[14:43] <cjohnson> How can I reinstall libc6 without having apt check for and remove dependencies? I don't want to have to reinstall 100 packages
[14:47] <NickMessing> Hello, did someone compile Objective C in Ubuntu?
[14:48] <NickMessing> "gnustep-config --objc-flags" gives no output
[14:52] <red_> ich bekomme mein wlan nicht ans laufen vom Lenovoe335 usb klapt eth auch
[14:52] <cfhowlett> !de | red_
[14:54] <Julia7> Hi! Does anyone know why "start-tor-browser" opens up in "Text Editor" when I double-click it?
[14:54] <NickMessing> So, who has experience with Objective C (GNUstep) in Ubuntu and can help me with my "gnustep-config --objc-flags" no output problem?
[14:55] <daftykins> why do people keep using this Tor browser thing? it's based on like, Firefox 17 or something insane - riddled with security holes
[14:55] <Ntemis> hello
[14:55] <Julia7> daftykins: Uhm...
[14:55] <Julia7> To access .onion sites?
[14:55] <carter1> Julia7, it's a script, so you're opening the script
[14:56] <carter1> what you need to do is run it
[14:56] <daftykins> Julia7: read the second part of my sentence. it's unsafe.
[14:56] <Julia7> carter1: How do I run it?
[14:56] <Ntemis> my server stop asking me for kernel updates after i clean up the old ones
[14:56] <carter1> make sure you have the script set executable
[14:56] <Ntemis> how i fix this?
[14:56] <daftykins> Ntemis: check linux-generic is installed
[14:56] <Julia7> daftykins: No, it's not.
[14:56] <carter1> and then you can just do ./tor-start-browser from the command line
[14:56] <Julia7> carter1: I need you to teach me how to make it executable.
[14:56] <daftykins> Julia7: hah, you have no idea :) nevermind then, enjoy
[14:56] <carter1> sudo chmod 770 start-tor-browser
[14:56] <minimec> Julia7: probably the script is not executable -> 'chmod +x start-tor-browser'
[14:57] <carter1> or that works too xD
[14:57] <Julia7> Give me a minute.
[14:57] <EriC^> Julia7: you don't double click it for it to run, it's a script
[14:58] <mekhami> are there any os-level system cleanup things i should be doing similar to Windows Disk Cleanup? My ubuntu install has gotten consistently slower over the last year
[14:58] <Julia7> carter1: minimec: EriC^: How can I make it a clickable shortcut on my desktop?
[14:58] <EriC^> Julia7: you don't need to chmod +x it, open a terminal type cd tor<tab> and hit enter then type ./start<tab> and hit enter
[14:58] <Ntemis> daftykins: linux-generic-lts-utopic is already the newest version
[14:58] <MonkeyDust> mekhami  there's bleachbit and 3rd party apps, like Janitor in Ubuntu-Tweak
[14:58] <EriC^> Julia7: you'll need to create a .desktop file
[14:59] <carter1> hrm, i think i did that once Julia7, but it's been so long since i've used ubuntu as a gui i don't quite remember
[14:59] <carter1> xD
[14:59] <Julia7> carter1: Oh. :(
[14:59] <Julia7> EriC^: I wouldn't know how to do that!
[14:59] <EriC^> Julia7: are you sure you need to use it in the first place? it would make your connection a lot slower
[14:59] <Julia7> EriC^: I need it to access .onion sites.
[14:59] <EriC^> it has to jump across 4 servers i believe
[14:59] <EriC^> ok
[15:00] <EriC^> Julia7: first get it running as i said
[15:00] <Dvine> the onion is very funny site
[15:00] <carter1> mekhami, go to a command line and type "top"
[15:00] <carter1> it will give you a nice list of what's using up your cpu and ram
[15:01] <EriC^> Julia7: as for the .desktop file, open a terminal and type cd /usr/share/applications , and type ls, then pick any .desktop file and make a copy using sudo cp <desktop file> <tor-desktop-file>
[15:01] <Kali_Yuga> is there an offtopic section?
[15:01] <cfhowlett> !ot | Kali_Yuga
[15:01] <bazhang> !ot
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> Kali_Yuga  #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:02] <Julia7> EriC^: I give up. It's too complicated for me.
[15:02] <Kali_Yuga> thx
[15:02] <EriC^> Julia7: then type sudo nano <tor-desktop-file> , and in the Exec= part type Exec=bash /home/<your user>/tor..../start-tor-browser
[15:02] <EriC^> Julia7: it's really easy
[15:03] <EriC^> Julia7: i'll make it easier but it's worthwhile to know how to make one, hold on
[15:03] <Julia7> EriC^: Not for me. I don't understand half of what you just typed.
[15:03] <carter1> Julia7, you might benefit from an introductory book on linux or something then
[15:03] <Julia7> carter1: Maybe.
[15:03] <Dvine> just RTFM
[15:04] <EriC^> Julia7: make an empty document on your desktop and call it start-tor.desktop
[15:04] <bazhang> Dvine, not welcome here, ever
[15:04] <Julia7> EriC^: Done.
[15:04] <cfhowlett> Dvine, not helpful, not acceptable
[15:04] <Dvine> you r not supposed to read the man pages?
[15:04] <bazhang> Dvine, take the chit chat elsewhere NOT here
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> just checked: Tor uses firefox 36 (in ubuntu 15.04, on vmware)
[15:05] <Dvine> lol
[15:05] <daftykins> Ntemis: that's not what i said though (:
[15:05] <cjohnson> I'm trying to build mosh from source and when I ./configure it complains about "configure: error: cannot find protoc, the Protocol Buffers compiler". I've installed libprotobuf and libprotoc and every variant I can see (-dev, -lite, etc) and ./configure still can't find it. What am I missing?
[15:05] <Dvine> thats not nice
[15:05] <bazhang> Dvine, cut it out NOW
[15:06] <EriC^> Julia7: open the file with gedit and paste this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10661367/
[15:06] <EriC^> modify the <your user>/tor-browser-blabla/start-tor-browser
[15:06]  * Dvine hacks it out
[15:06] <EriC^> make sure you get the right names for them all
[15:06] <Julia7> EriC^: OMG! Now I can't open the .desktop file.
[15:07] <EriC^> lol, how come?
[15:07] <Julia7> EriC^: I'm trying to right-click it, but it doesn't give me the option to open it in my text editor.
[15:08] <mflow> Any ideas what I get undefined reference to symbol 'dlclose@@GLIBC_2.2.5' ?
[15:08] <EriC^> Julia7: double click it
[15:08] <Nikhil> when I press the file icon on taskbar it creates a new window instead of opening the previous window?
[15:08] <EriC^> Julia7: hold on, try open with
[15:08] <Nikhil> how can I resolve it?
[15:08] <Julia7> EriC^: I could just drag it into the text editor. I got it working now.
[15:09] <EriC^> ok cool
[15:09] <Julia7> EriC^: Now what? :P
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> Nikhil  move the mouse over thz taskbar, then roll the mouse wheel
[15:09] <Nikhil> oh, I got it :)
[15:09] <Nikhil> thanks MonkeyDust :)
[15:10] <EriC^> Julia7: paste the stuff from the link
[15:10] <Julia7> EriC^: I already did.
[15:10] <EriC^> ok, save it and try to double click it
[15:10] <Julia7> EriC^: "Untrusted application launcher"...
[15:13] <EriC^> Julia7: try typing sudo cp ~/Desktop/start-tor.desktop /usr/share/applications/
[15:13] <Julia7> EriC^: Done.
[15:13] <Julia7> No errors.
[15:14] <EriC^> ok, type nautilus /usr/share/applications
[15:14] <EriC^> then try to double click it
[15:14] <mekhami> why can i not tab-complete dpkg -r <.deb file>
[15:15] <EriC^> i think we have to have it launch in a terminal.. my bad..
[15:15] <Julia7> EriC^: It's not in there...
[15:15] <Julia7> Oh?
[15:15] <EriC^> Julia7: it should be there, look for TorBrowser
[15:15] <Julia7> EriC^: I'm dumb. XD
[15:15] <Julia7> It's there.
[15:16] <Julia7> EriC^: But nothing happens when I double-click it.
[15:16] <EriC^> ok, type gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/start-tor.desktop
[15:17] <daftykins> mekhami: because that's not how you remove a .deb - you need to know the package's name - which is not its' file name
[15:17] <daftykins> mekhami: try "dpkg -l | grep <name of package>"
[15:17] <philip> am trying to install webmin but i get this:Package 'libauthen-pam-perl' has no installation candidate
[15:18] <Julia7> EriC^: This is really, really weird.
[15:18] <Julia7> EriC^: It wanted me to enter my admin password and told me that it was wrong like 4 times.
[15:18] <DJones> !webmin | philip
[15:19] <philip> so how can i resolve them.
[15:19] <Julia7> EriC^: It worked now. What do I do?
[15:19] <EriC^> Julia7: ok cool
[15:19] <philip> cos am trying to restart my iptables
[15:20] <philip> but no command is wirking, i have tried service iptables restart
[15:20] <Julia7> EriC^: Phone. Be right back.
[15:21] <Ntemis> daftykins: fixed
[15:21] <daftykins> that's nice
[15:21] <daftykins> !ufw | philip
[15:24] <teward> is there any way to get gnupg 2 in Ubuntu Trusty?
[15:24] <philip> mean i cant user webmin on ubuntu server anymore
[15:25] <cfhowlett> !webmin | philip,
[15:25] <cfhowlett> doh! djones is already on the case.  sorry for repost
[15:25] <mustmodify> I need someone to help me reinstall my OS, preferably without the aide of a CD drive since my drive has apparently failed.
[15:26] <carter1> mustmodify, just do a usb installer
[15:26] <RMJ> mustmodify - boot from a USB stick which you can create using startup disk creator in ubuntu
[15:27] <mustmodify> How big of a USB stick do I need? Do I just copy the files from the ISO to the stick?
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> mustmodify  the iso is 1GB or so
[15:27] <RMJ> mustmodify - startup disk creator will create the bootable usb stick from the ISO - you can't just copy it across
[15:28] <daftykins> mustmodify: if you already have a Linux host, using 'sudo dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M" would be the best way to make up a flash drive
[15:28] <daftykins> bear in mind it'll wipe that drive
[15:28] <mustmodify> And FYI, ubuntu is currently running on the machine on which I want the system installed. I performed some unfortunate magic with apt-get yesterday and it's unlikely to get back to totally stable. So I bought a new drive and I want to install the OS on that, then delete the OS from the previous drive, so I can keep the data.
[15:28] <EckyEcky> I am connected with ssh to an ubuntu server and need to copy 2 folders to my local hard drive, is this possible with the command line?
[15:29] <EriC^> Julia7: in case i get dc before you're back, make the line Exec=gnome-terminal -e "bash -c '/home/<your user>/tor...bla/star-tor-browser; bash'" it should launch it in a terminal and leave it open after it's done
[15:29] <mustmodify> ok I'll look for a 1.5+GB flash drive.
[15:29] <EriC^> Julia7: if you're using xubuntu replace the terminal with xfce4-terminal etc.
[15:30] <somsip> EckyEcky: disconnect and use scp -r user@remote:path/directory local/destination/path
[15:31] <sftp> hi guys. it's correct that package 'ubuntu-minimal' depends on 'rsyslog' package? i suppose it should depends on 'system-log-daemon' (i think it's correct approach because 'rsyslog' package as well as other syslog implementations do provide 'system-log-daemon')
[15:32] <soee> if i want to get latets ruby version in trusty, is it save to use this ppa https://www.brightbox.com/blog/2015/01/05/ruby-2-2-0-packages-for-ubuntu/ ?
[15:32] <somsip> soee: PPAs are used at your own risk (see !PPA)
[15:33] <sftp> nwm. i just find bug at launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/33394).

