[14:46] <daftykins> Wiz_KeeD: no you need both together i think
[14:46] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: {} represents each found dir
[14:47] <Fohlen> reisio: os is ubuntu 14.10 with latest firefox.
[14:47] <alumne1daw> 7x
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: mv is for move, -n is so you don't move 'x' into a potentially existing 'y'
[14:47] <Wiz_KeeD> ahhh, it's not regex is it? I would recognise it
[14:47] <daftykins> 14.10 ? you need to be in #ubuntu+1
[14:47] <alumne1daw> die motherfucker
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: \; is just to keep your shell from being confused
[14:47] <Wiz_KeeD> ah so it doesn't overwrite
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: not really no
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: right
[14:47] <Wiz_KeeD> kep shell from being confused? :D
[14:47] <pseudoprime> is rc.local guaranteed to execute after networking?
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: and then afterwards you can run find top/dir/ -type d -name 'x' again to make sure that scenario didn't manifest
[14:47] <usuari> hey
[14:47] <alumne1daw> die bitch
[14:47] <daftykins> alumne1daw: stop that please
[14:47] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: right, so find can grok its own syntax and bash can grok its own
[14:47] <daftykins> yay
[14:48] <Fohlen> reisio: router bug.
[14:48] <Fohlen> happens on all systems/pcs now.
[14:49] <reisio> Fohlen: yay
[14:49] <Wiz_KeeD> hmm that didn't seem to work properly
[14:49] <Wiz_KeeD> find ./ -type d -name 'src' -exec mv -n {} description \;
[14:50] <Wiz_KeeD> I assume I needed to pass description as string also?
[14:50] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: you want 'src' to become 'description'?
[14:50] <Wiz_KeeD> since it created a new one
[14:50] <Wiz_KeeD> yes reisio
[14:51] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: oh snap, that was a very wrong command
[14:51] <reisio> sorry man
[14:51] <Wiz_KeeD> :-s
[14:52] <REV> men
[14:52] <reisio> uh, you got a backup?
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> well thank Torvalds for git XD
[14:52] <REV> care chimba guevon
[14:52] <reisio> heheheh
[14:52] <REV> ctm
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> it's all in a git dir
[14:52] <reisio> hang on I'll do an actual test and give you the proper command
[14:52] <daftykins> !english | REV
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> so reverted
[14:52] <reisio> good good :)
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> thanks reisio !
[14:52] <Wiz_KeeD> also a mass move and a mass rmdir?  I have just installed ubuntu 14.04.1 amd64 in a notebook with "VGA Graphics SiS M672 FX + SiS 307ELV" and he resolution is vwery wrong. What do I do?
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> I bet he thought he was so smart reconnecting (they will never ban me)
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> reisio, same command to do rmdir (it's a safe one since it won't work for dirs with data int hem)
[14:59] <daftykins> Wiz_KeeD: lets stay on topic now please
[14:59] <Wiz_KeeD> daftykins, ok
[15:00] <daftykins> BlackFlag: it's unlikely you'll get a proper picture out of an old SiS adapter.
[15:00] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: probably -exec rmdir {} \;
[15:01] <reisio> Wiz_KeeD: although for multiple levels you'd probably have to run it more than once, probably a better solution to that, but I don't know it offhand
[15:01] <BlackFlag> In live usb (unetbootin methode) the resolution was not right, but was a little more proper.
[15:01] <Wiz_KeeD> hmm I rand something myself and it worked even though I was in another place...this doesn't look good
[15:02] <BlackFlag> was acceptable
[15:04] <mendax> how much do they goive me for selling plasma?
[15:04] <daftykins> BlackFlag: pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log of a live session and the installed version
[15:04] <reisio> mendax: $20?
[15:04] <kostkon> BlackFlag, have you tried to set it up in your display settings
[15:04] <mendax> wow
[15:04] <reisio> you do it for the free shirts, though
[15:04] <mendax> not even worth it
[15:04] <reisio> not, it's more for the feeling of helping, really
[15:04] <reisio> s/not/no/
[15:04] <reisio> though you do get a cup of apple juice
[15:05] <EiriksUbuntu> Hi everyone :)
[15:06] <BlackFlag> kostkon, I've just tried "xrandr -s 1280x800" and the outout was "Size 1280x800 not found in available modes"
[15:07] <EiriksUbuntu> how do i run shell scripts from the desktop (create an icon, to run it)
[15:08] <reisio> EiriksUbuntu: right click on desktop, create launcher, something like that?
[15:08] <EiriksUbuntu> yeah, that's the way it used to be, but now you can't do it (in unity)
[15:09] <kostkon> EiriksUbuntu, gnome 3 to be precise
[15:09] <kostkon> EiriksUbuntu, create a custom desktop file for that script, then move it to your desktop folder
[15:10] <spykesdark> ciao
[15:10] <kostkon> EiriksUbuntu, there are also apps in the software centre that allow you to easilyy create desktop files
[15:10] <spykesdark> !lista
[15:10] <OerHeks> EiriksUbuntu,  Right click the file you want a link to in your file manager. Select "Makelink" from the context menu. Move that link wherever you want it. & click it
[15:11] <EiriksUbuntu> OerHeks thank you, um can i just give it permission to execute a myscript.sh
[15:11] <ses1984> hey, i'm getting an error trying to run cheese, on 14.04 x64 http://paste.ubuntu.com/8403863/
[15:13] <OerHeks> EiriksUbuntu, if that script is exacutable +x then it should work
[15:17] <kaliSun> the solution was cntrl + L
[15:17] <kaliSun> i waas searching the home folder
[15:18] <kaliSun> cntrol + L = <location>

[15:18] <kaliSun> how could you guys miss that?
[15:18] <kaliSun> thanks for the help
[15:18] <daftykins> kaliSun: maybe you should ask for a refund
[15:19] <kaliSun> like one ubuntu guy once said... it sthe simple things that count
[15:19] <kaliSun> daftykins: its free
[15:19] <kaliSun> although i did buy a pint
[15:19] <daftykins> kaliSun: :D yeah that was the joke ;) anyway glad you got it working

[15:20] <kaliSun> cntrl +L = location sftp basics

[15:27] <acovrig> I'm trying to do some port forwarding in iptables, but it isn't working...
[15:28] <daftykins> acovrig: #ubuntu-server and #networking might be of use if nobody replies
[15:28] <acovrig> I'm trying to forward eth0's 2222 to 123.456.789.0:22 - the connection times out when connecting to eth0's public address, but I can ssh into 123.456.789.0:22 from this system
[15:28] <acovrig> daftykins, thanks
[15:28] <alexfu> i just installed a fresh copy of mysql and nothing outputs when i try to start the service. in addition, attempts to connect fail with `Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'`
[15:28] <kaliSun> networking
[15:29] <acovrig> alexfu, does /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock exist?
[15:29] <alexfu> acovrig: initially, no. i did touch /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock and still nothing
[15:30] <kaliSun> "internet realy chat" = this is not a chat channel lol.... gnight guys... thanks canonical dev team for all youre hard work Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is the shit.
[15:30] <acovrig> alexfu, it should auto-create it, how are you starting the mysql server?
[15:30] <daftykins> so glad that guy left.
[15:31] <alexfu> acovrig: i tried... start mysql, /etc/init.d/mysql start and service mysql start
[15:31] <acovrig> alexfu, try running mysqld -X as root (I believe)
[15:32] <alexfu> acovrig: still nothing
[15:32] <somsip> alexfu: how did you install it?
[15:33] <alexfu> somsip: apt
[15:33] <somsip> alexfu: you did 'apt-get install mysql-server'? And how do you start the service?
[15:33] <alexfu> not sure if this has anything to do with it, but i'm using a docker container.. i feel like that shouldnt have any effect though
[15:34] <alexfu> somsip: yes. and start mysql
[15:34] <somsip> alexfu: sudo service mysql start
[15:34] <alexfu> somsip: that doesnt work for me
[15:35] <somsip> alexfu: output or errors in /var/log/mysql/error.log?
[15:35] <EiriksUbuntu> OerHeks that worked like a charm, is there a way I can pin it to the launcher? it's job is to grab a webpage for offline use, this is very usefull for me
[15:36] <furtado> teste
[15:37] <EiriksUbuntu> furtado we read you
[15:37] <alexfu> somsip: i get no output from that command. here's the contents of the error.log -- http://pastebin.com/pk0pcvQ0
[15:39] <UnixBird> Hello Everyone, I need a little help for on a 1045 error phpmyadmin
[15:39] <vifino> Hey, i have a question, i want to build the latest kernel from torwalds/linux , do I have to do any changes to make it work in ubuntu?
[15:39] <vifino> Any specific options?
[15:40] <prajith> how to register for a new whatsapp account via yowsup?
[15:40] <reisio> vifino: there's a writeup on help.ubuntu.com for kernel copmiling
[15:40] <somsip> alexfu: so you've started a vanilla ubuntu image with an interactive shell, then installed mysql-server as described above? If not, please elaborate
[15:40] <alexfu> somsip: yep
[15:41] <alexfu> somsip: before mysql, i install apache and php
[15:41] <alexfu> *installed
[15:41] <vifino> reisio: Well, the pages i found always told me to use apt to get the sources, or go fetch the sources from the ubuntu git, not the torwalds/linux git
[15:41] <bazhang> http://askubuntu.com/questions/156280/1045-cannot-log-in-to-the-mysql-server vifino
[15:41] <somsip> alexfu: what image are you using?
[15:41] <vifino> bazhang: err
[15:41] <alexfu> somsip: ubuntu precise
[15:42] <ezio> for some reason my system my buddy's g++ isn't finding /usr/local/include
[15:42] <bazhang> whoops UnixBird , sorry vifino
[15:42] <ezio> but mind is
[15:42] <ezio> same make file same source
[15:42] <ezio> any idea?
[15:43] <somsip> alexfu: sorry, there's nothing obvious jumping out at me except the 'malformed SQL' errors in the log which are unexpected. Self-building a LAMP stack has been fine for me on Docker. I'm not sure what to suggest and am about done for the night anyway
[15:44] <alexfu> somsip: thanks anyway
[15:44] <vifino> reisio: I found the articles, though they want me to use their repos, not torwalds, can I just use torwalds instead?

[15:47] <dbugger> Hello guys. Netflix has just launched in Germany, but apparently has no support for Linux. I think I have read there are ways to configure the system to make it work, but they are in German and despite living here I do not speak the language that well to understand them. Can anyone help me?
[15:48] <reisio> dbugger: pipelight
[15:48] <daftykins> dbugger: in the news they're releasing native Linux support, so just be patient
[15:49] <reisio> yes, you can jimmy it with the right UA string and Chrome
[15:49] <OerHeks> dbugger, you can use netflix on ubuntu, use google chrome ( only) and read this http://www.webupd8.org/2014/08/how-to-enable-html5-playback-for.html ++ http://www.webupd8.org/2014/09/nss-updated-to-allow-native-html5.html
[15:49] <reisio> but if you don't want to deal with that, just use pipelight
[15:49] <dbugger> reisio: What is pipelight?
[15:49] <reisio> it's the least awful way to run the plugin via Wine
[15:49] <dbugger> daftykins: You mean you read that they are planning on releasing native Linux support. My free trial month started now, so I would like to do it asap...
[15:49] <reisio> there's a ppa, it might be called 'netflix-desktop' or something
[15:50]  * OerHeks never ever advises to use wine
[15:50] <reisio> dbugger: they actually already have, but it's a bit involved to get still
[15:50] <daftykins> dbugger: you should've waited :)
[15:51] <dbugger> reisio: can i pm you?
[15:51] <reisio> don't see why not
[15:51] <reisio> people who don't want to talk to people shouldn't be on a chat network :p

[15:53] <mibfrog> Hello, got a problem that is most likely very easy for you: Some files shall be moved from User B's home to User A's. However, whenever i try it, it says that i dont have permission and the file is read only. I want User B's home to be open to all users. Tried CHMOD 777 but for some reason its not working. I am logged as User A with root, what is the command from scratch so i can access and move stuff from B's Home in Unity/Gnome? Big
[15:53] <BlackFlag> daftykins, live session http://pastebin.com/3K4KjJ3V ***
[15:55] <daftykins> mibfrog: create a user group, add all users to that group and change user B's /home ownership to userB:group
[15:56] <hillary> my ubuntu 14.04 cannot connect to the internet using wired network but connect through wireless. What could be the issue
[15:56] <mibfrog> daftykins: cant i just give B's home ownership to the sudo group?
[15:57] <daftykins> mibfrog: not sure what you mean by sudo group
[15:58] <hillary> any help guys?
[15:58] <daftykins> BlackFlag: ok, live session uses the VESA driver whilst the install tries to use FBDEV resulting in poor resolution. you can try creating a simple /etc/X11/xorg.conf to force vesa usage, or research whether any SiS drivers exist for trusty. it's not going to run well under VESA though
[15:58] <daftykins> !patience | hillary
[15:58] <daftykins> hillary: identify the LAN adapter and check whether there are any issues with it
[15:58] <Jamples> hello?
[15:58] <mdev> have apps running and system is caching 16gigs of memory...anyway I can limit that
[15:58] <mdev> seems like it's heading to using 100% of my memory
[15:59] <reisio> Jamples: 'lo
[15:59] <daftykins> Jamples: greetings

