[00:00] <tankerkiller125> daftykins, I am fully aware of that :)
[00:00] <doh_> well tankerkiller125, where does it say in the bible that all code should be foss
[00:00] <daftykins> then don't yap about it in here :)
[00:00] <thurstylark> jharm: how did you try to play it in plex? Outline the process for me.
[00:00] <daftykins> ranger81: what do you mean 'raw' ?
[00:01] <ranger81> something like this http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_converting.html
[00:01] <tankerkiller125> BTW can someone help me play my NCIS DVD's on VLC for Ubuntu... I completly forgot that I was having issues with playing them.
[00:01] <jharm> i opened plex and then dragged the file to it and it plays the sound but no picture just a big stop sign that says that i need codec
[00:02] <jharm> plus i also just tried to play with vlc and the same thing happened
[00:02] <daftykins> !dvd
[00:03] <jharm> it might just be because it is from yifi because i got another movie the other day and it worked fine
[00:03] <thurstylark> jharm: So, you installed Plex Media Center?
[00:03] <daftykins> ranger81: that's referring to virtual machine disk image formats, what are you trying to achieve here?
[00:03] <jharm> yes i did
[00:03] <tankerkiller125> Eh I don't care about the legalities of playing the DVD all I know is that I baught it so I'm going to find away to play it...
[00:04] <daftykins> tankerkiller125: yeah and the links say how to do that... ?
[00:04] <daftykins> tankerkiller125: try reading the whole thing :)
[00:05] <thurstylark> jharm: Actually, I've been wanting to install that, can you send me a link to the guide on that?
[00:05] <tankerkiller125> daftykins, I know I did, Guess I just kinda through out a non-contexted thing.

[00:08] <Kamuela> I've got a screen flickering/tearing problem I have had for ages. Video drivers seem to change nothing. How would I go about troubleshooting this?
[00:10] <daftykins> Kamuela: graphics hardware?
[00:10] <Kamuela> daftykins: Intel HD4600
[00:10] <Kamuela> It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop
[00:11] <daftykins> Kamuela: ok there's some variable you can add to a manually created xorg.conf to prevent tearing
[00:11] <daftykins> if only i could remember it
[00:12] <daftykins> Kamuela: http://askubuntu.com/questions/418398/tear-free-disabled-in-intel-graphics-tearing-in-xubuntu
[00:12] <daftykins> there
[00:12] <WyZeGuY> cecja still here?
[00:12] <Kamuela> daftykins: well there's tearing, but i believe another issue is the screen seems to appear "negative" like it shows a negative greenish version of it at low dpi. I fix it by repeatedly switching resolutions until it randomly doesn't happen
[00:12] <daftykins> mmhmm
[00:17] <Kamuela> daftykins: i will try that tear-free setting. btw, if something totally f's up, what would be the easiest way to set up a quick "default"?
[00:17] <WyZeGuY> cecja hey
[00:18] <daftykins> Kamuela: messes up with the xorg.conf ? rename it... ;)
[00:18] <cecja> WyZeGuY: hey did it work?
[00:18] <Kamuela> daftykins: ok xorg.conf.old it is :)
[00:18] <WyZeGuY> cecja i don't know what was SO different this time, but i decided to try booting one more time before i booted from the usb. it worked. :-| back on my previous OS config. so yea, still going to use the usb on one of the drives to make a backup, though.
[00:19] <magnulu> hello - using cli only, I want to make a bootable usb with persistence. containing ubuntu 14.04 / edubuntu 14.04
[00:19] <magnulu> cant find any way to do this.. any help would be greatly appreciated
[00:19] <WyZeGuY> cecja: i tried several times before, and it kept wanting to do a system repair. but not this time. fucking windows, man. lol. but hey, that's all cool with me
[00:20] <cecja> WyZeGuY: :/
[00:20] <WyZeGuY> cecja: i dunno!! i swear lol
[00:20] <Enissay> Is there any community out there that could help group buying software licences, so it's cheaper ?  I've no idea if that exists, I just tought of that while drinking my tea =D
[00:20] <daftykins> WyZeGuY: don't use that language in here please.
[00:21] <daftykins> Enissay: licenses? this is Ubuntu Linux support, it's free.
[00:21] <Enissay> daftykins, omg sorry, it was for the offtopic room
[00:21] <WyZeGuY> daftykins: k sorry
[00:23] <WyZeGuY> cecja: but yea, now that it's back up i need to get back to work. thank you sir
[00:30] <MACscr> Just installed ubuntu on an old ssd of mine and i told the installer to delete everything that was on it. Guess it didnt because it now says "ubuntu this is a freenas data disk and cannot be booted. system halted" when i try to boot it after the install. Suggestions?
[00:30] <daftykins> MACscr: consider trying a secure erase if you can
[00:30] <daftykins> might even be a manufacturer brand wiping utility
[00:31] <MACscr> does the ubuntu installer have a secure erase option?
[00:32] <daftykins> MACscr: no
[00:32] <daftykins> but opening a terminal and trying hdparm is a valid method
[00:33] <MACscr> sry, thats what i meant. As in the disk having a tool i could use
[00:33] <daftykins> well neither that, but you can install packages in a live session
[00:36] <MACscr> hmm, the cd isnt giving me a live option. Could that be a uefi issue?
[00:37] <daftykins> MACscr: should just be 'try ubuntu'
[00:37] <MACscr> i understand that. Im saying that option never happens and it goes straight to the installer
[00:37] <MACscr> it had before though. hmm
[00:37] <EriC^^> which ubuntu?
[00:37] <MACscr> 14.04LTS
[00:38] <MACscr> there is two ways to boot the dvdrom though, legacy or uefi
[00:38] <MACscr> i picked uefi
[00:38] <daftykins> is it going to be the only OS?
[00:38] <MACscr> yes
[00:38] <DanielSantAnna> I need to recover my irc password, what do i do?
[00:38] <daftykins> DanielSantAnna: go ask in #freenode
[00:38] <thurstylark> DanielSantAnna: Ask in #freenode
[00:38] <daftykins> MACscr: legacy is fine then
[00:39] <DanielSantAnna> Thanks
[00:41] <MACscr> daftykins: ok, got to the cli as root. What next?
[00:42] <daftykins> MACscr: do might as well try the easy option first, i know it's an SSD but you could 'dd' zero fill it.
[00:42] <daftykins> s/do/you/
[00:48] <Kamuela> daftykins: TearFree seems to change nothing. And I've checked the log to make sure I did successfully enable it. Also, zero issue on an external monitor. And on windows, my laptop's internal display is fine. So there's some issue with display detection
[00:49] <daftykins> Kamuela: mmm, probably wasn't relevant since your symptoms changed on the second explanation ;)
[00:50] <danny_> whoopes
[00:51] <coltim> hi - I'm having an issue with gnome/unity-control-center - whenever I try to open the "Displays" tab I get ERROR:gsd-rr-config.c:661:gsd_rr_config_load_current: assertion failed: (gsd_rr_config_match (config, config))
[00:51] <Kamuela> daftykins: if i had to say what the issue was, just on gut feeling, i would say it has a lot to do with
[00:51] <coltim> I recently updated from 14.04 to 14.10, and ctrl alt t doesn't open up a terminal window
[00:52] <daftykins> with...?
[00:52] <Kamuela> daftykins: there's some kind of DPI setting error, or color setting error, or refresh rate error*
[00:52] <daftykins> Xorg log not give any clues?
[00:55] <coltim> nothing jumps out at me
[00:55] <MACscr> wow, this secure erase crap is bs
[00:56] <EriC^^> did you adjust the settings
[00:56] <MACscr> what settings?
[00:56] <EriC^^> what program are you talking about?
[00:56] <MACscr> hdparm
[00:56] <daftykins> MACscr: what, drive locked?
[00:57] <MACscr> all i want to do is install ubuntu, no idea why it cant simply erase the drive as needed
[00:57] <EriC^^> !info securedelete | thought you meant this
[00:57] <MACscr> not that i am aware of
[00:57] <MACscr> hdparm says NOT locked
[00:57] <daftykins> MACscr: i think it's your system trying to boot the EFI install as legacy that's the problem actually. so it's not ubuntu's fault, it's you pulling the drive from another device :)
[00:58] <daftykins> maybe you could just 'dd' the first 100MB of so with zeroes too
[00:58] <EriC^^> !info secure-delete
[00:59] <EriC^^> ^^ that's pretty neat for erasing hd's
[00:59] <daftykins> EriC^^: it's an SSD :) ATA secure erase command via hdparm was my first suggestion, but it's a bit evil
[00:59] <daftykins> i'm pretty sure the boot order in MACscr's system is just wrong
[01:00] <EriC^^> oh ok
[01:00] <MACscr> i have one ssd and one dvdrom
[01:00] <MACscr> i told ubuntu to use the whole disk, so there shouldnt be anything left on it after the install
[01:00] <MACscr> so i think my assumptions are fine
[01:01] <daftykins> MACscr: yeah that's where that assumption is wrong, because if it was in some device using an MBR, it has the boot sector still probably. how else would it know about freeNAS?
[01:01] <MACscr> well obviously that should have been wiped by the installer
[01:01] <daftykins> anyway the idea is to not focus on the past but take action on what we know now to resolve the problem
[01:02] <MACscr> i didnt say whole parition, i said the whole disk
[01:02] <daftykins> no because you installed in EFI
[01:02] <daftykins> totally different game :)
[01:02] <daftykins> alright well you can argue about what should happen until the cows come home, or deal with it
[01:03] <MACscr> ok, lets deal with it. What do i do next. hparm for doing  a secure delete is not working.
[01:03] <MACscr> i get an IO error when i try to set the password
[01:03] <daftykins> i've been giving several suggestions over the past 10 minutes above
[01:03] <arun> anyone familiar with NICs bonding?
[01:04] <MACscr> arun: yes
[01:12] <coltim> does my issue make sense at all? I'm just a bit perplexed and I don't really know where to turn
[01:12] <daftykins> coltim: test the guest session / a new user
[01:14] <coltim> daftykins: just tried, same problems; this link seems to be a similar issue (http://askubuntu.com/questions/284126/unity-crashed-ctrl-alt-t-not-working-logonscreen-bland)
[01:15] <MACscr> this is so frustrating. even after zeroing out the mbr with dd and trying to install again, it thinks the disk contains a gpt partition and doesnt proceed no matter if i select yes or no
[01:15] <dm7freek> i plug in a flash drive and it doesnt mount automatically. how do i make that happen, and how do i see all the /devs on my sys?
[01:15] <MACscr> about it being a partition table or not
[01:15] <EriC^^> MACscr: did you run fixparts ?
[01:16] <MACscr> EriC^^: nope. never saw anything about needing to
[01:16] <daftykins> MACscr: that's because you installed as EFI to start with and now you've booted legacy so it's different, so you can just reinstall booting EFI again to try.
[01:16] <daftykins> dm7freek: is the drive showing up in "dmesg | tail" ?
[01:16] <EriC^^> MACscr: if you have stray gpt data it will confuse the installer
[01:16] <dm7freek> EriC^^: yes
[01:17] <MACscr> daftykins: ive tried both legacy and efi with the same result
[01:17] <dm7freek> err sorry EriC^^, that was for daftykins
[01:17] <EriC^^> dm7freek: no problem
[01:17] <daftykins> dm7freek: how about "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" ?
[01:17] <EriC^^> MACscr: can you type sudo parted -l and pastebin it?
[01:18] <daftykins> MACscr: i don't see how running the installer after booting in EFI mode would complain about GPT, as that's a requirement
[01:21] <daftykins> dm7freek: so?
[01:21] <dm7freek> daftykins: that output looks like the flash drive has no partitions (because it was a boot drive for ubuntu i forgot about)
[01:22] <daftykins> a partition would still show up
[01:22] <retroispresto> =3
[01:23] <dm7freek> daftykins: oh, well nothing shows up. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690604
[01:23] <bsimmons> Hmmmm, so I am having troubles with ssh. It was working but I chowned the .ssh directory. I got everything back to as it was, but it's still not working.
[01:23] <bsimmons> Any pro tips?
[01:23] <retroispresto> hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[01:23] <dm7freek> daftykins: unfortunately im simultaneously having trouble launching gparted. when i click it spins for a sec then returns to normal and never launches. 'no protocol defined' when i launch it from the CLI
[01:24] <daftykins> dm7freek: does this drive still boot in another system?
[01:24] <dm7freek> bsimmons: getting any errors?
[01:24] <dm7freek> daftykins: not sure, but prob
[01:24] <daftykins> are you using some kind of drive bay adapter, or is it in motherboard sockets? or is it a laptop?
[01:24] <daftykins> well test it to confirm :P
[01:24] <dm7freek> daftykins: wkstn, usb flash drive
[01:25] <mbeierl> upgraded to 14.04 and now a new Windows 8 computer causes smbd crashes whenever it tries to print.  Any ideas?
[01:25] <retroispresto> :/
[01:25] <daftykins> dm7freek: that answers one of my two questions :)
[01:25] <Strav> he! Anyone around here knows what the "Errors" column in the raid-disks section of the gnome-disk utility is actually listing? (I have a 152 errors count for one of my disks and yet: mdadm --detail tells me that the array is clean, fsck says the same about my partition (on top of LVM))
[01:25] <bsimmons> dm7freek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690612/
[01:25] <retroispresto> gonna use my phone as a hotspot now, cause the ip changes every day
[01:26] <daftykins> Strav: sounds like bad sectors on a disk, install smartmontools and pastebinit then show "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX | pastebinit" for both/all disks
[01:26] <Strav> (and I have no particular warnings for smart tests on the problematic disk)
[01:26] <mbeierl>  /msg NickServ help
[01:26] <daftykins> retroispresto: that's nice, but not relevant to this channel
[01:26] <dm7freek> daftykins: what do you mean boot, like does it automount or can i boot from it? cuz rebooting is quite a process, and i have a diff comp i could wipe it on.
[01:27] <dm7freek> kinda just want to fix gparted
[01:27] <Strav> daftykins: I'll do just that, thanks :)
[01:27] <retroispresto> I'm banned from #ubuntu-offtopic for I don't know what
[01:27] <dm7freek> bsimmons: did you regen your keys?
[01:27] <daftykins> retroispresto: that doesn't mean you can yap here. find another place.
[01:27] <bubbasaures> retroispresto, Ask #ubuntu-oops
[01:27] <bubbasaures> #ubuntu-ops
[01:27] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Regenerate? No, but recopied and they are right on both sides.
[01:27] <daftykins> dm7freek: effort to reboot? wow. does gparted run when you remove the drive?
[01:28] <dm7freek> bsimmons: line 31 suggests you might want to flush known_hosts as a start (cp it to a diff dir or name or both)
[01:28] <dm7freek> daftykins: no
[01:28] <dm7freek> daftykins: well its not THAT big of a deal, but it's the end of the day and im a lazy f*ck
[01:29] <dm7freek> heh
[01:29] <daftykins> dm7freek: well you could test boot in the other machine. no help for you then since it's laziness! i don't forgive that.
[01:30] <dm7freek> daftykins: ya, i'm pretty whack haha, but what are you looking for? I dont think the flash drive prob and gparted prob are related.
[01:30] <retroispresto> dm7freek: "This means that you should avoid any language which may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such language."
[01:30] <Strav> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/w9ppZa4i (the raw-read-error-rate seems pretty high for that disk)
[01:30] <daftykins> dm7freek: well i was never talking about gparted, i just think it's iffy if the drive has anything on it yet shows up with no partitions. can't confirm on another system? doesn't seem like too much work.
[01:30] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Flushed the client side known_hosts. Didn't work either.
[01:31] <dm7freek> bsimmons: hmm....
[01:31] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Looking like the same error too.
[01:31] <daftykins> Strav: yeah, no sign of the major markers though. perhaps that one can go in the 'maybe' pile :D
[01:33] <Strav> daftykins: ok thanks anyways!
[01:33] <Strav> gotta go!
[01:33] <dm7freek> daftykins: i can see if my mac finds a partition in disk util real easy, is that enough? otherwise i dont really care enough (i always thought a bootable flash drive would show up w no partitions anyway lol)
[01:33] <dm7freek> daftykins: i do appreciate your attn tho, ty
[01:33] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Even tried making my home directory writable only to me.
[01:34] <daftykins> lol guy shows me one disk of a RAID and considers it ok, wat.
[01:35] <dm7freek> bsimmons: nah... uh well i think that the remote host is denying permission based on your public RSA key. tht tells me the remote thinks you should have a diff one. have you tried ssh into a diff host or ssh from a diff host into the one in question?
[01:35] <dm7freek> one you dont use frequently preferably
[01:36] <bsimmons> dm7freek: yeah, tried from work, didn't work either.
[01:37] <dm7freek> bsimmons: oh weird! same error?
[01:38] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Yep
[01:40] <dm7freek> bsimmons: it's weird that there's no fallback to password. this is a bit out of my scope :/
[01:40] <daftykins> it's probably disabled.
[01:40] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Oh, I setup so that it's rsa auth only.
[01:41] <dm7freek> ah
[01:42] <dm7freek> bsimmons: reboot? heh im out of ideas atm
[01:42] <bsimmons> dm7freek: I see.
[01:42] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Well, let's just blast out everything then...
[01:43] <dm7freek> daftykins: fwiw, no partitions show in dsj util on OS X either, and it displays an error, so im presuming the thumb drive is just fubard
[01:44]  * dm7freek apologized to retroispresto.
[01:44] <dm7freek> *apologizes
[01:44] <dm7freek> not rly tho
[01:44] <retroispresto> it's okay dm7freek
[01:44] <daftykins> dm7freek: try dd'ing it for fun
[01:44] <dm7freek> ok
[01:51] <dm7freek> daftykins: not sure if possible, i can't find the dev associated with my usb drive
[01:52] <hikenboot> hi! can i chroot into slackware from ubuntu or would i be better off making my build system the same distro?
[01:53] <daftykins> dm7freek: what? it was in parted before
[01:54] <ZuluTango> where is the config folder for HexChat located?
[01:54]  * dm7freek slaps himself
[01:54] <Kamuela> daftykins: how would i troubleshoot this dpi/display issue?
[01:54]  * dm7freek then returns to ubunu
[01:55] <daftykins> Kamuela: beyond reading the Xorg log as hinted earlier?
[01:55] <kaste> Hey I get a message that gimp can't be installed because of some held package but I never held a package before
[01:55] <Stanley00> hikenboot: you can as long as both are 32 bit, or both are 64 bit
[01:55] <usuario> alguem fala portugues
[01:55] <daftykins> kaste: ever run a dist-upgrade?
[01:55] <daftykins> !pt
[01:55] <kaste> that install is 10 days old
[01:55] <kaste> so no
[01:55] <hikenboot> Stanley00, am i likely to run into any avoidable problems by using one set of directions over another...ie any recommends?
[01:55] <kaste> also says no packages to update
[01:55] <usuario> obrigado
[01:56] <Kamuela> daftykins: i'll check it now
[01:56] <squinty> ZuluTango:  ~/.config/hexchat
[01:57] <Kamuela> daftykins: do the first numbers signify a timestamp of some sort, e.g. the [    137.440] or no? i'm assuming this log runs on from multiple reboots and things
[01:58] <Stanley00> hikenboot: this should works, I hope :3 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/change_root#Using_chroot
[01:58] <Kamuela> daftykins: i do see this toward the end, are these hinty? http://pastebin.com/EpWtDMQK
[01:58] <ZuluTango> squinty: I'm a windows person please explain that path :)
[01:58] <dm7freek> daftykins: works fine
[01:58] <daftykins> Kamuela: nah
[01:59] <ZuluTango> what is the "~/." in the path ?
[01:59] <dm7freek> daftykins: anything else before i wipe it?
[01:59] <Kamuela> daftykins: well what's usually 55.8 kHz? that's not a vsync is it? isn't that usually something like 60 or 59.9 or something
[01:59] <pMBa> hi
[02:00] <squinty> ZuluTango:  ~/ equals your home directory.   so therefore the path is  /home/<user name>/.config/hexchat
[02:00] <dm7freek> ZuluTango: same as ~
[02:00] <daftykins> Kamuela: different value, not vsync
[02:00] <pMBa> are people avaiable to help me with a boot problem?
[02:00] <dm7freek> ZuluTango: disregard
[02:00] <daftykins> pMBa you have to ask first.
[02:00] <pMBa> ok
[02:00] <squinty> ZuluTango: to see that path in your file browser, press Alt H  (which turns on "show hidden files" and then migrate to that directory
[02:01] <pMBa> yesterday i installed ubuntu from a self-made dvd. all was fine in installation, after much  trying to figure out the Installation Type and Partitions listing screen. I managed to create a partition for the Ubuntu install, and a "Swap area" partition, and go through with the installation. All fine.
[02:02] <pMBa> Until I restarted and tried to boot from harddisk. I get the black scree with the text requesting to insert bootable media and hit any key. But that is frozen and does nothing, even if I put the original CD in.
[02:03] <pMBa> And I made a Boot-Repair USB drive, which mounts and looks fine in OSX, but does not even show up in rEFIT and doesn't actually seem usable in any way.
[02:04] <hikenboot> thanks Stanley00 , those are different than others I have, I am attempting a remaster of partmagic live cd
[02:04] <pMBa> I managed to get Boot-Repair loaded up via rEfit>Boot EFI Grub>Boot-Repair, which I proceeded through and it told me it fixed some problems. Restart and reboot from harddisk is not working, as usual. Now what do I do?
[02:04] <bubbasaures> pMBa, Not sure bootrepair is an apple dualboot best tool, you have any evidence it is? Never seen it used in that context is all.
[02:05] <Kamuela> daftykins: here is the full xorg.conf, i'm sorry i can't narrow it down any further... i'm finding it rather difficult to derive what i should be looking for http://pastebin.com/cZv4FuKa
[02:05] <Stanley00> hikenboot: welcome :3
[02:05] <pMBa> I can't access the partitions from OSD very well to reformat and reinstall, and the DVD doesn't seem to boot in any way like it did yesterday. Am I screwed? I literally don't know what I can do that will touch that partition, and don't know what the problem is.
[02:06] <pMBa> bubbasaures, not sure about best tool for the job, honestly.
[02:06] <bubbasaures> pMBa, Do you have a regular download?
[02:06] <pMBa> Lifehacker made this dualboot setup seem easy, but doesn't have any suggestion for this problem.
[02:06] <bubbasaures> no tweaked
[02:06] <bubbasaures> not*
[02:06] <pMBa> I have the latest Long Term Support build for desktop Ubuntu, yes.
[02:07] <daftykins> Kamuela: i'm not gonna have any better ideas
[02:07] <bubbasaures> pMBa, You mentioned a self made dvd what does that mean, sounds like a custom uck build from here.
[02:07] <Kamuela> daftykins: i'm just looking at things that say "not found" thinking maybe display information isn't being read for some reason??
[02:08] <pMBa> it's just a downloaded ISO, converted to IMG and written to DVD.
[02:08] <pMBa> I don't know what UCK is.
[02:08] <daftykins> Kamuela: you pasted a line saying read EDID ok, so it can't be that. you tried a live session?
[02:09] <bubbasaures> pMBa, Ah cool, just confirming, not sure what the best answer is, but we get apple users here often so if you hang you should be set.
[02:09] <Kamuela> daftykins: yes it most definitely does this during any session, and on Mint as well if that helps to know
[02:10] <pMBa> ok, I'll put out a peep every so often to see if such a user is available to help.
[02:10] <phre4k> pMBa: how did you create the boot repair disk? With dd?
[02:10] <Kamuela> daftykins: also i just changed resolutions while messing with the external display i have hooked up and my internal went back to the really bad DPI issue, is this located in a log somewhere?
[02:11] <pMBa> Any suggestions on how to format my harddrive to freespace or ext4 via osx? It doesn't seem possible in Disk Utility.
[02:11] <phre4k> daftykins: /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[02:12] <phre4k> pMBa: I didn't use OS X for a long time, but I think it doesn't support ext fs OOTB. Maybe open terminal and see what mkfs. programs are available
[02:14] <pMBa> I also find it quite suspect that whereas I used to be able to boot up the Ubuntu installation or trial from the DVD, I now can not. It simply hangs on a black screen with flashing _
[02:21] <bubbasaures> pMBa, A flashing _ makes me think the disc is not getting booted, we see this on installs and live boots.
[02:22] <bubbasaures> generally a missing graphic driver
[02:25] <PMBA> oh crap. funny, since the Ubuntu installation didn't seem to enable my trackpad either. Guess the drivers are a bit of a issue when you try to work with Linux on a Mac.
[02:26] <EriC^^> PMBA: which mac do you have?
[02:26] <bubbasaures> PMBA, Take a look at this, just a guess on a mac but the standard blinking cursor first option. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[02:27] <EriC^^> PMBA: check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro11-1/Saucy#Touchpad
[02:29] <klaslofstedt> which is the best video/media player to easily resync subtitle? i've tried VLC but i thing it's torpe
[02:30] <PMBA> EriC, I have a 14" white Macbook, 4,1 to be specific.
[02:31] <PMBA> I'll check those links.

