[09:30] <Gatis> Please explain me: "For example, if a sysadmind wanted to override the system configured default session (provided in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d) they should make a file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-myconfig.conf with the following:"
[09:31] <Gatis> Why i need to call file like this with number 50 before config name 50-myconfig.conf?
[09:31] <bronzilla> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8104867/
[09:32] <raz1> k1l_: Just tried the weekly project neon snapshot of plasma 5. It's completely unusable
[09:33] <raz1> k1l_: I really don't feel like building it myself from source, argh.
[09:33] <k1l_> Gatis: the files with numbers get read in increasing order.
[09:33] <raz1> I'm quite surprised no one made a ppa for stable plasma 5
[09:34] <k1l_> raz1: go for it :)
[09:34] <bronzilla> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8104867/
[09:36] <Gatis> k1l_, In /etc/lightdm/ directory i have 3 configurations "lightdm.conf" "lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf" and "lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf".. So i wonder which i should edit and which system will read first?
[09:36] <k1l_> Gatis: that is not a ...conf.d/ folder
[09:37] <Gatis> I don;t have conf.d folder
[09:37] <Gatis> It says: System administrators can override this configuration in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/*.conf and /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.
[09:37] <Gatis> So i wonder why i have 3 confs in /etc/lightdm folder?
[09:38]  * Gatis wants to understad this completely
[09:38] <TJ-> bronzilla: That looks correct too
[09:38] <bronzilla> TJ-: when i run encruyptfs-mount-private
[09:39] <bronzilla> i get auth tok smth sig nature
[09:39] <bronzilla> required key not available
[09:39] <bronzilla> ecryptfs-wrap-passphrase /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
[09:39] <bronzilla> TJ-: tell me procedure for this ecryptfs-wrap-passphrase /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase again?
[09:39] <Gatis> gatis@HP-Compaq-6715s-GR618ES-AK8:/etc/lightdm$ ls
[09:39] <Gatis> lightdm.conf  lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf  lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf  users.conf
[09:40] <Gatis> Does system read all 3 confs?
[09:40] <Gatis> or just lightdm.conf?
[09:42] <TJ-> bronzilla: It prompts you for the passphrase (the cryptographic hash that looks like an MD5 sum), then for the password to wrap it with
[09:43] <bronzilla> TJ-:  right... gave hash followed by my current password
[09:43] <TJ-> bronzilla: that should re-write the "wrapped-passphrase" file
[09:44] <elichai2> hey
[09:44] <elichai2> my laptop is auto disconnecting from the wifi after i leave it, there is any way to disable that?
[09:45] <quist> k1l_, The upgrade worked perfectly this time around, thank you for your time. :)
[09:45] <bronzilla> TJ-: when do ecrypt-mount-private post this procedure i can view a diffect auth tok each time..
[09:46] <TJ-> bronzilla:  That would be correct
[09:46] <bronzilla> TJ-: different auth sig
[09:46] <bronzilla> TJ-: they why am I getting ctr1_search smth msg
[09:47] <bronzilla> TJ-: requried key not available? :(
[09:48] <nicolas_> hi - just a easy question please: how format a usb key in fat32 ? thank yu
[09:48] <nicolas_> (m on linux mint)
[09:49] <k1l_> nicolas_: use gparted. for more support ask the mint guys if they got other solutions in their setup
[09:49] <k1l_> !mint | nicolas_
[09:49] <nicolas_> there re nobody on mint chat
[09:49] <k1l_> nicolas_: its another irc network
[09:49] <cfhowlett> nicolas_, mint is not supported here.  NOT supported here.  this is ubuntu.
[09:50] <nicolas_> but isn t the same wat to format a usb key on every linux ?
[09:50] <cfhowlett> nicolas_, mint - is - not - supported - here.
[09:50] <cfhowlett> nicolas_, and no, it's not the same on every linux.
[09:50] <nicolas_> ok I ride on ubuntu now but I want to install mint
[09:50] <Welastevil> someone knows where can I do a download of terminal emulator "terminology"?
[09:51] <k1l_> nicolas_: last time now: if you dont like the support the community offers for you dont use that OS. you were given a solution and a place to ask for more support.
[09:51] <cfhowlett> nicolas_, fine.  go to mint website, find installation instructions.
[09:51] <nicolas_> ok guys I try another way
[09:51] <alive4ever> Why not? nicolas_, you can just type "sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1"
[09:51] <alive4ever> Read manpage of mkfs.vfat for more details.
[09:52] <elichai2>  my laptop is auto disconnecting from the wifi after i leave it, there is any way to disable that?
[09:52] <bronzilla> TJ-: Have I hit dead lock? Isn't there any other way? Atleast extract files using my backup hash?
[09:52] <vitimiti> I use sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdbX for fat32
[09:52] <nicolas_> ok vitimiti I try this
[09:54] <bronzilla> Anyone here know's a way of extracting files from encrypted home directory using backup passphase??
[09:56] <elichai2> how to Prevent WiFi from disconnecting on idle?
[09:56] <TJ-> bronzilla: "ecryptfs-mount-private" should do that... you'll probably have to "cd /home/$USER/" after it succeeds to see the files though
[09:58] <superman098> guys, how to completely remove unity from ubuntu and full switch to fluxbox? i have ubuntu with fluxbox installed and stuck when try to get rid all of unity part... anybody?
[09:58] <cfhowlett> !nounity
[09:58] <elichai2> no ones know how to help me??
[09:59] <cfhowlett> !ask | elichai2,
[10:00] <elichai2> cfhowlett, already asked my question 3 times :\
[10:00] <elichai2> cfhowlett, <elichai2> how to Prevent WiFi from disconnecting on idle?
[10:00] <bronzilla> TJ-: i'm already in user@sytem
[10:00] <cfhowlett> elichai2, and if no one knows ... no one will answer.  be patient.
[10:00] <bronzilla> TJ-: tried ls
[10:00] <TJ-> bronzilla: That's fine, it still needs to be done so the file-system is refreshed after the encrypted file system is mounted under you
[10:01] <superman098> so Mr. ubottu, my ubuntu version is 14.04 so i install gnome-panel and along with fluxbox to do it?
[10:01] <Ben64> elichai2: it would probably be helpful if you gave more information about the problem
[10:01] <bronzilla> TJ-: got Access-your-private-data.desktop and readme.txt
[10:01] <cfhowlett> !encryption > cfhowlett
[10:01] <elichai2> Ben64, when i leave my laptop it's automatically logs out and then disconnects from the wifi until i login back again
[10:02] <TJ-> bronzilla: so the mount failed? check with "mount | grep ecryptfs"
[10:02] <kgalahassa> my minitube crash on ubuntu 14.04
[10:02] <kgalahassa> my minitube crash on ubuntu 14.04 eachtime once i have done a search
[10:02] <bronzilla> TJ-: btw ecryptfs-mount-private again showed requried key not available :(
[10:02] <Ben64> elichai2: then set it to not log out?
[10:03] <TJ-> bronzilla: I think you've used the wrong passphrase (the hash) ... that's the key it is talking about.
[10:03] <elichai2> Ben64, i want it to log out, but i don't want it to disconnect
[10:03] <bronzilla> "mount | grep ecryptfs"  show's nothing
[10:03] <bronzilla> wait
[10:03] <bronzilla> msg TJ- 0be53e932726f0048491e725d055705df
[10:03] <Ben64> elichai2: probably not going to happen like that
[10:03] <bronzilla> crap!
[10:03] <elichai2> Ben64, ok, so how i make it not to log out?
[10:04] <bronzilla> nevermind.. that's my key.. TJ-  all zeros right?
[10:04] <cfhowlett> elichai2, logout = disconnect for security.
[10:04] <TJ-> bronzilla: yeah it is hexadecimal encoded
[10:05] <bronzilla> then why do I get key error?
[10:05] <adrian_> hola
[10:05] <elichai2> cfhowlett, really? so whenever i logout its immediately auto disconnecting from the wifi?
[10:05] <bronzilla> it's a hard written backup copy I wrote down during creation!!!
[10:05] <TJ-> bronzilla: because either the unwrapped version is not correct, or that one does not match the one used to encrypt the data
[10:06] <cfhowlett> elichai2, would you really want your system connected w/o user control?
[10:06] <bronzilla> TJ-: :( oh dear would changing password have affected this?? :o
[10:06] <root____1> tes
[10:07] <Gatis> HOw to check shortcut keys for Ubuntu?
[10:07] <dulmatin> tes
[10:07] <bronzilla> And why do I get this when I ls home/user ? " Access-your-private-data.desktop and readme.txt "
[10:07] <elichai2> cfhowlett, i want it to keep download my torrents
[10:07] <llutz> elichai2: edit connection-settings and set "all users might use this connection"
[10:07] <k1l_> !rootirc > dulmatin
[10:07] <TJ-> bronzilla: check the ownership of /home/$USER and the directories there with "ls -al /home/$USER/"
[10:07]  * bronzilla is doomed!!
[10:08] <llutz> elichai2: it shouldn't disconnect on logout then (and not wait for someone to login to connect)
[10:08] <elichai2> llutz, already setted
[10:08] <kgalahassa> my minitube crash on ubuntu 14.04 eachtime once i have done a search
[10:08] <TJ-> bronzilla: Because the user's home directory only has these files in it. The encrypted home is kept at /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.Private/, which is mounted over /home/$USER/ when unlocked.
[10:08] <Gatis> When i installed Ubuntu 14.04 i got screen with shortcut keys? How to view it again
[10:08] <bronzilla> TJ-: I see smth.. how do I pastebin it?
[10:09] <elichai2> llutz, that's a fact
[10:09] <vitimiti> Gatis, if you keep pressed the Cmd key (windows key), you'll see the screen in a few seconds
[10:09] <bronzilla> TJ-: files date back to 2012
[10:09] <llutz> elichai2: well, "works here" ;) no idea then
[10:10] <Gatis> vitimiti, great tip Thanks!
[10:10] <vitimiti> np
[10:10] <elichai2> my torrent will never finish like that :\
[10:10] <elichai2> llutz, so how can i disable the auto logging out?
[10:10] <bronzilla> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8105094/
[10:12] <llutz> elichai2: auto logout? system should lock after a while idling but not log you out
[10:13] <elichai2> llutz, same same new name
[10:13] <bronzilla> TJ-: are you there? :o :( :(
[10:13] <TJ-> bronzilla: Yes, that's correct, as expected
[10:13] <kankan_> hi
[10:13] <llutz> elichai2: nonsense, locked session means you're still logged in
[10:13] <elichai2> llutz, that what i meant, after while idling it's lock my laptop and disconnects from the network
[10:13] <elichai2> llutz, yeah, but the wifi disconnects
[10:13] <nicolas_> hi sorry I can t find the way to format my usb key in fat 32. I presently ride on ubuntu (the last os). Could anybody help please ?
[10:14] <bronzilla> TJ-: ok so my backup hash dates back to 2012 then why do I get key error :(
[10:14] <k1l_> nicolas_: what does "lsb_release -d" give you?
[10:14] <llutz> elichai2: check if there are some powersaving options active (wifi-settings, powersettings)
[10:14] <nicolas_> it doens t work kll
[10:15] <elichai2> llutz, the only thing in the power settings is i asked it to not suspend my laptop. theres nothing else there i can set
[10:15] <k1l_> nicolas_: then go to the mint guys and ask them for support like told several times now!
[10:15] <TJ-> bronzilla: I think you'll need to file a bug report on this one
[10:16] <bronzilla> TJ-: :(
[10:16] <TJ-> bronzilla: I guess this doesn't list a key: "keyctl list @us"
[10:17] <elichai2> there is somewhere some more power settings?
[10:17] <bronzilla> TJ-: it does
[10:17] <bronzilla> 1 key in keyring
[10:18] <bronzilla> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8105133/
[10:18] <TJ-> bronzilla: Hmmm, that was unexpected.
[10:18] <TJ-> bronzilla: hmmm, the group is -1 ... that's not good
[10:18]  * bronzilla in panic state HELP!!
[10:19] <TJ-> bronzilla: "getent passwd rider" ?
[10:19] <bronzilla> TJ-:http://paste.ubuntu.com/8105143/
[10:20] <TJ-> bronzilla: "getent group 65534" and "getent group 65536"
[10:20]  * bronzilla anyone messed with lappy in airport?? :o :o Should I unplug it frm net???
[10:21] <bronzilla> 65534 no group
[10:21] <bronzilla> 65536 entered
[10:21] <kankan_> quit
[10:22] <bronzilla> TJ-:  65534 no group 65536 it entered
[10:22] <TJ-> bronzilla: That's OK then.
[10:22] <bronzilla> TJ-: hmm...
[10:24] <YamakasY> why is /etc/network/interfaces.d not included ?
[10:24] <TJ-> bronzilla: The bit I'm unclear of is why the group ID shown in the "keyctl list @us" command was -1 ... I'd expected to see 65534, but don't know if that is significant
[10:25] <bronzilla> TJ-: ok is my key corrupted?? :o
[10:25] <TJ-> bronzilla: Unknown at this point
[10:26] <Guest91588> Hello!
[10:26] <Guest91588> I need some help with ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[10:27] <Deepfriedice> !ask | Guest91588
[10:27] <bronzilla> TJ-: Do I backup encrypted files and unplug?
[10:28] <TJ-> bronzilla: Well they're all still there, they won't go away
[10:29] <Guest91588> I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, my cursor blinks every second, and my screen sometimes breakes down, showing coloured lines.
[10:29] <ech0s7> hi
[10:29] <bronzilla> TJ-: how do I get it back? There has to be someway of extracting files using hash?
[10:30] <ech0s7> it's possible to install openssh-server on ubuntu live ?
[10:30] <bronzilla> ech0s7: live distro?
[10:30] <ech0s7> bronzilla: yes
[10:31] <Guest91588> hello ech0s7
[10:31] <kankan_> exit
[10:31] <Guest91588> I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, my cursor blinks every second, and my screen sometimes breakes down, showing coloured lines.
[10:31] <bronzilla> Guest91588: drivers...
[10:32] <Guest91588> how do i install new drivers
[10:32] <Deepfriedice> Guest91588: What Graphics card do you have?
[10:32] <Guest91588> sorry, don't really know
[10:33] <Deepfriedice> lspic
[10:33] <Deepfriedice> bah.
[10:33] <Guest91588> but i wonder why my cursor blinks exactly every second
[10:33] <TJ-> bronzilla: nope, you've got to be able to unlock it to get to the files, and that is failing.  What does this show "keyctl show" ?
[10:33] <Deepfriedice> Guest91588: lspci will tell you what kind of graphics card you have. You problem sounds like a driver issue.
[10:34] <bronzilla> pratz: hey!
[10:34] <Guest91588> how do i find out what graphic card i use?
[10:34] <Deepfriedice> Guest91588: Run "lspci" in a console.

