[00:01] <Elion> hi, i just installed an ubuntu 15.04 with this setup : /boot on local sda drive, / on distant iscsi drive, how can i get this to boot ?
[00:01] <Bashing-om> musclez: See: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+question/125380 . But I do have reservations as we do not have a kernel installed .
[00:02] <Elion> (i mean how to make grub mount the iscsi on boot)
[00:02] <ikonia> musclez: is there a reason you are ignoring the quick/easy solution here ?
[00:03] <beardman> did you have grub installation errors running the setup?
[00:04] <Elion> beardman: not at all, and grub is loading fine, but it doesn't load the kernel and give me a prompt with initram
[00:05] <allizom> also how is it that I can run startx from a tty and get a full-resolution desktop, only I can't see the top bar and the dash? Is that consistent with a video drivers issue?
[00:06] <Elion> beardman: when i boot, i get : gave up waiting for root device
[00:11] <Bashing-om> musclez: A hint of what is going on ' cat /etc/group | grep amavis ' Bet amavis is not in the group .
[00:15] <michael_p> hi
[00:17] <michael_p> is there away to restore my main menu
[00:19] <bazhang> michael_p, mintmenu?
[00:19] <michael_p> yeah in xubuntu
[00:19] <michael_p> the application menu
[00:19] <bazhang> michael_p, you mean reset the panels?
[00:20] <michael_p> yep back to default
[00:21] <bazhang> Did your panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel  michael_p
[00:21] <michael_p> i deleted the app menu
[00:21] <michael_p> by mistake
[00:22] <michael_p> um start menu
[00:22] <xangua> right click, add, whisker menu
[00:24] <michael_p> great thanks
[00:28] <Elion> hi, i just installed an ubuntu 15.04 with this setup : /boot on local sda drive, / on distant iscsi drive, when i try to boot grub doesn t mount the iscsi drive so i get an error on boot : gave up waiting for root device
[00:29] <Elion> how can i make grub mount the iscsi disk first ?
[00:30] <mgolisch> did you add the needed ISCSI vars to the kernel cmdline?
[00:39] <Elion> mgolisch: can you give me those ?
[00:40] <michael_p> i suppose 15:10 is not far away and will they start working on 16
[00:41] <bnrf> michael_p: The model is online if you want to be accurate
[00:43] <testnick123> hey. I have a question. Did debian altered the tcp iip stack of linux?
[00:43] <testnick123> with new releases
[00:44] <xangua> ask #debian ¿
[00:45] <west536457640> evening all, you know when your screen goes dark after a period of inactivity (cos of power management or screensaver or whatever causes it)
[00:46] <west536457640> is there a log file somewhere that records which program/setting/daemon or whatever triggered it
[00:47] <west536457640> because on ubuntu 14.04 running lxde it is ignoring all my attempts to set it up so i think something must be overriding it
[00:49] <allizom> Elion: maybe you need the rootdelay option? you can try setting rootdelay=90 in the GRUB menu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#Key_Points_About_Terminal_Menu_Editing:
[00:49] <west536457640> or is there a master setting someplace cos it is driving me nuts to have my laptop screen go dark every 5 minutes and not being able to change it
[00:54] <michael_p>  why not call 16:04 human friendship
[00:54] <michael_p> or human friends
[00:55] <Elion> allizom: it's not a wait pb, it's due to the grub not mounting iscsi target at all
[00:57] <allizom> Elion: I would try before drawing conclusions, that said, do as you want. It's not a permanent change anyway
[00:57] <bnrf> Elion: Not something I've done, however fstab is part of this.
[00:58] <bnrf> not seen mantion is all
[00:58] <bnrf> e*

[01:11] <Bray90820> why would file print not work from a pdf but "lpr file.pdf" works
[01:15] <bodhi_zazen> Bray90820, what are you using to view / print the .pdf ?
[01:15] <bodhi_zazen> some pdf viewers seem to have bugs
[01:16] <Bray90820> Adobe reader
[01:18] <ki7rw> i'm unable to execute dpkg which is preventing me from upgrading packages with synaptic or apt-get - i've unable to reinstall dpkg and it doesn't seem to exist on my system - unless someone has a better idea i'm going to do a fresh install of 14.01
[01:20] <bodhi_zazen> ki7rw, unless you can tell us what you did to get this problem -> reinstall
[01:21] <cubensys> hey guys got a problem
[01:21] <bodhi_zazen> change system permissions ? Not using sudo ? removed something ?
[01:21] <ki7rw> i have no idea what caused this - maybe the xorg-edgers ppa?
[01:21] <bodhi_zazen> cubensys, state your question
[01:21] <cubensys> some time ago my machine quit on life during a sotware update
[01:21] <cubensys> now I have 5 or 6 system problem errors on startup
[01:22] <cubensys> but everything seems fine in every other regard
[01:22] <bodhi_zazen> ki7rw, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | pastebinit
[01:22] <cubensys> what do I do to solve the system problem errors
[01:22] <bodhi_zazen> cubensys, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f | pastebinit
[01:23] <ki7rw> http://pastebin.com/qpKdhaTt
[01:23] <cubensys> what does the -f do?
[01:23] <bodhi_zazen> fix
[01:24] <bodhi_zazen> see man apt-get ;)
[01:24] <cubensys> thanks man, stay equanimous!
[01:26] <bodhi_zazen> ki7rw, try sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/dpkg
[01:26] <allizom> Bray90820: that software has been discontinued for GNU/Linux, you could try to use evince, okular, or another pdf reader and see how it goes
[01:26] <bodhi_zazen> IME evince prints best
[01:27] <bodhi_zazen> at least with my printer
[01:27] <ki7rw> already tried that: http://pastebin.com/GT9Gwdx1

[01:29] <redstar> Hello I am having trouble getting Wifi working on Ubuntu 15.04.
[01:29] <bodhi_zazen> bash -c irissi
[01:29] <redstar> It won't let me connect to any wifi network. :(
[01:30] <redstar> And under the network manager it was Wireless Networks: disconnected.
[01:30] <bodhi_zazen> redstar, simply stating it is not working does not help use help you - start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[01:30] <nomic> redstar you need to right click then edit wireless then put in your wep key
[01:31] <nomic> wireless manager
[01:31] <Pazooza> WEP? Should be WPA.
[01:31] <Guest86360> Uploading bash output within IRSSI
[01:31] <redstar> I have tried that, and when I try "connect" it simply shows it trying to connect and then it stops, never working.
[01:31] <Guest86360> humm not sure to understand hehehe
[01:31] <redstar> And it's WPA2.
[01:31] <nomic> ok
[01:31] <nomic> have you put in your wap key
[01:32] <nomic> at any point
[01:32] <redstar> Yes.
[01:32] <redstar> I have a feeling it's a problem with my drivers.
[01:32] <nomic> why r u here lol
[01:32] <Pazooza> Try "connect to a hidden netrwork" then select wlan0 if it's already set up.
[01:32] <redstar> I am on a wired connection -- there's an unsightly wire running up my stairs and down my hallway.
[01:32] <nomic> if the pc sees the wireless it should be connecting -- if it sees all your local links
[01:33] <redstar> It doesn't list the available wifi networks or anything, I just tried "connect to a hidden network".
[01:33] <nomic> so you don' tsee any network ids in the list
[01:33] <redstar> Correct.
[01:33] <nomic> so your wireless card disn't connecting
[01:33] <nomic> your pc wireless isn;t working at all
[01:34] <redstar> It seems that way.
[01:34] <nomic> you have incompatible pc wireless with your pc .. is it a laptop or a pc
[01:34] <redstar> PC.
[01:35] <redstar> 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01)
[01:35] <nomic> you maybe do not have wireless hardware at all (possibility) - I have (for instance) on pcs a wireless usb key
[01:35] <nomic> pcs are not supplied with wireless
[01:35] <nomic> laptops are
[01:35] <redstar> My motherboard has wifi on the chipset.
[01:35] <Pazooza> If you have any wireless security cameras in the area turn them off, they interfere with wifi.
[01:36] <redstar> Wifi works fine from my laptop and my mobile phone.
[01:37] <linuxuz3r> hi
[01:38] <pitiye_> guys i have a special requirement ,  i hope many of you have seen tutorial videos on youtube where , tutor types text on a text editor in large fonts to present and elaborate the tutorial,  is there any way to render this into the video screen rather than typing on text editor ?
[01:38] <nomic> you maybe need http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61S5gwCI6BS._SL1400_.jpg
[01:38] <Pazooza> Delete your wlan0 configuration and do it again.
[01:38] <linuxuz3r> just wondering how to get the opengl version supported on my ubuntu install
[01:38] <nomic> http://s3.amazonaws.com/wootsaleimages/Netgear_54Mbps_Wireless_USB_2.0_Adapterpo5Detail.jpg
[01:38] <nomic> usb wireless adaptor - instant connection thru any pc
[01:38] <redstar> There must be a way to get the onboard WiFi working.
[01:39] <pitiye> guys i have a special requirement ,  i hope many of you have seen tutorial videos on youtube where , tutor types text on a text editor in large fonts to present and elaborate the tutorial,  is there any way to render this into the video screen rather than typing on text editor ?
[01:39] <nomic> if you do not have that -"onboard wireless" less likely to work - that ^ 100% worky, every time
[01:39] <redstar> I don't have time to wait for one of those, my roomate almost tripped to death over my ethernet cable.
[01:39] <n0m_> does partedmagic zero out free space?
[01:39] <nomic> usb wireless confirmed - netgear wsg511
[01:39] <nomic> thos things are handy
[01:39] <n0m_> i dont want to erase my os, but i do want to completely wipe the free space
[01:40] <nomic> harder to get some obscure wireless working on a pc (apart from a laptop) .. diagnose
[01:40] <redstar> Why so hard?
[01:41] <nomic> put the cable next to the skirting board away from where people walk until your netgear wsg511 key arrives (ebay v cheap)
[01:41] <nomic> is hard life is hard life involves many difficult things
[01:41] <redstar> No
[01:41] <redstar> It must work!
[01:42] <nomic> ok you sit here and wait for specialists to diagnose your specific PC / wireless hardware problem.
[01:42] <nomic> do not panic - you are online
[01:43] <allizom> pitiye: please be clearer, what does render into the video screen mean?
[01:43] <pitiye> allizom:  have you seen subtitles in a movie ?  i am looking for a similar effect
[01:44] <pitiye> allizom:  i just dont want to edit video, or write text on a text editor when recording the screen ,  just want to embed text while recording the screen.
[01:45] <redstar> nomic: roger that
[01:46] <redstar> nomic: I think I need the compat-wireless-pc package.
[01:46] <redstar> But it's not in repositories it needs to be built.
[01:46] <allizom> pitiye: when will you be typing the text, during or after the recording?
[01:48] <pitiye> allizom:  its impossible to type text during or after recording , i can edit the video and insert text with kdenlive after recording , which i dont want to do that.   i would have prepared text in a file before recording and use a tool which prints and embeds those text on the screen,  i am looking for such tool.
[01:51] <ging> does anyone know anything about old kernal images not being picked up by apt auto remove on 12.04 ?
[01:52] <leo34> hello is there a way
[01:53] <Bashing-om> ging: 'autoreove' apt was rewritten after the release of 12.04 . So in 12.04 that ability of autoremove does not exist .
[01:53] <leo34> to tell testdisk  where to start the search for a partition
[01:53] <ging> ah
[01:53] <ging> that would explain it
[01:55] <ging> the amount of guides which were meant to by for 12.04 which have simply said do apt get auto remove has been quite a pain then
[01:56] <ging> i have been searching and searching for broken dependancies which never existed
[01:57] <Bashing-om> ging: Yeah, "autoremove" exist in 12.04, but the ability to delete old kernels is not supported (or at least the last I was aware, maybe with HWE it is ?) .
[01:59] <Bashing-om> ging: 'sudo apt-get -f install ' will list (and try and fix) any dependency issues . Also 'sudo fpkg -C ' for an audit of the package management system .
[02:00] <ging> there were no issues
[02:00] <ging> i just thought maybe there were packages which depended on kernals they didn't actually need to
[02:01] <pitiye> allizom:  Hello
[02:01] <ging> which would stop autoremove being able to remove them
[02:04] <ging> if i have a full boot partion of kernels, all newer than the current one in use, would it be ok to remove all except the current and the 2 latest ones?
[02:04] <ging> i don't want to reboot it till i've fixed the full boot partion
[02:05] <pitiye> allizom: xosd is what going to save me :D
[02:07] <allizom> you found one? glad to hear, sorry but I didn't know any
[02:07] <allizom> I was searching for osd though :)
[02:10] <Bashing-om> ging: In 12.04 apt-get and dpkg are the tools to use to remove the old imagea and headers .
[02:10] <hypernova> hey guys how do you fix packet loss?>
[02:19] <ging> Bashing-om: but how do i know which ones are really needed?
[02:20] <bodhi_zazen> hypernova, depends on the cause, fix your network
[02:20] <bodhi_zazen> If it is outside your network, call your ISP
[02:20] <ging> or is the no real chance any specific ones are needed
[02:20] <hypernova> k
[02:20] <bodhi_zazen> ging, you only really need 1 kernel, the one you are currently running
[02:21] <Bashing-om> ging: 'uname -r ' tells you the current booting kernel. That should be the latest one, and also keep the one under it as a backup, all others can be removed .
[02:21] <bodhi_zazen> I like to keep one old kernel "just in case"
[02:21] <ging> i don't want to remove the wrong one and it eat half my packages
[02:21] <bodhi_zazen> ging, so use the -s flag
[02:21] <bodhi_zazen> sudo apt-get -s remove foo
[02:23] <Bashing-om> ging: ^ +1 .. the -s is "simulate" - safety net . will tell you what it is going to do but does not do it .
[02:23] <ging> bodhi_zazen: the problem is i can't use apt untill i have removed a few, i need to delete some manually as apt is failing to do anything due to a full boot partition and a partly installed kernel
[02:23] <ging> will not let me add or remove
[02:24] <ging> or do anything infact
[02:24] <bodhi_zazen> dpkg -r kernel
[02:24] <Bashing-om> ging: In that case try 'dpkg' it works at a lower level and you might have enough overhead room for 'dpkg' to work .
[02:24] <ghost_> hii guys., ?
[02:24] <bodhi_zazen> ging, and make /boot bigger, lol

