[17:02] <bazhang> no need to leave irc
[17:02] <ThatNewGuy> Wug, thx for a suggestion, i will try this out! :)
[17:02] <al-damiri> Hi #ubuntu
[17:03] <al-damiri> I'm not able to rename folder/files in nautilius. I'm using Ubuntu.
[17:03] <Wug> al-damiri: any file, or just a particular one?
[17:03] <al-damiri> The rename, cut, copy options are disabled.
[17:04] <rareranger> That seems like permission problems right. Though copy should still be available.
[17:05] <Wug> al-damiri: do you have permissions?
[17:05] <al-damiri> Wug: Any file.
[17:05] <al-damiri> Wug: Yes.
[17:05] <Wug> nautilus will grey out the cut and rename options if you don't have permission to delete the files
[17:05] <al-damiri> Wug: I cannot Create New Folder.
[17:05] <al-damiri> In my home directory.
[17:06] <Wug> that sounds like a permissions issue
[17:06] <al-damiri> It is not greyed out.
[17:06] <al-damiri> Wug: What do I check?
[17:06] <Wug> well can you check anyway? open a terminal and do `ls -l` and also `id` and make sure the user you're logged in as is the user who owns the files
[17:07] <Wug> al-damiri: you could also try running gk-sudo nautilus and see if you can create/rename files then
[17:07] <al-damiri> Wug: Yes it is same i.e. both id and the owner (and also group) in ls.
[17:07] <Wug> if you can do it as root, chances are it's a permission issue
[17:07] <dee0en> anybody knows why a network installation looking for the trusty-updates
[17:08] <Wug> I have to reboot my computer, back in a minute
[17:08] <al-damiri> Wug: `gk-sudo nautilus` doesn't work.
[17:08] <Wug> al-damiri: what does it do
[17:08] <bazhang> no dash there Wug
[17:08] <bazhang> gksudo
[17:09] <Wug> oh, did i add a dash? oops
[17:09] <al-damiri> bazhang: Yes.
[17:09] <al-damiri> Now its working.
[17:09] <bazhang> !info gksu
[17:09] <dee0en> i'm trying to do a network installation, and the installation pauses/freezes because it's loooking for the trusty-updates from my network install server
[17:09] <al-damiri> Wug: Yes I can now do rename.
[17:09] <al-damiri> Why is it?
[17:10] <al-damiri> Even though I can see the owner and permissions for my logged in user.
[17:10] <al-damiri> Wug: For instance, this is output from the ls: -rw-rw-r--   1 aldamiri aldamiri 2.9M Sep 14 21:15 copy_output.log
[17:10] <Wug> al-damiri: that implies it's a permission issue, but i have no idea what might be causing it. can you `touch foo` from the terminal?
[17:10] <Wug> is nautilus somehow running as the wrong user?
[17:10] <ni> hey I'm on xubuntu, but I had the same problem on mint and ubuntu as well. The sound on my laptop is just pure shit compared to windows, I got the pulse equalizer which improved it a little, but it's still not great.
[17:10] <ni> can anyone help?
[17:11] <Wug> this rules out filesystem being mounted read only because of a disk error or something
[17:11] <al-damiri> Wug: Yes.
[17:11] <al-damiri> a file 'foo' is created.
[17:11] <al-damiri> But I cannot edit it.
[17:11] <Wug> al-damiri: whaaaa?
[17:11] <al-damiri> Wug: Yes.
[17:11] <rareranger> al-damiri: thats super weird.
[17:11] <Wug> that makes no sense
[17:11] <al-damiri> I guess it is nautilus error.
[17:11] <al-damiri> This happens at time.
[17:12] <al-damiri> I guess a reboot would fix it.
[17:12] <al-damiri> That's what I have experienced.
[17:12] <Wug> can you edit it from the shell? `echo test > foo`
[17:12] <al-damiri> Wug: Yes.
[17:13] <al-damiri> aldamiri@aldamiri:~$ echo test > foo
[17:13] <al-damiri> aldamiri@aldamiri:~$ cat foo
[17:13] <al-damiri> test
[17:14] <Wug> try reinstalling it. `dpkg --list | grep ii | grep nautilus | awk '{print $2}' | sudo xargs dpkg-reconfigure --force` should reinstall all nautilus packages that you currently have installed
[17:15] <Wug> you'll probably need to log out and then back in afterwards for it to take effect
[17:15] <al-damiri> Wug: I see.
[17:15] <al-damiri> Let me try rebooting if that fixes it.
[17:15] <Wug> sure
[17:15] <al-damiri> Wug: Thanks, you may reboot also :)
[17:15] <Wug> if rebooting and reinstalling doesn't work, i have no idea
[17:16] <al-damiri> Wug: Fine, no problem.
[17:16] <Wug> in that case, its probably ghosts
[17:16] <Wug> i recommend an exorcism

[17:40] <wbill> has anyone gotten a macbook 2,1 to dual boot with ubuntu?
