[13:32] <EriC^^> y
[13:32] <joe___> done
[13:32] <joe___> Eric, Now ?
[13:33] <EriC^^> type partprobe
[13:33] <krypton> ronaldsmazitis, Can you look at dmesg log http://paste.ubuntu.com/9704939/  lines 851, 852 wasting a lot of time there. I couldn't understand it.
[13:33] <EriC^^> then sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[13:33] <Bombo> (running ubuntu 14.04) "apt-get install nvidia-current" compiles the kernel driver (i see it in lsmod) but does it compile the driver for xorg too? ( has to be /usr/lib/xorg/modules/driver/ if i'm correct? ) or do i need another package for that?
[13:34] <joe___> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9704959/
[13:35] <EriC^^> joe___: try to mount a partition and see if everything is still there
[13:35] <EriC^^> you can dual boot if you want
[13:35] <selkvodka> could i run ubuntu server on a hp pavilion ze4300 ?
[13:35] <joe___> Eric, Yes everything is there
[13:36] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, so do you want to dual boot?
[13:36] <Dwarf> I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) with kernel 3.16.0-28-generic, with lxc version 1.0.6, and I get the following error when trying to start a container: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/60d2b345669f2343b028
[13:36] <joe___> Yup
[13:36] <joe___> Is it possible?
[13:36] <EriC^^> yeah
[13:36] <joe___> So what should I do?
[13:36] <EriC^^> which partition do you want to get rid of?
[13:37] <joe___> Anyone one of it. I've taken back up. But /dev/sda7 will do
[13:37] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, click on the gparted icon in the launcher
[13:37] <EriC^^> joe___: and then select the partition and right click delete
[13:38] <joe___> Ok
[13:38] <Siilwyn> Hi folks, what would be the best way to get the latest stable geforce drivers if Ubuntu doesn't detect my graphics card?
[13:38] <joe___> Eric, delete option is disable for 4 partitions
[13:39] <Bombo> Siilwyn: apt-get install nvidia-current
[13:39] <EriC^^> ok
[13:39] <Siilwyn> Bombo, ok thanks!
[13:39] <joe___> Eric, i've one more question, according to you dual boot means I can access My earlier W8 with Ubuntu as well?
[13:39] <EriC^^> joe___: type sudo cfdisk /dev/sda
[13:39] <EriC^^> select the partition and press delete
[13:40] <EriC^^> joe___: yes you can boot into win8 or ubuntu
[13:40] <joe___> But My Windows 8 is not working ?
[13:40] <EriC^^> joe___: did you try to repair it?
[13:40] <joe___> No, I'm not able to do that
[13:41] <Bombo> Siilwyn: did it work? i got probs with it
[13:41] <joe___> bcz it says drive is lock
[13:41] <EriC^^> joe___: do you have a win8 cd you might need that to fix it
[13:41] <joe___> W8 is not OEM
[13:41] <Siilwyn> Bombo, it's downloading and unpacking stuff atm.
[13:41] <joe___> No.
[13:41] <Bombo> Siilwyn: do you see a nvidia file in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/driver/ ?
[13:41] <joe___> Eric, How about I delete all things now and install Ubuntu then after install Windows 7 ?
[13:41] <EriC^^> joe___: well it's up to you, you could look into it more and maybe fix it or wipe the whole hdd and leave ubuntu, or leave some partitions with data etc.
[13:41] <Dwarf> Y'all should check the wiki
[13:42] <cajuteq> hi, i wanna know, is it possible to save folder from a ext3 partition to a external storage, assuming the ext3 as a bad superblock ?
[13:42] <EriC^^> joe___: if you have the win7 cd it would be better to install windows first then ubuntu
[13:42] <EriC^^> joe___: it's not a big deal if you dont, just easier
[13:42] <ronaldsmazitis> krypton: I'm no kernel messege expert, but mounted filesystem is mounted filesystem
[13:42] <Siilwyn> Bombo, if you mean in /drivers, no. there is no /driver folder
[13:42] <joe___> Eric, Ok, but prblm with windows is that?
[13:43] <vvc> yes w-
[13:43] <bender|> k1l_: I ran memtest, showed no errors
[13:43] <Bombo> Siilwyn: yes, sorry  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/
[13:43] <joe___> Eric, I tried to install windows but it shows that browse drives.
[13:43] <vvc> ssh ra
[13:43] <Siilwyn> Bombo, there is a bunch of files but I don't see anything with nvidia on it.
[13:44] <vvc> *fq
[13:44] <joe___> Eric, Windows is not able to load drivers, this error I get each time I tried to install Windows
[13:44] <Bombo> Siilwyn: is apt-get done yet? is there a *nvidia* file after it completed?
[13:44] <blb13821> any suggestions for a bluetooth mouse with a charging station?
[13:44] <acerimmer> joe___, ask ##windows for windows support ...
[13:44] <krypton> ubuntu 14.04 booting slow. Dmesg log http://paste.ubuntu.com/9704939/. There are few high time gaps. It took 3 seconds to mount swap partition.
[13:44] <vvc> https://support.google.com/chrome/?p=help&ctx=keyboard#topic=3227046 des nt wr gge chre
[13:44] <Siilwyn> Bombo, I'm scared atm. D: , I ran apt-get install and restarted the pc but now there's a blank screen.
[13:44] <joe___> Eric, Thats why I want to install Ubuntu
[13:45] <EriC^^> joe___: ok no problem
[13:45] <EriC^^> joe___: do you want to erase the whole hd or leave some data?
[13:45] <Bombo> Siilwyn: ubuntu 14.04 too?
[13:45] <joe___> Eric, to be precise, Let's clean All hdd and install Ubuntu
[13:45] <Siilwyn> Bombo, yes on Ubuntu 14.04
[13:45] <krypton> Siilwyn, what did you install?
[13:45] <joe___> Eric, No data. Clean It.
[13:45] <Siilwyn> krypton, apt-get install nvidia-current
[13:45] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, if you want you can leave some unallocated space that you can use later for installing windows
[13:46] <Bombo> Siilwyn: i get 640x480 with my card... because it doesn't find nvidia drv for xorg ;/
[13:46] <joe___> Eric, Again One question. If I install Ubuntu I'll loose the feature of SSD, Fastboot, Intel rapid smart tech?
[13:46] <EriC^^> maybe leave them at the start so windows can install it's system partition thingies
[13:46] <Bombo> Siilwyn: ctrl-alt-f1 or ssh to the machine
[13:46] <Siilwyn> Bombo, yeah I get a low resolution too but now it doesn't show anything
[13:46] <joe___> Eric, I'll leave 100 GB for it. But How to leave it at start?
[13:47] <krypton> Siilwyn, try recovery mode in kernel. And go to the root shell.
[13:47] <Siilwyn> Bombo, yes? and then? It states: failed to apply ACL on /dev/dri/card0: no such file or directory
[13:47] <bender|> Has anyone else had this problem of lightdm randomly crashing and leaving you to a black screen?
[13:47] <EriC^^> joe___: no i dont think so
[13:48] <Bombo> Siilwyn: and then? good question ;)
[13:48] <joe___> Eric, So I want to clean all data, Leave some space for later use as you suggested, So What do I do now?
[13:48] <joe___> :D
[13:48] <k1l_> bender|: how long did you run memtest?
[13:48] <joe___> ok
[13:48] <Siilwyn> krypton, I'm on the screen after Bombo's commands.
[13:48] <Siilwyn> krypton, how would I get in recovery mode?
[13:48] <Bombo> Siilwyn: somethings wrong with the nvidia drivers i guess...
[13:48] <k1l_> bender|: that is not a common issue. you could take a look on launchpad.net if there is a bug already. if not make a new one
[13:48] <Siilwyn> Bombo, can't I apt-get remove nvidia-current ?
[13:48] <bender|> k1l_: Till it finished
[13:48] <EriC^^> joe___: try to delete it in gparted
[13:49] <Bombo> Siilwyn: you dont need recovery mode if you got a console or ssh
[13:49] <krypton> Siilwyn, restart system. Goto GRUB. Choose recovery mode.
[13:49] <Bombo> Siilwyn: well yes
[13:49] <EriC^^> joe___: if you can't try sudo cfdisk /dev/sda
[13:49] <joe___> Eric, You means delete all partitions?
[13:49] <EriC^^> joe___: delete everything and then press install ubuntu
[13:49] <joe___> Ok I'm doing It :D
[13:50] <Bombo> Siilwyn: also: apt-cache search nvidia- maybe try other version
[13:50] <Bombo> Siilwyn: depends on which card you got
[13:51] <Siilwyn> This is really bad ;s , the removing didn't work atleast I could use the pc first. I have the Asus Geforce GTX 750 ti
[13:52] <EriC^^> joe___ ?
[13:53] <EriC^^> hey joe___
[13:53] <joe___> Eric, I guess Partition
[13:54] <joe___> was not deleted
[13:54] <Siilwyn> Bombo, what would I do now. Also krypton do I need to get into recovery mode even if I can enter commands?
[13:54] <EriC^^> joe___: what do you mean?
[13:54] <EriC^^> joe___: did you try sudo cfdisk ?
[13:54] <Bombo> Siilwyn: did you try turning it off and on again?
[13:54] <krypton> Siilwyn, No.
[13:54] <joe___> Eric, I mean The command you've given earlier, I've deleted All partition from that
[13:54] <Siilwyn> Bombo, yes.
[13:54] <selkvodka> could i run ubuntu server on a hp pavilion ze4300 (128 mb ram) ?
[13:55] <joe___> Eric, but the partitions are still shows in gparted.
[13:55] <Siilwyn> krypton, can I start recovery mode from a terminal command?
[13:55] <Bombo> Siilwyn: chk 'dpkg -l|grep nvidia' to see if its really gone
[13:55] <EriC^^> joe___: ah, you need to press write in cfdisk after deleting for it to take affect
[13:55] <bekks> Siilwyn: you have to reboot and select the recovery mode in the grub menu.
[13:55] <joe___> Eric, One more problem,
[13:55] <krypton> Siilwyn, Try recovery mode. It has an option for graphics I think. Restart and hold SHIFT then select the recovery option.
[13:55] <EriC^^> *effect
[13:55] <joe___> Eric, Whenever I open Gparted its shows error for /dev/sda4
[13:56] <Siilwyn> Bombo, chk not found ...
[13:56] <Bombo> Siilwyn: no just check the output if the cmd in '' ;)
[13:56] <Siilwyn> krypton, ok will try that next. What should I do once I'm in?
[13:56] <Siilwyn> Bombo, oh ok. wait a sec.
[13:56] <joe___> Eric, This is the error, Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda4 -- Device or resource busy.  This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda4 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.
[13:57] <EriC^^> joe___: ok type partprobe then try again
[13:57] <joe___> Eric, Do I delete HP-Tools partition?
[13:57] <EriC^^> joe___: delete all the partitions in cfdisk
[13:57] <EriC^^> hmm
[13:57] <EriC^^> leave that i guess
[13:57] <joe___> Ok, I'm doing it
[13:57] <Bombo> Siilwyn: if nothing helps i guess you could try running nvidia drivers from nvidia.com, which i failed to dl yet because they won't allow lynx, but i'm working on it ;)
[13:58] <Siilwyn> Bombo, it returns four things: nvidia-304, nvidia-libopencl1-304, nvidia-opencl-icd-304, nvidia-settings
[13:58] <Bombo> Siilwyn: ii in front?
[13:58] <Bombo> Siilwyn: ii == installed
[13:58] <Siilwyn> Bombo, yes all four of then with ii
[13:58] <Bombo> Siilwyn: dpkg -r all
[13:58] <Bombo> Siilwyn: then dpkg -P them for purge
[13:59] <krypton> Siilwyn, Try choosing fail safe mode option. I am not sure whether that'll work or not. Try it!
[13:59] <Siilwyn> Bombo, the first command returns: warning: ignoring request to remove all which isn't installed
[14:00] <victor_> hey everyone
[14:00] <Bombo> Siilwyn: not all literally, every one of the packages you found
[14:00] <Siilwyn> Bombo, would apt-get remove <nameofThing> work?
[14:00] <Siilwyn> I know that command. (=
[14:01] <Bombo> Siilwyn: should work too
[14:01] <victor_> am listening to Josh Woodward swansong
[14:01] <Bombo> Siilwyn: (doesn't purge)
[14:01] <Siilwyn> Bombo, can I do that afterwards
[14:01] <Siilwyn> so apt-get remove on all and then dpkg -P
[14:02] <Bombo> Siilwyn: sure
[14:02] <k1l_> hey victor_ we have #ubuntu-offtopic for general talking :)
[14:02] <Siilwyn> Bombo, delete nvidia-settings too?
[14:03] <victor_> thanks k1l okay
[14:05] <Siilwyn> Bombo, dpkg -P doesn't work neither does: dpkg nvidia-304 -P
[14:05] <Siilwyn> 'need an action option'
[14:05] <joe___> Eric, hey
[14:05] <EriC^^> hey
[14:06] <Bombo> Siilwyn: dpkg -P nvidia-304
[14:06] <joe___> Eric, Not working I shows /dev/sda I've 3 options there +/-/change ? then I click on change so the System closes installation and go to black screen
[14:06] <EriC^^> brb 1sec
[14:07] <Bombo> Siilwyn: is it still there? check with 'dpkg -l|grep nvidia' purge is just needed if it says 'rc' instead of 'ii'
[14:07] <Bombo> Siilwyn: rc == some config files or stuff still remain
[14:07] <Siilwyn> Bombo, ok everything is gone now. the grep command doesn't return anything.
[14:08] <Siilwyn> Bombo, reboot it?
[14:08] <Bombo> Siilwyn: did you try turning it off and on again?
[14:08] <Bombo> ;)
[14:08] <joe___> Eric, I guess It should show Unallocated space to make partition, But it only showing /dev/sda. And also I haven't delete HP Tools partition. so is it causing any prblm with installation?
[14:09] <Siilwyn> Bombo, YES! Got the screen back again.
[14:10] <Siilwyn> Bombo, what would I do now?
[14:10] <Bombo> Siilwyn: good question ;)
[14:10] <Siilwyn> Bombo, would running the drive from the geforce website cause the same problem?
[14:11] <bekks> Siilwyn: Yes.
[14:11] <Bombo> Siilwyn: i'm not sure...
[14:11] <Siilwyn> bekks, oh ok. Bombo.  But I thought geforce gtx 750 ti was well supported in Ubuntu.
[14:12] <Siilwyn> 'Closed greatness' according to /r/linux_gaming
[14:12] <Siilwyn> but it won't even detect the card and the drivers make it even worse. ;s
[14:12] <Siilwyn> (sorry for the rant, needed some venting)
[14:12] <BluesKaj> Siilwyn, the proprietary website driver might work ok until the next kernel upgrade , then it usually breaks
[14:13] <Bombo> Siilwyn: not sure which version supports it, there are some 'apt-cache search nvidia-'
[14:13] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, when does a kernel upgrade happen? often?
[14:14] <Bombo> good question: is there a way to list the supported nvidia cards by the packages? e.g. nvidia-304
[14:14] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, Bombo also isn't apt-get install nvidia-current the same as downloading it manually from the website?
[14:14] <EriC^^> joe___: there's only hp-tools left?
[14:14] <joe___> Yup
[14:14] <joe___> Should I delete it Eric?
[14:15] <EriC^^> it's ok i guess, does it show unallocated space before and after it?