[02:42] <O_Andrew> Hello there, i can't use my webcam! It shows in lsusb but not in dmesg! Where should i look next?
[02:43] <O_Andrew> actually it shows in kern.log! -> uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device WebCam (064e:d101)
[02:44] <bodhi_zazen> and what happens when you run cheese or try to use it ?
[02:45] <O_Andrew> Well cheese says it cannot connect to it, VLC says open of `v4l2:///dev/video0' failed
[02:45] <O_Andrew> By the way im don't even know if really is video0, its the only 'video' device i got though
[02:45] <O_Andrew> if it really is *
[02:46] <O_Andrew> Cheese says: "There was an error playing video from the webcam"
[02:51] <bodhi_zazen> version of ubuntu ?
[02:52] <threesixes> O_Andrew, what does lsusb say?  some old webcams dont work good, new uvc ones are pretty good about that...
[02:52] <Bashing-om> ging: How ya doing ? Making progress ?
[02:52] <jmadero> hi all - I'm trying to make an m3u playlist from a script - I need to loop through a find command, anyone around who might be able to help?
[02:53] <O_Andrew> threesixes: Bus 002 Device 020: ID 064e:d101 Suyin Corp. Acer CrystalEye Webcam
[02:57] <mangolion> do you guys know any novel-writting app for linux like nimble writer and yWriter5 for Windows?
[02:59] <jmadero> mangolion: writer's cafe maybe
[02:59] <threesixes> O_Andrew, upstream reports uvc + cheese works with your webcam, ie modprobe the uvc module and try webcam software of choice
[02:59] <manuel> Installer failed to encrypt "logical partition already in use", forcing me to delete and partitionate without any encryption. Should I reboot the installer and encrypt the partition now?
[03:01] <mangolion> jmadero: its a website, not a program
[03:01] <O_Andrew> threesixes: I know it should work normally. It just doesn't :o. lsmod shows uvcvideo loaded and used by videodev, media, videobuf2_vmalloc and videobuf2_core
[03:03] <mangolion> oh sorry jmadero
[03:04] <jmadero> mangolion: for what?
[03:04] <threesixes> does uvcview work O_Andrew
[03:04] <threesixes> someone was saying to use a bison driver for that webcam
[03:05] <O_Andrew> No command 'uvcview' found, did you mean: guvcview
[03:07] <mangolion> jmadero: I thought it was just a website for writers, turns out its an actual program
[03:07] <jmadero> mangolion: yeah I've used it a couple times
[03:07] <jmadero> it's okay - I prefer just using LIbreOffice
[03:07] <jmadero> but to each their own
[03:07] <bodhi_zazen> manuel, if you need encryption, then yes you need to re-install
[03:08] <jmadero> only if you want the entire partition encrypted - you could just easily encrypt particular folders...
[03:08] <jmadero> without a complete reinstall
[03:08] <bodhi_zazen> true that
[03:11] <O_Andrew> guvcview spammed "V4L2_CORE: (get_v4l2_frame) video stream must be started first" in my terminal
[03:15] <lickalott> gents, anyone here familiar with duplicity?  i have a folder FULL of backups incremental and differential and I would like to remove some of them, but I can't find any documentation that defines which files are which (to include if the manifest needs to be kept)

[03:19] <StormRoof> I commend Dylann Storm Roof for his actions, and Emmanuel AME Church will forever be a shrine for those of us who are sick of the feral negrow beast.   Your church will now become a place where those of us will come by and join you in prayer to honor what happened.
[03:20] <jmadero> please boot StormRoof
[03:20] <jmadero> mods anywhere
[03:20] <le_pig> well..
[03:21] <StormRoof> Emanuel AME Church will be a tourist attraction
[03:21] <StormRoof> for those of us who want to commemorate the event
[03:21] <StormRoof> they are going to see more mexicans, asians, and whites than usual
[03:21] <StormRoof> praying with them
[03:21] <StormRoof> but little will they know that they will all be niggerhaters
[03:21] <StormRoof> who are converting their church into a shrine
[03:21] <jmadero> mods in this room need perms so we can easily identify them :)
[03:22] <StormRoof> jmadero  what a newb
[03:22] <StormRoof> you have to paste spam into #freenode
[03:22] <StormRoof> to make a report
[03:23] <StormRoof> tengo ganas de darte un vergazo en tu cara
[03:23] <StormRoof> sé que lo quieres puto
[03:23] <kloeri> StormRoof: drop it
[03:24] <jmadero> kloeri: best just not to reply - you'll just egg him on
[03:24] <jmadero> a moderator will be around sooner or later and he'll be banned
[03:24] <kloeri> I am a moderator and I'm raound now
[03:24] <jmadero> kloeri: ah - mind booting him?
[03:24] <jmadero> pretty offensive stuff
[03:24] <kloeri> if he continues, sure
[03:24] <jmadero> thanks :)
[03:24] <Hobbet1> swearing in spanish seems rather rude
[03:25] <jmadero> the other stuff was quite a bit more offensive than his passive aggressive swearing at me
[03:25] <StormRoof> hobbet1  te gusta la venosa?
[03:25] <jmadero> thanks kloeri for dealing with him
[03:26] <mariorz> hi. I need some help upgrading an10.04 lts box. do-release-upgrade is unable to calculate the upgrade.
[03:26] <jmadero> mariorz: wow from 10.04....I'd highly suggest a fresh install
[03:27] <jmadero> that's 2 major releases . . . pretty likely things will go wrong
[03:27] <mariorz> grepping for Broken on apt.log returns "Broken libdb5.1:i386 PreDepends on multiarch-support [ i386 ] < none -> 2.15-0ubuntu10.12 > ( libs )"
[03:27] <jmadero> 10.04 has been EOL for a long time
[03:27] <mariorz> no
[03:27] <mariorz> it's 10.04 lts
[03:27] <mariorz> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[03:27] <Remoboth_> WHy does irc.ubuntu.com keep redirecting me to Freenode?
[03:28] <mariorz> it has not reached EOL yet
[03:28] <jmadero> mariorz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[03:28] <jmadero> looks like it has to me
[03:28] <mariorz> LTS
[03:28] <jmadero> yes I know
[03:28] <jmadero> 10.04 IS LTS
[03:28] <jmadero> there is no "non LTS 10.04)
[03:28] <mariorz> fine a couple of months EOL
[03:28] <jmadero> Desktop EOL was May 9, 2013, Server was April 30, 2015
[03:28] <mariorz> you're not really being helpful
[03:28] <Remoboth_> Is there a good free app to adjust screen brightness?
[03:29] <threesixes> 064e:d101 stream must be started first ala google O_Andrew
[03:29] <mariorz> nd of course there was 10.04 non lts
[03:29] <kloeri> Remoboth_: irc.ubuntu.com is an alias for chat.freenode.net
[03:30] <Remoboth_> kloeri-  Oh.
[03:30] <Remoboth_> WEll.
[03:30] <Remoboth_> Damn.
[03:30] <Remoboth_> Brb.
[03:31] <mariorz> sigh
[03:31] <Remoboth> O.k.
[03:31] <Remoboth> So does anyone know of a good brightness app?
[03:32] <jmadero> mariorz: google search came up with this http://askubuntu.com/questions/127727/broken-dependencies-due-to-libjackd
[03:32] <jmadero> no clue if that'll help
[03:32] <tr3y> Hey guys I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on a Lenovo G580 laptop. I'm having a weird WiFi issue. It usually works fine but when I close the lid and leave it over night, I wake it up and can't connect to the WiFi without resetting the router. Any ideas?
[03:32] <mariorz> no, I can use google
[03:32] <jmadero> mariorz: nevermind I'll stop wasting my time - good luck
[03:32] <mariorz> and would obviously do so before coming here
[03:32] <mariorz> jmadero: please
[03:32] <threesixes> tr3y, what router make and model number?
[03:33] <jmadero> anyone know how to output one line of find at a time through a loop in a bash script? trying to automate this stupid m3u creation that I have going :)
[03:33] <tr3y> threesixes, ill go check.
[03:35] <tr3y> threesixes,  TP LINK TLWR720N
[03:36] <mariorz> can someone help me understand this line from the apt.log? Broken libdb5.1:i386 PreDepends on multiarch-support [ i386 ] < none -> 2.15-0ubuntu10.12 > ( libs )
[03:37] <bodhi_zazen> Remoboth, http://askubuntu.com/questions/9047/cant-adjust-brightness-on-my-laptop
[03:37] <Remoboth> bodhi_zazen-  Thanks.
[03:38] <threesixes> tr3y, if you leave the lid open over night does it require reset?
[03:38] <tr3y> threesixes, I don't believe so. I just left the lid open from about 11am to 11pm and it kept the connection.
[03:39] <Guest86360> any tip on fish/blowkey  auto exchange when queries on xchat or konversation
[03:40] <bodhi_zazen> Remoboth, xrandr will work too
[03:40] <threesixes> next round try reloading the network manager service, if that doesnt work its probably uhhh the wifi low power link disabling prog
[03:40] <Guest86360> didnt quit understand you.. use bash lol
[03:41] <threesixes> Guest86360, blowfish & 2 fish was deprecated in favor of openssl & plain text
[03:41] <bodhi_zazen> Remoboth, echo $brightness > /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/brightness , you have to find the path for your video card and brightness can be 0-10 or 0-255, dpenends
[03:41] <Remoboth> Jeez.
[03:41] <Remoboth> Fixed it.
[03:41] <Remoboth> THank you.
[03:41] <Remoboth> WHoo.
[03:41] <fotografisto> my fan in my laptop stopped working
[03:42] <fotografisto> but my laptop is not hot
[03:42] <fotografisto> and I left it on
[03:42] <fotografisto> did I blow out my fan?
[03:42] <fotografisto> I mean I left the laptop on plugged in
[03:42] <O_Andrew> it's probably the fan driver turning it off
[03:43] <fotografisto> because it isn't hot?
[03:43] <Guest86360> yes ok but chan wiht blowkey and to encrypt pm message .. :S
[03:43] <tr3y> threesixes, you know of a good website that could walk me through those things? I will google it if not. I really appreciate the help.
[03:43] <Guest86360> yes i use OpenSSL 1.0.2c for fp secure connection and transfer
[03:43] <Guest86360> *ftp
[03:44] <fotografisto> O_Andrew so is it safe?
[03:44] <fotografisto> I guess I just wait for it to get hot
[03:44] <O_Andrew> fotografisto: you can try rebooting the laptop, the fan's should run full speed on the POST, and turn off when ubuntu loads
[03:45] <fotografisto> okay
[03:45] <O_Andrew> You could also install lm-sensors and run 'sensors' to find out more about your computer's sensor capabilities
[03:45] <fotografisto> I will try that
[03:45] <threesixes> tr3y, im running funtoo with openrc, i haven't used ubuntu in years...  its just the systemd service file to restart networkmanager, and if that fails its that prog..  it's name is escaping me at the moment...  RFKILL
[03:46] <gunfus> I need some help with VSFTPD
[03:46] <threesixes> i think rfkill's not being processed correctly from hibernation/suspend O_Andrew
[03:46] <gunfus> I am getting a very .very odd problem.
[03:46] <ninguno> hola
[03:46] <threesixes> gunfus, use sftp or http =)
[03:46] <ninguno> hello
[03:47] <Guest86360> nah GL :P
[03:47] <gunfus> i can login from the O/S FTP client but when doing remotly it doesn't work
[03:47] <shibu_> hlo there...
[03:47] <gunfus> #threesixes I am forced to used FTP
[03:47] <gunfus> @threesixes I am forced to used FTP
[03:47] <threesixes> probably need to enable promiscuous mode gunfus
[03:47] <shibu_> Is there any way to remove a write protection from the pendrive using ubunut
[03:47] <ninguno> i am problem with Ubuntu 12.04
[03:47] <tr3y> threesixes, thank you.
[03:47] <shibu_> Please help me....
[03:47] <ninguno> help me please?
[03:48] <threesixes> shibu_, man chattr ala console/terminal
[03:48] <gunfus> @threesixes what is promiscous mode? I think the problem might also  be related to the messages.. I can see in the LOG for VSFTPD the mesg printing OKAY, but in the console of the client, the messages are delayed
[03:49] <gunfus> can I do a screenshot?
[03:49] <gunfus> somewhere?
[03:49] <threesixes> https://security.appspot.com/vsftpd/vsftpd_conf.html gunfus
[03:50] <threesixes> i already know the behavior its passive or promiscuous need flipping of the current setting....
[03:50] <al_nz1> HI peoples
[03:50] <kotomi> :shibu_ does it get wrong ? or just couldn't work on Ubuntu?
[03:50] <al_nz1> I need some help please with a sound problem. I get sound in VLC etc - but no sound in any browser.
[03:51] <shibu_> Sorry i don't understand what you told to me
[03:51] <al_nz1> So no sound in youtube tec
[03:51] <shibu_> Yep pendrive is working but not format..
[03:51] <shibu_> Is there any way to format my pendirve
[03:51] <shibu_> Is there any way to  format my pendrive
[03:51] <threesixes> shibu_, gparted
[03:52] <threesixes> al_nz1, you need to set your alsa configurations or pulse audio default device, and reconfigure vlc to use pulse audio
[03:52] <kotomi> perhaps you need to sudo chmod -R a+r+w * ?
[03:52] <shibu_> I use gparted but not worked...
[03:52] <shibu_> Is there another disk editor program ..
[03:53] <azamrod> e
[03:53] <kotomi> Can you read files in pen drive?
[03:53] <al_nz1> threesixes: it was going until recently ..... but ok - where do I look for this alsa config?
[03:53] <threesixes> you need to change the drive attributes to allow read write on the drive shibu_ ie chattr
[03:53] <gunfus> @threesixes
[03:53] <threesixes> its asoundrc, id just go with the pulse configurations, at least i think ubuntu uses pulse still
[03:54] <gunfus> threesixes: maybe this will help show the problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11786311/
[03:54] <shibu_> Ok how to change drive attributes
[03:54] <azamrod> eee
[03:54] <shibu_> Is there any way from ubuntu
[03:54] <james623> how do I uninstall wine1.7
[03:54] <threesixes> shibu_, im telling you to google for the manual for the command chattr
[03:54] <threesixes> =D
[03:54] <gunfus> threesixes: look at the seuqence of the msg.. it doesn't add up. The log says it let me in, but the client says it didn't. If I do the same locally it works
[03:54] <threesixes> you run the chattr to unlock the drive, then back to gparted
[03:54] <gunfus> threesixes: What catches my attention is always msg for VSFTP are off
[03:54] <azamrod> hola
[03:55] <Trinity> I accidentally 'rm'ed my X11 directory
[03:55] <Trinity> what should I do?
[03:55] <notaeon> james623: how did you install it?
[03:55] <gunfus> Trinity: remove X11 and reinstall it
[03:55] <bodhi_zazen> Just reinstall
[03:55] <gunfus> Trinity: sudo apt-get remove X11
[03:55] <james623> sudo apt-get install wine1.7
[03:55] <shibu_> Ok thanks
[03:55] <notaeon> james623: then 'sudo apt-get remove wine1.7' then
[03:56] <james623> I dont think you get me
[03:56] <notaeon> james623: installs through apt can be removed by apt
[03:56] <gunfus> threesixes: Did you take a look at the pastebin?
[03:56] <azamrod> tengo un problema con ubuntu 12.04
[03:56] <Trinity> gunfus, no such file X11
[03:56] <O_Andrew> I am getting closer to the problem: i enabled uvcvideo verbose dmesg logging. And it says this: No fast enough alt setting for requested bandwidth.
[03:56] <notaeon> james623: ok, explain more
[03:56] <azamrod> in spanish please
[03:56] <O_Andrew> !es
[03:56] <threesixes> yeah, sure did...  gunfus local login works fine too right?
[03:57] <azamrod> como hago eso ubottu?
[03:57] <bodhi_zazen> Trinity, apt-get --reinstall ....
[03:57] <gunfus> Trinity: threesixes  yes
[03:57] <Ranger15> Anyone around to help me with making the  /dev /hidraw0   to a ttyUSB0 device..  Trying to get a serial port but I get directly connect to hidraw0
[03:57] <bodhi_zazen> Trinity, if in doubt you can reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[03:57] <gunfus> threesixes: hang on.. like as in from the console?
[03:57] <Trinity> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:57] <Trinity> bash: /usr/bin/sudo: No such file or directory
[03:57] <gunfus> threesixes: This user dahuacam does't have a shell
[03:57] <threesixes> right loopback
[03:58] <gunfus> yes
[03:58] <gunfus> threesixes: yes
[03:58] <threesixes> even external ip may work, but external remote server wont work
[03:58] <threesixes> yeah its that pasiv garbage....
[03:58] <Trinity> how fucked am i
[03:58] <threesixes> uhhh not very Trinity
[03:58] <gunfus> threesixes: I tried the pasv promiscious and restart hte server
[03:58] <gunfus> threesixes: no difference
[03:58] <bodhi_zazen> Trinity, apt-get --reinstall x11-common will probably work
[03:58] <threesixes> ie boot rescue media, and insert sudo via external means
[03:59] <gunfus> threesixes: the ODD ODD thing is that even in local FTP login I see "login failed", but I am actually connected, and so says the server log
[03:59] <Trinity> bodhi_zazen, drake@blue-thunder:~$ apt-get --reinstall x11-common
[03:59] <Trinity> bash: /usr/lib/command-not-found: /usr/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[03:59] <threesixes> gunfus, there's also a port passive setting that may need flipping
[03:59] <bodhi_zazen> Trinity, you can try to boot to recovery mode, but looks like a larger problem
[04:00] <gunfus> threesixes: the max min ports?
[04:00] <threesixes> gunfus, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Very_Secure_FTP_Daemon  break out the big guns...  arch wiki
[04:00] <gunfus> I have tried.. but let me double check
[04:01] <Trinity> bodhi_zazen, any ideas?
[04:01] <Trinity> im scared if i reboot
[04:01] <Trinity> i can tget back to gu
[04:01] <Trinity> gui
[04:01] <Trinity> or
[04:01] <Trinity> something
[04:01] <azamrod> thank you ubottu
[04:01] <bodhi_zazen> Trinity, you do not have much an option as you can not get root otherwise
[04:02] <threesixes> gunfus, did you disable your firewall, or enable ports for ftp?
[04:02] <azamrod> never answer in ubuntu-es
[04:02] <Trinity> bodhi_zazen, I still have a terminal open
[04:02] <bodhi_zazen> Looks like a larger problem, so you are likely looking at reinstall
[04:02] <Trinity> i cant open anymore terminals though
[04:02] <gunfus> threesixes: This is all in a local network
[04:02] <bodhi_zazen> root terminal ?
[04:02] <azamrod> yes yes
[04:02] <Trinity> + f1?
[04:02] <Trinity> ctrl + f1?
[04:02] <threesixes> right a firewall will block lan traffic too gunfus
[04:02] <moses> how do you get flash to work in ubuntu?
[04:02] <azamrod> yes
[04:02] <bodhi_zazen> Trinity, you need root access
[04:03] <Trinity> okay, ill try backing up
[04:03] <Trinity> but if i get to root
[04:03] <gunfus> threesixes: no firewall
[04:03] <Trinity> what then?
[04:03] <azamrod> this a root acces very very important
[04:03] <NegativeFlare> !flash | moses
[04:03] <lotuspsychje> moses: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:03] <azamrod> yes
[04:04] <azamrod> sudo apt get install guadalinexedu-meta
[04:04] <moses> is it dangerous to use flash?
[04:04] <azamrod> guadalinex edu
[04:04] <azamrod> is very important
[04:04] <NegativeFlare> moses: no?
[04:04] <threesixes> gunfus, double check that nftables iptables ufw and firewalld are not running
[04:04] <azamrod> yes
[04:04] <lotuspsychje> moses: security is a very wide topic..its reccomended to always keep your eyes open
[04:05] <azamrod> install guadalinex edu, distribution desarrolled by CGA
[04:05] <gunfus> threesixes: take a look at this while I go look the iptables
[04:05] <gunfus> threesixes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11786340/
[04:05] <threesixes> the best security is to not have anything important in the first place
[04:05] <azamrod> in Andalucia ,Spain
[04:05] <lotuspsychje> threesixes: +1
[04:06] <azamrod> close the window
[04:06] <azamrod> Windows is software libre
[04:06] <lotuspsychje> moses: if a flash banner rizes while your pc banking, and you click on it...who knows what can happen
[04:06] <azamrod> is 100% free
[04:06] <azamrod> sorry, me referia a Ubuntu
[04:06] <azamrod> ok?
[04:07] <gunfus> threesixes: no iptables
[04:07] <gunfus> threesixes: no iptables setup
[04:07] <azamrod> how do say spanish?
[04:07] <gunfus> azamrod: how do you say spanish for what?
[04:08] <gunfus> threesixes: can't find anything about nftables
[04:08] <gunfus> threesixes: only the headers
[04:08] <azamrod> spanish
[04:08] <gunfus> threesixes: any other thoughts?
[04:09] <threesixes> yeah past that tcp wrappers may block the connection i think that its set to whitelist hosts that connect
[04:09] <gunfus> threesixes: I also tried to remove the package and reinstall it
[04:09] <threesixes> i hate vsftpd and ftp in general, i switched to sftp because ssh is better anyways
[04:09] <gunfus> threesixes: I so agree with you
[04:09] <threesixes> windows clients use scp to connect to sftp
[04:10] <gunfus> but this cam requires FTP
[04:10] <threesixes> i upgraded out of that old old old technology
[04:10] <threesixes> ouch
[04:10] <azamrod> ubuntuuu
[04:10] <azamrod> sdfgd

