[00:00] <leodebordo33> maby kde on ur boX
[00:00] <LukeMaxwell> What do you mean leodebordo33
[00:00] <dw1> Jordan_U: chainload from menu.lst?
[00:00] <gmachine_24> LukeMaxwell: there are various "desktops" which can be installed that will run with Ubuntu; gnome is the old standard; unity, I think, is still the latest; there is Cinnamon, which linuxmint uses; there are ways to give your computer the look and feel of running a mac os (I have one of those installed on this laptop), etc.
[00:01] <leodebordo33> if u dude like KDE go to SUSE
[00:01] <Jordan_U> dw1: No, you want to just install grub2 (since really, it's installed already).
[00:01] <cuddylier> My server box currently uses eth1, is there a way to change it to eth0? Just change the eth in the /etc/network/interfaces?
[00:01] <gmachine_24> desktop=gui
[00:01] <dw1> Jordan_U: k
[00:02] <leodebordo33> y
[00:02] <dw1> Jordan_U: so now im back where I was before grub-install?
[00:03] <IdleOne> leodebordo33: Could you please restrict your comments to ubuntu support and please address the user you are speaking to when you do.
[00:03] <leodebordo33> ok my dear
[00:04] <Jordan_U> dw1: Before installing grub legacy, yes. Now let's make sure that the grub-pc is configured optimally. Please pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc".
[00:04] <dw1> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/bFF1ztcd
[00:04] <gmachine_24> LukeMaxwell: you are not the only one asking this question please see http://www.zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5923
[00:05] <LukeMaxwell> gmachine_24: headed there now. thanks
[00:05] <hooi> Given you have a port already binded to <IP_ADDRESS>, is there a way to use iptables to expose this same port number to <IP_ADDRESS>? (port forwarding on the same port?!)
[00:06] <Jordan_U> dw1: sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy
[00:06] <Maltahl> Okay is problem: i install ubuntu server on my laptop via a usb pen, after it was done it rebooted and booted perfectly into terminal, then i add grub and add nomodeset, i reboot this time without usb and now i cannot get in, then i insert usb agian and it works again. can someone help?
[00:06] <Jordan_U> dw1: When prompted for install devices, select all of your drives that the BIOS might boot from (*not* any partitions). Select drives with space bar, continue with Enter.
[00:06] <Schnabeltierchen> Someone know an bitlbee alternative based on XMPP?
[00:07] <dw1> Jordan_U: ok so /dev/sda and /dev/sdb .. what about /dev/md1 the raid for the boot partition
[00:07] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: Please pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc" and "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/".
[00:08] <LukeMaxwell> gmachine_24: interesting article but it sounds like it can't be done.
[00:08] <Maltahl> Jordan_U: this is impossible since now i cannot get in even with usb
[00:08] <Jordan_U> dw1: Not /dev/md1, this is asking where to put grub's boot sector, which is the one part of grub that the BIOS loads directly. Since your BIOS can't assemble an mdraid array, installing a boot sector there doesn't make sense :)
[00:09] <gmachine_24> LukeMaxwell: yes, agreed. however, there is the lxde desktop which looks a lot like windows . . . which is what someone answered.... my point was really that it's hard to know what's possible or not without researching...
[00:09] <dw1> Jordan_U: got it, thanks. im taking notes. :)

[00:10] <gmachine_24> LukeMaxwell: it's a desktop :-)
[00:10] <Jordan_U> leodebordo33: Who were your last two messages directed toward?
[00:11] <dw1> Jordan_U: ok http://pastebin.com/w7Frrjxv
[00:11] <Maltahl> Jordan_U: okay im in for some wierd reason. now how do i get the content of: "debconf-show grub-pc" and "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/".
[00:11] <leodebordo33> i do now in space (NASA)
[00:12] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: Run those two commands, and copy and paste their output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com.
[00:13] <gmachine_24> LukeMaxwell: a desktop which can look a lot like Windows see http://www.lxde.org/lxde_desktop

[00:17] <Maltahl> Jordan_U: yup
[00:17] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: What is the exact error message?
[00:18] <Maltahl> Jordan_U: sudo: upgrade-from-grub-legacy: command not found
[00:18] <Maltahl> btw should i unplug the usb ?
[00:18] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: Please pastebin the output of "dpkg -l | grep grub".

[00:20] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: sudo apt-get install grub-pc
[00:20] <BlackDalek> damn.. missed him :(

[00:27] <seamus_> Evening :-)
[00:27] <LukeMaxwell> anyone have any idea about wifi load balancers in linux??
[00:30] <Maltahl> errors
[00:30] <Maltahl> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333757/
[00:31] <Guest19452> hello
[00:32] <Guest19452> is this the support irc for ubuntu
[00:33] <Maltahl> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333757/
[00:33] <LukeMaxwell> yes Guest19452
[00:34] <Guest19452> I am new to ubuntu I just switched from windows 7. I have been trying to play a movie on ubuntu, but it does work. It works with certain movies with others it does not. I was wondering if anyone could help
[00:35] <Cheekio> On 14.04, it looks like my connection to X breaks and I'm just looking at a frozen screen. I can ctrl-alt-f1 to terminal, restart lightdm, and then it acts like everything's fine. What logs can I look at to track down the soure of this issue, and maybe fix it or submit a proper bug report?
[00:36] <Guest19452> So far nothing has worked
[00:36] <LukeMaxwell> Guest19452: Most likely you have the codecs for somes files and not others
[00:36] <LukeMaxwell> what type of file played and what type of file didn't play?
[00:37] <kostkon> Guest19452, install the  ubuntu-restricted-extras   package to get more codecs. Search for it in the software centre
[00:37] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and "debconf-show grub-pc".
[00:37] <dw1> Cheekio: try /var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.xsession-errors
[00:37] <Cheekio> Xorg.0.log is disappointingly unhelpful
[00:37] <Cheekio> .xsessions... I'll check that now thougH!
[00:38] <BlackDalek> Anyone know how to fix continual signon-ui popup bug that appeared after upgrade to trusty tahr 14.04? http://askubuntu.com/questions/451245/signon-ui-enter-your-credentials-dialog-on-desktop
[00:38] <Cheekio> Also not terribly helpful
[00:38] <Guest19452> I have already installed those it still does not work
[00:38] <Cheekio> Any way I can turn on verbose logging for xserver?
[00:38] <LukeMaxwell> Guest28388: What video player are you usin?
[00:38] <dw1> Cheekio: and/or other system logs like /var/log/syslog perhaps
[00:38] <Maltahl> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333802/
[00:38] <dw1> Cheekio: dont know, not expert :)
[00:38] <Cheekio> I started by looking at syslog and kern.log :(
[00:39] <Jordan_U> dw1: That looks good.
[00:39] <Guest19452> I have installed livdvdnav4 livdvdread4 and livdvdcss2
[00:39] <dw1> Jordan_U: i thought so.. pretty straightforward now that i think about it
[00:39] <Guest19452> I am using vlc
[00:40] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: You selected a partition as one of the install devices. Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and this time unselect the partition.
[00:40] <dw1> Jordan_U: i guess nothing bad happened when i chose to 'install package maintainers version' when kernel was upgraded.. or if something bad did happen it could be fixed by the process we did
[00:40] <dw1> Jordan_U: now i know how to check with debconf :)
[00:41] <Guest19452> Should I reinstall ubuntu
[00:41] <dw1> Jordan_U: and the difference between legacy and grub2
[00:42] <Jordan_U> !dvd | Guest19452
[00:42] <Maltahl> Jordan_U now its shows parameters: quiet splash nomodeset
[00:42] <Guest19452> I do realize that, but I am wondering if it has to do something with maybe the files being corrupted
[00:43] <Maltahl> Jordan_U so now i just select /dev/sda ?
[00:44] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: Correct.
[00:45] <dw1> Cheekio: maybe /var/log/gdm/*
[00:46] <dw1> Jordan_U: so if grub breaks or something I shouldnt run grub-install but... apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc, perhaps?
[00:47] <dw1> Jordan_U: how can i get back to that 'select drive' menu?
[00:47] <dw1> Jordan_U: say, if grub-pc is already installed
[00:48] <Jordan_U> dw1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
[00:48] <dw1> Jordan_U: ah great
[00:48] <Maltahl> there Jordan_u what now ? :)
[00:49] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: "debconf-show grub-pc" again to be sure, but you should be done now.
[00:49] <Maltahl> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333879/
[00:50] <dw1> Maltahl: lookin' good :)
[00:50] <Maltahl> so now i just reboot ? :)
[00:50] <BlackDalek> Does anyone who's joined this channel in the last 15 minutes know how to fix continual signon-ui popup bug that appeared after upgrade to trusty tahr 14.04? http://askubuntu.com/questions/451245/signon-ui-enter-your-credentials-dialog-on-desktop
[00:51] <kostkon> BlackDalek, what happens when you dismiss it
[00:52] <BlackDalek> kostkon, it respawns after a second.
[00:52] <kostkon> BlackDalek, do you know its process name
[00:53] <leonlemouton> BlackDalek : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently#Use_of_tilde_in_pathnames_such_as_.22credentials.3D.2BAH4ALw.smbcredentials.22
[00:53] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: Indeed, that looks good. You should be able to reboot from the internal drive now.
[00:53] <BlackDalek> kostkon, as far as I know, it is signon-ui (I can kill that process, and the popup disappears, then it respawns).
[00:53] <Maltahl> awesome! lets try it out!
[00:54] <Maltahl> Jordan_U OMFG IT WORKS!!! if you ever stop by in copenhagen then email me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>then first 5 beers are on me!
[00:55] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: :)
[00:55] <BlackDalek> leonlemouton, I am unsure how that page is relevant. I am not trying to mount any windows share.
[00:55] <kostkon> BlackDalek, and which icon does it use
[00:55] <BlackDalek> kostkon, icon?
[00:56] <kostkon> BlackDalek, in the launcher
[00:56] <Thete> Why are people still installing php xcache when zend opcache is now included in PHP?

