[00:03] <gp5st> is it possible to install nagios3 without install apache in 14.04?
[00:06] <linos> how can I delete file in another directory if I'm lets say in a base directory
[00:07] <k1l> linos: rm works with path. like: rm /path/to/file
[00:07] <gp5st> linos: rm accepts absolute pats (as well as the relative one's you're used to)
 what about if there are multiple files?
[00:07] <gp5st> linos: spaces!
[00:08] <gp5st> you can put a space between each file (or directory) you'd like to remove
[00:08] <imthenachoman> does ubuntu have any help files on how to create startup scripts?
[00:08] <gp5st> imthenachoman: what type of init script?
[00:09] <gp5st> the newest ubuntu uses systemd, so you'd want to look for how to write service files for systemd
[00:09] <linos> gp5st: what about removing multiple files?
[00:09] <gp5st> older versions used upstart
[00:09] <imthenachoman> gp5st: thanks. i'll check systemd
[00:09] <k1l> linos: if they are named similar you can use wildcards or regexp.
[00:09] <imthenachoman> gp5st: i just need to write this script to be ubuntu friendly : http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=79262
[00:09] <gp5st> and all versions still support sysvinit scripts, but are not recommended
[00:09] <gp5st> linos: spaces between them, like I said
[00:10] <gp5st> rm /path/to/file1 /second/path/file2
[00:10] <gp5st> you can use globs like you're probably used to rm /path/to/*.files
[00:10] <gp5st> but be _very_ careful to make sure there aren't spurious spaces:)
[00:11] <linos> gp5st: example rm -rf /some/path/dir/WhatDoIputHereToDeleteAllFiles
[00:12] <k1l> linos: all files?
[00:12] <gp5st> linos: * will match all files, so /path/to/* will expand to all the files in /path/to/
[00:12] <linos> gp5st: that is what I've been trying, but the files are not being deleted
[00:12] <gp5st> (so the rm command will actually see all the files in /path/to/ separated by spaced and with absolute paths)
[00:13] <gp5st> linos: are any errors being given
[00:13] <linos> nope
[00:13] <k1l> linos: what files and folder are we talking about?
[00:13] <linos> gp5st: it works when I'm local
[00:13] <gp5st> ls -la /path/to/ shows files after running rm -rf /path/to/*?
[00:14] <gp5st> do you have write permission on /path/to?
[00:14] <linos> a directory that I created with files in it.
[00:14] <gp5st> try the -v switch for rm
[00:17] <utu8o> is there are good linux app that fully utilizes a tablet with pen?
[00:17] <R1l3y> hi
[00:18] <maddawg4> ppl still have tablets with pens ?
[00:18] <maddawg4> lol
[00:19] <maddawg4> did you lose your fingers?
[00:21] <imthenachoman> gp5st: if i am using 14.04 lts i should use init scripts?
[00:21] <Ooboontoo> I forgot the password to sign into my main account, so I have to use the guest account. How do I retrieve my password?
[00:22] <OerHeks> !password
[00:23] <linos> gp5st: nothing happens
[00:23] <linos> gp5st: how can that be
[00:25] <linos> gp5st: the command can only be performed as root
[00:25] <linos> gp5st just figured it out
[00:26] <k1l> linos: in that case it should give an error that the file doesnt exist.
[00:26] <k1l> or it cant remove. due to file permissions
[00:32] <gp5st> linos: what was it?
[00:33] <Hudsonkem> I installed synfig studio from .deb, but its denied, I have been try change permition of synfig, but it doesnt, any ideas?
[00:34] <I-Needs_Help> hello, may I have help with my computer's partitions?
[00:34] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: what error do you get? and what command are you running?
[00:34] <linos> gp5st: I had to run sudo rm -r Path/to/dir/*
[00:35] <gp5st> linos: that's a relative path
[00:35] <gp5st> I-Needs_Help: don't ask to ask.
[00:35] <DChapman> I-Needs_Help: What's your question about partitions?
[00:35] <Hudsonkem> hudsonkem@Maki-chan:/usr/bin$ synfig
[00:35] <Hudsonkem> bash: /usr/bin/synfig: Permission denied
[00:35] <I-Needs_Help> i have some unallocated space and would like to use it
[00:36] <linos> gp5st: ok, how does that effect deleting files?
[00:36] <I-Needs_Help> there is little space left and i need all i can get
[00:36] <maddawg3> then use it I-Needs_Help
[00:36] <I-Needs_Help> use what?
[00:36] <maddawg3> the unallocated space
[00:36] <maddawg3> allocate it and use it
[00:36] <I-Needs_Help> how?
[00:36] <DChapman> Again, what's your question?
[00:36] <Hudsonkem> i tried change file permition -rwx-------- to -054 but it doesnt work
[00:37] <maddawg3> well you can either create it as a partition or if it's part of an existing disk you can increase the size
[00:37] <maddawg3> i.e. unallocated partition
[00:37] <gp5st> linos: it's not so much deleting it /path/to/file means the path from /, the root of the file system. path/to/file means, starting in the current directory, go to the dir `path` then `to` and there is `file`
[00:37] <I-Needs_Help> i would loke to increase the space of already existing (root) partition
[00:37] <maddawg3> if it's an unallocated partition then use GParted to extend it
[00:37] <DChapman> Note that changing the size of partitions can have unwanted side effects, such as losing data.
[00:37] <I-Needs_Help> ok i have gparted on my system
[00:37] <gp5st> linos: we thought you meant something else than you did when you originally ask
[00:37] <maddawg3> I-Needs_Help, then boot from a ubuntu live cd and open gparted
[00:37] <maddawg3> you cant do it from the running partition
[00:37] <I-Needs_Help> its already installed
[00:37] <maddawg3> you have to do it from a live cd
[00:38] <I-Needs_Help> ohhh
[00:38] <maddawg3> yes you cant do it while the system is running
[00:38] <DChapman> You can't resize a partition while it is mounted...
[00:38] <I-Needs_Help> ok
[00:38] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: for some reason it doesn't have the x perm set
[00:38] <linos> gp5st: ah ha.  Ok, I get it now
[00:38] <maddawg3> so boot a ubuntu disk and open gparted
[00:38] <maddawg3> it should be on the live cd as well
[00:38] <I-Needs_Help> yes i get it
[00:38] <maddawg3> then you can extend it
[00:38] <maddawg3> the GUI should make sense
[00:38] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: 700 means only the owner can execute the file. who is the owner
[00:39] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: also, that error can also happen if you have the wrong binary for your architecture
[00:39] <I-Needs_Help> but i do not have 1 will the .img file burn to a cd not a dvd because system only have cd drive (lol its kind of old)
[00:39] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: eg if you have an x64 bin on an x32 system
[00:39] <linos> gp5st:  could you send me that last description.  I cleared by window by accident
[00:40] <gp5st> linos: it's not so much deleting it /path/to/file means the path from /, the root of the file system. path/to/file means, starting in the current directory, go to the dir `path` then `to` and there is `file`
[00:40] <gp5st> that?
[00:40] <linos> gp5st: thank you very much
[00:40] <gp5st> I-Needs_Help: as long as the .img is small enough to fit on a CD it'll work
[00:40] <I-Needs_Help> ok ill try it
[00:41] <Hudsonkem> well, its says root is the owner
[00:41] <gp5st> linos: absolute vs relative paths are common in almost all software , not just rm too
[00:41] <Hudsonkem> i tried set +x executive to but doesnt work
[00:42] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: doesn't work is the most useless phrase in the english language. What did you do? What was the error?
[00:42] <Hudsonkem> have any problem get my user to it?
[00:42] <Hudsonkem> gp5st, i tried change permission but, for some reason nothing change
[00:42] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: still not helpful.
[00:43] <gp5st> it's owned by root, you need to be root or using sudo in order to edit the permissions on it
[00:43] <linos> gp5st:  now I stumble across another problem,  I'm trying to run a an executable using the mono command, so for example I would simply type 'mono nameofexecutable.exe'.  How can I run this from another directory, say path/to/dir/mono nameofexecutable.exe??
[00:43] <Hudsonkem> gp5st yes, but doesnt work kk
[00:44] <Hudsonkem> ofcourse i used sudo, im admin of system, but no file permission changes after tried it,
[00:44] <I-Needs_Help> the image is 3.7 gb and it will obviosly NOT fit on a cd, any other options?
[00:44] <gp5st> linos: same deal. don't start with a path if the file is beneath your current directory. / means that ti's the path from the top of the filesystem
[00:45] <Hudsonkem> "sudo chmod -054 synfig"
[00:45] <gp5st> I-Needs_Help: damnsmalllinux or knoppix?
[00:45] <I-Needs_Help> i have no idea. computer is running Ubuntu MATE 14.04
[00:45] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: why are you using -054?
[00:46] <gp5st> I-Needs_Help: no, I'm telling you I know those still fit on a CD and DSL is pretty small if you have a slow connection. You could use those as a boot disk and then go into their gparted
[00:47] <Hudsonkem> set own execute, and try set read and exe to members
[00:47] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: if it's 700, -054 won't change anything
[00:47] <I-Needs_Help> i have cox gigablast so internet is very fast. are you telling me to preform an internet startup?
[00:47] <Hudsonkem> so, i must get root user to change it?
[00:47] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: the - means to subtract those permissions
[00:48] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: if it's owned by root, you'd need to be root to change the permissions
[00:48] <Obituaryy> hi
[00:48] <linos> gp5st: I tried that, but I receive an error mono  not found.  it almost seems like it chops off the nameofexecutable.exe
[00:48] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: man chmod for more info. try chmod a+rx
[00:48] <linos> gp5st: I'm trying to build a shell script
[00:48] <Hudsonkem> oh ok, i thought sudo was enough, but why it become root file, if i just installed it?
[00:48] <gp5st> linos: can you paste the command and error?
[00:49] <gp5st> linos: does the path have a space in it?
[00:49] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: how did you install it? with sudo dpkg?
[00:49] <linos> gp5st: the path does not, but when I have to run the mono command there is a space between mono and the nameofexecutable.exe file
[00:49] <Hudsonkem> nope, used center of software
[00:49] <keviv> Any reasons host-side that a usb device won't show up under lsusb?
[00:50] <gp5st> Also, you shouldn't have to be playing with the permissions. Like I said -054 means remove read and execute from group and read from other
[00:50] <gp5st> linos: yeah
[00:50] <linos> for example 'mono nameofexecutable.exe'
[00:50] <gp5st> linos: that only works if the exe is in the same directory
[00:50] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: did it make you enter your password?
[00:51] <gp5st> keviv: is the device on? does the device work on other computers (or on this computer)?
[00:51] <linos> gp5st: if I'm at the parent directory and type 'mono nameofexecutable.exe', it works fine
[00:52] <keviv> gp5st: yeah it's definitely on, it shows as charging. I'll try it on another computer now
[00:52] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: regardless I would "sudo chmod 555 /path/to/program" to set r and x for all users
[00:52] <gp5st> keviv: some phones will charge even if they're not "on"
[00:52] <Hudsonkem> ok let me try it
[00:54] <itai> hello
[00:54] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: also try "file /path/to/executable" to make sure it's a compatible executable format
[00:56] <Hudsonkem> ok i must relogg to see some effects on whisker menu
[00:56] <itai> im new to linux and was wondering why after installing and extracting something, i cant open it
[00:56] <gp5st> itai: open how?
[00:57] <keviv> gp5st: oh yeah, but I meant it was definitely on, and also showing as charging
[00:57] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: can you excute it from the command line?
[00:57] <keviv> gp5st: I think it might be as stupid as the cable I was using might be charge-only
[00:57] <itai> like i downloaded utorrent and extracted and for some reason i cant run it
[00:57] <itai> is what i meant
[00:58] <gp5st> itai: how have you tried to run it? did you download it from their website or via apt-get/the software center?
[00:58] <keviv> gp5st: yup, tried a different cable, and now it works haha
[00:58] <shleezy> is there an easy way of fixing my mbr? i have win7 on another drive but it doesn't pick it up on the boot menu
[00:58] <itai> their website
[00:59] <gp5st> how have you tried to run it?
[00:59] <wileee> shleezy, You've run sudo update-grub ?
[01:00] <itai> gp5s: idk now that im looking back at it theres nothing to run haha. i was double clicking the UTserver
[01:02] <shleezy> wileee: haven't tried that, will try.
[01:03] <wileee> grub looks for other OS's with the os=prober with an update
[01:03] <wileee> os-prober* doh
[01:04] <gp5st> itai: can you open a terminal and go to the directory the executable is in?
[01:08] <itai> ok i think im there
[01:12] <gp5st> itai: please don't pm
[01:12] <AdolfH> hallo
[01:12] <gp5st> itai: ok, if you ls -la do you see the executable?
[01:12] <AdolfH> nein
[01:13] <lulz> yo AdolfH
[01:13] <Hudsonkem> ok i reinstalled and change again the permissions and work
[01:13] <Hudsonkem> thx gp5st
[01:13] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: the software equiv of turning it off and back on :)
[01:13] <gp5st> Hudsonkem: glad it works
[01:14] <linos> ok, I'm not having much luck.  But maybe someone can set me correct.  I have a an exe file in a directory in linux and would like to run it from another directory.  Is this possible?
[01:14] <Hudsonkem> :) i think its kinda bug :V
[01:15] <gp5st> linos: yes, but you need to know where it is! Where is the executable?
[01:15] <axk4545> try which <program name here>
[01:16] <psusi> linos, do you mean a windows .exe file, or a linux binary?  if it's a linux binary, you just specify the full or relative path if the directory it is in isn't already on your PATH
[01:16] <linos> gp5st: I do know where it is, but I keep getting the following error message... No such file or directory
[01:16] <linos> psusi: I'm running mono
[01:16] <axk4545> what command?
[01:16] <linos> psusi: Ubuntu
[01:16] <gp5st> linos: so, you know the name? is this something you compiled? did you download and unpack it? why do you think it exists?
[01:17] <gp5st> if you think it's in the current directory, try "find . -name NAMEOFTHEEXE"
[01:17] <AdolfH> lulz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKrLrhtZrLU
[01:17] <linos> gp5st: I created the file myself.  its 'Foo.exe'
[01:17] <gp5st> itai: so when you open your terminal it'll dump you in your home directory. If you downloaded it into Downloads, cd Downloads
[01:18] <psusi> linos, and what command did you use?
[01:18] <linos> psusi: mono Foo.exe
[01:18] <psusi> I *think* that as long as you have mono installed and the exe is set to execute permission, you can just run it like any other binary, but I'm not sure
[01:18] <gp5st> psusi: you don't need the exe perm
[01:18] <Hudsonkem> linos try, >>whereis <name of program>
[01:19] <gp5st> linos: how did you create it?
[01:19] <axk4545> AdolfHitlr, speaking of installing Ubuntu, I saw something on efnet that ubuntu is an old african word meaning i don't know how to configure debian.
[01:19] <itai> gp5st: Im in the directory. but there is no executable inthere.
[01:19] <linos> psusi: this command works fine when I run it from the directory it resides under.  So for example when I cd the directory and run mono Foo.exe is works fine
[01:20] <AdolfHitlr> i thought it was an old african word meaning i'm too stupid to know how to use arch
[01:20] <linos> Hudsonkem: it says Foo:
[01:20] <gp5st> itai: what is in it? which dir are you in?
[01:20] <axk4545> Similar idea. AdolfHitlr, I personally use Fedora.
[01:20] <AdolfHitlr> i personally use windows
[01:20] <linos> gp5st: I built it with monodevelop
[01:20] <gp5st> linos: ok, so you do know where the executable is?
[01:21] <linos> gp5st: yes
[01:21] <gp5st> ok, where is it?
[01:21] <apollonovich> I'm trying to set up machines to fetch ssh public keys from ldap, but the ssh-ldap package I see in all the posts about it appears no longer to exist?  Am I missing something obvious?
[01:21] <linos> it is located under Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe
[01:22] <gp5st> linos: wich dir is the Foo folder in?
[01:23] <gp5st> linos: when you're in a folder, you can run pwd to show the absolute path of the current directory, just fyi
[01:23] <linos> gp5st: under linos.  so for example my ubuntu dir is home/linos/Foo/bin/Debug
[01:24] <gp5st> do you mean /home/linos as the home dir (note the leading /!)
[01:24] <linos> gp5st: yes
[01:24] <gp5st> ok, so if you "cd $HOME" (or "cd" or "cd ~")
[01:25] <gp5st> and you "ls -l Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe" what happens?
[01:27] <linos> gp5st: it prints our the -rwxrwxr-x and the file dir/path/Foo.exe
[01:27] <linos> gp5st its there
[01:27] <gp5st> itai: what do you sww when you ls -la in the dir you think the executable should be in?
[01:28] <gp5st> and if you replace ls -l with mono?
[01:28] <linos> gp5st: you are a piece of work.  Beautiful!
[01:29] <linos> gp5st: IT WORKS! YaY
[01:29] <Hudsonkem> congrats
[01:29] <linos> gp5st:  thank you very much
[01:29] <gp5st> linos: to hammer home the point, try it with /home/linos/Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe
[01:30] <lying_cake> apt-get wants me to run autoremove to remove 151 packages. Am I right in assuming that is in error?
[01:30] <gp5st> (or whatever your home dir is) that will run regardless of the dir you're in, but the one that doesn't start with a / will only work in your home dir
[01:30] <gp5st> try both in your home dir
[01:30] <gp5st> and then "cd Documents" or w/e and then try both
[01:31] <theskepticalparr> I don't understand this...
[01:31] <theskepticalparr> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[01:31] <theskepticalparr> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:31] <theskepticalparr> What does that mean?
[01:32] <k1l> theskepticalparr: you can only open one program that uses the package manager
[01:32] <thewingman> But I never had that issue before.
[01:32] <k1l> like close the software center when you run apt-get in terminal.  and when you apt-get in terminal use sudo
[01:33] <thewingman> Ooooooohhhhhhh...
[01:33] <thewingman> Software Updater is running.
[01:33] <thewingman> Is that why?
[01:33] <gp5st> is lsof installed by default? you could lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock to see the other process
[01:33] <gp5st> oh, nvm
[01:33] <k1l> thewingman: yes
[01:33] <linos> gp5st: it says no such file or directory.  should I put mono in front of it all?
[01:33] <thewingman> Got it.
[01:33] <thewingman> Then now I know why I never had the issue before.
[01:33] <lying_cake> apt-get is pushing me to remove a ton of packages with auto-remove (over 150). Am I right in assuming that is an error?
[01:34] <gp5st> linos: all of what? specifics are important "mono /home/linos/Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe" will work regardless of the dir you're in. "mono Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe" will only work in your homedir
[01:34] <Hudsonkem> lying_cake, did u see what r tobe removed?
[01:35] <lying_cake> lots of stuff. I'm not really sure what's significant and what isn't. Some stuff pertaining to wine, libmono, etc..
[01:35] <lying_cake> I can drop it into pastebin if anyone is willing to look at it
[01:36] <Hudsonkem> lying_cake yeap
[01:36] <linos> gp5st:  yes that is what I'm seeing on my side
[01:37] <Hudsonkem> lying_cake, the warnings of autoremove, just says when u got unlinked packages, but let see it :)
[01:37] <lying_cake> http://pastebin.com/Aq7DyxMc Here goes...
[01:38] <gp5st> linos: ok, hope that helps understand absolute vs relative paths
[01:39] <linos> gp5st: thank you
[01:40] <Hudsonkem> lying_cake have u been removed wine?
[01:40] <lying_cake> hudsonkem: not recently. But i don't need it anymore. Are those all dependencies of wine?
[01:41] <Hudsonkem> lying_cake alot of these yes, u use x64 system?
[01:41] <lying_cake> hudsonkem: Yup.
[01:42] <Hudsonkem> so its okay
[01:42] <Hudsonkem> lying_cake take a copy of it to text file, just in case of disaster lol :P
[01:43] <linos> gp5st: I have a crazy question for you.  Is it possible for a script to open a new shell and execute a command in there?
[01:43] <Hudsonkem> lying_cake but I think its ok to execute "sudo apt-get autoremove" command
[01:43] <gp5st> linos: what do you mean "a new shell" and why do you want to do that
[01:43] <gp5st> linos: tech `` and $() open subprocesses
[01:43] <linos> gp5st: a terminal window
[01:44] <Hudsonkem> linos, yes
[01:44] <gp5st> linos: yeah, you can. what problem are you trying to solve?
[01:45] <linos> well, I have two exe that I'm trying to run and they cannot be running in the same instance of a terminal window.  I will need two, but I would like to do it with one script
[01:45] <tomek_> hi anyone can help?
[01:45] <gp5st> tomek_: don't ask to ask!
[01:45] <gp5st> linos: can you use & to send one command into the background?
[01:46] <lying_cake> hudsonkem: ran auto-remove. Computer is still functioning. Thanks :)
[01:46] <gp5st> (otherwise you start to be dependent on the terminal emulator or simply that someone has X (e.g. doing what you want won't work on an ssh connection unless you plan ahead)
[01:46] <linos> gp5st: I need to interact with both windows
[01:46] <Hudsonkem> lyink_cake lol, congrats
[01:48] <linos> gp5st: if there is a way I can open a new terminal window from the script and run a command that points to that terminal window, then I'm set
[01:48] <gp5st> linos: you could have a new window open. I would suggest you make 2 shell scripts or have your script run one command or the other based on an argument passed to it
[01:48] <gp5st> linos: you'd have to call out to the terminal emulator as a command and run it in the background
[01:48] <gp5st> which ties you to the emulator
[01:49] <linos> gp5st: how would I go about doing that?
[01:49] <gp5st> xterm is fairly common, but not pretty:p
[01:49] <psusi> linos, if you are in another directory then you need to specify the path to the one where the file actually is
[01:49] <gp5st> linos: try this "xterm xev"
[01:50] <imthenachoman> hey guys. i have a 2nd HD on my machine that is mounted at /this/that. the group of /this/that is plugdev and has 775. user1 is in plugdev and created folder /this/that/blah. now i want user2 to be able to create a file in /this/that/blah but i am getting permission denied
[01:50] <imthenachoman> the folder /this/that has thousands of files/folders so changing the permissions on all of them seems a bit rought
[01:51] <imthenachoman> its a samba share also. i'd love to make it so any files created on it, by anyone, are set such that anyone can read/write and if applicable execute
[01:51] <psusi> imthenachoman, chmod -R will recursively change permissions on all files and subdirectories of a given point
[01:51] <gp5st> imthenachoman: "ls -dl /this/that/blah"
[01:51] <imthenachoman> gp5st: what about that?
[01:52] <Hudsonkem> imthenachoman, "sudo chown <user tobe owner> <directory way>"
[01:52] <tomek_> hello
[01:53] <tomek_> how to move buttons maximize minimize close from left to right?
[01:53] <Hudsonkem> imthenachoman, for example, "sudo chown imthenachoman /this/that"
[01:53] <imthenachoman> Hudsonkem: there are 10+ users. i basically want them to be able to read/write/execute any/all files in /this/that no matter who owns/creates them
[01:53] <Hudsonkem> tomek, what dist r u usin?
[01:54] <bewbz> Hello, does any one have experience with setting up eclipse and the various android packages?
[01:54] <tomek_> ubuntu 14041
[01:54] <Hudsonkem> imthenachoman, just turn it free, "sudo chmod 777 /this/that"
[01:55] <tomek_> Hudsonnkem can u help me?
[01:55] <imthenachoman> Hudsonkem: but that will only do for /this/that, what about all files in sub dir?
[01:55] <Hudsonkem> tomek_ yes
[01:55] <tomek_> how to move this buttons
[01:55] <Hudsonkem> imthenachoman, u can make a group and set it to ur users
[01:56] <kpcyrd> hello. is there a channel for security updates?
[01:56] <imthenachoman> so set group of /this/that to    blah and then add all users to blah?
[01:56] <imthenachoman> Hudsonkem: cause right now /this/that is owned by plugdev and all users are in plugdev
[01:56] <imthenachoman> Hudsonkem: but they can only create/edit their own files
[01:56] <Hudsonkem> imthenachoman, np, set it to ur group and put user in the same group
[01:58] <Hudsonkem> imthenachoman as i said, just make it free, or put owner. and give permission free to other
[01:59] <imthenachoman> Hudsonkem: that will only work for the existing files, right? what will happen if user2 creates a new file?
[01:59] <Milijus> Anybody here running nginx on Ubuntu need some help
[02:00] <Hudsonkem> imthenachoman, np, u set ur partition as free, and everything there we be free too
[02:00] <kpcyrd> the version of opensmtpd currently packaged in ubuntu has exploitable security issues
[02:00] <kpcyrd> CVE request: https://marc.info/?l=oss-security&m=144405728407617&w=2
[02:00] <imthenachoman> Hudsonkem: but that won't work for new files a user creates. i've tried that
[02:00] <kpcyrd> https://www.qualys.com/2015/10/02/opensmtpd-audit-report.txt
[02:01] <Hudsonkem> imthenachoman, u wont set folder free, u must make the partition mount path free

