[15:46] <motaka2> cfhowlett: Media change: please insert the disc labeled
[15:46] <motaka2>  'Ubuntu 14.04 LTS _Trusty Tahr_ - Release i386 (20140417)'
[15:46] <motaka2> in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter
[15:46] <MrCeeIII> the video plays with no sound and checked the audio setting a bunch of times
[15:46] <cfhowlett> motaka2, disable the cdroms in your sources list.
[15:46] <nitish> can anyone give me the link of donate for the irc?
[15:46] <zykotick9> minasota: so what happens if you "cat rsync-quick-guide"?
[15:47] <minasota> zykotick9: it's strange why it will not open. I tried cat and it doesn't work
[15:48] <SchrodingersScat> !donate | nitish
[15:48] <zykotick9> minasota: "doesn't work"? does it give an error?  does "ls -s rsync-quick-guide" show size to the file?
[15:49] <monsune> The following packages will be REMOVED:
[15:49] <monsune>   proxmox-ve-2.6.32 pve-manager
[15:49] <monsune> what exactly happens to my running openvz machines when i allow that?
[15:49] <monsune> will i be able to remove and install again without breaking them or stopping them?
[15:51] <TJ-> monsune: no, if the packages are removed the services are gone
[15:51] <minasota> zykotick9: That's the problem, I can't use any commands on the file. No autocompletion or anything. So, I can't get file size od the file because even if I type it in with hitting tab, it  acts like it's not there
[15:51] <MrCeeIII> SchrodingersScat:  how do i open avconv
[15:52] <monsune> TJ- that's pretty bad :( i screwed something in there and i need to "reset" all the files in proxmox
[15:52] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, it's a command line tool.  avconv -i filename
[15:52] <monsune> TJ- would you happen to know a solution? i just need to overwrite all the files with default ones from proxmox-ve-2.6.32 and pve-manager
[15:52] <MrCeeIII> oh ok,... well can you think of anything else i can try?
[15:52] <zykotick9> minasota: well good luck, i don't have any other suggestions/guesses...
[15:52] <minasota> zykotick9: I guess I could get the file size with *guide
[15:53] <MrCeeIII> the issue is .wmv files playing without any sound
[15:53] <minasota> zykotick9: ok, thanks for your help
[15:54] <MrCeeIII> plays dvds plaws Wow and music fine...
[15:54] <monsune> is it possible to force apt to reinstall a package when it is installed?
[15:54] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, mplayer filename.wmv
[15:54] <TJ-> minasota: what does "stat rsync-quick-guide" report?
[15:54] <cfhowlett> monsune, sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename
[15:54] <TJ-> monsune: "apt-get --reinstall install <package>"
[15:54] <fatalityfayjin> #177
[15:55] <monsune> cfhowlett, TJ- that looks great.. but will it remove first or just overwrite?
[15:55] <SchrodingersScat> MrCeeIII: have you confirmed that the soundtrack has something to play? ie. it plays on other devices?
[15:55] <TJ-> monsune: over-write
[15:55] <cfhowlett> monsune, overwrite.
[15:55] <MrCeeIII> let me try it on my windows machine
[15:55] <monsune> cfhowlett, TJ- so possible that could fix my files in proxmox...
[15:56] <TJ-> monsune: config files won't be replaced unless you add options to force that
[15:56] <monsune> there is some crazy mess with libs or whatever, i can't even use pveversion now
[15:56] <cfhowlett> monsune, I know nothing about proxmox ... sorry
[15:56] <monsune> cfhowlett ok but thank you for the hint with reinstallation
[15:56] <monsune> TJ- i was going to ask about that
[15:57] <SchrodingersScat> MrCeeIII: just going off the info I saw, avconv recognized an audio track within the file, presumably after you used -strict experimental it converted whatever was there to aac, unless there were errors.
[15:57] <monsune> TJ- so it shouldn't touch anything like configs and reset my openvz machines?
[15:57] <monsune> i'm still very worried
[16:04] <g105b_> My laptop has a combined (phone style) 3.5mm audio jack, when I plug my microphone in, it thinks it is headphones... is there a way to switch it to microphone mode?
[16:07] <nitish> Is there an official twitter handle of Mark Shuttleworth?
[16:08] <nitish> g105b_: you can use an external jack.
[16:09] <nitish> Is there any other light-weight browser availble except chromium and firefox?
[16:09] <motaka2> cfhowlett: is it upgrading to 14.04?
[16:10] <nitish> How can I disconnect connected wifi network throught terminal?
[16:11] <TJ-> g105b_: you'd need to use a 4-ring barrel plug wired correctly so that the PC can sense there's a microphone attached
[16:11] <TJ-> nitish: "nmcli con down id <NAME>"
[16:12] <nitish> TJ- how to get name of connected wifi?
[16:12] <TJ-> nitish: "nmcli con show" - look under the NAME column
[16:13] <nitish> TJ- its not showing any network name.
[16:13] <nitish> its showing someting else
[16:13] <nitish> its showing Usage: nmcli connection { COMMAND | help } COMMAND := { list | status | up | down | delete }
[16:13] <nitish> list [id <id> | uuid <id>] status [id <id> | uuid <id> | path <path>] up id <id> | uuid <id> [iface <iface>] [ap <BSSID>] [--nowait] [--timeout <timeout>] down id <id> | uuid <id> delete id <id> | uuid <id>
[16:14] <TJ-> nitish: oh, you have an older version. "nmcli con list"
[16:15] <nitish> TJ-: yes now its showing the names of all network.
[16:15] <monsune> TJ- wow i managed to slightly fix it by installing newest libpve-common-perl
[16:16] <cfhowlett> motaka2, again:  dist-upgrade DOES NOT upgrade to 14.04.
[16:16] <cfhowlett> motaka2, sudo do-release-upgrade will
[16:16] <monsune> TJ- still get some errors though... how do i know what else libs to upgrade...
[16:18] <nitish> TJ- after enter nmcli con down id <uuid> its showing error: <uuid>
[16:18] <nitish> TJ-: after enter nmcli con down id <uuid> its showing error: unknown connection <uuid>
[16:19] <tachyondecay> I've discovered I'll need to format my HD and reinstall Windows before I dual boot with Ubuntu. I don't have time to do that at the moment, so I'm looking into virtualizing Ubuntu on Windows 10. I'm having trouble finding documentation that isn't about Ubuntu server though.
[16:20] <motaka2> cfedde: what is it doing then?
[16:21] <auronandace> !dist-upgrade | motaka2
[16:23] <anglebert> hello everyone. I'm running lubuntu 15.10. I'm trying to change default theme and icons and even default font. I read that I'll I needed to do was create a .themes directory in home folder.
[16:23] <MrCeeIII> still
[16:23] <MrCeeIII> ther
[16:24] <anglebert> But, when I open lxappearance for customize look and feel and go to widget, it only makes a slight change to the windows. Hardly noticeable. This theme I downloaded is gtk-2.0+, so I'm wondering if maybe I'm shouldn't be using gtk-2.0 themes.
[16:28] <TJ-> tachyondecay: sounds strange; why would it neeed a re-format and re-install?
[16:31] <tachyondecay> TJ-: You helped me on Thursday. I'm the one with the buggy firmware and Intel SRT
[16:34] <TJ-> tachyondecay: oh yeah! I'd forgotten :)
[16:34] <game0> guys, I have installed postgresql on my ubuntu
[16:34] <tachyondecay> TJ-: Haha, I'm not surprised. I'm sure you see a lot of people in and out of here.
[16:34] <TJ-> tachyondecay: didn't think disabling the SRT required a reinstall though, from what I had read
[16:34] <game0> and I want to connect to my server
[16:34] <game0> using pgadmin tool
[16:35] <game0> can someone help me
[16:35] <tachyondecay> TJ-: I can't find a way to disable SRT. :-/
[16:35] <game0> I'm using ubuntu server 15.10
[16:35] <TJ-> tachyondecay: typical Windows :D
[16:35] <tachyondecay> So I can switch my SSD from "RAID" mode to "AHCI" in the BIOS
[16:36] <tachyondecay> But that will break Windows. Which I'm fine with doing, just not this weekend. ;) So I want to try virtualizing Ubuntu, temporarily
[16:36] <anglebert> upon further sleuthing, I think I found what I'm looking for: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Theming --> [SOLVED]
[16:36] <TJ-> tachyondecay: if the hypervisor will allow you to attach partitions as devices, you should be able to do it
[16:37] <tachyondecay> Is that built into Windows 10?
[16:37] <tachyondecay> I was going to use VirtualBox
[16:37] <tachyondecay> But I'm having trouble locating a VM image for 15.10
[16:38] <TJ-> tachyondecay: Something like VirtualBox or VMWare
[16:38] <TJ-> tachyondecay: you would install from the standard ISO image file, mounted on the VM Guest as a DVD
[16:41] <tachyondecay> Ah, I see now
[16:41] <tachyondecay> And I think I've found a guide for how to do it
[16:41] <tachyondecay> That was the part I was missing, because I've only ever used premade VM images before.
[16:42] <tachyondecay> OK, let's give this a try!
[16:43] <tachyondecay> Also I can't believe Firefox is using half a gig of RAM.
[16:43]  * tachyondecay stares at it.
[16:44] <VanessaNaire> I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 on a Macbook7,1. It keeps hanging when I attempt a reboot. It was doing the same thing on shutdown, but editing the GRUB config with this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off" fixed that. I still can't seem to figure out how to do essentially the same thing for reboots as well. Any ideas?
[16:46] <tachyondecay> TJ-: Hmm, I've found a very recent forum thread talking about my problem on the exact same machine as me. This post seems to indicate I might be able to restore access to my Windows install without reformatting after I switch to AHCI mode: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2301071&page=4&p=13389664#post13389664 Would you mind just skimming through that to see if there's any gotchas I'm missing?
[16:47] <cdk_> how do i enable overclocking when i cant find the xorg.config in the /ect/x11/ directory?
[16:49] <BluesKaj> there is no X11 dir on the latest ubuntus afaik
[16:49] <cdk_> how do i enable overclocking when i cant find the xorg.config in the /ect/x11/ directory?
[16:49] <harishkrupo> the directory is /etc/X11
[16:50] <OerHeks> xorg.config <> xorg.conf ... this is not generated automaticly, but you can yourself, with the nvidia/ati tool
[16:50] <autoit> hey!i have a dualboot setup. my hdd makes normal sound in windows. but when i boot into ubuntu the sound is much louder. it sounds like normal read/write only but much louder. any help? smart params of hdd are good.
[16:51] <cdk_> yes and within that directory i dont see the xorg.config file
[16:51] <TJ-> tachyondecay: That does look promising, although some comments later say they suffer BSODs
[16:51] <OerHeks> switch to console mode: Alt+Ctrl+F1. kill x server: sudo service lightdm stop # generate new xorg.conf file: sudo X -configure -- this will create xorg.conf.new file in your current dir. rename and move: sudo mv xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
[16:52] <OerHeks> = manually method
[16:52] <OerHeks> but overclocking, good luck.
[16:54] <cdk_> ok but bthen it shows up with an xorg.config and one that is a back up with nvidia org in its name then xserver trys to use both
[16:54] <OerHeks>  xorg.config ??
[16:55] <OerHeks> oh boy
[16:56] <cdk_> yes i end up with it and a nvidia orginal xorg backup and it then screws up my resolutoin
[16:56] <earl---> So asking for a friend. During installation, he formated the NTFS windows partition as EXT4 by accident. Can he recover his data or is he screwed
[16:57] <VanessaNaire> Yea that data's pretty much lost.
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> earl---  recover
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> hm
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> !recover | earl---
[16:58] <tachyondecay> TJ-: Thanks for taking a look. I think that's a risk worth taking; worst comes to worst I have to backup the Ubuntu install and then do the total reformat/repartitionin/reinstall Windows. But I might not have to!
[16:58] <VanessaNaire> Any ideas on my rebooting issue?
[16:58] <VanessaNaire> I've read that there's a field for reboot on the old GRUB1 config that might have fixed it. Is there a GRUB2 equivalent?
[16:59] <darkxploit> /etc/default/grub
[17:00] <earl---> Ok. So the data is basically gone. Thanks though guys, figured it was worth asking.
[17:00] <VanessaNaire> That's not a file @darkxploit
[17:00] <earl---> Have a good one
[17:01] <OerHeks> acpi-off means the system does nothing with acpi calls, like shutdown. you must manually press the powerbutton at the end.
[17:03] <rey> alguém br ?
[17:03] <OerHeks> !br
[17:03] <bekks> !pt | rey
[17:03] <VanessaNaire> @OerHeks but it actually turns the Macbook off when I shutdown with acpi=off
[17:03] <bekks> Ah.
[17:04] <OerHeks> you are right, bekks
[17:05] <OerHeks> but that line is not even a sentence in portugese too.
[17:05] <MonkeyDust> it's obrigado, not obrigada, iirc
[17:07] <anabain> Hi, I need some advice/general directions in order to be able to connect from a remote ubuntu PC (or also an android device, if possible) to my home LAN (consisting of 2 ubuntu boxes) through my dd-wrt router (flashed to the latest giga firmware). To achieve connection through the internet I'll be trying freedns.afraid.org . As for the kind of connections, I'd like to ssh to both boxes and I also want to wake-on-lan them remotely. Is that
[17:07] <anabain>  possible?
[17:07] <rey> obrigado pessoal
[17:09] <VanessaNaire> @anabain so long as you've configured your ports correctly and that router supports port forwarding.
[17:09] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Is it worth installing "Ubuntu Restricted Extras"? Why? Why not?
[17:09] <gsagie> Hello, i found this package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/etcd   , what do i need to do so i could do "apt-get install etcd" and it will work? how can i add this package to my repository
[17:09] <VanessaNaire> Though remember, you'll need to set the second Ubuntu box to a non-default ssh
[17:09] <OerHeks> VictoriaXOXO, if you don't need it, don't.
[17:10] <nbusrone> TJ- : sorry for coming back late which I promise. Going back to the USB3.0 wakeup port , I just need to do type this echo disabled | sudo dd of=/sys/bus/devices/4-1" ?
[17:10] <VanessaNaire> *non-default ssh port
[17:10] <VictoriaXOXO> OerHeks: Well, I'm interested in what "Microsoft font" will do. Do you know?
[17:10] <anabain> VanessaNaire, to avoid conflict?
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> VictoriaXOXO  i never noticed that i did not have thel installed... which is a good thing... until i suddenly found out and did install them
[17:11] <OerHeks> some applications need them, and some webpages.
[17:11] <VictoriaXOXO> MonkeyDust: Oh, okay. Do you know what "Microsoft fonts" do?
[17:11] <OerHeks> and documents
[17:11] <VictoriaXOXO> OerHeks: Oh.
[17:12] <VictoriaXOXO> OerHeks: Well, it can't hurt to install the extras?
[17:12] <VanessaNaire> @anabain Yes.
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> VictoriaXOXO  ms fonts makes you pay for everything you type
[17:12] <egggs> the restricted extras is a touchy  subject,  if u want a true free machine don't install it. it installs  things that are not free.
[17:12] <OerHeks> VictoriaXOXO, no, can't hurt, it is one of the 1st steps to get all multimedia stuff
[17:13] <VictoriaXOXO> MonkeyDust: What do you mean? :(
[17:13] <VictoriaXOXO> egggs: Well. :P
[17:13] <VictoriaXOXO> OerHeks: Thanks.
[17:13] <Aison> hmm, I disabled lightdm with systemctl disable lightdm.service
[17:13] <Aison> now I can no longer enable it?!?
[17:13] <OerHeks> but if you want to go proffessional, you might not want all the packages due to licenses, this differs per country
[17:13] <VictoriaXOXO> MonkeyDust: Wait a minute! You're messing with me, huh? XD
[17:13] <egggs> if you want to play dvds or  certain  music formats   you will have to install it .  for me i install it.
[17:13] <VictoriaXOXO> OerHeks: No, I'm just a noob.
[17:14] <Cinnamon> hello ladies and gents, I installed kgpg and changed gnupg permissions as instructed. and then I got this error when starting kgpg: 'GnuPG failed to start. You must fix the GnuPG error first before running KGpg.' how can I fix this?

