[11:30] <hebz0rl> dw1, yeah i probably would have to do something like that
[11:30] <hebz0rl> dw1, thx!
[11:30] <karab44> yayks, it's not for nautilus window but firefox slide bar...
[11:30] <jkrx> jechadwell99: you are using AMD driver and ubunut 14.04?

[11:31] <jechadwell99> I'm using the default on 14.04
[11:31] <karab44> ok but basically gnome I think..
[11:31] <jechadwell99> whatever the default is
[11:32] <jkrx> jechadwell99: ok follow the instructions here http://www.securethelock.com/2014/04/20/installing-configuring-amdati-drivers-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr/

[11:33] <io_____> hi i am trying out the windows scale Compiz function, but it seems like it only brings to front certain windows not all of them
[11:33] <jechadwell99> jkrx: does that change anything
[11:33] <jkrx> jechadwell99: oh thats legacy now so might be tricky to get to work properly. Try following instructions in that link
[11:34] <ABDU1989> How Match Tvheadend and showtime?
[11:34] <jechadwell99> ok
[11:34] <jechadwell99> jkrx: is it safe to try
[11:35] <jkrx> jechadwell99: yes it will only reinstall and configure amd drivers
[11:35] <jechadwell99> jkrx: I guess I'm just a bit worried about not being able to boot up (happened before)
[11:36] <jkrx> jechadwell99: worst that can happen is that xorg wont be working. In that case remove the drivers again
[11:36] <jechadwell99> jkrx: so it's safe to try?
[11:36] <sl33k_> what does linux swap mean?
[11:37] <bazhang> !swap | sl33k_
[11:37] <jkrx> jechadwell99: yes, as safe as a driver installation can be
[11:37] <jechadwell99> jkrx: Thanks for your help. I'm going to try now.
[11:37] <jkrx> jechadwell99: no problems
[11:37] <clarkk> I'm really strugging to get the dev version of inkscape installed. I've added the ppa as per these instructions https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/stable
[11:38] <clarkk> ...but when installing the package, it wants me to upgrade Cairo2 which is an important pkg that unity relies on http://i.imgur.com/1cecceD.png
[11:38] <clarkk> am I doing this correctly?
[11:38] <Paradisee_> how can i install ubuntu, without erase debian? http://postimage.org/image/eccliczc5/
[11:38] <hateball> MagicSpud: mount clonezilla-iso, boot the VM, dump image onto somewhere like  an scp server, then boot the iron and restore
[11:38] <hateball> meh
[11:41] <AlexPortable> jkrx: you there?
[11:42] <jkrx> AlexPortable: yes, I couldnt find the option either so Im browsing some wikis
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Paradisee_: resize your file system to make room for Ubuntu, then install
[11:43] <Paradisee_> which is the file system in that picture?
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> sl33k_: its like pagefile in Windows
[11:44] <KGM70> o/
[11:44] <jkrx> AlexPortable: check /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> Paradisee_: your URL doesnt work for me
[11:46] <arnadelo> Hi, anyone knows how to add an active medibuntu repository for Ubuntu 10.04???
[11:46] <Funkeh`> recommendations for vnc server to use on ubuntu? the built in one seems inadequate
[11:46] <fidel__> arnadelo: cant help you - but in general i would consider upgrading any 10.04 installation ;)
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> arnadelo: medibuntu is dead and gone
[11:46] <DJones> arnadelo: Probably unlikely, from memory the medibuntu repo was removed and deleted
[11:47] <fidel__> 10.04 is out of support
[11:47] <sl33k_> I'm taking a backup? Any way clonezilla will help me?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> fidel__: not on server ;)
[11:47] <jkrx> Funkeh`: vnc4? TightVNC?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: what is the reason for the connection? there may be a sleeker solution.
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: what do you intend to do on the remote PC?
[11:48] <arnadelo> Thanks, and bye
[11:48] <fidel__> ActionParsnip: ups - you are right
[11:48] <sl33k_> Do I get to know how to resolve this? Errors were encountered while processing:
[11:48] <sl33k_>  /var/cache/apt/archives/default-jre-headless_1%3a1.6-43ubuntu2_i386.deb
[11:48] <sl33k_> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[11:48] <erle-> what is the main difference between mir and wayland?
[11:48] <sl33k_> I did sudo apt-get install -f
[11:49] <jkrx> erle-: You have to ask ubuntu devs about that
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> erle-: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mir+vs+wayland ;)
[11:51] <jkrx> sl33k_: sudo dpkg -P oracle-java7-installer
[11:51] <jkrx> sudo apt-get -f install
[11:51] <jkrx> sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
[11:51] <sl33k_> jkrx: dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching oracle-java7-installer
[11:52] <erle-> unity really has become a great environment now
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> try the WebUpd8 PPA for Orace Java, dead easy
[11:52] <AlexPortable> jkrx: lightdm.conf  users.conf
[11:52] <erle-> i just switched from vanilla gnome
[11:52] <AlexPortable> which one?
[11:52] <jkrx> sl33k_: no sorry, the installer you were trying to install
[11:52] <jkrx> AlexPortable: lightdm
[11:52] <AlexPortable> [SeatDefaults]
[11:52] <AlexPortable> allow-guest = false
[11:53] <jkrx> erle-: I found it buggy
[11:53] <erle-> jkrx, i found it slow years ago, but now it works well
[11:53] <jkrx> AlexPortable: only option in it?
[11:53] <erle-> jkrx, on my stone age thinkpad as well as on my somewhat new desktop
[11:53] <AlexPortable> yes
[11:53] <jkrx> erle-: well everyone have their own taste. I still prefer gnome and openbox :)
[11:54] <jkrx> AlexPortable: See if there is a unity-greeter
[11:54] <erle-> jkrx, yes, the diversity of options in ubuntu is just great
[11:54] <jkrx> erle-: too bad their packages is a bit out of date for the "smaller" wms like i3 and so on
[11:56] <AlexPortable> jkrx|afk: gnome-screensaver-command -l seems to trigger the lockscreen
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> jkrx|afk: just openbox for me, running a DE is a waste imho :)
[11:58] <clarkk> I'm really strugging to get the dev version of inkscape installed. I've added the ppa as per these instructions https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/stable

[11:58] <jkrx|afk> AlexPortable: hmm
[11:59] <jkrx|afk> ActionParsnip: openbox is very nice idd
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: what is the output of:   cat /etc/issue
[11:59] <clarkk> why will it not just upgrade the package?
[11:59] <mythril> I have ubuntu 14.04  freshly running on aws and for some reason or another when I try to serve a php file out of a virtualhost (not userdir) it serves the source instead
[12:00] <clarkk> ActionParsnip: what is that file?
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: its a text file that identifyes your distro and release
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: what does it say please, its one line so you can paste here
[12:00] <clarkk> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS \n \l
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: ok cool
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: have you contacted the PPA maintainer to enquire
[12:01] <clarkk> ActionParsnip: were you interested in the .4 at the end?
[12:01] <Funkeh`> ActionParsnip, full remote control, even without someone logged in, using it as a server
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: no, just wondered what release of ubuntu you were using
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: yes, remote control to do what?
[12:02] <clarkk> ActionParsnip: I haven't because I expected me to be doing something wrongly, as I am not sure what is the correct way
[12:02] <Funkeh`> everything
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: for example
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install inkscape
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: you can manage and control Transmission via HTTP, you can run updates via apt-get via SSH
[12:03] <Funkeh`> log on as a user, install some game server, log off, even reboot it
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: you can access and manage files using SFTP which can be mounted by Nautilus
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: you can reboot using SSH
[12:03] <Funkeh`> I want to do it graphically
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: you can install game servers using SSH too
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: but why?
[12:04] <konrad_> Hi there! I have trouble understanding what goes wrong with my env: I created an executable python script with "#!/usr/bin/env python"-header, which works fine. However, as soon as I symlink that script and execute the symlink, my system tries to execute it using '/usr/bin/spe' (stani's python editor, which I uninstalled).
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: arent you going to be editting text file and so forth to configure the server?
[12:04] <clarkk> ActionParsnip: Setting up inkscape (<IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntu1.1) - this is the previous version
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install inkscape
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: and won't those files be edittable using nano or vi?
[12:05] <Funkeh`> not interested in command line at the moment, this is a personal project
[12:05] <konrad_> I could not find any reference to SPE via 'update-alternatives --get-selections' or in 'env'. not sure, where else to look?
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: so far everything you need can be done in CLI, or with web interfaces
[12:06] <Funkeh`> ugh
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: yet you want to significantly reduce security by installing a desktop then using one of the most insecure protocols to manage it
[12:07] <Funkeh`> its on private lan, I don't care
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: why do you think the server OS doesnt come with a desktop or GUI?
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> Funkeh`: but with SSH, you can manage it from anywhere, and securely
[12:08] <arnab> hello all
[12:09] <arnab> I have started using ubuntu sometime back
[12:09] <dcamel> Ubuntu 14.04 is giving me disk i/o errors whenever I connect a USB flash drive. I can still read/write to the flash drive but not to my hard disk once I connect it, eventually this breaks every program I'm using and I have to restart
[12:09] <dcamel> Any ideas on where to look for support?
[12:09] <arnab> call you tell me where to find list of all commands?
[12:10] <Ben64> arnab: hit tab twice on the terminal?
[12:10] <lonix> arnab: ater dubble tab, press "y"
[12:10] <Kartagis> dcamel: here
[12:10] <clarkk> ActionParsnip: sorry for the delay. The inkscape package is the old versoin. It's inkscape-trunk that I need to install, which wants to uprade libcairo2, but I'm very cautious about that because unity relies on it http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MmfhpkT9
[12:10] <arnab> Ben64 lonix: thanks a lot
[12:11] <dcamel> It's  possible my hard disk is starting to fail, but it doesn't make sense that this happens consistently when I mount a USB flash drive
[12:11] <Ben64> clarkk: yeah well it might break stuff. thats why PPAs aren't supported in this channel. up to you if you want to try it
[12:11] <arnab> how can i learn command line operations?
[12:11] <arnab> i have learned basic commands
[12:11] <Ben64> arnab: you can try the Ubuntu manual... http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[12:11] <robotti^> How I can set lightm boot different DE without compositing and other with compositing?
[12:11] <arnab> is there any structured way to lwarn it?
[12:12] <robotti^> lightdm
[12:12] <arnab> ok
[12:12] <robotti^> start
[12:12] <robotti^> not boot :)
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: if you run:   apt-cache policy inkscape     do youo see the new version listed?
[12:12] <arnab> is it the same as bash programming?
[12:12] <robotti^> If I want for example use xbmc standalone without compositing and unity with compositing.
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: seems the package didnt successfully compile last time, check https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/stable on the top right
[12:13] <DJones> !terminal | arnab The bot's link has some good info at the bottom on how to use the terminal commands,
[12:13] <konrad_> anyone with an idea?
[12:13] <robotti^> because there is video tearing when using compositing. and ubuntu unity desktop needs compositing.
[12:13] <arnab> thanks a lot guys
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: not in 2D in Precise
[12:14] <clarkk> ActionParsnip: ok, so that won't work?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: not til its compiled successfully
[12:14] <clarkk> :(
[12:14] <clarkk> thank you ActionParsnip - I'm going to try to compile, but surely there will dependency issues too
[12:14] <clarkk> ActionParsnip: do you agree?
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> clarkk: possibly
[12:21] <sl33k_> what does daily automated and scheduled backup entail? Could someone explain like I am 5?
[12:23] <sl33k_> What does recovering it mean? Does it recover your OS too? What is the OS is not supported?
[12:23] <sl33k_> What if*
[12:24] <arnab> can I run my system from command line only?
[12:25] <arnab> i need to learn all about command line and bash programming
[12:25] <arnab> apart from all the inks you good people shared
[12:25] <arnab> can you guys  give me tips how to keep the learning process going?
[12:25] <jkrx|afk> arnab: start with using terminals
[12:26] <jkrx> and use apps that is cli only
[12:26] <arnab> I have started with terminal
[12:26] <arnab> and using some of the cli apps also
[12:26] <arnab> cli only apps also'
[12:27] <arnab> what else?
[12:27] <jkrx> arnab: thats a good start then u can learn bash with books like bash cooking recipe
[12:27] <arnab> some of the daily stuff I do, I donthow to do from command line
[12:27] <konrad_> well...it seems, i need to look elsewhere for help :( any hints for a good chan for my problem?
[12:27] <asdofindia> arnab, for fun you can try pressing ctrl+alt+f1
[12:28] <jkrx> arnab: try installing LFS in virtualbox
[12:28] <jkrx> konrad_: what did u ask?
[12:28] <sl33k_> Can anyone answer my questions on backup? I am confused after coming across this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContinuousBackups

However, as soon as I symlink that script and execute the symlink, my system tries to execute it using '/usr/bin/spe' (stani's python editor, which I uninstalled).
[12:28] <arnab> like when I search for files and directories from cli they ask for full name which is not always possible to know th
[12:28] <konrad_> I could not find any reference to SPE via 'update-alternatives --get-selections' or in 'env'. not sure, where else to look?
[12:29] <arnab> what is lfs virtualbox?
[12:29] <sl33k_> What backup method do you use? RPO or RTO?
[12:30] <jkrx> konrad_: sounds like something still wants to link it to that then
[12:30] <chosig> Hey all, I am trying to install 14.04 on my computer but it fails miserably with UEFI - is there a known bug going on?

[12:31] <jkrx> konrad_: have u tried the python channels?
[12:31] <konrad_> jkrx: i believe, this is not a python problem....

