[12:12] <marx^> is it easy to just using the ubuntu 14.04 install-dvd to make a dual-boot system ? i have destoyed all warez from my windows and waiting for personal files to be synchronized to dropbox, then i'm gonna switch back to ubuntu because i havent played any games in 5 months but left games on my windows partition just to be safe that if i have a desire someday to play games have a windows-system in store for that
[12:13] <marx^> i have one ntfs partition 1TB, so making it smaller is safe today ? and then the dual-boot installation

[12:21] <lrylayf37> i have a question about my OS and people help me in 5 min )
[12:21] <lrylayf37> i have ubuntu 12.10
[12:21] <ikonia> lrylayf37: sadly ubuntu 12.10 is end of life/not supported, the first thing you should look at is upgrading/installing a supported/current version of ubuntu
[12:21] <jackarius86> how do you find out what version you have - if you forgot i mean?
[12:21] <grippentech> Yeah
[12:22] <lrylayf37> but want 14, and i thought that i ll get the 14 version this evening )
[12:22] <grippentech> Look at the wallpapers, thats the easiest way
[12:22] <grippentech> They are themed for the version. Just google the animal there haha
[12:22] <ikonia> jackarius86: the about tab in the desktop or lsb_release -a in the shell
[12:22] <grippentech> Or Terminal your way
[12:23] <grippentech> Are there any Devs on?
[12:23] <jackarius86> 14.04
[12:23] <ikonia> grippentech: just ask your question
[12:23] <lrylayf37> i have ubuntu 12.04 already 2 years
[12:23] <lrylayf37> but yesterday i got update it to 12.10
[12:24] <grippentech> Does anyone have any idea why I can't type on the Intel-GFX channel?
[12:24] <SonikkuAmerica> lrylayf37: 12.10 is no longer supported
[12:24] <jackarius86> i installed the minimal version without knowing too much about linux, now im like a linux boss :P
[12:24] <ikonia> grippentech: that is nothing to do with this channel, #freenode channel can help you
[12:24] <grippentech> It just say Cannot Send To Channel
[12:24] <grippentech> Ok thanks
[12:25] <lrylayf37> jackarius how many years do you use linux? =)
[12:25] <jackarius86> ive used it on and off for about 10 yrs, but only graphical versions
[12:25] <nectarys> How do I get the Skype status icon on the main bar of ubuntu?
[12:26] <lrylayf37> Sonikku i know that 12.10  not supported =) and i want to upgrade it to 14
[12:26] <nectarys> How do I get the Skype status icon on the main bar of ubuntu?
[12:26] <jackarius86> but after customising my own os by using the minimal image (which has been hard work). now i have grown a massive appreciation for the command line
[12:26] <SonikkuAmerica> such code, very cmdline, wow
[12:27] <lrylayf37> nectarys when you starts skype the status icon must be at the top bar
[12:27] <nectarys> lrylayf37, it's not :/
[12:28] <lrylayf37> or you want it and the left bar?
[12:28] <lrylayf37> hmmm
[12:28] <lrylayf37> strange
[12:32] <LordDeath> which package do I have to install if I want to switch from Unity to Gnome Classic?
[12:32] <LordDeath> on 14.04?
[12:33] <btw14> So I installed this new theme, and it turned all terminal windows black
[12:33] <btw14> so I thought to myself, 'that is so racist'
[12:34] <ikonia> then you thought wrong
[12:34] <ikonia> and this channel doesn't care to hear about it
[12:34] <ikonia> if you don't like the theme disable it
[12:34] <philinux> LordDeath;~ install gnome-flashback
[12:34] <philinux> LordDeath;~ then choose the session at login screen
[12:34] <LordDeath> thx
[12:34] <philinux> gnome-session-flashback
[12:35] <marx^> lorddeath: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/04/ubuntu-14-04-classic-gnome-flashback-session
[12:35] <Baako> hi
[12:35] <Baako> i notice when my VPN is connected. I can't use my internet browser
[12:35] <Baako> any ideas why please
[12:35] <philinux> LordDeath;~ ^^^
[12:35] <ikonia> Baako: what are you vpin'ing too ?
[12:35] <marx^> lorddeath: a small article
[12:35] <Baako> '
[12:37] <LordDeath> and the flashback session needs only 50mb of additional packages :)
[12:37] <Baako> ikonia my office network
[12:37] <Baako> i am using ubuntu 13.10 network connections
[12:37] <philinux> LordDeath;~ small indeed
[12:37] <ikonia> Baako: ok, so does your office network need a proxy/authentication to access the web
[12:38] <Baako> in advance i tick use point to point encryption (MPPE)
[12:38] <Baako> ikonia yes
[12:38] <ikonia> Baako: have you configured your browser to use that proxy ?
[12:39] <Baako> ikonia no i haven't.
[12:39] <ikonia> Baako: there is the problem then, you are vpn'd in, which means you are on your office network, all your office network rules apply
[12:39] <Baako> if i do that wouldn't that mean i am broswering the internet usign my office network instead of my own network?
[12:39] <Baako> i see
[12:40] <ikonia> Baako: correct, that's exactly what it means
[12:40] <LordDeath> flashback compiz or flashback metacity?
[12:40] <ikonia> Baako: you have vpn'd into your office -you are on their network, you are part of their network as if you where sat there
[12:41] <LordDeath> ah, metacity if I don't want a 3D desktop
[12:41] <Baako> ikonia so everything i access on my browser will be shown on the records?
[12:41] <nectarys> How do I get the Skype status icon on the main bar of ubuntu?
[12:41] <ikonia> Baako: correct
[12:46] <philinux> LordDeath;~ sounds like you got it sorted?
[12:47] <LordDeath> philinux: yes, it works finde
[12:47] <LordDeath> fine

[13:08] <root____3> hello
[13:14] <nashant> I foolishly removed old kernels while I was still booted into one, removing the newest kernel. How do I reinstall it?
[13:14] <nashant> Found it already
[13:14] <nashant> I think
[13:15] <icesherpa24> Good night  My Linux Ubuntu Brothers & Sisters
[13:16] <sanguisdex> since upgrading to 13.10 my network connection has become intermittent (hard connection), what the best way to log data for trouble shooting)
[13:20] <NukeOverflow> hi guys
[13:25] <NukeOverflow> AJ_Z0 are you from brazil?
[13:25] <cyborgcygnus> Anybody know a good bit of software or method for telling my pc to shutdown at a specific time? I tried gshutdown but it doesn't work
[13:26] <cfhowlett> cyborgcygnus cron
[13:26] <Pa^2> Do I need any other kernels except for the one that is running?
[13:27] <Pa^2> Will Ubuntu update just put them back?
[13:27] <cyborgcygnus> cfhowlett, okay cheers I'll try installing that after upgrades.
[13:27] <cfhowlett> Pa^2 update your kernel for the latest/greatest
[13:27] <cfhowlett> cyborgcygnus cron is already there - tis a command
[13:27] <cfhowlett> !info cron
[13:27] <cfhowlett> Pa^2 "put them back"????
[13:28] <Pa^2> Running the latest and greatest ... I just wanted to know if Ubuntu would get upset since it isn't automatically removing old ones.
[13:28] <cfhowlett> Pa^2 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will get all the latest updates to your ubuntu - including latest kernel
[13:28] <cfhowlett> Pa^2 it's good practice to keep at least ONE old kernel ... just in case.
[13:31] <Pa^2> Thanks
[13:40] <rodney77> hello
[13:40] <rodney77> my text scaling has gone wacky after the most recent round of updates
[13:41] <rodney77> i have a high density screen and had menus and titles scaled up in settings. Then I was prompted to upgrade some packages, rebooted and the text was huge. So I had to downscale everything, making the menu bar tiny and the leading is very short on the submenus.
[13:42] <cyborgcygnus> cfhowlett, Discovered the front end for cron, gnome-schedule, very handy. Just mod it to open with gksudo in front & it will actually work, I tested it/
[13:42] <cfhowlett> cyborgcygnus now, that there is some fine detective work, Lou!
[13:44] <skinux> What does this mean?: update-apt-xapian-index crashed with syntaxerror un unknown(): invalid syntax
[13:52] <Harry_Boss> hi people
[13:57] <Guido1> Has anyone expiriences with the HP ProBook 450 G1 or ThinkPad E540 with (x)ubuntu?
[13:58] <webDev[nodejs]> is the trusty updates repo down? Im apt-get upgrading and I'm getting really slow (as in 0.01kbps) download speeds from http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[13:58] <cyborgcygnus> webDev[nodejs], try another server?
[13:59] <webDev[nodejs]> how do I do that?
[14:00] <cfhowlett> Guido1 no experience but thinkpad's tend to be pretty linux friendly
[14:01] <Guido1> cfhowlett: from one shop in germany i got the replay that they have the expirience of not, but they probaply want to sale windows ...
[14:02] <Guido1> cfhowlett: but i haven't heard anything abouth the hp
[14:04] <XaaT> hi$
[14:05] <XaaT> there is a common issue with PermitRootLogin yes ? i've set it, and restart service, and cannot access root by ssh
[14:05] <cfhowlett> Guido1 HP does have lots of experience with linux and has more than one OEM ubuntu model for sale
[14:07] <Guido1> cfhowlett: so the HP ProBook 450 G1 and ThinkPad E540 are a good choice
[14:08] <cfhowlett> Guido1 personally, I'd prefer the HP but - again - no direct experience with ubuntu on these devices.
[14:09] <madoor> !list
[14:09] <Guido1> cfhowlett: okee, thanks for the indication. can you also give an advice for the coice of an i3 or i5 processor?
[14:09] <madoor> list
[14:09] <hroi> hi
[14:09] <cfhowlett> Guido1 more power.  power GOOD!
[14:09] <cfhowlett> i5 :)
[14:10] <hroi> I need to find the configuration programs on the command line so i can start them in non ubuntu desktop
[14:10] <hroi> this is ubuntu 10.04 btw.
[14:10] <hroi> ohh boy,  really need to start the additional-drivers app inparticular to enable nvidia... not enough just to install the driver on this old ubuntu.
[14:10] <Guido1> cfhowlett: i5 is more expensieve and i heard that it needs more energy so that the battery lests not so long
[14:12] <sanjud> Ubuntu desktop 14.04 LTS, After yesterday update xorg is not working.....
[14:12] <sanjud> I had to reinstall it again
[14:13] <sanjud> Any solution for this kind of crisis?
[14:13] <cfhowlett> Guido1 dell xps 13 developer edition ... take a look
[14:13] <Guido1> cfhowlett: so a diferent laptop
[14:14] <cfhowlett> Guido1 just a suggestion, but it definitely ubuntu friendly
[14:14] <sanjud> I had reinstalled xserver-org but it didnt work
[14:14] <Guido1> cfhowlett: i will have a look
[14:14] <hroi> is it gsettings something... where are the settings programs?
[14:14] <Guido1> thanks
[14:14] <hroi> under /usr/bin?
[14:14] <hroi> so lost here
[14:15] <sanjud> Anybody? Any clue for this?
[14:18] <trp> hey folks
[14:18] <trp> when I run for example grep -r ".test" it returns strings with text as well
[14:18] <trp> how I can make it to return `.test` only
[14:20]  * tcharlss_ en mode homer simpson : «doh!»
[14:20] <bgardner> sanjud: In what way is it not working?  More detail always helps.
[14:20] <sanjud> Sure
[14:20] <charlesburton> trp: what do you mean?  grep is supposed to return a string, do you just want the file or directory name?
[14:21] <trp> yes I want it to return string that matches .test
[14:21] <trp> it includes strings that got test
[14:22] <charlesburton> ah, so you want it to return exactly .test
[14:22] <charlesburton> got it
[14:22] <trp> yep :)
[14:22] <charlesburton> did you try putting an escape in front of the .?
[14:22] <charlesburton> like this?
[14:22] <charlesburton> "\.test"
[14:22] <charlesburton> and try egrep as well
[14:22] <sanjud> First I was unable to get unity after login
[14:22] <charlesburton> it supports regular expressions
[14:23] <sanjud> Bgardener: first I was unable to get unity desktop
[14:24] <charlesburton> you could also try something like this grep -r '^\.test$'
[14:24] <charlesburton> trp: you could also try something like this grep -r '^\.test$'
[14:24] <Nightray> I need some help with installing ubuntu. Could anyone assist me?
[14:24] <cfhowlett> Nightray details...
[14:24] <OerHeks> Nightray, just ask
[14:25] <trp> charlesburton: / helps somewhat but misses some files
[14:25] <trp> ok going to try idea nr 2
[14:25] <sanjud> Bgardener: after installing gnome 3.10 I was unable to get login screen.
[14:40] <bitbandit_> there is a script that calls trim-all in /etc/cron.weekly - it must be this...
[14:40] <Nightray> wilee-nilee: I am chatting from different pc now.
[14:40] <bitbandit_> wilee-nilee, thanks for the link.
[14:40] <Nightray> charlesburton: well. / and /home I think. I have no idea what the other options are
[14:40] <wilee-nilee> Nightray, Cool, you say two partitions is there a boot partition, this is hidden in windows generally?
[14:40] <charlesburton> Nightray, good because that makes sure your files are independent of your distro
[14:40] <Nightray> charlesburton: I know that /swap is needed but I don't know how big it should be
[14:40] <sanjud> Bgardner: second after installing gnome 3.10 unable to get login screen
[14:40] <charlesburton> swap doesn't get mounted
[14:40] <wilee-nilee> bitbandit_, No problem, it gives you a lot to work with, just messing with configs and fstab as suggested,
[14:41] <charlesburton> Nightray, so what you're going to want to do is start the installer and when it gets to the part about partitioning you're going to want the option "manually" or "something else"
[14:41] <charlesburton> I can't remember extactly
[14:41] <charlesburton> in there you're going to find  your 500GB drive
[14:41] <Nightray> wilee-nilee: I have no boot partition as far as I can tell. The isntaller is asking me where to make one
[14:41] <bgardner> sanjud: Gnome 3.10?  I thought you said you just did an update and it died.  What all did you install that resulted in your X issues?
