[00:00] <k1l> tachys: the ubuntu install media is a live OS. you can put that onto a usb or a dvd.
[00:00] <AlexQ> OerHeks: But I need another branch of the bundle, with H.264 support for G45 enabled
[00:00] <jasabella> Streusel... do you have xev installed?
[00:00] <jasabella> er, strangeland
[00:00] <daftykins> jackoo: sorry for the delay, try setting an administrator password (write it down!) as this may unlock further options that are currently hidden
[00:00] <k1l> tachys: but you could just connect the laptop to a lan cable, and then come here and we can try to fix that issue
[00:00] <Streusel> uhh no..
[00:00] <tachys> k1l: thanks, I will try that to test if a fresh install would fix the internet problem.
[00:01] <AlexQ> OerHeks: I already have the newest mirror from git, I am just wondering if the files I install with make install won't be overwritten by apt-get when upgrading packages
[00:01] <tachys> k1l: My ubuntu installation is on my desktop (not laptop) and is connected via Ethernet cable to my router.
[00:01] <k1l> tachys: i doubt it. better to get the facts whats going wrong and solve that. no need for reinstalls
[00:01] <AlexQ> OerHeks: Should I just remove these packages after building and installing from source?
[00:01] <jackoo> daftykins: ok i'm going to try
[00:02] <tachys> LambdaComplex: So I ran "systemctl enable<EMAIL_ADDRESS>now" and got "Failed to parse lined 'ow'"
[00:02] <OerHeks> AlexQ, you can pinn them
[00:02] <OerHeks> !pinning
[00:02] <LambdaComplex> tachys: -now
[00:02] <LambdaComplex> not now
[00:02] <tachys> LambdaComplex: sorry, I meant to say that I did use "-now"
[00:02] <LambdaComplex> hm
[00:03] <LambdaComplex> tachys: okay, just try systemctl enable and then do the same thing but with systemctl start
[00:03] <tachys> LambdaComplex: "-now" does not seem to be a valid flag for systemctl, based on the man page.
[00:03] <LambdaComplex> tachys: oh hey, it's --now
[00:03] <LambdaComplex> oops
[00:03] <AlexQ> OerHeks: But how can I pin them when there is no alternative package? I mean, there is no package to prefer - I am not building a package, I am just installing with make install
[00:03]  * LambdaComplex is literate, he swears
[00:04] <tachys> LambdaComplex: "systemctl: unrecognized option '--now'"
[00:04] <tachys> Also, "systemctl start" results in "Too few arguments"
[00:04] <LambdaComplex> tachys: systemctl enable<EMAIL_ADDRESS>--now
[00:04] <tachys> LambdaComplex: I'm doing this on my arc partition btw.
[00:04] <k1l> LambdaComplex: tachys #archlinux for arch support, please
[00:04] <tachys> arch*
[00:05] <LambdaComplex> k1l: wait, i got a thing for this
[00:05] <tachys> LambdaComplex: that's the same command I entered, and it doesn't recognize the --now option.
[00:05] <jasabella> stangeland... do you have xev installed?
[00:05] <LambdaComplex> "we do ask you to stay as helpful as possible"
[00:05] <AlexQ> OerHeks: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-vaapi-driver - lists only 1 normal built packages: i965-va-driver. So what if I just remove that?
[00:05] <stangeland> jasabella, i dont know. its ubuntu with xfce
[00:06] <tachys> But really I'd like to debug the ubuntu partition, if there's some way to troubleshoot it from within ubuntu and not require a reinstall, I'd be much obliged for your help :)
[00:06] <k1l> LambdaComplex: i am exhausted of you making a drama everytime. please make sure you read the guidelines and stick to them, thanks
[00:06] <LambdaComplex> tachys: eh, just do enable and start separately. what's wrong with your ubuntu installation?
[00:06] <k1l> !guidelines | LambdaComplex
[00:06] <tachys> LambdaComplex: it doesn't have an internet connection.
[00:07] <k1l> tachys: is that some sort of special network setup?
[00:07] <LambdaComplex> k1l: yeah, that's literally what i just quoted
[00:07] <daftykins> tachys: nobody's helped you yet huh? mount the partitions and check for /etc/issue to find your ubuntu's / partition :)
[00:07] <tachys> It's also in a strange sort-of zombie state where it was originally installed at Ubuntu Server Edition, but then i added ubuntu-desktop because I needed GUI for something.
[00:07] <daftykins> (not sure if you're still on the partition identification step)
[00:08] <jackoo> daftykins: i have nothing more (just a password before  entering the bios)
[00:08] <tachys> I'd rather just wipe the ubuntu installation and start over.
[00:08] <SkepticalParrot> KDE Plasma just crashed and I cannot sign out. How do I restart sddm?
[00:08] <daftykins> jackoo: ok, try making sure windows is shutdown properly by pressing windows key + R (that's super+R) and entering "shutdown -s -t 1" ; then boot from powered off - and be sure to use a USB 2.0 port if possible, or just try each.
[00:09] <tachys> daftykins: The problem is that I was using Window's disk management program to wipe the partition, but windows can't figure out which partitions are which.
[00:09] <daftykins> tachys: yeah it won't be able to read them, so use a live session
[00:09] <k1l> tachys: make a live ubuntu usb. you will need that to install anyway
[00:09] <tachys> daftykins: how do I use a live session?
[00:09] <daftykins> as k1l says
[00:09] <tachys> k1l: haha, ok.
[00:09] <k1l> tachys: on that use "gparted" to sort the partitions
[00:10] <AlexQ> OerHeks: It seems to be only that file (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so) and some docs. That package breaks only 1 package: libva-intel-vaapi-driver , which is just a meta package installing the appropriate binary package with the vaapi driver, am I correct?
[00:10] <tachys> Will do. thanks daftykins k1l LambdaComplex
[00:11] <stangeland> hi. i have a lenovo x1 carbon 2nd gen. suddently the mouse buttons on the touchpad stopped working in my ubuntu installation. why?
[00:11] <AlexQ> OerHeks: So is it okay to remove it before building? That way they will just not be re-installed magically when upgrading I guess?
[00:11] <OerHeks> AlexQ, yes, standard.but go ahead wit your git if you think that gives better support, you only need to rebuild with any kernel update i guess.
[00:12] <MACscr> is ubuntu using systemd yet or are their plans to move to it?
[00:12] <k1l> MACscr: its standard since 15.04
[00:12] <bazhang> !systemd | MACscr
[00:13] <SkepticalParrot>  How do I restart a service if the desktop crashes?
[00:13] <MACscr> thanks guys
[00:14] <shome2> SkepticalParrot: What service ?
[00:14] <shome2> service servicename restart
[00:14] <MACscr> what do you guys think of systemd timesyncd versus standard ntpd?
[00:15] <AlexQ> OerHeks: Well, it is only video decoding acceleration, so nothing essential. Actually it did wasn't even installed automatically with Ubuntu (vainfo was reporting a problem when trying to open that file), so I had to look that file up and install it manually, but unfortunately it only provides MPEG-2 for my chipset. Well, I think it actually should have been there automatically with libva itself
[00:16] <k1l> SkepticalParrot: systemctl restart ssdm
[00:16] <AlexQ> OerHeks: va-driver-all was removed as well.
[00:16] <LambdaComplex> MACscr: timesyncd seems nice for cron jobs. i haven't really used ntpd aside from the systemd ntpd service for keeping my clock synced
[00:16] <LambdaComplex> wait, i might be getting timesyncd confused with timers
[00:17] <LambdaComplex> i am. forget i said anything :P
[00:17] <MACscr> ha
[00:18] <jackoo> dafykins: I tried it but nothing changed , the liveusb is stil unrecognized.
[00:18] <MACscr> well debian 8.2 uses timesyncd versus ntpd and id rather not have to manage configs for two different types. Seems i can just remove timesyncd and use ntpd instead.
[00:19] <daftykins> or stop using two distros and maintain a consistent environment ;)
[00:20] <MACscr> daftykins: ha. i wish. Unfortunately not everyone else feels the same
[00:20] <daftykins> MACscr: bear in mind if you're talking servers, then 15.xx don't belong on servers in production
[00:20] <MACscr> i prefer ubuntu, but proxmox uses debian and cpanel uses centos. So i have to use at least those 2 or 3
[00:20] <MACscr> daftykins: right, im only at 14.04
[00:20] <daftykins> *nod* presumably 16.04 will be the first systemd LTS
[00:21] <MACscr> yep. not till april for that
[00:27] <daftykins> Azi: i take it you're going to wipe Windows entirely?
[00:27] <jzeolla> Any of you guys ever try to preseed a Ubuntu RAID setup that uses Intel RSTe as a pseudo-controller?
[00:27] <daftykins> this seems pretty simple: https://sturmflut.github.io/linux/ubuntu/2015/01/21/installing-ubuntu-15.04-on-baytrail-tablets/
[00:28] <Azi> Hello people! Is there anyone here who could help me install Ubuntu 15.10 on a laptop that boots 32-bit efi exclusively? It's the Asus X205TA, specifications can be found here: https://www.asus.com/us/Notebooks/ASUS_EeeBook_X205TA/specifications/ I know that there are tutorials online but not for my particular needs and as someone who is relatively new to Linux I am having trouble applying the info I can find online to my situation.
[00:29] <KageNoOni> Anyone know how to restart cinnamon w/o the menu or panel?
[00:29] <KageNoOni> It disappeared after my computer locked from being afk.
[00:29] <Azi> Ctrl + Alt + 1 to get tty1, sign in and issue the poweroff/reboot command?
[00:29] <Azi> Should work
[00:30] <daftykins> that's not what was asked ;)
[00:30] <KageNoOni> That's rebooting the whole computer.  I can do that if I have to, but honestly, it's easier to sign out and back in (I can hit Super to make the menu appear)
[00:30] <k1l> KageNoOni: you can restart the xserver but this will kill all running programs
[00:30] <jackoo> Dafykins: thanks for trying to help, i will try later.
[00:30] <KageNoOni> I just need cinnamon itself restarted.
[00:30] <k1l> KageNoOni: sudo lightdm restart
[00:30] <KageNoOni> And I do have access to the command line as well as the menu, if needed.
[00:30] <Azi> For Gnome it would be sudo restart gdm, something like that should be available for cinnamon too
[00:31] <daftykins> Azi: so did you prepare a USB flash drive with 15.10 64-bit desktop on? and are you keeping Windows as i asked earlier?
[00:32] <Exagone313> Hi, I want to redirect an input port (from internet) to a local port (this is to use a port under 1025 without root). I tried this iptables command ( iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING --src 0/0 --dst <IP_ADDRESS> -p tcp --dport 25 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 5025 ), but it does not work. What do I do?  I've been trying to port a solution from 12 to 14 and overwrote the group file, then rebooted... the current (overwritten) group file doesn't have the same login user in the sudo group and I never set a root passwd... how can I get to root?
[00:35] <Exagone313> cheetahw26_: chroot
[00:35] <daftykins> Azi: as above, keep the chat in here please.
[00:36] <cheetahw26_> I've used chroot to jail users and to compile a custom linux distro within another, but I don't know how that could help me right now
[00:36] <ldsh> Hi, I try to run ubuntu-gnome on a M2 NVMe ssd formated in F2FS. I'm folowing this tutorial: http://www.richud.com/wiki/Ubuntu_1504_Vivid_Install_To_F2FS_Filesystem
[00:37] <Azi> daftykins: I am sorry I do not know how to pm someone, /msg <name> does not work
[00:37] <daftykins> _don't_ PM.
[00:37] <daftykins> i said don't!
[00:37] <Exagone313> cheetahw26_: if you have an access to the drive, you can mount it, then edit a file or chroot
[00:38] <Azi> Oh, don't. I am sorry it's late.
[00:38] <Exagone313> with chroot you will be root
[00:38] <ldsh> I made some adaptations (like the first "update-initramfs -u" was not successful but after installing f2fs-tools before copying from the ext4 to the F2FS, it worked.
[00:38] <k1l> ldsh: thats not an ssd but a nand flash orientated filesystem
[00:38] <cheetahw26_> eh... it's like an Intel ComputeStick... not sure if I can just boot to another distro and then mount/edit... (that would be easy/awesome)
[00:39] <cheetahw26_> in such case, I don't think I'd have to chroot, right?  I could just mount the drive and modify the group file...
[00:39] <ldsh> My problem now is that it stop at startup with "A job is running for Wait for...en to Quit (time/ no limit)
[00:39] <daftykins> cheetahw26_: boot recovery mode
[00:40] <ldsh> k1l: yes, friendly to flash file system
[00:40] <cheetahw26_> that might work, if there's an option... how, I can't remember off the top of my head?
[00:40] <k1l> ldsh: ext4 works fine on ssds
[00:40] <daftykins> !recovery
[00:41] <ldsh> k1l, in deed, this is why the tutorial first install on EXT4.
[00:42] <Azi> daftykins: So what I did when I was actually getting Ubuntu to boot and all was I installed a seperate boot loader which I downloaded from the internet (bootia32.efi) on the ESP (/efi/boot/). When I did that the installation failed when the installer was executing grub-install
[00:43] <daftykins> Azi: yeah because you're supposed to ignore the supplied and use another instead as per all the guides available; sounds like you might want to read them a lot closer
[00:44] <cheetahw26_> trying now... been holding shift, but did see ubuntu text... now stuck at black screen with cursor... eh
[00:44] <cheetahw26_> I don't know if this stick has a recover mode built-in...
[00:44] <daftykins> cheetahw26_: did you say this is not ubuntu but some custom hacked up thing of your own creation?
[00:44] <Azi> daftykins: I did download the one the guide(s) was suggesting, that is the one that I installed on the ESP
[00:44] <cheetahw26_> it's intel, but not a regular computer...
[00:44] <daftykins> i know what the compute sticks are
[00:44] <daftykins> Azi: yes but that's only to boot the flash drive, you have to install 32-bit GRUB on the actual installation...
[00:45] <ldsh> I have this message <<F2FS-fs (nvme0n1p4): Unrecognized mount option "errors=remount-ro" or missing value >> that leads to a [FAILED]
[00:45] <cheetahw26_> nope... I did not say that... this is definitely ubuntu 14, just porting over some custom software... I'm just an idiot and manually modified the /etc/group file incorrectly, then rebooted... now I don't have any valid users in the sudo group
[00:45] <daftykins> ldsh: remove that from /etc/fstab
[00:46] <ldsh> Does it meens that F2FS does not suport this mounting option and I should simply remove it from my fstab, or that there is an other failure before and that it is not even able to remount
[00:47] <daftykins> ldsh: 'unrecognised' says 'remove me' to me.
[00:47] <ldsh> daftykins, Ok, at worst I can still format the F2FS partition and copy again from the EXT4 (in case it would damage the file system)
[00:47] <cheetahw26_> and I never set a root password, so I can't use su -
[00:47] <ldsh> daftykins, Ok ;)
[00:47] <cheetahw26_> eh...  woe is me
[00:47] <daftykins> ldsh: i genuinely think it's a big waste of time trying to use this file system.
[00:47] <daftykins> cheetahw26_: do those things not support booting a live session?
[00:47] <ldsh> daftykins, Oh, and I just saw he removed it in the tutorial, sorry
[00:48] <cheetahw26_> they might... and I hope so, I've already done a bunch of work, hate to lose it all...
[00:48] <ldsh> daftykins, Yes, as I understood there is no huge advantage on ssd to use it, this is more for the experiment ;)
[00:48] <cheetahw26_> try to find a bootable usb live stick and try that I suppose
[00:51] <clorisu> Does anybody have any clue why my skype proxxy isnt working? I'm using one from ttp://www.gatherproxy.com/proxylist/country/?c=Australia but when I skype resolve I can still see my original IP address?
