[00:00] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[00:01] <Finetundra_> then?
[00:02] <EriC^^> for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[00:02] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, do i just paste that to the terminal
[00:02] <Finetundra_> ?
[00:02] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: yes
[00:03] <Finetundra_> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'
[00:03] <Praash> I can't log into any gnome-dependent graphical sessions, and it seems that my user account has some faulty configurations that cause gnome-settings-daemon to crash. I'm able to log into a gnome session with an alternative user account, and I've got SSH access as well. How could I reset my account's configuration files so that my graphical sessions would work properly again?
[00:05] <Jeroen1> does anyone know how to restart php-fpm service when using nginx?
[00:05] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: check if there's a tpo
[00:05] <EriC^^> *typo
[00:05] <EriC^^> i think you forgot for?
[00:05] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, ok
[00:06] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, bash: syntax error near unexpected token `do'
[00:07] <EriC^^> are you sure you're typing for right
[00:07] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, i copied/ pasted it
[00:08] <bodhi_zazen> Jeroen1, like any other service ... sudo service php-fpm restart
[00:09] <bodhi_zazen> or php5-fpm , depends
[00:10] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: can you paste exactly what you're typing here
[00:11] <Finetundra_>  for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[00:11] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: odd, try to remove the space before for
[00:12] <EriC^^> shouldn't matter but who knows
[00:12] <Finetundra_> ok, seems to have worked
[00:12] <Finetundra_> no errors
[00:12] <EriC^^> ok, sudo chroot /mnt
[00:13] <Finetundra_> chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format error
[00:13] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: type cat /mnt/etc/issue
[00:14] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, not found
[00:14] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: ok, your ubuntu installation was the 570GB partition right?
[00:15] <imastupidguest> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04/Unity. I'd like to modify the "places" area in Nautilus file manager (remove some things from showing up and add others instead). I know I can "Bookmark" a folder but that's not what I'm after. I'd like to actually modify "Places". Does anyone know how I might approach something like this?
[00:15] <Jeroen1> I'd get a 502 error after installing my server using nginx. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Cant find it on Google.
[00:15] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, yep.
[00:15] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: what does ls -l /mnt show?
[00:16] <Finetundra_> ls: cannot access show: No such file or directory
[00:16] <EriC^^> ls -l /mnt
[00:17] <imastupidguest> Another option (and one I think I would prefer) is to remove the Places section altogether and go ahead and use Bookmarks only. Would that be easier? How could I approach an option like that?
[00:17] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: do you see a bunch of directories?
[00:17] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, yes
[00:17] <EriC^^> usr boot bin etc
[00:18] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, yes
[00:18] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: ok is /etc there?
[00:19] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, this, drwxr-xr-x 165 root root 12288 Nov  9 19:20 etc
[00:19] <Finetundra_> ?
[00:19] <EriC^^> yeah
[00:20] <Finetundra_> what do i do with it?
[00:22] <EriC^^> is your ubuntu installation 32bit?
[00:22] <Finetundra_> no
[00:22] <EriC^^> is the liveusb 32bit?
[00:22] <Finetundra_> yes
[00:22] <EriC^^> ok, that's why we can't chroot
[00:23] <Finetundra_> oh. ok. so i need to make a 64 bit live then.
[00:23] <kush42> Hey guys. I hope you don't mind if I sneak in a question... :) I'm on ubuntu and trying to monitor a process, and if it fails, kill a remaining process and then restart both. I made a paste of some more details here > http://pastebin.com/ssXGb7hP   If anyone has time and could lend some advice to a noob, it would be grealty appreciated.  Thanks. :)
[00:24] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: do you have a 64bit ready?
[00:24] <Kwayzu> anyone have an idea why after running sudo chmod 777 I can't write to it with transmission?  The folder is /media/ditto/Downloads
[00:25] <Kwayzu> stat Downloads says its still 0755 (no clue why)
[00:25] <bodhi_zazen> is the media vfat or ntfs ?
[00:25] <Finetundra>  EriC^^, I have a 64 bit dvd handy, is that fine?
[00:25] <EriC^^> Finetundra: yes
[00:25] <Church> kush42: simplest imho would be writing small shellscript run at acceptable frequency from cron
[00:25] <Finetundra> ok
[00:25] <OerHeks> Kwayzu, what type of partition is it? ntfs?
[00:25] <Finetundra>  EriC^^, i gotta reboot the computer
[00:26] <Kwayzu> I think so yes, I can't actually recall.  Its a CIFS share
[00:26] <bodhi_zazen> Kwayzu, vfat and ntfs do not support chown / chmod (unless you mount the ntfs partition with the permissions option
[00:26] <kush42> Thanks church!! I did read about that... however I would need this to check ~ every 10 seconds.  I beleive I read the cron would only allow minimum of 1 minute intervals?
[00:26] <EriC^^> Finetundra: ok
[00:27] <Church> kush42: IIRC in linux crond it's possible to put partial intervals aswell, for example *,*/4,*/2 and alike but have to check about it
[00:28] <kush42> Ok thanks chuch! I will do some reading.  :)
[00:28] <Church> you can also write that "each 10" seconds for 6 times in loop in script and put that once per minute
[00:28] <OerHeks> kush42, cron can't, do a script like this > http://stackoverflow.com/a/9619471  and change 30 to 15
[00:29] <EriC^^> Church: those like */2 (every 2 minutes) but not partials i think
[00:29] <Church> oh. my mistake then
[00:29] <metaldog> easy, back to my bootable usb issue, they all work as ive tried them in virtual machine but they just wont boot up off usb. all i want to do is change os. and i cant be doing with putting xp on the pc to then install unetbootin and do an install from there
[00:30] <kush42> Thanks guys.   This will keep executing the script though?
[00:30] <bb> Hola
[00:30] <bb> hablan espanol?
[00:30] <kush42> I'd like to only execute if one of the process' in there fail.
[00:30] <k1l> metaldog: you can md5sum the usb to be sure that its done right
[00:30] <k1l> !es | bb
[00:31] <metaldog> yes, kll, i do. and they are all right
[00:31] <OerHeks> metaldog, xp on usb ?
[00:31] <bb> Tnk
[00:31] <k1l> metaldog: so what is the issue when booting?
[00:31] <imastupidguest> Oh, I can approach this another day. Thanks fellas  :)
[00:32] <metaldog> nah, i found my old xp disc earlier but i dont fancy going thru all that just to install an os from usb
[00:32] <EriC^^> kush42: if you wanted to use cron you could do something like add 2 commands, 1 with a sleep 30 before it, so they would run every 30 secs
[00:32] <OerHeks> metaldog,  lolz xp on usb is no-go, ask in ##windows
[00:33] <EriC^^> kush42: seems kind of hackish though
[00:33] <k1l> metaldog: so what are we talking about here now?
[00:33] <metaldog> LLI HAVNT GOT XP ON USB,,,,,
[00:33] <bazhang> lose the caps metaldog
[00:34] <daftykins> metaldog: i'm confused, are you the same person from earlier asking how to make up a USB with XP, or?
[00:34]  * OerHeks is waiting for "i have been asking for 3 days"
[00:34] <bazhang> zorin OS iirc
[00:34] <metaldog> look. i have working usb os. i want to install it on here but all i get when i boot from usb is error messages
[00:34] <k1l> metaldog: so what is the issue?
[00:34] <k1l> metaldog: what error messages?
[00:34] <Kwayzu> OerHeks: bodhi_zazen: thank you for your help
[00:35] <Finetundra_> EriC^^ you'll have to give the commands needed again
[00:35] <canadian4663> Hello - I have just upgraded to 14.04 LTS, and I am now getting failures on boot - "Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /home".  /home is a raid/LVM logical block.  I have tried multiple fixes from the web, including the 00_header patch and the more manual hack of changing root volume mount from ro to rw.  any idea how to permanently fix this to make for robust reboot
[00:35] <k1l> metaldog: what iso? did you check iso? what program used? what errors?
[00:35] <metaldog> sorry im being slow but im doing other stuff too
[00:35] <bazhang> k1l, peppermint iso
[00:35] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: no problem, sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[00:35] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[00:35] <k1l> metaldog: we cant know what you are doing there. we need to ask to get a clue what you are doing and where could be something gone wrong
[00:36] <Church> canadian4663: boot from other media, run fsck manually on that filesystem
[00:36] <bazhang> he left
[00:36] <SchrodingersScat> it's over
[00:37] <kandinski> how can I restart the window manager, taskbar and indicators without losing program state on my desktop?
[00:38] <EriC^^> kandinski: setsid unity
[00:38] <kandinski> oh, nice, thanks EriC^^
[00:38] <EriC^^> kandinski: no problem
[00:38] <kandinski> that was awesome
[00:38] <kandinski> man setsid
[00:38] <EriC^^> yeah it's handy
[00:38] <EriC^^> xkill is pretty cool too
[00:39] <kandinski> (oops, obviously wrong window :))
[00:39] <EriC^^> :)
[00:39] <kandinski> so I killed the previous one, started a new one, and it inherited the connections
[00:40] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, http://pastebin.com/2AcEygwt
[00:40] <corax> EriC^^ thanx for the pastebinit comment. Very helpful..it didn't know that one :-)
[00:40] <kandinski> I don't know well how programs interact with the x server, but my actual programs or the X server weren't affected, right? Just the WM/compositor etc
[00:40] <EriC^^> corax: :)
[00:41] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[00:42] <Finetundra_> ok
[00:42] <Jeroen1> I'd get a 502 error after installing my server using nginx. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Cant find it on Google.
[00:42] <Finetundra_> next
[00:42] <EriC^^> for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[00:42] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, ok
[00:43] <EriC^^> kandinski: yes, i think so
[00:43] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: sudo chroot /mnt
[00:44] <SchrodingersScat> Jeroen1: have you seen this? http://www.nginxtips.com/502-bad-gateway-using-nginx/ It was already visited by me when I searched, I think we know the same feel.
[00:44] <Finetundra_> now what
[00:44] <Finetundra_> ?
[00:44] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[00:45] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, and of course it says installing for i386
[00:45] <Finetundra_> what next
[00:45] <EriC^^> that's not a problem
[00:45] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: update-grub
[00:46] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, and now?
[00:46] <EriC^^> did it pick up windows?
[00:46] <Finetundra_> oh, should i go ahead and reboot?
[00:46] <kandinski> EriC^^: I once saw Kasparov play 50 matches at once. That's what you look like right now (this is high praise, in case humour does not travel well).
[00:47] <EriC^^> did it say Found ....windows on /dev/sda..
[00:47] <EriC^^> should be at the bottom
[00:47] <Finetundra_> Found Windows Recovery Environment (loader) on /dev/sda2
[00:47] <Finetundra_> thats it right?
[00:47] <EriC^^> no
[00:48] <EriC^^> i think it's on /dev/sda3
[00:48] <EriC^^> it's 320GB right?
[00:48] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, no it's on the ~80gb . something wierd happened
[00:49] <EriC^^> ok
[00:49] <EriC^^> /dev/sda5
[00:50] <htamayo> Hi guys, I did an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04, now I have several services that are unavailable or need reconfigure, I would like to ask you, is there any way to generate a list with all the services that need attention?
[00:51] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: we can manually add it i think
[00:51] <Finetundra_> EriC^^, if i'm reading it right, /sda2 is the win boot
[00:52] <Finetundra_> or is that wrong?
[00:52] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: looks like a small 300mb ntfs partition
[00:52] <EriC^^> grub called it the recovery partition
[00:53] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: in win8 it uses a small fat32 partition
[00:53] <EriC^^> Finetundra_: try to reboot and try ubuntu and windows
[00:53] <EriC^^> if it doesn't work we can manually add the windows entry
[00:53] <Finetundra_> ok
[00:53] <EriC^^> type exit
[00:53] <EriC^^> then sudo reboot
[00:55] <Finetundra>  EriC^^, looks like all is well.
[00:55] <EriC^^> Finetundra: ubuntu & windows?
[00:55] <Mendax> im always being kicked from the same room for no reason
[00:56] <Mendax> life goes on
[00:56] <Mendax> someone give me suggestions on rooms where u can talk about anything
[00:56] <somsip> !alis | Mendax
[00:56] <Finetundra>  EriC^^, appears to be
[00:56] <EriC^^> Finetundra: great
[00:57] <Mendax> ! alis | MEndax
[00:57] <Mendax> I see it
[00:57] <Mendax> !alis | Mendax
[00:57] <Mendax> what the hell
[00:57] <Mendax> forget it
[00:57] <phat4life> would samba through an ssh tunnel be slow
[00:58] <Finetundra>  EriC^^, well thanks for all that. Really appreciate it
[01:00] <EriC^^> Finetundra: no problem
[01:02] <vince_> What's the best file sharing sync for linux? Dropbox?
[01:03] <SchrodingersScat> vince_: Owncloud can use dropbox as storage ;|
[01:03] <somsip> vince_: cloud or private network?
[01:04] <vince_> Owncloud looks potential , installing thanks
[01:04] <SchrodingersScat> vince_: there's a few options, ranging from proprietary like you mentioned to something a little more free, dropbox/owncloud, btsync/syncthings, csync/rsync, etc.
[01:05] <somsip> vince_: also btsync, syncthing (pulse)
[01:05] <somsip> SchrodingersScat: er...echo...
[01:05] <SchrodingersScat> somsip: echo?
[01:05] <somsip> SchrodingersScat: I just said part of what you said...n'mind
[01:05] <kandinski> syncany is an up-and-comer I like, but it's still alpha. It uses any storage you want.
[01:06] <OerHeks> is there a solid tool that shows powerusage?
[01:06] <k1l> OerHeks: powertop?
[01:07] <OerHeks> k1l, thanks, installing now
[01:08] <OerHeks> No, that does not show any powerusage, just cpu usage
[01:08] <k1l> OerHeks: hmm, i thought that would display total usage. but i cant find that in the version installed
[01:09] <OerHeks> powertop - program to analyze power consumption on Intel-based laptops ( amd here)
[01:10] <k1l> intel here, but could not see it too
[01:13] <k1l> OerHeks: http://askubuntu.com/questions/73904/how-do-i-monitor-power-consumption
[01:13] <k1l> seems like powertop needs some time to collect data first
[01:13] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: radeontop
[01:13] <Chuck_Norris> sudo apt-get install radeontop
[01:13] <OerHeks> sudo powertop still gives no watts, intel only i guess
[01:15] <OerHeks> thanks Chuck_Norris, only message i get is "Can't find Radeon cards"
[01:15] <Chuck_Norris> oh! watts consumption, idk -.-
[01:15] <OerHeks> err radeon is ati
[01:17] <Sith_Lord> ello. why would I get 'ssh: Cound not resolve hostname <IP_ADDRESS>: Name or service not known'
[01:17] <Sith_Lord> im using an IP not a hostname
[01:17] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: well, that tool suport R600 and up, what is your model?
[01:18] <Sith_Lord> s/Cound/Could/
[01:18] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, nvidia GT430
[01:18] <Chuck_Norris> oh! man,  you said "( amd here)" -.-
[01:19] <EriC^^> OerHeks: i read that powertop only shows the consumption if your on battery
[01:19] <OerHeks> yes, powertop can read from intel cpu based systems
[01:19] <EriC^^> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/ReducedPower
[01:19] <OerHeks> i have AMD, Athlon2 x2 3 ghrz
[01:20] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: sry, i misunderstood -.-
[01:20] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, i understand what went wrong, no worries
[01:21] <Footy> Sith_Lord: what is the exact command you are typing?
[01:21] <metrix> I am trying to install ubuntu xen guest on Debian Wheezy host with xen-create image, but i'm not having much luck googling what I need to do.  Any suggestions on how to do this?
[01:21] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: and... sensors? did you try "sensors"?
[01:22] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, sensors gives volts and temp/rpm
[01:23] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: yep, http://i.imgur.com/ZQrIvHh.png
[01:24] <viejotren> I upgraded my ubuntu to 14.04 but I have serveral things that don't work, is there anyway to generate a list of them?