[02:18] <fathom> Howdy, I have a fresh install of ubuntu, but the screen keeps going blank when i am supposed to log in
[02:18] <neoncontrails> I'm having trouble consolidating what I'm trying to do into a google query, but there must be a simple answer to it...
[02:19] <neoncontrails> Can I use a local application to open a file on a server I'm ssh'ed into? How?
[02:20] <k1l> neoncontrails: do you mean x forward (ssh -X) or mean like using samba for the file or such?
[02:20] <TJ-> !info sshfs | neoncontrails SSH File-system can do so (not via an existing interactive SSH session though)
[02:20] <k1l> fathom: is the right driver installed?
[02:20] <neoncontrails> kil: Forgive me. I'm too inexperienced with Unix to understand your question :)
[02:21] <k1l> neoncontrails: with ssh -X you can start a program on a server but the window comes up on your local system.  but it sounds more like you want sshfs
[02:21] <fathom> AMD
[02:21] <fathom> FGLRX
[02:22] <fathom> I have an AMD APU plus a 240 r7 graphics card
[02:22] <k1l> fathom: did you install the fglrx from the ubuntu repo?
[02:22] <fathom> Software and Updates
[02:23] <fathom> Whatever was there
[02:23] <fathom> Under additional drivers
[02:24] <neoncontrails> kil: possibly, yes. If I'm not mistaken, there's a dependency issue with ssh -X on macs I believe? Requires X11-compatible software I think?
[02:24] <neoncontrails> I could be completely wrong.
[02:24] <Hudsonkem> neoncontrails, unix is another one, here we use linux xD
[02:25] <neoncontrails> Hudsonkem: Gotcha. Heh, just out of curiosity is there a general unix community on IRC?
[02:25] <neoncontrails> I noticed #unix is dead
[02:26] <Hudsonkem> neoncontrails, sorry dont know :/
[02:29] <TJ-> neoncontrails: sshfs will do what you want; it allows you to mount a remote log-in directory heirachy on a local mount point
[02:29] <k1l> fathom: make sure the .Xauthority is not owned by root in your home
[02:30] <k1l> fathom: then look up if that card needs some special handling like nomodeset or such
[02:32] <neoncontrails> TJ-: thanks, I'll try to find a tutorial on this. Might be back with questions later :)
[02:33] <TJ-> neoncontrails: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS
[02:39] <Metatheon> hello?
[02:39] <mssbrg> Why don't people regular `apt` versus `apt-get` or `apt-cache`?
[02:39] <mssbrg> *use regular
[02:40] <Metatheon> dunno
[02:40] <k1l> mssbrg: because its too new.
[02:40] <TJ-> mssbrg: tradition, habit
[02:41] <mssbrg> Interesting. I myself have been using ubuntu for a few years and it just hadn't occured to me, I was definitely intrenched in habit of apt-get/apt-cache
[02:41] <Metatheon> how do i modify an ssid code for my own use?
[02:41] <mssbrg> but it seems apt is pretty good *shrug*
[02:41] <Metatheon> anyone?
[02:41] <phoskins> So I'm running a crouton chroot of ubuntu on a chromebook, and I accidentally used up all my disk space by installing texlive 2015. Oops. Is there a way I can delete it from the chrome console?
[02:41] <OerHeks> Metatheon, change it in your wifi router
[02:42] <Metatheon> is that in the network app?
[02:42] <TJ-> mssbrg: One reason is the output format of apt-{get,cache,file} are designed for scripts and therefore predictable, whereas apt is liable to change
[02:42] <k1l> mssbrg: apt got stable just one year ago, iirc. so before it was adviced to use apt-get. and since that still works and the old howtos are all out there that change takes some time
[02:43] <OerHeks> Metatheon, no, change the ssid in your wifi router first, then your client
[02:43] <Metatheon> oh gotcha, Not too possible, i cant connect to my university wifi
[02:44] <Metatheon> i looked it up and other people had the same problem
[02:44] <Metatheon> they said to run these-
[02:44] <Metatheon> cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections sudo touch SSID #SSID is the name of the profile, e.g. eduroam sudo nano SSID
[02:44] <Metatheon> and modify my ssid there
[02:45] <TJ-> Metatheon: that doesn't sound quite correct. "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/" is the directory where all the system-wide network connections are stored, in text files, one per connection
[02:45] <linos> what is the simplest way to run a execute a command that contains parameters within a script
[02:45] <mssbrg> k1l: is apt officially recommended then?
[02:46] <TJ-> Metatheon: But, the GUI provides a connection editor where the SSID/BSSID can be edited
[02:46] <k1l> mssbrg: standard tool for cli is still apt-get.
[02:47] <Metatheon> TJ, where is it?
[02:48] <mssbrg> k1l: hm, despite apt's 'stability'? not arguing, just seems odd.
[02:48] <TJ-> Metatheon: It should be accessed via the task-bar network icon. On Gnome-based systems the program is 'nmapplet'
[02:48] <Metatheon> TJ: thanks ill look at it
[02:48] <k1l> mssbrg: then propose it to replace apt-get :)
[02:50] <mssbrg> k1l: i think i'll just start using and enjoying it instead, seems easier :)
[02:50] <TJ-> mssbrg: 'apt' cannot do several popular tasks the other tools can
[02:54] <linos> Hello, how can I run a command within a script that has parameters?
[02:56] <TJ-> linos: your question is unclear. Do you mean: Within a shell script, how to run a command that takes parameters? If so simply: "[/path/to/]command param1 "param 2 with spaces" param3 "
[02:56] <linos> TJ-:the contrary
[02:57] <linos> I have a command inside the script that I'm running and it call an exe that take parameters
[02:57] <mssbrg> TJ-: i should have expected :) any examples?
[02:57] <TJ-> mssbrg: 'purge' --no-install-recommends
[02:58] <linos> TJ-: for example mono Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe -a bob -d 1000.00
[02:58] <linos> TJ-: tje parameters after Foo.exe are required
[02:58] <TJ-> linos: The commands in a script are written identically to how you'd write them on the shell command-line
[02:59] <mssbrg> TJ-: i'm actualy not familiar with purge, what man page should I read?
[02:59] <linos> TJ: I'm having he same problem when I try to run it manually inside a terminal window
[02:59] <TJ-> mssbrg: "man apt-get" (it purges package configuration files (e.g. from /etc/)
[02:59] <TJ-> linos: what is the exact error message you get?
[03:00] <linos> TJ-: the program runs, but without the args
[03:00] <mssbrg> linos: time to pastebin your script :)
[03:00] <netman87> hello. im looking for choise of text editor. so can someone help me little?
[03:01] <mssbrg> netman87: if you aren't sure, sublime text is very popular
[03:01] <TJ-> linos: That sounds like an issue with the program you're running. Are you sure it takes the arguments prefixed by a hyphen? If the program is originally from Windows it might take the '/' as the argument prefix.
[03:01] <linos> mssbrg: this is what I'm typing... mono Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe -a bob -d 1000.00
[03:01] <netman87> so X = graphical, no vi/vim, minimal or configurable layout (menu,buttons... i dont want them to be on way, line numbers, coloring php,perl,python,c,c++ and so on... main purpose will be programming
[03:01] <linos> TJ-: 100% sure
[03:02] <TJ-> linos: Best to check with the mono executable then; it probably isn't passing them to the sub-process
[03:02] <linos> TJ-: when I run the command from the Debug directory, it run perfectly.
[03:02] <netman87> used to use gedit on linux and notepad++ on windows
[03:02] <netman87> mssbrg, its not free :/ and it doesnt feel really too nice... maybe but atleast not before next month as im having money problems atm
[03:03] <genii> linos: That would seem to indicate that Foo.exe is doing something in the Current Working Directory
[03:03] <genii> ( like, calling a .dll or such )
[03:04] <linos> I just need to know how to correctly format the 'mono Foo/bin/Debug/Foo.exe -a bob -d 1000.00' command
[03:04] <linos> for example, would I need quotes or something else?
[03:04] <k1l> linos: we said all we could say with that unspecific info
[03:05] <netman87> anyone? text editor?
[03:05] <somsip> netman87: try #ubuntu-offtopic as this is not the channel to ask for recommendations
[03:05] <linos> ok thank you
[03:06] <netman87> somsip, thank you.