[00:52] <ldsh> daftykins, now it seems to boot correctly (I replaced the error=remount" by default
[00:53] <ldsh> Time to lookat the graphic card now
[00:53] <daftykins> ldsh: i'm not surprised
[00:55] <ldsh> But strangely the windows on the other ssd does not seem to be detected.
[00:57] <daftykins> 'windows' ?
[00:58] <ldsh> daftykins, yes, sometimes It is still useful to have one for some applications. (it's W10 edu)
[01:00] <freakyy> is there any way i can change my ubuntu-gnome profile picture or anyhting displayed at the gdm login screen?
[01:04] <ldsh> freakyy, There should be
[01:04] <daftykins> ldsh: yeah your sentence just didn't make much sense is all :)
[01:04] <daftykins> are you talking about for dual boot?
[01:05] <ldsh> freakyy, does this help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/310151/how-to-change-account-profile-picture
[01:05] <ldsh> daftykins, yes, dual boot (sorry having been unclear)
[01:05] <freakyy> ldsh: thanks i know now ;D
[01:05] <daftykins> "sudo update-grub" perhaps, although if one installation is EFI and the other is not, then you'll be in trouble
[01:07] <ldsh> daftykins, already made the update (needed to find the f2fs partition), I would have expect both OS (W10 and Ubuntu gnome) to use EFI.
[01:09] <daftykins> well that's only going to happen if you booted and installed as EFI
[01:11] <ldsh> daftykins, seems my ubuntu is Legacy boot and not EFI
[01:12] <daftykins> !efi | ldsh here you can find a method to convert it
[01:12] <ldsh> daftykins, no /sys/firmware/efi
[01:13] <daftykins> have a read of the above
[01:13] <ldsh> daftykins, thanks, you helped me troubleshot that really quick ;)
[01:15] <daftykins> that's how we roll
[01:19] <CaptainPants_> asd
[01:20] <tachys> daftykins: So I tried the liveCD and the internet does work on that.
[01:20] <KageNoOni> Who was it that messaged me earlier to try to help me fix my desktop background issue in Cinnamon?
[01:20] <CaptainPants_> leave .
[01:20] <KageNoOni> This was a couple hours ago.
[01:20] <CaptainPants_> leave Ubuntu
[01:20] <zermanno> matplotlib
[01:20] <CaptainPants_> das
[01:20] <CaptainPants_> asd
[01:21] <Freakwent> My Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS has a weird mysql problem with apt, if anyone knows a way around this, I'd be happy! "The following packages have unmet dependencies: mysql-server-5.5 : Breaks: mysql-server (< 5.5.46-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>) but 5.5.40-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> is to be installed"
[01:22] <Freakwent> already purged and done apt-get -f install, hasn't helped.
[01:22] <CaptainPants_> asd
[01:23] <CaptainPants_> adssa
[01:23] <CaptainPants_> leave
[01:23] <Freakwent> System is essentially useless now.
[01:23] <CaptainPants_> ctcp
[01:24] <daftykins> tachys: sorry i don't remember what your issue was
[01:24] <tachys> daftykins: Internet was not working on the ubuntu installation.
[01:24] <tachys> Still isn't working.
[01:24] <daftykins> ah, can't help right now, having fun with my own experiments :)
[01:24] <Freakwent> Am I in the right place?
[01:24] <CaptainPants_> dsa
[01:24] <tachys> daftykins: bah! OK
[01:24] <KageNoOni> You're in the right place, but I've no idea how to help with that.
[01:24] <daftykins> Freakwent: bear in mind 12.04.4 is out of date, i think it's up to 12.04.5 - likely you need a dist-upgrade first, then maybe your packages are being ruined by PPAs.
[01:25] <Freakwent> no ppas
[01:25] <asibo2> whs
[01:26] <Freakwent> same error blocks dist-upgrade
[01:26] <Bashing-om> Freakwent: Maybe already have a version of mysql-server installed ( apt-cache policy mysql-serve ) ? Remove the one you do not want .
[01:27] <KageNoOni> I was having an issue where, opening Nautilus, would cause my desktop background to change, and I couldn't change it back.  I'm using Cinnamon on Ubuntu 15.10.  In case anyone else comes in with the same issue, the solution was a single line in the terminal: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false
[01:27] <ldsh> daftykins, Ok, so the fault seems to be from my bios that boots the usb in legacy mode instead of EFI
[01:28] <KageNoOni> Apparently Nautilus and Nemo were both, simultaneously, trying to control my desktop, and flipping that switch gets Nautilus to stop, and lets Nemo continue handling it.
[01:28] <jpmh> what package do I need to get ifconfig?  Generally how do I discover what package a command is in?
[01:28] <Freakwent> Hey, simple.... Thanks!
[01:28] <KageNoOni> I'm not the only person to have had this issue, as I found at least one askubuntu question regarding the exact same issue.
[01:29] <SchrodingersScat> !info apt-file | jpmh
[01:30] <SchrodingersScat> !info net-tools | jpmh
[01:30] <daftykins> ldsh: well, more that you didn't make it boot EFI before installing
[01:31] <jpmh> ubottu, ideally I do not want the source, I want to install ifconfig, so I tried apt-get source ifconfig and it said no source available.  Really I do not need source
[01:32] <bazhang> jpmh, thats a bot
[01:33] <jpmh> bazhang, I know, I just thought that someone might see my response and respond to me
[01:33] <hipitihop> I have an existign 14.04.3 LTS (originally a mythbuntu install) so this runs XFCE, is it possible to update this to unity ?
[01:35] <Bashing-om> hipitihop: Not an update, just install the ubuntu DE ' sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ' . Drags in all the bells and whistles . Not to easy to back out of once done .
[01:36] <hipitihop> Bashing-om, ok thanks
[01:38] <Bashing-om> hipitihop: In the login dialog box, click the icon in upper right to choose which DE to start .
[01:39] <hipitihop> Bashing-om, is that sticky ? iow, normally when the box boots, it should not ask for login and fire streight into mythtv fornt-end or kodi (which is where I'm heading)
[01:41] <Bashing-om> hipitihop:  once selected, that option will be default until re-selected .
[01:41] <hipitihop> cool thanks
[01:52] <ldsh> hipitihop, And if you have automatic login, you can still unlog just to change and it will also become the new default upon reboot.
[02:00] <clorisu> Does anybody have any clue why my skype proxxy isnt working? I'm using one from ttp://www.gatherproxy.com/proxylist/country/?c=Australia but when I skype resolve I can still see my original IP address?
[02:01] <hipitihop> ldsh, thanks
[02:03] <hipitihop> clorisu, not sure about your proxy but why do you need to use one for Skype ?
[02:03] <clorisu> hipitihop: to prevent my skype ip from being resolved
[02:03] <clorisu> highdivr: for example see http://cstress.net/skype-resolver/#first
[02:04] <clorisu> hipitihop: *
[02:05] <Demannu> Trying to install Ubuntu Server 14.04 onto a local box, just have a wireless keyboard right now but the installer isn't accepting input from it. Works fine in the menu selection, just once it asks for a language, no response. Anything I can do?
[02:05] <mo78> hit n run question: when I use the live ubuntu wirless keyboard & mouse works and internet works, After instal no mouse, keyboard or interent any ideas? im on live now.
[02:07] <SchrodingersScat> !info proxychains | clorisu
[02:07] <clorisu> SchrodingersScat: I already tried proxychains, they wouldn't work
[02:07] <clorisu> unfortunately
[02:08] <Bashing-om> mo78: Once installed, update/upgrade .. see if the drivers are picked up and installed .
[02:09] <mo78> allowed it to update as installed, issue is no way to input post install, only have wireless keyboard/mouse.
[02:10] <N1sM> greetings friends :)
[02:10] <N1sM> wow ip logging is turned on :(
[02:11] <Bashing-om> mo78: Better support for wireless after install .. need to do that from a wired connection . Then maybe " Additional Drivers " to be effective .
[02:11] <comradzilla> .
[02:12] <mo78> kk, so need to hunt a wired kb and try update?
[02:12] <N1sM> why not sit the box side by side and install synergy on it?
[02:12] <Bashing-om> mo78: Yes, IMO the better course of action .
[02:12] <N1sM> share kb/mouse with another machine
[02:13] <N1sM> if you have access to another machine that is
[02:14] <mo78> cheers, see if i can hunt an old wired one some where lol. N1sM, no other machine for me. if you were directing to me. :)
[02:14] <N1sM> mo78, understood... no synergy for you then...
[02:14] <flyn4x4web> Hello room,  I was wondering if anyone has any experience updating 15.04 on arm-hf? the reason i ask is that apt-get update and upgrade have problems connecing to the servers. Does anyone know what file contains the serverlist?
[02:14] <N1sM> it sounds as if the drivers for the mouse aren't being loaded
[02:15] <daftykins> flyn4x4web: #ubuntu-arm
[02:15] <daftykins> flyn4x4web: yes, /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:15] <N1sM> Greetings Room, wondering if anyone has a method of installing GMA 4500 series drivers for Ubuntu-Gnome 15.10?
[02:15] <mo78> i know its so strange, while im on this live ubuntu all works perfectly, same one is used to install and no mouse or kb.
[02:15] <flyn4x4web> Thanks daffykins, Im in north america and its trying to dl from uk
[02:16] <daftykins> N1sM: they're already part of the kernel, there's nothing to be done
[02:16] <mo78> im runniing ubuntu from usb and installed from same usb
[02:16] <Charcoalfire> Bashing-om: Home backup and installation of 14.04 went successfully.
[02:17] <Bashing-om> Charcoalfire: Outstanding ... much improved, no ?
[02:17] <daftykins> mo78: did you install with updates?
[02:17] <N1sM> daftykins: It seem's that I have very poor performance. maybe i shouldn't have been so optimistic about installing on older core 2 processor
[02:18] <daftykins> N1sM: what're the rest of the specs? something like lubuntu or xubuntu would be better on there, not full ubuntu - Unity is too demanding
[02:18] <mo78> yes I allowed updates to instal during installation
[02:18] <daftykins> mo78: then that's something to try without :)
[02:18] <N1sM> daftykins: It's mostly the graphics bit, however i believe its partly due to the amount of system ram.
[02:18] <daftykins> what are we talking, 2GB?
[02:18] <Charcoalfire> Bashing-om: Yes! Everything seems really fast now.
[02:18] <[Relic]> any idea where I can see the path settings for things like PYTHON_LIBRARY ?  Trying to figure out why this program can't seem them
[02:18] <N1sM> 2.2ghz core duo 1M cache and 3gb ddr2 667
[02:18] <mo78> kk, try basic instal/ then try updates post instal. ty will give it a shot now.
[02:19] <mo78> but one more Q before I try
[02:19] <cfhowlett> N1sM, you can run ubuntu on that, but you'll almost certainly get better performance from lubuntu as it's optimized for low spec and legacy hardware
[02:19] <mo78> if the basic instal dont do it can I select drivers during instal?
[02:19] <daftykins> N1sM: that's plenty, i'd just try xubuntu instead
[02:20] <daftykins> mo78: what drivers
[02:20] <Bashing-om> Charcoalfire: Pleased it has all worked out . Worth all the effort .
[02:20] <N1sM> daftykins: I am currently running Ubuntu Gnome
[02:20] <mo78> for the kb / mouse
[02:20] <daftykins> mo78: i don't think that's how it works.
[02:20] <Charcoalfire> Bashing-om: :)
[02:21] <mo78> dam lol. kk im out gonna try basic none update install, if it works illl report back. peace all
[02:21] <sorin-mihai> anyone knows how "safe" would it be to install linux-image-virtual-lts-wily in a 14.04 server?
[02:22] <daftykins> sorin-mihai: i don't see any point at all to run the wily kernel in trusty.
[02:22] <N1sM> wow Lbuntu looks horrid :( guess its finally time to dump my laptop for a new one...
[02:22] <cfhowlett> sorin-mihai, I can think of lots of reasons NOT to run the wily kernel in trusty
[02:22] <sorin-mihai> is just that virtualmin isn't supporting wily, so I have to stick with trusty for a while...
[02:23] <N1sM> daftykins: lbuntu looks like windows 3.1, is that normal?
[02:23] <daftykins> N1sM: xubuntu is much nicer.
[02:23] <N1sM> daftykins: does xbuntu support cairo-dock and various other things?
[02:23] <daftykins> sorin-mihai: i'm not familiar with that, but newer kernels are more relevant for up to date bleeding edge desktop or laptop hardware, not servers.
[02:24] <daftykins> N1sM: i don't know
[02:24] <amazoniantoad> Will we ever be able to install ubuntu touch on laptops?
[02:24] <kingplusplus> I am using Ubuntu in virtualbox... after doing resize from host (Mac) i still get "This computer has only 190.6 MB disk space remaining" error
[02:24] <amazoniantoad> Some of us use touch screens
[02:25] <amazoniantoad> kingplusplus: only practical solution is to make it your main install
[02:25] <amazoniantoad> :D
[02:25] <cfhowlett> kingplusplus, might be time for spring cleaning:  http://howtoubuntu.org/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr#clean
[02:25] <amazoniantoad> Spring cleaning is always fun
[02:26] <daftykins> amazoniantoad: not the point, imo.
[02:26] <daftykins> kingplusplus: yeah you need to increase the partition size...
[02:26] <amazoniantoad> daftykins: I know...I'm just bein salty...I just found out I wont be getting the ubuntu touch for christmas...
[02:26] <amazoniantoad> So so salty...
[02:26] <amazoniantoad> So salty
[02:26] <daftykins> amazoniantoad: ok well please take it to #ubuntu-touch so we don't have to suffer thanks
[02:27] <kingplusplus> daftykins how do i do that please
[02:27] <amazoniantoad> daftykins: I will spread my salt as far as the horizon
[02:27] <daftykins> kingplusplus: did you use LVM?
[02:27] <daftykins> amazoniantoad: no, silence now thanks.
[02:27] <kingplusplus> daftykins please whats LVM? Live Virtual Machine?
[02:28] <daftykins> no
[02:28] <daftykins> kingplusplus: is the VM booted?
[02:28] <kingplusplus> daftykins yes it is
[02:29] <daftykins> kingplusplus: open a terminal and run "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999"
[02:31] <kingplusplus> datfykins, i have ran it... its still thinking i guess
[02:31] <kingplusplus> to show output
[02:31] <daftykins> try "sudo parted -l" on its' own, or open the gparted program
[02:33] <kingplusplus> daftykins  am installing gparted... where do i find result of previous command?
[02:34] <daftykins> it would print it in the terminal
[02:34] <kingplusplus> daftykins well, gparted opened
[02:34] <daftykins> so do you see some unused space on the disk?
[02:36] <kingplusplus> daftykins i see unallocated 17GB
[02:36] <daftykins> can you share a screenshot on imgur.com
[02:38] <Traced> So uhm.. is anyone willing to possibly help a fellow out Dual Booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu under UEFI? I've run around to multiple places today searching for an answer and have wound up reinstalling windows etc at least three times.
[02:38] <cfhowlett> Traced, see ##windows for windows installation support.
[02:38] <kingplusplus> daftykins http://imgur.com/a6UaLhb
[02:38] <Traced> Some places say start from scratch with Ubuntu, others say start from windows
[02:39] <cfhowlett> Traced, windows first.  always.
[02:39] <Traced> Right. Disregarding the other information now.
[02:40] <Traced> I've Dual Booted Windows 7 and older Ubuntu before but I had a friend helping then as well.
[02:40] <cfhowlett> Traced, win7 and win10 are worlds apart due to uefi ... but you already know that.
[02:40] <Traced> I have a generic Win 10 pro USB and the Ubuntu 15 USB ready to try again as soon as Windows finishes "Getting Ready" -.-
[02:41] <Traced> cfhowlett: Oh, definitely.. XD
