[00:00] <neonixcoder> I am planing to upgrade 10.04 to 14.04 on number of remote machines which are connected through 3G network. Before upgrading these servers in the field I want to  test the upgrade process. Upgrade process went fine but when we are restarting server in lab I am getting "error: the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found.
[00:00] <neonixcoder> Grub rescue>". I can recover it with live CD but the issue is how can we eliminate this issue with out occuring..
[00:00] <neonixcoder> Any suggetions?
[00:00] <neonixcoder> I tried installing grub before reboot..
[00:00] <neonixcoder> That did not solve my problem..
[00:00] <neonixcoder> Am I doing some mistake when installing grub?
[00:02] <Rabbitnightmare> will Ubuntu 15.10 have Jesse's kernel?
[00:05] <daftykins> Rabbitnightmare: #ubuntu+1 and read the release notes
[00:06] <Rabbitnightmare> ty daftykins
[00:06] <kanarian> k
[00:07] <Bashing-om> the_count: That last URL is s duplicate of the xorg . Try again ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-input-synaptics ' .
[00:07] <kanarian> ll
[00:07] <kanarian> hello
[00:07] <Rabbitnightmare> yay they are using the standard 3.19 kernel
[00:07] <Rabbitnightmare> whew
[00:08] <the_count> Bashing-om: I have to go, I will have to talk to you later
[00:08] <daftykins> Rabbitnightmare: not in 15.10 they're not
[00:09] <Rabbitnightmare> daftykins, oh thats 15.04
[00:09] <daftykins> i think it's gonna be 4.1 or 4.2
[00:10] <Rabbitnightmare> as long as its the Linus approved kernel and not the debian special magic version
[00:10] <du_> daftykins: would i be tripping if i ask what is tripping?
[00:10] <Rabbitnightmare> none of my hardware agrees with Jesse's kernel
[00:10] <daftykins> du_: not on topic here.
[00:10] <daftykins> Rabbitnightmare: not relevant here :)
[00:11] <gogoat10^2> https://clbin.com/nTma7
[00:11] <gogoat10^2> for anyoene who wants to play with a text irc client
[00:11] <du_> daftykins: gotcha #daftyking
[00:11] <Rabbitnightmare> im asking in there nobodys responding, daftykins can you link me the 15.10 rnotes?
[00:12] <daftykins> Rabbitnightmare: no
[00:12] <daftykins> though i guess it's too early for literal 'release' notes since it's... not released
[00:23] <TJ-> 15.10 kernel is v4.2
[00:26] <nullx> hey all, having the oddest issue i've ever seen... my internet speed is fine, but on lan any transfer is severely bandwidth limited
[00:26] <nullx> I can get about 600kb/s lan, and 900 megabits on the internet (yes, my internet is that fast)
[00:27] <nullx> NFS/Samba are like 600kb/s max, and SFTP is even worse like 20kb/s
[00:27] <nullx> 600kb/s is verified on two different devices, one wired, one wireless thats right in front of the router
[00:28] <daftykins> if you're using a speed test versus real world file copy, that's not a good comparison
[00:28] <daftykins> try using iperf to check the LAN
[00:28] <nullx> k
[00:28] <nullx> ill see what i can do with iperf
[00:29] <daftykins> ideally it'd be a single contiguous large file too
[00:29] <nullx> just googling how to iperf
[00:30] <daftykins> (for a standard samba or NFS test i mean)
[00:30] <nullx> getting good speeds on iperf
[00:30] <nullx> about the max of the wifi on my phone (38 megabits per sec)
[00:31] <nullx> as for samba and NFS that's what I already did and measured the speed
[00:31] <daftykins> you don't have two wired devices to test?
[00:31] <nullx> my wired device is my kodi box without a keyboard unfortunately
[00:31] <daftykins> could be a bad disk at either end :>
[00:31] <daftykins> so, SSH?
[00:31] <nullx> I also tried doing dd on the drive
[00:31] <nullx> and it wrote really fast
[00:31] <nullx> and read really fast
[00:31] <nullx> no errors
[00:32] <nullx> over SSH it was even worse like 20kb/s
[00:32] <nullx> its just such an odd issue
[00:32] <daftykins> no i meant SSH to run iperf on the HTPC
[00:32] <nullx> oh gotcha
[00:32] <nullx> yeah its a windows htpc
[00:32] <vmonteco> Hello!
[00:32] <nullx> but i bet theres iperf for windows
[00:32] <daftykins> ah, iperf is available on Windows too
[00:32] <nullx> ill see what i can do
[00:32] <nullx> yeah
[00:32] <nullx> brb ;)
[00:33] <TJ-> nullx: the low speeds; is that transferring many files, or just one large?
[00:33] <nullx> not even one large.. it used to be able to view 20 gb mkvs without issue, its struggling on 1gb mkvs
[00:34] <daftykins> so streaming, not file copy...
[00:34] <nullx> I switched from sharing on a windows pc to having a dedicated linux file server
[00:34] <nullx> its the same pc
[00:34] <nullx> yeah iperf over htpc is saying really fast speeds as well
[00:34] <TJ-> nullx: gb = gigabit, GB = GigaByte
[00:35] <bindi> gb = grambit ;)
[00:35] <daftykins> are you using a windows mapped drive, or Kodi's built in samba use?
[00:35] <nullx> :)
[00:35] <nullx> kodi's built in samba/nfs/sftp
[00:35] <jordanrandles> Whats better Mac OSX or Ubuntu?
[00:35] <nullx> jordanrandles: for what? for who? ;)
[00:35] <daftykins> jordanrandles: all OSs suck, you use the one you mind cleaning up after the least.
[00:35] <bazhang> offtopic here jordanrandles
[00:35] <TJ-> nullx: I'm trying to ascertain if you see the slow speed transferring a single large file. If not, the issue might be name resolution
[00:35] <nullx> that too
[00:36] <nullx> Tj: oh im connecting by ip though
[00:36] <nullx> ok want me to iperf again with a bigger data size?
[00:36] <bindi> are you using iptables nullx?
[00:36] <nullx> if that is how it works
[00:36] <nullx> nope
[00:36] <bindi> okay then
[00:36] <jordanrandles> nullx: for webdevelopment
[00:36] <TJ-> nullx: The remote end may still be trying ot do reverse lookup.
[00:36] <nullx> jordanrandles: both very good, see: vagrant/docker too
[00:36] <nullx> Tj: ah I see
[00:37] <TJ-> nullx: Also, if you're using CIFS/SMB  then Samba/NetBios/winbind could enter the mix
[00:37] <bindi> I just had a similiar issue, I think, I cant remember exactly. even the most Guru linuxgods I knew didnt know what was up with it, I had to manually set my MTU to like 1400.. had to reinstall ubuntu to get it fixed :)
[00:37] <nullx> Tj: I tried both there was no difference
[00:37] <nullx> bindi: I can try that
[00:37] <davidlinuxidiot> Greetings anyone have a minute to help me with a dual boot problem?
[00:38] <daftykins> not until you ask it
[00:38] <TJ-> nullx: I'm not on about which protocols you used; with Samba installed nsswitch may be trying winbind on every name resolution
[00:38] <nullx> Tj: gotcha
[00:38] <TJ-> nullx: *read* the server logs
[00:38] <nullx> wow
[00:39] <nullx> I set my mtu to 1400 my phone is now transferring way faster
[00:39] <honey_pot> .
[00:39] <nullx> gonna check the kodi box
[00:39] <daftykins> you don't mess with MTUs on a LAN ¬_¬
[00:39] <TJ-> nullx: is the network using VLANs
[00:40] <bindi> -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -j TCPMSS --set-mss 1420
[00:40] <bindi> i had to have this to make my  network work
[00:40] <bindi> but it wasnt a solution, the problem appeared on its own
[00:40] <bindi> or i upgraded iptables or something. but as i said, i installed a newer ubuntu lts version and it was fixed, and not even the gurus knew wtf was up :P
[00:40] <nullx> no vlans
[00:40] <davidlinuxidiot> I installed recent ubuntu distro and my acer laptop only boots to windows.  I have run boot repair. and played with bios priorities nothing will boot to ubuntu except ONE time I hit F12 at startup and it went to GRUB
[00:40] <nullx> sec
[00:40] <daftykins> bindi: what's your point?
[00:41] <nullx> nah not working properly
[00:41] <bindi> my point is i had a similiar sounding problem and a "fix" was to mess with the mtu :P
[00:41] <nullx> bindi: I'll try that
[00:41] <TJ-> bindi: nullx MTU can be set via NetworkManager connection-manager, or if using ifupdown, in /etc/network/interfaces
[00:41] <nullx> its better on phone
[00:41] <nullx> but not on kodi
[00:41] <daftykins> bindi: well that's a lovely single case example of your setup being messed up, but doesn't prove anything :)
[00:41] <bindi> yes, I know :>
[00:42] <bindi> but it's now commented in the config :P
[00:42] <nullx> k Tj
[00:42] <bindi> and nobody knows what caused it :)
[00:42] <bindi> hashtag onlylinuxthings
[00:42] <daftykins> davidlinuxidiot: so you don't have something set to Windows Boot Manager that you can change to the disk device name?
[00:42] <Volund> Say guys. I'm using a pretty straightforward install of Ubuntu and wonder if there's a simple way to enable 'listen to line in over my primary audio out'
[00:42] <Volund> right now the method I am using is this command:
[00:42] <Volund> pactl load-module module-loopback
[00:43] <Volund> is this my best method? I don't know how to 'turn it off' except for muting it
[00:43] <daftykins> unload module? :>
[00:43] <Volund> tried that, didn't quite work
[00:43] <davidlinuxidiot> dafty: I dont know what you are asking.  As you can tell by my name I am an idiot with linux
[00:43] <Volund> maybe.
[00:43] <Volund> anyways
[00:43] <Volund> -is- there another way?
[00:43] <bomongo> help
[00:44] <bomongo> sorry
[00:44] <daftykins> davidlinuxidiot: i'm asking if when you enter the BIOS you see something set to 'Windows Boot Manager' that can be changed to the hard disk device name instead.
[00:44] <Volund> I have a PS4 that plugs into my secondary monitor via HDMI, then I run a headphone cable from the back of the monitor to my PC's sound card Line In
[00:44] <nullx> bindi: weird thing to need to do mtu
[00:44] <nullx> bindi: I'll try the iptables
[00:44] <daftykins> bad idea imo
[00:44] <daftykins> iptables is not for your setup
[00:44] <nullx> yeah
[00:44] <bindi> you'll need more than just a single line of config :P
[00:44] <nullx> ill set a really low mtu
[00:44] <nullx> just to test
[00:44] <davidlinuxidiot> dafty:  Windows Boot Manager is the last possible boot order, I set it as such so that hopefully grub would load first but it still boots to windows 8
[00:45] <daftykins> nullx: that's ridiculous :)
[00:45] <nullx> lol
[00:45] <nullx> it is I have to agree
[00:45] <nullx> but it'd be nice to actually be able to watch shit :P
[00:45] <davidlinuxidiot> dafty: acer BIOS don't really have many options
[00:45] <daftykins> davidlinuxidiot: not the boot order, but the boot device - possibly under a hard disk priority menu
[00:45] <daftykins> davidlinuxidiot: i've heard more options become visible once you set a supervisor password
[00:46] <nullx> not just that it'll probably mess up my internet speed lol
[00:46] <davidlinuxidiot> that might be true let me go back to that and come back here if I can't finger it out, thanks good point
[00:47] <TJ-> nullx: what is the layout of your network devices?
[00:47] <nullx> Tj: basicly modem/router -> switch -> devices
[00:47] <nullx> its a dumb switch
[00:47] <nullx> and direct to this pc though no switch
[00:48] <TJ-> nullx: so the router is also Wifi ?
[00:48] <nullx> I didn't have this issue doing SMB over windows
[00:48] <nullx> yeah
[00:48] <nullx> same pc everything wired wise worked 100% in windows 7
[00:48] <daftykins> i bet you're using 15.04 huh
[00:48] <TJ-> nullx: and the problem transfers are DEVICE_1 <=> router <=> DEVICE_2
[00:48] <daftykins> for samba hosting
[00:49] <nullx> like I said no change if its NFS or sftp
[00:49] <nullx> right Tj
[00:49] <nullx> but the other thing that's odd is iperf shows really high b/w between devices
[00:50] <TJ-> nullx: is the router Linux, and can you gain an admin terminal on it?
[00:50] <nullx> nah its a really shitty isp specific one
[00:50] <nullx> I plan on turning it into modem only and getting an AC router sometime soon
[00:50] <TJ-> nullx: iperf results tends to suggest name resolution, or disk access, as suspects
[00:51] <nullx> I tested disk access... so name resoluton?
[00:51] <nullx> resolution*
[00:51] <nullx> so do you think by adding to hosts file it'll make a difference?
[00:51] <wymillerlinux> nullx: But you said your connecting through IP, correct?
[00:52] <nullx> correct
[00:52] <TJ-> nullx: this is why I asked whether the issue affects transferring a single, large, file. name resolution may be done once per file, so 1 parge file shouldn't see the slow-down.
[00:52] <wymillerlinux> Yeah, I was gonna say, check /etc/hosts
[00:52] <nullx> Tj: oh the issue is always one large file
[00:52] <TJ-> wymillerlinux: some protocols will do reverse-lookups
[00:52] <nullx> it's never multiple
[00:52] <nullx> my tests are on a big rar file actually, and on the kodi its been a 1.2gb mkv
[00:52] <TJ-> nullx: OK, that helps. Do you have 2 Linux devices you can test from?
[00:53] <nullx> I do not.  Android at best.
[00:53] <nullx> I mean
[00:53] <nullx> I could take my old pc and turn it into one
[00:53] <nullx> just seems like overkill, though
[00:53] <nullx> also, in case I don't say this later.. thanks for the help whoever has been trying
[00:53] <daftykins> not when you just need to boot a live session
[00:53] <TJ-> nullx: I was thinking about doing a test similar to iperf, but which can be morphed to write to/read from disk too
[00:53] <davidlinuxidiot> daftykins:  I didn't see any added functions when I set a supervisor password
[00:53] <nullx> daftykins: good idea
[00:53] <nullx> ill make a live usb
[00:54] <davidlinuxidiot> daftykins: I wish I could show you a screenshot of my BIOS
[00:54] <daftykins> davidlinuxidiot: and the other thing?
[00:54] <daftykins> so take a picture of each page and put it on imgur.com
[00:54] <Osirus126> take a picture of your bios with your phone and then upload it to imagebin
[00:55] <User88> list
[00:55] <nullx> Tj: gimme about 2-3 minutes, I don't have a KVM or anything though nor a second monitor
[00:55] <wymillerlinux> nullx: VM?
[00:56] <davidlinuxidiot> DK: Osiris:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/12539379/
[00:56] <nullx> wymillerlinux: this is my only pc right now, lol
[00:56] <TJ-> nullx: e.g: "dd if=/dev/zero | pv | nc a.b.c.d 1234" and at the other end "nc -l a.b.c.d 1234 | pv | dd of=/dev/null"
[00:56] <nullx> k
[00:56] <davidlinuxidiot> thats my boot repair log  I will take photos now brb
[00:59] <nullx> making usb now
[01:00] <nullx> k
[01:01] <debdeb> Is there any image viewer that will display a picture, but also a small preveiw of the next couple of pictures in the folder ?
[01:01] <bazhang> apt-cache search slideshow debdeb
[01:02] <nullx> ok so Tj can you explain the command again to me?
[01:02] <nightwork> So I am trying to run a minecraft server. I have a 2.3ghz quad core, 2 gigs of ram, running ubuntu. I changed it to boot into the terminal not DE. But it keeps lagging and running slow. kicks my players and boots me as well. Any ideas what could be happening.
[01:02] <nullx> nightwork: not a lot of ram for minecraft fyi
[01:03] <nullx> but that should be ok
[01:03] <nightwork> the debugger keeps saying that 'something cant keep up"
[01:03] <daftykins> nightwork: bad JRE
[01:03] <nullx> oh yeah
[01:03] <nightwork> Yeah, i want to upgrade it.
[01:03] <nullx> openjdk is no good for minecraft
[01:03] <nullx> get sun java
[01:03] <daftykins> 'upgrade' ? is it even the right one?
[01:03] <TJ-> nullx: On the sending PC: "dd if=/dev/zero | pv | nc a.b.c.d 1234" and at the remote:  "nc -l a.b.c.d 1234 | pv | dd of=/dev/null"
[01:03] <nightwork> oh, that is a good point.
[01:03] <nullx> what is a.b.c.d 1234?
[01:03] <nullx> that I don't understand
[01:03] <wymillerlinux> nullx: VM's let an individual run multiple machines at once with one computer https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads A computer inside a computer XD
[01:03] <nullx> a.b.c.d is ip
[01:03] <nightwork> I meant upgrade the ram
[01:03] <TJ-> nullx: of the remote PC on the LAN, ues
[01:04] <nullx> wymillerlinux: I'm well aware what a VM is, but it'd have to be on the same PC so wouldn't that be a totally useless test?
[01:04] <nullx> and what's 1234?
[01:04] <TJ-> nullx: the port number
[01:04] <nullx> oh ok
[01:04] <nullx> cool
[01:04] <Guest94485> what's the differece between "tar -zxvf" and "tar -xvf" to exract a .tar.gz file. is there a point to add the -z?
[01:04] <mat1tc> hi all - was hoping someone could help me with a keyboard issue
[01:04] <nightwork> okay, is it hard to change the JRE?
[01:04] <nullx> Guest94485: do man tar, look for the z explanation ideally ;)
[01:04] <daftykins> 'man tar' to find out
[01:04] <TJ-> Guest94485: it tells tar not to guess the compression type
[01:04] <daftykins> heh
[01:04] <nullx> nightwork: not that hard
[01:04] <nullx> nightwork: just google how to, its real easy
[01:04] <nullx> I want to deal with my issue first lol
[01:05] <nullx> then I'll try to help if you haven't already
[01:05] <wymillerlinux> nullx: Not necessarily, you can port forward from the virtual network.
[01:05] <nullx> wymillerlinux: oh I see so it goes to the network and back
[01:05] <Guest94485> i know it for zip but both commands work
[01:05] <nightwork> nullx, thank you sir.
[01:05] <nullx> nightwork: its quite easy, theres even a few apt ppks available to get it too
[01:05] <mat1tc> on a fewo
[01:06] <mat1tc> of my keys I get ghost presses
[01:06] <nightwork> nullx, can you send me a link. Just so I know I am starting from the right guide. I am really new to linux
[01:07] <daftykins> nightwork: it's really not rocket surgery.
[01:07] <wymillerlinux> nullx, yeah, it goes in loop, unless you port forward
[01:07] <daftykins> remove openjre, install oracle JRE... simples
[01:09] <nightwork> daftykins, yeah I know it seems easy to you guys, but I literally just started with linux and dont want to fubar it
[01:09] <daftykins> so google your version + a guide
[01:09] <davidlinuxidiot> daftykins: uploading BIOS images to imgur now
[01:09] <daftykins> there are tonnes out there, all for minecraft obsessives
[01:09] <nightwork> there are a lot of JREs out there. I just want to make sure i do it the right way
[01:10] <daftykins> no there really aren't :>
[01:10] <daftykins> just get JRE 8 from Oracle
[01:11] <puff> I'm having a little trouble, I tried installing the nvidia drivers via the software center and now I get the splash page and then my screen goes black.  Can somebody talk me through backing this out?
[01:12] <daftykins> puff: did you remove it all to restore functionality, or are you typing from something else?
[01:12] <puff> daftykins: I used shift-alt-f1 to get a terminal.  That's where I'm typing from.
[01:13] <Jordan_U> daftykins: Please pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr".
[01:14] <nullx> I am back something went wrong with my pc when I moved my monitor cable heh
[01:14] <nullx> had to reboot
[01:14] <daftykins> Jordan_U: i'd love to, only i don't have a problem with that :D
[01:15] <nullx> anyyhow
[01:15] <nullx> Tj: command again please ;(
[01:15] <Jordan_U> davidlinuxidiot: Please pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr".
[01:15] <daftykins> puff: sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[01:15] <daftykins> puff: then reboot
[01:16] <puff> daftykins: There are 10 different nvidia packages.
[01:16] <puff> sudo dpkg -l | fgrep -i nvidia  lists 10 packages.
[01:17] <daftykins> puff: and?
[01:17] <nullx> sending pc - 64kib 22.8mib/s
[01:17] <nullx> ran 5 times highest 96.5MiB/s
[01:17] <davidlinuxidiot> Jordan: Don't know what you mean.    Back in a sec....
[01:20] <nullx> other pc max 13.1 MiB/s but its only 10/100 that pc so it makes sense
[01:20] <TJ-> nullx: OK, that looks good then
[01:20] <nullx> Tj: actually brb to make it easier im gonna install openssh on that machine
[01:21] <nullx> so I don't have to change monitor/kb/mouse every time I switch back and forth
[01:21] <TJ-> nullx: so now let's alter it to *read* from the source PC's disk: instead of "if=/dev/zero" change it to "if=/dev/sda"
[01:21] <nullx> not a specific file?
[01:23] <scarforget> clear
[01:23] <puff> daftykins: Thanks, that fixed it.
[01:24] <nullx> same speeds as if=/dev/zeroi
[01:24] <nullx> same speeds as if=/dev/zero
[01:24] <daftykins> puff: if you still want to try using proprietary drivers, you may want to share an "lspci"
[01:24] <nullx> and same if I chose a file on either disk
[01:25] <daftykins> Jordan_U: hrmm it's one of those Windows 8.1 with Bing machines that davidlinuxidiot has, so i wonder if it's a quirky 32-bit EFI thing
[01:25] <puff> daftykins: Nah, it's been a long day.  So long, I can't really figure out why I wanted to try nvidia drivers.
[01:25] <nullx> just 1 sec gonna give the other PC ssh
[01:25] <puff> daftykins: I have some hazy memory of poor performance and thinking maybe proprietary drivers would help.
[01:25] <daftykins> :)
[01:25] <daftykins> they often do, for nvidia
[01:25] <TJ-> nullx: OK, now we swap, and change the remote PC's "of=/dev/null" to "of=/tmp/test.dat" so the received data is written to disk
[01:26] <puff> daftykins: I have a thinkpad t520 with nvidia optimus.
[01:26] <nullx> k sec
[01:27] <nullx> ah shit Tj
[01:27] <nullx> I've been doing it wrong the whole time
[01:27] <nullx> I didn't realize the remote PC is of=
[01:27] <nullx> I thought I read if=
[01:27] <TJ-> nullx: :D
[01:27] <nimitta> if logrotate is failing, would there be a log of that somewhere?
[01:27] <nullx> that actualy makes more sense lmao
[01:27]  * TJ- hums

