[00:00] <k1l_> ceed^: the coders said it will not come back on unity7. because its hardcoded and they are coding on the newer unity8 now.
[00:01] <ceed^> k1l_, Oh well. I like Unity but have tried to get used to having it on the left and can't. I think I'll go MATE for now.
[00:01] <ki7rw> knoppix Xorg.0.log has a line that says "no devices detected"
[00:05] <stevecam> do i need to reinstall Ubuntu when I get my new computer, going from a 2nd Gen i7 with a h81 motherboard to a i7 4th gen with a z97
[00:05] <daftykins> stevecam: what graphics do you use in each? the on-die intel?
[00:05] <stevecam> i plan on it
[00:06] <daftykins> stevecam: so i'd take a backup anyway, as is always wise, then just drop the drive in and see what happens :D
[00:06] <k1l_> stevecam: it should work.
[00:06] <stevecam> ;-) ok
[00:06] <daftykins> actually what version are you on there?
[00:06] <daftykins> if 14.04+ i'd say that should be no problem at all
[00:06] <stevecam> 14.10
[00:08] <daftykins> mmm, newer kernel will help then
[00:08] <daftykins> yep just see how it runs :)
[00:09] <daftykins> stevecam: you can always fault-test with live sessions on a flash drive of course, too. for example if audio wasn't working on your install
[00:13] <ki7rw> k1l_, i suppose if my display died i wouldn't get the splash screen at bootup - all i get is a black screen when i should be getting the purple login screen
[00:13] <k1l_> k1l_: does bios work?
[00:24] <HowardTheDuck> /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present
[00:24] <HowardTheDuck> wshats that mean
[00:24] <EriC^^> it means the encrypted swap wasn't decrypted maybe
[00:25] <ki7rw> all of a sudden i can't get an screen - even knoppix fails to bring up a screen - do i have a hardware or software problem? ubuntu 14.04 64 bit nvidia chip (dell xps l502x)
[00:25]  * ki7rw is currently running a memory test
[00:26]  * ki7rw does get a boot splash screen but the screen goes black when the login screen is suppose to show up
[00:28] <Bashing-om> ki7rw: Does a liveDVD boot ?
[00:36] <Guest12011> i cant write to HFS no matter what i do? i tried sudo mount -t hfsplus -o remount,force,rw /mount/point and also tried to disable journaling
[00:37] <HowardTheDuck> how do i fix /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present
[00:37] <EriC^^> HowardTheDuck: check /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab
[00:38] <Ahmuck> where does ubuntu put virtualbox additions cd ?
[00:38] <EriC^^> Ahmuck: did you insert it using virtualbox?
[00:38] <EriC^^> !find guest-additions
[00:39] <HowardTheDuck> i did i dont know what to type on them tho
[00:39] <Ahmuck> i've got it installed
[00:39] <EriC^^> Ahmuck: what do you mean?
[00:39] <Ahmuck> i   virtualbox-guest-additions-iso  - guest additions iso image for VirtualBox
[00:39] <EriC^^> HowardTheDuck: see if they check out, use sudo blkid to get the uuid's
[00:39] <Ahmuck> how do i use it in virtualbox
[00:40] <EriC^^> you can share files between the host & guest etc. etc.
[00:41] <Ahmuck> hrm, ok, that is not my problem
[00:41] <Ahmuck> can't get the screen over 640x480
[00:41] <EriC^^> Ahmuck: modify /etc/default/grub
[00:41] <daftykins> Ahmuck: is this kodibuntu in a VM?
[00:42] <EriC^^> Ahmuck: add one of these numbers as vga=<number> after quiet splash
[00:42] <EriC^^> and set GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
[00:42] <EriC^^> http://pierre.baudu.in/other/grub.vga.modes.html
[00:43] <EriC^^> numbers are there ^^
[00:43] <EriC^^> then sudo update-grub, try to restart
[00:43] <Ahmuck> ok.  kodibuntu does this re-sizing by default.  is this a distro specific thing?
[00:43]  * Ahmuck using lubuntu
[00:44] <Ahmuck> oh, hi daftykins
[00:44] <Ahmuck> no, not kodibuntu anymore, want to try plex
[00:44] <daftykins> fresh lubuntu install? ah ok
[00:44] <daftykins> was just checking it wasn't the need to purge nvidia* , no worries
[00:44] <Ahmuck> daftykins, had a great conversation this afternoon with a fellow tech about kodi, it's history, it's design and operation.
[00:45] <daftykins> neat!
[00:45] <HowardTheDuck> EriC^^,  the uuids do not match blkid and crypttab
[00:45] <Ahmuck> daftykins, actually i checked that the otherday, does not appear the nvidia drivers were installed by default
[00:45] <HowardTheDuck> do i replace the uuid= and what's ever with whats in blkid
[00:45] <daftykins> Ahmuck: they are in kodibuntu land i think, can't remember now from my VM. xbmcbuntu they definitely were
[00:46] <Ahmuck> so lubuntu does not do them by default?  i'm wondering why kodibuntu would be configured that way by default and lubuntu wouldn't.  not a standard?
[00:47] <Ahmuck> kodibuntu autosized by default.  this is the same behavior i remember 4-5 years ago.
[00:48] <xpro256> does someone know how can i install mac os x fonts on ubuntu?
[00:49] <Ahmuck> nm, vbox additions fixed it.  i was thinking it would
[00:49] <Ahmuck> i needed to reboot the vm
[00:50] <xpro256> hi ubottu
[00:52] <daftykins> Ahmuck: *buntu can't include proprietary drivers as default because it goes against the 'free software' approach, the XBMC and Kodi derivatives include them for the sake of making the live sessions work on more hardware out of the box
[00:54] <sfranken> daftykins: True, but didn't it have a easy-peasy driver isntall thing since forever now?
[00:54] <sfranken> s/isntall/install
[00:55] <k1l_> sfranken: ubuntu? look into the updates&software in the system settings. there on the last tab you can install the prop. drivers from the ubuntu repo
[00:55] <daftykins> sfranken: most don't work without full reboots that won't be useful on a live session
[00:55] <sfranken> I know where it is
[00:56] <sfranken> Ah, yeah, a live session is a different beast alltogether
[00:56] <daftykins> anywho, i think i am speaking of modified spins that aren't really supported here, so i shall have to hush :D
[00:57] <jimmyd> googlr
[01:00] <gebbione> any reasons why a specific folder just wont list files through "Files" or Nemo ? i have no problems in bash / ls
[01:00] <sfranken> Hidden files? User ownership?
[01:01] <W6NZX> hey guys easy question I should know. other than my .zshrc is there another "generic" dotfile I can create that will execute commands when logging into the shell?
[01:01] <sfranken> W6NZX: .login probably
[01:02] <sfranken> I guess
[01:03] <W6NZX> trying to have it load a screensaver counter.
[01:03] <W6NZX> i'll try .login
[01:04] <sfranken> Not sure anymore though
[01:04] <gebbione> sfranken, Nemo and Files actually hang infinitely ... it is not that i cannot see the files ... the window is hanging in grey
[01:04] <sfranken> gebbione: That sounds like a GUI/driver issue to me
[01:04] <sfranken> e.g. not repsonding
[01:05] <gebbione> yes
[01:05] <sfranken> Are you doing anything "Crazy"? Like opening a 4GB preview of a MKV file? :P
[01:05] <gebbione> but it is only with a specific folder
[01:05] <sfranken> hmmm
[01:05] <sfranken> Any *huge* hidden files?
[01:05] <fxmulder> whats the best way to do a one time boot to text mode?
[01:05] <gebbione> no hidden files ... there is a 2.7gb video being downloaded
[01:05] <gebbione> but usually that is not a problem
[01:05] <sfranken> That might be it
[01:06] <gebbione> also no preview ... view mode is list by default
[01:06] <sfranken> No recursive symlinks?
[01:06] <sfranken> I had that once
[01:06] <gebbione> no
[01:06] <sfranken> Then I'm stumped
[01:06] <gebbione> no recursive
[01:07] <gebbione> i can eog the images in the folder
[01:07] <gebbione> ls in bash etc
[01:07] <gebbione> but nothing on the windows
[01:07] <sfranken> hmm
[01:07] <sfranken> What does "$ top -u <your username here>" tell you?
[01:08] <k1l_> gebbione: what folder is it?
[01:08] <gebbione> k1l_, it is just a folder like many others with 5 images and a video file .... running on a SATA drive
[01:09] <sfranken> gebbione: the drive is still active?
[01:09] <sfranken> Just making sure :p
[01:09] <gebbione> sfranken, i can access other folders
[01:09] <k1l_> gebbione: just a folder under /home ? is it specific to the location? do the same files work somewhere else?
[01:10] <gebbione> k1l_, it is a folder under /media/DriveName/parent/StuckFolder
[01:10] <gebbione> and /media/DriveName/parent/anyotherFolder works
[01:10] <k1l_> so its a external hdd?
[01:11] <gebbione> internal
[01:11] <k1l_> what FS?
[01:11] <k1l_> filesystem that is. see "mount" if you are not sure
[01:12] <gebbione> ntfs
[01:12] <gebbione> i just run sudo lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL
[01:13] <gebbione> mhhh somehow it looks like my whole memory is being used
[01:13] <tempoe> /list 'hacker'
[01:14] <sfranken> gebbione: What happens when you switch from Grid to List view? If not already on list view
[01:14] <MannyLNJ> Hello. Here is mky situatioon. I have access to an Toshiba Satelitte laptop with a broken LCD. Only the right side of the screen works, I want to turn this into a media and print server using ubunto. I am not good with command lines so i prefer a GUI, How would I access it over the network from a windows sytem eiother 7 or 8
[01:14] <Bashing-om> fxmulder: One time text boot: boot to the grub menu, 'e' key for edit mode .. arrow down the the "linux" line and replace "quiet splash" with the term text . key combo ctl+x to continur the boot process to TTY1 .
[01:14] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: Can't do that with a *broken* screen
[01:15] <gebbione> sfranken, i am on list view ... btw this is what top shows http://paste.ubuntu.com/9874759/
[01:15] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: unless it has a VGA/DVI/HDMI port, just hook it up to a extern display
[01:15] <k1l_> MannyLNJ: attach an external monitor
[01:15] <MannyLNJ> unable to attach an external monitor. No HDMI port and the VGA port has glue in the holes.
[01:16] <gebbione> glue in the holes is brilliant
[01:16] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: lol nice
[01:16] <MannyLNJ> The right side of the screen works, Left bottom has the damage
[01:17] <gebbione> MannyLNJ,  replacing a screen might not be so complicated if worth it for the laptop
[01:17] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: Time to learn the CLI ;)
[01:18] <gebbione> btw sfranken does my top give you any clues?
[01:18] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: Just kidding, it would help though. AFAIK there's no way to do the install "remote", unless you can install a VNC server
[01:18] <sfranken> Sorry gebbione, can you resend the link? I lost it :$
[01:18] <gebbione> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9874759/
[01:18] <MannyLNJ> gebbione: I don't have cash for a new screen. sfranken I'm building the USB key now I'm hoping to be able to see enough to answer the prompts.
[01:19] <MannyLNJ> But once installed will I be able to get a GUI remotely?
[01:19] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: NO
[01:19] <sfranken> *No
[01:19] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: Install -> Login -> Install remote tools, enable access
[01:19] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: then you'll be able to graphically login remotely
[01:19] <MannyLNJ> sfranken: Thanks. I hope I will be able to get that far on this screen.
[01:20] <sfranken> gebbione: Top doesn't look weird to me, nothing really out of whack
[01:20] <sfranken> Except the 100% CPU usage for Nautilus
[01:20] <gebbione> the fact it is using all my ram sounds crazy
[01:21] <sfranken> gebbione: Tried killing Nautilus?
[01:22] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: No problems. Good luck!
[01:22] <gebbione> sfranken, i just did, i am trying to open the folder with Nemo and shoots to 100% CPU usage
[01:22] <sfranken> gebbione: Does Nemo create thumbnails of images automatically? That *might* be an issue here
[01:23] <gebbione> i guess it is very similar to Files
[01:23] <gebbione> i just use nemo cause Files has a weird problem with resizing columns
[01:24] <sfranken> gebbione: Does Nemo have a "Preview" option in the options? Like Files does
[01:24] <sfranken> If so, does that have a "Show thumbnails" option?
[01:26] <gebbione> it is weird
[01:26] <gebbione> when it goes to this folder it switches to gallery view
[01:26] <gebbione> and then i guess it gets stuck previewing
[01:26] <gebbione> but my default is list viewing :(
[01:26] <sfranken> gebbione: That's why I advised turning the previewing off ;)
[01:28] <gebbione> now i need to figure where to disable it from
[01:28] <sfranken> gebbione: Just out of curiosity.. what does "$ find <HDD drive> | wc -l
[01:28] <sfranken> " tell you?
[01:29] <stevecam> hey, i cant click on anything, my mouse is working, my keyboard is working, i dont want to reset, is there any suggestions?
[01:30] <sfranken> stevecam: Open a terminal or drop to another TTY (Control + Alt + F3 for example), login and type: "sudo pkill -u $(whoami)"
[01:30] <sfranken> stevecam: Without the " "
[01:31] <sfranken> It'll kill your processes and make it so you'll login again
[01:31] <stevecam> thanks but i have a process in a terminal i dont want to finish because its half way through a 4-hour job
[01:32] <sfranken> stevecam: That's probably the reason your mouse is unresponsive in the GUI
[01:32] <EriC^^> stevecam: you could try setsid unity, but under your own risk
[01:32] <sfranken> stevecam: Wait it out I'm afrai
[01:33] <gebbione> sfranken, disabling preview does not seam to make a difference
[01:33] <gebbione> fed up
[01:33] <stevecam> might just do that, something has stalled
[01:33] <gebbione> i ll use the folder from the shell :/
[01:33] <stevecam> just funny how its just mouse-clicking that has stopped working
[01:34] <OerHeks> stevecam, so you have a cpu-extensive job, and your system is not reacting as you want it to?
[01:34] <sfranken> stevecam: Tried reconnecting your mouse? That sometimes fixes my mouse-related issues
[01:34] <OerHeks> just be patient
[01:34] <stevecam> OerHeks, just copying a large file, sfranken yes
[01:34] <sfranken> gebbione: Weird.. Again, out of curiosity: What happens when you run "$ find <folder> | wc -l" from the terminal? I'm wondering how many items are in there
[01:35] <sfranken> stevecam: Ubuntu can get unresponsive when copying large files that takes forever
[01:35] <gebbione> sfranken,  still searching
[01:35] <sfranken> stevecam: be patient is the best advice I can give you
[01:35] <gebbione> i did it from /media
[01:35] <sfranken> gebbione: That's overkill, you should try from the HDD. Otherwise it'll give an answer which is useless
[01:36] <stevecam> patience was plan-b
[01:36] <sfranken> stevecam: plan-b just became plan-a by the looks of things?
[01:37] <stevecam> still plan a, plan be was only a draft
[01:37] <sfranken> stevecam: You *could* try "renice", but on your own risk!!!!!!111!!
[01:38] <gebbione> sfranken, it gives me 7
[01:38] <sfranken> gebbione: hmm... weird, I'd expect it to be in the thousands
[01:38] <sfranken> gebbione: How *big* are those files?
[01:38] <stevecam> 250gb
[01:38] <stevecam> oh whoops
[01:39] <sfranken> stevecam: 250GB/4 hours? That's 62.5GB/hour
[01:39] <sfranken> That's not a fast drive
[01:39] <gebbione> sfranken, biggest is<PHONE_NUMBER>
[01:39] <MannyLNJ> Hello again. I have the flash drive made and booted but I can't see the menu fully. Is there a site that shows all the options screen by screen or can someone tell me what options to choose to start the install?
[01:39] <sfranken> gebbione: I'm guessing that's bytes..
[01:39] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: 2nd option is install
[01:39] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: 1st is live image
[01:39] <gebbione> yes ... is is over 2.5 gb
[01:40] <MannyLNJ> sfranken: Thanks. I'l;l choose option 2 and go from there
[01:40] <sfranken> gebbione: 2.5 GB is something else than 2.5 bytes. But thanks for the info. That could be your issue.. a 2.5 GB file takes a long time to preview
[01:40] <stevecam> it's over USB, friend wanted me to backup his disks to a portable hard drive, tried putting the portable hard drive in my computer and copying it that way..... but the external reader does something funny with the data that ubuntu doesnt recognise
[01:40] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: No probs, good luck with the install
[01:40] <gebbione> sfranken, never had the problem before with similar ones
[01:41] <sfranken> gebbione: weird
[01:41] <sfranken> stevecam: Ah. USB is touch-or-go... You could try tarring it first, then copying it
[01:41] <sfranken> stevecam: IDK how much that'd save you though
[01:42] <gebbione> sfranken, anyway thanks for the help ... i ll be back if i feel like getting over this
[01:42] <stevecam> it works fine, just lost my mouse clicks :-(
[01:42] <sfranken> gebbione: No problems. Good luck!
[01:42] <sfranken> stevecam: Ah, I got carried away again lol
[01:43] <sfranken> stevecam: Anyway, renice. But on your own head be it bla bla disclaimer
[01:43] <stevecam> renice changes priorities doesnt it?
[01:43] <sfranken> stevecam: Yeah
[01:44] <stevecam> i dont think its that sort of issue, the service for the mouse has became faulty, the reswt of the machine is responsive, just no mouse clicks
[01:45] <sfranken> stevecam: Your 'cp' is getting a higher priority over your GUI, so a "renice" *should* (in theory) jumble it back the way it was
[01:45] <sfranken> stevecam: since that's what's causing your mouse shenanigans
[01:46] <dopesmoker> install windows
[01:46] <MannyLNJ> sfranken: is there a way to open a shell to view what IP the laptop is assigned during the install so I can reserve the same IP in my router?
[01:46] <stevecam> what am i renicing? i did some other process on the disk in a VM, got a big sluggish
[01:46] <Jef91> How do I specify in a control file to always install the i386 version of a package? Even if the system is amd64
[01:46] <stevecam> closed the VM and my clicks disappeared
[01:46] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: Control + Alt + T
[01:47] <sfranken> Jef91: apt-get install "package:i386" I believe
[01:47] <sfranken> stevecam: Ah.. you'r running a VM as well? hmm... renice unity/nautilus?
[01:47] <MannyLNJ> sfranken: nothing. I'll have to wait for install to finish
[01:47] <sfranken> stevecam: Now I'm not so sure anymore if it's a *wise plan*
[01:47] <Jef91> sfranken, no - when creating a package
[01:47] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: oh right, you're installing... Control + Alt + F2
[01:48] <Jef91> not when installing something from the repos
[01:48] <sfranken> Jef91: No idea then, sorry
[01:48] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: You'll be dropped to a terminal, you can get back with Control + Alt + F1 or Control + Alt + F7
[01:49] <gtuckerkellogg_> having the strangest experience with update-manager in my current 14.04 desktop
[01:49] <MannyLNJ> Thanks, i see the IP but the HW address is covered by the crack. I see the IP is not showsing assigned in the router yet so I can't pull it from that screen. I'll have to wait for the install to finish
[01:49] <stevecam> ahh, why didnt i think of this, just reloaded unity
[01:51] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: "$ ifconfig | grep HWaddr"
[01:51] <MannyLNJ> got it! ifconfig wlan0 showed me what I need in a spot I could read it!
[01:51] <gtuckerkellogg_> update-manager appears  to run without complaint, but the GUI is only the "Software Updater" menu bar; the actual GUI window is nowhere to be seen
[01:51] <sfranken> MannyLNJ: Nice!
[01:53] <MannyLNJ> sfranken: I'm continuing to watch the install.
[01:57] <gtuckerkellogg_> This is the *entire* update-manager window: http://i.imgur.com/TGfbuRM.png
[02:00] <bcgrown> My PC hangs during boot (after grub menu) with a blinking cursor. Same thing happens if I try to boot from a live  CD. what happened?? It was working fine yesterday... It's Xubuntu 14.04
[02:03] <Soamy> Hello does anyone know how to mount a partition in dracut emergency mode?
[02:05] <nirv> Hello, can anyone advice me: I use Ubuntu 14.10 64Bit, should I manually update kernel to 3.18? Why ubuntu-updater doesn't update kernel, are there any cautions?
[02:06] <sfranken> nirv: Usually a kernel update is more of an issue than it's worth
[02:06] <sfranken> nirv: Any reason you *need* 3.18?
[02:07] <marcelino671> Hello, I'm new in ubuntu, I have a notebook with 2.2Gh x3 and 4gb, but firefox use 25% of the processor and 15% of memory, with only 1 tab WTF
[02:07] <marcelino671> Chrome use less, but stay high
[02:07] <nirv> sfranken, you mean I might face some issues? I have some random system freezes caused by, I believe, Flash or Intel graphics.
[02:07] <sfranken> marcelino671: And what are you doing? How many extensions do you have?
[02:08] <sfranken> nirv: Updating a kernrel is only needed if you have *specific hardware* that's not otherwise supported
[02:08] <sfranken> nirv: Systemfreezes caused by Flash and/or Intel graphics won't go away with a newer kernel
[02:08] <marcelino671> sfranken: in firefox I only have Adblock, firebug and NoScript
[02:08] <sfranken> nirv: Are you running the Intel drivers?
[02:08] <nirv> sfranken, so kernel update won't fix any Intel/Flash-related issues?
[02:08] <sfranken> marcelino671: Adblock is a memoryhog ;0
[02:08] <nirv> sfranken, got it.
[02:09] <marcelino671> sfranken: I go test disabling it
[02:09] <sfranken> nirv: If you're running the close source Intel drive: remove that and use the built in (kernel) driver
[02:09] <sfranken> nirv: That's what I'm doing on my system76 laptop, works like a charm
[02:09] <sfranken> nirv: (and faster as well, added bonus!)
[02:09] <nirv> sfranken, yep, I've installed latest Intel Graphics Installer via hooked by distr name in /etc/lsb-release
[02:10] <sfranken> nirv: Any reason? 99/100 times you don't need the Intel driver
[02:10] <sfranken> nirv: Since Intel supplies the kernel with a driver of it's own.. It's edgecases where you need it though
[02:10] <sfranken> nirv: so your mileage may vary
[02:11] <nirv> sfranken, I don't though about it. What are the reason I might consider for Intel driver then?
[02:11] <nirv> sfranken, I didn't knew generic kernel driver provides same quality as Intel's one.
[02:12] <sfranken> nirv: the only thing the intel closed driver sometimes does is hardwaredecoding of videos
[02:12] <sfranken> nirv: But that's the only thing I can find
[02:13] <nirv> sfranken, hm ok, I'll try to remove Intel driver then. Should I just find "intel" in Synaptics and "Mark for removal"? Sorry I am just a beginner with linux.
[02:13] <sfranken> nirv: Synaptics?? Wow, that's old. You mean the Software center?
[02:13] <sfranken> nirv: and idk, I never used the Intel closed driver
[02:14] <OerHeks> synaptic is alive and working great
[02:14] <sfranken> :)
[02:14] <nirv> sfranken, I use Synaptic time from time since it shows ALL software I install, e.g. I can't fine nearly half of 3d-party apps I install via .deb's.
[02:14] <nirv> sfranken, ok thank you.
[02:15] <lenovo> hello everybody
[02:15] <sfranken> lenovo: Hey
[02:15] <lenovo> i am new whit this
[02:15] <sfranken> Welcome to the club then
[02:16] <lenovo> Tnx
[02:16] <lenovo> beautiful distro
[02:17] <sfranken> yup
[02:17] <sfranken> easy to use as well
[02:17] <lenovo> yea because of that i use it :D
[02:17] <sfranken> (even though I like a pure Gnome environment better, hence I use Ubuntu Gnome, Arch or Debian)
[02:17] <marcelino671> is posible to run photoshop with wine?
[02:17] <sfranken> marcelino671: Possible: perhaps, depends on the PS version
[02:18] <sfranken> But I wouldn't do it.. it's slow
[02:18] <divbyz0> anyone using .net with wine? i tried #winehq its dead
[02:18] <marcelino671> sfranken: CC version?
[02:18] <lenovo> you have another program like photoshop
[02:18] <OerHeks> marcelino671, check the wineHQ database
[02:18] <bazhang> !appdb | marcelino671
[02:18] <divbyz0> hi, i'm trying to install ms .net 4. through winefile and playonlinux I get error HRESULT 0x8007064f. i thought maybe i had to run as root but when i try sudo wine dotnetfile.exe it says you are not owner of .wine. ideas?
[02:18] <bazhang> divbyz0, /join #winehq after checking the appdb
[02:19] <bazhang> marcelino671, as well ^
[02:19] <sfranken> marcelino671: CC version won't really work I guess
[02:19] <sfranken> marcelino671: Tried GIMP yet? :P
[02:19] <divbyz0> bazhang, as previously stated, i have already and still am trying #winehq. what's the appdb?
[02:19] <SchrodingersScat> !winehq
[02:19] <SchrodingersScat> !appdb | divbyz0
[02:19] <OerHeks> http://appdb.winehq.org is the database with tests and solutions (maybe)
[02:20] <bazhang> that^
[02:20] <lenovo> you have inkscape program in menager its look like a CC
[02:20] <divbyz0> @CommonSense tried that horse hockey already
[02:20] <lenovo> Photoshop
[02:20] <sfranken> lenovo: Inkscape is for SVG images, GIMP is for general images and stuff
[02:20] <bazhang> cs6 works, to a degree
[02:21] <lenovo> sfranken: oh okey i didnt know
