[00:00] <z1gz1g> Wilee if i had a working host os i would've done that lol
[00:00] <z1gz1g> And i disagree with this irc client. No tag option =\
[00:01] <wileee> z1gz1g, Ah, well without a real check, you have no evidence it is good is all, you would be thrown out of deh court. ;)
[00:01] <wileee> not saying it's the issue but there is a basic model; of checking
[00:02] <z1gz1g> Wileee, unless of course i can replicate the fault with media from another source.
[00:02] <wileee> z1gz1g, still would want hard data
[00:02] <cryptodan_laptop> LonelyDanbo: did that work
[00:03] <LonelyDanbo> what?
[00:03] <cryptodan_laptop> the steam download
[00:03] <LonelyDanbo> I guess. but steam won't run.
[00:04] <wileee> z1gz1g, I'm on your side, I just like a good scientific based inquiry when needed.
[00:04] <cryptodan_laptop> LonelyDanbo: any errors?
[00:04] <LonelyDanbo> yeah. Steam Error "OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display"
[00:05] <z1gz1g> Wilee, hey, cant prove a fault without evidence can yah?
[00:05] <cryptodan_laptop> LonelyDanbo: youll need to install your video card drivers
[00:05] <Berry> tgm4883: Hey, I'm the guy with the hard drive issue from earlier
[00:05] <LonelyDanbo> how was I running WoW in Wine but the damned Steam app won't run?
[00:05] <Berry> tgm4883: The hard drive issue is fixed, but I still have a flash drive issue
[00:06] <LonelyDanbo> how do you install video card drivers in linux?
[00:06] <cryptodan_laptop> LonelyDanbo: WoW uses DirectX not OpenGL
[00:06] <LonelyDanbo> yay. ok.
[00:06] <wileee> LonelyDanbo, Look in software & sources last tab for drivers available
[00:06] <cryptodan_laptop> LonelyDanbo: what computer do you have
[00:07] <LonelyDanbo> I don't remember my hardware.
[00:07] <LonelyDanbo> software & updates in settings?
[00:07] <wileee> LonelyDanbo, tyoe it in the dash
[00:08] <Berry> Actually, can anyone in general help with flash drives that can't be read?
[00:08] <z1gz1g> LonelyDanbo, when do you get rhe error?
[00:08] <LonelyDanbo> ah. it's "using NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.125 from nvideia-304
[00:08] <wileee> LonelyDanbo, If you can't even name the hardware, your gonna have problems here, just a heads jup.
[00:08] <LonelyDanbo> I get the error when I try to run Steam
[00:08] <wileee> up*
[00:08] <cryptodan_laptop> LonelyDanbo: try updating your driver to nvidia-331
[00:09] <z1gz1g> Installing now to see what happens lol
[00:09] <wileee> z1gz1g, Your arguments are really bad but good luck. ;)
[00:10] <LonelyDanbo> ok, thanks. it's applying changes.
[00:12] <xheart> hi
[00:12] <xheart> are there programs for ubuntu 14.04lts to check if i have malware?
[00:13] <xangua> xheart: why do you think you have malware?
[00:13] <xheart> after upgrading to 14.04lts i have to constant reconnect to my internet wifi
[00:13] <z1gz1g> Woo! Total lock up! Thats new.
[00:14] <xheart> i have to do this every 10 to 15mins of browsing the interent
[00:15] <xheart> i have noticed if i use this chat or a download from ubuntu servers i get no problem of connection but when i use mozilla or chrome that is where the issue starts
[00:16] <cryptodan_laptop> LonelyDanbo: remember to reboot
[00:16] <z1gz1g> Xheart, sounds like a new feature to me, but install clamav if you wanna do a virus scan
[00:16] <tgm4883> Berry: what flash drive issue?
[00:17] <xheart> can i download it from the terminal?
[00:17] <xheart> what is the command?
[00:17] <Berry> tgm4883: What?
[00:17] <Berry> tgm4883: They worked earlier both on an xp and the ubuntu
[00:18] <z1gz1g> Xheart, sudo apt-get install clamav i think
[00:18] <Ben64> Berry: plug flash drive in, then pastebin the output of "dmesg"
[00:20] <LonelyDanbo> I'm being told Steam doesn't work with kernel version 59 and I have to go back to 58
[00:20] <Berry> tgm4883: It was so big, the terminal cut part of it off.
[00:21] <xangua> z1gz1g: a virus scan of what? Windows virus?
[00:21] <cryptodan_laptop> LonelyDanbo: what kernel do you have
[00:21] <Berry> tgm4883: http://pastebin.com/Ggm4tSjH
[00:21] <LonelyDanbo> I don't remember
[00:21] <cfhowlett> LonelyDanbo, if so, you'll find that actually documented somewhere.  Do a search and rely less on "someone told me".
[00:22] <cryptodan_laptop> LonelyDanbo: type in a terminal uname -a and copy and paste the output here
[00:22] <tgm4883> cfhowlett: it's documented
[00:23] <LonelyDanbo> Linux [computer name] 3.11.0-18-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 18 21:11:14 UTC 2014 x86_64
[00:23] <tgm4883> LonelyDanbo: uh, you don't have the affected kernel
[00:23] <LonelyDanbo> bleh.
[00:23] <tgm4883> LonelyDanbo: so whoever told you that needs smacked up side the head
[00:23] <cryptodan_laptop> steam works fine for me on kernels 3.2 to 4.0.5
[00:24] <cfhowlett> tgm4883, I have #59 + steam.  WFM
[00:24] <LonelyDanbo> well my Wine is still broken.
[00:24] <cfhowlett> LonelyDanbo, unrelated
[00:24] <LonelyDanbo> well not broken, just broke some of my games for it.
[00:24] <tgm4883> cfhowlett: you have the affected kernel on 14.04 and it works for you?
[00:24] <LonelyDanbo> I'm so addled I can't keep track of all this stuff.
[00:25] <johnny_|_> Hi. How can I switch names of eth0 and eth1? I am using ubuntu 14.10. I found some old threads but I don't have any file in /etc/udev/rules.d/
[00:25] <cfhowlett> tgm4883, paste.ubuntu.com/11956721/
[00:26] <tgm4883> cfhowlett: that isn't the affected kernel :/
[00:26] <xheart> how do i run clamav?
[00:26] <tgm4883> cfhowlett: 3.13.0-59
[00:26] <cfhowlett> tgm4883, ah.  OK.  my mistake.
[00:26] <xheart> i download it
[00:27] <tgm4883> cfhowlett: no worries, but since you wanted documentation https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3936   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1479093
[00:27] <xheart> hi guys
[00:27] <cryptodan_laptop> tgm4883: I have used that kernel with steam just fine
[00:27] <xheart> how i run clamav?
[00:28] <xheart> i downloaded it
[00:28] <cfhowlett> !clamav | xheart
[00:28]  * tgm4883 sighs
[00:28] <tgm4883> cryptodan_laptop: and you are on 14.04?
[00:28] <cfhowlett> xheart, I believe it launches from the command line.
[00:28] <cryptodan_laptop> tgm4883: yes
[00:29] <tgm4883> cryptodan_laptop: and you're sure you ran it on that kernel?
[00:29] <cryptodan_laptop> tgm4883: yes I am positive
[00:29] <tgm4883> cryptodan_laptop: and you want a cookie?
[00:29] <xheart> i am sorry can you explain me?
[00:29] <wileee> !av | xheart
[00:30] <tgm4883> cryptodan_laptop: sorry to be like that, but honestly, I just posted documented bug reports that point at that.
[00:31] <cfhowlett> xheart, do NOT install from download.  install from software center.
[00:31] <cfhowlett> !info clamav | xheart
[00:32] <xheart> i am in the terminal but it is not downloading yet
[00:32] <xheart> nevermind 1%
[00:32] <cfhowlett> xheart, dude.  STOP.
[00:32] <cfhowlett> xheart, ok, so it's working?  keep going
[00:33] <wileee> xheart, Nothing you described indicates any need for a antivirus, this is a wild goose chase on a wifi issue.
[00:33] <xheart> hahaha i cancelled, should i continue?
[00:35] <johnny_|_> How can I switch names of eth0 and eth1? I am using ubuntu 14.10. I found some old threads but I don't have any file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ (sorry for repeat)
[00:36] <wileee> johnny_|_, You are eol on 14.10
[00:38] <johnny_|_> let's pretend i'm on 14.04 then
[00:38] <wileee> johnny_|_, You have no support here.
[00:39] <wileee> lets pretend I say this, because I actually care
[00:40] <wileee> !eol
[00:40] <cfhowlett> wileee, note: 14.10 = end of life.  end of life = no longer supported.  no longer supported = the only advice you will receive is "upgrade to a supported OS".
[00:40] <Gallomimia> whats the command to show the release?
[00:40] <Sa300be> hi every guys, i am new to ubuntu and like to learn linux, where do you suggest to start??
[00:40] <wileee> cfhowlett, your point is?

[00:41] <bazhang> !manual | Sa300be
[00:41] <bazhang> !rute | Sa300be  and this
[00:43] <wileee> cfhowlett, back to ignore for you, not worth even seeing your nick, nor being instructed on what I see you do yourself, grow up
[00:46] <zebaws> Hey guys! I am working on a sociology survey. Could anyone take 5 mins to fill it out for me? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19-HAIUfYP8H1F1xRS01NT6spkoMRphMyvzW5BBtCSJg/viewform?usp=send_form

[00:50] <rw5ok> hello there, I created an installer usb, but my bios rejects it saying 'missing operating system'..but when I view the usb contents, installer folders are all there. also the strange thing is that the usb doesnt appear in file manager until I mount it. normally it mounts automatically.
[00:50] <wileee> rw5ok, created how?
[00:51] <rw5ok> wileee, with the 'startup disk creator' of ubuntu
[00:54] <outfall> list
[00:55] <wileee> rw5ok, No issues before with this flash stick?
[00:55] <wileee> booting an install?
[00:56] <rw5ok> wileee, actually no. no-mounting used to happen with the OS that was previously installed on it
[00:56] <rw5ok> but the same usb auto-mounts when there is non-OS content in it
[00:59] <rw5ok> wileee, anyway, I changed the installer usb. trying with a new one :)
[01:00] <wileee> rw5ok, Good test, yeah, which one?
[01:00] <wileee> ah the usb
[01:01] <rw5ok> wileee, another OS could be a good way to test the usb, you mean?
[01:02] <rw5ok> that can be tried, too
[01:02] <wileee> rw5ok, I was thinking another usb loader, but also a si=um check, maybe a new partition table and partition, a sum check maybe.
[01:02] <wileee> sum*
[01:03] <rw5ok> wileee, as soon as I can get my hands on it, I will first learn what these are, then try to find out if the usb is ok :)
[01:04] <rw5ok> I mean more the checksum, I understand the rest :)
[01:05] <wileee> rw5ok, That is just my methodology based on knowing everything works here, it is a biased opinion.
[01:05] <wileee> !checksum | rw5ok tis should help
[01:05] <xheart> when running clamscan how i know it is running?
[01:06] <rw5ok> wileee, oh, thank you!
[01:06] <wileee> no prob
[01:06] <rw5ok> now I made the new installer. will try with this one..thank you for all your hints and help, wileee!