[15:45] <noobUser> ubuntu 14.10
[15:45] <stormchaser3000> hi
[15:45] <stormchaser3000> um how do i compile programs into debian packages
[15:46] <EriC^> Julia7: did you download the right arch tor browser?
[15:46] <EriC^> Julia7: type uname -m
[15:46] <SchrodingersScat> noobUser: 'lot of programs,' like? please give details
[15:46] <Julia7> EriC^: anon@ubuntu:~$ uname -m x86_64 anon@ubuntu:~$
[15:46] <EriC^> ok what was the file you downloaded from the tor site?
[15:46] <noobUser> i think ones using wxwidgets
[15:46] <Julia7> EriC^: I think there's only one.
[15:46] <LeelooGirlOnline> we can't help you because we don't know what your problem is
[15:46] <noobUser> from ubuntu software center
[15:47] <Julia7> EriC^: It's called tor_browser_en-US
[15:47] <mustmodify> I'm installing the OS from a memory stick. I'm at a "partioning Disks" menu. I want to set up sdb on a currently unpartitioned drive, and not touch sda which is currently mounted. Do I want Guided - reuse partition? (presumably not), Guided - use entire disk, Guided- use entire partition, Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM, or Manual ?
[15:47] <mcphail> stormchaser3000: are you looking to create a .deb file which can be shared elsewhere?
[15:47] <Julia7> EriC^: I meant tor-browser_en-US.
[15:47] <Hanom1960> EriC^ have you problems whit Tor Browser?
[15:47] <zertyui> hello there
[15:47] <zertyui> here it's my pastebin
[15:47] <zertyui> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10661663/
[15:47] <stormchaser3000> mcphail: yeah. of an open source project
[15:47] <EriC^> Hanom1960: not really no
[15:47] <Hanom1960> then?
[15:47] <zertyui> i would like  to extract only the domain from that list possible ?
[15:47] <mcphail> stormchaser3000: it isn't easy to do properly. Are you compent at compiling the package itself?
[15:48] <mcphail> competent*
[15:48] <stormchaser3000> yeah
[15:48] <mustmodify> RMJ: Any thoughts on which I should choose?
[15:48] <InHisName1> When I do: sudo apt-get -f install   I get request to add samba-libs  then when it tries, I get errors (1) returned by the deb.   I've changed printers and the old settings are useless. I'd just as soon purge samba and start all over for the new printer.
[15:48] <EriC^> Hanom1960: helping Julia7 make a shortcut for it to launch, you're welcome to help
[15:48] <EriC^> Julia7: there are 2 versions on the site, 32 and 64 bit
[15:48] <Julia7> EriC^: I'm so far from done! Gah! ;(
[15:49] <mcphail> stormchaser3000: there is an excellent tutorial on the ubuntu or canonical webpages somewhere. I can't remember the link, but if you have a launchpad account click on "create a PPA" and follow the links. Takes you through the whole process
[15:49] <stormchaser3000> i know how to compile the program. i just want to know how to compile the program to a .deb file to make ubuntu and debian builds of minetest-0.4.12
[15:49] <cstk421> if a machine is connected to an internet connection via wireless and also is connected to a pc via ethernet for ssh access what would cause it not to be able to access the internet via the wireless connection ?
[15:49] <EriC^> Julia7: did you download it from a different machine?
[15:49] <Julia7> EriC^: No.
[15:49] <EriC^> ok
[15:49] <stormchaser3000> mcphail: ok thanks
[15:49] <Hanom1960> Julia7 what is your computer architecture?
[15:50] <Julia7> Hanom1960: 64.
[15:50] <EriC^> Julia7: https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/4.0.4/tor-browser-linux64-4.0.4_en-US.tar.xz
[15:50] <EriC^> this is the one you want
[15:50] <minimec> stormchaser3000: Follow that guide... http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html
[15:50] <Hanom1960> Mmmm I see
[15:50] <mcphail> stormchaser3000: the alternative is to use "checkinstall" but the .debs it creates would never be accepted into deian/ubuntu
[15:50] <Julia7> EriC^: Hanom1960: I give up for now. My head is hurting.
[15:50] <Julia7> Thanks for trying to help. Bye.
[15:50] <Hanom1960> Yuo're welcome
[15:51] <soee> someone knows how to upgrade tuby on 14.04 to 2.2.0 ?
[15:51] <soee> *ruby
[15:51] <mustmodify> soee: install chruby
[15:51] <boriseto> Hi, any idea how to remove the software that was installed from a repo and revert it to the original without ppa-purge, because the repo doesn't exist anymore?
[15:51] <LeelooGirlOnline> apt -get update?
[15:51] <Mr_KaShAnA> (·_·)«=
[15:51] <noobUser> Hi people i have problem with programs, from ubuntu software center, using wxWidgets, every inputbox freezes when i press special chars (like backspace)
[15:51] <mustmodify> and ruby-install
[15:51] <noobUser> please save me
[15:52] <Hanom1960> apt-get install ruby-full
[15:52] <Hanom1960> or
[15:52] <Hanom1960> yum install ruby
[15:52] <mcphail> boriseto: is it a single package, or did it bring in a lot of other packages with it?
[15:52] <soee> mustmodify: thers nosuch package
[15:53] <The-Compiler> What do I need to be able to launch 32bit executables? ldd just says "not a dynamic executable" and trying to launch it via ./ gives me "No such file or directory"
[15:53] <OerHeks> soee, not without ppa like brightbox https://launchpad.net/~brightbox/+archive/ubuntu/ruby-ng
[15:53] <The-Compiler> (on a 64bit-system that is)
[15:53] <soee> uhm
[15:53] <carter1> for ruby, i would install RVM and then install the latest version
[15:53] <boriseto> mcphail, I think it brought a few more packages with it. It was the official intel driver if it's a needed info.
[15:54] <carter1> sudo apt-get install rvm
[15:54] <mcphail> boriseto: your chance of rolling that back cleanly is minimal without ppa-purge...
[15:54] <carter1> sudo rvm install ruby
[15:54] <carter1> iirc
[15:55] <Hanom1960> soee
[15:55] <Hanom1960> sudo apt-get install ruby 2.2.1
[15:55] <mcphail> boriseto: you can run "apt-cache policy packagename" to see which versions are available and then "apt-get install packagname=version" to downgrade but you might end up with lots of broken dependencies. That's why PPAs can't be formally supported
[15:55] <Hanom1960> Is the latest version
[15:56] <The-Compiler> ah, libc6-i386 was what I needed :)
[15:56] <lmkone> is there a way to change module driver for specific ethernet device ?
[15:56] <carter1> Hanom1960, you can do that, but when you have ruby, it's nice to be able to switch between versions easily, which is why I recommended rvm.
[15:56] <OerHeks> Hanom1960, wrong solution, as 2.1.1 is not in the repos
[15:57] <Hanom1960> mmm, i install it version in Parrot Sec Os
[15:57] <soee> Hanom1960: it is not vailable in archive i think
[15:57] <carter1> oh, apparently you can't xD
[15:57] <OerHeks> Hanom1960, please do not mix other OS solutions with ubuntu, this is confusing
[15:57] <Hanom1960> jajjaajajaj
[15:57] <carter1> soee, did you try sudo apt-get install rvm
[15:57] <noobUser> Hi people i have a problem with every program using wxWidgets, when i press special chars(like backspace) the inputbox freezes, and i-bus eat all resources
[15:58] <noobUser> please save me
[15:59] <soee> carter1: E: Unable to locate package rvm
[15:59] <minimec> lmkone: Yes. You can for example block the driver that is used now in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then put a different one in /etc/modules
[16:00] <carter1> soee, sorry, you have to install some stuff to get it
[16:00] <carter1> sudo apt-get update
[16:00] <carter1> sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core curl libmysqlclient18 nodejs
[16:00] <carter1> actually, here's the website i was using to do it
[16:00] <carter1> http://www.the-tech-tutorial.com/install-ruby-2-1-0-and-ruby-on-rails-4-0-2-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/
[16:01] <carter1> i did something like that to get it going on my box
[16:04] <lmkone> thanks minimec - i have tried to blacklist specific driver in blacklist, but after a reboot it is still being used by a nic
[16:07] <boriseto> mcphail, ty
[16:07] <minimec> lmkone: Try to find the module dependencies with 'modinfo yourdriver' and blacklist them all, hoping that you blacklisted not too muxh... ;)
[16:08] <atomic_> hi, i cannot install libglu1-mesa-dev on 14.04.2 can anybody help?
[16:08] <Kali_Yuga> can somebody help me to get rid of the screen tearing with woobly windows?
[16:08] <LeelooGirlOnline> can not?
[16:09] <LeelooGirlOnline> log ?
[16:09] <Kali_Yuga> log?
[16:09] <LeelooGirlOnline> what does the apt say
[16:09] <Kali_Yuga> apt?
[16:09] <atomic_> 1mom
[16:10] <atomic_> http://pastebin.com/zFR1xAEW
[16:10] <Kali_Yuga> aehm woobly windows is working but I have bad screen tearing since I installed my nvidia driver
[16:10] <noobUser> people please save me! When i press special chars, into every program using wxWidgets's textbox, the input freezes, and i-bus eats all resources
[16:10] <lmkone> minimec : any other way to switch / force drivers without the need to blacklist some modules
[16:11] <Kali_Yuga> that didn't happen with the noveau driver
[16:11] <minimec> lmkone: Well you can always 'rmmod' the module and 'modprobe' the new one manually after boot.
[16:11] <mcphail> noobUser: what is your native language?
[16:12] <MonkeyDust> noobUser  not sure if anyone of us uses widgets
[16:12] <noobUser> italian, using italian layout, but eng as default language
[16:12] <minimec> lmkone: Maybe it's enough to configure the existing driver. Normally these drivers have some options, that you can put in /etc/modprobe.d/yourdirver.conf
[16:12] <noobUser> i mean programs from ubuntu software center
[16:13] <mcphail> noobUser: i think there is an option somewhere to change the SCIM method from ibus to something else. Not at an ubuntu box to check just now, though
[16:13] <Kali_Yuga> ok I look there 1mom
[16:14] <noobUser> i think the problem is related with programs using wxWidgets, every other program runs perfectly
[16:14] <Kali_Yuga> nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf?
[16:14] <RMJ> hi all, finding that my laptop restarts instead of shutting down - only just started doing this just now but it seems repeated, happens whether I shut down through GUI or terminal.
[16:15] <Kali_Yuga> # This file was installed by nvidia-331
[16:15] <Kali_Yuga> # Do not edit this file manually
[16:15] <Kali_Yuga> blacklist nouveau
[16:15] <Kali_Yuga> blacklist lbm-nouveau
[16:15] <Kali_Yuga> blacklist nvidia-173
[16:15] <Kali_Yuga> blacklist nvidia-96
[16:15] <noobUser> also i have no entries into dmesg or syslog, just i.bus that eats all resources
[16:15] <lmkone> minimec : i will take a step back - i think i am having some problems with igb module (connection is getting limited to localhost and local ip only after some time, unable to ping or communicate with anything on the subnet) - was thinking to try with more generic e1000 driver to check if that helps in any way.. are any of you guys aware of a known issue with this driver module?
[16:16] <Asm0dean> hello
[16:16] <minimec> lmkone: regarding 'step back': experience with that driver.
[16:16] <minimec> lmkone: Did you run 'depmod' after you blacklisted the driver. Maybe 'sudo depmod -a' helps.
[16:17] <minimec> lmkone: No experience...
[16:18] <noobUser> oohh finally i've found the problem, by default were active 2 input methods
[16:19] <noobUser> tnk for the hint
[16:19] <falcom> Can CURL be used to download from any ftp server? It seems like it fails to do it for this remote ftp server( always timeout)
[16:19] <falcom> My FTP client connects fine to it
[16:19] <lmkone> minimec - just to make sure - after i rmmod i can always go back to it with modprobe right ?
[16:20] <slewfoot2xm> in server 10.14 shell (i'm complete noob) how do i get out of the < prompt
[16:20] <BobBall> How can I reset my password with a UEFI boot machine?  Several guides have said I need to boot into rescue mode, but that's not presented in my grub2 menu
[16:20] <minimec> lmkone: Exactly. You just remove and load modules.
[16:20] <slewfoot2xm> > prompt sorry,
[16:21] <mcphail> noobUser: glad you got it fixed. The whole ibus thing confuses me greatly
[16:21] <mustmodify> blah! I messed up /etc/fstab and restarted. How can I correct it? I tried to boot into repair mode but it says "Read-only file system"
[16:21] <LeelooGirlOnline> do it manually
[16:21] <LeelooGirlOnline> enter the command mode of grub
[16:21] <mcphail> slewfoot2xm: what program is giving you the > prompt?
[16:22] <mustmodify> LeelooGirlOnline: I believe that's what I did.
[16:22] <LeelooGirlOnline> and it should work.. what is wrong?
[16:22] <DreamThief> mustmodify, remount the root filesystem in rw mode
[16:22] <mcphail> mustmodify: easiest way is to boot from live usb and edit from there
[16:22] <ChunkzZ1> hi, is there a way to play Clash Of Clans on Ubuntu?
[16:23] <mustmodify> LeelooGirlOnline: Ah. I'm in grub but haven't remounted.
[16:23] <yxa> hi is anyone familiar with bitbake? at one do_configure stage, it errors out saying:  "error: GNU libc requires kernel header files from Linux 2.6.32 or later to be installed before configuring." the headers I have are 2.6.18 any way to force or get around it?
[16:23] <mustmodify> DreamThief: Thanks,.
[16:24] <mustmodify> LeelooGirlOnline: thanks
[16:24] <mcphail> yxa: what distro are you running if you have a 2.6 series kernel?
[16:24] <LeelooGirlOnline> you're welcome
[16:24] <ChunkzZ1> anyone?
[16:24] <yxa> mcphail i'm running ubuntu 12.05.4
[16:25] <OerHeks> ChunkzZ1, is that a windows game?
[16:25] <baum> ChunkzZ1: erm just use an android emulator?
[16:25] <yxa> but i'm trying to build openpli for a settopbox
[16:25] <lmkone> minimec : ok, one more thing, how can I make one of my nics use different module driver?
[16:25] <cfhowlett> ChunkzZ, ask the game publisher to release a linux version
[16:25] <ChunkzZ1> OerHeks, it's a game from app store and ios
[16:25] <ChunkzZ1> baum, how?
[16:25] <mcphail> yxa: if it needs later kernel headers, doesn't it need later kernel functionality?
[16:25] <LeelooGirlOnline> if so, buy a iPhone?
[16:25] <vitalis> hello
[16:26] <vitalis> i just joined the community
[16:26] <baum> ChunkzZ1: 1) install an android emulator 2) start the emulator 3) install the game 4)run the game 5)buy all the items with your real money 6) profit (for the "game")
[16:26] <OerHeks> Does one ask to play andorid games on IOS too?
[16:26] <LeelooGirlOnline>  or ask the developer to release Linux version
[16:26] <ChunkzZ1> no need to be funny OerHeks
[16:27] <ChunkzZ1> simple question, I was hoping for a simple answer.
[16:27] <baum> hence even my phone got an android emulator....
[16:27] <mcphail> yxa: you can, of course, install an upstream kernel (and headers) quite easily. Type "/msg ubottu kernel" for help
[16:27] <OerHeks> Chbest answer came from cfhowlett
