[11:54] <SirMoo> Nvidia shall be the deaf of me...
[11:54] <SirMoo> death...
[11:55] <SirMoo> MonkeyDust: Nothing.
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> hm
[11:55] <bekks> SirMoo: In the grub menu, remove "quiet splash" from the kernel command line, then boot your system.
[11:56] <SirMoo> Doesn't seem to help bekks.
[11:56] <bekks> SirMoo: You didnt do that, that fast.
[11:56] <SirMoo> bekks: I do my homework before I come in here. :P
[11:57] <bekks> Well, removing quiet splash should change the behaviour significantly, as "no dots anymore" when removing splash.
[11:58] <SirMoo> Yes. Then it's just purple... However, I've made progress by removing the $vt_handoff or what ever line... and now I just get a shell.
[11:59] <MrCeeIII> i get an error eveytime i restart. asking me to report... How do i go about checking what it can be?
[12:01] <SirMoo> Removing quiet splash $vt_handoff let me get to a tty1 login... but it won't let me type or do anything at that point.
[12:03] <kanalplus> Hi! I'm having issues when browsing (i had this in most distros) especially when scrolling it's like lagging and tearing
[12:03] <MrCeeIII> i get an error eveytime i restart. asking me to report... How do i go about checking what it can be?
[12:03] <kanalplus> does anyone know what is that and why?
[12:03] <ikonia> kanalplus: video card and driver compatability is the obvious starting point, more so if you've had it on multiple distros
[12:04] <kanalplus> runing amd apu 6600k with hd8570d
[12:04] <kanalplus> it's so choppy it hurts
[12:04] <SirMoo> Ok... So it's the nvidia some how... telling the system not the use them I can get past the 5 dots...
[12:06] <MrCeeIII> i get an error eveytime i restart. asking me to report... How do i go about checking what it can be?
[12:06] <kanalplus> there are 3 options in additionl drivers, 1st is generic, 2nd fglrx and 3rd fglrx-updates. i did pick the 2nd but still the issues remain
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> MrCeeIII  does it say 'apparmor' in that error?
[12:07] <MrCeeIII> is there a way to disect errors... I get error pop ups how can i go find the error again once i clear it
[12:07] <MrCeeIII> i am really looking for an event viewer type application
[12:08] <bekks> MrCeeIII: Every editor is that. Just take a look at the logs in /var/log
[12:08] <MrCeeIII> is there somthing in ubuntu that will allow me to review errors?
[12:08] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, errors will be recorded in the logs
[12:08] <MrCeeIII> so open terminal go to var/log directory and then what vi logs?
[12:10] <MrCeeIII> ok im in the log directory no what do i do?
[12:10] <Guest72746>  /ns register 12345<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:10] <MrCeeIII> ok im in the log directory no what do i do?
[12:11] <MrCeeIII> ok im in the log directory no what do i do?
[12:11] <MrCeeIII> ok im in the log directory now what do i do?
[12:11] <MrCeeIII> how do i view the logs?
[12:11] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[12:11] <bekks> MrCeeIII: With the text editor of your choice.
[12:11] <MrCeeIII> and which log should i look at sys log
[12:11] <ioria> MrCeeIII, you can use a gui  if you  want  :    gnome-system-log &       in terminal ...
[12:11] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, i believe ubuntu has a log viewer
[12:12] <MrCeeIII> bekks... which one would you uses?
[12:12] <bekks> MrCeeIII: I am using vi.
[12:12] <MrCeeIII> ok thanks all
[12:13] <MrCeeIII> gnome not found
[12:13] <MrCeeIII> i have 14.04
[12:13] <bekks> MrCeeIII: which vommand did you run?
[12:13] <bekks> *command
[12:13] <MrCeeIII> gnome syslog
[12:14] <bekks> MrCeeIII: Thats not the command you have been told.
[12:14] <MrCeeIII> i used vi... but somone stated a gui can be used (gnome)
[12:14] <ioria> !info gnome-system-log &
[12:14] <ioria> !info gnome-system-log
[12:15] <ioria> MrCeeIII, it works on Unity too
[12:16] <MrCeeIII> which logs shoould i review other than syslog
[12:20] <ad> i mistakenly typed "cd ?" in terminal and it changed my prompt too ss@ss-desktop:~/R$ what ddoes it mena
[12:20] <ad> mean*
[12:21] <bekks> ad: it changed your working directory to ~/R
[12:22] <ad> sorry as i am new to ubuntu . but afaik '~' is home directory for user and '/' is root directory what does it '~/R' mean
[12:23] <bekks> ~ is the home directory, / is the root directory, and in the context of <directory>/<directory> / is a path separator.
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> ad  type pwd   what does it say
[12:24] <ad> @monkeyDust it says /home/ss
[12:24] <bekks> ad: So you current directoy is /home/ss
[12:36] <rahuldev> Hello
[12:36] <rahuldev> trying to find out.
[12:37] <rahuldev> What's the difference between ls and dir? pls anyone help me, I already googled! didn't get it.
[12:38] <coolmadmax> rahuldev, check man ls
[12:38] <OerHeks> ls gives nice colours
[12:38] <SirMoo> So what about the nvidia drivers is crashing ubuntu at login? :/
[12:38] <OerHeks> http://askubuntu.com/questions/103913/difference-between-dir-and-ls-terminal-commands
[12:39] <OerHeks> SirMoo, yes, tell us, what about?
[12:39] <SirMoo> OerHeks: It's a question asking why they are doing that...
[12:40] <chittu> hi
[12:41] <chittu> anyone is there
[12:41] <geirha> nvidia is just terrible at writing bugfree drivers for linux, that's all
[12:41] <MonkeyDust> chittu  this is the ubuntu support channel
[12:42] <DJones> SirMoo: You probably need to give more details, I have no issues at all with nvidia, maybe which nvidia card, which driver, how you installed them etc as a starting point
[12:42] <rahuldev> hi,
[12:43] <rahuldev> Is my message delivered to this channel?
[12:43] <OerHeks> rahuldev, yes, but you left before reading the answers
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> rahuldev  ls seems to be a more 'advanced' dir command
[12:44] <OerHeks> http://askubuntu.com/questions/103913/difference-between-dir-and-ls-terminal-commands
[12:44] <SirMoo> Drivers are 355 and 358 I used this guide (as suggested by someone on the forum) http://rajat-osgyan.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/how-to-install-bumblebee-on-ubuntu.html However, when I update bumblebee.conf with the driver info... I can't boot into ubuntu properly. It manages to get stuck along the way freezing up.
[12:44] <rahuldev> OerHeks, I think my Irc client is not giving me problem sometimes.
[12:44] <OerHeks> bumblebee is depreciated, nvidia-prime is the tool now
[12:45] <rahuldev> OerHeks, I missed my answer, today IRC messages are getting delayed to me or sometimes not getting.
[12:45] <SirMoo> OerHeks: That's install as well...
[12:45] <OerHeks> rahuldev, ls gives nice colours, and see that askubuntu url
[12:45] <Deakin> yeah
[12:47] <rahuldev> MonkeyDust, OerHeks thanks got it.
[12:49] <rahuldev> Hey everyone, When you open any webpage, who here getting "video ads"? ---not sites like google facebook, youtube like webpages
[12:50] <rahuldev> I mean a player comes-up or pop-up and start displaying video ads?
[12:51] <OerHeks> rahuldev, clear your cookies and internet cache
[12:51] <MonkeyDust> rahuldev  type   rm -r ~/.cache
[12:51] <rahuldev> OerHeks, Yesterday I reinstalled ubuntu completely format.
[12:51] <rahuldev> but didn't work!
[12:52] <tinyhippo> I am trying to install ubuntu server on a machine, but when I attempt to install GRUB to a different disk than the one i installed Ubuntu on, it fails - how can I fix this?
[12:52] <rahuldev> even in newly installed ubuntu (completely formated), first I type ubuntu.com and it showed me video ad!
[12:52] <ikonia> taehyub_: define "it fails"
[12:53] <OerHeks> rahuldev, that is unbelievable.
[12:53] <tinyhippo> ikonia: "Executing grub-install /dev/sdd failed. This is a fatal error"
[12:53] <ikonia> tinyhippo: ok, so look at sdd - what does that map to ?
[12:53] <tinyhippo> ikonia: the disk I want to install grub on to
[12:53] <ikonia> rahuldev: your DNS provider may have been corrupted
[12:53] <ikonia> tinyhippo: what does it actually map to
[12:54] <rahuldev> OerHeks, Actually to check this I installed ubuntu 3 times! :)
[12:54] <SirMoo> So... removing bumblebee creates more problems.
[12:54] <tinyhippo> ikonia: it maps to SCSI8 which is the USB disk inserted into the internal USB port, that is formatted as ext4
[12:55] <OerHeks> rahuldev, sounds like an external issue, ikonia might be right, resetting your router could solve such weird issues ?
[12:55] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, reinstalling to "fix" thins is a WINDOWS method.  stop doing that please.
[12:55] <OerHeks> or your router is a collection of security holes, replace it.
[12:56] <rahuldev> cfhowlett, lol yup, you're right!
[12:56] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, you might want to flash the very latest software to your router.
[12:56] <ikonia> tinyhippo: there are problems installing grub to USB disks in certain situations
[12:57] <rahuldev> OerHeks, cfhowlett,  ok I'll try thanks
[12:57] <tinyhippo> ikonia: I'll try deleting the partitions on that USB and see whether that changes anything. I've definitely managed to do this once, so I'm suprised that it's failing now - I'll come back if I get any more information though
[12:58] <ikonia> tinyhippo: sorry, I'm not saying "you can't do it" - but certain situations do cause a problem
[12:59] <SirMoo> So... if Bumblebee is deprecated... but I can't log into ubuntu with out it... What is one to do? :P
[12:59] <tinyhippo> ikonia: I know :) I'll try different situations to see if I can get it similar to the state it was when it did work, I'm guessing it was done with a new USB disk, rather than this somewhat used one
[13:00] <rahuldev> http://s24.postimg.org/3t2se2i6d/Screenshot_from_2015_12_13_18_25_07.png
[13:00] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, go into your browser, disable popups
[13:00] <rahuldev> thing is this type of ad is not coming in sites like facebook, google, youtube, microsoft, twitter... world big companies.
[13:00] <ikonia> this is not ubuntu
[13:01] <rahuldev> ok cfhowlett thanks
[13:01] <rahuldev> ikonia not ubuntu?
[13:01] <ikonia> rahuldev: no
[13:01] <ikonia> it is not ubuntu doing this
[13:01] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, what he said.  It is your BROWSER settings
[13:02] <OerHeks> rahuldev, come on, see all those plugins and funny urls, that is no fresh ubuntu.
[13:02] <rahuldev> ikonia, yes, these come's up all other sites except google facebook, like big companies.
[13:02] <ikonia> rahuldev: look at your tool bar
[13:02] <ikonia> that is not a clean install
[13:02] <ikonia> that is you installing loads of junk
[13:04] <rahuldev> Toolbar that doesn't matter, samething happening in firefox or anyother browser.
[13:04] <ikonia> rahuldev: the toolbar DOES matter
[13:04] <rahuldev> even there is nothing I saved in toolbar.
[13:04] <ikonia> you installing things is putting browser redirects and advert redirects into your browser
[13:04] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, this ^^^
[13:05] <rahuldev> ok!
[13:05] <chittu> hi
[13:05] <rahuldev> If I save something in chrome toolbar, is there chances it will also effect in firefox?
[13:05] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, none.
[13:06] <rahuldev> hmm.
[13:06] <rahuldev> Thanks, first I'll try to clean up my toolbar.
[13:08] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, try this: run in incognito mode in chrome to disable all plugins
[13:11] <rahuldev> cfhowlett, tried incognito, still that kind of ads are showing! :(
[13:11] <rahuldev> Is it possible that, our ISP can do that?
[13:11] <ikonia> rahuldev: one of two things is happening here
[13:12] <ikonia> rahuldev: 1.) you are installing browser plugins/tools bars that are cauing a problem (VERY LIKELY)
[13:12] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, strange huh.  I NEVER get autoplay videos.  you enabled it in settings or in your add-ons
[13:12] <ikonia> 2.) your ISP has been corrupted
[13:12] <ikonia> pick which one seems more likley
[13:12] <ikonia> both are possible
[13:13] <OerHeks> or just your router is compromised :-)
[13:13] <rahuldev> here my Isp have monopoley!
[13:13] <ikonia> well yes, I'd tagged that in with your ISP
[13:13] <ikonia> rahuldev: I'm not interested in if they have a monopoly or not, that doesn't change it
[13:14] <rahuldev> ok. I'll ask other ISP people's also.
[13:14] <ikonia> what ?
[13:14] <ikonia> other ISP's people ??
[13:14] <cfhowlett> rahuldev, yeah, no.
[13:14] <rahuldev> I mean users. Are they getting same kind of ads?
[13:14] <ikonia> what are you going to ring up other ISP's ??
[13:15] <ikonia> rahuldev: what does it matter what other ISP's are getting
[13:15] <ikonia> the problem IS your install or your ISP, or your router
[13:15] <ikonia> other people doesn't matter
[13:15] <OerHeks> check other users in your home network first ;-)
[13:16] <rahuldev> ikonia, :)
[13:16] <rahuldev> OerHeks, I'll do that!
[13:16] <rahuldev> ikonia, cfhowlett OerHeks thanks for help!
[13:24] <rahuldev> Those sites are https not getting this video ad kind of issue, but those sites are http only getting this kind of video-ads issue!
[13:25] <rahuldev> ikonia, OerHeks cfhowlett
[13:25] <ikonia> rahuldev: how does this change anything you've been told ?
[13:25] <Voyage> Hi
[13:25] <Voyage> I have added group priviliges and I am in the group but still I cannot get access. Can anyone see this? http://pastie.org/10629729
[13:26] <rahuldev> ikonia, I don't why http sites are getting video-ads, and why https are not getting. :(
[13:26] <ikonia> rahuldev: how does this change the facts you've been told ?
[13:27]  * Voyage waits
[13:27] <rahuldev> ikonia, you mean by this my problem will get solved?
[13:27] <ikonia> rahuldev: you've been told what the most likley reason for your problem is
[13:27] <ikonia> how does this additional info on http/https change that ?
[13:28] <rahuldev> oh, got it, I just thought if I post it someone can help me.
[13:29] <ikonia> it doesn't change the solution
[13:29] <rahuldev> yup.
[13:34] <Overlap> .
[13:34] <Voyage> something really fishy is going on. I have added group priviliges and I am in the group but still I cannot get access. Can anyone see this? http://pastie.org/10629748#16-18
[13:34] <ikonia> Voyage: type "id"
[13:35] <Voyage> ikonia,  $ id
[13:35] <Voyage> uid=1000(user1) gid=1000(user1) groups=1000(user1),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),108(lpadmin),124(sambashare)
[13:35] <ikonia> Voyage: you're not in the group
[13:36] <Voyage> ikonia,  why this says contrary ? and how to add myself to that group? $ getent group devgroup
[13:36] <Voyage> devgroup:x:1001:user1,www-data
[13:37] <ikonia> Voyage: log out and back in to pick up changes in your shell
[13:38] <Voyage> ikonia,  hm...
[13:38] <Voyage> ikonia,  log out means, log out of system or just close the shell?
[13:41] <ikonia> Voyage: just that shell
[13:42] <Voyage> ikonia,  did that. the id is still the same
[13:42] <Voyage> ikonia,  see the last lines http://pastie.org/10629748#16-18
[13:46] <EriC^^> Voyage: you need to logout and back in i think, or you can do sudo login <your user>
[13:48] <geirha> sudo -u user1 -i  # but it will only affect that terminal
[13:48] <Voyage> EriC^^,  wored. Thanks!
[13:48] <geirha> alternatively, there's newgrp
[13:48] <EriC^^> Voyage: no problem
[13:49]  * Voyage thumbs up
[13:50] <freefx> I'm having a slight problem on my laptop. I'm on ubuntu 15.10. The battery indicator in the panel is showing that it's charging but the percentage isn't going up. Why is this? It's been charging for a while now.
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> freefx  in a terminal, type   acpi    what does it say
[13:52] <freefx> MonkeyDust: It says it's charging. It's at 24%.
[13:52] <freefx> MonkeyDust: but it has been at 24% since half an hours
[13:52] <freefx> MonkeyDust: hour*
[13:54] <freefx> MonkeyDust: I'm not sure if this is related but... the last time it was booting up, it was taking a while so I held the power button to force it to shut down and reboot. Does this have something to do wiht it?
[13:57] <freefx> MonkeyDust: I'll try to restart and see what happens...
[14:11] <Guest61443> EJE
[14:20] <yotam> Is it safe to upgrade to Gnome 3.18 on Ubuntu Gnome?
[14:21] <sebsebseb> hi
[14:21] <trixtator> hi
[14:21] <sebsebseb> trixtator: hi
[14:22] <trixtator> Sory yotam . I do not use gnome
[14:22] <flyborn> Est kto russkoyazychniy
[14:23] <MonkeyDust> !ru
[14:23] <sebsebseb> yotam: what's your issue, I just joined so didn't see that, I do use GNOME though
[14:28] <trixtator> Ok. I will take a little cigarette brake!
[14:32] <ufk> gello
[14:32] <ufk> how can i stop ubuntu from auto updating time ?
[14:34] <cfhowlett> ufk, settings > system > update manager > settings
[14:34] <OerHeks> updatemanager > settings >check for updates : never
[14:35] <OerHeks> or do you mean NTP ?
[14:35] <ufk> welp i didn't quite explain myself properly but i found it. timedatectl set-ntp 0
[14:36] <OerHeks> update-rc.d ntp disable
[14:41] <freefx> my laptop's battery is charging at very slow speed, or so it shows in the indicator... it was 24% more than half an hr ago and now it's at 25%... i don't know what's happening.. can someone help?
[14:43] <OerHeks> freefx, i am not surprised, charging and using the machine gives vary result.
[14:44] <yotam> sebsebseb, I ask if it is safe and stable to upgrade to Gnome 3.18 and if so how? I found an answer on Askubuntu that didn't work
[14:44] <daftykins> freefx: leave it for 30 mins powered off and see if it charges, then boot up and check if it goes up after another 30 mins
[14:44] <sebsebseb> yotam: which version of UBuntu are you on 15.04?
[14:44] <sebsebseb> I mean 15.10
[14:44] <yotam> Yes, Ubuntu 15.10
[14:45] <sebsebseb> yotam: yes the version 15.10 has won't be the latest, will be a version behind the upstream stable release
[14:45] <freefx> daftykins: should I leave it powered off while also charging or just powered off?
[14:45] <sebsebseb> ,but there won't be that much noticeable difference betwen the two anyway, but yes if you really want the latest you can try a GNOME ppa
[14:46] <sebsebseb> !ppa
[14:46] <daftykins> freefx: powered off and plugged in charging yep, the idea is to check if it charges fine whilst not powered on
[14:46] <yotam> sebsebseb, I tried to add the ppa like this: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
[14:46] <yotam> It didn't work
[14:47] <karelb> hello. I have problems with VLC. It refuses to play (some) videos on my computer and spits some VDPAU errors.
[14:47] <freefx> daftykins: Hmm... yeah I should try that... but this never happened before...
[14:47] <karelb> I tried to google and I didn't get anything useful
[14:47] <sebsebseb> yotam: that looks like the right kind of command to me, but been ages since I Tried to do a ppa personally
[14:47] <karelb> I installed latest intel drivers successfully, from their website
[14:47] <sebsebseb> yotam: why do you want the very latest GNOME?
[14:47] <yotam> If I open the ppa page on launchpad and search for gnome-shell it's tell me that the latest version there is 3.16
[14:48] <sebsebseb> come end of March and the one in the ppa will also be old
[14:48] <daftykins> freefx: it'll be the quickest to rule out software i'd say
[14:48] <zykotick9> karelb: i doubt the VDPAU warning is related to the not playing the videos
[14:48] <yotam> sebsebseb, because the Google Drive intergration and Calendar
[14:49] <freefx> daftykins: I have a dell. And I also ran the system performance and even there it was showing the same percentage
[14:49] <daftykins> freefx: how old is the machine?
[14:50] <freefx> daftykins: bought it this year. around june
[14:50] <OerHeks> !info gnome-shell wily
[14:50] <daftykins> freefx: ouch, i would power off... remove the battery, disconnect mains power, hold the power button for a bit to discharge, then put it back in, reconnect, power on but use F2 to get into the BIOS and see if it charges in there
[14:51] <karelb> zykotick9: this is excerpt from the messages - http://termbin.com/durz
[14:51] <karelb> it goes on and on
[14:51] <OerHeks> yotam, disregard that gnome ppa
[14:51] <daftykins> freefx: if not, you might be able to get the battery swapped under warranty, i think they tend to have 6-12 months tops on the battery
[14:52] <zero_> ubuntu behaving weirdly after updates
[14:52] <TJ-> karelb: those errors suggest the video encoding may be incorrect
[14:52] <freefx> daftykins: alright thanks, let me go see what I can do
[14:52] <xStark> Ubuntu have me loads of problems :( So I had to remove it.
[14:53] <yotam> DerHeks, why?
[14:53] <daftykins> xStark: what is your support question then?
[14:53] <daftykins> xStark: sounds like it's a bit too late ;)
[14:53] <Overlap> rhytmbox, launcher, desktop everthing is behaving strange
[14:53] <xStark> Yep
[14:53] <OerHeks> yotam, that ppa was created for 15.04, you have already newer versions
[14:53] <xStark> Well 1st it gave me brightnest adjustment problems
[14:53] <xStark> I fixed that after a few hours
[14:53] <xStark> Then it gave me cooling fan problems
[14:53] <karelb> TJ-: I doubt that. File plays correctly in Kaffeine
[14:54] <karelb> and I think it also plays correctly on Windows, but I cannot confirm now
[14:54] <karelb> (on another PC, with VLC also)
[14:54] <xStark> It didn't even turn on and PC overheated
[14:54] <xStark> I boot to windows, wow full blast fans
[14:54] <Overlap> flash drive isn't mounted on the file system tree
[14:55] <Overlap> and windows partion were displayed on the launcher
[14:55] <yotam> DerHeks, so is there a ppa for Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 that have Gnome 3.18?
[14:55] <Overlap> now everything is gone
[14:55] <daftykins> xStark: there's not really any point you being here unless you have an ubuntu installation you want assistance with.
[14:55] <tinyhippo> is there a guide to installing Ubuntu server with a ZFS pool filesystem?
[14:55] <yotam> I won't compile it from source for this but there some features that I want
[14:55] <TJ-> karelb: the decoding in software is quite a lot different; those errors are very specific: VDP_STATUS_INVALID_Y_CB_CR_FORMAT
[14:56] <daftykins> tinyhippo: i believe ZFS is supported better on other distros.
[14:56] <xStark> Well, you have a point
[14:56] <tinyhippo> daftykins: can you recall which ones from the top of your head?
[14:56] <xStark> Screw it, cya
[14:56] <OerHeks> yotam, gnome-staging, but carefull, you are on your own https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3-staging
[14:56] <SchrodingersScat> !zfs | tinyhippo
[14:56] <daftykins> tinyhippo: SuSe i think i heard once.
[14:56] <tinyhippo> daftykins: hmm I'd rather a .deb based system, but I'll look into it, thanks
[14:57] <daftykins> maybe fedora also
[14:57] <karelb> TJ-: OK, so I should just start using Kaffeine instead of VLC? VLC did not work for me on another, different file I tried it on, and also kaffeine worked there

