[13:40] <h_hauck_> bzz computer is dark
[13:40] <yes1> whoever: I'm unable to ping the router since I'm unable to connect to it. But using an ethernet cable, I'm able to ping and login to it.
[13:40] <h_hauck_> like a cookie :(
[13:41] <yes1> yes1: both network
[13:41] <whoever> yes1: do you know the ip of your router
[13:41] <yes1> yes1: both network_manager and the router are using the same auth scheme.
[13:41] <tcu99> Router???
[13:41] <legrandin> hey guys im trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 and something weird is happening. It only gives me the option to install INSIDE and not ALONGSIDE Windows 7, and it sends me back to windows 7 after i select this option. Any idea what to do?
[13:41] <cfhowlett> h_hauck_ go the #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:41] <whoever> yes1: can you pring your router from the other computer
[13:41] <yes1> whoever: Basically, I can see my router using wifi, but cannot connect.
[13:41] <h_hauck_> and also i like turtles
[13:42] <Pici> h_hauck_: If you haev a support question, ask it on one line and then wait for a response. Do not flood this channel with nonsense.
[13:42] <cfhowlett> legrandin do NOT use the "inside windows" option.  that's wubi - well-intentioned but fatally flawed testing method
[13:42] <holstein> legrandin: you can always manually partition..
[13:42] <tcu99> h_hauck: Nobody is interested in your turtles
[13:42] <whoever> yes1: did you unknowingly blacklist that box
[13:42] <legrandin> yeah i know howlett, so i have to manually partition?
[13:42] <holstein> legrandin: nevermind.. that is likely the situation.. please read..
[13:42] <yes1> whoever: I doubt it.
[13:42] <holstein> !install
[13:42] <h_hauck_> i said i cannot open my docum,ments
[13:42] <h_hauck_> bzz computer is dark
[13:42] <holstein> legrandin: you dont want wubi, if you want dual boot
[13:42] <h_hauck_> like a cookie :(
[13:42] <legrandin> thanks
[13:43] <h_hauck_> and also i like turtles
[13:43] <Pici> h_hauck_: What happens when you try, do you get an error?
[13:43] <holstein> h_hauck_: what specifically happens when trying to open "documents" ?
[13:43] <cfhowlett> legrandin manual paritioning would do the trick
[13:43] <h_hauck_> bzz computer is dark
[13:43] <h_hauck_> like a cookie :(
[13:43] <whoever> yes1:  i had a simler connection issue, and it turned out i was useing aes on the box and tpk on the router
[13:43] <cfhowlett> h_hauck_ send a screenshot
[13:43] <whoever> that is why i am assuming that you just have a setting issue
[13:43] <yes1> whoever: I'll doublecheck now, just in case.
[13:44] <whoever> yes1: you could alway save your config of the router, then reset it and try to connect
[13:44] <yes1> whoever: It's sad, but I think that's the way to go.
[13:45] <yes1> whoever: I might have to do that. But I'll try a few things first
[13:45] <whoever> yes1: is your subnet correct
[13:45] <yes1> whoever: yes
[13:45] <Noiro> why are default sources on a fresh install returning a 404 error?
[13:45] <whoever> ok, then save config and reset
[13:45] <holstein> Noiro: networking issues?
[13:46] <yes1> whoever: see you later ;)
[13:46] <cfhowlett> Noiro could be the mirrors are being upgraded - happens sometimes
[13:46] <Noiro> holstein, I can surf internet fine with that comp
[13:46] <whoever> yes1: ya i know that having to reset is the last resort
[13:46] <holstein> Noiro: so, thats accounting your your side of the connection, to the sites you test
[13:47] <Noiro> extras.ubuntu.com sources and binary-i386/packages both return 404's
[13:47] <Noiro> seems like those are kinda a big deal
[13:47] <holstein> Noiro: you can run 'sudo apt-get update' and paste the errors.. or the entire output if you like a volunteer to look... you could also have installed an EOL version
[13:47] <holstein> Noiro: can you reach http://extras.ubuntu.com/ ?
[13:48] <holstein> Noiro: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/extras.ubuntu.com.html for example
[13:48] <Noiro> holstein: pastebin.com/ZDw4VkUQ
[13:49] <cfhowlett> Noiro that url looks good from here in Beijing ...
[13:49] <whoever> Noiro: are they enabled in sources list
[13:49] <Noiro> i get a ping response from it on that computer
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> Noiro: that is the pre-release, right?
[13:50] <holstein> Noiro: you are on 14.10?
[13:50] <Noiro> ActionParsnip, no, full Xubuntu 14.04
[13:50] <holstein> Noiro: that is not released yet.. install 14.04
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> Noiro: utopic = Ubuntu 14.10
[13:50] <holstein> Noiro: i think you have accidentally downloaded a daily iso and gotten 14.10 by error
[13:50] <Noiro> o.O Why does it say 14.10? I'm on 14.04...or so I thought
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> Noiro: http://www.geek.com/apps/the-next-ubuntu-14-10-will-likely-be-named-utopic-unicorn-1592158/
[13:51] <c0nd0rr> i'm having a problem which i believe it related to nvidia-prime, randomly my screen will freeze, switching to console and then back to x will unfreeze it, and when i check the xorg log i see "NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "NULL"" and then some failed messages
[13:51] <c0nd0rr> it works fine until it randomly tries to perform this mode set
[13:52] <holstein> Noiro: you are accessing 14.10 repos. thats why you are having issues.. if you literally just installed, go to http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ and make certain you get the iso for 14.04 in 32 or 64bit
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> Noiro: lsb_release -a      will tell you ;)
[13:52] <cfhowlett> Noiro you downloaded the "daily" ... get the download from www.xubuntu.com
[13:52] <Noiro> yup, I somehow got 14.10...welp, that's why there's no updates, I've got the newest of the new >.<
[13:53] <Noiro> whooo, dev builds
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> Noiro: very new, so new its not released til october. its not lts either
[13:56] <Noiro> lol
[13:58] <canaima> hola
[14:02] <Aaruni> if VLC doesn't save preferences, is it Ubuntu fault, or VLC fault ? same problem not encountered under Precise
[14:03] <holstein> Aaruni: what preferences? how are you setting them? how are you testing the issue?
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> Aaruni: tried renaming your vlc configuration folder then rerunning to get vanilla settings?
[14:03] <Aaruni> ok, no
[14:03] <Aaruni> its my fault
[14:04] <Aaruni> sorry
[14:05] <Aaruni> BTW, holstein, did you manage to solve that other, soundconvertor problem?
[14:05] <holstein> Aaruni: i think you are thinking of someone else.. i have no sound converter issues
[14:06] <Aaruni> holstein, no, you were helping me with soundconverter issues. it not accepting video files under 14.04LTS
[14:06] <Aaruni> holstein, remember this bug report ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/soundconverter/+bug/1312820
[14:06] <holstein> Aaruni: oh.. i vaguely remember that.. you'll have to remind me where we are
[14:07] <holstein> and, why we are doing video conversion with a sound converter ;)
[14:07] <Aaruni> holstein, you got me to convert video from one format to another using avconv
[14:07] <holstein> Aaruni: i remember trying to isolate if the issue was in the backend, or in sound converter..
[14:08] <holstein> Aaruni: were you able to? with avconv? did you contact the developers of sound converter?
[14:08] <Aaruni> holstein, avconv worked just fine, converting video from one format to another
[14:08] <Aaruni> didn't contact developers yet, issue not very important
[14:10] <holstein> Aaruni: somewhere upstream will be the "best" way to get this addressed..
[14:10] <holstein> i'll attach myself to the bug.. since i confirmed it as well
[14:10] <Aaruni> thanks, holstein :)
[14:12] <ashish_> laptop over heating with ubuntu14.04 because of open source display driver form amd radean hd4000 card
[14:14] <Aaruni> holstein, I just confirmed that issue is with soundconvert, and not with gstreamer
[14:15] <holstein> ashish_: you can try the propriatary ones.. have you? the open source drivers are doing what they can.. if the devices dont support linux well, it can be challenging
[14:15] <Kamaris> Does anyone know of a guide to disable the unity effects. i mainly vnc into my headless sytem and the animations and effects in unity lag significantly
[14:16] <Kamaris> hopefully without the need for gnome-flashback
[14:16] <aguitel> Kamaris, install ccsm
[14:16] <ashish_> holstein, propriatary drivers was supported till 12.04 which i was using till now. now it doesnt support latest kernel and xorg as i found in google.
[14:17] <holstein> ashish_: there will be a proprietary driver in the repos.. is that the one that doesnt support your device?
[14:17] <cfhowlett> Kamaris easiest: use a different desktop manager: kde, xfce4 come to mind
[14:17] <ashish_> holstein, as amd stopped upgrading driver for 4000series.
[14:17] <ashish_> holstein, no propriatary showing in repo
[14:18] <holstein> ashish_: ok.. you can ask them to provide, but, they may be letting support for the unit go..
[14:18] <holstein> ashish_: you can try the vesa driver..
[14:18] <ashish_> holstein, can u tell how to install vesa?
[14:18] <holstein> ashish_: you dont.. its already installed
[14:18] <aguitel> Kamaris, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[14:19] <holstein> ashish_: you can use http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209 and put it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf "as-is", not bothering with the resolution
[14:19] <ashish_> holstein, pls tell what i need to do. the keyborad is too hot to touch after installing 14.04
[14:20] <cfhowlett> ashish_ the KEYBOARD is hot to the touch?  I call shenanigans.
[14:20] <holstein> ashish_: i suggest you just test with the resolution as is, and see if the overheating issue is addressed.. i would make sure all the fans are working, and the unit is clean of any hair or dust
[14:20] <aguitel> Kamaris, http://www.howtogeek.com/101006/how-to-tweak-unity-on-ubuntu-with-the-compizconfig-settings-manager/
[14:21] <ashish_> cfhowlett, yess its getting very hot
[14:21] <ashish_> holstein, all fand all clean and working. that i have alreasdy checked
[14:22] <holstein> ashish_: you can look in the bios, etc.. if the unit is running hot on the bios screen, then there is not much you can do about it
[14:22] <Valentine_Lou> hi
[14:23] <ashish_> holstein, sorry for asking. i am not aware of it. can u please tell what i need to check in bios?
[14:23] <ashish_> holstein, also is this prob can be resolved with another DE like lxde?
[14:24] <holstein> ashish_: your bios is just that.. differnt from ever other model
[14:25] <holstein> ashish_: you check literally anything that you might find relevant.. and, let it sit there on the bios screen and see if it gets hot.. if its hot on the bios screen, then you can have bad/broken hardware issues
[14:25] <MadLamb> my sound icon is missing, how can i restore that?
[14:25] <MadLamb> incidcator-sound already installed
[14:25] <holstein> ashish_: you should try lxde.. but, your hardware is what it is.. i find not require 3d can help.. but, you just dont know what the root cause of the issue is
[14:26] <ashish_> holstein, means i need to reboot the system and keep the system in bios setting?
[14:26] <holstein> ashish_: there is not "need" here, friend.. its all about troubleshooting.. you were never promised linux support, so you just have to test and figure out what is going on
[14:26] <am0nrahx|work> Anyone on 14 yet?
[14:26] <am0nrahx|work> Is it awesome?
[14:26] <ashish_> holstein, in ubuntu12.04 also i had same prob but after installing propar. driver its file
[14:26] <holstein> ashish_: yes.. 14.04 has been out for a while
[14:27] <holstein> ashish_: ok.. so that tells us something.. 12.04 is still supported.. consider using it
[14:27] <holstein> am0nrahx|work: 14.04 has been out for a while ^
[14:27] <am0nrahx|work> holstein, i just now found that out. I've been far too busy lol
[14:27] <cfhowlett> am0nrahx|work if you have a specific technical support question - ask.
[14:27] <ashish_> okkk. i will try to find out the reason and if didnt get any solution i have to go back to 12.04
[14:28] <ashish_> holstein, thanks for support
[14:29] <ashish_> holstein, i have one more issue. i installed gnome desktop in ubuntu14.04. i m using unity but when i swith user it goes to gnome desktop always. if i remove gnome, it fails to login with other user accounts
[14:29] <raj> what does ubuntu use now instead of synaptic?
[14:29] <raj> for package installation
[14:29] <cfhowlett> raj apt
[14:29] <cfhowlett> !apt
[14:30] <raj> cfhowlett, apt has it's own GUI?
[14:30] <cfhowlett> raj no apt itself is a command line tool
[14:30] <ashish_> raj, nops
[14:30] <raj> the way synaptic did
[14:30]  * Noiro sighs and goes to install 14.04 forreal dis time XD
[14:30] <ashish_> raj, u have to use command line
[14:30] <raj> so what is the GUI application installation app
[14:30] <raj> oh, there's no GUI option?
[14:30] <cfhowlett> raj ubuntu software center
[14:31] <raj> ah
[14:31] <raj> thank you
[14:31] <ashish_> raj, better use synaptic, ubuntu software center or command line for apt, dgebi if u have deb package
[14:31] <cfhowlett> ashish_ dpkg for .deb please
[14:32] <ashish_> cfhowlett, dpkg from command line but we can use gdebi as gui
[14:32] <ashish_> cfhowlett, please correct if i m wrong
[14:33] <cfhowlett> ashish_ as I understand it, .deb can be processed through ubuntu software center - though I've never done so myself.  command line works for me.
[14:34] <ashish_> cfhowlett, i use command line dpkg. another great app is gdebi for installing deb package which can also download dependencies
[14:36] <ashish_> holstein, i have one more issue. i installed gnome desktop in ubuntu14.04. i m using unity but when i swith user it goes to gnome desktop always. if i remove gnome, it fails to login with other user accounts
[14:36] <ashish_> holstein, can u pls help in this. i have not found any solution of it till now
[14:41] <Hejkki> hi. how do i report a bug of ubuntu installation?
[14:42] <Hejkki> a bug of the installation process, i mean
[14:42] <cfhowlett> !bug|Hejkki
[14:42] <jodok> hi, any idea how i can make sure my ppa is also built for 14.04?
[14:42] <Istalantar> how can i set that my files window shows list view instead of grid view when i open it?
[14:42] <Hejkki> but what is the package name of the installation software?
[14:42] <cfhowlett> jodok check the ppa maintainers
[14:42] <Yogesh> Hello there! I created a bootable USB with ubuntu 14.04 , on boot I am getting error kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block
[14:42] <jodok> cfhowlett: i maintain this ppa :)
[14:43] <shreezbot> I'm trying to upgrade my Ubuntu homeserver to 14.04 and it will not allow me to do the upgrade.  When I issue the do-release-upgrade command, it tries to install 13.10
[14:43] <jodok> cfhowlett: i see “This PPA currently publishes packages for Saucy, Precise, and Lucid.” - but i didn’t find where to add 14.04
[14:44] <cfhowlett> !packaging|jodok best resource I can think of.
[14:45] <shreezbot> What is the best way for me to upgrade my Ubuntu 12.10 server to 14.04???
[14:45] <Hejkki> if i go to "ubuntu-bug" and choose "other", it will nto allow me to continue
[14:45] <Hejkki> i need a package name for the installation system
[14:45] <Istalantar> problem solved, just found where to set list view
[14:45] <OerHeks> shreezbot, 12.10 > 13.04 ( EOL) > 13.10 > 14.04 LTS
[14:45] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade|shreezbot OR download the 14.04 and clean install.
[14:46] <cfhowlett> !server| shreezbot
[14:46] <Hejkki> j #ubuntu-fi
[14:46] <Hejkki> oh
[14:46] <shreezbot> cfhowlett, If I do the clean install, will it preserve all of my applications and settings and stuff?  I do have a backup, but it would be nice to not have to reconfigure everything...  :)
[14:47] <cfhowlett> shreezbot you settings and data are safe if you've set up a partition for /home.
[14:47] <cfhowlett> !home
[14:47] <shreezbot> cfhowlett, I don't have /home on a separate partition, so it sound like I might be screwed unless I do that..
[14:48] <MadLamb> thre is many missing options in my system settings, how can i reinstall them?
[14:48] <cfhowlett> shreezbot it's pretty painless to set up and you only need do so once.
[14:48] <junixbr> in 14.04 "env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=3" doesn't work?
[14:50] <shreezbot> cfhowlett, so if I do set up a separate /home partition, will things that I've put into /etc be preserved as well?
