[00:05] <multimedia> going to reboot and triple check BIOS settings for onboard (which should not be in use...)
[00:06] <OpenSorce> k1l, thanks!
[00:13] <multimedia> k1m: confirming, the onboard video is set to 1M...
[00:14] <multimedia> any other ideas?
[00:14] <multimedia> k1l: *
[00:14] <k1l> and you say with a 3.13 kernel you see 4gb ram in free output?
[00:14] <multimedia> k1l: haven't tested that, will do to confirm. (good idea)
[00:15] <k1l> multimedia: because it could be that its only simulating PAE because the hardware is 32bit only.
[00:17] <OpenSorce> k1l, universe enabled still no aircrack what am I doing wrong?
[00:17] <multimedia> not sure I understand that point. PAE (physical address extension) is what provides > 3-ish GB of RAM. Which is useful when hardware is 32-bit, running 32-bit OS, and >~3GB of memory.
[00:17] <k1l> OpenSorce: the package is called aircrack-ng
[00:18] <_Dylan> hey guys
[00:18] <EriC^^> hello
[00:18] <_Dylan> i need help when im installing playonlinux i get and error from the software center saying that dependences are missing or something
[00:19] <OpenSorce> k1l, okay got it from command line wasn't listed in the gui software manager :P
[00:19] <Ben64> _Dylan: pastebin the exact error
[00:19] <multimedia> _Dylan: suggest documenting what you're trying to do, and the errors, in a pastebin output so that people here can refer to the details.
[00:19] <_Dylan> ok
[00:19] <_Dylan> how can i pastebinit exactly?
[00:20] <multimedia> _Dylan, see "topic text"
[00:20] <multimedia> (it outputs when you first joined the channel at the top)
[00:20] <EriC^^> _Dylan: sudo apt-get install pastebinit , then <command you're running> | pastebinit
[00:21] <kbytes> my speakers remote used to work on ubuntu gnome or unity, but since i'm using i3 wm, it doesn't, where should I look into it?
[00:21] <multimedia> k1l: going to try the new kernel (sorry I'm IRC'ing on the same box as testing with... DC'ing for now)
[00:21] <multimedia> k1l: er, I mean older kernel (3.13)
[00:22] <_Dylan> i didnt know exactly how to run the command pastebin it and the command from terminal so have a link
[00:22] <_Dylan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14378380/\
[00:23] <Ben64> _Dylan: sudo apt-get install python
[00:23] <_Dylan> ok thanks
[00:23] <_Dylan> i didnt know it needed python:/
[00:23] <Ben64> it says it does in the error...
[00:23] <goddard> how can i revert the packages back to original after installing a ppa?
[00:23] <_Dylan> thats all i needed thanks
[00:24] <k1l> !ppapurge | goddard
[00:24] <goddard> k1l: i already removed the ppa
[00:24] <goddard> should i add it and then do that?
[00:25] <k1l> that is the most user convenient way, yes
[00:25] <_dylan> it says i already have python installed
[00:25] <_dylan> and its set manually
[00:25] <goddard> k1l: thanks
[00:26] <k1l> _dylan: what is the full command and output where you get the error?
[00:26] <_dylan> i just click install on the app and it says he following packages have unmet dependencies:  playonlinux: Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) but it is a virtual package
[00:27] <k1l> _dylan: what gives you "lsb_release -d"?
[00:27] <zykotick9> !info playonlinux
[00:27] <multimedia> k1l: 3.13 didn't change anything. I went digging more into dmesg, and lookey here, you were right! [drm] radeon: 1024M of GTT memory ready
[00:28] <_dylan> ubuntu 14.04.3 lts
[00:28] <k1l> multimedia: ok.
[00:28] <multimedia> k1l: going to research how to decrease this allocation
[00:29] <ZadreK> coucou
[00:29] <zykotick9> k1l: using -s with lsb_reliease shortens things a bit ;)  see "lsb_release -d" vs "lsb_release -sd"
[00:30] <k1l> nice.
[00:30] <ZadreK> hello
[00:31] <locksmith> o
[00:31] <ZadreK> hi
[00:31] <_dylan> hi
[00:31] <ZadreK> what's up?
[00:32] <_dylan> k11 im using ubuntu 14.04.3 lts
[00:33] <_dylan> if you needed to know fyi
[00:33] <k1l> _dylan: i would install the playonlinux from the ubuntu repo
[00:33] <_dylan> sudo apt-get install playonlinux?
[00:33] <k1l> yes
[00:33] <_dylan> ok thank you
[00:34] <ZadreK> wine is suffisent
[00:42] <porg> can anyone help me with a clojure upgrade on ubuntu derivative?
[00:42] <jvtbatman> Hey! I've followed this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604251
[00:42] <jvtbatman> ..and it works great except for when I connect it to another computer. Is there a solution to have it unaccessible there
[00:42] <daftykins> porg: ubuntu derivatives are not supported here, unless you mean official spin offs with other DEs like xu lu or ku buntu
[00:42] <k1l> porg: better ask the specialists form netrunner about the specifics
[00:43] <porg> yeah - official spinoff
[00:43] <porg> i dont care about netrunner - chan is dead on netrunnner anyways
[00:43] <porg> just using it now
[00:43] <porg> kubuntu
[00:43] <daftykins> jvtbatman: unaccessible? you want an NTFS disk to not be readable in another system?
[00:43] <jvtbatman> Pretty much, yeah
[00:43] <porg> apparently no one actually knows how to properly upgrade clojure on ubuntu
[00:44] <daftykins> jvtbatman: nothing to do with ubuntu then - and no, ridiculous request
[00:44] <jvtbatman> Maybe encryption is the only way to go?
[00:44] <daftykins> yes
[00:44] <porg> SO's instructions are all wrong too - lein doesn't do it either
[00:44] <MiningMarsh> jvtbatman: You can try using hdparm to set the readonly flag
[00:45] <MiningMarsh> jvtbatman: last I tested windows doesn't make it obvious how to toggle that off, so it is better than nothing.
[00:45] <jvtbatman> Yeah, sorry! Thanks MiningMarsh, I'll check it out
[00:45] <porg> i'm stuck on clojure 1.5, can't get apt to find latest version - lein upgrades fine, but can't get it to default to clr1.7
[00:45] <[Mew2]> guys
[00:45] <porg> clj*
[00:45] <MiningMarsh> jvtbatman: oh wait you want it to not be readable, or writable?
[00:45] <[Mew2]> can anyone help me
[00:45] <MiningMarsh> I think I misread you...
[00:46] <Ben64> [Mew2]: depends, what are you trying to accomplish?
[00:46] <[Mew2]> I setup fail2ban and it's not blocking ip's, Ssh failed logins specifically is what I'm testing, [ssh] = true in the config
[00:46] <k1l> porg: you need a repo that got that version in it
[00:46] <jvtbatman> MiningMarsh: I don't want it readable/writable or anything
[00:47] <MiningMarsh> jvtbatman: Yeah no way to do that without some form of encryption.
[00:47] <porg> k1l: gah, didn't check my repos...
[00:47] <porg> i'll do that first my bad
[00:47] <MiningMarsh> You could set the NTFS permissions to only let a specific user read, but that depends on the OS enforcing it.
[00:47] <k1l> porg: even 16.04 will have only clojure1.6
[00:47] <porg> k1l: Seriously??
[00:48] <porg> k1l: thanks for the heads up on that.... i'll figure something
[00:48] <porg> out
[00:48] <jvtbatman> Alright then, thanks! Sorry for weird choice of channel.
[00:49] <k1l> and since clojure.org is not loading i dont know if that is still a thing.
[00:49] <porg> k1l: ok. I'm thinking i jacked something up in my path. I installed every script and upgrade known to man, but when i hit the repl, it still kicks me to 1.5.1
[00:50] <private231> hi. trying to repair grub using boot-repair. can i confirm with "GPT detected" it is normal to be required to create an additional BIOS-boot partition - ubuntu requires more than one partition (excluding swap). thanks
[00:51] <locksmith> Hi guys... I am compiling a program on Windows using MingW and it uses the openSSL library. When I execute MyProgram.exe, it just returns without doing anything. No crash dump, no error message o ra nything. How can I  troubleshoot this?
[00:51] <[Mew2]> anyone?
[00:51] <locksmith> I'll dig into the code
[00:51] <locksmith> ..
[00:51] <locksmith> brb
[00:51] <daftykins> locksmith: that's not ubuntu support. try #linux
[00:51] <joeb3_> [Mew2], I'm reading https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-ssh-with-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-14-04
[00:51] <k1l> [Mew2]: are you in the whitelist ip space?
[00:51] <joeb3_> wrong window, sorry
[00:52] <[Mew2]> joeb3_ thats the guide i followed, k1l what does that mean?
[00:53] <Bashing-om> private231: you will need either an EFI partition (if your BIOS is set up in EFI mode) or a BIOS-Boot partition (if your BIOS is set up in Legacy mode).
[00:54] <k1l> [Mew2]: it will not close already runnig connections. did you look up the iptables?
[00:56] <[Mew2]> no i just configured it
[00:56] <k1l> and restarted it?
[00:56] <[Mew2]> yes
[00:56] <joeb3_> [Mew2], the default install of fail2ban enables ssh.  You have to fail 6 times.
[00:56] <k1l> and then take a look at the iptables?
[00:56] <[Mew2]> if i pastebin the iptables will you take a look?
[00:56] <joeb3_> Thats 6 connections or 18 password attempts.  Worked for me.

[01:05] <haskel> ok guys, I am converting my personal ubuntu machine, into a machine that others can ssh into, I want to remove all of my personal files and info, where should I start?
[01:06] <Ben64> haskel: remove all your personal files and info. only you know where those are
[01:06] <haskel> Ben64, I am thinking I can start from /home/my_user_name as opposed to starting from /
[01:07] <haskel> Ben64, I know anything I've created/downloaded/etc is in /home/my_user_name, and I can manage that, but am not sure if I need to worry about files in /
[01:08] <Ben64> haskel: only if you put something there
[01:08] <haskel> Ben64, but things can go there if I sudo apt-get install stuff right?
[01:08] <Ben64> haskel: yeah, but it wouldn't be personal stuff
[01:09] <haskel> Ben64, cool cool, I am good then
[01:09] <haskel> Ben64, btw there are some things I want to uninstall, is there a way to list all packages installed by apt-get
[01:10] <Ben64> "dpkg -l" will show everything installed, but some stuff is required for a working system
[01:12] <Bashing-om> haskel: 'dpkg --get-selections' will dump a list of all packages you have installed. ( redirect to a file as needed )
[01:12] <haskel> Ben64, sweet!
[01:13] <haskel> Bashing-om, thanks I was getting a lot of output, that should narrow things down

[01:24] <joerse> hi
[01:25] <HappyHippie> gday joerse
[01:25] <HappyHippie> how are ubuntu?
[01:25] <HappyHippie> :P
[01:30] <sekrit> rww: i think that's all of them
[01:30] <Dylan____> Guys im still having trouble installing playonlinux
[01:30] <rww> sekrit: agreed
[01:30] <Dylan____> Like i tried to install playonlinux but through synaptics and it deleted my ubuntu-desktop and stuff
[01:31] <rww> !info playonlinux
[01:31] <Dylan____> And then i tried from the software center it didnt work and required python but python comes bundled in the ubuntu desktop
[01:31] <rww> oh, that.
[01:31] <rww> Dylan____: how are you installing it? Ubuntu's repositories or some third-party one?
[01:32] <Dylan____> Im activated all of ubuntus repositorys
[01:32] <Dylan____> By of my knowledge and i first tried through the software center come up with some error related to python and some virtual package
[01:32] <rww> Dylan____: pastebin the contents of apt-cache policy playonlinux
[01:33] <Dylan____> Then i tried synaptics only to tell me things about broken packages or something then it removed all of the ubuntu desktop including the apps system settings xorgs ,etc
[01:33] <Dylan____> Ok let me boot my laptop up
[01:33]  * rww blinks
[01:33] <tomreyn> Dylan____: that's AFTER running "sudo apt-get update", and show the output opf that as well
[01:34] <Dylan____> So run sudo apt-get update followed by the apt-cache policy
[01:34] <tomreyn> right, and put all of it on pastebin
[01:34] <Dylan____> Ok
[01:34] <Dylan____> Can i do all of that followed with pastebinit command?
[01:35] <tomreyn> (sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-cache policy playonlinux) | pastebinit
[01:36] <Dylan____> Tells me im trying to send a empty document
[01:38] <Dylan____> If i type without the pastebin i get the stuff pulled up in the terminal
[01:38] <Finetundra> How would I set a static IP?
[01:40] <Dylan____> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14379623/
[01:41] <Dylan____> Heres another link
[01:41] <Dylan____> Probably better one http://paste.ubuntu.com/14379651/
[01:41] <daftykins> Finetundra: network manager.
[01:42] <anabain> Finetundra, if you want to make it via console, you have to modify the file /etc/network/interfaces
[01:43] <anabain> Finetundra, this is an example that should suffice: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14379674/
[01:43] <anabain> Finetundra, modify data as you need to suit your settings
[01:44] <Finetundra> daftykins: how would I set it up from the gui
[01:44] <Finetundra> ?
[01:45] <joeb3_> Finetundra, system-settings - network
[01:46] <Finetundra> joeb3_: I know how to get to the gui
[01:46] <Dylan____> Tomyryen?
[01:46] <Finetundra> better yet, what should the sytnax be for the DNS servers in the GUI
[01:46] <Finetundra> ?
[01:46] <daftykins> it's pretty obvious once you get in there, you add or edit a connection for eth0 if it's wired...
[01:46] <daftykins> syntax in the GUI? that doesn't make sense
[01:47] <joeb3_> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>   for example.
[01:47] <anabain> Finetundra, after modifying it, you have to execute this: sudo ifdown eth0; ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up; ifup eth0; /etc/init.d/networking restart
[01:47] <Finetundra> daftykins: is there a special way the DNS servers need to be listed
[01:47] <daftykins> the GUI is pretty obvious about how they're written
[01:47] <daftykins> i'd ignore anabain's advice btw.
[01:47] <Finetundra> anabain: is that for the GUI or the config edit
[01:48] <joeb3_> sorry....  <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:48] <daftykins> that advice is more appropriate for servers
[01:48] <Finetundra> joeb3_: thanks
[01:48] <joeb3_> Finetundra, it needs the comma
[01:50] <Dylan____> Can someone help me figure my problem pastebin here
[01:50] <Dylan____> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14379623/
[01:50] <anabain> Finetundra, that's for the console method. Btw, you can ignore whatever advice is given here.
[01:50] <bazhang> patience Dylan____
[01:50] <Tundra> daftykins: it worked
[01:50] <daftykins> anabain: did i hurt your feelings? :)
[01:51] <anabain> daftykins, sure!
[01:51] <anabain> I won't sleep tonight
[01:51] <daftykins> well try to grow up, it's a new year.
[01:51] <anabain> thank you for you wise advice, I don't know what I'd do without it.
[01:52] <daftykins> :) sensitive
[01:58] <[Mew2]> whats the command to make a conf file?
[01:58] <[Mew2]> mk something?
[01:59] <EriC^^> what conf file
[01:59] <[Mew2]> Create a file openvpn.conf in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/with the following content:
[01:59] <EriC^^> that's like asking what's the ingredients to cook a meal
[01:59] <codencrazy> touch is generally the command you use to create a file
[01:59] <[Mew2]> touch openvpn.conf ?
[02:00] <EriC^^> [Mew2]: well, if you're going to add content to it, then nano /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/openvpn.conf
[02:00] <[Mew2]> nano will make the file and take em str8 to the editor?
[02:00] <EriC^^> yeah
[02:00] <[Mew2]> ty :))
[02:01] <EriC^^> you might need to use sudo depending on stuff
[02:01] <[Mew2]> yup
[02:01] <EriC^^> np
[02:06] <dakota_> Hello
[02:06] <dakota_> ???
[02:07] <rww> hi
[02:07] <dakota_> How's it going?
[02:12] <VFDPrim> so this is cool i closed chrome and now i have no available browser
[02:12] <VFDPrim> i think my hard drive is crashing lol
[02:14] <[Mew2]> guys i need help again please
[02:15] <private231> hello. i am trying to use boot-repair to repair grub. boot-repair instructs "GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag)" which i did. then after restarting boot-repair it reports "The boot of your PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition was detected. You may want to retry after creating a EFI partition (FAT32, 100MB~250MB, start of the disk, boot flag)." which i did.
[02:15] <nicomachus> private231: do you have an EFI windows partition?
[02:15] <Finetundra> [Mew2]: please ask
[02:15] <private231> but then returns to the original problem "GPT detected. Please create a BIOS-Boot partition (>1MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag)" so in a circle.. : /
[02:15] <VFDPrim> any one tell me how to fix this ?sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/prim/0: No such file or directory