[02:21] <lenovo> tnx
[02:21] <sfranken> lenovo: no problem
[02:22] <lenovo> i just install Linux Mint 17.1 C
[02:22] <lenovo> its cool
[02:23] <anti-unix> where to download 14.10 dailybuild?
[02:23] <sfranken> anti-unix: You mean 15.04?
[02:24] <sfranken> lenovo: I don't really like mint, but that's me
[02:24] <lenovo> why ?
[02:24] <anti-unix> sfranken,  no,14.10
[02:24] <sfranken> anti-unix: There are no daily builds for 14.10
[02:24] <sfranken> anti-unix: Only for the current dev version, which is 15.04
[02:25] <sfranken> lenovo: I don't know. Cinnamon doesn't suit me, and the mint version I tried I couldn't upgrade to the next version. I had to reinstall
[02:25] <havoc_hive> I've never tried Cinnamon. Is there major difference?
[02:26] <sfranken> havoc_hive: Yeah, Taskbar on the bottom
[02:26] <anti-unix> sfranken,  i hope there still be dailybuild of 14.10,or i need speed a lot of time to update it
[02:26] <sfranken> havov_hive: It's a mix between Unity and KDE
[02:26] <redruum> sfranken: What about mate
[02:26] <lenovo> Its okey, for me, i tried manjaro but its not for me
[02:26] <sfranken> redruum: Nope, I don't like old tech
[02:26] <sfranken> lenovo: Which version of Manjaro? Kde?
[02:27] <lenovo> xfce
[02:27] <havoc_hive> sfranken: is that really it??
[02:27] <sfranken> havoc_hive: And different applications, but that's about it
[02:27] <sfranken> anti-unix: No, sorry, no up-to-date builds, sorry
[02:27] <redruum> sfranken: unity is new tech that's meant for tablets but used on desktops. Could see if they had a lot of tablets to install on.
[02:28] <havoc_hive> sfranken: you can install that on top of gnome right? or is it a replacment
[02:28] <sfranken> redruum: Eh, Unity works fine on desktops. Unity next is "responsive". Not that I follow, I use pure gnome
[02:28] <redruum> Xfce is great.
[02:29] <sfranken> havoc_hive: Gnome is a desktop environment in itself, but Unity is based on Gnome libraries. But you can install Cinnamon/mate over core Ubuntu
[02:29] <sfranken> havoc_hive: MATE is "old" gnome 2.x built from the ground up with Gnome 3 as a base
[02:29] <redruum> Xfce is fast and easy to configure but not to confusing like kde
[02:30]  * divbyz0 likeums chinese food and ribs
[02:31] <redruum> sfranken: mate started as old, but reinvented itself into New.
[02:31] <sfranken> Who cares what you use, as long as you enjoy using it and are cool with other people using what they like is my motto
[02:31] <sfranken> redruum: I know, but it's still the "old" gnome 2 desktop metaphore
[02:31]  * divbyz0 questions the hearts of passive-agressive extremists
[02:31] <sfranken> Not that there's anything wrong with that perse, it's just not for me
[02:32] <sfranken> But guys I've got to to. It's 3:30 here and I need sleep
[02:34] <lenovo> is here someone from serbia ?
[02:35] <willem> Hi, I am trying to disable the alt-f, alt-e, etc. shortcuts for the File, Edit, etc. menus. I tried to disable this by following https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1113420 which works for Nautilus but not for e.g. Chrome or the Atom editor. Anyone has any ideas?
[02:36] <anti-unix> i want developers build 14.10 up- to- date iso image
[02:37] <Bashing-om> anti-unix: There is none, the developers have moved on as 14.10 has been released .
[02:39] <anti-unix> 15.04 not sable at all
[02:39] <anti-unix> stable
[02:39] <anti-unix> i mean the dailybuild
[02:40] <Bashing-om> anti-unix: Up to date 14.10 : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop .
[02:41] <anti-unix> Bashing-om, i think it is not dailybuild
[02:41] <bazhang> anti-unix, its not,
[02:43] <Bashing-om> anti-unix: I say again .. there is no such thing as a daily build anymore for a released version .. 14.10 has been released and the developers are working a daily build for 15.04 .
[02:43] <bazhang> !15.10 | anti-unix
[02:43] <bazhang> augh
[02:44] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 anti-unix
[02:44] <anti-unix> and the installer of ubuntu hard to choose External hardware to install,like fedora you can choose witch harddisk to install
[02:44] <anti-unix> harddisk
[02:45] <teward> anti-unix: 14.10 is released as stable - it is no longer under development - 15.04 has daily images because it is under development.  (complaints you may have on Ubuntu are better suited for other channels, by the way)
[02:47] <anti-unix> it is not intuitive to install ubuntu on a external harddisk on ubuntu installer
[02:48] <bazhang> anti-unix, it is certainly possible, intuitive or not
[02:48] <anti-unix> bazhang not not intuitive
[02:49] <bazhang> anti-unix, thats not a support question though, you could file a wishlist bug on it
[02:49] <bazhang> anti-unix, other than that, complaints here are offtopic
[02:49] <anti-unix> bazhang, how
[02:49] <bazhang> !bug | anti-unix
[02:50] <anti-unix> ok
[02:54] <notmorpheus> testing a new computer, seeing scary issue
[02:55] <notmorpheus> can't restart vega z87 ftw
[02:55] <notmorpheus> it just shows code FF (fully functional) and fans etc stayy up
[02:55] <notmorpheus> shutdown/power up works
[02:55] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: whats scary??
[02:55] <notmorpheus> well at first i was getting instant FF at boot, LED code on this mobo. after looking that up, it can be something scary like a bad mobo
[02:56] <notmorpheus> but i reset CMOS and now i only see it when i try to "restart" vs shutdown/power on
[02:56] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: is there onboard reset and power buttons?
[02:56] <notmorpheus> there are, yes
[02:56] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: are they working
[02:57] <notmorpheus> let me check. i think they are. but ubuntu nullifies the reset button on the front of the case anyway (not sure why, but i read it handles it diff)
[02:57] <notmorpheus> i can reset from front case button when in bios
[02:58] <notmorpheus> whoa
[02:58] <notmorpheus> not what i expected. physical reset key on the mobo did appear to reset, but nothing came back up ever
[02:58] <notmorpheus> no video
[02:58] <notmorpheus> stuck in FF similar to if i software restart
[02:59] <notmorpheus> fans still running etc.
[02:59] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: interesting....
[03:00] <notmorpheus> havoc_hive: just reset from BIOS setup, let's see what that does.
[03:00] <notmorpheus> crap same thing. shows FF code on LED and fans etc are running but no video coming up
[03:01] <notmorpheus> feels like it's not faulty. someone just doesn't know how to reset proper
[03:01] <notmorpheus> maybe it's just not restarting HDMI properly
[03:01] <happyfr0gg> Adobe patches two Flash player 0-day vulnerabilities. Please refer to http://paste.ubuntu.com/9875639/ for more info.
[03:01] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: i doubt it... ubuntu 14.04?
[03:02] <notmorpheus> 14.04.1 + updated
[03:02] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: so if you go to shutdown in ubuntu, the computer screen darkens but never shuts down? fans still run and all right?
[03:02] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: was it working before you updating?
[03:03] <notmorpheus> havoc_hive: don't think so. i always update immediately. first boot of this box, new hardware, about 5 mins before i came on here
[03:04] <notmorpheus> restart appears to log out, i see blinking cursor for a moment, ubuntu logo, then blue screen when monitor thinks signal is dead
[03:04] <notmorpheus> mobo instead of blinking many things like when you boot from cold
[03:04] <notmorpheus> just shows FF. all fans still running
[03:04] <ghost_22> is therer anyway to factory restore a ubuntu
[03:04] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: im thinking %35 faulty board and the rest ubuntu. maybe trying using a live of sometype of flavor other than ubuntu and trying to restart the computer or shut down
[03:04] <ghost_22> factory restore my bad
[03:05] <notmorpheus> havoc_hive: 35% that 65% [what else]
[03:05] <notmorpheus> hehe
[03:05] <bazhang> ghost_22, reinstall from backups, yes
[03:05] <ghost_22> ok thanks
[03:05] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: the board has a systems check so when it says FF id trust it.
[03:05] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus:%65 ubuntu fualt
[03:05] <notmorpheus> yeah. unfort they spit out FF immediately on boot sometimes if something else is wrong
[03:05] <havoc_hive> not try that and get back to me... i gotta run really quick. good luck!
[03:06] <notmorpheus> also stands for f8@&@ FAILure
[03:06] <notmorpheus> ok thanks man
[03:07] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: yra try running a live of someother flavor and see what happens.if the same thing happens, then it could be the board. maybe try using the pref. that you need.
[03:07] <notmorpheus> i have win 7 i can use that to test reboot
[03:07] <notmorpheus> finally it will see some action
[03:07] <notmorpheus> it's so excited
[03:07] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: yea that would work great.
[03:09] <Prezident> Ubuntu-dev have any channel?
[03:09] <Prezident> #ubuntu-dev is empty :/
[03:15] <Guest61619> anyone know about minitube
[03:28] <havoc_hive> notmorpheus: anything yet?
[03:30] <Grady> hello, I am on my tablet, on my main laptop which runs ubuntu 14.04 I am trying to connect to and xfinity wifi hotspot.... with windows it automatically pops up a browser and lets me sign into my xfinity account, but nothing pops up like that on ubuntu... does anyone know how to connect to a hotspot?
[03:31] <dxerf> in system properties you can select your network and in there you can choose the wifi (if Ubuntu can find the wifi hotspot).
[03:32] <dxerf> I think in Unity you also have the network icon in the upper right hand corner so you can select that and choose the wifi hotspot
[03:34] <Grady> dxerf, yes, I selected the wifi hotspot and connected to it, but I cannot sign in... (it just says connected) whenever I try to load a browser page it says unable to connect, probably because I havent signed in (mind you it is open network from a local starbucks or something)
[03:34] <MannyLNJ> I have ubuntu installed now,. How do I enable SSH connections and remote desktop?
[03:35] <dxerf> Grady: ahhh
[03:36] <dxerf> MannyLNJ: to enable ssh connections:  sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[03:41] <oats> I am installing Ubuntu and have the options of drives /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, the former is 320.1 gb and the latter is 24 gb, which do I use?
[03:42] <consolidated> is this going to be the only OS on the computer?
[03:42] <oats> yes
[03:42] <oats> well, presently windows 8 is on it
[03:43] <MannyLNJ> dxerf: thanks. ssh server is installing. I'm setting up ubuntu to be a media/print server on a laptop with a damaged screen
[03:43] <pavlos> oats, which disk is faster?
[03:43] <MannyLNJ> dxerf: now that the install completed How do I start the ssh server?
[03:44] <oats> pavlos: no idea
[03:44] <EriC^^> MannyLNJ: sudo service ssh start
[03:45] <pavlos> oats, you can install on any ... my ubuntu system 14.04 uses only 6GB. You can use the big disk for data
[03:45] <Grady> dxerf: am I kinda screwed?
[03:45] <MannyLNJ> EriC^^: thanks. Says it already started. Do I need to make new passwords to ssh in with?
[03:45] <oats> pavlos: Why are there two partitions on mine? one so small and one so big?
[03:46] <oats> the smaller one has samsung in the name
[03:46] <EriC^^> MannyLNJ: you use the user's password to login, like ssh user@host , then you enter the user's password to login
[03:46] <MannyLNJ> EriC^^: never mind I'm in over ssh. Now to figure out remote desktop
[03:47] <pavlos> oats, no idea ... if you dont want 2 partitions use gparted and remove one or reformat the disk to one big partition
[03:47] <oats> pavlos: What do you recommend?
[03:47] <notmorpheus> havoc_hive: it's not Ubuntu :-(
[03:47] <pavlos> oats, if you will use ubuntu on that disk and nothing else, format the WHOLE disk
[03:48] <oats> ook
[03:49] <oats> pavlos: Unfortunately it appears I can only choose one of the two
[03:49] <oats> I guess I will go with 24 GB ATA SAMSUNG MZMPA024
[03:49] <pavlos> oats, that's fine
[03:50] <oats> ook thank you
[03:50] <pavlos> np
[03:52] <elvis_precisely> hi.  i have an .iso on a usb stick that i created with unetbootin.  i can install ubuntu but it does not boot alongside xp (the install method i chose)
[03:54] <oats> pavlos: also, I have no mouse cursor / control in the Ubuntu install. will it appear after it finishes?
[03:55] <MannyLNJ> I excecuted  sudo apt-get install  xrdp and was able to comnnect from my Windows system to my Ubunto system using remote desktop but all I get is a grey screen. Any idea what I overlooked?
[03:56] <oats> okay bigger problem "executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error."
[03:56] <oats> what do I do
[03:57] <elvis_precisely> i'll try wubi
[03:59] <oats> pavlos?
[03:59] <elvis_precisely> oh hey wow!  ubuntu has parted magic!
[03:59] <mini_> hello
[03:59] <mini_> how to install skype on xubuntu 14.04 LTS?
[03:59] <elvis_precisely> mini.  u "do" know that microsoft is listening to your skype calls hey?
[04:00] <mini_> i know
[04:00] <mini_> i don't care
[04:00] <mini_> i use if for business purposes and most of my contact sare using skype
[04:00] <mini_> i use if for business purposes and most of my contacts are using skype
[04:01] <Bashing-om> elvis_precisely: Bt aware 'WUBI' is no longer supported .. and has issues with UEFI firmware .
[04:01] <pavlos> oats, I thought sdb is the 24 GB What install are you doing?
[04:02] <notmorpheus> havoc_hive: same behavior whether restarting from win or even from bios (save + restart, for ex.)
[04:02] <elvis_precisely> okay thanks.  i shud be ok on this oldie dell pc
[04:02] <oats> pavlos: .. I may have chosen the wrong one
[04:02] <oats> I googled and it recommends I disable secure boot, am doing that now
[04:03] <pavlos> oats, from your previous post, sdb is the small disk
[04:03] <elvis_precisely> maybe time to just gpart the disk and install it that way
[04:03] <oats> yes, I thought I chose sdb
[04:03] <elvis_precisely> only reason im installing ubuntu is this book on learning the command line suggests installing ubuntu
[04:04] <elvis_precisely> http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php
[04:05] <MannyLNJ> I am using ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I can connect from a windows system using RDP but get a screen without any icons and just a X for the cursor. Any help to get my desktop to appear would be appreciated
[04:05] <Bashing-om> elvis_precisely: There is that 4 primary partition limit . Keep that in mind .
[04:07] <elvis_precisely> hmmm... yes.  noted.
[04:07] <oats> pavlos: it appears secureboot is already disabled
[04:07] <oats> retrying install selecting sdb
[04:09] <Jensit> heyho
[04:09] <Bashing-om> elvis_precisely: Possible that Windows XP has all the partitions in use, In MBR partitioning can not make more .. BUT .. make up a primary partition as "extended" and in that "extended" partition make up logical partitions. Ubuntu will happily install on logical partitions.
[04:12] <pavlos> oats, this may help ... http://www.howtogeek.com/175641/how-to-boot-and-install-linux-on-a-uefi-pc-with-secure-boot/
[04:13] <oats> pavlos: secure boot is off so apparently that's not the problem
[04:15] <oats> pavlos: Is there something fundamentally wrong with this whole system if install has so many problems?
[04:15] <pavlos> oats, win8 does some weird stuff hence I suggested wiping the whole disk and starting fresh
[04:16] <pavlos> oats, assuming you have no data to lose
[04:16] <oats> pavlos: everything I need backed up
[04:16] <pavlos> oats, so play with gparted, wipe the disk, format it ext4 and start the install
[04:17] <elvis_precisely> yes.  ubuntu did happily install in a logical part but she wouldn't boot.  i even tried plop disk from hirens
[04:17] <oats> pavlos: however, upon ubuntu install, where it would otherwise allow me to customize partitioning, I cannot, because the "advanced partitioning options" is only accessible by mouse and not by tab/arrow keys/space for some reason
[04:17] <oats> gparted?
[04:18] <elvis_precisely> adios
[04:18] <pavlos> oats, how about accepting the default partitioning and let it install. Tomorrow you can re-install and play with adv settings. No idea why the mouse or tab key does not work.
[04:18] <wachpwnski> Is there a reason I can't right click on docky and pull up chromium incognito? and it only says New Window? Is it something I need to add to the desktop file?
[04:19] <gtristan> Can I use this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa to install firefox 3.5 on precise ?
[04:19] <Guest7949> hey guys i am newbie can you tell me how  to access windows partition
[04:20] <oats> pavlos: am trying install again. "This computer currently has windows 8 and ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on it. What would you like to do? 1) Erase ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and reinstall 2) Erase everything and reinstall"
[04:20] <gtristan> I'm following this thing: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-firefox-35-on-ubuntu... and I'm not sure what to do next, I added the ppa and did sudo apt-get update, but it says there is no package firefox-3.5
[04:20] <pavlos> oats, I'd say 2
[04:21] <oats> pavlos: Why does it say ubuntu is on it? Does that mean the prev install filled up some of a partition?
[04:22] <skweek> gtristan, what's firefox 3.5?
[04:22] <pavlos> oats, no idea ... is there a way to boot off a usb stick that have ubuntu, and then use that to format the disk sdb and install there?
[04:22] <gtristan> skweek, firefox 35, in precise the default is 34
[04:22] <gtristan> skweek, 3.5 is latest stable I think
[04:23] <dresden> anyone here in India?
[04:23] <oats> pavlos: certainly not that I know of
[04:23] <somsip> !info firefox precise
[04:23] <notmorpheus> havoc_hive: fixed it!
[04:23] <oats> I am actually using ubuntu to install via the "try ubuntu" option
[04:23] <somsip> gtristan: strongly suggest 35 is standard for 12.04
[04:24] <gtristan> somsip, hmmm, maybe I need to update it... I've been avoiding 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[04:24] <pavlos> oats, not sure I understand your setup
[04:24] <somsip> gtristan: it's often the best way to upgrade
[04:24]  * gtristan wonders how to 'sudo apt-get upgrade only-firefox-and-its-deps-please'
[04:24] <oats> pavlos: from usb disc image you can go into install or you can go into ubuntu demo and install from there
[04:24] <somsip> gtristan: apt-get install firefox IIRC
[04:25] <notmorpheus> kuhuh
[04:25] <oats> where install is an app on the desktop of the demo
[04:25] <gtristan> somsip, alright thanks for the help man :)
[04:25] <somsip> gtristan: np - just update first and --dry-run if you want to be doubly sure
[04:25] <gtristan> somsip, it's indeed downloading 35
[04:25] <gtristan> I had 34 for a while now
[04:26] <pavlos> oats, so your system (desktop|laptop) is booting off a ubuntu CD and it shows on the desktop install Ubuntu. You clicked on that, you select sdb as the install disk and that does not work?
[04:26] <mach20x> anyone here seen this and has been working on a port for Ubuntu https://www.flux.utah.edu/project/a3
[04:27] <oats> pavlos: actually since the options I showed you 1) and 2), it is not letting me move on in install
[04:27] <oats> but yes
[04:27] <somsip> mach20x: I would suggest the contact link would be the best first point of enquiry
[04:28] <pavlos> oats, I hope someone else can help since I have no other idea
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> mach20x: seems like some sort of virtual honeypot
[04:29] <oats> pavlos: nevermind it let me move on now, maybe it will give the same
[04:29] <oats> error
[04:29] <oats> pavlos: Is english your first language?
[04:29] <pavlos> oats, nope,I'm Greek but live ins the US for 30 years
[04:30] <mach20x> lotuspsychje: how do you figure?
[04:30] <oats> pavlos: ook. Are you a computer developer or something?
[04:30] <pavlos> oats, since you're running off a CD, you should be able to start gparted and format your disk. the CD image runs on memory.
[04:31] <oats> pavlos: running off of USB actually
[04:31] <pavlos> oats, yes, my work is computers
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> mach20x: check this article: http://www.networkworld.com/article/2851394/security0/a3-advanced-adaptive-applications-the-end-of-server-malware-and-hacking.html
[04:31] <pavlos> oats, either CD on usb, right now it runs off memory so you can zap the disk using gparted
[04:31] <oats> The problem is I cannot use tackpad on my laptop to control cursor and so everything is difficult
[04:31] <oats> can I do without mouse in terminal?
[04:32] <pavlos> oats, how old is the laptop?
[04:32] <oats> 1-2 years
[04:32] <pavlos> oats, strange that touchpad is not recognized.
[04:33] <pavlos> oats, plug in an exteranl usb mouse
[04:33] <oats> I don't have an external mouse :p
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> mach20x: check the #ubuntu-server guys, someone might have use it..
[04:35] <oats> install almost done
[04:35] <oats> expecting the same error in
[04:35] <pavlos> oats, you can use the TAB key to go into menus and then other keys ALT-something for stuff but it will be rather difficult.
[04:35] <oats> 10
[04:35] <oats> 5
[04:35] <oats> 0
[04:35] <oats> okay maybe 20 more seconds
[04:36] <oats> pavlos: my laptop is touchscreen
[04:36] <pavlos> oats, how much ram on the laptop
[04:36] <oats> I disabled touchscreen driver many months ago
[04:36] <oats> for some reason touchscreen works now on ubuntu
[04:36] <oats> surprise
[04:36] <pavlos> oats, well, I dont have experience in that
[04:37] <oats> maybe I can use it instead of mouse
[04:37] <pavlos> oats, google 'touchscreen ubuntu' and you will find entries
[04:38] <mach20x> I'll do that, but I dropped it here because it would be really exciting to have this on end user electronics
[04:40] <oats> pavlos: I think ubuntu successfully installed
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> mach20x: looks pretty high-tech indeed, but snort/clamav/rkhunter can do many magic also
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> mach20x: there are few good ids/honeypots out there for ubuntu
[04:41] <pavlos> oats, take the usb stick out, reboot
[04:41] <oats> pavlos: mouse works now
[04:41] <oats> woo
[04:41] <oats> but laptop brightness/volume controls are not
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> mach20x: i recently found that latest linux trojan in clamav's database, so its pretty up to date
[04:42] <oats> how do I know that windows is gone?
[04:42] <oats> nevermind brightness and volume work now
[04:42] <skweek> oats, I use a touchscreen with ubuntu 14.10 and I notice that I fat finger a lot of things and rarely use it
[04:43] <oats> skweek: I disabled touchscreen on windows a while ago
[04:43] <oats> the screen gets very dirty
[04:44] <skweek> and I haven't found any gesture support, have you read anything?
[04:44] <pavlos> oats, what's the model of the tablet?
[04:44] <oats> pavlos: now my laptop thinks the USB is a computer. How do I make it normal USB again
[04:44] <oats> lenovo thinkpad s230u
[04:45] <BoojeWookeMan> How do I get data on size of packages installed in a fresh KU 1404? I got a 5G partition, & would like to remove some unnecessary packages. Thanks.
[04:45] <pavlos> oats, what? the usb has a live ubuntu image on it.
[04:45] <oats> pavlos: do I just delete everything on the usb?
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> BoojeWookeMan: bleachbit can remove alot of unused files
[04:46] <pavlos> oats, sure, you can re-format the usb to whatever fs you want.
[04:46] <oats> what is NFTS vs xFAT?
[04:47] <oats> in format options
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> BoojeWookeMan: check also df -h from terminal
[04:48] <BoojeWookeMan> lotuspsychje: Thx. I want to find out the _disk size_ used by all the packages, so I can find something unnecessary I can remove & free up a big chunk o space. Suggestions for getting a list of installed package sizes?
[04:49] <mach20x> Anyone know how to stop my mouse cursor from flickering? It's been like this for awhile, and it's a little slow at making window layer transitions
[04:50] <LinuxGold> sometimes documents can be outdated -- trying to figure out if Ubuntu have QT 5.4 packate for apt-get?
[04:50] <somsip> !info qt
[04:50] <somsip> !info qt5
[04:50] <somsip> LinuxGold: do you have a more full name for the package?
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> BoojeWookeMan: software centre and remove packages from there? dpkg should also be able to list them
[04:51] <pavlos> oats, you can start gparted and see all partitions in the drive. Hopefully sdb is linux and sda is win8