[14:50] <cfhowlett> shreezbot settings?  yes.  data?  yes.  non-default programs/apps?  no.
[14:53] <shreezbot> cfhowlett, Amazing!  Thanks for the help!  :)
[14:53] <cfhowlett> shreezbot however, quite easy to mnage:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/9qk1l0c7x2v1ns8/Backup%20and%20restore%20Ubuntu.pdf
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> junixbr: if you want to boot to multi-user no GUI, add the boot order "text"
[14:57] <junixbr> ActionParsnip, yes, I'd like to start on multiuser text mode
[14:58] <junixbr> ActionParsnip, how can I add boot order ?
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> junixbr: boot option, not order
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> junixbr: hold SHIFT at boot, press E to (e)dit the line and add the option
[14:59] <junixbr> in rc-sysinit.conf?
[15:00] <junixbr> in grub?
[15:00] <Bluewolf> Hi all, I have recently reinstalled my computer with Ubuntu 14.04 after moving of Mint 14 and now when I play some of my music through Rhythmbox there is a loud crackle to it. It's only a select few and it has nothing to do with the audio files as they were working fine in Mint. They are also hight quality?
[15:01] <Slart_> Bluewolf: have you tried messing with the different volume options, alsa and pulseaudio?
[15:01] <cfhowlett> Bluewolf installed restricted-extras (codecs?)
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> junixbr: in Grub, when grub loads
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> junixbr: why do you want to boot to this mode?
[15:05] <junixbr> ActionParsnip, because I need to run some tests in framebuffer mode
[15:05] <junixbr> sdl programming
[15:05] <Bluewolf> cfhowlett, I have installed Restricted Extras. Other audio files are working fine.
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> junixbr: I see, cool stuff
[15:06] <junixbr> =)
[15:06] <Slart_> junixbr: why not boot normally and then ctrl+alt+f1 and   sudo service lightdm stop
[15:06] <junixbr> Slart_, did you try it in 14.04?
[15:06] <junixbr> it doesn't work
[15:06] <junixbr> at least for me
[15:06] <Slart_> junixbr: what part doesn't work for you?
[15:07] <junixbr> I have no prompt after disable lightdm
[15:07] <Bluewolf> Slart_: No I haven't, not sure what alsa and pulseaudio are. It seems that the problem has something to do with Rhythmbox as other media playes dont have a problem.
[15:07] <veryhappy> http://pastebin.com/Zcqb48w8
[15:07] <Slart_> junixbr: hmm.. ok let me try.. but it will kill my session here.. I'll be back
[15:07] <Slart_> Bluewolf: I'll be back
[15:09] <SupaYoshi_> how do i setup the wifi in ubuntu server?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> SupaYoshi_: depends on the wifi chip
[15:10] <d7dozer> Help! I just recieved a desktop computer from a friend that passed away and want to uninstall this ubuntu program, I see that it needs passwords and I do not have those, My friend just passed away a week ago! How can I remove it so I can change it to Windows 8.1?
[15:10] <SupaYoshi_> i tried editing the networking file
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> SupaYoshi_: you can install wicd and use wicd-curses on server
[15:10] <kagz> #ubuntu-ke
[15:10] <SupaYoshi_> what do you mean ActionParsnip
[15:10] <SupaYoshi_> cool
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> SupaYoshi_: I assume:   sudo iwlist scan     shows networks?
[15:11] <veryhappy> ActionParsnip: iwlist device scan should show networks
[15:11] <Slart> ok, back
[15:11] <veryhappy> like wlan0
[15:11] <SupaYoshi_> yes
[15:11] <d7dozer> I do need help
[15:11] <veryhappy> d7dozer: what you got?
[15:12] <hdtune2k> err
[15:12] <d7dozer> This once computer has ubuntu on it and cannot figure out how to remove it
[15:12] <Slart> junixbr: ok, that worked.. although I had to stop gdm instead of lightdm.. and I had to press ALT+F1 one extra time after stopping gdm
[15:13] <junixbr> Slart, ahmmm
[15:13] <d7dozer> I have never even heard of Ubuntu until now
[15:13] <veryhappy> d7dozer: are you perhaps German?
[15:13] <d7dozer> No, American
[15:13] <junixbr> 14.04 with gdm?
[15:13] <Slart> Bluewolf: try running    alsamixer   in a terminal and try changing settings around while playing something that makes bad audio
[15:13] <junixbr> here is lightdm
[15:13] <veryhappy> d7dozer: just thought this "once" was a typo... ok, well
[15:13] <cfhowlett> d7dozer install windows.  done.
[15:13] <Slart> junixbr: 14.04 with gnome shell.. but regular ubuntu install.. then switched to gnome
[15:13] <d7dozer> Its not letting me
[15:14] <veryhappy> cfhowlett: it's not always that easy.
[15:14] <cfhowlett> d7dozer "It's"???
[15:14] <Slart> junixbr: I probably installed gdm when I switched to gnome shell
[15:14] <junixbr> Slart, ow ok.. but with lightdm is not working for me, but it's ok, I can use textmode now =)
[15:14] <junixbr> thank you ActionParsnip, Slart
[15:14] <Slart> junixbr: ah.. anything that works is good =)
[15:14] <d7dozer> Normally it does that with other programs but this Ubuntu does not even give me the option
[15:14] <veryhappy> d7dozer: we need error message or any other explanations why you can't install windows.
[15:15] <junixbr> I appreciate your help
[15:15] <veryhappy> d7dozer: you can't just insert your dvd and install?
[15:15] <cfhowlett> d7dozer again "it"???? windows will happily overwrite and wipe out ubuntu during installation.
[15:15] <hdtune2k> Launching xterm and it displays DISPLAY NOT SET
[15:15] <d7dozer> It tells me if I want to do anything, I need to use a password, and my buddy just passed away and took his passwords to his grave
[15:16] <hdtune2k> What is the cause
[15:16] <veryhappy> oh ****
[15:16] <hdtune2k> It runs it in a lite Debian
[15:16] <veryhappy> d7dozer: losing the bios battery on the motherboard should make the pc forget the password
[15:16] <cfhowlett> d7dozer IT IT IT????????
[15:17] <veryhappy> cfhowlett: if you want to start talking about it go ubuntu-offtopic
[15:17] <d7dozer> ok, so how do I lose the bios battery
[15:17] <cfhowlett> d7dozer ask in #windows.
[15:17] <d7dozer> Oh, that is the little battery on the inside of the computer on the motherboard, right?
[15:17] <veryhappy> yea
[15:18] <veryhappy> take a screwdriver and take it out carefully not to empty it with your fingers while grabbing them
[15:19] <OerHeks> d7dozer, if that pc has got an EFI bios, maybe it is not removable. check in ##hardware
[15:20] <d7dozer> The computer is a HP
[15:20] <cfhowlett> d7dozer www.hp.com   has manuals specific to your device.
[15:20] <d7dozer> thank you
[15:20] <veryhappy> yw
[15:21] <d7dozer> I  will try again
[15:21] <veryhappy> good.
[15:22] <veryhappy> cfhowlett: why you're always that harsh? it comes across like you're a rude person and i just want your best.
[15:22] <a7i3n> Just a note of thanks to the Ubuntu community and Canonical for Ubuntu 14.04. Really enjoying this release!
[15:22] <cfhowlett> veryhappy repeated asking the same question with no response is a trigger.  sorry about that.
[15:23] <veryhappy> ok
[15:23] <veryhappy> cfhowlett: you know buddy, i just wanna understand the reason ;)
[15:23] <MadLamb> my sound icon is missing, i already tried to remove/install indicator-sound, but its still missing. can any1 help me?
[15:24] <veryhappy> MadLamb: which environment are you using?
[15:24] <veryhappy> MadLamb: kde, gnome, xfce, lxde...
[15:25] <MadLamb> veryhappy, unity
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> MadLamb: how will reinstalling an indicator do anything?
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> MadLamb: what is the output of:  wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
[15:25] <MadLamb> ActionParsnip, dont know, found someone with a similar problem in askubuntu and some1 said to do that, i did, but the icon is still missing
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> MadLamb: the indicator reads the config of sound and displays it. So is not a sound fix
[15:28] <MadLamb> ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b493ad3b969a6c7d81511e55ec2d6f2d2f5e3a1f
[15:28] <MadLamb> ActionParsnip, somehow i got my ubuntu-desktop package removed, and then i installed it, i had almost no icon in system settings
[15:28] <MadLamb> ActionParsnip, they're back, but the indicator is still missing
[15:29] <endaras> Ive been stuck with this problem for a couple days now, does anyone know why a bash script will run from terminal but not as a keyboard shortcut?
[15:29] <endaras> the scripts are executable
[15:30] <vector_> how get terminal opacity on ubuntu 14.04
[15:30] <ljunggren> vector_: did  you try lookin in settings ?
[15:30] <ljunggren> vector_: profile-settings
[15:30] <Slart> vector_: isn't it in the profile settings? as it has been for the last couple of releases...
[15:31] <endaras> vector go to terminal menu
[15:31] <endaras> edit -> profiles
[15:31] <vector_> that's what thought
[15:31] <vector_> that's what I thought
[15:31] <endaras> background -> transparent background
[15:31] <MadLamb> ActionParsnip, actually my sound is working, the problem is only the missing indicator
[15:32] <kostkon> MadLamb, are you on 14.04?
[15:32] <MadLamb> kostkon, yes
[15:32] <endaras> Anyone know why a bash script runs from terminal but same command as a keyboard shortcut doesn't work?
[15:32] <kostkon> MadLamb, then there's now an option to hide the indicator in the sound settings.
[15:33] <Slart> endaras: how do you run it from a keyboard shortcut? do you run bash/gnome-terminal or something as well or just the script?
[15:33] <Slart> endaras: perhaps it's being run in dash instead of bash which has a more limited syntax
[15:33] <endaras> atm it's just the absolute path to the script
[15:33] <endaras> i tried using bash <path>
[15:34] <MadLamb> kostkon, thanks, that worked
[15:34] <kostkon> MadLamb, ;)
[15:34] <Slart> endaras: there are parameters to start run bash with a certain script.. something like -X iirc.. check man bash for the specifics
[15:37] <endaras> Slart i can't seem to find that
[15:37] <blissi> !ops
[15:37] <endaras> Slart the thing is the command im using for the keyboard shortcut works perfectly in terminal as does bash <path> in terminal, neither works for the keyboard shortcut
[15:37] <Slart> endaras: what command are you trying to run?
[15:37] <endaras> hold on i'll paste it
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> MadLamb: try:  pulseaudio -k
[15:38] <Slart> !pastebin | endaras
[15:39] <MadLamb> ActionParsnip, kostkon already gave me the answer, there is a icon to disable the indicator in sound settings ubuntu 14.04.
[15:39] <MadLamb> ActionParsnip, thanks a lot. :)
[15:40] <MadLamb> there is a checkbox*
[15:41] <endaras> Slart : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7380297/
[15:41] <winny> hello, there is a package maintained by MOTU that is seven years out of date, how do I ask somebody on the MOTU to update it?
[15:41] <winny> package in question is evilwm
[15:43] <Slart> endaras: what happens if you put something like     date >> /home/<yourusername>/test.log    at the top and try to press the button.. do you get the file in your home-folder?
[15:43] <SchrodingersScat> endaras: and does the 'echo blaaa > /tmp/test' work?
[15:43] <endaras> Yes, i tried that it works in terminal, not as the shortcut
[15:44] <Nalleman> hi
[15:44] <Slart> endaras: so it seems the shortcut thing doesn't work at all.. how are you doing the keyboard shortcut thing?
[15:44] <endaras> keyboard -> shortcuts -> custom shortcuts
[15:44] <OerHeks> winny, current 1.1.0 is up2date http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/evilwm what makes you think it is out of date?
[15:44] <SchrodingersScat> endaras: and what do you have there? the bash /home/tim/Bash/foo.sh?
[15:45] <endaras> Atm i have /home/tim/Desktop/Bash/incBrightness.sh
[15:45] <endaras> i have tried bash <path> as well
[15:45] <winny> oh right, i'm on 12.04 LTS maybe I should enable backports?
[15:45] <legrandin> hey guys, i'm setting up an apache server and there doesn't seem to be a httpd.conf file. is this normal?
[15:46] <winny> sorry about the confusion
[15:46] <OerHeks> winny, you might want to consider upgrade to 14.04 LTS?
[15:46] <winny> waiting for the point release
[15:46] <OerHeks> oh, that would be june, i guess
[15:47] <winny> ok thanks :-)
[15:47] <winny> thank whoever updates that package for me
[15:47] <winny> i use it like every day
[15:48] <mgolisch> legrandin: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/httpd.html
[15:48] <mgolisch> legrandin: this explains the configuration in ubuntu/debian based systems
[15:48] <legrandin> thank you!
[15:49] <adrianoc> hi guys ..
[15:49] <adrianoc> how i can use empathy through a proxy ?
[15:50] <adrianoc> http://uploaddeimagens.com.br/imagens/screenshot_from_2014-05-02_15_41_37-png
[15:50] <adrianoc> i have this erro.
[15:51] <endaras> adrianoc did you go to system settings -> network -> network proxy ?
[15:51] <jayaura> Folks, now much does your laptop's display suck in at full brightness as reported by powertop ? Mine is about 12 W (15.6 inch screen), I found someone on the internet mentioning just 2W. Whats yours ?
[15:52] <adrianoc> endaras, yes
[15:53] <adrianoc> i checked with # env | grep proxy
[15:54] <adrianoc> otherwise, i would not be connected here.
[15:54] <TacoTacos> I accidently removed my entire xorg dir and bonked everything how do I fix this?
[15:55] <Captain_h00k> blissi: do not call the ops if it's not necessary
[15:55] <blissi> It is necessary
[15:56] <endaras> adrianoc maybe open your gmail account settings
[15:56] <jayaura> adrianoc: some applications dont consider $http_proxy, instead, they respect, $HTTP_PROXY. try the https variants too, like "$env_var=value empathy"
[15:56] <blissi> !ops
[15:56] <ikonia> blissi: what's up ?
[15:57] <endaras> set proxy info in their then -> advanced tab , set connection security to "use old style SSL" and change connect port to 443 and connect server talk.google.com ?
[15:57] <endaras> in there*
[15:58] <stiffler> hi
[15:58] <endaras> your google account settings*
[16:00] <sabbut> I tried to update my Ubuntu to the latest version, but the update crashed on me. After rebooting I get a window saying "The system is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure them yourself", and after clicking that I get a list of options and Cancel and OK buttons. But I can't see any of the...
[16:00] <sabbut> ...options, and after clicking OK I get no result.
[16:02] <yogesh> i am trying to insall ubuntu 14.04, should i have different partition for swap area and installtion?
[16:02] <holstein> yogesh: you must
[16:02] <holstein> yogesh: swap has to be its own partition, though, you are not required to have swap
[16:03] <holstein> yogesh: you should just use the defaults
[16:03] <travis__> i didnt make a swap area and things are working fine for me
[16:03] <yogesh> holstein: and on which partition i should install boot loader? i is showing me all option including complete disk of 500GB. windows 7 is already installed
[16:03] <holstein> yogesh: i install grub to my main hard drive
[16:04] <holstein> yogesh: grub will offer to boot win7.. but not the other way around
[16:04] <Slart> yogesh: you can use a regular swap file on your normal partition if you want.. you can set that up after the install if you don't need it during the actual install
[16:04] <Slart> !swap | yogesh
[16:04] <yogesh> holstein: it doesnt start installtion if i do not create swap area, gives warnig and if i install grub on the same partition on which i wnt ubuntu ?
[16:04] <holstein> yogesh: warning is just that
[16:05] <holstein> yogesh: if you dont want swap, and want to add post install, you can..
[16:05] <yogesh> ubottu: thanks, i know about that
[16:05] <blissi> Help! Someone tricked me into uploading a script to my ubuntu web server.. I have no idea what it does??? http://pastebin.com/R7Xxa4jT
[16:05] <holstein> yogesh: you read the link the bot gave to learn about adding swap post install
[16:06] <holstein> blissi: reinstallation may be your only "safe" outlet.. assuming the bio is not infected
[16:06] <holstein> bios*
[16:06] <yogesh> holstein: yes i want to have swap i have only 2GB RAM
[16:06] <Slart> blissi: I'm no php expert but that script only seems to write out some text.. but once you run unsafe stuff there's not telling what has changed.. I would recommend a reinstall
[16:06] <holstein> yogesh: if you want it, have it..