[02:42] <daftykins> kingplusplus: bit messy, you're going to have to boot a live session in the VM ideally, (as in the ubuntu desktop ISO) then delete the swap and extended partitions (sda5 and sda2) then resize sda1, recreate a swap partition, edit the /etc/fstab file on sda1 and then boot back into it.
[02:43] <Traced> Would you be willig to walk me through setting the dual boot up cfhowlett? I guess that's a lot to ask.. but I'm about to pull my hair out. :x
[02:43] <Bashing-om> !dualboot | Traced
[02:43] <Traced> Derp
[02:44] <Traced> I've read someplace that EasyBCD and windows with EUFI are bad and "outdated"..?
[02:44] <Traced> UEFI*
[02:44] <cfhowlett> Traced, gl/sad to say, I decided not to dualboot as I use ubuntu 98% of the time.  I installed virtualbox to ubuntu and put win7 in a virtualbox.  see !wfm
[02:45] <daftykins> Traced: yes don't touch easyBCD
[02:46] <Traced> I'm not a total Linux newbie but as far as setting up a proper Dual Boot (especially with Windows' weird UEFI load.. I'm simply lost
[02:46] <Traced> daftykins: Righto
[02:46] <daftykins> it's pretty simple, install 10 with some space left over, or resize the disk... then boot ubuntu as EFI and install beside
[02:46] <kingplusplus> daftykins thanks, is this the only option? My pain is that i deleted the iso and i have limited bandwidth 10gig monthly which is almost out :)
[02:46] <cfhowlett> Traced, best practice: get windows sorted out first.  fully installed, updated all that.  THEN set up buntu.
[02:47] <daftykins> kingplusplus: pretty much
[02:47] <Traced> I saw also that I should disable Fast Startup for Windows until after GRUB2 is set up proper
[02:47] <Traced> True?
[02:48] <kingplusplus> daftykins i wouldn't loose all the installed updates, and files right? it took me sometime to get this os setup
[02:48] <daftykins> kingplusplus: no
[02:48] <kingplusplus> ok thanks
[02:48] <daftykins> have some faith in the advice given :P
[02:48] <cfhowlett> kingplusplus, but you DO have your stuff backed up anyway ... right?
[02:49] <daftykins> certainly wouldn't be hard with a VM :>
[02:49] <kingplusplus> cfhowlett note really anything that matters just the cost of re-installing things in terms of paid bandwidth :)
[02:50] <Bashing-om> Traced: "fast boot" is a Windows Hibernation. such that the hard drive is "in use" . Then ubuntu can not access it .
[02:50] <kingplusplus> daftykins, how about taking a snapshop?
[02:51] <cfhowlett> kingplusplus, understood.  Humbly suggest that as you are a buntu user, you should always have an install USB with you as a best practice.  I keep my silver Kingston USB quite stylishly mounted on a lanyard around my neck.  Cuz you never know ...
[02:51] <kingplusplus> daftykins i mean snapshot.... then moving it to a new guest instance and deleting the one with low disk something
[02:52] <stuartyeates> I'm on 14.04 and looking for a solution to ripping DVDs to mp4s. successfully creating isos from the DVDs but can't convert them. on previous versions I crafted a ffmpeg commandline that did what I wanted, but that's not working for me now.   suggestions?
[02:52] <Traced> About to reboot into Linux..
[02:53] <Traced> Handbrake for ripping works well
[02:53] <cfhowlett> stuartyeates, ffmpeg in 14.04?  avconv is the default conversion tool
[02:53] <Traced> ffmpeg is fuu ._.
[02:53] <Traced> fun*
[02:54] <stuartyeates> cfhowlett: thanks. it may be that the commandname is all I need
[02:54] <cfhowlett> stuartyeates, happy2help!  fwiw: ffmpeg and libav-tools have kissed and made up.  ffmpeg will return to ubuntu in 16.04.  yay!
[02:56] <daftykins> kingplusplus: i'd copy the full thing before attempting the resize personally
[02:56] <Traced> What will Ubuntu's naming convention after Z is reached become?
[02:56] <Traced> o-o
[02:56] <zykotick9> cfhowlett: could ffmpeg/libav change be because ffmpeg is in both debian's unstable & testing branches?  ;)
[02:56] <cfhowlett> Traced, zesty zulu and then we don't know what's next
[02:57] <Traced> End of everything ;-;
[02:57] <stuartyeates> nah, after z we shift to CJK characters...
[02:57] <Traced> I'm waiting for these updates to finish.. -.-
[02:57] <cfhowlett> zykotick9, as I recall, the problems was personality and leadership incompatibilities on the ffmpeg side.  seemingly resolved now ...
[02:58] <zykotick9> cfhowlett: to me personally, libav vs ffmpeg never made much difference... to others it did ;)  i was just making light of the downstream nature of ubuntu there... sorry.
[02:59] <cfhowlett> no harm no foul!
[03:23] <wfreeman> I have just installed kubuntu 15.10 and the system boots to a black desktop with a mouse cursor; no KDE panels, desktop, etc. are visible. How can I fix this? I can run commands with alt-f2 but that's it.
[03:27] <zykotick9> wfreeman: <one comment> alt+f2 to run commands is NOT built into Xorg itself...  that sounds like gnome or kde (i'm NOT familiar with kde so don't know if alt+f2 is also run there).  it wouldn't do anything on in straight Xorg or my wm...  good luck!
[03:28] <zykotick9> s/on in/on a/
[03:32] <finetundra> Anyone around?
[03:33] <cfhowlett> !ask | finetundra
[03:33] <finetundra> Could someone help me with x11 forwarding?
[03:33] <finetundra> cfhowlett: yeah, I know
[03:33] <finetundra> Silly mistake
[03:34] <cfhowlett> ;)
[03:34] <TheReaperVirus>  So I am having this issue with the font Inconsolata-Dz. Its been
[03:34] <TheReaperVirus>                         patched for powerline but no matter the size of the font, none of the
[03:34] <TheReaperVirus>                         symbols are showing up in vim-airline's bar. Anyone know how to fix
[03:34] <TheReaperVirus>                         this.?
[03:36] <daftykins> finetundra: help how? "ssh -x username@host"
[03:36] <finetundra> daftykins: say I connected over putty, then what?
[03:36] <LonelyDanbo> I'm using dual monitors for the first time. I repositioned the 2nd monitor in the settings to be on the left side of the 1st monitor, but it's still making me get to it by moving the mouse off the right side of the 1st monitor to get to it. can I fix that?
[03:37] <daftykins> finetundra: you can't, because PuTTY doesn't have any X libs to draw anything on the Windows host... you have to use something like xming
[03:37] <Lutero> I'm gonna get denicked in a momentbut whatevs. I was here a short while ago about  dualbooting W10/Ubuntu15. Continuing..
[03:37] <finetundra> daftykins: my bad, I do have xming
[03:38] <Lutero> I've installed it alongside Windows and I'm looking at efibootmgr, and I do not see Ubuntu on the list :x
[03:38] <LonelyDanbo> "drag it to rearrange it's placement" doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.
[03:38] <daftykins> Lutero: just enter your EFI and try changing the boot device to Ubuntu / the name of the disk instead of 'Windows Boot Manager'
[03:39] <LonelyDanbo> AHAH! I had to select which one was primary before it would let me rearrange them!
[03:39] <LonelyDanbo> aw crap. i hit apply but it put everything in the secondary display because that was the left-most display. lame.
[03:40] <Lutero> Here's what it looks like http://pastebin.com/PWxKLBv1
[03:40] <LonelyDanbo> .... WTF? I guess "primary display" isn't where it puts my taskbar and such. Can I fix THAT?
[03:41] <LonelyDanbo> I mean... I guess it's kinda nice to have less clutter on my main display... the clock's on the right side of my left display...
[03:41] <Lutero> daftykins: Right. I'll try that then
[03:52] <LonelyDanbo> aw crap. my applications are all launching on the secondary display because it's on the left. I hope this won't be a problem. I noticed when I changed my game settings from OpenGL to D3D, it would totally crap the bed when I'd try to resize the window. I'd have to close the window because I couldn't see to exit the program.
[03:53] <LonelyDanbo> oh this is super annoying. resizing windows moves it from primary display to secondary as well. WTF???
[03:53] <LonelyDanbo> hm. nope. just that once.
[03:53] <daftykins> even initialism form swearing is frowned upon here.
[03:53] <cfhowlett> !wtf | LonelyDanbo
[03:54] <SeriouslyLaugh> Quick tip: alt+f7 will switch your cursor into a hand and place it on top of the first window. Click and hold (even if you cannot see) to drag it onto your primary display.
[03:54] <LonelyDanbo> initialism?
[03:54] <daftykins> series of letters that stand for something.
[03:54] <SeriouslyLaugh> Coming in at the tail end of your issue so I'm not sure if this helps, but it's a nice tip regardless.
[03:54] <cfhowlett> LonelyDanbo, imagine you are speaking with your dear ole granny - in church - and moderate your language.
[03:55] <LonelyDanbo> I'm agnostic. I'd probably just do what I did and use crap instead of what I originally intended.
[03:55] <LonelyDanbo> but... right... rules. very important rules.
[03:55] <cfhowlett> LonelyDanbo, don't.  the language guidelines apply to all - even you.
[03:56] <alazyworkaholic> Hello, I can no longer login to my account through the GUI. The screen flashes to a console for a moment, then returns to the login screen.
[03:57] <daftykins> check your /home for files not owned by you, by logging in at the TTY and checking with "ls -al ~/"
[03:57] <LonelyDanbo> so is there a way to make my primary display primary even though it's on the right side of my secondary display?
[03:57] <daftykins> remind me, you use some non-standard DE/WM right, LonelyDanbo ?
[03:57] <LonelyDanbo> I don't know what that is.
[03:58] <daftykins> nevermind then.
[04:00] <alazyworkaholic> daftykins: tks, console login works. Some files in my home directory are owned by root, e.g. .bash_aliases; .bash_aliases; .bashrc-anaconda3.bak; .dbus; .gvfs; .rpmdb         All normal?
[04:01] <almaster> anyone using ubuntu kylin?
[04:01] <cfhowlett> !kylin | almaster
[04:01] <alazyworkaholic> I looked through the forums already and saw suggestions to remove ~/.Xauthority, did that, no good. Created a new user, changes nothing.
[04:02] <cfhowlett> almaster, typically find those users using the weixin/wechat channel
[04:02] <almaster> ok thanks, I'd find out it
[04:02] <Sonderblade> alazyworkaholic: you can look in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log if anything looks fishy
[04:03] <cfhowlett> almaster, http://www.ubuntukylin.com/en_comunity/show.php?lang=en&id=187
[04:03] <almaster> thanks a lot, <cfhowlett>
[04:04] <daftykins> alazyworkaholic: sounds like you tried to 'sudo startx' at some point - very bad! run this: "sudo chown -R username:username /home/username/" then restart and try GUI login again
[04:06] <alazyworkaholic> daftykins: ok, I tried startx from the console as it was a suggestion in a forum post (without sudo), and it failed. In /var/log/Xorg.1.log I saw ¨NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the system´s kernel log for additional error messages and consult the NVIDIA README for details¨
[04:06] <alazyworkaholic> where is the kernel log?
[04:06] <daftykins> no point doing that, did you run the above already? what card do you have?
[04:07] <alazyworkaholic> NVIDIA
[04:07] <alazyworkaholic> never problematic until now
[04:09] <sa_> JOIN  channel #qtcodes
[04:09] <alazyworkaholic> Ran sudo chown -R alan:alan /home/alan. Rebooted. No effect
[04:11] <daftykins> alazyworkaholic: yeah which card specifically though? "lspci"
[04:12] <Cytus> boop
[04:14] <alazyworkaholic> If it matters, this message appears while booting (before login screen): ¨[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. See systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service´for details¨ but typing that line doesn´t seem to identify which module is causing the problem.      Card is NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti according to lspci
[04:16] <daftykins> ah ok
[04:16] <daftykins> alazyworkaholic: which ubuntu version? 15.10?
[04:17] <alazyworkaholic> Sonderblade: looking at /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log... seems to go normally up until I see ¨User alan authorized¨, then is see Sending SIGTERM, and it kind of looks like it´s restarting
[04:17] <daftykins> alazyworkaholic: "sudo apt-get purge nvidia* && sudo apt-get clean" then "sudo apt install nvidia-352" if your system is online from CLI
[04:19] <Opcode90_> I can't really find a room to ask this question in, but I'm on a Digital Ocean Ubunto 12.04 server and i managed to install psyBnc, but I'm trying to hide the ip address with one of those sentences, I see where vhost,vanity host can be entered but my question is can just anything be put in there or does it have to be some registered source or something, do i need to pay for a vhost name any
[04:19] <Opcode90_> help would be greatly appreciated.
[04:20] <daftykins> "sentences" = a domain, such as opcode90s.amazing.bnc.com ?
[04:20] <Opcode90_> yes
[04:20] <Opcode90_> exactly
[04:20] <alazyworkaholic> daftykins: 15.10
[04:20] <daftykins> Opcode90_: no idea, find a bnc channel :P
[04:21] <daftykins> !alis | Opcode90_
[04:21] <daftykins> alazyworkaholic: ok yeah follow the above commands
[04:21] <Sonderblade> alazyworkaholic: what DE are you tring to login to?
[04:21] <alazyworkaholic> daftykins: just checking - correct that it´s sudo apt install rather than sudo apt-get install? (never used it that way)
[04:21] <Opcode90_> i've looked for bnc channels only like 3 people in each of them
[04:21] <Opcode90_> but thanks anyway
[04:21] <alazyworkaholic> Sonderblade: standard ubuntu unity, didn´t do anything special to it.
[04:22] <daftykins> alazyworkaholic: yep it's new and improved
[04:22] <Sonderblade> alazyworkaholic: if you havent tested already, create a brand new user and login with that
[04:23] <Sonderblade> alazyworkaholic: then install kde and try with that. if kde works, the problem is gnome-shell/compiz something..
[04:23] <daftykins> Sonderblade: that's a horrible suggestion
[04:23] <daftykins> throwing another DE on will ruin most peoples setups
[04:24] <Sonderblade> why would it?
[04:24] <daftykins> replacing things they share, pretty common.
[04:24] <alazyworkaholic> daftykins: i purged & reinstalled nvidia as you said. No change.
[04:24] <alazyworkaholic> rebooted too
[04:25] <daftykins> and still no go with guest sessions / alternate users?
[04:25] <Sonderblade> daftykins: shrug, multiple de:s work for me
[04:26] <alazyworkaholic> daftykins: Yes, tried that. Exactly the same behaviour.
[04:26] <daftykins> Sonderblade: depends how they're installed.
[04:26] <daftykins> alazyworkaholic: probably time to reinstall some things, dunno without digging through logs more
[04:26] <Sonderblade> daftykins: and i've had several issues in the past with gnome-shell/unity not getting past the display manager, while kde was working fine
[04:27] <daftykins> that's nice, but still not good advice imo.
[04:27] <Sonderblade> ok. i disagree
[04:28] <alazyworkaholic> Noticed someting in the lightdm log: CRITICAL: session_get_login1_session_id: assertion ´session != NULL´ failed¨
[04:29] <SeriouslyLaugh> alazyworkaholic just to confirm, you're shown the greeter right? like it asks for your password?
[04:30] <alazyworkaholic> SeriouslyLaugh: Yes, the login screen with graphical background and a list of users to choose from, + guest. All very vanilla ubuntu setup.
[04:31] <SeriouslyLaugh> you could try dropping into a terminal and moving your .config and .cache files temporarily
[04:31] <SeriouslyLaugh> mv ~/.config ~/.config.BAK
[04:31] <SeriouslyLaugh> mv ~/.cache ~/.cache.BAK