[17:14] <VictoriaXOXO> OerHeks: MonkeyDust: egggs: Why does it say "pulls in support for MP3 playback..."? I can already play those files! :/
[17:15] <OerHeks> only VLC can play them standalone.
[17:15] <OerHeks> else you want those codecs.
[17:15] <VictoriaXOXO> OerHeks: I'm playing them in "Videos" now.

[17:24] <Molar_Mass> Hi,  I have a friend using Ubuntu who put off an update for a while and ended up doing a partial upgrade.  Now, when they reboot they can't log in unless they enter the terminal, and then trying to startx leads to an error about not being to insert module 'nvidia-352'.  Has anyone heard of something like this happening before?

[17:26] <momomo> i am trying to install vlc from sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily
[17:26] <momomo> i added it .. but it appears as if I am still getting the vlc from ubuntu reposiotry
[17:26] <momomo> how can I install vlc from tasht repoistory ?
[17:27] <egggs> did u update list 1st?
[17:27] <momomo> yes
[17:27] <BluesKaj> momomo, the VLC from the repos should suffice
[17:27] <egggs> and  accept new  ppa by the default enter?
[17:28] <VanessaNaire> @Molar_Mass try running "sudo apt-get install -f" from the terminal. This should fix broken packages, then try doing the update again from the terminal using "sudo apt-get install upgrade"
[17:28] <momomo> BluesKaj, not for me
[17:28] <BluesKaj> momomo, and why not ?
[17:29] <momomo> this is really not relevant, but if you must know .. a certain plugin only works in > 2.2

[17:29] <data`> hey, I know it's EOLed, but is there a utopic mirror somewhere still alive?   There's nothing in the logs (I suspect because it freezes before it can log anything) and I've run Memtest which was fine
[17:36] <VanessaNaire> Is there a way to mount an OSX partition in Ubuntu, or do the reverse, mount a ext4 partition in OSX? I want to store files in a location accessible by both operating systems.
[17:37] <VanessaNaire> Nevermind, I think I'm just going to resize my OS X partition and add a FAT32 partition to store my shared files in.
[17:37] <Molar_Mass> @VannessaNaire I have actually dual booted ubuntu and mac once, and you have to set up a separate Data partition (I'll go check, but I think it has to be NTFS).  Mac can't read ext4 I think
[17:37] <VictoriaXOXO> [0xBEAKER]: How many passes of memtest?
[17:38] <[0xBEAKER]> Just finished it's first pass, but I'm letting it run
[17:38] <[0xBEAKER]> How many would be considered good?
[17:38] <VictoriaXOXO> [0xBEAKER]: When I do it, I start it before going to bed and let it run all night. Don't know exactly how many passes that would be.
[17:39] <VictoriaXOXO> But that's just me and just to be sure. :P
[17:39] <[0xBEAKER]> Makes sense, I'll let it run a few more
[17:40] <VictoriaXOXO> [0xBEAKER]: Weird how you sometimes WISH there would be some errors in there. Much easier to replace RAM than to troubleshoot something extremely hard issue. :(

[17:45] <Molar_Mass> I still have the question about the broken update with the problem with xorg conf
[17:45] <moonpunter> Does anyone know: after you get the quickly-ubuntu-templates package installed, where is the default ubuntu-project template located, what are the file extensions to look for, or how to verify I have the package installed properly. I'm trying to use quickly because it SOUNDS like it will be easier than going through all the steps manually, but i'm this close to just going the other way...

[18:03] <the_count> VictoriaXOXO: In what way am I spying? ... Or are you talking about in some countries?

[18:03] <VictoriaXOXO> the_count: No, not you. The service you suggested. :P

[18:04] <the_count> VictoriaXOXO: In this day, Google is a verb... Really, no one says Bing it, or yahoo it, or

[18:05] <hk_> Is there a Chinese? I can't speak English
[18:06] <the_count> nitish: Clarification, use a search engine in which you find yourself obtaining the privacy you deserve

[18:08] <zidsal> does anyone have the time to help me get wifi working on my laptop? I have a broadcom card so it doesn't work be default. I've tried installing bcmwl-kernel-source, b43-fwcutter, firmware-b43-installer, however none of them are working. I've currently just done a fresh reinstall

[18:09] <ille> qwesd: is not 80 anymore
[18:10] <qwesd> ille: i dont get you
[18:10] <ille> qwesd: is no worre where u paste your things on the disk. is not 1980 anymore
[18:11] <JaredFTW> If you go to the network button, make sure you have Enable Network and Enable Wi-Fi checked
[18:12] <Bashing-om> the_count: Let us look and see where the space is being consumed before making any changes  ' cd / ; sudo du -sx * | sort -n ' .

[18:12] <qwesd> ille: actually my hdd makes quite a lot of noise when booted into ubuntu. when booted in windows its very quiet but in ubuntu i can hear the i/o operations. i dont know why this is happening. its not clicking sound just normal i/o but loud
[18:12] <dbeginer> i am getting this error dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:12] <zidsal> JaredFTW I have wifi currently worming by tethering to my phone and ebabled networking is ticked
[18:12] <zidsal> enabled*
[18:12] <nitish> How can i see all packages I've installed(not inbuilt)?
[18:13] <zidsal> the lack of internet is a known issue with broadcome networking cards
[18:13] <g0th> hi
[18:13] <dbeginer> i am trying to run sudo apt-get update. i am getting this error "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." what am i supposed to do ??
[18:14] <the_count> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13401018/
[18:14] <zidsal> dbeginer what was the last thing you tried to install? it wasn't bcmwl-kernel-source was it?
[18:14] <game0> guys, how to search a word inside file using nano
[18:14] <JaredFTW> I'd recommend sending the card to broadcome for repairs, or buying a new one, you might have to buy a USB wi-fi dongle until either one comes
[18:15] <dbeginer> no i didn't do anything like that
[18:15] <Bashing-om> nitish: Maybe something like ' dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages ' Also there is 'debfoster' .
[18:15] <zidsal> JaredFTW the card is not broken. It works fine under windows. This is a driver issue with linux it is well documentated on the internet

[18:15] <g0th> How do I setup bluetooh audio for ubuntu?
[18:15] <g0th> I tried blueman and it worked at the beginning but now it no longer works (the device is never found)
[18:15] <g0th> any idea why?
[18:15] <nitish> Bashing-om: what is debfoster?
[18:15] <adam444> how can I get rid of the title bar in opera?
[18:15] <dbeginer> zidsal : no i didn't install anything like that
[18:16] <g0th> I'm on Ubuntu 15.10
[18:16] <JaredFTW> zidsal: try uninstalling the broadcome drivers and find better ones on the internet
[18:16] <zidsal> dbeginer nevermind then I recently had an issue like that where the installing of an old package didn't install correctly
[18:16] <MichaelTun> anyone in here using Ubuntu 14.04 that would be willing to test something for me? Would take less than 2 minutes.
[18:17] <qwesd> my hdd makes quite a lot of noise when booted into ubuntu. when booted in windows its very quiet but in ubuntu i can hear the i/o operations. i dont know why this is happening. its not clicking sound just normal i/o but loud
[18:17] <dbeginer> zidsal : how did you get over with it ? will it effect working or something ?
[18:17] <JaredFTW> qwesd: are there several programs starting up on startup, like Skype, Steam, etc?
[18:17] <zidsal> JaredFTW the correct package to install to fix this is bcmwl-kernel-source or b43-fwcutter or firmware-b43-installer depending on what broadcome card you have however none of them work which makes me suspect something like a blacklist
[18:18] <zidsal> dbeginer I'll find you the command I had to run in a second
[18:18] <qwesd> JaredFTW: no additional programs. i can hear any time i open a folder or browser basically read and write ops
[18:18] <zidsal> dbeginer what happens when you run sudo dpkg -C
[18:18] <droid> hola
[18:18] <droid> alguien que pueda ayudarme
[18:19] <Guest80775> soy nuevo con el Xubuntu
[18:19] <JaredFTW> zidsal: try running sudo apt-get repair or update, I honestly have no other ideas
[18:19] <linocisco> hi
[18:19] <MichaelTun> Guest80775:  you should join #Ubuntu-es
[18:19] <dbeginer> zidsal : The following packages are in a mess due to serious problems during installation.  They must be reinstalled for them (and any packages that depend on them) to function properly:  ttf-mscorefonts-installer (no description available)  The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured. They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure menu option in dselect for them to work:  cabextract
[18:20] <dbeginer> zidsal : it return this
[18:20] <dbeginer> zidsal : The following packages are missing the md5sums control file in the database, they need to be reinstalled:  ttf-mscorefonts-installer (no description available)
[18:20] <zidsal> I don't know what those packages do so you'll want to find out before I had a similar problem when my installer meesed up to fix it I had to run sudo dpkg -r <PACKAGE NAME>
[18:20] <JaredFTW> qwesd: there might be something wrong with the sector that you have Ubuntu installed on
[18:21] <dbeginer> zidsal : what to do now ? sorry for irritating i am complete beginer in linux !
[18:21] <pauljw> dbeginer: did you try the solution in the original error?  i find that apt-get is pretty good at getting problems figured out.
[18:21] <qwesd> JaredFTW: all smart parameters of the drive are good. i have run scans on the drive and all show 0 bad sectors
[18:22] <qwesd> JaredFTW: reallocation count is also 0
[18:22] <g0th> how do I setup bluetooth audio in ubuntu?
[18:22] <nitish> Is there any racing game  available?
[18:22] <g0th> It worked once with blueman (quite ok) but now it doesn't find any devices anymore :(
[18:22] <dbeginer> pauljw : The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems configuring them the first time.  The configuration should be retried using dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:  runit                system-wide service supervision
[18:22] <Guest6785> How can I be the president of USA again?
[18:22] <zidsal> dbeginer I don't want to lead you down the wrong path as I am not too sure

[18:23] <GNUmad> g0th: maybe this help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio
[18:23] <BarrackObama> How to update ubuntu to newer version?
[18:23] <dbeginer> pauljw : can you guide me how to fix this ? yesterday i had issue with runit and i use force removel command i think i had deleted runit package can you tell how to put it back again ?
[18:23] <the_count> eBashing-om: What do you think?
[18:24] <JaredFTW> qwesd: do you have a really really big amount of files/folders? if so, it might be the file explorer pre-loading them in the background, I honestly have no idea
[18:24] <dbeginer> zidsal : The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems configuring them the first time.  The configuration should be retried using dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:  runit                system-wide service supervision

[18:25] <Bashing-om> nitish: ' apt-cache show debfoster ' will give you better info than I can .
[18:25] <qwesd> JaredFTW: i don't its just 10gb at max. i can seem to figure out whats wrong :(
[18:25] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: great.
[18:25] <zidsal> as I said dbeginer I don't want to lead you down the wrong path as I don't know what those packages do however what I had to do ti fix my similar issue was to remove the package with sudo dpkg -r <package name> anbd then reinstall the package
[18:26] <g0th> GNUmad: I already read that page
[18:26] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4 I need you to run two commands for me and give me the output of the command.
[18:26] <g0th> GNUmad: what I don't understand is why blueman no longer finds my device
[18:26] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun Lets see those commands...
[18:26] <pauljw> dbeginer: you're in over my head.  sorry.
[18:27] <dbeginer> coeus@ubuntu:~$ dpkg --configure runit dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege ... i am getting this error trying to configure runit how to do it ?