[01:25] <Sith_Lord> @footy: ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:25] <Sith_Lord> using the same command i can access it from other systems
[01:25] <YamakasY> does anyone know how I can bind a ldap server to an ip ?
[01:25] <YamakasY> it's now localhost only
[01:26] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, found that powerstat can, for laptops only :-(
[01:27] <pantato> the shortcut links that i made on my ubuntu show up in the folders when i access my ftp server from a web browser but they don't show up on the filezilla client
[01:27] <manghe> ciao
[01:27] <manghe> !list
[01:28] <Guest90880> hello lf help with file permission
[01:29] <somsip> !permissions | Guest90880
[01:33] <Guest90880> i read that already but cant handle alone; i did change in /etc/init.d/rc file after reading article about "speeding up" ubuntu and changed one value; now system dont start and i want to change it back
[01:34] <somsip> Guest90880: boot to a liveCD/DVD if the system wont start, then change the permissions back. Tell us which file it was if you want to check what the permissions should be
[01:34] <mikr_chrome> If I have to repair my Mbr because of the grub error after deleting the partition it was on can I do that with a bootable usb? Can't do a fresh install on it I need to grab files off the windows partition. Any advice would be appreciated!
[01:35] <somsip> !grub-repair | mikr_chrome
[01:35] <somsip> !grub | mikr_chrome
[01:35] <Guest20404> Hi Guys, this morning I have the boot of a 12.04 stucks after "Stopping set sysctls from /etc/sysctls.conf", do you any clues to debug this?
[01:36] <mikr_chrome> thank you
[01:37] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, i found that when the nvidia driver is installed, nvidia-smi should show watts, but here it does not.
[01:38] <Schumi23> If an ubuntu installation is taking multiple hours, would I be right guessing it's not working?
[01:38] <EriC^^> Schumi23: you can press the text
[01:39] <EriC^^> Schumi23: a box will appear below it saying what the installer is doing
[01:39] <EriC^^> like a terminal
[01:39] <Chuck_Norris> Orphis: i don't know much about nvidia but, what says the terminal when you run it?
[01:39] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: sry
[01:39] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, guess i have to buy me a laptop then :-D
[01:40] <Chuck_Norris> xD why? the grphic cad died?
[01:41] <Schumi23> The box gives a few completes, 3-10, then an error, then 3-10 completes (etc. It is doing stuff. .. but I don't know if it's just looping or something
[01:41] <EriC^^> Schumi23: what's it saying last
[01:41] <junkanoo> Anyone know how to troubleshoot this msg in my /var/log/proftpd logs: Check to see if inetd/xinetd, or another proftpd instance, is already using ::, port 21
[01:41] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, http://picpaste.com/pics/nvidia-smi-scbeLwzI.1415583697.png
[01:42] <Schumi23> Read (28) 00 00 00 00 (and some more 00s) then ata1: EH complete
[01:42] <OerHeks> no, because laptoptools are available
[01:42] <Schumi23> Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 4, and underneath ata1: EH complete
[01:43] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: your graphic card is not supported by that utility i think
[01:43] <daftykins> Schumi23: check SMART info on your hard disk from a live session, sounds like that disk is sad
[01:44] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: or may be upgrading the driver could solve that, idk, but i think to remember that nvidia released just days ago 334 or something like that -.-
[01:45] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: sry:  Latest Long Lived Branch version: 340.58   -   Latest Short Lived Branch version: 343.22
[01:46] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: source:  http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[01:46] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, it is not a big issue, thank you for thinking with me.
[01:46] <Chuck_Norris> but there is Oibaf and xorg-edgers (not supported here :P) that has those driver version -.-
[01:47] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: np
[01:47] <Schumi23> daftykins and in english? (I did not understand that.) - would that be fixed by putting in another hard drive?
[01:48] <daftykins> Schumi23: boot the live session from DVD/USB again, run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"
[01:48] <Schumi23> danke
[01:48] <daftykins> link us to the resulting link that command spits out
[01:48] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: even thogh, i think 430 is supported for nvidia's legacy drivers -.-
[01:48] <Schumi23> what will I be looking for? ok
[01:49] <Schumi23> daftykins  - the laptop was in my broken pile, but I couldn't find the problem, so there probably is a problem.
[01:49] <daftykins> Schumi23: what other tests did you perform on it prior to trying to install an OS?
[01:49] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, nvidia gt430 is a nice card, good supported indeed, i was just wondering what this 49 watt card is using at the moment. maybe because it gets power from mobo, it does not compute?
[01:49] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: yes, 430 is supported by legacy:  http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/77034/en-us
[01:50] <viejotren> window 1
[01:50] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: and latest version is:  304.1230   you are using a wrong driver i think :p
[01:50] <Schumi23> daftykins - there wasn't a hard drive in it. Tests were: See if I could see any damage (no.), turn it on, it went to bios. There wasn't a hard drive in it. So I took a HDD I had laying around, and a USB drive with ubuntu I had laying around and tried to 1+1 and see if I would get 2. (Installed OS.)
[01:50] <OerHeks> 304 in use
[01:51] <Schumi23> daftykins so the problem could either be: Broken install on USB (I doubt it, it live boots well (In the past. It's booting right now.), it could be broken HDD, or broken laptop.
[01:51] <Chuck_Norris> oh! sry, forgot your image -.-
[01:52] <daftykins> Schumi23: oh well we'll see how this goes and if not, you should run memtest from the liveUSB's menu
[01:52] <daftykins> loop that for 3+ passes minimum
[01:55] <Chuck_Norris> OerHeks: lately: dmesg  -.-
[01:55] <Chuck_Norris> just curious
[01:56] <whooopsiee> hello can I get help with ecryptfs here?
[01:57] <whooopsiee> I mean can I ask?
[01:57] <OerHeks> Chuck_Norris, dmesg? does that show powerusage anywere?
[01:57] <Chuck_Norris> no, i don't think so -.- but curious
[01:58] <OerHeks> I cannot find any info, as i expected
[01:58] <Chuck_Norris> np
[01:58] <Schumi23> daftykins so I'm living it, I will  run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then run "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" , then what do you mean by run memtest? On the live install, open memtest and look at it? for 3+ passes?
[02:00] <whooopsiee> I think the ecryptfs password on my hdd was changed when I tried to rescue it with the super grub disk? makes sense?
[02:00] <daftykins> Schumi23: lets take it one step at a time now, i just started a TV episode :) highlight me when you have the pastebin link
[02:00] <Iceland_is_Aweso> hi guys how do I ubuntu?
[02:01] <Iceland_is_Aweso> :( pls halp
[02:01] <EriC^^> Iceland_is_Aweso: the verb ubuntu?
[02:01] <Iceland_is_Aweso> EriC^^: yes
[02:01] <whooopsiee> I am runnning a live system and I can't get my data
[02:01] <Iceland_is_Aweso> whooopsiee: try 'fdisk -l' in a terminal as root and see if you can see your disk.
[02:03] <whooopsiee> the disk is there and ecryptfs finds my wrapped passphrase but it says it's wrong iceland
[02:06] <whooopsiee> is it possible that supergrubdisk changed it or it got damaged because I didn't log out correctly? is that a thing?
[02:09] <h4sh> hey
[02:09] <whooopsiee> hi
[02:16] <lifek> i try running ubuntu 14.04.1 usb live on hp-d007ax (amd a4-5000) and it not working it went blank screen, what need to do have it work?
[02:16] <sarath> Hi, I have a desktop at home and I am running a ubuntu server in virtualbox. Is that the best I can do? I was thinking of flipping it, ubuntu server and windows guest. is it possible without losing any specific capabilities. if you were doing this, which way will you do it?
[02:16] <EriC^^> lifek: try nomodeset
[02:17] <sacarlson> lifek: did you try nomodset
[02:18] <one> i need assistance.i cant start tor in ubuntu
[02:18] <lifek> sacarlson: no, i don't know it
[02:18] <Ben64> !tor | one
[02:19] <sacarlson> !nomodeset
[02:19] <SchrodingersScat> sarath: We don't know how you compute, so would be hard for us to say.  We don't know what capabilities you are talking about.  I do have a windows vm in case I need to see something ridiculous happen.
[02:21] <pantato> I need a new job :P
[02:21] <pantato> QA is boring
[02:22] <lifek> sacarlson: thanks, i'll try nomodeset later today
[02:22] <jeffrey_f> sarath: I've run Linux guest in Windows and Windows guest in Linux - I haven't noticed any missing features.  What you shouldn't expect is that it will work as fast as if it were installed directly on your machine.  Afterall, you WILL BE sharing system resources.
[02:22] <Sachiru> @sarath: Depends on what you do with your computer. Some workloads are best under Windows (i.e. modern games, so technically not a *work*load), the rest are best under any of the *nixes.
[02:23] <Sachiru> Oh, and of course depending on the complexity and capabilities of your layer8 component Windows and/or Linux may be best.
[02:25] <netameta> How can i check if a certain port is blocked - to the outside world ?
[02:25] <SchrodingersScat> !info nmap | netameta
[02:27] <one> i dowloaded tor and giso mount from ubuntu softwher center.i cant find the program.can u asist
[02:28] <cryptodan> netameta: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
[02:28] <sarath> thanks SchrodingersScat, jeffrey_f,sachiru : I dont intend to use windows guest for gaming. but do wnat to keep it around for something that doesnot work in linux. Now, having said that, I dont have the installation disk for windows. What would be the easiest way to get the current installation into a VM image
[02:29] <thejman> Hi. I installed pipelight and now I want to get rid of it.
[02:29] <thejman> How might i do that in terminal?
[02:29] <thejman> I used this to get it: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
[02:29] <xangua> !ppa-purge | thejman
[02:30] <Sachiru> sarath, What do you intend to do, essentially?
[02:30] <Sachiru> Migrate your current Windows installation into a VM?
[02:32] <sarath> sachiru - yes.
[02:35] <Schumi23> daftykins I ran the test, and got this page: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8911243/ .
[02:35] <daftykins> Schumi23: yeah that disk is toast
[02:36] <Schumi23> ok. (What info on it told you that? I'm gonna try with another disk, see if it's better)
[02:36] <daftykins> lines 57 show high raw read error rate and 72 shows 240 sectors are pending reallocation.
[02:36] <Guest818> Does Ubuntu still not have vanilla ffmpeg in it's repositories?
[02:36] <somsip> Guest818: no, it's avconv now
[02:37] <Schumi23> ok, thanks. Trying another disk now.
[02:37] <Guest818> Fuck…
[02:37] <somsip> Guest818: no need for that language...
[02:37] <daftykins> Schumi23: you could also zero fill that disk to see if it recovers it
[02:37] <Guest818> somsip, Is that forbidden here, is that just a matter of respect?
[02:38] <somsip> Guest818: this is a fmaily-friendly channel so users are asked to keep the language appropriate to that
[02:38] <Guest818> Understood.
[02:38] <somsip> Guest818: so...avconv - it's a problem?
[02:38] <rypervenche> Guest818: No, they use libav now.
[02:38] <Guest818> somsip, Not really.
[02:39] <somsip> Guest818: I understand the API is the same as ffmpeg and it's a straight replacement
[02:39] <Guest818> I know there's a ppa for ffmpeg.
[02:39] <KatherineA> hi cL
[02:39] <KatherineA> *c:
[02:39] <Guest818> somsip, Just a matter of preference.
[02:39] <somsip> Guest818: fair enough
[02:40] <sacarlson> Guest818: i just switched to avconv that seems to work just as well as ffmpeg for me
[02:41] <rypervenche> Guest818: You're not the only one who still uses ffmpeg^^
[02:42] <Sachiru> sarath, Are you familiar with KVM/Virt-Manager?
[02:42] <sacarlson> Guest818: ya ffmpeg is fine also, nothing against it at all.  I've been using it for many years without any major problems. so if it's still in ppa as it should be go for it
[02:42] <Sachiru> Because if you have a spare disk and some time, you can DD your current disk to a KVM virtual image and run off that.
[02:44] <one> i try folloing instructions on dowloading and installing tor.when i attemptempt to run a s root.i get permisions denied error.when dowloading from tor link.archive manager will not open tor
[02:44] <Phillies> dont think you need to run tor as root
[02:44] <Phillies> and it should just be apt-get install tor
[02:45] <Phillies> and then download the tor browser bundle and extract it and ./start-tor-broswer or somthhing like that
[02:46] <one> says could not open permission denied
[02:46] <h4sh> hello
[02:47] <Phillies> on which command the apt-get install tor?
[02:47] <Sachiru> sarath, What version of Windows is running on your host?
[02:47] <Phillies> you need root
[02:47] <Phillies> sudo -i
[02:47] <Phillies> or sudo apt-get install tor
[02:48] <one> when it opens it opens to several folders not tor
[02:48] <Phillies> enter root pass
[02:48] <Phillies> when what opens
[02:50] <sarath> sachiru - windows vista
[02:50] <Phillies> one ; https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#using
[02:50] <Phillies> very easy
[02:50] <sarath> just looking at kvm
[02:51] <Sachiru> Vista?
[02:51] <one>  im starting over after typing in terminal apt-get install.it says permission denied .tehn askes am i root
[02:51] <Sachiru> Hmm.
[02:51] <Sachiru> That's... pretty problematic.
[02:51] <Sachiru> Are there any programs that you need on your current system that you do not have the installers and licenses for?
[02:51] <Sachiru> Because IMHO it's better for you just to nuke the Vista install and install Win7 inside the VM.
[02:52] <sarath> i dont have the installer for windows ;)
[02:55] <Schumi23> daftykins paste.ubuntu.com/8911363 This disk looks good to my untrained eye. Is it correct?
[02:55] <daftykins> Schumi23: that's an SSD.
[02:55] <daftykins> one of the worst models ever, no less :)
[02:56] <Sachiru> Then acquire the installer perhaps?
[02:58] <Schumi23> daftykins it's from a 180$ chromebook which broke quickly :) That's to be expected. But should installing work? (Installer just crashed installing onto it, btw)
[02:59] <Schumi23> Error log then told me that it occurs when there's an issure with the disk :)
[02:59] <daftykins> Schumi23: time to run memtest. choose 'test memory' off the menu instead of 'try ubuntu'
[02:59] <Schumi23> daftykins ok
[02:59] <Schumi23> You said at least 3 times, right?
[03:02] <daftykins> Schumi23: correct
[03:03] <jct64> how do you call a directory on a terminal?
[03:04] <jct64> i use cd don't work
[03:04] <jct64> sorry for sounding retarded there]
[03:04] <jct64> i wish ubuntu would have similar commands to dos
[03:04] <EriC^^> jct64: what do you mean? what's it say?
[03:04] <EriC^^> are you using sudo cd ?
[03:04] <jct64> i can't go into a folder. i started up, i'm in my user folder, and i can't go to downloads
[03:05] <EriC^^> jct64: you need to capitalize D
[03:05] <EriC^^> cd Downloads
[03:05] <jct64> sure do.
[03:05] <jeffrey_f> jct64: Case sensitive
[03:05] <jct64> thanks <_R
[03:10] <sacarlson> daftykins:  did you look at Schumi23 smartctl report?   it had over 1.4mil raw_read errors where worst shows should be 79
[03:11] <sacarlson> daftykins: it could be that I just don't know how to read those reports
[03:12] <daftykins> sacarlson: which line?
[03:13] <sacarlson> daftykins: line 57 but since it doesn't show when-failed maybe that's normal
[03:13] <daftykins> sacarlson: also you're referring to the first disk which i already called out as dead.
[03:13] <sacarlson> daftykins: oh ha ha my bad
[03:13] <daftykins> sacarlson: also line 72 had 240 pending sectors :)
[03:19] <scipy53> I'm experiencing a really weird problem with my mozilla applications (thunderbird and firefox). Neither of them "remember" anything anymore. Thunderbird forgot all my e-mail accounts, and even if I add them again, forgets them upon restart. Firefox doesn't store previous sessions/history. Any thoughts? Thanks!