[16:28] <LeelooGirlOnline> the easiest way should be to bug a phone
[16:28] <carter1> ChunkzZ1, Civ V was released for Ubuntu over steam
[16:28] <baum> ChunkzZ1: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=android+emulator+linux&t=canonical
[16:28] <carter1> Get that, and you'll have a much better game xD
[16:29] <RMJ> anyone have any ideas why my laptop running 14.04 reboots instead of shutting down?
[16:29] <baum> or just type "telnet www.ateraan.com 4002" into your favorite console...
[16:29] <minimec> lmkone: you mean, they would both use the same driver or driver family normally? The only way I see is with a /etc/modprobe.d/yourdriver.conf. You will have to search the net for possible options.
[16:29] <LeelooGirlOnline> it should be a hardware issue..
[16:30] <OerHeks> RMJ, seems like an ACPI setting in your bios
[16:30] <RMJ> OerHeks - thanks. it's a new problem so what might have caused the change?
[16:30] <LeelooGirlOnline> it is not a problem with ubuntu
[16:30] <baum> btw, by chance anyone is aware of a good CLI based mail-client?
[16:31] <Mandeep_Singh> baum, mutt, alpine
[16:31] <Fuchs> mutt?
[16:31] <LeelooGirlOnline> check the arch wiki
[16:31] <LeelooGirlOnline> they have a programs index ....
[16:31] <baum> Mandeep_Singh: thanks
[16:32] <baum> LeelooGirlOnline: yep arch is great....guess i have to give it another try :)
[16:32] <ChunkzZ1> carter1, ?
[16:32] <LeelooGirlOnline> I just meant they have a better wiki
[16:33] <baum> LeelooGirlOnline: a better wiki and a better system =P
[16:33] <LeelooGirlOnline> whether you are using arch or not ,the wiki helps you sometimes
[16:34] <mustmodify> Whoo hooo! Got my projects directory back, saving hours of stupidity.
[16:34] <AssassinsMod> hi guys, i had read that mint is based on ubuntu but how should i choose between them?
[16:34] <LeelooGirlOnline> LOL for many people yes....
[16:34] <carter1> AssassinsMod, i've run both, there's not a lot of difference, it's mostly just visual
[16:35] <carter1> try them both out and see what you like the best
[16:35] <OerHeks> AssassinsMod, mint is not supported here. choose ubuntu!
[16:36] <AssassinsMod> OerHeks, that solves it then!
[16:36] <Joel> Trying to automate kernel upgrade, how can I tell apt-get to use the package maintainer's menu.lst ?
[16:36] <Joel> instead of prompting
[16:36] <OerHeks> ubuntu offers mate-desktop too, so no need to switch
[16:37] <AssassinsMod> mate is the evolution of gnome?
[16:37] <ppf> mate is a gnome2 fork
[16:37] <OerHeks> mate is gnome2 look on gnome3
[16:38] <AssassinsMod> isn't ubuntu given out with unity or something like that?
[16:39] <ppf> yes
[16:39] <baum> AssassinsMod: there is also Kubuntu, Lubuntu and so on...
[16:39] <k1l_> mate is not gnome3. cinnamon is gnome3
[16:40] <AssassinsMod> now i'm lost
[16:41] <AssassinsMod> what's Ubuntu Developer Tools Centre  ?
[16:42] <ppf> i believe it's called make now
[16:42] <RMJ> OerHeks - tried acpi=off in GRUB but just disabled wifi, didn't seem to fix the problem of the reboots sadly
[16:42] <ppf> it's supposed to allow "easy installation" of frequently used developer tools
[16:43] <ppf> which is to say, android studio and eclipse
[16:43] <carter1> RMJ, boot into your bios and see if there's an option to restart automatically that got switched on
[16:43] <AssassinsMod> those brackets don't bode well
[16:43] <carter1> AssassinsMod, you're not a developer though, so it's not a big deal
[16:43] <RMJ> carter1 - already had a look in there, no there's nothing like that. The only thing I tried wwas turning secure boot off instead of on, but it didn't seem to make any difference
[16:44] <carter1> hrm, that's really weird
[16:44] <Joel> Is there a way to tell apt-get to re-install a package?
[16:44] <AssassinsMod> carter1, if you say so
[16:44] <mustmodify> I just I'm confused. I want my ubuntu machine's terminal to show a few browser windows that I can use as a dashboard. I can't do it straight from the terminal because there's no display ... I don't want to install a huge GUI just for a browser window. Do I just need some kind of very-light GUI? Is there a simpler solution?
[16:44] <Fuchs> Joel: yes, apt-get install --reinstall package
[16:44] <Fuchs> Joel: why, though?
[16:45] <Joel> Fuchs, menu.lst didn't get updated to use the package maintainer's version.
[16:45] <baum> AssassinsMod: just stick to vim, it works like charm :)
[16:45] <Joel> Fuchs, passing in -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" as well
[16:45] <Fuchs> Joel: hm, you can try the re-install, I guess.
[16:46] <AssassinsMod> does even change anything from 14.04 to 14.04.2?
[16:47] <k1l_> AssassinsMod: think of that like the "servicepacks" on windows
[16:47] <RMJ> all i'm getting now is a freeze on shutdown at wait-for-state stop/waiting
[16:47] <AssassinsMod> k1l_, then updating through update manager/shell = installing the new version?
[16:48] <k1l_> AssassinsMod: if you install a 14.04 and do all the updates you will get a 14.04.2 anyway. but going for 14.04.2 in the beginning saves you the updates after install and it ships a more recent kernel
[16:48] <Joel> Fuchs, sadly, that didn't seem to work as I expected :\
[16:48] <k1l_> AssassinsMod: its just a "point release". not a new version.
[16:48] <AssassinsMod> k1l_, i have installed in dual-boot ubuntu 14.04 that's why i'm asking
[16:49] <k1l_> AssassinsMod: just run the updates. that will bring you to 14.04.2
[16:49] <ppf> and beyond!
[16:50] <AssassinsMod> what's the best(?) desktop environmend (or the one you prefer)?
[16:50] <k1l_> AssassinsMod: just choose yourself. if you ask 4 guys you get 5 answers
[16:51] <AssassinsMod> i know gnome, kde, cinnamon and unity (though only their name), can changing ti create issues?
[16:52] <k1l_> ubuntu can handle several desktop at once. just choose what to be used on the login screen
[16:53] <RMJ> ok my problem just fixed itself. one of those best-not-ask-why issues. thanks for the assistance carter1 & OerHeks
[16:53] <AssassinsMod> k1l_, thats kind of awesome...
[16:55] <andybrine> im having a hard time installing wine in ubuntu 14.10
[16:55] <andybrine> have unmet dependancies and it says there are broken packages
[16:56] <andybrine> has anyone else had problems installing wine in 14.10?
[16:56] <SchrodingersScat> !ask | andybrine
[16:57] <andybrine> thanks SchrodingersScat, thats the question
[16:57] <andybrine> Do you know how to install wine in ubuntu 14.10?
[16:58] <xangua> sudo apt-get install wine
[16:59] <andybrine> this is the error i am facing wine1.7 : Depends: wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.38-0ubuntu1)
[16:59] <andybrine> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[17:00] <andybrine> I have not broken packages and im using ubuntu 14.10 64 bit
[17:00] <julian-delphiki> andybrine: sounds like you're 'holding' packages.
[17:00] <andybrine> holding packages?
[17:00] <julian-delphiki> andybrine: "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" in a pastebin please.
[17:01] <andybrine> there is no output from that command jullian
[17:02] <julian-delphiki> andybrine: okay, how about the output of "dpkg -l | grep ^h"
[17:03] <andybrine> there is no output from that either
[17:03] <julian-delphiki> andybrine: okay, and you'
[17:03] <julian-delphiki> ve done an 'apt-get update' before trying to install?
[17:03] <alex-k> join #ubuntu-devel
[17:03] <Kali_Yuga> Does somebody uses PlayOnLinux?
[17:03] <andybrine> yea, I have done that
[17:04] <julian-delphiki> andybrine:  have you tried a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" first?
[17:04] <Kali_Yuga> If yes how can I access Winetricks in a Virtual Hard Drive in PlayonLinux???
[17:05] <andybrine> I will run it again now
[17:05] <Kali_Yuga> I dont see it??
[17:05] <andybrine> still getting that error
[17:07] <andybrine> Do you think I may have a repo missing?
[17:07] <julian-delphiki> andybrine: it's possible....
[17:07] <julian-delphiki> Kali_Yuga: you don't need winetricks on POL
[17:08] <andybrine> thanks for your help julian-delphiki, if it helps I did upgrade from 14.04
[17:09] <julian-delphiki> andybrine: this appears to be your problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/548454/why-am-i-unable-to-install-wine-1-7
[17:11] <jq-> How could I output only the current cpu usage in terminal?
[17:11] <olen> the command "top" i guess
[17:11] <julian-delphiki> jq-: there are multiple commands. What sort of output are you wanting.
[17:11] <julian-delphiki> 'top' is a common one (ctrl-c to exit)
[17:12] <jq-> julian-delphiki: I know about top. I just want to output only a percentage though.
[17:12] <julian-delphiki> there's also 'w' which shows the load average and what users are logged in
[17:12] <andybrine> thank julian, thats what is strange I have no packages to fix
[17:12] <andybrine> it just says I have broken packages
[17:12] <qwe__> sup, soo I forgot the name of the program i wanna run, its something easy just cant remember...        SNl  18:01   0:03 Plex Plug-in [com.plexapp.system] /var/lib/plexmediaserver/"... ls shows me "ls: cannot access /var/lib/ple*: No such file or directory"
[17:17] <BarnacleBob> i'm having trouble figuring out whats causing a package not to upgrade on my machine.  this is the output from apt-cache policy https://gist.github.com/BarnacleBob/2e4213ace407c5625eab for some reason it just wont consider the new version for install
[17:17] <trism> andybrine: is the above output the full output of apt-get install wine1.7; or did you leave out some lines?
[17:18] <julian-delphiki> olen: I'm imagining there's like a service you need to stop. "sudo service plexmediaserver stop"
[17:18] <julian-delphiki> and then try removing the user and packages.
[17:18] <andybrine> I will create a pastebin for the output
[17:19] <olen> go the output sudo service plexmediaserver stop
[17:19] <olen> stop: Unknown instance:
[17:19] <olen> Same output from userdel
[17:20] <andybrine> here is my full output: http://pastebin.com/WMY4Mh7f
[17:20] <andybrine> i personally think I have a broken install of ubuntu
[17:20] <ppf> andybrine: did you run the things at the end of the SO thread julian copied you?
[17:21] <trism> andybrine: pastebin: apt-cache policy wine1.7 wine1.7-i386;
[17:21] <andybrine> yea, I did run them both and got no output
[17:21] <ppf> both? there were like 6 or so
[17:22] <julian-delphiki> olen: hmm maybe it's a different name. I'm not sure what the service name would be
[17:22] <genii> !info wine1.7
[17:22] <genii> Hm
[17:22] <andybrine> I have run all the commands ppf
 i think its correct, when i do sudo service plex tab tab i get it so
[17:23] <andybrine> I upgraded from 14.-04 last night and have some other small errors as well
[17:23] <andybrine> everytime I change my shell theme and reboot, it goes back to the standard theme
[17:24] <andybrine> totally different than wine but think the upgrade skrewed something up
[17:24] <julian-delphiki> olen: have you tried rebooting?
[17:25] <olen> ye but found out how i could remove it
[17:25] <andybrine> Do you think its worth running a fresh install?
[17:26] <ppf> what's the result of for the policy query?
[17:27] <andybrine> heres the result of the policyL
[17:27] <andybrine> : http://pastebin.com/DrS58tTR
[17:28] <trism> andybrine: alright so it's there, what errors do you get if you try to: sudo apt-get install wine1.7-i386:i386;
[17:29] <andybrine> that works I think
[17:30] <andybrine> I have an unmet dependancy of libsane but I can install that I think
[17:30] <trism> andybrine: can you pastebin it?
[17:30] <Bumblefluff> !pastebinit
[17:31] <andybrine> Here is the pastebin from the last command: http://pastebin.com/JLEK9p6y
[17:32] <trism> andybrine: getting somewhere, libsane isn't the issue it is only recommend, try: sudo apt-get install libgphoto2-6:i386; see what you get, don't continue if it tries to remove anything
[17:33] <andybrine> still getting errors trism
[17:34] <andybrine> I will pastbin it again
[17:34] <trism> andybrine: yes what are they?
[17:35] <andybrine> Here it is: http://pastebin.com/WV0nLUDy
[17:35] <andybrine> I just dont see why I have to jump through soo many hoops to install wine
[17:35] <ppf> andybrine: what is your architecture? i386?
[17:35] <andybrine> it installed perfectly in 14.04
[17:35] <andybrine> im ob 64bit
[17:35] <trism> andybrine: you have an issue with the i386 packages somewhere, got to track it down
[17:36] <trism> andybrine: try: sudo apt-get install libgd3:i386; if we get stuck on another similar error there is another command we can try to get better info
[17:36] <trism> andybrine: usually it is easier to just follow the path of broken packages than search through the debug info
[17:37] <ppf> dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
[17:37] <trism> ppf: he already has the i386 arch that isn't helping
[17:37] <genii> andybrine: For one thing, you must have active PPA or such since you're trying to install wine 1.7 which isn't in the repos. No wonder you're in dependency hell.
[17:37] <andybrine> thats my latest pastebin: http://pastebin.com/uWenQxjn
[17:38] <trism> andybrine: already
[17:38] <andybrine> its strange though as it doesnt matter which version of wine i try and install it is the same
[17:38] <Ice_Strike> sudo useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser
[17:38] <Ice_Strike> Is there a way without entering homedir path?
[17:38] <andybrine> yea, that is the latest trism. Im getting quick at this now :)
[17:39] <trism> andybrine: sorry, alright: sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes install libvpx1:i386; it's going to be alot of output
[17:39] <andybrine> thanks for the hepkp I do appreciate it
[17:39] <Joel> apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" install linux-image-3.13.0-48-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-48-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-48 - This STILL prompts me if I want to use my menu.lst, or the package maintainer's, any idea how to get it to just use the package maintainers? 14.04.
[17:41] <Pinkamena_D> Unity just started lagging really badly pretty much whenever i open a new program or switch programs using the launcher bar. When I use just one peogram no problems come, otherwise I need to wait about 30 seconds for the lag to stop. Top shows low cpu use with or without the lag.
[17:41] <andybrine> yikes, that is a lot!
[17:41] <andybrine> lol
[17:41] <andybrine> Here goes: http://pastebin.com/BcrXN7Hk
[17:41] <Pinkamena_D> I know if I restart it will be fixed but is there any other process I could look for that might be causing it?
[17:41] <andybrine> it doesnt look healthy :s

