[00:08] <krabador> hi , how can i use only a usb wireless card and not the internal, in a notebook ?
[00:09] <wileee> krabador, Be sure it works and use it, many cheap plug and play out there, marked as such in searches
[00:09] <krabador> wileee, it works, but it seems i can't disable the internale, for use only the external
[00:09] <wileee> krabador, Should show in the network manager or what ever your control is on your desktop
[00:10] <wileee> krabador, I believe i will default to the ethernet
[00:10] <krabador> if i try to disable the one, both don't works
[00:11] <wileee> krabador, You will have to give good details, you're not new here.
[00:12] <wileee> krabador, Could it be that you don;t know if the wifi is working, it may not be and ethernet off means you'rs off the net?
[00:13] <wileee> showing does not always mean working
[00:18] <ntz> why do those ppl dance like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgGEwqaZLKc
[00:19] <wileee> !topic | ntz
[00:22] <ntz> sorry, i only wanted to enlighten an ubuntu users about the danceing trends
[00:22] <wileee> don't dance here, ;)
[00:23] <wileee> not a popular with geeks I would imagine
[00:24] <ntz> hmm ... geeks love it here
[00:24] <wileee> ntz, Might be a funny discussion in #ubnutu-offtopic though
[00:25] <wileee>   #ubuntu-offtopic   sorry
[00:26] <krabador> wileee, thank you , sudo ifconfig <dev> down , do the work
[00:26] <wileee> krabador, Good job. ;)
[00:27] <Guest21111> When moving my touchpad, wakeups per second in power manager goes from 100 to 700. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04
[00:28] <Guest21111> PS/2 keyboard/mouse/touchpad shows 300+wakeups, and Local Interrupts goes up to 260 when using the touchpad.
[00:28] <wileee> Guest21111, Little loose in the description, can you detail that a bit more, compartmentalize?
[00:29] <Guest21111> wileee: I'm using Mate Power Manager. When I go to the processor tab to view Processor wakeups per second, I get an average of 100 wakeups per second when not using the touchpad. When I move the mouse using the touchpad, it immediately jumps up to 600-700.
[00:30] <Guest21111> wileee: I'm thinking this may be related to my short battery life. I've looked around on forums, it's a common issue with synaptics touchpads. But I've found no solutions. Apparently it was fixed in Ubuntu 12.04, but I still have the issue in 14.04.
[00:30] <wileee> Guest21111, Thanks, I've not used the app or mate. If it were me I would check does this show in the use and is this just looking for problems, seems high but may be a norm, not sure here. ;)
[00:31] <feneco_> hello
[00:32] <feneco_> worth it upgrading from 14.04lts to 15.04?
[00:32] <wileee> Guest21111, ps2 mouse and keyboard is a bit old hardware, I believe basically shut off on new releases, but still thee.
[00:32] <BotchlaB> imho, no. I'd stick with 14.04 LTS till the next LTS comes out.
[00:32] <wileee> feneco_, Your decision.
[00:33] <Guest21111> wileee: most laptops still use PS/2 internally for the touchpad. Also, when idle I get 0-1% cpu usage. But as soon as I begin moving the mouse, it goes up to 7-10%.
[00:34] <wileee> Guest21111, Can't say what is normal in this, I would not be worried however if this does not effect the systems running, can't tell if it does for you. Peoplle how can cover this may ask just that question.
[00:35] <wileee> how=who  sorry
[00:36] <energizer> How do I 'find' a file on a webpage
[00:36] <wileee> Guest21111, Were you on yesterday with the 1% use?
[00:36] <Guest21111> wileee: No, this is my first time in the IRC
[00:37] <Guest21111> wileee: In a few years anyway.
[00:37] <datahood> synthor< are the tech help?
[00:38] <datahood> synthor -<sorry typo=< are you the tech help?
[00:38] <wileee> Guest21111, An issue if I knew this area would be your hardware info cpu, ram...etc, I would include this and proof is all for help. Very good help here but some want enough info to help as a start.
[00:39] <datahood> can anyone here help with a bios issue?
[00:39] <squinty> !ask
[00:39] <wileee> datahood, everybody here is free volunteer tech help/
[00:39] <daftykins> BIOS is beyond the scope of ubuntu support really.
[00:39] <datahood> ok
[00:39] <datahood> sorry
[00:39] <daftykins> but you have to ask the question for us to know what you're on about
[00:39] <datahood> ok
[00:41] <datahood> I been trying to get help all day...I tried to update fire fox browser last night and clamtk reported a virus from the firefox update
[00:42] <doctorly_> I am trying to install grub2 onto a usb from a serperate live usb. What is the best way to install just grub2 to a USB?
[00:42] <squinty> datahood,  firefox updates come through via the repo's updating process
[00:42] <feneco_> it's weird, so ubuntu 14.04 wont have software updates? like java or firefox?
[00:42] <wileee> datahood, You are using the ubuntu repos on both apps correct?
[00:42] <daftykins> datahood: and somehow you hop from this to BIOS?
[00:42] <doctorly_> It seems like most tutorials are for a fresh install, it would be nice if I could just install grub2 from the install option on the live cd though.
[00:43] <wileee> doctorly, you can
[00:43] <doctorly_> wilee: It keeps telling me I need to select a root though, and then it trys to install ubuntu onto the root. Is there something else I can do?
[00:44] <datahood> daftykins< yes...because after I quarantined the virus I realized that I install ubuntu 32 bit instead of 64...somehow I can not reinstall any disc from my drive
[00:44] <wileee> doctorly, some details might help
[00:44] <daftykins> datahood: sorry that's a crazy leap
[00:45] <wafflejock> daftykins, have been having problems trying to help datahood because it seems the BIOS isn't respecting the boot order or something may be wrong with the installation media possibly but we tried a few things earlier
[00:45] <wafflejock> daftykins, long story short is just trying to reinstall to 64-bit but can't get the bootable media going
[00:45] <doctorly_> wileee: there are two devices, a usb and a HDD. HDD has Ubuntu, USB needs grub2 so that I can boot into HDD. USB only needs to have grub2 on it, nothing else.
[00:46] <daftykins> wafflejock: righty-o, thanks for the heads up :)
[00:46] <datahood> wafflejock: thanks
[00:46] <wileee> doctorly, So you want the usb as the grub boot always or you need to get in now to fix this on the HD?
[00:47] <wileee> doctorly, End goal?
[00:47] <nahtnam> Hey!
[00:47] <nahtnam> I have a home server, and I want to setup a nas (public w/ private accounts)
[00:47] <nahtnam> any idea how I can do that/
[00:48] <daftykins> nahtnam: which part is relevant to ubuntu?
[00:48] <nahtnam> daftykins: The home server is running ubuntu
[00:48] <nahtnam> server
[00:48] <doctorly_> wileee: I want it to always be the grub boot, because the bios actually can't boot to the hard drive. It is a eMMC, and is not detectable to the bios, but grub can boot the HDD. It is a really weird use case.
[00:48] <daftykins> nahtnam: ok so setup samba then?
[00:48] <datahood> wafflejock: I did get the boot order to change but did not boot from disc just went to a page that said *ubuntu, advanced options for ubuntu, memory test (memory test 86) serial console 115200
[00:48] <nahtnam> daftykins: Kk, thanks.
[00:50] <Shed-34046> the intel websites says my graphics card don't support linux.. Is that BS?
[00:50] <wileee> doctorly_ Ah cool, I would just use supergrub for now, but putting grub for boot on the usb is doable, I would have to google it myself. Really you need better help, to check if this is true.
[00:50] <Shed-34046> Its Intel pentium b960 with intel hd graphics.
[00:50] <Shed-34046> i believe the intel hd graphics is 2nd gen intel.
[00:51] <wileee> doctorly_ That is checking if a no on board grub is not usable, may be, just not sure here.
[00:52] <wileee> bad wording strike the no, mistaken type
[00:52] <doctorly_> msg wileee It is for sure possible, there is someone who has accomplished it,  on this same model. It is a really weird work around and I am not sure how he did it. When I get the chance to ask I will, but he hasn't been around.
[00:52] <doctorly_> lmao
[00:52] <doctorly_> my b
[00:53] <daftykins> !pm | doctorly_
[00:53] <doctorly_> like I said, my b
[00:53] <Shed-34046> Does most graphics cards support linux or they'll say it don't but it loads fine?
[00:53] <wileee> doctorly_, If it can be done, there are handfuls I see here daily, writing code for users at time, way beyond a support scenario in excellent service.
[00:53] <datahood> daftykins: ok I guess wafflejock gone?
[00:54] <daftykins> o0
[00:55] <wileee> doctorly, supergrub should bot it for now, I would hold out for the onboard and you knowing how to do it.
[00:55] <doctorly_> wileee: it is just a chainloader but in the reverse order to the way people usually do it. I am juts struggling to get it working. I'm sure supergrub will work for now though
[00:55] <doctorly_> wileee: at least until I can get the help I need
[00:56] <wileee> pesky nick there is doctorly & doctorly_
[00:56] <wileee> that both of you
[00:56] <wileee> just making sure your notified is all with either
[00:57] <doctorly_> wileee: Yeah, I'm on both, my laptop is on live distro and I don't want to kill it every time I boot
[00:57] <wileee> cool
[00:58] <codepython777> Has anyone recently bought a dell xps ubuntu version? Can't find it on the web to buy?
[00:59] <daftykins> codepython777: beyond the scope of this channel
[00:59] <datahood> currently im using ubuntu 32 bit..how can I install ubuntu 64 bit without burning a copy from a download?
[01:00] <wileee> pure voodoo
[01:00] <Ben64> datahood: you could use a flash drive instead
[01:01] <datahood> i been having trouble mounting a flash drive
[01:01] <wileee> probably boot it with grub, just a guess with a bit difference, grub is 32 bit
[01:02] <codepython777> wow! Dell stopped shipping ubuntu dell xps 13 !
[01:02] <codepython777> does anyone know why?
[01:02] <daftykins> codepython777: for the second time now, that is not on topic here.
[01:02] <wileee> !topic | codepython777
[01:03] <wafflejock> codepython777, join #ubuntu-offtopic for non support discussion
[01:03] <wafflejock> datahood, I'm back and forth but need to do some work here but sounds like it's still just skipping the boot media
[01:25] <datahood> how do I uninstall grub?
[01:26] <wileee> datahood, Why?
[01:27] <datahood> because it want let me  reinstall anything..screen just blink and goes from new install screen to grub
[01:27] <Ben64> grub is required to boot
[01:28] <wileee> datahood, The grub boot is probably in the mbr, where the partition table info is...etc, a pro area at the least to mess with, not a good or solid idea.
[01:28] <datahood> ok
[01:28] <datahood> so how can I boot from usb or cd?
[01:29] <wileee> datahood, Use the per-session boot and make sure the medis is good.
[01:29] <wileee> media*
[01:29] <datahood> wileee< what is the per session boot?
[01:30] <wileee> datahood, On my computer and all others besides a bios access with a key press, you can have the bootfrom menu with another key press, mine is f12
[01:30] <datahood> mine is f-12
[01:30] <datahood> so what do you mean by per-session?
[01:31] <wileee> datahood, If you are not booting from there with the media, I would check the media.
[01:31] <wileee> datahood, per-session is that when you boot from that f12 menu at least here it is not a saved choice
[01:31] <datahood> its not the media...I have  numerous versions of linux....and windows...neither will boot from cd
[01:33] <wileee> datahood, We can only assume all that media is good, problem here is over the net only so much can be done, especially depends on at least he user with issue is skilled in the tests needed to confirm any issue, here the media.
[01:33] <wileee> the*
[01:35] <wileee> datahood, Your for from any good descriptions or cause and effect that works is all. ;) You might find some local help.
[01:36] <datahood> well all I know is that this user knows bad media and it want load after clamtk logged and quarantine a virus...local help it is theen
[01:43] <Nectar> when installing Gnome, is gdm simply a gnome login screen instead of the standard ubuntu one?
[01:44] <datahood> wileee< just ran a virus scan and can not delete 3 files found nor quarantine them...any suggestions?
[01:59] <WarAndGeese> I think I broke my install, although I don't think I did anything too odd
[01:59] <WarAndGeese> it was on a live usb though so I'm pretty safe, no real data lost
[01:59] <wafflejock> Nectar, basically yea
[02:00] <mnathani_> how do I make an iptable rule persistent?
[02:01] <Nectar> can gnome be installed in the application center instead of though termininal?
[02:01] <Nectar> is that possible
[02:03] <energizer> Hopefully somebody knows how to do this. I'm looking to search a website for all '*.dta' files  and print their directories. Is that possible?
[02:04] <pzn> energizer, do you have an shell account to the webserver machine?
[02:05] <energizer> pzn no. i was thinking something with wget --spider | grep would work, but i can't quite figure it otu
[02:05] <energizer> out*
[02:06] <squinty> Nectar,  search for ubuntu-gnome-desktop
[02:07] <bazhang> !info ubuntu-gnome-desktop
[02:08] <pzn> energizer, maybe this:  wget -r -l 999 -np http://your-site.com   than later you do "find . | grep -i dta$" in the downloaded structure
[02:08] <PacoSinbad> Anyone use f.lux in Ubuntu?
[02:08] <Nectar> if i intend on using gnome what are the benifits of downloading ubuntu-gnome rather than downloading and installing ubuntu and then installing gnome?
[02:09] <Nectar> pzn: what was that?
[02:11] <energizer> pzn: that will download the whole site, no? (it's too big to do that)
[02:12] <pzn> energizer, but you don't have access to the website server, to search at directories... how could you find all files without downloading all the website?
[02:13] <energizer> pzn: there are a lot of large files on the site, i don't want to download them all, i just want to search them to locate the ones i want
[02:14] <pzn> energizer, I'm not good at websites. does the website has a page that lists all files?
[02:15] <energizer> pzn: not that i can see
[02:15] <energizer> pzn: or have seen, anyway
[02:16] <pzn> energizer, sorry... don't know how search all *.ext files from a website without downloading all the files, or without downloading a file list :-(
[02:21] <ua> sorry
[02:22] <energizer> no worries pzn thanks
[02:22] <pzn> energizer, you are welcome
[02:25] <Tex_Nick> pzn: as far as searching a specific website, you might try using Google's Site Search ... Example: In the Google search bar enter - site:www.imdb.com gravity
[02:28] <Tex_Nick> pzn: you will see that all the results from that search are within the www.imdb.com domain
[02:31] <Ububegin> I had added a ppa (java) to my repository. and Now I have a hard time removeing it.. Here are the steps I have taken so far..
[02:32] <Ububegin> sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:webupd8team/java --- hangs forever..
[02:32] <pzn> hey energizer, take a look into what Tex_Nick wrote. it may help your needs
[02:33] <Nectar> Would installing ubuntu gnome use less space than installing ubuntu and then the gnome shell?
[02:33] <artois> Nectar: an interesting question
[02:33] <Ububegin> Removed the file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[02:33] <Ububegin> apt-key list; apt-key del $ID ; then removed the id for the java ppa.. but when I run sudo apt-get update/upgrade, it is still connecting to java url to download it..
[02:33] <artois> Nectar: they'd both use a lot
[02:34] <bazhang> Ububegin, use ppa purge for that
[02:34] <Nectar> I have 55 gigs available on my hdd
[02:34] <bazhang> !ppa-purge | Ububegin
[02:35] <Milijus> Anybody running mess on 14.4?
[02:35] <Milijus> mess = mesos*
[02:35] <dcope> 0 6 * * * will only run the command one time at 6 AM correct?
[02:36] <artois> yep
[02:36] <Nectar> Is 55 gigs suitable for ubuntu?
[02:36] <artois> dcope: one time a day
[02:36] <artois> Nectar: more than enough
[02:36] <artois> far more
[02:37] <artois> exceedingly more
[02:37] <dcope> artois: yeah, that's what im trying to achieve. just run once at 6 AM every day
[02:37] <artois> nearly twice as much as a thoroughly loaded down power user's system
[02:37] <Tex_Nick> pzn: sorry my friend, I didn't scroll up far enough to see that it was energizer that I should have directed that post to
[02:37] <wileee> Nectar, basic single partition install is maybe 6 gigs, lower really
[02:38] <Nectar> is the 6 gigs for the os?
[02:38] <pzn> Tex_Nick, no problem
[02:38] <Ububegin> bazhang: I am not able to  "sudo apt-get install ppa-purge"  http://pastebin.com/TpF9LU5g
[02:38] <wileee> Nectar, What else would be in one partition?
[02:38] <artois> Nectar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[02:39] <Nectar> i just need to decide how much space i should give for the partition, to include all the programs.
[02:41] <wileee> Nectar, Basic use I would start with 20 gigs, you can resize in general if needed, some make a separate home, I don't one partition here for the os and a swap in another slightly more than the ram amount
[02:42] <wileee> all the programs is your analysis if beyond a basic install in size needed.
[02:44] <Ububegin> How do I clear a ppa from my system. This ppa had some problems as one of it url was down.. But NOW , i cant remove it.. http://pastebin.com/TpF9LU5g
[02:44] <Nectar> wileee, so i can have a seperate home on an external hdd?
[02:45] <wileee> Nectar, This all intended to be external? Be really clear of your intent please.
[02:45] <artois> you can have a sep-a-rate one =)
[02:46] <artois> you can have anything you want, really
[02:46] <Nectar> OS on the SSD and other files on an External
[02:46] <nahtnam> Ububegin: Im not good with ubuntu, but I believe you can remove ppa's from the Ubuntu Software Center
[02:46] <wileee> artois, Please don't make broad statements. It is obvious we are trying to be accurate here.
[02:47] <wileee> Nectar, I would not, even a usb3 external will be slow, your call.
[02:47] <Nectar> thank you
[02:47] <wpkeg> so... weird problem. it seems when i try to use wget or curl or znc on my ubuntu box, nothing resolves anymore. even google.com... yet the websites on the box are running fine. i'm using virtualmin as well if that matters. haven't ever had this issue before.
[02:47] <Ububegin> nahtnam: I am on Ubuntu Server.. there is no Softwware centre
[02:47] <nahtnam> Ububegin: Oh ok, I dont know what do to then
[02:48] <artois> wileee: we were already accurate, though
[02:48] <artois> please try to... keep up? =)
[02:48] <wileee> Nectar, I would store media, docs...in general externally if space is an issue.
[02:49] <wileee> artois, If you don not understand the statement argue with your momma, who takes care of the indigenous and poor. ;)
[02:50] <Ububegin> How do I clear a ppa from my system. This ppa had some problems as one of it url was down.. But NOW , i cant remove it.. http://pastebin.com/TpF9LU5g
[02:50] <artois> well who can argue with that =)
[02:53] <wileee> Ububegin, You have been at variations of this right for at least a day?
[02:54] <Ububegin> wileee: just for the past hour.. :) And also cant seem to install any other software like ppa-purge as well... :S
[02:56] <wileee> Ububegin, If you can't so the ppa never downloaded right, just is in your sources.list.d?
[02:56] <wileee> ignore If you can't
[02:57] <Ububegin> wilee : it didnt even download the first time.. so that's why i wanted to remove it..
[02:58] <wileee> Ububegin, No desktop, just the base/server?
[02:58] <Ububegin> wileee: I have removed the file from the sources.list.d directory.. Yup using the server edition
