[11:34] <BvL> ash_m what’s the issue your having? The last time I used Apache was 6 years ago, but I may be able to point you in the right direction.
[11:35] <BvL> I use nginx now, I found it to be much faster and simpler to setup
[11:35] <ash_m> BvL: I just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.x (forgot full vers number) and now my site points to /var/www/ instead of /home/web/[site]/public_html
[11:35] <ash_m> BvL: I see
[11:37] <ash_m> there's a 000-default.conf file... perhaps mv to a backup would rectify things... I already have sites-enabled set up
[11:38] <ash_m> nope
[11:39] <BvL> ash_m are you running multiple websites?
[11:39] <ash_m> BvL: not at the moment, but that should be a possibility
[11:39] <ash_m> BvL: I believe the why I had it set up in my previous install was to accomodate that
[11:41] <BvL> ok, that’s a bit harder to setup in Apache, but if i remember correctly you need to edit the following file "/etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf"
[11:41] <ash_m> BvL: what kind of change would I make?
[11:42] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:43] <ash_m> BvL: ah, I see a <Directory> element with the wrong path
[11:43] <napterk_> Moin, wollt mal fragen, wenn ich bei "demicode" für den Arbeitsspeicher einen speed von 800 Mhz bekomme, aber ein 1026mhz verbaut sind.Muss ich das dann im Bios ändern?
[11:44] <BvL> ash_m i dont remember what changes you need to make in order to run multiple web-sites, but you should see something similar to "<Directory "/var/www">" and change the path to whatever you want
[11:44] <kokut> Hello, how do you move unity's launcher to the bottom of the screen?
[11:44] <k1l> napterk_: hier ist der englische kanal :)
[11:44] <ash_m> BvL: yeah.. but
[11:44] <MonkeyDust> kokut  you can't
[11:44] <ash_m> BvL: the site's path configuation is in another file... a vhost-like file
[11:44] <k1l> napterk_: and yes, that deoends on the bios settings and the slowest ram build in.
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> kokut  lxde and xfce have a launcher on the bottom
[11:45] <kokut> so how do i do it
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> kokut  and cairo-dock (Mac OS-like)
[11:46] <MonkeyDust> kokut  install other DE, logout, switch, login
[11:47] <ash_m> BvL: it says  If# your system is serving content from a sub-directory in /srv you must allow # access here, or in any related virtual host.
[11:47] <napterk_> k1l, ups sorry mixed that up. And, well, I do have only 1026mhz ram builds installed. Thought this would be recognized
[11:47] <ash_m> BvL: so I guess I have to enable /home/web
[11:47] <lotuspsychje> !info docky | kokut this dock can run on bottom
[11:47] <kokut> MonkeyDust: does it use more resources than unity's launcher?
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> kokut  less
[11:50] <kokut> nice, brb gonna relog
[11:51] <ash_m> I'm not sure what to put here for a virtual host configuration
[11:54] <BvL> ash_m does the following directory exist? "/etc/apache2/sites-enabled"
[11:54] <ash_m> BvL: yes
[11:54] <kokut> MonkeyDust: alt tab is not working
[11:55] <BvL> ash_m 000-default.conf should belong there
[11:55] <ash_m> BvL: it's there
[11:55] <ash_m> BvL: I moved it to see if that would help
[11:55] <vlt> Hello. On my Ubuntu I have a problem with chromium. It's the only program where I can't input some characters (like umlauts, most AltGr chars or numbers from the num block). Firefox, editors, office, even terminal work just fine. Any idea what to check first here?
[11:55] <ash_m> (to another name)
[11:56] <ash_m> it didn't
[11:56] <BvL> did you restart apache
[11:56] <ash_m> BvL: yeah
[11:57] <ash_m> BvL: when I try a2ensite, it says: ERROR: Site benchmarkresearch.net does not exist!
[11:58] <ash_m> BvL: I think I got it
[11:58] <ash_m> my vhost configuration file was not properly name
[11:58] <ash_m> named*
[11:59] <BvL> yep, it looks good now
[11:59] <heartones> any one knows how to use ilo on hp
[11:59] <ash_m> BvL: well, it says pardon our dust
[12:00] <ash_m> which it shouldn't
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> whatr's ilo?
[12:00] <ash_m> you have to manually go to index.php to run the site
[12:00] <BvL> oh i know whats wrong
[12:01] <BvL> Create a .htaccess file in your web root. Add the line "DirectoryIndex index.php"
[12:02] <ash_m> BvL: it's already there
[12:02] <ash_m> BvL: it also happens to be on ErrorDocument too
[12:05] <divBy0> how do you remap keys? i'm trying to make the right control button do what the fn button does
[12:06] <BvL> ash_m did you set "DirectoryIndex index.php" in the httpd.conf or the vhosts file
[12:07] <ash_m> BvL: it's apache2.conf I think, I'll check what the DirectoryIndex says for both
[12:08] <zer0h> divBy0,
[12:08] <zer0h> Go to System Settings > keyboard > Custom Shortcuts
[12:08] <ash_m> BvL: DirectoryIndex is not in apache2.conf
[12:09] <ash_m> BvL: directory index is not in the vhost file... but I don't think it's supposed to be
[12:10] <Seveas> hey ash_m, how's the upgrade going?
[12:10] <divBy0> what command would be for the function key?
[12:10] <ash_m> Seveas: it's done, but I ran into trouble with the site config
[12:11] <divBy0> that's not really a command im not looking for a shortcut im looking to swap keys
[12:11] <ash_m> Seveas: I ended up having to add a <directory> to the apache2.conf file
[12:11] <ash_m> Seveas: and use a2ensite to enable the site
[12:11] <Seveas> all fixed now?
[12:11] <ash_m> Seveas: now I am having a slight problem with index.php
[12:11] <ash_m> Seveas: you have to manually type it
[12:11] <zer0h> divBy0, http://askubuntu.com/questions/24916/how-do-i-remap-certain-keys-or-devices http://askubuntu.com/questions/296155/how-can-i-remap-keyboard-keys See if they help thats all I got
[12:12] <ash_m> Seveas: I checked the .htaccess file and index.php is listed in DirectoryIndex
[12:12] <divBy0> zer0h: k thanks :)
[12:12] <Seveas> I don't trust .htaccess files.
[12:12] <divBy0> zer0h: yea that looks like it should do it. cheers
[12:14] <ash_m> Seveas: I'll be happy to get your full input on why after I get this thing working
[12:15] <Seveas> ash_m: mostly because they're a hack for people on shared hosting who don't have write access to the config. You do, so stick config in the config and disable .htaccess processing :)
[12:16] <BvL> ash_m in that directory tag that you where just talking about, placing it in there "DirectoryIndex index.php"
[12:16] <ash_m> Seveas: that might cause issues with my CMS; I'll resolve that later :P
[12:17] <ash_m> BvL: that sounds weird, but I'll try it
[12:17] <BvL> ash_m according to someone on stackexchange you need it in the main config file to
[12:18] <ash_m> BvL: (1) I can't do that with a vhost I don't think... because that path doesn't have an index.php
[12:18] <ash_m> BvL: (2) it didn;t work :(
[12:22] <BvL> ash_m does the server auto load index.htm ?
[12:23] <ash_m> BvL: it loads "pardon our dust"
[12:23] <ash_m> I dont know what that is
[12:23] <BvL> i dont know what you did but it loads correctly for me
[12:24] <ash_m> BvL: yeah, it's working now for some reason ~.~
[12:24] <BvL> .htm is short for .html
[12:25] <ash_m> okay well that was a blast in a half -_-
[12:25] <ash_m> Seveas: you still around?
[12:25] <ash_m> BvL: thanks for all your support :)
[12:25] <kv102t> i have a DD-WRT router and i wish to setup some iptables but i'm stuck on the rules. anyone a iptables master?
[12:26] <ash_m> kv102t: did you try ##networking ?
[12:26] <kv102t> ash_m: yeh
[12:26] <kv102t> ok thanks
[12:27] <BvL> ash_m glad to help, if you ever get too frustrated nginx is a good alternative
[12:27] <ash_m> BvL: I'm going to check it out for sure
[12:27] <ash_m> Seveas: if you're around, what was your suggested alternative to .htaccess?
[12:29] <BvL> ash_m the suggestion is likely move all the settings from .htaccess and add them to your config files
[12:29] <ash_m> BvL: what config files?
[12:30] <BvL> formally known as httpd.conf and/or 000-default.conf ... any other Apache config file if needed
[12:30] <ash_m> I see
[12:31] <vov_> hello everyone i have extrnal hard disk ( silicone Power 2 TB ) when i choose eject file manager it unmonted but when i touch body of it still  have spin . it seems doesn't power of Ext HD off . now i have question is this satefy for unplug HD ? how i can power off it ?
[12:32] <BvL> if you use .htaccess, it should only be for site specific stuff and even then you could do that in the config files so you probably should
[12:32] <Paddy_NI> Does anyone know how I can have my VPN connect before user login?
[12:34] <EriC^^> vov_: it's safe to unplug it, it unmounted it but it's still powered on, if you'd like to power it off, type udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX
[12:35] <BvL> vov_ if the disk is unmounted then it should be "safe" to remove the drive without any corruption, you can usually shut-down external hard-drives using the Disks app in ubuntu
[12:40] <vov_> Thanks guys
[12:43] <ash_m> well, I think I might take a nap
[12:57] <kokut> Hello, i've been looking through my recent events and i've found that theres been a lot of files on my computer that have been active in the last couple of days that i've not touched, should I be worried about the securty of my system?
[12:58] <ash_m> is tinyurl on the outs? is everyone using bitly now?
[13:01] <BluesKaj> kokut, data files or system files?
[13:01] <kv102t> kokut: what files, personal docs?

[13:03] <kv102t> kokut: anyone else at home? kids or other half?
[13:04] <kv102t> kokut: Are you port forwarding anything to your machine?  SSH?
[13:06] <kokut> I found they were active after installing cairo dock and trying a new theme that includes the "Recent-Events" addon by default
[13:06] <kokut> I'm not port forwarding anything but i have apache installed
[13:06] <kokut> because i'm testing stuff @localhost

[13:26] <inerkick> Hi Team I am getting this error when update http://paste.ubuntu.com/10126034/
[13:26] <inerkick> kindly help
[13:27] <jatt> that ppa is down, replace it
[13:27] <tunafish_> got a mainline kernel 3.19, no customization to upgrade system, if I do update & upgrade, which kernel grub will boot, will it try to place the one with higher version number up?
[13:28] <inerkick> how to do that jatt
[13:28] <jatt> will boot 3.19
[13:28] <tunafish_> Nice, Thank you jatt.
[13:28] <popey> inerkick: that ppa hasn't been updated for some time.
[13:28] <jatt> is not that is not updated, it doesn't exist
[13:28] <popey> yes, it does.
[13:28] <popey> https://launchpad.net/~iaz/+archive/ubuntu/battery-status
[13:29] <popey> the ppa exists, but hasn't been updated for some years, (ie. no builds for newer releases)
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> popey  contact the maintainer of the ppa
[13:29] <popey> MonkeyDust: I'm not the one asking.
[13:30] <jatt> that ppa doesn't correspond to what the inerkick asked, there is a typo inhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10126034/
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> popey  tell the one who's asking, to cantact the maintainer
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> contact*
[13:30] <popey> jatt: again, no.
[13:31] <popey> MonkeyDust: no, it's okay. I'm fine.
[13:31] <jatt> why is 404 not found returned then
[13:31] <popey> jatt: because inerkick is on trusty, and the ppa hasn't had trusty builds setup
[13:31] <popey> jatt: thats what you get if you add a ppa which has no builds for your release
[13:32] <popey> (the ppa last had builds for natty)
[13:32] <inerkick> than how to resolve that issue popey
[13:32] <jatt> so inerkick should remove the ppa if he stays on trusty
[13:33] <inerkick> how to remove it
[13:33] <popey> inerkick: depends, that ppa wont be updated I expect. You could build the app from source, but its probably not going to work
[13:33] <inerkick> ok
[13:33] <inerkick> it can i let it be
[13:33] <lotuspsychje> !ppapurge | inerkick
[13:33] <popey> inerkick: sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:iaz/battery-status
[13:33] <popey> that'll remove it
[13:33] <inerkick> thanks

[14:10] <bodom> Hi there! According to "df -h" i don't have a root filesystem. Is that wizardry or am I missing some news?

[14:12] <bodom> jatt: http://pastebin.com/0UHJrYhW
[14:12] <hellofolks> hello everyone, this: http://imgur.com/SZAyZhl : occured after backing up a windows partition. can someone shed some light on the matter?
[14:12] <ikonia> bodom: is this a virtual machine
[14:12] <bodom> ikonia: no
[14:12] <ikonia> bodom: physical box ?
[14:13] <k1l> bodom: what system is that?
[14:13] <bodom> ikonia: yes, very phisical. it's about 15kg heavy
[14:13] <ikonia> bodom: is there a roof file sytem defined in /etc/fstab
[14:13] <king> i have lenovo g510 and i installed ubuntu but there is no wireless.
[14:13] <ikonia> bodom: and can you show me the output of uname -a please
[14:13] <bodom> k1l: it's an ubuntu server 14.10
[14:13] <jatt> and what does cat /etc/fstab say?
[14:13] <BluesKaj> king, which wifi chip ?
[14:14] <celexi> hellofolks did you backup the hard drive of a hibernated windows
[14:14] <celexi> or a windows 8.x with fastboot on
[14:14] <bodom> ikonia: Linux transylvania 3.16.0-29-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 15 22:27:29 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[14:14] <king> BluesKaj,  how do i know
[14:14] <bodom> jatt: /etc/fstab and "mount" show the root partition
[14:14] <k1l> bodom: did you set it up? what does "dmesg" show regarding that?
