[00:06] <vamsiampolu> can anyone help with this http://superuser.com/questions/933146/ubuntu-15-04-not-loading-from-external-hard-drive-for-amd
[00:31] <lucas-arg> guys i cant shutdow my laptop... im on ubuntu 15.04 i do shutdown -h now or poweroff and all it does is reboots.... cant turn in off
[00:32] <lucas-arg> any ideas?
[00:33] <burmph> lucas-arg, The cli your only choice here?
[00:33] <burmph> or a lifestyle?
[00:34] <lucas-arg> ?
[00:35] <khonkhortisan1> sudo apt-get install laptop-mode-tools ? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=noirq quiet splash" ?
[00:35] <burmph> lucas-arg, You have to be specific if you do not understand, cli=terminal lifestyle is self explanatory, some want the termional always.
[00:35] <nicomachus> lucas-arg: he's asking if you're able to shut down by clicking the shut down button.
[00:36] <burmph> nicomachus, Real using terminal commands?
[00:36] <burmph> Really*
[00:36] <lucas-arg> well... i dont know extra data i can give you, my laptop does not shut down, it reboots instead... i try from unity or terminal with sudo shutdown -h now or poweroff and it does not shudown it reboots
[00:36] <burmph> lucas-arg, What happens if you click top right on the shutdown gui?
[00:36] <khonkhortisan1> Is laptop-mode-tools installed?
[00:36] <lucas-arg> nicomachus: i can do that... but thats not the correct way i guess... it does shutdown if i press it long time
[00:37] <lucas-arg> burmph: it reboots... it doesnt shutdown
[00:37] <lucas-arg> instead of powering off... the laptop reboots and comes back to boot
[00:37] <nicomachus> lucas-arg: no the physical button, the button in the top-right of your screen. but you already said it doesn't, burmph just missed that.
[00:37] <nicomachus> s/no/not
[00:38] <lucas-arg> yeah... when i was in 14.04 i had to install laptop-mode-tools to power off my laptop correctly, but here in 15.04 that workarround doesnt work
[00:38] <burmph> nicomachus, Look when I came on.
[00:38] <lucas-arg> ive tried editing grub with acpi=force etc and it does not  do anything
[00:38] <burmph> nothing said about the gui since I've been here
[00:39] <nicomachus> he said "i try from unity or terminal" but let's move on.
[00:40] <burmph> nicomachus, Not clear enough, don't try to explain others, 'm not new here nor a newb.
[00:41] <nicomachus> lol, ok. you should work on your typing though. I'm out. Don't feel like dealing with pompous jerks today.
[00:42] <lucas-arg> would it do anything if i force poweroff? poweroff -f?
[00:44] <teaearlgraycold> Is there a way to blacklist a bad hop if it's giving you packet loss?
[00:45] <daftykins> teaearlgraycold: #networking q that i think :>
[00:45] <teaearlgraycold> Okay
[00:45] <daftykins> likely try another DNS provider to avoid that route
[00:45] <teaearlgraycold> Thanks
[01:11] <lucas-arg> no solution, cant turn my laptop off
[01:11] <lucas-arg> ubuntu took over my laptop
[01:12] <blahdeblah> Hi all - if wernerbu or anyone else who has been experiencing issues with the AWS EC2 mirror in EU West could join #ubuntu-mirrors, that would be appreciated.
[01:13] <burmph> blahdeblah, Mirrors have issues on occasion, you can change it.
[01:14] <blahdeblah> burmph: I work for Canonical, and I'm working on fixing the problem. :-)
[01:14] <teward> burmph: yeeeah, well, Canonical employees tend to care more than others ;)
[01:14] <burmph> blahdeblah, Ah, best of luck. ;)
[01:15] <daftykins> blahdeblah: isn't it amazons responsibility?
[01:15] <blahdeblah> No, we run the mirrors
[01:15] <daftykins> i see
[01:16] <daftykins> guess we can't fob people off to amazon anymore then
[01:19] <moobase> Going to encrypt my ubuntu system. Is a complete reinstall the easiest way?
[01:19] <moobase> I know how to force trim in arch, but how do I do that in ubuntu when dm-crypt is used?
[01:24] <burmph> moobase, I only encrypt a couple of folder, but lvm is popular, it uses dm-crypt I believe, might be more leverage there.
[01:27] <moobase> burmph: you'll have to send some argument to the kernel, that's all. But how do you give the kernel a persistent argument that stays in updates/upgrades in ubuntu?
[01:35] <Griz64> Hey Gang. How can I force reinstall CUPS and all it's dependencies?
[01:36] <daftykins> Griz64: purge and install 'cups'
[01:36] <daftykins> :>
[01:37] <Griz64> daftykins, that's the proscribed 'best method'?
[01:38] <OerHeks> stop cups first
[01:38] <daftykins> well you can look up an alternative online should you wish
[01:38] <daftykins> i'd probably stop X and do it from a TTY too, if desktop
[01:39] <Griz64> what's the best method for stopping X?
[01:39] <daftykins> sudo service lightdm stop
[01:39] <daftykins> (if unity)
[01:40] <Griz64> no. kde.
[01:40] <daftykins> err
[01:40] <daftykins> whatever graphical greeter that one uses then
[01:41] <poz> If I want to make everything read, write and exicutable in folder X in folder Y, what do I put in the terminal and should I be in directory Y or X?
[01:41] <daftykins> poz: what are these files? because that sounds unwise
[01:41] <Griz64> wow. that took the machine to it's knees. :-(
[01:42] <blueingress> Hi, I have dnscrypt-proxy installed in 12.10, but why I can't installed in current version 15?
[01:42] <daftykins> Griz64: er no, it just runs CLI only to perform the task.
[01:42] <daftykins> simples
[01:43] <poz> some installation files. it is fine, I have done it before and it is trust worthy. I just forget how to do it. the main script points to a number of other scripts which are not executable so it will not let me run the main script and I am not sure which one is causing the permission problems
[01:43] <daftykins> well presumably you're running the parent script as root
[01:43] <poz> yes
[01:43] <daftykins> but you'll be better off *being* root as opposed to using sudo
[01:43] <poz> I am root
[01:44] <daftykins> then you want to "chmod +x *" if you're in the folder with them
[01:44] <Griz64> daftykins, hahaha. seems the machine is running fine. but, the only inet connection was via wifi, which died, when X went down. how can i reconnect, at CLI?
[01:44] <Griz64> WPA2 personal, for the encryption
[01:44] <daftykins> wow, KDE sounds like it has a terrible network manager
[01:45] <daftykins> just start the service again and all will be well.
[01:45] <poz> the * recursively goes though each file in the above folder structure and sets executable permissions?
[01:45] <daftykins> poz: no, it hits all files in the current working directory
[01:45] <daftykins> so you'd need to be inside Y
[01:45] <psusi> daftykins, you can be in either folder... if you are in the lower folder, you want to chmod -R a+rwx ., and if you are in the higher folder, you want chmod -R subfolder a+rwx
[01:46] <daftykins> psusi: no because that'll do the parent too, and we're being careful here - not throwing caution to the wind
[01:46] <psusi> I might have gotten the path and permissions backwards there
[01:46] <psusi> check the man page ;)
[01:46] <psusi> ohh, you just want to change the permissions on the files, not the directory they are in?
[01:47] <Griz64> daftykins, kdm is running again, albeit w/o network. isn't there some tool (nmtui) for CLI connections?
[01:47] <daftykins> wow, read the damn query before you second guess next time
[01:47] <psusi> that is to say, both of those examples change the permissions on the *lower* directory to rwx as well for everyone, but not the higher directory
[01:47] <daftykins> Griz64: sorry, one thing i won't be doing today is assisting a CLI wireless connection :)
[01:47] <daftykins> reboot maybe. or if it's a laptop, plug in via wired temporarily
[01:48] <Griz64> daftykins, that difficult in ()buntu?
[01:48] <daftykins> i have never touched KDE to know
[01:48] <psusi> but normally directories need x anyhow, and you rarely want to not give r to d directory, so it only matters if you want to not give w to the directory, which is still rare
[01:48] <poz> lol lower and higher directory is subjective... is root directoer higher or lower?
[01:48] <daftykins> higher.
[01:48] <daftykins> going /down/down/deeper/and/deeper
[01:48] <psusi> root directory is highest by definition
[01:49] <poz> lol ok, then I wanted to give all of the lower directorys and files read, write and executable... I typed in chmod -R +x *
[01:49] <daftykins> nope
[01:49] <poz> yet I still do not get permissions... damn it, I ran into this problem before but I forget how to get around it.
[01:50] <daftykins> alright show us an "ls -al | pastebinit" inside the path
[01:55] <poz> daftykins, I sent it to you in another dialog window
[01:55] <daftykins> indeed
[01:55] <daftykins> oy thats a mess
[01:56] <daftykins> did this come out of a zip or tar?
[01:56] <poz> iso
[01:59] <daftykins> poz: so essentially i think you need to give the folders back execute permissions for group and world
[02:00] <poz> okay
[02:00] <poz> why?
[02:01] <daftykins> 'cause only the user can traverse the folders right now
[02:02] <poz> two more questions, what do you mean by traverse and why does that matter if I am root?
[02:03] <daftykins> enter - and it doesn't hurt to try so why not
[02:03] <poz> well lets try it then, how do I do it?
[02:04] <daftykins> oy.
[02:04] <daftykins> is this a CLI machine or?
[02:05] <poz> I prefer command line
[02:06] <daftykins> i see, so it's forcing others to have you learn :P
[02:06] <daftykins> is this really even the best way to install whatever this is?
[02:06] <poz> it is the only way
[02:07] <poz> I have a gui...
[02:07] <poz> but nothing seems to work well that way
[02:07] <daftykins> what's the program?
[02:07] <daftykins> i mean i'm seeing a windows file in it :>
[02:08] <poz> but I am running ubuntu 14.04
[02:08] <daftykins> !permissions
[02:08] <daftykins> there we go!
[02:09] <daftykins> so folders - rwxr-xr-x aka 755
[02:09] <daftykins> files rwxr--r-- aka 744
[02:20] <poz> I just don't get it though. I went one lever higher in the directory’s and then I went chmod 777 -R *
[02:20] <poz> but it does not yet give me the permissions
[02:21] <NoobsFlyVFR> Hi.
[02:28] <TragicM3LON> if someone can help, for some reason, whenever i try to apt-get anything it sits at 0%
[02:28] <TragicM3LON> but i have a connection
[02:28] <TragicM3LON> so i'm lost
[02:29] <burmph> TragicM3LON, If you have not modified the network access, change the repo.
[02:29] <TragicM3LON> i actually did modify the network
[02:29] <TragicM3LON> to use ipv6
[02:30] <daftykins> heh
[02:30] <daftykins> sounds like you killed it
[02:30] <TragicM3LON> it does
[02:30] <TragicM3LON> lol
[02:30] <TragicM3LON> sec
[02:31] <OerHeks> so you have no connection
[02:31] <TragicM3LON> gonna reboot it
[02:31] <TragicM3LON> no i do
[02:31] <TragicM3LON> i can grab from git and what not
[02:32] <TragicM3LON> lol it's working now
[02:32] <TragicM3LON> reason i added an ipv6 to the net config, was i'm on fiber, and it was using ipv6 and i thought i had to edit the net config to get my server back online outside my network
[02:32] <daftykins> perhaps the mirror didn't have a v6 presence
[02:33] <daftykins> mmm should all be auto
[02:33] <TragicM3LON> ya i didn't know that :(
[02:37] <moobase> is arch for your desktop computer a hassle compared to ubuntu?
[02:38] <daftykins> you might learn a bit but it's essentially for the Linux equivalent of those that modify cars.
[02:38] <nicomachus> good analogy...
[02:38] <daftykins> :D
[02:38] <daftykins> ty
[02:39] <moobase> worth it? :3
[02:40] <daftykins> this is an ubuntu support channel, you may discuss ricing your OS in #linux or perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:40] <daftykins> if you enjoy an OS that breaks all the time, go for it
[02:40] <gordon_> hello, I got problem with how-can-i-help script
[02:40] <gordon_> it shows me that file doesnt exists .cache/how-can-i-help/how-can-i-help.json.gz (Errno::ENOENT)
[02:42] <gordon_> ok, found this https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=787471
[02:43] <nicomachus> gordon_: did you try the solution there?
[02:43] <gordon_> yes, it's working
[02:43] <daftykins> so...
[02:43] <Sycrux> Could anyone here help me with my monitor setup I'm having issues with please?
[02:44] <daftykins> not until you ask with detail
[02:44] <gordon_> strange that this occurs
[02:44] <nicomachus> gordon_: it's a bug. bugs happen.
[02:45] <Guest48262> saludos...alguien de habla hispana?
[02:45] <daftykins> bit puzzled you came in to say debian's fixed it
[02:45] <daftykins> !es
[02:45] <jakefromstatefar> whatta ya got sycrux
[02:46] <Sycrux> I'm running 3 monitors. 1 connected to a GTX 660 (HDMI) the other 2 are connected DVI to a GTX 460.
[02:47] <Sycrux> Using Ubuntu 15.04
[02:47] <Sycrux> And my issue is, That on fresh install all 3 monitors work perfectly, But when I install a updated Nvidia driver I can only seem to get 2 work at 1 time.
[02:47] <Sycrux> The HDMI will work if the other 2 are disabled and the other 2 will work if the HDMI is disabled.