[17:43] <sadsagfjg> we have a some numbers, we have to divide this numbers into two group which difference between these two groups be minimum. for example if n=3, we have three numbers, for example: 4,5,10. for this example, answer is 4,5__10 because 4+5=9 (first group) and second group is 10. and difference between them are 10-9=1 ...now, I have to write a program w

[17:43] <Pinkamena_D> try*
[17:43] <Pici> sadsagfjg: This is #ubuntu, we don't provide programming help here. Try ##c++ or ##programming
[17:43] <trism> andybrine: ahh, turns out we didn't need the debug output, what is: apt-cache policy audacity;
[17:44] <andybrine> oh right sweet
[17:44] <ioria> rockstar_, what kind of problem ?
[17:45] <rockstar_> ioria: I cannot connect to wifi properly in university
[17:45] <andybrine> Here is the output: http://pastebin.com/axBMRAYa
[17:46] <trism> andybrine: or in fact we may want: apt-cache policy libavcodec56; I want to figure out what ppa the 6:11~beta1 version is from
[17:46] <ioria> rockstar_, are you low on battery ?
[17:47] <rockstar_> ioria: I'm not in low battery, it happens everytime. I followed this https://wiki.albany.edu/display/public/askit/Connecting+to+WiUAlbany+-+Linux+-+Detailed
[17:47] <andybrine> http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/universe amd64 Packages
[17:47] <andybrine> thats the repo
[17:47] <andybrine> do you need a pastebin?
[17:47] <andybrine> I dont think I have the universe repos which is strange
[17:47] <ioria> rockstar_, do you have a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf     file ?
[17:48] <rockstar_> ioria: I do
[17:49] <trism> andybrine: do you have any other ppas besides wine?
[17:49] <andybrine> yea, I have a lot of other ppas
[17:50] <hellyeah> hey
[17:50] <trism> andybrine: wait a sec: what is: apt-cache policy libvpx1:amd64 libvpx1:i386;
[17:50] <hellyeah> when i plug headphone i still hear the sound from speaker why is that? How can i fix that?
[17:50] <ioria> rockstar_, try adding this in that file : options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1     then - sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi    and   sudo modprobe iwlwifi
[17:51] <andybrine> http://pastebin.com/3mh2u2S3
[17:51] <hellyeah> hey
[17:51] <hellyeah> anyone
[17:52] <trism> andybrine: ahh there it is: try: sudo apt-get install libvpx1:amd64/utopic; don't continue if it tries to remove anything else
[17:52] <hellyeah> ho ho ho
[17:52] <hellyeah> hay hay hay
[17:52] <hellyeah> zo zo zo
[17:52] <hellyeah> mo mo mo
[17:52] <hellyeah> :D:D:D
[17:53] <trism> andybrine: you have an old ppa package in there that is preventing you from installing the i386 version of the package
[17:53] <andybrine> good stuff
[17:53] <andybrine> its asked me to downgrade
[17:53] <Exclusive> Hi guys, my MySQL server is bothering me, failing to start, with [FAIL], the logs are empty and it actually looks like it's running even though it states "FAILED". phpMyAdmin and mysql cli is unable to find the socket tho.. the /var dir has the correct permissions, and it's running under the mysql user, anyone have a idea?
[17:53] <trism> andybrine: yeah that's fine we want to go back to the repo version
[17:53] <andybrine> ok, here goes! :)
[17:53] <andybrine> Its installed now
[17:53] <hellyeah> any answer
[17:54] <andybrine> shall I try and install wine again
[17:54] <trism> andybrine: now try: sudo apt-get install wine1.7; again
[17:54] <trism> andybrine: yeah
[17:54] <rockstar_> ioria: did it. It is still trying to connect
[17:54] <andybrine> trism!!!! YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!!!
[17:54] <andybrine> Thats installed now :)
[17:54] <trism> andybrine: excellent
[17:55] <andybrine> well it is installing
[17:55] <genii> Joel: Why would it want to be using old Grub1 menu.lst when Ubuntu uses GRUB2 ?
[17:55] <andybrine> another quick question
[17:55] <andybrine> this may be part of the cause
[17:56] <andybrine> in synaptic I check repos and all the old repos say disabled from upgrade
[17:56] <andybrine> yet I have enabled them
[17:56] <ioria> rockstar_, iwconfig is ok '
[17:56] <ioria> ?
[17:56] <andybrine> I am concidering removing old repos and reinstalling them
[17:57] <genii> andybrine: They will have been backed up to files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory with extension of .save
[17:57] <rockstar_> ioria: I'm not very experienced with ubuntu. How do I check if iwconfig is ok?
[17:57] <andybrine> yeah
[17:57] <andybrine> thanks genii :)
[17:57] <andybrine> Wine is not installed!
[17:58] <Joel> genii, without the menu.lst the instances don't boot, no idea why.
[17:58] <andybrine> I dont know how you did it trism but that was awesome!
[17:58] <rockstar_> ioria: ok I just did iwconfig. It says no wireless extensions. but one wlan0
[17:58] <genii> andybrine: Add them back in one by one with sudo-add-apt-repository, install whatevers needed, go on to the next one like this, etc. If you get a problemmatic one, leave it for the time being.
[17:58] <genii> Joel: Must be some End-Of-Life version you are running.
[17:58] <ioria> rockstar_, your wireless is not configured or it's not recognized
[17:59] <trism> andybrine: it's usually the same sort of issue of an old/disabled ppa package that conflicts with another, it's just tricky to find them sometimes
[17:59] <genii> ( either that or it was continuously upgraded from a GRUB 1 booting system and never got GRUB 2 installed )
[17:59] <rockstar_> ioria: my wifi works in home though. How can I fix/configure it?
[18:00] <d4g0n> hi
[18:00] <ioria> rockstar_, is it working at home ... with you router ?
[18:00] <rockstar_> ioria: yap, it is working perfectly in home wifi
[18:01] <andybrine> yea, thats good
[18:01] <andybrine> Im going to remove all my ppas and add them again
[18:01] <andybrine> yppa manager should sort that (If I can install it) lol
[18:02] <ioria> rockstar_, ifconfig ?
[18:06] <andybrine> is there a way to remove all old ppas?
[18:07] <bazhang> !ppa-purge | andybrine
[18:08] <andybrine> I was looking at removing multiple ppas at once
[18:17] <Joel> genii, I know the grub2 is marked as a beta version
[18:17] <Joel> genii, grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1
[18:19] <mackie> What exactly does xbindkeys do, and how?
[18:19] <genii> Joel: Apologies on lag as I am back and forth from my computer as work requires me. You would be best to go to GRUB 2, yes
[18:19] <Joel> genii, is that not grub2?
[18:20] <genii> !info grub2
[18:20] <genii> Joel: The version may vary depending upon your Ubuntu version
[18:20] <Joel> genii, gotchya
[18:21] <genii> Joel: What says the result of: cat /etc/issue
[18:21] <Joel> genii, <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:21] <genii> Joel: So you should absolutely be on GRUB2
[18:22] <Joel> genii, interesting
[18:22] <Joel> genii, these are machines in AWS, I wonder if it has something to do with how they launch them?
[18:22] <genii> Hm
[18:23] <Joel> genii, I rm'd /boot/grub/menu.lst on an instance, rebooted it, and the machine was stuck at grub>
[18:23] <Joel> It's not a huge deal, I'm able to work around it.
[18:24] <genii> Joel: GRUB2 uses instead /etc/default/grub file, you edit that then rebuild grub and initramfs with sudo update-grub and sudo update-initramfs -u
[18:29] <wedgwood> I'm adding "prepend domain-name-servers n.n.n.n" to dhclient.conf, but resolv.conf no longer gets the DHCP-assigned nameserver. Just n.n.n.n.
[18:29] <wedgwood> Am I misunderstanding what the manual says?
[18:30] <ikonia> wedgwood: n.n.n. ?
[18:30] <chrisian> wee
[18:30] <ikonia> wedgwood: could you be specific please
[18:30] <ikonia> chrisian: ?
[18:30] <wedgwood> ikonia: <IP_ADDRESS>, but I wouldn't expect it to matter.
[18:31] <ikonia> <IP_ADDRESS> is using dnsmasq
[18:31] <octavian_> how do I prevent he screen to go off while watching youtube videos?
[18:31] <wedgwood> ikonia: not in this case. I've got a consul server listening there.
[18:31] <wedgwood> But either way
[18:32] <wedgwood> I'd still expect to get two lines in resolv.conf, not just the one.
[18:33] <nicolas_> blue leader im in position
[18:33] <nicolas_> you got point
[18:33] <nicolas_> eat that