[05:05] <`hypermist`> I was trying to play a game (garrys mod) on my ubuntu when it said gpulock
[05:05] <oats> pavlos:only sda1, 2, and 5
[05:06] <`hypermist`> i've changed drivers now but idk. if it will make a difference.
[05:06] <oats> sda5 is subset of sda2
[05:09] <oats> pavlos: how do I know in gparted if sda is windows?
[05:10] <LinuxGold> qmake -v
[05:10] <LinuxGold> oops
[05:12] <EriC^^> oats: it's most likely ntfs
[05:13] <EriC^^> oats: type sudo parted -l
[05:13] <MrAristo> Is using "watch -n 1 cat /proc/net/wireless" the best way to monitor your signal from command line?  Or is there a way to specifically (and only) show "speed"?
[05:14] <bruxC> Hello, was hoping to get some support with mounting a ntfs in fstab. its for a plex server and permissions aren't necessary for me.
[05:14] <oats> pavlos: thank you greatly for all your help
[05:14] <oats> EriC^^: I cannot distinguish which one is Windows
[05:14] <oats> I thought my new linux install overwrote windows
[05:15] <miklcct> oats: use "sudo blkid /dev/sd??" to view the volume labels
[05:15] <oats> two question maeks
[05:15] <oats> ?
[05:15] <miklcct> ? stands for any character
[05:15] <LinuxGold> !info QAbstractMessageHandler
[05:15] <EriC^^> MrAristo: you can use tail -f /proc/net/wireless
[05:16] <oats> the uuid's say nothing about the OS
[05:16] <EriC^^> MrAristo: or tailf /proc/net/wireless
[05:17] <MrAristo> EriC^^, For some reason using tail -f spaced my mind.  Thanks.
[05:17] <miklcct> How about the type
[05:17] <miklcct> it should show the FS type
[05:17] <EriC^^> oats: yes, take a look at the fs type
[05:18] <oats> both have number 1 as ext4 and number 5 as linux-swap(v1)
[05:18] <oats> what does this mean
[05:18] <EriC^^> it's a linux partition
[05:19] <EriC^^> oats: please pastebin sudo parted -l
[05:20] <bruxC> could i get some help with how to fstab a sdb1 with adequate permissions to accomodate my plex server so i may use the media thats on this drive?
[05:20] <EriC^^> MrAristo: no problem
[05:20] <bruxC> im new to linux and could use the help.
[05:20] <EriC^^> bruxC: what permissions do you need?
[05:20] <MeRJS> hello
[05:20] <bruxC> i wouldn't mind if it was full permissions for everyone.
[05:21] <bruxC> it's in a lab and its content i wouldn't mind be compromised.
[05:21] <bruxC> being*
[05:21] <oats_ubuntu> EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/0vJ9dHpB
[05:21] <oats_ubuntu> first time accessing freenode on Ubuntu
[05:23] <EriC^^> bruxC: you can give everybody read access if you'd like, do they need write access?
[05:23] <bruxC> i guess not.
[05:23] <bruxC> i mean it would be write access for adding new content
[05:23] <oats_ubuntu> eric: any idea?
[05:23] <EriC^^> bruxC: who'd you like to own the files?
[05:23] <bruxC> and i have multiple devices that would like to tap into the drive
[05:23] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: 1 sec
[05:24] <bruxC> eventually i'll be having the plex server oversee the drive permanently
[05:25] <oats_ubuntu> ook
[05:25] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: looks like there are 2 linux installations
[05:25] <oats_ubuntu> eric bah how did that happen
[05:25] <oats_ubuntu> is windows completely gone
[05:25] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: are you in ubuntu right now?
[05:25] <EriC^^> nevermind
[05:25] <EriC^^> type df -h
[05:26] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: it looks like it
[05:26] <EriC^^> bruxC: who'd you like to be the owner of the files?
[05:26] <bruxC> plexserver
[05:26] <oats_ubuntu> http://pastebin.com/eeSBEV1Y
[05:26] <EriC^^> the user called plexserver?
[05:27] <bruxC> user
[05:27] <bruxC> is the name
[05:28] <EriC^^> ok type id user and paste here
[05:28] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: how about "fdisk -l /dev/sd?"
[05:29] <bruxC> uid=1000(user) gid=1000(user) groups=1000(user),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),110(lpadmin),111(sambashare)