[18:27] <the_count> Bashing-om: What should it be?
[18:28] <OfficeFanBoy> Hello all. i will copy paste my question also here.
[18:28] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: then I want to see if apt will let you install with that command too like "sudo apt install uget" (don't need to install it, just let me know if it says it will or not)
[18:28] <OfficeFanBoy> I have one question about regular expression (regex|regexp). Hmmm... how i can add backspace to replace? search"[:alpha:]$". Because if i use plain "$" it will connect all lines to single line.
[18:28] <pauljw> dbeginer: that means use sudo dpkg --configure runit
[18:28] <OfficeFanBoy> in libreoffice
[18:28] <OfficeFanBoy> i want to only connect lines where is text together
[18:28] <the_count> Bashing-om: I do have a kvm virstual machine which is located in /var/libvirt/somethingorother
[18:28] <dbeginer> pauljw : coeus@ubuntu:~$ dpkg --configure runit dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege.. it shows this error
[18:29] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun :http://paste.ubuntu.com/13401292/
[18:29] <pauljw> dbeginer: you get that when using sudo?

[18:30] <the_count> Bashing-om: In kb, right?
[18:30] <pauljw> dbeginer: sudo is what gives you superuser privilege
[18:30] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: NICE no need to test install then

[18:31] <the_count> Bashing-om: That clean up did nothing
[18:31] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: try one more thing for me if you dont mind, "man apt"

[18:34] <the_count> Bashing-om: I have a 10.7gb kvm image inside /var/lib/libvirt/images, would that do it?
[18:34] <Bashing-om> the_count: All I can advise at this point is to start removing applications that you do not use . We must get that disk space down to something manageable .. As advised at 90% file system becomes fragmented .
[18:34] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun : got the man page
[18:35] <the_count> Bashing-om: I'm moving things off now
[18:35] <Bashing-om> the_count: /var is huge .. no doubt at " 11906596var " .

[18:36] <GNUmad> sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base
[18:36] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun : I have this system working pretty good. plex server and 1tb additional hdd
[18:36] <Bashing-om> the_count: we might look at the number of old log files there .. maybe cron is not removing the oldest files ???
[18:38] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun : do you have any idea why apps dont appear in the search or (for a lack of a better term) start menu
[18:39] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: does the man page contain the same information that the --help did?
[18:39] <g0th> GNUmad: no I haven't but that's not my problem
[18:39] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: try pressing Super+A instead of just Super (aka Windows key) and then try searching for apps
[18:39] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun:  no there is much more info in the man page
[18:40] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: does the man page include the install info though?
[18:41] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13401557/
[18:41] <g0th> GNUmad: ok, I got some different behavior but now it says "failed to connect"
[18:41] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun Yes it does
[18:42] <g0th> resp. failed to add device
[18:42] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: great thank you for the assistance. Did the Super+A work?
[18:43] <flyn4x4> michaeltun    No it doesnt show any apps

[18:45] <g0th> I now managed to add the device again

[18:46] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: what is it that you are trying to find?
[18:47] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: oh you are saying no apps display at all even before searching?
[18:47] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun: Konversation, chrome, disks     heck i havent tried all the apps i have but to get konversation to run i had to go to the commandline

[18:48] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun thats right
[18:48] <MichaelTun> Konversation, are you using KDE or just using Konversation in Ubuntu?
[18:48] <g0th> hmm and now it works again, I don't know why
[18:48] <g0th> it seems kind of a random behavior
[18:48] <flyn4x4> konversation in ubuntu
[18:48] <g0th> and now it doesn't work *g*
[18:48] <g0th> great
[18:49] <Bashing-om> the_count: Log files .. take a lok at what is ' ls -al /var/log/ ' should not have files older than "XX.7.gz" .
[18:49] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: first good choice, Konversation is the best. second can you open apps via Alt+F2?
[18:49] <flyn4x4> good to know i have been using ubuntu for years and still learning
[18:50] <the_count> Bashing-om: I assume older than .7 means numbers lessthan 7, there is quite a few... http://paste.ubuntu.com/13401700/
[18:51] <tgm4883> Anyone know of a way to specify a build-depends only for a particular architecture?
[18:51] <GNUmad> g0th: maybe rfkill unblock bluetooth
[18:52] <flyn4x4> yes alt+f2 works
[18:52] <Bashing-om> the_count: Fir stean ' sudo apt-get install libglapi-mesa:i386 ; . See what results . Var: .8,9, 10 's ???
[18:53] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: try installing MenuLibre via "sudo apt install menulibre" it will let you edit your system's menu entries. It might also let you see if any of the entries are set to "hide entry".
[18:54] <flyn4x4> so does apt work the same as apt-get just fancy er
[18:54] <Bashing-om> the_count: Log files are large, but in order .. not a lot to be done for the long term . We can dis-regard the log files .

[18:55] <g0th> GNUmad: I give up, this is already my second bluetooth audio set, somehow it doesn't work properly in linux
[18:55] <anabain> Can you set up a VPN like this:  remote ubuntu box -> ddns server -> the internet -> dd-wrt router with ddns client ? I mean, does the ddns service (free or $) restrict that kind of connection in any way?
[18:55] <g0th> hmm it works from my android phone though
[18:55] <the_count> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13401811/
[18:56] <g0th> GNUmad: basically it randomly fails and I have to try "random" resets/restarts/reload of various applications/services/settings

[19:00] <flyn4x4> MichaelTun : alt+f2 just mimics what i type, If it is a valid application it will run it though.
[19:01] <the_count> Bashing-om: So we may remove it... The thing is.. We had better make sure that it removes every last thing... There is probably 4gb of games installes
[19:01] <g0th> hmm, http://askubuntu.com/questions/252794/cannot-connect-to-bluetooth-speaker-logitech-boombox <- ok with this I get the best results so far
[19:02] <Bashing-om> the_count: A mess for sure .. try'n to think our way through this.

[19:12] <Bashing-om> the_count: All for fixing .. let's remove steam from the system, go ahead as the package manager wants and rebuild . As you see the drivers for touchpad are effected .
[19:13] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: sorry, for the lack of reply. I am working on an article about apt and yes apt does a lot of what apt-get does but not everything. I am writing an article to explain what it can and cant do
[19:13] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: did you try MenuLibre?
[19:13] <the_count> Bashing-om: Would removing the libmesa... Whatever it was called help?
[19:13] <flyn4x4> yes i did
[19:14] <flyn4x4> i went to the uget website and it looks cool
[19:14] <the_count> Bashing-om: As I see it... It's going to be better for me to try to stick it out and learn something, the way I see it, I'll at least learn something
[19:14] <Bashing-om> the_count: My focus is on steam/HWE. How did you install steam ? From our repo or other ?
[19:14] <flyn4x4> menulibre let me see the stuff but none are hidden
[19:15] <the_count> Bashing-om: Can we purge the steam application from the command line...? I installed it from the Ubuntu Software Center
[19:15] <flyn4x4> and i guess its called the "dash" still doesnt show applications
[19:15] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: thanks, I'm project manager for uGet
[19:15] <Bashing-om> the_count: Concur on the learning curve, I expect I too will learn in this process . You be that ginny pig .
[19:15] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: are the categories enabled in MenuLibre?
[19:15] <the_count> Bashing-om: Nothing wrong with that...
[19:16] <MichaelTun> it is possible to hide all apps in a category by disabling the category.
[19:16] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: yes it is called the "Dash" and the panel on the left is the "Launcher"
[19:16] <flyn4x4> no hidden apps or cats
[19:16] <flyn4x4> just not showing any apps
[19:16] <the_count> Bashing-om: And... I believe I have everything backed up, except my RSA keys... I do not want to loose those
[19:17] <Bashing-om> the_count: Good on steam then ... rather than purge .. let's remove as we may want to re0install steam at a later time ... do: ' sudo apt-get remove steam ' , I can anticipate the system screamming and hollering .
[19:17] <flyn4x4>  it worked saturday and i havnt installed anything scince
[19:17] <the_count> Bashing-om: Wow... It says that it is not installed
[19:18] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: installing doesn't mean it would happen. It is possible something happened in the System Settings or maybe via Ubuntu Tweak. Have you messed with those at all?
[19:18] <Bashing-om> the_count: Well ! ... ok, let's install it and then remove it . ' sudo apt-get install steam '
[19:20] <flyn4x4> ok Michaeltun thanks , i will try some other stuff and check out the new uget .   Thanks for your help..... Havent since it last worked...  just installed konversation on saturday then used it (the dash) to start konversation and then today (1 week later) no apps show in dash
[19:22] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok, now remove?
[19:26] <MichaelTun> flyn4x4: sorry I can't be of more use. I haven't used Unity in a couple of years so I'm rusty on it.
[19:27] <flyn4x4> its cool i will just play with stuff today... this computer is not my daily driver its just my plex server so no big deal just wierd thank you MichaelTun
[19:27] <the_count> Bashing-om: Maybe for HWE we should have installed it for multiarch
[19:28] <defcon6> hi guys. I just updated to 16.04 and am wondering about the Unity8 DE. Last time I tried to install and run it did not work and froze my computer. Is it usable in version 16.04 or is it still to soon?
[19:28] <tachyondecay> OK, I have a recovery image and system image of my new Windows install. Time to rock and roll….
[19:28] <lotuspsychje> defcon6: #ubuntu+1
[19:28] <the_count> Bashing-om: So...
[19:29] <defcon6> lotuspsychje: ok thanks
[19:29] <Bashing-om> the_count: No idea of how steam should be installed .. did not know there were options . You are on a 64 bit system and --- is steam 32 bit ?? I do not recall .
[19:30] <quechon> hello
[19:30] <the_count> Bashing-om: I guess it doesn't really matter. We were going to comepletely remove it, right?
[19:30] <quechon> im trying to build a scantool software from scrath
[19:30] <the_count> Bashing-om: Looks like Steam is 32bit
[19:30] <quechon> im getting this when runnin make http://pastebin.com/D6ZLyZQh
[19:31] <quechon> i have tried ln -s
[19:31] <quechon> but no luck
[19:31] <osho0000> hi guys i can't get the speed of my laptop with sudo dmidecode | grep -A 15 Memory nor with sudo lshw -short -C memory
[19:31] <osho0000> sorry, the speen of the memory
[19:31] <Bashing-om> the_count: Well " completely" is relative .. if we "remove" it's config files will remain // If we purge then the config files will also be removed .
[19:32] <the_count> Bashing-om: Take a look at this link: http://linuxconfig.org/installation-of-steam-client-on-debian-jessie-8-linux-64bit
[19:32] <the_count> Bashing-om: Right
[19:32] <Bashing-om> the_count: Look'n . be back in a bit .
[19:34] <quechon> any suggestion
[19:36] <Bashing-om> the_count: As we install from repo, I do not see the relevance for a 'debian' install method - in this case .
[19:37] <the_count> Bashing-om: I was pointing you to this as a ' partial ' reference
[19:38] <the_count> Bashing-om: From the requirements point of view
[19:38] <Bashing-om> the_count: Yeah . is good info to keep in mimd .. I am hopefull our package manager will advise us along our way .
[19:39] <globalist> Hello everybody! I downloaded 15.10 (sha- and md5 sums check out) and I cannot, for the life of me, create a bootable USB device. I tried it with the Startup Disk Creator and the dd-command and even used 3 different USB sticks -- but to no avail. With either method the USB is either not even recognized during bootup or i get a black screen with nothing more than "boot error". I can't find any specific information online so I wanted t
[19:39] <globalist> o ask if any of you had some ideas? :)
[19:39] <the_count> Bashing-om: That would be ideal... So... What do we start out with?
[19:40] <AlexQ> globalist: Have you tried reading an image of the disk (after writing with dd) and verifying the md5 and/or sha1 checksum?
[19:41] <Bashing-om> the_count: ' sudo apt-get remove steam' is the start .. if that completes .. ' sudo apt-get 0f install ' . See what Xorg looks like . O do expect to have to re-install some of the HWE components .
[19:41] <the_count> Bashing-om: And another thing about completely reinstalling Ubuntu, I'm still learning the in's and out's of the file structure/os and it's not as straingtforeward for me as is windows as it currently stands
[19:41] <globalist> AlexQ: Actually I didn't (and not once has that been necessary with any Ubuntu flavor for me) but you're right, that's something I have to check out!
[19:41] <Bashing-om> * sudo apt-get -f install **
[19:42] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Is it possible to install (try) another desktop environment WITHOUT also installing duplicates of all software? :/
[19:42] <AlexQ> globalist: When reading an ISO filesystem directly from the pendrive device to file using dd, you will most likely need to specify the exact amount of bytes to copy (exact to the original .iso REAL filesize), otherwise you'll end up reading the whole device I guess.
[19:42] <the_count> Bashing-om: ' sudo apt-get -f install ' http://paste.ubuntu.com/13402910/
[19:43] <Bashing-om> the_count: linux file system is compl;etely different . once you are comforable with the file system you are well on your way to mastering system administration .
[19:43] <al2o3-cr> YWH_1: What you looking for?
[19:44] <the_count> Bashing-om: When I first started, I could not understand the concept of having / as the root directory...
[19:45] <Bashing-om> the_count: I know no better thing than to allow the ystem to break, and then fix it .. Go ahead and ' sudo apt-get autoremove ' // scary thought .. byt we have the tools to rebuild .
[19:45] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: What is scary with apt-get autoremove?
[19:45] <the_count> Bashing-om: Why is this? I got two minutes to wait untill my current backup od home is done
[19:46] <Bashing-om> AlexQ: take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/13402910/ . This system is HWE enabled .. and we rip the heart out of Xorg .
[19:48] <the_count> Bashing-om: Is the heart of xorg not already removed, or does the system think they need removed when they are really nessesary?
[19:49] <the_count> Bashing-om: If you were to give me a one sentence definition of HWE that would give me a basis of understanding, how would you define it?
[19:50] <Bashing-om> the_count: The latter os our case . == required, and we make sure HWE is satisfied after ripping the system apart .
[19:50] <Bashing-om> the_count: see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack .
[19:53] <the_count> Bashing-om; okBashing-om: So, basically it replaces the kernel of a system
[19:53] <Bashing-om> the_count: Yeah and also Xserver ( Xorg amongst all that ) .
[19:57] <custom> how does steam work with ubuntu?
[19:57] <custom> how well
[19:57] <VictoriaXOXO> On a scale from 37 to 175939543? 102483.
[19:57] <tachyondecay> Interesting: live USB recognized my touchpad this boot, even though on previous boot it did not. Hmm.
[19:57] <n1ghtmar3> well enough
[19:58] <VictoriaXOXO> custom: It just... works.
[19:58] <zykotick9> VictoriaXOXO: just choose your metapackge carefully, and yes (kinda).   Proceding to tear apart system
[19:58] <custom> what distro would you suggest trying.
[19:58] <VictoriaXOXO> zykotick9: What about Cinnamon? Any way to just change the VISUAL things?
[19:59] <Bashing-om> the_count: K; We have the tools, we have the technology; we can rebuild .
[19:59] <zykotick9> VictoriaXOXO: sorry i'm not familiar with cinnamon, so don't know the details.
[19:59] <egggs> steam works great on my system, but its all about the video card and  drivers you choose
[19:59] <the_count> Bashing-om: Good
[19:59] <VictoriaXOXO> zykotick9: Darn...
[19:59] <the_count> Bashing-om: Now what shall I do
[20:00] <alethes> I'm unable to use tethering on my Ubuntu 15.10 desktop computer. In case it's relevant, it has the Rampage V Extreme motherboard. I tried both with  an iPhone 5S and LG G4, through USB and Wi-Fi. I can establish a network connection, but I can't access the Internet.
[20:00] <alethes> Is this the right place to seek support? I'm willing to pay to get this issue solved.
[20:00] <custom> would you suggest Mint, Black Lab linux,  Steam OS, straight Ubuntu? Does it make any difference
[20:01] <VictoriaXOXO> custom: Mint/Ubuntu. :)
[20:01] <the_count> custom: What are you lookinf for in an os?
[20:01] <egggs> what are your  pc  specs?
[20:01] <custom> something that work well with Steam.. Im familiar with Linux
[20:02] <tachyondecay> Ubuntu works fine with Steam
[20:02] <egggs> whatever the case an easy way to test is  live cd or   vitural machince it
[20:02] <AlexQ> On clean Xubuntu 15.10 install or Xubuntu 15.10 live I have nice smooth (pixel-precise) scrolling on my touchpad and it works well in Mousepad or Gedit, but I had a problem on my Xubuntu 15.04 (it was smoothly scrolling for some distance and then jumping, as in old-school mouse wheel-like scrolling - as if both scrolling methods were active simultaneously), and unfortunately the problem remains after upgrading to 15.10. Any ideas? I don't
[20:02] <the_count> custom: SteamOS will almost undoubtebly work the best with steam
[20:02] <Bashing-om> the_count: "autoremove" is done ?

