[12:38] <SP33D> can some one tell me how to set server hostnames realy right?
[12:38] <SP33D> i think i do something wrong sometimes it works but i now whant to fix that
[12:39] <cfhowlett> !server | SP33D
[12:39] <SP33D> when a server runs for example on go.com and responds on that host whats its hostname its go?
[12:39] <SP33D> where do i set the .com
[12:39] <SP33D> or is the hostname always the full hostname?
[12:41] <SP33D> for example if i have 3 servers go.com s1.go.com s2.go.com s3.go.com
[12:42] <cfhowlett> SP33D, most of the server users are in the server channel ...
[12:42] <SP33D> ok
[12:42] <SP33D> then asking other question how to set own hostname right
[12:42] <SP33D> for example this box
[12:43] <TeraJL> i've installed pipelight, but the page i'm trying the login is not working (its working on both windows and mac with same login and password), does anyone have an idea of something to try? i've tried "data tamper"  on firefox but when i click on login i get nothing, i've tried to do login on mac and copy silverlight data files but it did not worked as well.. and wireshark i'm not very good with it
[12:44] <sakamop> If you just want to set hostname, you need to change /etc/hosts and etc/hostname then reboot. If you need to your name resolution etc, I have no idea.
[12:44] <SP33D> got it
[12:44] <SP33D> it gets set with domainname command
[12:45] <SP33D> so thats the answer hostname = name of the single box and the domain then via  domainname so example .tld

[12:49] <Tharuler03> Is anyone running Ubuntu 14.04 in Hyper V Gen 2?
[12:55] <typ_> i've had nothing but bad experiences with hyper-v and linux guests
[12:56] <Tharuler03> Ok thanks. I was going to try it out but i think i'll go with Virtual Box
[12:58] <Guest58558> tt
[12:58] <darksider> how can i load a module at startup?
[12:59] <darksider> instead of manually modprobe?
[12:59] <mistawright> hi guys i need some help. i am trying to build a kernel and add support for fbtft to it. I have checked out the kernel sources and added the drivers to my kernel/drivers/video folder. I have also ran the commands to add it to the make file etc. however when i do make menuconfig i do not see it in the options. Can anyone help with this?
[13:00] <cfhowlett> !kernel | mista
[13:00] <adminewb> darksider, try "man modprobe.d"
[13:01] <mistawright> the compiling of the kernel is not the issue. the driver that i added to kconfig not showing up in menuconfig  is the issue
[13:02] <typ_> Tharuler03: i would advise that
[13:02] <darksider> adminewb: thanks, just added it to /etc/modules
[13:02] <darksider> :)
[13:02] <typ_> hyper-v has like 1-2 linux distris wich are supported for their integration service
[13:02] <adminewb> welcome
[13:03] <typ_> go with vmware or virtualbox or kvm even
[13:03] <typ_> but i guess you have a windows host
[13:03] <typ_> virtualbox has no clustering
[13:03] <yecril71pl> Why does the file owner have a trailing slash in Nautilus?
[13:04] <leliviakid> what's the usual cpu usage? i mean if i'm just using firefox
[13:04] <yecril71pl> Why does the file owner have a trailing hyphen in Nautilus?
[13:05] <elmaestro> how can i mute onboard speaker if am using external speakers as output?
[13:05] <Tharuler03> Yes i do, running Windows 8.1. But will give VMware a go now i'm thinking, thanks
[13:07] <marc32> does anyone use a "Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359]" under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
[13:08] <typ_> Tharuler03: not that much "supported" linux guests for vmware either
[13:08] <typ_> but i have not found a guest that couldn't run the integration service
[13:08] <typ_> but i mostly run debian flavoured anyway
[13:09] <Tharuler03> ok cool, thanks :)
[13:12] <sijo_> Hi - how can I assign static IP for a VMware Virtual Machine, after installing Ubuntu 12.04 in it..?
[13:13] <hateball> marc32: Are you taking a poll, or do you have a support question?
[13:13] <svip> How do I configure networking to request a specific IP without creating another interface?
[13:13] <svip> I can get it to lock onto my IP, but then it creates eth0:0 in addition to eth0, which uses the leased IP by the DHCP server.
[13:13] <svip> I don't want two IPs.
[13:16] <adminewb> elmaestro, is this relevant? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970688

[13:19] <Dickens> in unity/nautilus how do I get the default directory view to be in list format... it seems i have to change it for every folder
[13:19] <Dickens> i want to apply it to all folders tho
[13:19] <Dickens> also is there a way to show "hidden" files in the GUI like in windows
[13:20] <Dickens> I know i can run ls as sudo and see them but i'm wondering if the GUI can as well

[13:24] <elmaestro> how do i adjust screen resolution?
[13:25] <debsan> Dickens, will be permanent. To toogle off you need to press ctrl+h again

[13:41] <cfhowlett> !lucid|elmaestro,
[13:41] <jatt> mikeg3: just for troubleshooting: what happens if you do Ctrl-Alt-F3 and try to login there? it asks for a password?
[13:41] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade
[13:42] <cfhowlett> elmaestro, you'd have to attempt an eolupgrade to 12.04 and then to 14.04   lot less painful and opportunity for error if you just clean install 14.04
[13:43] <elmaestro> cool, so download iso of 14.04
[13:43] <mikeg3> Jatt: At what point should I press Ctrl-Alt-F3….as soon as it starts after the BIOS
[13:43] <cfhowlett> elmaestro, 1.404.1

[14:44] <anoneemouse> hi. as of 14.04 my usb bluetooth adapter is no longer working
[14:45] <badbugz> xrandr says HDMI1, VGA1 and LVDS1 all connected
[14:45] <anoneemouse> It shows up in lsusb: 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
[14:45] <badbugz> however, xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --right-of VGA1 --output VGA1 --auto --scale 1.0001x1.0001 --verbose
[14:45] <badbugz> xrandr: cannot find crtc for output LVDS1
[14:47] <anoneemouse> can someone help? It doesn't show up in hcitool. I already tried installing linux-firmware (already installed). hcitool dev shows nothing
[14:47] <sydney> Should i even have a swap with 1gig of ram? My pc loves to bog because of swapping. i have swappiness turned down. ;)
[14:48] <badbugz> if i xrandr --output HDMI1 --off, then xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --right-of VGA1 --output VGA1 --auto --scale 1.0001x1.0001 --verbose then VGA1 displays
[14:48] <hollenjf> hello all... i had a cam corder record video dvd footge onto a dvd-r 30min disc... how can I mount or import the data onto my pc... i cant seem to see it in dmesg or anything
[14:49] <badbugz> is there some quirks with how dual triple displays work in 14.04? mind you i have never tried hdmi+vga at the same time
[14:49] <cfhowlett> sydney, 1 gig of ram?  you'd probably find l/x/ubuntu much faster.  test:  sudo apt-get install xfce4 lxde              logout/choose xfce4/lxde       session.  login.
[14:49] <sydney> cfhowlett: um,i am using lxde :P
[14:49] <sydney> cfhowlett: and it still loves to bog out,but not near as much :P
[14:49] <cfhowlett> sydney, how big is swap?
[14:50] <sydney> cfhowlett: 1gig
[14:50] <sydney> cfhowlett: swappiness = 20
[14:50] <cfhowlett> sydney, 20 gigs ram?  no way.  2 should be plenty
[14:50] <liam_> Liam
[14:50] <cfhowlett> sydney, 2 gig swap
[14:50] <elmaestro> guys how do i disable onboard speaker in favor of my other sound system from headphone jack?
[14:51] <sydney> hollenjf: when you plug the camcorder  into the computer,does the computer recognize it?
[14:51] <sydney> cfhowlett: what are you talking about? I have 1gig of ram,1 gig of swap,and my swappiness is set at 20?
[14:51] <hollenjf> sydney: just have the disc... camcorder was a loaner..
[14:51] <cfhowlett> !swap | sydney,

[14:53] <noir_> How can I make a bash script that mounts a non-mounted NTFS drive?
[14:53] <lord4163> cfhowlett: Had to turn off "Normal scrolling", I think this is normal scrolling? :P
[14:56] <badbugz> does anyone here use dual monitor with ubuntu?
[14:56] <badbugz> what hardware am i looking to get if i need hdmi dual display?
[14:57] <badbugz> i think i've got decent graphics card (fglrx - radeon 6xxxM)
[14:58] <badbugz> maybe just stick with vga switch :P
[14:58] <badbugz> hdmi splitter's not cheap
[14:59] <OSaddict> If I have a non-bootable flash drive with a FAT partition and a Linux kernel on it, how do I install GRUB to the flash drive and make it bootable?
[15:00] <badbugz> i do have this aten mini kvm switch but 14.04 detects that EDID is invalid somehow :(
[15:01] <badbugz> OSaddict: grub-install /dev/<usb device>
[15:01] <OSaddict> I did sudo grub-install --force /dev/sdb, but when I try to boot the flash drive, I only get a flashing cursor.
[15:01] <badbugz> OSaddict: fdisk /dev/sdb
[15:01] <badbugz> make it bootable
[15:01] <darksider> how can I report a system crash in ubuntu?

[15:13] <optrusty> pmjdebru1jn: so what now
[15:14] <pmjdebru1jn> optrusty: what now how
[15:14] <pmjdebru1jn> optrusty: you can either try it yourself see if it's been fixed in the meanwhile
[15:14] <pmjdebru1jn> or take a look at ubuntu-default-builder
[15:15] <optrusty> pmjdebru1jn: Does it have a GUI
[15:15] <optrusty> lol
[15:15] <pmjdebru1jn> or just fix the issues uck has, and try to contribute to that
[15:15] <pmjdebru1jn> optrusty: no ubuntu-defaults-builder doesn't have a GUI
[15:15] <optrusty> pmjdebru1jn: Does it have a CLI
[15:15] <pmjdebru1jn> yes
[15:15] <pmjdebru1jn> does anybody here have experience with creating unity webapps
[15:16] <optrusty> pmjdebru1jn: Any alts
[15:17] <OerHeks> hi pmjdebru1jn, unity search lenses ?
[15:17] <pmjdebru1jn> no clue
[15:17] <pmjdebru1jn> OerHeks: hi... no webapps
[15:17] <MeXTuX> This error is showing when booting: usb 1-1.3: string descriptor 0 read error: -22 maybe it's something I can't fix but would like to hide it. Is there a fix for this or can I just hide all boot messages?
[15:17] <pmjdebru1jn> optrusty: again uck might be fixed now, try and see
[15:17] <pmjdebru1jn> I'm just warning you that it might be broken
[15:18] <pmjdebru1jn> OerHeks: as in the oxide stuff

[15:18] <pmjdebru1jn> presumably with a meta tag

[15:21] <kostkon> pmjdebru1jn, http://developer.ubuntu.com/web/
[15:21] <OerHeks> pmjdebru1jn, i guess you already found http://developer.ubuntu.com/web/cookbook/
[15:22] <PwrSurge> can anyone tell me how  it's possible 14.04 was released?
[15:22] <PwrSurge> extremely buggy, does not even qualify for an alpha
[15:22] <badbugz> hmm.... i just turned off LVDS1 while using the VGA1 and HDMI1. works ok
[15:22] <pmjdebru1jn> PwrSurge: it works just fine for most people
[15:22] <PwrSurge> still can't get intel accelerated graphics working
[15:22] <badbugz> atleast dual monitor works (was really trying to get triple to work :(
[15:22] <pmjdebru1jn> PwrSurge: did you try 14.04.1?
[15:22] <pbx> PwrSurge, if you have a specific problem you need help with, give details and ask for help
[15:22] <cfhowlett> PwrSurge, this is not the place for rants.  if you want assistance, provide details of your issues and wait for volunteer assistance or get paid assistance from canonical
[15:23] <pmjdebru1jn> PwrSurge and what particular Intel?
[15:23] <badbugz> rants rants no more rants
[15:23] <OerHeks> Darktable runs fine on Unity :-D
[15:23] <badbugz> #ubuntu does not tolerate rants!