[04:10] <azamrod> df g
[04:10] <azamrod> sdfcg
[04:10] <threesixes> i remember proftpd was a touch easier to deal with gunfus
[04:11] <gunfus> threesixes: I can do NAS uploads too.. WHICH WHO KNOWS what that is..
[04:11] <gunfus> threesixes: is that still in the reps?
[04:11]  * threesixes shrugs, probably
[04:11] <gunfus> threesixes: Yes, I just saw it

[06:04] <sulit> ubuntu510: Linux sulitpc 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1 (2015-05-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux
[06:04] <masgushi> can't get into ubuntu without typing "systemctl default" everytime after it shows the error message
[06:05] <ubuntu510> !debian | sulit
[06:05] <Harris> hello
[06:05] <sulit> ubottu: Ok, thanks
[06:11] <deffrag> I am upgrading system from 14.04 to 14.10 and it crossed 75% of the overall upgrade progress when I last checked the screen. But now when I checked it, it is stuck at "Downloading Dropbox ... 3%". It is not continuing the process.  Should I go into recovery mode and fix broken packages?
[06:12] <ObrienDave> why, oh why, do people insist on "upgrading packages while installing"?
[06:13] <masgushi> bye :)
[06:13] <deffrag> ObrienDave: I have no idea why it was downloading Dropbox when all the important packages were completed downloading
[06:14] <ObrienDave> *sighs*
[06:15] <deffrag> What do you suggest?
[06:15] <deffrag> Can recovery mode help?
[06:15] <ObrienDave> never used it, couldn't tell you
[06:17] <deffrag> Then what do you suggest?
[06:17] <ObrienDave> don't use "upgrade packages while installing" ;P
[06:21] <deffrag> I did do-release-upgrade and there was no option for what you said
[06:41] <glitch> forgive me if i am in the wrong room but i am having a display issue
[06:41] <glitch> i am running dual monitors and one is reading the wrong phical size is there a way i can fix that
[06:42] <glitch>  sorry about spelling  tired
[06:44] <ObrienDave> as long as it reads the proper resolution, what difference does it make about the physical size?
[06:45] <DBoyz_> Hi, Qualcomm's Atheros QCA9377 doesn't seem to be supported by the linux kernel yet. Can someone confirm this?
[06:45] <glitch> its reading as 7 inch and it  is a 32  every thing on it  is huge
[06:46] <ObrienDave> change the resolution
[06:47] <glitch> haveit at max resolution as it is
[06:47] <boodllebat> Hello
[06:48] <redstar> Hi guys I really need some help getting the onboard wifi working on my PC.  It's an ath9k chipset, and in my network manager it doesn't list available wifi networks, and when I try to connect to a wifi network it just hangs then does nothing.
[06:48] <boodllebat> I've made a small plugin how can i add it to apt package manager so that users can download it ?
[06:48] <redstar> I'm running a fresh install of 15.04.
[06:48] <DBoyz_> Aha another qualcomm atheros
[06:49] <redstar> ;(
[06:49] <DBoyz_> Mine's QCA9377 though
[06:49] <DBoyz_> not sure which chipset it belongs to
[06:49] <redstar> AR9462 here
[06:49] <DBoyz_> hence I need help :/
[06:49] <redstar> Did you have any luck getting it working?
[06:50] <DBoyz_> redstar: there are a few tutorial that I found
[06:50] <redstar> ath9k.conf in modprobe directory? I tried it without luck ;(
[06:50] <auronandace> boodllebat: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html
[06:51] <redstar> Might try compat-wireless package next if I can find one for my kernel.
[06:51] <redstar> Which is 3.19.0-21-generic by the way.
[06:52] <DBoyz_> redstar: ah found it. http://askubuntu.com/questions/215498/how-to-install-qualcomm-atheros-ar9565-wireless-drivers
[06:52] <DBoyz_> but that's for 12.04 :/
[06:53] <redstar> Yeah that's from 2012 do you think it's still relevant?
[06:53] <DBoyz_> I have no idea. The method should be similar
[06:53] <SysAdmin7> Did you install the ath9k drivers from ubuntu.
[06:53] <redstar> I didn't know there were specific drivers. I installed build-essentials and linux-headers-generic though as recommended by some posts I seen.
[06:54] <DBoyz_> Apparently there are. I've just discovered it out today.
[06:54] <SysAdmin7> Try modinfo ath9k
[06:54] <redstar> Are we talking about the compat-wireless packages or what?
[06:55] <SysAdmin7> What's your output from that command?
[06:56] <DBoyz_> I think you better direct the question to SysAdmin7. I have very little knowledge to help, sorry.
[06:56] <DBoyz_> I'm actually here trying to fix a wifi issue too lol.
[06:56] <SysAdmin7> What's ur problem
[06:57] <DBoyz_> SysAdmin7: Similar to redstar's but I'm using QCA9377. I'm not sure which chipset it belongs to
[06:57] <DBoyz_> Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 to be exact.
[06:58] <redstar> DBoyz_, please let tonight be our night of solving this god forsaken issue!
[06:58] <glitch>  redstar found  three threads about your wi-fi device and linux     general census is  get a cheep usb dongle that works and wait for the driver
[06:59] <redstar> glitch, I googled pretty heavily and never seen any of those recommendations, can you link?
[06:59] <redstar> Also I need bluetooth too and I think it's tied to this same issue.  Ugh!
[06:59] <DBoyz_> redstar: I'm sure yours would be a relatively easier fix.
[06:59] <SysAdmin7>   Dboyz: Bluetooth?
[06:59] <threesixes> wna1100 6 bucks ath9k_htc =D
[06:59] <DBoyz_> SysAdmin7: sorry. wifi
[06:59] <glitch> redstar: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2281584 the rest referance back to it
[07:00] <redstar> DBoyz_, why would mine be easier?
[07:00] <SysAdmin7> Dboyz: kk
[07:01] <redstar> Anyone wanna see my wireless_script output? :)
[07:01] <DBoyz_> redstar: because your ath9k chipset has been around for a few years and has been supported by the community unlike mine
[07:02] <redstar> Yours is 9k too though...
[07:02] <redstar> A9377
[07:02] <DBoyz_> are you sure?
[07:03] <redstar> The number 9377 is in the 9k range no?
[07:03] <SysAdmin7> Redstar: did you try creating a file /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf with contents: options ath9k nohwcrypt=1
[07:03] <redstar> Yes
[07:03] <DBoyz_> but the model name starts with QCA. yours starts with A<something> right?
[07:03] <redstar> And I've confirmed that param is loaded.
[07:03] <SysAdmin7> Kk, did u install compat drivers
[07:04] <redstar> No compat drivers yet, but I haven't come across relevant package for my kernel and afaik compat packages are for installing software from newer versions of the distro, which isn't the case given I'm on 15.04.
[07:06] <SysAdmin7> Have you installed backports?
[07:07] <redstar> That's just the newer rendition of compat no?
[07:07] <SysAdmin7> Yep
[07:07] <redstar> No I haven't done that, but like I said, it doesn't seem like the right solution.
[07:08] <SysAdmin7> Well, you might as well try it...
[07:08] <redstar> Do you know where I can get the right package for kernel 3.19.0-21-generic?
[07:09] <SysAdmin7>  http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/
[07:09] <SysAdmin7> Grab the 3.19 download
[07:10] <Lewoco> I created a new X session by connecting to an xRDP but all I get it the default black-and-white X background. How do I start unity?
[07:10] <redstar> I am a bit of a newb with building from source, do you have some guide for me? :)
[07:10] <SysAdmin7> Unzip the Tarbell
[07:10] <SysAdmin7> Pp
[07:10] <DBoyz_> SysAdmin7: can I use ath9k driver for my chipset too?
[07:10] <SysAdmin7> Autocorrect...
[07:11] <SysAdmin7> Tar -xzvf ....
[07:11] <redstar> Done..
[07:11] <glitch> ok which chat would my best bet be to  handle dual screen resolution issues
[07:11] <SysAdmin7> Cd into the new directory

