[00:00] <daftykins> Bergcube: i suppose, but undernet support would seem more relevant
[00:00] <mntmse> ikonia:  I'm gettin the "missing operating system" message...   i'm guessing this is something to do with my partiions?
[00:00] <mntmse> or maybe a boot loader issue?
[00:00] <ikonia> mntmse: that means it's booting a partition with nothing to boot
[00:01] <Bergcube> daftykins, Sure.  But they don't have a channel here that I can find.  And getting ON undernet is the first step to get the help channel there.
[00:01] <daftykins> not if they have a website
[00:02] <daftykins> naturally i had already thought of that ;)
[00:02] <mntmse> ikonia:  what do you think is the best way to fix?
[00:02] <ikonia> mntmse: install a supported version
[00:02] <ikonia> that would be the first thing
[00:02] <mntmse> ok i will do this
[00:02] <Bergcube> daftykins, They probably do!  But you know...  Inertia...  :-D
[00:03] <ikonia> Bergcube: how we "fix" undernet ?
[00:03] <daftykins> hmm nope don't follow you there.
[00:03] <ikonia> or how do you expect us to ?
[00:03] <mntmse> ikonia:  do you think i need to make that swap partition bigger?
[00:03] <ikonia> the logical thing to do would be to engage with undernet and get the correct settings for your client after verifying the network is up
[00:03] <ikonia> mntmse: that seems a random question considering I don't know how big you set it
[00:03] <Bergcube> ikonia, I do not expect anything.  I am asking for help in case it's in my Ubuntu setup or in the ubuntu provided package.
[00:03] <mntmse> ikonia:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/10508238/
[00:04] <ikonia> mntmse: that seems a pointless swap partition size
[00:04] <ikonia> 133mb is worthless
[00:04] <mntmse> i know i made it by mistake
[00:04] <mntmse> i dont know what i was thinking to be honest
[00:04] <mntmse> i should make it 4 gig?
[00:04] <ikonia> you're re-installing, so fix it
[00:05] <daftykins> Bergcube: also - http://www.undernet.org/webchat.php google is wonderful \o/
[00:05] <mntmse> do i need to change anything with the bootloader?
[00:05] <mntmse> i'm using rEFInd
[00:05] <Lovich> what is the linux equivalent of installing a program and having it be contextual with right clicking in windows
[00:07] <ikonia> mntmse: the installer will put the bootloader on
[00:07] <mntmse> ok thanks
[00:07] <mntmse> i will try this tomorrow
[00:07] <mntmse> but i just leave rEFInd on my computer?
[00:08] <Bergcube> daftykins, Thanks.  I do know how to google.  I was there, and the web client timed out without connecting every time.  I would not have been here asking if something as rudimentary as that had worked.  I cannot see that I have been rude or impolite.  I do not feel I have deserved tongue in cheek humour that isn't funny.
[00:09] <McMido> how to search for a file in the terminal ?
[00:09] <McMido> and i shouldn`t really ask that here :D
[00:12] <bekks> McMido: "find /path/ -type f -name "filename"   or   find /path/ -type f | grep "searchstring"
[00:12] <McMido> thanks you.
[00:14] <nrdb> I am booting a VM from nfs ... it is working find :-) .... I purge grub as it wasn't needed and was interfering with updates ... but now whenever I do a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' it want to reinstall grub .... :-( .... how do I stop this?
[00:15] <daftykins> Bergcube: it's... not meant to be humour at all.
[00:15] <bekks> nrdb: grub shouldnt be interfering with updates at all, unless you are using third party package sources.
[00:16] <nrdb> bekks, yes it does... it keeps asking on what device to install itself on.
[00:16] <bekks> nrdb: So you are booting a diskless vm?
[00:17] <nrdb> nrdb, yes ... via nfs
[00:17] <Bergcube> daftykins, Then the content of the Ubuntu code of conduct must be quite different from what I had the impression it is.  I must have missed the part about trying to ridicule or humiliate those that come looking for help.
[00:18] <daftykins> i promise you, you're getting that yourself
[00:18] <daftykins> i see no point at which i did that, i think you're a bit too sensitive for IRC.
[00:20] <Bubuntu> Hello, i want to fix an usb key
[00:20] <maddawg2> what is the difference betweeen chmod 0777 and chmod 777
[00:20] <maddawg2> ?
[00:21] <nrdb> maddawg2, as far as I know nothing!
[00:21] <bekks> A big difference actually ;)
[00:21] <Bubuntu> do you have tools to fix an usb key ?
[00:21] <k1l> Bubuntu: what means "fix?
[00:22] <Bubuntu> repair
[00:22] <k1l> Bubuntu: or better: what is broken?
[00:22] <bekks> maddawg2: nrdb: See this: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Numeric-Modes.html#Numeric-Modes
[00:22] <Bubuntu> it's an usb key of my friend (on windows 7) he can't mount it
[00:23] <Bubuntu> sorry, he can't read it
[00:23] <bekks> maddawg2: In detail: specifying the leading 0, you UNSET the special modes described in the link above
[00:25] <nrdb> bekks, oh ... I see small but potentially important difference.
[00:25] <k1l> Bubuntu: it depends on the error you get with that usb drive
[00:26] <k1l> but since usb keys dont have the best storage chips in most cases there is a chance its just gone
[00:26] <Night_girl> Hi so my wifi is not working in Linux, however I tried with cable and it doesn't work either.  The Internet is working as my mobile from which im texting works
[00:27] <bekks> nrdb: 8 bit difference ;)
[00:28] <Night_girl> Can anyone help I just installed 14.04 as discussed
[00:29] <nrdb> bekks, only if those bits where set in the first place, and most times they wouldn't be... but if they where it could be big trouble.
[00:29] <pavlos> Night_girl, I assume 14.04 ... have you enabled networking?
[00:29] <bekks> nrdb: Yeah, indeed.
[00:30] <Night_girl> Helli
[00:31] <voycey> Hi Everyone, does anyone know if there is a package list for snappy on Ubuntu Core?
[00:31] <nrdb> Night_girl, have you tried to see if there any restricted drivers needed by your system?
[00:31] <tnkhanh> hi guys
[00:32] <sudormrf> hey all
[00:33] <j_t> How can I find the boot order on a trusty box? This new systemd/upstart stuff confuses me. I'm used to /etc/rc? runlevels
[00:33] <nrdb> voycey, you can search for packages uses the command 'apt-cache search <something>'
[00:33] <j_t> I'm trying to find out if a program called cloud init runs before some other script
[00:33] <voycey> nrdb: Ubuntu core doesnt use apt-get
[00:33] <voycey> or apt-*
[00:34] <voycey> I can use snappy to search but id just like to see a list of available packages before going to the effort of setting it up
[00:35] <nrdb> I am booting a VM from nfs ... it is working fine :-) .... I purged grub as it wasn't needed and was interfering with updates ... but now whenever I do a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' it want to reinstall grub .... :-( .... how do I stop this?
[00:37] <muscles> nrdb, maybe try using dpkg? echo "grub hold" | dpkg --set-selections
[00:37] <maddawg2> i know this isn't a vmware channel but i kind of have a ubuntu question....  i increased the size of my drive in vmware esxi and it's placed unallocated space after my Swap partition which is in EXTENDED format and i want to resize my / partition to include the unallocated
[00:38] <bekks> muscles: apt-get hold should do the job.
[00:38] <maddawg2> is it safe to delete the swap partition and increase the space
[00:38] <maddawg2> then recreate it?
[00:38] <muscles> bekks, nice - thanks for the tip
[00:38] <maddawg2> or will that mess up my boot
[00:38] <Night_girl> Wifi
[00:38] <daftykins> maddawg2: swapoff, delete, delete extended, resize /, recreate swap
[00:38] <bekks> maddawg2: when deleting swap, make sure you delete /etc/fstab entry too.
[00:39] <bekks> maddawg2: when just recreating swap, you dont have to delete the fstab entry
[00:39] <Night_girl> Let's see it works fine, I'm able to connect I get an IP address etc this is an easy one. Last time it was cause Firefox came wit an option. To use systems proxy so I just disabled it and said no procy
[00:40] <maddawg2> bekks good to know
[00:40] <maddawg2> thanks
[00:40] <Night_girl> So I do not know why is not working this time :(
[00:40] <maddawg2> so if i just delete the extended then expand my drive and turn swap back on I wont need to change anything
[00:41] <maddawg2> in fstab that is
[00:41] <maddawg2> since swap will be back on
[00:45] <Bashing-om> Night_girl: Terninal command -> ping -c3 <IP_ADDRESS> <- completes ?
[00:47] <nrdb> muscles, thanks the command 'echo "grub-common hold" | dpkg --set-selections' seemed to fix things
[00:48] <muscles> nrdb, no prob - i forgot the name of the grub package - nice catch
[00:49] <j_t> I'm trying to use update-rc.d to have a scrip start at a certain point on boot, say defaults 70, or say 80, or 99. but I want to make sure it starts after cloudinit. Does anyone know how to find out how say something like cloudinit which uses upstart... boots relative to something using update-rc.d?
[00:49] <j_t> How can I figure out what runlevel this would correlate to for cloudinit/upstart
[00:49] <bekks> !upstart | j_t
[00:50] <j_t> bekks: Does that mean you don't know the answer?
[00:51] <bekks> j_t: upstart does not correlate to SYSV, it replaces it.
[00:51] <bekks> j_t: Did you take a look at that link?
[00:51] <j_t> bekks: well sysv is still available for backwards compatibility
[00:51] <bryan> can 14.10 be downgraded back to 14.04
[00:51] <bekks> j_t: Yeah, and runlevels 2, 3, 4, 5 are mapped to the same result.
[00:51] <bekks> bryan: No.
[00:51] <k1l> bryan: no
[00:52] <nrdb> j_t, I put custom stuff like that in '/etc/rc.local'
[00:52] <bekks> nrdb: Dont do that. Instead, create a proper service definition for upstart.
[00:55] <j_t> https://devuan.org/
[00:55] <j_t> haha, I just found that while searching google
[00:55] <j_t> amusing

[01:04] <voycey> why is cdimage.ubuntu.com SO horrifically slow?
[01:05] <bekks> voycey: Because people are actually using it :)

[01:09] <VolUTFan> what do you mean by ubuntu-core?  you mean the bare minimum installation of ubuntu?
[01:09] <k1l> i think he means the new snappy ubuntu.

[01:14] <locsmif> Hi all. Is it normal that lsmod and /proc/modules show no output on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on a VPS?
[01:15] <k1l> locsmif: that is possible for some (old) vserver technologies
[01:16] <locsmif> k1l: I'm using Strato, and their kernel version is: 3.13.0-042stab092.3
[01:18] <k1l> locsmif: its not the kernel its the technic. so if its eopnvz or such its a common issue. if you need modules talk to the hoster
[01:18] <locsmif> k1l: thanks for elaborating.
[01:19] <t0th_-_> hi
[01:19] <t0th_-_> i am using rcconf but is not savind my changes, how i can solve this?

[01:21] <locsmif> k1l: some German talk on a Debian forum seems to confirm what you're saying for Strato.
[01:22] <k1l> locsmif: seems like they use virtuozzo and that is a known issue there
[01:22] <locsmif> k1l: ah, I was trying to find that out but couldn't... where did you get more info?
[01:23] <locsmif> k1l: nvm :) German, but informative (I happen to understand German, so, that helps :) http://blog.strato.de/server-sicher-konfigurieren/
[01:24] <Bubuntu> help
[01:24] <Bubuntu> i can see my usb key in disk utilitary
[01:24] <k1l> locsmif: yes, down there in an comment a employee tells they use virtuozzo
[01:25] <Bubuntu> but i can't mount it
[01:25] <k1l> Bubuntu: what tells you "dmesg" after you have put the usb drive in?
[01:25] <Bubuntu> with fdisk -l, i can't see it
[01:25] <teoma> Is it possible to use sudo somehow rather than having mount.ecryptfs_private setuid?  The problem I'm running into is that it then looks for the private directory in /root instead of $HOME.
[01:27] <Bubuntu> i can't copy
[01:28] <Bubuntu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10509098/
[01:28] <locsmif> teoma: the man page doesn't reference directly accessing /root : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man1/mount.ecryptfs_private.1.html
[01:29] <TerryC> I'm trying to install 14.04.2-server and it doesn't matter if I use a dvd, flash drive, or cd, I get a bunch of mount errors and an extremely slow install. I'm using a xeon on a 8gt/s motherboard, so I can't really guess why this is going so slow. Anyone know why all the mount errors? I've tried multiple iso's and multiple media types.
[01:29] <TerryC> making me question if this is really ready to be out in the public...
[01:30] <k1l> Bubuntu: its "sdb"
[01:30] <Bubuntu> it's a question ?
[01:31] <Loshki> TerryC: I'm still on 12.04.4 because it's solid as a rock.
[01:31] <locsmif> teoma: so it seems $HOME genuinely contains /root, since the only setuid operation according to the manpage is the call to mount(8) or umount(8) ?
[01:31] <Bubuntu> k1l, the name of my usb key is : Generic USB Flash Disk (7.76) in disk utilitary
[01:31] <k1l> TerryC: did you md5sum the isos?
[01:32] <TerryC> loshki: I am starting to think that might be the right route to go. 14 seems to be very flaky.
[01:32] <k1l> Bubuntu: it gets linked to the /dev/sdb device. so where is the issue now?
[01:32] <TerryC> k1l: no, I downloaded using 3 different pc's, so I assumed on eof them got it right, but same results.
[01:33] <Bubuntu> i can't mount it
[01:33] <k1l> TerryC: well. we will never know if you dont check the md5sum. you could also research if there are known issues with your hardware. i bet someone would have mentioned it already if that was a common thing
[01:33] <Bubuntu> i can't to see the content of my key
[01:34] <Loshki> TerryC: also, what k1l said...
[01:34] <locsmif> Bubuntu: best provide the error you get
[01:34] <TerryC> I'm currently trying to use the cd I downloaded whiel at work
[01:34] <TerryC> I'll run the integrity check and see what it says
[01:34] <locsmif> TerryC: you can check the CD or the ISO, same difference.
[01:35] <teoma> locsmif: Yes, sudo is changing HOME.  This may be related to the env_keep setting in the sudoers file.
[01:35] <Bubuntu> http://www.noelshack.com/2015-10-1425344389-capture-du-2015-03-03-01-59-21.png

[01:35] <Loshki> TerryC: a badly burned cd/dvd needing a lot of retries might produce exactly those symptoms...
[01:36] <Bubuntu> sorry for the french GUI
[01:36] <locsmif> teoma: sudo -E perhaps?
[01:36] <Bubuntu> if i push the button to ON, it change nothing
[01:36] <locsmif> You want to keep the environment of the user you are elevating from, right?
[01:37] <Loshki> locsmif: or just try setting HOME explicitly, manually, to what you want before you invoke the mount command?
[01:37] <teoma> locsmif: Thanks, yes!  That looks very helpful.
[01:41] <hardtail> anyone familiar with installing Ubuntu on a Mac so it can dual boot? I followed the guide and installed rEFInd Boot Manager successfully. when I rebooted and started the usb I made it to GRUB and selected Try Ubuntu. No device controller found is all that appears on the next screen
[01:42] <locsmif> Bubuntu: can you open a terminal and do: sudo blkid /dev/sdb ?
[01:42] <locsmif> Just a thought
[01:42] <ChrisF-> hi everyone.  I installed google-chrome-stable using apt.  If I go to unity and type Google Chrome, I can click the icon and it opens.  I then lock it to the launcher.  But, if I closei t and click teh launcher icon, it doesn't open.  Any idea why?
[01:43] <Bubuntu> yes, wait a moment locsmif
[01:44] <Bubuntu> nothing locsmif
[01:44] <locsmif> k1l: it gets weirder. fdisk -l returns nothing, cannot read from the root device.. strange stuff, virtuozzo
[01:46] <locsmif> Bubuntu: if you put that USB stick into a different machine now, can you see any files on it there?
[01:46] <Bubuntu> i haven't different machine
[01:48] <Bubuntu> i stop here, thanks for all
[01:48] <locsmif> dd if=/dev/sdb count=1 | hexdump -C
[01:48] <locsmif> okay
[01:48] <locsmif> Sorry I couldn't help you further, Bubuntu
[01:48] <locsmif> Bubuntu: wait a minute
[01:48] <hardtail> no device controller has to do with the installer finding my gpu right?
[01:48] <locsmif> Bubuntu: were there supposed to be files on the USB stick in the first place?
[01:48] <Patero> can I ask a question
[01:49] <locsmif> Patero: shoot
[01:49] <Patero> what is bubuntu
[01:49] <Bubuntu> i don't know, good night and thantks
[01:50] <locsmif> Heh. What if Bubuntu just wanted to format an USB stick for use?
[01:50] <locsmif> He took off before we got there. Oh well.