[03:20] <sacarlson> scipy53: maybe your running from a live cd?  they don't have persistance over reboot
[03:21] <scipy53> sacarlson, Nope, I've been running this PC booting the OS from harddrive partition for months now.
[03:21] <scipy53> But that would explain it if it was the case
[03:21] <xangua> scipy53: did you run firefox/thunderbird with sudo?
[03:22] <xangua> *please don't
[03:22] <EriC^^> ^^^ yeah check the permissions
[03:22] <scipy53> umm i just run it from the "start" menu
[03:22] <jeffrey_f> scipy53: Try removing the .mozilla and .thunderbird folders.  Possibly a corruption of the databases?
[03:22] <scipy53> how can i check permissions, i think it does have something to do with that as ive had to start running some of my apps as sudo suddenly
[03:23] <sacarlson> scipy53: touch a file in your home and reboot and see if it's still there.  or just cd ; ls -l  and see if there are any files with modified dates since before your last reboot
[03:23] <scipy53> jeffrey_f, Would I lose my bookmarks? I guess I'll back those up
[03:23] <jeffrey_f> scipy53: Try the permissions first.  Otherwise, drop the folders, they will recreate on app start
[03:24] <EriC^^> scipy53: you can find all directories not owned by yourself by running find ~ -type d ! -user $USER
[03:24] <sacarlson> scipy53: oh ya that must be it, the permissions set on those apps data , skip my idea
[03:24] <scipy53> sacarlson, Tried the ls -l, nothing unusual
[03:24] <EriC^^> * sudo find ~ -type d ! -user $USER
[03:24] <scipy53> Wait sorry so what should I do with regards to permissions?
[03:25] <scipy53> Thanks in advance fellas, much appreciated
[03:26] <scipy53> oh wow so i know its something related to permissions, i ran the apps as sudo and everything is back
[03:26] <EriC^^> scipy53: you can try the command above to get a list of the directories not owned by your user
[03:26] <scipy53> oh ok
[03:26] <scipy53> well on firefox at least
[03:26] <EriC^^> scipy53: don't run them as sudo, if you need to run anything gui with privileges use gksu
[03:26] <nomadpenguin> Hey, my friend is having a problem where random "t"s get inserted when she tries to type stuff in firefox. She's running ubuntu 14.10 on an alienware 14. Any ideas what's going on?
[03:27] <jeffrey_f> nomadpenguin: Keyboard problem?
[03:27] <scipy53> EriC^^, Ok ran that command, I see a lot of folders
[03:27] <EriC^^> scipy53: ok if you want you can just
[03:27] <scipy53> Including mozilla firefox cache
[03:28] <nomadpenguin> jeffrey_f: She's tried an external keyboard, and it does the same. It also messes up in gedit.
[03:28] <Schumi23> daftykins , there wasn't something called memtest, but there was a thing "Check disc for defects" = and it said it found 3 in the end.
[03:28] <scipy53> and thunderbird folder
[03:28] <Schumi23> I'm not sure what tha tmeans
[03:28] <EriC^^> * sudo find ~ -type d ! -user $USER -exec sudo chown $USER: '{}' \;
[03:28] <Schumi23> You mentioend something about 0ing it, what doess that entail?
[03:28] <jeffrey_f> nomadpenguin: An external keyboard doesn't disable the laptop's keyboard.
[03:28] <daftykins> Schumi23: oh so your flash drive isn't good. there should've been 'test memory' though
[03:29] <nomadpenguin> jeffrey_f: So how would you disable the laptop keyboard to check?
[03:29] <EriC^^> scipy53: or just sudo chown <your user>: -R /home/<your user>
[03:29] <scipy53> EriC^^, Sweet, ran command, re-ran previous one, looks like im root for all now
[03:29] <sacarlson> nomadpenguin: just the leter "t" ?   is it only in that application firefox?  maybe stuck key on keyboard hardware if seen in other apps
[03:29] <Schumi23> daftykins so reinstall ubuntu onto the flash drive? Ok
[03:29] <daftykins> it's not installing, but yes
[03:29] <EriC^^> scipy53: the chown command would be better as it'd get any files that aren't owned by you as well
[03:30] <Schumi23> daftykins if I follow http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows it should be good, right?
[03:30] <daftykins> Schumi23: if you're creating from windows you need to check your download first
[03:30] <daftykins> !md5 | Schumi23
[03:30] <nomadpenguin> sacarlson: Yeah, only "t". And it's working fine in steam chat.
[03:30] <Schumi23> daftykins thanks
[03:30] <jeffrey_f> nomadpenguin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1663298   <---disable laptop keyboard.  Read the thread, early in, says the keyboard is re-enabled on reboot.  Ignore the permanent disabling.
[03:31] <scipy53> EriC^^, Looks like that did the trick!
[03:32] <scipy53> Thanks guys, you're the best
[03:32] <sacarlson> nomadpenguin: Jeffrey oh it has an added external keyboard so 2 keyboards?
[03:33] <Schumi23> daftykins I need to wake at 6am tomorrow so I'm gonna quit for the evening, but thanks for your help
[03:33] <nomadpenguin> sacarlson: No, not usually, she just did that to check if it was a broken keyboard
[03:33] <jeffrey_f> sacarlson: yeah, the external keyboard doesn't disable the main keyboard......thinking stuck/worn key
[03:33] <nomadpenguin> jeffrey_f: If it's a hardware problem, how come steam chat works fine?
[03:33] <ax562> how can I get my display setting to stick on every reboot?
[03:34] <ax562> running 12.04lts 64bit
[03:34] <sacarlson> nomadpenguin: Jeffrey ya that sounds right so the bad stuck key on the laptop would still cause problems,  so try that link and disable the internal keyboard to verifty that it's not hardware
[03:34] <ax562> when I restart my pc I have to change display settings every time.
[03:34] <daftykins> Schumi23: no problemo, cya o/
[03:34] <ax562> running off a laptop and lcd display
[03:34] <jeffrey_f> nomadpenguin: Suggesting to rule out a software issue.  The problem being is the main kb is still active with a secondary keyboard attached
[03:34] <ax562> but don't want to use the laptop screep only lcd disply
[03:35] <ax562> I'm able to do it but it will not stick if I reboot.
[03:35] <jeffrey_f> nomadpenguin: if the main keyboard is disabled and the problem goes away, you have your answer........if not, then there is another problem.  rule out possibles
[03:36] <nomadpenguin> :jeffrey_f: She hasn't tried that, but the keyboard works fine when booted into Windows
[03:36] <EriC^^> ax562: you can turn the screen off if you want
[03:37] <ax562> I have my laptop screen off and my external lcd on.  It works but I have to change everytime I reboot.
[03:37] <ax562> will not keep settings
[03:38] <sacarlson> Jeffrey you might also try create a new user account and see if it still happen when loged into the new one,  but  I think it's hardware
[03:38] <sacarlson> opps jeffrey_f
[03:39] <EriC^^> ax562: not sure if this would turn both off
[03:39] <jeffrey_f> sacarlson: another possibility
[03:39] <EriC^^> xset dpms force off , don't type it yet though
[03:39] <EriC^^> type xset dpms force on
[03:40] <EriC^^> then off, in case both turn off, press the up arrow twice to run the on command again
[03:40] <nomadpenguin> scarlson: It shouldn't be hardware, since it works fine on windows, and certain applications are fine
[03:40] <EriC^^> nevermind
[03:42] <EriC^^> ax562: maybe use xrandr to turn it off?
[03:42] <EriC^^> ax562: and add that to the startup apps
[03:42] <ax562> What I want works.  Only my external lcd on and my laptop display off.
[03:42] <sacarlson> nomadpenguin: ya so maybe some added plugin gone wild,  so the new user will have no added plugins so should run ok if that's the case
[03:43] <ax562> THe problem is it will not survive after reboot.
[03:43] <EriC^^> ax562: you can add the command to the startup apps
[03:43] <EriC^^> ax562: you're turning it off from settings > display?
[03:43] <ax562> using nvidia xserver setting to control
[03:43] <EriC^^> ax562: is there a command you can run from the terminal?
[03:43] <ax562> not sure?
[03:43] <ax562> i use gui
[03:45] <EriC^^> ax562: type xrandr | awk '$2 ~ /^connected/'
[03:45] <EriC^^> and paste it here
[03:46] <ax562> VGA-0 connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 443mm x 249mm
[03:46] <ax562> LVDS-0 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
[03:46] <liuxg> EriC^^, good morning to you!
[03:47] <EriC^^> ok try xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[03:47] <EriC^^> see if it turns off
[03:47] <EriC^^> liuxg: thanks, you too!
[03:47] <EriC^^> liuxg: how's it going?
[03:48] <Geo> Hi, how would I go about changing the default syn_recv timeout?
[03:48] <liuxg> EriC^^, I still failed to create the bootable USB disk. I also referred to a video here at http://www.fernhilllinuxproject.com/guidesandhowtos/installubuntutousbdrive.html. I do not what could be the problem for it
[03:48] <ax562> did it nothing happened
[03:48] <ax562> EriC^^
[03:50] <m4573rm1nd> anyone have any idea how to get frootvpn working on xubuntu
[03:52] <EriC^^> ax562: is the screen already off?
[03:53] <ax562> yes
[03:53] <EriC^^> well, turn it on
[03:53] <EriC^^> and try the command again
[03:53] <sacarlson> Geo might you have more than 1 connection to wan maybe a load balancer?
[03:53] <ax562> but it will not stick after I reboot
[03:53] <EriC^^> ax562: you'll add the command to the startup apps so it runs when you login
[03:54] <ax562> EriC^^ my settings now are how I want them.  laptop screen off external lcd screen on.
[03:54] <EriC^^> ok so take a picture of the setup
[03:55] <ax562> which command?  This "xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off"?  Where to?
[03:55] <ax562> take a picture?
[03:56] <EriC^^> ax562: open the dash and type startup
[03:56] <nomadpenguin> Well she's seems to be afk now, so I have no idea if switching users helped. Thanks jeffrey_f and sacarlson !
[03:56] <EriC^^> ax562: click on add, then type the command
[03:57] <ax562> running xubuntu.  not sure if I have dash
[03:58] <Demon_Jester> on xubuntu 14.04 can I have all audio direct through my headset instead of it manually doing for each individual one? do I disable my speaker and it will force it through my headset?
[03:58] <EriC^^> ax562: try gnome-session-properties in a terminal
[03:58] <EriC^^> ax562: if nothing runs, check your home dir for an autostart directory
[03:59] <ax562> it worked
[03:59] <EriC^^> ax562: ok
[03:59] <jeffrey_f> nomadpenguin: No prob
[03:59] <ax562> funny thing is nvidia xserver is present
[04:00] <ax562> let me try a reboot
[04:01] <ax562> brb
[04:01] <EriC^^> ok
[04:06] <ax562> EriC^^ didn't work
[04:06] <EriC^^> ax562: ok is the screen still on?
[04:06] <EriC^^> try xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:07] <ax562> in terminal?
[04:07] <EriC^^> yes
[04:07] <ax562> didn't do anything. but laptop screen is already off.
[04:07] <ax562> i turned off manually
[04:07] <EriC^^> why?
[04:07] <ax562> because I do it everytime i login
[04:08] <ax562> should I reboot?
[04:08] <EriC^^> turn it on if possible
[04:08] <ax562> how?
[04:08] <ax562> it's laptop display
[04:09] <EriC^^> how did you turn it off?
[04:10] <ax562> done
[04:10] <EriC^^> ok
[04:10] <EriC^^> try xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:10] <ax562> that actuall works
[04:10] <ax562> xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:10] <EriC^^> ok
[04:10] <ax562> turned it off
[04:10] <uberdub> sup?
[04:11] <uberdub> 14.04 or 14.1...that is the question
[04:11] <EriC^^> ax562: when you added it to the startup apps
[04:11] <EriC^^> ax562: did you add it to the program name or the command?
[04:12] <jeffrey_f> uberdub: Long Term Support (5 yrs) with no bleeding edge software, or 14.10 - Most recent releases, some could be buggy.
[04:12] <uberdub> i know, i cant decide
[04:12] <DrManhattan> I am quite impressed with 14.04. 12.04 was solid too.
[04:13] <uberdub> stability is always nice
[04:13] <uberdub> fo sho
[04:13] <julio> Oo
[04:13] <jeffrey_f> uberdub: stable or can you deal with some bugs now and again???
[04:13] <uberdub> latest kde?
[04:14] <uberdub> i can....question is if its worth it for the latest and greatest bells and whistles
[04:14] <ax562> EriC^^ I added a command and named it laptop display off
[04:15] <EriC^^> ax562: ok
[04:15] <EriC^^> ax562: if you want you can add the command to ~/.profile
[04:15] <jeffrey_f> uberdub: You can always re-install if things get out of control
[04:15] <ax562> would heirarchy matter?
[04:16] <EriC^^> ax562: add it to the end
[04:16] <ax562> i just renamed it zlaptop display off
[04:16] <ax562> so it's at the bootom of the list
[04:16] <EriC^^> ax562: don't think so
[04:16] <ax562> it was before nvidia
[04:16] <EriC^^> you can check what the nvidia command does
[04:16] <ax562> should i remove it or leave it in gnome properties?
[04:16] <EriC^^> by pressing edit
[04:17] <ax562> sh -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only'
[04:17] <ganja> i just run ubuntu touch on my galaxy nexus,but it's old version! has anyone know where can find the new version?
[04:17] <ax562> that's what it says
[04:17] <ax562> nvidia
[04:17] <EriC^^> ax562: no idea what that does
[04:17] <EriC^^> you could test it in the terminal to see if it turns the screens on
[04:18] <EriC^^> ax562: i think you have to add the command to ~/.profile to get it to work though
[04:18] <ax562> didn't do anyhthing
[04:18] <daftykins> !touch | ganja
[04:18] <EriC^^> ax562: type gedit ~/.profile
[04:18] <ax562> where is ~/.profile?
[04:18] <EriC^^> and add it at the end
[04:19] <EriC^^> ax562: you can remove the command from the startup apps
[04:19] <ganja> ok thank u
[04:19] <lagbox> hello again
[04:20] <ax562> ok added to the end of /.profile and removed from startup
[04:20] <EriC^^> ax562: it's in your home dir, it's a hidden file so you need ctrl+h to see it
[04:20] <ax562> should I restart?
[04:20] <EriC^^> ax562: yeah
[04:20] <ax562> yeah i didn't see it
[04:20] <ax562> I have hidden files enabled as well
[04:20] <ax562> but gedit opened it
[04:21] <EriC^^> ok
[04:21] <ax562> Is this all I add though xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:21] <ax562> then save?
[04:21] <EriC^^> yup
[04:21] <ax562> ok
[04:22] <ax562> reboot brb
[04:22] <usr13_> axisys: To be sure, it is ~/.profile (not /.profile)
[04:23] <usr13_> ax562 not axisys Sorry
[04:26] <ax562> didn't work :(
[04:26] <usr13_> ax562: To be sure, it is ~/.profile (not /.profile)
[04:26] <EriC^^> ax562: that's odd
[04:26] <ax562> gedit ~/.profile
[04:26] <ax562> is what I ran
[04:27] <usr13_> ax562: Ok, good.
[04:27] <ax562> xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:27] <ax562> is appended
[04:27] <usr13_> ax562: EriC^^ What is the problem we are trying to solve?  (I'm late to the conversation.)
[04:27] <ax562> and xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off does work if I run manually
[04:28] <ax562> weird
[04:28] <ax562> just tried it right now
[04:28] <EriC^^> usr13_: he wants to turn off his display when the pc boots
[04:28] <ax562> laptop display
[04:28] <lagbox> so i had my system working with the radeon driver, which took making an xorg.conf file, for 2 weeks after upgrading and now again it wont boot without nomodeset .. any ideas ? 14.10
[04:28] <ax562> I have 2 displays laptop and external lcd
[04:28] <EriC^^> ( he's using another display )
[04:28] <usr13_> EriC^^: ax562 Well, I suppose just a user's startup script would do it.
