[15:31] <TJ-> rory-: "HostName bastion.*.blah.com" is valid but you'd still have to do "ssh bastion.foo.blah.com", there is no parameter expansion as in the shell, although you might be able to leverage shell expansion to achieve it
[15:32] <acetakwas> 4kdownloader doesn't work in Ubuntu 15. Any helpful clue?
[15:33] <reisio> acetakwas: what's it for?
[15:33] <blackflow> Guys, how can I set alt-tab to switch only between windows groups, and when switching from one to another that next alt-tab switches back? Currently it's horrendously broken if you have more than one group of windows active.
[15:33] <rory-> TJ-: The driver for my question is this: I have multiple remote environments with a bastion, and it would be very nice for me to just do "ssh preprod" or whatever and have it understand that that means bastion.preprod.example.com
[15:33] <rory-> TJ-: I'm thinking a little bash wrapper would be best to be honest

[15:48] <kadiro> hello, I found a link about copy MBR from disk to another, is this link ok? http://www.techpository.com/?page_id=123
[15:51] <kadiro> I'am currently copy a lot of partitions from disk to a second one by gparted ( not in the same order ), i want if someone can confirm if i'm correct or not
[15:52] <reisio> you can duplicate a partition layout with sfdisk or sgdisk
[15:53] <CarlFK> kadiro: you want to copy the files, right ?
[15:54] <k1l_> kadiro: are you cloning a disk to another or why do you want the MBR to be copied?
[15:55] <goldiloks> hi
[15:56] <goldiloks> can i hack display resolution?
[15:56] <cfhowlett> goldiloks, if you are REALLY good, sure.
[15:56] <k1l_> goldiloks: can you rephrase that question?
[15:57] <cfhowlett> goldiloks, but most of us mere mortals find it easier to just install the appropriate drivers for the gpu
[15:57] <goldiloks> i mean, could i make this resolution to 1280x800, because on windows it capable to that res..
[15:58] <kadiro> yes i clone a disk not in the same order but one by one using gparted and after that i want to copy a mbr from the first to the second disk
[15:58] <goldiloks> in linux it just 1280x768
[15:58] <rsv> can i do auto login as soon as i boot the device
[15:58] <jpds> rsv: Yep
[15:58] <mistralol> kadiro: if you clone a disk the mbr would also be cloned
[15:59] <kadiro> i have some i/o problems, is this ok or i will do something after copying?
[15:59] <jpds> rsv: "auto login ubuntu lightdm" should do it in Google
[15:59] <jwitko> Hey guys I have a server where my iscsi connections to my SAN stopped working.  I have identical setups in the same network where the iscsi connection is still just fine to the SAN.  Multipath -ll gives me the error "Error: : Inappropriate ioctl for device"   can anyone help ?
[15:59] <rofltech> goldiloks: install the right drivers or just set your resolution.  xrandr -output <display to change> -mode 1920x1080
[15:59] <TJ-> goldiloks: the X server gets the list of possible resolutions from the display, in a data format known as EDID. If for some reason that isn't available,  or is corrupt, then the GPU driver will chose only known safe resolutions
[15:59] <jpds> rsv: Actually, user accounts in system settings has an option for it
[16:00] <kadiro> mistralol: i do that but not in the same order the partition from sda1 copyied to sdb5
[16:00] <TJ-> goldiloks: You may find clues as to whether EDID has been correctly read from the display in "/var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[16:00] <mistralol> kadiro: why do you need the mbr copied? its not going to be correct at all in that case
[16:01] <kadiro> so i need to boot from a live usb?
[16:01] <goldiloks> rofltech: what is the output?
[16:01] <Saulo> (away) Inativo por mais de 20 minutos
[16:01] <rofltech> goldiloks: the display you want to change.  xrandr with no arguements will list them and possible modes
[16:01] <goldiloks> TJ-: oh ok.. i'll see that clue first
[16:02] <mistralol> kadiro: well I don't know what your problem is yet :)
[16:02] <kadiro> !es | Saulo
[16:02] <rofltech> goldiloks: you can also manually add modes to xorg.conf if you want.
[16:02] <kadiro> thank you mistralol
[16:02] <mistralol> kadiro: but if you have had a drive failure. You have then cloned the partion? And now you want to boot from it?
[16:03] <kadiro> mistralol: yes this is the point, if i do something else after copying
[16:03] <acetakwas> reisio, Botchla thanks. I installed a new version (64-bit). That works!
[16:03] <Botchla> acetakwas: Excellent.
[16:03] <cfhowlett> kadiro, why not just copy the DATA, reformat/format the HDD and install then restore the data.
[16:04] <mistralol> kadiro: if you just want the data back use a liveusb and mount the cloned partion and copy it off
[16:04] <reisio> gj
[16:04] <kadiro> cfhowlett: I have no space available to do a backup
[16:04] <goldiloks> rofltech: is that safe to manually add modes to xorg.conf? How to do that?
[16:04] <mistralol> kadiro: if you copyied the mbr over you will trash the partiion table on that drive ;)
[16:05] <cfhowlett> kadiro, yeah, this is not going to go the way you think ...
[16:05] <mistralol> kadiro: what was on the original drive? and were there a lot of error's when cloneing it?
[16:05] <kadiro> thank you, i will boot from live usb and install mbr for this problem
[16:06] <rofltech> goldiloks: i added them for a laptop with invalid resolutions probably not the best method but it worked and just use the archwiki
[16:06] <kadiro> cfhowlett: thank you for helping me, but just i want to copy my lubuntu because i can't reconfigure a lot of things
[16:07] <kadiro> the others partition i can do just a copy like said mistralol
[16:07] <EriC^^> !xrandr | goldiloks
[16:07] <EriC^^> nevermind
[16:07] <cfhowlett> kadiro, out of space?  sudo apt-get autoremove (clear out old kernels and no longer needed packages) sudo apt-get clean (clear out the packages from cache)
[16:08] <kadiro> mistralol: the original have lubuntu and two other partitions
[16:08] <K1Du> hi , i have a issue , i installed on a laptop a xbox hdd storage of 2 gb and booted ubuntu on it : problems 1 very lagging and freezing every 5 minutes 2 touchpad doesnt work and 3 keys are getting stucked
[16:09] <K1Du> i think the hdd is ntfs
[16:09] <goldiloks> rofltech: actually i just wanna my screen look larger
[16:09] <kadiro> cfhowlett: the disk i'm currently on it have 40 G on all partitioned in two linux and data the disk i want to copy have also 40G i want to copy it on a new one with 160G
[16:10] <goldiloks> ubottu: but i don't have another monitor, it's laptop
[16:10] <kadiro> so i cant backup 40G on 14G
[16:11] <goldiloks> ubottu: seriously you a bot?
[16:11] <K1Du> anyone?
[16:12] <kadiro> !ubottu | goldiloks
[16:13] <kadiro> thank you Mr mistralol and Mr cfhowlett for your help
[16:14] <goldiloks> kadiro: oh, i'm new on linux.. and this is my first time use IRC. hehe thanks btw
[16:14] <rmc3> Does anyone know if there's a way for the installer, when configured to look for a preseed file, to fetch a different preseed file based on some parameter (such as mac address) automatically? Looking for some way to make hosts fetch a preseed file customized for them during installation. Haven't found anything in the docs so far.
[16:14] <kadiro> thank you k1l_ sorry i forget :/
[16:14] <kadiro> CarlFK: thank you and sorry again
[16:16] <andrej> cheers
[16:17] <dreamcat4> hi. will ubuntu support the new skylake processors ?
[16:18] <dreamcat4> i suppose there is nothing untowards to worry about
[16:18] <reisio> dreamcat4: yes of course
[16:18] <cfhowlett> dreamcat4, eventually ... probably ...
[16:18] <kadiro> you welcome goldiloks
[16:18] <reisio> Linux already does
[16:20] <dreamcat4> ah. it seems i may need to add "i915.preliminary_hw_support=1" in grub to the kernel boot params
[16:20] <kadiro> about 24 minutes and gparted will copy the last partition i think, hop it will be fine, can gparted after copying have an option to check and repair?
[16:20] <dreamcat4> but that's about it! :)
[16:23] <jwitko> Hey guys I have a server where my iscsi connections to my SAN stopped working.  I have identical setups in the same network where the iscsi connection is still just fine to the SAN.  Multipath -ll gives me the error "Error: : Inappropriate ioctl for device"   can anyone help ?
[16:24] <kadiro> please help !!
[16:25] <kadiro> how to check and repair partition from gparted?

[16:27] <kadiro> thank you very much Mr jwitko
[16:28] <dudeern> I think I'm experiencing some minor issue, though I'm new to linux so I could use some advice.  I'm trying to mount an internal HDD through fstab.  Once booted and on the desktop, my machine recognizes the file path (says that HDD is in the folder where I want it), but it does not show content and it shows information about the /home/ partition.  Almost like it mounted the filepath, but not the drive
[16:29] <dudeern> if I run a "sudo mount /destinationfilepath/", then it works
[16:29] <kadiro> jwitko: is gpart different from gparted?
[16:30] <dudeern> "sudo mount -a" does nothing, but gives no errors
[16:30] <jwitko> kadiro, i think gpart is used for recovery?
[16:30] <somsip> !info gpart | kadiro
[16:31] <jwitko> !info gparted | kadiro
[16:31] <kadiro> thank you, so it is for restoring data like testdisk?
[16:34] <TJ-> kadiro: gparted is a GUI partitioning tool, used in installers and by anyone who prefers the GUI to the command-line tools. It had some restrictions and doesn't have advanced functionality
[16:35] <kadiro> TJ-: thank you now i understand
[16:36] <xwyfgotitall> Hello. I am wondering if anyone can help me. I have a freshly built computer with an Asus Z170-A motherboard and Ubuntu couldn't pick up my sound chip, after a bit of playing around last night with assistance from some members here I am now looking at a black screen with a white flashing cursor in the top left. can someone help please.
[16:36] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: that sounds rather like a boot failure, is that correct?
[16:37] <xwyfgotitall> yes i think so
[16:37] <cfhowlett> xwyfgotitall, never booted properly?
[16:37] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: do you have multiple sotrage devices attached (disks, USB) ?
[16:37] <xwyfgotitall> I am like 5 days new to linux as my friend has been helping me trying to get things straight. apparently the conclusion was my stuff is too new??
[16:37] <blackflow> Hi. Why is Firefox crashing so often?
[16:37] <xwyfgotitall> i have an ssd and hdd
[16:38] <xangua> !details | blackflow
[16:38] <cfhowlett> xwyfgotitall, HEY!!!! did it ever boot correctly?  ansswering questions help find answers to problems.
[16:38] <blackflow> xangua: well, it just crashes at least once a day, no explanation, nothing.
[16:38] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: It could be simple - it could be the firmware is trying to boot from the wrong device. You should be able to press a key during POST and get a manual boot manager menu and choose which device to boot from.
[16:38] <jwitko> Hey guys I have a server where my iscsi connections to my SAN stopped working.  I have identical setups in the same network where the iscsi connection is still just fine to the SAN.  Multipath -ll gives me the error "Error: : Inappropriate ioctl for device"   can anyone help ?
[16:39] <xwyfgotitall> yes sorry, it was running fine yesterday. the only issue i had was it wasnt picking up sound
[16:40] <Armadillos> jwitko: Have you asked in #ubuntu-server?