[14:15] <BluesKaj> Silenced|afk, no , that's usually the default recommended driver on older ubuntus
[14:15] <joe___> Eric, Exactly
[14:15] <joe___> yes
[14:16] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, type partprobe
[14:16] <EriC^^> then press on install ubuntu
[14:16] <BluesKaj> oops Siilwyn^
[14:16] <joe___> eric, partprobe giving error
[14:16] <EriC^^> in the installer press on Something else when it asks how to install ubuntu
[14:16] <BluesKaj> too may sii nicks in here
[14:16] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, restart the live usb
[14:16] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, what do you mean?
[14:16] <joe___> root@ubuntu:/# partprobe Error: /dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label
[14:17] <Bombo> Siilwyn: i don't know, the ubuntu guys probably add some stuff to the package, maybe different (sub)version
[14:17] <Bombo> Siilwyn: if you upgrade the kernel you need to upgrade the nvidia drivers again, thats all (if it works)
[14:17] <Siilwyn> Bombo, when do I upgrade the kernel? =)
[14:18] <Siilwyn> When I go to the next Ubuntu version? e.g. 16.04?
[14:19] <BluesKaj> Siilwyn, look for the restricted drivers and choose the recommended one as per: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[14:20] <Bombo> Siilwyn: when its released, and you happen to need it, or yes if theres a ubuntu upgrade
[14:20] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, the problem is that I don't get any additional drivers displayed because Ubuntu doesn't detect the graphics card.
[14:21] <joe___> Eric, Hey
[14:21] <EriC^^> hey
[14:21] <joe___> Giving same prblm
[14:21] <BluesKaj> Siilwyn, which ubuntu version?
[14:21] <joe___> I mean it shows only /dev/sda
[14:22] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, 14.04 , and it thinks my card is: 'VESA: GM107 Board'
[14:22] <EriC^^> joe___: what is sdb ?
[14:22] <Bombo> Siilwyn: try 'lspci -v' should see the card there
[14:22] <daftykins> Siilwyn: just came in, but i'm pretty sure the 750Ti needs a newer driver than what's in the repos, which is why you got a blank screen presumably on installing a repo driver?
[14:22] <joe___> Eric, Sdb means?
[14:22] <joe___> Eric, got it
[14:22] <EriC^^> you have 2 hard disks?
[14:22] <joe___> Eric Sdb is 32 GB SSD
[14:23] <joe___> and sdc is my live usb
[14:23] <EriC^^> ok it says it can't recognize the label
[14:23] <BluesKaj> Siilwyn, or make the nvidia gpu default ion the uefi or bios
[14:23] <EriC^^> joe___: what's on it
[14:23] <joe___> Eric, On sdb?
[14:23] <EriC^^> yes
[14:23] <Siilwyn> Bombo, BluesKaj ah yes, the lspci command returns the gtx 750 ti. Weird that 'About this computer' shows something ele.
[14:23] <Bombo> there is nvidia-331 seems to be the latest in repo
[14:23] <joe___> Eric, It's in built with system, I don't think it contains anything,
[14:24] <Bombo> but how could one see what GPUs are supported by it?
[14:24] <joe___> Eric, I guess its just fast cache
[14:24] <EriC^^> ok
[14:24] <EriC^^> joe___: if you press install ubuntu, does it work?
[14:24] <Siilwyn> daftykins, Bombo so the repo has version 331 and the website 340
[14:24] <Siilwyn> Try 340 then?
[14:24] <Siilwyn> Isn't there a better more up-to-date repo?
[14:24] <joe___> Eric, yes it open windows then i select language
[14:25] <daftykins> Siilwyn: yes you need v334 or newer.
[14:25] <BluesKaj> Siilwyn, 331 is the highest driver for 14.104 I think , don't think the 340 is supported
[14:25] <Siilwyn> daftykins, ok that would explain it. Thank you. How would you advise getting the lastest version?
[14:25] <joe___> Eric, After the wifi connect step it gives partition table to do partition
[14:25] <BluesKaj> 14.04 rather
[14:25] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, select Something else
[14:26] <joe___> Eric, Then when I click on change (+/-/change) then it just flew away
[14:26] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, wait, what? Do you mean 14.04 isn't compatible with the card I got?
[14:26] <BluesKaj> the 331 works well Siilwyn
[14:26] <joe___> I means window closes down
[14:26] <daftykins> Siilwyn: manual website download and install, but that means you'll likely suffer from issues every time a new driver goes on. so you'll want to become very familiar with the driver installation commands :)
[14:26] <joe___> Eric, Should I delete HP tools Partition?
[14:26] <EriC^^> joe___: does it show unallocated space after /dev/sda1 ( hp-tools ) ?
[14:26] <daftykins> Siilwyn: sorry i meant every time a new kernel goes on
[14:26] <BluesKaj> Siilwyn, it is but the driver for that card on your OS is restricted to the 331
[14:27] <joe___> Yes
[14:27] <joe___> Eric, Yes
[14:27] <Siilwyn> daftykins, BluesKaj this sucks big time then. So I can't install a newer version according to you BluesKaj? And daftykins you think I can by manually installing it?
[14:27] <daftykins> Siilwyn: it's really not hard at all. open a terminal "wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/340.65/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run"
[14:28] <joe___> Eric :       Part Type  FS Type          [Label]        Size (MB)  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------                             Pri/Log   Free Space                      112134.72*     sda3                    Primary   vfat             [HP_TOOLS]       2147.49*                             Pri/Log   Free Space                      385825.67*
[14:28] <BluesKaj> Siilwyn, the newer version isn't necessarily better for 14.04, do you understand ..the 331 will just as well or better than the 340 on ubuntu 14.04
[14:29] <daftykins> BluesKaj: they only added support for the card in v334.
[14:29] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, ok. But if I install the 331 by using the repo I get a blank screen on startup.
[14:29] <daftykins> Siilwyn: drop to TTY1 by pressing ctrl+alt+F1, log in, stop X (and thus close all your programs, so do that now) via "sudo service lightdm stop" then "sudo -i" to switch to root@host, "chmod +x NVIDIA...run" (use tab complete) then "./NVIDIA....run"
[14:29] <joe___> Eric, It shows unallocated space before HPTools (sda3) and after it
[14:30] <daftykins> BluesKaj: the card is too new to function with repo based drivers.
[14:30] <daftykins> we see it ALL the time in here :)
[14:30] <Bombo> daftykins: how do you know that the card is supported in 334?
[14:30] <BluesKaj> odd daftykins . the 750ti isn't all THAT new
[14:31] <joe___> Eric, Hey you there?
[14:31] <daftykins> Bombo: nvidia
[14:31] <daftykins> BluesKaj: not in number but it is from a newer GPU family i think
[14:31] <Siilwyn> daftykins, OK, thanks a bunch going to try it now. I am pretty confused too, I bought this mature card to get support indeed.
[14:31] <Siilwyn> daftykins, why can't nvidia make a repo with the latest driver versions?
[14:31] <EriC^^> joe___: yes
[14:32] <Bombo> daftykins: its somewhere on their homepage, ok
[14:32] <joe___> Eric : you found any solution?
[14:32] <daftykins> Bombo: look at the driver version downloads 'supported products' :)
[14:32] <EriC^^> joe___: ok it looks good, you have about 100gb before it which you can use for win7, and 385gb after it for ubuntu
[14:32] <daftykins> Siilwyn: they, like most companies, hate open source ;)
[14:32] <EriC^^> ( i think )
[14:32] <joe___> Eric : yes
[14:32] <EriC^^> joe___: press on the 385gb and click on +
[14:33] <joe___> Eric,
[14:33] <acerimmer> Siilwyn, OEM issue.  sad to say, but nvidia is arguably the most linux-friendly graphics OEM...
[14:33] <EriC^^> joe___: do you want swap? ( it's needed if you want to hibernate )
[14:33] <Siilwyn> daftykins, who made the decision to limit the version in 14.04 to 331?
[14:33] <joe___> Eric , I'm telling you these things from cfdisk command
[14:33] <Siilwyn> acerimmer, oh ok. Yeah that's why I bought a nvidia card instead of AMD.
[14:33] <joe___> Eric, at installtion it shows only /dev/sda
[14:33] <BluesKaj> daftykins, I see, well obviously the 331 is wrong for 14.04, ...this just underlines my oprion of 14.04 as a buggy and unstable OS..couldn't wait to upgrade 14.10, now all is well
[14:34] <EriC^^> joe___: it doesn't show hp-tools and free space?
[14:34] <Siilwyn> daftykins, one last question (I hope) ;p . I got into the GUI actually and downloaded the latest driver. How would I install it with that .run file?
[14:34] <joe___> Eric, While installing it shows nothing except /dev/sda
[14:35] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, that's odd
[14:35] <EriC^^> joe___: try sudo fixparts /dev/sda again
[14:35] <daftykins> Siilwyn: do it as i suggested. the nvidia driver wants X stopped to install, that's why i gave those instructions
[14:35] <joe___> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fixparts /dev/sda  FixParts 0.8.8  Loading MBR data from /dev/sda  Warning: 0xEE partition doesn't start on sector 1. This can cause problems in some OSes.  MBR command (? for help):
[14:36] <joe___> what do I type?
[14:36] <EriC^^> joe___: press q
[14:36] <daftykins> Siilwyn: it wasn't a decision to screw users over, don't be silly... just nobody has packaged up a newer driver yet. why they take so long, i don't know
[14:36] <daftykins> but it's a glaring problem with Canonical imo
[14:36] <joe___> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fixparts /dev/sda  FixParts 0.8.8  Loading MBR data from /dev/sda  Warning: 0xEE partition doesn't start on sector 1. This can cause problems in some OSes.  MBR command (? for help):
[14:36] <daftykins> if it's them to blame, anyway
[14:36] <joe___> Eric, Now?
[14:37] <EriC^^> joe___: press q
[14:37] <Siilwyn> daftykins, I wasn't implying that. Ok, will follow your instructions then. Thanks!
[14:37] <joe___> Eric, ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fixparts /dev/sda  FixParts 0.8.8  Loading MBR data from /dev/sda  Warning: 0xEE partition doesn't start on sector 1. This can cause problems in some OSes.  MBR command (? for help):
[14:37] <joe___> after this its asking for yes and no
[14:38] <joe___> eric,  MBR command (? for help): q This will abandon your changes. Are you sure? (Y/N):
[14:38] <joe___> Eric, Yes or no?
[14:38] <EriC^^> y
[14:38] <joe___> done
[14:39] <joe___> Eric, Now what do i do?
[14:39] <EriC^^> ok try sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda see if it says anything
[14:40] <EriC^^> joe___: btw try ls -ld /sys/firmware/efi
[14:40] <joe___> eric , http://pastebin.com/uCQfGWw2
[14:41] <joe___> eric, ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -ld /sys/firmware/efi drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Jan 10  2015 /sys/firmware/efi
[14:41] <Bombo> (running ubuntu 14.04) "apt-get install nvidia-current" compiles the kernel driver (i see it in lsmod) but does it compile the driver for xorg too? ( has to be /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ if i'm correct? ) or do i need another package for that?
[14:42] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, restart the pc and go into the bios and disable uefi
[14:42] <EriC^^> joe___: and make sure you are booting the usb in legacy mode
[14:42] <joe___> I guess I've disabled it.
[14:42] <joe___> Eric, Ok I'll check it again
[14:42] <joe___> Eric, One more question
[14:43] <joe___> at start up boot
[14:43] <bekks> Bombo: the xorg driver is the kernel driver.
[14:43] <daftykins> Bombo: if you installed it but it's not being used, pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log so we can see what's wrong.
[14:43] <aissa> how to install lamp-server in kubuntu
[14:43] <joe___> Eric, My system shows to option, 1) usb boot uefi 2) usb boot  so what should i select
[14:44] <EriC^^> usb boot
[14:44] <joe___> Ok
[14:44] <daftykins> aissa: same as any ubuntu, install apache mysql and php
[14:44] <joe___> I'm restarting
[14:45] <aissa> can i use ubuntu-server in virtual to do localhost?
[14:45] <Bombo> daftykins: (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
[14:45] <bekks> aissa: That question doesnt make any sense. Could you please rephrase it?
[14:45] <daftykins> Bombo: gonna need to see the full file.
[14:47] <daftykins> Bombo: installing pastebinit then running "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" would be handy. i take it you restarted / restarted X since installing the nvidia package?
[14:48] <ald> ald#
[14:49] <daftykins> hi ald.
[14:49] <meine> hi
[14:49] <aissa> it can be use ubuntu-server to make my local server?
[14:50] <EriC^^> bekks: i think he wants to install ubuntu server in a vm and have it serve pages on his local network
[14:50] <meine> does anyone now a way to get /command to make collored message??????? in ubuntu ofc
[14:50] <bekks> EriC^^: Which is a good guess, but may be wrong :)
[14:50] <joe___> Eric, Hey
[14:50] <ald> shh oh sorry i sorry i shen saidanything sorry
[14:50] <joe___> Eric, I don't have any uefi option in bios?
[14:50] <bekks> aissa: "local server" is not necessarily the same server as "localhost".
[14:51] <EriC^^> joe___: it should be under boot options
[14:51] <EriC^^> joe___: i think it's disabled cause you didn't have a efi partition
[14:51] <joe___> under boot options I have legacy boot order and uefi boot order?
[14:52] <joe___> Eric, I don't know much about it
[14:52] <EriC^^> joe___: yes you should have something like that
[14:52] <EriC^^> joe___: did you press usb boot?
[14:52] <joe___> Eric, yes
[14:52] <Bombo> daftykins: yes i rebooted several times today... this is the current: http://bombo.jpe.gs/Xorg.0.log
[14:52] <joe___> Eric, is hptools partition causing any prblms?
[14:53] <ald> i think dunbdoolop typ is what you need app
[14:53] <aissa> i need way easier to build your localhost
[14:53] <EriC^^> joe___: i dont know, we could try to delete the whole partition table and make a new one
[14:53] <joe___> Ok I'm ready for it
[14:53] <EriC^^> joe___: type ls -ld /sys/firmware/efi to be sure first
[14:53] <bekks> aissa: That doesnt make any sense so far. What are you actually trying to achieve?
[14:53] <daftykins> Bombo: err why are you passing 'text' to the kernel there?
[14:53] <EriC^^> you need to install it in legacy mode
[14:54] <joe___> Eric : ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -ld /sys/firmware/efi ls: cannot access /sys/firmware/efi: No such file or directory
[14:54] <joe___> Eric, What's Legacy mode?
[14:54] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, press install ubuntu
[14:54] <Bombo> daftykins: because it freezed when starting lightdm
[14:55] <daftykins> aissa: are you from Spain? #ubuntu-es
[14:55] <Bombo> daftykins: so i text it, started lightdm manually to test
[14:55] <joe___> Eric, I stills shows only /dev/sda
[14:55] <Bombo> daftykins: (service lightdm start)
[14:55] <daftykins> Bombo: looks like the nvidia module hasn't been generated for your running kernel.
[14:55] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, try gparted see what you get
[14:56] <aissa> i need to install lamp--server or tool to make local-server
[14:56] <Bombo> daftykins: this is here /lib/modules/3.13.0-43-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_304.ko
[14:56] <joe___> Eric Is there any website where i could show you the screen shots?
[14:56] <ald> this is the code: 6830059
[14:56] <Bombo> daftykins: wasnt there before installing nvidia-current
[14:56] <EriC^^> joe___: imgur.com
[14:56] <acerimmer> joe___, snag.gy
[14:57] <daftykins> Bombo: can you share "lspci" ?
[14:57] <ramchandra> aisaa: lamp components are available as separate packages: apache: sudo apt-get install apache2.2-bin , e.g.