[01:51] <eikon81g> Anyone have time to help with a bluetooth issue?
[01:51] <eikon81g>  I looked into it a bit and it seems like it may be a bug in xubuntu but I saw some possible fixes regarding edits to audio.conf
[01:52] <eikon81g> I get the error: Connection Failed: Stream setup failed after adding the device (JBL Pulse BT Speaker) and trying to use audio sink
[01:52] <locsmif> eikon81g: for what it's worth: using regular Ubuntu, I was able to connect and use bluetooth speakers which didn't work under Win 7
[01:53] <locsmif> I'm a bit of an audio guy. But what is audio sink/
[01:53] <eikon81g> well that's hopeful lol, It's odd because the adapter is present and funtioning but for whatever reason the bluetooth manager won't allow the stream to initialize
[01:53] <muscles> locsmif, people will probably correct me, but i believe it is just an audio output
[01:54] <eikon81g> basically after pairing the speaker you select the audio sink for that device and the audio will output through the selected device
[01:54] <locsmif> eikon81g: when you say stream, are you just trying to play a wav or an mp3?
[01:55] <eikon81g> well it is before you can get to that it has to pair successfully before any audio could output
[01:55] <locsmif> eikon81g: I have to add that I had to fiddle like ten times with some on/off switch in the configuration before I got it working.
[01:55] <voycey> bekks: Docker is indeed a thing :)
[01:55] <locsmif> eikon81g: so pairing does work, or?
[01:55] <eikon81g> my adapter is enabled and sees the bluetooth device I am trying to pair to it just fails
[01:55] <locsmif> ok
[01:56] <eikon81g> it does, I can "trust" the device and I use the 0000 pin to connect it
[01:56] <locsmif> Hmm, I never had to enter a pin code
[01:56] <eikon81g> but once I set it to "Audio Sync" to use it as an output device it gives me the error
[01:56] <eikon81g> most devices no longer need the pin but if it does ask 0000 is generally universal
[01:57] <eikon81g> **"Audio Sink"
[01:57] <TerryC> So, thisis kinda weird, but it seems my problem was being caused because bios was reporting that I had a 1.44mb floppy drive, but I don't because... well, because. who uses those anymore. But ubuntu server was repeatedly trying to mount it and failing over and over, causing delays and errors in dmesg.
[01:58] <TerryC> once I disabled it in bios (not sure why it was on in the first place) it's now working like 80% faster
[01:59] <OerHeks> TerryC, after a bios reset, floppy is turned on standard
[01:59] <locsmif> eikon81g: is this related? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1283003
[01:59] <eikon81g> locsmif checking.
[02:01] <eikon81g> I don't think so mine is regarding the error Stream Failed to connect
[02:01] <eikon81g> **Connection Failed: Stream setup failed
[02:01] <eikon81g> sorry
[02:02] <locsmif> eikon81g: and this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/329278/connection-failed-stream-setup-failed-when-using-a2dp
[02:03] <locsmif> Well, I have to admit I'm just launching trial balloons here.