[07:17] <jaden> hello
[07:27] <jaden> hi
[08:02] <DBoyz_> meh
[08:02] <DBoyz_> I shall ask again
[08:02] <O_Andrew> ?
[08:03] <O_Andrew> Ask what?
[08:03] <DBoyz_> Need help to get my Qualcomm's Atheros QCA9377 wifi to work
[08:03] <O_Andrew> Does it show in lspci?
[08:05] <DBoyz_> 03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 30)
[08:05] <O_Andrew> good, now do 'lspci -v'
[08:05] <O_Andrew> find that line again
[08:05] <O_Andrew> and tell me what driver it currently uses
[08:06] <O_Andrew> (it probably uses 'wl' but i wanna make sure)
[08:07] <DBoyz_> O_Andrew: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11786871/
[08:09] <DBoyz_> There's no "Kernel driver in use" stuff
[08:09] <O_Andrew> Yep, there is no driver loaded for it
[08:09] <O_Andrew> Can you connect with an ethernet cable>
[08:09] <O_Andrew> ?
[08:09] <DBoyz_> Yup. Connected now
[08:10] <O_Andrew> open up the application search tool and search for "Additional Drivers"
[08:10] <DBoyz_> No additional drivers available.
[08:10] <O_Andrew> Damn it.
[08:10] <O_Andrew> Gimme one sec.
[08:11] <DBoyz_> okay
[08:12] <DBoyz_> which is weird because it doesn't detect nvidia drivers as well
[08:15] <popey> DBoyz_: its in "Software & Updates" -> Additional Driverss
[08:15] <O_Andrew> Yeah, he has the qca9377 which is quite new as i see
[08:15] <DBoyz_> popey: yeah. that's the exact stuff i'm looking at.
[08:15] <O_Andrew> Im trying to see if there's any driver available
[08:16] <popey> looks like it's not well supported yet
[08:22] <O_Andrew> i looked around quite a bit
[08:22] <O_Andrew> and i couldn't find a compatible driver
[08:22] <O_Andrew> :/
[08:23] <O_Andrew> There are some threads with people having the same issue, and most just bought a usb-wifi-dongle
[08:24] <O_Andrew> I used to have the same problem with another Atheros device last year, and after a few months the driver got released so i switched back to linux.
[08:26] <DBoyz_> oh okay
[08:26] <DBoyz_> thanks O_Andrew

[09:17] <meandrain> is there a better/newer way (than using fdisk) to create partitions?  I am thinking of GPT partitions
[09:19] <lotuspsychje> meandrain: maybe gparted can help you?
[09:19] <meandrain> lotuspsychje: I'll try gparted
[09:19] <meandrain> or maybe parted
[09:19] <al2o3-cr> meandrain: cgdisk?
[09:20] <al2o3-cr> like cfdisk but for gpt
[09:20] <ding> hello every one
[09:20] <EriC^^> meandrain: cgdisk is great
[09:20] <ding> have chinese people
[09:21] <meandrain> thank you guys, I'll play with parted and cgdisk
[09:21] <ding> why not fdisk
[09:23] <meandrain> I've used only fdisk so I was thinking maybe it's time to learn something new
[09:28] <Pentester_CodeXp> Hi
[09:28] <lotuspsychje> Pentester_CodeXp: welcome how can we help you?
[09:28] <Pentester_CodeXp> I dont know :D
[09:28] <Pentester_CodeXp> What ever bye :D
[09:29]  * al2o3-cr just why?
[09:29] <TJ-> meandrain: For GPT 'gdisk' is the correct command-line tool, equivalent to 'fdisk' with MBR
[09:29] <meandrain> TJ-: thanx
[09:30] <al2o3-cr> TJ-: whats wrong with cgdisk?
[09:30] <TJ-> meandrain: 'cgdisk' and 'sgdisk' are close cousins of 'gdisk' but are targeted at scripted or  text-based curses windowing mode
[09:30] <TJ-> al2o3-cr: Nothing at all, it's a curses wrapper around gdisk
[09:30] <al2o3-cr> :P
[09:31] <TJ-> Those tools are all from the 'gdisk' package
[09:31] <meandrain> yep
[09:32] <TJ-> meandrain: For power users, 'parted' falls down especially if you need to manage MBR/GPT hybrid configurations
[09:33] <meandrain> I've used parted once, it was ok (easy to use)
[09:54] <shomon> hi, I have a non standard usb dongle so I mounted it with ndiswrapper. How do I get this to happen each boot?
[09:54] <shomon> atm I have to type "modprobe ndiswrapper" and restart networking...
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> shomon: what kind of chipset is your dongle?
[09:55] <shomon> bcmn43xx32
[09:56] <lotuspsychje> !broadcom | shomon
[09:57] <lotuspsychje> shomon: you might wanna try that b43 firmware
[09:57] <owen1> how to make capslock act as esc? xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Escape NoSymbol Escape" doesn't do anything (ubuntu 15.04)
[09:58] <EriC^^> owen1: type xmodmap -pke | grep 66
[10:00] <owen1> EriC^^: keycode  66 = Escape NoSymbol Escape
[10:03] <EriC^^> odd doesn
[10:03] <EriC^^> doesn't work here either
[10:03] <EriC^^> try xbindkeys maybe owen1
[10:04] <owen1> will do!
[10:06] <shomon> lotuspsychje, so I need to reinstall everything and start again? I followed that page a while back and somehow got this dongle working
[10:07] <shomon> I don't really want to mess with it. Just to be able to not have to start it manually each time I boot
[10:07] <shomon> so to rephrase the question
[10:07] <shomon> how do you get a module to load at boot?
[10:07] <lotuspsychje> shomon: why would you load ndiswrapper, when you need a broadcom driver?
[10:08] <shomon> I'm connected to the internet already, and via ndiswrapper
[10:08] <shomon> it's just a wrapper for windows dirvers
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: greetings mate
[10:09] <shomon> the broadcom driver installs within ndiswrapper. so that's fine.
[10:09] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, heydiho!
[10:09] <shomon> what I need to do is get ndiswrapper to load at each boot
[10:09] <Johnny_Linux> you need the driver, not wrapper
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> shomon: if you find the correct linux broadcom driver, it will load automaticly on boot
[10:10] <shomon> aah... well I just upgraded to 14.. maybe now that will work
[10:10] <shomon> I tried it before but I had to go for the other route.. thanks
[10:10] <lotuspsychje> Johnny_Linux: wanna join us in #ubuntu-discuss ?
[10:15] <al2o3-cr> owen1: this works for me: setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape
[10:15] <owen1> al2o3-cr: works here too!
[10:16] <al2o3-cr> :)
[10:16] <owen1> should i just put this is a script that runs when i login?
[10:16] <al2o3-cr> owen1: puts in your .xinitrc
[10:17] <al2o3-cr> scratch that what version of ubuntu?
[10:17] <owen1> al2o3-cr: i don't have this file. my session is i3
[10:18] <al2o3-cr> owen1: putting it in rc.local should do it
[10:18] <owen1> al2o3-cr: i think i can do something like this in my i3 config file; exec_always --no-startup-id ~/restart.sh
[10:18] <al2o3-cr> owen1: ah, yep you can
[10:19] <al2o3-cr> i can never get xmodmap to work for me :(
[10:19] <owen1> al2o3-cr: the problem with your command is that now my esc is capslocking...
[10:20] <owen1> i don't want to touch esc
[10:20] <owen1> i don't need capslock in my life (;
[10:21] <al2o3-cr> one sec let me look through them again
[10:24] <al2o3-cr> let me reboot one sec
[10:27] <allizom> Hi, a friend has a computer running 14.04 desktop 32 bits. Recently, it started showing a black screen whenever you log in, for every user. The default greeter shows fine at full resolution. He told me the last thing he did was installing updates. The text ttys are working. The video card is a Nvidia Geforce 7300 LE, but I tend to think it is not a drivers issue. What else could it be? Where should I be looking at?
[10:28] <al2o3-cr> owen1: just tested this works: setxkbmap -option caps:escape (had to reboot to make sure)
[10:28] <al2o3-cr> this just makes caps as escape
[10:28] <owen1> al2o3-cr: i love you
[10:29] <al2o3-cr> owen1: love you too :P
[10:29] <lotuspsychje> allizom: try a recoverymode from grub perhaps?
[10:30] <allizom> lotuspsychje: I tried that, and also booting in an older kernel. No luck
[10:30] <EriC^^> allizom: try booting an older kernel, or changing the graphics driver
[10:31] <lotuspsychje> allizom: what about recoverymode/fix broken packages?
[10:31] <EriC^^> allizom: did you try booting with nomodeset? worth a shot
[10:31] <PengunCSC> oud
[10:33] <allizom> EriC^^: I tried switching to nouveau, I'm not sure I did it correctly, so I reinstalled nvidia-current. However I don't think it's a video driver issue, because with startx I can get a working desktop at full resolution (but the dash and the top bar are not shown)
[10:34] <allizom> EriC^^: I will try that
[10:36] <EriC^^> allizom: oh
[10:36] <EriC^^> that's odd
[10:38] <pwp> Hi, I want to shutdown my computer from a bash-script without having to give a password. After searching the internet I changed my /etc/sudoers file. Here is the new file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11787359/ But sudo shutdown -h now sill asks for a password. What am I missing?
[10:38] <EriC^^> you don't need to add anything to sudoers
[10:38] <EriC^^> TJ-: what was that command to shutdown without sudo? systemctl something ?
[10:39] <cyberalex4life> hello guys! I want an advice: is there some way for updating my Sony Xperia E1 by installing the update software in wine (as much as hard it can be)
[10:40] <cfhowlett> cyberalex4life, is the experia running ubuntu?
[10:40] <bazhang> !appdb | cyberalex4life
[10:40] <EriC^^> pwp: the sudoers isn't working cause you need to add /sbin/shutdown
[10:40] <MonkeyDust> cyberalex4life  i have exactly the same phone, but how is your question ubuntu related?
[10:40] <EriC^^> pwp: you could use poweroff if you want
[10:40] <bazhang>  /join #winehq cyberalex4life
[10:41] <TJ-> EriC^^: not sure; is systemctl a systemd thing?
[10:41] <cyberalex4life> cyberalex4life, no, but could I make it to run ubuntu instead of android?
[10:41] <EriC^^> TJ-: yeah, but it works on 14.04 as well
[10:41] <EriC^^> you mentioned it a while ago
[10:41] <bazhang> !touch | cyberalex4life
[10:41] <EriC^^> TJ-: initctl maybe?
[10:41] <cfhowlett> !touch *possibly*.  read the touch wiki

[10:41] <bazhang>  /join #ubuntu-touch cyberalex4life

[11:06] <Guest94248> Hi! I want to resize (shrink) my home partition, and have booted using a live disk (xubuntu) to do so. But for some reason, gparted gets stuck when reading the partition tables, of the other disks in my machine. It just shows <reading partition table of /dev/sdb> or similar
[11:07] <lotuspsychje> noob: is your nvidia card enabled in bios?
[11:07] <Guest94248> How to debug/analyse that?
[11:07] <noob> it works perfectly fine in windows 8!
[11:07] <rimdeker> EriC^^: Hmmm, I guess. I love pass and would  like something like it. The only thing that bothers me is that it saves passwords in a file with clearname. People mightn't get to my passwords but they sure as hell can see what I got passwords for
[11:07] <lotuspsychje> noob: in ubuntu optimus cards need nvidia-prime to enable performance mode
[11:08] <noob> i installed it
[11:08] <lotuspsychje> noob: but you need to install driver also
[11:08] <noob> oh ok
[11:08] <lotuspsychje> noob: maybe try nvidia-current

[11:21] <noob1> lotuspsychje
[11:22] <lotuspsychje> noob1: did you install ubuntu with cable/updates enabled?
[11:23] <noob1> yes
[11:24] <lotuspsychje> noob1: not sure then, your card should be discovering drivers..
[11:25] <noob1> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-('uname -r') can you correct this for me please
[11:26] <noob1> let me try to compile nvidia from source
[11:27] <boodllebat> Hello i was trying to make a Plugin for users so where should i place my binary (in user's system so that they can access it from anywhere ) ?
[11:27] <vfw> !compile | noob1
[11:28] <noob1> relax guys i have already don it afew times
[11:28] <vfw> !nvidia | noob1
[11:28] <noob1> but on opensuse
[11:28] <Ben64> noob1: that is likely to cause problems
[11:30] <vfw> noob1: Try the binary driver first.  See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[11:30] <noob1> ok
[11:31] <vfw> noob1: "Usually you will see a notification and/or an icon in the top panel, reminding you that restricted drivers are available."
[11:31] <ufk> hello
[11:31] <noob1> vfw idont see it
[11:32] <ufk> i want to configure an email server. to use postfix or... is there something new ?
[11:32] <bekks> ufk: Just use postfix :)
[11:32] <ufk> cool. now is there a way to configure in postfix that a specific user can send emails only to a specific destination ?
[11:33] <bekks> ufk: Is there?
[11:33] <ufk> i'll google and let ya know :)
[11:33] <vfw> noob1: lspci | grep VGA

[11:34] <noob1> one minut
[11:34] <vfw> noob1: (Which chip is it?)
[11:34] <noob1> says intel
[11:34] <vfw> noob1: Is it a laptop?
[11:35] <noob1> yes
[11:35] <noob1> but this shows nvidia
[11:35] <noob1> sudo lshw -C video
[11:35] <allizom> thanks to all, I managed to get a working graphical login with nouveau and nomodeset. With nomodeset, only nouveau works. Without it, neither nouveau nor nvidia do work