[20:02] <globalist> custom: Depending on how much you want to experiment with different desktop environments you can try any of these. The Ubuntu base makes them very stable, it's quite a matter of personal taste and to what "desktop behaviour" you're accustomed! :)
[20:03] <custom> ok Thanks guys
[20:04] <the_count> Bashing-om: Returned: ' dpkg-query: no packages found matching libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-vivid ; dpkg-query: no packages found matching libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid:i386 ' and http://paste.ubuntu.com/13403774/
[20:04] <alethes> Tethering works without issues on my Ubuntu 15.04 laptop, Windows, iOS and OS X devices. However, I can't connect to Internet on my Ubuntu 15.10 desktop. What could be the reason?
[20:05] <Bashing-om> the_count: Expected " no packages found" we did remove them .. this is overkill if You are not going to run games - 32 bit apps - . IF there is nop need of the 43 bit libraries we can do with out a bunch of stuff .

[20:07] <the_count> Bashing-om: I don't see why we cannot just remove everything we don't need now... If in the future I ever want to reinstall steam, then we can figure it out. I still have my windows partition to play games on if I really feel the desire
[20:08] <the_count> Bashing-om: I say just get rid of it... I got more productive projects to do anyway

[20:10] <alethes> AlexQ: Thank you for answering. I'm not sure how to check the IP...
[20:10] <Bashing-om> the_count: I too was surprised to see it .. no idea what the developers have in mind here .
[20:10] <AlexQ> alethes: What does command 'route' output?
[20:10] <AlexQ> alethes: After connecting to the hotspot of course.
[20:11] <mks656> no icq
[20:11] <the_count> bashing-om: So... It finished, no hiccups. Do you do any development, or do you do purly system admin work?
[20:12] <alethes> AlexQ: I'm currently connected to my LG G4. The interface is usb0. The 'route' command outputs three lines. The 'destination' values are: default, link-local, <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:12] <AlexQ> alethes: What is the 'gateway' column entry for default?
[20:13] <Bashing-om> the_count: I used to be the senior Network Controller in communications networks . Retired now and I spend my time learning this operating system .
[20:13] <AlexQ> <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[20:13] <alethes> AlexQ: <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:13] <AlexQ> alethes: Can you try 'ping <IP_ADDRESS>' ?
[20:13] <alethes> AlexQ: It works
[20:14] <AlexQ> alethes: And if you try like 'ping <IP_ADDRESS>' ?
[20:15] <the_count> Bashing-om: So, what's next on the list?
[20:15] <bindi> how can i check my system disk performance with the included tool? it wants to unmount the disk but i dont think you can do that, its the system disk
[20:16] <alethes> AlexQ: It works as well. However, the browser is unable to resolve any hostname and I can't eg. ssh to a server.
[20:16] <AlexQ> alethes: Than it is just a DNS config issue, most likely.

[20:18] <Bashing-om> the_count: I am considering .. gimme a bit more .. if it is safe, and now time to reboot .
[20:19] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok, I'll reboot now... Say, sometime it doesn't boot up, then what happens?
[20:20] <the_count> Bashing-om: How do I know if it is safe to reboot?
[20:20] <alethes> AlexQ: I've been using a landline connection without issues. Tthe router broke yesterday and I'd like to use the mobile network until the replacement arrives. I just tried 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' and it outputs:

[20:21] <Bitnova> hi, im having an issue with Bluez sending and recieving files to my phone. If i want to uninstall Bluez and purge so that i can reinstall it, it wants to also uninstall Kodi and i dont want that to happen. any thoughts?
[20:21] <the_count> pauljw: You bet I'll wait
[20:21] <alethes> AlexQ: I can see it has been overwritten now, but I'm not sure how to fix it.
[20:21] <pauljw> :)
[20:23] <the_count> pauljw: Not really in the mood to mess up Ubuntu further when it could have been prevented
[20:24] <alethes> AlexQ: I changed it to 'nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>' and it works fine. Thank you very much for your help!
[20:24] <AlexQ> alethes: Yeah, I was just typing you a more detailed instruction. Bear in mind that it might be permanent, don't know how NetworkManager behaves.
[20:24] <globalist> Bitnova: there is (among other workarounds) this: https://askubuntu.com/a/695903
[20:25] <globalist> Bitnova: You might also want to try "apt-get --reinstall bluez" first :)
[20:25] <AlexQ> alethes: For a more permanent solution, you could try to remove the file, and reconnect, or preferably reboot your system. If that doesn't resolve the issue, just click on the NetworkManager applet that you use to connect to networks, select Edit connections..., edit the connection you are going to use and type the IP address of your phone (the one from destination column of default-route from route) , or e.g. Google's NS you just configu
[20:26] <tachyondecay> I am in the Ubuntu live environment right now trying to install alongside Windows. I need to shrink the NTFS partition, but I can't do this with the Ubuntu installer's partitioner. GParted does not see my SSD
[20:26] <tachyondecay> The SSD was previously mounted and recognized by the live environment, and the Ubuntu installer partioner can see its partitions fine
[20:26] <lotus|xenial> !uefi | tachyondecay
[20:26] <Bitnova> globalist, thank you so much. im going to try that. Yes i will try reinstall first, but i think there might be some wrong installation of config... so i want to purge.. and then reinstall
[20:26] <lotus|xenial> tachyondecay: make your life easy and install ubuntu single :p
[20:27] <the_count> tachyodecay: What windows OS do you have installed?
[20:27] <tachyondecay> Windows 10
[20:27] <AlexQ> Bitnova: globalist: Yeah, purge is a good idea.
[20:27] <tachyondecay> I tried shrinking the partition from there already, but it wants to keep like 120 GB
[20:27] <Bitnova> sounds good
[20:28] <bekks> tachyondecay: Can you take a screenshot of which disks you can see in gparted?
[20:28] <AlexQ> tachyondecay: It is still a bit strange that the installer sees that partition, and GParted doesn't. Are you sure you checked the device select box in top-right corner of the GParted interface?
[20:28] <tachyondecay> I want 40 GB for Windows, 170 GB for a shared data partition, and the rest for Ubuntu
[20:28] <bekks> tachyondecay: Most likely Windows 10 needs more than 40G.
[20:28] <tachyondecay> AlexQ: Yes, the only device it sees is dev/sda (the installer USB)
[20:28] <the_count> tachyodecay: Speaking from experience, I believe Windows 8+ has hibernation set as default, disable that before you resize anything, because it can and will render that partition useless
[20:29] <Bashing-om> the_count: Let's do this prior to rebooting . make sur the package manager is in a hppay state . ' sudo apt ypdate ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo apt-get install -f ; sudo dpkg -C ' . If all comes back positive , reboot .
[20:29] <NicoHood> I wanted to add a custom (ubuntu) keyboard shortcut whith two commands. both of them work as a single shortcut, but combined with || not. In a terminal the command works correct, seems that the key shortcut doesnt like it. any ideas why? killall hyperiond || /usr/bin/hyperiond /etc/hyperion.config.json > /tmp/hyperionlog
[20:29] <tachyondecay> bekks: OK, but it shouldn't need 120 GB
[20:29] <AlexQ> NicoHood: Because || means or, so the second will execute only if the first fails (returns non-zero value). Use ; or &&
[20:30] <mgolisch> NicoHood: i dont think that kind of stuff works, write a script with that in it and call it from your shortcut
[20:30] <mgolisch> AlexQ: that makes sense, only start thing if kill failed to kill it(its not started=
[20:30] <NicoHood> but && only works if the first was successful. I guess I am missunderstanding something here?
[20:31] <the_count> Bashing-om: it completed succesfully
[20:31] <tachyondecay> Will I be cast into the fiery pits if I _don't_ use a separate data partition and just let Ubuntu merrily write documents and photos to my Windows NTFS partition like I do on my other computer?
[20:31] <bekks> NicoHood: a && b   b is executed when a was executed successfully.
[20:31] <tachyondecay> I get that having a separate data partition is good for doing clean installs.
[20:32] <NicoHood> and how can I execute both, no matter which fails and which not?
[20:32] <AlexQ> NicoHood: Just try ; as a separator
[20:32] <AlexQ> mgolisch: Can't see how that would make sense. I think his intention is to restart that process, or start it if not already running.
[20:33] <OnTheRocks> hello
[20:33] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Does ANYONE know what this error (at shutdown) means? "Starting SMB/CIFS File and Active Directory Server [FAIL]"

[20:33] <the_count> Bashing-om: Shall I now reboot?
[20:33] <OnTheRocks> anybody know about nagios?
[20:33] <mgolisch> OnTheRocks: no