[16:07] <baustin> I'm looking for a tool that will let me diagnose a perofrmance problem.  I put load on the machine, and I want to track CPU, memory and I/O usage to figure out which is bound.  Can anyone suggest such a tool?  Looking for these values over time, rather than instantaneous?  (and it needs to be something I can have someone else run and then send me the resuls-- I'm not allowed access to the machine itself.)
[16:07] <blissi> !ops these trolls are telling me to reinstall because I uploaded this to my box - http://pastebin.com/R7Xxa4jT
[16:07] <holstein> yogesh: you should let the installer do the defaults for dual boot.. installing "beside" windows
[16:07] <holstein> !dualboot
[16:07] <blissi> !ops  as above
[16:07] <DGJones> blissi: Stop that
[16:07] <yogesh> holstein: thanks, i know about what swaparea is , jus was not sure if it is on same partition or different thanks for clear
[16:07] <zenpac> In 14.04, vi doesn't repaint
[16:07] <zenpac> when you remove a char it doesnt seem to repaint
[16:08] <holstein> blissi: im telling you, if you dont konw the code, and you cant be sure what has happened, if you want to be "safe" you may need to consider reinstallation..
[16:08] <blissi> http://pastebin.com/R7Xxa4jT
[16:08] <Slart> blissi: this isn't a channel emergency.. if you don't like the advice you don't have to follow it.. but let the ops or go talk to them in #ubuntu-ops if you feel the channel is treating you unfairly
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> blissi  and stop posting that profanity link here
[16:08] <holstein> blissi: if you have something uploaded to your server, that is malicious, you should act occordingly..
[16:09] <whiskers75> blissi: http://pastebin.com/R7Xxa4jT is harmless.
[16:09] <whiskers75> It's just some PHP to print "lulz fgts" on a webpage.
[16:09] <holstein> blissi: the link you have linked contains no such "script"
[16:10] <Slart> whiskers75: the problem is that we don't know which script he uploaded.. this might just be the residue of that original script
[16:10] <holstein> ^ yup
[16:10] <whiskers75> what script DID he upload?!
[16:10] <Pici> He is muted, lets move on.
[16:10] <Slart> whiskers75: we didn't really have a chance to ask.. but lets move on
[16:11] <sabbut> I tried to update my Ubuntu to the latest version, but the update crashed on me. After rebooting I get a window saying "The system is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure them yourself", and after clicking that I get a list of options and Cancel and OK buttons. But I can't see any of the...
[16:11] <sabbut> ...options, and after clicking OK I get no result.
[16:11] <holstein> sabbut: address the upgrade.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:11] <Slart> baustin: have you looked into snmp? together with cactus perhaps? cactus is a logging framework that shows all kinds of statistics.. might be worth a look
[16:12] <holstein> sabbut: ^ get those to complete without error.. paste errors here
[16:12] <zenpac> vim doesn't repaint when you remove a char or word.. Any ideas?
[16:12] <Slart> zenpac: in a gui terminal or in a tty?
[16:14] <Festour> " modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:556 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/3.11.0-27.ga1c41f-desktop/modules.deb.bin' " anyone know how fix it?
[16:16] <sabbut> holstein: sudo apt-get upgrade returns a list of errors... "could not resolve <URL>"
[16:17] <whiskers75> sabbut: please pastebin the content of /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:17] <holstein> sabbut: so, you need to work that out.. you'll need to be connected to the internet, or you are not.. that can make that error
[16:18] <holstein> sabbut: you just go through the list.. then, if your graphics issues are not solved by this, you can address it then easily
[16:18] <whiskers75> sabbut: or you simply have no internet
[16:18] <whiskers75> sabbut: try `ping <IP_ADDRESS>`
[16:19] <pleasehelp> Hey everyone, we are studying the capabilities of statistical analysis software using surveys as a data collection point and need help gathering data. Anyone that is willing to help is welcome to do so :) The survey takes 2 minutes. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2NCS3MN
[16:19] <whiskers75> pleasehelp: please don't post that in her
[16:19] <whiskers75> e
[16:19] <zulo> hola
[16:20] <whiskers75> !spam | pleasehelp
[16:20] <sabbut> oh well... it seems I have no internet for that computer. Of course I'm using another one right now
[16:20] <sabbut> one sec
[16:20] <whiskers75> sabbut: can you plug in ethernet?
[16:21] <sabbut> oh, it was working fine until it crashed mid-update
[16:21] <zenpac> Slart: only over SSH.
[16:21] <zenpac> Slart: through gui
[16:21] <whiskers75> sabbut: can you plug in ethernet?
[16:22] <Slart> zenpac: hmm.. so it could be ssh missing things? or the remove vim... hard to tell which
[16:22] <holstein> sabbut: sure.. you should have been warned not o interrrupt that update. you will ned to fix the system.. the "best" way is to work through those errors.. the first of which is, you are not reaching those URLs.. so, are you connected to the internet? if not, plug in an ethernet cable
[16:22] <zenpac> Slart: when I connect via ssh to it , it works fine
[16:22] <Slart> zenpac: *remote
[16:22] <Slart> zenpac: never had vim do bad things over ssh myself.. not really sure where to start looking
[16:23] <sabbut> I have a wireless adapter, I was getting an internet connection through that
[16:23] <zenpac> Slart: me neither.
[16:23] <whiskers75> sabbut: Can you in any way use ethernet? Otherwise, it'll be tricky :P
[16:23] <holstein> sabbut: you are not now, since you broke your system by interrupting the upgrade.. can you plug an ethernet cable in?
[16:24] <holstein> sabbut: that would be the "easiest" way to get internet, and get the broken upgrade to complete (hopefully)
[16:24] <sabbut> holstein: ok, plugged
[16:24] <whiskers75> sabbut: now try `ping <IP_ADDRESS>`
[16:25] <whiskers75> does that return anything about '64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>' or suchlike?
[16:26] <sabbut> "Network is unreachable"
[16:26] <whiskers75> :(
[16:27] <holstein> sabbut: you may need to reboot to get the internet to work, but please make sure you can ping as whiskers75 suggests.. then, do the "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" commands
[16:27] <holstein> sabbut: you may also find an older kernel in your grub list to try
[16:28] <sabbut> holstein: yeah, I tried the last 4 or 5 kernels and get the same problem
[16:28] <holstein> sabbut: so, you move forward here then.. getting wired internet to work.. i would reboot, and try ping and ifconfig.. and at this point i would be backing up my data in case a fresh install is neccessary
[16:30] <Elfuego> Anyone else had issues with mounted smb shares causing High CPU/RAM usage?
[16:30] <whiskers75> Be glad you can boot the system, I once had a horribly broken install where you couldn't even boot past upstart (though recovery worked) - I had to reinstall :P
[16:30] <sabbut> Thanks everyone. Let's see if I get lucky with this...
[16:31] <mn2010> now if KVIrc will decide to play nice and not segfault
[16:32] <sabbut> It's not important whether the Ethernet cable is directly connected to the router or to a computer that already has a wireless connection, right?
[16:32] <sabbut> I mean, if I don't get a connection it's not because of this, right?
[16:33] <mn2010> it can, due to default_gateway
[16:33] <holstein> sabbut: yes, *all* of that is important
[16:33] <holstein> sabbut: you have to connect the cable to something that provides internet.. directly to the router
[16:34] <Elfuego> mm noone knows I guess
[16:34] <jobarte> hi guys, is possible to store data from nload command?
[16:34] <holstein> sabbut: try plugging right into the router before rebooting the machine.. then ping and ifconfig
[16:34] <sabbut> oh well... it's going to take some time then...
[16:38] <Slart> jobarte: I think there are other applications for doing that.. nload seems pretty focused on just showing the graphs
[16:39] <sabbut> lol... when I typed "sudo apt-get update" I was prompted to reconfigure dpkg, I did just that, rebooted and now the problem's gone
[16:39] <travis__> has anybody ever used edubuntu? I'm thinking of putting it on my daughters laptop.
[16:40] <skinux> Since reset of Unity didn't solve problem with desktop background/icons/right-click not working, I logged into "Gnome" instead of "Ubuntu" and found proper backround was there. is this useful in troubleshooting the problem?
[16:40] <sabbut> holstein, whiskers75: thanks for your help!
[16:40] <Slart> jobarte: vnstat seems like a good candidate. There are probably several others out there
[16:41] <bruce__> hello
[16:41] <bruce__> i need help with wubi and lts 14.04
[16:42] <bruce__> any1 not afk?
[16:42] <jobarte> [Slart]: I use vnstat and I like a lot, but vnstat measure only traffic transfered, not traffic usage
[16:42] <Slart> jobarte: if you want pretty graphs there's always munin http://munin.ping.uio.no/ping.uio.no/bache.ping.uio.no/index.html
[16:43] <jobarte> [Slart]: today I use cacti, but show this http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=52627
[16:43] <Slart> jobarte: hmmm.. I'm not sure about the difference there (between transfered and usage)
[16:44] <SchrodingersScat> !wubi | bruce__
[16:44] <bruce__> yes?
[16:44] <bruce__> i am trying dual boot with win 7 64
[16:44] <Slart> jobarte: ah.. so the max value is the only difference?
[16:45] <jobarte> [Slart]: yes
[16:45] <jobarte> now my nload display 43 as max usage
[16:45] <jobarte> cacti only 9mbps usage
[16:45] <jobarte> something wrong here
[16:46] <bruce__> i dont have win 8 and i found wubi for 14.04
[16:46] <jobarte> and I think it's not the nload is wrong
[16:46] <Slart> jobarte: isn't amount transfered more interesting? I don't even know how to define what the max value is... maximum bandwidth per second? per minute? per nanosecond? these things might give you wildly different values
[16:46] <Elfuego> I think he means usage as in what is using x,y,z traffic?
[16:47] <bruce__> link needs login
[16:47] <travis__> can anybody tell me whats the purpose of tasksel?
[16:47] <kreuger> hey guys, looking for some help. i upgraded my laptop to 14.04 and when my laptop restarted, it gave me a kernel panic with the error about failing to sync. however, I am able to boot into an older kernel no problem
[16:47] <Slart> jobarte: I just think that the developers made different choices when it comes  to this.. nload guys did one thing while cacti made another decision.
[16:48] <zenpac> vim/xterm problem. Seems to be a problem with the terminfo settings on xterm.. If iset "export TERM=screen" the problem goes away.
[16:48] <jobarte> [Slart]: I need to measure maximum bandwidth because today I use EC2
[16:48] <jobarte> and I will transfer my app to private cloud with dedicated link
[16:49] <jobarte> then I need to know link demand of my app
[16:49] <Slart> jobarte: what is maximum bandwidth then? amount transfered per second? per minute? per cpu tick? I don't think you're being charged by maximum bandwidth without more information
[16:49] <jobarte> and I do not trust the amazon measure tools
[16:50] <jobarte> amount transfered per second
[16:50] <Slart> jobarte: and vnstat can't give you that?
[16:51] <Pici> jobarte: vnstat might be helpful
[16:51] <jobarte> vnstat measure only total data transfered, not maximum bandwidth
[16:51] <Elfuego> it shows min/max bandwidth
[16:52] <Elfuego> just not a graph of bw/time
[16:52] <jobarte> example, on this hou my app out 29Gb data
[16:52] <jobarte> *hour
[16:53] <Elfuego> sec
[16:53] <jobarte> but on this hour vnstat dont show for me if maximum bandwidth was 30mbps or 70mbps
[16:53] <Elfuego> it does
[16:53] <jobarte> [Elfuego]: how?
[16:53] <Elfuego> sec i need to login and pull it up
[16:54] <jobarte> okay :)
[16:54] <Slart> jobarte, Elfuego: the live output shows max and min.. haven't gathered enough data for the other stuff to display yet
[16:55] <Elfuego> I know you can make it display it because ive odone it before
[16:55] <Elfuego> Its something like vnstat -i eth0 and it should show tx/rx max/min
[16:56] <Elfuego> live will also show max/min
[16:57] <jobarte> hmmm
[17:02] <Slart> jobarte: it seems vnstat works the same way as snmp/cacti does.. reads the counters at a certain interval
[17:03] <Anden> urghhh. i added ppa:n-muench/vlc because it was said to have VLC 2.0 for ubuntu 11.10. after i did that i do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade but it tells me all packages are up to date. well that's not true because my vlc still shows as version 1.1 ... wtf?!
[17:03] <Slart> jobarte: perhaps iptraf can do something?
[17:04] <jobarte> iptraf show only to display too
[17:04] <jobarte> equal nload
[17:04] <Slart> jobarte: iptraf has logging.. that doesn't work?
[17:04] <jobarte> worse is that I don't know if anyone is wrong or is nload or cacti
[17:05] <Slart> jobarte: cacti doesn't do maximum for each second the way you wanted it..
[17:05] <kostkon> Anden, i'm guessing there isn't a package for it on that ppa because 11.10 is eol
[17:05] <kostkon> !eol
[17:06] <Anden> well did they remove the package? that's just mean
[17:06] <Slart> jobarte: most of the stuff I've seen measures bandwidth per minute or per hour or so.. which I honestly feel is more interesting.. bandwidth usage every second seems like something you ask for when you don't really know what you want to do with it
[17:06] <Anden> because obviously it used to be there
[17:06] <jobarte> [Slart]: probally a cacti bug?
[17:06] <Anden> as i find 10-20 tutorials telling me to use that ppa
[17:06] <jobarte> I thought I'd test the observium also
[17:07] <endaras> Ok still can't figure this out, why can i run an executable script from terminal but not as a keyboard shortcut, script works as intended, is executable, has proper permissions yadda yadda
[17:07] <aarobc> anything like SmoothVideo Project on ubuntu?
[17:07] <Slart> jobarte: not sure if it's a bug or just designed that way..  I think most people are more interested in amount of bytes transfered or perhaps bandwidth per minute but not per second
[17:08] <kostkon> Anden, you need to upgrade to a supported version
[17:08] <Anden> yeah but i dont want to. i've tweaked this install so much
[17:08] <Anden> dont wanna start all over
[17:08] <Slart> endaras: what kind of keyboard shortcut are you creating? I just created a small script with the gnome keyboard shortcut thingy and that worked
[17:08] <kostkon> Anden, i mean do an upgrade not a clean install
[17:08] <Anden> yeah i realise you can do that but isn't there a big risk it will get messed up?
[17:09] <endaras> yeah im using the gnome keyboard shortcut
[17:09] <jobarte> [Slart]: I can also be wrong
[17:09] <jobarte> I may be measuring the wrong way
[17:09] <endaras> keyboard -> shortcuts -> custom shortcuts
[17:09] <Slart> endaras: yes.. that's the one I used.. do you have that pastebin link again?
[17:10] <streulma> how can I install the s16l codec in Ubuntu 14.04 ?
[17:10] <endaras> Slart : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7380297/
[17:10] <kostkon> Anden, i wouldn't call it a big risk, but an OS upgrade is always a risky business, regardless of the OS
[17:10] <endaras> Slart something worth noting is that i used chmod on the "/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness" file
[17:10] <endaras> so i could echo into it
[17:11] <Anden> yeah. well i dont wanna take that risk for one program. so you're basically telling me i should've gotten the package earlier while it was still available?
[17:11] <endaras> without sudo
[17:11] <v0lksman> anyone know what "button" scroll up is or how to find that out?
[17:11] <refefer> how can I change the default system font in gnome 3?  even after gnome-tweak-tool, the title fonts are unchanged
[17:12] <Slart> endaras: let me try it on my system.. see if I can get it to work
[17:12] <endaras> ok thanks Slart, you probably know you'll need to change the path for the brightness file
[17:13] <endaras> if you're not using intel
[17:13] <kostkon> Anden, no I'm telling you to upgrade because your install has stopped receiving security updates and it's too old already
[17:13] <Slart> endaras: I just removed all the brightness stuff and just kept the echo line.. that's a reasonable start =)
[17:14] <Slart> endaras: ok, it worked on my system.. created the log file and all
[17:14] <kostkon> Anden, you can directly upgrade to 12.04 which has 3 years of support left
[17:14] <Anden> kostkon: yeah well that will have to be some other day when i have time to clone my disk in case it gets messed up. right now i just want vlc2 really quickly so i can watch my bluray