[05:29] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: not you :)
[05:29] <oats_ubuntu> ook haha
[05:29] <EriC^^> bruxC: type sudo blkid and get the ntfs partition's uuid
[05:30] <bruxC>   /dev/sdb1: LABEL="PLEX" UUID="1AA4CA3AA4CA1861" TYPE="ntfs"
[05:30] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: did you have important data on the windows partition?
[05:31] <EriC^^> bruxC: where do you want to mount it? do you need it mounted at boot time automatically?
[05:31] <bruxC> preferably automatically
[05:31] <oats_ubuntu> EriC^^:  in the file system browser on Ubuntu, under devices, I have Computer ( / ) and then another thing "20 GB volume" that's /media/oats/a64a1111-a740-4d54-b0d6-6a5d8974c245
[05:31] <bruxC> in case the server reboots. i'd like to make sure the files can be available for the plex server
[05:31] <oats_ubuntu> whose contents are identical to Computer /
[05:32] <oats_ubuntu> and no I backed everything I needed from windows up
[05:32] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: Can you pastebin the result of "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sd?"
[05:33] <oats_ubuntu> http://pastebin.com/vDdD7bkL
[05:34] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: please note that there is only one ? in the command
[05:34] <EriC^^> bruxC: UUID=1AA4CA3AA4CA1861 /path/to/mountpoint  ntfs-3g   defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=022,fmask=133    0       0
[05:34] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: please try again
[05:34] <EriC^^> bruxC: type sudo nano /etc/fstab and add that line, replace /path/to/mountpoint with the mountpoint
[05:34] <bruxC> will do.
[05:35] <bruxC> where's a good mount point? /media/windows ?
[05:35] <bruxC> also, once i create this new mountpoint folder, do i need to chmod it?
[05:35] <oats_ubuntu> http://pastebin.com/EDQ9G99B
[05:36] <ovrflw0x> why do fonts get thin and thick (dark) automatically on ubuntu 14.10?
[05:36] <EriC^^> yeah, chown it to your user:group and chmod it to 755
[05:36] <EriC^^> bruxC: ^
[05:36] <oats_ubuntu> EriC^^: Any idea?
[05:36] <ovrflw0x> why do fonts get thin and thick (dark) automatically on ubuntu 14.10?  i.e. it happens sometimes when i poweroff/on the laptop
[05:36] <oats_ubuntu> miklcct: sent
[05:36] <bruxC> chmod 755 /media/windows
[05:36] <bruxC> is that right?
[05:36] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: I think you have accidentally deleted the windows partition when installing linux
[05:36] <bruxC> syntax isn't my strong suit.
[05:36] <fspkwon91> I've got to say I havent added any repositories and the software is working for me and i have just about everything for everything installed
[05:37] <bruxC> strength* nor is english for that matter.
[05:37] <oats_ubuntu> miklcct: That was intentional
[05:37] <EriC^^> bruxC: yes
[05:37] <oats_ubuntu> but why are there two
[05:38] <fspkwon91> darktable gets some good sharp images
[05:38] <bruxC> or is it chown 755 /media/windows EriC^^ ?
[05:38] <fspkwon91> and ive gotta say the gimp plugins make it damn near photoshop
[05:38] <oats_ubuntu> Under devices I have "Computer" which is root / and I think it's mine, and then I have another device called "20 GB volume" at /media/oats/a64a1111-a740-4d54-b0d6-6a5d8974c245
[05:38] <seronis> i have 1000s of files that i extracted from an old windows *.zip.  all of the filenmes came out as    path\to\blah\realname.ext  instead of  putting the files into directories.  is there a command i can type that will rename/move them all in one batch ?
[05:38] <EriC^^> bruxC: no, chown user:user /media/windows
[05:38] <oats_ubuntu> their contents look identical
[05:39] <ovrflw0x> why does font rendering changes and gets back to default by itself during reboots? on ubuntu 14.10
[05:39] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: you have two hard disks
[05:39] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: i guess you installed linux on both partitions, you also have 2 swap partitions
[05:39] <bruxC> :) thank you, rebooting and crossing my fingers.
[05:39] <oats_ubuntu> What does that mean / what are the implications?
[05:40] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: you may try to boot to another hard disk and see
[05:40] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: well for 1 i think you should switch the linux installations, as you're using the big disk for "/" right now, i think it's better as a separate /home partition and the other as "/"
[05:40] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: if grub is installed on both mbr's switch the boot order in the bios
[05:40] <bruxC> ugh. Stupid plex.
[05:40] <oats_ubuntu> EriC^^: Should I delete one?
[05:41] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: yes
[05:41] <oats_ubuntu> I'm half asleep so not too good at parsing jargon :p
[05:41] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: are you sure that the OS installed on the other disk is not useful to you>
[05:41] <EriC^^> boot into the other one, and delete the big disk and use it as a separate /home
[05:41] <oats_ubuntu> I already installed my things and updated the one I'm on
[05:42] <oats_ubuntu> miklcct: Not that I know of; my goal was to remove windows and install ubuntu
[05:42] <oats_ubuntu> I don't know why I'm on a 290 gb partition
[05:42] <oats_ubuntu> Is that bad?
[05:42] <oats_ubuntu> is there any way I can shrink the parition I'm presently on and delete the other 20 gb one?
[05:42] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: not really, are both hdd's?
[05:43] <oats_ubuntu> EriC^^: How would I know that? :p
[05:44] <EriC^^> bruxC: no problem :)
[05:44] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: I suggest you to move your linux installation to /dev/sdb, and make a /home and swap on /dev/sda
[05:44] <oats_ubuntu> They're all from the same drive
[05:44] <oats_ubuntu> miklcct: How would I do all that?
[05:44] <oats_ubuntu> is sdb the "20 GB volume" it shows under devices?
[05:44] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: i mean is one an ssd?
[05:45] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: yes
[05:45] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: I don't know if your 20 GB drive is an SSD or not
[05:45] <ovrflw0x> anyone?
[05:45] <oats_ubuntu> how would I replace the contents of that one with the install I'm using  and make a /home and swap on a /dev/sda
[05:45] <oats_ubuntu> EriC^^: erm, I'm not sure
[05:45] <ovrflw0x> why does font rendering changes and gets back to default by itself during reboots? on ubuntu 14.10... i booted into 14.10 ubuntu and found that font look "thinner"!
[05:45] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: that's more trouble than it's worth
[05:46] <EriC^^> just boot the other installation, and install your stuff there
[05:46] <EriC^^> you can get a list of the packages you installed and auto install them there
[05:46] <oats_ubuntu> What is the downside of me using this install?
[05:46] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: I would instead use the following method
[05:46] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: nothing, you can remove the other hdd and use it for something else
[05:46] <ovrflw0x> why does font rendering changes (fonts become thin) and gets back to default (thick) by itself during reboots? on ubuntu 14.10... i just booted into 14.10 ubuntu and found that font look "thinner"!
[05:47] <miklcct> 1: boot from USB
[05:47] <oats_ubuntu> also I don't remember installing ubuntu twice, what if the other install is some failed corrupted install
[05:47] <miklcct> 2. mount the partitions
[05:47] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: if both are hdd's i dont think it matters
[05:47] <miklcct> 3. do a "cp --recursive --preserve=all"
[05:47] <miklcct> 4. modify "/etc/fstab"
[05:47] <miklcct> 5. chroot and install-grub
[05:47] <miklcct> done
[05:48] <oats_ubuntu> miklcct I really don't understand all that
[05:48] <oats_ubuntu> what does eachs tep do, and how do I modify /etc/fstab?
[05:48] <oats_ubuntu> Eric^^: Aren't they just paritions of the same memory?
[05:49] <miklcct> What it does is to dump the contents from the old disk to the new disk, preserving everything
[05:49] <miklcct> modifying /etc/fstab and installing grub is to boot the new partition
[05:50] <oats_ubuntu> miklcct: Why do you recommend switching away from the disk I'm presently using?
[05:50] <oats_ubuntu> I mean how do I modify fstab/ what do I do in the file
[05:51] <oats_ubuntu> and what do I chroot
[05:52] <ovrflw0x> why does font rendering changes (fonts become thin) and gets back to default (thick) by itself during reboots? on ubuntu 14.10... i just booted into 14.10 ubuntu and found that font look "thinner"!
[05:52] <oats_ubuntu> EriC^^: You still here?
[05:53] <oats_ubuntu> wb mijlcct
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> !fstab | oats_ubuntu
[05:54] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: check your garfix card driver loaded
[05:54] <EriC^^> garfix
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: in additional drivers section, or sudo lshw -C video
[05:55] <EriC^^> is that a typo?
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> grafix :p
[05:55] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: I suggest you use different disks for system and data
[05:56] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: It is to reduce the chance of damaging the data if the system is broken
[05:56] <oats_ubuntu> miklcct: Isn't the data on the system though? What do you mean?
[05:56] <oats_ubuntu> Can you explain how these are broken up?
[05:56] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: You are currently having /home in /
[05:56] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: It is dangerous, the risk of losing data due to system malfunction is high
[05:56] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, fonts look thin only in "nautilus"
[05:57] <eltigre> My PC just failed, and I need to access an encrypted home dir via USB... how can I do that?
[05:57] <ovrflw0x> everywhere else is ok
[05:57] <eltigre> ecryptfs-recover-private doesn't seem to do anything except mount the same placeholder under /tmp/
[05:58] <oats_ubuntu> miklcct: But where else would /home/ be in? How would copying it to a smaller parition change any of that?
[05:58] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: he means having it on the larger disk
[05:59] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, not in nautilus but "Files  3.10" on ubuntu 14.10
[05:59] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: from a sane perspective "/" needs about 7gb and will grow with installed programs to about 10gb tops, for a desktop 20gb is plenty enough
[05:59] <oats_ubuntu> EriC^^: I don't understand; what is mik talking about with the security risks then
[06:00] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: it makes sense to have "/" as the 20gb disk and home on a separate disk thats way larger
[06:00] <EriC^^> ( cause it will have all your personal files, music, etc. etc. )
[06:01] <LinuxGold> !info qt5.4
[06:01] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: he is talking about the filesystem getting corrupted, if it's on another filesystem in case your "/" gets corrupted it will survive
[06:01] <oats_ubuntu> ook I see
[06:01] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, ?
[06:02] <EriC^^> oats_ubuntu: most people use 1 partition as though, ext4 is pretty good
[06:02] <EriC^^> wont hurt to have a separate /home though, and you can share it between distros, it's easier to reinstall, etc. etc.
[06:02] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: did you check your graphics driver yet?
[06:02] <oats_ubuntu> EriC^^: so, is the idea that, I put ubuntu on the 20 gb one and mount its home folder to a directory in the 290 gb partition?
[06:02] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, it is open source radeon driver
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: other drivers show up your list?
[06:03] <miklcct> oats_ubuntu: That's exactly what I meant
[06:03] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, driver=radeon
[06:04] <ovrflw0x> driver=i915
[06:04] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: can you check additional drivers (hardware) icon to see if other drivers list?
[06:05] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, i don't think this is drivers issue as everywhere else except file browser fonts look ok
[06:05] <oats_ubuntu> ook
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: when did your font start to show 'thin'? after update?reboot?
[06:05] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, after reboot
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: try create a new user and test nautilus font from there plz
[06:06] <oats_ubuntu> What is the use of vim and emacs in linux? Is it a programming environment?
[06:06] <ovrflw0x> ok brb
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> !emacs | oats_ubuntu
[06:06] <WangXufeng> I ‘don't know how to use  ibus to input pinyin.I use sougou pinyin in windows.
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> !info vim | oats_ubuntu
[06:08] <oats_ubuntu> Why do people use vim and emacs instead of netbeans and eclipse and gui editors alike?
[06:09] <lotuspsychje> oats_ubuntu: everyone has another purpose with packages
[06:09] <oats_ubuntu> What do you mean?
[06:09] <Stanley00> oats_ubuntu: because they like it. Nexttime, if you see one, just ask them why :P
[06:09] <lotuspsychje> oats_ubuntu: meaning users choose their own flavors, for different kind of goals
[06:09] <somsip> oats_ubuntu: and these sort of questions are better in #ubuntu-offtopic as they are not support questions
[06:11] <oats_ubuntu> ook thank you
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: any changes?
[06:12] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, in guest account fonts look OK and now fonts in default account also started looking ok
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> !yay | ovrflw0x
[06:12] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, but fonts changes by itself in default account!
[06:13] <ovrflw0x> lotuspsychje, as i said this problem occurs sometimes during reboot
[06:13] <miklcct> !ubottu
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: not sure what causes this, check your logs maybe
[06:13] <ovrflw0x> like which log
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: syslog, dmesg
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: wich ubuntu version was this again?
[06:14] <ovrflw0x> 14.10
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> ovrflw0x: you tested 14.04 for same issues?
[06:14] <ovrflw0x> no
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> i reccomend it
[06:15] <ovrflw0x> nah
[06:15] <miklcct> Is it possible to synchronise outlook.com contacts in Ubuntu 14.10?
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> !info thunderbird | miklcct
[06:19] <dw1> hey, what's the best gui tool to view files being opened and closed?
[06:20] <miklcct> lotuspsychje: I'm using Thunderbird as the mail client, but what I want is the contacts.
[06:21] <wafflej0ck_> miklcct, you need to export the contacts into CSV or VCF something that can be imported into other programs in most cases, typically unless someone hacks something together MS doesn't release software for Linux (skype aside)
[06:22] <somsip> miklcct: as above, eg: http://support.real-time.com/tbird/outlook_import.html
[06:22] <miklcct> wafflej0ck_: I am synchronsing the contacts among my devices and I would like to find a way to also synchronise it onto my Ubuntu laptop
[06:25] <roo79x> hi all I have a dell latitude e5410 running xubuntu 14.04 64bit I have an issue with the alpsPS/2 Alps dualpoint touchpad, if I tap on the touchpad it "right clicks" instead of left clicks?
[06:25] <wafflej0ck_> miklcct, yea you're probably looking at third party sync solutions then, here's one I found on a quick Googling about Linux and contact sync with outlook https://www.memotoo.com/ they have a free version so you could give it a shot before you buy if you need it to sync more than 50 contacts
[06:26] <ZA> Morning / Evening. Can anyone advice me on how to change the boot order on Linux? so to have the Windows duel boot 1st, and also how to turn off the boot menu for the Linux partition