[16:40] <jwitko> Armadillos, no, ty i'll try there
[16:41] <xwyfgotitall> I am in the GNU GRUB at the moment, if that helps?
[16:42] <dudeern> Need some fstab advice if someone is available
[16:42] <MonkeyDust> !ask | dudeern
[16:42] <Botchla> xwyfgotitall: And you can select your operating system from there?
[16:43] <xwyfgotitall> yes, it goes back to a black screen with a white flashing cursur on the top left
[16:43] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: If you're got the GRUB boot menu then the system is booting correctly. What happens if you choose the default Ubuntu entry?
[16:43] <xwyfgotitall> black screen with a small white cursor in top left TJ
[16:44] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: that doesn't sound great. Can you recall what instructions you were given that lead to this. It sounds like the kernel image is corrupted
[16:45] <xwyfgotitall> I wasn't doing anything, my more linux savvy friend was talking to guys on here. I think he was saying something about updating to 15.04 and then updating the kernel so it could pick up my sound chip.
[16:45] <xwyfgotitall> he must have restarted and then this happened
[16:45] <Botchla> ...what. Your friend that knows you're knew asked you to use a non-LTS version?
[16:45] <Botchla> new*
[16:46] <Armadillos> xwyfgotitall: In your grub menu, do you have the ability to load a previous version on the kernel?
[16:46] <dudeern> I'm trying to mount an internal HDD through fstab.  Once booted and on the desktop, my machine recognizes the file path (says that HDD is in the folder where I want it), but it does not show content and it shows information about the boot partition (size, available space, etc).  Almost like it mounted the filepath, but not the drive.  "sudo mount -a" does not change it, but "sudo mount /destinationpath/" does.  The documentation on "mount
[16:46] <dudeern> " says that if only specifying a source or destination (not both), then "mount" references fstab to mount the drive.  So fstab works, but it is not mounting correctly at boot.  Any thoughts?  Here is the applicable line from fstab:  http://pastebin.com/F1hRTZC9
[16:47] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: do you know what nickname your friend used? I can then look up what was said in the logs
[16:47] <xwyfgotitall> there is "ubuntu", advanced options for ubuntu" and "system setup"
[16:48] <xwyfgotitall> it was assistingfriend, assistfriend or supermanintights. something along those lines
[16:48] <xwyfgotitall> it may have been in the ubuntu-uk
[16:49] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: I recall Superman :)
[16:50] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: try Advanced and an older kernel, with Recovery mode, to being with. Let's see if we can at least get it to start.

[16:52] <xwyfgotitall> there is also 4.2.0-040200rc7?
[16:53] <ioria> xwyfgotitall, try the 3.19
[16:53] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: Avoid 4.2 for now, that is probably the cause of the FAILURE

[16:54] <choice> Hello! Just got a new XPS13 with Ubuntu. Not much works :) Touchpad is doing strange things and Wifi can't see my router. It sees other routers though. Do I have to change the region settings to connect to my router? And if so - how?
[16:54] <ioria> xwyfgotitall,  it works ?
[16:55] <cfhowlett> choice, you're still on the default ubuntu or did you reinstall?
[16:55] <xwyfgotitall> yes, everything except my mouse i think
[16:55] <ioria> xwyfgotitall,  sound ?
[16:55] <choice> cfhowlett: just opened the box 5 minutes ago and turned the machine on for the first time.
[16:55] <xwyfgotitall> mouse is working now... sound chip isn't recognised
[16:55] <cfhowlett> choice, couldn't hurt to verify your reigon settings
[16:56] <choice> cfhowlett: how do you do that?
[16:56] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: sounds like you need to remove the 4.2xxxx kernel
[16:56] <ioria> xwyfgotitall,  how did you install it ... dpkg -i ?
[16:56] <xwyfgotitall> my friend installed it. D:

[16:58] <choice> cfhowlett: is that really related to wifi? it seems to be related to numbers etc.
[16:58] <xwyfgotitall> yes probably
[16:58] <cfhowlett> choice,  I wondered why you brought it up, but ...
[16:58] <ioria> xwyfgotitall,  so... if TJ- agrees , maybe dpkg -p to remove it
[16:59] <choice> cfhowlett: googling for "wifi ubuntu cant see my router" brings up to change your region settings. but by editing config files.
[16:59] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: first find out if it was installed using the package manager: "apt list 'linux-image-4.2*'  "

[17:24] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: looks like it could be related to the laptop having hybrid graphics. What make/model is the PC?
[17:24] <enrico_> ciao
[17:24] <xwyfgotitall> it is a custom, i built it on thursday
[17:24] <xwyfgotitall> through pcpartpicker
[17:25] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: what is the make/model of motherboard?
[17:25] <xwyfgotitall> http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/vjNxMp
[17:25] <xwyfgotitall> only thing that is different is the cpu cooler and the power supply
[17:25] <dragutux> heya, is it possible there is a bug with apache/a2enmod ?
[17:25] <ioria> xwyfgotitall, are you fully updated ?
[17:26] <dragutux> (i'm trying to activate mod_rewrite and it farted ..)
[17:26] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: "pastebinit <( sudo dmidecode -t baseboard ) "
[17:26] <xwyfgotitall> i wasn't. i am now
[17:26] <Pici> dragutux: what happened?
[17:26] <wafflejock> dragutux: not likely what'd u type
[17:27] <wafflejock> dragutux: should be a2enmod rewrite
[17:27] <Pici> wafflejock: dragutux: +sudo
[17:27] <wafflejock> ya that too
[17:28] <xwyfgotitall> it said invalid direction target TJ
[17:28] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: OK... possibly the mobo hasn't correctly implemented DMI, I did notice no DMI report in the kernel dmesg.
[17:28] <dragutux> Pici, i'm root.
[17:28] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: This is where I'm looking at the spec. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z170-A/specifications/
[17:28] <dragutux> already used a2enmod
[17:29] <dragutux> it says there is  rewrite_module (shared)
[17:29] <dragutux>  when i use apachectl -M
[17:29] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: "pastebinit  <( lspci -nn )"
[17:29] <dragutux> but every rewrite request fails
[17:30] <xwyfgotitall> same, is the "<" supposed to be there? it is white coloured in fish
[17:31] <xwyfgotitall> it says invalid redirection target
[17:31] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: there is no space between < and ( it's just <( ...command... )
[17:32] <xwyfgotitall> yes, i put no space
[17:32] <ioria> xwyfgotitall, by the way, uname -r
[17:32] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: sounds like you're not using the bash shell - what does "echo $SHELL" report?
[17:33] <xwyfgotitall> 3.19.0-26-generic
[17:33] <xwyfgotitall> the shell i am using is fish
[17:33] <mariofv>  irc.OpenJoke.org
[17:34] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: ioria well, that kernel includes ALC892 support (commit 274693f37 in 2009)
[17:34] <ioria> yep
[17:34] <xwyfgotitall>  usr/bin/fish
[17:35] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: ahhh, ok, do "/bin/bash" so you're using bash, then redo the command "pastebinit <( lspci -nn )"
[17:36] <xwyfgotitall> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12185398
[17:36] <xwyfgotitall> sorry about that
[17:37] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: OK, that means your motherboard doesn't match the Asus specification
[17:37] <dragutux> ok so
[17:37] <dragutux> solved it
[17:38] <dragutux> installed mpm-worker
[17:38] <dragutux> insteaf of prefork
[17:38] <dragutux> that forced a clean install
[17:38] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: the 'lspci' report shows the system has 8086:a170' (8086 is the Intel Vendor ID) but the Asys spec claims a Realtek AC892 which has '10ec"0892'
[17:39] <DayDreamer> So I recently moved into Computer Engineering. Two of my friends had advised me that I should look into linux/unix systems. While I do want to install it, I wanted to ask, what should I be learning and doing with it to get the most out of it?
[17:39] <xwyfgotitall> where do i go from here?
[17:39] <reisio> DayDreamer: anything, it's a better system for anything & everything
[17:39] <reisio> I wouldn't use Windows to open a .txt file if I had a choice of doing it on Unix
[17:39] <DayDreamer> That's a terrible answer. I have no idea what that means because it's too broad and vague especially to someone with no experience.
[17:40] <reisio> DayDreamer: to get the most out of it in what way, exactly?
[17:40] <v0r0nwe> DayDreamer: sorry, but your question is also very "broad and vague" :-)
[17:40] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: Linux kernel support for 8086:A170 was added with commit c8b00fd2f4 on 2014-10-13 which means it isn't in the Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 kernel
[17:40] <xangua> DayDreamer: your question itself it's a very broad one
[17:40] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: That explains why you friend tried to install the latest kernel release-candidate
[17:41] <DayDreamer> Right now all I've done so far is some basic programming
[17:41] <pauljw> DayDreamer, learn the cli
[17:41] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: I think what you need is the LTS supported Hardware Enablement stack which brings in a more recent Ubuntu kernel
[17:42] <DayDreamer> pauljw: Yeah, I've been navigating through my school's unix server and really the prompt is that I dislike using the Windows shell app
[17:42] <xwyfgotitall> where do i get that from
[17:42] <dragutux> ok you want a plan DayDreamer  ?
[17:42] <dragutux> step a : learn to install ubuntu
[17:42] <dragutux> step b : learn to create an usb key to live boot
[17:43] <dragutux> step c : learn to use ntfs tools to recover deleted files by accidents on computers
[17:43] <dragutux> voila, you got 1 tech operation covered and you can recover files for users
[17:43] <dragutux> along those you'll learn a lot
[17:43] <DayDreamer> That's literally more informative that just saying "Everything"
[17:44] <dragutux> just one thing
[17:44] <ioria> TJ- he should install 14.04.3 ?
[17:44] <dragutux> i hope your name isnt litteral
[17:44] <dragutux> because yeah, you need to focus a lot
[17:45] <pauljw> glad i'm going to be his prof
[17:45] <TJ-> ioria: does that bring in a 3.19 kernel?
[17:45] <dragutux> i could teach
[17:45] <dragutux> but i have to resist the urge of snapping and beheading a student
[17:45] <dragutux> if he's too dumb
[17:45] <ioria> TJ-  no ... 3.16.0-46-generic
[17:46] <dragutux> cya guys i'm returning to whatever i was doing :D
[17:46] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: ioria I've just been looking at the reverse-depends of the various HWE kernels, to see which will have the required driver support
[17:46] <xwyfgotitall> i went from 14.04 and upgraded to 14.10 then upgraded to 15.04
[17:46] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: sorry, you're already on 3.19 kernel aren't you
[17:47] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: OK, so you need one of the mainline kernel builds, but a stable one, from the kernel team PPA
[17:47] <xwyfgotitall> i believe so yes. when i upgraded to the newer one the system went kaput
[17:47] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: what does "uname -m" report?
[17:48] <Mc-Kay> Hello, Is there a channel that I need to be in for Ubuntu mate?
[17:48] <xwyfgotitall> x86_64
[17:49] <MonkeyDust> Mc-Kay  ask in this channel and wait
[17:50] <enrico_> http://xdcc_CANCEL_X1440437978
[17:50] <Mc-Kay> I had the idea this was the main channel since this is the link I followed.