[14:14] <ikonia> bodom: can you show us the ouptut of "mount" please
[14:15] <hellofolks> celexi, it was fully shut down as far as i know. it was a win 10 beta. this was given to me by someone else recently
[14:15] <MonkeyDust> bodom  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[14:15] <bodom> ikonia: that's mount http://pastebin.com/Gj0kVfJ4
[14:16] <ikonia> bodom: and /etc/mtab
[14:16] <celexi> hellofolks using shutdown on windows 10 without turning off fastboot the partition stays in a state similar to hibernation
[14:16] <k1l> hellofolks: windows uses a "quick restart" option that will not shut down the filesystem properly
[14:16] <bodom> k1l: basically, every tools I have tried says /dev/sda1 is mounted on /, except of df
[14:16] <ikonia> celexi: how is that an ubuntu problem ?
[14:16] <jatt> seems like a missmatch between the root partition's UUID at boot and the UUID in /etc/fstab
[14:16] <celexi> well ikonia he was asking why his windows partition was not mounting in his ubuntu
[14:16] <ikonia> I don't think it's a missmatch - there is nothing to suggest a uuid difference
[14:16] <celexi> after moving it
[14:16] <k1l> hellofolks: if you dont have the windows anymore you could force the mount and hope that it will not break
[14:17] <ikonia> bodom: whats in /etc/mtab
[14:17] <jatt> can you confirm the UUID used in the grub menu is the same as the one you have in /etc/fstab
[14:17] <bodom> ikonia: /etc/mtab: http://pastebin.com/wGgE20Kk
[14:17] <ikonia> grub???
[14:17] <ikonia> what has grub got to do with this
[14:17] <hellofolks> k1l, how would i go about that. this is on the backup drive by the way
[14:17] <bodom> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 14.10 \n \l
[14:17] <ikonia> bodom: thats very interesting with mtab containing it
[14:18] <bodom> the partition is mounted by uuid, like any other partition, but afaik, uuid is correct
[14:18] <k1l> hellofolks: http://askubuntu.com/questions/500647/unable-to-mount-ntfs-external-hard-drive
[14:18] <blacknred0> does anybody know how to install vmware 8 on ubuntu 14.04?  Been searching and haven't been able to find anything that would work.
[14:19] <ikonia> bodom: if you do a "sudo mount -a" what does it sa ?
[14:19] <ikonia> say
[14:19] <celexi> do you mean vmware workstation blacknred0?
[14:19] <blacknred0> celexi ys
[14:20] <bodom> ikonia: nothing
[14:20] <blacknred0> yes
[14:20] <ikonia> bodom: so it does actually match up against mtab then, most odd
[14:20] <ikonia> bodom: and I assume df is still not showing it
[14:20] <hellofolks> k1l, hmm, do i have to worry about losing data with that?
[14:20] <celexi> are you not able to use 11 blacknred0?
[14:21] <bodom> I've found one interesting thing: df -ah shows it as "-". http://pastebin.com/5DHmhB71
[14:21] <BluesKaj> king, lspci in the terminal, look for Network Controller....Wireless Network Adapter
[14:21] <bodom> ikonia: no, actually only "-a" flag shows it as "-". I don't know what it means, I'm reading man
[14:21] <ikonia> bodom: most odd, never seen that behaviour before
[14:21] <blacknred0> celexi: I don't have a license for 11, but I do for 8.  I checked the vmware site and it seems that the upgrade only starts at 9.
[14:22] <ikonia> bodom: if it wasn't in mtab, I'd understand, but as mtab matches up, thats very odd
[14:22] <ikonia> bodom: stupid thing, but can you actually write to anything in /
[14:22] <ikonia> bodom: eg: sudo touch /test.file
[14:22] <blacknred0> celexi: are you thinking that 8 might not work with 14.04 because of the major changes on the kernels + vmware haven't made any more updates to workstation 8?
[14:22] <celexi> it probably is going to be difficult to make that to work on that ubuntu
[14:22] <bodom> ikonia: yes, ofc :)
[14:22] <jatt> what does
[14:22] <jatt> sudo blkid /dev/sda1
[14:22] <jatt> say? does it match the UUID in /etc/fstab
[14:22] <celexi> yeahblacknred0
[14:23] <celexi> vmware hasn't updated that in a while
[14:23] <king> BluesKaj, now i'm in windows can i know the windows alternative of lspci
[14:23] <bodom> jatt: it does match
[14:24] <celexi> device manager king, this is an ubuntu channel though
[14:24] <bodom> maybe it's some sort of filesystem corruption?
[14:24] <king> actually the problem is in ubuntu
[14:25] <cfhowlett> king then boot ubuntu for the fix.
[14:25] <jatt> as last check confirm that the uuid also is used in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[14:25] <blacknred0> celexi: thanks for your input.  I guess I just have to take the bullet on this one.
[14:25] <kokut> Hello, I just Installed cairo-dock and now all my fonts settings have been changed, including the ones used by text editors like Gedit, anyone knows a way to revert/fix this?
[14:25] <king> from ubuntu i cannot use irc
[14:26] <cfhowlett> king, what?  why?
[14:26] <hellofolks> k1l, hmm, do i have to worry about losing data with that?
[14:26] <king> there is no wireless in ubuntu. so
[14:26] <bodom> jatt: I have same uuid on grub, even if I don't think it can be the cause because system boots flawlessly
[14:27] <king> Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter
[14:27] <king>  is my network adapter
[14:27] <k1l> hellofolks: well. i will not guarantee that you are safe. if you want to have less risk i would try to attach it to a windows pc and let it fix it
[14:28] <bodom> ok, last funny think: if i force df to /dev/sda1, then i finally have correct output: http://pastebin.com/mjZQWXv7
[14:29] <bodom> maybe I should report a bug?
[14:29] <hellofolks> k1l, alright, thanks. i'll give it a shot after a bit and report back.
[14:30] <hellofolks> have a good day everyone
[14:30] <king> cfhowlett, my adapter is Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter
[14:30] <king> . how do i make wireless work in ubuntu?
[14:31] <nbusrone> anyone can recommend an application to search for EXIF date in gui ? if possible integrated with nautilus ?
[14:31] <nutzz> Hey guys, I am trying to understand the difference between logical and primary memory. So the primary memory is the ram and the logical memory can be swap memory, for example?
[14:31] <BluesKaj> king, have you tried to open network manager?
[14:32] <king> yes
[14:32] <cfhowlett> !broadcom | king
[14:32] <cfhowlett> king, eh, no that's not the one you want
[14:32] <BluesKaj> king, more details
[14:34] <king> my laptop is lenovo g510. is there an issue with lenovo??
[14:34] <Surkow|laptop> Hi guys. I'm currently using Ubuntu 14.04 which has no automatic trim for SSDs. A day or so ago I manually used fstrim and freed up 9GB on a samsung evo 840 500GB SSD (which I assumed was supported, as Ubuntu only supports trim for intel and samsung SSDs). Now the result is that my computer is unusable. Everything is slow and firefox and chrome just stall loading pages. There are no other background tasks running. Is there anything
[14:34] <Surkow|laptop> I can do to make it fast again? It seems like anything using file access has become extremely slow.
[14:34] <king> coz i also tried mint and fedora, still not working. but its working in windows.
[14:35] <cfhowlett> king, you are giving all the wrong details.
[14:35] <BluesKaj> king, my laptop is the g500 and it uses the bcm 4313 chip wifi network manager should give you the option to enter the password for your router modem
[14:35] <cfhowlett> !details | kinng
[14:35] <king> !details
[14:35] <BluesKaj> yeah , not very big on details
[14:36] <king> !pastebin
[14:41] <nbusrone> anyone can recommend an application to search for EXIF date in gui ?
[14:47] <blb13135> you mean you want a gui to grep for spcific exif in many pictures?
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> A GUI to grep? Really?
[14:49] <cfhowlett> certainly possible but ... seems like a darn ugly hack
[14:49] <nbusrone> blb13135 : something like that .Just a search tools. I install gnome-search-tools but it doesn't have EXIF search result
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> nbusrone  is this what you want? http://geeqie.sourceforge.net/
[14:50] <g3ky> nbusrone, That data is already accessable through the default ubuntu image viewer.
[14:50] <kokut> is there another way of changing the fonts instead of using gnome-tweak-tool? because most of it is not working.
[14:51] <BluesKaj> king, login to ubuntu and connect an ethernet cable so you can run commands in the terminal, so we can help you
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> kokut: changing which font?
[14:51] <nbusrone> g3ky , MonkeyDust : I mean for searching patten like I wanted to search "1-1-2014 to 1-1-2015" according to EXIF
[14:52] <blb13135> nbusrone: the identify cli utility is part of image magic. It will print requested exif info. A simple bash script around it will do. In case you don't find anything sutable on the gui front
[14:52] <kokut> ActionParsnip: the one being used by text editors for example, I use sublime text, Gedit, etc and now they all look really bad
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> kokut: you can set the font for gedit to use in gedit itself as far as I am aware
[14:53] <blb13135> or you could use glade to create a simple ui and pygtk builder to load it. Very simple
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> kokut: Preferences ▸ Font & Colors.
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> blb13135  "simple" depends on how technically skilled you are
[14:54] <blb13135> no, it's really intuitive and simple
[14:54] <kokut> ActionParsnip: in what version of ubuntu?
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> kokut: I'd imagine it's universal. Gedit is a simple creature
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> kokut: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[14:55] <kokut> 14.04
[14:56] <blb13135> just google for 'glade pygtk examples' and you'll find tons of them. 20 min of work and you're done. Don't even need to know python well
[14:57] <Surkow|laptop> I suppose an ssd performing with 51.65 MB/sec for Timing buffered disk reads is not exactly working as it should. Is there anything I can do to remedy this?
[14:57] <blb13135> is nbusrone still here?
[14:58] <nbusrone> blb13135 : yep just saw your reply :)
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: are you seeing slowness in your OS?
[14:58] <MonkeyDust> blb13135  that's "google", "work" and "python" for someone who's not technically skilled
[14:58] <Surkow|laptop> ActionParsnip, everything is slow. Even typing is terrible. Lag in everything.
[14:59] <Surkow|laptop> Happened since yesterday - prior to this I didn't have any issues.
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: have you got your video hardware setup ok?
[14:59] <blb13135> nbusrone: here is an example of using identify to get width and height
[14:59] <nbusrone> blb13135 : just a newbie , i dont think I am ableto create one . Will first list out on terminal and sort photo by name
[15:00] <blb13135> flux242.blogspot.de/2012/12/annotate-jpg-with-its-exif-date-and-time.html
[15:00] <Surkow|laptop> intel x3100 igp and an intel i965 chipset - open source driver.  Enough to watch high resolution video files and the like.
[15:00] <kokut> Wel i just fixed it installing gnome-shell, how curious
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: did you install the Intel GPU driver? OmgUbuntu has a guide for it
[15:01] <Surkow|laptop> bleeding edge driver? I'd rather not. I already had to disable SNA acceleration because of the heavy instability of the newer drivers.
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: tried a non compositing session like xfce
[15:02] <Surkow|laptop> yep, currently running it
[15:03] <Surkow|laptop> It had been working fine for over half a year until yesterday - when I ran fstrim manually. Thinking it might help me make my ssd faster. It actually did exactly the opposite. After firefox crashed on me and I rebooted the entire system has been slow.
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: did you upgrade before the reboot?
[15:06] <Surkow|laptop> I actually postponed an upgrade from the system (updating firefox and system libraries) until after the reboot. So I think that is not what is causing it.
[15:07] <Surkow|laptop> there was no kernel upgrade or anything - it affects only programs that use a lot of tmp files or disc activity in general
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: add "vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50" into /etc/sysctl.conf and reboot is it OK?
[15:12] <Surkow|laptop> hmm, so that'd be reducing the tendency to reclaim swap space back to memory
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: what is the output of : cat /etc/issue
[15:13] <Surkow|laptop> Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: also set vm.swappiness to something low like 2. I assume you have a decent amount of RAM.
[15:16] <Surkow|laptop> ActionParsnip, 4GB of RAM. I'll be trying out your suggestions soon - have to try a few things before being able to reboot.
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: 4Gb is enough
[15:29] <jian> Ubuntu 15.04, Press Ctrl+Shift+D in nautilus but could not open GtkInspector, and idea is appreciated.
[15:29] <EriC^^> !ubuntu+1 | jian
[15:30] <jian> oh, thanks
[15:30] <Judasbricot> Yo
[15:30] <EriC^^> np
[15:31] <Surkow|laptop> neat to see there are specific channels for bleeding edge
[15:32] <c31r2g> Wow
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Surkow|laptop: makes sense too.
[15:35] <j1n3l0> hi all - i am having some issues installing ubuntu 13.04 on my acer laptop. it provides dual boot but when i choose ubuntu i end up with a shell-like screen that looks like the attached photo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/71y5wsoe32jjobm/IMG_20150208_151620.jpg?dl=0
[15:36] <j1n3l0> would appreciate any pointers on resolving the problem
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> j1n3l0  13.04 or 14.04? was that a typo?