[01:15] <Bleakwar> Hello?
[01:15] <cfhowlett> Bleakwar, ask your ubuntu question
[01:18] <Bleakwar> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a computer that originally used windows xp but every time i get this error saying that it can't download metadata and therefore the iso
[01:18] <cfhowlett> Bleakwar, XP computer?  sounds like old hardware.  lubuntu loves old hardware.  use torrents.
[01:20] <Bleakwar> I trying to install ubuntu to a computer using a usb method and i use usb universal installer to turn the flash drive into a bootable drive, when i try to install it gives me a metadata error
[01:21] <wileee> Bleakwar, Are you using the mini net install?
[01:21] <wileee> !checksum | Bleakwar
[01:22] <Bleakwar> I'm using the default desktop  install
[01:23] <jjavah0lic> if you were to use the free windows 10 upgrade to split and add a ubuntu partition how would/should you go about doing that for best outcome?
[01:23] <wileee> Bleakwar, This is what release?
[01:23] <bbubbu> Can someone please help me get past this problem
[01:23] <bbubbu> error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:24] <cfhowlett> jjavah0lic, why would you even do that?  ubuntu can make its partitions.
[01:24] <theking> @martian
[01:24] <Bleakwar> 15.04 release
[01:24] <wileee> jjavah0lic, Windows cant build a ext type partition, leave an unallocated space for ubuntu.
[01:24] <jjavah0lic> just bought a new laptop with windows with free upgrade
[01:25] <cfhowlett> !dualboot | jjavah0lic, install windows first.  then install ubuntu.
[01:25] <wileee> !uefi | jjavah0lic Check this as well, confirm your setup.
[01:25] <bbubbu> Should I do something like "sudo apt-get install libcurl" ?
[01:25] <cfhowlett> jjavah0lic, no word yet on how linux friendly windows 10 is ...
[01:26] <Melio> we will find out in several short days
[01:26] <theking> @Andy Weir
[01:26] <bbubbu> I mean actually I tried that and it doesn't help at all
[01:28] <Bleakwar> oh, by the way my old computer is currently using beta windows 10, i want to replace it with ubuntu
[01:29] <Melio> Bleakwar, so burn an iso and have at it
[01:29] <Melio> do you need assistance,
[01:30] <wileee> jjavah0lic, If you plan to upgrade the windows I would get it all done and backed up and than install ubuntu.
[01:30] <Melio> generic first step, backup your stuff
[01:31] <wileee> jjavah0lic, Make a recovery disk in windows if you don't have an install disk, manufacturers generally will give you one cheap, or MS.
[01:32] <erik__> hola
[01:32] <Bleakwar> it came up with the error, cannot download the metalink and therefore the iso
[01:32] <erik__> alooo
[01:32] <cfhowlett> !es | erik__,
[01:33] <erik__> gracias
[01:34] <Bleakwar> my question is do i have to be connected to internet to finish the install?
[01:34] <cfhowlett> Bleakwar, no
[01:36] <Bleakwar> sigh, i though that was the answer, i've installed lubuntu to my netbook before it died, it didn't need it etheir
[01:37] <Melio> I dual boot, it's pretty simple to do if you know your configuration, have some experience in understanding files, partitions ect..
[01:38] <Melio> ubuntu is a fantastic os for detecting pretty much all your hardware, and works better for wifi ect.. then windows does out of the box
[01:38] <treeprogram> Hi, I'm a relative Ubuntu newbie, and I'm trying to apply the following: to fix a similar problem I'm having with my Asus Zenbook. However, I don't know where the file mentioned can be found. Any help?
[01:38] <treeprogram> the following: http://askubuntu.com/questions/587063/battery-indicator-always-says-using-battery-power-even-when-plugged-in-asus
[01:38] <Melio> what's the file named
[01:38] <treeprogram> specifically, "The culprit is here, inside method FBST (called inside _BST)"
[01:39] <treeprogram> from the askubuntu answer
[01:39] <treeprogram> here's the source: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Battery-Driver/issues/7#issuecomment-53060956
[01:40] <Melio> someone mentioned in the thread a newer kernel may fix this
[01:40] <treeprogram> " Thanks to ACPIDebug, I hunt bit inside my DSDT, to find where is define fCurrentStatus. As you pointed me on _BST, it helps..."
[01:40] <Melio> have you tried a newer kernel
[01:40] <treeprogram> Melio: not yet, as the solution shutt1e mentioned seems quite easy, if I can find the file
[01:41] <orellabac> guys, how to make changes to synclient from CLI permanent?
[01:41] <jjavah0lic> just os I have this right there is an option in the ubuntu install to resize the ntfs partition?
[01:43] <Bleakwar> I think i figured out what the problem was, i think the usb boot installer wasn't up to date and started looking for the wrong iso name
[01:44] <cfhowlett> jjavah0lic, gparted is the usual partition resize tool and yes, it addresses ntfs partitions.  note: if you use it, next time you boot windows it will complain and demand you run /chkdsk
[01:45] <Auctus> what are these "features" firefox keeps talking about, never had unity before, what do they do? Youtube for example, do i wanna install some features
[01:45] <jjavah0lic> but no real damage is done to the windows partition?
[01:45] <cfhowlett> Auctus open firefox.  go to firefox information page.
[01:46] <cfhowlett> jjavah0lic, *cautiously* no.  but again: windows 10 may/may not be linux friendly.  My experience is with Win7
[01:49] <Bleakwar> so now to copy the iso to another flashdrive to give the program something to find
[01:52] <wileee> Bleakwar, If you click the update on install, you have to have net access. Careful with conclusions here and just following them.
 I think i figured out what the problem was, i think the usb boot installer wasn't up to date and started looking for the wrong iso name  This makes no sense is all
[01:55] <Guest88269> hi - i want to mention a big fail on ubuntu, which i will never use again. I installed ubuntu 14.4 LTS  on a windows machine, with 2 internal harddrives mounted. Chose the 'install side-by-side windows. The damn OS overwrite and wiped out my secondary hard drive by default. This should not have happened. you guys suck.
[01:55] <wileee> Bleakwar, Never use the usb loader as your download, you want that iso to test, use as a tool....etc.
[01:56] <orellabac> synclient is used to change the area of virtual button on touchpads. But I can't get it to store the changes permanently. Need help pls.
[01:56] <Bashing-om> Guest88269: Reported : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1265192 .
[01:57] <Bleakwar> Universal-USB-Installer-<IP_ADDRESS> i used this to turn my flash drive into a boot drive to install ubuntu and in the error log it showed that it was looking for 14.10, it was looking for the wrong iso
[01:57] <Guest88269> downloaded version hours ago - i really hope Ubuntu disappears and anyone who supports it -loses a harddrive full of data due to idiots incompetence.
[01:58] <tgm4883> Wow, such insight
[01:59] <wileee> Bleakwar, You should not be downloading that way is all.
[01:59] <cfhowlett> tgm4883, I understand his anger ... but seems he wanted to vent/rant, not seek a solution.   I would be mad too. Do you have a backup to restore from?
[02:00] <wileee> long gone
[02:01] <Bleakwar> I've been downloading the iso from the web, and selecting the iso in my local files, to use when i use the flashdrive to boot from
[02:02] <wileee> Bleakwar, with the local iso clicked, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[02:02] <lkthomas> anyone running latest kernel 3.19 on desktop with nvidia card driver? seems dkms failed to build
[02:03] <Bleakwar> oh, i also tried to mount the iso using windows 10 and just loading the iso as a virtual disk
[02:03] <Bleakwar> it seems to be working
[02:05] <Bleakwar> nevermind, it didn't
[02:06] <tgm4883> lkthomas: I am, but I literally just installed this OS
[02:06] <Bleakwar> I'll try this way, wish me luck.
[02:07] <Bleakwar> I mean your way.
[02:07] <wileee> Bleakwar, which is?
[02:07] <arooni-mobile> hey everyone . considering buying a SSD to upgrade my lenovo t420.  options look like MSATA drive but its only SATA II, and replacing my 2.5" drive with a SSD (this is a SATA III interface).  obviously msata would be easier but it looks like you only get half the speeds you do on SATA III... what are your thoughts?
[02:08] <lkthomas> tgm4883, I see, the nvidia binary build failed
[02:08] <Bleakwar> using the link you posted
[02:09] <kokut> Hi, anyone knows an aplication for comparing two text files ?
[02:09] <kokut> line by line?
[02:09] <wileee> Bleakwar, you have to point the app at the iso and be sure the local iso is checked.
[02:10] <wileee> Bleakwar, If you have another fail check the sum of all that usb and iso
[02:10] <ablest1980> how do i change
[02:10] <ablest1980> ablest1980@ablestx-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC:~$
[02:10] <ablest1980> to
[02:10] <Bleakwar> okay, i'll retry that.
[02:10] <ablest1980> ablest1980@ablest1980-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC:~$
 Have you tried using diff?
[02:11] <kokut> monostone: which one is better, diff or merge?
[02:11] <kokut> monostone: or merge
[02:12] <kokut> monostone: Meld*
 diff does what you want
 try: diff -u file1 file2
[02:13] <kokut> monostone: no man i need a gui
[02:13] <kokut> files are extremely different
[02:13] <Bleakwar> ??? I don't understand but this flashdrive is 32gb without formatting
 Sorry, don't know any file comparison tool with GUI.
[02:14] <wileee> Bleakwar, formatting does not change the size overall.
[02:15] <ablest1980> i want to change ablest1980@ablestx-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC:~$ ablest1980@ablest1980-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC:~$
[02:15] <wileee> overall size, to be clearer Bleakwar
[02:15] <kokut> monostone: Meld is perfect for what i need
[02:16] <kokut> ty anyways
[02:17] <monostone> kokut: Sure thing, I just remembered "xxdiff", but haven't used it. its a GUI based compare,merge tool for files and folders.
[02:17] <ablest1980> how do i change my hostname?
[02:17] <Bleakwar> what i mean is that the number on the flash drive says 32gb but it never says more than 29.8 gb on the computer
[02:18] <wileee> Bleakwar, different measurement model usually, 1000mb is a gig to some 1024 is others
[02:18] <wileee> or data on the drive
[02:18] <wileee> if formatted
[02:19] <Bashing-om> ablest1980: Rdit 2 files - /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname .
[02:19] <Auctus> storage is 1000mb=gig all the time now, thanks to marketing, its crap :p
[02:19] <code__> change host name /etc/hostname
[02:20] <Bleakwar> i understand that, marketing wants to tell you it's gb using less because it's cheaper, but once formatted it's a bit less.
[02:21] <Bleakwar> tounge tied
[02:22] <Bleakwar> i understand the concept, that's what i mean to get across.
[02:26] <mustmodify> This is absurd.  ( I know, use a template, I just got handed this website using frameset and I want to get benchmarks before I start fixing things.) Can you do multiline replacement with sed?
[02:26] <mustmodify> I guess I could just do "s/</html>/`cat file`" ... or however that works.
[02:27] <Bleakwar> this installer says it supports ubuntu 14.10 but nothing about 15.04
[02:28] <wileee> Bleakwar, Have you recognized the local iso box I keep mentioning?
[02:29] <wileee> and how to point the app at your iso?
[02:29] <Bleakwar> yeah, i installed using that the first time, and the second, and this time (the third)
[02:30] <wileee> Bleakwar, Not a clear answer, at least for me, two questions
[02:31] <wileee> Bleakwar, Anyway, there are a handful of usb loaders you can use in windows. I'm done at this point
[02:31] <Bleakwar> Yes i got what you've been telling me.
[02:32] <Bleakwar> I'm sorry that i've been difficult to help
[02:32] <Bashing-om> mustmodify: Tutorial:http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html .
[02:33] <wileee> Bleakwar, I would only say, if I asked how tall you were I would expect an exact measurement. ;)
[02:33] <Bleakwar> lol, i actually don't know the awnser on that one.
[02:34] <wileee> Bleakwar, Than you would not give a vague answer would you?
[02:34] <Bleakwar> I would say that i just don't know.
[02:35] <wileee> Bleakwar, if it was important you would measure, is this install important?
[02:35] <wileee> is our time important ;)
[02:36] <wileee> we're not paid here we are volunteering
[02:37] <wileee> not a big deal, it is your install, you will get it done at some point ;)
[02:37] <Bleakwar> yeah, i'm helping my mom by installing ubuntu to her computer for her, helping is important to me i just don't have good skills at communicationg with others.
[02:37] <cfhowlett> Bleakwar, you're a good son.  :)
[02:37] <cfhowlett> !cookie | Bleakwar
[02:38] <wileee> Bleakwar, That's alright, in the end we want to see you succeed.
[02:38] <Bleakwar> thanks, but yeah, i am telling the program to use the local iso to install to the flashdrive.
[02:39]  * wileee loves passive aggressive behavior expressed, so lack of development
[02:39] <Bleakwar> ???
[02:39] <wileee> Bleakwar, not you
[02:39] <Bleakwar> oh, okay.
[02:40] <woody_> http://t.co/xnG9uMSK2s
[02:40] <Bleakwar> okay, it finished installing to the flashdrive, now to try and use the flashdrive to install to the computer
[02:44] <agent_white> Evenin' folks
[02:44] <Bleakwar> I've confirmed the problem, wubi keeps looking for a 14.10 iso
[02:45] <cfhowlett> Bleakwar, wubi?  wubi is the worst install idea on a long list of ideas.  it's not supported and it WILL BREAK your ubuntu 14.04+         DO NOT WUBI
[02:45] <xangua> Bleakwar: the problem is wubi, don't use WUBI
[02:46] <cfhowlett> !wubi | Bleakwar
[02:46] <cfhowlett> Bleakwar, your options:  windows + virtualbox + ubuntu (well lubuntu)      2.  dualboot
[02:47] <Bleakwar> oh, okay, I'll try to boot from the flashdrive then.
[02:48] <lee_> 有人在吗？
[02:48] <cfhowlett> !cn | Lee-
[02:49] <lee_> HELLO WORLD
[02:50] <cfhowlett> lee_ ask your ubuntu question
[02:51] <Bleakwar> when i try to boot from the flashdrive it leaves the screen blank with a cmd cursor blinking in the top left and i can't do anything.
[02:51] <cfhowlett> Bleakwar, this is on your xp computer?
[02:51] <Bleakwar> Yes
[02:52] <cfhowlett> Bleakwar, old hardware. use lubuntu not ubuntu
[02:52] <cfhowlett> !lubuntu | Bleakwar
[02:53] <Bleakwar> i'm guessing it's just a problem with the way the bios starts?
[02:53] <elev34> hello there, I just made a clean install. but I cannot open my encrypted disk. I get this message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11957276/
[02:53] <Bleakwar> I'll install lubuntu just asking.
[02:53] <cfhowlett> Bleakwar, not necessarily.
[02:53] <elev34> I mean, the disk doesnt open in the new install even though the passwords are correct.
[02:54] <elev34> I ran update-upgrade, too. is it because something is still missing in the new install?
[02:54] <Bleakwar> okay, i'm guessing because this is a computer i just rebuilt this morning.
[02:54] <agent_white> elev34: Is "cryptsetup" installed?
[02:54] <elev34> agent_white, do I need to install this separately?
[02:54] <agent_white> elev34: "Failed to execute child process "cryptsetup" (No such file or directory)"
[02:55] <agent_white> elev34: Try running `sudo apt-get install cryptsetup`
[02:55] <elev34> agent_white, I saw this notice, but I thought it was an abnormal situation rather than a missing part..because I thought it was a natural part of ubuntu
[02:55] <elev34> now installing it indeed
[02:56] <elev34> will try again when install is done..hope it works
[02:56] <agent_white> elev34: Mmm it could be? I doubt it though.  Attempting to install an already installed program doesn't hurt a thing though.
[02:56] <elev34> no, no, it is indeed running an install..so apparently it wasnt installed already
[02:57] <agent_white> Aye! Good. I betcha that'll be the fix.
[02:57] <elev34> agent_white, yes, solved...thank you very much!..phew!..
[02:58] <agent_white> elev34: Cheers :)
[02:58] <elev34> :))
[02:58] <Bleakwar> could someone throw me the link for lubuntu?
[02:58] <cfhowlett> !lubuntu | Bleakwar
[02:58] <agent_white> Bleakwar: lubunu.net  ?
[02:59] <Bleakwar> thanks.
[03:01] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu .
[03:01] <Bleakwar> i've spent two days customizing computers and most of today trying to put a os on it.
[03:02] <Bleakwar> thankyou all
[03:02] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: I feel for you, I also still recall my 1st install .
[03:03] <Bleakwar> this still took less time than it did my first install
[03:04] <Bleakwar> a whole week on my netbook trying to get it to use lubuntu.
[03:04] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: Once you have done a couple of ubuntu installs, only takes 20 minutes - good internet connectivity.
[03:05] <Bleakwar> I'm also going to keep a spare flashdrive with lubuntu installed to it, i used to use it to bypass loging in on school computers
[03:05] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: Also, ubuntu - If it is difficult, you are doing something wrong .
[03:07] <Bleakwar> yeah, my problem was that was trying to install using wubi, and it was looking for 14.10
[03:07] <wileee> Bleakwar, I suspected wubi was involved.
[03:07] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: We have been watching, we catch your back side. :)
[03:08] <wileee> ubuntu should install however lubuntu will be quicker
[03:08] <Bleakwar> when trying to install ubuntu my screen remains blank so i'm going to try lubuntu
[03:09] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | Bleakwar
[03:09] <kuato> Hi guys, quick question about netatalk/afp share. I am running elementarty os (ubuntu) and this comes preloaded with some form of afp/netatalk as I am able to connect to my server right out of the bag, However what would be the best wat to automount this afp share with password credential, should it be added as a line to the fstab entry ? .
[03:11] <awtempler> Anyone use Shiny Server?
[03:13] <bodhi_zazen> kuato, I am goinng to guess elementary OS is off topic here, just as ubuntu would be i n#debian
[03:15] <awtempler> Anyone familiar with Shiny-Server on Ubuntu??
[03:15] <zero> 123
[03:15] <zero> hello
[03:15] <Guest61543> hello
[03:16] <Guest61543> you ren ma ?
[03:16] <wileee> Guest61543, Tell the channel your support need.
[03:17] <Bleakwar> "Phoenix award bios cmos" this is apparently my os chipset
[03:19] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: ?? I run Phoenix Award bios on this box .
[03:19] <johnny_> ?
[03:19] <Guest61543>  ？？？
[03:19] <Guest61543> how are you !
[03:20] <kuato> bodhi_zazen: You could be right, I merely stated that in case this is an edition as I cant remember if ubuntu comes preloaded with those same tools also without an apt-get. just wondering the best way to perma-mount a share in ubuntu./
[03:20] <histo> guanophobic: what?
[03:20] <histo> guanophobic: sorry wrong user
[03:21] <Bleakwar> sigh, this old emachine is so troublesome
[03:21] <histo> Bleakwar: did you try the nomodeset thing?
[03:22] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: Old hardware, lubuntu will make your life much easier . How much ram is installed ?
[03:22] <Bleakwar> I don't know what that is.
[03:22] <histo> Bleakwar:
[03:23] <histo> !nomodeset | Bleakwar
[03:23] <linocisco> hi all
[03:23] <Bleakwar> 4gb of ram @bashing
[03:23] <histo> linocisco: hello
[03:23] <jak2000> how to change the resolv.conf permanently i am change and when restart resolv.conf is empty
[03:24] <histo> jak2000: what are you using to connect to the network?
[03:24] <jak2000> cabled
[03:24] <histo> jak2000: is this a full desktop system?
[03:24] <jak2000> really its a virtual machine
[03:24] <histo> jak2000: but does it have a desktop with network manager?
[03:25] <histo> jak2000: In network manager you edit your connection and specify your DNS in there. If not you can edit /etc/network/interfaces file and specify nameservers there.
[03:26] <Bleakwar> when i said blank i ment it looks like a blank cmd from windows
[03:26] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: 4 gigs of ram, lubuntu should scream with a P4 or better processor .
[03:26] <jak2000> histo ok
[03:27] <jak2000> googling about interfaces.. (here i changed from dhcp to static ip but not specified the nameservers)
[03:27] <jak2000> thnaks
[03:29] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: maybe what you are referring to - is booting to a terminal ?? Is the system asking for your username (login) ?
[03:29] <arooni-mobile>  im using the tomate app for pomodoros, but it makes this awful sound at the end of a pomodor;  is there any way to change the sound its making?
[03:29] <Bleakwar> no, just the typing cursor
[03:31] <teward> is there a way to set what the 'default' kernel that the Grub entries use is?
[03:31] <teward> (so I can 'default' to a specific kernel at boot, rather than using the absolute latest)
[03:31] <Bleakwar> you know what i mean? @bashing
[03:33] <histo> teward: edit /etc/default/grub and then update-grub
[03:33] <AC0HY> #W5KUB
[03:33] <arooni-mobile> where are sound assets usually stored for ubuntu/linux apps?  im using tomate to do pomodoros but the sound upon completing a 25 minute allotment of work is awful and i'd like to change it to an alternate  *.wav file.
[03:34] <AC0HY> quit
[03:34] <bodhi_zazen> wrong window AC0HY
[03:34] <wileee> teward, Check the grub manual
[03:36] <bodhi_zazen> teward, http://askubuntu.com/questions/216398/set-older-kernel-as-default-grub-entry
[03:38] <Bashing-om> Bleakwar: We are backto a graphic's driver issue . Boot the liveDVD ( when you have it make up ) and we guide you to use that boot parameter 'nomodeset' to get ya booted in 'buntu's " try ubuntu " mode .
[03:39] <teward> bodhi_zazen: thanks
[03:40] <wileee> teward, That grub manual is a long arduous read, sorry about that, was about to give you the duplicate of that link.
[03:40] <bodhi_zazen> teward, it is not perfect, probable better, IMO, to put kernel upgrades on hold
[03:42] <teward> bodhi_zazen: ehh, I agree, but i don't want to remove -59-generic (on Trusty) and miss the fix for the latest-introduced kernel issues
[03:43] <bodhi_zazen> OK
[03:43] <teward> bodhi_zazen: and since i have -58-generic on here still, why not temporarily keep that as the default until -60-generic or w/e they use to fix the regression via the default settings rather than remove linux-image and the metapackage that keeps the kernel updates
[03:43] <teward> i can trim older kernels in the mean time xD
[03:43] <bodhi_zazen> sure
[03:51] <linocisco> hi all
[03:51] <AndChat499956> Hello everyone!
[03:51] <kryptomaniak> hello
[03:52] <linocisco> how to increase performance of ubuntu x64 on Dell Inspiron 3443 Core i7
[03:52] <linocisco> ?
[03:52] <AndChat499956> I'm planning on buying a printer. Which one do you think will be perfect for ubuntu 14.04
[03:52] <bodhi_zazen> linocisco, depends on what is causing poor performance =)
[03:53] <bodhi_zazen> AndChat499956, check a hardware compatibility list
[03:53] <nicekiwi_> how can I pip from mysqldump into a tar file? not a gz file
[03:53] <linocisco> bodhi_zazen: it was preinstalled by windows 8.1  and it was faster
[03:53] <nicekiwi_> pipe*
[03:53] <AndChat499956> Okay, but my budget is around 100$
[03:53] <linocisco> bodhi_zazen: now with ubuntu x64 , and found slower and performance is sluggish even when moving cursor
[03:54] <bodhi_zazen> linocisco, most slow downs are due to crapy hardware drivers - so get a linux compatible laptop or replace video / wireless etc
[03:54] <xangua> AndChat499956: one that is Linux compatible or at least provide you drivers, examplehttps://www.thinkpenguin.com/
[03:54] <bodhi_zazen> but again, depends on what is causing the slowdown
[03:54] <linocisco> bodhi_zazen: how can I find compatible drivers for that specific model?
[03:55] <xangua> There is an Ubuntu wiki section about hardware providers for Linux
[03:55] <bodhi_zazen> identify your hardware .... upgrade to latest kernel 4.1.2 perhpas
[03:55] <AndChat499956> xangua: thank you.
[03:56] <bodhi_zazen> AndChat499956, http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw and http://www.linux-drivers.org/
[03:56] <AndChat499956> bodhi_zazen: Thanks a lot.
[03:59] <linocisco> xangua: where is that wiki for  required drivers for my dell laptop?
[04:00] <xangua> linocisco: it's actually about hardware providers with Ubuntu or other Linux distros pre-installed
[04:01] <bodhi_zazen> linocisco, for the most part, the drivers are built into the kernel. Some hardware , however, is closed source *cough* nvidia
[04:01] <bodhi_zazen> for the open source driver, update to the latest kernel
[04:02] <xangua> linocisco: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPre-installed
[04:02] <bodhi_zazen> for the closed source, contact nvidia
[04:02] <bodhi_zazen> and check the hardware compatibility list just as with any os
[04:03] <linocisco> bodhi_zazen:  it came with windows 8.1 64bit pirate version and I removed and installed ubuntu 14.04 x64 and did apt-get update && upgrade and still performance the same
[04:03] <linocisco> xangua: it is not preinstalled like OEM
[04:03] <bodhi_zazen> linocisco, next time but with Ubuntu preinstalled and try installing windows
[04:04] <bodhi_zazen> I am betting it is easier to install ubuntu then windows , at least in terms of finding drivers
[04:04] <bodhi_zazen> linocisco, otherwise , identify your hardware as requested
[04:04] <xangua> linocisco: you can sometimes specify an Ubuntu OEM install if that's what you mean
[04:05] <bodhi_zazen> linocisco, See http://askubuntu.com/questions/31618/how-can-i-find-my-hardware-details and http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw and http://www.linux-drivers.org/
[04:05] <Jamie_1> ugh... it wont let me upgrade to 14.10
[04:05] <linocisco> xangua: bodhi_zazen I dont want to use windows at all. that was why I removed all and installed ubunut fresh
[04:06] <xangua> Jamie_1: 14.10 is no longer supported
[04:06] <bodhi_zazen> linocisco, so next time don't buy windows
[04:06] <Jamie_1> huh
[04:06] <bodhi_zazen> buy with Ubuntu pre-installed
[04:06] <Jamie_1> xangua: when did that happen?
[04:06] <xangua> !14.10 | Jamie_1
[04:07] <Jamie_1> well that really sucks for me.... :(
[04:07] <bodhi_zazen> Jamie_1, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases and http://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life
[04:07] <linocisco> bodhi_zazen: I dont want to buy windows. the original one is with ubutu OEM preinstalled but most end users here are only familiar with windows and the resellers removed default ubuntu on dell and reinstalled windows 81. crack version with correct drivers. that is the problem I am having
[04:07] <bodhi_zazen> non LTS seem to be supported for less time these days
[04:07] <Jamie_1> the current release of intel hd graphics drivers is only currently supported for 14.10 right now.... go fucking figure
[04:08] <bodhi_zazen> linocisco, most end users buy with ubuntu , rather then windows installed
[04:08] <xangua> bodhi_zazen: drop that language please
[04:08] <wileee> Jamie_1, You should not be using the intel tool
[04:08] <xangua> Jamie_1: ^
[04:08] <linocisco> bodhi_zazen: here is different only microsoft users
[04:08] <Jamie_1> wileee: i cant seem to find any other drivers for intel
[04:09] <linocisco> bodhi_zazen:  I can't find preinstalled laptop with ubuntu
[04:09] <wileee> Jamie_1, THe ones in the ubuntu are not working?
[04:09] <wileee> epo*
[04:09] <Jamie_1> wileee: thanks again for earlier... and there is no propriatary drivers at all
[04:09] <wileee> repo* sorry
[04:09] <wileee> not for intell I believe jamesd_
[04:09] <wileee> Jamie_1, ^^
[04:10] <xangua> linocisco: I just gave you a link you can find Linux vendors all around the world...
[04:10] <linocisco> xangua: thanks yes. i m lookiing now
[04:10] <xangua> But maybe you should focus in your actual problem
[04:10] <Jamie_1> wileee: I have the intel hd 3000 sandy bridge... and i can tell that its not using it to its full potential if almost at all
[04:10] <wileee> Jamie_1, Is this a must have the latest driver syndrome?
[04:11] <linocisco> xangua: I did apt-get update and upgrade but when I rebooted , software updater automatically run and asked me to install linux image and others so I proceed. I dont know why
[04:11] <Jamie_1> wileee: i know that the sandybridge is a rather nice processor and gpu mix... and it should be rendering with ease... but its not. I keep getting frame skipping
[04:12] <xangua> linocisco: you don't know why you are asked to install security updates? Please elaborate
[04:13] <histo> Jamie_1: frame skipping in what?
[04:13] <Jamie_1> histo: a steam game with the grapics even set to lowest and also a crap ton on my pcsx2
[04:14] <Jamie_1> my old six year old laptop before it died performed both the pcsx2 and game with better quality
[04:15] <linocisco> xangua: from GUI, software updater automatically popped up and asked me there are xxx packages to update since installation.  i proceeded and and finished and rebooted. found kernel image is updated from console prompt. let me check drivers using your link
[04:16] <xangua> Check drivers yo are using, using my link? I really don't get what are you trying to say linocisco
[04:16] <Jamie_1> any one have any ideas on how to increase performance than if not from drivers... i used to have the first gen i5 dual core with an 6 year old nvidia grapics card that was performing these tasks better than a i7 dual core with the intel hd 3000 grapics... which is kinda ridiculous
[04:17] <linocisco> xangua: http://askubuntu.com/questions/31618/how-can-i-find-my-hardware-details
[04:20] <linocisco> xangua: for example, using lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A1, It gave me output. How do I find correct drivers?
[04:22] <histo> Jamie_1: it probably didn't have intel video chipset if it performed better
[04:22] <M4j3st1c> fuck
[04:22] <xangua> linocisco: I seriously don't know what are you taking about, you asked me out of nowhere there is the Ubuntu wiki site about your drivers when I was taking about hardware vendors with Linux distros pre-installed
[04:22] <histo> Jamie_1: intel graphics chipset are not that good at all.
[04:24] <linocisco> xangua: lshw and other commands on http://askubuntu.com/questions/31618/how-can-i-find-my-hardware-details , gave me hints how to check audio, grahpic installed. but I dont know where to get required drivers for my specific model Dell laptop
[04:24] <xangua> ...
[04:25] <pawan> gh
[04:25] <pawan> helloo
[04:26] <pawan> la y que?
[04:26] <xangua> !ask
[04:27] <TechMonger> is there a way to get around changing public IPs with ssh?
[04:27] <Jamie_1> histo: from what i was told the sandy bridge chip set was rather nice
[04:27] <histo> TechMonger: what?
[04:28] <histo> TechMonger: oh you mean if the ip changes still being able to find the box?
[04:28] <TechMonger> my isp changes my public ip whenever it wants
[04:28] <Jamie_1> I didnt have to pay for it... so its whatever
[04:28] <TechMonger> yea
[04:28] <histo> TechMonger: get dynamic domain name then
[04:28] <TechMonger> i think my isp charges for that
[04:28] <histo> TechMonger: http://freedns.afraid.org/
[04:29] <xangua> Get a router?
[04:29] <Jamie_1> i forgot how much of a nightmare setting up a new laptop will all of my stuff for  both dev and fun was....
[04:30] <TechMonger> histo, can i do this myself?
[04:32] <agent_white> Jamie_1: I've been meaning to get around to diving into Puppet for that exact reason :P
[04:32] <pawan> how do i get ip of perticuler routor
[04:32] <pawan> ??
[04:33] <agent_white> TechMonger: Yup! It is something you can do yourself and is free (depending on the provider).  It is called "dynamic DNS".
[04:35] <wileee> pawan, If your after your own router, the ip is in network to access it.
[04:35] <pawan> not mine of course ...
[04:36] <wileee> pawan, This is not a hack channel if that is your goal.
[04:37] <pawan> so what is this channel for??
[04:37] <wileee> !topic
[04:40] <linocisco> i gave up and I can't really find any drivers for My Dell