[15:23] <pmjdebru1jn> vdpau?
[15:24] <pmjdebru1jn> isn't that experimental stuff?
[15:24] <pmjdebru1jn> oh no
[15:24] <pmjdebru1jn> PwrSurge: having vdpau not working, is a far shot away from "my intel isn't working"
[15:24] <PwrSurge> let me try to reboot
[15:24] <pmjdebru1jn> it's merely a minor optimization feature
[15:24] <badbugz> what does it do?
[15:24] <PwrSurge> the whole desktop is unaccelerated
[15:25] <pmjdebru1jn> PwrSurge: that has nothing to do with vdpau
[15:25]  * badbugz looks right
[15:25]  * badbugz looks left
[15:25] <pmjdebru1jn> PwrSurge: and usually you don't have that package
[15:25] <pmjdebru1jn> PwrSurge: try a clean 14.04.1 live cd
[15:25] <cfhowlett> !behelpful|badbugz,
[15:26] <pmjdebru1jn> oh well
[15:26] <ses1984> hi-- i'm having a problem with a machine crashing randomly. i pulled the hard drive out and put it into a known working machine. when i boot, i just get a blinking cursor

[15:26] <ses1984> i have verified in the bios boot menu that i'm trying to boot this hard drive
[15:27] <badbugz> interesting. i should get acceleration to work properly now under this new ati driver
[15:28] <badbugz> ses1984: oh boy. did you corrupt your mbr or something?
[15:29] <kilianp> hello
[15:30] <badbugz> hiya
[15:30] <ses1984> badbugz: i don't think the hard drive is corrupted, if i put it back in the crashing machine, it boots fine
[15:31] <ses1984> i've tried setting the bios hard drive mode to ide and ahci and i get a blinking cursor with both
[15:31] <badbugz> ses1984: ahh i didn't get the "boots fine" part. cool
[15:31] <ses1984> i'm booting into a live ubuntu usb key, hopefully i can figure out how to fix grub?
[15:31] <kaizoku> hello world
[15:31] <badbugz> ses1984: and what happens when you liveusb the failing machine?
[15:31] <cfhowlett> kaizoku, ask your ubuntu questions
[15:32] <ses1984> i dont know, haven't tried? it only fails once every 12-24 hours
[15:32] <kaizoku> why?
[15:32] <ses1984> i'm live booting the replacement machine with the hd from the failing machine in it, trying to figure out how i can boot from that drive
[15:32] <cfhowlett> ses1984, I'd suggest you my have a failing drive.
[15:32] <kaizoku> it's only for ubunut support ?
[15:32] <scotty^> kaizoku - 42
[15:33] <cfhowlett> !topic | kaizoku,
[15:33] <ses1984> cfhowlett: i'll check that with smart
[15:33] <badbugz> ses1984: oh so random crash. post the kernel log after your system crashes and reboot takes place.
[15:33] <kaizoku> okay , sorry about that :)
[15:33] <badbugz> ses1984: yeah smartctl can give you some indication
[15:33] <badbugz> ses1984: what's the current status of the drive? current kernel log?
[15:34] <badbugz> ses1984: what happens if you plug a new drive into the failing machine?
[15:34] <kostkon> !offtopic | kaizoku, there is the offtopic channel for general chat
[15:34] <badbugz> (a new drive with buntu on it)
[15:35] <mjuszczak> I can't for the life of me pull a source package from launchpad.  I've been trying for days.  How would one pull the source package for a user's ffmpeg package?
[15:35] <badbugz> isn't there some incanation of apt-add-repo or something?
[15:35] <cfhowlett> mjuszczak, ffmpeg has been deprecated in favor of libav-tools   (avconv replaces ffmpeg)
[15:36] <badbugz> the bloke wants the src. give him the src! :)
[15:36] <cfhowlett> ses1984, test your mobo with an ubuntu USB?
[15:36] <kaizoku> it's the first time :X , thanx for ur info. , if i hv any Qs I will come here ^_^
[15:36] <badbugz> (oh that just adds a new lp repo)
[15:37] <OerHeks> mjuszczak, what package exactly ?
[15:37] <badbugz> any more problems anyones having with ubuntu.
[15:38] <rihbyne> in 13.04  LTS I want my global menu bar to be always visible. any how to for this?
[15:38] <rihbyne> currently it autohides when we dont hover over it or press keystroke for menu bar
[15:38] <ses1984> cfhowlett: how does one test a mobo?
[15:39] <cfhowlett> rihbyne, 13.04 is NOT LTS.  nor is it supported anymore.  12.04 is LTS
[15:39] <cfhowlett> ses1984, if you get a boot from a ubuntu USB, the problem you see is not your mobo ...
[15:40] <ses1984> cfhowlett: in the known working machine or the crashing machine? both of them boot just fine. the crashing machine doesn't crash except after ~12 hours or more
[15:40] <scotty^> rihbyne: Also, in 14.04 you can set menus to be displayed in the window's title bar instead of in the global menu bar.
[15:40] <cfhowlett> ses1984, test the crash machine.
[15:41] <hey_joe_> i tried to install memcached (without knowing anything about it) using apt-get install memcached - well, the install froze, and now it forces me to use dpkg reconfigure -a everytime i try to purge memcached
[15:41] <ses1984> well, booting is no problem. but that rule out the motherboard being bad. it's just OK enough to boot, possibly not OK enough to have a stable system
[15:41] <hey_joe_> and fails again. what do i do?
[15:41] <badbugz> ses1984: i suggest you capture the kernel log after the crash and post it where someone can view it
[15:41] <hey_joe_> i just want memcached removed and all remains of it
[15:42] <badbugz> ses1984: it could be driver crash, software crash or hardware - until somehow reviews the logs, there's no way to read the systems brain
[15:43] <ses1984> badbugz: i'm not asking for help to figure out what's wrong with crashing machine. i'm just trying to figure out how to boot the known working machine...which i think should be booting but for some reason i'm getting just a cursor. i'm fixing grub now and about to reboot to see what happens
[15:43] <badbugz> hey_joe_: apt-get remove --purge memcached
[15:43] <badbugz> hey_joe_: apt-get remove --purge -y memcached
[15:43] <hey_joe_> badbugz: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[15:43] <badbugz> hey_joe_: so run that
[15:43] <hey_joe_> running dpkg --configure -a freezes system again
[15:43] <hey_joe_> on memcached install
[15:45] <badbugz> hey_joe_: ctrl+alt+f1 and try again.
[15:45] <badbugz> hey_joe_: freezes. why freezes?
[15:45] <hey_joe_> not sure
[15:46] <badbugz> hey_joe_: ctrl+alt+f1 and try again.
[15:46] <hey_joe_> i think it's a problem with my custom system authentication
[15:46] <hey_joe_> libnss-mysql
[15:46] <hey_joe_> im on a mac...
[15:47] <badbugz> ses1984: what happens if you press escape when you get that cursor? anything in ctrl+alt+f1?
[15:47] <ses1984> nothing
[15:47] <ses1984> just cursor
[15:47] <badbugz> cycle
[15:47] <badbugz> ctrl+alt+f1...f6
[15:47] <ses1984> i think the issue might be the the crashing computer was efi and the known working one is not
[15:48] <badbugz> does your bios offer 'efi disable'/
[15:48] <badbugz> ?
[15:48] <badbugz> efi is a piece of crap
[15:48] <ses1984> not the known working one. it's definitely non efi
[15:48] <ses1984> the known working one has no efi anything on it
[15:49] <OerHeks> EFI is fine
[15:49] <OerHeks> !uefi
[15:49] <samthewildone> how do I install a icon theme set via .zip ?
[15:49] <ses1984> OerHeks: if efi was "fine" then i should be able to just drop this hard drive in and boot..alas i can't
[15:49] <badbugz> efi is not fine
[15:49] <samthewildone> I remember there was a command line way
[15:49] <badbugz> efi is 2.2 million lines of crap code
[15:49] <ses1984> everything efi that i have ever had to deal with made me want to throw a hatchet into my computer monitor
[15:50] <badbugz> more than your linux kernel code
[15:50] <ses1984> and this is not helping
[15:50] <cfhowlett> !behelpful|badbugz,
[15:50] <badbugz> cfhowlett: ok :)
[15:50] <badbugz> anyhow. i am out of ideas ses1984 buddy.
[15:50] <badbugz> goodluck
[15:51]  * badbugz gotta go
[15:51] <badbugz> laters
[15:54] <loa> hello.
[15:55] <idoocheng> hello, how can I connect Wifi under Xubuntu 14.04
[15:55] <loa> how i can protect my system from swapping? when some application began consume memory too fast?
[15:55] <loa> for example i wrote application and done mistake and application consume memory very fast.
[15:57] <OerHeks> so you want to control swapping, just when your system needs it too? that sounds like fun.
[15:57] <SchrodingersScat> idoocheng: there should be a network-manager icon in the top-right, possibly to the left of the date/time.
[15:57] <sfn> I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 Beta. If I update will the installation get upgraded to 14.04 distribution release?
[15:57] <OerHeks> sfn, yes
[15:58] <reversiblean> Is there any official or recommended fix for ugly font rendering in java swing apps without installing openjdk-fontfix patch?
[15:58] <TJ-> loa: You could make the OOM killer more aggressive
[15:58] <OerHeks> sfn 14.04.1 now
[15:59] <idoocheng> member:identifier:schrodingersscat, yes I can see it, but I when i open it no wifi information shows
[15:59] <sfn> @OerHeks, very much thanks for your clarification
[15:59] <loa> TJ-, that not what i want. i want something like rules, for example this application and it's child are not trustable, if they trying consume more that limit just do clean up and kill them all.
[15:59] <SchrodingersScat> idoocheng: we might need information specific to the card you are using, or generally more details.
[16:00] <TJ-> loa: see "ulimit -Sv ..."
[16:00] <idoocheng> SchrodingersScat: how i can check my card type
[16:01] <nopunditry> hello ubuntians! I'm getting an update notice that says 'new hardware support is available'..it is the first time I get an update like this. could you please help me know what it is for?
[16:02] <wad> I'm planning on installing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit desktop edition on a new box with two hard drives in a RAID-1 configuration. I googled around for some documentation on the process, but I'm not sure I found the best one.
[16:02] <cfhowlett> nopunditry, probably an update to a hardware driver.
[16:02] <SchrodingersScat> idoocheng: I think for internal card you could check 'lspci'
[16:03] <wad> I've used the mdadm tools a lot, I like software raid.
[16:03] <nopunditry> cfhowlett, thank you :)
[16:04] <TJ-> wad: To make it easier to configure the RAID-1 mirror, you might find it easier to use the -server ISO to install the base system, then once it is installed, simply do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to add all the desktop packages. The server installer can handle MD RAID, although you may have to use its "drop to shell" option to create the array correctly, before continuing with the Partitioning step
[16:04] <wad> TJ: great advice, thanks!
[16:05] <wad> TJ-, is there an option to encrypt the drives as well?
[16:05] <TJ-> wad: That way, at the shell you can do "mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --metadata=1.0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb" or whatever you need
[16:05]  * wad nods
[16:05]  * wad grabs this text and puts it in his notes
[16:06] <TJ-> wad: Apply encryption on top of the mirror? I can't remember if the -server installer supports that... but again, you can do that from the shell
[16:06] <wad> Okay.
[16:06]  * wad starts downloading the server iso
[16:07] <TJ-> wad: "cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/md0 ..." then "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0 cryptdev ..." or whatever - you might want to encrypt per file-system rather than whole disk of course
[16:08]  * wad puts that in his notes too
[16:08] <samthewildone> where is the local theme / icon directory in ubuntu ?
[16:08] <wad> Yeah, just the filesystem on the partition.
[16:08] <relipse> where do I get ubuntu server 32 bit?
[16:08] <trijntje> I want to automatically make a weekly/daily backup of my full home to an other HD on the network. What is the best way to do this, I shut down my pc at night, and if the backup starts while my home is in use I'll end up with a corrupted backup right?
[16:08] <idoocheng> SchrodingersScat: that shows so many lines which is the card info?
[16:09] <trijntje> shabius: try looking in .local/share
[16:09] <TJ-> wad: I have /boot/ file-system encrypted separately (supported by GRUB with GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y)
[16:09] <SchrodingersScat> idoocheng: does one say wireless?
[16:09] <wad> So the crypt stuff happens after the creation of the RAID-1, after the creation of the filesystem, and before the installation of the OS?
[16:09] <nopunditry> also I have the current problem that my system gets easily jammed (cursor doesn't move, page loads freeze, can't move between open programs). this happens with 'not that many' programs or tabs open (3-4 programs and 5-6 tabs in browser) whereas the system used to work fine during more than double as much activity. how can I check whether this is due to part or all of my hardware failing, or a background program (that compromised my system) running that
[16:09] <nopunditry> burdens the system?
[16:11] <TJ-> wad errr, If you're making a bootable MD mirror, then its mdadm --create, {f,g}disk /dev/md0, then cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/md0p?, then cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0p? crypt?, then mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/crypt? ... that make sense?!
[16:12] <wad> Ah, okay. So the crypt stuff is before the mkfs.
[16:12] <TJ-> wad:  you may need "kpartx -a /dev/md0" after the partitioning step if the kernel's PTs aren't updated
[16:12] <idoocheng> SchrodingersScat: no wireless, but i find   Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY
[16:13] <SchrodingersScat> !broadcom | idoocheng, I should have guessed, another victim of their campaign against freedom
[16:13] <TJ-> wad: Yes. cryptsetup will create a device-mapper node /dev/mapper/<your-chosen-crypt-name> which is the file-system container
[16:13] <sandy> Hi  does ubuntu 14 differ from linux mint 17 with regards to supported devices, in particular an older USB modem cmotech D-50, does anyone have any experience with this?
[16:13] <idoocheng> SchrodingersScat: thanks!
[16:14] <sudheer> Hi - can someone help me how to speed up ubuntu 10.04
[16:14] <trijntje> !10.04 | sudheer