[01:28] <davidlinuxidiot> BIOS pics
[01:28] <nullx> Tj: getting about 11.3 mib/s sustained with /dev/null
[01:28] <nullx> gonna try disk next
[01:29] <nullx> similar speeds
[01:29] <nullx> sending file.. similar speeds
[01:29] <nullx> ok
[01:29] <nullx> now /tmp
[01:29] <nullx> 10.9 - 11.3 mib/s
[01:30] <nullx> same with /dev/sdc
[01:30] <nullx> :(
[01:31] <TJ-> nullx: is that MegaBits/s ?
[01:31] <nullx> it says MiB I assume it means megabytes
[01:31] <TJ-> nullx: right, so to x8 to get Mbits/s
[01:31] <nullx> 90.4 max
[01:31] <nullx> over 10/100
[01:32] <TJ-> nullx: all of that seems to confirm the transfer itself isn't an issue (so no need to change MTU). Reading from/writing to disk alos seems to confirm no disk I/O issues holding things up... so guess where that takes us? :D
[01:32] <TJ-> nullx: name resolution :)
[01:32] <nullx> im listening lol
[01:32] <Osirus126> nullx: either it means megabytes or men in black
[01:32] <nullx> how do I fix name resolutions
[01:32] <Osirus126> lol
[01:32] <nullx> Osirus126: well what the hell is the .3 then lol
[01:32] <TJ-> nullx: you need to discover where in the path the problem is
[01:33] <nullx> Tj: I have an idea, I'm gonna confirm its an NFS issue on the new linux box as well
[01:33] <Osirus126> nullx: men in black 3
[01:33] <nullx> :)
[01:33] <Osirus126> hahahahah
[01:33] <Osirus126> jkjk
[01:33] <wymillerlinux> nullx, Sounds about right, that's what I get on my machines with 10/100
[01:33] <nullx> wymillerlinux: yup
[01:33] <nullx> im not worried about that actually
[01:33] <davidlinuxidiot> So if anyone can help an idiot it would be awesome if I have to deal with windows 10 for another day I might just jump out a real window.  I installed the most recent ubuntu distro on my acer aspire laptop, but it still boots to windows.  I ran boot repair here is the report   http://paste.ubuntu.com/12539379/.  Here are pics of my BIOS settings ht
[01:33] <davidlinuxidiot> tp://imgur.com/a/aj108.    But I am not super good with the nitty gritty of the OS hence how badly I need you alls help
[01:38] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: The PC uses UEFI, Ubuntu is installed as Boot0003 in the UEFI boot menu. Windows is Boot0002. It looks as if maybe you have Windows set to the default *and* UEFI fast-boot enabled so that the UEFI doesn't offer the boot menu at boot-time. Enter UEFI setup and look for indications of a setting that sounds like 'fast boot' that is enabled currently
[01:38] <yourname> TJ:good point
[01:39] <nullx> Tj: lol this sounds retarded to me but should I install bind9 (or whatever it is) and point all my machines to it for dns?
[01:40] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ: How do I "enter" UEFI setup?  in BIOS??
[01:40] <TJ-> nullx: I doubt it. Usually, your gateway/router will do DNS relay/caching from your ISP's DNS servers. It will give its own IP address out over DHCP as the nameserver
[01:40] <nullx> YEAH
[01:40] <nullx> oops caps
[01:41] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: The PC has no BIOS. It was replaced by UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). There will be a key you can hold down at power-on that gets you into the Setup
[01:41] <davidlinuxidiot> yeah F2
[01:41] <davidlinuxidiot> I guess thats what Im calling a BIOS
[01:41] <TJ-> nullx: Are all the issues caused by the Linux server that has samba/NFS installed?
[01:41] <nullx> Tj: I don't know
[01:42] <nullx> Tj: but when windows 7 was on it this was a non issue
[01:42] <somsip> !tab | nullx
[01:42] <TJ-> nullx: as in, are the transfers that suffer always accessing the samba/nfs Linux server?
[01:42] <nullx> Tj: this one yes
[01:42] <nightwork> okay, i got sun java installed, how do I set my java_home to it. the guides just says dont forget to set java_home
[01:42] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ:  Did you look at my BIOS images on imgur?  Could you lead me to where I setup UEFI settings?  I had no idea in the 4 years since I have had to enter a BIOS that the computer world doesn't call that a BIOS anymore
[01:42] <somsip> !java | nightwork
[01:43] <nullx> nightwork: you might have it set just have to log out and back in
[01:43] <TJ-> nullx: look at its "/etc/nsswitch.conf" and in particular its "hosts:" line (which controls the services and order of name resolution
[01:43] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: let me scroll back to find it
[01:43] <nullx> Tj: under hosts it says files, mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
[01:44] <nullx> something tells me that's a weird line
[01:44] <nullx> what's mdns4?
[01:44] <davidlinuxidiot> http://imgur.com/a/aj108
[01:44] <davidlinuxidiot> tj
[01:45] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: that doesn't show the "Security" or "Boot" options
[01:45] <TJ-> nullx: mulitcast-DNS (avahi aka bonjour)
[01:45] <nullx> ah
[01:45] <TJ-> nullx: OK, that looks like the default so no winbind there
[01:46] <nullx> k
[01:46] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ: Did you see all five screen shots?  That is my entire UEFI
[01:46] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: No, I can only see one: "Exit"
[01:47] <nightwork> I already installed oracle java8. But if I run java --version it says could not create JVM unexpected error occured. The if i run apt-get install oracle-java8-installer it says it is installed. but the other guide mentioned that I had to set the JAVA_HOME variable
[01:47] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: ok, they're appearing now
[01:47] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ: Scroll down
[01:49] <nullx> Tj: wow I had a feeling, I changed it to "files dns" then restarted nfsd, it sped up by about 3 fold on the 10/100 pc
[01:49] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: for some reason the photos were taking ages to be received. Looking at the "Boot" menu I'm surprised we don't see "Ubuntu" there, although Windows Boot Manager is listed as #8 of #8
[01:49] <nullx> 8.5 megabits/s to about 30-60
[01:49] <nullx> lemme test on my phone
[01:49] <TJ-> nullx: aha!
[01:49] <The_Woodsman> does anyone have any suggestions for the following situation: I successfully installed ubuntu from a USB drive on to a hard drive partition, but now i cannot boot using this partition - even in my BIOS / UEFI, i don't have an option to select that partition
[01:50] <TJ-> nullx: possibly mdns/multicast is being dropped by the router
[01:50] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ: I know its weird
[01:50] <nullx> Tj: we'll see once I test the other devices
[01:50] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: On the "Security" tab I see something interesting though...
[01:50] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ F12 boot?
[01:50] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: "Select an UEFI file as trusted" ... which looks to expect you to select a file.
[01:51] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ:  So I booted into GRUB last night by hitting F12 but today it went straight to Windows boot manager
[01:51] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: I'd suggest investigating that by pressing Enter. I'm guessing you'll get a basic file navigation prompt. You should navigate to the "ubuntu/shimx64.efi" file
[01:53] <nullx> Tj: false alarm, it looks like it started high but then went down to same speeds
[01:53] <nullx> other devices completely unaffecte
[01:53] <nullx> d
[01:53] <nullx> however I have a hunch still this could be it, gonna reboot and ill be back in a min
[01:53] <nightwork> okay, so i figured out how to get java to update so now i am using the sun java. but minecraft server still lags and kicks people out. I have a 2.3ghx, quad core and 2 gigs of ram. Running ubuntu 14.04 and I changed it to only run the terminal, no DE. the debugger for minecraft server says that 'something is taking too long' then lists what is taking too long. root.level.world.tick, root.save
[01:53] <nightwork> etc
[01:53] <nightwork> anyone have any ideas?
[01:53] <nightwork> I dont have a firewall running either
[01:53] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ: Ill try it now
[01:54] <TJ-> nightwork: sounds like a minecraft issue; check whether it requires the java VM to reserve more memory for heap/stack etc.
[01:55] <nightwork> When I run it I am using -Xmx1536M and -Xms1536M
[01:55] <nullx> yeah no difference lol
[01:55] <nullx> I was hoping
[01:56] <TJ-> nullx: Is the switch always in the circuit for the tests you are doing? can you remove it just for a test?
[01:56] <nullx> sure
[01:57] <sandman7> EatMoPossum!
[01:58] <nullx> no change sadly
[01:58] <nullx> hum
[02:01] <nightwork> I dont understand this. even when no one is logged into the server it has warnings about not being able to keep up
[02:01] <nullx> nightwork: and this is j2se latest?
[02:01] <nullx> err
[02:01] <nullx> java whatever
[02:01] <TJ-> nullx: well that's a good thing really, since it indicates the switch isn't the cause. One device proved.
[02:01] <jpmh> I am running ubuntu on a very restricted machine.  I do not need man, I see that there are a bunch of .gz files in /usr/share/man - is there ANY possible reason to keep them ?
[02:02] <nullx> Tj: such a tricky issue.  So weird.
[02:02] <nightwork> I just updated to oracle 8
[02:02] <TJ-> nullx: how about connecting 2 devices to the switch, but don't connect the switch to the router. Manually configure the network interfaces on the PCs, test using your usual file transfer method
[02:02] <nullx> Tj: I have a thought - to see if its the modem/router itself.  How about I share NFS on the other box and test speeds from this one?
[02:02] <nullx> Tj: I'll do this nfs idea first then yes
[02:05] <cheer> hello,good afternoon
[02:06] <TJ-> nullx: Is it possible you've got 2 devices on the network with the same IP? And on that note, could this be an IPv6-preferred-over-IPv4 issue?
[02:06] <nullx> Tj: my network doesn't even support ipv6.. and *VERY* interesting, it's the same speed
[02:06] <nullx> well a little faster
[02:06] <nullx> 12 megabits/s
[02:07] <cheer> IPV4
[02:07] <TJ-> nullx: but the Linux PC will likely support it. We had a lot of issues with this on 12.04 and to some extent 14.04
[02:08] <nullx> Tj: so you think I should disable ipv6?
[02:09] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ: I hit enter and went into hdd>UEFI>ubuntu> and then entered shimx64.efi and it brought up a prompt "Do you wish to add the file to allowable databases"  Underneat that it said "Boot Descriptor" and under that it said yes no but would not let me hit yes until I entered something in the boot descriptor field and  so I typed yes hit enter and then
[02:09] <davidlinuxidiot>   hit yes.  restarted and it still boot to windows, what did I do wrong?
[02:09] <davidlinuxidiot> Oh after I hit enter on yes it said "FILE is exist"
[02:09] <ziggyfish> I am trying to install ubuntu via a USB. I downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 and used the Startup Disk Creator, however half way through the installation it says theres an IO error (error 5). I tried to use Ubuntu 15.04, but the same problem. I also have verified the iso so I know thats not the problem. What else can I do?
[02:10] <sanner> Can someone help me with a wrong going clock? It either goes two hours wrong or, when it finds internet, sets itself right but my hardware clock wrong so that other OSes end with a wrong time.
[02:11] <wymillerlinux> ziggyfish, Do you have another USB device?
[02:11] <sanner> ziggyfish, might be an broken usb drive.
[02:11] <daftykins> ah you should've set it to non-UTC so it doesn't ruin the other OSs
[02:11] <sanner> How do i do that?
[02:11] <ziggyfish> sanner, yeah I do
[02:11] <ziggyfish> let me see if that works
[02:11] <nullx> Tj: k disabled ipv6 alltogether
[02:12] <nullx> not present in ifconfig either
[02:12] <davidlinuxidiot> https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/dOv5b2qWQdCnF790gKHA
[02:12] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ that is the screenshot of the prompt
[02:14] <nullx> Tj: k ill be back in a few gonna try what you said
[02:16] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ or daftykins: What is it asking when it says boot descriptor?  Does it just want me to label my Ubunu boot as something?