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> Mc-Kay  it is, now let's hear it
[17:51] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: I have a script that automates the download and install of a mainline kernel. If you download this and then we'll make it executable, and you can use it.  " wget -O $HOME/wget_kernel_mainline.sh   https://iam.tj/projects/misc/wget_kernel_mainline.sh"
[17:51] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: once downloaded, do "chmod u+x $HOME/wget_kernel_mainline.sh"
[17:53] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: once you've done that do "mkdir /tmp/kernels && pushdir /tmp/kernels && $HOME/wget_kernel_mainline.sh v4.1.6-unstable"
[17:53] <goddard> what the the recommended permissions for ssh keys?
[17:54] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: typo! use this "mkdir /tmp/kernels && pushd /tmp/kernels && $HOME/wget_kernel_mainline.sh v4.1.6-unstable"
[17:54] <xwyfgotitall> it says invalid option
[17:54] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: what "it" ?
[17:54] <jonassm> hey guys, im having some issues with a partition(s). I already have 4, but i have one unallocated which i want to put in my ext4, to extend it.
[17:55] <MonkeyDust> jonassm  you mean, merge two martitons?
[17:56] <MonkeyDust> partitions*
[17:56] <xwyfgotitall> i have written it out exactly and it saus wget: invalid option -- '0'         usage: wget [option]...    [url]
[17:56] <jonassm> no, extend one.
[17:56] <jonassm> i already have data on my ext4 i dont want to lose though
[17:56] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: "O" is  capital o not a zero
[17:56] <jonassm> i could do it fine on windows - is it harder on ubuntu ?
[17:56] <MonkeyDust> jonassm  what do you mean by extend?
[17:56] <xwyfgotitall> ok sorry :)
[17:57] <jonassm> i have 4 partitions, the maximum. i also have an unallocated 100gig something partition. I want to put those 100gig on the partition with 30gigs, the linux one
[17:58]  * ki7rw is one unhappy dude
[17:58] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: here's all the commands you need, to avoid having to scrollback: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12185636/
[17:58] <ki7rw> i installed wireshark and while trying to get it to see the interfaces i screwed up my desktop
[17:58] <akik> jonassm: the 4 partition limit only applies if they are primary partitions
[17:59] <ki7rw> now i gotta spend a bunch of time fixing this!! undoing what i did didn't fix the problem
[17:59] <jonassm> i have 4 primary partitions, and one unallocated, the allocated i want to put on one of the primary partitions, the linux one
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> jonassm  that makes no sense
[18:00] <TJ-> jonassm: which partition is unallocation, 1,2,3 or 4 ?
[18:00] <jonassm> ...5
[18:00] <jonassm> thats the thing
[18:00] <jonassm> look
[18:00] <jonassm> how do i take a screenshot?
[18:00]  * ki7rw knows, he got what he "paid" for
[18:00] <TJ-> jonassm: or, do you mean you have 4 partitions AND 100GiB unallocated to ANY partition?
[18:00] <jonassm> im not really good at explaining stuff
[18:00] <Mc-Kay> I just updated from nornal ubuntu/unit 14.04 to ubuntumate 15.04, installed all the normal programs, however I have a strange text rendering issue on the desktop where the icon text, menu and panel /clock appears for a short time goes towards being blurry, that area can only be read again when I move the mouse point towards those icons or that part of the panel?
[18:00] <kgirthofer> anyway to watch something with smaller time signature than one second?
[18:00] <kgirthofer> i.e. watch -n 100ms date
[18:01] <xwyfgotitall> why typing out "xwyfgotitall: typo! use this "mkdir /tmp/kernels && pushd /tmp/kernels && $HOME/wget_kernel_mainline.sh v4.1.6-unstable"" the response was cannot create directory 'tmp/kernels' file exists
[18:01] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: OK, you created the directory already... so just do "pushd /tmp/kernels && $HOME/wget_kernel_mainline.sh v4.1.6-unstable"
[18:02] <TJ-> jonassm: what does "sudo parted /dev/sdX units s print" (replace X with your drive letter)
[18:02] <jonassm> http://imgur.com/EBTKQ43
[18:02] <jonassm> dont mind the other screen :p
[18:02] <TJ-> jonassm: grrr, I typoed again! "sudo parted /dev/sdX unit s print" (replace X with your drive letter)
[18:03] <jonassm> @tj- look at my imgur link
[18:03] <xwyfgotitall> just downloading, my internet is pretty rubbish so i will let you know when it is done
[18:04] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: OK :) while it does that can you show is "pastebinit <( df )" please, so we know you have sufficient disk space
[18:04] <TJ-> jonassm: It is too small, and doesn't provide the detail I require. Please use the command I gave you
[18:05] <xwyfgotitall> can i do that whilst it is processing in the terminal?
[18:05] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: You should be able to open an additional terminal tab with Ctrl+Shift+T, or use the top menu to do it
[18:06] <xwyfgotitall> oh, i did something and it pushed the download to a second line. is this ok?
[18:06] <jonassm> @tj- http://imgur.com/qtFnh9e
[18:06] <TJ-> jonassm: please use the command I gave you
[18:06] <jonassm> i did tj-.. thats a picture of it.
[18:07] <TJ-> jonassm: as in, put the text it reports in a pastebin... pictures are no good
[18:07] <TJ-> !paste | jonassm
[18:07] <xwyfgotitall> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12185720
[18:07] <jonassm> tj- this better? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12185729/ sorry if im a hassle :p
[18:08] <ioria> wow
[18:08] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: phew! great, you don't have a separate /boot/ file-system so plenty of space
[18:08] <TJ-> jonassm: thank you. Your imgur image is only 1024x288 pixels!
[18:09] <xwyfgotitall> what is the size of the download TJ-
[18:10] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: I can't remember offhand, it's the required kernel packages though
[18:11] <TJ-> jonassm: ok, so you have unallocated space from sector<PHONE_NUMBER> to<PHONE_NUMBER> ?
[18:12] <goddard> ssh warns about permissions being to open, but doesn't say what the permissions should be
[18:14] <clobrano> goddard: are you talking about permissions to .ssh folder and keys?
[18:14] <TJ-> jonassm: my maths shows "echo '(3816914943-3407106049)*512/1024/1024/1024'|bc"  = 195GiB - is that correct?
[18:14] <goddard> clobrano: keys inside
[18:14] <EriC^^> goddard: 600
[18:14] <clobrano> goddard: yep :D
[18:14] <goddard> clobrano: ahh ok thanks EriC^^
[18:14] <Faryshta> hi, i am having issues with my speakers and headphones that produce no sound at all. I have installed and uninstalled pulseaudio with no results. Is there a way to know if my computer is recongizing the speakers hardware?
[18:14] <Scott606> Can someone walk me through installing the correct drivers for my video card .. Im on a fresh install of xubuntu 64 bit and this is my card when i do lspci
[18:14] <Scott606> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM]
[18:14] <Scott606> 02:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6400 Series]
[18:14] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, I am just installing
[18:15] <EriC^^> goddard: no problem
[18:15] <Faryshta> Is there a way to know if my computer is recongizing the speakers hardware?
[18:15] <Umeaboy> Check lshw
[18:15] <EriC^^> Faryshta: also aplay -l
[18:15] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: assuming there are no error reports... try rebooting it should be the kernel used as default... if it hangs/crashes like 4.2.xxx did, use the Advanced menu again :)
[18:15] <Umeaboy> Check what module the card uses.
[18:15] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, done
[18:15] <jonassm> yes tj-
[18:16] <jonassm> sorry was out making coffee
[18:16] <xwyfgotitall> fingers crossed!
[18:16] <Scott606> Talking to me umeaboy?
[18:16] <Umeaboy> Scott606: Nope.
[18:16] <Scott606> sorry lol
[18:16] <Umeaboy> To Faryshta.
[18:17] <Umeaboy> Also try readin the Alsa wiki.
[18:17] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, it booted up successfully
[18:17] <Umeaboy> Or PulseAudio if that's what you're using.
[18:17] <Faryshta> Umeaboy: thanks, i am checking the lshw result. what should I look there?
[18:17] <Faryshta> EriC^^: i uninstalled alsa to see if it was the issue, should I reinstall it?
[18:17] <choice> How do you add a root terminal to Ubuntus launcher?
[18:17] <TJ-> jonassm: It looks like you shrank the NTFS partition # to leave free space. You have a problem. You cannot easily add that space into the Extended Partition in #4 nor allocate it to a primary.
[18:17] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: OK... try "aplay --list-devices" again
[18:18] <Umeaboy> Faryshta: sudo lshw | grep Audio
[18:18] <weliper> I have an old Laptop for over 8 years a go. v12.04 loads successfully but 15.04 does not. It arives to the window we choose Try/Install, after that I have a blank screen, I waits for minutes, hours but it's not loaded!
[18:18] <OerHeks> choice, that would not be security-wise
[18:18] <Scott606> Anyone mind PMing me and helping me install my video card driver.
[18:18] <Umeaboy> weliper: What graphic card does it use?
[18:18] <xwyfgotitall> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12185807
[18:18] <Faryshta> Umeaboy: http://pastie.org/10372789
[18:19] <EriC^^> Faryshta: yes, reinstall alsa
[18:19] <TJ-> jonassm: in theory, the partitioning tool should allow you to create an out-of-order logical partition inside another extended partition. However, I doubt that gparted can do that
[18:19] <weliper> AMD, Umeaboy. I think the 4xxx series
[18:19] <Umeaboy> Have you tried deleting splash quiet from the Try/Install row?
[18:19] <Faryshta> EriC^^: ok then let me finish purgin alsa, then  will reinstall
[18:19] <Umeaboy> Also try to add noacpi to see if that helps.
[18:19] <jonassm> i get what you're saying tj-. i'll try
[18:19] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: Yay! the device shows up! See if you can use it
[18:20] <weliper> Umeaboy: huh! it's not installed! I don't have grub right now.
[18:20] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, i can't hear anything through my headphones through the front jacks
[18:20] <EriC^^> choice: you can always launch a normal terminal and type sudo -i to get a root prompt
[18:21] <Faryshta> Umeaboy: that advice of removing splash was intended to me?
[18:21] <choice> OerHeks: maybe. im new to ubuntu. use debian and mint normally. my new xps13 came with ubuntu preinstalled. not sure if i will keep it or replace with debian or mint. do i have to somehow pin the terminal to the launcher and then edit it?
[18:21] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: headphones can often be another problem to deal with. Can you test the speaker outputs?
[18:21] <Umeaboy> weliper: You can before you choose to load any row click on Tab to edit.
[18:21] <choice> EriC^^: sure, thats what i do now. but i like to have a root terminal button.
[18:21] <crucerio> hi there, my laptop does not recognize the built in keyboard anymore (ubuntu 15.04) what am I to do?
[18:21] <EriC^^> choice: and not type the password even?
[18:21] <Umeaboy> Highlight Try before install and press Tabulator button.
[18:22] <Umeaboy> Then delete splash quiet from the row and press F10.
[18:22] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: also, use the Mixer control to ensure the ALC892 is being used - it is possible the PC is trying to send audio to the HDMI device
[18:22] <weliper> Umeaboy: What do you mean for row? They are button!
[18:22] <choice> EriC^^: i expect the password prompt to come up when i start it.
[18:22] <choice> EriC^^: do i have to pin the terminal to the launcher and then edit it?
[18:22] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, I only have a monitor with speakers at the moment so i am playing sound through the GPU. i dont have any speakers to use
[18:22] <EriC^^> choice: you have to create a new launcher .desktop in /usr/share/applications with the Exec=gksu <terminal>
[18:23] <goddard> is there a way to output file permissions in number format for files?