[04:54] <Lutero> Back again. Linux and Windows finally work normall aside from Windows not booting from GRUB2. I can enter BIOS and select Window boot mgr to be first and it'll load Windows perfectly fine
[04:54] <SeriouslyLaugh> !ot | mekhami
[04:54] <Lutero> Any suggestions? The error is something to do with invalid image
[04:55] <SeriouslyLaugh> sounds like you may need to tinker with your grub settings
[04:55] <Lutero> I took another look at the efibootmgr util.. let me paste the info for that
[04:56] <Lutero> http://pastebin.com/kr2PE8ym is this fine?
[04:56] <daftykins> it's irrelevant
[04:57] <daftykins> just shows you now have GRUB boot first
[04:58] <Lutero> Right... I'm unsure what exactly I need to tinker with though XD
[04:59] <daftykins> so what happens when you pick the Windows entry?
[05:00] <Lutero> It'll show a rather long  error about wrong image or something. I'm not sure if I can even show you unless I cn access logs for grub

[05:04] <Excl> What bout me :( lol I'm experiencing lagspikes when gaming
[05:04] <daftykins> Excl: your post says GT120, did you mean 210?
[05:05] <SeriouslyLaugh> Excl you're asking a lot from a really underpowered machine...
[05:05] <Excl> daftykins I mean 120 lol
[05:05] <arallen> Guest29444, an IRC client
[05:05] <daftykins> nonsense, my desktop is still a core 2 quad
[05:05] <Excl> SeriouslyLaugh oh yeah, that I know...but it's held up fine back on Windows, don't see why it would have lagspikes on Ubuntu
[05:06] <daftykins> you got asked if you were using those games through wine?
[05:06] <Excl> Nope, running through steam
[05:06] <Excl> I am trying out this online game through PlayOnLinux called Perfect World...
[05:07] <Excl> seeing how that goes in a bit
[05:07] <SeriouslyLaugh> PlayOnLinux is a WINE frontend, isn't it?
[05:07] <daftykins> right but you're running steam through wine?
[05:07] <Excl> yep SeriouslyLaugh
[05:07] <daftykins> because ETS2 does not have a native Linux version
[05:07] <Excl> Uhh no, I'm using Steam's Linux client
[05:07] <Excl> well they have a linux beta daftykins
[05:08] <daftykins> not on steam?
[05:08] <Excl> at first I thought it was the game, but I tried playing some others, it has the same result
[05:08] <Excl> yeah on Steam?
[05:08] <SeriouslyLaugh> i wonder if it may be worth looking into installing proprietary drivers for that GPU
[05:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> if you have not yet done so
[05:09] <Excl> Check again daftykins, it has it for SteamOS+Linux
[05:09] <Excl> Already did SeriouslyLaugh, I had issues when trying elementary os, and moved to Ubuntu
[05:09] <daftykins> didn't see anything on the product page, but it doesn't matter - i don't consider game issues worthy of my time
[05:09] <Excl> Already on proprietary drivers I'm afraid
[05:10] <SeriouslyLaugh> hm yeah I've reached the extent of my comfort zone on this issue -- maybe ask over in the linux gaming channel Excl
[05:10] <SeriouslyLaugh> i think it is #gamingonlinux
[05:11] <Nlh1901> it supot gnacktrack
[05:11] <Excl> yeah on v340.96 proprietary SeriouslyLaugh
[05:11] <daftykins> it is in fact elementary how much a waste of time running elementary is :)
[05:11] <Pinkamena_D> I have been trying to figure out the best way to save a few monitor configurations. I have a laptop with two docks. One I use at work, with one ext monitor and the laptop monitor itself, to the left. The other is at home where I don't use the laptop monitor, but I have two external.
[05:11] <Nlh1901> i can install linux on my playbook
[05:11] <Excl> true daftykins, but it is a pretty OS
[05:11] <SeriouslyLaugh> i disagree, and use it as a daily driver. but that's neither here nor there.
[05:12] <Pinkamena_D> I don't know if it is possible to save config based on connected monitors. IT seems online that some people say this is what is supposed to be, but it does not always work, it seems to be based on the way the docking is connected.
[05:12] <daftykins> Excl: you're beginning to make me think you still use it :P
[05:13] <Nlh1901> hey guy i need help plzzzz
[05:13] <Pinkamena_D> Also one big issue I have is that if I have the laptop monitor off, and I sleep, and then remove the laptop from the dock, if I turn it back on usually it stays black and I have to force poweroff.
[05:13] <asdopas> (Lubuntu 15.04) I can't install SMplayer. I get broken dependencies, which I've listed here: https://bpaste.net/raw/dac5cd23e3b6
[05:13] <SeriouslyLaugh> Nlh1901 I don't understand your question -- did you have an issue installing?
[05:13] <Pinkamena_D> anyway, does anyone have any monitor config software they would recommend?
[05:13] <asdopas> Do I have the wrong kernel version?
[05:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> !lubuntu | asdopas
[05:15] <asdopas> That channel is too slow, and besides, Lubuntu uses the Ubuntu kernel base. I thought I'd get a faster answer here, especially since I don't think LXDE is the issue.
[05:15] <Nlh1901> can i install linux on my blayberry playbook?, thanks
[05:15] <SeriouslyLaugh> folks here aren't too keen on helping with any distribution that isn't pure Ubuntu, asdopas
[05:15] <asdopas> But I don't get it. This is an issue with APT dependencies. It would be the same if it was pure Ubuntu.
[05:16] <SeriouslyLaugh> yeah i agree. but it helps to keep the channel clutter down. there are approx 2k users here at any given time.
[05:16] <asdopas> At least tell me why I'm getting the "but...is to be installed"
[05:16] <asdopas> I don't want to wait for hours on #lubuntu
[05:17] <daftykins> SeriouslyLaugh: you're wrong, flavours are supported just fine
[05:17] <daftykins> !flavours
[05:17] <Excl> I abandoned it for Ubuntu 3 weeks ago lol daftykins
[05:17] <SeriouslyLaugh> daftykins then can we update the !lubuntu factoid?
[05:17] <daftykins> no, because the specific channels still exist, but here is also fine.
[05:19] <SeriouslyLaugh> ...ok
[05:20] <asdopas> For some reason, the added strings after the version number are throwing APT off. libgcc1 1:5.1~rc1-0ubuntu1.1 should satisfy libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1)
[05:20] <asdopas> I think
[05:20] <SeriouslyLaugh> i've seen people ask for help on each of those flavors and told to ask in their respecitve channels, so i'm just a little confused on what the rules are
[05:21] <asdopas> Are you really going to die on this hill SeriouslyLaugh? I'm not asking anything super complex
[05:21] <SeriouslyLaugh> haha nope, I just like helping and I feel bad when I give someone the wrong advice
[05:22] <asdopas> daftykins do you have any suggestions? I remember you from when you helped me with the rtl8192cu (Belkin USB dongle) and NVIDIA ancient video card kernel module mix up.
[05:22] <jaydro> hey can someone answer my question as to weather i should replace ubuntu 14.04.1 with ubuntu mate or INSTAL MATE INTO 14.04.1
[05:23] <e66> I am using a custom apt-server. I want if the apt-server downgrades a package the client should also do it. How can I do that?
[05:24] <daftykins> SeriouslyLaugh: if you do, then why do you keep trying to give people stuff you've just googled that often doesn't even apply?
[05:24] <daftykins> asdopas: i suspect you're getting offered an smplayer or package deps from some form of PPA that's ruining things
[05:24] <jaydro> Does anybody have ubuntu knowledge to give me
[05:24] <daftykins> jaydro: this is a support channel, not an experimental memory transfer lab unfortunately
[05:25] <jaydro> should i replace 14.04 lts with mate or just install it onto it
[05:25] <e66> So I have a package p with version 3. p-3 in server. Local pc is using p-3. Then the devs upload p-2 to apt-server. Now how can I install p-2 without mentioning the version name? Dont want to mention version name because devs can upload any version anytime.
[05:26] <jaydro> heyy
[05:26] <SeriouslyLaugh> daftykins no one here is getting paid, mate. we're all trying to help. relax.
[05:27] <daftykins> yeah i've been here for years helping :) i know that
[05:27] <daftykins> i'm also perfectly relaxed, i just find it annoying when you give bad advice off google results
[05:28] <asdopas> daftykins: I tried --remove on the SMplayer PPAs I had, but it didn't work
[05:28] <asdopas> Still getting the unmet dependencies error
[05:28] <daftykins> !ppapurge
[05:28] <daftykins> asdopas: share what "apt-cache policy smplayer" reports
[05:29] <asdopas> Wait, I remember this...I can use apt-cache policy smplayer pastebinit
[05:29] <asdopas> | pastebinit, sorry
[05:29] <daftykins> sure can
[05:29] <asdopas> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13554589/
[05:30] <uio> Hi - any ideas for how to use ubuntu on machines that have password protected BIOS ? No live-usb will work then... I am trying virtual-box on a usb, but cannot get a proper full screen... any other altenatives ?
[05:30] <daftykins> !info smplayer
[05:30] <daftykins> !info smplayer vivid
[05:31] <daftykins> ok so that's the 15.04 default archive package, seems alright
[05:31] <Blue1> uio: usually you can take the motherboard battery out, let it sit over night, that should reset the bios.
[05:31] <daftykins> asdopas: now try the same for one of the deps it was trying to get that's newer
[05:31] <Pinkamena_D> When I try to enable a third monitor in ubuntu I get a pop up on the screen which is "invisible" (things won't render in it) I would guess it has some error message that I can't see.
[05:31] <daftykins> !info libqtcore4 vivid
[05:32] <daftykins> that seems normal
[05:32] <Blue1> Pinkamena_D: what kind of card. I have a tiny bit of experience with 3 monitors -- a la windows and easy worship.
[05:32] <asdopas> So apt-cache policy libgcc1?
[05:32] <asdopas> Or any of them?
[05:33] <Pinkamena_D> its intel something 3000
[05:33] <Pinkamena_D> a laptop card
[05:33] <Pinkamena_D> the full line in ubuntu is : 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[05:34] <Blue1> Pinkamena_D: lspci | grep VGA      will tell you what it is.  I have never seen a labtop that could do dual graphics, let alone 3.
[05:34] <Pinkamena_D> it has two monitor outputs, the last output is the laptop screen itself
[05:34] <Blue1> Pinkamena_D: let me look that up.
[05:35] <daftykins> Blue1: it's pretty common as it goes
[05:35] <asdopas> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13554624/
[05:35] <daftykins> asdopas: yip i've got no idea why those are incompatible then
[05:35] <daftykins> asdopas: try installing the deps manually, then smplayer afterwards
[05:36] <Pinkamena_D> here is the error anyway: http://pasteboard.co/2uuHnAUq.png
[05:36] <Pinkamena_D> the part which is orange is just like a rendering dead zone, it turned orange after taking the screenshot
[05:36] <uio> Blue1: Ah - this is public computer and  don't think they'd like that !
[05:37] <Blue1> Pinkamena_D: you do have the driver for that installed yes?
[05:37] <Blue1> uio: :-(
[05:37] <asdopas> daftykins: Yeah, about that..."libgcc1 is already the newest version."
[05:37] <Pinkamena_D> for the intel card? no
[05:37] <Pinkamena_D> (I mean, the linux driver, but not a third party one)
[05:37] <Blue1> Pinkamena_D: this may/may not help:  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/13815/Intel-Graphics-Drivers-for-Linux-
[05:38] <Blue1> Pinkamena_D: it looks like that may need the intel driver -- it's worth a try.....
[05:38] <daftykins> asdopas: mmm gonna need some brighter folks then i think
[05:38] <Pinkamena_D> hmm
[05:38] <daftykins> Blue1: NO!
[05:38] <daftykins> Pinkamena_D: do not do the above
[05:38] <daftykins> never, ever install anything after the fact for intel graphics.
[05:38] <Pinkamena_D> woah, ok
[05:38] <daftykins> it will make a mess of your system and is a complete waste of time
[05:39] <daftykins> as long as your install is up to date that's the best you can really do
[05:39] <Blue1> daftykins: good to know.  I have had to install drivers for ati and they are a pain.
[05:39] <Pinkamena_D> those sneaky people over at intel! grr
[05:40] <daftykins> heh
[05:40] <daftykins> yeah AMD and nvidia require / or at least can use proprietary drivers added after, but it's not really the approach for intel
[05:40] <daftykins> i mean sometimes you can get better support with newer kernels...
[05:40] <daftykins> but sandybridge is pretty old
[05:40] <daftykins> i should know, i'm typing from one
[05:41] <Pinkamena_D> but yeah, I had three monitors working a loooong time ago, but something has happened in the middle and it stopped. I only use two monitors actually, but I want the third active because if the laptop screen it not running, then if I wake the computer after undocking, the screen never comes on at all.
[05:43] <Pinkamena_D> while asking the question a new error came up from the display config. a pop up box comes which says "Failed to apply configuration: %s" - Looks like someone forgot to provide the actual error message to print/printf? \
[05:43] <Pinkamena_D> However the error looks like it is generic, no search results look like my situation exactly...
[05:43] <hirak> interesting
[05:43] <Juggie> hey guys... maybe it would be a good idea to take 100mbit mirrors off the mirror list, or at least off the list of those the main web page keeps automatically directing you to
[05:43] <Juggie> tried 2-3 times kept getting shit downloads when just downloading the normal way, until i realized it kept picking a 100mbit mirror :(
[05:44] <Juggie> switched to a better canada mirror and all is well
[05:44] <hirak>  /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER hirak whcruahadeso
[05:44] <Canon> hello
[05:45] <SeriouslyLaugh> remove the space before /msg hirak -- and choose a different password ;)
[05:45] <daftykins> the above is a verify link, not a password.
[05:45] <daftykins> Juggie: no idea what you mean by that, but nobody here is in charge of mirrors - try #ubuntu-mirrors
[05:45] <Juggie> daftykins, just 100mbit mirrors are too slow at this point :)
[05:46] <Juggie> one user can saturate that :(
[05:46] <asdopas> I did some more digging, daftykins, here's what I found...
[05:46] <asdopas> "libqt4-dbus : Depends: libqtdbus4 (= 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu6) but 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu6.1 is to be installed"
[05:46] <Juggie> but the main site was automatically selecting it for me.
[05:46] <asdopas> apt-show-versions libqtdbus4 gives me...
[05:46] <asdopas> libqtdbus4:amd64/vivid-security 4:4.8.6+git64-g5dc8b2b+dfsg-3~ubuntu6.1 uptodate
[05:46] <asdopas> For some reason, it wants ~ubuntu6 and not ~ubuntu6.1
[05:47] <daftykins> Juggie: so you think because you'd get 10MB/sec download off one, that it's somehow slow?
[05:47] <Canon> anyone know the package that contains minicom
[05:47] <daftykins> apt-cache search minicom
[05:50] <Juggie> daftykins, its not slow if im the only downloader
[05:50] <Juggie> but i kept getting 200kb/s
[05:50] <Juggie> changed mirrors, downloaded at 15mb/s
[05:50] <Juggie> big difference
[05:51] <Juggie> and imo 100mbit would get saturated way too easily
[05:51] <Juggie> given the small list of canadian mirrors
[05:51] <Juggie> hence why i debate the purpose of listing it :)
[05:52] <tryit> Hello?
[05:53] <tryit> Anyone on that has experienced problems with Ubuntu running from an SSD ?
[05:54] <daftykins> Juggie: it is if it can rate limit per user... so i think too many assumptions are being made
[05:54] <daftykins> Juggie: oh well, talking about it in the wrong channel won't get anywhere as i say
[05:55] <daftykins> tryit: sure
[05:55] <Juggie> daftykins, np... i made comment in -mirrors
[05:55] <tryit> I have 15.10 installed on a 240GB SSD and after using it ok for a month or so it now fails boot
[05:56] <tryit> BUT
[05:56] <tryit> when I boot 14.04 LTS it mounts ok and is fully accessible
[05:57] <daftykins> tryit: err, the two versions on the same SSD, or?
[05:57] <tryit> no ... 14.04 is on a sata 320GB spindle ... sdb1 ... ssd is sda1
[05:58] <Canon> next question is I have a lvm that is a external HD that i cant mount
[05:58] <LonelyDanbo> why doesn't lm-sensors detect all my sensors?
[05:58] <LonelyDanbo> I have one for my video card and CPU, but it can't find them.
[05:59] <tryit> grub2 set it all up and it worked fine for about 2 months ... then all pssst 15.10 just failed out
[06:00] <daftykins> Canon: that doesn't make sense
[06:00] <daftykins> try and rephrase
[06:00] <tryit> gives attempt to read write outside hd(0)
[06:00] <tryit> or something close to taht
[06:02] <Canon> external HD thats a lvm theat when i try to mount it tells me the it cant be mounted
[06:03] <daftykins> Canon: you know you need to look for the logical volume name, you can't mount the /dev/sdx# partition number that's reported as being LVM?
[06:03] <daftykins> "sudo blkid" should help
[06:04] <Canon> its /dev/sda3   when i do mount -o -ro /dev/sda3 /media/mount/ it fails
[06:05] <Canon> error is mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[06:05] <daftykins> like i just said, you _CAN'T_ pick /dev/sda3 to mount
[06:05] <daftykins> due to LVM
[06:05] <daftykins> !lvm
[06:07] <tryit> daftykins: any guesses on ssd ?
[06:09] <tryit> gotta wrap for now ... ciao all