[04:28] <ax562> but only want one on (external)
[04:29] <ax562> xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:29] <ax562> ^this works
[04:29] <EriC^^> ax562: you could try to add a sleep before the command
[04:29] <ax562> but doesn't work at boot from ~/.profile
[04:29] <EriC^^> ax562: like sleep 5
[04:29] <Chuck_Norris> mmmm... and if ax562 add the command line to /etc/rc.local ?  -.-
[04:29] <EriC^^> then the command below it
[04:30] <usr13_> ax562: What Chuck_Norris But it needs to be run as user.  Right?
[04:30] <Chuck_Norris> that could work too, sleep
[04:30] <ax562> let me try sleep first
[04:30] <ax562> brb
[04:30] <ax562> would sudo matter?
[04:30] <ax562> when running gedit ~/.profile?
[04:30] <usr13_> ax562: You do it as user. Right?
[04:31] <usr13_> ax562: No, it needs to be done as user.  Right?
[04:31] <ax562> yes I have not typed sudo
[04:31] <EriC^^> i like the rc.local idea
[04:31] <EriC^^> cause it won't run every time you use an interactive shell
[04:32] <EriC^^> login shell
[04:32] <ax562> so sleep or rc.local?
[04:32] <usr13_> ax562: That is why it did not work.  You now need to chown it back to user
[04:32] <EriC^^> usr13_: no need for sudo
[04:32] <ax562> i never used sudo
[04:32] <usr13_> EriC^^: Correct
[04:33] <usr13_> ax562: ls -l ~/.profile  #Who owns it?
[04:33] <EriC^^> usr13_: obviously him cause he was able to save it with gedit
[04:34] <ax562> -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 858 Nov  9 20:21 /home/user/.profile
[04:34] <EriC^^> ax562: try the rc.local
[04:34] <EriC^^> ax562: if it doesn't work give sleep a shot
[04:34] <ax562> what do i do to /etc/rc.local?
[04:34] <EriC^^> ax562: you'll need to run gksu gedit /etc/rc.local
[04:35] <usr13_> EriC^^: But if he puts it in /etc/rc.local, it will be run as root.
[04:35] <EriC^^> ax562: add it before the exit 0 in rc.local
[04:35] <EriC^^> usr13_: no biggie
[04:35] <usr13_> Ok
[04:35] <ax562> put this in rc.local "xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off"?
[04:36] <EriC^^> yes
[04:36] <EriC^^> before exit 0
[04:36] <ax562> brb reboot
[04:42] <ax562> didn't work
[04:42] <usr13_> ax562: Is  your user name actually "user"?
[04:43] <usr13_> ax562: I did not expect it to work, the command needs to be executed as user.    I lose the time label and all of the right side of the taskbar
[04:43] <usr13_> ax562: You ran the command and it worked.  Right? (You ran it as user. Right?)
[04:43] <ax562> yes
[04:43] <ax562> if i run xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:44] <ax562> it works the my taskbar is cut off
[04:44] <ax562> right side is missing
[04:44] <usr13_> Is the user name really "user"?
[04:44] <ax562> yes
[04:44] <usr13_> Ok.
[04:44] <usr13_> What DE are you using?
[04:45] <ax562> DE?
[04:45] <usr13_> ax562: unity, xfce, kde ....???
[04:45] <ax562> xfce
[04:45] <EriC^^> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM
[04:45] <EriC^^> lovely
[04:45] <usr13_> ax562: Ok here is what you need to do.
[04:46] <usr13_> ax562: ... just a sec...
[04:46] <EriC^^> you can add commands that run when lightdm starts
[04:46] <ax562> the only way it works correctly if I manually go into nvidia setting and disable the laptop display
[04:49] <usr13_> ax562: cat > ~/bin/kill-display
[04:49] <usr13_> ax562: xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:49] <usr13_> ax562: Ctrl-d
[04:50] <usr13_> ax562: chmod +x ~/bin/kill-display
[04:50] <ax562> cat > doesn't work
[04:51] <usr13_> ax562: What error do you get?
[04:51] <ax562> cat > ~/bin/kill-display"
[04:51] <ax562> doesn't work
[04:51] <ax562> nothing
[04:51] <usr13_> ax562: Yes it does,  on the next line just type the command:
[04:51] <ax562> blinking cursor
[04:51] <Chuck_Norris> oh! gosh... dat tip, well, tip of da day brought to you by "chuck norris":  shopt -s cdspell     -     then try:  cd $HOME/pictures    -.-
[04:51] <usr13_> xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:51] <ska> How do I get to "reverse vnc" in the 14.04 GUI??????
[04:51] <usr13_> ax562: cat > ~/bin/kill-display
[04:52] <usr13_> ax562: cd && cat > bin/kill-display
[04:52] <usr13_> ax562: chmod +x ~/bin/kill-display
[04:53] <ska> How do I get to "reverse vnc" in the 14.04 GUI??????
[04:53] <usr13_> ax562: Are you with me?
[04:53] <ax562> i ran "cat > ~/bin/kill-display"
[04:53] <ax562> xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off
[04:53] <ax562>  Ctrl-d
[04:53] <ax562> chmod +x ~/bin/kill-display
[04:53] <ax562> looks to have worked
[04:53] <ax562> am I ok?
[04:53] <usr13_> ax562: by Ctrl-d I mean to hold down the Ctrl key and hit the key d
[04:54] <ax562> i did
[04:54] <usr13_> ax562: Sorry... do you get it?
[04:54] <ax562> yes
[04:54] <ax562> it looks to have worked
[04:54] <usr13_> ok then: chmod +x ~/bin/kill-display
[04:54] <ax562> i did
[04:55] <usr13_> Now go to System -> Sessions and Startup and click Aplication Autostart
[04:55] <usr13_> ax562: Click +Add
[04:55] <ax562> i don't have sessions and startup
[04:56] <usr13_> ax562: Sure you do...
[04:56] <usr13_> ax562: In the applications menu do you see Settings?
[04:56] <ax562> check pm
[04:58] <ska> How do I get to "reverse vnc" in the 14.04 GUI??????
[05:02] <OerHeks> !info gitso
[05:02] <OerHeks> ska if you can read german, http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Gitso as the english wiki is out of date
[05:03] <usr13_> ska: What is reverse vnc?
[05:03] <OerHeks> usr13_, for getting help tru a blocked router
[05:04] <OerHeks> help seeker cannot open firewallports, to accept a vnc connection
[05:05] <ax562> didn't work ugh.
[05:05] <fling> What is the name of the movie about something like stargates with rotating circles?
[05:05] <OerHeks> fling how is that related to ubuntu support?
[05:06] <fling> OerHeks: sorry!
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[05:06] <OerHeks> hi lotus
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: hi, early bird :p
[05:06] <OerHeks> you are 6 minutes late :P
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> lol
[05:07] <usr13_> ax562: Really?  but yet it works if you type it in a terminal window?
[05:07] <usr13_> ax562: cat ~/bin/kill-display  #Does it say what you think it does?
[05:07] <ax562> yeah but it doesn't work properly through terminal
[05:07] <ax562> I think my resolution is off
[05:08] <usr13_> ax562:  Whell what should it be?
[05:08] <ax562> the only way it works 100% is disabling display through nvidia settings
[05:08] <ax562> *NVIDIA X Server Settings
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> how can i make a .deb out of sux (version that is not supported anymore by trusty)?
[05:09] <Chuck_Norris> ax562: add:   #!/bin/sh   in the start of kill-display
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> !info sux precise
[05:09] <ax562> ok
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> i tryed apt-get download sux but didnt find package
[05:10] <Chuck_Norris> then below  #!/bin/sh  put the command
[05:10] <usr13_> ax562: On a line by itself, (the first line).
[05:10] <OerHeks> lotuspsychje, maybe this is a solution? http://askubuntu.com/a/462848
[05:11] <usr13_> Chuck_Norris: May need to sleep for a few seconds first... I dono
[05:11] <ax562> but like I said "xrandr --output LVDS-0 --off" doesn't really work.  The laptop display is off but it's like it still recognizes it because I can move pointer off of ext lcd screen and resolution is probably off.  lost my clock from taskbar
[05:11] <usr13_> ax562: xrandr | pastebinit
[05:12] <Chuck_Norris> usr13_: may be yes, idk
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: tnx, but sux is the best tool for my needs, other solutions like gksudo doesnt do what i want
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: i also have sux installed, can i rip a .deb from my existing installed version?
[05:13] <ax562> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8913079/
[05:13] <OerHeks> lotuspsychje, not sure that will work, let us know if it does :-)
[05:13] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: or if i can find a way to apt-get download from precise repos?
[05:14] <RustyShackleford> anyone else using chrome (not chromium)?
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> RustyShackleford: ask your issue mate
[05:14] <RustyShackleford> are you experiencing frequent crashing?
[05:14] <RustyShackleford> lotuspsychje, be patient haha
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> RustyShackleford: did you try start from terminal to see errors
[05:15] <RustyShackleford> i did not, but thats a great idea
[05:15] <usr13_> ax562:  not sure what you're saying....
[05:15] <OerHeks> lotuspsychje, you might want to build it yourself? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sux/
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> RustyShackleford: is it random crash, or just when playing video's?
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: lemme check
[05:16] <usr13_> ax562:  Is the screen size not correct for TV-0 ?
[05:16] <RustyShackleford> lotuspsychje, seems to be random. Its not really that frequent. Once a day or so
[05:16] <RustyShackleford> ubuntu says it crashes, but its not the whole program. I think perhaps just one tab
[05:16] <ax562> vga 0 is my external lcd
[05:16] <RustyShackleford> i don't notice any problems, but ubuntu reports them to me
[05:17] <ax562> lvds-0 is my laptop display
[05:17] <usr13_> ax562: Ok. So is VGA-0 not correct screen size?
[05:18] <usr13_> ax562: (What else needs to be done?  Are we killing LVDS-0 with the command we used in Autostart?)
[05:18] <suzanne> hello
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: thank you! found the .deb here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/57797582/sux_1.0.1-6_all.deb
[05:18] <ax562> not sure but when I run "xrandr --output lvds-0 --off" the laptop display turns off but my vga 0 doesn't adjust to change
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: hello
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> RustyShackleford: try from terminal :p
[05:19] <usr13_> ax562: What does it need to be?  1600x900 ?
[05:19] <ax562> usr13_: the goal is to kill lvds-o and vga 0 adjust to the kill
[05:19] <RustyShackleford> lotuspsychje, will do, thanks for the idea
[05:19] <ax562> yes
[05:19] <RustyShackleford> one other thing: I'm running 14.04 and I want to upgrade eventually
[05:19] <ax562> I'm not sure if the resolution is an issue
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: im making a collection of my favorite packages with apt-get download package
[05:19] <RustyShackleford> i don't think i've ever performed the upgrade. I just clean install
[05:19] <RustyShackleford> what do you think?
[05:19] <usr13_> ax562: Ok.  Add another line to /home/user/bin/kill-display
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> RustyShackleford: stick to 14.04 its rocksolid
[05:20] <RustyShackleford> i could do that too. I suppose there isn't anything that I want a newer version of
[05:20] <ax562> it does look like 1600 x 900 but my taskbar is cut off and I'm able to move my mouse off screen to new screen
[05:20] <usr13_> xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x900
[05:20] <RustyShackleford> i'd like to see what they've improved though, if anything
[05:20] <lotuspsychje> RustyShackleford: 14.10 still has issues with grafix
[05:20] <ax562> ok
[05:21] <RustyShackleford> lotuspsychje, i have terrible luck with my graphics card so maybe I'll wait
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> RustyShackleford: of course it depends on your machine
[05:21] <RustyShackleford> this version of ATI catalyst works just fine. Better not mess with it haha
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> RustyShackleford: enjoy trusty a bit, its supported to 2019 :p
[05:21] <ax562> ~/bin/kill-display
[05:21] <ax562> xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x900
[05:21] <ax562> then?
[05:21] <suzanne> i am having issues with my comeputer, i can use other profiles but the main one that is used alot,does not work after some commands, like remove *desktops and a reboot
[05:22] <usr13_> ax562:  No, needs to be on line by itself.
[05:22] <suzanne> login issue*
[05:22] <usr13_> ax562: See my pm.
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: ubuntu version?
[05:24] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  14.04
[05:24] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: so you can login to other users, but not your main account?
[05:26] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  yes, which is the main admin account
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: what happens after login exactly?
[05:26] <mblah01> anyone know how to force ubuntu 14.04 to only use internet when vpn is enabled
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> mblah01: you using openvpn?
[05:28] <mblah01> no pptn
[05:28] <mblah01> ive set the wired connection to automatically connect to vpn but if the vpn drops out it doesnt seem to do what i want
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> !vpn | mblah01
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> mblah01: maybe the #openvpn guys might be able to help also
[05:30] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  http://pastebin.com/1sNTM0K1  this is the commands [some]
[05:31] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: can you tell us what you are trying to do exactly?
[05:31] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: did you try lubuntu-desktop and trying to remove now?
[05:31] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  what happens is what i go to the main account it flashes text you can barely ready then fail, then redircet me back to the login screen
[05:33] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  i was trying out desktops weeks ago, but i wanted to clean* up my computer,so i this was the atempt
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: your main version was ubuntu desktop?
[05:34] <suzanne> yes, i was trying to reinstall the default lotuspsychje
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: purge desktops can be tricky sometimes and remove things you might still need
[05:34] <Ben64> yeah, don't purge
[05:35] <suzanne> so i should not have purged ?
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: i would reinstall ubuntu desktop 14.04 fresh
[05:35] <suzanne> -.-... no
[05:35] <suzanne> :P
[05:35] <Ben64> and you should not use "startx"
[05:36] <Ben64> you can try installing the ubuntu-desktop package and see if that works for you
[05:36] <suzanne> *reinstalling lubuntu-desktop
[05:37] <suzanne> *reinstalling ubuntu-desktop
[05:37] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: dont forget to backup data, if things go wrong :p
[05:38] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  Ben64 got to relog to try it,as i am using the same pc i am talking about.
[05:38] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  i live my the dangerous side.
[05:38] <Ben64> suzanne: ok
[05:38] <Ben64> don't purge stuff unless you know exactly what it will do
[05:39] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: its good to experiment, to experience what can happen
[05:39] <suzanne> XD no backups cuase of not much room/ no setup to do so
[05:39] <usr13_> ax562: So, did you try the commands from a terminal?
[05:39] <usr13_> ax562: Or what?
[05:39] <ax562> trying now
[05:39] <usr13_> ok
[05:39] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  well all my "catz" videos and pic are going to be gone if i mess up :P
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: there is photorec to recover data if you want
[05:41] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  lol thanks ify it was a joke...
[05:41] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: i know :p
[05:43] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: maybe Ben64's solution will fix your main login again
[05:44] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  well i guessed i missed tht. what was it again ?
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: to download ubuntu-desktop again
[05:48] <suzanne> oh well i already did
[05:48] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  please check your pm
[05:53] <evi1m0cha> freenode
[05:57] <suzanne> back
[05:57] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: did it work?
[05:58] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  ben64 its the same result. not working, on the  strange note. i can use the same pc{im using it to chat your you] to login to another account
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: you can try grub recoverymode and 'fix broken packages'
[06:00] <Ben64> suzanne: so just your user is broken?
[06:02] <suzanne> ben64 i guess you can say that. i have never even deal with this/hear of this problem before
[06:02] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  ok im off
[06:02] <suzanne> brb
[06:07] <Hecter> http://askubuntu.com/questions/109404/how-do-i-install-latest-php-in-supported-ubuntu-versions-like-5-4-x-in-ubuntu-1
[06:07] <Hecter> quoting For Ubuntu 12.10
[06:07] <Hecter> Ubuntu 12.10's official repository is updated to PHP 5.4. You should use the main repository package if you can. To do this, just install PHP5Install php5 without enabling any PPA.