[01:01] <unlimitednights> Is this an acceptable place to ask for help with a problem I am having?
[01:01] <kostkon> unlimitednights, yes, this is the support channel
[01:01] <unlimitednights> Delightful. Here is what is going on with me kostkon.
[01:01] <Guest34745> hi. if i have a question that isn't strictly ubuntu related, but involves linux - can i ask it in here?  I can't see an appropriate channel, and I've always got a lot of help before on here.  It involves converting a gpt/mbr hybrid to gpt without losing data.
[01:02] <kostkon> BlackDalek, could you check your process list or maybe pastebin it   with   ps -fu yourusername
[01:02] <unlimitednights> I, for the life of me, can't change the owner or group of a directory I have in /media, when I unmount it, the directory has basic user ownership and group, but as soon as I mount -a, it changes it back to root... Any ideas?
[01:02] <kostkon> omni3, there is ##linux
[01:03] <omni3> ooh, thanks, didn't know/notice that one
[01:04] <leodebordo33> ciao bello /quit
[01:06] <BlackDalek> kostkon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7333950/
[01:07] <kostkon> BlackDalek, process names are cut in half, maybe you could maximise your terminal before giving the command
[01:07] <johnjohn101> need help with webcam.  why am i not in the video group by default?
[01:08] <Jack64> Hi, I have ubuntu server 12.04 installed and my /boot is full so I can't install anything using apt-get install and I can't remove the linux-headers that are using up the space with apt-get remove (same error, no space left on drive). Can I just rm the old header files from /boot to make space?
[01:09] <BlackDalek> kostkon, not sure why lines aren't wrapping. I will create a new paste.
[01:09] <daftykins> Jack64: use dpkg to remove a package in there
[01:10] <Jack64> daftykins: sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-3.8.0-29 returns gzip: stdout: No space left on device
[01:11] <Maltahl> Jordan_U : just 1 thing i need to get help and its pretty simple
[01:11] <Jack64> apt-get autoremove doesn't work either..
[01:11] <daftykins> Jack64: what part of 'use dpkg' makes you refer to apt-get? :)
[01:11] <Jack64> oops xD my bad
[01:11] <BlackDalek> kostkon, new paste - http://paste.ubuntu.com/7333972/
[01:12] <unlimitednights> Does anyone have any particular tips for me?
[01:12] <Maltahl> Jordan_U : i want to set my server to auto mount my nas drive. i already found the command and put it into rc.local. put for some reason it does not work. but when i enter the exact command manually it works.
[01:13] <Jack64> daftykins: is that dpkg remove <package> ?
[01:13] <daftykins> unlimitednights: mount it with 'user' as options?
[01:13] <kostkon> BlackDalek, did you by any chance try to setup an account in Online Accounts
[01:14] <BlackDalek> kostkon, I have several. But if I disable all of them, the popup still persists...
[01:15] <FiremanEd> pela: Jebałem twoja matka
[01:15] <FiremanEd> pardon, wrong window
[01:16] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: Please pastebin the command and your /etc/rc.local (though automatic mounting at boot should really be configured in /etc/fstab).
[01:16] <Jack64> daftykins: I removed a couple headers but no space freed on /boot... any other suggestions?
[01:16] <unlimitednights> daftykins, on the mount man page, under "The non-super user mounts" it says I can put it in the fstab file to mount as [username] is that correct?
[01:17] <Maltahl> i will censor the username and pass
[01:17] <Jordan_U> Jack64: Why do you have a separate /boot/?
[01:17] <daftykins> Jack64: yeah headers aren't there, you got several kernels on there? remove the oldest maybe?
[01:17] <dw1> dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc wants to add "nomdmonddf nomdmonisw" to my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.  I did some googling but can't tell if that's bad for my setup, which is software RAID with two drives.  I am currently able to do mdadm --detail /dev/md1 and see some information, if thats relevant..  Adding to concern, there appears to be a bug where these parameters are suggested and even duplicated on every execution (http://j.mp/1nuHCwu), so I don't know if they
[01:17] <dw1> were there before or not..
[01:17] <daftykins> Jordan_U: why not? :)
[01:18] <Maltahl> Jordan_U http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333991/
[01:18] <kostkon> BlackDalek, it could be coming from indicator-internode? i can see its some kind of indicator that connects to your isp?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> dw1: "cat /proc/cmdline" will tell you what kernel parameters were used for this boot.
[01:18] <Jordan_U> daftykins: Because you can run out of space :)
[01:18] <Jack64> Jordan_U: I have encrypted partitions so /boot is just 250MB in size and fills up pretty fast. dpkg -r linux-image-generic.3.8.0-29 did the trick ;)
[01:18] <daftykins> Jordan_U: pff that's a silly argument
[01:18] <dw1> Jordan_U: ahh, no paramaters...  glad i ran dpkg-reconfigure and found that bug then.. now ill remove them.  thanks
[01:19] <daftykins> Jack64: good man - purge all the kernels bar for the latest known-good one then before trouble occurs
[01:19] <daftykins> Jack64: another trick i learnt, for reference, is tune2fs to remove root's reserved space % to make a bit more room
[01:20] <Jordan_U> dw1: You're welcome.
[01:20] <BlackDalek> kostkon, yes possibly. I considered that, but it will not accept the username/passord associated with that applet. :(
[01:20] <Jack64> daftykins: thanks for that tip on tune2fs. does sudo apt-get autoremove purge all others kernels or do I have to do it manually?
[01:21] <kostkon> BlackDalek, would it be possible to close/quit it?
[01:21] <daftykins> Jack64: manual, autoremove just removes headers of already removed kernels
[01:22] <Jack64> daftykins: got it.
[01:24] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: There is a lot wrong with that, 1: rc.local is already run as root, no need for sudo 2: Static networking should really be configured in /etc/network/interfaces 3: Using delays is generally unreliable and considered bad practice, you should find a way that confirms that for example the network is actually up before continuing 4: Scripts that will be run as root should not generally be stored in your home directory and ...
[01:24] <Jordan_U> ... writeable by users other than root 5: Mounts should be configured in /etc/fstab rather than via manual scripts 6: /media/ is a directory for storing other directories that will be used as mount points, it shouldn't be a mountpoint itself. Unfortunately I need to leave so I won't be able to walk you through fixing all of those problems.
[01:25] <Maltahl> Jordan_U: im a noobie :S
[01:25] <Maltahl> but thanks
[01:26] <Jordan_U> Maltahl: Didn't mean to be harsh, just had to write the message quickly. And you're welcome :)
[01:26] <Maltahl> Jordan_U: i know :) and im thankful for your help :) im just telling you why it was setup like a madman

[01:31] <Aerolite> hello #ubuntu. i installed 14.04 on my laptop just yesterday, but am having issues with my touchpad now. the cursor moves very slowly/essentially not at all via touchpad, but works perfectly when i connect a wireless mouse. of course, i can't always use my mouse so i'd like to get the touchpad working. any tips?
[01:36] <[Ex0r]> is there a way in ubuntu to force dhcp lease update to change my ip ?
[01:36] <[Ex0r]> The system is conflicting with another device and keeps losing connection
[01:37] <Dorth> sudo dhclient -r
[01:37] <[Ex0r]> will it assign it a new ip address or just refresh the connection ?
[01:37] <Dorth> That depends on your dhcp server
[01:38] <Dorth> It'll re-request another
[01:38] <Dorth> DHCP is handing them out
[01:38] <daftykins> they're not both on DHCP if they're conflicting
[01:38] <in_deep_thought> how can I copy files to my sd card? I seem to need sudo permission but cannot find the directory to do it through the command line
[01:38] <daftykins> in_deep_thought: is the SD card mounted?
[01:39] <[Ex0r]> okay, cool
[01:39] <in_deep_thought> daftykins, no, how can I do that? don't i need to know where it is in the file system
[01:39] <[Ex0r]> daftykins- They are both setup for dhcp, I checked in my router. There's a wireless device on my network using the IP that my non-wireless connection is trying to use
[01:39] <[Ex0r]> but i cant change the IP for that one, because it's a blu-ray player
[01:40] <daftykins> [Ex0r]: that doesn't seem likely, as they should both query and be offered an address each
[01:40] <[Ex0r]> unless the dhcp server had a hiccup and assigned two to the same
[01:40] <daftykins> in_deep_thought: a disk isn't on the file system until it's mounted. open the terminal with ctrl+alt+T then type "sudo fdisk -l" and copy the output to paste.ubuntu.com to share with us
[01:41] <daftykins> [Ex0r]: rebooting the devices would surely be enough to resolve that, or if the DHCP server is really that rubbish, perhaps you could enter the device MAC addresses and enact some static leases
[01:41] <in_deep_thought> http://bpaste.net/show/8qwNDBNNxXptdgJAUWH6/
[01:41] <daftykins> *or* statically address entirely
[01:42] <daftykins> in_deep_thought: so you're running arch but in here asking for help eh.
[01:42] <daftykins> tsk tsk
[01:42] <[Ex0r]> daftykins i thinking just refreshing the server ip will fix it, it didnt do it until the last time the dhcp lease was renewed
[01:42] <[Ex0r]> rather, forcefully renewed when we lost power
[01:42] <in_deep_thought> daftykins, lol is that bad? I thought mounting would be the same across distros
[01:42] <daftykins> sure but technically you shouldn't ask for help in here when you don't even run ubuntu :P
[01:43] <[Ex0r]> I AM running ubuntu
[01:43] <robin_> Fresh install of 12.04LTS on my HP ENVY 17 and using an HDMI cable to connect to a 32" television to act as second monitor. I go into system settings, display and attempt to run dual monitors and my screens go black, i get logged out and have to enter my password again. Then, when the whole system refreshes, i am back to mirrored displays. help?!
[01:43] <[Ex0r]> on my server box, which is why I asked how to refresh the IP
[01:43] <[Ex0r]> just updated to 14.04 yesterday actually
[01:43] <daftykins> [Ex0r]: that line wasn't at you, plus you'd know that if you paid more attention ;)
[01:43] <daftykins> in_deep_thought: "sudo mkdir /mnt/sd" then "sudo mount -t exfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sd"
[01:43] <daftykins> in_deep_thought: wait i got that wrong
[01:44] <daftykins> in_deep_thought: change 'exfat' to 'vfat'
[01:44] <Aerolite> anyone have any advice for fixing my touchpad?
[01:44] <raspberrypifan> im helping my mom with ubuntu as we speak
[01:44] <raspberrypifan> she is the only mom i know of with ubuntu
[01:44] <raspberrypifan> even im on OS X
[01:45] <[Ex0r]> i installed it on my moms computer for two days once
[01:45] <[Ex0r]> when she pissed me off
[01:45] <daftykins> [Ex0r]: that is both family unfriendly language and off topic
[01:45] <daftykins> raspberrypifan: do you have a support question?
[01:46] <BlackDalek> kostkon, disabled all online accounts and indicator-internode.... signon-ui popup returned again.
[01:46] <raspberrypifan> no but i hang out here
[01:46] <raspberrypifan> i like to idle
[01:46] <raspberrypifan> with ubuntu
[01:46] <raspberrypifan> u know
[01:47] <[Ex0r]> daftykins- Thanks for the command
[01:47] <daftykins> raspberrypifan: this channel is not for off topic chat.
[01:47] <raspberrypifan> im on topic
[01:47] <raspberrypifan> were talking ubuntu
[01:48] <daftykins> sigh, what really gets me is that you actually think you're being original
[01:48] <kostkon> BlackDalek, do you see anything unusual in your startup apps?
[01:48] <robin_> Monitor issue? anyone?
[01:49] <raspberrypifan> ubuntu mean unity doesnt it
[01:49] <daftykins> robin_: what graphics hardware?
[01:49] <BlackDalek> kostkon, where do I find my startup apps in trusty tahr?
[01:50] <kostkon> BlackDalek, search for it in the dash
[01:50] <robin_> sorry about the boot. I'm ghte guy with the dual monitor issue. :(
[01:50] <in_deep_thought> daftykins, I get : mount: /dev/mmcblk0p1 is write-protected, mounting read-only . Is there a way to access it as a read and write? I want to copy files to it
[01:51] <daftykins> robin_: what graphics hardware?
[01:51] <Maltahl> can anyone help me do these automated actions on startup correctly so i dont have to do them agian ? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7333991/
[01:52] <daftykins> in_deep_thought: try again with -o rw
[01:53] <raspberrypifan> is there a pretty version of skype for ubuntu
[01:53] <raspberrypifan> this one is so ugly
[01:53] <xangua> raspberrypifan: complain with skype
[01:53] <raspberrypifan> isnt there a pretty open source version that connects to skype
[01:54] <xangua> no
[01:54] <Thete> Anyone use nginx on ubuntu?
[01:54] <[Ex0r]> daftykins- Do you get an acknowledgement when you run that sudo dhclient -r command ? It takes me back to prompt almost instantly and my IP address is the same
[01:55] <BlackDalek> kostkon, I have 3 items in my startup apps - tangerine, indicator-internode and indicator-application-service (I have no idea what the last one is).
[01:56] <[Ex0r]> in /etc/network/interfaces eth0 is listed as inet dhcp, so its getting its ip from the dhcp server, but it wont refresh the ip
[01:56] <gry> Thete, yes?
[01:56] <daftykins> [Ex0r]: i never gave you a command, i don't run that one at all so i can't tell you (:
[01:56] <[Ex0r]> Oh nope you're right, it was Dorth
[01:56] <gry> raspberrypifan, opensource and skype don't go well together; they change the protocol every release just to prevent exactly that
[01:56] <daftykins> [Ex0r]: you're going to have to restart the DHCP server to cause it to pick another
[01:57] <kostkon> BlackDalek, i would suggest this: disable internode from startup apps, remove any accs in online accs, check if you are already logged in ubuntu sso in software centre and then log out and log back in.
[01:57] <[Ex0r]> grr, im in the middle of uploading a huge video :(
[01:57] <gry> raspberrypifan, skype is run by MS now so i expect some new exciting changes every now and then
[01:57] <[Ex0r]> stupid router and the inability to kick connections off the network :(
[01:57] <raspberrypifan> i doubt there gonna keep supporting skype on linux then
[01:57] <BlackDalek> kostkon, I am not sure why tangerine is in there - it has not been installed since 2 or 3 ubuntu releases back.
[01:57] <daftykins> [Ex0r]: i've honestly never seen two devices conflict with the same IP - your setup is screwy
[01:57] <kostkon> !find tangerine
[01:58] <veryhappy> hey guys, i struggle getting this f***** up dhcp server isc-dhcp-server to run, i actually wanted to use dhcp3 but i don't know how to do all this, everyone starts small, but i want to install and configure a simple tftpd server.
[01:58] <kostkon> !info tangerine
[01:58] <daftykins> never when both set to DHCP, that is
[01:58] <daftykins> veryhappy: follow a guide
[01:58] <[Ex0r]> when I look at my connected devices, under my wireless section it shows <IP_ADDRESS> as a connected device, which is labeled as SAMSUNG (my blu-ray player). When I go into ifconfig on my server, the wired connection shows up using the same ip address
[01:58] <veryhappy> daftykins: what you think what i try to do? :D you're funny...
[01:58] <kostkon> BlackDalek, interesting. tangerine could be the source of the popup yes
[01:59] <kostkon> BlackDalek, disable that as well
[01:59] <veryhappy> daftykins: i have here /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf but i don't know if that belongs to the isc-dhcp-server
[01:59] <Thete> gry: Is there a command like with apache's a2ensite for nginx?
[01:59] <Thete> or do you just create symlinks?
[01:59] <daftykins> veryhappy: well if you were following a guide you'd happily tell us what part is going wrong, right? right?
[02:00] <daftykins> veryhappy: sounds about right
[02:00] <veryhappy> daftykins: everything started with following a guide that told me what to install, that was very nice, and after that the problems came, because the file that had to be in the one directory is now in another directory, because the developers can't decide where to put the conf file, how it seems...
[02:01] <daftykins> veryhappy: that doesn't sound like a very big problem.
[02:01] <veryhappy> ok, well... i'm gonna start new.
[02:02] <veryhappy> my netbook is having this DHCP......... line and after that it always tells me that it didn't receive a boot file, E53 afaik.
[02:03] <daftykins> veryhappy: you need to do more than just get DHCP going.
[02:03] <veryhappy> i know
[02:03] <daftykins> if you know, why are you saying the above? :)
[02:04] <veryhappy> because i'm not sure in every part, don't you want to understand, i'm not 100% new to configuration just 70%
[02:04] <[Ex0r]> hmm I think my ubuntu install is messed up :(
[02:04] <[Ex0r]> I cant even reboot it from cli
[02:04] <veryhappy> is my router already giving my netbook automatically an ip address? my router is assigning already dhcp addresses would other dhcp server not disturb then?
[02:05] <BuSerD> i have a few servers with sda1 (/boot) and / on a separate lvm sda1. hitting initramfs after an lvmresize. any thoughts on how to recover?
[02:05] <daftykins> veryhappy: they would compete yes
[02:05] <daftykins> [Ex0r]: running what...
[02:05] <BuSerD> s/sda1/sda2 for the rootfs
[02:05] <veryhappy> then i would have to tell my router which server has the tftp config?
[02:05] <[Ex0r]> daftykins ive done reboot and shutdown
[02:05] <[Ex0r]> it fails
[02:07] <daftykins> 'sudo shutdown -r 0' ?
[02:07] <[Ex0r]> yes
[02:07] <[Ex0r]> it fails and stops
[02:09] <[Ex0r]> at waiting for all remaining processes to terminate
[02:10] <nith1210> ignore #ubuntu join part quit
[02:10] <nith1210> sorry; missed the /
[02:10] <veryhappy> daftykins: couldn't i just tell the client  to get the ip address by the router and get the pxelinux.0 by another computer/server?
[02:11] <[Ex0r]> Grr, this thing will not let go of this IP address, I even forced my router to assign it a static one based on it's mac address
[02:13] <daftykins> veryhappy: it doesn't sound like you've looked into this topic much as you'd know the answer to that
[02:15] <riverloop_> Hi I want to install the designer application for qt5. I'm using 14.04. Which is the package that I need to install?
[02:16] <dnull> hello everyone
[02:16] <veryhappy> hi dnull
[02:16] <dnull> i was wondering
[02:16] <leonlemouton> riverloop_ ; https://qt-project.org/wiki/Install_Qt_5_on_Ubuntu