[15:36] <j1n3l0> 13.04
[15:36] <j1n3l0> it was an old disk
[15:37] <MonkeyDust> j1n3l0  13.04 is dead, as in: not breathing anymore
[15:38] <j1n3l0> MonkeyDust - well i tried to install 14.04 and did not get very far. i wanted to install 13.04 and then upgrade to 14.10
[15:38] <j1n3l0> ^14.04
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> j1n3l0  then try 12.04 and upgrade from there
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> j1n3l0: I suggest a clean install of Trusty. Trusty is LTS and supported til April 2019. Raring is EOL and not supported in any way
[15:38] <k1l> j1n3l0: i really would try to fix the issue on a clean isntall of 14.04. because you will get the same issue when upgrading anyway
[15:39] <j1n3l0> i'll give that a go
[15:39] <j1n3l0> thanks all :)
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> j1n3l0: if the system is low specced then Xubuntu may be a good choice
[15:40] <j1n3l0> ActionParsnip - it's a reasonably specced machine
[15:40] <j1n3l0> but i'll try another install
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> j1n3l0: then Ubuntu or kubuntu will be fine
[15:40] <j1n3l0> ok
[15:40] <j1n3l0> thanks
[15:41] <k1l> j1n3l0: md5sum the iso to make sure its not corrupted
[15:42] <joppep> hi guys lookin for some help on mounting
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> joppep  let's hear it
[15:42] <c31r2g> joppep what sort of mounting
[15:42] <joppep> after a power outtage my disk wouldnt mount anymore
[15:42] <joppep> is filesystem corrupted?
[15:43] <joppep> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[15:43] <joppep> got this^
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> joppep: boot to live CD and you can run an feck on the partition
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> Fsck. Sorry
[15:45] <joppep> ActionParsnip: ok 1 q first tho, i also got this when i ran fdiskWARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdc'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
[15:45] <QueensMelons> Guys, do I need to do a reinstall if I install the 15.04 alpha, when It comes out?
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> joppep: then run: sudo parted -l
[15:46] <blb13135> labirynth - 'while ( true ); do if [ $(expr $RANDOM PONG :verne.freenode.net
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> joppep: parted is what you will need, not fdisk.
[15:46] <c31r2g> QueensMelons just upgrade
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> !15.04 | QueensMelons
[15:47] <joppep> ok ill have to install that first ... i followed some guide when i built that computer. im not very good with linux :)
[15:47] <c31r2g> QueensMelons apt-get distuograde
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> QueensMelons: no just run upgrades as normal and you will upgrade through to the release candidate
[15:47] <teward> c31r2g: that won't fix it.
[15:48] <QueensMelons> Nice
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> joppep: it's in the live CD. You will need the live CD so that the partition is unmounted
[15:48] <QueensMelons> Coming from arch, I like that.
[15:48] <Realtimecat> I'm investigating different chat clients.    Recently switched from a CentOS desktop to ubuntu and trying to decide which works best.
[15:48] <QueensMelons> Realtimecat: irccloud
[15:48] <joppep> ActionParsnip: oh ill have to fix meself a livecd then
[15:49] <Realtimecat> It looks like XChat-GNOME IRC does not support multiple simultaneous servers.    Could anyone recommend one that does?
[15:49] <k1l_> Realtimecat: see hexchat
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> joppep: indeed,  if that fails then you'll be reaching for your backups
[15:49] <Ulfalizer> irssi if you don't mind terminals
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> Realtimecat  whatever irc client you choose, someone will always suggest another client, so choose the one you like most
[15:49] <k1l_> its the new xchat. and xchat-gnome is cut down version to meet the gnome rules
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> Realtimecat: I believe pidgin can
[15:49] <Ulfalizer>  /connect <server>, ctrl-x to switch between them in the servers window
[15:50] <Realtimecat> OK, I'll try a few others.   Disappointe with xchat-gnome.   Thanks.
[15:50] <joppep> ActionParsnip: too bad i got my live cd download on that drive :(
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> joppep: so no USB stick or CD.... The one you installed with?
[15:51] <joppep> ActionParsnip: ill just download it again
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> joppep: yeah. Another PC will do it.
[15:53] <joppep> ActionParsnip: its a monitorless serverish-kind-of computer so im on ssh config that one
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> joppep: well. You'll need to shove a monitor on it to fix. Are power issues common?
[15:55] <joppep> ActionParsnip: i do? crap.
[15:55] <joppep> ActionParsnip: well in the winter its quite common, i live on the countryside, and weak powerlines combined with lots of snow
[15:56] <joppep> ActionParsnip: also, crappy internet connection. that live cd is 11h away...
[15:56] <c31r2g> joppep use a stabilizer then and an UPS if feasible
[15:56] <Pablotron> Wow
[15:57] <c31r2g> joppep well you can use small linux distro like dsl puppy linux
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> joppep: may want to invest in a UPS.
[15:57] <c31r2g> joppep where do you live
[15:57] <joppep> sweden
[15:58] <lastkingbangs1> hey everyone i need alittle help
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> lastkingbangs1: what's up
[15:59] <lastkingbangs1> ok well how do install hexchat i just installed ubunto version
[16:00] <BvL> Does anyone know of any alternatives to Xbindkey? I need to rebind a mouse button to a keyboard key
[16:01] <g3ky> lastkingbangs1, Ubuntu Menu > Application Tab > (type) hexchat
[16:02] <BvL> It's "working" but whenever i press the "bound" key the mouse locks until i release it (by locks i mean i cannot use the other mouse buttons)
[16:02] <BvL> (keyboard too)
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> BvL: xmodmap perhaps
[16:04] <BvL> thanks ActionParsnip looking at it right now
[16:06] <_Trullo> no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory how can I fix this?
[16:07] <k1l_> _Trullo: install samba from a PPA that fixes it or wait for 14.04.2  to be released
[16:07] <userings> Someone here with Lenovo B5400? Any problems with Ubuntu?
[16:07] <k1l_> _Trullo: or remove libpam-smbpass
[16:08] <joppep> i ran a gdisk -l on it and it gave http://www.pastebin.ca/2920479
[16:08] <joppep> no help huh?
[16:09] <k1l_> _Trullo: i really dont understand why they wait with that bug for the .2 release :/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1257186  it will help if you mark your affected
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> joppep: did you fsck the partition?
[16:16] <joppep> ActionParsnip: no, dsl live cd is still 45min away
[16:16] <joppep> ActionParsnip: i just messed around a bit
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> joppep: then you will need to wait. If the partition can be accessed unmounted in the current OS then you can fsck it
[16:19] <joppep> ActionParsnip: arent there any live cds with preinstalled ssh-servers?
[16:20] <joppep> i think usb is first in boot order so it will boot on that but its quite messy moving my computer in there. its in the attic you see...
[16:20] <joppep> *computer-monitor
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> joppep: I'd imagine some exist
[16:22] <[1]MN> Hey is there any provision to paste a pic in this IRC window my situation can be clearly explained through that
[16:23] <RealTimeCat> It appears that pidgin will allow connections to multiple servers.
[16:23] <k1l_> !paste | [1]MN
[16:23] <joppep> ActionParsnip: http://partedmagic.com/ ? anything you know of?
[16:23] <RealTimeCat> However I appear to have the username / alias incorrect
[16:23] <[1]MN> ok thanks :-)
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> joppep: I've used that. Not sure if sshd is running by default
[16:27] <RealTimeCat> Ok, I should have my correct alias now
[16:29] <joppep> ActionParsnip: i read on some forum that it started sshd on boot. also that "partedmagic" was root password
[16:29] <joppep> ActionParsnip: would it help me in this issue ?
[16:30] <dreamcat6> hi. can run v-tuner on ubuntu, or similar / equivalent ? for remote dvb devices
[16:32] <Horace> Hello, Ubuntu 14.10, when I try to install q4wine, it wants to remove 'fglrx-amdcccle-updates fglrx-updates fglrx-updates-core'? Is this normal?
[16:32] <RealTimeCat> I will give pidgin a go for a few days.   If it meets my needs I will stick with it.
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> joppep: you can remaster the Ubuntu ISO to have the openssh-server package installed and it will run at boot
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> RealTimeCat: I love pidgin. Been using it for many years
[16:33] <joppep> ActionParsnip: allright... ill make the downloads and come back tomorrow then :( no quick fix for this maybe...
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> joppep: reinstall then reinstate data from backups is quick
[16:34] <joppep> ActionParsnip: but i need the live cds...
[16:34] <joppep> cd
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> joppep: to install the OS, yes
[16:35] <RealTimeCat> Even though it was available on my CentOS based desktop system I never bothered installing it.   I'd been using my tablet for IRC using the AndChat client.   I have decided I wanted to use chat on my primary desktop as well since switching over to ubuntu.
[16:37] <RealTimeCat> I'm trying to find a desktop for my wife to use as she is probably going to switch to linux after Windows-7 - Win 8.x was a disaster no one in our home would use and it looks like MS is going to a pay-as-you go subscription model with win 10
[16:37] <RealTimeCat> Which of course makes me distrust the whole "Free upgrade" offer for win-10
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> RealTimeCat: I'm on AndChat now :-)
[16:38] <Horace> No one knows..
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> Horace: I suggest you report a bug
[16:40] <RealTimeCat> When win 10 actually hits the market I'm sure folks will comb through the T&Cs.   For now I'm going forward with linux desktops, and I suspect the rest of my family will follow suit.
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> !info q4wine
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> RealTimeCat: that is offtopic here
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> Horace: why do you need a GUI for Wine?
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> Horace: could try playonlinux
[16:42] <kevindf> Hello, recently I installed Ubuntu 14.04 and I have a Wifi Mouse that requires a server to be running, I installed the server from http://wifimouse.necta.us/ and selected Ubuntu 64 bit (as I have a 64 bit operating system), But when excecuting the server from cli /usr/sbin/mouseserver I get the error "mouseserver: error while loading shared libraries: libavahi-common.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[16:42] <kevindf> Anyone know what might be causing this error?
[16:44] <Horace> ActionParsnip: I need GUI to easily create prefixes, apparently, the conflict is with Wine and not q4wine

[16:53] <kevindf> ActionParsnip:  libavahi-common3 is already the newest version. I did install the pacakage libavahi-common-dev. tho
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Unix: try in #mysql
[16:53] <kevindf> Still tesame error
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> kevindf: you may need to make a sym link to satisfy the application
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> kevindf: so that the file needed exists
[16:56] <kevindf> ActionParsnip: I know how to make sym links, I just wouldn't know what paths to make sym links for
[16:58] <kevindf> ActionParsnip: I just noticed in Synaptic the i386 version was installed, I will attempt to install the 64 bit version now
[17:00] <kevindf> ActionParsnip: Installed the 64 bit version and that worked, my bad :) Thank you for your assistance
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> kevindf: you got the gold.  That's all we need
[17:08] <foxnet> Hi all, Can someone pls tell how to make ubuntu show all running app on all workspace when task switch by ALT + Tab
[17:08] <foxnet> ?
[17:08] <bazhang> foxnet, gnome-shell has a few plugins for that, alt=tab coverflow for example
[17:09] <foxnet> I am using ubuntu 14.04.1 with default unity UI
[17:09] <rohan_> Hello
[17:10] <rohan_> I have a problem with my Ubuntu installation
[17:10] <bazhang> foxnet, no idea about unity, what I am describing works if you install gnome-shell
[17:10] <rohan_> hello
[17:10] <rohan_> I can't mount /dev/mapper/sryptswap1
[17:10] <rohan_> I can't mount /dev/mapper/cryptswap1
[17:11] <rohan_> I can't mount /dev/mapper/cryptswap1
[17:11] <rohan_> I can't mount /dev/mapper/cryptswap1.Please Help
[17:11] <rohan_> I can't mount /dev/mapper/cryptswap1.Please Help
[17:11] <k1l_> rohan_: if you get annoying and spam the people might not help you at all
[17:11] <BluesKaj> rohan_, it posted thfirst time , noo need to repeat 4times
[17:16] <msdaisy> !mount | rohan_
[17:16] <SAKUJ0> should i take care during a deja dup backup that my files remain unchanged?
[17:17] <SAKUJ0> or does duplicity cache changes instantly to ~/.cache so as to allow me to proceed working the next 5-6 hours (my upload to google drive is slow)
[17:17] <bekks> SAKUJ0: Generally yes, you should take care about that. And ~/.cache/ is totally unimportant, and you can safely exclude it from your backups.
[17:18] <SAKUJ0> i suppose that is particularly important when doing *safe* backups, where you have the system at a desired state before changes and expect to revert
[17:20] <bekks> SAKUJ0: For doing consistent backups, you generally either need to use snapshots, or you need to take offline backups. For regular user-driven backup, it is safe to exclude ~/.cache/ from your backups.
[17:21] <SAKUJ0> is the cache thing really important? or do you bring it up because i mentioned it?
[17:21] <SAKUJ0> currently i only exclude --exclude /proc --exclude /sys --exclude /tmp
[17:22] <bekks> SAKUJ0: Third time: "It is safe to exclude ~/.cache/ from your backups".
[17:22] <SAKUJ0> that answers my question thank you
[17:27] <foxnet> found it, it can be done by installing Unity Tweak and checking the checkbox "Switch between windows on all workspace" to true
[17:33] <BuFF> hi, i was wondering why /proc/net/ip_conntrack is disabled/not installed by default on ubuntu 14.04?
[17:33] <BuFF> are there any security reasons for that?
[17:36] <patrick_> hi
[17:40] <OerHeks> BuFF, seems /proc/net/ip_conntrack is deprecated. You must install the package apt-get install conntrack, and then you can run conntrack -L and see the result >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/266991/in-ubuntu-12-10-how-to-enable-proc-net-ip-conntrack  + http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/conntrack.8.html
[17:41] <OerHeks> not sure what the exact reason is ..
[17:41] <loren> Hi :P
[17:43] <Drew_Neilson> does anyone know of any apps that are available for Ubuntu Touch and are available for download from the Ubuntu Software Center?