[17:41] <MonkeyDust> wbill  my tip: try with a live dvd/usb, first
[17:41] <scatterp-> wbill im sure they have but i would recomend just installing ubuntu
[17:41] <wbill> i did thats works it doesn't see the partition with refind after the install i also used the ubiquity -b in the live cd as suggested by a few to do the install
[17:43] <wbill> the partitions seem to be there but refind doesn't have the icon for it after and i tried to update the install and reboot
[17:44] <wbill> but still no icon there or using option keu on startup
[17:46] <wbill> it doesn't see the ubuntu install i just did or the partitions in efi startup maybe it didn't get the full install but said it was done to remove media and reboot at the end

[18:03] <tyler_d> zebrastik: what have you done? what was the output? what errors did you see?

Making a simple upstart script on startup fails: it reads that the USB device is not found. so how can I add a prerequisite to the upstart job to wait for the USB device to be active on the bus?
[18:03] <Hummus> really?
[18:04] <tyler_d> zebrastik: you need to be more specific, what I heard is, I would like to run virtualbox in a headless env(runlevel3)
[18:04] <Hummus> @hizz
[18:04] <zebrastik> tyler_d i already installed ubuntu 14.04 on a virtual box
[18:04] <abbaZaba> everything I am fiding is for usb DRIVES, not a usb modem
[18:04] <tyler_d> zebrastik: what?
[18:04] <zebrastik> tyler_d what i want to do it is to run it on runlevel=3
[18:04] <tyler_d> zebrastik: you want your vm to start in runlevel 3
[18:04] <bazhang> !runlevel | zebrastik
[18:05] <zebrastik> tyler_d yes
[18:05] <tyler_d> zebrastik: see... I say again, wow.
[18:05] <zebrastik> ?
[18:05] <bazhang> just use the server iso zebrastik

[18:06] <tyler_d> Hummus: from terminal `df -h`
[18:07] <zebrastik> bazhang ubuntu server does not have a gui right?
[18:07] <bazhang> correct

[18:19] <Hummus> @tyler_d: I just checked, no full partitions. Home is at 84% with some 33GB to spare
[18:23] <tyler_d> Hummus: sorry I missed the orig problem, what does `mount` show you?
[18:23] <tyler_d> Hummus: I assume it's to do with your home partition... :s

[18:27] <OerHeks> Nectar, hard to tell, show the output of "sudo fdisk -l" to see the partitions in blocks, partition numbers does not tell if they are next to each other
[18:29] <OerHeks> Nectar, current picture looks like you can only expand ntfs
[18:29] <OerHeks> Nectar, or expand the extended partition first, then the partion inside that
[18:29] <OerHeks> *partition
[18:30] <Nectar> OerHeks: The extended wont drag. http://pastebin.com/M5iZUfT6
[18:31] <OerHeks> Nectar, you are doing this from a live iso ? you cannot change a disk in use.
[18:32] <Nectar> OerHeks: it needs to be done in a gparted live cd?
[18:33] <OerHeks> Nectar, yes, or your ubuntu iso
[18:33] <Hummus> this is what I see about /home partition from mount command /dev/sdb4 on /home type ext4 (rw, relatime, data=ordered)

[18:36] <pbx> lotuspsychje, that doesn't answer my question.

[18:37] <Maczimus> Does Netflix work in both Chromium and Chrome or just Chrome?
[18:37] <OerHeks> Maczimus, only on chrome, AFAIK
[18:37] <pbx> OerHeks, thanks, are you offering that as just general hygiene or are you saying it's known to fix this specific problem?
[18:37] <minitrue> pbx: yep, i hear that but i dont know how to use emcas
[18:37] <Maczimus> ok thanks
[18:38] <OerHeks> pbx,  never seen your bug, but can be caused by an extention or cache, dunno

[18:51] <macchan> okay

[19:07] <daftykins> greetings
[19:07] <MrNumber3isme> Maybe someone can help me. I haven't the slightest idea how I did it, or how to fix it. Somehow I lost permissions to my home folder, and all subsequent folders. I went through CLI, used chmod 777 -R /home/thomas it looked like it worked from the terminal, but in GUI, I tried to rename a file, and got a message saying I do not have the permissions.
[19:07] <OerHeks> uh oh, 777 is a bad permission for your $HOME...
[19:07] <hello_> i have change my cursor icon to black; but it is white in nautilus and rest of the unity but black only in firefox
[19:08] <daftykins> MrNumber3isme: mmm one command not to play with again in future :P
[19:08] <OerHeks> MrNumber3isme, backup your data, and reinstall, or make a fresh user and add him to sudoers
[19:08] <MrNumber3isme> either way, it should still have given me back write permissions, right?
[19:08] <hello_> i have change my cursor icon to black; but it is white in nautilus and rest of the unity but black only in firefox
[19:09] <MrNumber3isme> DerHeks, is that about all there is to do? I just did a fresh reinstall a few weeks ago. not really looking forward to that again until the next LTS release.
[19:10] <OerHeks> MrNumber3isme, well, now you learned not to perform such chmod action again, it is up to you
[19:11] <KCmetro> ubuntu 15.04, videos not playing in chromium or chrome, flashplugin-installer installed, is there something else that needs installed?