[02:15] <private231> i deleted my windows7 partition
[02:15] <nicomachus> !paste | VFDPrim
[02:16] <[Mew2]> i tried to make fail2ban work on openvpn using this guide https://blogs.fsfe.org/stefan.a/2014/03/30/monitor-block-openvpn-logins-fail2ban/ , i now get this error when i start fail2ban service: WARNING 'ignoreregex' not defined in 'Definition'. Using default one: ''
[02:16] <nicomachus> private231: I don't have experience with it, but it sounds like ubuntu was installed as Legacy on a BIOS which is set to EFI.
[02:16] <nicomachus> or the other way around.
[02:16] <private231> ugh
[02:16] <nicomachus> private231: is this a fresh install?
[02:17] <private231> no 12.04LTS
[02:17] <nicomachus> and what led to the original error?
[02:18] <private231> i had dual boot win7 ubuntu and i removed win7 partition
[02:18] <nicomachus> ahhh, I see.
[02:19] <private231> ive spent much time searching solutions but no success
[02:19] <nicomachus> how did you delete win7?
[02:20] <private231> removed the partition with gparted and extended ubuntu partition
[02:20] <OerHeks> !aptlock | VFDPrim
[02:21] <VFDPrim> OerHeks: no such file or directory
[02:24] <Stmeter> How can I increase the MTU of my GRE tunnel?
[02:25] <private231> nicomachus: the boot-repair process actually succeeds but when i reboot, i am not taken to grub. it looks like a boot loader from lenovo but which lists the hdd and lan boot but when i select the hdd it just loads same screen
[02:25] <private231> i cant navigte to grub
[02:27] <nicomachus> hold shift
[02:27] <nicomachus> or repeatedly press it
[02:28] <private231> for bios? ive tried everything through bios
[02:28] <VFDPrim> well a restart worked
[02:28] <nicomachus> no, holding shift should bring up grub.
[02:28] <TJ-> Sounds like there is no partition marked as bootable since the Windows partition was deleted. Mark the ubuntu partition bootable
[02:28] <VFDPrim> but now im getting this when i try to update Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/universe/source/Sources  Hash Sum mismatch
[02:28] <VFDPrim> W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/multiverse/source/Sources  Hash Sum mismatch
[02:28] <TJ-> private231: that was for you ^^^ ..
[02:29] <TJ-> private231: many BIOS boot-managers will only boot from MBR if they find a partition with the active/boot flag set on it.
[02:30] <VFDPrim> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380400/
[02:30] <private231> i have dev/sda1 fat32 which boot-repair asked for is flagged "boot" should i try it on the ubuntu partition?
[02:30] <TJ-> private231: fat32? is that a UEFI System Partition ?
[02:30] <[Mew2]> is it possible to give winscp sudo access?
[02:30] <private231> yes i was prompted "The boot of your PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition was detected. You may want to retry after creating a EFI partition (FAT32, 100MB~250MB, start of the disk, boot flag). Do you want to continue?"
[02:31] <private231> which ive done
[02:32] <TJ-> private231: that sounds like you've managed to mix up an original BIOS/MBR with UEFI/MBR. Win7 (unless 64-bit) would have been installed in BIOS/MBR mode
[02:32] <private231> yeah thats what i feels like. i might have to fresh install?
[02:32] <TJ-> private231: are you using the Live ISO booted on it now?
[02:32] <private231> yes
[02:33] <TJ-> private231: which ubuntu release is that? 12.04, 14.04 ?
[02:33] <private231> 14.04
[02:33] <TJ-> private231: depending on which release the ISO is for, gives us differing tool abilities
[02:34] <TJ-> private231: Right, "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit <( sudo parted  /dev/sda unit s print )"