[06:29] <jaypro> hey guys...i'm trying to install vid.stab. what directory is ffmpeg installed? i need to configure it
[06:33] <EriC^^> jaypro: type whereis ffpmeg
[06:35] <jaypro> EriC^^ what i got was "ffpmeg:"
[06:35] <EriC^^> jaypro: it's not installed i think
[06:35] <EriC^^> jaypro: ubuntu uses a different one av video something
[06:35] <somsip> jaypro: what version of ubuntu? It changed from ffmpeg to avconv recently
[06:35] <EriC^^> avsomething
[06:35] <somsip> !find avconv
[06:36] <somsip> libav-tools in the parent package
[06:37] <jaypro> im actually on debian and assumed it would be in the same directory
[06:37] <somsip> jaypro: then we can't help you, and that's why - assumptions between ubuntu and debian often do not work

[06:38] <kokut> Hello, anyone knows how to kill some process that is not being listed in the system monitor? Because I'm running apache on this machine and its stuck on an infinite loop, using 100% of my CPU
[06:39] <somsip> kokut: sudo killall apache2
[06:40] <kokut> somsip: thanks man, it turns out firefox was involved too somehow
[06:40] <somsip> kokut: if firefox was calling a page running on apache, that would make sense
[06:40] <kokut> Well i thought the processing was going to be made by apache process not by firefox
[06:43] <theadmin> kokut: Well sure but a badly-written page may well cause a browser to hang.

[06:49] <`hypermist`> somsip, *
[06:52] <somsip> `hypermist`: busy now - maybe someone else can help, but post the real version of the drivers - don't guess
[06:54] <roo79x> hi all I have a dell latitude e5410 running xubuntu 14.04 64bit I have an issue with the alpsPS/2 Alps dualpoint touchpad, if I tap on the touchpad it "right clicks" instead of left clicks? my settings -> mouse and touchpad http://i57.tinypic.com/33cmzh5.png

[07:39] <miklcct> Sorry I have missed the conversation before as I didn't set up quassel core
[07:39] <miklcct> What's the way to synchronise outlook.com contacts into Ubuntu?
[07:41] <somsip> miklcct: maybe check the logs as it's a bit old now.
[07:42] <somsip> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2015/01/26/%23ubuntu.txt
[07:50] <miklcct> What I googled on the web about Thunderbird and outlook.com and found a link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1023409
[07:50] <miklcct> That means should I 1. Use another mail client, or 2. move all the contacts back to Google?
[07:53] <cyborg4> Hey everyone! Have a question about the command line. Is there any way to have a command that runs, and then as soon as it exits to start it again?
[07:54] <LMNOP> yea just run it again
[07:54] <Stanley00> cyborg4: or put it in while : loop
[07:55] <LMNOP> probably easier my way
[07:55] <somsip> cyborg4: yes, but to what end?
[07:55] <adrian_1908> wouldn't && work?
[07:56] <Stanley00> cyborg4: there's also watch command, if you need *watch* the output
[07:57] <cyborg4> I have a server program which is fairly prone to crashes. I just want it to run again when it terminates.
[07:57] <cyborg4> It'll run fine for hours on end, so I want it to happen programmatically so I don't have to sit there and watch it.
[07:57] <Stanley00> cyborg4: then just put it in a while loop
[07:57] <adrian_1908> infinite loop it is then :D
[07:58] <cyborg4> So, a while loop in an sh file would do the trick? it waits for command execution?
[07:58] <somsip> cyborg4: use a supervisor
[07:59] <somsip> !info supervisor | cyborg4
[07:59] <Stanley00> cyborg4: yep, something as *while : ; do your_command; done*, and when your_command finish/crash, it run your_command again
[07:59] <LMNOP> yeah ok well
[07:59] <somsip> cyborg4: eg, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-manage-supervisor-on-ubuntu-and-debian-vps
[07:59] <LMNOP> what if supervisor crashed
[08:00] <LMNOP> now your in same situation
[08:00] <somsip> LMNOP: applies to anything, so moot point. What if the server crashed? What if the network went down, etc etc ad nauseum
[08:01] <LMNOP> i guess you get my point yep
[08:01] <LMNOP> how do you know it is more likely his app will crash than supervisor
[08:02] <somsip> cyborg4: what server program is it that is prone to crashing? The last time I had that question, someone was running mysqld without enough RAM and was crashing due to OOM errors. Which showed the problem he was trying to solve was not the right problem to solve...
[08:02] <cyborg4> somsip: minetestserver
[08:03] <cyborg4> So this would work, yeah:
[08:03] <cyborg4> #!/bin/sh
[08:03] <cyborg4> while :
[08:03] <cyborg4> do
[08:03] <cyborg4>  /CarmaServ/bin/minetestserver
[08:03] <cyborg4> done
[08:03] <somsip> cyborg4: ok - no experience of that but if it's official I would imagine it should be robust so you may have another problem
[08:03] <LMNOP> youcould just restart the servier periodically
[08:03] <LMNOP> but whatevs
[08:04] <cyborg4> The server restarts every day automatically
[08:04] <somsip> cyborg4: so what is the real problem - crashes or daily restart?
[08:04] <cyborg4> Crashes. But they're caused by a known bug in the server software.
[08:06] <somsip> cyborg4: this would be more flexible. Set it up like this, and a cronjob to check the server is running or service restart. https://gist.github.com/MarkTraceur/998260
[08:07] <cyborg4> somsip: It's not a service at all, it's a binary
[08:07] <somsip> cyborg4: as above
[08:21] <liath> hey there.  could anyone tell me if it is possible to have two interfaces with the same gateway?  I know about all the quirks, but I'm doing it so I can seed linux images (and download a few more) but need to be able to use one NIC purely for torrent traffic
[08:22] <liath> that way i can catch it all and make sure it goes into a low priority queue on my router
[08:27] <shadows> This runs detached: ffmpeg -i [input] [parameters] -y [output] </dev/null >/dev/null 2> ffmpeg.log &
[08:27] <shadows> I want to remove the log file after ffmpeg is complete. The following will not detach. Any ways to do this on the command line without having lots of shell-scripts. ffmpeg -i [input] [parameters] -y [output] </dev/null >/dev/null 2> ffmpeg.log && rm ffmpeg.log &
[08:28] <shadows> I've tried wrapping it in parenthesis, didn't do any good.
[08:29] <somsip> shadows: wouldn't image && will work like that is it requires the output of the first to trigger the second, and you can't run the first in background with ffmpeg & && rm log for obvious reasons
[08:29] <somsip> *imagine
[08:30] <shadows> I see
[08:31] <decci> I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and I am trying to understand what is www-data all about?
[08:31] <somsip> decci: that's a statement rather than a question. what do you need to know

[08:32] <afidegnum> hello, I have installed gmp and php5-gmp but I am still getting ... the requested PHP extension gmp is missing from your system
[08:32] <afidegnum> can anyone please help?
[08:33] <somsip> decci: add user to www-data group, make /var/www sticky for groups
[08:33] <somsip> decci: eg http://serverfault.com/questions/6895/whats-the-best-way-of-handling-permissions-for-apache2s-user-www-data-in-var

[08:38] <silviu> Hi guys. there is any way I get gateway ip address and  dns ips with vsphere sdk?
[08:43] <decci> Any internet monitoring tool available for Linux e.g which user has consumed how many data based on ip address?
[08:44] <aeonltd> decci: i think if you could find something for your router that does that it may be more useful
[08:45] <aeonltd> decci: unless your pc is your router...
[08:45] <decci> aeonltd: Does it mean we dont have any avl tool..
[08:46] <decci> aeonltd: We have around 20 user. They have internet connection and we work based on firewall. I want to know who consumed how many data. based on client side activity how shall I check that or monitor that
[08:50] <agustin_mark_kev> hello on quick question how can i use gnu parallel and proz sorry for asking here
[08:50] <liath> decci, you'd have to have a good router. then soem decent monitoring tools, somethign like bandwidthd should work
[08:51] <agustin_mark_kev> i typed parallel proz "link here" but it says warning input is read from the terminal only experts do this on purpose press ctrl-d to exit
[08:51] <decci> liath: I am aware of bandwidthd but it shows the certain logs of users
[08:51] <aeonltd> decci: ok, unless traffic is run through your pc i don't think it's possible. but i'm kinda a noob at networking
[08:52] <agustin_mark_kev> i tried reading the man page but im quite confused
[08:52] <aeonltd> decci: you could monitor YOUR data, and collate data from all pcs using individual software. that sounds more possible
[08:52] <agustin_mark_kev> i read the wiki examples i cant understand
[08:52] <agustin_mark_kev> anyone please
[08:53] <JustSighDudes> jesus almost identified to nickserv here
[08:53] <liath> that is why I suggested running bandwithd on the router. you could then tell who uses how much data, when, etc

[08:58] <Ash12345> I have wordpress site .... I want to upload file in my web hosting directory with www-data user privilege
[08:58] <aeonltd> `hypermist`: well what card do you have?
[08:59] <`hypermist`> gts 450 nvidia
[08:59] <DJones> Ash12345: Just make sure you change that password that you've posted in the channel
[08:59] <`hypermist`> DJones, i decided to see if it was real
[08:59] <`hypermist`> i don't think it was
[08:59] <`hypermist`> cause i tried to do the good old ghost test
[08:59] <`hypermist`> xD
[08:59] <`hypermist`> not being mean but im just saying
[09:01] <`hypermist`> aeonltd, gts 450 nvidia. i couldn't use the .run file cause it would say X server running then Nouveau was stopping it after i stopped the X server
[09:04] <aeonltd> `hypermist`: i think you may need to uninstall nouveau first; nouveau is the open source nvidia driver
[09:05] <`hypermist`> i decided to use apt-get install nvidia-current in the end so idk if that done anything

[09:26] <abailarri> Hello. I created a daemon with upstart and I putted on /etc/init path. I started and when I execute initctl list | sort I see myservice stop/waiting, and I can't stop or restart
[09:26] <abailarri> Any suggestions please?
[09:28] <pseudonymous> OK - I'm struggling with ~/.xsession-errors eating up ALL available diskspace if I a) leave mumble running and b) have suspended at some point. - It keeps spawning pulseaudio related errors. Is there a way to just not have pulse or *anything* logging to .xsession-errors ? It can't be intended that the damned thing chugs through 74GB of space in the space of a few hours.
[09:29] <pseudonymous> abailarry: way too little information - you should probably paste your upstart script (paste.ubuntu.com). Even so, maybe you should just write a regular init script. Ubuntu will be switching to systemD soon anyway
[09:45] <MrN00Bs> is anyone using Macbook pro here ?