[19:11] <KCmetro> some videos played fine
[19:11] <KCmetro> but now some are not. both are youtube vids
[19:12] <KCmetro> example video that does play: https://www.professormesser.com/network-plus/n10-006/anti-malware-software/
[19:12] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: a fresh install isn't needed. You should be able to just make a new user and move content over
[19:13] <KCmetro> example video that does not play: https://www.professormesser.com/microsoft-70-680/deploying-windows-7-overview/
[19:13] <KCmetro> that 2nd one says "this plugin is not supported"
[19:13] <OerHeks> tgm4883, i gave that choise too, and add that new user to sudoers
[19:13] <MrNumber3isme> DerHeks I suppose you're right then. the price of ignorance. but then my question comes back to what could have caused the issue in the first place? I haven't used chmod at all since I reinstalled. Hell, I've barely used terminal at all. I just downloaded a file, then went to change the filename, and it said I didn't have permissions.
[19:14] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: without seeing some terminal output, it would be difficult to guess
[19:14] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: in general though, 777 should have given you permission
[19:14] <MrNumber3isme> tgm4883 What kind of output would you want to see?
[19:15] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: output of you running the command, output from 'pwd', output from 'ls -l ../', output from 'mount', and output from 'whoami' for starters
[19:15] <platz> drobban: virtual as in emulate a second monitor
[19:16] <platz> drobban: so that one could switch to the 'second monitor' and use it just like a real monitor
[19:16] <ioria> MrNumber3isme, so also .local and subfolders are 777 ?
[19:16] <platz> i.e. it would be recognized as an "output" in xrandr

[19:21] <lotuspsychje> !ops | N3TN1NJ4 spambot
[19:21] <ioria> MrNumber3isme, why are you root ?
[19:28] <tgm4883> Yay
[19:28] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: and what about you running the command (trying to rename the file)
[19:28] <tgm4883> (now that we can all talk again :) )
[19:28] <MrNumber3isme> I don't know how
[19:29] <urnottherealskri> yo
[19:29] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: you don't know how to try and rename a file?
[19:29] <MrNumber3isme> not in terminal.
[19:29] <tgm4883> ah
[19:29] <macchan> does anyone here know how to use the UEFI shell?
[19:29] <Patoo> hey
[19:29] <MrNumber3isme> the gile is /home/thiomas/Desktop/11.jpg
[19:29] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: just "mv OLDFILENAME NEWFILENAME"
[19:29] <MrNumber3isme> *File
[19:30] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: and then our second question, why are you running those commands as root?
[19:30] <MrNumber3isme> Okay. ... it worked beautifully in terminal.
[19:30] <macchan> does anyone know typical windows mount and map commands?
[19:31] <rww> sounds like a job for ##windows
[19:31] <macchan> ill see if they have a channel
[19:31] <macchan> i cant install ubuntu, thats why i ask here
[19:31] <MrNumber3isme> sorry, I was running root out of pure laziness. got tired of typing su chmod, so I just his sudo -s instead. should I not have done that?
[19:32] <daftykins> never run 'su'
[19:32] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: well doing a mv on the file as root doesn't help us troubleshoot
[19:33] <daftykins> actually i'm more thinking of sudo su, nevermind
[19:33]  * daftykins walks back out
[19:33] <MrNumber3isme> I'll try again after logging off root
[19:34] <MrNumber3isme> that worked as well.
[19:34] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: but from nautilus it fails?
[19:35] <MrNumber3isme> tgm4883 yep. could it be some kind of issue where nautilus has lost permissions?
[19:35] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: what if you close and reopen nautilus?
[19:35] <platz> ok so sumatraPdf running through wine is better than evince..  lets not talk about xpdf
[19:36] <platz> and renders faster, counter-intuitively
[19:36] <lotuspsychje> platz: tryed mupdf?
[19:36] <platz> i'll try it now
[19:36] <MrNumber3isme> tgm4883 Wow. the good old fashioned "unplug it and plug it back in" fix worked.
[19:37] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: now you just need to fix all your permissions
[19:37] <MrNumber3isme> now that I've mucked that up by applying chmod 777 to my home, what would be a better setting?
[19:38] <platz> i'll admit mupdf is fast, but not much in the way of zoom / page features
[19:38] <LolPodOne> Hello
[19:38] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: There isn't a blanket setting we can apply to the home directory
[19:39] <ioria> MrNumber3isme, your home has a lot of hidden subfolders ... each with their permissions...
[19:39] <LolPodOne> Permissions on the SMPT Mail ? I have a Bug on Xubuntu
[19:39] <LolPodOne> Sorry
[19:39] <MrNumber3isme> oh yippee. that being said, what kind of issues can I expect with 777 permissions?
[19:39] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: I'd make a new user, add them to sudo group, then move anything over I wanted to save
[19:39] <veXx> for /home you should have it 755, for /home/{user} id recommend 750
[19:40] <LolPodOne> Sorry ,,,
[19:40] <LolPodOne> Help Me
[19:40] <MrNumber3isme> probably the best option. Thank you all for your help
[19:40] <veXx> 777, other can write
[19:40] <veXx> and view
[19:41] <tgm4883> veXx: worth mentioning that I believe 750 breaks SSH
[19:41] <veXx> i believe default for /home/{user} is 755 but dont particularly care for this as other can peruse your files
[19:41] <MrNumber3isme> I'm the only user, so I'm not worried about others reading my files
[19:42] <veXx> i would not leave it at 777 regardless
[19:43] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: stuff could break, there isn't an exhaustive list (for obvious reasons). As I mentioned, I believe SSH doesn't work with that level of access
[19:43] <emnz> I just discovered "Cardapio" but it seems way outdated, pleeeease tell me is still around in another way?
