[00:18] <Ben64> 5.3 what to 5.4 what
[00:18] <k1l_> version of what?
[00:18] <Bashing-om> xixi: In what ?
[00:18] <xixi> php
[00:18] <k1l_> which ubuntu exactly?
[00:18] <xixi> ive done: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-oldstable and sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:18] <xixi> 12.05
[00:18] <xixi> i mean
[00:18] <xixi> 12.04
[00:18] <xixi> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[00:18] <xixi>  libapache2-mod-php5 : Depends: apache2-api-20120211
[00:18] <xixi>                        Depends: apache2 (>= 2.4)

[00:19] <daftykins> don't paste in here.
[00:19] <daftykins> !paste
[00:19] <Ben64> xixi: if you actually need a newer version of php, it's time to upgrade to ubuntu 14.04
[00:19] <[Mew2]> hey can anyone help me with a fail2ban question?
[00:20] <[Mew2]> 2016-01-04 00:03:15,670 fail2ban.actions: WARNING [openvpn] Ban <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:20] <xixi> I don't want to go to 14.04 though
[00:20] <[Mew2]> 2016-01-04 00:03:22,682 fail2ban.actions: INFO   [openvpn] <IP_ADDRESS> already banned
[00:20] <[Mew2]> how can fail2ban see the connecting attempt after an ip has already been banned? doesnt it use the system firewall to ban, which is outside it?
[00:20] <xixi> Is there any way I can get to php 5.4 or greater
[00:20] <xixi> on 12.04?
[00:21] <Ben64> xixi: why don't you want to go to 14.04
[00:22] <xixi> I did and I felt lazy because there were some features that had changed
[00:22] <xheart> hi everyone.
[00:22] <[Mew2]> Ben64 hi
[00:22] <Ben64> xixi: doesn't make any sense
[00:22] <k1l_> xixi: there is no php5-common (= 5.5.30+dfsg-1+deb.sury.org~precise+1)    in that ppa
[00:22] <xixi> yes
[00:22] <xixi> I used ppa
[00:22] <xheart> can i create a usb stick with ubuntu 15.10 using my ubuntu 14.04lts?
[00:23] <xixi> k1l_: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-oldstable
[00:23] <k1l_> xixi: no
[00:23] <xixi> k1l_: What do I do?
[00:23] <Ben64> xixi: upgrade to 14.04
[00:23] <Flannel> xixi: You could always compile it (but this isn't a good alternative).
[00:23] <anabain> xheart, yes, you need to download the 15.10 iso image
[00:23] <k1l_> xixi: please pastebin a "grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*" in a pastebin please
[00:23] <Flannel> xixi: Those are really your options.  Upgrade to 14.04 or compile.  It's unlikely that someone has packaged php5.4+ for 12.04
[00:24] <[Mew2]> k1l_ can you tell me please? ^^
[00:24] <xixi> !pastebin
[00:25] <brill564553> fa
[00:25] <xixi> k1l_: One moment.
[00:25] <xheart> i downloaded the 15.10, how do i create the usb with 15.10?
[00:26] <xixi> k1l_: http://pastebin.ca/3316078
[00:26] <Ben64> xheart: you can use dd to write the image directly to the device, which will delete anything on the usb
[00:26] <xheart> i am not using windows
[00:26] <k1l_> xixi: you got several ppas there. that are mixing the packages now
[00:26] <xheart> i just copy/paste the file to the usb?
[00:26] <xixi> How do I remove them?
[00:26] <Ben64> xheart: no that won't work. you can use a usb creator thing, the name of which escapes me currently
[00:27] <xheart> is that "dd" on the ubuntu softwrae center?
[00:27] <xixi> k1l_: Or just clean the list up?
[00:27] <k1l_> xixi: you got the php5 and php5-oldstable
[00:27] <daftykins> xheart: it's already installed
[00:27] <k1l_> xixi: choose one.
[00:27] <xixi> php5
[00:28] <k1l_> xixi: then use ppa-purge to get rid of that oldstable ppa again
[00:28] <k1l_> !ppapurge | xixi
[00:30] <anabain> xheart, if you're using 14.04 you only have to create a bootable usb stick using 15.10 iso image. there's an app designed to do so: startup disk creator (at least this is the name on kubuntu 15.10)
[00:31] <xixi> k1l_: Can I pm you?
[00:31] <k1l_> you can ask in here. so others can help too
[00:31] <xixi> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/install-ppa-purge-with-multi-arch.html
[00:31] <xheart> i have 14.04 ok so i need startup disk creator
[00:31] <xixi> I've followed that
[00:31] <xixi> it wont let me install
[00:31] <xixi> sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
[00:31] <Ben64> xheart: you could use dd, but startup disk creator should work too
[00:32] <anabain> xheart, try writing "usb" on your pc search engine
[00:32] <k1l_> ah right, you are on that old ubuntu that doesnt ship ppa-purge
[00:32] <xheart> i see the disk creator
[00:33] <xheart> i have also an empty 8 gb usb stick
[00:33] <anabain> xheart, good, run it and follow the instructions.
[00:33] <Flannel> k1l_: 12.04 has ppa-purge
[00:33] <Guy1524> hey guys, is there a way to disable optimus so that I can use multiple monitors?
[00:33] <k1l_> Flannel: oh, right
[00:34] <anabain> xheart, then create the usb stick by selecting the iso image and the right storage device (be careful about that)
[00:34] <xheart> cool, it started
[00:34] <xheart> ok i will
[00:35] <xheart> it is kind of slow
[00:35] <xixi> k1l_: I've update my source list
[00:35] <xixi> hold on
[00:35] <anabain> xheart, you'll have to wait a minute or so, and perhaps you'll be prompted to enter your password in order to be able to install the boot loader.
[00:35] <k1l_> xixi: you dont need a ppa for ppa-purge
[00:35] <anabain> xheart, yeahm be patient
[00:35] <xheart> yes. you are correct
[00:36] <xixi> k1l_: http://pastebin.ca/3316092
[00:36] <xixi> Check that now
[00:36] <xixi> What do I do next?
[00:36] <xixi> What are those .save files?
[00:38] <xixi> http://pastebin.ca/3316096
[00:38] <xixi> I don't get why it is still doing that even thouh ppa is gone
[00:38] <k1l_> xixi: please stop
[00:39] <k1l_> xixi: you used the wrong page (not the one the bot linked) to install ppa-purge. then you have your package system messed up using multiple PPAs that refer to same packages but in differen states.
[00:39] <xixi> U removed all the PPAs
[00:39] <xixi> I*
[00:40] <xixi> I'll be on later thx guys!
[00:40] <k1l_> ok, bye
[00:40] <Guest21984> hi
[00:40] <RepThis1> asd
[00:47] <AriesClan> http://www.filedropper.com/ariesstresstester Free ddos tool
[00:52] <xheart> failed to install the bootloader on the usb
[00:54] <xheart> i see it did install a few folders on the usb
[00:54] <[Mew2]> guys can someone help me pleasE?
[00:54] <[Mew2]> have a couple different questions
[00:55] <xheart> it installed folder boot, casper, dists, install, isolinux, pics,pool, preseed, .disk, md5sum.txt and readmediskdefines. will that be enough to install 15.10 on another pc?
[00:57] <anabain> xheart, most probably not
[00:57] <daftykins> xheart: are you trying to extract an ISO's contents onto a FAT formatted flash drive?
[00:57] <xheart> i did not format the usb
[00:57] <daftykins> then what are you using?
[00:58] <anabain> xheart, it's very strange. Startup disk creator is quite safe
[00:58] <daftykins> 'install' sounds like the wrong word
[00:58] <xheart> i erased the usb and started the disk creator,
[00:58] <xheart> iif i format the usb what format should i use?
[00:58] <OerHeks> what makes you think it did not install the bootloader?
[00:58] <daftykins> FAT32...
[00:59] <xheart> i got a window saying so
[01:00] <anabain> xheart, did you enter your passwd when prompted to do so, in the middle of the process?
[01:00] <xheart> yes
[01:00] <xheart> i see it is fat32 on gparted
[01:02] <anabain> xheart, you could try formating again using gparted, just in case
[01:02] <xheart> ok
[01:02] <anabain> xheart, then repeat the process
[01:03] <xheart> i do not see where i can format it
[01:06] <anabain> xheart, you have to right-click the partition info line and then select "format"
[01:07] <anabain> xheart, btw, I assume your 14.04 system is updated
[01:07] <xheart> it is not letting me, it is grey
[01:07] <xheart> yes i am using 14.04lts
[01:08] <anabain> xheart, first you have to unmount it
[01:09] <anabain> xheart, but 14.04 has also updates, you should perform this at the terminal: sudo apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:09] <xheart> the pc i want to install 15.10 had windows but i only want ubuntu
[01:10] <xheart> this pc runs great with 14.04lts
[01:11] <xheart> ok it did format!
[01:11] <anabain> xheart, good
[01:11] <anabain> now you can wipe W$ and install 15.10
[01:13] <xheart> ok i started the process again. it is a 8gb but it only shows 7.5gb
[01:13] <anabain> xheart, anyway, it's advisable to perform updates on your 14.04 system. Many of them are security/bug related.
[01:13] <xheart> this pc says the system is up to date
[01:13] <anabain> xheart, good
[01:14] <xheart> or should i check throught the terminal?
[01:14] <anabain> xheart, don't worry about the 7.5gb
[01:14] <xheart> ok
[01:14] <anabain> xheart, it's normal. Formatted drives show less space.
[01:15] <anabain> xheart, if your system says it's up to date, then you should trust it.
[01:15] <anabain> xheart, but you can always check it at the terminal
[01:15] <QuestionMark> hi
[01:16] <anabain> xheart, anyway, now you can try again the startup disk creator
[01:17] <xheart> now it says Could not read from /tmp/tmp0oa9pe1k
[01:17] <QuestionMark> i'm install brother hl 1112 laser printer, i can see the printer in the print manager, but the printer make only white paper
[01:17] <Bashing-om> xheart: anabain md5sum the .iso ?
[01:18] <xheart> An uncaught exception was raised:
[01:18] <xheart> [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/media/xheart/799A-EA12/casper'
[01:18] <anabain> Bashing-om, you're suggesting the image is corrupted or not properly downloaded
[01:18] <anabain> ?
[01:19] <Bashing-om> anabain: Possible, never hurts to check .
[01:24] <xheart> i started the install again on the usb stick 20% completed
[01:24] <anabain> Bashing-om, and where's the md5sum to check against?
[01:25] <EriC^^> !hashes
[01:25] <daftykins> it's not an install
[01:26] <Bashing-om> anabain: All of them from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes .
[01:27] <anabain> Bashing-om, s/he'll need to check this: http://releases.ubuntu.com/wily/MD5SUMS  right?
[01:28] <blahdeblah> Any charm authors here?  What's the name of the API that charms.reactive uses to send data between layers?  Is it charms.reactive.bus?
[01:28] <Dylan____> Hey guys
[01:29] <zacckthemenace> Hello  people
[01:29] <zacckthemenace> my screen flickers after a 15.10 install
[01:29] <zacckthemenace> can anyone help
[01:30] <Bashing-om> anabain: "md5sum </path/file.iso> "
[01:30] <daftykins> zacckthemenace: fully updated? what graphics hardware?
[01:31] <anabain> xheart, let's check if you've downloaded a proper iso image for 15.10. Open this link on your browser:  http://releases.ubuntu.com/wily/MD5SUMS
[01:31] <Bashing-om> anabain: The result of the command as compared to your link http://releases.ubuntu.com/wily/MD5SUMS .
[01:31] <anabain> Bashing-om, yeah, thanx
[01:32] <xheart> it just said system policy .... i entered the password and cancelled the installation
[01:32] <anabain> xheart, you mean the process has been aborted when entering your password?
[01:33] <xheart> yes
[01:35] <Li> how to make vivid beep when battery charge rich 10%
[01:35] <anabain> well, in that case you could burn the iso image to a dvd, or use the dd command at the terminal. Perhaps you're having trouble because of a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1446646
[01:36] <SuperDuck> hmm
[01:36] <anabain> xheart, I'm not sure, but you'll save time if you try another method
[01:37] <xheart> true, i do not have a dvd burner
[01:37] <xheart> only cd burner
[01:38] <anabain> xheart, in that case you can try what is said in comment #11 in the link about the bug
[01:38] <MooseGuts> Hi I am having some trouble getting sound to work on my toshiba chromebook 2.
[01:38] <xheart> ok. thank you for help, we tried.
[01:38] <zacckthemenace> part
[01:39] <MooseGuts> Like the files play but no sound come out.
[01:39] <MooseGuts> I plug in headphones and I get static/garble.
[01:39] <daftykins> is it actually ubuntu on the chromebook or something like chrubuntu / chroot methods?
[01:39] <MooseGuts> This is native not chroot
[01:40] <MooseGuts> Pure regular ubuntu. Not chrubuntu.
[01:40] <Tojil> nice, I'm back
[01:40] <MooseGuts> I followed. A tutorial for getting sound to work and it still doesn't work.
[01:40] <MooseGuts> Which included grabbing some intel firmware and an asound.state file.
[01:41] <anabain> xheart, be *extremely* careful about determining the /dev/sdX . Make sure that you choose the one that matches your actual USB stick. If you get it wrong, you'll ruin all data on the mistaken device. You've been warned.
[01:41] <MooseGuts> I think the asound.state file must be for a different model of toshiba chromebook 2. Mine is cb35-b33330
[01:42] <MooseGuts> xheart: on the commandline run lsblk without the usb stick, insert the stick and run lsblk again. The change will reflect what your stick is called.
[01:43] <anabain> MooseGuts, he has left!
[01:43] <MooseGuts> aww. Well anyone want to help me get sound working?
[01:43] <MooseGuts> I can play cmus all day long and watch the song play but hear silence.
[01:43] <MooseGuts> And no its not muted.
[01:44] <anabain> anabain, sorry, no idea.
[01:44] <anabain> MooseGuts, sorry, no idea.
[01:46] <MooseGuts> Anyone else have any idea?
[01:47] <Bashing-om> !sound | MooseGuts
[01:48] <MooseGuts> I have done that so far. Verified nothing is muted in alsamixer and pavucontrol. I can see that the file is playing just fine but not a peep comes out.
[01:49] <daftykins> aplay used to have a speakertest prog to test your outputs
[01:49] <MooseGuts> I am on a baytrail chipped intel chromebook made by toshiba..
[01:49] <MooseGuts> Silence on the aplay test.
[01:50] <daftykins> you have to select a given output
[01:50] <daftykins> listed via aplay -L or -l
[01:50] <daftykins> audio isn't really my thing...
[01:51] <MooseGuts> It detects the card.
[01:51] <MooseGuts> and the hdmi card.
[01:52] <MooseGuts> but no sound plays.
[01:52] <MooseGuts> Have tried alsa force-unload force-reload etc
[01:55] <Li> how to make vivid beep when battery charge reaches 10%?
[01:56] <daftykins> something acpi related (:
[02:10] <Eirikr> hello all :) I just now changed the driver from the open-source ati driver to fglrx (in an attempt of speeding up things a bit) and then realizing it wa a bit slower i changed back to the open source graphics driver and now everything is suuuuuuper slow! what can i do?
[02:10] <daftykins> confirm your method of switching - also what is your test for defining speed?
[02:12] <Eirikr> @daftykins method of switching was with the additional drivers application that follows and the test was to check if the slowness (and jaggyness) of firefox had something to do with the graphics driver
[02:12] <Eirikr> rebotted twice
[02:14] <daftykins> ok so desktop effects and so on
[02:14] <daftykins> well, you can double check with "sudo apt-get purge fglrx* " but i doubt any change will occur
[02:14] <uchiha> oi
[02:14] <uchiha> hi
[02:15] <Eirikr> no .. .not installed so not removes
[02:15] <Eirikr> removed*
[02:15] <uchiha> lol
[02:17] <uchiha> Moshi Moshi
[02:17] <Eirikr> any further clue?
[02:18] <Eirikr> on 15.10 btw
[02:19] <daftykins> /var/log/Xorg.0.log might help
[02:20] <Eirikr> not so crafty i can figure out that one, can you have a look at it?
[02:21] <daftykins> throw it on paste.ubuntu.com
[02:22] <Eirikr> thanks http://paste.ubuntu.com/14396335/
[02:24] <daftykins> oh wow yeah, FBDEV is in use because radeon isn't working
[02:26] <rodarmor> How can I install python2 on Ubuntu 15.10?
[02:27] <uchiha> '-'
[02:28] <Eirikr> so physical error?
[02:29] <daftykins> Eirikr: do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[02:29] <Eirikr> no
[02:32] <daftykins> Eirikr: anyway something has disabled modesetting so fglrx's damage has not been undone
[02:32] <daftykins> i'm struggling to find an answer however
[02:34] <Dylan____> Excuse me
[02:34] <Dylan____> Can someone help me
[02:35] <Eirikr> ok.. im also reading about it as we speak
[02:35] <Eirikr> about modestting i mean
[02:35] <Dylan____> I keep getting annoying cut outs on my driver i believe i think its because of my nvidia drivers my firefox always lags and its never responds causing me to shut down my laptop
[02:36] <daftykins> Eirikr: you definitely ran my earlier purge command with the * after fglrx right?
[02:36] <daftykins> sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
[02:37] <Eirikr> no.. did not see the * but doing it now.. sorry
[02:38] <daftykins> no problemo
[02:39] <Eirikr> done deleting stuff will reboot and come back