[17:14] <endaras> Slart: :S yeah i figured it wasn't a problem with the script, more to do with the keyboard shortcuts, but I have no idea why they wouldn't be working
[17:14] <Slart> endaras: this is the script I used.. set it to executable.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7380838/
[17:15] <Anden> kostkon: browsing the ppa in http i can see a directory called oneiric so looks like he hasn't removed it after all?
[17:15] <Anden> but then apt-get should find it too
[17:16] <Slart> endaras: could it be erroring out earlier in the script? try putting the echo thing at line two.. see if that helps
[17:17] <streulma> cannot create packetizer output (s16l)
[17:17] <kostkon> Anden, sudo apt-get update   adn then  apt-cache policy vlc
[17:17] <Kreuger> can someone please help?
[17:18] <Anden> vlc: Installed: 1.1.12-2~oneiric1 Candidate: 1.1.12-2~oneiric1
[17:18] <kostkon> Anden, you can always download it source and compile it
[17:18] <rvdv> Kreuger: maybe ... you never know when you don't ask about what you want help with
[17:18] <kostkon> its*
[17:18] <Anden> kostkon: i thought it would come to that, hehe
[17:18] <Anden> kostkon: i guess it might be worth it...
[17:18] <Anden> kostkon: if it doesnt take too long :D
[17:19] <endaras> Slart: same problem with your script, running it from terminal or running from gui works, running as a keyboard shortcut doesn't
[17:19] <kostkon> Anden, unfortunately it ahs come to that yeah
[17:19] <Slart> endaras: nothing in /var/log/syslog?
[17:19] <Kreuger> I mentioned my issue a few mins ago. I upgraded to 14.04 and got a kernel panic failing to sync. Yet I can boot just fine into an older kernel
[17:19] <endaras> Slart: i'll try moving the test echo but the script does work perfectly from terminal
[17:19] <Slart> endaras: I am running Gnome shell.. not sure if that makes a difference
[17:19] <Anden> kostkon: alright thanks for the help
[17:20] <kostkon> Anden, np
[17:21] <Slart> endaras: and you're not using a weird keyboard combo that is already taken?
[17:21] <endaras> Slart: nah I thought that might be the problem so i've tried a number of wierd ones, ctrl alt H etc.
[17:22] <Rad-> Hi can someone help me with ubuntu and rsyslog?
[17:22] <Slart> endaras: if you set the command to just   gnome-terminal   does that work? (it does on my system)
[17:22] <rvdv> Sorry Kreuger , guess i missed that question from a "few minutes ago" ...
[17:23] <Kreuger> its all good.
[17:23] <Slart> endaras: or any reasonable app.. gedit, gnome-terminal are just examples
[17:23] <endaras> Slart: nope gnome-terminal doesn't work either
[17:23] <endaras> Slart: seems the custom shortcuts just don't work at all
[17:24] <endaras> Slart: for some reason I have a feeling that ubuntu might want a reboot to assign the shortcuts
[17:24] <Slart> endaras: well.. that saves us a lot of bash troubleshooting.. but now I don't really know where to search any more..
[17:25] <endaras> Slart: i'll try the turn it off and on again
[17:25] <davividal> hi. I did a boot-repair and: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7380867/
[17:25] <Slart> endaras: for what it's worth the shortcuts work straight away here
[17:25] <davividal> what should I do?
[17:25] <rvdv> Kreuger: But if you are asking about that kernel panic in your question from an half hour ago, I only can recommend you to do a clean install of 14.04 after you do a backup of your personal files ....
[17:25] <Slart> endaras: give it a try
[17:25] <xente> how does one do xmodmap to map shift + function key?
[17:25] <Kreuger> I might as well go back to Windows for all the bullshit Ubuntu has caused over the last few yrs.
[17:26] <davividal> I'm using 14.04 with dual boot on windows. I restarted on windows and when I got back to ubuntu, it won't boot.
[17:26] <rvdv> Yeah ... Kreuger ... because windows doesn't give any bullshit ever ... we all know :-)
[17:26] <Rad-> Hi can someone help me with ubuntu and rsyslog?
[17:26] <Slart> davividal: error messages? what happens when you try?
[17:26] <endaras_> Slart: lol it worked
[17:27] <Slart> endaras_: it needed a reboot? that was it?
[17:27] <ericigor> hello !
[17:27] <Kreuger> Its not the point. If Im gonna have to reinstall it, I might as well not bother to customize anything which is my biggest use for Ubuntu.
[17:27] <davividal> Slart: when I try... ? To boot ubuntu? http://askubuntu.com/questions/451818/ubuntu-14-04-call-trace
[17:27] <endaras_> Slart: not sure why but yeah the keyboard shortcuts don't get implemented until ubuntu restarts
[17:27] <Slart> endaras_: that's insane.. well.. at least it works now
[17:27] <rawrmonster> in ubuntu 14.04 if im trying to make permanent bash alias should i use .bash_aliases or .bashrc?
[17:28] <xente> rawrmonster: .bashrc or you can source .bash_aliases in .bashrc and put them there
[17:28] <rawrmonster> xente: ok ty :D
[17:28] <endaras_> Slart: this is in 13.10 so maybe it was fixed
[17:28] <davividal> Slart: it's not *exactly* that. I took a picture, if it helps
[17:28] <xente> rawrmonster: np
[17:28] <Slart> davividal: no idea... I can't even really see what the problem is.. sorry
[17:28] <endaras_> Slart: but ty for all the help
[17:28] <Slart> endaras_: you're welcome
[17:29] <Rad-> o_O irssi pinged me and i can't see where i got pinged
[17:29] <clopez> why 12.04 comes with kernel 3.13 ?? That kernel version is not LTS (is already EOL, see https://www.kernel.org/). Wouldn't have made more sense to ship 3.12 instead?
[17:29] <rvdv> Kreuger: I only can recommend to use a seperate /home partition and not format it with a re-install ... then many personal changes are saved
[17:29] <Slart> Rad-: from what I can see it wasn't from this channel.. pm perhaps?
[17:29] <Kreuger> Itd be easier to just delete the kernel that isnt working from grub and try and deal with the other issue Im having
[17:30] <Slart> !12.04
[17:30] <rvdv> Kreuger: True
[17:30] <Rad-> LTS?
[17:30] <Rad-> I thought 14.04 is LTS
[17:30] <Slart> Rad-: they are both LTS
[17:30] <rvdv> Kreuger: ask yourself ... what benefit does the new kernel give you
[17:30] <clopez> sorry.. I mean 14.04
[17:30] <Slart> Rad-: but it shouldn't say   *the* current LTS =)
[17:31] <Rad-> yeah maybe. i'm just trying to figure out why ubuntu isn't rsyslog-ing properly. honestly, i think it's PEBKAC =[
[17:31] <Rad-> lol Slart
[17:31] <basiclaser> hey guys is it possible to run indesign/ anything indesignesque on latest ubuntu?
[17:31] <Kreuger> the other issue Im having is that in the working kernel, I can boot to the login screen and then login but my trackpad has stopped responding. It has always worked out of the box so I dont understand what happened
[17:31] <Rad-> basiclaser:  what's indesign
[17:31] <Slart> basiclaser: there's always !wine and !vm but if you ask me you should run windows software on windows..
[17:32] <Rad-> basiclaser: i VM all my window stuff
[17:32] <zzxc> Hey is for htop in tree mode is there a way to collapse all trees by default?
[17:33] <xente> how does one do xmodmap to map shift + function key?
[17:33] <rvdv> Sorry Kreuger ... can't help you with that ... Is there any info when you search in the output of dmesg?
[17:33] <rawrmonster> Is ubuntu 14.04 really suppose to be stable at the moment. I do notice big speed improvements but i keep having the unity search function freeze and i get a send bug report menu appear. This is a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 as of last night. I am fully updated as well
[17:33] <Kreuger> I hadnt thought of that. Let me reboot and give it a shot.
[17:35] <zzxc> xente, good question. If you run xev in terminal you'll able to see.
[17:36] <Slart> zzxc: found this.. doesn't look promising https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/issues/24
[17:36] <TacoTacos> Hey I messed up and removed all the config files to my trackpad.
[17:36] <xente> zzxc: I can see which key codes they use when I run xev, but how does one combine the shift key plus the key code of the function key?
[17:36] <bekks> rawrmonster: The release of 14.04 was on April 17th.  A well. good to know I'm not just missing something obvious though.
[17:37] <rawrmonster> bekks: ahh ok i guess i jumped the gun a little to early. But other than that one issue it seems to be an amazing release. I really like it for all the speed boosts from 12.04 lol
[17:37] <Slart> zzxc: I agree with you though.. I also want a key for that..
[17:38] <Slart> zzxc: not that it helps you, but still =)
[17:38] <LD^SP> load /home/fritz/Downloads/xdcc-client.pl
[17:38] <Rad-> you don't even need xorg to fix that TacoTacos
[17:39] <Rad-> i'm not sure if it's called virtual terminal i forget, but you can use the ctrl+alt+number
[17:39] <Rad-> i believe
[17:39] <TacoTacos> It was in the xorg.config.d
[17:39] <zzxc> xente: Sorry looks like I gave you the wrong tool for the usecase. Sorry I can't remeber right off how it handles that.
[17:39] <Rad-> and you can have a shell you can install/uninstall stuff from mate
[17:39] <xente> zzxc: thanks, tho
[17:39] <moquist> I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, and every time I use 'Alt' in Gnome-Terminal (for Emacs meta) I get a 'Command' prompt. I don't want that prompt. I've looked around in Gnome Terminal and System keyboard preferences, and I can't find any KB shortcut for Alt by itself. How can I disable this unwanted feature?
[17:40] <zzxc> Slart: Haha, Well I can always just do a git pull request for it. But I would need the time to do that, which I currently don't have.
[17:40] <codmadnesspro_> Hello can anyone help me with my ubuntu?
[17:40] <TacoTacos> What package has the trackpad files?
[17:40] <zzxc> codmadnesspro_: Possible?
[17:40] <codmadnesspro_> Err check this http://prntscr.com/3fi5mq
[17:40] <codmadnesspro_> i installed the gui and tightvnc and its got no desktop for sum reason
[17:41] <DexterF> hi
[17:41] <Leonard0> .info
[17:42] <codmadnesspro_> do you know what the problem is?
[17:42] <codmadnesspro_> http://prntscr.com/3fi5mq
[17:42] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: You appear to have a terminal window open.
[17:42] <codmadnesspro_> yea
[17:42] <DexterF> installed 14.04/32 on 2006 fujitsu laptop, after resorting to Vesa graphics it's ok on the VIA UniChrome video chip. but it won't shut down: it always gets stuck here, with the "wait" symbol circling forever: http://www.vaultofsages.de/~dexterf/bilder/circling_forever.png
[17:42] <codmadnesspro_> thats what happens when i reboot it
[17:42] <zzxc> codmadnesspro_: You have gui, looks like you are without a visble DE though.
[17:42] <Tiensbakung> moquist: it's not shortcuts,  it's called menu key, don't remember exactly, something along the line
[17:43] <codmadnesspro_> is there a way to fix that?
[17:43] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: I don't understand what you're trying to show us.
[17:43] <zzxc> jhutchins: VNC connection is not displaying the DE. only windows from the look of it.
[17:43] <moquist> Tiensbakung: Hm. OK. Thx!
[17:44] <zzxc> codmadnesspro_: I think its an issue with the vnc trying to miniumize bandwidth use.
[17:44] <rvdv> zzxc: but how he start the terminal?
[17:44] <zzxc> rvdv. My guess would be super+t?
[17:44] <dw1> any way to change the mousewheel scroll in gnome-terminal from up arrow to page-up?
[17:44] <rvdv> zzxc: mmm ;)
[17:45] <codmadnesspro_> it auto started when i reboot it
[17:45] <zzxc> The terminal did?
[17:45] <Kreuger> Im back and found some interesting messages in dmesg
[17:45] <rvdv> Kreuger: pastebin it
[17:46] <zzxc> codmadnesspro_: Hmmm I don't know right off.
[17:46] <codmadnesspro_> let me give you a recording
[17:46] <Kreuger> working on it
[17:46] <codmadnesspro_> lemme record one sec
[17:46] <zzxc> I actaully have to head out.
[17:46] <codmadnesspro_> k
[17:46] <zzxc> I have to finish working on the project I'm on so I can release another fix for something else. But good luck codmadnesspro_
[17:47] <aeyesi> Hi :>
[17:47] <zzxc> Oh one last thing though. What Envorment are you using?
[17:47] <zzxc> codmadnesspro_: Oh one last thing. What DE are you using? (Sorry for sending this twice I forgot to mention)
[17:48] <aeyesi> hmm I wonder if this is right place for sum support question ? <,<
[17:48] <Kreuger> http://pastebin.com/UQG8sg2x
[17:48] <rvdv> aeyesi: if you don't ask you never know if you will get support
[17:48] <codmadnesspro_> erm i dunno i just followed a tutorial
[17:49] <codmadnesspro_> i just did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and sudo apt-get install gnome-core
[17:49] <zzxc> codmadnesspro_: Alright try running unity --replace. See what that gets you.
[17:49] <aeyesi> aha k :D well anyone have idea how reinstall simply system settings window? it ducked up ._. http://i59.tinypic.com/vfvajs.jpg
[17:49] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: This looks relevant: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2074397&page=2
[17:49] <codmadnesspro_> whats the full command? :P im new to it
[17:49] <codmadnesspro_> k ill look at it
[17:49] <zzxc> codmadnesspro_: Its just 'unity --replace
[17:49] <zzxc> '
[17:50] <zzxc> or gnome-shell --replace
[17:50] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: I would guess that you do not have an active GUI session on the remote since it appears to be a VM.
[17:50] <Tiensbakung> aeyesi: sudo apt-get install --reinstall package-name?
[17:50] <aeyesi> yeah but this is well gnome window, how it could be named ? ._.
[17:50] <codmadnesspro_> http://prntscr.com/3fi9he
[17:51] <codmadnesspro_> Heres a video i just recorded of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rViAGEKtKk&feature=youtu.be
[17:51] <Tiensbakung> aeyesi: fire up your system monitor, you should be able to figure it out
[17:52] <codmadnesspro_> im on a vps btw
[17:52] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: SOme additional stuff here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2048543
[17:52] <zzxc> Ahhh so the issue is that there is not DE fully installed.
[17:52] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: I think by default tightvnc expects an active local session for you to connect to.
[17:52] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: You could try running startx.
[17:52] <codmadnesspro_> I also installed vnc4server to see if it did a differnece
[17:52] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: You also might have more luck with freenx.
[17:52] <codmadnesspro_> and it showeed the some thing
[17:53] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: That also expects an active local session.
[17:53] <zzxc> codmadnesspro_: Alright what do you get if you get a sudo apt-get install unity?
[17:53] <codmadnesspro_> ok let me try
[17:53] <codmadnesspro_> http://prntscr.com/3fialv
[17:53] <zzxc> I can't tell you how many times I start off by typing brew now.
[17:53] <jhutchins> zzxc: That's not going to affect the fact that there's no local X session running.
[17:54] <beatnick> Hello! when i delete a row from libreoffice calc, there's a fatal error "vector::_M_range_check"
[17:54] <Kreuger> rvdv, did you see the pastebin?
[17:54] <rvdv> Kreuger: I did some searching on the net, and one of the souurces said that maybe a update of your BIOS would help ....
[17:54] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: You could try launching individual X applications instead of a full desktop.
[17:54] <rvdv> Kreuger: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi#thinkpad_ec:_nhttp://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi#thinkpad_ec:_no_ThinkPad_embedded_controller.21o_ThinkPad_embedded_controller.21
[17:54] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: Those can be forwarded to a local X server over ssh.
[17:54] <zzxc> jhutchins: Yeah I was figuring it wasn't properly installed, forcing it to reinstall I was hoping would fix it.
[17:54] <codmadnesspro_> hmm
[17:54] <Kreuger> rvdv,  Yeah I saw that too. But if it worked before, it shouldn't just stop working.
[17:55] <Guest63904> Hi ubuntu fellows! i am using lubuntu 12.04 - and i tried to boot directly to command line instead of an login manager - it worked. But i cant startx there, and also reverse the change isnt working (i changed in /etc/default/grub the value of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT from "quiet splash" to "text" and back again... power off and on, and its still text-login).. could anyone give me a hint? startx freezes on GLX extension by the way... thank
[17:55] <jhutchins> zzxc: Well, he installed gnome.
[17:55] <ASHER1> Hello i have problem with this