[02:04] <locsmif> hey, nice FF skin! :)
[02:05] <eikon81g> lol
[02:05] <eikon81g> thx.. I am looking at that one it is close but I don't know if it is exactly the same I may try some of the commands
[02:06] <locsmif> eikon81g: since you're using xubuntu, you might try: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2144841
[02:06] <locsmif> My last wild guess, I can't test, only you can :)
[02:06] <eikon81g> I think I can narrow it down to something in the audio.conf just not sure which changes need to be made
[02:06] <eikon81g> checking that one now
[02:06] <locsmif> eikon81g: they are discussing inserting sleep commands in that thread, near the end. Some other things as well.
[02:06] <poo-and-nachos> hi
[02:07] <poo-and-nachos> what kernal does lubuntu use?
[02:07] <locsmif> eikon81g: this stands out to me a little: "Device doesnt require a pin, but in blueman your forced to enter one"
[02:08] <locsmif> It almost feels as if this is analogous to a WIFI connection with the wrong PSK set.
[02:08] <eikon81g> yea, it may be something to do with it but whats so weird is the speaker actually beeps like it is paired and connected to audio and then it drops the connection within about a second
[02:09] <eikon81g> I see what you are saying I actually tried alternate pins like 1234 and a few others and it would report back authentication failed
[02:09] <eikon81g> I'm leaning on a bug but it seems that it's a forgotten topic
[02:10] <k1l> poo-and-nachos: which lubuntu?
[02:10] <poo-and-nachos> 14.10
[02:10] <locsmif> eikon81g: aha
[02:10] <k1l> poo-and-nachos: 3.16
[02:10] <poo-and-nachos> latest one I beleave
[02:10] <poo-and-nachos> thank you
[02:10] <eikon81g> I think the pin is good it takes an initial connection but then the error pops up
[02:11] <locsmif> eikon81g: if it were me in your shoes, I'd start doing everything manually, from the terminal, step-by-step where possible to isolate the error
[02:11] <locsmif> Also this: "I'm not familiar with xubuntu but do you have just the regular bluetooth assistant? I found that blueman doesn't work, but as soon as I remove/purge it, everything works just fine. I have to re-add the device every time, but it's better than no bluetooth audio at all."
[02:11] <eikon81g> k I can try that out the blueman bluetooth software may be to blame
[02:11] <locsmif> yep
[02:12] <Siente> Hello guys, when I scan the ubuntu disk for errors from my USB it's giving me 2 erros is it normal?
[02:12] <eikon81g> ok I am gonna dig in a little bit thanks man
[02:12] <locsmif> you're welcome, I hope it works out
[02:12] <eikon81g> :)
[02:12] <eikon81g> I'll pop back in and let you know in a bit
[02:13] <locsmif> eikon81g: "Without music, life would be a mistake.." -- Nietzsche
[02:13] <locsmif> ;-)
[02:13] <eikon81g> nice, that's a jewel :)
[02:13] <locsmif> Siente: what kind of errors?
[02:14] <Siente> locsmif, it's just saying errors found in 2 files!
[02:15] <locsmif> Siente: are you booting from USB to scan your harddrive?
[02:15] <hardtail> so my hdd has no encryption on it, still get the error when trying to install 'i8042 no controller found', I added in i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset to my boot flags but still the same error and response from my machine, keyboard lit and then freezes. anyone have an idea ?
[02:15] <Siente> locsmif, yes from usb
[02:16] <locsmif> Siente: ok. Can't say I know what to tell you from so little info :)
[02:16] <Siente> and I am using the Universal USB Installer <IP_ADDRESS> on windows for creating the usb stick
[02:18] <Siente> locsmif, MD5 Check Sums are the same so the iso file is okay
[02:19] <locsmif> Siente: but the errors reported are on your harddisk, right? Not on your USB device... that you aren't scanning, you said.
[02:19] <locsmif> Or implied, rather.
[02:20] <locsmif> hardtail: from what I can tell i8042 is an old keyboard controller not in use anymore
[02:20] <locsmif> What does this have to do with hdd encryption?
[02:20] <Siente> locsmif, when I boot from the USB and when I choose Check disc for defects it's giving me 2 erros found
[02:20] <hardtail> locsmif I found the same error on stack overflow and the user had to turn of disk encryption to get his to work - then another like me who has done that and the error still persists
[02:21] <Siente> http://askubuntu.com/questions/498794/md5-says-the-checksum-is-correct-but-still-check-finished-errors-found-in-2-fi
[02:21] <Siente> same problem
[02:22] <kgalahassa> hi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully
[02:25] <locsmif> Siente: maybe it's related to this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127398/usb-drive-install-of-ubuntu-12-04-server-fails-cant-find-components-from-cd-r
[02:26] <locsmif> hardtail: are you installing to a Macbook Pro?
[02:26] <hardtail> yes locsmif, I found another article saying to try with 'nomodeset' so I will go try this
[02:27] <hardtail> I will brb
[02:27] <Siente> locsmif, I am able to install the OS I mean here https://www.howtoforge.com/images/ubuntu_14.10_utopic_unicorn_minimal_server/2.png when I choose Check disc for defects
[02:28] <Siente> It's saying errors found in 2 files
[02:30] <locsmif> Siente: I understand. Have you read the link I posted and the responses?
[02:33] <Siente> locsmif, but he's not able to install the OS there?
[02:33] <locsmif> Siente: that's not what I'm reading :)
[02:34] <locsmif> They're seeing file name cut-off based errors, they're proposing workarounds, and they've also tried other means of installing to USB, which worked
[02:35] <Siente> locsmif, ah okay
[02:36] <hardtail> Locsmif it worked with nomodeset. I am now in the installer and when I select my free space it tells me not root file system defined please correct this from the partitioning menu
[02:38] <voycey> is there a way to see what repository was used to install something in ubuntu?
[02:38] <locsmif> hardtail: nomodeset relates to graphical mode settings of your video card. So it appears your latest problem was caused by interoperability problems with your onboard video card. As for the problem you're having now: it seems you need to partition your harddisk before installing.
[02:39] <eikon81g> bluetooth fail. LOL I think I will end up just scrapping blueman and using pulse audio but I already know it will mess up my hardkeys for the vlume up down and mute on this machine
[02:39] <eikon81g> so I am thinking is it really worth it.. LOL
[02:39] <locsmif> voycey: apt-cache show <package> may help. There should be a line saying "Origin"
[02:40] <shamaan> hallo!! is somebody from holland here..??
[02:40] <shamaan> :p
[02:40] <hardtail> Locsmif makes sense. How can I go about partitioning the free space, must it be done outside the installer?  It only allows me to modify my os x partition
[02:41] <aeon-ltd> shamaan: do you have a support question?
[02:41] <shamaan> noo... :(
[02:41] <voycey> locsmif: they all just show Ubuntu - pretty sure they came from PPA's
[02:42] <locsmif> shamaan: me
[02:42] <locsmif> eikon81g: damn
[02:43] <eikon81g> yea, It's a 50/50 I guess I could remove blueman (since it's bugged anyway) and try another manager
[02:43] <k1l> voycey: apt-cache policy package
[02:43] <eikon81g> I am looking into that now
[02:43] <voycey> k1l: perfect thanks :)
[02:43] <locsmif> eikon81g: I do remember that I forgot that volume was handled by my laptop and no longer by the volume dial on the speakers when I got it working, I damn near blew my ears off
[02:44] <eikon81g> lol whoops..
[02:44] <locsmif> hardtail: you're going for dual boot?
[02:45] <TerryC> when i tried to bring up one of my ethernet interfaces, I got a "leaking memory" error... downloading the drivers now, but still, that seems a tadbit bad.
[02:45] <hardtail> Yes sir
[02:45] <locsmif> oof... you may need to use an advanced partioning tool like Acronis to make space first
[02:45] <TerryC> it's a intel i210 gigabit adapter, I didn't get that error with my dual port 10gigabit card though... just the i210
[02:46] <locsmif> hardtail: or is there free space on the disk already/
[02:46] <TerryC> might just be an error with the inbox driver
[02:46] <Hardtail> locsmif i used osx's disk utility to create 100 gb of free space, not sure if that was ok
[02:46] <locsmif> Hardtail: ah, that's good :)
[02:47] <Hardtail> but it would not give me the option to format it in the installer
[02:47] <locsmif> Hardtail: http://askubuntu.com/questions/462360/macbook-air-how-to-install-a-dual-bootable-ubuntu-14-04-lts
[02:48] <locsmif> "At partitioning stage, select manual partitioning, select as your / partition the partition that you created in Disk Utility (and swap if you created a partition for that)"
[02:48] <locsmif> I would create a swap partition, too.
[02:49] <Hardtail> hmm  odd when I got to that stage and selected it all the options were greyed out, only the partitions for my OSX could be altered
[02:49] <eikon81g> hey what format is the partition in? hfs or fat?
[02:50] <eikon81g> the reason the installer may not see it is because the format of the partition may not be recognizable..
[02:50] <kgalahassa> hi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully
[02:50] <locsmif> Hardtail: you're supposed to create a new partition in the empty space..
[02:50] <eikon81g> (just a thought) I think I started out with a FAT partition
[02:51] <Hardtail> yes I understand that locsmif but it won't let me create a partition in it
[02:51] <locsmif> Does it even show the empty space?
[02:51] <Hardtail> bah, it's probably me doing this all incorrectly :D
[02:51] <Hardtail> yes it does
[02:52] <eikon81g> what format is the partition when you see it in osx?
[02:53] <Hardtail> it says free space only
[02:53] <eikon81g> so in OSx disk utility does it show the Mac OS partition only?
[02:54] <eikon81g> the free space is good but to utilize it you need to create a partition on that space to separate it from your osx partition
[02:54] <Hardtail> that is correct eikon81g
[02:55] <Hardtail> ah, so that was my mistake then
[02:55] <eikon81g> right but BE CAREFUL
[02:55] <eikon81g> when you start messing with partitions it's easy to mess things us and trash your osx partition and lose all your data
[02:55] <locsmif> What about this? http://cdn5.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/install-ubuntu-linux-alongside-mac-os-x.png
[02:56] <Hardtail> yeah that option was not there locsmif
[02:56] <locsmif> I guess you never got that far..
[02:56] <eikon81g> ^^ locsmif is good there are some tutorials and instructions available for dualbooting a mac
[02:56] <Hardtail> well I installed the boot manager and everything, just needed the right flags
[02:56] <eikon81g> I would look for a step by step on how to dual boot a mac so that you don't lose any data or cause yourself grief
[02:57] <eikon81g> ok well I was just chiming in on the partition question you have me beat with the rest but it sounds like you still need a valid partition to install onto
[02:57] <locsmif> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/dual-boot-os-ubuntu <- "Proceed to install Ubuntu on the .free space. partition you created earlier. Ubuntu may prompt you to install it on freespace (double check the size) or, if it doesn.t or you just want to be super-cautious choose the .Advanced. option from the partition screen."
[02:58] <eikon81g> so I would find the best way to allocate some of your free disk space into a new partition without wrecking your working osx install
[02:58] <locsmif> Did you chose the "Advanced" option? ;)
[02:58] <Hardtail> yes..that's what I was descrbing the buttons greyed out
[02:59] <Hardtail> and those guides are outdated that version of the bootloader is no longer ind evelopment
[02:59] <eikon81g> ^^ you got it locsmif good luck yall.. sorry I can't help more I am ballsdeep on my issue atm LOL
[02:59] <locsmif> Well I give up
[02:59] <locsmif> eikon81g: just make sure you turn the volume down ;)
[02:59] <Hardtail> hahaha
[02:59] <eikon81g> I think a workaround for that issue is to have a partition ready to go when you load up the ubuntu installer.....
[02:59] <Hardtail> eikon81g i can partition the free space as exfat
[02:59] <eikon81g> LOL yes sir ty
[03:00] <locsmif> exfat?
[03:00] <eikon81g> so manually creating a partition using OSx maybe one way to get it done
[03:00] <Hardtail> i can partition it as mac os journalled ex fat or dos
[03:01] <kgalahassa> hi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully
[03:01] <locsmif> Hardtail: that won't work, I would guess..
[03:01] <eikon81g> exfat or fat should work to get your ubuntu installer to see the partition
[03:01] <Hardtail> right now osx sees both partitions
[03:01] <Hardtail> this should work guys thanks. i will brb
[03:02] <eikon81g> see if u use the os x disk utility to partition some of the free space you have then you can get ubuntu to install on that partition
[03:02] <eikon81g> ok.. be careful don't over write your osx partition
[03:02] <locsmif> But can Ubuntu boot from exFAT?
[03:02] <eikon81g> it sees exfat in the ubuntu installer
[03:02] <eikon81g> Idk if it is native to ubuntu or not
[03:03] <eikon81g> well if he pops back in he should try just FAT that's bound to be accessible
[03:03] <eikon81g> it puckers up my butthole when it gets down to messing with the partitions because I hate to trash stuff by accident lol
[03:04] <eikon81g> I ran into an issue earlier and got some great help on this channel
[03:04] <eikon81g> the LVM feature has a bug and it made my /boot partition way small
[03:05] <eikon81g> the guys got me going but to repair it I need to re-install and I was like well crap so needless to say I am saving that for another day LOL
[03:05] <locsmif> Yeah, LVM can be difficult
[03:06] <eikon81g> I think hardtail will get it tho.. sounds like he was close and he had the boot loader already working so hopefully he gets it
[03:06] <eikon81g> Yea, they said there was a bug report on it but I was unaware until they walked me through some steps and looked @ my partition sizes smh.. some people are so good it makes me sick LOL
[03:07] <locsmif> The problem is you seem to be wanting to help him get his free space *visible* by partitioning it and *formatting* it with an exFAT or other FAT-based filesystem, which doesn't work for Ubuntu installations, except for configurations such as ISOLINUX and the like.
[03:07] <eikon81g> humm.. I was just under the impression he was lacking a second partition at all..
[03:08] <locsmif> Well, let's see what happens, I'm curious
[03:08] <locsmif> We're indemnified, right?
[03:08] <eikon81g> me 2 lol I just remember when I installed xubuntu and ubuntu I started with a fat partition on my drive idk
[03:09] <eikon81g> indemnified indeed.. hopefully I didn't cause a boo boo
[03:09] <eikon81g> lolll
[03:10] <locsmif> What I'm really missing here is a boot-time TeamViewer to help hardtail install Ubuntu remotely
[03:10] <eikon81g> I run an mac sometimes I just like os x too much to use anything else on that machine..
[03:10] <eikon81g> yea, Teamviewer is a lifesaver
[03:11] <locsmif> eikon81g: well I haven't seen the guy yet. I'm out.. Cheerio! lol.
[03:11] <locsmif> hardtail: hi. We were just talking about you
[03:11] <locsmif> How's it going? ;)
[03:12] <hardtail> hahaha just peachy my friend XD
[03:12] <locsmif> hardtail: great!
[03:12] <locsmif> We're available for children's parties too
[03:13] <hardtail> it was able to read the drive after formatting it in disk utility
[03:13] <hardtail> lol ^
[03:14] <locsmif> hardtail: so now you're able to install?
[03:14] <hardtail> yes when i assigned a mount directory of / it would work but asked me to create a swap partition
[03:16] <kgalahassa> hi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully
[03:16] <eikon81g> Locsmif you're up! LOL
[03:16] <locsmif> hardtail: you assigned that to a different partition than the OSX parition, yes?  Any idea how to make it come up normally?
[03:17] <hardtail> locsmif yes, i created 140 gbs as exfat. it will allow me to format it as ext4 and then assign mounting point of / but it asked me to create another partition for swapping otherwise memory issues can occur, so it says
[03:18] <locsmif> TerryC: /etc/network/interfaces would be interesting in this regard. But it may contain some privacy sensitive information, such as your public ip address.
[03:18] <locsmif> hardtail: how much memory do you have?
[03:18] <hardtail> 16gb
[03:18] <TerryC> locsmif: I set my ip addresses in there, but it still comes up disabled.
[03:19] <locsmif> hardtail: oh, forget about swap then. It's very much recommended, but with 16GB of memory, well.. I'd take the gamble.
[03:19] <locsmif> You could repartition later, maybe.
[03:19] <TerryC> and if I manually up eth1 it does not use the ip I set in interfaces
[03:19] <locsmif> hardtail: it's just that it's been a rough ride even getting to this point, I suggest moving forward
[03:20] <locsmif> TerryC: I was more or less suggesting you pastebin /etc/network/interfaces, so we could look at it, perhaps with some sensitive info obscured with x's.
[03:21] <hardtail> understood locsmif. well, sort of a curve ball here. this laptop is an i7, 16gb ram, has a dedicated gpu. if i just installed ubuntu in virtualbox would the performance be drastically different from native boot? i wont be running any 3d applications
[03:21] <locsmif> Well, why would you install in Virtualbox now?
[03:21] <locsmif> You're nearly there!
[03:21] <eikon81g> lol
[03:21] <locsmif> I would avoid Virtualbox, it's nice but inferior compared to Vmware
[03:22]  * eikon81g dropped the confetti
[03:22] <locsmif> So you may run into some problems using Virtualbox you wouldn't otherwise have, indeed.
[03:22] <hardtail> no worries it was just a thought
[03:22] <locsmif> hardtail: I wish I could connect to your box remotely so I could see this installation screen for myself. I could easily switch to a terminal and do the patitioning manually
[03:23] <eikon81g> my vote is on the standalone install as well too many variables with virtualbox
[03:23] <locsmif> I'm oldschool, I'm not germane to all these fancy GUI installers
[03:23] <TerryC> locsmif: I spelled auto atuo :)
[03:23] <locsmif> TerryC: ! =)
[03:23] <TerryC> that's why it wasn't coming up :)
[03:23] <hardtail> im actually installing this to take a linux course locsmif lol
[03:23] <locsmif> TerryC: I figured as much.
[03:23] <xubuntu25w> How do you compile a source code without install.sh? I try to compile this one: https://github.com/irssi/irssi
[03:24] <locsmif> hardtail: haha
[03:24] <hardtail> ok well if you guys don't think the memory swap isnt a big deal then ill just proceed the way it is
[03:24] <locsmif> xubuntu25w: make
[03:24] <eikon81g> oh man.. well mention us in your notes!! lol JKJK
[03:24] <xubuntu25w> locsmif: I know but it doesn't work
[03:24] <Guest79115> socal?
[03:24] <hardtail> i will for sure :p
[03:24] <eikon81g> hardtail when it asks you to create the partition why can't you?
[03:25] <eikon81g> it's kind of just an automated part of the install I saw that too
[03:25] <locsmif> hardtail: with 16GB? No.. you're like 10GB clean of any problems, unless, perhaps, you go nuts in a browser like Chrome or Firefox
[03:25] <eikon81g> haha ^^
[03:25] <hardtail> nono it will let me I believe eikon81g i just came back on osx to make another partition for swap lol
[03:25] <hardtail> but i dont need to now
[03:26] <eikon81g> to be honest I just cruised through that part
[03:26] <eikon81g> I would let the ubuntu installer do it's own thing don't do it manually
[03:26] <locsmif> hardtail: moreover, if you were to actually create a swap partition, it would have to be ~16GB or perhaps even 20 or 32GB.
[03:26] <eikon81g> you could omit the swap like locsmif says or just let the installer create you a partition
[03:27] <eikon81g> locsmif this is the second person today I've seen in this channel that had to install ubuntu as part of a class
[03:27] <locsmif> Well, good! My college years weren't half as cool
[03:27] <eikon81g> you taking students this semester?
[03:27] <TerryC> As a general rule, I usually set my swapspace to 1.5x the amount of ram. so for 4gb=6gb swap, 8gb=12gb swap... and so on
[03:27]  * eikon81g signs up
[03:27]  * tnkhanh says hi and waves hand to everyone
[03:27] <TerryC> but to each their own, it's just a easy way for me to figure it, and I usually round up to the next gb
[03:28] <eikon81g> I was reading about that today a little bit, good tip
[03:28] <hardtail> well maybe not a traditional class in the sense eikon81g lol
[03:28] <eikon81g> lol
[03:28] <tnkhanh> hi guys
[03:28] <hardtail> linux foundation edx, just want to learn
[03:28] <Guest79115> hi
[03:28] <locsmif> TerryC: thing is, 16GB memory will net you 24GB swap space that way. And 16GB is what hardtail here has :)
[03:28] <TerryC> You never really seem to notice how much swap space you need till you have too little :)
[03:29] <locsmif> hardtail: may I say I'm rather jealous at your hardware specs?
[03:29] <eikon81g> hardtail I think if you just let the installer create you a new partition it will be fine use the default settings it brings up and next on through
[03:29] <locsmif> hardtail: so what do you intend on doing? Run a simulation of the universe?
[03:29] <eikon81g> I agree locsmif.. I am upset.
[03:29] <TerryC> locsmif: I've got servers with 128gb and 512gb ram, and I still follow that rule..
[03:30] <eikon81g> good god. LOL
[03:30]  * eikon81g walks away with head down
[03:30] <locsmif> TerryC: have you checked back with swap usage?
[03:31] <locsmif> My 8GB ram-carrying VPS has no swap at all
[03:31] <TerryC> locsmif: never really paid any attention to swap usage, these servers are pushing 40gbit nics, and the swapspace is probably rarely even used if at all unless being used for Chariot controllers
[03:31] <locsmif> TerryC: great stuff
[03:32] <hardtail> lol i intend to take over the interwebz locsmif *dr evil voice*. well this laptop i actually thought was dead but just going to use it to learn linux for the time being
[03:32] <eikon81g> smh.. pass it this way when your done! lol
[03:32] <TerryC> I work at intel in CSIG (Computing Server Information Group) and we basically play around with servers and try to see what we can break, before the product ships.
[03:32] <eikon81g> hey locsmif!! I got my bluetooth working!
[03:32] <locsmif> hardtail: dead?!?
[03:32] <hardtail> i will be back in a couple, going to complete the install, thank you all
[03:32] <eikon81g> Installed pulseaudio bluetooth and initialized it
[03:32] <locsmif> hardtail: good luck
[03:33] <hardtail> yes ill fill you in when i get back
[03:33] <eikon81g> np! good luck
[03:33] <locsmif> eikon81g: =))
[03:33] <eikon81g> sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and then sudo pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover < BOOM!
[03:34] <locsmif> TerryC:  :(){ :|:& };:  ?
[03:34] <TerryC> forkbombs! yummy
[03:34] <locsmif> eikon81g: so what changed exactly?
[03:35] <locsmif> TerryC: would be a great waste of such hardware
[03:35] <TerryC> I did that on a quad xeon with 1tb ram, took about 5 or 6 minutes to run out of resources
[03:35] <locsmif> TerryC: do you use testing frameworks at all?
[03:35] <eikon81g> well i needed to install the pulse audio bluetooth module for whatever reason
[03:36] <locsmif> eikon81g: lol! Now what reason could that possibly be?
[03:36] <kgalahassa> hi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully
[03:36] <eikon81g> and after that I had to run the command to load the module and then in blueman it connected without an error
[03:36] <TerryC> we mostly custom build for the tests we do, but we use IXIA chassis, Chariot, and Lauterbach/pcie analyzers
[03:36] <locsmif> eikon81g: I need to remember what you did because I may run into it myself
[03:36] <eikon81g> then in the audio settings I changed the audio device from built in speakers to the now present jbl pulse in the list :)
[03:36] <eikon81g>  sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and then sudo pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover
[03:37] <eikon81g> I had made some edits to my /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf but they seem to be fine as of now once I installed the pulse bluetooth module it was easier to work with
[03:37] <locsmif> TerryC: well, you have an awesome job, I tell you that.
[03:38] <locsmif> eikon81g: excellent
[03:38] <eikon81g> yea I envy TerryC
[03:38] <locsmif> TerryC: sounds almost like you're supplying IXPs
[03:38] <eikon81g> yea hopefully you don't run into it.. what a mess
[03:39] <eikon81g> considering i got 2 cheap ass bluetooth adapters off amazon for 2.00 shipped I am happy! lol
[03:40] <TerryC> In my department, we take stuff that is nearly ready for the market, and test them, try to break them, so that we can fix it before a customer breaks them in these ways.
[03:40] <lasko> Also known as Quality Assurance
[03:41] <TerryC> like, setup a tagged vxlan between multiple switches, generate traffic over them, push 20 servers into it with 300 clients... and see if anything breaks, or any CRC errors or whatnot.
[03:41] <eikon81g> I gotta step away I will bbl yall thanks!
[03:41] <TerryC> QA is more for production, I work in Validation Engineering
[03:42] <lasko> Same principles being applied ultimately. Find broken stuff before someone else does ;)
[03:44] <siente> Hello guys, when I type sudo apt-get update it's saying E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[03:44] <siente> how to fix it? I am using the latest release 14.10
[03:44] <bodhi_zazen> siente, use another mirror or post your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:45] <TerryC> Some of the stuff I do is kindof silly, like recently installed windows 10 tech preview on a server with 128gb ram, but it was 32bit win10.... just to see if our 40gig cards would work at all on it. Suprisingly it did. but nobody really cared, we just wanted to make sure the system would turn on with 32bit os's, even though they will never be supported for 40gig cards.
[03:45] <siente> bodhi_zazen, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10510332/
[03:45] <TerryC> still pretty sad to see 128gb, 2.5gb usable
[03:46] <locsmif> TerryC: wildest thing I've been working on was programming Windows certificate stores
[03:47] <bodhi_zazen> siente, unless you are installing from source, you do not need any of the deb-src repos
[03:47] <locsmif> Complex, to the point where I had to trace certutil.exe line by line to see what was happening and imitate
[03:47] <bodhi_zazen> and which repo is giving the error ?
[03:47] <locsmif> Anyways ;)
[03:48] <siente> bodhi_zazen, I am newbie what should I do?
[03:48] <TerryC> we jsut shipped like 30 servers (dell r730's) to Microsoft with dual port 40gigabit cards in them (will later be designed built-on the motherboards) for certs.
[03:49] <TerryC> fun stuff, just weird building up servers to ship, then waiting to get them back for mroe testing
[03:49] <pluc_pilou> I need to compare the output of `fontforge --version` with the one on my machine. Could one of you kind persons post the output of that command to paste.ubuntu.com?
[03:49] <hardtail> wow terryc that sounds very interesting
[03:50] <hardtail> it installed rather quick locsmif but then when reboot time came the screen was blank and you could hear the ubuntu chime for the login lol
[03:51] <siente> bodhi_zazen, how to remove that error ?
[03:51] <siente> bodhi_zazen, if it's even an error E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[03:54] <pluc_pilou> Again, could anyone paste the output of `fontforge --version` to paste.ubuntu.com? Pretty please?
[03:54] <cknox> I am seeing an issue where Firefox will randomly type what it wants (although it seems somewhat related to what I have copied but I can't be sure). This seems to go away when I close Firefox and reopen it, and it not present at all in other programs
[03:55] <Malgorath> I installed windows 8.1 first then I installed 14.04.2 on a second hard drive, but when it boots I don't see any menu options and boot-repair does not see the windows partition but I can mount it and access files on it
[03:56] <cknox> also it doesn't matter which keys I type as even the arrow keys insert seemingly random characters
[03:57] <locsmif> hardtail: ?
[03:57] <locsmif> TerryC: what was the coolest way you broke stuff? :P
[03:58] <locsmif> cknox: you may want to create a new FF profile with firefox -P (close firefox first)
[03:58] <locsmif> Then test that profile for a while to isolate possible causes
[03:58] <cknox> I like Windows 10, but if it's not a free perpetual license locsmif I will certainly try that, but I did install Ubuntu less than a week ago ;)
[03:58] <cknox> bah
[03:59] <cknox> I forgot irssi doesn't have a different input line for each window
[03:59] <locsmif> haha
[03:59] <locsmif> I don't even know what that's about cknox
[04:00] <pluc_pilou> I thought all things windows were off-topic here...
[04:00] <pluc_pilou> ;-)
[04:00] <hardtail> locsmif um yes sir lol it just rebooted into that violet ubuntu screen
[04:00] <cknox> any reason I can't remove the Ubuntu Firefox extensions?
[04:00] <kgalahassa> hi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully. Here is my rdesktop.log: http://pastebin.com/UDRRusp2, and here my rsession-kgalahassa.log : http://pastebin.com/1JiuSHEw
[04:01] <locsmif> cknox: they were isntalled machine-wide?
[04:01] <locsmif> using .debs ?
[04:01] <locsmif> hardtail: is nomodeset still active as a bootoption?
[04:02] <hardtail> i did not get a chance to verify, when it rebooted it did not load the rEFInd boot manager either, just went straight to ubuntu so i was not able to check the flags
[04:02] <TerryC> locsmif: We were testing Sea of Sensors, (a HP technology) and we had to test a thermal sensor...
[04:03] <locsmif> TerryC: I like where this is going
[04:03] <TerryC> first we tried a hair-dryer, full temp (after blowing a few, we remembered we run 220 in the lab, so had to find one that could plug into 220 :) ) so we point it at the chip with the sensors... get's up to like 200degrees, and still functions....
[04:03] <locsmif> hardtail: that ought to be configurable in the Grub config
[04:03] <TerryC> so then we're like, ok, realisticly... this chip should never get this hot... so we figure, what if it does...
[04:04] <somsip> TerryC: you win March 2015 award for offtopicness by mentioning hair dryers in the ubuntu support channel. Well done, now maybe #ubuntu-offtopic would be better :)
[04:04] <locsmif> Mythbusters!
[04:04] <TerryC> so we get a hot-air gun, heats up to about 400 degrees or so... still works....
[04:04] <locsmif> Okay I can't miss out on this, joining #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:05] <locsmif> hardtail: but Ubuntu works?
[04:05] <rje> would anyone know if its possible to get the updated opensource radeon driver into 14.04?
[04:05] <TerryC> so then we're thinking, what is our upper limit here? so we get an industrial heat gun..... The freaking chip was literally melting off the board, still sending data, we had it on a highspeed camera and the chip was literally sliding while still sending data.
[04:05] <TerryC> then finally, it stopped. Our limit seemed to be right around 525-550F
[04:06] <locsmif> TerryC: awesome. I'm going to be quiet now about this so as not to provoke the ops
[04:06] <hardtail> locsmif i was not able to login the screen was blank and purple but i could just hear the chime so sounds like it works lol
[04:06] <locsmif> TerryC: but that's the craziest thing I've ever heard /OT
[04:06] <hardtail> it's alright i will continue again tomorrow on this thank you for everything locsmif
[04:07] <locsmif> hardtail: I guess trying nomodeset again may help
[04:07] <locsmif> hardtail: you're welcome
[04:21] <kgalahassa> hi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully. Here is my rdesktop.log: http://pastebin.com/UDRRusp2, and here my rsession-kgalahassa.log : http://pastebin.com/1JiuSHEw
[04:25] <detorr> how do i install teamviewer on ubuntu 14.10 64-bit??
[04:25] <detorr> getting a lot of errors
[04:26] <esr> Help, apt-get upgrade was interrupted by power failure, am seeking recovery advice.
[04:28] <lasko> esr: You'll need a live cd that you can use to perform the recovery
[04:28] <esr> System is running.  CD still needed?
[04:29] <lasko> So you have a usable system at the moment then?
[04:30] <esr> Yes.  And it looks like apt-get check was a good first step, I have a clean source list again.
[04:30] <esr> Restring the upgrade...
[04:31] <esr> That looks normal. Looks like apt-get check was the right response.
[04:31] <lakmal> what is the best remote software from windows to ubuntu .. tried VNC having several issue
[04:31] <lasko> and what particular issues are you seeing then?
[04:31] <cknox> lakmal: what type of remote connection are you looking for?
[04:31] <lasko> lakmal: Do you need a visual connection or command line?
[04:32] <cknox> actually, try mobiterm
[04:32] <lakmal> yes
[04:32] <lakmal> i need a visual connection
[04:32] <lakmal> i have sone
[04:32] <cknox> it has a built in X server
[04:32] <lakmal> ssh
[04:32] <lakmal> that works
[04:32] <cknox> so you ssh to your system and then just run the apps you want
[04:32] <lasko> lakmal: Well for command line I would just utilize SSH, and for visual I would use VNC because thats going to be the best option
[04:32] <cknox> sorry, mobaxterm* http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/
[04:33] <cknox> lakmal: unless you want to be able to view your screen and continue, then as lasko said vnc will be your best bet
[04:33] <esr> lasko: apt-get update was throwing messages about file mismatches.  I was reading the apt-get man page while I was waiting for a response here and found the check command. That seems to have cleared up my issues.
[04:34] <lasko> esr: Well I'm glad the issue is resolved heh.
[04:34] <lakmal> chnox: thanks, is there any thing better than VNC
[04:34] <lakmal> ?
[04:35] <le_pig> esr: thanks for bringing that up. i've often wondered what to do, myself.
[04:35] <cknox> well VNC will let you control the system as it's seen as the console. Mobaxterm will let you SSH to the system and run GUI apps...
[04:35] <lakmal> cknox: thanks , i will try that option.. are you aware with any VNC issue with Ubuntu 14.04
[04:35] <lasko> lakmal: VNC just utilizes the RDP protocol to allow you to access a devices visual terminal. All other types of applications will do that same thing and use the same protocol. VNC just has the best configuration options.
[04:36] <lasko> lakmal: But there are other options if you find VNC overwhelming
[04:36] <esr> le_pig: I love it whe n I come looking for help and end up giving it.  Feels like good karma. :-)
[04:36] <lakmal> lasko: thanks, are you aware with any VNC issues with Ubuntu 14.04
[04:36] <cknox> lakmal: to be honest I've only ever used VNC or RDP, but it's always been in a windows based environment
[04:36] <lasko> lakmal: None that I'm aware of no.
[04:37] <lasko> What particular issues are you having with VNC?
[04:37] <lakmal> lasko: please provide the other options that best suite for windows
[04:37] <lakmal> cknox: thanks
[04:38] <kgalahassa> hi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully. Here is my rdesktop.log: http://pastebin.com/UDRRusp2, and here my rsession-kgalahassa.log : http://pastebin.com/1JiuSHEw
[04:38] <lasko> lakmal: I honestly don't know any others that I could recommend.
[04:38] <lakmal> lasko: i only get the command prompt loaded .. as i ve read in google it seems to be a Xwindows issue , with how it was configured at the linux box.. but havent found a good solution.. i can login but gets only the terminal and gray brackground
[04:38] <lakmal> lasko: thanks

