[12:58] <Valarkin_> cause that's what OVH says is the only way to do raid 6
[12:59] <iptable> Valarkin_, you have no access to console?
[12:59] <inte> hello
[12:59] <S-O-L> I though this was a support channel
[12:59] <iptable> S-O-L, what else is it then?
[12:59] <inte> i burned an iso with k3b and it wouldnt boot
[12:59] <Valarkin_> I can ssh in to the recuemode machine, but no discs
[12:59] <S-O-L> I asked a question but i was ignored :(
[12:59] <Valarkin_> cd/dvd
[12:59] <inte> cant mount loopback
[12:59] <iptable> jkcso, I did, when I was coding parts of kvm-qemu
[12:59] <inte> maybe i have to do it manually
[13:00]  * jkcso shrugs.
[13:00] <inte> can someone hand over the necessary command please?
[13:00] <jkcso> iptable: You're still mistaken. Dunno what to tell you.
[13:00] <scatterp> S-O-L: some times questions are missed or no one knows the answer or saw it so if you waited 5 - 10 mins ask again
[13:00] <inte> thx in advance
[13:00] <cfhowlett> !patience | S-O-L, for instant answers, purchase a canoncial support package.  otherwise, patience ...
[13:00] <iptable> jkcso, is that enough research? you cannot, I know that for a fact from CPU design docs I hold, access ring0 and use the CPU for emulation. you would have to emulate whole CPU, which is possible, but is not even ring0-type hypervisor. it's qemu style whole CPU emulation
[13:00] <scatterp> S-O-L: give me a sec and i will help you out
[13:01] <iptable> jkcso, so you telling me I can access ring0 of CPU without VT-x? do tell, one official document. cause intel's and amd's ones state otherwise.
[13:01] <buzzkill> S-O-L you just asked to ask...
[13:01] <S-O-L> buzzkill, No .-.
[13:01] <S-O-L> buzzkill , I asked before how to install direct X on wine in ubuntu
[13:01] <jkcso> iptable: I didn't make any claims about HOW it occurred. Simple fact is: x86 guests can run on x64 hosts without VT-x.
[13:01] <buzzkill> S-O-L:  try winetricks
[13:01] <jkcso> iptable: I don't know why you're taking this so personally, but that's all there is to it.
[13:01] <S-O-L> buzzkill , Don't work, I even tried downloading the installer but it still dun work
[13:01] <iptable> jkcso, in the same way 64-bit guests can, and same way that mips guests can
[13:01] <scatterp> S-O-L: take a look here http://www.dedoimedo.com/games/wine-directx.html
[13:02] <iptable> jkcso, it's a whole cpu emulation. they can't run, they can stagger
[13:02] <scatterp> buzzkill: he did ask above that
[13:02] <jkcso> iptable: Maybe that's true. As I said, I'm a network engineer, not a virt layer programmer.
[13:02] <jkcso> iptable: However, the fact remains: It IS a capability. Perhaps not ideal, but it is there.
[13:02] <iptable> jkcso, if you want to call it that
[13:03] <S-O-L> scatterp , I saw that, I did not add most of the thing i asked me to add though, I just went straight to installing Direct X, Which asked me a pop question where i want to put it, I put it in program files x86 in wine directory
[13:03] <cntbasket> whenever I open .mkv files in VLC, the video artifacts, lags, and freezes a lot. what do i do?
[13:03] <iptable> jkcso, it is a feature provided, if you are stating that. I'll agree. It is NOT the standard emulation with ring0 core access you normally get though in any shape or form. it's emulating whole CPU
[13:03] <jkcso> iptable: Wasn't debating that in the slightest.
[13:03] <jkcso> iptable: Obviously, the PROPER solution is to enable VT-x and do it the 'right' way.
[13:03] <scatterp> S-O-L: thats the correct place to put it so where is the problem exactly ?