[06:07] <Hecter> "You should use the main repository package if you can"
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> !12.10 | Hecter
[06:09] <Hecter> lotuspsychje: Hi, but i think my client doesnt want me to upgrade 14.04, he just want me to upgrade php version to 5.4
[06:09] <lotuspsychje> !info php trusty
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> !php | Hecter
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> !info php5-cli trusty | Hecter
[06:15] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  Ben64  still does not work, but i got a little bit of a differnet response.
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> suzanne: meaning?
[06:16] <daftykins> suzanne: well don't leave them in suspense!
[06:19] <suzanne> daftykins,  XD
[06:21] <Hecter> lotuspsychje: the links were to upgrade to 5.5, but i just need 5.3.3 from 5.3.10 , this is to simulate the live server.
[06:21] <suzanne> lotuspsychje,  so the txt was shorter this time when it flashed, then i tried again to login and  then nothing, maybe some text that takes most of the screen. the same ones that you see in the older days[still still at times] when you boot in/up
[06:22] <suzanne> is it dead  today?? is is it cause its a monday....
[06:22] <suzanne> or is it going to be a monday*
[06:22] <suzanne> hi yall
[06:23] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: don't tell me you're still here working saving the elementons? you helpd me earlier download the pybookreader, and i thought everything installed allright, but i can't get it to launch any way :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1140053
[06:23] <OerHeks> Hecter, bad idea, your "client" is vulnerable for heartbleed and other leaks that are not patched
[06:24] <OerHeks> mikubuntu, what errors do you get when you start it in terminal?
[06:24] <OerHeks> use paste.ubuntu.com for multiple lines
[06:25] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: No command 'pybr' found, did you mean:  Command 'pytr' from package 'pytrainer' (universe)
[06:26] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: i'm pretty sure all i had to input was pybr in an earlier installation i had two years ago on another laptop
[06:26] <OerHeks> mikubuntu, that package was from 2009, looks like dependencies are gone
[06:27] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: u mean the one i have now, or the previous one?
[06:28] <OerHeks> mikubuntu, i use calibre for ebooks, great app
[06:28] <OerHeks> i am not sure it can be fixed
[06:28] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: i use pybr as a teleprompter, does calibre offer the same function?
[06:31] <OerHeks> mikubuntu, no, i don't think so
[06:32] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: :( i haven't found any other open source app that offers the teleprompter functionality
[06:34] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: i have this great idea for an app called Elementon. it does anything you want it to. lol.
[06:36] <slixpk> I made a service file and placed it in /etc/init/chatscreen.conf. But "service chatscreen" outputs "chatscreen: unrecognized service". Am I doing something wrong?
[06:37] <OerHeks> mikubuntu, i cannot find teleprompter/autocue software too
[06:38] <mydopey> OerHeks: ask
[06:39] <cryptodan> slixpk: what are you trying to do?
[06:39] <daftykins> create a custom service, it's pretty obvious ^
[06:40] <slixpk> cryptodan: I'm trying to make a service that spawns a screen session running weechat on boot on another user. And it should restart itself.
[06:40] <cryptodan> slixpk: put that in their bashrc file
[06:40] <Hecter> OerHeks: ran an upgrade, even apache was upgraded, and files are now in /var/www/html, not in /var/www
vhosts are showing all the splash page :D
any advise to fast fix this?
[06:41] <mydopey> Hecter: good
[06:41] <OerHeks> Hecter, 12.10 is no longer supported.
[06:42] <slixpk> cryptodan: The service needs to run before the user connects. The point is to have a persistent IRC client that is always connected, even if the user is not ssh'ed in at that time.
[06:42] <cryptodan> slixpk: get a bouncer or use irccloud.net
[06:44] <slixpk> cryptodan: This service will also run all of my IM networks with bitlbee, and neither a bouncer or irccloud solve that. I'm planning on having my laptop constantly have a mosh open to this screen, although it's possible that this screen+mosh+weechat solution is too complex and I should reconsider.
[06:44] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: i found this promptcast app, could u help me install for testing?
[06:44] <cryptodan> slixpk: its impossible
[06:45] <mydopey> Sick
[06:45] <cryptodan> slixpk: and irccloud.net will solve it as it will always be connected regardless of where you are.
[06:46] <slixpk> cryptodan: I've done this before with systemd. I just ran into this issue where the 'service' command, which I thought ran upstart services, won't recognize my service file.
[06:46] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: i found this promptcast app, could u help me install for testing? http://sourceforge.net/projects/promptcast/
[06:46] <slixpk> cryptodan: irccloud wouldn't be able to connect to a locally-running bitlbee server. Also, I'm concerned that running a web browser just for chatting would be annoying.
[06:47] <cryptodan> well for starters its init.d and the config file should be called upon in the bash script
[06:47] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: sorry dint realize i posted without the link
[06:48] <OerHeks> mikubuntu, that would be a windows app, use wine for that?
[06:50] <slixpk> cryptodan: Ah, okay. So service files in /etc/init don't magically become available through 'service'. That's unfortunate. The other files in /etc/init.d look relatively complex, and I only want to run a single command..
[06:50] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: oh, sorry, din't realize it came from the evil empire. i cannot touch it.
[06:50] <cryptodan> but that is where service scripts are ran from slixpk
[06:52] <rodney77> Hi, I installed Wine today, and now when I insert an SD card into my computer, 'Resource Hacker' (reshack.exe) tries to run
[06:53] <rodney77> does anyone know how I can disable this?
[06:53] <daftykins> maybe it's following autorun code on it
[06:54] <rodney77> thanks for the reply, daftykins. There's no autorun code on the card
[06:54] <slixpk> cryptodan: I was hoping upstart made writing services easier.
[06:55] <daftykins> rodney77: had you installed said program with wine then? you know there's also a wine channel?
[06:55] <cryptodan> slixpk: the service command I believe only checks /etc/init.d/ and goes from there
[06:55] <rodney77> daftykins, I didn't install the program. I will ask in the wine channel. Is it just #wine?
[06:55] <daftykins> #winehq i believe
[06:56] <daftykins> i sincerely doubt 'resource hacker' materialised onto your non-Windows system ;)
[06:56] <cryptodan> rodney77: check Removable Drives and Media and see what options are there
[06:58] <rodney77> cryptodan, I'm not sure I understand
[06:58] <cryptodan> rodney77: what desktop environment are you running?
[06:58] <rodney77> I can see my SD listed in the sidebar as being mounted
[06:59] <rodney77> cryptodan, unity
[07:00] <PaulVern> I love the snippets manager plugin in gedit.  Other than that, I only used vim.
[07:00] <PaulVern> Is there a way I can get gedit to open, with the snippets manager already open?
[07:00] <PaulVern> any flag like gedit --snippets ?
[07:01] <cryptodan> rodney77: do you have in system settings something called Removable Media?
[07:01] <rodney77> cryptodan, no
[07:02] <cryptodan> rodney77: can you take a screenshot of your settings?
[07:03] <slixpk> I'm trying to start the service with initctl, but if I run status on it immediately after, it says it's stopped/waiting. I've already checked that the syntax is correct.
[07:04] <rodney77> cryptodan, http://snag.gy/LoJA5.jpg
[07:05] <cryptodan> rodney77: you are missing that option to tell the system what to do when you insert something
[07:05] <rodney77> hmm
[07:07] <rodney77> ok I have an executable on the card
[07:07] <rodney77> and it's trying to autorun it
[07:07] <rodney77> there's no autorun.ini
[07:07] <rodney77> but deleting this will almost certainly fix my problem
[07:08] <cryptodan> rodney77: check to see if hidden files are viewable
[07:09] <rodney77> cryptodan, all that was hidden was trash
[07:09] <rodney77> i deleted it and the exes
[07:10] <roy_> hello
[07:10] <ashlee> hi, my ~/.ssh/ permissions keep changing
[07:10] <ashlee> i set it to 600
[07:10] <ashlee> but then after a while some files are 644
[07:10] <ashlee> and i can’t login
[07:12] <slixpk> After looking into it further, dmesg reports that my main process is ending instantly. However, I just executed the part in "exec" manually, and it worked without complaint. So I'm not sure why upstart is failing to run it.
[07:12] <cryptodan> rodney77: you need to find the place to change what to do when you insert a USB Drive
[07:13] <OerHeks> ashlee, 700 for ~/.ssh/ and 600 for ~/.ssh/authorized_keys  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[07:13] <rodney77> cryptodan, I removed the exes and the card mounted just fine, so it's doing what I want it to do now
[07:13] <rodney77> thanks
[07:14] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: what about this Telekast, it looks to be linux :: http://sourceforge.net/projects/telekast/?source=typ_redirect
[07:14] <ashlee> OerHeks: yeah that’s what it’s set to, but if i try and login i get promted for a password
[07:14] <ashlee> debug1: Roaming not allowed by server
[07:21] <slixpk> Is there any reason an upstart "script" area would immediately fail, but running the same script via bash or whatever would succeed?
[07:21] <OerHeks> mikubuntu,  might work, xulrunner
[07:21] <slixpk> I'm having trouble debugging this because upstart doesn't say why my script exits, and running the same thing in my shell works correctly.
[07:23] <cryptodan> slixpk: dpaste.com the file
[07:24] <mikubuntu> OerHeks: could you help me install the telekast for testing? :: (i downloaded the tar.gz already) :: http://sourceforge.net/projects/telekast/?source=typ_redirect
[07:24] <slixpk> cryptodan: http://dpaste.com/0B9E35C
[07:26] <cryptodan> slixpk: there is no exec before the screen line
[07:27] <slixpk> cryptodan: Added it, http://dpaste.com/0NHYY4W . But I still get that error over and over again before upstart gives up.
[07:28] <cryptodan> remove the script lines
[07:29] <slixpk> cryptodan: I had that before, but it was also erroring.
[07:31] <cryptodan> weird
[07:34] <slixpk> Oh well. I'll keep looking for solutions. Thanks cryptodan.
[07:39] <BUSY> hey folks! i had sabnzbdplus and also had it loading at startup. i'm choosing to uninstall the software, but what files am i looking to remove or edit to similarly remove the startup script?
[07:39] <daftykins> find their website for their documentation
[07:39] <mdoge> BUSY: look at update-rc.d
[07:39] <Ben64> BUSY: well if you added a startup script... remove that.
[07:40] <BUSY> Ben64: i did, but it was ~a year ago and i'm not sure exactly where i might have done that
[07:40] <BUSY> mdoge: in /etc/ somewhere?
[07:40] <Ben64> could be anywhere then
[07:41] <mdoge> BUSY: update-rc.d is a program
[07:47] <linelevel> Hi, I have 2 Ubuntu boxes (EC2 servers). If I run `sudo scp ~/mydir/* user@box2:/home/user/mydir`, it succeeds (so this is not an SSH or permissions problem). BUT, if I use `sudo rsync -avz ~/mydir/ user@box2:/home/user/mydir/`, it hangs after "receiving incremental file list". Even with `--dry-run`, it hangs at the same point. Any suggestions?
[08:13] <linux_noob_buntu> whats the official/good PPA for truecrypt on 14.10?
[08:14] <stefan68ma> hi!
[08:14] <wub_wub> truecrypt development stopped afaik
[08:14] <stefan68ma> Is there a GUI tool to set prefered pulse audio devices per application (even if no audio running from them?)
[08:14] <cfhowlett> linux_noob_buntu, truecrypt = abandonware
[08:14] <Hecter> Hi guys, I really need help
[08:15] <Hecter> how do I revert the sudo upgrade?
[08:15] <cfhowlett> Hecter, reinstall the version you want.
[08:15] <linux_noob_buntu> well, I need truecrypt because its cross platform (I use it on my mac and linux). Please, any good PPAs?
[08:16] <cfhowlett> linux_noob_buntu, truecrypt is no longer supported.  you want an unsupported encryption on your sytem?  good luck with that.
[08:16] <linux_noob_buntu> cfhowlett: yes
[08:16] <cfhowlett> !truecrypt
[08:16] <cfhowlett> linux_noob_buntu, you break it, you fix it ...
[08:17] <linux_noob_buntu> I asked for PPA, it would be very helpful to get that. On arch its as easy as pacman -S truecrypt, I'm looking for 7.1a thanks.
[08:17] <suzanne__> ben64_,  hello?
[08:17] <suzanne__> he just quit... :?
[08:18] <wub_wub> linux_noob_buntu, I doubt you'll find any official or well maintained ppas as truecrypt is not considered safe to use because the development is no longer active and it may contain unfixed security issues.
[08:18] <Hecter> cfhowlett : I was following this
[08:18] <Hecter> http://askubuntu.com/questions/109404/how-do-i-install-latest-php-in-supported-ubuntu-versions-like-5-4-x-in-ubuntu-1
[08:18] <Hecter> my php version was 5.3.10
[08:18] <suzanne__> truecrypt is still useful.
[08:18] <Hecter> how do i revert even the apache2?
[08:19] <linux_noob_buntu> I don't care if it has bugs, I need it, OK?
[08:19] <wub_wub> first google result: https://launchpad.net/~stefansundin/+archive/ubuntu/truecrypt
[08:19] <cfhowlett> Hecter, right.  you asked for revert from an upgrade.  not doable in ubuntu.  you can only reinstall the previous install.  to install a specific app, you need to install that app number, e.g. sudo apt-get install thisname3.1.1
[08:19] <lifek> just boot 14.04 successfully after installed on hdv but needed to set "nomodeset" or get empty screen,  howto here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132, thanks sacarlson, EriC^^
[08:20] <suzanne__> are you wanting someone to do it for you or instruct you on the process ? linux_noob_buntu
[08:20] <linux_noob_buntu> wub_wub: yes, I've seen this one, I just came here to double confirm (see what community uses)
[08:20] <linux_noob_buntu> wub_wub: thank you
[08:21] <wub_wub> I don't use it and I don't recommend it, so if you want that perhaps wait for someone else to respond.
[08:21] <Guest46712> hi
[08:22] <Guest46712> hi
[08:22] <_10bag> hi johnny
[08:22] <Abhijit> hi
[08:22] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  the question is, are you going to be using this is production/professional environment ?
[08:22] <corey84-> truecrypt is better than bitlocker but its still trash imo
[08:22] <Abhijit> how to install libffi5 in 12.04? apt-cache only lists versios 6
[08:22] <Guest46712> i cannot dual boot my unbuntu along side xp
[08:22] <situ_> not recommended for production it has bugs
[08:22] <linux_noob_buntu> corey84-: well, its the only cross platform solution thats production ready and easy to use
[08:22] <corey84-> Guest46712, sure can what issue/error
[08:23] <suzanne__> its a question guys,
[08:23] <Abhijit> Guest46712, if thats a question, then yes you can dual boot.
[08:23] <corey84-> linux_noob_buntu, nope luksFormat OPENED and ntfs will take win its a royal pita tho
[08:23] <linux_noob_buntu> besides, I use it in combination with filevault2/luks encrypted drivers, so its fine
[08:24] <Guest46712> i installed ubuntu first no problem there then installed xp over the drive this erased ubuntu now if i try to install ubuntu it doesnot detect xp os and asks if it can install over the entire 160gb harddrive?
[08:24] <_10bag> partition the drive. you shouldn't be using xp though
[08:24] <suzanne__> if your wanting some thing to keep your lil bro out of your computer then go with it, if your in a production -ish  area then there maybe others that are better[you pay for them]
[08:25] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,
[08:25] <Guest46712> i can partition it but it does not DETECT THE PARTITION
[08:26] <_10bag> okay mate CALM DOWN
[08:26] <linux_noob_buntu> suzanne__: I use it for passwords/bitcoin wallets and stuff. So my setup is luks + truecrypt file, so its 2x encrypted. so if one is flawed, there is still other. any better setups?