[02:16] <davidlinuxidiot> also if that is the case it still has not helped load ubuntu
[02:16] <MannyLNJ> Evening everyone. I converted my Thinkpad z560 from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but I have a problem. My battey stops charging at 78% Any ideas why?
[02:17] <Bashing-om> sanner: Windows defaults to considering the hardware clock to being local time. Ubuntu (and pretty much all *NIX systems) defaults to considering the hardware clock to be UTC. So every time you boot Windows it's "fixing" the hardware clock, and setting it back X hours from UTC to your local time.// What is set in the file /etc/default/rcS for UTC ?
[02:18] <sanner> I never had windows, but thanks for the long text. The other os is another ubuntu.
[02:18] <davidlinuxidiot> OMG can anyone help me?
[02:19] <leo__> hi¡¡
[02:19] <Bashing-om> sanner: Still check that " UTC=yes ' on both machines in the /etc/default/rcS file .
[02:19] <sanner> Doing right now.
[02:20] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: That prompt looks good.
[02:20] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ what does it want me to type after boot descriptor
[02:20] <davidlinuxidiot> ?
[02:20] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: the Description is the human-readable entry: e.g. "Ubuntu"
[02:20] <davidlinuxidiot> Is it just asking me to label the boot?
[02:21] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: correct
[02:21] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ ok well I labelled it YES and nothing happened just booted into windows
[02:22] <sanner> Bashing-om, its no for this one and yes for the other. Tell me is this supposed to be Yes for the default? The comment implies so but then why does it say no?
[02:22] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: on the "Boot" menu are you able to re-order the entries? I suspect it is picking the first available valid boot entry
[02:22] <ziggyfish> wymillerlinux, sanner it worksing better now, thanks
[02:23] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ: I will check but Windows was always the last boot option
[02:23] <wymillerlinux> ziggyfish, Anytime, happy to help :)
[02:23] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ:  I'll check brb
[02:26] <Bashing-om> sanner: The default for linux is "yes" ..to set the sysetn to use UTC time .
[02:26] <Bashing-om> system*
[02:28] <sanner> Bashing-om, i used the ubuntu minimal disk, apparently its wrong for them.
[02:29] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ: that totally worked thank you so much it is so nice to be in ubuntu.  Anyway to set up a dual boot now or do I justreconfigure the boot order when I want to load windows?
[02:30] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: There should be a key you can press at boot-time to bring up the boot menu, where you can then select the entry to boot
[02:30] <Bashing-om> sanner: I too installed from minimal. I do not recall changing that variable .
[02:30] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: check in the user manual
[02:30] <sanner> Weird :/
[02:30] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ: thanks man super awesome, I LOVE UBUNTU SUPPORT!
[02:31] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: if you can let us know there is a key to get the boot menu, *and* that it allows you to select a different OS, please tell us! We've had several users with the same issue and you're the first one we've been able to sort out without several days of investigation
[02:33] <davidlinuxidiot> hmm ok I don't think I have a manual thats very extensive for this laptop.  I will search the web should I search "What is the key to bring up a boot menu ACER UEFI?"
[02:33] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: that info is usually in the standard user guide
[02:34] <davidlinuxidiot> Oh its totally F12
[02:34] <davidlinuxidiot> I will double check right now but last time I did it it had the windows boot loader I bet now it offers me the ubuntu loader as well.
[02:36] <MannyLNJ> Evening everyone. I converted my Thinkpad z560 from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but I have a problem. My battey stops charging at 78% Any ideas why?
[02:39] <TJ-> MannyLNJ: possibly some kind of ACPI bug in the firmware. "acpi_osi=Linux" might help
[02:40] <davidlinuxidiot> TJ:  F12 brings up the boot menu and ubuntu is now available for me.
[02:42] <TJ-> davidlinuxidiot: Thank you :) we'll add that to our knowledge base for Aspires
[02:52] <Lope> Is there any way to disable touchpad touch clicks on the MDM login screen?
[03:03] <badbodh> Lope: ubuntu doesn't use mdm. it uses lightdm
[03:04] <MicroAlien> What;s up everyone
[03:04] <badbodh> ufo
[03:04] <Lope> ah, how can I execute a command when lightdm has started up?
[03:05] <MicroAlien> Anyone have the problem of your wifi card not working when you downloaded ubuntu on a new computer ??
[03:05] <badbodh> MicroAlien: what wifi card do you have
[03:05] <cfhowlett> MicroAlien, please avoid wasting time with "anyone else ... " type questions.  tell YOUR details and YOUR issues.  thanks
[03:05] <badbodh> Lope: you can switch to tty shells to run a command. to auto run a command with mdm, add it to your xinitrc file
[03:06] <badbodh> cfhowlett: should have said "no" just to look at his face :P
[03:06] <cfhowlett> badbodh, I'm not that twisted.   [or AM I?}
[03:06] <MicroAlien> Killer 1525 802.11ac 2x2 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1
[03:07] <badbodh> oh you
[03:07] <badbodh> eh? killer wifi ? never heard of that . ok google...
[03:10] <badbodh> MicroAlien: run "lspci -nn|pastebinit" and share url
[03:10] <magic_ninja-lap> I'm trying to install 64-bit ubuntu but I keep getting an error "unable to locate live file system"
[03:10] <badbodh> MicroAlien: are you on wifi-less pc right now ?
[03:11] <lotuspsychje> magic_ninja-lap: disabled fastboot and secureboot?
[03:11] <MicroAlien> yes i am
[03:11] <MicroAlien> but i run a wifi usb
[03:12] <badbodh> MicroAlien: ok, if you don't have pastebinit installed , run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" , if you already have it run the above command
[03:13] <magic_ninja-lap> lotuspsychje, I'll do that first, I really have had no clue where to begin
[03:13] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | magic_ninja-lap
[03:14] <lotuspsychje> magic_ninja-lap: single boot ubuntu or dualboot?
[03:14] <magic_ninja-lap> new computer, I have 2 hdds and 1 ssd 1 bootable usb
[03:14] <MicroAlien> okay ill let you know how it goes.....thanks
[03:14] <magic_ninja-lap> i'm going to put the sides on this machine and fire it up
[03:15] <magic_ninja-lap> give me 5
[03:15] <badbodh> MicroAlien: that isn't the solution. that's for id-ing your excta make and model of network cards
[03:15] <badbodh> *exact
[03:16] <Lope> badbodh: thank you very much. rebooting
[03:17] <MannyLNJ> Evening everyone. I converted my Thinkpad z560 from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but I have a problem. My battey stops charging at 78% Any ideas why?
[03:17] <cfhowlett> MannyLNJ, batteries do that.
[03:18] <cfhowlett> MannyLNJ, my max charge = 90%
[03:19] <cfhowlett> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/check-battery-life-health-ubuntu-linux
[03:20] <MannyLNJ> cfhowlett, I didn't want to hear that. I was hioping it was something in Ubuntu causing it to stop charging. I may go back to windows then because I want to print coupons from the PC and the coupon printer won't work under wine or in a virtual envoronment
[03:21] <cfhowlett> MannyLNJ, this is normal battery behavior.  nothing to do with the OS and it happens on windows as well.
[03:22] <nullx> Tj still here?
[03:22] <nullx> same problem over switch with static ip
[03:22] <nullx> lma
[03:22] <nullx> o
[03:26] <magic_ninja-lap> lotuspsychje, i dont' see any settings for secure boot
[03:26] <magic_ninja-lap> and I have an option for uefi or legacy + uefi
[03:27] <cheer> static 10086
[03:27] <lotuspsychje> magic_ninja-lap: single install ubuntu or dualboot?
[03:27] <magic_ninja-lap> single
[03:27] <magic_ninja-lap> it wants to boot my usb drive as "uefi"
[03:27] <magic_ninja-lap> and you said to disable uefi correct?
[03:27] <lotuspsychje> magic_ninja-lap: yes but first, change to legacy yes
[03:28] <lotuspsychje> magic_ninja-lap: fastboot + secureboot must be turned off both
[03:28] <magic_ninja-lap> fastboot is off
[03:28] <lotuspsychje> magic_ninja-lap: and if you install to ssd, make sure bios is set from IDE to AHCI
[03:28] <magic_ninja-lap> I booted it in uefi and it worked haha
[03:28] <magic_ninja-lap> it is ahci
[03:29] <nullx> so I'm gonna restate my issue ive been having since I installed ubuntu, can transfer over iperf or nc at very fast speeds, but over nfs/samba/sftp it's limited to under 10 megabits (instead of up to 90+ megabits), internet wise I'm able to download faster than this, disk drives have been tested.. Tj thinks its name resolution and/or my router (I tried a switch with 2 ubuntu 15.04 static ips - both failed to be any faster)
[03:30] <nullx> If anyone can offer any help, much appreciated
[03:32] <Volund> So just so you guys know.
[03:32] <Volund> I've been a Windows user for like 10 years.
[03:32] <Volund> I've been using Ubuntu now for maybe half a week.
[03:32] <nullx> okay
[03:32] <cfhowlett> Volund, your point?
[03:33] <Volund> Believe it or not, I just found myself thinking, 'you know what, I am actually doing everything I need to do pretty easily.'
[03:33] <Volund> That is awesome.
[03:33] <Volund> Sheesh, no need to be so sarcastic guys. @_@
[03:34] <somenickyy> volund nerds are just like that
[03:34] <somenickyy> don't take it personally
[03:34] <nullx> Volund: linux in general is a lot better than it has been for sure
[03:35] <Volund> :D
[03:35] <Volund> I just need to make a few things more convenient and I'll be ret-2-go!
[03:35]  * Volund just discovered that Filezilla has a site manager.
[03:36] <nullx> the only thing that still bothers me on ubuntu desktop is office, but even then its not THAT bad
[03:36] <nullx> its like using a really old version
[03:36] <nullx> I mean, unless something better has come out recently
[03:37] <nullx> and don't get me wrong it's no easy task
[03:38] <Volund> I got my hard drives completely converted over to ext4 and reorganized - 7 years of clutter and mutter all completely reorganized. I got VNC working, samba working, I've got all of my work stuff, and web browsing... got pretty much everything going.
[03:38] <nullx> Volund: you may also want to look into LVM it's pretty cool
[03:38] <Volund> Logical Volumes?
[03:39] <Volund> you mean like RAID?
[03:39] <nullx> it does raid but it does other stuff as well
[03:39] <nullx> well actually now that I think about it it's largely raid lol
[03:39] <hellslinger> hi guys, does anyone know when UFW gets loaded at bootup? I'm noticing that my router doesn't work right if forwarding ip tables load after ufw?
[03:39] <Volund> hrmngh. I would LIKE to setup my two drives in a RAID1 arrangement. is it possible to engage LVM on a drive that already has data on it?
[03:40] <Volund> I'm assuming not easily. :|
[03:40] <DammitJim> I'm having issues with a domain user authenticating when I try to log on
[03:40] <DammitJim> the workstation has been joined to the domain
[03:40] <DammitJim> but it only pam_unix(su:auth): authentication failure; logname=linuxsupport uid=1000 euid=0 tty=/dev/pts/0 ruser=linuxsupport rhost=  user=pdadmin
[03:41] <Volund> oooh. domain logins
[03:41] <DammitJim> where should I look to troubleshoot this?
[03:41] <Volund> as someone who learned Active Directory, this interests me.
[03:41]  * Volund wonders what Linux uses in place of AD.
[03:41] <DammitJim> I have 20 ubuntu servers that work
[03:41] <DammitJim> just not this one
[03:41] <DammitJim> *sigh*
[03:41] <DammitJim> I joined using krb5, winbind, and samba
[03:41] <cfhowlett> DammitJim, ask #ubuntu-server or #networking        ??
[03:41] <DammitJim> but for my life, I can't see any information as to why it's failing
[03:42] <DammitJim> the /var/log/auth/log only says what I pasted when I try to su - to that domain user