[10:36] <Guest91588> is that right?
[10:36] <elichai2> ops, sorry for the repost
[10:37] <TJ-> bronzilla: Yes, same as mine *but* the group ID is again wrong, on mine the 4 lines have: 65534, 65534, 1000, 1000. "1000" is my user's group ID, 65534 is "nobody" group
[10:37] <bronzilla> TJ-: How can i fix that?
[10:37] <ubunt> hello
[10:37] <TJ-> bronzilla: have you done anything recently with user accounts, IDs, or the PAM sub-system for logins?
[10:38] <iSagitt> TIMON!!
[10:38] <TJ-> bronzilla: I have no idea; this is the first time I've had to deal with the key database infrastructure this deeply, I'm not even sure if that is an indicator of a/the problem, or not
[10:38] <Deepfriedice> Guest91588: Do you have an older mobo? If so, then that sounds right.
[10:38] <bronzilla> TJ-: used root method for changing password...
[10:39] <ubunt> somebody know a mp4 to mpeg2 converter that work from shell terminal?
[10:39] <bronzilla> TJ-: but that was long back...
[10:40] <TJ-> bronzilla: Not clear how to solve this, we've investigated and used all the regular methods for fixing the general issue, but you've got something slightly different going on there
[10:40] <bronzilla> TJ-: :( tell me am I doomed?
[10:42] <TJ-> bronzilla: You need someone like Dustin Kirkland, one of the core devs of ecryptfs. File a bug against ecryptfs
[10:43] <TJ-> bronzilla: long shot but... I wonder if the keyring just has a bad key in it from the messing about... try a full restart just-in-case
[10:43] <bronzilla> TJ-: i've already restarted like thrice!
[10:44] <TJ-> bronzilla: OK, scrube that idea then
[10:44] <bronzilla> TJ-: is dustion on irc?
[10:44] <bronzilla> *dustin
[10:44] <bronzilla> ready to file a bug tell me what all i need to mention?
[10:44] <TJ-> bronzilla: bug report then. No. He'll see te bug report if you file it against ecryptfs. subscribe me too (user 'tj' on launchpad) and I'll follow up on it
[10:46] <TJ-> bronzilla: Primary is the actual error you see when logging-in, then explain the lost-password change from root, then the basic rewrap tasks you've gone through to use the new user password to wrap the passphrase, and that you have the original passphrase written down from 2012
[10:47] <kudakwashe> i mistakenly chose the uk keyboard during installation, should have chosen us, so now when i want a tilde i get ¬ and if i want a  hash i get £
[10:47] <kudakwashe> how can i change that?
[10:47] <kudakwashe> i was thinking about spelling not the keyboard layout eg colour color not the layout of the keys
[10:48] <vitimiti> kudakwashe, in the keyboard configuration you have an option for text entry where to change and edit the layouts
[10:49] <vitimiti> kudakwashe, and then, in the languages support, make sure English (US) is in the first place and make it install such language support
[10:50] <kudakwashe> i'm using language UK because in Zimbabwe we use British English but the keybourd layout i need is US not UK
[10:50] <kudakwashe> the language settings are okay
[10:50] <kudakwashe> it's just two keys that are giving me a problem
[10:50] <kudakwashe> hash and tilde
[10:50] <vitimiti> The let the language as it is and change the language
[10:50] <vitimiti> screw me
[10:51] <vitimiti> kudakwashe, change the layout and leave the language, I meant
[10:51] <kudakwashe> where do i change the layout
[10:53] <eeee> kudakwashe: settings > text entry
[10:53] <kudakwashe> eeee: thanks
[10:53] <eeee> np

[11:46] <lord4163> Can I ask a Lubuntu question here? Noone wants to respond to me in #lubuntu it seems. I can't get the language properly set to Dutch, a lot of things remain in English
[11:48] <sgo11> hi, how can I do-release-upgrade from quantal release? I can not even apt-get update. many 404 errors returns. thanks.

[12:05] <sjoshi> hello, how can i change the number of workspaces in ubuntu14.04.1
[12:05] <sjoshi> by default its coming as 4, i need to reduce it to 2
[12:07] <SCHAAP137> sjoshi, if u rightclick on the workspaces thingy in the toolbar, it should allow u to set some options for it
[12:07] <SCHAAP137> or maybe alt rightclick
[12:08] <sjoshi> SCHAAP137: nothing, about this on that menu
[12:08] <ShalokShalom> sjoshi: ubuntu unity ?
[12:09] <sjoshi> yup
[12:09] <sjoshi> ShalokShalom: ^^
[12:10] <sjoshi> reading this -> http://askubuntu.com/questions/34572/how-can-i-reduce-or-increase-the-number-of-workspaces-in-unity
[12:11] <sjoshi> do i need to install a software just to bring it down to 2 ?
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> sjoshi  unity-tweak can do alot
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> !find tweak
[12:13] <sad> Hi
[12:13] <vad> hi
[12:13] <sjoshi> MonkeyDust: thats doesnot sounds like a fair deal to me.. what if i need to just do this
[12:14] <sad> Ive a little problem. Can you help me pleas?
[12:14] <sgo11> fixed
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> sjoshi  i offered a possible solution, it's up to you now
[12:15] <sjoshi> MonkeyDust: thanks :) !

[12:17] <ericbutters> hey.. how to use find with exec and still print filenames?
[12:18] <dubst3pp4> metalcamp: -print
[12:18] <dubst3pp4> find . -print -exec rm -f {} \;
[12:19] <dubst3pp4> sorry, was for ericbutters
[12:19] <dubst3pp4> find . -print -exec rm -f {} \;
[12:19] <ericbutters> dubst3pp4: thanks
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> ericbutters  ignore that command, it removes everything
[12:19] <sad> I use " Xubuntu " I tried just now . It was not succesvol.
[12:20] <sgo11> hi, if I plan to upgrade my quantal release, do I have to upgrade it to raring first? and then to warty, lucid, precise, saucy, and finally trusty? can I directly upgrade it to trusty? thanks.
[12:20] <sad> the name of file is " btsync ".
[12:20] <Guest53083> who know some openstack community
[12:20] <ericbutters> MonkeyDust: i know :) but that -print is what i need
[12:21] <k1l_> dubst3pp4: please dont provide such commands with rm to new users.
[12:21] <MonkeyDust> sgo11  not directly, you'd have to take allt those steps... backup and fresh install would be faster, easier, cleaner, more efficient
[12:23] <sgo11> MonkeyDust, thanks. I am just lazy, don't want to configure all the services manually again. I will think about fresh install. that upgrade sequence seems too much.
[12:25] <alsu> I’m trying to get my app to make a core file. when it crashes, I see “Segmentation fault (core dumped)”, however no core file appears in the current directory
[12:26] <alsu> where is it?
[12:28] <MonkeyDust> alsu  are you a developer?
[12:28] <alsu> I am
[12:28] <MonkeyDust> alsu  then try #ubuntu-app-devel
[12:29] <alsu> thanks!
[12:37] <ringzer0> I have about 8 terminal tabs open - I have decided to name them all after the servers they are connected to ... this takes some time ... but when I shut my laptop lid, BAM - I have 8 frozen tabs.
[12:37] <ringzer0> Is there an escape char or some way to reset these terminal tabs in the gui without loosing the tab?
[12:38] <ringzer0> in putty/kitty, you just click the top left, and click "restart connection" - I just dont want to have to open a new tab and rename ...
[12:39] <drewjo> ringzer0, frozen tabs?
[12:39] <drewjo> well don't close your laptop lid :P
[12:41] <ringzer0> drewjo: lol - i move around a lot.
[12:42] <drewjo> hm
[12:42] <drewjo> maybe disable standby
[12:42] <ringzer0> drewjo: basically, the tabs freeze when you loose your ssh connection.
[12:42] <drewjo> I don't think you can work around that.
[12:42] <ringzer0> I suppose I could wrap each one in a screen and then have at LEAST the control to kill the window.
[12:43] <ringzer0> without having to restart and rename the darn tab.
[12:44] <ringzer0> it's just annoying evey time I open my laptop having to open up 8 ssh tabs and reconnect to the same 8 boxes, and have to rename 8 tabs 4-6 times/day
[12:44] <ringzer0> I wish I could ctrl+c and get back to my local box's terminal ringzer0@localhost:$
[12:44] <ringzer0> then i could reconnect via up-arrow / enter.
[12:48] <alsu> I’m running LTS 12.04 and it seems a package in it is too old. can I cherry-pick one from 14.04.1 LTS?
[12:50] <k1l_> alsu: that will result in depency problems. better to look out for a PPA
[12:50] <qwerty123> hy.
[12:50] <qwerty123> how many runqueues are there in linux?
[12:51] <alsu> k1l_: a) what’s a PPA b) apt-cache rdepends says there are no dependencies?
[12:51] <alanbitsch> hi
[12:51] <alanbitsch> whats the ubuntu version of MS Paint?
[12:52] <alsu> k1l_: oh. rdepends is reverse not recusive. it has dependencies
[12:52] <k1l_> !ppa | alsu

[12:55] <qwerty123> k1l_: hey , can you help me with linux scheduling??
[12:56] <alsu> k1l_: I did it!
[12:56] <k1l_> Yevgeny: does ssh give you an error?
[12:56] <Yevgeny> yes it times out
[12:56] <alsu> k1l_: found PPA, added the repo, installed it, confirm bug fixed

[13:06] <yskapell> gr.archi is pingable from the same machine
[13:06] <k1l_> yskapell: did you change something in the sources.list?
[13:06] <yskapell> no
[13:06] <yskapell> the default I had
[13:06] <ph1|1p> MonkeyDust: unnerving.
[13:06] <yskapell> it is 3 mins that the installation complete
[13:07] <k1l_> please put the /etc/apt/sources.list into a pastebin and show us the link
[13:08] <afwewWEWdsfewaf> i am going to install Linux 14.04 LTS (Server) on an old PC and this Computer hasn't a Networkcard. When i wanna install it: Must i 've got Internet ??
[13:08] <MonkeyDust> ph1|1p  like this, while in less:    :e [filename]
[13:08] <k1l_> afwewWEWdsfewaf: no. but you will need it to install packages the easy way
[13:08] <yskapell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8106185/
[13:08] <afwewWEWdsfewaf> ok. thanks

[13:10] <k1l_> yskapell: first off, its not common on ubuntu to be root, we use sudo for that. then please run  a "sudo apt-get udpate && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and show it again in pastebin
[13:10] <ph1|1p> oh, no. :n gives next.
[13:11] <ph1|1p> cool.

