[00:00] <Hailwood> Actually, if I edit the mount options that only affects it for ubuntu right? i.e. it shouldn't screw up the windows boot
[00:01] <daftykins> Hailwood: yeah you could add a permanent read-only fstab mount
[00:06] <kamek> got a problem with a rtl8188ce wireless card using module rtl8192ce. phy0 is hardware blocked and I cannot get it unblocked. Working with an Xubuntu 14.04 Live CD.
[00:07] <kamek> wifi switch just toggles the hp-wifi on/off
[00:07] <daftykins> so this is bluetooth?
[00:08] <kamek> no, trying to get wifi working
[00:08] <daftykins> oh so this realtek is a second external adapter?
[00:09] <kamek> unless it is bluetooth and I'm doing something wrong... I toggle wifi on w/ Network Manager and nothing shows.
[00:09] <daftykins> phy0 sounds kinda... non-wifi'y, but i can't be 100%
[00:16] <kemmler> If I have a .deb that someone else created and is hosting on a custom repo, can I backport that without the .dsc or source files?
[00:16] <manuel> how do i change channels?
[00:17] <kemmler> or am I going to need to recreate the build for the target I need
[00:17] <daftykins> manuel: wifi channels of your network?
[00:17] <daftykins> or IRC... :P
[00:17] <k1l> manuel: /join #channel
[00:28] <kamek> hm... seems i missed something in a reboot... noticed hp-wifi is now soft blocked... and rfkill unblock all, wifi, and 1 doesn't seem to work.
[00:28] <daftykins> "and 1" ?
[00:28] <kamek> rfkill list shows 1: hp-wifi
[00:29] <daftykins> hrmm
[00:30] <daftykins> kamek: lshw -C network | pastebinit
[00:34] <Umeaboy> kamek: Do you have a physical button to enable the wifi?
[00:34] <Umeaboy> What brand of the laptop/PC?
[00:34] <daftykins> thats a hard block i thought
[00:35] <Umeaboy> Sometimes makers use tell the wifi to enable if you enable bluetooth as well.
[00:35] <Umeaboy> HP for instance.
[00:38] <kamek> sorry have to pass things over with a flash drive. sharing a wlan0 connection through eth0 on Arch is another adventure.
[00:38] <kamek> https://gist.githubusercontent.com/deathspawn/a6cd1d394cd3c592df1c/raw/95b80a6ed025bb0208c214c1ec00b07170780b36/gistfile1.txt
[00:39] <daftykins> hmm disabled
[00:39] <kamek> hp 2000 notebook pc
[00:39] <kamek> there's a wifi switch on the F12 key
[00:40] <kamek> hitting it only toggles the hardware block
[00:40] <kamek> still software blocked
[00:40] <rgb-one> kamek: any recent kernel upgrades?
[00:41] <daftykins> what does 'iwconfig' state about wlan0?
[00:41] <kamek> it's a live cd xubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
[00:42] <kamek> trying to get it working before doing a fulll install, however i could install to another flash drive and mess with it
[00:42] <Umeaboy> kamek: Does it change status if you press it to change?
[00:43] <Umeaboy> Compare with rfkill list when you press it.
[00:43] <kamek> i said it toggles hardware blocked
[00:43] <kamek> *block
[00:43] <Umeaboy> OK.
[00:43] <kamek> soft block is unchanged
[00:43] <Umeaboy> Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[00:44] <Umeaboy> kamek: Could THIS be related to your problem perhaps? https://www.google.se/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCMQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fanswers.launchpad.net%2Fubuntu%2F%2Bsource%2Fgnome-nettool%2F%2Bquestion%2F240591&ei=UygjVePGEYqSsgGSjoSIDg&usg=AFQjCNGziING6vg3rgbvwYYWuxWLrCXt_w&sig2=83Cq0KSZ8LbXyEiPElvswg&bvm=bv.89947451,d.bGg
[00:44] <daftykins> soft is a driver not being loaded or NM not being set to manage wifi networks
[00:48] <Umeaboy> Check your BIOS as well.
[00:48] <daftykins> that doesn't seem likely this far along
[00:49] <Umeaboy> Well, at least check it from bootup.
[00:49] <kamek> https://gist.githubusercontent.com/deathspawn/b0ccdff7ceac0a6d2cd0/raw/ebc0d932fb4e9499f62d4a8796990963359901d4/gistfile1.txt
[00:49] <lyndel4> guys whats the command to test 3d graphicss? to see if there will be erros?
[00:49] <cluelessperson> Hey guys, I've got a server that has a LOT of trouble resolving hosts, it seems to take forever
[00:49] <cluelessperson> Any ideas as to why?
[00:50] <kamek> that's the output from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=13024222#post13024222
[00:50] <Umeaboy> lyndel4: You mean to benchmark?
[00:50] <lyndel4> yep
[00:50] <daftykins> cluelessperson: how is DNS configured? dnsmasq? /etc/resolv.conf hardcoded? /etc/network/interfaces hardcoded?
[00:50] <lyndel4> haha
[00:50] <cluelessperson> The resolution is so terrible that I can barely connect to any thing
[00:51] <cluelessperson> daftykins, hard coded in interfaces, because I need static ips
[00:51] <Umeaboy> Just download a 3D movie and play it with mplayer runned from terminal.
[00:51] <lyndel4> i did it before a guy here told me but i did not save the command
[00:51] <cluelessperson> daftykins, It's frozen at th emoment, (won't respond to cntrl+c) because I just tried to pastebinit for you
[00:51] <lyndel4> there is a command for it
[00:51] <lyndel4> u dont know it?
[00:51] <cluelessperson> waiting for it to error out and getting really pissed off
[00:52] <Umeaboy> lyndel4: Uuuuhm. Use up and down arrows in the terminal to see the history of given commands.
[00:52] <lyndel4> or maybe it was direct x but he told me to do it and i sow a 3d object it was really amazing tool
[00:52] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Are the web server the DNS server running off the same box ?
[00:52] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, no, I'm not runnign a dns server, I don't think?
[00:52] <lyndel4> it wot be there i turned off the pc many times that would be lost by now lol
[00:53] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Would you please provide an example domain?
[00:53] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, google.com
[00:53] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Ok, so the problem is your server resolving external hosts?
[00:53] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, zachary@pine:/etc/network$ ping -c 1 google.com
[00:53] <cluelessperson>    Waiting on this command to finish, it's frozen and not responding to Ctrl+C
[00:53] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, yes
[00:53] <daftykins> cluelessperson: yes but static does not require DNS to be in interfaces :>
[00:53] <daftykins> cluelessperson: also what OS version?
[00:53] <cluelessperson> daftykins, well, it doesn't automatically resolve them
[00:54] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: do you have console access or is this all over SSH ?
[00:54] <cluelessperson> daftykins, ubuntu server 14.04.02
[00:54] <CountryfiedLinux> howdy
[00:54] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, yes
[00:54] <daftykins> 'auto resolve' ?
[00:54] <cluelessperson> console access
[00:54] <lyndel4> but basicaly playing 3d games in wine crashes but only at a point with lots of players its a mmo game plays fine but as soon as i tele to main city it crashes and wont open until i use windows login more to a spot with less players then it works on linux
[00:54] <cluelessperson> daftykins, like it would without static ips
[00:54] <daftykins> you mean auto discover DNS IPs?
[00:54] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Try Ctrl + z to background the stalled process
[00:55] <lyndel4> hk what the command u gave me again to benchmark 3d graphics
[00:55] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, even connecting to cluelessperson.com  seems really freaking slow.
[00:55] <daftykins> lyndel4: look through "history"
[00:56] <CountryfiedLinux> How do I turn off lid close settings on my laptop? I want to close it turning off my screen?
[00:56] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, The server pings the router/gateway fine
[00:56] <nmz787> hi all, how do I install a serial mouse driver for a given device i.e. /dev/ttyUSB3
[00:56] <cluelessperson> CountryfiedLinux, google.
[00:56] <lyndel4> its not in history
[00:56] <CountryfiedLinux> cluelessperson, tried
[00:56] <daftykins> !google | cluelessperson
[00:56] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: cluelessperson.com seems to be running fine and there's no network breakdown
[00:56] <kamek> https://gist.githubusercontent.com/deathspawn/b0ccdff7ceac0a6d2cd0/raw/ebc0d932fb4e9499f62d4a8796990963359901d4/gistfile1.txt anyone can diagnose?
[00:57] <daftykins> cluelessperson: tried with google DNS or openDNS?
[00:57] <cluelessperson> CountryfiedLinux, https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=ubuntu%20close%20lid%20action
[00:57] <nmz787> nvm reading some things on wiki page now
[00:57] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Were you able to get that stalled process stopped or moved to the background?
[00:58] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, it timed out after a minute or two.
[00:58] <cluelessperson> daftykins, I have my isp'
[00:58] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: What's your current load average?
[00:58] <cluelessperson> 's default dns, then I have google's as a backup
[00:58] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, less than 1%
[00:58] <daftykins> cluelessperson: use an alternative
[00:58] <daftykins> for both.
[00:58] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: I agree with daftykins on alternative DNS settings
[00:58] <hkrrsx> <IP_ADDRESS> / <IP_ADDRESS> are Google's Public DNS
[00:58] <lyndel4> found it siome one else gave me thanks tho :)
[00:58] <daftykins> routers and especially ISP DNS tend to be pretty poor
[00:59] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, daftykins I have   isp_dns1 isp_dns2 google_dns1   in my interaces set.
[00:59] <Bashing-om> lyndel4: glxgears -info ??
[00:59] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Use the IP's specifically
[00:59] <daftykins> cluelessperson: that is not sufficient and not appropriate
[00:59] <cluelessperson> daftykins, What is then?
[00:59] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, I do.
[00:59] <daftykins> do what i said :)
[00:59] <daftykins> that's why i said it.
[00:59] <lyndel4> open dns servers are the wost its best to not sergest it lol i dont trust them also
[00:59] <daftykins> lyndel4: that's utter rubbish i'm afraid.
[01:00] <cluelessperson> I'm trying to show you, but I can't even freaking pastebinit  or share the file on the webserver, wtf
[01:00] <lyndel4> yep that was the coomand lol
[01:00] <lyndel4> dude read about it man
[01:00] <daftykins> i know about it.
[01:00] <lyndel4> its not safe and it can be damaging to some users
[01:00] <daftykins> yeah that's silly
[01:01] <daftykins> anyway moving on
[01:01] <lyndel4> lol
[01:01] <cluelessperson> daftykins, hkrrsx   My windows desktop has no internet issues what so ever
[01:02] <lyndel4> take care guys
[01:03] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Are there any other machines on your network having the same problem ?
[01:03] <hkrrsx> Or is it just this one?
[01:03] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, No, just ubuntu, when I set static ips on the network
[01:03] <cluelessperson> this is why people don't use linux for daily use
[01:04] <daftykins> i think you configured it badly
[01:04] <hkrrsx> I use it for both work and home
[01:04] <hkrrsx> Daily
[01:04] <cluelessperson> daftykins, I shouldn't be able to configure it badly, on accident
[01:04] <erwin> hello
[01:04] <daftykins> cluelessperson: purge the package resolvconf, reboot, remove your IPs from /etc/network/interfaces and put them in /etc/resolv.conf instead - and google only
[01:04] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: has your pastebin ability come back?
[01:04] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, no
[01:05] <daftykins> cluelessperson: this is a pure CLI OS - there is a learning curve. it is not designed to hold the hand of Windows users :)
[01:05] <PHPLearner> how do I access a folder in Ubuntu 14.10 that names of the folder starts with a dot like .local
[01:05] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: what happens when you try to run this command: " top -bn1 | pastebinit " ?
[01:05] <hkrrsx> Do you get a URL in return or other?
[01:05] <PHPLearner> anyone can help me please
[01:06] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, It just pauses and waits until the socket times out
[01:06] <cluelessperson> it apparently has no error handling, which is stupid
[01:06] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Ok, what's the uptime on that machine?
[01:06] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, 2 hours.
[01:06] <pavlos> PHPLearner, if you use the File Manager, one of the options is to enable hidden folders
[01:06] <daftykins> cluelessperson: do as above :)
[01:07] <cluelessperson> daftykins, This setup has been working fine for days, why the hell would it fail now?
[01:08] <pavlos> PHPLearner, show hidden files is ctrl+H
[01:08] <daftykins> cluelessperson: i care not, just configure it as i say.
[01:08] <daftykins> assuming your interfaces file is correct to begin with
[01:08] <cluelessperson> daftykins, hkrrsx   http://hastebin.com/utubofahaj.hs
[01:08] <Bashing-om> PHPLearner: A dot (.file) file is a 'hideen' file .. to list these hidden files -> ls -al <file_name> . Or GUI ctl+h .
[01:09] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: thanks
[01:09] <cluelessperson> daftykins, it wouldn't have worked in the first place if it was misconfigured.
[01:09] <daftykins> yes it would
[01:09] <daftykins> cluelessperson: you can either follow my advice or keep dealing with a funky setup :) but arguing it is just wasting both of our time :>
[01:10] <cluelessperson> daftykins, You're failing to explain why I should follow your advice, use your configuration, your way.
[01:10] <daftykins> because i manage servers that all work just dandy
[01:10] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: what happens if you comment out all but lines 1 - 6 and restart networking ?
[01:10] <cluelessperson> daftykins, It directly contradicts the other ways it's been explained I should set it up as.
[01:10] <daftykins> i disagree, simply a different approach
[01:11] <cluelessperson> daftykins, You can disagree all you want, I'm not moving until I understand why.
[01:11] <cluelessperson> I don't want "just do it this other way"
[01:11] <cluelessperson> I need to understand why this way doesn't work, and it definitely worked before.
[01:12] <daftykins> your loss then. by the way your attitude is absolutely terrible and not that of an open minded willing-to-learn user.
[01:12] <daftykins> approaching free help volunteers with this attitude is shocking
[01:12] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: The reason daftykins is asking you to do that is because PURGING resolvconf will remove both the resolvconf program and its configuration files in hopes of relieving the problem
[01:12] <daftykins> plus it prevents my configuration approach from working
[01:13] <hkrrsx> Also, by removing the static IP's from /etc/network/interfaces will all your server to test DHCP, so long as you set it to DHCP in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:13] <cluelessperson> daftykins, I want to know WHY it doesn't work first, so I can determine what to do, and my battery is about to die
[01:13] <hkrrsx> Basically, he's asking to reset your configurations back to stock
[01:13] <hkrrsx> Things generally work with stock settings
[01:14] <hkrrsx> We can troubleshoot further from a working set
[01:14] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, this is the only file I've changed.  DNS immediately stopped functioning when I changed this file to static ips
[01:14] <hkrrsx> Dig?
[01:14] <daftykins> cluelessperson: try stating that first time politely in future instead of fighting advice :)
[01:14] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Ok, what happens when you put your IP's back to DHCP then?
[01:14] <hkrrsx> Does it start working again ?
[01:15] <cluelessperson> Yes.
[01:15] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Humor me and comment out lines 7, 8, 15 and 16 in your /etc/network/interfaces file and restart networking , please
[01:16] <hkrrsx> This is just to test if IPv6 is somehow interfering and disabling your statically set nameservers
[01:16] <kamek> https://gist.githubusercontent.com/deathspawn/b0ccdff7ceac0a6d2cd0/raw/ebc0d932fb4e9499f62d4a8796990963359901d4/gistfile1.txt can anyone help? need to fix wifi
[01:17] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: " sudo service networking restart ", just for good measure