[04:07] <ubuntu123456> Hi guys
[04:09] <ubuntu123456> Anyone use irc on a mobile? I'm trying it now
[04:09] <cfhowlett> !touch | ubuntu123456,
[04:10] <ubuntu123456> Why'd you write touch with the ! Symbol in front?
[04:10] <daftykins> it was a bot factoid
[04:10] <ubuntu123456> I'll check that link now thanks
[04:10] <daftykins> it made the bot talk to you
[04:12] <ubuntu123456> I get duped by bots more often than I would like to admit
[04:12] <MicroAlien> What is the best linux platform?
[04:12] <daftykins> a mean op had a whole conversation with me through one when i was new to IRC :(
[04:13] <ubuntu123456> Ok I don't feel as bad anymore
[04:13] <cfhowlett> I think that might constitute bot abuse, daftykins
[04:14] <daftykins> :D
[04:15] <ubuntu123456> I came here because i thought  making an irc server in Ubuntu would be a cool project
[04:15] <Guest51463> hi all, I have a fresh install and am getting an error after running apt-get update.  after running the suggested command i get access denied (or something of that sort anyway) here is the error any help would be apreciated;}
[04:16] <Guest51463> (gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0:6984): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory
[04:17] <LambdaComplex> MicroAlien: What do you mean by platform exactly?
[04:18]  * cfhowlett prefers the table top platform
[04:18] <daftykins> Guest51463: version?
[04:19] <Guest51463> 14.04 xubuntu i386
[04:19] <daftykins> boot your install media again and check it for defects
[04:19] <Enfermiizah> hola..
[04:20] <cfhowlett> !es | Enfermiizah
[04:20] <Enfermiizah> Hello..
[04:21] <daftykins> hi, got a question?
[04:22] <Guest51463> thanks, i will try, system seems to be running fine, im on it now. if there is an error, do i need to re-install or can be fixed?
[04:23] <daftykins> Guest51463: well checking you installed from good media is a good step #1
[04:23] <daftykins> can't know what to do next without checking that one
[04:23] <guest-DpFgt1> hello. I use 14.04.3 64 bits. AMD Radeon R9 380 GPU with propietary drivers from Synaptic, last thing I did was setup the Compiz to have all magical effects, turn it off, and when I tried to login to my PC again it would not reckognize my password, actually, it would try to login bet then return me to the login screen. I Ctrl-Shift F3 and purged all fglrx drivers, reboot and reisntall them, reboot, and still can't login
[04:23] <Guest51463> yep, makes sense, thanks
[04:24] <iamrohit7> i can use gnome-control-center to create a hotspot on my debian install but why can't i do the same with gnome-control-center in my ubuntu install?
[04:24] <MicroAlien> like ubuntu, debian jessie etc...
[04:24] <daftykins> guest-DpFgt1: check your /home for files not owned by you. "ls -al ~/"
[04:24] <daftykins> MicroAlien: that's nice but this channel is for support only
[04:25] <MicroAlien> Okay was just wondering
[04:27] <guest-DpFgt1> daftykins, How do I make it so I can see the output by page
[04:27] <daftykins> ls -al ~/ | less
[04:29] <guest-DpFgt1> daftykins, Ok, I have no idea what am I looking for XD
[04:29] <guest-DpFgt1> daftykins, What files make my PC not let me login?
[04:29] <LambdaComplex> guest-DpFgt1: ....lolwut
[04:29] <daftykins> something that says "root root" beside it instead of "yourusername yourusername"
[04:30] <LambdaComplex> daftykins: That's an interesting question. Fill me in?
[04:30] <daftykins> after the actual support query is resolved perhaps
[04:30] <LambdaComplex> Okay, just tell me what file he's checking the owner and group of :P
[04:30] <daftykins> guest-DpFgt1: or you could just run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit" and link me
[04:31] <daftykins> everything in ~ to diagnose login loops
[04:32] <daftykins> guest-DpFgt1: getting there?
[04:36] <guest-DpFgt1> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12551253/
[04:36] <daftykins> oh dear yes
[04:37] <daftykins> guest-DpFgt1: "sudo chown -R administrador: ~/" then reboot
[04:37] <guest-DpFgt1> daftykins, What do you see there?
[04:37] <guest-DpFgt1> ok
[04:37] <daftykins> files owned by root
[04:38] <guest-DpFgt1> daftykins, How did that happened?
[04:38] <daftykins> i guess you ran something silly like 'sudo startx' :>
[04:38] <[n0mad]> I see it all the time
[04:38] <guest-DpFgt1> daftykins, I did :)
[04:39] <daftykins> yep, never again
[04:39] <guest-DpFgt1> I promise
[04:39] <daftykins> haha
[04:39] <guest-DpFgt1> Thanks a lot!
[04:39] <guest-DpFgt1> I'll see if it works
[04:39] <daftykins> np
[04:55] <trong> hihiihihi
[04:55] <daftykins> morning
[05:01] <eurodance> how do i make f5 refresh my browser
[05:01] <daftykins> it already does 0o
[05:02] <eurodance> I sue xubuntu
[05:02] <eurodance> use
[05:02] <jan_> Hello All
[05:04] <jan_> Please suggest me chat shorthand sofware ? I want to  use this app every day as our own support ticket system.
[05:05] <daftykins> this is an IRC chat network, you can make your own
[05:05] <daftykins> no idea how you'd make it short :P
[05:06] <cfhowlett> jan_, you *could* use the software you're using right now, could you not?
[05:11] <Archyme1> msg
[05:13] <Archyme1> what is command to see all file folder sizes in a directory using terminal?
[05:21] <jeaye> Where are the channel logs?
[05:22] <cfhowlett> !logs | jeaye
[05:23] <jeaye> thanks
[05:23] <jeaye> Ah, that makes since harder to grep.
[05:23] <LambdaComplex> Archyme1: Probably du or df
[05:24] <jeaye> Anyone else been having issues with clang-3.6 from llvm-toolchain-precise-3.6 not being found with apt?
[05:24] <LambdaComplex> Archyme1: (both support -h for human-readable)
[05:24] <jeaye> Been happening on my travis-ci 12.04 machines, after having worked for weeks.
[05:25] <LambdaComplex> Archyme1: ncdu (ncurses du) is also very nice
[05:27] <LambdaComplex> Archyme1: I think "du -h -d 1" is probably the closest exact answer to your question
[05:28] <LambdaComplex> (and -a will include files rather than just folders)
[05:33] <sangloupmon> 哈喽
[05:33] <sangloupmon> 有人吗
[05:33] <cfhowlett> !cn | sangloupmon
[05:33] <icecoldkilla> Hi
[05:33] <sangloupmon> HI
[05:34] <icecoldkilla> How are you?
[05:34] <icecoldkilla> :)
[05:34] <sangloupmon> I AM fiine
[05:34] <icecoldkilla> Lubuntu 14.04.3 LTS here
[05:34] <sangloupmon> my english is very bad
[05:34] <icecoldkilla> Nice to meet you
[05:34] <icecoldkilla> So is mine
[05:34] <sangloupmon> me too
[05:35] <sangloupmon> you are chinese?
[05:35] <cfhowlett> sangloupmon, ask your ubuntu question.  or perhaps ask in #ubuntu-cn for Chinese
[05:35] <icecoldkilla> Same pinch
[05:35] <icecoldkilla> No.
[05:35] <icecoldkilla> What is your question?
[05:35] <sangloupmon> where are you come from?
[05:35] <icecoldkilla> India. You?
[05:35] <cfhowlett> sangloupmon, doesn't matter.  ask your UBUNTU question
[05:36] <sangloupmon> china
[05:36] <icecoldkilla> Hello neighbour
[05:36] <icecoldkilla> Mainland?
[05:36] <sangloupmon> hi , india is a very beautiful place
[05:37] <cfhowlett> icecoldkilla, sangloupmon if you want to socialize, go to a private channel.  this is ubuntu support.  please stay on topic.
[05:37] <icecoldkilla> China is great! Ni Hao
[05:37] <tachibana> just installed LXDE from software market
[05:37] <icecoldkilla> Sorry. My Chinese brother, please ask your question
[05:38] <icecoldkilla> I hope I'm able to help you with ubuntu
[05:38] <tachibana> logged out, and its still booting up
[05:38] <tachibana> in Unity
[05:38] <sangloupmon> please ask your question？
[05:38] <tachibana> how do I remove unity
[05:38] <sangloupmon> What problem？
[05:38] <icecoldkilla> Yes. You need some help with Lubuntu?
[05:38] <tachibana> and initiate my install of LXDE
[05:38] <icecoldkilla> Tachibana why don't you install lubuntu instead?
[05:39] <icecoldkilla> It's the same ubuntu in LXDE
[05:39] <sangloupmon> my english is very poor
[05:39] <tachibana> wouldn't that be like waisting 200 mb bandwidth vses downloading 13 mb?
[05:39] <cfhowlett> sangloupmon, I told you the chinese channel = #ubuntu-cn
[05:39] <icecoldkilla> You're right though
[05:40] <tachibana> no wai
[05:40] <icecoldkilla> Sometimes things go horribly wrong when changing DE
[05:41] <sangloupmon> i want to learn english with you
[05:41] <tachibana> last time i installed gnome perfectly then tried apt-geting and software managering for the same file
[05:41] <tachibana> to download XDFE
[05:41] <cfhowlett> sangloupmon, this is not the "learn english" channel.   sorry.
[05:41] <tachibana> and ubuntu would not bootup
[05:41] <icecoldkilla> Add me sangloupmon
[05:42] <tachibana> i even aptget update and upgraded twice inbetween installs and it still came out courrupting the system somehow?
[05:42] <tachibana> so I am slowly accepting I am inferior
[05:42] <icecoldkilla> It happened with me
[05:43] <icecoldkilla> You're not inferior, my friend. It's just that you need to have a little more expertise
[05:43] <icecoldkilla> The only susscessful DE installation I have done is installing XFCE
[05:43] <sangloupmon> i add you <icecoldkilla>
[05:44] <tachibana> you magician
[05:44] <icecoldkilla> Thanks Sangloupmon
[05:44] <icecoldkilla> There are guides online
[05:55] <tachibana> just removed unity and update/upgraded, hopefully i didnt need to install lxde again to reupdate architecture things somehow.. :/ wish me luck i really dont want to install ubuntu again 5 times
[05:56] <tachibana> :'[
[05:56] <icecoldkilla> Best of luck
[05:56] <icecoldkilla> :)
[06:07] <tachibana> no luck
[06:08] <tachibana> unity is now trying up all weird with bi loauncher or menubars
[06:08] <tachibana> and i gotta navigate with limited command line
[06:09] <icecoldkilla> Have you done some reading online?
[06:09] <bsdnoob> hello , i need bit of help
[06:10] <tachibana> from a few web pages and forum questions and hundreds of answers
[06:10] <notalanturing> bsdnoob: just ask
[06:10] <tachibana> literally
[06:10] <bsdnoob> ubuntu is not installing in uefi mode
[06:10] <tachibana> omg uefi mode
[06:10] <bsdnoob> i just installed it and grub loads only in legacy mode
[06:10] <tachibana> makes me want to throw a yheti out 7 story window
[06:10] <icecoldkilla> Have you found some reliable tutorial
[06:11] <bsdnoob> how can i fix it ?
[06:11] <bsdnoob> debian is having same problem
[06:11] <bsdnoob> :/
[06:11] <tachibana> now im attempting to try installing xfce4 from commandline over lxdecorrupted and tainted unity shell
[06:11] <notalanturing> bsdnoob: May I suggest the following reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI ?
[06:12] <tachibana> should i update/upgrade before logging out? or restart or what?
[06:12] <bsdnoob> notalanturing, yes i read it
[06:12] <icecoldkilla> You can restart and do the upgrade update part later
[06:12] <cfhowlett> !who
[06:13] <tachibana> do you think not restarting is the cause of this problem?
[06:13] <tachibana> on guides i keep seeing just logout i swear
[06:14] <bsdnoob> notalanturing , when i choose 'something else' and assign efi partition as mount point
[06:14] <icecoldkilla> You can see if restarting works
[06:14] <bsdnoob> it just shows /dos and /windows
[06:14] <bsdnoob> no /boot/efi
[06:14] <bsdnoob> :(
[06:15] <bsdnoob> and if i use automatic installer , ubuntu is installed in bios mode
[06:15] <bsdnoob> no efi mode
[06:16] <bsdnoob> even  Boot-Repair tool does't shows to install grub in efi partition
[06:16] <bsdnoob> what can cause this?
[06:16] <notalanturing> bsdnoob: I assume you want to dual-boot with Microsoft Windows and Ubuntu?
[06:16] <icecoldkilla> Is there a separate ubuntu installer with UEFI support?
[06:16] <bsdnoob> yes
[06:16] <icecoldkilla> You can see if there is
[06:17] <bsdnoob> no ubuntu installer automatically detects uefi
[06:17] <icecoldkilla> Hi Sonali
[06:17] <notalanturing> What computer are you using?
[06:17] <bsdnoob> lenovo z51
[06:18] <bsdnoob> i updated bios few days back
[06:18] <bsdnoob> can that cause this?
[06:18] <icecoldkilla> Perhaps
[06:18] <cfhowlett> unlikely
[06:18] <icecoldkilla> Stock Lenovo bios?
[06:18] <bsdnoob> yes
[06:18] <icecoldkilla> Then it cannot
[06:19] <bsdnoob> few months back , everthing installed as expected but i don't know what's happening now
[06:20] <icecoldkilla> Have you google searched "ubuntu not installing UEFI mode"?
[06:21] <bsdnoob> i did
[06:22] <bsdnoob> and i did not get any definitive answers
[06:22] <icecoldkilla> What has changed since when you were successful between now when you have failed?
[06:23] <bsdnoob> bootloader installation fails or is installed in bios mode
[06:23] <icecoldkilla> What may be causing this problem
[06:23] <bsdnoob> i boot usb drive in bios mode , would that cause any trouble ?
[06:24] <icecoldkilla> I don't think so
[06:24] <icecoldkilla> A lot of people use pendrive to boot
[06:25] <bsdnoob> i previously used dvd for installation
[06:25] <icecoldkilla> You can try and see if it works with a DVD
[06:26] <icecoldkilla> UEFI is relatively new. So there may not be ample support for UEFI related problems
[06:26] <bsdnoob> also , is there any way i can run QCA61x4 wifi card in ubuntu ?
[06:26] <saru_> hey .i have aprblm with my ubuntu.when i switch on to ubuntu.it displays only desktop background.no launcher no icons.i cannot open terminal
[06:26] <tachibana> logging out with xdfce4 wish me luck
[06:26] <icecoldkilla> Do you dual boot with windows?
[06:27] <icecoldkilla> Best of luck
[06:28] <wyoung> stub: Sounds like unity died
[06:28] <icecoldkilla> Saru does it occur after a fresh install?
[06:29] <duser8> hi. is programm "hfsprogs" broken in ubuntu? I cannot mount dd-image from mac (hfs+) via partitions-offset anymore: error: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0
[06:31] <saru_> wyoung: yeah i tried that too.i reinstall and enabled unity pluging