[06:37] <thorie> hi
[06:37] <thorie> anyone know where i can get support for ubuntu?
[06:38] <sumit> thorie what do u mean by support ?
[06:39] <thorie> i've been stuck on a problem for months now, and i need to get some professional help with my installation
[06:39] <thorie> free support isn't cutting it and i'm losing money every day this system doesn't work
[06:39] <thorie> is there a place i can get some paid support?
[06:40] <sumit> u can try putting it on freelance website
[06:41] <thorie> i thought ubuntu had some kind of commercial support?
[06:41] <thorie> from canonical?
[06:41] <sumit> yup
[06:41] <Seveas> http://www.canonical.com/services
[06:42] <thorie> i don't understand, the website shows some weird stuff about "systems management" ? i only have my one personal laptop
[06:43] <thorie> do i pay for support by the hour?
[06:43] <thorie> i don't have a desktop, server, or cloud
[06:44] <somsip> thorie: how about you say what your problem is?
[06:45] <thorie> i'm tired of trying to solve the problem myself :(
[06:45] <somsip> thorie: ok - I'm not going to persuade you to get help from here
[06:58] <LJ> anyone really here?
[06:59] <Squall5668> no, we are ~1600 bots
[07:00] <Seveas> Squall5668: looks like he believed you :)
[07:01] <thorie> yeah that answer would make me leave too
[07:02] <Squall5668> Perhaps I came across as offensive. It was a joke though.
[07:05] <lotuspsychje> users have to ask real questions
[07:06] <Seveas> they can ask imaginary questions too, but the answers will be equally fictional
[07:08] <lotuspsychje> someone knows howto gksu a firefox session on the guest user from another user?
[07:09] <lotuspsychje> i want to do the same as 'sux' does, but they removed package for security issues
[07:09] <lotuspsychje> !info sux precise
[07:10] <lotuspsychje> with sux i could do: sux firefox other-user (from current user)
[07:13] <Squall5668> lotuspsychje: can't you su otheruser first?
[07:14] <lotuspsychje> Squall5668: what do you mean?
[07:14] <gr33n7007h> lotuspsychje: doesn't su <user> /usr/bin/firefox work?
[07:14] <lotuspsychje> gr33n7007h: lemme try
[07:14] <Squall5668> lotuspsychje: pretty much that. You can use su in guest iirc
[07:14] <Squall5668> But i don't have one to check right now
[07:15] <lotuspsychje> gr33n7007h: lotuspsychje@R00TB0X:~$ su guest /urs/bin/firefox
[07:15] <lotuspsychje> No passwd entry for user 'guest'
[07:15] <lotuspsychje> guest hasnt a password at login
[07:15] <somsip> lotuspsychje: sudo -i, then su
[07:16] <somsip> lotuspsychje: of course, that could go horribly wrong if root's env variables end up in there...
[07:16] <lotuspsychje> somsip: i know there's a gksu trick somehow, but i forget how
[07:18] <Squall5668> Just reading the manpage here, but what error would 'gksu -u guest firefox' give you?
[07:18] <Sacred-Shadows> mwhahahaha
[07:19] <lotuspsychje> Squall5668: get a window: user guest does not exist
[07:20] <Squall5668> lotuspsychje: perhaps make another user and use that one to launch the firefox session?
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> Squall5668: another existing user gives me this:
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> lotuspsychje@R00TB0X:~$ gksu -u nadia firefox
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> No protocol specified
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> No protocol specified
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> Error: cannot open display: :0
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> size == 0' failed
[07:20] <Squall5668> ouch
[07:21] <htqp> if you are fine with other users creating windows on that user's X session, run:   xhost +localhost
[07:21] <lotuspsychje> htqp: yeah i think that was the trick, xhost
[07:22] <htqp> note that his can be a security issue because now others can trick the target user to believe that a window was his/her own
[07:22] <htqp> e.g. nadia can now create a browser window asking for a password
[07:22] <htqp> or displaying fake data
[07:23] <lotuspsychje> htqp: right, i guess thats why they removes sux from packages
[07:23] <lotuspsychje> htqp: because its a security flaw messing with other X
[07:24] <hillary> my ubuntu 14.04.2LTS cannot sense wireless what could be the issue
[07:24] <Squall5668> might I suggest a chroot jail instead? You could launch firefox there if you want
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> hillary: can you pastebin sudo lshw -C network plz
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> Squall5668: how does that work?
[07:25] <htqp> lotuspsychje: hm, it seems it was removed because nobody was interested in maintainig the sw https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=726544
[07:25] <hillary> lotuspyschje: ok a moment
[07:26] <lotuspsychje> htqp: so i can still grab the precise .deb of sux and use it on 14.04 safely?
[07:26] <htqp> lotuspsychje: anyway. Another solution is to create an internal window with ''Xephyr :21'' and then running ''DISPLAY=:21 firefox'' from nadia
[07:26] <Squall5668> lotuspsychje: you set up a secondary '/' to launch applications from
[07:26] <htqp> lotuspsychje: (where 21 is an arbitrary number, replace with what you want)
[07:26] <Squall5668> lotuspsychje: I'll try to find you the wiki entry, will explain it better than me :)
[07:26] <lotuspsychje> htqp: lol thats too much workaround for what i want, just want to open a session on another user of a package
[07:27] <somsip> lotuspsychje: can't you just assign a passwd to the user, then log in properly as them? SSH in as your normal user if you need to do something only you have permissions for. Reset the passwd when you are done
[07:27] <htqp> lotuspsychje: it depends on implementation factors (soname?) so it may or may not be possible, try it and see
[07:27] <gr33n7007h> somsip: yeah if he give guest a password it will work
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> sux is so easy, it will let you launch firefox on any user instantly
[07:27] <somsip> gr33n7007h: I can understand if there is a reason to avoid doing that, but it is something that can be removed later
[07:27] <hillary> lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10512115/
[07:28] <lotuspsychje> hillary: without the plz :p
[07:28] <gr33n7007h> of course
[07:28] <Squall5668> gr33n7007h: but that would defeat the purpose of a 'guest'. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot Here it is, but that's also not 'too much workaround for what i want' :)
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> ill think ill stick to sux guys tnx for brainstorming