[15:59] <Jamples> Hi guys, I need a hand getting ubuntu to run off of a USB memory stick, could anyone help me?
[15:59] <r4co0n> I'm trying to follow the upgrade guide from 13.10 -> 14.04 LTS on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/upgrade - Software Updater doesn't tell me about Ubuntu 14.04. Why?
[15:59] <mdev> buffers is using another 3.5 gigs
[15:59] <Jamples> I've followed the steps but gotten a random error message holding me up
[16:00] <Jamples> I'm a bit of a noob, I know, but I was hoping some smarty pantses here could give me a hand :)
[16:00] <daftykins> r4co0n: that page does nothing for me. have you run do-release-upgrade ?
[16:00] <daftykins> Jamples: best thing to do would be to share this error to the channel then
[16:00] <r4co0n> daftykins,  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade One shouldn't copy urls by hand sry
[16:01] <Jamples> daftykins: want me to paste the error log?
[16:01] <daftykins> Jamples: i don't, but for you to get help that's probably your best bet ;) also please address the channel as i will be leaving shortly
[16:02] <mibfrog> daftykins: alright, so i do "addgroup BFiles" and "adduser UserA BFiles" and then "sudo chown -R BFiles ~/home/B" ?
[16:02] <daftykins> Jamples: use paste.ubuntu.com
[16:02] <Jamples> daftykins: what's that?
[16:02] <daftykins> !paste | Jamples
[16:03] <r4co0n> daftykins, I just want the way that is documented there to work. Trying to show it to a computer illiterate.
[16:03] <daftykins> r4co0n: sorry, i deal with what works not something you find on a page
[16:03] <r4co0n> ubuntu.com
[16:03] <r4co0n> is YOUR page
[16:03] <Jamples> Hey guys, I have the iso set up on my USB stick, and I started the installation/demo/whatever thing, and it seems to work fine and reach 100%, but then I get an error. Here's the error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8404179/
[16:03] <Jamples> Any advice?
[16:04] <ceed^> Hi, I'm using Viber in Unity and it creates a floating icons instead of in the system tray (or whatever it's called these days). In Gnome it's created in the system tray. Why the difference?
[16:04] <r4co0n> i just install Debian, thanks a lot
[16:04] <daftykins> r4co0n: no, we are volunteers, we have no connection to Canonical.
[16:04] <daftykins> r4co0n: ok enjoy, goodbye
[16:05] <BlackFlag> Thanks! I will try it
[16:05] <daftykins> Jamples: don't ever use WUBI, we don't support it
[16:05] <Jamples> daftykins: what should I do, then?
[16:06] <daftykins> Jamples: boot directly from the USB flash drive and install alongside Windows or replace Windows
[16:06] <Jamples> daftykins: I just want to be able to boot ubuntu on my computer
[16:06] <daftykins> Jamples: sure, but WUBI is a way to install it, not boot
[16:06] <Persistance> Hi. Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:06] <Jamples> daftykins: okay, how do I boot it from my usb? How do I get it to shoot up in the BIOS menu as an option?
[16:07] <Jamples> daftykins: I see Windows 7 as an option, but it doesn't recognize the ubuntu on my flash drive
[16:07] <daftykins> Jamples: what kind of system is this? you should have a key you can press to get a one-time boot menu
[16:07] <Farva> I seem to be completely unable to figure out setting up a DNS for my teamspeak can some one please help me. I have set my SRV records  and A records in cloudflare-that didn't work. I tried setting it up without cloudflare in my server configs, that didn't work....I am going nuts here
[16:07] <daftykins> Jamples: no, BIOS do not read what is on boot media, they can only refer to boot devices being available.
[16:08] <daftykins> Farva: DNS is nothing to do with ubuntu support, contact your hosting provider
[16:08] <Jamples> daftykins: Not sure what you mean. How do I go from the ubuntu iso file to running ubuntu on my computer?
[16:08] <Farva> here is the problem dafty, It was working just fine until I set up a virtual ip address, assigned it to that, and then it broke
[16:09] <daftykins> Jamples: so you're using Windows right now, download Universal USB installer from pendrivelinux.com to put the ubuntu 14.04 ISO onto the flash drive, then boot the flash drive.
[16:09] <Persistance> Hi. Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:09] <Farva> I tried to set it back up the way it was and it wont go back. I have been to the end of all conversations with my host and with cloudflare, the problem is in my settings
[16:09] <Farva> daftykins: so it is in my ubuntu server settings some where I have something stopping the DNS from working
[16:09] <daftykins> Farva: reconfigure teamspeak to listen on the correct *real* IP then
[16:09] <Farva> I did
[16:09] <Farva> it still won't work...and it was working before
[16:10] <Jamples> daftykins: I've already done that. How do I "boot the flash drive"
[16:10] <Persistance> Hi. Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:10] <Farva> if you could remind me of the file locations where those setting are located for DNS, I can show you how I have it set
[16:11] <daftykins> Farva: test connect to your server by IP to rule out DNS
[16:11] <Jamples> daftykins: I seem to have everything set up other than that the option of ubuntu just doesn't show up in the bios menu
[16:11] <Persistance> Hi. Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:11] <daftykins> Jamples: you seem to have ignored the part where i asked what kind of system this is and said you should have a key to press to get a boot device menu
[16:11] <Farva> I can connect to the IP directly if that is what you mean, I just can't pull it up with nslookup or connect via dns
[16:11] <daftykins> !patience | Persistance
[16:12] <Jamples> daftykins: I have Windows 7, and I know, I press F1 to get to that menu
[16:12] <daftykins> Farva: so "nslookup yourdomain.tld" doesn't resolve to your server's IP? yep nothing to do with ubuntu then sorry.
[16:13] <kostkon> Persistance, why are you asking that
[16:13] <Jamples> daftykins: I've been to that menu and I didn't see anything but Windows 7 in it.
[16:13] <Farva> I understand that you are saying that, but I set it in Ubuntu so I don't know how that would not be related
[16:13] <Persistance> kostkon: need to know
[16:13] <daftykins> Jamples: i'm asking about the type of computer, laptop - desktop - custom build, factory build e.g. Dell, etc
[16:13] <daftykins> Farva: ubuntu does not tell the internet that your domain points to your IP
[16:13] <daftykins> Farva: you configure this with your domain provider
[16:13] <Jamples> daftykins: Oh, gotcha. Asus K53E
[16:13] <Persistance> I im trying to install Ultima Online with wine.. Sound works but mp3 music files are not played.. so i don't hear music........
[16:14] <Farva> I am working on a dedicated machine and my network is professionally hosted, I have been talking with them for over 3 weeks now trying to figure this out and it is all correct from their end
[16:14] <Persistance> Sy my queston: Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not?
[16:14] <daftykins> Jamples: ok so that's a laptop, likely pressing escape at boot or F8 will give a device menu. *or* press delete or F2 to get into the BIOS and move to the 'boot' or 'exit' page to see boot devices
[16:14] <markling> hello #ubuntu. Is this the right place to get help copying a /home folder from one user account to another?
[16:14] <Jamples> Oooh
[16:14] <Farva> I was just in here the other day and some one had me configure files in Ubuntu to point my DNS
[16:14] <suvrat> #pyhton
[16:14] <Jamples> I'll try that and be back in a minute
[16:15] <Jamples> daftykins: I'll try that and be back in a minute

[16:16] <daftykins> Farva: try looking through your "history" to see if you can find what they had you doing. i cannot assist with this though, maybe they had you play with bind9
[16:16] <Persistance> Sy my queston: Is ubuntu WINE package compiled with mp3 support or not? Wine doesn't play mp3 files..
[16:17] <MagicSpud> hello I just upgraded my cpu on a pc runnning ubuntu dual boot windows xp both 64 bits. but now some error message flashes just before the ubuntu splash screen how could I read that message once the system loads desktop¿?
[16:17] <kriskropd> ive forgotten what file I modified that enabled my ubuntu server to automatically run X11 under a user with a display attached - I wasn't using a display manager like gdm or lightdm - it was some simple file related to X11 to run as soon as the machine finished booting - ring a bell for anyone?
[16:17] <daftykins> Persistance: i asked you to stop repeating yourself.
[16:18] <Farva> daftykins: we never used bind9....I have done everything and it has been a month. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. I have no idea what to do, I have spoken with my host, my dns provider, ubuntu help, and teamspeak support numerous times...
[16:18] <daftykins> Farva: that was an example.
[16:19] <Farva> how do I see my history? I am very new to server management, we host a small gaming community and just got a dedi a month ago
[16:19] <daftykins> Farva: type "history"

[16:27] <poixninja> hey any help here with npm not doing ANYTHING?? at all
[16:27] <ajay_> heyy everyone
[16:27] <ajay_> howz u
[16:27] <vaskozl> we be good
[16:27] <ajay_> not bad
[16:27] <ajay_> wher frm u bro
[16:28] <teward> ajay_: do you have a technical Ubuntu support question?
[16:28] <vifino> poixninja: Go and ask in #node.js
[16:28] <ajay_> yup buddy
[16:28] <kriskropd> guys, we have #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[16:28] <ajay_> a developer q
[16:28] <poixninja> thanks
[16:28] <Farva> daftykins: well, it shows that I ran no commands on teamspeak to break it. I know what went wrong and I know it was when I added virtual IPs. The moment I did that, I lost the DNS to teamspeak-but once in a while it would decide to work after making any change almost to any setting (ubuntu or DNS settings)
[16:28] <ajay_> u wanna it
[16:28] <kriskropd> develoeprs ar enot here
[16:28] <ajay_> na
[16:28] <kriskropd> developers are not here*
[16:28] <ajay_> then where
[16:29] <kriskropd> you can ask in #ubuntu-irc
[16:29] <Farva> just last week I was here and some one jhutchins actually, had me change something in for my dns
[16:29] <kriskropd> they might be able to get you in touch with developers
[16:29] <ajay_> okie bro tell me about idm in ubuntu
[16:29] <ajay_> plz
[16:29] <ajay_> tell
[16:29] <ajay_> for idm in ubuntu
[16:29] <daftykins> Farva: i'm sorry but the way you're using technical terms show you don't understand the topic and i am leaving now so cannot help. maybe try and find him when he's active
[16:30] <Farva> daftykins: it was my etc/resolve.conf
[16:30] <Farva> no I don't understand! thats my problem
[16:30] <Farva> =[
[16:30] <vaskozl> btw, I fixed my problem by specifing 'sudo updatedb -e ~/Dropbox' simply 'sudo updatedb' does not work
[16:30] <vaskozl> I guess I'll set up a cron job
[16:30] <ajay_> internet download manager in ubuntu
[16:30] <Farva> isnt help for people that don't understand the topic?
[16:31] <kriskropd> ajay_: what about? or are you looking for software suggestions? :/
[16:31] <ajay_> ya buddy
[16:31] <kriskropd> ?? which is it?
[16:31] <ajay_> for idm software
[16:31] <vaskozl> actually, no still don't show up
[16:31] <vaskozl> damn it
[16:32] <ajay_> fast download manager
[16:32] <daftykins> ajay_: wget
[16:32] <kriskropd> ajay_: considering anyone can make their own and there are tons of download managers out there, this isn't a good channel for finding software - I use curl, some people like wget - if you want a gui, things get a lot less common pretty fast
[16:32] <Fuchs> ajay_: as in download managers? There are plenty, from simple stuff like wget to kget, fatrat, multistream, steadyflow ...
[16:32] <Fuchs> ajay_: without knowing your usecases, desktop environment in use etc. it is a tad bit hard to give good suggestions, though
[16:32] <chasep_work> I've found plenty of articles on how to INSTALL ubuntu on a chroot'ed system, but, I can't find anything about UPDATING. It's a VM template, so, I can't just boot it up and upgrade. I can, however, mount the disc, and then chroot. Besides mounting the root partition, mounting the boot partition, and the bind -o mounts (proc, dev, dev/pts, and sys), what else needs to be done?
[16:33] <ajay_> thanks bro
[16:33] <Farva> jhutchins: the other day you had my change some settings in my etc/resolve.conf to get my teamspeak DNS working and it worked for that day. now it is not working again. I am going crazy here, it has been a month and no one can seem to help me.  It was an Ubuntu issue. I found it in sudo nano /etc/hosts. The DNS was resolving to the virtual IP not the system IP.
[16:40] <AcidRain|2> ok, i guess what i need to do then is manually install iceS from a complete backup to ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[16:40] <AcidRain|2> can anyone assist me with this?
[16:40] <Farva> it is working again...for now...
[16:42] <Pici> AcidRain|2: what is "iceS"?
[16:44] <rrichmon> can anyone help me out? I found the ubuntu-accessibility irc channel, but it seems to be pretty dead
[16:45] <AcidRain|2> iceS is an mp3 audio streamer
[16:46] <puff> LTS means the support window is 3 years instead of 18 months, but do LTS releases support upgrading from one LTS to the next LTS, instead of having to step through all the releases in between?
[16:46] <jhutchins> Farva: Are you sure we changed resolv.conf?  That can get overwritten if you run DHCP.
[16:47] <allen> hello
[16:47] <Farva> jhutchins: I thought it was that by looking at my history, I found nothing in there after all
[16:47] <Farva> it was in my etc/host/cofig
[16:47] <allen> hey how can i switch my language with keyboard?
[16:47] <Farva> or sumthin
[16:47] <allen> ??
[16:47] <jhutchins> chasep_work: If you chroot and mount /proc /sys and /dev, you should be able to just run aptitude update && aptitude full-upgrade
[16:47] <Farva> and I found the problem and it should stay fixed now
[16:48] <jhutchins> chasep_work: follow the fixgrub instruction on how and what to mount.
[16:48] <Ahad> I am having trouble setting up USB in Virtualbox using win7
[16:48] <Ahad> help anyone ???
[16:48] <Farva> the hosts file was pointing to the virtual IP still, I had to point it toward my system IP
[16:48] <chasep_work> jhutchins: that's what I thought, but then I get errors about not being able to access various apt related files, as well as problems with generating boot images....
[16:48] <jhutchins> Farva: /etc/hosts - <IP>  <HOSTNAME>
[16:48] <chasep_work> jhutchins: okay, I'll look for that
[16:49] <Farva> yes, that was the one. I had the virtual IP in there, that was my problem I think. Teamspeak needs to run on the system IP is what I found out today
[16:49] <Farva> so fingers crossed that this fix sticks lol
[16:49] <jhutchins> Farva: Good, that sounds like progress.
[16:49] <Farva> =]
[16:50] <Ahad> I am having trouble setting up USB in Virtualbox using win7.. anyone?