[02:18] <riverloop_> leonlemouton: Can it be installed from Synaptic?
[02:18] <riverloop_> I prefer it that way, if it is possible like that.
[02:19] <riverloop_> I don't see a package for qt5 designer yet.
[02:19] <johnjohn101> if i am on 12.04 and get an error with gstreamer-properties on a webcam, does this mean that the webcam is not linux compatible/
[02:19] <reisio> johnjohn101: inconclusive
[02:20] <reisio> particularly if your webcam isn't as old as that old old distro :p
[02:20] <anton03> i updated to 14.04 so what should i change this to in my repositories? http://ppa.launchpad.net/zfs-native/stable/ubuntu saucy

[02:47] <Yelu> Ninjawarrior_, you could switch off 3D

[03:13] <Yelu> Ninjawarrior_, you could test your machine against this optimized vmware image ( => http://www.traffictool.net/vmware/lubuntu1310t.html ), to find out, if it's your machine or your vm.

[03:24] <xyzaffa1r> I am running wine1.7 on ubuntu 14.04 and when I try to run castle crashers through steam using wine my sound is very distorted, but it seems to be fine in other games though wine.
[03:24] <xyzaffa1r> *through
[03:24] <holstein> thats great!
[03:24] <holstein> sounds like a great ratio of unsupported games you are able to make work
[03:25] <xyzaffa1r> me?
[03:25] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: correct.. i was responding to you
[03:25] <xyzaffa1r> holstein, One out of 3
[03:25] <xyzaffa1r> ....
[03:25] <xyzaffa1r> What a wonderful ratio
[03:25] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: ?
[03:26] <xyzaffa1r> holstein, Only one of my games works correctly
[03:26] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: considering you were promised that zero would work in linux, i say its pretty good
[03:26] <xyzaffa1r> holstein, just...
[03:26] <xyzaffa1r> holstein, I just need help.
[03:27] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: you can try referring to the wineHQ documentation on that particular game
[03:27] <xyzaffa1r> No help there
[03:27] <holstein> you can try the wine supprot channels
[03:27] <holstein> but, it may be that they dont work
[03:27] <xyzaffa1r> No help there either
[03:27] <holstein> they are not linux games
[03:27] <xyzaffa1r> holstein, Castle crashers should run fine under wine
[03:28] <xyzaffa1r> Rated gold, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28622
[03:28] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: unless the developers state that it has either native linux support, or something in wine, then, it may not work
[03:28] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: you can read and see what is needed to make it "gold" there
[03:29] <xyzaffa1r> What does not
[03:29] <xyzaffa1r> Xbox 360 controller with standard and override xinput (see information below how to make it work)
[03:29] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: i realize it can be frustrating, but nothing in linux or ubuntu is preventing that game from working for you
[03:30] <xyzaffa1r> What works
[03:30] <xyzaffa1r> - Audio
[03:30] <xyzaffa1r> holstein, so you think its the game itself?
[03:30] <kodapa85> xyzaffa1r: your using 14.04 right?
[03:30] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: i *know* its the game.. its not for linux
[03:31] <xyzaffa1r> kodapa85, correct
[03:31] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: using wine is always a bit of a hack, and a compromise.. can be frustrating, though, they do great work
[03:31] <xyzaffa1r> holstein, I understand that, but I dont know what to do to get it to work, I came here for that.
[03:32] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: sure, but it may *never* work. since its not intended to, and the "best" way to make it work is for the creators to create it for linux
[03:32] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: otherwise, you should try camping out in the wine channel. or try a wine mailing list
[03:33] <kodapa85> it has only been out 8 days. Native Steam doesn't even support 13.10, let alone 14.04. It takes time for things to be ironed out
[03:33] <xyzaffa1r> holstein, Ok great, thanks ill go tell them, to port it and Im sure they just will. Now no offense, but if you cant help me, please stop.
[03:33] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: sure.. i have no intention of being comabative with you, friend.. but, that game is not a linux game.. so we cant support it
[03:34] <IdleOne> xyzaffa1r: you might try asking #winehq
[03:34] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: you'll do better off in a wine specific support area
[03:34] <scipy53> Experiencing something quite odd. None of my multimedia playback apps are opening, all of a sudden. Any ideas?
[03:35] <xyzaffa1r> IdleOne, I know that, no one is answering itm I have been there a while.
[03:35] <holstein> xyzaffa1r: you may want to look into the mailing list, or just be more patient there.. sometimes you need to wait 24 hours or more in channels like that
[03:35] <IdleOne> xyzaffa1r: sometimes it takes a while, remember it is friday night.
[03:37] <xyzaffa1r> Fixed it! I changed it to windows vista, on the winehq they specificly said sound wont work unless your on windows xp mode, but what ever
[03:37] <xyzaffa1r> Thank you, IdleOne, holstein, kodapa85
[03:37] <willwh> xyzaffa1r: you should add that to the winehq entry you're looking at :)
[03:37] <willwh> sorry I just got back from dinner and was reading backscroll
[03:37] <willwh> I was just about to suggest that :P
[03:38] <xyzaffa1r> wllwh, ok, Ill try and find that entry again, Cant remember where it was on there)
[03:38] <xyzaffa1r> Bye
[03:38] <willwh> xyzaffa1r: browser history ftw
[03:38] <holstein> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=28622
[03:38] <xyzaffa1r> willwh, That was at least one operating system ago :)
[03:38] <kodapa85> xyzaffa1r: There are so many driver/hardware combinations. I've just had to role back from fglrx-update to the open source drive within 14.04 due to stability issues. Im sure if I used the latest propriety drivers it would work fine. Great to hear you have it working! Was Vista the default, find it strange >_<
[03:38] <xyzaffa1r> wllwh, I switch linux distros constantly
[03:39] <xyzaffa1r> kodapa85, No default was xp
[03:39] <xyzaffa1r> I changed it to vista
[03:39] <xyzaffa1r> Bye!
[03:39] <kodapa85> Cya!
[03:44] <Ccslover_> I need help

[03:46] <randypfau> i have a server running ubuntu w/ 4 attached drives for media... is there any pro to using ext4 as a drive format over NTFS? or does it not really matter?

[03:46] <Ccslover_> I'm I my phone
[03:46] <Ccslover_> Lol
[03:47] <kodapa85> Ccslover_: is wireless your only option? I'd have thought a LAN connection would still auto configure
[03:47] <Ccslover_> I connected for lan it didn't do anything,
[03:48] <Beldar> If you mount a partition with fstab where is it mounted?
[03:48] <holstein> Ccslover_: this sounds suspicious.. please try and list all you have done that leads up to your system breakage
[03:48] <kodapa85> tried ifconfig to see what it was doing?
[03:49] <rbrooks> thats deprecated
[03:49] <mukti> Is there any way to force a shell into displaying UTF8 characters? I have some centos boxes that display Japanese characters fine; but when I attempt to display them on my Ubuntu (11.04) box, I cant get them to display
[03:50] <Ccslover_> I was looking up why I have to suspend my session to connect wirelessly. Then I went to synapsys and installed something I should nt have apparently,
[03:50] <holstein> Ccslover_: synaptic?
[03:51] <holstein> Ccslover_: did you add packages then? or remove them?
[03:51] <holstein> Ccslover_: what did you add or remove?
[03:51] <Ccslover_> My wireless shut off and my icon disappeared A's hold on I'll tell you
[03:51] <Beldar> Doh, /mnt
[03:51] <Ccslover_> In I my phone so it's really slow
[03:51] <kodapa85> Ccslover_: What does your /etc/network/interfaces contain?
[03:52] <dw1> whats a good (gnome) tool for recording mouse movements and clicks and keypresses, and playing them back as a macro?
[03:52] <Yelu> mukti, UTF-8 should be default take a look in "cat /etc/default/locale" and  "cat /etc/default/console-setup"
[03:53] <holstein> Ccslover_: whats the output of ifconfig, like kodapa85 suggested?
[03:53] <Yelu> mukti, what's the output of "set|grep -i LC"
[03:53] <Yelu> ?
[03:53] <Ccslover_> Nothing in my network interfaces
[03:54] <Ccslover_> Oops wait