[09:49] <doomlord_> ii am
[09:49] <MrN00Bs> doomlord_, which mac ?
[09:50] <doomlord_> but not wth ubuntu on it. (ubuntu on desktop).. MBPR 13" not iris pro, just base
[09:50] <MrN00Bs> doomlord_, PM ?
[09:51] <doomlord_> i'm not so gung ho about splitting the laptop ssd to install linux
[09:51] <doomlord_> sure PM
[09:51] <doomlord_> i would like to though if there's an ultra small distro
[09:52] <doomlord_> i frequently ssh into my desktop linux box, and use synergy between them
[09:52] <aeon-ltd> doomlord_: you can cut linux down to a few gb if you want
[09:53] <aeon-ltd> besides... VMs!!!!
[09:54] <doomlord_> supposedly one can run an xwindow server on the mac
[09:54] <doomlord_> and run a desktop machines' windows on the mac?
[09:54] <aeon-ltd> doomlord_: if you've got the x11 application
[09:54] <doomlord_> basically my reason for owning a mac is to actually run OSX (eg , ability to use iOS SDK)
[09:55] <aeon-ltd> doomlord_: i'm running arch in a VM now, just under 2GB storage space used
[09:55] <doomlord_> ok
[09:55] <doomlord_> heh i'm one of these people who wants to configure linux to be as much like the mac as possible
[09:56]  * EllieGoulding is running a hackintosh dual booted with Arch
[09:56] <doomlord_> i'm after the closest possible clone of mission-control (since mountain lion mission control is actually good)
[09:56] <doomlord_> but it makes less difference on a desktop machine.  Apple laptop & linux desktop is a nice combination
[09:58] <aeon-ltd> doomlord_: i think compiz had some feature that was like expose
[09:59] <doomlord_> its ok but on linux I gravitate back to simpler environments like XFCE/XFWM. the compiz stuff has all the eye candy, but i've never found it as satisfying as either snow leopard was, or as mission control is now
[09:59] <aeon-ltd> yeah if osx is anything it's elegant
[10:00] <EllieGoulding> eh yosemite looks cartoony :/
[10:00] <doomlord_> the magic is on a laptop: the trackpad gestures combined with the way missioncontrol behaves
[10:00] <EllieGoulding> mission control is nice, I have a hot corner that brings up all my desktops
[10:00] <aeon-ltd> EllieGoulding: they will learn, hopefully
[10:01] <EllieGoulding> along with being able to drag windows to another or make one on the fly
[10:01] <aeon-ltd> EllieGoulding: this could be their windows 8 lapse
[10:01] <EllieGoulding> well idk if its THAT bad lol
[10:01] <doomlord_> on a linux desktop I like the extra control you can get with a keyboard, and 'focus follows mouse', and use of scrollwheel for desktops (i've got scrollwheel on window title taking it between desktops)
[10:01] <EllieGoulding> though metro design == no design
[10:02] <aeon-ltd> i'm not sure why win8 is so hated though, the stuff they added doesn't kill the experience, but to non tablet users it's mostly just useless
[10:02] <EllieGoulding> I just hate windows
[10:02] <doomlord_> all the compiz stuff has never worked well on multiple monitors. (oh thats another thing missioncontrol does REALLY well now - desktops per monitor switched independantly)
[10:03] <EllieGoulding> though I think win8 is the best one out cuz it has slightly better performace and it doesnt remind me competely of windows 98
[10:03] <EllieGoulding> also they added some much needed stuff like a reset button, although kinda half baked

[11:02] <cfhowlett> !ask | l0cal
[11:04] <l0cal> OK, sorry and thanks . My problem started after i rebooted my pc from the terminal , not doing any upgrades ,just a simple reboot , i saw some warning about low space on the home folder nothing else but i think it is unlikely that this is the problem . My computer booted just fine ,but when i type my login password it freezes and nothing happens . I can't acces tty shell with CTRL+ALT+F(1...6) ,when i do this sometimes it loads all tha
[11:04] <cfhowlett> l0cal, you ... ignored a warning message about storage space?
[11:05] <l0cal> the login screen and freezes , i managed to get to a login in tty once put after i type my password it reloading the login screen . I have installed on this machine a fluxbox windows manager and i could login there , and list my files and did some commands i saw on related
[11:05] <l0cal> problem posts , don't know if it's stupid or not .. tried reinstall ubuntu-desktop , unity what . nothing works for me ..
[11:05] <l0cal> yes i did that
[11:06] <cfhowlett> l0cal, when the /boot gets tool full of old kernels, what you describe is common.
[11:06] <l0cal> i saw a warning relating low space on home directory
[11:06] <l0cal> i don't know why i can't acces tty shell
[11:07] <cfhowlett> l0cal, :)  sounds fixable.
[11:08] <l0cal> don't know what to do to acces my machine and all my files .. i'm afraid not to lose some of my files , firefox tabs ..

[11:09] <cfhowlett> l0cal, boot from ubuntu USB.  mount hdd.  clear cruft.
[11:10] <l0cal> won't lose my data  on that partition ?
[11:10] <cfhowlett> l0cal, delete FILES not partitions ...
[11:10] <Swft> cfhowlett; do you have any idea?
[11:11] <cfhowlett> Swft, nope.  when I know nothing, I try not to comment.
[11:11] <cfhowlett> sorry
[11:11] <Swft> cfhowlett; you gotta know somethin'
[11:11] <cfhowlett> Swft, your issue?  false.  flattering but ... no.
[11:12] <Swft> cfhowlett; do you use Ubuntu?
[11:12] <cfhowlett> Swft, all the time.
[11:13] <Swft> cfhowlett, which version?
[11:13] <l0cal> cfhowlett why do you think i can't acces tty  ?
[11:13] <cfhowlett> Swft, I know nothing about your issue, so can't help.  sorry.
[11:13] <geirha> ##workingset might be able to help with cross compiling
[11:13] <cfhowlett> l0cal, overfilled /boot would do that.
[11:14] <l0cal> so you say by booting an ubuntu usb i could manage space ?
[11:14] <l0cal> how could i do that
[11:14] <cfhowlett> l0cal, boot usb.  mount hdd.  delete files - carefully and selectively.
[11:15] <cfhowlett> l0cal, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/removing-old-kernels
[11:16] <l0cal> thanks i read this
[11:18] <cfhowlett> l0cal, alternative: boot the usb, mount the hdd, chroot to the file system and use terminal commands to clean kernels.  (actually safer than my initial suggestion)
[11:19] <l0cal> the solution of the problem overwhelms me
[11:19] <l0cal> preetty noob
[11:19] <l0cal> but i'll try ..
[11:20] <cfhowlett> l0cal, this one.  ask for more guided assistance.  I've never chrooted.  http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/proper-way-to-remove-old-linux-kernels/
[11:20] <xubuntu616> starting 14.04.1 upgrade. connected as edman747 on the other computer
[11:21] <l0cal> so you think that old kernels images have overflowed the boot directory memory ?
[11:22] <mehdip2007> hi guys how can i change the color of my selected line?
[11:30] <minimec> mehdip2007: If I understand you correctly, this would be part of the theme settings.
[11:30] <mehdip2007> exactly for example when i select something it become blue but i want to be orange
[11:30] <mehdip2007> minimec, i donno where can i change it
[11:31] <imagecreative> hello
[11:31] <imagecreative> someone know if xubuntu have spy programs like ubuntu?
[11:31] <MACscr> does ubuntu 14.04 generate 70-persistent-net.rules by default? I know it at least a release or so ago it didnt generate one
[11:32] <k1l> imagecreative: neither xubuntu nor ubuntu do have spy programs included
[11:32] <minimec> mehdip2007: look here... http://askubuntu.com/questions/63126/how-do-i-change-the-selected-items-color
[11:33] <imagecreative> what about canonical?
[11:33] <iptable> imagecreative, programs which auto-search your search string in amazon and other locations for you are hardly "spy" features ...
[11:33] <cfhowlett> imagecreative, canonical doesn't have "spy" programs
[11:33] <iptable> imagecreative, and you can disable that feature if you don't want that in the settings.
[11:33] <imagecreative> they are taking information
[11:33] <k1l> imagecreative: what about what? you read some FUD
[11:34] <k1l> imagecreative: can you give some facts and not some missinformations?
[11:34] <cfhowlett> imagecreative, no FUD please.  if you don't want, disable or install a different buntu
[11:34] <iptable> imagecreative, either canonical nor ubuntu have spy software installed to let anyone spy on you. It's oensource, so if you don't believe, read the code
[11:35] <somsip> !adlens | imagecreative
[11:35] <iptable> imagecreative, who is taking what information? Please provide details/prove. Or is this something you hae heard from centos/fedora/arch fansbois?
[11:35] <es-em> Hi everybody :) I need some help with a terminal command I am using inside a python program I wrote. Somebody feels like helping me?
[11:35] <k1l> imagecreative: if you talk about the amazon lense, that is shut down since months and will not send any data.
[11:35] <imagecreative> is not about believe or know
[11:35] <imagecreative> i am asking because i dont know
[11:35] <iptable> imagecreative, cool. and you got your answer.
[11:35] <imagecreative> thank oyu
[11:35] <cfhowlett> imagecreative, the answer to your question: NO
[11:35] <imagecreative> you
[11:36] <iptable> no problem
[11:36] <iptable> cfhowlett, do you ever sleep? ;)
[11:36] <cfhowlett> iptable, China standard time m8
[11:36] <iptable> ah
[11:37] <iptable> that explains a lot ;)
[11:37] <SnoRider> Hello, I'm trying to download  BitchX-1.2c01-svn but it isn't found, do I need to download an apt-get search location?  I believe it's development.
[11:37] <k1l> !info bitchx
[11:37] <geirha> Oh, someone's revived BitchX?
[11:38] <SnoRider> Yes, it's ipv6 compatible now
[11:38] <iptable> SnoRider, you mean compile? apt-get won't install stuff that's not in the repos.
[11:38] <k1l> SnoRider: its not included in ubuntu repos. so see their webpage on how to install that
[11:39] <SnoRider> Ah, I thought it might be on one of the devel repos
[11:39] <SnoRider> Thanks
[11:39] <iptable> !info info
[11:40] <iptable> cool
[11:49] <wentian> how install flash for firefox
[11:49] <cfhowlett> !flash | wentian
[11:50] <`hypermist`> how to know if. ubuntu is blocking something from allowing incomming and out going connections ?
[11:50] <k1l> `hypermist`: in general: if you dont have a program listening on a port there is no incoming on that port.
[11:51] <wentian> i intall flash soft center ,but it now work
[11:51] <`hypermist`> but thing is. bitcoin wallet lets say it needs to connect to peers to sync, but that isnt happening
[11:51] <`hypermist`> its not connecting to peers
[11:51] <`hypermist`> so something is blocking connections
[11:51] <wentian> not work with firefox
[11:52] <`hypermist`> so thatas my issue k1l
[11:53] <`hypermist`> s/thatas/that
[11:53] <wentian> i install xubuntu on my old thinkpad
[11:54] <wentian> exit
[11:55] <wentian> i live in shanghai, where r u
[11:55] <cfhowlett> !ot | wentian,
[11:56] <wentian> ok
[11:56] <wentian> my flash is not work
[11:56] <wentian> other is ok
[11:57] <`hypermist`> k1l, ?
[11:57] <k1l> `hypermist`: so what errors do you get? needs that some special network setup? does the router block connections?....
[11:59] <`hypermist`> k1l, no error, it worked before i coverted to linux
[12:00] <k1l> `hypermist`: what program is it?
[12:00] <`hypermist`> its a bitcoin wallet basically
[12:00] <`hypermist`> but its called neoscoin
[12:00] <k1l> `hypermist`: what ubuntu exact? can you start it from terminal and see if there is an error?
[12:00] <`hypermist`> 14.04
[12:01] <`hypermist`> hypermist@hypermist-PC:~$ neos start
[12:01] <`hypermist`> Starting Neos
[12:01] <`hypermist`> NeosCoin server starting
[12:01] <`hypermist`>  all i get k1l
[12:01] <k1l> `hypermist`: "my car is somewhat broken, fix it" "what is broken" "something on my car"  how are we supposed to fix it if we dont know what you do and what you get at all?
[12:01] <`hypermist`> thats all i get no errors :|
[12:01] <`hypermist`> it just doesn't connect to the peers on the outside world. ? is firewall blocking the app from doing so ?
[12:02] <Gandiashore> Que pasa nanoooooooooooos
[12:02] <Gandiashore> unos crossy roads hay buenos?
[12:02] <k1l> no, its not blocking per default.
[12:02] <cfhowlett> !es | Gandiashore
[12:02] <Gandiashore> ok ok
[12:02] <Gandiashore> COME ON NANOOOOOOOOOS
[12:02] <GatoLoko> Gandiashore: do not write in all caps, it is against the rules. Next time you will be expelled.
[12:02] <Gandiashore> THis night, 23.00
[12:03] <`hypermist`> k1l, cause i can tell you it worked on windows. and i have a vps running the exact same version. but without gui
[12:03] <cfhowlett> zero tolerance for zero manners.  I like.
[12:03] <MACscr> I hate to reask this question, but does ubuntu 14.04 generate 70-persistent-net.rules by default? I know it at least a release or so ago it didnt generate one
[12:04] <MACscr> i have one on my system, but with ethX interface names versus biosdevnames
[12:04] <k1l> `hypermist`: windows got nothing to do with it now. i dont kanow that program and what setup it needs. so maybe you have a better chance for a solution if you ask the program coder for help
[12:04] <MACscr> so im just trying to figure out why
[12:04] <`hypermist`> k1l,  but thing is why would it work on my linux vps same version. but not my linux home pc ?
[12:05] <k1l> `hypermist`: vps got a totally differen network setup.
[12:05] <k1l> `hypermist`: please ask neoscoin guys what setup they need and if that is a known issue.
[12:06] <`hypermist`> that i can do but. i cannot expect a reply till like 3-4am my time
[12:06] <`hypermist`> lol
[12:06] <k1l> `hypermist`: #neoscoin exists
[12:06] <`hypermist`> k1l,  there is a .sh file on the website @ neoscoin.com
[12:06] <`hypermist`> and yes  i know k1l but dev is asleep
[12:08] <TheBigDeal> Hello
[12:09] <TheBigDeal> How can i disable the Extras repositories when doing release upgrades?
[12:10] <k1l> TheBigDeal: comment them in the /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:10] <k1l> make a # in front of the lines there
[12:10] <TheBigDeal> k1l, i got a temporary file
[12:11] <TheBigDeal> k1l, /var/tmp/sourcesXXZWT7bJ.list
[12:12] <k1l> TheBigDeal: ?
[12:12] <TheBigDeal> k1l, i don't know
[12:12] <fattest>  for a small web hosting company (that i want to start) (hosted with ubuntu 12.04 server) what internet speed do you need to satisfy users?
[12:13] <tomodachi> fattest: depends on the user, and what kind of content the user wants to provide through the web page
[12:13] <fattest> tomodachi: no its a web hosting company via FTP
[12:13] <fattest> so there will be lot of users
[12:13] <fattest> static html/php pages will be transferred
[12:14] <k1l> TheBigDeal: so what is the issue with commenting out the extra repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[12:14] <TheBigDeal> k1l, i can comment them, but i was not sure about that temporary file
[12:15] <`hypermist`> TheBigDeal, he said /etc/apt
[12:15] <`hypermist`> not /var/tmp
[12:15] <k1l> TheBigDeal: i dont know what you want with that file in /var/tmp
[12:15] <TheBigDeal> hydrajump, yes it is redirecting to it
[12:15] <TheBigDeal> o.O
[12:15] <ciscam> hi! can somebody tell me why this works fine when i open the script class file via console but not when i compile it as a jar? http://pastebin.com/5TTXkk7v
[12:16] <ciscam> the jar wont create a text file, the class file does
[12:16] <TheBigDeal> fattest, btw, your question is really weird, not sure but you need to provide the fastest internet speed to your server to satisfy your users
[12:17] <TheBigDeal> k1l, your file is redirecting to that file in the /var/tmp
[12:17] <fattest> TheBigDeal: i get around 7mbps on speedtest.net
[12:17] <fattest> if i have like 300 users, will that be enough?
[12:17] <k1l> TheBigDeal: what system is that?
[12:17] <TheBigDeal> k1l, 14.10
[12:17] <k1l> what exactly?
[12:18] <TheBigDeal> k1l, Ubuntu
[12:18] <TheBigDeal> k1l, btw, it works
[12:18] <k1l> TheBigDeal: please show in a pastebin: "lsb_release -a", "uname -a" and "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list"
[12:19] <TheBigDeal> fattest, It depends on your server, and what you will provide
[12:20] <fattest> TheBigDeal: i'll allow them to host web sites - HTML/PHP pages
[12:20] <TheBigDeal> fattest, web hosting?
[12:20] <fattest> yes
[12:21] <TheBigDeal> fattest, hmm, I'm not sure about that, that has nothing to do with Ubuntu server, try to google that to figure out how much internet speed do you need
[12:21] <fattest> ok
[12:21] <TheBigDeal> fattest, for a web hosting server of course
[12:22] <fattest> ok
[12:22] <Ben64> could probably ask in #ubuntu-offtopic but i'll save you the trouble. 7mbit is way too slow
[12:23] <TheBigDeal> k1l, Everything is okay now, thanks, i know that things are messy a bit ;)
[12:24] <TheBigDeal> Ben64, ++, i would say that
[12:24] <fattest> Ben64: what should i be getting?
[12:24] <Ben64> #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to have a discussion
[12:25] <adac> Guys how can I mount an encrpted home directory? Currently tried this: ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase /media/username/763e53fe-cce3-4fe6-ab5d-50426cbd408e/home/.ecryptfs/usernam/.Private but it doesn't seem to work. I get: "Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed"
[12:25] <k1l> fattest: that heavily depends on the services running on the server and the amount of users connecting to them. but hardwaretalk and "what to buy" questions are better suited into #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:25] <adac> hmm actually I wanted not to use the passphrase but my login password
[12:26] <TheBigDeal> k1l, it's a web hosting server
[12:27] <`hypermist`> k1l, its got to be on my end
[12:27] <`hypermist`> cause i even just copied the whole source files from my vps and its still not connecting to anyone
[12:28] <aphorise> In trusty I have all 4x universe "deb + deb src" in my /etc/apt/sources.list & have done "apt-get update" - but whatever I try to install from universe repo's it say's unable to find.
[12:28] <aphorise> What am I be missing?
[12:28] <k1l> `hypermist`: that program is not in the repos. so better ask their support what you need to do to make it run. just ask in their channel or forum
[12:29] <k1l> aphorise: what program?
[12:30] <aphorise> k1l  http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=haproxyctl -
[12:31] <aphorise> oh sorry my bad thats in vivid only
[12:31] <k1l> aphorise: yep, vivid only.
[12:37] <mehdip2007> guys i change my theme and now my sound indicator has no buttoms
[12:47] <adac> Looks like this is the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/1028532
[12:49] <apg___> Hello
[12:52] <kaabe> Hi! I have a crontab entry which stores stout and sterr to the same file (`/usr/local/bin/rsync-nfs.sh >> /var/log/rsync/rsync.log 2>&1`). How can I send sterr to a separate file, while still keeping both sterr+stout in one file?
[12:57] <Tzunamii> kaabe: Using the command 'tee'. Loads of info on the Net regarding it. This is an example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/692000/how-do-i-write-stderr-to-a-file-while-using-tee-with-a-pipe
[12:58] <kaabe> Tzunamii: that should do, thanks!
[13:01] <kaabe> It makes sense to use tee in this case, just to newb to think of that. ;)
[13:02] <stemid> where does ubuntu mount webdav shares when I use connect to server in the gui? I want to run grep commands on the files that I mounted but I can only see them in Nautilus and not in mount(8) output.
[13:02] <Zeljko> What is the system requirements for latest Ubuntu version ?
[13:02] <tomodachi> Zeljko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[13:03] <k1l> stemid: it uses gvfs. see under /media/username/
[13:03] <stemid> I think you mean /run/media but no it's not there. I'm running find on / to find it now.
[13:04] <k1l> stemid: no i dont mean /run/media i mean /media/username
[13:04] <stemid> I found it under /run/user/1000/gvfs
[13:04] <stemid> /run/media is otherwise where stuff gets mounted automatically by gnome in ubuntu for me.
[13:04] <stemid> eh sorry, I'm in the wrong channel. my home desktop runs ubuntu, this is my laptop with fedora. haha
[13:04] <stemid> my bad