[03:46] <cfhowlett> ramzey, ask your ubuntu question
[03:50] <ramzey> my question is
[03:50] <ramzey> why am i so 1337?
[03:50] <reisio> some people are born that way
[03:50] <lotuspsychje> lol
[03:50] <ramzey> that makes sense
[03:57] <qwebirc74229> easy to remember
[03:58] <lotuspsychje> qwebirc74229: can we help you?
[03:59] <qwebirc74229> How does this work? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12694757/
[04:00] <lotuspsychje> qwebirc74229: you trying to download ubuntu from torrent?
[04:00] <cfhowlett> qwebirc74229, it's a torrent link.  add it to your torrent client and it will download.
[04:01] <qwebirc74229> cfhowlett: Where can a magnet link be added to transmission?
[04:02] <cfhowlett> click on the link.  transmission should open
[04:02] <qwebirc74229> So it isn't going to work unless the torrent has a tracker already?
[04:02] <qwebirc74229> I was trying to figure out how to start using transmission locally for peer to peer transferrs without downloading a tracker.
[04:02] <cfhowlett> qwebirc74229, ubuntu magnet torrents have trackers.
[04:03] <qwebirc74229> cfhowlett: How is that set up I've created a torrent then shared the magnet locally over empathy and recall it not working.
[04:03] <qwebirc74229> It isnt much of a peer to peer when everything requires a central bank.
[04:04] <cfhowlett> qwebirc74229, I can't speak to your specific case.  the magnet links have never failed me but I have not attempted to share them.
[04:04] <lotuspsychje> !torrent | qwebirc74229
[04:06] <cfhowlett> qwebirc74229, I just copy pasted that link into FF.  Transmission popped up as expected.
[04:06] <reisio> it isn't much of a file sharing protocol without a central bank, though
[04:06] <qwebirc74229> MBP completely blew out Drone` as far as updates go.
[04:07] <cfhowlett> qwebirc74229, ???????????
[04:08] <qwebirc74229> I installed nvidia proprietary drivers and updated the package lists and nothing works as far as updates go and the desktop is broke.
[04:08] <qwebirc74229> It looks like it has a dependency system that completely blocks everything when nvidia driver is installed.
[04:09] <qwebirc74229> Then I rsynced the /usr/share to another partition and it gives a false disk full error.
[04:09] <NecroSyS> Alguem ja instalou o delphi xe7

[04:15] <RepThis1> Im trying to setup wake over internet and it seems to work on linux but the strange thing is when i multiboot to windows then shutdown and try to wake over internet nothing happens. So my question was in the process of setting up wake over internet do any of the commands i used affect the uefi bios in any way, i remember using something like dracut,grub2-mkconfig.
[04:16] <cfhowlett> RepThis1, nothing you did in ubuntu will effect windows.  Did you explicitly edit the bios?
[04:17] <NecroSyS> Sorry, it is that long ago that do not use irc
[04:17] <RepThis1> cfhowlett: isnt it safe to assume the bios settings are set correctly if i can wake the machineup if it was on linux prior?
[04:17] <qwebirc74229> The plan is to plug it into the cloud.
[04:18] <cfhowlett> RepThis1, one would think so, but I am completely out of my element on that issue.  perhaps #ubuntu-server can advise??
[04:19] <RepThis1> cfhowlett: i mean i would partially agree with you on the bios because there is no option in its firmware revision, odd though that it can still work.
[04:19] <RepThis1> cfhowlett: thx, i will have to check that channel out
[04:19] <cfhowlett> RepThis1, happy2help!
[04:23] <uny> is there any way I can go from ubuntu 15.04 to 14.04 LTS , i don't want to keep udating my system every while  ?
[04:24] <reisio> so don't
[04:25] <delt> Hello
[04:25] <Bashing-om> uny: Release 14.04 is the long term support release - support 'til April 2019 . To switch to 14.04 from 15.04 will require a fresh install of 14.04 .
[04:25] <delt> what packages do i need to compile stuff that uses GtkGLArea ?
[04:25] <uny> <Bashing-om : Oh  No
[04:26] <uny> Bashing-om: a fresh install ?
[04:26] <delt> (gtk3)
[04:27] <delt> just adding #include <gtkgl/gtkglarea.h> to the relevant .c file gives a ton of errors
[04:27] <Bashing-om> uny: Else; ya can upgrade to 15.10 soon, then when the next LTS is release up[grade to 16.04 ( April 2016) .
[04:27] <uny> Bashing-om :isn't there a way to downgrade ?
[04:27] <cfhowlett> uny, no.
[04:27] <genii> !downgrade
[04:28] <smacktalk> im having trouble getting my avermedia tv tuner usb stick to work.  How do i know if the system recognizes it?
[04:28] <uny>  Bashing-om ; does it effect my system if i stopped installing the updates i get ?
[04:29] <smacktalk> anyone know how to make hexchat have a longer scrollback?
[04:29] <Bashing-om> uny: Are you trolling ? You know that is not a wise thing to do .. Aways keep the system updated .
[04:32] <uny> Bashing-om : so i need a fresh install to get long support , and get rid of the annoying updates ?
[04:32] <cfhowlett> even LTS gets updates, uny.
[04:33] <wileee> smacktalk, settings-preferences-logging
[04:33] <uny> cfhowlett : so what is the difference basically then .?
[04:34] <cfhowlett> uny, LONG TERM support.   3 years.  not 9 months.
[04:34] <reisio> one encourages you to not update
[04:34] <reisio> for ages and ages
[04:34] <reisio> like a caveman :)
[04:35] <uny> cfhowlett ; means , it you just have to install updates for  3 years  without upgrade instead of 9 months ?
[04:35] <cfhowlett> correct
[04:35] <reisio> not that you ever _have to_ update
[04:36] <wileee> not that there's anything wrong with that
[04:36] <cfhowlett> you do realize those udpates are for the safety, security and functioning of your OS, right?  So if you don't care about security or functionality, feel free to disregard update advisorys.  WHEN you get breached or broken, do not ask for support.
[04:36] <qwebirc74229> Uptime, heres what I have now: ##networking,##programming,##hardware,##electronics What else can I add to the list for school kids?
[04:37] <reisio> as long as you don't complain about it, not a thing :)
[04:37] <uny> reisio : does the updates get released every week or so ?
[04:37] <reisio> qwebirc74229: school kids?
[04:37] <qwebirc74229> ticed learners
[04:38] <reisio> hope you're going to give them a lesson on what people are like online

[05:00] <delt> quick question: how do i tell which version of GTK3 i have installed?
[05:07] <huscurian> Is there a way to delete any unnecessary cache from the Internet on Ubuntu?
[05:08] <huscurian> And more specifically, is there a program that's akin to defragmenter for Ubuntu?
[05:08] <somsip> !defrag | huscurian
[05:09] <huscurian> somsip | the link provided is dead.  Mods should change that link
[05:10] <somsip> huscurian: you;d need to tell them in #ubuntu-ops unless they respond here
[05:10] <qrtn> huscurian: doesn't matter. you don't need defraggers like in windows
[05:11] <Bashing-om> delt: ' dpkg -l "gtk*" ' will list all .
[05:13] <Apteryx> Hello! Does anyone know how to connect Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 to Ubuntu 14.04.
[05:13] <huscurian> Thanks guys.  Is there a way to refresh the Internet fast enough?
[05:13] <huscurian> I've deleted the cache from time to time but it slows down sometimes
[05:13] <Apteryx> Right now it connects and I can browse files, but I cannot open them (for example pictures), and cannot write also.
[05:15] <huscurian> Apteryx, I have to ask.  Are you the same Opteryx from ArmAholic?
[05:15] <Apteryx> huscurian: nope
[05:15] <huscurian> Was just wondering.
[05:15] <huscurian> Anyway, back on topic
[05:15] <Apteryx> no problem!