[02:48] <nicomachus> daftykins, my impression is he found the bug report right after asking the question here. so answered his own question.
[02:48] <jakefromstatefar> go inside the nvidia control panel to set up the monitors
[02:48] <daftykins> so triple head ok on nouveau, bad on proprietary?
[02:49] <daftykins> sounnds like you need to write some monitors configs for xorg
[02:49] <Sycrux> I've tried the CP with Nvidia countless times. But what is odd is that the HDMI monitor will turn on.
[02:49] <Sycrux> But just has a black X cursor.
[02:49] <Guest48262> ok thanks
[02:50] <Sycrux> Yet shows up as disabled under settings and xrandr
[02:50] <Sycrux> When I enable it, Same issue. Stays on and only shows cursor.
[02:51] <lzrspw> Sycrux: Try "sudo nvidia-xconfig --base-mosaic" -- and restart.
[02:51] <lzrspw> Sycrux: Try "sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-logo --base-mosaic" -- and restart.
[02:52] <Sycrux> Okay I'll try that thank you.
[02:54] <poz> daftykins, I was because I had it on a external hard drive. when I move it into my home dir, it works fine.
[02:54] <daftykins> poz: ah, NTFS was it?
[02:54] <daftykins> non POSIX file system = no permissions working
[02:55] <poz> yes
[02:56] <daftykins> oh dear
[02:56] <poz> why not? is there a way around it?
[02:56] <poz> it makes me so mad
[02:56] <daftykins> yeah, don't put data on NTFS volumes
[02:56] <daftykins> really? well get used to it
[02:56] <poz> but that is the only way I can see it with my windows boot
[02:57] <nicomachus> poz: there are some windows applications that will allow you to view your linux directories.
[02:57] <daftykins> so just remember to copy it next time
[02:57] <poz> lol
[02:57] <daftykins> i wouldn't recommend the above
[02:57] <burmph> +1
[02:58] <poz> Why do you say not to put data onto NTFS volumes?
[02:58] <Sycrux> Didn't work. Just disabled 2 monitors now.
[02:59] <BuzzardBuzz> put data on ext4 volumes if you prefer poz
[02:59] <lzrspw> Sycrux: Install arandr. You enabled base-mosaic. Let's see if you can turn them all on.
[03:01] <daftykins> poz: if you expect it to run / permissions to work
[03:01] <daftykins> static data like media is fine
[03:01] <poz> oh okay, I see i see. I understand now
[03:02] <poz> this wont be the last time I will end up banging my head for over an hour and a half trying to figure out why permissions wont work... some day I hope to learn! But I am sure microsoft will learn to use ext4 before that so I guess it does not matter
[03:03] <daftykins> don't count on it
[03:03] <daftykins> and it's not compatible :)
[03:03] <nicomachus> lol
[03:05] <poz> anyways, got to go. thank you for your help!
[03:05] <nicomachus> !pm | Sycrux
[03:08] <Sycrux> should I be blacklisting nouveau?
[03:08] <lzrspw> If you want to use nvidia, yes. Run "lsmod | grep \^n" to see what you're using right now.
[03:10] <Sycrux> nls_iso8859_1 and nvidia
[03:10] <SuperLag> I just inherited the job of administering about 17 Ubuntu machines. 7 are on 14.04, 9 are on 12.04, 1 is on 10.04.
[03:10] <SuperLag> How do I get the 10 and 12s up to 14, and not break everything?
[03:11] <Mouse_> wehre can I get  libtcl8.4.so
[03:11] <SuperLag> and is there a sane way to admin them all, that's easier than all this one-at-a-time stuff?
[03:12] <lzrspw> Sycrux: Check /etc/modprobe.d/ (somewhere). It might be already blacklisted (by nvidia). Can't turn on all monitors with arandr either/
[03:12] <daftykins> clean install supported releases.
[03:12] <lzrspw> Sycrux: ?, not /
[03:12] <SuperLag> daftykins: you'd clean install the others? :/
[03:12] <Bashing-om> SuperLag: My tjouhgt, it is risky to on-line upgrade from 10.04 ( unity), consider a fresh install (??) .
[03:12] <daftykins> the 10.04 for sure
[03:12] <daftykins> what are these things used for?
[03:14] <SuperLag> daftykins: I don't know about the 10 one, but the 12 and 14's are used for neural net training. This is an AI company, and they send their jobs to these machines with two very beefy Nvidia cards in each of them
[03:14] <SuperLag> Never done anything with CUDA, so this is going to be a learning experience
[03:14] <daftykins> doesn't sound like too big a deal
[03:15] <SuperLag> which part?
[03:15] <SuperLag> the keeping stuff current?
[03:15] <daftykins> get a spare disk and use clonezilla to image things up as-is before you try anything
[03:15] <rock> hi all
[03:15] <daftykins> but i think this is beyond the scope of volunteer support channels XD
[03:16] <SuperLag> Totally understood.
[03:17] <Sycrux> I don't see it being blacklisted under blacklist.conf
[03:17] <Sycrux> And no arandr won't work. Only showing 1 monitor the others are grayed out.
[03:18] <Sycrux> Ahh nvm I found it being blacklisted under a different file. My bad.
[03:19] <lzrspw> Sycrux: They're grayed out -- but that mean you can see them though... YOu try right-click and "Active" ?
[03:19] <lzrspw> (And to click "Apply")
[03:20] <Sycrux> No I mean it's only showing 1 monitor. But when I right click into open area, It shows HDMI etc my other monitors. Yet can't enable them.
[03:21] <jwash> i know this is a weird question, is there a program or a way to purposefully waste bandwidth?
[03:22] <azizLIGHT> jwash: i make fake files using dd and then curl them from a httpd to waste bandwidth
[03:22] <jwash> neat
[03:22] <azizLIGHT> just dd /dev/random to a file
[03:22] <azizLIGHT> and wget that file
[03:23] <BuzzardBuzz> iwash: upload torrents of install isos using all your available upload bandwidth
[03:23] <jwash> it has to be from the internet, download
[03:23] <jwash> hmm, i'm just gonna download a bunch of isos for different flavors of ubuntu
[03:23] <jwash> we'll see how AT&T handles it
[03:23] <azizLIGHT> i typically do this to test speeds, but you can make your file size as large as you want and waste as much bandwidth as you want depending on your settings
[03:24] <jakefromstatefar> jwash: whats the purpose?  out of curiosity
[03:24] <jwash> i've been an AT&T unlimited customer for years
[03:24] <azizLIGHT> maybe hes trying to hit the bandwidtch cap
[03:24] <azizLIGHT> and see if he gets throttled
[03:25] <jakefromstatefar> touche
[03:25] <jwash> yea
[03:25] <jwash> no more moderate usage for me
[03:25] <azizLIGHT> hehe
[03:25] <azizLIGHT> you can file fcc complaints about it jwash
[03:25] <jakefromstatefar> whats your goal?
[03:25] <jakefromstatefar> as in bandwidth use
[03:25] <jwash> to get my money's worth
[03:26] <jakefromstatefar> haha
[03:26] <jwash> 10gb+ on cellular
[03:26] <jakefromstatefar> oh thats easy
[03:26] <azizLIGHT> jwash: at&t will start paying attention to you when they see a fcc complaint
[03:26] <jakefromstatefar> just stream espn or something all dayy
[03:26] <jwash> they've already lost against the FTC for the practice
[03:26] <jwash> now i want to see if i'm on a busy cell site
[03:27] <jakefromstatefar> in hd for cellular, that will do about 7-8 gb per day
[03:27] <jwash> i don't pay for video service, on demand is too much effort lol
[03:27] <jwash> i can't stream linear
[03:28] <jwash> otherwise that would be the ticket
[03:28] <jakefromstatefar> you cant stream content like that on your cell network?
[03:29] <jwash> sure you can with TV Everywhere access
[03:29] <jwash> but i don't subscribe to pay TV
[03:29] <lzrspw> TwitchTV?
[03:29] <jwash> there's an idea
[03:29] <jakefromstatefar> youtube UHD?
[03:30] <nicomachus> netflix...?
[03:30] <jwash> too much work
[03:30] <jwash> on demand queuing
[03:30] <jakefromstatefar> prime?
[03:30] <nicomachus> or even popcorn time through a vpn...
[03:30] <jwash> i'm just gonna download nd redownload some isos
[03:30] <jakefromstatefar> have fun :)
[03:30] <nicomachus> don't punish the servers...
[03:31] <nicomachus> at least torrent and seed.
[03:31] <jwash> fine, i'll download some Arch isos
[03:31] <jakefromstatefar> if one guy can punish the servers, then ATT deserves the FTC complaint
[03:31] <Mouse_> can anyone tell me why this is giving me this error the .tcl is there but it is not seeing it
[03:31] <Mouse_>  couldn't read file "scripts/alltools.tcl": no such file or directory     while executing "source scripts/alltools.tcl"
[03:32] <BuzzardBuzz> execute flag set for that Mouse?
[03:32] <Mouse_> hmmm
[03:32] <Mouse_> how do I set that Buzzard?
[03:33] <Mouse_> I am used to debain lol
[03:33] <Mouse_> never set a eggy up on ubuntu
[03:33] <Mouse_> b4
[03:33] <BuzzardBuzz> is it a file that needs superuser or who owns the file you want to change the setting for?
[03:34] <BuzzardBuzz> the lazy way to do it is with a file manager
[03:34] <BuzzardBuzz> and set the properties of the file
[03:34] <Mouse_> name of the file is?
[03:35] <Mouse_> I can open it in Putty too
[03:35] <Mouse_> u mean the .conf file
[03:35] <coraxx> anyone know how to "stretch" a window in ubuntu ?
[03:35] <BuzzardBuzz> depends on what file manager you have, like nautilus, or pcmanfm or how do you browse your files?
[03:36] <Mouse_> I use putty or FileZilla
[03:36] <burmph> use nics foliks
[03:36] <burmph> folks*
[03:37] <BuzzardBuzz> well you can also do terminal command to set the bits for any file
[03:37] <Mouse_> I dunno how to do that
[03:37] <burmph> !who
[03:37] <burmph> just helps is all ;)
[03:37] <BuzzardBuzz> http://askubuntu.com/questions/484718/how-to-make-a-file-executable
[03:38] <Mouse_> oh I saw that in the setup
[03:38] <Mouse_> BuzzardBuzz: sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/eggbot
[03:38] <Mouse_> that one
[03:39] <BuzzardBuzz> yes chmod can do it for you also
[03:39] <burmph> BuzzardBuzz, Note the bots message on nics please
[03:39] <Mouse_> ok it asked for pass I put it in
[03:39] <Mouse_> and went back to prompt
[03:39] <BuzzardBuzz> but i prefer to be lazy and check the box
[03:40] <coraxx> burmph: the seem to really ignore you :-(
[03:40] <Mouse_> Buzzard: it keeps telling me the same thing
[03:40] <coraxx> burmph: *they
[03:41] <Mouse_> [23:40] Tcl error in file '/home/bots/simple.conf': [23:40] couldn't read file "scripts/alltools.tcl": no such file or directory     while executing "source scripts/alltools.tcl"     (file "/home/bots/simple.conf" line 146)
[03:41] <burmph> coraxx, Heh, they are in my ignore now.
[03:41] <coraxx> burmph: oh there we go ...a nick appeared ;-)
[03:41] <BuzzardBuzz> Mouse: ok so what does line 146 say?
[03:42] <Mouse_> source scripts/alltools.tcl
[03:42] <coraxx> burmph: Do you btw know how to stretch windows in Ubuntu ...it should be a simple thing but I can't seem to find a solution.  Just need one single window to be stretched ?
[03:42] <Mouse_> oops sorry keep forgetting to put nick at the front lol
[03:43] <BuzzardBuzz> Mouse: your path in line looks like an error inside it
[03:43] <burmph> coraxx, Not sure what you mean, probably can't help.
[03:43] <BuzzardBuzz> Mouse: in line 146
[03:43] <Mouse_> source scripts/alltools.tcl
[03:43] <Mouse_> is line 146
[03:44] <BuzzardBuzz> Mouse: there is your path error in that line
[03:44] <coraxx> burmph: in a window I'm running a terminal-program ...through the wine (windows emulator) ... the text is very small, so I want to use Ubuntu to "stretch" it ...which means when I resize the window, the contents inside is scaled up.
[03:44] <Mouse_> Bussard: or should it say /bots/scripts/
[03:44] <Mouse_> oops
[03:45] <Mouse_> Buzzard sorry
[03:45] <BuzzardBuzz> :)
[03:45] <burmph> coraxx, No going to edge works?
[03:45] <Mouse_> Buzzard: /scripts is where all the scripts are at
[03:45] <BuzzardBuzz> cool
[03:46] <BuzzardBuzz> Mouse: it need to be the coorect path to the file, is all
[03:46] <burmph> coraxx, Sounds like the resize leaves the text the same size?
[03:46] <BuzzardBuzz> *correct
[03:47] <coraxx> burmph: you mean resizing the window ...if so, resizing the window is no problem ... the content inside however remains the same ... so I get a big window with a small content-panel in the upper left corner, and the rest is grey
[03:47] <coraxx> burmph: *content-pane
[03:47] <coraxx> burmph: yes...everything is left the same...including the text.
[03:48] <burmph> coraxx, Ah, better description, not sure, I never use wine, so am not sure the context. There is a #wine channel as well, might be ##wine
[03:48] <coraxx> burmph: I need the magic of compiz or something like that.  its "Enhanced Zoom"-function is for the whole desktop and there not useful for this.
[03:49] <coraxx> burmph: oh, but wine is out ... that I have checked.
[03:49] <burmph> coraxx, my guess is a config somewhere.
[03:50] <coraxx> burmph: (in fact a lot of users have complained about wine, because when they install old games, that uses low-resolution, its difficult/impossible to re-scale ...either in window-mode or fullscreen)
[03:51] <burmph> coraxx, I would never use wine, I have a windows install and I started on open source.
[03:51] <coraxx> burmph: How many (approx.) are actually online (if front of their screens) in this forum right now...do you know ?
[03:51] <burmph> a vm would be better
[03:52] <burmph> coraxx, No idea, we have regular helpers however.