[02:59] <wileee> Ububegin, Ah, but some where your apt-get got broken? Can we see that if so all commands and output in a pastebin.
[03:03] <Ububegin> wilee : http://pastebin.com/gwgKxmf5 .. it will take some for it to fail..
[03:04] <wileee> Ububegin, Your earlier link looks like you were installing web updates ppa, really a confusing scenario somewhat and honestly none of which supported here, ppa's are your own responsibility.
[03:05] <wileee> Ububegin, We will help on occasion, especially removing, but you have to be on the ball, so we can do tis in maybe 3-4 posts.
[03:05] <Ububegin> wileee: Actually, I just want to remove this ppa shit from my system...  Because of this, I unable to install anything else..
[03:06] <redrum187> I tried to install for the first time Friday, and apparently there was an error after lots of troubleshooting help here.  Ubuntu wasn't showing up in the BIOS and there was no menu to choose between Windows and Ubuntu after startup, just straight to windows.  Ultimately it was recommended that I do a clean install.  I md5 checked tehe iso and set u
[03:06] <redrum187> p a new liveboot drive on a different thumbdrive.  I am currently running Ubuntu live from that disk.  My question is this:  how do I reinstall at this point without making any mistakes?  ie my disk was already partitioned
[03:06] <Ububegin> wileee: sure, i can do that..
[03:07] <wileee> Ububegin, If it is gone from any source.list it is gone, however looks like you probably have broken packages or the cache of the ppa. Lets see all of sudo apt-get update in a pastebin
[03:10] <Ububegin> wileee: no issues at this point... heres the pastebin http://pastebin.com/YZazkZbc
[03:12] <wileee> Ububegin, I will take your word you did not include all of the text, always do that. Now pastebin running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:13] <vsec> vhost /Cloaks
[03:14] <redrum187> From the ubuntu desktop I clicked the install icon and have progressed to a screen that says "This computer currently has Windows Boot Manager and Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on it.  What would you like to do?"
[03:15] <wileee> redrum187, I beleive you were told to use the something else option and use the partitions built, and were given the mount / info etc. This sound familiar?
[03:15] <redrum187> Yes, it sounds familiar.
[03:16] <wileee> redrum187, Totally correct the info given by a top helper here, you have that info on hand, it is in the channels history most likely.
[03:16] <redrum187> EriC^^: are you online?
[03:16] <wileee> redrum187, You want that info is all I mean.
[03:17] <redrum187> I see that info, but I don't know what to do with it/from it.
[03:18] <Ububegin> wileee: http://pastebin.com/FQJbye4z .. the problem appears now
[03:18] <wileee> redrum187, Ah, that is fine, always best to just say that we all stumble in this area. ;)
[03:18] <redrum187> wileee: thank you for your understanding
[03:19] <wileee> Ububegin, I believe the consensus was the proxy was probably the issue.
[03:19] <redrum187> I think EriC^^ would remember/understand more about this situation than I do, but I don't think he's online
[03:20] <wileee> redrum187, No problem, yeah I would have them look again or there are others as well, I'm not really up on UEFI so want to be careful. ;)
[03:20] <Ububegin> wileee: Ok, but is there any way still to remove this ppa ..
[03:21] <wileee> Ububegin, THe ppa is gone, the ppa cache or package cache needs to be cleared in the proxy. Switch to a regular access to se if this is the issue.
[03:21] <Guest90513> I just built a desktop using a ssd to instal ubuntu 14.04, I have two xhds that I removed from their enclosures and plugged into sata3 ports on my mobo. They are partitioned in either fat32 or ntfs because I used them on a windows sys. Is there any way that I can get ubuntu to recognize my files and read/write to the disk?
[03:21] <redrum187> Should I format and install on the sda labeld Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS?
[03:21] <Ububegin> wileee: you mean by-passing the proxy..
[03:21] <wileee> Ububegin, If it is the proxy, that is not our area, you would have to contact them.
[03:22] <wileee> yes bypass, check it in a standard access
[03:22] <Ububegin> wileee: i have 5 servers (all of them in proxy) and only this has this issue..
[03:22] <wileee> redrum187, any sda or sdb is the HD not a partition
[03:23] <wileee> Ububegin, and that means?
[03:23] <redrum187> wileee: so sda7 is not a partition?
[03:23] <wileee> redrum187, you said sda
[03:23] <redrum187> Er, sorry
[03:23] <wileee> redrum187, sda is the HD sda7 is a partition
[03:24] <Ububegin> wileee: that's why I am more confused.. all of the other machines with the proxy have no issue accessing apt-get .. Only this one..  Maybe I messed up some setting sometwhere..
[03:24] <frogdr> should I install 15.04 HdMedia or 15.04 NetInstall?
[03:24] <wileee> Ububegin, Is it the broken package "1 not fully installed or removed." from your dist-upgrade
[03:25] <wileee> Ububegin, YOu continue to not post all of the terminal info, rather frustrating from here.
[03:26] <Ububegin> wileee: Ah.. i have posted everything.. what do u mean.. The only thing, i masked was the proxy url..
[03:26] <Ububegin> wileee: jfyi, I have posted everything..
[03:26] <Blaster> My system is booting into emergency mode after editing my fstab. :(
[03:27] <redrum187> In the installer dialog I show: /dev/sda7   ext4   131GB   5.6GB used    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (14.04)
[03:27] <Blaster> But if I edit it and run mount -a it mounts the new addition fine. So I'm confused.
[03:27] <redrum187> Is this where I should reinstall?
[03:27] <redrum187> and if so, should I format it?
[03:29] <alpha_> I just built a desktop using a ssd to instal ubuntu 14.04, I have two xhds that I removed from their enclosures and plugged into sata3 ports on my mobo. They are partitioned in either fat32 or ntfs because I used them on a windows sys. Is there any way that I can get ubuntu to recognize my files and read/write to the disk?
[03:29] <alpha_> Also I just checked my bios and i have two extra hdds installed. 1 is a 1tb and the other a 2tb
[03:29] <alpha_> only the 2tb is being recognized by the bios so is there also a way to run a disk check like on windows?
[03:30] <jeremyflexer> Hey I got a pretty old computer. AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+. 1024MB DDR2 667 RAM. Some nvidia card I don
[03:30] <jeremyflexer> should i use gnome?
[03:31] <jeremyflexer> or kde or xfce or lxde or something?
[03:31] <redrum187> I tried to install on sda7 where it says Ubuntu is already installed and it said no root directory is known
[03:32] <wileee> redrum187, The way your doing this leaves you with the chance for people to just comment, who do not know the issue, I remembered it exactly, you want someone like that or a detailed description to work from
[03:33] <wileee> redrum187, You have your cart about a mile in front of you horse. ;)
[03:33] <redrum187> Thank you for the feedback.  I'm not sure how I should form my questions, or what the correct questions are to ask.
[03:35] <wileee> redrum187, Like this basically W8 install, did not know UEFI install scenario, advised to do a reinstall using same partitions from something else (manual) install. Not sure of the instructions in this area.
[03:37] <wileee> redrum187, Note not to detailed, but captures the essence of info needed to start with for a helper to have a general image.
[03:39] <wileee> anyway hope all this helps, we want you to succeed!!!
[03:39] <redrum187> I am using a manufacturer installed win8.1 laptop.  Friday I installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS from a liveboot disk.  After troubleshooting, it was discovered that a file in /sys/firmware/efi was missing or damaged. I started over from scratch and want to confirm how I am reinstalling at this point (from livebooted Ubuntu).
[03:39] <redrum187> Me, too.
[03:39] <redrum187> Thank you for the support.
[03:40] <wileee> redrum187, THe mention of the oem is excellent, good job. ;)  no problem helping
[03:41] <niranjan> Hi, on 14.04, it was working fine until I got last update. After that wifi stopped working.
[03:41] <wileee> redrum187, ON the average the help you want is around in about 3 hours more or less, not a specific person, a hand full of helpers actually
[03:42] <redrum187> Followup:  My primary issue is that Ubuntu does not show up in the BIOS boot order menu, nor does GRUB appear, regular boot defaults to windows.
[03:42] <redrum187> Ok, good to know.
[03:43] <friedmicro> redrum187, I'm currently running a dual-boot with Windows 8 as well...what's the manufacturer of the laptop, some of UEFI implementations are different
[03:43] <friedmicro> ?
[03:43] <redrum187> Asus
[03:43] <wileee> redrum187, Be careful with additional info, put everything in each post, your basic just need to reinstall is the issue, that last post, will have people trying to fix what we know is broken. What happens is if you spread the info around it's hard top follow is all for some of us.
[03:44] <wileee> top=to my bad
[03:44] <wileee> redrum187, You are doing fine though, I will leave you alone, heh.
[03:45] <redrum187> No problem, I appreciate genuine feedback.
[03:47] <friedmicro> redrum187, I'm not going to give a recommendation that might break something...I'm afraid I don't have experience with Asus, but as wileee said earlier a reinstall is your best bet. Just don't accidentally erase Windows in the process.
[03:47] <niranjan> Ubuntu 14.04 wifi stopped working. lshw command shows output *-network UNCLAIMED
[03:47] <niranjan>                 description: Network controller
[03:47] <niranjan>                 product: AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
[03:47] <jeremyflexer> So can anybody help me determine if my computer can run 14.04.2 GNOME?
[03:48] <redrum187> That's all I'm really trying to confirm.  I have made sure to select "bootloader installation" to the one labeled ubuntu (based on the disk size I know this is correct) but it returns an error saying no root filesystem detected.
[03:48] <friedmicro> jeremyflexer, what are your specs?
[03:48] <redrum187> *defined not detected.
[03:48] <jeremyflexer> One second friedmicro.
[03:48] <neonixcoder> How can I remove all locale(Including all files associated) from my machine expect en_AU?
[03:49] <jeremyflexer> Let me pastebin dmidecode.
[03:51] <jeremyflexer> http://pastebin.com/Pr3d1R4S @friedmicro
[03:53] <friedmicro> @jeremyflexer, I wouldn't recommend it...you can always try though
[03:54] <jeremyflexer> @friedmicro What about KDE?
[03:55] <drvenom>  I installed linux on a second drive so that I can dual boot with windows 10. After the install I was getting the grub rescue screen. I tried to fix it with ubuntu boot-repair app. I can now boot into mint linux, but I cannot boot into windows; the boot menu does not show windows.
[03:56] <cfhowlett> !mint | drvenom
[03:56] <drvenom> Oh ok sorry, my apologies.
[03:56] <drvenom> I'm new to linux, so I thought it was a part of ubuntu.
[03:56] <friedmicro> @jeremyflexer, it tends to even more system resources than Gnome...
[03:56] <roasted> Does anybody notice on 14.04 at times that their keyboard shortcuts just flat out don't work until you log out and back in? I'm trying to find a fix for it but most of the results I find are for much older Ubuntus.
[03:57] <cfhowlett> !flavors | drvenom, if it's on this list of flavors, it's ubuntu and supported here.  if not ... sorry
[03:57] <jeremyflexer> Damn. I would do XFCE but it's harder to make pretty haha.
[03:57] <friedmicro> @jeremyflexer, there's Awesome WM you could try...basically you can script the entire thing (or find someone else's)
[03:58] <poison_> ss
[03:59] <friedmicro> @jeremyflexer, it's just a Window manager though
[03:59] <jeremyflexer> @friedmicro Yeah I used to use awm on debian
[04:00] <jeremyflexer> Is there an older version of Ubuntu that is LTS and still active?
[04:00] <jeremyflexer> That doesn't use as many system resources?
[04:00] <jeremyflexer> Because 14.04 is GNOME3 right?
[04:00] <friedmicro> @jeremyflexer, nice another fellow Debian person...14.04 is Unity by default
[04:00] <cfhowlett> !12.04 | jeremyflexer,
[04:02] <jeremyflexer> @friedmicro @cfhowlett @ubottu Thanks guys I will give 12.02 a try.
[04:02] <jeremyflexer> 12.04*
[04:03] <friedmicro> @jeremyflexer, anytime...that's why we're here
[04:03] <cfhowlett> happy2help!  jeremyflexer
[04:03] <jeremyflexer> Good night for the moment.
[04:04] <friedmicro> @jeremyflexer, I think it might be worth mentioning Unity 2D is on 12.04 and should work well
[04:05] <jeremyflexer> @friedmicro Is this it with Unity 2D? http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
[04:06] <redrum187> wileee: do you know the nicks of any of the people you were referring to earlier?
[04:07] <jeremyflexer> ubuntu-12.04.5-desktop-i386.iso to be specific?
[04:38] <channman> i'm having trouble accessing my USB flash drive. I want to make a bootable usb but i can't do anything with it
[04:39] <wileee> channman, What have you tried, and how is it formatted?
[04:39] <channman> wileee I have tried using gparted. how  do I tell you how it's formatted?
[04:40] <wileee> channman, was hoping you knew. ;)
[04:40] <wileee> like is it a fat32, ntfs, linux ext...etc
[04:41] <wileee> an apple formatted usb
[04:41] <channman> well in gparted it says unallocated but it is acting as a readonly folder
[04:41] <wileee> channman, is it unmounted?
[04:42] <channman> wileee as of now yes
[04:42] <wileee> channman, So it says unallocated, is there anything that was there that you need?
[04:43] <channman> wileee nope, can wipe it
[04:44] <wileee> channman, So go to the top and click on make a new partition table, accept msdos, after that finishes, make a fat32 run  it and it should be good to go.
[04:44] <wileee> new table just to be sure we have a basic fresh table is all
[04:46] <channman> wileee i am able to do the new table and msdos, but when I choose fat32 it gives me an error
[04:48] <wileee> channman, Can you say the error or would a picture of it be easier, I like a pic, to see the whole thang?
[04:49] <OneMatt> Is there a lubuntu help channel, or can I ask here?
[04:49] <ethMiner> is xfce a hard DE for begginers
[04:49] <Matt_teni> ethMiner, xfce is pretty goo
[04:49] <wileee> OneMatt, lubuntu is part of the channel support
[04:49] <Matt_teni> nothing 'hard'
[04:49] <ethMiner> Matt_teni: whats the hardest for begginers
[04:49] <OneMatt> Ah, thank you.
[04:49] <Matt_teni> ethMiner, i3 i would say
[04:50] <Matt_teni> cascading and tiling widow manager ethMiner
[04:50] <ethMiner> Matt_teni: ill get that then
[04:50] <grandpppp> Matt_teni: xfce is best
[04:50] <OneMatt> My box will not see a HDD that I have, and refuses to even properly boot with that HDD inserted.
[04:50] <channman> wileee can i post an imgur link with my screenshot
[04:50] <Matt_teni> ethMiner, good luck :-)
[04:50] <OneMatt> Oddly enough, it works fine if I put it into a centos 6.6 machine. Any ideas?
[04:50] <Orbits> i was trying to run OBS which is experimental anyway (it's a program for streaming) and everything would work except when I streamed the screen was just black on the stream... I read someone else having the same problem and they were told to try to switch drivers... so I tried to switch drivers and now OBS just crashes when I open it and it won't l
[04:50] <Orbits> et me select the original driver i was using :(
[04:50] <Matt_teni> grandpppp, yup i really like XFCE
[04:51] <wileee> channman, All this has to have the usb unmounted, cool on a pic
[04:51] <grandpppp> OneMatt: try changing bios/efi settings
[04:51] <channman> wileee https://imgur.com/aRUlp8U
[04:51] <OneMatt> Already have cycled through all settings, no luck.
[04:52] <OneMatt> The BIOS can see the HDD, as can all the other machines in the house, just not this one, but even then, only when it has l ubuntu on it.
[04:52] <wileee> channman, show me gparted with that closed showing the usb you're working on.
[04:53] <wileee> just the gparted gui as opened
[04:53] <grandpppp> OneMatt: sometimes fstab needs modification. Try using uid
[04:53] <OneMatt> Um. How would I do that?
[04:54] <channman> wileee https://imgur.com/8Bj2uIL
[04:55] <grandpppp> OneMatt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[04:55] <wileee> channman, So you went to device-create new partition table and clicked yes on the msdos default?
[04:55] <OneMatt> Ah, thank you.
[04:56] <channman> wileee yes
[04:56] <channman> wileee that works fine
[04:56] <OneMatt> Odd, it is not even seeing the disk under /dev/sd**
[04:56] <grandpppp> OneMatt: sometimes if the uuid is messed up it will not boot properly.
[04:56] <Orbits> and every time i try to redownload the driver i get "Can't find a source to download version '2:14.201-0ubuntu2.1' of 'fglrx-updates:amd64" but everyone else online says that fix works
[04:57] <bishes414> how can i view the connected USB device name?
[04:58] <wileee> channman, Strange it should wipe the usb, the error is rather strange I have no idea. As an easy test I would unplug the usb, plugin unmount and try the table then the partition again.
[04:58] <channman> wileee how exactly do i unmount?
[04:58] <OneMatt> Ah.
[04:58] <OneMatt> That might do it.
[04:59] <wileee> channman, You are now, gparted will do it for you on gthe plugin, shutdown gparted before you do any.
[04:59] <bishes414> I tried ls /dev and it lists all USB devices but how do I know which one is the one connected? Plz help.
[04:59] <OneMatt> For some reason, the filesystem of this drive is "promise_fasttrack_raid_member".
[05:00] <wileee> channman, you can unmount the usb if it is, probably is not mounted, as an unalocated
[05:01] <grandpppp> Matt_teni: sudo blkid what does that say
[05:01] <Matt_teni> not sure
[05:01] <Matt_teni> im on unity as for now
[05:02] <grandpppp> Matt_teni: type sudo blkid in the terminal
[05:03] <wileee> channman, Sorry m=not the best description, since it is unallocated it should not mount, so unplug plugin, make sure not mounted and do the table a partition again. My bad.
[05:03] <channman> ok i just did table
[05:04] <channman> wileee do I unplug now or create partition?
[05:04] <wileee> channman, nah, just wanted to start as fresh on  this again as a tewst.
[05:04] <wileee> test*
[05:05] <channman> ok wileee so create now?
[05:05] <wileee> channman, Yeah, also are you in a live environment or install doing this?
[05:05] <channman> install.
[05:06] <wileee> cool
[05:06] <channman> i get the same error after trying to make a fat32 partition wileee
[05:06] <wileee> channman, has there been an automount for it in fstab or anyplace?
[05:07] <channman> this sticks out to me wileee "unable to open /dev/sdb1: device or resource busy"
[05:07] <channman> wileee i'm not sure how fstab works
[05:07] <wileee> channman, yeah me to, I just wonder if it is automounting an unallocated.
[05:09] <wileee> channman, I have to go do a job for a little while so have top go. let me give you the bots fstab info, it is the mounting config for partitions.etc
[05:09] <wileee> !fstab | channman
[05:09] <channman> wileee thank you for the help
[05:10] <wileee> channman, No problem, unless fried this is fixable, probably a dd clean maybe not sure reall, you need better help. ;)
[05:12] <OneMatt> Ok, still having an issue.
[05:13] <OneMatt> It will not install lubuntu if the drive is connected, in fact it just had a kernel panic....
[05:17] <OneMatt> However, it appears to work fine if the drive is a) not connected b) only connected after boot.
[05:17] <OneMatt> Any ideas?
[05:18] <agent_white> Evenin'
[05:18] <OneMatt> Hello!