[19:43] <emnz> it is still**
[19:43] <veXx> thats why i gave him the default, 755
[19:44] <emnz> I have to have this!! http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Cardapio.jpg
[19:44] <tgm4883> veXx: 755 also breaks SSH. SSH requires some pretty limited permissions (I think 600)
[19:45] <tgm4883> veXx: my point simply being that there isn't a blanket level of permissions you can give to everything in /home and have it work
[19:45] <bekks> Using chmod -R on /home/user breaks ssh permissions, usually.
[19:45] <MonkeyDust> emnz  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/cardapio-menu-gets-gnome-shell.html
[19:45] <MrNumber3isme> My machine is not networked to anything else, if that helps. unless I need SSH for something else
[19:45] <tgm4883> MrNumber3isme: I've already made my recommendation
[19:46] <platz> actually mupdf is pretty good now that i've found the keyboard shortcuts - only thing i can't find is 'bookmarks' which is claimed on the site
[19:46] <ioria> MrNumber3isme, new user ?
[19:47] <MrNumber3isme> I'll probably just end up creating a new user.
[19:50] <ubuntu637> Hello all thank you for having me. Question - If I do a Hex Dump on Ubunutu 14 would the hex dump include every monitors firmware known to man as already installed?
[19:51] <daftykins> what exactly do you mean when you say hex dump? :P
[19:53] <akik> ubuntu637: you need to get your hacker's license somewhere else
[19:54] <ubuntu637> On Ubuntu when I do  man hexdump and get all the readouts, it shows firmware for every known computer screen monitor during the output. Is this normal?
[19:55] <tyler_d> ubuntu637: you mean it shows all of the 'supported' monitors
[19:55] <daftykins> that's reading a manual page, it's not doing anything like that :P
[19:55] <tyler_d> ubuntu637: it's not 'All' of the monitors.... and furthermore, what daftykins said
[19:56] <test12345> looks like a normal manpage to me
[19:56] <ubuntu637> ok cool, let me go look that up. Thanks for the help
[19:56] <akik> :)
[19:57] <MonkeyDust> makes me think of "that's no bug, it's an option"
[19:57] <EriC^^> it's just an undocumented feature
[19:57] <jhutchins> ubuntu637: Hex dump of what?
[19:58] <Polywiz> every time i try to install ubuntu via a live SD card, it tries to install grub to the SD card. is this normal behavior?
[19:59] <lotuspsychje> Polywiz: wich device are you installing to?
[19:59] <EriC^^> Polywiz: yup
[19:59] <Polywiz> to clarify, the expected bahavoir is to install it on the same medium that i am install ubuntu on (my hard drive)
[19:59] <EriC^^> Polywiz: i mean, no
[19:59] <ubuntu637> I'll be baaa-k
[19:59] <EriC^^> Polywiz: why do you think it's installing grub to your sd card?
[19:59] <curiousx> lel, like Terminator :D
[20:01] <dodo_> Hello, where can I find the boot parameters list for the LiveCD?
[20:01] <jhutchins> dodo_: Which boot parameters are you looking for?
[20:02] <dodo_> jhutchins: I want to set language and locale if those parameters exists
[20:03] <cuddylier> Is it possible for the /etc/security/limits.conf  to take affect without a reboot?
[20:04] <sander> When I try to do apt-get upgrade. I get: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-57-generic: depends: linux-image 3.13.0-57-generic but is not going to be installed.
[20:05] <jhutchins> dodo_: I've never seen those paramaters set at boot, but it might be possible.
[20:05] <daftykins> sander: show "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" and "sudo apt-get -f install" in a pastebin
[20:06] <jhutchins> dodo_: Looks like it is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[20:06] <k1l_> sander: make sure "linux-generic" is installed. that should pull all the needed stuff. and run a "apt-get update" first to get a new package list from the servers
[20:07] <dodo_> jhutchins, yes, I went to that page, and at the end, it says: This list is not comprehensive but it contains some common boot options which may be added to the end of the boot command.
[20:07] <sander> k1l_, /boot is full. I have 6 kernels installed..
[20:07] <dodo_> i will keep searching
[20:07] <MonkeyDust> sander  what's the output of   uname -r
[20:07] <k1l_> sander: well, then remove the old kernel packages first: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" and then see what packages do have a "ii" in front.
[20:08] <TLoFP> hi, I am mounting an NFS share (windows server) and I can only access it via the root user, how can I mount it in a manner that the ordinary user has access to it?
[20:08] <k1l_> sander: then remove the packages with "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-..."
[20:08] <sander> k1l_, Can I put ubuntu to automaticly delete old kernels when I install a new one?
[20:09] <jhutchins> sander: Sounds like you need to fix your system first, then try the upgrade.  A cleanup is always a good preliminary step for an upgrade.
[20:09] <k1l_> sander: that should be doing it automatic.
[20:09] <k1l_> sander: but that depends on you having the right meta-package. so make the cleanup first and then we can fix the other issue
[20:10] <goddard> how do you sign PDF documents in linux?
[20:13] <jhutchins> goddard: It depends on how the document was originally prepared.