[02:51] <bubbasaures> elijah__, Not being built it looks like, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime
[02:52] <elijah__> ;(
[02:52] <elijah__> bubbasaures_ oh well
[02:52] <elijah__> Thanks though
[02:52] <elijah__> Have a nice day
[02:52] <bubbasaures> elijah__, you to. ;)
[02:56] <jorge_> hola?
[02:57] <alexis_> hello everyone
[03:02] <joshua83519> hi room
[03:03] <joshua83519> can some one tell me where to find programs that are not in sofware center that u can download
[03:04] <joshua83519> just would like some ideas?
[03:05] <Zed-Ex_> What kind of software? There's tons already on the repos
[03:05] <ubuntu> hai
[03:06] <joshua83519> like themes i could try
[03:06] <Stanley00> joshua83519: why do you want that?
[03:06] <EriC^^> !themes
[03:07] <joshua83519> well just would like to be unique
[03:07] <isaac_> i like the Macbuntu themes for ubuntu 14.04
[03:07] <joshua83519> how do i tell what version i have of ubuntu
[03:08] <EriC^^> lsb_release -a
[03:08] <joshua83519> i think i have 14.10
[03:08] <EriC^^> ( type that in a terminal )
[03:08] <joshua83519> i have 14.04
[03:08] <Stanley00> joshua83519: type detail or about in dash can show you ubuntu vertion too.
[03:09] <jeffrey_f> I think I have an issue with apparmor vs mysql - Can't do a load data in mysql
[03:09] <isaac_> ver14.04 very good
[03:11] <joshua83519> how do i install a theme
[03:11] <EriC^^> i think you need unity-tweak-tool
[03:12] <isaac_> maybe you must authorize guest login for mysql
[03:12] <ki7rw> i guess this facial login program isn't ready for primetime - opencv seems to be the problem getting it to work - bummer - i suppose there's a commercial program for linux if i really want it
[03:13] <daftykins> ki7rw: people would just subvert it with pictures anyway, that's no security.
[03:13] <bubbasaures> ki7rw, Can't most be bypassed with a picture?
[03:13] <daftykins> bubbasaures: ^5!
[03:13] <bubbasaures> no 3d maaaaan
[03:15] <joshua83519> seems like alot of work to change themes
[03:15] <bubbasaures> joshua83519, Gets easier as you know how.
[03:17] <Zed-Ex_> Unity isn't really meant to have its theme changed either imo
[03:18] <bubbasaures> lotta users come by here to do so, my guess is individuality
[03:19] <daftykins> i think it's mostly the young with time on their hands.
[03:20] <Zed-Ex_> I see. Its like Gnome3 though, its just not that easy to theme
[03:21] <bubbasaures> less orange is all I mess with, ubuntu has had more than enough
[03:22] <Sukir> yeah
[03:23] <Sukir> where you from ?
[03:23] <xangua> !ot | Sukir
[03:24] <Sukir> iam from indonesia
[03:25] <Sukir> iam not speak english ? indonesian please ?
[03:26] <isaac_> I hate #ubuntu-cn ,nobody can talk<PHONE_NUMBER>5
[03:26] <bubbasaures> !id | Sukir
[03:26] <jeffrey_f> I have an issue with apparmor vs mysql - Can't do a load data in mysql
[03:26] <Sukir> oke bro thanks
[03:27] <bubbasaures> Sukir, Best of luck. ;)

[03:31] <dataangel> If I'm at the command line and want to open ubuntu's setting's GUI what's the command?
[03:33] <sukma> oi
[03:33] <isaac_> help! how to use gambas3 make program ?
[03:33] <sukma> i don't know
[03:33] <dNng> what you kind ,sukma
[03:34] <BlueProtoman> I want to compile my own programs (i.e. with -march=native, a bunch of optimization flags, etc.), but I also want to keep them up to date a la package managers.   I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be a viable option on my Macbook.
[03:35] <sukma> why
[03:35] <daftykins> sukma: because it's spam.
[03:35] <sukma> you is cungok
[03:35] <sukma> okay
[03:36] <Stanley00> BlueProtoman: You need to get the *source* from package manager, and rebuild everytime there's new update. But let me check if there's other way.
[03:37] <Prezident> Hey guys, how can i start an program i have installed with wine from terminal?
[03:38] <isaac_> how to change my name in here?
[03:38] <Prezident>  /nick yournewnick
[03:38] <somsip> isaac_: /nick {newname}
[03:38] <OerHeks> Prezident, wine /path/to/your/blablabla.exe
[03:38] <Zed-Ex_> Prezident, just run 'wine filepath'
[03:38] <Prezident> Ok
[03:39] <Prezident> Lets see if i can get it working on flubox.
[03:39] <isaac_> OK i try again
[03:39] <Prezident> Thanks
[03:39] <isaac_> thank u
[03:39] <dataangel> Prezident: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/......../someprogram.exe
[03:39] <dataangel> oops too slow
[03:40] <PMBA> i'm quitting ubuntu. maybe osx isn't opensource, but at least it works without being a finnaggly think. I'll revisit Ubuntu in two years when my life gets boring.
[03:41] <DeepBlueTree> clear
[03:41] <DeepBlueTree> .....
[03:41] <Stanley00> BlueProtoman: looks like you have to do it manually, but you can use script here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb
[03:41] <DeepBlueTree> Sorry is my worry
[03:41] <Prezident> Yeah it seems work to start the program from terminal, but from fluxbox it aint working [exec] (program) {wine /path/*.exe}
[03:42] <Prezident> Any suggestion or should i ask in their own chan maybe.
[03:42] <OerHeks> Prezident, so what is the erro?
[03:42] <OerHeks> error*