[06:44] <SeriouslyLaugh> linocisco do you mean the machine you are currently on, or another device that is connected to your network?
[06:45] <linocisco> SeriouslyLaugh, it is another device like switch or ATA

[07:03] <Sprocks> does anyone know how i would go about connecting my Ubuntu server to a PPTP server?
[07:04] <lotuspsychje> Sprocks: ask in #ubuntu-server they might know
[07:04] <Sprocks> lotuspsychje: i did, i just thought i would ask here in case someone here knew but they weren't in #ubuntu-server
[07:05] <lotuspsychje> Sprocks: sure np
[07:06] <lotuspsychje> Sprocks: perhaps the ##networking guys might also know
[07:06] <Sprocks> lotuspsychje: i hadn't thought about joining there but it wouldnt hurt to check it out :) thanks
[07:21] <linocisco> i dont remember the ip address of the device in the network. but I know it is in the network, <IP_ADDRESS>/24. how to find it?
[07:22] <Dat> linocisco: maybe some sort of packet / traffic capture?
[07:22] <Dat> tcpdump/wireshark something like that maybe
[07:23] <Sprocks> linocisco: have you tried nmap?
[07:23] <linocisco> Sprocks, not yet.
[07:24] <refgter> Sprocks: that will cause problems
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> !info etherape | linocisco
[07:27] <refgter> linocisco: yep try that
[07:27] <linocisco> lotuspsychje, thanks

[07:41] <ali__> i get the error unable to access ...
[07:41] <ali__> can anybody help me?
[07:42] <lotuspsychje> ali_: did you try /mnt or /media?
[07:42] <Abe> sorry ali I don't have a dualboot partition. if I did I would probably able to help you. let me google for you
[07:44] <Abe> ali__: here, but looks pretty complicated http://www.wikihow.com/Access-Windows-Files-in-Ubuntu
[07:50] <ali_> it says windows is hibernated
[07:50] <ali_> but i didnt
[07:50] <ali_> :|
[07:50] <Alk40> Hmm
[07:51] <Alk40>  testing the color
[07:52] <Alk40> Hello out there
[07:56] <Bitcrusher> Hey Guys.  How can I set my VGA 1 at 1920x1080  when next code doesn't work any more for my 1920x1080 display:  xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080               ??
[07:59] <Alk40> :)
[08:01] <heypaleblue> Hey guys hope everyone is ahving a good night!
[08:01] <Alk40> Hmm so it worked and now it doesn't rogo?
[08:02] <rogo> @Alk40: yeah. I disconnected a second screen to watch again TV. I can solve it co connect it back, but I prefer a handy solution.
[08:02] <rogo> *co -> to*
[08:04] <Alk40> So it works but you just want to be able to connect and disconnect at will right
[08:05] <heypaleblue> Can anyone recommened a good book that convers linux in depth? Something similar to "How Linux Works, 2nd Edtition"?
[08:05] <heypaleblue> and maybe a good python book?
[08:06] <Alk40> For python I would say anything O'Reilly
[08:07] <rogo> @Alk40 yes.
[08:08] <Alk40> @rogo to be honest I haven't messed vga in a while but for me it was automated out of the box, let me check real quick I use to use this program with it
[08:08] <heypaleblue> @Alk40 yeah They're working on a "Head First Python" Book and I'm all about that. I just wonder about something good for linux that explains it from the kernel up
[08:08] <rogo> http://www.wepaste.com/ss/
[08:09] <Alk40> If you wanna learn Linux from the ground up try building your own, you'll learn all you need to know truuuusssttt
[08:10] <heypaleblue> Building my own distro?
[08:10] <heypaleblue> huhwuh!?
[08:11] <Alk40> @heypaleblue yeah I'll shoot you a link hang on
[08:15] <Alk40> Hey ro
[08:15] <Alk40> Try to edit the values on
[08:15] <Alk40> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:16] <Alk40> Set the size of the display in the xorg.conf to what you want see if that works
[08:17] <Alk40> @rogo I think the problem is your switching between different sizes and sometime it works and sometimes it doesn't
[08:18] <Alk40> @heypaleblue http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/
[08:20] <Alk40> Zzzzzz
[08:20] <Alk40> Don't leave people
[08:21] <Alk40> Hahahaha
[08:21] <Alk40> I didn't get to help rogo :(