[18:23] <ioria> xwyfgotitall, alsamixer is working ?
[18:23] <choice> EriC^^: no visual way to add something to the launcher?
[18:23] <Umeaboy> Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[18:23] <Umeaboy> Riiiiiight.
[18:23] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: can you plug your headphones into one or more of the speaker outputs - you should hear something from the front-left/right output which is usually Green, I think
[18:23] <EriC^^> choice: no
[18:23] <Umeaboy> weliper: You have the same problem using any other Live version?
[18:23] <EriC^^> not unless the terminal you install has a .desktop like that preinstalled
[18:24] <choice> EriC^^: you must be kidding me? even debian has a "mainmenu" menu where you can add stuff.
[18:24] <Umeaboy> Like using the Live version of Ubuntu 14.10.
[18:24] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: also, if the monitor is connected by HDMI and you are, by default, hearing sound through those speakers, then plugging headaphones into the other sound device might *not* cause the output device to change
[18:24] <Scott606> Anyone care to PM me and help me install my video card driver Please and Thanks
[18:24] <weliper> Umeaboy: no, 12.04 works great. but the problam stands for: 13.04, 13.10 ... 15.04
[18:24] <OerHeks> choice, i guess this way the terminal asks for your pass > http://askubuntu.com/questions/118822/how-to-launch-application-as-root-from-unity-launcher
[18:24] <Umeaboy> weliper: OK.
[18:25] <OerHeks> choice, i thought you wanted the terminal passwordless in root..
[18:25] <Faryshta> Umeaboy, EriC^^ restarting, back in a minute.
[18:25] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: in other words, you may have to manually change the output device if you want to use headphones, from the HDMI to the Analogue
[18:25] <Umeaboy> You only said 12.04 and 15.04. :)
[18:25] <choice> OerHeks: yes, im hanging at step 1 "Pin the application to the launcher as normal." - what does that mean?
[18:25] <Umeaboy> TJ-: I've had the same problem with that for a while.
[18:25] <EriC^^> choice: that's to do with the DE not debian/ubuntu
[18:25] <weliper> Umeaboy :)
[18:26] <choice> EriC^^: i found it: start the app, then right click the icon and click "lock to launcher"
[18:26] <Umeaboy> weliper: Try the mini.iso. ;)
[18:26] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, which card should i use?, digital output (S/PDIF) or Line out
[18:26] <OerHeks> choise, in this case, open terminal, then right klick, add to launcher
[18:26] <Umeaboy> That might help.
[18:26] <choice> EriC^^: yes, unity. never used it before. well, used it and decided i hate it. but since its preinstalled now i will give it another shot.
[18:26] <Umeaboy> Just try it and see.
[18:26] <EriC^^> choice: ah, i was referring to your question regarding doing it via a visual way (adding a root terminal)
[18:26] <Umeaboy> It's a text-based installation, but still works.
[18:26] <OerHeks> but that would be the same as the launcher in usr/share/applications/
[18:26] <weliper> Umeaboy: It needs internet. I need to install it offline :(
[18:27] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: it should be Stereo analog - line-out is non-amplified for driving an external amplifier
[18:27] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, it was only a minor set back. my volume was at 0% ;)
[18:27] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: LOL
[18:27] <xwyfgotitall> lmao
[18:27] <Umeaboy> weliper: Right.
[18:27] <OerHeks> chbest way now is to make your own launcher, and name it root-terminal or something
[18:27] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: OK... so where are you at now? Is it working?
[18:27] <Umeaboy> weliper: Can't you enable a WiFi hotspot with your cellphone then?
[18:28] <Umeaboy> :)
[18:28] <Umeaboy> I use that now and then.
[18:28] <weliper> I semi-loads! untill the window we choose via Try/Install button!
[18:28] <BluesKaj> xwyfgotitall: on most modern soundcards the green output connector is the "front" volume ctl in alsamixer, and both digital and analog outs are usually active if you have the hdmi connected as well
[18:28] <weliper> .It semi-loads*
[18:28] <Scott606> Anyone care to PM me and help me install my video card driver Please and Thanks
[18:28] <Umeaboy> It's not a great solution, but should work.
[18:28] <Umeaboy> Scott606: Hi!
[18:28] <Umeaboy> I'll TRY to help you if I can.
[18:28] <Umeaboy> No promises thou.
[18:28] <Scott606> Sweet
[18:29] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, from what i can tell, it is picking up my microphone and i can hear through both of my headset speaker from the jacks at the back of my computer. just going to check the front now
[18:30] <crucerio> laptop keyboard stopped working, is there anyone who knows how to fix it?
[18:31] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, it isworking 100% thank you so much!
[18:31] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: YAY! reward time... din-dins
[18:31] <xwyfgotitall> TJ-, you have saved my computer from being thrown out of a window
[18:31] <TJ-> xwyfgotitall: darn! If I knew tht I'd have waited outside :D
[18:32] <xwyfgotitall> lol
[18:32] <choice> after prefixing the command with gksudo -k -u root, nothing happens when i click on the item. is there a log file somewhere to see what went wrong?
[18:33] <choice> also searching for "terminal" in that bash thing does not bring up the gnome terminal anymore...
[18:33] <Faryshta> EriC^^: Umeaboy http://pastie.org/10372813 here is my aplay -l
[18:34] <EriC^^> Faryshta: do you have pulseaudio installed?
[18:35] <Faryshta> EriC^^: yes but the daemon says http://pastie.org/10372817
[18:38] <goddard> Why am I getting this error key_load_public: No such file or directory
[18:38] <goddard> it happens when trying to login over SSH
[18:38] <choice> maybe i have to add a root user to make the "launch as root" possible?
[18:39] <choice> i think i somewhere read that ubuntu comes without a root user...
[18:39] <v0r0nwe> hello fellows, someone here using weechat & bitlbee & whatsapp via libpurple? Some people send me direct messages but i only recieve exactly this: [Ciphered message received] any idea? they are not using otr or something like this (otr actually works for me for jabber :))
[18:39] <MonkeyDust> v0r0nwe  this is the ubuntu support channel
[18:40] <v0r0nwe> MonkeyDust: so sorry wrong window!
[18:40] <v0r0nwe> arghx
[18:40] <Faryshta> hi, I would like to configure my sound card, currently pulse audio is returning this error http://pastie.org/10372817 and this is my aplay http://pastie.org/10372813
[18:41] <EriC^^> choice: the -k isn't allowing it to work
[18:41] <EriC^^> gksu -u root <command> works
[18:41] <choice> EriC^^: interesting. all sites have it with the -k. let me try without...
[18:41] <nnull> gksu by itself will work, but i don't think that helps him on boot
[18:42] <ioria> TJ-   good job TJ- ... so it was a wrong kernel ?
[18:42] <choice> EriC^^: it works! hurray!
[18:42] <TJ-> ioria: I think it was badly installed, but also an RC so possibly quite unstable
[18:42] <choice> EriC^^: thanks!
[18:43] <EriC^^> choice: no problem
[18:43] <ioria> TJ-   i see
[18:44] <TJ-> ioria: flashing cursor usually means GRUB's linux ... line has loaded the kernel image into memory and tried to pass execution to its entry routine... but the bytes at the location are garbage and so the system just hangs
[18:44] <RegexNinja47> Hi! I'm having trouble getting KDE to run on a headless server. Would anyone be kind enough to help diagnose my problem? Here's the output of kde when it runs: http://pastebin.com/2RxRJMe5
[18:44] <TJ-> ioria: otherwise the kernel would have written something to screen as it initialised
[18:46] <ioria> TJ-   right
[18:47] <JesusIsAwesome> hey, how to update radeon driver to latest i have ubuntu 12
[18:48] <ObrienDave> 'latest' may not be the best choice for 12
[18:48] <Bashing-om> JesusIsAwesome: Depends on the card. Many of ATI's cards are now relegated to legacy, and no proprietary driver is available.
[18:50] <JesusIsAwesome> Bashing-om,  i want latest radeon open source driver
[18:50] <JesusIsAwesome> on ubuntu 12
[18:52] <Bashing-om> JesusIsAwesome: If your system is updated. You have the latest that is available from the software repsitory . terminal command ' lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga ' to see the card; and ' sudo lshw -C display ' to see what driver is loaded .
[18:52] <MonsieurBon> Hi
[18:54] <Korejora> I'd like to try Ubuntu, but I'm unsure of how to partition it. Any advice?
[18:54] <rory-> Korejora: Will you be dual-booting with Windows?
[18:55] <Korejora> Yes. Last time I tried this, though, grub destroyed Windows' MBR and I had to reinstall both OS, so this time I have a separate 256GB SSD for Ubuntu.
[18:55] <rory-> Korejora: During the Ubuntu installation, you can use a graphical interface to choose how much disk space is allocated to Windows, and how much to Ubuntu. The installer will then do the partitioning for you. You don't have to manually partition unless you want to.
[18:55] <MonsieurBon> I'm trying to log all dropped outgoing packets from iptables. These are my iptables-rules: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12186121/  and this is /etc/rsyslog.d/00-my_iptables.conf: :msg,contains,"[netfilter] " -/var/log/iptables.log
[18:56] <rory-> Korejora: You can also choose to install Ubuntu to only that SSD
[18:56] <MonsieurBon> Why am I not seeing anything in /var/log/iptables.log? The file isn't even being created.
[18:57] <MonsieurBon> Btw, this is on a virtual server.
[18:59] <Korejora> How does the installer partition it? It was a long time ago that I tried it, and I had to do things like figure out the size of the swap partition in relation to my RAM. Will it do all that?
[19:00] <Faryshta> hi, I would like to configure my sound card, currently pulse audio is returning this error http://pastie.org/10372817 and this is my aplay http://pastie.org/10372813
[19:02] <OerHeks> Korejora, yes, the installer calculates your rax x 2 + some kb for caches.
[19:02] <Bashing-om> Korejora: Yeah, if you choose "erase diak and install ubuntu" the installer will take care of all details. All you need to do is tell the installer where you are in the world, identify the keyboard and set a username and password. The installer does all the rest .
[19:02] <OerHeks> Korejora, see what it does in automatic mode
[19:03] <Korejora> OK. Thanks, guys!
[19:05] <akik> Korejora: i wouldn't trust anything automatic in your case if you had a bad experience last time
[19:05] <Bashing-om> Korejora: 'sudo parted -l' to make sure you know what the SSD is identified by the system as . Would not want to install to the wrong hard drive . - an ounce of prevention !
[19:05] <rory> as always, take a backup of any important data before doing anything related to partitions
[19:05] <rory> it only needs to happen once and it can ruin your whole week
[19:05] <snapfractalpop> anyone have experience with ufw?
[19:05] <rory> snapfractalpop: ask your next question (your real question) and find out :)
[19:06] <MonkeyDust> snapfractalpop  i'm sure it's really about iptables
[19:06] <snapfractalpop> I'm looking to use ufw as a kill-switch for pia vpn. is this a good idea?
[19:06] <r1k1_> snapfractalpop what you need to do with ufw?
[19:07] <rory> snapfractalpop: sure that would work fine
[19:07] <Korejora> @akik: That's what I was concerned about. Mostly I just don't want to lose the ability to boot into Windows if Ubuntu screws up or needs to be removed.