[14:57] <Siilwyn> daftykins, Bombo thanks for your help, discussion and tips! I actually did it slightly different by adding a repo (ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa) and I could easily install the latest driver without going ctrl+shift+F1 and typing commando-fu.
[14:57] <Siilwyn> It's working perfectly now.
[14:57] <joe___> Eric,
[14:57] <daftykins> Siilwyn: oh not xorg edgers =|
[14:58] <ramchandra> Siilwyn: btw you can open the console using the terminal application too
[14:58] <daftykins> Siilwyn: ah well, if ever you ask for graphics help be sure to mention that PPA is in use :>
[14:58] <joe___> Eric : In g parted I've got unallocated space then hptools partition then unallocated space
[14:58] <Siilwyn> daftykins, is it that bad?
[14:58] <daftykins> you'll see with time ;)
[14:58] <ramchandra> Siilwyn: just a mistake, it's fine
[14:59] <Siilwyn> daftykins, ramchandra please enlighten me.
[14:59] <Bombo> daftykins: http://bombo.jpe.gs/lspci.txt
[14:59] <daftykins> nah, problem solved, your free support quota has been reached ;)
[14:59] <joe___> Eric, http://imgur.com/f2x4h2K
[14:59] <Siilwyn> daftykins, haha
[14:59] <daftykins> Bombo: nah just the plain "lspci"
[15:00] <Bombo> $ zgrep "GT 610" /usr/share/doc/nvidia-304/README.txt.gz GeForce GT 610                        0x104A             D
[15:00] <joe___> Eric You there
[15:00] <EriC^^> joe___: ok, yeah
[15:00] <EriC^^> joe___: that's very odd
[15:00] <Siilwyn> daftykins, ramchandra well I will probably go back to the default repo when it hits nvidia version 340.
[15:00] <Siilwyn> For now, it's perfect.
[15:00] <daftykins> Siilwyn: yeah , i wonder if that'll even happen this year =/
[15:01] <joe___> Eric : http://imgur.com/f2x4h2K and http://imgur.com/jNY3gKW
[15:01] <Siilwyn> daftykins, I hope so.
[15:01] <Siilwyn> daftykins, do you dislike the edge ppa or is it really bad?
[15:01] <ramchandra> just problematic for support
[15:01] <daftykins> i'm sure it's fine, just a lot of newbie users end up installing it and shafting their systems
[15:01] <ramchandra> otherwise I don't think it's bad, it is experimental obviously
[15:01] <Bombo> daftykins: there is just one GPU believe me ;)
[15:02] <EriC^^> joe___: ok type sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[15:02] <daftykins> Bombo: alright, but it would be nice to see things first hand when providing support rather than have someone mangling the responses every time
[15:02] <Bombo> Siilwyn: so it worked?
[15:02] <joe___> Eric, Only the /dev/sda option is available
[15:02] <EriC^^> joe___: then press o
[15:02] <Siilwyn> Bombo, yes it works perfectly. (=
[15:02] <Bombo> Siilwyn: then i think i'll try that too now ;)
[15:02] <EriC^^> first press v
[15:03] <EriC^^> and paste
[15:03] <BluesKaj> Siilwyn, for now, wait til the next upgrade
[15:03] <EriC^^> in paste.ubuntu.com
[15:03] <daftykins> Bombo: which version did you put on? "dpkg -l | grep nvidia"
[15:03] <Siilwyn> ramchandra, if I install a version that's marked as stable by nvidia it isn't experimental right?
[15:03] <joe___> Eric : http://pastebin.com/fK09Lpks
[15:04] <ramchandra> Siilwyn: I think so, that means it's a stable package for normal use, though I've never used nvidia.
[15:04] <daftykins> on Linux, proprietary drivers are always experimental ;)
[15:04] <Bombo> daftykins: ii nvidia-current 304.125-0ubuntu0.0.1
[15:04] <Siilwyn> daftykins, haha, that would make a great quote.
[15:05] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, next Ubuntu version?
[15:05] <daftykins> Bombo: i'd purge nvidia* and try nvidia-319
[15:05] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, also I think I forgot to thank you, so hereby, thanks! ^^
[15:05] <daftykins> or the newer one, 332, whichever it was
[15:05] <joe___> Eric : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9705465/
[15:05] <BluesKaj> nope, Siilwyn next edgers upgrade
[15:05] <Siilwyn> BluesKaj, how do I know when the next edger upgrade is?
[15:06] <BluesKaj> you won't Siilwyn
[15:06] <Cygnusx> guys if you need to install gpu driver make sure gksu is installed
[15:06] <BluesKaj> suddenly your nvidia gpu isn't performing
[15:06] <daftykins> Cygnusx: that isn't needed...?
[15:06] <BluesKaj> Siilwyn,^
[15:07] <Cygnusx> its needed for sure
[15:07] <daftykins> Siilwyn: you can always tell which driver is in use by running nvidia-settings
[15:07] <Bombo> daftykins: hmkay
[15:07]  * Cygnusx brb
[15:07] <daftykins> Cygnusx: not for every single setup i've assisted with in here.
[15:07] <daftykins> unless it's already installed
[15:07] <joe___> Eric : You found anything?
[15:08] <Cygnusx> for amd/radeon driver , without having installed gksu  i failed in installing gpu driver .
[15:08] <EriC^^> joe___: ok press w
[15:08] <joe___> done
[15:09] <joe___> Eric :  Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered!  Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks.
[15:09] <Cygnusx> i'll post the notes regarding my successful omea driver installation
[15:09] <daftykins> Cygnusx: there are command line ways to install the AMD driver too which do not require that at all, please don't mislead people with anecdotal evidence :)
[15:09] <Siilwyn> daftykins, aight thanks.
[15:10] <joe___> Eric : you there?
[15:10] <EriC^^> yeah
[15:11] <joe___> Eric : Now what should I do?
[15:13] <joe___> Eric : now Hptools only showing unallocated space
[15:13] <joe___> Eric : I guess HP tools partition is gone
[15:13] <EriC^^> yeah
[15:13] <joe___> So now the prblm has gone ?
[15:14] <EriC^^> try to see if the installer will see it
[15:14] <joe___> No
[15:15] <joe___> It shows /dev/sda only
[15:15] <joe___> Should i restart?
[15:15] <joe___> Or run partprobe
[15:15] <joe___> ?
[15:15] <EriC^^> try partprobe
[15:15] <tombtc> any of you guys using pokerstars on ubuntu?
[15:16] <joe___> Eric : ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo partprobe Error: /dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label
[15:16] <joe___> I guess it's ok
[15:16] <EriC^^> yeah
[15:16] <tombtc> is wine better or a virtual machine?
[15:16] <joe___> ok i'm trying to install
[15:16] <joe___> let's see
[15:16] <acerimmer> tombtc, much more efficient to just state your problems directly:  https://inkscape.org/media/cms_page_media/56/ask-smart-questions.pdf
[15:16] <bekks> tombtc: Depends on what you are trying to achieve.
[15:16] <joe___> Eric, No man, It again failed
[15:17] <daftykins> !wine | tombtc
[15:17] <joe___> Only shows /dev/sda
[15:17] <tombtc> thanks
[15:17] <EriC^^> tombtc: vm, ship it :P
[15:18] <joe___> Eric : Hey Eric, Should I try to boot from Windows CD to see what it show, Or You 've got something else or magical to solve it :D
[15:19] <EriC^^> joe___: i dont know really
[15:19] <joe___> OK :(
[15:19] <joe___> Eric, Any Suggestion :(
[15:19] <EriC^^> joe___: all i can say is that when you get it fixed you need to make sure it's aligned properly
[15:20] <EriC^^> joe___: sorry man, i've no idea
[15:20] <EriC^^> joe___: you could try making it gpt
[15:20] <ramchandra> you may consider using a data scrubber like photorec or testdisk to recover the files and then reinstall ubuntu if all else fails
[15:20] <EriC^^> instead of msdos i guess
[15:21] <EriC^^> joe___: type sudo gdisk /dev/sda
[15:21] <ramchandra> joe___: what's the problem?
[15:21] <EriC^^> joe___: then press o
[15:21] <joe___> Ok i'm trying
[15:22] <joe___> Eric : Command (? for help): o This option deletes all partitions and creates a new protective MBR. Proceed? (Y/N): y
[15:22] <joe___> Eric : I pressed yes
[15:22] <joe___> Eric Now asking for command
[15:23] <joe___> Ramchandra : I'm not able to install ubuntu See this : http://imgur.com/f2x4h2K
[15:23] <joe___> Eric What should I do now
[15:23] <joe___> ?
[15:24] <ramchandra> personally I would use a gui like gparted, it contains most of the same featutres
[15:24] <joe___> Ramchandra
[15:24] <joe___> SO what should i do
[15:24] <acerimmer> joe___, gparted.  format the HDD to msdos.  then manually add your partitions
[15:24] <EriC^^> press w
[15:25] <joe___> Eric : Command (? for help): o This option deletes all partitions and creates a new protective MBR. Proceed? (Y/N): y  Command (? for help): w  Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING PARTITIONS!!  Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sda. The operation has completed successfully. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[15:25] <EriC^^> joe___: ok you know the drill
[15:25] <EriC^^> :P
[15:25] <ramchandra> now I think you should rerun the installer and see if it works
[15:26] <joe___> Eric : Should I restart Or try from here?
[15:26] <EriC^^> try from here
[15:26] <ramchandra> you can close the window and re-run
[15:26] <ramchandra> that should be enough
[15:26] <joe___> Eric : sould i run partprobe
[15:26] <ramchandra> probably unnecessary, but no harm I guess
[15:26] <EriC^^> wont hurt
[15:27] <joe___> ohh man
[15:27] <ryu145> こんにちわ＾ー＾
[15:27] <acerimmer> !jp | ryu145,
[15:27] <joe___> Finally it showed other options
[15:27] <joe___> Ok Eric:
[15:28] <joe___> Eric : I've choose option that erase all and install ubuntu on hdd now its showing to select clock
[15:28] <joe___> Eric : It that Ok ?
[15:28] <joe___> Eric : I'm going right?
[15:28] <EriC^^> joe___: no, cause you need to leave space for win7
[15:28] <joe___> Should i back
[15:28] <EriC^^> yeah
[15:29] <EriC^^> it's already installing i think
[15:29] <EriC^^> restart the installer
[15:29] <joe___> how
[15:29] <joe___> it don't have close option
[15:29] <joe___> should i remove live usb?
[15:29] <EriC^^> does ctrl+alt+t get a terminal ?
[15:30] <joe___> then
[15:30] <joe___> yes
[15:30] <EriC^^> type xkill and click on the installer
[15:30] <joe___> got terminal
[15:30] <joe___> done
[15:31] <EriC^^> try to restart the usb
[15:31] <EriC^^> and enter the installer again
[15:32] <EriC^^> i mean restart the live usb
[15:32] <streulma> hello, Ubuntu Server hangs after Freeing Initrd Memory
[15:32] <streulma> maybe root device not found?
[15:32] <daftykins> #ubuntu-server
[15:34] <decci> I am getting errror while compilation of mysql binaeries as collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [factorial] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/mysql-5.0.96/dbug' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/mysql-5.0.96' make: *** [all] Error 2
[15:35] <lele_> hello, everyone
[15:35] <decci> What packages might be missing here
[15:35] <ramchandra> decci: there are packages for mysql btw, unless there is some problem
[15:35] <fragment137> Anyone good with hardware? specifically HDDs... I'm looking at SMART error logs in Parted Magic bootcd and I'm rying to find more information on the error
[15:36] <ramchandra> lol I'm also trying to fix some bad sectors
[15:36] <fragment137> or can someone point me to a good channel to ask?
[15:36] <ramchandra> fragment137: run a self test and paste the output
[15:36] <daftykins> fragment137: i'd rather see an ubuntu liveCD booted so you can run "sudo smarctl -a /dev/sda" from there
[15:36] <fragment137> daftykins: that can be arranged.. give me a few
[15:36] <daftykins> cool :)
[15:37] <leonardo__> hello
[15:37] <decci> ramchandra: I am trying to install old MySQL 5.0.96 on Ubuntu 12.04
[15:37] <fragment137> This particular disk is in a RAID. Before I start troubleshooting is there any special consideration I should take
[15:37] <ramchandra> daftykins, fragment137: parted magic has smartctl (gsmartcontrols implies that)
[15:37] <decci> and tryign to compile it
[15:37] <fragment137> oo
[15:37] <fragment137> I can run that
[15:37] <ramchandra> decci: paste info before that
[15:37] <BluesKaj> decci, build-essential installed ?
[15:38] <decci> BluesKaj: Yes
[15:38] <decci> ramchandra: okay
[15:38] <daftykins> can it pastebin from there though? :P
[15:38] <fragment137> should have net access
[15:38] <fragment137> one minute
[15:39] <fragment137> yup I have net access
[15:39] <ramchandra> fragment137: command btw, `sudo smartctl -t short /dev/<device>`
[15:39] <daftykins> i take it parted magic is built atop a Linux then? never touched it
[15:39] <decci> ramchandra: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9705658/
[15:39] <ramchandra> yes, it is
[15:39] <fragment137> thanks ramchandra
[15:39] <fragment137> Silly question.. how do I display all my /dev/sd's
[15:39] <daftykins> fragment137: i'd rather just see "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" as that'd be obvious to me, not silly SMART tests
[15:39] <ramchandra> ls /dev/sd*
[15:39] <fragment137> yup
[15:39] <fragment137> working on it
[15:39] <daftykins> or sudo fdisk -l / sudo parted -l
[15:40] <ramchandra> and run "# smartctl -l selftest /dev/<device> # smartctl -a /dev/<device>" after that to give us info about the disk
[15:40] <decci> ramchandra: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [factorial] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/mysql-5.0.96/dbug' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
[15:40] <decci> ramchandra: This is the actual error during make command run
[15:40] <decci> ramchandra: Am I missing any packages?
[15:40] <adac> http://bit.ly/1Fukvfp
[15:41] <ramchandra> decci: hmm.. not sure about the error, seems like the library versions are incompatible (relevant section: <...>/mysys/my_pthread.c:54: undefined reference to `_db_pargs_')
[15:41] <ramchandra> (newer library versions won't work as well with old mysql I guess)
[15:41] <decci> ramchandra: How to go for fix for this?
[15:42] <pedrodias> good morning, afternoon or evening
[15:42] <decci> ramchandra: Will I need to backport
[15:42] <pedrodias> i am really new to Linux .. like since yesterday
[15:42] <ramchandra> decci: seems like it might be bug: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=37606 , the solution is to use a fresh tree
[15:42] <daftykins> pedrodias: got a support question then?
[15:42] <ramchandra> pedrodias: then this is the correct place :)
[15:43] <pedrodias> i cant get to put my D-Link GO-USB-N150 wireless sub stick to work on Xubuntu
[15:43] <decci> ramchandra: So does it mean its impossible to install it?
[15:43] <pedrodias> usb stick, sorry
[15:43] <ramchandra> decci: I don't know, see if that bug report is similar to your installation
[15:43] <pedrodias> yeah, it does not even recognize anything
[15:44] <daftykins> pedrodias: plug it in and run "lsusb" in a terminal to see what it calls it
[15:44] <pedrodias> it was working good on win7
[15:44] <ramchandra> pedrodias: it seems you have to install a driver
[15:45] <ramchandra> (I'm not experienced in installing drivers though)
[15:45] <tomisy> hello
[15:45] <pedrodias> daftykins, Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2001:3311 D-Link Corp.