[16:15] <reed> what's the best twitter desktop client nowadays?
[16:15] <relipse> chrome
[16:15] <sudheer> sorry its 14.04
[16:15] <reed> relipse, I'm not going through the pain of using free software only to give up my freedom to Google, thanks :)
[16:16] <SchrodingersScat> reed: chromium-browser then?
[16:16] <sudheer> ubottu: - Its 14.04
[16:16] <reed> SchrodingersScat, nope, not touching any of that Google crap. Firefox :)
[16:16] <cfhowlett> reed, "best"?  the one that you use and prefer.  no way to measure.  install and test your options
[16:16] <trijntje> sudheer: that depends on your system, what are the specs and what exactly is slow?
[16:16] <nopunditry> sorry for the long question. shortly, I have a system that often jams lately at low level of workload. hard disk is shown healthy. how can I check other key hardware parts that might cause the problem, or else whether the system is compromised (a background activity causing an overload)?
[16:17] <reed> cfhowlett, indeed, I should have said 'popular' :)
[16:17] <reed> cfhowlett, I'm assuming that like email clients they all suck, might as well use one that many others use :)
[16:17] <cfhowlett> reed, see the ubuntu software center and compare the ratings ...
[16:18] <sudheer> well here is my configuration
[16:18] <sudheer> Intel® Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00GHz × 2
[16:18] <sudheer> 3 GB RAM
[16:18] <reed> cfhowlett, good idea, thanks
[16:18] <sudheer> Initially it was fast but now I am facing some issues while booting
[16:19] <cfhowlett> reed, happy2help
[16:21] <inthedryer> I am getting a "radeon ring 3 test failed" followed by an "s1 startup failed on resume" message during boot. After that the installer crashes. How might I sort this out?
[16:31] <domenico_> list
[16:32] <cfhowlett> !list > domenico_
[16:32] <domenico_> salve
[16:33] <funknstein> agreed
[16:34] <domenico_> list
[16:35] <sfn> I am having Ubuntu 14.04. Is it possible to make launcher to auto hide? If I have more space it will help for eclipse layout
[16:36] <cpined> hello, I need help...my ubuntu 14.04 has slowed down ... I hear a lot of hard disk thrashing.  Even the keyboard response is slow.
[16:37] <wad> TJ-, okay, so once I get luks installed and set up, will I need to enter the passphrase on every boot?
[16:37] <cpined> It is getting ridiculous ...sounds now like a window OS.
[16:38] <wad> cpined, run htop from a terminal, what do you see?
[16:38] <wad> cpined, you can also see hard disk activity with iotop
[16:38] <cpined> I only have top installed.
[16:39] <sfn> Is it possible to make launcher to auto hide? If I have more space it will help for eclipse layout
[16:39] <wad> sudo apt-get install htop iotop
[16:39] <idoocheng> quit
[16:39] <wad> htop will tell you if you are into swap.
[16:39] <Beldar> sfn, Left panel should be auto hiding are you fully upgraded?
[16:40] <TJ-> wad: Yes, or you can add a key-file to one of the LUKS slots, and configure /etc/crypttab to run a script to find and mount a (removable) device with the key-file on, or you can install dropbear (ssh server) into the initrd and have SSH from a controlling system send the key-file/pass-phrase
[16:40] <sfn> If I make update ,will it enough?
[16:41] <Beldar> sfn, No exact answer since it should be working, always be updated.
[16:41] <sfn> @Beldar, thanks I will try
[16:41] <metaleerizdog> hello
[16:42] <cpined> wad, what do I look for with htop?
[16:42] <wad> TJ-, thanks. Yeah, what I actually want is to be prompted for a passphrase on boot.
[16:42] <inthedryer> Ok, so I've finally grabbed the error messages on boot. First "Restore Sound Card State --> [Fail]" Then "drm:r600_dma_ring_test --> Radeon Ring 3 test failed" then "drm:s1_resume --> s1 startup failed on resume [0xFFFFFF]" Then the install splash pulls up, and it crashes.
[16:42] <wad> cpined, See the bars across the top, and the numbers? The numbered bars are for each CPU core.
[16:42] <wad> The longer the bar, the more CPU usage.
[16:42] <metaleerizdog> i think bazhang s mom is a whore
[16:42] <wad> There is also a memory bar, and a swap bar.
[16:43] <Beldar> !ops | metaleerizdog
[16:43] <metaleerizdog> !ops
[16:43] <wad> If your hard drive is thrashing, you migth be out of RAM, and using swap space. htop will show you how much swap you are in.
[16:43] <Beldar> and a registered user to boot
[16:44] <cpined> wad: currently installing skype and the top bar is at 100%
[16:44] <bizkit> hey
[16:45] <wad> cpined, how many CPUs does htop show?
[16:45] <cpined> I only have 1.1. gig left on the drive...does that matter?
[16:45] <wad> Oh, yeah, if you're nearly out of hard drive space, the computer will slow down.
[16:45] <cfhowlett> cpined, yep.  that'd be the end of your /swap
[16:46] <wad> You need to free up some hard drive space, ASAP!
[16:46] <cpined> how can I tell how many CPUs I have, sorry.
[16:46] <cpined> oh, I think I have two CPU's
[16:46] <wad> The bars at the top of htop... yeah
[16:47] <inthedryer> Have I provided enough information?
[16:47] <cpined> wad: so really I need to free up some space?
[16:47] <wad> If you've only got a gig of disk space, I'd say that's the most important thing to do.
[16:47] <wad> Delete some videos or something. :)
[16:47] <cpined> yup...videos is the culprit
[16:47] <cpined> thanks
[16:47]  * wad called it
[16:49] <Beldar> !cookie | wad lol
[16:50] <inthedryer> Why is the installer crashing? Its a fairly new system.
[16:52] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | inthedryer, 1. verify the ISO   2. verify the USB
[16:54] <inthedryer> Yes, the checksum checks out.
[16:54] <cfhowlett> inthedryer, on both?
[16:55] <inthedryer> on the iso
[16:56] <inthedryer> it uses sha256
[17:00] <inthedryer> There seems to be a problem with the radeon drivers --> "radeon ring 3 test failed." My system uses an 8970m
[17:01] <OerHeks> inthedryer, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/457391/radeon-ring-0-test-failed-on-boot-ubuntu-14-04
[17:01] <OerHeks>  unchecked "Enable GPU switching"
[17:02] <wolfspy> Hi guys, why does my Lenovo B570 laptop show this when I try to boot from any live USB? http://i.imgur.com/oe24eNR.jpg
[17:04] <Beldar> wolfspy, Could be a number of things how about some history leading to this.
[17:04] <wolfspy> uuh
[17:04] <Beldar> in other words details
[17:04] <wolfspy> when I plug in a usb and try to boot to it, that shows up
[17:04] <wolfspy> most usbs*
[17:04] <Beldar> !nomodeset | wolfspy
[17:06] <Beldar> wolfspy, preface answers to others with their nick and try not to use post other than to give concise answers. ;)
[17:06] <inthedryer> unfortunately, there are no related BIOS (UEFI) settings to change, and I haven't gotten anything installed yet.
[17:06] <wolfspy> ubottu, Nothing shows up before that screen so I can't set any options
[17:06] <wolfspy> oh
[17:07] <Beldar> wolfspy, Is the usb for installing ubnuntu?
[17:07] <wolfspy> yes
[17:07] <wolfspy> and most other linux usbs do that too
[17:07] <Beldar> wolfspy, what app did you use for loading the usb?
[17:07] <wolfspy> win32diskimager
[17:08] <wolfspy> I could try a cd mabye
[17:09] <wolfspy> I read somewhere that it only supports certian partation layouts so mabye it doesnt work well with usbs eaither...?
[17:09] <tete_> did someone here ever setup an encrypted raid5 with lvm? this is driving me crazy. i have 3 SSDs and want to have a "big" raid 5 with encryption, and prefer lvm (so i have to enter the password only once etc. instead of swap and / ). so i created 2x raid5, one for /boot with ext3 and one for a big encrypted lvm, inside that lvm i have swap and /
[17:09] <tete_> but the last step of the installer is saying that it was not able to install grub
[17:09] <inthedryer> What's a good linux based usb creator, I used Linux Live Usb on windows to create the one that gives me the radeon error.
[17:09] <tete_> this is now the 6th or 7th install :/
[17:09] <cfhowlett> inthedryer, unetbootin
[17:10] <Beldar> wolfspy, You need a app that will get you to the first gui the nomodeset link shows, there are a handful out there look at pendrivelinux
[17:11] <Beldar> wolfspy, You would need a dvd, burn as an image.
[17:12] <Beldar> wolfspy> I read somewhere that it only supports certian partation layouts so mabye it doesnt work well with usbs eaither...? Ubuntu uses usb's easily.
[17:14] <BigMao> Hi there, how do I source my .bash_profile when I log into Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
[17:14] <BigMao> I had my environment variables in .bashrc for years, but now I realized I needed to move them
[17:14] <wolfspy> Beldar, my laptop doesn't support some partatition layouts, not ubuntu
[17:15] <Beldar> wolfspy, And that means what exactly?
[17:15] <BigMao> now the problem is that my environment variables won't get loaded when I open a new terminal, because it's not a login shell.  Is it possible for these environment variables to be loaded only once (when I actually log in?)
[17:15] <frost_bite> does anyone know how to mount a freebsd slice under linux? I can mount the entire ufs parition but I cant view individual slices.
[17:15] <BigMao> I already tried to source .bash_profile in my .profile.  It led to some funny behavior where every time I logged in, it would prompt me for my password again.
[17:15] <wolfspy> Beldar, my laptop wont boot to drives with some partatition layouts
[17:15] <wolfspy> like guid
[17:16] <Beldar> wolfspy, a usb should be a staright fat32
[17:16] <Beldar> straight*
[17:16] <wolfspy> yeah
[17:16] <Beldar> msdos
[17:17] <enigma617> hi
[17:19] <Beldar> wolfspy, If the usb's are guid you need to change the partition table to msdos.
[17:19] <wolfspy> it is msdos
[17:19] <wolfspy> the laptop just has booted fine from dvds in the past but it sometimes doesn't work with usbs
[17:19] <Beldar> wolfspy, guid id gpt, msdos is the standard that has been around for a long time
[17:19] <Beldar> is*
[17:20] <Beldar> I doubt you have guid usb's never seen that without making it wolfspy
[17:20] <Beldar> unless an apple I suppose wolfspy not sure on apple
[17:20] <wolfspy> well
[17:20] <wolfspy> I wasn't really talking about guid anyway.....
[17:21] <frost_bite> can linux mount a freebsd slice?
[17:21] <Beldar> wolfspy, Than don't post garbage not related we are trying to help you.
[17:23] <loa> can somebody explain me, if i have 8gb ram and i don't consume many ram, i need swap or not?
[17:23] <furryduck> you never NEED swap
[17:23] <furryduck> but it can't hurt
[17:23] <Beldar> loa, ram is used as needed.
[17:23] <furryduck> unless you're low on hdd space
[17:23] <loa> sometimes i run out of memory and my system hangs
[17:23] <Beldar> loa, make a awap
[17:23] <loa> becouse of swap proccess.
[17:23] <furryduck> If you run out of RAM, then you are using a lot of ram.
[17:24] <loa> so i can switch of swap safely?
[17:24] <loa> off
[17:24] <Beldar> !swap | loa look at swappiness
[17:24]  * furryduck
[17:25] <vocoy> hello everyone, I have a 64 bit device with 2gb ram. the ram is however shown as 1,9GB in system settings. so I am confused which one to refer to. should I install 64 bit ubuntu, or 32 bit one, because the latter is recommended for machines with <2gb ram?
[17:26] <furryduck> either one will work, however the 64-bit version may be better.
[17:26] <furryduck> do you know what architecture your cpu is?
[17:26] <vocoy> furryduck, where can I see it? I guess it's amd
[17:26] <Beldar> vocoy, It is standard to see the ram that, you have 2 gigs basically.
[17:26] <Beldar> way*
[17:27] <furryduck> are you running windows right now, or linux?
[17:27] <vocoy> furryduck, I'm running ubuntu 12.04.4.
[17:27] <furryduck> you can upgrade without reinstalling
[17:28] <Beldar> loa, Do you understand swappiness?
[17:28] <furryduck> but you can get your architecture with "uname -p"
[17:28] <vocoy> furryduck, I had a long while ago the experience that upgrade could go messy :)..which was when I also somewhere heard that 'clean install' would be better
[17:29] <furryduck> I like to clean-install every few versions.
[17:29] <loa> Beldar, yeah, but i think when i will run into oom it will be ignored.
[17:29] <loa> i think i will just switch off swap.
[17:29] <loa> and buy another 8gb
[17:29] <BigMao> Is .gnomerc still the right file to configure gdm?
[17:29] <Beldar> loa, not a good idea what is oom?
[17:30] <mlsa> I can see my mobile broadband adapter as wwan0 (ifconfig) but not under "Network" in Gnome
[17:30] <loa> Beldar, out of memory sityuation.
[17:30] <mlsa> I can see and use the modem just fine in my alternate debian-installation
[17:30] <vocoy> furryduck, and I also do this install (actually reinstall) for I have strange problems with system performance (it gets stuck often lately at low level of activity)..I thought a clean install might help better than upgrade to solve that?
[17:31] <Beldar> loa, use a lower swappiness it will swap later try that first, turning the swap off is a lat resort and may make things only worse.
[17:31] <furryduck> yes, that's the nice thing about free OSs. If it gets slow, just wipe and reinstall.
[17:31] <Beldar> last*
[17:31] <furryduck> works every time xD
[17:31] <loa> Beldar, i will try.
[17:31] <furryduck> as a backup of course
[17:31] <furryduck> ususally it's best to solve the problem.
[17:32] <loa> Beldar, yeah i remember that every time is switch swap in a short time i switch off it back. lol
[17:32] <furryduck> you could also try upgrading, and if it fails, or has problems, then reinstall.
[17:32] <Beldar> loa, bad technique.
[17:32] <loa> Beldar, switch on *
[17:33] <vocoy> furryduck, yet I tried to find out why, and don't know how to do it. my hard disk works fine, the system says. I don't know where else to look. I also thought if the system is compromised by malware etc..but dont know how to check that. could that be possible?
[17:33] <furryduck> technically yes, but I highly doubt it.
[17:33] <Beldar> loa, get a SSD you will not even notice any swapping. Set the swappiness lower and use the computer so it is not swapping so much there are limitations to any computer.