[14:57] <yotam> DerHeks, "The packages here have been deemed not ready for general use" I think I will wait for official support, is there a date for Ubuntu Gnome 3.18 support?
[14:57] <karelb> (my question)
[14:57] <Li> I donno why I get all the text marked wrong while using ubuntu
[14:58] <Li> how to fix the spelling check service/process or whatever it is?
[14:58] <daftykins> Li: a screenshot might help if that's a real attempt at asking for help :)
[14:58] <OerHeks> karelb, you just said that you succesfully installed that intel driver.. so that askubuntu is incomplete
[14:59] <karelb> 0erHeks: yes, because it's old :( I will update it
[14:59] <karelb> good idea
[14:59] <ylolek> hi all
[14:59] <OerHeks> karelb, with those drivers, we cannot help i think.
[14:59] <TJ-> karelb: It depends on the underlying libraries each program uses; some will automatically adjust so even when the colorspace claims to be X, it'll intelligently switch to the actual found colorspace for processing. With VDPAU you don't get that luxury - what you pass has to be what is expected
[15:00] <karelb> 0erKeks: when I wrote that askubuntu question, they did not have 15.10 drivers available
[15:00] <OerHeks> intel has drivers availble standard, for a long time now
[15:01] <karelb> ok, maybe they did not list them on 01.org website? I don't remember. I have them now anyway, from their 01.org website. I will edit the question
[15:02] <daftykins> karelb: never try to obtain from that site. it is a huge waste of time
[15:02] <karelb> OK. I hoped that going to intel directly will get me newer drivers or something like that
[15:02] <daftykins> it's not Windows, in my experience everyone that tries those just trashes their install with intel's messy PPA.
[15:03] <daftykins> the wisest approach i think for better support is trying newer mainline kernels or Hardware Enablement stacks
[15:05] <ioanm> hi
[15:05] <ioanm> may I speak to an op?
[15:05] <lotuspsychje> ioanm: #ubuntu-ops
[15:05] <ioanm> thanks
[15:05] <karelb> well I can remove the PPAs and try to update again, but I don't think it will help now. I don't want to experiment with new kernels, I need to work on this computer too :) don't want to mess it up too much
[15:06] <karelb> ok, I will give up on VLC and use kaffeine, as much as I hate the GUI
[15:07] <SchrodingersScat> !info mpv | karelb
[15:08] <karelb> thanks
[15:08] <karelb> will try!
[15:10] <ioanm> export, i didn't know you also were in ubuntu chatroom :)
[15:10] <ioanm> remember me
[15:11] <karelb> SchrodingersScat it works, on both videos, great. But it has no GUI at all :) I want the blasted Open... dialogue! :D
[15:12] <ashic_> is it possible to install ubuntu with bios sata config set to raid? (i.e. for windows, loading iastor.sys driver works)
[15:13] <Sagar> Hello, can anyone help us, our server is getting mad, not sure what is the issue and where it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/13990037/
[15:13] <Sagar> It says We have detected that load average of your VPS  is above the allowed limit.
[15:13] <SchrodingersScat> karelb: ah, k.
[15:14] <Sagar> Our vps was suspended, they said us to look into our VPS. Any help appriciated, SMTP and php fpm is getting made, not sure, why
[15:14] <karelb> trying to install gnome-mpv now
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> Sagar: try the #ubuntu-server guys mate
[15:16] <lotuspsychje> !raid | ashic
[15:16] <Sagar> Ok lotuspsychje: we will also pay if someone help
[15:17] <lotuspsychje> Sagar: payed support is not the purpose of our channels here
[15:17] <Sagar> lotuspsychje: i mean if we can hire someone who can help not in here.
[15:17] <karelb> well. gnome-mpv is not bad, but, in the great Linux tradition, its GUI looks completely different from any other Linux program. :))
[15:17] <lotuspsychje> Sagar: try ask in #ubuntu-server
[15:17] <Sagar> asked
[15:18] <ashic_> ubotto: thanks :)
[15:18] <Sagar> meanwhile lotuspsychje: what do u think what could be wrong? http://paste.ubuntu.com/13990037/
[15:19] <ashic_> lotuspsychje: new latptop. single nvme drive. bios has options for ahci and raid (default is raid). heard somewhere that nvme drives benefit from raid. is that true, or should i avoid the hassle and go with ahci?
[15:19] <lotuspsychje> Sagar: if i was you, i would join specific channels of the services you have a question about
[15:19] <lotuspsychje> ashic: ask in ##hardware mate, they have more experience in those layouts
[15:19] <daftykins> Sagar: what ubuntu is it running?
[15:20] <Sagar> 14.04
[15:20] <lotuspsychje> daftykins: did you friend come get his lenovo?
[15:21] <ashic_> lotuspsychje: am asking there too...a bit quiter over those parts...hopefully somebody will respond.
[15:22] <samir> Every time I open any webpage from any browsers, it redirect me to www.domain-error.com
[15:23] <lotuspsychje> samir: sounds like a problem for the ##networking channel
[15:23] <Sagar> daftykins: 14.04
[15:23] <samir> Is it a malware problem?
[15:24] <daftykins> samir: sounds like hijacked DNS or similar yeah
[15:24] <samir> what could be possible solution?
[15:24] <daftykins> samir: try hardcoding your DNS to google or openDNS
[15:24] <daftykins> Sagar: your paste was pretty unreadable, i'd look at the load levels in top
[15:26] <della_> hey all! I'm trying to do some kernel bisection for a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1512482) -- my broadcom wireless card doesn't work if I load an old (trusty) kernel on my wily machine
[15:27] <della_> since it's something that takes a while to show up I'd need to be able to do random everyday stuff while waiting for the bug to manifest
[15:28] <daftykins> della_: that's not surprising, i would not even attempt using older kernels on newer dists
[15:29] <della_> daftykins, how am I supposed to do kernel bisection then? :)
[15:30] <lubuntu> net
[15:31] <MonkeyDust> della_  you want to gnerate errors, for research purpose?
[15:31] <daftykins> della_: are you saying this broadcom wifi works in 14.04 but not 15.10 ?
[15:31] <MonkeyDust> generate*
[15:32] <della_> MonkeyDust, I'm supposed to find out the first kernel version on which I can reproduce that bug
[15:33] <della_> daftykins, actually I was able to use the wifi on any version
[15:33] <della_> problem is simply that I'm trying to understand a weird bug that takes time to reproduce
[15:34] <della_> so I was trying to make my laptop usable while I was running older kernels on wily
[15:40] <ren0v0> chromium and flash are burning the hell out of my CPU
[15:40] <ren0v0> whats the current situation with flash and ubuntu (14.04) ? is this a known issue
[15:40] <ren0v0> and, are there alternatives
[15:41] <sebsebseb> ren0v0: yes there are two altnearitves if still maintained, but were never that good when I treid before
[15:41] <sebsebseb> Flash can cause Linux distros to get slow though
[15:41] <sebsebseb> and browsers to crash
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> ren0v0  workaround: install indicator-cpufreq
[15:43] <ren0v0> MonkeyDust, whats the use of the indicator ?
[15:43] <sebsebseb> ren0v0: have you treid another brwoser, might work a b it better with that
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> ren0v0  it's interactive, it lets you change the way your cpu is used
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> ren0v0  like so  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/indicator-cpufreq.png
[15:45] <lotuspsychje> ren0v0: do you have high cpu on webbrowser-app also?
[15:48] <ren0v0> the CPU usage is coming from flash plugin
[15:48] <ren0v0> i know this
[15:48] <ren0v0> i just can't see how its found acceptable
[15:48] <lotuspsychje> ren0v0: chromium doesnt use flash plugin
[15:49] <ren0v0> libpepflashplayer.so  i know
[15:50] <lotuspsychje> ren0v0: so lets try again, do you have high cpu on webbrowser-app also?
[15:55] <YamakasY> ook this is strange butp backup cannot backup well to a usb disk