[06:57] <Anthaas> Hi guys, I have my local machine, outside of all networks, a network I want to SSH into, and a machine within that network I want to SSH into, I can only get to the internal computer through the outer network.
[06:58] <Anthaas> I have SSH public key set up to get into the outer network, and have created a key to get to the internal computer
[06:58] <Anthaas> However, whenever I try to use ssh user@host, I am told to enter the password for the key - is there any way I can get the outer network/server to remember this password? Seems somewhat pointless otherwise
[07:00] <cowbacon> Anthaas: ssh-agent http://mah.everybody.org/docs/ssh
[07:02] <Anthaas> cowbacon: Thanks Ill look into this now
[07:03] <mappo_> disconnect
[07:09] <starkiller> hey i need advice :(
[07:09] <redrum187> Backup and reinstall.
[07:10] <redrum187> Just kidding, I know nothing.
[07:10] <starkiller> lol
[07:10] <wafflejock> !ask | starkiller
[07:11] <starkiller> im looking for a program that would help my xubuntu share its hardrive via ftp
[07:11] <wafflejock> starkiller, does it have to be ftp what about scp?
[07:11] <starkiller> i just want to use it on filezilla lol
[07:11] <wafflejock> starkiller, you can use FTP but by itself it's not secure so credentials can be pretty easily sniffed along with the traffic
[07:12] <ikonia> starkiller: an ftp server then
[07:12] <starkiller> im just wanna use it locally  so i can keep up to date my laptop and my desktop
[07:13] <ikonia> then you want an ftp server
[07:13] <starkiller> do i need to have a separate computer to make an ftp server?
[07:14] <redrum187> !patience | me
[07:14] <wafflejock> starkiller, filezilla supports sftp
[07:15] <wafflejock> starkiller, if it's just on a local network rsync is a good option
[07:16] <starkiller> thank you wafflejock , i been doing it on android with my cell to laptop and i love it, im gonna check that program right now :P
[07:16] <wafflejock> starkiller, it uses SSH and will allow you to resume a synchronization, if you want something more hands off than dealing with an rsync script you could use some cloud sync or something like that too
[07:16] <wafflejock> starkiller, believe there are some guis for it too like grsync I think is one
[07:16] <wafflejock> starkiller, otherwise it's just a terminal command source, destination and some options
[07:19] <starkiller> wafflejock i got this quicksyngery it helps me share my mouse and keyboard between computers :) its so usefull :)
[07:20] <wafflejock> starkiller, nice yeah I've heard of a few of those but never got one that worked well for me cross platforms, now I just have dual monitor coming out of my laptop thx for the tip though
[07:21] <wafflejock> starkiller, but yeah if you just have openssh installed on the computers then you should be able to use filezilla to connect from one to the other
[07:22] <carpediembaby_> Hello. I have an NTFS partition that I would like to share between a windows and ubuntu installation. I am having problems with permissions.