[03:59] <wagtag> I've been getting seemingly randomly spaced kernel panics after upgrading from 14.10 to 14.10 while my computer is idle. Screen freezes and I can't ssh in. Any tips on figuring out what the case is? Haven't found anything useful yet in the logs

[04:00] <burmph> wagle, You sure it's not 15.04?
[04:00] <wagtag> Sorry i meant 15.04
[04:00] <wagle> oic
[04:02] <burmph> wagle, Close got the first 3 letters right, sorry about that.
[04:03] <wagle> just checking to see if you needed to correct
[04:03] <DarthFrog> Does anyone know if the new kernel 3.19.0-22-generic has a work around for the async trim problem with Samsung 850 SSDs?
[04:04] <burmph> wagtag, I would run the guest account and see if it happens there, as a start, maybe do a memory check.
[04:08] <wagtag> burmph: Thanks. I'll try that. Hopefully it isn't a hardware issue
[04:09] <wagtag> It usually takes 15-19 hours to lock up
[04:15] <kmldc> hi everyone, I am kind of stressed out, I installed lightdm package and when it was installing it turned out to be messing with my kernel and stuff, and when I try uninstalling it using either purge or remove it says that due to dependencies I am not allowed to do that...
[04:15] <kmldc> Plsu I seem to be not getting latest kernel versions
[04:17] <BuzzardBuzz> you can get lightdm installed as part of the installer iso, kmldc
[04:18] <burmph> kmldc, What release is this and the kernel?
[04:18] <mostafa> hi every one
[04:19] <mostafa> hi any one
[04:20] <kmldc> burmph
[04:20] <kmldc> : unsame -a ???
[04:20] <kmldc> *uname
[04:20] <BuzzardBuzz> There are ubuntu varients with LXDE pre-installed, then they contain lightdm ready to run, kmldc
[04:20] <kmldc> Linux stationT 3.16.0-41-generic #57~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 18 18:01:50 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:20] <burmph> uname -a kmldc
[04:20] <kmldc> ^
[04:21] <mostafa> mostafa
[04:21] <burmph> kmldc, What release
[04:21] <kmldc> 14.04.2
[04:22] <burmph> kmldc, What makes you think this is not the latest kernel for the release?
[04:22] <burmph> your in the stack
[04:23] <kmldc> Cause I have ubuntu on almost any device at home, and last night many of them were updated to a new linux image thingie, but not my stationT machine
[04:23] <kmldc> what do you mean in the stack??
[04:24] <burmph> kmldc, All using the same server and upgraded the same, say with a dist-upgrade? two questions here
[04:24] <burmph> !stack
[04:24] <kmldc> burmph : yes used dist-upgrade a hundred times almost
[04:24] <kmldc> let me do it again
[04:25] <burmph> kmldc, All these computers calling the same repo exactly?
[04:25] <burmph> kmldc, stack https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[04:25] <kmldc> yes, either the main server or the server from the US
[04:25] <burmph> kmldc, Tons of us servers
[04:26] <burmph> US*
[04:26] <kmldc> the main server for the US I meant
[04:26] <kmldc> I am from Iran though
[04:26] <burmph> kmldc, REad the stack info as it explains the ltl release schedule and kernels included.
[04:28] <burmph> kmldc, I have a great book by a local author whom grew apples there for years, gives beautiful pictures of the great people and culture.
[04:29] <roombaroomba> Hello everyone!
[04:29] <kmldc> burmph : good to know... is it safe to run :
[04:29] <kmldc> sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty
[04:29] <kmldc> ?
[04:29] <kmldc> on my current 14.04.2 machine?
[04:30] <kmldc> roombaroomba : good day roomba
[04:30] <burmph> kmldc, I would not upgrade the stack, but use the info to understand if relevant to different kernel sets, has  to do if the same OS and when installed.
[04:31] <roombaroomba> I'm running OSX Yosemite, and having problems ejecting the external HDD. I can unmount the drive, but I've tried ejecting it via the terminal using Disk Utility, but it can't eject. It always says that the disk has been successfully ejected, but still shows up. Advice please?
[04:31] <burmph> roombaroomba, Apple? This is ubuntu support.
[04:33] <DarthFrog> roombaroomba:  Install Linux on it.
[04:33] <burmph> kmldc, This is the reason why you wont upgrade the stack, "The 14.04.2 and newer point release will ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default. If you have installed with older media you can use the following to install the newer kernel from 14.10 (Utopic): "  you installed 14.04
[04:33] <burmph> 14.0.2*
[04:34] <roombaroomba> Yeah, I know. I'm running a dual boot system with Ubuntu installed, and besides, I don't know any active IRC Apple channels.
[04:34] <burmph> roombaroomba, ubuntu support is all.
[04:35] <roombaroomba> Figured someone here would be knowledgeable enough to help me out, or at least point me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[04:35] <burmph> roombaroomba, you should check the bot there is a mac channel and others I believe quite busy.
[04:35] <kmldc> burmph: yes I have 14.04.2 installed on this machine, but running "uname -a" says 13.16 is my kernel version, is this normal?
[04:35] <kmldc> the damn lightdm thingie messed the system up
[04:36] <burmph> kmldc, What kernel are you expecting?
[04:36] <kmldc> is there no way to get it uninstalled and revert my system to my normal nice ubuntu??
[04:36] <roombaroomba> All right, thanks burmph!
[04:36] <kmldc> burmph : a kernel that would not start my desktop with a lot of errors to report?
[04:37] <burmph> kmldc, Ah, nice theory. ;) YOU must of had gdm just activate it. I have not seen any issue as you describe, but none of us kn ow everything.
[04:39] <burmph> kmldc, I have the feeling there is more to this than I can really ferret out nor fix, others may have ideas, sorry.
[04:39] <kmldc> proceeding to switch from lightdm to gdm, thank you nice burmph
[04:40] <burmph> kmldc, That nay get you back, hope so.
[04:40] <burmph> may*
[04:40] <kmldc> burmph : you mean it is possible that I might get lost in a dark world again??
[04:40] <kmldc> (please don't say no)
[04:40] <burmph> kmldc, Heh, oh never. ;)
[04:40] <kmldc> I mean please say no
[04:41] <burmph> if you do you will see me there
[04:41] <kmldc> burmph : good to know that you would be here, so am I hitting that install button for gdm my man?
[04:42] <kmldc> proceed?
[04:42] <burmph> kmldc, I was assuming it was installed. Never had an issue here with one or the other so not really sure, that is your call.
[04:43] <kmldc> ok...
[04:43] <kmldc> going for it either way
[04:43] <kmldc> could have fun messing with this part of linux anyways
[04:43] <burmph> ldm or gdm can be chosen from a terminal if installed than a reboot at some point.
[04:45] <Gerowen> Anybody know why, upon reinstalling Ubuntu 14.04, indicator-cpufreq no longer functions properly?  On this same laptop I could set it to Performance, On Demand, Or Power Savers, as well as pick from a long list of specific clock speeds, and it seemed to work.  After experimenting with Windows and doing a clean Ubuntu install, I now only get "On Demand" and "Performance" and switching between the two doesn't seem to actually do anything.