[15:45] <decci> ramchandra: .configure worked but make and make installed doesnt
[15:46] <streulma> who has bcmwl 43142 wireless too?
[15:46] <acerimmer> streulma, here
[15:46] <streulma> acerimmer got some drop outs
[15:46] <ramchandra> decci: that is as expected, but sadly I don't know too much about this matter. I guess it's hard to install an old version. Maybe use an older ubuntu version?
[15:47] <streulma> acerimmer on 14.04, so upgraded to proposed update
[15:47] <acerimmer> streulma, ah.  sorry.  never had that issue ...
[15:47] <streulma> acerimmer you are on 14.10 ?
[15:47] <acerimmer> streulma, LTS only ..
[15:47] <acerimmer> 14.04
[15:47] <pedrodias> btw, im using xubuntu .. but since it has ubuntu baseline.. im ok here, right ?
[15:47] <daftykins> pedrodias: yes
[15:48] <pedrodias> k ;)
[15:48] <fragment137> daftykins ramchandra: http://pastebin.com/gNgjNvm1 is smartctl -l selftest /dev/sde | http://pastebin.com3wnMSE6x is smartctl -a /dev/sde
[15:48] <daftykins> !flavours
[15:48] <daftykins> http://pastebin.com/3wnMSE6x
[15:48] <fragment137> ./dev/sde is the one that was reporting errors. I have errors on other drives in the RAID but I believe they're related to this. I think I just need a new HDD but I want to see what you guys have to say :)
[15:48] <pedrodias> daftykins, is that for my issue ?
[15:48] <ramchandra> fragment137: the link doesn't work for me at least
[15:49] <fragment137> which one
[15:49] <fragment137> whoops
[15:49] <fragment137> lol
[15:49] <ramchandra> fragment137: oh nvm pastebin.com is blocked in india
[15:49] <fragment137> :/
[15:49] <daftykins> fragment137: oh wow that disk is toast. look at line 66 of the latter, 47,000 reallocated sectors.
[15:49] <fragment137> Awesome sauce.
[15:49] <fragment137> guess I'm going to pick up a drive today
[15:49] <daftykins> you see drive tests are a waste of time 'cause you can see at a glance from the SMART data table that that disk is utterly dead :>
[15:49] <ramchandra> fragment137: you could try badblocks to salvage it, but don't use it for anything at all important
[15:50] <aissa> what is ubuntu-server?
[15:50] <daftykins> also 3792 pending sectors
[15:50] <daftykins> ramchandra: lol, utter waste of time
[15:50] <fragment137> ramchandra: honestly, I can just swap it out without fear of data loss
[15:50] <daftykins> that disk is going down like the Titanic
[15:50] <fragment137> it's 1/4 disks in a RAID 5
[15:50] <kangar00> hi
[15:51] <fragment137> OK good to know.. i'm gonna go get a new disk
[15:52] <fragment137> thanks again for the help :)
[15:52] <pedrodias> if someone could help me please ... this is a very old machine, optiplex gx620 ... 1 core 1gb ...
[15:52] <daftykins> fragment137: no problemo, good luck on the rebuild
[15:52] <fragment137> While i'm in here, either of you know any good utilities for testing SSDs
[15:52] <fragment137> ?
[15:52] <backbox1> helo
[15:52] <pedrodias> it could not handle win7 right ... so i decided to try linux
[15:52] <daftykins> fragment137: test in what way?
[15:52] <aissa> how to use ubuntu-server?
[15:52] <marco__> how can i install a manually compiled driver?
[15:52] <daftykins> pedrodias: that's not enough RAM to run much right at all. i don't think i'd bother
[15:53] <backbox1> hoz cqn i use this server
[15:53] <fragment137> basic really.. just want to see if I should be getting an ssd while I'm out. I have a RAID 0 (backed up of course) made up of two SSDs running my OS
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> my NFS share size is limited to 2GB -- i read something here about NFS v3 -- how do i know what NFS version i'm using? -- apt-cache show NFS makes no sense, it seems
[15:53] <vlt> aissa: What is your end goal?
[15:53] <fragment137> shoudl the same utility give me good info for an SSD or will it be misrepresented because the hardware is different?
[15:53] <pedrodias> i have a few issues with this, so i decided to try the IRC chat to get some help. If someone can help me , it would be great
[15:53] <kangar00> i have ununtu setup with luks and defaut partitioning. I want to run tune2fs -i 1d but dont know on which device (/dev/sda1)? My /dev/sda1 is an ext2 Linux (bootable) partition. /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt is a LVM2. I also have under other devices this: /dev/mint-vg/root which is the ext4 / partition it seems. So which argument should I pass to tune2fs?
[15:53] <aissa> make local-server
[15:54] <daftykins> fragment137: i honestly can't go back to non-SSD systems now, the difference on getting one is night and day :) your life will never be the same!
[15:54] <acerimmer> pedrodias, old machine?  lubuntu is optimized for old machines
[15:54] <vlt> aissa: T856686592hia doesn't sound like a goal to me.
[15:54] <vlt> aissa: *This
[15:54] <pedrodias> daftykins, its all i have for now ... :( ... and it works good with Xubuntu
[15:54] <fragment137> daftykins: Already have two, just want to make sure they're in good health
[15:54] <acerimmer> !lubuntu | pedrodias
[15:54] <vlt> aissa: What is the server supposed to to finally?
[15:54] <daftykins> fragment137: what brand?
[15:54] <kangar00> fragment137: did you optimize your linux for SSD? I need some help with this
[15:55] <mrdiesel> hi , what is LVM
[15:55] <fragment137> kangar00: unfortunately my main machine runs windows.. Haven't tested with SSD
[15:55] <daftykins> you don't need to do much if anything with SSDs in Linux
[15:55] <pedrodias> i was installing the kernel, on youtube hearing some music and chatting on facebook yesterday and it would never pause
[15:55] <vlt> !lvm | mrdiesel
[15:55] <fragment137> daftykins: I cheaped out a bit.. they're OCZ Vertex 3's. Next upgrade will be to something better ;)
[15:55] <fragment137> Got em cause they were so cheap ($60/drive)
[15:55] <daftykins> maybe you can add 'discard' to the fstab mounts but it's not 100% necessary from what i understand
[15:55] <aissa> make a localhost
[15:55] <daftykins> fragment137: ah, sandforce based?
[15:56] <kangar00> fragment137: I have a Corsair Neutron (M306). In some tests they lasted for 1Petabytes of writes until died :)
[15:56] <fragment137> daftykins: not sure, didn't look into the hardware that much.
[15:56] <daftykins> aissa: you didn't make sense the first time. what language do you speak?
[15:56] <bekks> aissa: you dont "make a localhost" - localhost is you local computer, always.
[15:56] <fragment137> holy poop O_O
[15:56] <vlt> mrdiesel: Very handy if you need many block devices that can hold file systems, for example, or images for virtual machines and if you need to flexibly resize them later ...
[15:56] <leonardo__> lo
[15:56] <leonardo__> lol
[15:56] <fragment137> kangar00 that's pretty damn good
[15:57] <pedrodias> well, can someone help me out with the wireless usb stick, or should i move on to the next issue ???
[15:57] <fragment137> oh well.. important part right now is my storage raid... if my OS raid craps the bed I can always get a new drive and restore a backup :)
[15:57] <vlt> aissa: Could you try to descrive what you will use this "made localhost" for?
[15:57] <daftykins> fragment137: but nah, i know OCZ used to offer bootable ISOs with some software on but they're dead now, Toshiba bought their SSD business i think
[15:57] <kangar00> fragment137: yeah. http://techreport.com/review/26523/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-casualties-on-the-way-to-a-petabyte
[15:57] <kangar00> see related articles there as well
[15:57] <fragment137> daftykins: I'm looking at either samsung or intel
[15:57] <fragment137> kangar00: i'll look into that, thanks :)
[15:57] <daftykins> samsung 850 would be my current choice, if money is no object
[15:57] <fragment137> mine too
[15:58] <fragment137> if money is no object, lol
[15:58] <kangar00> so anybody has LUKS setup? i need to know what arg i pass to tune2fs instead of /dev/sda1
[15:58] <aissa> i need to install lamp--server or any tools like it
[15:58] <acerimmer> !lvm | mrdiesel
[15:59] <fragment137> arighty, i'm off to buy hardware
[15:59] <fragment137> thanks again guys
[15:59] <fragment137> see you later
[15:59] <kangar00> ciao
[15:59] <pedrodias> fragment137, good shopping
[15:59] <vlt> aissa: end goal?
[15:59] <mrdiesel> thank you guys
[16:00] <daftykins> aissa: i don't think you know what you want to do
[16:00] <vlt> aissa: Installig something is more like a step toward it.
[16:02] <pedrodias> well, my second issue ... its not really an issue... but i think i can manage on Linux
[16:02] <pedrodias> it appears i have a dead usb on win7
[16:02] <pedrodias> but, its only lacking to be fully recognized
[16:03] <pedrodias> it does not mount
[16:03] <bekks> pedrodias: So it is broken.
[16:03] <pedrodias> where is Gparted after i install it ?
[16:03] <acerimmer> pedrodias, they do fail
[16:03] <pedrodias> no no ... but im guessing its  partition related or formating
[16:03] <aissa> how to install local-server
[16:04] <pedrodias> because it does almost everything
[16:04] <pedrodias> its not yet dead
[16:04] <pedrodias> still breathing, lol
[16:05] <pedrodias> is there any command to see if its alive ?
[16:05] <kangar00> aissa: sudo apt-get lamp-server^
[16:05] <pedrodias> that lsusb is just for that, right ?
[16:05] <kangar00> anybody has their drive encrypted with LUKS?
[16:06] <pedrodias> as i thought... it is recognized on terminal too
[16:06] <aissa> thanks
[16:07] <kangar00> aissa: that automatically installs all packages needed for LAMP. There are several of them and you can see them listed in the console before you're asked for confirmation.
[16:07] <daftykins> tasksel has a different idea of what the 'P' in LAMP is ;)
[16:09] <pedrodias> my fault .. g parted was not installed, lol
[16:09] <pedrodias> gonna try to fix my usb all alone ;)
[16:09] <bekks> aissa: you do not install "local-server" at all. It is always there.
[16:09] <pedrodias> but my wireless usb ... no luck :(
[16:10] <daftykins> pedrodias: look up that d-link and find out what chipset it uses
[16:10] <bekks> aissa: If you want/need to install a webserver on your local server, just follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/web-servers.html
[16:10] <pedrodias> how can i find its chipset ?
[16:10] <daftykins> pedrodias: by looking it up :P
[16:11] <pedrodias> daftykins, really funny .. lol .. im a noob , how will i do that ?
[16:12] <daftykins> pedrodias: i was referring to google, one sec i decided to be charitable and google the 2001:3311 code you fetched earlier
[16:13] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  start with   sudo lshw|grep wire
[16:13] <pedrodias> send me your adress, i will ask for a present for you next Xmas :D
[16:13] <amartin> exit
[16:13] <amartin> quit
[16:13] <amartin> :q
[16:13] <pedrodias> your a good boyy this year :D
[16:14] <daftykins> pedrodias: try running "sudo ubuntu-drivers list" in a terminal, paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com to share here
[16:14] <amartin> how can I close irssi?
[16:14] <pedrodias> MonkeyDust, is that a terminal command ?
[16:14] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  yes
[16:14] <aissa> thanks
[16:14] <jack_> hello
[16:14] <daftykins> looks like it's a realtek RTL8188EU btw
[16:14] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  lshw means list hardware
[16:14] <jack_> what is
[16:15] <daftykins> !topic | jack_
[16:15] <pedrodias> your command turned out 0 daftykins
[16:15] <pedrodias> gonna try MonkeyDust
[16:15] <kangar00> vm.swappiness=0 - this disables swap? what does value 10 do?
[16:15] <daftykins> pedrodias: ok
[16:15] <jack_> what Xchat
[16:15] <bekks> kangar00: No, it doesnt.
[16:15] <bekks> kangar00: It sets swappiness to 0.
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> jack_  this is ubuntu support
[16:16] <jack_> this is the first time i use this .
[16:16] <bekks> kangar00: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swappiness
[16:16] <pedrodias> either command returned anything
[16:17] <pedrodias> MonkeyDust: your command showed me a PCI something, but it vanished
[16:17] <jack_> exit
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  don't forget sudo in front of the command
[16:17] <pedrodias> yes, i did
[16:18] <pedrodias> i did sudo lshw|grep wire and after sudo ubuntu-drivers list
[16:18] <pedrodias> both returned a big fat 0
[16:18] <pedrodias> lol
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[16:19] <pedrodias> should i type that and find out ?
[16:19] <kangar00> is it safe to add noatime to /boot ?
[16:19] <bekks> pedrodias: Apparently.
[16:20] <bekks> kangar00: Yes.
[16:20] <pedrodias> Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l
[16:20] <kangar00> does noatime cover directory access too or just files? is there a different command for directory?
[16:20] <bekks> kangar00: It covers filesystem access.
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  has wifi worked before on that machine?
[16:21] <kangar00> for boot i set like this? UUID=0c140417-c276-4c9e-bde3-b5ce8433178e /boot           ext2    noatime,defaults        0       2
[16:21] <pedrodias> with win7 yes
[16:21] <pedrodias> i bought the usb styick just for that
[16:21] <pedrodias> it has no wifi built in
[16:21] <streulma> he, what does noatime?
[16:21] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  it's an external usb stick for wifi?
[16:21] <pedrodias> MonkeyDust: yes
[16:22] <joe_____> Eric : Hats Off :D
[16:22] <joe_____> Done with installation :D
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  is usb-modeswitch installed?
[16:22] <pedrodias> dont think so MonkeyDust
[16:23] <vlt> !anyone | kangar00: What do you need to know about the LUKS setup?
[16:23] <pedrodias> gonna find out
[16:23] <kangar00> streulma: stops from writing access times (atime) to disk. I use it to reduce writes to SSD. But for a mailserver for example is useful AFAIK.
[16:23] <pedrodias> nope
[16:23] <RNeville> Hello Everyone!
[16:23] <pedrodias> will i get it from software center ?
[16:23] <vlt> kangar00: What do you need to know about the LUKS setup?
[16:23] <daftykins> MonkeyDust: it's just an unsupported OOTB realtek RTL8188xx
[16:23] <daftykins> (probably)
[16:23] <bekks> kangar00: It is totally pointless to use noatime for reducing IO on /boot.
[16:23] <MonkeyDust> daftykins  ok
[16:24] <streulma> is it good to install linux-image-generic-lts-utopic ?
[16:24] <bekks> kangar00: It is a good old fairy tail that it will destroy your SSD when not doing so.
[16:24] <pedrodias> cant i emulate something to get it to work daftykins  ?
[16:24] <kangar00> vlt: LUKS setup. I have SDD setup with default partitioning using full disk encryption. I want to run tune2fs -i 1d and tune2fs -c 1 but not sure what argument to give for device (/dev/sda1, /dev/mapper/mint-vg-root, /dev/mint-vg/root) ?
[16:24] <bekks> kangar00: you want to ask the mint support.
[16:25] <kangar00> bekks: pointless because it only reads boot once when it boots?
[16:25] <bekks> kangar00: Correct.
[16:25] <kangar00> bekks: mint support is slow, nobody active there. and the process is same for ubuntu
[16:25] <bekks> kangar00: And Mint isnt supported in here.
[16:25] <bekks> !mint | kangar00
[16:26] <daftykins> pedrodias: it's not that convoluted.