[13:27] <yskapell> Can I resetup apt-get sources.list?
[13:29]  * Petskull sighs and reaches for his re-install media..
[13:29] <digitsm> Hello
[13:29] <digitsm> I have installed a free xubuntu
[13:30] <digitsm> But it has not recognized my internal wifi card
[13:31] <drewjo> digitsm, you may need wireless firmware
[13:31] <Petskull> digitsm: do an `lspci`, find your wifi card, and paste that line here
[13:32] <drewjo> !firmware
[13:32] <drewjo> !wireless
[13:32] <digitsm> in the "Additioanl Drivers", it recognized my wifi card as "Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card" and suggests me to install "Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary)"
[13:33] <drewjo> then do it
[13:33] <drewjo> broadcom is not very nice and won't work without prop firmware
[13:34] <Petskull> but there's a lot written for it already, so don't be scared
[13:34] <digitsm> drewjo: I think I did it before but it already didn't recognized my wifi
[13:34] <digitsm> let me try again
[13:35] <digitsm> I have another driver issue with my old nvidia driver too
[13:36] <digitsm> It recommends me to install latest nvidia driver (338 or so), but after installing latest proprietary nvidia driver, my laptop don't shutdown or reboot
[13:36] <yskapell> k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8106318/
[13:36] <yskapell> any idea on this one?
[13:37] <drewjo> won't shutdown?
[13:37] <drewjo> !nvidia
[13:37] <digitsm> I could roll back any driver issue by reverting to my previous btrfs snapshot (yay!  It is the default of Ubuntu
[13:44] <yskapell> and I apologise for my language
[13:45] <wheatthin> yskapell, http://askubuntu.com/questions/468058/repositories-error
[13:45] <deriidf> I'm not good at english language,  I'm looking for language i can
[13:46] <wheatthin> drewjo, since the early 90's sound hasn't played a huge part on any cpu consumption.
[13:46] <drewjo> no, but it draws power from the batter
[13:46] <deriidf> bye.. i must go to #ubuntu-indonesia
[13:46] <drewjo> battery
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> deriidf  save the battery by not switching the pc on   (joke)
[13:47] <drewjo> the cpu isn't a power source
[13:47] <wheatthin> drewjo, then you'd have to turn it off from the bios.. which is stupid. Plug the thing in, or battery with extended life
[13:47] <wheatthin> buy*
[13:47] <drewjo> I'm talking about sounds
[13:47] <drewjo> playing sounds uses power
[13:47] <drewjo> so mute the speaker
[13:48] <wheatthin> lol that doesn't make sense.
[13:48] <wheatthin> the chip is still powered.
[13:48] <drewjo> yes it does
[13:48] <popey> I'd recommend using tools like powertop to analyse power usage.
[13:48] <drewjo> the speaker cone is what uses power
[13:48] <popey> nope
[13:48] <wheatthin> lol
[13:48] <drewjo> it is an electromegnet
[13:48] <drewjo> electromagnet
[13:48] <popey> The display, hard disk, cpu and gpu eat way more than the speaker.
[13:49] <drewjo> I never said they didn't
[13:49] <cyford> amplifier uses power
[13:49] <drewjo> I'm just answering his question
[13:49] <popey> so why focus on something that doesn't eat power.
[13:49] <wheatthin> smh
[13:49] <drewjo> it does if you are playing sounds
[13:49] <popey> you get way better benefits by actually focussing on the thing eating your battery.
[13:49] <underplay> How do i run a program at boot after the network has been started?
[13:50] <drewjo> unnderplay:
[13:50] <drewjo> !appstart
[13:50] <underplay> !appstart
[13:50] <wheatthin> !upstart
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> underplay  create a cronjob with @reboot [command]
[13:51] <underplay> MonkeyDust: I need to start the program at boot not reboot :)
[13:51] <yskapell> I tried sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A902DDA375E52366 and I got keyserver timeout
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> underplay  it's the same
[13:51] <underplay> ok i think i found the solution
[13:51] <qstrahl> Chromium and Chrome are behaving oddly suddenly; they freeze up as soon as I run them. Bunch of errors in the console. And, weirdly, if I try switching workspaces while they're in this state, my whole login session implodes. Any ideas?
[13:51] <underplay> ah ok monkeydust, im just going to use init, thanks
[13:51] <david38400> Just connected a flat screen 22" tv to my computer but no sound. Can anyone help please
[13:51] <wheatthin> qstrahl, do you have proprietary graphics drivers installed?
[13:52] <qstrahl> wheatthin, I sure do
[13:53] <david38400> Can anyone help with a sound problem please?
[13:53] <drewjo> !nvidia
[13:53] <popey> david38400: how is the TV connected?
[13:53] <drewjo> !sound
[13:54] <david38400> popey, Thks. Its connect with the vga and an hdmi cable
[13:54] <popey> both?
[13:54] <david38400> yes
[13:54] <drewjo> you only need one
[13:54] <popey> david38400: running unity?
[13:54] <drewjo> the hdmi
[13:54] <david38400> do I just disconnect the vga then?
[13:55] <drewjo> yes
[13:55] <david38400> popey, I'm running ubuntu 14.04
[13:55] <popey> david38400: click the volume control and then click sound mixer
[13:55] <popey> sorry, sound settings
[13:55] <popey> in the "output" tab do you see an option for "play sound through" -> HDMI ?
[13:56] <david38400> popey, I am new to ubuntu14.04 and don't know how to move around. Where are the sound settings
[13:56] <popey> david38400: top right, speaker icon in the panel
[13:56] <ifgmarcelo> lll
[13:57] <studentt> hello, can I install ubuntu first and then windows. Or must i install windows first, if i want dualboot
[13:57] <qstrahl> wheatthin, What's the conflict there?
[13:57] <david38400> popey, did that no luck
[13:57] <ifg_> eae
[13:57] <ifgmarcelo> e ae
[13:57] <ifg_> eae cuzoa
[13:57] <david38400> popey, I disconnected the hdmi cable and left only the vga
[13:57] <popey> david38400: is the TV on HDMI input, and not VGA input? (also unplug the VGA)
[13:57] <ifg_> bitch
[13:57] <popey> david38400: no, you wanted the other
[13:57] <ifg_> bitch
[13:58] <david38400> popey, its on vga input
[13:58] <_0943x> studentt, First must be windows
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> studentt  first "win, then lin", or windows ruins your grub menu (windows is good ruining pc's)
[13:58] <studentt> okay
[13:58] <popey> david38400: you want HDMI, audio goes over HDMI cables, not over VGA, VGA is display only, no audio
[13:58] <popey> david38400: whereas HDMI carries display and Audio
[13:58] <popey> well.. it can ☻
[13:58] <yskapell> ok here is the issue
[13:58] <yskapell> I can ping google.com
[13:58] <ifgmarcelo> join #<canal>
[13:58] <david38400> popey, If I disconnect the vga the pictures goes off
[13:59] <yskapell> but I CANNOT get the page using wget
[13:59] <yskapell> the name resolv normally
[13:59] <popey> david38400: to be expected. so plug HDMI in.
[13:59] <digitsm> OK
[13:59] <popey> yskapell: are you on a private network with a proxy / firewall in the way?
[13:59] <digitsm> I installed Broadcom STA and then
[13:59] <david38400> popey, so..... unplug hdmi first, then disconnect the vga and reconnect the hdmi? Is that the order
[13:59] <digitsm> I couldn't shutdown or suspend
[14:00] <yskapell> popey: no iptables
[14:00] <popey> david38400: the order isn't important, just remove VGA and plug HDMI
[14:00] <yskapell> for proxy not sure
[14:00] <david38400> popey, will try now
[14:00] <ifg_> opa
[14:00] <ifg_> i'm going back
[14:00] <digitsm> I thought this is a problem of my nvidia card, but it seems it's more likely because of my wifi card
[14:00] <popey> ifg_: keep the language clean please.
[14:01] <cfhowlett> popey, please ban him - he's only here to disrupt
[14:01] <ifg_> no
[14:01] <ifg_> lie..
[14:01] <david38400> popey, I disconnected the vga and the screen went blank
[14:01] <popey> ifg_: do you need support with Ubuntu?
[14:01] <popey> david38400: as expected
[14:01] <cfhowlett> ifg_, ask your ubuntu questions
[14:01] <popey> david38400: plug HDMI in.
[14:01] <ifg_> yes
[14:01] <david38400> popey, will try again
[14:01] <ifg_> ubuntu is a shit
[14:02] <Arr0way> best way to install > 3.2 kernel on ubuntu trusty 14.04 LTS ?
[14:02] <david38400> popey, Screen goes blank when disconnecting the vga and whenn I plug in the hdmi it says check signal cable
[14:03] <popey> Arr0way: 14.04 ships with > 3.2 kernel, I'm running 3.13 here
[14:03] <david38400> popey, with the PC sign on the top left, nothing else  on the screen
[14:03] <popey> david38400: you probably need to select the HDMI input
[14:03] <popey> david38400: with your TV remote
[14:03] <david38400> popey, so I need to do this on the remote control, will tery
[14:03] <popey> david38400: ya
[14:04] <xubuntolixo> shit
[14:05] <yskapell> It was wrong gateway.... all that time...
[14:05] <david38400> popey, there isnt anything on the remote in sound indicating hdmi input. I connected with TV Speakers
[14:05] <yskapell> :(
[14:05] <popey> yskapell: yay!
[14:05] <yskapell> Thank you for you support
[14:05] <david38400> popey, I have the sound settings on hdmi
[14:05] <popey> david38400: no. there should be an option to select video input on the TV
[14:05] <popey> david38400: not sound, video.
[14:06] <david38400> popey, thks will check this then
[14:06] <yskapell> btw, when I typed sudo <command> and after I type user passwd I got memory leak
[14:06] <eeee> yskapell: what was the error?
[14:06] <digitsm> I never had problem with Broadcom STA driver before. I don't know why I can't suspend or shutdown after just installing Broadcom STA?!!!
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> brb
[14:07] <digitsm> P.S. Broadcom STA doesn't recognize my Wifi Card either
[14:07] <cfhowlett> digitsm, never a problem here either.  are you sure you require the broadcom STA driver?
[14:07] <david38400> popey, cant fiind any video settings
[14:07] <digitsm> P.P.S. I have 2 wifi cards (another one is an external PCMCIA card)
[14:07] <david38400> popey, perhaps not checking on the remote in the right place then
[14:07] <yskapell> no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
[14:07] <popey> david38400: the tv should have an option to select input. usually a remote has a button with a square with a little arrow pointing into it
[14:08] <eeee> yskapell: try ls -l `which sudo`
[14:08] <digitsm> cfhowlett, Yeah, because it doesn't recognize my internal laptop wifi card
[14:08] <eeee> yskapell: maybe you have a modified sudo
[14:08] <kannanunniks> haii
[14:08] <eeee> (backdoor or something)
[14:08] <Boscop> why doesn't dist-upgrade upgrade to the latest version? how to upgrade to the latest version?
[14:08] <eeee> yskapell: this is mine /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
[14:08] <eeee> sorry

[14:08] <popey> yskapell: do you have samba installed?
[14:09] <popey> yskapell: and maybe libpam-smbpass ?
[14:09] <yskapell> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 155008 Feb 10  2014 /usr/bin/sudo
[14:09] <yskapell> yes I have popey

[14:10] <david38400> popey, Eureka.... great, many thanks I had it set on PC and when I did what you said and put it on hdmi it works fabulously.
[14:10] <popey> david38400: sweet! great times!
[14:10] <yskapell> I am reading it right now

[14:11] <david38400> popey, Many many thanks you guys are so patient and helpful, hope everyone appreciates that!
[14:11] <david38400> Bye
[14:12] <popey> I hope so too!
[14:12] <drewjo> I am running windows 8.1 until I get my internet back
[14:12]  * sayurelektronik test
[14:13] <drewjo> god damn antivirus used up all of my mobile quota
[14:14] <digitsm> I really don't know why my laptop drivers doesn't work?!
[14:15] <digitsm> I had linux (LMDE) on this old laptop (Dell Latitude D-830) for a long time
[14:15] <digitsm> And everything worked well before
[14:15] <digitsm> I am sure I had Broadcom STA on this laptop before and it worked. Dunno why it makes these issues now
[14:17] <Muchoz> I dualbooted a Windows 8 with Ubuntu 14.04 and changed the grub settings so it would wait 5 seconds and boot into Windows, else you could select Ubuntu. We used boot-repair and everything was fine, we could boot into Ubuntu. But once we boot into Windows, it doesn't go to the grub anymore. I have disabled secure boot and Windows Fastboot. Then I have also installed Ubuntu with an EFI partition and a swap partition. Can someone please tell me how to
[14:17] <Muchoz>  tell this shitty Windows to go to Grub?
[14:18] <cfhowlett> Muchoz, no profanity.  not permitted.  stop now.
[14:18] <eeee> Muchoz: hp laptop?
[14:18] <Muchoz> We're dual booting a business PC because other people (not tech people) need to use the windows on it for Photoshop and stuff.
[14:18] <Muchoz> There is a reason I'm installing Ubuntu.
[14:19] <CodeGosu> how do you enable nvidia adaptive vsync in ubuntu?
[14:20] <Muchoz> eeee, it's a Dell desktop.
[14:22] <eeee> it only happens when you boot into windows?
[14:22] <eeee> ( @ Muchoz )
[14:22] <eeee> Muchoz: if you boot into ubuntu, grub keeps showing up?
[14:24] <Muchoz> When we install Ubuntu and install grub, it works fine. We can go to Ubuntu from Grub, but once we go to Windows we can't go to the grub anymore.
[14:24] <Muchoz> eeee, ^
[14:25] <LiENUS> i have a ups that i plugged into my laptop via usb and ubuntu auto detects it but its showing the battery as 97% full but its red in the tray i'm trying to pull the ups battery health info to confirm dead batteries
[14:25] <eeee> Muchoz: did you try selecting the boot options to select ubuntu ?
[14:25] <LiENUS> is there a way with the built in tools or do i need to install something like nut?
[14:25] <LiENUS> (apc ups)
[14:26] <Muchoz> eeee, as I said. We install Ubuntu and in the boot options (grub) we select Ubuntu and that works fine. But if you select Windows once, you can never go in the selector again.
[14:26] <eeee> Muchoz: there might be something like "OS boot manager, ubuntu" in the bios boot options
[14:27] <Muchoz> eeee, there is not.
[14:27] <Muchoz> Only Windows Boot Manager
[14:27] <digitsm> Muchoz, Are you sure you didn't repair (whether manually or automatically) your win 8.1?
[14:27] <Muchoz> digitsm, why would I repair my Windows 8.1?
[14:27] <digitsm> Because this usually happens when you windows repairs itself
[14:28] <eeee> digitsm: some windows are doing this
[14:28] <eeee> Muchoz: is the pc next to you right now?
[14:28] <digitsm> In that case windows will overwrite its loader instead of grub
[14:28] <Muchoz> eeee, yes
[14:28] <digitsm> I have win8.1 + xubuntu14.04 in dual boot configuration but have not entered to win yet
[14:28] <Muchoz> digitsm, well it isn't.
[14:29] <digitsm> I will test it and report you the resutl
[14:29] <Muchoz> I've got a xubuntu cd here too
[14:29] <eeee> Muchoz: ok, to boot into ubuntu, there should be a key you press during boot up to select what to boot, try f12 or esc, or f10
[14:29] <eeee> it should say os boot manager and ubuntu below it
[14:29] <Muchoz> eeee, I know. It's not in there.
[14:29] <eeee> Muchoz: ok boot a livecd then
[14:29] <Muchoz> We are right now
[14:30] <eeee> ok
[14:30] <Muchoz> It's up
[14:30] <eeee> ok type lsblk
[14:30] <eeee> in a terminal
[14:31] <serocull> how i see channel list
[14:31] <Pici> !alsi | serocull
[14:31] <Pici> !alis | serocull
[14:31] <serocull> thanks
[14:31] <Muchoz> eeee, yes?
[14:32] <serocull> !alsi
[14:32] <eeee> Muchoz: type sudo parted -l , and take note of your efi partition number
[14:33] <Pici> serocull: Its alis, and see the message from ubottu above.
[14:33] <eeee> as well as the ubuntu installation's partition number
[14:33] <Muchoz> eeee, I don't see which of them is the efi partition
[14:33] <eeee> Muchoz: efi should be fat32, ubuntu ext3/4
[14:33] <Muchoz> it's not saying the format
[14:33] <eeee> Muchoz: did you try sudo parted -l ?
[14:33] <Muchoz> but I have gparted open
[14:34] <serocull> #ubuntu-es
[14:34] <serocull> shit
[14:34] <Muchoz> eeee, now I see the EFI partition
[14:34] <cfhowlett> !es | serocull no profanity - not allowed.
[14:34] <eeee> ok, and the main installation's partition ?
[14:35] <Muchoz> eeee, of Ubuntu or Windows?
[14:35] <eeee> ubuntu
[14:35] <Muchoz> alright
[14:35] <Muchoz> Yes
[14:36] <eeee> ok, type sudo mount /dev/sdxY /mnt
[14:36] <eeee> where sdxY is the ubuntu installation's partition
[14:36] <eeee> e.g sda3
[14:36] <Muchoz> wait
[14:36] <Muchoz> It asked me whether they were GPT tables
[14:36] <Muchoz> I typed yes :/
[14:36] <neil> how do I find out what options the kernel is compiled with?
[14:36] <eeee> Muchoz: in gparted?
[14:37] <Muchoz> and now it says: error: botht he primary and backup gpt tables are corrupt
[14:37] <Muchoz> in parted -l
[14:37] <Muchoz> "Try making a fresh table, and using parted's reqcue feature to recover partitions.
[14:37] <eeee> ok
[14:39] <Muchoz> ..?
[14:40] <eeee> Muchoz: try gdisk
[14:40] <eeee> sudo gdisk /dev/sda