[14:42] <wilee-nilee> charlesburton, If you are not sure, two of are and have been trying to help them. ;)
[14:42] <charlesburton> setup a /boot partition of at least 1GB(ubuntu isn't great about removing old kernels)
[14:42] <charlesburton> a / partition of at least 50GB
[14:42] <charlesburton> and the rest for /home
[14:42] <sanjud> Apt-get install gnome
[14:42] <Nightray> charlesburton: I am on that screen right now. (I am chatting from different device)
[14:43] <sanjud> Bgardner : apt-get install gnome
[14:43] <bitbandit_> wilee-nilee, i think i'll stick with default settings for now...
[14:43] <Nightray> charlesburton: do I need swap?
[14:44] <bgardner> sanjud: Okay, and what do you actually get when you boot?  No X at all?
[14:44] <wilee-nilee> Nightray, there is a limit to the types of partitions so confirm this first, you can make the HD dynamic accidentally and have a really messed up situation that wont run linux.
[14:44] <sanjud> Yes correct
[14:44] <sanjud> Bgardner: yes corect
[14:44] <bgardner> sanjud: So you get a tty?  Can you log in there so we can investigate?
[14:45] <wilee-nilee> charlesburton, Two windows partition plus 3 linux=a dynamic HD
[14:45] <sanjud> Bgardner:  yes I did
[14:45] <charlesburton> No, it doesn't.  It'll make you tag them as extended
[14:45] <charlesburton> there's no such thing as a dynamic HDD
[14:45] <wilee-nilee> charlesburton, Manually you have to make a extendd.
[14:45] <sanjud> Bgardner: Started the gdm,  service gdm restart
[14:46] <charlesburton> msdos partitioning allows for 4 primary partitions
[14:46] <wilee-nilee> charlesburton, Yes there is more than 4 partitions on a msdos is dynamic, if no extended is there, past 3 primaries.
[14:46] <sanjud> Bgardner: output service is running <port>
[14:46] <Nightray> wilee-nilee: How to confirm this?
[14:46] <wilee-nilee> charlesburton, I'm only concerned for the user here.
[14:47] <sanjud> Bgardner: later I tried startx
[14:47] <wilee-nilee> Nightray, I gave you a command to confirm this from the live situation. sudo parted -l
[14:47] <bgardner> sanjud: And what did startx give you?
[14:48] <sanjud> Bgardner: got error unable to proceed /usr/bin/X missing
[14:49] <sanjud> Bgardner: Then I have tried,   apt-get install xserver-xorg-*
[14:49] <wilee-nilee> bitbandit_, Cool, carry on. ;)
[14:50] <sanjud> Bgardner: and restarted gdm
[14:51] <Nightray> charlesburton, wilee-nilee: I will run the installation one more time. Use "try first" and open the chat from the pc I am installing the system. That should be easier to copy and paste resoults of whatever I am doing
[14:51] <bgardner> sanjud: For now, don't worry about gdm so much.  If startx is dying, gdm isn't likely to work any better.  I know you're limited without X, but can you possibly paste the full output from startx?
[14:53] <sanjud> Bgardner: sorry BuDDy as I said I hv reinstalled the OS
[14:54] <charlesburton> wilee-nilee:  Just for clarity you're correct that there is such a thing as a dynamic disk, but that's Microsoft's idea of LVM.  In this case it won't just magically create a dynamic disk.  He does need to mark the 500GB as extended though prior to partitioning anything else
[14:54] <sanjud> Bgardner: I just wanted to know is there was any bug in default updates?
[14:54] <bgardner> sanjud: I'm trying to diagnose a system that doesn't exist anymore?
[14:54] <sanjud> Bgardner: sorry...
[14:55] <bgardner> sanjud: Ah.  Well, I don't know the answer to your question about the updates.  Best of luck.
[14:55] <wilee-nilee> charlesburton, Theoretically it will, however we see people here where the installer fails and makes the disc dynamic, that is my only concern. You seem to know what's up that is great that was my only concern, not to argue. ;)
[14:55] <Nightray> wilee-nilee, charlesburton and I am back
[14:56] <sanjud> Bgardner: thank you for your time, I hope I didnt irrated you with my concernd.
[14:56] <charlesburton> Installer goofiness is definitely a problem sometimes, that I've ran into before
[14:56] <Nightray> wilee-nilee, could you give me this command one more time? Now I can actually use it
[14:56] <bgardner> sanjud: Nope, I'm good.  Just must have misunderstood your issue.  Glad your reinstall got you sorted out.
[14:57] <wilee-nilee> Nightray, Sure sudo parted -l oastebin it and charlesburton is ready to take care of you I think. ;)
[14:57] <wilee-nilee> pastebin*
[14:58] <sanjud> Bgardner: that was my last option after dedicating 2 hours behind it.
[14:59] <wilee-nilee> Nightray, sudo parted -l  the l is a small L
[14:59] <Nightray> wilee-nilee, charlesburton http://pastebin.com/axqyScGq
[15:00] <wilee-nilee> Nightray, Cool, you were right two partitions, I was just concerned we new for sure is all.
[15:00] <wilee-nilee> knew*
[15:01] <charlesburton> So, I'm guessing you're putting Linux on partition 3 of /dev/sdb?
[15:01] <Nightray> yeah. sdb3 becomes linux
[15:03] <wilee-nilee> Nightray, Two on sda, sdb has three, my mistake, carry on you have good help.
[15:03] <daveeejr> i have not been able to re-enable hibernate in the indicator-applet-session menu.  i have modified the policy kit in everyway i can. i am using ubuntu 14.04. pm-hibernate does work from the terminal.  can anyone help with this?
[15:03] <charlesburton> When you get to manual partitioning make all of partition 3 extended
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> daveeejr: what make and model system?
[15:03] <charlesburton> you should be able to right click on it in the box under the little diagram it gives you
[15:03] <daveeejr> ActionParsnip: samsung series 5.
[15:04] <Nightray> charlesburton, you mean Ext4 file system?
[15:04] <charlesburton> No
[15:04] <daveeejr> ActionParsnip: it appeared at one point, but disappeared after an update? or maybe installing something else?
[15:04] <charlesburton> there's an options called wither logical or primary
[15:04] <charlesburton> you want to select logical
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> daveeejr: https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=trusty     may help
[15:04] <Nightray> oh, ok
[15:05] <charlesburton> Sorry, I forgot that they use a different name in the installer
[15:05] <Nightray> but file system should be Ext4 anyway?
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> daveeejr: also be sure you have the latest BIOS
[15:06] <daveeejr> ActionParsnip: doesnt that just affect whether i can hibernate? not whether it shows up in the applet?
[15:06] <ag4ve___2> what's the kernel module to get /proc/config.gz ?
[15:06] <lemon> join #ubuntu-cn
[15:07] <charlesburton> Yes, it's going to be ext4 but make it / and at least 50GB
[15:07] <nashant> Hey, I'm having issues trying to build to v4l drivers. It's complaining about no rule for sit2.o needed by msp3400.o. How do I get it to either fix or ignore this?
[15:07] <charlesburton> this will make it so that you'll have enough to install new programs and whatnot
[15:08] <Nightray> charlesburton, what about swap. Do I need one?
[15:08] <charlesburton> We'll get there
[15:08] <skinux> Is there a better Crash Reporter that allows copying of all crash information?
[15:09] <charlesburton> We'll create swap last, you want that on the outside edge of your disk so that it's the fastest.  How much RAM do you have?
[15:09] <sre-su1> Hi! I'm using Firefox 26.0 on Ubuntu. Recently, I noticed this porblem around bookmarks. Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks gives an empty window. I cannot find what all bookmarks I created. Is there a way to fix it? I'd like to see the entire list of bookmarks
[15:09] <Nightray> 8gb
[15:09] <Nightray> not much, but does the job ;p
[15:10] <charlesburton> That's plenty!
[15:10] <charlesburton> My laptop has half that and it's my main dev box
[15:10] <ircuser12345> hi all I am having problem with my cursor always blinking on 14.01lts
[15:11] <cfhowlett> sre-su1 currently you HAVE no bookmarks so "show all" shows nothing
[15:11] <charlesburton> So here's where you get to have some fun, create another partition(logical) that uses all of the rest of the drive.  Then subtract 8GB from it, mark it as /home and then create it.
[15:11] <sre-su1> cfhowlett: Currently I've lots of bookmarks. Even did a test bookmark, it didn't show up
[15:11] <Nightray> believe me. It is "just" 8gb. If you saw the configuration of my rig you'd say that 8gb is a blasphemy
[15:11] <charlesburton> Finally select the last bit mark that as swap
[15:12] <cfhowlett> sre-su1 weird.  could it be you're running more than one firefox?  run a terminal:   ps -x|grep firefox          then kill -9 each instance.  restart firefox and try again
[15:12] <charlesburton> Then take a screen shot and put that on pastbin
[15:12] <charlesburton> want to see what it looks like before you commit to anything
[15:12] <ircuser12345> ??
[15:13] <daveeejr> i have not been able to re-enable hibernate in the indicator-applet-session menu. i have modified the policy kit in everyway i can. i am using ubuntu 14.04. pm-hibernate does work from the terminal. can anyone help with this?
[15:13] <ircuser12345> cursor problem on 14.01
[15:13] <lotuspsychje> !patience | ircuser12345
[15:13] <cfhowlett> !patience|ircuser12345
[15:13] <Nightray> charlesburton, where do I find device manager on linux?
[15:13] <ircuser12345> thankyou
[15:13] <sre-su1> cfhowlett: I usually have two windows of firefox open, yes. How is that connected?
[15:13] <charlesburton> System Settings
[15:14] <ez1> looking for a good laptop
[15:14] <charlesburton> just type that in the unity bar or click the little gear icon in the top right side of the screen
[15:14] <ez1> of about 1000 eur
[15:14] <ez1> any advice?
[15:14] <Blueskyder> hello
[15:14] <cfhowlett> sre-su1 no need for more than one instance and way less confusing to your system ...
[15:15] <skinux> Where do we find out exactly what information is transmitted when we submit a crash or problem report?
[15:15] <sre-su1> cfhowlett: One active, other a private window
[15:16] <sre-su1> cfhowlett: Once either of the windows bookmarks a page, it will go to a common storage. I don't undersnta how having multiple windows of firefox open affect bookmarks
[15:16] <sre-su1> understand*
[15:17] <cfhowlett> sre-su1 I've already given my best suggestion ... someone else may know more
[15:17] <OerHeks> !hcl | ez1, look here for certifies machines, e don't help finding the right price, join #ubuntu-offtopic for that, or ##hardware
[15:17] <OerHeks> c/e/we
[15:17] <lotuspsychje> sre-su1: why not use firefox 29 updated?
[15:18] <Nightray> charlesburton, how do I upload images to pastebin?
[15:18] <lotuspsychje> Nightray: tinypic
[15:19] <charlesburton> sorry, use imagebin
[15:19] <cfhowlett> Nightray or dropbox
[15:19] <charlesburton> or dropbox
[15:20] <OerHeks> imagebin is vulnerable
[15:20] <alcides> guys, is that possible to force the connection only through vpn? if the vpn is down so... no access?
[15:20] <Nightray> charlesburton, http://oi60.tinypic.com/2lbbzuf.jpg
[15:21] <charlesburton> Lol, I need the picture of your partitioning layout
[15:21] <Moony22> hey
[15:21] <Moony22> I'm quite scared
[15:21] <charlesburton> Nice machine though.
[15:21] <Moony22> I just think I made a messup
[15:21] <Moony22> of a command
[15:22] <Moony22> I just typed dd if=(iso file here)
[15:22] <Nightray> charlesburton, that's why I am telling you that 8gb is a blasphemy here :D
[15:22] <Moony22> and then a lot of info came up
[15:22] <Moony22> I forgot to put the of=
[15:22] <Moony22> What will happen?
[15:22] <OerHeks> Moony22, easy on the enter
[15:23] <charlesburton> yeah, it kinda is
[15:23] <OerHeks> Moony22, we don't know as we don't know the exact command you used
[15:23] <Moony22> OerHeks: I'll try to next time, but what will happen to my computer? If you want the exact command:
[15:23] <andybrine> im wondering if anyone can help. Im running virtualbox with windows xp on and im unable to see my phone via usb. Does anyone know why that is and how i can fix that?
[15:23] <skinux> Looking for help figuring out this application crash: http://pastebin.com/RPKVxnpd
[15:23] <Moony22> dd if=~/Downloads/Kali-linux.iso
[15:24] <OerHeks> Moony22, nothing, as you didn t specify a target.
[15:24] <Moony22> OerHeks: a lot of things came up
[15:24] <cfhowlett> Moony22 also, sadly, kali is not supported here
[15:24] <alcides> guys, is that possible to force the connection only through vpn? if the vpn is down so... no access?
[15:24] <Moony22> cfhowlett: I wasn't asking about kali
[15:24] <Moony22> I was just asking about what the command will do
[15:24] <lotuspsychje> !vpn | alcides
[15:24] <Moony22> in ubuntu
[15:25] <lotuspsychje> Moony22: if you wanna create a boot cd for another Os try unetbootin
[15:25] <lotuspsychje> Moony22: boot usb sorry
[15:26] <mgw> What work well with Ubuntu? I'm looking at the Asus Zenbooks, but wonder if something else might be a better option.
[15:26] <Moony22> lotuspsychje: yeah, I did but it's not really working for me
[15:26] <mgw> ultrabooks
[15:26] <Moony22> I'm pretty sure dd works but it's just that I forgot to add the of= bit
[15:26] <alcides> lotuspsychje no help at all... it is obsolete... Ubuntu 10.04 comes preinstalled with VPN support. what is also true for 14.04, I have it configurated, but when my vpn is down it start to access directly
[15:26] <cfhowlett> mgw dell xps 13 developer edition works 100%
[15:27] <skinux> How do we remove applications that have dpkg errors for remove and purge commands?
[15:27] <MaxFrames> hello
[15:27] <mgw> cfhowlett: thanks, looking at that
[15:27] <MaxFrames> can I forward the whole window manager to windows (xming)? or just single applications?
[15:28] <MaxFrames> the idea is to use x11 forwarding as a replacement for vnc
[15:28] <MaxFrames> so, to actually use the remote linux machine's gui remotely
[15:28] <charlesburton> Nightray, you still there?
[15:28] <potato_farmer> You need something like vnc or nomachine to see the entire desktop.
[15:28] <mgw> cfhowlett: do you know if someone sells without windows installed?