[05:00] <gry> why not use repo?
[05:01] <LonelyDanbo> so the solution for this bug didn't fix it, and I can't load Steam as a result. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1268257
[05:01] <xaj> I don’t think that’s available in snappy @gry
[05:02] <gry> then use other release, in which it is available
[05:03] <xaj> So you’re suggesting I not use snappy because there’s no way to get git...
[05:03] <xaj> How am I supposed to build a snap without git? lol

[05:06] <wileee> this is a volunteer channel is all
[05:07] <Mynameisjoejoe> Alright, so my computer will do this sometimes, i ill put on a youtube video and then all of a sudden my computer crashes to the login screen, i put in my password and it just crashes back to the login screen.... For me to fix it i have to restart my computer
[05:08] <Mynameisjoejoe> Anyone know what's up?
[05:08] <SpaceBebop> !botsnack
[05:09] <Mynameisjoejoe> What?
[05:09] <wileee> Mynameisjoejoe, I would include the the hardware, the ubuntu or flaver release and the desktop.
[05:10] <Mynameisjoejoe> The Hardware is a Macbook 13 inch, and its 14.04
[05:10] <LonelyDanbo> maybe something's overheating from the video.
[05:11] <wileee> Mynameisjoejoe, Cool, unity desktop we would assume. you can install lm-sensors an set up maybe a conky and watch the temp, your ram cpu and lots more.
[05:12] <LonelyDanbo> maybe I should try Mint. Someone one another channel suggested it, and someone else on the page for my nVidia driver issue also mentioned it.
[05:12] <LonelyDanbo> I'm getting so much trouble lately, with my Wine games breaking while trying to update, to Steam failing to run.
[05:14] <xangua> LonelyDanbo: are you saying that from the very beginning you were tying to run steam and steam games with wine?
[05:14] <LonelyDanbo> no. both separately.
[05:14] <wileee> LonelyDanbo, I have a harmonica about an inch long, should I play the blues for yah?
[05:15] <Fede> Hi!
[05:15] <xangua> LonelyDanbo: did you already tried asking in steam forums then? I believe there is an Ubuntu channel oriented to steam
[05:16] <Mynameisjoejoe> Anyone know what program i should downloa?
[05:16] <LonelyDanbo> I have not tried forums.
[05:17] <Mynameisjoejoe> What is the problem LonelyDanbo
[05:17] <LonelyDanbo> Steam won't run. Steam - Error. OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display.
[05:18] <LonelyDanbo> I changed the driver I was using to a more recent one, but didn't restart before doing an apt-get update and I forget what, and it gave me an error. the page for the error gave me a solution, but the solution didn't fix it.
[05:19] <LonelyDanbo> the error page was: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1268257
[05:20] <LonelyDanbo> Ubuntu worked great for a year when I didn't update anything. ... after taking 3 weeks to get things working initially.
[05:21] <SpaceBebop> !joke
[05:22] <SpaceBebop> Ouch, ubottu is killing me
[05:24] <LonelyDanbo> so my choices for Mint seem to be MATE based on GNOME 2, and Cinnamon.
[05:36] <ryilefer> Hey..I tried installing nvidia driver on my ubuntu 14.04 and ran into quite a few problems like frozen screen, not able to access anything beyond the login page,etc..I got really frustrated and reinstalled ubuntu again..could someone please help me install nvidia driver properly??
[05:42] <dididodo> Hi ... kernel 3.13.0-59 is crashing wine ... this has been confirmed by other users ... where can i find infos about the latest patches and workarounds?
[05:43] <xangua> ryilefer: is there something wrong with the open source drivers?
[05:43] <ryilefer> xangua: yeah..it keeps freezing.. I tried the proprietary, trusted version.. Same problem
[05:56] <wileee> LonelyDanbo, This is support not your crying game.
[05:57] <agent_white> ryilefer: So you're freezing up using either driver?
[05:58] <agent_white> ryilefer: If you can get to login, but see nothing after that... have you checked X11 logs? (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) ?
[05:58] <ryilefer> agent_white : yes sir..I'm currently running it on x.org x server- nouveau display driver..
[05:59] <agent_white> ryilefer: Hm. Well if you freeze using nouveau AND the proprietary driver, then something else is up.
[06:00] <ryilefer> agent_white: currently on my phone so that I can go to crtl+alt+f1
[06:01] <ryilefer> agent_white: will install pastebin and send lspci..
[06:01] <agent_white> ryilefer: No need for lspci.
[06:01] <wileee> !optimus
[06:02] <ryilefer> ubottu: so I'll install via bumblebee?
[06:02] <agent_white> ryilefer: Check your logs.  /var/log/Xorg.0.log namely and first (since issues are after login), and then /var/log/debug as well... to start.
[06:02] <agent_white> ryilefer: Ignore that link.
[06:02] <wileee> ryilefer, I poped that up as it seems it may be an optimus setup, confirm with your helpers, I'm guessing.
[06:03] <wileee> popped*
[06:03] <agent_white> wileee: How so?
[06:03] <ryilefer> agent_white : can I pastebin the xorg log file for you to see?
[06:03] <agent_white> ryilefer: Please do!
[06:04] <wileee> agent_white, As I said I'm guessing, two cards nouveau and nividia, not trying to rain on anyones parade.
[06:04] <ryilefer> agent_white: paste.ubuntu.com/11957897
[06:05] <agent_white> wileee: Two cards? -- Oh I know, just not sure how you figured it to be optimus. You could be right! :P
[06:05] <wileee> agent_white, I have always had intel so no idea really.
[06:06] <wileee> used computers heh
[06:09] <agent_white> ryilefer: What video card do you have?
[06:09] <agent_white> ryilefer: Maybe lspci output would be helpful, as well :)
[06:09] <ryilefer_> agent_white: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11957886/
[06:14] <agent_white> ryilefer_: Are you using Unity?
[06:16] <ryilefer_> agent_white: i guess..ubuntu 14,04 lts
[06:18] <agent_white> wileee: you coul be right ;)
[06:18] <shine_> I have some kind of virus where a video player plays in the background whenever my browser is open and the only information I can find is windows specific - of course. It's kind of laughable, actually, this : http://www.fixyourbrowser.com/removal-instructions/remove-ads-video-player-virus-works/  site advocets running about 5 different virus and malware scanners in a row to solve the problem (but, again, windows specificl - lmao). So
[06:18] <shine_> what do I do though? This is interfering with my any work I try to do.
[06:19] <shine_> I'm using chrome btw
[06:19] <ryilefer_> agent_white: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11957959/ did  ' ps -ef | grep unity'
[06:19] <agent_white> wileee: Not sure if it's optimus or not though...?
[06:19] <wileee> agent_white, Not sure if bumblebee is the latest use is all, if this is optimus.
[06:20] <wileee> not sure here I just spend to much time here, heh'
[06:21] <wileee> shine I would reset the browser as a start save the bookmarks and turn off cookies and history.
[06:22] <wileee> clean it and keep it clean, virus I doubt
[06:23] <agent_white> ryilefer_: wileee seems to be right. Since there's only one VGA controller being shown (that being the onboard Intel), and 3D controller is showing your GeForce GT 720M, you need to follow the link wileee gave: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[06:24] <ryilefer_> agent_white: will do..If i run into trouble, well...i;ll be back :)
[06:24] <ryilefer_> agent_white , wileee : thanks a ton you two :)
[06:25] <shine_> Can anyone offer suggestion as there is (apparently) no information about this where linux is concerned - only windoze
[06:26] <shine_> wileee: sorry didn't see -
[06:26] <shine_> Can't do that atm so I guess I'll have to suffer w/ it for a bit longer. Thanks for the idea though. I'm sure that will work
[06:34] <wileee> shine_, I would use an adblocker and flashblock in chrome, there are a few good addons.
[06:34] <wileee> I would wager that ad thang is running in flash
[06:36] <wileee> chromes reset saves the bookmarks, but a backup of them is good, cookies and history really are a waste if you have passwords saved your set.
[06:37] <wileee> I would say passwords not for anything like banks etc though
[06:38] <CB6> If the system always has errors on boot and asks to report the errors is there any system checking to insure the same error report isn't being sent over and over again from the same person?
[06:39] <dsodsi> is there a better way to execute cd ../../../ ?
[06:39] <wileee> CB6, Have you looked at the drop down ifo?
[06:40] <wileee> info*
[06:41] <shine_> wileee: thanks wilee - peace brother
[06:42] <agent_white> dsodsi: You can shorten "../" to ".." to "-"
[06:43] <Fuchs> err
[06:43] <wileee> CB6, That is apport, it will even popup on 3rd party issue is why I ask are you reading what the app is.
[06:43] <Fuchs> cd -    on most shells does something else
[06:43] <Fuchs> it pops back to the last directory used
[06:43] <Novice201y> Hello. After last reboot I see only command promt on the screen and Lubuntu doesn't load.
[06:44] <agent_white> dsodsi: Otherwise, make an alias or something.  See here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12198222/go-few-directories-up-in-linux
[06:44] <agent_white> Fuchs: Aye!
[06:44] <agent_white> Fuchs: That's my point. I was only stating what "../" could be changed to... and, of course, cannot be chained.
[06:45] <CB6> It didn't elaborate on the error
[06:45] <CB6> Nothing blatantly apparent anyhow.
[06:45] <agent_white> Fuchs: Oh wait!
[06:45] <agent_white> Fuchs: you're entirely right hahah.
[06:45] <wileee> CB6, Usually there is a more info click.
[06:46] <agent_white> dsodsi: Ignore my statement! "../" can be shortened to "..", but if you want to change multiple levels at once in a simple manner, make an alias.
[06:46] <Kartagis> who wants 100points on askubuntu.com? http://askubuntu.com/questions/648663/any-way-to-recover-my-3tb-usb-hdd
[06:46] <wileee> CB6, I can't say this is for you but I remove apport.
[06:47] <wileee> !testdisk
[06:47] <dsodsi> ok other thing please
[06:47] <wileee> Kartagis, testdisk
[06:47] <dsodsi> how can we display logs of locking unlocking session ?
[06:47] <dsodsi> not with last
[06:47] <Kartagis> wileee: testdisk says can't read the filesystem
[06:48] <wileee> Kartagis, Really, can't say for free there is anything better.
[06:48] <agent_white> dsodsi: Unlock screen events are in the /var/log/auth.log file.
[06:48] <dsodsi> it s empty
[06:48] <agent_white> dsodsi: `grep screen /var/log/auth.log*`   ?
[06:49] <wileee> Kartagis, I have two 2 terabytes drives, one is a backup the other is a backup of it.
[06:49] <dsodsi> nono it s ok
[06:49] <BLUG_Fred> Hi! Trying to install Ubuntu on a new MacBook Air (7,1) with Intel HD 6000 graphics and the text is not displayed... so it makes it a bit hard to move around. Anyone has a clue as to what to do? Google didn't help me much so far
[06:49] <CB6> When I load the system up it pulls some errors too fast for me to read
[06:50] <InFlames> does anyone ever have issues of windows getting trapped on a non-existent monitor when you plug/unplug a video cable?!?! it's driving me insane, been this way for a year, i can't take it anymore
[06:51] <wileee> BLUG_Fred, Have you had a look at the mac wiki?
[06:52] <BLUG_Fred> wileee: yes. It stops at version 6,2
[06:52] <BLUG_Fred> wileee: they're like Air from 2013
[06:52] <wileee> BLUG_Fred, I figured you had, no idea here.
[06:52] <BLUG_Fred> wileee: ok .. thanks.
[06:52] <dsodsi> thanks
[06:53] <BLUG_Fred> well I assume it's a graphic drivers problem
[06:53] <wileee> !nomodeset | BLUG_Fred this might be worth trying
[06:54] <BLUG_Fred> wileee: ok thank you. I'll read through that.
[06:54] <BLUG_Fred> wileee: any idea if ubuntu connects automatically to unsecured wifi?
[06:55] <BLUG_Fred> because I can't get online and update the distro without seeing the list of wifi...
[06:55] <wileee> BLUG_Fred, you can set it as the default I would think.
[06:55] <wileee> !wifi
[06:56] <InFlames> it seems the windows are being moved to a different workspace
[06:58] <agent_white> InFlames: Are you using Unity?
[06:58] <InFlames> yes
[06:59] <InFlames> I just tried locking the session and suspending it, neither caused it, it only happens when it naturally sleeps, or monitor is disconnected for a while
[06:59] <InFlames> so it seems...
[06:59] <CB6> Where do I go to check out the startup errors?
[07:01] <BLUG_Fred> wileee: after reading all this I'll try the text mode install.. I need to do another download :/
[07:03] <wileee> BLUG_Fred, Not sure with a mac booting the live, but all you need is that first gui that has a choice to try install or do a memory check, I think it is tapping shift at powering on the media till you see it.
[07:03] <agent_white> InFlames: Maybe do "SUPER+S" to grab the Window and move it to another workspace?
[07:04] <agent_white> Or switch to another workspace... "Ctrl+Alt+(left/down/right/up arrows)"
[07:04] <CB6> Is apport the error reporting?
[07:04] <BLUG_Fred> wileee: yeah.. let me try before doing another download... good point
[07:04] <wileee> BLUG_Fred, Than a f6 and choose nomodest
[07:04] <wileee> BLUG_Fred, It used to be you got that gui, now it bypasses it.
[07:06] <wileee> CB6, It is one I suspect there are others not sure. I would not get to caught up in seeing errors though. It is the type of error that is the key.
[07:07] <wileee> CB6, dmesg will show stuff
[07:07] <CB6> Every single start it does it lol. It didn't start this way so it's likely not a core default thing
[07:08] <wileee> CB6, YOU all updated and everything is working?
[07:08] <CB6> Not anymore
[07:08] <CB6> "Settings" and "About Us" pull down tabs no longer work
[07:10] <wileee> CB6, Ah, no idea, usually there is precursor you remember any preceding activities as a cause?
[07:11] <CB6> Whatever do I do with this output lol?
[07:11] <wileee> !pastebin
[07:11] <CB6> Update that day 60MB
[07:12] <xheart> hi
[07:13] <xheart> i ran clamscan and it found over 15 errors , what command in sudo i need to enter to fix those errors?
[07:13] <CB6> dmesg goes way beyond the scrollable viewer. Is there any way to get back to the dmesg area?
[07:13] <xheart> correction over 15k errors
[07:13] <wileee> CB6, we had a kernel upgrade lately, that people have been having issue with, you might check an earlier kernel
[07:13] <CB6> I have 14.02 or whatever it was
[07:14] <wileee> xheart, Show us the errors in a pastebin if you can.
[07:14] <InFlames> agent_white, i'll try that next time it happens (in a bit probably)
[07:14] <InFlames> thanks
[07:15] <wileee> CB6, If you were told to reboot after an update/upgrade you had a kernel change most likely
[07:15] <agent_white> InFlames: Mhm :)
[07:16] <xheart> wilee it is running now clamscan -remove
[07:16] <CB6> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11958171/
[07:16] <CB6> been a few of those reboot requests
[07:17] <jimbo_> Hi, I cannot login my user using the loginscreen, it flashes black and then goes back to the login screen after I removed my NVIDIA drivers by running "Nvidia.run --uninstall".
[07:20] <wileee> CB6, right after you boot run  dmasg | less that will show since that boot http://lnag.sourceforge.net/lnag_html/node5.html#SECTION005403400000000000000
[07:20] <CB6> dmesg or dmasg?
[07:20] <wileee> CB6, Doh dmesg
[07:21] <wileee> sorry
[07:21] <CB6> making sure lol
[07:21] <CB6> when working with computers :P
[07:21] <wileee> my back hurts, heh
[07:22] <wileee> CB6, I rarely read this area, but it may help you and you have some evidence if there is anything.
[07:25] <CB6> ty
[07:26] <yeliztaneroglu> hey
[07:26] <morphyeys> is wubi still not working with windows 8?
[07:27] <D30> hello all, i am trying to boot an ubuntu iso to a kvm host using this url as location http://server1/iso/dists/trusty/
[07:27] <auronandace> i thought wubi was depreciated a long time ago
[07:28] <xangua> Will never
[07:28] <wileee> morphyeys, Not supported is all, not sure on W8 working.
[07:28] <D30> that ubuntu trusty iso is mounted via /mnt/iso folder
[07:28] <xangua> !wubi
[07:28] <D30> and link to /var/ww/html
[07:28] <D30> however i seem not able to figure out the correct url for it :(
[07:28] <wileee> morphyeys, A vm might work ok.
[07:28] <morphyeys> hello thanks
[07:28] <D30> i keep getting this error Could not find an installable distribution at 'http://server1/iso/dists/trusty/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/'
[07:28] <D30> The location must be the root directory of an install tree.
[07:29] <D30> i also tried just http://server1/iso/
[07:30] <D30> but still it wont work.. may i ask what would be the correct installatin url for ubuntu 14.04?
[07:32] <CB6> Has anyone in here actually got samba to work properly? I can see windows fine but windows can't see Ubuntu.
[07:34] <awtempler> Anyone familiar with shiny server?
[07:35] <Guest10> hi
[07:36] <OerHeks> CB6, maybe it is your antivirus
[07:36] <CB6> considered and disabled the AV firewall
[07:38] <OerHeks> CB6, use paste.ubuntu.com for your samba config, maybe it is just a setting
[07:39] <CB6> likely
[07:41] <pritam> hoe to list any specific file in terminal ?
[07:43] <OerHeks> pritam, man ls
[07:43] <wileee> awtempler, I checked the net, the ppa support it had stopped at 13.10, however I saw links on 14.04 and it.
[07:44] <wileee> independent parties though
[07:44] <awtempler> wileee: I have installed it (built from source)...it works....but i am having some issues with it
[07:44] <awtempler> on ubuntu 14.04 (32 bit)
[07:46] <xheart> is wilee here?
[07:46] <wileee> yes
[07:47] <xheart> how do i fix the errors?
[07:47] <xheart> o sent you the info
[07:48] <CB6> Should I be seriously weirded out by the fact that my practically new install doesn't allow me to click on system info or settings? I double click and nothing happens. Extremely suspicious
[07:48] <wileee> xheart, What errors, I was not sure why you were running clamav, I thought you had a wifi issue of disconnecting.
[07:49] <wileee> xheart, has to be a pastebin I have pm off
[07:49] <xheart> i have to be disconnecting and connecting to be able to surfer the web