[05:19] <yerm> hi
[05:19] <yerm> where do you come from?
[05:20] <somsip> yerm: do you have a support question? This is not a place for chat
[05:20] <jotterbot> hey all, is there a way to clone a boot disk whilst ubuntu is running to another hdd, so that I can then boot off that
[05:20] <yerm> oh... i'm sorry
[05:20] <somsip> !clone | jotterbot
[05:20] <somsip> jotterbot: bad factoid. Look for clonezilla for copying disks
[05:20] <somsip> !info clonezilla | jotterbot
[05:21] <jotterbot> i am aware of something like clonezilla, and "dd", but I wish to be able to leave the system running whilst it clones
[05:21] <somsip> jotterbot: what filesystem is it running?
[05:21] <jotterbot> ext4
[05:21] <delt> Bashing-om: thanks
[05:21] <somsip> jotterbot: I don't believe that supports snapshotting in the way it needs to for what you want
[05:22] <neoncontrails> I think I successfully configured sshfs to mount my Ubuntu server (via OSXFUSE), but I notice "sudo sshfs root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ /mnt/droplet" loads those droplet contents as hidden files. Is there a good reason for this?
[05:22] <jotterbot> I am used to using something like "SuperDuper!" for OSX. It allows a bootable disk creation whilst the machine is running
[05:23] <jotterbot> somsip: no I don't think it does. I have heard of something like using dd to output a disk over the network. Or just straight up cloning a drive
[05:23] <somsip> jotterbot: general search results suggest that you will only get non-atomic snapshots from ext4 so are not guaranteed a perfect copy which might cause problems
[05:23] <jotterbot> is there a way to temporarily mount the root filesystem readonly, run a clone, then remount R/W
[05:24] <somsip> jotterbot: this may change if you use LVM - do you?
[05:24] <somsip> jotterbot: you cant unmount a filesystem that is in use. You'd need to boot to another medium
[05:26] <jotterbot> okay, understood, thanks somsip
[05:29] <Bashing-om> Nighty nite all
[05:36] <neoncontrails> To clarify my question earlier, by 'hidden' I mean those sshfs-mounted files appear to be invisible to Finder even after toggling my AppleShowAllFiles flag to true. Is there a way to get around this, or does sshfs require you to open mounted files from terminal directly?
[05:36] <neoncontrails> More of a minor inconvenience than a problem.

[06:10] <_Jay_> Hello i have a asus k550ln laptop and every time i use the nvidia drivers form ubuntus driver options X breaks
[06:11] <indistylo> sjoshi, Sure Gentlemen
[06:11] <_Jay_> its a geforce 840m/intel hybrid graphis
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: is it an optimus card?
[06:12] <_Jay_> geforce 840m / intel hybrid
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: for optimus cards you need the package nvidia-prime
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime | _Jay_
[06:13] <_Jay_> is my card a optimus?
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: yes
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-840m
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: after installing nvidia-prime you need to enable performance mode in nvidia-settings
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: combined with the best working driver for your system also
[06:15] <_Jay_> do you know witch is the best version for 840m? 346.xx
[06:15] <_Jay_> ???
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: ive seen 346 + nvidia-prime working good on some users
[06:15] <_Jay_> shoudl i ust do a apt-get nvidia-prime
[06:16] <_Jay_> should i just*
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: but best way is to install nvidia-prime and test out drivers from list yourself
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: yes, sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime
[06:16] <_Jay_> i hate the testing part becasuse if it breaks the only way know to fix is a reinstall
[06:17] <_Jay_> is there a faster fix way if drivers dont work?
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | _Jay_ if things go wrong
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: in the recoverymode you can mostly enter 'fix broken packages' option to the rescue
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: or terminal and purge non-working drivers
[06:19] <_Jay_> so im installing just the nvidia-prime with dep now, after i go in software and updates and select the best looking drivers available of install via terminal?
[06:19] <_Jay_> or install*
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: if you have GUI, try drivers from additional drivers list
[06:21] <_Jay_> what does tested beside drivers mean beside the obvious that there tested     but for what? system like mine or for ubuntu?
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: for ubuntu
[06:23] <_Jay_> then a good idea to start with that one?
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: its hard to say mate, every card/system reacts different
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: select/test/reboot and good luck to you!
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: and dont forget to enable performance mode right
[06:25] <_Jay_> ok so just to make sure before i apply this if x breaks just fix broken package in recovery?
[06:25] <_Jay_> its a automatic fix?
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: not always, but it can do some rescue in soem cases yes
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: you can also start a terminal from recoverymode and purge that driver
[06:26] <_Jay_> ok worst case if that doesnt work and stuck mid boot?
[06:26] <_Jay_> that would work
[06:26] <andrewjs18> hi all, is there a layer 7 filtering module for iptables?
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: worst cases we had users will total black screen, non able to rescue mode
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> andrewjs18: maybe the ##networking guys might know this?
[06:27] <andrewjs18> lotuspsychje, possibly.  I just asked in the ##linux channel..no replies yet
[06:27] <_Jay_> so reinstall at that point/ and in terminal apt-get purge nvidia-current   or is it nvidia*
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: wich ubuntu version please?
[06:28] <_Jay_> 104.04
[06:28] <_Jay_> 14.04*
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> ok
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-current | _Jay_
[06:29] <_Jay_> but tested says 346,96
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: yep depends on wich driver you installed
[06:30] <_Jay_> does current mean what i have installed in apt-get or 304?
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: did you install 14.04 with cable + updates during setup?
[06:30] <_Jay_> yes
[06:30] <_Jay_> well wifi
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: wich driver did ubuntu choose by default
[06:31] <_Jay_> i did not
[06:31] <_Jay_> it*
[06:31] <_Jay_> just my intel
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> ok
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: try for nvidia-prime and 346 perhaps
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> see what it does
[06:31] <_Jay_> prime installed selected 346.96 tested
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> ok
[06:32] <_Jay_> ready to apply
[06:32] <_Jay_> just wanted m recovery option before i tried
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: cross your fingerz :p
[06:32] <p3nt3st> .
[06:32] <_Jay_> well if im back in a few it worked ifnot good night and see ya tomrowo on another install
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: normally you can always goto recoverymode
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> and fix things
[06:33] <_Jay_> lets hope   thanks abunch for help and info
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> np
[06:33] <_Jay_> brb goin to try
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> ok
[06:39] <genkgo> How can I start a service as a non-root user when booting? Googling gives me all kinds of suggestion @reboot with cron, upstart (but then I need root, right?). What would be best practice?
[06:39] <genkgo> I am on 14.04.3
[06:39] <Ben64> genkgo: explain more
[06:40] <greenerr> some services require root to run at boot.
[06:40] <greenerr> others do not.
[06:40] <genkgo> Ok, I wrote this program in Rust, gives me an executable. Should be started by the user that needs the program and has sufficient privileges.
[06:40] <genkgo> not being root
[06:41] <genkgo> that is too much privileges
[06:41] <genkgo> greenerr: program is running now. what if server crashes and (re)boots.
[06:42] <Ben64> you can use root to start it as any user you want
[06:42] <Ben64> like how apache runs as www-data
[06:43] <genkgo> Ben64: with start-stop-daemon?
[06:45] <Ben64> genkgo: yep
[06:46] <genkgo> Ben64: thanks, I will look into that
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> _Jay_: any luck mate?
[06:53] <_Jay_> still applying   just chaing settign on irc client whiel i wait
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> ok
[07:07] <d3m0n> I used: usermod -g <user> <group> to change primary group then: deluser <user> <group> but it still gives me the error "web" is the primary group
[07:10] <d3m0n> Ahh I had username's switched
[07:12] <lotuspsychje> morning SCHAAP137
[07:22] <jay_> drivers failed
[07:23] <jay_> had fun in the recovery   u still here bud?
[07:27] <Kartagis> why does shrinking a partition attempt to move it to the right on gparted?
[07:28] <antoon> Moo. Basically, if the system freezes and I can't do *anything* (ctrl+alt+backspace, alt+sysrq+r/other combos don't respond), and the machine stops answering on ping - what does that indicate?
[07:28] <antoon> Could it pretty much be anything, or something kernel/driver-related?
[07:30] <baizon> antoon: or hardware-related
[07:30] <baizon> so pretty much everything
[07:32] <antoon> Blubb
[07:33] <antoon> So if I try it on another intel compute stick, and the problem remains - I can be pretty certain that it's a driver/kernel issue?
[07:33] <hateball> antoon: unless you got a faulty batch. but yeah, most likely software :)
[07:40] <antoon> Well, that sucks
[07:40] <antoon> must say, so far rpi > ics
[07:42] <Silex> hello, this morning archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com answer not very reliably. Is there any "server status" page somewhere?
[07:42] <Silex> (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade sometimes take a very long time to download a few KB)
[07:43] <baizon> Silex: switch the server then?
[07:43] <baizon> Silex: im using the one from europe
[07:48] <dsa> I need to type "/ip -6 route add 2000::/3 via 2001:0db8:0:f101::1" at each computer start, how can I register permanently on ubuntu?
[07:50] <juan_> Hello
[07:50] <happycoder> how do I bind Control-Up to history-search-backward in ~/.inputrc ?
[07:50] <juan_> How to go to a spanish channel, please
[07:51] <dionysus69> I exported some env variable from root user's /etc/profile and when I log into a different sudoer user it is seen from there, I dont understand logic behind
[07:51] <dionysus69> logically I would think that only root user would be having access to that env variable
[07:52] <dionysus69> can anyone explain please?
[07:53] <baizon> dionysus69: i dont understand what you mean
[07:53] <Silex> baizon: you mean eu.archive.ubuntu.com?
[07:53] <loki_> hello, my cursor dissapears sometimes in gnome terminal in ubuntu 15.04
[07:53] <Silex> or my country name or whatever?
[07:53] <baizon> Silex: well im using my country
[07:53] <loki_> have you such problem? maybe somebody know how i can fix this?
[07:53] <dionysus69> environmental variable inside roots /etc/profile is also loaded for other user on login, I am just curious why
[07:53] <baizon> dionysus69: because /etc is global, not root
[07:54] <Silex> baizon: is there an easy "env var" way to change that or do I really have to edit sources.list etc?
[07:54] <Silex> baizon: it's for a build system
[07:54] <baizon> Silex: /root is for root
[07:54] <dionysus69> baizon: oh I see thanks, what are other global root directories or that one is the only one?
[07:54]  * Silex redirects last comment to dionysus69
[07:54] <baizon> Silex: i use gui
[07:54] <Silex> lol, ok
[07:54] <Silex> thanks anyway
[07:55] <baizon> Silex: i think there is a cli command
[07:55] <dionysus69> baizon: ok makes sense, I dont fully understand linux hierarchical structure, I am getting ther ehaha thanks
[07:55] <baizon> dionysus69: only one, /root
[07:55] <baizon> dionysus69: /etc is the config for all users on the system
[07:56] <baizon> Silex: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39922/how-do-you-select-the-fastest-mirror-from-the-command-line
[07:58] <baizon> dionysus69: no problem :)

[08:19] <rutu> hi, hope you do fine. i was wondering if somebody of you know how to reset the menu in ubuntu-15.10. the "shutdown" entry disappeared.
[08:21] <DJOnes> rutu: Its probably best to ask that in #ubuntu+1 That'll be the support channel for 5.10 until its released as a final version, the people there are more likely to know if there's an issue
[08:23] <baizon> rutu: unity --reset
[08:24] <baizon> rutu: else http://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration
[08:35] <rutu> @baizon - it says "ERROR: the reset option is now deprecated".
[08:36] <baizon> rutu: thats why i posted the second link
[08:41] <rutu> baizon: ah, tried "unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity" which made compiz crash, uploading the bug report now ...
[08:41] <baizon> rutu: u use a beta version so it can happen
[08:41] <OnceMe> hello how can I change directory default home for my user on linux

[08:44] <RepThis1> Hey guys im having some trouble with wake over wan and was wonder what the best way to get information about my nic is, Would it just be lspci | grep Ethernet. I seem to have found the model number but it gives me 3 models.
[08:46] <RepThis1> Also, if the driver you are looking for off of the company's website does not support linux kernel 4.1.x are you pretty screwed then or can u take an older driver and try to compile it or something?
[08:46] <RepThis1> :(
[08:47] <rutu> baizon,  " dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ " makes compiz not crash any more. now it hangs :)
[08:47] <Trinity> I just updated Ubuntu and now I can't play CS:GO anymore. I used a fix here... but it's not working anymore
[08:47] <Trinity> http://askubuntu.com/questions/475756/could-not-find-required-opengl-entry-point-glgeterror
[08:48] <Trinity> took a look at the directory, /usr/lib32/fglrx doesn't exist anymore
[08:48] <Trinity> any ideas?
[08:48] <baizon> Trinity: install fglrx again
[08:49] <Trinity> ah, simple enough. thanks!
[08:56] <zamba> which package provides flash for chromium in 14.04?
[08:57] <pesari> zamba: for example pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[08:57] <zamba> pesari: thanks
[08:58] <Trinity> on second note, the folder is now installed but cs:go is still throwing an error
[08:58] <Trinity> it's probably pointing to different libraries or something
[08:58] <Trinity> is there a command I can use to check what was updated?
[08:58] <Trinity> perhaps Steam was updated itself or something
[08:59] <baizon> Trinity: i would recommend to reinstall steam
[09:27] <pitiye> can any one teach me how to increase screen brightness in Lubuntu 15.04 ?
[09:28] <bhanz> what steps should be taken in order to determine performance issue apart from using system utilities ? any suggestion ?
[09:30] <vape> pitiye: There is a program called xbacklight that you can install via apt-get, and it allows you to change brightness with a simple interface through the command line.
[09:30] <vape> pitiye: sudo apt-get install xbacklight
[09:30] <vape> pitiye: xbacklight -set 100
[09:30] <pitiye> vape:  i did with xbacklight -set 70
[09:31] <vape> OK well it's out of 100, so 70 would be 70% brightness
[09:31] <vape> so if you want to make it brighter, use a number between 70 and 100
[09:33] <pitiye> but does not work
[09:33] <opss> How can I move all the window controls to the right (or left)? Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome.