[02:36] <private231> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380498/
[02:38] <TJ-> private231: That is showing us there's a GPT there; lets check if there's also an MsDOS PT: "pastebinit <( sudo fdisk -l )"
[02:39] <private231> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380553/
[02:39] <Gallomimia> lettuce45: you should be able to use such a device with linux by copying files onto the sd card. having it work by connecting a usb cable is pretty tough to find. let me know if you do
[02:40] <private231> how is there still traces of windows?
[02:40] <TJ-> private231: That's cleared things up! The MBR isn't 'hybrid' and therefore doesn't have the same partitions in it the GPT has
[02:41] <private231> so im still on legacy MBR?
[02:41] <TJ-> private231: do "which sgdisk" and confirm the /sbin/sgdisk tool is installed
[02:42] <private231> TJ-:  /sbin/sgdisk yes
[02:43] <TJ-> private231: Let's create a correct hybrid MBR that contains the same partitions the GPT does: "sudo sgdisk --hybrid 1:6 /dev/sda"
[02:43] <Dylan____> Hey guys when ever im trying to watch a video or move files my laptop suddenly freezes and everytime i have to turn it off with the power button
[02:43] <Dylan____> How can i fix this?
[02:44] <private231> TJ-:  The operation has completed successfully.
[02:44] <TJ-> private231: now let's confirm that with "pastebinit <( sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda )"
[02:45] <private231> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380659/
[02:45] <private231> :D
[02:46] <TJ-> private231: now we'll mark partition sda4 as bootable/active with s*F*disk: "sudo sfdisk --activate 3 /dev/sda"
[02:46] <TJ-> correction, mark sda3 active (just my typo!)
[02:46] <lettuce45> what small laptop with free bios (or similar) should I buy?
[02:47] <lettuce45> Intended use: playing mp3 files while on my bed
[02:48] <private231> TJ-:  so "sudo sfdisk --activate sda3 /dev/sda"
[02:48] <TJ-> private231:  "sudo sfdisk --activate 3 /dev/sda"
[02:49] <private231> TJ-:  3: No such file or directory  sfdisk: cannot open 3 read-write
[02:49] <TJ-> private231: hmmm; let me check if 14.04's sfdisk is different to the 1 I'm using here
[02:49] <private231> <3
[02:50] <TJ-> private231: OK... I was accidentally using the man-page from a 12.04 server I was SSH-ed onto!
[02:51] <TJ-> private231: "sudo sfdisk --activate /dev/sda 3"
[02:51] <private231> TJ-:  WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util sfdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.  Use the --force flag to overrule this check.
[02:52] <TJ-> private231: do as it says. Add "--force" before "--activate"
[02:52] <TJ-> private231: GPT doesn't have the same concept of marking partitions with an 'active' flag
[02:53] <private231> TJ-:  "Done"
[02:53] <TJ-> private231: Right, now let's find out what mode the Live env is booted in: "pastebinit <( ls /sys/firmware/efi/ )"
[02:54] <TJ-> brb... coffee needed!
[02:54] <private231> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380791/
[02:54] <private231> TJ-:  ok!
[02:59] <SkepticalParrot> Does unity use the Metacity window manager?
[03:01] <aoteman> 么人？
[03:01] <TJ-> private231: So the system is currently in EFI mode. We can try mounting the failed install and fix GRUB, but if it is installed with grub-pc we *may* need to reboot and ensure the Live ISO boots in BIOS/Legacy mode, not EFI.
[03:01] <TJ-> private231: before that we need to ensure the kernel knows about the changed partitioning. "pastebinit <( grep sda /proc/partitions )"
[03:02] <private231> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380936/
[03:03] <TJ-> So it will see the GPT partition entries. We'll keep that in mind later if we hit problems
[03:04] <TJ-> private231: "pastebinit <( sudo blkid /dev/sda*; sudo lsblk -f  )"
[03:04] <careta> anyone here an apparmor god? This thing is killing me
[03:04] <private231> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380968/
[03:06] <rww> SkepticalParrot: no, it uses compiz
[03:06] <TJ-> private231: OK, let's get on with mounting to a chroot: "sudo mkdir /target; sudo mount /dev/sda6 /target" then "pastebinit <( ls -latr /target/ )"
[03:07] <SkepticalParrot> o
[03:07] <private231> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381009/
[03:07] <probie> hello i have clamtk installed and it keeps coming up with pua is this normal. please
[03:08] <probie> .
[03:10] <TJ-> private231: looking good; looks like a root file-system. So "for M in proc sys dev dev/pts etc/resolv.conf; do sudo mount --bind /$M /target/$M; done"
[03:12] <private231> TJ-: ok
[03:12] <TJ-> private231: now enter the chroot and we'll check it has network connectivity: "sudo chroot /target" then "ping -nc 5 <IP_ADDRESS>"
[03:13] <private231> --- <IP_ADDRESS> ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 305.710/355.332/436.308/50.423 ms
[03:13] <TJ-> private231: and then check DNS name resolving works with "ping -c 5 google-public-dns-a.google.com" - you're hitting the same server (<IP_ADDRESS>) again using its name this time
[03:13] <private231> --- google-public-dns-a.google.com ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4004ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 61.190/259.927/348.341/108.495 ms
[03:14] <TJ-> private231: Good! so let's install pastebinit inside that chroot: "apt-get install pastebinit"
[03:14] <private231> TJ-: done
[03:15] <TJ-> private231: now some data: "pastebinit <( cat /etc/fstab; ls -latr /boot/; ls -altr /boot/grub/* )"
[03:16] <private231> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381166/
[03:17] <TJ-> private231: yurk! a bit of a mess! fstab claims it's booting using EFI but /boot/grub/i386-pc/ shows it's installed only for BIOS
[03:17] <private231> :(
[03:18] <TJ-> private231: lets check which grub packages are actually installed: "pastebinit <( dpkg -l 'grub*' )"
[03:18] <HappyHippie> when is Ubuntu 16.10 due out???
[03:18] <TJ-> HappyHippie: October 2016
[03:18] <private231> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381214/
[03:18] <HappyHippie> is it a lts release?
[03:19] <TJ-> HappyHippie: no, the LTs is 16.04
[03:19] <HappyHippie> ah yep
[03:19] <HappyHippie> thanks TJ-
[03:19] <TJ-> private231: that list shows grub-pc is installed - so it should be using BIOS mode. That means we need to fix-up that incorrect fstab (possibly added by that bootrepair script)
[03:20] <psusi> TJ-, the /boot/grub entry in /etc/fstab is commented out
[03:20] <psusi> err, /boot/efi
[03:21] <TJ-> private231: it's also possible everything is the exact opposite, so best to check! "mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi" then "pastebinit <( find /boot/efi -ls )"
[03:22] <TJ-> psusi: right, but at some point something put it there; I'm trying to determine how it got there :)
[03:22] <private231> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381277/
[03:22] <TJ-> private231: OK, so there's nothing in the file-system from /dev/sda1, so the EFI stuff is all red herrings
[03:22] <TJ-> private231: "umount /boot/efi"
[03:23] <private231> TJ-:  ok
[03:24] <Shady> hi there, I got this when I update my  ubuntu wily  ( public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 0A3A17214427F6F1)
[03:24] <TJ-> private231: now lets remove those (commented) EFI references from fstab, to make things less confusing. "sed -i '/efi/d' /etc/fstab"
[03:25] <TJ-> private231: now we'll go and ensure GRUB is correctly installed: "grub-install --verbose /dev/sda"
[03:25] <tomreyn> Shady: that's most likely the repository signing key of a non-supported APT repository / PPA which you added manually
[03:26] <tomreyn> running "gpg --search-key 0A3A17214427F6F1" may provide a hint on itrs source / use.
[03:28] <private231> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381369/
[03:28] <TJ-> Shady: that key: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x0A3A17214427F6F1&fingerprint=on
[03:28] <TJ-> private231: I expected that since GRUB is trying to use the GPT
[03:29] <private231> TJ-:  ahk
[03:31] <TJ-> private231: I found away to work-around this recently; darned if I can recall what it was, now!
[03:31] <remu> I had 14.04 system where I setup a software RAID1 array. I moved the hard drives to a new machine after installing mdadm, and the array seems to have been auto assembled, but as /dev/md127, rather than the original /dev/md3 that it was.
[03:32] <private231> TJ-:  LOL!
[03:32] <b4tm4n> I can't manually set DNS through Network Manager without disabling dnsmasq
[03:32] <remu> My mdadm.conf file on the new machine doesn't have an ARRAY listing like the old mdadm.conf had.
[03:32] <b4tm4n> What is the proper way to manually set the DNS servers?
[03:32] <remu> Do I need to do anything else to make sure everything is okay?
[03:32] <b4tm4n> (been googling, finding too many answers that are not working)
[03:33] <private231> TJ-: if it becomes too difficult i can cut my losses
[03:35] <TJ-> private231: we can slip a BIOS Boot partition into the end of the disk, after partition 6
[03:35] <Shady> TJ-, how to add it?
[03:37] <private231> TJ-: because my start of disk eufi is wrecked?
[03:38] <TJ-> private231: ah, only 389 sectors left; not enough. But, as its not using EFI we can delete partition 1 and use some of its space for a 1MB BIOS-Boot partition
[03:38] <OerHeks> Shady, sure you know which ppa it is >https://launchpad.net/~vpinon/+ppa-packages , add it properly
[03:39] <OerHeks> that key is for 2 ppas
[03:40] <TJ-> private231: Are you OK with us deleting partition #1 ?
[03:40] <private231> TJ-:  yes i only created it for boot-repair
[03:41] <TJ-> private231: OK, so "sgdisk --delete=1 /dev/sda"
[03:42] <private231> TJ-: Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table. The new table will be used at the next reboot. The operation has completed successfully.
[03:43] <TJ-> private231: then we'll create a 1MiB partition for BIOS Boot. "sgdisk --new=1:2048:+1M"
[03:43] <TJ-> private231: that's fine; we'll tell the kernel to update in a few moments
[03:44] <Shady> OerHeks, I don't know what is the problem but the software updates can't add it??!!
[03:45] <private231> TJ-: ok
[03:45] <b4tm4n> anyone help with a dnsmasq/networkmanager issue?
[03:45] <TJ-> private231: then mark it as a bios boot type: "sgdisk --typecode=1:ef02"
[03:46] <TJ-> private231: and finally, we redo the hybrid MsDOS PT with "sgdisk --hybrid 1:6"
[03:46] <private231> TJ-: good good
[03:46] <TJ-> private231: now lets check if you have a tool we need: "which partprobe"
[03:48] <private231> TJ-:  /sbin/partprobe
[03:48] <TJ-> private231: good; so: "partprobe /dev/sda"
[03:48] <TJ-> private231: and then "pastebinit <( cat /proc/partitions )"
[03:48] <private231> TJ-:  ok
[03:48] <private231> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381765/
[03:49] <TJ-> private231: it's not seeing that new partition #1
[03:49] <TJ-> private231: "pastebinit <( parted /dev/sda unit s print )"
[03:50] <private231> TJ-:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381797/
[03:51] <TJ-> private231: that's not right! those 'sgdisk' commands we used haven't created the new partition ... were there no warnings/errors when you did the --new= and/or --typecode= ?
[03:51] <private231> TJ-:  there was no response, i assumed fine
[03:52] <TJ-> private231: right; usually silence is golden :s
[03:52] <TJ-> private231: we can only try again and check after each step
[03:52] <private231> TJ-:  sgdisk --new=1:2048:+1M root@ubuntu:/# sgdisk --typecode=1:ef02 root@ubuntu:/# sgdisk --hybrid 1:6
[03:52] <HappyHippie> how old is the last LTS Ubuntu?
[03:53] <TJ-> private231: "sgdisk --new=1:2048:+1M /dev/sda"
[03:53] <TJ-> private231: then "sgdisk --typecode=1:ef02 /dev/sda"
[03:54] <TJ-> private231: I just noticed the previous commands I gave you didn't have the device name!! no wonder it didn't work :)
[03:54] <TJ-> private231: then ""sgdisk --hybrid 1:6 /dev/sda"
[03:54] <private231> TJ-:  it does say "The new table will be used at the next reboot."
[03:55] <TJ-> private231: after those 3 commands you should now seed /dev/sda1 with "parted /dev/sda unit s print"
[03:55] <TJ-> s/seed/see/
[03:55] <TJ-> private231: it's almost 4am here; I think I'm getting tired
[03:56] <private231> TJ-: Number  Start     End         Size        File system  Name  Flags  1      2048s     4095s       2048s       fat32              bios_grub  6      2048000s  488396799s  486348800s  ext4
[03:56] <private231> TJ-:  you have no obligation <3
[03:56] <TJ-> private231: if you do see /dev/sda1 there now, tell the kernel about it with "partprobe /dev/sda" then check if its seen with "grep sda /proc/partitions"
[03:56] <Bashing-om> HappyHippie: 14.04 == the 4th month of the year 2014 as the time of release, supported for 5 years .
[03:56] <TJ-> private231: we're almost finished now :)
[03:56] <private231> TJ-:  8        0  244198584 sda    8        1       1024 sda1    8        6  243174400 sda6
[03:56] <TJ-> private231: fab!
[03:57] <TJ-> private231: OK, so now "grub-install -v /dev/sda"
[03:57] <HappyHippie> thanks Bashing-om
[03:57] <private231> TJ-:  Installation finished. No error reported.
[03:57] <TJ-> private231: and finally: "update-grub"
[03:57] <Bashing-om> HappyHippie: :)
[03:58] <private231> TJ-:  Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration done
[03:58] <TJ-> private231: huh!?!?!!?
[03:58] <TJ-> private231: oh grrrr, that's not what we want!
[03:58] <private231> Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-26-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-26-generic Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration done
[03:58] <private231> TJ-:  :(
[03:59] <private231> TJ-:  sleep time?
[04:01] <TJ-> private231: no, we just need to stop GRUB running that EFI menu script this time around. "chmod -x /etc/grub.d/etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware"
[04:01] <TJ-> private231: then redo "update-grub" and that shouldn't be executed
[04:01] <private231> TJ-:  chmod: cannot access ‘/etc/grub.d/etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware’: No such file or directory
[04:01] <TJ-> private231: oh doh me!
[04:01] <lapinozz> Hello, i have this usb webcam that worked and now it dosent, i think installed some stuff to change thwe settings but i dont remeber what, anyway it worked yesterday and now it dosent
[04:02] <TJ-> private231: "chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware"
[04:02] <TJ-> private231: then "update-grub"
[04:02] <private231> TJ-:  Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-26-generic done
[04:03] <TJ-> private231: good, so no mention of EFI. Now we'll put that script back as it was: "chmod +x /etc/grub.d/30_uefi-firmware"
[04:03] <TJ-> private231: and now you can do "exit" to leave that chroot, and then reboot and test in Legacy/BIOS mode
[04:03] <private231> TJ-:  ok
[04:03] <HappyHippie> Ubuntu YAY!
[04:03] <lapinozz> when running cheese libv4l2: error turning on stream: Input/output error
[04:03] <private231> TJ-:  :D
[04:03] <HappyHippie> what sucks less Unity? Or Gnome 3?
[04:04] <private231> TJ-:  so will i need to mash shift for grub?
[04:04] <TJ-> private231: you shouldn't no
[04:04] <eclectichedgehog> HappyHippie: xfce
[04:04] <private231> TJ-:  ok brb quick
[04:04] <TJ-> private231: as long as at the EFI/BIOS boot menu that disk is started in legacy mode it'll boot
[04:05] <GabeN> Is anyone using the unity8 greeter?  At boot time there's usually a hot-key you can press to get to the manual boot device chooser
[04:11] <nicomachus> ForSpareParts: even without the rest... have you considered SteamOS?
[04:11] <private231_> TJ-:  grub boot device chooser?
[04:12] <private231_> TJ-:  i dont reach grub
[04:12] <TJ-> private231_: no, nothing to do with GRUB or Linux. The PC's firmware
[04:12] <TJ-> private231_: there's usually hot-keys to enter firmware Setup, and also for firmware's manual boot menu
[04:12] <private231_> TJ-:  so inside bios screen?
[04:13] <ForSpareParts> nicomachus: I hadn’t given it much thought. I’ve been using Ubuntu to run XBMC/Kodi for years, and it seemed like there wasn’t much point in moving over — since I still wanted to do other stuff with it.
[04:13] <TJ-> private231_: often Setup is F2 or Del, and the boot menu is something like F8, F10, F12 or one of those higher-up keys - it should be displated (briefly) on-screen as soon as the PC starts
[04:13] <ForSpareParts> Anyhow: My problem is that games I stream from my Windows machine appear substantially darker on the client than on the host. So much so that in-game brightness adjustments don’t help.
[04:14] <ForSpareParts> I can set max brightness in game and things are still too dark on the client, but then, when I look at the host, everything’s CRAZY washed out (as I’d expect).
[04:14] <private231_> ok brb
[04:15] <TJ-> private231_: GRUB is installed correctly so if you choose that disk, and Legacy/BIOS/CSM boot mode, it should boot from it. That involves the PC firmware's BIOS emulation reading sector 0 (the MBR) from the disk, which contains the GRUB bootstrap code, which then reads GRUB's core image from /dev/sda1, which then displays the GRUB menu and/or autoboots the default entry in the grub.cfg
[04:15] <ForSpareParts> I’m running some Radeon card (don’t recall which one) using the open-source drivers. Any ideas/suggestions?
[04:15] <nicomachus> ForSpareParts: is this only in fullscreen or windowed mode? Or both?
[04:16] <ForSpareParts> nicomachus: I’ve only tried fullscreen, so far.
[04:16] <nicomachus> ForSpareParts: do you have a stream going right now you can test something on?
[04:16] <ForSpareParts> I can bring one up, sure.
[04:17] <nicomachus> ok. are you doing this through steam big picture mode?
[04:17] <ForSpareParts> yep
[04:17] <lapinozz> Hello, i have this usb webcam that worked and now it dosent, i think installed some stuff to change thwe settings but i dont remeber what, anyway it worked yesterday and now it dosent
[04:17] <lapinozz> when running cheese libv4l2: error turning on stream: Input/output error
[04:18] <beepie> lapinozz, the uvc site shuold say if the device is fully supported
[04:18] <private231> yesssssssssssssss
[04:18] <lapinozz> well it did work
[04:18] <TJ-> private231: I take it you figured it out ?
[04:18] <lapinozz> i just fucked it up
[04:18] <[Mew2]> how do i delete a file
[04:18] <[Mew2]> from command
[04:18] <private231> TJ-:  it was this secureboot thing blocking legacy
[04:18] <nicomachus> !language | lapinozz
[04:18] <beepie> lapinozz, http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/
[04:18] <lapinozz> sorry
[04:18] <private231> TJ-:  WELL DONE!
[04:18] <TJ-> private231: really? wouldn't have thought that was enabled if it was booting Win7 previously
[04:19] <private231> TJ-:  many thanks
[04:19] <[Mew2]> guys how do i delete this file /var/log/openvpn.log
[04:19] <nicomachus> [Mew2]: why would you want to delete that?
[04:19] <iAmerikan> sudo rm /var/log/openvpn.log
[04:19] <private231> i will donate some change to ubuntu in honour of #ubuntu :D
[04:19] <TJ-> [Mew2]: you shouldn't, you should logrotate it
[04:19] <[Mew2]> nicomachus it will be recreated anyways
[04:19] <private231> TJ-:  i dont remember it ever being enable so idk what happened there
[04:19] <[Mew2]> its a fresh install anywas
[04:19] <iAmerikan> it's an openvpn log so obviously privacy is in mind
[04:19] <[Mew2]> this is a test server
[04:19] <ForSpareParts> nicomachus: what do you want me to try with my stream?
[04:19] <TJ-> private231: well at least its fixed now
[04:20] <[Mew2]> please whats the command
[04:20] <private231> TJ-:  :DDDD
[04:20] <nicomachus> ForSpareParts: try going down to windowed mode.
[04:20] <iAmerikan> sudo rm /var/log/openvpn.log
[04:20] <[Mew2]> ty
[04:20] <ForSpareParts> nicomachus: Is there a way to do that while the stream is running?
[04:20] <private231> 7CHEERS FOR #UBUNTU
[04:20] <private231> HIPHIP
[04:20] <private231> HIPHIP
[04:20] <ForSpareParts> Or do you mean, force the game itself into windowed mode on the host?
[04:21] <nicomachus> ForSpareParts: no you want to do it on the client. shift-tab may do it..
[04:21] <ForSpareParts> nicomachus: No luck with shift-tab.
[04:21] <lapinozz> how can i reset every every webcam related package?
[04:21] <private231> haha ok well sweet dreams TJ
[04:21] <TJ-> private231: night :)