[08:26] <Guest46712> right
[08:26] <suzanne__> Guest46712,  please rename yourself so the open chat can  have a easier time chatting with your
[08:26] <Guest46712> right
[08:26] <_10bag> i had the same problem myself a few years ago..."solved" it by ditching xp and just using ubuntu
[08:26] <Guest46712> how do i do thwat
[08:27] <Guest46712> problem is i am doing a project for my masters degree so i need both xp and ubuntu to do it
[08:27] <cfhowlett> !nick | Guest46712
[08:28] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  yeah get a fast ssd when your doing this stuff.  [best throughtput,on seperate drive]
[08:28] <linux_noob_buntu> suzanne__: I only have ssd's
[08:29] <vlt> Hello. I have two Ubuntu machines (12.04 LTS). One has no keyboard or mouse but a screen, the other no screen but keyboard and mouse. I have ssh access to both of them. How can I configure the headless one to forward every key stroke and mouse to the other machine right after booting? And how to tell the other to accept the remote control commands?
[08:29] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  do you have a sdd just for this appicaltion?
[08:29] <_10bag> actually i think i tell a lie...what i did was install xp first and used that to partition the drive. i can't remember the exact process though, sorry
[08:29] <Guest46712> still there
[08:29] <vlt> (They can reach each other via ipv4.)
[08:29] <linux_noob_buntu> suzanne__: I do have ssd's and regular external hdds for backups yes. they are stored in faraday cage.
[08:30] <Guest46712> ookay thanx
[08:30] <linux_noob_buntu> I have no backups in the cloud (eg. dropbox)
[08:30] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  faraday cage ????!? wow..
[08:31] <_10bag> never know when that solar flare is gonna hit
[08:31] <linux_noob_buntu> suzanne__: yeah, in case of an emp or solar flare
[08:32] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  sound like a srs setup.
[08:32] <linux_noob_buntu> its just a small wired cage, like bird cage lol
[08:32] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  like a professional :D
[08:32] <memand>  Hey guys, I have been looking in to using my new midi controller (Akai APC mini) in Linux but I'm at a standstill since I have been reading this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Midi_Keyboards but it mentions nothing about how to send signals back too the controller
[08:32] <memand> What I want to do is make a script or maybe even a qt program that can send/receive signals from/to the controller as to change the colors of the buttons as I'd like
[08:33] <suzanne__> well give me a sec im googling stuff linux_noob_buntu
[08:33] <wub_wub> Can, and should I, downgrade kernel if there are some issues with drivers?
[08:34] <memand> wub_wub, yes you can, and probably not
[08:34] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  how big can your size of bitcoin* stuff can get? [max size]
[08:34] <Chuck_Norris> memand: http://www.gnu.org/software/cursynth/
[08:34] <linux_noob_buntu> my total backup is 10mb
[08:34] <linux_noob_buntu> I do have some more files in just for noise tho
[08:34] <suzanne__> what is your setup linux_noob_buntu  as is?
[08:35] <linux_noob_buntu> what do you mean?
[08:35] <wub_wub> memand, ok - so the suggestion is to wait until the bug is resolved?
[08:35] <Chuck_Norris> memand: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/SoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[08:35] <memand> Chuck_Norris: Nice, I guess I can then choose to output CS to the midi controller somehow ?
[08:36] <Chuck_Norris> memand: i know nothing about that topic xD
[08:36] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  i just gtting a feel for your set up. so with the infomation, can help me google
[08:37] <memand> wub_wub: Since I do not know the exact issue you are having, it's quite hard to give a proper answer... But generally, yes... Don't mess with the kernel unless you know what you are doing
[08:37] <Chuck_Norris> memand: i just search some stuff :p  but i can't remember the name of the best open source program for midi -.-
[08:37] <memand> Chuck_Norris: Aint that the story of my life
[08:37] <memand> (not knowing anything about topics)
[08:37] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  bitcoin its self is about like 4-8 gb of stuff
[08:37] <Chuck_Norris> !info ardour
[08:37] <memand> :P
[08:37] <wub_wub> memand, gpu crashing when using chrome would be the basic summary so it's not really critical but important issue
[08:37] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  bitcoin wallet its self is about like 4-8 gb of stuff*
[08:37] <Chuck_Norris> there you go
[08:38] <linux_noob_buntu> suzanne__: no
[08:38] <memand> wub_wub, Sounds like a bug in chrome
[08:38] <linux_noob_buntu> suzanne__: its like 100kb
[08:38] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  brb
[08:38] <wub_wub> memand, nope - from what I can tell  here's a snippet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8914794/
[08:39] <_10bag> memand you looked at bitwig? it's not free or open source but is the best daw on linux imo
[08:39] <Chuck_Norris> !ardour > memand
[08:40] <corey84-> wub_wub, in chrome  url :     type   chrome://gpu    what if anything remarkable  there ?
[08:41] <memand> _10bag: not yet, but it looks like they are working on implementing the functionality I want in my program of choice (QLC+) so I where hoping I could script my way to a "quick" fix until they implement it fully in QLC
[08:41] <wub_wub> corey84-, it'll probably crash my gpu again so just give me a second to close my stuff so I can try it out
[08:42] <corey84-> its merely a report  lol
[08:42] <_10bag> ahh lighting, not music. best of luck man :)
[08:44] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  did you " sync" the wallet yet?
[08:44] <wub_wub> corey84-, nothing special really
[08:45] <wub_wub> basically under "problems" only stuff that's  not android specific and not supported on linux is listed
[08:45] <wub_wub> that's android specific*
[08:45] <memand> _10bag: Thanks, god knows that I need it at this hour :P Hours of google searching and I still have no idea how to communicate straight too the device from terminal...
[08:45] <linux_noob_buntu> suzanne__: what do you mean?
[08:45] <memand> Guess I'm back to reading random ALSA man pages :P
[08:46] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  im trying to remember when i used bit coin  you had to wait to "sync your program with the bitcoin network to even get mining
[08:47] <linux_noob_buntu> suzanne__: ye, I just copied the blockchain from other pc
[08:47] <linux_noob_buntu> its like 20gb
[08:48] <Chuck_Norris> memand: before reading manpages add this to the en of ".bashrc"  http://paste.ubuntu.com/8915644/  -.-
[08:48] <memand> Chuck_Norris: What does that do?
[08:50] <Chuck_Norris> memand: that does:  http://i.imgur.com/BceiIT3.png
[08:51] <memand> nice
[08:51] <Chuck_Norris> after: source .bashrc
[08:51] <corey84-> wub_wub, anything remarkable?
[08:51] <sb1980ma> should i use compiz with nvidia and ubuntu 14.04? i am having some lagging issues with cairo dock , but not sure if it is related to compiz. is this a known problem?
[08:51] <wub_wub> corey84-, no under "problems" only stuff that's only supported on android or not supported on linux is listed.
[08:52] <memand> Chuck_Norris: I literally think that is the most useful .bashrc addition I have seen so far!
[08:53] <bbba> hey, quick question, can i dist-upgrade my way to the latest ubuntu version?
[08:53] <corey84-> chrome://crash then please adn screenshot or c&p to dpaste or similar
[08:54] <corey84-> can bbba but how many releases you gonna be jumping
[08:54] <Chuck_Norris> memand: xD there are tons, i think to remeber that are people that has like .bashrc themes full of stuffs and customizations, but never try that i jus got a couple of thing in that file, but i know real sysadmin even append scripts in there -.-
[08:54] <bbba> corey84-: im at 9.10 right now
[08:55] <wub_wub> btw corey84- is my issue basically this: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83677 or should I submit a new bug report with gpu crash dump and system log? For the record here's the issue in system log again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8914794/
[08:55] <corey84-> id say backup and fresh install then
[08:56] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu,  are you there?
[08:57] <corey84-> wub_wub, inxi -C ; uname -mr pls   paste advised or seperate them
[08:57] <corey84-> rather inxi -CG     then uname -mr
[08:57] <memand> Chuck_Norris: I actually use Zsh normally but I'm still at least one reinstall away from having a stable production environment,  so I'm holding back on the customization for now
[08:58] <memand> But that man page "hack" is definately going in there for now
[08:58] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu, ???
[08:59] <wub_wub> corey84-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/8915812/
[09:00] <corey84-> try 3.16.3 or any 3.17 they have better support for intel gfx
[09:00] <memand> Ok, I found the sending function now XD
[09:00] <memand> http://linux.die.net/man/1/amidi
[09:00] <corey84-> kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[09:01] <wub_wub> What is the proper way to install those?
[09:01] <memand> Now just to parse some custom syssex files to send the little bugger
[09:02] <wub_wub> btw corey84- this bug report - which is very similar if not the same to my issue, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83677 shows users using 3.17
[09:02] <Chuck_Norris> wub_wub: you could do: sudo dpkg -i linux-*  and it will do its magic
[09:03] <Abhijit> how to install libmpfr1ldbl ?
[09:03] <corey84-> notice that is a fedora 3.17 kernel tho
[09:03] <corey84-> NOT the same
[09:03] <corey84-> I run fedora and ubuntu 14.04/mint 17
[09:03] <Chuck_Norris> wub_wub: or one by one like:  sudo dpkg -i header-all...   -   dpkg -i header...   -   lately sudo dpkg -i linux-image
[09:04] <corey84-> Chuck_Norris, too safe that way lol
[09:04] <Abhijit> how to install libmpfr1ldbl ?
[09:04] <Chuck_Norris> corey84-: xD
[09:04] <mememeffs> anyone still have that link to the 200 or less line irc client written in c?
[09:04] <corey84-> wub_wub, that is ALSO rawhide on fedora nonetheless
[09:04] <cfhowlett> Abhijit, pateince
[09:05] <corey84-> rawhide is well into 3.18 rc now
[09:05] <Abhijit> cfhowlett, quality not found.
[09:05] <Abhijit> error 404
[09:05] <Chuck_Norris> memand: i never knew it -.-
[09:05] <cfhowlett> Abhijit, jokes belong in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[09:05] <Abhijit> :-(
[09:06] <wub_wub> Okay, will try it - thanks corey84- and Chuck_Norris. If that doesn't work I'm guessing I should downgrade?
[09:06] <memand> Chuck_Norris: trust me, it was not easy to find
[09:06] <corey84-> apt policy google-chrome*  gives 37 38 or 39 ?
[09:06] <corey84-> wub_wub, ^
[09:06] <Chuck_Norris> oh! gtg, cya memand - cya *
[09:07] <wub_wub> corey84-, uhm... invalid command. Chrome version is 38 if that's the info you need
[09:08] <corey84-> wub_wub,  chrome://flags    and enable webGL FIRST before a kernel upgrade then   reload chrome (it will give button on bottom left)
[09:09] <suzanne__> linux_noob_buntu, .........................
[09:11] <wub_wub> corey84-, I should try running chrome with webgl enabled or should I do it just before kernel upgrade but upgrade regardless
[09:12] <corey84-> BEFORE and if still wonky  run upgrade and recheck for improve
[09:12] <corey84-> make sure you hit ENABLE NOT disable there are BOTH in chrome:flags
[09:13] <corey84-> chrome;//flags *
[09:13] <wub_wub> yeah got it
[09:13] <wub_wub> will try it out now... and if I quit it means it killed my gpu again
[09:15] <wub_wub> yeah its deadbagain luckily i have teamviewer so ill do upgrade now
[09:16] <aantoon> hi, i am using wicd instead of network-manager, i am using a usb dongle, chipset RT2501/RT2573. i am having varius wireless problems. this is the output of lsmod | grep -e rt7 -e rt2, see http://paste.debian.net/131087/ is this looking right?
[09:16] <corey84-> wub_wub, you have chrome use chrome remote lol
[09:17] <wub_wub> that would probably crash too lol dont want to risk it
[09:18] <wub_wub> kernel update failing too ffs
[09:18] <corey84-> wub_wub, if it does its h/w boss not chrome
[09:21] <Abhijit> is it safe to rm -rf /var/crash/* and rm /tmp/apport.* when i get No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
[09:21] <wub_wub> Hey corey84- thank you very much for your help, but I think I'm probably better of running something like debian stable - which din't have these issues.
[09:22] <Abhijit> wub_wub, it will have another set of issues!
[09:22] <corey84-> ^^
[09:22] <wub_wub> Abhijit, no it wont. At least not right now
[09:22]  * Abhijit prays for wub_wub
[09:24] <wub_wub> I'm pretty sure this is an kernel, not x/ubuntu issue, however debian uses older but more stable version which as far as I know doesn't have these issues. And in the end I just need my OS to run 3-4 apps daily without any issues I think debian can handle that :)
[09:24] <wub_wub> Sorry for wasting your time corey84- :/
[09:25] <Guest49048> ?
[09:25] <humbag> ¿
[09:25] <Guest49048> f@@@ y@@
[09:25] <corey84-> wub_wub, so you rather punt crap down rather than fix it ?
[09:26] <wub_wub> Yes. I want to use my OS not to fix it, even though I use linux I'm not really a "modify, customize and fix everything manually" type of guy.
[09:35] <SpaceAce> I'm installing i3wm. How do i change the default desktop background?
[09:35] <aantoon> bump.....hi, i am using wicd instead of network-manager, i am using a usb dongle, chipset RT2501/RT2573. i am having varius wireless problems. this is the output of lsmod | grep -e rt7 -e rt2, see http://paste.debian.net/131087/ is this looking right?
[09:39] <hellrazor> hi there :)
[09:40] <hellrazor> How can i change the default tty (tty7) of the xserver to something else (like tty12)
[09:40] <hellrazor> inittab file doesn't exist anymore :-/
[09:42] <hellrazor> well no answer is also an answer...

[09:54] <brook_> hi, I want to mount a hard disk(already have a centos 7 on it) from my ubuntu, but I can only find 500M dir(may be the boot directory). How can I find the user data on this hard disk?
[09:55] <Abhijit> brook_, just mount everything from gui? one of them will have the / or /home?
[09:56] <brook_> from the gui I can only see 500M dir, they both have the / and /home
[09:58] <kanupatar> how can I edit fstab in ubuntu 14.04.1?
[09:58] <Ben64> !fstab | kanupatar
[09:59] <Abhijit> i get No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already how to solve this on 12.04?
[09:59] <Abhijit> cant install any new software because of this.
[09:59] <Ben64> Abhijit: how does that stop you from installing anything
[10:00] <Abhijit> Ben64, anything else again takes me here only.
[10:00] <Ben64> Abhijit: pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update"
[10:02] <Abhijit> Ben64, http://paste.fedoraproject.org/149274/13728141/
[10:03] <Ben64> Abhijit: lots of PPAs and mixing precise and lucid, that could be the problem
[10:03] <Abhijit> Ben64, the apport maxreport error first occured while installing the bigbluebutton. after that its there everywhere.
[10:03] <Ben64> yeah, and that repository is for lucid
[10:04] <Abhijit> Ben64, we dont have vm for 14.04. i thought it will just work. whats the difference any way?
[10:04] <Ben64> lucid is not precise...
[10:04] <trijntje> !lucid
[10:04] <Abhijit> :-(
[10:05] <Ben64> and 14.04 is neither precise nor lucid
[10:05] <Dave666> Hi, Does anyone know how to disable apparmor? It's causing issues with mysql and even stopping the process still leaves stuff hanging about. Does it need to be uninstalled?
[10:05] <Abhijit> Ben64, ok. my mistake.
[10:08] <sallu29> #avr32
[10:08] <sallu29> join #avr2
[10:08] <Abhijit> sallu29, /j
[10:08] <sallu29> thanks
[10:09] <trijntje> Dave666: I'm pretty sure plenty of people use mysql with apparmor, so its probably better to leave apparmor alone and figure out whats going wrong with mysql
[10:11] <Dave666> trijntje: Yeah the problem is that it can't write out the results of queries to files as apparmor blocks it. So reporting wasn't working (we dump out results as csv). I've removed apparmor now and it's working :)
[10:17] <soman> Why is files on desktop is removed slowly? When I press 'del' about 5 sec I cannot select any other icon, then file is deleted. How can I diagnose the problem? Linux 3.13.0-39-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 28 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux (Xubuntu 14.04.1)

[11:07] <jpic> hi all, how to make apt install mysql but **not** start it ? thanks
[11:10] <cfhowlett> jpic, apt starts NO applications except apt
[11:11] <sacarlson> jpic: how about just kill it after you install it
[11:11] <voidDotClass> Hey guys, so I'm using an outdated version of ubuntu on one of my machines, and my apt-get install no longer works, gives 404 errors like:  Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/android-tools/android-tools-adb_4.1.1+git20120801-1_i386.deb  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[11:12] <voidDotClass> is it possible to fix these links without having to re-install the distro?