[18:34] <nicolas_> who your daddy montreal
[18:34] <octavian_> how do I prevent he screen to go off while watching youtube videos?
[18:35] <EriC^^> octavian_: i'm not sure there's something like that
[18:35] <EriC^^> octavian_: you could make a script yourself and make a shortcut key for it
[18:36] <EriC^^> something like set it on/off and use notify-send to tell you it's now on or off
[18:36] <n-iCe> which one is lighter xubuntu or lubunut
[18:36] <n-iCe> lubuntu
[18:37] <k1l_> Lubuntu
[18:37] <bazhang> the latter
[18:38] <atlasloewenherz> anyone have an idea where to check if my machine 14.04 does not get its network devices (eth0 and a bridge) activated at boot time these are my logs and my network configs: https://gist.github.com/atlasloewenherz/1d887ea54c16536df055

[18:39] <daftykins> SSD, not so much
[18:42] <judget> ok im stuck with ubuntu server 10.04 and cannot get it to do release upgrade
[18:42] <heath_> When I download something using Ubuntu it brings the local network to its knees, when someone on Windows starts the same download everything is fine.
[18:43] <judget> keeps failing on repositories
[18:43] <k1l_> judget: where does release prompt link to?

[19:05] <daftykins> delinquentme: ok i no longer have the patience to fix your packages just to check the HDD :) can you boot into a live session from USB and come back ?
[19:06] <delinquentme> daftykins, so it looks like smartmontools now installs?

[19:09] <daftykins> ioria: you will have a brick where a computer once was
[19:09] <rockstar_> ioria: I tried ifconfig. Any other suggestions?
[19:10] <ioria> daftykins: ok ... thanx :P
[19:11] <ioria> rockstar_ : as far i know - no wireless extension -means that your card it's not configured

[19:13] <daftykins> rockstar_: what's your query?
[19:14] <rockstar_> ioria: Right now, I'm in univ, so I can check the problem. But I'm connected through usb tethered, as backup
[19:14] <rockstar_> daftykins: I'm having problem connecting to university wifi, in ubuntu (Dell XPS 15)
[19:14] <daftykins> rockstar_: WPA enterprise?
[19:15] <shreezbot> Do you guys have a recommendation for an Ubuntu application to share files with family members who aren't tech savvy?
[19:15] <rockstar_> daftykins: that's right
[19:15] <daftykins> rockstar_: ah. no idea on that stuff
[19:15] <daftykins> shreezbot: in what form, over the internet from different houses - or on the same network?
[19:15] <_habnabit> trying to find the source for avahi 0.6.31-4ubuntu4; http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/vivid/avahi links to https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/avahi/ubuntu which only appears to be 0.6.31-1ubuntu1. https://code.launchpad.net/avahi doesn't seem to list any other ubuntu branches, either

[19:17] <daftykins> shreezbot: so, dropbox no good?
[19:17] <shreezbot> I thought about btsync, but it is a pay application now if you want to share any more than 10 folders, which I might eventually want to do.
[19:17] <daftykins> i've had my privacy concerns with btsyn
[19:17] <daftykins> c
[19:17] <shreezbot> daftykins, Due to the storage constraints, no
[19:17] <shreezbot> daftykins, Yea, there is that as well...
[19:17] <_habnabit> actually is there a better channel for asking ubuntu development questions?
[19:17] <daftykins> shreezbot: owncloud ?
[19:18] <Guest3030> hi
[19:18] <shreezbot> daftykins, I was considering owncloud!  Have you used it by chance?
[19:18] <daftykins> shreezbot: nope but seen others using it and linking to their own setups for pics etc
[19:19] <shreezbot> daftykins, Nice!  I might give that a shot!  Thanks for the info!  :)
[19:19] <daftykins> shreezbot: i figure in most cases the required fees for having a static IP wouldn't be far off the fees for a decent capacity with dropbox and the like
[19:19] <daftykins> not sure how well owncloud would work with a dynamic DNS service you see
[19:20] <shreezbot> daftykins, I have a DNS entry with dynamic DNS that will update if it detects my address change.
[19:20] <ioria> rockstar_ :  try this  : http://askubuntu.com/questions/279762/cant-connect-to-wpa2-enterprise-peap
[19:20] <ojwop> hello everyone, I need a bios update for my thinkpad. do you have any link to an iso download for ubuntu?
[19:20] <tmwsiy> I switched from ATI proprietary drivers to the radeon packages and I am getting some weird color issues. Is there anyway to address that?
[19:20] <ojwop> the links I found on lenovo support pages have not been supporting of linux
[19:20] <daftykins> shreezbot: yeah, you might get things being a teensy bit unreliable with that though depending on how quickly changes propogate to your other users etc. - you'll just have to see :)
[19:20] <bazhang> !torrents | ojwop
[19:21] <daftykins> ojwop: this is not our responsibility i'm afraid. you may need to install Windows to update the BIOS.
[19:22] <shreezbot> daftykins, Worst case scenario, I have a dedicated server in the cloud that has a static IP that I can run it from.
[19:22] <jhutchins> The only ISP I've known who forces IP changes is telmex down in Mexico.  There are several free dynamic DNS services that will keep your IP up to date even if it changes often.  A home based server's very practical, but you have to be security concious and not do something like an open anonymous ftp server.
[19:23] <mathFreak> exit
[19:23] <daftykins> jhutchins: yeah, IP changes tend to differe in the rest of the world though ;) here they are on every connection.
[19:23] <shreezbot> daftykins, I just have to find a good way to sync folders between my server at home and server in the cloud.  rsync is probably the best option, but I have no clue how to use it.
[19:23] <ojwop> daftykins,  it is stated here (under Lenovo) that the iso file will do it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate   but the iso file I found mentions windows support only: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds002212
[19:24] <fedorafan> lol
[19:24] <daftykins> shreezbot: "rsync -av /path/here /path/there/" :D
[19:24] <ojwop> therefore asked here maybe someone can clarify
[19:25] <daftykins> ojwop: it doesn't matter then, download it, burn it or throw it on a flash drive - and then boot from it
[19:25] <daftykins> it's OS independant, just happens to be labelled up as Windows because Lenovo.
[19:25] <fedorafan> Fuchs du bist so ein meister
[19:25] <ojwop> daftykins, I see..thank you, I will go on like that
[19:26] <fedorafan> ich warte
[19:26] <daftykins> fedorafan: english only and support questions only in here please.
[19:26] <fedorafan> naja
[19:26] <fedorafan> habs mal bewiesen
[19:28] <shreezbot> daftykins, I'm guessing it gets a bit more complicated if you are syncing over the internet though...  :)
[19:28] <daftykins> shreezbot: well you'd probably want to mount the remote file system over SSHfs or some such
[19:29] <daftykins> and i'm sure it'd go at a snails pace...
[19:29] <IdleOne> daftykins: Do me a favor, part and rejoin and let me know if you get any onjoin spam please
[19:30] <daftykins> no can do, it'll spoil my super important channel order!