[20:38] <OnTheRocks> to commands.cfg
[20:39] <mothership> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MCLaE4LC it stuck on this and I cant install any other things
[20:40] <mgolisch> check the what it does
[20:40] <mgolisch> -the
[20:40] <OnTheRocks> i think its fixed now
[20:41] <globalist> mothership: can you run "apt-get -f install" and then try the dpkg-command again?
[20:41] <OnTheRocks> i have a dobt.... http://www.stevengould.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=231&Itemid=307, in this link, this instruction command_line $USER1$/check_sftp_avail -H $HOSTADDRESS$, is to change HOSTADDRESS to ip of my server?
[20:41] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok... Back - i looked at the installed kernels in GRUB, and there is more now... strange. 3.19.0-33-generic, 3.19.0-30-generic, 3.16.0-53-generic, 3.16.0-49-generic, and (3.16.0-30-generic x2)
[20:42] <OnTheRocks> or is to stay that way?
[20:43] <mothership> globalist, that works, thanks
[20:43] <globalist> cool! :)
[20:43] <Bashing-om> the_count: We are alive .. that is the good thing .. as to why new 3.16 kernels would be installed is a mystery to me .. should not happen (??) .// OK, so how are we on disk space now ' df -h ' ?
[20:44] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Does ANYONE know what this error (at shutdown) means? "Starting SMB/CIFS File and Active Directory Server [FAIL]"
[20:44] <the_count> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13406191/
[20:44] <Bashing-om> the_count: look'n at http://paste.ubuntu.com/13406191/ .
[20:45] <mothership> globalist, he is doing the setting again - http://pastebin.com/yGv3geiV even tho this is different installation
[20:46] <user___> hi guys, is it possible to see which version packages currently in 16.04 will shipped?
[20:46] <Bashing-om> the_count: Finally ! We can live with " /dev/sda6        76G   58G   15G  80% / " // OK, now back to the touchpad ... is it now functional ?
[20:46] <lotus|xenial> user___: #ubuntu+1
[20:46] <user___> ok
[20:46] <k1l> user___:  see packages.ubuntu.com. but that version switch all day since its still alpha
[20:46] <the_count> Bashing-om: So... How do we know if all other issues are resolved?? And, the touchpad is still wrong
[20:46] <mothership> it installed but at the end he still bugs about that wvdial
[20:48] <the_count> Bashing-om: I know something strange is wrong because some of my shortcuts work, others do not... I fail to understand.
[20:48] <globalist> VictoriaXOXO: I have no idea as to what exactly it means... A wild guess: It's trying to start the Samba service but it's getting overwritten since the system is shutting down... The very last post here offers a "fix" (of which I have again no idea what exactly it's doing) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2242868
[20:48] <xela2244> hi, how can i change button-power option to black screen. I'm using Ubuntu GNOME
[20:51] <globalist> mothership: I take it you are trying to install chromium? did you update your sources list before trying to install?
[20:51] <VictoriaXOXO> globalist: Oh, okay. I'll bookmark it. Thanks.
[20:52] <globalist> xela2244: what exactly do you mean by "black screen"? I'm on Ubuntu Gnome as well
[20:52] <Bashing-om> the_count: Driver ?? Let's see if the touchpad is recognized ' cat /proc/bus/input/devices ' .
[20:53] <the_count> Bashing-om; It is there...
[20:53] <globalist> VictoriaXOXO: Sorry I can't be of more help! But if the system is shutting down nonetheless I think it's nothing to worry about :)
[20:53] <xela2244> globalist: I mean that screen turns off. But computer is still working
[20:54] <elichai2> Hey
[20:54] <elichai2> in ubuntu archive whats `all` version means?
[20:54] <elichai2> (I know what `amd64` and `i386` means but what `all` means?)
[20:55] <globalist> xela2244: Oh, i see! Well, I had that issue as well, but some update along the way seems to have fixed that! have you upgraded your system recently?
[20:55] <mcphail> elichai2: usually an app written in an interpreted language, so will run on any architecture (e.g. a bash script)
[20:56] <elichai2> so whats better to install? architecture specific version or `all` version?
[20:56] <xela2244> globalist: yes
[20:56] <mcphail> elichai2: there shouldn't be a choice
[20:56] <the_count> Bashing-om: Do you think we could install a kernel the next level underneath the current one, completeley remove the current + everything, and then try reinstalling it without obstructions? Would it be possible to do something like that? See. Since the origional kernel works better for the touchpad than this one, except for the fact that it jumps around, I wonder if there is some other problem there. Or even go back even farther to something in the midd
[20:56] <elichai2> mcphail, I want to install an old package from vivid repo
[20:56] <elichai2> (I run willy)
[20:57] <the_count> elichai2: The archetecture specific version should be smaller/ more lightweight
[20:57] <elichai2> thanks
[20:58] <mcphail> elichai2: can you give an example?
[20:58] <elichai2> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/boost1.55/
[20:58] <elichai2> libboost1.55
[20:59] <mcphail> elichai2: installing a version of boost from a previous repo is a _very_ bad idea, and the files you want will be architecture specific
[20:59] <elichai2> why so bad?
[20:59] <globalist> xela2244: mh, well it doesn't really solve your issue but have you tried shutting down from the command line? there are two ways that I know of: "sudo shutdown -h now" and also "sudo systemctl -i now" (if i'm correct)
[21:00] <elichai2> I want to run a program that only works with boost1.55
[21:00] <the_count> ' sudo poweroff '
[21:00] <Bashing-om> the_count: It is a worthy thouhgt to install an earlier kernel . Maybe we do that .. I have in mind to re-install the touch pad driver .. then if still a problem generate a log file of what the driver is doing .
[21:00] <mcphail> elichai2: for a start, the c++ abi has changed from vivid to wily, and lots of apps rely on libboost. Good way to break your system. Rememebr to back up everything and be prepared for a full reinstall
[21:00] <the_count> Bashing-om: We could do that, I wouldn't know how though...
[21:00] <mgolisch> elichai2: what program?
[21:01] <elichai2> namecoin
[21:01] <globalist> xela2244: the systemctl command might not take "now" as an argument, so if it doesn't work just leave it out. and yes, like the_count said, there's also "sudo poweroff" :)
[21:02] <elichai2> mgolisch, https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Ap_conrad%3Acoins&package=namecoin-gui
[21:02] <elichai2> mcphail, have a better idea?
[21:02] <mcphail> elichai2: install vivid and use it there
[21:02] <elichai2> lol
[21:03] <mcphail> elichai2: if you want to go ahead with it, good luck and I hope it works out for you
[21:03] <Bashing-om> the_count: Let's try ' sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-vivid ; sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-vivid ' .
[21:04] <mgolisch> hm just download the sourcepackage and build it yourself?
[21:04] <m000gle> Is there any way to prevent Ubuntu from sleeping, and/or turning off the monitor, while the screen is locked?
[21:05] <elichai2> mgolisch, that's a good idea
[21:06] <m000gle> "System Settings　> Brightness & Lock > Turn screen off when inactive for..." seems to have no effect on the the maching going to sleep with the screen locked.
[21:07] <globalist> m000gle: I'm on Ubuntu Gnome so I'm not sure how the settings are layed out in vanilla Ubuntu, but shouldn't there also be an option for Suspend and Power-Off?
[21:09] <globalist> m000gle: like this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/157629/how-to-prevent-computer-from-automatically-sleeping-and-or-hibernating
[21:09] <m000gle> globalist: All options are already set to either "Do Nothing" or "Don't Suspend"
[21:11] <globalist> m000gle: Maybe the little app "Caffeine" might solve your problem? https://launchpad.net/~caffeine-developers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[21:11] <Jacruth> Hi guys, is there any way to list all the current directories without showing . and ../ in a for loop?
[21:11] <globalist> m000gle: although their ppa doesn't seem up-to-date so it might not work if you are on 15.10
[21:12] <the_count> Bashing-om: I was disconnected again... Any message after the command to reinstall the touchpad drivers, I did not se
[21:12] <the_count> Bashing-om: **see
[21:12] <Bashing-om> the_count: Nope .. awaiting that result .
[21:13] <the_count> Bashing-om: Oh...
[21:13] <Bashing-om> the_count: And now that the driver is re-installed, what is the status ?
[21:14] <the_count> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13409426/
[21:14] <the_count> Bashing-om: I just realized that you wanted to see it
[21:14] <globalist> m000gle: here's a short video on how it works, i'm using it on a Linux Mint machine as well. You should be able to lock the screen while Caffeine keeps the system up and running once you've toggled it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VKdsH2K1Ts
[21:16] <Bashing-om> the_count: No problems indicated .. does it work ( and is it turned on -> touchpad settings under System Settings > Input Devices > Touchpad ) .
[21:16] <the_count> Bashing-om: It has not changed since I looked at it. So.. No
[21:18]  * Dredd :^)
[21:18]  * marika :^) :^)
[21:19] <the_count> What is happening?
[21:19] <the_count> Bashing-om; Maybe I should restart to see if changes are applied
[21:20]  * the_count <|:^()
[21:20] <Bashing-om> the_count: I do not know .. so let's generate a log file and see what we can learn; follow : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection . You will have to install the tool "evtest" .
[21:21] <Bashing-om> the_count: And yes .. a restart with the changed driver is in order .. agreed .
[21:21] <the_count> Bashing-om: Which shall we do first?
[21:22] <Bashing-om> the_count: Restart and see if the driver now works .
[21:27] <the_count> Bashing-om: Nothing doing
[21:28] <Bashing-om> the_count: K; Then when all else fails ,, read the instructions. In our case generate a log file per : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection .
[21:28] <the_count> Bashing-om: Restarted and still no different
[21:28] <the_count> Bashing-om: I loe your attitude
[21:28] <cagatay> hack this site please x59.noip.me
[21:29] <the_count> Bashing-om: That was love, don't be trying to imageine what t could have been
[21:29] <daftykins> cagatay: no, and take that kind of chat off this network.
[21:31] <Bashing-om> the_count: lol , We are atempting to solve a puzzle ; and in that process learn an operating system .
[21:31] <only1dcb> Hey all, I'm a linux n00b, and I want to do 2 things with my new install: 1. Re-order my GRUB startup list, and 2. Install the correct Nvidia Optimus drivers for my notebook.  Is anyone up for a little guided help?
[21:32] <Hitechcg> Look up grub-customizer for the first one
[21:32] <the_count> bashing-om: i'm looking at the section for ' In case Touchpad features like scrolling, tapping, etc. do not work at all. '
[21:33] <Hitechcg> Do "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer", "sudo apt-get update", and "sudo apt-get install grub-customizer"
[21:33] <only1dcb> Hitechcg: I did, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/43471/how-to-configure-the-linux-grub2-boot-menu-the-easy-way/ , but in following the terminal instructions I have failed to actually install the package.
[21:34] <daftykins> only1dcb: nvidia chip in use? latest nvidia package along with nvidia-prime should be all you need.
[21:34] <Bashing-om> the_count: Yep .. that section is my thought also .
[21:35] <Hitechcg> only1dcb: What do you mean exactly? Did you get an error when trying to install it?
[21:35] <only1dcb> daftykins: I am still using the generic driver ATM.  I wanted to change up my GRUB order first.  But the package failed to install using the commands listed above, and in the tutorial I looked up.
[21:36] <daftykins> adjusting GRUB order beforehand makes zero sense
[21:36] <daftykins> in fact, what are you even referring to?
[21:36] <daftykins> dualboot and you want Windows above Ubuntu or something?
[21:37] <Bob_> hey im trying to install drivers for my wireless adapter but everytime i install and reboot the device doesnt start
[21:37] <Bob_> is there any fix for this?
[21:37] <Bob_> do i have to manually start the drivers ...
[21:37] <Hitechcg> What device, and which drivers?
[21:37] <Bob_> RTL8192CU usb-n13 wireless adapter
[21:37] <Bob_> the rtll is the chip
[21:38] <Hitechcg> only1dcb: What error do you get?
[21:38] <Bob_> https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes
[21:38] <Bob_> using this guys drivers
[21:38] <Bob_> basically i dont see wireless at all
[21:38] <only1dcb> daftykins: Exactly.  Hitechcg: Yeah, it looks like it found the repository, downloaded the key, and attempted to install the package, but I can't find it either by GUI, or command line...
[21:39] <Bob_> it works fine until i reboot which is strange :/
[21:39] <only1dcb> Hitechcg: Standby, I'm trying to read through the terminal log to find that needle.
[21:39] <daftykins> only1dcb: wouldn't changing the default make more sense?
[21:39] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok.. Now what do we take a look at, those commands I enteded form the page, I am not sure as of what they do.
[21:39] <Hitechcg> only1dcb: See if you can hide join/leaves
[21:40] <only1dcb> daftykins: Possibly, like I said, I'm totally green on LINUX.  So you're going to have to be real basic w/ me.
[21:40] <daftykins> Bob_: enter the module name you installed into /etc/modules ; it'll be loaded at boot.
[21:40] <Hitechcg> That probably would've been smart for me to do (hide them), too.
[21:40] <Bashing-om> if it went according to plan, should have a file : 'ls -al ~/evtest ' . yeah ?
[21:40] <daftykins> only1dcb: no, you need to explain what you're trying to achieve with the GRUB menu :)
[21:41] <the_count> Bashing-om: Wait... Wait a second... ' cat /proc/bus/input/devices > ~/devices ' did not return the name of the touchpad
[21:41] <only1dcb> daftykins: I want the Win10 parition to be the default OS.
[21:41] <daftykins> only1dcb: alright; so don't follow any of that guide you linked - huge waste of time installing software to do what is already built in.
[21:41] <Hitechcg> only1dcb: What IRC client are you using? Also, I'm really only moderately knowledgeable with Ubuntu. It's been over a year thoo
[21:42] <Bob_> daftykins do you know where i can find the module name
[21:42] <Bob_> also thanks for the help
[21:42] <only1dcb> Hitechcg: webchat.freenode.net
[21:42] <daftykins> Bob_: well what are you doing once it boots; to manually load it?
[21:42] <Bob_> daftykins reinstall drivers
[21:42] <daftykins> Bob_: last step of which being what?
[21:43] <the_count> Bashing-om: Actually... I think we should be looking at this section: ' In case your multitouch features does not work '
[21:43] <Bob_> daftykins modprobe rtl8192cu
[21:44] <Hitechcg> only 1dcb: Go to the menu, then click Settings, then check "Hide JOINS/PARTS/QUITS". It'll make it easier to see stuff.
[21:44] <Yehai> bazhang: still being the cunt?
[21:44] <daftykins> Bob_: so that's the module name, put just that "rtl18192cu" into /etc/modules
[21:44] <daftykins> Bob_: "sudo nano /etc/modules" ; it explains how to edit it in the headers.
[21:44] <daftykins> *header
[21:44] <Bob_> daftykins all right thanks for your help :D ill reboot
[21:45] <Bob_> yeah i put it in already
[21:45] <daftykins> only1dcb: "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" -> change the default from 0 to the entry representing Windows, save and exit, run "sudo update-grub" reboot and test. simple
[21:45] <the_count> Bashing-om: And by the way, that file doesn not exist.
[21:46] <yourname1> Hi
[21:46] <Hitechcg> only1dcb: Go to the menu, then click Settings, then check "Hide JOINS/PARTS/QUITS". It'll make it easier to see stuff. (sorry, had a space in the name so I'm not sure if it pinged you)
[21:47] <globalist> yourname1: hi!
[21:48] <Bashing-om> the_count: We need to see why the log file dies not generate . // We have s strong indication this may be a bug in the latter kernelsm but presently we do not know .
[21:48] <Hitechcg> only1dcb: Also, I'd recommend grub-customizer if you actually want to reorder the entries.  Have you tried running "grub-customizer" in terminal?
[21:48] <yourname1> globalist: how are you?
[21:49] <Hitechcg> You can also search for "grub customizer" in the dash. I noticed the article you linked to was for an old pre-Unity Ubuntu version; I think that article may have confused you.
[21:49] <the_count> Bashing-om: I do agree
[21:50] <the_count> Bashing-om: If you think this is a good stopping spot for a couple hours or less, I have some yardwork I need to get done. If we can hold this off until then.
[21:50] <only1dcb> Hitechcg: Yes, it looks like the terminal got the repository, and package, downloaded it but made some sort of error in the install,  Ergo the OS doesn't have it installed, but right now I'm trying to go with the easier method of ( daftykins: ) and just changing the default in GRUB.
[21:51] <UnArmed> If anyone is familiar with Tweetdeck in here the windows program, is there a good linux alternative that does the same thing, such as tweet notifications, etc?
[21:51] <Bashing-om> the_count: Oj we can syop .. no big deal .. but check that the tool is installed ' dpkg -l evtest ' .
[21:52] <Bashing-om> the_count: * Oh we can stop .
[21:52] <the_count> Bashing-om: I did install it... It is installed for sure
[21:52] <only1dcb> daftykins: I'm in etc/defult/grub , but I do not see where in this display to find what my other partitions are to boot default into Win10...
[21:53] <EriC^^> only1dcb: type grep -i "menuentry.*Windows" /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[21:53] <EriC^^> grab the part that says something similar to 'Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/sda1)
[21:54] <EriC^^> only1dcb: then sudo nano /etc/default/grub , and change the GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows ..bla blabla on /dev/sda1"
[21:54] <EriC^^> then sudo update-grub and try it out