[17:43] <Nick888> Hello, I cant speak in #hardware for some reason. So id like to ask here a hardware question lol. Im buying a 13.3inch laptop. Is there any visible difference between 1440resolution and full hd?
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> Drew_Neilson: try in #ubuntutouch
[17:44] <OerHeks> Drew_Neilson, standard in Ubuntu there is a www browser, touch ready
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> Nick888: ask in #freenode why you cannot post in #hardware
[17:45] <OerHeks> Nick888, you might need to register your nickname.
[17:47] <Drew_Neilson> OerHeks No I'm specifically looking for apps I can download, because I don't have an Ubuntu Phone, but am considering getting one, and I want to find out how many apps are available for Ubuntu Touch in the Ubuntu Software Center.  I figure one thing I can do is go to the Ubuntu Software Center from my Windows laptop, and see if anything specifically says "for phones" or "for Ubuntu Touch"
[17:48] <OerHeks> Drew_Neilson, join #ubuntu-touch like ActionParsnip says, that channel can tell you .
[17:51] <HydroFish> hi everybody
[17:51] <hydrocat_> hi !
[17:51] <hydrocat_> hi 5 ?
[17:52] <hydrocat_> D:
[17:53] <HydroFish> i cant install java on iceweasel =( someone can help me?
[17:53] <bazhang> what version of debian HydroFish
[17:59] <timxad> hi
[18:01] <Aleksa> After I select OS on GRUB (or after I wait 10 seconds to autoselect default OS), there's 15 seconds pause (with black screen) until plymouth appears. How to remove this pause?
[18:03] <joppep> ActionParsnip: ehm i looked through some files on my laptop and found a xubuntu desktop iso
[18:03] <Aleksa> I have found some old topic but it's for older version, Ubuntu 10
[18:03] <joppep> and i also took the server down from the attic.
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> joppep: if it's inaccessible (like in an attic)  I would definitely get a UPS
[18:07] <joppep> ActionParsnip: that would be great actually, next upgrade perhaps. quite an old platform atm, mb another more powerefficient one would be a better option if paired with an UPS.
[18:07] <Aleksa> Am I allowed too create  /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash with "FRAMEBUFFER=y" and to run sudo update-initramfs -u afterwards?
[18:14] <brx_> hello all!
[18:14] <brx_> can someone give me a clue how i would install this driver please https://github.com/smilingthax/alsa-driver_scarlett
[18:14] <brx_> i am running the latest ubuntu
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> Aleksa: it's your system. So, yes
[18:15] <Aleksa> ActionParsnip, ok, I've just done it. I'll see what happens.
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> joppep: it's not about efficiency. If the power goes on an Arm County the system will turn off.
[18:15] <nicomachus> Hey guys, how do I set up 2 computers to be networked so I can transfer files between them?
[18:15] <brx_> nicomachus, get a crossover cable
[18:16] <brx_> make sure both computers have a NIC
[18:16] <nicomachus> One PC is wired to the router, the laptop is connected to the router via wifi
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: or use a switch or router
[18:16] <nicomachus> would rather not have to go out and buy a crossover cable if I don't need ot.
[18:16] <nicomachus> to*
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: then they are networked
[18:16] <k1l_> nicomachus: just use a network transfer protocol like samba or nfs
[18:16] <brx_> use smb
[18:16] <nicomachus> what is samba or nfs?
[18:16] <[RO]Daniel> hi all
[18:17] <brx_> hmm maybe i need ndsiwrapper?
[18:17] <[RO]Daniel> anybody use viber?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: if you install openssh-server you can connect using SSHFS.
[18:17] <k1l_> nicomachus: yes, if ssh server is running on one machine use scp or sftp
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: you can also access the data securely if you port forward 22/TCP to the system you want to connect to
[18:18] <nicomachus> anyone got a link handy that explains the process?
[18:18] <brx_> hey ActionParsnip, how do i install this driver https://github.com/smilingthax/alsa-driver_scarlett ?
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: why do you need a guide for one command?
[18:19] <nicomachus> well, you didn't get the commands right for one.
[18:19] <mguy> nicomachus: you haven't need to get crossover cable in over 10 years. Any modern ethernet connection on a PC will be auto sensing
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> brx_: I don't use git, sorry
[18:20] <nicomachus> need to so apt-get install openssh-client first
[18:20] <Aleksa> That has reduced the waiting time for 8 seconds (that means I still have to wait 7 seconds after GRUB2 selection has completed until plymouth appears)
[18:20] <brx_> ActionParsnip, just imagine the folder was local, how would you install it then?
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: that is in a default install
[18:20] <Aleksa> What is the difference between GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX in grub?
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> brx_: is there not a readme file?
[18:20] <[RO]Daniel> i installed viber and its an annoying icon on the left up corner, and it's a fix here but im kinda suspicious with ppa's so i want to ask if anybody use this/if it's safe etc pls help
[18:20] <[RO]Daniel> http://www.webupd8.org/2014/11/viber-wrapper-indicator-hides-floating.html
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: SSH client is in a default install of Ubuntu. What is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[18:22] <joppep> oh lord
[18:22] <nicomachus> Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l
[18:22] <nicomachus> ^ ActionParsnip
[18:22] <joppep> when i carried that big-ass copmuter down from the attic i must have hit it somehow
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> !info openssh-client trusty
[18:23] <joppep> cause the southbridge fan was loose when i opened it up
[18:23] <joppep> yet another reason to get a ups. this case isnt for carrying it around
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: see that 'is standard'?
[18:24] <nicomachus> well, apt-get install openssh-client installed a few hundred kb worth of packages, so I'm glad I ran it anyway.
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: so no, my command is right and will give a standard SFTP server
[18:25] <nicomachus> ok, anyway, we're past that.
[18:25] <nicomachus> I need to change the TCP port to tunnel into the PC I want to connect to?
[18:25] <dinosaur> what command should I use to download gcc sources which are shipped with my Ubuntu distribution and how to build that?
[18:25] <dinosaur> tried apt-get source gcc
[18:25] <dinosaur> doesn't seem like it fetches what was requested
[18:26] <ararob> anyone have this problem with Google Earth ? http://tinypic.com/r/2yoqvd0/8 , whenever i try to get directions from A to B.
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: you can connect to SFTP using Nautilus (also part of the default install, just like openssh-client) as well as with Android using AndFTP
[18:26] <nicomachus> what is SFTP?
[18:26] <nicomachus> nvm
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: secure file transfer protocol
[18:26] <[1]MN> secured file transfer protocol
[18:26] <trism> dinosaur: gcc is in gcc-defaults which is just a meta package, you probably want a gcc version, like gcc-4.8
[18:27] <k1l_> nicomachus: its like a ftp but its running on the ssh server.
[18:27] <nea1> hi, is there a way how i can configure radvd that it announces an other gateway? (like "i have fe80::1 and take ::/0 and fe80::2 takes 2a00:abcd::/64")
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: you authenticate using the same username and password you log in to the Ubuntu OS with
[18:27] <nicomachus> I'm a complete noob when it comes to networking, FYI. haha. my dad is the pro at this, but he's a few hundred miles away.
[18:29] <[1]MN> nea1: what is radvd
[18:30] <Seveas> [1]MN: ipv6 route advertising daemon
[18:30] <ghrs_> :help
[18:30] <k1l_> nicomachus: if you setup the ssh server on the machine A you might connect with the nautilus "connect to a server" from machine B
[18:30] <ghrs_> what is the command to bring up a help screen/command list? I'm not getting feedback from any of the cmds I'm trying
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: if you port forward 22  TCP to one of your systems and give him your WAN IP,  he can access the data on your  system securely
[18:31] <dinosaur> ghrs_: in what? help, man, whatis
[18:31] <ghrs_> help
[18:31] <nicomachus> I'd rather not have my dad SSH'd into my laptop. :P Lol
[18:31] <unomystEz> anyone here have a hidpi laptop screen and lowdpi external monitor?  I'm setting my terminal fonts to like size 22 for my hidpi screen but they're huge on my external monitor, wondering how you get around it if even possible?
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: you don't have to be good at networking with a home network. It's a single subnet and your router is managing the network
[18:31] <ghrs_> dinosaur: trying to /ping people or /help won't send feedback/output to stdout
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: you will have control over the access and his account.
[18:32] <Wug> nicomachus: do you have scp? I'm pretty sure it comes along with openssh-client but not 100%
[18:33] <nicomachus> it would also require him to actually want to take the time to teach me the things he never bothered to teach me in the 18 years I lived with him, so I'll just try to figure it out on my own.
[18:33] <Wug> scp is secure copy protocol and basically pipes files between computers using ssh
[18:33] <Wug> maybe its just secure copy
[18:33] <Wug> i know the 's' is secure :P
[18:34] <ghrs_> you've got it ^
[18:34] <ghrs_> secure copy
[18:34] <Wug> are you using any other hardware? like a router maybe?
[18:34] <nicomachus> Wug: Just my home wireless router.
[18:34] <Wug> oh that should be pretty easy then
[18:34] <nicomachus> You would think so. ;)
[18:35] <dinosaur> ghrs_: it may be a problem with your IRC client, as it is with mine
[18:35] <skweek> ok tell me this isn't weird
[18:35] <dinosaur> trism: thanks, but I'm not sure if even that is what I wanted to have. I can't see any configure script there
[18:36] <ghrs_> dino: okay, any suggestions? /ping <nick> should reply to me, right?
[18:36] <Wug> you dont have to do any ip configuration, all of the automatic stuff should be good enough. figure out the ip address of each computer (ifconfig should show it), then from the source machine, invoke scp thusly: scp /path/to/files/to/copy [remote-ip]:/path/to/copy/to
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: it's a great protocol and easy to setup. Obeys factory standards and is secured
[18:36] <skweek> I have a static wireless network in my wireless drop down that mysteriously appeared there
[18:36] <nicomachus> ActionParsnip: I got openssh installed on both machines. Just don't know what to do next.
[18:36] <skweek> http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/7onk1hj4y0njrwy2gyi.png
[18:36] <Wug> scp can also copy from remote computers instead of to them, with scp [remote-ip]:/path/to/file /local/path/to/copy/to
[18:37] <[1]MN> how to send  documents across irc
[18:37] <[1]MN> chats
[18:37] <Wug> it will prompt for your ssh login credentials, unless you have passwordless login (i.e. with rsa keys or something similar) configured
[18:37] <MonkeyDust> skweek  what's there to see on that picture?
[18:38] <nicomachus> Wug: it's not prompting me for anything.
[18:38] <Wug> nicomachus: does the remote computer have an ssh server on it
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> nicomachus: in nautilus you can connect to the other system
[18:38] <Wug> you'll need one of those
[18:38] <onla> how can I take a screenshot other than print scrn button cus it doesnt work atm
[18:39] <Wug> nicomachus: what did it output
[18:39] <nicomachus> ActionParsnip: under Browse Network?
[18:39] <dinosaur> trism: OK, seems like I figured out how to get it to work. Thank you, although I'm not yet sure if it will do.
[18:39] <nicomachus> Wug: No output, I haven't put in any commands yeet.
[18:40] <nicomachus> yet*
[18:40] <Wug> well that would explain why its not prompting
[18:40] <trism> dinosaur: the gcc package is pretty weird (compared to most packages) because it builds several things, so you just get a tarball of the source
[18:40] <trism> dinosaur: plus the scripts to build the debian package
[18:40] <skweek> the network on top of the list
[18:41] <nicomachus> Wug: What command should I be using?
[18:41] <skweek> MonkeyDust, I have no idea where the store's iphone network came from but it's static
[18:41] <MonkeyDust> skweek  i see nothing wrong... wjat brings you here
[18:41] <pavlos_> onla, I have 14.04, pressed Fn PrtScn and it save me a screenshot
[18:41] <Wug> nicomachus: are you on the source or the target computer
[18:41] <lastkingbangs1> i need some help
[18:42] <nicomachus> I can be on either. This IRC is on the source.
[18:42] <Wug> nicomachus: do you know the ip of the target
[18:42] <nicomachus> Is this pretty much the whole process?: http://askubuntu.com/questions/156169/how-do-i-set-up-file-sharing-between-two-ubuntu-laptops-on-my-wireless-network
[18:42] <Wug> you can probably make it work with those instructions
[18:43] <nicomachus> Ok. gonna have to jump off here for a sec to kick off the VPN
[18:43] <toastee> Can someone please take a look at my question here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/582806/no-audio-in-firefox-chrome-spotify-etc-on-ubuntu-14-04
[18:43] <toastee> Pulling my hair out...thanks
[18:44] <dinosaur> trism: configure script has gone successfully. Now, I have no idea how to execute make
[18:44] <dinosaur> no Makefile created
[18:45] <rpp601> does anyone have any experience with chrome remote desktop?
[18:46] <nicomachus> Hmm.. when I got to "Connect to Server" the options are not the same as this walk-through.
[18:46] <skweek> so I see this network on the top of my wireless networking drop down that i've never seen before the "Store's iPhone Network" http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/7onk1hj4y0njrwy2gyi.png and I'm wondering does anyone know where to investigate this?
[18:46] <nicomachus> It only has one input box, for "Server Address"
[18:47] <pavlos_> nicomachus, click on the Broswe button
[18:47] <lastkingbangs1> how do install a game i downloaded from the web?
[18:47] <k1l_> lastkingbangs1: depends on the game. best is to read the readme
[18:48] <nicomachus> Just went to back to the Nautilus "Browse Network" screen, where there's only one option (Windows Network)
[18:48] <k1l_> yes, or just leave the channel after asking :X
[18:48] <pavlos_> nicomachus, double clikc that
[18:48] <daioria> dinosaur: any Makefile in directory ?