[14:41] <Nemin32> Hi!
[14:41] <Muchoz> alright
[14:41] <Limited_Edition> hello every one i have intel wireless 3160 with driver iwlwifi and it random interrupt  and slow signal , i installed last framware and nothing happen
[14:41] <eeee> try "v" command
[14:41] <Muchoz> no problems found
[14:42] <Muchoz> 2.6MiB 5381 free sectors
[14:42] <eeee> does it say found valid GPT ?
[14:42] <Muchoz> before v it said
[14:42] <Nemin32> I have a problem with grub, im trying to install plop, however when im selecting that menu entry, i get only a blinking cursor. Here is a snippet from my grub.cfg: http://paste.debian.net/116696/. Thanks for helping.
[14:42] <Muchoz> partition table scan: GPT: present
[14:43] <eeee> ok
[14:43] <eeee> press "p"
[14:43] <Muchoz> yes
[14:43] <Muchoz> about the same info as gparted
[14:43] <eeee> ok
[14:43] <eeee> press "w"
[14:44] <Muchoz> Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING PARTITIONS!!
[14:44] <eeee> y
[14:44] <Muchoz> Won't this delete my partition?
[14:44] <eeee> it'll write the partition table that p listed
[14:45] <Muchoz> Data won't be lost?
[14:45] <eeee> are you sure it's the partition table you want?
[14:45] <Muchoz> It shows the 700GB and 300GB and other partitions
[14:45] <Muchoz> everything that was there
[14:46] <neil> can anyone tell me if the server version of the kernel has the CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION option set?
[14:46] <Muchoz> eeee, will the data of the Windows partition be lost?
[14:46] <cfhowlett> eeee, you DID backup data - right?
[14:47] <cfhowlett> Muchoz, data should not be lost.  *should not*
[14:47] <eeee> cfhowlett: he entered parted -l, it mentioned corrupt gpt table,
[14:47] <eeee> Muchoz: yeah it's up to you here, if you want try sudo parted -l again
[14:47] <cfhowlett> eeee, I've been watching.
[14:48] <Muchoz> What can perhaps happen?
[14:48] <eeee> and there's a program called fixparts if the problem continues
[14:49] <eeee> Muchoz: press "b"
[14:49] <eeee> it backs up data to file
[14:49] <Muchoz> :D
[14:49] <eeee> just saw that
[14:49] <eeee> :D
[14:49] <Muchoz> alright
[14:49] <Limited_Edition> hello every one i have intel wireless 3160 with driver iwlwifi and it random interrupt  and slow signal , i installed last framware and nothing happen , any tricks to fix it
[14:49] <Muchoz> :d
[14:50] <Muchoz> called very very safe
[14:50] <Muchoz> operation succesfully written
[14:50] <Muchoz> what now
[14:50] <Muchoz> (that was the w command)
[14:50] <eeee> ok, give sudo parted -l another go
[14:50] <Muchoz> the new table will be used at the next reboot
[14:51] <Muchoz> ok
[14:51] <Muchoz> seems to be the warning was about the usb drive lol
[14:52] <Muchoz> the /dev/sdb and not sda
[14:52] <eeee> oh
[14:52] <chili555> Limited_Edition, I'd look at settings in the router and CRDA: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2239042&p=13099927#post13099927
[14:53] <eeee> ok, type mount /dev/sdxY /mnt
[14:53] <eeee> (for the ubuntu installation's partition)
[14:54] <microm> cups will not upgrade, been like that for 3 weeks at least
[14:54] <Muchoz> you mean /dev/sda10 /mnt? (10 is Ubuntu)
[14:54] <microm> always the same error with dpkg
[14:54] <Limited_Edition> chili555, u mean i should change the wireless encryption ?
[14:55] <eeee> Muchoz: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[14:55] <ObrienDave> microm, kind of hard to help you if we don't know what the error is
[14:55] <chili555> Limited_Edition, I think you should try all the things I mention in the post I linked.
[14:55] <Limited_Edition> okay chili555 thank you
[14:55] <Muchoz> eeee, it's mounted to /mnt
[14:55] <eeee> Muchoz: type  "ls /mnt"  , is that the installation ?
[14:55] <microm> invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/cups not found.
[14:56] <microm> dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 100
[14:56] <Muchoz> eeee, probably is yes
[14:57] <^^x^^> hi crazies
[14:57] <eeee> Muchoz: ok, type mount /dev/sdxY /mnt/boot/efi
[14:58] <eeee> for the efi partition
[14:58] <chili555> I'm not crazy. My wife had me tested.
[14:58] <neil> I am trying to use 3TB drives I apparently need the  kernel option CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION set.. is it?
[14:58] <Muchoz> eeee, mount point does not exist
[14:58] <digitsm> Hello again
[14:59] <digitsm> This time I only installed Nvidia proprietary driver 304 and shutdown and suspend function worked
[14:59] <eeee> Muchoz: sudo mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> is efi really worth it....?
[15:00] <digitsm> I guess that shutdown/suspend problem was because of Broadcom STA driver. So I am installing NVidia 331.38 to see whether latest nvidia driver cause a problem or not?
[15:00] <digitsm> ActionParsnip, Hello
[15:01] <digitsm> LD
[15:01] <digitsm> :D
[15:01] <Muchoz> eeee, mounted now
[15:01] <eeee> ok, ls /mnt/boot/efi
[15:01] <eeee> i think windows ate everything up
[15:01] <eeee> see whats there
[15:02] <Muchoz> there still is in /mnt/boot/efi the folder EFI with Boot, Dell, Microsoft and ubuntu in it
[15:02] <Muchoz> and some system information in /mnt/boot/efi
[15:02] <eeee> and in the ubuntu folder, is there grubx64.efi and shimx64.efi ?
[15:02] <Muchoz> yes
[15:02] <eeee> ok
[15:03] <jimn> att.net
[15:03] <Muchoz> Some other site we have open told us to change the path in Windows to that grubx64 thingy, you're probably gonna do the same?
[15:03] <Muchoz> But I'm only following you atm
[15:03] <eeee> Muchoz: you mean the bcd entry? or switch the bootx64.efi files?
[15:04] <Muchoz> it tells us to run this command in Windows:
[15:04] <eeee> like bcdedit {bootmgr} etc. ? or switch the bootx64.efi file
[15:04] <Muchoz> Yes
[15:04] <Muchoz> Exactly
[15:04] <Muchoz> bcdedit one
[15:04] <eeee> it really depends on your laptop
[15:05] <Muchoz> It's a desktop though and there is no bootx64.efi file
[15:05] <Muchoz> wait
[15:05] <eeee> i tried the bcdedit it didn't work, others only switch the files and it worked, i deleted the files, changed the bootmgr entries and it worked,
[15:05] <Muchoz> there is bootx64 in /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Boot
[15:05] <eeee> another guy tried that, but it still changed grub when it booted into windows
[15:06] <Muchoz> Tell me what to do then
[15:07] <eeee> Muchoz: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[15:07] <Muchoz> type that in the terminal?
[15:08] <eeee> yeah
[15:08] <Muchoz> second
[15:10] <Muchoz> alright ee
[15:10] <Muchoz> eeee,
[15:10] <eeee> ok, sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash
[15:11] <Muchoz> alright
[15:12] <eeee> ok sudo efibootmgr -v
[15:12] <LiENUS> sudo grep -r touch fsck e2fs
[15:13] <P3n7u5> hello, What wrong with my package manager
[15:13] <Muchoz> eeee, Fatal: couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables. Try 'modprobe efivars' as root
[15:13] <P3n7u5> if I do : aptitude purge foreman-proxy
[15:14] <P3n7u5> ithe ouput is :
[15:14] <P3n7u5> No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
[15:14] <P3n7u5> but when I do