[20:15] <daftykins> daan38: ok, do you have an actual Ubuntu support question? that is what this channel is for.
[20:16] <bprompt> daan38:    there's an #ubuntu-offtopic    that covers other discussions, other than "something is not working" or such, which this channel addresses, or non-support if you wish :)
[20:17] <sta7ic> i cant believe the mini.iso has such a overlooked bug. basically when you boot it from a usb stick (which is /dev/sda) and then at the end when it installs grub, it doesnt install it to the hard drive device, it installs it to /dev/sda which is the usb device it booted from....duh!
[20:17] <sta7ic> but it sure does tell you its going to install MBR to the first hard disk and just assumes that its /dev/sda and doesnt give you the option to choose anything else..
[20:18] <Lachezar> Hey all. I have a problem with gpg-agent: it breaks ssh-agent. How can I have gnupg-2 without the gpg-agent?
[20:18] <sta7ic> So not only does it ruin the install, but it also ruins your usb image
[20:18] <bprompt> sta7ic:     hmm  I've not used mini.iso myself... but I usually do a "manual" install from the screen, and at the bottom, it has a section of where to install the bootloader, often times the installer picks up automatically the usb-device..yes.. but all you have to do is pick the one you need from the pulldown list
[20:19] <genii> sta7ic: The hard drive order is dependent on your motherboard and bios. On most modern systems when you set the computer to boot from USB it still isn't the sda, the internal drives are.
[20:19] <genii> ( so it's idiosyncratic)
[20:19] <usewy> hi all.I have a question this is:
[20:19] <sta7ic> bprompt, i am not seeing an option to change the device..
[20:19] <usewy> we have a some numbers, we have to divide this numbers into two group which difference between these two groups be minimum. for example if n=3, we have three numbers, for example: 4,5,10. for this example, answer is 4,5__10 because 4+5=9 (first group) and second group is 10. and difference between them are 10-9=1 ...now, I have to write a program with C++ language for this job. is there any body help me. thanks alot. best regards
[20:20] <ObrienDave> sta7ic, because you're not looking
[20:20] <Pici> usewy: as I stated earlier, #ubuntu is not a place for programming questions. Did you ask in ##programming or ##C++ ?
[20:20] <genii> usewy: That's not really an Ubuntu support question
[20:20] <sta7ic> genii, thanks for stating the obvious... the sun is larger than the moon...
[20:20] <usewy> if answer thanks
[20:21] <bprompt> sta7ic:     may well be the case in mini.iso... haven't used it myself, thus
[20:22] <sta7ic> ObrienDave, im going to double check, you sure its in the mini.iso?
[20:22] <daan38> my name is Danny
[20:23] <ObrienDave> sta7ic, i'm sure you're complaining rather than looking for the proper option
[20:23] <Pici> daan38: Hi. #ubuntu is the place for Ubuntu support, if you're just looking to chat, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[20:23] <sta7ic> ObrienDave, im sure you dont know and just wanna be difficult
[20:23] <bprompt> daan38:    there's an #ubuntu-offtopic    that covers other discussions, other than "something is not working" or such, which this channel addresses, or non-support if you wish :)
[20:24] <jhutchins> sta7ic: The mini uses the same installer code as the other installers.
[20:24] <sta7ic> ObrienDave, obviously your lame and do the full bloatware install, i figured out a possible fix for this, its not in the mini.iso fyi
[20:25] <sta7ic> Let's see, download install and configure all packages to /dev/sdb, but lets grub install /dev/sda! genius!
[20:25] <ObrienDave> sta7ic, obviously you have nothing better to do than complain about FREE software
[20:26] <sta7ic> ObrienDave, my time is worth money, so its not free now is it..
[20:27] <bprompt> sta7ic:   so... just file it as a bug anyway, nothing to beat the wall about
[20:27] <sta7ic> bprompt, im not, im just retoring fat daves useless banter because thats what excites him in this channel
[20:28] <sta7ic> i bet he uses that 'free code' line quite a bit....
[20:28] <Trudko> Hi guys I have been using ubuntu 14.04 for several months now and one thing which supprised me was that  it is actualy not that uncommon for something to crash. Not drastically but for example I got message about problems with compiz and some other things too. I always was told that linux generally is stable so it bit puzzling
[20:29] <Trudko> dont get me wrong its not really a problem it just bit odd
[20:29] <elky> sta7ic: quit with the personal attacks
[20:29] <bprompt> sta7ic:    ahhh... I see... it was sorta noticable anway, k
[20:29] <sta7ic> Trudko, yeah we all get the msgs where 'something has gone wrong' but nothing including turning off those services evens stops them from occuring daily, go figure
[20:29] <sta7ic> Trudko, just click ok like the rest of us
[20:30] <Trudko> so that is common ? how is that?
[20:30] <Trudko> it is because Ubuntu is too edgy?
[20:30] <carter1> Trudko, it's also because you're using graphical stuff, which isn't as stable
[20:31] <Trudko> what do you mean by graphical stuff?
[20:31] <sta7ic> Trudko, nah it even happens on stable versions, 14.04 is pretty good, just an ubuntu thing, happens on xubuntu as well, whats worse is even if you try to turn them off or the services, it still reports
[20:31] <carter1> like, a server with command line only will be much more stable than a desktop with a gui
[20:31] <gueriLLaPunK> ive mounted an iso. what command do i use to copy everything to a folder? cp *.* ~/download/folder?
[20:31] <vilce> hey guys, is it possible to create lvm partition with ubuntu-vm-builder ?
[20:31] <Trudko> carter1: well sure but that doesnt really address the issue
[20:31] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK, no that would only copy files with a "." in them
[20:32] <sta7ic> carter1, thats not true in my opinion, GUI stuff has been stable for a long time..although maybe not much on compiz
[20:32] <carter1> gueriLLaPunK, just do *
[20:32] <bprompt> gueriLLaPunK:    yes...    include the -r for recurse
[20:32] <gueriLLaPunK> thank you guys
[20:32] <pbx> Trudko, the base of the stability claim is: none of those crashes brought down your system. they were contained and handled (and reported)
[20:32] <Trudko> pbx that is true generally
[20:33] <carter1> sta7ic, i guess it just comes down to what you mean by stable
[20:33] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK, cp -r /path/to/mountpoint/. ~/download/folder
[20:33] <carter1> yeah, ubuntu is very stable, but a CLI is just going to be more stable
[20:34] <gueriLLaPunK> thanks EriC^^
[20:34] <gueriLLaPunK> where do I enter the *?
[20:35] <bprompt> gueriLLaPunK:   if you use the mounted directory as the argument, you don't have to use the global *
[20:35] <sta7ic> gueriLLaPunK, if the iso has directories or any sort of depth best to use cp -pR * /path/you/want
[20:35] <gueriLLaPunK> thanks guys
[20:35] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK, if you use * you won't copy hidden files
[20:35] <gueriLLaPunK> EriC^^, ah i see. so by using . at the end, it means "everything?"
[20:36] <Trudko> btw any more user friendly way how to improve battery life? last time I've tried few months ago it was pretty bleak unless you are happy tinkering with relatively low level stuff
[20:36] <EriC^^> it means the current directory
[20:36] <gueriLLaPunK> cool
[20:37] <sta7ic> Trudko, are you using cpu scaling?
[20:38] <judget> k1l lsb_release  -d yields Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
[20:38] <Trudko> sta7ic: no idea
[20:38] <k1l_> !paste | judget put it all there please
[20:39] <sta7ic> Trudko, cpu scalling is like the idea that you dont run the CPU at full mode, now how much does it help, thats a different topic, but you can bascially scale down your 3.4ghz i7 to lets say 1.0 ghz
[20:40] <root____5> he

[20:40] <sta7ic> Trudko, its dynamic so you can bounce them up and down at your discretion and its usually installed by default on ubuntu especially if you have 'speed step' enabled in ur bios, etc..

[20:42] <delinquentme> anyone recall who it was??
[20:42] <sta7ic> Trudko, your gunna have to read about it and check ur bios and then check ur system to what ur running, i think default is the ondemand governor
[20:42] <root____3> ubottu how do i read pm?
[20:43] <sta7ic> delinquentme, way to keep notes..
[20:43] <Trudko> sta7ic: well sure but I would hope for more user friendly approach , I guess there arent any official plan to improve this
[20:44] <delinquentme> sta7ic, i did ! lol ... on the machine which is taking a poo =[

[20:48] <iamaway> what does the {u} at the end of a package name mean
[20:48] <iamaway> is that linux mint specific <_<
[20:48] <judget> do you know what they sghould be?
[20:48] <k1l_> iamaway: if you use linux mint please ask in the mint channels for support. they should know their system
[20:49] <iamaway> ...alright
 and its our fault, you're a moron who writes down info he wants to save? i doubt you even wrote it down, laziness will cost you everytime

[21:01] <delinquentme> sta7ic,  out of the blue
[21:01] <k1l_> delinquentme: see the logs