[17:56] <Guest63904> @jhutchins thanks! ill try
[17:56] <ASHER1> ok
[17:56] <rvdv> Kreuger: tech is always moving step by step forward ... now the kernel, then the firmware, then the BIOS ... maybe the system is now astep ahead of the BIOS and things are not really compatible at the moment
[17:56] <zzxc> Alright I really need to get back to work.
[17:56] <zzxc> Goodluck codmadnesspro_

[17:58] <ASHER1> ruby-relay:14:in `require': no such file to load -- cinch (LoadError)
[17:58] <aeyesi> getxsick The other one is for MAC computers
[17:59] <codmadnesspro_> Ill just tell them to reimage my vps and ill start all over agian
[17:59] <getxsick> aysorth: the new one with intel cpu's as well?
[17:59] <codmadnesspro_> Can i install ubuntu onto my windows 8.1 pc?
[17:59] <aeyesi> yep
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> !dualboot | codmadnesspro_
[17:59] <codmadnesspro_> becuz win 8.1 is shit
[18:00] <getxsick> aysorth: i assume, if i run virtualbox on OSX i still need normal 64 bit?
[18:00] <xangua> Guest63904: did you try lightdm ¿
[18:00] <ASHER1> someone
[18:00] <ASHER1> ?
[18:00] <codmadnesspro_> Is there a way to remove windows 8.1 and just leave it with ubuntu?
[18:00] <aeyesi> yeah
[18:00] <codmadnesspro_> So theres no dual boot its just pure ubuntu
[18:00] <aeyesi> If u prepare ubuntu installation, it will ask you exactly what you want to do
[18:00] <codmadnesspro_> win 8.1 is pissin me off
[18:00] <codmadnesspro_> xD
[18:00] <MonkeyDust> codmadnesspro_  boot live dvd or usb, use gparted to delete partitions
[18:01] <codmadnesspro_> k
[18:01] <ASHER1> someone know about this error?
[18:01] <Beldar> codmadnesspro_, Keep your language clean here please. You have a gpt partiiton table even if you remove all partitions.
[18:01] <codmadnesspro_> Also is it still possible that i can use .exe files on ubuntu?
[18:01] <Unknown__> where do i find my nivdia gefore gtx driver on kubuntu lol?
[18:01] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: No real need for the live CD, you can delete the windows partitions from a regular ubuntu session.
[18:01] <ASHER1> after i install ruby
[18:01] <codmadnesspro_> k
[18:01] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: Run update-grub after you do and it'll clean up the boot menu.
[18:02] <codmadnesspro_> So could i still run .exe on ubuntu?
[18:02] <moquist> Here is the answer to my question about HUD grabbing focus when I use Alt in Gnome Terminal: http://askubuntu.com/questions/122209/how-do-i-modify-or-disable-the-huds-use-of-the-alt-key
[18:02] <aeyesi> dont use .exe
[18:02] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: Not necessarily.
[18:02] <aeyesi> Any idea how to fix 5.1 sound with intel ? <,<
[18:02] <codmadnesspro_> Is there an app that could port it maybe?
[18:02] <moquist> Turns out I misread the default HUD shortcut of "Alt L" as "Alt+L". Disabling that shortcut entirely in System Settings has resolved the issue.
[18:02] <aeyesi> + re-install of unity without reinstall of whole OS ?
[18:02] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: FInd the Linux way to accomplish whatever task the .exe was for.
[18:02] <Guest63904> lightdm worked like a charm - thank u very much xangua! wish u a great weekend. lovely community here - i will stay in freesoftware for the rest of my life =)
[18:02] <codmadnesspro_> k xD
[18:02] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: Depends on the program.
[18:03] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: Some windows software will run under Wine, but a lot won't.
[18:03] <codmadnesspro_> kay
[18:03] <jhutchins> !wine
[18:03] <codmadnesspro_> can you play steam games on it?
[18:03] <aeyesi> yes
[18:03] <aeyesi> (some of them)
[18:03] <codmadnesspro_> call of duty mw2?
[18:03] <jhutchins> codmadnesspro_: Steam has linux games.
[18:04] <aeyesi> eq. the one with tux icon
[18:04] <jhutchins> !steam
[18:04] <aeyesi> for Call of duty u will need WINE
[18:04] <codmadnesspro_> o
[18:04] <codmadnesspro_> ok
[18:04] <aeyesi> (but no guaranties)
[18:04] <codmadnesspro_> i hope it works :P
[18:04] <codmadnesspro_> k bye
[18:07] <aeyesi> anyone have tip for 5.1 in 14.04 ? :/ (intel HDA)
[18:07] <aeyesi> sound~
[18:07] <MonkeyDust> aeyesi  that's a bit vague... what's 5.1? a windows version?
[18:08] <aeyesi> no sound 5.1
[18:08] <MonkeyDust> info sound
[18:08] <MonkeyDust> !info sound
[18:08] <aeyesi> you know... ~ noo just like 7.1 speekers etc
[18:08] <aeyesi> speakers*
[18:08] <MonkeyDust> soudn 5.1 and speakers 7.1, still too vague
[18:09] <aeyesi> how-to-get analog 5.1 with intel HDA workin on 14.04 ? :>
[18:09] <aeyesi> plz? :>
[18:10] <Tiensbakung> MonkeyDust, think aeyesi means 5.1 surround sound
[18:10] <aeyesi> yeah xD the worst nightmare ever
[18:10] <cer> hi everybody
[18:11] <cer> back with my 3TB MyBook problem ....
[18:11] <cer> I formatted it ext4, but I need my wife to be able to connect it to the laptop and then mount it so that she can backup her pictures
[18:11] <aeyesi> I tried like everything* but i cant make it play on all 6 speakers
[18:11] <cer> currently, I cannot do that ....
[18:12] <aeyesi> cer... why..?
[18:12] <cer> when I connect it, it is recognsed, but not mounted and Disks or Gparted cannot mount it
[18:12] <skinux> What is the most common cause of right-clicking desktop background not working?
[18:12] <MonkeyDust> aeyesi  #ubuntustudio is multimedia dedicated, try that channel
[18:12] <skinux> I've already reinstalled ubuntu-desktop and reset Unity.
[18:12] <aeyesi> cool thanks
[18:12] <aeyesi> skinux i've done the same thing right now :D
[18:13] <cer> aeyesi: because disks and gparted ar enot mounting it
[18:13] <aeyesi> sry i have no idea cerr
[18:13] <thiagotrm> hi
[18:13] <skinux> It seems isolated to "Ubuntu" session option
[18:14] <Tiensbakung> cer: can you manually mount it with "sudo mount" command?
[18:16] <cer> Tiensbakung: would rather avoid to avoid destroying data
[18:16] <jhutchins> cer: gparted is for editing partitions, not mounting disks.
[18:17] <jhutchins> cer: Are you saying gparted can't see the partition?  If so how did you format it?
[18:17] <jhutchins> cer: Why would the mount command affect the data?
[18:18] <cer> jhutchins: yes, gparted sees the partition
[18:18] <cer> jhutchins: gparted can mount partitions
[18:18] <cer> jhutchins: and so can Disks
[18:18] <jhutchins> cer: Apparently not this partition.
[18:18] <jhutchins> cer: Try sudo mount /dev/whatever /mnt
[18:18] <sigint88> anyone have any good MAAS Deployment pointers/advise
[18:19] <jhutchins> sigint88: Yes, don't.
[18:19] <jhutchins> sigint88: It's not ready for linux yet.
[18:19] <jhutchins> sigint88: Are you talking about MaaS360?
[18:20] <sigint88> umm mentioned here http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/tools/maas
[18:20] <sigint88> what is maas360? is it a game?
[18:20] <brian1001> hi people
[18:22] <jhutchins> sigint88: No, MaaS360 is an auditing/security monitoring tool.
[18:22] <jhutchins> sigint88: https://maas.ubuntu.com/
[18:22] <sigint88> hmm
[18:22] <sigint88> seems like the same thing then
[18:22] <FunnyLookinHat> Anyone know of a way to disable the mouse being able to interact with the application switcher?
[18:22] <jhutchins> sigint88: No, second link is to Ubuntu metal-as-a-service.
[18:23] <jhutchins> sigint88: You don't want to know about MaaS360.
[18:23] <sigint88> ahh ok jhutchins i see here
[18:23] <sigint88> http://www.maas360.com/
[18:24] <ChibaPet_> So, I'm curious. Ubuntu has an /etc/default/keyboard, but there appears to be no man page for it, which Debian has the man page. Why would the man page have been omitted? Does it indicate that Ubuntu wants that file to be hands-off, or was it just left out in error? Or is there some other explanation?
[18:24] <sigint88> yes, so im interested in maas <metal-as-a-service>
[18:24] <jhutchins> sigint88: Yep, that's the nasty beast.
[18:24] <ChibaPet_> s/which/while/
[18:25] <cer> jhutchins:done, it mounts OK .... it seem to show less disk available than the NTFS one I have
[18:25] <cer> jhutchins: the problem is that Disks should be able to mount graphically
[18:25] <jhutchins> cer: ext reserves 15% for system use.
[18:26] <jhutchins> cer: can be tuned with hdparm.
[18:26] <jhutchins> 15%?  5%?
[18:26] <reisio> with tune2fs, anyways?
[18:27] <jhutchins> 5%
[18:27] <reisio> not an issue, really, unless your disks are absurdly large
[18:27] <reisio> and even then, only when you can paradoxically afford large disks but not more of them :p
[18:27] <jhutchins> reisio: You're right, tune2fs.
[18:27] <reisio> :D
[18:27] <cer> jhutchins: no, this is really down to the 1K blocks .... it shows<PHONE_NUMBER> instead of the usual<PHONE_NUMBER>
[18:28] <Pici> sigint88: You might have better luck asking in #ubuntu-server
[18:28] <jhutchins> cer: Ok.  Put it in your fstab and see if it mounts when you connect it.
[18:28] <cristian_c> Hi
[18:28] <reisio> hi crist
[18:28] <jorgevazq> Helo!
[18:28] <jhutchins> cer: Look at dmesg to see what's going on when it connects.
[18:28] <cer> jhutchins: in what sense? fstab is not for automounting.
[18:28] <cristian_c> I can't delete all the files on my mp3 player
[18:28] <cristian_c> How can I solve this problem?
[18:28] <reisio> cristian_c: how've you tried?
[18:29] <ChibaPet_> So, that kind of omission makes throws me into a sort of existential quandry, as I wonder if supporting Ubuntu is really a good idea. Why would they leave something undocumented when the work has already been done for them, and only needs to be included?
[18:29] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[18:29] <cristian_c> reisio, via file manager
[18:29] <cer> jhutchins: I looked at dmesg, and it is fine. EXT4-fs (sdc1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
[18:29] <reisio> cristian_c: what happens when you try?
[18:29] <cristian_c> reisio, I get an error message
[18:29] <reisio> ChibaPet_: what made you choose Ubuntu over Debian in the first place?
[18:29] <jorgevazq> I'm having issues installing ubuntu
[18:29] <reisio> cristian_c: ...which states what?
[18:30] <reisio> jorgevazq: what issues?
[18:30] <jorgevazq> reisio, I installed the OS using the recommended settings alongside Windows 8.1
[18:30] <Beldar> ChibaPet_, When you find that perfect world, let us know.
[18:30] <ChibaPet_> reisio: Disappointment over the quality of some work in Debian from developers that seem to have no interest in supporting -stable made me start to look for alternateives.
[18:30] <ChibaPet_> Beldar: I'll tell you what I find.
[18:30] <cer> jhutchins: oh, I created a GUID partition table instead of a MBR on the disk .... may that account for the difference?
[18:30] <reisio> ChibaPet_: ...and you chose a distro sourced from the unstable branch of Debian?...
[18:30] <reisio> ChibaPet_: sounds like you didn't quite think it all through
[18:31] <jorgevazq> reisio, but when I boot I can't choose which OS to boot, it just opens Windows
[18:31] <reisio> jorgevazq: how many disks do you have?
[18:31] <jorgevazq> One hard disk and I'm not sure about how many partitions it has
[18:31] <ChibaPet_> reisio: I chose an LTS edition of Ubuntu, and they've gotten some of the things right that Debian got wrong. So this is my twitching and wondering why it can't be just a tiny bit better. :P
[18:31] <reisio> LTS is still sourced from unstable Debian
[18:32] <ChibaPet_> Plus, I really like Unity quite a bit so far.
[18:32] <reisio> "LTS" is just a buzzword to make you feel better about irresponsibly putting off updating
[18:32] <ChibaPet_> hah
[18:32] <reisio> anyways, like the man said, little is perfect
[18:32] <jorgevazq> reisio, the thing is I tried with Boot Repair using the Live USB (twice), but BR says I should enable EFI
[18:32] <reisio> over time you're going to collect your own personal fixes to things
[18:32] <reisio> jorgevazq: maybe you should enable EFI
[18:33] <cristian_c> reisio, .Trash-1000:unable to trash the file: Argument not valid
[18:33] <reisio> ...and you can use Unity on any distro, FYI
[18:33] <cer> jhutchins: what lne would you put in fstab to get autmounting?
[18:33] <jorgevazq> however, if I enable EFI I can't boot neither from the USB, nor Ubuntu, just Windows
[18:33] <reisio> it's a fairly small modification of GNOME 3 and compiz
[18:33] <jorgevazq> could you hold on for a few minutes? I have to run an errand
[18:33] <reisio> jorgevazq: mmm, well you could theoretically use Windows' boot manager for the time being, by running EasyBCD from within Windows
[18:34] <jorgevazq> reisio, I'll check that when I come back
[18:34] <jorgevazq> brb