[04:22] <[Mew2]> i have to make the file manually?
[04:22] <[Mew2]> and what permissions do i give it
[04:22] <nicomachus> ForSpareParts: one moment, checking.
[04:22] <joeb3_> [Mew2], restart openvpn.  the file will get created.
[04:23] <[Mew2]> ok
[04:23] <iAmerikan> then to delete it next time just clear it
[04:23] <[Mew2]> worked thanks :)
[04:23] <iAmerikan> either sudo echo ' ' > /var/log/openvpn.log
[04:24] <ForSpareParts> nicomachus: Figured it out, it was alt-enter to go windowed.
[04:24] <iAmerikan> or sudo rm /var/log/openvpn.log && sudo touch $_
[04:24] <ForSpareParts> nicomachus: The brightness problem persists.
[04:26] <[Mew2]> thanks
[04:28] <nicomachus> well... apparently the "power" button in steam big picture mode actually shuts down the system...
[04:28] <beepie> nicomachus, so?
[04:29] <nicomachus> ForSpareParts: what's the graphics chipset on the client?
[04:31] <ForSpareParts> nicomachus: According to lspci: Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM
[04:31] <ForSpareParts> (I don’t remember which of those it actually is)
[04:31] <nicomachus> ForSpareParts: do you know if you're using the radeon or the fglrx driver?
[04:31] <ForSpareParts> radeon
[04:32] <ForSpareParts> I tried fglrx for a while, but at some point Kodi didn’t like it. Kodi’s been updated since, though, so maybe I should try my luck with fglrx again?
[04:33] <nicomachus> Ok. I'm looking at this: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/0/522728814097031600/
[04:34] <nicomachus> regardless, I don't *think* it's an ubuntu issue. Probably a better question for Steam. You may be able to adjust gamma settings somewhere, though, to at least get a better picture.
[04:35] <ForSpareParts> nicomachus: I tried forcing the host into windowed earlier, just to see what happened — no effect. And Steam doesn’t seem to have gamma settings of its own, unfortunately.
[04:36] <ForSpareParts> If it is a Steam problem, that’s unfortunate. Their customer service is… not great.
[04:36] <ForSpareParts> Thanks for trying to help, though!
[04:36] <lettuce45> i need a laptop with no bios, but freebios or similar, that can be edited
[04:36] <lettuce45> please name models
[04:37] <iAmerikan> lettuce45: why
[04:37] <lettuce45> to buy it
[04:38] <iAmerikan> ForSpareParts: could it be the video driver or xorg
[04:38] <ForSpareParts> iAmerikan: Possibly! If it were the video driver, I imagine I’d fix that by switching to fglrx, right?
[04:38] <ForSpareParts> Not sure what I’d do if it were an xorg problem.
[04:40] <iAmerikan> you could try
[04:40] <iAmerikan> xorg has logs at least
[04:46] <phi0x> hey guys, i'm having issues with setting up a cronjob. the job runs fine via crontab -u user -e. when i run the script manually it works. but when running via crontab it doesnt. the script does this: sed -r "s/bind\s=\s[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}/bind = $CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0/g" /home/user/IP > /home/user/IP.tmp
[04:46] <squinty> lettuce45,  http://www.coreboot.org/Support   might be a starting point
[04:47] <phi0x> when crontab executes the script, it makes "bind = " as the output. when it should be "bind = x.x.x.x"
[04:48] <phi0x> earlier in the script i do create the variable CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0 as seen here: CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0=$(ifconfig | grep -A 1 tun0 | tail -1 | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1)
[04:56] <tomreyn> phi0x: dont parse "ifconfig" output, use "ip"
[04:56] <tomreyn> other than that maybe your issue is that by the time the command runs (early at boot?) the network interface you are looking for is not present or not up yet?
[04:57] <phi0x> tomreyn, i think i figured it out (at least one work around option) i added PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/user at the top of my script and it seemed to allow 'sed' to read the variable.
[04:57] <tomreyn> i was going to suggest modifying the executing shell and PATH next
[04:58] <tomreyn> ;)
[04:58] <phi0x> im not sure why the PATH line needed to be added exactly..it works but im a bit confused why it's needed for 'sed' to read variables? the script itself has variables in it and bash seemed to read them just fine
[04:58] <phi0x> but sed apparently has issues reading variables inside scripts if crontab runs it?
[04:59] <tomreyn> also i would recommend using ${CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0} within the sed construct if you run it through a bash shell, just because i find it more readable
[04:59] <phi0x> tomreyn, what's that mean exactly?
[05:00] <tomreyn> the curly brackets indicate start end end of what is a variable and to be replaced there
[05:00] <ramenlicious> Can I run ubuntu iso in a virtual machine to install to a usb stick?
[05:00] <phi0x> ah kk
[05:01] <tomreyn> phi0x: while the following slash actually acts as a delimiter, indicating the variable ends there, aan alpha-numerical character would instead extend the variable name.
[05:01] <phi0x> ooo
[05:01] <tomreyn> ramenlicious: yes you can
[05:02] <tomreyn> ramenlicious: if you already run linux you can also just dd it, or use reawrite on windows
[05:02] <tomreyn> *rawwrite
[05:04] <ramenlicious> tomreyn: thanks i have tried unetbootin gnome-disks dd lili live-usb-creator and nothing works, even though it works on my other computer (same usb stick too!) so I'm at a loss.
[05:04] <Dylan____> Hey guys so i this person on the fourm suggested to fix the black screen i install nvidia-340 nvidia-340-uvm
[05:04] <Dylan____> I did that and rebooted and i got a black screen
[05:04] <Dylan____> And he said my card was compatibile
[05:04] <ramenlicious> Ill try rawwrite'
[05:04] <Dylan____> Heres the fourm link
[05:05] <Dylan____> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2308317
[05:06] <Dylan____> Does that mean i have to purge nvidia?
[05:06] <nicomachus> Dylan____: did you ever try nomodeset?
[05:06] <Dylan____> Im tried nomodeset aswell and it didnt work
[05:06] <Dylan____> Yeah
[05:08] <Dylan____> Also i had problems there was weird graphics aswell like nautliaus would freeze and my computer would hang up and things
[05:08] <tomreyn> ramenlicious: how do you determine "does not work"=
[05:08] <Dylan____> Ill try nomodeset again
[05:09] <tomreyn> ramenlicious: and how exactly did you try to do it with dd?
[05:10] <Dylan____> Ahh
[05:10] <Dylan____> Nomodeset didnt help
[05:10] <tomreyn> !usb | ramenlicious
[05:10] <ramenlicious> tomreyn:  yes ive been over that link for days, also grub2iso, won't boot (but this machine boots usb and can burn usb, thats how i got ubuntu installed in it
[05:11] <tomreyn> i hope you don't burn your usb ;)
[05:11] <ramenlicious> no big deal i'd just buy another but its a shame it doesnt work, i need it to fix my other computer
[05:12] <tomreyn> ramenlicious: which OS do you currently run there?
[05:12] <tomreyn> on your current computer, not the other one, which is broken
[05:12] <ramenlicious> this one is a minimal ubuntu install with openbox
[05:13] <ramenlicious> 15.10
[05:13] <tomreyn> ramenlicious: hmm, openbox, is that gtk-based? i don't know
[05:13] <ramenlicious> yeah
[05:13] <Herp> ?>
[05:14] <tomreyn> ramenlicious: you did not try usb-creator, yet? or was it just missing from your list above?
[05:14] <tomreyn> *tried
[05:14] <tomreyn> actually i think that's QT based now, not gtk anymore
[05:16] <ramenlicious> tomreyn: did try it, it wouldnt even let me choose the iso so I couldnt even burn it (it's a documented bug on that wiki link)
[05:17] <muka> ramenlicious, I just log in, are you trying to boot from usb?
[05:18] <Dylan____> I need support
[05:19] <nicomachus> You can do it, Dylan____!
[05:19] <Dylan____> Trying to browse the web and my ubuntu desktop freezes
[05:19] <Dylan____> Like it freezes for somereason and i keep having to turn it off at the switch
[05:20] <Dylan____> Its never happened to me before so im not sure if its a glitch a bug in ubuntu
[05:20] <muka> ramenlicious, is your bios set to boot from usb?
[05:22] <tomreyn> ramenlicious: so what about the other options, how do they "not work"?
[05:23] <tomreyn> Dylan____: which ubuntu version do you use, which grpahic hardware do you have, when did this issue start occurring, and wwhich changes have you made that may have made it occur?
[05:24] <ramenlicious> tomreyn: muka: I just remembered network install is not supported in usb, only cd. thats probably why it wont boot. I had this problem before; ended up installing server iso instead DOH!!!
[05:24] <ramenlicious> Ill download the server one and try it again
[05:24] <muka> Dylan____, have you check dmesg?
[05:24] <tomreyn> Dylan____: if you don't know about the graphics card, run this: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA
[05:26] <muka> ramenlicious, I use debian and network install works, so I think ubuntu should work as well.
[05:26] <Dylan____> Ok first of all i got ubuntu 14.04.3 and i started occuring this freezing after files manager nautailus would hang up now it doesnt and now firefox is hanging up on websites like google, youtube etc
[05:26] <Dylan____> Its never happened before
[05:26] <Dylan____> And ill pastebin contents back
[05:28] <Dylan____> Http://paste.ubuntu.com/14383090/ thats the dmesg one
[05:28] <ramenlicious> muka if you know how, do let me know
[05:28] <tomreyn> muka / ramenlicious: there is no netinstall on ubuntu (anymore), at least not officially.
[05:28] <HappyHippie> if i install compiz on unity.. then i  change desktops to MATE, will compiz be carried over to MATE?
[05:28] <ramenlicious> because the server iso is too big Id hate to re-download it again muka
[05:28] <tomreyn> there is mini.iso. though, which should work fine for this purpose.
[05:29] <ramenlicious> yes it's the mini iso im talking about, supposedly doesnt work from usb
[05:30] <muka> ramenlicious, sorry, but first is your bios set to boot from usb first?
[05:30] <tomreyn> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD states it works from usb
[05:31] <ramenlicious> muka yes this laptop already has ubuntu on it which was installed from usb, and i hit f12 to boot from usb
[05:31] <Dylan____> ahh the lspci knvv command you gave me whoever is not a command and it came up with 1 + stopped
[05:31] <ramenlicious> usb is first in boot  order muka
[05:33] <Dylan____> Ahh guys well i think i might have to switch browsers
[05:34] <Dylan____> Firefox whyy u do this
[05:34] <muka> ok, now go to your working computer and copy iso to usb. dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sd?. where /dev/ you can find by sudo fdisk -l
[05:35] <HappyHippie> if i install compiz on unity.. then i  change desktops to MATE, will compiz be carried over to MATE?
[05:35] <iAmerikan> you can also check dmesg immediatly after plugging in the usb
[05:36] <iAmerikan> HappyHippie: either way its installed, so if its not, you can run it manually or add it to an autostart. (i dont use either but this should apply either way)
[05:37] <Dylan____> Guys when i right click on the desktop i highlight something and theres like pixlated sprite images and messed up things on it
[05:40] <tomreyn> Dylan____: try again, you must have had a typo: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA
[05:40] <muka> Dylan____, I think you should research:  nouveau W[    PCE0][0000:04:00.0] disabled, PCE0=1 to enable
[05:41] <tomreyn> Dylan____: can we concentrate on fixing one issue at a time? i think your computer freezing, possibly due to the nourveau driver not being compatible to your graphics hardware, seems like a good initial target.
[05:41] <tomreyn> muka: that's a warning, there is actually an earlier error
[05:41] <tomreyn> or 2

[06:04] <django_> good day all
[06:04] <django_> im doing an OOJ course on coursera, how can i get the latest java sdk?
[06:04] <tomreyn> and to you
[06:05] <tomreyn> there is the openjdk as packaged in ubuntu, which comes in multiple flavors, and there is oracles proprietary jdk
[06:06] <django_> tomreyn, i do java -version
[06:06] <django_> java version "1.7.0_91"
[06:06] <slidinghorn> django_: ^^ but beware, versions not in the repos arent supported here...see !ppa
[06:06] <cmdswitch> django_: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-java-on-ubuntu-with-apt-get
[06:06] <iAmerikan> what versio do you need
[06:06] <tomreyn> i'd try the openjdk first, only switch to oracles if it turns out not to work
[06:07] <django_> it just says install the java JDK but they only have a guide for windows/mac
[06:07] <django_> " In this class we have tested our files with Java versions 7 and 8, so if you have anything older than that, you’ll want to upgrade."
[06:07] <cmdswitch> django_, I provided a link to help you
[06:08] <iAmerikan> 1.7 is 7 iirc
[06:08] <iAmerikan> so don't worry about installing anything?
[06:08] <tomreyn> openjdk-8 is packaged for ubuntu, so no need to use oracles' packjages
[06:08] <slidinghorn> !java > django_ also message !latest and !ppa to ubottu
[06:08] <tomreyn> right, 1.87 is the same as 7
[06:08] <tomreyn> right, 1.7 is the same as 7
[06:09] <iAmerikan> then he doesn't need to install -- keep it simple
[06:09] <tomreyn> django_: so you should be good to go, nothing to do
[06:09] <iAmerikan> go forth and System.out.println("Conquer!\n");
[06:12] <tomreyn> django_: actually you might just have the JRE but not the JDK installed. you can check whether you have the JDK by runniong: dpkg -l 'openjdk-7-*'| awk '/^i/ {print $2}'
[06:13] <django_> tomreyn, "openjdk-7-jdk:amd64
[06:13] <django_> "
[06:14] <tomreyn> django_: you're all set
[06:14] <django_> cool ty!
[06:23] <mick_> can't seem to access my user account. it is locked, and when i click on it , it is still saying it is locked. i am only able to use my computer through my guest account
[06:25] <mick_> can anyone help me out, thanks
[06:30] <mick_> mick could sure use a helping hand, thanks
[06:35] <mick_> any suggestions on how to unlock my user account. i do not have any administrative privileges
[06:39] <Dylan____> Im only had ubuntu 14.04 on this tomey
[06:40] <tomreyn> mick_: i tried to helo you with the exact same issue about 24 hours ago
[06:40] <Dylan____> Tomreyn sorry i was busy but im back now what did you want me to type in?
[06:40] <mick_> yes thanks i gave up it was getting late
[06:40] <tomreyn> mick_: if i remember well we did not succeed since you did not respond to half of my questions
[06:41] <mnathani_> whats something you can do on ubuntu, but not on freebsd?
[06:41] <mick_> 1 am where i am right now
[06:41] <mick_>  ya sorry i am not that good with computers
 Dylan____: which ubuntu version do you use, which graphics hardware do you have, when did this issue start occurring, and which changes have you made that may have made it occur?
 Dylan____: if you don't know about the graphics card, run this: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA
[06:44] <Dylan____> Ok
[06:44] <Dylan____> I run ubuntu 14.04lts i have a nvidia 320m this started occuring when i tried to move files and as far as i know i dont remember making changes or editing something