[07:54] <pritam> hi ubottu
[07:55] <Fuchs> ubottu would be a bot and not answer you directly
[07:55] <pritam> Fuchs, I know!! just kidding
[07:56] <Fuchs> and he isn't terribly intelligent, as he just wrote  (someone should probably fix that regex there a bit)
[07:57] <agent_white> Poor ubottu. Born into a world of spaghetti regex.
[08:01] <morphyeys> Hello guys, how can I zip all the .txt files from directory ?
[08:03] <x4w31> morphyeys: zip archivomultiple.zip archivo1.txt archivo2.txt archivo3.txt etc....
[08:03] <x4w31> sudo apt-get install zip unzip
[08:05] <aa_> when I use smplayer,click "open file",it create a window by gtk,but smplay is develped by QT
[08:06] <morphyeys> x4w31, what about zip archivename.zip *.txt ?
[08:07] <ObrienDave> ^^^ way to easy ;P
[08:07] <x4w31> morphyeys: the sintax is zip FinalArchive.zip Archivetocompress1 Archivetocompres2....
[08:07] <x4w31> or *.txt not run?
[08:08] <ObrienDave> zip from the directory above. easy
[08:08] <agent_white> morphyeys: Or... `zip archivename *.txt` . No need to add the extension ;P
[08:08] <x4w31> exactly * only.
[08:08] <x4w31> prepair folder and end it :P
[08:10] <agent_white> aa_: smplayer has a dependency of qt5-script.  Just because it is developed by QT doesn't mean it doesn't use additional GUI libraries.
[08:12] <agent_white> aa_: Rather... QT aren't the developers, they are just one library used.
[08:12] <mcfrisk> Hi! How to do apt pinning in ubuntu 14.04? It seems like default release names like trusty are not know so APT::Default-Release "trusty"; can not be set, fails with "E: The value 'trusty' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources"
[08:17] <wileee> mcfrisk, You had a look at man apt
[08:18] <wileee> there is a web page way easier to read
[08:18] <OerHeks> !pinning
[08:18] <b1naryfin>
[08:19] <b1naryfin> exit
[08:22] <mcfrisk> wileee & OerHeks: thanks, luckily I just had a typo in /etc/apt/sources.list and had only deb-src repos for trusty there. With both deb and deb-src apt is fine with default release name of trusty.
[08:23] <wileee> mcfrisk, The error was weird, good job.
[08:27] <aa_> agent_white: yes ,but why smplayer don't use qt library and use gtk library
[08:29] <OerHeks> aa_, that filedialog is part of the operatingsystem, i guess that is dominant over a QT dialog box
[08:31] <funkenstrahlen> Hey, I call 'ssh-copy-id -i /home/vagrant/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and get 'command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: umask' as an error. Why?
[08:32] <funkenstrahlen> If I remove the stricthostkeychecking option the error does not occur
[08:34] <aa_> OerHeks:how to do it?I want smplayer use Qt dialog box in ubuntu
[08:35] <OerHeks> aa_, kubuntu will work i guess
[08:35] <ObrienDave> xubuntu ;p
[08:36] <ObrienDave> oh, *bites fingers*
[08:36] <OerHeks> not sure it is even possible what you are asking, QT dialogs
[08:36] <ObrienDave> aa_, does it work? if yes, whay does it matter?
[08:37] <backbox> Any ONe ther?
[08:44] <funkenstrahlen> my problem was a bug in openssh. upgrading solved it.
[08:46] <cynixx3> I need some dual boot help. I can only access my USB iso with uefi disabled. do I need to have uefi enabled while installing the OS?
[08:47] <EriC^^> cynixx3: do you have windows installed in uefi mode?
[08:47] <cynixx3> EriC^^,  yes
[08:47] <EriC^^> then you need to boot ubuntu in uefi mode
[08:47] <cynixx3> I am trying to.
[08:47] <EriC^^> how did you make the usb?
[08:48] <cynixx3> yumi

[08:48] <cynixx3> okay. thanks
[08:48] <EriC^^> also try pressing esc and see if you get a boot options menu, and choose usb uefi

[08:53] <D30> hello so im using http://server1/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/ as my installation url in kvm
[08:53] <D30> but seem its not correct
[08:53] <D30> what should be the right path?
[09:00] <CB6> Is there a decent internet monitor like rainmaker for windows?
[09:00] <CB6> Something that sits on the toolbar most likely
[09:03] <Ububegin> when I did , sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre .. my system got java7 update 79.. but I want the latest update 85.. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/jdk7-openjdk/
[09:03] <Ububegin> how do I do this
[09:04] <Ben64> Ububegin: you don't
[09:04] <CB6> my connection just dropped off lol. Not sure if you guys saw my question about a decent internet monitor that shows being active with up/down activity like Rainmaker to sit in the toolbar or on the desktop kind of like the weather app.
[09:04] <fidel_> Ububegin: if you are using ubuntu - you can use what is in your package-managent - not what the arch is offering ;)
[09:05] <nash> hello
[09:06] <Ububegin> I mean is there anyway to update to the latest java 7.. It is a company policy (some security vulnerability shit)
[09:07] <Ben64> !latest | Ububegin
[09:07] <fidel_> Ububegin: there might be a way using a custom ppa which might provide openjdp packages - but afaik this is not supported inhere
[09:07] <Ububegin> fidel_: Ok I will google for openjdk custom ppa..
[09:08] <OerHeks> webupd8 ppa i think

[09:24] <gotcha> hey guys, im running an ubuntu server VM to run a webserver, couple of other services like Redman etc.. is it best to keep this on an ubuntu server or an ubuntu desktop can handle all that just fine?
[09:24] <bhagwan> and you ?
[09:25] <gotcha> i assume ubuntu server uses less resources then ubuntu desktop?
[09:25] <sai> hi
[09:25] <bhagwan> hello sai
[09:26] <sai> how r u
[09:27] <fidel_> gotcha: there is no problem keeping that on a server. May i ask wehy you are asking?
[09:28] <fidel_> gotcha: at the end the diff between server and desktop should be the default package selection ...so ...
[09:29] <gotcha> fidel_, im asking because im installing a new ubuntu installation to clean up the old server. cuz i have a lot of junk all over the place
[09:29] <gotcha> so wanted to make a new installation, transfer only what i need and then completely delete the old one
[09:29] <Amoz> gotcha, if you don't see any use for the desktop features at the new install, go with ubuntu-server.
[09:29] <fidel_> gotcha: you can use whatever you want to run those services - using a "server" install might give you a smaller footprint - as less default packages-  less running default services
[09:29] <fidel_> thats the diff
[09:32] <gotcha> so a graphical interface doesnt really make that much difference from running it from terminal
[09:34] <bhagwan> thanks fidel
[09:35] <sai> hi fidel
[09:35] <Amoz> gotcha, for server features ? no. Those are separate things. You can even start out with ubuntu-server, and then just install the ubuntu-desktop package if you want to add the GUI later.
[09:36] <fidel_> gotcha: if its about setting up a server - use the server image. if you need a desktop-like environment - either use the desktop image - or the server image and manually install the additional packages you might need
[09:36] <Amoz> gotcha, but are you still running it in a VM?
[09:38] <fidel_> gotcha: as mentioned above - the difference between those images is only what packages are pre-selected/getting installed by default
[09:39] <gotcha> Amoz, yes
[09:39] <CB6> Do you guys use conky at all?
[09:39] <gotcha> fidel_, makes sense i guess
[09:39] <Amoz> gotcha, and what's the host OS?
[09:39] <gotcha> Windows
[09:40] <fidel_> CB6: yes - i.a. to display the state of the system, raid etc
[09:40] <Amoz> gotcha, i see. Well if you don't need the GUI, go with the server, less resources required that way.
[09:42] <gotcha> thank you
[09:43] <k1l> CB6: so you mean "rainmeter" and not rainmaker? i thought you were talking about a weather app
[09:43] <k1l> CB6: but conky is the way to go then
[09:43] <CB6> haha yes
[09:49] <CB6> Is there a conky package that's super popular? There's like unity conky and seemingly a lot of variations. Stable, asesthetically pleasing and secure being main considerations.
[09:50] <k1l> CB6: install conky. then you need to make or "get" a config file that makes conky look like you want
[09:51] <k1l> CB6: search the "this is my fancy conky desktop" websites or threads to get that config files from others
[09:53] <ArnC> Hi everybody, is there any plan to upgrade the salt-stack packages of the ubuntu-server 14.04 repos to the latest stable? (2014.7.6)
[09:54] <sai> hi om
[09:54] <CB6> k
[09:55] <k1l> !sru | ArnC
[09:55] <OerHeks> CB6, old tread, 2000+ pages about conky http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865&page=2313
[09:55] <ArnC> thx k1l
[09:55] <OerHeks> awesome collection
[09:55] <CB6> lol
[09:55] <CB6> wow

[09:56] <OerHeks> but now there is conky manager too http://www.webupd8.org/2013/07/conky-manager-gui-for-managing-conky.html
[09:56] <OerHeks> this is the 1st thing i learned on ubuntu, conky script and cronjobs
[09:59] <CB6> As someone from the web scripting world the whole cron job to me means running web scripts at random intervals

[10:41] <jimw> gry: A kind person has just msgd me the answer:

[12:02] <sl1rpy> anyone have any ideas about this error?
[12:04] <mcphail> sl1rpy: I presume you mean insufficient space? If not, please pastebin the exact error
[12:05] <sl1rpy> mcphail, yes... that one lol...
[12:05] <mcphail> sl1rpy: :) - please pastebin the output of "df -h"
[12:09] <fidel_> sl1rpy: got "df -h" running?
[12:11] <sl1rpy> fidel_, yes... pastebin is on a dif computer so im trying to figure out how to post link onto irc
[12:12] <fidel_> you could scp the url in a file from comp1 to comp2 (which has irc running)
[12:12] <fidel_> ugly way - but should be quick (&dirty) ;)
[12:12] <x4w3> my favourite sw is scp or ssh :)
[12:12] <x4w3> and expect in to sftp :)
[12:13] <mcphail> sl1rpy: df -h | nc termbin.com 9999
[12:13] <sl1rpy_> or i could do this... lol
[12:13] <sl1rpy_> http://pastebin.com/DxWqz7HN
[12:13] <sl1rpy_> its complaining about the /boot
[12:15] <mcphail> sl1rpy: yes - having a /boot partition is a bad idea. If you do have one, you need to make it large
[12:15] <mcphail> sl1rpy: you'll need to clear some space in /boot to complete the upgrade
[12:16] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, i did the auto setup... so i thought it would just put everything under / and do one partititon?
[12:16] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: that's what it should do. Don't know if there are edge cases?
[12:16] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: is this real Ubuntu or a derivative?
[12:17] <sl1rpy_> ubuntu 15.04 64 bit...
[12:17] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: having a /boot partition that small is going to be a recurrent problem

[12:18] <jam__> I want a minimal Ubuntu system (no desktop) but the mini.iso don't let me install using wifi
[12:19] <jam__>  is there any minimal CD images available?
[12:21] <pragomer1> how to use usb tethering with android and ubuntu 14.04 ? when activating usb tethering on my android device, ubuntu shows a 2nd wired connection named "usb0" (like eth0)... but if config show for usb0 e.g. <IP_ADDRESS>..... my network on pc has <IP_ADDRESS> e.g.
[12:21] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, huh... looked at gparted on both my laptops and it shows the /boot partition seperate from the encrypted partitions.  is there something that prohibits /boot from working properly if lvm encryption is enabled?
[12:21] <TJ-> Is duckduckgo timing out for anyone other than me?
[12:22] <alex88> hi guys, is there a way to open a terminal during an install from a minimal cd image?
[12:22] <Yotson> TJ-, works fine here.
[12:22] <didar> alex88, Ctrl+Alt+F2 ??
[12:22] <ioria> duck seems ok
[12:23] <alex88> didar: love you!
[12:23] <TJ-> Hmm... I'm hitting "ec2-176-34-155-20.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com" and it's timing out ... no HTTP responses
[12:23] <didar> alex88, no problem :)
[12:23] <jam__> I guess not : (  http://askubuntu.com/questions/203122/how-do-i-do-a-minimal-install-without-an-internet-connection