[03:46] <van> someone could help me to mount a drive. it doesnt let me mount it
[03:47] <daftykins> van: you've been asked to run a command. respond.
[03:47] <van> my apologies, i didnt see it .
[03:47] <van> here is the result

[03:48] <van> oh wtf

[03:48] <van> lol
[03:49] <van> Thanks!
[03:50] <EriC^^> no problem
[03:54] <doomlord_> can pixel fonts be anti-aliased (greyscale pixels) ... regular fonts dont seem to align to pixels, which blurs them out a little. (are there other tweaks to font rendering possible?)
[03:56] <doomlord_> what i see onscreen between linux & mac makes me think the mac tweaks its' font scaling to align font strokes to pixel boundaries or something
[03:57] <daftykins> sub pixel rendering i think
[04:02] <adrian_1908> doomlord_: I think it depends on the font. Some fonts work great with hinting, others look a little blurry (I agree). I've also seen differences between various programs, which is unfortunate.
[04:02] <doomlord_> i've just encountered talk of 'hinting' disable on some forum
[04:03] <doomlord_> good to have confirmed i'm not just imagining this
[04:04] <doomlord_> the font rendering is actually different between osx & linux
[04:04] <adrian_1908> doomlord_: Yes, and Windows :)
[04:06] <daftykins> it's adjustable in Windows though, where they call sub pixel rendering 'ClearType'
[04:06] <adrian_1908> I'm actually quite satisfied with the overall state of font rendering on my Xubuntu installation, it's just certain Qt based applications that don't look so well. The fault lies with Qt's font implementation on Linux and there seems to be little to no interest in fixing it (most people don't notice).
[04:06] <doomlord_> 'infinality'
[04:07] <doomlord_> have any window managers copied OSX's ability to swap desktops per monitor yet
[04:08] <adrian_1908> yes, infinality is supposed to help for some. Do you have font settings on Ubuntu? On Xubuntu I can adjust some basic settings like AA and hinting in the control panel. Of course this can also be done manually in a fontconfig file, which should have system-wide effects.
[04:09] <al_nz1> Hi All
[04:09] <al_nz1> I have a grub problem
[04:09] <al_nz1> I remove a hard disk which had a OS installed on it
[04:09] <al_nz1> but not the HDD with grub
[04:09] <al_nz1> however I now get grub rescue>
[04:09] <doomlord_> ill take a look, i do have the xubuntu desktpo stuff at the minute
[04:10] <al_nz1> I want to boot my remaining hdd which has ubuntu
[04:11] <ame> why my ubuntu drop to shell mode while booting but it is working good if i choose any image from previous linux versions?
[04:11] <Stanley00> al_nz1: you can run set root=(hdx,msdosy) and set prefix=/boot/grub/ then you free to go. But make sure your remain ubuntu partition has grub installed
[04:11] <bubbasaures> al_nz1,  Can you pastebin sudo parted -l
[04:12] <al_nz1> Stanley00: is that at the grub prompt?
[04:12] <Stanley00> al_nz1: yes, type that at grub rescue promt.
[04:12] <al_nz1> is that literal "x" or a number?
[04:12] <bubbasaures> that should get you in al_nz1
[04:13] <Stanley00> al_nz1: yes, replace X and Y with your real number
[04:14] <al_nz1> Stanley00: trying nw
[04:14] <adrian_1908> doomlord_: If could try creating a file ~/YourUserName/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with the following content (http://pastebin.com/gvxghWQa) and play around with the settings. Might have to log out for it to take effect (in my case the gui updates while running)
[04:15] <SleepersTide> I'm running 14.10 and I've encountered a strange bug where I can reliably crash Xorg by opening the arduino IDE and rapidly moving my mouse back and forth between the Tools -> Board: and Tools -> Serial Port menus
[04:15] <SleepersTide> or maybe it's lightdm that's crashing, I dunno
[04:15] <doomlord_> i've just grabbed this 'infinality' , i'll give it a go
[04:16] <adrian_1908> yah, probably even better (finer grained control), good luck!
[04:16] <Bashing-om> al_nz1: Where 'x' is the hard drtive number sda=0, sdb=1, sdc=3 ANF for msdosy; y=1 for 1st partiotion, 2 =2nd partition and so on .. /boot must be on the partition in msdosy .
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[04:19] <function9x> guten morgen
[04:20] <al_nz1> hmm
[04:21] <al_nz1> Stanley00: still coming up with error no such device then a series of hex numbers
[04:22]  * [gnubie] waves
[04:22] <Stanley00> al_nz1: looks like it problem of grub.cfg file, can you try loading the kernel and ramdisk manually? or just edit the grub.cfg you have
[04:23] <al_nz1> errm, sorry but how would I do any of that
[04:24] <Stanley00> al_nz1: when you finish run set prefix=/boot/grub . What come next?
[04:24] <al_nz1> btw ls (hd0,1)/ seems to show my file system
[04:25] <al_nz1> after "set prefix=/boot/grub/" I rebooted
[04:26] <Stanley00> al_nz1: no, you need to load the config file or load the kernel manually right after then, without a reboot
[04:27] <al_nz1> oh ok
[04:27] <al_nz1> how?
[04:27] <EriC^^> set root='(hd0,1)'
[04:28] <Stanley00> al_nz1: to load a config file. Run configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg and try.
[04:28] <ame> stanley00:hi
[04:29] <al_nz1> Lol this is painful
[04:29] <Stanley00> al_nz1: if it won't work, try "linux /vmlinux... " , "initrd /initrd..." and "boot", replace ... with what you have all your system, (you can press tab there)
[04:29] <Stanley00> ame: yes?
[04:29] <al_nz1> I tried "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and it says configfile is unknown command
[04:30] <EriC^^> al_nz1: did you set the root first?
[04:30] <ame> my ubuntu dropping to shell mode
[04:30] <al_nz1> first command : set root=(hd0,msdos1)
[04:30] <Stanley00> al_nz1: how about config and press tab? I don't remember what excactly that command is :3
[04:31] <al_nz1> second: set prefix=/boot/grub/
[04:31] <al_nz1> thrid: configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:31] <EriC^^> al_nz1: k, try config<tab> grub<tab>
[04:31] <ame> if i choose <al_nzl>:you are saying to me?
[04:31] <EriC^^> nevermind
[04:32] <al_nz1> config<tab> isnt giving me any predictive options
[04:32] <EriC^^> al_nz1: that's odd
[04:32] <Stanley00> al_nz1: then forget about that configfile commamd, try linux and initrd command then. Here for you reference https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#grub_rescue.3E-1 :3
[04:33] <al_nz1> thanks - both those commands are unknwon
[04:33] <Stanley00> ame: is that grub rescue> promt too?
[04:33] <al_nz1> yes
[04:33] <ame> means>>
[04:33] <ame> ??
[04:34] <Stanley00> ame: al_nz1 is stuck at grub rescue prompt (aka showing *grub rescue>* on his screen). Do you stuck at that too?
[04:36] <Stanley00> al_nz1: hmm... after set root, and prefix, can you run "ls /boot/grub" and pastebin the output?
[04:37] <al_nz1> you have a few "paths" ./ ../ grub.cfg fonts/grubenv gfxblacklist.txt locale/ uncode.pf2 i386-pc/
[04:37] <al_nz1> thats all
[04:37] <ame> stanley00:no my ubuntu dropping to shell mode and showing a error..where to post the error so that you can understand easily??
[04:38] <Stanley00> !paste | ame
[04:39] <ame> Gave up waiting for root device.common problems    -Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)     -Check root delay =(did the system wait long enough?)     -check root=(did the system wait for right device?)    -missing modules (cat /proc/module;ls /dev)  ALERT! /dev/mapper/LTSP--vg-root does not exist.Dropping to shell !

[04:39] <ame> stanly0:http://paste.ubuntu.com/9691152/
[04:40] <Stanley00> ame: it's another problem here. Looks like you have lvm partition but you cannot mount it on, maybe you initrd image cause the problem
[04:41] <ame> stanly0:how to resolve it.any idea??
[04:41] <al_nz1> Stanley00: any other throughts?
[04:42] <doomlord_> running this 'infinality' thing now... not sure if i'm imagining it, but it does look nicer.
[04:42] <Stanley00> al_nz1: I don't really know, configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg should worked then.
[04:42] <Stanley00> ame: Maybe you need to run a live Ubuntu, chroot into your installed ubunut (on hdd), and rebuild the initrd image.
[04:43] <ame> stanly:can u please say and share a link to how to do it??
[04:43] <al_nz1> i have confirmed the existance of /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:43] <Stanley00> ame: let me see if I can find one
[04:43] <daftykins> why doesn't ame just try an older kernel?
[04:45] <OerHeks> daftykins, ame said that boots fine
[04:45] <EriC^^> al_nz1: which is your linux installation's partition usually? /dev/sdxY ?
[04:45] <ame> older kernel are working
[04:46] <al_nz1> dev/sda I think
[04:46] <ame> daftykins:older kernels are working fine but i need to hold on shift key while booting and choose the image from previous linux version.But my doubt is why this error occurs in my server??
[04:47] <EriC^^> al_nz1: ok type insmod part_msdos, then insmod ext2
[04:47] <al_nz1> EriC^^: ok done
[04:47] <EriC^^> al_nz1: type ls -l , get your linux partition's designation, hdx,msdosY , and the UUID
[04:48] <EriC^^> type set root='(hdx,msdosY)'
[04:48] <al_nz1> ls -l gives "error bad filename"
[04:48] <EriC^^> are you sure you're in grub
[04:48] <al_nz1> but its def hd0,1
[04:48] <al_nz1> I am at a prompt "grub rescue"
[04:48] <EriC^^> get to grub
[04:49] <EriC^^> grub>
[04:49] <al_nz1> if I type "grub" unknwon command
[04:50] <EriC^^> reboot the pc
[04:50] <EriC^^> hold shift
[04:50] <daftykins> ame: so boot an older one, purge the latest and reinstall to check?
[04:50] <ame> daftkins:that is the problem i am new to ubuntu i dont know how to do that
[04:51] <Stanley00> EriC^^, daftykins : I will let ame and al_nz1 to you guys, I need to go now. Thanks :3
[04:51] <daftykins> o/
[04:51] <al_nz1> EriC^^: rebooted with shift but still ends up at grub_rescue>
[04:51] <al_nz1> thanks Stanley00
[04:51] <phre4k> ame: remove the new kernel, profit
[04:52] <phre4k> ame: which kernel works and which doesn't? Could be a regression or a bug which is fixed in a later version
[04:53] <EriC^^> al_nz1: ok, type insmod linux
[04:54] <ame> How to remove the kernel??
[04:55] <bubbasaures> al_nz1, Might be helpful to know of this tool. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
[04:56] <al_nz1> EriC^^: insmod linux "error file not found"
[04:56] <al_nz1> perhaps a live cd me easier?
[04:56] <al_nz1> be easier?
[04:56] <EriC^^> nah, type set root='(hdx,Y)'
[04:57] <al_nz1> done
[04:57] <EriC^^> try insmod linux
[04:58] <al_nz1> done - error file not found
[04:58] <EriC^^> nah, type set root='(hdx,Y)'/boot
[04:58] <EriC^^> lol sorry,
[04:58] <EriC^^> try set root... ^^
[04:59] <al_nz1> done
[04:59] <EriC^^> try insmod linux again
[04:59] <al_nz1> i typed set root=(hd0,1)/boot
[04:59] <al_nz1> I wasint including the " ' "
[04:59] <EriC^^> it's ok
[05:00] <EriC^^> ls (hd0,1) shows /boot ?
[05:00] <al_nz1> insmod still failing
[05:00] <al_nz1> ls (hd0,1) gives "error bad filename"
[05:01] <al_nz1> sorry with "boot" on the end gives a bunch of files
[05:02] <EriC^^> al_nz1: ok, try set boot=(hd0,1)
[05:02] <EriC^^> then set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub
[05:02] <EriC^^> type insmod normal , then type boot
[05:03] <al_nz1> insmod always fails
[05:03] <al_nz1> with file not found
[05:04] <EriC^^> try insmod (hd0,1)/boot/grub/x86<tab>/normal.mod
[05:07] <al_nz1> EriC^^: there isnt a x86 dir
[05:07] <al_nz1> there is a i386-pc dir
[05:07] <al_nz1> under boot/grub
[05:07] <EriC^^> ok use that instead
[05:08] <al_nz1> but
[05:08] <al_nz1> insmod (hd0,1)/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod - also fails
[05:08] <al_nz1> there is too much output on ls (hd0,1)/boot/grub/i386-pc/ to see if normal.mod exists
[05:10] <EriC^^> try insmod (hd0,1)/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod
[05:10] <EriC^^> al_nz1: you can type norma<tab>
[05:10] <EriC^^> to see if it's there
[05:10] <al_nz1> EriC^^: tab complete isnt working
[05:10] <al_nz1> but i try
[05:11] <al_nz1> file not found
[05:11] <al_nz1> grrrr
[05:12] <EriC^^> do you have a live usb?
[05:12] <al_nz1> EriC^^: yes. Its old ubuntu but it will do
[05:12] <EriC^^> ok
[05:14] <al_nz1> ok im in
[05:15] <EriC^^> ok, type sudo parted -l
[05:15] <al_nz1> ok
[05:15] <al_nz1> sda and sdb are hdd
[05:15] <al_nz1> sdc is flash drive
[05:16] <EriC^^> ok, paste it in paste.ubuntu.com
[05:16] <al_nz1> sda is the ubuntu disk
[05:16] <al_nz1> cause I can browse it
[05:16] <EriC^^> ok, unmount it
[05:17] <EriC^^> does sda have only 1 partition?
[05:17] <al_nz1> no 3
[05:17] <al_nz1> 1 is primary ext boot
[05:17] <EriC^^> can you paste it? would makes things clearer
[05:18] <al_nz1> and fyi normal.mods exists in /boot/grub/i386-pc
[05:20] <EriC^^> ok, pastebin link?
[05:20] <al_nz1> 9691298