[20:13] <sander> k1l_, Ok. I ended up removing some initrd's.. as everything was fucked up becouse of full disk.
[20:13] <k1l_> sander: :/
[20:14] <sander> I wasnt even able to apt-get remove
[20:14] <sander> That failed
[20:14] <goddard> jhutchins: i just want to be able to write on any PDF document
[20:14] <k1l_> sander: please pastebin a "dpkg -l | grep linux-image"
[20:14] <goddard> jhutchins: that isn't locked or what ever
[20:14] <sander> k1l_, ok.
[20:15] <jhutchins> goddard: PDF is designed to have you modify the source document then generate a PDF.  It's not meant to be an editable format, although people have kludged it to work in some cases.
[20:16] <jhutchins> goddard: Depending on how the PDF was created, there are various editors in Linux, but not all editors will work witl all documents.
[20:17] <Guest30856> !list
[20:18] <OerHeks> Guest30856, torrents are all here http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ LoLz
[20:18] <sander> k1l_, http://paste.ubuntu-com/12411812
[20:19] <bprompt> goddard:     you'd want to "write" on pdf, what does that mean?   just takes notes? or write dribbles on it? or remainders? highlights?
[20:19] <k1l_> sander: what is "uname -a" now?
[20:20] <sander> k1l_, 3.13.0-52
[20:21] <k1l_> sander: "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic linux-image-3.13.0-49-generic linux-image-3.13.0-51-generic"
[20:23] <sander> k1l_, Looks like that works :-)
[20:24] <christhawkins>  /nick christhawkins
[20:24] <k1l_> sander: after that make sure  to have "linux-generic" installed.
[20:25] <k1l_> sander: then do a "sudo apt-get autoremove" which should remove older packages that are not needed anymore
[20:26] <sander> linux-generic was already installed
[20:26] <sander> k1l_, autoremove already done
[20:27] <sander> k1l_, What happens over and over again.. is that kernels is installed without reboot. And fills up disk.. so.. they should only have 2 max 3 kernels at the same time.
[20:28] <bekks> sander: Take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels
[20:43] <changnesia> Hey guys, I want to create a bootable usb using dd. Is this the correct command?
[20:43] <changnesia> dd if=/path/to/the/iso of=/dev/sdb
[20:44] <changnesia> sdb being the mounted usb drive
[20:44] <k1l_> changnesia: yes. but the iso needs to be a hybrid iso, which the ubuntu ones are.
[20:44] <changnesia> Hm. It's debian what I want to write actually
[20:45] <changnesia> The minimal install version
[20:45] <bprompt> changnesia:    yes, is fine
[20:45] <changnesia> bprompt: thank you!
[20:45] <bprompt> np
[20:47] <Neo> greetings everyone!
[20:47] <Neo> how do I set the console framebuffer resolution?
[20:47] <Neo> preferably during kernel start
[20:48] <changnesia> btw. how do I know it's done? It says 259 MB copied, can I umount now?
[20:49] <bprompt> changnesia:     when the prompt returns :), how big is the iso?  is the stick usb 1.1 or 2.0?
[20:50] <changnesia> bprompt: It came up almost instantly. I think it's 3.0, it's not mine so I didn't really check.
[20:51] <bprompt> changnesia:    well... for the usb3.0 speed to work, the usb stick has to be usb3.0 type and the port has to also be usb3.0 port, if either is not, the speed goes as low as the lower one of either
[20:51] <Neo> well if it's usb 3.0 the tongues of the usb 3.0 will be blue
[20:51] <Neo> y
[20:51] <Neo> err
[20:51] <bprompt> changnesia:     but say... an iso of 1gb over usb 2.0, would take around 5-7mins to write
[20:51] <Slugs_> hi
[20:51] <changnesia> bprompt: Yes i know. All my ports are 3.0. And the iso is 250 MB
[20:52] <changnesia> Neo: I don't know if I can remove it, it's hard to check with it plugged in. But it's 3.0, I turned my light on and it's written on the drive
[20:52] <bprompt> changnesia:   ok... well, your ports maybe 3.0, doesn't mean the usb stick is though, if the stick is usb 1.1, it'd take much longer, but 250mbs is peanuts, thus it came back so fast
[20:52] <Neo> fbset returns "open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory"
[20:53] <Slugs_> is this a good place to dicuss openstack preinstalled on 15.04?
[20:53] <changnesia> bprompt: I know, I know. It's not my pendirve, so I can't be too sure, haha. But it does say 3.0 on it
[20:53] <bprompt> Slugs_:   I'd think not, since that'd be an app specific matter, as opposed to OS specific
[20:54] <Slugs_> ok thank you
[20:54] <changnesia> My usb stick is 2.0, so I don't really know how fast 3.0 is in reality.
[20:55] <changnesia> my personal one, not the one I'm using
[20:55] <OerHeks> Slugs_, openstack is an install option in ubuntu-server.
[20:55] <bprompt> changnesia:  yeap, if the stick is 2.0, then the port is using 2.0 backward compatibility speed, not 3.0
[20:55] <OerHeks> Slugs_, http://i.stack.imgur.com/WGJlN.jpg
[20:56] <changnesia> bprompt: That's why I was asking, I've never seen 3.0 in action, so I didn't want to umount in the middle of writing
[20:56] <Slugs_> OerHeks: I was looking for this!