[08:01] <lalalala> hi everyone, is it possible to copy apt-get app to another ubuntu (without re-download)?
[08:02] <cfhowlett> lalalala, yep.   apt-get appname.  do not install
[08:02] <lalalala> e.g apt-get jdk8 or something, because it's big size, i want to copy it than re-download it
[08:03] <lalalala> cfhowlett, right apt-get install
[08:03] <cfhowlett> lalalala, READ what i sent you
[08:03] <lalalala> i dont know that trick, let me try
[08:04] <cfhowlett> my mistake lalalala  = apt-get download appname

[08:14] <Anticom> still couldn't get my desktop fixed. Any suggestions on what to do, when i'm missing th launcher on the left as well as the menu bar on top and on all the windows?

[09:21] <alig> btw how can i restore it ?
[09:22] <k1l_> saru_: we need to see the logs to get a clue what is going wrong on your system. so we need to see the "dmesg" and "Xorg.log" called logs which are placed in /var/log
[09:22] <k1l_> alig: what desktop is it?
[09:22] <alig> gnome
[09:23] <k1l_> alig: does the guest account work properly?

[09:26] <alig> doesnt exist )
[09:27] <k1l_> saru_: right now it could be thousands of issues. i suspect it a driver or kernel issue but i dont know due to lack of details. those logs could help getting to know.
[09:27] <saru_> okk
[09:28] <rubytor> did you try? sudo rm ~/.Xauthority
[09:28] <saru_> no

[09:39] <hypermist> rubytor, and i also read it wrong ;)
[09:39] <hypermist> I thought u told him to rm ~/.Xauthority being his user
[09:40] <hypermist> LEl
[09:40] <lelznot> Is there anyway to hide a particular folder in an external HDD?
[09:40] <TJ-> lelznot: hide from who/what ?
[09:42] <lelznot> I have my personal stuff in a folder. I have to lend it to my friend.
[09:43] <TJ-> lelznot: You could possibly encrpyt it using ecryptfs. If your home directory is already using that, and the friend will use a separate user profile, then that would be sufficient - although it doesn't stop the files being deleted

[09:43] <vvH1p|a5h> Hello, I'm starting to use ubuntu and I would like some help. I'm trying to install skype on my 64bits system and I'm having problems. First I need to remove all the junk installation that I have done and the configuration archives. I'm trying to use the command: "sudo apt-get remove skype skype-bin rm -rf ~/.skype". But it returns me: "E: Option of line command 'r' [de -rf] is unknown". Could someone help-me here?
[09:44] <auronandace> vvH1p|a5h: you don't do both comands on the same line at the same time
[09:45] <lelznot> I want the entire folder hidden and don't want the content inside it to come up in searches.
[09:45] <vvH1p|a5h> Oh tank you auronadace
[09:46] <vvH1p|a5h> Could you say-me something about how to get skype 64bits for an ubuntu up-to-date?
[09:47] <Ben64> i don't use skype, but...
[09:47] <Ben64> !skype | vvH1p|a5h
[09:47] <auronandace> vvH1p|a5h: the latest version available in the repos is 4.3
[09:47] <auronandace> vvH1p|a5h: microsoft doesn't really care about the linux client
[09:48] <blah-> i already download the theme on .themes folder
[09:48] <blah-> what is the next step in order to change the theme?
[09:48] <vvH1p|a5h> thank you so much guys
[09:49] <auronandace> blah-: depends on what desktop environment the theme is designed for
[09:49] <blah-> gnome
[09:50] <auronandace> blah-: is that the current gnome-shell or the old gnome 2
[09:50] <blah-> auronandace,
[09:50] <blah-> this is the one
[09:50] <blah-> Aurora   3.16, 3.14, 3.12  Updated
[09:50] <blah-> GTK 3.x Theme/Style
[09:50] <blah-> i'm using ubuntu 14.04LTS
[09:50] <auronandace> blah-: good, in that case after you have put it in the .themes folder you then change the theme as you normally would through the settings
[09:51] <blah-> no need to install ubuntu tweak?
[09:52] <auronandace> blah-: not as far as i'm aware
[09:53] <blah-> ok, i open system settings
[09:53] <blah-> and click appearance right?
[09:55] <auronandace> blah-: if that is how it's done for gnome-shell then yes, i'm using unity
[09:56] <vvH1p|a5h> !ekiga
[10:00] <llareek> Hello
[10:01] <blah-> but on appearance there is no icon to change the theme
[10:02] <blah-> no menu or something to click in order to change it.
[10:04] <hypermist> Is it against Ubuntu's TOS to modify and sell a modified ubuntu distro ?
[10:04] <llareek> Does somebody know how i can disable multi-touch functions in Ubuntu 14.04? I want to use 2 finger scroll but when I do i also activate some "alt-tab" like function. This makes scrolling useless and I really want to disable it.
[10:06] <k1l_> hypermist: if it comes to selling you might want to talk to canonical because of the several trademarks and licences involved
[10:06] <hypermist> how does one contact canonical ?
[10:07] <blueyed> I am not seeing events for (un)plugging a monitor in "udevadm monitor".  It changes in the output of "xrandr -q" though.
[10:07] <k1l_> hypermist: this http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/intellectual-property-policy got a listing what do look at and got a "contact us"

[10:23] <teiion> is it possible to have nautilus/gedit/whatever have that gnome-shell-y interface where toolbar and titlebar are merged, like in gnome-tweak-tool? using fluxbox btw
[10:24] <teiion> oh, it seems it's a thing in a newer gnome/gtk version that isnt in 14.04 yet

[11:07] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[11:08] <Bernzel> I have a harddrive besides my SSD where Ubuntu is installed. It contains lot's of windows stuff from a previous installation. How do I clean this drive? I tried formating it from the Disk software. But that just created a new image of the drive.
[11:08] <capsicum1> hi interested in some help on chroot
[11:09] <auronandace> Bernzel: if you formatted it then the data is effectively gone
[11:09] <Bernzel> auronandace, must've done it wrong then. It still contains all the previous fata
[11:09] <Bernzel> data*
[11:10] <neurotus> what was that package that checked after apt-get update that no processess are using old files ?
[11:10] <auronandace> Bernzel: to format the drive it must be unmounted first
[11:11] <Bernzel> auronandace, Ok! And in "Disks" What Partion should I format? 1 & 2 ? number 2 says "Filesystem" so I guess that is it?
[11:11] <auronandace> Bernzel: i use gparted, i find it more straightforward
[11:12] <auronandace> Bernzel: you should get used to the linux naming conventions for disks and partitions
[11:13] <auronandace> Bernzel: you have 2 disks, if your 1st disk is the ssd then that would be sda
[11:13] <auronandace> Bernzel: the first partition on sda would be sda1
[11:13] <auronandace> Bernzel: your second disk would be sdb