[05:48] <mac__> hy all.. i need some answers and guides over linux.. need to reconfigure keyboard.. everytime engleash...
[05:48] <cfhowlett> mac__, what language do you want
[05:48] <mac__> slovene
[05:48] <mac__> slovenija
[05:48] <mac__> slovenian
[05:49] <mac__> sorry... morning here
[05:49] <cfhowlett> !si | mac__
[05:50] <mac__> yeah..
[05:50] <mac__> so.. does anyone have few moments_
[05:50] <mac__> so.. does anyone have few moments?
[05:52] <mac__>  Če potrebujete pomoč v Slovenskem jeziku.. i don-t want that
[05:52] <cfhowlett> !keyboard | mac__
[05:54] <mac__> did that.. and every time is back in engleash
[05:57] <pantato> I have a box and the internet is being reeeeeaallllly slow
[05:57] <pantato> i think it might be the onboard lan adapter
[05:57] <pantato> anyone have any idea how i could figure out what's wrong from the command line?
[05:57] <mac__> will i have to reinstall ubuntu_
[05:58] <cfhowlett> mac__, DO NOT reinstall.  that's a windows solution and this aint windows.
[05:59] <mac__> i know it aint.. but.. everytime back in engleash.. its.. delay
[05:59] <Guest23890> how do i open rpm files in ubuntu
[06:00] <pantato> you don't
[06:00] <MACscr> Guest23890: you can, but you typically dont
[06:00] <somsip> !info alien | Guest23890
[06:00] <cfhowlett> Guest23890, probably can't as rpm is for fedora.  ubuntu uses .deb.   "alien" command MIGHT! work SOMEWHAT!
[06:00] <pantato> Guest23890, what are you trying to install?
[06:00] <Guest23890> comodo anti virus
[06:01] <mac__> its funny.. because i am looking at that check thing.. and it says.. use the same source for all windows..
[06:01] <MACscr> rofl
[06:01] <mac__> but somehow is back in engleash
[06:01] <xangua> mac__: you mean the keyboard distribution? what ubuntu release are you using?
[06:01] <mac__> and where the hell is smlile?
[06:01] <cfhowlett> !antivirus | Guest23890
[06:01] <MACscr> never seen English spelled that way =P
[06:02] <mac__> ubuntu 14.... something..
[06:02] <MACscr> cfhowlett: or on web servers
[06:02] <mac__> lts
[06:02] <pantato> Guest23890, Installing an anti-virus program defeats the purpose of installing Linux at all
[06:03] <xangua> wow I just noticed I can't take a screenshot using the screenshot key!
[06:03] <mac__> it is like .. some program aint supported for slovenian keyboard.. and it changes while running :-S
[06:03] <xangua> mac__: have you tried removing the english entry in your Text Imput preferences?
[06:03] <MACscr> xangua: uh, most keyboards dont have such a key
[06:04] <pantato> MACscr, I think he's referring to print screen
[06:04] <mac__> possible.. pc was first mented for other users
[06:05] <xangua> Guess time to go back to LTS
[06:07] <mac__> i did not installed.. but i think it was used slovenian language while install
[06:07] <cfhowlett> mac__, ah!  got it!  wait 1
[06:07] <mac__> tnx
[06:08] <mac__> by the way... does shell extensions.. are not supported for slovenia? :-)
[06:09] <mac__> sorry.. wheather extensions
[06:09] <cfhowlett> mac__, settings during install are supposed to be temporary "locale".  sudo locale-gen purge              will clear those.  MIGHT clear you language problems
[06:10] <mac__> ok...
[06:10] <mac__> did entered..  tnx
[06:10] <genesis_> hi
[06:11] <mac__> if id did worked.. and if i ever meet u.. i buy a drink ;-)
[06:11] <cfhowlett> mac__, you might need to logout / login for that to work
[06:11] <mac__> tnx
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | cfhowlett
[06:11] <cfhowlett> genesis_,  ask your ubuntu questions
[06:11] <mac__> tnx a lot
[06:11] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, :)
[06:12] <cfhowlett> mac__, happy2help!
[06:12] <mac__> :-)
[06:12] <genesis_> happy new year to all
[06:13] <mac__> happy new year :-) let all cops die on duty.. :-)
[06:13] <cfhowlett> seriously?
[06:13] <mac__> or at least sleep..
[06:14] <mac__> i dont care.. i was inocent behind the bars..
[06:14] <cfhowlett> mac__, offtopic and likely a violation of this channel rules.  stop.  now.!
[06:14] <mac__> anyway.. gone now.. tnx 4 help

[06:16] <genesis_> sorry ment a simple
[06:16] <elewis> cfhowlett, could you recomend one?
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> elewis: i tryed mullvad for ubuntu once, swedish vpn