[15:29] <mgw> seems silly to pay for a windows license
[15:29] <potato_farmer> And both are significantly faster than X11 forwarding
[15:29] <cfhowlett> mgw dell xps13 has no windows
[15:29] <Nightray> charlesburton, sorry, phone
[15:29] <Nightray> charlesburton, http://oi61.tinypic.com/20i73nq.jpg
[15:29] <MaxFrames> potato_farmer: my experience with vnc performance has been tragic, hence the quest for alternatives
[15:30] <charlesburton> That looks good man
[15:30] <charlesburton> or gal
[15:30] <maddawg3> you def dont want to do x11 forwarding
[15:30] <charlesburton> and you should be good to go
[15:30] <JonnyDamnnox> hey JO
[15:30] <maddawg3> if vnc performance is bad the x11 is gonna be even worse
[15:30] <Nightray> charlesburton, One thing though: Device for boot loader installation should be changed to /dev/sdb5 right?
[15:30] <JonnyDamnnox> I want to go jogging, should I wear white socks with my black shoes??? I'm not sure :-(
[15:30] <charlesburton> No
[15:30] <maddawg3> MaxFrames, how much bandwidth do you have?
[15:30] <MaxFrames> well, it is fast instead, for single applications
[15:31] <compdoc> xrdp
[15:31] <charlesburton> the bootloader should be installed on either just /dev/sda or /dev/sdb
[15:31] <MaxFrames> maddawg3: 100 Mbps LAN
[15:31] <maddawg3> MaxFrames, in what way is it faster?
[15:31] <Nightray> oh, okay
[15:31] <charlesburton> Whichever one you boot from
[15:31] <maddawg3> 100Mbps should be plenty for VNC... what issues are you having?
[15:31] <Nightray> okay
[15:31] <charlesburton> The reason is that the bootloader lives outside your partitioning
[15:31] <MaxFrames> every which way you can think of. vnc is just unusable, sluggish, almost a slideshow, it's hard to even point and click
[15:32] <MaxFrames> clearly bandwidth is not the culprit
[15:32] <maddawg3> maybe it's problem with the driver vnc uses
[15:32] <MaxFrames> it's vnc from windows (client) to ubuntu (server)
[15:32] <MaxFrames> tried different clients, no joy
[15:32] <maddawg3> ubuntu server?
[15:33] <MaxFrames> ubuntu desktop, lubuntu 14.04 to be precise
[15:33] <maddawg3> oh you mean the server is on ubuntu
[15:33] <maddawg3> so your connecting from winblows to ubuntu
[15:33] <wilee-nilee> JonnyDamnnox, Purple socks if you got'm. ;)
[15:33] <MaxFrames> I mean ubuntu is running the vnc server
[15:33] <maddawg3> i mean windows
[15:33] <maddawg3> excuse me
[15:33] <RaJiL> hi
[15:33] <maddawg3> on a 100mbps you dont really need VNC compression
[15:34] <maddawg3> if you disable that it will probably be faster
[15:34] <Nightray> charlesburton, should I encrypt home?
[15:34] <charlesburton> that's up to you
[15:34] <RaJiL> i upgrade to 14.04 but config changed not saved
[15:34] <JonnyDamnnox> ???
[15:34] <MaxFrames> believe me, I've tried every little setting. vnc is not cutting it. I need a replacement method
[15:34] <charlesburton> if you do you'll take a performance hit
[15:34] <charlesburton> but your data will be safe
[15:34] <charlesburton> if you're not worried about someone stealing your computer I wouldn't worry overly muich
[15:34] <maddawg3> well i use VNC on all my linux boxes and it's near seamless so something is clearly wrong with how you have it set up
[15:35] <maddawg3> alternatives probably wont cut it either
[15:35] <wilee-nilee> RaJiL, Can you detail that more closely? Is what you are seeing in the upgrade or at the end of it before e reboot?
[15:35] <maddawg3> since they are mostly all based on similar technology
[15:35] <wilee-nilee> a*
[15:35] <maddawg3> and X11 forwarding is significantly slower than VNC
[15:35] <maddawg3> by ALOT
[15:36] <maddawg3> thats why peopl;e use things like vnc or rdp
[15:36] <MaxFrames> so what's a fast and secure way to remote desktop from windows to linux bar vnc?
[15:36]  * grobe0ba is running xchat on a headless vps, x11 forwarded to a windows amazon ec2 instance, which he rdp'd to from work
[15:36] <grobe0ba> it's a ludicrous chain of crap
[15:36] <grobe0ba> but it works :D
[15:37] <wilee-nilee> !tmi | grobe0ba
[15:37] <wilee-nilee> ;)
[15:37] <grobe0ba> ubottu, well, i'm bored. i figured i'd share
[15:38] <grobe0ba> oh, great
[15:38] <grobe0ba> that's why i bloody hate talking bots
[15:38] <wilee-nilee> grobe0ba, This is support is all, that just clutters the channel. ;) as you are still doing.
[15:38] <lotuspsychje> !vnc | MaxFrames
[15:38] <grobe0ba> rgr
[15:39] <wilee-nilee> grobe0ba, You can share openly at #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:39] <RaJiL> wilee-nilee, I updated from version 13.10 to 14.04 but some things were not right, such as the keyboard language, now if I change to Spanish, restarting me still set to English
[15:40] <grobe0ba> wilee-nilee, defeats the purpose. just pretend i'm not here. i'll help if i see something interesting later
[15:40] <MaxFrames> lotuspsychje: you may not have read the bit where I said that I have a bucketload of bandwidth and vnc is unusably sluggish
[15:40] <wilee-nilee> RaJiL, Is that the only issue, not one I'm real sure on is all.
[15:41] <yakiza> Hello i am new on ubuntu   where i can find
[15:41] <yakiza>  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia
[15:41] <yakiza>  the first system/administ....
[15:41] <wilee-nilee> grobe0ba, The purpose here is support period. I'm just the to happen to point this out, if you continue others will pile on. ;)
[15:41] <kyometal> hi
[15:41] <mgw> cfhowlett: where do you recommend buying the xps 13 developer?
[15:41] <mgw> And have you upgraded to 14.04?
[15:41] <cfhowlett> mgw I'd buy it directly from Dell ...
[15:41] <niel> yakiza, you are a sys admin?
[15:41] <mgw> It comes with 12.04
[15:42] <lotuspsychje> mgw: alot of machines will run 14.04 even when not all show in certified list
[15:42] <cfhowlett> mgw yeah, I asked the project lead about that ... 12.04 is LTS so is supported through 2017.
[15:42] <OerHeks> yakiza, type driver in dash and the restricted driver tool shows up
[15:42] <mgw> cfhowlett: right, but I'd like to install 14.04
[15:42] <cfhowlett> mgw easily done ...
[15:43] <mgw> I know it's easy…. as long as there're no compatibility issues
[15:43] <cfhowlett> mgw BUT you'd have to manually install the sputnik packages if you needed them
[15:43] <MaxFrames> as for freenx, I read it's abandoned.
[15:43] <lotuspsychje> mgw: another great way is to buy laptop and put ssd inside yourself and install 14.04 on it
[15:43] <mgw> lotuspsychje: which laptop?
[15:44] <kyometal> mgw im in Xubuntu 14.04 and works great
[15:45] <lotuspsychje> mgw: i have acer apsire netbook plugged in samsung evo 120gig ssd, and put 14.04 64bit inside, rocketfast
[15:45] <lotuspsychje> mgw: as i said, many laptops will run trusty fine
[15:46] <lotuspsychje> mgw: i formatted those recently: lenovo, hp, dell acer
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> cfhowlett: could awk the output of ps and kill the PID ;)
[15:47] <mgw> kyometal: which laptop are you running 14.04 on?
[15:47] <kyometal> in a fujitsu a530
[15:47] <cfhowlett> ActionParsnip eh - whut?  you mean for that firefox issue?
[15:47] <kyometal> 64 bits xubuntu version
[15:47] <mgw> is anybody running trusty on a zenbook?
[15:48] <lotuspsychje> mgw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook
[15:49] <mgw> lotuspsychje, isn't that the old edition?
[15:49] <lotuspsychje> mgw: wich type are you looking for exactly>
[15:49] <MaxFrames> I installed x2go which seems to be the current alternative to freenx
[15:49] <MaxFrames> do you know how to start the server?
[15:49] <MaxFrames> or daemon?
[15:50] <lotuspsychje> MaxFrames: can ssh not please your needs?
[15:50] <MaxFrames> no.
[15:50] <mgw> lotuspsychje: I'm looking at the the UX301s, I see the page on the 302s
[15:50] <mgw> but I can't find any 302s for sale
[15:50] <lotuspsychje> MaxFrames: i know its not reccomended for safety here, but teamviewer remote controls aswell
[15:51] <mgw> oh, i think it's just the color 301 vs 302
[15:51] <lotuspsychje> mgw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookUX302
[15:52] <lotuspsychje> mgw: depends on the type really if you gonna have bugs or not
[15:52] <lotuspsychje> mgw: but many things can be solved also
[16:04] <Guest17831> hi
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> charlesburton: what is the system for? if you have 8Gb RAM you may get away with no swap :)
[16:08] <charlesburton> It's actually for someone else, I don't know their workload so I'm having them add swap just in case
[16:09] <charlesburton> I doubt they'll use it, but better safe than sorry
[16:09] <gdt1> 8 gb ram... I have only 2gb :(
[16:11] <charlesburton> 2GB isn't anything to be sad about, unless you have an  intense workload that should be fine for normal usage
[16:12] <denark> hello. when i first installed the newest ubuntu 14, i mispelled my username. how can i change this?
[16:13] <denark> i spelt it as "denark" its supposed to be "denmark" lol
[16:13] <jpedroza2k> I am on 14.04LTS and Chrome is constantly crashing. Dmesg shows the dreaded [drm] stuck on render ring. Forcing Chrome to quit and restarting it works for a while, but this is really annoying. Intel graphics on a core i5 Lenovo laptop.
[16:14] <charlesburton> denark, you'll have to modify the /etc/passwd file as root
[16:14] <trijntje> charlesburton, will that update all file and folder ownership as well?
[16:14] <charlesburton> yes
[16:15] <charlesburton> Folder and file ownership is by UID
[16:15] <trijntje> what about /home/denark?
[16:15] <charlesburton> so as long as you don't change the UID of the user you can change the name all you like
[16:15] <denark> charlesburton: so that is all i do?
[16:15] <charlesburton> ah, you're right there
[16:15] <denark> right. im worried about /home/denark as well
[16:15] <charlesburton> although, the home directory is specified in the /etc/passwd
[16:16] <denark> why dont we have a "change username button" ? lol
[16:16] <trijntje> and I'm also worried about doing that with encrypted home :P
[16:16] <denark> :P home is not encrypted
[16:16] <genii> denark: Simpler:  sudo usermod --home /home/denmark-m --login denmark denark
[16:16] <lotuspsychje> trijntje: have you been able to fix your dash applications freeze?
[16:16] <charlesburton> genii is right
[16:16] <charlesburton> I do things old school
[16:17] <irreverant> can you guys direct printer questions to ##printers
[16:17] <charlesburton> should probably go trim my neckbeard and tighten my suspenders
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> jpedroza2k: have you tested RAM using Memtest86 from Grub?
[16:18] <jpedroza2k> ActionParsnip, I have. This seems to be a known bug in the intel i915 drivers going back as far as 12.04.
[16:18] <trijntje> lotuspsychje, no, it still occurs after reboot, but only once
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> jpedroza2k: tried a non-compoziting session, like xfce or lxde?
[16:19] <shyang> hello
[16:20] <jpedroza2k> ActionParsnip, I have not. That is a good idea.
[16:20] <genquinta> ciao
[16:20] <genquinta> !list
[16:22] <jpedroza2k> ActionParsnip, could I also just turn off the 3d elements of Unity to achieve the same thing?
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> jpedroza2k: Unity is a plugin for Compiz, so you'll still be runningthe WM
[16:27] <michaelaguiar> So I have a vm with Ubuntu 14.04.  Every once and a while when I try to login to phpmyadmin, as soon as I login, there is a red block, and it tells me my session expired, and logs me back out
[16:27] <michaelaguiar> anyone know why?
[16:28] <pksadiq> Xb
[16:31] <garheade> michaelaguiar, first thing i would check is the system clocks.
[16:32] <garheade> are you accessing phpmyadmin from the vm or from another machine and where is the phpmyadmin being hosted? guest, host or remote?
[16:33] <michaelaguiar> I am accessing from my local machine.  and it’s being hosted on the vm host
[16:33] <michaelaguiar> hang on maybe it’s the config I never setup
[16:33] <YatharthROCK> I wanted to lookup what letters like 's', 'm' and 'y' meant in context of Perl expressions like 's///', 'm//' and 'y///'; but my Google-fu didn't work.
[16:33] <YatharthROCK> I wanted to lookup what letters like 's', 'm' and 'y' meant in context of Perl expressions like 's///', 'm//' and 'y///'; but my Google-fu didn't work.
[16:34] <YatharthROCK> What can I search for for more info on them?
[16:34] <YatharthROCK> I know s stands for substitution and m for simply matching. I think you could add a 'g'/'i' to make them case-insensitive.

[16:37] <wilee-nilee> yakiza, Not an area I can help with more that asking if you checked the additional drivers tab in the software and updates tab.
[16:38] <wilee-nilee> than*
[16:38] <yakiza> i already check i think my pc is not reading the card how can  i make the pc read it
[16:39] <wilee-nilee> yakiza, Are you sure the drivers are not installed already? Hows it running and looking?
[16:39] <samthewildone> do I have to install a 64 bit edition on a 64 bit cpu ?
[16:39] <wilee-nilee> samthewildone, nope
[16:39] <genii> Probably should just run jockey and let it suggest a driver.
[16:39] <jaspertheghost> can someone help me figure out how to properly escape this code for a bash shell script… works fine if i echo find ../ and copy and paste into terminal
[16:39] <jaspertheghost> http://pastebin.com/6x0ztQG7
[16:40] <yakiza>  i am really new on ubuntu    when i put the cable on the new graphic card   vga i dont have  image on my screen
[16:40] <michaelaguiar> ok so in my phpmyadmin config, I have a line that checks_file_access, then requires /var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php  — but my admin says I need the secret.  Does this mean I have incorrect access?