[11:36] <noob1> ok
[11:36] <vfw> noob1: lsb_release -a   #Tell us what that says.
[11:36] <vfw> noob1: If it is a new install, I would first recommend updates:
[11:37] <vfw> noob1: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[11:37] <bekks> vfs use dist-upgrade instead of upgrade.
[11:37] <bekks> vfw ^ :)

[11:53] <roberto> hello
[11:59] <ufk> i'm having problems configure postfix to be a simple smtp server
[12:00] <SCHAAP137> ufk: try #postfix
[12:00] <ufk> i did apt-get install postfix! and i can telnet port 25.. but i think that i get incorrect username and password. doesn't it fetch it from the user db?
[12:00] <ufk> #postfix is asleep.. :)
[12:00] <SCHAAP137> depends on how you configure it i think
[12:00] <SCHAAP137> postfix does nothing by default after install, it needs quite some configuration
[12:07] <bekks> ufk: if you want postfix to use a database for the user authentication, you need to configure it.
[12:07] <ufk> i don't want it to use a database, i just want it to use the users in the system
[12:07] <never2far> hello, can someone guide me on how can i install grub on a new raid5 ? from rescue disk i have tried to use update-grub but i see that it shows me this: # update-grub

[12:09] <vfw> never2far: What exactly are you trying to do?  (Or what problem are you trying to solve?)
[12:09] <never2far> vfw, i'll explain in the following lines:
[12:10] <nappy> how come i am unable to listen sound from my earphone on ubuntu
[12:10] <TJ-> never2far: is the RAID-5 a hardware RAID or software RAID - and if software, using md (Linux RAID) or dm (fake-RAID) ?
[12:10] <never2far> vfw,  because the host did not let me use raid5 from the begging of the installation ...i had to follow their install and use RAID1 with 3 disks ...then I have tried to remove 2 members from the array and create a new raid5
[12:11] <never2far> i had tried this guide but somehow it did not work - http://blog.scott.wallace.sh/2007/04/converting-raid1-to-raid5-with-no-data.html
[12:11] <never2far> regarding RAID ...it's software raid but i don't know how to tell if it's Linux RAID ( i suppose this is ) or dm (fake raid)
[12:12] <linuxd> bubblemon shows a memory usage of 59%(9.8/16.4GB)isn't it sort of  a high rate?
[12:12] <never2far> now ...i had created RAID5 ...with sda2 and sdb2 , i did chroot from the rescue and synced data from the third disk ...the only problem is that i can't manage to fix grub ...it still see ubuntu as being installed on sdc2 and not on /dev/md2
[12:12] <TJ-> never2far: If you used mdadm then it's Linux RAID
[12:13] <never2far> TJ-, it's Linux RAID then
[12:13] <never2far> thank you
[12:13] <TJ-> never2far: Is there some reason you chose RAID-5? There are very few scenarios where it is recommended, and especially *not* with 3 disks
[12:14] <never2far> TJ-, that's the request from the one who owns the server
[12:14] <never2far> TJ, why it's not recommended with 3 disks ? ...it's the minimum
[12:15] <never2far> and as far as I know if one drive fails raid is still functional
[12:15] <TJ-> never2far: might be worth referring them to http://www.smbitjournal.com/2012/11/choosing-a-raid-level-by-drive-count/
[12:15] <never2far> TJ-, thank you for the link ...i'll read about it
[12:15] <TJ-> never2far: in the footnotes: "RAID 5 never appears because there is no time on spindle hard drives today that it should be used, as RAID 5 is an enhancement of RAID 4, it too does not appear on the list."
[12:16] <TJ-> never2far: if the limit is 3 disks then I'd go with RAID-1 mirror with a hot spare
[12:17] <anddam> are launchpad.net questions in topic here?
[12:17] <linuxd> anddam: no
[12:17] <anddam> I'm trying to recover the password from my long time not-used account, I request the password change, I receive the confirmation code, put it in the form and when I submit the password change it says "bad bot go away"
[12:17] <anddam> oh, too late^
[12:17] <never2far> TJ-,  unfortunately it's not my decision so I'll need to find a way and use RAID-5 for the moment ...can you help me with the grub part ?
[12:17] <anddam> linuxd: ^
[12:18] <anddam> linuxd: I was typing and didn't read
[12:18] <anddam> linuxd: what's an appropriate channel for it?
[12:18] <TJ-> never2far: Is the RAID applied to partitions or to the entire physical drives?
[12:18] <anddam> I ask as the domain is launchpad.net but the pages say "Ubuntu One"
[12:18] <linuxd> anddam: ##linux , maybe?
[12:18] <never2far> TJ-, i'll create a pastebin link with all the info you need
[12:19] <TJ-> never2far: Ahhh! I see your issue
[12:19] <TJ-> never2far: You'll have a /dev/mdX device representing the RAID device
[12:19] <anddam> linuxd: how's that more appropriate for Ubuntu One?
[12:19] <never2far> yup
[12:20] <TJ-> never2far: is /dev/mdX a container for a file-system or does it contain a partition table?
[12:21] <Bozza> never2far: have you tried switching it off and on again?
[12:21] <linuxd> anddam: try #debian-next
[12:21] <never2far> TJ-,  here is the pastebin  - http://paste.ubuntu.com/11787727/
[12:21] <anddam> linuxd: are you for real?
[12:21] <linuxd> anddam: no
[12:21] <nappy> how do i set my system inorder to listen from my ear piece
[12:22] <never2far> TJ-, Bozza , /dev/md2 contains the file-system and i can mount it ...but after reboot ...grub won't boot from it
[12:22] <anddam> linuxd: I figured
[12:22] <never2far> somehow (if u have read the other link) ...md2 was before the changes a raid-1 array with all 3 members ...
[12:23] <TJ-> never2far: Are you using 'chroot' on /dev/md2 's mounted file-system to run update-grub ?
[12:23] <never2far> yup
[12:23] <linuxd> and sorry.just kidding you. so,what ia your problem?
[12:23] <TJ-> never2far: Have you also mounted /sys /dev /dev/pts /proc /run before entering the chroot?
[12:24] <linuxd> anddam:  sorry.just kidding you. so,what is your problem?
[12:24] <never2far> not all ...just /sys, dev and proc
[12:24] <never2far> ok i'll mount /run also ...did not know i'll need it
[12:24] <TJ-> never2far: /dev/pts can be more important
[12:25] <never2far> i did mount --bind /dev /new-disk/dev ...should not pts be included in this mount  ?
[12:25] <TJ-> never2far: Then I'd check whether grub has create itself a drivemap in /boot/grub/ that is pointing to the physical devices
[12:25] <musclez> hello beautiful ubuntites
[12:25] <never2far> TJ-, monted all
[12:25] <TJ-> never2far: no, because --bind doesn't cross file-systems. (/dev/pts) is a separate file system
[12:26] <never2far> TJ-, thx for the info ...i have monted all
[12:26] <never2far> did not know that :(
[12:26] <TJ-> never2far: I discovered that after banging my head a bit ... a long time ago now
[12:26] <TJ-> never2far: check out GRUB's drivemap now
[12:27] <never2far> can you please help me with this ? ...i don't know how ...if you give me some minutes i'll try to find it on the web
[12:27] <TJ-> never2far: sorry, 'device.map' ... the internal command is drivemap :)
[12:28] <TJ-> never2far: GRUB can install an optional alias file "/boot/grub/device.map" that maps physical system device names (/dev/sdX) to GRUB internal names (hdX)
[12:29] <never2far> TJ-, drivemap -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11787755/
[12:29] <TJ-> never2far: info: see https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Device-map.html
[12:30] <never2far> TJ-,  i don't have /boot/grub/device.map ...and thank you for your help again ! :)
[12:30] <TJ-> never2far: OK, so that's not causing an issue then
[12:31] <tokam> Hi, how can I overwrite the $USER variable for some IDEs using Ubuntu with startup parameters?
[12:34] <TJ-> never2far: are you able to do "pastebinit <(grub-mkconfig)" ?
[12:34] <tokam> Why do I have two such environment variables
[12:34] <tokam> USER=tokam
[12:34] <tokam> USERNAME=tokam
[12:34] <never2far> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11787772/
[12:36] <TJ-> never2far: That looks OK... now you should do "update-initramfs -u -k all" to ensure the MD drivers and hooks are installed correctly in the initrd
[12:37] <never2far> root@rescue:/boot/grub# update-initramfs -u -k all
[12:37] <never2far> root@rescue:/boot/grub# echo $?
[12:37] <never2far> 0
[12:37] <never2far> should I use mdadm --zero-superblock on /dev/sdc2 before reboot ?
[12:38] <never2far> yesterday the os booted from that disk somehow :(
[12:38] <never2far> but after zero ...it did not boot anymore
[12:38] <TJ-> never2far: That might help, depends on which metadata version is in use
[12:39] <never2far> ok i'll do a reboot hopefully it will wok :)
[12:39] <TJ-> never2far: Then you need to re-install the grub boot-loader: "grub-install /dev/sda"
[12:45] <TJ-> never2far: I've assumed, but not asked, if you ensured the hypervisor/BIOS is configured to boot from sda. it might just be a boot-order issue
[12:50] <DexterF> hi
[12:51] <DexterF> can the dmraid ("fakeraid") in 14.04 boot a degraded array?
[12:52] <TJ-> DexterF: what symptoms are you seeing? Has the array booted correctly previously?
[12:53] <DexterF> TJ-: oh, I don't have any problems at all, it's just that https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_with_Fake_RAID says "currently dmraid cannot boot a degraded array"
[12:54] <ioria> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID#Boot_from_Degraded_Disk
[12:54] <DexterF> and what good is a RAID that won't let me boot when only degraded
[12:54] <bekks> DexterF: Hopefully none.
[12:55] <DexterF> ioria: that's mdadm, not dmraid
[12:55] <ioria> ops
[12:55] <bekks> DexterF: Whats the actual issue behind your question?
[12:56] <DexterF> bekks: if in a raid1 one mirror fails, the machine won't boot if what the Arch wiki says is still true
[12:56] <bekks> DexterF: Thats not true :)
[12:57] <DexterF> I'll just pull one disk and see whats true and whats not...
[12:58] <never2far> TJ-, it worked ...thank you so much for all your help !
[12:59] <musclez> TJ- if you have time and ur not working with anyone else, can i get some of that primo primo support :D you already know aobut what
[13:00] <TJ-> musclez: You might not believe it but I can't remember the issue, my brain is immersed in other things! Let me pull up my logs to refresh my memory... and get myself a strong coffee
[13:01] <musclez> ...you may need the strongest coffee
[13:01] <musclez> my sitch is still horrible
[13:03] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:07] <musclez> is there anyway i can pull up the logs on this as well?
[13:09] <bazhang> !1984 | musclez
[13:10] <TJ-> musclez: which logs? The chat logs? my chat client keeps them so I filter on them. I sohuld have remembered your issue since I kept all your pastebins open
[13:10] <TJ-> musclez: Going to get the coffee now
[13:10] <SCHAAP137> did someone say, coffee
[13:10] <musclez> lolol, ok
[13:11] <TJ-> musclez: what state is the victim PC in right now? Ready in the chroot?
[13:12] <musclez> TJ-: i was in the middle of making a new installaiton of ubuntu on another disk but the isntaller crashed.. i can get in chroot in 2 mins
[13:13] <TJ-> musclez: hang on!
[13:13] <TJ-> musclez: If the installer crashed on the same hardware I'm going to be talking about a hardware fault yet again! Describe how the installer failed, please
[13:14] <musclez> im installign it thoug a usb cable i think i bumped it
[13:15] <musclez> its a usb3 sata connection on my desk and i move the disk
[13:15] <m82labs> It's been a while, but I seem to remember a way to set a directory up in such a way that any file created there will take on the uid and gid of the directory, not the user that created the file. Am I crazy?
[13:15] <ikonia> musclez: can you not just backup your data, and re-install normally ?
[13:15] <ikonia> rather than using external disks for installs
[13:15] <ikonia> you'll find it a lot quicker, easier and cleaner
[13:20] <musclez> i am in chroot
[13:20] <ikonia> musclez: what is it you're currently trying to do
[13:20] <ikonia> getting a summary would probably help
[13:22] <TJ-> ikonia: This was the one with disk corruption
[13:23] <ikonia> TJ-: yes, and various other things
[13:23] <ikonia> it was going on all last night
[13:23] <ikonia> hence why I'm curious what todays attempt is trying to achieve / plan
[13:23] <TJ-> likely caused by the corruption ... I suspect bad RAM introducing corruption into the file-systems
[13:24] <ikonia> I'm not convinced by that personally, but I'd like to know more / dig deeper
[13:24] <ikonia> be nice to put this to bed, once and for all
[13:25] <TJ-> ikonia: unexplained crashes, segfaults, behaviour in general, across the board
[13:26] <ikonia> TJ-: not unexplained
[13:26] <TJ-> musclez: where did it get left, was it with Eric^^ yesterday wanting to reinstall the kernel images into /boot/ and my wanting to fund out why grub couldn't find the root file-system
[13:26] <ikonia> user had removed/conflicted packages
[13:26] <ikonia> I'd like to see a simple data backup, and clean install using the internal disk - no external usb's etc etc
[13:26] <ikonia> run it - then put the data back on once happy it's stable
[13:26] <ikonia> but for some reason this seems to be being ignored, not even acknowledged by musclez despite being on day 3 of a non-working computer
[13:27] <musclez> Tj-: i backed up my statoverride and deleted any user that was not root, apt-get and dpkg still do not work
[13:27] <Alebin> I just wiped out win8.1 and installed ubuntu. I have some internal and some external drives, all ntfs. I have some media files (videos) on an external drive that gets auto-mounted in ubuntu and a mirror backup of those are on an internal drive that doesn't get automounted. I noticed there are at least 3 of those media files now missing, that I'm viewing the drive(s) in ubuntu. I haven't written anything to the drives, for fear of damagi
[13:28] <TJ-> musclez: ikonia: I agree, a clean install to prove/disprove hardware issues is vital
[13:28] <ikonia> musclez: why are you not even looking at the possibility of a full clean install ?
[13:28] <ikonia> I've been stating this to you for over 24 hours now, and you seem to ignore it and just continue down a path of no reward
[13:29] <TJ-> i14:13:00 <musclez>       TJ-: i was in the middle of making a new installaiton of ubuntu on another disk but the isntaller crashed
[13:29] <ikonia> "on another disk"
[13:29] <musclez> tj-: eveything was working fine until i messed with the kernels... i lost complete connectivity when i ran the boot-repair
[13:29] <ikonia> musclez: is there a reason you are purposefully (it seems) ignoring my advice ?
[13:30] <arex\home> I have the "mongodb" (2.4.9) package installed from the built-in repo, and I would like to upgrade to "mongodb-org" (2.6.10) from the mongodb.org repo. How do I do this with causing problems?
[13:30] <TJ-> musclez: Then you should ensure you have a  backup and then do a fresh clean install, and then reconfigure the trusted clean installed with your bakcup data
[13:30] <musclez> tj-: i can easily compensate for why it crashed... its also a differnt hard drive