[17:33] <furryduck> A windows virus/ malware cannot run on ubuntu
[17:34] <furryduck> and most viruses are written for windows.
[17:34] <vocoy> don't think of anything else that causes freezes with 4 programs, 5-6 tabs
[17:34] <loa> Beldar, swap is not recommend to hold on ssd
[17:34] <Beldar> loa, That is old school, modern SSD's have the same life as a spinning one.
[17:34] <furryduck> When I have a problem, I find the best place to start is by running "dmesg".
[17:35] <furryduck> That will show the system log.
[17:35] <loa> Beldar, can you give me example of modern?
[17:36] <Beldar> loa, it's all on the web do the research, get one that is been released within the last couple of years.
[17:36] <loa> ok
[17:37] <furryduck> I've had pretty bad experiences with Samsung 840 series ssds.
[17:37] <furryduck> They always seem to fail in RAID
[17:37] <loa> software raid?
[17:37] <furryduck> yep
[17:37] <furryduck> and hardware
[17:37] <andre_> Guys I have a problem with my ubuntu 12.04, avery time that I reboot the system, some configuration are reset.
[17:38] <furryduck> I tried both
[17:38] <loa> strange.
[17:38] <furryduck> I usually prefer to use software though
[17:38] <andre_> Any idea what can I do to solve this problem.
[17:38] <furryduck> I've sent back 3 500gb ones.
[17:38] <furryduck> are you using a Live CD, andre?
[17:38] <furryduck> or live USB
[17:38] <andre_> No.
[17:38] <vocoy> furryduck, I found this in dmesg output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/7990541/   but cant make sense of it :(
[17:38] <andre_> Is installed on my HD.
[17:39] <Beldar> furryduck, There is no real validity in you experience in this to many outliers and is not ubuntu support.
[17:39] <Beldar> your*
[17:39] <mlsa> could the missing mobile broadband option in network manager be the result of missing packages? modemmanager and networkmanager are both installed
[17:40] <furryduck> I'm just putting in my two cents.
[17:40] <loa> furryduck, consumers drives are not supposed to work in any type of raids)
[17:40] <furryduck> I know, I google that later.
[17:40] <Beldar> furryduck, yes we know, this channel is support is all.
[17:41] <furryduck> are you saying this is the wrong channel for that type of conversation?
[17:41] <Beldar> over 1500 users imagine if evryone was adding there 2 cents furryduck
[17:41] <Beldar> their*
[17:42] <furryduck> oh, ok, sorry, I'm new to irc.
[17:42] <Beldar> furryduck, No biggie, you were trying to help, it is just concrete info is needed ans support is all. ;)
[17:42] <Beldar> and*
[17:43] <furryduck> do you use /msg for private messages?
[17:44] <Beldar> furryduck, Don't pm without asking a user first, I have it off for example.
[17:44] <furryduck> oh, ok
[17:44] <cpined> hello, when I click on applications to run I hear the hard disk thrashing pretty loud, is that normal?
[17:44] <furryduck> is it in pulses?
[17:44] <furryduck> like Wurrrr .... Wurrr ... Wurrr
[17:45] <vocoy> could this mean a reason to cause sporadic freezes? I found nothing else noticeable in dmesg output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7990541/  ?
[17:45] <Beldar> cpined, use the smartdisk in the disks app top right corner.
[17:45] <furryduck> That section looked like a hardware error.
[17:45] <Beldar> smartcheck that is cpined
[17:45] <furryduck> power specifically.
[17:46] <furryduck> could you upload your whole dmesg?
[17:46] <cpined> Beldar: How do I do that?
[17:47] <Beldar> cpined, open the disks app top right corner is a drop down smart data ans self test will show you data.
[17:48] <vocoy> furryduck, it is long. and not sure if using 'less' lists it properly
[17:48] <vocoy> so, for the reinstall, I can use 64 bit download?
[17:48] <andre_> So... any idea about my problem?
[17:49] <Beldar> cpined, Thrashing from here is a hard thing to use as any real data, I would be sure the HD is in good shape and not to full.
[17:49] <cpined> Beldar: what do i look for?
[17:50] <furryduck> it depends
[17:50] <furryduck> what did "uname -p" give you
[17:50] <furryduck> ?
[17:50] <vocoy> x86 65
[17:50] <vocoy> sorry, 64 :)
[17:50] <furryduck> xD
[17:50] <furryduck> That means your processor is 64-bit
[17:50] <furryduck> I'd use the 64 bit build if I were you.
[17:51] <vocoy> yes, sure..no,I was just referring to this recommend of 32 bit
[17:51] <Beldar> cpined, problems with the HD in the data the assessment is a okay start, smatcheck can be run from a terminal, I would research this, some here might walk you through, but you have to be realistic with just a "my disc is thrashing" notice.
[17:51] <royalaxe> lol, im going to use that next time someone asks me what my os bit is. 65, cos mines better
[17:52] <furryduck> That is most likely reccomended because lots of 32-bit processors have smaller amounts of ram. 64-bit is newer than 32-bit
[17:52] <furryduck> lol royalaxe
[17:52] <furryduck> I was thinking the same thing
[17:53] <furryduck> x86_8192
[17:53] <YetAnotherCharac> [Ubuntu 12.04 server] On login through ssh, a warning is generated if some partition is almost full (e.g., 99%). Can the threshold be changed? If yes, how?
[17:53] <royalaxe> we now have to change our names to morris moss
[17:53] <Beldar> cpined, Your best insurance is backups off the HD in the end on a external or another internal HD if you want to be prepared for any failure.
[17:54] <furryduck> YetAnotherCharac, have a look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/7925/can-i-configure-low-disk-space-warning-to-a-lesser-threshold
[17:54] <YetAnotherCharac> furryduck: Isn't that for gnome only?
[17:54] <Beldar> YetAnotherCharac, Don't fill up the HD.
[17:55] <YetAnotherCharac> Beldar: I want to lower it
[17:55] <furryduck> are you referring to a command line warning?
[17:55] <YetAnotherCharac> furryduck: yes
[17:55] <YetAnotherCharac> for /boot
[17:55] <YetAnotherCharac> I want to lower it to 90%
[17:55] <Beldar> YetAnotherCharac, Or make the partition larger, if a boot partition remove extra kernels.
[17:56] <YetAnotherCharac> Beldar: I just removed extra kernels, I want to have a longer time of warning next time this happen
[17:56] <Beldar> YetAnotherCharac, trying to reset a warning is a bad idea just monitor the thing.
[17:56] <YetAnotherCharac> (it broke apt-get, was a pain to repair)
[17:57] <YetAnotherCharac> Beldar: Then I guess I should make an additional script checking it
[17:57] <Beldar> YetAnotherCharac, it did not break apt-get you had a broken update, not rocket science stuff.
[17:58] <furryduck> here's a good one: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mac-osx-unix-get-an-alert-when-my-disk-is-full/
[17:58] <furryduck> if you're looking for a pre-made script
[17:58] <Beldar> YetAnotherCharac, one server?
[17:58] <YetAnotherCharac> Beldar: yes
[17:58] <YetAnotherCharac> furryduck: thanks!
[17:58] <furryduck> You're very welcome.
[17:58] <sdf30s> Hi, I wish to open a mp3 stream from a webdav resource, play it using a media player and preferably stream it back out over icecast. any suggestions, since mpd doesn't stream from webdav collections? HOw do I go about streaming in from webdav and streaming out over icecast?
[17:59] <Beldar> YetAnotherCharac, If you do this and never check you are just asking for trouble, a boot partition is not really needed anyway.
[17:59] <sdf30s> webdav is on an external server. media player and icecast on my server
[17:59] <YetAnotherCharac> Beldar: it came with the install, and I have no physical access to the machine
[17:59] <furryduck> sdf30s: you could mount the webdav resource
[18:00] <furryduck> and use it like a local filesystem
[18:00] <DGMurdock> ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR###ERROR Failed to lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[18:00] <sdf30s> furryduck: my music collection is huge and mpd wants to scan tqags over gigabytes of mp3s... any better suggestions?
[18:00] <t0th_-> hi
[18:00] <YetAnotherCharac> Beldar: There is room for ~22 more kernels, I'm planing ahead for next year...
[18:01] <t0th_-> i have /etc/rc.local is not executed in startup, how i can solve?
[18:01] <Beldar> DGMurdock, Context? any stopped upgrades, broken packages, other installers open?
[18:01] <furryduck> do you not want it to scan?
[18:01] <Beldar> YetAnotherCharac, you only need 2 sets
[18:01] <sdf30s> furryduck: no... just stream in from webdav... read tagsw on the go one file at a time while playing
[18:02] <sdf30s> furryduck: similar to m3u and pls files with pointers to the file locations
[18:02] <Beldar> YetAnotherCharac, one working a nd another to be sure you have a woking install.
[18:02] <Beldar> and * working*
[18:03] <YetAnotherCharac> Beldar: Yeah, but I'm not always on the machine, and not the only user, and I will leave at some point and want them to have some warning
[18:03] <sdf30s> MPD doesn't do this-> Here's my username and password for my webdav ... these are the file paths I want you to play over the next hour streamed out over icecast
[18:03] <DGMurdock> Beldar,  trying to do system updates
[18:04] <Beldar> DGMurdock, Yes, and any answers to what I addressed. Ask if you do not understand.
[18:05] <DGMurdock> Beldar,  also im not really using ubuntu im using pinguyos  a ubuntu based os and it not lasted verson
[18:05] <furryduck> DO you mean that's what you're tyring to do?
[18:05] <sdf30s> yes
[18:05] <Beldar> DGMurdock, You will have to ask the it is not supported here. But what I asked is good investigative info.
[18:05] <Beldar> them*
[18:06] <sdf30s> i have mpd and icecast play local files... problem is playing mp3s streamed from external webdav... any suggestions/ alternatives/ hacks/ scripts?
[18:06] <furryduck> you could mound the web-dav, then create a directory of with soft-links to the files you want to play.
[18:06] <sdf30s> fuse is diabled on my server
[18:06] <Beldar> DGMurdock, I might suggest you just install ubuntu, way more support.
[18:06] <furryduck> oh.
[18:06] <DGMurdock> Beldar,  no i dont think there are any installers open not sure if there are any broken packages
[18:07] <Beldar> DGMurdock, we are done your not supported here is all. ;)
[18:07] <Beldar> you're*
[18:08] <furryduck> you could use rsync to sync a remote directory with the songs you want with a local one.
[18:08] <furryduck> create a cron job to do this at intervals.
[18:08] <sdf30s> webdav is my only option .. i have no contro over the external server
[18:08] <furryduck> you could use 'cadaver'
[18:09] <furryduck> to sync the files.
[18:10] <sdf30s> i used HTTP::DAV and dave to sync files but it is not automated when I want to play dynamic playlists on the fly ... how do I script dave/cadaver?
[18:11] <sdf30s> how do I mentain an index on my server pointing to external webdav collection (several GBs)
[18:11] <sdf30s> maintain*
[18:12] <sdf30s> play me song 67, 228, 752, 3 from webdav... for eg
[18:12] <furryduck> and you want to queue them up on the fly, while playing?
[18:13] <sdf30s> yes, mpd cannot create a database since fuse is not feasible
[18:14] <sdf30s> If only I could create hooks to the thousands of webdav files and proxy it to mpd on the fly
[18:14] <sdf30s> mpc add doesnot accept webdav links .... only plain http links to stream
[18:15] <sdf30s> mpd queries the proxy which fetches it the filestream from webdav
[18:17] <sdf30s> EXTERNAL webdav >> proxy >> mpd >> icecast... the proxy is only my way of representing my problem since mpd does not talk webdav nor can webdav be mounted which will again waste a lot of bandwidth indexing over the internet for tags
[18:17] <furryduck> here's the man-page for cadaver: http://linux.die.net/man/1/cadaver
[18:18] <sdf30s> it requires user input iirc ... i want my proxy to know which nested subdirectory to look for to fetch the filestream
[18:19] <furryduck> here's a scripting example for cadaver: http://robertmarkbramprogrammer.blogspot.com/2010/09/using-webdav-and-cadaver-with-dotcms.html
[18:20] <furryduck> cadaver is both interactive, and scriptable
[18:20] <sdf30s> i see... i gave up cavader and picked dave because it does not recurse directories
[18:21] <furryduck> the same principl applies to scripting dave.
[18:21] <furryduck> with the <<EOF and such
[18:21] <studmuf> does anyone know how to extend a folder using a second drive?
[18:22] <sdf30s> lets assume I can fetch the file one by one to be played back using dave/ cadaver... how do i instruct mpd to play these automatically one after another based on playlistsw?
[18:22] <furryduck> I'm not familiear with mpd, but you could try a for loop, reading a file in bash.
[18:23] <furryduck> I'm pretty sure when bash does a for loop on the lines in a file, it doesn't read the next line until it's processed the previous one.
[18:23] <sdf30s> how do I do callbacks that mpd is done playing to queue next download
[18:23] <sdf30s> how do i maintain an index of thousands of file locations within the webdav?
[18:24] <furryduck> I'm not familiar with MPD, so I don't know.
[18:24] <furryduck> sorry
[18:24] <sdf30s> index on my server to query and create playlists?
[18:24] <sdf30s> my question is on the file caching side ... not the playback side
[18:24] <furryduck> you could use find or locate
[18:24] <furryduck> find /path/to/music
[18:24] <sdf30s> on a huge webdav collection?
[18:25] <furryduck> oh, right, no remote bash access
[18:26] <sdf30s> indexing, fetching, caching (downloading using cadaver/dave) is one part of the problem
[18:26] <sdf30s> caching I can figure out by using say a /tmp location
[18:27] <sdf30s> fetching can be automated IF I know where to look for inside the huge webdav containing thousands of complicated paths
[18:27] <manners> help my ubuntu install seems screwed up
[18:27] <manners> i can upgrade r get anything from apt
[18:27] <manners> its 12.10 which i know needs to be updated
[18:28] <sdf30s> indexing is a means to keep a telephone directory whereby I can query and queue the files inside /tmp
[18:29] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys i typed route in my terminal and i see this in the list
[18:29] <Psil0Cybin> pacone13.mailin