[15:15] <P3n7u5> si I ca't install the package
[15:15] <P3n7u5> and I cant purge it
[15:15] <neil> I am trying to use 3TB drives I apparently need the  kernel option CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION set.. is it?
[15:15] <P3n7u5> what he problem ??
[15:15] <eeee> Muchoz: mount | grep sysfs
[15:16] <eeee> Muchoz: when you ran the for i command it didn't give any errors right?
[15:16] <Muchoz> no
[15:17] <Muchoz> eeee, sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw, noexec, nosuid, nodev)
[15:17] <eeee> ok, try to reinstall grub
[15:18] <Muchoz> with boot-repair?
[15:19] <eeee> Muchoz: sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed
[15:19] <eeee> wait
[15:19] <eeee> this is 64bit right?
[15:19] <eeee> run uname -m
[15:20] <tado> hey. i have reset my bios to default settings trying to fix a bluetooth issue, and now all i get when i turn the laptop on is 'Check cable connection! PXE-MOF: exiting intel PXE ROM." and then a new black screen with "Operating system not found". I can't seem to fix it.... anyone knows how to fix it?
[15:20] <Muchoz> eeee, it's 64 yes. give me a second
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> tado  iirc, PXE is a remote connection or installation, do you have a normal connection, or wireless?
[15:23] <tado> MonkeyDust: i'm on a laptop with wireless
[15:23] <Muchoz> eeee, I can't seem to install it: grub-install: error /usr/lib/grib.... doesn't exist please specify --target..
[15:23] <smitzer> staffan@staffangolazo:~$ cat bashrc
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> tado  it's your wireless connection that must be repaired, i guess
[15:23] <smitzer> export PATH=${PATH}:$HOME/gsutil
[15:23] <smitzer> export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/android-studio/bin
[15:24] <smitzer> is added to my bashrc but still i cant just do studio.sh everywhere
[15:24] <tado> MonkeyDust: why would my wireless connection have anything to do with ubuntu booting?
[15:24] <MonkeyDust> tado  plug a cable and try again
[15:24] <MonkeyDust> tado  because PXE is over a network
[15:24] <Muchoz> but uname -m says: x86_64
[15:25] <Muchoz> What are you trying to do because my shift is ending :p
[15:25] <eeee> Muchoz: reinstall grub
[15:25] <eeee> try --target /dev/sda
[15:26] <eeee> ah wait
[15:26] <tado> MonkeyDust: it shows me the client mac addr and the guid now, and it's thinking. but again, what does it mean that it's over a network. it's a normal install i had
[15:26] <eeee> target is for the architecture
[15:26] <Muchoz> ok
[15:26] <Muchoz> waiting
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> tado  then try with a cable connection, as the error suggests, to rule that out
[15:29] <tado> MonkeyDust: it still says PXE-E53 no boot filename received. and then again the pxe-m0f exiting like before
[15:29] <eeee> Muchoz: try install-grub --recheck /dev/sda
[15:29] <eeee> sorry grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[15:31] <MonkeyDust> tado  2nd comment, is it useful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1858346
[15:32] <annoymouse> Hey
[15:33] <annoymouse> So I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a USB
[15:33] <annoymouse> I have everything setup, but I just need some instruction on what I should do in the Installer so I don't fuck up my main partition
[15:33] <tado> MonkeyDust: is "connect at power on" a setting in BIOS? can't locate it if it is...
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> annoymouse  start by minding your language
[15:34] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, ^^^^
[15:34] <annoymouse> MonkeyDust: Sorry
[15:34] <cfhowlett> annoymouse, no profanity - not permitted.  stop.
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> tado  at least you know others have had the same issue
[15:34] <cfhowlett> !persistence | annonymouse
[15:34] <cfhowlett> !usb
[15:35] <cfhowlett> annoymouse, pendrivelinux is usually recommended   http://www.pendrivelinux.com/tag/install-ubuntu-to-usb/
[15:35] <tado> MonkeyDust: true that, but if i can't solve it, the problem stays, no matter how many people have it :)
[15:35] <FreezingDroid> So I'm trying to boot a liveusb, at the moment I just see the menu bar and a gray background
[15:35] <MonkeyDust> tado  scroll down: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-distributions-5/pxe-e53-no-boot-file-name-received-756158/
[15:35] <FreezingDroid> my USB stick is no longer loading
[15:35] <FreezingDroid> oh wait
[15:36] <FreezingDroid> the background popped up
[15:36] <smitzer> why doesnt the file viewer show .bashrc?
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> tado  think positive: after you solved it, *you* are the expert
[15:36] <annoymouse> cfhowlett: I have to USBs one with the installer and one to install to
[15:36] <annoymouse> So I don't think I need pendrivelinux
[15:36] <eeee> smitzer: maybe cuz it's a hidden file, try ctrl+h
[15:37] <cfhowlett> annoymouse, OK ...
[15:37] <tado> MonkeyDust: it seems to suggest that the problem arises because it tries to boot from lan instead than from my HDD, but why should it do that, when HDD is higher in boot priority?
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> tado  that's what i said: pxe is over a LAN network
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> tado  so check/change the boot order in your bios
[15:40] <tado> MonkeyDust: but why should it try to boot my OS from LAN? Everything ran smooth until i reset bios to default, so the issue should be in bios' settings. but i can't seem to find anything that would suggest it shouldn't load normally
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> tado  yes, but i don't know about your bios, can't help with that
[15:41] <MarcoPolo> http://sputnikipogrom.com/angryrussians/18855/mh17-month-later-en/
[15:41] <tado> MonkeyDust: I have. now it starts with cd, then ata hdd0 (and a long serial after it), usb hdd, ata hdd2, usb fdd, pci lan atheros boot agent at last. shouldn't it be like this?
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> tado  great, now add your "solution" as a comment on the forum
[15:43] <tado> MonkeyDust: no no :) that was no solution, that was my boot order now. but it doesn't seem to solve anything, it still loads the same message at boot
[15:48] <david38400>  Just connected a Samsung Flat screen tv to my computer and all working fine, but can I set somehow the resolution as the screen image isnt HD quality although the tv is and conneted with dmi cable
[15:48] <tado> anyone has other tips to try and solve my PXE-M0F issue at boot?
[15:48] <annoymouse> How should I figure out which is the right drive to install to?
[15:49] <david38400> any help with screen resolution please
[15:50] <annoymouse> I have /dev/sd[a-b-c]
[15:50] <obama> ?join #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:52] <causative> I'm inserting an audio cd but it seems not to show up in the mount command - what is happening?
[15:52] <annoymouse> Going by the sizes, I think /dev/sda is my internal HD, /dev/sdb is the LiveUSB, and /dev/sdc is the blank USB
[15:52] <causative> is this normal for audio cds?
[15:52] <annoymouse> What do I choose for device for bootloader installation?
[15:53] <cfhowlett> causative, it does happen.  I suggest you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras                 to get the multimedia codecs
[15:53] <causative> cfhowlett, the audio CD shows up in nautilus
[15:53] <causative> but not in the mount command
[15:53] <causative> in nautilus I can open it and see a .wav file
[15:54] <causative> so I think I have the codecs
[15:54] <causative> but how do I access this .wav file from the command line?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> causative: sure, open it with your favorite media player
[15:54] <cfhowlett> causative, confirm your theory: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> causative: aplay filename.wav
[15:54] <causative> I don't want to play it, I want to convert it to mp3
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> causative: mplayer filename.wav
[15:55] <cfhowlett> causative, can't play = can't convert
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> causative: http://www.wikihow.com/Convert-MP3-to-WAV-in-Ubuntu
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> causative: or in CLI http://www.tjeerdoo.com/convert-wav-to-mp3-ubuntu-command-line/
[15:56] <causative> yes I don't have a problem on that end
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> causative: you will need the package that gives the 'lame' binary
[15:56] <annoymouse> I don't want to replace my Mac's bootloader
[15:57] <annoymouse> Why does it even need a special bootloader?
[15:57] <obama> Approaching Diamond Bar Blvd and Golden Springs Dr.
[15:57] <cfhowlett> obama, wrong channel.  play elsewhere please
[15:57] <cemc> hi. I have a 10.04 with dhcp on eth0. I'm getting some DNS servers from the DHCP server which I would like to ignore and use my own. I've inserted dns-nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> in /etc/network/interfaces, which is getting added to resolv.conf, but so are the other DNS servers I get from DHCP
[15:58] <causative> okay it plays
[15:58] <causative> so that confirms I have the codec, now the only question is where is it located on my filesystem?
[15:59] <skulltip> is there a website I can go where people could do some unit testing on my game distribution? Using jmonkey's (java), I created a distributable and want to have people test it out on their own linux partition - hopefully with limited dependencies installed, to see how or if it will run. i'm getting 15k fps which really doesn't mean much, but it's a 3d cube you can move around with a mouse and displays fps, vertices, etc. I'm look
[15:59] <skulltip> ing more for a generic 'is it compatible' rather than anything else?
[15:59] <cfhowlett> skulltip, best place to ask:  ##linux
[16:00] <annoymouse> cfhowlett: Do I need a new partition table?
[16:00] <causative> if I right click on the file and click properties, it says it's at "cdda://sr0" but this doesn't tell me anything, I think
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> cemc: if you use /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head   and add the nameservers to the bottom of the file it will supercede the ones given by DHCP
[16:00] <cfhowlett> annoymouse, no mac experience here.
[16:00] <cfhowlett> !mac
[16:01] <timevirus> yo
[16:02] <anderson> I am using the latest and most to date ubuntu. I use notify-send and it does not work unless I give it a critical level. I have read much and googled and it looks like maybe there is screensaver that is stopping it? I am not sure but I have tried to kill any and all screensavers to see if that would make a differance and it has not.
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> anderson: what is the output of:   cat /etc/issue
[16:02] <anderson> ActionParsnip: That sounds good. One sec.
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> anderson: no need to pastebin, its a single line of output
[16:04] <annoymouse> cfhowlett: It doesn't have anything to do with having a Mac or not. I just am unsure about some of the installer options in Ubuntu 14.04.1
[16:05] <cfhowlett> annoymouse, direct your questions / details to the channel in general.
[16:05] <anderson> ActionParsnip: I thank you. But at this moment I have a tail -f on that file and then try to reproduce the error in many ways, but I can not. There is another machine that gives me the same trouble. I really thank you for your help. I bet this will lead me to figure it out.
[16:06] <anderson> ActionParsnip++
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> anderson: the command just outputs one line, what does it say
[16:06] <anderson> ActionParsnip: I tried and there is nothing in the output.
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> anderson: you dont need tail at all, just run the command I gave and paste the output in the chanel
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> anderson: ok, what is the output of:   lsb_release -c
[16:08] <anderson> Codename:       trusty
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> anderson: ok, cool :)
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> anderson: have you seen any bugs with notify-send ?
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> anderson: if not, run:   ubuntu-bug notify-bin    and report the issue
[16:09] <annoymouse> I selected English > Download updates while installing > Continue > Something else > Continue > /dev/sdc. Now I need to know which device I should select for device for bootloader installation and if I should click New partition table...
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> !away > Ririshi
[16:11] <annoymouse> Okay. I figured out that I should select New partition table.... Is it okay/necessary to install the bootloader onto the same device as Ubuntu?
[16:14] <annoymouse> What's the /swap partition?
[16:15] <bazhang> !swap | annoymouse
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> annoymouse: its like the pagefile in windows, but Linux us smart enough to use a separate partition for it to reduce fragmentatin
[16:16] <annoymouse> bazhang: So basically sacrificing storage space for more "RAM"?
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> *fragmentation
[16:16] <annoymouse> Do I need it?
[16:16] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, how ch RAM do you have?
[16:16] <ObrienDave> *much
[16:16] <annoymouse> 8GB
[16:16] <Akiva-Thinkpad> hey brian lunduke just posted an ignorant review on Ubuntu Unity, where he calls the Dash, "The HUD",
[16:16] <Akiva-Thinkpad> http://www.networkworld.com/article/2466595/opensource-subnet/the-linux-desktop-a-week-review-ubuntu-unity.html
[16:17] <Akiva-Thinkpad> post in the comments to tell him how wrong he is.
[16:17] <cemc> ActionParsnip: no good. I've added the nameserver in head, but the other nameservers from DHCP still get added in resolv.conf
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> annoymouse: depends how much RAM you have and what you use your system for
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> cemc: it will, but the lines you add in the head file will be used first
[16:17] <annoymouse> ActionParsnip: So if I don't want more RAM, I don't need to make a /swap partition?
[16:17] <ObrienDave> Akiva-Thinkpad, who is brian lunduke and why should we care about his opinion?
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> cemc: the head file contains the lines that get added to /etc/resolv.conf to say "don't edit this file"
[16:18] <Akiva-Thinkpad> ObrienDave, he used to be the co host of the linux action show
[16:18] <Akiva-Thinkpad> the largest linux podcast in the word
[16:18] <Akiva-Thinkpad> world*
[16:18] <ObrienDave> whoopie
[16:18] <Akiva-Thinkpad> :)
[16:18] <bazhang> !ot | Akiva-Thinkpad
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> annoymouse: no if you have 32Gb RAM and want to web browse and chat you will never touch swap
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> annoymouse: unless you need hibernate functionality
[16:18] <MiraCZ> hey there
[16:18] <cemc> ActionParsnip: I know that, but I don't want the others in there at all ;) can that be done somehow?
[16:19] <annoymouse> ActionParsnip: Is there any other partitions that can/should be made?
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> cemc: not sure there but if the DNS server you set work then the lines will never be in effect
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> annoymouse: you can make a swap file if you want, it will do the same
[16:19] <annoymouse> I'll pass
[16:19] <MiraCZ> I have got Ubuntu server and I got it when I was trying things what is it capable of and so, now I'd like to clean the server, I believe there are things that I dont need and that makes my server slower, can you guys send me link to some tutorial about cleaning/restoring Ubuntu?
[16:19] <annoymouse> thanks ActionParsnip
[16:19] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, most people like separate / and /home partitions
[16:20] <Nach0z> separate / and /home make it easier to recover from having to reinstall a bricked installation
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> cemc: you could add a command to run after a while to remove the lines from the file, but its purely cosmetic, and considering you won't be poking around in that file in day to day usage, its hardly worth the actual effort
[16:20] <annoymouse> ObrienDave: /home is for all the user data, correct?
[16:20] <cfhowlett> MiraCZ, do you know your installation date?
[16:20] <Nach0z> also makes it easier to share a /home directory between multiple linux installations
[16:20] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, correct
[16:20] <MiraCZ> 1-2 years ago
[16:21] <annoymouse> ObrienDave: Is there any advantage to separating / and /home, or is it just a common thing to do?
 separate / and /home make it easier to recover from having to reinstall a bricked installation
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> annoymouse: it makes reinstalls easier, as well as backups
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> annoymouse: it also keeps user data away from system data.
[16:21] <cfhowlett> MiraCZ, cat /var/log/dpkg*          will show ALL the packages you installed.
[16:22] <MiraCZ> thank you, cfhowlett
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> annoymouse: if you are asking all these questions I suggest you let Ubuntu do it's thing. It is aimed at users of your level of ability
[16:22] <cfhowlett> MiraCZ, happy2help
[16:22] <annoymouse> ActionParsnip: What do you mean "do it's thing"?
[16:23] <MonkeyDust> annoymouse  without you changing anything
[16:23] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, the disadvantage is you have to decide how large to make the / partition. kind of like deciding how many minutes of a cell phone plan to buy
[16:24] <xangua> 10 fit, 20 regular, 50 big, done
[16:24] <annoymouse> Okay. I'm just going to use the Installer. My only question is what should I select for "Device for bootloader installation"?
[16:24] <eeee> annoymouse: leave it as is
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> annoymouse: just let the installer do a default install
[16:25] <annoymouse> ActionParsnip: I can't because I'm not installing to my harddrive, so I need to select the device to install to manually.
[16:25] <annoymouse> eeee: Won't that replace my computer's bootloader though?
[16:25] <eeee> annoymouse: that's the point :D
[16:26] <annoymouse> eeee: I don't want that though
[16:26] <eeee> how are you going to dual boot ?
[16:27] <annoymouse> eeee: I'm not going to dual boot. I'm installing Ubuntu to a flash drive.
[16:27] <eeee> annoymouse: why don't you want that?
[16:27] <eeee> oh
[16:28] <CoolApps> I've recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop (couldn't find the other disc which is more up-to-date), there is an option to upgrade but I just get an error saying "Failed to fetch".
[16:28] <eeee> what does it currently say?
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> !eolupgrade | CoolApps
[16:29] <cfhowlett> CoolApps, 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04> 14.04
[16:29] <xangua> CoolApps: it would be easier and faster to download an up to date suported release
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> CoolApps: I'd use the OS you have to download and burn a Trusty ISO (Ubuntu 14.04). Trusty is LTS and supported til April 2019
[16:29] <cfhowlett> CoolApps, in other words "clean install" is the better option.  use torrents to get 14.04.1
[16:30] <CoolApps> Ok, I have a lot of blank discs hanging around so I might as well use them. :P
[16:30] <cfhowlett> CoolApps, you can also try USB
[16:31] <annoymouse> Is it okay to install the bootloader to the LiveUSB?
[16:31] <cfhowlett> !usb | coolapps
[16:31] <CoolApps> True, I haven't done USB installs for a while now.
[16:31] <lickalott> Hey guys!
[16:32] <lickalott> I don't think it's said enough and I wanted to let you know that all the help that you guys dish out is very much appreciated!  I have only been here with one issue that wasn't resolved within a few hours.
[16:32] <annoymouse> Should I select the device itself to install to, or a partition on the device?
[16:32] <ikonia> annoymouse: you don't install the liveusb
[16:32] <ikonia> annoymouse: the liveusb already boots, hence why it's a liveusb
[16:33] <CoolApps> Any idea how big is the download?
[16:33] <asarch> I have a successfully-configured shared across my LAN HP F4280 Deskjet printer in a Slackware-based old PC. When I use another Slackware-based client I can print the test page, however, when I use the latest Ubuntu-based laptop to print the test page, I only get the message on the page: "#PDF-BANNER Template default-testpage.pdf Show printer-name printer-info...", why?
[16:33] <annoymouse> ikonia: I'm installing from the LiveUSB to another USB (to make a permanent LiveUSB)
[16:33] <annoymouse> CoolApps: 1.1GB afaik
[16:34] <CoolApps> That should be enough.
[16:34] <CoolApps> Thanks.
[16:34] <logicalguy> hi, I'm trying to install nodejs from the chris-lea ppa and I get this message: nodejs : Conflicts: npm but 1.3.10~dfsg-1 is to be installed.
[16:34] <annoymouse> So is it the device itself, or a partition on that device?
[16:35] <ikonia> lordjancso: packages conflict
[16:35] <lordjancso> ikonia sorry?
[16:35] <ikonia> lordjancso: sorry, meant logicalguy
[16:35] <k1l> logicalguy: do you have PPAs active that interfer with this package?
[16:35] <lordjancso> ohh ok, np
[16:35] <logicalguy> The following actions will resolve these dependencies:  Keep the following packages at their current version:  1) npm [Not Installed]
[16:36] <logicalguy> k1l, just the official repos and the chris-lea ppa
[16:36] <asarch> The full text message is: "#PDF-BANNER Template default-testpage.pdf Show printer-name printer-info printer-location printer-make-and-model printer-driver-name printer-driver-version pape-size imageable-area job-id options time-at-creation time-at-processing"
[16:37] <Bazylot> hello, i am looking for help about hotkeys in ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Can anyone help me ?
[16:38] <logicalguy> ikonia, k1l, I don't know if i should accept the proposed solution
[16:38] <Sevet> does anyone know why pbuilder runs with DIST=trusty (correct) but DISTRIBUTION=saucy?
[16:38] <annoymouse> Getting a "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." error when I try to install
[16:38] <ikonia> logicalguy depends,
[16:38] <logicalguy> of course
[16:38] <ikonia> logicalguy: if you're not sure I'd question why you are using a PPA
[16:39] <logicalguy> because on this page https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-an-ubuntu-14-04-server
[16:39] <logicalguy> it says the ppa has more recent version
[16:39] <ikonia> logicalguy: that doesn't mean you need to use that
[16:39] <hylian> is there a weather app for unity anymore? or even just a lens?
[16:39] <ikonia> logicalguy: that means you've chosen to use that
[16:39] <annoymouse> Does no one here know how to make a full LiveUSB?
[16:39] <ThreadKiLL> Hi
[16:39] <ikonia> annoymouse: what's your actual problem ?
[16:40] <logicalguy> ikonia, no, but what's the harm in wanting the latest if it is available?
[16:40] <annoymouse> ikonia: "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu."
[16:40] <annoymouse> Why is that happening?
[16:40] <ikonia> logicalguy: because it's an unsupported package that appears to cause conflict when people blindly install it for no reason
[16:40] <ikonia> annoymouse: that means you've not defined a "/" partition on the target install
[16:40] <kostkon> hylian, indicator-weather or my-weather-indicator two good ones
[16:40] <ThreadKiLL> what's wrong on my shell when i do sudo apt-get update it says Building dependency tree... Done & E: Unable to locate package wget
[16:40] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, you don't make a "LiveUSB", you install the system to an external USB drive
[16:41] <annoymouse> ikonia: How can I define a / partition?
[16:41] <ikonia> annoymouse: you do it in the partition section of the install
[16:41] <hylian> quit
[16:41] <ThreadKiLL> anyone help? why i cant install or modify things on my ubntu?
[16:41] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: what's the problem
[16:42] <annoymouse> ikonia: I'm at that step, but there's no option to do that
[16:42] <ThreadKiLL> ikonia i cannot install anything when i do sudo apt-get install wget it says E: Unable to locate package wget
[16:42] <ikonia> annoymouse: there is
[16:42] <ikonia> annoymouse: you have to have a / file system
[16:42] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, select "something else"
[16:42] <annoymouse> I did
[16:42] <ikonia> annoymouse: you've not
[16:43] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: please show me (in a pastebin) the output of "sudo apt-get update"
[16:43] <annoymouse> I'm at the step where it asks you to choose which partition to install to
[16:43] <ikonia> annoymouse: and where are you selecting ?
[16:43] <annoymouse> ikonia: /dev/sdc
[16:43] <ThreadKiLL> ikonia it only says Reading package lists... Done
[16:43] <ThreadKiLL> nothing else
[16:43] <ikonia> annoymouse: that's not a partition
[16:43] <kostkon> ThreadKiLL, apt-cache policy wget
[16:43] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: please pastebin the exact output as request
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> !info wget
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> ThreadKiLL: if you run:   sudo apt-get update    is it smooth?
[16:44] <annoymouse> ikonia: So I clicked New partition scheme, and selected the partition it created, but I still get that error
[16:44] <ThreadKiLL> ikonia thats exactly what the output.
[16:44] <ikonia> annoymouse: what partition are you putting it on
[16:44] <ThreadKiLL> that one only.
[16:44] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: no it's not
[16:44] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: please pastebin the EXACT output
[16:44] <annoymouse> ikonia: "free space"
[16:44] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: the full exact output
[16:44] <ikonia> annoymouse: that's not a partition
[16:44] <ikonia> annoymouse: that's free space
[16:45] <ThreadKiLL> root@ubnt:~ sudo apt-get update
[16:45] <ThreadKiLL> Reading package lists... Done
[16:45] <ThreadKiLL> root@ubnt:~
[16:45] <ThreadKiLL> see
[16:45] <ThreadKiLL> :)
[16:45] <annoymouse> So how can I create a partition out of free space from that window?
[16:46] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: you shouldn't be root
[16:46] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: the root user is not enabled
[16:46] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: please show me the output of "uname -a"
[16:46] <Bazylot> ikonia, hi i am total newbie and looking for someone who can explain me some basics...
[16:47] <ikonia> Bazylot: just ask your questions and people will help if they can
[16:47] <ObrienDave> Bazylot, how can we help you?
[16:47] <ThreadKiLL> mips64 GNU/Linux
[16:47] <Bazylot> ikonia, irc is also new thing for me