[18:43] <reisio> ASHER1: doesn't compiz do that already?
[18:43]  * reisio asked, already knowing the answer
[18:43] <SchrodingersScat> ASHER1: afaict that functionality is already built-in to xubuntu, probably unity as well.
[18:43] <reisio> yup, Xfwm from Xubuntu/Xfce does it as well
[18:44] <rcmaehl_webchat> There was a skype for 10.04 and 12.04, so there's going to be a skype for 14.04 right?
[18:44] <cristian_c> reisio, how can I delete the two remaing files?
[18:45] <reisio> rcmaehl_webchat: same one
[18:45] <reisio> cristian_c: you try from the terminal yet?
[18:45] <Codmadnesspro_> Can someone find a tutorial to installing a desktop on a ubuntu 12.04 server?
[18:45] <reisio> Codmadnesspro_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

[18:45] <cristian_c> reisio, I've tried from the terminal
[18:45] <rcmaehl_webchat> reisio: really?
[18:45] <Codmadnesspro_> well its just a vps
[18:45] <Codmadnesspro_> i brought
[18:46] <Codmadnesspro_> what should i actally do to install the desktop :P
[18:46] <cristian_c> reisio, any other ideas?
[18:46] <reisio> cristian_c: what happened?
[18:46] <Codmadnesspro_> !gui
[18:46] <cristian_c> reisio, the folder has been deleted
[18:47] <SchrodingersScat> rcmaehl_webchat: how would we know? isn't that freedom-denying software?  I don't think they give ubuntu (or users) any information on that.
[18:47] <reisio> rcmaehl_webchat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[18:47] <reisio> cristian_c: so what's the problem?
[18:47] <Codmadnesspro_> Can someone find a tutorial to installing a desktop on a ubuntu 12.04 server?
[18:47] <Codmadnesspro_> :P
[18:47] <cristian_c> reisio, I must delete the other two files
[18:47] <cer> how do you check an external usb disk for bad sectors
[18:47] <SchrodingersScat> Codmadnesspro_: which desktop would you like?
[18:47] <cer> ?
[18:47] <Codmadnesspro_> just the desktop that has the app slider on the left hand side
[18:48] <Codmadnesspro_> i dont know what actal desktop is that
[18:48] <SchrodingersScat> Codmadnesspro_: you could try a 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' might be crazy enough to work.
[18:48] <Codmadnesspro_> btw im running it as a vps
[18:48] <Codmadnesspro_> why do you think it will be crazy enough to work?
[18:49] <Tiensbakung> cristian_c: what files are remaining?
[18:49] <Codmadnesspro_> bump Can someone find a tutorial to installing a desktop on a ubuntu 12.04 server?
[18:49] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, AUTORUN.INF and Raga3icon.fil
[18:49] <Codmadnesspro_> xD that actally works
[18:49] <SchrodingersScat> Codmadnesspro_: so that didn't work?