[16:41] <samthewildone> wilee-nilee, even if I have 16gb
[16:41] <wilee-nilee> samthewildone, 32 bit runs on a 64 bit platform, the pae kernels read all the memory.
[16:41] <samthewildone> reason for me asking is trying to get java in chrome is nearly impossible
[16:42] <samthewildone> Seems like this is a common problem through the world of linux & java with 64 bit arch.
[16:42] <samthewildone> All I need is to put a simple web plugin in chrome and its impossible.
[16:42] <wilee-nilee> samthewildone, I don;t use chrome, I would address that issue here, rather than a bit change.
[16:43] <samthewildone> Need to able to launch java files within chrome.
[16:43] <OerHeks> samthewildone, openJDK works fine in chrome.
[16:43] <samthewildone> wilee-nilee, I grew up using Mozilla, then Firefox then for the past 4 years chrome has been my weapon of choice.
[16:43] <samthewildone> OerHeks, I used it but, still no luck
[16:43] <michaelaguiar> What are the correct file permissions for /var/lib/phpmyadmin/blowfish_secret.inc.php
[16:44] <wilee-nilee> samthewildone, I have no problem with it, it is installed, just rarely use it is all.
[16:47] <nico103> hi
[16:47] <YatharthROCK> wilee-nilee: Thanks.
[16:47] <nico103> I created a new VM yesterday, but I screwed up: I made its disk too small, and I enabled lvm and encryption
[16:47] <nico103> would it be easier to correct this by re-installing?
[16:48] <nico103> or is there a simple and reliable way to move everything to a new disk?
[16:48] <nico103> (then reboot into it and drop the lv)
[16:50] <wilee-nilee> YatharthROCK, No problem, I hoped that would at the least help.
[16:52] <ary_wibowo> test
[16:52] <SonikkuAmerica> ary_wibowo: You failed. :D

[17:02] <NGC982> Evening.
[17:02] <NGC982> I'm trying to get information trough applications running in a screen, from outside the screen.
[17:02] <NGC982> I found out about the "stuff" command, and i tried this: "screen -x irc -X stuff "$1^M""
[17:03] <NGC982> It works, but it does not seem to simulate "enter" properly.
[17:03] <grimeton> NGC982: use tmux
[17:03] <grimeton> NGC982: and look into expect if you want to script output of other commands
[17:04] <NGC982> The $1 thing is not relevant. It might just as well be text.
[17:04] <NGC982> Allright, ill try it.
[17:04] <NGC982> Does Tmux support the same syntax?
[17:04] <grimeton> you're trying to connect to the same screen session again, don't you?
[17:04] <grimeton> tmux has the easier syntax
[17:05] <grimeton> if screen is the truth, then tmux is the light
[17:05] <NGC982> Oh, yes.
[17:07] <akshay2000> exit
[17:12] <samthewildone> still no progress
[17:13] <samthewildone> java is installed but not web support
[17:13] <samthewildone> http://pastebin.com/3iWG7SnU
[17:13] <samthewildone> it is installed but cannot get it to open java web pages
[17:14] <samthewildone> also I followed this guide http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-JRE-on-Ubuntu-Linux
[17:14] <trism> samthewildone: you cannot use java with chrome/chromium anymore, npapi plugins are disabled
[17:15] <samthewildone> well how do i enable it ?
[17:15] <trism> samthewildone: you can't, you have to use firefox or some other browser
[17:15] <samthewildone> fuck this... back to windows
[17:16] <NGC982> grimeton: This seems to be way over my level.
[17:17] <grimeton> NGC982: ?
[17:17] <grimeton> the hotkeys of tmux are the same, they all begin with C-b instead of C-a
[17:17] <grimeton> but tmux is scriptable
[17:17] <NGC982> I barely know how to split the window. ;-)
[17:17] <NGC982> But yeah, ill look into it
[17:18] <grimeton> C-b %
[17:19] <jaspertheghost> can someone help me figure out how to properly escape this code for a bash shell script… works fine if i echo find ../ and copy and paste into terminal  : http://pastebin.com/6x0ztQG7
[17:19] <ukesh> hey
[17:20] <genii> jaspertheghost: You might have better luck in #bash channel
[17:22] <z23891> sup
[17:25] <nashant> how do I run a make against a different kernel?
[17:26] <dirtydaw2> hello all
[17:28] <dirtydaw2> can anyone help me with a live boot question ?
[17:28] <NGC982> grimeton: I cannot seem to find any documentation on simply using tmux for sending to screen stdin. And since you write "scriptable" i assume i need to modify tmux for my uses.
[17:29] <grimeton> NGC982: you have to drop screen and use only tmux
[17:29] <grimeton> and then read the tmux manual page
[17:30] <dirtydaw2> how do you boot up the gui for ubuntu from termial? command i require please
[17:30] <wheatthin> dirtydaw2, which ubuntu version do you have installed?
[17:31] <wheatthin> dirtydaw2, for regular ubuntu with unity,   sudo service lightdm start
[17:32] <NGC982> grimeton: Simply using a hotkey does not help me.
[17:32] <grimeton> NGC982: maybe i don't understand what you're trying todo
[17:33] <NGC982> My intentions are to be able to send commands into anything that is running inside a screen, with command line.
[17:33] <NGC982> I will for instance execute commands and write stuff on IRC via Tasker profiles (on an Android device that can send SSH commands).
[17:34] <NGC982> I have already solved the SSH command part, and the "send to screen" part (with the function i first stated as "stuff"). Although, i cannot get it to simulate enter properly.
[17:34] <grimeton> NGC982: tmux send-keys -t your-serssion here -l somethingsomething
[17:35] <NGC982> I thought so, i just read about keys but was a bit fuzzy on what a "key" was.
[17:35] <NGC982> Let's try it.
[17:40] <NGC982> Hm, it does not seem to know what -l is.
[17:40] <NGC982> Isn't it simply easier to just solve the ^M issue with screen?
[17:41] <grimeton> NGC982: yeah, but i can't help you with that
[17:41] <grimeton> what tmux version are you running?
[17:42] <NGC982> How do i find out? -v doesn't seem to do anything.
[17:42] <grimeton> just tried
[17:42] <grimeton> works perfect
[17:42] <NGC982> Aight.
[17:42] <marx^> installing 14.04 currently, resized ntfs partition and now i'm creating ext4 partition so do i make it primary or logical ?
[17:42] <grimeton> NGC982: tmux -V
[17:42] <NGC982> ah
[17:42] <NGC982> 1.6.
[17:42] <grimeton> NGC982: i'm running 1.9
[17:43] <grimeton> -l does disable special key lookups
[17:43] <NGC982> Oh, let's start by updating then. :-)
[17:43] <grimeton> leave it away
[17:43] <grimeton> special key lookups turns e.g. "Enter" into the \n you need
[17:43] <grimeton> so you do something like this: tmux send-keys -t 0 -l ls && tmux send-keys -t 0 Enter
[17:43] <whoever> hi all, dos 14.04 support trimming(ssd) for do i need to cron it ? because if I enable discard in fstab  it will unessisaryly r/w the drive each deletion no matter how small
[17:43] <marx^> what is the difference between logical and primary partition ?
[17:44] <NGC982> grimeton: I see.
[17:44] <grimeton> marx^: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning
[17:44] <whoever> marx^: www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linuxquestions.org%2Fquestions%2Flinux-software-2%2Fprimary-or-logical-partition-7582%2F&ei=-_2RU8nhOIqVqAaIy4H4BQ&usg=AFQjCNE1Yxhbpdbk4EX0w4tAC-Wq5AdFxg&bvm=bv.68445247,d.b2k
[17:45] <marx^> grimeton: i got only irssi now on my terminal-machine and so browsing is quite difficult
[17:45] <jcstarken> dlna or what ever is the best for 12.04 so I can see it on my vizo tv thank you
[17:45] <marx^> grimeton: it would be third partition
[17:45] <grimeton> jcstarken: marx^ i'm not going to explain this to you
[17:45] <grimeton> install lynx and read it
[17:46] <marx^> i'm gonna just go with logical
[17:47] <grimeton> jcstarken: look into avahi and stuff
[17:47] <whoever> grimeton: one is a partition , the other is a partition with in a partition
[17:48] <whoever> grimeton: soory
[17:48] <whoever> marx^: one is a partition , the other is a partition with in a partition
[17:48] <NGC982> grimeton: I cannot seem to find the -t flag in the man file. Is that the PID of the screen session?
[17:48] <grimeton> NGC982: it's the session's id or name, tmux ls
[17:48] <NGC982> I'm having issues getting the C-b commands to work, but i think that i a local problem.
[17:48] <NSA_LA_POLISSE> Coucou tous le monde
[17:48] <NGC982> grimeton: Aight.
[17:48] <grimeton> NGC982: C-b usually is ctrl-b
[17:49] <NGC982> "failed to connect to server: Connection refused" on ls. :>
[17:49] <NGC982> Yes, i know.
[17:49] <grimeton> NGC982: is a server running?
[17:49] <NGC982> Doesn't seem so.
[17:49] <NGC982> :D
[17:49] <NSA_LA_POLISSE> you like windows serveur 2012 ?
[17:49] <grimeton> yeah and if, maybe you need to restart it as 1.9 instead of using an old 1.6
[17:49] <NSA_LA_POLISSE> i think is the best system serveur i had ever seen
[17:50] <NSA_LA_POLISSE> nobody ?
[17:50] <bazhang> NSA_LA_POLISSE, offtopic here
[17:51] <NSA_LA_POLISSE> :)
[17:51] <jcstarken> is there an ubuntu channel for dummies
[17:52] <grimeton> jcstarken: welcome to the club
[17:52] <Schnabeltierchen> hrhrhr ^^
[17:52] <jcstarken> grimeton: thank you for your responses
[17:53] <NGC982> grimeton: I got the server stuff working.
[17:54] <grimeton> NGC982: awesome
[17:54] <grimeton> NGC982: if you don't use -l you can do this: tmux send-keys -t 0 ls Enter
[17:55] <dirtydaw1> hello again sorry for dc using version 12.10 whats the command to load up the gui from terminal
[17:56] <grimeton> dirtydaw1: startx (if installed)
[17:57] <grimeton> dirtydaw1: or fire up lightdm
[17:57] <hakermania> Hey ubuntuers! Care to do some bug testing for Wallch? Get these Debs and hunt for bugs :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/7603171/
[17:57] <grimeton> dirtydaw1: service lightdm start
[17:57] <dirtydaw1> tyvm
[17:58] <NGC982> grimeton: -l is not recogniced, and running it without it sends the correct text, echo's it (as it should) but -also- tries to execute it as a command.
[17:58] <NGC982> oh wait
[17:58] <NGC982> No
[17:58] <NGC982> Sorry.
[17:58] <NGC982> It's absolutely right.
[17:58] <NGC982> :D
[17:58] <grimeton> NGC982: yeah, that's what happens if you send stuff to stdin of a program
[17:59] <NGC982> Well, let's see if this works then. My irssi client is open in tmux "0" window. Let's open up putty and execute it.
[17:59]  * NGC982 tries.
[17:59] <grimeton> tmux is not loop safe
[17:59] <grimeton> so beware
[18:00] <nico103> neither is (was) getty
[18:00] <nico103> ;)
[18:02] <quadHelix> Anybody experienced Spotify "losing" the menu bar icons in 14.04?

[18:02] <NGC982> Hello!
[18:02] <quadHelix> I am using cairo-dock
[18:02] <NGC982> EurekaItworks!
[18:02] <michaelaguiar> the import file is as small as it can be, 1 table with no data, and 2 fields to test
[18:02] <grimeton> NGC982: see, tmux, 15 minutes, working
[18:03] <michaelaguiar> still get the file size exceeded error
[18:03] <grimeton> NGC982: that's the force luke, that's the force
[18:03] <NGC982> grimeton: Thanks a bunch.
[18:03] <NGC982> grimeton: Though, how do i make more than one word? "" doesn't seem to be accepted.
[18:03] <NGC982> "kruger@kruger:~$ tmux send-keys -t 0 "Eureka It works!" Enter"
[18:03] <grimeton> NGC982: the problem is the !
[18:03] <grimeton> it's interpreted by the shell
[18:05] <NGC982> Ah, i see. Can any given line of text be achieved in some way?
[18:05] <grimeton> NGC982: tmux send-keys -t 0 echo Eureka\ it\ works\ \! Enter
[18:05] <grimeton> eeer missed the \ after echo
[18:05] <grimeton> NGC982: tmux send-keys -t 0 echo\ Eureka\ it\ works\ \! Enter
[18:05] <grimeton> but none after the !
[18:05] <NGC982> And the contents of a text file?
[18:06] <NGC982> That would actually be easier, if possible.
[18:06] <grimeton> NGC982: seriously? I'd get the pid of the process and then use the processes FD
[18:06] <grimeton> NGC982: cat /dev/urandom > /proc/$PID/fd/0

[18:36] <fellayaboy> hey it seems when i reboot ubuntu 14.04 desktop that my iptables settings dont get saved.  if i input the commands again my iptables work fine. but it happens all the time when i reboot
[18:37] <charlesburton> You have to run iptables-save to write them out
[18:37] <charlesburton> if you put iptables rules in manually they're only memory resident
[18:37] <fellayaboy> wow. and this will restore automatically
[18:38] <fellayaboy> oh that makes sense. how do i restore them automatically during reboot.
[18:38] <charlesburton> it'll do it on it's own
[18:38] <charlesburton> you just have to run the save command so they're saved in the configuration file
[18:38] <tuhin> how can i make a partition in ububtu
[18:38] <charlesburton> that's read at boot
[18:38] <tuhin> plz help
[18:39] <fellayaboy> how do i delete iptables configuration then
[18:39] <tuhin> help me plz
[18:39] <charlesburton> you have to edit the file and remove the rules
[18:39] <charlesburton> I don't remember off the top of my head where the file is
[18:39] <fellayaboy> um which file is that by the way
[18:39] <charlesburton> just a second, I'll find it

[18:40] <jdsdsa> I need help writing a script. The script is supposed to ask the user which directory they would like a listing of, which directory the would like the output to be stored in, and the name of the outputfile
[18:41] <Charlie> And what's that script supposed to do?