[07:31] <lotuspsychje> !bc43 | hillary
[07:31] <lotuspsychje> !broadcom | hillary
[07:32] <lotuspsychje> hillary: check also your 'additional drivers' section before maybe there's an STA driver in there
[07:33] <hillary> lotuspsychje: checked it is there trying to enable but getting disabled
[07:33] <lotuspsychje> hillary: what happens when you try to install the driver?
[07:34] <htqp> hillary: install package firmware-b43-installer
[07:34] <htqp> hillary: then reboot and test the wifi
[07:35] <hillary> let me ask. Can i check the canonical partners cos it uncheck?
[07:36] <lotuspsychje> hillary: try the trick from htqp
[07:36] <hillary> in the software updates
[07:39] <Avihay_work> Anyone happens to know how I can add a virtual screen so that I can VNC it to another computer?
[07:41] <Avihay_work> I know I can VNC with the clip option, I know how to set a costum resolution on an output and use that, all I'm misssing is adding an output to manipulate
[07:43] <hillary> how can i stop this "Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?"
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> hillary: try a reboot
[07:43] <hillary> ok
[07:43] <Gavlois> Hello all
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> Gavlois: welcome
[07:43] <nomic> anyone here
[07:44] <nomic> can i be seen here
[07:44] <ikonia> yes
[07:44] <nomic> thanks
[07:44] <nomic> can't mount nfs anymore with xubuintu 14.04
[07:44] <nomic> is there a known problem
[07:50] <Gavlois> anyone familiar with slow wifi issues in 14.10?
[07:55] <queerty> what kind of math is involved in programming puzzles?
[08:02] <lotuspsychje> queerty: maybe the ##programming guys can answer that
[08:02] <queerty> lotuspsychje: i've been banned from there for supporting gay rights
[08:03] <ChristW> Anyone familiar with the accessibility stuff in Ubuntu? I have added Desktop Zoom for one user of our computer at home. When I move the mouse into the area where the menu entries are, and I click, the mouse moves to the left (of its own) so I can't select any menu entries.
[08:03] <lotuspsychje> queerty: well this is an ubuntu channel for support questions
[08:06] <lotuspsychje> ChristW: maybe this can help you forward? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility
[08:08] <ChristW> lotuspsychje: Unfortunately, that page doesn't show anything related to Desktop Magnification at all.
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> ChristW: ccsm and unity-tweak-tool have some settings for desktop zoom, maybe there?
[08:10] <Guest39265> do i have to worry avout someone getting my info if i encrypt my home folder? Thank you, I am new.
[08:10] <somsip> Guest39265: if you forget your password, you will lose all of your data
[08:11] <Ben64> Guest39265: probably not, but you might lose your own info
[08:11] <Guest39265> Can you direct me to a Hardware CHannel please?
[08:12]  * someone has no interest in your home folder, encrypted or not.
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> Guest39265: ##hardware
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> hillary: more luck with your wifi now?
[08:14] <hillary> lotuspsychje no
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> hillary: did you install that b43 firmware ?
[08:15] <hillary> lotuspsychje yes i did
[08:15] <lotuspsychje> hillary: you can see wifi icon?
[08:15] <hillary> lotuspsychje: and reboot
[08:16] <hillary> lotuspsychje yes but red instead of blue
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> hillary: hmm, wich ubuntu version did you have?
[08:16] <White_Cat> hello EriC^^, around?
[08:16] <hillary> lotuspsychje. 14.04.2 LTS
[08:17] <lotuspsychje> hillary: and you have a wifi hardware button on your machine somewhere that could be disabled?
[08:18] <hillary> lotuspsychje: yes by pressing it either way
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> hillary: wich brand of laptop is this?
[08:20] <hillary> lotuspsychje: compaq presario CQ20
[08:21] <lotuspsychje> hillary: maybe you should check bios if you find something about wifi 'last state' option, some wifi's can be a pain with hardware button
[08:21] <hillary> lotuspsychje: let me check bios in a moment. Iwill report back
[08:25] <ChristW> lotuspsychje: I will check tonight and perhaps post a screen capture somewhere to shwo theproblem. That makes it easier, I guess...
[08:25] <White_Cat> so I did a clean install of ubuntu server but it wont boot
[08:25] <White_Cat> I am on live cd now
[08:26] <White_Cat> I suspect problem may have to do with kernel
[08:26] <Squall5668> White_Cat: what is the error message when you try to boot?
[08:27] <rpp601> in the command 'apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)' is uname my username? or should i leave that the way it is
[08:29] <White_Cat> Squall5668 I end up in grub prompt
[08:30] <White_Cat> it doesnt doo anything beyond that
[08:31] <student> hey
[08:32] <White_Cat> linux-image-3.16.0-31-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-31-generic
[08:32] <White_Cat> I only have these two listed in dpkg --list | grep linux-image
[08:32] <White_Cat> should I not also have a versionless linux-image-generic ?
[08:34] <Squall5668> White_Cat: Well, you can go ahead and chroot in your install from the livecd
[08:35] <Squall5668> You can install any packages there and attempt to fix grub too
[08:37] <White_Cat> yeah that is what I am working on
[08:37] <White_Cat> I am not 100% sure how kernel supposed to appear /
[08:37] <White_Cat> I am only 1% confident with my abilities in regards to the kernel :)
[08:38] <Squall5668> Well, you can do that with 'mount /dev/partitionhere /mnt && mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc && mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys'
[08:38] <Squall5668> then just chroot /mnt
[08:39] <EriC^^> White_Cat: what's up?
[08:39] <White_Cat> ah yes
[08:39] <White_Cat> hello EriC^^ :))
[08:39] <White_Cat> guess what broke :p
[08:39] <EriC^^> hello :)
[08:39] <White_Cat> to be fair I did do a clean reinstall
[08:39] <EriC^^> grub?
[08:39] <White_Cat> yup
[08:39] <White_Cat> grub and ubuntu server itself
[08:39] <White_Cat> wasnt exactly planned
[08:40] <White_Cat> I just did a apt-get install linux-image-generic
[08:40] <jpds> White_Cat: Server stuff's usually better in #ubuntu-server.
[08:40] <White_Cat> I know but this is more of a grub issue
[08:40] <White_Cat> nothing really server specific
[08:40] <White_Cat> and esides I have EriC^^ here :D
[08:41] <EriC^^> hehe :D
[08:41] <White_Cat> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10512782/
[08:42] <White_Cat> thats what my kernel config looks like now
[08:42] <White_Cat> it used to only have linux-image-3.16.0-31-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-31-generic
[08:42] <lord4163> What is the thing called that asks for my password when I log in to a ssh server using a public key?
[08:42] <White_Cat> pass phrase?
[08:42] <Squall5668> passphrase?
[08:43] <White_Cat> I said it first :p
[08:43] <Squall5668> hehe
[08:43] <White_Cat> I demand a web cookie
[08:43] <White_Cat> :p
[08:43] <EriC^^> what happens when you boot?
[08:43] <White_Cat> I end up in grub prompt
[08:43] <White_Cat> I havent rebooted since I did all this kernel work
[08:43] <lord4163> Squall5668: ??
[08:43] <lord4163> Squall5668: command not found
[08:43] <White_Cat> should I update-grub for good measure?
[08:44] <EriC^^> are you chrooted right now?
[08:44] <Squall5668> White_Cat: do a grub-install and a --recheck
[08:44] <Squall5668> lord4163: What exactly are you trying to do?
[08:45] <lord4163> Squall5668: I want to log in to my servers through ssh with pubkey :)
[08:45] <lord4163> Squall5668: in i3wm
[08:46] <Squall5668> lord4163: sorry, don't know what i3wm is. But I can help with ssh keys. Have you created a pub & priv key already?
[08:46] <somsip> lord4163: possibly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Keyring
[08:46] <lord4163> Squall5668: a window manager
[08:46] <White_Cat> EriC^^ yup
[08:46] <White_Cat> that I am
[08:46] <White_Cat> I did take notes when you were helping me the past time
[08:47] <White_Cat> I even noted your for i line :)
[08:47] <EriC^^> ok cool
[08:47] <White_Cat> is there a command to list items in grub from ubuntu live cd?
[08:48] <White_Cat> I have 46 generic and 31 generic for kernels
[08:48] <White_Cat> 31 came from the setup I think and didnt boot with it
[08:49] <EriC^^> grep -A20 menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[08:51] <White_Cat> EriC^^ pastebinned it to you
[08:51] <White_Cat> also EriC^^ is EriC^ you too? :o
[08:52] <Bing0> EriC^: is the google boss
[08:52] <EriC^^> yeah ill brb in 1sec
[08:52] <White_Cat> google doesnt have a boss. You cannot google for that. :p
[08:53] <EriC^^> its a pc thats on keeps logging in
[08:54] <White_Cat> ah
[08:54] <White_Cat> I also did a nano /etc/default/grub
[08:54] <White_Cat> I did save but I am unsure if that impacts my real grub
[08:54] <White_Cat> do I need to copy it?
[08:58] <EriC^^> White_Cat, i'm back
[08:58] <EriC^^> White_Cat, so you reinstalled ubuntu?
[08:58] <White_Cat> yes
[08:58] <White_Cat> and just did  reboot
[08:58] <White_Cat> still at grub prompt
[08:59] <White_Cat> it doesnt even list kernels
[08:59] <EriC^^> ok, you reinstalled in uefi mode right?
[08:59] <lord4163> Funny, nginx just started showing the welcome page and purged my website!?
[08:59] <White_Cat> EriC^ yes
[08:59] <White_Cat> it created a partition for just that
[08:59] <White_Cat> its the first one even
[08:59] <EriC^^> ok, and the bios is set to uefi mode right?
[08:59] <White_Cat> yes
[08:59] <White_Cat> bios didnt change
[09:00] <EriC^^> ok type sudo parted -l
[09:00] <White_Cat> shoud I reboot on live cd?
[09:00] <EriC^^> are you still chrooted?
[09:00] <White_Cat> I rebooted so I am at grub prompt
[09:00] <White_Cat> I can boot back to live cd
[09:01] <EriC^^> ok, boot the live cd
[09:01] <White_Cat> this may take a short while
[09:02] <EriC^^> ok
[09:03] <White_Cat> okay ts booting on live cd
[09:04] <White_Cat> 2.5 minute boot time is ridiclous IMHO but the bios on this thing is like an os
[09:04] <White_Cat> it even boots to a variant of linux when you want to reconfigure raid
[09:05] <White_Cat> here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10512948/
[09:05] <White_Cat> EriC^^ so its less complicated now
[09:06] <EriC^^> White_Cat, ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[09:07] <White_Cat> sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[09:07] <White_Cat> sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
[09:07] <White_Cat> for i in /dev /dev/pts /sys /proc /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[09:07] <White_Cat> that?
[09:07] <EriC^^> yes, great
[09:07] <EriC^^> also type ls -ld /sys/firmware/efi
[09:07] <EriC^^> just to make sure it's booted in efi
[09:08] <EriC^^> if the dir is there then it's ok
[09:08] <White_Cat> yeah
[09:09] <White_Cat> its there
[09:09] <EriC^^> ok cool
[09:09] <EriC^^> sudo chroot /mnt
[09:09] <EriC^^> which ubuntu are you using?
[09:09] <White_Cat> ubuntu-server
[09:09] <White_Cat> 14.04.2 I believe
[09:10] <EriC^^> ok
[09:10] <White_Cat> apt-get install efibootmgr pastebinit ?
[09:10] <EriC^^> not needed i think, if you're sure you're booting in uefi mode and you get grub then it should be ok
[09:11] <EriC^^> i think you should be using the .31 kernel though
[09:11] <White_Cat> ah indeed
[09:11] <White_Cat> I can get as far a sgrub
[09:11] <White_Cat> so its kernel again? :/
[09:11] <EriC^^> why do you have a 3.16 kernel?
[09:11] <White_Cat> I honestly dont know
[09:12] <EriC^^> try to purge it
[09:12] <White_Cat> purge what? kernel in general?
[09:12] <White_Cat> like all kernels?
[09:12] <EriC^^> no just the 3.16 one
[09:12] <Squall5668> EriC^^: .2 releases come with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[09:13] <EriC^^> White_Cat, type apt-cache policy linux-image-generic
[09:13] <EriC^^> Squall5668, oh i see
[09:14] <EriC^^> White_Cat, last time i think you booted an older kernel and it worked?
[09:14] <White_Cat> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10513040/
[09:14] <White_Cat> EriC^^ yes but that was the broken ubuntu server that worked
[09:14] <EriC^^> you had the grub menu appear and chose and older one for it to work right?
[09:14] <White_Cat> this is a clean install
[09:15] <White_Cat> ah yes
[09:15] <White_Cat> this time I dont get the menu
[09:15] <EriC^^> yeah it doesn't appear if you're not dual booting
[09:16] <EriC^^> White_Cat, you could use the older kernel, and see if any newer kernels boot i guess
[09:16] <White_Cat> I can but I dont think it will boot
[09:16] <White_Cat> it didnt boot before
[09:16] <White_Cat> when I just had two items
[09:17] <White_Cat> I only had linux-image-3.16.0-31-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-31-generic
[09:17] <EriC^^> yeah i mean you could use the older one for now
[09:18] <White_Cat> I dont remember what worked :(
[09:18] <EriC^^> and when a newer kernel comes out you could see if it works or not and then have it boot by default if it does
[09:18] <White_Cat> first off I need that menu back I think
[09:18] <EriC^^> ok type nano /etc/default/grub
[09:18] <Squall5668> White_Cat: just hold shift while booting
[09:18] <EriC^^> and add a # before GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT
[09:19] <EriC^^> Squall5668, wasn't working last time he tried, * shrug*
[09:19] <White_Cat> I have that
[09:19] <White_Cat> and also for hidden_timeout quiet
[09:19] <Squall5668> EriC^^: hm...
[09:19] <EriC^^> White_Cat, did you add it yourself?
[09:19] <White_Cat> yes
[09:19] <EriC^^> did you update-grub afterwards?
[09:19] <White_Cat> yes
[09:19] <avicii> ping
[09:20] <avicii> indonesia
[09:20] <White_Cat> should I give it a second go?
[09:21] <EriC^^> White_Cat, did you add the # before HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET?
[09:21] <White_Cat> with update-grub
[09:21] <White_Cat> yes
[09:21] <EriC^^> ok, remove it and leave a # before GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT
[09:21] <White_Cat> okay, its set to true
[09:21] <avicii> respone
[09:22] <White_Cat> should i leace it as is?
[09:22] <EriC^^> yes
[09:22] <EriC^^> update-grub
[09:22] <White_Cat> okay
[09:22] <White_Cat> done
[09:22] <EriC^^> ok type exit
[09:22] <EriC^^> then reboot
[09:23] <White_Cat> rebooting
[09:23] <White_Cat> one reboot a day keeps the doctor away, as he is to busy fixing grub :p
[09:24] <EriC^^> :p
[09:25] <Bing0> EriC^^: send me some dough
[09:25] <White_Cat> or she for that matter
[09:25] <White_Cat> we really need a gender unspecific pronoun
[09:27] <hillary> I get this when i run update in my ubuntu 14.04.2LTS http://paste.ubuntu.com/10513147/
[09:27] <White_Cat> it instantly drops to grub prompt
[09:27] <White_Cat> no menu or countdown
[09:27] <EriC^^> White_Cat, i think there's an option in grub for the default option that boots the last booted one
[09:28] <EriC^^> like default=lastsomething
[09:28] <White_Cat> is there a way I can manually tell grub to boot my os?
[09:28] <EriC^^> if you set that, then if newer kernels are installed with dist-upgrade it wouldn't boot them when you restart remotely and you'd be ok
[09:29] <hillary> And still my wifi not working
[09:29] <EriC^^> and when you're on the p you can test them out and if they work you just boot into them and it boots them to next time, otherwise you'd just boot into the older one and it would keep booting it
[09:29] <White_Cat> I currently cannot boot at all, it doesnt give me the list
[09:29] <White_Cat> like it did the last time. I have no menu to select from
[09:30] <EriC^^> *pc
[09:31] <White_Cat> yeah I will like that setting but first I need to see the menu :/
[09:31] <White_Cat> or at least have the ability to boot without the live cd
[09:32] <haytham> hi guys, the cpufreq utility changes frequency back to performance shortly after i select a freq
[09:33] <hillary> Help correct this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/10513147/
[09:34] <EriC^^> White_Cat, are you still in grub?
[09:34] <White_Cat> yes
[09:34] <EriC^^> type ls
[09:34] <Bing0> hillary: thas because your ip is blacklisted
[09:34] <White_Cat> hd0 and hd1 exists
[09:35] <EriC^^> White_Cat, what partition in hd0?
[09:35] <hillary> Bing0 why?
[09:35] <White_Cat> msdos1 only
[09:35] <White_Cat> hd1 has 3 gpts
[09:36] <EriC^^> White_Cat, ok, type ls (hd1,gpt2)
[09:36] <EriC^^> see which one is your "/"
[09:36] <White_Cat> it just listed the file system
[09:37] <EriC^^> White_Cat, ok, type set root=(hd1,gpt2)
[09:37] <White_Cat> it listed more stff with .
[09:37] <White_Cat> it listed more stff with /
[09:37] <White_Cat> ls (hd1,gpt2)/
[09:37] <Bing0> do you think 400kbs is fast?
[09:37] <White_Cat> done
[09:38] <Bing0> 400KiB/s
[09:38] <feyruz> hi ubuntu suddenly forgot my installed applications
[09:38] <EriC^^> White_Cat, ok, type configfile (hd1,gpt2)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
[09:38] <Bing0> is it fast?
[09:38] <feyruz> the search box top left in unity doesnt find them anymore
[09:38] <feyruz> how can this be fixed?
[09:39] <White_Cat> EriC^^ it immidiately fell back to grub prompt
[09:39] <White_Cat> like a "clear" command
[09:40] <EriC^^> White_Cat, ok, type set root=(hd0,gpt2)
[09:40] <White_Cat> no errors though
[09:40] <White_Cat> EriC^^ done
[09:40] <White_Cat> though I tink hd0 is the backup drive
[09:40] <EriC^^> White_Cat, type ls /boot
[09:40] <EriC^^> and get the name of the kernel .31
[09:41] <White_Cat> hd0,gpt2 not found
[09:41] <EriC^^> White_Cat, sorry, i mean hd1,gpt2
[09:41] <White_Cat> it returns a blank line
[09:41] <gulzar> GIMP help. when creating new working area (file >New), and it is smaller than the screen size. the outside is white. How to remove that non-working area?
[09:41] <White_Cat> no information
[09:41] <EriC^^> White_Cat, ok, type ls /boot
[09:41] <White_Cat> yep boot is empty
[09:42] <EriC^^> White_Cat, hmm?
[09:42] <White_Cat> ls /boot reveals nothing
[09:42] <EriC^^> type ls /
[09:42] <White_Cat> lists a number of directories I am familiar with
[09:42] <EriC^^> ok, type cat /etc/fstab
[09:42] <White_Cat> lib/ run/ poc/
[09:43] <EriC^^> do you have a separate boot partition?
[09:44] <bazhang> #gimp gulzar
[09:44] <White_Cat> how can I determine that?
[09:44] <EriC^^> White_Cat, is there an entry that says UUID=sigksjdghfs /boot
[09:44] <EriC^^> or /dev/sdxY /boot ?
[09:44] <White_Cat> I have /boot/efi
[09:44] <White_Cat> and both are UUIDs
[09:45] <EriC^^> ok, no /boot though right?
[09:45] <White_Cat> no
[09:45] <EriC^^> ok
[09:45] <EriC^^> i guess you have to boot a live cd
[09:45] <EriC^^> and see what's going on
[09:45] <EriC^^> your /boot seems empty
[09:46] <White_Cat> yeah
[09:46] <White_Cat> this isnt my idea of saving disk space :)
[09:47] <EriC^^> :D
[09:47] <White_Cat> why would ubuntu install without a boot?
[09:48] <White_Cat> does it want a boot to the head?
[09:48] <EriC^^> :p
[09:49] <White_Cat> in live cd
[09:49] <EriC^^> ok
[09:49] <White_Cat> mount as usual?
[09:49] <EriC^^> same old
[09:49] <EriC^^> yup
[09:51] <White_Cat> sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[09:51] <White_Cat> sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
[09:51] <White_Cat> for i in /dev /dev/pts /sys /proc /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[09:51] <White_Cat> sudo chroot /mnt
[09:51] <White_Cat> done
[09:51] <EriC^^> ok
[09:51] <EriC^^> type ls /boot for good measure
[09:51] <EriC^^> ls -la /boot
[09:51] <White_Cat> it lists items
[09:51] <EriC^^> ok
[09:52] <White_Cat> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10513377/
[09:52] <White_Cat> this is strange
[09:53] <sheer> hello. i have a small issue i was hoping someone could help me with...
[09:53] <EriC^^> White_Cat, ok, try apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed
[09:53] <winterchillz> !ash | sheer
[09:54] <winterchillz> !ask | sheer
[09:54] <sheer> i can connect to the wireless network on my laptop and phone, but when i try on the computer...... nope
[09:54] <winterchillz> Please elaborate
[09:54] <sheer> computer being ubuntu OS, but yeah
[09:56] <EriC^^> White_Cat, maybe we were supposed to set boot=(hd1,gpt2) ? maybe grub looks for that when you do ls /boot ? that's the only thing i can think of
[09:56] <winterchillz> sheer: what happens exactly? Do you see the Wi-Fi card or the connection fails at some point?
[09:56] <White_Cat> hmm
[09:56] <sheer> it just doesn't connect
[09:57] <sheer> i don't know how to use linux so..