[13:31] <musclez> TJ-: i was doing that, and then the crash... i'd still prefer to ressurct this disk as there was noting wrong with it until i removed kernels
[13:31] <ikonia> musclez: you can re-use the disk
[13:31] <ikonia> musclez: use a clean install on the same disk
[13:31] <ikonia> then just restore the data
[13:32] <ikonia> use the clean install for a period of time first, to gain confidence in the data
[13:32] <ikonia> sorry gain confidence in the new install
[13:34] <TJ-> musclez: the PC has a VG with 255GB - from the rescue boot you could shrink the file-systems and LVs in that VG if they are currently using all the VG's extents, then do a manual partitioning install using the same VG but with new LVs in the same VG
[13:35] <ikonia> please - just do a full clean install
[13:35] <Alebin> Anybody a clue as to why those files aren't showing up in ubuntu?
[13:35] <ikonia> no volume groups, new file system - lets get some confidence in the install
[13:35] <ikonia> sorry "new" volume groups
[13:35] <ikonia> I'd really advise you not to use encyprtion too - unless you %101 need it
[13:35] <ikonia> keep it simple and do a nice clean install
[13:35] <ikonia> get some confidence in the install/hardware, then put your data on
[13:35] <ikonia> it will take 20 minutes + backup/restore time
[13:36] <ikonia> 3 days v's 20 minutes
[13:36] <dhrosa> oh, WOW
[13:37] <dhrosa> that was confusing... I was running a VNC server on my remote machine, yet when I used the VNC client on my desktop I kept getting connected to the desktop itself, even though the desktop doesn't havwe a vnc server
[13:37] <dhrosa> I was running the vnc server on the remote machine byy sshing into it... with X forwarding
[13:37] <dhrosa> I'm surprised that worked
[13:39] <musclez> TJ-: if the hardware is faulty i cannot trust that method
[13:39] <ikonia> musclez: doing a clean install is a great way to test the hardware
[13:39] <musclez> Tj-: its not, but using the same disk to to check what you are talking aobut doesnt really make sense
[13:39] <ikonia> musclez: removing all doubt of the legacy install that you screwed up
[13:40] <ikonia> musclez: do you want to fix this now - yes/no ?
[13:41] <TJ-> musclez: you can use that method for a side-by-side install to make porting over the previous install and reclaiming the space it uses. I use that method for release-upgrades and other-distro installs (I break out various parts of the directory hierarchy into separate LVs)
[13:42] <ikonia> TJ-: I'd much rather he kept this simple
[13:42] <TJ-> musclez: It also allows me to boot other installs in virtual machines for testing.
[13:42] <ikonia> TJ-: he struggled with mkdir commands - I don't think this is a good approach
[13:42] <ikonia> a clean install with data only backup seems the best method
[13:42] <ikonia> if possible removing encryption
[13:43] <ikonia> and any other complexity not needed
[13:43] <musclez> its not really helping the issue, i can back up the data and resotre it.. im trying to avoid have to reconfigure the entire server
[13:43] <ikonia> musclez: you've already done that
[13:43] <TJ-> ikonia: I agree, I'm just pointing out 1 way to maintain the existing data on the disk rather than swapping out disks or doing a backup to external disk (since the history with not upsetting external disks is not good!)
[13:43] <ikonia> musclez: you've already re-configured the whole server for 3 days !
[13:43] <ikonia> TJ-: this is getting a bit old now - he either needs to get on board with this (ignoring this discussion is getting pretty rude)
[13:44] <ikonia> he has a usb disk
[13:44] <ikonia> backup
[13:44] <ikonia> clean install
[13:44] <ikonia> restore
[13:44] <TJ-> The problem with backing up the data is, if there is intermittent hardware-induced corruption then it may infect the backup, too
[13:44] <ikonia> thats why you take "data"
[13:44] <ikonia> rather than OS/app stuff
[13:44] <ikonia> so the whole new install, new VG's, new file system, no encyption etc etc, run it safely for X period of time, then restore user data
[13:44] <TJ-> Whilst I suspect hardware issues I always swap out the disk for a new one to avoid any possibility of making matters worse
[13:45] <musclez> TJ-: theoretically, any transfer of that data will not be "safe" if the hardware is "faulty".. another reason why i would like to ensure that the disk is unsalvagable before dismissing it as a hardware issue
[13:45] <ikonia> I don't think there is a hardware issue, (but I know why you are saying this) his corruption in my opinion was caused by all the messing with the disks he did
[13:45] <musclez> tj-: yes i think i am agreeing with you then
[13:45] <ikonia> musclez: best way to do it then is to backup now, remove any disk
[13:45] <ikonia> any warning / risk on the disk
[13:45] <ikonia> clean install on the same disk, run it, you'll be confident it works then
[13:46] <ikonia> once you're confident it works, put your user data back on it
[13:46] <TJ-> musclez: The disk is fine based on the SMART report; I suspect RAM or disk controller I/O issues, or just the after-effects of previous (bot not ongoing) file-system corruption. We already have evidence that the file-system on /dev/sda2 for /boot/ was heavily corrupted
[13:46] <musclez> Tj: i beleive the curruption occured when i ran boot-repair or possible when we changed the UUID
[13:47] <ikonia> I believe the corruption happened when you messed with the disk inside/outside the chroot at the same time
[13:47] <musclez> TJ-: there were no issues finding drives when the UUID was in its orriginal state
[13:47] <TJ-> musclez: The corruption we witnessed doesn't happen inadvertently ... something sprayed the file-system with random data
[13:47] <ikonia> so a clean install will remove that doubt
[13:47] <TJ-> musclez: do you have the option of swapping out the disk?
[13:47] <ikonia> TJ-: he was trying to solve his encyption, and wrote directly to the /dev device
[13:48] <ikonia> I suspect thats where his mess came in
[13:48] <ikonia> (could be wrong though)
[13:48] <musclez> TJ-: physiscally?
[13:48] <TJ-> ikonia: hmmm, yes, I can imagine that might not help, although I'm not sure how that would happen whilst still retaining the the majority of the file-system meta-data intact.
[13:48] <TJ-> musclez: Yes, physically!
[13:49] <ikonia> TJ-: hence my "not sure"
[13:49] <Alebin> I just wiped out win8.1 and installed ubuntu. I have some internal and some external drives, all ntfs. I have some media files (videos) on an external drive that gets auto-mounted in ubuntu and a mirror backup of those are on an internal drive that doesn't get automounted. I noticed there are at least 3 of those media files now missing, that I'm viewing the drive(s) in ubuntu. I haven't written anything to the drives, for fear of damagi
[13:49] <musclez> tj-: yeah but i was just doing it over usb cuz im lazy
[13:49] <ikonia> musclez: backup your data to the usb
[13:49] <ikonia> musclez: do a clean install on the existing drive
[13:49] <ikonia> it takes 20 minutes and you will have confidence
[13:49] <TJ-> musclez: If not, and you *have* to do a backup to an external device, you'll have to calculate a hash on the existing disk images and the backups to ensure they images are identical
[13:49] <ikonia> do you understand why I'm saying this over and over to you ?
[13:50] <musclez> tj-: the server is sitting in front of me
[13:50] <TJ-> musclez: 'lazy' has cost you several days of headaches so far
[13:50] <musclez> tj-: swappign my disk out doesnt solve the issue of my missing boot drive
[13:50] <ikonia> musclez: can you please acklowedge this
[13:50] <ikonia> musclez: why will you not do a clean install on your existing disk
[13:51] <ikonia> what is stopping you ?
[13:51] <TJ-> musclez: swap-out, test install as ikonia recommends, run for a while to be sure, then decide whether to import the configuration and data from the backup, or do something more complicated
[13:51] <musclez> tj-: my laziness is a euphimesm for the lack of documentation of the issue, please dont get it twitsted
[13:52] <musclez> tj-: i ran live usb over night... what exactly are we testing here?
[13:52] <MACscr> is there really not a simple way to limit the number of kernels that ubuntu keeps? Im getting inconsistent results from apt-get automremove. Both systems were created using the same pxe image, but autoremove seems to remove old kernels on one system and not on the other. Any suggestions?
[13:52] <TJ-> musclez: I used your own words; I have no idea you're using a euphemism
[13:52] <TJ-> musclez: That the SATA I/O controller isn't corrupting data
[13:53] <musclez> tj-: the drive, the sata port? my motherboard? psu?
[13:53] <musclez> ok
[13:53] <azamrod> hello
[13:53] <ikonia> TJ-: I'd be quiet intersted to know if it did
[13:53] <ikonia> re-install onto the same disk so it's a fair test
[13:53] <ikonia> save time on the swap out, just backup the data,
[13:53] <musclez> Tj-: so if i just swap to a differnt sata port, that will be alright iwth you?
[13:53] <TJ-> musclez: You can test everything else with the Live USB, but that's the one channel (plus the disk itself of course) where hardware issues could still be present.
[13:53] <ikonia> =mno
[13:54] <azamrod> ubuntu spain
[13:54] <ikonia> !es | ashleyis
[13:54] <azamrod> in spanish please
[13:54] <musclez> tj-, its not hardware.. my disk would be unmounting every 3 seoncds if that were the case
[13:55] <ikonia> musclez: no it would not
[13:55] <ikonia> a mount is not a valid test
[13:55] <TJ-> musclez: I think we've made it more than clear the best approaches and what they're intended to achieve. From now on it's up to you.
[13:55] <ikonia> musclez: do you want to fix this and get a clear understandign of the problem yes/no ?
[13:55] <azamrod> no
[13:56] <TJ-> musclez: No... I've worked on several very pernicious hardware bugs where the disk controller, or a marginally faulty cable, would introduce bit-flipping errors that didn't result in outright I/O command errors
[13:56] <musclez> tj- there is no kernel on the drive right now.. what do i do after the sata port is switch
[13:57] <musclez> TJ-: can you please control ikonia, i have him ignored for a reason
[13:58] <azamrod> hardware chumascado
[13:58] <never2far>  TJ-  it seems i still ned your help :( ...after mdadm --zero-superblock on the third disk (sdc2) ...server can't boot ...even if now sdc2 is a raid member ...i've booted back to the rescue cd but now this is hte error on update-gub: grub-probe: error: disk `mduuid/1329e75eeece5302a4d2adc226fd5302' not found  (that ID is equal to sda2)
[13:58] <never2far> do you have any idea ?
[13:59] <never2far> and is the same with what I get if i'm using: mdadm --detail /dev/md2
[14:00] <linux> ok
[14:02] <linux> usr/share/applications
[14:06] <linux> bye bye
[14:11] <TJ-> never2far: did you miss my last suggestion to you?
[14:11] <never2far> it's possible ..let me scroll back
[14:11] <TJ-> never2far: I've assumed, but not asked, if you ensured the hypervisor/BIOS is configured to boot from sda. it might just be a boot-order issue
[14:11] <Alebin> sudo ls -al would list hidden files, correct?
[14:12] <bekks> Alebin: No need for sudo
[14:12] <never2far> TJ-,  i get the same error even if i try grub-install /dev/sda
[14:12] <never2far> on every device i get the same
[14:12] <TJ-> never2far: at what stage does the boot cycle fail?
[14:12] <Alebin> bekks: yeah, but I'm being crazy desperate at this point
[14:13] <bekks> Alebin: Despair is no reason for using sudo.
[14:13] <bekks> Alebin: Whats the actual issue you are trying to solve?
[14:13] <Alebin> I just wiped out win8.1 and installed ubuntu. I have some internal and some external drives dedicated to storage, all ntfs. I have some media files (videos) on an external drive that gets auto-mounted in ubuntu and a mirror backup of those are on an internal drive that doesn't get automounted. I noticed there are at least 3 of those media files now missing, now that I'm viewing the drive(s) in ubuntu. I haven't written anything to the d
[14:13] <never2far> TJ-, i'm not at the console anymore (booted in rescue) but  ...i think it stops when it needs to find the mduuid
[14:13] <Alebin> ^ data
[14:14] <never2far> root@rescue:~# grub-install /dev/sda
[14:14] <never2far> Installing for i386-pc platform.
[14:14] <never2far> grub-install: error: disk `mduuid/1329e75eeece5302a4d2adc226fd5302' not found.
[14:14] <bekks> Alebin: So your backup does not contain all your files.
[14:14] <never2far> # blkid /dev/sda2
[14:14] <never2far> /dev/sda2: UUID="1329e75e-eece-5302-a4d2-adc226fd5302" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
[14:14] <linux> grub not found
[14:14] <TJ-> never2far: I mean, has the BIOS/firmware handed over to GRUB, does GRUB display the boot menu? All these things will tell us at what stage the boot is failing
[14:14] <bekks> Alebin: How do you create your backup?
[14:15] <never2far> yes it's at the grub display
[14:15] <TJ-> never2far: check the symlinks under /dev/disk/by-uud are there
[14:15] <Alebin> bekks: original nor backup contains the files, the only thing i changed was repartitioned the win8.1 drive and installed ubuntu 15.04 where that was.. i didn't touch the ntfs storage drives in question and all the files were there before the ubuntu install
[14:16] <linux> bios is the basic input optup system
[14:16] <TJ-> never2far: If this were just happening at boot-time I'd think that GRUB hasn't included the raid modules in its core.img
[14:16] <bekks> Alebin: So whats the actuall issue now?
[14:16] <bekks> *actual
[14:16] <Alebin> bekks: well the files went missing when i installed ubuntu
[14:16] <bekks> Alebin: I strongly doubt that.
[14:16] <linux> españoll
[14:16] <Alebin> bekks: but i haven't written anything to those drives.. haven't really touched them at all; not even opened any files
[14:17] <bekks> Alebin: Ubuntu cannot be installed on NTFS, so it doesnt touch it.
[14:17] <never2far> TJ-, i think you are right ...but i have a question also ... error: disk `mduuid/ .... mduuid should be equal to what i obtain by using blkid /dev/md2 ?
[14:17] <never2far> because it's not equal :(
[14:17] <Alebin> bekks: yeah, i got rid of win8.1; it was installed on another drive all together... an ssd and partitioned ext4 and installed ubuntu there
[14:17] <linux> spanish
[14:17] <bekks> Alebin: And if the files arent in your backup anymore, it must have been quita a time they got deleted.
[14:17] <bekks> !es | linux
[14:18] <never2far> is there any way i can force grub to recheck and reinstall all ? ...grub-install trows me the same error
[14:18] <Alebin> bekks: they were in the backup and original ntfs storage drives the very moment before i reset out of win8.1 and put the ubuntu installation media in
[14:18] <TJ-> never2far: grub-probe failing to find that ID is what makes be think there's something more to this, although grub-probe tries to use the same grub modules for discovery as it uses at boot time
[14:19] <Alebin> bekks: i checked all my backups to be sure they were up to date before i did that