[18:48] <nicomachus> Goes to another folder, WorkGroup
[18:49] <nicomachus> asks for Username, Domain, and Password
[18:49] <dinosaur> daioria: no. I tried to go to the subdirectory "gcc" in gcc-4.8.2, and it has a Makefiles, but compilation stops anyway. Also, it doesn't seem that it's what I wanted.
[18:49] <Blaster> Is it possible to install Ubuntu on Chromebook?
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> Blaster  is that ARM?
[18:50] <daioria> dinosaur: :/configure went good ?
[18:50] <Blaster> MonkeyDust: Not sure.
[18:50] <Blaster> I don't have it here, it's my friends actually.
[18:52] <znc_> hey I would like to make a ntfs-partition, gparted cant do that now, do I need to install some packages hmm
[18:52] <dinosaur> daioria: yes. To be strict there are Makefile.def Makefile.in and Makefile.tpl.
[18:52] <daioria> dinosaur: : what are you compiling ?
[18:52] <[1]MN> #begginer
[18:53] <nicomachus> I have no idea what the password is for "WorkGroup"
[18:53] <nicomachus> It's not my login password or my wifi password.
[18:53] <nix__> list
[18:53] <dinosaur> daioria: I'm going to build the cross-compiler, so I wanted to execute make all-gcc. It didn't work (no makefile). So I tried make and it does't work, too. As to what I'm compiling, I want to compile gcc, but not sure what I'm compiling right now
[18:53] <znc_> ntfs-3g right
[18:53] <dinosaur> daioria: I'm in the directory gcc-4.8-4.8.2/gcc-4.8.2, though.
[18:53] <skweek> so I see this network on the top of my wireless networking drop down that i've never seen before the "Store's iPhone Network" http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/7onk1hj4y0njrwy2gyi.png and I'm wondering does anyone know where to investigate this menu item?
[18:53] <pavlos_> nicomachus, if you know the IP of the target, you should be able to enter IP and user/pass. "Workgroup" is just a domain name.
[18:54] <nicomachus> pavlos_ it doesn't ask for IP anywhere.
[18:54] <znc_> it seems to be installed hmm
[18:55] <nicomachus> I tried putting the destination PCs username into that box and then it's user-password, but no go.
[18:55] <daioria> dinosaur: : i think there is a specific procedure for that
[18:55] <JoshDreamland> Why are python bindings not installed with libaspell-dev?
[18:55] <dinosaur> daioria: probably. Pitty that I can't find it, but will keep searching
[18:55] <dinosaur> daioria: I've read README file and it didn't tell me much
[18:56] <daioria> dinosaur: : preshing.com/2014119/how-to-build-a-gcc-cross-compiler
[18:56] <pavlos_> nicomachus, seems the target system does not share anything. Usually, you configure samba on the target, create a /mnt/public which can be shared around your network.
[18:56] <daioria> dinosaur: : preshing.com/20141119/how-to-build-a-gcc-cross-compiler, sorry
[18:57] <nicomachus> ok, target system does not have samba installed. installing now.
[18:58] <JoshDreamland> okay, so there's a python-gtkspell but not python-aspell
[18:58] <raowji> hello everyone, I need to provide not so technical users with a method of getting the embed code of an image. with firefox it is easy, you can extract file names and dimensions simply from 'view image info' in the right-click menu..I presume this feature is special to firefox..could you recommend any other easy way to get these values, except from 'inspect element', which I think might be not so straightforward for some users?
[18:58] <dinosaur> daioria: thx, but they're taking a lot from the external sources instead of relying on sources which are part of the distribution. If there's no other choice, I'll go with that.
[18:59] <daioria> dinosaur: good luck i'm interested too
[18:59] <dinosaur> daioria: thx
[18:59] <nicomachus> screw it, I gotta shower and go to an open house for a robotics club for work. I'll just buy a crossover cable on my way home, I guess.
[18:59] <nicomachus> Radioshack is having a 70% off sale.
[19:00] <nicomachus> I can just do a direct transfer then, right?
[19:01] <Mobbad> how do i hide folders on xubuntu?
[19:01] <BluesKaj> radio shack going belly up
[19:01] <pavlos_> nicomachus, seems both source and target are within your access. Can you use usb sticks to transfer data?
[19:01] <SchrodingersScat> raowji: curl can also pull the html for a page, then you can parse/filter that for what you're looking for.
[19:01] <nicomachus> pavlos_ I could... but I only have a 4gb and need to transfer 145gb of music.
[19:03] <JoshDreamland> wow, this is a new kind of aggravating
[19:03] <pavlos_> nicomachus, I think you're better off setting up samba. BTW, not sure if you need a crossover cable, more eth45 devices now are self-sensing.
[19:03] <JoshDreamland> I can have GtkSpell tell me how to spell a widget, or maybe I can find a python Aspell binding that supports strings
[19:05] <raowji> SchrodingersScat, I wish to find a not much technical way for average users..you recommend me command line application? :))
[19:07] <nix__> help me please!   i have installed youcomplete, but VIM always insert first suggestion from 'autocomplete' list. How just show suggestion?
[19:08] <nix__> sorry my english (
[19:08] <nix__> my completeopt:   "set completeopt=menuone,preview"
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> pavlos_: why samba if both systems are Linux based? Makes no sense at all
[19:10] <SchrodingersScat> raowji: you already listed the non-technical way, mine scales better if there's many pages to parse.
[19:10] <skweek> http://tinypic.com/r/24ew5sy/8 anyone have any idea what the top listed network would be
[19:11] <daioria> ActionParsnip: you can just use mount ?
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> daioria: you can use mount for SFTP also...
[19:11] <daioria> ActionParsnip: thanx
[19:12] <pavlos_> ActionParsnip, have not tried direct ethernet, if it works nicomachus would like to know.
[19:12] <raowji> SchrodingersScat, the problem is the eagerness of referred users to use / learn it
[19:16] <OerHeks> skweek, looks like your wired network, check settings if you named that wired network.
[19:17] <lastkingbangs1> i need some help
[19:17] <pavlos_> nicomachus, http://askubuntu.com/questions/22835/how-to-network-two-ubuntu-computers-using-ethernet-without-a-router

[19:18] <lastkingbangs1> ok how do i install a game i installed from the web?
[19:18] <raowji> SchrodingersScat, thank you all the same..I think I will stick with inspector..
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> pavlos_: nicomachus: as long as the connection is sound then communication will work. P2p will need a crossover cable
[19:18] <Pl3x0r> hello ubunto
[19:18] <k1l_> lastkingbangs1: depends on the game. best is to read the readme
[19:19] <Pl3x0r> hi
[19:19] <lastkingbangs1> warframe
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> lastkingbangs1: if you installed it from the Web then it's installed. By definition
[19:19] <fosterlew> yooo
[19:19] <lastkingbangs1> its a msi i dnt have anything installed to open it how do i do so?
[19:19] <Pl3x0r> guys I installed ubuntu but i need help to find something
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> lastkingbangs1: if you meant you downloaded it from the Internet then that's different
[19:19] <fosterlew> like?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> lastkingbangs1: check the Wine AppDb for compatibility
[19:20] <lastkingbangs1> how do i do that?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Pl3x0r: find what?
[19:20] <k1l_> lastkingbangs1: so its not linux compatible? then your best chance is wine
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> lastkingbangs1: search the Web......
[19:20] <Pl3x0r> I can't find Cortana
[19:20] <k1l_> !wine | lastkingbangs1
[19:20] <lastkingbangs1> i have ubuntu
[19:20] <Pl3x0r> my frind told me when you Install ubuntu you'll find Cortana
[19:21] <Pl3x0r> I can't find it
[19:21] <OerHeks> Pl3x0r, lols, cortana is the microsoft version of Siri
[19:21] <Pl3x0r> do i need seperate installation?
[19:21] <Pl3x0r> what?
[19:21] <k1l_> Pl3x0r: you meant the microsoft cortana?
[19:21] <OerHeks> Pl3x0r, ask your friend
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Pl3x0r: cortana is a Microsoft technology. Your friend is mistaken
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> lastkingbangs1: not all applications run with wine
[19:22] <Pl3x0r> what the hell, I just I sked someone to remove windows
[19:22] <Pl3x0r> he installed ubunto for me
[19:22] <lastkingbangs1> whats wine?\

[19:22] <ActionParsnip> lastkingbangs1: couldn't search the Web to find out?
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> lastkingbangs1: if you have to be spoon-fed every detail you are going to struggle with computers
[19:23] <Pl3x0r> I think I was trolled by my friend
[19:23] <lastkingbangs1> lol Funny
[19:23] <Pl3x0r> I'll kill that mofo

[19:24] <ActionParsnip> lastkingbangs1: so you expect people to tell you something you can find out with even the most basic search online?
[19:24] <k1l_> lastkingbangs1: what is the issue? i think i answered all your questions
[19:24] <k1l_> ActionParsnip: let it go. no need to make a drama
[19:25] <lastkingbangs1> i have no questions i figured it out it launched

[19:29] <krooyh> hi, i have problem which i cant solve, switched my graphic card from 650 ti to 970 (nvidia) and system doesnt boot. I dont know how to bring default graphic driver back, how to start by grub to do it.. any ideas?
[19:31] <FBI> krooyh: boot to runlevel 3 and install the latest nvidia drivers (using apt)
[19:31] <OerHeks> krooyh, you would need the Nvidia 343.22 driver or higher for it, http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77844/en-us
[19:32] <krooyh> ok thx FBI and OerHeks, ill try that
[19:33] <FBI> don't install the driver directly from nvidia.com
[19:33] <reddevil24> cd /dev now how'd you access one of your hard drives from the terminal
[19:33] <FBI> reddevil24: you mount it wherever you want, asuming it is not already mounted
[19:34] <FBI> krooyh: check the nvidia-current package
[19:34] <FBI> krooyh: or grab the latest from ppa
[19:35] <reddevil24> FBI: supposing I'm in the dev directory where sda sda1 etc are shown.. How do i access any of them.. The command..?
[19:35] <FBI> reddevil24: pmount /dev/whatever some/where
[19:35] <FBI> or mount
[19:35] <FBI> reddevil24: but it might be mounted already
[19:36] <OerHeks> krooyh, use https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[19:36] <FBI> reddevil24: lsblk will tell you if and where it is mounted
[19:36] <reddevil24> Please do
[19:36] <reddevil24> I just want to access the files over any of the hard disk partitions.
[19:37] <Flexman> hi
[19:37] <Flexman> say can I run Ubuntu Touch from an USB-Stick on the Surface Pro?
[19:37] <FBI> reddevil24: and you do that by mounting it
[19:37] <bekks> reddevil24: you have to mount your filesystems.
[19:38] <reddevil24> FBI , bekks : could you guide me through it..?
[19:38] <FBI> reddevil24: pmount /dev/whatever some/where
[19:38] <bekks> !mount | RedRat
[19:38] <FBI> reddevil24: but as I said, check if it is mounted already by running lsblk
[19:38] <FBI> and he leaves
[19:38] <RedRat> :(
[19:38] <FBI> RedRat: 20:38:28        FBI ╡ reddevil24: but as I said, check if it is mounted already by running lsblk
[19:38] <RedRat> bekks, is impossible to mount on me
[19:38] <FBI> er... reddevil24 ^
[19:38] <RedRat> :)
[19:38] <bekks> RedRat: :)
[19:39] <krooyh> thx for advices, cant boot it in runlevel 3
[19:39] <FBI> krooyh: errors?
[19:40] <reddevil24> FBI: bingo..!
[19:40] <QueensMelons> guys can i upgrade from ubuntu 14.10 to ubuntu 15.04 alpha?
[19:41] <krooyh> its stops at plymouth-upstart-bridge main process ended, respawning .. terminated with status 1 and then usb devices found and stops at adding swap on /dev/sda6 priority:-1 extends:1 across:numbers SSFS
[19:41] <FBI> QueensMelons: yes
[19:41] <QueensMelons> like, without installing again?
[19:41] <FBI> krooyh: hmm, try singleuser instead then
[19:41] <krooyh> ok FBI
[19:41] <FBI> aka runlevel 1
[19:41] <reddevil24> FBI: media/reddevil/abc is the mounted path.. Can i change it to something else.. ?
[19:42] <FBI> reddevil24: sure, just remount it, but why?
[19:42] <FBI> is it a internal disk btw?
[19:42] <FBI> if it is, then you can just trow it in fstab to have it mounted wherever you like at boot
[19:43] <reddevil24> Yeah it is internal partition
[19:44] <krooyh> FBI: _ sighn is blinking
[19:44] <krooyh> nothing happneds
[19:44] <krooyh> ill try to put back old card
[19:45] <daioria> krooyh: have you tried  no mode set in grub?
[19:45] <krooyh> no
[19:45] <SchrodingersScat> !ubuntu+1 | QueensMelons
[19:45] <FBI> krooyh: forgot the power?
[19:45] <krooyh> power?
[19:45] <FBI> 6/8 pin power connectors
[19:45] <FBI> asuming it is not a reference design card
[19:46] <krooyh> no no, I have 2 os on one drive, it works normally on windows
[19:46] <FBI> can always boot the install image and chroot in
[19:46] <FBI> and then try to install ther driver
[19:46] <FBI> the*
[19:46] <krooyh> right good idea
[19:46] <FBI> hmm, did you use nouveau before?
[19:47] <FBI> or the closed source driver?
[19:47] <FBI> if you used nouveau then you can try booting with nomodeset
[19:47] <krooyh> i'll try first nomodeset
[19:49] <yazid> hi
[19:49] <bmelcher84> hi
[19:49] <yazid> how r u ?
[19:49] <bmelcher84> good, yourself?