[16:11] <mrx> oops osrry
[16:13] <laza> ioria: Well, no.
[16:13] <ioria> laza what's the problem ?
[16:14] <laza> ioria: "How can I split a big file in (n+d) smaller files where I afterwards only need any n smaller files to reassemble the big file?"
[16:15] <ioria> laza  glag -n  for number of pieces or -b flag fot the size of them ....   man split
[16:15] <ioria> *flag
[16:15] <akik> laza: what do you mean by "only need any n smaller files" ? you need all the files to get the original file
[16:16] <laza> ioria: no. read question.
[16:17] <ioria> oh... i see
[16:18] <laza> akik: That's the point. I want more smaller files, so if at max d are corrupt I can still reassble the big file having the n good ones
[16:18] <ioria> laza  can you give us the bigger picture ?
[16:18] <akik> laza: ok i think rar had that kind of rescue functionality with the .par files
[16:19] <daftykins> laza: so essentially you want to mimic the illegal scene where they distribute files where parity tools can help
[16:19] <Sonderblade> has anyone else noticed a huge amount of font rendering glitches in ubuntu 15.10?
[16:19] <jonnyyyyyy> ciao

[16:19] <jonnyyyyyy> !list
[16:19] <enyc> mrx: i've wondered that too, maybe there are good documents on using unity but i don't know where they are!
[16:20] <laza> daftykins: "mimic the illegal scene" LOL
[16:20] <jonnyyyyyy> !alis
[16:20] <daftykins> laza: accurate no? :P
[16:22] <Sonderblade> daftykins: not in this case. im talking about letters being chopped, like the "dip" of the q character being cut of
[16:22] <laza> ioria: it is for backup. Burn a large archive that spans say 10 CDs. Now 1 CD will get lost/is unreadable. Now the whole archive is lost. Burn 12 CDs and one CD is broken. Still recover archive with the remaining 11.
[16:22] <laza> daftykins: sorry no. (see backup)
[16:23] <daftykins> laza: i'm saying it's an identical example, i'm not saying you're doing that, read...
[16:23] <daftykins> ;)
[16:24] <ioria> laza  tar has multivolume support..... each will have an independent archive, and can be read without needing the other
[16:25] <laza> daftykins: I can't relate, because I don't know that usecase! ;)
[16:25] <TJ-> laza: so what you want is a write-only RAID set on CD/DVD

[16:37] <javabean_> Do people just write scripts or something that scans open IP addresses?
[16:37] <mrx> spotify
[16:37] <daftykins> javabean_: you should be using a non-standard port and consider installing something such as fail2ban
[16:37] <daftykins> javabean_: yes - and have done forever :)
[16:38] <daftykins> when Windows XP had its' famous msblast exploit back years ago, a computer system survived on average 10 minutes directly connected to the internet before being hit.

[16:38] <daftykins> however my little history lesson is horrendously off topic (:
[16:40] <datatype_null> sorry off topic. java channel is invite only? is there a regular channel for java?
[16:41] <javabean_> daftykins: I'm just so shocked it's muliple IP address attempting to enter every hour
[16:41] <OerHeks> datatype_null, you will need to register your irc name, they hate trolls & spambots
[16:41] <OerHeks> !register
[16:41] <daftykins> javabean_: right so change from port 22, very unwise :)
[16:41] <datatype_null> 0erHeks: ok thanks
[16:41] <datatype_null> OerHeks: ok thanks
[16:41] <datatype_null> is that a zero?
[16:42] <javabean_> daftykins: They're attempting to use usernames like 'tomcat' 'jenkins' 'svn'
[16:42] <javabean_> 'admin' 'user' all of which do not exist.
[16:42] <daftykins> javabean_: oh i'm sure, anyway do as advised and it won't be a problem.
[16:42] <daftykins> !fail2ban
[16:42] <daftykins> hmm not a factoid
[16:43] <javabean_> daftykins you mean change the port from 22 to something else?
[16:44] <daftykins> yes
[16:44] <daftykins> shockingly my words did indeed have that meaning :)
[16:44] <javabean_> Right pl
[16:44] <javabean_> ok *
[16:45] <javabean_> Are there any other ways to see if someone successfully logged in?
[16:45] <bean> Changing SSH to a different port is security by obscurity and I don't recommend it.
[16:45] <bean> javabean_, the "w" command on the command line shows currently logged in. /var/log/auth.log also has logs of people logging in
[16:46] <daftykins> javabean_: just. change it.
[16:46] <daftykins> running a VPS with SSH open on port 22 is idiotic

[17:06] <nicomachus> is there a specific reason why `purge --remove` doesn't remove files from /usr/share/xsession/? I removed i3 the other day, but it didn't delete the i3 or i3 (debug) files from /usr/share/xession/, so i3 still showed up as an option in the DE selection menu on the login screen

[17:07] <ioria> nicomachus, did you run apt-get autoremove ?
[17:07] <nicomachus> yes.
[17:08] <nicomachus> I eventually just removed them manually, just curious why purge --remove didn't do it
[17:08] <MonkeyDust> nicomachus  try this: sudo aptitude purge ~c    <-- that's a tilde
[17:08] <daftykins> !ops | anonymous_ kick/mute required :)
[17:08] <ioria> nicomachus, try from the Software Center ?
[17:08] <akik> nicomachus: you can check if the file is still known to the package manager "dpkg -S /usr/share/xsession/file.desktop"
[17:09] <TJ-> nicomachus: did you make changes to those files?
[17:10] <nicomachus> TJ-: I made some changes to the config, but that's in ~/.i3/ and that was removed by the purge
[17:10] <nicomachus> akik: I've already manually removed them from xsession, so I can't check that now.
[17:10] <TJ-> nicomachus: generally, files that remain behind is due to them not being identical to the files the package installed
[17:11] <nicomachus> other WM's I've installed haven't done that, though. Awesome removed everything with purge --remove awesome*
[17:11] <ioria> nicomachus, dpkg -l i3-wm     maybe is still there
[17:11] <nicomachus> then again, you can't really do purge --remove i3* unless you wanna kill a lotttttt of really necessary stuff
[17:12] <nicomachus> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13991812/
[17:12] <ioria> nicomachus, yep, still installed
[17:13] <ioria> nicomachus, remove it
[17:14] <nicomachus> see, I'm gonna blame i3 for this. you can't do i3* because then it catches anything that's i386, so there's no easy way to remove...

[17:26] <Bassem> i got blank screen when i try to
[17:26] <nicomachus> should work fine with HDMI... what's your GPU?
[17:27] <Bassem> nicomachus: what do you GPU?
[17:27] <Bassem> mean?
[17:27] <bean> Bassem, video card.
[17:27] <Bassem> bean: nividia gtx 970
[17:28] <TJ-> !nomodeset | Bassem
[17:30] <JermBeatz> noob here
[17:31] <Bassem> TJ-: are you done with virtual machine yet
[17:32] <JermBeatz> can anyone help gettin ubuntu studio?
[17:32] <TJ-> Bassem: unfortunately the installer's Unity session won't work in the VM guest since it insists on hardware accelerated graphics drivers
[17:32] <Bassem> TJ-: hope you can connect to my pc with some thing like team viewer
[17:33] <nicomachus> TJ-: is this unity 8?
[17:33] <Bassem> TJ-: im on windows now should i convert the d: partition to logic disk?
[17:33] <TJ-> Bassem: however, that isn't needed. The reason you couldn't create a plain LVM Physical Volume using the installer was that the entry you saw (which I assume was truncated) actually is "physical volume for encryption", which explains why you got the subsequent dialog box asking for a passphrase
[17:34] <Bassem> TJ-: so what can i do??? i thought if i convert it to logic disk through windows it will save that step on us
[17:34] <TJ-> Bassem: So, as I said yesterday, the easiest way to solve that is to boot into the installer's 'Try Ubuntu' session, open a terminal, and use a couple of commands to manually create the LVM config before starting the installer application
[17:35] <TJ-> Bassem: Windows 'logical disk' is nothing to do with Linux LVM, its a similar term for something completely unrelated
[17:35] <OerHeks> JermBeatz, there is a dedicated #ubuntu-studio channel
[17:35] <Bassem> TJ-: manually create the LVM config will just convert the type of th partition or will make new one?
[17:36] <TJ-> Bassem: you would create the PV, and then assign it to a VG
[17:36] <JermBeatz> sorry im a noob
[17:37] <Bassem> TJ-:  what do you mean by creating it??? you mean deleting the exisit partition and recreat it again or just convert it?
[17:37] <OerHeks> oh, i don't understand noobs, sorry
[17:38] <TJ-> Bassem: no, I don't mean deleting the partition. Simply creating an LVM Physical Volume in that partition
[17:40] <Bassem> TJ-: ok ,,about the blank screen what i understand is to press f6 and then type acpi_osi right
[17:41] <TJ-> Bassem: errr, for what? no, not for 'nomodeset'
[17:44] <Bassem> TJ-: the tutorial dos not mention how to add nomodeset
[17:44] <TJ-> !nomodeset
[17:45] <TJ-> Bassem: yes it does