[14:19] <bekks> Alebin: I doubt even more that Ubuntu deletes files in your original place AND in your backup.
[14:20] <TJ-> Alebin: Was the system using the SSD as a hybrid caching front-end a.k.a the Intel 'Smart Response' caching?
[14:20] <Alebin> bekks: i know right.. but that's what it seems like happened. The only other thing i found was some ntfs-3g bug about locales, but that apparently was fixed in 2009
[14:20] <bekks> Alebin: I still believe you deleted your files some time ago, accidentially.
[14:20] <Alebin> TJ-: no, the ssd was dedicated to win8.1 solely
[14:20] <linux> beeks
[14:20] <linux> estas usando el traductor??
[14:21] <bekks> linux: ne habla espanol.
[14:21] <linux> que?
[14:21] <EriC^^> !es | linux
[14:21] <Alebin> bekks: nope, like i said i was watching one of the videos shortly before the repartition/install for ubuntu and would never delete the files.... i would never delete anything from the folder that the files were in
[14:21] <TJ-> Alebin: Are you saying *all* files have gone missing from these NTFS file-systems, or just a small sub-set?
[14:21] <bekks> linux: No hablo español.
[14:22] <linux> yo hablo algo de ingles
[14:22] <Alebin> TJ-: well right now, i know of 3
[14:22] <Alebin> TJ-: by eyeballing the size of the directory, i have a feeling there's more
[14:22] <Alebin> TJ-:  but haven't verified that yet
[14:24] <TJ-> Alebin: So the internal/external drives contain NTFS file-systems containing these files. What tool is responsible for maintaining the backup state and what triggers it to be executed?
[14:24] <linux> hello bekks
[14:25] <Alebin> TJ-: it was a windows tool, create synchronicity; that was set to never modify the source of the backup, only synchronize it to the destination on a nightly basis.
[14:26] <Alebin> Alebin: the source drive is also relatively new (about 4 months or so i guess) and i've had no other problems out of it; while the backup drive is old, probably 5+ years; but no problems out of it either
[14:27] <Alebin> TJ-: it really looks like there's something maybe the ntfs-3g doesn't like about those video files.. that's why i was checking to see if they were hidden or anything
[14:28] <TJ-> Alebin: If one of those file-systems hasn't been mounted then ntfs-3g can't have done anything
[14:28] <TJ-> Alebin: Are you sure those 'missing' files aren't simply stored in alternate NTFS streams?
[14:28] <Alebin> TJ-: well i, probably stupidly, manually mounted the source storage drive to check it
[14:29] <Alebin> TJ-: alternate ntfs streams?
[14:30] <TJ-> Alebin: sure an NTFS file can contain multiple separate streams of data; usually only the default is used, but if the data were in an alternate stream I'm not sure ntfs-3g is stream-aware
[14:31] <TJ-> Alebin: to rule that out, refer to this: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-manual/#5
[14:32] <Alebin> TJ-: yeah, that's a new one on me; i'm looking into it
[14:32] <TJ-> Alebin: I'm doubting it... but I have seen this fox users on rare occasions
[14:35] <linux>  español
[14:35] <linux> necesito ayuda en spanish
[14:35] <bekks> !es | linux
[14:36] <TJ-> Alebin: The other issue to consider is if the filename are in Win32 namespace they are legally allowed to contain a zero (0x00) byte. On Linux by default ntfs-3g will use the POSIX namespace which treats the 0x00 as the End-Of-String (EOS) character (as in C-strings).
[14:37] <TJ-> Alebin: are you able to attach the external drive to another Windows PC and check whether the files appear there? That'd be a quick way to analyse this
[14:38] <Alebin> TJ-: nope, no other windows pcs around
[14:41] <Alebin> TJ-: nope, not seeing them with the streams interface set
[14:43] <TJ-> Alebin: the only other 'hiding' possibility is the POSIX namespace issue, on that page I linked you to it shows also how to activate the windows_names namespace
[14:43] <TJ-> Alebin: I can't imagine how ntfs-3g would randomly remove the directory entries for those files, even if you tried to read the data from the files
[14:45] <DexterF> is there a "bleeding edge spanking new kernel" repository? I'd like to have 4.2 in a 15.04 machine as soon as it becomes released, any options here without compiling myself?
[14:45] <TJ-> Alebin: The only thing in that regard I could think of is if when you finally shutdown you didn't do a full poweroff shutdown (avoiding a 'faststart' hibernate shutdown), in which case the NTFS journal log may not have been flushed into the file-system.
[14:45] <TJ-> !mainline | DexterF
[14:46] <Alebin> TJ-: nope, windows_names doesn't seem to do the trick either
[14:47] <m1chael> i used dd to make a copy of a hard disk. the file ended up being exactly 250gb. the drive isn't full at all. i guess this is expected. how do programs like clonezilla and redo backup do this to produce smaller disk images (that only contain the actual data) for snapshot-like images of a hard disk?
[14:47] <TJ-> Alebin: I'm out of ideas then. Do you know the exact names of the missing files? I'm wondering if they could somehow have been cross-linked in which case a "find /path/to/ntfs/mountpoint -type f -iname '*pattern*' " might reveal them elsewhere
[14:48] <TJ-> m1chael: They recognise unused blocks and store metadata in their file-format about them
[14:48] <tomreyn> m1chael: they actually copy the file system in addition to the partition table
[14:49] <TJ-> m1chael: If I have a 1GB file-system and only 100MB is in use, I can simply store a table of unused block numbers and not copy those into the saved image
[14:49] <Alebin> TJ-: nope, find didn't return anything on them
[14:49] <TJ-> m1chael: The resulting backup will then be 100MB + my file format meta-data overhead
[14:49] <m1chael> TJ- i like that
[14:50] <TJ-> Alebin: I'm out of ideas then. If only a few files seem to not be there it's not like the file-systems have been reformatted
[14:50] <MACscr> anyone else had issues with their vlan's being renamed to renme9@bond0, etc?
[14:50] <MACscr> its really annoying and screwing up my network configs
[14:51] <TJ-> MACscr: sounds like a udevd race issue
[14:51] <MACscr> TJ-: probably. I am renaming my hardware network interfaces in general
[14:51] <MACscr> any suggestions?
[14:51] <MACscr> i need to rename them
[14:53] <TJ-> MACscr: deal with udevd - sounds like a persistent-net.rules issue
[14:54] <MACscr> TJ-: deal with it how? i have 70-persistent-net.rules setup to rename my physical network interfaces, which is working. Those obviously would rename before any actual networking is done, right? I mean, i wouldnt make sense for them not to.
[14:54] <MACscr> it*
[14:56] <TJ-> MACscr: If you've got vlan interfaces being renamed on top of other interfaces then udevd must be starting the interface renaming process and getting 'stuck' in the midst of the operation and leaving the interface in the 'rename' state
[14:56] <linux> ee
[14:57] <MACscr> im not renaming any of the vlans
[14:57] <MACscr> only the physical nics
[14:58] <TJ-> MACscr: "/lib/udev/write_net_rules" is supposed to avoid VLAN and Bridge interfaces
[14:58] <TJ-> MACscr:  that @bond0 suggests you're using Link Aggregation, is that so?
[14:59] <MACscr> yes
[14:59] <linux> I have a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin
[14:59] <MACscr> TJ-: full info http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2284121&p=13311712
[14:59] <TJ-> MACscr: so I'm guessing you've discovered a hole in udevd's renaming policy
[14:59] <linux> I need help
[15:00] <MACscr> linux: then ask an actual question
[15:01] <masgushi> i am getting APCI PCC probe failed message whenever i try o boot ubuntu 15.04
[15:01] <linux> battery applet appears in English in Ubuntu 12.04
[15:02] <linux> using the Spanish language with classic desktop environment gnome
[15:02] <TJ-> MACscr: OK ... this is a guess but ... your "70-persistent-net.rules" is matching on MAC address. Do any of those MACs get reused by the bond interfaces? if so, I can see how this might happen
[15:02] <Alebin> TJ-: well thanks for the help; i posted on the ubuntu forums, maybe someone there has another suggestion. It's a pretty weird occurence though
[15:02] <masgushi> then it goes into and says "file disk checking" or similar..and irrespective of whether i let it run or cancel it
[15:02] <TJ-> Alebin: agreed, intriguing :)
[15:03] <masgushi> it gives option of systemctl boot , systemctl default and journal ctl something
[15:03] <TJ-> linux: maybe the applet doesn't have a Spanish translation?
[15:03] <masgushi> only way to boot into ubuntu is by choosing systemctl default
[15:03] <MACscr> isnt Unity the only official one that is supported anyway?
[15:04] <MACscr> officially
[15:04] <masgushi> i read about it in forums..most say that it is harmless
[15:05] <MACscr> TJ-: when I look at ifconfig -a output, im seeing that bond0, br1, mlx1, rename9, rename10 all use the same mac address that is assigned to mlx1
[15:06] <linux> It can be, but if Unity shown in Spanish , goes classic gnome
[15:07] <TJ-> MACscr: of course, the vlans will use the same MAC address as the parent interface, which if is using one of the MAC addresses in your "70-persistent-net.rules" is going to try to be renamed but fail since an interface already exists with the target name. I think you just need to but a guard condition in there that jumps out of the file if the interface type is VLAN
[15:08] <TJ-> MACscr: maybe jumps out if the interface is a bond, too
[15:09] <MACscr> TJ-: i have no idea how that is done. any suggestions?
[15:09] <masgushi> please see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11788388/
[15:11] <random-user> Hey, I have a question concerning repositories and having up-to-date packages.
[15:12] <random-user> I'm on 14.04 and I've installed a few programming languages, namely Haskell.
[15:13] <random-user> The installed Haskell is 7.6, whereas the newest release is 7.8. I tried adding a PPA with the newest Haskell version but upon apt-get update and upgrade I was not given the option to update.
[15:13] <random-user> Same with Python 3, I'm on 3.4.0 and there's already a 3.4.2 out.
[15:13] <TJ-> MACscr: I'd think something like first line: " KERNEL=="vlan*" GOTO="end"   "    and last line: " LABEL="end"    "
[15:14] <cfhowlett> random-user, takes time for packages to be added to the mainstream repos and they often lag as you have noted.  options: 1. be patient  2. install from source
[15:14] <TJ-> MACscr: I'm not 100% sure the KERNEL name will be vlan* you'd need to check that with udevadm monitor whilst bringing up a vlan interface
[15:15] <random-user> cfhowlett: If I install from source, will I need to install from source again or is whatever's installed updated when I apt-get upgrade?
[15:16] <cfhowlett> random-user, installing from source bypasses apt management as I understand it. pretty sure you'd forced to manually take care of things
[15:18] <random-user> Ah, shit. Thanks for your help!
[15:18] <TJ-> random-user: re: the PPAs with updated versions. It may be the packages have the new version in their name to prevent conflicts with the archive packages, in which case an upgrade isn't going to install them - you'd need to install them explicitly
[15:20] <random-user> If they're labeled major.minor.patch are they labeled just with {{major}}?
[15:24] <masgushi> acpi pcc error ..anything that should be done about it?
[15:26] <TJ-> random-user: Looking at Herbery Riedel's PPA, you'd need to do "apt-get install ghc-7.8.4" to install latest stable 7.8 packages
[15:27] <random-user> If Xmonad depends on ghc will it be using the GHC that came with it or the one from the PPA?
[15:27] <TJ-> masgushi: No, it's simply reporting that the ACPI core probed for the new PCC service in the motherboard's firmware but didn't find one
[15:28] <TJ-> random-user: If the packages are correctly designed I'd think they'll make use of the 'alternatives' system to enable the user to choose which version is the default. "man update-alternatives" provides more information
[15:29] <masgushi> TJ-: ok...i am not able to boot normally and have to go through those sequence steps....  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11788388/
[15:29] <masgushi> i read on forums that it is harmless and also what you just said
[15:30] <masgushi> TJ-: is this message/error likely to get fixed by any future update or kernel upgrade ?
[15:30] <TJ-> masgushi: Your problem sounds more like something badly configured in the initial RAM disk (initrd), possibly due to the kernel update
[15:31] <TJ-> masgushi: That probe report is put there deliberately... it is informational only.
[15:31] <masgushi> ok
[15:31] <masgushi> what should be done now
[15:32] <masgushi> "badly configured in the initial RAM disk (initrd), possibly due to the kernel update"
[15:32] <masgushi> ^^is it harmful
[15:32] <masgushi> sorry i am absolute noob
[15:34] <TJ-> masgushi: I'm suggesting the update hooks that  are triggered when a new kernel is installed have somehow changed the initrd scripts and caused this, but it's hard to be sure of anything without being in front of a system in this condition. The fact you can manually cause it to start suggests that though, its not a hard-failure
[15:34] <MACscr> TJ-: sweet. Thanks for help. All i had to do was add DRIVERS=="?*" to my rules
[15:35] <masgushi> TJ-: thanks fir the help :).. could you suggest me some steps that i should take if necessary ?
[15:37] <TJ-> masgushi: the "file disk checking" suggests a file-system integrity check is in operation, and should be allowed to complete. Does the PC have large disks that might take some time to check?
[15:38] <adrmr> what is there to do here
[15:38] <masgushi> TJ-: it is a single 500GB HDD..and the file disk checking automatically aborts at 8% and goes to a black screen with those systemctl and journal options
[15:38] <TJ-> masgushi: does that not suggest that something serious might be wrong with the file-systems, or disk?
[15:39] <TJ-> masgushi: I'd suggest running the file-system checks manually before continuing the boot process. If there is an issue, you should then see more useful reports at the terminal
[15:39] <masgushi> ok :)
[15:40] <masgushi> could you tell me the commands TJ- :)
[15:40] <bodhi_zazen> Or run them from a live usb
[15:40] <TJ-> masgushi: You'd need to identify the device names containing the file-system(s), and then use "fsck /dev/sdXY" where X and Y are specific to your installation
[15:40] <masgushi> ok
[15:41] <TJ-> masgushi: As bodhi_zazen says, you'd probably be more comfortable booting a Live ISO image since you can run those commands and have access to many more powerful tools, and the Internet, at the same time
[15:42] <masgushi> TJ-: ok
[15:43] <masgushi> TJ-: i have 14.04.2 iso..should i go with that or get a more recent one like 15.04
[15:43] <adrmr> 14.04
[15:43] <masgushi> ok
[15:43] <adrmr> 15.04 still has bugs
[15:43] <TJ-> masgushi: No, that is perfect if its a Live Desktop image (not server)
[15:44] <masgushi> ok