[19:49] <bmelcher84> trying to get a public key from a private key, cant ssh into one of my linux boxes
[19:51] <Bl3u2or> any clip /copy/paste manager for Ubuntu Gnome? Having trouble finding a good one.
[19:51] <krooyh> daioria FBI nomodeset worked
[19:51] <krooyh> thx!
[19:52] <daioria> krooyh: yippy ya ye
[19:52] <FBI> krooyh: install the nvidia driver from ppa then, it should blacklist nouveau, if it doesn't then blacklist it yourself in /etc/modprobe.d/whatever
[19:52] <yazid> fine thx but .... :(
[20:00] <yazid> i don't wanna back to windows :(
[20:01] <MonkeyDust> yazid  what is your ubuntu question?
[20:04] <thllht> Hello, can maybe somebody help me? I already all day try to get writing rights to my external drive, but it doesn't work...
[20:05] <thllht> i tried to use chown and chmod, but I think I did some mistake
[20:05] <OerHeks> thllht, what format is that ext drive? NTFS ?
[20:06] <thllht> ext4, I have to say, I formatted the drive on another computer with OS Kali, and formatting was done under root.
[20:07] <FBI> thllht: chown/chmod it then
[20:07] <thllht> i get the response in bash, that system is read-only
[20:07] <FBI> asuming it is not mounted read only
[20:08] <teward> thllht: can `root` / `sudo` write to the derive?
[20:08] <teward> drive(
[20:08] <teward> grrr, bleh
[20:08] <teward> stupid keyboard
[20:08] <FBI> findmnt /what/ever to see if it is mounted read-only or not
[20:08] <thllht> i normally do not use bash for that, but the gui "drive manager", just a moment i will try
[20:09] <teward> thllht: `bash` is just saying the same thing the 'drive manager' would be saying - the issue is that we need to see whether your user is not permitted to write, or whether the drive is actually mounted as "read only"
[20:09] <krooyh> FBI: if you can point me, i did run in nomodeset, now i get login window but after login i get blank desktop. on console i did purge nvidia and i want to get default display driver back, how can I do that?
[20:10] <FBI> krooyh: install the new driver from the ppa
[20:10] <FBI> and it should just work(tm)
[20:10] <krooyh> it didnt
[20:10] <krooyh> i installed nvidia-current
[20:10] <FBI> read the xorg log
[20:10] <krooyh> ok
[20:10] <FBI> krooyh: which version was -current at?
[20:10] <krooyh> idk ;|
[20:10] <FBI> check it
[20:10] <krooyh> how?
[20:11] <OerHeks> thllht, If it mounts read only, you might need to check the partitions >  fsck /dev/sd(your hdd) -v -y
[20:11] <thllht> I cannot mount the device. After clicking in drive manager, i get an error:
[20:11] <thllht> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10131051/
[20:12] <Sunson> Hi All.  I need a little help with VirtualBox. Anyone know about it? Is this the place to ask?
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> Sunson: what is the issue
[20:13] <MonkeyDust> thllht  i thinks it's the quotes
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> thllht: what filesystem are you trying to mount?
[20:14] <thllht> result from fsck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10131120/
[20:14] <thllht> it is ext4
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> QueensMelons: you can upgrade to Vivid from Utopia. You will need to for continuing support as Utopic is EOL in July
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> thllht: have you fsck'd it with the file system unmounted?
[20:15] <thllht> the english translation of that message would be "invalid magic figure in superblock"
[20:16] <thllht> i am not sure, i think yes
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> thllht: did you try the different super block as stated in your paste in?
[20:17] <thllht> i dont know how to do it
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> thllht: e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sdb1
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> thllht: it's on your paste in...  Just read
[20:17] <thllht> without sudo?
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> thllht: yes with sudo
[20:17] <nindustries> Hi, trying to connect my synology to a webdav server (apache2 on debian). Im getting the "Not a WebDAV enabled share" error; suggestions?  On my server, I see the '/webdav/ file not found' error. I can visit/mount the file fine on other systems..
[20:18] <Sunson> ActionParsnip: I'm running ubuntu as the host with a win xp guest. I'm having issues being able to access files between the host and guest, vice versa...
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> Sunson: did you install the guest additions?
[20:20] <Sunson> ActionParsnip: I thought I did threw the software center...maybe i'm not mapping the drive correctly?
[20:20] <thllht> there are many messages. I am all the time asked, if i want to repair. I always press y
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Sunson: in the menus on the VM there is an option to install the guest additions in the VM. You need them for this to work
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> thllht: sounds like the file system isn't healthy. Do you use the safe remove feature in the OS before unplugging the USB cable?
[20:22] <thllht> yes, normally. But when trying to unmount i got today some error messages, so i already several unplugged and plugged back the hd to my laptop
[20:22] <nix__> exit
[20:23] <Sunson> ActionParsnip: I don't see one..I installed guest additions from the software center and restarted...
[20:23] <MonkeyDust> Sunson  install guest additions in vbox itself
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> Sunson: http://i.stack.imgur.com/21L30.png
[20:24] <thllht> i cancelled the e2fsck, because it might take hours
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Sunson: you need to do it that way. The package you installed is for Ubuntu as a guest OS
[20:24] <thllht> can't i reformat the whole drive?
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> thllht: if you want,  yes
[20:25] <thllht> can i do it in bash?
[20:25] <cliftonts> Is there anyone here who could help me out with a python issue? The python rooms don't appear to be used for chatting at all!
[20:26] <posi> Good day everyone. I have noticed compviz is burning an entire core on my laptop for even mild things going on on my screen. Anything I should try to fix it?
[20:26] <FBI> cliftonts: #python is the correct place
[20:26] <posi> Where should I start looking?
[20:26] <FBI> cliftonts: you got forwarded to #python-unregistered because you are not identified with nickserv
[20:26] <Sunson> ActionParsnip: ok that makes sense. Seems i thought about it a little backwards...so i need to install it within my xp guest?
[20:27] <cliftonts> FBI: I can't get into #python, it diverts me elsewhere and I'm not going to spend all day getting registered just to ask one question.
[20:27] <thllht> i reformatted but again i cannot mount...
[20:27] <posi> I've started a pastebin with my current system specs http://pastebin.com/PjrTYqYN
[20:27] <FBI> cliftonts: I just told you why
[20:27] <FBI> cliftonts: just register/identify with nickserv
[20:27] <OerHeks> !register
[20:27] <posi> I just wanna avoid filing an issue if it's something people are already dealing with
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Sunson: yes
[20:27] <cliftonts> FBI: I have no idea how and don't have all night to figure it out
[20:27] <FBI> cliftonts: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[20:27] <FBI> cliftonts: takes <2 mins to do
[20:28] <OerHeks> Don't forget to answer the email
[20:28] <FBI> depends on how slow email decides to be
[20:28] <Sunson> ActionParsnip: ok, thanks. Will check back with you in a little while.
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> Sunson: cool. You can then set a folder to share in the  VM settings. The same page also shows how to mount the share in Windows
[20:33] <JeroenMathon> Hello.
[20:35] <posix4e> COuld it be the nvidia drivers?
[20:45] <TiZ> Hi there. I have a weird thing going on with my battery. Upower says the state is fully charged, but the percentage is 98%. How can I fix this?
[20:46] <malimbar> TiZ, those sound like the same thing. you don't normally want batteries sitting at 100% all the time, you want them to wiggle a few percentage to keep them from wearing out
[20:46] <malimbar> mac's do something similar
[20:46] <malimbar> probably windows as well, though I'm not sure
[20:48] <TiZ> malimbar: I've never heard that before. I'm just concerned because it always used to say 100% and then it suddenly started doing this 98% business.
[20:48] <mined> yeah, that "problem" is on all laptops..
[20:48] <malimbar> if you let it go to 95%, does it start charging back up?
[20:48] <TiZ> malimbar: Good question, let's test it.
[20:49] <malimbar> sure thing. I can google a few things if you want, but that sounds normal to me
[20:50] <TiZ> malimbar: Thanks for the offer, but I'm in IT so I know how to google. :v I was just wondering if anyone here happened to know anything about it.
[20:51] <malimbar> haven't heard of any bugs. But if you're in IT you should probably know the battery thing
[20:57] <OerHeks> TiZ, " it always used to say 100% " in windows ?
[20:58] <siboak> hello everyone, I'd like to add a line of html code for an image within a text document. because it is an image code, when I publish it it is shown as an image. how can I make it appear as the code itself?
[20:59] <MonkeyDust> siboak  try <pre>...</pre>  but better ask in an html channel
[21:00] <TiZ> OerHeka: No, in Xubuntu.
[21:00] <siboak> MonkeyDust, thank you! I will try both
[21:01] <TiZ> malimbar: I'm going to plug the AC back in now. I'd never heard of it before now, but learning it now is better late than never.
[21:02] <malimbar> TiZ, sure thing. If it doesn't work then we have something else to look for :). I couldn't find a good text resource on it... but iirc steve gibson had a good podcast about batteries before, I'll look that up
[21:07] <FBI> TiZ: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/04/ask-ars-the-best-way-to-use-a-lithium-ion-battery-redux/
[21:07] <FBI> TiZ: note that not all lithium ione batteries are made the same though, there are *a lot* of different types, with quite large differences
[21:08] <MarkLessanger> Ok, I am back with yet another challenge. Thank you again for helping yesterday to all that assisted. I was wondering if any of you know why the burn effect is no longer in compiz for ubuntu? did I install something wrong you think. I am running ubuntu 14.10
[21:09] <EriC^^> MarkLessanger: are you talking about the burn effect that happens after you close a window?
[21:10] <MarkLessanger> yeah, or menu items. For instance I open the application menu in gnome 3 and it used to use a burning animaiton. however, this animation is no longer in my list
[21:10] <slipshot> I have started an indiegogo campaign. is it ok if i share the link in this channel?
[21:10] <OerHeks> Isn't that part of compiz-plugins-extra?
[21:10] <OerHeks> slipshot, no
[21:10] <MarkLessanger> I have that installed OerHeks
[21:10] <EriC^^> MarkLessanger: it's been removed since 12.10 i think, it's unfortunate
[21:10] <MarkLessanger> ah, well shit lol
[21:11] <ikonia> tone down the language please
[21:11] <ikonia> there isn't really a need for it
[21:11] <EriC^^> there's the sand thing effect, not remotely as cool as the burn one though
[21:11] <FBI> slipshot: should have done kickstarter
[21:11] <FBI> it is much more trustworthy
[21:11] <MarkLessanger> yeah, it really is unfortunate. oh well.
[21:12] <MarkLessanger> ikonia, you talking to me??
[21:12] <ikonia> MarkLessanger: ye
[21:12] <ikonia> yes
[21:12] <MarkLessanger> oh, sorry, did not realize kids were here. my apologies.
[21:12] <slipshot> i have never done anything like this before but really need some help. That is why i started the campaign.
[21:12] <ikonia> MarkLessanger: no problem at all
[21:13] <ikonia> slipshot: please don't share here
[21:13] <ikonia> slipshot: it is nothing to do with this channel
[21:13] <OerHeks> slipshot, try #ubuntu-offtopic or #linux or something
[21:13] <ikonia> don't spam either of those channels with it please
[21:13] <slipshot> ok i understand. i dont want to make anyone mad.
[21:13] <OerHeks> slipshot, nice you asked before pasting.
[21:14] <malimbar> aww, TiZ isn't here now. Well, if anyone else is curious, here's the link for the battery thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD9z7_yt8_Q#t=45m30s
[21:14] <slipshot> i didnt want to spam. i have more respect for linux users than that.
[21:18] <MarkLessanger> is ikonia a respected member around here?
[21:19] <bazhang> MarkLessanger, did you have an ubuntu support issue
[21:19] <OerHeks> MarkLessanger, sure, and read the code of conduct please.
[21:20] <MarkLessanger> gotchya, thank you all for not blowing up about it. first irc chat room that put limits, that is what sparked my curiosity. it nice actually.
[21:21] <MarkLessanger> not currently bazhang
[21:21] <MarkLessanger> it was answered.
[21:21] <serbianTHC> hi
[21:21] <bazhang> ok
[21:21] <phdsunix_> boa tarde
[21:21] <MarkLessanger> OerHeks, was there any talk of bringing it back to ubuntu that you have heard?
[21:22] <phdsunix_> alguem sabe o novo endereço do antigo site  chamado cloudtorrent ?
[21:22] <serbianTHC> MarkLessanger can i ask you something ???
[21:22] <serbianTHC> :D
[21:22] <MarkLessanger> or eric
[21:22] <MarkLessanger> shoot, serbianTHC
[21:23] <MarkLessanger> EriC^^ *
[21:24] <serbianTHC> I am from Serbia :D
[21:24] <OerHeks> MarkLessanger, no, not that i know of.
[21:24] <serbianTHC> Just to people know :D
[21:24] <MarkLessanger> aight, thanks all im out.
[21:25] <serbianTHC> Is someone else online ??? :D
[21:25] <ThinkT510> serbianTHC: many are online, need a hand with ubuntu?
[21:25] <k1l_> serbianTHC: we have #ubuntu-offtopic for chating. this channel is support only
[21:25] <OerHeks> serbianTHC, do you have an ubuntu support question? for chit chat join #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:27] <serbianTHC> Oh sorry, i wanted to ask in my school we are using Windows 7 , will our server be stable if we install Ubuntu on him ??? :D
[21:27] <FBI> MonkeyDust: "shoot" might be taken literal in serbia :p
[21:28] <multihunter> hi
[21:28] <FBI> er.. MarkLessanger
[21:28] <multihunter> whats the latest kernel version?