[08:29] <tachibana> hi
[08:30] <Alk40> @jwtijar how fast is your computer? That kind of error is usually but not always hardware related
[08:31] <jwtiyar> Alk40, yesterday i formatted all my 1TB hard and i made root , home ,swap partition  , then while installing ubuntu give a error that installation is faild
[08:31] <Alk40> @MrCeelll have you tried software center? Your version should be supported
[08:32] <jwtiyar> Alk40, now its not booting and iam on live USB now , gparted shows all hard drive unlocated
[08:32] <denbeiren_> hi all,.. i'm running a pc from a livecd to backup the (windows) userfiles
[08:32] <denbeiren_> i let it run overnight, the files where copying
[08:33] <denbeiren_> now i wake up to a frozen system
[08:33] <denbeiren_> any ideas on how to revive it ? :-)
[08:35] <jwtiyar> Alk40, and do not let me create new partition table http://postimg.org/image/7s1qx9huf/ as shown in this pic\
[08:35] <tachibana> ouch
[08:35] <Alk40> @jwtiyar are they mounted or can you mount them?
[08:36] <jwtiyar> Alk40, its very strange i created all these partition yesterday now shows all of them unlocated as u can see in above pic i posted
[08:37] <Alk40> @denbeiren that's a hard one, I don't know where to begin
[08:37] <jwtiyar> Alk40,there is nothing to mount
[08:38] <denbeiren_> Alk40: seems like it's dozed off, but i don't know how to wake it up
[08:39] <Alk40> @jwtiyar run the following command in the terminal to see if your HD is recognized
[08:39] <Alk40> sudo lshw -C disk
[08:40] <jwtiyar> Alk40, this is output http://paste.ubuntu.com/13555757/
[08:41] <jwtiyar> Alk40, first one is my Live USB
[08:43] <Alk40> @denbeiren_ should have booted with acpi=off at this point it's not looking good :(
[08:44] <denbeiren> k
[08:44] <denbeiren> i'll reboot
[08:44] <denbeiren> thx
[08:44] <Alk40> @jwtiyar ok well it read and identifies it, I was afraid it was not going to recognize it ok next step
[08:45] <jwtiyar> Alk40, but what happened to my previous partitions ? all deleted?
[08:47] <Alk40> @jwtiyar not sure but it could be d number of things from wrong port being plugged in to loose cables
[08:48] <jwtiyar> Alk40, what can i do now? its not letting me create partition also
[08:50] <Alk40> @jwtiyar can you check the smart status on the HD?
[08:50] <jwtiyar> Alk40, how?
[08:51] <Alk40> Using disk utility sorry I forgot to mention it
[08:52] <jwtiyar> Alk40, there is no Disk utility
[08:53] <Alk40> That's weird what version are you using?
[08:53] <jwtiyar> Alk40, 15.10
[08:53] <phill123> hi, is it possible to run a command through bash, but fake no X11? I have a program I'm running that runs with no GUI if X11 doesn't exist, and I want that behavior when there is X11
[08:55] <Alk40> Try disks
[08:55] <Alk40> They change the name and location but it usually comes with it to check your HD
[08:56] <jwtiyar> Alk40, shows all my created partition
[08:56] <Alk40> Check if your HD is healthy
[08:57] <jwtiyar> Alk40, gives error while self test
[08:57] <Alk40> Oh that doesn't sound good
[08:58] <jwtiyar> Alk40, wha =t can i do ? format it again?
[08:59] <Alk40> Can you screenshot the error
[09:01] <jwtiyar> Alk40, http://postimg.org/image/cc90ulh23/
[09:01] <CitizenNine> Join ##COTW
[09:05] <Alk40> Jwtiyar well it might be your HD doesn't support it but do you think your HD is not connected right?
[09:05] <SDr> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=JquGn7hL
[09:06] <Alk40> SDr what's wrong with your java?
[09:06] <jwtiyar> Alk40, i dont know but before was ok and every thing was working one day OS didnt boot and i puted another hard to my laptop , yeseterday i puted back it
[09:07] <Carlos0611> i have vsftpd installed. defaults to /home/user on connection. i want to access the /etc/www folder instead. how can this be done?
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> Carlos0611: did you try the #vsftpd channel?
[09:08] <Alk40> I think that's the issue jwtiyar, it's either failing or not connected right, your original error comes up when there is a hard ward problem
[09:08] <jwtiyar> Alk40, so when booted to my previous Ubuntu i got some error so i wanted to re format all
[09:09] <Alk40> Hardware*
[09:09] <Alk40> How old is your HD?
[09:09] <jwtiyar> Alk40, may be 3 or 4 years
[09:10] <Alk40> I hope I'm wrong but your HD might be failing, have you dropped it or anything of that nature?
[09:11] <jwtiyar> Alk40, no as i said one day suddenly didnt boot my ubunru and my windows
[09:12] <jwtiyar> Alk40, u r right the problem with the hard
[09:12] <jwtiyar> Alk40, i will change it if i cant fix it
[09:19] <finexbeer> hi
[09:19] <puckz> Hello
[09:19] <finexbeer> i cant belyv that i m alive
[09:20] <finexbeer> i daid 34 yers a go an i cam back a live
[09:20] <lotuspsychje> !ot | finetundra_
[09:22] <puckz> What?
[09:22] <lotuspsychje> puckz: do you have an ubuntu question?
[09:43] <motaka2> While starting ubuntu 12.04 after seeing the grub os selection page , I see the mouse pointer for a secons and then I see a black screen. I tried to load by editing the grub with nomodeset by pressing ctrl+e and then then changing it and then pressing ctrl+x
[09:43] <motaka2> but not only nothiing changed but also after the restart I see nomodeset is removed from the grub, the investigations show that the hard drive is not failing and there is no hardware issue
[09:43] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: you still messing on that issue<?
[09:43] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: why dont you just install 14.04.3?
[09:44] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I dont want to reinstall the softwares once again. I also dont have a hard drive to backup things
[09:45] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: did you try booting a previous kernel yet?
[09:45] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I dont know how to do that
[09:45] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: you know howto enter grub right?
[09:46] <Dreaman> motaka2 esc and old all kernel in boot
[09:46] <Dreaman> and use one
[09:46] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: is the the page shooing each time at startup ?
[09:47] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: normally grub should not show every boot, but probably yes
[09:47] <Dreaman> nikolov@ubuntu-ivan:~$ inxi -F
[09:47] <Dreaman> System:    Host: ubuntu-ivan Kernel: 4.3.0-040300-generic x86_64 (64 bit)  motaka2  onstall 4.3
[09:47] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I should choose previous linux versions ?
[09:47] <Dreaman> install
[09:48] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: try yes, to get in your system again
[09:48] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: try yes?
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: try to boot a previous kernel, yes
[09:49] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: HOW?
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: enter grub and load a previous kernel
[09:49] <lotuspsychje> !grub | motaka2 read it
[09:50] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I dont know how to enter grub, and I dont know how to do other things
[09:50] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: hold shift to enter grub
[09:50] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: you just said you did nomodeset, so you did enter grub before
[09:51] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I am in grub
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: try what Dreaman suggested
[09:52] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: Please tell me step by step what I should do
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: in your grub you see a list, ubuntu,ubuntu(recoverymode),previous kernel
[09:54] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: then choose an older kernel to boot and enter
[09:54] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: there are previous linux versions but not previous kernel
[09:55] <haskell_> Is there a way to freeze ubuntu at a certain time? I.e. I want to force myself to take breaks, and would like a cronjob that freezes the mouse/keyboard for 15 mins?
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: yes previous linux kernels
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: choose a previous one and press enter on it
[09:55] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: It is previous linux VERSIONS not KERNELS
[09:56] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: tell us what you see in the list
[10:00] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I took a picture an dI am waiting for dropbox ...
[10:03] <motaka2> akik: Are you there?

[10:05] <rogger_h> Hey guys , i have a vps with a website on but from some reason my space is getting over in GBS ... something fill the disk and it shouldnt , ideas?
[10:05] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: choose a previous kernel 3.2....
[10:06] <lotuspsychje> rogger_h: maybe the ##networking guys know this?
[10:07] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: whatever makes your pc boot...try them all
[10:07] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: They are so so many
[10:07] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: try them one by one, until you get in your system
[10:07] <rogger_h> ok
[10:08] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: Thus is not effective
[10:08] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: try it first before you complain
[10:08] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: They are about 300
[10:09] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: you dont need all 300, you need 1 to get back in your system
[10:09] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: So why are you asking me to try 300 ? I tries two 3.2.* and they were the same
[10:10] <motaka2> none of them worked
[10:10] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: your system is really broke mate, install 14.04.3 clean
[10:10] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: you have a broken upgrade, cant enter recoverymode and cant enter previous kernels
[10:10] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: Ok, wil TJ- come here today ?
[10:10] <lotuspsychje> =reinstall
[10:12] <Dreaman> motaka2 install 4.3
[10:12] <Dreaman> kernel
[10:12] <motaka2> Dreaman: How?
[10:12] <Dreaman> 32 or 64

[10:18] <motaka2> Dreaman: mine is bad too. I have a great Bulgarian friend whose english is bettr than both of us
[10:18] <Dreaman> ok

[10:22] <Dreaman> http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/02/55/2bd2ef277beb0255.png  motaka2 evrithing work for me and 4k video use in ubuntu see
[10:22] <motaka2> Dreaman: Thanks for you great help. I'll try to install 4.3
[10:23] <Dreaman> ok
[10:23] <motaka2> I need rest. whenever ubuntu changes version I am in trouble
[10:24] <Dreaman> motaka2 reintall 15.10
[10:24] <Dreaman> reinstall
[10:24] <cfhowlett> you know what to do, you just don't want to do it.
[10:24] <motaka2> cfhowlett: What should I do? I dont know
[10:24] <cfhowlett> as SO many have suggested ... clean install.
[10:25] <motaka2> cfhowlett: I cant do that. Doing that is simple but I will lose all my data
[10:25] <cfhowlett> don't format your /home and you should be fine.
[10:26] <cfhowlett> but you backed up all data first anyway, so ... should not be a problem
[10:26] <SCHAAP137> my 15.10 installation hangs quite often, when shutting down; how can i find out what makes it hang?
[10:26] <lotuspsychje> SCHAAP137: F1 to see text shutdown errro?
[10:26] <SCHAAP137> F1 at the moment of hanging?
[10:26] <motaka2> cfhowlett: So can you guide me step by step? I have a 14.04 LIVE dvd, should I use that ?
[10:26] <JasperDK> Hi all. I'm trying to mount a CIFS-share automatically at login with pam_mount, but I'm getting this error message in auth.log: "Luser volume for /home/jni/Music is missing options that are required by global <mntoptions>". Anybody got an idea what that option could be? I've pasted my .pam_mount.conf.xml to http://pastebin.com/hJVC1cDB
[10:27] <lotuspsychje> SCHAAP137: or tail -f /var/log/syslog and shutdown
[10:27] <SCHAAP137> hmm, good idea
[10:27] <cfhowlett> motaka2, that'll work.  use the same partitions you currently have.  format all EXCEPT your /home
[10:28] <cfhowlett> but FIRST backup your /data.  DO NOT proceed before you have your backup completed
[10:29] <Ubik_>  /quit
[10:29] <lotuspsychje> SCHAAP137: you can also edit grub "quiet splash" to "" to textboot/text shutdown
[10:29] <shookees>  /ragequit
[10:29] <Ubik_> :)
[10:29] <Ubik_> strange behaviour
[10:30] <Dat> can ubuntu be downgraded easily or can I install and older version over a newer version?
[10:31] <cfhowlett> Dat, yes to both questions.
[10:31] <cfhowlett> but old versions?  why?
[10:32] <Sprocks> does anyone know how i would go about connecting my Ubuntu server to a PPTP server?
[10:32] <cfhowlett> Sprocks, might ask #ubuntu-server
[10:32] <Sprocks> cfhowlett: i did also ask there, thanks
[10:32] <Dat> cfhowlett: currently I use 14.10 but I experience application freezing, and other random problems when I used 14.04 I had no such problems.
[10:33] <Dat> cfhowlett: how does one downgrade to 14.04 from 14.10?
[10:33] <lotuspsychje> !eol | Dat
[10:33] <cfhowlett> Dat, download 14.04, make aboot USB,  boot and install
[10:33] <Dat> cfhowlett: I dont have to format do I?
[10:34] <cfhowlett> Dat, you should.  backup your data first.
[10:34] <PanicSkittle> anyone else running 15.04 had netflix stop working today?
[10:34] <motaka2> cfhowlett: I am hungry
[10:34] <cfhowlett> ??? off-topic.
[10:34] <Dat> hrmm darn
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> PanicSkittle: try launch from terminal, see what errors you get?
[10:35] <Dat> I belive that'll screw up my dual boot
[10:35] <motaka2> cfhowlett: booting from the dvd rom
[10:35] <PanicSkittle> launch netflix from terminal?
[10:35] <PanicSkittle> what
[10:35] <Dat> cfhowlett: whats the best way to backup and restore? I'd rather not have to reconfigure everything
[10:35] <motaka2> cfhowlett: Install ubuntu ?
[10:35] <cfhowlett> !backup | Dat
[10:35] <lotuspsychje> PanicSkittle: how do you watch? chrome? chromium?
[10:35] <PanicSkittle> firefox
[10:35] <cfhowlett> motaka2, already advised you to exactly that - as have many others.
[10:35] <fennesz> Hello ! Does anyone know of any hard disk with hardware write-protection
[10:36] <PanicSkittle> i guess i can try chrome
[10:36] <lotuspsychje> PanicSkittle: ok try start firefox from terminal and watch netflix
[10:36] <motaka2> cfhowlett: What will happen to /var/www   ?
[10:36] <lotuspsychje> PanicSkittle: or try chrome/chromium yes
[10:36] <cfhowlett> motaka2, backup everything you want saved.
[10:36] <lotuspsychje> fennesz: ask in ##hardware please
[10:37] <Dat> cfhowlett: thanks for the info
[10:37] <motaka2> cfhowlett: I dont have a hard drive to back them up
[10:37] <cfhowlett> happy2help! dat
[10:37] <fennesz> lotuspsychje, thank you !
[10:37] <cfhowlett> motaka2, then wait until you do.  USB, external HDD, whatever you must do.
[10:37] <motaka2> what will happen to php and apache ?
[10:38] <motaka2> cfhowlett: god bless you. you are so smart
[10:41] <lotuspsychje> SCHAAP137: any luck?
[10:42] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: What about me?
[10:42] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: ?
[10:42] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: What should I do ?
[10:42] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: how many times should we tell you the same?
[10:43] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I cant have clean install
[10:43] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: then you will have more trouble
[10:43] <SCHAAP137> lotuspsychje, no, it didn't do it this time
[10:43] <Dat> sigh i wish this downgrade could be abit easier
[10:44] <motaka2> I hate linux
[10:44] <cfhowlett> Dat, in future, consider using LTS releases only.
[10:44] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: its not linux fault, your system is broken
[10:44] <Dat> yeah
[10:44] <Dat> 14.04 is LTS right?
[10:44] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: no
[10:44] <cfhowlett> Dat, indeed.  next LTS = 16.04
[10:45] <Dat> 16.04 isn't out yet is it?
[10:45] <cfhowlett> april (04) 2016 (16)
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> Dat: in daily builds yes, as developement branch
[10:45] <motaka2> Dat: no the last is 14.04
[10:45] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: install it yourself
[10:46] <Dat> hrmmm ok
[10:46] <cfhowlett> Dat, but you should not be doing development releases as they are not ready for prime time.  Unless you don't mind all the beta testing and breakages.
[10:46] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: install what ? some packages were upgraded and linux is not working. what if  next time this happens again ?
[10:47] <Dat> cfhowlett: I mind i've been dealing with these problems for months now
[10:47] <Dat> did and accidental upgrade to 14.10
[10:47] <cfhowlett> Dat, doh!
[10:47] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: upgrades can always turnout badly, thats why you need to create backups
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: buy a cheap hd/usb to keep your files on
[10:48] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: my windows laptop is so slow. I dont have money to buy a hard drive. and OSes break all the time :(
[10:49] <knoppix> hi nice day
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: install lubuntu on your slow laptop to speed it up and backup your data to there
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> motaka2: there are tons of things to try, and you keep talking here without action
[10:54] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: my laptops DVD and usb ports are not working  and it doesnt have free space in there
[10:54] <motaka2> lotuspsychje: I will do some  thing about it. Dont worry
[10:55] <eahmedshendy> Hi I have this in my auth.log (Ubuntu 14.04): http://paste.ubuntu.com/13556599/
[10:56] <eahmedshendy> Is that something to be afraid of? Or what does is mean, I am new in Linux administration, and I just search for something weired
[10:56] <ikonia> eahmedshendy: don't worry
[10:56] <ikonia> eahmedshendy: it just means the reverse dns of the person accessing your host doesn't match
[10:57] <eahmedshendy> ikonia: what do you mean by that? there is someone accessing our server from <ip_address>.etisalat.com.eg ?
[10:57] <ikonia> why are you hiding the IP address ?
[10:58] <ikonia> eahmedshendy: but yes, it means someone is trying to access your host from that IP address, however the reverse DNS map doesn't match it
[10:58] <eahmedshendy> Because I don't know if that host is related to us or not
[10:58] <eahmedshendy> I will read about reverse DNS map, to understand it
[10:58] <eahmedshendy> ikonia
[10:59] <eahmedshendy> There is also another warning here I didn't get yet, "[mysqld] warning: can't get client address: Connection reset by peer"
[10:59] <eahmedshendy> get == understand
[10:59] <ikonia> eahmedshendy: someone is trying to connect to the mysql port
[11:00] <eahmedshendy> But this is authentication message? I mean someone fails to connect to the mysql database using a specific password?
[11:00] <eahmedshendy> ikonia
[11:01] <ikonia> it's a message from mysqld it's nothing to do with the password
[11:03] <eahmedshendy> ikonia: Ok, thank you
[11:03] <Carlos0611> ./var/www/html/wp-content/uploads is the upload_path, what chmod should this folder be? I gave it 775 which fixed the issue i was having, in terms of security what should it be? wordpress
[11:03] <ikonia> eahmedshendy: you'll get better responses from people if you don't cross post the same question in 4 - 5 channels at the same time
[11:04] <ikonia> Carlos0611: the web server owner (apache) needs to have write access
[11:04] <ikonia> that is the risk you can't avoid
[11:04] <Carlos0611> its for where wordpress uploads its themes and files
[11:04] <eahmedshendy> ikonia: :), I don't who what channel will have the information for my issue, but I will take your recommendation
[11:04] <ikonia> Carlos0611: I know what it's there for
[11:04] <ikonia> but that doesn't change what I just said
[11:05] <Carlos0611> oh lol
[11:05] <Carlos0611> k so 775 it is
[11:05] <ikonia> that seems too open
[11:05] <ikonia> that's having the group open
[11:24] <bleh> Hi. I ran an lvmresize but it's taking forever, any thought on how to see the progress ?
[11:29] <b3h3m0th> Is it possible to create a wifi hotspot with custom network IP address in ubunut ?
[11:29] <b3h3m0th> *ubuntu
[11:31] <b3h3m0th> Currently when I do the "Use as hostpot", a hotspot gets created with <IP_ADDRESS>/24 IP range. But I am already on an ethernet network with same range. So I need to use different network address for the hotspot
[11:31] <ikonia> it's creating the hotspot with that range because you're on that network
[11:31] <ikonia> you'd need to bring up a different interface do host the other range
[11:32] <ikonia> there maybe a setting within network manager to change the range of the hotspot
[11:32] <b3h3m0th> obviously they are different interfaces
[11:32] <b3h3m0th> wlan0 and eth0
[11:32] <b3h3m0th> ikonia: yes, and I am looking for what that setting is
[11:32] <b3h3m0th> where to do that and how
[11:33] <ikonia> no idea without looking
[11:33] <ikonia> I suspect it's taking the range of your WIFI interface to extend it
[11:33] <ikonia> range
[11:33] <ikonia> thats how it's creating the hotspot, to join in to the existing rang
[11:35] <nub> hi
[11:35] <ikonia> this is interesting, if you set up the hotspot like this, you maybe able to set the range inthe ipv4 tab as it looks like it uses dnsmasq to host the dhcp range
[11:35] <ikonia> http://askubuntu.com/questions/180733/how-to-setup-an-access-point-mode-wi-fi-hotspot
[11:36] <nub> have you got to be very good at programmimg for google code in
[11:36] <ikonia> nub: pardon ?
[11:37] <b3h3m0th_> did I miss anything ?
[11:37] <b3h3m0th_> ikonia:
[11:37] <ikonia> this is interesting, if you set up the hotspot like this, you maybe able to set the range inthe ipv4 tab as it looks like it uses dnsmasq to host the dhcp range
[11:38] <ikonia> http://askubuntu.com/questions/180733/how-to-setup-an-access-point-mode-wi-fi-hotspot
[11:38] <ikonia> have a read on that, and see if you can set the hotspot that way and set the ipv4 settings, I think dnsmasq will use those settings to setup the range
[11:38] <ikonia> (I'm not %100 sure without looking myself)
[11:38] <OneM_Industries> Hey, I have a question. I was wondering if there was a free alternative to Landscape, as I will not be using it for a company, but instead for my own use with a dozen computers at max.
[11:39] <ikonia> nope
[11:39] <ikonia> it's a comercial product
[11:39] <OneM_Industries> Drat.
[11:39] <ikonia> there are other tools you can use, such as an ENC with puppet (for example)
[11:39] <OneM_Industries> Ok.
[11:40] <OneM_Industries> I am mainly just trying to learn, so my budget is "As little as possible." ;P
[11:40] <OneM_Industries> (Not that I wouldn't support the devs if I actually had money)
[11:43] <ikonia> OneM_Industries: looks like there isa  30 day free trial
[11:43] <OneM_Industries> Hm, that might work.