[03:08] <jvava> 不知道怎麼回事兒，我的輸入法總是顯示繁體字，請問怎麼能改回簡體字呢，我的系統時debian jessie, fcitx
[03:08] <OerHeks> jvava, english only please, you find jessie support in #debian
[03:11] <jvava> ok, OerHeks, but i cant describe my question in english, and i know they who know chinese like stay here, #ubuntu
[03:12] <OerHeks> try #ubuntu-cn for chinese
[03:12] <jvava> ok, thanks you
[03:12] <OerHeks> yw
[03:14] <jvava> and i resolve it by press ctrl+shift, just because i use an improper im before.
[03:23] <regedit> do any of you have /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/MokManager.efi ? if not, why do i? is it safe to delete?
[03:24] <regedit> i used to not have this option in my Grub menu, but a boot-repair threw it in there
[03:41] <[Mew2]> how do i view all processes that are running with root/sudo privelidges?
[03:42] <piedcipher> [Mew2] ps -U root
[03:43] <[Mew2]> thanks piedcipher
[03:44] <piedcipher> [Mew2] might be ps -u root, I think "U" is for user ID while u is for username
[03:45] <EriC^^> [Mew2]: according to the man page, ps -U root -u root u
[03:45] <EriC^^> shows it for both real and effective user id
[03:46] <piedcipher> Than EriC^^
[03:46] <piedcipher> *thanks
[03:46] <[Mew2]> thanks EriC^^
[03:46] <EriC^^> no problem
[03:49] <regedit> EriC^^: would you mind checking real quick?
[03:49] <regedit> for (default) existence of /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/MokManager.efi ? if you dont have it, why do i? is it safe to delete?
[03:50] <regedit> i suspect it might be boot-repair's unwanted contribution
[03:50] <EriC^^> no that's standard
[03:50] <regedit> oh its always there? hm
[03:50] <EriC^^> yeah
[03:51] <regedit> so what did boot-repair do to stick it my grub menu, and how can i undo that?
[03:51] <EriC^^> what's the problem anyways?
[03:51] <EriC^^> that'd be the xx_custom file it added to /etc/grub.d
[03:51] <regedit> it did so twice actually, with different capitalizations
[03:51] <EriC^^> i've seen it lately add like 10 efi entries and whatnot sometimes
[03:51] <regedit> EriC^^: just annoying grub clutter...
[03:51] <regedit> ah see exactly
[03:51] <regedit> so its a known issue then
[03:52] <[Mew2]> hmm i have like 40 processes running as root on a fresh install
[03:52] <EriC^^> well i saw it with a user or 2 i think recently
[03:52] <OneM_Industries> Hey, anyone know of a program that I can use to stress/test my GPU?
[03:52] <OneM_Industries> I am beginning to suspect that it may be wobbling on the edge.
[03:52] <EriC^^> [Mew2]: ps -U root ... | wc -l gives me 156
[03:53] <[Mew2]> ok so its normal then, thanks
[03:53] <piedcipher> OneM_Industries try this: yes > /dev/null &
[03:53] <OneM_Industries> Sigh.
[03:54] <OneM_Industries> GPU, not CPU.
[03:54] <piedcipher> whoops, sorry
[03:55] <regedit> EriC^^: ok what is there by default in this xx_custom? i have 4 (2x duplicates) in there now
[03:55] <OneM_Industries> I actually kind of hope it is a bit wobbly, as I have been wanting a new one for a while.
[03:55] <piedcipher> OneM_Industries try GpuTest: http://www.geeks3d.com/20121113/gputest-0-2-0-cross-platform-opengl-benchmark-furmark-lands-on-linux-and-os-x/
[03:59] <regedit> EriC^^: is it safe to remove those menuentries from that file?
[04:00] <yuken> So, going about making my own distribution of Ubuntu; not sure if I can discuss this here. How would I do so?
[04:00] <lotuspsychje> !info remastersys | yuken
[04:00] <Ivoah2> I've just installed Ubuntu 15.10 on my MacBook Pro, and the screen backlight keys don't do anything.
[04:01] <OneM_Industries> Ouch.
[04:02] <OneM_Industries> Well, that was highly informative and sad.
[04:02] <OneM_Industries> So, my GPU has the power of a pile of wet noodles.
[04:02] <regedit> you should have stayed with the expensive company Ivoah2
[04:02] <regedit> jk
[04:02] <EriC^^> regedit: it depends what it's doing
[04:02]  * regedit not being helpful
[04:02] <EriC^^> regedit: upload /boot/grub/grub.cfg and /etc/grub.d/*_custom
[04:03] <EriC^^> *_custom files aren't there by default
[04:03] <regedit> EriC^^: what might be a command to output all that (to pastebinit) in one go?
[04:03] <regedit> some magic cat command must exist..
[04:03] <EriC^^> cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg /etc/grub.d/*_custom
[04:03] <EriC^^> cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg /etc/grub.d/*_custom | pastebinit
[04:04] <regedit> nice, leme try that
[04:06] <regedit> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14396943/ i believe line 323, 345, and 350 are the custom concats
[04:08] <EriC^^> regedit: what do you use to boot ubuntu right now?
[04:09] <regedit> EriC^^: the regular Ubuntu option all the way on top, sometimes i enter the 2nd option menu for fun or recovery. i even used the memtest a fw times. i'm just annoyed at these other ones that appeared
[04:09] <EriC^^> ok, type sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/25_custom
[04:09] <EriC^^> then update-grub
[04:10] <regedit> EriC^^: is it terrible if i move it out of that folder altogether? i've been trying to (backup, but) remove all the trash remining from removing windows and repairing ubuntu
[04:11] <EriC^^> it's ok
[04:11] <regedit> k...
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> Yuken: there are few packages to make own ubuntu distribution, remastersys and i forgot the other one
[04:15] <Ivoah2> so, does anyone have any idea why I can't change my backlight?
[04:16] <malimbar> Ivoah2, driver issue is my first guess. Well, my second, the first is that you have a wierd setting somewhere
[04:22] <[Mew2]> why is it better to use ports below 1024?
[04:22] <lotuspsychje> [Mew2]: ask the ##networking guys whats reccomended mate

[04:29] <xixi> How do I do that?
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> !ppapurge | xixi

[05:30] <ForSpareParts> I installed the fglrx drivers (using the Additional Drivers menu) and then reverted to radeon — now my display is locked at a low resolution, and it’s identified by Ubuntu as a “built-in display.” Anybody know how to fix this?

[06:11] <jay_> hi
[06:13] <cfhowlett> jay greetings. ask your ubuntu questions
[06:28] <Dylan____> Sup
[06:33] <azuri5> is there a particular reason why ubuntu 14.04.3 shows 15.04 (and not 15.10) as the latest normal upgradable version?
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> azuri5: its not reccomended to upgrade LTS to non-lts
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> azuri5: clean install if you want to switch
[06:34] <cfhowlett> azuri5, direct answer: 15.40 is the next upgradeable version from 14.04.  if you want 15.10 from upgrade you must do 15.04 first.
[06:34] <azuri5> @lotuspsychje okay
[06:37] <fateme> Hi every one, what is at-spi at linux mint and what is usage?
[06:38] <rww> !mintsupport
[06:39] <TheSilverSentine> Paladin1
[06:39] <Flannel> cfhowlett, azuri5: No, that's not correct.  One must go through 14.10 to get to 15.04.  You can't just go 14.04 to 15.04.  (But you will be able to go 14.04 directly to 16.04 when it's released in April)
[06:39] <cfhowlett> Flannel, doh!  right.  sorry for misinformation.
[06:39] <fateme> i have process: usr/lib/at-spi2-core/at-spi-bus-launcher
[06:40] <cfhowlett> azuri5, and as has been suggested: LTS only is the way to go for most people.
[06:40] <rww> fateme: ask Mint's support channel. they are not us.
[06:40] <Flannel> cfhowlett, azuri5: and 14.10 is EOL, so there's some minor manual tweaking required there to get onto/off of it.
[06:41] <azuri5> LTS has *really* old versions for some packages, but i understand that is by design
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> !latest | azuri5
[06:42] <cfhowlett> azuri5, bleeding edge = bloody edge.  Absent a very specific need for the latest, greatest shiny package, stick with LTS for far fewer headaches.