[19:07] <rory> snapfractalpop: assuming you mean to block access to the port(s) the VPN uses, in order to cause it to stop working?
[19:08] <snapfractalpop> rory: I mean, sometimes the internet in various places cuts out, and my connection to the vpn is killed along with it
[19:08] <snapfractalpop> when my connection comes back, it's without vpn
[19:08] <rory> snapfractalpop: So you want to be sure that you can't make connections without the VPN?
[19:08] <snapfractalpop> yeah
[19:08] <snapfractalpop> exactly
[19:09] <rory> snapfractalpop: What software are you using to connect to the VPN? Built into Ubuntu network manager?
[19:09] <snapfractalpop> yeap
[19:09] <snapfractalpop> yeah*
[19:09] <akik> Korejora: you can install the boot loader to the beginning of your linux partition and then use dd to copy it to a file, then add it to windows boot loader with bcdedit. it's not easy but it's possible
[19:10] <rory> snapfractalpop: you could configure the firewall to only allow outbound connections to the IP address(es) of the VPN service
[19:10] <Korejora> @Bashing-om: Will this be available in the installer, or will I have to run Ubuntu off the USB and run a terminal before installing?
[19:11] <snapfractalpop> rory: so, is vpn an interface, that I would "allow" with ufw?
[19:11] <rory> In my mind I'm picturing all outbound connections blocked by default, and then allowing outbound traffic to your VPN endpoint(s)
[19:12] <akik> Korejora: the installer allows you to manually create your partition scheme, showing your disks
[19:12] <EriC^^> Korejora: you could dd the mbr and copy it back if you want to restore the windows bootloader, if you don't have a windows cd
[19:12] <rory> But if you can do it by interface, that would work too
[19:12] <EriC^^> Korejora: are you using uefi though? or mbr/legacy?
[19:12] <rory> There is an option to automatically connect to VPN though I think. Might be worth clicking through the settings dialogue of the VPN connection to see if there's such an option
[19:12] <snapfractalpop> rory: that's what I was thinking.. I guess I just have to learn how to use ufw
[19:13] <snapfractalpop> rory: I'll check that too
[19:13] <Korejora> @EriC^^: I have a Windows CD. The problem is that all attempts to repair it via the Windows CD failed using bootrec, etc. failed.
[19:13] <EriC^^> Korejora: oh, bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot etc ?
[19:14] <Korejora> @EriC^^: Yes, those.
[19:14] <EriC^^> windows 7?
[19:14] <rory> Korejora: I've seen situations like this before when you have multiple hard drives. The Windows bootloader is installed to one drive, and then Grub installs to another and things get funky
[19:15] <Bashing-om> Korejora: Boot the liveUSB -> try ubuntu mode -> activate a terminal . and run 'sudo parted -l ' .. many times the USB is refognized as 'sda' where as 'you' might expect that the DDS is to be recognized as 'sda' . This confuses many peiple . from the desktop - when you are ready to install you can click on the install icon .
[19:15] <snapfractalpop> rory: you are right!!
[19:15] <rory> Korejora: There's an option in the same screen in the installer that partitions, that lets you choose which drive to install GRUB
[19:15] <Korejora> EriC^^: Yes, although because the MBR seemed unrecoverable I just wiped the disk and installed Windows 10 instead.
[19:15] <snapfractalpop> there *is* a way to make the connection automatically use vpn
[19:15] <EriC^^> Korejora: does win10 boot?
[19:15] <rory> snapfractalpop: Always better to come in and say what your problem is, rather than some detail of a solution you've come up with that may not be optimal :)
[19:15] <Bashing-om> rrcognized *
[19:16] <Korejora> @EriC^^: Yes. I completely wiped everything, Windows 7, Ubuntu, all of it. Now I have Windows 10 on its own SSD, which boots fine, and a separate blank SSD that I hope to try Ubuntu with.
[19:16] <skypce> hello all
[19:17] <skypce> how can disable the keypad numeric of my notebook?
[19:17] <EriC^^> Korejora: using uefi?
[19:17] <Korejora> @Eric^^: I don't know what that means.
[19:17] <EriC^^> are you in a live usb right now?
[19:18] <Korejora> @EriC^^: I'm in Windows 10 right now.
[19:18] <EriC^^> oh
[19:18] <snapfractalpop> rory-: yeah.. guess I had to backtrack a second
[19:19] <snapfractalpop> I went down the "kill switch" path because so many people online were discussing it
[19:19] <ali_> hi
[19:20] <EriC^^> Korejora: ok, well boot the live usb and see if you're using uefi or not, if you're using legacy then install ubuntu to the other hdd and the bootloader there too, and ubuntu's bootloader will boot windows
[19:20] <ioria> Korejora,  run  MSINFO32 in win10 and check BIOS MODE
[19:20] <EriC^^> if you're using uefi, the bootloader isn't installed in the mbr, it's in a separate partition on the disk, so if you want ubuntu to be a standalone install you can have it create it's own efi partition on the other hdd to boot it
[19:21] <Korejora> @ioria: It says UEFI.
[19:21] <ali_> i wanna install libssl-dev on ubuntu 14.04
[19:21] <ali_> but i get this error:
[19:21] <ali_>  libssl-dev : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (= 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2) but 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.8 is to be installed
[19:21] <ali_> and i try to install libssl1.0.0
[19:21] <ali_> and it says its already installed
[19:22] <rory-> snapfractalpop: I've seen people online saying that the auto-connect VPN thing doesn't work. Poke me if that happens to you.
[19:22] <ioria> Korejora,  so you should install ubu in the same way ... uefi
[19:22] <snapfractalpop> rory-: I've read that it may not work using gnome-keyring
[19:22] <snapfractalpop> rory-: I'm actually already using it with password in the config file
[19:23] <snapfractalpop> so hopefully it works, I'll test it now
[19:23] <Korejora> @ioria: Is that something it will ask about in the installer?
[19:24] <Korejora> @ioria: Or some specific manner I should be using the installer, like off type of device?
[19:24] <rory-> snapfractalpop: Yeah that was the extent of the advice I was going to offer you :P Seems you are all set now
[19:24] <snapfractalpop> rory-: thanks!
[19:25] <ioria> Korejora,  in bios ... you should see the usb labeled as uefi ...
[19:25] <Ben64> ali_: look at the error, there is a version problem, maybe you have PPAs messing with it, or you didn't do apt-get update, or something else
[19:25] <Korejora> @ioria: OK, thanks.
[19:25] <ioria> Korejora,  but efi motherboard are all different ...
[19:26] <EriC^^> Korejora: after you boot the live usb, open a terminal and type ls -l /sys/firmware/efi , if you get a list of dirs then you're booted in uefi
[19:26] <ioria> Korejora,  follow Eric^^ he is the uefi specialist ^_^
[19:26] <akik> EriC^^: does the installation ask about uefi after that?
[19:27] <EriC^^> akik: what do you mean?
[19:27] <akik> EriC^^: do i have to select uefi anywhere in the installation stages?
[19:27] <EriC^^> akik: no, if you're booted in uefi then it'll install in uefi
[19:28] <EriC^^> akik: Korejora same person?
[19:28] <Korejora> @EriC^^: No.
[19:28] <akik> EriC^^: no, i'm just interested because i've only installed in mbr mode
[19:28] <EriC^^> oh ok
[19:29] <plex>  /join #alt.binaries.movies.divx
[19:30] <plex>  /join #alt.binaries.movies.divx
[19:31] <Bashing-om> plex: A space befor the command '/join'. Remove that space .
[19:32] <TJ-> I think plex is an ad-bot
[19:32] <plex>  /join #alt.binaries.multimedia
[19:33] <plex>  /join #alt.binaries.multimedia
[19:33] <khax> hm..
[19:33] <MonkeyDust> plex  put the cursor before the /, then hit delete and enter
[19:33] <Bashing-om> TJ-: :), tks, As I live and learn .
[19:33] <MonkeyDust> oh, a bot
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> i w&as thinking it was intelligent
[19:34] <TJ-> there are no such channels; those are nntp newsgroups for binary/warez/malware
[19:34] <ioria> there' s a way to spot them ? i don't want to chat with a bot...
[19:34] <TJ-> ioria: long experience :)
[19:35] <ioria> TJ- ok
[19:37] <MANNYLNJ> hello
[19:41] <Nikesh> Can anyone point/guide me to setting up rsync? I need to transfer ~18GB from one laptop to another and I don't have any physical mediums to do that with
[19:42] <esde> http://www.tecmint.com/rsync-local-remote-file-synchronization-commands/ Nikesh
[19:42] <bekks> Nikesh: rsync -av /source/folder/ user@remotehost:/target/folder/
[19:42] <bekks> Nikesh: No need for setting up anything.
[19:42] <yecril71pl> How can I find more information why a VPN connection has failed?
[19:42] <esde> logs
[19:43] <Nikesh> bekks: What are the values for user and remote? Is user the local username and remote the LAN IP?
[19:43] <esde> see the link i provided above
[19:43] <Nikesh> esde: Ah OK, missed that
[19:43] <bekks> Nikesh: user is the remote user name, and remotehost is eithet the IP of the remote host or the name of the remote host (depending on your DNS resolution).
[19:48] <Nikesh> bekks: Ah OK. And is /target/folder local to the user? e.g. /target/foler -> /home/user/target/folder ?
[19:48] <snapfractalpop> rory-: yikes.. just did some tests that scare me
[19:49] <snapfractalpop> with the autoconnect feature, it leaks
[19:49] <bekks> Nikesh: Nope, /target/folder is /target/folder, not /home/user/target/folder
[19:53] <snapfractalpop> rory-: looks like I'll be needing ufw after all.
[19:54] <jmadero> anyone using devilspie that can tell me what's wrong with this syntax: http://pastebin.com/kEE01J8m
[19:55] <snapfractalpop> rory-: I made a simple bash script to curl robots.txt on a server, and when I checked the logs, it turns out that there is a few seconds where it is getting requests from my actual IP
[19:55] <snapfractalpop> rory-: I wish NetworkManager was smart enough to not allow that to happen
[19:55] <Nikesh> bekks: Ah OK. And how do I open the port/ssh connection?
[19:57] <akik> Nikesh: it's the option -e ssh
[20:00] <trijntje> I'm trying to use ubuntu server iso with grml rescue boot, but I only get the memtest option in the grub menu. What am I doing wrong?
[20:01] <lyle> trimjntje , Could you please elaborate your problem
[20:01] <MonkeyDust> trijntje  i used grml rescue too, not any iso can be used for it
[20:02] <MonkeyDust> trijntje  a program or module has to be included in the iso, i forget what it was
[20:02] <bekks> Nikesh: -e ssh (which is the default, so you dont need to specify it).
[20:03] <trijntje> hmm, thats too bad. I like grml because its an easy way to carry a bunch of iso's around on usb without having to 'write' a different iso to it for every OS
[20:03] <Nikesh> bekks akik So on the receiving machine I do rsync -e ssh?
[20:03] <MonkeyDust> trijntje  you do mean, put the iso in /boot/grml/ ?
[20:04] <trijntje> MonkeyDust: yes
[20:04] <Nikesh> bekks: akik To clarify I mean, I'm getting a 'Connection refused' error
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> trijntje  ok, we're talking about the same thing... now looking up what it was
[20:04] <bekks> Nikesh: No. On the sending machine, you run: rsync -av /source/folder/ remoteuser@remotehost:/target/folder/ and on the receiving host you enable ssh before.