[16:15] <Remoboth> Is there any way to check if the kernels I just blacklisted have been actually blacklisted?
[16:29] <bodhi_zazen> Remoboth, how do you blacklist a kernel ?
[16:30] <bodhi_zazen> you asking about kernel modules ?
[16:30] <Remoboth> YEs.
[16:30] <Remoboth> SOrry.
[16:30] <cemg> hello guys , i installed drop down terminal extension of gnome. but i cant create multiple tabs. CTRL+SHIFT+T doesnt work, do you guys use it ?
[16:30] <bodhi_zazen> reboot
[16:30] <Remoboth> bodhi_zazen-  Can I Check in the terminal?
[16:30] <bodhi_zazen> if they are blacklisted they will not load when you boot
[16:31] <bodhi_zazen> well, blacklisting implies preventing them from loading automatically when you boot ; so I know of no way other then to reboot
[16:31] <bekks> Unload the module.
[16:31] <bekks> No need to reboot.
[16:31] <bodhi_zazen> bekks, that is not testing blacklisting, lol
[16:32] <bekks> That is "producing the same result2.
[16:32] <azamrod> español
[16:32] <bekks> :)
[16:32] <azamrod> necesito ayuda in spanish
[16:32] <bodhi_zazen> yes, but that is not the question

[16:33] <bodhi_zazen> bekks, "<Remoboth> Is there any way to check if the kernels I just blacklisted have been actually blacklisted?"
[16:33] <cemg> hello guys , i installed drop down terminal extension of gnome. but i cant create multiple tabs. CTRL+SHIFT+T doesnt work, do you guys use it ?
[16:34] <Remoboth> O.k.
[16:34] <bekks> bodhi_zazen: The answer to that question is "lsmod", not "reboot".
[16:34] <Remoboth> I guess the second thing yu guys told me to do last week...
[16:34] <Remoboth> Was to change the file path of the kernel modules.
[16:34] <Remoboth> FOr the firewire.
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> cemg  is that tilda or guake or so?
[16:34] <cemg> no
[16:35] <cemg> its native gnome extension
[16:35] <bekks> Remoboth: "change the filepath of a kernel module"?
[16:35] <cemg> tilda doesnt work with vte 2.91 so i cant use it :(
[16:35] <Remoboth> Yes, if I remember correctly.
[16:35] <bekks> Remoboth: I am wondering how that is accomplished :)
[16:36] <masgushi> TJ-: am on live disk..i ran fsck and got some response in terminal...  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11788779/
[16:36] <cemg> https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/442/drop-down-terminal/
[16:36] <Remoboth> O.k.
[16:36] <Remoboth> Maybe I misinterpreted...
[16:36] <Remoboth> Moving onto the next issue..
[16:37] <masgushi> TJ-: i noted down some part of the error after it aborted file disk checking at 13.2% and went into black screen..  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11788771/
[16:37] <masgushi> becoz of that i chose sda6
[16:39] <TJ-> masgushi: As I thought.... you've got a major disk failure issue there
[16:39] <masgushi> oh ok
[16:40] <masgushi> so i should probably back up data..and get a new disk? or is there something else that can be done :)
[16:42] <masgushi> "Superblock last mount time is in the future. 	(by less than a day, probably due to the hardware clock being incorrectly set)  Fix<y>?
[16:42] <masgushi> ^is it some small issue?
[16:43] <jacek> Hello everyone. Got problem with my laptop hp Comapq nc6320 running on ubuntu. I do hold the system and after that I cannot bring it back. I have to hard reset. What's it problem??
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> masgushi  I had a failing external USB disk, this saved my day... it deleted some (unimportant) files and repaired the disk in doing so... careful, backup if you're not sure... sudo fsck -TV /dev/blah
[16:45] <masgushi> ok
[16:45] <tomreyn> masgushi: it's most likely a minor issue
[16:45] <tomreyn> but backups are always good to have for sure
[16:45] <masgushi> ok thanks
[16:45] <masgushi> MonkeyDust: what does " sudo fsck -TV /dev/blah " do
[16:46] <tomreyn> masgushi: install an ntp client such as the "ntp" package provides when you'Re done
[16:46] <masgushi> ok tomreyn
[16:46] <tomreyn> an ntp client makes sure your computers' time stays in sync, so it should prevent this issue from reoccurring.
[16:47] <masgushi> oh ok
[16:47] <tomreyn> that's unless you also use a different OS on this computer which does not keep it in sync
[16:47] <masgushi> i have a windows 7 in the same disk
[16:47] <Hakatoah> Heyo :P
[16:47] <masgushi> it's dual booted
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> masgushi  what I described: it deleted a corrupt file (some harmless music files in my case) and repaired the disk in doing so
[16:48] <masgushi> ok
[16:48] <Hakatoah> Which is the "best" (do you see the quote, right :D) for Web development between MacOSX or Ubuntu (Dell xps..)?
[16:48] <tomreyn> so setup windows to sync to a time server (you can do so with elevated permissions in the time preferences, acessible by clicking on the time in the main windows panel) and make it use utc for the hardware clock, or make linux use the local time for the hardware clock.
[16:49] <hypernova_> hurm
[16:49] <Hakatoah> Which is the "best" (do you see the quote, right :D) for Web development between MacOSX or Ubuntu (Dell xps..)?
[16:49] <Hakatoah> ops
[16:50] <DJones> !best | Hakatoah
[16:50] <tomreyn> masgushi: read this on how to get a permanent fix for the file system issues https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Multiple_Boot_Systems_Time_Conflicts
[16:50] <DJones> Hakatoah: It depends on your use, you need to make the deicision
[16:50] <Hakatoah> DJones: what? I know "best" is subjective
[16:51] <usuario_> windows
[16:51] <usuario_> microsoft windows

[16:55] <MonkeyDust> usuario_  let's hear it
[16:56] <ashab> Hello
[16:56] <bazhang> !precise
[17:02] <Dumle29> I seem to be having some issues with chromium when using gnome. Drop down menus in chrome open, but they are full of white (nothing) and clicking in the dropdown menu does nothing, however using my arrow keys allow me to go through the dropdown list.
[17:06] <hypernova> hello testing testin
[17:06] <hypernova> mabye my network card is now working?
[17:07] <Dumle29> seems like it
[17:07] <hypernova> hurm
[17:12] <masgushi> MonkeyDust: i actually forgot to note down the command...but i proceeded with yes in the terminal of live disk(since i had already all the back ups)
[17:12] <masgushi> could you tell me that command again :)
[17:13] <Dumle29> masgushi: How far back was it? I can check my backlog
[17:13] <masgushi> TJ-: after i proceeded with live disk and did yes to that one..i am no longer getting the file disk checking ..even though i still get the acpi pcc probe error
[17:14] <masgushi> Dumle29: would be in between 25 minutes by my guess :)
[17:14] <TJ->  masgushi: take precautions about those disk I/O errors... that suggests the drive and/or the controller have problems
[17:14] <Dumle29> masgushi: was it: 'MonkeyDust: what does " sudo fsck -TV /dev/blah " do '
[17:14] <masgushi> ok thanks Dumle29
[17:14] <masgushi> TJ-: ok
[17:14] <Dumle29> was that it?
[17:15] <masgushi> yes Dumle29
[17:15] <Dumle29> Cool :)
[17:15] <masgushi> btw i am wondering is it actually "blah"
[17:15] <Dumle29> masgushi: I think blah would be the disc you want to check
[17:15] <masgushi> yeah :)
[17:16] <Dumle29> masgushi: Something like sda, sdb, sdc, sdd, sde etc etc
[17:16] <masgushi> yes Dumle29..got it :)
[17:16] <Dumle29> I highly doubt you have anything in /dev/blah that fsck will read ;p
[17:17] <TJ-> masgushi: keep watching the kernel logs for other I/O disk errors... the disk is probably failing
[17:17] <TJ-> masgushi: you run the risk of losing all data if you don't have 100% backups
[17:18] <masgushi> ok TJ- it's been 3 years old now..i had it ubuntu 12.04 and win7 then
[17:18] <masgushi> i will take up more back ups
[17:18] <Dumle29> 3-4 years is where drive failure becomes a real concern if it's regularly used
[17:18] <masgushi> yeah..it's regularly used
[17:19] <scar> i upgraded to 14.04 LTS and the window manager is different and i'd like to switch back to the one i was using, but not sure what it was called...  i could place my mouse in the upper left corner and i would get to see all the windows i had open and switch between apps, anyone know what manager that is?
[17:19] <tertiary> I am installing Ubuntu 14.04 Server with a RAID1 (following: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/advanced-installation.html), but I cannot set the bootable flag to on. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
[17:19] <masgushi> TJ-:  i noted down some part of the initial acpi pcc probe error at the start.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11788990/
[17:19] <Dumle29> scar: That's gnome
[17:20] <gfodranoel> Hi friends
[17:20] <Dumle29> scar: If you like gnome, there's a specific ubuntu distro using that, ubuntu gnome
[17:20] <scar> Dumle29, i tried switching to gnome but it was classic version with the applications menu at the top and window list at the bottom, so it wasn't exactly that...
[17:20] <masgushi> TJ-: could not get  "error: /dev/sdb : no medium found"
[17:21] <TJ-> tertiary: bootable flag where? In an MBR partition table?
[17:21] <Dumle29> scar: I believe it's gnome 3
[17:21] <TJ-> masgushi: not sure about that; looks like something expects to find a device on /dev/sdb
[17:21] <masgushi> hmm..ok
[17:22] <scar> Dumle29, ok, well the package "gnome" isn't installed so i'll try that
[17:22] <tertiary> Yes
[17:22] <bonhoeffer> after i run visudo and change settings, ubuntu prompts me to save to a .tmp is this the correct way to go?
[17:22] <Dumle29> scar: I'm running GNOME Shell 3.14.4
[17:22] <tonyyarusso> bonhoeffer: yes
[17:22] <bonhoeffer> how does that work tonyyarusso ?
[17:23] <bonhoeffer> and how would i use emacs?
[17:23] <tmotomm> Hey y'all. I'm trying to move /home to a new partition. I am following the ubuntu guide but I ran into the problem of dir already exists when i tried to create a new directory
[17:23] <Dumle29> scar: Try sudo apt-cache policy gnome-shell
[17:23] <scar> Dumle29, not installed
[17:23] <Dumle29> and it's 3.14.4 thats available?
[17:23] <tonyyarusso> bonhoeffer: visudo is a wrapper that makes sure you know what you're doing so you don't lock yourself out.  It saves to a temp file, then runs syntax checks against that to make sure it's still valid before moving it into the real file location.
[17:24] <bonhoeffer> tonyyarusso: oops -- so i overwrote sudoers
[17:24] <bonhoeffer> like a fool . . . (why is it asking for temp . .  )
[17:24] <bonhoeffer> but it doesn't look like the right change took -- is there a service to restart?
[17:24] <scar> Dumle29, i see gnome-shell:i386 3.10.4-0ubuntu5.2 available, but im using 14.04 LTS
[17:25] <tonyyarusso> bonhoeffer: If the change was for a user currently logged in, they'd have to log out and back in again I believe.
[17:25] <Dumle29> scar: Ah, I'm using 15.04. I'm not entirely sure if it's as simple as "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" You'd have to ask the others in here :)
[17:25] <bonhoeffer> hmm . . . tonyyarusso -- it is for an ssh login
[17:25] <bonhoeffer> so that should be working
[17:26] <scar> Dumle29, i'm installing "gnome" right now so we'll see if that does it....
[17:26] <Dumle29> I don't believe I have that installed
[17:26] <Dumle29> nope. I don't
[17:26] <flk> what's time
[17:27] <Dumle29> flk: One definition could be: the system of those sequential relations that any event has to any other, as past, present, or future; indefinite and continuous duration regarded as that in which events succeed one another.
[17:28] <Dumle29> scar: http://itsfoss.com/how-to-install-gnome-in-ubuntu-14-04/
[17:28] <Dumle29> scar: It looks like sudo apt-get install gnome-shell is the best way to go, as it's easily reverseable
[17:29] <scar> Dumle29, thanks i'll try that
[17:30] <Dumle29> scar: Might I recomend flat studio dark for gnome? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=154296
[17:31] <scar> Dumle29, yeah i like dark themes.... how do i install that?
[17:32] <Dumle29> You put the folder in ~.themes/
[17:32] <masgushi> TJ-: how could i view kernel logs? any commands or anything
[17:32] <Dumle29> sorry ~/.themes/
[17:33] <TJ-> masgushi: from a terminal: "ls -latr /var/log/" will list the logs files most-recently-updated last. "less /var/log/<filename>" will let you view and scroll through it (see "man less"). For kernel issues, see "/var/log/dmesg" for just the boot-time messages, and "/var/log/kern.log" for ongoing kernel messages
[17:34] <masgushi> ok..thanks
[17:35] <noob56kbps> hello i have a problem the pc doesnt want to do apt-get steam it s send an error
[17:35] <bonhoeffer> what do i need to do if i want to make it so a user doesn't need to type their password to sudo
[17:35] <Dumle29> noob56kbps: what error?
[17:35] <bonhoeffer> tim ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL in sudoers seems wrong
[17:36] <masgushi> thanks for all the help TJ- Dumle29 bodhi_zazen MonkeyDust Termana and others :)
[17:36] <BluesKaj_> bonhoeffer, it works