[03:55] <mukti> Yelu: It looks like I don't have the locale or console-setup files you mentioned though
[03:56] <Ccslover_> It says #interface(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo I face lo inet loop back
[03:56] <Ccslover_> Sorry again I'm in my phone, I'm a slow typer
[03:56] <Ccslover_> That's what you asked me to look for correct?
[03:56] <holstein> Ccslover_: ifconfig in the terminal
[03:57] <kodapa85> Ccslover_: Surely there is more than just that within /etc/network/interfaces. lines beginning with # are disregarded
[03:58] <Ccslover_> I did ifconfig
[03:58] <Ccslover_> I'll type it takes me a minute
[03:58] <holstein> Ccslover_: you need not type it
[03:58] <chiver> I'm a Mint convert. I like the layout and config. There are a few settings I'm not so happy with. I don't like the "whisper" menue. am I the only one?
[03:59] <Ccslover_> Ok what should I do
[03:59] <holstein> Ccslover_: just look and see what the output is. see if you get in IP address.. try pinging the gateway
[03:59] <holstein> !networking
[03:59] <Ccslover_> I net address
[04:00] <Ccslover_> And I typed !networking and event not found
[04:00] <holstein> Ccslover_: if it were my hardware, id try it with a live CD, or a known supported operating system, to make sure the hardware is functioning
[04:01] <holstein> Ccslover_: id try replugging the connection, id try rebooting and looking in the bios..
[04:01] <holstein> Ccslover_: id say *exactly* what packages were added or removed
[04:01] <Yelu> mukti, my bad. - You got this problem on your CentOS boxes while ssh'ing into them, right?
[04:01] <Ccslover_> I don't have a live cd, I installed vok just a moment
[04:01] <Ccslover_> Typo
[04:02] <Ccslover_> Ignore that
[04:02] <Ccslover_> Just a moment
[04:02] <kodapa85> Ccslover_: have you checked the history within Ubuntu Software Centre? Might help you reinstall/remove affected packages
[04:02] <mukti> Yelu: no, I was just using my CentOS boxes as a comparison. I can type/view Japanese characters on them; but I cannot do that on my Ubuntu boxes (which are as low as 11.04 or as high as 12.04)
[04:02] <mukti> I might just backup what I need from the boxes and rebuild them
[04:03] <Ccslover_> I removed network-manager and network-manager-gnome
[04:04] <gry> that's brave
[04:04] <holstein> Ccslover_: so, you removed those? and didnt add anything?
[04:05] <holstein> Ccslover_: anyways, just add back whatever you removed
[04:05] <Ccslover_> Well they were removed when I clicked apply by accident. I selected connman reading about it
[04:05] <Ccslover_> It won't
[04:05] <Ccslover_> And I removed connman
[04:05] <holstein> Ccslover_: not it, you reinstall what you removed
[04:06] <holstein> Ccslover_: add back whatever you removed when you broke the system
[04:07] <Ccslover_> An error has occurred
[04:07] <Ccslover_> That's what I get. It says
[04:07] <holstein> Ccslover_: ok.. you'l have to share that error, or work through it on your own
[04:07] <Yelu> mukti,  if you are in a shell on a 11.04 Ubuntu machine and would type "set | grep -i LC" - What gives?
[04:08] <kodapa85> Ccslover_: You've tried apt-get reinstall connman?
[04:09] <Yelu> mukti, and the same procedure on your 12.04 machine ... ;)
[04:09] <Ccslover_> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com ... Abby way the website then could not resolve host
[04:09] <holstein> Ccslover_: are you online?
[04:10] <holstein> Ccslover_: can you ping the gateway? are you getting an IP address?
[04:10] <Ccslover_> What command do I need to run?
[04:10] <holstein> Ccslover_: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/06/how-to-manually-set-up-your-wired.html
[04:10] <holstein> Ccslover_: it depends, friend
[04:11] <Ccslover_> I wish I could talk to someone it's easier lol
[04:11] <holstein> Ccslover_: you should get online.. however you need to do that.. and reinstall what you removed
[04:11] <holstein> Ccslover_: i *am* someone.. and we are talking
[04:11] <holstein> Ccslover_: the link above is "how to get online without network manager"
[04:11] <Ccslover_> I agree completely, and I meant vocally
[04:12] <Ccslover_> Ok thank you I will let you know how it goes
[04:12] <holstein> Ccslover_: i could make a list of what would be "easier"
[04:12] <xavi> hi
[04:12] <Ccslover_> Add I said I'm on my phone so I'll have to tsb over
[04:12] <Ccslover_> Thank thou all
[04:12] <Ccslover_> I'll
[04:12] <Ccslover_> You
[04:12] <Ccslover_> ... I apologise.
[04:13] <Ccslover_> Anyway, I'll be back
[04:13] <Xcav8> anyone know why flash works so horribly with my ati radeon card? chugs big time when streaming flash videos full screen. only thing that works is if i uninstall flash and use gnash instead of flash..
[04:15] <xangua> Ccslover_: option 1. If you have a  dvd of your current ubuntu version use it as source (Software center, Edit menu, Sources, mark dvd, insert it in your computer) and reinstall network manager & network manager gnome
[04:15] <xangua> 2. if you have a live USB you will have to start it, browse it's content and extract the .deb files
[04:15] <xangua> 3. go to  http://packages.ubuntu.com/ search and download the .deb files of the corresponding ubuntu release you are using
[04:21] <spearson> Hi question
[04:22] <spearson> I had to reinstall Ubuntu on a Macbook and now when I boot, I get refit which let's me choose what partition to boot from and I select Ubuntu and It boots to grub>
[04:23] <spearson> When reinstalling it, it said error on bootloader so I reinstalled Ubunti 13.10 without the bootloader
[04:23] <spearson> can anyone help?
[04:24] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | spearson
[04:25] <spearson> I'm trying to boot back into the gui
[04:26] <Jordan_U> spearson: Can you be on IRC and at the grub shell at the same time?
[04:26] <spearson> It's on a different Mac
[04:27] <Jordan_U> spearson: search --set=root --file /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:27] <Ccslover> Ok well I have no eth0 showing up
[04:28] <Jordan_U> spearson: If that prints nothing then "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" .
[04:29] <spearson> I put that connand in @jordan and it just went to a new line grub>
[04:29] <spearson> should I reboot or imput the command you gave
[04:29] <trustytahr> I suggest you guys disable online search results when searching in the Dash. You can do this by clicking the power cog in the top right -> System Settings... -> Security & Privacy -> Search -> Change Include online search results to OFF. You should do this 3rd party websites will get everything you type in the Dash (even single letter increments) which including non-online searches like the names of your files and application you
[04:29] <trustytahr> want to run which shouldn't be sent to those search providers. Disable dash online search if you don't want your searches recorded forever by third parties.
[04:30] <Jordan_U> spearson: Don't reboot. Run "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" .
[04:30] <spearson> ok
[04:31] <spearson> done and went to a new black screen with grub> at the top
[04:32] <randypfau> i installed ubuntu onto a hard drive with 2 partitions... a swap and an ext4... is there anyway at this point that i can create another partion on my main ext4 partition without harming the file system?
[04:32] <NeoGeo64> Hello everyone
[04:33] <Jordan_U> spearson: "ls /boot/" and tell me if there is at least one vmlinuz-* file listed.
[04:33] <NeoGeo64> how do i enable a start menu type of launcher button that ubuntu used to have
[04:33] <NeoGeo64> also, is it better to run linux off a USB drive instead of the install cd in live mode? how fast is a USB drive compared to the HDD in terms of fastness
[04:34] <spearson> @Jordan error: file /boot/" not found
[04:34] <trustytahr> So basically you guys should disable Dash online search.
[04:34] <Jordan_U> NeoGeo64: Use GNOME flashback, XFCE, LXDE, or any other DE with a more "traditional" catagory and menu based launcher.
[04:34] <xWolfz> Is there any good beginner books on Ubuntu 14.04 or is it too new of an OS version for publications?
[04:35] <trustytahr> xWolfz, try reading a book on *nix
[04:35] <xangua> !manual | xWolfz
[04:35] <Jordan_U> trustytahr: This channel isn't really for unsolicited advice unrelated to questions people are asking. Please keep such discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic or other venues.
[04:35] <xWolfz> Thank you guys!
[04:35] <xWolfz> I'll get started on the ubuntu manual.
[04:35] <rc10> NeoGeo64, in terms of "fastness" from fast to slow, HDD>USB>CD/DVD
[04:36] <spearson> @jordan error: file /boot/" not found
[04:37] <NeoGeo64> if i have a 8GB usb stick, how much should i dedicate to persitant user data for 14.04LTS?
[04:37] <NeoGeo64> and is 8GB large enough?
[04:37] <spearson> #jordan_U I get error: file /boot/" not found
[04:39] <rc10> NeoGeo64, 8gb usb is just fine, are you looking to play around with ubuntu or...
[04:40] <Y4kuzi> We should all call our sons "Ben Dover" or "Justin Thyme", and our daughters "Anita Mann" or "Mona Loud" or something like that. Yeah, let's make babies now, in this crazy messed up world of ours...7
[04:40] <Jordan_U> spearson: Ok. Please boot from a LiveCD/USB, run boot info script, and pastebin the RESULTS.txt.
[04:40] <Y4kuzi> ?
[04:43] <NeoGeo64> rc10 I am looking to play around with it and get used to it before I install it onto my HDD.
[04:44] <NeoGeo64> I'm just wondering how much persistant user data space I should dedicate on the 8GB drive
[04:44] <spearson> #jordan I do that from terminal right when booted from the liveCD/USB
[04:44] <spearson> #jordan_U I do that from terminal right when booted from the liveCD/USB
[04:45] <Jordan_U> spearson: Correct. Follow the instructions ubottu linked to.
[04:45] <Ccslover> Thank thou everyone, I have it fixed now
[04:45] <rc10> NeoGeo64, just devote what you have left so you have room to play
[04:47] <Ccslover> Iti had to put eth0 beck up because it wasn't even showing. After that was up I configured a few other things and internet then would lan connect.  I reinstalled the missing packages and now an back on wireless thank you so much

[05:26] <netyire> spearson: the default settings are the ones used in recommended repair, changing them may worsen your problem -- do not change them unless you've first tried recommended repair, and change them only after creating a bootinfo summary others can examine to better advise you
[05:28] <k3> hello
[05:28] <k3> there
[05:28] <n13z> morning
[05:28] <k3> i need help
[05:28] <spearson> #netyire so you recommend that I do the recommend repair right or should I create the bootinfo summary
[05:29] <spearson> I'm on the window that says recommeded repair and boot info summary below it
[05:29] <netyire> spearson: I personally recommend all users first try automatic repair, it has been configured to resolve most problem cases

[05:45] <bazhang> xWolfz, ask in ##hardware
[05:45] <xWolfz> :D ty
[05:46] <n13z> Also, take a look at memmory stats.  In that case install preload and swappiness using the software center or apt-get.