[12:41] <chosig> I am using the live cd to have chat, but yup, it's on the drive.
[12:41] <Pagos1> Hello, is it okay to ask about Lubuntu installation here? I understand it's just ubuntu with a different DE but I'm just making sure
[12:42] <KGM70> chosig, then open a terminal and do sudo update-grub, for starters
[12:43] <konrad_> asdofindia, what do you expect to find in the path?
[12:43] <chosig> konrad_, what are you trying to do with python?
[12:43] <asdofindia> konrad_, I don't know what's wrong. But I can tell you this, "/usr/bin/env python" loads the first python that it sees in the $PATH variable. So, maybe you can try changing the PATH variable. I don't know if that'll work either :P
[12:43] <chosig> KGM70, I'll try that, need to reboot.
[12:44] <KGM70> chosig, on the live cd
[12:44] <chosig> konrad_, try either #!/usr/bin/env python2.6 or #!/usr/bin/env python3 depending on which python you want to use.
[12:44] <chosig> KGM70, I a in legacy now
[12:44] <konrad_> chosig, i am trying to figure out, why a symlinked python/perl script does not execute but opens an editor/less, while the original one does...
[12:45] <KGM70> chosig, no matter
[12:45] <chosig> konrad_, are they executable?

[12:58] <MikeMike_> Hi there, I've a quick question. When I boot up my ubuntu I already have an tun0 device in ifconfig (not configured though). Can I disable that? Since it seems to conflict with a script, that I run on different machines without a problem
[12:59] <KGM70> MikeMike_, using a vpn ?
[12:59] <MikeMike_> KGM70: yes
[12:59] <MikeMike_> KGM70: Said script sets up a vpn
[13:00] <KGM70> MikeMike_, which vpn protocol?
[13:00] <konrad_> jkrx asdofindia chosig thanks for your efforts!
[13:01] <konrad_>  bye!
[13:01] <MikeMike_> KGM70: openvpn, the problem is, when I run 'openvpn foo.conf' it fails to add a route, because RTNETLINK answers a file already exists
[13:02] <MikeMike_> if I tell tun0 to shut down with ifconfig down tun0 before running that script everything is added correctly, I  could of course extend the script to simply run "ifconfig down tun0" before it runs openvpn, but I'm not sure why the tun0 device is there in the first place
[13:02] <KGM70> MikeMike_, try setting up an autoconnect in the network manager, there should be an option, if that's what your script is trying to do
[13:03] <whitehat> hi group. running 14.04. trying to get vino to run upon login. have setup desktop sharing pres. but still have to manually start vino-server.  ideas?thank you
[13:04] <MikeMike_> KGM70: nah, I only need it for special work assignments for my university, usually only once or twice a week. I tried adding it to network manager but that totally fails, because the vpn seems to capture all the connections (there's only one address I can reach with that vpn)
[13:04] <Anubrekan> Hello everybody
[13:04] <MikeMike_> Anubrekan: hi
[13:04] <Anubrekan> One question - what program do ubuntu developers use in order to create these livedvd images?
[13:05] <geowany> Anubrekan: uck is a good choice
[13:06] <Anubrekan> uck is good for remastering, but I would like to build my own from scratch (from mini). I know about Remastersys but it is not being developed any more.
[13:06] <KGM70> MikeMike_, do you have network-manager-openvpn installed? if not install it then you can use the vpn option to NM GUI to connect when needed
[13:07] <MikeMike_> KGM70: Thanks, I'll try that
[13:07] <sl33k_> !grub
[13:08] <geowany> Anubrekan: Debian uses live system project. I believe that works on Ubuntu too.
[13:09] <geowany> http://live.debian.net/
[13:09] <Anubrekan> Hmm. thank you. I will give it a look
[13:14] <salsero> any news sl33k_

[13:15] <polecatspeaks> Hi all. I've been running sysbench to do some benchmarking of our mysql server, and I'm a bit puzzled by the read/write requests result. Is that total number of read/write requests done during the test?
[13:17] <sl33k_> Is unity a minimal desktop?
[13:17] <tirengarfio> I have in a remote server with this index.html that I can _not_ modify: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/styles.css" /> But my styles.css file is not at /css/styles.css but at /styles.css, is possible through an .htacess file load that file?
[13:18] <sl33k_> What is the terminal that I use -> Accessories -> Terminal. Is it bash?
[13:23] <asdofindia> sl33k_, it is gnome-terminal

[13:23] <BananaMan> can I make a post on the ubuntu forums and ask for help???
[13:24] <BananaMan> oops! pressed exit lol
[13:24] <BananaMan> can I make a post on the ubuntu forums and ask for help???
[13:24] <jiero> fuck ibus, ppl uninstalled for fcitx or other IME got empty system settings options.
[13:24] <asdofindia> but it is bash that gnome-terminal runs, if I am right.
[13:25] <BananaMan> what's the link for ubuntu forums?
[13:26] <whitehat> ubuntu 14.04.  vino-server does not start automatically.  have "require-encryption" unchecked.   ideas?
[13:27] <asdofindia> BananaMan, you could ask for help here itself.
[13:27] <BananaMan> yeah but I want the best tweaks for ubuntu for battery life. :p
[13:28] <ctrl> !ask how to change password rules
[13:29] <asdofindia> Decrease brightness, and quit all applications that you don't need. Nothing else saves battery than these two.

[13:32] <ubbunguy> I installed the metapackage lubuntu-desktop, how do I remove it?
[13:33] <salsero> not easily achievable
[13:33] <shokora> quick question that i couldnt find googling, does ubuntu with encrypted home (ecryptfs) encrypt your files when locking your computer?
[13:33] <ubbunguy> salsero, you mean removing lubuntu-desktop is not easy?
[13:33] <shokora> locking / closing the lid of my laptop
[13:34] <salsero> the packages that went along with it, no it's not
[13:34] <salsero> but HD space is cheap, so why worry about it?
[13:34] <ubbunguy> i'm pretty OCD about it
[13:36] <karab44> guys how to change scroll bars color?
[13:38] <ctrl> anyone who can help me change password strength
[13:38] <abstr4kt> hi
[13:38] <ioab12> Not sure if this is the right channel but I am trying to use a regex with grep in ubuntu but it doesn't seem to work.
[13:38] <ioab12> cat eg.html | grep -E "$<th>Time 1<\/th>\s<td>\s.*:.*\s[ap]m\s-\s.*:.*[ap]m\s<\/td>^"
[13:39] <ioab12> but it works here though http://regexr.com/38r7c
[13:39] <AlexPortable> Which IRC client can connect to a BNC and is multiplatform?
[13:40] <fidel__> AlexPortable: maybe xchat (windows version might be called silverex)
[13:41] <net125mp> how do i tell where a disk is mounted ? im trying to copy it with dd
[13:42] <abstr4kt> i've just installed ubuntu-server 12.04 after upgrade i got: mountall disconnected from plymouth  looking for a fix i founded suggestion X relative but are not my case.. anyone know how to fix?
[13:43] <abstr4kt> net125mp, have you tryed mount command?
[13:43] <guinnevere> ciao a tutti
[13:43] <AlexPortable> fidel__: how can it connect to a bnc?
[13:43] <vlt> guinnevere: Ciao.
[13:43] <vlt> !it | guinnevere
[13:43] <djinja> any games here?
[13:43] <net125mp> abstr4kt, yeah, im assuming this is my disk? /dev/sr0 on /media/user/W98SH type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500,uhelper=udisks2)
[13:43] <djinja> gamers
[13:43] <guinnevere> ok
[13:44] <abstr4kt> net125mp, so dd if=/media/user/W98SH of=..
[13:45] <djinja> anyone any experience with pro gaming mouses on linux?
[13:45] <net125mp> abstr4kt, i get dd: reading ‘/media/user/W98SH/’: Is a directory
[13:45] <net125mp> 0+0 records in
[13:45] <net125mp> 0+0 records out
[13:45] <net125mp> 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.000680147 s, 0.0 kB/s
[13:47] <abstr4kt> net125mp, sorry he is right try dd if=/dev/sr0 istead
[13:47] <jkrx> djinja: depends on your definition of pro gaming :)
[13:47] <djinja> jkrx: nah, not so super pro I mean... amateur taking himself to serious-style I mean
[13:47] <djinja> to=too
[13:47] <jkrx> djinja: ask away :)
[13:48] <djinja> jkrx: here is what I don't fully understand. I want to buy a good gaming mouse for counter strike source.
[13:48] <djinja> jkrx: most of the mouses have custom drivers (non-linux of course)...
[13:48] <net125mp> abstr4kt, yeah i tried dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/Desktop/test.iso  but the iso wont work :(
[13:48] <djinja> jkrx: is there any advantage in using a nice gaming mouse if you don't have the driver...
[13:49] <salsero> no
[13:49] <Armadillos> djinja: Yes, as you still get the DPI advantages from the mouse, and the buttons on the mice still work
[13:49] <jkrx> djinja: linux sets up the mice for u. U dont need drivers in most cases. Other than that the advantage is usually what DPI the mouse have
[13:49] <ddssc> how do I set up a color scheme where the url is painted differently than the text, depending on the user role?
[13:50] <Armadillos> djinja: I have the Razer MMO mouse, and can use all of the 12 buttons on the side.
[13:50] <abstr4kt> net125mp, if you are tryng to make an iso from a cdrom i don't think that this is the best way... try something like tath istead : http://askubuntu.com/questions/307688/how-to-create-iso-image-from-dvd
[13:50] <jkrx> djinja: When u find a mouse just do a search on google like Razer Naga ubuntu and u will get results for how ppl have either got it working or how it works out of the box
[13:50] <djinja> jkrx: Armadillos I know I can get the buttons to work and I know about resolution. Isn't there some acceleration and deaccelaration software that makes the mouse work better for games, Is that not more important than resolution?
[13:51] <jkrx> djinja: acceleration works too
[13:51] <Armadillos> djinja: Not really.  Usually that's controlled by two buttons on the mouse, and that works in linux as well
[13:51] <jkrx> djinja: works flawlessly with my corsair mouse
[13:51] <djinja> jkrx: I am not afraid that it will work, must stuff just works plug and play on ubuntu, I am just not sure whether I can configure it (and thus make the best of ità
[13:52] <jkrx> djinja: ok, there is no real disadvantage with gaming mice in linux :)
[13:52] <jkrx> djinja: thats the short answer
[13:52] <djinja> jkrx: Armadillos so are you guys saying that as long as the mouse works it does not matter whether you do not have any propr. drivers?
[13:52] <BananaMan> how can I get powertop to look like this??? matthew-S206:/home/matthew:4 % powertop --version
[13:52] <BananaMan> PowerTOP versionv2.5, compiled on Nov 27 2013
[13:52] <BananaMan> matthew-S206:/home/matthew:4 %
[13:52] <djinja> ok
[13:52] <Armadillos> djinja: Correct
[13:52] <salsero> plug and play or plug and pray?
[13:52] <jkrx> djinja: idd
[13:53] <djinja> jkrx: Armadillos jkrx ok do you have a source for that (not wanting to disrespect you, but a read on it would be nice)?
[13:54] <Armadillos> djinja: Mine is from experience.  I've never installed the mouse drivers when I was in Windows, as I never saw a reason for it.
[13:54] <jkrx> djinja: 10 years of gaming mouse experience with linux
[13:55] <jkrx> djinja: everything from logitech to corsair to razer
[13:55] <djinja> jkrx: 10 years? what games were available 10 years ago? :)
[13:55] <doomlord_> is there something like  locate which finds files starting in the current directory, then searching subdirectories, then moving back through the tree ... basically prioritizing search results based on distance to the current location
[13:55] <djinja> Armadillos: jkrx thanks for helping me out, I'l try and read up on it
[13:55] <jkrx> djinja: only problem I had was a logitech mouse where I had to map some of the buttons in a .conf
[13:56] <jkrx> djinja: there were loads of games 10 years ago (+wine)
[13:57] <kanyl> I can only run python as root, i get this on users: "IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.7/config/Makefile (Permission denied)"
[13:57] <kanyl> I have tried reinstalling

[13:58] <net125mp> fatal error, no bootable media found  abstr4kt
[13:59] <net125mp> abstr4kt, do i need to unmount it or anything before dd / cloning it?
[13:59] <LucidGuy> Is apt-get update ran on startup?  Is it ever auto ran?  Or does it always have to ran manually?
[14:00] <jkrx> LucidGuy: if u have default ubuntu there is an updater running automatically for u
[14:00] <CatKiller> LucidGuy: I don't think it is ran on startup but could be wrong. However, apt-get update doesn't actually upgrade any packages
[14:00] <CatKiller> only the "sources definitions"
[14:01] <CatKiller> i.e. what's available
[14:01] <jkrx> yea that could be right
[14:01] <jkrx> I dont use the gui tools for that so dont know how they are set up
[14:01] <jkrx> but I thought it made a update && upgrade call
[14:03] <ddssc> how do I set up a color scheme where the url is painted differently than the text, depending on the user role?
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> LucidGuy: i believe the updates are checked periodically
[14:07] <kanyl> I screwed up my permissions for my python installation, can i get apt-get to redo them somehow?
[14:07] <philinux> LucidGuy;~ system settings> software and updates> updates tab. Set your preferences there.
[14:08] <Ziber> I've attempted to set up a samba share on my ubuntu server. Isn't there a way from the server itself to test that share?