[18:41] <Charlie> Nvm
[18:41] <Charlie> My bad
[18:41] <ifthenelse> I am running Ubuntu 14.04 on a server. I have a weird error were after a little bit, the header of the windows will get clear vertical lines, then the text will get weird, then more graphical glitches occur, then the screen freezes and I can't move the mouse. I can, however, ssh in and work over the terminal. What is wrong and how can I fix it?
[18:41] <Charlie> Just write those commands in a shell script? Easy as heck
[18:42] <ifthenelse> Do I need proprietary drivers?
[18:43] <jayar> i'm dual booting winxp and ubuntu, ethernet was working, now it connects, but doesnt get an address. works fine in windows
[18:43] <Charlie> ifthenelse: Something's wrong with the cable or the board itself. I've seen it happen two or three times, was always a hardware fault
[18:43] <jayar> if i plug usb/ethernet i get an address and connect (i'm connected to that now)
[18:43] <ifthenelse> When I restarted with "REISUB", it gave me an error when I logged back in that "Xorg" is problemed
[18:43] <Charlie> ifthenelse: What does dmesg say?

[18:48] <tuhin> thanks ppl
[18:48] <tuhin> thanks ubottu
[18:49] <ifthenelse> Charlie: I don't see any errors in dmesg and Xorg.0.log except for no input driver specified for some things
[18:50] <ifthenelse> Charlie: I'm just going to use proprietary drivers and see if that helps
[18:50] <Charlie> Xorg input drivers can be installed with apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all
[18:50] <Charlie> But that has nothing to do with video being crapped out
[18:51] <Charlie> What's the video hardware on your system?

[18:52] <Charlie> hm, do you need it on a server? might as well unplug it and run it on onboard?
[18:52] <Charlie> Headless rather ..
[18:53] <ifthenelse> Charlie: I always use it headless so it didn't bother me, but my co-workers will probably complain
[18:53] <Charlie> Ah, I know that feeling, might as well try the blobs, I doubt it's that though
[18:53] <ifthenelse> Charlie: xserver-xorg-input-all is already installed
[18:53] <Charlie> noveuo is decent enough for a card that old imo, should be hardware

[18:54] <ifthenelse> Charlie: HDMI/DP, PCH nothing important
[18:55] <tuhin> but i hav installed ubuntu first
[18:55] <Schnabeltierchen> that´s bad...
[18:55] <tuhin> what to do/
[18:55] <genii> tuhin: The normal method is to have windows installed first, then make a CD/DVD of the Ubuntu you want to install and boot up to that and then follow the install instructions
[18:55] <tuhin> help me
[18:55] <wilee-nilee> Schnabeltierchen, Don't generalize without knowing more.
[18:55] <ifthenelse> Charlie: It *seems* to correlate when I open firefox
[18:55] <Charlie> tuhin: Find an empty partition or add another disk, install windows, reconfigure grub.
[18:56] <ifthenelse> I feel like I really should install the proprietary drivers first and if I still have the problem then revert back
[18:56] <ifthenelse> ...
[18:56] <tuhin> there is no empty partition more than 1 mb
[18:56] <tuhin> only one 460gb
[18:56] <wilee-nilee> tuhin, In ubuntu run sudo parted - l and pastebin it.
[18:56] <tuhin> but i am not able to resize it
[18:56] <wilee-nilee> sudo parted -ltuhin
[18:56] <Schnabeltierchen> wilee-nilee don´t assume my knoweldge be few about dualboot...
[18:56] <Charlie> Sounds fair enough ifthenelse
[18:57] <tuhin> sudo parted?
[18:57] <tuhin> app?
[18:57] <ifthenelse> Charlie: Thanks for your help! If it blows up again you'll probably see me in here complaining
[18:57] <Schnabeltierchen> all my machines have win 7/ubuntu dual boot.... but without knowing anything, better insult the others first...
[18:57] <wilee-nilee> Schnabeltierchen, I'm not here to argue but just saying it is bad is not good help.
[18:57] <Charlie> Cheers mate ;)
[18:58] <wilee-nilee> Schnabeltierchen, You are insulted as you response is one of defense rather than thinking, no insult intended.
[18:58] <Charlie> Ladies, calm yo nipples.
[18:59] <Schnabeltierchen> allready sent him to ignore list, my time is too valuable to be wasted with him....
[18:59] <Charlie> tuhin: type this without the "" - "sudo fdisk -l"
[18:59] <wilee-nilee> Schnabeltierchen, Cool I will do the same for you, peace. ;)
[18:59] <Charlie> and copy paste what you see here
[19:00] <wilee-nilee> Charlie, That is to big should be pastebinned
[19:00] <tuhin> ok
[19:00] <Charlie> Well I thought people would have the common sense to do that if needed
[19:00] <Charlie> But alright, tuhin if it's more than 2 or 3 lines put on pastebin.com and link it here
[19:01] <wilee-nilee> Charlie, I already suggested this as well, and your off topic comments are just inane.
[19:01] <Charlie> My bad then, wanna put me on ignore too?
[19:02] <r3v3rb> hi all
[19:04] <wilee-nilee> r3v3rb, You have a support issue for the channel?
[19:04] <r3v3rb> if I have a user www-data on two servers that are owners of /var/www/xyz/ and below how can I get scp or rsync to copy files between the two servers ( both on a prvate network so no ssh necessary )
[19:04] <r3v3rb> wilee-nilee: ^^
[19:04] <wilee-nilee> r3v3rb, Thanks beyond my help.
[19:05] <charlesburton> Do you want to automate that?
[19:05] <r3v3rb> when I try with scp -rpC /var/www/xyz/ www-data@private.network:/var/www/xyz
[19:05] <r3v3rb> i get permission errors
[19:05] <r3v3rb> charlesburton: eventually
[19:05] <charlesburton> can you type this "grep www-data /etc/passwd"?
[19:05] <r3v3rb> sure
[19:06]  * t0nn1
[19:06] <charlesburton> it should only be one line so you can put it here
[19:06] <r3v3rb> www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/usr/sbin/nologin
[19:07] <charlesburton> That's why
[19:07] <charlesburton> www-data has a nologin shell
[19:07] <charlesburton> that means that it's not allowed to actually login
[19:07] <r3v3rb> is that easy to change?
[19:07] <charlesburton> well, you don't really want to
[19:07] <charlesburton> I'm assuming these are for webservers right?
[19:07] <r3v3rb> charlesburton: correct
[19:07] <charlesburton> Ok
[19:07] <r3v3rb> in an azure lamp stack
[19:08] <charlesburton> Ah, ok
[19:08] <r3v3rb> so the private network is the lamp availability set and load balancer
[19:08] <charlesburton> having the www-data user able to login is a huge security risk and should be avoided
[19:08] <r3v3rb> hideous and I already hate my client
[19:08] <charlesburton> try running that same command as root, the -p option should preserve permissions
[19:08] <r3v3rb> charlesburton: sure
[19:08] <mystronyx> Is it conceivable to install ubuntu onto an external usb hard drive and then use that drive on various computers? Or am I better off sticking with one computer and installing Ubuntu onto its internal hard drive?
[19:08] <wilee-nilee> mystronyx, Yes, I would use a flash stick though.
[19:09] <charlesburton> if that doesn't work I can maybe craft you a tar command that should do the trick
[19:09] <wilee-nilee> will run relatively slow even if usb 3 however mystronyx
[19:10] <mystronyx> wilee-nilee oh really. Ok. Because I was thinking of recording music. Perhaps that would run slowly via USB.
[19:10] <r3v3rb> charlesburton: only problem is that root password is not known in an azure VM
[19:10] <charlesburton> ah
[19:10] <Glorfindel> How does one kill a process?
[19:10] <charlesburton> do you have sudo access?
[19:10] <r3v3rb> charlesburton: yes
[19:10] <wilee-nilee> mystronyx, Internal HD and external just have different read write speeds is all
[19:10] <charlesburton> hmmmm, that's still tricky though
[19:11] <mystronyx> wilee-nilee yeah. Is there a reason to recommend a usb stick over an externally powered usb drive?
[19:11] <r3v3rb> charlesburton: it’s like M$ have made life deliberately difficult by not passing the root user to the VM ;)
[19:12] <Glorfindel> Anyone?
[19:12] <Sigurd> Glorfindel: man kill
[19:12] <charlesburton> Yeah, that makes it a little harder
[19:12] <wilee-nilee> mystronyx, Theoretically it should run faster internally, however quality of either is a variable.
[19:12] <charlesburton> let me make a tar command that might work
[19:13] <genii> Glorfindel: Usually something like ps aux    to find the PID then kill <PID>
[19:13] <mystronyx> wilee-nilee ok I see. Thanks
[19:13] <wilee-nilee> mystronyx, I would use a SSD if that was an option
[19:13] <mystronyx> wilee-nilee yeah I agree.
[19:13] <charlesburton> Ok, here we go.  I recommend testing this on something benign first
[19:14] <Glorfindel> @Sigurd: what is the vt command? @genii: ps aux shows a process list?
[19:15] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, sorry. Don't understand your question about "vt".
[19:15] <Glorfindel> Virtual Terminal
[19:15] <Glorfindel> crtl+alt+F1
[19:16] <genii> Glorfindel: Use something like ps aux | grep <offending-process-name>  ... then the list will be shorter. Then look at the number in the second column and use that for the kill command
[19:16] <genii> Those are consoles.
[19:16] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, the command is "kill". You get the process ID with "ps aux". Just as genii said.
[19:16] <charlesburton> sudo tar zcvf - /var/www/xyz/ | ssh <userthatcanlogin>@server (cd /var/www/xyz/ && sudo tar xvzf -)
[19:16] <OerHeks> ctrl alt t - terminal
[19:16] <scrubfest> What is the difference between backtrack and kali? And which should I use (I'm a newbie, looking to learn how to use the tools they contain) [Probably the wrong channel to ask this in? ]
[19:17] <charlesburton> seriously though try that on something safe first
[19:17] <charlesburton> like something you're not worried about blowing up
[19:17] <wilee-nilee> scrubfest, Neither supported here ask them. ;)
[19:17] <OerHeks> scrubfest, those are unsupported, i give one clue: backtrack is discontinued
[19:17] <daftykins> scrubfest: neither have anything to do with ubuntu, you will need to find their respective support channels
[19:17] <r3v3rb> charlesburton:
[19:17] <robotdevil> is front panel audio and rear panel audio switching not supported out of the box
[19:17] <r3v3rb> thanks will try
[19:17]  * genii slides daftykins a tasty cookie
[19:17] <daftykins> :D
[19:17]  * daftykins slides genii a coffee in return
[19:18] <scrubfest> I figured, thanks anyway :)
[19:18]  * genii sips
[19:18] <n-st> hi, i've got a problem with `grub-update`: it reports "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/dev/sdb2'." — which isn't surprising, since /dev/sdb2 no longer exists. how can i make grub-update/grub-probe aware of that?
[19:18] <daftykins> n-st: perhaps you've not updated your /etc/fstab
[19:19] <n-st> daftykins: /dev/sdb2 never was in the fstab and it only uses UUIDs, so that shouldn't cause the problem
[19:19] <robotdevil> as in do the speakers cut out when you plugin in headphones
[19:19] <redy> Hi , how i can upgrade ubuntu 14.04 beta to ubuntu 14.04 final ?
[19:19] <daftykins> n-st: shouldn't, but it was #1 place to look, ok nm
[19:20] <charlesburton> redy a simple dist-upgrade should do the trick
[19:21] <redy> dist-upgrade ? I must run it from terminal ?
[19:21] <daftykins> redy: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:21] <charlesburton> Honestly if you just update it as per normal you should be on the final anyway
[19:21] <charlesburton> the repos are the same
[19:21] <Glorfindel> @genii: ok I didn't know :) do you know what the FireFox process would be called?
[19:22] <r3v3rb> charlesburton: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[19:22] <genii> n-st: I'd probably ( very carefully ) edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg menuentries that refer to the UUID of the now-gone sdb
[19:22] <charlesburton> hgrm
[19:22] <charlesburton> ok
[19:22] <genii> Glorfindel: Probably just: firefox
[19:23] <r3v3rb> hgrm?
[19:23] <charlesburton> try just taking out the parans
[19:23] <redy> Ok thanks , Dose anyone know ffmpeg remove from official repo on ubuntu 14.04 ?
[19:23] <n-st> genii: there arent' any :)
[19:23] <charlesburton> I sometimes get my different shells mixed up
[19:23] <n-st> s/:)/:(/
[19:24] <genii> redy: avconv is used now by default, but ffmpeg can still be installed
[19:24] <r3v3rb> charlesburton: :D this is a bash shell afaik
[19:24] <Glorfindel> @genii: I don't see any firefox process and yet when I try to open ff it claims that it is already open and not responding. Any suggestions?
[19:25] <charlesburton> probably, but haven't had to craft a command like that since I was using csh
[19:25] <genii> Very odd. I used to get a similar message with a card reader when no card in it but driver was loaded
[19:25] <n-st> some background that might help: i copied my system from an old ssd to a new one, grub broke, so i chroot'ed into my rootfs and ran grub-install and grub-update. /dev/sdb probably was the usb stick with the live distro at that time, but i'm not entirely sure
[19:25] <r3v3rb> hmm, time to go play with family and leave this until next week (or tomorrow if I’m feeling sadistic)
[19:26] <charlesburton> Good luck
[19:26] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, maybe firefox uses a lockfile then?
[19:26] <r3v3rb> charlesburton: thanks
[19:26] <n-st> and it doesn't show up in the grub menu, so i'm stumped as to where grub-probe is getting it from…
[19:26] <charlesburton> If I'm still here on Monday please let me know
[19:26] <r3v3rb> will do
[19:26] <Glorfindel> What is that Sigurd?