[07:05] <Ben64> Dylan____: stop using enter so often
[07:05] <cfhowlett> !server | vivek_ ask the server channel
[07:05] <somsip> Dylan____: gba is?
[07:05] <Dylan____> Yeah
[07:05] <Ben64> somsip: piracy
[07:05] <somsip> Ben64: that's where I was going...
[07:05] <Dylan____> Well if its piracy then
[07:05] <Ben64> oh i thought you were actually asking
[07:05] <Dylan____> Why is it in the software center
[07:05] <Dylan____> ??
[07:06] <somsip> Dylan____: often, with emulators, distributing the emulator is fine, but distributing copyrighted ROMs is illegal
[07:06] <Dylan____> Hmm ok
[07:06] <somsip> !illegal | Dylan____ (so this applies)
[07:06] <Dylan____> Ah ok
[07:06] <Dylan____> Right :(
[07:06] <Dylan____> Sorry for wasting valueable time
[07:15] <repozitor> is there any idea why my firewall doesn't work?
[07:15] <repozitor> i installed firewall-cmd and now it's status is running, rules are fine
[07:15] <repozitor> but some denied port are open from outside of server
[07:16] <xixi> Hi I recently went from apache 2.2 to apache 2.4 (in the ubuntu 12.04 -> 14.04 upgrade). Now the Allow Overrides (cutting off .php) are no longer working. Does anyone know how to change it to make it work in your website.com.conf in the sites-enabled?
[07:16] <repozitor> for example nmap show me 587 is open, but i expect firewall-cmd should deny it
[07:18] <xixi> I use to be able to do www.website.com/test (instead of www.website.com/test.php)
[07:19] <xixi> Anyone have any idea or dealt with this?
[07:20] <somsip> xixi: paste the conf - use pastebin
[07:23] <xixi> somsip: http://pastebin.com/hNdXNUPW
[07:23] <xixi> It worked on 12.04 (apache 2.2) but doesn't work on 2.4
[07:25] <somsip> xixi: you need "Require all granted" in your Directory tag, and better to explicitly use <Directory /var/www/website.com> in your VM conf and leave the higher level directives in apache2.conf
[07:25] <xixi> okay and this will allow it to be /page not /page.php
[07:25] <xixi> ?
[07:26] <somsip> xixi: no, that will allow your .htaccess file to work. That should redirect from *.php to $1
[07:26] <xixi> okay :D
[07:26] <xixi> lemme try

[07:40] <cfhowlett> !uck  ankitkulkarni
[07:40] <cfhowlett> !uck | ankitkulkarni
[07:41] <cfhowlett> ankitkulkarni, also: use the torrents not direct download
[07:42] <ankitkulkarni> thanks a lot . But would i be able to put my own config files to in it using uck ? Say i want nginx + ROR pre installed and configured with my app running on it ?
[07:42] <cfhowlett> ankitkulkarni, Never used UCK but I understand that you can indeed do that type of customization.  are you deploying to multiple devices??
[07:42] <ankitkulkarni> yes
[07:43] <cfhowlett> ankitkulkarni, alternatives: set up your own local mirror, also look into pxe installation
[07:43] <ankitkulkarni> I have a device on which i have to install it with lot of network and app settings
[07:44] <cfhowlett> ankitkulkarni, suggestion you ask your scenario in #ubuntu-server.  I suspect they would have more experience with this
[07:45] <ankitkulkarni> thanks a lot @cfhowlett

[07:51] <xixi> hi
[07:51] <annom11010010> i've installed lubuntu from iso image disk
[07:51] <annom11010010> but now i want to switch to gnome desktop
[07:52] <annom11010010> is 'sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop' is enough?
[07:53] <xixi> What dist of lubuntu?
[07:53] <annom11010010> 15.10
[07:53] <xixi> sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[07:53] <xixi> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop
[07:54] <annom11010010> my download for 'sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop' is going on
[07:54] <annom11010010> will i cancel it?
[07:54] <xixi> It should be enough
[07:55] <xixi> You did a update/upgrade before right?
[07:55] <annom11010010> yes
[07:55] <xixi> You should be ok
[07:55] <annom11010010> ok then...thanks
[08:14] <Guest33636> Hello there. I am on a computer which is connected to router through ethernet cable. To use internet on this computer, i have to type "sudo dhclient eth0" command in terminal. Otherwise internet won't work. The network manager that can be seen in upper left corner of screen is not there. How do i get it back so that my computer automatically connects to internet and i don't have to type the command on every restart ?
[08:15] <Guest33636> I think in the past i disabled this network manager from startup by some method. How do i get it back?
[08:17] <llldino> Typing "nm-applet" should get the icon back in your panel...I think
[08:18] <llldino> I know for me going into Settings Manager > Session Startup .. or something like that, and then enabling Network in the Application Autostart might get your network icon back on reboot permanently
[08:19] <llldino> I wish I could help more, I haven't used Ubuntu in ages!
[08:19] <lotuspsychje> Guest33636: maybe start from the beginning, ubuntu version? network card chipset? and what did you do to disable network before?
[08:23] <rodney77> hello, I'm on normal ubuntu 14.04 but I want to install the realtime kernel. Can someone point me to a PPA or deb?
[08:23] <cfhowlett> rodney77, why?
[08:23] <somsip> !mainline | rodney77
[08:23] <rodney77> cfhowlett, because i'm running reaper over wine and I want to try to get my latency down without getting xruns in jack
[08:24] <cfhowlett> rodney77, makes sense then.
[08:24] <rodney77> cfhowlett, but i don't want to run a dedicated distro. anyway i can't find a repo anywhere for realtime
[08:25] <cfhowlett> rodney77, fwiw: ubuntustudio has RT kernel by default.
[08:25] <cfhowlett> https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
[08:26] <cfhowlett> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel
[08:26] <rodney77> cfhowlett, maybe i can add ubuntustudio's kernel? I thought about adding ubuntustudio repos but then it would try to upgrade a bunch of other stuff
[08:26] <cfhowlett> rodney77, and you do NOT want the upgrade?!  :)  but yes.  wait one
[08:28] <cfhowlett> you can sudo apt install the low-latency kernel of your choice without changing repos  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14397990/
[08:29] <rodney77> thanks cfhowlett, but that's the lowlatency kernel, not the realtime kernel
[08:30] <pasha> hi ev
[08:30] <cfhowlett> rodney77, see the ubuntstudio link I sent you for -rt kernel
[08:32] <rodney77> thanks cfhowlett, but on that link, under 'kernel repositories', it shows only a bitbucket link: https://bitbucket.org/thismaechler/ubuntustudio-14.04-realtimeaudio/
[08:32] <rodney77> now, the optimization script there looks excellent and i would love to use it
[08:32] <rodney77> but that assumes you already have the realtime kernel installed
[08:32] <cfhowlett> rodney77, that's the only one I know of.  might ask in #ubuntustudio or #opensourcemusicians
[08:33] <rodney77> actually, cfhowlett, it says here that there's a pre-compiled kernel available in this repo
[08:33] <gcfhvjbkn> trying to load into grub on 14.04
[08:33] <cfhowlett> rodney77, I'm looking
[08:33] <gcfhvjbkn> i hold shift all the time before ubuntu starts loading
[08:33] <gcfhvjbkn> doesnt work for me
[08:34] <cfhowlett> !grub | gcfhvjbkn
[08:34] <rodney77> ok cfhowlett, i downloaded the repo and the kernel is definitely in here as a deb
[08:35] <rodney77> so this is great! thanks so much!
[08:35] <cfhowlett> rodney77, happy2help!
[08:37] <gcfhvjbkn> cfhowlett: ok so grub won't give me a chance to "invoke" it unless i configure it to appear for a given number of seconds?
[08:37] <gcfhvjbkn> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
[08:38] <cfhowlett> gcfhvjbkn, by default, grub goes to zero display.  you can edit that if you choose
[08:38] <gcfhvjbkn> this page says you can "force" load grub by pressing shift at a point
[08:38] <cfhowlett> "time out" = 0 is the technical term IIRC
[08:38] <cfhowlett> gcfhvjbkn, grub IS loading, it is just doing so invisibly
[08:38] <gcfhvjbkn> ok, this is uncomfortable because i lost access to my system so i cannot edit grub settings
[08:39] <gcfhvjbkn> only if i boot with livecd (maybe)
[08:39] <gcfhvjbkn> you sure there's no other option?
[08:39] <cfhowlett> gcfhvjbkn, only what I've read in the wiki
[08:41] <stangeland> Hi, i have 2 disks mounted via the ubuntu auto-mounting system, but when i try to list files on the disks i just get permission denied. How do i change permission such that files are available to read and write for all users?
[08:41] <llldino> Do you have access to another os? If so all you gotta do is edit the grub configuration file fount at /etc/default/grub
[08:41] <gcfhvjbkn> well i can read too..
[08:42] <llldino> * @gcfvibkn
[08:43] <Newbie101_> Hello I tried installing Unbound DNS and now I can't access the internet. How can I revert back to the default DNS configuration ?
[08:43] <llldino> strangeland: What do you get when you type "ls -al /path/to/mouned/drives"?
[08:43] <cfhowlett> Newbie101_, purge unbounddns?
[08:43] <Ben64> Newbie101_: undo what you did
[08:44] <gcfhvjbkn> * @gcfvhjbkn
[08:45] <gcfhvjbkn> llldino: i read that there is a way to make grub show itself by pressing shift; i might have misunderstood this maybe?
[08:45] <gcfhvjbkn> if so i'll stop trying and go find livecd
[08:45] <Newbie101_> Ben64, I tried but its not working...the reason I am here...
[08:46] <Ben64> Newbie101_: well what exactly did you do
[08:46] <llldino> gcfhvjbkn: I've read that somewhere too, honestly I've never been patient enough to figure out why it won't work for me, instead I just set an option to have GRUB always show
[08:47] <gcfhvjbkn> ok, thanks
[08:47] <llldino> np
[08:47] <Newbie101_> Ben64, I installed Unbound DNS following the instructions on their website not working. I deleted the Unbound files and still not working after a reboot
[08:49] <Newbie101_> Ben64, what command line I can use to see the status of my DNS config ?
[08:49] <cfhowlett> Newbie101_, #ubuntu-server might just know more.  https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/dns.html
[08:50] <Newbie101_> cfhowlett, thank you
[08:50] <cfhowlett> Newbie101_, best of luck
[08:51] <Ben64> Newbie101_: installed how
[08:52] <Newbie101_> Ben64, Using the terminal apt-get install unbound after getting from the repo...
[08:53] <Ben64> Newbie101_: you know, this would be way easier if you would tell me EXACTLY what you did
[08:55] <Newbie101_> Ben64, I am sorry, I installed a few months ago and I don't remember exactly how I did it. That is the problem. I am trying to learn so its hard to actually rember what I do because I have no clue...
[08:55] <Newbie101_> Ben64, I get this : dig google.com  ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.5-Ubuntu <<>> google.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[08:56] <n2it01> hi
[08:57] <cfhowlett> n2it01, greetings.  ask ubuntu questions.
[09:06] <Newbie101_> Ben64, I uaed this : http://ubuntuserverguide.com/2012/10/how-to-installing-and-configure-unbound-on-ubuntu-server-12-04.html
[09:06] <ikonia> who writes these urls ???
[09:06] <ikonia> if you're going to write documentaiton why would you not put it on the official wiki rather than these dubious 3rd party sites
[09:07] <guest> are you really that naive ikonia? :P
[09:08] <guest> A click to the Ubuntu wiki isn't a click to joe's blogg
[09:09] <Ben64> Newbie101_: sudo apt-get purge unbound; sudo service dnsmasq restart
[09:11] <Newbie101_> Ben64, thank you for your help. For the second command line : bob@bob-machine ~ $ sudo service dnsmasq restart dnsmasq: unrecognized service
[09:13] <Ben64> Newbie101_: eh thats what i figured
[09:14] <Newbie101_> Ben64, Ok, I did get this mesage forthe first command line : Removing unbound (1.4.22-1ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>) ...  * Stopping recursive DNS server unbound                                 [ OK ]  Purging configuration files for unbound (1.4.22-1ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>) ... dpkg: warning: while removing unbound, directory '/etc/unbound' not empty so not removed Processing triggers for man-db (<IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntu1) ...

[09:20] <ddustudent> hi
[09:20] <cfhowlett> ddustudent, greetings.  ask ubuntu questions
[09:21] <ddustudent> will i be able to install Ubuntu on mac without any issues?
[09:22] <ddustudent> i know it is possible but just wanted to confirm
[09:22] <lotuspsychje> !mac | ddustudent
[09:22] <lotuspsychje> ddustudent: i think it depends with ubuntu version/mac version/hardware
[09:22] <ddustudent> thank you | ubottu
[09:23] <cfhowlett> ddustudent, or you *could* torrent the ubuntu .iso, make a bootable USB and test it for yourself?
[09:25] <lotuspsychje> hmm nice, seems like that mac guide has been updated
[09:26] <cfhowlett> bout damn time ...
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> :p
[09:28] <Tomiii> Hello, why isnt "intel-microcode" included by default?
[09:28] <Tomiii> https://wiki.debian.org/Microcode
[09:28] <Tomiii> https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/microcode
[09:29] <Tomiii> it seems helpful!
[09:33] <Newbie101_> Ben64, what should be my next action ? apt-get install dnsmasq ?
[09:33] <cfhowlett> !debian | Tomiii,
[09:34] <Ben64> Newbie101_: no, it might work now
[09:35] <Newbie101_> ok, you mean the DNS should resolve ?
[09:35] <Tomiii> cfhowlett: do you update ur microcode?
[09:35] <cfhowlett> Tomiii, never seen the need
[09:35] <Newbie101_> Ben64, ok, you mean the DNS should resolve ?
[09:35] <Tomiii> https://downloadcenter.intel.com/search?keyword=Linux*+Processor+Microcode+Data+File
[09:35] <llldino> Tomiii, After reading up on it, it seems as though it's something that shouldn't be messed with unless you're having stability issues
[09:35] <Newbie101_> Ben64, dig google.com  ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.5-Ubuntu <<>> google.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[09:36] <Sebben> Hello
[09:36] <cfhowlett> Tomiii, for that matter, I can wait for such fixes to be rolled into the bios updates
[09:37] <Tomiii> cfhowlett: yes, but BIOS updates stop for computers after a few years
[09:37] <Ben64> Newbie101_: should maybe restart networking or your computer or both
[09:38] <Newbie101_> Ben64, ok thank you let me try to reboot...brb
[09:43] <orf_> God damn guys, what the hell is wrong with Linux and multiple monitors
[09:44] <orf_> every time I upgrade my kernel some new issue crops up. This time one of my 3 identical displays is an "Unknown display"
[09:44] <orf_> And has a really small resolution.
[09:44] <cfhowlett> orf_, drop the profanity immediately if you expect support
[09:44] <cfhowlett> !english | orf_
[09:44] <orf_> Sorry, it's just a bit frustrating.
[09:45] <orf_> Is there a way to just remove the display entirely, so that when I re-plug it it's a fresh screen?
[09:45] <cfhowlett> orf_, did it work properly under the previous kernel??
[09:45] <Newbie101_> Ben64, I rebooted and still not internet access : bob@bob-machine ~ $ ping -c3 google.com ping: unknown host google.com
[09:45] <orf_> I tried running xrandr --delmode but I get "BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)"
[09:46] <orf_> yes cfhowlett, but the display config seems to get messed up every kernel update
[09:46] <Ben64> Newbie101_: open the network configuration thingy and set static dns servers
[09:46] <Ben64> orf_: what video card
[09:46] <orf_> inbuilt intel one, I can get the exact version number if you like
[09:46] <jophish> hi, I upgraded my kernel to 4.0 to fix my wifi connection speed, however after doing this I can't use any external usb devices or connect to wifi
[09:47] <Ben64> orf_: sorry, idk much about intel graphics
[09:47] <orf_> do you know how to just reset the entire display config?
[09:47] <Ben64> jophish: how did you do the upgrade, and what version of ubuntu are you on
[09:47] <orf_> I can then reconfigure each monitor, but starting fresh seems like a good way to go
[09:48] <jophish> Ben64: 14.04, I installed linux-image-4.2.0-22-generic. I'm installing image-extra now to see if that helps
[09:50] <llldino> orf_, Did you run the xrandr command as root?
[09:50] <Ben64> jophish: that package isn't meant to be installed by itself
[09:50] <jophish> Ben64: ah, what should I have installed instead?
[09:52] <Ben64> jophish: something like this...  sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-wily
[09:52] <Tomiii> jophish: what is the easiest way to update to linux 4.2?
[09:52] <jophish> Ben64: I'll give that a go, thanks
[09:53] <jophish> Tomiii: pretty much, yeah
[09:53] <Tomiii> jophish: can you do it in synaptic?
[09:53] <jophish> I was told that it could fix the problems I've been having with my wifi connection
[09:53] <jophish> Tomiii: I've not used synaptic in about 10 years, I don't know if I've even got it installed
[09:54] <cfhowlett> jophish, first try normal channels.  apt-get -s update && apt-get -s full-upgrade               will show what's possible but will not execute anything
[09:54] <jophish> cfhowlett: will that upgrade the whole system? I'd rather just upgrade the kernel
[09:55] <Newbie101_> Ben64, I reboot and works. Thank you for your help. Is there some links you could send me so that I can learn more about what you helped me repair? I want to learn...
[09:55] <cfhowlett> jophish, *will not execute* ...
[09:55] <Ben64> Newbie101_: well if you set static dns, then its using that
[09:56] <jophish> cfhowlett: sorry, I meant to ask: "will that do a dry run of upgrading the whole system? I'd rather just have a dry run of upgrading the kernel"
[09:56] <Newbie101_> Ben64, ok well thank you for your time.Have a good day.
[09:56] <jophish> back in a flash, rebooting
[09:57] <cfhowlett> jophish, yes it will dry run.   see the output and if (as hoped) a new kernel is there, you can specify upgrading the kernel only
[10:03] <Error404NotFound> What is the idea of [Desktop Action something] in .desktop files? For example, chromium-browser's desktop file has an incognito action. How does that work?