[13:04] <iptable> S-O-L, that's a wine question, not ubuntu related
[13:04] <jkcso> iptable: But a last-ditch fallback is available for 32-bit guests.  :P
[13:04] <S-O-L> scatterp , The app that's dependant on direct x still complains
[13:04] <iptable> S-O-L, but still, answer: install playonlinux package, choose a container and click "install directx"
[13:04] <iptable> jkcso, ok, agreed
[13:04] <iptable> jkcso, let's move on then, as you suggested :)
[13:05] <scatterp> S-O-L:  yeah that is an application specific wine question you should really join #winehq for help if you dont get help you can message me
[13:05] <jkcso> iptable: Awesome, maybe we can discuss something I'm a bit more familiar with. :P
[13:05] <S-O-L> scatterp , Ok, Imma try going there, Thanks
[13:05] <iptable> S-O-L, playonlinux will preaare a wine container for you and patch direct-x in properly too. give it a shot. it';s in the repos.
[13:06] <iptable> jkcso, well, I'm also a (still learning on internet routing) networks engineer (moving away from other subjects)
[13:06] <S-O-L> iptable , I already have play on linux, How can i get said container? ;o
[13:06] <iptable> S-O-L, click "install" or "install game" or whatever it is called.
[13:06] <iptable> S-O-L, you need to consult playonlinux guide, it explains how to use it.
[13:06] <mishravikas> Hi all, I'm having problems with my amd graphics card in ubuntu 14.04, when I use Xorg drivers the performance is very poor I can even watch a single video and when I turn to fglrx I cant boot up and have to remove fglrx from tty1 any help please?
[13:06] <RoBo_V> jkcso, iptable, mat619 : Hyper V off and VT-x is enabled i can see in VM box under system
[13:07] <scatterp> S-O-L:  Just go in PoL install menu then use PlayOnLinux Functions in Other to install POL_Install_dxfullsetup, which is the full DirectX package, for your prefix.
[13:07] <iptable> RoBo_V, so it all works, or is there a problem?
[13:07] <RoBo_V> STILL SAME
[13:07] <RonWhoCares> iptable: It appears I don't have write permissions to /media/rpiggott/Users
[13:07] <scatterp> iptable: so nothing else i can do ?
[13:08] <iptable> RonWhoCares, you would need to add write permission there. if you don't have sudo/root, you cannot
[13:08] <jkcso> iptable: My focus is network and security engineering. Love the field.
[13:08] <scatterp> iptable: i was trying to bypass login using args but it wont take the password
[13:08] <jkcso>  m   h;
[13:08] <S-O-L> scatterp , I went to the  " Other " tab but i cannot find direct X
[13:09] <iptable> scatterp, no, you need the machine. if it's low spec, steam might not even start. steam needs a relatively new system with CPU extensions to work.
[13:09] <RonWhoCares> iptable: I am in terminal.  I have sudo access.  But doing chomd 777 Users isn't changing anything.  drwx------ 1 rpiggott rpiggott  4096 Sep  4 05:03 Users
[13:09] <mishravikas> please can anyone help me in fixing graphics performance in ubuntu 14.04?
[13:09] <iptable> scatterp, although, if it works in ubuntu but not xubuntu, you can either look for the difference, debug using strace, OR install ubuntu and install xfce on top
[13:10] <tomodachi> mishravikas: explain your problem and perhaps someone might know
[13:10] <iptable> RonWhoCares, you cannot do it without sudo
[13:10] <iptable> RonWhoCares, sudo chmod 777 Users
[13:10] <iptable> tomodachi, he did
[13:10] <RoBo_V> jkcso, iptable, mat619 : B'ful, I enabled 'Virtual State' something and it worked. Thank Yoy Guys. Love You <3
[13:10] <scatterp> iptable:  install ubuntu and install xfce on top (thx)
[13:11] <iptable> scatterp, yar, that's a good way. you get speed and full ubuntu deployment. you might find it's xfce fault then haha.
[13:11] <iptable> it's possible
[13:11] <scatterp> iptable: i suspect that
[13:11] <iptable> cntbasket, your CPU is too slow
[13:11] <scatterp> S-O-L: not sure you will need to check that in #winehq
[13:12] <scatterp> got to head out going afk
[13:12] <iptable> cntbasket, if CPU/GPU is too slow, you will get artefacts in VLC. alternatively if your CPU/GPU is overheating you will get those too.