[05:40] <burmph> codebeast, Figured as such lots of mounted partitions. I'm not up on whats there is all.
[05:41] <OerHeks> good luck moving that 40 gb to ext4 sda9
[05:41] <codebeast> Its a dual boot . Win 8.1 and ubuntu 14.04
[05:42] <codebeast> OerHeks : How to do that ?
[05:43] <dmnlc> folks that http://itsfoss.com/switch-gdm-and-lightdm-in-ubuntu-14-04/ link worked perfectly
[05:43] <dmnlc> everything is awesomely running

[05:44] <dmnlc> Iran? you mean?
[05:45] <dmnlc> I would love to see YOU mate
[05:45] <burmph> dmnlc, Yeah.
[05:45] <codebeast> Ben64 : Can u help me out ?
[05:45] <OerHeks> codebeast, i don't seee how, as there are too many partitions in between. my advise: backup data, reinstall windows & ubuntu.
[05:45] <dmnlc> it is usually safe for foreigners m8
[05:46] <dmnlc> I am sure you would have a memorable time in Isfehan
[05:46] <codebeast> OerHeks Oh man ! I dont have an external HDD to back up ! This is gonna be shit !
[05:47] <burmph> dmnlc, One of the most modern places in that part of the world, many just get the stereotyped news of other areas that is negative, which is a shame.
[05:48] <dmnlc> burmph :  I know what you mean, I myself it wouldn't have been the way it is, I personally wish the whole world would have been better
[05:48] <dmnlc> but again, it is probably still the best times yet
[05:48] <dmnlc> could have been worse
[05:49] <codebeast> OerHeks : How to remove custom kernels ? I have installed 2 kernels which i myself built from source . But don't know how to remove it . Any way u could help ?
[05:49] <burmph> nice talking I am on the way to a short job check in, take it easy dmnlc ;)
[05:49] <dmnlc> you too m8, you are the best
[05:50] <dmnlc> good luck with your job thingie even though I don't know what that is
[05:55] <OerHeks> codebeast, howto remove stock kernels, i know, not self build ones, i hope you build uninstall too
[05:56] <codebeast> I know about stock kernels . Dont know how to remove custom kernels
[05:59] <moobase> hi. going to reinstall ubuntu to have full disk encryption. But I need to force trim of my SSD disk by sending the kernel a parameter. How's that done persistently in ubuntu? I want it to persist in updates/upgrades.
[06:00] <moobase> it seems way easier to use arch linux for this. But I like the automated of ubuntu that you can't have in arch.
[06:00] <OerHeks> !trim
[06:01] <moobase> for example, updates are done automatically and smoothly in ubuntu.
[06:01] <moobase> OerHeks: it does not when you use dm-crypt
[06:01] <moobase> you'll have to send an argument to the kernel
[06:02] <OerHeks> LVM & LUKS is no problem, afaik
[06:05] <moobase> it isn't. But trimming is. It's disabled by default for encrypted devices, even if you have the discard flag in fstab. A main developer of dm-crypt has stated in a mailing list that she'll never enable --allow-discard by default for security reasons.

[06:13] <sirellyn> is there any time when autocomplete doesn't work in a command line?
[06:13] <dtraveler> did the AutoMouseClick is executable?

[07:13] <kokut> Hello, for some reason if i connect the ethernet cable before my notebook has finished booting up, it disables my ethernet controller, is there any way to fix this?
[07:14] <agent_white> Evenin' folks
[07:14] <Mava> what on earth. just got new machine with 4k television: did edit the 10-monitor.conf to apply 3840x2160 with 30hz to DP-0 and with xrandr it shows the resolution only for DVI-I-0 port o.0
[07:15] <Mava> so what is the "right way" to get nvidia k600 to do 3840 resolution through DP-0 port ?
[07:15] <burmph> kokut, So the only way the ether net works is when plugged in to a booted computer?
[07:16] <kokut> burmph: in this notebook yes, this doesnt happen in other computers
[07:17] <burmph> kokut, So if you rebooted it when working it comes up not? Cold boot plugged in first does not work?
[07:17] <kokut> if i plug the ethernet cable before it has finished booting the NIC is disabled, and i can only connect via WIFI
[07:18] <kokut> i can reboot a thousand times, if the ethernet cable is connected i wont have a wired connection
[07:18] <burmph> kokut, This phrase is really vague, "i plug the ethernet cable before it has finished booting"
[07:18] <kokut> booting to the ubuntu desktop
[07:18] <kokut> finished loading ubuntu or w/e u want to call it
[07:19] <kokut> doesnt happen in windows (dual boot)
[07:19] <kokut> freaking annoying man
[07:19] <kokut> every day i come to work i have to remember to not plug the freakign cable or i have to reboot
[07:19] <burmph> kokut, Not sure myself,  needed to clarify is all.
[07:20] <Mava> seems the issue is displayport with 30hz...damn these new features that are done poorly
[07:23] <Mava> buahaha, neat - DP-0 max resolution 1920x1080 and DVI-I.= max 3840x2160. only but here is the fact that the 4k monitor is connected to the DP-0...
[07:42] <waa> How can I tell mplayer to use another device? [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1293:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open '/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p' failed (-2): No such file or directory - my device is called /dev/snd/pcmC1D0c

[08:18] <godofgrunts> Mava: version of what?*
[08:18] <Mava> godofgrunts: version of the Displayport in macine
[08:19] <Mava> perhaps a quick google will help me a bit
[08:19] <godofgrunts> ? like what your graphics card is?
[08:19] <Mava> k600 quadro nvidia =D
[08:20] <Mava> godofgrunts: the catch is that i'm trying to setup 4k resolution to the tv connected to the displayport
[08:20] <Mava> now it is more like a penguing vs. mava
[08:21] <Mava> but this is weird, it shows that the card has displayport 1.2 connector that supports max 3840x2160@60Hz
[08:22] <starkiller> hello
[08:22] <agent_white> Mava: What are you using to attempt this? -- What are you using to see that that resolution is available? xrandr?
[08:22] <godofgrunts> Mava: that's technically 4k so what's the issue?
[08:22] <agent_white> Mava: (I use xrandr for my dual-screen setups, as well as when I plug my laptop into a external 'big' TV and adjust the resolution that way.
[08:23] <agent_white> After connecting the HDMI cord from the machine to the TV, `xrandr --query` should give you the available resolutions and you can go from there... if that's what you're aiming to do.
[08:26] <agent_white> See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution for more info.
[08:26] <godofgrunts> exit
[08:36] <j4ysee> exit
[08:45] <Mava> agent_white: xrandr directly also checked it using  nvidia-settings
[08:46] <Mava> the issues is that i cannot set the resolution to 4k since there is no such resolution even available
[08:46] <EriC^^> Mava: maybe you need to install another graphics driver
[08:46] <EriC^^> Mava: type sudo ubuntu-drivers devices and paste in paste.ubuntu.com
[08:47] <Mava> EriC^^: than nvidia-346 ?
[08:47] <drmagoo> Mava: it is displayport v1.2 and I was wrong. v1.2 supports 4k @ 30hz, so It should work.
[08:48] <EriC^^> Mava: who knows
[08:49] <Mava> drmagoo: that was good news =)
[08:49] <Mava> though believe me or not
[08:50] <Mava> the inbuilt intel hd4400 (etc) was able to bring up the 4k resolution with my setup, so lets see the nvidia case
[08:50] <Mava> EriC^^: in a minute..

[11:35] <xpheres> https://uappexplorer.com/app/analyticaltranslatordemo.xpheresdev
[11:36] <adsc> it would be best only to release apps that have been tested before
[11:36] <vvassilev> Hi all, I have a slapd and auth by lib_nss and etc in the pam. When I do a getent I see the names I need. When I do a ls -la of a folder it shows the ldap groups and users as numbers. Any ideas what it could be?
[11:36] <xpheres> adsc there is a problem, the emulator does not work, my app works in the pc but it did not work in the phone
[11:37] <vvassilev> Also it says that the name is not in the sudoers if I try to do sudo.
[11:37] <xpheres> till the emulator is fixed, developers are blind if they can not afford an ubuntu phone
[11:37] <k1l_> xpheres: i think you get more specific feedback in #ubuntu-touch
[11:37] <xpheres> ok thanks
[11:37] <adsc> xpheres: well, emulator alone isn't authoritative either, you have to test it on end devices
[11:38] <xpheres> I can not afford an ubuntu phone right now adsc

[11:39] <ash_m> can someone clear this up for me? So there are various distros (kubuntu, xubuntu, server, torch). Do all these distros follow the same naming convention and support? (ie: Kubuntu Trusty, Xubuntu Trusty etc...) ?
[11:41] <lotuspsychje> !flavors | ash_m
[11:42] <lotuspsychje> ash_m: each releaseversion has a codename
[11:42] <ash_m> lotuspsychje: the _only_ difference between these "flavors" is the desktop environment/./
[11:42] <ash_m> ?*
[11:43] <lotuspsychje> ash_m: is there something specific you searching?
[11:43] <ash_m> I mean, that certainly sounds accurate pertaining to Xubuntu and Kubuntu, but is that true for Server and Torch?
[11:43] <zetheroo> what the command to see how much memory each process is taking?
[11:44] <ash_m> zetheroo: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/show-all-running-processes-in-linux/
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> ash_m: whats your endgoal witht his exactly?
[11:45] <ash_m> 1) understand linux a little better and 2) decide if I should even care which distro I get
[11:46] <ash_m> if the only difference between ubuntu and ubuntu server is just that server doesn't have unity then I don't see why I would bother getting it
[11:46] <ash_m> lotuspsychje: ^
[11:46] <lotuspsychje> ash_m: each flavor, is the users choice, depending what you will do with that machine
[11:47] <lotuspsychje> ash_m: so i suggest its best to start from the beginning, what do you want with your machine?
[11:47] <ash_m> it's gonna be a server
[11:47] <lotuspsychje> ash_m: what kind of server
[11:47] <ash_m> a LAMP/dev server
[11:47] <lotuspsychje> ash_m: then ubuntu-server will be fine for you
[11:48] <ash_m> lotuspsychje: why not just ubuntu?
[11:48] <lotuspsychje> ash_m: desktop isnt designed for server usage
[11:48] <adsc> ash_m: it's not just a different set of packages, it's also different configuration
[11:48] <zetheroo> memory on a webserver is being gobbled up by something and I need to find out by what ..
[11:49] <wfpkhc> hello
[11:49] <ash_m> adsc: I see
[11:49] <adsc> a server usually doesn't need things like instant messaging, pulseaudio server, video streaming, etc.
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> zetheroo: wich webserver?
[11:49] <wfpkhc> im trying to get ubuntu to work but cant :(
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> !details | wfpkhc
[11:49] <zetheroo> lotuspsychje: LAMP
[11:50] <adsc> ash_m: if you want a server, take the server distro, if you want a dev machine, take a desktop distro
[11:50] <ash_m> adsc: right, but if the only difference is that one will allow me to navigate via a gui if I am on the machine, then that's not much insentive to go for it, but if there are various configurations that make it worth while, that's a different story
[11:50] <lotuspsychje> zetheroo: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might help you out on this?
[11:50] <adsc> ash_m: indeed
[11:50] <adsc> ash_m: a server usually doesn't need power save modes, etc.
[11:50] <wfpkhc> ubuntu 15.04 with linuxpen drive - when i boot into the flash disk - it asks me for a password - thats fine - i put in ubuntu as the username and blank password but the computer sits at a sound loop error and wont progress any more
[11:51] <ash_m> adsc: so lets see if I understand this correctly...
[11:51] <adsc> there are many more differences between desktop and server edition than just a missing desktop environment
[11:51] <lotuspsychje> wfpkhc: did you have same issue on 14.04?
[11:52] <wfpkhc> i cant get 14.04 to work because it does not support my video card
[11:52] <lotuspsychje> wfpkhc: wich card
[11:52] <wfpkhc> GTX 750 Ti Geforce
[11:52] <ash_m> adsc: technically, I could download which ever flavor I wanted and through extensive configuration and headache, turn that flavor (essentially) into ubuntu-server; the fact that there is nothing different other than initial configuration would mean it's relatively easy for ubuntu to release and support all flavors at the same time. Is that right?
[11:52] <lotuspsychje> wfpkhc: trusty should be able to run that card fine
[11:53] <wfpkhc> i came on here and they said wait for 15 to come out as 14 doesnt support the new card architecture for nvidia
[11:53] <EriC^^> wfpkhc: live usb shouldn't ask you for a password
[11:53] <adsc> ash_m: yeah, you could turn ubuntu desktop into ubuntu server with a lot of work, and vice versa
[11:53] <ash_m> [05:51] <adsc> there are many more differences between desktop and server edition than just a missing desktop environment <-- pokes a hole in my last comment
[11:53] <lotuspsychje> wfpkhc: thats wrong sugestion
[11:53] <wfpkhc> with linuxpendrive should i put any special configuration?
[11:54] <wfpkhc> the card is very new apparently
[11:54] <adsc> ash_m: no, you are right, it could be done, but it's not really a worthwhile endeavour
[11:54] <ash_m> adsc: I see
[11:54] <ash_m> adsc: so that being the case
[11:55] <ash_m> adsc: is it absurd to think that people who have a good handle on ubuntu would also be apt (other than navigating the desktop) at ever other flavor?
[11:55] <adsc> ash_m: yeah, that's right
[11:56] <ash_m> adsc: or are there commands for one flavor that simply won't work on another flavor
[11:56] <adsc> ash_m: I mean, it's not absurd
[11:56] <wfpkhc> with "pendrivelinux" should i put anything for "set a persistance file size for storing changes?
[11:56] <ash_m> adsc: the reason I ask is because I know there are channels for specific flavors
[11:56] <ash_m> (or at least ubuntu-server)
[11:56] <lotuspsychje> wfpkhc: did you create the usb from windows?
[11:56] <wfpkhc> yes
[11:57] <lotuspsychje> !usb | wfpkhc try this: universal usb installer
[11:57] <adsc> ash_m: well, on a server, you usually use software that you don't use on desktop machines, and the server channel is mostly for questions about configurations etc. of said software
[11:57] <wfpkhc> i use "pendrivelinux.com"
[11:57] <ash_m> adsc: but network configuration would be the same?
[11:58] <adsc> ash_m: yeah, it's more or less identical, although on a server you usually use a static configuration and on desktop machines you usually use dhcp
[11:58] <adsc> but you can do either on both
[11:59] <ash_m> adsc: okay, well, I think that about does it for me :) thanks for shedding light on it
[11:59] <lotuspsychje> wfpkhc: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[11:59] <ash_m> sheadding*?
[11:59] <adsc> of course, the server can be the DHCP and DNS server itself, so that there is something you usually won't have on a desktop machine...but can, if you want to