[17:47] <regedit> hello, Kubuntu 15.10 here, my system time is wrong by multiple hours, it's set to update automatically
[17:48] <k1l_> tempuser: ask in #debian
[17:48] <tempuser> Ok thanks
[17:49] <TJ-> regedit: is the locale correct?
[17:50] <TJ-> regedit: sometimes the time can be off because the OS expects the hardware time to be in UTC, and adds the timezone offset, but if the hardware time is also localtime then the TZ offset gets added twice
[17:50] <regedit> `sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com` outputs: ntpdate[3963]: no server suitable for synchronization found
[17:50] <regedit> TJ-: (heya!) well the time zone is set to the right one if that's what you mean
[17:51] <regedit> i used to have more options about setting system time, but many of them are gone now with latest update 15.10
[17:51] <TJ-> regedit: that's fine, but I'd first check what the PC's hardware clock time is. It *ought* to be set to UTC/GMT
[17:51] <regedit> such as the UTC thing you mention
[17:51] <enyc> regedit: does it help to add -u  ... ntpdate -u ntp.ubuntu.com    ?
[17:51] <regedit> hm ok i should check that then
[17:51] <regedit> enyc: with ellipses?
[17:52] <TJ-> regedit: do "sudo hwclock --show"
[17:52] <enyc> regedit: err no idea what you are talknig about
[17:52] <enyc> regedit: -u helps sometimes because in some routers/firewalls don't allow  from-low-port to-low-port ...  -u sends more compatible network packets from a 'high' udp port .. . i've had this before
[17:52] <regedit> enyc: sorry your message was a bit undecipherable at first, i'm parsing it correctly now :)
[17:53] <regedit> TJ-: it looks perfectly correct
[17:53] <regedit> but not UTC/GMT
[17:53] <enyc> regedit: e.g.  'gnatbox'  had this issue once
[17:53] <regedit> rather my local time zone
[17:53] <OerHeks> regedit, 'system time is wrong by multiple hours' .. set it correct in your bios?
[17:53] <enyc> regedit: timezone has nothing todo with  ntpdate setting the system utc time properly
[17:53] <OerHeks> then the system will follow
[17:53] <regedit> enyc: still ntpdate[4011]: no server suitable for synchronization found
[17:54] <enyc> regedit: do you get _any_ other output from the servers it talkers  to?
[17:54] <enyc> regedit:  ntpdate -qu ntp.ubuntu.com   will query
[17:54] <enyc> regedit: if you have a high latency internet connection it won't use it to sync etc.
[17:55] <TJ-> regedit: right, which is the problem. If you add on your timezone offset does that result in the time the OS is displaying?
[17:55] <regedit> > sudo hwclock --show
[17:55] <regedit> Sun 13 Dec 2015 12:52:18 PM EST  .030449 seconds
[17:56] <darkx239> does anyone know how to get wubi to install to a different partition
[17:56] <TJ-> regedit: OK, and for UTC it would be 17:52:18
[17:56] <MonkeyDust> darkx239  wubi is windows program, it's not a real installation
[17:57] <MonkeyDust> is a*
[17:57] <TJ-> regedit: what does "date" report?
[17:57] <regedit> TJ-: Sun Dec 13 17:57:12 EST 2015
[17:57] <regedit> which is very wrong
[17:57] <TJ-> regedit: right, so it is what I said
[17:57] <Bassem> TJ-: i press F6 then select nomodeset but when i select try ubuntu it still give me blank screen
[17:57] <regedit> ok so i just need to change the BIOS clock to UTC then?
[17:57] <tempuser> How do you install ffmpeg?
[17:58] <TJ-> regedit: yes, you can use 'hwclock' to do that
[17:58] <tempuser> I asked this in #debian, and they said to come here.
[17:58] <MonkeyDust> !wubi | darkx239
[17:58] <tempuser> I am indeed running ubuntu
[17:58] <jelly> k1l_: tempuser is running trusty, not debian.  Please avoid pointing them to #debian before verifying their OS release, next time
[17:58] <BluesKaj> tempuser, sudp apt install ffmpeg
[17:59] <tempuser> That doesn't work
[17:59] <BluesKaj> sudo rarther
[17:59] <k1l_> jelly: he said jessie/sid
[17:59] <tempuser> sudo aptitude install ffmpeg
[17:59] <tempuser> doesn't work either
[17:59] <tempuser> aptitude search ffmpeg lists nothing
[17:59] <ioria> tempuser, cat /etc/issue
[17:59] <jelly> k1l_: and that's precisely what the file says on trusty.
[17:59] <tempuser> Well, it lists something
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> tempuser  and avconv?
[17:59] <tempuser> Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l
[17:59] <regedit> TJ-: oh cool didnt know that, looking that up...
[17:59] <jelly> k1l_: ask for "lsb_release -sc" output, next time, or the above
[18:00] <ioria> tempuser, no ffmpeg, then
[18:00] <tempuser> Is avconv the 'next-gen' of ffmpeg?
[18:00] <TJ-> regedit:  use "sudo hwclock --set" to copy the current OS time (which is in UTC/GMT) to the hardware
[18:00] <BluesKaj> yeah 14.04 uses avconv for some rasonm the newer ubuntus have ffmpeg back in the repos
[18:00] <BluesKaj> reason
[18:00] <ioria> !info libav-tool  | tempuser
[18:00] <k1l_> jelly: ah, it was /etc/debian_version, misread that as etc/lsb-release. sorry
[18:00] <jelly> tempuser: it's the other way round really.  avconv from libav project is a fork of ffmpeg that's not really maintained any more
[18:01] <ioria> !info libav-tool  trusty
[18:01] <TJ-> regedit: then set the OS time using "sudo hwclock --hctosys"
[18:01] <enyc> libav-tools ??
[18:01] <k1l_> tempuser: at the time 14.04 was released ubuntu and debian did use avconv instead of ffmpeg. most commands should work
[18:01] <BluesKaj> tempuser, which 14.04 ? have updated/upgraded and dist-upgraded lately?
[18:02] <tempuser> 14.04.3
[18:02] <ioria>  !info libav-tools trusty
[18:02] <jelly> tempuser: you could try googling for "trusty ffmpeg ppa" and see if you get lucky
[18:03] <BluesKaj> avconv was a bit clunky iirc. so ffmpeg was recalled
[18:03] <tempuser> My god, it's this hard?  ok
[18:03] <Bassem> i press F6 then select nomodeset but when i select try ubuntu it still give me blank screen
[18:03] <k1l_> iirc ffmpeg and avconv did solve their issue that lead to the fork.
[18:04] <k1l_> tempuser: why cant you use avconv?
[18:04] <tempuser> I do "aptitude search avconv" and i get nothing
[18:04] <ioria> tempuser, if you're desperate for it  .... http://sysads.co.uk/2014/07/install-ffmpeg-2-3-ubuntu-14-04/
[18:04] <ioria>  !info libav-tools trusty | tempuser
[18:05] <k1l_> tempuser: the package is called "libav-tools"
[18:05] <Mdxxx> .
[18:05] <tempuser> Oh ok, and it's installed.  Thanks
[18:05] <BluesKaj> Bassem, which nvidia ?
[18:05] <lubarch> hello everyone, how can we share command's output with someone easily?
[18:06] <daftykins> !paste | lubarch
[18:06] <k1l_> !paste | lubarch
[18:06] <Bassem> BluesKaj: nividia gforce gtx 970
[18:06] <regedit> TJ-: all good no, thanks!
[18:07] <nicomachus> regedit: I take it you got that system to boot last night, then?
[18:07] <regedit> er *now
[18:08] <BluesKaj> Bassem, do you have have nvidia-346 installed?
[18:09] <Bassem> BluesKaj: im trying to install ubuntu it give me blank screen on HDMI
[18:11] <julian-delphiki> Bassem, and did you try with nomodeset like someone told you to earlier
[18:11] <Bassem> julian-delphiki: i press F6 then select nomodeset but when i select try ubuntu it still give me blank screen
[18:20] <kurufin> hi
[18:20] <nicomachus> hi kurufin
[18:23] <kurufin> i was wondering if it is possible to replace the /etc systemfolder (maybe partially) by a mounted device? for better understanding: i want to create a vbox-machine running ubuntu and share the configuration between several workstations without having to copy the disk-image.
[18:23] <bekks> kurufin: No, it is not possible.
[18:24] <bekks> kurufin: Doing so will render your system unbootable.
[18:24] <kurufin> bekks: yes, i noticed that :)
[18:24] <kurufin> bekks: do you know another way? i wanted to avoid copying changed files with rsync or sth like that
[18:24] <bekks> kurufin: Thats the way to go.
[18:26] <laza> akik: Thanks
[18:27] <nils_> damn Skylake is annoying
[18:29] <daftykins> correction, Linux support of skylake * (at best)
[18:29] <daftykins> when running old kernels more than likely :)
[18:30] <nils_> daftykins, same difference. 4.2.3 isn't really old
[18:32] <daftykins> a very irritating colloquialism that one :)
[18:32] <Scriptonaut> hi all. I'm setting up a pair programming environment on my computer. I created a new user named pair. People will ssh into it, however I don't want them to be able to edit or read certain things in the ~/.ssh directory. So, I chagned owner and group of the files in there to a different user (my administrator of the machine, not root). However, when I change the perms to 744, I can no longer ssh into the machine. Is there a way to make the ifles in
[18:32] <TLF> Help :) I'm at my uncles house trying to install software (commercial). I cant sign up to Ubuntu One because "Wrong captcha solution". My eyesight is good.
[18:33] <nils_> daftykins, most indeededly ;)
[18:34] <nicomachus> TLF: are you a robot?
[18:35] <TLF> nicomachus: No, just a bit desperate to not leave the house without giving him his present, which is a steam game.
[18:35] <bekks> TLF: Why do you need to sign up to Ubuntu one for doing that?
[18:35] <TJ-> Scriptonaut: use the sshd option AuthorizedKeysCommand to run a script that reads that user's keys from a different location. "...The program should produce on standard output zero or more lines of authorized_keys output ..." see man 5 sshd_config"
[18:36] <Scriptonaut> Thanks TJ- I'll check it out
[18:36] <TLF> Software center requires Ubuntu One account credentials
[18:36] <nils_> that's exactly what a robot would say...
[18:36] <TLF> :D
[18:37] <TLF> OMG, completely missed the 'new user' option...
[18:50] <OerHeks>
[18:54] <noobuntu> sebsebseb thanks.
[19:05] <PMT> Hi all, I'm trying to get a kernel dump on Ubuntu 15.10 amd64, I have crashdumprecipe configured correctly, if I do a c > /proc/sysrq-trigger I get a nice dump in /var/crash, but when the actual panic that I'm trying to diagnose happens, I'm getting files full of 0x00 in /var/crash. Do I need to tell the crash kernel "no, really, make sure it flushes to disk before you reboot" somehow?
[19:05] <liam__> biila
[19:08] <Scarecr0w> Anyone home? :(
[19:08] <SlidingHorn> Scarecr0w, what's your question? :)
[19:10] <Scarecr0w> SlidingHorn: I was in need of help installing Spotify in my Ubuntu 15.10. It gives me this error and i don't know how to fix it. http://i.imgur.com/GL0eeeY.png
[19:11] <PMT> Scarecr0w: A) that's just a warning it should have installed fine B) it's caused by having the same sources.list entry more than once, so you could go find the duplicate entry and remove it if it bothers you
[19:12] <javabean_> Scarecr0w: Have you run apt-get update?
[19:12] <daftykins> Scarecr0w: share text in a pastebin when possible, it's a lot more useful and efficient than images of text
[19:12] <Scarecr0w> daftykins: Sorry, will do next time.
[19:12] <Scarecr0w> PMT: Sadly, I can't find spotify among my installed applications.
[19:13] <daftykins> Scarecr0w: looks like your repo list has a duplicate, check your /etc/apt/sources.list or use the GUI tool in system settings -> software and updates ; to confirm
[19:13] <Scarecr0w> javabean_: Yes which results in more error, let me dump these errors in Pastebin real quick.
[19:13] <daftykins> Scarecr0w: nah just check the file, the message you got told you all you need to know :>
[19:13] <OerHeks> did you follow this guide ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Spotify
[19:15] <Scarecr0w> ohh it should be run via terminal lol. Checked my Software center, running it fine at the moment.
[19:16] <fdsdfs> I'am back with my problem width freezes
[19:17] <fdsdfs> how I can clear orange area: http://i.imgur.com/3rADAsl.png
[19:17] <zerowaitstate> I seem to have 23 versions of the linux-image kernel package installed.  How do I prune old version of the kernel I'm not using anymore?
[19:17] <fdsdfs> ?
[19:17] <OerHeks> fdsdfs, what are we looking at,mem bar?
[19:18] <fdsdfs> yes? in htop
[19:18] <fdsdfs> yes, in htop
[19:18] <julian-delphiki> fdsdfs, the orange is just cache i believe. in linux caching is a good thingf
[19:18] <OerHeks> that orange area is unused, so what do you need?
[19:19] <OerHeks> i think blue is cache ..
[19:19] <zykotick9> OerHeks: i don't think it's unused, my htop show unused as "blank" space...
[19:19] <julian-delphiki> fdsdfs, what is the output of "free -m"
[19:20] <fdsdfs> I know, but I note that if this bar is full orange my system freezes
[19:20] <julian-delphiki> in a pastebin.
[19:20] <fdsdfs> 3861       3745        116       2113          7       2273
[19:20] <julian-delphiki> so yeah, that is a lot of buffers+cache
[19:21] <julian-delphiki> so, I think that's a false-positive fdsdfs
[19:21] <fdsdfs> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13995755/
[19:21] <julian-delphiki> yep, mostly cache.
[19:21] <grzywacz> Any hints on how to start debugging a mono-only sound output on a fresh installation of 15.10 with SB live (emu10k1)?
[19:22] <fdsdfs> but how to clear this? drop caches doesn't working?
[19:22] <VFDPrim> im wanting to benchmarck my graphics on ubuntu just tried glmark2 but it does not work any sugestions
[19:22] <julian-delphiki> fdsdfs, i'm tellin' ya. that isn't your issue. Cache / memory usage in linux is what you want.
[19:23] <julian-delphiki> fdsdfs, http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[19:24] <OerHeks> VFDPrim, i test with glx-gears >  sudo apt-get install mesa-utils && glxgears
[19:24] <fdsdfs> but is there way to clear this cahce?
[19:24] <VFDPrim> thank you much oerheks
[19:25] <PMT> grzywacz: mono-only output from one program, or any program, or ?
[19:25] <grzywacz> PMT, any program it seems, even sound settings samples "Front-left", "Front-right" sounds the same
[19:25] <julian-delphiki> fdsdfs, `echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches` but its really not necessary.
[19:26] <fdsdfs> but this does'nt works
[19:26] <PMT> fdsdfs: as root, or echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[19:26] <julian-delphiki> fdsdfs, try running 'sync' first.
[19:27] <VFDPrim> does this glgears keep going untill i stop it or doest it auto run for so long
[19:27] <PMT> grzywacz: one of my default guesses would be the speaker cable, honestly - did it work in stereo correctly at any point in the past, in any OS?
[19:27] <julian-delphiki> it just keeps going pretty sure VFDPrim
[19:27] <PMT> VFDPrim: it will run until killed.
[19:27] <grzywacz> PMT, worked up until the installation/upgrade
[19:28] <grzywacz> But I'll double check.
[19:28] <fdsdfs> doesn't works. # sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches. in free -m: cached - 2268
[19:28] <VFDPrim> ok how do i kill it without leaving the terminal
[19:28] <daftykins> ctrl+c
[19:28] <VFDPrim> perfect thank you
[19:29] <PMT> grzywacz: to be clear, i'm perfectly willing to believe it's software, but checking the cable is easy and a simple fix, if it's the problem. :)
[19:29] <grzywacz> PMT, duh :)
[19:29] <VFDPrim> looks like im getting on avarage of 300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.804 FPS is this good bad or decent
[19:29] <julian-delphiki> fdsdfs, are you on a livecd or something?
[19:29] <grzywacz> Seems to have helped indeed. (facepalm)
[19:29] <fdsdfs> no
[19:29] <PMT> grzywacz: glad to hear it. :)
[19:29] <julian-delphiki> well, fdsdfs, the kernel will keep in memory whatever it feels like it needs.
[19:29] <daftykins> VFDPrim: it's useless as you have vsync on, hence the max of 60fps
[19:29] <grzywacz> Now I have to help two people to restore my karma. ;)
[19:30] <Dinosaurio> Hi. I'm under Ubuntu 14.04. when trying to execute a program, I get this "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by ./daemon)" and " /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by ./daemon)". The fact is that I have libstdc++.so.6 installed. What's the problem?
[19:30] <VFDPrim> and how do i know if vsync is on lol
[19:30] <twirlobite> hey all -- i am hoping someone can help me out with a persistent problem: I keep getting "GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications." and "(python:3732): Gtk-WARNING **: GModule (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so) initialization check failed: GLib version too old (micro mismatch)" whenever starting a GUI-like app with
[19:31] <OerHeks> VFDPrim, that is oke, if you have nvidia, go into nvidia settings > open GL settings , and disable sync to vblank, and run glxgears again. ( now you see the true power! )
[19:32] <VFDPrim> where would nvidia setting be lol
[19:32] <Remembeer> meh
[19:32] <Remembeer> meh
[19:32] <VFDPrim> just started getting into seeing what my comp can actualy do lol
[19:33] <Bassem> nothing work for blank screen on HDMI
[19:33] <OerHeks> VFDPrim, you will have it if you installed prop nvidia driver via the driver tool
[19:33] <VFDPrim> ............ no clue what you mean lol
[19:33] <regedit> :( something is still messing up system time
[19:33] <OerHeks> !nvidia
[19:34] <regedit> ahem
[19:34] <Bassem> can't install ubuntu on HDMI
[19:34] <julian-delphiki> Dinosaurio, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20357033/how-to-fix-program-name-usr-lib-x86-64-linux-gnu-libstdc-so-6-version-cxx sounds like what you're experiencing.
[19:35] <julian-delphiki> Bassem, so its just straight to black screen after "try ubuntu"?
[19:35] <Bassem> julian-delphiki: yes
[19:36] <julian-delphiki> and which version Bassem
[19:36] <Bassem> julian-delphiki: 14.04
[19:36] <freefx> Is adblock plus not working for anyone on firefox?
[19:37] <daftykins> freefx: ublock origin is infinitely superior, in my personal experience
[19:38] <julian-delphiki> Bassem, and you tried 'nomodeset' right? some things say try waiting longer. Other things say to try installing with onboard graphics, and then install the graphics drivers for your nvidia card.
[19:38] <freefx> daftykins: never used that. should I try it out?
[19:38] <Bassem> julian-delphiki: so no other soultion?
[19:38] <julian-delphiki> Bassem, also, you can try disabling the onboard video in the bios.
[19:39] <VFDPrim> that nvidia link does not explain how to get to the right hardware drivers for 15.10 last one is for 10.10 and im not understanding where it wants me to go
[19:39] <daftykins> freefx: sure
[19:39] <Bassem> julian-delphiki: its disabled
[19:39] <VFDPrim> I went to system settings and it wants me to go to administration next but im not seeing that as an option
[19:39] <Dinosaurio> julian-delphiki: Yes, it works now. Thank you :)
[19:39] <julian-delphiki> Bassem, does your onboard have HDMI video? You could try that port to see if its being weird and using that output,.
[19:40] <twirlobite> why would I be getting: "GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications"
[19:41] <Bassem> julian-delphiki: will it work if the on board video card is disabled?
[19:41] <julian-delphiki> Bassem, it's worth a try.
[19:42] <Bassem> julian-delphiki: will try
[19:42] <freefx> daftykins: seems to work fine! thanks for the recommendation.
[19:42] <daftykins> freefx: np :)
[19:43] <Jurgen2> Ssh-keygen appends myuser@host to the end of the pub file. Is it just there as a comment? Can i remove it?
[19:44] <julian-delphiki> Jurgen2, yes, it's just an identifier
[19:44] <regedit> :( something is still messing up system time. sudo hwclock --show: is correct (i think), but the clock in the tray corner is off by many hours :(
[19:44] <twirlobite> where can i get ubuntu help apart from the ubuntu forums, askubuntu, and this irc?