[01:18] <lotuspsychje> hkrrsx: tnx
[01:18] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: what does the last few lines of /var/log/syslog say ?
[01:18] <hkrrsx> " tail -20 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit " , please
[01:19] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Put sudo in front of that, sorry
[01:19] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, frozen, waiting to timeout.
[01:20] <hkrrsx> Sorry, CTRL + W 'd myself outta here
[01:21] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: when your system returns to normal, then lets have the output from my previous command
[01:21] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, I can't pastebinit, still issues
[01:21] <cluelessperson> cannot restart network service
[01:22] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: can you switch to TTY1 ?
[01:22] <hkrrsx> CTRL + ALT + 1
[01:22] <hkrrsx> Or are you completely locked up
[01:22] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, ctrl+Z works fine to escape
[01:23] <hkrrsx> Progress. Excellent.
[01:23] <hkrrsx> sudo tail -20 /var/log/syslog and the put up on that hastebin.com site you previously used ?
[01:25] <hkrrsx> Por favor

[01:34] <cluelessperson> enchilado, what's wrong with that?
[01:35] <cluelessperson> Then why the hell is it setup by default?
[01:36] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: one more time with a slightly different command
[01:36] <cluelessperson> daftykins, what's wrong with ufw behind a router?
[01:37] <cluelessperson> daftykins, I don't want people inside the network potentially accessing ports.
[01:37] <hkrrsx> " sudo grep -i network /var/log/syslog | tail -50 "    -> hastebin.com please

[02:12] <nate254> pavlos: There was another module which seemed similar so I un-blacklisted that one. The one mentioned in your link wasn't there. Still no luck
[02:12] <Kenb> So I installed grub-customizer. Big mistake. It removed all the unwanted entries, etc. And I did choose to Configure Burg. But now it reboots, says Burg at the very top, but you cannot change theme with t command and it looks like the basic grub screen now.
[02:13] <progamer> oi
[02:13] <nate254> duckey: corrupt disk?
[02:13] <nate254> duckey: I'm a ubuntu noob though. Don't take me too seriously :)
[02:14] <Kenb> Usually you get the joyful Internal Error, or you get selinux errors when starting up.
[02:14] <twenty-three> hi guys, i was wondering how can i make the history command keep record of more commands than what it currently does (2000)? is it possible? also, what is the limit?
[02:14] <duckey> Okay then. I dont really like ubuntu because of unity but I am at a last resort so, need it now!
[02:14] <hkrrsx> twenty-three: which terminal program are you using?
[02:15] <nate254> duckey: that's why I am on Xubuntu :)
[02:15] <twenty-three> hkrrsx: idk, the default one i guess, i haven't installed any additional ones
[02:15] <hkrrsx> twenty-three: the /home/<USER>/.bash_history file should keep all of your commands
[02:15] <nate254> twenty-three: I believe for bash, you can set HISTSIZE=2000 for example in your .bashrc
[02:16] <hkrrsx> twenty-three: also, if you run " history | less ", you can see all of your commands starting at 1
[02:17] <nate254> Also, setting HISTSIZE= and HISTFILESIZE= (without anything to the right of the equals) would theoretically make it unlimited... More on this
[02:17] <Kenb> All the various Xwindows types have their pluses and minuses. Unity does sometimes mess up the Menu placing it under my AWN panel. And then sometimes I go into PCMAN and it wants to show hidden files, I change that and reopen and it is still showing them.
[02:17] <duckey> nate254, I like gnome, just not unity :)

[02:19] <mastranios> Hello all, I was hoping someone would be able to help me with an issue I am having with pure-ftpd
[02:19] <ObrienDave> Kenb, try HexChat. looks and behaves just like Xchat. currently maintained, has a few more options
[02:19] <Kenb> And the Weather Applet in AWN never seems to show the Forecast.
[02:19] <twenty-three> hkrrsx: i tried "history | less" and it displayed my commands stating from the 1003th, is this normal?
[02:19] <umbra_purus> Need some help. I'm using ubuntu server 14.04.2 lts and just installed gnome desktop but I can't change my resolution. It just appears 640x480 option..
[02:19] <docmur> I'm running Zimbra on Ubuntu Server 14.04 and I can recieve mail but not send it, how can I check my outgoing mail servers
[02:19] <hkrrsx> twenty-three: that's not normal by my experience
[02:20] <Kenb> I did but Xchat works better into the Theme. Hexchat is almost identical. I really dont use it a lot.
[02:20] <hkrrsx> twenty-three: please see the URL provided by nate254
[02:20] <nate254> twenty-three: it just started you at another end of the file..  type "gg" or "G" to go to top and bottom
[02:20] <Kenb> Xchat matches the desktop Theme without any changes.
[02:20] <twenty-three> oh right
[02:20] <umbra_purus> Need some help. I'm using ubuntu server 14.04.2 lts and just installed gnome desktop but I can't change my resolution. It just appears 640x480 option..
[02:21] <twenty-three> i'll work on it, thanks a lot nate254 and hkrrsx . see you later :)
[02:21] <umbra_purus> might it be the lack of drivers?

[02:22] <umbra_purus> I'm running ubuntu in oracle VM
[02:23] <Kenb> Oh so the VM I assume is running inside of Ubuntu?
[02:23] <pavlos_> umbra_purus, you need to install the VM extensions so that you can resize your guest OS
[02:23] <Kenb> Or the other way around.
[02:23] <mastranios> I am stopping a service via "service xxx stop" and starting it back up via "service xxx start" and am still getting - flag in "service --status-all
[02:23] <umbra_purus> Kenb: no. I'm running ubuntu in vm
[02:23] <umbra_purus> I'm running oracle with win7.
[02:24] <Kenb> So its the oracle not liking ubuntu.
[02:24] <umbra_purus> VM extensions? When I had ubuntu desktop version it run smoothly
[02:24] <Kenb> Somebody moved the ends.
[02:24] <nimbiotics> Hello everyone. Trying to help a friend who is overseas; he wanted to know whether a certain system is 32 or 64 bit, so I told him to use <<lscpu|grep "CPU op-mode">> and the result was "32-bit, 64-bit" What does this result mean?? TIA!
[02:24] <duckey> So, does anyone have any idea what I can do?
[02:25] <umbra_purus> Any tips?
[02:25] <Kenb> What does System profiler tell him?
[02:25] <nate254> nimbiotics: perhaps multilib? I am running 64-bit and mine says the same thing
[02:26] <nimbiotics> nate254: what does multilib mean?
[02:26] <umbra_purus> Any tips? any?
[02:26] <duckey> Who wants to take LSD and run around the woods naked/
[02:26] <ObrienDave> nimbiotics, it means it supports both 32 and 64 bit libraries
[02:27] <nate254> nimbiotics: It means that the OS has libraries for both architectures and can run both 32bit and 64bit binaries... Have him run "lscpu | grep Arch"
[02:27] <nate254> That seems to be the more accurate output
[02:27] <Kenb> My system is a Pentium D and I get that too.
[02:27] <somsip> nate254: but wont that tell him what his CPU supports, and not what the OS is?
[02:28] <Kenb> Pentium D Intell is dual core 64bit
[02:28] <somsip> nimbiotics: uname -a will tell if it's i386 or x86_x64 that's installed
[02:28] <nate254> somsip: Beat me to it ^_^

[02:28] <duckey> i686-pae!!!!\
[02:28] <pavlos> nimbiotics, uname -r   ...x86_64 in the kernel indicates 64 bit
[02:29] <umbra_purus> Can someone help me out? How can I change the resolution

[02:37] <hkrrsx> duckey: Are you trying to install Ubuntu to disk?
[02:37] <hkrrsx> If so, why are the partition mounted in the first place?
[02:38] <duckey> Yes but the installer is being a hoe
[02:38] <duckey> IDK
[02:38] <hkrrsx> duckey: Click yes
[02:38] <duckey> Okay, that works!
[02:39] <nate254> Would a touchpad be shown in any utility i can run? (lspci, etc) It's not shown in lspci for me.
[02:40] <duckey> Wait, it says install ubuntu alongside ubuntu, but i dont have ubuntu installed! GHOST!!!!
[02:40] <pavlos_> nate254, mine shows up in lsusb (dell laptop)
[02:41] <nate254> duckey: likely a previously failed installation?
[02:41] <duckey> Yeah thats my guess
[02:41] <nate254> pavlos: thank you. mine does not :/
[02:41] <pavlos_> nate254, laptop model?
[02:41] <nate254> unless its "Chicony Electronics Co." I've got no clue what that is.
[02:42] <nate254> Lenovo E450
[02:42] <hkrrsx> duckey: Here's a YouTube instructional video on how to install Ubuntu:  https://youtu.be/omQYrUoAo6s?t=1m23s
[02:42] <nate254> If I had known this would happen I would've taken notes before I wiped my gentoo install earlier today :p
[02:43] <Kenb> Chicony is keyboard usually.
[02:43] <duckey> I figured it out! Thanks though!
[02:43] <nate254> Good to know. Thanks
[02:43] <hkrrsx> duckey: Good work
[02:43] <Kenb> Shoulda used Redo
[02:44] <duckey> Yeah, a little exhausted!
[02:44] <nate254> redo?
[02:44] <pavlos_> nate254, touchpad seems to be ALPS ... http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201411-16166/
[02:45] <Kenb> Alps touchpads sux. Well in windoze anyhow, you can never disable the taps on them.
[02:46] <Kenb> I realize that is all software driver based problem of course.
[02:47] <Kenb> Truly the best thing is that Ubuntu sees hardware like 3rd party old PCI cards much better.
[02:47] <nate254> All I care is that i get two-finger scroll working :p and two finger tap for right click
[02:47] <nate254> pavlos: thanks1
[02:48] <Kenb> May need Univeral (handicap) stuff to help with that.
[02:48] <Kenb> Sorry I am a bad typist in spelling.
[02:49] <nate254> Kenb: I hope not. It worked perfectly in Gentoo
[02:50] <nate254> Hah! So "apt-cache search alps" led me to a utility called tpconfig which seems to detect my trackpad. Let's see what it can do
[02:55] <Kenb> So any thoughts on my BURG? Looks to me that I need to remove BURG totally, in order to get it to revert back to grub2 and then try a reinstall of BURG.
[02:56] <Kenb> But before I do that, time to go for a Redo Backup JUC.
[02:57] <Kenb> Is there a better channel to discuss Burg and grub issues