[06:45] <tomreyn> thse are the errors you have in your kernel log
[06:45] <zacwalls> So I downloaded and burned kali live to a disk and I was looking to dual boot that and my current OS (Ubuntu) But my problem is that I partitioned all of my HDD during install. I did however set up LVM. So maybe I can resize?
[06:46] <tomreyn> mick_: no problem
[06:46] <Dylan____> Ok
[06:46] <Dylan____> I brought up my lspci thingy
[06:46] <Dylan____> Let me paste bin it
[06:47] <zacwalls> :/ sorry
[06:49] <tomreyn> zacwalls: yes you can resize, it's not that easy, though, and you need to take backups before you do this
[06:49] <zacwalls> tomreyn backup what?
[06:49] <mick_> so i was trying the ctrl+alt+F1  SO WHEN I LOG IN WAS SHOULD I PUT. WHEN I DID PRESS THOSE KEYS THIS WINDOW THAT WE ARE COMMUNICATING ON, DISAPPEARS
[06:50] <tomreyn> zacwalls: the data on your computer that you would like to be able to restore in case you, say, break a partition during an attamept to resize things.
[06:50] <dylan> here you go tomy
[06:50] <dylan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14383746/
[06:51] <Dylan____> See if that helps
[06:51] <zacwalls> tomreyn, OK, I don't have any important data. So, do I use GParted or something?
[06:51] <tomreyn> mick_: you can switch back to the graphical display by pressing either ctrl-alt-f7 or -f8.
[06:52] <tomreyn> mick_: the reason i suggested top login on the text interface was to make sure you can actually login fine. apparently you can.
[06:52] <tomreyn> mick_: do you have a separate computer which works fine?
[06:53] <mick_> NO SORRY THIS IS IT
[06:53] <tomreyn> Dylan____: thanks. so the question i asked earlier which you have not really answered concretely, yet, is whether you every had ubuntu running reliably and stable, without things freezing, on this computer.
[06:54] <tomreyn> mick_: you mean you only have this one, right?
[06:54] <Dylan____> I had it running stable
[06:54] <ultrav1olet> How can I know if dmix is being used on a system where PulseAudio is enabled?
[06:54] <mick_> yes
[06:54] <Dylan____> Like im never had a problem with ubuntu
[06:54] <Dylan____> Until some how today
[06:55] <Dylan____> Im kinda a noob when it comes to linux
[06:56] <tomreyn> Dylan____: but didn't you experience the same issues yesterday?
[06:56] <Dylan____> No
[06:56] <tomreyn> okay, mixed it up then, sorry
[06:56] <tomreyn> for how long was it running stable?
[06:56] <Dylan____> That was like nvidia drivers things i had to purge nvidia to get a working desktop enviro,emt
[06:56] <Dylan____> It was running stable since i downloaded it on my macbook pro
[06:57] <tomreyn> mick_: okay, so i would suggest you try to look up on the ubuntu documentation how to reset unity. that'S the graphical desktop environment which ubuntu provides
[06:57] <tomreyn> mick_: that way you should be able to login fine using your standard user account again
[06:58] <tomreyn> i don't know how to do it myself, so woul dhave to searhc as well
[06:59] <zacwalls> tomreyn, So, would I use GParted the program or the bootable flash drive ISO version?
[06:59] <tomreyn> Dylan____: roughly for how long ago did you run the current ubuntu release on this macbook pro fine?
[06:59] <Dylan____> 2 days ago
[06:59] <tomreyn> zacwalls: bootable media
[07:00] <zacwalls> tomreyn, damn, so if I resize, what is the risk I screw everything?
[07:00] <tomreyn> zacwalls: i'm not sure it would work, though. i know you can do it without rebooting on the command line, and i did it before, but it's not easy when you have never done it.
[07:00] <tomreyn> zacwalls: pretty high ;) depends on how often you did it before.
[07:01] <zacwalls> tomreyn, will you walk me through?
[07:01] <zacwalls> I am kinda freaked out now lol
[07:01] <tomreyn> zacwalls: if you'll do it manually you'll need to take into account that there are several layers you need to resize. first you need to shrink the file system, then the logical volume it is on. then you can add another locical volume and create the other file system there.
[07:02] <tomreyn> since there are other people looking for help currently i don't think i can walk you through in more detail currently
[07:03] <zacwalls> tomreyn :/ ok
[07:03] <tomreyn> thus the suggestion to try the gparted live cd, which provides a graphical intertface
[07:03] <zacwalls> tomreyn OK, youtube here I come lol
[07:03] <Dylan____> Hmm
[07:05] <Dylan____> So tomreyn what have u come up with
[07:05] <mick_> OK, i will look for it and try. thanks
[07:05] <tomreyn> if you want to do it manually, you would use resize2fs to resize the file system, then either lvreduce or lvresizeto shrink the lv. then lvcreate to create a new lv, then "lvchange -a y" to activate it, and then you possible want to create a file system there (i forgot the overall goal you had) using mkfs.ext4
[07:06] <tomreyn> zacwalls: ^
[07:06] <zacwalls> tomreyn, the goal was to install kali
[07:06] <tomreyn> Dylan____: 2 days sin't exactly long, i'm willing to assume that this issue existed right from the  start, but maybe did not trigger then
[07:07] <Dylan____> Well idk
[07:07] <tomreyn> zacwalls: ah, then that part is off-topic here and i discussed all the preparatory steps. good luck!
[07:07] <tomreyn> mick_: good luck1
[07:07] <Dylan____> But my graphics had like fuzzy weird shaped things when rightclicked
[07:08] <zacwalls> tomreyn, Yeah, I am not that advanced lol. I might ask in kali
[07:08] <Dylan____> The system settings were all highlighted when i moved my mouse over the icons
[07:08] <tomreyn> Dylan____: during those 2 days after the installation, you say?
[07:08] <Dylan____> No
[07:08] <Dylan____> It happened today
[07:08] <Dylan____> Before those two days it was all fine
[07:08] <tomreyn> zacwalls: and good luck to you, too
[07:08] <zacwalls> tomreyn, thx :)
[07:08] <tomreyn> Dylan____: but you made no major changes during these two days?
[07:09] <tomreyn> like switch graphics drivers or upgrading ubuntu or the like?
[07:11] <tomreyn> Dylan____: still around?
[07:21] <m0kc> hello all
[07:22] <tomreyn> hi m0kc
[07:22] <m0kc> evening tomreyn
[07:23] <tomreyn> morning m0kc
[07:23] <m0kc> lol
[07:23] <m0kc> ....checking out backbox for the first time
[07:23] <m0kc> anyone running any interesting distros?
[07:24] <m0kc> ....I've found myself to be a bit of a distro hopping addict over the last 2 months lol
[07:24] <tomreyn> yes, i run ubuntu
[07:24] <nolsen> m0kc: So far, ubuntu is the best for my computer :\
[07:25] <m0kc> thinking about going back to arch and building from scratch.... it's just such a fucking headache every damned time
[07:25] <m0kc> but, with each time, it does get a little less painful, and I do learn something new every build
[07:25] <nolsen> Is it me or is there supposed to be a brightness slider on the unity status bar?
[07:26] <nolsen> Because there isn't.
[07:28] <HappyHippie> if i install compiz on unity.. then i  change desktops to MATE, will compiz be carried over to MATE?
[07:32] <Dylan____> Thats right
[07:36] <Dylan____> Guys?

[07:50] <Dylan____> Im not sure if its because my nvidia 320m driver is so old i dont know
[07:50] <Dylan____> !b jordan-Ch
[07:52] <Dylan____> !op
[07:53] <Dylan____> Woops
[07:53] <Dylan____> wrong command
[07:53]  * rww raises an eyebrow
[07:55] <Noob123> Is there a way to find out why a package is being pulled in as "extra"/"dependency" when I do an apt-get install on few, say 50, packages
[07:58] <Noob123> apt-cache rdepends --installed
[07:59] <Dylan____> Someone should be with you short

[08:29] <con-fused> I tried to delete all files/folder within a folder by running rm -rf * is this the correct way to do so?
[08:30] <RudyValencia> OK so I'm setting up ubuntu-mate on my box but I have no idea where to mount the remainder of my secondary hard drive that is not devoted to swap
[08:31] <zacwalls> This is really infuriating. Can anyone give me a solution? BTW, I do already have Kali installed. http://imgur.com/Y2BH9wH
[08:33] <tomreyn> con-fused: a better way is to cd one level up and to use "rm -rf subdirectory"
[08:34] <con-fused> tomreyn: but rm -rf * won't wipe my root right?
[08:34] <Ben64> con-fused: depends where you run it
[08:34] <tomreyn> con-fused: depends on where you run it.
[08:34] <con-fused> I ran in it in a random project directory in my home folder
[08:34] <con-fused> *ran it
[08:35] <con-fused> so theoretically it should only wipe the project directory right?
[08:35] <tomreyn> then only that directory and the files in there may or may not have been deleted.
[08:35] <tomreyn> that's because * does not match hidden files and directrories (starting with a dot)
[08:36] <nchambers> does rm follow symlinks?
[08:37] <tomreyn> no, it deletes them
[08:38] <tomreyn> RudyValencia: you could mount it to a subdirectory, such as ~/data or ~/Downloads
[08:39] <RudyValencia> tomreyn, this box will be joined to a Windows NT domain so that may not be the best
[08:39] <RudyValencia> (though I'm technically the only user)
[08:40] <tomreyn> RudyValencia: how's that related to where you mount a file system from a different disk?
[08:41] <RudyValencia> hm, I guess I could do /data maybe
[08:49] <zacwalls> Hello
[08:51] <cisc> zacwalls: could be a conflictory condition because Cali already installed Grub2
[08:52] <zacwalls> cisc, how can I fix?

[09:25] <reveredge> hey
[09:25] <pragdheesh> hi
[09:25] <pragdheesh> anybody online?
[09:25] <reveredge> I have connected a usb drive on ubuntu and unmounted using nautilus. Now i want to mount it from command line instead of removing and again connecting. How should I go?
[09:28] <pragdheesh> i have no idea abt it
[09:28] <pragdheesh> iam using virtualbox to use it
[09:28] <pragdheesh> so, nice meating u reveredge
[09:28] <simon> Hi, When I exec this command: " curl -v --insecure -XGET 'https://user:pass@IP_ADDR:PORT/SOME_FILE.php'" I'm getting stuck in "SSLv3, TLS handshake, Client hello (1):" for about a minute, and then getting: "curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to <IP_ADDRESS>:10445 ". Does anyone knows what can cause it and how can I fix it?
[09:29] <pragdheesh> anybody here?
[09:30] <reveredge> pragdheesh, ubuntu on virtualbox?
[09:31] <MagePsycho> Which book you guys recommend to be a good unix architect?
[09:31] <ufk_> hello
[09:31] <ufk_> how can i tell fsck to test for bad blocks ?
[09:32] <pragdheesh> using ur mouth
[09:33] <pragdheesh> anybody here for a nice chat, r everybody going to talk abt comp?
[09:34] <cisc> reveredge: did you use unmount or eject?
[09:34] <ducasse> ufk_: there is a program called 'badblocks' in the e2fsprogs package
[09:34] <ufk_> thanks
[09:35] <reveredge> cisc, in nautilus there is an arrow shown right to the name of the drive
[09:35] <ducasse> pragdheesh: try #ubuntu-offtopic, this is a support channel
[09:35] <reveredge> cisc, I clicked that
[09:35] <reveredge> cisc, that probably is unmount
[09:35] <reveredge> cisc, lsusb is showing the name of the drive
[09:36] <Guest45580> did usa intel supply isis with weapons like they did with al-qaeda to justify creating wars?
[09:36] <Guest45580> does the breakout of wars and violence in the middle east represent creative chaos usa declared to make in the middle east?
[09:36] <Guest45580> iraq&syria suffered too much.plz,send others my qs ,help to limit usa&israel aggression against others.
[09:36] <reveredge> cisc, but lsblk or fdisk are not showing
[09:36] <reveredge> cisc, they are only showing mounted partitions
[09:36] <cisc> that sounds like eject, not unmount
[09:37] <reveredge> cisc whats the difference then
[09:37] <cisc> which still unmounts, but you won't be able to mount it again until you pull the USB key out & re-insert it
[09:37] <cisc> http://i.stack.imgur.com/wOPxz.png
[09:40] <reveredge> cisc, thats fine... but since lsusb is detecting the device then there should be some way to connect it?
[09:45] <cisc> reveredge: you can use umount or sync from the command line if you are planning on re-inserting the USB key
[09:47] <cisc> reveredge: what you are wanting to do probably can't be done unless you restart the USB port the device is on, which gets into another technical level
[09:47] <reveredge> cisc, usb port can be restarted from command line
[09:48] <cisc> the device node gets wiped out when you eject it from Nautilus
[09:50] <cisc> reveredge: you could give this a try `eject /dev/sdb; sleep 1; eject -t /dev/sdb`
[09:50] <guest-m1LnUb> my keyboard layout is bugged
[09:51] <cisc> where 'sdb' is the name of your drive
[09:54] <reveredge> thanks cisc for the valuable inforamtion
[09:54] <cisc> no problem
[09:54] <HappyHippie> hi guys... I've read that it's possible to back up my /root partition to an external drive.. then in the future incase i need to reinstall my OS i can copy my backedup /root to my new install is this true???
[09:56] <Ben64> HappyHippie: yes, but kind of pointless, just backup your /home
[09:56] <HappyHippie> oops thats what i meant
[09:56] <HappyHippie> thank you Ben64
[09:56] <Ben64> no problem
[09:56] <HappyHippie> so how would i paste my backed up /home to my new install?
[09:57] <Ben64> i would use rsync to back up, and could use rsync to restore too
[09:57] <akik> reveredge: i have the same problem. i've gotten as far as that i can query the usb stick with "udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sdb" but don't know how to get the /dev/sdb device back without plugging it back again
[09:57] <HappyHippie> cant i do a GUI copy by rightclicking it and pasteing it into my external drive?
[09:58] <akik> reveredge: this is under kubuntu 14.04.3
[09:58] <Ben64> HappyHippie: i suppose, but rsync is faster/better and it will only copy the files it needs to
[09:58] <HappyHippie> great! thanks again Ben64
[09:59] <Ben64> HappyHippie: like suppose you back up every month. you could copy the entire /home every time, or you can just copy the changed/new files. thats where rsync really shines
[09:59] <guest-m1LnUb> my keyboard layout bugged ,how can i change it ?
[10:01] <Peyam> does anybody know a lightweight gtk music video player ?
[10:03] <Ben64> Peyam: mpv ?
[10:03] <Peyam> what?
[10:03] <Ben64> mpv. its a program. plays video, audio, whatever
[10:03] <no_sound> I have no sound. Ubuntu doesnt recognise my headphones when I plug them in the headphone jack. When I plug them into the microphone jack they show up, but I still get no sound. How do I fix this?
[10:03] <Peyam> is it the whole nae?
[10:04] <HappyHippie> no_sound how old is your motherboard?
[10:04] <Peyam> Ben64,  is it gtk? and support streamin?
[10:04] <Ben64> what streamin
[10:04] <Peyam> Ben64, like playing a url?
[10:04] <Ben64> yep
[10:05] <Peyam> its comand line plaer+
[10:05] <Ben64> you said lightweight
[10:06] <Peyam> it not opening
[10:07] <no_sound> HappyHippie: new, its a Z170XP-SLI from gigabyte
[10:07] <Ben64> Peyam: you need to give it something to play
[10:08] <HappyHippie> linux doesnt support some very modern (uncommon) hardware..
[10:08] <Peyam> yes. I would like a GUI variant
[10:08] <Ben64> Peyam: why? it works great on command line
[10:09] <Peyam> Ben64, my mobile is not recognised in ../media/
[10:09] <Peyam> I don't know why
[10:09] <Ben64> Peyam: what?
[10:09] <HappyHippie> no_sound does the sound work in windows?
[10:09] <Peyam> I have my mobile plugged in to the computer. I can see it in file manager but not as mounted in ../media/
[10:09] <guest-m1LnUb> my keyboard layout bugged ,how can i change it ? i use lubuntu
[10:10] <Ben64> Peyam: yeah because it's likely using mtp, its not really mounted
[10:10] <no_sound> HappyHippie: yes, it works in windows 10
[10:10] <Peyam> Ben64, this is showing mtp://[usb:002,013]/
[10:10] <k1l> Peyam: when nautilus mounts it with gvfs then its not in /media
[10:10] <Peyam> Ben64, so how do I address it?
[10:10] <Ben64> Peyam: copy the files to your computer first
[10:10] <HappyHippie> have you tried playing with audio properties?
[10:10] <Peyam> Ben64, that's why Im tring to avoid
[10:11] <Peyam> nooo. you are right
[10:11] <Peyam> i copy it instead
[10:11] <Ben64> Peyam: well you can't always get what you want. you can double click them and it might work in totem, but totem is an inferior media player
[10:11] <HappyHippie> have you tried playing with audio properties no_sound ?
[10:12] <HappyHippie> is it detected by ubuntu?
[10:12] <Ben64> no_sound: pastebin the output of "lspci | grep Audio"
[10:12] <HappyHippie> gtg bbl
[10:13] <no_sound> HappyHippie: Ben64 It looks like sound does work when I put it my headphones in the microphone jack
[10:14] <no_sound> since I'm not sure if I connected the jacks properly to the motherboard this is probably my own fault ;)
[10:14] <Ben64> plug it into the rear ports
[10:15] <no_sound> Ben64: I'd rather not, since that gives me a lot of static from the PSU
[10:15] <Ben64> uh, do it anyway
[10:16] <no_sound> why, my sound works now, and without static
[10:17] <Peyam> Ben64, parole works fine
[10:31] <NoCode> How do I start pulseaudio-module-jack in terminal?
[10:33] <footer> Hi all
[10:34] <footer> I have a write protected usb
[10:34] <footer> I tried to format it using fdisk
[10:34] <footer> but when I try to write the table it would throw Bad file descriptor
[10:35] <footer> when I do the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc it will say "No medium found"
[10:35] <footer> but when I insert the usb it will mount and show the content
[10:35] <footer> How do I wipe it?
[10:36] <ikonia> footer: you have to do it with the usb in
[10:36] <footer> ikonia: you mean with usb mounted?
[10:36] <ikonia> no, unmount the USB, but leave it plugged in
[10:37] <ikonia> although if you're going to wipe it, who cares if it's mounted or not
[10:37] <footer> ikonia: ofc i left it in :(
[10:37] <ikonia> footer: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[10:37] <footer> okay
[10:38] <footer> ikonia: https://bpaste.net/show/e05aee55905d
[10:38] <ikonia> footer: so "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc" doesn't work ?
[10:39] <footer> yes it doesn't
[10:39] <ikonia> footer: run it now
[10:39] <footer> kalu@dell:/media$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc dd: opening `/dev/sdc': Read-only file system
[10:39] <footer> when mounted
[10:39] <footer> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc dd: opening `/dev/sdc': No medium found
[10:39] <ikonia> footer: thats nothign to do with it being mounted
[10:39] <footer> when unmounted
[10:39] <footer> I see
[10:40] <ikonia> thats more likley the USB has hit it's maximum "write" count
[10:40] <ikonia> footer: lets do a test
[10:40] <footer> sure
[10:40] <ikonia> footer: where is it mounted ?
[10:40] <footer> ikonia: /media
[10:40] <footer>  /media/HP_something
[10:41] <ikonia> footer: ok, so "sudo umount /media/HP_something"
[10:41] <footer> okay
[10:41] <footer> done
[10:42] <ikonia> footer: now re-pastebin a fresh "sudo fdisk -l" please and stick "mount" on the end in the pastebin too, lets see what you see
[10:42] <footer> okay
[10:43] <footer> ikonia: https://bpaste.net/show/4486c19bda2e
[10:44] <ikonia> why has /dev/sdc gone
[10:44] <ikonia> what EXACTLY did you do to unmount it
[10:44] <footer> because we have unmounted it?
[10:44] <ikonia> unmounting it will not remove the device
[10:44] <ikonia> what EXACTLY did you do to unmount it
[10:45] <footer> oho sorry
[10:45] <ikonia> what EXACTLY did you do to unmount it
[10:45] <footer> I thought unmounting with nautilius was same as umount command
[10:45] <ikonia> no
[10:45] <ikonia> I gave you explicit instructions
[10:45] <ikonia> why did you not do exactly what I told you
[10:46] <footer> ikonia: https://bpaste.net/show/f5a5e662f3ea
[10:46] <footer> here
[10:46] <footer> sorry :(
[10:46] <ikonia> footer: is it mounted now ?
[10:47] <footer> ikonia: no
[10:48] <footer> I did umount /dev/sdc
[10:48] <ikonia> that won't unmount it
[10:48] <ikonia> the partition mounted is /dev/sdc1
[10:48] <footer> aha okay
[10:48] <footer> what umount does then?
[10:48] <ikonia> and again - I told you how to unmount it
[10:48] <ikonia> is there a reason I've told you how to do it, and you've done a different thing 2 times now
[10:48] <ikonia> it's getting a bit tedious to give you the info for you then to ignore it and do something different
[10:49] <footer> ikonia: I have done exactly what you have asked me this time
[10:49] <ikonia> footer: why did you not do it the first 2 times
[10:49] <footer> I did a sudo umount /dev/sdc; sudo fdisk -l; sudo mount
[10:49] <ikonia> it's getting tedious to waste my time
[10:49] <ikonia> thats not what I told you to do
[10:49] <footer> oho I didn't do it only once, just the first time
[10:50] <ikonia> sorry, I think it's pointless to continue this, you're not paying attention to what I tell you to do
[10:50] <footer> :(
[10:50] <footer> could you please give me commands again to type in my terminal?
[10:51] <footer> ikonia: ^
[10:52] <makk> footer, how about scroll the ircchat up and there you have your commands
[10:53] <NoCode> How do I start pulseaudio-module-jack in terminal?
[10:54] <footer> ikonia: makk https://bpaste.net/show/f8f287196fc6