[19:48] <julian-delphiki> yeah, I don't think they're actually errors, twirlobite... warnings aren't critical
[19:49] <twirlobite> OerHeks, julian-delphiki: I wasn't getting these errors before -- for instance, i wasn't getting them yesterday morning, and when i am making apps with pyqt, it's causing some serious issues (possibly)
[19:49] <javabean_> Is IRC safe to use?
[19:50] <JeDa> Yes
[19:50] <javabean_> I'm using it from the freenode web client
[19:50] <PMT> for what value of safe?
[19:50] <twirlobite> OerHeks, julian-delphiki: in particular, i am bothered by this because i didn't have it before
[19:51] <gh156> twirlobite: if it has no impact on your programs, just ignore it. maybe a recent updated library started throwing those errors
[19:51] <julian-delphiki> that's really the only thing I can think of ^
[19:51] <gh156> not a big deal
[19:51] <OerHeks> +1
[19:52] <twirlobite> gh156: i think it is having an impact on my programs though, here, i'll link you to the problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34244849/adding-in-a-qtextedit-widget-as-the-central-widget-makes-main-window-not-pop-up
[19:52] <amcq_> can anyone tell me if I can dual boot with ubuntu on a mac? I have been running ubuntu in a virtual box vm but would quite like to use it natively if posible
[19:52] <MonkeyDust> !mac | amcq_ start here
[19:53] <twirlobite> gh156: now, also on ubuntu, aren't having that issue with the program in question, and they are wondering if its because of the glib-gio warning
[19:53] <PMT> twirlobite: are, or aren't?
[19:53] <twirlobite> PMT: *aren't* -- the skeleton code for them works just fine
[19:54] <twirlobite> PMT: (and they don't get the warning/error messages)
[19:54] <gh156> twirlobite: yeah, that's a problem then. did you ask in ##python as well?
[19:54] <amcq_> monkeydust: thanks
[19:54] <OerHeks> twirlobite, note the answer
[19:55] <twirlobite> gh156: i am there right now, basically having this same convo (trying to explain why i think the errors might be symptomatic)
[19:55] <gh156> ##python might spot the library problems quicker vs. just asking specific distro advice
[19:55] <PMT> twirlobite: have you found anyone else with the same messages, and compared their versions of the various libraries you're referencing versus yours?
[19:55] <gh156> in any case, patience wins =)
[19:58] <regedit> PMT: last reboot i did sudo hwclock --hctosys, which seemed to fix the issue, but this doesnt seem to persist through reboots, as i see now my system time is off again
[19:58] <regedit> when i do sudo ntpdate -u ntp.ubuntu.com: ntpdate[3316]: no server suitable for synchronization found
[19:59] <PMT> regedit: hwclock --hctosys shouldn't be necessary to repeat. i wonder if your system thinks the HW clock is in UTC and it isn't, or vice-versa, and so it's drifting by the difference every reboot.
[19:59] <regedit> PMT: where would that setting be? some of these options disappeard from the system date/time settings panel
[20:00] <elisa87> Hi, do you know why two out of my three slave VMs might go down and as a result I cannot SSH them? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34255611/slave-vms-are-down-in-cloudlab Any idea how to debug/fix this?
[20:01] <regedit> PMT: what should my BIOS time be BTW? i think last i checked it it said the right time in EST
[20:02] <PMT> regedit: mostly this matters if you are using multiple OSes on the same machine, as long as all the OSes think the same thing the worst that happens is your BIOS thinks the system time is off by a few hours.
[20:02] <ericcaron> running Kubuntu on my macbook pro first gen intel. seems to start up quite a bit slower than usual ( i haven't messed around with any settings save for a bit of UI changes) what would be the best/non-destructive way for me to speed up both the boot up time to desktop , and opening of programs ( they seem to hang every so often)
[20:03] <regedit> PMT: i currently only have 1 OS but either way i wouldnt mind having the "proper" machine time in case i ever do, but BIOS seems to be talking in EST
[20:03] <regedit> i dont remember seeing a BIOS setting to change to UTC/GMT
[20:03] <justyn> quit
[20:03] <justyn> ls
[20:03] <regedit> and i dont know where that setting is in Kubuntu anymore either...
[20:04] <PMT> regedit: there usually isn't one iirc. i'm just hypothesizing anyway, it's one of the most common reasons i've seen for clock drift like that.
[20:04] <regedit> PMT: so if my BIOS speaks EST is it even possible to make it UTC?
[20:04] <regedit> either way - how do i get ubuntu to recognize that the machine clock is or isn't UTC
[20:05] <regedit> there used to be a button for that in the date/time settings, cant see it there anymore
[20:05] <regedit> after 15.10 upgrade
[20:05] <regedit> (Kubuntu here anyway, so KDE)
[20:05] <ericcaron> try resetting your U.I it might bring back that button since some skins ( seem to not show certain buttons for some odd reason)
[20:07] <regedit> ericcaron: this has been the case on every reboot
[20:07] <regedit> it looks like they cleaned some settings out of the date/time UI
[20:07] <regedit> ever since 15.10 upgrade
[20:07] <regedit> is there a config file where this UTC/non-UTC setting is saved?
[20:08] <daftykins> regedit: you're being suggested to try a reset DE, not a REBOOT.
[20:08] <ericcaron> ah i hope they can fix the reboot issue. first time i installed it seemed rather fast. then a few updates later it just slowed down to like i had my entire hard drive full. 77gb /100 still there ( very little used up)
[20:09] <tlt> regedit, there is a file called /etc/timezone or something
[20:09] <MonkeyDust> regedit  is this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime
[20:09] <tlt> just put your desired timezone in there
[20:09] <akik> regedit: you can set the hardware clock in the bios. i haven't seen timezones there. the timezone is controlled in linux
[20:09] <regedit> akik: ye my BIOS seems to only speak in EST
[20:09] <regedit> and i can only change the hr / min
[20:09] <regedit> not zone
[20:10] <akik> /etc/localtime can be symlinked to a timezone file under /usr/share/zoneinfo but i'm not sure if it's the "ubuntu way"
[20:10] <nils_> one issue left with Skylake, my screens keep going black for 2 seconds
[20:10] <daftykins> regedit: i take it you're multibooting?
[20:10] <daftykins> nils_: on what kernel?
[20:10] <akik> regedit: that's whay i was saying. the bios doesn't know of a timezone
[20:10] <regedit> daftykins: i used to, but i dont care for the other boot anymore (been meaning to delete for a while)
[20:10] <nils_> daftykins, 4.3.2
[20:11] <akik> regedit: oh you're seeing EST in the bios?
[20:11] <daftykins> nils_: from the mainline repo?
[20:11] <regedit> akik: ye
[20:11] <daftykins> you don't see timezones, you'll see an hour out or so
[20:11] <nils_> daftykins, self built, enabled the experimental hardware support for i915
[20:11] <daftykins> nils_: ah, then technically what you're running is no longer ubuntu
[20:12] <regedit> i did have an interrupted upgrade from 15.04 > 15.10, which made the machine unbootable and had to boot-repair etc.
[20:12] <ericcaron> hmm any way to do a check up on the bios through the terminal/bios itself? to look for any sort of issues?
[20:12] <regedit> this may be fallout
[20:12] <nils_> daftykins, technically, same is probably true with the mainline kernel
[20:12] <ioria> regedit,  you have Windows installed ?
[20:12] <daftykins> nils_: well yeah, those aren't considered supported either, afaiui. maybe there's a bug in there that a subsequent/earlier doesn't have? probably too soon to tell
[20:13] <regedit> ioria: i happen to, yes
[20:13] <ericcaron> mines an (i386) . no other operating system on it since i didn't want the old mac os x 10.4 clogging the system with something i am not using lol
[20:13] <ioria> regedit,  check it out http://www.webupd8.org/2014/09/dual-boot-fix-time-differences-between.html
[20:13] <regedit> boot-repair spawned 3 extra windows boot options BTW...
[20:13] <nils_> daftykins, yeah, uncharted territory, just hoping someone might have a pointer.
[20:14] <daftykins> nils_: have you played with parameters such as X's backing store and intel's tearfree features in X.org?
[20:14] <ravindu> New to xchat
[20:14] <boxmein> "The machine's firmware has started the installer in UEFI mode but it looks like there might be existing OSes installed using BIOS compat mode. If you continue to install in UEFI mode, it might be difficult to boot into other OSes later. wat do?
[20:14] <Bassem> can some one help me convert sda2 to lvm
[20:14] <Bassem> so i can install ubuntu
[20:14] <nils_> daftykins, I don't think it's X related since it happens on the console too
[20:15] <ericcaron> bassem have you partitioned a section of a drive/drive that you want to boot ubuntu under first?
[20:15] <daftykins> nils_: ah ok, i was lacking that bit of info :>
[20:15] <ioria> boxmein, windows 7 installed ?
[20:15] <ericcaron> keeping in mind partitioning over time/RAID settings degrade the drives quicker than normal operation
[20:15] <boxmein> ioria: windows 7 upgraded to 10 was the previous OS of that laptop
[20:16] <sadg> r there any sexy girls?
[20:16] <Bassem> ericcaron, yes i have 3 partions sda1 for windows 7....sda2 empty for ubuntu.....sda3 have allmy files
[20:16] <ioria> boxmein, are you on live cd ?
[20:16] <k1l_> sadg: wrong channel for that
[20:16] <Bassem> TJ told me to convert sda2 to lvm
[20:16] <julian-delphiki> sadg, this is not the channel for that, please take that conversation elsewhere.
[20:16] <nicomachus> or nowhere...
[20:16] <regedit> so /etc/default/rcS seems to indicate machine clock UTC is *not* assumed
[20:16] <regedit> is this correct?
[20:16] <ericcaron> yes try that bassem see if that works before trying other things
[20:16] <sdfhsdh> kil
[20:17] <Bassem> ericcaron, he want me to convert it to lvm he said he would help me with some commands
[20:17] <Bassem> ericcaron, will he be back soon
[20:17] <ericcaron> ok bassem :)
[20:17] <julian-delphiki> Bassem, there's no saying. You shouldn't have to do anything special unless there's a hard drive you're worried about preserving
[20:17] <Saathan> ericcaron is dead :p
[20:18] <ericcaron> lol i am right here saathan ;)
[20:18] <Saathan> Oh Isee :v
[20:18] <Bassem> julian-delphiki, i have partition D:\ which is 100 GB want to install ubuntu on it so that i can have windows 7 on partition c and ubuntu on partition d
[20:18] <ericcaron> so for boot up speed thats just been a kubuntu issue since 15.0
[20:19] <julian-delphiki> Bassem, Linux doesn't use drive letters :) I think the installer will likely let you choose what partition you want to install it to, you just need to be extra sure that you're selecting the correct one.
[20:19] <Bassem> julian-delphiki, its 100 GB but do i need swap area?
[20:19] <Saathan> Is there any command in terminal to close my girlfriends' mouth?
[20:19] <mancomunado> How do I set privileges to a software that requires Sudo, to an automatic software runs it by its own execution system?
[20:20] <OerHeks> Bassem, you don't need to *convert* to lvm, just remove that partition, and let the ubuntu installer use that free space
[20:20] <ericcaron> since i havent done a lot on my kubuntu. what would be a prefered (faster operating/responsiveness) version of linux to use on my old macbook pro first gen intel?
[20:20] <OerHeks> ericcaron, ubuntu-mate-desktop, xubuntu-desktop
[20:20] <Bassem> OerHeks, Tj want me to convert it to lvm and then partition it to swap area and the rest i guess
[20:21] <ericcaron> ok lemme write it down lol :)
[20:21] <daftykins> ericcaron: which model is it?
[20:21] <OerHeks> Bassem,  that would be silly, converting it and then partitioning..
[20:21] <daftykins> !mac | ericcaron i've written one of those for an old model
[20:22] <nils_> daftykins, must be something else, tried booting windows, same issue. I'll replace the cables.
[20:22] <OerHeks> Bassem, remove the partition, and let ubuntu LVM use that free space.
[20:22] <ericcaron> it's first generation intel , macbook pro 15 inch
[20:22] <Bassem> OerHeks, so why he wanted me to convert it to lvm
[20:22] <ericcaron> 100gb drive , 1 gb ram
[20:22] <akik> Bassem: OerHeks the idea was to create a lvm physical volume to the second partition, but the ubuntu installer does not provide that option. so it should be made manually
[20:22] <nils_> shouldn't be so quick to blame Intel next time ;)
[20:22] <daftykins> ericcaron: no you need to identify the specific x,y value or "mid 2004 MBP" etc, see the above link.
[20:23] <javabean_> Has anyone used irccloud?
[20:23] <daftykins> nils_: :D phew!
[20:23] <ericcaron> 2006
[20:23] <ericcaron> mbp
[20:23] <boxmein> ioria: yes
[20:23] <ioria> boxmein, sudo parted -l
[20:23] <daftykins> ericcaron: no, just follow the link and read, you'll see what i mean :P
[20:23] <ericcaron> ahah :P ok net's loading here feel like i am using dial up >.<
[20:24] <k1l_> javabean_: what would be the question if you have found a user who used it?
[20:25] <ericcaron> thanks having a look :P dafty
[20:26] <boxmein> ioria: Camera Quality, but http://imgur.com/rsTchZl
[20:26] <javabean_> k1l_ wether or not it is good
[20:26] <ericcaron> daftykins: page doesn't exist yet for my model lol
[20:26] <boxmein> free space might or might not have an ext4 partition now
[20:26] <boxmein> I'm not actively touching the machine
[20:26] <ericcaron> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro1-1_1-2/Intrepid
[20:26] <akik> Bassem: the lvm is not necessary for the ubuntu operation but it gives you flexibility
[20:26] <ericcaron> thats what popped up
[20:26] <ioria> boxmein, have you ever used pastebinit ?
[20:27] <boxmein> ioria: oh sure I have but you have to realize I'm not even remotely close to that machine
[20:27] <regedit> i dont ever boot to windows anymore, and system date/time was working fine up until now, it's just after the upgrade to 15.10 (and some complications thereof) that this started happening
[20:27] <regedit> my BIOS has EST time, and my /etc/default/rcD is set to UTC=no, is that a correct setup?
[20:28] <ioria> boxmein, can you paste  sudo parted -l  ?
[20:28] <daftykins> ericcaron: no, but not only can you write it... but all the other info will apply, e.g. boot a version and run dmidecode to identify your mac, or use the system profiler / sys info depending on what OS you're in right now
[20:28] <regedit> er */etc/default/rcS
[20:29] <ericcaron> i've always used / sys info :P
[20:29] <ericcaron> currently on my imac :P be right back to get more info from macbook pro
[20:30] <Bassem> akik, what flexibility
[20:30] <ioria> boxmein, anyway, i think that your win is installed with msdos PT , so you have to install ubuntu in the same way,  in  legacy mode
[20:30] <ioria> boxmein, not UEFI
[20:30] <boxmein> ioria: sure, told user to parted -l, but anyway how does that look like
[20:31] <jair> Hello all, I want to record a couple of youtube tutorials using my linux laptop, I have the software to record the videos and it is working great (kazam) but I would like to have the option to change the mouse to a circle highlighted in the pointer like it does the software bsrsoft.com
[20:31] <akik> Bassem: if you're running out of space, you can enlarge partitions easily
[20:31] <jair> is there a software to add the highlight pointer or some type of pointer that can help the audience to focus on the mouse and clicks
[20:31] <akik> Bassem: they are called logical volumes
[20:32] <ioria> boxmein, well, this is mine (gpt) http://paste.ubuntu.com/13997338/
[20:32] <gleeb> Hey, can't seem to get Ubuntu to boot or install, can someone help
[20:32] <Bassem> akik, i see
[20:33] <regedit> gleeb: be sure the machine is powered on
[20:33] <regedit> gleeb: also be sure the machine is a computer
[20:33] <gleeb> Course it is. Trying to boot/install
[20:33] <nicomachus> regedit: not helpful
[20:33] <gleeb> All it does is hang
[20:33] <regedit> anything passing those 2 criteria should be able to boot/install ubuntu
[20:34] <BDSM> how to get the root access of xubuntu?
[20:34] <gleeb> Well apparently, this does not like it
[20:34] <nicomachus> regedit: says the guy that couldn't get kubuntu to boot last night.
[20:34] <OerHeks> jair,  i would use youtube-dl, and with youtube-dl -F <url>  you can choose format too, and to edit openshot ?
[20:34] <nicomachus> gleeb: what version are you installing, and what are you using to install? (CD/USB)?
[20:34] <gleeb> 14.04, the LTS, USB, made with Rufus or Unetvootin, both fail
[20:35] <boxmein> ioria: https://clbin.com/Dng1l
[20:35] <zykotick9> !root | BDSM
[20:35] <nicomachus> gleeb: ok, two questions: did you do a checksum on that USB, and at what point in the process does it fail?
[20:35] <boxmein> zykotick9: what an arbitrary ubottu response :P
[20:35] <gleeb> I did, and it checks out
[20:35] <jair> hello OerHeks
[20:36] <ioria> boxmein, ok, so start the ubu installer as legacy.... maybe you have to go in your bios to set it
[20:36] <gleeb> When I try to install or try ubuntu w/o installing, it'll merely take me to a loading screen
[20:36] <gleeb> That never ends
[20:36] <jair> OerHeks: youtube-dl I never heard of it but I am checking
[20:36] <gleeb> 15+ minutes
[20:36] <BDSM> what will happen if I commanded Sudo su
[20:36] <ericcaron> ran into an issue
[20:36] <gleeb> nothing
[20:36] <daftykins> BDSM: bad things
[20:37] <zykotick9> BDSM: are you sure you need root? <- you probably don't.  if you really, really do, try "sudo -i"
[20:37] <ericcaron> booted it up normally now i am getting (initramfs)  which command to boot up kubuntu normally?
[20:37] <gleeb> It simply refuses to go on
[20:37] <jair> OerHeks: hmm I don't think you understood my question
[20:37] <daftykins> gleeb: what can you tell us about the system spec?
[20:37] <OerHeks> jair, and for openshot, "if you want to highlight  mouse clicks – there is this setting in mouse preferences –  “Show position of pointer when Control key is pressed” –  you can use it to highlight important mouse clicks ">>    http://zderadicka.eu/nice-solution-for-recording-screencasts-on-linux/
[20:38] <jair> OerHeks: ahh Ok checking
[20:38] <gleeb> A8-3500M, HD 6620G, 8 gigs of RAM
[20:38] <regedit> nicomachus: i did say "should be able to" :)
[20:38] <gleeb> When done with Unetbootin
[20:38] <BDSM> sudo -i
[20:38] <daftykins> BDSM: that's better
[20:38] <OerHeks> jair, i just mentioned youtube-dl, to get the highest resolution with a small dsl.
[20:39] <daftykins> gleeb: you likely need to boot with nomodeset
[20:39] <daftykins> !nomodeset | gleeb try this
[20:39] <gleeb> says /devices/virtual/block/loop0 takes a long time, then times out
[20:39] <bekks> BDSM: sudo su invokes su with root privileges (quite pointless), sudo -i opens an interactive shell with root privileges.
[20:39] <gleeb> It's not the GPU, fairly certain
[20:39] <huehue> please help... http://pastebin.com/MpT0RAjU
[20:40] <elisa87> Hey, any experience with bandwidth limiting in ubuntu? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34252302/dummynet-installation-on-all-components-on-system
[20:40] <gleeb> Splash screen shows fine
[20:40] <gleeb> but nothing happens afterwards
[20:40] <nicomachus> gleeb: it doesn't hurt to try when it comes to nomodeset
[20:40] <daftykins> gleeb: try it anyway.
[20:40] <gleeb> Got it
[20:41] <gleeb> hold on
[20:41] <BDSM> Is there any kali linux adviser?
[20:41] <OerHeks> BDSM, sure, in the kali channels
[20:41] <jair> OerHeks: thnak you so much, but let me paste an example of what I am trying to find: http://imagenes.es.sftcdn.net/es/scrn/116000/116130/pointerfocus-25.jpg
[20:43] <ericcaron> booted it up normally now i am getting (initramfs)  which command to boot up kubuntu normally?
[20:43] <ericcaron> i am running kubuntu .
[20:43] <bekks> ericcaron: Gettong "initramfs" is not "booting up normally".
[20:43] <gleeb> So in the end, layman's terms, how do I apply nomodeset
[20:43] <bekks> Instead of booting up normally, you get a initramfs shell.
[20:43] <jair> OerHeks: or http://www.bsrsoft.com/assets/images/screenshots/frm00017.jpg
[20:44] <bekks> !nomodeset | gleeb
[20:44] <ericcaron> yes bekks
[20:44] <jair> but to be able of add it in linux because the recording software I am using is kazam
[20:44] <gleeb> Already gave me the link but it won't show up on mobile
[20:45] <nicomachus> gleeb: try this one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-do-i-set-nomodeset-after-ive-already-installed-ubuntu
[20:46] <ioria> ericcaron, what did you do lately ?
[20:46] <gleeb> Besides, it always says that /devices/virtual/block/loop0 hangs, or in case of the Rufus USB it doesn't even show that
[20:46] <gleeb> So I'm stuck unable to boot/install it. Sigh
[20:47] <ericcaron> i logged out of it about 20 minutes ago normally and powered it down
[20:47] <gleeb> Also says it cannot enable ACPI among other things
[20:47] <ericcaron> now i boot it up ( power button )  , it loads the command screen. which it hasnt done before
[20:48] <daftykins> gleeb: when you boot, do you have white text on black background (EFI boot) or a logo?
[20:48] <ioria> ericcaron, you mean Grub ?
[20:48] <ericcaron> yes ioria
[20:48] <bekks> ericcaron: So what have you done prior shutting it down?
[20:48] <ioria> ericcaron, so solved
[20:48] <Borg> Why is UnrealIRCd still not in Ubuntu's repos?
[20:48] <ericcaron> what have i done? i did some updates
[20:48] <OerHeks> !info impressive | jair so something like impressive http://impressive.sourceforge.net/ >>
[20:48] <daftykins> Borg: i don't think anyone serious enough about running an IRC server really cares about packaged software or not
[20:48] <gleeb> White text on black background, GNU GRUB, then I select something, black and white for a few seconds then the purple splash
[20:49] <OerHeks> but then for kazam
[20:49] <gleeb> Which leads to nowhere
[20:49] <gleeb> as it hangs
[20:49] <daftykins> gleeb: press 'e' to edit the 'try' option, edit the kernel line so it says "quiet splash nomodeset ..." then ctrl+x or shift+F10 to boot
[20:49] <Borg> daftykins, I didn't ask who cared. I asked why it's not. ;)
[20:50] <daftykins> Borg: one answered the other, but you can hassle the packaging folk if you really want... likely the answer is they're waiting for you to step up as the package maintainer for it :)
[20:50] <jair> OerHeks: will check that and thank you so much
[20:50] <asad_> I was getting this really annoying sound coming from my headphones when nothing was playing. I managed to fix it by following the instructions of the answer with 3 upvotes here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/457910/strange-noise-in-headphones-when-no-sound-is-played
[20:50] <bekks> ericcaron: So which "command screen" are you talking about - the grub menu or the initramfs shell?
[20:50] <Borg> I don't use Ubuntu really. I'm just asking because I've had to use it after xx many years and noticed it still wasn't in there like many, many other things that really should be. :s
[20:51] <p444> How could i use a cron job to run df command and get it to email me every day?
[20:51] <p444> So each day I would receive and email with disk usage (DF command) what woy can this be done
[20:51] <asad_> I am still getting that sound from my laptop's speakers though, how do I get rid of it?
[20:51] <k1l_> Borg: maybe there is no maintainer. so ask the unrealircd guys if they want to maintain it or you could start maintaining it
[20:51] <ericcaron> initramfs shell ( sorry i wasn't clear ) :)
[20:51] <Borg> I just said I don't use Ubuntu really why would I create a package and maintain it? I was just curious I did not say I wanted to develop lol
[20:52] <Globalirc> hello all what is the name of freepascal in repositori ?
[20:52] <Borg> alright well I guess that sums that up.
[20:52] <k1l_> Borg: then there is no point in discussing it. there is no maintainer, so no package.
[20:52] <daftykins> Globalirc: search packages for yourself with "apt-cache search <string>"
[20:52] <gleeb> I think I've done it right, time to try and boot now
[20:52] <ioria> ericcaron, i solved, this morning,  with an hard reboot .... but wait for wiser advice  :þ
[20:52] <Globalirc> i searched and nonething
[20:52] <jair> OerHeks: I believe the spotlight effect will do the trick
[20:52] <bekks> ioria: hard reboot do not solve boot issues.
[20:52] <Borg> k1l_, sure there's a point. The point is many OS do support it yet Ubuntu doesn't support things that have been missing for years and years.
[20:52] <jair> OerHeks: checking if there is a version for Linux
[20:53] <bekks> ioria: They cause boot issues, more likely.
[20:53] <bekks> ericcaron: So which Ubuntu are you using?=
[20:53] <ericcaron> i will try something with my usb ;)
[20:53] <ioria> bekks, ok
[20:53] <ericcaron> kubuntu
[20:53] <OerHeks> !info  spotlighter
[20:53] <ericcaron> worse comes to worse ill use my other forms of linux i got prepared on my imac ;)
[20:53] <bekks> ericcaron: WHICH Ubuntu? Like "which version"? :P
[20:54] <ericcaron> 15.0+? haha
[20:54] <gleeb> Hm, took it a while longer to hit the splash
[20:54] <regedit> is it better to have system date assume BIOS clock is UTC or not?
[20:54] <ericcaron> i am quite a noob :) lots to learn of course
[20:54] <gleeb> Now I wait again
[20:54] <mmoloo> Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 with Unity and my life would be much easier if I could hide this: http://i.imgur.com/eMAxwbul.jpg Let's say I wanted to bring it back with a simple hotkey or something, can I do that?
[20:54] <Globalirc> daftykins: is not named freepascal i was thinking someone here know but i find is named in ubuntu lazarus . thanks btw
[20:54] <daftykins> Globalirc: right so search for "pascal" then "free" maybe?
[20:55] <gleeb> How long is it supposed to take until something happens?
[20:55] <Globalirc> i find is another name on ubuntu lazarus-<IP_ADDRESS> - IDE for Free Pascal - Meta Package
[20:55] <k1l_> Globalirc: install fp-compiler
[20:55] <gleeb> After Assuming drive cache : write through, nothing happens anyway
[20:55] <gleeb> nomodeset didn't help
[20:56] <OerHeks> mmoloo, looks like an option in VLC, minimal interface maybe?
[20:56] <daftykins> gleeb: is this a laptop?
[20:57] <gleeb> It is. Does it make a difference?
[20:57] <gleeb> I got a message at last though
[20:57] <mmoloo> The minimal interface only hides this http://i.imgur.com/BESoyxP.png
[20:57] <mmoloo> And I'd want that bar to be gone too :/ not just vlc, also from terminal etc