[09:44] <freeroute> oh this is interesting... so if I understand correctly, I can choose between the pre-installed applications and the DE itself? https://youtu.be/97p1eKZRzng?t=103
[09:44] <freeroute> how exactly would I do this, just download Ubuntu minimal and at the software selection stage choose only the KDE without applications?
[09:44] <freeroute> I've asked this on #kubuntu but they're still asleep I think.
[09:46] <alex__> hello anyone
[09:46] <alex__> go hack google
[09:46] <rory> hello alex__
[09:47] <alex__> :D
[09:47] <rutu> join #ubuntu-unity
[09:47] <auronandace> freeroute: the kubuntu-desktop package would bring in the kde desktop and loads of other packages, if you want just the kde desktop then you would need to select the appropriate package (i think it is plasma-desktop, not sure since i don't use kde)
[09:48] <kanupatar> Is there any way to set the permission to /dev/ttyUSB0 to everyone?
[09:48] <kanupatar> means I dont need the sudo
[09:48] <freeroute> auronandace: ah k, so it sounds like I need to select the plasma-desktop then if I don't want apps like LibreOffice installed.
[09:49] <rory> kanupatar: don't need the sudo to do what?
[09:49] <simran> #freecad
[09:49] <auronandace> freeroute: yes
[09:49] <kanupatar> rory: to open /dev/ttyUSB0
[09:49] <freeroute> cool, thanks I'll try that
[09:49] <kanupatar> rory: should be available for all
[09:49] <rory> kanupatar: what is the current output of the command: "ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0" ?
[09:53] <kanupatar> crw...root
[09:53] <kanupatar> rory: ^^
[09:54] <rory> kanupatar: can you copy and paste it exactly please? ctrl-shift-c to copy from a terminal
[09:55] <kanupatar> crw-rw---- 1 root  Oct  6 15:23 /dev/ttyUSB0
[09:56] <kanupatar> rory: ^^
[09:57] <rory> kanupatar: Is this relevant to you? http://askubuntu.com/questions/133235/how-do-i-allow-non-root-access-to-ttyusb0-on-12-04
[10:00] <kanupatar> rory: confused

[10:24] <juan_> Thanks. bye
[10:25] <ubuntuspa> dear friends and fellows, happy new day, lets get started. just another issue to solve: booting xubuntu-live-usb fails. the reason is a unetbootin problem, there is some library modules missing that I need to add. Got the answer and workaround on this website: https://bugs.launchpad.net/tuxboot/+bug/1190256 now the question: as I don't have any ubu
[10:25] <ubuntuspa> ntu on my computers installed, do you have any ideas where I could find these files to copy them to my live-usb?
[10:26] <freeroute> ubuntuspa: can you boot inside any liveUSB or liveCD environment?
[10:27] <cfhowlett> https://bugs.launchpad.net/tuxboot/+bug/1190256/comments/8
[10:27] <ubuntuspa> freeroute: what I already have is the xubuntu-live-usb but it doesn't boot. I have debian istalled here :(
[10:28] <globalimport> how do you get the help menu to display in kismet? I read the manual and it said press "h", that is not doing anything for me from the main client screen. Also tried looking through the menus and can't find it. Also I found reference on a website and in the manual to kismet's ability to show a network's location, I even found a screenshot of a compass with an arrow showing estimated direction, but I can't find it anywhere in
[10:28] <globalimport> the menus. Any suggestions? There's no activity on #kismet, so apoligies for being a bit off topic but hopefully someone here knows?
[10:29] <freeroute> ubuntuspa: if you're on a linux system already, just plug in a USB stick that you can overwrite, and then do something like `dd if=/path/to/xubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX`
[10:29] <ubuntuspa> freeroute: ok so need to download xubuntu again and then not use unetbootin? :) thanks.
[10:29] <freeroute> but be sure to get the paths right, because dd is a dangerous tool
[10:30] <freeroute> you don't have to download it again if you already have the downloaded iso image.
[10:30] <ubuntuspa> thats why I prefer to use unetbootin. but I will be careful and there will be no damage at all
[10:31] <kanupatar> rory: crwxrwxrwx. 1 root dialout 188, 0 Oct  6 15:40 /dev/ttyUSB0
[10:31] <ubuntuspa> yes but with unetbootin it was in tmp and I had a restart, it's passed now
[10:31] <kanupatar> ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
[10:33] <agares> hello
[10:33] <mjayk> hay
[10:36] <ubuntuspa> thx for your help & bye
[10:36] <freeroute> np, gl
[10:41] <Qwertie> Is there any way to find the source VCS for a package? The ubuntu build of grive is 2 years ahead of the github version.
[11:12] <fishcooker> is there any offtopic channel for ubuntu
[11:13] <baizon> fishcooker: #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:16] <oddRevan> I tried creating a live CD with 'dd' as is advised almost every Google search result, didn't work, Unetbootin did
[11:16] <oddRevan> thoughts?
[11:16] <cfhowlett> oddRevan, it worked.  what's the problem?
[11:16] <oddRevan> why didn't dd work?
[11:18] <baizon> oddRevan: well you did something wrong with dd
[11:18] <cfhowlett> oddRevan, note:  dd is not included on the "create a USB" page.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[11:19] <k1l> oddRevan: did you target dd to sdb or sdb2? what iso was it?
[11:19] <oddRevan> I actually installed Debian, but I'm sure they're similar enough
[11:20] <oddRevan> k1l: sdb1, checked with fsck
[11:20] <k1l> so ask debian if they have hybrid isos (needed for dd to work with the iso). and sdb1 is the issue here. you need to ss it to bare metal, not to partitions.
[11:22] <yellabs-r2> hi there
[11:23] <yellabs-r2> all you good people :)
[11:23] <yellabs-r2> how - on terminal - can i get utc time to show if its pm or am ?
[11:23] <cfhowlett> yellabs-r2, date
[11:24] <yellabs-r2> yes i get date -u , but how would i now its am or pm ?
[11:24] <cfhowlett> %r shows the 12-hour clock tie
[11:25] <cfhowlett> see the man page
[11:25] <yellabs-r2> ah , sorry yes the man ..
[11:25] <ioria> date +%r
[11:27] <cfhowlett> ioria, indeed!
[11:28] <ioria> 😀
[11:33] <gerep> Which is the best way for me to create a bootable USB? I tried using dd and unetbootin but it doesn't boot
[11:33] <cfhowlett> !usb | gerep
[11:33] <k1l> gerep: what command did you use exactly with dd?
[11:33] <tinyhippo> gerep: does the machine you are trying ot boot from USB support booting from USB?
[11:34] <gerep> cfhowlett: I'm already using ubuntu, I want to write my FreeBSD iso on my USB and install it on my PC
[11:34] <gerep> k1l: sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Downloads/FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso of=/dev/sdb1 && sync
[11:34] <k1l> gerep: dont use sdb1. use sdb
[11:34] <cfhowlett> gerep, sounds like a great question for freebds.  I'm sure they provide exactly that kind of information
[11:34] <gerep> tinyhippo: Yes, it does
[11:35] <k1l> usbs dont boot from partitions. they boot from bare metal
[11:35] <gerep> k1l: great, I'll try that! :D
[11:35] <gerep> k1l: You are correct!
[11:35] <gerep> cfhowlett: I asked here because I thought there would be a Ubuntu specific application for that but I'll keep using dd, thanks
[11:36] <knob> gerep, there is also... dcfldd
[11:37] <cfhowlett> gerep, https://www.freebsdnews.com/2009/06/15/install-freebsd-80-usb-memory-stick/
[11:37] <knob> It shows a little bit more information as it's copying
[11:37] <gerep> knob: Ah! Great, thanks a lot! :D
[11:37] <Paulo> a versao <IP_ADDRESS> é beta.pois baixei e instalei e n sei
[11:37] <ioria> or maybe it's not an iso but a freebsd-memstick.img

[11:50] <Twirl> Hi guys, idk if this is the right channel but someone sent me a document with .xlsx extension and i tried to open it with libre office calc and it opens the file but it looks completely broken, is there another application i could try?
[11:52] <knob> Twirl, do you have the latests libreOffice updates?
[11:52] <knob> Alternatively, ask the person (if possible), to save it as a .odf (Open Document Format).
[11:52] <Twirl> knob: i guess, i always update all the software i have installed
[11:52] <Twirl> knob: that is not possible
[11:52] <knob> Hmm... then you will have to "play" with the document back and forth until you get what you want.
[11:53] <Twirl> knob: how?
[11:54] <xStark> Good evening.
[11:54] <knob> o/ xStark
[11:54] <knob> Twirl, well... just try everything.
[11:54] <knob> Do you open it, and automatically it throws the garbage?
[11:54] <Twirl> everything like what?
[11:54] <knob> Or does LibreOffice Calc give you "import" options?
[11:55] <antoon> Can I somehow check what driver is loaded for f.ex. wifi?
[11:55] <ioria> Twirl, if you run        libreoffice --calc filename.xlsx     ?
[11:56] <antoon> Ah, found it. Sorry
[11:57] <Twirl> ioria: whats the point of doing that?
[11:57] <knob> antoon, share the love.  How did you find it?  For others to learn  (including me)
[11:57] <knob> Twirl, did you try ioria's suggestion?
[11:57] <Twirl> im onto it
[11:58] <Twirl> that just opens the file same way as if i  double click it
[11:58] <antoon> I googled it and found: "sudo lshw -C network", knob, heh
[11:59] <knob> antoon, nice.  Thanks!
[11:59] <knob> Twirl, ok ok... so it's opening with Calc staright up.
[11:59] <ioria> Twirl, are you 14.04 ?
[11:59] <knob> And not "import options" when the file is going to open?
[11:59] <Twirl> 15.04
[12:01] <Twirl> knob: nope it just opens the file
[12:01] <knob> Man, I am at a loss... last resource (for me), would be to open it up in Excel, save as odf, then open in LibreOffice
[12:02] <ioria> Twirl, it's possible that it contains some macros, that can be used only in MS, as far as i know
[12:02] <Twirl> yea and i have to switch to windows :\
[12:03] <mcphail> Twirl: MS office runs reasonably well under Wine, if you have a copy
[12:03] <mjayk> mcphail: depends heavily on the version :(
[12:03] <allizom> Twirl: does this document contain sensitive info?
[12:04] <allizom> you could try one of these online document converter
[12:04] <Twirl> allizom: which one?
[12:04] <k1l> Twirl: easy fix: ask the one to send it as .doc (office 2007) and not as .docx.
[12:05] <Twirl> k1l: that is not easy, that is impossible :P
[12:05] <allizom> Twirl: first result: https://cloudconvert.com/ods-to-xlsx or anything that works
[12:06] <Twirl> mcphail: im not going to add anything to wine, i dont like it, if it comes to that i would just boot into windows and deal with it
[12:06] <allizom> sorry the inverse
[12:06] <Twirl> allizom: k im trying
[12:06] <mcphail> Twirl: fair enough. Unfortunately, there will never be a complete solution for dealing with MS files on Ubuntu unless MS releases a Linux version
[12:07] <k1l> Twirl: well if you want MS office to run on linux without wine, then you need to talk to MS to support linux.
[12:07] <Twirl> allizom: lol now it looks really funny
[12:07] <Twirl> and broken
[12:07] <k1l> Twirl: so you are making it harder than it should be, but that is your choice then
[12:07] <Twirl> allizom: everything got duplicated
[12:07] <Twirl> k1l: i guess ill just boot into windows then, no worries
[12:07] <k1l> Twirl: if that is your choice, then do it.
[12:08] <ioria> there are on line converter do pdf ...
[12:09] <Twirl> the pdf worked pretty good!! ty allizom
[12:10] <Twirl> still looks completely broken, maybe the person didnt know how to work with calc documents
[12:10] <Twirl> anyways the first part is decent
[12:11] <gardar> Twirl: have you tried wps office?
[12:11] <gardar> http://wps.com/linux/
[12:12] <Twirl> gardar: is it free? is it in the repos?
[12:12] <gardar> Twirl: yea it's free
[12:12] <gardar> but not open source, so it's not in the repos
[12:12] <gardar> Twirl: you can get .deb files here http://wps-community.org/downloads
[12:15] <banese> Hey
[12:18] <Twirl> gardar: might give it a try, dont like to install additional software just for one time use
[12:19] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:19] <ioria> Twirl, you can try with gnumeric (in the repo) and convert in cvs with the command ssconvert file.xlsx newfile.csv
[12:20] <gardar> Twirl: yeah well I do a lot of business with partners that use microsoft products, so WPS has become my primary office suite, it's really compatible with microsoft office formats
[12:20] <gardar> but to each his own
[12:20] <gardar> and it's not like software can't be uninstalled :)
[12:21] <Twirl> ioria: that will probably look the same as the online converter
[12:21] <ioria> Twirl, likely
[12:22] <NovaKittyCatMeow> I'm trying to get an Edimax N150 (ew-7811un) USB wifi adapter working reliably.  It seems to not work after I suspend.  Ubuntu supports this device out of the box, or it's supposed to.  I tried the driver from Edimax too but it won't compile.  I'm tempted to try the driver from https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes, as alot of comments in forums indicate that it works.  Has anyone been through all this before?
[12:25] <Twirl> well, tried dochub and it says the file contains errors, maybe its corrupted or something
[12:27] <ioria> Twirl, have you tried this ? https://online2pdf.com/convert-xlsx-to-pdf
[12:30] <Twirl> ioria: :O
[12:30] <Twirl> that fixed it
[12:30] <ioria> Twirl, good
[12:30] <Twirl> ty
[12:31] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, at least this pvaret compiles  . .. .  last part http://askubuntu.com/questions/509498/is-there-a-standard-wifi-driver-for-the-edimax-ew-7811un
[12:31] <ioria> Twirl, np
[12:34] <NovaKittyCatMeow> iroia, Yes it does seem to work.  I'm trying it on a VM to test right now.  What I'm wondering is will I be unable to update linux kernels without breaking the driver?
[12:35] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, with dkms it should .... if not, you recompile
[12:37] <NovaKittyCatMeow> My problem is this is a friends computer I'm fixing up, and this friend has no idea what linux is.  I was hoping to keep it really noob friendly.  Is locking the kernel version a  resonable option or is that a bad idea?
[12:38] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, just write a script with the compile commands ... put it on the Desktop with a label "if WFI not working after an update" :_)
[12:41] <NovaKittyCatMeow> ioria, hmm that sounds like a good idea....would it just be the "sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10" and "sudo depmod -a" parts?
[12:42] <Guest6583> exit
[12:42] <Guest6583> exit
[12:42] <Guest6583> exit
[12:42] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, all of them...  i guess, remember to cd in the proper directory and the beginning of the script
[12:43] <Guest6583> help
[12:43] <Guest6583> cd
[12:43] <mcphail> Guest6583: /exit
[12:43] <Guest6583> 3q
[12:43] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, without the first two commands, i mean
[12:44] <NovaKittyCatMeow> ioria, you mean i can skip re cloning the source and running "sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes"?
[12:44] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, yes, you don't need the clone anymore
[12:45] <NovaKittyCatMeow> good...I was worried if the version changed again...the compile command would have to change too
[12:46] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, no
[12:47] <joel__> k
[12:48] <NovaKittyCatMeow> ioria, what i mean is the commands suggested at http://askubuntu.com/questions/509498/is-there-a-standard-wifi-driver-for-the-edimax-ew-7811un (at the end) no longer work because the version has changed from 1.9 to 1.10.
[12:49] <NovaKittyCatMeow> thanks for the advice ioria!
[12:50] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, no, i mean the last part of the page...
[12:50] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, where you see "With an ethernet connection do:"
[12:56] <NovaKittyCatMeow> iroia, yes thats what i mean..the command "sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.9" is no longer valid after "git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git", it should be "sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10" now.  So if I were to put it all in a script and 1.11 came along the script would break.
[12:57] <maximusfl_> Any other tool besides top to figure put what process is using cpu
[12:57] <NovaKittyCatMeow> iroia: so not pulling the code again would be preferable
[12:57] <maximusfl_> I am looking for a command line tool
[12:57] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, oh... i got it.... yes, good idea
[12:57] <NovaKittyCatMeow> maximusfl_: I like htop
[12:58] <SCHAAP137> maximusfl_: i like htop
[12:58] <maximusfl_> thanks I will check it out
[12:58] <SCHAAP137> very similar to top
[12:58] <NovaKittyCatMeow> we both like htop
[12:59] <SCHAAP137> there is no life without htop
[13:00] <maximusfl_> I have a process that spikes the cpu to 100% very quickly, but top seems not to catch it before it goes back down to 3%
[13:00] <SCHAAP137> maximusfl_: you can use the -d option to set the screen update interval / delay time
[13:01] <SCHAAP137> it takes a value in the form of x.x seconds
[13:02] <maximusfl_> _d option for htop?
[13:03] <maximusfl_> Or d option on top
[13:06] <maximusfl_> Thanks every one!
[13:20] <wakeatnight> hi i have installed a mainline lowlatency kernel (4.0) on ubuntu 15.04.. now software updater wants me to `update` the 3.19 kernel. should i do that and will i have to change grub afterwards to default boot into mainline?