[12:02] <hedenclod> Hello, I've been trying to speed up my boot time which I did, except the kernel startup time
[12:02] <hedenclod> I've read about mkinitcpio, but I can't seem to install it or find it in any ubuntu repo
[12:08] <MonkeyDust> hedenclod  mkinitcpio is for arch, not for ubuntu
[12:08] <MonkeyDust> (is what i read here)
[12:09] <hedenclod> oh too bad
[12:13] <pokmo> hi
[12:13] <pokmo> when a file stored on a network drive is opened in nautilus, where is the file temporary stored/cached?
[12:14] <ikonia> in /tmp or your home directory, or ram
[12:14] <ikonia> depends on how your implmentation is configured
[12:14] <pokmo> ikonia: right. do you know how to find out exactly where it's stored?
[12:14] <ikonia> pokmo: why don't you tell us the real problem ?
[12:15] <pokmo> ikonia: i just want to make sure it's not writing to my main drive which is a SSD
[12:15] <ikonia> so look in /tmp look in your home directory and look on the network share's same current working directory (very unlikely)
[12:16] <ikonia> you'll most likley see it in ram, unless it's too big
[12:16] <pokmo> well, i've looked at /tmp and they don't seem to be tehre
[12:16] <ikonia> and to be honest, does it matter if it's writing to your ssd
[12:16] <pokmo> ikonia: do you know how to check if it's stored in ram?
[12:16] <ikonia> if it's open - it's stored in ram
[12:17] <ikonia> and as I said, does it matter if it's writing to your ssd ?
[12:17] <pokmo> ikonia: well, i bought my drive just a yr and a bit ago, now it's only got 60% life left
[12:17] <ikonia> have you set it up properly, eg: using trim ?
[12:17] <pokmo> so i want to investigate the cause of the rapid deterioration
[12:18] <ikonia> how are you working out %60 life ?
[12:18] <pokmo> yes, it's trim enabled
[12:19] <pokmo> the wear level count is 524
[12:19] <ikonia> how are you working that out ?
[12:20] <pokmo> i pulled the drive out and plugged it into my OSX box. ran DriveDx on it
[12:20] <ikonia> not sure I'd trust that personally
[12:20] <pokmo> and total LBAs Written: 18.2TB
[12:22] <ikonia> run lsof against the bo
[12:22] <ikonia> box
[12:22] <ikonia> see what's open while you've got the file open
[12:22] <ikonia> I seriously doubt that even huge numbers of opening temporary files would put that ammount of stress on it
[12:23] <anonymousgrey1> hello
[12:23] <pokmo> right
[12:34] <Kiborg> Hello. I have Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit with Geforce GTX 970. I am using Nvidia propertary drivers form additional drivers. Until recently it has wokred like charm, but after the latest update I am unable to even log in, I get login loop.
[12:35] <ikonia> what's a login loop ?
[12:36] <Kiborg> when you login and get thrown right back to the login screen
[12:36] <Kiborg> Login via console works
[12:36] <ikonia> then what do the logs say ?
[12:37] <blb31750> looper...
[12:37] <ikonia> what ?
[12:38] <blb31750> there's a movie called looper
[12:38] <Kiborg> how do I check that?
[12:38] <ikonia> how does that have anythig to do with this channel or the discussion
[12:38] <blb31750> sorry, just couldn't resist
[12:38] <ikonia> Kiborg: there is a selection of logs in /var/log that X server log, the syslog, the security log
[12:38] <ikonia> blb31750: then please don't, it's not helpful
[12:39] <cfhowlett> !behelpful | blb31750
[12:42] <Kiborg> Ikona: That is strange, the login loop is gone... Now the only problem is I have no Unity just desktop, no windows at all
[12:43] <ikonia> that strikes me as a problem with your desktop config, rather than the graphics card/drivers
[12:43] <ikonia> create a new user, login as that new user,
[12:43] <ikonia> see if hte problem is system wide, or just your user
[12:45] <blb31750> just trying to figure out what would be the optimal way to split 128GiB SSD into root and home partitions? Shoult 15GiB be minimum for the root?
[12:45] <ikonia> depend on your setup
[12:46] <ikonia> you can run it on as little as 2G,
[12:46] <ikonia> it's a personal choice you need to make/work ou
[12:46] <ikonia> out
[12:46] <k1l> blb31750: for general desktop usage something around 15GB is fine
[12:46] <blb31750> desktop
[12:46] <cfhowlett> blb31750, I have ubuntustudio + all alternate packages.  13 GB all told.
[12:46] <variuss> hi i just installed ubuntu 15.10
[12:46] <variuss> and i cant find where move  window control buttons to right side
[12:47] <blb31750> it's because not all packages are allowed to be installed into /opt
[12:47] <ikonia> nothing goes in /opt by default
[12:48] <k1l> blb31750: /opt means 3rd party stuff you install not using the package management. that is totally your own decision and choice. we cant know about that
[12:56] <Kiborg> Ikona: Sorry it took so long, I am not the best at this. So I created a new user and it works!
[12:56] <Kiborg> But this brings me to the first problem
[12:56] <ikonia> Kiborg: so that means your user enviornment is broken
[12:56] <ikonia> rather than anything to do with your system
[12:56] <Kiborg> I think I know why
[12:57] <Kiborg> Something is wrong with nvidia drivers
[12:57] <ikonia> why do you say that ?
[12:57] <ikonia> you've just proven they are working fine
[12:57] <Kiborg> New user is using Noveau I am using nvidia updates
[12:58] <ikonia> you can't have a new user usign different drivers from another user
[12:58] <ikonia> they are kernel level modules and configured in the X server  not per user
[12:58] <Kiborg> Oh ok sorry
[12:58] <Kiborg> Assumed wrong then
[12:58] <ikonia> why did you assume the new user was using noveau ?
[12:58] <Kiborg> I checked
[12:59] <Kiborg> He does
[12:59] <ikonia> checked what ? how ?
[12:59] <k1l> Kiborg: loginto the terminal with that user (ctrl+alt+t) then make "mv .config .configbackup"
[12:59] <k1l> then relogin to that user.
[12:59] <Kiborg> Under the additional drivers, the noveau are chosen
[12:59] <ikonia> noveau is not an additional driver
[13:00] <ikonia> it's part of the kernel
[13:00] <ikonia> I'm not really confident with the information you're giving me
[13:00] <Kiborg> Sorry about that
[13:00] <ikonia> the nvidia "drivers" are system wide and confiurd in the xorg server,
[13:00] <ikonia> I suggest you skip to the solution as k1l suggested
[13:01] <ikonia> remove your user config from the broken user, login, make sure the problem is gone, and then rebuild your personal settings
[13:07] <frite> did anyone see that o_O?
[13:08] <k1l> frite: see what?
[13:14] <Kiborg> Ikona and k1l: It works! Thank you!
[13:48] <bgardner> I've set up mail & calendar integration with Google using online accounts and now Evolution syncs the Calendar up nicely and shows my email.