[11:17] <ikonia> bottom line is "don't"
[11:18] <anti-fascist> :O\
[11:18] <ikonia> there are tools and apps that claim to do it
[11:18] <ikonia> but they break and work/don't work depending on a huge ammount of factors, most commonly IOS version, in my view it's not something you can depend on
[11:18] <pictuber> ikonia: q

[11:29] <remmona_dash> is there a 64bit liveusb with nvidia-binary shipped with
[11:31] <k1l_> remmona_dash: the live dvd should use the nvidia driver
[11:32] <remmona_dash> k1l_, non of canonical drivitives have nvidia binary blob installed
[11:32] <remmona_dash> all are noveau
[11:32] <remmona_dash> are you sure?
[11:32] <k1l_> you talk about the live system or after the install?
[11:33] <k1l_> after the install, no. you will need to manually choose to install the nvidia (which is pretty easy in system settings)
[11:33] <Aqui1a> !fstab
[11:34] <sienez> I'm trying to recover my encrypted home dir from a live cd using ecryptfs-recover-private. I have successfully provided my mount passphrase and mounted the private partition in tmp/ecryptfs.somestring. however when I try to cd into the directory, I get permission denied. can anyone help please?
[11:36] <Aqui1a> I've having trouble finding out what options I should use while adding my storage hard drive to fstab. Does anyone have any advice?
[11:38] <sienez> nvm, I had to change to root manually since sudo cd didn't work. I'm in the dir now :)
[11:39] <ikonia> sudo cd will never work
[11:39] <ikonia> as the sudo shell will exit the second it's changed directory
[11:40] <sienez> ikonia, thx, didn't know that
[11:42] <sienez> When I mount an encrypted home dir using ecryptfs, how can I view the contents in plaintext? all I see is some random strings
[11:43] <bekks> sienez: Then you didnt mount it correctly yet.
[11:43] <remmona_dash> I am looking for an 64 livecd with nvidia binary installed in it.
[11:44] <ikonia> sienez: if you've decryped it when you mount it, then it will just appear as a file system
[11:44] <sienez> bekks, what did I do wrong? ecryptfs asked me if I knew my LOGIN password, I entered no and instead I provided the mount password, after which I got a success message
[11:44] <ikonia> remmona_dash: ubuntu doesn't ship one
[11:44] <bekks> remmona_dash: You wont find one, because Nvidia prohibits to distribute the driver like that. Whats the actual issue behind your request?
[11:44] <bekks> sienez: There is no such thing as a "mount password".
[11:45] <sienez> bekks, I mean the passphrase used to encrypt it in the first place
[11:45] <remmona_dash> we have such things. ubuntu-variants and such.
[11:45] <sienez> ikonia, how do I decrypt it?
[11:45] <bekks> remmona_dash: Who is "we"?
[11:47] <remmona_dash> but I can't find one. google is not my friend in this case?
[11:47] <ikonia> remmona_dash: you're not allowed to distribute it
[11:47] <remmona_dash> bekks, it is he community sir;
[11:47] <ikonia> remmona_dash: thats why ubuntu doesn't have one
[11:47] <remmona_dash> ok
[11:47] <bekks> remmona_dash: the ubuntu community does not ship what you are searching for, because it would be illegal to do so.
[11:47] <SpaceAce> jhy987 is a bot
[11:47] <SpaceAce> getting messages about islam
[11:48] <ikonia> SpaceAce: thanks, I'll look at it now
[11:48] <sienez> Is there a command to mount and decrypt an encrypted home dir in 1 go? or do I have to mount it and then decrypt it seperately?
[11:48] <SpaceAce> thanks ikonia
[11:48] <ikonia> ara TTUU__ no bots please
[11:49] <remmona_dash> CANE is the one. but it is about >2GB of size.
[11:49] <remmona_dash> anyhow. I got the point
[11:49] <remmona_dash> I can't find one
[11:49] <ikonia> remmona_dash: because one doesn't exist, as you've been told in #ubuntu #fedora ##linux
[11:50] <bekks> sienez: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/ecryptfs.html
[11:51] <remmona_dash> ikonia, well no blame for one who is in search of something. is it?
[11:51] <bekks> remmona_dash: And in case you are talking about the CAINE livecd - it is totally unrelated to Ubuntu.
[11:52] <bekks> remmona_dash: you have been told the SAME answer for three times. It will not change upon further requests.
[11:52] <ikonia> remmona_dash: when you keep being told "one doesn't exist" and ignoring it, yes, you can be blamed for not listening

[12:13] <inTheRye> nvidia proprietary
[12:13] <alex_> hi there
[12:15] <sienez> I want to recover my decrypted home. I followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory using both the 'automatic way' as well as the 'manual way' and in both cases I can mount the dir but it remains encrypted.
[12:15] <lotuspsychje> inTheRye: can you check with version exactly and graphics card chipset?
[12:15] <trytry> ubottu: thanks
[12:16] <trytry> ahhh :-)
[12:16] <sienez> how do I mount a device decrypted?
[12:16] <sienez> from live cd
[12:19] <ioria> sienez, i can tell how i do it : udisksctl unlock -b 7dev/sdaX       udisks mount -b /dev/mapper/(u)lubuntu--vg-root   then follow this http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/

[12:21] <inTheRye> lotuspsychje: "Additional Drivers" dialog says: GT218M (GeForce G210M) with driver 340.96 from nvidia-340 (tested). I have packages nvidia-340 and nvidia-331 with the same version number installed, though.
[12:22] <lotuspsychje> inTheRye: have you tried other driver versions switch?
[12:24] <unknown1337> from tlp's configuration file: "You *must* disable your distribution's governor settings or conflicts will occur". How can I do this?
[12:24] <sienez> ioria, thx I will try that! I already did the second part from the howtogeek guide but I missed the first part. hopefully that works!
[12:25] <inTheRye> lotuspsychje: no, not yet. I used it because of the hybrid graphic card switching. but i could live without that. any recommendations what to try, nvidia legacy or nouveau?
[12:25] <ioria> sienez, ok
[12:26] <BluesKaj> inTheRye:  I have the same gpu and the 340 driver works well here , and it should work with mvidia-prime for hyprid set ups

[12:28] <inTheRye> BluesKaj: works for me well, too. but only that occassional sluggishness. not sure when it started, maybe when I installed the HWE ...
[12:32] <BluesKaj> inTheRye:  dunno never used HWE
[12:39] <RDX400> need some help with a cp command
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> RDX400  let's hear it, in one line
[12:40] <RDX400> i want to cp file A.. - I.. to another drive as a backup
[12:41] <MonkeyDust> RDX400  use rsync, instead of cp

[12:52] <creep> 12.04
[12:52] <creep> I almost tried it with all versions.
[12:53] <creep> Also tried with win 7/Xp
[12:53] <bekks> Which is not helpful.
[12:53] <bekks> You have computer A, trying to connect to computer B. Which Ubuntu is running on A and B?
[12:55] <inTheRye> BluesKaj: i was mistaken. i don't have HWE on that laptop... i guess the nvidia-331 package is not needed when i have the nvidia-340
[12:58] <bekks> creep: No answer?
[13:01] <inTheRye> I will try a little bit with the drivers. Thanks for your help lotuspsychje and BluesKaj!