[18:50] <SchrodingersScat> !info ubuntu-desktop | Codmadnesspro_

[18:53] <Codmadnesspro_> O i didnt update it or upgrade lol
[18:53] <trism> Linuturk: for some reason they dropped the 99-footer script, this should do the job: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7381360/
[18:53] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, no files
[18:53] <trism> Linuturk: make sure it is executable, it goes in /etc/update-motd.d/
[18:53] <rcmaehl_webchat> Kamaris: if reboot is hanging, try reboot -f
[18:53] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, but the file manager shows two files
[18:54] <Linuturk> trism: I've got a simple printf script in that directory, executable, and it isn't being included in the motd
[18:54] <Tiensbakung> cristian_c: ??? try restart the file manager
[18:54] <Linuturk> trism: script runs fine when invoked in the shell
[18:54] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, ok
[18:55] <brian1001> hi everyone, i wondered if someone knew a open source " nurse call" system
[18:55] <trism> Linuturk: did you try a couple times, I notice the first time after I add a script it doesn't show up
[18:55] <Linuturk> trism: the file name is 99-ansible-managed
[18:55] <brian1001> which would run under Ubuntu linux server
[18:55] <Linuturk> I've rebooted a few times trism
[18:55] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, always those two files
[18:55] <Codmadnesspro_> Ok its upgrading
[18:55] <cristian_c> I've closed and reopened the file manager
[18:55] <trism> Linuturk: otherwise see if you get an error from: run-parts /etc/update-motd.d/
[18:56] <SchrodingersScat> brian1001: sounds interesting, never had to think about that, what exactly would you need this system to do?
[18:56] <Codmadnesspro_> SchrodingersScat what do i do after doing installing ubuntu-desktop?
[18:56] <Linuturk> failed to exec /etc/update-motd.d//99-ansible-managed: Exec format error trism
[18:56] <Linuturk> guess that's it
[18:56] <Tiensbakung> cristian_c: try "ls -a" in the terminal
[18:56] <trism> Linuturk: pastebin the file
[18:56] <brian1001> if a client would push a butotn , the system would "call" me for example
[18:56] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, it returns: .  ..
[18:56] <brian1001> and tells me to run to client #1 for example
[18:57] <Codmadnesspro_> SchrodingersScat what do i do after doing installing ubuntu-desktop?
[18:57] <Frag-O-Byte> Hello
[18:57] <Linuturk> trism: needed a #!/bin/sh at the top

[18:58] <Codmadnesspro_> wha should i do :/
[18:58] <Codmadnesspro_>   The default action is to keep your current version. *** nmbd.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
[18:59] <Tiensbakung> cristian_c: it's a little puzzling, I would believe they are deleted, because terminal should give you more convincible  result. However, if that's a usb stick, you can also try simply reformatting it
[18:59] <trism> Codmadnesspro_: if you hit d then enter you can see the differences, then hit q to return to that prompt...for a script in /etc/init/ you probably want to say yes unless you know you modified the script yourself
[18:59] <trism> Codmadnesspro_: yes = y that is
[19:00] <Codmadnesspro_> i never modified it :/
[19:00] <Frag-O-Byte> Dose anyone know how i can set two applications running and have them send sound to two difrent devices?

[19:07] <kostkon> Frag-O-Byte, open pavucontrol, click on playback, select a different device for the game's audio stream
[19:08] <Frag-O-Byte> i only have HDMI or iec958

[19:18] <Tiensbakung> cristian_c: I'm out of ideas. It's really puzzling:-(
[19:18] <mp33pm> i'm only getting the option of 800x600 resolution
[19:18] <cristian_c> uhm
[19:18] <cristian_c> ok
[19:19] <mp33pm> not multiple resolutions like i have in the past
[19:19] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, I try to format it

[19:20] <Vivekananda> hello everyone. I am getting a : AH00037: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /home/vvjhu/www . where ~/www/ -> /media/.../www/ .  This is apache 2.4 ubuntu 12.04. How do I fix this ?
[19:20] <Frag-O-Byte> Back
[19:20] <SCHAAP137> Codmadnesspro_: depends, did you edit nmdb.conf? or do you use it?
[19:21] <zzxc> daftykins: You know I was there too. And yes as I mentoned irssi prompt was displaying an extra / the begining. Seeing as how it was all instances of the same typo mistake, I would call it a typo. But if you really want to get into an aguement over grammer I suggest we have this outside of the #ubuntu channel instead of carrying it on in here.
[19:21] <Codmadnesspro_> Never modified anything at all
[19:21] <Codmadnesspro_> It just poped up when i typed sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:21] <daftykins> zzxc: that's ok, just use your status window for commands in future :)
[19:21] <zzxc> Vivekananda: symbolic links don't deal well with relativistic paths. I would suggest diving it a full path from the root directory.
[19:21] <SCHAAP137> then, i would replace it with the new version
[19:21] <Frag-O-Byte> Is there anyone who can help me with my issue i have regarding iec958 sound device..?
[19:22] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, done
[19:22] <Codmadnesspro_> So is that a y or a n?
[19:22] <SCHAAP137> Codmadnesspro_: since it's possible the new config has extra lines in it by default
[19:22] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, but always one icon
[19:22] <SCHAAP137> i would replace it if you didnt use/edit the file beforehand
[19:22] <mp33pm> does anyone know
[19:22] <Codmadnesspro_> So should I press y or n?
[19:22] <Vivekananda> zzxc: I reinstalled ubuntu and this setup was working great before
[19:22] <Tiensbakung> cristian_c: ???
[19:22] <cristian_c> Tiensbakung, i've reduced the files, but not solved completely
[19:22] <SCHAAP137> Y

[19:35] <zzxc> Vivekananda: Secondly did you shutdown apache prior to this link
[19:35] <SCHAAP137> Codmadnesspro_: just go to Cancel, repeat the installer from the start
[19:36] <Codmadnesspro_> oh

[19:36] <Codmadnesspro_> ty
[19:36] <herbstwind> ddd
[19:36] <Codmadnesspro_> so do i just do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop again?
[19:36] <herbstwind> toll
[19:37] <SCHAAP137> Codmadnesspro_: i guess so, maybe it will be nicer to use a web console of some sort (HTML5/java) instead of the SSH session
[19:37] <Codmadnesspro_> yeh :/
[19:37] <SCHAAP137> Codmadnesspro_: when your sshd daemon restarts, or when in installs the new version, you can lose the connection

[19:37] <Codmadnesspro_> what do you recommend of a web console?
[19:37] <bekks> Codmadnesspro_: What for?
[19:37] <Codmadnesspro_> Erm it just stopped and posted this E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[19:37] <SCHAAP137> Codmadnesspro_: your hosting provider does not have an option to see a console through the internet browser?
[19:37] <Vivekananda> zzxc: I have done a service apache2  restart many times and can do it again
[19:37] <Codmadnesspro_> yeh it does schapp
[19:38] <SCHAAP137> Codmadnesspro_: for system upgrades that would be recommendable
[19:38] <Codmadnesspro_> o
[19:38] <Frag-O-Byte> is there a ubuntu help channel?
[19:38] <bekks> Frag-O-Byte: You are in it. :)
[19:38] <SCHAAP137> Codmadnesspro_: it's like a true console, not a SSH session, so more reliable when you install an OS
[19:38] <Codmadnesspro_> Because it said E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) should i intall it again?
[19:38]  * Frag-O-Byte facepalms
[19:38] <Codmadnesspro_> On my vps providor theres a button saying vnc console
[19:38] <Codmadnesspro_> is that it?
[19:39] <SCHAAP137> yeah, possibly
[19:39] <skinux> This is rediculous. Desktop backround isn't listening to background that is set. It just stays black.

[19:41] <zzxc> Vivekananda: Right right. I'm wondering if the new folder doesn't have r/w/x premissions for apache it would give an error simalar to that.

[19:54] <Guest52176> alguien por aqui
[19:54] <fbarriga> ?
[19:55] <zenpac> Anyone on ubuntu 14.04 notice TERMINFO problems when ssh'ing to another 14.04 system from non-1404?
[19:55] <Geo> looks like my sytem crashed mid-upgrade to 14.4... how hosed am I?
[19:55] <zenpac> vi fails to repaint over removed chars.
[19:55] <SCHAAP137> hmm, havent tested zenpac
[19:55] <basiclaser> hey is it massively silly to use 32 bit ubuntu on a 64 bit machine? or should i take the 30 minutes to upgrade?
[19:56] <Slart> basiclaser: you won't really miss out on anything
[19:56] <zenpac> Ive tried it on several 1404 systems and its repeatable.. You can "export TERM=screen" and the problem goes away.
[19:56] <Slart> basiclaser: I wouldn't reinstall if I found out I had installed the 32-bit version
[19:56] <zenpac> basiclaser: depends on what you are using it for..
[19:56] <basiclaser> Slart: great thanks
[19:56] <zenpac> basiclaser: what are you using it for?
[19:56] <Slart> basiclaser: unless you've got more than 4GB of memory, of course

[19:57] <saimoele> hello!
[19:57] <pancakes9> hey if i want to install postfix, and I don't have a domain name like example.com, does it still work?
[19:57] <zenpac> basiclaser: if you plan to run VM's you may want 64bit.
[19:57] <basiclaser> nop
[19:57] <pancakes9> basiclaser: is that nop for my question?
[19:57] <Nothing_Much> My non-USB microphone won't give out anything except Static, I can't hear my own voice when I record as well, Ubuntu 14.04

[20:01] <skinux> Here are some details from crash of SignOn-UI, which happens as soon as Unity loads. http://paste.pm/gbg.js
[20:01] <xtbman> Is there a place for me to Ubuntu Server's syslinux.cfg online? I'm making a multiboot usb and need to see what its append line says, but I only have the ISO.
[20:01] <xtbman> to see*
[20:03] <Frag-O-Byte> Schaap137 im finding this complicated to setup i have tried all that i can see on this jack program do you know how i set it up?
[20:03] <delwe_> SALUT
[20:06] <skinux> What does this mean: ERROR: apport (pid 3303) Fri May  2 12:46:38 2014: gdbus call error: Error connecting: Could not connect: Connection refused
[20:06] <decwrl> I'm looking for some assistance on setting up apt-cacher.
[20:07] <decwrl> I tried to set it up on Ubuntu 14.04 and found that while it starts fine, it doesn't actually proxy anything.  Does anyone have experience setting up apt-cacher, especially under 14.04?
[20:08] <[gabriel]> hey all slight prollem, album art doesn'r show up in my sound indicator.... it was working a min ago, logged out and back in and now no album art :(
[20:09] <skinux> Is there some peice of information I haven't provided?????
[20:10] <Geo> looks like my sytem crashed mid-upgrade to 14.4... how hosed am I? how do I recover?
[20:11] <xtbman> where is syslinux.cfg located on the Ubuntu Server iso?
[20:13] <kikimeter> hi guys, do you have a good /etc/hosts file example ? I want to set up properly my /etc/hosts file with hostname, localhost IPv4 and IPv6
[20:14] <k1l> Geo: run "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to get all the missing updated packages
[20:14] <iq_> 14.04 seems useless without being connected to the internet??
[20:15] <xtbman> I'm trying to make a multiboot USB stick that includes Ubuntu Server. I've added Grub and the server iso to the USB as instructed. It then says I should modify the grub.cfg and add any options found in the server.iso's append line. Which file would this be in?
[20:16] <professionaldumb> Hello. X is broken again after upgrade to 14.04. I've experienced trouble with X in the past on this very installation.
[20:17] <skinux> Idk if anyone checked my paste, but SignOn-UI crashes because it cannot address a memory address.
[20:18] <Geo> k1l: thanks
[20:18] <Geo> they had all dl'd
[20:18] <Geo> just not installed
[20:21] <professionaldumb> Hello? I need help with Xorg.
[20:24] <zenpac> The TERMINFO problem only seems to affect xterms...
[20:25] <zenpac> You have to 1. open an xterm on workstation 2. ssh into a 1404 system. 3. start vim on a text file, 4. Rub out chars, or scroll up/down..
[20:25] <superherointj> I have installed a new old HD that has data on it on my PC so I can recover some files. But I'm not sure if it was a windows HD or linux. It's really old. In "fdisk -l" I can see "/dev/sdb" but I dont know mounting it because the partition type isn't clear for me.
[20:26] <professionaldumb> Hello. X is broken again after upgrade to 14.04. I've experienced trouble with X in the past on this very installation.
[20:26] <superherointj> Is it possible to automatically mount all partitions on this HD?
[20:27] <Frag-O-Byte> Im back and Jacks APP is useless to me it just cause one almighty noise to squeelch out over my headphones.
[20:28] <superherointj> Should "fdisk -l" show all partitions in the HD?
[20:28] <axizor> Hi was wondering if I could get help installing 14.04 I just get a black screen soon after the installer loads and my PC reboots
[20:29] <axizor> I've tried all the basic stuff to rule hardware conflicts out but still nothing
[20:29] <axizor> Running on an AMD APU
[20:29] <Frag-O-Byte> is Built-in Audio just a generic audio device? do i need to install my realtek drivers?