[11:12] <jpic> cfhowlett: when i install the percona package, it will try to start the server
[11:12] <jpic> sacarlson: because it is already going to setup the datadir in the default location ...
[11:13] <cfhowlett> jpic, not due to apt = package manager not package launcher
[11:13] <jpic> cfhowlett: oh thanks, i get that, it doesn't help me, but i totally understand that ;)
[11:13] <voidDotClass> can someone pastebin their copy of /etc/apt/sources.list please?
[11:14] <sacarlson> cfhowlett: apt-get I think can indeed start apps after install as my package I wrote does
[11:14] <jpic> voidDotClass: here's a minimal one: http://dpaste.com/134QN8N
[11:15] <cfhowlett> sacarlson, eeeeh ... ooooooookay.   news to me.
[11:15] <cfhowlett> voidDotClass, you can build a source.list here:  http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php
[11:16] <voidDotClass> i'm trying to replace this one: http://pastebin.com/iSG3Pe7Q
[11:16] <sacarlson> jpic: I guess what you want is to just get all the dependancies then including the deb file and not install it
[11:17] <Ben64> voidDotClass: quantal is no longer supported, you need to upgrade to a supported release
[11:17] <geirha> !quantal | voidDotClass
[11:17] <jpic> sacarlson: i don't think i understand ..
[11:18] <geirha> voidDotClass: If you want to upgrade to a supported version, you have to switch to old-releases, upgrade to 13.10, then upgrade to 14.04
[11:18] <sacarlson> jpic: you want the files for mysql to install it later I guess
[11:18] <holden87> hi there ubuntuers. Does anyone please know where i can set/change the fonts for notifyosd?
[11:19] <jpic> sacarlson: but the install is going to create the user which i need though
[11:19] <sacarlson> jpic: so DON"T install it just get the dependancies and deb files and install it when you want
[11:19] <geirha> voidDotClass: The steps are explained here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[11:20] <sacarlson> jpic: then create the user manualy?   option 2 modifiy the deb file so it stops install at the point you want
[11:21] <jpic> i see, i'm in a world of pain, thanks for answering though ;)
[11:22] <sacarlson> jpic: deb files are just made up of simple scripts you can change them as you desire
[11:23] <jpic> i understand i can fork the scripts and rebuild the package just to be able to install without automatic server start, thanks !
[11:26] <jpic> sacarlson: what do you think about this way ? https://major.io/2014/06/26/install-debian-packages-without-starting-daemons/
[11:26] <jpic> using rc policy
[11:27] <sacarlson> jpic: sounds good to me.
[11:28] <stevenm> Hey I'm on 14.04 - the xorg driver 'vesa' is being used instead of anything actually useful - this pc has a gma500/poulsbo video chipset - what to do?
[11:31] <sacarlson> jpic but I don't think that would stop my package from running as mine adds things to cron. but if you only plan to have it work on mysql it should be fine
[11:31] <jlg13> hi, how i could know the partition i'm working on now ?
[11:35] <sacarlson> jlg13: mount
[11:37] <jlg13> sacarlson thks. What about df ?
[11:37] <jlg13> sacarlson thks. What about df ?
[11:37] <jlg13> Oups sorry
[11:38] <sacarlson> jlg13: ya I think that might also work
[11:39] <jlg13> thx

[11:48] <bdbit> Is partition encryption broken in the 14.10 installer? When trying to manually setup partitions ('/boot', unused & encrypted root '/') in either Kubuntu 14.10 or Linux Mint 17 (same installer, it seems), the "physical partition for encryption" option for the third partition doesn't work ("unable to create key file")
[11:49] <bdbit> I discovered that the "ubiquity" installer seems to call "partman" as it's partition tool and tried to create my partition setup there
[11:50] <viejotren> is there anyway to use a generic video driver in 14.04? I have a lot of problem with the propietary one
[11:50] <bdbit> in "partman", in Linux Mint 17 it doesn't work, in Kubuntu 14.10 it works, but I have to repeat the partitioning in the graphical installer and it fails at the same point :(
[11:51] <hateball> viejotren: for what chipset
[11:52] <russian_ulysses_> Hi all. I have fairly plain desktop Ubuntu 10.04, w/o any significant customizations, running proprietary nvidia video drivers. Is it ok to upgrade dist 10.04->12.04->14.04 using plain 'apt-get update/dist-upgrade' instead of 'sudo do-release-upgrade'?
[11:52] <bazhang> russian_ulysses_, server?
[11:53] <Deepfriedice> russian_ulysses_: For a four year jump, I'd just do a fresh install.
[11:53] <viejotren> russian_ulysses: I did an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 and I have sevral problems with my ati driver, be carefull even if you do a fresh install
[11:54] <cfhowlett> russian_ulysses_, clean install might be better.  dist-upgrade will NOT upgrade the distro versions.
[11:55] <russian_ulysses_> bazhang yes, it has server components, so I'd like upgrade path. I thought about removing X and Gnome before dist-upgrade, upgrading, then reinstalling X and XFCE 4.10 instead of Gnome
[11:56] <russian_ulysses_> cfhowlett why dist-upgrade won't upgrade version? Say, I'll replace 'lucid' with 'trusty' in sources.list, then will do apt-get update? Won't it work?
[11:57] <cfhowlett> russian_ulysses_, you will find that process exponentially easier by following the !eolupgrade wiki
[11:57] <nagaraj> hi
[11:57] <IdleOne> that might work but probably will break everything and result in a unbootable install
[11:57] <cfhowlett> IdleOne, who?
[11:58] <IdleOne> cfhowlett: my message was meant for russian_ulysses_. Changing the version in sources list is a bad idea
[11:58] <cfhowlett> agreed
[12:03] <monb> hello, i got problem with my ubuntu; yday after reading article about "speeding up" ubuntu i changed value for "concurency=none" to "concurency=makefile" in /etc/init.d/rc and now my system wont start - it freezes at loading scr. I tried to change ownership of file but i failed to do it and now im lf help ...
[12:05] <russian_ulysses_> IdleOne it's a bit strange (for me), because this is how debian recommends to do a upgrade (https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#upgrade-process). I haven't done ubuntu upgrade for much longer, but thought same steps will do.
[12:05] <IdleOne> russian_ulysses_: follow the steps in !eolupgrade
[12:05] <IdleOne> !eolupgrade
[12:06] <russian_ulysses_> ok, will take a look
[12:15] <sb1980ma> I have one external monitor (using unity+nvidia): when i use shortcuts to tile, i cannot move windows from one monitor to another. what do i need to change here?
[12:26] <P_O_I_S_O_N> my  Ubuntu show me a error when it start up disk error press S to skip M to manually recover
[12:27] <rom1504> P_O_I_S_O_N: I think the problem is the poison
[12:28] <rom1504> try to use an antidote
[12:28] <P_O_I_S_O_N> rom1504: what
[12:28] <cfhowlett> !behelpful | rom1504
[12:29] <cfhowlett> P_O_I_S_O_N, mine does the same.  I let the check go through.  takes about 5 extra seconds
[12:29] <rom1504> yeah you are right, this channel is pretty pointless and boring, bye
[12:33] <condebasura> hola
[12:34] <holden87> hey guys. anyone know how to change fonts in notifyosd?
[12:42] <jpic> sacarlson, cfhowlett: "If I install an electrical switch at home, I don’t install it in the ON position with my circuit breaker in the ON position" kinds of describe what i was trying to do ;)
[12:44] <cfhowlett> jpic, that much I understand.  I'm afraid the rest is beyond my ability to advise on.
[12:45] <lancelot_of> hallo there
[12:46] <lancelot_of> is it dangerous to install 3.16 kernel under trusty thar, even not upgrading to Utopic?
[12:48] <jpic> cfhowlett: what do think of this approach ? setting a policy-rc.d
[12:48] <jpic> https://major.io/2014/06/26/install-debian-packages-without-starting-daemons/
[12:49] <cfhowlett> jpic, over my head and beyond my understanding, I'm afraid.  my coding skills = 0%  sorry.
[12:49] <jpic> oh ok ;)
[12:50] <jpic> it's like just an echo and a exit xD
[12:52] <lancelot_of> is it dangerous to install 3.16 kernel under trusty thar, even not upgrading to Utopic?
[12:52] <NoName> hello everyone
[12:54] <k1l_> lancelot_of: some stuff might break. the kernels are not ubuntu ones.
[12:55] <Vladimir_> trying to get help with git, can I ask here? is it possible?
[12:55] <Kris545545> git --help
[13:02] <GortiZ_> Hello, I've found that my sata drives have lost the ID_PATH variable needed to create symlinks into /dev/disks/by-path/ folder. How can I fix it? I've noticed it migrating from *buntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS. I've also tryied to write on the #udev channel but nobody answered.
[13:03] <ubuntu_> kmeth
[13:05] <lancelot_of> k1l_, thanks for your reply, my problem is that my wifi card seems to work correctly only with that kernel
[13:08] <sacarlson> jpic:  yes but when you build a car you normally they start it check it to make sure it runs then turn it off and wait for someone to buy it ha ha.
[13:08] <k1l_> lancelot_of: which card is it then?
[13:09] <As4xk> Hi. I read (a while back) about a command that one use as a mutex to prevent multiple instances of a script. It used dbus instead of flock because of some race conditions that can occour with flock (according to the author). Do anyone recognize this and know the name of this program?
[13:11] <lancelot_of> k1l_, 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 6b)
[13:12] <jpic> sacarlson: yes it seems a bit weird that installing a package actually starts it
[13:13] <sacarlson> As4xk: I'm not sure it's the same but I have a script the runs to check for if the process is already running if so it exits if not it starts it.  is that what you want?
[13:14] <wpd> What is the recommended method to install the info files for GNUMake?  make-doc claims that it has been moved to non-free/doc.  How can I add that to my sources.list?
[13:15] <As4xk> sacarlson: I'm actually more interested in the article i read, and i cant find it. So i figured i can maybe find it if i get the name of this program. But there are probably mroe than one of them, so it's a long shot
[13:15] <rainbowwarrior> Hi , I am wondering if someone can help me please ? I am trying to get Ubuntu 14.10 shares to show on my WD TV Live and when I select source and select " Linux Shares " I just get the arrow Icon spinning and nothing happens how can I fix this please ? ( I am connected to the network via wi-fi )
[13:15] <sacarlson> As4xk: I can give you a link to my software in github if what i have is what your looking for
[13:16] <sacarlson> As4xk: it's very simple
[13:16] <k1l_> lancelot_of: what gives you "uname -a"?
[13:16] <As4xk> Yes please. At worst case it's not helpfull :)
[13:17] <lancelot_of> k1l_, at the moment Linux Safinim2 3.16.7-031607-generic #201410301735 SMP Thu Oct 30 17:37:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[13:17] <sacarlson> As4xk:  the script that is called in cron does the check so look at that part https://github.com/sacarlson/Backdoor
[13:18] <k1l_> lancelot_of: in ubuntu that bug should be fixed. make sure you run the latest official verison of kernel, kernel headers and linux-firmware form the ubuntu repo
[13:18] <As4xk> sacarlson: sketchy name :p But thanks!
[13:21] <sacarlson> As4xk: here is a more direct to the script with an example of pidof command used to check if process is running https://github.com/sacarlson/Backdoor/blob/master/backdoor.debpackage/usr/bin/backdoor
[13:21] <sacarlson> As4xk: well I guess I'm just a sketchy kind of guy ha ha
[13:22] <lancelot_of> k1l_, i tried with the latest updates from ubuntu, but my wifi card disconnects a lot of times, as the bug description reports. is this source list file updated to you? http://paste.ubuntu.com/8919215/
[13:22] <mircolillo> XChat: /budus macro setup
[13:22] <lancelot_of> k1l_, and, exactly, which linux image should i install, in your opinion, from the ubuntu repos?
[13:23] <k1l_> lancelot_of: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/intel/+bug/1265436
[13:23] <k1l_> lancelot_of: just use the latest linux-image.
[13:24] <k1l_> lancelot_of: i dont have that card or a 14.04. but according to the bugreports i am finding it should be fixed.
[13:26] <bdbit> ubiquity installer tells me "unable to create key file" when trying to set up an encrypted partition. In "partman" it works. how can I debug this?
[13:29] <sacarlson> bdbit: might you provide a link to the reference used in what your trying to do?
[13:29] <liuxg> does anyone succeed in creating a bootable USB disk (not the liveusb) on ubuntu 14.10? thanks
[13:31] <bdbit> sacarlson: I can explain it, but there is no reference for my specific situation
[13:31] <vlt> Hello. I have two Ubuntu machines (12.04 LTS). One ("remote") has no keyboard or mouse but a screen, the other ("local") no screen but keyboard and mouse. They are connected via ipv4 and I have ssh access to both of them. How can I configure the local headless one to forward every key stroke and mouse to the other machine right after booting? And how to tell the other to accept the remote control commands?
[13:32] <bdbit> sacarlson: I'm trying to create a setup of sda1=/boot, sda2=unassigned (dual boot), sda3=encrypted / (root)
[13:32] <sacarlson> bdbit: and you think that's never been done before?
[13:33] <sacarlson> bdbit: sometime easer not to reinvent the wheel
[13:33] <bdbit> sacarlson: I'd like sda3 to be an encrypted LUKS partition. the partition manager provides the option "physical volume for encryption", like here: http://www.hecticgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Entering-values-for-the-encrypted-main-partition.jpg
[13:33] <bdbit> sacarlson: but the dialog is different, there are no password fields
[13:33] <sacarlson> bdbit: I have some references of scripts that setup luks encryption but not on root
[13:34] <bdbit> sacarlson: I'm trying to do it through the installer, without any external scripts, because it offers the option
[13:34] <bdbit> sacarlson: but it seems the installer is broken in that it doesn't provide the GUI fields for some of the input values that its backend needs
[13:35] <bdbit> sacarlson: of course I think that's been done before, that's why I'm wondering :-)
[13:35] <bdbit> sacarlson: the option is explicitly available in the installer, but it seems to be broken in some way
[13:36] <sacarlson> bdbit: standard stock ubuntu installer supports encrypted root?  I've seen articles on doing it some time back
[13:37] <bdbit> sacarlson: as far as I understood it from web searches, it should, since about 12.10
[13:37] <aljosa> any ppa available w/ updated bluez packages? need better bluetooth support and bluez 5.25 solves a bunch of problems
[13:37] <sacarlson> bdbit: the trick at boot is to have the needed modules available at the needed time
[13:37] <lancelot_of> k1l_, if i search for linux-image through apt i get linux-image-generic-lts-trusty (and related packages) and linux-image-3.13.0-39-generic (and related pkgs). Which one should i install according to you?
[13:37] <k1l_> lancelot_of: what is "lsb_release -d"?