[06:00] <xWolfz> rc10, always good help from you :O +1
[06:01] <xWolfz> This is a nice site
[06:01] <sddhrthrt> hey guys
[06:02] <k3> can you please solve my problem
[06:02] <bekks> k3: Which problem?
[06:02] <sddhrthrt> I am trying to mount a couple of  ext4 partitions using fstab. The entries look like this: http://pastebin.com/bEZMd7xJ.
[06:02] <sddhrthrt> but the disks are mounted readonly. what should I do?
[06:02] <k3> my ubuntu running slow...
[06:03] <sddhrthrt> I did chmod 777 <mountpoints>, but the permissions are changing (weird!) when a disk is mounted.
[06:07] <k3> is there any one who can help me to solve my problem?
[06:07] <bazhang> try lubuntu k3
[06:07] <bazhang> !lubuntu | k3
[06:08] <k3> is there any problem with my configuration to run ubuntu??
[06:08] <bazhang> k3, you have given us zero details
[06:08] <rc10> k3 i switched to xubuntu with an intel atom processor, hp mini, 2 gb ram, and it is usable vs gnome
[06:09] <k3> wati i am giving you detail
[06:09] <bazhang> k3 "ubuntu slow" is not helpful
[06:09] <k3> my processor : Intel® Pentium(R) CPU G620 @ 2.60GHz × 2
[06:09] <k3> ram : 2 gb
[06:09] <bekks> sddhrthrt: thats expected. Because the permissions of the mountpoint (the directory, when it is empty) are not the permissions of the filesystem when you mount it.
[06:09] <k3> disk available : 108 gb
[06:09] <bazhang> k3, try another DE such as lubuntu
[06:10] <k3> when i open any program i becomes slow...
[06:10] <k3> i can not use regular ubuntu session i have to use ubuntu 2d session but it also run slow...
[06:11] <bekks> k3: Then use lubuntu as your DE.
[06:11] <rww> k3: i don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but you might want to try lubuntu
[06:12] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install lubuntu k3
[06:12] <rc10> k3 open terminal, run "sudo apt-get xbuntu-desktop"      ... or install lubuntu or other lightweight... logoff and change sessions
[06:12] <bazhang> err lubuntu-desktop
[06:12] <bazhang> !info lubuntu-desktop | k3
[06:12] <rc10> install
[06:12] <rww> !lubuntu
[06:12] <rc10> whatever i'm tired... missing words
[06:13] <k3> i just want to know that is my pc can not handle regular ubuntu ..?
[06:13] <k3> what is the problem with unity?
[06:13] <bazhang> k3 you are not giving any errors, or details beyond the very minimum.
[06:14] <rc10> k3 im gonna be a betting man and guess yes... your pc is slow for regular ubuntu. have you thought about lubuntu?
[06:14] <bazhang> k3 we *know* your system specs, no need to repeat them for a 3rd time
[06:14] <rww> did k3 mention what graphics card they're using at all
[06:14] <bazhang> rww no
[06:15] <k3> no..
[06:15] <rww> lol.
[06:15] <k3> how can i know which graphics card my pc have?
[06:16] <bazhang> lspci to pastebin k3
[06:16] <bazhang> !paste | k3
[06:17] <rc10> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-tell-which-graphics-vga-card-installed/
[06:18] <k3> lspci output -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7335214/
[06:22] <rc10> intel integrated graphics... eating into the meager 2gb ram you have
[06:22] <rc10> k3... use lubuntu or xubunti
[06:22] <k3> this is the only solution that i have to use lubuntu or xubuntu?
[06:23] <tracyone> hi,各位，我装了Longene qq还需要装wine么？
[06:23] <tracyone> 发错~
[06:23] <bazhang> tracyone, #ubuntu-cn for chinese
[06:24] <bazhang> k3 did you try anything yet?
[06:25] <bazhang> k3 , like installing lubuntu-desktop ?
[06:25] <k3> installing lubuntu will solve my problem?
[06:25] <rc10> it also cures cancer
[06:25] <rc10> so yes
[06:25] <bazhang> k3 you need to *try*
[06:25] <bazhang> rc10, thats not helpful
[06:25] <SunilJoshi> any body used e4rat with ubuntu14.04?
[06:26] <k3> yes....ok...np i am installing..
[06:26] <bekks> SunilJoshi: How about asking your actual question?
[06:26] <rc10> k3,  unity was unusable with my specs, switched to xubuntu and its more than acceptable
[06:27] <k3> what is difference between xubuntu and xubuntu-desktop ?
[06:27] <k3> xfce and xubuntu-desktop?
[06:28] <gnu-guest> Hi Team,  I am using Ubuntu LTS 14.04 in my dell inspiron i3 laptop. Every apps is working fine but suddenly xorg hangs in which mouse pointer gets disappear and also when I press alt + tab keys I can see switcher but able to switch apps. To resolve this issue I need to lock my system by flapping down my laptop.
[06:28] <gnu-guest> Pleas suggest me any solution
[06:29] <daixtr> hi, can we install ubuntu 14.04 to usb drive?
[06:31] <SunilJoshi> bekks: ok sure!
[06:32] <SunilJoshi> I have tried running e4rat on fresh installed Xubuntu14.04, but i was not able to run it on a single user mode...
[06:32] <Logan_> daixtr: yup! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[06:34] <blasda> hi guys, I'm having troubles setting my language-switching hotkey to alt+shift. I found the issue, and tried the temporary solution ("modifier-only-input-switch" ppa), however when I do update and then upgrade, no new software is installed. What am I missing here?
[06:35] <Beldar> blasda, You have to install the app
[06:35] <blasda> Beldar - ok. what app?
[06:36] <Beldar> blasda, What ever is in that ppa that you wanted, by the ppa's are not supported here.
[06:36] <gnu-guest> Hi, I am using Ubuntu LTS 14.04 in my dell laptop. Every apps is working fine but suddenly xorg hangs in which mouse pointer gets disappear and also when I press alt + tab keys I can't see switcher but able to switch apps. To resolve this issue I need to lock my system by flapping down my laptop screen.
[06:37] <blasda> Beldar - i thought that ppa was an offical support for ubuntu.. and btw, that ppa doesn't seem to provide new software but only updates, It contain 3 packages, compiz, unity, and gnome-settings-daemon. I have them all (tried install anyway, but it says I have the newest).
[06:37] <bekks> blasda: PPA arent official.
[06:37] <blasda> and well if PPA aren't supported, what is ubuntu official respond about the hotkey switching issue? just a long bug with no fix for now?
[06:38] <gnu-guest> Or else please guide me to right channel
[06:38] <bekks> blasda: Do you have a bug report for that?
[06:38] <langhunm> hello
[06:38] <blasda> bekks - this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1218322
[06:39] <bekks> blasda: Bug fixing is in progress, as you can see already :)
[06:39] <blasda> bekks - to be honest I am not too familiar with the bug tracking, so not 100% sure what I am seeing there :P I did see the first comment giving me a PPA as a temporary fix, which I thought was official .. :S
[06:41] <blasda> bekks - so to summarize, I just have to wait for the official fix, that PPA is not supported?
[06:41] <bekks> blasda: you can use PPA on your own risk.
[06:41] <blasda> bekks - I tried, it just doesn't do anything :P
[06:43] <blasda> well thanks anyway. one more question though, since i'm already here:
[06:43] <bekks> blasda: HOw did you "try"?
[06:44] <blasda> Every time I do switch my language (currently with other hotkeys, of course), the language indicator seems to take "a lot" (1 or 2 seconds) of time to realize the change, and show it. Anyone else experiencing it or is it something on my system?
[06:44] <blasda> bekks - well, what it says in the ppa/the bug. apt-add-repository, update, then upgrade. Upgrade didn't install anything thought, said there was nothing new. Tried logging out and in too (although I had no idea why I did that, didn't install anything).
[06:46] <bekks> blasda: Well, did you check package versions currently installed vs the versions provided by the PPA?
[06:47] <blasda> bekks - no, but let me check. minute ^^
[06:49] <blasda> bekks - well versions seems to match. I guess I did update it before, and the fix just doesn't work for me :\
[06:50] <bekks> blasda: If the versions match - the packages are installed.
[06:50] <blasda> bekks - yup. oh well :\ what about the language indicator btw, you're experiencing it too?
[06:51] <bekks> blasda: No, I am not using it, all my systems are set to english.
[06:51] <langhunm> hello
[06:52] <blasda> bekks - oh well. thanks for helping btw, hopefully an official fix will come out :) thanks, and have a good day ^^
[07:01] <helmut_> hi
[07:09] <mod> hi all. i'm trying to disable E_DEPRECATED errros from apache2 php, and /etc/php5/apache2/php.init already has error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
[07:09] <mod> but deprecated errors still show
[07:09] <bekks> mod: Did you restart Apache2?
[07:09] <mod> yep
[07:09] <mod> it was set that way before hand, anyhow
[07:11] <silv3r_m00n> hi
[07:11] <silv3r_m00n> after a fresh install of ubuntu, i am not able to write to other ext partitions, how do i make them writable ?
[07:12] <mod> "other"? something you're mounting after the fact?
[07:13] <silv3r_m00n> mod : fact ? there are 3 ext4 partitions, on first ubuntu installed, the 2nd and 3rd are for backups, i can read them from nautilus, but trying to write to them says permission denied
[07:13] <mod> what are the permission of the mnt points
[07:14] <dw1> how do I change or disable the Ubuntu welcome message on connection to server?  It comes before /etc/motd ..
[07:16] <dw1> found something nm
[07:16] <dw1> its in /etc/update-motd.d/ :)
[07:18] <Pink14> helloooo
[07:24] <Yelu> dw1, by default, simply adding .hushlogin to your user home directory removes login messages for that user.  (i. e. "cd ~" and "touch ".hushlogin")
[07:24] <dw1> Yelu: cool tip
[07:26] <dw1> Yelu: but i put exit at the top of 10-help-text and | head -n 4 after landscape-sysinfo in 50... in /etc/update-motd.d to make it more tolerable.. now will likely consider something more entertaining or informative
[07:27] <Yelu> dw1, and what does it show after the creation of .hushlogin?
[07:28] <daedeloth> anything related to autocomplete is still mightly slow in 14.04, can I change a setting somewhere to fix this?
[07:28] <dw1> Yelu: nothing, like you said :)
[07:28] <dw1> Yelu: quick and easy
[07:28] <Yelu> dw1, dead end :D
[07:29] <dw1> Yelu: think im going to put in a fortune. :)
[07:29] <Yelu> dw1, wnted to suggest you to put that stuff to show into another place, yeah.
[07:30] <Yelu> ^wanted
[07:31] <dw1> Yelu: maybe fortunes + http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowsay lols
[07:31] <Yelu> dw1, great!
[07:34] <llutz> !permissions  | silv3r_m00n you need to adjust ownership/permissions for ext-fs
[07:35] <Kartagis> hi
[07:36] <Kartagis> how do I force i915 driver to be used?
[07:37] <Thete> I don't get this
[07:37] <Thete> https://plus.google.com/+MarkShuttleworthCanonical/posts/j8L5kLdTtcH
[07:37] <Thete> so why is 5.6 not there by default?
[07:40] <bekks> Thete: 5.6 is there.
[07:40] <silv3r_m00n> hi
[07:40] <Thete> Yeah I tried installing that earlier and it borked
[07:40] <trijntje> Thete: from that page you linked: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/mysql-server-5.6
[07:41] <Thete> that and there's no php5-mysql module for 5.6
[07:41] <silv3r_m00n> i notice that usb drives are being mounted in /media/<username>/<uuid> directory  did this start happening since 14.04 ? i guess earlier it was /media/<uuid> for usb drives ?
[07:41] <rww> Indeed, the MySQL MRE is for mysql-server, not PHP modules.
[07:42] <rww> (and the MRE is what sabdfl was talking about, he just covered it in too much marketing lingo for that to be evident)
[07:42] <rww> !mre
[07:43] <Kartagis> how do I force i915 driver to be used?
[07:44] <Thete> damn
[07:44] <Thete> I was hoping I didn't have to build it
[07:46] <majod> do you think i should reformat my secondary drive to ext4 after migrating from windows?
[07:47] <shahan> you know how you right click and permissions tick allow file as executable?
[07:47] <shahan> how do you do the from the terminal?
[07:47] <shahan> not chmod a+x
[07:48] <majod> shahan: chmod +x
[07:51] <shahan> thanks majod
[07:53] <cui> hell
[08:06] <littlebit> hi people, I wanted to know how to mount a remote cifs share, copy some files from my laptop to that cifs share and disconnect. All this should be done via terminal
[08:06] <littlebit> Now I was able to connect via smbclient but how do I copy my files to that share??
[08:16] <littlebit> anyone
[08:17] <cfhowlett> !samba
[08:22] <fa7ad> Dunno the right channel to ask. So im asking here.  I have the my sql username and password of a test site( on another pc). But say i dunno the cpanel and wordpress password. Can i still deface the site. Even worse can i steal the admin info?
[08:22] <cfhowlett> fa7ad I think there's a mysql channel ...
[08:23] <onca> aweee, my sides ache
[08:23] <onca> from laughing
[08:23] <cfhowlett> onca ask your ubuntu support questions here.
[08:23] <fa7ad> onca: was that meant for me?
[08:23] <onca> kinda
[08:23] <gartral> hey all, got a question or 2 here that I can't seem to answer with a google... first off, I'm in an ext4 partitioned drive and there's a pdf i'm trying to download that the system is insisting has a file name that's "Too long" how can I fix this?
[08:23] <onca> I think I resolved my problem already
[08:24] <gartral>
[08:24] <cfhowlett> gartral "save as" and rename it.
[08:24] <gartral> second.. after installing with full disk encryption, how do I change that password?
[08:24] <gartral> cfhowlett: it's on an external drive
[08:25] <gartral> and I can't rename it because the system complains the orgin file's name i too long..
[08:25] <cfhowlett> gartral I've no experience with external drive issues
[08:25] <rww> cryptsetup luksChangeKey devicehamehere
[08:25] <gartral> rww: that's easy enough! thanks!
[08:25] <rww> not sure which device it wants, maybe be /dev/mapper/somethingorother
[08:26] <cfhowlett> gartral never seen that error before.  try rebooting to a live session and saving to the cloud
[08:26] <rww> if you're using LVM, it's probably the LVM device
[08:26] <cfhowlett> or email it to yourself
[08:26] <Yelu> gartral, try to copy to a file with shorter name
[08:26] <rww> (erm, ignore that last message)
[08:27] <raptor> Is Ubuntu gnome faster than Ubuntu unity ??
[08:27] <Dreadlish> it shouldn't be even.
[08:28] <dawnk> I'm not able to lockscreen in lubuntu
[08:28] <Yelu> the gnome wins
[08:28] <cfhowlett> raptor I'd guess not - gnome and unity are both resource-hungry
[08:29] <raptor> So Ur saying its only a matter of choice since both of them are almost the same
[08:30] <cfhowlett> raptor if speed is your need, consider lxde (lubuntu) or xfce (xubuntu).  It's quite easy to install either/both and test for yourself.
[08:30] <fa7ad> Hey mint's cinnamon is quite good too
[08:31] <cfhowlett> fa7ad ... though unsupported here.  :)
[08:31] <fa7ad> Its not as resource hungry but looks good too
[08:31] <Yelu> fa7ad, I agree absolutely
[08:31] <fa7ad> But we could always install cinnamon de on ubuntu
[08:31] <Yelu> :)
[08:31] <fa7ad> Dont need mint for that
[08:32] <Yelu> gartral, you are okay with your long file name?
[08:33] <raptor> I Kinda like the notifications in gnome :3
[08:33] <gartral> Yelu: not yet, there's a few files that need moved manually, I'm restoring a backup of /home from before a wipe..
[08:34] <Yelu> gartral, ok
[08:34] <cfhowlett> gartral now that I consider, I HAVE encountered a similar file access issue but that was due to language issues.  Files from my chinese colleagues frequently have chinese characters and my system is 100% american english.  I've renamed those files and suddenly; access granted.
[08:35] <gartral> Yelu: working on my mother's netbook that started on Ubuntu 10.04 and has been going through OS ugrades since, I've just wiped and reinstalled
[08:35] <gartral> and she has a LOT of crap
[08:36] <Yelu> gartral, I know, man ... I know (got a mother, too) ;.)
[08:38] <administrator> Hello
[08:41] <Yelu> cfhowlett, this file renaming issue of yours is interesting - have you some technical background information how this works (renaming => gain access)?
[08:42] <cfhowlett> Yelu tech background?  no.  I just know it usually works.  I can Download and save any .pdf, but trying to open it causes both reader and evince to choke.  renaming solves that.  Side note: I can SEE the file with my file browser.
[08:42] <gartral> i wish cp gave an indication of how far along it is.. i want a beer
[08:45] <phuh_> iptables question --> How should I interpret the line 70 in http://pastebin.com/mFqhF1kT ? ("-A DOCKER ! -i docker0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination <IP_ADDRESS>:8080" in *nat) With it, external host cannot access port 8080 for some reason, but after removing this entry from iptables, it works as expected..
[08:45] <Yelu> cfhowlett, and the file permissions did change while renaming (because you wrote "access granted") - Maybe I misunderstood the term and you just meant "could open the file"?
[08:46] <cfhowlett> Yelu yes.  sorry for using confusing terminology.
[08:46] <cfhowlett> Yelu as in "now I can open the file!"
[08:46] <gartral> phuh_: i'm not sure how to *fix* that, but it looks like your passing the request to the server and then denying a reply
[08:46] <Yelu> cfhowlett, no, my bad - I'm not a native speaker (english)
[08:47] <cfhowlett> Yelu putonghua??
[08:48] <Yelu> cfhowlett, not quite (german)
[08:48] <cfhowlett> Yelu doh!  ok then.
[08:49] <Yelu> cfhowlett, lol
[08:50]  * gartral bangs head into wall waiting
[08:51] <cfhowlett> gartral beer is a better solution than headbanging ... just sayin.
[08:52] <Yelu> gartral, don't copy drunk ...
[08:54] <onca> The automatic system updater crashed so naturally I ran 'sudo dpkg --configure -a --resume' and it crashed at making an initrd - here's the out put http://paste.ubuntu.com/7335767/ please halp
[08:54] <onca> will my system never reboot?
[08:55] <onca> yawns
[08:57] <cfhowlett> onca I'd try killing the apt-lock and running update & dist-upgrade
[08:59] <onca> cfhowlett: that updated nothing
[08:59] <onca> worth a try though
[08:59] <cfhowlett> onca not even dist-upgrade?
[08:59] <onca> nope
[08:59]  * cfhowlett swings and misses
[09:00] <onca> I'm afraid it will never boot again
[09:01] <cfhowlett> onca should be able to reboot to an older kernel if nothing else
[09:01] <onca> good to know
[09:01] <onca> thank ye..
[09:03]  * Yelu tries the /ME command
[09:04] <gartral> Yelu: ok, fixed the files.. just turncated the names a bit
[09:05] <Yelu> gartral, case closed, congrats :)
[09:06] <gartral> now, perhaps someone can answer me this.. why is it that with this machine, the internal speakers SUCKED in ubuntu 10.04-12.10 and in 13.10 they sound amazing?
[09:07] <cfhowlett> gartral gremlins.  linux powered gremlins.
[09:07] <Yelu> cfhowlett, that's it!
[09:09] <gartral> Yelu: so, here's a brain twister, my mom wanted her netbook to be "More secure" so I reinstalled with not only full disk encryption but also home partition encryption, now she's complaining that she doesn't like havinig a password to boot her comp x.x
[09:09] <gartral> is there any winning this?! lol
[09:09]  * Yelu getting headaches with thinking ...
[09:10] <gartral> Yelu: 8 beers into the night and I'm still confused
[09:12] <markveidemanis> Hi
[09:12] <onca> hello
[09:12] <onca> please state the nature of the ubuntu emergency
[09:13] <gartral> cfhowlett: but don't gremlins usually *BREAK* things? as in magways?
[09:13] <Yelu> gartral, 8 beers is clarity - but seriously, to be honest, a door is either open or not - so havong a password is always a good idea to unlock encrypted partitions or home folders, isn't it?
[09:14] <cfhowlett> gartral certified *buntu gremlins are housebroken and well behaved - unless there's a kernel upgrade.  then  they CAN get rambunctious.  threats to downgrade usually correct this tendency.
[09:15] <Yelu> GNU/Linux (and especially ubuntu) is selfhealing its damaged kernels with Nanitoids ...
[09:15] <Yelu> Htey are built in.
[09:15] <Yelu> ^They
[09:16] <Yelu> The Gremlins only control the Nanitoids.
[09:17] <gartral> cfhowlett: actually, that's exactly WHY i went through this headache, her computer had lost all sound, after a kernel upgrade.. and I tryied regressing to an older kernel, no go, so here we are
[09:17] <cfhowlett> gartral you said older netbook?  I bet it find a meal of lubuntu or xubuntu more palatable.
[09:18] <gartral> cfhowlett: nah, it seems too like Unity just fine, and she likes it *shudder*
[09:18] <gartral> cfhowlett: so I'll leave it as is
[09:18] <cfhowlett> gartral you're a good son.  give moms what she wants.
[09:19] <luca> &server irc.darksin.net
[09:19] <cfhowlett> luca stop that
[09:20] <gartral> cfhowlett: heh, I reserected a 14 year old Dell GX150 with Arch because *buntu kernels don't boot on it, that system is currently servicing as a word prcessor and music server
[09:20] <cfhowlett> gartral color me impressed!
[09:20] <gartral> (yes, I'm mantaining2 distributions for her)
[09:22] <cer> how dp you open a file manager as root?
[09:23] <cfhowlett> cer why would you want to do that?
[09:23] <cer> because it is a farily complicated machine, but my wife prefers to use GUI instead of command line
[09:23] <cer> cfhowlett:
[09:24] <cfhowlett> cer depends on the file type.  for editing a text: sudo gedit (or your favorite editor) filename
[09:24] <stemid> sudo nautilus
[09:24] <cfhowlett> stemid nope.  gksudo nautilus
[09:24] <gartral> stemid: NEVER sudo nautilus
[09:25] <cfhowlett> !root|cer
[09:26] <stemid> gartral: why not?
[09:27] <Yelu> cer, out of pure curiosity - what is your wife doing that needs root access on that machine?
[09:31] <td0s> Hi, has anyone run 14.04 on a dell xps13 - its the developer Ed which ships with 12.04
[09:31] <cfhowlett> td0s there's a whole thread on the dell channels with this topic
[09:32] <td0s> #dell?
[09:32] <td0s> Or ubuntu_dell?
[09:32] <cfhowlett> td0s no there's this thing called "forums" ... wait 1
[09:33] <td0s> Ha thanks
[09:33] <s> yummy
[09:33] <Yelu> td0s, take a look here => http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/linux/building-base-ubuntu-factory-iso.aspx
[09:33] <Guest4009> hello
[09:34] <Guest4009> anyone?
[09:34] <cfhowlett> Guest4009 ask your ubuntu questions