[12:01] <wfpkhc> i might come back

The installer needs LIBEVENT_ROOT and when I set it to the directory that contains libevent*.a, it instead tries to access /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.libs/libevent.a. I then did a hack with ln to fix this, but there is another error at the end. http://pastebin.com/eGM513Ei  This is on Kubuntu 14.04. Any help would
[12:05] <lotuspsychje> wfpkhc: why dont you make your life easy, and make usb with universal usb installer?
[12:06] <wfpkhc> thats what it says on the universal usb installer lotuspsychje
[12:07] <warfaren> updated my ubuntu 14.04 from kernel 3.13.0-35 to 3.13.0-57 via dist-upgrade but after rebooting it shows splash screen for a bit, no hdd activity and eventually i get dropped to a shell that says it can't find the root partition. wtf?
[12:08] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | warfaren
[12:08] <lotuspsychje> warfaren: or boot up a previous kernel again
[12:08] <warfaren> that's what i'm doing
[12:09] <jerto> Did you update your grub settings ?
[12:09] <warfaren> i googled it and was suggested to try replacing the uuid in fstab with /dev/sda5 but it didn't help. it's not wrong though because old kernel works with it
[12:09] <wfpkhc> im just going to try it out ill be back
[12:10] <warfaren> also ran following commands (as suggested by some forum post):
[12:10] <warfaren>  1099  sudo update-initramfs -u
[12:10] <warfaren>  1100  sudo update-grub
[12:12] <warfaren> i think it might not be seeing any harddrive at all because in that recovery shell, i try ls'ing /dev/sd* with no results and also the path it's printing (the one with the uuid) contains no other uuids either
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> warfaren: try a liveusb, to test your hd still working perhaps?
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> warfaren: if its not dead, try the recoverymode/fix broken packages perhaps
[12:13] <warfaren> is that necessary when booting the previous kernel works fine?
[12:14] <lotuspsychje> warfaren: no
[12:14] <warfaren> well it does. that's what i'm using to talk to you right now.
[12:15] <lotuspsychje> warfaren: investigate your logs and file a bug then
[12:16] <warfaren> i was thinking i'm gonna start by reinstalling all the 3.13.0-57 packages (headers and image)
[12:19] <jerto> warfaren, you're in recovery mode, right ?
[12:19] <Nangi> Is there a way to mount a server as a disk? My problem is, I connect to a server (an smb:// to be exact) and I need the absolute path to a file on it. I could go through /run/user/1000/gvfs/"smb-server"/"file" and that fixed my problem. But for future use I want it mounted as drive. Also I want it to not disapear when I reboot computer.
[12:20] <warfaren> jerto: no, i'm running normally on the previous kernel that i never removed
[12:20] <jerto> OK
[12:23] <jerto> Nangi, if you want to mount a samba share at boot, yes, it's possible
[12:24] <Nangi> Perfect. Any pointer on what to look for. I guess googeling "share samba mount on boot" maybe? :)
[12:24] <jerto> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[12:25] <k1l_> put it into fstab
[12:25] <jeeves_moss> Nangi, /etc/fstab
[12:25] <k1l_> but i dont know what systemd does now when the mount is not available. on disks its just stopping the boot, i dont know how it handles the external mounts
[12:26] <jerto> Don't forget to install cifs-utils if it's not already installed
[12:26] <anonymouse_> anonymouse
[12:27] <jeeves_moss> k1l_,  boot into recovery, take out the lines you added to FSTAB, then so back and make an upstart script to run at boot
[12:28] <warfaren> hm ok.. supposedly i've solved the problem simply by reinstalling the 3.13.0-57 package
[12:28] <Nangi> jerto: I will read the link you sent before doing anything. I never fiddled with fstab before.

[13:28] <pragmaticenigma> drmagoo, you here?
[13:30] <drmagoo> pragmaticenigma: yes I am
[13:31] <pragmaticenigma> I figured out my issue from yesterday (I was under the alias keyboardbroken) Where I was trying to restart the window manager without rebooting or logging out
[13:31] <drmagoo> pragmaticenigma: Good, how did you solve it ?
[13:32] <pragmaticenigma> Turns out VNC was the culprit. I remote in from my work machine running Windows. When I lock my desktop at work using the Super/Win + L causes the issue. The Super/Win key gets sent over VNC, but not the L or anything thing to say I've let go of the key. So the Super/Win key is "stuck"
[13:33] <drmagoo> pragmaticenigma: odd, but glad to hear that you figured it out
[13:34] <pragmaticenigma> yeah, so at least in the future I know to kill the VNC server and restart that and not lose everything I have going on
[13:34] <phrearch> hi
[13:34] <phrearch> is qt5-default the whole qt5 package for ubuntu?
[13:36] <rrr_> how to check memory usage?
[13:36] <drmagoo> rrr_: type 'free' in a terminal
[13:37] <teward> rrr_: `free -m` is a better indicator of memory usage, if by memory you mean RAM
[13:37] <pragmaticenigma> phrearch, the description says it provides development binaries for application dev work. If you have qt4-defaut installed it will conflict
[13:38] <pragmaticenigma> phrearch, what are you trying to do?
[13:38] <rrr_> drmagoo: which app use how much memory?
[13:38] <phrearch> pragmaticenigma: i need to run qt5 and pyqt5 together in an ubuntu 14.04 docker container
[13:39] <pragmaticenigma> I suspect the docker support group might be able to better assist you
[13:39] <drmagoo> rrr_: 'ps -efaux' should give you a lot of information
[13:39] <phrearch> pragmaticenigma: isn't there a qt5 package ion the ubuntu repos?
[13:40] <pragmaticenigma> there is... but all of the descriptors that accompany it warn that if qt4 is installed on the same machine there will be conflicts
[13:40] <k1l_> rrr_: see "htop" and sort after memory usage
[13:41] <k1l_> rrr_: or "system monitor" if you like a gui
[13:44] <phrearch> hm, and for ubuntu 15? surely qt5 is a default package there?
[13:44] <pragmaticenigma> phrearch, I really think you should reach out to the docker community for help. They can help you better than we can
[13:44] <pragmaticenigma> phrearch, doubtful... qt5 is under active development... qt4 is considered stable
[13:45] <phrearch> pragmaticenigma: just looking for qt5 in the ubuntu repo's
[13:45] <pragmaticenigma> phrearch, run the command "apt-cache show qt5-default" it will tell you if it is available
[13:46] <phrearch> pragmaticenigma: yep its there. i suppose it contains all of qt
[13:48] <pragmaticenigma> phrearch, did you read through the descriptions? It tells you what is installed, what is recommended to be installed
[13:50] <BluesKaj> srslyidontsuck,  sometimes a buefi/bios setting can muck up the default graphics card, make sure the bios sees your new pci card as default , some called peripherals
[13:50] <BluesKaj> correction: uefi/bios
[14:00] <srslyidontsuck> BluesKaj: I have a Ubuntu 14.04 ssd already go where I've successfully got nvidia-352 running so it's possible and nothing wrong. The problem is that when booting from the usb it doesnt come with the right drivers so I need to use nomodeset.
[14:02] <BluesKaj> srslyidontsuck,  maybe 15.04 plsama5 can't handle that new card, since the default driver is nouveau which works fine and is written for lower end gpus
[14:04] <BluesKaj> ok you're on ubuntu so ,no plasma 5 , srslyidontsuck , forgot where I was for minute
[14:08] <pragmaticenigma> srslyidontsuck, It takes a few months before drivers are available for the latest and greatest cards on the market... The Live boot images only have what was available at the time of the original release, and are rarely re-built after that

[14:10] <bosi> Hey guys, for some reason after I installed Audacity, the internal mic of my netbook isn't working anymore, as well as the headphones. It does work fine on the dual boot Windows so it is not the laptop. I checked the Alsa Mixer and for some reason the Internal Mic appears as "disabled" and I can't change it. On Pulse Audio I don't have the options to change the volume either, and in order to make this internal mic work I must use it as mono. Any ideas on what
[14:10] <bosi>  should I do? Thanks!
[14:10] <pragmaticenigma> Usually there is a 5 or 10 second delay where if you hit space bar when the initial boot screen comes up so you can change the options

[14:13] <srslyidontsuck> Where I can either "Try Ubuntu without Installing" or Install Ubuntu" and you know OEM installa and disc checks.
[14:14] <BluesKaj> srslyidontsuck,  the work around might be to pull the card, install ubuintu 15.04, then plug the gpu back in and install the 346 driver at the VT, if you can get to the OS to boot
[14:15] <srslyidontsuck> BluesKaj: Yes, thats a very good idea. I was thinking earlier to .. remove the drive and install it in another computer but removing the card will be much easier.
[14:16] <srslyidontsuck> BluesKaj +1 (you are brilliant)
[14:16] <pragmaticenigma> srslyidontsuck, or you can highlight "Try Ubuntu" and press the "e" key
[14:16] <BluesKaj> srslyidontsuck,  not really , I had to do it once, just seemed like the thing to do.
[14:16] <srslyidontsuck> pragmaticenigma: yes.
[14:17] <pragmaticenigma> srslyidontsuck, that will allow you to "edit" the commands before booting
[14:17] <srslyidontsuck> pragmaticenigma: lets me edit the textfile but what do i write where?
[14:18] <pragmaticenigma> srslyidontsuck, I don't recall which line to edit... I don't know what it looks like :-(
[14:18] <srslyidontsuck> want me to cite them? :3

[14:35] <arunpyasi> Guys, does 64 bit Ubuntu go good in 1 GB RAM ?
[14:35] <pragmaticenigma> mohammad-ghasemi, you can, but depending on how you built your USB, they may not persist after you shutdown
[14:36] <mohammad-ghasemi> pragmaticenigma thank you
[14:39] <pragmaticenigma> srslyidontsuck, glad you figured it out, because Piratepad is currently down and I can't see what you posted there
[14:40] <srslyidontsuck> pragmaticenigma: worked as of writing, but seems to have gone bonkers for some reason. thanks for the handholding.
[14:40] <srslyidontsuck> pragmaticenigma: so im on the desktop running the livecd. i should be able to intall the driver i need then install right?
[14:40] <srslyidontsuck> does it keep the driver or will i be blackscreened again when i boot up the new os?
[14:42] <BluesKaj> srslyidontsuck,  you'll have to wait and see, nomoidest will give an low res login iirc, then you can install the driver
[14:42] <BluesKaj> an=a
[14:44] <BluesKaj> srslyidontsuck,  don't be surprised if the recommended driver is the nvidia-346