[02:57] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx,   I'm back from class
[02:57] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: wb
[02:57] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, and in a much better mood. :P
[02:58] <hkrrsx> Excellent
[03:00] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, so yeah, I cannot access it at cluelessperson.com   my gaming group seems to be connecting to teamspeak fine though
[03:01] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, So I wonder if it's just blocking me for some reason
[03:01] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: wasn't your situation that your ubuntu server was hanging while trying to access outbound sites?
[03:02] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, it'd timeout.. because it can't resolve hosts yes
[03:04] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Ok, can you hastebin the output of your /etc/resolv.conf file?
[03:04] <hkrrsx> I remember that your /etc/network/interfaces file also had the nameservers set
[03:04] <hkrrsx> Let's see what the difference is
[03:06] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, http://hastebin.com/hukezijehe.hs
[03:06] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: You're talking in here from the same machine you're hosting cluelessperson.com from ?
[03:07] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: That hastebin looks like it's from your /etc/network/interfaces file .... I'm looking for the output of your /etc/resolv.conf file
[03:07] <cluelessperson> ah, one moment
[03:07] <hkrrsx> thanks
[03:08] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, http://hastebin.com/idozunanep.hs
[03:08] <hkrrsx> Marvelous
[03:09] <hkrrsx> Ok, try this: add this line as the FIRST nameserver entry in the list:
[03:09] <hkrrsx> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:09] <hkrrsx> Then comment out the remaining 3
[03:09] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, done
[03:09] <hkrrsx> By doing this, we're making your gateway the default DNS server
[03:09] <hkrrsx> Ok, sudo service networking restart
[03:10] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, job failed while stopping
[03:10] <hkrrsx> Eff.
[03:10] <hkrrsx> Forgot about that part
[03:10] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, I think that's typical
[03:10] <nate254> For anyone who was wondering, my Lenovo's touchpad was fixed by simply updating to the newest kernel (3.19.0)
[03:11] <nate254> I believe there was at least one here who said they had problems as well...
[03:11] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Let's try it a different way
[03:12] <hkrrsx> ... and full disclosure, this might drop your connection
[03:12] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx,  you think. ;)
[03:12] <hkrrsx> sudo ifdown p1p1 && sudo ifup p1p1
[03:12] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx,   ifconfig eth0 down && ifconfig eth0 up
[03:12] <cluelessperson> yeah
[03:13] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, done
[03:13] <hkrrsx> Test cluelessperson.com again
[03:13] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, seems to respond readily now
[03:14] <hkrrsx> Try http://ubuntu.com
[03:15] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, this works now
[03:15] <cluelessperson> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10757187/
[03:15] <hkrrsx> Proper!
[03:16] <hkrrsx> I'd presume it's safe to remove the comment from your IPv6 lines but you should probably remove the dns-nameservers lines
[03:16] <hkrrsx> Especially since you're using <IP_ADDRESS> as your nameserver
[03:17] <Kenb> nope but surely something is not right with Burg. It keeps saying to rename a file to "Themes.txt"  .. Sorry I am fairly new, and so looks like 1 I need to get regular grub back into the mbr and working the way it should be. 2 remove all traces of Burg, and redo it using this webpage link you gave me.
[03:17] <Kenb> 'Now should that be done from the live dvd?
[03:18] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10757210/
[03:19] <hkrrsx> Ok, restart networking and see if you have a STATIC v4 address and a DYNAMIC v6 address
[03:19] <hkrrsx> sudo ifconfig | grep inet
[03:19] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, that doesn't work at all.
[03:20] <hkrrsx> Which doesn't work ?
[03:20] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, the file I just showed you
[03:20] <cluelessperson> I can't reconnect to teamspeak
[03:21] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, weird, works now
[03:21] <hkrrsx> You had this issue the other day too
[03:21] <hkrrsx> It worked one minute and not the next
[03:22] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, you're sure the gateway is usable as a DNS?
[03:22] <Kenb> Whelp I suppose. I will have to go find a website showing how to completely remove Burg and reinstall grub2 which I know is very so much fun. Oh well if it blows away Ubuntu, I can probably recover from the DVD I hope.
[03:23] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: It's worked on mine
[03:23] <boring> ping timeout
[03:26] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, it works now, I just had to reset network twice
[03:26] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, interesting, no one in teamspeak noticed the interuptions
[03:26] <hkrrsx> Odd that you had to do so twice
[03:26] <cluelessperson> nice.
[03:27] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: You had UFW started earlier on
[03:27] <hkrrsx> Perhaps you can start it back up again
[03:27] <hkrrsx> You said that you wanted internal network protection
[03:28] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, I understand that no one can connect on a port that nothing is listening on
[03:28] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Precisely
[03:28] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, but I like to keep all ports that I don't personally use closed
[03:29] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, So if something happened to be installed accidentally, or without my knowledge, or something was broken, only the ports I want open are open
[03:29] <cluelessperson> good luck getting in on 22, 80, 3306. :P
[03:29] <cluelessperson> or 9987
[03:29] <hkrrsx> That's a good security practice
[03:34] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, so since we set the dns to <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:34] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, I guess the dns nameservers my isp gave me were incorrect and that was producing these issues/
[03:35] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: actually, your gateway/router is reaching out to the ISP's DNS servers which is why using <IP_ADDRESS> as a nameserver works at all
[03:35] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: You can leave <IP_ADDRESS> / <IP_ADDRESS> as backups in case your ISP's name servers should fail
[03:36] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: having backup name servers is also a good practice :)
[03:38] <hkrrsx> ... and to answer the question you actually asked, <IP_ADDRESS> also allows you to reach the resources on yuro local network, whereas Google or your local ISP's DNS are public
[03:39] <boring> who can tell me how to use goagent
[03:42] <hkrrsx> !offtopic | boring
[03:42] <Kenb> I guess there is no guide to removing burg other than to use synaptic to completely remove it.
[03:42] <hkrrsx> boring: also see  https://github.com/goagent/goagent
[03:43] <Kenb> I think the command to install grub2, But I guess I will just use Synaptic to do it all.
[03:43] <javnut> there's always something wrong with my ubuntu installation
[03:43] <Kenb> And then remove super-boot-manager which at first looked like a good idea but now may have been a bad idea?
[03:43] <javnut> something always crashes,or it says panic occurred switching back to text console
[03:43] <javnut> or it randomly logs me out
[03:44] <javnut> if I switch to a 64 bit installation, would that be able to help me out?

[03:45] <hkrrsx> javnut: What specifically is crashing?
[03:46] <javnut> hkrrsx: everything
[03:46] <hkrrsx> More specifically.
[03:46] <javnut> chromium,firefox,sometimes I get logged out
[03:46] <javnut> can't open netbeans sometimes
[03:46] <javnut> pulseaudio
[03:46] <javnut> everything just freezes
[03:46] <pavlos> javnut, have you done the usual update / upgrade?
[03:46] <hkrrsx> Are you sure it's a software problem?
[03:46] <hkrrsx> When things freeze, a lot of times it's a lack of resources issue
[03:46] <javnut> hkrrsx: no, but I can't upgrade hardware right now
[03:47] <hkrrsx> RAM or hard disk space
[03:47] <javnut> I've got enough RAM and disk space
[03:47] <javnut> some blocks might be corrupt, but there's enough still there
[03:47] <hkrrsx> Perhaps a FSCK ?
[03:48] <ramen69__> i just bluscreened due to a ram issue infact
[03:48] <javnut> hkrrsx: perhaps
[03:49] <javnut> I'll try it
[03:49] <hkrrsx> Good work
[03:50] <javnut> hkrrsx: I have to do that from the live cd right?
[03:51] <hkrrsx> javnut: Either that or via Recovery Mode (single user mode)
[03:53] <nahtnam> Is there a way I can encrypt my USB drive with a password, but be able to unlock it from any OS? (Cross-platform encryption)
[03:53] <nahtnam> Because I use a windows and ubuntu computer
[03:55] <dukey> I keep on getting installer errors. I was almost done and it said installer crashed
[03:56] <jason__> nahtnam, I've done that using TrueCrypt on windows, though it's not being maintained for Linux anymore (there are clones, though)
[03:56] <Bashing-om> dukedave: A thought. how much ram do you have ? ubuntu is resource hungry .
[03:57] <nahtnam> jason__: Thanks. Ill check it out. Do you know if this is cross-platform? http://www.howtogeek.com/115955/how-to-quickly-encrypt-removable-storage-devices-with-ubuntu/
[03:57] <Ben64> Bashing-om: no it isn't...
[03:58] <jason__> nahtnam, it also has the option of encrypting a container file rather than the whole volume
[03:58] <Bashing-om> Ben64: 2 Gigs for good performance ?
[03:58] <nahtnam> jason__: But its not cross platform?
[03:59] <Ben64> Bashing-om: depends on the desktop choice, but I wouldn't call ubuntu resource hungry compared to windows or whatever
[04:00] <jason__> nahtnam, not sure about the Ubuntu encryption thing. I'd guess not.

[04:03] <Ben64> Impaloo: i'd just use ssh
[04:03] <DazPetty> can anyone help me with my ftp?
[04:04] <duckey> can anyone help me with the installer issue I have been having
[04:04] <hkrrsx> Impaloo: FYI --  http://www.linuxscrew.com/2012/03/22/linux-monitoring-tools/
[04:04] <DazPetty> I can connect via "ftp localhost" and via "ftp 192.x.x.x" but I can't connect via "ftp public ipaddress"
[04:04] <Impaloo> Ben64: that's what I currently do know, but I don't really have access to authorized ssh clients as often as I'd like
[04:04] <duckey> Ben64, Were you born in 1964?
[04:05] <Ben64> duckey: maybe
[04:05] <duckey> So, yes
[04:05] <duckey> :)
[04:05] <mau5cat> hey
[04:05] <duckey> hi
[04:06] <hkrrsx> DazPetty: Do you have port 21 forwarded from your gateway/router to your internal FTP server?
[04:06] <mau5cat> q y cant i install ubuntu 14.04 on my ibm t42
[04:06] <hkrrsx> DazPetty: Also, does your internal FTP server have a static IP address assigned to it?
[04:07] <duckey> can anyone help me with the installer issue I have been having
[04:07] <DazPetty> hkrrsx yes,yes
[04:07] <DazPetty> the config says "connect_from_port_20=YES"
[04:08] <Impaloo> hkrrsx: thx
[04:08] <DazPetty> is that a prob?
[04:08] <hkrrsx> DazPetty: how about port 21 ?
[04:08] <hkrrsx> Impaloo: You got it :)
[04:08] <DazPetty> on my router i forward port 21 to my machine
[04:08] <hkrrsx> DazPetty: has your external IP changed ?
[04:09] <DazPetty> but the config file of vsftpd has " connect_from_port_20=YES " #make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20
[04:09] <hkrrsx> I presume your external IP is coming from your ISP
[04:09] <DazPetty> yeah my isp gives static ips
[04:09] <hkrrsx> Impressive
[04:09] <hkrrsx> What is that static IP, if you don't mind
[04:10] <duckey> I have a feeling thy are selling there customers data at a price :) lol
[04:10] <DazPetty> hkrrsx I pm'ed you
[04:10] <hkrrsx> DazPetty: Got it
[04:13] <duckey> can anyone help me with the installer issue I have been having

[04:56] <mallu> can someone tells me how I can tell nslcd to check local /etc/passwd first

[05:05] <cluelessperson> What's the way to check how many threads I have available?
[05:08] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: While it doesn't exactly answer your question, check this out:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/344203/maximum-number-of-threads-per-process-in-linux
[05:08] <tnkhanh> what would happen if I "make install" a project twice?
[05:09] <tnkhanh> Is the result the same if I do it once :-/
[05:10] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, interesting
[05:10] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, I mean more towards, cores x threads per core
[05:10] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Yeah, I had a feeling
[05:11] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, I need to confirm my dual core processor is utilizing all its virtual cores
[05:11] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, It's appearing as two cpus
[05:11] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: Try htop
[05:12] <hkrrsx> That'll give you an ncurses interface that shows CPU usage per core in graph form
[05:12] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, shows two cores
[05:13] <cluelessperson> I need to verify that there are 4 threads/virtual cores available totla
[05:13] <hkrrsx> Doesn't sound like there is on that processor
[05:13] <hkrrsx> However, you could run " sudo inxi -C " and that would tell you for certain
[05:13] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, it's a i3 4360, dual core
[05:14] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, didn't work
[05:14] <hkrrsx> Do you have inxi installed ?
[05:14] <TheC4mel> For some reason, every now and then my ubuntu session will crash sometimes, with a black screen, then it'll go back to the login page, and when I log in all of my opened applications are gone.
[05:14] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: well .... per http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116993 , it says that processor is a dual core with hyperthreading
[05:15] <hkrrsx> So there should be 4 "cores" that show up in htop
[05:15] <tnkhanh> TheC4mel: Wow you have problem
[05:15] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, yes, 4 virtual
[05:15] <Sl0P3> sweg
[05:15] <TheC4mel> tnkhanah: I know, that's why I came here. Lol
[05:16] <tnkhanh> TheC4mel: sorry I'm just spamming, I don't know the solution =='. Try turn off the login page?
[05:16] <hkrrsx> cluelessperson: unfortunately, i can't help you confirm that the software you're using is making efficient use of all 4 virtual cores
[05:17] <TheC4mel> Eh... Maybe my desktop session crashes/ goes blank sometimes because my computer ram is overloaded?
[05:17] <TheC4mel> I'm not sure
[05:17] <cluelessperson> hkrrsx, it's ubuntu server lol
[05:18] <hkrrsx> true
[05:18] <Sl0P3> ubuntu hacked me once
[05:19] <TheC4mel> Does anyone know why my Ubuntu session sometimes crashes?

[06:33] <DazPetty> I dont want a long password just for when I'm doing my thing at home on my comp
[06:33] <OerHeks> momken, press crl alt f2 for tty
[06:33] <OerHeks> momken, or ctrl alt f7 to return to a gui

[06:33] <DazPetty> but I'd like some additional security for my ftp / ssh, can anyone give me some recomendations
[06:33] <DazPetty> ?
[06:33] <momken> OerHeks, ctrl alt f7 works,  but not f1 - f6
[06:34] <OerHeks> momken, ctrl alt f2 can take 2.5 seconds to appear
[06:34] <OerHeks> not too fast
[06:34] <momken> OerHeks, It doesn't work at all
[06:36] <momken> OerHeks, I will go to ubuntu recovery then
[06:37] <Dashell> can anyone here provide support by chance?
[06:39] <cfhowlett> !ask | Dashell
[06:39] <Dashell> okay so i upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10, i noticed when I was upgrading the termimial gave out some errors like "Cannot find such and such" but at the end it said everything was fine
[06:40] <Dashell> when I restarted ,everything worked perfectly for the first hour or two, but then the song I was listening too, suddenly began to skip, the screen crashed and when it came back it was all fuzzy
[06:40] <Dashell> so I forced a restart and again everything worked fine but it just happened again
[06:41] <Dashell> i'm afraid i don't know how to explain it anymore than that, but if there's like... something I can run to look at crashes im sure someone can figure it out, thanks
[06:42] <cfhowlett> Dashell, lets' check: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:43] <Dashell> i did those right after i upgraded but ill do them again if you thnk it might help
[06:43] <Dashell> okay it's all upgraded
[06:44] <cfhowlett> Dashell, errors???
[06:44] <Dashell> i don't see any, no
[06:45] <cfhowlett> Dashell, you might find more info in your system logs
[06:45] <Dashell> okay can you explain in a bit more detail?  I don't know exactly where they are
[06:46] <dragly> Dashell: Have you tried reinstalling your graphics drivers? Sounds similar to experiences I've had with Nvidia.
[06:47] <Dashell> no i didn't do that
[06:47] <dragly> Could be worth the try if everything else fails.