[09:36] <cfhowlett> td0s barton was/is the sputnik program lead
[09:37] <cer> Yelu: move files across  from a root directory to a user directory
[09:38] <td0s> Ah, I see, I'm wary about diving in as its my work laptop
[09:39] <cfhowlett> td0s comes with 12.04 - has 5 years support.  keep it.  at least until the first point-release = 14.04.1
[09:40] <Yelu> cer, ah, I see.
[09:40] <td0s> cfhowlett probably good advice. But I have version envy. :)
[09:40] <cer> Yelu: I was wrong though, I should have posted onto kubuntu, because that is the flavour we are currently usng
[09:41] <cfhowlett> td0s many a system has crashed due to user envy.  As Walter White would say "Perhaps your wisest course of action would be to tread lightly".
[09:42] <Yelu> cer, ypur wife's problem is the same on all flavours of *ubuntu, don't worry ;-)
[09:44] <td0s> I was going to go for dual boot to start then migrate if there were no issues cfhowlett
[09:45] <cfhowlett> td0s huh.  OR virtualbox until a bit of stability comes with the point release.
[09:45] <cfhowlett> td0s after all, 14.04.1 is in July so really = 3 months.
[09:45] <blaster05> hi all
[09:46] <td0s> cfhowlett not that long to wait I guess, 12.04 is solid as a rock. Absolutely no issues so far
[09:46] <cfhowlett> td0s I have questions.  OK to pm?
[09:47] <td0s> Yeah sure
[09:47] <Yelu> td0s, then keep as is and use virtualbox for the fun part
[09:47] <td0s> Hi blaster05
[09:48] <rads> does anyone have experience writing a custom usb driver?
[09:49] <vmusr> anyone familliar with xorg.conf or xrandr in the context of fglrx
[09:50] <td0s> vmusr: you probably need modelines
[09:50] <vmusr> td0s: nope, it's whole diffrent problem - i have 2 gpus and 5 monitors
[09:50] <vmusr> but can't get them to run properly
[09:51] <gartral> vmusr: good luck!
[09:51] <td0s> Out of my depth I think mate..
[09:51] <cer> Yelu: yes .... :) .... we would love to try Unity .... as soon as  a larger disk arrives, I will give it a go as well.
[09:51] <vmusr> gartral: yea, so far it has been a cruel experience
[09:52] <vmusr> god, please kill X at last and let us have something usable
[09:52] <gartral> vmusr: your best bet, if you can get them, are going to be DVI-dual link cables
[09:53] <td0s> vmusr, I think all monitor config happens in xrandr, not xorg.conf these days
[09:54] <thomson28> is there a program equivalent to AIDA64 for linux?
[09:54] <vmusr> gartral: i can buy the cables, but this won't help out with the second gpu
[09:54] <thomson28> or is there some way i can check my hardware on linux
[09:54] <vmusr> td0s: most, however I can't get xrandr to control the second gpu, the first is fine
[09:55] <td0s> What cards are they?
[09:56] <vmusr> td0s: 5770 and 5450
[09:56] <td0s> Running nvidia driver?
[09:57] <Yelu> thomson28, you surely tried this already - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=AIDA64+for+linux
[09:57] <vmusr> i got the 5450 recently, since fglrx doesn't support anything below hd5000 series, and the radeon driver always crashes X (before that I used the onboard 4250 with the 5770)
[09:58] <babyswizz> please is it advisable to learn c first b4 learning how to tinker with ubuntu???
[09:58] <ikonia> babyswizz: to be honest, if you're asking that question, your not in a position to do either
[09:59] <thomson28> Yelu, no, but thanks :-)
[09:59] <ikonia> babyswizz: ubuntu is made up of many components with many languages
[09:59] <ikonia> babyswizz: so your definition of "tinker" will define your pre-requisits
[09:59] <cfhowlett> babyswizz I "tinker" all the time and know NO programming languages.
[10:00] <nezZario> Uhhhhh
[10:00] <nezZario> How do I upgrade -one- package and it's dependencies?
[10:00] <Yelu> babyswizz, ikonia is a seriuos man, but just start with ubuntu (learning by doing)
[10:00] <nezZario> Also, how do I configure what starts with systemd?
[10:01] <ikonia> nezZario: ubuntu doesn't use systemd
[10:02] <buffalo_> Any body here
[10:02] <cfhowlett> buffalo_ sorry, only  a few thousand here today.
[10:02] <netyire> buffalo_: welcome to #ubuntu <3
[10:03] <buffalo_> any body konw combine images into pdf?
[10:03] <babyswizz> I'm actually looking to be a good ubuntu system administrator and I learnt the entire ubuntu system was based on C programming language and I don't know if to learn C first or just learn ubuntu
[10:03] <cfhowlett> buffalo_ picture images?
[10:03] <nezZario> then why do I have a systemd process running and conf files for systemd, and apt is trying to upgrade a pkg called systemd-services and systemd-shim ?
[10:03] <buffalo_> Yes
[10:03] <ikonia> babyswizz: you're learning is wrong as it's not all based on C
[10:03] <nezZario> I'm nto calling you wrong but it seems as if
[10:03] <buffalo_> combine some images to a pdf file
[10:03] <cfhowlett> buffalo_ see the software center yet?  Lots of options
[10:03] <vmusr> babyswizz: administratorion has nothing to do with programming
[10:04] <ikonia> babyswizz: to administrate the system you don't really need to know any programming languages
[10:04] <ikonia> babyswizz: I suggest you do some more research into requirements
[10:04] <nezZario> babyswizz: you should learn them side by side, that's like saying should you learn bass or treble piano first, kind of
[10:04] <vmusr> babyswizz: and if you are looking into being a linux administrator, pick a better distro
[10:04] <ikonia> vmusr: there is nothing wrong with ubuntu for learning system administration on
[10:04] <nezZario> you don't really *need* to know C to be a sysadmin though
[10:05] <nezZario> or sorry, you aren't *required*, you *need* to and you should ... C is sort of irrelevant
[10:05] <cfhowlett> babyswizz for  sysadmin learning, install ubuntu-server and learn the CLI fu!
[10:05] <vmusr> ikonia: i was speaking from professional point of view
[10:05] <ikonia> vmusr: so was I
[10:05] <nezZario> ALSO
[10:05] <cfhowlett> buffalo_ https://harikrish.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/ubuntu-linux-command-line-tool-to-convert-pdf-to-image-and-from-image-to-pdf/
[10:05] <nezZario> I have one more bone to pick
[10:06] <vmusr> ikonia: then you know that most enterprise stuff is run on RHEL or SLES
[10:06] <Yelu> babyswizz, then start the admin part with ubuntu and handle the C programming stuff "behind the scenes" (you want to be an admin not a kernel developer in the first place, yes?)
[10:06] <nezZario> I have an ubuntu 13 box here, it's my gateway -- sometimes and very randomly it does not timeout on the boot screen
[10:06] <ikonia> vmusr: I certainly do, I also certainly know of large orginisations using ubuntu and debian systems
[10:06] <nezZario> So, ... I have to walk to the next room, unplug a keyboard from the box next to it, plug it in, press enter, and plug it back in
[10:07]  * cfhowlett remembers this EXACT conversation happening here 6 months ago - declines to participate in yet another theological debate.
[10:07] <nezZario> Any idea why grub would just randomly decide to get 'stuck' on the menu like that?
[10:07] <kenneth> How do I change the size of scrollsbars? (make them bigger)?
[10:07] <hms> Hello, I have Xubuntu and Unity Desktop installed. Acer Aspir1e V5-571pg. The Touchscreen works fine with Xfce and not with Unity
[10:08] <TerranceWarrior> How do I change the size of scrollsbars? (make them bigger)?
[10:08] <nezZario> I would never use ubuntu for a server, just my personal taste :P
[10:08] <Yelu> vmusr, if he babyswizz finally is a *good* ubuntu admin, he will be able to handle every linux system, no?
[10:08] <hms> Calibration file 99-calibration.conf is written
[10:08] <vmusr> Yelu: yes and no
[10:09] <vmusr> RHEL and SLES have their huge deal of specifics
[10:09] <nezZario> RHEL is a pain in the dick
[10:09] <cfhowlett> nezZario LANGUAGE!
[10:09] <ikonia> nezZario: tone it down please, there is no need to talk like tha
[10:09] <trojanfm> RHEL and Slackware are the best Distros!!
[10:09] <nezZario> But you should be able to pick up a new distro pretty easily
[10:09] <vmusr> nezZario: if we're talking about taste, I would go with SLES
[10:09] <ikonia> this isn't a distro discussion channel
[10:09] <Yelu> babyswizz, this is only all about bits and bytes in the end - no differences
[10:09] <vmusr> ikonia: point taken
[10:10] <Yelu> ikonia, you are right, sorry
[10:10] <ikonia> not a problem
[10:10] <trojanfm> okay, but I need help, which is better (u guys think) Bugtraq or Kali Linux?? with most tools
[10:10] <ikonia> trojanfm: thats nothing to do with this channel
[10:10] <cfhowlett> trojanfm neither is supported.  ask somewhere else
[10:11] <trojanfm> I know but was just asking u know?
[10:11] <nezZario> try ##linux
[10:11] <cfhowlett> trojanfm not - supported - here
[10:11] <ikonia> trojanfm: please dont ask questions that are nothing to do with this channels topic
[10:11] <nezZario> ok just pointing out, your "not supported" stuff was 3x more lines than the guy's question, ..
[10:12] <nezZario> Anyone know on the grub thing though?
[10:12] <nezZario> I've never had a bootloader do this, and I'm not particularly familiar with grub
[10:15] <TerranceWarrior> changing the scrollbar size?
[10:17] <hms> Hello, I have Xubuntu and Unity Desktop installed. Acer Aspir1e V5-571pg. The Touchscreen works fine with Xfce and not with Unity