[14:46] <BluesKaj> srslyidontsuck,  latest isn't always the greatest, probly less stable
[14:47] <TJ-> sla: probably the best solution is to create a chroot and install the version you want in that,  "debootstrap" is the tool to do that installation
[14:48] <sla> TJ-: alright then - thanks :)
[14:56] <rainbowwarrior> hi sorry to be a pain, but can someone please tell me if Ubuntu 15.10 will work fine on a HP 455 please ?
[14:57] <k1l_> rainbowwarrior: ubuntu 15.10 will be released in october. we dont know what kernel and packages it will include yet. so we cant answer that.
[14:57] <TJ-> rainbowwarrior: that's more a question for #ubuntu+1 ... but 15.10 is in development so expect breakage
[14:57] <rainbowwarrior> TJ Ok Thank you, ok will 14.04 or 15.04 work better for it then please ?
[14:58] <TJ-> rainbowwarrior: You'll need to test it yourself with a Live ISO or find another user with the same model and Ubuntu release; maybe search the Ubuntu forums for hardware reports
[14:59] <rainbowwarrior> TJ will do thank you
[15:00] <KaiForce> I have a 14.04.2 server that sometimes takes a really long time to login via SSH.  When I'm stuck waiting for the login, if I login with a different account I see apt-check is running.  Disk I/O is also really high on the host when this is occurring.  Anyone know how I can correct this?
[15:03] <me> hi
[15:04] <Guest22852> hi
[15:05] <TJ-> KaiForce: "apt-check" is part of "update-notifier-common"  and what happens is it is trying to dynamically generate the MOTD text for you when you log-in. You might want to disable that or other "update-motd" scripts. see "dpkg -S /etc/update-motd.d./" for the packages putting scripts there
[15:06] <gp5st> What are things like option www-server, irc-server, &c for in the DHCP config. What uses them?
[15:06] <KaiForce> TJ:  thanks...  from what I've been reading that seems to be the culprit.  I'm going to go ahead and chmod -x all those scripts
[15:08] <lexdvnc> Hi everyone. Quick question. Has anyone here attempted installing kernel 4.0 on 14.04 LTS?
[15:09] <teward> !crosspost | lexdvnc
[15:09] <lexdvnc> ubottu: okay
[15:19] <srslyidontsuck> okey, what the heck.
[15:20] <srslyidontsuck> I just installed the OS and created my user. How come I can't sudo?
[15:20] <garrettkajmowicz> Hi! I'm logged into my desktop via a guest account(long story) and the system has decided I wanted to lock the session. How do I unlock the session?
[15:20] <cfhowlett> srslyidontsuck, one user or more than one user?
[15:20] <k1l_> srslyidontsuck: what kind of system is that? what install iso did you use?
[15:21] <srslyidontsuck> cfhowlett: just the one user
[15:21] <srslyidontsuck> k1l_: 15.04 ubuntu
[15:21] <BrianH> Hey guys.  I have ubuntu running on a multitouch toshiba laptop.  Any cool multitouch demo's I can run?
[15:21] <k1l_> srslyidontsuck: its the users pw to use sudo.
[15:21] <srslyidontsuck> thnx u gais
[15:21] <k1l_> the same you use to login as the user
[15:22] <srslyidontsuck> but dosnt seem to work.
[15:22] <k1l_> srslyidontsuck: did you create that user on the install wizard?
[15:22] <srslyidontsuck> on the try ubuntu first.
[15:22] <cfhowlett> srslyidontsuck, "try ubuntu" means you didn't install it yet.
[15:23] <srslyidontsuck> no no no
[15:23] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: when the installer is asking you questions, it asks for a name and suggested the user account naming for that, is that the user account you are now trying to use to gain sudo?
[15:23] <srslyidontsuck> cfhowlett: get me right. I went through Grub > Try Ubuntu > Installng it > Rebooting into the new > Logging in with my useraccount.
[15:23] <k1l_> srslyidontsuck: no, the install wizard asks you to give a user and pw. so did you use that to login and use sudo?
[15:23] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: yes.
[15:24] <srslyidontsuck> k1l_: yes. the username and password given at creation
[15:24] <k1l_> srslyidontsuck: what output gives you "groups" in a terminal?
[15:24] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: k1l_ Interesting... this used to happen quite frequently but randomly a few years ago with Ubiquity (the GUI front-end to debian-installer), but I thought the bug was squashed now
[15:25] <DarthFrog> Does anyone know if the new kernel 3.19.0-22-generic has a work around for the async trim problem with Samsung 850 SSDs?
[15:25] <srslyidontsuck> k1l_: TJ- : ive got 8x groups. my user and sudo is among them
[15:25] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: Does the username or the password contain any 'special' characters, such as non-ASCII for other languages, with accents etc?
[15:26] <srslyidontsuck> nop its a three letter lower-case combo of latin characters
[15:26] <srslyidontsuck> the username not the password ofc
[15:26] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: what does "id -u" report as the UID for the user?
[15:26] <srslyidontsuck> but i managed to login at the spashscreen
[15:26] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: id -u prompts 1000
[15:27] <garrettkajmowicz> What's the password for the guest account?
[15:27] <k1l_> garrettkajmowicz: no password
[15:27] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: And when you do, for example, "sudo echo hello" what do you see?
[15:27] <srslyidontsuck> [sodo] password for user:
[15:28] <k1l_> give the users pw there
[15:28] <garrettkajmowicz> k1l_: An empty password won't let me unlock the session.
[15:28] <k1l_> make sure shift is not enabled or such things
[15:29] <srslyidontsuck> nothing of the sort is activated.
[15:29] <k1l_> garrettkajmowicz: on the login lightdm screen?
[15:29] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: OK, so the user is in sudo ... so the password is the issue. I'm wondering if the keyboard translation has changed between installer and installed system, e.g. US <> GB ... causes issues with the £ # and other characters moving. Try typing your password into the command-line so you can see the characters that are generated and confirm that is the password you set
[15:29] <k1l_> garrettkajmowicz: is that a regular standard install? because there the guest account is passwordless
[15:30] <garrettkajmowicz> k1l_: No. At the session lock screen. I'm trying to unlock my session.
[15:30] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: thats a good bet. i created the password in swedish layout, on the loginscreen it was swedish and now it is swedish. I also wrote it in cleartext. same same.
[15:31] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: for kicks ang giggles i logged out. i cant logg in using the password.
[15:31] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: And you were able to log-in to the installed system via the greeter with this password? (e.g. you didn't use autologin that doesn't require you to type your password)
[15:31] <garrettkajmowicz> It is the register guest account. I didn't need a password to log in, but now I'm unable to unlock my session.
[15:32] <k1l_> garrettkajmowicz: try to click: switch user and then select guest account
[15:32] <k1l_> garrettkajmowicz: this might be a bug
[15:33] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: maybe its for the best ot just reinstall and make sure its feed in correctly?
[15:33] <srslyidontsuck> becuase now im also locked out
[15:34] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: OK, so I think we have the cause. You'll need to reboot hold Shift to get the GRUB menu, choose Advanced > Recovery option, which boots with root permissions, then choose the "root shell", do "mount -o remount,rw /" and then "passwd <username>" and re-set the password to something safer, then "exit" and then choose "resume" to get back into the multiuser GUI
[15:34] <garrettkajmowicz> k1l_: I selected guest-1OxKjf and clicked activate. Nothing happens. If I selected start new session, will that destroy my old session?
[15:34] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: better print/wite those commands down :)
[15:35] <k1l_> garrettkajmowicz: might be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1022858
[15:35] <garrettkajmowicz> Also, multi-monitor support at this point is broken in entertaining ways.
[15:35] <garrettkajmowicz> Nice. Now. How do I get my session nac
[15:36] <TJ-> garrettkajmowicz: which GPU is causing the multi-monitor issues?
[15:37] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: passwd: password update successfully. +1 for you sir
[15:37] <TJ-> garrettkajmowicz: from a terminal you can do "dm-tool switch-to-user <username>"
[15:37] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: phew! glad to hear it :)
[15:38] <garrettkajmowicz> Okay. have session back due to workaround in bug report. Why hasn't this been fixed aready? it's 3 years old!
[15:38] <TJ-> garrettkajmowicz: devs prefer new toys :)
[15:39] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: its a new password for this new computer. so takes a while to get the fingers to type it correctly. second attempt at sudo echo hello returned hello in the termianl.
[15:39] <srslyidontsuck> thanks for sharing your wisdom TJ-
[15:40] <garrettkajmowicz> TJ-: This is why people think OSS isn't enterprise-reafy. The bugs we know about aren't fixed.
[15:42] <garrettkajmowicz> TJ-: Nvidia GK107GL. It would have unlock prompt on both monitors. if I typed text in one password box, it would be added to the other. when I pressed enter it would only clear the text from the active password box, so multiple attempts would leave many, many characters in the other window.
[15:42] <k1l_> garrettkajmowicz: seems like its been only 17 users in these 3 years. mark yourself as affected to get it pushed and fixed.
[15:50] <jnoob22> Have been using 14.04 for some time. My wireless mouse has worked mostly for the last year and a half but now it seems to lose connectivity intermittently. I've tried the following: move the usb piece to my 2 other usb inputs on the left side of my laptop. I've tried to reinstalling the xorg input drivers. I've checked the display settings to make sure no other displays are being used. Any ideas?
[15:51] <jnoob22> i notice this does not happen when i boot into Windows 8.1 (ugh)
[15:52] <Squarepy> jnoob22, logitech?
[15:52] <jnoob22> yes
[15:52] <jnoob22> M310 Squarepy
[15:53] <jnoob22> changed battery
[15:53] <Squarepy> jnoob22, please have a look at 'solaar' a unified logitech receiver application
[15:53] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: i was running some installs and suddenly it started bothering me about this "login keyring" which i havnt configured or ever will configure. my password dosnt work for it either way. what do?
[15:54] <TJ-> jnoob22: have you changed the Wifi device in the laptop, or altered the Bluetooth co-exist setting accidentally for the driver?
[15:54] <jnoob22> TJ-, no and no
[15:54] <jnoob22> Squarepy, thanks ill have a look
[15:55] <TJ-> jnoob22: I've found that intermittent issues - with Bluetooth devices - are often caused by collisions with strong local WiFi signals in the 802.11g band. Many wifi devices have a BT-coexist setting.
[15:55] <garrettkajmowicz> k1l_: I don't have/want an account. It was filed and verified.
[15:55] <jnoob22> TJ-, this mouse is usb connected receiver .... are we talking about the same thing?
[15:56] <jnoob22> sorry not very knowledgeable about bluetooth
[15:56] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: Ahh... you need yo change the keyring's passphrase to match the user account password, because the system 'passwd' tool cannot do that. I think there's a wiki guide on it
[15:57] <aruntu> running an aruntu 2.0; does somebody know how to check if firewall is installed/enabled ?
[15:57] <cfhowlett> !firewall | aruntu firewall is disabled by default in new install of Ubuntu
[15:57] <TJ-> jnoob22: There's a radio link between the USB dongle and the mouse. It could be using Bluetooth, or some other protocol. It may use an entirely different frequency, but radio interference can be an issue - although if Windows is fine I'd be seriously investigating the Wifi co-exist driver setting, if any.
[15:57] <jnoob22> TJ-, i am using netgear wndr3400 ... any idea what kind of setting in the router i am looking for?
[15:58] <cfhowlett> aruntu, BUT note that aruntu is NOT ubuntu and is NOT supported here.  go to their site for support
[15:58] <TJ-> jnoob22: the setting is in the local PC wifi driver, if it exists at all. Some hardware doesn't have a Bluetooth-coexist mode and therefore nor does the driver