[06:50] <Dashell> i just read about that and now i can't find it
[06:50] <dragly> Dashell: could be if your music app is locked up while drawing. Happens to me with Spotify sometimes.

[06:58] <Dashell> im sorry but how can i stop this printer error? It thnks IM trying to print something and I don't have a printer so I can't hook it up or anything
[06:58] <Dashell> and it pops up every 3 seconds
[06:59] <dragly> Dashell: You have an AMD graphics card then. I don't have much experience with those, but there is probably some info on reinstalling drivers online.
[06:59] <dragly> As for the printer error, I'm not sure what might be causing that.
[06:59] <Dashell> i must have hit print and now it just keeps trying to print, thre must be like a print queue or something
[06:59] <geirha> superrorc: dpkg has its own cache, yes. So assuming dpkg -l only outputs installed packages is an error
[07:01] <Dashell> oh weird, it was a test page
[07:03] <aliman> morning everyone
[07:03] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> hey ive got a problem that google cant fix....... when i download a program from the internet, cookie cadger now spiderfoot once its downloaded i am only able to view it as a folder not as a program i can click on and use... please help
[07:03] <aliman> can anyone help me a bit? i have been searching on google and so but couldn't find any help
[07:03] <Dashell> but i have a question, how do i check my system logs or is there an error log i can look at when it crashes?
[07:04] <hateball> !ask | aliman
[07:04] <aliman> i use skype and my mic is not working properly...but only on skype in rest is ok. the person i want to talk with can't hear me. i mean it can but a extremly low level almost hear nothing
[07:05] <cfhowlett> aliman, check skype volume settings
[07:05] <aliman> cfhowlett, all settings are ok
[07:06] <aliman> i even tried pavucontrol and still not working
[07:06] <Dashell> aliman i had that exact problem once, i remember i had to go into some weird volume control, cause the mic was turned all the way down
[07:06] <OerHeks> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS, what is "cookie cadger now spiderfoot" ?is it a hacking tool to put malware on websites?
[07:06] <OerHeks> not supported here mister
[07:07] <aliman> i found something like to move volume for front right speaker to 20% and front left speaker to 80% but still not working
[07:07] <Dashell> did you try alsamixer?
[07:07] <Dashell> aliman
[07:07] <Dashell> sorry i forgot to put your name in there
[07:08] <aliman> even if i move the speakers volume like in that tutorial when i make a call and i speak they automaticaly move back
[07:08] <Dashell> aliman, are you using alsamixer?
[07:09] <aliman> Dashell, no i haven't tried that yet
[07:09] <Dashell> try to get it
[07:09] <aliman> can i use sudo apt-get install alsamixer or i need anything else?
[07:09] <Dashell> that's what you need, it'll have te mic volume and you need to turn it iup
[07:09] <Dashell> i think so
[07:09] <Dashell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/Alsamixer
[07:10] <geirha> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: so apparently neither ubuntu nor the authors themselves have packaged this for Ubuntu, so you're left with installing from source. There's no recipe for installing from source other than "read the provided documentation and know what the necessary commands do"
[07:10] <OerHeks> geirha, it is a hackingtool, not supported here.
[07:10] <aliman> Dashell, E: Unable to locate package alsamixer
[07:11] <OerHeks> aliman, alsamixer is installed standard, type'alsamixer' in terminal
[07:11] <cfhowlett> cookie cadger is a "session hijacking tool" ... shudder
[07:11] <Dashell> try    apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss
[07:12] <aliman> OerHeks, is not pre-installed
[07:12] <OerHeks> aliman, it is.
[07:12] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> 0erheks, this isint about hacking i just used them as an example. my problem is with UBUNTU because when i download stuff from the web the app wont run and i am only able to view folders
[07:12] <aliman> well i just searched for alsamixer and found nothing
[07:12] <aliman> OerHeks, only a doc file called alsa-util.service
[07:12] <cfhowlett> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS, if your example didn't specify known hacking tools ...
[07:13] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> geirha, thank you so just to confirm i need to read the documentation and basicley follow the instructions and use command line to make it a usable app
[07:13] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> desueme then jeez cfhowlett
[07:14] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> if anyone else wants to weigh in on this about turning apps to from a folder to a useable app would be emensely apreciated