[16:55] <gr1sha> hi, I feel a bit retard but I've lost my root password
[16:55] <gr1sha> I'm using a private key to ssh to my server so this might explain
[16:55] <gr1sha> is there anything I can do with the private key to change the root password?
[16:57] <jpds> gr1sha: Surely you're using sudo and not a root password?
[16:57] <AcidRain|2> the runtime linker is not able to find the libshout.so.3 file. As you have installed libshout from source, I would guess it will be down to a search path. The default prefix for our apps is /usr/local, so the libs will be in /usr/local/lib. If the runtime linker is not checking there then it won't find it, so check if /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, if not then add it (it's a text fil
[16:58] <gr1sha> jpds: I'm using sudo
[16:58] <jpds> gr1sha: So your user's password is what you've lost?
[16:58] <gr1sha> jpds: true
[16:59] <jpds> gr1sha: Short of booting into recovery mode, and resetting it there, not really.

[16:59] <rrichmon> Does anyone know how to automate accessibility tools in ubuntu? or can at least point me in the right direction? at the moment We are using Compiz config manager, but re adding the configuration each day is a hassle for the student
[16:59] <jhutchins> chasep_work: I meant to refer to the fixgrub stuff for what to mount so you effectively have a working system you can run apt-get/aptitude from.  With sudo of course.
[17:00] <jhutchins> chasep_work: Actually, sudo might be a little wierd in a chroot, I've never done that.

[17:08] <acovrig> I copied files with cp and forgot the preserve permissions and ownership flag, is there an easy way too fix that after the fact without copying the files again?

[17:09] <pbx> acovrig, it's possible you could fix it with rsync. why not just copy again?
[17:10] <rrichmon> jpds: Thank you, I will look into it.

[17:34] <starlight_> Hello
[17:35] <starlight_> I have created a new partition (ext4, primary) but I don't know how to set it to /home, could anyone help?
[17:37] <loki__> starlight_, edit fstab
[17:37] <smithzv_> Hi, I just upgraded to 14.04 and after installing proprietary NVidia drivers, my computer goes black (the backlight appears to be off and the pixels seem to be clear) after the Ubuntu boot/splash screen.  Is there an official guide on how to trouble shoot this?  So far I've tried:
[17:38] <smithzv_> 1. removing nvidia drivers.  The nouveau drivers will work then, but the performance is not very good
[17:39] <loki__> smithzv_, how you install drviers?
[17:39] <smithzv_> 2. installing many different available versions of the nvidia drivers, they all seem to suffer from the same affliction...
[17:39] <loki__> drivers *
[17:39] <smithzv_> loki__: I tried from the GUI and via apt-get/aptitude in the CLI
[17:40] <starlight_> loki__:  I have no idea what fstab is, or how I need to edit it
[17:40] <smithzv_> loki__: within Unity it is in the settings somewhere, it doesn't use jockey anymore, I think
[17:40] <loki__> strange, i did clear installation of ubuntu and set it to use nvidia drivers, it was stright forward.
[17:41] <loki__> smithzv_, you used additional drivers dialog?
[17:41] <smithzv_> loki__: I am up for trying anything that might work,  I just reinstalled for the third time about 2 hours ago and finally decided to ask for help
[17:41] <smithzv_> loki__: yes, from the dialog
[17:42] <loki__> starlight_, what video card you have?
[17:42] <starlight_> radeon 7950
[17:42] <starlight_> why are you asking about my videocard?
[17:42] <loki__> starlight_, why then you use nvidia drivers?
[17:42] <starlight_> i want to set a partition to /home
[17:42] <starlight_> you got me mixed up
[17:42] <starlight_> with someone else
[17:42] <smithzv_> loki__: confused
[17:42] <loki__> ar not you.
[17:43] <smithzv_> I have a GeForce, 330M
[17:43] <starlight_> you told me to edit fstab, but i have no idea what it is
[17:43] <starlight_> so  i can set a partition to /home
[17:43] <loki__> starlight_, you free to use fstab as keyword and read additional information
[17:46] <smithzv_> There are several threads on askubuntu about dealing with similar symptoms, but they are usually just uninstall and then reinstall.  This doesn't seem to be doin it for me, unfortunately....
[17:47] <loki__> smithzv_, you done upgrade after installation?
[17:47] <loki__> you did *
[17:48] <smithzv_> The latest time I did a few dist-upgrades at the command line, that would do it, correct?  other times I tried to install the drivers before I upgraded the system (some people suggest that, don't know why)
[17:49] <smithzv_> The first time I think I did the most obvious thing, upgraded from within unity on the first boot, then upgraded the drivers via the dialog
[17:50] <smithzv_> I also tried messing around with x-edgers, as some people suggested that might help, but no luck...
[17:51] <smithzv_> loki__: oh, and trying to boot into failsafeX doesn't work for some other reason, I'll get that error message if I can right now
[17:52] <zihin> s.a
[17:53] <zihin> Merhaba
[17:55] <smithzv_> loki__: when going into failsafe, the output scrolls too fast to read, but the behavior is different, the keyboard backlight isn't on there and the computer seems, almost, off?  e.g. the fan is going pretty high on regular boot, but it is running but much quiter when I try for the failsafe.
[17:55] <smithzv_> anyway, I am throughly out of ideas... but I don't want to go back to 12.04
[17:58] <starlight_> loki__:  I have figured out how to edit fstab, but only one problem: After UUID=xxx /home ext4, I don't know what to put
[17:59] <starlight_> some people recommend 'defaults 1 2', some recommend other stuff, I can't find what it means or what to use
[18:00] <smithzv_> starlight_: check out /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[18:01] <smithzv_> those are symlinks to your /dev/sdxx
[18:01] <starlight_> loki__:  I am in that folder
[18:01] <starlight_> i see the files are named by UUIDs
[18:01] <loki__> starlight_, defaults are ok
[18:01] <starlight_> but what do they mean?
[18:02] <smithzv_> starlight_: ls -l
[18:02] <starlight_> i want to understand it but cant find anything on google or man pages
[18:02] <loki__> starlight_, it will be default options for every fs type i think.
[18:02] <starlight_> I understand the first 3 parameters: UUID, location and file system (ext4)
[18:02] <starlight_> but i dont understand the next 3 parameters
[18:03] <loki__> starlight_, type "man fstab" in commandline
[18:03] <starlight_> aww shit
[18:03] <starlight_> sorry about that
[18:03] <Zunino> When I boot into the recovery console, both the system date and keyboard mapping are wrong. Is there an easy way to fix those issues?
[18:03] <starlight_> i could have done that earlier
[18:03] <starlight_> i'll give that a read
[18:03] <Zunino> Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit FWIW.
[18:04] <preceptor> what should I do after installing xubuntu?im new here thanks!
[18:05] <loki__> smithzv_, i don't know how to help you. I sometimes have problem with my 560 ti and i did just upgrade or reinstall. You can try to check if nvidia module is loaded and check what xorg said in logs.
[18:05] <loki__> it would be good start point i think.
[18:05] <smithzv_> loki__: xorg.logs, good point
[18:07] <starlight_> loki, I've given it a read and i now understand the 4th, 5th and 6th parameters
[18:07] <loki__> and maybe you can search strings in dmesg about your video card, maybe there is something usefull.
[18:07] <starlight_> but one thing i am wondering: what does it mean to 'dump' a mounted drive?
[18:07] <starlight_> dump a filesystem* i mean
[18:08] <starlight_> i know that it needs to be either 'defaults 0 2' (no dumping) or 'defaults 1 2) (will dump the fs)
[18:09] <loki__> starlight_, maybe it is about dumpe2fs. But i don't think you need this.
[18:10] <starlight_> loki__:  "this field is used by the dump(8) command" is what it says
[18:10] <Nadeem> hi
[18:11] <loki__> starlight_, you can install dump and read what it do.
[18:11] <starlight_> oh wait i just checked it
[18:11] <starlight_> it backs up files that need to be backed up?
[18:11] <starlight_> and this page only mentions ext2/3 so i assume it is quite old
[18:12] <Carl_> Can anybody help me, I'm having trouble connecting remotely using Microsoft Remote Desktop
[18:12] <Nadeem> I have Lenovo G50-45 ... It has AMD A8 6410 ARM processor ... I am unable to install Ubuntu
[18:13] <bettycla1p> I've just installed a 14.04 vmware instance and via console I can see that ssh is up and listening. But I can't connect to it remotely. iptables shows no firewall rules, and 'ufw status' says 'inactive', which I'm guessing means there's no firewall, right? What could be the problem here?
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> Carl_  sure you're in he right channel?
[18:13] <Carl_> Not exactly. Just looking for any resource that might be able to help
[18:14] <Nadeem> Can someone help me plz
[18:14] <compdoc> Nadeem, I dont think amd sells ARM cpus yet
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> bettycla1p  i'm in the same situation as you, vmware 14.04 and ssh ... make sure openssh-client and server are installed
[18:14] <Nadeem> yess
[18:14] <Nadeem> I dont no whats the problem
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> Carl_  type /j ##windows

[18:15] <Carl_> Thanks monkey

[18:17] <capsule> do you know how can i fix this ?
[18:17] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: it hangs then times out. Note that the same command works on the machine itself (in console).
[18:18] <MonkeyDust> bettycla1p  what's the remote machine? ubuntu?
[18:18] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: yes
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> bettycla1p  which ubuntu?
[18:19] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: as I said: 14.04.