[11:02] <panos_> it*
[11:04] <llldino> It's not your root drive? You can try "lsof /location/of/mount/point" and see if anything is hogging I/O
[11:04] <llldino> Also the package 'iotop' is great for diagnosing I/O problems, it's on the main repo I think, when you get it run it as root and see whats happening
[11:06] <panos_> no process seems to be using /dev/sdd1 according to lsof
[11:06] <llldino> You'd have to check the mount point
[11:06] <llldino> Not the device node
[11:07] <panos_> nothing again
[11:09] <llldino> panos_, Maybe try as root "fsck.ext2 -fn /dev/sdXY"
[11:09] <Mixxit> trying to overwrite shared '/etc/sane.d/v4l.conf', which is different from other instances of package libsane:amd64
[11:09] <Mixxit> how can i fix this?
[11:10] <Mixxit> 14.04
[11:11] <panos_> Warning!  /dev/sdd1 is mounted.
[11:11] <panos_> ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
[11:11] <panos_> fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
[11:11] <panos_> fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdd1
[11:11] <panos_> The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
[11:11] <panos_> filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
[11:11] <k1l_> panos_: dont fsck mounted partitions
[11:11] <Mixxit> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14398737/
[11:12] <Mixxit> and -f log is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14398738/
[11:12] <Mixxit> thanks!
[11:13] <llldino> k1l_, the -n flag on fsck tells fsck not to touch the drive, I'm only checking contingency
[11:14] <k1l_> Mixxit: sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install libsane
[11:14] <llldino> panos_, What filesystem do you have on your drive?
[11:14] <k1l_> Mixxit: put it into a pastebin
[11:14] <panos_> it's vfat
[11:15] <k1l_> Mixxit: ah wait, didnt see the install -f log
[11:15] <llldino> panos_, Is this a recent problem you've been having? VFAT is slow on a good day
[11:16] <panos_> no, I have it since I bought this hdd
[11:16] <llldino> and it's only recently been causing issues?
[11:16] <panos_> no no
[11:17] <panos_> the issues happen from the first time
[11:17] <panos_> the strange thing is that this hdd works ok in my windows partition
[11:17] <DamBedEi> Hi.
[11:17] <k1l_> Mixxit: "sudo rm /etc/sane.d/v4l.conf"
[11:17] <llldino> panos_,  Oh, so I'd hazard a guess and blame the fact it's a VFAT filesystem
[11:17] <k1l_> Mixxit: then again install -f
[11:18] <annon100101> i installed lubuntu 15.10 from iso disk image. then i updated and upgraded. and installed a few programs(sublime text,ruby etc). then i installed gnome using using 'sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop'. then pc restarted. login screen was gnome but the desktop is lubuntu still. i then uninstalled lubuntu-desktop. but its not working
[11:18] <annon100101> any idea?
[11:18] <panos_> llldino, it appears so. Is there any way I can change the filesystem without formatting it?
[11:18] <DamBedEi> I once saw how someone got information about an object file like on which system it was built and so on but I forgot the commad ... someone has an idea? can't find it on google :(
[11:18] <llldino> panos_, Not without destroying your files
[11:18] <k1l_> annon100101: did you choose gnome on the login screen?
[11:19] <panos_> llldino: pitty :(
[11:19] <panos_> llldino thanks for your help, I appreciate this
[11:19] <llldino> panos_, You would have to rip everything you wanted to keep off of it into a .tar or something and then format your drive
[11:19] <annon100101> no option was on login . it was gnome by default
[11:19] <llldino> panos_, No problem man, sorry for the bad news
[11:20] <annon100101> but pc started with lubuntu logo after grub
[11:20] <panos_> llldino: It's a little bit difficult to backup 2TB of data ... :)
[11:20] <annon100101> grub>lubuntu logo>gnome login panel>lubuntu deszktop
[11:20] <k1l_> annon100101: you need to choose gnome on login.
[11:21] <llldino> panos_, Yeah no kidding, especially if it's coming off VFAT
[11:21] <annon100101> :)
[11:21] <k1l_> click on the icon and then choose gnome-desktop there
[11:21] <panos_> llldino: :)
[11:22] <iresf> hi everyone
[11:22] <panos_> llldino: Should I change it to NTFS? (I also want it windows compatible)
[11:22] <iresf> anyone know free proxy for ubuntu and debian  ?
[11:22] <mistralol> tinyproxy?
[11:22] <llldino> panos_, Yeah
[11:23] <mistralol> In ubuntu how can i stop the mouse cursor going invisable in gnome-terminal?
[11:23] <Mathisen> does ubuntu use identical kernels in ubuntu and lubuntu ...
[11:23] <k1l_> iresf: better ask in ##chat
[11:23] <k1l_> Mathisen: yes
[11:23] <Mathisen> are they compiled diffrent ?
[11:23] <llldino> Mathisen, I believe so
[11:23] <Mathisen> thqat what i thought
[11:29] <Kiwiirc_Testing> Helo folks. I am testing out Kiwiirc from a website and not an IRC client.
[11:29] <Kiwiirc_Testing> It looks pretty good so far.
[11:30] <Kiwiirc_Testing> Is there an Ubuntu version of this that can be custom programmed for a private IRC server?
[11:31] <wiiguy> Kiwiirc_Testing try the ubuntu server edition ?
[11:32] <Mixxit> k1l_: thanks
[11:32] <Mixxit> k1l_: there was a ton of files changing them worked! cheers buddy
[11:32] <Kiwiirc_Testing> I didn't know one existed. Thanks for that thought.
[11:52] <butterfly_> Need help!  upgraded Ubuntu Trusty via update and when restarted, got initramfs error. Anyway to fix this error?
[11:53] <llldino> butterfly_, Boot again into single user mode, and try running "update-initramfs -u"
[11:58] <butterfly_> Thanks, llldino. I should've visit this forum earlier. Googling is a pain, been surfing around for weeks. Thanks a lot.
[11:58] <llldino> butterfly_, No problem buddy
[12:16] <join> Selam herkese.
[12:17] <fep> who?
[12:29] <akik> !tr
[12:33] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:52] <theking> anyone?
[12:53] <theking> i need help
[12:53] <llldino> theking, What was the question?
[12:55] <annon100101> hello there!
[12:55] <annon100101> i installed lubuntu 15.10 in my pc first
[12:55] <annon100101> then installed gnome desktop
[12:56] <annon100101> now im using gnome
[12:56] <annon100101> but when pc starts, it shows lubuntu logo
[12:56] <annon100101> how can i change that
[12:56] <solaries> How can I reconfigure graphics driver? I am running Ubuntu in HyperV and have modprobe'd  hyperv_fb. Now, how to use it?
[12:57] <annon100101> solaries: HyperV..that means windows 10?
[12:57] <solaries> yes
[13:00] <annon100101> solaries: Use Device Manager in the guest operating system to enable the Microsoft Virtual Machine Bus Video Device.
[13:01] <solaries> I'm actually using Mint, which is Ubuntu based. There I don't find device manager.
[13:01] <solaries> Only driver manager. And that doesn't show any drivers to select.
[13:01] <Sven9797> Running Ubuntu 14.04 on a Dell 15 and lovin it!
[13:04] <annon100101> solaries: even u cannot access any legacy video adapter from there?
[13:05] <solaries> correct
[13:05] <Alexandrov> .
[13:05] <solaries> annon100101: lspci gives me "00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: Microsoft Corporation Device 02c1 (rev 01)"
[13:06] <solaries> I assume after modprobing hyperv_fb, I need to go through bare X configuration... :-/
[13:06] <PaulePanter> Hi. The father of a friend bought a HP desktop system with Ubuntu preinstalled.
[13:07] <PaulePanter> Now my friend, a Mac zealot, reported from the experience of his father.
[13:07] <PaulePanter> Updates fail after quite a short time, because the size of partition /boot is just 128 MB and therefore Linux kernel upgrades fail because of no space left.
[13:08] <PaulePanter> Who is to contact to fix this really bad user experience?
[13:09] <mcphail> PaulePanter: this is a pet peeve of mine. There are bugs filed about it
[13:09] <mcphail> PaulePanter: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1479344 for an example
[13:10] <annon100101> solaries: if having trouble, u may try this.. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2878821
[13:11] <mcphail> PaulePanter: for most users, having a separate /boot is only a hindrance. Ask the user to run "apt-get autoremove" to see if it can clear some space on /boot. Otherwise, it will require manual clearing
[13:13] <PaulePanter> mcphail: Thanks.
[13:13] <PaulePanter> mcphail: Do you work at Ubuntu and are able to fix this together with HP?
[13:14] <mcphail> PaulePanter: no - I don't have any connections to Ubuntu/Canonical or HP
[13:14] <mcphail> PaulePanter: simply a longtime user
[13:14] <annon100101> solaries: if not than check this.. . https://wiki.debian.org/WindowsServerHyperV
[13:14] <annon100101> *then
[13:15] <PaulePanter> mcphail: Thank you for caring about it then. As written, the father is a normal user and bought the system from HP with Ubuntu preinstalled. I hoped, HP and Canonical would have a better QA to give a better user experience.
[13:16] <mcphail> PaulePanter: It is an easy one to miss, only becoming apparent after several kernel upgrade. But, i fully agree with you, it is a bad bug. I wish they would add big warnings to the Ubuntu installer
[13:16] <solaries> thanks, annon100101! Will check out those guides!
[13:17] <solaries> annon100101: Are you also running Ubuntu under Win10 HyperV?
[13:17] <Fohlen> hey guys. I've got a computer with 2 line-in sound output devices, that I configured using alsamixer to be in non auto-mute mode. But now suddenly it outputs my input (microfon) on both headset and speakers
[13:17] <mcphail> PaulePanter: it would be worth reporting to HP as well
[13:17] <Fohlen> any idea how I could fix that
[13:17] <Fohlen> I disabled the mic for now because its annoying as fuck
[13:19] <NoCode> Hi, I've just encrypted a USB dongle with LUKS with gnome-disks, When I input the passphrase of the key, I get: "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of disk". Do I need to be root to view the content on the USB if I've format the USB dongle as root?
[13:20] <llldino> NoCode,  Yes
[13:21] <NoCode> llldino: So formating it without being root will allow me to use the passphase(LUKS) and continue using it via user?
[13:23] <llldino> You can just use "chown -R yourusername /location/of/usb" and that should work, but i'm not too familiar with LUKS and i'm not sure if LUKS intends the dongle to be root only
[13:26] <NoCode> llldino: Hopefully it works since when inserting the dongle, it asks for a passphase right off the bat. As I don't run in root always, it would be kind of useless to not be able to.
[13:26] <NoCode> Ubuntu should perhaps ask for the computer password, then ask for the LUKS password if so.
[13:27] <NoCode> But even then would be more of a pain because then what I am doing, it'll ask for a 3rd password right after that. :D
[13:27] <NoCode> holy crapola.
[13:28] <llldino> If you formatted it while logged in as the root user, it will set the owner of the directory as root, but if it intended for you to format it as user, then it should work fine
[13:28] <llldino> I mean it should work fine if you format it as user, but you can just switch owners of directories using chown
[13:28] <llldino> Oh, and you'd have to run "chown -R yourusername /location/of/usb" as root
[13:29] <NoCode> Yes, am about the chown
[13:30] <NoCode> also used username:username
[13:37] <k1l> PaulePanter: report to hp. the manufacturers tend to modify the setups for preinstallation.
[13:40] <NoCode> llldino: That worked, but what I don't get is why Nautilus wouldn't ask for the passphrase again after closing the window. hrm
[13:40] <k1l> PaulePanter: and a "sudo apt-get autoremove" should remove some of the old kernels
[13:43] <C_minus> 14.04 problem - didn't successfully boot a couple of times (hanging on 5 dots). so selectde "recovery mode" but didn't understand options, so chose "resume normal boot". This time, 5 dots are gone, I'm at the login window, can hear the ubuntu drums. But when I type in my password, the screen sort of jerks/flashes, and sends me back to login screen.
[13:44] <C_minus> Same if I choose "guest session"
[13:44] <k1l> C_minus: what did you do before the first not-booting
[13:45] <C_minus> I had used ubuntu this morning, shut down and restarted in windows 7 to check on something windows-related, then shut down win7 and tried to boot ubuntu. which brings me to present moment!
[13:46] <C_minus> Just rebooted again, and I'm back at the 5 dots. This is very bad :(
[13:47] <C_minus> Is there something like a "safe mode" i can use?
[13:49] <k1l> C_minus: i would go and try to find the cause and repair that
[13:49] <k1l> C_minus: it sounds like there is an issue with the video driver or the hard disk at all.
[13:49] <k1l> C_minus: so again: what did you do (on ubuntu) before that happend.
[13:49] <C_minus> well i used it happily this morning. was just browsing the web really, nothing fancy.
[13:50] <k1l> like installing updates, installing other kernels, installing video drivers from some websites,....
[13:50] <C_minus> k1l nope nothing like that.
[13:52] <k1l> C_minus: can you press ctrl+alt+f1 and log in there?
[13:53] <C_minus> At what point should I do that? On the 5 dots splash screen?
[13:54] <C_minus> !!! OK so weird - I tried failsafe mode - it just had a window saying "the system is running in low graphics mode" and didn't respond to keyboard or trackpad. So switched off, switched back on, and it booted/logged in perfectly fine
[13:55] <C_minus> So strange! I have loved using ubuntu and learning about linux recently, but sometimes it scares the hell out of me!
[13:55] <C_minus> It must have failed to boot about 8 or 10 times before working :/
[13:57] <C_minus> Does this type of thing ever happen to you?
[13:57] <k1l> C_minus: no. you can look into the old syslogs in /var/log/ to see what was going on
[14:01] <C_minus> k1l. thanks. It's a bit over my head to understand the meaning of these logs. I do notice a large chunk highlighted in red, is that normal?
[14:01] <k1l> put it into a pastebin
[14:02] <C_minus> I'll go back to when it first started messing up, but it might be quite large...
[14:06] <C_minus_> k1l Hi I'm now logged in on my ubuntu laptop. Thanks for looking at this syslog paste for me, sorry if it's too large, or I didn't get the relevant pieces http://pastebin.com/0HhZZ4Fh
[14:08] <annon100101> solaries: welcome..
[14:10] <annon100101> solaries: is ur problem solved?
[14:10] <ratbuddy__> mornin.. 12.04 is redirecting both stdout and stderr to the file, even though I'm just using a single > to redirect output.. systemwide or profile setting I should look for to stop this?
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> ratbuddy__  share the script with the channel, in a pastebin, so we know what we're dealing with ... and there's also #bash
[14:21] <Strat> I have 2 monitors. Everytime i start up ubuntu, i need to open certain programs, and set their location to each monitor (ex.: program 1 and 2 on monitor 1 and evenly distribute the space by using ubuntu's "snap to edge" feature). I already setup my startup applications, but how do i allocate the corresponding space and monitor to each application?
[14:22] <nkaman> Hi
[14:23] <C_minus_> I'm not sure if k1l is already helping me out with this. But does anybody have the enthusiasm to check through this syslog and perhaps work out why my laptop was hanging on splash screen/failing to log in? http://pastebin.com/0HhZZ4Fh
[14:26] <pbx> Strat, i know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but a tiling window manager would let you do this sort of thing. e.g. xmonad
[14:29] <bgardner> C_minus_: Does your user own .ICEauthority and .Xauthority?
[14:30] <OerHeks> just found out how to remember placement of program window, http://askubuntu.com/a/708984
[14:31] <C_minus_> bgardner I'm not 100% sure on that (dont know what they are) but I am the only laptop user, and they reside in my home folder
[14:33] <C_minus_> bgardner yes, stat /path/to/those/files reveals that I am the owner
[14:37] <valtrip> just installed 15.10 ,, ifconfig is showing wlp9s0  at the place of wlan0 ,, can i change it ,, how??
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> valtrip  is this useful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2282721
[14:40] <Strat> pbx, thanks for the reply. I was aware of tiling window managers (used awesomewm in the past, it was great!), and thought maybe i could do something similar within ubuntu without addition software packages to be installed. Anyway, i think i have to get back to a tiling window manager. Thnx for the reply ;)
[14:41] <bgardner> C_minus_: I was trying to take a run at this but honestly I don't see anything worrisome in your log.  I thought checking those two files was worth a shot but now I'm out of ideas.  Perhaps someone else can assist.
[14:41] <C_minus_> bgardner thanks. what does it mean if you see a bunch of stuff highlighted in red in the syslog? i that bad?
[14:42] <bgardner> C_minus_: Depends on what you use to look at it.  If you're grepping, it's just highlighting what matched the grep.
[14:43] <C_minus_> no this is just the way it looked when i opened it in gedit. \00\00\00\00\00... all in red. sorry i have no idea what most of the logs are about.
[14:44] <C_minus_> this worries me, i have no idea when it's going to fail to boot next. i'm scared to switch off the computer.
[14:45] <MonkeyDust> C_minus_  when did this start? is this your first experience with ubuntu?
[14:47] <C_minus_> MonkeyDust. Not quite first, but im relatively new to ubuntu/computing. This morning was using ubuntu a-ok. Then rebooted into win7 for a while. when i came back to boot into ubuntu it failed about 8-10 times - hanging on splash screen,
[14:48] <C_minus_> then i tried recovery mode, but didn't understand the options, so just selected "resume normal boot". This allowed me to get to login screen, but after entering password, screen just sort of flashed/jerked and sent me back to login screen.
[14:49] <C_minus_> Sounds like this problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/ubuntu-gets-stuck-in-a-login-loop but as i say, I could only get this far after recovery-mode > resume normal boot. Otherwise just 5 dot splash screen.
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> C_minus_  similar to this?  http://askubuntu.com/questions/462272/cant-login-to-ubuntu-14-04
[14:50] <C_minus_> MonkeyDust quite similar, although I COULDN'T log in with the guest account either.
[14:50] <akik> i think it's a really weird decision to hide the bootup messages
[14:51] <cfhowlett> akik, others disagree.  if you wish, can watch the verbose feedback
[14:51] <akik> now users come to ask help with "the 5 dots"
[14:52] <C_minus_> i wish i could be more specific akik
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> C_minus_  during the 'graphical boot', hit F12... the text messages should show now ... found this myself by accident, some time ago
[14:53] <akik> yes, for now i can enable the messages but for how long?
[14:54] <C_minus_> MonkeyDust the other weird part is that I didn't *do* anything, I just kept on trying to reboot and eventually it worked.