[10:17] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[10:18] <silv3r_m00n> a post says to install libdvdread4  to play encrypted dvd, i have never come across one, but was wondering how will libdvdread4 decrypt dvds without a password ?
[10:19] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: it's breaking/cracking the encyption
[10:19] <ikonia> silv3r_m00n: there is no password
[10:19] <silv3r_m00n> so it cracks the encryption ? the encryption is so weak ?
[10:19] <ikonia> pretty much
[10:20] <silv3r_m00n> oh i see
[10:22] <nestle20> on my new ubuntu 13.10 install (new machine), ifconfig shows p6p1 instead of eth0
[10:23] <nestle20> is that just some built in nic or something
[10:24] <zetheroo1> very odd issue here - when I try to make a new directory in the Pictures folder Nautilus closes (crashes?) - Ubuntu 14.04 clean install
[10:24] <ikonia> nestle20: the udev rules have changed the naming convention of ethernet devices
[10:25] <zetheroo1> It seems to happen when I am viewing hidden files/folders
[10:25] <nestle20> thx ikonia
[10:26] <vmusr> any idea how to stop lightdm overwriting my xorg.conf?
[10:27] <hms> Hello, can someone help me with touchscreen Problems?
[10:34] <nezZario> hms: just ask, sir
[10:41] <onizo> why isn't this alias working?
[10:41] <onizo> alias ls="ls -laphF"
[10:42] <onizo> does it look wrong?
[10:42] <ikonia> onizo: swap " for '
[10:43] <onizo> still no go
[10:43] <ikonia> works fine here
[10:43] <ikonia> alias bob='ls -laphF'
[10:43] <ikonia> test it

[10:58] <poowpoo> hi, on a ubuntu 14.04 desktop workstation, what is the **official** recommended package manager ? it ship with apt, do i need to install aptitude or not ? what's the official ubuntu recommendation is my question... i switched to aptitude long time ago because it was 'better' now on a fresh install it's not installed. so waht do i have to do to ubuntu's point of view please ? :)
[10:59] <lanclin> please help me on this..
[10:59] <antonio_> I want to add a "open office" to a right click menu.  How can I do this?
[10:59] <cfhowlett> lanclin ask #vbox

[10:59] <lanclin> Thanks
[10:59] <jellow> poowpoo, apt-get has ling since caught up to aptitude , apt-get is recommended
[11:00] <cfhowlett> poowpoo you have apt so why would you need aptitude
[11:01] <Conna> halo
[11:03] <poowpoo> jellow: ok thanks
[11:03] <poowpoo> cfhowlett: becaus it was 'said' (don't blame me) better conflict resolution.
[11:04] <cfhowlett> poowpoo understood.  Advice: choose one and stick with ith.
[11:04] <cfhowlett> *it*.
[11:05] <poowpoo> cfhowlett: thanks ! :)
[11:05] <antonio_> Does anyone understand these instructions? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1456769
[11:09] <gry> antonio_, hi.
[11:10] <gry> antonio_, in /home/user/Templates/, create a file with the name you want to appear in the menu. I.e. if you want a new "Foo Bar Document", create /home/USERNAME/Templates/Foo Bar Document.myextension".
[11:10] <gry> antonio_, put your default content of choice into it. Save. Done.
[11:12] <antonio_> gry: do I need to restart for it to show up?
[11:12] <gry> I don't think you do, no.
[11:15] <MadsRC> I have an application that has a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications but I cannot find said application by searching for it in dash - Do I need to rebuild some cache or index after installing an application?

[11:25] <muk> is this the right channel to ask support question on ubuntu?
[11:26] <cfhowlett> muk yes.   ask your ubuntu questions
[11:26] <muk> cfhowlett -- i used to be able to run an isc-dhcp server, but recently it isn't working properly anymore
[11:27] <muk> cfhowlett -- i took the server offline and am directly connected to my router at the moment

[11:33] <ssfdre38> so what is the new format for apache2 vhost
[11:33] <Humbedooh> afaict, it's the same, but with files being called *.conf instead of just *
[11:34] <ssfdre38> not for me its different now and not allowing my vhost to work and reverting back to 000-default.conf
[11:34] <Humbedooh> 2.4 is fully backwards compatible with 2.2 in terms of directives and syntax (provied you have mod_auth_compat loaded), so you needn't do much
[11:35] <Humbedooh> what are you calling your configuration files?
[11:35] <Humbedooh> they need to end with .conf now, in Ubuntu
[11:35] <Humbedooh> so, 'foo' won't work, but 'foo.conf' will
[11:35] <ssfdre38> they are set up as that
[11:35] <isimic> #irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-hr
[11:35] <Humbedooh> ssfdre38: and they're in sites-enabled?
[11:36] <Humbedooh> ssfdre38: what does apachectl -S tell you?
[11:36] <ssfdre38> yes
[11:37] <ssfdre38> http://pastebin.com/Mpp6HQHV
[11:39] <Humbedooh> ssfdre38: you seem to have two virtualhosts with the same servername
[11:39] <payload> hi. i just upgraded to 14.04 from 13.10. i have a problem with starting a session after login. loging into my user "payload" either gnome3 or unity starts the desktop but the root window lays itself on top of everything. maybe window decoration disappears. weirdly, guest user with gnome-desktop works fine.
[11:40] <payload> how can i debug and fix this? i think of creating a new user from scratch, maybe it works like the guest user works
[11:40] <payload> also i should verify that my window decorater crashes, cause decoration disappears, i think
[11:41] <ssfdre38> in the file its not and my overall server name is ssfdre38.net
[11:41] <payload> can i run a separate X and login stuff so I don't leave this chat and firefox?

[12:46] <Goof_FR> I've updated my server to 14.04. And now my network card isn't working. It's not listed in ifconfig and I can't start eth0. Anyway it's listed when i run "lspci".
[12:46] <netyire> :-) sevauk42
[12:46] <bekks> Goof_FR: Do you see it in "sudo ifconfig -a"?
[12:47] <Goof_FR> Only "em1" "em2" and "lo"
[12:49] <michael_> network list
[12:50] <llutz> Goof_FR: those "emX" are your former ethX devices,
[12:50] <Goof_FR> ok
[12:50] <Kenbo> Is there a good (easy to use)DLNA client for Linux?
[12:52] <loa> hello
[12:52] <loa> how good is support of gamepad in wine today?
[12:52] <loa> maybe it is little offtopic but i use ubuntu with wine and can't join to #wine
[12:52] <loa> there is invite onlye channel.
[12:53] <llutz> Goof_FR: that is called "Consistent Network Device Naming", embedded devices are named "emX" now, PCI-Devices "p<slot>p<ethernet-port>" etc
[12:53] <netyire> Guest54916: you can try booting the ubuntu livecd and installing boot-repair (help.ubuntu.com/community/boot-repair) ; sidenote: this has been asked frequently enough to be an auto-reply, perhaps?
[12:54] <netyire> Guest54916: sorry for the late reply :-)
[12:54] <llutz> Goof_FR: if you prefer the old name-scheme, use "biosdevname=0" as bootoption
[12:54] <netyire> loa: take a look at appdb.winehq.com
[12:55] <Goof_FR> i'll try to make it the "new way" it's more in the way of history
[12:56] <lihuizhan> hello
[12:56] <Goof_FR> Thanks. i've got my network up
[12:57] <Goof_FR> i'm missing routes but i will make it right from now
[12:58] <netyire> llutz: I find this interesting, why were the device names changed?

[13:00] <JediMaster> hi all, in 14.04 samba appears to ignore the "guest only = yes" and "guest ok = yes" paramaters, it's never asked for logins until the 14.04 upgrade, any ideas how to re-enable guest logins?
[13:00] <netyire> llutz: thank you :-D also, I will look into this
[13:00] <llutz> netyire: short info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_Network_Device_Naming
[13:02] <llutz> netyire: to prevent the actual situation, if you change the nic/mainboard, udev takes the new MAC and creates a new ethX. with new scheme it's will still be emX
[13:03] <dujin> Is there a Chinese chat?

[13:03] <netyire> llutz: this is brilliant <3
[13:04] <dujin> ok
[13:05] <quem> is ubuntu gnome supposed to lack unity's lack of social integration?
[13:06] <quem> installed ubuntu gnome on my wife's laptop as a compromise between lubuntu/xubuntu and the regular flavour. but the social integration is rather lackluster. :)
[13:09] <Goof_FR> i've changed all my eth0 to em1 in /etc/network/.... and it work fine after a reboot.
[13:10] <llutz> Goof_FR: it's supposed to work :)
[13:10] <dujin> i install a bpython ,but it cannot work,what should ido
[13:11] <gry> look for error messages
[13:11] <dujin> just show a second ,then exit
[13:12] <raalex> what is a social integration of an operating system
[13:12] <raalex> and what is it good for?
[13:12] <dujin> should i open it in terminal
[13:12] <Goof_FR> i know that it should work. but "should" is optimistic. "Working" is realistic
[13:12] <guest-nzDTpV> Need Help With a Simple  Problem::::  If anyone is up for it?
[13:12] <llutz> raalex: booting straight into facebook/twitter? ;)
[13:13] <raalex> sounds like the biggest nightmare