[21:55] <zetheroo> Ubuntu 15.04 here - Network Manager not saving my VPN password
[21:56] <samthewildone> zetheroo, might have to save it manually in the /etc/network/...
[21:56] <AlexQ> Hi again. I have a problem with my touchpad: scrolling works well in clean wily install, but not so well in vivid upgraded to wily. Xorg.0.log from clean wily: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13414714/ Xorg.0.log from vidid to wily: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13415282/ . Identical xorg.conf (nothing about Synaptics touchpad there, only to enable intel tearfree): http://paste.ubuntu.com/13415509/.
[21:56] <AlexQ> So the issue (on vivid to wily) is that in apps that support smooth scrolling (e.g. gedit) it seems that both the smooth scrolling and button emulation (4,5 I guess) is working, resulting in an extremely jittery experience. Also, there is no 'bounce' shade effect when trying to scroll further than possible. Anyone?
[21:56] <zetheroo> samthewildone: ok, but then there is a serious issue as this was working in 14.04 fine
[21:57] <int-main> I have RT3290 adapter. My Wifi says disabled by hardware switch. It used to work perfectly before.
[21:57] <int-main> Same problem as mentioned https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/2nf2ky/wifi_disabled_by_hardware_switch_computer_doesnt/ Its hard blocked
[21:57] <the_count> Bashing-om: There you go, AlexQ has a problem similar to mine
[21:58] <int-main> Any idea how?
[21:58] <zetheroo> seems that Network Manager in general is a bit broken. If I delete a VPN connection it's still in the drop-down selection of VPN connections.
[21:58] <daftykins> int-main: look for a key along the function keys which Fn+that will toggle wifi being on or off; they're not always dedicated sliding buttons
[21:58] <samthewildone> zetheroo, should had check the bug reports first.
[21:59] <int-main> daftykins: that is for airplane mode and doesn't seem to do any good
[21:59] <samthewildone> zetheroo, I've been in your shoes before.
[21:59] <daftykins> int-main: sure there isn't another?
[21:59] <int-main> daftykins: 100% sure
[21:59] <only1dcb> EriC^^: I've entered the correct entry for GRUB_DEFAULT=  how do I save this, or exit appropriately?
[21:59] <int-main> I tried everything and then I had to return to Windows temporarily coz I needed Internet access
[22:00] <int-main> Whats weird is Ubuntu 15.04 used to work out of box and Wifi was functional, now it gives the same error.
[22:00] <samthewildone> zetheroo, is it something similar to this > https://askubuntu.com/questions/640009/annoying-popup-wifi-password-in-15-04
[22:00] <daftykins> int-main: sometimes a warm reboot from Windows making use of it will help leave it on; otherwise a power off, removing the mains power + battery then holding the power button for a few seconds before reassembling and booting straight into ubuntu can help
[22:00] <EriC^^> only1dcb: press ctrl+o to save
[22:00] <EriC^^> only1dcb: then ctrl+x to exit
[22:00] <Bashing-om> AlexQ: We are working a similar issue .. you might take a stroll through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection .  And I've tried those little tricks.
[22:01] <daftykins> int-main: i have nothing for you then
[22:02] <int-main> Looks like I've to spend rest of my life with Window
[22:02] <int-main> NOOOO!
[22:02] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: But the thing is it was broken in my vivid as well, but it seems to be perfect in cleanly installed or live wily.
[22:03] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: I tried purging xserver-xorg-input-synaptics on that upgraded system, and installing again, but didn't help. It must be connected to the upgrade thing, something must be left from vivid.
[22:03] <zetheroo> samthewildone: no. In the configuration itself where you enter the password and private key - I enter both and click Save ... but the passwords are not actually saved. Furthermore the VPN account seems to not even try to connect - I don't know if its because of the passwords not being saved or Network Manager screwing something else up ...
[22:05] <daftykins> int-main: what machine is it? make + model.
[22:06] <int-main> daftykins: HP Pavilion 15-206tx
[22:06] <zs3451> Hey