[14:03] <Borg__> roflcopters
[14:04] <Borg__> nice try
[14:04] <Borg__> ban me for free speech? what kind of jerk are you?
[14:04] <Borg__> how intolerant are you for free speech?
[14:04] <Borg__> Does free speech bother you?
[14:04] <somsip> !guidelines | Borg__
[14:04] <Borg__> What's the problem?
[14:05] <Borg__> Please, do identify the exact problem.
[14:05] <MonkeyDust> Borg__  this is the ubuntu support channel, go elsewhere for 'free speech'
[14:05] <Borg__> I expressed an opinion. is that so wrong?
[14:05] <Borg__> I typed some text. is that so wrong?
[14:05] <MonkeyDust> Borg__  no opinions here, only support
[14:06] <Borg__> So I am supporting.
[14:06] <Borg__> I idle here all the time.
[14:06] <cfhowlett> Borg__, ask your ubuntu questions or play somewhere else
[14:06] <Borg__> I typed a > sign. is that a problem?
[14:06] <demetan> ioria ; thank's for the link
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> Borg__  you're in the wrong channel for what you want
[14:06] <Borg__> I don't want anything though. I simply typed some text.
[14:06] <Borg__> is that a problem?
[14:06] <MonkeyDust> Borg__  stop
[14:06] <Borg__> No, you stop.
[14:07] <Borg__> Wrongful banning is lame.
[14:07] <somsip> Borg__: https://xkcd.com/1357/
[14:07] <Borg__> No. I did nothing wrong.
[14:07] <Borg__> Wrongful immature ban.
[14:07] <cfhowlett> somsip, +1
[14:08] <Borg__> See, if you actually responded kindly, I would have something interesting to say, but no, you ban.
[14:08] <Borg__> Inquisitiveness would ask why I did that. ;
[14:08] <Borg__> Are you curious why?
[14:09] <keli> can i get a hel p with xchat on ubuntu here
[14:09] <Borg__> sure, if my ban is lifted I'd be glad to help.
[14:09] <keli> lol
[14:09] <Borg__> My irresponsible ban.
[14:09] <Borg__> Immature ban.
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> Borg__  what's your technical ubuntu question?
[14:10] <BluesKaj> keli:  xchat is no longer supported. it's old, Use hexchat instead
[14:10] <Borg__> MonkeyDust, I did not have a question. I was invoking conversation leading to a subject
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> Borg__  not in this channel
[14:10] <cfhowlett> keli, nicest thing about hexchat ... instant ignore works
[14:11] <keli> okay i want to know how to set up my xchat to automatically  login to the chanels i once join
[14:11] <Borg__> MonkeyDust, oh? it was to do with Ubuntu. what's the problem?
[14:11] <Borg__> Not in this channel. Are you Nazi fascist?
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> Borg__  this is a help channel, not a discussion channel
[14:11] <BluesKaj> Borg__:  do you have a support question?  I can talk about a variety of subjects on other channels and there is zero problem.
[14:12] <Borg__> Just curious...
[14:12] <keli> alright let me check that hexchat out
[14:13] <Borg__> hexchat is pretty win keli.
[14:13] <Borg__> You'll like it. Supports perl and python scripting.
[14:13] <bgardner> somsip +1
[14:13] <Borg__> so let me ask again, why are you people so tight?
[14:13] <Borg__> What's the deal?
[14:13] <Borg__> Is it just the Ubuntu community or what?
[14:14] <guest> Borg__: there's general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:14] <BluesKaj> Borg__: go to #ubuntu-offtopic to chit chat
[14:15] <moonman> this channel is gay
[14:16] <cfhowlett> moonman, your are welcomed in my /ignore list
[14:16] <Borg__> ok well unban me
[14:16] <Borg__> then I'll gladly oblige
[14:17] <Borg__> considering you banned me for no fkn reason at all
[14:17] <bgardner> Borg__: You are kind of reinforcing the reasons for getting banned in the first place...
[14:17] <moonman> if you weren't so gay you wouldn't be banned

[14:37] <ZadreK> upgrade?
[14:37] <valtrip> to 15.10 ,, sure thats gonna resolve the prob
[14:37] <ZadreK> Why not.
[14:41] <valtrip> Zadrek ,,gonna do,  |   i am dual booting ,, sometimes when i boot win10 and use my ntfs drives and then boot ubuntu , the ntfs-drive  , shows prob in mounting ,, should i clean install 15.10 , removing win10?????
[14:41] <ZadreK> Well, I had problems too with ubuntu 12.04 and W7.
[14:42] <codencrazy> i'm frequently getting a maximum number of x clients error and stuff refuses to start until I kill a bunch of processes, is there a good way to fix that? on ubuntu 15.04, unity desktop
[14:42] <valtrip> so what u did
[14:42] <ZadreK> The best solution I find was to upgrade to 15.10 .
[14:43] <valtrip> still dual-booting ?
[14:43] <ZadreK> No it's complicated.
[14:43] <ZadreK> Only U 15.10

[15:23] <sisve> I've got a several virtual servers on a public network, and would like to limit these to only be able to communicate with each other. I often add/remove servers and I'm too lazy to iterate through all machines to rebuild an iptables script to limit access using src/dest ips. Is there an easy way to allowing servers to communicate with each other without needing to reconfigure existing servers when new are added?
[15:24] <cfhowlett> sisve, better to ask #ubuntu-server
[15:24] <Hakon> are they on a common subnet?
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> sisve  if you work with virtual machine networks alot, consider using vagrant
[15:26] <sisve> Hakon: I'm not sure what you would consider a "common subnet". This is a "private network" in our hosting, and it's "private" as in only within that datacenter, but all customers share the same "private network".
[15:26] <sisve> So it's not really that private...
[15:26] <sisve> cfhowlett: I'll do that.
[15:26] <Hakon> sisve: so you can't do the limiting with a subnet mask?
[15:27] <sisve> Hakon: Correct, ip addresses are spread out over a large subnet and mixed with other customers addresses.