[14:54] <solaries> annon100101: unfortunately, my problem isn't solved yet.
[14:54] <solaries> what would be the "raw" way of configuring X?
[14:54] <solaries> I mean in the ancient past there was a possibility to probe the graphics card.
[14:55] <akik> solaries: you can still use /etc/X11/xorg.conf to configure it
[14:56] <C_minus_> On an unrelated note, does anybody know what tool I might use to make a complete clone/image of my hard drive - including BOTH ubuntu and win7 partition? To back up to an external hard drive?
[14:56] <solaries> atik: sure, but I don't know how to set up this hyperv_fb
[14:57] <cfhowlett> !cloning | C_minus
[14:57] <solaries> better would be some tool that figures that out
[14:57] <cfhowlett> !clonezilla
[14:57] <OerHeks> ctrl alt F1 ;  sudo service lightdm stop ; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and switch back to the gui with ctrl alt f7
[14:57] <OerHeks> solaries ^^
[14:58] <solaries> cool, thx
[15:00] <C_minus_> cfhowlett so you recommnd clonezilla to make a clone of every partition on my laptop, all at once? Ideally I'd like to be able to restore the machine to its earlier state all in 1 step after a failure (i.e. put Win7 and Ubuntu back on)
[15:00] <akik> solaries: you can see if "X -configure" or "Xorg -configure" creates a working xorg.conf.new file
[15:00] <cfhowlett> C_minus, yeah you could do that ...
[15:06] <C_minus_> Some people seem to think the problem is related to nvidia drivers
[15:07] <C_minus_> In the additional drivers dialogue, it says I am "Using NVIDIA binary driver - v352.68 from nvidia-352 (proprietary)"
[15:07] <C_minus_> I chose this a while ago because I wanted to install CUDA, but lost interest in that.
[15:08] <C_minus_> However it has been working fine since then (that was ages ago), i.e. no boot problems
[15:08] <C_minus_> Could it still be related?
[15:10] <mcphail> C_minus_: are you 100% sure you don't have failing hardware or a corrupt filesystem? Have you switched off all "fast boot" or "special windows boot" options in the BIOS? Have you tried booting with an earlier kernel?
[15:12] <Dvginkel> Goodday Everyone
[15:12] <C_minus_> mcphail - hardware should be good - laptop is only a couple months old. how can i check filesystem? i remember running "fsck" while in "recovery mode" and it reported like 0.3% non contiguous files or something like that but can't remember exactly.
[15:13] <C_minus_> i haven't made any changes to the bios, at least not recently but i can check... it could be in some kind of "legacy mode"
[15:14] <mcphail> C_minus_: new hardware doesn't mean working hardware. Check your memory and disks (from a live USB, if you can't boot). Worrying that you needed to run fsck at some point. Did you have an unclean shutdown?
[15:14] <C_minus_> mcphail - i didn't *need* to run fsck. i just couldn't boot and i was at a loss as to what to do.
[15:15] <mcphail> C_minus_: also, try booting with the previous kernel from the GRUB menu. Perhaps the nvidia drivers did not get rebuilt with the latest kernel upgrade
[15:15] <C_minus_> several unclean shutdowns AFTER my laptop started failing to boot - because all i had at my disposal was a purple screen with 5 dots and the power off button. but i always shut down before powering off otherwise
[15:16] <mcphail> C_minus_: if you are struggling to shutdown, try holding "Alt" and "SysRq/PrntScrn" and press "REISUO" slowly
[15:16] <valtrip> MonkeyDust :  no file in /etc/udev/rules.d   ,, after searching find this   http://askubuntu.com/questions/228673/change-ra0-to-wlan0-in-ubuntu-10-10    still 75-file not found in /lib/
[15:16] <C_minus_> mcphail - ok if i recall in the grub menu i have a couple of options under "advanced options" but they're both the same version. if i recall correctly.
[15:16] <mcphail> C_minus_: or "REISUB" if you want to reboot
[15:17] <mcphail> C_minus_: that would be unusual. Is this a very new install?
[15:17] <MonkeyDust> valtrip  instead of struggling, accept the new naming convention
[15:18] <C_minus_> mcphail, yeah pretty new i guess. installed ubuntu on xmas day.
[15:18] <mcphail> C_minus_: aah. OK, shouldn't be an issue with dkms building, then. Did you install the nvidia drivers from default repos?
[15:19] <C_minus_> mcphail: i just went to "additional drivers" and chose one of the nvidia proprietary ones.
[15:19] <mcphail> C_minus_: OK. Good.  I have a few things that will be annoying to install again. But I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world if I need to reinstall.
[15:23] <mcphail> C_minus_: OK, then I suggest you boot into a live USB and mount your Ubuntu partition. Have a look around in your home directory and see if anything is missing/corrupted. Report back. If you do have vital files on the partition, make a clone first
[15:23] <C_minus_> I was just discussing that with someone else. I am considering clonezilla to make a perfect image of EVERYTHING - including my Win7 partition.
[15:24] <mcphail> C_minus_: To be honest, a clone with "dd" would be easier and more useful. But whatever you ant to use is fine
[15:24] <daftykins> no it's not easier or more useful :P
[15:24] <daftykins> clonezilla would be ace as you won't need to store all the empty space
[15:25] <C_minus_> There are some things on Win7 that I really don't want to have to reinstall (huge downloads).
[15:25] <mcphail> daftykins: it is if you want to mount the image. And you can pipe dd through bzip2
[15:25] <C_minus_> Does dd have the ability to clone the other partitions too?
[15:25] <daftykins> mcphail: so you're claiming you can't mount clonezilla's output? how odd.
[15:25] <mcphail> C_minus_: yes - it just gives a byte-for-byte image
[15:26] <mcphail> daftykins: I may be confused. I never claim not to be confused ;)
[15:26] <daftykins> just seems like you're promoting one over the other without knowing one to compare directly
[15:27] <mcphail> daftykins: dd is intrinsically easier because it is already installed
[15:27] <daftykins> total rubbish
[15:27] <daftykins> single package install from a live environment
[15:28] <OerHeks> dd needs sync afterwards, do not forget that.
[15:28] <mcphail> daftykins: This is going to degenerate into a matter of opinion
[15:28] <daftykins> it is if you're going to keep claiming something is easier in your opinion :)
[15:28] <C_minus_> so to get clonezilla, I boot up using my ubuntu LiveUSB, and then something like apt-get install clonezilla?
[15:29] <daftykins> yep
[15:29] <daftykins> as long as there's a working internet connection there, wouldn't hurt to chain together "sudo apt update && sudo apt install clonezilla"
[15:30] <daftykins> then you'll obviously need to plug in whatever additional storage you have, to image this disk to
[15:30] <C_minus_> ok i really need to do that before it's too late.
[15:30] <Braybaut> C_minus, Clonezilla is Distro, not installed from apt
[15:30] <mcphail> daftykins: "Due to the image format limitation, the image can not be explored or mounted." That may have changed, but that's what I had read and it is still on the main page
[15:30] <Charly41> why ubuntu has not it installed and active by default a good firewall? I want to install one that run autimatically when I start the system, which one do you advice to install?
[15:30] <daftykins> Braybaut: wrong. it is available in package form as well as freestanding bootable ISOs
[15:30] <cfhowlett> !ufw | Charly41
[15:30] <daftykins> !info clonezilla
[15:31] <daftykins> proof ^
[15:32] <cfhowlett> daftykins, would it not be advisable to clone from a liveCD rather than a login session?
[15:32] <Braybaut> daftykins, yes, installable from apt, Sorry
[15:32] <llldino> Just my two cents here, I find dd far easier to use over clonezilla for cloning disks or partitions, less software in the way of getting the job done imo
[15:32] <Charly41> cfhowlett, I have checked with iptables and it is not active, ufw is installed but incoming and outgoing traffic is all allowed
[15:32] <daftykins> cfhowlett: we were told that's what's being done ( a live session booted)
[15:32] <cfhowlett> Charly41, you have to activate ufw ...
[15:33] <daftykins> Charly41: are you not behind a NAT router already?
[15:34] <Charly41> cfhowlett, I have a modem ad home, with my isp brand on it
[15:34] <cfhowlett> daftykins, believe this is for you ^^^^
[15:34] <C_minus_> So just to clarify once more, I get a fresh external hard drive, larger than my laptop's hard drive, boot LiveUSB, install clonezilla, and ask it to make a perfect image of the hard drive?
[15:34] <daftykins> Charly41: so your computer receives your internet facing IP directly on the wired interface?
[15:35] <C_minus_> Then if something goes wrong, I can recover my old setup from a similar LiveUSb environment?
[15:35] <Charly41> daftykins, seems so yes
[15:35] <daftykins> C_minus_: yes disk to image copy - its' menus are pretty self explanatory, you'd format the external disk as anything you can store the image on
[15:35] <daftykins> Charly41: mmm yep time to play with ufw then - but this really depends on whether you're running any open externally facing services or not - grc.com has a handy little port scanner
[15:36] <daftykins> Charly41: i'd prefer to get a proper router myself ;)
[15:36] <C_minus_> Lovely, I'm going to go buy a new 1TB external drive. Hopefully I don't get any boot trouble in the interim.
[15:38] <Cardium> Hello i just started using linux by installing ubuntu on my desktop what should i expect?
[15:38] <cfhowlett> Cardium, fun.
[15:38] <Cardium> I already configured it some by using google
[15:39] <daftykins> Cardium: you need to ask actual support questions in here really, that was very vague.
[15:39] <cfhowlett> Cardium, www.fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads
[15:39] <compdoc> Cardium, expect to win the lottery
[15:39] <Charly41> daftykins, yes, well I just want the incoming traffic blocked, I can do it with gufw but I am not sure if I have to repeat the setting everytime I open the pc. Linux mint has one installed and active by defauld and I liked it. I would like to install the same but I am not sure how to do
[15:39] <Cardium> Ty cfhow
[15:39] <C_minus_> Dumb question, but just so I don't waste my money on something stupd, will any external HDD work?
[15:40] <daftykins> Charly41: likely not a good idea to put anything Mint on unless it's available in the repos, but i think you're worried over nothing
[15:40] <daftykins> C_minus_: depends what your system has available, i got a £16 (GBP) USB 3.0 with UASP enclosure recently and put a 2.5" laptop HDD inside it
[15:41] <cfhowlett> Charly41, check your ufw: sudo ufw status              *should* report "enabled"
[15:41] <daftykins> USB 3.0 with UASP is excellent for speed.
[15:41] <cfhowlett> Cardium, happy2help!
[15:42] <Cardium> Also any good sources to learn python offline?
[15:42] <C_minus_> Thanks guys later!
[15:42] <cfhowlett> Cardium, python.org has lots of downloadable content
[15:42] <Charly41> cfhowlett, status: inactive
[15:42] <daftykins> Cardium: i'd bet they have a good channel also
[15:42] <llldino> Cardium, I've been using this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mEzFDjqtA  He goes quick but I like his style of teaching
[15:42] <cfhowlett> Charly41, sudo ufw enable        will turn it on
[15:43] <Cardium> Tyvm everyone =)
[15:43] <llldino> Cardium, Oh sorry, you clearly said offline >.(
[15:43] <cfhowlett> Cardium, enjoy ubuntu!
[15:43] <Cardium> I will enjoy it and llldino i will download it so it wont be a problem =)
[15:44] <Charly41> daftykins, yes there is not so much to worry but at least a damned firewall should be working on every os for the very basic protection :)
[15:44] <designbybeck> Ubuntu 14.04.3, I don't have my Date/Time on my bar at the top anymore. And when I go to Date/Time in SystemSettings and Click on Date/Time The options are greyed out
[15:44] <designbybeck> anyway to restart that process, without having to reboot?
[15:45] <daftykins> Charly41: no that's utter rubbish
[15:46] <mcphail> daftykins: I'm searching through the Clonezilla website. I can't see anything to suggest the image files can be directly mounted. Can you give me a link to a howto, and I'll be happy to recommend in the future?
[15:46] <cfhowlett> Charly41, there are good reasons why it is off.  and it is caveman easy to turn it on.
[15:47] <daftykins> mcphail: no it's not my responsibility to persuade you over to one thing versus another
[15:48] <designbybeck> nevermind, I found a fix
[15:48] <designbybeck> http://itsfoss.com/fix-date-time-missing-menu-bar-ubuntu-1310/
[15:53] <mcphail> daftykins: OK, then please be helpful and don't interrupt with bad advice. Thanks
[15:54] <daftykins> mcphail: i was being helpful and provided a far easier program to use than your suggestion of dd, don't ruin this channels purpose by taking things so personally.
[15:56] <mcphail> daftykins: If you read the advice in context, I was advising a clone of the partitiion to faciliate file recovery if his disk was failing. But, you are correct, this does not belong on-channel
[15:57] <daftykins> sounds like checking the SMART data from the live session should've been #1 - not stressing it with a full disk clone
[15:58] <daftykins> anyway, i tire of this
[15:58]  * mcphail agrees and offers handshake
[15:58] <daftykins> no.
[15:58] <mcphail> ahh well.
[15:59] <compdoc> mcfail
[15:59] <cfhowlett> !behelpful | compdoc
[16:08] <johnn> Can I use Ubuntu Snappy Core for the Pi Zero?
[16:09] <mcphail> johnn: not sure if there is an ARMv6 build. Best ask on #snappy
[16:10] <Braybaut> PiZero is ARMV6, Ubuntu Snappy found with Armv7
[16:10] <[Saint]> Hey, tfc_, cut that shit out.
[16:11] <cfhowlett> [Saint], no profanity in channel
[16:11] <rww> [Saint]: hrm?
[16:11] <rww> ah, PM spam I guess?
[16:11] <[Saint]> rww: ~200 lines of PM spam about Islam.
[16:12] <rww> yeah
[16:12] <rww> thanks, i'll get that fixed
[16:12] <cfhowlett> [Saint], report abuse to #ubuntu-ops
[16:12] <zykotick9> rww: i also got the Islam PM spam from tfc_
[16:12] <[Saint]> cfhowlett: sorry, honestly I thought I checked what channel this was, but apparently I failed.
[16:12] <[Saint]> Anger fueled.
[16:13]  * Uptime looks in
[16:13] <cfhowlett> [Saint], chillax  :)
[16:13] <[Saint]> oh, yeah, lots of 'em.
[16:14] <[Saint]> s/yeah/yay/
[16:14] <ikonia> uptime <IP_ADDRESS> warrents some invesigation
[16:14] <rww> psh ikonia, i was going straight for the k-line :P
[16:14] <ikonia> rww: I should have left it
[16:14] <[Saint]> absolutely.
[16:14] <[Saint]> banning is just going to start a fight you cant win unless you take out the entire telco.
[16:14] <[Saint]> which is ugly.
[16:15] <rww> [Saint]: yeah, they keep popping in from random IP addresses. network staff know about them, so we bounce it over to them and they get kicked off freenode
[16:15] <rww> anyways, back to our regularly scheduled support discussion :)
[16:15] <[Saint]> awesome. as an admin of a MUCH smaller channel, love what you guys do.
[16:16] <fooobarrr> I got the islam spam from rpx_
[16:16] <[Saint]> I feel special, I got it like 8 times.
[16:16] <[Saint]> anyhoo...
[16:16] <rww> fooobarrr: looks like they got nuked already :)
[16:17] <fooobarrr> yeah that was a while ago
[16:17] <[Saint]> imagine my surprise when quassel is backgrounded and I'm watching a movie and my notification tone fires...200 times.
[16:18] <cfhowlett> [Saint], doesn't quassel have /ignore functionality?
[16:19] <bgardner> [Saint]: I found setting usermode +R helped cut that down a lot.
[16:19] <[Saint]> cfhowlett: it does, and I was doing so, but it stopped just as I got around to it.
[16:20] <[Saint]> It took me a while to even figure out what that noise even was.
[16:23] <Charly41> daftykins, cfhowlett  thanks guys
[16:24] <cfhowlett> Charly41, happy2help!
[16:30] <BartekChom> \quit
[16:35] <pizzaguy> What is the root password in recovery mode?
[16:35] <pizzaguy> Doesnt ubuntu not have a root account by default? so does that mean I cant "drop to root shell prompt"?
[16:36] <akik> pizzaguy: it's unknown unless you change it
[16:36] <llldino> pizzaguy, You should be the root user in recovery mode
[16:36] <tgm4883> no password
[16:36] <llldino> pizzaguy, The root password is null by default in Ubuntu
[16:36] <akik> recovery mode asks for the root password
[16:36] <tgm4883> akik: then you probably changed it at some point
[16:36] <llldino> rather, diabled
[16:36] <pizzaguy> akik yes when I select 'drop to root shell prompt'
[16:37] <akik> tgm4883: yes i did
[16:37] <pizzaguy> But i never set up a root password
[16:37] <tro74n> hey there
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> pizzaguy  that's because there is no root passwor
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> d
[16:37] <pizzaguy> The problem I have is that my filesystem has errors and wont mount. Any suggestions?
[16:37] <tgm4883> by default it should just bring up the prompt
[16:38] <llldino> pizzaguy, What errors do you get when it won't mount?
[16:38] <tro74n> how to use ubuntu for beginer
[16:38] <cfhowlett> !manual | tro74n
[16:39] <pizzaguy> fsck says /dev/sdd1: Group descriptor 1457 checksum invalid; /dev/sdd1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
[16:39] <cfhowlett> tro74n, you might also enjoy www.fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads
[16:39] <tro74n> ok ...
[16:39] <llldino> pizzaguy, Did you run fsck manually? q:
[16:39] <pizzaguy> Im unable to run it manually if I dont have a root prompt I can access
[16:39] <tro74n> chhowlett thanks for information..
[16:40] <cfhowlett> tro74n, happy2help!
[16:40] <llldino> pizzaguy, You'll have to use a live CD to run fsck on the filesystem
[16:40] <pizzaguy> Okay Ill try a live cd
[16:41] <llldino> pizzaguy, That would be your easiest option, failing that you can use single user mode but using a live CD is safer
[16:42] <llldino> Drop a shell on the Live CD and run as root "fsck -fy /location/of/filesystem"
[16:43] <akik> tgm4883: do you mean that if i hadn't changed the root password, the recovery mode wouldn't ask for it?
[16:43] <tgm4883> akik:
[16:43] <tgm4883> akik: correct
[16:43] <pizzaguy> llldino: honestly, I dont know the location of the filesystem
[16:43] <akik> interesting
[16:44] <pizzaguy> well i guess each partition has its own
[16:44] <llldino> pizzaguy, I believe you can run fsck on the device node but i've never done it, so that would be /dev/sdXY, make sure you double check it's not mounted
[16:47] <pizzaguy> ugh live cd shows "Disk has many bad sectors" I think this is the result of a system crash possibly in addition to it trying to fix itself
[16:47] <llldino> pizzaguy, Is the drive old? What did you do?!
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> pizzaguy  havent followed ... what got your system in this situation? what brings you here?
[16:49] <linuxuserwannabe> what's the easiest way to install the latest version of nmcli (part of network-manager package) in Kubuntu 14.04?