[20:04] <akik> bekks: you don't have to do anything on the receiving side, just ensure sshd is serving and you have rsync installed on the receiving server
[20:04] <n-st> hi, i've got 1 GiB of pkgcache.bin.* files in /var/cache/apt. is that intentional?
[20:05] <bekks> akik: I know that :)
[20:05] <akik> oh sorry, nikesh
[20:05] <lyle> hey all
[20:05] <akik> Nikesh: so next task is to open the sshd port
[20:05] <Nikesh> akik: bekks OK. SO I am getting a 'connection refused' error. Do I simply run sshd?
[20:05] <Nikesh> akik: In my router?
[20:06] <akik> Nikesh: on the receiving server of course
[20:06] <akik> Nikesh: just to double check, is the receiving server running sshd and have your tried logging in to it?
[20:07] <Nikesh> akik: OK, I found it's not running sshd. I'm installing openssh-server now
[20:08] <akik> Nikesh: also make sure rsync is installed there
[20:08] <Nikesh> akik: Yay, it looks like it's working!
[20:08] <akik> good and good night!
[20:09] <Kion> Nikesh: I would do a netstat -tvnlp to see if sshd is listening first. Probbably they already told you to check it this way but I just got here
[20:10] <Nikesh> Kion: On the receiving machine? No, I wasn't told that yet. The sending machine is showing some output from rsync and I can see that there are new files on the receiving end, so it looks like it's going well
[20:11] <Kion> Nikesh: on the server machine, that command will print a list of all the listening programs, just see if you can find sshd there
[20:12] <Nikesh> Kion: OK, yeah, I see sshd there. Thanks :)
[20:12] <Kion> Nikesh: sorry a list of all the programs listening and in which port they are, it is also good to check that once in a while to make sure there are no programs waiting for connections that you do not want
[20:13] <Kion> Nikesh: That means that sshd is listening and waiting for connections, now check your firewall rules, and lastly your configuration for authentificating on the server
[20:15] <Nikesh> OK so next issue to investigate is.. what is causing my CPU so much activity? In the 'System Monitor' (GNOME) I see a constant activity of 15-25% on all four cores, even when all I have open is a terminal and the 'System Monitor' itself
[20:15] <Nikesh> But when I click the Processes tab and sort by CPU, the top listed process is the 'System Monitor' with only 6% usage
[20:15] <trijntje> Nikesh: close system monitor ;)
[20:16] <Nikesh> trijntje: Is there another way to check CPU usage that doesn't skew the results so heavily, then?
[20:16] <trijntje> Top in the terminal
[20:17] <Nikesh> Though in contrast with other machines 'System Monitor' generally shows just 0-3% usage across the cores
[20:17] <OerHeks> htop is my favorite
[20:17] <Delta706> apart from Squid, is there an easy-to-configure web proxy that supports modifying the data being passed through?
[20:17] <OerHeks> is that 3% bad ?
[20:18] <Kion> Nikesh: for CPU usage type w on your terminal
[20:18] <Kion> Nikesh: that is a very light weight way of watching your CPU usage
[20:19] <Nikesh> OerHeks: No, but seeing 15-25% usage when all I have open is a terminal and the GNOME System Monitor concerned me, i.e. what was causing such relatively heavy usage?
[20:20] <trijntje> Could be the CPU taking over for the video card, drawing stuff. Do you have the latest graphics drivers?
[20:20] <Nikesh> trijntje: I'm not sure!
[20:20] <Nikesh> trijntje: This is a fresh 14.04 install
[20:21] <zerowaitstate> Nikesh: try htop instead.
[20:22] <zerowaitstate> Nikesh: and run htop under sudo, so you see everything you need to
[20:22] <OerHeks> !info htop
[20:22] <Nikesh> trijntje: It seems like something is up with my touchpad drivers, too, because occasionally the mouse will move all around the screen on its own clicking things
[20:22] <Nikesh> zerowaitstate OerHeks Ah thanks!
[20:23] <honko> Hello! How do I use CAPS LOCK as ESC in Ubuntu?
[20:24] <Nikesh> So how do I begin looking into my touchpad and graphics drivers?
[20:24] <OerHeks> honko, i would switch them caps<>esc, like here, or see 2nd answer with dconf http://askubuntu.com/questions/363346/how-to-permanently-switch-caps-lock-and-esc
[20:24] <zerowaitstate> Delta706: take a look at varnish
[20:25] <zerowaitstate> Delta706: although varnish is actually a reverse proxy
[20:26] <honko> OerHeks: i prefer to have ESC on both keys
[20:27] <OerHeks> honko, copy the esc code with dconf i guess
[20:27] <honko> k... unbelievable, how much harder it is to configure unity compared to gnome.
[20:28] <honko> so what does it mean to "copy esc code with dconf"?
[20:28] <k1l_> honko: that task is not different on unity than on gnome-shell since both share the same base
[20:29] <Delta706> varnish seems to be a proxy but I cannot find anything on the wikipedia page to say it can modify data
[20:30] <honko> k1l_: in gnome (as it comes with mint) there is a checkbox in the system menu where you can simply say "use caps lock as an additional escape key"
[20:30] <Nikesh> /usr/bin/X and firefox up to 50% CPU usage! Could this indicate needing to update graphics card drivers?
[20:30] <honko> k1l_: also i think in debian it is that way.
[20:30] <k1l_> honko: what comes with mint is either mate or cinnamon. and if you name the program that they use, you can use the same on ubuntu
[20:31] <honko> honko: because i have a debian laptop and a mint desktop and i set it like that on both without editing config files.
[20:31] <honko> k1l_: dont know what program. its just under the main menu "keyboard settings".
[20:31] <honko> so how do i do it with dconf?
[20:32] <honko> is it a good idea to install these dconf-tools?
[20:33] <OerHeks> As you request a specific key setting, it is usable.
[20:34] <honko> maybe gnome-tweak-tool is better?
[20:35] <honko> im confused as to what gnome has to do with unity
[20:35] <k1l_> honko: unity is a shell for gnome3. like gnome-shell is a shell for gnome3-
[20:35] <TJ-> honko: "apt-cache depends unity" [20:36] <k1l_> honko: cinnamon (the mint thingy) is a shell for gnome3 too.
[20:37] <k1l_> honko: http://askubuntu.com/questions/363346/how-to-permanently-switch-caps-lock-and-esc
[20:37] <honko> so i think the gnome-tweak-tool is the way to go?
[20:37] <honko> honko: i dont want to switch them
[20:38] <honko> k1l_: ^
[20:38] <honko> i just want to use caps lock as an additional escape key.
[20:38] <k1l_> honko: did you read the answer before saying it doesnt help you?
[20:39] <EriC^^> honko: use xmodmap -e "keycode <caps lock code>=Escape"
[20:39] <honko> EriC^^: would that work system wide or just in the terminal?
[20:39] <honko> EriC^^: how would i make that work on boot?
[20:39] <honko> EriC^^: i think thats not what i need.
[20:39] <EriC^^> system-wide
[20:40] <EriC^^> what do you need?
[20:40] <honko> EriC^^: where would you put that line?
[20:40] <EriC^^> in startup apps
[20:41] <honko> whats that?
[20:41] <EriC^^> open the dash > startup
[20:41] <OerHeks> it is all there honko. http://askubuntu.com/a/365628 from the same page .. keycode and all ..
[20:41] <OerHeks> it is a rich helppage
[20:42] <honko> EriC^^: and paste it just as you typed it?
[20:42] <EriC^^> open a terminal, type xev, then press caps lock and get it's keycode
[20:42] <honko> can i try it in the terminal first to see if it works?
[20:42] <EriC^^> yeah
[20:43] <honko> EriC^^: that gives me: ^[
[20:43] <Hanumaan> Str@ng3r
[20:44] <EriC^^> honko: what does?
[20:45] <ash_work> oops! I did ^- accidentally and shrank the terminal
[20:45] <ash_work> how do you revert?
[20:45] <honko> EriC^^: hmm.. or maybe it gives me keycode 9?
[20:45] <k1l_> ash_work: press ctrl+c ?
[20:45] <ash_work> k1l_: nope
[20:45] <ash_work> the terminal is literally smaller
[20:46] <ash_work> like the whole thing
[20:46] <ash_work> as if someone took the corner and dragged it smaller and all the aspect ratio was maintained
[20:46] <honko> i think i will install the gome-tweak-tool
[20:46] <OerHeks> ash_work,  alt + mousewheel
[20:46] <EriC^^> honko: ok
[20:47] <ash_work> DerHeks that didn't work
[20:47] <ash_work> DerHeks, I can't auto complete your name
[20:47] <ash_work> :: shrug ::
[20:47] <honko> gnome-tweak-tool looks completely broken
[20:47] <honko> maybe nobody ever started it under unity?
[20:48] <k1l_> ash_work: its a O not a D :)
[20:48] <ash_work> OH
[20:48] <EriC^^> honko: the keycode is 66 here
[20:48] <EriC^^> honko: try xmodmap -e "keycode 66=Escape"
[20:48] <ash_work> k1l_: still doesn't work 0erHeks
[20:48] <honko> EriC^^: well, gnome-tweak-tool seems to have done the job.
[20:49] <k1l_> honko: iirc it doesnt work properly on unity. but you could already be done with all that if you would have looked 30sec. on the page i linked.
[20:49] <ash_work> OH
[20:49] <ash_work> it's an O - oscar
[20:49] <ash_work> I thought you were saying zero
[20:49] <k1l_> ash_work: you are still mixing O and 0 (one is a letter, one is number)
[20:49] <k1l_> :)
[20:49] <ash_work> figured it ouy
[20:49] <ash_work> out*
[20:49] <ash_work> ctrl+shift+plus
[20:49] <ash_work> (as opposed to shrinking which was just ctrl+minus
[20:50] <honko> is it possible to resize / while its mounted?
[20:50] <ash_work> thanks though
[20:50] <honko> gparted seems to not let me.
[20:50] <k1l_> honko: no.
[20:51] <honko> k1l_: so i need to boot from an usb stick and then resize it?
[20:51] <k1l_> honko: yes
[20:51] <honko> ok
[20:56] <Nikesh> How can I 1) find the brand/model of my touchpad and 2) investigate if it needs new drivers? I'm trying to resolve an issue where on occasion the mouse cursor moves around the screen clicking things on its own until I disable the touchpad with FN+F7
[21:01] <OerHeks> Nikesh, lspci or lsusb or lscpu or lshw are hardware identify tools
[21:02] <OerHeks> i think the 1st one,lspci
[21:03] <OerHeks> with the 8 digit hexcode 1234:abcd you can search for more details
[21:06] <Nikesh> OerHeks: Hm.. I don't see anything that mentions a touchpad in that output
[21:06] <dioo> Trying to debug lxterminal (cursor is twice as big as usual only in certain applications) and I can't get gdb to behave.
[21:06] <dioo> I apt-get installed the *-dbg packages and source, but gdb does that weird "up-and-down" dance in the source and then exits.
[21:06] <DammitJim> how do I export an apt key?
[21:07] <DammitJim> to a file?sudo apt-key export 0E27C0A6 > key.gpg
[21:07] <DammitJim> it gives me bash key.gpg permission denied
[21:08] <k1l_> DammitJim: what folder are you on? do you have permissions there?