[18:22] <theo_> I was wondering if anyone can assist me? I need a script to periodically print a test page on my inkjet in order to keep the printhead in good nick.
[18:22] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: the guest is Ubuntu 14.04. vmware is running the show on the remote end, but I'm afraid I don't what exactly what OS the host is running.
[18:23] <ghoulsblade> hi all, trying to install google earth on ubuntu 64bit 14.04 , ubunut-wiki says to install 32bit version and do some apt-get install libc6:i386, but that throws couldnt find pack error. i already activated universe+multiverse in packetlibs and did update. help please ? =)
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> bettycla1p  i guess i missed something... when you switch on the pc, which OS is it?
[18:24] <starlight_> I have really fucked up. I can't login to Ubuntu on my user account and I am having to use a guest account. The password is correct, but the changes I made to /etc/fstab are preventing it.
[18:24] <starlight_> I think I was supposed to use /media/home instead of /home in fstab
[18:24] <Nadeem> I have Lenovo G50-45 with 4GB RAM and AMD 6410 APU processor ... I am unable to install Ubuntu on it
[18:25] <nukeu666> help, i have a similar wifi problem to https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/08/msg00184.html
[18:25] <nukeu666> i have to dhclient wlan0, then ^C it, then ifdown ifup wlan0 for net connection to work
[18:26] <minimec> ghoulsblade: I used that howto to force a 32bit installation on my 64bot system. Worked like charm... http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/install-google-earth-in-ubuntu-1404.html
[18:26] <bettycla1p> MonkeyDust: nvm, it seems I solved the problem. Thanks for the help all the same...
[18:26] <starlight_> can anyone help me?
[18:26] <name_> @starlight: if you know so exactly what the problem is, you could just boot in with a live disk/usb and make changes to fstab right?
[18:26] <Nadeem> Can someone help me plz
[18:27] <starlight_> name_:  didnt know you could do that
[18:27] <nukeu666> Nadeem, what error?
[18:27] <starlight_> i will try it out now
[18:27] <name_> I am not entirely sure if it works eighter, but it is a strong possibility.
[18:28] <Nadeem> no error.. when I boot from usb it says try without installation and with installation... no matter what I choose it just shows the cursor and does not go further
[18:28] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset | Nadeem try this
[18:29] <Nadeem> Let me check it sir thank you
[18:30] <minimec> Nadeem: Just another one to show how to boot with nomodeset ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/152847/how-to-access-boot-options-12-04-live-usb
[18:32] <Nadeem> okay sir
[18:32] <Nadeem> thank you
[18:32] <name_> Sorry, does anybody know for sure if the files of a normal linux (ubuntu) partition are accessible for writing through a live disk, or are there some means of prevention against tampering with them?
[18:33] <daftykins> name_: depends if you have a normal disk setup or encryption, etc
[18:34] <name_> I am asking this because _starlight just went to boot from a live disk and change the fstab file on his existing installation which he dosent have normal access to.
[18:34] <OerHeks> name_, they are, unless you have an excrypted disc
[18:34] <name_> I dont think he has.
[18:34] <daftykins> name_: when a user has physical access to a system and is able to boot alternative media, all security bets are off.
[18:34] <name_> Ok, thanks. Never tried yet, only with windows files.
[18:34] <bekks> name_: you just need sudo to edit the /etc/fstab file - no need for a live medium.
[18:34] <name_> Sure?
[18:35] <bekks> name_: Sure.
[18:35] <Nadeem> okay so when I see that screen I just need to type nomodeset
[18:35] <Nadeem> right
[18:35] <minimec> name_: Per default, NO, because they don't have the same owner, but if the /home directory is not encrypted, you can write on them launching the software as 'sudo', but you will change the owner of that fiel to 'root'.
[18:35] <daftykins> Nadeem: append it to the line as the links say
[18:35] <daftykins> Nadeem: you don't need to type it though, press F6 and enable it as an option
[18:36] <Nadeem> okay so when I see that blank screen I need to press F6 thats it .. right ?
[18:37] <OerHeks> before that, when you choose live/install
[18:38] <name_> @bekks & minimec: Well, at least on ununtu 12.04 you dint have sudo rights as guest as far as i can recall.
[18:39] <daftykins> name_: they weren't talking about as guest
[18:39] <name_> He cannot log in otherwise.
[18:39] <name_> Thats the source of his problem.
[18:39] <daftykins> name_: no offence, but this is a support channel. if you don't know, you shouldn't really be providing advice
[18:39] <manikanta> hi
[18:39] <bekks> name_: Which is expected, yes. You didnt tell us he is/was using the guest account.
[18:39] <daftykins> bekks: the user did
[18:39] <name_> His text is just above.
[18:39] <name_> @daftykins: Ok.
[18:40] <daftykins> name_: for what it's worth, the better solution would've been !recovery
[18:40] <daftykins> no need to mess with alternate boot media that way
[18:41] <minimec> name_: That would somehow surprise me. A user 'live-disk' should not be able to overwrite files of user 'minimec'. Maybe if they have the same user ID by chance, user  'live-disk' and 'minimec' got ID 1000 during installation...
[18:42] <Clifo> !lista
[18:42] <daftykins> it's like a fly zapper that thing
[18:42] <Clifo> !addon
[18:43] <daftykins> Clifo: do you have a support question?
[18:43] <Clifo> "!addon"
[18:43] <rww> that's a new one
[18:44] <ashwin_> hi..
[18:44] <daftykins> hello
[18:44] <rww> Clifo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu technical support channel, for support questions related to Ubuntu. It is not for general chat or download/warez.
[18:44] <ashwin_> ok
[18:44] <ashwin_> i am actually new to this
[18:44] <ashwin_> thank you
[18:44] <daftykins> ashwin_: do you have a question? the above wasn't for you
[18:45] <name_> I @minimec: i see. Well, you are probably right.
[18:45] <starlight_> i beg of someone to please help me
[18:46] <starlight_> i have tried to edit this fstab file on a live USB stick, but it wont let me
[18:46] <theo_> starlight: whats up?
[18:46] <daftykins> starlight_: you should use recovery mode to get a root shell and undo what you did wrong
[18:46] <daftykins> !recovery | starlight_
[18:46] <starlight_> it does boot normally
[18:46] <daftykins> starlight_: just read it
[18:46] <starlight_> but when i login to my account, it takes me back to the login screen
[18:46] <starlight_> !recovery
[18:47] <daftykins> starlight_: i already typed that, read the link.
[18:47] <starlight_> ok
[18:48] <starlight_> ok ill try this
[18:48] <Virca7816> is it a good idea, to install ubuntu on raspberry pi, with zswap?
[18:49] <ikonia> Virca7816: ubuntu doesn't run on a pi
[18:49] <OerHeks> Virca7816, no, as ubuntu needs arm7 or higher
[18:49] <Virca7816> hmm, maybe, old version of ubuntu can?
[18:50] <OerHeks> !arm
[18:50] <rww> Virca7816: none that are supported here
[18:50] <Virca7816> thanks
[18:50] <Virca7816> Thanks!
[18:50] <rww> (support stopped in 9.10)
[18:51] <Virca7816> I love irc. Quick answer, quick support, nyaaa :)
[18:53] <ikonia> rww: was it really 9.10 the last version that would have run on the right arm
[18:53] <rww> ikonia: no, 9.04. 9.10 was the first that didn't
[18:53] <reisio> well, Ubuntu does run on a Raspberry Pi, just not any official version of Ubuntu this channel is allowed to support :p
[18:53] <ikonia> ahh
[18:53] <reisio> what's more important is that many versions of Debian run on it
[18:53] <daftykins> off topic though.
[18:55] <reisio> echo in here...
[18:57] <Rhode1> Some french users here ? I can't find the french channel
[18:57] <ikonia> #ubuntu-fr
[18:58] <name_> Good luck, starlight_!
[18:59] <Rhode1> ^^ Merci
[18:59] <starlight_> Still can't edit fstab, even in recovery mode. I tried mounting / as read-write but it still gave me the permission denied errors
[19:00] <starlight_> for those who missed what i said earlier: i can't log on to my account because i fucked up on the fstab edit
[19:00] <ikonia> starlight_: please control your language
[19:00] <ikonia> starlight_: there is no need to swear
[19:00] <starlight_> sorry
[19:00] <daftykins> starlight_: you were trying to remount / read write yes?
[19:01] <starlight_> yes
[19:01] <starlight_> i tried this:
[19:01] <daftykins> what errors did you get?
[19:01] <starlight_> mount -o remount,rw /
[19:01] <starlight_> "bash: permission denied" when i tried to access fstab
[19:01] <damascene> Hi, some how my ubuntu dns is notworking with the dns server I'm testing. when I query the dns server with dig it gives me the records. in network manager I set the same server but it does not recognize domain when I ping
[19:01] <ikonia> the mount command is nothing to do with you trying to access the fstab
[19:01] <ikonia> what is the command and what is the error
[19:01] <starlight_> i know
[19:01] <starlight_> ok, before accessing fstab
[19:01] <starlight_> i need to make sure / is read-write
[19:02] <ikonia> starlight_: what is the output of the mount command you run
[19:02] <starlight_> it gives no output
[19:02] <daftykins> starlight_: i'm asking if there was an error from the mount command
[19:02] <starlight_> no error from mount command
[19:02] <daftykins> ok so what did you try to run to edit fstab?
[19:02] <ikonia> starlight_: that suggests it's mounted ok
[19:02] <ikonia> so what is the next command (exactly) that's erroring
[19:02] <starlight_> i tried to access it by typing /etc/fstab
[19:02] <daftykins> not going to work
[19:02] <starlight_> and it gave me permission denied
[19:02] <ikonia> that's not a valid command
[19:02] <daftykins> "nano /etc/fstab"
[19:02] <starlight_> oh ok
[19:02] <ikonia> you're trying to execute a text file
[19:03] <starlight_> nano is a command line editor?
[19:03] <justin_xp> hi
[19:03] <daftykins> text editor yes
[19:03] <starlight_> ok thanks guys
[19:03] <starlight_> i will try this out
[19:03] <starlight_> bbl
[19:04] <justin_xp> where is window channel
[19:04] <frenda> How can I restart /etc/hosts after editing without restart/logout?
[19:04] <ikonia> frenda: you don't stop/start /etc/hosts
[19:04] <ikonia> justin_xp: ##windows
[19:04] <OerHeks> justin_xp, join ##windows
[19:05] <frenda> Is it in-time? ikonia: ^
[19:05] <ikonia> frenda: it's a text file thats parsed on each lookup
[19:06] <frenda> ikonia: I've added this line into it:
[19:06] <frenda> `<IP_ADDRESS>       hello.site`
[19:06] <frenda> but
[19:06] <frenda> hello.site does not open as localhos!
[19:06] <ikonia> what do you mean doesn't open ?
[19:07] <ikonia> what exactly are you doing
[19:08] <frenda> ikonia: I want to change ServeName (in vhost config file) from localhost to hello.locally because of https://github.com/Goteo/Goteo/issues/137#issuecomment-56168329
[19:08] <frenda> or hello.site
[19:09] <ikonia> frenda: right ?
[19:09] <ikonia> frenda: so you've put an entry in /etc/hosts, then what ?
[19:10] <frenda> I get this error in chrome: The requested URL could not be retrieved, The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://mygoteo.site/  Unable to determine IP address from host name mygoteo.site
[19:11] <ikonia> frenda: you're typing in mygoteo.site
[19:11] <ikonia> frenda: you didn't put mygoteo.site in your hostfile
[19:11] <ikonia> you put hello.local
[19:11] <frenda> I'm care
[19:11] <ikonia> hello.site sorry
[19:11] <ikonia> you're care ?
[19:12] <stevendumani> I'm not care
[19:12] <frenda> I've put mygoteo.site; I just use hello.site here to make make it clear!
[19:12] <frenda> ikonia: ^
[19:12] <ikonia> sorry - I'm not getting into this
[19:12] <ikonia> you said you'd put hello.site into the /etc/hosts file - you actually pasted it as "I've put this"
[19:12] <ikonia> now you're telling me you've put something different
[19:13] <ikonia> I suggest you look if its using dns or the hostfile - I suspect dns
[19:13] <ikonia> I'm not really interested in helping with fake info
[19:15] <m_tadeu> hi...what's the difference between "sudo service xxx start" ans "sudo start xxx"?
[19:15] <mlindner> Does anyone know how to feed seg fault messages generated from programs started by upstart to logs as well as the main stdout and stderr?
[19:15] <mlindner>  or do i need to manually write a parser to read the return code of the program
[19:16] <frenda> fake? I share the original link: https://github.com/Goteo/Goteo/issues/137#issuecomment-56168329 --> mygoteo.local has a problem becaus .local is a tld -->  `mygoteo.site` is what I insert in that file  --> I use hello instead of mygoteo to make it simple: hello.site; ikonia: ^
[19:17] <frenda> However, Chrome is telling me: The DNS server returned:  Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
[19:19] <pratikxolt> HI GUYS
[19:20] <MonkeyDust> caps
[19:20] <johncooper> to stop Linux from crashing, what should I install with Trusty and 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)?
[19:20] <ikonia> linux shouldn't be crashing
[19:21] <johncooper> ikonia: I know
[19:21] <ikonia> so why do you think it's a graphics problem ?
[19:22] <johncooper> because it crashes to a skewed 'rolling picture' pattern (frozen). only responds to reisub
[19:22] <bennypr0fane_> hello, who can tell me about DNS+SSL? I want to use my domain for a https site. they say that's not possible bcs I'd have to migrate the domain to the server where the certificate is located. I don't really understand what they mean. by migrating the domain i would understand moving it to a different registrar. does that mean SSL domains can only be on the same servers as their registrar?
[19:22] <ikonia> apologies, but I don't know what a rolling picture patern is
[19:23] <ikonia> bennypr0fane_: nothing to do with dns
[19:23] <ikonia> bennypr0fane_: your webserver needs to support ssl and you need to install / buy a valid ssl certficiate on that site
[19:23] <bennypr0fane_> *to clarify, ""they are the provider i rented the domain from
[19:23] <ikonia> bennypr0fane_: nothing to do with providers
[19:24] <pratikxolt> unfortunately  i unistalled unity config by unstalling compiz config and now bad thing is that it is not opening terminal
[19:24] <pratikxolt> plz help
[19:25] <johncooper> ikonia: 3cm bar of of sky blue, 0.5cm of white bar, 1cm of black bar, repeat for the whole screen and its rotated about 20 degrees to the left. and this happens when 3D apps are run including DOSBox and composited
[19:25] <ikonia> johncooper: what video card module (driver) are you currently using ?
[19:25] <johncooper> not sure
[19:25] <johncooper> nvidia-common?
[19:25] <ikonia> johncooper: do you get offered nvida drives from ubuntu ?
[19:26] <johncooper> ikonia: before the upgrade to trusty, yes. since, no. I works for a short while after the upgrade
[19:26] <ikonia> johncooper: what version did you upgrade from
[19:27] <johncooper> pretty sure it was raring
[19:27] <johncooper> had quantal before raring
[19:28] <ikonia> johncooper: what happens if you open the additional divers tab
[19:28] <stevendumani> did i miss the answer? I was asking about minbar, I'm running it in terminal and I'm getting this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8402856/ but the main window won't show, I'm using trusty 64bit
[19:29] <minimec> pratikxolt: If you are familiar with the terminal, you can switch to a non graphical console with <ctrl><alt>f1, and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-terminal', or maybe better 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install reinstall ubuntu-desktop' ...
[19:30] <_justinsd> Hello
[19:30] <_justinsd> Does anyone in here use logrotate?
[19:30] <bennypr0fane_> what's more, i actually have pointed my server's IP to that domain with https, and it works! I use a self-signed certificate, and that's fine because the server is a single-user instance of Owncloud at my house. I'm just not sure if it's in fact secure now because the provider said "it can't work", so I'm afraid something might be wrong there.
[19:30] <_justinsd> I was wondering if the logs referenced in logrotate need to be added to syslog or not.
[19:30] <pratikxolt> jhnx #minimec stay online i will tell you what happens
[19:31] <tnli> Does anyone have experience on installing ubuntu on Thinkpad S440?
[19:31] <johncooper> I'll try that. incase it freezes me, see you in my next boot
[19:32] <tnli> the resources on internet weren't too convincing.
[19:32] <bennypr0fane_> tnli what seems to be the problem?
[19:32] <pratikxolt> #tnli are you going to dual boot the system?
[19:32] <thurstylark> are there guidelines documented somewhere for icons and themes for unity? I would like to create a theme, and would like to know some best practices for my first attempt.
[19:33] <tnli> Probably not, I have a 256 gig ssd, not enough for a dual boot, imo
[19:33] <pratikxolt> thnx minimec first option works
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> tnli  i have 250GB and had dual boot, before i deleted windows
[19:34] <pratikxolt> ubuntu requires only 6.5 gb of space to install
[19:34] <minimec> pratikxolt: cool!
[19:34] <bennypr0fane_> tnli have you tried installing it and failed, or are you just worried it might cause problems?
[19:34] <tnli> I don't think it's worth it, if I can get eve online to work on this. :D
[19:35] <unstable> I'm trying to install smartmontools 6.2 or higher on precise. trusty has the latest version, but it's compiled against a newer version of libc. Is there a way to take the deb src from trusty, and compile a deb for precise with similar options. (note, I do _not_ want to compile from source)
[19:35] <MonkeyDust> unstable  try the !backports
[19:36] <^^x^^> if I have /very/long/path/toFile.txt and I want toFile.txt to be readable by everybody, do I have to chmod anything in particular along the /very/long/path ??
[19:36] <unstable> !backports
[19:36] <tnli> I heard that the drivers for the wireless card are not too good.
[19:36] <pbx> ^^x^^, no, as long as you don't need them to be able to find the file by drilling down dir by dir
[19:36] <thurstylark> is it still supported to upgrade from 13.10 using do-release upgrade?
[19:37] <xangua> !eol | thurstylark
[19:37] <pratikxolt> does any one knows how to sync smartphone to ubntu
[19:37] <unstable> MonkeyDust: The only one is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/s/smartmontools/smartmontools_6.2+svn3841-1.2_amd64.deb , which requires a newer version of libc
[19:37] <tnli> I guess I should just make the ubuntu usb stick and test it all, yes? :)
[19:37] <^^x^^> pbx: thank you sir!
[19:38] <minimec> thurstylark: SHould be possible. I would maybe change the sources to the old.releases repo and do an update/upgrade. Then launch the system upgrade.
[19:39] <starlight_> hello
[19:39] <sempf> I am getting hundreds of 404s from <IP_ADDRESS> trying to use apt-get on 13.04. Just me? Anyone else?
[19:39] <thurstylark> minimec: Where would I find the old.releases urls?
[19:39] <ikonia> 13.04 repos are dead
[19:39] <ikonia> hence why you get 404
[19:39] <OerHeks> sempf, that is normal, 13.03 ie EOL
[19:40] <minimec> thurstylark: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[19:40] <starlight_> I managed to fix /etc/fstab so that I can login again, but I have encountered another problem now: the partition I want to use for /home does not show up on the devices list and /media/home is linking to my windows 7 partition
[19:40] <preceptor> where is a good place to start when learning about ubuntu/linux?
[19:40] <ikonia> /media/home is not where your home directory is
[19:40] <thurstylark> sempf: I'm dealing with the same thing. Look at my convo just now... :P
[19:41] <starlight_> i had to use rsync to move /home to /media/home as recommended by this guide
[19:41] <thurstylark> minimec: thanks a bunch!
[19:41] <starlight_> and then change /media/home in fstab to /home once i had migrated the files
[19:41] <ikonia> starlight_: so what's the problem ?
[19:41] <yecril71pl> Can I have a non-breaking space under [Shift [Space]]?
[19:41] <minimec> thurstylark: No problem. YOur not alone. --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/502905/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-13-10-end-of-life-to-ubuntu-14-04
[19:42] <pratikxolt> #minimec need some help
[19:42] <starlight_> the partition i was going to link /home to does not appear on the list of devices anymore, and /media/home is, oddly enough, linking to my windows 7 partition
[19:42] <starlight_> i have used the correct UUID in /etc/fstab
[19:42] <jhutchins> starlight_: What guide?  It sounds like you missed a detail somewhere along the line.  What did you originally mount on /media/home?
[19:42] <ikonia> starlight_: what is the device file associated with your home directory
[19:42] <OerHeks> starlight_, /media/home/ is ext4 or ntfs ?
[19:42] <starlight_> hang on i will link you up
[19:42] <ikonia> starlight_: just answer the question
[19:42] <ikonia> starlight_: what is the device file associated with your home directory
[19:42] <jhutchins> Too many helpers.
[19:42] <pratikxolt> status bar  and left side dock bar is not visible
[19:42] <thurstylark> minimec: strangely enough, 13.10 isn't listed there, but under releases.ubuntu.com...
[19:43] <starlight_> here is the guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[19:43] <OerHeks> !eolupgrade
[19:43] <starlight_> oh sorry
[19:43] <starlight_> as an answer to your question:
[19:43] <thurstylark> pratikxolt: use his username without the # to properly higlight on IRC :) jsyk
[19:43] <rww> thurstylark: old releases aren't moved for a little bit after they go EOL, so you can just stick with the normal address and ignore changing to old-releases when following upgrade instructions
[19:44] <starlight_> i am typing a response but it is not showing up
[19:44] <pratikxolt> sorry #thurstylark
[19:44] <Ben64> starlight_: use two slashes at the beginning
[19:44] <starlight_> ah damn :P thats it
[19:44] <thurstylark> pratikxolt: It's cool, you just might get better results without using # is all. :)
[19:45] <starlight_> ok: //media/home is linking to an NTFS partition (should not be doing this) and /home is just linking to the usual place
[19:45] <starlight_> i tried 2 // but it didnt work again
[19:45] <thurstylark> rww: Ahh. awesome. Thanks.
[19:45] <ikonia> starlight_: what is the device file associated with your home directory
[19:45] <pratikxolt> i dont know what are u saying
[19:46] <Ben64> like /dev/sda1
[19:46] <Ben64> is what ikonia wants
[19:46] <starlight_> oh, it is /dev/sda2
[19:46] <ikonia> starlight_: can you mount /dev/sda2
[19:46] <pratikxolt> got it
[19:46] <starlight_> yes