[09:57] <sheer> i just used the interface
[09:57] <sheer> no error
[09:57] <sheer> no connection either
[09:57] <White_Cat> EriC^^ that does make sense
[09:57] <White_Cat> I dont see why the backup is the first disk tbh
[09:58] <EriC^^> probaby a grub thing
[09:58] <White_Cat> grrrrr ub :p
[09:58] <EriC^^> hehe
[10:00] <EriC^^> White_Cat, did grub reinstall?
[10:00] <White_Cat> so what do you propose I do?
[10:00] <White_Cat> yup
[10:00] <White_Cat> without errors
[10:00] <EriC^^> ok
[10:01] <EriC^^> check cat /etc/default/grub real quick see if it didn't use another
[10:01] <EriC^^> i think it leaves it in tact and update-grub
[10:02] <White_Cat> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10513452/
[10:03] <hillary> Corrected the errors after changing servers to  http://ubuntu.mirror.neology.co.za
[10:04] <EriC^^> White_Cat, ok, looks good
[10:04] <EriC^^> White_Cat, type exit and then reboot
[10:08] <Secret-Fire> glibc=libc6?
[10:13] <White_Cat_mobil_> Eric back
[10:13] <EriC^^> wb
[10:13] <White_Cat_mobil_> Ran out of batteries
[10:14] <EriC^^> np
[10:14] <EriC^^> did it work?
[10:18] <White_Cat> EriC^^ still just grub
[10:19] <EriC^^> ok
[10:19] <EriC^^> try set boot=(hd1,gpt2)/boot
[10:19] <White_Cat> directory /boot still empty
[10:20] <EriC^^> ok
[10:20] <White_Cat> set boot=(hd1,gpt2)/boot -> then ls / returns an error
[10:20] <EriC^^> try ls /boot
[10:21] <White_Cat> error: disk '(hd1,gpt2)/boot' not found
[10:21] <White_Cat> ls
[10:21] <White_Cat> permission issue?
[10:21] <EriC^^> ok try set root=(hd1,gpt2)
[10:22] <White_Cat> ls / works again
[10:22] <White_Cat> maybe ls just lists directories?
[10:22] <EriC^^> ok, is /boot there?
[10:22] <White_Cat> boot/ is there
[10:22] <White_Cat> not /boot though
[10:23] <EriC^^> try ls boot
[10:23] <White_Cat> invalid file name
[10:23] <EriC^^> try ls /boot
[10:24] <White_Cat> blank
[10:24] <White_Cat> empty line
[10:24] <White_Cat> maybe they are hidden or something?
[10:24] <White_Cat> this makes no sense
[10:25] <EriC^^> is the whole file system there?
[10:25] <White_Cat> what do you mean?
[10:25] <EriC^^> /etc /bin /home ...
[10:26] <White_Cat> yeah /etc has stuff in it
[10:26] <White_Cat> as does bin and home
[10:26] <White_Cat> home has the new username too
[10:26] <White_Cat> the only thing vacant seems to be boot
[10:26] <White_Cat> which was there
[10:27] <White_Cat> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10513377/
[10:29] <EriC^^> ok
[10:29] <EriC^^> type ls (hd0,1)
[10:29] <White_Cat> two diectories
[10:29] <White_Cat> its the backup drive
[10:30] <EriC^^> this is odd
[10:30] <White_Cat> on many levels
[10:31] <waterboy0911> hi.. what's new in ubuntu?
[10:31] <White_Cat> bugs and bug fixes? :p
[10:31] <OpenTokix> new color scheme, white and gold
[10:31] <White_Cat> ah and features
[10:33] <mina1> ubuntu-mate-14.10-desktop-386
[10:33] <tos-1> Secret-Fire: Yes and no; Ubuntu uses the Embedded GNU C Library. So libc6=eglibc. (Since eglibc is now abandoned, Debian announced to switch back, i.e. Ubuntu might also switch back in the near future; or already has?)
[10:33] <White_Cat> EriC^^ what should I do?
[10:33] <sheer> sooo $10 to whoever gets me connected to the internet on my desktop
[10:34] <White_Cat> $10 / second of work?
[10:34] <White_Cat> if so you owe me $60
[10:34] <k1l> sheer: give more details and people will try to help without demanding money :)
[10:35] <White_Cat> yeah
[10:35] <sheer> i'm just not able to connect to my wifi network
[10:35] <sheer> idk why. i'm a complete ubuntu/linux noob
[10:35] <k1l> sheer: please pastebin the output of "lspci" and "rfkill list" into a pastebin and show the link here
[10:37] <EriC^^> White_Cat, you could try to boot from the live cd and get it's grub menu
[10:37] <EriC^^> White_Cat, try holding shift while it boots
[10:37] <White_Cat> ok
[10:38] <White_Cat> was reading https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=170764
[10:38] <White_Cat> a bbs... really?
[10:41] <White_Cat> I am on live cd grub
[10:41] <White_Cat> I can boot to live cd if you like
[10:42] <EriC^^> ok wait
[10:42] <EriC^^> press c
[10:42] <White_Cat> its the grub prompt
[10:42] <EriC^^> ok type ls
[10:42] <White_Cat> there is memdisk hd0 hd1 and hd2
[10:42] <White_Cat> memdisk?
[10:43] <White_Cat> a pretend drive for livecd probably
[10:43] <White_Cat> hd2 has gpt
[10:43] <EriC^^> cool
[10:43] <EriC^^> try ls (hd2,gpt2)/boot
[10:43] <White_Cat> empty
[10:44] <EriC^^> ls (hd2,gpt2)/ ?
[10:44] <White_Cat> various directories you would see ubuntu / has
[10:44] <EriC^^> you have 2 partitions right? fat32 the "/" and swap?
[10:44] <EriC^^> *3 partitions
[10:44] <White_Cat> efi ubuntu swap
[10:44] <EriC^^> ok
[10:44] <geirha> ls @(hd2|gpt2)/
[10:45] <geirha> oh wait, is it grub syntax? nevermind
[10:45] <k1l> i hope fat32 is not a ubuntu partition.
[10:45] <White_Cat> I think ubuntu partition is ext not fat
[10:45] <White_Cat> backup is fat for whatever the reason
[10:46] <k1l> i hope, because ubuntu doesnt work on fat becasue of the missing file permissions in fat.
[10:46] <EriC^^> White_Cat, i dont get why grub won't see /boot
[10:46] <EriC^^> it's on the same filesystem as "/"
[10:46] <White_Cat> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10512948/
[10:47] <White_Cat> yes
[10:48] <White_Cat> efi partition is fat
[10:48] <White_Cat> should I boot to live cd? and can we do that from grub menu if I can get that back?
[10:48] <White_Cat> a reboot takes 3 mins
[10:48] <White_Cat> :/
[10:48] <EriC^^> this comes to mind http://xkcd.com/724/
[10:49] <EriC^^> it doesn't make sense
[10:53] <White_Cat> booting to live cd
[10:54] <EriC^^> ok
[10:54] <hillary> Assist me with a command to completely remove LAMP in ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
[10:55] <White_Cat> http://pastebin.com/K03YhVcf done
[10:55] <EriC^^> ok
[10:56] <White_Cat> boot is populated
[10:56] <EriC^^> type sudo efibootmgr -v
[10:56] <EriC^^> it's not needed but what the heck
[10:57] <White_Cat> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10513926/
[10:57] <EriC^^> looks good
[10:57] <White_Cat> I think grub wasnt able to read the config file
[10:58] <White_Cat> thats why it wasnt able to show me a list
[10:58] <EriC^^> so we know it's not cause of your grub, cause you used the live cd grub and it didn't see /boot either
[10:58] <White_Cat> hmm
[10:58] <White_Cat> yes
[10:59] <hillary> i need to purge Lamp in ubuntu 14.04.2 the reinstall. what do i do?
[10:59] <hamed> i want to boot from live cd and format my whole drive so that i can install windows 8.1, how should i do it? my windows DVD isntaller can't identify the hard disk due to some mess i did via an uncomplete ubuntu installation and messing with partition table and so ...
[10:59] <EriC^^> hamed, use gparted to create a new gpt partition table
[11:00] <EriC^^> hamed, then boot the windows installer
[11:02] <White_Cat> EriC^^ what can I try really
[11:02] <EriC^^> White_Cat, i'd ask in ##linux about it
[11:03] <EriC^^> it's kind of odd grub doesn't see your /boot dir
[11:03] <White_Cat> okay
[11:03] <White_Cat> can you show up as well? I mean I am unsure if I can explain this as well as you
[11:03] <White_Cat> or maybe in #grub ?
[11:03] <EriC^^> yeah i'm already there
[11:05] <White_Cat> In my experience #linux hasnt been very helpful in the past
[11:05] <gr33n7007h> hamed: use dd to completely wipe it then create a fs with mkfs.ntfs
[11:05] <EriC^^> White_Cat, nah they are helpful
[11:06] <White_Cat> I asked the same question in #grub as well
[11:06] <hamed> EriC^^: do you confirm "use dd to completely wipe it then create a fs with mkfs.ntfs"?
[11:08] <EriC^^> hamed, no
[11:08] <EriC^^> hamed, no need to dd, and before creating a filesystem you need to have a partition table and partitions
[11:08] <hamed> EriC^^: i couldn't find gpt option in gparted
[11:09] <EriC^^> hamed, create new partition table or something
[11:09] <sheer> k1l: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=wfJNb2kq
[11:11] <k1l> sheer: is this a usb wifi dongle? then please pastebin a "lsusb"
[11:12] <crocket> Hi
[11:13] <crocket> I'm on ubuntu 14.04. How do I add esperanto circumflexes and use it?
[11:14] <solsTiCe> hi. I just noticed that /var/log/apt/history.log is empty. It is dated 1st mars so it has been log rotated. But I have run several apt-get command and nothing new seems to be recorded anymore!?
[11:16] <solsTiCe> I have rebooted since 1st mars too
[11:18] <night_girl> hi
[11:18] <night_girl> what is the easiest way of installing skype on ubuntu?
[11:19] <cfhowlett> night_girl, enable partner repository.  install skype.  done
[11:19] <night_girl> how do i enable partner repository from software center
[11:20] <hateball> !skype
[11:20] <cfhowlett> night_girl, "software settings"
[11:20] <night_girl> i dont see no software settings
[11:21] <night_girl> canonical partners?
[11:21] <IdleOne> yes
[11:21] <cfhowlett> night_girl, yep
[11:22] <night_girl> of its taking a long time, i guess its getting a list of the sotwares and shit as its the first time (my ubuntu is just virgin installed)
[11:22] <crocket> I finally got it.
[11:22] <cfhowlett> night_girl, this is a family friendly channel = zero profanity
[11:23] <night_girl> i am so sorry about that :(
[11:30] <niervol> hi all. How to find natty repo with ntp or .deb packege for ntp for 64-bit natty? It looks like it's not available. Which else .deb I could use? thank you
[11:30] <niervol> 11.04 natty
[11:30] <mjayk> whats the best tool for lvm snapshotting ?
[11:31] <k1l> niervol: you need to either upgrade or reinstall _asap_
[11:31] <k1l> !eol | niervol
[11:31] <Bing0> !topic
[11:32] <Bing0> did you read the message channel?
[11:41] <ashley_> yo
[11:44] <wowk> anyone?
[11:45] <daftykins> did you ask something?
[11:45] <daftykins> no you just joined. speak!
[11:48] <night_girl> hows that possible that i cant play html5/mp4 videos on firefox
[11:48] <night_girl> gosh
[11:49] <k1l> !codecs | night_girl
[11:50] <night_girl> is there a flawless way to make my ubuntu install all of these things?
[11:50] <flips> On a 14.04LTS server, it gets a lot kernel updates requiring reboots all the time. I'd like security patches for kernels, but I don't need new features as often. What's the best path? Hold a package, or remove linux-image-generic, or some other way?
[11:50] <night_girl> why do i need to read things to just install something that should already bge installed?
[11:50] <k1l> night_girl: you are not allowed to ship that with ubuntu since its a licence thingy. that is the reason
[11:51] <night_girl> kll morning ! you remember me from last night right
[11:51] <EriC^^> White_Cat, any progress?
[11:51] <night_girl> okie so what do i do now? just follow the link for freeformats installing?
[11:52] <k1l> night_girl: install the codecs for the media formats you want to play
[11:52] <night_girl> from the sotware center?
[11:54] <White_Cat> EriC^^ none
[11:54] <White_Cat> what I said in frustration seems like a good idea though
[11:54] <EriC^^> not really
[11:55] <EriC^^> you could reinstall ubuntu and use a separate boot partition maybe
[11:55] <EriC^^> it could be fixed though without doing so, it's up to you
[11:56] <bipul> Is there any tools for monitoring Mysql5.6
[11:56] <bipul> Mysql-server?
[11:57] <EriC^^> White_Cat, if you want use your swap as /boot just for testing
[11:57] <k1l> night_girl: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:57] <EriC^^> White_Cat, boot a live usb and use sudo cgdisk /dev/sda to make it a boot partition
[11:57] <night_girl> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:58] <EriC^^> White_Cat, you want to give it a shot?
[11:58] <Squall5668> KingK: what kind of monitor? If you need to monitor resources you can use top/htop, if you need to monitor queries you can log them (logging them on a high-traffic server is a bad idea)
[11:58] <night_girl> sorry
[11:58] <night_girl> thanks kll!
[11:58] <Squall5668> sorry s/KingK/bipul
[11:59] <k1l> night_girl: but gstreamer should ask you for install all the codecs needed
[11:59] <bipul> Squall5668: ?
[11:59] <bipul> Mysql-server Squall5668
[11:59] <Squall5668> bipul: what kind of monitor? If you need to monitor resources you can use top/htop, if you need to monitor queries you can log them (logging them on a high-traffic server is a bad idea)
[11:59] <night_girl> what is gstreamer?
[11:59] <night_girl> i was playign a video on firefox
[12:00] <night_girl> do u have a list of "good" software i should install on my ubuntu to make it more lively and get the most of it?? I am going to use it actively to program on c++ btw
[12:00] <k1l> night_girl: its a program that handles codecs.
[12:01] <k1l> night_girl: well. install the software you need. that depends from the users usecase that is different from user to user
[12:01] <daftykins> night_girl: just install what you need as and when, hardly worth filling up a system with unnecessary junk because someone else said they use 'x'
[12:01] <night_girl> yes but i need to discover software how can i do this?
[12:02] <night_girl> if i never knew it existed
[12:02] <daftykins> night_girl: the software centre...
[12:02] <night_girl> all right
[12:02] <k1l> night_girl: well. think about what you want to do and look out for a program that can handle that.
[12:02] <daftykins> or the splended command line tools for searching, such as 'apt-cache search'
[12:02] <daftykins> *splendid
[12:03] <night_girl> btw the canonical partners on software center only has 30 software
[12:03] <night_girl> is that normal?
[12:08] <lpaalp1> hi, how can I make sure removable media can only be mounted by my user and not others?
[12:20] <Scooty-loo> hey there, is there a way to check ubuntu repo servers' status?
[12:20] <Scooty-loo> it's really slow at the moment
[12:21] <daftykins> pick another mirror that's local to try
[12:21] <Scooty-loo> the local one tends to mess up so I go with the US one...
[12:22] <daftykins> i don't have a clue where you are so that's a tough thing to comment on :)
[12:22] <LMNOP> scotty there are a ton of ubunto mirrors
[12:22] <Scooty-loo> Hong Kong
[12:22] <daftykins> plus there is a built-in mirror tester
[12:22] <scott1> Hi guy
[12:22] <LMNOP> hi
[12:22] <scott1> anhy one experenced with ISO 27001 ??
[12:22] <daftykins> then you might want to pick something else :) international links always vary in speed
[12:23] <Scooty-loo> I manually changed it back to US since it's usually faster and less likely to be down
[12:23] <scott1> anhy one experenced with ISO 27001 ??
[12:23] <scott1> one experenced with ISO 27001 ??
[12:23] <scott1> any one experenced with ISO 27001 ??
[12:23] <daftykins> scott1: what relevance does that have to Ubuntu OS support?
[12:23] <daftykins> and why are you repeating yourself like a rude person?
[12:23] <scott1> Regarding a compliance @daftykins
[12:23] <daftykins> 'a compliance'
[12:24] <daftykins> good luck then if you're going to be vague :)
[12:24] <scott1> sorry buddy Just got stucked
[12:24] <scott1> :)
[12:24] <Scooty-loo> Well then I can only guess that there's a lot of people downloading packages atm
[12:24] <scott1> We are actually implementing some useractivity session recording application on Ubuntu Servers
[12:25] <Scooty-loo> I see
[12:25] <scott1> and as per ISO 27001:2013 and PCI Compliance
[12:25] <daftykins> Scooty-loo: no harm in trying others
[12:25] <daftykins> scott1: i think you'd be better off with #ubuntu-offtopic until you can actually come up with a specific question
[12:26] <Scooty-loo> well I'm doing some school work atm so I will just leave it in the background and be slow
[12:41] <kuldeep> i am using ubuntu 14.04 lts
[12:41] <kuldeep> i am not able to open my home
[12:41] <daftykins> via what method?
[12:42] <Luyin> kuldeep: show output of ls -l /home/youruser
[12:42] <kuldeep> in home everything is lock how can i open it
[12:42] <daftykins> explain what you mean then perhaps we can get somewhere :)
[12:43] <kuldeep> in gui when i am open my home then every folder have a icon with lock
[12:43] <opqw> kuldeep: tell the doctor what did you do to screw it up
[12:43] <Luyin> kuldeep: open a terminal and enter what I wrote above
[12:43] <opqw> that will save time to both us and you
[12:43] <kuldeep> ok
[12:44] <Squall5668> sound like you did a recursive chown in your home folder
[12:44] <kuldeep> yeah i did ls -l
[12:44] <daftykins> the ol' permissions shotgun
[12:45] <kuldeep> maybe now what i do
[12:45] <daftykins> kuldeep: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" ... "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit"
[12:46] <kuldeep> i don't think so because when i want to open any folder alert box open and say you have no valid permission to open it
[12:46] <EriC^^> that sounds like it
[12:46] <daftykins> kuldeep: can you run the two commands?
[12:46] <Luyin> kuldeep: I do think so ;) now do us the favour and run the commands
[12:46] <kuldeep> yeah sure why not
[12:47] <daftykins> it's one o' those days where it's like blood from a stone (:
[12:47] <kuldeep> send command plz
[12:47] <EriC^^> where's mosses when you need him
[12:47] <daftykins> they're above
[12:47] <daftykins> kuldeep: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" ... "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit"
[12:48] <EriC^^> tuxmoses
[12:48] <daftykins> two ^
[12:48] <daftykins> EriC^^: :D
[12:48] <daftykins> probably parting the FOSS sea
[12:48] <EriC^^> haha
[12:48] <EriC^^> :D
[12:48] <daftykins> you know those penguins and fish
[12:48]  * daftykins gets back on topic
[12:49] <EriC^^> :D
[12:49] <kuldeep> how to write permission to open it like chmod 777
[12:49] <daftykins> kuldeep: we need to see the link created by my commands first
[12:49] <Luyin> kuldeep: ANSWER THE QUESTION, srsly
[12:49] <kuldeep> ok
[12:50] <kuldeep> sudo apt-get install pastebinit" .. i run the command
[12:51] <daftykins> oh dear we've lost kuldeep
[12:52] <Luyin> I'm not sure if I'll survive the loss...
[12:52] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:52] <daftykins> hey BluesKaj
[12:53] <Krick> Dude i am unable to open music
[12:53] <Krick> in ubuntu 14.04 lts
[12:54] <Krick> they say you have no permission to open it
[12:54] <opqw> Hello, does this article about Dropbox  also apply to Ubuntu? http://www.e-siber.com/guvenlik/dropbox-accesses-all-the-files-in-your-pc-not-just-sync-folder-and-steals-everything/
[12:54] <daftykins> Krick: renaming yourself from kuldeep doesn't really help us solve the initial problem.
[12:55] <Krick> sorry don't get it
[12:55] <daftykins> Krick: so please just run the commands instructed earlier. "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit"
[12:55] <BluesKaj> Hi daftykins
[12:56] <EriC^^> i think he doesn't want us to know the names of his files
[12:56] <EriC^^> ( maybe )
[12:56] <Luyin> lol
[12:56] <McMido> hello ,i just installed phpmyadmin but its not working correctly it just shows some php codes . how to fix that ??
[12:56] <EriC^^> it's happened before here :D
[12:57] <Squall5668> not a recursive ls, it'll just print the directories and their permissions. Besides he could just paste manually and edit the names...
[12:57] <daftykins> ^
[12:57] <daftykins> so it's just down to making life hard for us to help
[12:57] <daftykins> watch the IP, i'm sure Krick / kuldeep will be back shortly
[12:58] <daftykins> perhaps it will be "i can't see my pictures" this time
[12:58] <EriC^^> nightwithmyneighbor.mp4
[12:58] <EriC^^> he's probably asking his wife if she ever chats on #ubuntu right now
[12:58] <EriC^^> lol
[12:58] <McMido> any ideas guys ??
[12:58] <daftykins> McMido: apache?
[12:59] <McMido> phpmyadmin not apache . its shown only the php script not the php site it self.
[12:59] <daftykins> EriC^^: with such neighbours i might consider moving
[12:59] <McMido> .me
[12:59] <EriC^^> lol
[12:59] <daftykins> McMido: yes but phpmyadmin is a web app, so it has to run on a web server
[12:59] <daftykins> so i'm asking which web server...
[13:00] <daftykins> McMido: are you new to web server administration?
[13:00] <McMido> oh its apahce2
[13:00] <daftykins> yay there we go
[13:00] <McMido> yes.
[13:00] <daftykins> ok did you install php and enable the module?
[13:00] <McMido> i did install the php but idk about modules
[13:01] <daftykins> ok well - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[13:01] <daftykins> seems relevant 0o
[13:02] <daftykins> "sudo a2enmod php5"
[13:02] <Ben64> McMido: is this a publicly accessible server?
[13:02] <McMido> no
[13:02] <Ben64> that's good