[07:18] <momomo> Is there a way to stop the unity application switcher from stop grouping same applications into one?
[07:19] <momomo> The compiz switchers have a problem when used with several monitors as it can't be shown consistently on any monitor, so don't suggest that one.
[07:22] <momken> Hello
[07:23] <boring> hello
[07:23] <momken> What's equivalent to lightdm/gdm in ubuntu 14.04?
[07:23] <aliman> i see an extension adblock and adblock plus. which one is better?
[07:23] <momken> I always use xubuntu, so I am not familiar with unity and its graphic stack
[07:23] <OerHeks> momken, ubuntu uses lightdm
[07:24] <_ACID__> adblock plus is better
[07:25] <OerHeks> aliman, both can be detected by websites and get paid to let ads trough
[07:25] <aliman> OerHeks, what you mean?
[07:25] <OerHeks> aliman, what part do you not understand?
[07:25] <boring> which one could tell me how to use goagent
[07:26] <aliman> aaa i think now i understand after reading 2nd time. so do you know any other better extension?
[07:26] <kohaner> how
[07:26] <momken> OerHeks, I want to follow instructions here to install nvidia 334.21 on ubuntu 14.04: http://askubuntu.com/questions/425140/unable-toboot-with-nvidia-gtx-750-ti-even-with-latest-beta-drivers
[07:27] <momken> OerHeks, At the final step I have to stop gdm or lightdm service
[07:27] <momken> OerHeks, But I can't
[07:27] <boring> i am new here
[07:27] <momken> OerHeks, When I do "sudo service lightdm stop", it starts again in all my ttys
[07:27] <boring> who can teach me
[07:27] <Ben64> momken: don't install nvidia that way
[07:28] <cfhowlett> !details | boring,
[07:28] <OerHeks> momken, switch to ctrl alt f2: sudo service lightdm stop. then install the driver and run sudo service lightdm start
[07:28] <OerHeks> momken, i would use the driver tool within softwarecenter
[07:28] <Ben64> momken: using this ppa is a much better option -- https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[07:29] <OerHeks> Ben64 +1 only if you need a newer driver than available
[07:29] <momken> Ben64, I did it these steps for installing nvidia on xubuntu and it worked.
[07:30] <Ben64> OerHeks: which the gtx 750 needs
[07:30] <boring> How to use goagent over the wall
[07:30] <Ben64> momken: until the next kernel update, sure
[07:31] <kohaner> How to use goagent over the wall
[07:31] <cfhowlett> http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrTcd6thyNV5EIAt0UnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTBydmltOXB0BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNgRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dGlkAw--/RV=2/RE=1428420653/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2ffreenuts.com%2fhow-to-install-and-use-goagent%2f/RK=0/RS=i2TpmpoAf1M3BkZeJKSkL7evXbc-
[07:31] <OerHeks> kohaner, what is goagent over the wall?
[07:31] <OerHeks> url?
[07:32] <aliman> does anyone knows any better extension then adblock that cant both can be detected by websites and get paid to let ads trough like OerHeks said?
[07:35] <hateball> aliman: I find µBlock to be better in that aspect
[07:36] <momken> Ben64, Thank you very much. I added that PPA. Now what package should I install?
[07:36] <momken> I need nvidia 334.21
[07:37] <Ben64> momken: you don't need 334.21, you need a driver that will support your card
[07:37] <OerHeks> momken, after adding, go to the drivermenu, it will show newer drivers
[07:38] <Ben64> that ppa has up to 349, so i'd say use 349
[07:38] <momken> Ben64, Thanks
[07:38] <aliman> hateball, thank you
[07:38] <kohaner> 没有中国人？
[07:38] <cfhowlett> !cn | kohaner
[07:38] <momken> OerHeks, thank you very much too :)
[07:39] <aliman> my web pages loads much faster without ads
[07:40] <hunteriam> guys, how do i boot from a different device without using BIOS?
[07:41] <OerHeks> hunteriam, not. bios handles bootdevice choise
[07:41] <hunteriam> ive read you could choose to boot from a usb via grub, is grub not a post bios thing?
[07:43] <OerHeks> hunteriam, that would be possible, but you still boot from the device selected in your bios
[07:43] <hunteriam> ... but you also boot from the usb stick?
[07:44] <hunteriam> eh i guess its just not possible
[07:45] <OerHeks> hunteriam, after booting grub, you could load the USB, i never done that personally
[07:45] <hunteriam> how do i boot grub instead of ubuntu?
[07:45] <aliman> my mic is still not working. i tried with gnome alsa mixer but cant make it
[07:46] <hunteriam> OerHeks:
[07:46] <aliman> and its only bad on skype
[07:46] <hunteriam> aliman: check your skype sound settings?
[07:46] <aliman> hunteriam, yes i did
[07:47] <hunteriam> gl, i hate sound issues
[07:47] <OerHeks> hunteriam, hold shift @ boot
[07:47] <hunteriam> thanks!
[07:47] <hunteriam> ill try it once
[07:50] <fearless> hello can anyone tell me a good command line bit to byte calculator?
[07:52] <geirha> bc <<< "ibase=2; 01010101"
[07:53] <fearless> geirha can i do like how many MB does 209890 bits has?
[07:53] <OerHeks> 209890/8
[07:53] <geirha> fearless: That's different. You just divide by 8
[07:54] <SCHAAP137> x bits / 8 = x bytes
[07:56] <rblst> hello all, i have a mobile internet modem that creates a wired network, but it is disabled (greyed out) in NetworkManager, 12.04 LTS; how to enable it?
[07:56] <fearless> geirha I need to make a program to convert bit to byte, example 1 bit to 1 byte etc can you tell me what i need to know? or use?
[07:57] <aliman> can anyone tell me why anytime i log into ubuntu i need to enter the pass for unlocking the keyring and how i get rid of it?
[07:57] <OerHeks> fearless, 1 mb = 8 bits x 1024 bytes x 1024 bytes,  so 209890 / 8388608 = 0,025020838 mb exactly
[07:58] <OerHeks> aliman, normally when the keyring pass is the same as you account, you would not need to double unlock
[07:58] <aliman> well is the same
[07:58] <Dashell> okay nowi have a new problem, the entire screen shifted to the left and the proper driver for my graphics card isn't even listed anymore
[07:59] <Dashell> *shifted to the right, there's a big black spot on the left, sorry
[07:59] <Dashell> when i go to "display" it says laptop
[08:00] <Dashell> im not using a laptop
[08:00] <Dashell> i can't believe i thought i was smart enough to do stuff like this
[08:20] <mickyu> can anyone tell me a good commandline  bit to byte calculator ex 1 bit to 1 byte conversion
[08:21] <PCatinean> Hey guys I run a python script in a cron but I do not get any output, any idea why that is hapening?
[08:21] <PCatinean> I'm doing > /tmp/bla
[08:21] <PCatinean> running manually works but with cron nothing happens
[08:21] <shiv> hi everyone i want to snmp agent with my linux debian distribution machine. As i can installed snmp deb package. but i want to integrate new mib with agent so that it can include new features, Can anyone guide me how i can add new MIB with handles with Agent and then compile, create a deb package to install on machine and verify it
[08:22] <mickyu> all those bit to byte conversion calculators are online i need an offline program
[08:23] <mickyu> is there any command line bit to byte conversion out there? like a script or something
[08:23] <shiv> Is there anyone who can assist
[08:23] <shiv> me
[08:23] <Sohail-Ahmed> shiv ask!
[08:24] <Sohail-Ahmed> !ask shiv
[08:24] <somsip> !ask | shiv
[08:24] <shiv> any ref guidance to implement MIB with snmp agent and generate a deb package
[08:25] <somsip> shiv: admittedly, you had explained yourself but that was for Sohail-Ahmed really. I forgot the content asked for details again
[08:25] <shiv> hi everyone i want to snmp agent with my linux debian distribution machine. As i can installed snmp deb package. but i want to integrate new mib with agent so that it can include new features, Can anyone guide me how i can add new MIB with handles with Agent and then compile, create a deb package to install on machine and verify it
[08:26] <Dashell> i can't select any proprietary drivers
[08:26] <Dashell> this is just insane
[08:26] <OerHeks> Dashell, prop driver for ..?
[08:27] <Dashell> amd/ati card i gues
[08:27] <Dashell> i dunno what happened my entire screen shifted to the right, there's a big blank spot on the left
[08:27] <htqp> !debian
[08:28] <OerHeks> Dashell, what amd/aticard exactly ? " lspci | grep VGA " # this command should show one line, paste that here
[08:29] <Dashell> um
[08:29] <Dashell> No command 'spci' found, did you mean:  Command 's2ci' from package 'scheme2c' (universe)  Command 'xpci' from package 'xdiagnose' (main)  Command 'sci' from package 'scheme2c' (universe)  Command 'lspci' from package 'pciutils' (main)  Command 'spc' from package 'supercat' (universe) spci: command not found
[08:29] <k3asd`> quit
[08:29] <PCatinean> */2 * * * * python /opt/bla/test.py > /tmp/output_test and the script has print "hello" and still does not run
[08:29] <OerHeks> Dashell, why paste an error you made? LSPCI !
[08:29] <Dashell> cause im dumb and he told me to paste the thing
[08:30] <Dashell> and i thought maybe the error would tell why it wasn't working
[08:30] <OerHeks> lspci | grep VGA
[08:30] <Dashell> im sorry
[08:31] <Dashell> only thing i can think of is my graphic card crashed and it went back to the default one but i have no idea what to do about it
[08:32] <Dashell> anyways ill go now, sorry for bothering you, i just wanted some help
[08:32] <OerHeks> Dashell, please take your time, it is not that hard.
[08:32] <Dashell> i posted what you said, and got an error
[08:32] <Dashell> i potsed the same thing earlier and got a different respons
[08:33] <OerHeks> Dashell, you skipped the L >>>  lspci | grep VGA
[08:34] <Dashell> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Oland PRO [Radeon R7 240]\
[08:34] <Dashell> that's i think what it said before
[08:36] <Dashell> the drivers are listed, i just can't select them
[08:37] <OerHeks> Dashell, maybe this ati page is any help ( i do not have ati myself)  >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[08:38] <Dashell> i was looking at that, i just don't understand why it'd suddenly stop working when it was working fine 15 minutes ago
[08:39] <k1l> see dmesg for errors then
[08:40] <k1l> (if you want to know what happend)
[08:41] <Dashell> can you elaborate?
[08:46] <k1l> Dashell: you said you want to know what happend so it stopped working. dmesg lists system messages since boot. to type "dmesg" into terminal and see what error happend
[08:47] <Dashell> i did but i guess i thought i was looking for something specific... and i mean it's been going on SINCE i rebooted
[08:48] <k1l> ofcourse you can look into the xorg.log too
[08:48] <k1l> you will find the logs in /var/log/
[08:49] <Dashell> i've restarted twice and the screen is still to the right... im trying to install something else now
[08:49] <Dashell> the system gave an error when it restarted a bout running in low resource mode or something idk, i couldn't read it cause it was on the right side of the screen
[08:50] <k1l> Dashell: without looking into the logs or at least providing those logs we can just guess form the info you think its important.
[08:50] <Dashell> do you want me to post the whole log?
[08:50] <Dashell> it was kinda long
[08:51] <k1l> !paste | Dashell
[08:51] <Dashell> here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/10759651/
[08:53] <k1l> Dashell: what gives you "uname -a"?
[08:53] <shiv> @somsip
[08:53] <Dashell> Linux FredII 3.16.0-33-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 12 12:19:35 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[08:53] <shiv> can u guide me?
[08:53] <Dashell> is that what you mean?
[08:53] <k1l> yep
[08:55] <k1l> Dashell: please run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[08:55] <k1l> Dashell: and how did you install your video driver? from ubuntu or from some website?
[08:55] <Dashell> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[08:56] <Dashell> you know and when I install 14.04 it just worked
[08:56] <Dashell> it was just there, which is why Im so confused now
[08:56] <Dashell> i never had to install anything from the site or anything
[08:56] <k1l> Dashell: "sudo apt-get install fglrx"
[08:59] <marus> hello, i have OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.4) (7u75-2.5.4-1~trusty1) already installed
[08:59] <Dashell> it's installed
[08:59] <aliman> is it nautilus a program or is only that hiden folder from home?
[08:59] <marus> and i want to install oracle java, should i purge the last one first?
[08:59] <k1l> aliman: nautilus is the file browser
[08:59] <aliman> Give skype.sh execution rights by browsing with Nautilus over there, right click on the file, go to Properties, go to Permissions tab, and select "Execute" for the user.
[08:59] <aliman> Double click on the file and you should be done.
[08:59] <aliman> i dont exactly understand what i need to do here
[09:00] <k1l> aliman: no need to follow that howto. enable the partner repo and install skype from the repo
[09:00] <k1l> !skype | aliman
[09:00] <aliman> i found that file skype.sh i right pressed it went to permissions and i checked the execute but my intup still not working
[09:00] <marus> do i have to remove openjdk befor installing oracle java?
[09:00] <k1l> aliman: no need for that.
[09:01] <aliman> i know guys this is not for installing skype i have installed it already
[09:01] <Dashell> isn't Skype in the software center?
[09:01] <OerHeks> marus, see the java page, howto select the java you want https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[09:01] <k1l> aliman: see the link the bot mentioned
[09:01] <marus> OerHeks: i have see that
[09:01] <marus> OerHeks: do i have to remove openjdk befor installing oracle java?
[09:01] <Dashell> im going to restart and see if anything happens, brb
[09:01] <OerHeks> marus, no, not as far as i know
[09:02] <marus> OerHeks: okay that help, thanks
[09:02] <aliman> ubottu, why do i need that recording stufF? i have a prob with the input my contacts cant hear me
[09:03] <k1l> aliman: you dont need that recording stuff
[09:04] <aliman> yeah well ubo gave me 2 links 1 for installing skype (i did that already) and 2 something for recording (i dont need it)
[09:04] <k1l> aliman: so what do you want to do with skype.sh?
[09:04] <aliman> i need something to make my mic work and my contacts hear me
[09:04] <k1l> aliman: what is the issue?
[09:05] <leeyaa> hello
[09:05] <leeyaa> is there any package that can allow me to enable iptables extensions for a kernel that does not have them enabled ?
[09:05] <Dashell> !paste
[09:05] <leeyaa> i need string module
[09:05] <aliman> i found some howto on help ubuntu webpage. my mic isnt working k1l. my contacts cant hear me when i call them
[09:06] <aliman> and from there i got that skype.sh
[09:06] <Dashell> okay I think i figured out the problem
[09:06] <Dashell> http://imgur.com/CV83Jrq
[09:06] <Dashell> i screencapped the error when it showed up, the screen is still pushed to the right, but it must be because of that
[09:07] <cfhowlett> Dashell, mint?
[09:07] <Dashell> ubutu
[09:07] <Dashell> *ubuntu sorry
[09:07] <cfhowlett> Dashell, it SAYS mint
[09:07] <mekia> hello everyone i am running Ubuntu studio and the sound drops for no reason  i am running on a mac mini dual booting manjaro linux
[09:08] <Dashell> it's ubuntu 14.10, i just upgraded
[09:08] <Dashell> where does it say Mint?
[09:08] <cfhowlett> Dashell, lower left is the mint icon.  and that is NOT ubuntu.
[09:08] <codepeak> Umm.. Just installed a fresh minimal installation of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS… And php5-fpm is missing?
[09:08] <Dashell> well Cinnamon is usually used for mint, right?
[09:08] <Dashell> d oyou want me to switch to Lubuntu?
[09:09] <somsip> codepeak: not installed as default
[09:09] <leeyaa> Dashell: lol at your desktop
[09:09] <EriC^^> Dashell: is this a vm?
[09:09] <Dashell> no it's not a VM
[09:09] <Dashell> it's... just my computer
[09:09] <codepeak> somsip: Yeah, I know… But doing a apt-cache search fpm doesn’t find it either… Is it in some other apt repo?
[09:09] <somsip> !find fpm
[09:09] <codepeak> !find fom
[09:09] <codepeak> !find fpm
[09:09] <Dashell> leeyaa, that's Maud :D
[09:09] <leeyaa> codepeak: apt-cache search php | grep fpm
[09:10] <leeyaa> it should be available
[09:10] <Dashell> ill switch to lubuntu
[09:10] <somsip> codepeak: the bot is a bit slow today. So php5-fpm
[09:10] <leeyaa> yeah its php5-fpm
[09:10] <codepeak> leeyaa:  yeah, i know. tried it, done it thousands of times… but no results are given. just cgi
[09:10] <leeyaa> codepeak: check your repos
[09:10] <leeyaa> maybe they are messed up
[09:10] <somsip> codepeak: apt-get update?
[09:10] <EriC^^> Dashell: i get that error in some vms
[09:11] <leeyaa> anyone on my iptables question ?
[09:11] <Dashell_> never mind, i can't switch because i can't hit the thing in the upper right corner to switch
[09:11] <aliman> ok i cannot find a solution for my problem
[09:11] <EriC^^> Dashell: i get that error in some vms
[09:11] <codepeak> leeyaa: yeah, looking through them now and comparing to older installations of 14.04 to see what’s missing. maybe it’s the image my vps provider using that has done something :)
[09:11] <leeyaa> codepeak: i can give you my default sources list
[09:11] <leeyaa> it has php5-fpm for sure
[09:12] <leeyaa> without external ppas
[09:12] <Dashell_> is there a way to switch desktops without being able to go into the right corner?
[09:12] <leeyaa> Dashell_: terminal
[09:12] <leeyaa> set a shortcut or something
[09:12] <codepeak> leeyaa: you have a running 14.04 installation and could share your sources.list file?
[09:13] <codepeak> leeyaa: hmm… i wonder if it’s the extras that’s missing..
[09:13] <somsip> !info php5-fpm
[09:13] <codepeak> universe… hmm
[09:13] <somsip> codepeak: in universe ^^^
[09:14] <leeyaa> codepeak: https://bpaste.net/show/ac0c41c1d037 this "should" be exactly default, but i am not 100% sure
[09:14] <Dashell_> oh, thanks
[09:14] <leeyaa> dont mind the 12.04 at the top
[09:14] <codepeak> finally!
[09:14] <codepeak> Thank you very much! :)
[09:14] <codepeak> universe ftw :)
[09:15] <mekia> hello everyone i am running Ubuntu studio and the sound drops for no reason  i am running on a mac mini dual booting manjaro linux
[09:16] <Dashell_> permission denied even though I'm root
[09:20] <Ben64> Dashell_: permission denied doing what
[09:20] <Dashell_> im trying to switch desktops using the terminal
[09:21] <Ben64> what are you typing
[09:21] <Dashell_> cause my screen m ove to the right and i can't see anything on the right side, there's a blank on the left
[09:21] <Dashell_> lemme find what i was looking at
[09:21] <Ben64> wait you're on mint?
[09:21] <Dashell_> i did /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/*.conf
[09:21] <Dashell_> no
[09:21] <Dashell_> im using ubuntu
[09:22] <Dashell_> i just upgraded to ubuntu 14.10
[09:22] <Dashell_> i've been using lubuntu up until today when I tried to go back to cinnamon but things went downhill from there
[09:23] <Ben64> "/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/*.conf" isn't a command
[09:23] <Dashell_> i thought switching desktops might help i guess
[09:23] <Dashell_> oh yeah
[09:23] <Dashell_> i need the actual file name don't I?
[09:23] <Ben64> ...no
[09:23] <k1l> leeyaa: ask your hoster if it blocks the kernel modules
[09:23] <Dashell_> i was reading this
[09:23] <Dashell_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Change_the_Default_Session
[09:23] <k1l> Dashell_: just choose lubuntu on the login screen
[09:23] <Ben64> thats not what you said you were trying to do
[09:23] <Dashell_> i can't
[09:23] <leeyaa> k1l: im my own hoster
[09:24] <k1l> why you cant? because you are on mint?
[09:24] <k1l> or using mint ppas?
[09:24] <leeyaa> dom0 has that module, just domU kernel doesnt
[09:24] <Dashell_> no becuase my screen moved to the right
[09:24] <Dashell_> im not using mint
[09:24] <leeyaa> because it is not enabled it seems
[09:24] <leeyaa> i mean not build int
[09:24] <Dashell_> i dunno if im using mint ppas
[09:24] <Dashell_> lemme try to log out again, hang on
[09:25] <Dashell> sorry about that
[09:25] <Dashell> but yeah my screen move to the right
[09:25] <luc4> Hello! When in VT it seems there is no automount of usb disks. Any idea whether it is possible to enable it?
[09:29] <Dashell> what?
[09:29] <Dashell> oh that wasn't me
[09:29] <Dashell> okay so this is what i'm talking about here:  http://s13.postimg.org/ikyolvtdz/100_2674.jpg
[09:29] <Dashell> that's y screen, i can't get to anything on the right
[09:30] <k1l> Dashell: its not loading your video driver. i dont know  if its the driver or the cinnamon from some ppa.
[09:31] <Dashell> okay so... i mean we could rule out cinnamon if I could get to another desktop... right?
[09:31] <k1l> Dashell: yes. log out. and choose the other desktop on the login screen, if it wasnt a mint anyway. then go back to their support
[09:31] <Dashell> okay, if i log out, the screen is still to the right
[09:32] <Dashell> the log in screen is the same thing, it's pushed to the right, so I can't go to the right upper corner to select the other desktops
[09:32] <Ben64> its not in the corner
[09:32] <Dashell> it's not?... weird, it is for me
[09:32] <k1l> Dashell: its not the upper right corner. so you are not using a ubuntu.
[09:32] <Ben64> maybe you're on mint?
[09:32] <Dashell> but i... just upgraded to ubuntu 14.10
[09:33] <Dashell> the only thing I did was install Cinnamon, it even loads up and says "Lubuntu"
[09:33] <cfhowlett> Dashell, upgraded from WHAT? exactly
[09:33] <Dashell> ubuntu 14.04
[09:33] <Dashell> i was using Lubuntu until today, then I saw Cinnamon came out with a new version that you could add to ubuntu
[09:33] <Dashell> so I tried it
[09:33] <Ben64> how
[09:33] <k1l> Dashell: please pastebin "lsb_release -d" , " cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d"

[09:35] <cfhowlett> dashell so PPA confirmed ...
[09:35] <Dashell> http://pastebin.com/TQ6p04pz
[09:36] <cfhowlett> Dashell, also, you DID see this right?  "If you favour stability you should not upgrade to Cinnamon 2.4 in Ubuntu yet."
[09:37] <Dashell> i saw people saying it was working fine so I just trusted them
[09:37] <cfhowlett> Dashell, and yet it say, RIGHT THERE ... :)
[09:37] <Dashell> well fine
[09:37] <Dashell> so ... what do I do?
[09:38] <k1l> Dashell: "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" in a pastebin please
[09:38] <Dashell> i know
[09:38] <Dashell> for some reason every time i try to paste it it desn't work
[09:39] <Dashell> it literally will not let me copy it
[09:39] <Dashell> it's like i'm in a nightmare
[09:39] <cfhowlett> Dashell, sudo apt-get install pastebinit        then it automagically pastes.  e.g.    dpkg -l | pastebinit       will paste up a url
[09:40] <k1l> Dashell: "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d | pastebinit"  after pastebinit is installed
[09:40] <Dashell> cool
[09:40] <Dashell> thanks