[19:46] <minimec> thurstylark: Is it. But if you do the changes 'accordingly' to other old releases, you will see when you update if the repo is available. I you do an update/upgrade right now, do you get no error messages for missing repos? In that case, I guess you are good for the update.
[19:46] <ikonia> starlight_: so it is showing p
[19:46] <ikonia> up
[19:46] <starlight_> but i cant mount /dev/sda4 anymore because it has disappeared
[19:46] <ikonia> starlight_: what has sda4 got to do with anything ?
[19:47] <starlight_> it is the empty partition i am trying to set /home to
[19:47] <thurstylark> minimec: I'm only getting a 404 for http://ppa.launchpad.net saucy/main i386 Packages. All the other repos are working fine.
[19:47] <pratikxolt> minimec need some help
[19:47] <starlight_> it is ext4 and i have set the UUID of it in /etc/fstab
[19:47] <ikonia> starlight_: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" please
[19:47] <pratikxolt> status bar  and left side dock bar is not visible
[19:47] <minimec> thurstylark: Well ok. So I guess your goo for the upgrade. The ppa's will be disabled anyway...
[19:48] <starlight_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8405614/
[19:48] <s5s> Hi has anyone got Nvidia Optimus working with multiple monitors? I've got a thinkpad W520 and I can't get it to work under ubuntu. I can only get it to work under arch linux but I'd like to use ubuntu...
[19:48] <bekks> !saucy | thurstylark
[19:48] <ikonia> starlight_: /dev/sda4 is there
[19:48] <ikonia> starlight_: why do you think it's not there
[19:48] <starlight_> sorry if this is very confusing, i just wanted to use a partition for /home and everything is going wrong
[19:48] <starlight_> it doesnt show up on my list of devices
[19:48] <starlight_> in the explorer thing
[19:48] <minimec> pratikxolt: Ask your question to all the users here. Like that others might answer too.
[19:48] <ikonia> it shows up there
[19:48] <ikonia> you can see it /dev/sda4
[19:48] <thurstylark> minimec: mmkay. By my logic, i would assume that I would be able to get far enough to get to a supported version, then resolve unmet dependancies later. Sound crazy?
[19:49] <thurstylark> Guys. I get it. 13.10 is eol. chill.
[19:49] <unstable> Best guide for making a deb for precise that already exists in trusty? The dependencies are really simple.
[19:50] <starlight_> i have tried "sudo mount -a" and it still doesn't show up in that left panel (GUI)
[19:50] <ikonia> mount -a won't mount anything that's not in fstab
[19:50] <starlight_> i have made sure to add /dev/sda4 to fstab, as the guide told me to
[19:50] <starlight_> for /home
[19:51] <starlight_> this is what it told me to do: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[19:51] <Ben64> starlight_: probably did it incorrectly. pastebin "sudo blkid"
[19:51] <ikonia> starlight_: so what's the problem then
[19:51] <starlight_> hang on
[19:51] <starlight_> pastebin this first
[19:51] <minimec> pratikxolt: Ok. I se  your question now. Use the second command I gave you to reinstall all needed packages for a normal ubuntu-desktop.
[19:51] <Ben64> starlight_: oh, and pastebin your fstab
[19:51] <minimec> pratikxolt: If you are familiar with the terminal, you can switch to a non graphical console with <ctrl><alt>f1, and 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-terminal', or maybe better 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install reinstall ubuntu-desktop' ...
[19:52] <starlight_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8405649/
[19:53] <ikonia> starlight_: why do you think it's not mounted ?
[19:54] <starlight_> if you click the 'files' icon on the left panel on the desktop (unity), it brings up a list of devices in the left panel of that window
[19:54] <starlight_> the 52GB partition wont show up anymore
[19:54] <starlight_> since i made the fstab edits
[19:54] <starlight_> and /home isnt linking to that partition either
[19:54] <thurstylark> minimec: kind of nuke and pave on that last answer, eh?
[19:54] <ikonia> starlight_: pastebin the output of the command "mount"
[19:55] <starlight_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8405661/
[19:55] <ikonia> starlight_:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/8405661/
[19:55] <ikonia> oops
[19:56] <ikonia> starlight_: /dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw)
[19:56] <ikonia> starlight_: it's mounted
[19:56] <henry_> setting up my first ever server. so pumped.
[19:56] <starlight_> but why am i not able to access it, why does /home not link to it, and why does /media/home link to my NTFS partition?
[19:56] <starlight_> it is all very weird
[19:56] <starlight_> i followed the instructions from that wiki very clearly
[19:56] <thurstylark> henry_: it's a good feeling :)
[19:57]  * rww shakes head at silly IRC clients
[19:57] <ikonia> starlight_: you can access /home just fine
[19:57] <thurstylark> rww jeez thanks :P
[19:58] <rww> not you :P
[19:58] <starlight_> OH WAIT
[19:58] <starlight_> sorry
[19:58] <starlight_> i just checked the properties for my user folder in /home
[19:58] <starlight_> it shows up as having about 50GB free space
[19:58] <starlight_> it has worked then
[19:59] <starlight_> but /media/home still links to my NTFS partition
[19:59] <starlight_> not sure why
[19:59] <starlight_> oops
[19:59] <ikonia> why do you really care ?
[19:59] <starlight_> oh it doesnt matter
[19:59] <ikonia> it's mounting your ntfs directory based on it's label
[19:59] <starlight_> i will figure it out
[20:01] <thurstylark> is there an alternative to http://ppa.launchpad.net saucy/main i386 Packages so I can upgrade out of 13.10?
[20:03] <daftykins> henry_: you might want to know of #ubuntu-server
[20:03] <starlight_> i think i may have misunderstood something about /media
[20:03] <starlight_> from what i have just read: /media/username contains all mounted drives, except /, correct?
[20:04] <daftykins> no
[20:04] <starlight_> so in this case it only shows my NTFS partition
[20:04] <starlight_> oh
[20:04] <starlight_> damn
[20:04] <daftykins> ignore that, i hit enter in the wrong channel
[20:04] <starlight_> oh
[20:04] <starlight_> so i am correct?
[20:06] <nuke_> i just installed the japanese locale, now everything is coming in japanese...i want englishhh as default like before...help
[20:06] <starlight_> thankyou for your help guys
[20:06] <geirha> starlight_: Not exactly
[20:07] <thurstylark> ugh. why did compiz just restart.... -_-
[20:07] <starlight_> "contains mount points for replaceable media", so NTFS is the only 'replaceable' partition i have?
[20:07] <preceptor> how do i run programs automatically on startup?
[20:07] <geirha> I haven't been following the case though, but ''df -h'' will probably show some more mounts than / and ones inside /media/username
[20:08] <preceptor> i did the settings manager-startup-add but it didn't work
[20:08] <stevendumani> so what can I do about minbar problem in trusty 64bit? I don't know what else to try!
[20:08] <thurstylark> Where do I find logs?
[20:08] <nuke_> thurstylark, /var/log
[20:08] <thurstylark> I'm looking for compiz logs
[20:09] <starlight_> geirha: thanks for that, useful command
[20:09] <starlight_> i have just learned why /run has a different storage capacity from other folders in /
[20:09] <starlight_> it has its own partition(s)
[20:10] <starlight_> how do you guys cope with all the 'username joined/quit channel' messages in this IRC room?
[20:10] <preceptor> how do i automatically run programs on startup?
[20:10] <starlight_> is it because I am using the web client?
[20:10] <starlight_> it is quite spammy
[20:11] <Fuchs> starlight_: most clients have a setting to disable it, but quite a lot of people, including me, simply don't bother
[20:11] <geirha> starlight_: yes, tmpfs which basically means /run is stored in RAM
[20:11] <starlight_> oh ok
[20:11] <Fuchs> because most clients also display these in a different colour, so it's easy to see what messages are actually more interesting
[20:11] <starlight_> ah i see
[20:11] <starlight_> i will get a client at some point
[20:12] <starlight_> thankyou to all the people who helped me solve my (lack of a) problem
[20:12] <geirha> because /run (and /var/run) is only meant to hold files for running programs
[20:12] <starlight_> at least now i know how the mounts and /media actually work
[20:12] <starlight_> geirha: /run is volatile storage?
[20:12] <geirha> It's gone when you reboot, yes
[20:12] <starlight_> alrightey
[20:13] <geirha> or "wiped" if you prefer
[20:13] <starlight_> yes
[20:13] <starlight_> sort of labelled as 'this can be freely overwritten'
[20:13] <starlight_> rather than irrecoverably removed
[20:13] <Fernest> I'd like to run a mail server on my ubuntu server. Can anyone recommend a good, free one?
[20:13] <starlight_> like when you delete any file
[20:13] <starlight_> afaik
[20:14] <pbx> Fernest, postfix
[20:14] <jhutchins> Fernest: There are three fairly popular ones and a handful of lesser ones, but you need to understand some of the implications of running your own server.
[20:15] <pbx> Fernest, and of course what jhutchins said.  running a mail server is a thankless and fraught task
[20:15] <hecatae> how do I bring up the unity shortcuts screen in case I want to remember the key bindings?
[20:15] <jhutchins> Fernest: If you're planning on using it to send your own outbound mail, be aware that you'll probably have to relay it through a commercial service.  Private mailers are discouraged and blocked by many sites out of concern for spam and malware.
[20:16] <guntbert> hecatae: press <win> for a second
[20:16] <Fernest> jhutchins oh!
[20:16] <jhutchins> Fernest: Having an exposed inbound server is a problem for those same reasons, and because you then become a target for people tying to relay their spam and malware through yoru server.
[20:16] <Fernest> jhutchins: This was exactly why I was intending to use one: To reduce the costs.
[20:16] <hecatae> guntbert,  that seems to just bring up the search bar?
[20:16] <hecatae> ahh long press got it
[20:16] <guntbert> hecatae: keep it pressed
[20:16] <Fernest> pbx jhutchins: I'll read about them. Thank you!
[20:17] <jhutchins> Fernest: sendmail, postfix, and exim are the three big ones.
[20:17] <Fernest> jhutchins: It's for a small web shop I'd like to run. Own hosting, administration and mail. It won't make much money and will have not many customers. Would you advice me to use third party still?
[20:18] <hwilde> how to hide passwords in config files ?
[20:18] <jhutchins> Fernest: Yes, I probably would.  A commercial account with gmail or your provider or registrar is just as professional.  Even some of the big shops contract it out because it's such a headache.
[20:19] <geirha> hwilde: make sure the config file is only writable and readable to the users that need either
[20:19] <hwilde> geirha, looking for one step beyond that, since many people can do sudo
[20:19] <Fernest> jhutchins: Is there a way to use gmail and still appear as e.g<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[20:19] <thurstylark> Looks like I might be better off moving my home to another partition, and doing a complete reinstall. do-release-upgrade has way too many repo errors for me to be comfortable with it...
[20:20] <geirha> hwilde: Then you can't really hide it ...
[20:20] <chasep_work> Fernest: I use dreamhost for all my webhosting, but gmail for all my email hosting - uses my own domain(s)
[20:20] <hwilde> for example, not everyone should see the mail password in the ssmtp config,  or the logins  in .ssh/config
[20:20] <chasep_work> Fernest: it's free
[20:20] <jhutchins> Fernest: Yes.  They charge a fee for that, but it's pretty reasonable.
[20:20] <thurstylark> How do I get a list of packages installed?
[20:20] <geirha> If you give users unrestricted root access with sudo, you really do give them unrestricted access to the system
[20:21] <jhutchins> thurstylark: dpkg -l
[20:21] <chasep_work> jhutchins: I don't pay anything for it, and I've got at least a half dozen, if not more, domains using google hosted email
[20:21] <thurstylark> jhutchins: thanks.
[20:21] <guntbert> hwilde: for ssh: just use key based login everywhere - I have no passwords in my config
[20:21] <jhutchins> thurstylark: There are ways to clone the package list, but what are you upgrading _from_?
[20:21] <Fernest> Guys, you saved me a lot of work  I guess. Thanks!
[20:22] <jhutchins> Fernest: Most domain registrars will handle your mail for a fee as well.
[20:22] <thurstylark> jhutchins: from 13.10
[20:22] <nuke_> i installed the japanese locale, now most menus and konsole come in japanese, how to i get it back to english?
[20:22] <jhutchins> Ah - I believe it's EOL and therefor the servers have moved.
[20:22] <jhutchins> !eol
[20:23] <thurstylark> jhutchins: Yeah, I get that. My idea was to get a complete package list, upgrade, and compare installed packages to get what I have installed.
[20:23] <jhutchins> !clone
[20:23] <thurstylark> !automate
[20:24] <hecatae> guntbert thankyou, testing 12.04.5
[20:24] <thurstylark> jhutchins: so, what does that do, exactly?
[20:25] <thurstylark> apt-clone, that is...
[20:27] <thurstylark> My main thing is to exclude system packages or depends so that I don't get superflous packages.
[20:27] <jhutchins> thurstylark: Basically generate a list of installed packages that you can then duplicate during an install.
[20:28] <jhutchins> thurstylark: Which is why it's difficult to do this over different releases.
[20:28] <jhutchins> thurstylark: Things change, like devfs vs. udev and init/upstart/systemd.
[20:29] <thurstylark> jhutchins: It seems like I may be better off doing a clean install...
[20:29] <thurstylark> then re-nesting...
[20:29] <jhutchins> thurstylark: On the other hand, you could manually list the packages you know you use, and just make sure they're installed (or something that does the same thing is).
[20:29] <jhutchins> thurstylark: If you don't know a package is installed, why do you care?
[20:31] <artie|home> Is it possible to use dm-crypt in the way, that the encrypted fs to be mounted has a volume of 100x, while the files, that represent the fs are split into smaller portions, of e.g. 1x?
[20:32] <thurstylark> jhutchins: You make a good point.
[20:33] <thurstylark> jhutchins: it also makes the case for a test machine for software that I may not want, but want to test :P
[20:33] <pinumbernumber> I want to backup a partition containing a different Linux distro and replace it with Ubuntu. 2 questions: 1) is `dd if=/dev/sdc of=/some/file bs=4M` a reliable backup method (IE, could I revert simply by reversing if and of), and is it easy to mount such a dd's file so I can cherry pick some files from it?
[20:33] <thurstylark> I'm sure I have a lot of crap that I tried to test, and then never used...
[20:34] <pinumbernumber> (not Ubuntu specific, actually, but I'm not sure where there's an active generic linux one)
[20:34] <pinumbernumber> ("one" = IRC channel)
[20:35] <thurstylark> pinumbernumber: I would be super careful with dd. There is a way to dd to an iso, but I don't know it off the top of my head.
[20:36] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: You can actually mount the image in Windows.
[20:36] <thurstylark> pinumbernumber: also, yes, there are ways to mount a disk image, but I'd have to google it myself.
[20:36] <jhutchins> thurstylark: dd doesn't create an iso, although it can copy one.
[20:36] <pinumbernumber> jhutchins, it'd be Linux I'd be mounting it in.
[20:37] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: Yeah, I mean the answer is so "yes" you can even do it in windows.
[20:37] <thurstylark> jhutchins: Can it read from one as a source? I seem to remember doing that in the past...
[20:37] <pinumbernumber> thurstylark, yes I wrote the Ubuntu liveusb I'm using that way
[20:37] <thurstylark> pinumbernumber: heck, OS X can mount iso, also..
[20:38] <thurstylark> jhutchins: but, just not as a dest..."
[20:38] <thurstylark> *?
[20:38] <jhutchins>  If you do it by partition you just mount -t ext? <imagefile> <mountpoint> -0 loop
[20:38] <jhutchins> er -o
[20:39] <pinumbernumber> Okay revised question: I want to backup my Mint partition so I can scrap it and install Ubuntu instead. I want the backup to be reliable, and to be able to mount it easily so I can pick certain files off it
[20:39] <pinumbernumber> I would use Clonezilla but it looks like mounting its images is a bit of a pain
[20:39] <Fohlen> hey. Just wondering, would: apt-get install linux-headers-3.13.0-35* linux-image-3.13.0-35* --fix-missing be the propper way to update my kernel to the newest version ubuntu 14.04?
[20:39] <Fohlen> *eh
[20:39] <Fohlen> 14.10
[20:39] <jhutchins> thinkabout_: If you do the whole disk losetup can help you mount the partitions.
[20:39] <Fohlen> apt-cache show's it's the newest available
[20:39] <jhutchins> thurstylark: ^
[20:39] <xangua> pinumbernumber: next time you can try make a /home partition
[20:40] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: just backup the file system to a directory
[20:40] <OerHeks> Fohlen, join #ubuntu+1 for utopic support
[20:40] <thurstylark> Fohlen: have you tried 'apt-get dist-upgrade'?
[20:40] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: or tar it up
[20:40] <ikonia> there is no need for an "image" option
[20:40] <Fohlen> thurstylark: doesn't work out :/
[20:40] <thurstylark> Fohlen: Is there a specific error?
[20:40] <pinumbernumber> I have plenty of scratch space, but it's all NTFS. Anyway, I want to be able to revert just by writing the partition straight back (and fixing GRUB) rather than reinstalling
[20:41] <Fohlen> thurstylark: yes with my kernel: libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:1619 kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory
[20:41] <Fohlen> that's why I want to either reinstall or upgrade it
[20:41] <Fohlen> how would I do that?
[20:41] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: then just backup the file system as I said
[20:41] <Fohlen> ubuntu page says sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) but it fails.
[20:42] <OerHeks> Fohlen, 14.10 is on 3.16.0-14.20
[20:42] <pinumbernumber> ikonia, I don't think copying from an ext4 filesystem to an ntfs one will keep all the permissions and such when I copy back
[20:42] <thurstylark> Fohlen: Oof. Just left my depth. sorry. Others may know here, though.
[20:42] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: no it won't
[20:42] <ikonia> pinumbernumber: so tar it up
[20:42] <Fohlen> OerHeks: mine is on 3.10 somehow.
[20:42] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: Yes, that should work.
[20:42] <Fohlen> pre-stoneage
[20:43] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: You could also use something like tar to preserve permissions and ownership.
[20:43] <Fohlen> OerHeks: how would I fix that? Install linux-generic image and headers?
[20:43] <ODB> Alright lads
[20:43] <ODB> Random question
[20:43] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: You will want to do this from something other than the system you're backing up.  Something like clonezilla live is an easy solution.
[20:43] <ODB> What is the server address of EFNet?
[20:43] <ikonia> ODB: nothing to do with this channel
[20:43] <ikonia> ODB: read their website
[20:44] <ODB> Sorry
[20:44] <pinumbernumber> jhutchins, I'm currently on an Ubuntu liveusb so I'd prefer to see to it now
[20:44] <OerHeks> Fohlen, i don't know if that kernel is available, anyway  join #ubuntu+1 for utopic support
[20:44] <pinumbernumber> Also, I'm running out of scratch USB sticks :P
[20:45] <jhutchins> pinumbernumber: Don't they sell 'em by the case these days?
[20:45] <Fohlen> OerHeks: mkay I'm wrong, server is 14.04, sorry. that explains. My kernel seems somewhat broken, what would be the recommended way to reinstall/upgrade ?
[20:45] <AcidRain|2> http://pastebin.com/Ry7fnskY   full details in post. can anyone plz help?
[20:45] <ODB> "scratch USB sticks" lol
[20:45] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: what's the issue
[20:45] <ODB> You must have a hell of a time erasing them when the FBI or NSA come knocking on your door.
[20:45] <pinumbernumber> ODB, as in unneeded ones I can write ISOs to
[20:45] <ikonia> ODB: drop it
[20:46] <jhutchins> AcidRain|2: Summarize so we'll know whether we should bother.
[20:46] <pinumbernumber> so if I just dd to a file I can't expect to easily write it back?
[20:46] <AcidRain|2> hang on, let me look at the log files
[20:46] <jhutchins> AcidRain|2: Ie if it's about crypt or lvm I'm not the guy who should look.
[20:47] <AcidRain|2> Sep 22 15:46:22 acidrain-CM1730-CM1830 sshd[7446]: fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory component "/media/AcidShower/FTP/jkdf2/"
[20:47] <AcidRain|2> like i said, all dirs and files are owned by root:root
[20:47] <AcidRain|2> as per doc of ssh
[20:47] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: right - so unless you're logging in as root that will be a problem
[20:47] <AcidRain|2> ikonia: false. the user ftpuser has the EXACT same setup. works perfect
[20:48] <thurstylark> what does the -X flag do in rsync? I'm not seeing it in it's manpage...
[20:48] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: not false
[20:48] <chull> ←- chalcedony hi i'm trying to help my husband with his ubuntu 14.04 upgrade. He's getting an “internal error” on boot up. /usr/lib/screensaver/pacman caused a segfault.
[20:48] <AcidRain|2> ftpuser is not part of the root group
[20:48] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: you will only have read acces to those directories
[20:48] <chull> ubuntu 14.04 “pacman crashed with sigsev in_lib_start_main
[20:48] <AcidRain|2> ikonia: if i can just get read access that would be great
[20:48] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: what's the actual problem ?
[20:48] <AcidRain|2> it would be a start to solve my issue
[20:48] <dstokes> hey guys, getting 404's from the default repositories (12.04). what's the std way to fix this?
[20:49] <AcidRain|2> my problem is i currently cannot even get read access due to Sep 22 15:46:22 acidrain-CM1730-CM1830 sshd[7446]: fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory component "/media/AcidShower/FTP/jkdf2/"
[20:49] <ikonia> dstokes: what is the URL of the repo you are using
[20:49] <dstokes> us.archive.ubuntu.com
[20:49] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: ooh hang on
[20:49] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: aren't you the one with all the loopback/bind mount file ysstems
[20:49] <cacaocaca> hi anyone can help me ?
[20:49] <AcidRain|2> lol. yes.
[20:49] <ikonia> dstokes: that repo is up
[20:49] <jhutchins> cacaocaca: Not unless we know what with.
[20:50] <ikonia> AcidRain|2: yeah, I'm not interested in this, I've advised you to stop your bad file system / bind mount layout, it creates problems
[20:50] <dstokes> ikonia: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]