[14:18] <k1l> JunkHunk: yeah, the 3rd party repo form mono is broken with depencies. it ships a newer version of mono-mcs but their gmcs refers to the older version.
[14:19] <JunkHunk> dead end then?
[14:19] <k1l> JunkHunk: you could try a "sudo apt-get install -f" but that might reuslt in a broken package system. i would suggest you talk to the mono guys to either correct that circle link or to ship the proper versions

[14:25] <bomber> Sorry... I was being strongly frustrated over this..
[14:26] <alig> i want connect phone to PC w/USB
[14:26] <A124> IDK. Noone helped me with anything so far on this channel.
[14:26] <A124> So I should be frustraetd too.
[14:26] <alig> and use it as wifi router
[14:26] <NovaKittyCatMeow> bomber: is your CMOS battery dead?
[14:27] <alig> so all devices are in one network
[14:28] <alig> PC - Ubuntu Server 15.04
[14:28] <ghoti> alig, sounds like you want to use your phone as a wifi hotspot for the notebook, but at the same time tether via usb for the PC.
[14:28] <ghoti> alig: or buy a wifi card for the PC.
[14:28] <alig> yes
[14:28] <alig> no i want to do it without any devices
[14:29] <alig> so i did it
[14:29] <ghoti> I've never tried usb tethering while hotspot is active, but you might want to ask in #android.  Unless your phone us running Ubuntu.
[14:29] <alig> i can ssh my PC through my phone
[14:29] <alig> but using adb connect
[14:30] <alig> while android as wifi hotspot
[14:30] <auronandace> alig: how come you have a server that requires a phone for an internet connection?
[14:31] <A124> How can I find what is eating my space?
[14:32] <A124> Something is slowly eatimg my space.. 1MB a minute.
[14:32] <HackerII> the HD monstors
[14:32] <ghoti> A124: what filesystem is it on?  (Do you have separate filesystems for /var, /usr, /home, /tmp/, etc?)
[14:33] <auronandace> A124: maybe it is a log file getting too much input
[14:33] <OerHeks> A124, check your logs in /var/log/ or the logs in your /home/ , xsession errors maybe?
[14:33] <A124> Ext
[14:33] <anew> where the heck is the chrome executable, i'm in opt/google/chrome and it's not in there
[14:34] <A124> Thanks will check.
[14:34] <ghoti> A124: du -sk / ... then run it again a few minutes later. If /var is growing, try du -sk /var .. and continue to drill down.
[14:34] <A124> Thought about logs, idk where
[14:34] <auronandace> anew: try: which google-chrome
[14:34] <ghoti> er
[14:34] <bomber> I'm sorry, I just lost my connection and didn't check messages.  Did anyone respond to my situation?
[14:34] <jhutchins> A124: du with various options.
[14:34] <anew> auronandace, how do i run cl from gui ?
[14:34] <ghoti> A124: I meant, du -sk /* and du -sk /var/*. :)
[14:34] <cfhowlett> which google-chrome anew
[14:34] <ghoti> bomber: nope.
[14:35] <bomber> I'm currently hoping to be able to build a boot usb that would work
[14:35] <auronandace> anew: open a terminal from the dash
[14:35] <bomber> But i fear it won't because there are no usb boot options
[14:35] <ghoti> bomber: but it doesn't sound like it's ubuntu-related. Sounds more like a hardware (motherboard) problem to me.
[14:35] <anew> hwo do i run terminal from the gui ?
[14:35] <ghoti> anew: which gui?
[14:35] <cfhowlett> hit the super button, type in bash
[14:36] <cfhowlett> or terminal
[14:36] <anew> what button ?
[14:36] <ghoti> sigh
[14:36] <anew> yes kill me
[14:36] <cfhowlett> "windows" button
[14:36] <k1l_> anew: the one with the windows logo on it. its called "super button" on non windows OS
[14:36] <k1l_> for obvious reasons :)
[14:36] <anew> that just brings up a search bar
[14:37] <k1l_> anew: type terminal in it.
[14:37] <grazia> ciao atutti
[14:37] <cfhowlett> anew, and NOW you type terminal
[14:37] <k1l_> or press ctrl+alt+t
[14:37] <anew> yeah but how do i add these icons to the desktop
[14:37] <grazia> qualcuno parla italiano?
[14:37] <k1l_> !it | grazia
[14:37] <cfhowlett> !it | grazia
[14:38] <OerHeks> anew, when terminal is open, lock that icon
[14:38] <k1l_> anew: desktop, or launcher bar?
[14:38] <anew> says it's in usr/bin/google-chrome, but when i open that it just opens a text file
[14:39] <anew> k1l_, launcher bar
[14:39] <cfhowlett> pretty sure terminal is on the launcher bar
[14:39] <OerHeks> oh, now it is google-chrome ..
[14:39] <auronandace> cfhowlett: not by default
[14:39] <anew> kill me
[14:39] <k1l_> anew: is it unity?
[14:39] <cfhowlett> anew, stop saying Kill ME.  not helpful and/or annoying
[14:39] <anew> i have no terminal and no chrome on launcher bar, when i do which google-chrome and i open usr/bin/google-chrome a txt file opens
[14:40] <k1l_> anew: stop
[14:40] <bomber> If anyone by any chance had this kind of thing occurred to them, please let me know..
[14:40] <bomber> Kind of desperate, as this is my work computer. 😊
[14:40] <anew> can anyone help me with chrome on launcher bar !
[14:41] <k1l_> anew: press "super+a"  then type "chrome" click on it or press enter (assuming here you installed that properly). then chrome should launch. then right-click on the logo of chrome in the launcher and check "keep in launcher"
[14:41] <cfhowlett> cd !
[14:41] <anew> done
[14:41] <anew> k1l_, 100 irc points for you, can be traded in for a pizza at any time
[14:43] <k1l_> anew: just take a breath in future to reduce the frustration. that keeps other motivated and makes it easier to help :)
[14:44] <bomber> I took out the batter from my laptop. It has now booted to my windows os
[14:45] <bomber> Interesting how removing power is the sole solution to any digital problem
[14:46] <xStark> k1l_: If you remember the keyboard problem I was mentioning a few days ago, I'm glad to tell you that it is solved. The problem was sticky keys. Disabling completely eliminated the problem :P
[14:46] <A124> Parasitic dpkg..
[14:47] <auronandace> xStark: that tells me that you use shift an awful lot in quick succession
[14:47] <xStark> Yeah lol
[14:47] <k1l_> A124: that sort of rants and remarks demotivates other volunteers to help you. please stop that
[14:47] <xStark> the shift key toggled the caps lock, not the caps lock key itself lol
[14:47] <auronandace> xStark: glad you found out what it was, thanks for reporting back
[14:48] <xStark> auronandace: Anytime :P
[14:49] <TJ-> bomber: Laptops often don't lose state from  all components if the battery cannot be physically disconnected
[14:49] <bomber> 👍
[14:49] <alig> i have: Netbook(WiFi) --"ADB CONNECT"-->> (Wi-Fi) Android Wi-Fi hotspot (USB) ---"SSH"----->> (USB) PC
[14:50] <NovaKittyCatMeow> bomber are your bios options not saving?
[14:50] <NovaKittyCatMeow> bomber: or resetting?
[14:51] <alig> i want: Netbook(WiFi) ---->> (Wi-Fi) Android Wi-Fi hotspot (USB) ---"SSH"----->> (USB) PC
[14:51] <sdjaio> I am using ubuntu 14.04, is it possible to return ubuntu's factory settings?
[14:52] <A124> k1l_ What rant or remark?
[14:52] <cfhowlett> sdjaio, on your /home settings, yes.  on system settings, I believe so.
[14:52] <A124> Parasitic dpkg was eating my space.
[14:52] <A124> I found that out. as solution.
[14:52] <A124> It that a rant?
[14:53] <JOW> Hello guys! I wanna connect to a printer here.
[14:53] <JOW> It prints by wifi
[14:53] <JOW> How do I do it?!?!
[14:53] <pbx> JOW, what have you tried?
[14:53] <pbx> JOW, step 1 is to get the printer on your network.
[14:53] <TJ-> JOW: http://localhost:631   is the CUPS admin interface. Your user will need to be in the 'lpadmin' group to add a new network printer
[14:53] <JOW> pbx have tried add a printer and search for it's name
[14:54] <serard> Hello
[14:54] <pavan> t
[14:54] <serard> Anyone is using unison ?
[14:54] <pbx> JOW, is the printer connected to your network?
[14:54] <JOW> I'll enter on localhost:631 pbx TJ-
[14:55] <pbx> JOW, is the printer connected to your network?
[14:55] <k1l_> serard: i bet some do.
[14:55] <sdjaio> cfhowlett, can I remove all install packages configurations etc by runing a command?
[14:55] <cfhowlett> serard, https://inkscape.org/media/cms_page_media/56/ask-smart-questions.pdf
[14:55] <JOW> I can print on it when I'm at windows pbx
[14:55] <TJ-> JOW: Auto-discovery depends on a lot of variables which you may not have control of on the network, so you may need to manually provide the Printer's IP address and printing interface protocol
[14:55] <serard> Oups, sorry...
[14:56] <k1l_> serard: basically, unison is 2-way rsync. but what is your issue?
[14:56] <serard> I'm using unison. It quits after sync, but I want it to wait for new changes to re-sync auto. Anyone knows ? Or should I use inotifywait ?
[14:56] <cfhowlett> sdjaio, go into your /home and delete all .hidden files and folders.  note: this is the nuclear option and it WILL remove all settings and  configs you stored.  be sure.  be very sure.  then: logout, login
[14:57] <pbx> JOW, i think this should work: Printers > Add > Network Printer > Find Network Printer... and wait
[14:57] <pbx> at least it worked for both my wifi printers
[14:58] <sdjaio> cfhowlett, I compiled some source files that installed stuffs in directories like /usr/lib/bin etc.
[14:58] <JOW> pbx TJ- I'll need to go now. thank you though. I might come back later
[14:58] <sdjaio> I think I need more than removing /home
[14:58] <cfhowlett> sdjaio, sorry, then.  above my pay  grade
[14:58] <k1l_> serard: i think inotify is the proper way. or you go for a cronjob
[14:59] <serard> ah ok I thought unison would keep on waiting for..
[14:59] <TJ-> sdjaio: if the manually built package used "make install" it should have also "make uninstall"
[14:59] <cfhowlett> sdjaio, iirc there is a dpkg command to reconfigure your entire system
[15:00] <TJ-> sdjaio: if that package over-wrote existing files from Ubuntu packages, you would need to identify the package(s) that own those files and do "apt-get --reinstall install <package>" for each
[15:00] <sdjaio> I guess you don't remember it, right?
[15:00] <serard> thank you k1l_
[15:00] <cfhowlett> sdjaio, http://man.he.net/man8/dpkg-reconfigure
[15:01] <xmj> moin
[15:01] <sdjaio> I guess I will just reformat it
[15:01] <xmj> with mailx, where do i find a list of permissible debug levels?
[15:01] <TJ-> sdjaio: "dpkg --configure -a" will reconfigure all packages (re-write their configs under /etc/) but it won't fix issues with library or other files that have been changed
[15:02] <TJ-> sdjaio: you could run a script against the package file checksums and compare with the installed file checksums, of you're concerned standard installed files have been replaced
[15:03] <EriC^^> !info debsums | sdjaio TJ-
[15:03] <mpriess> How do I know if a kernel version for e.g. 3.17.x contain the fix? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72795#c56
[15:03] <TJ-> EriC^^:  sdjaio That's the one!
[15:04] <xStark> Suspending does cause problems sometimes, right?
[15:04] <auronandace> xStark: it can yes, very model specific though
[15:05] <xStark> auronandace: Hmm yeah. It usually gives me a dialog box with the text "Ubuntu has experienced an internal problem" after resuming from a suspend. Best thing to do is lock.
[15:06] <TJ-> mpriess: check the Changelog for the specific kernel package: e.g. "apt-get changelog linux-image.XXXXXXX"
[15:06] <auronandace> xStark: if you get offered the option to send an error report you could look at the details to see what exactly is going wrong
[15:07] <TJ-> mpriess: We don't have 3.17 being shipped though; 3.13, 3.16, 3.19, 4.2 as far as I recall
[15:08] <NovaKittyCatMeow> i want to make a script that runs some commands as the current user, and some commands as root.  Since using sudo in a script isnt viable, running the whole script with sudo is recommended.  If I do this, how can I run specific commands in the script with my user account without providing a password?  If I use "su -c 'command' username", it doesn't seem to work right...When I use "sudo -u username command" it says
[15:08] <NovaKittyCatMeow> command not found.  I'm trying to make a quick script that will clone source code from git and compile and install it.  I want to be able to change directory and run git as a user, but do the rest as root.
[15:08] <TJ-> xStark: There way me clues as to what caused Supend/Resume issues in "/var/log/kern.log"
[15:09] <geirha> NovaKittyCatMeow: sudo -u username cmd
[15:09] <geirha> oops sorry, missed that part
[15:09] <TJ-> NovaKittyCatMeow: so the only step you'd want 'root' for is "make install" presumably?
[15:10] <geirha> NovaKittyCatMeow: sudo like to override PATH. It can be configured in sudoers (with sudo visudo)
[15:10] <NovaKittyCatMeow> TJ: well its a dkms module so theres 3 lines that need to be run with root or sudo
[15:10] <Guest22972> I have an Ubuntu 14.04 server that runs an old mainframe system that our employees connect to remotely using Telnet. If a remote user loses their connection while they are working in the system they can't get back in unless we change the users ip address that they are getting. This happens when there are power outages or work being done on the providers lines. We have a failover setup that pushes user traffic from our