[11:27] <albert> hello
[11:28] <sad> hi
[11:28] <sad> dutch people on board?
[11:28] <albert> what do you think is better for a laptop with only 1GB of RAM? Xubuntu or Lubuntu? and which is more friendly for a simple domestic user?
[11:29] <k1l_> !nl | sad
[11:29] <k1l_> albert: i would start with Lubuntu
[11:29] <cfhowlett> albert, test both.  it's easy to do.  install one.  then install the alternate DE.  logout/choose DE/login
[11:29] <albert> now i'm installing Xubuntu in this laptop, but meanwhile i'm question your opinion cfhowlett
[11:29] <sad> on my xubuntu 14.04 plays blu-ray movies very slowly
[11:30] <cfhowlett> albert, sudo apt install lxde                will grab the alternate DE
[11:30] <albert> cfhowlett: can i have both desktops without problems?
[11:30] <cfhowlett> albert, that is for you to test
[11:31] <albert> is not my laptop, i dont want innecesary programs in the menus etc
[11:31] <jpds> albert: Then don't have two desktops installed if you don't want to confuse the user
[11:31] <cfhowlett> albert, this will grab ONLY the DE not the apps.  see for yourself: apt-get -s lxde
[11:31] <albert> okey jpds , because the user is my grandpa xd
[11:32] <cfhowlett> albert, sorry: apt-get -s install lxde
[11:32] <albert> okey cfhowlett thx

[11:32] <brothersome> sad: Totemplayer of iets anders?
[11:33] <sad> smplayer
[11:33] <sad> gelud en beeld gaat niet samen
[11:34] <brothersome> sad: Doet VLC ook wel - maar kun je gelukkig verschuiven
[11:34] <BluesKaj> sad,  try vlc ?
[11:35] <kuricooly> How to find out running local sites on Ubuntu ?
[11:35] <sad> no , but smplayer has better subtittels system
[11:36] <sad> my english is not very good
[11:36] <BluesKaj> how do you know if you haven't tried it
[11:36] <kuricooly> How to find out running local sites on Ubuntu ?
[11:37] <kuricooly> apache
[11:38] <brothersome> kuricooly, netstat -l shows all listening ports
[11:41] <sikio> vlc has a horrible playback
[11:42] <sikio> artifacts constantly
[11:45] <Mathisen> nothing wrong with vlc
[11:46]  * Mathisen likes it
[11:46]  * cfhowlett plays HD videos ALL the time with VLC
[11:47] <bindi> vlc is horrible in terms of video quality, it really is :P
[11:47] <cfhowlett> ... if you say so.  but I ran the 4k, 60 fps big buck bunny with ZERO issues
[11:47] <bindi> it's faster and plays more thing than the others, and i use it to play things daily sure, but for my series and movies, i use mpc-hc with madvr, lav-filters and reclock
[11:48] <bindi> and we've gone offtopic bai :P

[12:07] <Skummbar> :) great... Ubuntu 15.04 with mate envoirement i got some problem with a Network Print. i have a Kyocera 6501i and i got the right linux drivers from the product website.. i installed it putting the PPD file in CUPS.. and it seams to work. i can print the test page.. but it takes a long time to make up the job.. and when i try to print something el
[12:07] <Skummbar> se it's basically impossible... it totally stucks. suggestions?
[12:07] <Ntemis> any help for my hd videos playing too fast?
[12:09] <Norbin> Is there a fix to this annoying bug where my 2nd letter also gets CAps-locked all the time?
[12:09] <Norbin> Others are having it as well?
[12:09] <anony> Hello everyone :) I have installed 'Ubuntu 14.04' using the Automated process + LVM, I was wondering how to add swap space. (Gparted doesn't seem to work, GUI)
[12:10] <BluesKaj> Ntemis,  what's the source and player?
[12:10] <Ntemis> smplayer
[12:10] <Ntemis> mkv 1080p/720p
[12:10] <cfhowlett> !swap | anony
[12:11] <Ntemis> all began after my hw upgrade to 14.04.3 from .2
[12:11] <Ntemis> hw stuck
[12:12] <BluesKaj> Ntemis,  I haven't had much luck with smplayer. VLC works well
[12:12] <Ntemis> *stack
[12:12] <Ntemis> vlc works ok yes
[12:16] <CodeChris> boichev: it's out of scope for this channel, but OpenBSD can make really good routers with OpenBGPD. Not sure if OpenBGPD has been ported to Linux though
[12:17] <AndChat23529> Hi any good, recent books that anyone can recommend on Ubuntu security? Thanks
[12:17] <boichev> CodeChris: I have OpenBSD on my two gates, so no problem I will check OpenBGPD :) Thanks
[12:19] <aaaa^> is it possible to install Ubuntu on an NTFS usb keydrive ?
[12:19] <usr13>  AndChat23529 Not sure that I've seen one specifically on Ubuntu security.  Can you describe particular interest?
[12:20] <DJones> aaaa^: I wouldn't think so, NTFS doesn't have the necessary file permissions required by any linux distro's, you would need to reformat the usb drive with a recognised linux format
[12:21] <DJones> !persistant | aaaa^ The 2nd link from ubottu will help you installing onto a usb drive
[12:28] <AndChat23529> usr13 I suppose protecting the desktop pc from snooping..not much can be done if the ISP is compromised as they all seem to be now

[12:37] <bindi> is there no way to get the asus xonar dg's headphone amplifier working on ubuntu?
[12:39] <bindi> C-Media CMI8786 is the audio chip, headphone amp is Texas Instruments DRV601RTJR (if that even matters) - in windows you select a headphone amp mode (<32ohm, 32-64ohm, >64ohm) and bam it works

[13:20] <cfhowlett> anony, I see you.  sadly (?), I've never lvm'd so can't advise.
[13:21] <Anthaas> boichev: So, it says "3.19.0-28-generic"
[13:21] <anony> cfhowlett, thanks for the tip so far.
[13:22] <boichev> Anthaas: restart and recheck
[13:22] <Anthaas> My internet has been fine so far. I have rebooted.
[13:24] <T3DDY> Does anyone know if I can get openvpn-as on an intel server
[13:25] <boichev> T3DDY: what is "openvpn-as" ? I know what is "openvpn" but I do not know what the "-as" stands for....
[13:26] <T3DDY> Access Server, I have asked in the server group but Im just curous if anyone else knows
[13:26] <boichev> T3DDY: I can see packages for ubuntu on the openvpn site, why do you expect problems ?
[13:27] <boichev> T3DDY: should be like any other installation
[13:27] <T3DDY> All I can find is packages for AMD servers but my servers are intel
[13:28] <boichev> T3DDY: there will be no problems use them
[13:28] <k1l_> T3DDY: the amd64 is the name for 64bit. the patent for 64bit is from amd. its not only for amd cpus.
[13:29] <T3DDY> Thankyou, I know now :P
[13:29] <boichev> T3DDY: Good luck and have fun :)
[13:29] <shambat> I have some dkms modules that are listed as "installed" in dkms status. How can I actually use these modules? the module I want to use is "ixgbe-zc" which is a network driver, while the driver in use (checked with ethtool) is "ixgbe"
[13:30] <boichev> shambat: lsmod
[13:31] <shambat> boichev: lsmod only lists "ixgbe"
[13:32] <FenJai> Howdy
[13:32] <utu8o> is it true the laptop battery life with Ubuntu is worse than Windows?
[13:32] <neogarfield> Hi... I just installed Kubuntu 15.04 on a Dell laptop, dual booting with Windows 10. However, I'm unable to see the Windows partition from Dolphin. Any help?
[13:32] <boichev> shambat: run it as root "sudo lsmod" it should return more than one
[13:33] <shambat> boichev: there is no difference unfortunately
[13:33] <k1l_> utu8o: that depends on the exact model. but for some models the battery life is worse than windows because the manufacturer doesnt provide the same drivers for better battery usage.
[13:33] <utu8o> neogarfield, did the grub pop up when you started the computer?
[13:33] <boichev> shambat: if it is hot there try loading it with "sudo modprobe ixgbe-zc"
[13:33] <neogarfield> utu8o: Yes, I can enter Windows or Kubuntu from grub
[13:34] <FenJai> My system is telling me that my cd drive is empty even though I just used the OS using it. Why cant I see the files on my CD ?
[13:34] <utu8o> idk
[13:35] <neogarfield> utu8o: The Windows partition is fine I can access it via Windows. But it is not listed on Dolphin to mount, like it generally is in Nautilus (on other systems).
[13:35] <shambat> boichev: so this is strange. modprobe returns that it can't find "ixgbe_zc" even though I asked it to use "ixgbe-zc"
[13:35] <shambat> boichev: don't you have to provide a .ko file usually?
[13:36] <boichev> shambat: insmod requires a .ko file modprobe loads them from /lib/modules/(uname -r)
[13:37] <boichev> /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
[13:37] <shambat> ah
[13:39] <shambat> so dkms has built the module, and "installed" it, but modprobe can't find it
[13:40] <boichev> shambat: search for your .ko file in the system and see if it is in the right place, maybe if it is in the wrong /lib/modules/<kernel_version> you can not load, or the name of the module is different. When you use modprobe omit the trailing .ko
[13:42] <Anthaas> Ugh - I just reminded myself why I hate laptops.
[13:43] <Anthaas> I keep tapping the touchpad with my palm while typing
[13:43] <baffledbear> HAHA. I usually turn off the touchpad while I'm typing.
[13:43] <baffledbear> But your internet is working?
[13:43] <Anthaas> It is! :D
[13:44] <baffledbear> Now is the time for celebratory dance.
[13:44] <anony> I installed "Logical Volume Manager" (system-config-lvm) and It seems that I've got 4GB of swap. - The program randomly crashes though. - My initial concern came from 'System Monitor' which has SWAP marked as "Not Available"
[13:44] <Anthaas> I wonder if there is a way to set a timeout on the touchpad so that it doesn't work until after 1 second after the keyboard stops being used.
[13:44] <baffledbear> That would be a nice feature.
[13:44] <Anthaas> Saying that baffledbear, I can't do two finger scrolling on this touchpad either.
[13:44] <Anthaas> No synaptic drivers :/
[13:44] <Anthaas> Well, none installed anyway
[13:45] <Anthaas> xinput list shows a PS/2 Generic Mouse installed, so if I do xinput list-props <id> here on that mouse I can see that it uses evdev instead?
[13:47] <baffledbear> Sorry, I can't help you there. I got my laptop from Puget Systems. They preinstalled Ubuntu and most of the drivers were already configured properly.
[13:50] <xela2244> hi, i need to restore my iphone, but i don't know icloud password
[13:51] <shambat> boichev: I tried intalling the linux headers for uname -r and doing a  dpkg-reconfigure on the dkms driver package, and it was reinstalled. Now a modprobe inserted the module and show up in lsmod
[13:51] <boichev> shambat: Good job :)
[13:52] <Anthaas> Hmm, found something in xinput list-props called evdev wheel emulation which was set to 0, put it to 1 and awaiting the results.
[13:52] <noahmg123> The locker for lexde doesn't work. If I put my laptop lid down until is suspends the session and then bring it up, I am greeted by a blank screen.
[13:52] <shambat> boichev: so now the next question is: how do I get the network interface to use the driver?
[13:52] <shambat> use thtool perhaps?
[13:53] <Anthaas> Hmm
[13:54] <Anthaas> Can someone help?
[13:54] <Anthaas> If I enter "xinput set-prop 11 276 1" and then restart, the change doesnt persist?
[13:54] <Anthaas> 11 being my touchpad, 276 being evdev wheel emulation
[13:54] <boichev> shambat: aaaa not really sure, check lspci there should be a row named "Kernel driver in use:" maybe.....
[13:55] <boichev> lspci -v
[13:56] <boichev> shambat: looking it again you can check even in lshw -C network and there is a "configuration" row and inside there is "driver=XXXXXX"
[14:03] <boichev> shambat: if the wrong driver is chosen I know that you can blacklist a module and see if the other module will be used, but the testing probably needs local access to the machine... because I just speculate  and never tried that
[14:03] <Anthaas> Has to be said that not having two finger vertical scrolling is the most annoying part of this laptop :(
[14:03] <Anthaas> I cant get the evdev configuration to work :(
[14:04] <shambat> boichev: yeah I have idrac available in case of emergency :)