[20:50] <cacaocaca> i can t close all my page for go in my desktop
[20:50] <dstokes> there's about 6 resources returning 404s
[20:51] <dstokes> breaking all my installations
[20:51] <ObrienDave> !precise
[20:51] <Fohlen> OerHeks: http://pastebin.com/qcQNJpyW does that seem quiet unusal to you too?
[20:51] <ikonia> dstokes: that file doesn't exist
[20:51] <dstokes> right. not sure why it's being queried
[20:51] <Fohlen> OerHeks: happens when I run: apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic --fix-missing
[20:51] <jhutchins> dstokes: Well, I can confirm it's 404
[20:52] <ObrienDave> yes 404
[20:52] <dstokes> how can i debug this? /etc/sources looks normal
[20:53] <jhutchins> dstokes: Interesting.  Packages doesn't exist in other releases, it's either .bz2 or .gz
[20:53] <ObrienDave> could be just a mirror error
[20:54] <jhutchins> dstokes: Pastebin the sources.list.
[20:55] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> Can anyone help with a bcmwl wireless setup?
[20:55] <jhutchins> ObrienDave: I looked at a couple of other releases, it's all .gz or .bz2

[21:00] <ciuino> What is the difference between nvidia, nvidia-updates, and nvidia Unified Memory kernel module?
[21:00] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> Hardware: I am using a 2.6GHz Intel Core i5 Mac that Dual-Boots OS X and Ubuntu (fully installed on partition; not just Live USB)

[21:00] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> I have no Ethernet port on my mac. I have no cdrom on my mac.
[21:00] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> The Problem: When I boot Ubuntu, I attempt to activate the Broadcom Driver by going to: System Settings > Additonal Drivers
[21:00] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> Here, i attempt to enable the Broadcom Driver (by clicking the enable option right above the Do Not Use Option). I then click Apply Changes (not sure about the exact text used here). However, after entering my password, the option immediately reverts back to the Do Not Use Option. This happens every time I try to enable it.