[15:10] <Guest22972> MPLS network provider to our cable provider. We think the difference in network hops is causing the issue but when I clear the arp table using sudo ip -s -s neigh flush all nothing happens. How can I prevent users not being able to get back in from the ip address that they already have? This also happens to ssh connections, so it's not just telnet.
[15:11] <cfhowlett> !server | Guest22972
[15:12] <TJ-> NovaKittyCatMeow: Well, only 2 really: "dkms add", "dkms install" (does a build if needed). You could add to sudoers a rule to allow your user to run "dkms" without a password
[15:12] <xStark> .
[15:12] <NovaKittyCatMeow> TJ: also depmod -a I believe
[15:12] <NovaKittyCatMeow> TJ: or jsut depmod, as root
[15:13] <alper> salve
[15:13] <erry> hai, i'm trying to compile a program that needs boost libs. I've installed libboost-all-dev, but i still get configure: error: libboost_thread not found
[15:13] <erry> and i can't find libboost_thread with `locate`
[15:13] <erry> any advice?
[15:14] <NovaKittyCatMeow> geirha: so youre suggesting I should edit sudoers and make commands like "cd" and "git" available to sudo, then use sudo -u?
[15:14] <gp5st> in 14.04 is there anyway to install nagios from apt w/o apache? it's pulled in as a secondary dependency, not for the dep on httpd
[15:15] <gp5st> NovaKittyCatMeow: you can't use cd with sudo
[15:15] <JAZ1976> ubottu: I am using the server edition.
[15:16] <gp5st> NovaKittyCatMeow: what issue are you having using sudo with git?
[15:16] <NovaKittyCatMeow> gp5st: thats jsut it..i want to use cd as the user....from a script run with sudo
[15:16] <cfhowlett> !server | JAZ1976
[15:16] <geirha> NovaKittyCatMeow: you cannot run cd with sudo
[15:16] <gp5st> NovaKittyCatMeow: ah, in a script. So, what's the problem you're encountering sudo scriptname?
[15:17] <NovaKittyCatMeow> gp5st: i want to make a script to change to a certain dir, pull code with git, then compile and install it with root...and from what i can tell the best way is to run the script as root
[15:17] <gp5st> geirha: if it's in a script you can, you can't just "sudo cd", though
[15:17] <geirha> ( cd /the/dir && sudo -u username git pull )   # including the parenthesis
[15:18] <gp5st> NovaKittyCatMeow: well, it's not recommended to run more than you need with sudo, is there any reason the script can't just sudo make install (or w/e the installation step is) and have the rest of it run as a normal user?
[15:18] <geirha> NovaKittyCatMeow: or:  sudo -u username sh -c 'cd /the/dir && git pull'
[15:19] <NovaKittyCatMeow> gp5st:from what ive found online I shouldnt try to use sudo within a script
[15:20] <JAZ1976> Any help with my server problem would be great
[15:20] <BlueSky> With what program can i ajust my standard ubntu windows ?
[15:20] <gp5st> NovaKittyCatMeow: why?
[15:20] <pbx> BlueSky, what do you mean by "adjust"?
[15:21] <gp5st> JAZ1976: kind of useless to ask for help if no one knows what the problem is
[15:21] <JAZ1976> I have an Ubuntu 14.04 server that runs an old mainframe system that our employees connect to remotely using Telnet. If a remote user loses their connection while they are working in the system they can't get back in unless we change the users ip address that they are getting. This happens when there are power outages or work being done on the providers lines. We have a failover setup that pushes user traffic from our MPLS
[15:21] <JAZ1976> network provider to our cable provider. We think the difference in network hops is causing the issue but when I clear the arp table using sudo ip -s -s neigh flush all nothing happens. How can I prevent users not being able to get back in from the ip address that they already have? This also happens to ssh connections, so it's not just telnet.
[15:21] <BlueSky> I would like to have another look of the windows
[15:21] <NovaKittyCatMeow> gp5st: i dont know why to be honest, and i havent tried it....but im guessing that perhaps it doesnt work...issuign a command with sudo from within a script.
[15:22] <OerHeks> JAZ1976, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server too
[15:22] <geirha> NovaKittyCatMeow: It does work, but sudo cd doesn't work, since cd is a shell builtin; and would be nonsensical as an external command
[15:23] <k1l_> BlueSky: find a theme that you like and try that
[15:23] <k1l_> !themes | BlueSky
[15:23] <pbx> BlueSky, see Ubuntu Software Center > Themes & Tweaks -- then search for "theme" in the search box
[15:23] <ioria> NovaKittyCatMeow, make a script with #!/bin/bash   sudo apt-get update, made executable  (chmod +x) .... it just will call for the passwd .... but you can cd as normal user ....
[15:23] <JAZ1976> OerHeks: Thanks I'll try there.
[15:23] <BlueSky> thank you ubottu
[15:24] <TJ-> NovaKittyCatMeow: 'dkms install' does depmod so you'd only need 'root' for 'dkms [add|install]'
[15:24] <gp5st> JAZ1976: I've never had an issue where the same ip couldn't reconnect. sorry
[15:24] <NovaKittyCatMeow> geirha gp5st: ok let me try just using sudo in the script and see if that works..and thanks both of you for the assistance
[15:27] <JAZ1976> gp5st: Thanks for getting back to me.
[15:28] <gp5st> if you ssh -vvv to an sshd -vvv do you get any extra info?
[15:28] <gp5st> do you have a firewall system that's freaking out?
[15:29] <Hudsonkem>  after install compiz in xfce, everythin works great, i tried reboot to see if its okay, so okay, but in this morning when i turn on my computer, menubar just disappeared, so, any ideas? (if i set another menubar its work but disappear on reboot)
[15:30] <cfhowlett> Hudsonkem, I assume you installed to xubuntu.  xfce is a desktop environment not an OS.  and quite likely compiz is having a conflict with xfce.
[15:31] <Hudsonkem> cfhowlett, i turn off xfwm4(xfce compositor) to change to compiz
[15:31] <anthonyreineck21> Hi
[15:32] <cfhowlett> Hudsonkem, so it seems that compiz isn't properly triggering the menu bar.  not entirely surprising.  ask #xfce or send a query to the forums/mail lists.
[15:33] <Hudsonkem> cfhowlett, i already waiting feedback,
[15:34] <Hudsonkem> cfhowlett, i have seem using compiz in xubuntu, as well, they got the lucky to do it work properly
[15:34] <anthonyr21322> hi
[15:35] <anthonyreineck21> hi
[15:36] <anthonyr21322> Ds anyone talk here
[15:36] <anthonyr21322> ?
[15:36] <anthonyr21322> Guys?
[15:37] <OerHeks> anthonyr21322, sure, This is ubuntu support.
[15:37] <anthonyr21322> Helloooooo?
[15:37] <cfhowlett> anthonyr21322, this is ubuntu support,not chitchat.
[15:37] <cfhowlett> !ot | anthonyr21322
[15:37] <anthonyr21322> ok
[15:38] <xStark> anthonyr21322: People talk here when support is being provided lol. This isn't a general chat channel.
[15:38] <xStark> Support channel.
[15:55]  * ActionParsnip listens to the wind blow
[15:58] <cfhowlett> ActionParsnip, and I thought it was just me ...
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> cfhowlett: just making sure it was active in here
[16:01] <timbozeman> Hiya! My tv tuner has firm ware that you put in /lib/firmware/"$(uname -r)". When I update the uname -r directory changes and I need to move the firmware. Is there a way to hook into hte update process and automate moving the files?
[16:01] <|TheWolf|> Hi! I was entrusted with updating a 14.04 server. When checking out the environment, I discovered that for some reason the server runs legacy grub. When running apt --installed list, I get the following line: grub-common/trusty,now 2.02~beta2-9 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.3]. Does this mean a simple apt-get upgrade will update to Grub2?
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> |TheWolf|  there's also #ubuntu-server
[16:02] <cfhowlett> |TheWolf|, easy to test: apt-get -s dist-upgrade          will display the incoming packages ... but NOT install a thing.
[16:03] <|TheWolf|> MonkeyDust: sorry, didn't know that
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> timbozeman: you could have a cron job that runs hourly to check the uname -a folder, if they don't exist then copy them in
[16:04] <|TheWolf|> cfhowlett : how is that different to [dist-]upgrade --dry-run?
[16:04] <blah-> how to install gnome 3.18 ?
[16:04] <cfhowlett> |TheWolf|, never used the dry-run so can't answer
[16:04] <|TheWolf|> cfhowlett : ok, thx anyway
[16:05] <k1l_> blah-: depends on the exact ubuntu version
[16:05] <blah-> ubuntu 14.04
[16:05] <marko_> blah- : sudo apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktop I think
[16:05] <blah-> i'm using 14.04
[16:06] <k1l_> blah-: get a PPA for that then
[16:06] <cfhowlett> sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[16:06] <blah-> how? :)
[16:06] <blah-> what is the first command?
[16:06] <cfhowlett> ah, sorry.  wrong version.
[16:06] <k1l_> !info gnome-shell trusty
[16:07] <blah-> so anyone can help me? :(
[16:08] <k1l_> seems like gnome 3.18 (released last week or when? ) doesnt mix well with ubuntu 14.04 lts.
[16:08] <k1l_> blah-: find a ppa
[16:09] <k1l_> even in 15.10 its not 3.18 since it was relaeased just after the 15.10 freeze
[16:09] <cfhowlett> !latest | blah-
[16:11] <k1l_> blah-: if you want gnome 3.18 better go for ubuntu 15.04 or ubuntu 15.10. since a install of gnome 3.18 will need to replace that much libs and gnome stuff, it will be not LTS anyway
[16:11] <blah-> but on their site, 15.10 version is not there
[16:12] <blah-> i saw only 15.04
[16:12] <k1l_> because 15.10 is still in development stage
[16:12] <blah-> ahhh so 15.10 still not yet released.
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> blah-: not quite yet, right month though :)
[16:13] <k1l_> blah-: see this answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/681459/how-to-install-gnome-3-18-on-ubuntu
[16:14] <blah-> ok man
[16:14] <k1l_> only solution seems to be a 15.10 with the gnome staging PPA.
[16:14] <blah-> wait..
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> considering the amount of support yu lose, its hardly worth it
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> *you
[16:21] <zamba> how can i shut down networkmanager
[16:21] <zamba> it keeps respawning it if i kill it
[16:22] <MonkehParade> zamba: sudo service network-manager stop ?
[16:22] <k1l_> zamba: why you want it to stop?
[16:23] <MonkehParade> k1l_: I've had that happen with modem manager
[16:23] <MonkehParade> k1l_: modem-manager doesn't have any backports :c
[16:34] <Guest32368> hello, i have  one usb, if i want add one file in usb or delete one file in usb, give me error message "input/output error" how can i repair this fix?
[16:35] <cfhowlett> i/o errors = failing/failed USB.  replace it.
[16:38] <Guest32368> is usb stick what replace?
[16:38] <cfhowlett> Guest32368, your USB is dead or dying.  don't use it.  buy a new one.
[16:38] <Anthaas> Hi guys, question out of frustration here, is it possible to have the touchpad on my laptop not respond to being tapped when typing - I keep typing and then suddenly typing halfway up the page when I accidentally tap it
[16:39] <Guest32368> ok thx
[16:39] <cfhowlett> Anthaas, separate keyboard is a cheap and sane option.
[16:41] <Anthaas> cfhowlett: Yeah, that might work at home, but when I take this laptop everywhere itll be a bit of an issue.
[16:42] <cfhowlett> Anthaas, price to pay for your peace of mind I'd say.  YMMV.
[16:42] <jonathan_> if i install beta 2 of 15.10 now, will i have a regular 15.10 system after it is released (22nd) or will it keep saying that i have a development build?>
[16:43] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu+1 | jonathan_
[16:43] <jonathan_> check
[16:43] <Anthaas> cfhowlett: Yeah I guess so. For some reason the "turn touch pad off" button on my keyboard doesn't work since I have installed Ubuntu - I could easily just plug in a mouse which would much more portable otherwise.
[16:44] <cfhowlett> I wen with the dell wireless combo.  nice KB and mouse.
[16:45] <jonathan_> it's just a bit sad that people are usually much faster to send you elsewhere than to provide real answers ;-).
[16:46] <dani_> hi
[16:47] <dani_> ciao
[16:49] <bdiehr> I'm follwing a guide and it assumes there exists the file /etc/init.d/netfs exists but it doesn't. Anyone know how to address this<
[16:49] <k1l_> jonathan_: because people tend to carry on with a trillion of more offtopic question after the first one. and that results in even more discussions then :/
[17:01] <sapan> how to use wireshark
[17:02] <tonyyarusso> sapan: Please don't crosspost in multiple channels.
[17:02] <k1l_> sapan: if you are interested in inspecting your own traffic than you want to look into the documents to get a clue what you are doing there anyway. if you are doing illegal stuff we wont help anyway
[17:03] <MonkehParade> what did I miss?
[17:05] <sapan> i want to know if i am signing in to my email account those who r on my network will they be able to view my paswword
[17:05] <k1l_> sapan: so read the docs and get a clue.
[17:05] <tonyyarusso> If you're using TLS/SSL, no.  If you're not, them and people outside of your network too.
[17:06] <ianhulett> Is this my computers hostname... ianhulett@atheistspacepirate