[19:26] <r3v3rb> night all
[19:27] <n-st> Glorfindel: when firefox starts, it creates a file in the profile directory you're using, so no other firefox instance will use it (to avoid issues)
[19:27] <wilee-nilee> Glorfindel, try killall firefox in the cli
[19:28] <n-st> when it doesn't terminate cleanly, the lock file might remain there and firefox will assume that another instance is still running and it therefore must not use the profile directory
[19:28] <Glorfindel> ok, it said no process found
[19:29] <wilee-nilee> !booinfo | n-st run this ans pastebin the output script
[19:29] <wilee-nilee> !bootinfo | n-st run this ans pastebin the output script
[19:29] <genii> Glorfindel: Maybe try from in X but in xsession: firefox -no-remote
[19:29] <genii> ( this prevents it from attaching to a running copy some other place)
[19:30] <jackarg> !find  libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4
[19:30] <jackarg> !help
[19:31] <wilee-nilee> jackarg, Give details and don't cry help.
[19:31] <jackarg> eh, I meant to do /help
[19:31] <jackarg> to see a list of commands
[19:31] <wilee-nilee> jackarg, Cool, http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu&search=wifi&order=name%20ASC&page=0
[19:32] <jackarg> thanks
[19:32] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, I think the file is ".mozilla/firefox/*/lock". Try renaming it.
[19:33] <Glorfindel> I'm sorry, but I have know idea what you are talking about with xsession and cli :) I installed linux for the first time a week ago
[19:33] <jackarg> what's the channel for ubuntu bots again?
[19:34] <Glorfindel> Sigurd, what folder would that be under?
[19:34] <jackarg> ok, hi there, I'm getting this error when trying to do optirun on some games: You appear to have OpenGL 1.4.0, but we need at least 2.0.0! Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'! Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.
[19:34] <jackarg> anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[19:35] <n-st> wilee-nilee: http://pastebin.com/qzY0pmyh
[19:35] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, "home/your_username/.mozilla/firefox/*/"
[19:35] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, If you use the filemanager you will need to enable "show hidden files", or similar option.
[19:36] <redy> I use before ubuntu 14.04 beta . Smplayer dosen't work . Mplayer is too . Please see log of these
[19:36] <redy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7603717/
[19:37] <redy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7603728/
[19:37] <Glorfindel> ok Sigurd, found it. Delete it or just rename it?
[19:37] <OerHeks> redy, upgrade, as the beta packages can be updated by now.
[19:37] <redy> For this problem i left ubuntu to open suse
[19:37] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, just open up a terminal (Ctrl-Alt_T) and type exactly "rm .mozilla/firefox/*/lock". Then try starting firefox again.
[19:38] <OerHeks> redy,  no use for fixing bugs in past packages, is it?
[19:38] <charlesburton> jackarg, what videocard do you have?
[19:38] <charlesburton> it looks like you need the proprietary driver
[19:38] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, try renaming first. IGNORE my last message.
[19:38] <charlesburton> and your version of OpenGL is really really old
[19:38] <Glorfindel> Ok :)
[19:39] <wilee-nilee> n-st, I assume ubuntu is on sdb a btrfs, I'm not up on that file system, but it has no bootloader in it's mbr, grub is in the sda mbr. I wonder if it is a read problem, with that file system and 3 terabytes in size?
[19:39] <jackarg> charlesburton: my graphics card is an Nvidia geforce 710M. Then I guess I should just update my opengl? It shouldn't be that old though
[19:39] <wilee-nilee> n-st, Doh I missed the sda2 is ubuntu
[19:39] <Glorfindel> Sigurd, rename is greyed out, do your previous command?
[19:39] <charlesburton> jackarg, oh you just need to install the Nvidia proprietary driver
[19:40] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, yes
[19:40] <jackarg> charlesburton: nono, I have two cards. the default one is an intel something, and I use bumblebee when playing games
[19:40] <charlesburton> jackarg https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[19:40] <Jordan_U> n-st: Please pastebin the contents of /proc/self/mounts and /proc/self/mountinfo .
[19:41] <blizzow> The intel 7260 wireless centrino card is hosed.  I keep deauthenticating and re-authenticating to my wireless network with this thing.  I've tried upgrading the firmware to iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode in /lib/firmware and get no joy.    I've also tried the *-9.ucode and that's even worse.  I tried an apt-get update and dist-upgrade a few minutes ago just to make sure I'm at the latest and greatest.  Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
[19:41] <jackarg> charlesburton: optirun is my thing it's just that I've been getting all these errors recently
[19:41] <wilee-nilee> n-st, I see Jordan_U is here so there is better help there. ;)
[19:42] <charlesburton> Ah, I don't know then
[19:42] <charlesburton> I've never messed with Optimus
[19:42] <n-st> Jordan_U: /proc/self/mounts contains "/dev/sdb2 / btrfs rw,relatime,ssd,space_cache 0 0" — that's just plain wrong!
[19:42] <n-st> oh.
[19:42] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, any luck?
[19:42] <n-st> probably a remainder of the uuid clash i had earlier
[19:42] <jackarg> charlesburton: just, is there any way to update opengl?
[19:42] <Glorfindel> Sigurd, it printed this:rm: cannot remove `.mozilla/firefox/twx4866c.default/lock': Read-only file system
[19:42] <charlesburton> not really, it's driver dependent
[19:42] <genii> Meh, btrfs
[19:43] <redy> I don't know .
[19:43] <n-st> as i said, i copied the partitions from my old ssd, so i had two partitions with identical uuids for a while. that seems to have confused the system…
[19:43] <jackarg> ok
[19:43] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, Are you in a live boot enviroment? Ie. running from usb stick?
[19:43] <Glorfindel> No
[19:44] <n-st> Jordan_U: i guess a reboot should fix that, right?
[19:44] <Jordan_U> n-st: When Univerally Unique Identifiers end up being non-unique, bad things tend to happen. *Especially* when btrfs is involved.
[19:44] <Glorfindel> Ubuntu 12.10
[19:44] <Glorfindel> currantly upgrading
[19:45] <charlesburton> jackarg, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[19:45] <Glorfindel> It was anyway
[19:45] <genii> n-st: This wasn't some btrfs RAID where you could use the regular btrfs commands to remove the drive?
[19:45] <Jordan_U> n-st: Reboot, and make sure that you haven't accidentally corrupted both copies of your btrfs filesystem.
[19:45] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, you are as in this instant doing an system upgrade?
[19:45] <jackarg> charlesburton:  14.04. I also use mint 16 a bit more but the same error pops up
[19:46] <Jordan_U> n-st: If you have important non-backed up data on this filesystem, try to back it up *before rebooting*.
[19:46] <jackarg> charlesburton: actually I don't know if it's the same error. I think it is.
[19:46] <charlesburton> jackarg:  Yeah I'm not really sure then.  I don't know much about optimus graphics.  It would make sense if it was the same error though.
[19:47] <Glorfindel> It was, I was haveing it download everything and when it was done I was going to restart.
[19:47] <Glorfindel> but someone literaly pulled the plug
[19:47] <charlesburton> jackarg: It sounds like you need an updated driver somewhere though, either the intel or the Nvidia one
[19:47] <n-st> Jordan_U: i did boot from the btrfs after the first time the two filesystems coexisted, so i'm confident that it's still intact
[19:47] <jackarg> charlesburton:  ok thanks
[19:48] <n-st> not so sure about the source btrfs on the (now unplugged) ssd, but i can't connect it to check, or i'd have the clash all over again :/
[19:48] <n-st> genii: nope, two separate disks.
[19:49] <n-st> alright, i'll reboot and hope for the best. see you in a minute (hopefully).
[19:49] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, I'm sorry. I don't think I can help you out. The file obviously needs to be removed. But I can not for the love of God understand why your home file system would be mounted read only. You have rebooted after your upgrade?
[19:49] <genii> I wonder if the btrfs balance might work.
[19:49] <Glorfindel> No, it didn't finish
[19:50] <Glorfindel> actually the upgrade thing is saying to check my internet conection
[19:50] <Glorfindel> I'm going to try rebooting again and see if it helps
[19:50] <Guest89167> any brazilians?
[19:50] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, Ok. I would reboot and see what happens. BUT I can not recomend someone whos system I know nothing about to do that. Are your important files backed up?
[19:51] <bprompt> `br | Guest89167
[19:51] <bprompt> !br | Guest89167
[19:51] <Glorfindel> oh and according to the file properties it is not read-only
[19:51] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, Are you planning on upgrading all the way up to 14.04?
[19:51] <Glorfindel> and technically my importand ones are because I don't have any on this system :D yes I am
[19:52] <bekks> Glorfindel: Reinstalling 14.04 will be more easy and faster.
[19:52] <Sigurd> I would do a new install. Saves you a lot of time
[19:52] <Ridley> how to force Skype to use a tunnel please
[19:53] <Glorfindel> Yeah, I guess that would be the other option :)
[19:53] <Glorfindel> Alright, back in a bit
[19:53] <n-st> Jordan_U: i rebooted (twice, actually) and it's still alive :)
[19:53] <enzo_> cc
[20:00] <mellohey> hi, im trying to connect through a vpn and i keep getting activation of network connection failed
[20:00] <Jordan_U> n-st: Is /proc/self/mounts looking better, and update-grub happy, now?
[20:02] <Glorfindel> Alright
[20:02] <Ridley> how to prenvet Skype ip resolving under Ubuntu
[20:02] <Ridley> *prevent
[20:03] <n-st> Jordan_U: yup, everything's back to normal, and i've plugged the ssd into another machine and deleted the btrfs with the colliding uuid. thanks for the help!
[20:03] <Jordan_U> n-st: You're welcome.
[20:03] <Glorfindel> Sigurd, rebooting worked! Thanks for your help :)
[20:03] <Obiwantje> Guys on 14.04 is there any way to make x2go work?
[20:04] <Sigurd> Glorfindel, :)
[20:04] <mellohey> hi, im trying to connect through a vpn and i keep getting activation of network connection failed
[20:04] <m1chael> i have this bug in xubuntu 14.04, where if i close the lid of my laptop, the computer will not wake up. i've been hoping that the bug is going to get fixed in the updates, but it's been awhile. i don't want to have to do anything hackish to fix this, but what should i do?
[20:05] <alainv> hey all, I'm having some trouble with an init script not launching elasticsearch - but the exact same command (start-stop-daemon with args) from a shell launches it succesfully
[20:05] <alainv> i am... unsure how to further troubleshoot
[20:11] <m1chael>  i have this bug in xubuntu 14.04, where if i close the lid of my laptop, the computer will not wake up. i've been hoping that the bug is going to get fixed in the updates, but it's been awhile. i don't want to have to do anything hackish to fix this, but what should i do?
[20:15] <shoerain> are the default conf files linkable somewhere online? I'm talking about stuff like the upstart script at /etc/init/mysql.conf on 12.04 -- it would be useful to link to it in my documentation
[20:15] <shoerain> er, some documentation I'm writing
[20:15] <nightray> charlesburton, are you there?
[20:19] <diraol> Hi all, may I ask questions about UbuntuOne service over here or there is another channel that fits better?
[20:19] <rww> diraol: #ubuntuone
[20:20] <diraol> rww: Thanks!
[20:21] <needhelerdude> need help i have a directory with folders i want to delete 1 file out of all the folders in the directory what command should i use?
[20:21] <Pici> needhelerdude: the same filename?
[20:22] <needhelerdude> yes
[20:22] <Jordan_U> needhelerdude: rm -i /directory/*/filename
[20:22] <Pici> needhelerdude: find /path/to/files -name "something.foo" -delete
[20:22] <needhelerdude> thax about to try it
[20:23] <Jordan_U> needhelerdude: And remember, whenever you use a wildcard for deletion you should use "-i" to make it interactive, otherwise you will make a typo one day and remove a lot of files you meant to keep.
[20:23] <Pici> needhelerdude: for the command I gave, remove the -delete, and it will just list the files instead of removing them.
[20:24] <needhelerdude> i cd'ed into the directory
[20:24] <hornypsy1ho> stop sharing ma links
[20:25] <Pici> hornypsy1ho: can we help you?
[20:25] <hornypsy1ho> lol
[20:25] <hornypsy1ho> wrong channel
[20:25] <hornypsy1ho> accidental shift
[20:29] <needhelerdude> thanks man that worked had to press y to delete the files though is it because of the *
[20:35] <skinux> How can we add functionality (e.g. right-click) to have option of launching apps with super user privileges?
[20:40] <awptea> Hey folks, I have an MSI GT70-894 laptop and it seems that I'm having some serious issues getting the nvidia drivers to work. It keeps kicking back to the XRender subsystem and nothing else seems to see that there's an nvidia card installed along with the graphics device on the cpu
[20:41] <awptea> Here's the output of lspci and glxinfo: http://pastie.org/private/3633p0qh7ep5usrmbh0ala
[20:41] <charlesburton> You have to configure bumblebee for optimus graphics, that's what you have.  I wish I could give you more info, but optimus is still really really buggy on linux
[20:42] <bekks> awptea: you can alos use nvidia prime.
[20:42] <awptea> nVidia Prime?
[20:42] <awptea> (I'll eyeball Bumblebee)
[20:43] <bekks> Thats what I said, yes.
[20:44] <kalisondey> salut tout le monde
[20:45] <awptea> Ah, there it is, a package called nvidia-prime. Appreciate it, bekks and charlesburton.
[20:45] <e^> !french | kalisondey
[20:45] <awptea> Been a very, very long time since I gave Linux a go on a desktop/laptop (> 10 years)
[20:45] <kalisondey> ubottu: thx
[20:46] <Glorfindel> Ubot is a bot u?
[20:47] <charlesburton> Yeah, ubottu is a bot
[20:47] <charlesburton> a pretty cool one, but a bot nonetheless
[20:47] <Glorfindel> lol ok
[20:49] <awptea> Well, that didn't work too well. Had to remove nvidia-prime -- Xorg wouldn't start.

[21:20] <dirty__> hello all
[21:23] <Kodiak-> dirty__: Hey there
[21:25] <_Bauer> guys, I have ubuntu 13.10, and for quite a while I could not boot normally for some issues with graphics. I also had stability issues where comp froze all the time and rebooted often. I now have a new video card (switched from old nvidia to new ATI carD) - but I still cant boot in ubuntu
[21:25] <_Bauer> I cant reset xorg config in the help screen
[21:25] <_Bauer> recovery mode with limited graphics also leads to black screen with just the mouse, after login screen
[21:26] <compdoc> I think ubuntu 13.10 is dead. might want to start again with a fresh install of 14.04
[21:26] <_Bauer> I also tried dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to reset the xorg config from command line
[21:26] <_Bauer> but no change
[21:27] <_Bauer> compdoc: well, I'd want to at least somehow backup my profile data like .ssh, .xchat2 dirs etc
[21:28] <guyz> is there any way to easily/quickly jail an SSH user to their home directory without having to install anything extra or effect any other user accounts?