[18:29] <Psil0Cybin> above link-local
[18:29] <Psil0Cybin> its a local gateway..

[18:32] <OerHeks> if you add old-release, you might be able to upgrade.
[18:33] <ciphergoth> Recently upgraded to 14.04, and "ping localhost" returns "ping: unknown host localhost". There is a localhost entry in /etc/hosts. Any ideaS?
[18:34] <jhutchins> ciphergoth: Have you messed with /etc/resolv.conf?
[18:34] <sdf30s> how do i maintain an index of thousands of file locations within the webdav to automatically cache by fetching the indexed webdav paths using dave/cadaver?
[18:35] <ciphergoth> jhutchins, resolv.conf says it's generated by resolvconf(8)
[18:35] <ciphergoth> there's nothing in resolv.conf to say read /etc/hosts so maybe it doesn't

[18:45] <manners> why would it say not found
[18:45] <aeyesi> hi, um can someone help a little bit with 5.1 sound on 14.04? ah guess i need to switch from alsa to pulseaudio but meh how to make pulseaudio by default <,<
[18:49] <Kytes01> hi
[18:49] <Kytes01> can i run ubuntu from pendrive as a normal system?
[18:49] <Kytes01> I mean everything what i change will be saved on pendrive
[18:50] <ianorlin> there is persistent isos
[18:50] <bazhang> !usb | Kytes01
[18:50] <bazhang> Kytes01, see the part about persistent
[18:51] <Kytes01> ok
[18:51] <Kytes01> or if not persistent because it demands iso, can i just install ubuntu on it with grub?
[18:51] <rifqee> hi
[18:52] <ianorlin> yes but not sure how long a usb stick will last with full install and not get worn out
[18:52] <bazhang> Kytes01, did you read the link?
[18:52] <rifqee> how to hide ip?

[18:53] <bazhang> rifqee, this is irc
[18:53] <ianorlin> internet relay chat what you are on now rifqee
[18:54] <rifqee> i mean on any website
[18:54] <indoctrinated> VPN is a good place to start
[18:55] <rifqee> the anonymous used to hide ip
[18:55] <indoctrinated> If you want to hide your IP for web traffic, consider a VPN solution, or TOR. Neither one is foolproof, though.
[18:56] <rifqee> is there have any free vpn?
[18:56] <indoctrinated> There are, but you have to look around.
[18:57] <rifqee> but many for windows
[18:57] <rifqee> can ubuntu hack wifi?
[18:57] <indoctrinated> If you use a VPN service, you can configure NetworkManager to use it I believe (I can't check; I'm on a Win 8 machine at work)
[18:58] <rifqee> ok
[18:59] <Kira9204> FRee VPN? I pretty much guarantee that they aren't safe
[18:59] <Kira9204> there are several cheap VPN solutions

[19:09] <rifqee> how to hack wifi?
[19:09] <pengin> hey guys, quick question. I have a service (gollum) that I'm starting with a script in init.d. The service starts fine, but I also see the script still running when I do a ps -A.
[19:09] <pengin> is there a way to get the script to close itself once it has run?
[19:09] <expunge> rifqee: by hacking it
[19:09] <rifqee> yeah. but how?
[19:10] <expunge> pengin: hrmm?
[19:10] <bazhang> !ot | rifqee
[19:11] <bazhang> rifqee, thats not supported here. please stop asking
[19:11] <pengin> expunge: sorry if that was confusing. basically, im seeing the script I use in init.d (gollum.sh) still listed on the running processes on my server
[19:11] <expunge> pengin: what's it do?
[19:12] <pengin> #!/bin/bash
[19:12] <pengin> cd /home/ubuntu/gollum
[19:12] <pengin> /usr/local/bin/gollum
[19:12] <pengin> expunge: really basic script, just does the above
[19:13] <pengin> changes to a directory and starts a servicew
[19:13] <expunge> well that seems useless
[19:13] <expunge> but you could look into bash's 'exit'
[19:14] <pengin> awesome, that looks like what I need. thanks for helping with the n00b question