[13:23] <pratik> I thought ubuntu is good OS

[13:25] <TheNumb> pratik: no, the file system of the drive.
[13:25] <pratik> donno
[13:25] <TheNumb> ...
[13:26] <TheNumb> pratik: yet you're complaining it doesn't work.
[13:26] <EriC^^> quackgyver: ok, it looks like the installation was out of an efi machine
[13:26] <TheNumb> pratik: please paste mount to paste.ubuntu.com
[13:26] <EriC^^> quackgyver: you're currently booted in legacy mode on the live usb
[13:26] <quackgyver> EriC^^: Yeah
[13:26] <TheNumb> output of "mount"
[13:26] <EriC^^> quackgyver: does your pc have uefi?
[13:27] <TheNumb> EriC^^: modprobing efivars should do in that case.
[13:27] <TheNumb> I'd think.
[13:27] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:27] <quackgyver> EriC^^: Yeah on my original computer I installed it with UEFI enabled, but then it turned out that i had to disable it in favor of legacy because Ubuntu wouldn't even run otherwise
[13:27] <TheNumb> BluesKaj: hiya.
[13:27] <quackgyver> so I enabled legacy, updated the bios
[13:27] <pratik> How to get mount info
[13:27] <quackgyver> it wouldnt boot
[13:27] <quackgyver> then i reset all bios settings
[13:27] <TheNumb> pratik: open the terminal and type in mount.
[13:27] <quackgyver> and suddenly it worked
[13:27] <quackgyver> then the computer broke, so i switched it for this one
[13:27] <quackgyver> and just swapped the hdd
[13:27] <quackgyver> thats the story :)
[13:28] <Tzunamii> pratik: sudo mount|column -t
[13:28] <EriC^^> quackgyver: ok, it's installed in uefi mode still
[13:29] <quackgyver> EriC^^: Do I need to reinstall it without UEFI turned on?
[13:29] <EriC^^> quackgyver: you need to either switch uefi on, and fix a couple stuff
[13:29] <quackgyver> EriC^^: If I turn it on it won't find Ubuntu
[13:29] <quackgyver> so I need to fix some stuff :p
[13:29] <stuff1> EriC^^, still going strong my friend?!
[13:29] <EriC^^> quackgyver: it will be easy
[13:29] <EriC^^> stuff1: ?
[13:29] <quackgyver> Okay cool
[13:30] <stuff1> oops,
[13:30] <EriC^^> ah, hey :D
[13:30] <bruxC> must have gotten disconnected last night.
[13:30] <bruxC> Hey man, thanks again for your help.
[13:30] <EriC^^> quackgyver: enable uefi and boot the usb in uefi mode
[13:30] <bruxC> It's working like a champ. I'm a little bummed out that I couldn't figure out the problem myself.
[13:30] <pratik> http://pastebin.com/FiTLwrCs
[13:31] <EriC^^> bruxC: great, no problem man
[13:31] <quackgyver> EriC^^: when you say boot the usb in uefi mode, youre basically just talking about rebooting with the usb stick in and uefi enabled
[13:31] <quackgyver> rather than legacy, yeah?
[13:32] <EriC^^> quackgyver: yeah
[13:32] <quackgyver> aight
[13:32] <EriC^^> quackgyver: if you do get a boot options menu with 2 usb modes choose uefi
[13:32] <quackgyver> one moment
[13:32] <quackgyver> aight
[13:33] <Mageia> 第一次来，这个怎么用呢

[13:35] <pratik> Please check
[13:35] <habash> Guys I have only 4.7GB avalible on my machine, is it enough to install Ubuntu on VB?
[13:35] <tomodachi> habash: yes
[13:36] <jatt> what is vb
[13:36] <habash> tomodachi, how much space does the fresh install usually take?
[13:36] <habash> jatt, virtualbox
[13:36] <quackgyver> EriC^^: Ok now it booted up GRUB booter
[13:37] <EriC^^> great and odd
[13:37] <quackgyver> "Try Ubuntu without installing" / "Install Ubuntu" / "OEM install" / "Check disc for defects"
[13:37] <quackgyver> First option yeah?
[13:37] <EriC^^> quackgyver: oh ok, i thought it found the installation :D
[13:37] <EriC^^> yeah
[13:37] <quackgyver> ah no
[13:37] <quackgyver> but
[13:37] <quackgyver> thats what happened the first time
[13:37] <jatt> is a little tight if your home partition is in the same as the / partition
[13:37] <quackgyver> i put in the usb stick and suddenly it found the hdd os
[13:37] <quackgyver> o_o
[13:37] <jatt> 10gb to be on the safe side
[13:37] <quackgyver> anyway ok
[13:37] <minimec> habash: According to the 'minimal requirements' page, the graphical installer will fail... (needs 5GB) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[13:38] <lion123> yo
[13:38] <lion123> how could i install ubuntu on my window7
[13:39] <lion123> 64 bits
[13:39] <tomodachi> minimec: habash well that wiki page does mention three differnt ram requirements, so it seems quite inconclusive. I successfully ran ubuntu 14.04 on 4 gigs
[13:39] <jagat> download iso file from www.ubuntu.com
[13:40] <habash> minimec, I don't care for the GUI, how can I install it without the GUI?
[13:40] <habash> tomodachi, 4 gigs or ram? or 4 gigs of hdd?
[13:40] <jatt> install the ubuntu server iso
[13:40] <lion123> ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64 i have that
[13:40] <lion123> but i dont hve a usb
[13:40] <tomodachi> habash: ram
[13:40] <EriC^^> habash: minimal cd
[13:40] <lion123> pendrive
[13:40] <jatt> nope  not that one, the server one
[13:40] <EriC^^> !minimalcd | habash
[13:41] <habash> thanks EriC^^
[13:41] <minimec> habash: It's all on that page...
[13:41] <habash> minimec, thanks man well do
[13:42] <lion123> i can i install that without connecting internet
[13:42] <lion123> my internet is slow
[13:42] <EriC^^> quackgyver: did it load?
[13:43] <lion123> its showing 2 hours
[13:49] <makara> hi. Common problem I'm sure, what should I do with "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"?