[13:14] <wbk> hi guys
[13:14] <netyire> hello wbk, welcome to #ubuntu
[13:14] <wbk> can ou tell me why ubuntu doesn't include mp3 codec?
[13:14] <llutz> wbk: legal reasons
[13:14] <shirox> I deleted a directory Desktop/asdf while I was in it. I executed the binary Desktop/asdf/test.bin and it executed.. what's going on?
[13:14] <mmoh396> hi
[13:15] <wbk> llutz, I know, more specifically?
[13:15] <cfhowlett> wbk sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:15] <spearson> When I try to update CUPS, it always fails. should I be concerned about this?
[13:15] <spearson> running v13.10
[13:15] <wbk> i know how to install
[13:15] <nezZario> I asked this earlier, i'll give it another shot
[13:15] <guest-nzDTpV> OK: A Challenge: As a Simple Problem...................... I Forgot my Password for Login......................I cannot access my entire Hard Drive.......How to access?
[13:15] <cfhowlett> wbk just told you = restricted extras
[13:15] <spearson> ? so does this mean I don't need it
[13:16] <nezZario> For some reaosn, grub occasionally gets 'stuck' on the boot screen -- and by stuck I mean it requires a keypress to boot.. Any ideas?
[13:16] <mmoh396> is there an application for watching tv in ubuntu 13.10
[13:16] <cfhowlett> !password|guest-nzDTpV
[13:16] <Goof_FR> as i said "IT is an exact science with some approximation" (in french "l'informatique est une science exacte avec quelques a peut prés")
[13:17] <mmoh396> is there an application for watching tv in ubuntu 13.10 ?
[13:17] <cfhowlett> !patience|mmoh396
[13:17] <guest-nzDTpV> I dont know the root password I forgot it
[13:17] <nezZario> It's seemingly random, it might be tied to something -- but I can't tell.. It almost seems like if I shutdown -h now and then boot back up it always gets stuck, but maybe only sometimes if i 'reboot' or have powerloss?
[13:17] <cfhowlett> guest-nzDTpV understood.  read the link.  "Forgot your password?"
[13:17] <spearson> When i try to update my system it says there CUPS updates but it fails on cups-client and cups
[13:17] <nezZario> It's really frustrating if anyone has any ideas
[13:18] <cfhowlett> spearson error messages?
[13:18] <llutz> wbk: if they would ship mp3-codecs, the would have to pay license-fees (depending on national laws). so they don't ship it.
[13:18] <spearson> and then I get a window saying failed to download package files check your internet connect
[13:18] <spearson> connection*
[13:18] <wbk>  if mp3 codec is not legal, it will be not allowed to insall even with resricted extras
[13:18] <spearson> I'm connected to the internet as I'm chatting now
[13:19] <cfhowlett> spearson could be that a download mirror is unavailable.  give it time
[13:19] <spearson> do I need the cups updates or not? trying to update to upgade to v14.04
[13:19] <spearson> ok
[13:19] <wbk> it should be forbidden in all the cases
[13:19] <spearson> can I upgrade to v14.04 without all the updates such as cups?
[13:19] <llutz> wbk: read the licenses and check the internet, lots of info on that neverending story. ianal
[13:19] <cfhowlett> spearson yes.
[13:20] <spearson> how would I go about doing that?
[13:20] <spearson> I tried the terminal command to upgrade to 14.04 and it comes up with a windows saying cups updates available and fails
[13:21] <spearson> before I used to get a message saying do you wish to update and I did remind me later as I was applying updates
[13:21] <cfhowlett> spearson as I said; wait for it.  worst case, wait for the point release in july 14.04.
[13:21] <cfhowlett> 14.04.1
[13:21] <spearson> I wanna upgrade now......
[13:21] <cfhowlett> spearson download/torrent the ISO and clean install
[13:21] <guest-nzDTpV> Read This: same Answer:> Next step.........ESC is not an Option> Shift is not an Option.............>I reboot> Dell BIOS Ao4> Only Option F2 Setup or Boot Order> Boot Order only changes drive Booot Order> F2 Setup is Dell Inc BIOS A04>NO GRUB Seen> No ESC or SHIFT PRessing Works> Already Tried> Need Around DELL BIOS or FIND a GRUB thatis not seen anywhere
[13:21] <spearson> can I just upgrade via ubuntu 13.10?
[13:22] <spearson> I really don't want to clean install
[13:22] <cfhowlett> spearson how many times will you ask ?
[13:22] <spearson> ?
[13:22] <hms> Hello, cn someone help me with Touchscreen Problem
[13:22] <cfhowlett> spearson either wait for the cups issue to resolve or get the iso
[13:22] <spearson> okay
[13:22] <Goof_FR> Thanks for all. See you at next update. ;-)
[13:22] <spearson> or I can wait for ubuntu to remind me again and grab it then
[13:22] <spearson> thanks though
[13:24] <ring3> hi i use gnome3 in my ubuntu
[13:24] <ring3> since i do a version upgrade
[13:24] <ring3> all the fonts are so big
[13:24] <ring3> and i cant change them
[13:25] <cfhowlett> !gnome|ring3
[13:25] <ring3> and I can click buttons, becouse the click position is different to button position
[13:25] <guest-nzDTpV> Either GRUB is hidden or is not a basic input/out as is DELL A04 Dell Inc........ Which is a piece of crap....and will be deleted and this computer destroyed with a hammer once i access my files.....
[13:27] <Not_liking_ubunt> hello!
[13:27] <potetoes> Hi!
[13:27] <Not_liking_ubunt> anyone had succes streaming audio to another computer?
[13:27] <guest-nzDTpV> Based on a simply problem of forgetting my password.......Cannot see Grub any Boot............ as DELL Bios.......... I'm going to destroy this computer and its OS.....based on compromising access to my files
[13:28] <cfhowlett> guest-nzDTpV get a boot USB, boot from that, navigate to your files and save them to the USB.
[13:29] <tex83> Hey all I crashed while updating to Trusty Tahr and so I'm installing it fresh. I seem to have it taking a long time at the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" "For best results, please ensure that this cmputer: Has at least 6.4 GB available drive space, isc onnected to the internet" and "download updates while installing" and "install this third-party software". I have all of these things achieved, but it seems to have hung up here. Any tho
[13:29] <cfhowlett> tex83 downloading updates takes time - how long did it "hang"
[13:29] <guest-nzDTpV> The cfhowlett Tell me how to do this------and I will get my files> and destroy this computer?
[13:29] <tex83> Ariscop about five minutes so far.   Boot said usb.  navigate to data.  save data to external storage.  done.
[13:38] <guest-nzDTpV> cfhowlett that is a very simple great idea........ Would be is different than hacker.......I have engineering background but im not great a computers yet........ Can i access all files everything, bookmarks, etc?
[13:38] <prepangolin> How to contribute compiz?
[13:38] <cfhowlett> guest-nzDTpV yes.
[13:38] <minttu> USB install of ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386 gets stuck at Ubuntu logo (that with progressbar after "Install ubuntu")
[13:39] <minttu> Could the error be in the USB stick?
[13:39] <cfhowlett> minttu did you md5sum your USB?  and yes it could easily be the USB.  check the md5sum first
[13:39] <prepangolin> I could'nt find how to compile compiz
[13:39] <jomarcoelho> hi
[13:39] <minttu> cfhowlett, md5sum the USB
[13:39] <minttu> ?
[13:39] <prepangolin> Anyone help me?
[13:39] <minttu> you mean the .iso file?
[13:39] <cfhowlett> !md5sum|minttu
[13:40] <prepangolin> Hey guys?
[13:40] <guest-nzDTpV> hmmm... better explanation than backbox Forum........ Ok just point me quickly to a clear way to do this USB boot pen drive........and which/what Ubuntu OS to do......Basically, I have data that is irriplacable.....and im going to detroy this systm and its os for potentially compromising
[13:40] <minttu> okay, the md5sum is c4d4d037d7d0a05e8f526d18aa25fb5e
[13:40] <cfhowlett> minttu right, sorry.  first check the ISO then check the prepared usb.  the instructions refer to "check the CD" but the same method works for usb
[13:40] <prepangolin> Where is my que going?
[13:40] <minttu> okay, ill take a look
[13:41] <cfhowlett> !hashes|minttu I don't need to see it ... match it against the hashes
[13:41] <minttu> hehe sorry
[13:41] <cfhowlett> guest-nzDTpV unetbootin works across all platforms so use that to prepare your boot USB
[13:42] <mmoh396> hyyyyyy......there is no answer for my question ?
[13:42] <guest-nzDTpV> i guess i have linux so i should use linux platform?
[13:42] <ruediger> Hello
[13:43] <cfhowlett> guest-nzDTpV sounds liegi
[13:43] <cfhowlett> legit
[13:44] <ruediger> It seems like the graphical update tool doesn't regularly do autoremove and thus /boot can overflow.  What's a userfriendly way to regularly run autoremove?  (I don't really want to teach the user to open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get --purge --yes autoremove")
[13:44] <minttu> cfhowlett: there's a md5sum for every file in the stick
[13:45] <minttu> which file should i check ?:D
[13:45] <guest-nzDTpV> ok...........Let me try this.....but can you think of a way to get past this seemingly simple problem of a password forgot?
[13:45] <cfhowlett> minttu check the ISO of the ubuntu ISO you need to create a USB with
[13:45] <guest-nzDTpV> it's annoying just as a problem
[13:46] <llutz> guest-nzDTpV: boot live-usb/-cd, chroot into your installation, reset password
[13:46] <minttu> cfhowlett: yes the iso file is checked, and i got the md5sum from it
[13:46] <minttu> But there's no iso file on the USB stick..
[13:46] <cfhowlett> llutz THAT is the method!  thanks.  for some reason, not on the passwrod factoic
[13:46] <guest-nzDTpV> with the command line, UNIX-like OS, hackability-------i cant even get past my own password------annoying problem in itself?
[13:46] <guest-nzDTpV> what is chroot?
[13:47] <cfhowlett> minttu nor did I direct you to the USB.  Did you download the ISO?      Check - the - downloaded - ISO.
[13:48] <minttu> okay cfhowlett, they are the same
[13:48] <guest-nzDTpV> common......GnewSense MIT---Hacker creater of GNU/Linux----Childish?  hacking i dont think so
[13:48] <minttu> the downloaded iso file and the hash from the site you linked, are the same!
[13:48] <cfhowlett> guest-nzDTpV then recovering/resetting a password should be quite easyfor you.
[13:49] <llutz> guest-nzDTpV: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-ubuntu-password-easily-from-the-live-cd/
[13:49] <guest-nzDTpV> lol stop blaming me im not a hacker.....yet
[13:49] <guest-nzDTpV> lol
[13:49] <cfhowlett> minttu good.  NOW look at the wiki for "check the CD" instructions and check your USB
[13:49] <minttu> Alrighty
[13:49] <guest-nzDTpV> ok let me shut up and read that
[13:49] <bwright> Guys is this real life: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1308572

[13:53] <minttu> cfhowlett, the problem is that im on windows here..
[13:53] <bwright> It is an ubuntu question because ubuntu forced unity on its users and was poorly coded.
[13:54] <cfhowlett> Balls that's a ppa and you need to take it up with the PPA maintainers as it's not mainstream ubuntu
[13:54] <DJones> bwright: Its been fixed, so its not an issue unless a user dooesn't carry out security updates
[13:54] <Balls> Thank you cfhowlett
[13:54] <cfhowlett> minttu if you have another USB, make another bootable and try again
[13:54] <cfhowlett> Balls happy to help
[13:55] <minttu> cfhowlett, sorry but this is the only stick i have
[13:56] <cfhowlett> minttu "got stuck" for how long?
[13:56] <minttu> 10-15 min
[13:56] <vmusr> any idea how to rotate a screen in portrait mode with fglrx with xorg.conf and using xinerama (Rotate on the monitor doesn't seem to do anything)
[13:57] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset|minttu I'm going to take a guess that you hit a nomodeset error.
[13:57] <lolmaus> I'm on 64bit, but i need to build (./configure, make) a program as i386. How do i do that?
[13:58] <guest-nzDTpV> ok:howlett: desktop ubuntu? install cloud? to usb?
[13:58] <minttu> okay thanks, i'll get it a check
[13:58] <guest-nzDTpV> i like you both lulz: very direct solution...... unlike backbox irc
[13:59] <cfhowlett> guest-nzDTpV too much trolling.  suggest you go waste someone else's time.
[13:59] <guest-nzDTpV> im not trolling: there is no waste im doing the solution...

[14:02] <guest-nzDTpV> dont know what cloud is but i dont like all my files to the internet if thats what it is.....security risk via government other

[14:06] <jomarcoelho> Hi. Jomar is here!
[14:09] <surfn> sup
[14:12] <surfn> i have a comp that runs ubuntu.  But, I need to upgrade the bios from Acer, and the instructions say I need a dos boot disk.  Anyone know how I can get one?
[14:12] <cfhowlett> surfn probably - ask Acer.
[14:19] <Senor> ipvs mod not working .is there mothod to debug ?
[14:19] <tristanStrange> erm.... so I've got a dual monitor set up... and the sticky edge between screens is driving me crazy!
[14:19] <tristanStrange> is there any way to make moving between screens a bit smoother?
[14:20] <DJones> tristanStrange: System settings, Screen display, sticky edges off
[14:21] <NeoThermic> I have a 10.04 LTS server, and I'm trying to update *just* PHP to the latest PHP 5.5 version. So far all the instructions I can find want me to also upgrade apache from 2.2 to 2.4, which I don't want to do (mainly as there's config changes and that's out of the scope of what I want to do this weekend). Is there any way to just upgrade the PHP?
[14:22] <tristanStrange> DJones... thanks but that's already set.
[14:23] <tristanStrange> are there other options?
[14:23] <DJones> tristanStrange: Not that I'm aware of, when I use dual screen, thats the only setting I've changed to turn off the sticky edges, that lets me move from one screen to another without any delay
[14:24] <tristanStrange> hmmm.... do you autohide your dash?
[14:24] <tristanStrange> i do...
[14:24] <DJones> tristanStrange: no
[14:33] <Yn5an3> Hello. I have a somehow programming-related question and I'm not completely sure if it fits int the "support" category. It's related to glibc and more precisely to the format used by the ld.so.cache file used in Ubuntu [XX - the version is not really an issue]. Thanks in advance.
[14:34] <cfhowlett> Yn5an3 pose the details
[14:34] <Yn5an3> There are 3 formats supported by glibc, and I'm trying to figure what format Ubuntu uses
[14:34] <bekks> Yn5an3: Which formats?
[14:34] <cfhowlett> !info glibc > cfhowlett
[14:35] <Yn5an3> The formats are defined in dl-cache.h in the sources of glibc
[14:35] <Yn5an3> But they have a compatibility layer
[14:35] <bekks> Yn5an3: Just name them...
[14:36] <Yn5an3> Well, let me have a look at it
[14:36] <tristanStrange> ok disabling the auto-hide for unity fixes iy
[14:36] <Yn5an3> One moment
[14:36] <tristanStrange> ^it
[14:36] <tristanStrange> but surely this is a bug?
[14:36] <DJones> tristanStrange: Do you have the unity bar on both screens?
[14:36] <tristanStrange> any one with dual monitors also experiencing issues moving between screens when unity bar is set to autodide?
[14:37] <tristanStrange> I'm 13.10 btw
[14:37] <Yn5an3> Oops. 2 formats, sry. And they only refer to them as file_entry, and file_entry_new
[14:38] <Delemas> I did a 13.10 to 14.04 upgrade on a VM with a btrfs root. do-release-upgrade used snapshots but did not clean them up. Anyone know the cleanup procedure?