[06:20] <genesis_> ok thnx
[06:21] <cfhowlett> genesis_, huh.  perhaps not.
[06:21] <cfhowlett> genesis_, sugar on a stick wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick
[06:22] <genesis_> trying to setup a hackthon in april for the city kids to bring in new blood to linux
[06:22] <cfhowlett> genesis_, this is the original OS for the One Laptop Per Child but ...
[06:22] <cfhowlett> genesis_, y u no edubuntu!
[06:22] <cfhowlett> !edubuntu | genesis_
[06:22] <genesis_> ya seen it..its cool
[06:23] <cfhowlett> genesis_, how old is your target audience?
[06:26] <MACscr> i really wish lxd was already available
[06:26] <phre4k> use a standard Xubuntu, genesis_. Edubuntu is... well... mediocre.
[06:26] <ankit> where is the hackthon being conducted?
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> the edubundles for existing ubuntu system looking neat also: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/AppGuide
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> phre4k: what do you mean by that?
[06:30] <al_nz1> EriC^^: you still here?
[06:31] <phre4k> lotuspsychje: I think the kids will be better off learning a flavour of Ubuntu which they'd actually install at home
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> phre4k: edubuntu can be installed at home also, 14.04 on their site
[06:33] <Stanley00> al_nz1: you still got problem?
[06:33] <phre4k> lotuspsychje: yes, but who actually installs Edubuntu at home?
[06:33] <ankit> hi
[06:34] <ankit> can some one tell me how to automount my hdd partitions
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> !automount | ankit
[06:34] <phre4k> ankit: use autofs or x-systemd-automount
[06:35] <ankit> someont told me to edit fstab filr
[06:35] <ankit> file
[06:37] <GeekMan1222_> can someone help me with chrooting a user into a directory on a drive using sftp pam keeps barking at me that i have invalid permissions and or modes for chroot
[06:37] <GeekMan1222_> I did a chmod 755 through the entire directory path and chowned the path as root:root like i read i should
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> running 6.6.? of openssh if you need a pastebin of the config file i can give it
[06:38] <phre4k> GeekMan1222_: are you root?
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> no
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> the user isnt
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> i am
[06:38] <phre4k> which tutorial are you following?
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> http://jayeshjayan.com/chrooted-sftp-fatal-bad-ownership-or-modes-for-chroot-directory-component/
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> i have spent hours trying to do this
[06:39] <GeekMan1222_> if i remove chroot options from the config file i can login just fine with the other user obv
[06:39] <GeekMan1222_> its most definatly a permissions thing
[06:40] <phre4k> GeekMan1222_: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SFTP_chroot → apart from Arch-specific commands it's a pretty good writeup
[06:40] <phre4k> GeekMan1222_: did you restart SFTP? Are the users in the corresponding group or is the user in the sshd_config?
[06:40] <phre4k> *restart sshd
[06:40] <GeekMan1222_> well i did the group route
[06:41] <GeekMan1222_> the config is loaded restarted the ssh service
[06:41] <GeekMan1222_> there is no sshd service but it updates just the same
[06:41] <GeekMan1222_> i think
[06:41] <GeekMan1222_> cause i can confirm making changes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config are changed when restarting ssh
[06:41] <phre4k> then is the user really in this group?
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> its really in that group even checked
[06:42] <phre4k> groups [user] shows it?
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> i can check again
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> hold on ill check again
[06:42] <phre4k> ok
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> its really in that group
[06:43] <GeekMan1222_> i didnt do the single user path idk if i said that just the match group config path
[06:44] <GeekMan1222_> when i make directory changes i doubt id need to restart the service right? phre4k
[06:44] <GeekMan1222_> that wouldnt make much logical sense
[06:45] <phre4k> GeekMan1222_: no, only with config changes. And ls -l on the folder really shows drwxr-xr-x?
[06:45] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:45] <GeekMan1222_> ill check again though
[06:45] <phre4k> and root:root?
[06:45] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:46] <phre4k> you know after restarting ssh you have to relogin with the user?
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> come again phre4k
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> and yes the path is correct
[06:47] <phre4k> you SFTP with FileZilla or the like?
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> permissions to my knowledge
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> i do testing with filezilla
[06:47] <phre4k> You have to logout and reconnect with FileZilla
[06:48] <phre4k> I don't see any misconfiguration honestly. The Arch Wiki shows the same approach and I always do the same, too.
[06:48] <GeekMan1222_> hold on then
[06:48] <phre4k> look for any CamelCase mistakes or other typos.
[06:49] <GeekMan1222_> ok also i did a few things to my config as well
[06:49] <GeekMan1222_> like Allow Users and Allow Groups
[06:50] <GeekMan1222_> are these options ok to have in there as well i would assume i need them
[06:51] <phre4k> yes, but you can also try to comment them out, reload ssh and logout with filezilla, login again
[06:51] <GeekMan1222_> also when i made the user
[06:51] <GeekMan1222_> -s /bin/false
[06:51] <GeekMan1222_> thats ok
[06:51] <GeekMan1222_> im checking discrepencies with the tutorial you provided
[06:53] <GeekMan1222_> real quick how do i check the home of a user
[06:54] <GeekMan1222_> cause i was trying it that way instead of directly stating the path in the sshd_config
[06:54] <GeekMan1222_> err idk why i asked that
[06:54] <GeekMan1222_> i have google
[06:55] <EriC^^> echo ~<user> ?
[07:00] <al_nz1> EriC^^: that fixed works :-) Tankx
[07:01] <EriC^^> al_nz1: great, no problem :)
[07:03] <GeekMan1222_> phre4k, when im doing that whole path does the final directory need to be set with those permissions say /path/to/home/ home also needs those permissions correct?
[07:03] <GeekMan1222_> if home is to be the chrooted directory start of sorts of the user
[07:11] <yourbeau> there is a huge problem man; the gedit just closes without no error or nothing I just lost a lot of notes I did create ; :[ what to do to check what could have been causing it?
[07:11] <yourbeau> Ubuntu 14.04
[07:11] <cfhowlett> yourbeau, there should be an entry in your logs.
[07:12] <yourbeau> cfhowlett, where are the logs ? /var/log ?
[07:12] <yourbeau> I am so sad
[07:12] <yourbeau> I lost my work
[07:12] <cfhowlett> yourbeau, save early, save often ...
[07:15] <bubbasaures> yourbeau, Are you running gedit in root?
[07:18] <yourbeau> cfhowlett, but wtf man
[07:18] <yourbeau> bubbasaures, no as a user only
[07:18] <bubbasaures> yourbeau, mine always asks, must be a config on this.
[07:21] <cfhowlett> yourbeau, has it autoclosed more than once?
[07:23] <OerHeks> yourbeau, it is not easy to set the autosave function on, see http://askubuntu.com/a/178258
[07:26] <neionz> I've got 32MB ram.. what do I do with it?
[07:26] <cfhowlett> !details | neionz
[07:27] <GeekMan1222_> god this is annoying right now
[07:27] <cfhowlett> neionz, 32mb?  no ubuntu for you!
[07:27] <GeekMan1222_> Pam shes being a bitch
[07:27] <cfhowlett> GeekMan1222_, wrong channel
[07:28] <neionz> cfhowlett: no ubuntu for me? :p why?
[07:28] <neionz> GeekMan1222_: what are you talking about?
[07:28] <cfhowlett> neionz, because 32 mb isn't enough
[07:28] <GeekMan1222_> getting my sftp user to work
[07:28] <neionz> !details GeekMan1222_
[07:28] <GeekMan1222_> XD
[07:28] <neionz> !details | GeekMan1222_
[07:28] <GeekMan1222_> dude ik
[07:29] <GeekMan1222_> if you want a log i can provide one though not much use and a config file
[07:29] <neionz> GeekMan1222_: what do you mean by dude? Elaborate plox :)
[07:29] <GeekMan1222_> phre4k, was trying to help me a second ago
[07:30] <neionz> wait, I've got an idea! :D Ramdisk! Because I store all kind of tmp junk
[07:30] <DeaDSouL__> hi... is there anyway to install ubuntu to usb... not from usb.. and not burning live-image to usb.. but actually install it on usb as if it is a physical hard-drive ?
[07:31] <neionz> is anyone in here using a ram disk (or condoms for that matter?)
[07:31] <GeekMan1222_> basically i have a user i want to have chrooted in sftp and i have my directorys set to the right permissions i think i have checked like twice now. Anyways pam is yelling at me saying that my permissions or chroot mode is not right i have tried a million things
[07:31] <cfhowlett> !guidelines | neionz, stay on channel topic
[07:31] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: yeah, the same way you install it on a disk
[07:31] <GeekMan1222_> i have checked spelling and camel caseing i been at this all day now
[07:32] <GeekMan1222_> neionz, the funny thing is if i remove the chroot options in the command line i can log in with said user but thats not what i want
[07:32] <neionz> cfhowlett: I was on topic, but I did also add the offensive word (condom) since I'm trying to promote positive actions against aids.
[07:32] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: I tried that.. but it doesn't boot
[07:32] <cfhowlett> neionz, this is ubuntu.  stay on topic
[07:32] <fnasce98> Cerio
[07:32] <rodolfo1998> ciao
[07:32] <cfhowlett> !guidelines | neionz
[07:32] <rodolfo1998> tutto bene?
[07:33] <fnasce98> si si
[07:33] <neionz> cfhowlett: I'm trying to, mind you, but you're spamming me constantly
[07:33] <fnasce98> hahahhaah neionz
[07:33] <neionz> cfhowlett: ignored
[07:33] <svetlana> neionz: thanks, a bit too big of a room, relax, we have a small bot here
[07:33] <rodolfo1998> codeblocks c'è anche per linux?
[07:33] <cfhowlett> !fr | rodolfo1998
[07:33] <fnasce98> si vai sul software center
[07:33] <rodolfo1998> (y)
[07:34] <rodolfo1998> quanto pesa?
[07:34] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: have you set up your bios to boot from usb?
[07:35] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: yes... and even i selected it manually.. same thing
[07:36] <Ben64> DeaDSouL__: did you install grub to the usb
[07:37] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: you're doing it wrong then, some detail is wrong. Likely you haven't partitioned the USB right and didn't get the boot loader (i.e. grub) installed on the right partition
[07:37] <DeaDSouL__> Ben64: yes.. even tried to install it to main MBR... didn't work
[07:38] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: I let the installer to automatically partitioning it
[07:38] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: is the usb plugged into your computer right now?
[07:39] <DeaDSouL__> no
[07:39] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: no... but i can do it
[07:42] <GeekMan1222_> im an idiot
[07:43] <GeekMan1222_> lol
[07:43] <GeekMan1222_> 0755 i did 0775
[07:43] <GeekMan1222_> finally
[07:43] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: yeah, and paste its partition on pastebin.com
[07:43] <GeekMan1222_> FINALLY
[07:43] <xorox90> I want to redirect http packet to 3033 port but ubuntu iptables don't redirect it any problem with this command? 'iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3033'
[07:44] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: paste the output of  lsblk /dev/sba  or whatever your usb device will be
[07:59] <SuperLag> So if you've added ttf-ancient-fonts, supposedly that's supposed to allow you to type in Emoji. I'm not sure how you actually do that, though
[08:00] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: here: http://pastebin.com/UwLk5neh
[08:04] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: which partition is grub installed in?
[08:04] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: never mind. What's the full output  of "file -s /dev/sdd"
[08:06] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: /dev/sdd1
[08:07] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: /dev/sdd: sticky x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 15294464 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x5, starthead 74, startsector 15298558, 755714 sectors, code offset 0x63
[08:08] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: there is no boot loader in your sdd
[08:10] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: how come?
[08:11] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: the output should have contained "GRand Unified Bootloader" which means that the MBR of sdd contains grub. It's the MBR of sdd that's loaded when you try to boot from it
[08:11] <cfhowlett> neionz, could he have installed it elsewhere?
[08:11] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: you installed the loader on sdd1 instead of sdd, but that's only a guess. I'm not so good with boot loaders
[08:12] <neionz> cfhowlett: I don't know, but here's the expected output http://serverfault.com/questions/61400/how-do-i-tell-if-grub-is-installed-on-a-device
[08:12] <Ben64> doesn't work here... /dev/sdd: x86 boot sector
[08:12] <cfhowlett> DeaDSouL__, EZ fix?  install it to /dev/sda as expected
[08:13] <neionz> cfhowlett, DeaDSouL__: sdd, not sda (or you'll wipe your disk :p)
[08:13] <cfhowlett> !  sorry!
[08:13] <neionz> Ben64: what doesn't work?
[08:13] <Ben64> how come my 'file' doesn't give as much info
[08:14] <Ben64> i know grub is installed on sdd, but on my system it only says " x86 boot sector"
[08:14] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: how to install it on /dev/sdd
[08:15] <EriC^^> Ben64: same here, gpt partition tabe
[08:15] <cfhowlett> neionz, that's an OLD link and is inaccurate
[08:15] <superrorc> hi there!
[08:15] <EriC^^> on a msdos it says : DOS/MBR boot sector
[08:15] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: seems like I'm wrong about the output
[08:16] <superrorc> i configured network via interfaces, how can i set dns servers via resolvconf?
[08:16] <cfhowlett> Ben64, my grub is definitely on /dev/sda but file -s /dev/sda shows only paste.ubuntu.com/9691694/
[08:17] <Ben64> cfhowlett: yeah same
[08:18] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: my guess is that your installation is correct then. It seems so by your output from "fdisk -l /dev/sdd"
[08:19] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: is this uefi?
[08:19] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: not it is not
[08:22] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: it's not uefi?
[08:22] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: lol, wait.. windows 8? It blocks all other operating systems
[08:22] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: you'll have to config lots of stuff in your uefi/bios then
[08:23] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: lol, sorry... no it's no
[08:23] <DeaDSouL__> not *
[08:24] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: can you paste the output of?      sudo dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sdd 2>/dev/null | strings
[08:24] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: what's your issue?
[08:25] <DeaDSouL__> neoark: i have another linux installed on the main harddrive.. and it's working fine... the thing is that I can not boot the installed-linux-on-usb
[08:26] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: did you select it in the bios?
[08:26] <Ben64> DeaDSouL__: you probably did not install grub to it...
[08:26] <DeaDSouL__> Ben64: how can I check if the grub is installed on in or not?
[08:27] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: yes i tried that
[08:27] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: paste the output of  "sudo dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sdd 2>/dev/null | strings"   it will contain the string "grub" etc if grup is properly installed on the MBR
[08:27] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: ok, when you selected it in the bios, what happened?
[08:27] <Ben64> neionz's command should do it
[08:27] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: freez
[08:28] <Ben64> what do you mean freeze
[08:28] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: what strings ?
[08:28] <Ben64> theres a command, called strings
[08:29] <Ben64> type it just how it is above
[08:29] <DeaDSouL__> grep ?
[08:29] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: what do you mean by it freezes?
[08:29] <DeaDSouL__> ok,.. then i will have to install it
[08:29] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: you're using lubuntu?
[08:29] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: it shows "grub loading" and do nothing after that
[08:29] <EriC^^> if it shows grub loading then grub is probably installed
[08:30] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: can you pastebin sudo parted -l ?
[08:30] <saki`> so i have ubuntu 14.04 running on a c720. I woke up today and the trackpad's behaving erratically and barely working.
[08:30] <saki`> is this too specific an issue to ask for help here?
[08:32] <saki`> i'm using a custom distro that has all the drivers bundled with it. I'm just trying to look for a way to test whats wrong
[08:33] <saki`> so i can go about fixing it
[08:33] <Ben64> doesn't sound like ubuntu
[08:33] <OerHeks> saki`, so it isn't the real ubuntu?
[08:34] <saki`> its ubuntu just with the drivers for the c720 preinstalled
[08:34] <saki`> https://www.distroshare.com/distros/get/12/  this basically
[08:35] <saki`> i hadn't run an upgrade between it working and not so i can't think of why it would suddenly break
[08:35] <OerHeks> "- More touchpad config tweaks" sounds nice, but you're in trouble now
[08:36] <saki`> i installed it several versions ago
[08:36] <saki`> no tweaks then
[08:37] <saki`> it was just the chrome os drivers installed on ubuntu
[08:38] <saki`> now he's gone ahead and made some tweaks but again, haven't run an upgrade of any sort, and I didn't see any custom repositories anywhere
[08:39] <DeaDSouL__> neoark: please check this: http://pastebin.com/3ZCapHed
[08:39] <saki`> so it can't be that as far as I understand it
[08:41] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^, Ben64: http://pastebin.com/3ZCapHed
[08:42] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: sudo parted -l
[08:43] <stevenm> Where can I discuss packaging?
[08:47] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/QHME5Q2j
[08:52] <DeaDSouL__> any help guys
[08:54] <saki`> OerHeks, what were you saying?
[08:55] <yourbeau> cfhowlett, yep it did happen before
[08:55] <SuperLag> So if you've added ttf-ancient-fonts, supposedly that's supposed to allow you to type in Emoji. I'm not sure how you actually do that, though
[08:55] <SuperLag> How do you actually type Emoji characters in Ubuntu?
[08:55] <yourbeau> cfhowlett, what should I do ?
[08:58] <OerHeks> saki`, i don't know where to look for, what tweak is bugging you.
[08:59] <saki`> i'm saying there are no tweaks. the version i was using is a simple port of the chrome OS trackpad drivers over to ubuntu
[08:59] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: type sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt
[09:00] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: ok
[09:00] <saki`> and there aren't any custom repositories so I imagine that would cover most of what went wrong
[09:00] <EriC^^> for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /run /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[09:00] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: ^^
[09:02] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: done
[09:02] <EriC^^> sudo chroot /mnt
[09:03] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: ok
[09:03] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc
[09:03] <OerHeks> saki`, there must be tweaks, as the touchpad needs a lot of settings to make it work.
[09:03] <bitnumus> hi all, i accidently removed a bunch of packages by trying to remove wine and not noticing a regex match/change that doesn't make sense at all... i pressed enter too quickly. How can i make sure ubuntu has the packages it needs to run before i restart?
[09:04] <bazhang> try installing the ubuntu-desktop package bitnumus
[09:04] <bitnumus> bazhang, yea i did that one, there was a few, any others you can think of?
[09:04] <bazhang> not offhand no
[09:05] <bitnumus> ok thanks, anyone else?
[09:05] <EriC^^> bitnumus: just check what you removed
[09:05] <MACscr> grr, my new server (Lenovo TS140) only has 5 sata ports and i need 6, so i added a PCI Express SATA controller than i had which is typically supported well by linux distros. Ive tried it into different slots, yet lspci doesnt seem to see it. Any suggestions?
[09:05] <bitnumus> EriC^^, how? terminal scroll doens't go back that far
[09:05] <EriC^^> /var/log/apt/history.log
[09:05] <bitnumus> ta
[09:05] <EriC^^> check that file
[09:06] <bitnumus> EriC^^, quite a lot by the time i killed dpkg it seems
[09:06] <bitnumus> is there a cleaner file you know of i could copy/paste from to reinstall without scripting something ?
[09:06] <EriC^^> bitnumus: get the list, parse it, and xargs reinstall it
[09:06] <EriC^^> it's very easy to parse it
[09:07] <EriC^^> hold on
[09:07] <bitnumus> is it? :S
[09:07] <EriC^^> get the list first and paste it into a file
[09:08] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: done.. should i reboot and try now ?
[09:08] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: no
[09:08] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: grub-install --recheck /dev/sdd
[09:08] <EriC^^> bitnumus: type sed -ie 's/([^()]*)//g' /path/to/list
[09:09] <EriC^^> that'll remove the stuff between the ( )
[09:09] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^:  Installation finished. No error reported.
[09:09] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: update-grub
[09:11] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: done
[09:12] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: ok, did it mention picking up linux kernels?
[09:13] <bitnumus> EriC^^, cool, there is one whitespace after the package name, what to add to remove that also ?
[09:13] <EriC^^> did you remove the commas?
[09:13] <bitnumus> its like this    libkde3support4:amd64 , libktexteditor4:amd64 , l
[09:13] <EriC^^> sed -i 's/ , / /g' /path/to/list
[09:14] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/VdCW0Vis
[09:14] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: why did it mention /dev/sdc1 ???
[09:14] <EriC^^> bitnumus: cat /path/to/list | xargs sudo apt-get install
[09:14] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: probably has another os
[09:15] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: oh.. yes
[09:15] <bitnumus> EriC^^, excellent thanks
[09:16] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: hmm try to reboot
[09:16] <EriC^^> it's kind of odd it said that, i dont know
[09:16] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: type exit, then restart the pc
[09:17] <EriC^^> bitnumus: no problem
[09:18] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: ok.. doing it now
[09:18] <bitnumus> lets hope the restart doesn't kill my box :D
[09:20] <EriC^^> bitnumus: :D
[09:21] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: lol... same thing ... "GRUB loading." ... "Welcome to GRUB!" ......... and freezes !!!
[09:21] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: if you hold shift what happens
[09:21] <EriC^^> ( while the pc boots )
[09:22] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: is it very easy for you to disconnect other hdds?
[09:22] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: nothing
[09:24] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: it's a laptop :(
[09:24] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: is the bios set to msdos?
[09:26] <MagePsycho> which one should we use in .sh script? #!/bin/sh vs #!/bin/bash
[09:26] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: idk... I'll check now

[09:44] <Stanley00> !nomodeset | ilea I think did will help
[09:48] <ilea> yes that page is helpful but after it boots in 2 minutes or less it goes to a corupted splash screen and freezes i dont have time to enter this comands and make it stable
[09:50] <Shen> anonops.com
[09:50] <Stanley00> ilea: you type in before it boot. when ubuntu show a purple screen, press ESC (IIRC), and you will see how to insert that (via F6 key, I think)
[09:51] <Stanley00> ilea: follow guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions to enter that nomodeset option
[09:53] <ilea> ooo ok strange that some hardware have this thing and needs to set it from comands on my laptop i dont have any isue with my intel hd graphics
[09:54] <Stanley00> ilea: intel is well support in linux :3

[10:00] <cfhowlett> no_gravity, shoot it and edit OR ... save the html(5)   ... the coding should allow you to extract the valuable images
[10:00] <Stanley00> ilea: it is nomodeset, but acpi may help too
[10:01] <huvollo> hello ladies and gents! it is next to impossible to watch any streaming on firefox, due to missing 'flash'---- is there any alternative?
[10:02] <cfhowlett> !flash | huvollo
[10:02] <cfhowlett> huvollo, or use the chromium browser
[10:03] <Stanley00> cfhowlett: chromium has flash builtin now?
[10:03] <huvollo> cfhowlett, I am looking for a flash alternative.
[10:03] <Stanley00> huvollo: if that site support html5, you're lucky, but if not, you'll need flash
[10:04] <cfhowlett> Stanley00, I seem to recall that chromium is html5 friendly
[10:04] <Stanley00> cfhowlett: html5, got it :3
[10:04] <huvollo> Stanley00, I have problem watching streamings often..so it seems they are all html5-unfriendly
[10:06] <yourbeau> why are APT based distro rocking the stage at this moment ?
[10:06] <yourbeau> is it because of Ubuntu ?
[10:06] <Stanley00> huvollo: you can look at !gnash too, but I had a bad time with it long time ago. I'm not sure how is it now.
[10:09] <huvollo> I tried chromium, but it doesnt work, either. do i need to install something?
[10:10] <cfhowlett> huvollo, dpkg -l | grep flashplugin-installer | pastebinit
[10:11] <huvollo> cfhowlett, is there a way to watch them without flash?
[10:11] <cfhowlett> huvollo, depends on the provider
[10:12] <huvollo> cfhowlett, but I mean, within ubuntu, is there an alternative plugin at the moment? earlier there used to be that.
[10:13] <cfhowlett> huvollo, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer  from the multiverse repo
[10:13] <hateball> huvollo: there is gnash
[10:13] <huvollo> cfhowlett, does gnash really serve as the substitute?
[10:14] <cfhowlett> huvollo, never used it ...
[10:14] <isaac_> hello
[10:15] <huvollo> cfhowlett, i see. thank you for your help!