[16:26] <kangar00> bekks: I know mate. ut the question is distro agnostic. Is same for whatever luks setup
[16:26] <daftykins> pedrodias: i don't have a clue how to set that one up, i would just be googling for the model + ubuntu 14.04
[16:26] <lordeinglfdfes> hello
[16:26] <bekks> kangar00: You dont want to accept the fact that this isnt a distro-agnostic support channel, but an ubuntu-specific support channel. Please refer to the support of your distro.
[16:27] <pedrodias> daftykins, i did that yesterday with no luck
[16:27] <vlt> kangar00: You can find out which devices hold your file systems with "df" or "mount".
[16:27] <pedrodias> but i guess ill try more
[16:27] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  then it seems you're out of luck with that usb stick
[16:27] <vlt> kangar00: If you use LUKS a virtual block device is created in /dev/mapper usually.
[16:27] <pedrodias> it cant be , lol
[16:28] <daftykins> pedrodias: well now you have RTL8188EU to search for!
[16:28] <pedrodias> Its the only way i have to share my network with my kids Xbox360 ... he is asking me all the time
[16:28] <daftykins> pedrodias: and yes it can totally happen, realtek are nasty for Linux.
[16:28] <pedrodias> daftykins, thanks for the chipset ;)
[16:28] <daftykins> pedrodias: network cables are lovely.
[16:28] <pedrodias> loool daftykins
[16:29] <MonkeyDust> wireless is "the new normal"
[16:29] <pedrodias> my service provider should have gave me a wifi router
[16:29] <pedrodias> but they were cheap, and gave me one without wifi
[16:30] <daftykins> you could buy yourself a wireless access point to plug in, but the kids gaming over wifi would be terrible. so, cable :D
[16:30] <kangar00> vlt: yes, I have gnome-disks reporting /dev/mint-vg/root and in fstab i have / mounted on /dev/mapper/mint--vg-root
[16:30] <daftykins> pedrodias: the problem is that even if you get that adapter working under xubuntu, it's unlikely it'll share a connection properly as the driver is so bad
[16:31] <pedrodias> i will try to get a trailpark gizmo to have cable to his Xbox
[16:31] <pedrodias> the cable comes from there, gonna see if i can get a switch
[16:32] <pedrodias> daftykins, got your point
[16:32] <daftykins> surely the wired only router has a 4 port switch at least?
[16:32] <phre4k> ^
[16:32] <pedrodias> let me check
[16:32] <pedrodias> nope
[16:32] <pedrodias> 1 port only
[16:33] <ovrflw0x> what changes do  i need to make for installing ubuntu on SSD?
[16:33] <pedrodias> Thomson in all its greatness
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> !ssd | ovrflw0x start here
[16:34] <pedrodias> THOMSON THG540
[16:35] <ovrflw0x> MonkeyDust, i'm installing 14.10 so i don't have to make any changes on SSD?
[16:36] <kangar00> cron.daily gets run daily or whenever I boot if I haven't booted for several days?
[16:36] <bekks> kangar00: Daily.
[16:36] <daftykins> pedrodias: http://obrazki.elektroda.net/48_1282486789.jpg ?
[16:36] <phre4k> ovrflw0x: no changes
[16:37] <pedrodias> daftykins, on the money ;)
[16:37] <kangar00> bekks: so if it didn't run today yet and i shutdown, then it runs when i boot fter 4 days for exmaple? Or only runs daily at 00:00 hours and if at that time computer is off it won't run?
[16:37] <daftykins> pedrodias: nasty :S
[16:37] <pedrodias> daftykins, really, lol
[16:37] <bekks> kangar00: No. It runs daily, not on boot.
[16:37] <daftykins> pedrodias: perhaps it should have an accident...
[16:37] <kangar00> bekks: at 00:00 hours?
[16:37] <ovrflw0x> i've discreet/integrated GPU with "mux", thus it uses "vgaswitcheroo" - so will 14.10 work nicely with my laptop?
[16:37] <vlt> kangar00: Ah ok, that's a bit confusing if you don't know: One (or both) of them is an alias (a soft link). So the devices /dev/mapper/mint--vg-root and /dev/mint-vg/root are the same :-D
[16:38] <bekks> kangar00: Just check the times when specific jobs are scheduled to run.
[16:38] <kangar00> vlt: yeah just noticed that. so I can run tune2fs on any of them yes?
[16:38] <vlt> kangar00: Yes.
[16:39] <jhutchins> kangar00: anacron tries to catch up on missed jobs. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto
[16:39] <bekks> kangar00: The /etc/crontab specifies 21:17 as the default start time for cron.daily scripts.
[16:40] <pedrodias> daftykins, maybe it should ... but they will just replace it with another one just like it ... its a trademark
[16:40] <kangar00> bekks & jhutchins & vlt : thank you!
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> kangar00  in a terminal, type    man 5 crontab
[16:43] <ovrflw0x> i've discrete/integrated GPU with "mux", thus it uses "vgaswitcheroo" - so will 14.10 work nicely with my laptop?
[16:43] <bekks> ovrflw0x: We dont know which hardware you have.
[16:43] <daftykins> ovrflw0x: ^ what brand? give us some clues here...
[16:43] <ovrflw0x> bekks, Radeon HD 5650
[16:43] <ovrflw0x> hp envy 14 1000 (2010) model
[16:44] <MACscr> do i have to specify a distribution when doing my own repo? My packages are for all versions of ubuntu
[16:44] <MACscr> apt-get update doesnt work unless i specify one though
[16:44] <MACscr> though it actually fails eventually because the dist folder doesnt exist
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> MACscr  better ask in #ubuntu-app-devel, i guess
[16:45] <MACscr> MonkeyDust: well im not making anything public or a special app. its just a private repo
[16:45] <daftykins> MACscr: doesn't really make it on topic for here
[16:46] <MACscr> not sure how it isnt. its an ubuntu repo running on ubuntu =P
[16:47] <ovrflw0x> bekks, daftykins i told what gpu i've got now what?
[16:47] <ovrflw0x> and model
[16:48] <daftykins> MACscr: 'cause we support official stuff :> i'm sure a friendly person might appear eventually but you'll be waiting a long time.
[16:48] <daftykins> ovrflw0x: no idea with AMD stuff. just try it?
[16:48] <ovrflw0x> does 14.10 still have vgaswitcheroo?
[16:49] <daftykins> !info vgaswitcheroo
[16:49] <daftykins> i think even if it does, that might be an old method of using such hybrid graphics
[16:49] <ovrflw0x> then? i've got radeon hd 5650
[16:50] <daftykins> like i said. try it.
[16:50] <daftykins> or look up ubuntu + your laptop model
[16:50] <Flaiker> hello, I have a server with ubuntu 14.10 on it. If I look at it through vnc it looks way worse than using the webinterface of my hoster regarding ui (scrollbar isnt slim, fonts, colors). Heres a comparisson, left is how it should be: http://i.imgur.com/riAxIPX.png . Any idea? I suppose it must have something to do with the .vnc/xstartup missing something that must be launched, dont know what though.
[16:51] <Cygnusx> How to install IDT audio driver ?
[16:51] <compdoc> Flaiker, you can install fonts, or turn off the option in preferences
[16:51] <daftykins> Flaiker: you're using VNC... to graphically display a text command line on a server... :)
[16:51] <daftykins> Flaiker: SSH.
[16:52] <Flaiker> I thought it would be some kind of video stream or so, the vnc client is rendering it itself then?
[16:53] <compdoc> no
[16:53] <Th34rchitekt> Flaiker: Why don't you simply use ssh instead of vnc?
[16:53] <daftykins> Flaiker: you know VNC typically sends your password in plaintext yeah?
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> Flaiker  if you only want to read text, ssh would be more appropriate to use
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> Flaiker  by text, I mean: terminal text
[16:55] <Flaiker> ok thank you, Ill propably just stick to direct ssh then
[16:56] <daftykins> and maybe consider ditching VNC, it could be a security risk depending on how it's configured
[16:58] <ovrflw0x> does 14.10 have lightdm?
[16:58] <bekks> ovrflw0x: Yes.
[16:58] <Vladdi> anyone uses Anonine on a mac?
[16:58] <marco__> how do i install a compiled driver?
[16:58] <pedrodias> daftykins: guess what :P
[16:59] <ovrflw0x> bekks, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2246301&page=2 do i need to do modeset=1?
[16:59] <bekks> marco__: What are you actually trying to achieve?
[16:59] <pedrodias> daftykins: im built like a mule, stubborn ... so i just followed this link - http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=11261.0
[16:59] <bekks> ovrflw0x: I cant help you with that, I'm afraid. I never had an AMD hybrid graphics adapter.
[16:59] <pedrodias> i have wireless working :P
[17:00] <ovrflw0x> bekks, it's okay you can't help, but atleast don't become 'afraid'!
[17:00] <daftykins> pedrodias: eh i didn't have much doubt, there's lots of talk about them dropping connections though, so your milage may vary
[17:00] <bekks> ovrflw0x: Oh, regarding AMD graphics, I am afraid - thats why I never had and never will have one :)
[17:00] <pedrodias> daftykins,  going to see if i can share my wired connection through my wireless dongle
[17:01] <ovrflw0x> bekks, do you have bleeding edge hardware? how old is you hardware?
[17:01] <marco__> bekks: i recently bought a x455l asus laptop. drivers for the wireless card by default are faulty, but downloading the latest one from broadcomm's page work fine. The problem is i have to rmmod default driver and insmod compiled driver each time I start the laptop.
[17:01] <ovrflw0x> your*
[17:01] <Vladdi> anyone uses Anonine?
[17:02] <MonkeyDust> !find anonine
[17:02] <bekks> ovrflw0x: I do have current hardware.
[17:02] <ovrflw0x> bekks, laptop or desktop?
[17:02] <bekks> ovrflw0x: Both.
[17:02] <pedrodias> well.. now im just stoopid ... i could fix the damn dongle, and now i cant figure out how to share my connection ... ohhhh God :x
[17:03] <vlt> Hello. What happens when there's a regression bug in the latest Ubuntu in one package? (How) can I install an older working version? Where and how could this be fixed?
[17:03] <ovrflw0x> bekks, i mean on which you run ubuntu
[17:03] <bekks> ovrflw0x: On the desktop. Why does that matter?
[17:03] <MonkeyDust> vlt  start from the beginning, maybe there's a different solution
[17:05] <daftykins> pedrodias: yeah no idea on xubuntu. i don't think it uses network-manager 0o
[17:06] <pedrodias> its google time ;)
[17:06] <vlt> MonkeyDust: AFAIK many audio/video tools on Ubuntu use libavcodec. In April 2014 there was a regression bug introduced to libav that causes some h.264 video files ("All-I" footage) to be decoded with blocky artefacts. The bug is present in ubuntu 14.10 but not 14.04, for example.
[17:06] <vlt> MonkeyDust: https://bugzilla.libav.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793
[17:06] <daftykins> pedrodias: the term you probably want is 'bridge' wifi to eth0, xubuntu
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> vlt  then reinstall 14.04, is my advice, it's an LTS and supported untill... i forget when
[17:08] <Kryptic> I realise this is the wrong #irc room, but does anybody know anything about Linux Mint 17?
[17:09] <cecja> !linuxmint
[17:09] <cecja> Kryptic: but what do you mean by anything...
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  select Community / Chatroom  http://community.linuxmint.com/
[17:11] <Kryptic> I mean do you know how to boot Linux Mint 17 on a Windows 8.1 laptop?
[17:11] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  select Community / Chatroom  http://community.linuxmint.com/
[17:11] <Kryptic> Ubuntu worked fine, but I want to try Linux Mint 17.
[17:12] <daftykins> Kryptic: Mint is off topic here. no discussion, sorry.
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  i'm sure the mint people know how mint works
[17:12] <Kryptic> Ok, but I tried the Linux Mint people, but it's dead.
[17:12] <bekks> Kryptic: So just use Ubuntu instead.
[17:13] <Kryptic> So, how about this question: How do I unistall my other desktop enviroments like Unity?
[17:13] <Kryptic> Without wiping half my system due to autoremove
[17:13] <bekks> Kryptic: Ask the Mint support when using Mint. Or ask the Ubuntu support when using Ubuntu. :)
[17:14] <Kryptic> Then how do I uninstall Unity then?
[17:14] <bubbasaures> by installi ng ubuntu
[17:15] <Kryptic> I love the Cinnamon desktop, but I only want 2 desktop environments at a time.
[17:15] <bekks> Kryptic: Ask the Mint support when using Mint. Or ask the Ubuntu support when using Ubuntu. :)
[17:15] <bubbasaures> Kryptic, 14.10 has cinnamon in it's repos.
[17:16] <Kryptic> I know, but I installed it already. How do i unistall unity?
[17:16] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  you don't, simply logout, switch, login
[17:16] <Kryptic> But I could've sworn I saw a way on the internet to do it via terminal.
[17:17] <daftykins> yeah you probably found a package list
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  it's easier to keep unity and simply not use it
[17:17] <Kryptic> Well then, if I can't uninstall Unity, how do I unistall my other desktops?
[17:18] <Kryptic> I installed KDE, Xubuntu, XFCE4, and Gnome
[17:18] <cecja> ...
[17:18] <Kryptic> I just don't want a ton of different apps just because a desktop is dependent on it.
[17:19] <Kryptic> Does that make sense?
[17:20] <Kryptic> Hello?
[17:20] <daftykins> Kryptic: it does but you want to have your cake and eat it.
[17:21] <Kryptic> Poo.
[17:21] <pedrodias> daftykins: i just created a wifi network ... it is connected and all is good. The Xbox360 cannot find it when scanning .. do i need to unlock something at Xubuntu ?
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  faster/easier/cleaner would be to reinstall ubuntu with the DE of your choice
[17:21] <W6NZX> I don't suppose anyone knows where I can find a working .deb for Centerim5 for 14.04 the repos only have v4 and I cant seem to complie it.
[17:22] <bekks> !info centerim
[17:22] <bubbasaures> Kryptic, In the end you want to do what you can redo, not just rely on anyone else. ;)
[17:22] <daftykins> pedrodias: if you've got any controls over what channel number to share as, that might be key. channel 6 or 11 would be wise
[17:22] <bekks> W6NZX: sudo apt-get install centerim
[17:22] <bekks> W6NZX: Or why do you need v5?
[17:22] <Kryptic> MonkeyDust: You mean to like download Kubuntu?
[17:22] <pedrodias> nope
[17:22] <W6NZX> yes for v4 i need v5
[17:23] <bekks> W6NZX: what do you need it for?
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  yes, if KDE is what you want
[17:23] <bubbasaures> Kryptic, Jus info but notice any install in the terminal tells you everything installed, when I add a desktop I copy that for an easy remove.
[17:23] <pedrodias> daftykins: i did not see any reference to channel number ... i created it through the drop down menu from connection on Xubuntu
[17:23] <Kryptic> MonkeyDust: I was just using Kubuntu as a example.
[17:24] <daftykins> pedrodias: oh sounds like you set up an ad-hoc wireless network, i doubt that'd be supported by the xbox360
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  what is the DE of your choice?
[17:24] <pedrodias> yeah, thats it
[17:24] <daftykins> pedrodias: ad-hoc is opposed to infrastructure mode wireless, which is the common type
[17:24] <Kryptic> MonkeyDust: I'm not sure, really. I've only heard of Xubuntu and Kubuntu.
[17:25] <pedrodias> so with ad-hoc it will never work ?
[17:25] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  ok, then decide what you want
[17:25] <Kryptic> MonkeyDust: I'm looking, brb.