[20:31] <skinux> SignOn-UI crashing when Unity (Ubuntu) desktop loads: http://paste.pm/gbg.js
[20:31] <Codmadnesspro> anyone?
[20:31] <brian1001> hi everyone, i wondered if someone knew a open source " nurse call" system
[20:31] <skinux> this is part of my troubleshooting black desktop background and right-click not working
[20:32] <Codmadnesspro> dont think anyones on
[20:32] <axizor> Codmadmesspro learn some patience
[20:32] <axizor> Not all your answers get picked up in the first few seconds of asking
[20:33] <brian1001> nods :)
[20:33] <Codmadnesspro> *sigh*
[20:33] <skinux> I hate not being able to copy details of a program crash.
[20:33] <Codmadnesspro> :P
[20:33] <Codmadnesspro> schaap
[20:34] <axizor> Codmadnesspro? Is that like your XBL gamer tag or something lol
[20:34] <Codmadnesspro> nah psn gamer tag
[20:34] <Codmadnesspro> :P
[20:34] <axizor> Figured it was one of the two
[20:34] <Codmadnesspro> Its meant to be actally CoDMadnessPRO
[20:34] <Codmadnesspro> too lazy to type
[20:34] <Codmadnesspro> :P
[20:35] <axizor> Ah, I see
[20:35] <Codmadnesspro> What does this error mean? 0.0 Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot find a free VT: Invalid argument.
[20:35] <Codmadnesspro> Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support          at http://wiki.x.org?
[20:36] <joepetrix> hi all
[20:38] <jhutchins> Codmadnesspro: Which release, and which desktop?
[20:39] <Codmadnesspro> err i just did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop gdm vnc4server and then did startx and it didnt work 0.0
[20:39] <jhutchins> Codmadnesspro: Try starting gdm (check to see if it's running on Alt-F7 first).
[20:39] <Kalel> Greetings...
[20:40] <Voyage> how can i change /etc/resolv.conf so that the system wont change it again?
[20:40] <Kalel> holstein: Hey..
[20:40] <Codmadnesspro> When i do alt 7 it shows [18~
[20:40] <Codmadnesspro> f7*
[20:40] <jhutchins> Voyage: Configure the dhcp client.
[20:40] <jhutchins> !dhcp
[20:40] <Codmadnesspro> Wait... how do i start gdm?
[20:41] <jhutchins> Hm, that won't be that much help.
[20:41] <Codmadnesspro> What is the command to start gdm?
[20:41] <jhutchins> Codmadnesspro: sudo service gdm status, sudo service gdm start
[20:41] <Codmadnesspro> gdm start/running, process 591
[20:42] <jhutchins> !resolv.conf | Voyage
[20:42] <jhutchins> Voyage: That should explain it.
[20:42] <Codmadnesspro> root@vm79190:~# sudo service gdm status gdm start/running, process 591 root@vm79190:~# ^C root@vm79190:~# sudo service gdm start start: Job is already running: gdm
[20:42] <jhutchins> Voyage: Basically you configure /etc/dhclient.conf and tell it not to overwrite DNS settings.
[20:43] <rdz> hi all. i have a question about creating upstart configuration files. is this the appropriate channel?
[20:43] <Voyage> jhutchins,  which part of /etc/dhclient.conf ?
[20:43] <jhutchins> Voyage: Not sure.
[20:43] <Voyage> jhutchins,  i think  /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf ?
[20:44] <jhutchins> Voyage: Yeah, probably.
[20:44] <skinux> I guess upgrading to 14.04 was a mistake.
[20:45] <jhutchins> skinux: Try a different desktop.  xfce maybe.
[20:45] <jhutchins> skinux: Check the forums.
[20:46] <skinux> I already checked forums
[20:46] <skinux> I already tried GNOME desktop and it worked without problem.
[20:46] <Voyage> cant change resolv.conf
[20:47] <Elfuego> Hmm anyone know how to get an hyperV- virtual nic to connect at 1gbps in ubuntu?
[20:47] <Elfuego> I have hv_netvsc installed
[20:47] <skinux> I'm not looking to change desktop environments. I'm looking to fix Unity.
[20:48] <jhutchins> Oh, looky there, dhclient.conf has a manpage.
[20:48] <Pessimist> skinux, give us more info like what are you doing and what do you expect to happen
[20:48] <k1l> skinux: see .xsession-errors whats going on there
[20:48] <jhutchins> Pessimist: He's got a black desktop with no icons, like unity isn't running.
[20:49] <FunnyLookinHat> Anyone know of a way to disable the mouse being able to interact with the application switcher?
[20:49] <k1l> skinux: is the guest account working propperly?
[20:49] <skinux> I don't have a guest account
[20:49] <k1l> o_O ?
[20:49] <oneof3> hello. will ubuntu play .mov files?
[20:49] <k1l> skinux: is this a standard ubuntu-desktop install?
[20:50] <Voyage> jhutchins,  etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base will to do
[20:50] <elisa> Qualcuno può dirmi un programma per scaricare musica?
[20:50] <skinux> Yes!
[20:50] <jhutchins> oneof3: No, but there are programs available in ubuntu that will.
[20:50] <oneof3> can you recommend one, jhutchins
[20:50] <k1l> !it | elisa
[20:50] <jhutchins> Voyage: Good work!
[20:51] <oneof3> ty jhutchins
[20:51] <Voyage> so I type in there "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" ?
[20:51] <jhutchins> oneof3: Pretty sure mplayer will, that's my preference.
[20:51] <Pessimist> skinux, create a new user and try to run x on it.
[20:51] <Elfuego> Hmm anyone know how to get an hyperV- virtual nic to connect at 1gbps in ubuntu?
[20:51] <Voyage>  sudo nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base  and type "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" there ?
[20:51] <k1l> skinux: see .xsession-errors in the users home. then make a new user and try if he gt the same problems
[20:52] <jhutchins> Voyage: I haven't had to do this in several years so I'm not clear on the details.
[20:52] <Voyage> jhutchins,  cat /etc/resolv.conf still points to old ip
[20:53] <Puppy> This is what I discover from exploring linux! O.O
[20:53] <k1l> Pessimist: skinux "running x on it" is choose the other user in the lightdm. running startx will break some file permissions and cause more trouble on ubuntu
[20:53] <jhutchins> Voyage: I would expect you'd have to stop/start networking to cycle the client and make it take effect.
[20:53] <Pessimist> k1l, we didn't say he needs to run it with startx
[20:53] <Voyage> hm
[20:55] <k1l> Pessimist: yes, but unfortunately most users did see some cool howto where they use startx and they think that is the standard usage. didnt meant to judge you, just wanted to make it clear.
[20:55] <jhutchins> Voyage: You could probably kill and re-start dhclient.
[20:56] <jhutchins> Voyage: Take a look at ps ax to see what options are being passed to it.
[20:57] <Voyage> jhutchins,   I have made it nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> but I cant ping google.com now
[20:57] <jhutchins> k1l: startx used to be fairly common before the DM standard caught on.
[20:58] <jhutchins> Voyage: Simply changing resolv.conf should make it use the new settings.
[20:58] <k1l> jhutchins: yep, i know.
[20:58] <roald> jhutchins: still using startx, it so quick
[20:59] <jhutchins> I just use a dm with auto-login.
[20:59] <Pessimist> jhutchins, standard until you have to fix your machine...
[21:00] <qin_> k1l: what is "blessed" method of running few x servers?
[21:02] <jhutchins> !de
[21:03] <rypervenche> <--- Another startxer :) Although I alias startx to "startx & sleep 30 && logout" to keep my TTY from having a user logged in.
[21:03] <skinux> After creating a new user account, only remaining problems are black desktop background, and right-clicking background still doesn't work.
[21:04] <k1l> starting a nother user with switch account will start a second x
[21:05] <k1l> i dont say there is no need for startx anymore. but for 99,99% of the users in here its the absolut best way to use *dm
[21:06] <skinux> I logged out of my primary user account before I logged into this one.
[21:08] <strangr> hi i am getting Bus error (core dumped) whenever i try to browse / in nautilus
[21:08] <strangr> but when i do the same as root i am able to do so
[21:08] <strangr> am facing a similar problem with gedit also
[21:08] <strangr> please help
[21:09] <k1l> strangr: make sure your stuff in your /home belongs to your user
[21:09] <strangr> i have done a chown username -R ~/*
[21:09] <strangr> but no luck
[21:11] <strangr> i am able to browse /home/username without any problems
[21:11] <strangr> k1l ^
[21:12] <rypervenche> strangr: What does this output? "namei -om /home/username"
[21:12] <strangr> rypervenche / seems to be owned by root
[21:13] <strangr> home and username are owned by username
[21:13] <rypervenche> strangr: That's normal, can you please provide us with the output?
[21:13] <Kamaris> does anyone know what the 32bit library package is called now in trusty tahr since ia32-libs is no longer being used?

[21:14] <brian1001> i wondered if someone knew a open source " nurse call" system
[21:15] <strangr> rypervenche any ideas?
[21:16] <rypervenche> strangr: Not really. Try starting nautilus from the terminal and when it crashes, put the output from the terminal into a pastebin.
[21:16] <skinux> I can't find one damn log with info of why desktop background stays black!
[21:17] <strangr> rypervenche all i get is Bus Error (Core Dumped)
[21:18] <strangr> rypervenche similar is the output with gedit
[21:18] <skinux> Which logs do you guys need to help me figure this out? I'll paste whatever you need.
[21:19] <Baako> anyone having issues updating to 14?
[21:19] <Baako> anyone having issues updating to 14?
[21:20] <bekks> Baako: What would happen if someone doeS?
[21:20] <Pessimist> !patience | Baako
[21:20] <Baako> i aint ignored bekks
[21:21] <bekks> Baako: You arent ignored. We just need an actual support question. :)
[21:23] <innocent95> Hi
[21:23] <strangr> also whenever nautilus crashes icons on my desktop disappear
[21:23] <skinux> What does this mean by 'already' and 'unseen'? apport: report /var/crash/_usr_bin_signon-ui.124.crash already exists and unseen, doing nothing to avoid disk usage DoS
[21:23] <Tine> Hello. How can I enable VP9 in Firefox?
[21:23] <innocent95> How to make xchat minimized to tray ?
[21:24] <kostkon> innocent95, what's your problem exactly
[21:25] <innocent95> kostkon, I can't see xchat on the taskbar menu
[21:25] <innocent95> nearby the clock
[21:25] <Tine> I read that VP9 has been enabled in Firefox 28, but in my copy of 29 it's not.
[21:27] <innocent95> kostkon, ?
[21:27] <rypervenche> Tine: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/993426
[21:28] <kostkon> innocent95, what version of ubuntu are you on
[21:28] <innocent95> 12.04
[21:28] <Tine> rypervenche, TU
[21:29] <odife> please any performance between 32bit and 64bit ubuntu? my computer has up to  4gb. I'm currently using 32bit
[21:29] <kostkon> innocent95, good. then install the xchat-indicator package and xchat will then integrate into your messaging menu, the little envelope icon
[21:29] <bekks> odife: Do you have a 64bit CPU?
[21:29] <odife> yes
[21:29] <kostkon> innocent95, you might need to restart xchat after installing that pacakge
[21:29] <bekks> odife: Then there is no reason in not using a 64bit OS.
[21:30] <innocent95> kostkon, ok, the peep sound is not working too
[21:30] <kostkon> innocent95, just select a audio file for it in xchat's prefs
[21:30] <innocent95> kostkon, Do i haveto ?
[21:31] <innocent95> have to*
[21:31] <odife> ok. I have a lot of things installed in my current system. I am afraid of upgrading now
[21:31] <innocent95> kostkon, doesn't it has a  default peep sound ?
[21:31] <bekks> odife: You cant upgrade from 32bit to 64bit. You have to reinstall.
[21:31] <kostkon> innocent95, not anymore on ubuntu
[21:31] <innocent95> kostkon, Thank you very much bro.
[21:32] <odife> ok. Will the software I use in 32bit work in 64?
[21:32] <kostkon> innocent95, np
[21:32] <bekks> odife: The most easy way would be to install the 64bit version of your software.
[21:34] <innocent95> kostkon, can't see it after installing it :) ?
[21:34] <odife> ok. that would mean a lot of download. all the same thanks very much, bekks
[21:34] <innocent95> and restarting xchat
[21:34] <kostkon> innocent95, are you using xchat or xchat-gnome?
[21:35] <innocent95> it's xchat i guess
[21:35] <innocent95> O'h there is something changed
[21:35] <innocent95> in the left hand dock
[21:35] <kostkon> innocent95, it should be like this http://ubuntuone.com/34WXSroBFAGgz9IqdBrKdM