[15:59] <cfhowlett> aruntu, can't help with non-ubuntu OS.  sorry.  go to the aruntu sites for support
[16:00] <aruntu> no prob, i tried as i know essential part of aruntu is ubuntu based
[16:00] <aruntu> c ya
[16:00] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: this seems to tell you how to do the password sync **BUT** suggests setting an empty password! Ignore that, follow the Keyring change password steps and set the new keyring password the same as the password you recently set using "passwd"
[16:01] <jeroen___> hello
[16:02] <jeroen___> Question: is keyserver.ubuntu.com a mirror of the general gpg server or another network?
[16:05] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: using what guide, come again?
[16:07] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: sorry!... I forgot the most important bit... let me grab it from my history
[16:07] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: http://askubuntu.com/questions/867/how-can-i-stop-being-prompted-to-unlock-the-default-keyring-on-boot
[16:10] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: but it doesnt accept the current password? because it didnt port over?
[16:13] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: I know, you have to try typing the old password and hope the translation worked for that :)
[16:14] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: If the installer used the default en_US you could temporarily add that as a keyboard language, and select it whilst typing the old password, then back to your regular language before typing the new password.
[16:16] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: but i changed the installer to swedish too. :-3
[16:16] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: we changed the old password becuase it didnt work at all remember.
[16:16] <srslyidontsuck> its goners.
[16:16] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: That doesn't mean it obeyed you everywhere :)
[16:16] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: Ahh, you're misunderstanding, let me explain further.
[16:17] <srslyidontsuck> oh please do sir
[16:18] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: When the installer creates the user account it sets the standard system password (with passwd), it also creates a user keyring for user's secrets and uses the password given to encrypt the keyring. Later, if the user changes their password *outside* of the GUI tools (as you needed to do) the password on the keyring remains the one set by the installer. When user logs into a session using their new password the keyring tries to unlock itself using t
[16:18] <TJ-> he new password... which doesn't match the one that is still in use, so it asks for the unlock password - which is the one set by the installer :)
[16:19] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: So, the password you need in order to unlock is the original installer-set password... which means you may hit the same keyboard-language translation issues.
[16:21] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: My suggestion is that if we assume the installer had the wrong language translation set when creating the password, then the only logical other language it might use would be the installer's default language which is usually en_US, so adding that as a temporary keyboard language now *may* allow you to correctly type the *old* password to unlock the keyring. Then change keyboard languages back to the regular one, and enter the *new* password
[16:22] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: *nods*
[16:22] <datnig> does anyone know why xinput_calibrator will not respond to my touches? the touchscreen appears to be working just not calibrated
[16:22] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: It's a good theory, but yes, I switch'd over as you said to EN_US the standard layout for testing purposes. Feed in the password as above stated. but nu. nothing.
[16:23] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: Grrr!  ... is this a fresh install with no user data yet? if so it may be simpler to recreate the keyring
[16:23] <srslyidontsuck> lets
[16:24] <srslyidontsuck> its fresh as of .. what is it.. 60 minutes maybe
[16:24] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: I'd best do some more research :)
[16:24] <srslyidontsuck> please direct me.

[16:24] <nerium> Is there a way to dowload only the first bytes of a document over http?
[16:25] <nerium> I’m looking for a tool for doing this
[16:25] <ioria> TJ- it's not possible delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings to reset it ?
[16:25] <chotaz`w> nerium, isnt curl's -r options what you're looking for?
[16:26] <chotaz`w> or do you mean getting only the response header?
[16:26] <nerium> chotaz`w: That doesn’t work in my case. Servern doesn’t support it
[16:26] <pragmaticenigma> nerium, chek out wget
[16:26] <nerium> pragmaticenigma: I’ve, but I can’t find anything
[16:26] <cfhowlett> nerium, wget -c       downloads from interrupted.
[16:27] <nerium> cfhowlett: That c as in continue, not really what I want
[16:27] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: so ill just rm it right?
[16:27] <TJ-> ioria: I assume srslyidontsucks' system isn't using gnome2 !
[16:27] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: noo need to save anythin?
[16:27] <EriC^^> nerium: if they have rsync you could use rsync
[16:27] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: if you look further down to the answer rated 15
[16:28] <srslyidontsuck> "Note: before Ubuntu 12.10 the path to the keyrings folder was ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ instead of ~/.local/share/keyrings/"
[16:28] <pragmaticenigma> nerium, you would have to use CURL to achieve what you're trying to do... but it's possible the server doesn't support partial downloads which is why that is failing
[16:28] <nerium> EriC^^: It’s a web server
[16:28] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: "If the password is not known: right mouse click and delete for resetting."
[16:28] <EriC^^> nerium: they could still be running rsync
[16:28] <nerium> pragmaticenigma: That’s correct, it doesn’t support partial downloads
[16:28] <ioria> yep, i meant that
[16:28] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: "I understand that all items will be permanently deleted"
[16:28] <pragmaticenigma> nerium, so your only option is download the whole page and then parse it
[16:28] <srslyidontsuck> what items? *scared*
[16:28] <nerium> EriC^^: no
[16:29] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: you've not put anything in the keyring yet, it's a new install
[16:29] <srslyidontsuck> haha okey
[16:29] <nerium> pragmaticenigma: It’s a stream, there’s no end
[16:29] <pragmaticenigma> nerium, that would have helpped to know in the beginning
[16:29] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: yey. it stopped asking about the keyring nonsense at the thing i was at orignally.
[16:30] <nerium> pragmaticenigma: Okay, did know that was relevant
[16:31] <srslyidontsuck> now it asked me to create a new keyring, TJ-
[16:31] <srslyidontsuck> +1
[16:31] <pragmaticenigma> nerium, streams work differently than standard file serving (or typical web page loads) they usually have some under lying protocol like RTSP to stream audio and/or video...
[16:31] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: Yes, that's what you're doing... with the new user password as the unlock key
[16:32] <nerium> pragmaticenigma: Not in this case. It’s plain http
[16:32] <TJ-> RTSP is a control protocol; stream will be using something else, maybe RTP or HTTP
[16:33] <pragmaticenigma> nerium, HTTP doesn't support streaming... you might be going to a web page to view... but the video/audio is being streamed to a plugin using a different protocol
[16:33] <TJ-> pragmaticenigma: incorrect. HTTP uses chunked encoding to deliver streams
[16:34] <nerium> pragmaticenigma: It’s HTTP/1.1 according to curl
[16:34] <rawm> is anyone experienced in connecting Ubuntu laptop to enterprise wifi? Can anyone lend me some knowledge
[16:35] <pragmaticenigma> nerium, that's the response from the URL you gave it... the web page may have an embedded viewer on it

[16:37] <datnig> your mom's a pirate
[16:37] <datnig> a butt pirate
[16:37] <nerium> pragmaticenigma: I need to download the first 100 bytes of the stream as it contains some meta data I need, i’m not interested in the music it self

[16:39] <datnig> i use it to save yahoo live concerts
[16:39] <pragmaticenigma> nerium, from the URL it's using a flash player... you will need a different tool to capture the stream