[17:25] <MonkeyDust> Kryptic  http://imgur.com/a/9iaLJ#cMfLqdM
[17:25] <daftykins> pedrodias: pretty sure.
[17:27] <Bombo> hmmm why is there a version appended? /lib/modules/3.13.0-43-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_331.ko maybe thats why xorg doesn't find a module called 'nvidia'
[17:27] <Kryptic> Hmm, thanks for the pic. Xubuntu looks nice. I tried KDE, but I just didn't find it satisfying. But then again, I had only installed the very core, no add-ons.
[17:27] <Bombo> 'modprobe nvidia_331' works, 'lsmod|grep nvidia' shows 'nvidia'
[17:27] <Bombo> hmmm
[17:28] <daftykins> Kryptic: yeah that's gonna ruin your experience.
[17:28] <Kryptic> I love Widgets and Applets, is Xubuntu good for those needs?
[17:28] <Kryptic> DaftyKins: So I should download Kubuntu to get the full experience?
[17:28] <daftykins> yes
[17:28] <decci> I am getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/9706306/

[17:31] <k1l> decci: that is a 3rd party packe. we dont know what is in that package, if it works at all and if that is a known issue with that 3rd party package. so please ask the maintainer of that package/ppa for help
[17:31] <daftykins> Kryptic: why are we being shown this, exactly?
[17:31] <pedrodias> daftykins:  im searching and it seems the Ad-Hoc business with Xbox360 can work, through Windows ... how come i cant do it on Linux ?
[17:31] <Kryptic> DaftyKins: No clue.
[17:31] <daftykins> pedrodias: could be a sign of how it might not work with that driver like i suggested earlier today ;)
[17:32] <daftykins> pedrodias: i don't know how to use it and i don't know if it even works, but you could give hostapd a try...
[17:32] <shwaiil> Q: I've got a laptop with 2x SSD Harddrives and the way I've partioned everything is a big mess. The reason is related with having windows booting. I now tested windows as a VM and works fine. I wonder if there's a good article about how to setup our ubuntu properly ? I'm probably buying a bigger SSD just for installing Ubuntu + Win7 VM (virtualbox) and remove this two hdd. Any tips ?
[17:32] <daftykins> !info hostapd
[17:32] <pedrodias> too bad i have my android broken
[17:32] <pedrodias> or i could try to see if i have it working
[17:32] <Kryptic> How much better is a full Kubuntu install, rather than just the  core?
[17:32] <decci> k1l: How to reach out to the maintainer
[17:32] <daftykins> shwaiil: two SSDs in RAID, or just two?
[17:32] <daftykins> Kryptic: download it, put it on a flash drive, test a live session, and stop bugging us ;)
[17:33] <jhutchins> pedrodias: Would this be helpful? http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-create-a-wireless-ad-hoc-network-in-ubuntu
[17:33] <k1l> decci: and while i see that package is from 2012 i would recommend you dont install that at all
[17:33] <Kryptic> DaftyKins: Will do :D
[17:33] <shwaiil> daftykins, thanks for looking first of all. It's two SSDs non raid
[17:33] <Kryptic> Thanks guys!
[17:34] <shwaiil> Q: Any System profile software for ubuntu ? I want to know what hardware I have, can't remember everything
[17:34] <daftykins> shwaiil: so an install of win7 in legacy mode on one, then ubuntu on the other in legacy mode? i don't really see what's so messy about setting that up, seems pretty straightforward
[17:34] <daftykins> shwaiil: lshw
[17:34] <daftykins> (terminal)
[17:35] <shwaiil> daftykins, I created different partitions to run ubuntu and left maybe 20gb for win7. I decided not to use the second ssd. I'm running out of space now and I'm ok about deleting the windows partition.
[17:35] <shwaiil> daftykins, is there any GUI one ?
[17:35] <decci>  sudo invoke-rc.d mysql start  * Starting MySQL database server mysqld                                 [fail] invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.

[17:36] <shwaiil> Ok cool thanks
[17:36] <Kryptic> Ok, sorry, i'm back already.
[17:37] <Kryptic> I just had one more question: How customizable is Kubuntu? I want a desktop that I can tweak a ton.
[17:37] <Kryptic> Or should I go for Xubuntu?
[17:37] <W6NZX> hey guys I cant get centerim5 to compile anyone know of a working .deb for ubuntu 14.04?
[17:37] <daftykins> Kryptic: #kubuntu
[17:38] <DeaDSouL_> hi.. I installed ubuntu server 14.04.1... what i want it to do is automatically log 'some-user' in when it boots... normally I would modify the /etc/inittab and add the login command there... but since it uses the systemd init instead of inittab... how can I do it.. which file should I modify ?
[17:38] <daftykins> Kryptic: here's a tip though, if you went to test a live session you'd be able to answer that
[17:39] <jhutchins> DeaDSouL_: No, you would NOT modify inittab.  You'd probably put the login in rc.local, which would still work.
[17:40] <DeaDSouL_> jhutchins:  this the command i used to use /etc/inittab : 1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f xbmc tty1 </dev/tty1 2>&1 ..... how to do it in 'rc.local'
[17:43] <Kryptic> Ok, thanks!
[17:43] <jhutchins> DeaDSouL: That's a very non-standard way to run a server, but it might be what xbmc wants you to do.  I'd google xbmc systemd.
[17:44] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: this is for XBMC? why on earth are you wasting time doing a custom install when xbmcbuntu and kodibuntu are out-of-the-box working
[17:45] <jhutchins> DeaDSouL: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kodi
[17:45] <DeaDSouL> jhutchins: i have an old laptop... and i wanted it to run only xbmc .. so i can plug it to my tv.... i don't need any display-manager or desktop-GUIs ... so i thought of a server (minimal) then installing xbmc on it
[17:45] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: there are also guides on minimal manual installs available, written by devs.
[17:45] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: yep you want kodibuntu. you're just giving yourself a silly amount of unnecessary hassle :)

[17:46] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: what do you believe that will save you?
[17:46] <daftykins> r00tByte: any reason for the spam?
ops
[17:47] <pedrodias> daftykins: So you said that i need to have Infrastruture mode , right ? ... i figured out my SSID , but shoud the MTU be left at auto ?
[17:47] <jhutchins> DeaDSouL: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/xbmc/
[17:47] <daftykins> pedrodias: yep and yep
[17:47] <blb13821> DeaDSoul: kodi adds a session you can login directly. No need for a kodibunuey or similar
[17:47] <DeaDSouL> daftykins: resources and cpu & graphics card over-heats
[17:47] <pedrodias> daftykins: BSSIS, sorry
[17:47] <daftykins> XBMC should not be used from the repos, it is outdated and unsupported
[17:47] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: take it apart and re-do the thermal paste.
[17:48] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: you ought to try them, because they're pretty minimal installs. Kodi/XBMC starts in standalone mode with no other junk, it's exactly for that purpose. in fact OpenElec would be even lighter, though no general purpose usage.
[17:48] <DeaDSouL> daftykins: the CPU and graphics-card were in mid-60s C
[17:49] <DeaDSouL> daftykins: but now they are in 48C
[17:49] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: that's not actually a problem at all
[17:49] <pedrodias> daftykins: it still is not found with Xbox...but i noticed that i can change the channel number, but only on Ad-Hoc mode
[17:49] <DeaDSouL> daftykins: it is for me... when it is in 60s and I'm donig nothing... specially it is a laptop... how on earth am I going to cool it down ?
[17:50] <shwaiil> How to check what motherboard I've got or how to tell if my motherboard supports RAID ?
[17:50] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: does it actually power off under load...?
[17:51] <daftykins> shwaiil: factory branded system or custom build desktop?
[17:51] <Nytram> shwaiil, try hardinfo
[17:51] <shwaiil> daftykins, it's a custom build laptop, but they have prebuilt setups we choose the components etc. But I can't remember the model and brand
[17:52] <shwaiil> let me check
[17:52] <DeaDSouL> daftykins: no it doesn't... but why should wait it to power off. when I can waste a few hours to configure everything.. then it will work smoothly
[17:52] <daftykins> shwaiil: start of "dmesg" may have something useful
[17:52] <shwaiil> it's a clevo w370ET
[17:53] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: i'm sorry, but your idea to try and somehow reduce temperatures by this method is totally misguided. if the temperature are truly a concern, this system needs to be disassembled and dust cleaned out from the cooling setups - then thermal paste reapplied. i do this for a living.
[17:53] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: by even using the system you're threatening its' lifespan.
[17:54] <daftykins> shwaiil: Linux mostly uses software RAID setups anyway so it doesn't even matter what support it's got
[17:54] <shwaiil> daftykins, oh really, cool : )
[17:54] <DeaDSouL> daftykins: I just cleaned it a few days ago
[17:54] <shwaiil> not sure how to check if I've got bluetooth
[17:55] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: then temperature are likely not a concern, assuming you are competent. anyway run what you want, but you're just wasting your time :)
[17:55] <daftykins> DeaDSouL: i hope to not see you asking for support over in #kodi with a funny setup!
[17:55] <DeaDSouL> shwaiil: lspci
[17:55] <DeaDSouL> shwaiil: lspci -nn
[17:55] <DeaDSouL> daftykins: idk.... its cool and nice... I'm learning some stuff about linux when I'm doing it :P
[17:56] <daftykins> uh-huh.
[17:56] <shwaiil> 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01)
[17:56] <shwaiil> just checked doesn't support
[17:57] <DeaDSouL> shwaiil: /msg judd pciid 168c:0034
[17:57] <DeaDSouL> it should give you some info about it
[17:58] <shwaiil> I don't have msg command
[17:58] <DeaDSouL> shwaiil: i mean type it here in irc
[17:59] <shwaiil> ok : )
[17:59] <shwaiil>  /msg judd pciid 168c:0034
[17:59] <shwaiil> sorry white space
[17:59] <pedrodias>  daftykins you said channel 6 and whats the other one ?
[17:59] <daftykins> 11
[18:00] <pedrodias> thx
[18:00] <DeaDSouL> shwaiil: be careful that info for debian.... just note that ;)
[18:00] <shwaiil> ok
[18:01] <daftykins> pedrodias: but if it doesn't work on one, it's not going to on the other ;)
[18:01] <Bombo> (II) LoadModule: "nvidia" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
[18:01] <pedrodias> well, im going to try again later, my kid is playing offline now and cant stop ... at least he shut up
[18:01] <pedrodias> lol
[18:02] <pedrodias> now with my other trouble ... the zombie USB stick
[18:02] <Bombo> now everything works, i installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run instead of nvidia-331
[18:02] <pedrodias> its a Lexar stick
[18:03] <Bombo> and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run even said i can add it to DKMS so if i update kernel, it will be automatically updated ;)
[18:03] <daftykins> pedrodias: what's the deal with this flash drive?
[18:03] <Bombo> daftykins: ^ ;)
[18:03] <pantato> hey guys, I installed a Netgear brand NIC, and it was working, then it stopped working after i messed with /etc/network/interfaces. lspci -v yields something along the lines of "Unclassified device [0080]".
[18:03] <pantato> Anyone have insight on that?
[18:03] <pedrodias> well... i found it lying around
[18:04] <pedrodias> i remember it is a good flash drive, and it has a good space to fool around
[18:04] <daftykins> Bombo: so you've been trying all kinds of drivers and still it fails to load, huh?
[18:04] <pedrodias> but, it would not mount on win7
[18:04] <Bombo> strange, so it really needs /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so, which isn't installed when i just do 'apt-get install nvidia-current' or nvidia-331
[18:04] <pedrodias> and im trying to find out why its zombie with linux
[18:04] <pantato> http://pastebin.com/DdzpptdC <--- here is portion of the output.
[18:05] <Bombo> daftykins: no. it works now
[18:05] <pantato> Google is yielding nothing. Everyone who posted any thread with similar issues didn't get any responses
[18:05] <daftykins> pedrodias: plug it in and run "dmesg | tail" in a terminal, sharing it via http://paste.ubuntu.com - it should show up something
[18:05] <Bombo> daftykins: with NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run i get /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
[18:05] <daftykins> Bombo: i appreciate you're trying to be helpful, but if only you knew how many nvidia DKMS failures i'd seen in here, you'd know that's not a new claim ;)
[18:06] <daftykins> Bombo: i'm not really sure why you're sharing that
[18:06] <Bombo> daftykins: i just discovered that
[18:06] <Bombo> daftykins: i'm so happy it finally worked
[18:06] <daftykins> so what did you do different?
[18:06] <Novice201y> Hi. Any suggested Ubuntu Server free online course?

[18:07] <unopaste> pedrodias you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[18:07] <daftykins> pedrodias: you know what i said to paste it on a website?
[18:07] <daftykins> i wasn't kidding.
[18:07] <daftykins> READ what i tell you.
[18:07] <Bombo> daftykins: using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.65.run instead of ubuntu package nvidia-current or nvidia-331
[18:08] <daftykins> Bombo: something must be screwy with your setup, never seen them fail
[18:08] <pedrodias> daftykins: i went on the website , pasted it and pressed paste on the bottom
[18:09] <pedrodias> it returned that text, and i thought it would have been some format to paste here.. sorry guys
[18:09] <Bombo> daftykins: i see no errors, but also no /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so and so xorg won't work...
[18:10] <daftykins> hehe
[18:10] <Bombo> daftykins: (i see no errors, when i install nvidia-current, when its compiled)
[18:10] <bubbasaures> pantato, Have you searched google with the exact model?
[18:10] <pantato> bubbasaures, yeah
[18:10] <mucus> so.
[18:11] <mucus> my server got hacked.
[18:11] <mucus> :(
[18:11] <bubbasaures> pantato, Curious as we see many here whose search phoo is not so good.
[18:11] <pedrodias> daftykins, was i supposed to put this here ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/9706555/
[18:11] <daftykins> mucus: oh? what proof?
[18:11] <mucus> total proof
[18:11] <mucus> i had to nuke the install
[18:11] <daftykins> pedrodias: yep, ok so it sees a device. now run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[18:12] <daftykins> mucus: err, so what are you doing here... :)
[18:12] <daftykins> seems like you've removed the fix option
[18:12] <mucus> wondering how i can prevent it from happening again.
[18:12] <mucus> it was fresh, so i didn't mind nuking it.
[18:13] <mucus> what i strongly believe happened was the admin whom i hired to setup the machine setup a vpn with open ports, someone just walked in
[18:13] <pedrodias> i did those commands, ..
[18:13] <daftykins> well we don't know how they got in, do we XD
[18:13] <pedrodias> nothing happened
[18:13] <daftykins> pedrodias: to which? second one would've given a link to paste here
[18:13] <pedrodias> it said 0 upgraded, 0 new install 0 to remove and 1 not upgrade
[18:14] <daftykins> pedrodias: it must've already been installed then.
[18:14] <pedrodias> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9706567/
[18:14] <meoblast001> hi.. i followed these instructions to create a LUKS device, and now i can't even write to the drive. http://www.cyberciti.biz/hardware/howto-linux-hard-disk-encryption-with-luks-cryptsetup-command/
[18:14] <daftykins> pedrodias: it's still plugged in, right? :P
[18:14] <bubbasaures> mucus, There is #ubuntu-server don't yah know.
[18:14] <pedrodias> yup
[18:15] <mucus> no!
[18:15] <daftykins> pedrodias: hmm, no sign - must be toast.
[18:15] <pedrodias> i dont believe that, lol
[18:15] <pedrodias> you must have seen that im stubborn, lol
[18:16] <daftykins> pedrodias: stubborn but without the skillset.