[14:11] <pgnome> reporting ubuntu sucks
[14:12] <k1l> pgnome: please watch your language and dont misuse this channel for ranting
[14:12] <pgnome> upgraded and I don't have the latest kernel, my nvidia driver is configured for an older kernel and firefox is updated but cannot find menu options
[14:13] <pgnome> k1l, why does Ubuntu have to be like Microsoft?
[14:13] <pgnome> leave my firefox menu alone!
[14:13] <k1l> pgnome: so what kernel are you on? what did you fiddle with that nvidia driver? what does ubuntu have to do with firefox changing things?
[14:13] <k1l> pgnome: last time: stop ranting
[14:13] <salsero> use firefox from mozilla.org and install it in your home
[14:13] <salsero> problem solved
[14:14] <pgnome> it's configured for ubuntu
[14:14] <pgnome> I am on 3.12
[14:14] <pgnome> I forgot to upgrade so nvidia driver is configured for 3.12
[14:14] <k1l> pgnome: 3.12 had never been a ubuntu kernel
[14:14] <pgnome> although I installed headers and images for 3.13
[14:14] <k1l> so yeah. you are breaking things and blaming ubuntu for it.
[14:14] <pgnome> 3.12.0-7-generic
[14:15] <pgnome> well I am in 14.04 trusty right now and that is uname -r output
[14:15] <k1l> pgnome: 3.13 are the stable kernels.
[14:15] <pgnome> ugh
[14:15] <k1l> so you got a kernel from the alpha state?
[14:15] <pgnome> I am trying to install 3.13!
[14:16] <k1l> install "linux-generic"
[14:16] <k1l> that will rbing you the regular 14.04 kernel which is 3.13.0-24
[14:17] <davidsong> Hello. I have a ui idea for Ubuntu. I don't know if it already exists though. It's dead simple
[14:17] <davidsong> A progress spinner should take exactly 1 second to spin.   Options abound.
[14:22] <pgnome> I'm using gnome
[14:22] <pgnome> it's bugging me too but
[14:22] <pgnome> dw1, did that
[14:23] <pgnome> that's why I don't know what's going on
[14:23] <pgnome> i had pixbuf messages throughout the upgrade too
[14:24] <wheatthin> after this recent update of 14.04, My intel hda sound card is no longer being detected, can someone point me to the right fix?
[14:25] <dw1> pgnome: sudo update-grub should find all installed kernels and put them in the menu for ya
[14:25] <sl33k_> I cannot open startup disk creator. What is the problem?
[14:25] <dw1> pgnome: but it should be automatic
[14:25] <sl33k_> from menu

[14:26] <k1l> sl33k_: still? what is with the dd way?
[14:26] <sl33k_> k1l: I don't know the dd way. link or help?
[14:27] <sl33k_> I am seeing this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[14:28] <k1l> sl33k_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles#Ubuntu chapter command line interface
[14:28] <k1l> sl33k_: that is dead easy. you just need 2 minutes to concentrate
[14:29] <wheatthin> Is there a way to get my hda intel sound card to show up after a kernel update?
[14:31] <genii> !intelhda
[14:31] <wheatthin> thank you very much :).. hopefully it'll work out
[14:32] <sl33k_> k1l: I don't see a dev/sdc in the output http://pastebin.com/0GDKJV2x
[14:32] <andybrine> does anyone know if there is a way to restore all my ubuntuone files on 14.04?
[14:32] <andybrine> all the repos are down
[14:32] <k1l> sl33k_: its /dev/sdb     that is the usb drive
[14:32] <cfhowlett> andybrine ubuntu one is dying.  download your files from the website and find an alternate cloud optionn
[14:33] <wheatthin> genii, it's totally not seeing my sound card... only registering my ati graphics card
[14:33] <sl33k_> k1l: Is FAT error anything to be bothered
[14:33] <k1l> andybrine: there was a mail explaining that ubuntuone filestorage is shutdown
[14:33] <andybrine> cfhwlett yeh I realised that but I can only download files 1 by 1 and have a lot of files
[14:33] <k1l> sl33k_: no, we are makgin a new one anyway
[14:33] <cfhowlett> andybrine yep.  get busy.
[14:34] <andybrine> cfhowlett surly there are ways to do it
[14:34] <andybrine> thats why im asking here
[14:34] <cfhowlett> andybrine in 14.04?
[14:34] <andybrine> yes
[14:35] <sl33k_> k1l: do I need to enter /dev/devicenode as is or devicenode is sdc?
[14:35] <k1l> its /dev/sdb since you want to write on the usb
[14:36] <cfhowlett> andybrine only way I know, since, as announced, it is NOT supported in 14.04 ... drop back; 14.04 or 13.10.  do the downloads then upgrade. sorry, I can't offer anything more tasty.
[14:36] <sl33k_> I am going on a limp to ask idiotic questions so please don;t think I am intentionally irritating you all
[14:36] <andybrine> its shocking that ubuntu have done this. They should at least allow people to download their data first!!!
[14:37] <k1l> andybrine: they did for some time.
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> wheatthin: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
[14:37] <cfhowlett> andybrine  hey announced it LONG ago and advised immediate action.
[14:37] <andybrine> I did see the announcement and it was around the time of 14.04 upgrade
[14:38] <sl33k_> k1l: umount: /dev/sdb: not mounted <- expected?
[14:38] <cfhowlett> andybrine 6 weeks later ...
[14:38] <k1l> sl33k_: does "mount" list sdb or sdb1?
[14:39] <sl33k_> k1l: sdb1. Enter at the terminal?
[14:39] <k1l> sl33k_: no
[14:39] <sl33k_> /dev/sdb1 on /media/AHSAN type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush)
[14:40] <k1l> type "mount" in a terminal and see if there is a line with sdb or sdb1
[14:40] <wheatthin> ActionParsnip, how would I be able to print or pipe that to pastebinit?
[14:40] <k1l> sl33k_: so you need to umount /dev/sdb1   since that is mounted
[14:41] <dw1> the docs are fallible... darn :)
[14:41] <caiyunwen> hi
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> wheatthin: the script make a URL, what is the URL
[14:42] <dw1> sl33k_: dont use the 1 in the dd command tho ;)
[14:42] <sl33k_> dw1: really?
[14:42] <k1l> sl33k_: please show the dd command before you try to run it
[14:42] <dw1> sl33k_: really
[14:43] <sl33k_> ;) is a hint
[14:43] <StR> Hi everyone! I was playing with the preferences and now  everytime I click the [ctrl] button, mouse cursor starts flashing with some circles around it. How can I disalb eit?
[14:43] <raymond__> bonjour
[14:43] <k1l> sl33k_: yes, dw1 is right. you need to "burn" the image on the stick, and not into a partition on the stick.
[14:43] <k1l> sl33k_: but that is all explained in the text on the help page i linked. you just need to read al that and concentrate 2 min.
[14:43] <wheatthin> ActionParsnip, it's an ac97 controller

[14:50] <mamed> ActionParsnip, i did
[14:50] <ddssc> so my user is part of the root group
[14:50] <ddssc> hm hm, maybe that's the problem ?
[14:50] <dw1> mines not in root, but is in sudo :/
[14:50] <sl33k_> dw1: It is 64 bits
[14:50] <ikonia> ddssc: the root account is locked, you should not be able to use the root account
[14:51] <sl33k_> dw1: what are the tangible advantages of 64 bit?
[14:51] <ddssc> dw1: think I made a mistake and added my user to root group with usermod... instead of adding me to sudoers
[14:51] <ddssc> ikonia: right, so how do I fix this?  I can't sudo now
[14:51] <k1l> sl33k_: there is no reason to use 32bit if the hardware goes with 64bit
[14:51] <ddssc> I effectively locked myself out of root by adding myself to root? the fuck..
[14:51] <ikonia> ddssc: there is no need for bad language
[14:51] <ddssc> yes
[14:51] <ddssc> my bad
[14:51] <dw1> ddssc: apparently so :p
[14:51] <ikonia> ddssc: please control your language it is not warrented or needed
[14:51] <cfhowlett> ddssc language ... keep it clean
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: so you added your user to the root group?
[14:52] <ikonia> ddssc: is your user account the only account on the machine ?
[14:52] <ddssc> ikonia: yep
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: you added your user to the root group?
[14:52] <ikonia> ddssc: why did you change the account ?
[14:52] <dw1> ddssc: do you have a cdrom, 'cause if so you should be in cdrom group too :)
[14:52] <ikonia> was there a problem you where trying to fix ?
[14:52] <dw1> ddssc: do you have a printer, 'cause if so you should probably be in lpadmin group too :)
[14:52] <sl33k_> dw1: My bandwidth is less. Takes 3 hours for download. Any way to reduce this time?
[14:53] <ddssc> ikonia: cause I wanted to be able to change files created by root with my user account.
[14:53] <dw1> sl33k_: no :(
[14:53] <ikonia> ddssc: exactly what command did you issue to change the group ?
[14:53] <mamed> ActionParsnip, i did wht you dpkg -P ... and restarted firefx but i cant still see the site content exactly maybe this is a problem of firefox i will update it
[14:53] <mamed> thank you so much ActionParsnip  for you help
[14:53] <sl33k_> dw1: can I upgrade from 32 to 64?
[14:53] <dw1> sl33k_: no
[14:53] <ddssc> usermod -g root myname
[14:53] <dw1> sl33k_: maybe
[14:53] <ddssc> ikonia: usermod -g root myname
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: why did you run that? what was the aim?
[14:54] <ikonia> ddssc: that's only the initially login group
[14:54] <ikonia> ddssc: please show me the output of the command "id"
[14:54] <ddssc> ActionParsnip: TO BE ABLE to rw files created by root. I know i know I shozld've just added myself to group instead and given rights to group on files. blah
[14:54] <dw1> sl33k_: but you might as well just download 64 now, cause otherwise youd be doing it later anyway
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: then use sudo
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: you can get a root prompt with:  sudo -s
[14:55] <sl33k_> dw1: I maybe shortchanging myself. But I would like to go ahead. It takes too much time.
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: so you've done something insqane and now you are getting issues....weird huh
[14:55] <sl33k_> with 32
[14:55] <ddssc> ActionParsnip: is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.    and I cant edit sudoers
[14:55] <ddssc> :(
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: didnt you think there was maybe a _reason why_ the OS is setup in such a fashion?
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: you can drop to root recovery console, add your user to the sudo group and get all the access you need
[14:56] <ddssc> ddssc: how?
[14:56] <ikonia> ddssc: please show me the output of the command "id"
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root
[14:57] <harry> trying to install ubuntu alongside win 7 but instaltion window shows install ubuntu inside win of replace it
[14:57] <ddssc> ikonia: uid=1000(blah) gid=1000(blah) groups=1000(blah),0(root)
[14:57] <ikonia> ddssc: not asking for "blah"
[14:57] <ikonia> ddssc: asking for the actual output
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> harry: resize your NTFS in Windows, then run a chkdsk, then boot to the Ubuntu install CD an install
[14:57] <ddssc> ikonia: it's what it says
[14:58] <ikonia> ddssc: why are there groups called blah
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: sounds like whoami = blah
[14:58] <ddssc> ikonia: no idea, it's my username
[14:58] <ikonia> ahhhh
[14:58] <ddssc> :d
[14:58] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: excellent spot
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> word
[14:58] <ikonia> ddssc: so you'll need to use a recovery shell or live media to put your user back into the sudo group
[14:58] <dw1> sl33k_: prob wont be much different...
[14:59] <ddssc> ikonia:  should I add my user to sudoers file?
[14:59] <ikonia> ddssc: no
[14:59] <harry> ActionParsnip: i have installed win in 200gb of 500 gb and want to rest for ubuntu but in installation process remaining 300gb shows unusable
[14:59] <dw1> sl33k_: im trying to find a serious advantage its a lot of reading :)
[14:59] <ikonia> ddssc: you should put your user back in the sudo group
[14:59] <ddssc> ikonia: how?
[14:59] <ikonia> ddssc: by using the recovery shell
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> harry: is the 500Gb assigned to a partition?
[14:59] <ikonia> ddssc: ActionParsnip told you how to do it
[14:59] <ddssc> ikonia: how? :)
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> [15:56] <ActionParsnip> ddssc: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root
[15:00] <sl33k_> nhm
[15:00] <harry> ActionParsnip: no its just dead space
[15:00] <dw1> sl33k_: supposedly 64bit helps with some more complex tasks.. "If you are ripping a lot of CD's or DVD's, transcoding video from one format into another, or doing 3D Rendering, you can notice upwards of 30% performance gain."
[15:00] <harry> in win 7
[15:00] <dw1> sl33k_: "If you are just word processing, emailing, and surfing the net, then you probably won't notice a thing (unless you can detect milliseconds!)."
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> harry: if you make partitions in Windows but don't format them, does it help?
[15:00] <harry> neve tried that
[15:01] <harry> but why is ybuntu installation wizard shows install inside windows? why not alongside win 7 as before
[15:01] <ddssc> ActionParsnip: yea I can drop to root console. then what?
[15:01] <wheatthin> ActionParsnip, still no sound ;/
[15:01] <ikonia> ddssc: run usermod with the correct options
[15:01] <sl33k_> dw1: will go ahead with this probably. I cannot open the usb drive?
[15:02] <ddssc> ikonia: thats what Im asking, what should I write? !
[15:02] <sl33k_> is expected?
[15:02] <harry> ActionParsnip: but why is ybuntu installation wizard shows install inside windows? why not alongside win 7 as before
[15:02] <dw1> sl33k_: its not mounted so yeah
[15:02] <designbybeck> Help please: I'm installing Ubuntu 14.04 on a dual boot system. Install went fast, just grub messed up. I am running boot-repair right now but it isn't working
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> wheatthin: do you get sound in headphones?
[15:02] <ikonia> ddssc: so you know how to add it to the root group yes ?
[15:02] <ddssc> ikonia: coz running usermod put me in this situation
[15:02] <ddssc> ikonia: apparently not. hence why Im here last half hour
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: can you boot either OS?
[15:02] <ikonia> ddssc: so do the same but remove root and use "sudo" group
[15:02] <sl33k_> dw1: Now I just need to press shift on boot?
[15:02] <ikonia> you can then use the gui tools on the desktop to add/remove other groups as you see fit
[15:02] <k1l> sl33k_: no
[15:02] <designbybeck> I'm on this step in Boot-Repair Grub:  .... sudo chroot "/mnt/boot-sav/sda5" apt-get install -y --force-yes grub-pc
[15:03] <k1l> sl33k_: you need to boot from the usb
[15:03] <ddssc> ikonia: right. didnt know that
[15:03] <ddssc> brb
[15:03] <designbybeck> ActionParsnip, that command said Unable to loacte package linux
[15:03] <wheatthin> ActionParsnip, no sound.. still says dummy driver in the preferences
[15:03] <designbybeck> no ActionParsnip  I couldn't boot
[15:03] <k1l> sl33k_: that does not include grub or kali linux or any other stuff. it should not even touch the harddisk inside the pc
[15:03] <k1l> sl33k_: so get your bios to boot from usb
[15:03] <harry> ActionParsnip: why would it say inside win 7 instead of alongside win 7 as before
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: omgubuntu has a guide named 'sticking it to grub' works well in my experience
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> harry: did you run the setup on the Ubuntu CD in Windows or did you just boot to the CD?
[15:04] <designbybeck> ActionParsnip, normally Boot Repair has fixed my issues with its auto run, but not this time... I'll look at omgubuntu
[15:04] <cfhowlett> harry "inside windows" = wubi.  no longer supported.
[15:04] <harry> ActionParsnip: i made my PD bootable and trying to install from it
[15:05] <harry> its ubuntu 14
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> harry: did you reboot and select the device as boot?
[15:06] <harry> ActionParsnip: are u talking about the dead space 300GB, no not
[15:06] <JohnN> what's unity like to use with touchscreen?
[15:07] <Lucias> hi
[15:07] <wheatthin> so I'm clueless now ;/ damn kernel upgrades
[15:07] <Nothing_Much> JohnN: I think it works well
[15:07] <Nothing_Much> At least Unity 8 for the phones
[15:07] <OerHeks> JohnN, clean, you do not get dirty fingerprints on your screen
[15:07] <Lucias> what is the software like teamviewer i can use in ubuntu?
[15:08] <k1l> JohnN: the desktop unity still needs some twists to be used woth touchscreen. but with the next unity that will be in the focus
[15:08] <OerHeks> Lucias, see their website, ther is an ubuntu client
[15:08] <wheatthin> Lucias, roger wilco? lol
[15:08] <harry> i dont want ubuntu and win 7 share files