[13:12] <mishravikas> tomodachi: I cant play videos properly as the image is always distorted
[13:12] <iptable> S-O-L, consult playonlinux docs, look around the GUI or ask on #winehq
[13:12] <jkcso> RoBo_V: Cheers! :)
[13:12] <RonWhoCares> iptable: When I do   "   $ sudo chmod 777 Users   "   I still get     "   drwx------ 1 rpiggott rpiggott  4096 Sep  4 05:03 Users   "
[13:12] <mat619> RoBo_V: cool, glad to hear :)
[13:12] <mat619> RoBo_V: enjoy your ubuntu VM!
[13:13] <S-O-L> iptable , scatterp , Ok.
[13:13] <iptable> have you got access to the dir that leads to the Users dir? the one above that is
[13:14] <RonWhoCares> Iptable 'Users' is a partition
[13:14] <iptable> Valarkin_, so you can ssh into a CD/DVD with rescuemode?
[13:14] <iptable> RonWhoCares, so that's an actual partition?
[13:15] <RonWhoCares> iptable: Yes.  I just installed 14.04 last night.  When I saw "Users"  listed in /media I assumed I had write access toit
[13:15] <iptable> RonWhoCares, 1. it is probably mounted with 700 permission enforced (to check issue mount), 2. the permissions of previous directories are still in force!
[13:15] <Valarkin_> iptable: i do not know if it is a cd/dvd - it says its a network instance
[13:16] <RonWhoCares> iptable: How can I mount it differently?
[13:16] <iptable> Valarkin_, ok, so you can boot it. can you see the drives under the fdisk -l ?
[13:16] <iptable> RonWhoCares, how did you mount it?
[13:16] <Valarkin_> iptable: I have access to things like parted though
[13:16] <iptable> Valarkin_, does parted see your disks?
[13:16] <RonWhoCares> iptable: It was done automatically
[13:16] <Valarkin_> yes to both
[13:16] <iptable> RonWhoCares, and that's an ext partition?
[13:17] <Valarkin_> iptable: sda to sdf
[13:17] <Valarkin_> man, i am amazed you can multitask all these :d
[13:17] <iptable> Valarkin_, can you install partman
[13:17] <RonWhoCares> iptable: No.  It is NTFS  .  This is so I can save my documents in both Windows and Linux
[13:18] <iptable> Valarkin_, nice, hey?
[13:18] <iptable> RonWhoCares, then the reason is that gvfs auto-mounted your partition in /media under the user you are currently logged in as
[13:18] <iptable> RonWhoCares, also, in case you don't realise, NTFS is a windows format. it doesn't accept file permissions like linux does
[13:18] <Valarkin_> iptable: not using apt-get install
[13:19] <iptable> RonWhoCares, so you cannot at will add and remove executable bit etc
[13:19] <iptable> Valarkin_, is it not there?
[13:20] <Valarkin_> "W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[13:20] <Valarkin_> E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
[13:20] <Valarkin_> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened."
[13:20] <iptable> Valarkin_, oh, never mind. its not in repos
[13:20] <RonWhoCares> iptable: Of course.  I should have thought of this.
[13:21] <Valarkin_> hm, just got an email that talks about adding a new drive to an existing raid - using mdadm?
[13:21] <iptable> RonWhoCares, no problem at all ;)
[13:21] <iptable> RonWhoCares, we all did this at some point
[13:21] <Valarkin_> some are more understanding of that than others iptable ;)
[13:22] <RonWhoCares> iptable: I guess the blood can leave my face then
[13:22] <RonWhoCares> hehehe
[13:22] <benson> hi
[13:23] <iptable> Valarkin_, so, 1. use parted to create 1 partition per drive, type mdraid (or dmraid, or raid). Then use mdadm to add raid6 and all drives to it. Then use parted to make that raid volume LVM type. THEN use lvm (lv/pv tools) to create a volume group on the raid volume and 3 logical volumes. Then use parted again to create partitions on the 3 logical volumes: /, /home and swap
[13:23] <iptable> Valarkin_, I will leave the googling for parted, mdadm and lvm usage to you as learning experience. if you manage it on your own, you will know damn lot about partitions and tools already
[13:23] <Valarkin_> iptable: cheers, copied - now to figure out what all that means :D
[13:24] <iptable> Valarkin_, have fun. if in doubt, PM me the question and I will answer when I am online
[13:24] <Valarkin_> yeah, I feel pretty satisfied having made it this far , it's just time and effort, and a bunch of points in the right direction. Many thanks.