[21:00] <ODB> Nvidia unified memory is what it says on the tin.
[21:00] <ODB> As opposed to virtual memory
[21:01] <jhutchins> dstokes: Sorry, not coming up with anything.  It could be a transient mirror problem.
[21:01] <Fleck> hey, 12.04 LTS - after do-release-upgrade in terminal I get "No new releases found"
[21:01] <ODB> Fleck
[21:01] <dstokes> jhutchins: thx for your help. gonna run with that and see if i can't figure it out
[21:01] <Venehacker> I want to install ubuntu but not as
[21:01] <ODB>  Type in

[21:01] <ODB> "sudo apt-get update"
[21:02] <ODB> Update package details
[21:02] <Fleck> ODB: I did that many times, not helping!
[21:02] <ODB>  Then type in "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[21:02] <jhutchins> Fleck: There may be a transient problem with the mirrors right now.
[21:02] <Venehacker> :-(
[21:02] <pinumbernumber> jhutchins, ikonia, I'll go with the tar-it-all-up filesystem backup after all. should probably do that as regular practice actually. Thanks
[21:02] <Orukusaki> just installed ubuntu 14.04 and it has aircrack-ng in repositroy
[21:02] <Fleck> ODB: up to date!
[21:03] <William_Gates> Orukusaki: arent you bad
[21:03] <ODB> Well I'm stumped Fleck
[21:03] <Fleck> jhutchins: so I need to swap/change server?
[21:03] <ODB>  You should ask ubottu
[21:03] <ODB> ubottu being all intelligent and all
[21:03] <jhutchins> Fleck: Just give it some time, like maybe tomorrow.
[21:03] <Orukusaki> yeaaaah
[21:03] <Fleck> jhutchins: ok, I can do that!
[21:04] <ODB> ubottu nobody thinks you're intelligent
[21:04] <ODB> You may as well return from the depths of hell you were once cast
[21:04] <ObrienDave> ODB, lay off the bot abuse, please
[21:05] <ODB>  How does a bot feel "abuse", precisely?
[21:05] <grobe0ba> ODB: regardless of the fact that a bot cannot feel, it is still very OT, and trollish
[21:05] <ikonia> ODB: it's a tool to help the channel, can you stop playing with it please.
[21:05] <grobe0ba> please cease and desist
[21:05] <ikonia> is that clearer ?
[21:05] <ODB> How about programming it to be useful and not making smart arse remarks
[21:05] <ODB>  Fine fine
[21:05] <ODB> I shall stop
[21:05] <ultrixx> how about you not making smart ass remarks?
[21:06] <ikonia> ok, I think we've got it sorted now
[21:06] <ikonia> lets move on please.
[21:06] <asher1> Hello i need please Help where i can find plugin i see in this link is have plugin
[21:06] <asher1> http://fluffy.jussi01.com/devel/wiki/Plugins
[21:06] <asher1> !help plugin
[21:06] <Martiini> ikonia help!
[21:06] <ikonia> Martiini: just ask the channel for the help you need
[21:07] <asher1> someone can help me
[21:07] <asher1> ?
[21:07] <Martiini> I was testing if ikonia is a bot
[21:07] <ikonia> asher1: what do you want ?
[21:07] <ObrienDave> Martiini, you DON'T want to test that theory
[21:07] <labsin> Anyone that knows something about partition tables?
[21:08] <ObrienDave> labsin, ask, please
[21:08] <labsin> I have dd something to sda
[21:08] <asher1> i want plugins for SupyBot
[21:08] <asher1> like in here
[21:08] <labsin> and The partion table is messed up
[21:08] <asher1> where i can find this?
[21:08] <William_Gates> labsin: i guess you dd'ed an iso
[21:08] <ikonia> asher1: it lists the names of the plugins in that wiki page
[21:08] <labsin> a small one yes
[21:08] <William_Gates> and you get like partition 1 8 9
[21:08] <labsin> yes
[21:08] <ikonia> asher1: so you get them from the supybot plugin site
[21:08] <William_Gates> all i can say is
[21:09] <William_Gates> its normal
[21:09] <labsin> William_Gates, I know
[21:09] <labsin> But I'm still running on this pc
[21:09] <asher1> i see plugins but i want like in this bot
[21:09] <labsin> And if you power it down, it wont start again.
[21:09] <OkabeOkabeOkabe> I am having trouble with bcm4360
[21:09] <ikonia> asher1: so load the plugins into a bot
[21:10] <asher1> where?
[21:10] <asher1> this from ubuntu
[21:10] <Martiini> anyone knows any good US numbers to call?
[21:10] <labsin> William_Gates, Do you know any way to 'restore' the previous partion info
[21:10] <asher1> http://fluffy.jussi01.com/devel/wiki/Plugins
[21:10] <OerHeks> asher1, a little reading brings you to https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bots/ubuntu-bots/
[21:10] <ikonia> asher1: ubottu is just a supybot loading the plugins listed on that page
[21:10] <jhutchins> labsin: What did you dd?
[21:10] <William_Gates> labsin: do you want the whole thing deleted?
[21:10] <ikonia> Martiini: nothing to do with this channel - so please keep it out
[21:11] <jhutchins> labsin: Not really any way to recover the partition table.  That's probably not all that got overwritten either.
[21:11] <OerHeks> asher1, not sure those plugins are public.
[21:11] <Martiini> labsin, testdisk & fdisk , try them
[21:11] <asher1> yes
[21:11] <asher1> i see now command
[21:11] <asher1> s
[21:12] <asher1> like this
[21:12] <asher1> supybot.plugins.Bantracker.enabled
[21:12] <thurstylark> Does anyone know of a good reference that details the different filesystems and their abilities for linux?
[21:12] <Martiini> labsin, did testdisk help with partition table? .. -- ??
[21:12] <labsin> jhutchins, Yes I know.  I see
[21:20] <OerHeks> thurstylark, read only is safe, AFAIK
[21:21] <Fleck> jhutchins: maybe you have some other ideas I can try at the moment?
[21:21] <smart_developer1> It seems that for chmod for a file/directory, 755 and 644 seem to be pretty common.
[21:21] <OerHeks> thurstylark, for writing you need to disable journaling ( and you don't want that
[21:21] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/hfsplus
[21:21] <thurstylark> Slart: that sounds loaded ;)
[21:22] <ikonia> there is no such think as "common"
[21:22] <ikonia> ot's what's needed
[21:22] <thurstylark> OerHeks: mmkay. Thanks.
[21:23] <Slart> thurstylark: nah, no worries =)
[21:23] <smart_developer1> It seems that for chmod for a file/directory, 755 and 644 seem to be pretty common -- in which types of cases do you generally use one, or the other ?
[21:23] <ikonia> smart_developer1: there is no such thing as "common" as I just said
[21:24] <thurstylark> Slart: The story is that I am moving my mobile machine from a MBP to ubuntu, and my desk machine is still Mavericks. I would prefer HFS+ for my thumb drive if possible, but if FAT is the way to go, then, whatever :P
[21:25] <Slart> thurstylark: I usually just go with ext4 or ntfs if I really have to use it in some kind of microsoft-land =)
[21:27] <thurstylark> Yeah. The support for NTFS on a Mac is good enough for the meantime, but if I need to change partitions on a mac, I only have FAT32, exFAT, or HFS+ availible to choose from.
[21:27] <bsm117532> Hi folks, I'm trying to make a boot usb with a casper-rw partition.  But nothing I do seems to cause it to use the casper-rw partition as a persistent data store.
[21:27] <thurstylark> Also, Mac is super picky about wanting HFS+ for some stuff
[21:28] <skinux> What package has tool for configure scripts?
[21:29] <ikonia> skinux: what do you want to do
[21:29] <skinux> I want to compile from source
[21:29] <ikonia> then it depends on the tests the configure script is running
[21:30] <ikonia> skinux: what is it you want to build ?
[21:30] <skinux> autogen can't work because there is no configure
[21:30] <ikonia> skinux: it's not a black and white answer
[21:30] <skinux> I want to compile an MP3 tag editor
[21:30] <ikonia> skinux: is it not in the ubuntu repos
[21:31] <skinux> Apparently it is.
[21:31] <ikonia> ok, use that then
[21:32] <skinux> Where is configure if I ever write my own software? I'd need to compile it..
[21:32] <ikonia> skinux: if you write your own software you'll know what you need as you'll have written it
[21:33] <OerHeks> !build
[21:33] <DorianGrey> \list
[21:34] <wt79> can anyone help with a small mythbuntu problem?? the mythtv channel isnt responding

[21:36] <wt79> yeah im in there now
[21:37] <thurstylark> Mmkay. Just checking. Someone might know, but this chan is more desktop-focused. :)
[21:37] <wt79> i figured that. thanks anyway
[21:37] <thurstylark> From what I gather, the mythtv channel is probably a bit slower ;P

[21:39] <Krixvar> Still having issues with my nvidia drivers, not sure if anyone was around yesterday when I was talking about it - at this point I think its that the kernel module isn't building and/or loading correctly.. any ideas?
[21:39] <Psil0Cybin> Krixvar: What kind of issues are you having? what did you do prior to having those issues? Did you install drivers from the Nvidia website?
[21:40] <frezix> http://kpaste.net/cbdffa385 - does this mean that the GPG key has been compromised?
[21:40] <Krixvar> Psil0Cybin: They seem to have broken after an apt upgrade that I didn't notice affected graphics drivers... gotta run and make a phone call real quick, mind if I give you a forums link where I described it in pretty good detail?
[21:41] <Psil0Cybin> Krixvar: yea let me try a go at it, honestly I am not the guy when it comes to drivers...but i did fiddle with nvidia drivers and got it working before but not the results i really wnated so..
[21:42] <Krixvar> Psil0Cybin: Hey, if you've gotten it working you might have found something I'm missing.. here ya go, I'll be back soon hopefully, thanks! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2245196