[15:09] <JohnN> looking for a good distro to try with my new netbook cos windows 8.1 is really pi**ing me off... stupid trackpad edge triggering crap all the time...
[15:09] <qin_> JohnN: Ubuntu?
[15:10] <cfhowlett> JohnN lubuntu or xubuntu
[15:10] <Lucias> is putty usable in ubuntu?
[15:10] <harry> is ubuntu installation alongside win 7 is not supported anymore?
[15:11] <llutz> Lucias: yes, but why? there is openssh-client
[15:11] <cfhowlett> harry it is supported.
[15:11] <JohnN> I got it cos it was cheap, but the thing has touchscreen thought it might be nice to find something that uses the touchscreen well :)
[15:11] <qin_> Lucias: putty? is is not ssh client for not Linux?
[15:11] <Lucias> i would like to use putty to take a serial console
[15:11] <llutz> !putty | Lucias
[15:11] <harry> cfhowlett: because i am installing U on my lap but having options like install inside win 7 ; replace win 7
[15:12] <dw1> Lucias: putty is available.. but i just use terminal
[15:12] <llutz> !info putty | Lucias
[15:12] <championofcyrodi> can anyone tell me why Ubuntu 14.04 isnt using my preseed config with EFI boot?

[15:12] <championofcyrodi> }
[15:12] <cfhowlett> harry reboot to windows.  delete the windows created empty partition.  reboot ubuntu and format the freespace for use.
[15:12] <unopaste> championofcyrodi you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[15:13] <cfhowlett> !paste|championofcyrodi
[15:13] <championofcyrodi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7457952/ (This is my grub entry)
[15:14] <championofcyrodi> i just get dropped into the ramfs
  i already have 300GB of dead(from win 7 point) freespace and installation wizard is showing it as 'unusable'
[15:14] <designbybeck> ActionParsnip, I get to the grub-install /dev/sda
[15:15] <cfhowlett> harry this is a new(ish) computer?  win8 compatible?
[15:15] <designbybeck> and it says the program 'grub-install' can be found in the following packages
[15:15] <rundll32> !ot maven
[15:15] <designbybeck> ActionParsnip, says try apt-get install <selected package>
[15:16] <designbybeck> I'm trying this while still in the Boot-Repair distro ActionParsnip ...shoudl I have live booted from 14.04?
[15:16] <harry> cfhowlett: no i its old one, is it realted to ubuntu '14' only
[15:16] <harry> i am booting it from PD BTW
[15:16] <cfhowlett> harry pd?  what the deuce?
[15:16] <wheatthin> so after a security kernel update, my intel hda sound card is no longer working, and pulse audio is showing dummy driver.. can someone help find out what's up?
[15:16] <qin_> cfhowlett: pen drive?
[15:17] <cfhowlett> qin_ ah, of course.
[15:18] <qin_> did not catch the deuce, tho. cfhowlett
[15:18] <cfhowlett> harry the one time I had this issue was when I converted my dell hackintosh back to dual boot = GPT unreadable by ubuntu.
[15:18] <qin_> harry: Probably your partitioning sucks
[15:19] <ddssc> ActionParsnip: so I dropped to root at boot and I couldn't add the user to sudo
[15:19] <ddssc> ....
[15:19] <cfhowlett> harry sudo fdisk -l    will list all partitions
[15:19] <Guest63344> i discovered a flaw in the 14.04 lts version of ubuntu.. i could install updates by going to settings>details>install updates without even typing in my root password...
[15:19] <cfhowlett> !bug|Guest63344
[15:20] <wheatthin> ddssc, so boot up with a live ubuntu dvd and chroot into your main environment, and sudo gpasswd -a <username> sudoer   (I believe)
[15:20] <harry> to run this query i have to have ubuntu installed first
[15:20] <cfhowlett> harry run it from your pen drive
[15:20] <cfhowlett> harry although you'll have to mount the HDD first
[15:20] <Guest63344> i don't know which package is the cause... can someone help me
[15:21] <rundll32> !maven
[15:21] <llutz> wheatthin: "sudo" or "admin" are the groups needed
[15:23] <wheatthin> hmm
[15:24] <wheatthin> ActionParsnip, I went into the terminal, and typed alsamixer and it failed to load.. then I typed sudo alsamixer and it loaded.. Do I need to re-add myself to an audio group?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> wheatthin: try the alsa dkms guide
[15:25] <sl33k_> What does erase everything and install mean in boot menu?
[15:25] <sl33k_> Which option to choose?
[15:26] <cfhowlett> harry http://www.ubuntuask.com/q/answers-windows-7-ubuntu-install-uefi-gpt-partition-340837.html
[15:26] <sl33k_> Upgrade from 10.04 to 14.04 ok?
[15:26] <cfhowlett> sl33k_ server?
[15:26] <adamw> hi, folks, quick check - does logging into askubuntu.com via launchpad work for anyone else? I can't get it to work either with my email (which is what I sign in to launchpad.net with) or what launchpad.net calls my "Launchpad id"
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> sl33k_: you will need t upgrade to 12.04 in between
[15:27] <harry> summary : I installed win 7 yesterday deleted all previous drives (from previous win 7 ), total ~500GB space. Installed win 7 and used 200Gb to create three partitions including C drive and left 300GB untouched(neither created drive nor formatted it) . Now want to install ubuntu 14 alongside win 7 in that 300GB space(i don't want them to interact) and made my PD bootable. Tried to install but left with options "Install inside win 7" and
[15:27] <harry> Chose third option "Do something else" and saw remaining 300GB drive as unusable along with three other win drives
[15:27] <adamw> oh, hrm, works with the 'launchpad id' with epiphany, not firefox. whee.
[15:28] <sl33k_> ActionParsnip, delete all and install is sensible ?
[15:30] <lucido> I get unetbootin: cannot connect to X server :0
[15:30] <lucido> wuts wrong?
[15:30] <ikonia> let me guess you've done something like sudo su
[15:30] <ikonia> or sudo unetbootin
[15:31] <lucido> ikonia, sudo
[15:31] <ikonia> lucido: sudo ...what
[15:31] <lucido> unetbootin
[15:31] <lucido> ikonia, how do u know?
[15:31] <ikonia> lucido: it can't connect to the graphical desktop
[15:32] <trijntje> !silverlight
[15:32] <lucido> ikonia, never had a problem with that before
[15:33] <sl33k_> Advice ?
[15:33] <bazhang> lucido, for ubuntu? or debian
[15:34] <lucido> bazhang, debian
[15:35] <sl33k_> Will you chose encryption install?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> sl33k_: i would, faster and you'll get a cleaner OS
[15:36] <lucido> bazhang, sorry ubuntu 14.04
[15:38] <rundll32> i want install ngnix, mariadb, python,php in my machine is there any software bundle fir that like lamp?
[15:39] <dw1> rundll32: i found it better to install everything separately not use a bundle
[15:40] <dw1> sl33k_: i would not do full disk ecryption maybe just the home dir if you htink your comp might be stolen :)
[15:40] <Ari-Yang> !mpv
 as u said, i loaded it from PD, and ran sudo fdisk -l, shows only drives in win 7, not the remaining memory (300 GB freespae not allocated in ein 7)
[15:41] <cfhowlett> harry it's your partitioning scheme - I suspect GPT.
[15:41] <Paradisee> what is "Remote control configuration" ?
[15:42] <harry> so what could be the solution?
[15:42] <cfhowlett> harry http://www.techpository.com/?page_id=701   http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/11/how-to-fix-mbr-or-damaged-partition.html
[15:43] <cfhowlett> harry with, of course, the warning that such action may break your OS and require a reinstall.
[15:44] <qin_> rundll32: lemp, not sure if tasksel have it.
[15:44] <qin_> rundll32: oups, mariadb...

[15:48] <cloudy> Hi - I am trying to run unattended upgrades -  for the majority it works, but for PPAs I added additionally it doesn't. Any hints?
[15:48] <Guest46637> what?
[15:49] <module000> badluckbryan: you can change all that though, check "man sshd_config" and skip to the "Ciphers" section - you can set the default from there
[15:49] <badluckbryan> thank you module000
[15:49] <badluckbryan> :D
[15:49] <badluckbryan> I was looking the sshd_config and didn't find anything there so that's why I was asking but yeah hehehehe forgot to check the man
[15:50] <badluckbryan> module000, man sshd_config is not showing anything
[15:50] <TerranceWarrior> Zorin 8.1 is based on Ubuntu. Multiple flash sessions after a certain time will freeze the operating system using Firefox ,leaving it hanging. Chrome, default in Zorin, uses it's OWN Flash like player. My summary and belief is that Zorin intercepts flash libraries after a certain time and crashes it, leaving chrome the only browser you can use in Zorin.
[15:50] <badluckbryan> module000, tried also man ssh and man sshd
[15:51] <module000> badluckbryan: what distro are you using?
[15:51] <module000> badluckbryan: also...do you have openssh-server package installed? that's what provides the sshd_config manpage
[15:51] <badluckbryan> module000, arch :$
[15:51] <bazhang> TerranceWarrior, zorin is not supported here

[15:53] <citrusmorbidus> hello, could somebody helpme with this? http://i.imgur.com/fKRqib4.jpg
[15:53] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: wait for the check to complete...
[15:54] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: consider making backups of important files ASAP in case drive is failing
[15:54] <BananaMan> what's the command to save powertop tunables?
[15:55] <citrusmorbidus> dw1: it giveme another errors while is checking... im from a live cd right now. and a I cant access to the files, because the hard drive is encrypted.
[15:55] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: did you let the check run to completion
[15:55] <junka> i have formated a fat32 partition on a usb but i cant write on it from other pcs
[15:56] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: try at terminal ecryptfs-recover-private
[15:56] <citrusmorbidus> dw1: ok
[15:56] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: it may find and mount your drive - not sure - never used it on full disk encryption just home folder encryption :/
[15:57] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: ideally you will have recorded a 32 character passphrase when you installed
[15:57] <citrusmorbidus> dw1: jeje is been a while since then... hope to remember.
[15:58] <citrusmorbidus> Enter your MOUNT passphrase:  INFO: Success!  Private data mounted read-only at [/tmp/ecryptfs.i9Vg2BqR].
[15:58] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: good to store such things on a google drive document or on dropbox or somewhere... :/
[15:58] <citrusmorbidus> yeah!
[15:58] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: nice
[15:58] <wheatthin> grr this is irritating ;/
[15:58] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: anyway after the check completed you should be able to boot it ?
[15:59] <llutz> dw1: make sure to store it unencrypted in $some_cloud...
[16:00] <citrusmorbidus> dw1: no, im gonna restart now to check that. and then comeback. thank you !
[16:01] <wheatthin> ok.. any other suggestions? cause nothing is working ;/
[16:02] <wheatthin> was just working a few minutes before I updated, so I know that's what's it.
[16:04] <darkxploit> hello

[16:05] <jkrx> sl33k_: head-up display
[16:06] <dw1> wheatthin: whats teh line before snd_hda_codec: module has bad taint
[16:06] <dw1> wheatthin: module verification failed: signature and/or  required key missing - tainting kernel ?
[16:06] <dw1> wheatthin: and after the taint msgs, some hardware info?
[16:07] <sl33k_> I think the dashboard is left side widgets?
[16:07] <sl33k_> What could be head up display?
[16:07] <dw1> wheatthin: put all audio related logs on a pastebin
[16:07] <Heyyoo> Do anyone know if asrock b85 pro4 mainboard is supported with ubuntu?
[16:08] <jkrx> sl33k_: HuD is usually connected to gaming. Its all the information on the screen

[16:08] <darkxploit> hello can anyone tell me how to transfer file from VPS to local using SCP
[16:08] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: good idea :)
[16:08] <dw1> citrusmorbidus: maybe look at smartmontools
[16:09] <sl33k_> Which irc client is good ?
[16:09] <darkxploit> sl33k_, try ircl
[16:09] <sl33k_> I use xchat but find it tedious
[16:09] <darkxploit> sl33k_,  or xchat
[16:09] <sl33k_> Will try thanks