[16:49] <pizzaguy> lldino: yes the drive is kinda old
[16:50] <pizzaguy> MonkeyDust, lldino: So I think the cpu fan is messed up and the computer just turned off after getting too hot, and thats when this started
[16:50] <OerHeks> linuxuserwannabe, better ask in #kubuntu, not sure why you think you need a newer version
[16:50] <pizzaguy> MonkeyDust: The filesystem wont mount due too errors
[16:50] <linuxuserwannabe> there are some parameters that are only supported in the latest version
[16:50] <MonkeyDust> linuxuserwannabe  if it's in the repos: use apt-get install ... if it's not in the repos: find a .deb or ppa or so, but that's not supported here
[16:50] <llldino> pizzaguy, Yeah if it won't mount and fsck won't run you might be done.
[16:50] <OerHeks> linuxuserwannabe, and what version is that? url?
[16:51] <llldino> pizzaguy, What is the exact output of "fsck"
[16:51] <pizzaguy> llldino: What are the chances that "Disk has many bad sectors" is fixable?
[16:51] <pizzaguy> let me check
[16:51] <linuxuserwannabe> OerHeks: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man1/nmcli.1.html
[16:51] <llldino> Don't run while it's mounted!
[16:52] <pizzaguy> how do i make sure its not mounted
[16:52] <pizzaguy> df?
[16:52] <llldino> Just type "mount" to get a list of whats mounted
[16:52] <linuxuserwannabe> OerHeks: I need to use "con mod" param
[16:52] <llldino> Is your root filesystem on this hard drive?"
[16:53] <OerHeks> linuxuserwannabe, upgrade to 15.0 or build it yourself?
[16:53] <OerHeks> * 15.10
[16:54] <pizzaguy> fsck yields "One or more group descriptor checksums are invalid Fix<y>?"
[16:54] <pizzaguy> try to fix it yes?
[16:54] <linuxuserwannabe> OerHeks: build the whole package (network-manager)? I only need nmcli
[16:54] <llldino> pizzaguy, Yeah
[16:55] <OerHeks> linuxuserwannabe, yes, else you might run into issues, likely
[16:55] <frostschutz> pizzaguy, don't run fsck on bad drives.
[16:55] <pizzaguy> frostschutz: ummm oops
[16:55] <pizzaguy> What do you mean by bad?
[16:56] <pizzaguy> I believe it isnt as bad as my machine thinks it is
[16:57] <sudomarize> I'm getting a permission denied error when trying to fwrite to a file in /var/www/html on my apache server (php). How can i resolve this?
[16:58] <pizzaguy> lldino: Error reading block X (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore error<y>?
[16:58] <pizzaguy> llldino
[16:58] <linuxuserwannabe> OerHeks: yeah, I suppose I might run into issues either way (building the whole package and cherry pick the nmcli). Thanks anyway.
[16:58] <llldino> pizzaguy, Yeah keep going
[16:59] <OerHeks> sudomarize, learn the basics, add your user to www-data >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/19898/whats-the-simplest-way-to-edit-and-add-files-to-var-www
[17:00] <sudomarize> thanks
[17:00] <pizzaguy> What does force rewrite mean, llldino
[17:02] <llldino> pizzaguy, It means there's a discrepancy between what the filesystem is reporting and what the disk thinks the filesystem has
[17:04] <llldino> pizzaguy, As long as it's unmounted it's safe to say yes to that
[17:05] <frostschutz> ...
[17:07] <pizzaguy> okay, just cleared a bunch of unused/deleted inodes
[17:07] <llldino> pizzaguy, cool, do a restart and hopefully you're gold
[17:09] <MonkeyDust> pizzaguy  i foud this in a book:   sudo badblocks -v /dev/...
[17:09] <MonkeyDust> found*
[17:09] <pizzaguy> llldino should i try it again to make sure its good to go?
[17:09] <MonkeyDust> pizzaguy  or even   sudo fsck -TV /dev/...
[17:10] <llldino> pizzaguy, Yeah, try mounting it again if thats what you mean
[17:10] <pizzaguy> boom mountable
[17:11] <llldino> pizzaguy, Cool I feel super smart haha
[17:11] <MonkeyDust> !cookie | llldino
[17:11] <guest> Is there some software firewall that can filter based on the reverse DNS record of an IP?
[17:11] <guest> I want to filter all traffic not from a CDN
[17:11] <guest> and the IPs are enormous and ever-changing, but the reverse DNS matches a pattern always
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> guest  try fwbuilder
[17:12] <pizzaguy> Trying to boot, theres a blinking underscore in top left
[17:13] <MonkeyDust> pizzaguy  that can be fix with nomodeset (no mode set)
[17:13] <llldino> pizzaguy, It will mount but not boot? Maybe use the Live CD and reinstall grub onto that drive
[17:13] <pizzaguy> grub loaded
[17:13] <pizzaguy> fine
[17:14] <pizzaguy> ohh, waiting a bit longer worker :)
[17:15] <llldino> pizzaguy, Do you have backups? If you can read off of it, now's a great time to make a backup
[17:16] <pizzaguy> I was going to buy a qnap nas in a month or two
[17:17] <pizzaguy> I have six drives in my computer and dont even know whats on most of them
[17:17] <llldino> pizzaguy, It's always important to have a good backup, even if it's on an external hdd. You never know when a drive is going to fail!
[17:18] <pizzaguy> If I pull out all 6 drives put it in another computer and make sure the boot sequence is the same, then should it just work flawlessly as it is now?
[17:18] <cfhowlett> ... *should* ....
[17:19] <pizzaguy> cfhowlett: What might be problematic?
[17:21] <dimitarodohrid> Hey guys, I have a .tar file that when i extract all the files have .gz extension. There are a lot of files, how do i unpack this archive?
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> !gz | dimitarodohrid
[17:23] <zykotick9> dimitarodohrid: using something like this _might_ work?!: for f in *.gz ; do gunzip $f ; done
[17:24] <dimitarodohrid> zykotick9: thank you will try that. I'm very confused why the archive would be done that way though
[17:24] <llldino> pizzaguy, If you're booting Linux that should be fine but Windows doesn't like it when you do stuff like that
[17:25] <zykotick9> dimitarodohrid: it's _strange_ packaging for sure.
[17:26] <goddard> wwhat should I use to get a visual look at the path to a destination IP?
[17:27] <llldino> goddard, traceroute
[17:27] <nacc> goddard: how visual? traceroute, e.g.?
[17:27] <Lifip> Hi I've Installed 14.04 on a 8gb sd card, however I need more space and want to transfere to a 32gb sd card. is there a way to do tthis or would it be easier to just new install on the new 32gb card?
[17:27] <xebra> hi, what's responsible for the message like "The program 'whatever' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing...", in bash? Is it part of bash, a feature? It's not available everywhere
[17:28] <llldino> xebra, I found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/309178/ask-to-install-program-after-the-program-x-is-currently-not-installed
[17:29] <llldino> I knew it was a package and not a bash feature, just didn't know which one
[17:30] <xebra> llldino, oh, thanks
[17:32] <goddard> llldino: thanks
[17:32] <pizzaguy> Okay, I just want a simple backup via copy/paste. What folders should I backup other than /home?
[17:32] <rickardo1> I can't perform apt-get -f install because lack of space on /boot  Is there a way I can expand this volume?
[17:33] <llldino> pizzaguy, What kind of data do you consider "essential"? I personally take everything but I could just as easily take /home myself
[17:34] <cfhowlett> rickardo1, df  -H | nc termbin.com 9999           paste the url here
[17:35] <rickardo1> cfhowlett: http://termbin.com/n1he
[17:35] <Cristian_> Hello
[17:35] <pizzaguy> llldino, any files i create/download, and application data such as bookmarks is all i can think of
[17:35] <cfhowlett> rickardo1, yep.   full boot drive.
[17:35] <cfhowlett> rickardo1, /boot partition that is.
[17:35] <Cristian_> Does anyone know which version of intel graphics driver is included in ubuntu 14.04.3?
[17:35] <rickardo1> cfhowlett: How could that happend?
[17:36] <rickardo1> cfhowlett: Shouldn't that be handled by the system?
[17:36] <cfhowlett> rickardo1, happens cause you never cleaned out your old kernels.
[17:36] <llldino> pizzaguy, Well, most files you create and download probably end up in /home. Also, if you use firefox all your settings/bookmarks .etc are stored in /home.mozilla
[17:36] <rickardo1> cfhowlett: Any solution?
[17:36] <llldino> pizzaguy, So you're probably safe with just taking /home
[17:36] <BluesKaj> rickardo1:  in the future consider using a 15G / partition rather than a boot plus a /home partition of course
[17:36] <cfhowlett> rickardo1, try sudo apt-get autoremove
[17:37] <BluesKaj> and autoclean
[17:38] <pizzaguy> llldino, where are appropriate locations for other browsers to save bookmarks and other apps to save application data like settings and stuff?
[17:39] <pizzaguy> even though /home might be all i need i wouldnt mind overestimating a little
[17:39] <smart> any one know how to edit the panel in ZorinOS 10?
[17:39] <OerHeks> !info xserver-xorg-video-intel trusty
[17:39] <cfhowlett> smart, zorin is not supported here.  this is ubuntu.
[17:39] <cfhowlett> !zorin | smart
[17:39] <OerHeks> smart, zorin-os is not supported here
[17:39] <OerHeks> they have their own issues
[17:39] <smart> where can I go then?
[17:39] <llldino> pizzaguy, I'd expect applications to save all user controlled setting in the /home directory of that user
[17:39] <cfhowlett> smart, errr, look in the help menu??
[17:40] <OerHeks> smart, check their wiki?
[17:40] <strk> build-essential is installed but both autoconf and libtool are missing, what's the deal ? ubuntu-12.04
[17:40] <llldino> pizzaguy, Global settings for programs sometimes end up in /etc however
[17:40] <TJ-> strk: probably you need to match specific versions
[17:41] <Cristian_> Does anyone know which version of intel graphics stack is included in ubuntu 14.04.3? is it 2014Q4?
[17:41] <pizzaguy> Is there a way i can open File Browser with sudo privledges?
[17:41] <cfhowlett> pizzaguy, yes, but you really shouldn't need to do that
[17:41] <legionCyber> Is anyone else having issues getting booted out of Ubuntu back to the login screen?
[17:41] <TJ-> strk: build-essential doesn't depend on autoconf/automake/libtool though
[17:41] <BluesKaj> Cristian_:  think it's the i915 driver for most intel gpus on 14.104
[17:42] <legionCyber> I'll be working away, then all of the sudden, xorg crashes and I get booted to the login screen, losing all my work in the process.
[17:42] <BluesKaj> 14.04
[17:42] <OerHeks> Cristian_, ubottu says  2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.6 (trusty)
[17:42] <cfhowlett> legionCyber, "anyone else" questions are a huge waste of bandwidth.  rephrase your question:  YOUR issues and YOUR details.
[17:42] <pizzaguy> the folder X cannot be handled because you dont have permessions to read it
[17:42] <cfhowlett> rickardo1, did we lose you?
[17:43] <llldino> pizzaguy, What are you trying to do?
[17:43] <bbt> world
[17:43] <strk> TJ-: TJ- got it, thanks
[17:43] <pizzaguy> copy /home to another drive
[17:43] <TJ-> legionCyber: check the log files; start with /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but also the per-user $HOME/.xsession-errors
[17:43] <bbt> hello world, where are they from?
[17:44] <BluesKaj> cfhowlett:  rickardo1 is still in the nicklist, maybe afk
[17:44] <llldino> pizzaguy, A very dirty way to do what you want would be "sudo cp -ar /home /location/of/where/you/want/it
[17:45] <cfhowlett> BluesKaj, I'll hang a bit.  we were trying to spring clean his overfilled /boot
[17:45] <Cristian_> BluesKaj: thanks, I'm trying to figure out to which graphics stack version according to intel numeration that driver belongs to
[17:46] <llldino> pizzaguy, But I would consider compressing /home with tar first and then maybe look at using rsync and cron to run a scheduled backup to a dedicated location, maybe something to look into when you get your NAS?
[17:46] <Cristian_> it seems there are  2014Q2 and 2014Q4 versions, the last one has h.265 hardware decode which I am trying to get running
[17:46] <pizzaguy> how much would 400gb tar compressions yield
[17:47] <BluesKaj> Cristian_:  my laptop uses it for the 4000 series
[17:48] <BluesKaj> Cristian_:  I'm not familiar with those numbers
[17:49] <pizzaguy> ohh god 10hrs eta
[17:49] <llldino> pizzaguy, 400 GB in /home? Geez.. I'm not sure, with gzip maybe like 150-300.. I'm not sure. With bzip maybe more compression
[17:50] <llldino> Maybe consider clearing some stuff you don't need
[17:50] <pizzaguy> I really dont know what there is. i had the computer off for a few years. i probably have a few vm's
[17:50] <pizzaguy> llldino: Is it going to be a problem, If i am copying to an ntfs drive?
[17:51] <TJ-> pizzaguy: it's likely with that amount of data much if it is in files that are already heavily compressed, so being selective might speed things up a lot
[17:51] <dromar56> pizzaguy: you can check very fast with "ncdu" what exactly are those 400gb
[17:51] <llldino> pizzaguy, Not at all. You can also do "du -h --max-depth=1 /home" to see what sub directories are taking up space
[17:52] <llldino> Rather change the 1 to a 2
[17:52] <dromar56> or use ncdu, it's really great for this kind of things
[17:52] <dromar56> I use it for this exact situation, finding out what do I need to backup
[17:53] <jjjasper> ntfs shouldn't be an issue, just make sure you cleanly unmount it
[17:54] <llldino> ^ Yeah windows gets pissed when you don't do that
[17:55] <brontosaurusrex> llldino: or a script like: du -hca --max-depth=1 "$@" | sort -h
[17:56] <pizzaguy> Is copy/paste via File Browser ordered in any way, such as BFS?
[17:56] <lsh> slightly OT, don't know where to ask else: I'm about to publish my first paper, need some help and possible a review of it first. is there a channel to help me?
[17:57] <llldino> brontosaurusrex, Yes, that's a much cleaner way of doing that
[17:57] <cfhowlett> lsh, "slightly"?
[17:57] <cfhowlett> lsh, see ##english
[17:58] <llldino> pizzaguy, I could be wrong, but I think in File Browser it's just evoking cp in the background
[17:58] <mika_> join #ubuntu-fr
[17:58] <pizzaguy> is that dfs then?
[17:58] <mika_> how to join ubuntu-fr
[17:59] <cfhowlett> mika_, correct command:   /join #ubuntu-fr
[17:59] <mika_> thanks
[18:01] <fartface> If I wanted to rename all files with a filetype of *.foo to *.foo_bar recursively inside of a folder, what's the easiest way to go about that
[18:01] <fartface> I wanna say it's using `find`, but I can't remember how to just append something to the filename
[18:02] <pizzaguy> aha, I have a folder called 3TB-Backup that is almost 300gb lol
[18:04] <OerHeks> mv *.foo *.foo_bar
[18:05] <lsh> cfhowlett thx :)
[18:05] <cfhowlett> lsh, happy2help!
[18:05] <lsh> do you by chance also know if there is a http channel
[18:05] <lsh> for the http protocol
[18:06] <cfhowlett> !alis | lsh
[18:06] <MonkeyDust> lsh  type   /msg alis list http
[18:06] <lsh> nice! thx for your help
[18:06] <TJ-> lsh: for the protocol itself? possibly ##networking, or for apache httpd server #httpd
[18:11] <rickardo1> cfhowlett: Sry, was interrupted.. autoremove solved it (y) ty v much..
[18:11] <cfhowlett> rickardo1, nice.
[18:11] <fartface> OerHeks: but recursively
[18:12] <OerHeks> mv -R *.foo *.foo_bar
[18:12] <OerHeks> time to read some basic manual
[18:13] <fartface> OerHeks: mv is not ls, -R is not a valid flag
[18:14] <legionCyber> TJ-: There are a handful of these entries in my $HOME/.xsession-errors log.  upstart: upstart-event-bridge main process (18869) terminated with status 1 upstart: upstart-event-bridge respawning too fast, stopped
[18:14] <fartface> You were saying about reading a basic manual?
[18:15] <fartface> rm* not ls
[18:15] <MonkeyDust> fartface  if you don't get an answer here, try in #bash
[18:15] <fartface> Cheers
[18:16] <OerHeks> hmm indeed, -R is invalid
[18:16] <TJ-> legionCyber: does the log end with those? if it doesn't I'd suspect they're incidental - unfortunately a lot of the GUI programs generate warnings/errors which are captured in that log-file but the devs seem to ignore fixing them
[18:17] <Algebr`> Why oh why does ubuntu's apt-get or aptitude always want to remove unrelated stuff that will destroy my system?? http://pastebin.com/dCxdmjS7
[18:19] <TJ-> fartface: how about "find /path/to/base/dir -type d -execdir rename 's/\.foo$/\.foo_bar/' *.foo \;" - not sure when the "*" will be exanded by the shell though - might need to be quoted to protect it from the interactive shell
[18:20] <fartface> TJ- that's basically what I was planning, -exec 'mv {} {}_backup' but I can only include one pair of braces to spit out the filename, and I couldn't remember how to capture the result
[18:21] <llldino> fartface, There's probably a fancy way to do it using a for statement, but my bash isn't that great
[18:21] <TJ-> Algebr`: it's not unrelated - apt is following the dependency graph. libimobiledevice4 is depended on by other packages. If you remove it, they have to be removed too (to prevent breakages). If other packages depend on those, then the removal cascades
[18:21] <fartface> llldino: makes two of us lol
[18:21] <TJ-> fartface: use -execdir rather tha -exec its more targeted, and safer
[18:22] <fartface> Cheers
[18:22] <Algebr`> TJ-: there is no logical connection between the gnome-session-manager and libimobiledevice4
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> Algebr`  maybe indirectly, through another package - a removal cascade, as TJ- says
[18:23] <TJ-> Algebr`: incorrect: gnome-session-bin depends on upower, which is a reverse-depends of libimobiledevice4
[18:24] <TJ-> Algebr`: I'd reconsider the reason for wanting to remove the library, and if there is an alternative to doing that
[18:24] <Algebr`> TJ-: I see, then what can I do in these situations, how can I safely remove libimobiledevice wihtout damning the rest of the system
[18:24] <Algebr`> but this is silly, I installed it via aptitude and now want to remove it but can't cause it will destory other stuff
[18:24] <bithon> hello
[18:24] <bithon> i have a problem with my home server (it's ubuntu 14.04 64-bit) and its high memory usage
[18:25] <bithon> i run my server inside of a vbox
[18:25] <TJ-> Algebr`: other packages that may have been installed since then depend on it
[18:25] <bithon> and basically ssh to it. but, looking at free -h it says that 4 gb are allocated even though i don't really have anything running
[18:25] <Algebr`> all software is broken
[18:26] <bithon> Algebr`: all your base are belong to us? that sort of thing : p
[18:26] <TJ-> bithon: are you sure about that? 'free' reports include the buffers and cache
[18:26] <bithon> oh i see now TJ-
[18:27] <bithon> you're right. there is 2.6Gb of cached data
[18:27] <bithon> but still it's kind of odd
[18:27] <TJ-> !atemyram | bithon if you're interested
[18:27] <TJ-> bithon: You're seeing a symptom of the Linux kernel being ultra-efficient
[18:28] <bithon> TJ-: Should I be worried?
[18:28] <bithon> :D
[18:28] <TJ-> bithon: no, you should be pleased ... more cache/buffers means less real I/O reads
[18:29] <fartface> For those who were curious, this is what worked: find . -name '*.foo' -exec sh -c 'mv "{}" "{}bar"' ';'
[18:29] <bithon> ah i see. well thank you for the clarification TJ-. Have a good one ;)
[18:34] <huehue> morning guys