[21:28] <pr3d4t0r> Greetings.
[21:29] <_Bauer> guyz: simply make sure his startup script always executes a chroot command, I think..
[21:29] <Alace> _Bauer, mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[21:29] <pr3d4t0r> Q. Where can I find out which security advisor corresponds to an automatic update just done on one of my Ubuntu servers?  I have the linux-3.xx.xx image version.  Thanks in advance.
[21:29] <guyz> _Bauer, do you happen to have a link to a tutorial or resource (I'm fairly noob)
[21:29] <Alace> _Bauer, restartx
[21:29]  * pr3d4t0r browses the Canonical web site.
[21:30] <_Bauer> Alace: what about removing the nvidia drivers while at it? to reduce errors in log
[21:30] <compdoc> _Bauer, btw, if you dso a fresh install of any ubuntu, and you get freezes and crashes, theres a hardware issue
[21:30] <SonikkuAmerica> pr3d4t0r: perhaps #ubuntu-server has your answer
[21:30] <pr3d4t0r> SonikkuAmerica: Thanks, will check there.    Change the name of xorg.conf that's all and it resets.  Don't forget to startx
[21:31] <mike_papa> Guys, anyone can help me with optimizing ubuntu to work as virtualbox guest under windows?  Host is running on i7 with 32GB ram. I believe it's 3d graphics related, which basically I don't care at all.
[21:31] <_Bauer> compdoc: hmm, could it be that one of the ubuntu 13.10 updates introduced the issue to me?
[21:32] <Alace> _Bauer, type jockey-gtk
[21:32] <Alace> and pick your driver
[21:32] <guntbert> mike_papa: did you install the guest-additions?
[21:32] <mike_papa> guntbert: yes I did
[21:33] <_Bauer> Alace: there are only xorg.failsafe and .new... no current config file
[21:33] <compdoc> _Bauer, anything is possible. but be sure to cheack your hard drive's SMART health using the disk utility, make sure all the fans inside the computer are running and that the heatsicks arent clogged up, and if the motherboard and power supply are 3 years old, theres a possiblity of bad caps
[21:35] <mike_papa> guntbert: I use ubuntu mainly for coding, so if it's possible, I would get rid of all things like compiz, etc... but I don't really know how to do that, without destroying whole unity...
[21:35] <bgardner> quit
[21:35] <_Bauer> compdoc: well I already changed to a brand new Antec PSU, new video card.. it resolved most of my stability problems (checked only in windows so far). Now I am trying to return to my linux hdd (which is SSD, so not much to check there in SMART....)
[21:35] <compdoc> cool
[21:35] <e^> mike_papa: why not switch to xdfe?
[21:35] <compdoc> how old is the motherboard?
[21:35] <guntbert> !text | mike_papa
[21:36] <mike_papa> e^: That could be a way to go. But... how? ;)
[21:36] <e^> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[21:36] <e^> and that's it :)
[21:36] <mike_papa> ubottu: I'd love to stay in GUI, as I use pycharm
[21:36] <_Bauer> Alace: there is no jockey-gtk for me (I cant boot proper gui), and only jockey-text, which gives me error that it cant connect to D-BUS.. what does that mean?
[21:36] <guntbert> mike_papa: the next idea: start the VM "headless" and access it via ssh
[21:37] <mike_papa> guntbert: pycharm won't work ;)
[21:37] <guntbert> mike_papa: ah then I misunderstood - listen to what e^ said
[21:39] <_Bauer> Where are the updated NetBoot images? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot
[21:39] <mike_papa> e^: ok getting it now. and how would I get rid of regular manager, whatever is it? Will it switch to xdfe by itself?
[21:40] <mike_papa> possibility to choose which one to run on boot would be great. or just get rid of unity.
[21:41] <streulma> mike_papa set video ram to 128MB
[21:41] <mike_papa> streulma: it's allready on 256
[21:42] <e^> mike_papa: just log out, then click on xubuntu session next to your username
[21:42] <streulma> hmm ubuntu 14.04 mike_papa ? same problem on VBox...
[21:42] <mike_papa> I've found something about linux-virtual kernel. Is it worth.
[21:42] <mike_papa> streulma: yeah. 14.04
[21:42] <streulma> mike_papa ok then it is ok. 12.04 works better
[21:43] <mike_papa> ok. already different loading screen

[22:12] <thecodethinker> How can I fix this?

[22:17] <pencil> I went to the update manager after installing 10 from an old disc.  I clicked on upgrade and it doesn't give me any feedback.   Don't know if it's doing something.
[22:19] <Glorfindel> I need some help changing some file permissions
[22:19] <daftykins> Glorfindel: please describe
[22:20] <pencil> Glor how are you trying to change the permissions?
[22:20] <Glorfindel> It is in /etc/ircd/ and when I try to change it using sudo chmod  or sudo chown it won't
[22:20] <Glorfindel> vt
[22:22] <daftykins> Glorfindel: 'it' ? can you pastebin ls -al in the folder before, show the command you're running and what you're trying to achieve?
[22:23] <Glorfindel> Is -al?
[22:24] <Glorfindel> 'it' is the file I am trying to change permissions on
[22:25] <e^> Glorfindel: ls -al
[22:25] <e^> not Is
[22:26] <Glorfindel> L/
[22:26] <Glorfindel> L?
[22:26] <wilee-nilee> Glorfindel, all L's
[22:26] <wilee-nilee> small L's
[22:26] <Glorfindel> ok
[22:27] <Glorfindel> -rwxrwxrwx 1 777 root 497 Oct 17  2011 /etc/ircd/ircd.motd
[22:27] <bardis> poios sas gamaei
[22:27] <bardis> zoakia !!
[22:29] <wilee-nilee> !lt
[22:29] <daftykins> Glorfindel: right so you've 777'd it, which is a really bad move hah - what's going wrong?
[22:29] <daftykins> Glorfindel: however what is the group '497' ?
[22:29] <wilee-nilee> bardis, ^^^^^^^
[22:30] <Glorfindel> I have no idea
[22:30] <e^> didn't he mess it up, using chown 777, instead of chmod 777 ?
[22:31] <Glorfindel> "what's going wrong" I couldn't save it after I edited it
[22:31] <e^> it says the user is "777"
[22:31] <daftykins> e^: oh yeah, silly tired eyes :) good shout
[22:31] <e^> Glorfindel: type sudo chown <yourusername> <filename>
[22:31] <daftykins> we don't know that his ircd runs as his user
[22:31] <daftykins> Glorfindel: is it basically that someone who joins your IRC server isn't getting an MOTD display?
[22:32] <mavros> grnet
[22:33] <unkn-error> Why is ubuntu Malware - Spyware?
[22:33]  * daftykins 's silent troll alarm sounds
[22:33] <unkn-error> It was such a nice distro
[22:34] <wilee-nilee> unkn-error, This is support, you need a blog for that. ;)
[22:34] <unkn-error> is there any way to disable spyware feauters that are build into the ubuntu?
[22:35] <unkn-error> or the spyware functions of ubuntu is so heavy wrapped in that it can't be removed?
[22:35] <daftykins> the shopping lenses can all be disabled pretty easily
[22:35] <Glorfindel> I was getting it, it said: This is Debian's default IRCd server configuration for irc2.11. If you see this and if you are the server administrator, just edit ircd.conf and ircd.motd in /etc/ircd Which is why I wanted to change it
[22:35] <daftykins> but that's not spyware
[22:36] <wilee-nilee> unkn-error, The channel or ubuntu does not call anything in the OS spyware, can you be specific without the use of theses words which are opinions at best?
[22:36] <unkn-error> uhm, well as long it is regarding my privacy it is...
[22:36] <daftykins> Glorfindel: yeah so you want to put your own message in those files, not mess with permissions on them
[22:36] <daftykins> unkn-error: no, you're abusing a term for the wrong scenario
[22:36] <e^> daftykins: do you think root might be the user since the group is root ?
[22:36] <Glorfindel> I can't save it untill I change the perms
[22:36] <daftykins> e^: depends what the IRCd runs as i guess
[22:36] <daftykins> Glorfindel: whoa, you're going about this completely wrong
[22:37] <e^> Glorfindel: you can use sudo nano, gksu gedit etc. to change it
[22:37] <wilee-nilee> unkn-error, All of what you hint at can be turned off in privacy.
[22:37] <daftykins> Glorfindel: first off, what user does your ircd execute as?
[22:37] <Glorfindel> Glorfindel
[22:37] <daftykins> ps -ef | grep irc
[22:38] <unkn-error> daftykins, how can the shoping lens be disabled?
[22:38] <daftykins> unkn-error: i don't personally know but there are hundreds of guides online
[22:38] <wilee-nilee> unkn-error, In privacy, I told you already.
[22:38] <daftykins> ok, so the file is 777'd anyway since you set it earlier, so restore it to normal with "sudo chown root: /etc/ircd/ircd.motd"
[22:38] <daftykins> Glorfindel: ^
[22:38] <unkn-error> okay, thank you I will look after it
[22:38] <Glorfindel> ok
[22:39] <daftykins> Glorfindel: so after that, edit files as e^ said with "sudo nano /etc/ircd/ircd.motd" in a terminal
[22:39] <Glorfindel> ok
[22:39] <pencil> i installed a dual boot ubuntu 10 from a disc but now I'm trying to upgrade with the manager and I can't see feedback that its working
[22:40] <Glorfindel> Thanks for the help everyone :)
[22:40] <wilee-nilee> pencil, 10m what and is this with a desktop?

[22:41] <wilee-nilee> !eol | pencil look at eol upgrades
[22:41] <pencil> itss a lap top
[22:41] <wilee-nilee> pencil, A desktop on the OS see the eol info
[22:42] <scrubfest> Trying to burn a .iso to a usb in ubuntu using this software: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ What is "Distribution"?
[22:42] <pencil> ok sso I need to toss the disc and down load from the net
[22:42] <wilee-nilee> scrubfest, The OS
[22:42] <scrubfest> The OS that...?
[22:43] <e^> scrubfest: ...you want to install
[22:43] <scrubfest> Aha
[22:43] <wilee-nilee> pencil, Is that your answer to the issue, or what you have gleaned from here. Use nicks if you are answering another.
[22:43] <scrubfest> Oh, the software is exclusively for booting with usb?
[22:43] <e^> scrubfest: use browse, i think the distribution on the top is to download the .iso online
[22:43] <scrubfest> Not just burning .iso to usb in general?
[22:43] <wilee-nilee> scrubfest, no
[22:43] <OerHeks> scrubfest, why not use usb-creator in your ubuntu?
[22:44] <pencil> Thanks guys.   I have no idea what to do now.
[22:44] <scrubfest> I used disc creator, if that is the one you mean. When I did (tried twice) I got an error
[22:44] <wilee-nilee> scrubfest, What is the ISO's distro?
[22:44] <daftykins> just FYI it's not burning when it's a USB flash drive
[22:45] <scrubfest> distro?
[22:45] <daftykins> if it is, the fire brigade would be over
[22:45] <wilee-nilee> scrubfest, THe OS
[22:45] <scrubfest> Linux?
[22:45] <e^> lol
[22:45] <scrubfest> It's kali
[22:45] <wilee-nilee> scrubfest,To vague what is it fedora, ubuntu...etc
[22:45] <scrubfest> :P
[22:45] <scrubfest> So... kali
[22:45] <scrubfest> :P
[22:46] <scrubfest> Unfortunantly that is not listed in the software. Am I skrewed?
[22:46] <wilee-nilee> scrubfest, Not supported here and the disc creator will only allow ubuntu
[22:46] <scrubfest> Aha... same question
[22:46] <scrubfest> :P
[22:47] <wilee-nilee> scrubfest, Handfuls of usb loaders so take you pick, it seems it is a matter of understanding on how to do this is any specific usb loader app
[22:48] <wilee-nilee> which if true does not support any use of kali at the least
[22:48] <scrubfest> Time to fire up that windows and do this the easy way! :/
[22:49] <scrubfest> Thanks for the help regardless, good night
[22:56] <Megabyte> Guys
[22:56] <Megabyte> we have a huge problem
[22:56] <cristobal> ?
[22:56] <Megabyte> Ubuntu has no multilingual glossary
[22:56] <cristobal> what do you mean XD
[22:57] <Megabyte> It should have one to estabilish coherent naming conventions between many languageas
[22:57] <Megabyte> cristobal, Ubuntu has no technical dictionary listing what is the correct translation between one language to another
[22:57] <Megabyte> cristobal, like this http://www.microsoft.com/Language/en-US/Default.aspx
[22:57] <cristobal> let me see
[22:58] <Megabyte> cristobal, see this example
[22:58] <Megabyte> cristobal, http://www.microsoft.com/Language/en-US/Search.aspx?sString=application&langID=pt-br
[22:59] <cristobal> i see so i guess since the translation is already done it just need a database link and definition check ?
[22:59] <Megabyte> cristobal, Precisely so.
[22:59] <cristobal> hum but what do you really use this for? i  really dont see the use at least i know i iwll never use it:p
[23:00] <Megabyte> cristobal, This speeds up translations a lot while keep consistency
[23:00] <Megabyte> cristobal, *keeping
[23:00] <cristobal> oh i see
[23:00] <cristobal> do you speak another language?
[23:00] <Megabyte> cristobal, Brazilian Portuguese. I'm updating Ubuntu's manual to 14.10 in Brazilian Portuguese based on the 13.10 manual.
[23:01] <cristobal> great one sec
[23:01] <Megabyte> cristobal, The Lanchpad / Latex system is overcomplicated and too complex, so I ditched it altogether and I'm using Libreoffice with styles to get it translated
[23:02] <cristobal> okay i am back sorry phone :P
[23:03] <cristobal> hum you know i also speak other languages english being my seccond but for some languages that could be a real pain in the .... hehe but i think its a good idea in general :p
[23:03] <daftykins> guys this is lovely, but also off topic
[23:04] <Megabyte> daftykins, it's not, really. Users themselves would benefit from glossaries.