[16:09] <dw1> sl33k_: smuxi is pretty good
[16:09] <darkxploit> Dhoni, hello
[16:09] <Dhoni> anyone use Vodafone 3G ?
[16:10] <darkxploit> Dhoni, nooo
[16:10] <Draconis> hi guys, I'm trying to install windows 7 as a guest in virtualbox, but I only have  a bootable usb of it. I tried using dd to copy the drive to a iso but virtualbox still fails to recognize it. Any ideas?
[16:10] <jkrx> sl33k_: weechat if u want a slick terminal irc client
[16:11] <Dhoni> darkxploit: how do you backup softwares in your computer ?
[16:11] <Obhur> hello, does anyone know how to install ubuntu on a macbook pro?
[16:11] <Dhoni> darkxploit: pen drive or dvds ?
[16:11] <jkrx> Dhoni: pendrive/external harddrive
[16:11] <jkrx> Dhoni: also a NAS
[16:11] <jkrx> Dhoni: dvds are for ppl stuck in the past ;)
[16:11] <Dhoni> jkrx: no DVDs ?
[16:12] <darkxploit> Dhoni, i have create a facebook account private to me.. accessed by me only.. i have upload many stuffs there
[16:12] <Dhoni> jkrx: but some guys say DVDs are reliable than hdd
[16:12] <sl33k_> Thanks for the suggestions.. I would find something comfortable from those suggested
[16:12] <darkxploit> Dhoni, as well as google drive and dropbox
[16:12] <darkxploit> Dhoni, i also  have a vps
[16:12] <sl33k_> Is there a way to not enter encrytion password after boot?
[16:12] <jkrx> Dhoni: There is more security with harddrives specially if u keep the most crucial things on mirrored raid
[16:13] <jkrx> sl33k_: not using encryption
[16:13] <Dhoni> darkxploit: use vps to backup ? which vps provider you use ?
[16:13] <darkxploit> jkrx, hey u got an idea how to transfer file from VPS to local  using SCP
[16:13] <Dhoni> jkrx: so pen drives are better for backup ?
[16:13] <designbybeck> Anyone try fixing GRUB in 14.04?... I keep getting: grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist
[16:14] <darkxploit> Dhoni, i cant tell u for sucurity purpose on an IRC chat.. common
[16:14] <jkrx> Dhoni: for smaller backups yes like documents and such
[16:14] <Draconis> hi guys, I'm trying to install windows 7 as a guest in virtualbox, but I only have  a bootable usb of it. I tried using dd to copy the drive to a iso but virtualbox still fails to recognize it. Any ideas?
[16:14] <sl33k_> Jkrx: i can opt out now?
[16:14] <Dhoni> jkrx: i only have around 20GB of softwares , a 32gb pen drive would do the job for me ??
[16:14] <sl33k_> jkrx
[16:15] <jkrx> Dhoni: yes
[16:15] <sl33k_> How do i access the file systems?
[16:15] <jkrx> sl33k_: google remove encryption ubunutu and see
[16:15] <darkxploit> Draconis, winblows
[16:16] <jkrx> darkxploit: scp /some/local/file youruser@yourremoteserver:/remote/path
[16:16] <jkrx> darkxploit: u mean like that?
[16:16] <Dhoni> jkrx: will the pen drive be reliable , some say it has chances of getting corrupt
[16:16] <darkxploit> jkrx, from server [VPS] to local [mypc]
[16:16] <jkrx> Dhoni: there is always a chance for corruption but thats true about dvds too
[16:16] <Dhoni> darkxploit: how many vpses do you own ?
[16:17] <darkxploit> Dhoni, make ir a tarball
[16:17] <jkrx> darkxploit: oh
[16:17] <Draconis> darkxploit, well I need it for some legacy work activex crap
[16:17] <Draconis> either way, there has to be some way to make a bootable iso from a bootable usb?
[16:17] <Dhoni> jkrx: so i shud backup to pen drive and DVDs for reliability ?
[16:17] <Draconis> only articles I find say to use dd but I don't believe that makes it bootable since the specs are different for iso/hdd
[16:18] <darkxploit> Draconis, u can use the .ISO to boot directly on the vbox
[16:19] <Draconis> I need to make the iso
[16:19] <darkxploit> jkrx, any idea mate
[16:19] <Draconis> I only have a bootable usb
[16:19] <Draconis> how can I make an iso from that
[16:19] <Dhoni> darkxploit: jkrx which is the best pen drive ?
[16:19] <jkrx> Dhoni: for maximum reliabillity u should use a raid array but yea u can use both pendrive and dvd
[16:19] <darkxploit> Draconis, no idea..
[16:19] <jkrx> darkxploit: Im thinking
[16:20] <jkrx> darkxploit: been sometime since I usen VPN and remote servers
[16:20] <Dhoni> jkrx: Which pen drive brand is the best for backup for long term ? Transcend or Sandisk ?
[16:20] <dracnoc> Draconis: dd if=/path/to/your/usb of=/path/to/wheveryoulike.iso
[16:20] <darkxploit> Dhoni, jkrx this pendrive question is hard to answer.. lol
[16:21] <jkrx> Dhoni: no idea I use sandisk tho
[16:21] <jkrx> Dhoni: never failed me
[16:22] <Dhoni> jkrx: nice
[16:22] <Dhoni> jkrx: you dont use DVDs ?
[16:22] <jkrx> Dhoni: nope
[16:23] <Obhur> hello, does anyone know how to install ubuntu on a macbook pro?
[16:23] <jkrx> darkxploit: have u tried filezilla?
[16:24] <Dhoni> darkxploit: do you run VPN on your VPS ?
[16:24] <Dhoni> jkrx: do you run VPN on your private VPS ?
[16:25] <sl33k_> What does updating cache in software updater mean?
[16:25] <Yelu> Obhur, you already did this, I'm sure => https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu 14.04 installation guide macbook pro
[16:25] <genii> Obhur: Some more documentation on it here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
[16:26] <junka> how do i change permissions?
[16:26] <jkrx> junka: chmod
[16:26] <junka> jkrx, i tried it did not work
[16:27] <Obhur> thank Yelu
[16:27] <Dhoni> does anyone know the use of VPN ?
[16:27] <Dhoni> why do I need VPN ? any one can help me ?
[16:27] <Yelu> Obhur, you're welcome
[16:27] <llutz> Dhoni: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPN
[16:28] <sl33k_> jkrx could you tell the above question?
[16:29] <darkxploit> jkrx, do u know how to use it.. since i dont have graphical interface on the server
[16:30] <AgentDrTran> I use a VPN on a server what do you need to know
[16:30] <junka> can i change permission of a partition? how?
[16:31] <JoeyJoeJo> I've got a 2GHz multicore processor and when I watch /proc/cpuinfo, the cores jump between 800MHz and 2GHz. Is there a way I can lock them to 2GHz? Is there a reason I shouldn't do that?
[16:31] <Draconis> dracnoc, Sorry just saw your reply. I tried using dd but virtualbox says it can't detect a bootable iso when I select it
[16:32] <llutz> JoeyJoeJo: there is no reaso to lock it, why should the cpu "run  fast" (high power consupmtion) without need?
[16:32] <aquarius> hi
[16:32] <darkxploit> aquarius, hiiii
[16:32] <JoeyJoeJo> llutz: I need it. I wrote a python script using the multiprocess library and I'm trying to make it run as fast as possible
[16:32] <llutz> JoeyJoeJo: cpu will be stepped up if needed, and slowed down on idle-phases
[16:32] <aquarius> i am from MOLDOVA you?
[16:33] <dracnoc> Draconis: the if=/path/ should be to the raw device, i.e., /dev/sdc - not to where it's mounted, i.e., /media/usbdisk. does that help?
[16:33] <darkxploit> JoeyJoeJo, may be u have to tweak ur systemctl.conf
[16:34] <JoeyJoeJo> darkxploit: Thanks, I'll check that out
[16:34] <llutz> JoeyJoeJo: either disable cpufreq or set governor to performance
[16:35] <sl33k_> How to know what my software repository is?
[16:35] <Draconis> dracnoc,  yes my complete command was something like sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=somefile.iso
[16:35] <junka> how do i change the owner and permissions of a partition?
[16:36] <dracnoc> Draconis: damn. there must be something getting in the way in VB. Sorry, can't help further. VMs aren't my thing
[16:36] <Dhoni> anyone recently bought VPS ?
[16:36] <AgentDrTran> yup
[16:36] <Draconis> np thanks though
[16:36] <Draconis> I have a feeling is because booting from isos is on a different sector than for hdd
[16:36] <llutz> sl33k_: egrep -v '^#|^ *$' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}
[16:37] <darkxploit> hii anyone can help me how to transfer/ copy a file from VPS [SERVER] to LOCAL [MY-PC] using SCP please
[16:37] <llutz> darkxploit: man scp (scp user@host:/path/foo local/bar)
[16:38] <darkxploit> llutz, user is the user of the server or local ?
[16:38] <llutz> darkxploit: remote
[16:38] <darkxploit> llutz, so its scp DNS: /path then
[16:38] <llutz> darkxploit: man scp , read it
[16:39] <darkxploit> llutz, its not working
[16:39] <llutz> darkxploit: cat /etc/issue             says what?
[16:39] <darkxploit> debian
[16:39] <darkxploit> llutz, debia
[16:39] <llutz> darkxploit: offtopic here, ask in #debian
[16:40] <darkxploit> llutz, i mean ubuntu
[16:40] <llutz> darkxploit: troll away
[16:40] <OerHeks> man scp not working in debian :-D
[16:40] <llutz> OerHeks: all my installations must be broken
[16:40] <darkxploit> llutz, Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l
[16:41] <llutz> darkxploit: sudo apt-get install openss-client
[16:41] <darkxploit> llutz, on the server ? or local
[16:41] <raub> make it openssL-client
[16:41] <llutz> darkxploit: whereever you need scp and its man-page
[16:41] <llutz> !ssh | darkxploit
[16:41] <sl33k_> llutz: Does this look like latest? http://pastebin.com/Hh5GDmZL
[16:42] <raub> llutz: of course I would think he should make sure he can ssh
[16:42] <ldiamond> anyone know how to obtain the 32bit version of libp11-kit-gnome-keyring on 12.04 64bit?
[16:42] <sl33k_> Do I have to periodically check it?
[16:42] <sl33k_> How does webupd8 have their own repository?
[16:42] <llutz> sl33k_: looks like normal trusty/14.04 sources
[16:42] <junka> how do i change the owner and permissions of a partition?
[16:42] <llutz> !permissions | junka
[16:43] <darkxploit> ubottu, i dont use winblows
[16:43] <raub> sl33k_: you can have your own repository
[16:43] <llutz> darkxploit:it is called indows, stop childish misspelling if you want to be take serious here
[16:44] <llutz> taken*
[16:44] <llutz> well, add a w
[16:44] <darkxploit> llutz, why are u being so severe

[16:46] <sl33k_> How to I know if Eclipse in software center is indigo? Because I need indigo atm
[16:46] <llutz> ldiamond: dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
[16:47] <ldiamond> llutz, i386
[16:47] <ldiamond> llutz, I guess I'll install it manually
[16:47] <junka> i dont understand llutz :(
[16:48] <junka> i tried chmod -R 777 and chown -R but nothing
[16:48] <gr859> hello! im searching for a way to use a MIDI signal as a keyboard hotkey. Im sure this is possible. Anyone knows more?
[16:49] <llutz> junka: a non-unix filesystem like ntfs/vfat? you need to use special mount-options then
[16:49] <junka> llutz, yes it is FAT32
[16:50] <llutz> !vfat | junka
[16:50] <ldiamond> llutz, Well, that doesn't work either... installing libp11-kit-gnome-keyring:i386 would break gnome-keyring, and
[16:50] <ldiamond>  deconfiguration is not permitted
[16:50] <OerHeks> ldiamond, page says >> Status: Deleted Failed SRU verification
[16:50] <junka> llutz, it is mounted and i get read and write from my pc but not from other pcs
[16:52] <jkrx> junka: then u need to set read write for other or add other pcs to a group that have the permissions
[16:52] <llutz> junka: you have to use those optione like uid/gid/umask on the other pcs too
[16:52] <junka> omg so boring, i have to do that to each pc?
[16:53] <llutz> junka: wherever you mount that filesystem
[16:53] <ldiamond> OerHeks, not sure how I'm supposed to get it then. Do I just get the binary and put it there?
[16:53] <llutz> junka: most linux-systems should do it automatically i'd guess
[16:53] <junka> i see llutz thanks
[16:55] <OerHeks> ldiamond, it will sure break your system, why do you need that package anyway?
[16:55] <ldiamond> OerHeks, wine needs it for some reason
[16:56] <jkrx> ldiamond: havent followed this. What does wine need exactly?
[16:56] <ldiamond> jkrx, /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
[16:56] <Armag3dd0n1> why is ubuntu power hungry?
[16:57] <ldiamond> Armag3dd0n1, you probably should elaborate on that.
[16:57] <Yelu> Armag3dd0n1, because Linux is pure energy.
[16:57] <daftykins> Armag3dd0n1: you keep coming in talking about laptop battery life, nothing is going to have changed since the other day.
[16:58] <Armag3dd0n1> yeah, sorry. i have done every tweka on ubuntu and the battery still isn't good on my laptop. im on windows now and its saying 7 hours where ubuntu was 5 hours
[16:58] <daftykins> Armag3dd0n1: deal with it.
[16:58] <Armag3dd0n1> no need to be so harsh
[16:58] <Armag3dd0n1> :/
[16:58] <daftykins> well when you keep coming in asking the same thing over a week, it gets pretty stupid, don't you agree?
[16:58] <Armag3dd0n1> yes but ubuntu is suppose to be better?
[16:58] <Armag3dd0n1> :/
[16:59] <OerHeks> Armag3dd0n1, saying 7 hours? please keep the time, come back if it is over 5 hours :-D
[16:59] <ldiamond> Armag3dd0n1, Ubuntu isn't more power hungry than windows. Have a look at the running processes.
[16:59] <rvdv> What a operating system tells you, does not have to be true ...
[16:59] <jkrx> ldiamond: desktop-file-utils
[16:59] <jkrx> fontconfig