[18:39] <TJ-> huehue: well, what have you added that expects to find the default user account by its UID (1000 is the first UID allocatred)
[18:39] <huehue> TJ-: only use " sudo apt-get upgrade -y" to install last updates!!
[18:40] <Braybaut> find the user as UID 1000 huehue
[18:40] <huehue> Braybaut: my user!

[18:41] <blip-> hi all, I have an old version of eclipse installed and I don't remember how I uninstalled it.  I don't have the main eclipse package from the repos (but I do have eclipse-cdt).     Removing those packages doesn't remove eclipse
[18:42] <mekhami> i'm having a problem with apt-get update hanging on 'waiting for headers'
[18:42] <blip-> i also dont have a the standalone eclipse installer in my Downloads, how did i install this thing
[18:42] <TJ-> blip-: if you don't know, how would we!? :D
[18:42] <huehue> TJ-: UCk bug? Change any on my system, chroot etc :/
[18:43] <TJ-> blip-:  if the files came from the archives then "dpkg -S /some/path/to/existing/file" will tell you which package installed the file
[18:43] <huehue> Braybaut: http://pastebin.com/fUikFkUn
[18:43] <huehue> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/fUikFkUn
[18:44] <blip-> TJ, yeah its odd.  the standalone installer wouldnt have me install select packages from the ubuntu repos
[18:44] <blip-> TJ-, either way, i dont know how to uninstall it now