[19:48] <frainfreeze> hi, I have windows and ubuntu on hard disk, only one, how to delete evrything so I can istall all new?
[19:50] <Bashing-om> frainfreeze: You do not "have" to do anything IF ubuntu is to be the sole OS . Boot the liveDVD(USB) -> install, choose "erase disk and install ubuntu" . boom, done.
[19:50] <frainfreeze> cool , thanks
[19:52] <Bashing-om> frainfreeze: In the event you are going to dual boot // easiest is to install Windows first, then from the ubuntu installer -> choose "install along side" .
[19:57] <frainfreeze> ok bashing-om. thanks
[19:59] <ahmadgbg> hi, im having a very weird problem. Im currently installing Ubuntu Server 14.04. While partitioning and choosing "physical volume for RAID" im not able to change the bootflag to "on". i cant even choose "primary" or "logical" partition. help?
[20:00] <Tuplanolla> I have an annoying problem. Trying to "apt-get remove lightdm" forces me to install mdm and "apt-get remove mdm" forces me to reinstall lightdm. I want to get rid of all display managers and use a tty to log in.
[20:01] <ulkesh> I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1, with three displays.  Is it possible to have a separate wallpaper per display?  I tried SyncWall, but it seems to want to stretch/crop/etc a single image.  I'd prefer to use three separate images (one per display).
[20:02] <zivester> oy.. when is 14.04.1 gonna be prompting 12.04 :-/
[20:03] <Bashing-om> freanux: : )
[20:06] <Bashing-om> ahmadgbg: Hey, are you installing on hardware rais, or software raid ( ubuntu, dmraid) ?
[20:06] <ahmadgbg> Bashing-om, software
[20:06] <Vivekananda> Hey everyone . trying to install samba and samba system cofig in ubuntu 12.04 but does not work. Can someone help . https://gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/d6b2f60c4d85ac6ac982
[20:07] <ahmadgbg> Bashing-om, i read that i can fix it by partitioning the disk before the installation with gparted. going to try it :P
[20:09] <Bashing-om> ahmadgbg: I am hunting up the docs I used long ago to set up raid. brb
[20:09] <ahmadgbg> Bashing-om, thanks :P
[20:12] <Bashing-om> ahmadgbg: Have a read here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID , Old but still good .
[20:13] <KLVTZ> In your own opinion, or perhaps best practice, where should backup files live on an ubuntu instance for production?
[20:13] <KLVTZ> Basically, I would like to make a backup of all my project files somewhere else in my remote host, but where is a coherent place to put it?
[20:13] <henry__> exit
[20:15] <geirha> KLVTZ: /var/backup maybe
[20:15] <ahmadgbg> Bashing-om, will try it
[20:15] <Bashing-om> KLVTZ: "production" machine "best practice -> off the machine and off the premise . ( machines break, fires happen ) .. importatnat data is importance ) .
[20:16] <KLVTZ> geirha: thanks! I was thinking the var folder
[20:16] <KLVTZ> Bashing-om: Oh I've made a relentless amount of backups on other devices off of production.
[20:17] <KLVTZ> I remember square space, when first starting out, had their servers in water because of a hurrican
[20:17] <KLVTZ> it's interesting what may face our data in a diseaster like that
[20:18] <Bashing-om> KLVTZ: Yeah ! Depending on the level of protection .. 3 backups in 3 locations .
[20:18] <geirha> I interpreted it as "backup for when I accidentally rm(1)"
[20:19] <geirha> in which case a local filesystem makes restoring easy
[20:19] <pengin> when a new crontab gets created, does the cron service need to be restarted?
[20:19] <geirha> pengin: no, but it may take a minute or two for it to notice the change
[20:20] <geirha> so if you're making a testjob, put it 3 minutes in the future
[20:20] <geirha> (or more)
[20:20] <pengin> im trying to get this job to run every 5 minutes, but no go =/
[20:20] <pengin> */5 * * * * /home/ubuntu/gollum/.sync.sh
[20:20] <dsda> The MOTD on -server suggests that landscape is enabled by default and that one can access through landscape.canonical.com. <--- I'm hoping this isn't true?
[20:22] <geirha> pengin: check /var/log/syslog, see if the CRON job is run there
[20:22] <geirha> e.g. grep CRON /var/log/syslog
[20:23] <geirha> pengin: most likely, cron runs the script, but the script fails because it's lacking some environment variables
[20:24] <pengin> it looks like only cron.hourly
[20:24] <pengin> the script works fine when launched manually
[20:24] <geirha> pengin: http://askubuntu.com/a/23438/9016
[20:24] <Vivekananda> anyone care to comment on my problem
[20:24] <geirha> pengin: which crontab is it btw, the one you change with crontab -e ?
[20:24] <pengin> geirha: yeah
[20:25] <pengin> crontab -e
[20:25] <geirha> pengin: change it to:   */5 * * * * /home/ubuntu/gollum/.sync.sh >/home/ubuntu/gollumsync.log 2>&1
[20:26] <geirha> that should catch any error messages, if any. If you install an MTA, it will also mail you the output when it fails
[20:26] <bencc> what is ubuntuupdates.org? http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/trusty/universe/backports/haproxy
[20:27] <rww> bencc: a third-party website that scrapes data from Ubuntu and Launchpad servers
[20:27] <pengin> geirha: just tried that, Ill see what comes out, thanks
[20:27] <geirha> pengin: On a side note, you should avoid adding extensions to commands. E.g. no .sh at the end of the script filename
[20:27] <bencc> rww: I can't find haproxy 1.5 backport on trusty
[20:27] <bencc> rww: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-backports/all/haproxy
[20:28] <rww> bencc: Do you have backports enabled on your system?
[20:28] <pengin> geirha: okay, I can do that. what's the reasoning behind not adding extensions?
[20:28] <bencc> rww: I meant the link to the package. but I think it's here http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-backports/haproxy
[20:28] <geirha> pengin: http://www.talisman.org/~erlkonig/documents/commandname-extensions-considered-harmful
[20:28] <bencc> rww: can I enable backports for only a single package?
[20:28] <rww> bencc: yes, that's the default mode of operation
[20:28] <geirha> pengin: also a bit odd that the file is "hidden" (starts with a .)
[20:29] <rww> bencc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports has all the info. once you get it set up, sudo apt-get install haproxy/trusty-backports should work
[20:29] <bencc> rww: how do I install this package?
[20:29] <rww> bencc: I'm about to go AFK, but that page and the other folks here should be able to help if you have questions about the process :)
[20:29] <bencc> rww: thanks :)
[20:31] <bencc> backport packages are updated with each ubuntu release?
[20:31] <dsda> The MOTD on -server says that the server can be managed through landscape.canonical.com
[20:31] <dsda> I'm hoping this isn't enabled by default?
[20:32] <Vivekananda> hello everyone
[20:33] <Beldar> Vivekananda, You are not new here follow the rule of just reposting, no help me please no hellos.
[20:34] <Vivekananda> Beldar: hmmm I was waiting for the time limit to be off before doing that  anyways here is the repost

[20:36] <Beldar> Vivekananda, Nice try you were trying to get attention. You are a user of the channel you never give help that is okay just follow the norm. The wait time is 10 min, you were well wilthin  a repost of it.
[20:37] <Vivekananda> Beldar: you mean to say I never give out help ? if that is what you mean that I dont coz I dont usually know the correct answer or I wouldnt be asing so many questions :)
[20:38] <andybrine> Hi Everyone
[20:39] <andybrine> Im on Gnome Shell and there is no system tray on the top panel, is there a way to add that?
[20:39] <mikeg3> Hi...I think I need to edit my /etc/gshadow file.  I am not well versed in command line editing.  Are there any GUI options that would work?  Thanks in advance.
[20:40] <phunyguy> andybrine: the systemtray reveals at the bottom
[20:40] <phunyguy> push the mouse to the edge of the screen on the bottom
[20:40] <andybrine> im trying that but it doesnt show up
[20:41] <phunyguy> no idea then.
[20:41] <phunyguy> but that's where it is
[20:41] <andybrine> Oh ok. Thanks phunyguy
[20:45] <Beldar> Vivekananda, So can I assume are at least at a 5-6 year old cognitive level where we learn to get in line and wait out turn?
[20:45] <Beldar> our*
[20:47] <ahmadgbg> Bashing-om, thanks! worked like a charm
[20:47] <andybrine> Has anyone come across this message when trying to add shell extentions "We cannot detect a running copy of GNOME on this system"
[20:47] <Vivekananda> Beldar: I am not following you. But that is fine coz I want to stick to the topic of asking. If there is something relevant that I need to observe let me know that directly.
[20:47] <Beldar> andybrine, Stuff from the extensions go there, check the website.
[20:47] <Vivekananda> by topic I mean the samba issue I am having
[20:48] <Beldar> Vivekananda, You are responsible for acting like an adult here and following the channels rules like everyone else, please start doing so.
[20:49] <Bashing-om> ahmadgbg: Great ... and - up up and away !
[20:49] <Beldar> andybrine, Some things may go in the transparent popup on the bottom if you like.
[20:50] <Vivekananda> okay that was clearer thanks. I will look into the rules again
[20:51] <Vivekananda> there used to be a page for this channel rules  cant seem to find. can someone ping me the link
[20:51] <mikeg3> Hi...I think I need to edit my /etc/gshadow file.  I am not well versed in command line editing.  Are there any GUI options that would work?  Thanks in advance.
[20:51] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: What is prompting you to consider editing "/etc/gshadow" ? file  /etc/gshadow -> /etc/gshadow: regular file, no read permission .
[20:52] <kostkon> !guidelines | Vivekananda
[20:53] <mikeg3> Bashing, currently I can log in without a password.  Even though I want a password.  I want to fix that ASAP!
[20:54] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: I do not run a GUI, but as I recall, there is a check box in " user accounts" to control that behaviour (??) .
[20:55] <mikeg3> Bashing, been  there tried that in User accounts...no effect
[20:56] <mikeg3> Bashing,  check this article, which I am attempting to follow  http://askubuntu.com/questions/106428/how-to-disable-automatic-login
[20:58] <OerHeks> mikeg3, just enable autologin, and you will need no password to boot.
[20:58] <guntbert> OerHeks: he wants it the other way round
[20:59] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: look'n / brb
[20:59] <mikeg3> OerHeks, I want the exact opposite....It is logging me in automatically and I caNNOT MAKE IT STOP
[21:02] <alexThunder> i can't get the open-source radeon driver to work anymore. if i try to modprobe it, it says "ERROR: could not insert 'radeon': Invalid argument". i got hybrid graphics (intel integrated and a 7970m dedicated) - can someone help me?
[21:06] <WXZ1> how do I remove a packages and all it's dependencies (which aren't dependencies of any other package not to be removed)?
[21:06] <Bashing-om> mikeg3: I can add nothing to what the askubuntu link advises, sorry.
[21:07] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: hybrid graphics ! Have you seen : http://askubuntu.com/questions/205112/how-do-i-get-amd-intel-hybrid-graphics-drivers-to-work/288355#288355 ?
[21:07] <guntbert> WXZ1: sudo apt-get remove <packagename>    and then   sudo apt-get autoremove
[21:07] <deitarion> Is there a 14.04 equivalent to the 12.04 com.ubuntu.update-notifier.hide-reboot-notification key? The only answers I'll accept are "Yes, here it is" or "No. You may now rip out the update manager and clone its functionality using apt-get and shell scripts"
[21:09] <alexThunder> Bashing-om: yes, but thats about the catalyst/proprietary driver. It works, but i now want to use the foss driver (again - it used to work just a couple of hours ago)
[21:09] <mikeg3> Bashing, do you think I am running afoul of some permissions issue maybe?
[21:10] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: Open source efforts: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics .
[21:10] <WXZ1> how do I remove a packages and all it's dependencies (which aren't dependencies of any other package not to be removed)?
[21:10] <WXZ1> a package*
[21:10] <deitarion> ...or I suppose I could just configure my window manager to deny the "please reboot now" window permission to appear.
[21:11] <guntbert> WXZ1: I told you already,you need to read what is said :)
[21:11] <WXZ1> guntbert: it kicked me
[21:11] <guntbert> WXZ1: sudo apt-get remove <packagename>    and then   sudo apt-get autoremove
[21:12] <WXZ1> but how does autoremove know which packages are dependencies
[21:12] <alexThunder> Bashing-om: it only tells me to install fglrx
[21:12] <WXZ1> and which packages I actually installed?
[21:13] <Vivekananda> I tried looking at uubntu channel guidelines for time after which a question can be repeated but did not find anything specific.  I hope I am in time to ask my question again.
[21:13] <guntbert> WXZ1: there is a flag in the package system - for automatically/manually installed
[21:13] <WXZ1> I see
[21:13] <usr13> mikeg3: gksudo gedit
[21:13] <Vivekananda> trying to install samba and samba system cofig in ubuntu 12.04 but does not work. Can someone help . https://gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/d6b2f60c4d85ac6ac982
[21:14] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: I doubt it is a permission issue .. by those numbers in the link : have you looked at "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" see if it requires editing ? ( next ??)
[21:14] <usr13> mikeg3: But what exactly do you need to do?
[21:14] <WXZ1> then I guess I don't have any unused packages because autoremove told me I don't. :|
[21:15] <guntbert> WXZ1: seems to be the case
[21:16] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: sorry bout that one .. mikeg3 ^^ .
[21:16] <alexThunder> Bashing-om: np, I already figured
[21:17] <mikeg3> I am not sure what to do other than follow the suggestion in the article with the green checkmark; unfortunately my commandline skill is weak
[21:17] <alexThunder> is there actually channel for foss radeon driver support?
[21:18] <Beldar> alexThunder, no
[21:19] <Beanzero> Hello :)
[21:19] <usr13> mikeg3: You should not avoid learning comandline methods, (they are usually not that hard).
[21:19] <deitarion> Given how fast this channel moves, I'm going to assume that I'm not getting any answers for how to disable reboot nags in update-manager and move on to replacing it with apt-get, a zenity dialog for GUI, and shell scripting.
[21:19] <usr13> mikeg3: You might even enjoy learning.
[21:19] <Beldar> alexThunder, I do see a #radeon
[21:19] <evilbug> just to double check, lts versions are now supported 3 years from the point release and not the initial release yes?
[21:20] <mikeg3> maybe a gksu primer
[21:20] <kostkon> !patience | deitarion
[21:20] <alexThunder> Beldar, yes, thanks. I just found it too
[21:20] <deitarion> kostkon: In a slower-moving channel, I'd wait. Here, I'm pretty anybody who actually saw my question has had ample time to answer it.
[21:21] <usr13> mikeg3: Continue to build on your knowledge, just learn one task at a time.
[21:21] <Beldar> deitarion, Reboots are generally kernel related, a few other instances, you can have a no reboot for kernels.
[21:21] <usr13> mikeg3: If you feel adventurous, try vimtutor
[21:22] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: Mind you I do not know, as I do not have direct experience, but I would think that one would have to move the xorg.conf file out of the way, disable a graphics set in bios, and (re-)install the foss driver for the then available graphics (??)
[21:22] <deitarion> Beldar: If I didn't need a newer GCC and glibc, I'd still be on 12.04 where it allows you to turn off the reboot nags.
[21:22] <Beanzero> i donno if its firefox or ubuntu but try to visit www.soundcloud.com and listen to music it cant start
[21:22] <kostkon> evilbug, 5 years in total
[21:23] <Beldar> deitarion, This a uptime thing?
[21:23] <pi2> hello
[21:23] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, Well, i did this already :D
[21:23] <evilbug> Beanzero: have you tried another browser?
[21:23] <user1415> is there any GPU video converter available,/