[14:01] <i0d9i20> so how well does Ubuntu perform on a Windows Surface tablet?
[14:02] <the-solipsist> Hello. I have a WD My Cloud NAS attached over ethernet to an OpenWrt router. I've enabled NFS on the NAS. I'm not sure what my firewall settings on the OpenWrt router should be.
[14:02] <the-solipsist> All the settings I see on http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/nfs.server assume that the router itself will be the NFS server.
[14:02] <the-solipsist> Is there anyone here who speaks iptables? :)
[14:04] <Tzunamii> I think it's much easier if you describe what you want done
[14:05] <the-solipsist> Tzunamii: I want to be able to connect from my laptop to the NAS using NFS.
[14:05] <Tzunamii> You just want to punch some holes, is that it?
[14:06] <the-solipsist> Yes. I want to know the correct netfilter/iptables settings.
[14:06] <O_OniGiri> Hi there, can I ask cronjob related questions in this channel?
[14:06] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: yeah
[14:06] <EriC^^> go for it..
[14:07] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: Ok... I am trying to get cronjob working with notify-send, I read on google many people asking this, but no solution worked for me :(
[14:07] <EriC^^> what are you adding?
[14:07] <quackgyver> ok EriC^^
[14:07] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: What do you mean?
[14:07] <quackgyver> typed in those 3 commands
[14:07] <EriC^^> try DISPLAY=:0 notify-send <something>
[14:07] <quackgyver> took a while cus the keyboard layout wasnt in my native language
[14:07] <quackgyver> what do i do now?
[14:07] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: in crontab -e , what's the command you're using?
[14:08] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: Already tried that one
[14:08] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: one second trying something
[14:09] <O_OniGiri> * * * * * DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "Hello world!"
[14:09] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: Btw, I am using xubuntu
[14:09] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: it works
[14:09] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: for me it doesnt :(
[14:09] <jatt> put it in a shell script
[14:09] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: is the cron running? type tailf /var/log/syslog
[14:10] <EriC^^> see if it runs
[14:10] <tga> greetings. I have a server that hangs on boot on random: nonblocking pool is initialized. any ideas?
[14:10] <O_OniGiri> jatt: Also tried to put DISPLAY:=0 in script
[14:10] <tga> I found a bunch of forum posts on this, but no answers
[14:10] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: it runs, because I am echoing some test text to a file
[14:10] <jatt> should be DISPLAY=:0.0
[14:10] <EriC^^> quackgyver: type sudo chroot /mnt
[14:10] <O_OniGiri> jatt: I will try
[14:11] <O_OniGiri> jatt: like this? #!/bin/bash  DISPLAY=:0.0
[14:11] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: try * * * * * DISPLAY=:0 xclock
[14:11] <jatt> put the whole thing in the shell script (including the notify-send stuff)
[14:11] <EriC^^> there's no need for the script
[14:11] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: what does xclock do?
[14:12] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: it works :P
[14:12] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: but it does not for notify :(
[14:12] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: ok, try notify-send in a terminal
[14:12] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: that works
[14:12] <quackgyver> EriC^^: done
[14:13] <EriC^^> hmm try DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal -e "notify-send 'hello ...'"
[14:13] <EriC^^> quackgyver: sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed
[14:13] <EriC^^> quackgyver: no need for sudo
[14:14] <quackgyver> all that sans the sudo?
[14:14] <EriC^^> quackgyver: oui :P
[14:14] <quackgyver> aight :3
[14:14] <quackgyver> aight
[14:14] <quackgyver> its installing
[14:14] <O_OniGiri> gnome terminal is not installed
[14:15] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: O.o
[14:15] <EriC^^> oh wait
[14:15] <EriC^^> which de are you using?
[14:15] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: I do not know what terminal xubuntu uses
[14:15] <EriC^^> i think it's xfce-terminal or something
[14:15] <cfhowlett> EriC^^, exactly
[14:16] <quackgyver> EriC^^: its done, no error reported :3
[14:16] <EriC^^> cfhowlett: thanks
[14:16] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: yeah, xfce4-terminal
[14:16] <EriC^^> quackgyver: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[14:16] <EriC^^> quackgyver: update-grub
[14:17] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: any luck?
[14:18] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: waiting...
[14:18] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: it starts up an empty terminal, but does nothing
[14:18] <EriC^^> try adding -x before -e
[14:18] <quackgyver> EriC^^: aight done. no errors reported
[14:19] <EriC^^> quackgyver: efibootmgr -v , paste it in paste.ubuntu.com
[14:19] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: you mean this: * * * * * DISPLAY=:0 xfce4-terminal -x -e "notify-send 'test'" ?
[14:19] <EriC^^> yeah
[14:19] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: open a terminal and test it out
[14:20] <EriC^^> type xfce4-terminal -x -e .... see if opens another and notify works
[14:20] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: not working with -x
[14:21] <quackgyver> EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/EmPmH4Jv
[14:21] <EriC^^> maybe -x instead of -e ?
[14:22] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: not working
[14:23] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: ok try xterm -e notify-send bla
[14:23] <EriC^^> the bla is very important
[14:23] <EriC^^> :P
[14:23] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: sarcasm or not? :P
[14:23] <O_OniGiri> in terminal it works
[14:23] <EriC^^> j/k
[14:23] <O_OniGiri> lets see if cron will do it
[14:23] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: ok
[14:24] <EriC^^> quackgyver: type exit
[14:24] <EriC^^> quackgyver: try to restart
[14:24] <O_OniGiri> need DISPLAY=:0 ?
[14:24] <EriC^^> exit first
[14:24] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: yes
[14:26] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: it's not working :(
[14:26] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: hmm
[14:26] <EriC^^> do you have postfix installed by any chance?
[14:26] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: what is postfix?
[14:27] <`hypermist`> lol i can't run NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.35.run
[14:27] <`hypermist`> cause i have an x server running and then when i fix that issue
[14:27] <`hypermist`> i get a Nouveau error
[14:27] <`hypermist`> Lol
[14:27] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: it's for mail, cron sends the output of the commands to your mail
[14:27] <k1l> `hypermist`: why do you want to install the website driver and not use the ubuntu nvidia driver?
[14:28] <`hypermist`> cause its dun goofing k1l
[14:28] <k1l> ?
[14:28] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: i dont think I have installed something like that
[14:28] <`hypermist`> Youtube videos are lagging
[14:28] <`hypermist`> They never lag
[14:28] <`hypermist`> Lol
[14:28] <`hypermist`> This gpu im using is perfect. lel
[14:28] <`hypermist`> thats why k1l
[14:29] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: ok, try DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "hello.." > ~/cronlog 2>&1
[14:29] <k1l> `hypermist`: what driver did you use?
[14:29] <EriC^^> after it runs check what's in ~/cronlog
[14:29] <`hypermist`> i just did apt-get install nvidia-current k1l
[14:29] <Sry-Im-new-here> #roguelike
[14:30] <k1l> please show "dpgk -l | grep nvidia" in a pastebin service please
[14:30] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: will do
[14:30] <Sry-Im-new-here> ^c
[14:30] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: itś empty
[14:30] <quackgyver> EriC^^: with the stick in?
[14:30] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: type tail /var/log/syslog
[14:30] <quackgyver> or running from hdd
[14:30] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: is there anything about the cronjob?
[14:31] <EriC^^> quackgyver: restart and boot from the hdd
[14:31] <quackgyver> EriC^^: will do
[14:31] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: CMD (DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "hello.." > ~/cronlog 2>&1)
[14:31] <`hypermist`> It says No command 'dpgk' found, did you mean:
[14:31] <`hypermist`>  Command 'dpkg' from package 'dpkg' (main)
[14:31] <`hypermist`> dpgk: command not found
[14:31] <`hypermist`>  k1l
[14:32] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: if you type mail, do you get anything?
[14:32] <`hypermist`> but it is installed k1l
[14:32] <k1l> please show "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" in a pastebin service please (sorry had a typo)
[14:32] <the-solipsist> hydrajump: "dpkg", not "dpgk"
[14:32] <O_OniGiri> EriC^^: I get a message saying: No mail for ...
[14:32] <k1l> !paste | `hypermist`
[14:32] <`hypermist`> im tired
[14:32] <`hypermist`> lol
[14:33] <Parity> Question: Doesn't "./scriptname" do the same as "sh scriptname.sh" in ubuntu?
[14:33] <the-solipsist> Gah, that was meant for `hypermist`, not hydrajump.
[14:33] <`hypermist`> k1l, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9882680/
[14:33] <`hypermist`> the-solipsist, i knew it was pointed at me
[14:33] <`hypermist`> Haha
[14:33] <`hypermist`> Im so tried. that things be like durp durpity
[14:34] <jatt> Parity: no, the latter starts a new shell to read scriptname.sh
[14:34] <k1l> `hypermist`: ubuntu offers a 331 driver. which is newer than the nvidia-current you just have
[14:34] <jatt> Parity: the latter also work even if scriptname.sh doesn't have execute permissions
[14:34] <EriC^^> Parity: with ./ it will look in the cwd, with sh you can run it by typing its name
[14:34] <`hypermist`> k1l, what is the command then ?
[14:34] <EriC^^> ( even if it isn't +x )
[14:35] <k1l> `hypermist`: do a "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current" and then do a "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331"
[14:35] <`hypermist`> okay
[14:36] <quackgyver> EriC^^: holy shit
[14:36] <quackgyver> it worked
[14:36] <quackgyver> what did you do o_o
[14:36] <EriC^^> quackgyver: great
[14:36] <quackgyver> man
[14:36] <quackgyver> what did you even do
[14:36] <quackgyver> o_o
[14:38] <Parity> @ EriC thanks!
[14:38] <EriC^^> quackgyver: reinstalled grub
[14:38] <quackgyver> EriC^^: when i boot it up it says system program problem detected
[14:38] <`hypermist`> k1l, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9882731/ wehn installing
[14:38] <quackgyver> can i repair ubuntu somehow?
[14:38] <`hypermist`> it doesn't stop either k1l its goes on for some time then stops
[14:38] <EriC^^> quackgyver: the apport errors?
[14:38] <quackgyver> yes!
[14:38] <quackgyver> howd you know
[14:39] <EriC^^> quackgyver: you mean while it's booting the kernel? or in the gui?
[14:39] <quackgyver> when ive logged into my desktop
[14:39] <k1l> `hypermist`: did you fiddle there manually with the drivers?
[14:39] <quackgyver> it says ubuntus been experiencing internal errors
[14:39] <quackgyver> with apportcheckresume
[14:39] <EriC^^> quackgyver: you can check the details, yeah they happen to everyone
[14:39] <`hypermist`> k1l, nope. i don't think so let me check
[14:39] <EriC^^> quackgyver: you can check the details if you want, and then disable them
[14:39] <quackgyver> EriC^^: it happens every time i log in
[14:39] <quackgyver> do you know what thats about?
[14:39] <EriC^^> quackgyver: type gksu xdiagnose
[14:40] <quackgyver> i gotta install it
[14:40] <quackgyver> hold on
[14:40] <EriC^^> quackgyver: those are for the unreleased versions to report errors
[14:42] <Tamilan> hi....everybody....
[14:42] <quackgyver> EriC^^: what does that mean?
[14:43] <EriC^^> quackgyver: you can type pkexec xdiagnose if you want, or just open the dash and type xdiagnose
[14:43] <EriC^^> quackgyver: gksu is for running gui apps with privileges
[14:43] <`hypermist`> yep i did edit it k1l  so i deleted it and now its running on those drivers i think
[14:45] <quackgyver> EriC^^: aight i got it open
[14:46] <EriC^^> quackgyver: ok uncheck automatic error reporting
[14:46] <fxmulder> is there a way to install ubuntu so that I can make a snapshot to easily rollback to if I blow something up?
[14:46] <EriC^^> fxmulder: lvm can do that i think
[14:46] <jatt> install it in a vm
[14:47] <fxmulder> jatt: I can't use a vm because I am doing some hardware specific stuff
[14:47] <jatt> vb has snapshots
[14:47] <jatt> btrfs has snapshots and rollbacks
[14:47] <MarcGuay> Hi folks.  Ubuntu 14.04.  Any way to get the skype chat notifications to be more apparent?  If I'm AFK I don't see them at all.
[14:47] <jatt> but afaik btrfs is slow and buggy as hell
[14:47] <`hypermist`> k1l,  its not the open gl issue
[14:48] <`hypermist`> when i try boot a game with open gl it doesn't boot
[14:48] <k1l> `hypermist`: ?
[14:48] <k1l> did you reboot after changing the nvidia driver now?
[14:48] <`hypermist`> nope
[14:48] <`hypermist`> i will do now
[14:48] <quackgyver> EriC^^: shouldnt i be concerned with the error report though?
[14:50] <fxmulder> alright using lvm
[14:51] <EriC^^> quackgyver: it's up to you, i've disabled it and others too
[14:51] <quackgyver> EriC^^: Well, what did this specific error mean?
[14:52] <EriC^^> quackgyver: you have to check the details
[14:52] <quackgyver> EriC^^: well
[14:52] <quackgyver> why is it a good idea to disable it if something is wrong?
[14:52] <quackgyver> isnt it better to fix the problem?
[14:53] <EriC^^> quackgyver: it's not that serious of an error i guess
[14:54] <quackgyver> How so? :o
[14:54] <hyperderp> Hey k1l its me hypermist
[14:55] <hyperderp> After i rebooted i dont get any desktop icons
[14:55] <hyperderp> And my pc is actinh loke its doing nothing
[14:55] <EriC^^> quackgyver: they're probably just warnings or other stuff that's really more helpful to the devs than anything else
[14:55] <hyperderp> Im using irc on my phone at
[14:56] <EriC^^> quackgyver: so in the prereleases it's there, but it's disabled by default ( or is supposed to be ) in the official releases
[14:56] <k1l> hyperderp: what video hardware is it?
[14:56] <hyperderp> What do i do k1l
[14:57] <k1l> hyperderp: "ctrl +alt +t" for a terminal. then "lspci" and see what video hardware it is
[14:58] <hyperderp> I cant its frozen but mouse is moveable
[14:59] <quackgyver> EriC^^: oh ok
[14:59] <quackgyver> well
[14:59] <quackgyver> im not entirely sure what htat means
[14:59] <quackgyver> but ive got a working computer again now thanks to you
[14:59] <quackgyver> so ill trust you
[14:59] <quackgyver> thanks a lot for helping me. couldnt have done it without you
[14:59] <k1l> hyperderp: there might be a problem with your manual changes and the website driver you tried to install.
[14:59] <EriC^^> quackgyver: no problem
[15:00] <k1l> hyperderp: "ctrl +alt+f1" to get to tty, then login there and run "lspci"
[15:00] <hyperderp> Alright i did a different way but it says vga compatible gts 450 k1l
[15:00] <quackgyver> :)
[15:00] <k1l> hyperderp: "it doesnt work" is not a good error description for support over telephone or irc.
[15:00] <EriC^^> quackgyver: :)
[15:00] <hyperderp> Pci bridge says amd ati k1l
[15:02] <zamba> how do i resize a vg?
[15:03] <zamba> vgextend looks to be just for extending a vg over several different physical volumes
[15:03] <hyperderp> K1l?
[15:03] <k1l> hyperderp: what ubuntu version?
[15:03] <hyperderp> 14.04
[15:04] <fxmulder> does the x64 version run on 32 bit machines?
[15:05] <hyperderp> Fxmulder think only if cpu can do x64
[15:05] <teward> fxmulder: x64 is for 64-bit architecture - you need the x86 version for 32bit architecture and CPus
[15:05] <fxmulder> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop makes it sound like the determining factor is the amount of ram
[15:06] <teward> fxmulder: it's the CPU architecture
[15:06] <teward> fxmulder: you need the 32-bit version (i386 / i686) for 32-bit CPUs
[15:06] <fxmulder> I would imagine so but their wording sure makes that distinction confusing
[15:06] <k1l> hyperderp: what does "sudo lshw -c display" say about driver?
[15:07] <hyperderp> Display unclaimed k1l
[15:09] <k1l> hyperderp: hmm, ok try "sudo apt-get purge nividia*" then reboot and see if it comes up with a open source novoue driver . then you should have a gui and its easier to start from there
[15:09] <hyperderp> Lol when i did that k1l it said my gpu clock was 33mhz lol
[15:10] <hyperderp> The lshw cmd
[15:11] <fxmulder> this laptop I got back in 08 still runs fine aside from the fact that it is 32 bit, wish I had gone 64 bit back then
[15:12] <k1l> fxmulder: you need to install the 32bit ubuntu if your hardware can only run 32bit.
[15:12] <fxmulder> k1l: my last statement was a statement of remorse as opposed to a statement of confusion as to which version to install
[15:13] <k1l> hydrajump: say when its done rebooting.
[15:15] <`hypermist`> k1l,
[15:15] <`hypermist`> i did dpkg --configure -a and now i rebooted and im the drivers
[15:15] <`hypermist`> and youtube isnt lagging now
[15:16] <k1l> all good then?
[15:16] <I-am-Groot> Hello
[15:16] <`hypermist`> k1l, i will go see by testing a game
[15:16] <unloading> you should be saying iamgroot
[15:16] <fxmulder> ubuntu also seems to have problems figuring out my timezone, when I was in mountain time it always defaulted to central on install, now that I am in central it defaults to eastern
[15:17] <I-am-Groot> For the past days, it looks like my Dell Latitude E6420 running Ubuntu 14.04 Keeps loosing data after reboot
[15:17] <cfhowlett> I-am-Groot, "looks like ..."?
[15:18] <k1l> I-am-Groot: so that laptoo is old now and starts to forget everything? :)   can you explain what you mean?