[20:56] <Slugs_> OerHeks: I don’t see it in 15.04 LTS
[20:57] <Slugs_> OerHeks: I must have downloded the incorrect iso
[20:57] <bprompt> changnesia:    but as aforementioned, 250mbs is peanuts, on a 2.0 stick I'd think it'd take less than 2mins
[20:57] <OerHeks> Slugs_, 15.04 lts SERVER ?
[20:58] <changnesia> bprompt: Exactly. And now it came up almost instantly. Scared me a little, haha.
[20:58] <Slugs_> OerHeks: https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2015/05/26/ubuntu-1504-provides-openstack-kilo-preinstalled-for-easier-deployments-on-onp
[20:59] <SCHAAP137> gonna do 15.04 -> 15.10 now
[20:59] <OerHeks> Slugs_, they talk about Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) Server
[21:00] <Slugs_> OerHeks: yes, correct
[21:01] <MonkeyDust> Slugs_  thing is, 15.04 is not lts
[21:01] <Slugs_> MonkeyDust: i see
[21:02] <Slugs_> I’m fine with it not being LTS im sorry i said that
[21:02] <Slugs_> i jsut want the open to install openstack just like the pic you sent OerHeks
[21:02] <Slugs_> *option
[21:02] <Slugs_> what do i need to download specifiically to get that?
[21:03] <Slugs_> “By just installing Ubuntu 15.04 you have a working copy of Openstack Kilo and all you have to do is point your favorite browser to Horizon to get going."
[21:04] <OerHeks> Slugs_, i thin you are on 15.04 DESKTOP, not server, and only 64 bit server got this option, i think
[21:06] <Slugs_> DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
[21:06] <Slugs_> DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.04
[21:06] <Slugs_> DISTRIB_CODENAME=vivid
[21:06] <Slugs_> DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 15.04"
[21:08] <Slugs_> i installed the server verision
[21:08] <Slugs_> ubuntu-15.04-server-amd64.iso
[21:08] <Slugs_> this is the iso i downloaded
[21:11] <OerHeks> Slugs_, just checked with virtualbox, standard 15.04 server does not have kilo. i guess this must be a special iso..
[21:12] <Slugs_> OerHeks: thank you very much
[21:12] <Slugs_> OerHeks: I have the same results
[21:12] <Slugs_> OerHeks: I will check into this further, thank you for looking though
[21:13] <OerHeks> Slugs_, you might want to check out #ubuntu-server too.
[21:13] <Slugs_> will do, thank you
[21:14] <josue_> hi, some know how to solve libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo error?
[21:23] <scottder> anyone here good with nfs issues....
[21:23] <daftykins> just ask
[21:23] <scottder> I can't mount nfs home dirs, and see this in the logs:
[21:23] <scottder> Sep 14 17:16:19 qa0 rpc.gssd[18883]: ERROR: unable to resolve <IP_ADDRESS> to hostname: Name or service not known
[21:24] <k1l_> i am very good at nfs issues. i produce them a lot ;p
[21:24] <scottder> heh
[21:24] <tomodachi> how come http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ doesnt contain anything fresher than  v4.2
[21:24] <scottder> this same said nfs server is working just fine for other hosts
[21:24] <tomodachi> scottder: thats a weird error, why would NFS care about resolv?
[21:24] <daftykins> scottder: any hardcoded hosts file entries help? differing DNS?
[21:25] <k1l_> tomodachi: they seem to be working on 4.2 to make that ready for 15.10
[21:25] <tomodachi> k1l_: ah , that could explain it thnx :)
[21:26] <josue_> some can run android emulator in vbox ubuntu virtual machine?
[21:26] <jodanpotasu> hello can i ask u for something?
[21:27] <jodanpotasu> i have problem with cron (basic)
[21:27] <josue_>  some know how to solve libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo error?
[21:27] <k1l_> tomodachi: well, that is my guess. but #ubuntu-kernel could get a better answer
[21:27] <tgm4883> jodanpotasu: just ask
[21:27] <curiousx> josue_: there is a native android sdk for ubuntu
[21:28] <curiousx> josue_: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
[21:29] <josue_> a error about opengl vbox driver show with glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[21:29] <josue_> I'm already installed android sdk, but when I'll run a emulator show those bug
[21:31] <curiousx> josue_: run the emulator from the terminal and paste those bugs
[21:31] <hizz> can anyone help me get bluetooth working on my ubuntu??
[21:32] <OerHeks> tomodachi, 'newer' than 4.2? https://www.kernel.org/  4.3rc1 is just out, be patient.
[21:32] <lapinozz> can i use the xlib to close a window i didnt craete?
[21:33] <jhutchins> If an nfs server was set to export to a domain instead of an IP it might have problems with an unresolvable host.
[21:33] <josue_> libGL error: core dri or dri2 extension not found
[21:33] <josue_> libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo
[21:38] <josue_> ( Some know which ports are available over irc.hispano.org network diferent to 6667 )
[21:43] <curiousx> josue_: what is your ubuntu version ?
[21:43] <linuxnewbie22> I uninstalled a program from my account, and I'm the administrator. However it's on other user's accounts still. How do I remove the program from their account as well?