[18:47] <I-am-Groot> Hello, I just installed VS Code and the installation only required that i extracted the files from a zip i downloaded. Which i have done and it runs perfectly. I even created an icon for it. My problem now is that, i need it to show up when i right click on a text file just like gedit and the rest does.
[18:47] <I-am-Groot> How do i accomplish this?
[18:48] <huehue> TJ-: Upgrade chroot package  in some way this change my system and lost conection.

[18:50] <LPH24> Hello all. :)
[18:51] <I-am-Groot> Hello! Anyone to help me with my problem?
[18:52] <LPH24> What's the problem?
[18:52] <I-am-Groot> Hello, I just installed VS Code and the installation only required that i extracted the files from a zip i downloaded. Which i have done and it runs perfectly. I even created an icon for it. My problem now is that, i need it to show up when i right click on a text file just like gedit and the rest does.
[18:52] <I-am-Groot> How do i accomplish this?
[18:52] <OerHeks> I-am-Groot, what is "VS Code" ??
[18:53] <MonkeyDust> I-am-Groot  repeat your question every 15 minutes, not every 5 minutes
[18:53] <I-am-Groot> Its a text editor and IDE. Like Sublime text and Brackets
[18:53] <I-am-Groot> Okay
[18:53] <LPH24> So you can't right click it then choose 'other application'?
[18:53] <I-am-Groot> No, it doesnt show up in the list

[19:02] <frostythesnowman> hi, every time i try to install a package on my ubuntu machine with apt-get, it tries to install nautilus-dropbox first, and freezes.  does anyone know how to remove nautilus-dropbox from apt-get's auto-install config so it stops trying automatically?
[19:02] <huehue> TJ-: Braybaut: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30344638/Captura%20de%20tela%20de%202016-01-04%2016%3A01%3A32.png
[19:02] <huehue> i try only this!
[19:03] <lotuspsychje> !info bonnie++ | MonkeyDust
[19:05] <legionCyber> TJ-:  Yes, the log file ends in those.  It's a bummer these are not fixed asap because getting booted out causes loss of work/data in some cases.
[19:05] <I-am-Groot> OerHeks, Thanks for ur input, i read through that page, But it doesnt really work as i want it. I want VS Code to show up in this list http://imgur.com/qbIFZpf
[19:06] <frostythesnowman> anyone? :\
[19:08] <BluesKaj> frostythesnowman:  did you add a ppa for instaling nautilus-dropbox?
[19:08] <TJ-> legionCyber: it doesn't help us that those log entries aren't timestamped so we don't know if they are related to the session crash. You might find something else/more useful in the logs under /var/log/lightdm/ (maybe an error code when the user session dies). Also, when it does crash DO NOT log back in via the GUI (otherwise you'll erase the $HOME/.xsession-errors file. Instead, switch to a TTY console with
[19:08] <TJ-> Alt+Ctrl+F1, log-in, and check the $HOME/.xsession-errors file before it gets truncated. Maybe copy it to another file to save it, then you can return to the GUI with Alt+F7 and log-in the GUI
[19:09] <frostythesnowman> BluesKaj: i think i may have.  i don't remember how i got into this state unfortunately.
[19:09] <frostythesnowman> BluesKaj: I was originally trying to install dropbox, and having trouble, and eventaully gave up.  i don't think i reset the changes i amde.
[19:09] <frostythesnowman> If I did add the PPA, how would i remove it?
[19:10] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: the backdrop to that is using the XDG mime-types  registration to add your program registered as a handler for text/plain ... but as to how you do that via Unity/Gnome - no idea!
[19:10] <MonkeyDust> frostythesnowman  sudo aptitude purge ~c   <-- that's a tilde
[19:11] <MonkeyDust> frostythesnowman  that's for dropbox, not for the ppa
[19:11] <BluesKaj> frostythesnowman:  open your /etc/apt/sources.list with root permissions and remove the dropbox ppa, save the file, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:11] <MonkeyDust> oh, dropbox with a ppa?
[19:11] <Apachez> any hints regarding powersaving/tweaking when using ubuntu 15.10 on a hp pavilion 15 laptop? is laptop-mode-tools still valid today or not (seems to exist contradicting answers to that)?
[19:11] <BluesKaj> MonkeyDust:  not sure if it is a ppa
[19:12] <lotuspsychje> !info laptop-mode-tools | Apachez yes
[19:12] <frostythesnowman> hmm, i don't see a dropbox ppa in my sources.list file
[19:12] <frostythesnowman> and when i rune sudo aptitude purge ~c, it tries to install dropbox again and then it freezes
[19:12] <ph88> how can i get nautilus to display the image width height in the status popup at the bottom ?
[19:12] <I-am-Groot> TJ, Thanks
[19:13] <I-am-Groot> I guess i will have to do more research on it
[19:14] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: I think it can be as simple as a mime-type line in the .desktop file you create for the application
[19:17] <BluesKaj> frostythesnowman:  run sudo dpkg --configure -a then sudo apt-get -f install then it might install dropbox since it seems it's installation was inr=terrupted
[19:17] <BluesKaj> interrupted
[19:17] <frostythesnowman> BluesKaj: i tried that too, but dpkg --configure -a tries to restart the installation of nautilus-dropbox which freezes
[19:18] <frostythesnowman> that was actually the original problem i was trying to fix, to no avail
[19:18] <TJ-> I-am-Groot: aha! read the sub-section "Shared MIME database package" for background, and then go to the end of the page and follow the link for "Desktop entry specification" and in the 'specs' page see the "Registering MIME Types" section
[19:19] <posix4e> Got this weird bug. Calling apt-get upgrade in a vagrant now and when we get to the grub menu, it mangles the terminal
[19:19] <posix4e> any ideas
[19:19] <TJ-> I-am-Groot the page is at http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/shared-mime-info-spec/
[19:20] <stefan_X1> apt-get update? instead of upgrade?
[19:20] <posix4e> i do an update
[19:20] <posix4e> and then an upgrade
[19:20] <posix4e> alas i need it
[19:21] <posix4e> maybe there's a way to exclude a package from upgrade
[19:21] <anabain> I'm on the ubuntu installer. How can I upgrade my installer before going on?
[19:21] <BluesKaj> frostythesnowman:  dunno if this will work, but...... sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:22] <huehue> TJ-: Braybaut: start upgrade chroot!
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> anabain  upgrade your installer?
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> anabain  meaning?
[19:22] <Braybaut> huehue, from chroot the upgrade ?