[16:48] <ThreadKiLL> kostkon ,instalation issue bro
[16:48] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: what hardware is this on
[16:48] <annoymouse> Is there a "force quit" option?
[16:48] <kostkon> ThreadKiLL, ?
[16:48] <kostkon> ThreadKiLL, i meant what's the output of that cmd
[16:48] <annoymouse> I have an unresponsive program

[16:49] <ThreadKiLL> kostkon , it's EdgeOS
[16:49] <Bazylot> ObrienDave, hi i have problem with media hotkeys in my ubuntu... i can set it in system configuration but it's not workign
[16:49] <ikonia> ThreadKiLL: so it's not ubuntu then

[16:51] <ThreadKiLL> ikonia owkie
[16:51] <SCHAAP137> mips, cool
[16:51] <asarch> Should I change all my Ubuntu-based installations for Slackware?
[16:51] <ikonia> asarch: up to you, they are your machines
[16:53] <asarch> That's the main problem, those are not my machines
[16:53] <ikonia> asarch: then it's not our decision
[16:53] <ikonia> talk to the decision maker,
[16:54] <annoymouse> Okay I'm back
[16:54] <asarch> Of course I will!
[16:54] <annoymouse> I'm creating my main partition
[16:55] <annoymouse> So Primary, Beginning of this space, Ext4..., and no Mount point?
[16:55] <eeee> annoymouse: mount point "/"
[16:55] <ikonia> annoymouse: partition it as you see fit
[16:56] <annoymouse> ikonia: I just need to know how to make the necessary partitions
[16:56] <annoymouse> Like the ones required for install
[16:56] <annoymouse> Is that only /?
[16:56] <eeee> yeah
[16:56] <ikonia> !install | annoymouse
[16:56] <ikonia> annoymouse: read the install guide of what is needed and how
[16:56] <eeee> but shouldn't there be a bios 1M partition at the beginning, 1024 or something
[16:56] <eeee> check ikonia 's link
[16:58] <MiraCZ> May I ask how do I move content of one folder to another folder via command?
[16:58] <Bazylot> how to determine am i using gnome-session or gnomes-shell or whatever eles ?
[16:59] <Bazylot> MiraCZ, type in terminal "cp soruce_file destination_path"
[16:59] <expunge> Bazylot: pgrep -l compiz && echo "You're using Unity" || echo "You're not using Unity"
[16:59] <MiraCZ> thank you, Bazylot
[17:00] <eeee> MiraCZ: mv <folder> /path/to/destination
[17:00] <antimist> Hello, again....
[17:00] <Kira9204> eeee: "cp" copies, "mv" moves and/or renames
[17:00] <eeee> MiraCZ: cp will copy, mv will move
[17:00] <eeee> MiraCZ> May I ask how do I move content
[17:00] <MiraCZ> thank you
[17:00] <eeee> Kira9204: ^^
[17:00] <antimist> so, I got trouble with my touchpad
[17:01] <expunge> MiraCZ: find dir/ -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -exec mv -n {} other/dir/ \; rmdir dir
[17:01] <antimist> it stops working after I boot into my user account
[17:01] <Kira9204> eeee: mv <source> <destination>
[17:01] <antimist> it works in the user accounts page though
[17:01] <Bazylot> expunge, thanks and how to determine xorg version ?
[17:02] <_nedR> Hello... My system freezes and stutters when copying data to and from usb drives and sometimes usb harddisks.. why does this happen?
[17:02] <MiraCZ> eeee: I got this error http://pastebin.com/GMwZrBnt
[17:02] <Kira9204> eeee: it works the same for renaming, mv <oldname> <newname>
[17:02] <antimist> okay too much traffic
[17:02] <expunge> Bazylot: X -version; dpkg -l | grep -i xorg
[17:03] <Guest84259> Two stupid questions ... what is sr0?  During boot, I see errors on sr0.  Second question ... I tried to do a normal boot, but saw error in line 14 of fstab.  How do I look at it so as to repair it?
[17:03] <eeee> Kira9204: i know
[17:03] <kull> Trying to run Aptana Standalone version but I get this error....  Could not display "AptanaStudio 3" There is no spplication installed for executable files....
[17:04] <kull> BTW the said file is on a NTFS formatted partition
[17:04] <_nedR> Also sometimes busy applications like firefox causes system to freeze up... am no expert but this maybe acceptable behaviour for a server os but not for a modern desktop operating system..
[17:04] <Bazylot> expunge, thx
[17:04] <eeee> MiraCZ: you need to use cp -r (for recursiveness)
[17:04] <expunge> Guest84259: sr0 is probably your CD drive
[17:05] <annoymouse> How big does the / partition need to be if I'm going to be using a /home partition (and my USB is 8GB)?
[17:05] <expunge> Guest84259: you can probably ignore the errors until there's an actual problem
[17:05] <eeee> MiraCZ: cp -r /home/bod/ftbg/ /home/bod/McMyAdmin/Minecraft/
[17:05] <expunge> Guest84259: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[17:05] <MiraCZ> thank you eeee, I love you :)
[17:05] <eeee> lol, np
[17:05] <expunge> MiraCZ: use the find command I gave if you want to be extra careful, and get hidden directories, too
[17:06] <antimist> yo
[17:06] <antimist> I still need help
[17:06] <MiraCZ> expunge: thank you too, but I guess there are no hidden directories in minecraft server :)
[17:06] <antimist> and I can't figure out what to do
[17:06] <antimist> with my touchpad
[17:06] <antimist> >_>
[17:06] <expunge> MiraCZ: wouldn't surprise me, Java™ cross platform nonsense that it is =)
[17:06] <ObrienDave> !patience | antimist
[17:07] <MiraCZ> eeee: There is a problem, it copies the folder also, so it's minecraft/ftbg
[17:07] <antimist> second time it happens, and I apologize
[17:07] <MiraCZ> but I want content of ftbg in minecraft
[17:07] <Guest84259> expunge: I have a problem ... I see fstab.  If I am not mistaken, it talks of problem on line 14.  fstab ends on line 12
[17:07] <expunge> MiraCZ: rsync -av ~/ftbg/ ~/McMyAdmin/Minecraft/
[17:07] <annoymouse> What's the minimum size for my / partition?
[17:07] <MiraCZ> I want minecraft/*content* instead of minecraft/ftbg/*contnet*
[17:07] <someguy> Yo. I'm having trouble autostarting a GUI program that requires sudo. Can anyone help me? (http://askubuntu.com/questions/514209/auto-starting-a-gui-application-that-requires-sudo)
[17:07] <expunge> annoymouse: 5GB?
[17:08] <antimist> someguy: use gksu
[17:08] <MonkeyDust> annoymouse  how big is your HDD?
[17:08] <annoymouse> MonkeyDust: 8GB
[17:08] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, you don't want to go that small
[17:08] <someguy> How so antimist?
[17:08] <expunge> annoymouse: that's enough
[17:08] <MonkeyDust> annoymouse  that's a USB stick?
[17:08] <RobbieCrash> annoymouse what data are you storing not on your root partitiion? Where are /home /var and /usr?
[17:08] <annoymouse> MonkeyDust: Yes. My real HDD is 750GB
[17:09] <expunge> academic... 5GB is enough, and he has 8
[17:09] <annoymouse> RobbieCrash: I was planning on only having / and /home
[17:09] <annoymouse> expunge: Do I really need that much?
[17:09] <RobbieCrash> storing /home on an 8GB stick is dicey.
[17:09] <MonkeyDust> annoymouse  ok, guess i missed somethoing, what are you planning to do?
[17:09] <expunge> annoymouse: 5? Probably near that, yes
[17:09] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, why are you worrying about partitions for a 8GB USB stick???
[17:09] <eeee> MiraCZ: cp -r /home/bod/ftbg/* /home/bod/McMyAdmin/Minecraft/
[17:09] <annoymouse> MonkeyDust: I'm installing Ubuntu onto a 8GB USB
[17:09] <expunge> annoymouse: the less you install, the less you need, LXDE takes less space than Unity/GNOME
[17:09] <MiraCZ> thank you, eeee, now I trully love you :)
[17:09] <annoymouse> ObrienDave: People have been telling me to make partitions! lol
[17:10] <timevirus> lol
[17:10] <eeee> MiraCZ: then type rm -r /home/bod/McMyAdmin/Minecraft/ftbg   (to remove the folder)
[17:10] <MiraCZ> I want to keep it, just in case :)
[17:10] <expunge> annoymouse: it's nice to have / and swap, the rest are very optional
[17:10] <eeee> MiraCZ: np :)
[17:10] <RobbieCrash> annoymouse I've got a few linux server installs on 6GB partitions, but all the big directories are on hdd. Like /var and /home.
[17:10] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, because we thought you were installing to a USB DRIVE
[17:10] <expunge> MiraCZ: rmdir is safer, it removes only empty directories
[17:10] <annoymouse> ObrienDave: I though I said it was a stick, but sorry if I didnt
[17:10] <expunge> and rsync can be easily resumed, whereas cp cannot be
[17:10] <expunge> annoymouse: doesn't matter if it's a stick
[17:10] <annoymouse> ObrienDave: So just / partition?
[17:10] <expunge> storage is storage
[17:11] <annoymouse> But it's smaller
[17:11] <MonkeyDust> annoymouse  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#Making_partitions
[17:11] <expunge> annoymouse: just / is fine, but swap can be very useful
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> RobbieCrash: same, as well as /tmp. Works well
[17:11] <expunge> swap can be in a file, however
[17:11] <annoymouse> expunge: I have 8GB of RAM, I doubt I'll need /swap
[17:11] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, just install it, sheesh
[17:11] <expunge> annoymouse: well, it factors into suspend
[17:12] <expunge> and it's useful as expendable partition space, but perhaps not in your specific situation
[17:12] <antimist_1> okay so repeating my problem
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> annoymouse  first time you uwqe ubuntu? if yes, don't make it so hard for yourself
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> use*
[17:12] <RobbieCrash> annoymouse is this a server or a desktop install?
[17:12] <antimist> My touchpad on my Dell Laptop N5030
[17:13] <antimist> doesn't work when I login
[17:13] <antimist> to my user account
[17:13] <expunge> antimist: does it ever work?
[17:13] <ObrienDave> annoymouse, you DON'T need partitions on a 8GB stick, jeez louise
[17:13] <expunge> RobbieCrash: doesn't matter
[17:13] <expunge> you don't need more than one on any storage medium
[17:13] <antimist> expunge: used to before today
[17:14]  * ObrienDave means separate
[17:14] <RobbieCrash> expunge I get that, I'm thinking about usage patterns. If it's a server install, it's less likely that you're going to load up your home dir and kill writes to /
[17:14] <expunge> antimist: in this install?
[17:14] <antimist> expunge: yup, used to work but all of a sudden it stopped
[17:15] <antimist> I can still use an external mouse though
[17:15] <expunge> RobbieCrash: there's no difference
[17:15] <someguy> Can anyone help me autostarting a GUI program that requires sudo? More info here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/514209/auto-starting-a-gui-application-that-requires-sudo
[17:15] <expunge> antimist: does it show up in xinput --list?
[17:15] <expunge> someone: gksu?
[17:15] <RobbieCrash> So, less of a need to partition things. But on a desktop install, I'd avoid keeping /home and /var on an 8GB stick as I'm way more likely to save stuff to my home dir permanently.
[17:15] <antimist> checking now
[17:16] <RobbieCrash> expunge there's no difference between desktop and server usage patterns?
[17:16] <Bazylot> i have an issue: i assign hotkey (XF86AudioMute, exactly)  in System preferences but it's not working can someone help me ?
[17:16] <antimist> expunge: it does
[17:16] <expunge> RobbieCrash: not when it comes to partitions
[17:17] <antimist> it comes up as Alps Dualpoint Touchpad
[17:17] <expunge> antimist: so what'd you do before / today that changed something?
[17:17] <eeee> someguy: add it to /etc/sudoers & then put it in ~./profile as "gksu <program>"
[17:18] <MonkeyDust> beginners always want to do the hardest and most complex things
[17:18] <expunge> someone: you only need to add it to /etc/sudoers if you don't want to type in the password
[17:18] <eeee> someguy: sudo visudo then add this <username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: <program name>
[17:19] <someguy> eeee, I've already added it to the sudoers, I'll now add it to the profile thingie
[17:19] <anmisto> but it was working fine until last night, and suddenly it stopped
[17:19] <anmisto> but it was working fine until last night, and suddenly it stopped
[17:19] <expunge> anmisto: what'd you do last night?
[17:19] <eeee> someguy: ok sorry typo, it's ~/.profile
[17:19] <someguy> eeee,  Ah wait, I didn't actually use that, I used <username> ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/program
[17:20] <antimist_1> hmm, I was just surfing the internet when it happened
[17:20] <RobbieCrash> antimist_1 auto updates turned on?
[17:20] <eeee> someguy: that works too
[17:20] <someguy> eeee, ok good, I'll try to add it to the ~/.profile now
[17:20] <antimist_1> RobbieCrash: Not entirely sure on that one, it's sort of a new install
[17:21] <antimist_1> is there a way I can check?
[17:21] <RobbieCrash> antimist_1 you said it doesn't work when you log in to your user account. Does it work at the login screen?
[17:21] <antimist_1> RobbieCrash: Yes
[17:21] <RobbieCrash> Does it work under a different user account?
[17:22] <antimist_1> Also, something which also happens is that my Guest Account doesn't load up, it just hangs, wonder if that is related
[17:22] <antimist_1> that is when I try to login to the guest session
[17:23] <expunge> antimist: dpkg -l | grep -i synaptics
[17:23] <digitsm> Hello! I Installed my nvidia driver using the default nvidia 331.38 proprietary driver and shutdown/suspend works as expected
[17:24] <kull> Can't run Aptana Studio !! I get this error....  Could not display "AptanaStudio 3" There is no spplication installed for executable files....
[17:24] <kull> Help
[17:24] <antimist> expunge: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.7.4-0ubuntu1
[17:24] <digitsm> By installing Broadcom STA for internal wifi card of my laptop will break many things: 1- no shutdown 2- no suspend 3- no recognition of wifi card
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> !find aptana
[17:24] <digitsm> Any idea how to make my laptop wifi to work?
[17:24] <_joey> how do I get 64 bit support on 32 bit system?
[17:24] <xsoultribex> seem  my updater is down
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> kull  what's aptana studio?
[17:24] <RobbieCrash> _joey you don't
[17:24] <_joey> What libraries do I need to install to get 64 compatability?
[17:24] <CoolApps> I have tried booting Ubuntu on my flash drive but after the purple screen with a keyboard icon and a person below, I get a black screen with a red block on top.
[17:25] <ObrienDave> _joey, seriously?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> _joey: you can't, its not possible
[17:25] <antimist> expunge: i386 Synaptics Touchpad Driver for X.Org Server
[17:25] <Flerb_> Does anyone know if it's possible to have a command run and the output displayed every time a user successfully logs in?
[17:25] <bazhang> MonkeyDust, similar to dreamweaver
[17:25] <RobbieCrash> _joey if your system is 32 bit you can only get 54bit support by reinstalling a 64bit version of Ubuntu
[17:25] <RobbieCrash> *64
[17:25] <_joey> ActionParsnip: it's possible to get 32 compatability support on 64 bit systems
[17:25] <expunge> _joey: grep -i ' lm' /proc/cpuinfo
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> _3nids_: yes because 32 is fewer than 64
[17:25] <RobbieCrash> _joey you can get 32 on 64, not 64 on 32
[17:25] <_joey> okay
[17:26]  * ObrienDave facepalms
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> _joey: think about it
[17:26] <digitsm> P.S. During boot I read from terminal that xubuntu tried to run b43 driver (an opensource wifi driver which worked in the past on my laptop) but it couldn't
[17:26] <CoolApps> LOL
[17:26] <digitsm> Any idea?
[17:26] <_joey> RobbieCrash: it's proprietry java installer , that afaik, requires 64 bit :(
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> _joey: you have a kernel which can understand 32bits (or fewer) of instruction
[17:26] <someguy> eeee, I only need to add "gksu /path/to/program" right? No if's, no nothing?
[17:26] <_joey> SPSS that is
[17:26] <kull> MonkeyDust: www.aptana.com    I am trying to do this http://askubuntu.com/questions/324129/how-to-install-aptana but I cant even make the executable to start
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> _joey: so how will it understand 64bit?
[17:27] <eeee> someguy: if you just want to run that command unconditionally, yes
[17:27] <antimist> someguy: why don't you just sudo apt-get install gksu
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> _joey: a 64bit kernel can be coded to understand 32bit operations but not the other way around