[21:44] <william__> Hi, I'm new to using Ubuntu and want to learn terminal prompts. Where's the best place to start?
[21:44] <josue_> curiousx 15.04
[21:45] <linuxnewbie22> william: ss64.com/bash/
[21:45] <william__> thxs
[21:46] <curiousx> josue_: to fix virtualbox try this: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
[21:46] <josue_> already did
[21:47] <linuxnewbie22> william: Type 'ls /bash' into the terminal without the quotes.
[21:47] <josue_> same bug, with diferent versions
[21:47] <acethebass> hello
[21:47] <linuxnewbie22> william: I mean 'ls /bin'
[21:48] <acethebass> how can i control my computer fan speed
[21:48] <linuxnewbie22> william__: Also, type man before a command to get info on it.
[21:48] <william__> Good to know
[21:49] <acethebass> how can i control my computer fan speed
[21:49] <curiousx> josue_: it is a confirmed bug: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12941  but some guys manage to fix get 3d accel workin' with vbox addition, some other not :p
[21:50] <linuxnewbie22> acethebass: http://askubuntu.com/questions/22108/how-to-control-fan-speed
[21:50] <josue_> it depend of video card?
[21:51] <OerHeks> josue_, does the host have a videodriver installed, or running on the opendriver?
[21:52] <josue_> host is windows 7 with all drivers ok... how can I check a driver loaded for driver video in ubuntu?
[21:52] <josue_> may be are a propietary vbox driver option to select
[21:53] <OerHeks> josue_, oke, then i think you need to go into the settings of the vm, give more ram to vbox, or other 3d setting.
[21:53] <OerHeks> * more ram to video in vbox
[21:53] <josue_> ah
[21:53] <josue_> ok I'll try
[21:54] <linuxnewbie22> josue_: Before you can change the settings you have to shut down virtual machine you're running.
[21:55] <josue_> yes, otherwise can't
[21:55] <josue_> I'll back later
[21:59] <josue_> fail, not working gl
[21:59] <josue_> I can downgrade a OpenGL lib - mesa version?
[22:03] <linuxnewbie22> josue_: Sure there's documentation for installing and uninstalling on here: http://www.mesa3d.org/
[22:04] <acethebass> i have a ipaq compaq pc how can i control fan spee
[22:04] <acethebass> d
[22:04] <linuxnewbie22> josue_: I'm not sure if there's documentation for uninstalling, actually. But yes for installing.
[22:05] <linuxnewbie22> acethebass: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors fancontrol
[22:06] <linuxnewbie22> acethebass: Have you looked at this website? http://askubuntu.com/questions/22108/how-to-control-fan-speed
[22:06] <acethebass> yes
[22:06] <acethebass> nothing worked
[22:07] <acethebass> the cpu fan runs full speed and the fan one plug changes
[22:08] <linuxnewbie22> acethebass: Which version of Ubuntu do you have?
[22:12] <linuxnewbie22> acethebass: If lm-sensors and fancontrol doesn't work for you, it could potentially be because of the kernel or hardware.
[22:14] <linuxnewbie22> acethebass: lm-sensors changes the fan speed when the temperature rises, and slows down the fans when the temperature is between a range of degrees Celsius, or whatever you set it at.
[22:15] <acethebass> i know its just that my pentium 3 generates little heat
[22:15] <rumpy1> hello
[22:17] <rumpy1> im trying to update the bios on my lenovo b5400, only .exe file is provided by lenovo. i tried to extract it to get the image, but it doesnt seem to contain an .iso or .img file? can anyone tell me what choices do i have in order to update the bios with having only ubuntu installation?
[22:17] <daftykins> rumpy1: typically Lenovo provide bootable ISOs in another download, if not contact them. Bad idea trying to hack your way to performing such a serious task.
[22:18] <rumpy1> http://support.lenovo.com/in/hi/downloads/ds102695
[22:18] <rumpy1> it says bootable cd, but i can only see an .exe file. am i missing something?
[22:19] <linuxnewbie22> rumpy1: Here are your options: Windows System Repair Disc, USB Recovery Drive, FreeDOS, flashrom, and WINE.
[22:21] <linuxnewbie22> rumpy1: Go to this website. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
[22:21] <linuxnewbie22> rumpy1: It also lists option for Lenovo.
[22:25] <rumpy1> even the readme says that there should be an iso file.. bleh
[22:26] <OerHeks> rumpy1, that exe is just an unpacker, and delivers an iso
[22:26] <rumpy1> no, i unpacked it and theres no .iso or .img
[22:26] <daftykins> i ran it and got no ISO :(
[22:27] <rumpy1> bunch of .exes and .pat files
[22:27] <linuxnewbie22> rumpy1: On the website it says exe. "BIOS Update (Bootable CD) exe"
[22:27] <daftykins> just because it says that doesn't change the fact that it does not provide one :P
[22:28] <rumpy1> ill try to contact lenovo then
[22:28] <daftykins> sounds like a plan
[22:29] <linuxnewbie22> rumpy1: Why not unpack the exe on a friends windows computer to get the iso or go to this website for the documentation for doing it on Ubuntu? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
[22:29] <daftykins> linuxnewbie22: you. do not. get. an ISO. get it? :)
[22:30] <rumpy1> linuxnewbie22: the .exe provided does not contain an image
[22:30] <linuxnewbie22> daftykins: you. can. use. wine. to run the exe. get it?