I looked it up here http://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition
[07:22] <starkiller> yea wafflejock , I got this music folder and i want the same librery and all 3 of them, but i dont wanna go arround with the usb, im trying to get all of them connected, and the programs u recomended are gonna help me alot thanks
[07:23] <wafflejock> starkiller, actually I'm over thinking this maybe too could try just browsing your network you may be able to just use the file browser if it's all stuff on a LAN
[07:23] <carpediembaby_> and it seems I have to have some user mapping file. I also note that the disk is mounted but there is nothing in /etc/fstab ... could someone tell me what is the best way to handle this?

[07:24] <wafflejock> seacaptain, that's not a very clear explanation
[07:25] <seacaptain> well, I tried setdomainname in xubuntu, but it is only a scripted construct not a command, how can I set a domainname for the local host?
[07:29] <wafflejock> seacaptain, what are you trying to set the domain for?
[07:30] <agent_white> seacaptain: What do you mean? Domain name of what?  Or are you trying to set the hostname?
[07:30] <wafflejock> seacaptain, you'll need external DNS records pointing to the machine for it to matter most of the time
[07:30] <seacaptain> for a local domain ...
[07:30] <wafflejock> for what purpose?
[07:30] <agent_white> ^
[07:30] <wafflejock> connecting to windows servers?
[07:30] <wafflejock> mail server?
[07:30] <wafflejock> web server?
[07:30] <agent_white> seacaptain: Be less vague with your question, please.
[07:31] <seacaptain> no, just for to connect to a local domain
[07:31] <seacaptain> how would you edit these records, is it in hostname file in /etc ?
[07:33] <boris> hello
[07:34] <agent_white> !elaborate | seacaptain
[07:35] <wafflejock> seacaptain, /etc/hosts
[07:36] <wafflejock> seacaptain, see, man hostname, for some details but that's what it says for a FQDN, but other settings are needed depending on what you're doing
[07:36] <seacaptain> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11991477/
[07:37] <seacaptain> ok tnx wafflejock

[07:50] <seacaptain> Obfuscate Omidian
[07:55] <wafflejock> lrs_, in a terminal do sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
[07:55] <wafflejock> lrs_, then run alsamixer
[07:56] <wafflejock> lrs_, check that the levels are up and none of the outputs have MM (muted) below them, if they do select them and hit M to unmute
[07:56] <wafflejock> lrs_, you may need to F6 to select the sound device first
[07:58] <lrs_> wafflejock, It said that i had to do
[07:58] <lrs_> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[07:58] <lrs_> So i did that
[07:58] <lrs_> BNow when i do apt-get installa alsa utils...

[08:03] <wafflejock> lrs_, try, df -h
[08:03] <wafflejock> lrs_, I'm curious about the out of space message at the top
[08:04] <lrs_> Alsamixer starts tho
[08:04] <lrs_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11991576/
[08:05] <techkamar> hi
[08:06] <wafflejock> lrs_, yeah disk is pretty low on space there too, not sure if it's complaining about running out of space on /boot or the main mount point
[08:06] <lokany> i need help for resize window when i start programs such as.. terminal, or any
[08:06] <wafflejock> lrs_, anyhow yeah in alsamixer F6 to choose device
[08:07] <wafflejock> lrs_, make sure none are muted
[08:07] <wafflejock> lrs_, if that looks okay can use aplay to test playing a sound file in the terminal, this way can rule out any pulse audio problems/config
[08:07] <seacaptain> allow options in settings to lock ICHcpu
[08:08] <lokany> when i run program - terminal or any, i always need to resize window. when i close the program, i get default resize window and i need to do the same process again and agian
[08:08] <Gh0st-> 22 is default port ?
[08:08] <l1n3x> how does one boot a usb via grub?
[08:08] <Gh0st-> for SSH?
[08:08] <lrs_> c-media usb headphone set
[08:08] <lrs_> hmmm
[08:09] <lrs_> Yeah its ok
[08:09] <lrs_> auto gain control 00
[08:09] <wafflejock> Gh0st-, yeah
[08:09] <Gh0st-> wafflejock: Not sure why I can't connect it though
[08:09] <Gh0st-> even though I have reinstalled the ubuntu on my VPS
[08:09] <Gh0st-> :/
[08:10] <wafflejock> Gh0st-, make sure your firewall settings on the VPS allow your connection on port 22
[08:10] <lokany> can someone help me?
[08:10] <Gh0st-> how would I check that?
[08:10] <l1n3x> i can
[08:10] <wafflejock> Gh0st-, depends on your VPS provider
[08:10] <l1n3x> maybe :)
[08:10] <Gh0st-> interserver in this case
[08:10] <lokany> l1n3x, do you understand my question about resize window - program?
[08:11] <l1n3x> errr i just drooped in so fill me in on whats happening
[08:12] <lrs_> wafflejock, No problem there
[08:12] <lokany> l1n3x, ok. i have issue about resizeing window every time. when i open some programs such as: terminal, or any other, i have default size every time, what ever i do - manualy resize, when i start program next time it is default again..
[08:12] <wafflejock> lrs_, okay try aplay, can google for the exact command basically aplay afile.wav
[08:13] <l1n3x> that’s default behaviour
[08:13] <techkamar> hello
[08:13] <wafflejock> Gh0st-, https://interserver.net/resolve/Knowledgebase/Article/View/298/0/using-putty-to-ssh-to-server you can use nmap to scan the ports on your domain to see that 22 is open looks like they don't have a firewall on the outside by default
[08:13] <lrs_> aplay and what command
[08:13] <l1n3x> however
[08:13] <techkamar> is der any way to recover a file deleted in ubuntu?
[08:13] <Gh0st-> wafflejock: thanks
[08:14] <l1n3x> yea
[08:14] <techkamar> how?
[08:14] <somsip> !undelete | techkamar
[08:14] <lokany> l1n3x, is it possible to stop that default process?
[08:14] <techkamar> tanks ll check it out
[08:15] <kreazulle> Hi all. I have a chrooted Ubuntu 12.04 (3.0.101-novafusion+) running on my Samsung S3 mini and I would like to have a functional Arduino UNO v3 connected on the USB. The problem is that I have no /dev/ttyUSB on ubuntu. when I try "modprobe  usbserial product vendor" I got: "Could not load /lib/modules/3.0.101-novafusion+/modules.dep". Can anyone help please? PS: I`m kinda noob to ubuntu ... and english
[08:15] <l1n3x> yes
[08:15] <lokany> l1n3x, is this yes for me?
[08:15] <somsip> !behelpful | l1n3x
[08:16] <l1n3x> open a topic on ubuntu forum it probably requires X tweaking or something with compiz ect
[08:16] <lrs_> wafflejock, I change the driver in the gui in ubuntu
[08:16] <lrs_> and the ndo aplay
[08:16] <lrs_> nothing...
[08:17] <wafflejock> lrs_, aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav
[08:17] <lrs_> wafflejock, Yeah i downloaded a file
[08:17] <lrs_> Nothing
[08:17] <lrs_> It plays in my stereo if i pick it
[08:17] <lrs_> not the usb thing
[08:18] <wafflejock> lrs_, are you trying it with aplay?
[08:18] <lrs_> In the gui i can choose digital output (S/PDIF(
[08:18] <lrs_> And headphones
[08:18] <lrs_> Bith have audi adapter under them
[08:18] <lrs_> And when it owrked, i could pick any onef them
[08:18] <lrs_> wafflejock, Yeah
[08:20] <wafflejock> lrs_, what's the USB device, can try lsusb
[08:20] <wafflejock> lrs_, lsusb should list the device id
[08:21] <wafflejock> lrs_, can try searching that with your ubuntu version to see if there is some known bug maybe a workaround or something
[08:21] <niee> hi folks. anyone to help me please. i want to update my google chrome. my source list is too old and not want to update.

[08:23] <njr> Hi. My ubuntu 12.04 system looks like it's in dependency hell.... When I try to install openssh-server https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c85086de178276461a39.
[08:23] <wileee> no biggie ;)
[08:23] <njr> Any ideas how to debug?
[08:24] <somsip> l1n3x: and your advice is incorrect. Again, if you can't fully answer the specfic request, leave it to someone else to help
[08:24] <lrs_> l1n3x, Me?
[08:24] <wafflejock> lrs_, there are some google results if you use that number after the ID just try to find the one that matches your version of ubuntu and situation most closely
[08:24] <niee> l1n3x: http://pastebin.com/NgaQQr1v.
[08:25] <wafflejock> sorry gotta get to bed lrs_, good luck getting the headphones hooked up
[08:25] <lrs_> wafflejock, thx http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/10/04/how-to-get-usb-sound-adapter-0d8c000c-working-as-primary-sound-card-in-debian-linux/ the one on this pic is eactly the one i got
[08:26] <lrs_> i wil lsee if it works
[08:26] <lrs_> ty
[08:27] <l1n3x> did you try sudo apt-get install -f? @njr
[08:27] <lrs_> okkkkkk fuk. its probably some kenrel shit
[08:27] <lrs_> gahhhh
[08:27] <lrs_> fml
[08:28] <somsip> niee: you want to update chrome-stable and it's being held back? Do 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
[08:28] <l1n3x> wont that update to 15.04 if he's on 14.04 or lower? @somsip
[08:29] <niee> someone: no. i dont want to upgrade my sustem. i want this version.
[08:29] <wileee> no
[08:29] <somsip> l1n3x: no, that's do-release-upgrade
[08:29] <l1n3x> oh my bad
[08:29] <somsip> niee: what version of ubuntu are you on?
[08:31] <niee> somsip: i use 11.04
[08:32] <somsip> niee: that's not supported, so you will struggle to upgrade.  It won't install anything but will let you check. And what lordievader says - old, unsupported version are not safe
[08:41] <lordievader> niee: Neither do I, hence I switched to Kubuntu ;)
[08:42] <bq_> agent_white: is it a bash feature?
[08:43] <agent_white> bq_: A feature from `cron`.
[08:44] <bq_> agent_white: but how bash recognize @?
[08:44] <username1> exit
[08:45] <bq_> @hourly
[08:45] <Luyin> hi, I can't log onto my ubuntu machine anymore. 14.04 LTS. after password entry it just sticks there. I can move the cursor, but that's it. VT login works. I've been looking at the logs, but don't quite now what to look for.
[08:46] <lordievader> bq_: It is cron who parses that, not bash.
[08:47] <systemDcba> Luyin: try ctrl-alt f1 then ctrl-alt f6 or f7
[08:47] <Luyin> systemDcba doesn't help, tried that already
[08:48] <agent_white> systemDcba: What's up with that PM?
[08:48] <systemDcba> Luyin: create another user
[08:49] <bq_> lordievader: how does cron do that behind?
[08:49] <agent_white> systemDcba: Don't answer questions if you aren't attempting to be helpful, please.
[08:49] <lordievader> bq_: Pff no idea, read the source code.
[08:49] <systemDcba> Luyin: unity is corrupt probably
[08:50] <systemDcba> Luyin: did you recently install a graphic driver
[08:52] <Luyin> systemDcba no I didn't. hang on, trying to add the new user
[08:52] <agent_white> systemDcba: Did you ask him to view the logs for his window manager? Check X11 logs?
[08:52] <agent_white> systemDcba: Debug logs? Any other logs?
[08:53] <bq_> lordievader: for this to work, cron needs to check each input after return
[08:54] <lordievader> bq_: Err, what? Cron just executes what ever is behind @hourly every hour.
[08:54] <Luyin> agent_white I viewed them, but as I said don't know what exactly to look for. I can provide them as a paste, though, if that helps
[08:54] <agent_white> Luyin: It would help.
[08:55] <Luyin> agent_white hang on a sec!
[08:55] <agent_white> bq_: Cron will run a job/script, even if it fails. Your script needs to check to ensure it is working.
[08:55] <agent_white> Cron only is there to schedule  it.
[08:55] <systemDcba> Luyin: ctrl-alt f 4 rm -r ~/.config
[08:55] <systemDcba> rm -r ~/.compiz
[08:55] <systemDcba> sudo restart lightdm
[08:56] <agent_white> systemDcba: Lightdm starts the xserver.
[08:57] <systemDcba> agent_white: maybe remove corrupt desktop config files.
[08:58] <agent_white> systemDcba: How do you know they are corrupt?