[14:16] <phree_node> hi there. what utility should i use to backup my files, applications, preferences etc? i want to be able to recover them on a disk partition of larger size (i decided that when i first partitioned my laptop, i made the ubuntu side too small).
[14:20] <phree_node> So in Windows, I know I cant simply copy my "Program Files" folder over to other computers, because they;ll all be missing DLL files. What about with Ubuntu? If I backup packages and applications I stored in, say, /usr/lib, or /usr/share, can I simply copy them onto a removable device and restore them on another machine?
[14:22] <len_ovo> hi all. one question. have wine, and several program (photoshop and other)how lock out/in traffic from program which installed in wine?
[14:23] <JethroTux> hi. I've just instlled linuxmint on my eepc 1025c. it has atom n2800. It goes rendering mode with video driver. video card is an intel corporation atom processor D2xxx/N2xxx integrated graphics controller (rev 09). driver actually is gma500. Any suggestion to solve that? thanks
[14:23] <hexagonSun_> I feel so sorry for all of us asking questions nobody cares to respond
[14:24] <Anthaas> People will reply when A) they can offer some assistance, and B) They aren't too busy with their own tasks.
[14:25] <Anthaas> People dont just sit here waiting for people to ask a question.
[14:25] <hexagonSun_> yeah yeah, we all read the sticky...
[14:26] <Luyin> when I ssh to a server for the first time, I'm asked to check whether it is the right machine I'm trying to connect to with something like this: https://bpaste.net/show/badeb1357aa8. Where on the server is this information stored to authenticate it?
[14:28] <boichev> Luyin: it is stored in ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[14:28] <Luyin> ah, thanks boichev
[14:28] <hexagonSun_> how to save my current nvidia config to my x config file doesn't seem like something that will take a lot of your precious time to answer
[14:29] <baffledbear> Hex: Apologies, I've never used an Nvidia card or hooked up to a TV or I'd try to answer. I'm not familiar with the Proprietary nVidia drivers.
[14:29] <boichev> Luyin: and after the first login if there is a man in the middle this hash will be different and you will know that you are not connecting to the right server
[14:29] <hexagonSun_> baffledbear: I assume most of the ones not answering is because of that, but I also assume I'm not the first person who uses the Nvidia X Server Settings on Ubuntu. thank you anyways.
[14:30] <baffledbear> That being said. Some information that might be helpful is what version of Ubuntu are you using? What card? What kind of connection? I do know that I had some issues with HDMI in 15.04.
[14:31] <baffledbear> I ended up downgrading to 14.04 LTS and my issues went away.
[14:32] <hexagonSun_> I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, using an old GeFore GT430 through HDMI connection, I want to save my current X Server Display Configuration on my X config file so I don't have to configure my display everytime I turn my computer on.
[14:32] <hexagonSun_> GeForce*
[14:33] <nicomachus> hexagonSun_: Why are you having to configure every time? Are you using xrandr?
[14:33] <phree_node> I can't decide what backup/restore utility to use, or if any are suitable to my needs. Can anyone help?
[14:34] <hexagonSun_> nicomachus: I don't know, how can I check that? (if I am ussing it without knowing, is it something I shouldn't be doing?)
[14:36] <pbx> phree_node, you need to say what your needs are
[14:36] <nicomachus> well, if you're having to configure your display with every boot, then how are you configuring it?
[14:36] <alig> what console cmd to see list of wifi ap ?
[14:36] <bishops> boys and girls something is driving me crazy. When I wake my computer up or start it, my wireless goes offline for a bit then searches for a while, then connects to the network. is this something normal?
[14:37] <nicomachus> bishops: yep.
[14:37] <hexagonSun_> nicomachus: I'm using the Nvidia X Server Settings...
[14:37] <phree_node> pbx, I want to backup: *applications that I stored in various locations (/usr/share, /usr/lib, and so on), *system settings, *stuff I installed with apt-get, *python and java libraries, *personal files, *hardware drivers. But I can't make a complete image of the partition because I intend to restore it on a partition of a different (larger) size.
[14:38] <hexagonSun_> phree_node: Why don't you just enlarge your partition?
[14:38] <phree_node> hexagonSun, this will ruin my Win7 partition.
[14:38] <hexagonSun_> phree_node: that would be a good thing :p
[14:39] <phree_node> hexagonSun, that's so helpful to hear.
[14:39] <cfhowlett> eh?  resizing the ntfs partition is not a destructive act ... normally
[14:39] <jan_> s
[14:40] <phree_node> hexagonSun, don't get me wrong, I don't like Win7 that much, but I need it for certain things. I have grown to like Ubuntu very much and that's why I need more space on my Ubuntu partition. But unfortunately I still need to keep a Win7 partition. And Win7 was installed first, so messing with GParted will ruin the bootloader.
[14:41] <nicomachus> hexagonSun_: are you using the GUI to configure the X Server Settings or are you doing it manually?
[14:41] <cfhowlett> phree_node, assuming bootloader = grub, reinstall
[14:41] <hexagonSun_> phree_node: I'm not so sure about that last part, anyway, you don't have to explain yourself to random strangers on chats, I honestly couldn't care less what you like or not :p
[14:41] <hexagonSun_> nicomachus: the GUI
[14:41] <hexagonSun_> I got to go to class now, I will reconnect later, thank you!
[14:42] <phree_node> cfhowlett, so Win7 was installed before Ubuntu was installed. What does that mean for my bootloader situation? When my computer first switches on, I see GRUB, and it gives me an option to either load Ubuntu or Win7
[14:42] <nicomachus> "why won't anyone help me right nowwwww" - "ok fine I'll try" - "sorry gotta go now byeeee" ....
[14:43] <cfhowlett> phree_node, correct.  resizing shouldn't cause grub to lose the links, but if so, boot your ubuntu usb/cdrom and reinstall grub to fix.
[14:43] <albert> hi
[14:43] <cfhowlett> !grub2| phree_node
[14:44] <albert> anybody knows how can i open firefox in maximized windows using a comandline?
[14:44] <CodeChris> type firefox
[14:45] <albert> CodeChris: but the windows don't appear maximized
[14:45] <bishops> boys and girls something is driving me crazy. When I wake my computer up or start it, my wireless goes offline for a bit then searches for a while, then connects to the network. is this something normal?
[14:45] <phree_node> cfhowlett, I still don't understand. Resizing the Ubuntu partition will require that Win7 is resized, which will ruin it. Then I'll need to reinstall windows, which will later require reinstalling Ubutntu, no?
[14:45] <CodeChris> odd, does for me. You can pass commands though, check --preferances
[14:46] <cfhowlett> phree_node, false!
[14:46] <nicomachus> bishops: the last time you asked that I said "yes".
[14:46] <phree_node> which part?
[14:46] <cfhowlett> !dualboot | phree_node
[14:46] <cfhowlett> read the wiki phree_node.  resizing windows7 is easily done and in no way necessitates reinstallation
[14:46] <Rexter> albert, i think you'll have to create a script, then replace your firefox launcher shortcuts with the script.

[14:47] <k0mp0> is it possible to remove old recognized nics from ubuntu so that the remaining two nics are eth0, eth1?
[14:47] <cfhowlett> phree_node, more precisely:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoResizeWindowsPartitions#Windows_Vista_and_Windows_7
[14:52] <k0mp0> think i found my answer : http://clintboessen.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/removing-nic-which-no-longer-exists-in.html
[14:53] <phree_node> cfhowlett - so is this right--- I can resize Win7 using GParted, running off an Ubuntu memory-stick. (I assume GParted will also resize the Ubuntu partition with no ill-effects). Then I will likely encounter "booting problems" in Windows. To fix this: plug in Win7 stick, in GRUB choose "boot Win7", it will load up the Win7 installation tool, choose "repair installation"  - this will reinstall the bootloader and make Win7 bootable a
[14:54] <mzaza> I have a server running Ubuntu which we host on a web application project. This project has many members working on it, sometimes on the same file at the same time. To avoid any problem that could occur incase if someone has comitted changes and the other hasn't seen them yet. Is that where revision control systems comes in handy?
[14:54] <cfhowlett> phree_node, if and only if the windows doesn't boot from grub.  my win7 didn't fail when I resized, but it did immediately demand a chkdsk
[14:54] <CodeChris> mzaza: yes, check out git
[14:54] <mzaza> CodeChris: Thanks
[14:55] <phree_node> cfhowlett - so you begain with Ubuntu, and made a Win7 partition? Instead of the other way round (which is supposedly easier)??
[14:55] <Geosearchef> Does anyone of you have some experience with nvidia optimus systems using bumblebee?
[14:56] <cfhowlett> phree_node, no I did it right.  windows + ubuntu.  I later realized I needed to re-partition to gain some extra space and add a dedicated /home.
[14:56] <phree_node> cfhowlett - oh like me
[14:56] <cfhowlett> phree_node, great minds ... :)
[14:56] <dpluth> cfhowlett: couldn't phree_node resize windows from within windows? I think it'd be a bit safer
[14:56] <nicomachus> dpluth: no..
[14:57] <cfhowlett> dpluth, I did advise him of that option via the link
[14:57] <phree_node> dpluth - Windows has Disk Management, but it only lets you resize Win7 partition a tiny bit normally - because Windows puts page files and other things at the very end of the partition table.
[14:57] <nicomachus> wait, what? You can resize a windows partition from within that partition...?
[14:57] <CodeChris> I think that improved a lot with W8 phree_node
[14:58] <phree_node> nicomachus - yes that's correct, using the "disk management" utility
[14:58] <nicomachus> windows is weird.
[14:58] <cfhowlett> never used it.  gparted = magic
[14:58] <phree_node> uh-oh, I've made you all talk about Windows!!!
[14:58] <nicomachus> !ot | everyone
[14:59] <phree_node> still though, the question was germane because it was about how to get Ubuntu and Win happily side by side, after resizing them both.
[15:00] <cfhowlett> phree_node, read the last link I sent, take your time, double check before you <return> and of course, do all your backups before you do any of the above
[15:01] <phree_node> let's imagine I choose to go the GParted route like cfhowlett suggested. Can I make a backup of my drivers before I take the plunge? Because after much tinkering and updating, things are finally running quite smooth - I'd hate to think how things would go after a total fresh reinstall.
[15:01] <xpl0iter> Why would this error come: sudo: unable to resolve host ip-172-31-129-114
[15:02] <CodeChris> You could run cloneziller phree_node  so you have an exact copy of your existing HDD
[15:02] <xpl0iter> When I type sudo with any command, this error comes
[15:02] <cfhowlett> phree_node, apt-get download will grab the .debs.  save those to a save spot and dpkg -i          should the need arise
[15:02] <cfhowlett> but yeah, cloning might just be the wiser option
[15:02] <phree_node> CodeChris yeah but that's no good because I'm resizing partitions.
[15:02] <CodeChris> Well, if it goes wrong you can start again
[15:02] <CodeChris> just put the backup back on the HDD and try again
[15:03] <phree_node> cfhowlett: sorry just to clarify - runing "sudo apt-get download" will download and store .debs of my drivers someplace? where?
[15:03] <cfhowlett> phree_node, where you decide
[15:03] <mustmodify> I doubled my RAM and now I'm having problems with networking and video issues. I looked through my syslog and found "BAD grad_size" ... could that be related? Anyone have any thoughts about how to fix this? https://gist.github.com/mustmodify/0fa59bfa323fabc1bc1e#file-gistfile1-txt-L264-L301
[15:04] <cfhowlett> phree_node, and that's sudo apt-get download packagenamehere
[15:05] <cfhowlett> actually you need not sudo
[15:05] <phree_node> cfhowlett well how do I know what all my driver pakages are called?
[15:05] <lehzm> how do i search for an installed package at the cli?
[15:05] <lehzm> i want to purge an app but dont know its name
[15:05] <cfhowlett> phree_node, gotta research that one yourself.  what drivers are you referring to??
[15:05] <pbx> lehzm, what do you know about it?
[15:05] <lehzm> can i pipe an include or grep?
[15:06] <lehzm> its quake
[15:06] <lehzm> but dont know the exact pkg
[15:06] <cfhowlett> lehzm, dpkg -l | grep quake*
[15:06] <lehzm> ah cool
[15:06] <lehzm> thank you
[15:06] <lehzm> learned something :)
[15:06] <phree_node> cfhowlett - my wifi driver was acting a fool when i first got the computer. now it's settled down, i think since some updates were installed. that one in particular. i also have an nvidia driver but that's not too hard to get back.
[15:06] <cfhowlett> happy2help! lehzm
[15:07] <cfhowlett> phree_node, the wifi might seem the bigger challenge.  is it a broadcom chipset?

[15:09] <zykotick9> lehzm: sidenote to cfhowlett's suggestion, you might want to try "dpkg -l | grep quake" first, or if you know it starts with quake "dpkg -l | grep ^quake" (for quake it probably doesn't make much difference, but for other searches it might cut down on the clutter)

[15:14] <phree_node> cfhowlett - no its not broadcom, it's intel. But as I say, it was a nightmare, then it just settled down, with no input from me. I think it was after a round of software updates but I can't be too sure.
[15:15] <jaska__> everythong will be fix in 15.04 update
[15:16] <brothersome> gunfus, imho not possible with grub or another tool, this is a raid question

[15:17] <jaska__> ubuntu is fater than windows but it hass less support than windows. i am chat bot ver 1.3 beta
[15:17] <gunfus> brothersome: maybe we are missunderstanding.. I just want to know where my Grub2 so that I don't blow it away..

[15:22] <gunfus> brothersome: right.. MBR(disk1 bootable) ---points to---> grub2 src files (disk2)..
[15:23] <brothersome> gunfus, Yes, and your grub2 files are in the filestructure of your Xubuntu
[15:23] <gunfus> brothersome: what I want to do now..is leave grub2 only on disk2, and create a new partition that I can use for adding storage to my LVM on disk1
[15:23] <gunfus> right
[15:24] <gunfus> brothersome: okay.. so maybe the solution is mount grub2 on disk1, then..