[18:16] <daftykins> = not my problem i'm afraid :) you can replug it into all the ports you like and try running the above, but it's toast
[18:17] <pedrodias> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9706592/
[18:17] <Zer000> I'm using ubuntu 14.10 and after an update (that upgraded the kernel) it wouldn't boot. I have to select the previous kernel version from the boot menu every time. That's a bit annoying, what do I do?
[18:17] <pedrodias> daftykins: that comes with time ... its my second day with this
[18:17] <daftykins> yeah, my point is wanting it to work isn't going to unbreak it
[18:17] <bubbasaures> Zer000, Did you install a proprietary graphic driver from the manufacture?
[18:19] <pedrodias> daftykins: lets get points made .... first, it recognizes, right ? ... second, will i be unable to format it or partition it with some aplic ?
[18:19] <oeuvre> http://i.minus.com/ibfudUMBs4gbmp.gif
[18:19] <daftykins> pedrodias: lol. the kernel sees a device plugged in. parted sees no device with no partitions.
[18:20] <pedrodias> mmm ok
[18:20] <pedrodias> so, it recognizes something plugged, but not sure what, is that it ?
[18:20] <daftykins> pedrodias: look at the first paste, of dmesg. /dev/sdc is detected
[18:20] <oeuvre> pbx turns my floppy disk into a solid state drive
[18:20] <oeuvre> hence why i always transfer quickly
[18:21] <daftykins> sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
[18:21] <vlt> meoblast001: What does "write to the drive" mean?  Could you suggest a search to run?
[18:21] <oeuvre> RIP
[18:21] <pantato> I've tried several different approaches
[18:21] <meoblast001> vlt: i mount it through dolphin, try to copy files to it, or create a file, and all of those operations are unavailble
[18:22] <daftykins> pedrodias: you have two choices 1) call a priest or other holy person. have it read its' last writes (see what i did there) or 2) boot into Windows and confirm via diskmgmt.msc that it sees nothing too
[18:22] <bubbasaures> pantato, just the mode and your release and or ubuntu or linux would be where I started.
[18:22] <pedrodias> daftykins, she cant be dead, i love her ... she has 2 daughters to raise ... i will not give up on her .. CLEAR
[18:22] <bubbasaures> model*
[18:22] <vlt> meoblast001: Looks like permission problems to me. Can you "sudo touch file"?
[18:22] <MrSavage> I did some group add and grp owning a folder, how can i refresh the settings without relogging?
[18:22] <MrSavage> I have a process I don't want to close
[18:23] <meoblast001> vlt: hm.. yeah.. this is weird though.. my other encrypted device can just be mounted and accessed by anyone
[18:23] <meoblast001> this one does not give me that same luxary
[18:23] <Bombo> someone has the same issue: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/734584/nvidia-driver-is-unable-to-load/ (but that did not help me)
[18:24] <pedrodias> daftykins on windows it said the device was working fine, but no mount, and it would not show up
[18:24] <daftykins> pedrodias: yeah, identical story.
[18:24] <daftykins> pedrodias: i would wager it came up with nothing in diskmgmt.msc then
[18:25] <daftykins> it is, as Monty Python would say, an ex-parrot.
[18:25] <bubbasaures> pantato, key words are sometimes the answer, have you tried the guest account or a live to see if this is the same there?
[18:26] <bubbasaures> it did work is all
[18:26] <pantato> bubbasaures, that's an idea. I'll try a live boot
[18:26] <bubbasaures> daftykins, No he's pining.
[18:27] <pedrodias> daftykins: i will make this my project... i will not give up until ive tried everything... this was made in Chine, it has to work somehow !!! :D
[18:28] <daftykins> other than the different USB port thing, that's it
[18:28] <snwr34p3r> someone around able to help tried last couple days no luck myself i have 3 screens 1 vga to pcie 1 vga to MB 1 dvi to MB, ubuntu 14.10 display sees all 3 screens but only 2 will turn on at any given time if i turn 1 off the one not working will turn on. how can i get all 3 to work
[18:29] <pedrodias> well guys, going to try and tune my linux a bit
[18:29] <pedrodias> is there any preset Mac look for Xubuntu ?
[18:29] <pedrodias> it looks funny ...
[18:30] <bubbasaures> pedrodias, Other OS looks in linux are not all that common, do you see them doing this for linux?
[18:31] <pedrodias> bubbasaures: i dont well with fashion ... if no one does it, i love it
[18:32] <pedrodias> so i want to mimic OS look ..
[18:32] <pedrodias> lol
[18:32] <Zer000> bubbasaures, No I didn't install any proprietary drivers.
[18:32] <MonkeyDust> pedrodias  try cairo-dock
[18:33] <pedrodias> thats something to put aplics on a low bar, right ?
[18:33] <pedrodias> that is cool ... let me try it
[18:33] <bubbasaures> Zer000, Thanks, so maybe telling us what the graphic hardware is might help.
[18:34] <hecatae> what's the best snes emulator available for utopic?
[18:34] <Zer000> it's amd - an HD7850
[18:34] <bubbasaures> Zer000, Really we just need a little m ore details, it would not boot is not really anything without details, like exactly what you see.
[18:35] <Zer000> bubbasaures, the problem is it hangs on the graphical boot screen and I can't switch to the console
[18:35] <Zer000> is there a log?
[18:35] <Zer000> log file*
[18:36] <bubbasaures> Zer000, try running sudo apt-get -f install  I've had two instances lately on kernel upgrades that finished actually did not.
[18:36] <DeaDSouL> I wonder what desktop do guys use on ubuntu ? unity? gnome? kde? xfce? lxde? openbox? other?
[18:36] <mucus> xfce
[18:36] <DeaDSouL> do you guys are using *
[18:36] <DeaDSouL> lol..
[18:37] <Zer000> bubbasaures, ok thanks
[18:37] <DeaDSouL> I wonder what desktop you guys are using on ubuntu ? unity? gnome? kde? xfce? lxde? openbox? other?
[18:37] <bubbasaures> Zer000, Just a test is all.
[18:37] <Zer000> eh no that did nothing
[18:37] <bekks> DeaDSouL: Mostly, just server :)
[18:37] <DeaDSouL> bekks: what do you use your server for?
[18:37] <Bombo> ok i found out there is /usr/lib/nvidia-331/xorg/nvidia_drv.so which needs to be in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ and for some reason it isn't copied there, when i link it there, xorg works too
[18:38] <Zer000> I will reboot and try to take a video of the boot process, I think I can switch it to the text output before it freezes on the graphical boot screen
[18:38] <bubbasaures> Zer000, when it hangs what do you see just a black screen?
[18:38] <Zer000> bubbasaures, no I see the ubuntu logo
[18:38] <bubbasaures> !text | Zer000
[18:38] <pbx> DeaDSouL, unity. despite being old and cranky i don't hate it
[18:39] <DeaDSouL> pbx: doesn't it get laggy ?
[18:39] <Zer000> sweet, ty
[18:39] <Zer000> I'll be back I guess
[18:39] <Arp> hey total noob here
[18:39] <Arp> trying to add verdana font
[18:39] <bubbasaures> Arp, all in one post please.
[18:39] <Arp> and terminal gives me this eula and how to I accept it?
[18:40] <pantato> bubbasaures, on a guest account the device appears on the desktop gui, but is just says "disconnected"
[18:40] <theadmin> Arp: Scroll through it with arrow keys, then after you finish reading, press Tab to switch to the yes/no bar and, again, use arrows to select the option -- after that, press Enter.
[18:41] <capocchio> salve
[18:41] <Arp> oh lol thanks
[18:41] <capocchio> !list
[18:41] <pantato> bubbasaures, also it says "realtek" by it. Does that make sense?
[18:41] <al_nz1> how would I generate a file containing $0$0$0$1 $0$0$0$2 .... $9$9$9$9 ?
[18:42] <MonkeyDust> al_nz1  the people in #bash can tell you how to do that
[18:42] <bubbasaures> pantato, realtek is a company yes, this info from me was just a test to see where this nic works, not really an area I'm familiar with is all.
[18:42] <theadmin> al_nz1: With what programming language?
[18:43] <pedrodias> MonkeyDust: It is great, thank you very much (Y)
[18:43] <pantato> it's just strange because it's a netgear NIC, not a realtek. My onboard is a realtek
[18:43] <pbx> DeaDSouL, this is a fast machine (1.9GHz i5) but no, performance is realtime for my purposes
[18:44] <al_nz1> MonkeyDust: ta
[18:44] <bubbasaures> pantato, Companies use others hardware.
[18:44] <pantato> wow. Since I logged into a guest account it shows up on ifconfig -a now...
[18:45] <bubbasaures> pantato, Have you rebooted at all since this happened?
[18:45] <pantato> no not yet, i'm still grabbing the ubuntu iso for future use
[18:46] <pantato> do you know the best way of making this device the default NIC?
[18:47] <bubbasaures> pantato, We have no idea how you messed with this, it may be a log out or reboot fixes it, be really careful messing with stuff.
[18:47] <Caleb--> i have lots of flac music on my file server which i'd like to index (searchable media library), and be able to access from within my LAN, and also stream over the internet. what are my options here? i heard about MPD, but looks like it's for playing music on a remote computer
[18:47] <pantato> bubbasaures, Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. Yes I have rebooted a ton of times
[18:47] <pantato> it was  logging into the guest account that fixed it
[18:47] <bubbasaures> cool thanks
[18:47] <pantato> i thought you meant since i logged into the guest account
[18:48] <bubbasaures> pantato, That fix makes no sense, but heh it's working. ;)
[18:48] <pantato> bubbasaures, it could be because this MOBO is starting to fade. That's why I'm wanting to use this NIC. The onboard was giving me issues
[18:49] <bubbasaures> pantato, Ah, well hold on tight when the storm starts.
[18:50] <bubbasaures> Caleb--, Stream to whom?
[18:51] <pantato> :(
[18:51] <pantato> this box has been good to me
[18:51] <Caleb--> bubbasaures, stream to myself. that is, be able to listen to the music from my android device
[18:51] <Bombo> hmmm are there logs for dpkg? i mean e.g. i do 'dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-331' and want to see more debug on why it fails
[18:52] <mucus> how do i remove gnome?
[18:52] <bubbasaures> Caleb--, Thanks
[18:52] <mucus> sudo apt-get uninstall gnome3 ?
[18:53] <Novice201y> Hi. I installed Java and it prints correct version in terminal, but in Firefox I see no plugin?
[18:54] <bubbasaures> Novice201y, Not in addons, have you closed the browser since installing? How did you install jave and what did you install.
[18:55] <bubbasaures> java*
[18:55] <Caleb--> bubbasaures, thanks for what? :>
[18:55] <bubbasaures> !java | Novice201y here is the wiki to peruse
[18:57] <Zer000> bubbasaures, here's what happens when I boot http://imgur.com/a/FFZ98
[18:57] <pantato> Is there any software out there I can use to check the health of my mobo?
[18:59] <pedrodias> EVERYONE: is there any reason why when using Chromium, Youtube only seems to diplay about 2 or 3 minutes from the clips, and then it shows the funny face with its toungue out ?
[18:59] <pedrodias> Youtube is best on Firefox ?
[19:00] <bubbasaures> Zer000, Beyond me in that context, my guess is a kernel crash, just a guess though.
[19:00] <Novice201y> bubbasaures: I istalled it via Software Center.
[19:00] <bekks> pedrodias: Use Chrome, for having a recent Flash implementation.
[19:00] <sasa> ciao
[19:00] <sasa> !list
[19:01] <pedrodias> bekks, i dont seem to find Chrome for Xubuntu
[19:01] <sasa> !alis
[19:01] <Arp> hey how can I turn my pannel mac style?
[19:01] <Arp> and graphics as well
[19:01] <bubbasaures> Novice201y, And you have restarted firefox and looked in the addons, read the posts please.
[19:01] <Novice201y> bubbasaures: Sorry. Reading.
[19:01] <BluesKaj> pedrodias,  try chrome instead, it's flash plugin is builtin and is better than the pepper flash that chromium uses
[19:02] <bekks> BluesKaj: Chromium does not have a PepperFlash plugin.
[19:02] <bubbasaures> chromium has no flash built in now
[19:02] <bekks> BluesKaj: Thats the main difference from the point of view of a user :)
[19:02] <pedrodias> Can someone show me where i can find Chrome for Xubuntu ?
[19:03] <BluesKaj> bekks, well it is the recommended flash plugin ...didn't say it was built in
[19:03] <bekks> pedrodias: https://www.google.de/chrome/browser/desktop/
[19:03] <bekks> BluesKaj: you said chromium uses a buil†in flash, which is untrue.
[19:04] <Novice201y> bubbasaures: I install openjdk7 jre, restarted Firefox, but nothing new in Addons.
[19:04] <pantato> anyone else having connection issues with us.archive.ubuntu.com repository?
[19:04] <BluesKaj> read my post again, bekks
[19:04] <bekks> Novice201y: you have to install the browser plugin too, the JRE is not enough.
[19:07] <John[Lisbeth]> I am having trouble identifying to freenode automatically using xchat
[19:11] <bubbasaures> John[Lisbeth], Your registered?
[19:11] <John[Lisbeth]> yes my nick is registered
[19:13] <bubbasaures> John[Lisbeth], go to the edit in the first popup and login as default and your password in password.
[19:13] <bubbasaures> login is default to be more clear
[19:13] <John[Lisbeth]> I think it is an issue with freenode
[19:14] <John[Lisbeth]> I have tried to register this nick like five times and freenode keeps saying it is unregistered
[19:14] <bubbasaures> I doubt it 1000's use xcaht
[19:14] <mucus> used /ns register password email ?
[19:14] <bubbasaures> John[Lisbeth], Maybe a visit to #freenode might help
[19:16] <bubbasaures> John[Lisbeth], I do have a pause in my sign in though in hexchat to be sure I'm logged in when I come on, that may be the issue, just guessing however
[19:16] <pedrodias> bekks: just installed it. Looks legit. gonna try it out, but thank you very much also ;)
[19:17] <nukeu666> im geting the "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages" error and have no idea which is the proken package, please help
[19:18] <bubbasaures> nukeu666, run a update and upgrade in the terminal and pastebin all of it
[19:18] <MonkeyDust> nukeu666  sudo apt-get update -f
[19:18] <bubbasaures> -f install?
[19:19] <MonkeyDust> nukeu666  what bubbasaures says, i mistyped
[19:19] <Bombo> daftykins: i fixed it. ;)
[19:19] <bubbasaures> nukeu666, THey meant sudo apt-get -f install
[19:19] <daftykins> Bombo: still surprised there was an issue to be honest :)
[19:20] <Bombo> daftykins: it really was an update-alternatives issue, this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/289459/nvidia-drivers-installed-but-not-used/308504#308504
[19:20] <Bombo> daftykins: i read this but ignored it, thought it would be about i386
[19:21] <daftykins> Bombo: i have never seen update-alternatives have any relevance to driver setups 0o
[19:21] <daftykins> you must've done something with it before
[19:21] <Novice201y> Thanks for help!