[16:59] <Borealix> so i tried installing ubuntu on my old dinosaur but after i log in the screen stays the same for about a minute then the display gets weird
[16:59]  * Bl4ckD34th Online for girls only....have a great day! ! !
[16:59] <trism> colonolGron: yes, if they used LDADD instead of LDFLAGS
[17:00] <colonolGron> trism, i am doing git clone https://github.com/jubalh/nudoku;cd nudoku;utoreconf -i;/configure;make;/src/nudoku
[17:00] <Borealix> any help?
[17:00] <trism> colonolGron: they may be using a system which doesn't have as strict a linker as in ubuntu
[17:00] <colonolGron> trism, oh interesting
[17:01] <colonolGron> so you mean if i change their makefile.am to say AM_LDADD instead of AM_LDFALGS it should work?
[17:01] <trism> colonolGron: yes
[17:02] <colonolGron> trism, warning: variable 'AM_LDADD' is defined but no program or
[17:05] <trism> colonolGron: try just LDADD instead of AM_LDADD
[17:05] <trism> colonolGron: you could also try: nudoku_LDADD
[17:06] <trism> colonolGron: or nudoku_LIBADD
[17:07] <colonolGron> trism, is there a difference?
[17:07] <trism> colonolGron: in this case, not really since there is only one binary
[17:08] <colonolGron> ok :)
[17:08] <colonolGron> let me try
[17:08] <pi-boy> hello\
[17:09] <pi-boy> hello kvirc@ras75-1-81-57-62-148
[17:09] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: Ubuntu is the operating system that keeps on giving. I'm trying to mount one of my harddrives and get the error "No object for d-Bus interface". I find no reasonable explanation out of googeling. :-s
[17:09] <srslyidontsuck> ps. using nautilus
[17:09] <trism> colonolGron: ah I guess LIBADD is for libraries and ldadd is for binaries so I guess ldadd is the right one
[17:12] <BBLLCC> every time I log out to switch my machine off xubuntu 15.04 "stops" in a blank screen, not whutting the machine. It can be like that for the whole night
[17:12] <BBLLCC> shut down I mean
[17:13] <colonolGron> trism, it worked, thanks a lot!
[17:14] <Guerra> quit
[17:14] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: possibly? http://askubuntu.com/questions/627621/no-object-for-d-bus-interface-when-mounting-with-nautilus
[17:15] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-:  by user i suppose they mean my username. and i dont have that file?
[17:15] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: considering changing file manager?
[17:15] <srslyidontsuck> i was using "file" apparently not nautilus as i thought
[17:16] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: Yes, 'user' is your username, or you can simply replace the literal "/home/user/" with the environment variable $HOME which is always set to the current user's home directory
[17:17] <srslyidontsuck> mm true i was already there for starters.
[17:18] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: so when i try to mount them with "Files" i get that error. would yo urecommend another filemanager maybe?
[17:18] <srslyidontsuck> 2 of 3 drives return the error
[17:19] <srslyidontsuck> for starters only one did
[17:19] <TJ-> srslyidontsuck: I don't use Unity/Gnome so I'm not the best person to help you on that
[17:19] <srslyidontsuck> haha oki
[17:19] <srslyidontsuck> ill just use nautilus then sir
[17:19] <srslyidontsuck> inb4 files == nautilus
[17:21] <srslyidontsuck> im gona try reboot a 3rd time
[17:22] <BBLLCC> every time I shut down my machine off xubuntu 15.04 "stops" in a blank screen, not whutting the machine. It can be like that for the whole night/join #xubuntu
[17:24] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: They say god works in mysterious ways, I say, Linux works in mysterious ways.
[17:24] <srslyidontsuck> TJ-: I rebooted the 3rd time in a row now they are avalible for mounting.
[17:24] <BBLLCC> TJ-, can you help me with this problem too?
[17:25] <harry_> exot
[17:25] <harry_> exit
[17:25] <harry_> quit
[17:25] <Borealix> when you try to install a distro on a cheap old vista desktop and the screen just goes haywire every time
[17:26] <TJ-> BBLLCC: that sounds like a system/ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) issue, possibly specific to the make/model/firmware version of the PC
[17:28] <BBLLCC> TJ-, err... do I always have to plug off the cable to turn my machine offf? thats not good for the software, is it?
[17:28] <Bashing-om> Borealix: What I would do is look at the graphics situation; ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ; sudo lshw -C display ' . What the hardware is and if a driver is loaded .
[17:29] <TJ-> BBLLCC: what happens usually is the operating system shuts down and sends the power-off command to the ACPI interface which should HALT the CPUs and then power-down, but that 2nd step fails on some systems due to incompatibilities/bugs in the fimware ACPI on the motherboard
[17:30] <BBLLCC> TJ-, so it is ok to unplug it?
[17:30] <TJ-> BBLLCC: it should be... I'd research your make/model + keywords "ACPI linux" to see if there are any Linux kernel options you can use to solve it
[17:31] <BBLLCC> TJ-, simply google or command line?
[17:31] <TJ-> BBLLCC: search engines :)
[17:32] <BBLLCC> o, this must be grub related, right?
[17:33] <BBLLCC> my machine shut down correctly with grub1, but since getting rid of it, fixing the kernel problem, grub2 does not recognize
[17:33] <TJ-> BBLLCC: not at all; although if you find a kernel option you'd add it in /etc/default/grub so that the bootloader can give it to the kernel at boottime
[17:33] <BBLLCC> https://askubuntu.com/questions/196132/ubuntu-not-shutting-down-going-to-black-screen-12-04 what do you think of that TJ- ?
[17:34] <BBLLCC> is that old? im running 15.04
[17:34] <TJ-> BBLLCC: I see no mention there of a specific make/model of PC (or motherboard) which is the key to your issue
[17:35] <BBLLCC> what command do I need to get the model of my laptop?
[17:38] <TJ-> BBLLCC: "grep DMI /var/log/dmesg"
[17:42]  * newwwww new to irc
[17:42] <BBLLCC> M7X0SUN acpi linux didnt return anything, so i have to resign myself to unplug the cable
[17:42] <BBLLCC> unless TJ- suggest otherwise :D
[17:44] <TJ-> BBLLCC: "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" please
[17:45] <TJ-> BBLLCC: M7X0SUN is a specific sub-model. Use "M7X0" as the search key, as in "clevo M7X0 acpi linux" ... I see reports that these PCs are indeed not fully compatible with Linux
[17:45] <rimdeker2> Can someone help me fix these dpkg erros? http://dpaste.com/2DKAS3Y
[17:45] <BBLLCC> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11842764/
[17:49] <adamretter1> I am on a vivid system, but vmbuilder does not seem to support `—suite vivid` any ideas?
[17:49] <TJ-> BBLLCC: line 252 seems to confirm what I've already said
[17:50] <BBLLCC> TJ-, can firmware be edited?
[17:51] <TJ-> BBLLCC: no
[17:52] <andyfied> what kind of firmware? you can edit the firmware on a HDD but you will brick it doing that
[17:52] <TJ-> BBLLCC: it looks like the firmware claims to support ASPM (Active State Power Management) but then fails to provide a function to initialise it, see line 268-69
[17:52] <troulouliou_dev> hi is there a ppa for gnupg 2.1.X ?
[17:55] <TJ-> BBLLCC: it might be that giving the kernel acpi_os_name="..." with one of the Windows names might help, you'd need to know which name that firmware answers to, though
[17:56] <BBLLCC> TJ-, you are talking about editing a line kernel acpi_os_name=windowsxp <?
[17:57] <TJ-> BBLLCC: yes, but we need to know  the correct name from your system's ACPI DSDT
[17:58] <BBLLCC> how do i do that?
[18:02] <bishops> hi, i have a wireless connection problem. everytime. sometimes when i wake up my laptop from sleep or I change from one connection to the other it doesn't connect. after restarting a few times the system it ends up connecting. Can someone help?
[18:03] <TJ-> BBLLCC: "sudo apt-get install acpica-tools" then "sudo iasl -d -p /tmp/ /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT" then "pastebinit /tmp/.dsl"
[18:03] <burmph> bishops, Name the wifi hardware info and what you have done to get it work, originally, IE drivers a wrapper....etc, for the channel.
[18:04] <burmph> we just need some details is all
[18:05] <bishops> burmph: it always worked, it just sometimes it doesn't connect after a wake up from sleep or a change of connection. I already tried to find the problem with some guys here a few days ago but then I didn't have the problem so we couldn't see it in the /var/log/syslog file
[18:05] <bishops> burmph: but this time I can send the syslog file as the problem just happened several times
[18:06] <OerHeks> When does Firefox 39 'finally' come in our repo's ?
[18:06] <burmph> bishops, So when you installed, the wifi worked right away, no mods?
[18:06] <bishops> burmph: yes
[18:06] <TJ-> OerHeks: when the bugs have been fixed that cause 12.04 crashes
[18:07] <TJ-> OerHeks: I've been using it on 14.04 from the mozilla-team PPA ... it's got several regressions over 38
[18:07] <OerHeks> Thank you, TJ- so i better wait for 40?
[18:07] <burmph> bishops, Cool, that is more info that may help, not sure myself, my guess is just a signal strength issue, linux is a bit weak here, a guess however.
[18:08] <bishops> burmph: Ok thanks, i'm not sure that's the problem as I'm close to the router, that's my home connection.
[18:08] <TJ-> OerHeks: I'm not sure... I keep on with 39, though not sure what extras it brought :)  My main issue is on every startup it apologies that it crashed on last quit, and I have to approve it reopening the saved tabs. Does this across every profile I have
[18:09] <bishops> burmph: I'm thinking maybe there is a problem with the wireless app
[18:09] <burmph> bishops, Have you accessed the router and checked the signal level?
[18:09] <TJ-> OerHeks: I've also had it fail to play most HTML5 video, crashes the browser within a few seconds on Youtibe for example
[18:09] <bishops> burmph: but it does not only happen in my house, it happens on several connections
[18:10] <TJ-> OerHeks: that last could be due to me using very recent ffmpeg/avconv libraries though
[18:10] <burmph> bishops, Hopefully others can get you all fixed, not sure here, sorry.
[18:10] <bishops> burmph: my phone connects with no problem, and obviously phones have weaker receptors..
[18:10] <bishops> burmph: no worries thank you!
[18:11] <burmph> bishops, The only thing I would say here, is be careful with confirmation bias, be sure your conclusions are fact based is all, if not word accordingly. ;)
[18:11] <bishops> burmph: what do you mean?
[18:12] <burmph> bishops, There is a basic scientific inquiry methodology.
[18:12] <TJ-> BBLLCC: this will show you the names that PC's ACPI firmware recognises for acpi_os_name:  "grep Windows /tmp/.dsl"
[18:13] <bishops> burmph: alright but i don't see how to go about this. and also i'm a complete amateur..
[18:15] <pragmaticenigma> bishops, do you have a lot of saved WiFi connections?
[18:15] <bishops> pragmaticenigma: mm maybe, what's  a lot?
[18:15] <burmph> bishops, Your fine, your in the right place for help. ;)
[18:16] <pragmaticenigma> bishops, more than 5
[18:16] <bishops> pragmaticenigma: yes then
[18:16] <pragmaticenigma> bishops, I would start by removing all the networks you seldom connect to
[18:18] <AqD> is there any hardware sensor indicator for 15.04??
[18:18] <pragmaticenigma> bishops,  each time the card loses power... the computer has to go through that entire list and try to find an AP that works... if the list is very long, it could take a while. Also if any of those networks are in close proximity to your home... it might be trying to connect to that network instead of your home network
[18:19] <burmph> !lm-sensors | AqD
[18:19] <bishops> pragmaticenigma: alright, I have just kept two. home and office connections.. :)
[18:19] <burmph> AqD, I use a conky to read the sensors
[18:19] <burmph> err show*
[18:20] <pragmaticenigma> bishops, it's also best security practice to remove old ones so you are less likely to connect to rouge access points
[18:20] <bishops> pragmaticenigma: One question, when I connect to office one, there may be a whole protocol that is different from other connections (it's a university), so I'm wondering if this was the beginning of the mess?
[18:22] <AqD> conky??
[18:22]  * AqD googles
[18:22] <burmph> AqD, In the repos, and 1000's of custom scripts on the net.
[18:23] <burmph> AqD, There is a thread at the ubuntu forum with tons of scripts.
[18:23] <AqD> burmph: thx!
[18:23] <pragmaticenigma> bishops, what's unique about the office connection?
[18:23] <bishops> pragmaticenigma: i just closed the lid of the laptop and reopened it and it connected at lightning speed so maybe we solved the issue
[18:23] <burmph> AqD, No problem, you can have a cool one.
[18:24] <bishops> pragmaticenigma: it has a certificate protocol of some sort that I had to manually set up, but forget it
[18:24] <pragmaticenigma> bishops, awesome! If it should start doing that again, you could remove the office connection. It comes down to a process of elimination
[18:25] <bishops> pragmaticenigma: and next step just stop going to office, that would be great! :)
[18:25] <pragmaticenigma> bishops, if only!
[18:26] <bishops> pragmaticenigma: by the way I have another problem that is really bugging me. my webcam and one of my usb port is not working. Now the thing is they were working before i re-installed not long ago ubuntu 14.04. So i'm sure they are fine, I just don't understand why they stop working. Some people said the hardware is damaged but it is hard to believe because nothing happened in the meantime. any ideas?
[18:27] <burmph> bishops, Boot a live and seee if it os the same.
[18:27] <burmph> is*
[18:27] <bishops> burmph: sorry what does it mean? how to do this?
[18:28] <rubick> one of my ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS servers is running kernel 3.16. I think it "should" be running 3.13. Should I roll back, and how would I do so?
[18:28] <pragmaticenigma> bishops, he means use one of the Live CDs or Flash a USB drive with the Live version of Ubuntu... then test your camera
[18:28] <burmph> bishops, Boot the live iso download used for installing, in a usb or dvd.
[18:29] <burmph> rubick, If you installed as 14.04.2 you have the 3.16
[18:29] <BBLLCC> sorry TJ- i had to take a mini nap
[18:29] <pragmaticenigma> rubick, is there any particular reason you want to run a potentially vulnerable version of the kernel?
[18:29] <BBLLCC> but im back
[18:29] <bishops> burmph: oh ok, so i run ubuntu from the usb and see if on it these ports work
[18:30] <rubick> I thought patches were backported to the older kernels. Maybe I don't understand ubuntu's OS-to-kernel versioning.
[18:30] <burmph> rubick, Read carefully, not for up or down in your kernel's, just info. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[18:30] <Bashing-om> rubick: If the original ionstall with the -16 kernel is 14.04.2 then it is (H)ard (W)are (E)enablement . As it usese the next generation kernel and xserver .
[18:33] <Bashing-om> rubick: HWE; see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL .
[18:35] <TJ-> BBLLCC: "sudo apt-get install acpica-tools" then "sudo iasl -d -p /tmp/ /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT" then "pastebinit /tmp/.dsl"
[18:35] <TJ-> BBLLCC: this will show you the names that PC's ACPI firmware recognises for acpi_os_name:  "grep Windows /tmp/.dsl"
[18:36] <Guest59680> any ubuntu gurus kind enough to give me some advice on my lamp stack? msg me
[18:38] <BBLLCC> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843051/
[18:38] <burmph> Guest59680, You want peer reviewed help, do it on the channel.
[18:38] <Guest59680> ah, thank you burmph, new to this >.<
[18:39] <burmph> Guest59680, No Prob, we want you to get help. ;)
[18:39] <Guest59680> wait isn't this the channel tho? says official ubuntu support channel up top?
[18:40] <Pici> Guest59680: Ask the question here, not in private :)
[18:40] <Guest59680> Oh, gotchya
[18:42] <Guest59680> Proves how new I am to unix and even IRC for that matter, well I've been following online guides and setting up an ubuntu lamp stack web server at home for fun/practice and I did something real dumb.  I found a "fix" for it but I am concerned about my servers future security. Would it be better in the long run to just reinstall everything and start over?
[18:42] <Guest59680> I read somewhere that what I ignorantly did was a BIG NO-NO
[18:43] <pragmaticenigma> Guest59680, did you run chmod?
[18:43] <Guest59680> yes
[18:43] <BBLLCC> TJ-, i dont know what to di with thatinfo http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843051/
[18:43] <TJ-> BBLLCC: Reading the AML I'd guess the best selection would be "Windows 2001.1"
[18:44] <pragmaticenigma> Guest59680, you shouldn't have to reinstall ... but it may be faster depending on how customized the system is already
[18:44] <pragmaticenigma> Guest59680, there is a way to fix it in place though
[18:45] <bishops> i just tried to restart the system and launch ubuntu from disk and yes my webcam works and my usb port so what's going on!
[18:45] <Guest59680> pragmaticenigma: Okay, I believe that I have already done so then, because sudo is working, and everything seems fine.
[18:45] <BBLLCC> TJ-, ok, so now, where do I need to paste "kernel acpi_os_name=Windows 2001.1" ?
[18:45] <ioria> Guest59680,  you can paste  ls -al /var  on paste.ubuntu.com  for starters
[18:46] <bishops> burmph: i just tried to restart the system and launch ubuntu from disk and yes my webcam works and my usb port so what's going on!