[20:58] <gleeb> So what's that
[20:58] <daftykins> does it have Windows on right now?
[20:58] <ericcaron> since i am switching to a lighter version ot ubuntu i might go with that and see how things go lol
[20:58] <gleeb> Yeah
[20:58] <k1l_> mmoloo: you mean removing the window titelbar on a window not fullscreen?
[20:58] <gleeb> I mean
[20:58] <mmoloo> yeah kll
[20:58] <gleeb> It's got Windows installed
[20:58] <daftykins> gleeb: please type full sentences and don't spam us with enter punctuation
[20:58] <gleeb> Got it.
[20:58] <ericcaron> my macbook pro is my test bed for a ton of different things  nothing really important on there yet :)
[20:58] <k1l_> mmoloo: dont think that is possible
[20:58] <mmoloo> damn

[21:02] <Globalirc> bekks http://pastebin.com/NPDPmRvx
[21:03] <Globalirc> for upgrade the distro ?
[21:03] <k1l_> Globalirc: no, it will just update all packages.
[21:03] <k1l_> it will not upgrade to 14.04
[21:03] <bekks> Globalirc: dist-upgrade fetches the latest upgrades for your distro, it does NOT upgrade the release.
[21:03] <jair> OerHeks: or just like the windows software I showed you, but I don't want to have to install or record my linux videos using a windows machine :(
[21:03] <Globalirc> ok because i dont whant to upgrade
[21:03] <Globalirc> ok
[21:03] <m3ng5k> i'll ddos IBM

[21:08] <Globalirc> the same thing here is the log http://pastebin.com/gXbD8HMX
[21:08] <gleeb> Got any idea what the problem could be? I've got to go soon either way
[21:08] <gleeb> Nothing changed, same message every 120 seconds sharp
[21:09] <k1l_> Globalirc: "sudo apt-get install fp-compiler-2.4.4"

[21:10] <Globalirc> k1l_ https://paste.ee/p/4U5Nb
[21:11] <daftykins> gleeb: i don't think it likes your hardware, try newer just for the sake of testing
[21:11] <gleeb> Hm
[21:11] <bekks> ericcaron: fix the fsck error, do not ignore it.
[21:11] <daftykins> gleeb: also i'm assuming you are using 14.04.3 media which'd use 15.04's kernel
[21:11] <k1l_> Globalirc: apt-cache policy binutils-gold