[10:46] <zim_> hey all, i'm having gfx card driver issues
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> !deails | zim_
[10:48] <zim_> i installed the ATI Radeon driver yesterday and it stopped me from booting into my desktop, so i had to try 100 different things to uninstall it again and reset X11 to be able to boot back into my desktop again
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> details | zim_
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> zim_: where did you install ati driver from?
[10:49] <zim_> i downloaded the driver from the AMD website
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> zim_: did the driver ubuntu choose, not work for you?
[10:49] <zim_> and installed it via the command line
[10:49] <zim_> nope it's not working with sid meiers beyond earth
[10:49] <zim_> the screen goes blank when i try to load it via steam
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> zim_: ubuntu version?
[10:50] <zim_> 14.04
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> zim_: did you install ubuntu 14.04 with internet and updates enabled during install?
[10:51] <zim_> yep
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> zim_: did you test other drivers at your additional drivers section?
[10:51] <zim_> nope, there's nothing there under the "additional drivers" section
[10:52] <lotuspsychje> hmm okay
[10:53] <lotuspsychje> zim_: maybe try to enter grub (recoverymode) failsafeX
[10:53] <lotuspsychje> zim_: and fix broken packages from there maybe
[10:54] <imdea> Hi, I'm trying to install MATE 1.8.1 in Ubuntu 14.04.1 (LTS) but after following instructions on MATE's website when I try to install it by executing: 'apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras' I get an error that says that some packages could not be installed and that there are unment dependencies. Any ideas?
[10:54] <zim_> i did and it wouldn't boot
[10:54] <phoenix1995> My WiFi doesn't work in Ubuntu as it does in Windows. The card is rtl8187...that's all..
[10:54] <lotuspsychje> !realtek | phoenix1995
[10:54] <lotuspsychje> phoenix1995: try also lastest drivers from realteks website
[10:55] <zim_> failsafex didn't work properly
[10:55] <zim_> any other ideas?
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> imdea: there's an article about mate on omgubuntu
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> zim_: hmm, not sure mate sorry, maybe reinstall trusty fresh
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> bbl dinner
[10:56] <Kira9204> if the drivers fail should't he have a TTY at ctrl+alt+f1?
[10:56] <Kira9204> and from there have a normal terminal enviroment?
[10:56] <imdea> I know, but it doesn't work. That's why I'm asking.
[10:56] <zim_> you talking about me Kira?
[10:56] <Kira9204> yeah
[10:57] <Kira9204> zim_: i've had problems with nvidia drivers before, but they have always been solved by updati g system and installing via additional drivers
[10:57] <zim_> yeah i was able to access the tty, that's how i was able to boot into X again, but i had to uninstall the ATI driver first
[10:58] <zim_> there's nothing under additional drivers, it's all blanked out with nothing there
[10:58] <Kira9204> zim_: what card do you have?
[10:58] <zim_> Mobility Radeon HD 4650/5165
[10:59] <frenda> lotuspsychje: The link tells: 5 GB
[10:59] <frenda> 5GB + 3GB = 8GB
[10:59] <zim_> lotuspsychje is gone
[11:00] <frenda> Will it work?
[11:00] <phoenix1995> ubottu: No help. Option #1 is for older versions (and only support WEP) and Option #2 doesn't give much hope (they say it's still not functioning with 30-50% reduce in speed.) HELP! :/
[11:00] <Kira9204> zim_: Sadly AMD dropped support for all 4xxx cards summer 2013, and the legacy driver is incompatible with ubuntu >12
[11:00] <frenda> 5GB for Ubuntu and 3GB extra space for home and extra apps such as vlc, etc.?
[11:01] <amokaci> :q
[11:01] <Kira9204> zim_: the Open source driver should work however
[11:01] <Kira9204> and as far as i know, the performace diffrence is is pretty small at this point
[11:02] <zim_> that sucks
[11:02] <Kira9204> zim_: Yeh, AMD has always been lazy with drivers in my opinion
[11:02] <zim_> sid meiers beyond earth doesn't work with this driver
[11:03] <Kira9204> zim_: but good news is that 12.04 is supported until 1017
[11:03] <Kira9204> *2017
[11:03] <zim_> it gives me a blank screen everytime i try to start it up
[11:03] <phoenix1995> Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11b/g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter...doesn't work in Ubuntu 14.04, 12.04 or any version..The WiFi is connected, sometimes a page happens to open (though with reduced speed)..overall no consistency
[11:05] <phoenix1995> Anybody having similar problem with their network card and had some solutions...!?
[11:05] <Kira9204> zim_: you best bet then is probably to stay at 12 (still supported) or get in contact with one of the Open Source AMD/ATI developers
[11:06] <Kira9204> im not sure where, but they probably have an IRC like this one
[11:06] <zim_> what will they be able to do?
[11:06] <phoenix1995> Please help as I'm not wanting to use Ubuntu till the problem gets fixed..! P.S The card doesn't actually work in any Linux version..it's detected , connects to network but no internet (90% speed reduced)
[11:07] <wafflejock> phoenix1995, hi again :) did a quick googling for that model and 14.04 this post has an answer that's accepted and sounds like the same problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/453110/rtl8187-wireless-card-drops-signal-within-seconds
[11:08] <Kira9204> zim_: Most likley they will help you file a bug report
[11:08] <Kira9204> debug the problem
[11:08] <phoenix1995> wafflejock: Hi again (we met in #programming :D)..thanks I'll give it a quick try..!
[11:08] <Kira9204> so that they might be able to fix it in an update
[11:08] <zim_> oh yeah
[11:09] <zim_> thanks
[11:09] <Kira9204> np :)
[11:09] <zim_> back tomorrow
[11:11] <phoenix1995> Oh no I seemed to have opened 500 songs in separate VLC windows..now nothing is working except chat..
[11:14] <stealthfigther> hi i am new in this chat and new as well using ubuntu
[11:14] <wafflejock> phoenix1995, you can Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login to a TTY Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to your display, when in the tty you can use sudo killall vlc, to close them all down
[11:15] <Jarvix> how do you burn a rom img to sdcard in ubuntu?
[11:15] <wafflejock> Jarvix, typically just use dd command
[11:15] <wafflejock> Jarvix, like, dd if=someimage.img of=/dev/sda bs=4M
[11:16] <Jarvix> wafflejock, not familiar with dd
[11:16] <wafflejock> Jarvix, what ROM are you trying to put on an sdcard?
[11:16] <phoenix1995> wafflejock: Oh didn't know that..thank you you've helped me much today :)
[11:16] <Jarvix> trying to flash factory firmware for android tablet
[11:16] <wafflejock> Jarvix, it just does a block by block copy from a image file to a disk or vice versa, it's how you typically make an image from a disk or restore one
[11:16] <wafflejock> phoenix1995, np
[11:16] <kaste> why does unity still lock the screen even though I disabled the shortcut?
[11:17] <Jarvix> wafflejock, thank you
[11:18] <wafflejock> Jarvix, np typically only times I'm really doing this it's for flashing an SD card for a RasPi or BeagleBone black usually the sites providing the image have some instructions but if you google dd and what you're trying to do you'll probably find more specific examples
[11:20] <Jarvix> wafflejock, the tablet OEM site gives the firmware and a program to flash the sd card, but its a windows exe, ive tried wine and playonlinux
[11:20] <Jarvix> no luck
[11:21] <wafflejock> Jarvix, got a link for what you're looking at, maybe a little Google fu will get you an answer
[11:22] <jarnos> Any idea why apt-get does not understand its options, if -- is used as the last option?
[11:24] <Jarvix> http://www.craigelectronics.com/site/pdetails.php?id=414
[11:24] <Jarvix> daughter's tablet. its stuck in a boot loop, happened out of the blue
[11:30] <wafflejock> Jarvix, hmm well if it's bricked and there's no harm you can just give DD a shot, not sure if the OEM there packaged the whole disk onto that image or if it's just supposed to be for one of the partitions, that's my only concern see https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-93488
[11:31] <wafflejock> Jarvix, do you have access to a windows machine? you may want to just go that route in the interest of not completely bricking the device in case it doesn't actually have all these partitions in that image file
[11:31] <rahc> how can I stop the dash from sending information to canonical?
[11:31] <wafflejock> Jarvix, if you want to go with dd, you can use lsblk in the terminal to see the target devices "name"
[11:31] <Jarvix> wafflejock, when i turn it on to try and boot into recovery using button combos, all i get is the android icon laying down with a red triangle
[11:32] <Jarvix> wafflejock, like this?  http://www.udoo.org/getting-started/creating-a-bootable-micro-sd-card-from-image/
[11:32] <rahc> and also remove shopping results from the search?
[11:32] <adsc> it's too bad that the binary nvidia driver doesn't seem to give access to temp sensors
[11:37] <Greylocks> rahc, have a look at this: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[11:39] <wafflejock> Jarvix, yup basically "if" is for the input (in this case the image file) "of" is the output which should be the SD card (critical to get this right) bs is the block size, typically 4M is good doesn't take too long and usually works
[11:39] <wafflejock> Jarvix, you can run lsblk, in a terminal before plugging in the SD card then plug it in and run lsblk again, the new thing you see show up is the SD card device you'll need to use for the of
[11:42] <Jarvix> wafflejock, thanks a lot, im gonna give it a go
[11:42] <rahc> gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes "['more_suggestions-amazon.scope', 'more_suggestions-u1ms.scope', 'more_suggestions-populartracks.scope', 'music-musicstore.scope', 'more_suggestions-ebay.scope', 'more_suggestions-ubuntushop.scope', 'more_suggestions-skimlinks.scope']"
[11:42] <rahc> that's pretty esoteric
[11:42] <rahc> thanks
[11:45] <wafflejock> Jarvix, yeah good luck, typically it can take something like 10-15 minutes for it to complete (depends on image size and SD card speed and stuff) but you don't really get any feedback from it, there are a couple of ways to probe it to see how far it's progressed but just let it run for a bit
[11:46] <blackangelpr> could some one tell me if i need to worry about this dmesg alerts ?   http://pastebin.com/vFaU6rhm
[11:58] <the_tricky> hello there, guys
[11:59] <aperez> hi guys
[11:59] <aperez> how are you?
[11:59] <the_tricky> i've just made a bootable USB stick to install a Linux distro
[11:59] <the_tricky> after that i've formatted it to be clean
[12:00] <the_tricky> how do i revert its label now?
[12:00] <the_tricky> before that it was just containing its capacity
[12:01] <Jarvix> wafflejock, you still around?
[12:01] <the_tricky> now it contains the distro's name
[12:01] <wafflejock> Jarvix, yup what's up?
[12:03] <Jarvix> how do you pm?
[12:09] <arun_> hi all
[12:17] <krypton> My ubuntu 14.04 is booting very slow.
[12:19] <kokut> Anyone knows a good program to make resumes? I'm a little bit sick of using Inkscape, its very powerful but time consuming too and doesn't provide many guides
[12:20] <arun_> guys, is NICs bonding possible with this http://linoxide.com/linux-command/interface-nics-bonding-linux ?
[12:22] <DJones> kokut: Resumes as in CV for job applications? If so I just use Libreoffice writer
[12:24] <kokut> DJones: yea, i just found this http://i.stack.imgur.com/CBLw2.png and it looks really good, done in LaTeX but I don't have much time to learn that now so i'm gonna go with libreoffice
[12:26] <DJones> kokut: Right, thats not something I've used
[12:29] <wafflejock> kokut, you may want to check out markdown too think with some markdown and a little CSS you could make something similar and pretty easy to update
[12:30] <wafflejock> kokut, there's an editor called ReText that can show you a live preview and lets you import CSS, basically you can write the stuff with markdown (which is like simplified HTML) and generate HTML out of it
[12:30] <wafflejock> https://github.com/there4/markdown-resume <-- might do this myself, take my own advice here :)
[12:33] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:36] <kokut> wafflejock: looks good, the LaTeX one looks better tho, might give it a try because looks easy and fast to set up
[12:40] <gavin__> hello
[12:40] <gavin__> anybody here now
[12:41] <gavin__> hello
[12:41] <BluesKaj> hi
[12:41] <gavin__> i am new here
[12:41] <lotuspsychje> gavin__: this channel if for ubuntu support questions
[12:42] <BluesKaj> just ask your question , gavin__
[12:42] <krypton> My Ubuntu 14.04 (self compiled Kernel) is booting very slow.
[12:42] <peter__> i have a question. I'm using openSUSE 13.2 Gnome Shell 3.14.1, there is one thing anoying, which is when i connect USB stick to my laptop, i couldn't open it with nautilus from the system msg window, instead, it only give me the option of using disk usage check tool, can anyone tell me how to correct it to open file with nautilus as default opening application?
[12:42] <lotuspsychje> peter__: only ubuntu support here mate
[12:43] <lotuspsychje> peter__: try the #suse channel
[12:43] <the_tricky> anybody? how do i revert an USB stick label to a default one?
[12:43] <the_tricky> in Ubuntu, of course
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> !info gparted | the_tricky
[12:44] <cfhowlett> peter__, wrong channel.  this is ubuntu support
[12:44] <gavin__> my question:when i want to installer two softwares  at the same time,the second one is told that "/var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11:" is unusable
[12:44] <the_tricky> lotuspsychje: yeah, i know about gparted
[12:44] <peter__> yeah, i know, just think this is something about gnome shell
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> !aptlock | gavin__
[12:44] <the_tricky> lotuspsychje: but if i leave the label field empty, nothing changes
[12:47] <gavin__> ubottu_:and this is useful to install two,or even more softwares at the same time?
[12:48] <gavin__> i wonder where are the people here from?
[12:48] <johnny_bravo> hey guys
[12:49] <johnny_bravo> anyone knows any way in bash to source a file but not execute it?
[12:49] <johnny_bravo> i need the VARs from the file but i dont wanna run it
[12:49] <johnny_bravo> source /path/to/file executes the whole thing
[12:50] <DJones> gavin__: What the bot means is that if you're installing one piece of software via command line and trying to use synaptic or any other gui package manager, you can only do one thing at a time
[12:52] <gavin__> DJones:i got it
[12:52] <gavin__> thx
[13:00] <neopsyche> Hi all. I hope you are having a nice day/night.  I have a comment of woe.  No matter how hard I try.. ACPI issues are causing kworker (along with something to do with sandybridge architechture) to cause computer slowdown on a samsung ultrabook. I can turn acpi off completely but then no power mangagement . for the mostpart. from what I can tell.
[13:03] <gavin__> i wonder where are the people here from,i am from China
[13:03] <EriC^^> wonder in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:03] <EriC^^> :P
[13:04] <marshal0505> lol
[13:08] <gavin__> anybody from America?
[13:12] <blacknred0> ok - I think I might need some help.  I am trying to create a my own self-signed SMIME certificate that I can later import into my iPhone. I have no problem creating it and using the cert in Thunderbird or Mail (Apple), but when I import it into iOS, the cert is not found since it doesn't have the right extentions. I've tested everything that I could, but nothing seem to be working.  I even rebooted my machine after making changes to
[13:12] <blacknred0>  "openssl.cnf". Here is the steps that I followed -> https://gist.github.com/richieforeman/3166387. Any thoughts?
[13:13] <cfhowlett> blacknred0, first thought: ask #apple about #apple problems
[13:15] <_dreamer> Hello, I have been running ubuntu 14.04 LTS for a while now on my laptop. I would like to install windows 7 for running my games instead of using cross over or wine. I am kind of petrified because I do not want to ruin my installation and would like to ask you for a good guide on this matter. Also if you have any useful tips  that would be nice.
[13:15] <blacknred0> cfhowlett - I tried there yesterday and they mention that it might be a openssl issue since the cert is not exporting the extensions.  What it is interesting is that when I run the command to create the crt and try to open it, it says that the cert is unsupported.
[13:16] <_dreamer> I want to keep my ubuntu installation, but usually I go about it the opposite way, windows first and then ubuntu...
[13:16] <ByT3b0N3> hi guys
[13:16] <ByT3b0N3>  anyone knows how to get page size of a flash drive?
[13:16] <adsc> you should, because ubuntu cares about other oses, while windows doesn't
[13:17] <adsc> _dreamer: the easiest thing to do would be to add another hard drive just for windows
[13:17] <heeraj> just install virtualbox and then use windows
[13:17] <_dreamer> adsc: It's a laptop
[13:18] <adsc> heeraj, _dreamer: virtualization is a bad choice for gaming
[13:18] <adsc> _dreamer: then you have to make space on your drive for a new partition that windows can use
[13:18] <adsc> _dreamer: you can use gparted for partition resizing and adding a new partition
[13:19] <BluesKaj_> dual booting is bit more work to switch over from one OS to the other, but it's worth it
[13:19] <_dreamer> adsc: what I am scared of is that my grub will not tolerate that kind of treatment :P
[13:20] <BluesKaj_> that's what gtub is for :)\
[13:20] <BluesKaj_> grub rather
[13:20] <wafflejock> ah never heard of gtub :)
[13:20] <wafflejock> sounds fun
[13:21] <blackangelpr> could anyone tell me if i need to worry about this http://pastebin.com/1hSKjPLp   dmesg alerts ? :p
[13:21] <_dreamer> so if I make a new ntfs partition with gparted I don have to do anything else but to enjoy my computer?
[13:21] <rrr> why the speed of scp is gradually going down to zero?
[13:21] <adsc> _dreamer: yes, you will have to reinstall grub, because windows is overwriting it with its own bootloader
[13:22] <rrr> i believe scp uses ssh protocol, is that normal for ssh protocol?
[13:22] <_dreamer> adsc: And how do I do that after it gets f****d by windows?
[13:22] <adsc> _dreamer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6317/how-can-i-install-windows-after-ive-installed-ubuntu
[13:22] <gavin__> how to change a channel
[13:23] <adsc> with /join
[13:23] <adsc> append channel name
[13:23] <BluesKaj_> _dreamer, it's quite simple really
[13:30] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, something in particular making you nervous in there
[13:30] <tymat> I'm trying to find out how to determine the configuration/compile/linker flags used for a specific apt package?
[13:32] <geirha> tymat:   apt-get source pgkname   (without sudo)   and then look in  srcpkgname-version/debian/
[13:32] <blackangelpr> wafflejock, at the end mention [   59.001218] systemd-hostnamed[2932]: Warning: nss-myhostname is not installed. Changing the local hostname might make it unresolveable. Please install nss-myhostname! but the information about this its not clear at all :( and other stuff i am not sure about ... like why ati drivers are showing errors so far my cards its supported and running well
[13:32] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, typically just good to use to check if some hardware is failing and you want to see any messages being captured at that level, the warnings shouldn't be anything to worry about though
[13:33] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, do you plan to change the machine hostname... if not I would't worry about that warning
[13:33] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, insofar as the graphics stuff is concerned same thing if it isn't actually a problem for you wouldn't worry about it
[13:34] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, don't really see the ATI failure you're talking about anyhow though it looks like it's just a message that the signature for the driver wasn't "acceptable"
[13:37] <blackangelpr> wafflejock, it just warning message almost half way on the top but its okay appreciated XD if its nothing that will break my 14.04.1 i am happy then just upgraded to kernel 3.18.1 everything works fine except a bug with vmware so just be aware anyone that would want to upgrade
[13:37] <mtaler> hello. i am trying to use 14.04 with as the UI language and german settings for time/date, paper size etc and it doesn't seem to work very well