[22:07] <daftykins> int-main: tried older kernels, since you said 15.04 did work in the past?
[22:07] <zs3451> same problem
[22:07] <EriC^^> only1dcb: great! no problem
[22:07] <int-main> daftykins: The exact same ISO worked a while ago
[22:07] <zs3451> just got an error message: Libparted
[22:07] <int-main> daftykins: Should it have anything to do with BIOS?
[22:07] <zs3451> Input/Output error during read on /dev/sda
[22:08] <only1dcb> daftykins: Okay, now that I have GRUB the way I want it, I'm looking for guidance on installing the proper Nvidia optimus drivers instead of just the generic.  This ( http://xmodulo.com/install-configure-nvidia-optimus-driver-ubuntu.html )is what I found that looks like a decent tutorial for what I want
[22:08] <bekks> zs3451: When doing what with gparted?
[22:08] <zs3451> Just starting the program
[22:08] <daftykins> int-main: not usually, but assuming you tried my above suggestion correctly... that doesn't leave you with a lot.
[22:08] <zs3451> Ubuntu doesen't seem to be reading my IDE disk drive
[22:08] <sssa> Hello. Ubuntu backup app doesn't include .cache/dconf , .dbus and .gvfs . What's wrong?
[22:08] <int-main> daftykins: I think I should try it. There was a BIOS update but I ignored it.
[22:09] <zs3451> so i cant get past the first or second screen to format my drive in the installer
[22:09] <zs3451> i checked the "Disks" utility
[22:09] <zs3451> it shows my drive up
[22:09] <zs3451> 400 GB
[22:09] <zs3451> but I keep getting Input/Output errors.
[22:09] <zs3451> I know the drive isn't failing
[22:09] <zs3451> it just has a screwed up partition table
[22:09] <zs3451> what should I do?
[22:09] <daftykins> only1dcb: just use the ubuntu drivers GUI tool yes, ensuring it installs nvidia-prime you should be all good.
[22:09] <kubast2> Hey ,I installed ubuntu server onto kvm machine ,but I can't login through tty
[22:10] <bekks> kubast2: Why not?
[22:10] <cobordism> hello everyone.
[22:10] <kubast2> it sdoesn't react to keyboard input
[22:10] <only1dcb> daftykins: Thanks, I'll let you know if I run into problems.  :)
[22:10] <daftykins> oh i'm sure you will!
[22:11] <kubast2> While it worked just fine on install iso [15.10 ubuntu server]
[22:11] <zs3451> ;/
[22:11] <zs3451> anyone know what i should do about my drive?
[22:12] <Bashing-om> AlexQ: Yeah .. the-count and I have also been over that route .. still with a mal functioning touchpad . We have no solution to this time .
[22:12] <bekks> zs3451: you could wipe the partition table using dd.
[22:12] <zs3451> ahh
[22:12] <zs3451> with /dev/zero?
[22:12] <zs3451> good idea bekks
[22:13] <daftykins> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=5
[22:13] <daftykins> zs3451: ^
[22:13] <cobordism> I'm stuck with a problem. An upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 failed. I could not run the upgrade manager again (error message: "cannot upgrade from 'Vivid' to 'Trusty' using this tool". Yes, you read that right). Then I tried to reboot and now I get stuck in a kernel panic. .............The next thing I did was to make a bootable usb stick for 15.04 and 15.10 and I can boot from them but wifi doesn't work. I also downloaded the correct wifi driver but I can in
[22:13] <cobordism> stall but not load(?) it on the live system so I have no internet and without internet I cannot use the live system to upgrade ubuntu, only to reinstall....
[22:13] <daftykins> probably moot though
[22:13] <kubast2> the keyboard works in grub through
[22:13] <bekks> cobordism: did you update from 14.04 to 14.10 to 15.04?
[22:13] <elisa87> do you know how I can solve this connection refused problem? I am using Ubuntu? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33849107/java-net-connectexception-connection-refused ?
[22:13] <zs3451> daftykins: It did it immediately
[22:13] <zs3451> should I be worried?
[22:14] <daftykins> zs3451: no, you wrote 5MB... why would it take a long time? :)
[22:14] <cobordism> I just used the do-release-upgrade on 14.04 and it set itself to 15.04 and then failed
[22:14] <mcphail> cobordism: you are going to have to reinstall anyway. Your situation is not recoverable
[22:14] <zs3451> hahahaha it worked
[22:14] <zs3451> Thanks guys
[22:14] <daftykins> zs3451: i'm not sure i believe you on the disk's health though, run "sudo apt install smartmontools pastebinit" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX | pastebinit"
[22:14] <bekks> cobordism: Thats impossible, since a direct upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 isnt even supported.
[22:14] <AlexQ> cobordism: I would start from running apt-get autoremove ; apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
[22:15] <zs3451> daftykins: should I do this before installing?
[22:15] <eebb> Hello! Anyone willing to help me with a "missing partition" problem? I had Ubuntu+Win7 dual boot earlier. Then I updated to Win10, and my laptop booted to "grub rescue". Then, I used "Boot Repair Disk", and I am able to boot only to Windows10. My Boot Repair Disk output is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/13402884/.  How can I get back my Ubuntu partition? I assume it is the sda3..
[22:15] <daftykins> zs3451: yes
[22:15] <cobordism> I cannot get into the system now @AlexQ, I can only boot a live system. I can then mount the underlying filesystem and chroot and do that kind of stuff, but I cannot just use apt-get
[22:16] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: So it works well for you on clean wily install/wily live too?
[22:16] <cobordism> bekks: that's what do-release-upgrade does for 14.04 these days.
[22:16] <bekks> cobordism: Impossible.
[22:16] <kubast2> ok nvm ,the keyboard no longer dares to work on this kvm machine
[22:16] <Hitechcg> I recommend gparted. For some reason, gnome-disks seems to be a bit buggy, at least for me.
[22:16] <cobordism> so here is a question then, how do I make wifi work on a live system if I have the deb package with the driver?
[22:16] <zs3451> okay
[22:16] <AlexQ> cobordism: Why don't you just install the system first then?
[22:17] <zs3451> im setting it up now daftykins
[22:17] <daftykins> AlexQ: the commands you advised do not help given the information we were given about cobordism's situation :)
[22:17] <Hitechcg> crap I managed to not realize I was scrolled up :/
[22:17] <zs3451> do you want to see some sort of log file?
[22:17] <Bashing-om> AlexQ: Not my problem but that of the_count . Yes on 14.04's utopic stack it works .. not on vivid's stack  .
[22:17] <daftykins> AlexQ: please don't suggest things when you haven't read the scenario :)
[22:18] <AlexQ> daftykins: cobordism: I forgot to ask if cobordism tried to run in recovery mode
[22:18] <zs3451> daftykins: I did it
[22:18] <zs3451> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13419045/
[22:18] <daftykins> AlexQ: not gonna help a kernel panic really; please just stop
[22:19] <daftykins> zs3451: ok as it says you'll need to change it to "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX -s on | pastebinit"
[22:19] <woodpusherghd> I'm trying to install openVPN on Ubuntu desktop 14.04 and I'm running into the "invalid secrets" error when I try to connect.
[22:19] <cobordism> you can use a live system to do a system upgrade, but only if you have internet. I do not have internet, but I have a package with the correct wifi driver. Is there I way I can install the driver on the running live-system in order to get working internet?
[22:20] <bluhdz> im working with ubuntu-lxc i have the container installed and started, i just dont undertand exposing the containers to bridged adapter and giving them adress..
[22:20] <zs3451> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13419273/
[22:20] <daftykins> zs3451: i see that brand of hard disk is one from a refurbishing company, very suspect to begin with
[22:20] <dbugger> Hi fellas. When I run "sudo pm-hibernate" the screen turns black, but the comes back again the desktop. What am I missing?
[22:20] <eebb> .. and to add to what I have written above: I am now on LiveCD, and the "parted print" command finds the partition which had Ubuntu ( 3      95.7GB  320GB   224GB   extended) but it cannot find filesystem (its blank).. Please, could someone help me to get my Ubuntu back?
[22:20] <zs3451> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13419273/
[22:20] <zs3451> (incase you didn't see the other link)
[22:21] <AlexQ> cobordism: Is it impossible for you to get a wired connection set up temporarily?
[22:21] <kubast2> Ok reinitialized ubuntu server really quick ,I propablly did something to kvm config
[22:21] <cobordism> no.
[22:21] <daftykins> zs3451: anywho give your install a go now, it looks clean - still a refurb though
[22:21] <cobordism> but I figured out a solution using usb...
[22:21] <cobordism> wish me luck.
[22:21] <daftykins> zs3451: oh wait no, i ignored the errors at the bottom
[22:21] <AlexQ> Good luck then
[22:21] <Taora> hello everyone, I was unpacking a tar file, and my cursor froze. then I saw the warning that my disk has 0 space, which was not possible, given the free HDD space. and 'df -h' shows the correct available space,too. so I presume the ram has been used up? but then, why should unpacking tar use up the ram?
[22:22] <zs3451> daftykins: should I be worried about these errors?
[22:22] <AlexQ> Taora: Are you sure that the tar output was on the same drive that you looked at with df -h?
[22:22] <daftykins> zs3451: they do suggest it's not very happy; "dmesg | pastebinit" would be interesting to see
[22:23] <zs3451> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13419755/
[22:24] <Taora> or is it a similar case as this one: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39722/preventing-tar-from-using-too-much-cpu-and-disk-old-laptop-crashes-if-100 ?
[22:24] <AlexQ> Taora: Was the warning an error message from tar, or a system-wide warning from GUI?
[22:24] <zs3451> I should note that on the board i'm using, it is prone to just randomly shutting off
[22:24] <Acerio> Good evening!
[22:24] <zs3451> when i use a SATA drive
[22:24] <zs3451> that's why im using an IDE drive daftykins
[22:24] <bekks> Taora: which directory were you in when running which command?
[22:25] <only1dcb> daftykins: Success!
[22:25] <nicomachus> I installed the ppa for wine1.7, but it's giving me dependencies errors when I try to install. -f install doesn't correct it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/13419854/
[22:25] <bluhdz> iptables for ubuntu-lxc i need a good tutorial
[22:27] <woodpusherghd> Anyone experience the "invalid secrets" error whn setting up open VPN in Network manager in ubuntu desktop 14.04?
[22:27] <zs3451> daftykins: the stuff about ext4 is probably when i was going to format but then quit the installer
[22:27] <bekks> woodpusherghd: Sounds like wrong credentials.
[22:28] <zs3451> daftykins: I don't really understand all of the output, to be completely honest.
[22:28] <brack9> Is it possible to have a single iptables rule apply to multiple hosts?  I don't see a way to do that in the manpage, but there must be some way
[22:28] <daftykins> zs3451: that's a really odd choice to make after thinking of SATA issues...
[22:28] <woodpusherghd> I double checked my password and certificaye and all seems fine.
[22:28] <zs3451> daftykins: I have 3 separate sata drives that don't work on the board
[22:29] <zs3451> daftykins: i'm then led to believe that it's probably the sata controller..
[22:29] <daftykins> zs3451: i don't think it's necessarily either; probably PSU related - is it old this machine?
[22:29] <daftykins> zs3451: show me an "lspci"
[22:29] <zs3451> daftykins: Machine is about 5 years old
[22:29] <zs3451> daftykins: I think it could be the PSU
[22:29] <zs3451> daftykins: I can't decide if it is or not
[22:30] <zs3451> daftykins: maybe you're more knowledgable and can figure it out
[22:30] <zs3451> lspci
[22:30] <zs3451> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13420594/
[22:30] <daftykins> zs3451: off topic here regardless, i'd normally send folk to ##hardware but be warned , ithink they're quite unfriendly
[22:30] <daftykins> heh ah yes an nvidia chipset, felt like that was coming
[22:31] <daftykins> zs3451: you can try your install, but all those errors in dmesg? that thing is not going to work
[22:31] <zs3451> The drive has run very smoothly
[22:31] <zs3451> on arch
[22:31] <zs3451> until one day, I used the power button
[22:31] <only1dcb> daftykins: The drivers are working well.  Before I leave the channel, the driver manager had a check-box for Intel CPU firmware, is it worth using?  And finally, do you know of any decent beginners tutorials for exploring the OS, and specifically the GUI?  I have a decent one for exploring terminal already...
[22:31] <zs3451> while booting
[22:31] <zs3451> it seemed to mess up GRUB's booting process
[22:31] <daftykins> zs3451: stop pressing enter... you are spamming. i also don't need to hear its' life history
[22:32] <zs3451> Okay.
[22:32] <daftykins> only1dcb: your mouse is all you need to explore the GUI.
[22:32] <eebb> Could someone please interpret the results of "parted print" here http://paste.ubuntu.com/13420750/ . The number 3, which is 'extended' contains my Ubuntu operating system.. How can I boot onto it?
[22:32] <rampantphoto> this is the first time i've ever used IRC
[22:32] <only1dcb> daftykins: lol, nice.  But seriously, thoughts on the Intel CPU firmware?
[22:33] <zs3451> daftykins: is it more likely to be a PSU failing or the actual board itself?
[22:33] <daftykins> only1dcb: be happy when things work as they are
[22:33] <daftykins> zs3451: this isn't a hardware channel, so i can't help you further
[22:33] <zs3451> daftykins: Okay. Thanks for the help you have given me :)
[22:33] <daftykins> rampantphoto: odd, swear i've seen your nickname before... ubuntu support in here or "/j #ubuntu-offtopic" to change channel and chat
[22:34] <only1dcb> daftykins: I've been given such advice from linux / unix proficient friends.  :p  Thanks again for your help, and guidance!
[22:34] <daftykins> zs3451: one thing though, that's clearly an old system so i wouldn't waste any effort on it. i see newer stuff get thrown away all the time
[22:34] <rampantphoto> sweet, ubuntu support is what i'm looking for i posted my question up on superuser but never got an answer
[22:35] <woodpusherghd> Is there a bug in gnome network manager in ubuntu desktop 14.94 causing the "invalid secrets" error in openVPN?
[22:35] <zs3451> daftykins: Thanks for the advice, i'm sorry if I caused any problems by pressing enter too much, it's just a habbit i've developed.
[22:35] <daftykins> undo it, it portrays youth, impatience and is annoying to read :)
[22:36] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: xmodmap and xinput: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13421216/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/13421238/
[22:36] <eebb> With which command I can see all the boot options on Ubuntu (LiveCD 11.04) ?
[22:37] <rampantphoto> let me know if this isn't the place or way to ask this but:
[22:37] <MonkeyDust> eebb  you mean 14.04?
[22:37] <rampantphoto> I've set up a headless Ubuntu box on my local network. However there seems to be an issue. If, for whatever reason, I have to power down the machine, when I turn it back on, it prompts me for a username / password. I have to physically plug in a keyboard, and type my username > return > password > return and then it continues to boot. I am unable to access the machine remotely via ssh until after I've done this. I'm wondering if
[22:37] <rampantphoto>  there's a way to remove this initial login on boot step, or if I can automatically login on boot. Thank you for your help! I've searched all over and can't seem to figure out how do do this.
[22:37] <zs3451> daftykins: well as I said you've been a good help, i'll get to installing my system now and i'll probably come back on the channel later on
[22:37] <inteus> rampantphoto: did you encrypt the whole disk?
[22:37] <zs3451> Goodbye all o/
[22:37] <eebb> MonkeyDust: This is an old CD. 11.04 is what i use.
[22:38] <MonkeyDust> eebb  maybe there was a command in 11.04, but we can't tell and it's not supported here
[22:38] <Furai> What's the terminal command to switch to next keyboard layout?
[22:38] <eebb> MonkeyDust: What is the command in 14.01 then?
[22:39] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: On Vivid to Wily it was
[22:39] <hggdh> eebb: probably cat /proc/cmdline will give you it
[22:39] <inteus> rampantphoto: please reply in channel so others might also be able to help
[22:40] <eebb> MonkeyDust: I have lost my Dual-Boot Menu, and now the only option is booting to Win10. I cannot find a way to boot to my Ubuntu anymore..
[22:40] <ahmet> hi
[22:40] <Taora> hello everybody! I was unpacking a tar file, and my cursor froze. I have enough disk space. so was it because the ram was used up? I wonder if I could access my desktop if I restarted the machine. can you help me please?
[22:40] <rampantphoto> inteus: sorry, i'm also new to IRC so i'm not sure how to
[22:40] <inteus> rampantphoto: just like that! :)
[22:40] <inteus> rampantphoto: if your whole disk is encrypted, you have to enter password on boot.
[22:40] <rampantphoto> inteus: sweet, picked it up based on context right as i was typing that
[22:40] <MonkeyDust> eebb  scroll down, i'm you'll find what you need here   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[22:41] <inteus> rampantphoto: best thing for a headless setup is to encrypt per user, not whole disk
[22:41] <MonkeyDust> i'm sure*
[22:41] <eebb> hggdh Thank you. This is what I got http://paste.ubuntu.com/13421976/ .. Did not look very helpful
[22:41] <rampantphoto> inteus: sweet, that's something i haven't looked into. let me do some research on that. unless you have some quick off the cuff advice as to how to find that out / do what you said
[22:41] <eebb> MonkeyDust: Thank you, I will read that
[22:42] <inteus> rampantphoto: yeah, I don't use whole disk encryption, so I'm not sure what to look for.
[22:42] <MonkeyDust> eebb  and try to get a supported ubuntu release
[22:43] <rampantphoto> inteus: np, that's what google is for. having a direction to search is super helpful