[21:05] <zeniac> my problem is the high cooling fan activity on amd 6970 graphics
[21:06] <BradyForM> amir_  ps aux |grep root  also would do the trick
[21:06] <sta7ic> amir_, you can check which processes are running by a specific user, is that what your lookign for?
[21:07] <wc-> hi all, i just spun up a new instance with ubuntu 14.04, previously was using 12.04, i have an application that writes to /dev/log and with ubuntu 14.04 this unix socket doesn’t seem to exist?
[21:08] <judget> k1l i modified my sources.list.default to be the one you advised but when i do a sudo apt-get update it looks like it is still using the old list ???
[21:08] <k1l_> judget: its /etc/apt/sources.list    not.default
[21:09] <wc-> how can i determine where hte syslogd unix socket is located?
[21:09] <delinquentme> its possible im mounting incorrectly ...  but im getting complaints of a bad superblock on /dev/sda1  ... when I attempt to mount the disk using  $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 media/internal
[21:10] <ikonia> delinquentme: what file system is on it
[21:10] <sta7ic> delinquentme, what type of filesytem is it?
[21:10] <delinquentme> ext4 ... but oddly enough *not* specifying the filesystem type allowed it to mount
[21:10] <daftykins> delinquentme: have you booted into a live session yet?
[21:10] <ikonia> delinquentme: if it was guessing it wrong that could be a problem
[21:10] <sta7ic> delinquentme, run like fsck.ext4
[21:10] <ikonia> delinquentme: hence why asking
[21:11]  * ObrienDave hang out just to see what happens next LOL
[21:11] <delinquentme> sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/internal
[21:11] <delinquentme> daftykins, ! Im up and running w a live session
[21:11] <delinquentme> and just mounted the HD
[21:11] <ikonia> fsck will not make superblocks magicly work
[21:11] <daftykins> delinquentme: sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit
[21:12] <daftykins> delinquentme: i'll be back in 2 mins, link me :>
[21:12] <delinquentme> kk
[21:12] <kush> hi
[21:12] <judget> k1l on this system sourses.list is symlinked to sources.list.default
[21:13] <judget> sources.list is symlinked to sources.list.default
[21:13] <judget> i can blow away the symlink and rename the file??
[21:15] <k1l_> judget: never heard of linking that sources.list
[21:15] <k1l_> judget: did you change there something?
[21:17] <john-dadis> app store basically just copied open source repositories
[21:18] <delinquentme> daftykins, same issue as before with complaints about SMART not being enabled ...  Im on a ThinkPad and I believe they're not called the same thing
[21:18] <daftykins> delinquentme: SMART is SMART everywhere in the world. or do you mean you couldn't find a relevant option in the BIOS?
[21:18] <delinquentme> so I did some googling and i believe its switching the SATA HD from ICAU
[21:19] <daftykins> from what?
[21:19] <judget> this is how i found it
[21:19] <delinquentme> daftykins, right . nothing was labeled directly as "SMART"
[21:19] <daftykins> delinquentme: what about the command it suggests to run?
[21:19] <delinquentme> i switched it from ICAU to 'compatibility'
[21:19] <daftykins> do you mean IDE?
[21:20] <delinquentme> daftykins, ok wait so I got it to work. $ sudo smartctl -s on -A /dev/sda
[21:20] <delinquentme> let me pipe another paste
[21:20] <daftykins> vewy gewd
[21:21] <delinquentme> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10663975/
[21:21] <judget> k1l and i blew away the symlink and renamed sources.list.default to sources.list and when i do a apt-get update it still looks like it is using the old list
[21:21] <paolo2> hi
[21:21] <judget> ls -l
[21:21] <k1l_> judget: can you pastebin it?
[21:21] <delinquentme> yeah there cool ok so that looks useful daftykins
[21:22] <judget> sorry k1l pastebin what?
[21:22] <judget> the resulkts od sudo apt-get update?
[21:22] <daftykins> delinquentme: hmm not quite the standard output i see, does the normal "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" work now?
[21:22] <k1l_> judget: the command  and output
[21:22] <k1l_> judget: and is there a /etc/apt/sources.list.source ?
[21:22] <Bushman> ave
[21:23] <Scorpionoidea> we are legion!
[21:23] <Bushman> who's good with HDMI and resolution issues?
[21:23] <daftykins> delinquentme: if you're having mounting issues, i would think you'd want to have backups before rushing into an fsck attempt, then
[21:23] <daftykins> Bushman: just ask, on one line, with details
[21:24] <delinquentme> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10664003/ dafty <
[21:25] <delinquentme> 198 Offline_Uncorrectable   0x0008   100   100   000    Old_age   Offline      -       0
[21:25] <delinquentme>  ???
[21:25] <daftykins> delinquentme: ok disk looks fine. so, what were the mounting issues?
[21:25] <delinquentme> daftykins, should I run tests?
[21:25] <daftykins> nope
[21:25] <judget> k1l there is a file /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:25] <delinquentme> daftykins, pebkac
[21:25] <judget> it is the opne you pointed me to
[21:26] <daftykins> delinquentme: ok so just your package management issues left on your install huh?
[21:26] <shreezbot> So, I'm working on setting key authentication for ssh on my ubuntu machines.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it seems like I can't use the same key for all of my hosts. Is this correct?
[21:26] <delinquentme> daftykins, yeap.  Same behavior ... except now it doesn't get any further than a black screen after i login
[21:26] <delinquentme> I was able to get a instance of a nautilus window to popup when I stuck in a jump drive after logging in
[21:26] <daftykins> delinquentme: sounds like graphics driver woes potentially - do you happen to know your 'card' and driver?
[21:27] <k1l_> judget: please put the output into a pastebin and link it here. so we can see what is going on
[21:27] <delinquentme> but zero windows and no backgrounds
[21:27] <Bushman> i have this LCD TV/monitor SyncMaster2032mw, connected by HDMI to ubuntu 14.04 laptop. Native resolution of the monitor is 1680x1050 but the display settings only give me 1920x1080, 1280x720 and some weird 720x576 resolutions. I want it to work in native resolution cause any of this options distorts the image
[21:27] <delinquentme> daftykins, would that lead to the crashing behavior I was experiencing for both firefox and chrome?
[21:27] <daftykins> delinquentme: don't know but one step at a time
[21:28] <daftykins> delinquentme: anywho boot back into your install and try the guest session
[21:28] <daftykins> delinquentme: if that works it's just your user's config
[21:29] <delinquentme> daftykins, as sta7ic suggested though ... this just happened out of the blue ... i was poking postgres installs and configuring python scripts when everything just started to crash
[21:29] <shreezbot> Is there a decent guide out there to setting up ssh key authentication?  I'm wanting to use a key to authenticate all of my ssh connections to my servers.
[21:30] <delinquentme> so I dont think it was anything having to do w user configs ... but let me try the guest session
[21:30] <Scorpionoidea> whats the best AV solution for ubuntu?
[21:31] <delinquentme> daftykins, nvidia NVS 5400m graphics w optimus tech
[21:31] <Bashing-om> !virus | Scorpionoidea
[21:31] <daftykins> delinquentme: wouldn't hurt to pop off and run a bout of memtest from the live flash drive then
[21:31] <BLZbubba> anyone here familiar with how to deal with defunct (zombie) processes on ubuntu?  it appears that upstart doesn't handle them properly
[21:31] <delinquentme> yeah i ran memtest once and it failed
[21:32] <delinquentme> lemm retry
[21:32] <Scorpionoidea> if you dont have an AV in ubuntu how do you know there arent any virus?
[21:32] <daftykins> Scorpionoidea: AV products do exist.
[21:32] <k1l_> Scorpionoidea: make sure you run the updates regulary to get the security patches. then dont install or run code you dont know its from a trusted source
[21:33] <daftykins> also, the notion of 'virus' is very antiquated, malware is what is predominant these days
[21:33] <delinquentme> kk so yeah im running the internal lenovo memtory diagnostics test
[21:33] <delinquentme> 'quick memory test
[21:33] <delinquentme> '
[21:33] <daftykins> delinquentme: memtest'd be miles better.
[21:33] <Scorpionoidea> rootkits?
[21:33] <k1l_> !memtest | delinquentme
[21:33] <BradyForM> !rkhunter
[21:33] <Scorpionoidea> i remeber thats what they call them in linux
[21:34] <white_wing> Hey guys, I installed Nvidia proprietary drivers using the ubuntu additional drivers program. On reboot my screen is stuck at a low resolution, but the windows that I create (termina, Nvidia control panel, etc.) Show up outside my desktop, I can't see them but my cursor can reach them. Any idea how to fix this?
[21:34] <k1l_> Scorpionoidea: see my last message
[21:34] <daftykins> Scorpionoidea: no they are different things
[21:34]  * ObrienDave *sighs* and ROFL
[21:34] <Scorpionoidea> rootkist isnt malware?
[21:34] <daftykins> white_wing: which graphics card?
[21:34] <white_wing> Nvidia 555M
[21:34] <daftykins> Scorpionoidea: no rootkits and viruses are not the same.
[21:35] <delinquentme> kk daftykins k1l_ running memtest
[21:35] <daftykins> delinquentme: ok, 2 passes minimum
[21:35] <sta7ic> Scorponoidea, plus you have sudo asking for root permission every 5 secs when trying to do anything usefull.
[21:36] <jhutchins> Scorpionoidea: There are rootkit checkers and there are intrusion detection systems.
[21:36] <jhutchins> Scorpionoidea: Best defense is an admin who knows what's going on on the server.
[21:36] <sta7ic> best defense is to not be a moron
[21:36] <sta7ic> that usually goes a long way
[21:37] <Scorpionoidea> server?
[21:37] <daftykins> moronity is relative (:
[21:37] <jhutchins> So is knowledge
[21:37] <sta7ic> scorpiono, yeah your server, even though its a desktop, its a server
[21:38] <sta7ic> not to be confused by ubuntu desktop, and ubuntu server =]
[21:38] <Scorpionoidea> i dont want to be serving anything
[21:38] <sta7ic> its still a server more or less
[21:38] <delinquentme> daftykins, im on my first ... and I've already got 4 red failing lines
[21:38] <Scorpionoidea> im egotist like that :)
[21:38] <sta7ic> delinquentme, not a good sign. good thing laptop memory is cheap
[21:38] <delinquentme> daftykins, is the fix ' go buy new memory
[21:38] <delinquentme> ?
[21:38] <daftykins> delinquentme: oh dear, your RAM is bad
[21:38] <daftykins> delinquentme: this a laptop yes?
[21:38] <delinquentme> daftykins,  yeah
[21:39] <delinquentme> PNY
[21:39] <sta7ic> ram = cheap
[21:39] <delinquentme> is the brand. and yeah sta7ic its certainly better than a mobo or CPU
[21:39] <sta7ic> delinquentme, i wonder if your having like a motherboard failure, start out with ram, and keep the receipt
[21:39] <daftykins> delinquentme: if you are comfortable with hardware, turn off - remove the battery, disconnect the mains power supply, then open the laptop and remove one of the RAM modules if there are two
[21:39] <delinquentme> is this just crap luck or is PNY a crappy ram company?
[21:40] <Scorpionoidea> delinquentme:yes
[21:40] <sta7ic> delinquentme, try re-seating the ram modules first
[21:40] <delinquentme> daftykins, yeah already tried that. booted.  still same issue
[21:40] <Scorpionoidea> bgest ram is kingstone
[21:40] <delinquentme> so I should try removing the other
[21:40] <Scorpionoidea> imo
[21:40] <sta7ic> delinquentme, blow out the dust like old NES games
[21:40] <daftykins> delinquentme: if you have two, run memtest with one in at a time
[21:40] <elky> delinquentme: ram dies all the time, no big deal
[21:40] <delinquentme> daftykins, +1 smart.
[21:40] <delinquentme> daftykins, is it then even worth finishing this test?
[21:40] <daftykins> elky: maybe if you rub it on your cat before every boot :)
[21:41] <sta7ic> scorpionoidea, pretty sure i dont see kingston on any RAM benchmarks =]
[21:41] <Scorpionoidea> benchmarks?
[21:41] <Scorpionoidea> sometimes what you win in performace you lose in stability
[21:41] <daftykins> we're going way off this channels mandate of OS support now people, lets try and cut the chatter and move it to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[21:42] <k1l_> guys, lets stick to ubuntu support in here. we have #ubuntu-offotpic for the other talk
[21:42] <sta7ic> but yeah kingston or corsair, its a laptop. no one cares about laptops anyways =]
[21:42] <sta7ic> *as im trying to get my laptop to work*
[21:42] <Scorpionoidea> corsair sucks
[21:43] <Scorpionoidea> OCZ
[21:43] <daftykins> STOP please.
[21:43] <Scorpionoidea> if you need preformance
[21:43] <judget> ki1l here is paste you requested  http://pastebin.com/arQDFJjW
[21:43] <judget> k1l here is paste http://pastebin.com/arQDFJjW
[21:44] <Scorpionoidea> if you using amd go with AMP if intell go with XAMP
[21:45] <k1l_> Scorpionoidea: enough trolling now. please stop it
[21:45] <sta7ic> scorpiono, corsair vengence has a 4.7 rating on amazon  5 stars and newegg, and it sucks?
[21:45] <daftykins> Scorpionoidea: i'm afraid every statement you've made is both off topic and completely wrong :)
[21:45] <daftykins> sta7ic: stop it please. go to #ubuntu-offtopic like we told you
[21:45] <Scorpionoidea> your opinon
[21:46] <k1l_> judget: please pastebin the output of "ls -alR /etc/apt"   somehow there are some karmic repos on your system
[21:47] <judget> k1l did u see last pastebin ?? http://pastebin.com/arQDFJjW
[21:48] <white_wing> daftykins Nvidia 555m
[21:49] <k1l_> judget: yes, and did you scroll down? apt-get update uses some karmic repos so there is something really messy on that system.
[21:50] <daftykins> white_wing: first run "sudo apt-get purge nvidia* " to restore it to working
[21:50] <lina_peter> Hi
[21:50] <lina_peter> crontab is not working on ubuntu, */1 * * * * /root/backup.sh
[21:51] <judget> k1l here is paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/10664174/
[21:51] <delinquentme> daftykins, errors in ram cant be isolated huh? solution is just to buy more?
[21:51] <k1l_> judget: is this a server or a desktop?
[21:51] <judget> k1l surprised with the new sources.list to still have karmic repos
[21:51] <white_wing> daftykins That's to restore the original resolution right?
[21:51] <judget> k1l server
[21:52] <judget> i suspect it may have had a failed update at some point
[21:52] <k1l_> judget: there are karmic sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[21:52] <k1l_> judget: i would suggest to remove karmic.list and karmic.list.distUpgrade in there
[21:53] <daftykins> white_wing: that'll go back to what i suspect will be the intel driver only to restore things to default, yep
[21:53] <white_wing> daftykins thanks! :)
[21:54] <Nikesh> I just made a screencast with Kazam. It's output is mp4. How can I most easily convert the mp4 to GIF?
[21:54] <sta7ic> mp4 to gif? ouch
[21:55] <swine_> is anyone here familiar with cgroups?
[21:55] <sta7ic> gunna be one huge gif
[21:55] <sta7ic> Nikesh, im sure there are some conversion programs out there, did you look?
[21:55] <Nikesh> sta7ic: There should be some way to compress/reduce the quality. The video is like 4 seconds
[21:55] <Shurtagul> So, somehow my filesytem got turned to read only or something in xubuntu. I tryed to restart my computer to see if it would fix, but now it gets stuck on the loading screen. Please help
[21:55] <Nikesh> sta7ic: Yes but none mentioning mp4
[21:56] <judget> k1l removing them seemed to fix the apt-get update
[21:56] <k1l_> judget: ok. "sudo do-release-upgrade" then
[21:57] <code42> Hello
[21:58] <sta7ic> Nikesh, well why not convert it to something those sites do like, and go from there?
[21:58] <judget> k1l yes im doinmg it now seems to be getting farther along now
[21:58] <judget> can i buy you a beverage?
[21:58] <judget> k1l
[21:59] <Cipher45> I'm having a little bit of trouble with the update-notifier-common package on ubuntu server. After installing it and sshing in nothing seems to happen. My motd is supposed to change when new updates are available
[21:59] <k1l_> judget: no thanks i am fine :) just donate to your favorite OSS project if you want to do me a favor :)
[21:59] <Cipher45> Do I have to add something to my bash profile?
[22:00] <judget> I will I always do my project is learnubuntunow,org
[22:00] <judget> im sorry learnubuntu.org is my project
[22:00] <shreezbot> So, I'm trying to use rsa keys to authenticate via ssh to my server.  Is there another way I need to issue the ssh command other than "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 7777"???
[22:00] <shreezbot> Sorry, not rsa keys, just keys...
[22:01] <Dyan> i have no keyboard on my other PC..... how do i enable on screen keyboard (mythbuntu)
[22:01] <Cipher45> swine_
[22:01] <Nikesh> Anyone know why ffmeg is no longer available?
[22:01] <Cipher45> Sorry,
[22:01] <swine_> Cipher45: wut?
[22:01] <k1l_> Nikesh: avconv is the fork that is used from debian and ubuntu
[22:02] <Cipher45> shreezbot, that should be fine, what are you using to ssh, terminal or putty?
[22:02] <shreezbot> terminal
[22:02] <Dyan> anyone know how to solve my problem?
[22:02] <Cipher45> swine_ I accidentally tabbed to you instead of someone else
[22:02] <swine_> ah
[22:03] <swine_> is no one at all familiar with cgroups? :P
[22:03] <Dyan> mr
[22:03] <Dyan> *me
[22:03] <shreezbot> Cipher45, I'm using terminal. I'm able to use putty no problem, but terminal isn't working for some reason..
[22:04] <Cipher45> shreezbot, Where are you storing the ssh keys? Mine are in ~/.ssh/ but I'm on a Mac, It may be slightly different for linux
[22:04] <shreezbot> Cipher45, If I use 'ssh -v<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 7777" it doesn't give an error, it just asks for a password.
[22:04] <shreezbot> Cipher45, I'm storing them in .ssh
[22:05] <shreezbot> Cipher45, ~/.ssh
[22:08] <Bundestrojaner> good evening. i've just installed an nvidia-driver, now my system doesn't boot anymore (freeze with splashscreen)
[22:08] <Bundestrojaner> is there a boot-option to boot it with the open source nvidia-driver?
[22:10] <EriC^^> !nomodeset | Bundestrojaner
[22:11] <rexbutler> Question:  When I boot I get the welcome audio, but once I log in I have no sound.  What could cause this?
[22:12] <Bundestrojaner> EriC: i managed before to get to a console. it shows something like this: [  280.812017] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: connect/disconnect timeout.
[22:18] <rypervenche> shreezbot: You need to add them to your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file
[22:18] <shreezbot> rypervenche, I've got them added to the authorized_keys file
[22:18] <shreezbot> rypervenche, I actually just completely disabled password logon and it does fail on the password.
[22:19] <shreezbot> rypervenche, I'm trying to troubleshoot why now...
[22:19] <rypervenche> shreezbot: Your permissions may be wrong then. Please pastebin the output of your SSH command with -vv
[22:21] <toxic> Hey
[22:21] <toxic> :P
[22:23] <genii> toxic: If you have some question regarding your Ubuntu best to just ask the channel in general and then see if someone can help :)
[22:24] <shreezbot> rypervenche, http://pastebin.com/Pq3cCRR4
[22:25] <rypervenche> shreezbot: Did you give your key a different name or did you hit enter for the default path? because there are no default keys
[22:26] <toxic> I just installed backbox 4.1 I'm totally not confused on how to use it lmao.
[22:26] <shreezbot> rypervenche, I gave it a different name. I included the hostname in the filename so I'd know which host that key was for.
[22:26] <MoPac> Wondering what the best way might me to investigate a memory leak in Xorg while the system is running? The process is pulling 5.6GB, and Xorg.0.log is now 1.2GB, so I can't even effectively open it. The --tail messages from it are http://paste.ubuntu.com/10664385/
[22:26] <Bundestrojaner> how can i - in recovery mode - get write-acces on the hdd?
[22:27] <rypervenche> shreezbot: Then you must use -i and the path to the private key
[22:27] <EriC^^> Bundestrojaner, sudo mount -o remount,rw /mountpoint
[22:27] <shreezbot> rypervenche, -i on my ssh command?
[22:27] <Bundestrojaner> EriC^^: thx
[22:27] <rypervenche> shreezbot: yes, or create a config so you don't have to
[22:28] <shreezbot> rypervenche, Holy shit!  That worked!  :)
[22:29] <shreezbot> rypervenche, So there is a way I can make it so that I don't have to use the -i switch?
[22:29] <rypervenche> yes, you'll want to create a ~/.ssh/config file
[22:29] <genii> toxic: Might want to check out their documentation at http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/BlackboxDocumentation
[22:30] <toxic> Yea, I'm on the official website now :)
[22:30] <MoPac> Update: I think the X memory hoarding may be related to this program running in the background. https://github.com/leszakk/orient/blob/master/orient.cpp
[22:31] <rypervenche> Host (a name you want to call it, let's say foo), Hostname (the IP or hostname), IdentityFile (path to private key). If you need User or Port add them.
[22:31] <rypervenche> shreezbot: Each on a separate line.
[22:31] <shreezbot> Awesome!  :)
[22:31] <rypervenche> shreezbot: then just type ssh foo
[22:32] <rypervenche> If you need further help, send me a PM.
[22:37] <delinquentme> daftykins,wanna know some crap ?
[22:37] <delinquentme> I swapped the placement on the rams ... and they're now running well behaved.
[22:37] <delinquentme> lol
[22:42] <bekks> hi
[22:45] <elky> delinquentme: one of them probably got unseated then
[22:51] <teh_the> Hi
[22:52] <genii> teh_the: Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu support channel. If you have a question about your Ubuntu just ask the channel in general, and then someone should try to answer.
[22:57] <teh_the> I've got a eeepc x101ch with ubuntu 14.04 installed (gui gnome flashback) It's working alright but i noticed a problem when connect to through hdmi to my tv the sound comes out of the netbook speakers not the tv and there only one output option on the sound options. Hope someone can help =P i've googled a bit but found no solution...
[22:58] <teh_the> thanks genii
[22:59] <teh_the> btw this netbook is ubuntu certified :p
[22:59] <teh_the> so it says the sticker hehe
[23:00] <delinquentme> OK so it turns out that while the ram is seemingly OK... something is still taking a poo
[23:00] <delinquentme> also ... if the RAM were faulty ... wouldnt I be having issues with the live boot CD as well?
[23:03] <Dewin|work> I've had a heck of a time getting Ubuntu Vivid, iSCSI, Hyper-V and ZFS to all play nice together, but I think I'm finally getting it to work.
[23:06] <Dewin|work> Most of it seems tied to the fact that zfs has had working systemd files in its repo for a year, but they don't seem to ship with the zfs-native PPA...  open-iscsi doesn't ship with systemd services, and I'm forced to use Vivid and ZFS dailies because I'm otherwise stuck by a combination of no kernel version that doesn't cause issues in Hyper-V that ZFS will build on.
[23:09] <teh_the> I've got a eeepc x101ch with ubuntu 14.04 installed (gui gnome flashback) It's working alright, but i noticed a problem when connect the hdmi to my tv the sound comes out of the netbook speakers and not from the tv and in the sound options there's only one output. Hope someone can help =P i've googled a bit but found no solution...
[23:10] <delinquentme> OK so wait maybe I found my problem?  I just mounted my primary HD while checking it out with a live boot disk .. . and in looking at the end of /var/log/dmesg ... it says something about being unable to spawn flask_default main process: unable to find setuid user
[23:10] <delinquentme> now these *were* tools I was messing around with
[23:10] <delinquentme> but that seems totally unrelated to the everyting was crashing error I had earlier
[23:14] <nicolas> Think what you think but i will think what i wanna think and my thinking is great kthx
[23:15] <nicolas> who am i
[23:15] <ObrienDave> a troll ;p
[23:15] <teh_the> lol
[23:15] <nicolas> doh
[23:16] <nicolas> lets do a infini some
[23:17]  * ObrienDave reminds himself to not irritate k1l_ ;P
[23:18] <svetlana> twss
[23:19] <svetlana> delinquentme: pastebin?
[23:19] <svetlana> ... dmesg, that is
[23:19] <delinquentme> svetlana,  sos dmesg gets rewritten each time I boot into a machine right?
[23:20] <svetlana> maybe stored in dmesg.1, i forget
[23:20] <delinquentme> so if /var/log/dmesg has errors ... that will be *the* most recent errors on that machine
[23:20] <k1l_> delinquentme: yes
[23:20] <k1l_> the get cycled to .1 .2 etc after every reboot
[23:21] <delinquentme> cool TIL@
[23:21] <delinquentme> ok so then yeah this is totally an issue associated w a modification I made to a program called supervisor
[23:21] <k1l_> what did you do?
[23:22] <delinquentme> svetlana, k1l_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/10664726/
[23:23] <delinquentme> the user whos configured to run the service via supervisor ... I guess isn't there?
[23:25] <k1l_> delinquentme: you said you changed something before that errors happend. so what did you do?
[23:26] <delinquentme> k1l_, well that was changed ... say last night ... and the machine had booted just fine prior
[23:26] <k1l_> what changed?
[23:28] <svetlana> delinquentme: after reading it i say you try to rescue or read your hard drive from a live cd.. since that error seems software related. I lack context though.
[23:28] <delinquentme> im not sure ... but its kind of curious that dmesg.0 fails at the exact same spot
[23:28] <delinquentme> no?
[23:28] <delinquentme> k1l_, nothing really eventful happened between the bootup earlier today ... and where its at derping right now
[23:29] <delinquentme> i was messing around with postgresql and python scripts
[23:29] <delinquentme> but the error with flask shown in dmesg was certainly something I had touched on
[23:32] <delinquentme> say I installed something with apt-get on a machine ... and now I've mounted that machines root HD ...
[23:32] <k1l_> delinquentme: changes on your system shouldnt affect the live system. so if the live system is broken too it might be a harware issue. most common is a ram issue.
[23:32] <delinquentme> how do I uninstall that thing I installed from a liveboot cd / mounted root filesystem ?
[23:32] <delinquentme> k1l_, nah the live boot behaves pristinely
[23:35] <pi_user_84> greetings everyone