[21:23] <evilbug> kostkon: ah, ok. gotcha.
[21:23] <droid909> guys, if my ubuntu in vmware and i want to expend its fs, i added space in vmware to my virtual hdd, now i've installed system-config-lvm and can open it as root, but everythig is greyed out, why can't i edit anything?
[21:23] <droid909> ubuntu is guest
[21:24] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: OK, so we need to look at what is available and what driver is loaded ?
[21:24] <deitarion> Beldar: It's a "refuse to choose between losing my focus to a popup and losing my focus to having to tear down and then rebuild my entire session" thing.
[21:24] <usr13> user1415: We probably don't even know what a GPU video converter is.
[21:24] <Beanzero> evilbug: nope
[21:24] <Beanzero> let me do that
[21:24] <droid909> is there an easyer way?
[21:24] <Beldar> deitarion, Oh, I thin they have meds for that. ;)
[21:24] <Beldar> think*
[21:24] <deitarion> Beldar: In 12.04, I could relegate it to a tray icon which I could deal with on my own terms.
[21:24] <evilbug> Beanzero: my firefox works fine on os x.
[21:24] <usr13> user1415: What is it you need to do?
[21:25] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, I guess. lsmod doesn't say anything about radeon. When I try to modprobe radeon, it says "ERROR: could not insert 'radeon': Invalid argument"
[21:25] <user1415> usr13: sorry, didnt hit the asksign..   I mean a converter that is using the GPU to convert videos (all I tried are using cpu only)
[21:26] <deitarion> Beldar: Plus, you're looking at someone who used to run KDE 3.5, then switched to LXDE when KDE 4.x was too heavy. I'm fully willing to reinvent any and every component on my desktop that doesn't acknowledge my authority. I refuse to let a patronizing update nagger defy me.
[21:26] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: My thohgt process is -> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga , sudo lshw -C display <- .
[21:26] <evilbug> Beanzero: plus do you have flashblock enabled for soundcloud?
[21:26] <Bashing-om> thought*
[21:26] <Beanzero> evilbug: sorry for wasting your time
[21:26] <Beanzero> firefox is the prob
[21:27] <evilbug> Beanzero: what specifically?
[21:27] <user1415> usr13: nvidia gpu
[21:27] <Beanzero> idn
[21:27] <Beanzero> soundcloud just dosnt work with ubuntu = firfox
[21:28] <evilbug> Beanzero: i'd like to know why exactly still :(
[21:28] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7992195/
[21:28] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: Look'n at your 7992195/ .
[21:28] <Beanzero> evilbug: explain
[21:28] <Beanzero> i have java + flashback
[21:28] <Beanzero> no flashblock
[21:28] <usr13> user1415: https://libav.org/
[21:29] <evilbug> Beanzero: if you whitelist soundcloud on flashblock it'll work.
[21:30] <user1415> usr13: all I found out yet, is that libav/ffmpeg only is using the gpu to decode, but not to encode
[21:31] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: I see: "Kernel driver in use: i915" that is Intel . Konfiguration: latency=0- no driver is loaded. So I "assume" ATI is disabled in bios ?
[21:32] <bekks> Bashing-om: Take a look at "lspci -k" and look for ATI.
[21:32] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, i don't have an option for enabling/disabling this in bios.
[21:33] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: Let's take bekks' hint and try and sort this out.
[21:33] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, it says: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wimbledon XT [Radeon HD 7970M]
[21:34] <Beanzero> evilbug: thank you but ill just go with chrome
[21:34] <Beanzero> thank you for your time
[21:34] <evilbug> quitter!
[21:36] <PoolShark_> hi all.. if I have a machine with multiple sound devices, is there a way to route some applications to one of them and other applications to the other?
[21:37] <evilbug> PoolShark_: not sure, but jack might be able to do that.
[21:38] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: Yeah, To me that indicates that the ATI card is available, and no driver is loaded for it .. I would think we need to deside which grahics set to use, and as there is no setting in bios ( strange) .. take a lokk at "/etc/X11/Xorg.conf" see if we can make heads or tails out of it.
[21:38] <Bashing-om> lokk/look*
[21:39] <PoolShark_> yeah I installed jack but it seems.... over my head
[21:39] <mangop> hi
[21:40] <Vivekananda> hoping someone can comment on my issue for samba install. if there a better alternative can someone lemme know.  https://gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/d6b2f60c4d85ac6ac982
[21:40] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, well, i don't have that xorg.conf anymore. I deleted it when I was uninstalling fglrx. Earlier this day I was using my intel igpu and could run stuff with the radeon using DRI_PRIME=1 <whatever>
[21:41] <mangop> Um..  I need the grub menu to be able to launch windows again. Can someone help me please
[21:42] <daftykins> Vivekananda: line 51 states the issue pretty clearly. does an smb.conf exist in /etc/samba/ ?
[21:44] <TaZeR> is it true cannicatal has backdoors into ubuntu
[21:44] <TaZeR> my friend told me that i didnt believe it
[21:45] <mangop> err.. Also for some reason the screen that says press F12 to choose what to boot first is also gone. So i can't repair using a cd...
[21:45] <Vivekananda> daftykins: I assumed  that on installing samba it will generate the conf file not too sure though
[21:45] <SP33D> wow changing to lubuntu desktop brings much performance gains even on high end pc's
[21:46] <SP33D> there need to change a lot
[21:46] <Beldar> mangop, Are you tapping the shift key on powering in to get the grub menu?
[21:47] <Fr0Zn> Is lubuntu nice SP33D?
[21:47] <daftykins> Vivekananda: that error message is pretty blatant, check if it's there and rename it if so
[21:47] <mangop> I have tried that, doesn't work, still a black screen
[21:47] <SP33D> frozen using it a lot but on my master work pc i tryed unity 3d because it has many graphic cards and so on
[21:47] <SP33D> but firefox an all freezes sometimes with lubuntu that is fixed i like it a lot
[21:48] <SP33D> it don't looks nasty and is much faster
[21:48] <Beldar> mangop, Use nicks here to preface to whom you answering. Any clue as to why it's just black?
[21:48] <Beldar> your*
[21:48] <Fr0Zn> so good performance with hight end cpu
[21:48] <SP33D> i hope we all the ubuntu community get soon the html interface finished so we can make a window manager in nodejs with html only
[21:48] <Fr0Zn> i will try it ty
[21:49] <mangop> Beldar no idea, I checked the grub config file and anything with hidden in it is commented out if that means anything
[21:49] <daftykins> SP33D: please take your general chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[21:49] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: I have to struggel with hybrid graphics, out of my depth here. As it stands now these is no driver (module) loaded for any graphics set. As you advise there is no menas in bios to control the graphics sets, I would think a "/etc/X11/Xorg.conf" would then be required .
[21:49] <Bashing-om> these/there*
[21:50] <Beldar> mangop, The issue here are details, you have given virtually none.
[21:50] <SP33D> aftykins little question what part of ubuntu your coding on at present?
[21:50] <SP33D> daftykins little question what part of ubuntu your coding on at present?
[21:50] <mangop> Beldar err I'm not sure what details you need sorry
[21:50] <daftykins> SP33D: that's off topic here, support questions only thanks
[21:51] <Beldar> mangop, What is the graphic harsware?
[21:51] <Beldar> hardware*
[21:52] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, uh oh :D uhm ... liken this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/7992376/
[21:52] <mangop> Beldar it's a laptop so its Intel Ironlake Mobile
[21:53] <mangop> Beldar also the menu has shown up before
[21:53] <mangop> it used to work and for some reason it doesn't now...
[21:53] <Beldar> mangop, Did you modify the graphic drivers since it worked and now, when not working?
[21:54] <mangop> Beldar nope, I haven't even used this laptop for months
[21:57] <SP33D> then simpy list all files that are modifyed scince thats month
[21:57] <SP33D> or in the last month
[21:57] <SP33D> cant be so much
[21:57] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: Beats me, all I know to do is expeiment/ what is currently "Kernel driver in use: i915". The system is seeing the Intel graphics. How to make it see the ATI card, well I would think in 'Xorg.conf" . Maybe not enough in the file to this time to make that happen (??) .
[21:57] <Beldar> mangop, Why not just reinstall the windows bootloader to the boot either the mbr or a uefi setup what ever it is since you want the windows boot. Do you have any use for the ubuntu?
[22:01] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, i915 is (probably) the intel driver. Well, I'll just give it a try - brb
[22:02] <Bashing-om> alexbligh1: I am still think'n . What returns from ->  lsmod | grep radeon ,  lsmod | grep i915 <- ?
[22:04] <evilbug> exit
[22:05] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, no luck :/ Btw. X is supposed to load the module on its own, isn't it? Since i can't even modprobe the radeon module, i think the problem isn't in the xorg.conf (well, just my thought, but i am anything but an expert on this :D)
[22:05] <BesTtT> Pershendetje T'Gjithve Ketu :))
[22:06] <Beldar> BesTtT, Can you make sense in english?
[22:07] <mangop> Beldar I can't because even the boot screen is black I can't choose to boot the cd
[22:07] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: Problem being that there are 2 sets of graphics, and X can not decide on it's own what to do. If you could turn one of them off in bios, X would not have this problem.
[22:07] <Beldar> mangop, No bios splash?
[22:08] <linuxthefish> ubuntu is not good for normal desktop use?
[22:08] <mangop> Beldar yeah its gone
[22:08] <Beldar> linuxthefish, Can you parse that to an actual issue?
[22:09] <Beldar> mangop, NOt sure than myself.
[22:10] <mangop> Beldar could the kernal command thing "quite splash" have anything to do with this (in grub config)
[22:11] <Bashing-om> mangop: Black screen when booting up the liveDVD, maybe a graphics driver issue ? Have you tried booting to the liveDVD's boot options screen, and see about the options from the F6 key ?
[22:11] <linuxthefish> Beldar for laptops in general
[22:12] <linuxthefish> i switched over to ubuntu on about 50 modern laptops and nearly all of them have had issues from high fan on resume to display going blank after login
[22:12] <Beldar> linuxthefish, Any opinion is subjective, and not really a support issue.
[22:12] <mangop> Bashing-om I can't actually boot from a cd/dvd because the bios splash doesn't come up
[22:12] <linuxthefish> is there plans for more laptop support in ubuntu?
[22:12] <OERIAS> ?join #ubuntu-ops
[22:13] <gazza> is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between workspaces?
[22:13] <linuxthefish> gazza ctrl + s?
[22:13] <Beldar> linuxthefish,  This is support not polling, no attachment to ubuntu canonical.
[22:13] <linuxthefish> oh :/
[22:14] <Beldar> mangop, quiet splash is post grub menu
[22:14] <rww> OERIAS: You may want to change your "auto-login" "script" to use / instead of ? then.
[22:15] <Bashing-om> mangop: Then that is a) hardware problems, b) Bios problem . If bios can not load and pass of to a boot loader ( LiveDVD is known good), you look at th hardware level. For sure if there is no BIOS splash screen - It has nothing yet to do with any operating system.
[22:15] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, Mh, i'll tinker around with it, see how far I get. Thanks for taking some time :)
[22:16] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: regret I am no more help // let us know what goes on .. I am always open to learning.
[22:17] <mangop> Bashing-om Not sure if it is hardware problems because nothing has changed or happened, I'll research more about the bios
[22:17] <mangop> Thanks Beldar Bashing-om
[22:17] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, If i should manage to get it working again, I'll tell you - but dont count on it :)
[22:17] <Bashing-om> alexThunder: Just because I do nopt know. others here do ! .. hang in here and see what others advise.
[22:18] <Bashing-om> nopt/not*
[22:21] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, Well, I need it to be working for tomorrow. Either I get the foss driver working within the next few hours or I'll just stick with the proprietary one. Trying to get it to work will probably require some reboots, so I might miss some answers anyway
[22:22] <frainfreeze> :D
[22:22] <frainfreeze> It is done
[22:26] <gdoteof> i am having a weird issue with my seiki 4k display.  i can't change the resolution to 1080p, whether i do it with xrandr or the built in "displays" app.. the screen just goes black for a second and then goes back to 1080p like i never told it to do anything else
[22:27] <ice9> how to disable dash lense?
[22:27] <gdoteof> any resolution other than 2160p just resets itself
[22:27] <pawel_> sup dogs
[22:28] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, nvm, it works now. Just tried the 3.16 utopic kernel
[22:29] <Vivekananda> I am having a difficult time removing / fresh reinstalling  samba4. currently I am trying to remove it completely and here is what I see :http://pastie.org/9456803