[17:27] <antimist> oh wait
[17:27] <antimist> forget what I said
[17:27] <CoolApps> Flashing underscore... ...and now a red block.
[17:28] <antimist> Sooo, anyway
[17:28] <eeee> Flerb_: logs in to his shell ?
[17:28] <antimist> still nothing, perhaps should I try repairing the dpkg packages?
[17:28] <CoolApps> I think it's partially corrupted, I need to check. :/
[17:29] <someguy> eeee, well, you did accomplish the task, it opens the GUI at startup
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> someguy: if you are using trusty you will need to install gksudo manually, its not in a default install as sudo has been made friendly with polkit :)
[17:29] <someguy> eeee, However, the monitor is black. lol
[17:29] <Flerb_> eeee, yah
[17:29] <_joey> is there any way to upgrade to 64 bit?
[17:29] <CoolApps> #RedBlockOfDeath
[17:29] <_joey> there's so much shit on my system
[17:29] <someguy> How the hell do I fix this now? lol
[17:30] <MonkeyDust> _joey  mind your language
[17:30] <_joey> re-installing and configuring will take forever
[17:30] <eeee> Flerb_: you can add the command to his .bash_profile , or .bashrc , if you only want the output displayed you can do <command> 2> /dev/null (that won't show any errors)
[17:30] <ObrienDave> _joey, is your CPU 64bit?
[17:30] <antimist> sigh, back to doing things. Thanks a lot for the help anyway, wonder if I can actually get it fixed
[17:30] <_joey> ObrienDave: afaik it is
[17:30] <someguy> There's the GUI that I wanted, but all around it it's black
[17:30] <someguy> and the mouse thingie is a cross
[17:30] <_joey> Duo Core or something
[17:30] <someguy> I can't close it, I can't do anything, because I don't know the login details without having access to the desktop!
[17:31] <ObrienDave> _joey, paste "uname -a" here
[17:31] <eeee> someguy: ctrl+alt+f1 gives you a console
[17:31] <expunge> someguy: sounds like no window manager has started
[17:31] <eeee> someguy: what are you trying to accomplish?
[17:31] <someguy> baah, seems like I'll fucking need to format this
[17:31] <someguy> great.
[17:32] <_joey> From cpuinfo : model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E8400  @ 3.00GHz
[17:32] <Flerb_> I can add bash commands to /etc/bash.bashrc
[17:32] <someguy> expunge, know how to fix that?
[17:32] <eeee> someguy: 1) mind the language, 2) i dont think you would need to
[17:32] <OerHeks> someguy, please watch your language, keep this channel family friendly, thanks
[17:32] <RobbieCrash> someguy the shell login is the same as the desktop login
[17:32] <Flerb_> Like echo etc but how can I get it to run?
[17:32] <expunge> _joey: that's a 64-bit processor, you should use amd64 Ubuntu
[17:33] <someguy> Ok, so I now need to edit out what I just added
[17:33] <expunge> someguy: could be any number of causes
[17:33] <someguy> and then restart
[17:33] <someguy> so I need to open ~./profile
[17:33] <someguy> How do I open that without window manager?
[17:33] <eeee> someguy: i told you ctrl+alt+f1
[17:34] <someguy> I mean, I can't open it with gedit, can I?
[17:34] <someguy> eeee, I'm already there
[17:34] <someguy> I mean, how do I open the thingie in the console?
[17:34] <eeee> someguy: nano ~/.profile
[17:34] <someguy> hum, k
[17:34] <eeee> edit, ctrl+o, ctrl+x
[17:35] <joway> Is there a way to filter all the login / logouts and just see what people are typing? (I'm on Pidgin if that helps.)
[17:35] <ObrienDave> _joey, paste the output of "uname -a" here
[17:35] <expunge> joway: yes, ask #pidgin
[17:35] <Flerb_> eeee, so if I had a command, say, cowsay moo added to that file, it would run on connection?
[17:36] <joway> thanks expunge, I'll head over there.
[17:36] <someguy> Ok, so it's restarting
[17:36] <someguy> let's see if it fixed that
[17:36] <eeee> Flerb_: it would run whenever someone logs in
[17:36] <Flerb_> Ok
[17:37] <eeee> Flerb_: try sudo login <user> to test it, or login and logout
[17:37] <henry_> vel
[17:37] <eeee> *logout and login
[17:37] <someguy> Ok, so my PC is working again
[17:37] <Flerb_> oh thanks
[17:37] <someguy> Still have the initial problem though, lol
[17:37] <ObrienDave> someguy, one step at a time ;P
[17:37] <_joey> Okay! not worth the hassle! I will ask the department for the older version that offers 32 bit
[17:37] <eeee> someguy: we still don't know what you're trying to accomplish
[17:38] <someguy> eeee, I want to auto-start a VPN client
[17:38] <expunge> _joey: what?
[17:38] <someguy> eeee, and that VPN client is a GUI that needs sudo
[17:38] <someguy> eeee, I've already edited the sudoers file
[17:39] <someguy> eeee, and added the command "sudo /path/to/vpn" in the autostart up list, but it's still not working
[17:39] <CoolApps> There is no MD5 hash for Ubuntu 14.04.1?
[17:39] <ac> someguy: echo <PASSWORD> | /path/to/vpn
[17:39] <ObrienDave> CoolApps, hang on a sec
[17:39] <someguy> ac, where should I add that?
[17:40] <ac> in a startup file in etc i ll tell you the file name wait
[17:40] <ObrienDave> CoolApps, http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/MD5SUMS
[17:41] <CoolApps> Ah, that helps a lot.
[17:41] <someguy> ac, you mean rc.local?
[17:42] <ac> someguy: yea
[17:42] <someguy> ac, as far as I know, that file doesn't allow for GUI programs?
[17:42] <ac> thats the one I forgot :(
[17:42] <CoolApps> Looks like the ISO file isn't corrupted.
[17:42] <Sam_Sully> How do I open scripts as executables?
[17:42] <ac> someguy: you can enter any command there right?!
[17:42] <user____1> Hey everyone, I'm having trouble setting my locale in Ubuntu 14.04.
[17:43] <someguy> ac, I guess.. I'll try, but people told me it would not work with GUI in ubuntuforums.. Anyway, the <password> after "echo" is my acc password, right?
[17:43] <khildin> Sam_Sully, chmod +x <script.sh> then sudo ./script.sh
[17:44] <Dramors> Why would he sudo some random script?
[17:44] <someguy> something weird is happening
[17:44] <Dramors> Unless you know exactly what the script does and you're required to run it as root, don't use sudo
[17:44] <khildin> He should be carefull if he doesn't know what the script does... sure...
[17:45] <ac> someguy: yes the password that you enter for sudo command, for running a GUI program you should set variable called "DISPLAY" default display is :0.0 I think you can put this command in script : export DISPLAY=:0.0
[17:45] <someguy> ac, so I just add that command in the rc.local file?
[17:46] <someguy> ac, as a stand-alone line?
[17:46] <expunge> you can just specify it inline if it's a one-liner: DISPLAY=:0 foo
[17:46] <jorrit> C
[17:46] <expunge> ps aux | grep X will give you the precise number/s
[17:47] <ac> someguy: its better you write an script that has export command + vpn gui runner  and put "sh /path/to/script" in that rc.local
[17:47] <someguy> expunge, are you talking to me?
[17:47] <someguy> hum
[17:47] <expunge> someguy: yup
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> someguy: is there a possibility to run a script when the vpn is created?
[17:48] <someguy> expunge, You're saying I should add the command  "echo <PASSWORD> | /path/to/vpn | DISPLAY=:0" to the rc.local?
[17:48] <someguy> ActionParsnip, I've no clue whatsoever
[17:48] <someguy> ActionParsnip, what do you mean "when the vpn is created"?
[17:49] <ac> someguy: you can do that but the last "|" isnt a syntax error??
[17:49] <someguy> ac, probably?
[17:50] <ac> someguy: As I know you should set the display first...
[17:50] <ac> but I'm not sure about
[17:50] <someguy> ac, should I just add it in line then? like this: " DISPLAY=:0 echo <PASSWORD> | /path/to/vpn "
[17:50] <someguy> hum ok
[17:50] <ac> "|" this sign
[17:50] <Sp00n_> s
[17:51] <Sp00n_> test irc
[17:51] <ac> someguy: the correct one is this i think: "export DISPLAY=:0.0 ; echo <PASSWORD> | /path/vpn"
[17:51] <bprompt> Sp00n_:    success :P
[17:51] <someguy> ac, Ok, i'm gonan try that right now
[17:52] <ac> someguy: *You ve forgotten the semicolon
[17:52] <someguy> let's see what I break this time :D
[17:52] <ac> Lets think it will work :D
[17:53] <someguy> I should've backed up lol
[17:53] <ThermonuclearCat> test
[17:54] <someguy> ac, good news --> didn't break the system.. bad news ---> no autostart up
[17:55] <DBoyz> hi. after installing Intel graphics installer on my computer, I am stuck at boot screen after logins
[17:55] <ac> :)) someguy: Are you sure that rc.local runs every time you boot?
[17:55] <DBoyz> how do I uninstall Intel graphics?
[17:55] <ac> DBoyz: I think you changed X server
[17:55] <ac> DBoyz: I think you changed X server's config file
[17:55] <CoolApps> Still got the red block, the ISO didn't seen corrupted.
[17:56] <someguy> ac, I think so.. The initial answer to this problem on ubuntuforums was to add it to rc.local. However, after I told them it's a GUI program, they gave up on that
[17:56] <DBoyz> ac: I have no idea. how do I fix this?
[17:56] <ac> DBoyz: Have a backup?
[17:56] <gfsfdsfdsfsdf> hello,so i installed gnome because i didnt liked unity...but everytime i boot up i have to choose either gnome or unity to be my de...before the format(yes i erased myhdd) when i installed gnome it was all ok ..i mean it was my default de and everytime i booted up it was starting with gnome login screen and not unity....so how can i change this???i edited the lightdm file to start with gnome-shell but that didnt helped...Help! plzz
[17:56] <DBoyz> as in?
[17:56] <ac> someguy: Is rc.local working?
[17:57] <CoolApps> Looks like I won't be able to use the latest version of Ubuntu on my desktop. :/
[17:57] <ac> DBoyz: like a xorg.conf.bak file or sth in /etc/X11
[17:57] <DBoyz> at: what backup?
[17:57] <someguy> ac, what you mean? if the file is opened?
[17:58] <ac> someguy: I mean is it really doing the command you wrote?
[17:58] <DBoyz> ac: *
[17:58] <DBoyz> ac: uh no
[17:58] <someguy> ac, How am I supposed to know? It's not doing what I pretended, but maybe what we wrote is wrong
[17:59] <DBoyz> it just happened all of a sudden
[17:59] <rrman> someguy: you can try with a simple command like "echo 123>/home/<USERNAME>/123"
[18:00] <someguy> rrman, I don't understand why I can't just add the command "sudo /path" to the autostart thingie
[18:00] <rrman> DBoyz: The problem is actually the config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf i ll take a look if there is any way to correct it
[18:00] <someguy> rrman,  since it's already been added to the sudoers
[18:01] <rrman> someguy: what is added to sudoers?
[18:01] <CoolApps> Image of this odd screen: http://i.imgur.com/nPYvjCP.jpg
[18:01] <MonkeyDust> CoolApps  i wasnt able to run 14.04 either, online research showed out, it was a fan handling problem in 14.04, so i returned to 12.04 and run 14.04 as a virtual machine
[18:01] <eeee> someguy: did you add the command after "exit 0" in rc.local?
[18:01] <DBoyz> rrman: okay. will renaming the file help?
[18:01] <someguy> rrman, the VPN client
[18:01] <rrman> eeee: good point
[18:01] <someguy> eeee, no, I added before
[18:01] <kristenbb> can I please get some help to install ubuntu with a nvidia card ? it's the third install that i'm doing and i keep getting a black screen or an error message before the login screen comes in.
[18:01] <rrman> someguy: your command in rc.local should return exit status add a & at end
[18:01] <someguy> eeee, I mean, line X: command I added, line X+1 exit 0
[18:02] <rrman> someguy: what the ?! before??? it ends every thing!!!!!!!!!!
[18:02] <CoolApps> That's an unfortunate.
[18:02] <someguy> lol CoolApps
[18:02] <someguy> loled
[18:02] <rrman> DBoyz: i m looking for it
[18:03] <DBoyz> rrman: okay thanks
[18:03] <someguy> kristenbb, what I would do: unplug the nvidia thingie and plug it after installing
[18:03] <OerHeks> kristenbb, what nvidia card? is it dual gpu?
[18:03] <someguy> kristenbb, but I'm a complet moron, so don't do that
[18:03] <CoolApps> Looks like I will need to leave it as it is for now, I have enough things to do. XD
[18:03] <someguy> rrman, what?
[18:04] <someguy> rrman, the exit 0 should come last, right?
[18:04] <rrman> someguy: ye i thought you added first :/
[18:05] <someguy> rrman, I added the command before the exit 0.. that is, exit 0 is "X+1", if X is the line number at which I wrote the command
[18:05] <rrman> DBoyz: try this command: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg " it should reconfig it
[18:05] <rrman> someguy: ok just got it wrong :( so can you write the command you entered it needs change
[18:05] <someguy> goddamn it.. Why is it so hard to add something to the autostart up!
[18:06] <someguy> rrman, what?
[18:06] <someguy> rrman, ah ok, wait
[18:06] <rrman> someguy: actually its not
[18:06] <someguy> rrman,  export DISPLAY=:0.0 ; echo <PASSWORD> | /path/vpn
[18:06] <rrman> someguy: write the command you entered
[18:07] <rrman> so can you copy this to a simple file and give it 777 perm ?
[18:07] <someguy> Shouldn't I be able to go to the "startup applications" thingie, and write the command "sudo /path/tovpn"?
[18:07] <DBoyz> rrman: there's a lot of dconf-WARNING failed to commit changes to dconf could not connect connection refused
[18:08] <rrman> someguy: didnt understand what you said :) just copy the command to a file
[18:09] <rrman> and put this except that in rc.local : "sh /path/to/commmandfile"
[18:09] <someguy> rrman, hum.. ok
[18:09] <DBoyz> rrman: I guess it did not turn out well
[18:09] <eeee> someguy: if you type echo <password> | /path/to/vpn in a terminal, does it work?
[18:10] <someguy> eeee, no
[18:10] <someguy> lol
[18:10] <eeee> what's the error
[18:10] <rrman> someguy: :|
[18:11] <someguy> bash: path/: No such file or directory
[18:11] <Alanbitsch> i cant see icons on the top bar :(
[18:11] <Alanbitsch> http://i59.tinypic.com/wi95is.jpg
[18:11] <rrman> eeee: did you mean "echo <PSWD> | sudo /p/vpn ?
[18:11] <someguy> which is weird, because that path works if I do sudo /path/
[18:11] <Alanbitsch> how can i fix it?
[18:11] <Alanbitsch> http://i59.tinypic.com/wi95is.jpg
[18:11] <eeee> rrman: that would pipe to sudo, no?
[18:11] <awygle> hi all. what's the best way to serve in-house packages to our office network? should i set up a PPA or is a "normal" apt server good enough? can someone point at some documentation for doing this remotely (i.e., repository is not on the same computer that will be installing the packages)?
[18:11] <eeee> which wouldn't work i guess, but rc.local runs as root so its ok
[18:11] <someguy> AH WAIT
[18:11] <someguy> my path is wrong
[18:11] <someguy> I forgot the first /
[18:11] <eeee> someguy: yeah
[18:11] <someguy> let me try
[18:12] <someguy> well, it runs
[18:12] <someguy> but it asks me for the password
[18:12] <rrman> eeee: well it needs sudo ?? (the vpn)
[18:12] <eeee> someguy: try it in a root shell if it doesn't work, type sudo -i
[18:12] <Alanbitsch> i cant see icons on the top bar, how can i fix it?
[18:12] <Alanbitsch> http://i59.tinypic.com/wi95is.jpg
[18:12] <rrman> someguy: password of what?
[18:12] <someguy> rrman, it needs sudo, but I added the program to the sudoers already, it shouldn't ask for it?
[18:12] <eeee> someguy: try this /path/to/vpn <<< password
[18:13] <someguy> rrman, if I do /path/to/vpn it doesn't ask for pw
[18:13] <someguy> eeee,  it doesn't ask for pwd that way
[18:13] <eeee> if you use <<< ?
[18:13] <someguy> eeee, ah wait, I didn't try that.. I meant /path/to/vpn only doesn't ask for pwd.
[18:13] <rrman> someguy: im not sure about sudoers list you can give it sudo access when you run it its easier
[18:13] <someguy> eeee, actually
[18:14] <praeconium> Whenever I try to override AMD commands I get 'ERROR - X needs to be running to perform AMD Overdrive(TM) commands' but I have monitor up and running. What to do?
[18:14] <someguy> eeee, rrman , ignore everything I said.. it's asking for pw again, for some reason
[18:14] <rrman> echo <SUDO PASSWORD> | sudo /vpn
[18:14] <someguy> it didn't ask like 1h ago
[18:14] <eeee> someguy: the sudo ticket timed out maybe?
[18:15] <someguy> Actually, I'm a moron
[18:15] <DBoyz> hm?
[18:15] <someguy> sec please
[18:15] <eeee> why are you sending the sudo password to the vpn, btw?
[18:15] <someguy> OK, what I MEAN IS:
[18:15] <rrman> echo <SUDO PASSWORD> | sudo /vpn     this should work?!
[18:15] <someguy> If I run this: "sudo /path/tovpn" --> it does not ask for password
[18:15] <gfsfdsfdsfsdf> sry my internet got down