[16:59] <unopaste> jkrx you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[17:00] <Armag3dd0n1> LOL
[17:00] <ldiamond> I think that was a failed paste.
[17:00] <Armag3dd0n1> 8  hours now
[17:00] <Armag3dd0n1> no tweaks on windows either
[17:00] <OerHeks> those numbers still are an estimate, depends on what you do with it. yes you can keep your system 7 hours alive, not doing anything.
[17:00] <Armag3dd0n1> im on irc on it lol
[17:00] <daftykins> Armag3dd0n1: this channel is NOT for general discussion, either phrase a support question or go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:01] <ldiamond> Armag3dd0n1, you don't need tweaks or anything
[17:01] <rvdv> ha ... it's going up ... that has to be som magick windows voodoo
[17:01] <loa> can't understand i try to use notify-send and use -u critical
[17:01] <loa> but nothing changes
[17:01] <sl33k_> Am I muted?
[17:01] <Armag3dd0n1> nah im sorry but i must be doing something wrong :/
[17:01] <loa> notification is always same.
[17:01] <sl33k_> nope sorry to bother
[17:01] <ldiamond> Armag3dd0n1, the fact that windows says you have 8hours left of battery doesn't make it true.
[17:02] <jkrx> nope I was muted
[17:02] <sl33k_> How does KDE compare to Gnome?
[17:02] <ldiamond> sl33k_, kde uses QT and Gnome GTK+
[17:02] <Armag3dd0n1> you're right BUT it was going down quicker on ubuntu
[17:02] <jkrx> ldiamond: check ubuntus package page and see what dependencies wine has
[17:02] <sl33k_> ldiamond: does gnome has larger mindshare?
[17:02] <Armag3dd0n1> swear i must of installed ubuntu 50 times lol
[17:03] <ldiamond> Armag3dd0n1, maybe you're doing more while on ubuntu?
[17:03] <gegge87> hi. i have some problems with the audio on my asus with an hda-intel. Headphones ok, speakers muted. Tryed everything found on the web, still nothing
[17:03] <jkrx> sl33k_: they dont compare except that both are full-fledged DEs
[17:03] <Armag3dd0n1> nah i was on irc too
[17:03] <ldiamond> Armag3dd0n1, installing once is enough.
[17:03] <sl33k_> ubuntu is gnome and ku.. is KDE. riight?
[17:03] <jkrx> sl33k_: yes
[17:03] <ldiamond> yes, and lubuntu is lxde and xubuntu is xfce
[17:03] <Armag3dd0n1> i kept installing stuff and not knowing how to remove them so i reinstalled ubuntu lol
[17:03] <Armag3dd0n1> sorry i noob
[17:04] <jkrx> ldiamond: soon to be lxqt
[17:04] <OerHeks> notify-send test  --urgency=critical
[17:04] <sl33k_> cool thanks for your response jkrx
[17:04] <ldiamond> Armag3dd0n1, well, if you keep installing stuff then your battery will not last as long.
[17:04] <jkrx> ldiamond: or are they keeping lxde?
[17:04] <ldiamond> jkrx, didn't know that
[17:04] <Armag3dd0n1> i only had xbmc, vlc, firefox and xchat
[17:04] <Armag3dd0n1> brb
[17:05] <ldiamond> Armag3dd0n1, stop relying on the battery indicator. Battery life will depend on your usage mostly. Ubuntu (or any Linux distro) is much better than windows if you ask me.
[17:05] <sl33k_> are there any free graphic drivers?
[17:05] <ldiamond> if by 'free' you mean you don't have to pay, all of them.
[17:05] <ldiamond> if by 'free' you mean opensource, yes, they come with ubuntu
[17:06] <sl33k_> Do you feel satisfied with the current graphics for computing? Are drivers only important for gaming purposes?
[17:06] <gegge87> anyone could help with ALSA problems?
[17:06] <sl33k_> ldiamond: hmm so ubuntu provides one out of the box. where can I find more about this?
[17:07] <ldiamond> sl33k_, I always install the prop drivers because I tend to use some of the extra features. However, since nvidia started opening some of its architecture, the opensource drives have gotten much better
[17:09] <sl33k_> good to hear your perspective ldiamond!

[17:10] <designbybeck> kernel panic - not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0 0)
[17:10] <designbybeck> HP EliteBook Ubuntu 14.04 64bit I finally fixed the GRUB issue, but now Ubuntu will not boot... I get this: kernel panic - not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0 0)
[17:11] <sl33k_> ldiamond: inbuilt one from intel I suppose
[17:11] <sl33k_> sl33k@sl33k-laptop:~$ lspci | grep VGA
[17:11] <sl33k_> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[17:11] <sl33k_> ldiamond: how about you? which one do you use?
[17:11] <ldiamond> I have an Nvidia card so I use their drivers.
[17:12] <sl33k_> cool stuff
[17:13] <cyrildz_> Hey all :)
[17:14] <cyrildz_> I'm trying to implement a c++  plugin ( a model) for qml
[17:14] <cyrildz_> but I still get the " module xxxx is not installed" message
[17:15] <cyrildz_> I don't where I should look now for a detailed tuto on this topic
[17:15] <cyrildz_> I followed the Qt Doc but without succes
[17:17] <HeyItsMe> hey
[17:18] <sl33k_> I cant find my partitions and file systems after reinstall. Help?
[17:19] <brianblaze420> overwritten?
[17:20] <sl33k_> to me?
[17:20] <sl33k_> I am not sure
[17:21] <OerHeks> sl33k_, what does gparted tell you?
[17:22] <sl33k_> OerHeks: would have to download.
[17:22] <sl33k_> other alternative to check?
[17:23] <OerHeks> fdisk maybe, if it is not an gpt disk
[17:25] <sl33k_> OerHeks: this creates new partition I think? Could I check if my drives/partitions are lost?
[17:27] <OerHeks> sudo fdisk -l # give a list of disks & partitions, copy it to paste.ubuntu.com
[17:27] <OerHeks> sure you know this basic info
[17:28] <sl33k_> OerHeks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7458595/
[17:30] <OerHeks> sl33k_, your previous install was encrypted disk + home?
[17:31] <sl33k_> OerHeks: it was not encrypted.
[17:31] <OerHeks> sl33k_, that is how i read it.
[17:32] <sl33k_> OerHeks: Not sure if it was /home
[17:32] <sl33k_> are those file systems lost beyond repair?
[17:33] <OerHeks> sl33k_, as /root and swap were encrypted too, i guess your whole system was encrypted, a little tiny option during install
[17:33] <OerHeks> recovery is impossible AFAIK
[17:33] <Toph> i'm running ubuntu 13.10 and when suspended, i loose my connection to my router and am unable to reconnect without rebooting. Any idea what I can do to reconnect without rebooting?
[17:33] <module000> sl33k_: you don't have the passphrase to unlock the disk?
[17:34] <sl33k_> OerHeks: I opted to encrypt during fresh install.
[17:34] <sl33k_> module000: I have. Where do I access these partitions if it can be assuming?
[17:35] <sl33k_> I am perplexed atm. How many partitions do I presently have? Where is /home located?
[17:35] <module000> sl33k_: you use cryptsetup (eg cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/your_encrypted_device unencrypted_device), and enter the key
[17:40] <ramos> I'm trying to install 14.04 from  a flash drive. Can someone help me with this please?
[17:40] <sl33k_> module000 thanks for the command. How do I know device name here?
[17:40] <sl33k_> ramos: sure. update us where you are at the moment
[17:41] <ramos> sl33k_, well I'm looking online but I don't see where I can just copy the iso to a usb flash and boot and install.   Allz I'm seeing are exe files
[17:42] <rvdv> ramos:  what OS you are usinng to burn/put the iso on the USB drive?
[17:42] <lucido> I cant start unetbootin unetbootin: cannot connect to X server :0
[17:43] <lucido> why o why
[17:43] <rvdv> exe files? ... windows?
[17:43] <ramos> rvdv, I'm using ubuntu 12.04
[17:43] <sl33k_> ramos: GUI method http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[17:43] <rvdv> Then you can do a upgrade from there
[17:44] <ramos> sl33k_, ok I'll check it out...Thanks bro!
[17:44] <sl33k_> ramos: if you are 12.04 you can upgrade instead of install as rvdv suggested
[17:45] <rvdv> sudo do-release-upgrade -d as I remember
[17:46] <rvdv> or maybe without the "-d"
[17:46] <sl33k_> ramos: install is recommended to those who are using unsupported versions iirc
[17:47] <ramos> sl33k_, thanks...Does it matter if I have other stuff on the flash drive?
[17:48] <rvdv> ramos if you really want to continue with a usb install, then all other stuff of the usb will be lost ... but as said .... you can just upgrade from 12.04
[17:51] <rvdv> ramos: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/04/upgrade-ubuntu-14-04-12-04
[17:52] <sl33k_> ramos: you have to format it before backing up the usb drive. But why don't you upgrade it from the terminal? rvdv dropped the command above supposedly
[17:53] <ramos> sl33k_, I've been trying to upgrade from command line for the last 3 days.  I've been working others here and it seems as though I"ve got a mixture of 10.04 and 12.04 os's, which won't allow me access to the respsitories
[17:55] <sl33k_> ramos: here is another method from direct command line. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles#Ubuntu Topic -> Command Line Interface
[17:56] <sl33k_> You need to see what your usb is named? sudo dmesg | tail -20
[17:57] <sl33k_> paste to pastebin

[18:03] <sazrom> windows

[18:03] <sprung> Hello. I added the development version of the v4l drivers from launchpad, and upon running an apt-get upgrade which upgraded a number of packages, now my webcam doesn't work at all and detects a webcam that isn't even the correct model, a usb-SunplusIT_Inc_SPCA2082_PC_Camera-video-index0. I need some help undoing what i've done. The original reason why I did that was because the HipChat messaging client kept dropping my video chats after a few minutes.
[18:03] <jkrx> misingnoglic: go tty and cehck the log
[18:03] <jkrx> misingnoglic: maybe there is a BIG error that u might remember
[18:04] <misingnoglic> jkrx: it says gtk warning cannot open display
[18:04] <misingnoglic> when I open that log
[18:04] <sprung> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

[18:05] <szronik> Okay, here's the problem I have. My Android phone isn't being recognized by the OS. Pinned it down to a kernel feature called USB OTG and found some posts where people had similar problems. It seems like this is a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1047527   Supposedly it's been fixed, but I'm running 3.14.3 and it isn't fixed. Now, I'd like to recompile the kernel with the feature disabled, but I get the following erro
[18:05] <szronik> r: http://hastebin.com/itijeyuwib.hs
[18:05] <jkrx> misingnoglic: what were u doing when it broke?
[18:05] <jkrx> brb
[18:05] <misingnoglic> jkrx: I closed my laptop, and then when I opened it there was only a staticy screen and my cursor so I hard reset it, and then this happened
[18:06] <oal> What's the recommended way of getting ubuntu on a macbook pro retina? Download the +mac iso, repartition hard drive and install? I want to dual boot with OSX
[18:06] <marsfligth> Hi, when will be offer the new LTS for upgrade the existing previous LTS (12.04)? In 'software update' I set 'upgrade only LTS versions' but I have two PC wit the 12.04.x LTS one in English and another one in Italian but until now I did not get any kind of offer. Have i to do it manually like 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'do-release-upgrade'. Anyway I'd prefer that is Ubuntu to offer it automatically. Thanks
[18:07] <Beldar> marsfligth, In july

[18:08] <marsfligth> Beldar, and bazhang Thanks for the precious informtions

[18:10] <Jordan_U> oal: Do you plan to actually burn the iso to a DVD, or do you plan to make a bootable USB?
[18:10] <Seven_Six_Two> does anyone have a link to shuttleworth's keynote today? Is it available yet?
[18:10] <oal> Jordan_U, bootable usb
[18:10] <Jordan_U> oal: Then don't use the +mac iso.
[18:10] <misingnoglic> jkrx: do you know how to make it back to normal?
[18:11] <oal> Jordan_U, thanks for letting me know. Do I need refind, or can I just repartition the disk and choose to boot from the ubuntu partition at boot?
[18:11] <jkrx> misingnoglic: can you check xorg.0.log?
[18:11] <marsfligth> Beldar, and bazhang I have a shop where I insatall and reapair PC. Since the release of 12.04 LTS I intsalled many and I'd like to be ready when customers will call me for infos about the upgrade offered

[18:17] <bekks> R4v3n_: Expected values.