[13:24] <Valarkin_> Brilliant, thanks for that.
[13:24] <iptable> no probs
[13:25] <iptable> inte, please clarify your question, you want to mount the ISO in your OS?
[13:25] <iptable> inte, what do you mean you created ISO using k3b as well? what ISO? from what? on what OS?
[13:26] <inte> iptable: my problem is pretty much the same as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1706921
[13:26] <inte> except that i dont want to boot ubuntu but avira rescue (which is based ob ubuntu)
[13:26] <inte> and a i cant do the md5 checksum test since avira doesnt supply any checksum
[13:27] <cfhowlett> inte, avira is not supported here.  ask avira for support
[13:27] <iptable> inte, so oyu checked md5sum against the ubuntu website?
[13:27] <inte> pretty bad habbit for a company that deals with security
[13:27] <inte> iptable: it most likely not the same
[13:27] <iptable> inte, so you could have downloaded the ISO with errors on line?
[13:27]  * cfhowlett thinks any distro that doesn't supply md5sum is just ... stupid.
[13:27]  * inte agrees with cfhowlett
[13:28] <inte> iptable: well how would i know
[13:28] <inte> i can mount the iso
[13:28] <inte> i can mount the cdrom
[13:28] <inte> however, the cdrom doesnt boot on two different boxes
[13:28] <iptable> inte, just because you can mount doesn't mean it's not corrupt
[13:28] <cfhowlett> iptable, perhaps you can help him in pm since , you know, it's not supported here???
[13:28] <inte> im about to try a third wand
[13:28] <iptable> inte, or maybe avira released a dud ISO
[13:28] <iptable> inte, 1. you cannot verify if ISO is downloaded correctly, which is plain wrong. I will assume your ISO is corrupt. 2. you should md5sum your CD against ISO after burn.
[13:29] <pvh_sa> good afternoon, I'm trying to figure out why my pulseaudio can't see my USB headset - /proc/asound/cards lists it, but  'aplay -l' doesn't list it and neither is it visible in the Sound Settings. any ideas?
[13:29] <iptable> cfhowlett, I know, finishing...
[13:29] <inte> cfhowlett: its an ubuntu based distro and many people ran into the same issue with ubuntu
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> inte: did you MD5 test the ISO?
[13:29] <iptable> ActionParsnip, he can't . they don't give md5sum for their ISO
[13:29] <inte> cfhowlett: i thought it could be related to k3b
[13:30] <inte> ActionParsnip: i cant find any md5 sums for that iso
[13:30] <inte> or maybe im just blind
[13:30] <cfhowlett> inte, without a valid checksum, kind of hard to troubleshoot, yes?
[13:30] <iptable> inte, ask avire for support. ALSO, some ISPs/networks might filter and cause downloads to ALWAYS finish early. so all your downloads could be bad. try using another internet connection somewhere and get them to give you md5sum.
[13:30] <iptable> inte, ask the company for the md5sum
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> inte: what is the ISO?
[13:31] <iptable> inte, and no, it's not supported here as ubuntu users experienced issues which looked similar to yours, they didn't experience YOUR issue. they could md5sum their ISO to start with. and "ubuntu based" != "ubuntu".
[13:32] <inte> ActionParsnip: http://www.avira.com/en/download/product/avira-rescue-system
[13:32] <cfhowlett> inte, more to the point, a distro that does NOT have an md5sum is fundamentally untrustworthy.  consider your options.
[13:32] <iptable> avira antivirus? duh...
[13:32] <Lunario> Is there an ubuntu tool to delete spaces out of file names and e.g. replace them with "_", in bulk?
[13:32] <iptable> Lunario, yes
[13:32] <inte> ok is there any rescue iso which is supported in this channel?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> inte: rescue for what?
[13:33] <anudas> inte: helou
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> inte: what are you trying to achieve
[13:33] <inte> Lunario: sed
[13:33] <cfhowlett> inte, a few details?  what are you trying to rescue?
[13:33] <inte> ActionParsnip: checkin a winxp box in the end
[13:33] <iptable> Lunario, find /path/to/dir -type f -name "* *" |while read fn; do newfn=$(echo "${fn}" |sed 's/ /_/g'); mv "${fn}" "${newfn}"; done
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> inte: check in what way?