[09:45] <chotaz`work> Anyone knows of a good alternative to Caffeine-Plus or Caffeine? Apparently Caffeine-Plus is not working on buuntu 14.10
[09:47] <OerHeks> chotaz`work, did you install caffeine-plus from ppa? https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/ubuntu/webupd8/+packages
[09:48] <k1l> Dashell: from the description of the cinnamon you use: This PPA contains nightly builds for the Cinnamon desktop environment.  /!\ WARNING : Nightly builds are unstable, use only for debugging purposes /!\ Supported releases : Trusty
[09:48] <Dashell> oh no, i must have downloaded the wrong thing
[09:49] <Dashell> everything happened so fast
[09:49] <cfhowlett> Dashell, this thread gets better and better :)
[09:49] <chotaz`work> OerHeks, Yep, I've followed the Webupd8 tut on adding caffeine-plus. Maybe the fact im using MATE?
[09:49] <OerHeks> jjavaholic, what do you want us to do with that pastebin?
[09:49] <k1l> Dashell: "sudo ppa-purge ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly"
[09:50] <OerHeks> chotaz`work, maybe it is not suitable for mate, i don't know
[09:50] <Dashell> although honestly, it was acting up BEFORE i tried this, so... im not sure if this'll help but here goes
[09:50] <jjavaholic> help me understand what is going on there
[09:50] <OerHeks> jjavaholic, beats me, it does not show what you try to do
[09:51] <OerHeks> !details | jjavaholic
[09:51] <jjavaholic> open a new tab in firefox
[09:52] <jjavaholic> then load youtube video
[09:52] <jjavaholic> which crashes
[09:52] <k1l> Dashell: after the relogin do a "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[09:52] <iptable> jjavaholic, GPU driver issue? it's screaming about opengl
[09:53] <iptable> jjavaholic, what graphics card do you have and how did you install the drivers for it?
[09:53] <jjavaholic> nvidia 9800GT nvidia-331
[09:54] <MLLLLL> hi
[09:55] <chotaz`work> !touch
[09:56] <jjavaholic> I have been having hardware acceleration problems ever since 14.04
[09:57] <edition> how can I install the Intel HD Graphics driver for xubuntu?
[09:57] <iptable> jjavaholic, did you / how did you install drivers for it?
[09:57] <cfhowlett> edition, what ubuntu do you have
[09:57] <iptable> edition, Intel uses open driver, it's already there
[09:58] <Dashell> okay can you tell me the thing to paste bin again?
[09:58] <Dashell> btw, this is my log in page, it has always looked like this:  http://s22.postimg.org/5s1qx3dxd/100_2675.jpg

[09:59] <k1l> Dashell: after the relogin do a "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[09:59] <edition> the quality of HD movie playback in VLC is inconsistent.

[10:01] <k1l> BlueMagma: better ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:01] <Dashell> well there we go
[10:01] <k1l> Dashell: sudo apt-get install --reinstall fglrx
[10:01] <k1l> Dashell: and put all the output into a paste again.
[10:01] <BlueMagma> OerHeks: Ho, sorry, I didn't know, I will ask it there. Thank you

[10:02] <k1l> Dashell: ppa-purge that cinnamon ppa like i said
[10:02] <Dashell> i did :(
[10:02] <Dashell> i did it like you said and it started up in some minimum thing
[10:03] <k1l> that obviously went wrong.
[10:03] <k1l> "sudo apt-get purge cinnamon"
[10:03] <edition> well, its laggy to say the least, and the player drops frames. I found that the playback was improved by resizing the video using ffmpeg to 720x1280.
[10:04] <k1l> Dashell: if you dont tell us whats going on (or wrong) or show us the exact output we guess that all is going right.
[10:04] <Dashell> okay here's the problem
[10:04] <Dashell> i got the same error message, probably because im running in some minimal form of cinnamon
[10:04] <Dashell> this >>http://s22.postimg.org/5s1qx3dxd/100_2675.jpg is my log in screen, the way to change desktops has always been in the top right corner
[10:05] <k1l> Dashell: what command did you use and what was the output and error?
[10:05] <edition> CPU Info: http://www.pasteall.org/57705
[10:06] <iptable> edition, 1. what CPU, how much RAM you have, 2. is this video on local drive or goes via some net, 3. free -m - for free ram?, 4. uptime - what's the load avg., 5. lsmod |grep -i "intel|3d|accel"
[10:07] <Dashell> okay so once again it will not let me copy for some reason so here
[10:07] <iptable> edition, 6. does it happen if you run that video on a stock ubuntu (which you can boot from liveCD/liveUSB)

[10:10] <mllll> what is defference between ubuntu and lubuntu?
[10:10] <iptable> Dashell, have you tried apt-get -f install, as suggested?
[10:10] <cfhowlett> !flavors | mllll
[10:10] <k1l> !lubuntu | mllll
[10:10] <iptable> mllll, ubuntu is ubuntu with unity UI shell, lubuntu uses LXDE UI

[10:11] <iptable> edition, RAM + CPU use during video playback please
[10:11] <k1l> Dashell: holy moly. that is going to be more difficult than it should have been from the start
[10:11] <mllll> tanks
[10:11] <iptable> edition, I believe your problem is playing mp4 high encoded videos on dual-core celeron, not the graphics driver, but it's just a guess atm
[10:12] <Dashell> i am root though
[10:12] <Dashell> that's ... why I'm so confused, i installed this myself
[10:12] <edition> It was encoded from my Canon Powershot G16 camera.
[10:12] <k1l> Dashell: do you have other terminals open? or the software center?
[10:12] <Dashell> i've never had a problem like this before
[10:12] <iptable> edition, encoded as what?
[10:12] <iptable> edition, vod/mp4/m4v/avi/h.264?
[10:12] <Dashell> i had two at the time of the last thing I posted
[10:12] <Dashell> now i have 0
[10:13] <k1l> try again
[10:13] <edition> h264 and aac
[10:13] <Dashell> nope, the same thin, I'm sorry kll
[10:13] <iptable> edition, h264 IS heavy.Do you have problems playing other videos? like for example divx/xvid?
[10:13] <iptable> edition, please provide full lsmod in pastebin and load averages + ram use while playing videos.
[10:13] <Dashell> maybe I should just start over from scratch
[10:13] <edition> ok