[15:46] <dankan> hi , is ctrl+shift+esc a restricted shortcut on ubuntu 14.04? I wanted to put xkill on it (using keyboard settings -> shortcuts) but it doesn't work, works for other combo though.
[15:46] <regedit> i'm in a bit of a possibly scary situation with my OS ATM, if you happen to be in #linux please see my question there
[15:46] <regedit> for those not in #linux i'll repost:
[15:46] <regedit> i was using cfdisk to delete some Windows partitions, but i also hit the "Sort Partitions" button (why??...) now my linux partitions sdb2 (EFI) sdb5 (Kubuntu) and sdb6 (Swap) became sdb1 sdb2 sdb3
[15:46] <regedit>  is this terrible? or can the currently running OS tolerate these partition number changes?
[15:47] <regedit> what about grub & such, will they magically know to work with the new partition numbers instead of the old ones?
[15:47] <bekks> regedit: Your system may be affected and grub will not magically fix its setup.
[15:47] <regedit> bekks: is there an easy way to put things back to the partition numbers they used to be?
[15:48] <bekks> regedit: No.
[15:48] <nenis43> Currently I'm using 64 bit Ubuntu MATE. However, I want to DL Xubuntu.
[15:48] <dankan> regedit: update the fstab and update grub and all should be fine i think
[15:48] <regedit> schiddt
[15:48] <nenis43> When I go to the DL page I see 64 bit is for AMD chips and 32 bit is for Intel chips.
[15:48] <nenis43> I have an Intel chip but want 64 bit. What to do?
[15:49] <cfhowlett> nenis43, common misunderstanding.  use the 64 bit amd - works fine with intel 64
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> nenis43  it's just a name, i have ubuntu 64bit on intel too
[15:49] <nenis43> why then do they call it AMD?
[15:49] <regedit> dankan: ok, how can i know for sure? i want to be sure before i reboot...
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> nenis43  it's a left-over from the past
[15:49] <cfhowlett> nenis43, historical reasons.  don't sweat it
[15:49] <nenis43> OK. I'm dling the 64 bit. But notice this:
[15:49] <nenis43> "For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors. Choose this if you are at all unsure"
[15:50] <anonyuser> It must be a common question but... which one? http://imgur.com/SLXX6vp
[15:50] <nenis43> They should fix this because it's misleading users into getting the 32 bit.
[15:50] <nenis43> That's what it says next to the 32-bit image.
[15:50] <HATE_SPEECH> omg i hate ubuntu
[15:50] <cfhowlett> nenis43, 32 bit will be not more after next version
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> HATE_SPEECH  thank you for sharing your emotions, but stop now
[15:52] <ioria> dankan, yep, because when you press ESC it changes to Disable, i think
[15:52] <nenis43> By the way, I downloaded an ISO of Linux Mint and then made a bootable USB using Startup Disk Creator. But unlike the USB stick I got from OS Disc for Ubuntu MATE, the USB I made of Linux Mint wouldn't boot, wouldn't install. Why would that be?
[15:52] <MonkeyDust> nenis43  mibnt is different distro, ask the mint guys
[15:52] <nenis43> I made this USB stick within Ubuntu MATE.
[15:52] <regedit> dankan: (i responded in PM) if you are new to IRC i have a hard time trusting your linux knowledge :D
[15:52] <cfhowlett> nenis43, ask mint.  not an ubuntu issue
[15:53] <nenis43> It's a ubuntu issue because I made the USB in Ubuntu.
[15:53] <nenis43> cfhowlett, Also, Mint is just another flavor of Ubuntu.
[15:53] <cfhowlett> nenis43, it is NOT ubuntu hbowever.
[15:53] <cfhowlett> !flavors | nenis43
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> nenis43  like ubuntu is a dbian flavor, you mean?
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> debian*
[15:54] <wrksx> lol
[15:54] <nenis43> Honestly, there's very little difference between Mint and Ubuntu. And the fact remains that I made the USB stick using Disk Creator IN Ubuntu.
[15:55] <cfhowlett> nenis43, see mint's directions for creating a stick.  they do NOT say "use ubuntu" and this is not an ubuntu issue.
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> nenis43  not that discussion again
[15:56] <nenis43> So I can make a bootable USB for Xubuntu from Ubuntu MATE but not for Linux Mint?
[15:56] <nenis43> So if I do the same steps for Xubuntu the bootable USB should work?
[15:56] <dankan> regedit: well do what you will , but read this ;p https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoveMountpointHowto
[15:57] <cfhowlett> nenis43, see the list of flavors -- those are officially supported buntus and yes, you can create other ubuntus from any official ubuntu flavor
[15:57] <regedit> my fstab doesnt seem to mention partitions (except in comments) but rather UUIDs, is that helpful?
[15:57] <regedit> dankan ^
[15:57] <nenis43> cfhowlett, I'm going to do the same thing I did to try to make the bootable Mint USB. You think the same steps should work? I just DL'd the ISO for Xubuntu.
[15:58] <cfhowlett> !mint | nenis43, I don't speak mint nor use it.
[15:58] <nenis43> Now I'm erasing my USB drive using Startup Disk Creator. Then I am telling it to make it a bootable image.
[15:58] <dankan> regedit: it uses uuid by default in ubuntu,  you can use gnome-disk-tool or "disks" to check if uuid is right
[15:58] <nenis43> cfhowlett, I'm trying to make a XUBUNTU boot disk.
[15:58] <cfhowlett> nenis43, but I use the ubuntu startup disk creator all the time and it has never failed with any of the *buntus
[15:59] <nenis43> cfhowlett, What benefits shall I notice when using Xubuntu vs Ubuntu MATE?
[15:59] <cfhowlett> nenis43, different DE and different default apps.
[15:59] <dankan> regedit: if fstab is setup right , and grub sees the system , it should boot imo but im no wizard
[16:01] <nenis43> cfhowlett, I heard that Ubuntu really only cares about Unity. Does Ubuntu receive much more resources and care than the other flavors?
[16:02] <TheEagerPadawan> how do i clear my dns cache?
[16:02] <cfhowlett> nenis43, they are all buntus but I think we can safely consider ubuntu/unity the flagship version ... a qualified "yes" to your question.
[16:04] <regedit> (whoops disconnected)
[16:04] <nenis43> cfhowlett, What is the advantage of 64-bit Ubuntu over 32-bit? They say 32 is better for older, slower machines.
[16:04] <blackbeard> the key difference is it's got half as many bits
[16:05] <cfhowlett> nenis43, true.  but then 32 bit machines are also going the way of the dodo.  if your machine is 64 bit capable, use 64 bit.
[16:05] <nenis43> What advantages shall I notice with the 64 bit?
[16:05] <TheEagerPadawan> you can use more then 4GB of ram for starters
[16:05] <ikonia> nenis43: what is the spec of your machine ?
[16:05] <regedit> if the partition numbers of my system have been changed, will EFI / grub / fstab find everything upon reboot (my fstab uses UUIDs) ?
[16:06] <nenis43> 4GB ram and 3805U Pentium
[16:06] <ikonia> nenis43: then you're not going to see anything visibly different either way
[16:06] <regedit> also, how is my system continuing to function right now if the system & swap partitions have changed numbers ??
[16:06] <nenis43> ikonia, But if I have 8GB of ram then only 4 is recognized by 32 bit Ubuntu?
[16:06] <regedit> i have not unmounted/mounted anything
[16:06] <ikonia> nenis43: correct
[16:06] <dankan> regedit: it uses UUID , if it didnt change (check them with "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid" ) then why not
[16:08] <regedit> dankan: ok... sounds like there's hope. do i need to update-grub? or might that actually be destructive at this point
[16:08] <cfhowlett> !64bit | nenis43
[16:09] <dankan> regedit: back up your old grub config and update, it may be destructive only to your old config ;D
[16:09] <nenis43> I can tell already I don't like Xubuntu because the developers mislead people into thinking they should DL the 32-bit version. But if I did that and had 8GB of ram, then I would be running with only 4GB.
[16:09] <regedit> ok thanks dankan
[16:09] <ikonia> nenis43: nope
[16:09] <regedit> still curious about the IRC thing tho :)
[16:10] <nenis43> ikonia, You said if I use the 32-bit version only up to 4GB of ram is recognized.
[16:10] <ikonia> nenis43: where are the developer missleading you
[16:10] <nenis43> ikonia, Let me show you
[16:10] <nenis43> ikonia, http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/xubuntu-releases/15.10/release/
[16:11] <nenis43> Read what it says.
[16:11] <ikonia> nenis43: "Choose this if you are at all unsure"
[16:11] <anonyuser> http://pastebin.com/sY4hNqQh fglrx failure at last paragraph?
[16:11] <nenis43> ikonia, yes. choose the 32-bit if at all unsure.
[16:11] <ikonia> correct
[16:11] <ikonia> that is good advice, in in doubt, be safe
[16:12] <cfhowlett> nenis43, nothing misleading at all
[16:12] <nenis43> ikonia, But most people these days have more than 4GB of ram
[16:12] <ikonia> nenis43: no they don't and as you've seen "in unsure"
[16:12] <nenis43> then they use the 32-bit version and wonder why their ram isn't being recognized.
[16:12] <ikonia> unsure
[16:12] <regedit> dankan: see altho the partition number changes have been written to disk, i think the yet-running "online" system is currently still going with the anterior fstab mounts, so will update-grub not mess up as a result?
[16:12] <ikonia> no they won't
[16:12] <ikonia> nenis43: how about you worry about yourself
[16:13] <nenis43> ikonia, I almost DL'd that version myself.
[16:13] <ikonia> nenis43: which is fine
[16:13] <ikonia> nenis43: you only have 4 gig
[16:13] <Guest37117> hi guys, is there a ppa for firefox?
[16:13] <cfhowlett> nenis43, wait your complaining about what you ALMOST did?  lame.
[16:13] <nenis43> ikonia, I have another 12GB sitting in packages that I may wish to install.
[16:13] <nenis43> then I would be wondering why my ram is not posting.
[16:13] <ikonia> nenis43: no you wouldn't
[16:13] <ikonia> as if you know how to query your ram you would know if your machine is 64bit
[16:14] <ikonia> so lets stop this pointless dicussion, the wording is there as a fail safe for people who don't know and don't know how to find out
[16:14] <nenis43> ikonia, I know my machine is 64-bit, but that there has me thinking the 64-bit is for AMD chips.
[16:14] <nenis43> ikonia, Why confuse the end user like that?
[16:14] <ikonia> nenis43: then you are unsure
[16:14] <ikonia> and should have downloaded the 32bit version for not being sure
[16:14] <ikonia> nenis43: talk to intel, they confused the user like that by using an instruction set called amd64
[16:14] <nenis43> ikonia, then my machine would not recognize the ram I install when I upgrade to 8GB..
[16:14] <ikonia> nenis43: correct,
[16:15] <nenis43> ikonia, That's why I said I already don't like Xubuntu and I haven't even loaded it..
[16:15] <nenis43> They are already confusing me and limiting my experience.
[16:15] <ikonia> nenis43: and if you read the page you're quoting, you'd see it tells you to use the 64bit amd version if you have intel based chipset
[16:15] <dankan> regedit: well if fstab says that for example your root (/) partition is on "UUID=9335dfb5-723d-4b85-99c3-5501eb84994f" (that one is mine) and its the same uuid it shows you in for example grub , it has no reason to not work , if you are not sure just rewrite it for your new disk labels
[16:15] <ikonia> nenis43: so you are really your own problem for not reading the amd64 wording as well as you did the 32bit one
[16:16] <dankan> regedit: not grub . gparted*;p
[16:16] <nenis43> "Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the i386 images instead."
[16:16] <OerHeks> nenis43, so our development says 32 bit is a safe version, that works on every machine, didn't it work on yours ?
[16:16] <nenis43> How would I know my Pentium processor is supported?
[16:16] <ikonia> nenis43: correct
[16:16] <ikonia> nenis43: em64, core 2, xeon,
[16:16] <ikonia> nenis43: the correct wording,
[16:16] <nenis43> It's not one of one.
[16:16] <ikonia> and it says "eg:" for example
[16:16] <nenis43> It's not one of those.
[16:16] <ikonia> nenis43: it is,
[16:17] <ikonia> nenis43: lets stop this now, you are trying to cause a problem
[16:17] <nenis43> Anyway, I've decided to overlook Xubuntu.
[16:17] <nenis43> I don't need the devs trying to make things difficult on the end user.
[16:17] <ikonia> you didn't get the wrong version, no problem, you can use whatever version you want
[16:17] <ikonia> ok, good, use whatever works well for you
[16:22] <dankan> regedit: if you have an live usb/cd you can always mess around, especially if you have a separete root and home partition
[16:26] <regedit> ok phew rebooted successfully
[16:26] <dankan> regedit: well done :P
[16:26] <regedit> didnt do anything really in the end
[16:27] <regedit> seems like everything was going by UUID, and they didnt change
[16:27] <Daekdroom> ... Doesn't Ubuntu use a PAE kernel these days, meaning even 32-bit systems can address over 4GB RAM (with a few exceptions, I think Pentium M, which is the most recent 32-bit processor to not support PAE)
[16:28] <OerHeks> Daekdroom, yes, it does
[16:28] <Daekdroom> OerHeks, which sort of makes the whole discussion above moot.
[16:29] <akik> the limit with 32-bit systems was with the process size. i dunno what has changed
[16:29] <ikonia> still there
[16:30] <regedit> the question now is; how can i 1) move the EFI back to the start of the drive 2) reclaim the unused space from the windows partition to the ubuntu OS 3) swap is currently at the very end of the drive, should it stay there?
[16:30] <OerHeks> Daekdroom, i agree with 'our developers' that the 32 bit should run without issues.. except: non-PAE processors might have issues running the 32 bit version.
[16:30] <BluesKaj> regedit:  don't be too concerned about automatic /dev/sdX changes when removing partitions, I've never had any boot problems after removing one. Just make sure you have 2 grubs installed, one for each OS
[16:30] <BluesKaj> or one for each OS
[16:31] <dankan> regedit: if it doesnt trigger your OCD the partitions can be in whatever order on the disk
[16:31] <regedit> heh
[16:32] <regedit> but well the whole idea here is i'm removing windows
[16:32] <regedit> and would like to reclaim the space for ubuntu
[16:33] <regedit> and EFI is moved into the drive a bit (windows needed some preliminary partition 0 which is now gone) OCD dictates i should move the EFI to the start of the drive
[16:33] <dankan> regedit: you can move/resize partitions in gparted but it takes time
[16:33] <regedit> this is an SSD here
[16:34] <regedit> so hopefully not too much time i guess
[16:34] <regedit> KDE Partition manager is just as good?
[16:35] <razvan> Hi guys.. asking this question again, hoping for better luck this time! :) Do you know if there is any way to use bcrypt+SHA256 as hashing algorithm? Using 14.04, I installed and configured libpam_unix2, and am now using bcrypt. Is there any way to have bcrypt+sha256 instead?
[16:35] <dankan> regedit: so it sucks up your write cycles xD you can move efi to the beggining of the disk ,and move ubuntu to the empty space and resize it over it
[16:35] <Guest63840> #ubuntu
[16:35] <regedit> oh hm seems i might nont be able to do it while system is running, will have to use Live CD i guess
[16:35] <regedit> hello Guest63840 and welcome to the #ubuntu chatroom!
[16:36] <BluesKaj> regedit: the kde partition editor mucked up my partitions once by crashing in the middle of changes, install gparted it's much better
[16:36] <regedit> hm
[16:36] <regedit> ok
[16:36] <ikonia> razvan: wouldn't you have to rebuild brycpt to be aware of a library that can generate that hash ? is bycrypt even supported with sha256 ?
[16:36] <regedit> ok then rebooting to live image, thanks guys
[16:36] <dankan> regedit: i honestly dont think there is that much difference between partition programs but gparted has good rep for what it does
[16:38] <BluesKaj> dankan:  have you tried kpartitione editor , even as a kde user I wouldn't recommend it
[16:39] <razvan> ikonia: I don't think so.. It's simply a matter of running the password through SHA256, and then through bcrypt. It should be transparent to bcrypt. It's basically bcrypt(SHA256(password)) -- see here for a Python implementation which also touches upon why this is a good idea (password truncation): https://pythonhosted.org/passlib/lib/passlib.hash.bcrypt_sha256.html
[16:40] <dankan> BluesKaj: dont get me started on kde , i loved it in 3.X and 4.X but the unstability is too much for me
[16:40] <razvan> ikonia: my "I don't think so" statement refers to your first question, not the second :) Sorry, I'm tired
[16:41] <BluesKaj> dankan:  I love kde, but like all other DEs it's not perfect
[16:42] <BluesKaj> dankan: just closer to perfect than most ;-)
[16:43] <dankan> BluesKaj: I mean , i love KDE because its customizable and since gnome 3 , unity or others are out its pretty light and works smoothly,  but i cant count the times i installed kubuntu and had kde just break after updates on clean install ;p
[16:44] <BluesKaj> dankan:  do you have exotic HW ?
[16:45] <dankan> BluesKaj: but KDE seems the only distro focused on being a desktop rather than tablet/pc hybrid and i always liked that. also the multiple, or different style clocks.
[16:46] <BluesKaj> dankan: I like the Virtual Desktop/pager and activities options
[16:46] <dankan> BluesKaj: nowdays not really ,i5 4760 + gtx 760 , most exotic thing i have is a wacom tablet, old pc was pretty generic too
[16:47]  * BluesKaj nods
[16:49] <mikky> hi, what can cause /etc/hosts to be ignored by pretty much everything? I have custom entries in there but no application seems to be getting them.
[16:54] <razvan> mikky: could be dnsmasq related. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/347152/why-is-the-etc-hosts-file-not-working for details..
[16:54] <ikonia> what has the host file got to do with anything ?
[16:55] <ikonia> mikky: ping when of your entries in the host file, does it respond to the correct ip address
[16:55] <ikonia> (doesn't matter if ping returns or not)
[16:59] <daniele_> 	/msg Amici|SeRiE-TV|03 xdcc send #55
[17:00] <mikky> yay, thanks, ping works just as expected but Firefox doesn't. It's not a dnsmasq thing though.
[17:00] <k1l_> !warez | daniele_
[17:00]  * mikky forgot that host&friends don't play well with /etc/hosts
[17:01] <fausto> hello there, does anybody have any experience with AMD surround view dual monitors on ubuntu? i'm getting a nasty mouse flicker
[17:04] <dankan> fausto: are they both connected with the same port? i mean dvi-d or hdmi or something?
[17:05] <fausto> my hd6870 is connected to the main monitor through a dual link DVI and my second monitor is connected to the integrated gpu (hd4250) through VGA
[17:06] <fausto> i get a mouse flicker on all desktop environments, but especially unity, where the cursor almost disappears permanently
[17:07] <khru> Toph have you been in a website with a lot javascript?
[17:07] <yms> join #emaccs
[17:07] <dankan> fausto: i cant help you since i only have intel/nvidia , mouse flicker is a thing on amd, you use the binary amd drivers or open source ones?
[17:08] <Toph> khru,,, nope
[17:08] <fausto> i've tried both on most DEs, only the open source drivers detect my second monitor, fglrx apparently doesn't work well with surroundview
[17:08] <fausto> and there's no mouse flicker if the second monitor isn't connected
[17:09] <kahina> ok
[17:09] <dankan> fausto: does the cursor flicker just on the main display or both?
[17:10] <fausto> only on the main display and interestingly enough, only in a limited area of the screen
[17:11] <daftykins> fausto: i'm not even surprised at issues with those two used at once
[17:12] <fausto> i can live with it on KDE - kubuntu. but anything else and it's just madness :D well thanks for the help anyway
[17:12] <TJ-> fausto: there are issues when the 2 GPUs are not well-matched in performance terms
[17:13] <TJ-> fausto: also, to avoid confusion, the AMD term for it is "Eyefinity"
[17:13] <dankan> fausto: maybe try disabling vsync , there are a lot of threads about the problem you are having on ask.ubuntu
[17:13] <fausto> i have posted my own question there considering all the other answers don't solve my problem
[17:14] <fausto> and @TJ- i see, but isn't that the point of using eyefinity? using your typically weaker integrated GPU for a second monitor
[17:14] <dankan> fausto: you may be just out of luck , i wanted to use intel igpu + my nvidia gpu and it wasnt working too , also vsync didnt work when using vga+dvi-d
[17:14] <TJ-> fausto: it *sounds* rather like the problems we used to have with multiple GPUs where the cursor is no lnger renderered by the hardware (hardware cursor) and is software rendered, and suffers from frame-sync glitches.
[17:15] <fausto> i see. i really have to try screen recording to see what happens to my cursor :D
[17:16] <dankan> fausto: from what i've seen it will be visible on the recording too ;p
[17:17] <fausto> i'm gonna go test it out. thanks for the help!
[17:18] <TJ-> fausto: 'Eyefinity' is about multi-display single-GPU, rather than multi-GPU, according to AMD anyhow
[17:20] <fausto> i see. my BIOS configuration is called "surround view" though, and it's meant to activate both igpu and whatever else you have simultaneously
[17:21] <zed_> i want to change SDDM how to change it
[17:23] <TJ-> fausto: right, but the iGPU and the discrete GPU have their own video RAM and separate framebuffers. This is why optimus low/high power GPU technology has been so problematic - getting them to work as a pseudo single hybrid GPU is a very challenging engineering task
[17:24] <fausto> i see. i've installed windows 8.1, windows 10, osx yosemite and osx mavericks on this computer but only the open source linux drivers give me both my displays
[17:24] <fausto> so props to whoever the hell did this, what a beast
[17:24] <emilien> hi
[17:25] <TJ-> fausto: there are a lot of AMD/fglxr issues to the point when we hear 'fglxr' some of us hide :s
[17:26]  * daftykins does
[17:26] <daftykins> :D
[17:26] <fausto> yeah really not the best piece of software
[17:27] <TJ-> fausto: but back to your actual issue (now you have some background!). As I said, if the area around the cursor flickers that strongly suggests the driver is using software rendering for that damaged area, rather than hardware based, and its catching the v-sync refresh
[17:28] <fausto> so i could try disabling it
[17:28] <TJ-> fausto: technically, as the mouse pointer moves the area it passes over is 'damaged' and needs to be redrawn. It sounds like you're seeing that happen. So as someone else mentioned, explore changing the settings for the v-sync refresh, and also see if there's a triple-buffering option you can enabled for that GPU
[17:29] <fausto> roger roger
[17:30] <dankan> fausto: dont worry, if u had nvidia you would swear on vsync even on a single monitor setup :D
[17:30] <TJ-> fausto: or enabling it if it is currently disabled. In theory, 'enabled' is the preferred setting. But even in that state we don't really know if the GPU is actually implementing that setting - with dual GPUs with a multi-monitors for a single display surface hardware cursors on independent GPUs can be a hard problem to solve.
[17:31] <fausto> i'm supposed to find the appropriate config files in my drivers right?
[17:31] <TJ-> I've used 3 (nvidia) GPUs with 6 monitors for some time, with multiple X screens, without issue for a long time. BUt I have those multiple X screens rather than trying to make 1 single 'desktop' because of the compromises that requirement would cause.
[17:32] <TJ-> fausto: I'd expect the (catalyst) control panel to have those. Not sure about the radeon (open source) driver since I think it relies only on xrandr
[17:32] <fausto> i would gladly use the hdmi port on my hd6870 or the spare DVI-D port but my monitors only take VGA
[17:33] <fausto> ahhhhh right i have to create a new mode and apply it, then change the vsync line i guess
[17:33] <nolsen> Which works better? fglrx(-updates)? or xserver-xorg-video-ati?
[17:33] <TJ-> fausto: do you have a need to spread the desktop over all monitors, as opposed to just being able to use both monitors, but as semi-independent displays?
[17:33] <fausto> well it depends on what you want it for i guess, but the OSS drivers are more than ok
[17:34] <TJ-> fausto: right; just that if semi-independent is enough for your use-case, it might save some hair-pulling :)
[17:34] <keli> whats wrong with the ubuntu off-topic channel ?
[17:34] <nolsen> fausto: Does the xorg one have 3d acceleration?
[17:34] <keli> cant access it
[17:34] <fausto> i want to use the monitors independently, as in... one for coding and the other one for a browser with the website i'm developing open
[17:35] <tambu> With apt-get is there anyway to get better formatted output? Not trying to bash just curious. Read about aptitude, but that seems to have gone away, not sure if it's output is more user-friendly.
[17:35] <theTroy> I am running a sudo command on rc.local which has >> output to a file. Unfortunately the file does not contain any output. When I run the program in terminal I can see the output written
[17:37] <Naughx> Talking about weird graphical glitches... I'm having this http://i.imgur.com/0I0Cpqe.png (It doesn't occur neither with Windows nor Debian Jessie)
[17:37] <TJ-> fausto: right, that's my use-case. So I have 4 X screens (X screens are semi-independent desktops where the applications on 1 screen cannot move over to another screen). 2 of my X screens have 2 monitors each, and then there's 2 with 1 monitor each. I use them to logically separate different activities, and to protect me from accidentally sending the wrong commands to remote SSH sessions
[17:38] <TJ-> Naughx: does that only happen in the browser content-area, or with other applications too?
[17:38] <Naughx> everywhere
[17:38] <fausto> nice, i don't really understand the difference though, how do you set up independent desktops?