[13:07] <nect_> Hi guys. I want to install multiple live OSes (what is the proper plural ? ) . Would creating a couple, fitting, partitions and dd the iso files on to them and then running grub-install  on the usb do the trick ?
[13:07] <EriC^^> Luyin, yeah Drone` takes care of it
[13:07] <Luyin> ah nice
[13:07] <EriC^^> it was unopaste before that, wonder what happened to that bot
[13:08] <McMido> alright
[13:08] <daftykins> nect_: there's a nice Windows program called YUMI from pendrivelinux.com that allows loading up multiple ISOs on a single flash drive
[13:08] <nect_> daftykins: I don't have a nice windows though ;)
[13:09] <hateball> !windows | daftykins
[13:09] <daftykins> :P
[13:09] <daftykins> nect_: then there's definitely some method involving GRUB and placing the ISOs contiguously, i don't know it though
[13:10] <EriC^^> i think there was a program called multiboot or something
[13:10] <EriC^^> or two programs, and 1 was dead
[13:12] <EriC^^> anyways this covers doing it manually, should come in handy https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multiboot_USB_drive
[13:13] <MicrobeSerf> whois MicrobeSerf
[13:13] <MicrobeSerf> aaah.
[13:13] <EriC^^> this is it, i think it's still updated http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[13:14] <EriC^^> nect_, ^
[13:14] <bipul> EriC^^: But it's hard to boot with pendrive, when you are installing on VM.
[13:15] <EriC^^> i think i missed part of the conversation
[13:15] <McMido> and thats the error :D http://paste.ubuntu.com/10514939/plain/
[13:15] <hillary> the eclipse in the ubuntu software centre is old. is it adviseable i download another?
[13:15] <EriC^^> bipul, isn't he making a live usb with a bunch of different isos?
[13:16] <OpenTokix> hillary: no, learn a real editor. - If you are hell bent on eclipse, try that one - and if it misses some feature you need, get another one.
[13:16] <nect_> EriC^^ : Thank you.
[13:16] <hillary> OpenTokix ok
[13:16] <OpenTokix> hillary: Are you a java programmer?
[13:16] <bipul> I gues, a single pendrive for a single .ios
[13:16] <OpenTokix> hillary: just out of curiosity, since only java programmers I have meet is obsessed with version numbers.
[13:17] <hillary> OpenTkix ye
[13:17] <daftykins> bipul: nope
[13:17] <hillary> OpenTkix but i dont want to mess my os with other downloads
[13:18] <OpenTokix> hillary: so don't
[13:18] <hillary> OpenTokix Ok thanks for the advice
[13:18] <OpenTokix> hillary: yw, happy coding
[13:20] <ioria> hillary: try this ... is very light  :http://sourceforge.net/projects/eje/
[13:21] <hillary> ioria: Let me check
[13:22] <hillary> ioria: any best way of installing? or i have to download first
[13:22] <ioria> hillary:   just download and read the READme
[13:23] <hillary> ioria ok
[13:23] <OpenTokix> ioria: hillarious  - "light-weight" and "written in java" in the same paragraph =)
[13:23] <Squall5668> OpenTokix: please don't
[13:24] <ioria> OpenTokix,  :-P
[13:24] <opqw> OpenTokix: please bring offtopic or non-constructive discussion in #ubutnu-offtopic, thx
[13:29] <parlocosizarathu> ciao