[21:12] <Globalirc> k1l_ : https://paste.ee/p/i6RIl

[21:12] <gleeb> Got one final message daftykins
[21:12] <jair> OerHeks: perhaps I will have to give it a try to a mouse theme
[21:12] <gleeb> no UMS support in Radeon module
[21:12] <p444> bekks: thanks
[21:13] <k1l_> p444: sudo apt update   << brings you a new package list from the servers. sudo apt full-upgrade will update all packages to the new versions from the list
[21:13] <daftykins> gleeb: so graphics related :) i think that's more detail than the overall cause though
[21:13] <daftykins> gleeb: what's the make and model of the machine?
[21:13] <gleeb> Yeah
[21:13] <gleeb> it took it 1100 seconds to say that
[21:13] <gleeb> Acer, Aspire 5560 from 2012
[21:14] <gleeb> HD 6620G and 6650M
[21:14] <gleeb> nomodeset doesn't help
[21:14] <k1l_> Globalirc: "sudo apt-get install binutils"
[21:14] <daftykins> smells like a buggy EFI to me; can you check your BIOS version and compare against the Acer website from in Windows?
[21:14] <gleeb> Hn
[21:14] <gleeb> maybe tomorrow
[21:14] <gleeb> It's V1.09
[21:14] <Globalirc> binutils is already the newest version.
[21:14] <Globalirc> binutils set to manually installed.
[21:15] <gleeb> acer website has delisted the model
[21:15] <daftykins> just have a quick glance on the Acer website and see if it has newer
[21:15] <daftykins> eh i always do fine looking up old machines
[21:15] <gleeb> This is the newest I found
[21:15] <gleeb> 2013
[21:15] <gleeb> Eh
[21:15] <Globalirc> full log > https://paste.ee/p/gOPpr
[21:15] <gleeb> Lateat I could have found in 2013
[21:16] <gleeb> by then that was OOS
[21:16] <jair> OerHeks: this will do http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Alkano+with+background+all+in+one?content=159078
[21:16] <gleeb> Could be buggy but I don't know anymore
[21:17] <gleeb> I'll try more tomorrow, thanks anyway
[21:17] <k1l_> Globalirc: did you install some binutils-gold manually?
[21:17] <damien> Ok wish me luck, remade my fstab ;)
[21:17] <Globalirc> k1l_ no
[21:19] <nefarious_> hello
[21:19] <nwayno> howdy
[21:19] <k1l_> Globalirc: hmm, then i dont understand why it doesnt install since you said you dont have binutils-gold
[21:20] <Globalirc> i paste bin all i installed so far in of .bash_history
[21:21] <k1l_> Globalirc: well, i found this issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/57324/why-cant-i-install-freepascal-and-the-gold-linker-at-the-same-time   so i think you installed something that installed binutils-gold manually and that is now blocking
[21:26] <Anomareh> Can someone tell me what the difference between the "<release>" and "<release>-updates" repositories is?
[21:27] <p444> Im tryign to create regular user accounts not admin accounts, can someone look at my code and tell me if its correct? Do i need to add in a setting so that thye are normal members and not admins. http://pastebin.com/Y2MNYbQs
[21:27] <Globalirc> k1l_ : https://paste.ee/p/mAiAi
[21:28] <Globalirc> k1l_: ok now i look at your link to see were is the problem
[21:28] <daftykins> Anomareh: ""Recommended Updates (raring-updates)". Updates for serious bugs in Ubuntu packaging that do not affect the security of the system. "
[21:28] <daftykins> Anomareh: as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[21:29] <k1l_> Globalirc: we checked already, that binutils-gold package is not installed. so it should not block the install of fp-compiler. except you installed somehting manually (not with the package system)
[21:30] <baybora_> ?
[21:30] <baybora_> ?
[21:30] <daftykins> baybora_: stop that.
[21:31] <Anomareh> daftykins: right, but I don't see it mention "raring" so if there is a version of a package in "raring" and "raring-updates" what is the difference and which is preferred?
[21:32] <daftykins> Anomareh: no, your system has both, raring was 13.04 .
[21:32] <Globalirc> k1l_: yes you are right on other vps it' work to install fp. but for future how i find the binutils i i want to uninstall ?
[21:32] <daftykins> so you have <release> and <release>-updates
[21:32] <daftykins> Anomareh: the one in -updates would be the... *drumroll*... updated version, thus newer and would install :)
[21:33] <Anomareh> daftykins: ok, thank you
[21:34] <baybora_> hi
[21:35] <daftykins> !ot | baybora_
[21:38] <snowstorm> hi all
[21:39] <daftykins> lo
[21:39] <snowstorm> I'm looking for someone who could tell me if it would be better going with ubuntu desktop or server?
[21:40] <daftykins> for what use case
[21:40] <snowstorm> I have an old dell poweredge 1800 which I want to use as a simple file server for home purpose
[21:40] <freefx> daftykins: hey, remember I was here earlier? I asked about why my battery percentage wasn't going up. Well, I guess it was a software problem. I was on 15.10 and it wasn't charging there. I installed 14.04 and it's working fine now.
[21:40] <daftykins> so server then, no need for X
[21:40] <snowstorm> and using ftp file server as well
[21:40] <bekks> snowstorm: then use ubuntu server.
[21:40] <bekks> snowstorm: no need for a GUI.
[21:40] <daftykins> freefx: yeah ACPI, my suggestion of trying from powered off would have pointed that out.
[21:41] <freefx> daftykins: funny thing is I did try charging from powered off but it didn't seem to go up... everything works fine in 14.04.03
[21:41] <snowstorm> and would I be able to share the files onto my network and access them using windows base computer?
[21:41] <bekks> snowstorm: Why not? That does not depend on Desktop/Server, but on your configuration.
[21:42] <daftykins> freefx: you had to follow the steps i gave :)
[21:42] <daftykins> snowstorm: yes by installing and configuring samba
[21:42] <freefx> daftykins: so I guess it was the software, right?
[21:42] <daftykins> yes ACPI support issues most likely
[21:43] <snowstorm> I tryed samba in the past and couldn access files from win base pc... I guess my config were wrong!
[21:44] <daftykins> yes, it was
[21:46] <snowstorm> is there a good online guide on how to configure ubuntu and samba for the purpose I'm looking for?
[21:48] <daftykins> !samba
[21:48] <daftykins> that should help, second one
[21:48] <daftykins> install 14.04.3 server, install samba and SSH, edit your samba configuration and be aware of "testparm" for checking you edited it correctly
[21:48] <daftykins> job done
[21:49] <snowstorm> thanks to freefx and daftykins
[21:49] <snowstorm> would it make difference in config if I install desktop or server version?
[21:49] <daftykins> you already asked that
[21:50] <daftykins> are you a goldfish?
[21:50] <snowstorm> I understand server seems best for my option
[21:50] <daftykins> yep, glorious command line
[21:51] <p444> how can i find out what startup services is running on my linux machine through the command line
[21:51] <daftykins> depends on your version
[21:53] <TheAltera> Well... hello?!
[21:53] <Guest86726> ola
[21:53] <TheAltera> I never used HexChat, so xD
[21:53] <p444> daftykins 14.04
[21:53] <TheAltera> How you guys doing?
[21:53] <daftykins> !ot | TheAltera
[21:54] <TheAltera> Oh, thanks :)
[21:54] <daftykins> p444: service --status-all i think
[21:54] <daftykins> that shows you stuff running at present, so you could see on bootup what is running or not
[21:54] <p444> how to i knwo which is runnin on start up and not at present?
[21:55] <Guest86726> Ola br
[21:56] <k1l_> !br | Guest86726
[21:57] <daftykins> p444: look them up, learn what they are for, then you will know what state you want them to be in and can reconfigure by checking whether they run on startup or not (by finding where you change that)
[21:57] <p444> thats what im trying to do, learn
[21:58] <p444> I thought there might be a way to show whcih ones are used on startup, if there was way find out just teh startups
[21:58] <OerHeks> p444, install bootchart, good view what is going on
[21:58] <OerHeks> !bootchart
[21:59] <p444> just installed bootchart
[21:59] <p444> do i just restart now and go to /var/log/bootchart  on reboot?
[21:59] <bmsr256> !clang
[22:00] <bmsr256> !llvm
[22:00] <OerHeks> p444, yes. and remove the package after use. else your /var/log/ runs full
[22:01] <OerHeks> initctl show-config # will show a lot too
[22:01] <bmsr256> !gcc
[22:04] <p444> thanks
[22:10] <ChameleonSix> Hello