[09:00] <Luyin> systemDcba I won't remove a directory full of configs just because I can't log in
[09:02] <systemDcba> Luyin: askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears
[09:05] <Luyin> systemDcba I get this: https://bpaste.net/show/741db8ab0507
[09:06] <systemDcba> Luyin: I gave up on unity and use XFCE.
[09:06] <systemDcba> Luyin: install xfce
[09:08] <k1l> Luyin: did you change something with python? another version from a PPA or such?
[09:08] <Luyin> systemDcba this is no solution. first, it isn't my own computer, so I won't change the UI for its owner, and second it doesn't solve the problem
[09:08] <agent_white> Luyin: Ignore systemd0wn, please. Otherwise your issue could be exacerbated.
[09:08] <agent_white> erm
[09:09] <agent_white> systemDcba is trolling. Ignore his advice.
[09:09] <k1l> Luyin: log into a tty1 and look with ls -al what is owned by root:root
[09:09] <Luyin> agent_white I see
[09:09] <agent_white> Luyin: k1l has you covered :)
[09:09] <cfhowlett> Luyin, long story short: sounds like your issue is fixable.  slow down, take your time and consider carefully the advice you follow
[09:09] <Luyin> k1l http://paste.ubuntu.com/11991818/ nothing unusual afais
[09:10] <Luyin> k1l I didn't change anything with python, no
[09:10] <k1l> Luyin: ok the important ones are .Xauthority etc and that are owned by the user. so its not that easy fix
[09:11] <k1l> Luyin: what says the .xsessin-errors ?
[09:11] <Luyin> k1l http://paste.ubuntu.com/11991828/
[09:12] <Luyin> there could be something with this line: "mktemp: failed to create file via template ‘/tmp/config-err-XXXXXX’: Permission denied" for I did make a change to fstab to make /tmp a tmpfs
[09:13] <k1l> yep, that could be the reason
[09:14] <texasmad_> i minimized xchat to tray on my other laptop and i can't find the icon
[09:14] <texasmad_> how do i fix that?
[09:14] <cfhowlett> texasmad_, try alt tab  to switch
[09:15] <k1l> Luyin: what is the line in fstab?
[09:15] <texasmad_> doesn't show up
[09:15] <texasmad_> but it's running
[09:15] <k1l> texasmad_: should be in the systray in the "mail"icon menu
[09:16] <nothingmuch> g_byers: 10:05 vs 10:11 ;-)
[09:16] <nothingmuch> g_byers: sorry wrong channel, wrong nick ;-)
[09:16] <Luyin> k1l https://bpaste.net/show/9ba8b152cf40 and fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11991841/
[09:16] <cfhowlett> Luyin, are you logged in as root?
[09:17] <texasmad_> that's the issue. there is no mail icon.
[09:17] <Luyin> cfhowlett not at the moment
[09:17] <silver> hello
[09:18] <k1l_> Luyin: are you sure about the noexec and mode?
[09:18] <Luyin> k1l I got it from the archlinux wiki afair. I wouldn't issue such things myself
[09:19] <Luyin> on my own machine, which is the one I'm currently connected with, I got "tmpfs    /tmp    tmpfs    nodev,nosuid	0	0"
[09:19] <Hilton> Hi, sorry this is long, figured I'd get it all out at once. After getting tired of my kid's inexplicable ability to get Windows infected with dozens of programs despite every attempt to lock it down, I've decided to 'introduce' them to Ubuntu... but I can't get their accounts to work. I initially set up their accounts without passwords, intending to have them log in and set their own. I then...
[09:19] <Hilton> ...changed my mind and set passwords for them all, but none could log in. Research found they were all part of a 'nopasswdlogin' group or something; I removed them all from that group, but NOW Ubuntu simply says "Invalid password." at all times, right password or not. This does not happen on the two admin account.
[09:20] <k1l_> Luyin: yes, that looks better for a start
[09:20] <Luyin> k1l so I'm going to try remove anything else than that wich works for me and reboot?
[09:20] <cfhowlett> Hilton, TWO admin accounts?
[09:21] <Hilton> I even tried deleting and recreating all their accounts, with no change. Note that if I use su in a terminal window, or switch to a TTY console, I can log in to their accounts just fine.
[09:21] <Hilton> cfhowlett: Set my wife as administrator so she could make policy changes to things like Timekpr without needing MY password.
[09:21] <cfhowlett> Hilton, :)  niiiiiice.
[09:22] <Hilton> Finding a version of Timekpr that worked on 14.04 was a task in itself... 300,000 references to the original that stopped working at 11.x, 1 reference to someone else's updated version that works on 11-15.
[09:23] <Hilton> So, this is strictly a GUI problem not letting the standard accounts log in with the right password. Why!?
[09:24] <Luyin> cfhowlett k1l_ agent_white removing everything but nodev,nosuid did the trick, thanks a lot!
[09:24] <cfhowlett> Luyin, congrats on the fix!
[09:25] <Guest23617> Hi all, I'm trying to lessen the amount memory used by my chef-runs. A first big change that helps a lot is the use of the partial_search api. It seems a lot of memory gets used by shell's inside the recipes as wel,
[09:25] <Luyin> now I feel so stupid for adding these options to fstab :D
[09:25] <Guest23617> is there a clean way to dispose of the shell's data when the needed data is extracted?
[09:25] <somsip> Guest23617: definitely one to ask the chef experts
[09:26] <Guest23617> somsip: you are correct, thanks
[09:28] <Hilton> cfhowlett: Any idea on why the GUI rejects the passwords? I looked for another group, but the only group they are part of is their own name (i.e. user name morgan, in group morgan).
[09:28] <phre4k> when will Kernel 4.1 land in LTS?
[09:28] <TJ-> Any suggestions as to why Firefox (or the gtk theme/library) is magnifying all its user interface elements, whereas Chromium (using the system settings) is rendered at normal DPI (see http://imgur.com/x4yuvZb) ?
[09:28] <cfhowlett> Hilton, sorry, no idea.  I'm on Ubuntustudio so I have XFCE4, not ubuntu/unity.
[09:28] <texasmad_> still no mail icon. It's just gone.
[09:30] <k1l_> phre4k: the nest release with a 4.X kernel will be 15.10, and after that release there will be the backports kernel from 15.10 after some time.
[09:30] <k1l_> !enablementstack | phre4k
[09:32] <phre4k> thanks k1l_!
[09:33] <nabdev> hi, can i have some help to booting to my laptop ? after using boot-repair , i have this log : paste.ubuntu.com/11991635