[12:25] <alex88> didar: not a problem, that works fine!
[12:25] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, basically is it possible to have encrypted volume with the /boot mounted inside the encrypted volume?
[12:25] <jdo_dk> Hello, i know this is not "normal" ubuntu issue, but can anyone help my "sort" mailq to tell which domain has most mails in queue ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11959271/
[12:26] <didar> alex88, http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd_Homepage
[12:26] <didar> ... might be helpful
[12:26] <didar> Had used it a few years ago
[12:26] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: aah - don't know about that
[12:27] <TJ-> All 8 IPs for duckduckgo.com returned via round-robin looup are unresponsive for HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) ... could someone show me a "pastebin <(dig +short duckduckgo.com)" so I can set up some temporary local host overrides?
[12:27] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, well im assuming if it was possible, ubuntu auto partitioning would have done it that way so i wouldnt run into this problem.
[12:28] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: probably :)
[12:28] <alex88> didar: for sure! now lets see if i can mount a remote samba folder
[12:28] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: If it autocreates a boot partition which is too small, it might be worth filing a bug
[12:28] <didar> :o good luck
[12:29] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, i was kinda wondering if there could be a feature that you can delete old kernels once detected that there isnt enough space
[12:30] <TJ-> sl1rpy: Yes, it is possible
[12:30] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: you can apt-get autoremove to remove old kernels, but the updater isn't intelligent enough to do that automatically.
[12:30] <alex88> didar: thanks ;) seems it's there "Network tools (Samba, NFS, ping, nslookup, ...): to backup your data across the network" ;)
[12:30] <didar> cool
[12:30] <TJ-> sl1rpy: As in, LUKS/dm-crypt for the /boot/ file-system
[12:30] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: there are people on here all the time who have run into that problem
[12:31] <TJ-> sl1rpy: After creating the encrypted /boot/ file-system, make sure to add to "/etc/default/grub" the config "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y"
[12:31] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, ah... that did it.  that should be in the dialog for this error than apt-get clean
[12:32] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: doesn't always work, iirc, if the update leaves things particularly broken
[12:32] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, should this be a feature request or a bug request?
[12:32] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: bug
[12:33] <ioria> TJ- http://paste.ubuntu.com/11959308/
[12:33] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: (don't know which package, though)
[12:34] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, a combination of software updater and grub?
[12:34] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, oh and the auto setup of encrypted volumes
[12:34] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: I think the bug itself is with the installer: if it automatically creates a partition which is too small it is a bug
[12:35] <TJ-> ioria: thanks... it seems there's a problem on the return-route to me from the AWS Ireland data-center... I have those same set of IPs both locally and in the London data-center... my local HTTP/HTTPS connections time out, but I can ping the hosts - I wonder if someone's messed up a MITM proxy?
[12:35] <mcphail> sl1rpy_: at the very least, it should produce a warning that /boot is a bit small
[12:36] <ioria> TJ-  you're the pro :þ
[12:36] <MBPRO> lolz
[12:36] <sl1rpy_> mcphail, or take you to a screen after you select "use whole disk, encrypt, lvm" to where you can choose the size for /boot
[12:37] <TJ-> ^ _
[12:37] <TJ-> @ @
[12:39] <sl1rpy> all i know is Java and a little bit of C++... if i knew more i would contribute by working on the installer iso :-P
[12:42] <TJ-> sl1rpy: You really don't want to go near the installer! It has so many years of workarounds for workarounds for workarounds that even the people that maintain it get lost!
[12:45] <sl1rpy> TJ-, oh... lol.
[12:46] <sl1rpy> anyhow.... the dialog should say to use apt-get autoremove instead of apt-get clean to resolve the issue.... and another, make the /boot partition bigger.

[13:05] <k1l_> synapse: should we wait for all users to say yes and no or will you start to ask the real question? :)
[13:05] <synapse> k1l_ Well if no one has experience with it they wouldn't know how to solve the problem :)

[13:06] <OerHeks> synapse, better ask in #ubuntu-server
[13:06] <k1l_> synapse: ok, we will never know then

[13:06] <synapse> OerHeks ok thank you
[13:07] <dRistzle> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11959502/
[13:07] <dRistzle> thats what the terminal states
[13:08] <dRistzle> my wireless networks show
[13:08] <dRistzle> but i cant connect to them
[13:08] <sl1rpy> man i cant WAIT till the ubuntu phones hit the states
[13:10] <k1l_> dRistzle: what gives you "uname -a" you can show the one line in here
[13:11] <dRistzle> k1l_: Linux dRistzle 3.16.0-45-generic #60~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:23 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[13:12] <k1l_> dRistzle: you could try if the 3.19 lts kernel will solve that
[13:13] <k1l_> dRistzle: install the package: linux-generic-lts-vivid
[13:13] <k1l_> after a restart the kernel 3.19 should be used. maybe that solves it already
[13:13] <artur_> what's up people )