[21:08] <DammitJim> k1l_, sorry
[21:08] <DammitJim> I forgot about the problem when doing this with sudo
[21:08] <DammitJim> thanks! I think I got it
[21:20] <choice> When you guys download a program, where do you put it? Do you create a directory like /home/yourusername/software/ or something?
[21:20] <k1l_> choice: yes, or put it into /opt
[21:21] <choice> k1l_: interesting. never heard about /opt
[21:21] <choice> another idea would be to just have /home/myuser/desktop/mystuff/
[21:21] <choice> and have everything there.
[21:21] <k1l_> choice: depends on the programs and if its system wide or not
[21:22] <choice> k1l_: in this case, its firefox
[21:22] <k1l_> well firefox is in the repos. i would not mind installing a extra one
[21:22] <choice> isnt the one from mozilla.org newer?
[21:22] <k1l_> choice: no
[21:22] <choice> you would do apt-get install firefox?
[21:22] <choice> or use that appstore thing from ubuntu?
[21:23] <k1l_> the one on the official repos get the same updates
[21:23] <OerHeks> firefix is already there
[21:23] <OerHeks> or fox :-D
[21:23] <k1l_> choice: your choice if cli or gui.
[21:23] <choice> that appstore thingy is a gui for apt-get?
[21:23] <k1l_> choice: it should be the first choice to see if the program is in the official ubuntu repos.
[21:24] <k1l_> choice: yes
[21:24] <OerHeks> first thing i do is update & install synaptic
[21:26] <choice> ok, installing via that ubunt software center.
[21:26] <choice> meanwhile im downloading the latest mint with mate. is it save to just install it alongside ubuntu?
[21:27] <OerHeks> That would be a mint-support question
[21:27] <k1l_> what do you mean with "safe"?
[21:27] <choice> k1l_: good question. i wonder if ubuntu will still work when i install mint in a second partition.
[21:27] <k1l_> should do.
[21:27] <OerHeks> Backup your data :-)
[21:27] <choice> also i want to install mint with full disk (or full partition) encryption. not sure how that will impact ubuntu.
[21:28] <choice> OerHeks: new laptop, no data :)
[21:28] <mcphail> choice: it will work, but a tiny kitten will cry
[21:29] <choice> in my experience, encrypting the root partition while having multiple OSes on the machine creates headaches sometimes.
[21:29] <choice> but i did not do it the last year or two. so maybe things got better meanwhile.
[21:29] <OerHeks> with your new laptop?
[21:29] <choice> OerHeks: yes
[21:29] <choice> OerHeks: not sure what your question was refering to though :)
[21:30] <choice> when i shrink the ubuntu / partition, how much space should i give it? is 10gig enough?
[21:30] <choice> this machine has a whooping 256gig ssd. amazing :)
[21:31] <k1l_> 10gb is quite short for a full desktop. it can work but depends on how much stuff you install on / and if you have a seperate /home
[21:31] <choice> k1l_: i never use /home/. i have all my stuff in its own partition.
[21:32] <choice> guess i will give / 30gb. why not. i have it :)
[21:32] <k1l_> choice: you can have /home as a seperate partition
[21:32] <choice> k1l_: yeah, but i dont like programs to fiddle in "my" partition.
[21:32] <choice> k1l_: and many applications do stuff in /home/
[21:32] <choice> k1l_: so i just stay away from /home/ completely.
[21:33] <k1l_> that sounds really strange
[21:33] <choice> k1l_: i dont want stuff to appear in "my" directory without me putting it there.
[21:33] <k1l_> its a linux standard that program put the user configs into the /home folder.
[21:33] <choice> k1l_: yes. but when i think about "my stuff" i mean my letters, my photos etc.
[21:34] <choice> k1l_: i only want *my* files in *my* directory. not config files some application puts there.
[21:34] <bekks> choice: You have to live with the fact that programs will store its user-config in the user home, too.
[21:35] <choice> bekks: they can store as much shit as they want. i just dont want to have anything to do with it.
[21:35] <TJ-> choice: programs will write  per-user configuration and documents to $HOME/ by default
[21:35] <choice> find /home/myuser/ | wc   ------>   5908 files :)
[21:35] <bekks> choice: you dont have anything to do with it.
[21:35] <choice> 5908 files i have absolutely nothing to do with it.
[21:36] <choice> i dont want them among *my* data.
[21:36] <TJ-> choice: I simply have a directory $HOME/Documents and keep all my own creating documents in it
[21:36] <choice> so i use a partition for my stuff and stay away from /home/.
[21:36] <choice> TJ-: yes, that might be a solution too.
[21:36] <miguelnegrao> hi
[21:37] <TJ-> choice: " mount /dev/mapper/VG-MyDocs /home/tj/Documents"
[21:37] <choice> TJ-: sure. thats possible.
[21:37] <miguelnegrao> Can someone tell me what permissions should I set to a user folder in /home ?
[21:37] <choice> TJ-: i never really saw the benefit of volume groups by the way.
[21:37] <MonkeyDust> choice  the hidden .config folder is placed automatically in /home and some programs go look there
[21:37] <miguelnegrao> Im trying to restore from backup but only have backup of contents of /home/miguel so neet to create /home/miguel myself.
[21:40] <k1l_> miguelnegrao: excpet for .ssh everything could be 755
[21:40] <Bashing-om> miguelnegrao: sysop@1404mini:~$ ls -al /home >> drwxr-xr-x 29 sysop sysop  4096 Aug 24 14:48 sysop .
[21:40] <miguelnegrao> Bashing-om: so sysop owns sysop ?
[21:41] <miguelnegrao> the directory
[21:41] <TJ-> choice: LVM allows easy migration, snapshots, extend/reduce, temporary file-systems, RAID, and more
[21:42] <TJ-> one of LVMs biggest benefits is there is no need to pre-allocate space that may be wasted, file-systems can be extended on-demand
[21:44] <Bashing-om> miguelnegrao: 'sysop' is my username on the system. so yes 'sysop' owns the directory .
[21:46] <choice> MonkeyDust: another reason to stay away from it.
[21:47] <Guest76664> i need antivirus for ubuntu
[21:47] <MonkeyDust> !av | Guest76664
[21:47] <choice> TJ-: i only get the last benefit you mentioned. but i can also rather quickly resize with gparted.
[21:47] <k1l_> choice: honestly, you are making drama where its no need to.
[21:47] <k1l_> Guest76664: to scan a windows partition?
[21:47] <choice> k1l_: drama?
[21:48] <wlu5tar> Hi. When will the next LTS release of Ubuntu come out?
[21:48] <MonkeyDust> wlu5tar  april 2016
[21:48] <miguelnegrao> Bashing-om: thanks, got it.
[21:48] <Bashing-om> miguelnegrao: Great ! :)
[21:49] <k1l_> choice: the "omg /home !!!11111" thingy. thousands of user use /home like its meant to be (or do we have millions of linux users? :) ) i dont get why you dont want to.
[21:49] <wlu5tar> MokeyDust: Okay.
[21:49] <Guest76664> clamav is good
[21:50] <MonkeyDust> choice  have to admit, i havent followed... what's wrong with /home ?
[21:50] <TJ-> choice: repartitioning is nowhere near as flexible as LVM. You can't join 2 disjoint partitions into one volume, but with LVM you can add any block devices as physical volumes to a Volume Group, no matter where they are
[21:50] <wlu5tar> Are there any major differences in Ubuntu 14.04.03 as compared to Ubuntu 14.04.02?
[21:51] <choice> k1l_: i just dont use /home/. no drama.
[21:51] <choice> MonkeyDust: nothing. i dont use it.
[21:51] <MonkeyDust> wlu5tar  no, exciting new wallpapers, maybe
[21:51] <k1l_> wlu5tar: think of it as a servicepack like windows calls it.
[21:51] <k1l_> wlu5tar: and it ships a new kernel and xorg (the ubuntu 15.04 backports one) on a new install.
[21:51] <TJ-> wlu5tar: the release notes will show anything dramatic. Mainly the point release is publishing an updated installer  image
[21:51] <MonkeyDust> choice  how can you 'not use' /home ?
[21:52] <choice> MonkeyDust: i just never put any files into it.
[21:52] <MonkeyDust> choice  fair enoughn but /home is not for personal files only
[21:52] <dandan> http://imgur.com/lEr3ExP I'm having this after few second at splash screen there is any way i can fix it ?
[21:52] <choice> MonkeyDust: true. there are over 5000 files in there right now. 5000 files i dont want to think about :)
[21:53] <wlu5tar> I had several problems with Ubuntu 14.04.02 so I was wondering whether the latest relase might've fixed those.
[21:53] <TJ-> dandan: that looks like the startup 'Plymouth' splash-screen. Pressing Esc should usually show a terminal with progress messages
[21:53] <k1l_> wlu5tar: depending on the issues, but if its hardware issues the new kernel might help
[21:53] <OerHeks> choice, good choice, then don use a desktop environment.
[21:54] <OerHeks> don't *
[21:54] <MonkeyDust> choice  you mean the files that make your computer run
[21:54] <k1l_> OerHeks: even cli programs like irssi put the stuff into ~ :)
[21:54] <choice> OerHeks: seem like the DE works without me thinking about those 5k files in /home/.
[21:54] <wlu5tar> What's the Kernel's version in the latest release?
[21:54] <k1l_> wlu5tar: 3.19 in 15.04 and 14.04.3
[21:55] <TJ-> OerHeks: Why not? The point is very valid. Backing up/version control of a separate hierarchy is much easier if you don't have to cope with hundreds/thousands of $HOME/.XXXX files/directories
[21:55] <alin_> hi
[21:55] <choice> is making a bootable usb stick from an iso file just "dd if=the.iso of=/dev/sdb"?
[21:55] <choice> and is dd better then cat?
[21:55] <TJ-> dot-files have gone crazy; they should all be put in one sub-dir of $HOME, e.g. $HOME/.config/
[21:55] <k1l_> choice: works for ubuntu images since they are hybrid images
[21:55] <Scott606> someone in here helped me out a couple hours ago with my video card .. and sent me a link to download windows 7 to use in virtual box .. well its done installing and i made the bootable usb and it boots up but says there are drivers missing and wont let me install..
[21:56] <TJ-> choice: if you use blocksize with dd it'll be faster. E.g. "bs=100M"
[21:56] <wlu5tar> By the way, when using Ubuntu, are you able to play 1080p videos in Firefox?
[21:56] <MonkeyDust> choice  delet .themes, .gnome and .gnome2 from your /home, see what happens    <-- in a vm or so
[21:56] <choice> TJ-: ok
[21:56] <Guest76664> how to install clamav-0.98.7.tar.gz for ubuntu
[21:56] <wlu5tar> On youtube, I mean.
[21:56] <EriC^^> choice: yeah, sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync
[21:56] <choice> MonkeyDust: as i said, i dont touch /home/.
[21:56] <k1l_> Guest76664: why a manual install?
[21:56] <choice> EriC^^: "sudo" lol.
[21:56] <choice> so 4M or 100M?
[21:56] <Guest76664> how to install
[21:57] <k1l_> Guest76664: use the package management. like apt-get or the softwarecenter
[21:57] <TJ-> choice: I sometimes give it up to 1GB if it's a big transer
[21:57] <choice> TJ-: it's 1.6 gig
[21:57] <choice> linux mint
[21:57] <EriC^^> choice: yeah, sudo is required obviously
[21:57] <TJ-> choice:  'bs' controls how much data is buffered in memory and written sequentially... larger 'bs' means fewer I/O operations
[21:58] <MonkeyDust> choice  you're using mint?