[09:37] <kreazulle>  Hi all. I will repeat my earlyer and hope I don`t break any rules. I have a chrooted Ubuntu 12.04 (3.0.101-novafusion+) running on my Samsung S3 mini and I would like to have a functional Arduino UNO v3 connected on the USB. The problem is that I have no /dev/ttyUSB on ubuntu. when I try "modprobe  usbserial product vendor" I got: "Could not load /lib/modules/3.0.101-novafusion+/modules.dep". Can anyone help please? PS: I`m kinda
[09:38] <texasmad_> fixed it
[09:38] <texasmad_> had to get the topicons extension
[09:39] <TJ-> kreazulle: That output suggests the kernel has no additional modules built, or if so, the module dependency info usually found in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.dep isn't there  for the android build
[09:40] <texasmade> heh
[09:41] <kreazulle> Ty TJ. Any sugestion on how to bypass this problem?
[09:42] <TJ-> kreazulle: Build a full kernel from the novafusion sources with the exact same version and config and make it available to the Ubuntu chroot
[09:42] <akik> kreazulle: can you run depmod -a which updates the modules.dep ?
[09:43] <johelish> Today when I got back from work and was going to access my samba folder over the network everything was empty. So I sshed to my server and when I try to ls my directory it says "@backup-serverrummet:/media/backup$ ls ls: läser katalog .: In/ut-fel" which means "reading catalog, in/out-error". I've tried to reboot the system but without success... what can I do? :(
[09:43] <TJ-> akik: there is *no* kernel/modules for the chroot, it's hosted on an Android host
[09:44] <akik> ok
[09:44] <Ben64> johelish: input/output error usually indicates a hardware problem
[09:45] <johelish> Ben64: That's not very promising. The harddrive can't have broken down can they?
[09:46] <Ben64> johelish: it can, you should check
[09:46] <funkt1> Hi there I seem to have a very weird problem. I have installed xampp and I have a localhost. The problem I am having is I cannot seem to add any folders and even weirder the folders I have removed are still completely intact every file in place even though there is no folder whatsover in htdocs. I have tried through 3 different browsers and all claim to have the files even though they do not exist has anyone ever come across this problem?
[09:46] <kreazulle> akik I get FATAL Error with no such file or directory. TJ ty again. Aparently I cannot escape what I have feared (building a full kernel)
[09:47] <TJ-> johelish: /media/backup/ suggests the samba share is on another file-system. Check the device that is hosted on, or do a file-system check. Also, first review any I/O errors in "/var/log/kern.log"
[09:48] <bazhang> funkt1, xampp is not supported here, use lamp
[09:48] <bazhang> !xampp | funkt1
[09:48] <funkt1> so anyone here who can help me?
[09:48] <TJ-> kreazulle: You could explore the novafusion host directories to find other kernel modules, in case they are there but need mapping/copying into the chroot. On android do "find / -type f -name '*.ko' "
[09:48] <bazhang> see above funkt1
[09:48] <funkt1> I have!
[09:49] <bazhang> funkt1, there are links on how to get lamp going, please read
[09:49] <johelish> TJ-: There's three discs in the system. One is for the operative system and the other two and for /media/ which we use for share
[09:49] <funkt1> I dont like lamp
[09:49] <nabdev> any help to boot to my laptop  :/
[09:49] <bazhang> funkt1, ask in ##linux for xampp help then, its not supported here
[09:49] <funkt1> I Just need some help with xampp
[09:49] <funkt1> ok
[09:49] <nabdev> boot repair : paste.ubuntu.com/11991635
[09:49] <funkt1> ##linux
[09:50] <k1l> funkt1: then ask the xampp guys for support
[09:50] <bazhang>  /join
[09:50] <funkt1> yeah like thats gonna happen
[09:50] <cfhowlett> funkt1, they are the experts.  we are not.
[09:51] <funkt1> I understand that but it may take months If I even get a response at all there maybe someone here out off allll these people on this channel and it may simply be a chmod issue or something?
[09:51] <funkt1> anyway not here to explain myself
[09:51] <bazhang> funkt1, its simply not supported , please stop asking here
[09:51] <cfhowlett> funkt1, https://www.apachefriends.org/community.html  lots of support options
[09:52] <funkt1> cheers!
[09:52] <lobo_nz> Hi, Im trying to upgrade an old server from Lucid to Precise and have many errors like this "No candidate ver:" all the things I have tried have not fixed those errors yet, any ideas on what to do?
[09:53] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | lobo_nz,
[09:53] <kreazulle> TJ: Done that and I got a list of .ko: bthid, dhd, exfat_core, exfat_fs, hwreg, j4fs, param, rng-core, scsi_wait_scan, vpnclient.
[09:53] <johelish> Ben64: Is it possible that just the symlink is gone? With fdisk -l I can see the hdds but I don't know how to access them
[09:54] <TJ-> kreazulle: So the module(s) you need aren't there. That confirms you'll need to build that same kernel with the required module(s) enabled.
[09:54] <Ben64> johelish: check dmesg for errors
[09:55] <lobo_nz> ubottu: thx
[09:55] <lobo_nz> ubottu: Im getting in now before you take over the world
[09:56] <nils13> hi,
[09:56] <nils13> is it possible to have help on vsftpd here ?
[09:57] <Ben64> nils13: the best thing you can do with vsftpd is uninstall it and use sftp instead
[09:57] <cfhowlett> nils13, possible but only if you give copious details.  telepaths use Miley Cyrus OS
[09:57] <kreazulle> TJ: Just to be on the safe side, I need to build a new ubuntu image or do I have to have a new Android rom that has the modules? Again kinda noob
[09:57] <nils13> ok, will sftp work with Filezilla ?
[09:58] <Ben64> nils13: google says yes
[09:59] <nils13> ok, I found something googling sftp and understood sftp work only with command line, I was wrong, ok, I remove vsftp and install sftp ... thanks
[09:59] <nils13> thank you Ben64
[09:59] <Ben64> all you need is a ssh server for it, theres no package called "sftp"
[10:01] <TJ-> kreazulle: You'd need to build the exact same kernel but with the config options for the modules you need also enabled. Then you can install those modules into the chroot. I'd *think* the first thing to try would be check-out the android kernel at the same commit as the installed kernel, identify the modules you need, run "make xconfig" to add the modules you'll need, then try to build. If you're new to kernel hacking this will be a tortuous experience due to the
[10:01] <TJ-> differences between android and mainline/Ubuntu kernels, and the workflow required, so put aside several days to master it :)
[10:02] <nils13> Ben64: I have openssh-server installed, then how do I install sftp if there is not package named sftp ?
[10:02] <Ben64> you're already done
[10:03] <kreazulle> TJ: Ty for your time and patience. Hopefully after this experience I wil call myself lessnoob :)
[10:03] <nils13> Ben64: ok, I have a Filezilla connexion, I can write in my home dir, but still cannot write on /var/www/html/somedir
[10:04] <Ben64> you should be able to write anywhere you user can
[10:04] <nils13> the user I am using, is the first user created when Ubuntu server install
[10:04] <Ben64> can you write to /var/www/html/somedir using that user
[10:05] <nils13> Ben64: in a terminal, I use sudo to write anywhere, then, what about FTP via Filezilla ?
[10:05] <dpnux> Hi, is there any application on Ubuntu to see what an application doing such as create new folder and settings?
[10:06] <Ben64> nils13: you could add your user to the group of the directory, you could take ownership of the directory, theres a few ways to do it
[10:07] <nils13> Ben64: I can write anywhere using sudo in a terminal, and look likes sudo is not available via Filezilla
[10:07] <Ben64> correct
[10:09] <nils13> Ben64: yes, I tried, adding nils to root group, but it does not work, I would like nils to be able to write any where, so I do not want to change all dirs "rights" (don't know the english word)
[10:09] <Ben64> don't add to root group, undo that
[10:09] <Ben64> and its for security that you can't write anywhere as a normal user
[10:10] <nils13> Ben64: ok, already deleted, as it did not work
[10:10] <Ben64> i think /var/www is owned by www-data or something like that
[10:10] <Ben64> you can add your user to that group
[10:11] <nils13> Ben64: then ?, do I have to create a special user for FTP ?, and how I give this user rights to write anywhere ?
[10:11] <Ben64> you don't. read what i said about security
[10:12] <TJ-> nils13: If you "adduser $USER www-data" you'll also need to allow the "www-data" group *write* access to "/var/www/" and sub-dirs
[10:13] <nils13> ok, I do not understand how to do this ?, allowing one user to write anywhere via FTP, with a strong password ?, not good ?, same issue as ssh connexion as root, no ?
[10:13] <Ben64> you don't need to "write anywhere" over ftp sftp or anything really
[10:14] <TJ-> nils13: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/19898/whats-the-simplest-way-to-edit-and-add-files-to-var-www
[10:14] <th3_4dm1n> hello world
[10:15] <th3_4dm1n> well fuck you too
[10:15] <nils13> TJ, this is a brand new Ubuntu server install, and what I can see, is all www dir belong to root, should I change all this to www-data ?
[10:15] <nils13> ok Ben64
[10:17] <TJ-> nils13: /var/www will be owned by root, but the entries in it, and sub-dirs, should be owned by "www-data"
[10:18] <nils13> Ok TJ- , I changed chown www/* to www-data:www-data
[10:19] <pragomer1> how can I do a setting... that allows me executing bash scripts on (all) ntfs partitions I use ?
[10:19] <nils13> I've seen I have a user and a group named www-data
[10:20] <nils13> now, should I add user nils to group www-data ?, I try ...
[10:21] <TJ-> nils13: As far as I recall, "/var/www/html/" is the DocumentRoot for apache, and that already is owned by "www-data"
[10:21] <nils13> no, not enough, still cannot write in /var/www/*
[10:21] <nils13> TJ-: yes, you are right, this is the case
[10:21] <Ben64> you do need to re log in in order to have the group stiff to take effect
[10:21] <Ben64> group stuff*
[10:22] <TJ-> nils13: /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf:12:       DocumentRoot /var/www/html
[10:22] <nils13> ok Ben64 , re log via Filezilla, right ?
[10:23] <TJ-> nils13: do "sg touch /var/www/html/hello.txt" and you should see the user has write permissions
[10:23] <nils13> no, I re log in Filezilla, but still cannot write in /var/www/
[10:25] <TJ-> nils13: you have to set write permissions for the group. The default is read-only. "chmod -R g+w /var/www/html"
[10:27] <nils13> TJ-: "sg touch ..." says touch group does not exist, if I touch a file, via ssh, as I did sudo bash, the file will belong to root, I have a test file, that belong now to www-data:www-data
[10:27] <nbusrone> hi , I wonder why after updated nvidia driver my brightness got reset every restart ?
[10:27] <nbusrone> how to permanent set brightness of nvidia ?
[10:27] <nils13> TJ-: yes I can see, group can only read, I change it ...
[10:29] <nils13> TJ-: it works !!!
[10:31] <TJ-> nils13: sorry, the 'sg' commmand needs the group name, too. It's just a good way to test without needing to log-out/log-in, as in "sg www-data touch /var/www/hello.txt"
[10:31] <nils13> ok, to summary, no special FTP server is needed, ssh + ftp (native) is enough, user nils do not need to belong to www-data group, right ?
[10:32] <nils13> ok TJ- for sg, I understood
[10:32] <TJ-> nils13: user permissions will require any user that wants write access to /var/www/html/ to be a member of www-data group
[10:37] <nils13> TJ-: yes, I tried, add/remove me from www-data group, it works as you describe it, so thank you very much for your help !
[10:37] <nils13> and Ben64 as well, thanks !
[10:38] <nils13> when I ps aux | grep ftp I can see /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server, that means openssh has its own ftp server ?
[10:38] <nils13> installed when I apt-get install openssh-server ?
[10:40] <TJ-> nils13: see "man sftp"
[10:41] <nils13> ok TJ-
[10:43] <nils13> TJ-: man does not tell me if sftp comes with openssh ?, is it a "basic" package of ubuntu server ?
[10:43] <nils13> I do not remember to have installed sftp by myself
[10:45] <Luyin> nils13 why should sftp have something to do with openssh?
[10:46] <k1l_> nils13: it does
[10:46] <nbusrone> how to permanent set brightness of nvidia ? for desktop ?
[10:46] <k1l_> install openssh-server and you have sftp access too on that machine
[10:46] <Guest77105> hi
[10:46] <nils13> Luyin: I don't know ?, I try to understand, because of the S ?
[10:47] <nils13> k1l_: so sftp comes with openssh install, right ?
[10:47] <Luyin> nils13 no it doesn't.
[10:49] <Guest77105> do you know an application for hacker a instagram account (sorry for bad english)
[10:49] <Ben64> not here
[10:49] <nils13> Luyin: ok, so it comes with Ubuntu server, without having to install it manually ?
[10:50] <Guest77105> xx_Kr0nUs_xx: an application for hacker a instagram account?
[10:50] <cfhowlett> !hacking | Guest77105, no and we are not going to help you hack anyones account
[10:51] <nils13> What I checked while installing Ubuntu server was : openssh server / LAMP server / Mail server, anything else, so, sftp comes with one of these choice, or with Ubuntu "native"
[10:53] <XDS2010> Will this work?:  http://ctrlv.in/614573 , keep in mind i'm already splitting the connection in the basement (possibly multiple times) after the coax comes out of the FIBER junction box. The GSH-3F is basically just a glorified splitter with a 3.5db + two 7db outputs, it has a 5mhz to 1000mhz tag on it. HTPC=Ubu box
[10:54] <cfhowlett> XDS2010, the ubuntu box should work.  as far as the other stuff, no way we would know.  ask ##networking
[10:54] <nbusrone> I had enable brightness contro l at Device section Option         "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1",  what else I need to do set it permanent brightnes to -30 ?
[10:55] <k1l_> nils13: sftp comes with openssh-server isntall, yes
[10:55] <k1l_> nils13: _server_ is the important part here.
[10:56] <XDS2010> cfhowlett:  best guess on the other stuff ?
[10:56] <nils13> Luyin: when I dpkg -l *ftp* I can read openssh-sftp-server package is installed, so it should had been install with openssh-server install I suppose, as I did not installed it by myself
[10:56] <cfhowlett> XDS2010, best *advice* = ask the networking folks about network issues.
[10:56] <Ben64> cfhowlett: he's just been going around to a bunch of channels asking it
[10:57] <k1l_> nils13: if you install a server image openssh-server is already installed. since that makes sense on a server.
[10:57] <nils13> k1l_: ok, I understand now why it works, and why I don't need vsftp or proftp
[10:58] <XDS2010> cfhowlett:  ok thanks ill hit up that channel
[10:59] <nbusrone> cfhowlett : I had enable brightness contro l at Device section Option         "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1",  what else I need to do set it permanent brightnes to -30 ?
[11:00] <cfhowlett> nbusrone, sorry. no idea.  I do try to avoid responding to (the many) things I lack experience with.
[11:00] <nbusrone> cfhowlett : ok thanks :)\
[11:01] <shaun_> hello
[11:03] <nils13> is it possible to hide "has quit" /  "has joined" lines from here ?
[11:04] <cfhowlett> !quietirc | nils13
[11:04] <nils13> ok ubottu
[11:05] <nils13> ok, thank you all for your help, I continue setting up my server ...
[11:08] <cfhowlett> nils13, you DO now about #ubuntu-server channel??
[11:11] <nils13> cfhowlett: no I did not know there was an #ubuntu-server channel, I did not find it, when I had a look on Google for Ubuntu irc channels
[11:11] <nils13> ok, I am going to #ubuntu-server
[11:12] <cfhowlett> !server | nils13
[11:14] <nils13> thanks ubottu
[11:14] <silver_310> Hello o/
[11:14] <nils13> ubottu: yes it is the release I installed on my server
[11:17] <silver_310> hoping someone can help me, i installed Ubuntu server 14.04 as a virtual machine on server 2012 R2. gave it a static IP, i can ping other machines from Ubuntu, but when i try to ping it from a windows machine i always get a response from a different IP, when i ping the VM from the host though it responds with the correct IP
[11:17] <starkiller> wafflejock
[11:17] <silver_310> is this an issue with the DNS server or the Ubuntu installation?
[11:18] <starkiller> hey
[11:18] <ashiq-ak> HI. EriC^^
[11:19] <ashiq-ak> Problem solved I guess EriC^^
[11:19] <EriC^^> ashiq-ak: hi
[11:19] <EriC^^> great
[11:19] <EriC^^> how did you solve it?
[11:19] <ashiq-ak> Had to install win back :(
[11:19] <ashiq-ak> 'EriC^^
[11:19] <EriC^^> oh ok
[11:19] <starkiller> waffffffle joke:P
[11:20] <frizmann> At the end he says Ubuntu wit hthis pronounciation: /oobanto/ (http://youtube.com/watch?v=yX8yrOAjfKM)
[11:20] <ashiq-ak> Tell me which is best Linux OS for My system EriCC^^
[11:20] <ashiq-ak> EriC^^
[11:20] <starkiller> xubuntu :P
[11:20] <EriC^^> ashiq-ak: whichever one you like best
[11:20] <frizmann> Which one is correct: /ooboontoo/ or that one?
[11:21] <starkiller> proben for 4 years in alll my 4 computers xubuntu :P
[11:21] <ashiq-ak> I have 2gb ddr3, intel i3-2365 clocked@just 1.4Ghz EriC^^
[11:21] <starkiller> from pentium 4 to  core i 5
[11:21] <EriC^^> ashiq-ak: i think it can handle anything
[11:22] <ashiq-ak> :)
[11:22] <BotchlaB> ashiq-ak: If you want an Ubuntu flavor that doesn't hog resources, try Xubuntu or Lubuntu.
[11:22] <ashiq-ak> thats true. i was using win server 2012 before lol EriC^^
[11:23] <ashiq-ak> hog Resources means? BotchlaB
[11:23] <BotchlaB> As in, it doesn't use too much CPU or RAM to function.
[11:23] <BotchlaB> Since you don't have much to spare.
[11:24] <starkiller> i try lubuntu on an acer one really small  laptop  but xubuntu if you want a replacement for windows vista  8 or 10 :P
[11:24] <Guest380> hi guys
[11:24] <Guest380> i just installed gnome on vivid vervet
[11:24] <Guest380> it looks exactly like kali sana
[11:24] <Guest380> feeling disappointed
[11:25] <starkiller> well i have xubuntu too because i fell it has the most variaty in programs just as close as ubuntu :P
[11:27] <spoon_of_destiny> hello
[11:28] <starkiller> i just made my xubuntu an fta server so now i can get any file from my lap to my desktop with no cables using filezila :P
[11:28] <phre4k> starkiller, why not SFTP?
[11:28] <jpds> starkiller: Why not rsync?
[11:28] <starkiller> because im doing it localy:P
[11:28] <spoon_of_destiny> i have a quick question about which file system to use on an install im doing for my dad. I typically use ext4, but im reading that btrfs is better. What are your opinions?
[11:30] <starkiller> no need fot rsyc just type  filezila ip adress and user name and im in my laptop getting what in need:P
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> spoon_of_destiny  "better" depends on what ypu prefer and on how skilled you are ... you'll find more support for ext4
[11:30] <OerHeks> spoon, 1700 opinions ?
[11:30] <ring3> hi
[11:30] <OerHeks> !btrfs | spoon_of_destiny
[11:30] <ring3> today my copy-paste doesnt work ...
[11:30] <ring3> on the terminal
[11:31] <ring3> yesterday i used the middle buton click
[11:31] <ring3> i also tried ^insert and ctrl+^c
[11:31] <ring3> but doesn't wor
[11:31] <starkiller> is it ctrl }+ atl  = c  or v on terminal :P?
[11:32] <ring3> doesnt work
[11:32] <spoon_of_destiny> anyone's opinion here really hahaha. the thing is i like to learn by trouble shooting, but my dad isn't very technical with computers. He is just going to use it for email, browsing, and the likes. I read that btrfs can rollback if you break something so i thought that might be better for my non-techie dad. Is that a correct assumption to make?
[11:32] <k1l_> ctrl+shift+c
[11:32] <ring3> this makes a ^c
[11:32] <k1l_> ctrl+c will cancel the running command
[11:32] <ring3> yes
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> spoon_of_destiny  there's also #btrfs
[11:33] <ring3> yesterday all this worked
[11:33] <starkiller>  right click paste :P?
[11:33] <frizmann> http://youtube.com/watch?v=yX8yrOAjfKM ---> /oobanto/ or /ooboontoo/?
[11:34] <spoon_of_destiny> :o i'll check that out then as well, thx MonkeyDust

[11:56] <digi_> Hello :D
[11:57] <Freiza> hi
[11:57] <Freiza> this is my first time on irc
[11:58] <digi_> and me :)
[11:59] <digi_> Freiza can you use ubunutu well ?
[12:00]  * OerHeks googles ubunutu
[12:00] <jpds> Nothing beats umbungo
[12:01] <Freiza> using for 2+ years
[12:02]  * khax has been using ubuntu since 2011
[12:02] <digi_> hey mans why you don speak
[12:02] <digi_> ?
[12:03] <Freiza> about...
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> digi_  this is the support channel, type /j #ubuntu-offtopic for nice social chat
[12:03] <jpds> digi_: Basically having 1723 people talking at random would be bad
[12:03] <digi_> ok
[12:04] <digi_> sorry because i dont know rules well first time on irc
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> digi_  that's why i'm telling you
[12:05] <OerHeks> digi_, read the topic & channelrules before entering :-)
[12:07] <oli> hey
[12:09] <Freiza> i read the guidelines, and what are bots anyway
[12:13] <OerHeks> Bots are network-scripts, with a single purpose.
[12:13] <k1l_> we try to keep this channel for support only, so people with ubuntu issues could be helped best. for chat we have the other channels like #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:14] <molgrum> hmm, i can print a test page alright with my printer but i cannot print a page from thunderbird, what could be wrong?
[12:15] <molgrum> libreoffice also works
[12:27] <space_milk> anyone else getting the stupid advertisement for #chan or is it just me?
[12:27] <MonkeyDust> space_milk  what is your ubuntu question?

[13:18] <Silenced_v2> Guys. I am using wine right now . And its clashing with my GPU drivers. So can i uninstall wine right now ? Will the installed applications work ?
[13:19] <lokany>  someone knows here how to resize windows permanentrly. what ever i do and start program again, i get default size-resize?
[13:21] <pbx> Silenced_v2, windows applications will not function if wine is not installed, no
[13:22] <MonkeyDust> lokany  in dconf-editor maybe
[13:22] <pbx> but you can uninstall wine, yes
[13:22] <lokany> MonkeyDust, pls can you be more specific?
[13:23] <lokany> MonkeyDust, where in dconf-edito i can find for window 'decoration" or something similar?
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> lokany  you can use ctrl-f to find any useful keyword
[13:23] <lokany> MonkeyDust, ok, i will try! thanks
[13:24] <Silenced_v2> pbx: Suggest me something that's similar to wine
[13:30] <pbx> Silenced_v2, there is nothing similar.  if you want to run windows applications under linux your options are 1) wine or 2) a VM (e.g. virtualbox) running windows
[13:31] <Silenced_v2> pbx : What about play on linux ?
[13:31] <pbx> Silenced_v2, that's built on top of wine
[13:32] <Silenced_v2> So is there any way i could prevent wine from conflicting with my GPU drivers
[13:33] <MonkeyDust> Silenced_v2  try #winehq
[13:33] <pbx> Silenced_v2, not that i know of. but i'm not a gamer so i haven't pushed the limits at all. i agree, join #winehq
[13:33] <Silenced_v2> MonkeyDust: Already in it man :P
[13:33] <MonkeyDust> Silenced_v2  then why are you asking here?
[13:34] <Silenced_v2> MonkeyDust: They aren't replying . So thought someone here might know
[13:35] <OerHeks> is it wine conflicting gpu drivers? or are your settings in the game too high ..
[13:35] <OerHeks> i think last one

[13:43] <onla> Hey. I made a ubuntu 15.4 live cd with lili on windows. But when I look at the directory it shows empty, but the usb stick shows though that it is taking some 1.5gb space
[13:43] <Pici> !fr | securite
[13:45] <Amoz> onla, that's a feature
[13:45] <Amoz> http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/features
[13:46] <Amoz> "Hidden installation: LiLi hides the Linux installation, your USB key stays clean"
[13:46] <onla> yepyep o
[13:46] <Amoz> so they probably create a smaller partition for the live-FS and let you use the rest as a FAT/NTFS fs
[13:50] <frenda> Is it possible to grap a part of video. For example the origin one is 1920x1080, grabing it to 720x480; I don't mean `converting to 720x480`; Like the time you take a snapshop of part of your desktop

[13:59] <OerHeks> !wine
[13:59] <TunaFish> daily or beta chromium build for 14.04 how can I get? Other than this ppa:saiarcot895/chromium-dev ?