[22:15] <Gallomimia> hey i just restarted my computer and now there's some kind of smoothing on all the text. it looks like hell. until something draws over it then it looks nice for just one second
[22:15] <Gallomimia> i think i found it. fxaa setting in nvidia settings
[22:15] <Gallomimia> how come i couldn't find it before. i must reboot
[22:16] <Gallomimia> or i could just quit my desktop environment...
[22:17] <Gallomimia> yes. that's better. thanks for all the help
[22:17] <Melo> Hey everyone
[22:18] <Melo> Is there anyway to remove the title bars from ubuntu 15.04?
[22:18] <Melo> whether the windows are maximized or not
[22:32] <IamTrying> Since Ubuntu 14 was crashing for, i moved away from Linux and made OSX my daily usage. Now its almost year later i am checking Ubuntu. Is it still 14 or there is some progress in stability of Ubuntu.
[22:32] <nicomachus> Melo: not within Unity, no.
[22:32] <Ben64> IamTrying: what?
[22:32] <IamTrying> Ben64: Ubuntu 14 i was using a lot for enterprise projects, but it was horrible and then i moved away from Linux as desktop.
[22:33] <Ben64> 14 what
[22:33] <nicomachus> Melo: scratch that, apparently someone made a workaround: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1858006
[22:33] <Ben64> horrible how, what are you actually asking
[22:33] <daftykins> IamTrying: if you want to run it on a mac it tends to have issues there so you won't achieve much.
[22:34] <IamTrying> Ben64: i am looking forward to new version of Ubuntu (official website still keep saying to use Ubuntu 14 which i wont ever)
[22:34] <IamTrying> daftykins: no  its not Mac hardware, i have used it in Alienware
[22:34] <OerHeks> current is 14.04.3 ..
[22:34] <Ben64> 14.04 is lts, and really great, maybe you can fix the problem
[22:34] <daftykins> ah so you run a hackintosh then, how delightfully exotic
[22:35] <bekks> IamTrying: There never was "Ubuntu 14". There is 14.04 and there was 14.10
[22:35] <tgm4883> technically current is 15.10
[22:35] <tgm4883> but yea, LTS is recommended
[22:35] <IamTrying> Ubuntu 14.04 - was a nightmare in my project of video conferenceing. i wont ever use it. i was waiting for new release.
[22:35] <Ben64> well theres been 3 releases since
[22:35] <nicomachus> I'm 99% confident in saying that was user error
[22:35] <tgm4883> IamTrying: yet you don't say why
[22:35] <tgm4883> nicomachus: +1
[22:35] <Ben64> but generally saying "problems" doesn't help anything
[22:35] <OerHeks> new release of videoconferencing software?
[22:36] <IamTrying> tgm4883: i had horrible echo when i use WebRTC in 14.04. since i use OSX 10.11 and Windows 8 there was no problem with audio.
[22:36] <tgm4883> IamTrying: ...
[22:37] <tgm4883> IamTrying: I think I know the problem...
[22:37] <qinusty> Does anyone know of a working driver for the Broadcom wireless card in the xps 13 9350 (Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:43a3] (rev 08))
[22:37] <nicomachus> qinusty: bcm
[22:38] <p444> if usign the adduser command how do i have it so 'adduser name' but how do i assign password with each name
[22:38] <nicomachus> qinusty: specifically bcm4350 for the XPS 13
[22:39] <EriC^^> p444: there's useradd , which is more scriptable, and i guess you could use adduser with expect
[22:39] <IamTrying> Ubuntu 15xx is it same as 14.04? i want to try it again and see if the echo problem is gone or not. Because only in Linux Ubuntu 14.04 i had that common echo problem, but i never faced that problem in OSX 10.11 and Windows 7, 8
[22:40] <Ben64> same how
[22:40] <p444> EriC^^ Hows this, where would i add in username, could i do a swap from add user to useradd http://pastebin.com/Y2MNYbQs
[22:40] <Ben64> obviously they are different versions
[22:40]  * tgm4883 facepalm
[22:41] <bzzz> hi folks. how to kill gnome panel in Ubuntu 14?
[22:41] <IamTrying> Ben64: my experience in 14.04 with Audio was very very very bad, cant be Google Chrome issue or WebRTC issue because same version of Chromium was working perfectly fine in OSX and Windows. i want to try to see if Ubuntu 15 have any audio upgrades?
[22:41] <Ben64> bzzz: 14.what and what are you trying to accomplish
[22:41] <Ben64> IamTrying: you can try to fix 14.04, or you can try 15.10, do whatever you want
[22:41] <tgm4883> IamTrying: you'll probably have the same issues in any Ubuntu version
[22:42] <IamTrying> i would try 15.10. Ben64 thanks
[22:42] <IamTrying> tgm4883: but how can i kill that echo? OSX, Windows have it solved but i was unable to kill it in any Ubuntu i tired yet.
[22:42] <Ben64> by coming here for support
[22:42] <bzzz> Ben64: i want to reset the panel
[22:42] <IamTrying> it cant be Google Chrome, Chromium it must be something in Ubuntu audio management.
[22:43] <tgm4883> IamTrying: being that we have zero idea what you're even trying to do. You should start with actually explaining that
[22:43] <Ben64> bzzz: gnome-panel --replace
[22:43]  * tgm4883 finds it laughable that you think it couldn't possibly be chrome/chromium simply because it's the same version
[22:44] <bzzz> ok. tnx Ben64
[22:44] <Bassem> TijG, are you tj?
[22:44] <daftykins> IamTrying: just so you know, 14.04.3 uses a newer kernel than the version you likely tried last, so your bias toward 14.04 us highly illogical and 100% unfounded, imo.
[22:44] <qinusty> nicomachus: Is there a aptitude package available for that driver?
[22:44] <daftykins> s/us/is/
[22:44] <IamTrying> tgm4883: 1) Ubuntu 14.04 on 64-bit machine 2) Chromium or Google Chrome stable was used to do peer to peer webRTC audio call 3) the person who receives the audio and send the audio both had serious echo. 4) on same setup when we replaced the Linux and put OSX or Windows there was 0% echo.
[22:45] <nicomachus> qinusty: well, it should be installed already. Did you buy your XPS 13 with ubuntu already installed, or install it yourself?
[22:45] <tgm4883> IamTrying: so the extent of your troubleshooting was.... Switch to OSX and/or Windows?
[22:45] <qinusty> nicomachus: Its the skylake model so it came with windows
[22:46] <IamTrying> tgm4883: YES. i was surprised, that the echo was 0% in OSX and Windows with same environement/same setup
[22:46] <asad_> Hi. I'm hearing this constant crackling sound from my speakers when nothing is playing. I had this problem in my headphones too which I fixed by setting INTEL_AUDIO_POWERSAVE=false in /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/intel-audio-powersave. This only fixed it for my headphones though. This noise can still be heard from the laptop's speakers...
[22:46] <tgm4883> IamTrying: honestly... If your first response is to jump to OSX and/or Windows, then I don't WANT to help you
[22:46] <nicomachus> ugh skylake. ok. well, bring up a terminal and try `sudo modprobe bcm4350`
[22:47] <nicomachus> qinusty: ^
[22:47] <tgm4883> It just shows that it's going to be an extremely uphill battle with too much effort on my part
[22:47] <ProbablyAndy> IamTrying: it sort of sounds like a microphone or some other input needs to be muted.
[22:47] <IamTrying> tgm4883: no that was not the idea. my idea was to use Ubuntu and stay with Ubuntu. But to find the echo problem i have used those OS's as diagnostic
[22:48] <qinusty> nicomachus: module not found.
[22:48] <IamTrying> ProbablyAndy: i am sorry to say it was not. it was OS related (not hardware, because on same hardware we have used windows OS which worked )
[22:48] <tgm4883> IamTrying: which is a terrible first diagnostic. "Hey, this isn't working quite right. Let me reinstall a completely different OS to help troubleshoot the issue"
[22:48] <Ben64> IamTrying: changing os isn't a diagnostic procedure
[22:48] <nicomachus> qinusty: ok, `sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source`
[22:49] <IamTrying> ProbablyAndy: so let me draw it. 1) on the same PC we had dual boot windows 8 and ubuntu 14.04. when we use Ubuntu we have 100% echo issue. on same machine when we used Windows 0% echo problems.
[22:49] <ProbablyAndy> IamTrying: hmm.  I'd have to sit around and play with alsamixer (or pulseaudio, since this is ubuntu), and see if anything i change in there affects the issue
[22:49] <Ben64> IamTrying: yes you said that many times already
[22:50] <tgm4883> IamTrying: part of the problem is that this particular piece of software doesn't seem simple enough for me to just install and test in order to help you with
[22:50] <OerHeks> when i hear "echo" there is a speaker/mic setup failing, or the bios is not set to AC'97 which can give vary result.
[22:51] <Dylan____> Hello all
[22:51] <IamTrying> Ben64: sorry. i am not here to blame Ubuntu is this and that. I am trying to use Ubuntu again, hoping that the echo problem is fixed or there is way to fix it which i do not know and someone else might know.
[22:51] <Ben64> IamTrying: right, so stop talking about the problem and fix it
[22:51] <Dylan____> I need help with my overheating issue on a mac
[22:52] <tgm4883> IamTrying: well the problem is that you keep saying that "Ubuntu is the problem" yet aren't able to offer really anything to back that up
[22:52] <egggs> IamTrying , would it be worth  trying to use a live cd or usb with a couple of different flavors of buntu or linux
[22:52] <daftykins> Dylan____: if it doesn't happen in OS X then you can come back
[22:52] <IamTrying> egggs: i have used ArhcLinux and Fedora, there i had not same echo issue, like Ubuntu 14.04
[22:53] <Bassem> i want to install ubuntu on sda2
[22:53] <asad_> anyone?
[22:54] <asad_> this noise starts right after the splash screen
[22:54] <asad_> until powering off
[22:54] <nicomachus> !patience | asad_ there's a lot going on right now
[22:54] <daftykins> asad_: i take it you've tried the obvious like muting select channels one by one to see if it helps?
[22:55] <asad_> daftykins: Yes I've tried all that
[22:55] <Bassem> can some one help me install ubuntu on sda2
[22:55] <daftykins> that's me out then.
[22:56] <daftykins> Bassem: given it's been over 6hrs and you're still going, i have to wonder how you're making this molehill into a mountain
[22:56] <asad_> daftykins: Would upgrading the kernel help?
[22:56] <nicomachus> not likely...
[22:57] <daftykins> that is not the approach i would take
[22:57] <daftykins> what are you running?
[22:57] <asad_> daftykins: 14.04
[22:57] <daftykins> with which kernel?
[22:57] <asad_> daftykins: 3.19.0-39-generic
[22:58] <daftykins> yeah so you could boot a live session of 15.10 and test, that'd be the easiest way to test that theory without affecting your install
[22:59] <ntfwc> Does anyone know if there is an easy way to get the old md5deep behavior from hashdeep, or do you have to wrap it in another script?
[23:00] <Bassem> daftykins, i was waiting some one to guide me through the installation steps....when i select sda2 it give me error no root system file is define
[23:01] <tgm4883> IamTrying: so if I try it out on my 14.04 machine and it works flawlessly, what does that tell you?
[23:01] <daftykins> Bassem: why did you choose 'manual' then?
[23:01] <Bassem> daftykins, what do you mean i choose manual?
[23:02] <Bassem> TJ-, can you help me to install ubuntu
[23:02] <daftykins> Bassem: ubuntu typically offers to install alongside another OS / wipe an entire disk and install automatically, so there's no reason for you to be stuck at these steps
[23:02] <daftykins> it's better if you don't hassle volunteers by name.
[23:03] <Bassem> daftykins, i just want it on sda2 i wont to wife any other partions dude
[23:03] <Bassem> partitions*
[23:03] <daftykins> if you had no partitions then you'd be installing to sda1.
[23:03] <daftykins> your desire to install to a second doesn't make any sense without furthe explanation
[23:03] <daftykins> *further
[23:04] <Bassem> daftykins, i have 3 partions, sda1 which have windows 7, sda3 which have my data, and empty sda2
[23:04] <Bassem> daftykins, so i want to put ubuntu o sda2
[23:04] <EriC^^> Bassem: where are you from?
[23:04] <Bassem> EriC^^, egypt
[23:04] <tgm4883> IamTrying: Yea I just installed this on my 14.04 desktop, and verified I don't have any echo on either side when testing on my 14.04 desktop and 15.04 laptop
[23:04] <daftykins> heh now the LVM idea makes sense.
[23:05] <TJ-> Bassem: hiya, sure. do you have the installer working without a black screen now?
[23:05] <tgm4883> on a side note, it did remind me I need to upgrade this laptop. So thanks for that
[23:05] <TJ-> daftykins: sorry, did I leave you with a headache over LVM reasoning?
[23:05] <Dylan____> I dont have os x on my mac
[23:05] <Dylan____> I wiped mac osx of it
[23:05] <Dylan____> And i put ubuntu on it permently
[23:05] <daftykins> TJ-: nah i remembered your warning, just wasn't sure if there was some cryptic desire for encryption or some such :D
[23:05] <Bassem> TJ-, i was long way arround i had to disable my nividia gtx 970, and activate my on board viga , and now im running it through my onboard HDMI
[23:06] <TJ-> daftykins: if we wanted encryption it would all be good as the GUI installer will do encryption + LVM, but not plain LVM!
[23:06] <TJ-> Bassem: ahhh! that's a good workaround, I hadn't even realised you had a dual GPU config!
[23:06] <daftykins> hrmm, i thought there was a tickbox - ho-hum
[23:06] <Dylan____> Should i update from xubuntu 14.04 to xubuntu latest
[23:07] <Dylan____> Cause like idk whats better
[23:07] <daftykins> Dylan____: no.
[23:07] <TJ-> daftykins: Bassem's issue was why I wanted that Unity in QEMU test doing, to see what options the installer was offering
[23:07] <daftykins> Dylan____: can you describe these 'overheating issues' more?
[23:07] <Dylan____> How come?
[23:07] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, so where are you at now? You've got the 14.04 desktop i386 installer booted in Legacy/BIOS mode and using the "Tru Ubuntu" mode?
[23:08] <Dylan____> Well when my mac boots into xubuntu the bottom of the mac i can feel heat coming out instantly
[23:08] <ProbablyAndy> Dylan____: can you verify whether your fan is running or not?  From my googlin', it sounds like you have to do some extra stuff to get the fan running right on a mac
[23:08] <daftykins> TJ-: ah-har weird to pick 32-bit?
[23:08] <Dylan____> Yeah my macs a 2010 model so i went with a distro that cant throw around much with
[23:08] <SilentCog> Dylan____: have you installed the mac smc utilities?
[23:08] <daftykins> Dylan____: right, but do the fans run loudly and constantly when it's doing nothing?
[23:08] <TJ-> daftykins: you know... I'm sure there was a reason but darned if I can think what it was!
[23:08] <daftykins> TJ-: :D
[23:09] <Dylan____> No the fans dont run loudly just then they ran when i was playing something thats not heavily 3d
[23:09] <Bassem> TJ-, where can i upload image again
[23:09] <TJ-> !screenshot | Bassem
[23:09] <daftykins> Dylan____: i like SilentCog's suggestion, checking temps may be wise - i think you're worried over nothing without any evidence
[23:09] <Dylan____> I kept checking the system monitor because i thought it was the cores of my mac making it heat up of the cpu
[23:10] <Dylan____> What command ?
[23:10] <TJ-> Bassem: can you remind us why you're installing the i386 (32 bit) version rather than the amd64 (64-bit) version ?
[23:10] <qinusty> nicomachus:
[23:10] <Bassem> TJ-,  who said it's 32 bit???
[23:10] <Dylan____> And im noticed that my battery. Went from 77 yestaday to 75
[23:10] <nicomachus> qinusty: did that install work?
[23:11] <qinusty> nicomachus: Sorry for the delay, struggling with another issue currently. It froze up after the install and I had to reboot it. Now I'm dealing with some /boot/efi issues
[23:11] <ntfwc> I guess I'll just build the old md5deep binary, that will be the fastest solution
[23:11] <Bassem> TJ-, http://imgur.com/DMVhk81
[23:11] <SilentCog> Dylan____: perhaps look into the macfanctld util. you might want to google a bit and see whats up to date with it though
[23:11] <Bassem> TJ-, i downloaded 64 bit version of ubuntu ver 14.04.3 lts
[23:11] <Dylan____> Can you give me some sort of link?
[23:11] <Dylan____> Or is there some ppa I can use
[23:11] <SilentCog> Dylan____: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/11/ppa-install-fan-control-ubuntu-macbook/
[23:11] <Dylan____> To get this stuff working correctly
[23:12] <SilentCog> Dylan____: its potentially out dated though
[23:12] <TJ-> baserunner: oh, you did? is that what is running? Open a terminal and show us what "uname -a" reports
[23:13] <nicomachus> Bassem: ^
[23:13] <Bassem> nicomachus, yes
[23:13] <OerHeks> !info macfanctld
[23:13] <Dylan____> So it wont work as good as it would?
[23:13] <OerHeks> that ppa is surely outdated, fancontrol is in the repos now
[23:13] <Dylan____> Cause i run the software center search macfanctld not there
[23:14] <Dylan____> Am im running xubuntu 14.04.3
[23:14] <TJ-> Bassem: : oh, you did? is that what is running? Open a terminal and show us what "uname -a" reports
[23:15] <OerHeks> Dylan____, it is, https://launchpad.net/macfanctld
[23:16] <OerHeks> maybe you will see it when you install synaptic, but it gets installed for your hardware when you install nvidia drivers i guess. maybe even standard.
[23:16] <Dylan____> How do i install it
[23:16] <Dylan____> I got synaptic
[23:16] <Bassem> TJ-, Linux ubuntu 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[23:17] <OerHeks> check in synaptics > sources, and see if universe repo is enabled.
[23:17] <Dylan____> Kk
[23:17] <TJ-> Bassem: OK! you're fine - it was me that downloaded the i386 version to test in a VM (I've been asleep since then!)
[23:17] <Bassem> TJ-, :D
[23:18] <Bassem> TJ-, you see the screenshot?
[23:18] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, in that terminal do "sudo pvcreate /dev/sda2" then "sudo vgcreate Ubuntu /dev/sda2"
[23:19] <TJ-> Bassem: then restart the installer and the NTFS on sda2 will be gone, and you'll see there's an LVM Volume Group called "Ubuntu" which you can use to allocate the file-systems within
[23:22] <white_magic> anyone here installed linux/ubuntu alongside windows 10?
[23:22] <Bassem> TJ-, look it this http://imgur.com/teOajDN
[23:22] <k1l_> white_magic: some did
[23:24] <TJ-> Bassem: that installer is being very obstinate! Let's use the terminal to actually create some Logical Volumes ready for file-systems to go in!
[23:24] <Bassem> TJ-, im with you
[23:24] <TJ-> Bassem: how much RAM is fitted in that PC ("free -m") ?
[23:25] <white_magic> k1l_: my new dell (xps 15) laptop has windows 10 preinstalled. I got a usb drive set up to install Ubuntu from. But when I try to install Ubuntu, it does NOT see the main hdd/ssd. it only sees the USB drive as a place to install Ubuntu to. if I run 'sudo fdisk -l', i know for sure that the ubuntu installer cannot see the main hdd and its partitions.
[23:25] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13999535/
[23:25] <TJ-> Bassem: so is it 12GB RAM?
[23:26] <Bassem> tj its 12 GB Ram dont count the 3GB used of the onboard VGA i'll disable it once i got ubuntu installed and run my gtx 970
[23:26] <Bassem> TJ-, yes 12 GB
[23:26] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, I wanted to know to choose an appropriate swap size.
[23:27] <Bassem> TJ-, ok
[23:29] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, let's get going. Quit the installer for now. Then, in the terminal, "sudo lvcreate -L 4G -n swap Ubuntu"   then   "sudo lvcreate -L 20G -n rootfs Ubuntu"    then   "sudo lvcreate -L 60G -n home Ubuntu". This will leave approx 20GB unallocated but available for the future, and provide a separate file-system for  /home/ so that future upgrades have maximum flexibility.
[23:30] <mib_mib> hi all - how can i set the proper ulimit -n? It doesn't seem to stay for all users, only 2 of the ones of in /etc/security/limits.conf  (i also added a line to  /etc/pam.d/common-session)
[23:31] <Bassem> TJ-, where they been created and why would i leave 20 unused since nor windows or ubuntu using it for now it's usless let us use it as well
[23:33] <TJ-> Bassem: because later you might need additional space for the root file-system, or for home, but right now you don't that. You're not losing anything because it'll be unused anyhow
[23:34] <TJ-> Bassem: unlike with partitioning, you can instantly add unallocated space to a live LV and have the file-system use it
[23:34] <Bassem> TJ-, ok whats next
[23:35] <TJ-> Bassem: do "sudo lvdisplay" and ensure you see those new LVs reported
[23:36] <Bassem> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13999595/
[23:37] <TJ-> Bassem: OK, start the installer, get into the partitioning stage again, lets see if those LVs show up for use
[23:44] <Bassem> TJ-, http://imgur.com/a/IjcFY
[23:46] <TJ-> Bassem: fantastic! OK, now, select the /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-rootfs, press the Change button, choose its mountpoint as "/", tick the 'format' checkbox
[23:47] <D4RK_PR0XY> HELLO
[23:47] <Bassem> TJ-, nothing like this appear to me
[23:48] <Bassem> TJ-, same old file system ext4 and 3 and 2 and go on
[23:48] <TJ-> Bassem: that's the other option, choose "ext4" there, sorry I forgot to mention that important point
[23:48] <nicomachus> hi D4RK_PR0XY
[23:49] <D4RK_PR0XY> hi nicomachus, what are we talking about.
[23:49] <nicomachus> !ot | D4RK_PR0XY
[23:50] <Bassem> TJ-, should i keep on the Device for boot loader installation as it's /dev/sda
[23:50] <Bassem> TJ-, done the/ and the format step
[23:50] <TJ-> Bassem: yes, leave the boot loader alone.
[23:51] <Bassem> TJ-, ok
[23:51] <TJ-> Bassem: ok, now choose /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-home and do the same thing but set the mountpoint to "/home", ext4, format yes
[23:51] <TJ-> Bassem: then finally again with /dev/mapper/Ubunt-swap and set it to file-system type "swap"
[23:53] <Bassem> TJ-, done but swap didnt have format option
[23:53] <TJ-> Bassem: no, it doesn't need it. As far as I can think you're now done, and can continue with the install :)
[23:54] <Bassem> TJ-, so i choose /home and just click install?
[23:55] <TJ-> Bassem: if you've allocated /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-home to the /home mountpoint it should be ready, press the "Install Now" button and it'll check everything is as expected. If it asks questions about the partitioning we can deal with those
[23:58] <Bassem> TJ-, its installing now
[23:58] <TJ-> Bassem: Yay :D
[23:58] <Bassem> TJ-, yay man thanks alot
[23:59] <TJ-> Bassem: I hope it was worth all the pain and struggle :D