[13:14] <steve-mcbutts> noobs
[13:14] <steve-mcbutts> sorry
[13:16] <mustmodify> I have a list of html files from `find . -name *.htm?` ... what's the right tool to find out which of those files does not include a certain string? (in this case, my Analytics tracking code.)
[13:17] <xrisk> mustmodify: grep should work
[13:17] <artur_> i ha one stupid problem with xubuntu and all family of ubuntu
[13:17] <OerHeks> mr analistic-tracking-code needs a tool to track a string .. humor
[13:17] <TJ-> mustmodify: "find . -name *.htm? -execdir grep -v 'CANT_FIND_THIS' {} \; "
[13:18] <mustmodify> Is execdir a parameter of find ?
[13:18] <mustmodify> Ah, so it is.
[13:19] <TJ-> mustmodify: Yes. it executes the command in the target directory, as opposed to "-exec" which uses the entire relative path.
[13:20] <mustmodify> so I know `grep -v` ... but I'll have to research the string there...
[13:20] <mustmodify> Oh... the string is the analytics code.
[13:20] <mustmodify> duh
[13:20] <mustmodify> and then I assume {} is like -I{}... ie where to put the filename.
[13:21] <artur_> my notebook has wifi button and when i press the button, blue-tooth is turning on
[13:21] <mustmodify> nice.
[13:21] <dRistzle> k1l_:im installing the package
[13:21] <TJ-> mustmodify: find replaces {} with the find filename path
[13:21] <mustmodify> right
[13:22] <mustmodify> I've done something similar with xargs.
[13:22] <dRistzle> k1l_ : installation completed
[13:23] <mustmodify> TJ: but when I do that I get back the contents of the files. I want the filenames.
[13:24] <mustmodify> so I guess I need a conditional
[13:25] <Pici> mustmodify: use the -H switch to grep to print the filenames
[13:25] <mustmodify> though obviously grep has a 'show me the filename' option.
[13:25] <dRistzle> thanks alot guys
[13:26] <mustmodify> yep I just did that, good suggestion.
[13:26] <dRistzle> wifi back up :D
[13:26] <Pici> /36/36
[13:26] <mcphail> mustmodify: have you tried ag (package silversearcher-ag)?
[13:26] <mcphail> mustmodify: can do what you need without messing around with find etc
[13:27] <mustmodify> TJ: Output is a bit of a mess, but I think I can clean it up. Thanks!
[13:27] <mustmodify> mcphail: Actually, someone turned me on to ag recently. Man it's fast.
[13:27] <mcphail> mustmodify: a bit buggy, but it works fairly well
[13:28] <dRistzle> k1l_: thanks alot :D it worked
[13:28] <k1l_> dRistzle: good to hear
[13:28] <mustmodify> mcphail: How would I solve this problem with that, though? I'm looking for files that DO NOT contain something.
[13:28] <mustmodify> Does bash include set subtraction? That would be cool.
[13:29] <mustmodify> Or actually I guess I could use ag from ruby and do set subtraction there. :)
[13:29] <TJ-> mustmodify: You can add options to the grep, if you only want the filenames use "grep -L ..."
[13:29] <mcphail> mustmodify: ag has the "-L" flag as well
[13:30] <EriC^^> mustmodify: find -name "*.." | while read bla; if grep -q "search"; echo $bla; done
[13:30] <mcphail> mustmodify: "Only print filenames that don´t contain matches."
[13:30] <EriC^^> something like that will list all files that don't contain it
[13:30] <TJ-> EriC^^: that's a lot of overahead for just using "grep -L ..." :)
[13:30] <EriC^^> sorry use if ! grep -q "search" $bla; echo $bla; done
[13:30] <EriC^^> TJ-: i'm a motorhead so it comes natural to me :P
[13:31] <EriC^^> j/k..
[13:31] <TJ-> EriC^^: OK, remind me not to let you fit a turbo-charger :)
[13:31] <mcphail> mustmodify: try "ag --html -L pattern"
[13:32] <EriC^^> lol, i was j/k TJ- :p
[13:32] <mustmodify> mcphail: Oh... well, uh... that solves my problem then. Thanks so much! That will save me zoodles of time in the future.
[13:33] <TJ-> mustmodify: this works fine for me:  e.g. "  find /usr/share/doc/ -type f -name '*.html' -execdir grep -L 'DTD' {} \;  "
[13:33] <mcphail> mustmodify: np
[13:34] <EriC^^> TJ-: won't that find everything that includes the search? i thought he wanted the files that dont include it?
[13:34] <mustmodify> TJ: even simpler: `ag UA-6572xxx-1 . -L|grep htm `
[13:34] <mcphail> mustmodify: if you find ag a bit buggy, I have a PPA with some custom patches which fix a few of the errors
[13:45] <DWSR> Hey all, what's the guest session username? I'm trying to enable auto-login in lxdm.
[13:51] <dRistzle> please help me out.My wifi is only remaining connected for a minute or two after which it stops working on ubuntu
[13:52] <dRistzle> and wont work until i restart ubuntu.and will disconnect again after 2 mins
[13:53] <Ackis> is there a way to test out changes to my sudoers file before committing to them?
[13:53] <DWSR> Hey all, what's the guest session username? I'm trying to enable auto-login in lxdm.
[13:54] <cfhowlett> DWSR, open a terminal.  type who
[13:54] <tanathos> or whoami
[13:59] <dRistzle> k1l_: Sorry to bother you.But your solution is'nt working
[13:59] <DWSR> cfhowlett: It's a different variation of guest-r4nd0m every time I login.
[14:00] <cfhowlett> DWSR, exactly.  thus "no name" ...
[14:00] <dRistzle> k1l_: My wifi turns off after 2 minutes of restarting ubuntu.
[14:00] <DWSR> cfhowlett: Yes, but I want to enable auto-login to guest session from LXDM. All the results from searching through mention config files for lightdm or lxdm that don't exist on my system.
[14:01] <OerHeks> dRistzle, known issues with that RTL8723BE http://askubuntu.com/questions/457341/wifi-drops-and-wont-reconnect-until-reboot-14-04-with-rtl8723be and even this solution did not work perfectly http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-trusty-realtek.html
[14:01] <cfhowlett> DWSR, install lxde?
[14:02] <cfhowlett> DWSR, or go whole hog: lubuntu
[14:02] <DWSR> cfhowlett: I have lxde installed (I did a Lubuntu minimal install)
[14:02] <cfhowlett> DWSR, and the guest does NOT have lxde running?
[14:03] <TJ-> EriC^^: delayed reaction but ... "-L, --files-without-match"
[14:03] <EriC^^> TJ-: oh ok, thanks
[14:04] <DWSR> cfhowlett: End goal: User presses power button: Some indeterminate amount of time later, they are presented with a DE that's the guest session. Currently I can manually login to the guest session, but I want to literally have "push button, receive bacon"
[14:04] <DWSR> The guest session has everything running properly.
[14:04] <cheetahw26> how can I force a reinstall of a package and also reinstall all configuration files?
[14:04] <TJ-> Just found out, duckduckgo had blocked my IP ... unblocked now and they have a bug :)
[14:05] <cfhowlett> DWSR, so "kiosk" mode?
[14:05] <DWSR> cfhowlett: Eh, pretty much
[14:05] <cheetahw26> for some reason when I try to install postgresql I keep getting errors, files are missing in the data directory... something must have happened during the install where some files were copied, but not others
[14:06] <OerHeks> cheetahw26, uninstall with the purge option and start over again
[14:06] <cfhowlett> DWSR, do-able but outside my area.  suggest you access the lubuntu or lxde support channels.
[14:06] <DWSR> I wanted to do a minimal Lubuntu install because these are old laptops. These laptops literally have network manager, LXDE, and Chrome installed.
[14:06] <DWSR> Lubuntu support channel's dead.
[14:06] <DWSR> Where's the lxde support channel? #lxde?
[14:07] <cheetahw26> apt-get remove postgresql, then apt-get purge postgresql ?
[14:07] <cfhowlett> DWSR, I believe so.  http://lxde.org/irc/
[14:07] <fontis> Hmm.. I can't seem to decide between elementary and ubuntu gnome :<
[14:07] <fontis> The suspense is killing me
[14:07] <cfhowlett> fontis, install virtualbox.  install both.  test.  choose.
[14:08] <OerHeks> cheetahw26, apt-get remove --purge postgresql
[14:08] <DWSR> cfhowlett: Irony being that mibbit is banned on freenode. Thanks
[14:08] <cfhowlett> DWSR, https://github.com/MobilityLab/TransitScreen/wiki/Lubuntu-kiosk-setup-procedures
[14:09] <cheetahw26> thanks... think I need to remove all of the others too, i.e. client, client-common, common, etc?
[14:09] <OerHeks> cheetahw26, i would just apt-get install --reinstall , not sure why you think files are missing
[14:09] <cheetahw26> error shows not a vaild directory PG_VERSION is missing...
[14:11] <cheetahw26> thanks... remove --purge finally was able to get rid of them completely from dpkg, reinstalling now
[14:26] <dididodo> hi... is there something like a single-click mute/unmute for audio output?
[14:27] <reisio> some volume applet icons can do that
[14:27] <cfhowlett> dididodo, laptop
[14:27] <cfhowlett> ?
[14:28] <dididodo> reisio, a button i n the gnome panel would be perfect ... single click mute and unmute to the old volume setting
[14:30] <reisio> also you can make your own easily enough
[14:30] <reisio> mapped to a pavucontrol toggle command or something
[14:30]  * reisio would just use a keyboard shortcut at that point, though
[14:31] <dididodo> reisio.. ok, thats an alternative, you are right
[14:32] <dididodo> i'll check out pavucontrol, thx
[14:34] <eein> how can i find the name of a network interface to set as active?
[14:34] <eein> i think the proprietary driver loaded
[14:39] <TJ-> eein: "ip link show"
[14:41] <eein> TJ it hasn't been made active
[14:41] <eein> so it doesnt show there. lshw -class network shows the NICs but provides no logical name and shows as UNCLAIMED
[14:42] <eein> i am trying to make it active
[14:42] <eein> but i need the logical name to edit the network config
[14:43] <eein> i guess unclaimed means no dirver?
[14:44] <TJ-> eein: Then there is no interface, just a hardware device with no kernel module driver
[14:46] <eein> maybe i grabbed the wrong package. what is 14.04 trusty? (why use cutsie names just call it by number)
[14:46] <eein> i don't see trusty
[14:46] <eein> https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/firmware-bnx2
[14:46] <DWSR> eein: Code names are very useful as opposed to saying fourteen point oh four.
[14:47] <DWSR> eein: Obviously typing the numbers is shorter, but saying the name verbally is shorter.
[14:47] <DWSR> Also, more memorable.
[14:47] <eein> ok, thats an opinion. i find it annoying to remember every distros names
[14:47] <eein> you could just say 14 lts
[14:48] <DWSR> I have lightdm logging my Lubuntu minimal install into a guest session by default. I edited failsafe.conf to stop Plymouth from waiting for the network to be up before booting, however now NetworkManager isn't starting by default. Is there a better way to do this?
[14:48] <DWSR> eein: Sure, which works for the distinction between 14 series releses, but what about 15.04, 15.10?
[14:49] <eein> well isnt .04 stable and .10 bleeding
[14:49] <DWSR> Eventually it's stable.
[14:49] <eein> .04 are eventually stable?
[14:50] <eein> anyway that was decided by people smarter than me. but how would i get a 14.04 package for this https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/firmware-bnx2
[14:51] <OerHeks> !bcm
[14:53] <eein> OerHeks, those are for wireless drivers, mine is a wired 5716
[14:54] <OerHeks> eein, i see. netxtreme was removed from linux-firmware some time ago http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/main/base/linux-firmware
[14:55] <eein> so where does that leave me? OerHeks
[15:00] <eein> I have the same server running 14.04 with a working driver. Can I move the associated files to the non working server?  lshw on the working shows driver=bnx2
[15:00] <Freeder> Hi, I'm thinking about moving my 4xRAID mdadm setup from one machine to another- what do I need to be mindful of, so that I don't lose my data on those disks?
[15:00] <eein> how can I match that to a deb
[15:00] <BOY_slim> hi
[15:01] <BOY_slim> I am first time here
[15:01] <TJ-> eein: what is the PCI device ID (" lspci -nn ")
[15:01] <BOY_slim> I am from Italy
[15:02] <BOY_slim> Is there anyone from Italy ?
[15:02] <lotuspsychje> !it | BOY_slim
[15:02] <mistralo1> hi
[15:02] <mistralo1> I have some problem where a program cannot find a shared lib.
[15:03] <eein> 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5716 Gigabit Ethernet [14e4:163b] (rev 20)
[15:03] <lotuspsychje> mistralo1: can you explain to channel whats happening exactly
[15:03] <mistralo1> If i add it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH the program works. But that isn't suitable. but when I add it to the ld.so.conf it doesn't work (even after running ldconfig)
[15:03] <mistralo1> Its not a suitable solution because the program is suid and LD_LIBRARY_PATH wont be accepted
[15:04] <TJ-> eein: the kernel has a driver built-in for that "bnx2" so something is preventing it being loaded. Can you "pastebinit <( /var/log/dmesg)"
[15:04] <lotuspsychje> mistralo1: wich program are you talking about
[15:05] <mistralo1> lotuspsychje: its a custom program. Which is using pango and the pango lib fails to load which is in an odd place /usr/lib64/pango/1.8.0/modules/
[15:05] <shanker> hi friends ia ma having a issue with playonlinux PlayOnLinux is unable to find 32bits OpenGL libraries.
[15:05] <shanker> You might encounter problem with your games
[15:05] <LUCAS-ARG1> hello, i have ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop with a sshd ive installe root into the ssd part of the disk and home in hdd, its ok to have that setup? i did not wanted to go with bcache configuration setup
[15:05] <eein> TJ that is the working server, I am trying to get a server of the same model up that does not have the driver. I found and sneakernetted the driver to the working system at some time but cannot find the package anymore and want to copy over the package from the working to the non working
[15:06] <mistralo1> just not sure why it wont work when added to ld.so.conf. Even when looking in the output of strace it won't scan that dir for the shared lib
[15:06] <TJ-> eein: If the server you are targeting is Ubuntu, with 14.04, then it has the bnx2 driver and supporting firmware installed as part of the kernel packages
[15:06] <quang> hi
[15:06] <eein> TJ when I install, no NICs are found
[15:06] <quang> something wierd
[15:06] <shanker> issue-PlayOnLinux is unable to find 32bits OpenGL libraries.
[15:06] <shanker> You might encounter problem with your games
[15:07] <quang> my desktop has nothing on it
[15:07] <quang> just my background
[15:07] <quang> and a mouse cursor
[15:07] <eein> if it were in the kernel wouldnt it load it from the CD?
[15:07] <quang> wtf
[15:07] <quang> what happeend
[15:07] <eein> quang, you need to restart the window manager
[15:07] <quang> how?
[15:07] <mistralo1> lotuspsychje: any ideas?
[15:07] <quang> i did a lot of things
[15:07] <LUCAS-ARG1> hey guys if i have an sshd and install the system in the ssd part of the disk and use the rest as home instead of using bache its ok?
[15:07] <lotuspsychje> mist: no sorry
[15:08] <TJ-> eein: try "modprobe bnx2" and then check kern.log
[15:08] <quang> http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears
[15:08] <quang> i did that
[15:08] <quang> but it didnt work
[15:08] <quang> are u talkin about that?  or to do something else?
[15:09] <TJ-> LUCAS-ARG1: most integrated sshd's don't let you address the flash cache separately
[15:11] <LUCAS-ARG1> TJ-: i was able to do it... im not sure if its ok... "/" is installed there and everything is running ok... just dont know if its ok to do so
[15:11] <LUCAS-ARG1> !ssd
[15:12] <TJ-> LUCAS-ARG1: You wrote "sshd" - was that a mis-type. Do you mean the PC has a HDD and a SSD and you want to use bcache on the SSD? In which case, yes, that's a good combo
[15:13] <LUCAS-ARG1> TJ-: well its a disk with 32gb of ssd, just 1 disk... but i see it as a separate disk on gparted so i was able to install "/" ok the ssd part and "home" in the regular part of the disk...
[15:14] <eein> TJ-, Jul 29 11:13:33 bion kernel: [ 5518.904608] bnx2x: Broadcom NetXtreme II 5771x/578xx 10/20-Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2x 1.78.17-0 (2013/04/11)
[15:14] <Guest93521> Hello
[15:14] <eein> trying to find bnx2x 1.78.17-0....
[15:14] <TJ-> eein: So the driver had loaded - you should see further messages showing the PHYs found
[15:15] <eein> TJ-, that is from the working server
[15:15] <TJ-> eein: that's not helping is it? We're not trying to fix an issue on the good server!
[15:15] <eein> TJ-, i am trying to locate the driver package for the non working server which doesn't have a driver
[15:16] <TJ-> eein: I told you - the driver is *part of the standard kernel packakes*
[15:17] <TJ-> eein: "dpkg -S bnx2.ko" ==> "linux-image-extra-3.13.0-58-generic: /lib/modules/3.13.0-58-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2.ko"
[15:18] <R0b0t1> does anybody have any references w.r.t. nokia lumia 1020s running ubuntu?
[15:20] <reisio> think -touch keeps a list, R0b0t1
[15:20] <TJ-> eein: if that driver is missing I'm not convinced the server has Ubuntu on it; it could be Debian
[15:20] <k1l_> R0b0t1: most of that devices dont load other OSs becuase of locked bootloaders. and since there are no linux drivers (like for android devices) its a extra burden
[15:21] <k1l_> but yes, #ubuntu-touch is the channel with the specialists
[15:22] <R0b0t1> k1l_, often the bootloader is locked but will load most OSes you put onto it, per android phones. But seeing as it was a windows phone device I was wondering how they managed to load any alternative OS at all.
[15:22] <daftykins> phones are a bit off topic :)
[15:23] <R0b0t1> so is pedantry ;)
[15:23] <daftykins> no, we have channel rules
[15:23] <daftykins> there's another channel for ubuntu phone stuff
[15:25] <lotuspsychje> R0b0t1: try the #ubuntu-touch channel and the XDA forum for existing projects