[22:43] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: Are you sure the problem is connected with the synaptics driver, or even X at all? Maybe it is some gtk lib issue or sth? How does e.g. gedit decide which scrolling method to use (which even to receive, or maybe is it that only one of two event types is sent?)?
[22:43] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: Can you just disable smooth scrolling?
[22:43] <inteus> rampantphoto: I've run into the issue before, was running automated stuff at boot and it wasn't moving past the encryption password issue.
[22:44] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Does ANYONE know what "Starting SMB/CIFS File and Active Directory Server [FAIL]" means when SHUTTING DOWN?
[22:44] <MonkeyDust> VictoriaXOXO  careful now with the caps
[22:45] <MonkeyDust> VictoriaXOXO  and isnt AD a windows thing?
[22:45] <VictoriaXOXO> MonkeyDust: This is a Linux box. I've never had Windows on it...
[22:45] <VictoriaXOXO> :/
[22:45] <eebb> MonkeyDust: I have the latest Ubuntu installed.. The LiveCD is just old. But I have also this Boot Repair Disk from sourgeforge (latest version). Not sure if it has latest Ubuntu or whatever Linux.
[22:46] <tachyondecay> Whoo! Got Ubuntu working on my new XPS 15 without nuking the Windows installation. Touchscreen, touchpad is all working out of the box. Amazing.
[22:46] <compdoc> VictoriaXOXO, I think thats just part of the new samba. you probably have an error at boot as well. its not setup or working
[22:46] <eebb> MonkeyDust: Do you know the requirements for a partition to the "bootable"?
[22:47] <MonkeyDust> eebb  not sure what you mean
[22:47] <VictoriaXOXO> compdoc: Oh, okay. What would be the easiest way of getting rid of it? Even if it doesn't disturb me THAT much.
[22:47] <huisk_> whats the dirrents between Ubuntu en Ubuntu Kylin?
[22:48] <MonkeyDust> huisk_  kylin is chinese
[22:48] <rampantphoto> inteus: from what i can tell it's not encrypted. something to note, the password to login on boot is not the same as my password for root.
[22:48] <Seveas> huisk_: kylin focuses on the chinese user, so I'm guessing it comes with chinese as default language and has some additional packages specifically aimed at chinese users.
[22:48] <inteus> rampantphoto: is it just asking for a password? or a login name too?
[22:48] <rampantphoto> login name as well
[22:49] <inteus> huh
[22:49] <eebb> MonkeyDust: Well, I mean that is there anything wrong in this http://paste.ubuntu.com/13420750/, since the Ubuntu partition is the partition number 3. It does not have file system or any flags.. And the type is extended?
[22:49] <huisk_> ubuntu is that a safe OS? Better then W10? i use now U 15.10 64B
[22:49] <inteus> rampantphoto: that's not an encryption problem then. It won't let you remote into the box without logging in at the box itself?
[22:50] <rampantphoto> inteus: correct
[22:50] <inteus> rampantphoto: maybe its something with your sshd settings...I have limited knowledge about that though.
[22:50] <Bashing-om> AlexQ: Away from the key board .. lemme catch up .
[22:50] <VictoriaXOXO> compdoc: Oh, okay. What would be the easiest way of getting rid of it? Even if it doesn't disturb me THAT much.
[22:51] <MonkeyDust> eebb  scroll down to <7>   http://askubuntu.com/questions/151968/what-does-the-term-extended-partition-mean-is-it-safe-to-use-this-type-of-par
[22:51] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: Okay, gonna log events on this OS as well and then boot into clean wily where everything works correctly
[22:52] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: What about the xserver-xorg-input-multitouch package? I don't have that one installed (but on neither OS I think). What is it for?
[22:53] <VictoriaXOXO> MonkeyDust: Do I really need Samba? :/
[22:53] <baiter> u don't like samba?
[22:54] <VictoriaXOXO> baiter: No opinion. Do I need it? :P
[22:54] <MonkeyDust> VictoriaXOXO  shelter, food and water is all we really need ... samba is a protocol to let linux communicate with windows
[22:54] <baiter> i use it create network drive, so you can have a storage device shared in a network
[22:54] <eebb> MonkeyDust: Thank you. Really appreciate it. I will have a look.
[22:54] <VictoriaXOXO> MonkeyDust: Then I want to remove it. What is the proper way to delete Samba completely?
[22:55] <MonkeyDust> VictoriaXOXO  how did you install it?
[22:55] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: foolish.
[22:55] <Avocado_> hi ubuntu people
[22:55] <Avocado_> I just switched over to ubuntu for the first time in my life
[22:55] <Avocado_> Im digging it so far, but have some questions
[22:55] <VictoriaXOXO> MonkeyDust: I never installed it.
[22:55] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Why?!
[22:55] <Na3iL> hey Avocado_ go ahead and ask :)
[22:55] <Avocado_> I made an .sh file and put it in startup applications so that it executes on boot
[22:55] <Avocado_> I wanted my monitor display to set its refresh rate at 144hz
[22:55] <Avocado_> so I put this in the sh file
[22:55] <Avocado_> xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 -r 144
[22:56] <Avocado_> when I reboot, my refresh rate is at 60.0
[22:56] <Avocado_> what do i do wrong?
[22:56] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: If you think it's foolish, then you could help me with getting rid of this error and still keep Samba. "Starting SMB/CIFS File and Active Directory Server [FAIL]"
[22:56] <Seveas> Avocado_: that won't work. That script doesn't know which display to use, and depending one where it's executed from may not even have access to the display.
[22:57] <Avocado_> its executed from home/startup scripts
[22:57] <Avocado_> i made that folder there
[22:58] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: no, you don't use it - an error doesn't matter. you're not even sure what the error means right now.
[22:58] <Seveas> that's entirely not the point. What's executing it? An initscript? Something that runs when you login? Does it run as your user?
[22:58] <Avocado_> an sh file that i run through startup applications
[22:58] <rampantphoto> inteus: do you think it may have something to do with a profile or something as simple as that?
[22:58] <Avocado_> the internet said it would work that way
[22:58] <baiter> he said he used startup application to run it
[22:58] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Are you really going to refuse to help me because YOU don't think a error matter? :/
[22:58] <Avocado_> Ah
[22:59] <Avocado_> I see the script doesnt work
[22:59] <Avocado_> xrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1080
[22:59] <Seveas> Avocado_: what's this 'startup applications'?
[22:59] <Avocado_> its standard in ubuntu
[22:59] <Avocado_> programs that run on bootup
[22:59] <Seveas> no, they don't run on bootup
[22:59] <Seveas> they run when you log in
[22:59] <Seveas> significant difference :)
[22:59] <inteus> rampantphoto: ssh should work right after installation. I've never had to mess with the configuration.
[22:59] <Avocado_> technically right, but you know what I mean
[23:00] <bekks> Avocado_: its still not clear what you did where, exactly. Where did you create which folder?
[23:00] <baiter> Avocado_: 1. did you try setting your default resolution to 1920x1080 in settings? 2. did you test the script without startup applications? 3. does it need permissions to run?
[23:01] <Seveas> try not using --mode but --fb
[23:01] <Seveas> and if that still doesn't work, add --display=:0
[23:01] <Avocado_> 1. yes, 2. no, i see that my script doesnt work 3. yes, but i set chmod +x on it
[23:02] <rampantphoto> inteus: if my setup wasn't such a paint to move, i'd plugin a monitor to see why it's asking me for a login. is there a way after ssh-ing in to go back and read that login prompt?
[23:02] <baiter> Avocado_: first, i'd press command key + search "display"
[23:02] <inteus> you could try looking at /var/log/bootlog
[23:02] <inteus> rampantphoto: you could try looking at /var/log/bootlog
[23:03] <Avocado_> Seveas, xrandr: unrecognized option '--display=:0'
[23:03] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Does anyone know how to fix this error? "Starting SMB/CIFS File and Active Directory Server [FAIL]"
[23:03] <Seveas> Avocado_: replace the = witha single space
[23:03] <int-main> daftykins: Just tried with updated BIOS. Same :(
[23:03] <Seveas> xrandr is annoying and doesn't accept the =
[23:03] <inteus> rampantphoto: or /var/log/auth.log
[23:03] <Avocado_> Rate 144.0 Hz not available for this size
[23:03] <Avocado_> Thats weird, my monitor is 144hz
[23:04] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13424150/ - vivid to wily xev, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13424158/ - vivid to wily evtest
[23:04] <egggs> will the video card go that high ? avocado
[23:05] <Avocado_> yes egggs, i use it on windows too
[23:05] <Avocado_> i think i messed up the command
[23:05] <egggs> or more the drivers your are using,    i dont know just throwing out stuff
[23:05] <Avocado_> xrandr -s 1920x1080 -r 144
[23:05] <Na3iL> VictoriaXOXO, Ubuntu uses a service initializer called Upstart which start all the services in /etc/init
[23:05] <Na3iL> So just delete the startup script there called samba-ad-dc.conf
[23:06] <Avocado_> weird, i switched to nvidia driver and suddenly i cant put my refresh rate that high
[23:06] <Bashing-om> AlexQ: Look'n at http://paste.ubuntu.com/13424150/ .
[23:07] <VictoriaXOXO> Na3iL: Easy enough. Thanks a lot! :D
[23:07] <Na3iL> you are welcome :)
[23:07] <rampantphoto> inteus: that definitely tells me something, just not sure what haha. thanks for the help btw
[23:08] <Avocado_> Got it to work!
[23:08] <hduser> hi all
[23:08] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: So both these files were just scrolling up and down with two fingers, didn't want to make them too large with other events. Also, the capabilities list tells the touchpad supports multitouch, obviously. I think it will be interesting to see these files generated on freshly installed willy, where scrolling works well, so rebooting there. Will be back in a sec
[23:08] <Avocado_> xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 144
[23:08] <rampantphoto> Nov 15 06:25:57 ALFHEIM CRON[21893]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
[23:08] <rampantphoto> Nov 15 06:47:01 ALFHEIM CRON[22445]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
[23:08] <Avocado_> this one worked
[23:08] <rampantphoto> inteus: this mean anything to you?
[23:08] <inteus> rampantphoto: can you pastebin it?
[23:08] <Avocado_> but doesnt the output "DVI-I-2" change?
[23:08] <Avocado_> like its dynamic?
[23:09] <rampantphoto> inteus: sure
[23:09] <inteus> rampantphoto: that's just stuff running in the background. That's ok.
[23:10] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: I am on clean wily now.
[23:10] <tobiasz> hello
[23:10] <AlexQ> evening tobiasz
[23:11] <rampantphoto> inteus: msg or board?
[23:11] <eebb> Anyone know how to recover Ubuntu from unallocated File system? (see image http://ibin.co/2NMnJAe4OKDZ)
[23:11] <inteus> rampantphoto: no need, those messages are about root running cron jobs in the background. those are ok
[23:11] <rampantphoto> oh ok
[23:12] <Na3iL> take a look eebb → https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[23:12] <inteus> rampantphoto: I'm baffled as to why you would have to login at the actual console instead of just ssh'ing in
[23:12] <rampantphoto> inteus: well that makes me feel better.
[23:13] <VictoriaXOXO> Na3iL: You seem smart. Do you also know why I get notifications for almost everything (MATE), but not for when VPN disconnects or when my network disconnects?
[23:13] <eebb> Na3iL: Thanks, I will check that
[23:14] <Bashing-om> AlexQ: Presently baffeled as to what is not being interpreted from where . Keep in mind there are several bug reports that are pointing the fingers at the proprietary code .
[23:14] <rampantphoto> inteus: i'm seeing a lot of "Fails password for root from ---ip---"
[23:15] <Na3iL> I tried mate for 2 months, not that professional use
[23:15] <Na3iL> but I will search for it VictoriaXOXO
[23:15] <VictoriaXOXO> Na3iL: Wooooop! :)
[23:15] <Avocado_> So I was booting up just now and suddenly I got this error message before booting up ubuntu:
[23:15] <inteus> rampantphoto: is that an ssh message in the log file?
[23:15] <Avocado_> dm_parse_tocblock(): Cannot find TOCBLOCK, database may be corrupt
[23:15] <Avocado_> i googled but couldnt find any answer
[23:15] <inteus> rampantphoto: and is that from your IP?
[23:15] <Na3iL> BTW, VictoriaXOXO is it Ubuntu MATE or just a DE?
[23:16] <VictoriaXOXO> Na3iL: Well, Ubuntu with MATE over. :P
[23:17] <rampantphoto> it's not from my ip, but when i google the ip it says it's from Korea?
[23:17] <Onepamopa> anyone got problem updating from 15.04 -> 15.10 ?
[23:17] <rampantphoto> inteus: the first result is from the anti hacker alliance haha
[23:17] <Onepamopa> few packages failed to install, after which the updater failed
[23:18] <Na3iL> You are using proxy or a manual config in your browser rampantphoto
[23:18] <BlastRed> Test
[23:18] <Na3iL> Nope Onepamopa what kind of problem you get?
[23:18] <inteus> rampantphoto: do you port forward from your router to your ubuntu? that could leave you open to the world.
[23:18] <AlexQ> Onepamopa: For me it was a disaster, but luckily managed to solve. Maybe start from checking dist-upgrade log?
[23:18] <Onepamopa> Na3iL, I'll pastebin what I can from the log.
[23:18] <rampantphoto> inteus: yes, i think so.
[23:18] <BlastRed>  Hello, i've recentely replaced my hard drive with a new one, which has w7 on it and a bunch of my ol' files. i keep getting the error "OS not found", but if i boot up my disk drive and go on linux mint, its mountable and i see all my w7 files... whats wrong with it?
[23:18] <rampantphoto> Na3il: not that i know of
[23:19] <rampantphoto> i'm quite new at this, so i'm probably making more than one mistake
[23:19] <BlastRed> (thanks Bashing-om )
[23:19] <BlastRed> +others
[23:19] <MonkeyDust> rampantphoto  type this in a termina (those are backticks, not quotes)    whois `curl ifconfig.me`
[23:19] <inteus> rampantphoto: you should use a different external port to point to internal port 22....something like 2222...makes it more secure...non-default.
[23:19] <mrrob0t> hey
[23:20] <BlastRed> Help?
[23:20] <Onepamopa> Na3iL, well, I can't copy from the "Distribution upgrade" window for some reason. Any of this logged anywhere ?
[23:20] <BlastRed>  == Cannot send to channel: ##hardware (wtf why?)
[23:20] <BlastRed> i cant say anything in the hardware channel!
[23:20] <Onepamopa> it sits on "sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
[23:20] <AlexQ> Bashing-om: Well, the only thing I actually want to achieve is for the scrolling to work on my vivid upgraded to wily as it works on my freshly installed wily. There just has to be some different package, or config remaining from vivid there? Really no idea how to look for that? I don't know much about that stuff.
[23:21] <Na3iL> BlastRed, you ask that question in #freenode
[23:21] <BlastRed> Na3iL:  #freenode?
[23:21] <rampantphoto> MonkeyDust: ok, did that
[23:21] <Onepamopa> the failed packages: mysql-common libmysqlclient18:amd64 mysql-client-5.6 freeradius-mysql libmysqlclient-dev
[23:21] <Na3iL> and btw, the channel's owner sets the mode of channel -i That means only voices people can talk
[23:21] <BlastRed> Na3iL:  oh yeah lol my bad
[23:21] <UbuN2> got to regiter nickss in some channels BlastRed
[23:22] <Onepamopa> AlexQ, how did u manage to salvage the situation ?
[23:22] <Na3iL> VictoriaXOXO, I am sorry but I think it is a bug
[23:22] <BlastRed> UbuN2: how do i reg for ##hardware
[23:22] <VictoriaXOXO> Na3iL: Oh, no! :(
[23:23] <inteus> !register | BlastRed
[23:23] <BlastRed> Okay, thanks
[23:23] <UbuN2> ^^
[23:24] <Na3iL> VictoriaXOXO, I will search if anyone declared the bug in LP, meanwhile you can install directly Ubuntu MATE it is more stable as I think..
[23:24] <AlexQ> Onepamopa: Well, the worst thing for seemed to be that I had linux-generic package missing (probably my fault, I think it was removed automatically when removing something else before upgrade...) so I ended up without updated kernel, and the old one seemed  to have issues.
[23:24] <AlexQ> Onepamopa: But I would really start from checking update log. It is in a folder in /var/log/ ..., don't remember exactly.
[23:25] <the_count> Bashing-om: back
[23:25] <rampantphoto> inteus: yes, i think so. not sure how to do that off hand, but i'll look it up. thanks
[23:25] <noah> Why does the 14.04 to 15.04 upgrade fail? I have a ASUS M3A78CM Motherboard, a AMD Athlon processor, 4G of RAM and a 250G Harddisk.
[23:25] <mlvmhn> my system hangs when i run qbittorent, but not when it is not running. why is this??
[23:26] <Avocado_> how do i install google chrome on ubuntu?
[23:26] <MonkeyDust> noah  how did you upgrade? via 14.10 or a fresh install?
[23:26] <Na3iL> noah, It is not possible to upgrade directly from 14.04 to 15.04. These days a lot of people think that 15.04 is LTS.
[23:26] <VictoriaXOXO> Na3iL: No time for that. :(
[23:26] <Na3iL> You can upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10, then to 15.04. Or just make a fresh install.
[23:27] <inteus> rampantphoto: you will probably keep getting unautorized ssh attempts while port 22 is open to the internet. not a huge problem if you have very secure passwords.
[23:27] <noah> In order to install Google Chrome, you must first use apt-add-repository to add the chrome repo. Then install frome Ubuntu Software Center
[23:27] <noah> I upgraded from 14.04, not clean install.
[23:27] <AlexQ> Avocado_: Or you can just download a package from Google (64 or 32 bit one). That should add Google's repo automatically as well. You might consider Chromium as well, which is in Ubuntu repo.
[23:27] <noah> OK. I'll try that. Thanks.
[23:27] <MonkeyDust> noah  so first to 14.10 and then to 15.04?
[23:28] <Avocado_> yeah i just dled it from googles website
[23:28] <Avocado_> how do i know which repo is google's?
[23:28] <Avocado_> to do the add repo thing
[23:28] <Na3iL> VictoriaXOXO, my humble opinion is to try more DE, I tried most of them and I am satisfied now with Awesome wm