What to do?
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> Daghdha  and raring is !eol, dead
[18:23] <codygman> Is the raring ubuntu deb archive no longer available? Relevant to why I need it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/371728/cant-install-apache-2-2-22-on-ubuntu-13-10/386686#386686
[18:23] <codygman> lol
[18:23] <codygman> my question got answered before I asked it
[18:23] <Daghdha> MonkeyDust: Vbox says i neet some extention pack for usb2
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> fellipe  oneiric has been !eol for over a year now
[18:23] <eeee> codygman: you can change the sources to old-releases.ubuntu instead of archive.ubuntu
[18:24] <MonkeyDust> Daghdha  yes, i have it
[18:24] <MonkeyDust> Daghdha  moment

[18:27] <FarlaTux> MonkeyDust, why?
[18:27] <onielfa_> Hello, I have a problem. My keyboard is not working on grub but it does on the BIOS. This was not happening yesterday, when I did the fresh 14.04 install. Any hint?

[18:33] <fellipe> MonkeyDust, I know, I am migrating these old ubuntu versions, but I still need to have a repo mirror here of oneiric. Is it possible or not? I know about EOL, but I just need the mirror here. Is it possible?
[18:33] <MonkeyDust> Daghdha  you were clicking wrong, first READ what the page shows
[18:33] <MonkeyDust> fellipe  what did ubottu tell you?
[18:35] <fellipe> MonkeyDust, I know! But the rsync begins to sync that repository. I just want to solve this error..
[18:35] <YokoBR> hi guys... i've used clonezilla, now my source hdd doesn't works anymore... I get lot's of i/o errors
[18:36] <MonkeyDust> fellipe  maybe that's the way to solve it, no?
[18:36] <fellipe> MonkeyDust, what way? I am newbie in repository mirroring.
[18:36] <expunge> YokoBR: lesson learned
[18:36] <praeconium> How to change Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre to include jdk
[18:37] <praeconium> I've tried creating ~/.mavenrc file and exporting PATH and changing enviornment path.. but nothing seems to workout, got ubuntu14.04
[18:37] <YokoBR> expunge, the strange part is that it broke my source hdd, which it should only read.
[18:37] <YokoBR> damn
[18:37] <expunge> YokoBR: still has to spin to read
[18:37] <MonkeyDust> fellipe  backup and fresh install is faster, easier and more efficient, try that
[18:38] <expunge> well it's more efficient if it is
[18:38] <YokoBR> expunge.. it reads, i can see it on gparted
[18:38] <YokoBR> but without the partition table.
[18:38] <Alanbitsch> hi
[18:38] <fellipe> MonkeyDust, I can't. there are a lot or hosts here
[18:38] <expunge> YokoBR: I'm saying reading is also something that requires the drive to move about
[18:38] <expunge> Alanbitsch: heyo
[18:38] <MonkeyDust> fellipe  is that a server migration?
[18:38] <YokoBR> çdsfhngoahg

[18:44] <DBoyz> I am still facing the same issue. I am stuck at an empty screen (no dash no panel no launcher) after login
[18:44] <killiaon> http://askubuntu.com/questions/324129/how-to-install-aptana So I move all the files into /usr/bin ? Not just the executable file? And the .desktop file that I have to create... What wiill be its name?
[18:44] <DBoyz> And I still need help.
[18:45] <Beldar> DBoyz, people come and go here be detailed in what you have tried if you can.
[18:45] <expunge> DBoyz: X cursor?
[18:45] <Ascavasaion> Hello there, ran an update and my default keyboard has gone from UK to US.  Can someone please tell me how to change it back to UK?
[18:46] <eeee> Ascavasaion: settings > text entry
[18:46] <Daghdha> HAHAAAAAAAAAA MonkeyDust .. it now (the virtual machine) recognizes my printer by name. I am hopeful. Thanks for your help. :)
[18:46] <DBoyz> expunge: it's an empty screen with only wallpaper and a cursor
[18:46] <Ascavasaion> eeee: Not sunning Ubuntu, running Lubuntu.
[18:46] <expunge> DBoyz: and what do you want, Unity?
[18:47] <DBoyz> I am using unity but I am not able to do anything. as i mentioned i am stuck in an empty screen with wallpaper and a working cursor
[18:47]  * Beldar looks for their magic wand
[18:47] <DBoyz> I can't even open terminal
[18:47] <expunge> DBoyz: can you run 'unity'?
[18:47] <expunge> DBoyz: DISPLAY=:0 unity, etc.
[18:47] <expunge> CTRL+ALT+F2, etc.
[18:48] <DBoyz> expunge: sorry. where do I put that? grub?
[18:48] <DBoyz> oh
[18:48] <DBoyz> sorry
[18:48] <DBoyz> let me try
[18:48] <expunge> =)
[18:49] <killiaon> I think DBoyz has a Unity failure. Would suggest him to use Ctrl+Alt+F2 ....
[18:49] <killiaon> for troubleshooting
[18:49] <kostkon> DBoyz, try resetting your unity/compiz configuration http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
[18:49] <kostkon> DBoyz, while you are in tty
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> Daghdha  found the correct extension pack?
[18:51] <DBoyz> killiaon, kostkon thank you. hang on.
[18:53] <killiaon> Would like to assure DBoyz that I ran into this problem when I was playing with Ubuntu just days after installing it. You are advised to keep calm...
[18:53] <Ascavasaion> Okay, I figured that out :)  Next question... the network manager icon at the right of the panel at the bottom... It is greyed out and I cannot access anything there.  Tooltip says "Network disabled".  How can I get that up and running again permanently please?
[18:53] <eeee> Ascavasaion: sudo service network-manager restart
[18:54] <eeee> Ascavasaion: don't know if that'll be permanent though
[18:55] <kristenbb> OerHeks: oh sorry didnt notice u had asked a question, sorry. so the nvidia card is 680 gtx, and it's not dual gpu
[18:55] <Ascavasaion> eeee: It enables the connection, but only virtual networks is editable from there now.

[18:55] <Bazyl> I have a question about hotkeys: Which place is more correct to use? System properties  or compiz settings manager ?

[18:56] <MonkeyDust> Bazyl  choose the one you find easiest
[18:56] <guimaluf> I've a server with 6 disk setup within a 3 hardware RAID0 array, , during my ubuntu 12.04 installation it's shown /dev/sd{a,b}, both empty and without any partition, then, after disk-detection it show /dev/sd{a,b,c,d,e} where /dev/sd{c,d,e} are my true 3 RAID0 array. Anyone knows how to keep going with my installation?
[18:56] <Galaxor> Hi.  I'm ssh -X'ing to an ubuntu 14.04.1 server.  I want to open a webdav connection from there.  On my local ubuntu 14.04.1, I can type a davs:// url.  On the remote one, it says "the file server type is not recognized".  What is the difference?  A nautilus extension?  A gvfs extension?
[18:57] <ravigehlot>  I am currently connecting to the Internet through /etc/network/interfaces. That allows me to connect from the terminal (xterm) to the Internet. I no longer want that, I want to connect from KDE Network Manager. The issue is that the two ways of doing that conflict with each other. How do I disable the first option?
[18:57] <DBoyz> Hi. I am stuck at 2nd command of part B. It says error: cannot autolaunch D-Bus without x11 $DISPLAY
[18:57] <Bazyl> MonkeyDust, does it equal ? i am worried this both apps fight against key events i generate...
[18:58] <kostkon> DBoyz, ignore the error for now, continue to the next one
[18:58] <OerHeks> kristenbb, open dash: driver # and additional drivers tool shows up, choose the latest driver there
[18:59] <kristenbb> OerHeks: that's what i did, and since then, the login screen doesn't show. i just can't get anything but a black screen, or an error saying running low graphics mode
[18:59] <kostkon> DBoyz, when you finish just  sudo reboot   anyways even if you've given the unity reset cmd