[14:00] <gopan__> but where do i get the skyrim installation file from?? Is the torrent downloadable version of any use??
[14:00] <Pici> gopan__: if you don't mind the download, you might be able to put your skyrim cd-key into steam's "activate non steam game" option.

[14:41] <andol> Just noticed that the http://releases.ubuntu.com/vivid/ FOOSUMS don't maps towards their corresponding FOOSUMS.gpg signatures. Even looking at the mtime the FOOSUMS are newer than the signature files.
[14:41] <andol> Any suggestion on where/how to best report that?
[14:42] <Abhijit> nvm. it requires me to change boot manager from bios.
[14:44] <yossarianuk> Hi - is it possible to use unattended updates - e.g ->> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html, but only updating specified packages ?
[14:44] <yossarianuk> I know you can prevent certain packages being installed...  Just wondering if you can make it so only specified packages are automatically updated.
[14:45] <OerHeks> !pinning
[14:46] <yossarianuk> hi - not sure if pinning is right here - i'm used to pinning as I have a debian laptop and use various packages from backports
[14:46] <yossarianuk> its the automatic updates I mean
[14:46] <yossarianuk> i.e I want only one package to be auto updated
[14:47] <yossarianuk> you can specify packages to blacklist updating -> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html
[14:47] <yossarianuk> But want to blacklist all but one...