[13:38] <bdbit> sacarlson: I did the same setup for my own machine in Arch linux manually. But I'd like the installer to do this for me in this case because it's a setup for another person who is completely new to Linux and an amateur computer user
[13:38] <sacarlson> bdbit: I'll find you an article of encryted boot to get you started
[13:39] <bdbit> sacarlson: I can do it by hand again, but I'm afraid it will break on next update :(
[13:39] <sacarlson> bdbit: you can create a custom iso modified ubuntu that makes an encrypted root for your friend,   I think that would be cool too
[13:40] <sacarlson> bdbit: ya updates to kernel won't be out of the box working unless you add some other scripting
[13:40] <sacarlson> bdbit: I can help you make a custom iso that will do that
[13:41] <bdbit> sacarlson: I also managed to do this in Ubuntu with the command line installer, it was version 10.10 I think
[13:41] <lancelot_of> k1l_, Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[13:41] <sacarlson> bdbit: ya that was the only one that I know back then that supported luks
[13:41] <k1l_> lancelot_of: the "linux-image-generic" package should provide the latest official kernel, which is the <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:42] <bdbit> sacarlson: hmm I'd like to keep things really easy for this machine. I'll rather use the hard disk password (even though I think it's less secure) in case I don't get this working the "stock" way
[13:42] <sacarlson> bdbit: but now I think the standard desktop has luks option by default
[13:43] <lancelot_of> k1l_, ok, so image, headers and linux-firmware pckgs, right?
[13:44] <sacarlson> bdbit: I had crazy passwords system that I get from the web at boot so no human needed to be there to get it to work but could still be disabled remotely
[13:44] <k1l_> lancelot_of: yes. the latest official stuff
[13:45] <bdbit> sacarlson: Unfortunately the people at #ubuntu-installer don't seem to be able to respond to my problem
[13:45] <bdbit> sacarlson: I really suspect it's just a minor glitch in the way the installer is pieced together
[13:45] <bdbit> sacarlson: because it works in "partman" (which is being called by ubiquity installer as far as I understand)
[13:46] <bdbit> sacarlson: sadly, the error message is totally non-informative
[13:48] <sacarlson> bdbit: well document what you did and we might simulate it in virtualbox to see what we see
[13:49] <sacarlson> bdbit: no need to bother people here with the details
[13:52] <RWOverdijk> Hey. Can I ask about tarpits here? I'm looking for a way to limit the amount of requests someone is allowed to make in a specific period of time.
[13:52] <mezod> how can i completely uninstall ubuntu/grub? (I need to, to send the laptop to the official technical support...)
[13:55] <AndChat616761> Can anyone tell me if all ubuntu variants use the same repository
[13:55] <Pici> AndChat616761: they do.
[13:55] <curiousx> AndChat616761: no, not all
[13:56] <rainbowwarrior> Hi , I am wondering if someone can help me please ? I am trying to get Ubuntu 14.10 shares to show on my WD TV Live and when I select source and select " Linux Shares " I just get the arrow Icon spinning and nothing happens how can I fix this please ? ( I am connected to the network via wi-fi )
[13:56] <Chuck_Norris> for example, Deepin uses others repositories by default
[13:56] <Pici> Chuck_Norris: That is not an official Ubuntu variant.
[13:57] <Pici> !flavors
[13:57] <Chuck_Norris> oh! well, he didnt mention "official" -.- he just write "all ubuntu variant"
[13:57] <AndChat616761> Chuck_Norris: but Pici told they all use the same repository
[13:57] <Chuck_Norris> wrote*
[13:58] <Chuck_Norris> if offical then, it's like Pici wrote
[13:58] <HFSPLUS> bazhang, nooo waaa
[13:58] <AndChat616761> Chuck_Norris: so ubuntu and xubuntu use the same repo
[13:58] <Chuck_Norris> yes
[14:00] <AndChat616761> Chuck_Norris: can you tell me briefly what to do after installing xubuntu, I am completely newbie
[14:03] <Chuck_Norris> AndChat616761: well, there is planty of guides in the www search for "what to do after install ubuntu 14.xx" you will fin more than one, for example:  http://www.noobslab.com/2014/04/thingstweaks-to-do-after-install-of.html
[14:03] <nusr> AndChat616761: three are a few good videos on youtube that show you "top things to do after installing"
[14:03] <AndChat616761> Chuck_Norris: ok
[14:04] <AndChat616761> nusr: ok, I will find it on youtube
[14:11] <adaccada> I have some severe issues with ubuntu 14.04 and my lenovo T410. Iwth the default grafic driver, the screen after a while just hangs up
[14:11] <adaccada> and I have to reboot
[14:12] <adaccada> Is this a known issue?
[14:12] <Chuck_Norris> !info tmux | adaccada
[14:13] <Chuck_Norris> adaccada: https://gist.github.com/MohamedAlaa/2961058
[14:13] <k1l_> Chuck_Norris: in here we do cover the official flavours. so what any other spinoff might use is not related to here :)
[14:13] <Pici> /36/ll tmux 5
[14:13] <adaccada> Chuck_Norris, well unity is crashing, sory for the bogus
[14:13] <adaccada> not screen
[14:14] <adaccada> unity or xorg
[14:15] <Chuck_Norris> oh! ok, adaccada amd?
[14:15] <k1l_> adaccada: what dies the logs say about that?
[14:15] <k1l_> *what do the logs say
[14:16] <adaccada> Chuck_Norris,  its a intel cpu and a nvidia chip
[14:16] <adaccada> Lenovo T410
[14:16] <adaccada> k1l_, where can I find the log if I may ask?
[14:16] <Chuck_Norris> adaccada: privative driver?
[14:16] <k1l_> adaccada: any 3rd party stuff? PPAs, .deb packages, drivers from website?
[14:16] <carlgo11_> Hi I'm trying to install Ubuntu along with Windows on my desktop. I'm using a seperate disk for Ubuntu. However I use Raid for Windows and Ubuntu can't seem to see that. Is it safe to install without loosing the option to boot Windows?
[14:17] <k1l_> adaccada: in /var/log/ and then syslog and dmesg. if there was a reboot  you need to look at the one with the number , but th lowest one
[14:17] <adaccada> Chuck_Norris, the standard one that ships with ubuntu. There is no crash with the nvidia proprietray driver tough. I trid that out alreaady
[14:17] <k1l_> adaccada: is it a hybrid video card?
[14:18] <adaccada> k1l_, which file holds the information about that?
[14:18] <adaccada> I can gist it
[14:18] <Chuck_Norris> adaccada: well cause i was about to recommend you nvidia's privative driver -.-
[14:18] <k1l_> adaccada: lspci
[14:18] <k1l_> if it names one or two vga devices
[14:19] <adaccada> Chuck_Norris, Yeah but there are other issues with that one like mouspad scrolling not wokring and also some FN keys
[14:19] <adaccada> k1l_, https://gist.github.com/anonymous/de2c3bdcd348c5739d6f
[14:20] <carlgo11_> Chuck_Norris: Maybe you know the answer to my question?
[14:22] <Chuck_Norris> carlgo11_: didn't read it -.-
[14:22] <Chuck_Norris> adaccada: may be you could try another desktop like xfce o lxde and keep using nouveau, just a suggest -.-
[14:23] <carlgo11_> Chuck_Norris:  want me to repost it? Or do you see it?
[14:23] <Chuck_Norris> carlgo11_: yes please :p
[14:23] <k1l_> adaccada: ok, seems like its not a hybrid card (not a intel/nvidia hybrid). so i would suggest to see the logs as mentioned what happend before the restart)
[14:23] <carlgo11_> Chuck_Norris:  "I'm trying to install Ubuntu along with Windows on my desktop. I'm using a seperate disk for Ubuntu. However I use Raid for Windows and Ubuntu can't seem to see that. Is it safe to install without loosing the option to boot Windows?"
[14:23] <adaccada> Chuck_Norris, I could do that yeah. But better would be to find out what is wrong and fix it :)
[14:25] <Chuck_Norris> carlgo11_: i never used raid but... i think grub will detect your windows instalation
[14:26] <carlgo11_> It says it can't find any other os when I open the installation application tho.
[14:27] <Chuck_Norris> carlgo11_: may be it is a uefi bios -.-
[14:27] <k1l_> carlgo11_: what gives you a "sudo fdisk -l"?
[14:28] <Chuck_Norris> better is, sudo parted -l  -.-  it will show (gpt partitions)
[14:28] <lapion> How can i regress a system into recovery mode from commandline ?
[14:28] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:29] <lapion> Hi BluesKaj
[14:29] <carlgo11_> http://pastebin.com/spkuL5HM
[14:30] <BluesKaj> hey lapion
[14:30] <lapion> you know what the runlevel is for system recovery ?
[14:30] <adaccada> k1l_, I'm not sure but I thik this was the time when it crashed: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7f820fdd2a22cacac5f2
[14:33] <Chuck_Norris> carlgo11_: what is in the ssd ?
[14:33] <carlgo11_> Nothing. It's new
[14:33] <adaccada> k1l_, yes that is the last that was logged shortly before or during the crash
[14:33] <k1l_> adaccada: i dont know just from that 2 lines. but i would say ou can try to run the nvidia driver from the repos: nvidia-current   or the nvidia-331 one
[14:33] <lapion> find grep single
[14:33] <lapion> oops..wrong keyboard
[14:33] <lapion> darned bluetooth keyboards
[14:34] <adaccada> k1l_, yeah but with that i have problems then with FN keys and with the mouspad and also a weird bug that does not allow me to login with the password anymore when the pc went to sleep
[14:34] <k1l_> hmm
[14:35] <Chuck_Norris> carlgo11_: ok, and you are trying to install ubuntu in that ssd right?
[14:35] <carlgo11_> Chuck_Norris: yup
[14:36] <random9090> disconnect()
[14:36] <Chuck_Norris> carlgo11_: well, that ssd it's gpt so, you need to create a gpt partition in you pendrive "sandisk" to be able to install ubuntu in there
[14:37] <lapion> init 1 gets me to a sinlge user mode however then I do not get the recovery menu..
[14:37] <lapion> I know I am spoiled..
[14:37] <carlgo11_> hm
[14:38] <BluesKaj> lapion, why don't want to reboot into the recovery kernel?
[14:38] <carlgo11_> okay time to switch back to windows. I'll be back if I don't get ubuntu to work
[14:39] <Chuck_Norris> carlgo11_: ok
[14:39] <basichash> Is it possible to add some key bindings to ubuntu to control spotify?
[14:40] <Chuck_Norris> bashy: surely ubuntu has a webapp for spotyfy
[14:40] <ubuntuaddicted> i have a weird situation, i have dual monitors and when I start up a fresh install of xubuntu 14.04 after installing the nvidia driver despite my xorg.conf being correct (meaning 1 monitor is at 0,0 and the other is at +1920,0) nvidia-settings still thinks there's a 1920 wide monitor in between the my 2 real monitors
[14:40] <lapion> BluesKaj, well some servers do not have remote kvm..
[14:41] <hateball> basichash: by default it should work with your media keys if you have them. otherwise it supports dbus so you can send commands that way
[14:42] <basichash> hateball: unfortunately my laptop doesn't have media keys. How can I get it working with dbus?
[14:43] <BluesKaj> lapion, well you could have mentioned that it's a server ..sorry no idea how
[14:43] <hateball> basichash: with some scripting. here is a good resource https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/spotify
[14:44] <lapion> BluesKaj, well it is not a server but a remote desktop
[14:44] <basichash> thanks
[14:47] <ubuntuaddicted> here's my nvidia-settings as well as the bottom half of the xorg.conf that nvidia-xconfig created. Can anyone suggest what to do besides creating a xrandr script to correct it? http://gyazo.com/02f9627d2e2c525799bb807e82edb10a
[14:50] <ntz> hello
[14:51] <ntz> I'm addressing the issue of one customer having ubuntu .. I don't have ununtu myself so please that's why I am asking .. how do I restart one particular interface when the etc/network/interfaces files is used (no NM) ? the interface name is in this case ppp0
[14:51] <ntz> ? ifdown ppp0; ifup ppp0
[14:52] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, yes, that should work. you would probably need sudo though
[14:52] <ntz> s/files//
[14:52] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: sure, thanks
[14:52] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, actually sorry, it's sudo ifconfig ppp0 down
[14:52] <ntz> it won't be ran from the user but from cron under some circumstances
[14:53] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: oh, I need to reload a etc/network/interfaces part related to ppp0 .. ip l set ppp0 down; ip l set ppp0 up; just puts up and down that iface
[14:54] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, i just tested it on my machine. this worked sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[14:54] <ntz> similarly, I'd do it like that in el* having ifcfg-XXX files.
[14:55] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: 1) ifconfig is dead relict 2) it doesn't reload that interface according to its static configuration
[14:55] <ntz> doing `service network restart' (iirc ubu has service command) is what I want but it is too aggresive
[14:55] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, debian still chooses to stick with ifconfig instead of ip not sure why
[14:55] <ntz> I'd like to ubu-friendly restart only that one interface eg ppp0
[14:57] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: can you please verify if my proposed method works ?
[14:57] <ntz> I've already found somewhere that ifup and ifdown works in ubu
[14:57] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, i already tried sudo ifconfig eth0 down, it does work. what do you want me to test?
[14:57] <ntz> I only wanted to verify that in some current ubu (either 12.xx or 14.xx LTS) ifup/ifdown works as expected
[14:58] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, so you just want me to run sudo ifdown eth0?
[14:58] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: but you don't understand that putting down the iface and rotating its cfg are two completely different tasks
[14:58] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, yes i understand that
[14:58] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: no, really, no need to do it
[14:59] <ntz> I expected that like ubuntu user you can tell me strong "yes, it's like that" or "no, it's not like that" or "yes, but you should know that ...."
[14:59] <ntz> it's just a question, if you never did it you can't answer it
[15:01] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, i can tell you that ifdown does NOT work on my machine because there's no interface file for me. i use network-manager so instead of using ifdown and ifup, using the tool directly like sudo ifconfig eth0 down will work
[15:02] <ntz> thanks
[15:02] <ubuntuaddicted> can anyone help me with my dual monitor issue please? i have 2 monitors and when i first started xubuntu it was mirroring my displays. i installed nvidia driver and used nvidia-xconfig and the xorg.conf looks correct BUT when I restart my machine it thinks there's a 1920 wide monitor in betweeen my 2 real monitors.
[15:03] <ntz> because nvidia blob sucks and can't use properly xrandr 1.2+
[15:03] <ntz> and also it depends on what animosity you tell it to do :P
[15:03] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, ok, so i just need to add a xrandr script to fix it?
[15:04] <ntz> show use your xorg.conf.d content related to nvidia ?
[15:04] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: no, xrandr with nvidia blob (iirc) doesn't work reasonably
[15:04] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, ubuntu doesn't use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[15:04] <ntz> nvidia driver can't use xrandr 1.2+ (important, there is still xrandr 1, etc) properly
[15:05] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: of course it does but have it elswhere
[15:05] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, here's my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/8920793/
[15:05] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+xorg.conf.d&t=opensuse
[15:06] <ntz> so it's wrong .. don't use xorg.conf
[15:06] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, it's not wrong, i verified that with nvidia's own documentation on configuration
[15:06] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: kick out the metamodes line and your porblem will be gone
[15:07] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: dog shit on what nvidia says
[15:07] <ntz> you should have to use only what you want exctacted from nvidia config
[15:08] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, that is, what xorg.conf IS generated from nvidia-xconfig
[15:08] <ntz> i understand
[15:08] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, so just completely remove that metamodes line and that's it?
[15:09] <ntz> and you only need 3 lines of it instead of using some stupid nvidia generic defaults
[15:09] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: yeah, comment it out
[15:09] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, ok, be right back. restarting X
[15:09] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: check ubu xorg.conf.d and put probably two or three needed lines to apropriate file and send this nvidia generated xorg.conf to the dev/null
[15:11] <ntz> anyhow can any responsible adult from here answer my initial question (the reason why I am here):
[15:12] <ubuntuaddicted> ntz, that was it. THANKS
[15:12] <ntz> I'm addressing the issue of one customer having ubuntu .. I don't have ununtu myself so please that's why I am asking .. how do I restart one particular interface when the etc/network/interfaces files is used (no NM) ? the interface name is in this case ppp0
[15:12] <ntz> ? ifdown ppp0; ifup ppp0
[15:13] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: that pre-genarated config as whole is bad and rather troublesome
[15:13] <ntz> really use only few lines of it what you need
[15:13] <ntz> ubuntuaddicted: i'd start only with the section Device