[13:29] <parlocosizarathu> did anyone see the new ubuntu phone?
[13:29] <daftykins> you might want #ubuntu-touch

[13:30] <parlocosizarathu> didn't like
[13:33] <nitro282> ciao ragazzi
[13:33] <Bing0> caio millie
[13:33] <Bing0> ciao*
[13:34] <Bing0> non ai ragazzi qui
[13:34] <Bing0> vade via subitu
[13:35] <bazhang> !it | Bing0
[13:35] <Bing0> tell that to nitro
[13:35] <daftykins> seems they travel in packs.
[13:36] <Bing0> who?
[13:36] <bazhang> Bing0, do you have an ubuntu support question
[13:36]  * Bing0 looksup ubuntu foruns
[13:36] <Bing0> let find a good one
[13:37] <Bing0> me*
[13:37] <bazhang> Bing0, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[13:37] <Bing0> right on
[13:39] <boodllebat> i'm confusted what is this , i just performed TCP dump on my system and i saw lot of request between akamaitechnologies
[13:39] <popey> boodllebat: akamai provide cdn services.
[13:40] <boodllebat> popey: why is my tcpdump populated with so many of akamaitechnologies  requests ?
[13:40] <popey> boodllebat: depends what you're doing
[13:40] <boodllebat> popey: i'm doing nothing !
[13:40] <boodllebat> popey: just monitoring !
[13:40] <daftykins> likely would be streaming services, downloads...
[13:41] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: close yoru webbrowser
[13:41] <ioria> right
[13:41] <Myrtti> boodllebat: facebook open in your browser?
[13:42] <boodllebat> seems like browser was the problem
[13:43] <daftykins> i've got to be honest - if you're playing with tcpdump and see some traffic, having internet-based programs open... closing them is the #1 place to start.
[13:43] <ioria> use ping ,ftp or telnet or ssh
[13:44] <boodllebat> daftykins: hmm you are right
[13:47] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: Akamai does some 30% of the combined total internet traffic in the world.
[13:48] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: They are pretty  significant
[13:48] <EriC^^> illuminati confirmed.
[13:48] <daftykins> XD
[13:50] <pbx> when i'm working with git and it launches $EDITOR (emacs) the app is not foregrounded, so i have to switch to it. is there a way to make that happen automatically?
[13:50] <pbx> (it may sound like a git question but i don't *think* it is...)
[13:50] <boodllebat> can anybody tell me what is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10515334/
[13:51] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: NTP, time server
[13:51] <boodllebat> OpenTokix: why am i sending request there ?
[13:52] <ioria> to syncronize i  think
[13:52] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: Because you are running ntpd, or ntpdate to keep your clock in sync
[13:52] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: it is adviceable to keep clock in sync
[13:52] <Pici> pbx: thats not normal... vim comes up instantly for me... /me thinks
[13:52] <boodllebat> OpenTokix: thanks !
[13:52] <OpenTokix> Pici: it depends what is EDITOR is set to - and he said emacs
[13:53] <OpenTokix> pbx: graphical emacs in x11?
[13:53] <boodllebat> OpenTokix: is there any way i can tcpdump all devices which are connected to my router
[13:53] <Bing0> vim me up scotty
[13:53] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: What do you mean?
[13:53] <pbx> OpenTokix, yes.
[13:54] <OpenTokix> pbx: It is a setting your window manager, to allow "new windows to take focus" - and it depends on your window manager, and your focus settings.
[13:54] <OpenTokix> pbx: I am running XFCE4, and I have disabled "new windows take focus" intentionally
[13:54] <Pici> OpenTokix, pbx: Ah. I must have misunderstood. I thought we were talking about foregrounding the process using 'fg'
[13:54] <boodllebat> OpenTokix: i have a router i have four systems at my home they all are connected to my  router i want to monitor my brother's tcpdump is there any way ?
[13:54] <hillary> I keep getting this error "System program problem detected" ubuntu 14.04.2LTS
[13:54] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: Yes, but I wont help you spy on your brother.
[13:55] <pbx> OpenTokix, interesting.  running unity, will look for that
[13:55] <boodllebat> OpenTokix: i wont spy
[13:55] <hillary> I keep reporting and nothing is solved
[13:55] <Bing0> XFCE arguably the most honest to god no nonsensical DE ever devised
[13:55] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: Then ask your brother for root on his machine, and dump the network traffic at his interface
[13:55] <mysupper> hmm , looks like krusader without KDE installation still has same bug. It show empty screen and can't do anything. after removing config , then the normal start was possible.
[13:55] <OpenTokix> Bing0: like that sentence, I think ;)
[13:55] <mcphail> hillary: what is causing the system problem?
[13:56] <hillary> i dont know exacly
[13:56] <daftykins> boodllebat: why don't you tell us what you're *really* trying to achieve?
[13:56] <OpenTokix> hillary: check in dmesg
[13:56] <hillary> it is justing poping up
[13:56] <boodllebat> daftykins: i wanna montior all the HTTP requests going in and out via my home
[13:56] <ioria> hillay: http://www.binarytides.com/ubuntu-fix-system-program-problem-error/
[13:57] <daftykins> boodllebat: no, that's a 'how' - not a 'why' :)
[13:57] <mcphail> hillary: the dialog comes up if something has written to /var/crash/. That may give clues as to the culprit. If you don't care what is causing the problem, you can try removing everything from /var/crash and see if the dialog goes away
[13:57] <hillary> OpenTokix i run dmesg?
[13:57] <OpenTokix> hillary: open a terminal: sudo dmesg
[13:57] <OpenTokix> hillary: I am pretty sure you will find some "hung task for 120s"
[13:57] <OpenTokix> in there
[13:58] <boodllebat> daftykins: i wanna montior all requests fo security purpose , so that i can keep eye if any illegal or harmful thing is being opened or not
[13:58] <boodllebat> OpenTokix: "dump the network traffic at his interface" what do you mean by that ?
[13:58] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: log in as root on his machine, and tcpdump to a pcap file there
[13:59] <daftykins> boodllebat: yeah, that doesn't make any sense
[13:59] <daftykins> you're never going to spot every single established TCP/UDP Session :)
[13:59] <boodllebat> OpenTokix: now how can i see his traffic , my router does not contain OS i guess
[14:00] <hillary> OpenTokix yes i got chunks of text
[14:00] <boodllebat> daftykins: i can grep for content fo what i'm looking for
[14:00] <OpenTokix> hillary: did you find any "hungtask"?
[14:00]  * Bing0 likes it sounding chunky
[14:00] <daftykins> boodllebat: that leads me to believe that there is a specific thing you're still not explaining :)
[14:01] <boodllebat> daftykins: well i have to sniff a POST request
[14:01] <hillary> OpenTokix: yes
[14:01] <daftykins> 'have to' ?
[14:01] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: Are you trying to steal your brothers facebook credentials or something? - That is illegal
[14:01] <boodllebat> OpenTokix: no no no !
[14:01] <mysupper> :)
[14:01] <daftykins> to be quite honest it sounds like you're just trying to play games with your sibling/family - and that is not acceptable here.
[14:02] <Bing0> i shar my FB with all my friends
[14:02] <popey> Bing0: enough with the social commentary, you know where chat goes.
[14:02] <boodllebat> daftykins: its not a game ! it looks like a game cause description is similar that is why
[14:02] <mysupper> I should call his bro use SSL.
[14:02] <boodllebat> daftykins: its not illegal
[14:02] <jadesoturi> hi all. iv setup a vsftpd server and changed the owner of the folders to www-data user, and added my user to the www-data group and set 774 permission on the folder, but when im trying to delete the folders through an FTP client it fails.. but i can delete them over SSH, why is that?
[14:03] <daftykins> boodllebat: i never used the word illegal.
[14:03] <OpenTokix> hillary: that is the application popping up the dialog box
[14:03] <mysupper> jadesoturi, did vsftpd run as user www-data?
[14:03] <Bing0> daftykins: you just did
[14:03] <jadesoturi> mysupper, i imagine not.. :/ how do i check that?
[14:03] <thecha> how do i remove only old kernels from cli?
[14:03] <hillary> OpenTokix How do i clear it
[14:03] <Xano> Can services be run as daemons through Upstart? E.g. are they disconnected from everything and able to run indefinitely?
[14:04] <daftykins> Bing0: either ask a support question or leave, please.
[14:04] <mysupper> I guess vsftpd,conf something like that has conf in /etc/vsfts..blah..
[14:04] <OpenTokix> hillary: Clear? - What process is it?
[14:04] <boodllebat> daftykins: my router has no OS is this possible for me ?
[14:04] <mysupper> check it out.
[14:04]  * Bing0 is looking for the door
[14:04] <thecha> how do i remove only old kernels from cli?
[14:04] <hillary> OpenTokix. Not clear at all
[14:05] <daftykins> boodllebat: yes but i am unwilling to help. try ##networking
[14:05] <EriC^^> thecha, sudo apt-get autoremove might cut it
[14:05] <boodllebat> daftykins: anyspecific reason you dont wanna help me ?
[14:05] <EriC^^> thecha, check with dpkg -l | grep linux-image and manually remove the old ones
[14:05] <thecha> thank you cartman! screw you guys i am going home
[14:05] <popey> boodllebat: what you're asking sounds dodgy.
[14:05] <OpenTokix> hillary: on the line that say "hung task" it also say a binary name
[14:05] <EriC^^> ( sudo apt-get purge <old kernel> )
[14:05] <Bing0> how does a technical question sound doggy?
[14:05] <popey> boodllebat: and isn't technically an ubuntu issue
[14:06] <boodllebat> OpenTokix: my router does not support OS how does pcap file is going to help me ?
[14:06] <daftykins> boodllebat: yes, your tasks are not sensible ones
[14:06] <mysupper> I recommand not to remove old kernels. There'ssome reason why it is there.
[14:06] <OpenTokix> boodllebat: I will not discuss this further.
[14:06] <mysupper> maybe some tiny sym links..and so on.
[14:07] <EriC^^> mysupper, it's not like a stamp collection or something..
[14:07] <mysupper> why is this freenx so fast? amazing.
[14:07] <mysupper> EriC^^, right.
[14:07] <osutapu> Hello guys, I have thins problem when I try to add any repo http://pastebin.com/cK6Chu5H
[14:07] <mysupper> EriC^^, but I recommnad not to do some root behavrio not knowing the real inside.
[14:08] <jpds> mysupper: Noone uses SSL these days, the only people that do, hang out with their POODLEs.
[14:08] <osutapu> this*
[14:08] <popey> mysupper: we recommend apt-get autoremove for removing old kernels, it's a common support answer.
[14:09] <mysupper> jpds, So you mean freenx don't use SSL and not safe . right?
[14:09] <mysupper> popey, accept that.
[14:10] <osutapu> Hello guys, I have this problem when I try to add any repo http://pastebin.com/cK6Chu5H
[14:10] <thecha> s/join #trisquel
[14:11] <popey> osutapu: what version of ubuntu you running?
[14:11] <osutapu> popey: 14.10
[14:11] <popey> osutapu: is it up to date?
[14:12] <osutapu> yes
[14:12] <popey> osutapu: genuine ubuntu, not some derivative?
[14:14] <osutapu> popey: nope, xubuntu. but i deleted most of xubuntu-desktop stuff and installed cinnamon, but problem emerged after i tried to add a repo manually through 'software and sources'
[14:14] <popey> osutapu: sounds like you're missing an update as a result of removing too much stuff
[14:14] <popey> (in my opinion)
[14:14] <osutapu> nope
[14:14] <popey> nope?
[14:14] <osutapu> that's not it probably
[14:14] <Squall5668> I look away for 5 minutes...
[14:16] <popey> osutapu: just issued the exact same command here. works fine. I suspect you're missing an SSL security update, on account of you being missing the xubuntu-desktop package
[14:16] <osutapu> popey: it happened after i tried to add a repo manually through 'software and sources'. afterwards i typed in terminal sudo apt-get update - it said i require gpg key
[14:16] <popey> yes, that I would expect
[14:16] <osutapu> yeah
[14:16] <popey> bet if you "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop^" it pulls in some ssl related libs
[14:16] <popey> like python-openssl or something related.
[14:16] <osutapu> so i deleted that repo i just added, and made apt-get update.
[14:17] <popey> probably you're missing a certificate update which was sent out after a recent security vuln
[14:18] <osutapu> popey: then i try to add it properly (apt-add-repository), and this happens. it's not because of removing stuff, because i successfully added repose after removing stuff
[14:18] <osutapu> repos*
[14:19] <osutapu> although i'll try to install xubuntu-desktop again
[14:19] <popey> osutapu: hang on
[14:19] <popey> osutapu: what's the output of "apt-cache policy ca-certificates"
[14:19] <popey> should be 20141019ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> I think.
[14:20] <osutapu> it is so, yes
[14:20] <popey> ok. so not that.
[14:20] <Knight80> Hello everyone!
[14:20] <popey> osutapu: what about apt-cache policy nss ?
[14:20] <Knight80> Good afternoon from Spain
[14:21] <daftykins> Knight80: got a question?
[14:21] <osutapu> popey: Unable to locate package nss
[14:22] <Knight80> daftykins I actually do have a question
[14:22] <popey> osutapu: oh, the package name is libnss3 i think..
[14:23] <Knight80> daftykins I'm trying to watch movies stored in a remote windows machine from Ubuntu's mythtv
[14:23] <osutapu> popey: ok, i'll install it
[14:23] <popey> osutapu: bit of a guess...
[14:23] <boodllebat> hello my router is using linux but i have only access to its web interface i.e <IP_ADDRESS> on local address , i'm trying to get its shell access also i have its physical access but i dont to how get its shell or cli access
[14:23] <daftykins> Knight80: right, mythtv actually isn't anything to do with ubuntu, but the package is probably in the repos.

[14:24] <popey> boodllebat: that's not really an ubuntu problem
[14:24] <osutapu> popey: libnss3 is already the newest version, but still Unable to locate package nss :D
[14:25] <Knight80> daftykins I have already installed mythtv, but I can't set the path of the remote windows machine without getting an error
[14:25] <popey> osutapu: yeah, there is no nss, it's libnss3, so not that. Sorry, I don't know what it could be then (but I still think something is missing or not up to date)

[14:25] <tc__> How can I replace ubuntu for xubuntu?
[14:25] <daftykins> Knight80: how are you trying to access it? SMB?

[14:26] <Knight80> daftykins Yes, that's right.
[14:26] <daftykins> Knight80: i have never touched myth so i don't have a clue. i'm more familiar with Kodi/XBMC wherein smb://IP/share mounts are easy

[14:27] <osutapu> popey: and reinstalling xubuntu-desktop did not help