[21:28] <craigbass1976> I ran dd last night, but only grabbed a partition.  Can I do anything with this, or was I supposed to grab the whole disk?
[21:28] <multihunter> *stable version
[21:28] <OerHeks> multihunter, for what ubuntu version ?
[21:28] <multihunter> 14.04 64bit
[21:28] <craigbass1976> The filesystem is screwed, and I'm going to try and read a copy
[21:28] <serbianTHC> i am out :D
[21:28] <k1l_> !info linux-image-generic  trusty | multihunter
[21:29] <multihunter> 3.13 is rather old
[21:29] <multihunter> what happens if I install 3.18?
[21:29] <Exagone313> hello, how to configure bind9 to create a PTR record/reverse dns for an ipv6 address? by hosting provider needs me to use my own nameserver for ipv6
[21:30] <OerHeks> multihunter, you cannot, as it is not in the repositories nor in the kernel ppa. ( for trusty )
[21:30] <k1l_> multihunter: you can wait for the enablement stack.
[21:30] <k1l_> !ltse | multihunter
[21:30] <Bashing-om> multihunter: "old" is stable . What prompts you to walk on the wilder side ?
[21:30] <k1l_> multihunter: but it sounds like you dont want a stable release at all?
[21:31] <multihunter> well I want a stable one, but what about the security?
[21:31] <OerHeks> it will be in next version Vivid 15.04
[21:31] <MonkeyDust> multihunter  3.13 is stable and secure, ok
[21:31] <multihunter> ok then
[21:31] <multihunter> thanks
[21:32] <k1l_> multihunter: no. you get a stable one. 3.13. and you get the backport kernels (see the bots message). if you want the latest ever kernel, dont talk about stableness :)
[21:32] <multihunter> btw there is a v3.14.1-trusty
[21:33] <MonkeyDust> !newest | multihunter
[21:34] <multihunter> ok
[21:39] <etronik>  hi all, I've inserted my android's sd card via USB adapter to USB port in Ubuntu, but card is not recognized... how should I proceed ?
[21:39] <etronik> TIA
[21:40] <ThinkT510> sometimes i find those cheap usb sd card readers just don't work
[21:44] <TiZ> malimbar: Sorry about disappearing there.
[21:44] <malimbar> no problem
[21:44] <TiZ> malimbar: It appears that after letting it discharge a little bit, it's heading back toward 100% like normal.
[21:45] <malimbar> TiZ, great :)
[21:50] <Nytram> etronik make sure you're using the correct USB port, if you have USB3 support enabled in the bios some USB 1 and 2 devices glitch.
[21:52] <Nytram> Example: I had USB 3 support enabled in my bios and a few USB 2 devices plugged into those ports, although recognised my boot time was 45 seconds longer.
[21:52] <Nytram> Just a thought.
[21:52] <Exagone313> can anyone reply to my question please?
[21:53] <Exagone313> i want to create a ptr record for an ipv6 using bind9
[21:53] <Exagone313> how to do it please
[21:55] <Nytram> I have no idea what you're talking about but I googled your exact question and got loads of results, the first of which was this... http://rdns6.com/hostRecord
[22:04] <Exagone313> forget my question, i used he.net
[22:04] <Exagone313> thanks
[22:06] <frank_> Hello all
[22:06] <frank_> How is everyone doing?
[22:07] <frank_> is there anyone using ubuntu for everything that they do?
[22:07] <ThinkT510> i'm sure there are plenty that do
[22:07] <frank_> thats good
[22:08] <TiZ> malimbar: Thanks for your help; have a good day.
[22:09] <malimbar> TiZ, glad to be useful :)
[22:09] <frank_> does anyone have an issue with the screen going to sleep and not being able to get it back up?
[22:09] <frank_> usually i have to shut down
[22:09] <malimbar> frank_, that's weird. using default ubuntu?
[22:10] <frank_> using xubuntu
[22:10] <frank_> this computer is slow thats why
[22:10] <frank_> everything is working really well but when the screen goes black it won't come back on for some reason
[22:12] <frank_> i have just turned that feature off for now
[22:12] <malimbar> the feature being just to turn the screen off?
[22:12] <ash_m> if you download apticron do you need to set Unattended-Upgrade::Mail in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades ?
[22:12] <frank_> yes thats right
[22:12] <ash_m> frank_: who was that @?
[22:12] <frank_> using: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[22:13] <EriC^^> frank_: which vga?
[22:13] <goddard> i had my virtual hosts working fine and then I rebooted the VM and now nothing works but localhost
[22:13] <ash_m> frank_: ah, clearly not me
[22:13] <ash_m> :P
[22:13] <frank_> sorry guys i am getting things confused
[22:13] <frank_> it was for malimbar
[22:14] <malimbar> frank_, what have you done so far to troubleshoot? I'm pretty noobie myself, so googling away
[22:15] <frank_> malimbar, i did google for a bit but it didn't bother me that much.  All i did now was turn off put screen to sleep after xx min
[22:15] <GizWiz> Is it possible to install GUFW when I'm offline?
[22:15] <malimbar> frank_, have you messed with the graphics drivers at all?
[22:15] <ash_m> frank_: np :P
[22:15] <frank_> malimbar,  no sir
[22:15] <ThinkT510> !aptoncd | GizWiz
[22:16] <malimbar> frank_, I would try changing them - ie if you're using a proprietary one, then switch to a different version or the open source one
[22:16] <frank_> malimbar, thanks if it bothers me even more i'll try that
[22:16] <malimbar> frank_, also, what graphics card d oyou have? amd, nvidia, intel?
[22:17] <EriC^^> frank_: i have a similar issue coming from suspend using the fglrx-updates driver, on the open source one i dont have an issue, plus it runs cooler
[22:17] <frank_> malimbar, its on a laptop and i am not sure
[22:17] <EriC^^> frank_: type lspci | grep VGA
[22:17] <ash_m> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/automatic-updates.html doesn't make it clear if Unattended-Upgrade::Mail needs to be enabled when installing apticron
[22:18] <frank_> malimbar, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV380/M24 [Mobility Radeon X600]
[22:18] <frank_> EriC^^, thanks for your hlep
[22:19] <EriC^^> np
[22:19] <ash_m> Oops, that's old anyway; the up-to-date version doesn't specify that either though: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html
[22:20] <ash_m> it just says: "Another useful package is apticron. "
[22:20] <malimbar> yeah, thanks EriC^^. frank_, I'd open up the "additional drivers" utility and change your driver
[22:20] <frank_> malimbar, this laptop is from back when the dinosaurs use to live on earth
[22:20] <ash_m> It doesn't really say if "Unattended-Update::Mail" is still required if you're using apticron
[22:22] <frank_> malimbar, thanks :)
[22:22] <malimbar> hope it helps
[22:22] <frank_> malimbar, that utility does not find any additional drivers
[22:22] <malimbar> darn
[22:22] <frank_> malimbar, i am good though, everything is running very very fast with xubuntu
[22:22] <frank_> malimbar,  i am glad i switched to this window manager
[22:23] <malimbar> really? on a dinosaur? well color me impressed :).
[22:23] <OerHeks> frank_, ati 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx are no longer supported by the ATI driver, use the standard driver in ubuntu.
[22:23] <OerHeks> !ati
[22:23] <GuntherForce> ?
[22:23] <GuntherForce> thanks
[22:24] <frank_> OerHeks, thats what i have done :)
[22:24] <GuntherForce> I am super new.
[22:24] <frank_> GuntherForce, i am also new
[22:26] <GuntherForce> NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GT 630 OEM] (rev a1)
[22:27] <ash_m> to clarify it should say one of the following: (1) "Notifications can be received by configuring /Unattended-Upgrade::Mail/ and/or installing the package /apticron/" (2) "A useful package that can be installed after configuring /Unattended-Upgrade::Mail/ is /apticron/" (3) "Or consider another useful package, /apticron/ instead"
[22:28]  * WLM is away: In a super important meeting with my friends at the Illuminati
[22:28] <etronik> hi all, ehats the situation with Adobe Flash player ? how to updae under ubuntu ?
[22:28] <frank_> thanks everyone.  Have a good day
[22:28] <k1l_> !away | WLM
[22:28] <daftykins> etronik: you can't, it's pretty much dead. you can either install chrome with pepperflash, or attempt a pepperflash wrapper for firefox. or, uninstall flash and use HTML5 in firefox
[22:29] <ash_m> k1l_: I get an noisy away nick, but what's a noisy away message?
[22:29] <etronik> daftykins, you mean it's dead... for Firefox ? ou Ubuntu in general ?
[22:29] <etronik> daftykins, you mean it's dead... for Firefox ? ou Ubuntu in general ?
[22:29] <TrivialGravitas> Top says I'm using 1.7 gigs of memory just to turn the machine on, but ntohing seems to be taking that much
[22:29] <etronik> pepperflash ? what the heck is that ?
[22:29] <k1l_> ash_m: the /me message script from that user
[22:30] <ash_m> k1l_: ooo
[22:30] <ash_m> k1l_: is that what you call that
[22:30] <ash_m> so
[22:30]  * ash_m is doing something
[22:30] <ash_m> is a "message"
[22:30] <ash_m> ?
[22:30] <daftykins> etronik: Flash on Linux is dead, it's meant to only be getting security updates. this has been true for years. Pepper flash is Google's own maintained flash player for chrome
[22:31] <k1l_> ash_m: please keep this channel for ubuntu support only. if you have questions regarding the guidelines you can ask in #ubuntu-ops
[22:31] <etronik> daftykins, but... current version of Flash should still work with most stuff no ? I mean... I'm maintaining PC for my MUM, I wanna keep it simple...
[22:31] <ash_m> k1l_: sorry, I felt it was just general irc lingo that wasn't here nor there; I won't pester any further
[22:32] <ash_m> k1l_: thanks for helping me understand the message anyway :)
[22:32] <daftykins> etronik: sorry, Adobe ruined that when they refused to keep supporting Flash - and in some peoples opinions, Mozilla ruined it by refusing to switch to supporting non-NPAPI plugins. install chrome for her if you want an easy option.
[22:33] <etronik> daftykins, ok, chrome it will be, thanks
[22:33] <ash_m> anyone have any input with my concern about https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html ?
[22:33] <daftykins> ash_m: what concern?
[22:34] <daftykins> ash_m: i don't think anyone here can edit that, so there's not much point unless you can contact the writer
[22:34] <ash_m> daftykins: I see, well do you happen to know the answer?
[22:35] <etronik> daftykins, btw is it Chrome or Chromium ?
[22:35] <ash_m> daftykins: is it Unattended-Upgrade::Mail && apticron or Unattended-Upgrade::Mail || apticron
[22:35] <idundidit> etronik, chrome
[22:35] <daftykins> ash_m: well i'm guessing you're arguing about the details of that page, but since i can't edit it - there's no point me looking
[22:35] <temhaa> hello
[22:35] <shenko> ohey guys
[22:35] <temhaa> I have  question
[22:35] <shenko> shoot
[22:36] <daftykins> etronik: chrome for the google proprietary edition, afaiui
[22:36] <temhaa> ı removed bin directory
[22:36] <ash_m> daftykins: no, I'm just asking what the configuration is supposed to be; the clarity of the documenation is an annecdote
[22:36] <temhaa> sudo rm -rf /bin
[22:36] <temhaa> how can I solve this problem
[22:36] <temhaa> I am sorry
[22:36] <temhaa> I am using ubuntu 14.04
[22:36] <daftykins> ash_m: then no, not familiar with any topics to do with mail.
[22:36] <daftykins> temhaa: you can't, reinstall
[22:36] <kostkon> temhaa, reinstall?
[22:36] <ash_m> daftykins: is there a better channel for that/
[22:36] <OerHeks> temhaa, reinstall i guess.
[22:36] <ash_m> daftykins: ?*
[22:37] <k1l_> temhaa: i vote for "reinstall", too
[22:37] <daftykins> ash_m: #ubuntu-server maybe. ease off the constant highlighting now please.
[22:37] <nicomachus> hey guys, I was in here trying to get SSH working earlier. I have a crossover cable now so I'm trying this method: http://askubuntu.com/questions/22835/how-to-network-two-ubuntu-computers-using-ethernet-without-a-router
[22:37] <Bashing-om> temhaa: (RE-)install. You will never get that system directory back in working order with full confidence .
[22:37] <ash_m> daftykins: sorry, I am not sure what that means... highlighting = starting out with your name? or addressing the topic?
[22:37] <nicomachus> but I keep getting "destination host unreachable" when I try to ping the other PC.
[22:37] <shenko> let's all do "sudo rm -rf /bin" to help reproduce "temhaa" issue on our computers? lol (its a joke don't!!!)
[22:38] <kostkon> !joke
[22:38] <daftykins> ash_m: hassling me. like just then.
[22:38] <GuntherForce> like me
[22:38] <jonne> heh, i thought making that joke was insta-ban on this channel
[22:38] <daftykins> it should be
[22:38] <daftykins> shenko: grow up.
[22:39] <ash_m> I truely mean no disrespect or to irritate or annoy anyone. I'm sorry if I did; and appreciate the help :)
[22:40] <nicomachus> crap, what's the command to stop a ping again?
[22:40] <daftykins> ctrl+C
[22:40] <daftykins> but that's not a command really
[22:40] <nicomachus> ruh roh
[22:40]  * nicomachus changed that to "copy" already
[22:41] <nicomachus> oh well, I just closed the terminal.
[22:41] <daftykins> wat
[22:41] <temhaa> another way_
[22:41] <daftykins> temhaa: you have no options. reinstall.
[22:41] <temhaa> cp -rf another_host:/bin this_host:/bin
[22:41] <temhaa> ?