[14:56] <bitcoinassassin_> Hi. I used to back up my Ubuntu install using tar - and could restore it fairly easily. This doesn't seem to work so well any longer - and wondering what people use to do a back up of your total system (minus the various directories you do not want)? Thanks.
[14:57] <Amoz> bitcoinassassin, btrfs snapshots or rsync
[14:57] <molgrum> cfhowlett: yeah that worked
[14:57] <cfhowlett> molgrum, take a look at your settings in thunderbird
[14:57] <onla> is there a disk formatting utility on ubuntu 15.4 live cd? or can I install one if I have persistent ubuntu live cd
[14:58] <bitcoinassassin> Amoz - I've thought about rsync. So if I used rsync I imagine I'd reinstall the basic OS and then update via rsync?
[14:58] <cfhowlett> molgrum, specifically <page setup>
[14:58] <onla> I need to wipe 1TB disk totally and it has mbr and boot partitions and many other partitions
[14:58] <onla> so I would boot from usb live and then totally wipe with some tool like gparted maybe?
[14:58] <daftykins> onla: you don't need persistence to install an app in a live session, yes it comes with one
[14:59] <onla> ok cool thanks
[14:59] <molgrum> cfhowlett: thanks, i set it to a european standard instead of US and now it works
[14:59] <daftykins> onla: what are you trying to achieve? you could go nuclear with a full zero fill if you so wish
[14:59] <cfhowlett> molgrum, 'tis magic, innit?
[14:59] <molgrum> :D
[15:00] <onla> daftykins: how I would do that?
[15:00] <bitcoinassassin> onla: I used to use http://www.dban.org/ to wipe a drive. Overwrites everything - mbr, partitions, etc.
[15:00] <Amoz> bitcoinassassin, you can backup everything as long as you exclude the non-FS parts of the tree I Believe.
[15:00] <peetbog> onla "man shred"
[15:01] <Amoz> bitcoinassassin, but yeah, I usually want a clean install when I do mine, so I have a separate /home partition because of that. And if I backup, I just do a rsync on /home.
[15:01] <daftykins> onla: what're you trying to do, first?
[15:02] <onla> yea I am selling a pc and it currently is dual booting windows and ubuntu so I just want to wipe them all. it has 1tb hd in it wit multiple partitions
[15:02] <bitcoinassassin> Amoz - I'm more interested in cron jobs and software installed and configuration of those. My data is somewhere else entirely so that's not an issue.
[15:02] <mircx1> !find libre2-1-dbg
[15:02] <onla> the buyer is putting ssd disk in the pc and install OS to that ssd
[15:03] <jayjo> I'm trying to install gradle, and the docs say "For running Gradle, add GRADLE_HOME/bin to your PATH environment variable. Usually, this is sufficient to run Gradle."
[15:03] <mircx1> :\ this for ubuntu14?
[15:03] <jayjo> So do I place the zip file somewhere in particular and then add a path variable?
[15:03] <OerHeks> !find libre2-1-dbg trusty
[15:03] <bitcoinassassin> onla: then forget about dban. it doesn't work on ssds.
[15:03] <onla> that dban looks good but they are hosting files on sourceforge and doesnt indicate ubuntu version there
[15:03] <Amoz> onla, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=4M will wipe *everything* on the sdx drive.
[15:04] <OerHeks> mircx1, no, vivid. but we have been here before, haven't we?
[15:04] <onla> not wiping ssd disk, just old hd
[15:04] <daftykins> onla: yeah just run as Amoz says essentially
[15:04] <bitcoinassassin> onla: you create a boot disk that will boot into dban's utilities - and wipe from there. Ubuntu version doesn't matter.
[15:04] <onla> in any case I should wipe from live usb stick or dvd?
[15:04] <daftykins> live USB for the easiest
[15:05] <Amoz> onla, doesn't matter at all, whatever you have available works equally fine imo
[15:06] <onla> but if I run that cmd on ubuntu that is running on the hd that it will wipe
[15:06] <bitcoinassassin> onla: they're saying you need to boot from a live ... whatever... usb, cd, dvd
[15:07] <bitcoinassassin> I believe this is what they're saying, anyway
[15:07] <onla> sounds kinda shady input some mysterious command, when I could just delet partitions from gparted on live usb stick though. Is this command method better against trying to retrieve data like dban?
[15:07] <Amoz> onla, the partition deletion will not clear the actual data
[15:07] <Amoz> it will just remove the partition layouts
[15:07] <onla> and with this dd command I am not breaking the hd either I guess
[15:08] <Amoz> no
[15:08] <onla> and it will be detected and I can format it later, ok
[15:08] <Amoz> detected? format?
[15:08] <bitcoinassassin> onla: for the record, dban doesn't retrieve data; is free erasure software
[15:08] <daftykins> onla: deleting partitions doesn't do a thing.
[15:08] <Amoz> the dd command I wrote will clear the whole disk, write zeroes *everywhere*
[15:09] <bitcoinassassin> Amoz: but from a live usb or dvd, right?
[15:09] <onla> after that dd, when the buyer goes to some partition manager, he can see the 1tb disk, and he can choose to format it as ntfs or ext3 or such?
[15:09] <daftykins> onla: yeah because it's a hard disk...
[15:09] <daftykins> it doesn't stop being a hard disk
[15:09] <onla> yea I dont want it to erase the data on that live usb, but the hard disk
[15:10] <Amoz> onla, when you're in a live environment, /dev/sda is *probably* your USB drive
[15:10] <bitcoinassassin> funny
[15:10] <daftykins> Amoz: nope
[15:10] <onla> okay, so I shouldnt run the command then with /dev/sda but replace that with the path to the 1tb disk
[15:10] <Trudko> Hi guys I am returning my laptopt back to shop and I want to delete user from it. How can I do that without having to create different user and delete the main one from there?
[15:11] <mircx1> OerHeks you can please explain to me how i can fix this in ubuntu14 -pipe -fPIC -DPIC -pedantic -Woverloaded-virtual -Wshadow -Wformat=2 -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wall -O2 -g1 -Iinclude -DMODNAME=m_antibotctcp.so -fPIC -shared -rdynamic
[15:11] <cfhowlett> Trudko, go into your admin account and delete the other user
[15:12] <bitcoinassassin> onla: yes, you need to run the command with the path to your 1tb disk or whatever else you want to erase
[15:12] <daftykins> onla: just run "sudo parted -l" on live session boot to confirm which disk is which
[15:13] <Trudko> cfhowlett: how do I go into admin account when I only have one account which I want to delete?
[15:13] <OerHeks> mircx1, nope. you might want to ask in #mircx on undernet for build support, their homepage does not give any clue either
[15:13] <Amoz> Trudko, boot recovery mode, that way you get root
[15:14] <bitcoinassassin> Trudko: because you have an admin account and a user account?
[15:14] <onla> on the ubuntu itself there the 1tb is /dev/sda at least, I gonna backup some files before booting live cd
[15:15] <bitcoinassassin> onla: backing up is always wise and should be mandatory
[15:15] <Trudko> bitcoinassassin: actually I have only one now
[15:16] <bitcoinassassin> Trudko: you have only one what?
[15:16] <Trudko> account
[15:16] <bitcoinassassin> Trudko: One user account?
[15:16] <Trudko> I guess I can just format whole drive anyway
[15:16] <Trudko> yeah
[15:17] <bitcoinassassin> Trudko: which is what you want to delete, correct?
[15:17] <Trudko> yes
[15:17] <bitcoinassassin> Well what the others have told you is correct - about how to remove that.
[15:17] <daftykins> an account won't stop your data being there
[15:18] <Trudko> daftykins:  yeah I realize that I should just format the whole drive
[15:18] <Trudko> I mean the laptop is faulty I am getting my money back so they dont care if the original software is on it
[15:19] <daftykins> Trudko: yep so same advice as above if it's a mechanical hard disk, boot a live session, run dd
[15:19] <daftykins> what's up with it?
[15:19] <bitcoinassassin> Trudo: what daftykins said. You want to erase / overwrite the drive - not just delete an account.
[15:19] <daftykins> *facepalm*
[15:19] <bitcoinassassin> ha
[15:20] <daftykins> bitcoinassassin: having you in here confirming every statement is going to get very spammy.
[15:20] <bitcoinassassin> :-) apologies
[15:23] <newMeta> I would like to try kde on a ubuntu 14.04 install. How can I do so without installing native kde apps like open office, etc?
[15:23] <Amoz> bitcoinassassin, yes as daftykins said, it's gonna get very spammy ;)      (joke)
[15:25] <daftykins> newMeta: #kubuntu might help
[15:26] <newMeta> no, I don't want to install a complete distro flavor for it, daftykins
[15:26] <cfhowlett> newMeta, sudo apt-get install kde-plasma
[15:26] <newMeta> cfhowlett, that package includes kde native apps like konquerer, office, etc
[15:27] <cfhowlett> newMeta, false.  GUI only
[15:27] <cfhowlett> newMeta, kubuntu-desktop is the metapackage you're thinkingof
[15:28] <newMeta> oh ok, because I checked kubuntu desktop on synaptic, maybe thats why, cfhowlett
[15:28] <cfhowlett> newMeta, don't feel bad.  I was still wrong.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE
[15:29] <vubuntor> after update to Windows 10 on EFI computer, I can't boot into Ubuntu LiveUSB anymore...can someone help me?
[15:29] <cfhowlett> newMeta, (iii) kde-plasma-desktop
[15:29] <OerHeks> newMeta, it is --without install recommends - http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/kde/kde-plasma-desktop
[15:30] <newMeta> --without install recommends? Is it a parameter, OerHeks?
[15:30] <raj__> fix lunchingpad error 404
[15:30] <OerHeks> vubuntor, that makes me think of one thing: disable FASTboot ( not secureboot) in windows, and try again
[15:30] <OerHeks> newMeta, no, that is what that package is.
[15:30] <vubuntor> already disable fastboot and even secureboot
[15:30] <daftykins> vubuntor: i bet you just need to change the boot device from 'Windows Boot Manager' -> your hard disk/SSD inside your EFI.
[15:31] <kulelu88> what is the shortcut to create a new file?
[15:31] <kulelu88> ctrl + shift + n = new folder
[15:31] <OerHeks> touch /path/to/file
[15:32] <kulelu88> OerHeks: is there nothing with a keyboard in a GUI window?
[15:32] <vubuntor> @daftytins correct, I'm stuck with that Windows Boot Manager things, I won't let me boot into anything else(Ubuntu LiveUSB, even Windows USB)
[15:32] <daftykins> vubuntor: you're saying there's no other entry?
[15:32] <vubuntor> No other
[15:32] <OerHeks> kulelu88, mouse right click, new folder or new document
[15:32] <vubuntor> only that WBM
[15:32] <kulelu88> OerHeks: I know that. I'm looking for a keyboard option
[15:32] <daftykins> vubuntor: are you sure that it's not under a hard disk priority section which supplies the Windows Boot Manager entry? sometimes that's the case
[15:33] <onla> Amoz: why bs 4M? I saw google many uses smaller size there
[15:33] <OerHeks> kulelu88, nope, not available.
[15:33] <OerHeks> ( in nautilus, that is)
[15:33] <onla> will dd 1tB /dev/sda take a long time?
[15:33] <vubuntor> I even move WBM entry to the bottom on the boot order
[15:33] <Amoz> onla, you write it in 4MB chunks
[15:34] <kulelu88> what about XFCE?
[15:34] <Amoz> onla, a HDD is very slow latency wise, so it's good to put big blocks of data to the write queue at the same time
[15:34] <daftykins> onla: yes quite a while.
[15:34] <onla> does it matter in what chunks I should write there? guess not
[15:34] <Amoz> onla, if you put 4K it will be much slower afaik
[15:34] <daftykins> 2M or 4M doesn't matter
[15:34] <onla> quite a while with 4M = 1h or 5h?
[15:34] <OerHeks> kulelu88, if the panel menu gives no shortcut, then find out howto make that yourself
[15:35] <daftykins> onla: more than tht
[15:35] <daftykins> *that
[15:35] <kulelu88> Thanks OerHeks
[15:36] <vubuntor> daftykins: you knows what's wrong?
[15:36] <Amoz> onla, 70MB/s ~ 4h or something
[15:36] <Amoz> that is , if I calculated correctly
[15:36] <daftykins> vubuntor: er as in you found it or you're still not sure?
[15:37] <daftykins> Amoz: i hope you factored in the speed from start to end of disk :P
[15:37] <daftykins> vubuntor: i'd boot a live session and chroot the install, then run update-grub perhaps
[15:37] <Amoz> daftykins, if he uses dd of=dev then it will be very close to linear access I think.
[15:37] <vubuntor> daftykins: i didn't found anything, other entries in the bios/uefi settings are blank.
[15:37] <vubuntor> daftykins: the point is i can't even boot into any live sessions
[15:38] <EriC^^> vubuntor: why not?
[15:38] <vubuntor> UEFI blocks me because it sticks with the WBM,  no other entry
[15:38] <EriC^^> is the usb first in the boot order?
[15:38] <daftykins> vubuntor: shutdown from Windows properly first, "shutdown -s -t 1"
[15:38] <Amoz> vubuntor, so you can't even get to a boot-menu by ESC of F2 or delete ?
[15:39] <vubuntor> Amoz: i did get boot menu,but the only entry on that menu is Windows Boot Manager, no entry for USB or DVD
[15:39] <onla> maybe that shred is faster shred -n 5 -vz /dev/sda
[15:40] <vubuntor> daftykins: isn't that the same to disable fastboot?
[15:40] <daftykins> doesn't hurt to try in case something is funky
[15:40] <daftykins> i think you have bigger problems if your flash drive isn't showing up in a boot menu
[15:40] <Amoz> onla, it will definitely not be faster.
[15:40] <vubuntor> I will try and come back later
[15:41] <EriC^^> vubuntor: there's also fastboot in the bios, if it's enabled disable it
[15:41] <daftykins> onla: waste of time, 3 users gave you the same advice - you should take it.
[15:41] <vubuntor> daftykins: this is the biggest problem since my computer is EFI only,no legacy.
[15:41] <Amoz> onla, 5 times rewriting and a zeroing out in the end. That will take about 24h at least.
[15:41] <vubuntor> EriC^^: my bios has no fastboot option
[15:41] <EriC^^> vubuntor: try a different usb port
[15:42] <onla> lol
[15:42] <Amoz> also, you're not selling it to the NSA, are you onla?
[15:42] <EriC^^> ^ valid point
[15:42] <onla> 10¹²/(80·10⁶) = 12500 seconds = 3.47 hours:
[15:43] <yossarianuk> vubuntor: my machine has the same issue sometimes, if I  reboot and re-insert the USB stick it normally shows up.
[15:43] <onla> but where is the chunk size taken into account
[15:43] <daftykins> onla: why do you keep saying chunk? if you mean the bs= then that's blocksize, thus it has a name
[15:44] <onla> oh ok
[15:44] <daftykins> your write speed on a hard disk slows from start to end, so no point calculating it as a fixed figure
[15:44] <daftykins> anyway all this time spent talking about it, you could be running it...
[15:44] <onla> I am moving files atm :p
[15:44] <onla> but very soon done
[15:45] <onla> it doesnt matter how many files I have there I guess
[15:45] <onla> writing 0 every place anyway
[15:46] <Amoz> onla, correct
[15:46] <Abhijit> hi
[15:46] <Amoz> this is independent of any data/filesystem/whatever
[15:47] <onla> hope there is no hibernations or things in ubuntu live usb disk if I put that dd rolling and after couple of hours it will put the pc to sleep
[15:47] <Abhijit> installed ubuntu restricted extras vlc and ffmpeg on 15.04. when i insert video film cd nothing happends. its not appearing on file manager. help.
[15:47] <Amoz> onla, easy to verify in settings I believe.
[15:47] <cfhowlett> !dvd | Abhijit
[15:48] <Abhijit> **installed ubuntu restricted extras** and libdvdread4 vlc and ffmpeg on 15.04. when i insert video film cd nothing happends. its not appearing on file manager. help.
[15:48] <Abhijit> executed both commands given on that page.
[15:49] <Abhijit> insntall-css.sh
[15:51] <OerHeks> Abhijit, i had that issue too, i have nvidia, and needed to set vlc - preferences - video - output to VDpau ...
[15:51] <Abhijit> even if wont play due to codecs, atleast it should appear in the file manager right?
[15:51] <Abhijit> OerHeks, my vcd is not detected at all.
[15:51] <OerHeks> oh, vcd , not dvd ?
[15:52] <Abhijit> one dvd and vcd.
[15:52] <Abhijit> nothing playes.
[15:53] <OerHeks> videolan says: Open your VLC Player Go to Media---> Open Disc---> Select SVCD/VCD option
[15:53] <Abhijit> let me try
[15:54] <Abhijit> OerHeks, it plays that way.
[15:54] <OerHeks> :-)
[15:54] <Abhijit> but ubuntu is not asking me when i insert cd and also its not appearing on my filemanager?
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> OerHeks  +1
[15:54] <Abhijit> thanks for that btw OerHeks :-)
[15:54] <daftykins> does it really need to?
[15:54] <daftykins> you know when you put a disc in, because... you put a disc in
[15:54] <OerHeks> does it appear in filemanager as removable?
[15:54] <Abhijit> daftykins, yes. how will i use cd drive in future?
[15:55] <Abhijit> OerHeks, no
[15:55] <daftykins> Abhijit: depends on the task
[15:56] <onla> what the.. the bios has the usb mass storage set as 1 boot option, but it wont boot it but goes to grub. Now I removed the 2nd option of SATA disk altogether frmo 2nd option, and still boots to grub menu
[15:56] <vubuntor> fail
[15:56] <vubuntor> still no USB on boot menu
[15:56] <OerHeks> Abhijit, I hope you didn't choose 'do nothing' and 'remember my choise´ once, so that menu never turns up again
[15:56] <onla> vubuntor: was that to me?
[15:56] <vubuntor> onla: no
[15:57] <Abhijit> daftykins, yeah but how can I leave it like that? all the things need to be in working condition in new laptop no?
[15:57] <Abhijit> OerHeks, no. it never asked any prompt.
[15:57] <Abhijit> OerHeks, where do I do that setup?
[15:57] <vubuntor> daftykins: other usb ports,shutdown,nothing
[15:58] <daftykins> shutdown, remove power + battery, discharge, then try again?
[15:58] <OerHeks> Abhijit,  on unity, systemsettings  - details - removable media
[15:58] <daftykins> this is way beyond ubuntu relevance right now though
[15:58] <OerHeks> there is also an option 'other media'
[15:59] <onla> my pc froze to the first picture when it does system tests when I press F11 to enter boot menu now
[16:00] <Abhijit> OerHeks, ok. will try. thanks.
[16:00] <daftykins> onla: if you wouldn't mind reducing the running commentary...
[16:02] <onla> I guess my ubuntu usb stick is not working. I tried 3 different ports, but it wont boot to the live cd.
[16:03] <onla> sorry. so I add to this that if anyone have any ideas if something else is up :)
[16:03] <daftykins> onla: so remake it
[16:03] <Abhijit> onla, checked everything from bios settings? enable usb booting thes set usb disk on first priority etc?
[16:04] <daftykins> priority is a waste of time, there's no need to adjust boot order
[16:04] <daftykins> hasn't been for years
[16:05] <daftykins> just use one-time menus :>
[16:06] <onla> ah yes. Now it boots. I tried with usb 3 ports first, and it didnt work. Modified the boot menu and tried again no avail, then after switching to usb2 slot, the boot menu option had moved the usb down on priority
[16:07] <Abhijit> ...
[16:07] <onla> now for the scary dd command :)
[16:07] <Abhijit> why do you need dd after booting into live ubuntu usb?
[16:08] <onla> I gonna wipe 1tb disk
[16:08] <Abhijit> ok.
[16:08] <onla> I know the buyer and he said im being too nerd doing something like that instead of just formatting
[16:08] <daftykins> but it practically IS formatting
[16:08] <daftykins> so he's too newb :)
[16:09] <daftykins> "sudo parted -l" then, pick the disk
[16:09] <daftykins> "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=2M"
[16:09] <Hilton> Hi, sorry this is long, figured I'd get all the information out at once. I'm getting a "incorrect password" errors in the GUI. I just did a fresh install of 14.04 on a PC and set up 6 accounts; my wife and I (admin) and 4 for the kids. I initially set up their accounts without passwords, intending to have them log in and set their own. I then changed my mind and set passwords for them all,...
[16:09] <Hilton> ...but none could log in. Research found they were all part of a 'nopasswdlogin' group or something; I removed them all from that group, but NOW Ubuntu simply says "Invalid password." at all times, right password or not. This does not happen on the two admin account. Note that using 'su' in the terminal, or switching to a TTY console, I can log in to any of their accounts just fine.
[16:09] <daftykins> then if can also get progress reports by "sudo killall dd -USR1"
[16:09] <Hilton> What could the problem be!?
[16:10] <daftykins> Hilton: nuke those accounts and start again.
[16:10] <jwash> hi everyone, i'm on 14.04, is there a way to make the behavior of 10 min of inactivity not lead to the login screen and stoppage of play for media like youtube and online radio. does anyone know how to make it not do this?
[16:11] <onla> daftykins: I will choose 4MB bs
[16:11] <onla> if it would be a bit faster
[16:11] <Hilton> daftykins: I did. Same problem.
[16:11] <onla> if I kill the dd while it is in progress, I would need to start from begin, no?
[16:11] <Amoz> onla, FYI, you can check the speed and/or written amount later by sending a signal to dd
[16:11] <onla> so I need no sudo for dd command
[16:12] <daftykins> Hilton: what about delete them, create one... log into one, set the password... then try?
[16:12] <daftykins> onla: no kill with -USR1 prints progress
[16:12] <Hilton> Does it make any difference if I use the User Accounts app, or the Users and Groups app I installed? (forgot the actual name...)
[16:12] <Amoz> that way you can check e.g. after 1 hour it has writen X amounts of data, and IF it is interrupted, you can use the "skip" argument to dd if you start again. That way you dont have to start over completely
[16:12] <daftykins> onla: i wouldn't have told you to do it if it stopped it, would i? :)
[16:13] <Abhijit> jwash, its in the brightness and lock settings in system setting
[16:14] <MonkeyDust> jwash  yes, you can uncheck 'turn screen off'
[16:14] <daftykins> Amoz: the signal -USR1 is what i'd already spoken of ;)
[16:14] <jwash> ight locker settings?
[16:14] <Abhijit> jwash, no. "Brightness and Lock" Setting.
[16:14] <sanjay> hi
[16:14] <EriC^^> hi sanjay
[16:14] <Amoz> daftykins, you're too quick, slow down ;)
[16:14] <bittin-> hi
[16:15] <sanjay> i am new to ubuntu
[16:15] <jwash> Abhijit: i don't have that in my settings
[16:15] <andrew_> i can't log into my skype account on skype for linux for some reason (when i type in my microsoft account stuff it just sends me back to the login screen)
[16:15] <Abhijit> jwash, which ubuntu version you are using?
[16:15] <andrew_> can someone help
[16:15] <jwash> Xubuntu
[16:15] <Abhijit> jwash, type cat /etc/*-release in terminal and paste output here
[16:15] <sanjay> 14.04 lts
[16:15] <daftykins> andrew_: test in the guest session
[16:16] <sanjay> but i like centos more
[16:16] <Abhijit> jwash, wait. use pastebin. do not directly paste here.
[16:16] <sanjay> only due to video playback i quit centos
[16:16] <daftykins> sanjay: this is a support channel for support questions, general chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:16] <Abhijit> sanjay, #ubuntu-offtopic this is support only channel
[16:16] <Abhijit> :-(
[16:16] <cfhowlett> sanjay, if you like centos, use it.  no need to discuss/debate it here.
[16:16] <sanjay> ok
[16:16] <jwash> http://pastebin.com/6g2zdj9k
[16:16] <sanjay> good bye
[16:17] <andrew_> still doesnt work
[16:17] <Abhijit> jwash, on your left hand side of screen there is vertical menu bar, in that there is Settings Icon, click on it, you should see that Brightness setting icon of monitor inside that.
[16:18] <onla> okhay!! :)) I got the dd running and already checked some reports too :) I looked at the system settings - power, and there was only suspend time setting and it is set to 'don't suspend' So I guess I can go out and expect that it will be running when I get back home
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> andrew_  it's possible that your ms account is blocked, due to spam or so, i had that too... had to create a new account
[16:18] <andrew_> well i did try to change my microsoft security info
[16:18] <andrew_> so it tells me to verify that someone isnt trying to hack me
[16:19] <andrew_> everytime i log into my email
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> andrew_  see, that's what i had
[16:20] <andrew_> welp i have to go ask my mom for help since her email is my alternate email for security
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> say hi to your mom
[16:21] <onla> already 45GB. Oh well. I also toggeld of log out and turn screen off when inactive. Oke I go now afk thanks all!
[16:21] <cfhowlett> !phrasing!
[16:26] <bittin-> ttp://a.uguu.se/tovvej_2015-08-03-182539_1366x768_scrot.png :)
[16:27] <Matt_teni> bittin-, did you use some ubuntu application to upload picture to that site?
[16:27] <bittin-> Matt_teni: nope
[16:34] <horatiohb> Trying to install ubuntu, but the partitioning stage can't see my hard drive, only the usb stick from which I'm booting.
[16:34] <techkamar> hi
[16:34] <techkamar> can u please tell me how to partition HD from terminal
[16:35] <techkamar> i mean without using GPARTED
[16:35] <OerHeks> techkamar, use parted
[16:35] <OerHeks> !info parted
[16:35] <techkamar> so itz not possible with "fdisk"?