[22:31] <rumpy1> i tried wine and innoextract, no difference
[22:31] <daftykins> linuxnewbie22: no, i'm telling you i just ran it on Windows and it doesn't make an ISO - please stop guessing and passing it off as help.
[22:32] <linuxnewbie22> daftykins: Well, you didn't say that you tried that. I'm just saying it's a possibility.
[22:32] <daftykins> well don't guess in future
[22:32] <daftykins> a BIOS update is not something you want to trifle with
[22:32] <darius93> why dont ubuntu sticks with an lts kernel for their lts edition instead of upgrading it to versions thats going eol or already is eol?
[22:34] <rumpy1> anyway, ill try contacting lenovo and ask for an .iso
[22:34] <rumpy1> fingers crossed
[22:34] <k1l> darius93: because it supports the version with own manpower
[22:34] <daftykins> darius93: those kernels stay supported, (HWEs is their real name)
[22:36] <emnz> whats the best image viewer in your opinion? I used irfanview in windows
[22:37] <jpds> emnz: eog ?
[22:37] <k1l> emnz: i dont have special needs and use what unity ships for me. eog (eye of gnome) iirc
[22:37] <linuxnewbie22> rumpy1: There's an iso that supports Lenovo B5400 here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds025448
[22:38] <bprompt> emnz:    I use Gwenview, is kinda close to Picasa, then again, many folks also like Picasa, and you can install that too
[22:39] <rumpy1> linuxnewbie22: erm, but thats not the bios upgrade .iso ..?
[22:40] <darius93> daftykins, yea but HWE are supported by the ubuntu team during the lifetime of the LTS. For example iirc in the HWE they skipped 3.14 and went to 3.16 and soon to skip 3.18 and goto 3.19. If thats the case they shouldve went to 4.x and no im not going to manually install 4.x before someone suggest it too -_-
[22:40] <Doinky> anyone have a minimal chopped down iso for T begalbone embedded device
[22:41] <emnz> k1l rumpy1 ty
[22:42] <k1l> darius93: 4.0 was not released when 14.04 was in feature freeze
[22:42] <jpastore> hi is there an ubuntuphone channel?
[22:42] <k1l> darius93: and the HWEs are the backported kernels from 14.10, 15.04 and 15.10
[22:42] <Doinky> try /list
[22:42] <k1l> !phone | jpastore
[22:42] <jpastore> thanks
[22:43] <uRock> Is there a line in one of the .mozill files I can edit to get it's dictionary to stop reverting to EN-GB?
[22:43] <uRock> I've tried this line, but still goes back; {code}user_pref("spellchecker.dictionary", "en-US");{/code}
[22:44] <bprompt> uRock:    checked -> about:config <- lists yet? maybe you're missing a boolean, though I don't see one
[22:47] <daftykins> uRock: ask in mozilla's channels perhaps
[22:48] <OerHeks> Doinky, ask in #ubuntu-arm, as that beagle thing is AM3358 ARM® Cortex™-A8 = Arm
[22:50] <NGC3982> After stopping and starting motion my webcam simply wont show anything but a grey image. What can i do? Motion does not give any error messages. I have checked lsusb, and re-plugged the USB webcam.
[22:50] <NGC3982> Also, i can't seem to find anyone that has a relatable issue. Most grey screens seem to also show the "Can't locate video signal" error message.
[22:51] <Doinky> thanksa
[22:53] <NGC3982> http://pastebin.com/EKJq2ncL
[22:53] <NGC3982> That is the motion start output
[22:56] <Nectar> I have this application called PacketTracer. I can launch it from terminal by typing 'packettracer' , but how do i make a icon to lauch it?
[22:59] <Nectar> How do I add an icon to the gnome dock?
[23:01] <mcphail> Nectar: you'd need to create a .desktop file
[23:01] <kostkon> Nectar, http://askubuntu.com/q/281293/1651
[23:01] <Nectar> I have a desktop file now and it works. Do you know how to add it to the gnome dock?
[23:05] <mcphail> Nectar: I don't use gnome, but does it show if you move the .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications/ ?
[23:05] <uRock> bprompt and daftykins , thanks
[23:07] <Nectar> mcphail: its in the menu system now. not the dock though
[23:08] <mcphail> Nectar: I don't know how the gnome dock works. On Unity, you can just drag the icon into the dock
[23:10] <Nectar> mcphail: ah. Show applications and then you can drag them on.
[23:11] <RevertToType> so I'm trying to manage what folders a user "sees" in an x filemanager... is there any guide or help concerning say making it so a user can only see removable media?
[23:11] <RevertToType> specifically just a xorg session without a wm/de
[23:19] <uRock> NGC3982, how are you viewing motion? I have an HTML script I use to view it.
[23:26] <uRock> #Firefox has proven to not be helpful at all, but I tried.
[23:32] <Aqui1a> Hey.. I've got another problem o.o I had this on my previous install, I didn't think it'd happen again. No sound devices are listed for either Output or Input... Also there's no sound.

[17:27] <sakrecoer> ISO looking good so far :)
[17:29] <sakrecoer> i guess the graphics menu could be tidy up.. but not sure its possible since we havn't got any uploader..