[23:40] <teh_the> I've got a eeepc x101ch with ubuntu 14.04 installed (gui gnome flashback) It's working alright, but i noticed a problem when connect the hdmi to my tv the sound comes out of the netbook speakers and not from the tv and in the sound options there's only one output. I can't find a solution...
[23:41] <Finetundra> n
[23:41] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: there should be 2 options in sound, hdmi and speakers
[23:41] <teward> how do I use a USB-to-serial cable to access a console interface on a device in Ubuntu
[23:42] <teh_the> right that's what I thought lotuspsychje but there isn't
[23:42] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: did you try to 'mirror' both screens, tv and pc?
[23:42] <teh_the> so I guess it's missing something :S
[23:43] <lotuspsychje> !sound > teh_the
[23:43] <moldo> i need a good site where i could learn linux command lines easily. Do you guys have any link please ?
[23:44] <k1l_> moldo: what commands?
[23:44] <teh_the> thanks
[23:44] <teh_the> not mirror no
[23:44] <moldo> k1l_,  all commands
[23:44] <moldo> all basic commands
[23:44] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: you might wanna look in syslog and dmesg also when you try the hdmi
[23:44] <k1l_> moldo: start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[23:45] <vevais> Oy
[23:45] <moldo> k1l_, thanks
[23:45] <moldo> :)
[23:45] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: wich output shows 'only' in your sound options?
[23:46] <teh_the> lotuspsychje problem is that mirror limits resolution so its no good.. I have both screen working though but problem is only the audio
[23:46] <Bashing-om> moldo: Another : http://blog.jdpfu.com/2014/12/28/learning-linux .
[23:47] <moldo> Bashing-om, thank you ! :)
[23:47] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: hdmi or speakers output show?
[23:48] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: did you try a reboot with hdmi branched in pc also?
[23:48] <teh_the> lotuspsychje its the speakers
[23:48] <teh_the> built-in audio
[23:49] <teh_the> no I did not since its kinda of working
[23:49] <teh_the> I thought it could be some driver related issue
[23:49] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: you can try sudo lshw -C sound and check whats behind driver=
[23:50] <rexbutler> Question: Can anyone give me clues about which package I should install in the following situation:
[23:51] <rexbutler> To start, when I run When I run $ <SDK directory>/tools/emulator-x86 -avd Your_AVD_Name -qemu -m 2047 -enable-kvm (with my variables)
[23:51] <rexbutler> I get : SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device
[23:53] <teh_the> lotuspsychje driver=snd_hda_intel latency=0
[23:53] <teh_the> looks good?
[23:53] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: should be good yes
[23:53] <teh_the> weird...
[23:53] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and fool around with hdmi a bit unplug/plug
[23:56] <lotuspsychje> rexbutler: maybe you need libsdl ?
[23:56] <teh_the> should I see something happen when pluggin or unpluggin because nothing shows up =/
[23:57] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: try the same with tail -f /var/log/dmesg maybe
[23:57] <gr1zzlybe4r> can I run ubuntu with a GNOME3 de and uninstall unity?
[23:58] <lotuspsychje> !nounity | gr1zzlybe4r
[23:58] <gr1zzlybe4r> !nounity?
[23:59] <rexbutler> lotuspsychje: Do you know which package I need?