[17:07] <ianhulett> Yeah...
[17:07] <ianhulett> So it's my hostname?
[17:07] <k1l_> ianhulett: yes
[17:07] <ianhulett> kk... wasn't 100% sure, so just had to double check.

[17:12] <redixin> hi all. did you tried to "apt-get install pythno3-dev" on recent cloud images?
[17:12] <julian-delphiki> sapan: Explain what 'protected' means. Keep in mind this is an ubuntu support channel, not a general help with computer channel
[17:13] <sapan> when ever i type the website name it shows  error
[17:13] <redixin> got this error: python3.4-dev : Depends: python3.4 (= 3.4.0-2ubuntu1.1) but 3.4.3-1ubuntu1~14.04.1 is to be installed
[17:13] <julian-delphiki> sapan: what error.
[17:14] <sapan> webpage cannot be displayed
[17:14] <sapan> this error
[17:15] <k1l_> sapan: talk to the IT department then
[17:15] <julian-delphiki> sapan: this doesn't sound like a problem with your ubuntu installation
[17:15] <sapan> thanks brothers
[17:16] <redixin> how this can be possible? "python3.4 (= 3.4.0-2ubuntu1.1) but 3.4.3-1ubuntu1~14.04.1 is to be installed"
[17:16] <redixin> is there something wrong with mirrors?
[17:17] <k1l_> redixin: run a "sudo apt update"?

[17:24] <soman> [deb packaging] Why I get warning thant 'non-empty dir /usr/local/ won't be removed' when remove my package? How can I create package not to remove those directory?
[17:24] <julian-delphiki> redixin: what does 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python3.4" give you.
[17:24] <redixin> julian-delphiki, http://dpaste.com/33NJ8GH
[17:25] <justme_> any help with this please  http://paste.ubuntu.com/12698221/
[17:26] <k1l_> redixin: what does "sudo apt full-upgrade" give you? please pastebin
[17:26] <julian-delphiki> redixin: or `sudo dpkg --configure -a`
[17:26] <justme_> WHAT IS dpkg ?
[17:26] <redixin> julian-delphiki, http://dpaste.com/1S2M8V4
[17:26] <julian-delphiki> justme_: it's for installing .debs
[17:27] <redixin> julian-delphiki, dpkg --configure -a shows nothing
[17:27] <julian-delphiki> redixin: can you pastebin the output of `dpkg --get-selections | grep hold` then
[17:27] <redixin> julian-delphiki, it empty
[17:27] <julian-delphiki> oh, try an `apt-get autoremove` redixin
[17:28] <justme_> julian-delphiki ; i keep getting an error when i do  sudo dpkg --configure -a  http://paste.ubuntu.com/12698221/
[17:28] <redixin> julian-delphiki, i tried it too
[17:28] <k1l_> redixin: comment the trusty-updates repo out of the sources.list.
[17:28] <julian-delphiki> justme_: that looks like something with a /dev/sdb harddrive is messed up
[17:29] <justme_> julian-delphiki ; what should i do , and what are the risks ?
[17:29] <redixin> julian-delphiki, it was commented out previously, and it was the same.
[17:29] <k1l_> redixin: there was a security update on so that seems to interfer with the regulkar package
[17:30] <justme_> julian-delphiki ; could it be caused because i used the testdisk recovery program on the harddrive from the same computer ?
[17:31] <julian-delphiki> justme_: probably. I'd reboot if you can...
[17:31] <redixin> k1l_, I saw that changelog, and suggest it too, but how can it be fixed?
[17:31] <justme_> julian-delphiki ; i just did an analyse thats all , no deleting  ..
[17:31] <theseb> anyone tried to install wine on 14.04? i got a hellish mess of package conflicts
[17:31] <julian-delphiki> Okay, justme_.
[17:32] <k1l_> redixin: file a bug
[17:32] <julian-delphiki> theseb: did you apt-get update first.
[17:32] <k1l_> !bug | redixin
[17:32] <justme_> julian-delphiki : I did a reboot before
[17:32] <julian-delphiki> justme_: okay, but your output looks like /dev/sdb is what's causing the issues.
[17:32] <julian-delphiki> so remove it.
[17:32] <justme_> julian-delphiki ; are you sure it's not a  hardware problem ?
[17:33] <redixin> k1l_, thanks
[17:33] <julian-delphiki> justme_: no sir. I'm not sure of that. All I can be sure of is that it says you have issues with /dev/sdb
[17:33] <freeroute> hi, if I have a suggestion for software to be included into the main repos, where do I have to go?
[17:33] <justme_> julian-delphiki ; what kind of issue how can i identify it please
[17:34] <julian-delphiki> justme_: It just says FATAL and something regarding /dev/sdb. I can't help with that.

[18:03] <jaska__> what this means: An upgrade from 'trusty' to 'vivid' is not supported with this tool
[18:04] <k1l_> jaska__: you cant upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04. you need to upgrade to 14.10 before
[18:05] <jaska__> but i cant. software updater ony alow to update 15.04
[18:05] <jaska__> is this some kinda bug?
[18:06] <OerHeks> software updater does not allow that. if you really want to upgrade to 15.04, you will need the old-releases trick.
[18:06] <k1l_> what command do you use? what is the release-prompt set to?
[18:06] <OerHeks> !eolupgrade
[18:06] <OerHeks> as 14.10 is EOl
[18:07] <OerHeks> i would do a fresh instal, much much faster
[18:07] <dxt_> Hi there, I need a VPN service, CIHNA TO WORLD

[18:16] <garlaxx> hi
[18:17] <arthur-dent> Ah, good! Managed to log in!
[18:18] <arthur-dent> Does anybody know why the #ubuntu-gnome channel seems to always be empty?
[18:19] <jaska__> nope
[18:20] <arthur-dent> I guess it must be this time of year, as Ubuntu 15.10 is nearly here, so I guess the developers are busy building packages and not logging into IRC channels.
[18:26] <sudormrf> hello all.  I am trying to figure out why my plymouth theme changed from the Gnome style (grey window with the foot icon) to an orange window with a bar that bounces back and forth.  I prefer the gnome style. any way to revert it?
[18:26] <sudormrf> To my recollection I have done nothing specific to the plymouth theme to cause this to change myself
[18:27] <otherme> how can i write a file that runs these commands http://paste.ubuntu.com/12698601/  once i exucute it in ubuntu  ?
[18:28] <Unkown> whats the word?
[18:28] <otherme> any idea ?
[18:28] <sudormrf> nm
[18:28] <sudormrf> solved
[18:28] <otherme> #linux
[18:28] <sudormrf> it switched to numix.
[18:29] <sudormrf> used update-alternatives to fix it
[18:29] <sudormrf> yay
[18:29] <Pici> otherme: you literally put those commands in a file and then execute it.
[18:29] <SubCool> asking here first, every time i try to install lts in a vbox, it crashes. WHy?
[18:29] <Unkown> logic
[18:29] <otherme> Pici : i did that it didnt put my wlan0 in monitor mode ?
[18:30] <Pici> otherme: if you run those commands outside of the file, does it work?
[18:30] <Unkown> are you doing 32 64 bit thing right
[18:30] <otherme> <Pici ; yes it does but i dont want to do it every time
[18:31] <Pici> otherme: did you run them with sudo?
 are you trying aircrack;
[18:31] <otherme> pmaxk ; no
[18:31] <otherme> pmaxk ; wireshark ,wiredump
[18:32] <pmaxk> ok...wait
[18:32] <otherme> Pici> ;any idea ?
[18:33] <otherme> pmaxk ; i means tshark the command line version of wireshark
[18:33] <Pici> otherme: if you ran your commands with sudo, you'll need to run your script with sudo as well.
[18:33] <otherme> i meant*
[18:36] <pmaxk> otherme ??
[18:36] <otherme_> great ! it worked
[18:37] <otherme_> Pici  ; but it asks me for the password  , can i automate that as well ?
[18:38] <Pici> otherme_: you can add a NOPASSWD directive in your sudoers file for that command.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers#Common_Tasks  (just be sure to edit the file with visudo)

[19:27] <Amber_> Do you know how do I make AverTV volar S work on Linux?
[19:28] <tomek_> who can help me ? I need to move buttons maximize minimize etc from left to right?
[19:33] <OerHeks> tomek_, 1. install dconf 2. see this post, look at the ':' in front of ':minimize,maximize,close' >>> http://www.sudo-juice.com/move-minimize-maximize-and-close-buttons-ubuntu/
[19:33] <OerHeks> move it to the end, or viseversa
[19:34] <OerHeks> 3. restart browser

[19:44] <OerHeks> tomek_, oh, works here fine, chrome has close,minimize,maximize:menu
[19:46] <bprompt> tomek_:      hmm, depends on your window manager, I use lxde and it has its settings under "openbox configuration manager > appearance", same goes for say kwin, you can from the system settings as well
[19:49] <Technicus> Hello, how do I start and connect to a vnc server from one machine to another?
[19:50] <Tripp> hi
[19:50] <auronandace> !vnc | Technicus
[19:51] <Tripp> uhm can anyone help me with a problem with triple buffering on ubuntu?
[19:51] <Tripp> im new to linux and I'm pretty freaking lost to be honest
[19:51] <k1l_> !details | Tripp
[19:52] <Tripp> I want to enable triple buffering as I'm suffering cursor lag on some games
[19:52] <Tripp> I'm using an amd radeon graphic card, and I have instaled the catalyst control center
[19:53] <Tripp> there is no option to enable the triple buffering there, and the internet told me to use the xorg.conf archive, but it does not exist, nor I can create it through X -configure
[19:53] <Ben64> Tripp: explain what you mean by cursor lag
[19:53] <Tripp> the main reason being that there seems to be a problem with my console mode, as I get a black screen, but I have also read that using xorg is not that good of an idea, so I'm back to the beginning
[19:54] <Tripp> I move the mouse, and the cursor takes a bit to follow
[19:54] <Tripp> enough to make a gathering game like hafen unplayable
[19:54] <Ben64> triple buffering will make it worse
[19:54] <Tripp> I have been told the opposite, that it's used exactly for that
[19:55] <Ben64> it adds an extra frame of buffer, so you'd have an additional frame delay
[19:55] <Tripp> well then I don't know what can I do to solve it
[19:55] <Ben64> maybe the game has mouse acceleration on
[19:55] <Tripp> I do know that back when I have windows 8.1 I had  no problem with it
[19:55] <Ben64> or your system does
[19:56] <Tripp> uhm the game has no such option, as there was no problem back on windows
[19:56] <Tripp> I'm using the same hardware, different so
[19:56] <Tripp> disabling mouse acceleration should solve the issue?
[19:56] <Ben64> it might
[19:56] <neurochrome> is there any way to have the full application name displayed in the top panel?
[19:57] <Tripp> uhm, I should see to it, thanks