[21:58] <teward> choice: Linux Mint isn't Ubuntu, by the way... (if you're on Mint we can't help you)
[21:58] <medo> hi
[21:58] <OerHeks> wlu5tar, the limit is standard 720p AFAIK, but this tutor might be a help http://www.linuxveda.com/2015/06/29/get-1080p-youtubes-html5-player-firefox-linux/
[21:58] <TJ-> teward: the image being written is Mint
[21:58] <teward> TJ-: ah, OK
[21:59] <choice> MonkeyDust: im using ubuntu, mint, debian in different versions.
[21:59] <choice> teward: right now im making the mint stick to resize the / partition of my ubuntu laptop.
[21:59] <choice> the guys in #debian say cp is better then dd.
[22:00] <choice> cp started...
[22:00] <choice> exactly at 00:00 ... lets see how long it takes...
[22:00] <TJ-> not better at all, it just tries to decide on the bs itself
[22:00] <choice> done!
[22:00] <choice> that was quick.
[22:01] <choice> syncing...
[22:01] <TJ-> choice: no... it's cached in memory... now do "sync"
[22:01] <choice> yeah
[22:01] <choice> looks like cp decided on a big bs :)
[22:04] <justicefries> are there extras yet for the 4.1.6 kernel? trying to get aufs for Docker, but maybe I should switch to overlayfs
[22:04] <jjavaholic> just so i can clarify to install ubuntu along side windows 8.0 machine with an i7 I have to download AMD64.iso? for vivid?
[22:04] <TJ-> justicefries: in the kernel team PPA, yes I think so
[22:05] <MonkeyDust> justicefries  try #ubuntu-kernel
[22:05] <justicefries> thanks.
[22:05] <TJ-> jjavaholic: correct
[22:09] <jstvz> Hi all, I'm having mouse jumps to particular points on either screen on 15.04 with a dual monitor setup. Haven't been able to google this effectively, any tips on how to troubleshoot it?
[22:10] <buitre> someone. how to install an external pci sound card,my sistem is voyager x debian. i plug the sound card but i didn't see or the how, may anybody tell me something about it? tanks
[22:11] <k1l_> buitre: better ask the voyager or debian support on that specific issue
[22:11] <jstvz> Oh, and the mouse(s) were connected via USB and bluetooth.
[22:12] <buitre> why
[22:12] <k1l_> buitre: because we dont know what they changed. its not ubuntu
[22:12] <MonkeyDust> buitre  what's the outcome of   cat /etc/issue
[22:13] <buitre> what is that monk
[22:13] <MonkeyDust> buitre  in a terminal, type   cat /etc/issue
[22:14] <buitre> and then what ?
[22:15] <spine55> has anyone had any issues with empathy and gtalk accounts using applicatoin specific passwords?
[22:15] <MonkeyDust> buitre  paste the outcome here
[22:15] <spine55> using Ubuntu 15.04
[22:15] <alin_> hey
[22:20] <choice> these days, is there no more limit on how many primary paritions you can have?
[22:20] <MonkeyDust> choice  4
[22:21] <k1l_> choice: depends on the partitiontable
[22:21] <choice> MonkeyDust: oh, thats not much
[22:21] <k1l_> dos is still 4 primary
[22:21] <choice> k1l_: what does that mean?
[22:21] <k1l_> gpt is somewhat a lot higher
[22:21] <choice> how do i know what the drive has?
[22:22] <k1l_> parted -l tells you
[22:22] <choice> let me check...
[22:22] <TJ-> GPT, by default, provides for 128 partitions
[22:23] <zerowaitstate> MBR is just a really old partition table type. However, you can create extended partitions to get past the limit of 4
[22:23] <TJ-> choice: and, can you please stop cross-posting the same question at the same time to #debian and #ubuntu, it makes it very difficult to follow/help
[22:24] <k1l_> yeah, might better ask in ##linux when he cant decide
[22:25] <mariano> I'm having trouble installing my bluetooth keyboard on xubuntu 15.04. I had it working on xubuntu 14.04 but the tutorial I followed no longer works.
[22:25] <choice> ok, i posted the answer to the partition table type in #debian.
[22:25] <choice> check there, if you like.
[22:26] <choice> also parted -l seems to confirm what i said in the other channel.
[22:26] <buitre> thanks anyway,..i didnt see how windows users migrate to freware UBUNTU,LINUX OR DEBIAN IF IT IS HARD TO DO, spending lot of time whit drivers,or intalling software. no antivirus, no drivers,just free.
[22:26] <cristi1313> hello i have a problem can anyone help me ?
[22:27] <k1l_> cristi1313: describe that issue and we will see
[22:31] <cristi1313> ok.. so i fresh installed xubuntu 15.4(tried to contact xubuntu irc but no one is there) and after some ppa adding and some apt-get update apt-get upgrade i have no sound and when i  enter pulseaudio in terminal i get E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
[22:31] <cristi1313> E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. but the strange thing  is that when i try to play an youtube video or downloaded movie it gets delayed like 10 seconds and then it starts playing with no sound. can anyone help me please, i am new to linux thanks
[22:31] <OerHeks> 'adding some ppa' .. what ppa exactly?
[22:32] <k1l_> cristi1313: please show a "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" in a pastebin
[22:32] <cristi1313> wait a minute to check
[22:33] <cristi1313> i have ppa from smplayer , wine , mozilla, vlc, gnome3team and numix, i will k1l_ in a second
[22:34] <cristi1313> http://pastebin.com/zH0065nZ
[22:35] <k1l_> cristi1313: ubuntu-audio-dev-ubuntu-pulse-testing-vivid.list
[22:35] <k1l_> that sounds like its made for breaking sound
[22:35] <k1l_> !ppa-purge | cristi1313
[22:36] <cristi1313> i installed it after i had sound break... I thought that it will help
[22:37] <k1l_> ubuntu-audio-dev-ubuntu-pulse-testing-vivid.list  got a lot of pulse and other stuff in it too.
[22:38] <k1l_> cristi1313: so since you had proper sound and it broke after you added the 3rd party ppas, i would consider using ppa-purge and see what ppa breaks it
[22:39] <cristi1313> ok i will try
[22:39] <cristi1313> thx
[22:43] <arooni-mobile>  hey folks;  i think i installed some kind of old competing software to unity/lightdm and now my xchat window looks all funky like it was from the early 90s... i have ubuntu 14.04lts 64bit installation.  how can i get it back to the way it was (sleek more modern).  i can provide a screenshot if necessary
[22:46] <mariano> has bluez-hcidump been taken out of ubuntu 15.04?
[23:03] <michel> does anyone know which environment ubuntu-mate is using? lightdm, gdm or something else?
[23:04] <cristi1313> i still have no audio in my 15.4xubuntu
[23:04] <cristi1313> tried to remove ppa
[23:04] <cristi1313> not working
[23:04] <cristi1313> anyone can help?
[23:06] <xangua> michel: mate is a fork of Gnome 2
[23:07] <michel> xangua, so it should be gdm right?
[23:08] <OerHeks> cristi1313, there is a guide for audio issues, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio
[23:08] <xangua> doesn't really matter what dm you use michel
[23:10] <michel> another question might be off-topic (sorry for that) how can i hide the user joind / user left messages in hexchat
[23:10] <michel> xangua, i need to know it because i need to run its daemon manually
[23:11] <RevertToType> I'm having like no joy trying to get a ubuntu minimal install to connect to wifi
[23:12] <EriC^^> michel: type dpkg -l | awk '$2 ~ /dm$/'
[23:13] <michel> EriC^^, shows noothing
[23:13] <EriC^^> try service --status-all
[23:15] <OerHeks> "ii  lightdm                                              1.14.2-0ubuntu1                            amd64        Display Manager"
[23:15] <OerHeks> sure it gave some output.
[23:16] <TJ-> EriC^^: you can just do "dpkg -l '*dm'   "
[23:16] <michel> EriC^^, thanks that showed what i need to know
[23:17] <RevertToType> also setting grub command line to tty12 doesn't hide all the linux messages on boot like it's supposed to
[23:17] <TJ-> RevertToType: because we stop at tty7 :)
[23:18] <RevertToType> crap dumb me, forgot console= before hand (that's the point, no more messages)
[23:18] <EriC^^> michel: np
[23:18] <squinty> michel,  if using hex or xchat   right click on channel button -> settings -> hide/join
[23:19] <michel> squinty, thanks
[23:20] <RevertToType> now to figure out how to get wifi working, dont know why it's really not feeling this
[23:21] <michel> squinty, much better XD
[23:21] <squinty> michel,  :-)
[23:23] <squinty> RevertToType,  might want to check out the following.. gives methods for identifying wireless cards and if applicable, tells how to install broadcom drivers    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[23:30] <michel> can i have 2 DEs opened at the same time on different terminals?
[23:30] <michel> F7 for one and F3 for another?
[23:34] <neopsyche> hi all
[23:34] <bennypr0fane> Hello, it seems I can't boot into my Bios anymore - whenever I reboot, grub comes right up, there is no bootsplash from the pc manufacturer with startup options like boot menu etc.
[23:34] <neopsyche> Just wondering anyone know how to install OPENGL 3.2 for ubuntu 14.04
[23:34] <neopsyche> if I do dist-upgrade it will also push it to 14.10?
[23:35] <bennypr0fane> I've never seen this behavior before, it's like Bios has disappeared. How can I get it back?
[23:36] <squinty> neopsyche,  no
[23:36] <Nikesh_> My power went out and subsequently my router turned off in the middle of an 18GB rsync transfer :( Is there someway to continue where it left off?
[23:36] <neopsyche> aok thanks squinty
[23:36] <RevertToType> @ squinty ; so i have things kinda half working but i can't seem to connect to anything, i can scan via iw, ifup/down work fine, put the appropriate mess in my wpa...conf file but no dice it seems
[23:36] <RevertToType> i've looked through like 20 tutorials online
[23:37] <RevertToType> if i throw ifup wlan0 i just get a neverending dhcpdiscover
[23:37] <aeden__d> neopsyche, are you already using openGl? try  glxinfo | grep version
[23:37] <squinty> RevertToType,  sorry never played with that particular angle before.  hopefully someone else will be able to chime in
[23:38] <neopsyche> program throws 'need 3.2' I have 3.0 when checking grep
[23:38] <RevertToType> whoever makes a cli closer to automatic network management app is gonna be a solid champion (and someone who streamlines adding new resolutions/modes/lines in xorg)
[23:42] <tgm4883> RevertToType: automatic network management app?
[23:43] <RevertToType> something like that would be nice
[23:44] <RevertToType> i'm like on my 20th tutorial on how to connect to a network via command line and not a single one has worked
[23:48] <radiel892> i have strange issue where i can startx from single user fine and the xorg log says the nvidia driver is loaded, but when i boot the system normally it bounces back to login screen after selecting user (and xorg log says the nvidia driver is not loading)
[23:51] <yugdrix> hi guys
[23:53] <lasindi> Hi all, I'm trying to connect my ubuntu desktop to my university's network, which appears to be IPv6 only. It appears to work under Windows 7 fine, but Ubuntu takes a long time to configure, and then says I'm "connected" but I can't ping google.com. Any ideas?