[18:18] <R4v3n_> gigabit network on nas but on client only 100mb ethernet
[18:18] <OerHeks> 30MB/s is fast for samba :-)
[18:18] <shashuto1112> @Beldar    ppa install
[18:18] <bekks> R4v3n_: Then your clients cant copy faster than 12.5MB/s.
[18:18] <bekks> R4v3n_: You are fine.
[18:19] <R4v3n_> bekks: thx
[18:19] <Beldar> shashuto1112, Tab complete nicks no @. PPA's are not supported here is all try the repos version after purging the ppa
[18:19] <jkrx> misingnoglic: seems nvidia failed
[18:19] <Beldar> !ppa-purge | shashuto1112
[18:20] <shashuto1112> @Beldar i am using a 32 bit version of ubuntu 14.04. I did purge the ppa and installed the repos. But more problems were there in repos like lot of lagging. so i removed the repos and again put up the ppa.
[18:21] <misingnoglic> jkrx: what can I do now
[18:21] <Beldar> shashuto1112, Could this be a hardware limitations?
[18:21] <jkrx> misingnoglic: I dont have a nvidia card so Im looking it up for u
[18:21] <misingnoglic> thank you :)
[18:21] <_ramok> hi
[18:22] <jkrx> misingnoglic: jsut to be sure try lsmod | grep nvidia
[18:22] <_ramok> if i run this command on the bash, nothing really happens: pkill -f ShopTransaction && sleep 5 && for i in {1..7}; do ./startLogWorker.sh; done    i thought the second one will run if the first one was successfull
[18:22] <_ramok> what am i doing wrong?
[18:22] <jkrx> ok misingnoglic try modprobe -r nvidia
[18:23] <misingnoglic> lsmod | grep nvidia does nothing
[18:23] <jkrx> misingnoglic: and the modprobe nvidia
[18:23] <sprung> How can i find what the module is for /dev/video0 ? ever since i upgraded v4l with development drivers, it's displaying the wrong model. i'm trying to revert from the development version and my webcam won't work
[18:24] <misingnoglic> jkrx: FATAL: module nvidia not found
[18:24] <sprung> i want to blacklist the module but i don't know which it is
[18:24] <jkrx> misingnoglic: did u try both commands?
[18:24] <jkrx> misingnoglic: more importantly do u have an nvidia card?
[18:24] <misingnoglic> The modprobe -r said usage lsmod
[18:25] <misingnoglic> and without the -r gave that message
[18:25] <shashuto1112> @ Beldar . Well really cant say it to be a problem. ( H/W limitation) . Other multimedia players are running very well, and the vlc is facing some other issues like sound is gone sometime. navigation is not working quite well.
[18:25] <Rangdo> What's the compatibility of Gnome 3 with Unity? The only PPA I can find for the latest Gnome will break Unity.
[18:25] <jkrx> misingnoglic: sounds like u need to reinstall your nvidia drivers for some weird reason
[18:25] <sl33k_> My usb drive is not being detected. so is another flash drive.
[18:25] <Beldar> sprung, outside the repos installs are not really supported here, however you may get help, you just have to have patience.
[18:25] <sl33k_> How could I figure out the root cause?
[18:25] <misingnoglic> I'm pretty sure my graphics card is nvidia
[18:25] <airstrike> hi. how do i pipe 'aaa bbb ccc...' to a command and get only 'bbb ccc...'?
[18:25] <Rangdo> shashuto1112: Have you checked you have the most uodated codecs?
[18:26] <airstrike> assuming a string of unknown length
[18:26] <Beldar> shashuto1112, Strange, not sure of any answer, generally this app seems to work, I use it ans we see very little not working of it here.
[18:26] <Beldar> and*
[18:26] <jkrx> misingnoglic: lspci | grep -i --color 'vga|3d|2d'
[18:27] <shashuto1112> @Rangdo yes. I do.
[18:27] <KGM70> misingnoglic, lspci | grep VGA, will tell you for sure
[18:27] <Jordan_U> oal: With just a default install of Ubuntu you may need to hold option at boot to see Ubuntu as an option, though I haven't tried recently enough to be sure one way or another. Either way, you can always install refind later.
[18:28] <shashuto1112> @Beldar yes. I was using it very well on ubuntu n13.10. Then i upgraded to ubuntu 14.04 and these were the problems that started.
[18:28] <sazrom> can I install nginx server on ubuntu pc at home ?
[18:28] <Beldar> shashuto1112, I would run a live 14.04 and see if the same thing happens, and try making another user as well to test.
[18:29] <Jordan_U> airstrike: Are you trying to remove the first word of a line? It's not clear what "aaa" is supposed to represent. What is your end goal?
[18:29] <Rangdo> sazrom: No reason why not. Configuration etc will need to be done. May I ask why? VPS are cheap these days.
[18:29] <shashuto1112> @Beldar I did try the live 14.04 but lemme check by making another user. Thanks
[18:29] <misingnoglic> jkrx: your command doesn't get me anythink but KGM70 's confirms I have a Nvidia
[18:30] <sazrom> Rangdo: You own a VPS ?
[18:30] <Beldar> shashuto1112, I never upgrade, I can fresh install and have everything the same in about 1/4 the time. We do see upgrade problems here at times
[18:30] <jkrx> misingnoglic: reinstall nvidia drivers would be my advice
[18:30] <misingnoglic> how do I do that
[18:30] <sazrom> Rangdo: Should I get a cheap vps for that ?
[18:30] <Rangdo> sazrom: Amazon, etc, all can get you one cheap. Amazon is free for the first year.
[18:31] <sazrom> Rangdo: can you send me the link ? i cant find it
[18:31] <jkrx> misingnoglic: dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[18:31] <jkrx> check if u have any drivers installed
[18:31] <Rangdo> sazrom: "Amazon AWS"
[18:31] <sprung> How can i find what module is in use for /dev/video0 ?
[18:32] <shashuto1112> @beldar I didn't had any extra drive to backup my data. so i ended up upgrading the O.S. Thnaks. I will try to again do a fresh install if the problem persist.
[18:32] <sazrom> Rangdo: do you own vps ?
[18:33] <sprung> i want to remove the following driver: /dev/usb-SunplusIT_Inc_SPCA2082_PC_Camera-event-if00
[18:33] <sprung> how do i do that
[18:33] <Rangdo> sazrom: Own? No. Use? Yes.
[18:33] <Rangdo> What's the compatibility of Gnome 3 with Unity? The only PPA I can find for the latest Gnome will break Unity.
[18:33] <sazrom> Rangdo: Is the VPS commercial ? You play with it ?
[18:34] <Beldar> shashuto1112, That happens, personally I have 2, 2 terrabyte externals, on is clones backup etc, the other is a backup of it.
[18:34] <Jordan_U> Rangdo: You can certainly play with GNOME3 from 14.04's default repositories without breaking Unity.
[18:34] <Beldar> one is*
[18:34] <Rangdo> sazrom: Minecraft server, and a private mud server
[18:34] <sazrom> Rangdo: PM me the company from which you got your vps

[18:37] <Beldar> sl33k_, If you have FF 29 there is a button top far right as well for other access
[18:38] <shashuto1112> @Beldar I did checked the recent forums and find few people having the same problems. I did whatever suggestions were thh=ere as well. BUt still the same.
[18:38] <Beldar> shashuto1112, All my ubuntu installs 14.04, 14.10 do the same, so did 12.04 and 13.10, not sure the answer. Mine just did/do not always open the same as closed is all.
[18:39] <Beldar> not a big issue for is all

[18:46] <sl33k_> What does sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3 command do specifically the add-apt-repository part?
[18:46] <Beldar> hillary, YOu just need to set the permissions.
[18:46] <hillary> i have been using it all along
[18:47] <hillary> how do i set permission
[18:47] <Rangdo> sl33k_: quick answer, adds it to the list of software sources for auto updating
[18:47] <shashuto1112> @hillary follow @Beldar comments. Just reset the permissions.
 sudo chmod device name
[18:48] <sl33k_> Rangdo: are 3rd party repos reliable?
 i have pasted it
 please check
[18:49] <Beldar> hillary, I have rarely used an ext type on a flash I just cheat with a gksudo nautilus go to usb right click properties and change permission. This can be done from the terminal, someone here knows that most likely.
[18:49] <Rangdo> hillary: assuming not a user error like flicked the write protect switch, look at `dmesg` for filesystem error. fix with `fsck` if found.
[18:49] <xMopxShell> hey, how best to troubleshoot "connect: Network is unreachable" when configuring ipv6?
[18:49] <OerHeks> sl33k_, PPA's are not reliable as we have no influence on it, so you have no support here.
[18:49] <rvdv> Babin___: ubottu is a bot
[18:50] <Beldar> Rangdo, fsck for a file permission error?
[18:50] <sl33k_> OerHeks: can I remove the repo after I install their software?
[18:50] <Rangdo> sl33k_: impossible to answer, depends entirely on ppa maintainer
[18:50] <rvdv> !ubottu
[18:50] <Beldar> Babin___, I asked you to paste that
[18:51] <Rangdo> Beldar: the drive is mounting read only, usually that is because of filesytem error. but i agree it could be permissions, imjust dont think it likely
[18:51] <OerHeks> sl33k_, sure, but without updates things might break your system.
 are you there?
[18:51] <OerHeks> !ppa > sl33k_
[18:51] <Beldar> Babin___, ubottu is not a person.
[18:51] <Rangdo> it is since it's just passed the turing test, so we have to admit it :-)
 I have pasted it. Please check
[18:52] <Beldar> Babin___, you have to give us the url.
[18:52] <sl33k_> !addppa
http://paste.ubuntu.com/7458940/
[18:53] <sl33k_> !ppa-purge
[18:53] <sl33k_> How does | differ from > for shell scripting?
[18:54] <Beldar> Babin___, I would change the repo in software sources, does this make sense?
[18:54] <Rangdo> Babin___: That looks loke the mirror is down, use a different one.
[18:54] <Rangdo> broken not down
[18:55] <rvdv> Babin___: why you wwant to use a debian repo?
 what to change in a repo?
[18:55] <Aegir> Aegir heeft verlaten (Aegir quit)
[18:55] <Beldar> Rangdo, Be careful on this channel, if someone is helping another, with no mistakes adding extra info can confuse the end user is all.
[18:56] <SoulRaven> hello
 I am trying to install reporting tool called foreman
[18:56] <SoulRaven> plase help me, to configure vsftpd
[18:56] <Rangdo> Beldar: You still believe that flash disk is  a permissions issue?
[18:56] <Beldar> Babin___, not in the repo but change the repo
[18:57] <SoulRaven> i have try this tutorial, http://alethotech.com/?p=309, but still i can't get to login
[18:57] <SoulRaven> and i don't know why
[18:57] <SoulRaven> anyone use vsftpd
[18:57] <SoulRaven> ?
[18:57] <skinux> For some reason, when I bring up dashboard, it has search box, but doesn't show any results
[18:57] <Beldar> Rangdo, I don't believe anything without proof.
[18:57] <Pencil_> hello
[18:58] <Rangdo> Beldar: in  my experience, most times when ubuntu suddenly  mounts a usb flash or hard drive in read only mode, it because it's seen a file system error on it.
 I have already added sources  echo "deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ wheezy 1.5" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list echo "deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ plugins 1.5" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list
[18:59] <bekks> Babin___: Why do you use debian repos on Ubuntu?
 Its my work computer.
[19:00] <rvdv> Babin___: wheezy is DEBIAN stable at the moment ...
[19:00] <rvdv> Not ununtu
[19:00] <Beldar> Rangdo, Dude stop talking to me I don't care of your experience. I am concerned with how you use the channel giving solid advice, not opinions and posting the same or intruding on other help scenarios. ;)
[19:00] <bekks> Babin___: Well. Good luck then.
[19:00] <rvdv> ubuntu*
[19:00] <glitch> Can I start a program on a specific user through /etc/init.d/?
 I have replaced wheezy with trusty
[19:00] <glitch> I want to a program to start on boot but not on root
[19:00] <Beldar> Babin___, wheezy is debian, not a good idea.
[19:01] <Sach_> Just upgraded to 14.04, but my wireless is not appearing.  How do I get it back?
[19:01] <pavlos> Babin___, http://theforeman.org/manuals/1.5/quickstart_guide.html   use the ubuntu links to install
[19:01] <bekks> Babin___: Which is invalid, according to http://deb.theforeman.org/
[19:01] <Beldar> Sach_, run lspci and identify the wifi hardware to the channel.
[19:02] <Rangdo> Beldar: I could say the same of you, I think you're more than likely wrong about the USB
[19:03] <almagar> hello
[19:03] <pavlos> hillary, can you plug another usb stick? does it mount RO or RW?
[19:03] <Jordan_U> sl33k_: For basic usage, "|" pipes the output of one command (stdout) to the input of another (stdin), while ">" redirects stdout to a file. "echo hello, world | sed s/hello/howdy/ > /tmp/howdy_world.txt" will first send "hello, world" to sed, which will replace "hello" with "howdy", and then will direct sed's "howdy, world" to /tmp/howdy_world.txt . There is more to it than that, and if you want more detail / a more rigorous ...
[19:03] <Sach_> Beldar: done. It's Broadcom BCM4311.
[19:03] <Jordan_U> ... answer please ask in #bash.
[19:03] <Beldar> !broadcom > Sach_
[19:04] <voix> Hello
[19:05] <misingnoglic> jkrx: I just reinstalled all the drivers for nvidia but it's still not loading unity or the dash on reboot
[19:05] <almagar> adiós, me voy
 Please check this one.http://paste.ubuntu.com/7459018/
[19:06] <sl33k_> Jordan_U: great answer. I ended up getting an idea on sed as well. thanks!
[19:06] <jkrx> misingnoglic: that is strange indeed
[19:06] <voix> m8 anyone knows how to install cyberghost?
[19:06] <jkrx> misingnoglic: did u check that modules are being loaded and so on
[19:06] <Jordan_U> sl33k_: You're welcome :)
[19:06] <Beldar> Babin___, PPA's are not supported here, contacting the maintainers, or 3rd party developers is you option.
[19:06] <Seramon> hi everyone
[19:06] <Beldar> your*
[19:07] <Seramon> erm... my terminal window is gone
[19:07] <Beldar> Seramon, what does ctrl-alt-t do
[19:07] <Seramon> i had uninstall my python
 can you please atleat explain the problem?
[19:07] <misingnoglic> jkrx: I don't know what you mean by that, I just uninstalled and reinstalled the driver
 is it something to do with my securities and firewall
[19:08] <jkrx> misingnoglic: grep '(EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:08] <Beldar> Babin___, You have a very messy problem, I can not even come close to a fix. I don't have the patience to help users that I have to explain every single thing multiple times, that is a personal issue is all.
[19:09] <vlad_starkov> Question: How can I disable ufw/table to filter inter-bridge traffic? I tried "iptables -I FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged -j ACCEPT" but it doesn't help.
 Thanks for your help.
[19:10] <Beldar> Babin___, No problem, If I could help, I would. ;)
[19:11] <lifeforms> I accidentally deleted the 'linux-server' package while doing some sed magic to delete old kernels, can I expect badness to happen?
[19:12] <misingnoglic> jkrx: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8a49uSgciSMdVd2QUdhelByd2c/edit?usp=sharing this is the error it gives
[19:12] <Rangdo> Has anyone got pepper (flash) working on Firefox?
[19:13] <Beldar> lifeforms, In trusty linux-server is a transitional.
[19:13] <bsdbandit> anyone using kickstart with ubuntu linux