[14:36] <ijks> hi, is this the right place to ask support questions? i believe i just really f-ed up my install...
[14:36] <cfhowlett> ijks, ask.  details...
[14:36] <kahoz> i hope it is
[14:37] <kahoz> i'm need help too, i'm having problems connecting to a wifi network - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9693010/ - i already tried to disable N and ipv6 but does not help
[14:38] <ijks> alright. running 14.04 + Win7. was building something from source, required libncurses. didn't work, so i gave up, tried to uninstall libncurses, removed wrong package, pressed enter like an idiot, and apt-get removed everything
[14:38] <ijks> now ubuntu doesn't even show up in grub...
[14:38] <cfhowlett> ijks, not gonna ask "how" but ... WOW!
[14:39] <ijks> yah... i think it must've been a library that everything was dependent on. guess there wasn't a fail safe against that...
[14:39] <ijks> so, is there any way to salvage my install or should i just grab my files and do a fresh install?
[14:40] <AvatarA> so now just Win7 shows up in grub menu?
[14:40] <cfhowlett> ijks, cure: boot an  ubuntu USB.  ( You DO keep one or 2 of those handy, right?)  reinstall grub.  if that fails, chroot to your ubuntu and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop    that'll get you back to your default desktop.
[14:40] <cfhowlett> !grub
[14:41] <ijks> alright, i think i have an usb lying around, thx for the help. i assume the RestoreGrub page has instructions on reinstalling?
[14:41] <cfhowlett> ijks, indeed
[14:42] <ijks> alright, thx
[14:42] <cfhowlett> ijks, by the way, if those 2 methods fail, reinstall
[14:42] <alisa2410> Привет всем!

[14:55] <cfhowlett> wasanzy, ask your ubuntu questions
[14:56] <wasanzy> I have ubuntu on an external drive, actually, I just removed my drive which was running ubuntu and put it in a case, when I plug it to my laptop I see the drive alright but am not able to boot the ubuntu from the external drive
[14:56] <wasanzy> how do I do that?
[14:59] <michagogo> Hi, I'm upgrading a Precise VM (in Virtualbox) to Trusty
[15:00] <michagogo> I'm getting some warning that the graphics hardware doesn't fully support "the 'unity' desktop environment"
[15:00] <michagogo> and asking me if I want to upgrade
[15:00] <michagogo> It's saying that I may end up in a very slow environment, and that they recommend keeping "the LTS version"
[15:01] <michagogo> But doesn't 12.04 already use Unity?
[15:01] <cfhowlett> michagogo, lubuntu or xubuntu might be better solutions
[15:01] <mustmodify> How can I check whether my root account is accessible via password?
[15:02] <michagogo> mustmodify: perhaps look in /etc/shadow, see if there's a password hash for it?
[15:02] <cfhowlett> !root | mustmodify
[15:02] <mustmodify> Obviously I could reset the password and try it, but surely there's an easier way.
[15:02] <michagogo> cfhowlett: it's best not to have a password, but it's possible to set one. I think mustmodify wants to find out if that has been done.
[15:03] <mustmodify> cfhowlett: yes, I see people trying to hack my root account and I just wanted to ensure that root access via password was disabled.
[15:03] <philinux> mustmodify;~ using sudo will ask for your admin password.
[15:03] <mustmodify> oh, hunh.
[15:03] <michagogo> cfhowlett: I haven't had any problems with Ubuntu's graphics, in my experience
[15:03] <philinux> mustmodify;~ hack how?
[15:03] <somsip> mustmodify: via ssh? Check /etc/ssh/sshd_config for AllowRootLogin NO
[15:03] <michagogo> My question is, what's different between 12.04 and 14.04?
[15:03] <somsip> *PermitRootLogin - something like that
[15:03] <mustmodify> philinux: ssh
[15:04] <michagogo> It says the issue is unity not being supported, but I thought that's what 12.04 already uses.
[15:04] <somsip> mustmodify: and you really should disable password login too. Same file. man sshd_config
[15:04] <philinux> mustmodify;~ default ubuntu install has no root account. Are you aware of that
[15:04] <atrx> michagogo: several differences. i don't want to list thing
[15:05] <michagogo> atrx: I mean with this specific warning
[15:05] <michagogo> (not all differences from P to T)
[15:06] <philinux> mustmodify;~ just use a strong admin password
[15:06] <mustmodify> philinux: no, but something strange happened this morning with my web traffic, so I'm just doing a general audit of security.
[15:06] <atrx> michagogo: is your graphic card is dedicated or hybrid?
[15:07] <philinux> mustmodify;~ using sudo to say install apps elavates you to root privilege but only temporarlity
[15:07] <philinux> times out when terminal closes - think timeout is 10 mins
[15:07] <mustmodify> philinux: yeah, I get that.
[15:08] <panther__> hello

[15:08] <panther__> i have a linux mint question. i know you guys are ubuntu helpers, but i decided to come here because no one was at the #linuxmint-help channel
[15:09] <panther__> they suck
[15:09] <panther__> ok. here it is. i performed a live install of Mint 17.1 Cinnamon
[15:09] <somsip> !mint | panther__ (compliments will not get you help on mint here)
[15:10] <panther__> So the freenode channel is not the right one! haha
[15:10] <dai_wrk> panther: try #linuxmint
[15:10] <panther__> ok, sorry to waste your time :)
[15:11] <atrx> michagogo: it can be many things. jumping version gives problem sometime.
[15:11] <michagogo> atrx: I just have one specific question, though
[15:12] <michagogo> The warning says that the graphics capabilities "don't support Unity"
[15:12] <michagogo> but Unity is what's already running
[15:14] <atrx> if i were you,i might try reinstall ubuntu-desktop and unity
[15:14] <atrx> if you use bumblebee for your optimus graphic, you should uninstall it
[15:15] <atrx> 14.04 comes with Nvidia prime drive
[15:15] <atrx> r
[15:26] <ijks> cfhowlett: boot-repair says something about SFS partitions, should i continue?
[15:26] <cfhowlett> ijks, sfs?  never seen that before so can't advise
[15:26] <ijks> ok
[15:27] <wasanzy> any help?
[15:27] <SopaXorzTaker> did "apt-get purge wine*"
[15:27] <SopaXorzTaker> now was recovering everything
[15:27] <SopaXorzTaker> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[15:28] <SopaXorzTaker> and then checked the APT's logs and wrote a script to get back the removed packages

[15:53] <Kamuela> I've got a display issue that isn't driver related as it is the detection of my laptop's screen because I have no issues with external screens or the laptop's internal on windows, but some filickering toward the screen edge or randomly bad colors
[15:54] <BluesKaj> Kamuela, how do you know it's not driver related, it could very well be a driver problem
[15:56] <Kamuela> BluesKaj: because there is no change between default drivers, vesa, and the specific proprietary intel hd4600 drivers
[15:56] <Kamuela> and external displays work exactly as expected
[15:56] <BluesKaj> i965 driver?
[15:57] <Kamuela> BluesKaj: i'm using the one that works for hd4600 from the intel page
[15:58] <MrChrisDruif> Anyone using Ubuntu GNOME and having issues with fastboot oem unlock?
[15:58] <BluesKaj> Kamuela, it's the default driver ?
[15:59] <kiavolo> ciao
[16:00] <kiavolo> !list
[16:01] <Kamuela> BluesKaj: no, it's not the default driver. it's the intel driver. but the reason i got it was to try to fix this problem from a driver perspective but there's been no change since switching
[16:01] <Alucardx85> Hello! I have a grep question:  if you manage a system with about 30 employees, three of which usernames are= "crobert", "crobert4" and "crobertW", what grep option would work to find login attempts by only "crobert" and not the other 2 roberts.  I tried : sudo grep -e crobert /var/log/secure but didn't work, does anyone know the correct flag?  thanks! :) PS I know there I can use awk, but i'm not allowed
[16:02] <popey> Alucardx85: add a space? "grep crobert\ "
[16:03] <somsip> Alucardx85: add the char that comes next in the line after the username in /var/log/secure
[16:04] <somsip> Alucardx85: or use word boundrays. \bcrobert\b IIRC
[16:05] <Pici> Alucardx85: Or search for the user's uid.
[16:05] <Alucardx85> thanks guys I'll try that
[16:05] <laserbeak4445> I would like to install bleachbit from the sourceforge website but I do not found md5sum or sha256sum to verify the binaries. Unfortunately, the version available in the official Ubuntu repo is only version 1.0 instead of the current version (1.6 on sourceforge). Would you recommend to install it from sourceforge anyway or it will be more secure for me to use the old version available in the Ubuntu repo? \
[16:05] <somsip> Alucardx85: word boundaries might not work as the suffix is a number. Well, it's something to look into eh
[16:06] <lotuspsychje> !info bleachbit
[16:06] <nickander> laserbeak4445: you could always compile it yourself if you're concerned about security
[16:06] <Alucardx85> ;) , I was looking into the grep man pages also
[16:06] <Kamuela> BluesKaj: because there is no change between default drivers, vesa, and the specific proprietary intel hd4600 drivers
[16:07] <elfuego> is there a way to list all the versions for the nodejs apt package? I tried apt-cache policy nodejs but its not giving me all the nodejs versions
[16:07] <elfuego> only the latest
[16:08] <BluesKaj> Kamuela, did you do any upgrades such as dist-upgrade before installing the proprietary driver?
[16:09] <lotuspsychje> elfuego: if you know the exact packagename you could try apt-cache download nodejs(version)
[16:10] <Pici> elfuego: Then that is the only one available.  Ubuntu typically does not include more than one version for a package in its repositories.
[16:14] <ijks> cfhowlett: i've been running boot-repair for about 10 minutes now, it seems stuck at "Purge kernels then reinstall last kernel sdb1 (ins)."
[16:15] <cfhowlett> ijks, I've never had to use boot repair.  10 minutes and stuck seems excessive/broken ...
[16:18] <ijks> cfhowlett: i already tried reinstalling grub from the commandline but it didn't change anything, so perhaps my MBR got messed up or something...
[16:18] <ijks> i mean, grub got reinstalled successfully, but ubuntu still doesn't show up in the menu
[16:18] <cfhowlett> ijks, sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit

[16:19] <zekoZeko> hello everyone! Is there a GUI way to change passwords for users in a LDAP directory?
[16:19] <elfuego> Pici: Thanks
[16:20] <lotuspsychje> !ldap | zekoZeko
[16:20] <ijks> cfhowlett: this is also a paste generated by boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9693544/
[16:21] <cfhowlett> ijks, I see that SFS is still showing on line 866.  NO IDEA what that is.   ...
[16:22] <cfhowlett> ijks, I believe you're system is fixable, but I honestly don't know how ...
[16:22] <warfaren> from my Xorg.0.log:
[16:22] <zekoZeko> lotuspsychje: that's all nice, but that page says nothing about what I asked. I'm quite able to set up LDAP client authentication and password change via PAM. I was wondering if there is a GUI way for users to change their passwords.
[16:22] <warfaren> [  1032.373] (==) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (75, 75); computed from built-in default
[16:22] <warfaren> [  1032.423] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "DPI 305x305" is not used
[16:22] <ijks> it's some kind of partition format, but it's just on my data drive iirc so i don't think that could cause the problem
[16:22] <warfaren> how do i prevent that?
[16:23] <Mathis> hey
[16:23] <warfaren> i wanted it to be 305x305...
[16:23] <Kamuela> warfaren: when you find a fix to that, would you mind flagging me in IRC? i think i have a similar problem
[16:23] <Mathis> can you suggest me a tiny webbrowser running in userspace or something?
[16:23] <warfaren> Kamuela: okay, so your problem is also that you cant get the font dpi you want?
[16:23] <Mathis> it must be only capable of delivering images
[16:23] <isantop> Mathis: Midori is pretty small.
[16:24] <lotuspsychje> Mathis: links2 also pretty nice, from terminal
[16:24] <Mathis> cool, thanks
[16:25] <Mathis> webbrowser? no... webserver
[16:25] <isantop> Mathis: ah, I like nginz
[16:25] <isantop> *nginx
[16:25] <Mathis> this one isnt that small :-/
[16:26] <zekoZeko> Mathis: define small then.
[16:26] <nickander> +1 for nginx
[16:26] <Kamuela> warfaren: not exactly, but does this help you? http://onetransistor.blogspot.com/2014/09/change-dpi-in-ubuntu.html or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/font_configuration
[16:27] <zekoZeko> Mathis: and what you need from the webserver... they all run in userspace though, there was a kernel-based one (TUX i think), but I don't think that is available/relevant anymore.
[16:27] <lotuspsychje> !info nginx | Mathis tnx 2 isantop
[16:27] <Mathis> zekoZeko: as I said, it must be only able to deliver images
[16:27] <zekoZeko> Mathis: and what is small? small memory usage, small disk usage (doubtful if you need it to server images)
[16:28] <xdexter> Hello, my ubuntu is joined to a domain Samba4, however when using Firefox are required security credentials to go through squid3, you can make Firefox uses the user's credentials logged in? How do I do in Windows for example?
[16:29] <Mathis> zekoZeko: small as in features and memory and disk usage
[16:29] <ijks> cfhowlett: i just redid boot-repair but made it skip the kernel stuff, everything seems to have gone fine, let's hope it did...
[16:29] <zekoZeko> Mathis: as others said, just go with nginx, not much beats it at serving static content and it doesn't use much memory doing that.
[16:30] <Mathis> thanks
[16:30] <zekoZeko> Mathis: it's just one process, doesn't matter how many files you server at once.
[16:31] <Mathis> I think, I'll handle this fine
[16:31] <Delta706_> can someone recommend a channel with info on AddressSanitizer configuration?
[16:33] <Chealsea_Jurgens> Hi I am interested in installing virtualbox and am curious if the best way is to download via their site, synaptic, or software center?
[16:34] <kahoz> i'm having problems connecting to a wifi network - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9693010/ - i already tried to disable N and ipv6 but does not help. does anyone has an idea?
[16:34] <zekoZeko> Mathis: nginx-light package includes a basic set of modules and it's 745K installed size... I hope that's not too much :)
[16:35] <zekoZeko> Mathis: you might also want to use ppa:nginx/stable, which always has the latest version.
[16:35] <amateurbrainsurg> hi, I have a question about the software updater(14.04), i unclicked a package to update a while back, now it always shows to be updated, but the box to click is grayed out.

[16:41] <zekoZeko> AbuBadr: This works for me: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[16:41] <bubbasaures> AbuBadr, The wiki should get you set up.
[16:45] <warfaren> Kamuela: okay i fixed it, turns out the syntax was wrong in xorg.conf
[16:46] <warfaren> Kamuela: i'd written Option "DPI 305x305" but it was supposed to be Option "DPI" "305x305"
[16:47] <warfaren> [  4696.804] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "DPI" "305x305"
[16:47] <warfaren> [  4697.137] (**) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (305, 305); computed from "DPI" X config option
[16:47] <warfaren> as you can see, it's no longer throwing that message :)
[16:49] <somsip> !uefi
[16:55] <AbuBadr> zekoZeko, Thank you v v v v v much
[16:56] <Langdal> Hi I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and my video card is an NVIDA Geforce GT 520M (and a built-in one on the intel cpu). After installing propriatary drivers through the System->Additional Drivers window I can log in but after I log in my screen is blank save for the background. I can open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T but the resolution is bad. Does anyone know why this is?
[16:58] <BluesKaj> Langdal, is this an optimus graphics system? seems to be
[16:58] <Langdal> BluesKaj, yes.
[16:59] <BluesKaj> !optimus
[16:59] <Langdal> Ok so I should first uninstall the drivers to regain full functionality then.
[17:01] <Notimik> Hi any one that has problems with that 14.10 unity sometimes dont lock screen and shuts it down?
[17:02] <aktx> when i do ctrl+right or ctrl+left i get 5C and 5D on my terminal
[17:03] <aktx> im not using ubuntu, some generic linux distro, and this is within tmux
[17:03] <aktx> was hoping somebody can help here, google isnt working for me~
[17:04] <BluesKaj> Langdal, this tutorial works for lot of optimus equipped laptops, http://xmodulo.com/install-configure-nvidia-optimus-driver-ubuntu.html
[17:05] <cecja> aktx: what terminal do you use? which de or wm?
[17:05] <aktx> cecja, cygwin on win8.1
[17:05] <Langdal> BluesKaj, thanks. I will follow it once I successfully uninstall the propriatary drivers so that I can actually do stuff.
[17:05] <aktx> but if i ssh into ubuntu linux env, it's okay
[17:06] <aktx> but if i ssh into some generic linux distro, i get that problem
[17:06] <moisesm> hi all
[17:06] <reisio> hi
[17:07] <aktx> hello
[17:08] <imbezol> aktx: sounds like the generic linux distro doesn't know how to deal with your terminal type while ubuntu does
[17:08] <aktx> imbezol, okay, how would i change that? you know what setting i can change?
[17:08] <imbezol> aktx: if you type echo $TERM within your cygwin term what do you get?
[17:09] <aktx> cygwin term type is set to xterm-256color
[17:09] <imbezol> aktx: if you type export TERM=xterm
[17:09] <imbezol> aktx: then ssh in again, does it work better?
[17:10] <Chealsea_Jurgens> hi i installed virtualbox on ubuntu and the highest my screen resolution can go is 1024x768. What do i need to do to get it to it's proper 1920x1080?
[17:10] <aktx> imbezol, no, i still get those 5C and 5D chars
[17:11] <imbezol> aktx: on the generic linux box, do you see xterm in /usr/share/terminfo/x/ ?
[17:12] <dai_wrk> Chealsea_Jurgens: did you install the virtualbox guest additions?
[17:12] <aktx> imbezol, yeah, i see "xterm" and "xterm+256color", there's lots of stuff in there
[17:13] <Chealsea_Jurgens> don't think so, i just downloaded virtualbox from the software center. how can i tell?
[17:13] <reisio> Chealsea_Jurgens: if you haven't, you haven't
[17:13] <aktx> imbezol, http://i.imgur.com/PF5ppEW.png
[17:14] <dai_wrk> Chealsea_Jurgens: i think i am misunderstanding you, the guest additions get installed inside the guest OS not the host OS
[17:14] <reisio> ...but only if you personally install them
[17:14] <Chealsea_Jurgens> oh ok, would i download them from the internet then? not software manager on the guest os?
[17:15] <reisio> Chealsea_Jurgens: probably an item in vbox's menu
[17:15] <dai_wrk> when you run the guest OS got to the vbox "Devices" menu
[17:15] <imbezol> aktx: and when you're sshed in is your TERM set to xterm? or cygwin?
[17:15] <Chealsea_Jurgens> ok, makes sense. my mistake as i thought you were referencing the extension pack, not guest addition
[17:16] <dai_wrk> it's listed as "Insert Guest Additions DVD Image", clicking that mounts it as a disc in the guest
[17:16] <aktx> imbezol, it's set to xterm
[17:16] <dai_wrk> there are prerequisites to a successful install though, you will have to google "vbox guest additions <guest OS>" to get instructions
[17:17] <aktx> >echo $TERM
[17:17] <aktx> xterm
[17:17] <aktx> and this is before and after i ssh
[17:17] <aktx> two separate boxes (obviously)
[17:17] <Chealsea_Jurgens> thanks, i was able to download it but seems to have been an issue. i will restart and see
[17:17] <imbezol> aktx: i'm not sure then.. sorry
[17:18] <imbezol> aktx: you could try editting your .inputrc but i'll leave the how to you and google
[17:18] <aktx> imbezol, no problem thanks
[17:18] <aktx> okay cool, thx for the pointer
[17:19] <flexus> Chealsea_Jurgens, Vbox and guest additions have to be same version number
[17:20] <aktx> imbezol, nice! that works, i copied the ubuntu's /etc/inputrc into the generic linux distro's /etc/inputrc
[17:20] <Chealsea_Jurgens> flexus: they appear to be the same version
[17:20] <aktx> never knew about inputrc was that important~
[17:20] <imbezol> great
[17:20] <moisesm> anyone knows why the keyboard map can lose some combinations randomly?
[17:22] <Lachezar> Hey all. After migrating to Xubuntu 14.10 NetworkManager no longer connects to connections that are not '... all users...'. Is this Xubuntu only problem? Any way to fix that?
[17:22] <flexus> Chealsea_Jurgens, if you installed from ubuntu repo install virtualbox-guest-dkms
[17:22] <speram> !list
[17:22] <imbezol> Lachezar: i've found that problem too. i think you need to read it as "allow system to connect"
[17:23] <Lachezar> imbezol: I do not want the system to connect... Regression?
[17:23] <imbezol> Lachezar: it's wherever you need a password because if you don't select that it stores the password in kwallet which "system" can't access
[17:23] <Lachezar> imbezol: no kwallet. Xubuntu!
[17:24] <Lachezar> imbezol: and yes, I want it *that* way: passwords are not available until I log on.
[17:24] <imbezol> Lachezar: maybe there's an equivalent?
[17:24] <Lachezar> imbezol: equivalent to kwallet? Dunno.
[17:24] <imbezol> Lachezar: anyways.. the info i found indicated it won't connect automatically unless it's checked and that does seem to be the case
[17:25] <yogeshp> I am on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l. And want to start sshd on port 443.
[17:25] <imbezol> Lachezar: must be a bug report for it and if not there should be
[17:25] <hggdh> imbezol: probably seahorse
[17:26] <yogeshp> also added Port 443 in sshd_config
[17:26] <yogeshp> and then restarted the service but some how could not able to connect using ssh -p 443
[17:27]  * Lachezar bids everyone good night.
[17:28] <imbezol> yogeshp: or iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 22
[17:28] <imbezol> yogeshp: and leave sshd alone
[17:29] <yogeshp> imbezol: ooh; this one looks great
[17:29] <yogeshp> imbezol: will try out.
[17:34] <jharm> anyone seen thursty_lark
[17:38] <rkhshm> I've written a driver with a loadable module but even after i load the Driver I'm not able to see the parameters file in /sys at all
[17:38] <rkhshm> The same driver is working fine on another Linux box
[17:39] <rkhshm> Any ideas guys
[17:40] <yogeshp> imbezol: I did install the rule but some how ssh -p 443 didn't work
[17:40] <Mandeep_Singh> rkhshm, what is this driver for?
[17:41] <yogeshp> imbezol: behaviour is same as port 443 in sshd_config
[17:41] <auzerus> irc botnet alert (08/jan/2015): http://pastebin.com/SPMkyZ4w    check your systems. thank you
[17:41] <rkhshm> This is a custom driver to detect drives
[17:41] <IdleOne> auzerus: thanks for spamming the channel
[17:42] <auzerus> IdleOne, it's not spam,ok?
[17:42] <IdleOne> not ok
[17:42] <auzerus> you should thank me instead of this
[17:42] <IdleOne> I did thank you
[17:42] <auzerus> you called it 'spam'. call 'spam' your friend
[17:43] <diablomarcus> hey all, I'm having some trouble with my macbook pro's volume keys. Would anyone be able to assist?
[17:43] <the_tricky> guys, what's the best way to backup the whole system?
[17:44] <compdoc>  I like backintime
[17:44] <reisio> the_tricky: 1:1?, incremental?
[17:44] <nickander> zip /
[17:44] <yassy> facebook
[17:44] <compdoc> or bacula, if you dont mind spending weeks to learn it
[17:44] <nickander> monolithic image with clonezilla
[17:44] <yassy> facebook
[17:44] <compdoc> yeah, good idea to clone your drives every few months
[17:44] <yogeshp> does aws ubuntu have some extra security checks to avoid 443 sshd?
[17:45] <reisio> to avoid wha?
[17:46] <yogeshp> to avoid connecting to 443 for ssh
[17:47] <Jeruvy> 443 is for SSL not SSH.
[17:47] <yogeshp> I wanted to access ssh from office network. 22 is banned from my office and needs to connect it only through 443
[17:47] <yogeshp> Jeruvy: it can be used for ssh
[17:47] <Jeruvy> you can use any port for ssh but won't it conflict?
[17:47] <yogeshp> Jeruvy: actually nothing is running on 443
[17:48] <Jeruvy> then you are good
[17:48] <yogeshp> no https
[17:48] <yogeshp> actually there is something called as slh
[17:48] <Jeruvy> sorry are we having a discussion?
[17:48] <yogeshp> http://www.rutschle.net/tech/sslh.shtml
[17:48] <yogeshp> was searching for the link.
[17:49] <diablomarcus> Jeruvy, I use pagekite to do this
[17:49] <Jeruvy> I don't care :)  Just making sure your not confusing SSH with SSL, GLTY
[17:49] <rkhshm> Any idea why that may happen
[17:49] <yogeshp> Jeruvy: sure.
[17:50] <Mackseraner> hi, im trying to use rsync with ansible to deploy an app but im having trouble preventing rsync from deleting files that im excluding. i thought that rsync would only delete excluded files with --delete-excluded but it is also deleting them with --delete and --delete-after, even if they exist in the source directory
[17:50] <Mackseraner> can anybody help me with this=
[17:51] <Mackseraner> ?
[17:51] <imbezol> yogeshp: might need to do a sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
[17:51] <imbezol> yogeshp: for nat to work
[17:52] <imbezol> yogeshp: if that makes it work set it permanently in /etc/sysctl.conf
[17:52] <imbezol> Mackseraner: that likely means your exclude is not matching them correctly
[17:52] <yogeshp> imbezol: thanks a lot. will try that out.
[17:53] <Mackseraner> imbezol thanks! the weird thing is, it also deletes these directories if they exist in the source folder
[17:54] <Guest4905> If I already have a version of utorrentd installed and working, and I go to download a newer version and the only thing it provides is a binary file is it safe to assume I could just overwrite the existing binary without issues if I apply the same permissions?
[17:54] <reisio> Guest4905: no, but you could try it
[17:54] <reisio> Guest4905: FWIW, Deluge is quite a lot like µTorrent, only actually open source and not tracking you :)
[17:55] <SuperLag> Wow. Just did back-to-back upgrades - no issues to speak of. 13.10 -> 14.04 -> 14.10
[17:55] <reisio> gj
[17:55] <the_tricky> guys, by the way what's in backintime-notify?
[17:55] <imbezol> Guest4905: do a "dpkg -L utorrent" to see what's included in the installed version
[17:55] <Guest4905> reisio does deluge have a web interface?
[17:55] <Guest4905> my utorrent runs on a headless server
[17:55] <reisio> Guest4905: yes, actually it has what is widely regarded as the best, IIRC
[17:56] <reisio> a lot of people use it just for that
[17:56] <Guest4905> hrm can i get it with apt-get?