[15:25] <eein> TJ-, I just installed 14.04 I have the CD. when I go through the install no NIC is detected
[15:26] <eein> I show the bnx2x in the kern.log on both servers but the one that isnt working shows UNCLAIMED
[15:27] <eein> it also doesn't explain why if it is in the kernel that the installer wouldnt find the NIC
[15:29] <CB6> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11960220/ am I missing anything in my samba conf that would cause me not to see it?
[15:29] <lotuspsychje> CB6: did you try the #samba channel?
[15:29] <ioria> eein ubuntu server installer or mini.iso ?
[15:29] <TJ-> eein: can you grab the output of dmesg from the bad server and pastebin please?
[15:30] <CB6> didn't knw there was one
[15:30] <TJ-> eein: The BNX2 driver is in the "linux-image-extra-<kernel-version>" package, and the firmware (if required) is in "linux-firmware"
[15:32] <ioria> C86 i think you have no shares
[15:32] <CB6> the GUI has shares specified but perhaps the conf file needs a change also?
[15:33] <CB6> Like I have right clicked and selected share options. Both computers are on the same workgroup so I know that is right
[15:33]  * eein flips table gently
[15:33] <ioria> C86 i never used the gui for that, sorry
[15:33] <eein> idk whats wrong I popped the disc in a third r210 and it found the NIC
[15:34] <CB6> when you do smbtree does it typically show beyond samba running the folder shares?
[15:34] <eein> something must be wrong with the hardware on the second r210. I'll double check BIOS but I believe it is all correct and there is not configuration available for NIC
[15:34] <daftykins> eein: module isn't loaded by the sounds, if a NIC is unclaimed
[15:34] <CB6> I just want to share some basic folders /home/user/videos etc
[15:35] <CB6> Teamviewer for some reason is capped at 120KB lol so slow
[15:35] <eein> daftykins, yeah but something must be wrong before then because the installer CD finds NIC on other identical servers just not this one
[15:35] <CB6> I selected LAN in options but it made no difference. I should be seeing like wireless N transfer rates
[15:36] <daftykins> eein: maybe it only picks one for primary and doesn't set them all up
[15:37] <Raulwynn> How may I setup my nvidia videocard to work with gaming? Is there a GPU monitor available?
[15:37] <CB6> conky you mean?
[15:38] <rebs> raul, use the nvidia propriettary drivers
[15:38] <CB6> Conky hasa GPU monitor
[15:38] <mcphail> Raulwynn: not sure what you mean by a GPU monitor, but nvidia-settings will allow you to look at temperatures etc if you install the proprietary drivers
[15:38] <CB6> more for general desktop stuff from I could see
[15:39] <pl> Hi, I need a little favor. Can anybody using Chromium on Ubuntu 15.04 try this command: ldd /usr/lib/chromium/chromium | grep srtp
[15:39] <pl> and let me know the output?
[15:39] <DWSR> Anyone know why, on a Lubuntu install, Network Manager only comes up a couple minutes after I boot to the desktop environment?
[15:39] <Raulwynn> rebs: Yes, I am but I'm watching my gpu while gaming and the driver won't use more than 50% gpu and the game is studdering pretty bad.
[15:39] <Raulwynn> I'm using nvidia drivers.
[15:40] <Dumle29> If I want to add a custom URL handler, how would I go about doing this? Running ubuntu gnome 15.04
[15:40] <mcphail> Raulwynn: are you sure the performance is GPU bound?
[15:40] <Raulwynn> mcphail: How would I tell?
[15:40] <CB6> Samba channel is a graveyard lol
[15:40] <Raulwynn> i'm using a watch nvidia-smi command
[15:40] <CB6> nobody chatting in there but tons of people in the room
[15:41] <mcphail> Raulwynn: you'd need to mointor _everything_ (CPU, GPU, disks, network) and see where the bottleneck appears. Probably not on-topic for this channel though
[15:41] <Dumle29> Specifically I'd want steam://advertise/<id> perform the command: steam steam://advertise/<id>
[15:42] <Raulwynn> mcphail: I figured as this would be a programming/program issue on Ubuntu, it would be on topic, but that's cool. Where should I go?
[15:42] <pl> I'm trying to help sorting out a but. The output of that command would help me. Anybody willing to help?
[15:42] <pl> ldd /usr/lib/chromium/chromium | grep srtp
[15:42] <mcphail> Raulwynn: also, make sure you are on the latest proprietary drivers. What version are you using?
[15:42] <compdoc> CB6, which samba gui do you use? the gnome one?
[15:42] <TJ-> eein: dmesg should show if there's some issue configuring the device... my guess is some kind of PCI BAR mapping issue
[15:43] <Raulwynn> mcphail: 304.125
[15:43] <mcphail> Raulwynn: and what game? Those drivers are too old for things like Witcher2 etc
[15:43] <Kartagis> I need help with http://askubuntu.com/questions/648663/any-way-to-recover-my-3tb-usb-hdd
[15:43] <Raulwynn> That was suggested as best stable driver for GTX 6xx . Bioshock Infinite.
[15:44] <Kartagis> someone has 100 points with their name on it
[15:44] <Raulwynn> Where can I review the drivers for which videocards?
[15:44] <mcphail> Raulwynn: 304 is stable, but not performant
[15:44] <Raulwynn> mcphail: That was not explained to me, where can I find this information?
[15:45] <OerHeks> Kartagis, it is not broken man !
[15:45] <mcphail> Raulwynn: gaming on Ubuntu is still fairly niche, so there isn't a big repository of information. Often useful to keep up with the Steam Forums and Phoronix.com
[15:45] <OerHeks> Kartagis, you need fuse for that exfat >> sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/451364/how-to-enable-exfat-in-ubuntu-14-04
[15:46] <Kartagis> what is not broken?
[15:46] <mcphail> Raulwynn: the 304 drivers are not suitable for many modern games
[15:46] <pl> Nobody using chromium?
[15:46] <mcphail> Raulwynn: nvidia have a forum with linux information as well
[15:46] <Raulwynn> mcphail: Okay. thanks
[15:47] <Raulwynn> I just was told to use this driver. haha
[15:47] <mcphail> Raulwynn: the "unsupported" way to do things is to install the xorg edgers PPA and use the latest drivers on there. Of course, PPAs can be unstable and can break system upgrades
[15:48] <CB6> compdoc the default GUI for 14 desktop 64 bit Ubuntu
[15:48] <CB6> I'm actually not sure if it's "Unity" or "Gnome"
[15:49] <TJ-> CB6: that'll be Unity
[15:50] <CB6> k
[15:51] <CB6> I have firewall on so I was told to check out GUFW to see if firewall rules are blocking it in the Linux chat.
[15:52] <_SLM_> Is there a good equal to ZoneAlarm on Linux? As in, I like the feature of this firewall that in the beginning it notifies me of everything happening for which I do Allow/Deny/Allow And Remember/Deny And Remember. Thus allowing me to be in control of what happens on my system in every aspect of system processes and internet connections, while not having to manually update blocklists/whilelists
[15:52] <_SLM_> *whitelists
[15:53] <daftykins> _SLM_: not hugely, in what situations do you feel you're running a program and don't want it to talk online?
[15:53] <DWSR> Can I configured networkmanager to allow guest sessions to configure the WiFi?
[15:53] <Kartagis> OerHeks: it says  ERROR: exFAT file system is not found when I try to mount
[15:53] <Fuchs> _SLM_: these so called personal firewalls are a horrible and useless thing, so no, fortunately there isn't
[15:53] <daftykins> i would argue most Windows users doing that are doing so because they're running illegal software and want to prevent it phoning home :)
[15:53] <CB6> evidently I don't have GUFW installed. WHat's the default firewall for Ubuntu that you enable? I know I enabled the firewall
[15:53] <Fuchs> _SLM_: on Linux you tend to have just only the ports open for actual services you provide, and these are configured in a sane way (e.g. ssh with public key auth only and maybe fail2ban)
[15:53] <daftykins> iptables, UFW is a front-end for it
[15:54] <_SLM_> daftykins, I like being in control of my own system, so in all situations. In the beginning I do a lot of ¨does this make sense? yes: allow&rmemeber no: deny&remember
[15:54] <TJ-> Kartagis: The type value shown by fdisk is not guaranteed to be correct, and doesn't need to be
[15:54] <daftykins> _SLM_: it does but i don't personally see the point :)
[15:54] <TJ-> Kartagis: Try "sudo blkid /dev/sdc"
[15:55] <daftykins> _SLM_: to me, if it's running at all, it's a problem
[15:55] <Kartagis> TJ-: no output
[15:55] <TJ-> Kartagis:  sorry, typo, try "sudo blkid /dev/sdc[12]"
[15:56]  * Kartagis is baffled
[15:56] <_SLM_> I prefer being prompted on everything and setting rules to eventually be prompted less
[15:56] <_SLM_> this appoach saved me from some virusses in the past
[15:56] <_SLM_> where my virus scan was being useless
[15:57] <TJ-> Kartagis: it might help if you describe the actual problem
[15:57] <CB6> UFW is the downloadable GUI for IPtables?
[15:57] <Kartagis> TJ-:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/648663/any-way-to-recover-my-3tb-usb-hdd
[15:57] <daftykins> _SLM_: viruses - or preferably, malware in general isn't an issue in Linux land - so i think you ought to retire this approach
[15:57] <mcphail> _SLM_: I have looked at various things a couple of years ago and never found anything equivalent to ZoneAlarm etc. Might have changed recently
[15:57] <_SLM_> I se
[15:57] <_SLM_> see
[15:58] <TJ-> Kardos: That doesn't describe any *problem* - what is actually wrong? You have a 3TB drive that you know should have data on, in one or both partitions, and now you can't access the data?
[15:58] <Kartagis> TJ-: that's right
[15:58] <_SLM_> daftykins, I know virusses are less of an issue, but I also appreciate the part of being in control of whats happening without having to monitor anything manually
[15:59] <TJ-> Kartagis: now we're getting somewhere! ... was the drive in another PC when there was valid data?
[15:59] <Homely_Girl> Hi my 8 yr old has beat me into submission to install Minecraft.....it's a .jar file, can you help me set up an easy access icon for her to use plse? I don't know how to run the jar file , sorry 2 be a nuisance
[15:59] <daftykins> _SLM_: ok, well good luck finding something. don't think it's gonna happen though
[15:59] <_SLM_> ok..
[15:59] <k1l_> _SLM_: that sort of windows firewalls gives you a false impression  of what that actually does.
[15:59] <_SLM_> k1l_ like?
[16:00] <OerHeks> Homely_Girl, easy to do > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
[16:00] <daftykins> Homely_Girl: tonnes of guides online, look up your version of ubuntu, it'll show how to install a java version then potentially make a double-click script to launch it.
[16:00] <Kartagis> TJ-: no, at the same PC. I've just tried a few other distros and came back to ubuntu. and it wasn't working
[16:00] <k1l_> _SLM_: so if you dont have a program listening on a port, that port is not "opened"
[16:00] <Kartagis> it was working before that
[16:00] <TJ-> Kartagis: Was the drive always connected over the USB link?
[16:00] <k1l_> _SLM_: "netstat -tulpen" will show you what is running
[16:01] <Kartagis> that's right
[16:01] <Kartagis> TJ-: the only difference is that its usb 3.0 was broken so I had the case replaced
[16:02] <Homely_Girl> daftykins, Just 'cos I know how to run apt-get does not mean I know how to make a script!  I can see the utility in having a program like this
[16:02] <Homely_Girl> OerHeks, Thanks for the link.
[16:02] <_SLM_> k1l_, I know how ports work, I am a developer, I´m supposed to. I know zonealarm is basicly a prompt-based whitelist with rules
[16:02] <TJ-> Kartagis: OK, so if "blkid" doesn't identify any file-system data in those partitions it looks as if something, at some point, has wiped part or all of the contents
[16:03] <_SLM_> Maybe I should write it and open source it.. I wonder if it would be difficult to do in linux..
[16:03] <k1l_> _SLM_: ufw, or better gufw, could be something that you want
[16:03] <Kartagis> TJ-: sudo fdisk -l shows the partitions though
[16:04] <Kartagis> sorry
[16:04] <mcphail> _SLM_: there isn't so much need for it, as most of the software we run is OPen Soource and heavily curated. Furthermore, when Snappy is introduced, a lot of the trust issues with applications will be minimised
[16:04] <TJ-> _SLM_: Linux doesn't activate listening services unless specifically requested, and on Desktops in LANs there's no publicly accessible ports unless the gateway is port-mapping (IPv4) or direct-addressing (IPv6). The only benefit would be for *outgoing* connections is that what you want to monitor?
[16:04] <Kartagis> TJ-: the disk is also babbling about GPT and MBR
[16:04] <Homely_Girl> OerHeks, Link did not work :(
[16:05] <AbuDhar> Master Boot Record? :D
[16:05] <Kartagis> aye
[16:05] <kurt_> hı
[16:05] <_SLM_> k1l_ thanks for the suggestion.
[16:05] <mcphail> _SLM_: however, at this point in time I am running more proprietary software on Ubuntu than ever before and I would appreciate a program like ZoneAlarm
[16:05] <_SLM_> TJ- yes, outgoing
[16:06] <daftykins> normal TJ- service will be resumed shortly
[16:06] <daftykins> :)
[16:06] <AbuDhar> GPT is becoming the standard ?
[16:06] <AbuDhar> MBR is only for Win
[16:06] <AbuDhar> ?
[16:06] <Kartagis> I'm not sure
[16:07] <_SLM_> mcphail I think commercial software will find it´s way to linux depending on its own popularity, like linux games. So yeah, not everything is open source and therefor trusted
[16:07] <k1l_> AbuDhar: no, mbr and gpt is not win or linux only
[16:07] <daftykins> and now back to your regular TJ- programming :)
[16:07] <mcphail> _SLM_: snappy will help with this, though
[16:08] <Kartagis> TJ-: oh, there is another difference. laptop's fs was reiserfs and the disk is reiserfs as well
[16:08] <TJ-> Kartagis: showing the partition layout (by fdisk) only requires reading the first 512 bytes of the device though, it has no bearing on what may have happened elsewhere on the device
[16:08] <_SLM_> mcphail http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/tools/snappy?
[16:08] <Kartagis> but I get wrong fstype when I try to mount with -t reiserfs
[16:09] <AbuDhar> k1l_, that's not what I said.. I was saying that GPT works for all OS'
[16:09] <AbuDhar> while MBR is only Windows, right?
[16:09] <AbuDhar> or not?
[16:09] <boltzz> :( Having major issues guys. Why doesn't linux ever just... work?
[16:09] <AbuDhar> can Linux use MBR?
[16:09] <mcphail> _SLM_: that is the core nugget of it, but (with a lot of work) it will be polished and brought to the desktop
[16:09] <k1l_> AbuDhar: that is wrong. MBR was before gpt. and works for linux too
[16:09] <daftykins> AbuDhar: MBR is cross OS :>
[16:09] <TJ-> MBR = Master Boot Record, and is a disk label format used originally with BIOS. That only allowed 4 primary partitions, then along came GUID Partition Tables (GPT) with 128 primaries by default, and many more useful functions too. GPT generally uses the first *and last* 34 x 512 bytes (sectors) of the device
[16:09] <AbuDhar> okay :>
[16:10] <k1l_> boltzz: it does for me :)
[16:10] <boltzz> I'm trying to install xubuntu on my machine. I have had xubuntu on this machine and on this very SSD before, but now whenever I install, I boot up for the first time to a blinking cursor.
[16:10] <boltzz> No splash screens, no grub menus, just a black screen with a blinking cursor.
[16:10] <_SLM_> mcphail, considering a linux move now, whatever technologies happen in 5 years is good for then :)
[16:10] <boltzz> I've tried pressing ESC, I've tried pressing shift. Nothing.
[16:10] <TJ-> boltzz: Do you have more than one disk device attached, such as a USB mass storage device?
[16:11] <boltzz> TJ-, I quite a few additional internal HDs.
[16:11] <mcphail> _SLM_: true. If you find a ZoneAlarm equivalent, let me know :)
[16:11] <boltzz> boltzz, but why should they be an issue?
[16:11] <boltzz> boltzz, I'm not dual booting, I'm telling xubuntu to install on this particular SSD in its entirety.
[16:13] <TJ-> boltzz: if there are multiple drives then the problem is you've not set the drive you want as the boot drive, or else you accidentally installed the boot-loader to another disk
[16:13] <AbuDhar> Windows can only boot from GPT on UEFI-based computers running 64-bit versions of Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, and corresponding server versions.
[16:13] <AbuDhar> All versions of Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, and Vista can read GPT drives and use them for data — they just can’t boot from them without UEFI.
[16:13] <boltzz> TJ-, I am manually selecting this drive as the boot.
[16:14] <boltzz> TJ-, how could I have accidentally installed the bootloader on the wrong drive?
[16:14] <boltzz> TJ-, how can I install without doing so?
[16:14] <TJ-> boltzz: Right ... but if the boot-loader was accidentally installed to another drive... there's no bootloader on the drive you're selecting
[16:14] <boltzz> TJ-, okay, fair enough. Could be. How do I check where the bootloader ended up and how do I ensure it ends up on the drive I'm installing to?
[16:15] <TJ-> boltzz: if, for example, there are 6 drives in the PC, then the installer will not know which drive is the correct one to install the boot-loader to and will often choose the first disk discovered, which it would call /dev/sda ... and might not be the SSD you're installing the OS to
[16:16] <TJ-> boltzz: if you've not changed anything else I'd see if just letting the PC boot to its default boot device gets you to GRUB, and possibly the OS installed. I'd hold down shift as it boots to catch the GRUB boot menu, and then double-check from there the entries are the SSD ones I expected to see.