[23:04] <cristobal> true there is no one asking nothing boring to watch people just get out
[23:04] <sisterFister> so i've got a fresh install of lubuntu and firefox doesn't have flash player installed. how do i cmd get this fast ?
[23:04] <daftykins> Megabyte: it is :) you're very welcome to discuss non-support in #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:05] <daftykins> !flash | sisterFister
[23:05] <Megabyte> daftykins, aren't you being overly strict?
[23:05] <Megabyte> It's just as cristobal said... there's no one asking anything...
[23:05] <daftykins> Megabyte: no.
[23:06] <daftykins> i don't care :) channel rules are channel rules
[23:06] <deddisk> I have a bash application on the tip of my tongue - it is specifically used for setting wallpapers - it had all the options of feh with additions like adjusting brightness and contrast and even blurring, if I recall right - can anyone help me remmeber what this application was?
[23:07] <Megabyte> daftykins, this is why Ubuntu can't have good stuff, you know. If I say Launcher is overcomplicated and we should replace it with odt templates, where do I "forward" this complaint to? #ubunt-no-launchpad?
[23:07] <wilee-nilee> deddisk, ubuntu tweak?
[23:07] <daftykins> Megabyte: you realise this channel is full of volunteers so discussing it here goes nowhere too, right?
[23:07] <cristobal> dddisk; xbacklight?
[23:07] <deddisk> wilee-nilee: no.. it was something with an "x" in the name, I think
[23:08] <wilee-nilee> deddisk, ah bash?
[23:08] <daftykins> Megabyte: you also realise how pathetic and futile your arguing back, is? :)
[23:08] <deddisk> cristobal: I don't think that was it...actually i've never heard of that one before at all
[23:08] <e^> deddisk: compizconfig settings manager?
[23:09] <deddisk> wilee-nilee: yeah, it was a bash application - I used to use it in my .xinitrc with a script, but I lost it somehow and because I never changed it, I forgot what it was
[23:09] <wilee-nilee> deddisk, You describe a gui bash is a text.
[23:10] <deddisk> wilee-nilee: wait what? nono, the applications et wallpaper from bash, like 'feh --bg-fill wallpaper.jpg' only this one had controls fro brightness and contrast adjustments
[23:10] <deddisk> s/et/set
[23:10] <deddisk> wilee-nilee: it's on the tip of my tongue too :(
[23:11] <e^> if you can remember part of the name or some description, use apt-cache search <app name or description>
[23:11] <deddisk> wilee-nilee: bight and contrast adjustments were controlled with arguments, not a gui
[23:11] <wilee-nilee> deddisk, I have no idea.
[23:11] <e^> deddisk: xstarfish ?
[23:12] <deddisk> e^: thats the thing :( all I can remember is it contained the letter "x" - I started by looking for something prefixed with xset or something from the xfce packages, but I just can't find it
[23:14] <wilee-nilee> deddisk> wilee-nilee: bight and contrast adjustments were controlled with arguments, not a gui There is a gui for this, your wording is a job of deciphering to be honest
[23:15] <wilee-nilee> are gui as a plural
[23:15] <deddisk> wilee-nilee: sorry, I'm trying to recall featurs to a program I rarely used
[23:16] <wilee-nilee> deddisk, And criticizing me, after to at the least get what you want understood. good luck with that.
[23:16] <TJ-> deddisk: Was is sxiv ?
[23:18] <sisterFister> so...flash player keeps crashing and all i did was sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[23:19] <deddisk> deddisk: i can't tell if i offended you or not, but I didn't mean to
[23:20] <daftykins> sisterFister: is your system stable? try other flash content, maybe what you're trying to use is bad
[23:20] <deddisk> TJ-: no it wasn't sxiv
[23:21] <asmodeus> Hi, I ran the upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 and was left with "file not found \ grub rescue>", so i booted from a cd and did the boot repair, as suggested somewhere in the Ubuntu forums, now it boots to the splash screen and says it's checking disk 1 of 1, 0% complete, press c to cancel.  After an hour of the hd light being solidly on, I hit 'c', and it still says it's checking disk 1 of 1, 0% complete, but I no longer have the op
[23:21] <wilee-nilee> asmodeus, Did you save the bootinfo summary?
[23:22] <sisterFister> daftykins: i've tried three websites.
[23:22] <asmodeus> wilee-nilee: I have no idea, when would I have had that option?
[23:22] <wilee-nilee> asmodeus, In the popup that says save the url.
[23:22] <daftykins> sisterFister: right but are they legit?
[23:23] <sisterFister> youtube, pandora, grooveshark lol
[23:23] <daftykins> so... memtest time? :)
[23:23] <asmodeus> wilee-nilee: I don't remember any popup about a url.  Would that have been when I did the boot repair?
[23:23] <deddisk> I think I found it O.o hsetroot, I probably thought there was an x in the name because of "hset" being so similar to "xset" which is a lot more common
[23:23] <sisterFister> lol, is that the next step daftykins ?
[23:24] <ResupineEarth> hello, please can someone tell me an way to merge partitions
[23:24] <deddisk> thanks all for the help :)
[23:24] <cristobal> live cd gparted?
[23:24] <wilee-nilee> asmodeus, Yes it is a auto popup this is an important part of bootrepair in general for diagnoses.
[23:25] <daftykins> sisterFister: it'd be my next move, if you're unsure of the reliability of your system
[23:25] <sisterFister> does the spotify desktop client use flash?
[23:25] <sisterFister> i'm pretty confident in the reliability of the system daftykins
[23:25] <daftykins> sisterFister: well, all memtest costs is time
[23:25] <ResupineEarth> thanks i have used gparted to delete a reformat a partition but i would like to merge the partition into 1
[23:25] <ResupineEarth> and i cant seem to figure out how to do it
[23:25] <deddisk> ResupineEarth: you just copy the files from one partition to the other and delete the extra partition
[23:26] <deddisk> ResupineEarth: you need to make sure you preserve permissions if they are important system files in the second partition
[23:26] <cristobal> ResupineEarth: http://askubuntu.com/questions/269045/how-to-merge-an-unallocated-partition-with-an-extended-partition
[23:26] <wilee-nilee> asmodeus, The bootrepair has a button just to run it alone if you see the bootrepair app again.
[23:26] <deddisk> ResupineEarth: you also need o make sure you have adequate space on the single partition you are moving to
[23:26] <ResupineEarth> ok thankyou #
[23:26] <asmodeus> wilee-nilee: hrm...I can run it again
[23:26] <deddisk> ResupineEarth: there is no "merge it for me, please" button, unfortunately :(
[23:27] <nashant> ok, a little advice please. I think my (under 6 months old) Samsung 840 Evo might have killed itself somehow. All of a sudden I started getting "buffer io error on device dm-2" and when I tried to run any command all I would get is 'bus error'. Will it definitely be the drive, or could it be the SATA controller I just bought?
[23:27] <deddisk> ResupineEarth: too many issues would arise with file systems and such to automate such a task in linux
[23:27] <wilee-nilee> asmodeus, Just run the bootinfo summary look closely it is on that first screen you see when you fire it up.
[23:27] <ResupineEarth> ok thanks deddisk
[23:27] <ResupineEarth> lol
[23:28] <daftykins> nashant: is all data from it backed up?
[23:28] <deddisk> ^^
[23:28] <daftykins> nashant: i can guarantee you that the #1 diagnostic step from any SSD manufacturer is to secure erase it and try again
[23:28] <TJ-> nashant: what's the (new) controller?
[23:28] <nashant> daftykins, not at all. But it's not a huge worry, I've just set up ubuntu, xen and a few VMs
[23:29] <nashant> I have 2 of them in there, and it won't even boot past the SATA controller
[23:29] <daftykins> nashant: it's definitely always good to rule out layers of obfuscation, why not plug one directly into the motherboard SATA? were they in RAID-0?
[23:29] <TJ-> nashant: which Ubuntu version and architecture ?
[23:30] <wilee-nilee> ResupineEarth, Careful with the idea of merge that link is not really a merge either, linux does not merge in this context.
[23:30] <nashant> trusty server amd64
[23:30] <sisterFister> restart didn't fix flash
[23:30] <TJ-> nashant: and the (new) controller make/model ?
[23:30] <nashant> daftykins: because later linux kernels won't recognise various marvell controllers
[23:31] <nashant> TJ-, it's a.....
[23:31] <TJ-> nashant: or better still, the controller's PCI vendor:product ID from "lspci -nn"
[23:31] <daftykins> nashant: not sure how that answer applies to anything i said
[23:32] <nashant> TJ-, Syba with an ASM1061 chipset
[23:32] <TJ-> daftykins: I think nashant's answer was to "why not plug one directly into the motherboard SATA" ... the implication being, the on-board controller is Marvell
[23:32] <TJ-> nashant: let us have the PCI ID
[23:33] <nashant> daftykins: You're right, I'll unplug the other 6 drives and check with the main sata controller on my board
[23:33] <nashant> TJ-, I would love to, but it's half past midnight and my girlfriend would kill me if I started opening up the server right now
[23:34] <TJ-> nashant: Why would you open the server?
[23:34] <nashant> because it won't boot
[23:34] <nashant> I'll need to open it up, switch sata ports around, and boot it
[23:34] <TJ-> nashant: Ahhh... have you tried starting it from a LiveISO on USB ?
[23:35] <nashant> Can't even do that. The SATA controller forces itself upon you, and you have to wait for it to recognise the disks before you can get past that
[23:35] <nashant> A bit annoying really
[23:35] <nashant> I'm really hoping it's the controller
[23:36] <nashant> or am I?
[23:36] <daftykins> nashant + TJ- - ah, marvell as an only onboard controller, that's rare. sorry, my eyes are gone tonight :)
[23:36] <nashant> I'm not sure which would be less convenient
[23:37] <nashant> daftykins: Nope, not only. Just additional
[23:37] <wilee-nilee> daftykins, more salt and lime. ;)
[23:37] <nashant> It has a 6 port ATI controller and a 2 port shitty Marvell
[23:38] <nashant> Why even bother?
[23:38] <TJ-> nashant: here's the problem... and a workaround:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/228927/boot-failure-failed-command-identify-packet-device
[23:38] <TJ-> nashant: key bit: "...ASMedia ASM1061 chip for two SATA3 ports. I had a DVD drive in one of them and got the error. Switched the DVD drive to a SATA port handled by the Z77 chip and everything works."
[23:39] <daftykins> mmm, cheap ASMedia to blame perhaps
[23:39] <TJ-> nashant: The reason is, according to a Linux kernel bug report, the ASM1061 doesn't handle ATAPI commands (used by optical disks) so when it is queried at boot-time it freezes up
[23:40] <nashant> TJ- I don't think that's it. Everything was working fine, then all of a sudden...nada
[23:40] <nashant> Everything was booting, running, no problems. Then 30 mins ago it just stopped spitting out I/O errors
[23:41] <nashant> stopped, spitting out
[23:41] <nashant> the comma is very important there
[23:41] <daftykins> latest firmware on these SSDs i take it?
[23:42] <nashant> errr, nope
[23:43] <TJ-> nashant: How long have you had the controller installed?
[23:43] <nashant> hmm
[23:43] <nashant> 2 days
[23:45] <TJ-> nashant: The ATAPI probes of the ports looks the most likely; other's report the same Bus Error with that configuration
[23:45] <thecha> HI:ubuntu configure port forwarding to open UDP 20595? how to be done?
[23:46] <daftykins> thecha: port forwarding is done on a NAT router typically, not the OS.
[23:46] <clevas> Does ubuntu support dual with win 8.1?
[23:46] <nashant> Tomorrow I'll try switching stuff about, update the firmware, modify that udev line, etc. Cheers for the help TJ-, daftykins
[23:46] <nashant> bloody thing
[23:46] <daftykins> clevas: yes
[23:46] <nashant> I've literally just put it back behind the TV and now I've gotta pull it out again
[23:46] <daftykins> nashant: good luck :)
[23:47] <nashant> Hopefully a night spent off might do something
[23:47] <nashant> Cheers daftykins!
[23:48] <TJ-> nashant: if you can boot it to the grub menu (hold down Shift key), you can start the Recovery mode. I'd recommend adding "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel command-line before starting Recovery, to prevent udev, then you can get in, edit/remove the udev rule, and reboot
[23:49] <luckybunny> clevas: yes
[23:49] <luckybunny> I have 2 dualboots with 14.04/8.1
[23:50] <luckybunny> the laptop is doing less well, because I'm having issues getting the ubuntu to work properly, but the desktop accepted windows no problem
[23:51] <chreuben> Has anyone in here used cgroups (control groups) at all? Was it worth the trouble?
[23:52] <clevas> luckybunny they must have paid MS
[23:52] <thecha> so how do i portforward
[23:52] <thecha> i am new to ubuntu
[23:53] <clevas> i dont have secureboot does that matter?
[23:54] <luckybunny> clevas: the laptop issue isn't with the actual dualboot. it's the fact that the only way I can actually get ubuntu running now is without GLX
[23:54] <luckybunny> all because I tried to install the ATI drivers
[23:54] <luckybunny> had to remove it
[23:54] <clevas> Im happy i found one that'll dual boot. I couldnt come across anymore
[23:54] <luckybunny> but now even the mesa driver screws things up lol
[23:55] <luckybunny> clevas: you can dualboot with secureboot, but you have to disable it in BIOS
[23:56] <wilee-nilee> clevas> luckybunny they must have paid MS Bad comment without a context, yes money was part of making the shim fpr the secure boot.
[23:56] <daftykins> luckybunny: ubuntu is signed, it shouldn't need disabling
[23:56] <luckybunny> I might re-enable mine then
[23:57] <daftykins> luckybunny: as long as you have the signed kernel and signed grub efi package on
[23:57] <daftykins> *GRUB
[23:57] <luckybunny> just to check it out
[23:58] <dirty__> hey guys just installed 14.10 and its knocked the scroller on my touchpad out of action any guidance on regaining it?
[23:59] <TJ-> dirty__: support for 14.10 is in #ubuntu+1
[23:59] <dirty__> tyvm friend laters
[23:59] <luckybunny> I asked in here about my graphics issue. I spoke to a guy who was pretty sure it was the drivers, which I removed and it seemed ok... but then he remembered that I'd mentioned it briefly shows a CLI login before blackscreening, and thought it might have been something else