[19:14] <jrivero> quick question about launchpad: What would be the best way of reopening the bug in order to get an stable update? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libtar/+bug/1315742
[19:14] <rymate1234> Hey how do I force ubuntu to use a resolution higher than my display?
[19:14] <Beldar> lifeforms, Describing the exact install to the channel, might help, if you need more info. I do not have that even installed in the trusty release.
[19:14] <Beldar> !xrandr | rymate1234
[19:14] <rymate1234> I have a 1024x600 screen and wish to display in 1024x768
[19:14] <lifeforms> Beldar: thanks, this is 12.04 LTS; I just noticed that re-adding it suggests the new kernel, so I think if I'll do that, I'll be fine :) thanks!
[19:15] <Beldar> lifeforms, Cool, it's there to tweak till it bricks, hehe. ;)
[19:15] <lifeforms> I don't know if anyone has an account on askubuntu.com that has enough power to edit, but the top answer on http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu-or-free-sp has a very dangerous sed...
[19:15] <jkrx> misingnoglic: dont know what those slots do
[19:15] <lifeforms> the sed command is trying to find all linux kernels older than the current one, but it matches 'linux-server' as well, which is probably not intended...
[19:16] <misingnoglic> jkrx: any idea how to find out?
[19:16] <jkrx> misingnoglic: fb0 is apparently the framebuffer drive
[19:16] <Beldar> lifeforms, I just use ubuntu tweak for kernels...etc, however I know the cli method to purge the kernels.
[19:17] <woof-woof> !remaster
[19:17] <jkrx> misingnoglic: so thats the real problem now how to solve it
[19:17] <Beldar> woof-woof, 3rd party and not running anymore I believe.
[19:17] <woof-woof> ?
[19:17] <lifeforms> Beldar: looks cool :) this is a server box that I'm experimenting with though
[19:18] <Beldar> lifeforms, Ah, if you have no X the terminal is the tool.
[19:18] <rymate1234> Beldar: thanks I'll look into it
[19:18] <jkrx> misingnoglic: do u have access to a web browser?
[19:18] <Sach_> Beldar: when running the commands for the b43 driver, I get the error: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[19:19] <Beldar> rymate1234, xrandr has  some options worth trying I believe.
[19:19] <Beldar> Sach_, YOu have the software center open, or another install app like synaptic?
[19:20] <Sach_> Beldar: just Terminal and Firefox.
[19:21] <deadmund> Sach_: Beldar Sometimes the lock file is left behind if some apt process crashes.  If you're sure there is no other package manager running, just delete that file
[19:21] <Beldar> Sach_, Did you stop an install while it was running?
[19:22] <Beldar> deadmund, Really wow, lol.
[19:22] <Sach_> Beldar: no.  but I did force shut down earlier when the upgrade prompted a reboot.  The computer froze which is why I did a force shut down
[19:22] <BananaManLinux1> what's the link to make an ubuntu suggestion?
[19:22] <deadmund> Beldar: sometimes :)
[19:22] <deadmund> Sach_: That is exactly what left the lock file behind :P
[19:22] <Beldar> Sach_, Try running sudo apt-get -f install
[19:22] <rymate1234> I got an error http://i.imgur.com/VG9YmkAh.jpg
[19:22] <BananaManLinux1> what's the link to make an ubuntu suggestion?
[19:22] <u0xee> hello
[19:23] <deadmund> Beldar: I think all the various apt programs check the lock before they do anything (even -f) but I'm not sure.
[19:23] <deadmund> u0xee: hi
[19:23] <Sach_> Beldar: it produces the same error
[19:23] <shashuto1112> Sach_ sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock                   remove the lock file then.
[19:24] <Pici> !aptfix
[19:24] <Beldar> deadmund, Just for the record I have spent years here, and over 12000 posts on the ubuntu forums, I'm not a noob, nor do I need help here. I started on open source, and have been using it for about 7 years.
[19:24] <Sach_> Beldar:  http://pastebin.com/BNkcGvEe
[19:24] <genii> BananaManLinux1: There's no link. Just pm the bot something like: factoidname is whatever the factoid should be    ...and it gets sent automatically
[19:24] <genii> BananaManLinux1: Oh, apologies, mistook "ubuntu" for "ubottu"
[19:25] <BananaManLinux1> lol
[19:25] <shashuto1112> Sach_ also from the cache directory sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[19:25] <shashuto1112> @Beldar hey, can it be solved with deleting the lock file?
[19:25] <shashuto1112> I mean the problem of Sach_
[19:26] <Beldar> shashuto1112, Genrally yes, however we do have a broken update here, so the -f install would be run after the delete.
[19:26] <Beldar> upgrade*
[19:26] <Rick_> gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. can someone explain me this error please?
[19:26] <Beldar> Rick_, pastebin the error.
[19:27] <Sach_> Beldar: so how do I get the -f install to run if it gave the error?
[19:27] <shashuto1112> @Beldar Don't mind.  You mention a upgrade problem and a reboot, finishing that upgrade is the first priority.
[19:29] <jkrx> misingnoglic: found a page describing different kinds of solution
[19:29] <jkrx> misingnoglic: have u tried setting kernel parameter nofb?
[19:29] <misingnoglic> I have not, how do I do that
[19:30] <Rick_> gpg --keyserver [name of keyserver] --recv-keys [keyhash] is this command valid in ubuntu? I have a hash keys, it has pub, sub keys there which one is to use
[19:30] <Sach_> Beldar: makes sense.  However, every time I try to shut down/reboot, it hangs on the Ubuntu 5 dots just prior to shut down
[19:30] <jkrx> u add it at the end of kernel line in grub.conf
[19:30] <jkrx> misingnoglic: u add it at the end of kernel line in grub.conf

[19:30] <misingnoglic> jkrx: can you elaborate?
[19:31] <Sach_> OerHeks: no, I dont
[19:31] <genii> BananaManLinux1: As for your original question... if you have a suggestion for something related to a specific package in Ubuntu, the usual method is to file a bug report against that package with a title like "Feature Request" or "Wishlist" or similar, then make your case for the change you'd like to have inside the bug report.
[19:31] <jkrx> /boot/grub/grub.conf
[19:31] <Beldar> Sach_, In this situation for me I ask myself, do I spend the time fixing this or just do a fresh install, time is the key for me.
[19:31] <jkrx> kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-20-386 root=/dev/hda5 ro nofb

[19:31] <Beldar> OerHeks, Thanks.
[19:32] <Rick_> gpg --keyserver [name of keyserver] --recv-keys [keyhash] is this command valid in ubuntu? I have a hash keys, it has pub, sub keys there which one is to use?
[19:32] <Sach_> Beldar: I did a fresh install 70mins ago.  Are you suggesting a repeat?
[19:32] <Beldar> Sach_, see that aptlock bot info
[19:32] <shashuto1112> Sach_ Try to shutdown from the terminal. It saved me twice.
[19:32] <misingnoglic> jkrx: I found grub.cfg, is that the same thing?
[19:32] <jkrx> ah yea sorry
[19:33] <jkrx> cfg is correct
[19:33] <Beldar> Sach_, I did not know this was a 70 min fresh install, or do I know much more to be honest. A locked apt is basic stuff and we are unable to even get that done
[19:34] <misingnoglic> jkrx: it says i dont have permission to edit that file
[19:34] <Beldar> Sach_, try this command from the bot  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a  then run a update and then the -f install to start with.
[19:35] <misingnoglic> (Also at the top it says don't edit the file if that means anything)
[19:35] <Seramon> er... why is it that i can't find my terminal or firefox even though i've just installed it?
[19:35] <Beldar> Seramon, What release and desktop?
[19:35] <linagee> what is "Ubuntu MOTU developers"?
[19:35] <Seramon> ubuntu?
[19:35] <jkrx> misingnoglic: u need to use sudo
[19:35] <misingnoglic> can I do that not in the command line?
[19:36] <linagee> Seramon: ubuntu is like debian on steroids
[19:36] <Pici> linagee: Masters of the Universe.  The developers who manage Ubuntu's Universe repository.
[19:36] <rww> ubottu: motu | linagee
[19:36] <Beldar> Seramon, hit the super key to open the dash, or the left wall to show the panel.
[19:36] <linagee> rww: thanks
[19:36] <shashuto1112> Seramon, did you try the shortcut for the terminal.???
[19:36] <Seramon> my left panel is there
[19:37] <Seramon> the shortcut works
[19:37] <Beldar> Seramon, tyoe the app in the dash you want
[19:37] <Seramon> but i can't find it under the desktop search

[19:40] <Beldar> BananaManLinux1, heh no biggie, this is support the offtopic channel is a good chat place, if you lower your IQ to about 70-80
[19:40] <jkrx> misingnoglic: sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg when u are done editing u close with ctrl+x
[19:40] <jkrx> misingnoglic: no need to paste
[19:40] <Seramon> sorry Beldar, where's the dash you are talking about?
[19:40] <jkrx> misingnoglic: just find the line I told u about and write nofb
[19:40] <Beldar> Seramon, the dash should show if you hit the super key.
[19:40] <misingnoglic> OH ok
[19:40] <Beldar> the windows icon key
[19:41] <shashuto1112> @beldar Hey. I installed the repos vlc. and now i have a new problem. If i use Ctrl+ right arrow to forward, then i lose the sound completely until i do Shift+ arrow to forward it a little more. Did you come across this problem anytime?
[19:42] <Seramon> oh, that's the one i'm talking about. it keeps telling me no items matches my search but when i type in ctrl + alt  + T, the terminal comes out
[19:42] <utopian> Hi every1 there is a mistake in the topic the url says ubottu and not ubuntu
[19:43] <Seramon> now i just installed firefox but i can't find it
[19:43] <Beldar> shashuto1112, No, I'm surprised you are, vlc has most codecs, but have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:43] <Pici> utopian: the topic is correct.  The Ubuntu IRC team owns ubottu.com
[19:43] <DaveyG> Hi all. Wonder if someone could help me out. I would like to be able to run my bash script from any directory within a ubuntu cli. Is this posibnl
[19:43] <Beldar> just a guess really shashuto1112
[19:43] <DaveyG> posible google wont help me?
[19:44] <utopian> Add it to your search PATH
[19:44] <utopian> google this: help bash export PATH directory
[19:44] <misingnoglic> jkrx: I can't find any mention of the word kernel in the file

[19:47] <shashuto1112> @ Beldar yes i didthe  ubunut erstricted-extra. Fine. Thanks. Now i think i should completely go for a fresh installation or look for another player as powerful as vlc
[19:48] <designbybeck> I saw on one post to try to change GRUB to your drive like "/dev/sda5" instead of the UUID... Here is what mine looks like: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=71207
[19:48] <designbybeck> Should both of those uuid's be the same?
[19:48] <designbybeck> I get a kernel panic currently
[19:49] <designbybeck> kernel panic - not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0 0)
[19:49] <Ben64> designbybeck: when did you start getting that problem, what did you do before
[19:49] <Beldar> designbybeck, sudo blkid shows the UUID, not sure of your issue flashing the edit on the grub menu
[19:50] <Beldar> flashing=showing*
[19:50] <designbybeck> Ben64, this is a HP EliteBook laptop that has been dual booting Linux and Win 7 for a few years
[19:50] <misingnoglic> Can anyone else help me? For some reason after I closed my laptop my nvidia graphics card drivers stopped working and now on reboots unity/the dash don't load and ccsm freezes on loading icons
[19:50] <designbybeck> Ben64, we just upgrade/clean install everynow and then, so I was going to put her on 14.04, it did have LinuxMint 14KDE on it
[19:51] <designbybeck> Ben64,  I just did a clean install, had aproblem with grub and nothing would boot, but I fixed that and now windows will boot, but not Ubuntu
[19:52] <Ben64> designbybeck: check the md5 of the iso, re-write it, and reinstall
[19:53] <designbybeck> Beldar, Ben64 I've tried most "SOLVED" I could fine on this issue, nothing has seemed to work. I've booted off a Live USB, chroot, ran updates and such, reinstalled grub that way, that was after I had done boot-repare
[19:53] <designbybeck> It installed correctly and I've used that ISO on another system Ben64
[19:53] <designbybeck> wouldn't that mean it is working correctly Ben64
[19:53] <Ben64> if it can't boot i'd have to say it didn't install correctly
[19:54] <designbybeck> We've always had lil' odd things with this HP Elitebook, but this sucker is FAST. Did the faster 14.04 install i've seen thus far
[19:54] <designbybeck> Ok Ben64  I'll give that a go at this point
[19:55] <designbybeck> Now that I know how to fix grub the manual way if I need! ;) spent all morning learning that
[19:55] <Beldar> designbybeck, I would agree with Ben64 but they have a bigger skill set by far. I would see if supergrub boots it if it were me, if not follow the others advice.
[19:55] <BananaManLinux1> is there a command to check how long my system has been on it's battery? ubuntu 14.04?
[19:55] <designbybeck> Boot-repair works in most all cases I've ever needed, just not today
[19:55] <Beldar> designbybeck, You save the bootinfo summary url?