[19:21] <bubbasaures> John[Lisbth], take a look here some info that might help. http://askubuntu.com/questions/6332/prevent-xchat-from-trying-to-join-channels-until-i-have-been-authenticated
[19:21] <Bombo> daftykins: but i see the postinst script in the nvidia.deb, it runs update-alternative command, i run than manually, no error
[19:21] <nukeu666> bubbasaures, MonkeyDust , i did an update and force upgrade, it doesnt give any warnings - http://pastebin.com/Zf8R4zHb
[19:22] <Bombo> daftykins: then i added --verbose and see 'update-alternatives: automatic updates of /etc/alternatives/x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf are disabled; leaving it alone update-alternatives: to return to automatic updates use 'update-alternatives --auto x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf''
[19:22] <Bombo> daftykins: so i did that ;)
[19:22] <bubbasaures> nukeu666, That command crashes here, is this a canonical ubuntu release?
[19:22] <bubbasaures> and it is wrong
[19:23] <daftykins> Bombo: yay. i guess maybe i can get highlighted less now today \o/
[19:23] <Bombo> daftykins: it was just about links. it creates links into /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
[19:23] <Bombo> daftykins: put your sunglasses on ;)
[19:24] <bubbasaures> nukeu666, run sudo apt-get -f install if this does not fix this run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and pastebin all of that.
[19:24] <bubbasaures> all the terminal we want to see basically nukeu666
[19:24] <Bombo> now i can finally find sleep, good night ;)
[19:26] <bubbasaures> nukeu666, Beyond this are you familiar with held packages and partial upgrades, you mention a forced?
[19:26] <dynosis> hi, i'd like to know if i can create a partition /home after having installed ubuntu??
[19:26] <bubbasaures> dynosis, You want your home in a partition right?
[19:27] <dynosis> yes , thank you
[19:27] <horace2> Hello, I am having issues installing applications
[19:27] <bubbasaures> dynosis, use nicks here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving

[19:28] <dynosis> thank you i will chk it out now
[19:28] <nukeu666> bubbasaures, http://pastebin.com/9uQau0m6
[19:28] <bubbasaures> nukeu666, You are eol, you need to run 14.04, 14.10, or 12.04 for support.
[19:29] <horace2> http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/us.archive.ubuntu.com.html
[19:29] <horace2> That server is down
[19:29] <horace2> What can I do about it ?
[19:29] <bekks> horace2: Nothing. Just use another mirror.
[19:30] <horace2> bekks: It's not by efault, there multiple mirrors?
[19:30] <horace2> bekks: If not, how can I find and add new mirrows?
[19:30] <bekks> horace2: Even if it is, you cant do anything about it :)
[19:30] <horace2> s/efault/default/
[19:31] <horace2> bekks: I want to install software
[19:31] <bekks> horace2: Just select another mirror in synaptic, e.g.
[19:31] <horace2> bekks: How ?
[19:31] <horace2> I am not using synaptic
[19:32] <horace2> I am using 'apt-get'
[19:32] <bekks> horace2: So use the software center and select another mirror in the settings.
[19:32] <horace2> bekks: Edit sources ?
[19:32] <horace2> I was reading a wiki earlier..
[19:32] <bekks> horace2: No editing needed - unless you are on a server.
[19:32] <horace2> I am Ubuntu desktop
[19:33] <mucus> i am a medieval man
[19:33] <bekks> horace2: So just start the software center and select another mirror in the settings.
[19:34] <horace2> I start the Ubuntu software
[19:34] <xchatter> Could anybody please help me? I want to play the Java applet on www.partypoker.com but apparently my Java version is not correct or Java is not set up.
[19:34] <horace2> I ahve to go back because I wanted to install Chromiou pepper flash.. it showed me how
[19:34] <bekks> horace2: Chromium has no pepper flash at all.
[19:35] <bekks> horace2: If you want PepperFlash, install Chrome.
[19:35] <horace2> No no
[19:35] <horace2> When I went and google for chromium flash, it showed me how to accusess the sources
[19:35]  * horace2 repeat that
[19:35] <bekks> horace2: Chromium has no flash.
[19:36] <ovrflw0x> suddenly fonts changed in 14.10 they look much slimmer and hazy now what to do?
[19:36] <bekks> horace2: And there are no sources for "PepperFlash", it is closed source.
[19:36] <horace2> bekks: Okay, when I look up the wiki
[19:36] <horace2> Blame the person who wrote the wiki
[19:36] <bekks> horace2: PRovide the link please.

[19:37] <radi> hi guys, can you recommend me any working software to make a bootable windows usb in ubuntu
[19:38] <ovrflw0x> suddenly fonts changed in 14.10 they look much slimmer and hazy now what to do? this happened after i removed lock with "rm"
[19:38] <bubbasaures> radi, easy, make the usb a ntfs give it a boot flag and extract the iso to it.
[19:38] <radi> ok i tried that
[19:38] <horace2> bekks: ?
[19:38] <radi> but my system fails to format it
[19:39] <bekks> horace2: And where's the problem now in selecting another mirror in the dropdown box named "Download from:"?
[19:39] <bubbasaures> radi, use nicks here, that is a confusing description.
[19:39] <ovrflw0x> how can i "reset" fonts in ubuntu 14.10? bekks ?
[19:39] <andlabs> Hi. X.org has allocated roughly 1GB of RAM. If I run Firefox it seems to go down, but as soon as I kill Firefox it allocates all that memory again, 5MB at a time. What the hell is going on and how do I force X.org to free all that memory it doesn't need?
[19:39] <ovrflw0x> to defaul;t
[19:39] <ovrflw0x> default
[19:39] <radi> bubbasaures, gparted formats it but it puts an exclamation mark and i cant mount the drive
[19:39] <horace2> [14:34] <horace2> I ahve to go back because I wanted to install Chromiou pepper flash.. it showed me how
[19:40] <bekks> horace2: And where's the problem now in selecting another mirror in the dropdown box named "Download from:"?
[19:40] <bubbasaures> radi, an exclamation mark where?
[19:40] <andlabs> no scratch that it's now > 1GB
[19:40] <horace2> bekks: It doesn't show that...
[19:40] <radi> next to the partition
[19:40] <bubbasaures> !who | radi
[19:40] <DrSlony> Hi, what is the package name of the gtk2-engines program in ubuntu's package manager?
[19:40] <radi> bubbasaures next to partition
[19:40] <bekks> horace2: So take a look at the screenshot in the link you provided.
[19:41] <DrSlony> I'm guessing its called gtk-engines or gtk2-engines
[19:41] <bubbasaures> radi, Make aq new partition table
[19:41] <DrSlony> someone please check
[19:41] <radi> bubbasaures my format procedure was make new partition table, it automatically makes the drive free of partitions, but when i make the ntfs one, iit happens
[19:41] <andlabs> DrSlony: is the binary called gtk2-engines?
[19:41] <radi> bubbasaures strange thing is it can format it just fine to fat32
[19:42] <DrSlony> andlabs i dont know what its called in ubuntu, try search for "engines"
[19:42] <bubbasaures> radi, No idea myself never had this happen, others here kn ow command partitioning.
[19:42] <DrSlony> andlabs it should be the main "engines" package, not the subpackages like clearlooks, murrine, etc
[19:42] <radi> bubbasaures i tried almost everything and i am really out of ideas
[19:42] <horace2> bekks: I maxmise and minmise, the 'Edit' menu, did not appear
[19:43] <bubbasaures> radi, A picture might help posted at imagebin
[19:43] <horace2> I hover my mouse over the top bar.. nothing happen
[19:43] <horace2> I don't what happen, maybe having Dual screens is a problem
[19:43] <andlabs> DrSlony: you are asking about a program
[19:44] <andlabs> is the program itself called gtk2-engines
[19:44] <bubbasaures> radi, the other question would be what about other partition types?
[19:44] <andlabs> is that what yout ype at the command line?
[19:44] <horace2> bekks: What do I do next ?
[19:44] <radi> bubbasaures, would running under mint be a problem, since i reinstalled the pc, but mint is based on ubuntu afaik
[19:45] <bubbasaures> radi, Here yes no support. ;)
[19:45] <bekks> horace2: Access the edit menu, select software sources, and change the mirror.
[19:45] <bubbasaures> !mint | radi
[19:45] <DrSlony> andlabs you don't run this manually, its a gtk2 widget engine used by gtk2 programs. Please try sudo apt-cache search (or find?) engines, and see what the main gtk2-engines or gtk-engines or similar package is called
[19:45] <DrSlony> your help will benefit other ubuntu users
[19:45] <horace2> In what tab
[19:45] <horace2> "Ubuntu Software'?
[19:45] <horace2> Oh, I see
[19:46] <radi> bubbasaures only reason i changed is because i thought it would work, though its giving the same issues
[19:46] <Sbur> How do I test if my DVD player has a problem?  I've been trying to burn a video DVD of late with no success.  I had been succeeding before.
[19:46] <horace2> bekks: No round robbin?
[19:46] <bubbasaures> radi, If I continued to help you we would both be yelled at.
[19:46] <bekks> horace2: You can edit that later on.
[19:47] <bekks> horace2: Just select another mirror (I will not say that again), to finally get things done :)
[19:47] <radi> bubbasaures, ok fine have a good day/night thx for everything
[19:47] <bubbasaures> radi, Bets of luck. ;)
[19:47] <bubbasaures> best*
[19:48] <Sbur> Can someone tell me how to diagnose my DVD burner?
[19:48] <bekks> Sbur: What do you need to "diagnose"?
[19:48] <bubbasaures> Sbur, Describe the issue for help
[19:48] <horace2> Alright, much better, I don't use Ubuntu desktop very often, Ubuntu support most of my hardware very well
[19:49] <horace2> bekks: You say later, can you explain ?
[19:49]  * horace2 don't know anything about APT
[19:49] <nicola__> -Acdtrux
[19:50] <andlabs> meh the leak isn't an issue now
[19:50] <Sbur> bekks: I'm trying to burn a video DVD with flv files.  I have used DVD styler in the past to do the same thing, but it, k3b, brasero and ... what was the name of the other program ... don't seem to work any more
[19:50] <bekks> horace2: I told you four time what to do. You even have a link containing screenshots.
[19:50] <DrSlony> andlabs any luck?
[19:50] <bekks> Sbur: Define "doesnt seem to work" please.
[19:50] <horace2> I install the program that i wanted, I ask if there is round a robin ?
[19:51] <horace2> You said that is later ?
[19:51] <Sbur> bekks: When the computer boots, the light on the DVD blinks like it should.  When I use something to burn a DVD, it doesn't light up at all and the burn process hangs
[19:51] <DrSlony> Sbur use cdrecord from the command line and look for the reason
[19:51] <bekks> Sbur: Did you try to burn a stock data cd/dvd using k3b?
[19:51] <bekks> Oruse cdrecord
[19:52] <andlabs> DrSlony: oh I misunderstood your initial question
[19:52] <andlabs> but now I'm not sure what you're tryingto find out
[19:52] <andlabs> what are you trying to find out
[19:52] <DrSlony> andlabs im trying to find out what the gtk2-engines package is called in ubuntu.
[19:52] <andlabs> there is no single gtk2-engines package
[19:52] <andlabs> why?
[19:53] <DrSlony> can you pastebin the results of apt-cache searching for gtk2-engines and gtk-engines ?
[19:53] <Sbur> bekks: a stock data ... you mean did I try to burn the video as simple data rather than video?  Not recently.  But as I said, I have used DVD styler before and it did successfully  burn the video DVD
[19:53] <DrSlony> why - for the benefit of ubuntu users who want to compile RawTherapee.
[19:53] <andlabs> oh wait
[19:53] <andlabs> I see
[19:53] <andlabs> there is a gtk2-engines theme
[19:53] <andlabs> er
[19:53] <andlabs> package
[19:53] <andlabs> ...
[19:53] <unopaste> andlabs you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[19:53] <bekks> Sbur: No. I mean "did you try to burn a stock data cd/dvd", not "some video dvd stuff".
[19:54] <Sbur> not recently, but before ... a while back, yes
[19:54] <horace2> So, if  server fails? I have to go to software sources to change ?
[19:54] <Sbur> bekks: Not recently, but before, yes... but a while back
[19:54] <andlabs> and there goes my desire to help any future people here, congratulations DrSlony
[19:54] <bekks> Sbur: So try it now.
[19:55] <andlabs> DrSlony: what does rawtherapee want
[19:55] <horace2> Also, I have another issue, I am using 'keychain' to help manage SSH-AGENT
[19:55] <Sbur> bekks: And "cdrecord" sais "no tracks specified.  Need at least one"
[19:55] <horace2> Keychain is not asking me for my passphrase
[19:56] <DrSlony> andlabs thank you
[19:56] <horace2> When I 'ssh-add', the same location, it ask for my passphrase
[19:56] <andlabs> it wants 'thank you'?
[19:56] <Sbur> bekks: Are flv files from youtube normally ok for burning a video DVD?
[19:56] <andlabs> DrSlony: what does rawtherapee want
[19:56] <DrSlony> andlabs your question is invalid
[19:56] <andlabs> well ok then
[19:56] <bekks> Sbur: If you convert them on the fly while burning, sure.
[19:57] <Sbur> bekks: "on the fly" means what and how do I do that?
[19:57] <bekks> Sbur: You dont have to that, because, in first instance, please just test burning a data dvd.
[19:58] <horace2> bekks: You use keychain before? Can you help me ?    For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in
[19:59] <Apachez> Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later.
[19:59] <Apachez> and yes I refuse to install backdoored software from adobe on this box
[20:00] <horace2> I keep trying... I can't get keycain to work
[20:00] <bekks> Apachez: Contact the author of that PDF and tell him/her your concerns, as well as politely asking wether they can change their entire workflow for not depending on Adobe's solutions anymore.
[20:00] <horace2> !paste ?
[20:00] <horace2> !pastebin
[20:01] <horace2> I have to many FFx windows open... brb
[20:02] <Apachez> bekks: except for that, there is no workaround in the ubuntu document viewer to bypass that shit? I know sumatra pdf does some magic to bypass that
[20:02] <Apachez> and sumatra pdf is open sourced
[20:02] <danishanish> how do you get a log of deleted packages?
[20:02] <Apachez> however I lack the knowledge to take that piece of code and merge it with ubuntu document viewer
[20:02] <bekks> Apachez: It's not a fault of the document viewer.
[20:02] <bekks> Apachez: The problem already arises when producing that PDF.
[20:04] <Apachez> well I know that but the document viewer could do the same bypass as sumatra pdf viewer does
[20:04] <Apachez> or at least I hoped that the ubuntu document viewer could...
[20:04] <Apachez> so noone else in here who have a solution other than whining on the one creating that pdf file?
[20:04] <Apachez> which I will, trust me :)
[20:05] <_DB> hey guys I have windows 8

[20:21] <MonkeyDust> dynosis  you mean information on how to use them?
[20:21] <shuman> dynosis: man chmod
[20:21] <nukeu666> dynosis, type man chmod
[20:22] <dynosis> yes and also a list of commands
[20:22] <Novice201y> Hi. How to check under which user web server is running?
[20:22] <shuman> dynosis: and then man man
[20:22] <MonkeyDust> Novice201y  whoami
[20:22] <Novice201y> Novice201y: But it may be not me.

[20:22] <dynosis> you mean go to terminal and enter man man ,etc
[20:23] <shuman> yes
[20:23] <dynosis> thank you
[20:23] <squinty> dynosis:  or just type in  man chmod  in your web browser   should get lots of hits
[20:23] <Novice201y> nukeu666: It's www-data. Thanks!
[20:24] <dynosis> also, i believe there books  i can buy for lists of commands??
[20:24] <nukeu666> dynosis, http://www.tldp.org/ helped me staritng out
[20:24] <DJones> !terminal | dynosis The bots links also have quite a bit of info on using the command line,
[20:24] <daftykins> dynosis: consider doing the free Introduction to Linux course on www.edx.org