[10:15] <buntuer> greetings ubuntuers
[10:15] <buntuer> how are you
[10:15] <buntuer> i have a simple question
[10:15] <buntuer> if someone can help
[10:15] <iptable> buntuer, ask
[10:15] <buntuer> i updated ubuntu from 12 to 14
[10:16] <OerHeks> buntuer, all in one line please
[10:16] <iptable> buntuer, and stop pressing ENTER every half sentence please!
[10:16] <buntuer> and now i'm not able to list files on the other paritions
[10:16] <buntuer> I'm sorry
[10:16] <iptable> buntuer, how are you trying to list files? what other partitions? are they mounted?
[10:17] <buntuer> yes the nautilus is able to see all the files but not in the terminal
[10:17] <yossarianuk> hi is 15.04 going to run unity8  by default ?
[10:17] <buntuer> in terminal i'm using this command cd /media/DRIVE\ 2/
[10:17] <OerHeks> yossarianuk, no, unity 7.4 AFAIK
[10:18] <iptable> buntuer, so you are trying to browse shares mounted by nautilus in command prompt?
[10:18] <edition> http://www.pasteall.org/57706
[10:18] <buntuer> yes exactly i was able to do it with the older version of ubuntu before update and since i updated 14 it sucks
[10:18] <yossarianuk> OerHeks: cheers - so does that mean 15.10 will have it as default ?
[10:19] <buntuer> when i make ls in DRIVE 2 it list nothing at all
[10:19] <yossarianuk> buntuer: In my experience use dolphin (the KDE file manager) for accessing network shares (it works in unity also..) - this may not be popular here....
[10:20] <buntuer> i thought that using gksudo nautilus and change the permissions for the drives to my user name will fix the situation but it didn't
[10:20] <OerHeks> buntuer, try: ls -la # to show all files for all users
[10:20] <iptable> edition, is Valley View even 3d-accelerated? looks like you are running HW that is slightly too old for latest h264 encodes. try older divx/xvid .avi videos, see if you can play those, to confirm.
[10:21] <buntuer> this is what i get bash: cd: /media/DRIVE 2/ls: No such file or directory
[10:21] <buntuer> ohh sorry i get this drwxr-xr-x 2 ergu ergu 4096 Apr  6 12:06 .
[10:21] <buntuer> drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Apr  7 11:46 ..
[10:22] <k1l> yossarianuk: no
[10:22] <k1l> yocapybara: no decision yet when unity 8 with MIR will be defailt
[10:22] <k1l> *au
[10:22] <k1l> yossarianuk: ^
[10:23] <OerHeks> 15.10 is too far away to tell
[10:24] <buntuer> any idea guys?
[10:25] <yossarianuk> OerHeks: k1l: thanks - i was under impression 15.04 was having unity 8... I know its not really ready for desktop usage so glad its not the dfault at present...
[10:25] <OerHeks> buntuer, ah, you have a space in the drive name?
[10:25] <OerHeks> buntuer, i really never understood that space in name thing.
[10:25] <buntuer> it doesn't matter
[10:26] <OerHeks> buntuer, yes it does, cd /media/DRIVE 2 does not work
[10:26] <iptable> buntuer, cd /media/DRIVE\ 2
[10:26] <OerHeks> buntuer, cd "/media/DRIVE 2"  maybe
[10:26] <buntuer> cd /media/DRIVE\ 2/
[10:26] <buntuer>  this works
[10:27] <yossarianuk> End of April is going to be a busy month - 15.04 (ubuntu + kubuntu - I run both) and Debian 8 ....
[10:29] <chotaz`work> Anyone has any suggestion regarding alternatives to Caffeine-Plus?=
[10:30] <chotaz`work> yossarianuk, i know right, I just finished setting up my machine(ubuntuMATE) and will have to fresh install again in a few weeks :(
[10:31] <Dashell> i guess it's late
[10:31] <Dashell> so i should go
[10:31] <Dashell> i appreciate those who tried to help
[10:33] <yossarianuk> chotaz`work: you could always upgrade....
[10:33] <yossarianuk> (one of the benefits of being debian based.....)
[10:33] <chotaz`work> yossarianuk, haven't really had a clean upgrade ever..
[10:34] <arcsky> does this mean reboot?
[10:34] <arcsky><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:34] <arcsky> M +46 73 2365 346
[10:34] <zetheroo> In Ubuntu 14.04 does one still have to edit the smb.conf file to get file sharing to work between Ubuntu and Windows machines?
[10:34] <arcsky> ups
[10:34] <arcsky> i mean sudo restart
[10:35] <iptable> zetheroo, you can use the GUI
[10:36] <zetheroo> For example... I have 2 Ubuntu 14.04 laptops here on the home network - both have their Public folders shared via the right-click menu (Sharing Options), but when going to browse the network neither of the laptops are visible to each other
[10:36] <zetheroo> I tried using that Samba config GUI tool but that doesn;t work either
[10:36] <zetheroo> shares are created but computers cannot see one another in the Network browsing
[10:37] <iptable> zetheroo, how about the official method: right-click on a directory, click "Sharing", tick the "share" tickbox
[10:37] <iptable> zetheroo, forget about browsing, from windows connnect to \\<IP_ADDRESS> (replace with IP of your linux box)
[10:37] <m1dnight_> guys, I just noticed that my ssh config file always points to the public key on my client side
[10:37] <zetheroo> iptable: that the aforementioned method I used ... "Sharing options" in the right-click menu ... no!?
[10:37] <m1dnight_> shouldnt this be the private key?
[10:38] <iptable> zetheroo, to connect from ubuntu to windows, connect to location "smb://<IP_ADDRESS>" (still, replace location
[10:38] <iptable> zetheroo, and the bit when I said forget about browsing network, connect straight to IP?
[10:39] <iptable> zetheroo, forget about browsing, from windows connnect to \\<IP_ADDRESS> (replace with IP of your linux box)
[10:39] <zetheroo> iptable: I shouldn't have to input the IP address every time ... no!?
[10:39] <iptable> zetheroo, please try it to see if sharing works!?!
[10:39] <iptable> zetheroo, makes sense to troubleshoot one thing at a time, no?
[10:39] <zetheroo> ok
[10:40] <edition> yes, the playback is improved for videos using the AVI format.
[10:41] <zetheroo> iptable: with trying with the IP I get some Dbus error
[10:41] <zetheroo> Mountpoint already registered
[10:41] <iptable> zetheroo, I thought you are connecting from windows to ubuntu share?
[10:41] <zetheroo> no
[10:41] <zetheroo> Ubuntu and Windows machines on the network
[10:42] <iptable> zetheroo, so why are you sharing a directory on ubuntu if you are not connecting to an ubuntu share?
[10:42] <zetheroo> (12:36:09 PM) zetheroo: For example... I have 2 Ubuntu 14.04 laptops here on the home network - ....
[10:42] <iptable> zetheroo> In Ubuntu 14.04 does one still have to edit the smb.conf file to get file sharing to work between Ubuntu and Windows machines?
[10:42] <iptable> if we are bout to quote
[10:42] <iptable> ok, so you want to share between 2 ubuntu machines?
[10:42] <iptable> no windows anymore?
[10:42] <zetheroo> yes, and then I went on to ask about an example of using 2 Ubuntu machines ...
[10:43] <zetheroo> But the same issue is there with Windows and Ubuntu on the same network as well
[10:43] <iptable> zetheroo, you need to decide what you want help with
[10:43] <iptable> zetheroo, can you try to connect to ubuntu share from a widnows machine, by going to \\IP on windows?
[10:43] <zetheroo> well, these machines cannot see each other Ubuntu to Ubuntu or Windows to Ubuntu or Ubuntu to Windows
[10:44] <zetheroo> for now I am dealing with the 2 Ubuntu machiens
[10:44] <iptable> zetheroo, see each other?
[10:44] <zetheroo> should be the easiest to get going ... I would think
[10:44] <iptable> zetheroo, can they ping each other?
[10:44] <zetheroo> In browsing for Network devices
[10:44] <zetheroo> ping works
[10:45] <iptable> zetheroo, ok, please do me a favour. forget about network browsing. please. that's another part, not smb itself, to advertise the machine. you need to get the network shares to work first. and navigate by IP to make sure they do work.
[10:45] <zetheroo> I keep reading people saying one has to still edit that smb.conf file ... but I cannot believe that is still the case now ..
[10:45] <iptable> zetheroo, once that works, we can play with network discovery, which is something else altogether
[10:46] <iptable> zetheroo, right-click and share a directory on one ubuntu machine. on another one, in nautilus, navigate to smb://IP
[10:46] <zetheroo> but this is where I have trouble ... because this is supposed to work for people who are all about right-click and share ... no!?
[10:46] <iptable> zetheroo, yes, works for me
[10:47] <zetheroo> ok, that works ...
[10:47] <zetheroo> smb://IP/
[10:47] <zetheroo> gets me to the machine and all the shares
[10:47] <iptable> zetheroo, so you cna browse shares, can you go to that shared dir and see it?
[10:47] <iptable> zetheroo, i.e. can you actually access a share?
[10:47] <zetheroo> yes
[10:48] <iptable> zetheroo, ok, so sharing works.
[10:48] <iptable> zetheroo, I can't remember which, but a completely another component is needed for network SMB discovery
[10:49] <zetheroo> ok
[10:49] <zetheroo> the strange thing is that for some Linux machines Net discovery seems to work right away
[10:49] <iptable> zetheroo, nmbd
[10:49] <zetheroo> like I have another Lubuntu 14.04 laptop and it's on the network
[10:50] <zetheroo> actually 2 Lubuntu laptops and both are on the network everywhere ... Windows and Linux
[10:50] <iptable> zetheroo, make sure nmbd is installed and works. also make sure that DNS settings are the same, as network discovery dependso n bcast name resolving
[10:51] <zetheroo> Unable to locate package nmbd
[10:51] <iptable> zetheroo, nmbd is the process...
[10:52] <iptable> zetheroo, is it running?
[10:52] <Dashell> hey is kll still here?
[10:52] <dadu> hmmm
[10:53] <zetheroo> status shows : nmbd start/running, process 2065
[10:53] <Dashell> well if kll comes back, i fixed the screen issue
[10:53] <zetheroo> its running on both Ubuntu 14.04 laptops
[10:53] <Dashell> finally logged out of cinnamon, still having graphic problems but... at least now I can read everything
[10:53] <zetheroo> iptable: ^
[10:54] <iptable> zetheroo, do you have a firewall enabled on those?
[10:54] <zetheroo> iptable: both Ubuntu 14.04 laptops can see other machines on the network ... just not each other
[10:54] <iptable> zetheroo, you need Wins and NetBIOS for network discovery to work
[10:54] <zetheroo> iptable: not that I know of
[10:54] <zetheroo> iptable: I didn't set anything up ... is there a default one?
[10:54] <iptable> zetheroo, they can see each other, they are just not advertising the shares to the network
[10:55] <iptable> zetheroo, check with iptables -L -vn. any rules?
[10:55] <baracude> hi
[10:55] <iptable> zetheroo, also, check smb.conf to ensure that public=yes and browsable=yes in the share configs
[10:56] <bogdan> hi guys. i have a little issue. i downloaded google chrome from its website and i wanted to install it with software center. i press install and i see the installation progress but when is done insteed of showing me remove button it shows me install. like it is not installed yet. but if i search for google chrome in dash i can see it there
[10:56] <zetheroo> iptables: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10760736/
[10:56] <OerHeks> bogdan, known issue, happened here too, chrome deb succesfully added their ppa.
[10:57] <OerHeks> bogdan, don't worry, have fun
[10:57] <zetheroo> iptables: I was afraid i would have to look at that file :D
[10:57] <iptable> zetheroo, check smb.conf to ensure that public=yes and browsable=yes in the share configs ; THEN check that smb.conf has WINS server enabled. Welcome to Microsoft protocols, where you need cifs, wins, netbios to work :/
[10:57] <Eightynine> Hi. Yesterday I got update to Gnome 3.12 and package manager showed that there are packages that not needed anymore(they were Gnome 3.10 packages). I wrote apt-get autoremove as package manager said, no bugs but Update manager disappeared. It's not handy to go to terminal to install updates every time. How to fix it?
[10:58] <bogdan> can you pls tell me what that means? chrome deb succesfully added their ppa? what is ppa? sry dont get upset but im new with linux i just installed it for the 1st time
[10:58] <iptable> zetheroo, in any case, sharing works, and machines see each other as you can access them via IP. Only network discovery/advertising doesn't work. that's different.
[10:58] <zetheroo> iptables: where should what be changed? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10760744/
[10:58] <iptable> bogdan, ppa is a very nice ubuntu way of storing 3rd-party dependencies
[10:58] <iptable> blah
[10:59] <iptable> bogdan, ppa is a very nice ubuntu way of storing 3rd-party packages/repositories
[10:59] <OerHeks> bogdan, the .deb from the google site is just a ppa, not the actual chrome. this behaviour is a bug, but not a real error.
[10:59] <Eightynine> PPA is something like user's repository from where you can install software.
[10:59] <zetheroo> sharing is only as good as the access to the share ... :P
[10:59] <iptable> zetheroo, ctrl+f, seach for "wins" :P
[10:59] <bogdan> ah ok guys thx. if i restart my laptop and log in again should it disappear?
[10:59] <iptable> zetheroo, wins support = no, change to yes, uncomment
[10:59] <zetheroo> #   wins support = no
[10:59] <zetheroo> ok
[11:00] <OerHeks> bogdan, no need to restart i guess
[11:00] <bogdan> OerHeks, ok thx
[11:00] <Eightynine> What about my question?
[11:00] <zetheroo> iptable: so basically samba still is in need of a comprehensive GUI management tool ...
[11:01] <iptable> zetheroo, also, at the end under eery share: [Pictures] [Videos] etc, that you created, uncomment (or add if required) browseable = yes AND public = yes (2 lines, public an browseable)
[11:01] <iptable> zetheroo, not really, most people just use ip to connect
[11:01] <zetheroo> ah ok
[11:01] <iptable> an bookmark it
[11:01] <iptable> no need to use network places. bookmarks are so much better
[11:02] <kokut> Hello, i used to be able to access my windows machine in the network but now i can't it says "Unable to access location: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection timed out." Is there anything i can do?
[11:02] <iptable> zetheroo, once edited, service smbd restart ; service nmbd restart
[11:02] <iptable> or whatever they are called
[11:02] <zetheroo> iptable: really? but with DHCP networks IP's can change all the time ...
[11:02] <iptable> zetheroo, they normally don't.
[11:03] <iptable> zetheroo, machines that run out of DHCP will ask for lease again and will normally get the same IP. Most routers have sticky IPs on DHCP as well for machines that are off overnight.
[11:03] <zetheroo> iptable: I get a lot of people over from Windows to Linux ... and usually over to Ubuntu ... and it's once of the nagging issues they face most of the time ..
[11:03] <zetheroo> just simply sharing from one machine to another - via the GUI
[11:04] <iptable> zetheroo, ay, windows people wanting to move to linux and still use their windows ways
[11:04] <bogdan> OerHeks, i found out that infact that thing is really an error
[11:04] <zetheroo> iptables: well yes :)
[11:04] <bogdan> OerHeks, my chrome wont start cuz of an unespected error
[11:04] <iptable> zetheroo, it works, just need IP or local name (if your router supports names for dhcp)
[11:04] <iptable> zetheroo, I can connect to most my shares using the machine names instead of IP as well
[11:05] <zetheroo> as soon as I say  to then "well you have to go edit that config file" or "you have to manually enter in an IP to get it to work" they are like ... "WHAT!?!?"
[11:05] <zetheroo> It's a bit archaic really
[11:05] <iptable> zetheroo, and that's what I would tell them to do, not to rely on brose windows network. between ubuntu and ubuntu, they should probably use scp/sftp/webdav for sharing too, cifs/smb is windows tbh
[11:05] <iptable> zetheroo, or nfs, windows supports it too, but then they could not right-clik and click share
[11:05] <zetheroo> by now Ubuntu should really have a fully comprehensive solution for network sharing without the need to mess in the terminal
[11:06] <iptable> zetheroo, uhm, my linux users, when I tell them that they can't just copy files between 2 machines using a proxy in between with a single ssh command , are like, what? what's archaic really
[11:06] <chotaz`work> How do I create a "shortcut" to a specific folder to use in terminal? Example: instead of 'gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/somesite.conf' id like to use something shorter for the folder path
[11:06] <zetheroo> yeah, NFS is not cool either for starter users ...
[11:06] <iptable> zetheroo, but now windows should have a comprehensive solution
[11:07] <rblst> hello all, i have a mobile internet modem that creates a wired network, but it is disabled (greyed out) in NetworkManager, 12.04 LTS; how to enable it?
[11:07] <iptable> chotaz`work, alias something="something longer"
[11:07] <bogdan> if i do sudo apt-get autoremoveit will remove all the files that i dont need?
[11:07] <zetheroo> iptable: Windows sharing works pretty well. (Windows 7 at least)
[11:07] <iptable> bogdan, theoretically
[11:07] <MonkeyDust> chotaz`work  use ln -s to create a symbolic link of the file you want to edit
[11:08] <bogdan> iptable, so it wont harm anything that command
[11:08] <chotaz`work> MonkeyDust, thanks but iptable's solution seems to be more fititng, as I want to ease the access to the folder itself and not the file.
[11:08] <iptable> zetheroo, when you can connect to an scp/sftp share from windows out of the box, you can complain that ubuntu's cifs/smb windows sharing implementation doesn't work properly :P
[11:08] <StanDarsh> zetheroo: I feel you dawg.
[11:08] <iptable> bogdan, it shouldn't
[11:08] <zetheroo> iptable: no but it's about Ubuntu/Linux sharing in general
[11:08] <iptable> zetheroo, yes, it would be nice if it was enabled b default, but it's not. they can use their machine names, IPs, or another sharing solution