[13:51] <cfhowlett> Dat, hold off on that for a bit.
[13:52] <accident> How do I load the latests drivers for the lan?
[13:52] <Dat> cfhowlett: yeah configureing the software notify now
[13:52] <Dat> cfhowlett: yeah I was thinking grab what I need when I need it
[13:52] <Dat> time to figure out how to disable the touchpad while mouse is plugged in
[13:53] <cfhowlett> Dat, I settings > mouse and touchpad > device          enable or disable as required
[13:54] <Dat> cfhowlett: just found it
[13:54] <cristian_c> it seems to belong to official repositories but I can't find it with a search
[13:54] <Dat> all better now hate the touch pad
[13:55] <cfhowlett> Dat, I don't hate it, but I have found it virtually unusable due to lack of sensitivity settings.  Mine in WAY too delicate.
[13:55] <Dat> cfhowlett: yeah thats how mine is thats why i dont like it
[13:55] <accident> how do i load ethernet drivers?
[13:56] <cfhowlett> Dat, I purchased the dell keyboard/mouse combo and disabled my trackpad .
[13:56] <cristian_c> How could I find more info about this?
[13:56] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[13:57] <Dat> cfhowlett: ahh i'm using a laptop so I just bought a mouse
[13:57] <cfhowlett> dat well, happy you're happy.  any other issues outstanding??
[13:57] <macskay_> hi guys, i just added a user to www-data and tried to use mkdir inside a /var/www/html/... folder which is 755 to www-data, but still can't create a subfolder. I tried re-logging, still nothing.
[13:58] <macskay_> What am I missing?
[13:58] <Dat> haven't tested my windows install yet, however I did see it in the grub menu so thats a good sign... right now just trying to get all my settings back and missing packages
[13:58] <Dat> cfhowlett: currently getting virtualbox and tools together
[13:59] <Dat> cfhowlett: and a script to audo switch sound outputs on a hotkey
[13:59] <cfhowlett> Dat, I dropped my win7 into a virtualbox in ubuntu since I can count the number of times I use windows in the single digits
[14:00] <Dat> cfhowlett: I remember maybe a year ago or so that when the laptop goes to sleep or the screen saver it has a problem waking back up do you know if this is fixed or is some script still needed for that?
[14:01] <cfhowlett> Dat, xscreensaver conflicts with lightlockerDM.  recommendation is to avoid using it.
[14:01] <Dat> cfhowlett: avoid using xscreensaver?
[14:02] <cfhowlett> indeed.
[14:02] <cfhowlett> Dat, you're on xubuntu or ubuntu??
[14:04] <cfhowlett> Dat, http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/
[14:05] <MonkeyDust> Dat  what you can try: use rsync and 'screen' to make your backups, you can then even logout without interrupting the backup process, so i guess the screensaver would not harm either
[14:07] <HoloIRCUser4> I'm on 14.04.3 is
[14:08] <HoloIRCUser4> How
[14:09] <Dat> cfhowlett: sorry got called away
[14:09] <Dat> cfhowlett: I am using kubuntu
[14:09] <cfhowlett> Dat, http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/
[14:09] <Dat> cfhowlett: ok i'll check that out
[14:10] <Dat> MonkeyDust: sounds like I'd need to write a script and crontab
[14:10] <Dat> MonkeyDust: probably some sort of auto-mount to my nas to
[14:16] <Dat> cfhowlett: looks like I may not even have xscreensaver so I might be safe on that
[14:16] <scorpio32> Black Arch or Knoppix?
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> Dat  yes, like 'if (exists) nas-mountpoint; execute backup script; else mount nas; execute backup script'

[15:15] <Hund> Software sources.
[15:16] <Hund> " For the latest versions of Ubuntu, the easiest way is to go through the "Ubuntu Software Center". Open the software center, then from the Edit menu select "Software Sources"."
[15:16] <Hund> I havent used Ubuntu since 2010, so I'm a bit rusty. :P

[15:44] <Exagone313> Hi, each times I want to use screen, I have this message: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check. so I have to chown this file every times to use screen on a new user... Is there any workaround? Thanks for your help.
[15:47] <SchrodingersScat> Exagone313: that's funny, I just did that as well
[15:47] <Exagone313> lol
[15:47] <Exagone313> I do it like every days
[15:50] <SchrodingersScat> Exagone313: yeah, seems to set a new one each ssh session, so every time my machine disconnects from another
[15:50] <Exagone313> here, I'm connected via ssh, and I need to use screen for two users, it's annoying.
[15:56] <v3rsi0n> why i am getting this error while installing terminology?

[15:58] <Rafibd01717> anybody see me?
[15:59] <Rafibd01717> Well I installed mongodb according to this tutorial... http://www.in2rafi.com/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts/
[15:59] <v3rsi0n> sorry i am new to xchat irc.. i dont know the rules
[15:59] <Rafibd01717> after it I removed mongodb using sudo apt-get remove mongodb command
[16:00] <v3rsi0n> i got error while installing terminology in ubuntu 15.10
[16:00] <Rafibd01717> but when I run update I see this message.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/13546921/
[16:00] <Rafibd01717> How can I completely remove mongodb files and make my system as it is before installation of mongodb
[16:01] <v3rsi0n> Morning it was working well. but when i try to run terminology it says like libelelementary.so.2 at /usr/lib/ : file couldnot be found
[16:01] <SchrodingersScat> Rafibd01717: that seems to say it couldn't connect to your 3rd party repo at all
[16:02] <Rafibd01717> SchrodingersScat, I see
[16:02] <HeisenbergsDog> Exagone313: tmux > screen
[16:02] <Rafibd01717> what is the solution?
[16:03] <Exagone313> HeisenbergsDog: screen is supposed to work isn't it?
[16:03] <SchrodingersScat> Rafibd01717: you could remove the repo for the mongodb
[16:03] <Exagone313> it does not work as expected
[16:03] <Rafibd01717> SchrodingersScat, let me know the process
[16:04] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: `sudo apt-get purge mongodb`, then try to update again.
[16:04] <HeisenbergsDog> Exagone313, sure. but tmux is cooler anyway.
[16:05] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: "Purging" is your "completely remove package" action you'relooking for. It ensures config files, global settings, etc, are removed.
[16:06] <sachin> hello friends
[16:06] <sachin> i just install KVM for Android SDK
[16:06] <sachin> but still unable to do it
[16:06] <sachin> is it necessary to install ubuntu on VM
[16:07] <SchrodingersScat> Rafibd01717: if that's the tutorial you followed then you would be looking for "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list" but that doesn't seem to match the repo you mentioned, so not sure.
[16:08] <sachin> actually after installing KVM is it essential to have an OS on it
[16:08] <Rafibd01717> agent_white, actually I get nothing http://paste.ubuntu.com/13559831/
[16:09] <Rafibd01717> SchrodingersScat, can you let me know what to do now?
[16:10] <Guest51511> ciao
[16:10] <SchrodingersScat> Rafibd01717: if you have the file mentioned, I would remove it, and that should put you back to before you did the tutorial.
[16:10] <Guest51511> ay italian male
[16:10] <Guest51511> ay italian male
[16:10] <Rafibd01717> SchrodingersScat, you mean manual remove?
[16:11] <teward> Guest51511: not the right channel or network for that, please stop.
[16:11] <sachin> i created a kernel based virtual machine for Android SDK
[16:12] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: If you've removed /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list, then to finish up, revoke the gpg key you added.
[16:12] <sachin> and as we gave the ISO image of Ubuntu
[16:12] <sachin> then it starts doing it
[16:13] <SchrodingersScat> Rafibd01717: you can move it somewhere else if you're concerned about losing it, but it should be one line of text.
[16:13] <sachin> ok now will do it installation on it then will be back to you
[16:13] <agent_white> sachin: If you're trying to figure out your Android SDK, join #android... or ##android. I forget which.
[16:13] <sachin> oh
[16:13] <sachin> that is good
[16:13] <agent_white> SchrodingersScat: Nah no need, he can just remove it entirely.
[16:14] <agent_white> Then revoke the gpg key he added.
[16:14] <Rafibd01717> SchrodingersScat, well what is the file remove command in terminal?
[16:14] <SchrodingersScat> Rafibd01717: rm
[16:14] <Rafibd01717> sudo rm filename?
[16:14] <SchrodingersScat> Rafibd01717: yes
[16:15] <v3rsi0n> is there a way / command that i can completely reset my ubuntu like fresh new?
[16:15] <SchrodingersScat> backup and reinstall?
[16:15] <agent_white> v3rsi0n: Re-install :)
[16:16] <Rafibd01717> SchrodingersScat, well I removed the both files from their
[16:16] <Rafibd01717> now whats next?
[16:17] <agent_white> Both?
[16:17] <agent_white> There should have been only one.
[16:17] <v3rsi0n> yeh... already backup data.. now i will reinstall :D (headache)
[16:17] <SchrodingersScat> Rafibd01717: should be done, next time you do a sudo apt-get update you shouldn't see the error.
[16:17] <Rafibd01717> you mean mongo is now completely purged?
[16:17] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: Revoke the gpg key.
[16:18] <Rafibd01717> agent_white, I am not sure about what you are talking?
[16:18] <SchrodingersScat> it should have been removed after the apt-get purge, you can use find to look for straggling directories though. find / -iname "*mongodb*"
[16:18] <Rafibd01717> what is gpg key?
[16:18] <Rafibd01717> and how to revoke it?
[16:18] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: In the first step of your tutorial, you add a gpg key for the new repo.
[16:18] <Rafibd01717> yes
[16:18] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: This allows you to talk to that repo. Looks like you added in the key... 7F0CEB10
[16:18] <Rafibd01717> as I am removing mongo why should I revoke it?
[16:18] <Rafibd01717> ok
[16:19] <Rafibd01717> now why should I revoke it?
[16:19] <mariano> Is there a way to incorporate ubuntu's workspace view (for workspace management) on Xubuntu?
[16:19] <agent_white> Because you're no longer using it. (It was added for that repo)
[16:20] <Rafibd01717> agent_white, I see.
[16:20] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: `gpg --edit-key 7F0CEB10`
[16:20] <Rafibd01717> how can I revoke it?
[16:20] <agent_white> Read my command above.
[16:21] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: http://askubuntu.com/questions/142258/how-do-i-revoke-a-pgp-key
[16:22] <Rafibd01717> agent_white, I did gpg --edit-key 7F0CEB10
[16:22] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: Really, you don't _need_ to do this, but you can for good practice.
[16:23] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: If that didn't work, do `gpg --list-keys` and find the one relating to mongo.
[16:23] <Rafibd01717> it gave me this... http://paste.ubuntu.com/13560079/
[16:23] <Rafibd01717> agent_white,
[16:23] <Rafibd01717> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13560079/
[16:24] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: `sudo apt-key del 7F0CEB10`
[16:25] <Rafibd01717> doing this agent_white
[16:26] <blb31750> is overprovisioning still relevant for ssd drives? should i keep some amount of unallocated space?
[16:26] <Rafibd01717> agent_white, well now I see this when I do sudo apt-get update ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/13560150/
[16:27] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: Key expired, need to update your keylist.
[16:28] <Rafibd01717> agent_white, I see
[16:28] <Rafibd01717> Do I really need to update key?
[16:28] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: Go ahead and delete that key
[16:28] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: `sudo apt-key del<PHONE_NUMBER>`
[16:29] <Rafibd01717> done
[16:29] <Rafibd01717> now should I run another update?
[16:29] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: Then you need to remove the PPA associated with that key.
[16:29] <Rafibd01717> ehh
[16:29] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: Here, follow the rest of the commands here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/650032/gpg-errorthe-following-signatures-were-invalid-keyexpired
[16:30] <Rafibd01717> lots of work
[16:30] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: `sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/samrog131*` `sudo apt-get clean` `sudo apt-get update`
[16:30] <agent_white> Done :)
[16:31] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: Next time you follow a tutorial, don't just copy-paste commands, but try to understand what exactly is happening... though better idea is to learn how to use the terminal first.
[16:31] <Rafibd01717> sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/samrog131* You can not remove this file. no file like this
[16:31] <agent_white> Rafibd01717: Try update
[16:32] <Rafibd01717> ok
[16:32] <agent_white> Or clean first.
[16:32] <agent_white> apt-get clean, then apt-get update.
[16:33] <SchrodingersScat> !info mongodb trusty | why did you need another repo for this anyway?
[16:37] <agent_white> ^ That's the real question, haha.
[16:38] <lotuspsychje> he installed it from git manually, we been over this yesterday
[16:39] <agent_white> Oh lord.
[16:39] <deskwizard> Good morning, I'm having an issue with 14.04.3 and CP2101 usb-serial converter
[16:39] <deskwizard> the /dev doesn't show up, doesn't show it as created in dmesg
[16:39] <deskwizard> device is detected by lsusb and dmsg
[16:40] <deskwizard> any ideas on what might be going on ?
[16:40] <deskwizard> FTDI FT232R are working properly
[16:40] <deskwizard> havent tested PL2303
[16:40] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: can you tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugin the device?
[16:40] <xar-> pet peeve, using [enter] as punctuation ><
[16:41] <deskwizard> lotuspsychje, http://pastebin.com/GeQUz6Jm
[16:42] <deskwizard> lotuspsychje, last 2 lines normal?
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: no its an error, looking it up
[16:43] <deskwizard> let me see if I get it with the FTDI
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: might try these: http://askubuntu.com/questions/505932/ubuntu-14-04-mtp-error
[16:44] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: tried different usb ports?
[16:44] <deskwizard> lotuspsychje, get the same error when plugging FTDI but this one works
[16:44] <deskwizard> lotuspsychje, FTDI: http://pastebin.com/QMKzSUqA
[16:45] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: detects the device: ftdi_sio 3-1:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
[16:45] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: but still that mtp error
[16:45] <deskwizard> Yes, but it also makes the /dev/ttyUSB device which CP2101 does not
[16:45] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: installed that mtp tool?
[16:46] <deskwizard> lotuspsychje, doing it now
[16:46] <deskwizard> which makes me think, I often have issues with SD cards and flash drives...
[16:46] <deskwizard> I bet thats related
[16:47] <deskwizard> lotuspsychje, what you linked is for making mtp work
[16:48] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: well as we have mtp error, might try to install
[16:48] <deskwizard> lotuspsychje, why not, im fully backed up anyway
[16:49] <deskwizard> lotuspsychje, no change
[16:49] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: you might put a realtime tail -f /var/log/dmesg too while you fool around
[16:49] <deskwizard> ... lol one sec...
[16:50] <deskwizard> little case of dislexia this morning hehe
[16:50] <lotuspsychje> deskwizard: your first paste syslog, the device has the mtp error in the middle, second paste at the end
[16:50] <frite> how do i check if i have usb 3 support?
[16:50] <lotuspsychje> frite: lsusb
[16:50] <deskwizard> frite, is one of the port blue? :P

[16:51] <frite> ok, i dont, but if the usb bluetooth device is backwards compatible with 2.0 it will work anyway+
[16:51] <deskwizard> lotuspsychje, 14.04.3