[22:31] <alexThunder> Bashing-om, thanks! I'm out. Thanks (again) for your help. Wish you a good night/day/younameit :)

[23:06] <sharpen047> hey guys, i was hoping someone could help me with my boot issue onubuntu. its a p4 system and has been running for about 2 years now. it started yesterday and wont load past the loading mouse animation. i can move the mouse but the animation is frozen. it boots up in low graphics mode as well.
[23:07] <Pitbull_R> Hi all. Thinking about installing ubuntu but have some doubts regarding my situation. Anyone have time to answer some questions?
[23:07] <daftykins> sharpen047: version? system sounds pretty old
[23:07] <expunge> sharpen047: what'd you do yesterday?
[23:07] <daftykins> Pitbull_R: that's the purpose of the channel, just ask (preferably on one line)
[23:07] <expunge> Pitbull_R: lots of people
[23:08] <Bashing-om> Pitbull_R: Ask a question, we respond is how this works.
[23:09] <finlstrm> looking for some suggestions here. currently on ubuntu "12.04.5" but with the mainline kernel 3.2.x (system was installed on 12.04) and want to move to mainline 3.13.x like a real  12.04.5 w/ Trusty HWE... any thoughts?
[23:09] <croepha> apt-get purge is wanting to remove packages that I don’t want to remove, what do i do?
[23:09] <Pitbull_R> expunge: thanks. I have been a WIn user all my life, but recently I have found myself tinkering with some linux. I bought a HP Proliant MicroServer this week and the idea is to set up a small home server that will allow me to access my files from the outside, but mainly to run Plex to share my media, run SickBeard and SABnzbd and Couchpotato (and I heard something about headphones?).
[23:10] <expunge> Pitbull_R: about headphones?
[23:10] <Bashing-om> finlstrm: Why ? the HWE is made available to support new hardware .
[23:10] <expunge> Pitbull_R: what's stopping you
[23:10] <daftykins> finlstrm: yeah, install the trusty HWE then
[23:10] <expunge> TaZeR: k-lined =P
[23:10] <finlstrm> want the new kernel version
[23:10] <finlstrm> ive ran sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty but brakes unity
[23:11] <Pitbull_R> Well, the server came with a 250gb disk, I have a 1,5 tb disk in my current pc and it'll be going over to the server, and I'll be adding either a 3rd 4tb drive or a 3rd and 4th 2tb drives.
[23:11] <expunge> Pitbull_R: ah
[23:11] <expunge> Pitbull_R: well if you have any trouble, this is the place
[23:11] <expunge> although server installs are even simpler
[23:11] <Pitbull_R> Will I be able to set up raid with these drives and have some sort of redundancy?
[23:12] <expunge> Pitbull_R: yes... but RAID isn't really about redundancy of _data_, it's about redundancy of _access_
[23:12] <expunge> which is probably not really what you're after
[23:12] <Pitbull_R> No :(
[23:12] <expunge> Pitbull_R: a good backup system, though, yes, good idea
[23:12] <Pitbull_R> I want to keep the data safe.
[23:12] <daftykins> i'd disagree with that statement
[23:12] <expunge> daftykins: yeah but you'd be wrong
[23:12] <daftykins> if you bought 2 x 2TB disks they could be mirrored, so if one died you'd still have the other
[23:12] <expunge> RAID kills drives, it is not about protecting data, not unless you can afford to instantly replace a drive in a _very_ large array
[23:13] <daftykins> but you've still got to back that up separately, so perhaps that's what expunge is getting at with his rude approach
[23:13] <expunge> rude?...
[23:13] <Pitbull_R> Initially I was thinking unRAID but figured out that any which way I cut it, I will always lose a tone of space.
[23:13] <expunge> Pitbull_R: you can backup important stuff with the space you can use equally on each, and use the rest for stuff you don't care about
[23:16] <Pitbull_R> I guess that is one way to go. Would it be possible to partition the 2TB drives equally, say 250GB - 1750GB, then have the 250GB partitions set in mirror?
[23:16] <Bashing-om> finlstrm: "ive ran sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty but brakes unity" you need Xserver and Graphics support also : sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty .
[23:16] <expunge> Pitbull_R: yup
[23:16] <expunge> anything is possible in software
[23:16] <expunge> and that's both possible and simple
[23:16] <jak2000> expunge any advice?
[23:17] <finlstrm> Bashing-om: thanks, ill give that a try. forgot about graphics

[23:23] <fred89> first sry for my bad englisch. can someone pls tell me how i can change the fontcolor of the search?  it's white and i cant see anything -.-
[23:23] <Pitbull_R> expunge: sounds interesting. Would you say it's something a relative Linux newb like me could set up or does it still involve a metric shit ton of file editing and all that :)
[23:23] <fred89> unity tweak tool is installed, but i cant find the option..
[23:24] <expunge> Pitbull_R: I don't see why you'd have any particular trouble with it

[23:25] <ahmadgbg> Looking for a good backup solution, anyone?
[23:25] <expunge> ahmadgbg: rdiff-backup
[23:25] <Pitbull_R> Regarding my current 1,5TB drive, I guess I can't just add it to the span since it's NTFS, so I suppose I'd have to first set up the 2x 1.75TB span first, copy my files over from the 1.5TB, then format and add that one to the span?
[23:25] <Basketball>  how to automatically show/mount usb devices connected via pcmcia-usb adaper?
[23:25] <expunge> hollenjf: mmm
[23:26] <expunge> hollenjf: could be some odd format, I s'pose
[23:26] <daftykins> sharpen047: 10.04 desktop is not supported.
[23:26] <ahmadgbg> expunge, is this between two pc?
[23:26] <sharpen047> daftykins: right. unfortunately i cant upgrade
[23:26] <expunge> ahmadgbg: if need be
[23:26] <expunge> ahmadgbg: one tool per job, that's the best way =)
[23:26]  * expunge has to go

[23:27] <feel> This is jack 3.1.1
[23:27] <sharpen047> daftykins: alright darn. Thanks anyways!
[23:28] <feel> oops hit enter too soon
[23:28] <daftykins> sharpen047: you could install lubuntu 14.04
[23:28] <sharpen047> daftykins: i cant upgrade because its a cnc computer. running EMC
[23:28] <fred89> first sry for my bad englisch. can someone pls tell me how i can change the fontcolor of the search?  it's white and i cant see anything -.-
[23:29] <feel> trying to get jack working  when I run "jack" in terminal I get "*warning* ogg module not installed, ogg support disabled this is jack 3.1.1"
[23:30] <Pitbull_R> Regarding my current 1,5TB drive, I guess I can't just add it to the span since it's NTFS, so I suppose I'd have to first set up the 2x 1.75TB span first, copy my files over from the 1.5TB, then format and add that one to the span?
[23:30] <ice9> how to add desktop session in lightdm for a new installed one?
[23:31] <sharpen047> daftykins: its running a realtime kernel. i just figured it shouldnt be too hard to diagnose since low graphics worked.
[23:33] <furier_> websync - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8153619
[23:33] <daftykins> sharpen047: yeah, but as it's out of support we can't really do anything about it. only server of 10.04 is still supported - but even then only until April of 2015
[23:35] <sharpen047> daftykins: alright worth a shot right? any chance you could take a guess and i can look into it myself? its either that or lose all my settings and reinstall.
[23:36] <jak2000> Dickens: Ubuntu desktop
[23:36] <sharpen047> daftykins: actually. is 12.04 supported?
[23:36] <jak2000> Dickens i see my eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces right?
[23:36] <daftykins> sharpen047: sure is
[23:36] <daftykins> sharpen047: realtime kernel on a CNC machine seems a bit overkill :>
[23:37] <sharpen047> daftykins: let me see if i can boot into the 12.04 version and see if it does the same thing
[23:37] <jak2000> Dickens: http://pastie.org/9456895
[23:37] <daftykins> sharpen047: from what? CD?
[23:37] <sharpen047> daftykins: its running through a par port, so real time pulses :P. what other way is there besides am I/O card?
[23:38] <daftykins> i have no idea what you mean
[23:38] <sharpen047> daftykins: its a multiboot system one version of ubuntu was upgraded to 12.04 some time back but havent used it since the plugins for my cnc didnt work with it. they would now that time has passed and plugins are supported

[23:47] <albdum> hello guys I have a problem on a fresh install, everything worked fine till I run apt-get install nvidia-current...... now it goes to a blipping dash and I cannot even see ctrl alt +F1 shell
[23:47] <albdum> any ideas ?
[23:48] <albdum> also when i try the restore root option and try apt-get remove nvidia* doesn't even show me the nvidia driver....
[23:49] <albdum> btw its ubuntu 14
[23:50] <Bashing-om> albdum: Can you boot to grub's "recovery" console -> enable Networking -> resume normal boot -> additional drivers, and try and install a different grahics driver ?
[23:51] <albdum> Bashing-om: i tried enabling networking but doesn't work :(
[23:52] <goliath> hi
[23:52] <albdum> i do have access to the filesystem tho from the live usb :)
[23:53] <Bashing-om> albdum: UnGood ! wired or WIFI internet connection ?
[23:53] <albdum> both :)
[23:57] <peoe> hello everyone, I just installed 14.04., and noticed that the keyrings, once unlocked, remain forever unlocked. not only that, even a hard drive that is once unlocked and removed, will be automatically unlocked when it is connected again. I checked for a setting to change that, but there seems to be none. is it really the case that the device security is so liberally set in 14.04.?
[23:59] <newb`> would anyone recommend installing ubuntu on 8gb usb stick and running it that way?