[15:25] <darkonlight> hi
[15:25] <darkonlight> one question. have wine and several program. how block out/in traffic from wine
[15:25] <darkonlight>  or program which work in wine
[15:25] <cfhowlett> !ufw | darkonlight,
[15:26] <brothersome> gunfus, ok, make a small linux partition on disk 1 (ext3/ext4) and copy the grub2 files there and use the repair disk for grub2 to see if you can change to point the MBR to the right grub2 files
[15:26] <cool_boy> hi, how do I access ftp on ubunutu terminal? I am trying like ftp local_ip_address_ftp_running_on:port
[15:26] <cool_boy> it doesn't connect me to ftp
[15:26] <brothersome> cool_boy, Why don't you use FileZilla?
[15:27] <cool_boy> brothersome: because I needing to test it on a linux server
[15:27] <gunfus> brothersome: hmm yeah.. the problem is that disk1 has barely any space.. thus the reason for trying to make a new partition on disk2..
[15:27] <gunfus> hmm
[15:27] <darkonlight> thanks
[15:28] <gunfus> brothersome: I think I am just going to have to bite the bullet and move files around..
[15:29] <brothersome> gunfus, I am serious about that repair disk - so you always have an option to repair
[15:29] <gunfus> brothersome: okay.. will do.. hopefuly I can put the repair disk stuff on a USB key or something.. who uses disks now a days..? I don't even have a CD-ROM on that unit
[15:30] <brothersome> cool_boy, So you are talking about Ubuntu-server edition without any gui
[15:30] <nicomachus> cool_boy: are you sure the FTP server is configured properly and is set to listen?
[15:30] <brothersome> gunfus, yes
[15:30] <gunfus> brothersome: cool thanks for the response.. that is whay I mostly needed a linux-buddy-to-talkt-to
[15:30] <cool_boy> brothersome: yes on filezilla it is listening and working well
[15:30] <cool_boy> brothersome: yes through terminal
[15:30] <albert> i'm using xubuntu and i cant restart the system but if i choose the poweroff option then it turns frezzie before off
[15:30] <albert> anybody knows how can i fix this?
[15:30] <nicomachus> "it turns frezzie"?
[15:31] <brothersome> cool_boy, I use openssh for my webserver - that works fine
[15:31] <albert> i can restart the system without problems (fixed) but i can not to poweroff
[15:31] <albert> because it turns frezzer
[15:31] <albert> freeze
[15:32] <albert> crash, break, blocked
[15:33] <nicomachus> albert: I'm reading some interesting threads... do you have AMD/ATI drivers installed?
[15:33] <albert> is a new installation
[15:34] <nicomachus> albert: ok, is there an AMD graphics card in the machine?
[15:35] <albert> i found a suposed solution and this consist to change the /etc/default/grub and add something like 'acpi=force' but it not works for me
[15:36] <nicomachus> what version of xubuntu?
[15:36] <albert> if i type the command 'lspci | grep AMD' it returns nothing
[15:36] <albert> the same if i try with ATI
[15:36] <OerHeks> lspci | grep VGA
[15:36] <albert> xubuntu 14.04
[15:36] <cool_boy> brothersome: thing is I am working on a document management software which implements ftp, I am able to get it working using filezilla would like to get it working through command line so I can test it on server as locally
[15:36] <nicomachus> albert: some solutions here you may try: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2217602
[15:37] <geosearchef>  How do I install a driver for a dedicated graphics card on an optimus laptop (haswell + gt 740m)? When using optirun i just get the error: "Cannot access secondary gpu". (dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12555400/)
[15:38] <cool_boy> brothersome: I need to pass username of ftp user(which is not a system user but only a user in a database)
[15:39] <Bundestrojaner> any idea how i can fix this error while installing gdb-arm-none-aebi:
[15:39] <Bundestrojaner> dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/gdb-arm-none-eabi_<IP_ADDRESS>31218-0ubuntu1+1_amd64.deb (--unpack):  trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/gdb.1.gz', which is also in package gdb 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2
[15:39] <Bundestrojaner> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12555332/
[15:39] <crayolarx> albert: what does your /var/log/syslog say it is hanging on when you try to restart?
[15:40] <brothersome> coolboy, not the same as ssh? open user@localhost ?
[15:41] <nicomachus> Bundestrojaner: try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[15:41] <jpds> Bundestrojaner: Remove gdb?
[15:43] <Bundestrojaner> nicomachus: and than try again?
[15:43] <nicomachus> then try sudo apt-get install -f
[15:45] <cool_boy> brothersome: I found it thanks, while specifying port it takes space not ':', what I was trying
[15:45] <cool_boy> thanks
[15:46] <Bundestrojaner> nicomachus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12555638/ it didn't install it...
[15:46] <Bundestrojaner> the listed packages for autoremove are the dependencies
[15:47] <albert> crayolarx: nothing is working
[15:47] <nicomachus> autoremove, and then try re-installing gdb-arm-none-aebi
[15:50] <Bundestrojaner> nicomachus: same problem. shall i try to remove gdb? but i think it's not unusual to have dgb for more than one architecture?
[15:51] <Bundestrojaner> so i have no idea why the packages block each other
[15:51] <nicomachus> purge them all and then reinstall the ones you need I guess.
[15:52] <albert> crayolarx: if i type sudo shutdown -h now it turns off well

[15:53] <xela2244> hi, i need to restore my iphone but i don't know my icloud password, any solutions?
[15:53] <nicomachus> xela2244: this is not an iphone support channel...
[15:53] <cfhowlett> xela2244, only one. Ask APPLE not ubuntu
[15:53] <crayolarx> albert: so you only have issues with restarting?
[15:54] <xela2244> i tried using idevicerestore
[15:54] <albert> i dont understand nothing........ now is working well in anyway....
[15:54] <cfhowlett> xela2244, you are in the wrong channel.  we can't help you. ask apple
[15:55] <xela2244> well, does someone know how to install idevicerestore?
[15:55] <albert> crayolarx: restarting runs correctly since the first moment, the problem was when i choose 'shutdown' option (Apagar in spanish)
[15:55] <cfhowlett> xela2244, you are trolling us, right?  ha ha not funny.  go to apple.
[15:55] <xela2244> apple tells me that i need icloud password
[15:56] <albert> lol
[15:56] <cfhowlett> and now you are ignored.  later
[15:56] <nicomachus> xela2244: there is nothing we can do for you.
[15:56] <xela2244> and idevicerestore is a tool for linux, but i'm having problems installing it
[15:56] <mikkqu> hello guys, i'm currently using latest available ubuntu version: Linux xmikhka 3.8.0-19-generic #30~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 1 22:26:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linu

[15:56] <mikkqu> how can I easily recompile and use new kernel? i need to modify exactly one config option...
[15:57] <h00k> !recompile | mikkqu
[15:57] <cfhowlett> !kernel | mikkqu "easily" ????
[15:57] <mikkqu> i've tried the way from the faq, but it failed at "apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`"
[15:57] <mikkqu> i got the following messages: Picking 'linux-lts-raring' as source package instead of 'linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic'
[15:57] <mikkqu> E: Unable to find a source package for linux-lts-raring
[15:58] <xela2244> https://github.com/libimobiledevice/idevicerestore
[15:58] <mikkqu> is it okay, if I just take vanilla kernel from git? 3.8.0-19?
[15:59] <mikkqu> i don't want unexpected effects, so I would like to use the same version that I have now, just with changed option
[15:59] <mikkqu> and i can't figure out why apt-get suggesting me to get "lts-raring" src instead of what i'm currently use
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> mikkqu  there's also #ubuntu-kernel
[16:00] <mikkqu> MonkeyDust: oh, i didn't know that. i'll try to ask there as well, thanks
[16:00] <xela2244> ./autogen.sh: line 6: libtoolize: command not found
[16:01] <h00k> xela2244: you will have to check with that program's documentation, we can't do much becuse it's not in the repository
[16:02] <h00k> xela2244: if it's something you need to compile, you might need build-essentials (sudo apt-get install build-essentials)
[16:02] <h00k> xela2244: otherwise we can't really help you

[16:04] <zathras> Hi. I am trying to use a Docker container defined by someone 2 years ago based on Ubuntu Precise. The dockerfile does some apt-get update/upgrade and installing. Including atempts to install apache2.2 and perl. Failing on both due to version issues. What can I do about this? I chnaged apt-get install to aptitude install but that claims perl is not installed/going to be installed. I have my doubts as perl is mandatory for lots of system scr

[16:10] <atdiehm> Hey guys, got a machine in my office here that kernel panics... the girl said he was giving her fits last week, too, but she'd reboot it and it'd be fine.  (3 beeps from the tower, and then kernel panic ) ... I booted onto the live cd, ran fdsk, it said there were errors, but it didn't seem to say anything needed repairs.  Any thoughts/ideas?
[16:12] <nicomachus> atdiehm: in my experience, kernel panics are always untraceable. However, the first thing to check is usually hardware. HDD, HDD cable, RAM. something is pushing out corrupt bits.
[16:13] <bazbing80> ENV['TERM'] : this returns the type of terminal we're running our ruby application in, right? I want to know what terminal my ruby application is running in because of discrepencies between SGR codes. I want certain SGR constants in my application to be different based on the terminal the program is running in. Now, ENV['TERM'] for a gnome terminal in Ubuntu returns "xterm". I was hoping for "gnome 6.1.3" but is "xterm" all I need? Gnome is a sor
[16:13] <atdiehm> I flipped out the ram... I'm assuming the disc has some errors, but I was confused that fsck didn't ask me to fix anything
[16:13] <bazbing80> I thought this was the Ruby channel :P But as you can see it's mostly an Ubuntu question
[16:13] <atdiehm> i guess I was hoping fsck would fix things, and I could reboot all happy-like
[16:14] <zathras> atdiehm, try smartmon-tools
[16:14] <zathras> also memtest86
[16:14] <atdiehm> smartmon-tools is something on the live dvd then?
[16:15] <zathras> no idea. I rarely use ubuntu.
[16:15] <zathras> it probably is
[16:15] <zathras> also check dmesg
[16:15] <atdiehm> I would have run memtest, but as I mentioned since I flipped out ram with another machine and got the same 3 beeps and kernel panic, I figured it was safe to say the ram isn't an/the issue
[16:15] <nicomachus> atdiehm: SMART disk check is on the live disk, yes.
[16:15] <zathras> you are probably right, yet assumption is the mother of all all f*ck ups
[16:15] <nicomachus> that'll check your HDD
[16:16] <atdiehm> kk
[16:16] <atdiehm> kuz if I can run ubuntu fine off the DVD... that seems like a solid indication that the issue is storage related, eh?
[16:19] <bazbing80> Are all terminals based on xterm the same? Are all sgr codes, for example, the same between gnome and another terminal based on xterm?
[16:22] <zathras> How can I fix (in Ubuntu Precise): perl : Depends: perl-base (= 5.14.2-6ubuntu2) but 5.14.2-6ubuntu2.4 is to be installed
[16:23] <zathras> error is produced by an installation docker script running apt-get install
[16:23] <zathras> bazbing80, ino, not all terminals are the same
[16:24] <zathras> *no
[16:30] <zathras> it looks like perl has a hardcoded version instead of a minimal and maximum version. And that in a LTS release???
[16:39] <jtheuer> Hi, which program creates the ssh keys at first boot? (aws ec2 default ami for 14.04 if that matters) ?
[16:40] <OerHeks> jtheuer, you might want to ask in ##aws
[16:41] <jtheuer> Thanks. When/how are they created when I install via CD? when the openssh
[16:42] <jtheuer> ...package is installed?
[16:42] <OerHeks> jtheuer, that is aws specific, they should be able to tell you
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> jtheuer  type /j ##aws   <-- 400+ people there
[16:45] <jtheuer> OerHeks, the second question is about cd installation and not aws
[16:45] <jtheuer> But thanks for the pointer to #aws I already asked there
[16:46] <OerHeks> jtheuer, not sure there are ssh keys generated during install from cd
[16:46] <OerHeks> you need to do that action yourself, afaik
[16:46] <OerHeks> !ssh
[16:46] <allballs> Good morning. I've just completed a 14.04 -> 14.10 upgrade, wanted to do 15.04, but I guess I had to stop in 14.10-land for a few minutes. I'm receiving a dreaded 'An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.' message during upgrade process. Need some help trying to get around this.
[16:46] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys#Generating_RSA_Keys
[16:47] <allballs> I lack sufficient knowledge on how to parse what's in /var/log/dist-upgrade to figure out a solution.
[16:47] <OerHeks> allballs, 14.10 is EOL, dead.
[16:47] <Rimann> Apparently some people have been having problems with a workspace bug, screen freezes up. It happened to me when tring to install sketchup, I had to reboot the system. What happens when you reboot in the middle of an installation?
[16:48] <cfhowlett> allballs, is there something in particular preventing you from a clean installation?
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> Rimann  you'll have to to   sudo apt-get install -f , or   sudo dpkg --configure -a
[16:48] <OerHeks> allballs, you might need the eol-update trick with 'old-releases
[16:49] <OerHeks> !eolupgrade
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> to do*
[16:49] <Rimann> MonkeyDust: ok do I just type that in the terminal? what does it do?
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> Rimann  it completes the broken installation
[16:50] <Rimann> MonkeyDust Awesome thank you
[16:51] <allballs> OerHeks: thanks. I'll give it a go. I knew 14.10 was kaput, but I wasn't paying very close attention during release-upgrade. FIgured it'd go straight to 15.04.
[16:51] <lehzm> id like to try a 15.x ubuntu variant on my desktop. the ones i like are all based on 14.x (LXLE, Peppermint). Any suggestions to try out?
[16:51] <lehzm> i do like xubuntu
[16:52] <cfhowlett> !flavors | lehzm,
[16:52] <reisio> lehzm: I suggest trying things you want to try
[16:52] <MonkeyDust> Rimann  more advanced, paste this script in leafpad or so, save as 'fixpakages', make executable and run: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12556283/
[16:53] <nicomachus> and as far as 15.x goes, 15.04 is the only release currently available. 15.10 is slated to release 18 October, IIRC.
[16:53] <cfhowlett> lehzm, but the clever folk install ONE ubuntu, add virtualbox and test ... whatever they want to test in the box
[16:53] <cfhowlett> nicomachus, false.  12.04 and 14.04 are both available and supported
[16:53] <lehzm> yeah i test them in VMs first, just seeing if there was a distro based on updated code i dont know about
[16:53] <lehzm> but cool, thnx
[16:53] <nicomachus> cfhowlett: he said he wanted to try something 15.x
[16:54] <cfhowlett> nicomachus, ah, yes.  my mistake.
[16:54] <nicomachus> we all make them, me more than most. :)
[16:55] <Rimann> MonkeyDust: is leafpad a text editor? I use sublime
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> Rimann  hence 'or so', the editor you're familiar with
[16:56] <nicomachus> Rimann: yes. it's the default on lubuntu
[16:57] <Rimann> MonkeyDust ok cool, just double checking
[16:57] <Rimann> nicomachus thanks i'm new just switched over from a lifetime of windows
[16:57] <nicomachus> Welcome. :)
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> Rimann  you're never too young to make the switch to linux
[16:58] <nicomachus> or too old.
[17:00] <Rimann> MonkeyDust what kind of file should i save it as?
[17:01] <Rimann> I love Linux so far, i'm too mechanically minded for windows
[17:02] <Rimann> MonkeyDust those first to lines you gave me did nothing