[22:14] <maddawg2> or something llike that
[22:14] <chaotix> ok i will try iface auto eth0 up
[22:14] <chaotix> i did ifconfig eth0 up and that hadnt worked
[22:15] <Krixvar> a little more testing... the nvidia module appears to load fine (shows up in lsmod), but starting lightdm still isn't using it.. so I suppose its either the module is broken but can still load or my system is choosing not to use the driver for some reason
[22:16] <chaotix> oh you mean in my config file
[22:17] <maddawg2> auto eth0
[22:17] <maddawg2> iface eth0 inet static
[22:17] <maddawg2> thats what i meant
[22:17] <maddawg2> auto eth0
[22:17] <maddawg2> do that first
[22:17] <chaotix> i am not sure what messed it up, but in my network manager indicator menu, it says device not managed
[22:17] <maddawg2> yes
[22:17] <maddawg2> if you use the network config file it overrides the network manager
[22:17] <maddawg2> best to just uninstall it
[22:18] <maddawg2> the network manager is different
[22:18] <maddawg2> and uses it's own config file
[22:18] <maddawg2> i would remove it and just use the interface.config file to be honest
[22:18] <maddawg2> /etc/network/interfaces
[22:18] <chaotix> ok, so just sudo rm /etc/network/interfaces
[22:18] <chaotix> ?
[22:19] <maddawg2> ummm no
[22:19] <maddawg2> lol
[22:19] <chaotix> lol
[22:19] <maddawg2> that'd be bad
[22:19] <chaotix> glad i asked then
[22:19] <maddawg2> you want to uninstall the network manager
[22:19] <maddawg2> sudo apt-get purge network-manager
[22:19] <maddawg2> that will get rid of it
[22:20] <maddawg2> then config the interface file
[22:20] <chaotix> if i showed you the pastebin of everything i did, and what my /etc/network/interfaces file looks like, could you tell me what to undo that way?
[22:20] <maddawg2> yes but the issue is you still have network-manager installed
[22:20] <chaotix> ok i will purge network-manager
[22:20] <maddawg2> you need to remove the ubuntu one
[22:20] <chaotix> and here are the pastes
[22:20] <maddawg2> and then it will use your interface one
[22:20] <chaotix> paste.ubuntu.com/8406505
[22:21] <chaotix> paste.ubuntu.com/8406506
[22:21] <maddawg2> ok chaotix where are your configs tho?
[22:21] <maddawg2> that doesnt help me at all
[22:21] <mzaza> I have been trying to download a 1GB file for a couple of days. I have unstable connection, so I am looking for a download manager like on Windows for Ubuntu which integrates with Chrome or Firefox. I tried wget but it wont work well because it can't load cookies and the file is protected and I have to be logged on.
[22:22] <chaotix> mad
[22:22] <maddawg2> chaotix do you know how to see the config file?
[22:22] <chaotix> i do not
[22:22] <chaotix> unless you mean the /etc/network/interfaces one
[22:22] <maddawg2> sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[22:22] <chaotix> that is the second paste
[22:22] <maddawg2> yes
[22:22] <maddawg2> oh i dont see a second paste
[22:22] <maddawg2> oh wait
[22:23] <maddawg2> i do
[22:23] <maddawg2> client cut it off
[22:23] <chaotix> ok
[22:23] <chaotix> paste.ubuntu.com/8406506
[22:23] <maddawg2> yea i can see what's up already
[22:23] <chaotix> oh awesome
[22:24] <maddawg2> you are missing auto eth0 before your iface eth0
[22:24] <maddawg2> look at auto lo
[22:24] <maddawg2> you need that same thing but auto eth0
[22:24] <chaotix> ok
[22:24] <maddawg2> put it above iface eth0 inet static
[22:24] <maddawg2> and then save it
[22:24] <maddawg2> then do "sudo service networking restart"
[22:25] <maddawg2> but also remove network-manager so it doesnt mess it up
[22:25] <maddawg2> you should only use one or the other
[22:25] <chaotix> and then reinstall it?
[22:25] <maddawg2> no
[22:25] <chaotix> ok
[22:25] <maddawg2> you dont need network-manager
[22:26] <maddawg2> it's a completely different thing
[22:26] <maddawg2> the /etc/network/nterfaces is ran by the linux OS
[22:26] <maddawg2> the network-manager uses a completely different config file
[22:26] <chaotix> how will i connect to networks in the future
[22:26] <maddawg2> and doesnt even tie into the built in one
[22:26] <maddawg2> what do you mean?
[22:27] <chaotix> i purged it, and now there is no network indicator in my panel
[22:27] <maddawg2> if you're connected to a dhcp server you'll change the config
[22:27] <maddawg2> yes that is correct
[22:27] <maddawg2> the network-manager is a gui
[22:27] <maddawg2> it's stupid
[22:27] <maddawg2> you can still get DHCP addresses
[22:27] <chaotix> i was just setting the static ip so that i could put my router into client bridge mode
[22:28] <maddawg2> ok then once you're done with that just delete the eth0 settings and change inet static to inet dhcp
[22:28] <chaotix> ok so how do i connect now
[22:28] <maddawg2> what do you mean how do you connect?
[22:28] <maddawg2> i'm confused
[22:29] <maddawg2> do you mean how do you make it dhcp again to get an IP automatically?
[22:29] <chaotix> i mean, how do i connect and disconnect to the internet now that i no longer have the network manager
[22:29] <maddawg2> ummm you connect using your computer
[22:29] <maddawg2> lol
[22:29] <chaotix> i wasnt trying to learn some new way of using my computer just now, i just wanted to fix that problem
[22:29] <maddawg2> how do you connect
[22:30] <maddawg2> it's not a new way
[22:30] <maddawg2> how did you connect before?
[22:30] <maddawg2> you connect wireless or wired?
[22:30] <chaotix> normally i would go to the network manager indicator on the panel, and select the network i want to connect to
[22:30] <maddawg2> wifi?
[22:30] <chaotix> sometimes
[22:31] <maddawg2> ok you just need a wifi tool that relies on that interfaces
[22:31] <chaotix> in this particular case, i was connected using usb tethering on my cell phone, but after that sudo purge network-manager i am not even connected to the internet
[22:31] <chaotix> lol
[22:31] <maddawg2> sudo apt-get install wicd
[22:31] <chaotix> but i cant because i have no connection now
[22:31] <maddawg2> oh
[22:31] <maddawg2> i see
[22:31] <chaotix> lol
[22:31] <maddawg2> you never said you were usb tethering
[22:31] <maddawg2> probably something you should have mentoned
[22:32] <chaotix> ok well i can prolly get onto a wifi networ
[22:32] <maddawg2> i dont really know how to do that part since i never use it
[22:32] <chaotix> temporarily
[22:32] <maddawg2> yes
[22:32] <maddawg2> you'll need to do that
[22:32] <maddawg2> and you can use another network-manager
[22:32] <chaotix> how can i connect to a wifi network real quick
[22:32] <maddawg2> or the same one
[22:33] <maddawg2> wifi connect MyNetworkNameA
[22:33] <maddawg2> but that's a different interface from eth0
[22:33] <chaotix> "wifi: command not found"
[22:34] <maddawg2> sudo iwlist eth1 scan
[22:34] <maddawg2> try that
[22:34] <maddawg2> does anything show up
[22:35] <maddawg2> http://blog.tplus1.com/blog/2008/06/13/how-to-connect-to-a-wireless-network-from-the-ubuntu-command-line/
[22:35] <maddawg2> once you are connected you can use another network-manager
[22:35] <daftykins> wpa-supplicant may end up making you tear your hair out
[22:35] <chaotix> i hear you, but now i cant seem to connect
[22:35] <chaotix> lol
[22:36] <maddawg2> well you probably should have mentioned all this
[22:36] <chaotix> interface doesnt support scanning
[22:36] <maddawg2> did you see that link?
[22:36] <chaotix> i am not trying to point fingers
[22:36] <chaotix> ok thanks
[22:37] <maddawg2> http://blog.tplus1.com/blog/2008/06/13/how-to-connect-to-a-wireless-network-from-the-ubuntu-command-line/
[22:37] <chaotix> i am reading it now
[22:37] <maddawg2> i never have this problem cuz my ubuntu machine is hardwired with static
[22:37] <maddawg2> and my laptop i use wicd
[22:37] <maddawg2> which connects to wifi
[22:37] <maddawg2> but uses settings in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:45] <chaotix> ok so for me, the essid i need to connect to is called SDG41, my interface is wlan0, and the key is 1f901cbe2c
[22:45] <chaotix> and the key is wep
[22:45] <chaotix> that tutorial is a lil murky for keys
[22:45] <the_last> Hi guys I'm having a weird problem with SSH, when I change the port in the config and do /etc/init.d/restart it doesn't work, and I don't think it's actually restarting the service... Any suggestions?
[22:46] <daftykins> the_last: that's not how services are handled anymore. "sudo service sshd restart"
[22:47] <the_last> daftykins: sshd: unrecognized service
[22:47] <daftykins> maybe ssh
[22:47] <the_last> ah
[22:47] <the_last> yep
[22:47] <daftykins> and confirm with 'netstat -tuln' ?
[22:47] <the_last> daftykins: thanks :)
[22:47] <daftykins> no problemo
[22:47] <Krixvar> daftykins: just wanted to thank you for pointing me in the right direction yesterday with the nvidia drivers, turns out I had the bumblebee package installed from when I had been messing around with cuda and it was breaking things
[22:48] <daftykins> Krixvar: aaaah that setup issue, that makes sense why it never identified the nvidia module being there then - :D
[22:48] <maddawg2> the_last do you run /etc/init.d/restart
[22:48] <Seannie> i would like to turn about 30 photos into a time lapse, using FFMPEG, all photos have been renamed already to a numerical sequence starting img001, and ending img032.jpg I do not fully understand the syntax of the commandline for ffmpeg and I keep getting file not found errors and i don't quite understand why
[22:48] <maddawg2> cuz you're not telling it waht to restart
[22:48] <maddawg2> sshd restart
[22:48] <Krixvar> daftykins: the weirdest part is that it was there! 0.o when I was checking it with lsmod today it showed as being loaded, and if it wasn't it would be after I did modprobe
[22:48] <maddawg2> oh wait daftykins solved it
[22:48] <the_last> ^
[22:48] <the_last> :P
[22:48] <maddawg2> my fault
[22:48] <maddawg2> i was too eager to help
[22:49] <the_last> haha, thanks anyway
[22:49] <maddawg2> and it was ssh not sshd
[22:49] <maddawg2> but i made the same error he did
[22:49] <daftykins> Krixvar: i suspect bumblebee changes it somehow
[22:49] <Krixvar> daftykins: so then I figured something was taking precedence over it, and eventually found that it was bumblebee trying to switch it to integrated or something... except I'm on a desktop so that doesn't work :P
[22:49] <Krixvar> daftykins: yeah, its apparently for laptops with integrated and discrete graphics, lets you offload graphics intensive stuff to discrete then pushes it back through integrated
[22:50] <daftykins> Krixvar: yep i'm on such an nvidia optimus laptop right now! albeit not in Linux
[22:50] <chaotix> ok so i am doing ifconfig wlan0 essid "SGD41" key s:1f901cbe2c
[22:50] <chaotix> and getting the output:SDET failed on device wlan0
[22:50] <Dina> hello is there any one here who can help me with lighttpd
[22:50] <Krixvar> daftykins: ah cool, I'm definitely gonna have to fiddle with it sometime... but on a laptop not a desktop haha :) thanks again for the help, definitely wouldn't have been able to fix it with school and all without your pointers
[22:51] <Krixvar> daftykins: sorry about the pm by the way
[22:51] <chaotix> hopefully i have a copy of ubuntu laying around on a usb key
[22:52] <Seannie> my question doesn't have to just be about FFMPEG i believe it could be answered by someone who knows about commandline syntax in terminal
[22:52] <chaotix> for anyone wondering, if someone ever tells you to apt-get purge network manager because you dont need it, make sure you have all the facts
[22:52] <chaotix> nite everybody
[22:52] <Dina> ooo
[22:52] <Dina> do not leave until you help me to
[22:52] <daftykins> Krixvar: ;) no worries
[22:53] <daftykins> Dina: what's that? i should go to bed? oh ok
[22:53] <k1l_> !ask | Dina
[22:54] <Krixvar> Seannie: I'm not the one for super fancy syntax but if its basicish I may be able to help.. what's up?
[22:56] <Krixvar> Seannie: whoops missed your post above, never done that but let me see if I can find anything
[22:57] <Seannie> @krixvar ty
[22:59] <Krixvar> Seannie: here's a link that looks like what you're trying to do, skip past the first part if you've already renamed em: http://www.hackourlife.com/make-time-lapse-video-from-images-in-linux-ffmpeg/
[23:00] <Krixvar> Seannie: unfortunately I haven't done it myself so I can't do too much more other than try to help if you have specific errors from that
[23:02] <Seannie> well... it is ALMOST working but not quite
[23:02] <Krixvar> Seannie: cool, where's it breaking?
[23:03] <Seannie> i'm assuming i need to be in the working directory to run the commandline in term
[23:03] <Krixvar> Seannie: that's what it looks like yeah, then the image%3d.jpg thing is some sorta wildcard
[23:04] <Seannie> i have 32 photos named "september 2014 680.jpg" to "september 2014 718.jpg" and they are the only files in that folder
[23:04] <Seannie> the image%3d.jpg is tripping me up
[23:04] <Seannie> what nearly worked was using quotes
[23:05] <Seannie> but the resulting output file had no content, no duration
[23:05] <Krixvar> Seannie: general when you're referring to filenames with spaces you need a \ - so something like september\ 2014\ %3d.jpg
[23:06] <daftykins> or hit tab to auto complete
[23:06] <Krixvar> Seannie: let me see if I have any files sitting around I can test this one, but yeah autocomplete's much easier
[23:08] <Seannie> i am now looking at this site https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Create%20a%20video%20slideshow%20from%20images to see if the additional arguments are what i need to make this work
[23:09] <Krixvar> If the order doesn't matter you can try just using *.jpg
[23:11] <Krixvar> hmm the command's not working for me though.. and saying its a deprecated program so not sure haha
[23:11] <Seannie> i think because all the files in the folder are the same and for the purpose of the time lapse, i could use cat *.jpg to work instead couldn't i?
[23:13] <Krixvar> a lot of the examples I'm seeing seem to be doing just that
[23:14] <popey> Krixvar: i use mencoder to do this...
[23:14] <popey> Krixvar: http://popey.com/blog/2014/07/03/creating-time-lapse-videos-on-ubuntu/
[23:14] <FreewheelinFrank> Any Ubuntu drivers for a Tascam US-122 USB Audio/MIDI Interface?
[23:15] <Krixvar> popey: Oh no way, that's you? I was just looking at that :) Maybe you could help Seannie out more than I can haha I'm just googling things
[23:15] <Seannie> i was also consulting http://ffmpeg.org/faq.html and it shows how to use cat to pipe jpgs to mp4 but the command does not say anything about frame rate per image or how to set a loop parameter
[23:15] <popey> lolz
[23:16] <Krixvar> not sure Seannie, popey seems to be more of your guy for this one ;)
[23:16] <daftykins> pretty sure ffmpeg was dropped in ubuntu anyway 0o
[23:16] <daftykins> in whatever way that was
[23:16] <Krixvar> yeah it says that when I run it
[23:16] <popey> nah, it was switched for libav
[23:17] <Krixvar> I've gotta go for now, good luck Seannie sorry I couldn't be more help
[23:17] <popey> Seannie: I'm just off to bed, but the blog post above and the linked script on github should help
[23:17] <Seannie> mencoder is what you suggest?
[23:17] <popey> works for me
[23:17] <popey> Seannie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZXxNvuQCNE example result
[23:18] <Horxnyphkiyns> oh big boy, you have any Ubuntu drivers for a Tascam US-122 USB Audio/MIDI Interface?
[23:21] <Seannie> @popey ok so seems i've picked it up when i got ffmpeg its also commandline yeah?
[23:22] <daftykins> Seannie: pretty sure the web link he provided explains all required.
[23:22] <Wryness> I have tried to clean free space by overwriting it, with bleachbit, today... as it took like 1000 minutes to finish I stopped the program. Since that moment my file system is very slow (copying with only 1 MB/sec for example). Why can that be and what can I do?
[23:22] <Wryness> using Ubuntu 14.04
[23:25] <stevendale1> how do i install grub on a 3tb hd with a gpt partition table?
[23:26] <loa> hello. I have settings that my display will go black after 5 minutes (i think it is default one). But for some reason it goes black after 5 minutes, but after some time it goes active again. What it can be and how i can debug it?
[23:26] <Seannie> I'm sorry Daftykins, browser took time to load, and yes, its a nice time lapse Popey
[23:27] <squinty> Wryness:   personally I would probably run a file system check first.    sudo touch /forcefsck     type that in a terminal and reboot.
[23:28] <jhutchins> or shutdown -r now
[23:28] <jhutchins> or shutdown -rD now
[23:29] <jhutchins> or shutdown -rD now
[23:29] <jhutchins> or shutdown -Fr now
[23:29] <jhutchins> Stupid fingers!
[23:29] <daftykins> :P bit spammy
[23:29] <stevendale1> jhutchins: sudo killall --user root should instantly reboot your computer, but sometimes it does other things
[23:29] <Wryness> sudo touch/forcefsck -> command not found
[23:30] <squinty> space between touch and /
[23:30] <Wryness> that gives me no output
[23:30] <squinty> or try what jhutchins mentioned
[23:30] <eeee> Wryness: after you restart it'll fsck
[23:30] <squinty> not supposed too.
[23:31] <Wryness> ah ok
[23:31] <eeee> ( using touch /forcefsck )
[23:31] <Wryness> brb
[23:32] <cmdr-keen> Hello all.  I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty" 64 bit and need to know how to force ubuntu to use a proprietary driver of my choice.  The issue is that when I use the "Additional Drivers" feature, the driver that it selects changes every time I do an update.  Thanks for any help you can offer.
[23:33] <eeee> cmdr-keen: if nobody knows a better way, look into apt_preferences ( man apt_preferences )
[23:33] <stevendale1> how big is the server that handles #ubuntu?
[23:34] <eeee> stevendale1: that doesn't make sense, #ubuntu is on freenode
[23:34] <stevendale1> eeee: there is 1626 users in this channel
[23:35] <daftykins> stevendale1: that's off topic, feel free to discuss this IRC network in #freenode
[23:35] <eeee> stevendale1: yeah, and around 1500 in ##linux
[23:35] <Seannie> program i want you to do this and this and this with this parameter and put it into this container
[23:35] <daftykins> eeee: hi sir
[23:35] <eeee> daftykins: hi daftykins
[23:35] <daftykins> :)
[23:35] <eeee> :)
[23:35] <Freedomx21> Hola
[23:36] <Freedomx21> Alguien de aqui habla en español?
[23:36] <eeee> !es | Freedomx21
[23:37] <loa> !ru | loa
[23:37] <Wryness> so i did touch /forcefsck and rebooted, the filesystem was checked, no errors. Its still as slow as before