[22:41] <daftykins> no
[22:42] <daftykins> it'd have to be an identical version, in an identical package state, then you'd have to go through and set identical permissions. only you won't be able to run the programs to set those permissions, since you wiped out the binaries...
[22:42] <daftykins> so it's reinstall time.
[22:42] <daftykins> temhaa: take it as fact when 5+ of us tell you the same thing :)
[22:42] <ejr> Hey everyone, I need help upgrading libv8 on ubuntu 14.04
[22:43] <temhaa> daftykins: off:((
[22:43] <teward> ejr: 'upgrade' is vague
[22:43] <daftykins> temhaa: well, don't run crazy commands in future :D
[22:43] <ejr> I've gone through most of https://developers.google.com/v8/build, but I don't know which files to put where after compiling
[22:44] <ejr> teward: I need V8 version greater than 3.17 to install pecl's v8js-beta
[22:45] <temhaa> daftykins: I know but I should solve this problem without reinstall(;
[22:46] <daftykins> temhaa: it wouldn't be worth the effort. boot live media, chroot, transplant files, check permissions... i'd rather reinstall
[22:47] <cesdo> hi everyone
[22:47] <Vge> hillo
[22:47] <teward> ejr: well you're sorta out of luck - no Ubuntu version of libv8 is > 3.14, and that's the case in Debian as well.  You may have to downlaod an updated upstream version and upgrade manually, building the software.  or by finding someone with a ppa with it (but PPAs are not supported here)
[22:49] <ejr> teward: Yea I went through all the current packages of libv8 last night. I already compiled it to the native platform, but I have no idea which files I'm supposed to move, or where I should move them to get pecl's v8js-beta up and running. I'll keep fishing for IRC channels
[22:50] <Exagone313> hello, i want to edit my dns servers. i edited /etc/network/interfaces but it does not work. can you help me please?
[22:51] <Exagone313> i wand to do it permanently
[22:51] <daftykins> Exagone313: purge 'resolvconf'
[22:51] <Exagone313> ?
[22:51] <daftykins> what's so tough to follow about that?
[22:51] <Exagone313> if i restart the connection i have the default dns
[22:52] <Exagone313> not my config
[22:52] <daftykins> yes, purge 'resolvconf' (the package) then either keep the interfaces DNS settings, or enter them in /etc/resolv.conf
[22:52] <daftykins> simples.
[22:52] <Exagone313> i want a perment config
[22:53] <Exagone313> parmanent
[22:53] <Exagone313> damn
[22:53] <daftykins> yes, do what i just said
[22:54] <Exagone313> is there another solution? i don't want to remove any apckage
[22:54] <daftykins> why?
[22:54] <daftykins> this is the way to do it, i do it all the time with ubuntu server installs
[22:55] <OerHeks> Exagone313, how does editting /etc/resolv.conf remove or add any package?
[22:55] <Exagone313> he said to remove resolvconf package
[22:55] <daftykins> nah i'm saying purge resolvconf because it'll override DNS otherwise.
[22:55] <Exagone313> resolv.conf does not save changes
[22:55] <daftykins> Exagone313: yes, because of resolvconf!
[22:55] <daftykins> purge it, then edit!
[22:55] <daftykins> how many times must i say this?
[22:56] <OerHeks> daftykins +1
[22:56] <daftykins> though bear in mind that if you purge it, edit resolv.conf, then reboot - i've seen it still edit the contents once more before a permanent edit stays
[23:04] <malimbar> really? on a dinosaur? well color me impressed :).
[23:04] <malimbar> oops, ignore that
[23:10] <murphyslaw_> Hi, is there a way to specify the mirror to use for installation through a boot option such as with pxelinux?
[23:14] <OerHeks> murphyslaw_, not that i know, just do not check updates and 3th party stuff so you install from the iso only. after install & reboot, you can choose mirror in software sources.
[23:14] <murphyslaw_> Oerheks: fair enough, thanks!
[23:15] <OerHeks> have fun
[23:19] <murphyslaw_> Oerheks: we have our own internal mirror, so i was hoping i could speed up installs by pointing it there right from the start. maybe i can use something like cloudinit to force the installer to go look for it someplace else
[23:20] <OerHeks> murphyslaw_, same answer, i guess, i see  no option to change mirror during install, correct me if i am wrong
[23:28] <luke777scope> how can i do for compiling a linux kernel?
[23:29] <ikonia> it's not a 2 minute question
[23:29] <ikonia> luke777scope: why do you need to compile the kernel ?
[23:29] <ikonia> luke777scope: ubuntu packages stable kernels for you
[23:29] <luke777scope> I just wanna to test how it works
[23:30] <et09> is there a gtk/qt terminal that's as good as urxvt, give or take?
[23:30] <luke777scope> I am a C programmer
[23:30] <ikonia> luke777scope: you'll need to read the docs then
[23:30] <ikonia> that will get you started
[23:30] <luke777scope> yes, I that true but I am looking anyone that have experience in the kernel's components
[23:31] <ikonia> luke777scope: I do
[23:31] <ikonia> what is your question
[23:31] <ikonia> and how does it relate to ubuntu
[23:31] <luke777scope> I am try to use a ubuntu distro with driver added to this distro
[23:32] <luke777scope> the reason is
[23:32] <luke777scope> I wanna use that distro
[23:32] <ikonia> what distro ?
[23:32] <luke777scope> ubuntu for a beagleboard project
[23:32] <luke777scope> beagleboard is like rasperry pi
[23:32] <b-p> hi, help pls! i am spammed with postfix login attempts. i use fail2ban and its added the attackers ip to the hosts.deny, but it can try to connect after denied. it is possible to my postfix or ubuntu cant read or process the hosts.deny file??
[23:32] <ikonia> so you'll need to talk to that project support
[23:32] <ikonia> and keep in mind that not all x86 components can be ported to arm
[23:33] <luke777scope> exactly
[23:33] <luke777scope> ikonia
[23:33] <luke777scope> that is the problem
[23:33] <ikonia> thats is a problem the beagle board project needs to pick up
[23:33] <ikonia> not this channel
[23:33] <luke777scope> :S
[23:34] <ikonia> b-p: are you using tcp_wrappers ?
[23:34] <luke777scope> yes
[23:34] <ikonia> yes to what ?
[23:35] <b-p> ikonia sorry, but i dont know it :(
[23:35] <ikonia> b-p: ok - thats why it's not working then
[23:35] <ikonia> (I would assume)
[23:35] <ikonia> hosts.allow/deny is a configuration for tcp wrappers
[23:35] <b-p> my postfix is running as a process
[23:35] <ikonia> if you're not using tcp wrappers, fail2ban is not doing anything to stop connections
[23:36] <b-p> so i need to rewrite the fail2ban configuration to not add a line to hosts.deny, it adds an iptables entry?
[23:36] <ikonia> you can swap to ip tables or configure tcp wrappers
[23:38] <marsje> I have a system to has stopped booting properly. Once booted, I can log in, but the mount command gives an empty list and df gives me "cannot read table of mounted files systems"
[23:38] <Guest98456> if one installs a program using apt-get where are some of the places where system wide (non user) settings might be save to
[23:38] <marsje> also I see messages apparing about the disk being full
[23:39] <ikonia> marsje: if the disk is full it can't write to /etc/mtab and you get the error you are seeing
[23:39] <ikonia> marsje: clear down some space
[23:39] <ikonia> Guest98456: depends on the applicaiton
[23:40] <Guest98456> ikoni1a this case would be xmonad a X Desktop
[23:40] <ikonia> Guest98456: you'll find them in your home directory
[23:40] <ikonia> Guest98456: what was the package name you installed exaclty
[23:40] <marsje> ikonia: ok, I thought I checked free space, but I will check again
[23:40] <marsje> ikonia: sinc ethere are 3 partitions involved
[23:41] <Guest98456> xmonad
[23:42] <ikonia> !info xmonad
[23:42] <ikonia> Guest98456: the package should be documented on packages.ubuntu.com
[23:42] <ikonia> Guest98456: you'll find config files in your home directory, normally in a . file or a .directory
[23:42] <Guest98456> ikoia ill check it out thanks
[23:43] <marsje> ikonia: what if there is plenty of space available... only /boot was full, but I cleaned that up already
[23:43] <Guest98456> ikonia thats where I made a custom config but I wanted to find the default configs. Ill check out the docs
[23:43] <marsje> still not working
[23:43] <ikonia> marsje: then you wouldn't be getting an "out of space" error
[23:43] <Bashing-om> marsje: -> df -h , df -i , cd / , sudo du -sx * | sort -n <-. Will give good indications of what is .
[23:46] <marsje> ikonia: / 1.3G free, /home 47G free, /boot 65M free
[23:46] <marsje> Bashing-om: it will find big files
[23:46] <marsje> ?
[23:46] <OerHeks> marsje, remove old kernels.
[23:47] <b-p> it works ty ikonia
[23:47] <b-p> by
[23:48] <marsje> OerHeks: just did that, now 65M free instead of 223K on /boot (100M total)
[23:48] <Bashing-om> marsje: ^, and 'df' shows disk usage, the 'i' shows inodes . 'du' shows the big files.
[23:49] <marsje> Bashing-om: so it could be that I still seem to have plenty of free space, but not enough icodes?
[23:49] <marsje> inodes
[23:49] <Bashing-om> marsje: Possible yes, that is why the 'df -i' is included . Look and see .
[23:50] <marsje> Bashing-om: it gives 0 for all values of the affected partition
[23:50] <marsje> Bashing-om: maybe because it's btrfs?
[23:51] <mrkirby153> Okay. So, my server isn't accepting mysql connections on port 3306 even though iptables has an accept rule
[23:51] <ikonia> mrkirby153: telnet to port 3306 see if there is anything listening
[23:51] <Lugal> Hi
[23:51] <Bashing-om> marsje: Maybe ??? .. can not say about btrfs. Never having used that file system type .
[23:51] <ikonia> btrfs makes it more complex
[23:51] <Lugal> what can be the readon that the sound is not working, and volume is set to 0 and I cant change it?
[23:52] <mrkirby153> ikonia, Connection refuesed
[23:52] <marsje> Bashing-om: total, used and free inodes are all 0
[23:52] <ikonia> mrkirby153: that suggests something is blocking it
[23:52] <ikonia> mrkirby153: rather than it's not listening
[23:52] <mrkirby153> ikonia, do you want my netstat stuff?
[23:52] <ikonia> not really
[23:53] <mrkirby153> iptabels?
[23:53] <ikonia> not really
[23:53] <ikonia> it's up to you to work through your connections
[23:53] <mrkirby153> Then how do I know what's blocking it?
[23:53] <Bashing-om> marsje: Do not know. Mine with ext4 : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133600/ .
[23:53] <ikonia> eg: drop iptables totally - test
[23:53] <craigbass1976> Anyone know if it's possible to tell if dd completed?  I've got an 11g file created, but there was a "broken pipe." I'm logged into box2 from box1, and box3 is doing the dd to ~/remote/ where ~/remote/ is actually a directory on box2 that's mounted up via sshfs.
[23:53] <ikonia> craigbass1976: you'll get a prompt back when it completes
[23:53] <ikonia> craigbass1976: if you got a broken pipe - it didn't complete
[23:54] <mrkirby153> ikonia, I think its becasue mysql is listening on <IP_ADDRESS>
[23:54] <ikonia> mrkirby153: thats very possible,
[23:54] <Bashing-om> craigbass1976: do -> man dd <- there are instruction in the page to see the sttus of dd .
[23:54] <ikonia> if you've not told to listen on external interfaces, how do you expect it to connect ?
[23:54] <toastee> http://askubuntu.com/questions/582806/no-audio-in-firefox-chrome-spotify-etc-on-ubuntu-14-04  <--- if anyone can help with my really weird audio issue i'd appreciate it
[23:54] <Bashing-om> status*
[23:55] <marsje> Bashing-om: yeah, my other partitions show normal values, but not the ones that are going wrong
[23:55] <craigbass1976> ikonia: how to I tell where the pipe broke?  Between 2 and 3, or between 1 and 2 ?  Is it just from the internet conking out a second?
[23:55] <ikonia> craigbass1976: you won't figure that out
[23:56] <mrkirby153> ikonia, do you know where the mysql config file is?
[23:56] <craigbass1976> ikonia: bah...  I'm screwed then unless I babysit the thing in person?
[23:56] <mrkirby153> so I can make it listen on all interfaces
[23:56] <gubers> hi, i can't install ubuntu 6.06
[23:56] <bekks> gubers: 6.06 is EOL.
[23:56] <ikonia> mrkirby153: bind-address
[23:56] <ikonia> mrkirby153: I strongly suggest you read the basic documentation
[23:57] <leptone> I'm on a mac using Ubuntu 12.04 with VirtualBox. how do I close and save this file like the video does at 3:00? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=590qB3cu9lY
[23:57] <gubers> how i can edit the sources?
[23:57] <ikonia> you don't
[23:57] <bekks> gubers: You dont. You install a supported release instead.
[23:57] <ikonia> you install a supported version
[23:57] <ikonia> then there is no need to edit the sources
[23:57] <gubers> bekks: i can't it is very old machine.
[23:58] <ubuntulivesorrow> gubers, why the need for 6.06?
[23:58] <bekks> gubers: And why exactly do you need 6.06, and why exactly cant you just use 12.04 or 14.04?
[23:58] <gubers> and i have very old system that support it.
[23:59] <gubers> the computer is veeeery old, at the past it wark fine with 6.06.
[23:59] <Bashing-om> gubers: Lubuntu : "Lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware." .
[23:59] <bekks> gubers: 6.06 is EOL. Did you try installing 12.04 at least?