[16:23] <subthalamus> Hello, where would you start troubleshooting a spontaneous shutdown in kubuntu?
[16:23] <subthalamus> I think the T410 is overheating but how do I check and why doesn't it do it in Winders?
[16:23] <lotuspsychje> GAM002: did you add ppa's?
[16:23] <subthalamus> do I need to tweak fan settings or something?
[16:24] <cfhowlett> subthalamus, it'll likely be recorded in the logs, but if you've already narrowed it down to overheating ...
[16:24] <subthalamus> cfhowlett: which logs specifically?
[16:25] <subthalamus> cfhowlett: I say overheating as a guess. it tends to be when something video intensive is running and it if freaking hot where I live right now
[16:25] <cfhowlett> subthalamus, dmesg | more is a likely place to start
[16:25] <cfhowlett> subthalamus, ah, that sounds familiar - graphics card overload

[16:31] <subthalamus> I'll sit it on icepacks :)
[16:31] <GAM002> lotuspsychje: sorry for the late reply. What is ppa?
[16:34] <lotuspsychje> !ppa | GAM002
[16:35] <TJ-> subthalamus: those errors are critical, and were introduced with commit 32b7eeec4. Which Ubuntu release/kernel version is being used there?
[16:35] <GAM002> lotuspsychje: aah yes i did add and extra download source for installing steam
[16:35] <CB6> If you had Samba running and no shares in theory would the Samba machine at least show up in the workgroup when you click network?
[16:35] <GAM002> client
[16:35] <CB6> I disabled the firewall and it still didn't show up in the workgroup
[16:36] <lotuspsychje> GAM002: you might wanna remove that ppa from sources and apt-get update
[16:36] <GAM002> why?
[16:36] <GAM002> i think there is an update available waiting to be installed for steam client could that be the reason?
[16:36] <subthalamus> Description:    Ubuntu 15.04

[16:36] <subthalamus> Codename:       vivid
[16:37] <GAM002> is it beacause i havent installed the update?
[16:37] <subthalamus> TJ-: vivid , sorry remind me how to check the video driver version in use?
[16:37] <TJ-> subthalamus: check the kernel version with "uname -r"
[16:38] <lotuspsychje> GAM002: might be because of the ppa you added, always a risk

[16:41] <TJ-> subthalamus: it looks like this bug #1436590 (several other similar bugs too)
[16:41] <designbybeck> Is there a Ubuntu Background Image going on with this device? https://www.ily.co/ if you scroll down towards the bottom
[16:42] <TJ-> subthalamus: if you can't fix it any other way it might be worth trying out the latest xorg-edgers PPA packages at https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[16:45] <lotuspsychje> designbybeck: it looks like it, but i dont think it is
[16:45] <subthalamus> TJ-: can I just restart Xorg or do I need to reboot?
[16:45] <designbybeck> does look pretty close but I didn't know either lotuspsychje
[16:46] <designbybeck> lotuspsychje, though I'm sure there is a raspberry pi add on that will make that same thing for much cheaper! ;)
[16:46] <CB6> has Unity been buggy for Samba folder shares?

[16:49] <cfhowlett> CB6, 14.04 or 14.10 (EOL/DOA)
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> CB6: there is Ubuntu 14.04 (Codenamed Trusty) and Ubuntu 14.10 (Codenamed Utopic, which is EOL)
[16:50] <TJ-> subthalamus: it looks like a serious kernel error