[11:09] <iptable> zetheroo, or create a script that will magically fix it for them
[11:09] <iptable> zetheroo, or they can use owncloud/dropbox like most people nowadays
[11:09] <zetheroo> iptable: I wouldn't really care about samba if there was a comprehensive GUI solution for NFS
[11:10] <zetheroo> Ubuntu/Linux is still far behind Windows and MacOS in this regard IMHO ... and Linux is supposed to be the king at networking on top of that :D
[11:11] <itry> Hello! I have a cheap web hosting account that seems to be accessible via https but has no trusted certificate. It uses some generic certificate of the hosting company. Is it safe to access it from an interenet cafe? I know the IP is correct.
[11:11] <iptable> zetheroo, you are failingto see the point. windows cannot browse scp shares. windows is behind
[11:11] <iptable> zetheroo, let's add apple devices to equasion
[11:11] <zetheroo>  iptable: but home users don;t care about SCP
[11:11] <iptable> zetheroo, linux is not behind, it does things differently. live with it, or create a workaround
[11:11] <zetheroo> and Ubuntu is primarily for Desktop users
[11:11] <iptable> zetheroo, my mom uses scp to copy pictures to me!
[11:12] <iptable> zetheroo, over internet!
[11:12] <zetheroo>  iptable: and she set it up herself?
[11:12] <iptable> an she is a nursery supervisor
[11:12] <zetheroo> smart mom ;)
[11:12] <iptable> zetheroo, I told her how to
[11:12] <zetheroo> yep
[11:12] <iptable> zetheroo, but then again, I had to tell her how to browse windows shares as well
[11:12] <zetheroo> and that's over the Internet ... so that makes sense
[11:13] <iptable> zetheroo, not a single one of those users figured out how to browse windows shares, they were told. enough of this now please
[11:13] <iptable> zetheroo, more on
[11:13] <iptable> zetheroo, windows is behind with over internet sharing :P
[11:13] <zetheroo> ok, but I am not talking about Internet sharing
[11:13] <zetheroo> just simple home networks
[11:13] <iptable> zetheroo, enough
[11:13] <zetheroo> would be great as a start :)
[11:13] <littlebit> hi poeple, how do I include variables like $1 in executing shell comands in my shell script?
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> idd, there's no gui for nfs, been seaching a bit
[11:14] <hateball> littlebit: I think #bash is a better place to ask
[11:14] <littlebit> ok
[11:14] <hateball> littlebit: Assuming you are writing for bash, that is
[11:14] <zetheroo> MonkeyDust: let me know when/if you find something :D
[11:15] <zetheroo> MonkeyDust:  I have been dealing with the same networking scenario in Ubuntu since 2006 .. when I switched to Ubuntu ...
[11:16]  * iptable goes to get a coffee
[11:17] <MonkeyDust> zetheroo  this guy is a bit cynical: "Gee, NFS requires only TWO lines of configuration - one line on the server and one line on the client. That is why there aren't any wizards for it, since wizards just make it more difficult... "
[11:17] <zetheroo> HA!
[11:17] <zetheroo> :D
[11:18] <zetheroo> Some people forget that there is a HUGE world out there of people who have never configured anything in a command prompt or config file .... but, right, GUI's make life harder ... they say :D
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> zetheroo  this is the most recent page I found, if it's not yours, you could your name: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1397545
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> could add*
[11:24] <iptable> fine, I'll code an NFS GUI
[11:25] <iptable> you want it as an embedded-light-webserver-page-GUI or as a gnome-one?
[11:25] <iptable> should not be hard to ask for 2 locations with a brose button :/
[11:26] <zetheroo> awesome ... :)
[11:26] <zetheroo> Unity/Gnome I would prefer
[11:26] <iptable> zetheroo, ping me by end of April
[11:26] <zetheroo> haha ... for real?
[11:27] <iptable> why not
[11:27] <zetheroo> I dunno ... if it were that easy why hasn't it already been done?
[11:27] <iptable> it won't look super flashy. I am in no way a graphics designer
[11:27] <iptable> cause no one could be bothered?
[11:27] <iptable> it's a simple file-alteration with service-restart
[11:28] <zetheroo> ok - I would rather a GUI that sorts out the samba options in detail though :D
[11:28] <zetheroo> like enable WINS without editing the config
[11:30] <iptable> zetheroo, for that you don't need a GUI. you just need a daemon that monitors the smb.conf file and fixes if/as required when it changes
[11:31] <iptable> zetheroo, please check and confirm which option change in smb.conf makes it work for you and I'll code a workaround daemon for you
[11:31] <iptable> zetheroo, once you know which options, PM (private-message) me and I'll glue it for you when I am back in front of my machine. Leave contact details if you are not on IRC most of the time.
[11:32] <StanDarsh> I think zetheroo is thinking that it's backward to be forced to edit a config file rather than select radio buttons in a GUI.
[11:32] <StanDarsh> Would have a hard time disagreeing with that.
[11:32] <zetheroo> iptable: thanks ... still trying to get it working actually ...
[11:33] <iptable> StanDarsh, well, tbh, I agree that if you are doing cifs shares via GUI, but default network discovery via netbios should be enabled, not disabled. I can build a workaround.
[11:33] <iptable> StanDarsh, then again, we should encourage people to learn how their computers works
[11:34] <zetheroo> to get the net discovery to work do I need to reboot the machiens?
[11:34] <iptable> zetheroo, cool. I'm off for a break then. PM once you fiure it out (browsable|public setting OR the wins server setting OR all of them needed)
[11:34] <StanDarsh> We indeed should, and that's one of the strengths of linux in general. I just think that they're not going to learn much less if they select options iwthin a familiar GUI rather than have to use config files.
[11:34] <iptable> zetheroo, you need to restart smbd and nmbd services
[11:35] <zetheroo> ok, I restarted both services and nothing still ...
[11:35] <zetheroo> going to reboot to be sure ... :P
[11:35] <zetheroo> bbs
[11:36] <iptable> StanDarsh, "Users are Losers" ... took me a while to figure out it refers to drugs when I saw it on the back of a car :P
[11:36] <StanDarsh> hah
[11:38] <iptable> how about a dedicated webdav server with a nice sharing GUI to add on top for sharing? that would work a treat and windows 7+ supports it
[11:39] <zetheroo> rebooted both machines ... still not seeing each other in Nautilus > Network
[11:40] <hateball> iptable: like ownCloud then
[11:41] <iptable> hateball, well, kinda. I use owncloud at home and work, but what for users who just want to share between each other and are too dumb to connect without a "browse network" option?
[11:41] <Ben64> rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.655/7.330/60.591/8.698 ms
[11:41] <Ben64> shouldn't ping time to router be better than that...
[11:41] <Ben64> whoops, wrong channel, sorry
[11:42] <iptable> Ben64, yes it should, that's disgraceful ;)
[11:42] <iptable> hateball, owncloud has it's own issues, mainly with video streaming and large file handling
[11:43] <iptable> zetheroo, in any ways, you need to figure out how to make NetBIOS (nmbd) advertise smbd (cifs/samba) shares. the shares themselves work!
[11:43] <iptable> zetheroo, that's where my knowledge ends. let me know what worked and I will build a mass-deploy workaround for you.  Why does it want to remove gnome-shell and ubuntu-desktop when I try to purge bluez ?
[11:48] <emilsp> why does pulseaudio have a strong depenency on bluez when it's running on a machine without any bluetooth adapters ?
[11:48] <cfhowlett> !guidelines | emilsp, no profanity in this channel.
[11:49] <emilsp> cfhowlett, well, then, can anyone help me resurrect pulseaudio daemon ?
[11:49] <Exagone313> !resurrect pulseaudio daemon
[11:50] <emilsp> but I am serious, why is the bluez package a strong depenendency for gnome ?
[11:51] <Exagone313> can you paste the output of the command you tried?
[11:52] <emilsp> E: [pulseaudio] bluetooth-util.c: org.bluez.Manager.GetProperties() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.261" (uid=51182 pid=8955 comm="pulseaudio ") interface="org.bluez.Manager" member="GetProperties" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.bluez" (uid=0 pid=1094 comm="/usr/sbin/bluetoothd ")
[12:00] <svalo> hello everybody, I'd like to know id there's a way to install ubuntu without creating a user, I have a ldap auth system with /home mounted remotely
[12:05] <Fuchs> svalo: technically yes, you could set up things like sssd during install or modify a live system to do that, but it is a massive pain in the rear end
[12:05] <Fuchs> svalo: especially since I assume you have to take the machine into the directory before you can authenticate against ldap (is that an active directory?) anyway, so having a local user at first helps
[12:06] <mrwheels> #ubuntu-mate
[12:08] <svalo> Fuchs, thanks, yes I should setup few things before I can authenticate, including the script that mounts the partition
[12:08] <Fuchs> svalo: we here  (active directory, sssd, ...) use a local admin user that has a name which isn't in the LDAP  (else you'll have loads of fun) that we use to initially take the machine into the directory / set up kerberos etc.
[12:09] <emilsp> svalo, yeah, we use a tester-local user on all machines
[12:09] <Fuchs> svalo: it would be possible without, but it's a massive pain in the rear and I honestly can't recommend it. But it is feasible. We use a slight ubuntu respin which at least already provides the needed packages, of course you could put a configuration on it as well. If you use kerberos as well, you need a keytab though. And I wouldn't recommend either auto-creating nor distributing that.
[12:11] <Fuchs> svalo: if you want to automate it: I know it is possible, the Uni here did it, but it's a bit painful. The biggest issue is usually the machine keytab, which needs either a domain admin or at least someone with admin rights on the OU you put the machine in. The rest is rather easy to distribute via a ubuntu respin  (and, I recommend, your own custom repo which is activated in that respin)
[12:11] <svalo> Fuchs, emilsp, ok, I was reading about oem install that sounds interesting, the only downside woul'd be to disable the user wizard that appears after installing ubuntu. I don't have kerberos auth
[12:12] <Fuchs> svalo: the machine tab could be done if you used something like forman or cobbler to set the machines up, or something like ansible/salt/puppet to provide machine configurations. But still: it will be a bit of a pain
[12:12] <svalo> Fuchs, ok so I'll opt for normal installation and then remove the user and relative home folder....
[12:12] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:13] <svalo> Fuchs, thank you :)
[12:13] <Fuchs> svalo: I'd recommend that, yes. You're welcome :)
[12:17] <baum> newbie question: should i install software i want to keep updated via the repos? (like the JRE for example)
[12:18] <ANJ7> BluesKaj: heya o/
[12:18] <BluesKaj> hi ANJ7
[12:18] <BluesKaj> baum, yes
[12:19] <baum> BluesKaj: alright thanks
[12:26] <ANJ7> hey I'm infected by a virus :9
[12:27] <ANJ7> BluesKaj: can you help me?
[12:27] <BluesKaj> ANJ7, how do you know?
[12:27] <ANJ7> my friend just gave me a file which spreads on windows
[12:28] <ANJ7> like a worm in every folder
[12:28] <ANJ7> and I opened it in my ubuntu, it's call system_32.exe
[12:28] <zetheroo> ok, I have done a full purge of samba on both these laptops ... then reinstalled ...
[12:28] <ANJ7> I don't know how and why it worked on ubuntu
[12:28] <zetheroo> enabled WINS in smb.conf .. restarted the services ... but still no luck
[12:29] <ANJ7> BluesKaj: I think its the work of wine
[12:29] <zetheroo> does it take a certain amount of time for net discovery to work?
[12:29] <zetheroo> :P
[12:30] <ANJ7> how can I uninstall wine?
[12:32] <MonkeyDust> ANJ7  like you would uni,stall any other program
[12:32] <BluesKaj> ANJ7, most if not all windows viruses won't run on linux IME, they can ainfect other windows machines on you LAN, not equipped with decent anttivirus apps , as far as wine is concerned I don't know
[12:32] <ANJ7> the worm actually gets inside all the folder and creates a duplicate name
[12:33] <ANJ7> of the foldername.exe
[12:33] <BluesKaj> ANJ7,  best to purge wine
[12:33] <MonkeyDust> ANJ7  and yes, system32 is the core of windows
[12:33] <ANJ7> now I find it everywhere
[12:33] <ANJ7> I'm uninstalling wine now
[12:34] <ANJ7> MonkeyDust: its not a file its a worm which gets into folders and creates its copies
[12:36] <ANJ7> how can I delete all the *.exe files in my file system
[12:38] <MonkeyDust> ANJ7  type /j #winehq and ask there
[12:38] <momomo> Is there a way to get unity to stop group same application in the task switcher? ALT + TAB ?
[12:38] <ANJ7> but I want it to do using ubuntu terminal
[12:39] <ANJ7> like rm *.exe
[12:39] <ANJ7> which searches in every folder and file and delete and file which contains .exe
[12:39] <davevanloo> greetings all, i have a relative new system and ubuntu does not seem to like it all that much, before instalation in both ubuntu and kubuntu it tells me the installer crashes, then manually launching the installer in the live envirement works, however i am now faced with another issue.., i have 2 900 series cards in SLI, and whenever i install the drivers for them, ubuntu fails to make use of them and presents me with a black screen, in re
[12:39] <davevanloo> covery removing them puts me back into default x drivers
[12:40] <Meinskur> Hi, anyone here that Can help me install Ubuntu on my old laptop WITHOUT A LIVE USB!
[12:40] <MiDOZAlayyoubi> @Meinskur Sure
[12:40] <Meinskur> I try to google search but all I see is "with live USB"
[12:40] <BluesKaj> ANJ7, http://superuser.com/questions/494951/how-to-recursively-remove-all-exe-files-from-all-the-subdirectories-of-the-curr
[12:40] <Meinskur> awesome
[12:40] <Meinskur> is it recommended to use UNetBootin
[12:40] <Meinskur> ?
[12:40] <geirha> ANJ7: find . -type f -name "*.exe" -exec echo rm {} +  # minus the echo
[12:40] <MonkeyDust> ANJ7  would be something like   find / -name "*.exe" -exec rm {} \;
[12:41] <BluesKaj> Meinskur, do you have a cdrom ?
[12:41] <Meinskur> I do, but is there no way to just install it without the use of a CD or USB?
[12:43] <davevanloo> Meinskur, not that i know off.., getting a 1g or 2g usb should not be to hard.., perhaps you have a phone with a sd card? in the past i managed to use its card as a usb drive and install it that way
[12:43] <zen_> something with chrome on linux is seriously broken, copy paste crashes!
[12:43] <zen_> happens with me and all of my colleagues
[12:44] <Meinskur> I do have a USB stick that is 4GB at the ready, But I've had some problems in the past with installing that way.. maybe I'll just have to try again :/
[12:44] <baum> is it advicable to install java like that? http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/how-to-install-oracle-java-8-in-debian.html
[12:44] <pbx> tried to use shift+home as a keyboard shortcut and got this message. it doesn't make sense to me, any hints?  http://dpaste.com/3NWNECS
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> zen_  how can copy paste crash?
[12:44] <zen_> copy-paste crashes chrome
[12:45] <zen_> and atom editor which is based on chrome
[12:45] <Meinskur> so, what is the easiest way to make a USB installation?
[12:45] <pbx> zen_, copy and paste are two different operations. which one crashes chrome? copying or pasting where exactly?
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> !details | zen_
[12:45] <Meinskur> I've allready downloaded Ubuntu 14.04.2 ISO
[12:45] <ANJ7> MonkeyDust: find / -name "*.exe" -exec rm{} \; will the files in the filesystem be removed? or all the files in my HDD?
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> ANJ7  / is the file system
[12:46] <ANJ7> oh, ok
[12:46] <ANJ7> my destop also is infected now
[12:46] <zen_> okay, sorry, i will return with detailed "how to reproduce"
[12:46] <zen_> i just wanted to check if this already is recorded, as it affects 10 people in my office
[12:46] <ANJ7> it has Desktop.exe
[12:48] <cfhowlett> ANJ7, delete /home/anj7/.wine
[12:49] <ANJ7> finally all the exe file got deleted thanks MonkeyDust and BluesKaj
[12:50] <BluesKaj> ANJ7, yw
[12:50] <ANJ7> seriously I never thought it would infect me in ubunut
[12:50] <ANJ7> ubuntu*
[12:51] <ANJ7> but because of that useless wine. I had to be infected
[12:52] <JustSighDudes> Guys I have a weird situation
[12:52] <JustSighDudes> I have a samba dir mounted on my computer. But the computer keeps counting the files in that directory against its own hard drive space
[12:52] <JustSighDudes> e.g hard drive is 80G, so 70GB in the Samba drive and it starts doing all the weird no space on disk stuff

[13:09] <yorwos> if i wanted to install an email server , would it be best to install it on my ubuntu desktop 14.04 , or make ubuntu serber install in virtualbox ?
[13:14] <yorwos> ill try ubuntu offtopic
[13:15] <BluesKaj> yorwos, that won't help
[13:15] <davevanloo> @yorwos if you plan on using the system while the server is running.. i would still recomend not doing it in virtual box.. its still all together a slightly higher drain on your system then it would be without..
[13:18] <emilsp> yorwos, if you want to use virtualization, use qemu, virtualbox's overhead is way too big.
[13:21] <yorwos> can i host it in cloud maybe ?
[13:22] <emilsp> yorwos, you can, but why do you want to do that ?
[13:22] <emilsp> I personally run 'small server apps' on a defunct laptop
[13:23] <yorwos> im just wondering how can i have and use an email without belonging to google,yahoo,hotmail,whatever