[13:33] <iptable> Lunario, do test on some dud dir with a few test files. I just created that out of memory
[13:34] <iptable> inte, ubuntu liveCD
[13:34] <iptable> inte, ubuntu liveUSB
[13:34] <iptable> inte, rescue what?
[13:34] <anudas> gisomount
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> inte: what are you wanting to check? You can modify Windows registry and bootloader from Ubuntu.....
[13:34] <Lunario> iptable: Great, will try that :) Thank you!
[13:34] <inte> well, yesterday at the time of the facebook DOS the box appeared to be offline (regarding the icon) but still caused much traffic on the net so I suspect it might be compromised
[13:35] <inte> ActionParsnip: no I need a malwarescanner for windows which boots from external
[13:35] <cfhowlett> inte, that sounds more like penetration testing ...
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> inte: you can virus scan your windows partition from Ubuntu, but if the system is compromised I suggest you reinstall
[13:35] <mishravikas> Ican not see my dashboard or icons after activating fglrx for radeon in ubuntu 14.04 any help please?
[13:35] <inte> full system check
[13:35] <inte> ActionParsnip: but clamav sucks
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> inte: plus XP is dead, so why keep using it
[13:35] <iptable> inte, use ubuntu, not windows
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> inte: AVG runs on Ubuntu as well as lots of other AVs
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> inte: there is more than clamav
[13:35] <karab44> hello
[13:35] <inte> ActionParsnip: or is there anything better preinstalled on the ubunto liveiso?
[13:35] <iptable> inte, windows xp is out of support even by Ms, out of life, out of security patches
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> inte: you can install things from the web and so forth in the live CD desktop
[13:36] <iptable> inte, run ubuntu live CD, install clamav antivirus and run it. in the end any AV will only discover up to 90% of virusees. most are old...
[13:36] <inte> i only still have it because it is the only system i fount which can flash some of my devices through the network
[13:36] <karab44> Can you share some information about default Firewall service in Ubuntu? Is it enabled? If not, why it's not enabled and  should I enabled it?
[13:36] <inte> on win7 mediasense cannot be disabled
[13:36] <cfhowlett> !ufw | karab44
[13:37] <iptable> inte, then you should only use it for flushing such devices. now go and reinstall. it's the only way
[13:37] <karab44> cfhowlett: thank you
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> inte: may want to make a VM then and scrap the (possibly) compromised system where you cannot actually trust anything
[13:37] <cfhowlett> karab44, happy2help
[13:37] <karab44> :)
[13:37] <inte> iptable: i still dont even know if its really compromised
[13:37] <jkcso> inte, Is it Windows XP? If so, then it's compromised.
[13:37] <iptable> inte, or as ActionParsnip suggested. that's what I do. I have a virtualbox xp VM for such works and keep snapshots of it to restore from
[13:38] <inte> thanks for all the options, but i simply need a bootcd/rescue system which is pretty straight forward and should do the trick...
[13:38] <iptable> inte, if you are unsure if it's compromised, you must have been browing the internet on that XP machine, not flashing stuff. things can't infect your machine through NAT nor without your active browsing action
[13:38] <cfhowlett> inte, kali linux at www.kali.org
[13:39] <inte> iptable: the box is maybe about 10 years old
[13:39] <jkcso> inte: What you need, "simply," is to follow recommendations and best practices. Half-assing your way around security is inviting disaster
[13:39] <inte> it has been used to browse the net for sure
[13:39] <iptable> inte, it won't do the trick. that's what we telling you. and some of us have worked for AV companies in the past. the only thing that will do is reinstall. but if you insist, download something and start it. ubuntu live CD and install clamav once booted (it will install to ram) and run it.
[13:39] <iptable> inte, we only support ubuntu on ubuntu channel. stands to reason
[13:40] <k1l> inte: there are linux virius scan boot cds. just go for a search on it. if you dont want to use a regular ubuntu for that
[13:40] <inte> clamav has a bad target rate
[13:40] <inte> ok thanks
[13:40] <inte> so, back to the topic
[13:40] <iptable> ineiros_, clamav has a reasonably good rate
[13:40] <iptable> inte, ^
[13:40] <iptable> compared to symantec and mcaffee
[13:40] <inte> the most likely reason for a ubuntu image not booting is a corrupt image, right?
[13:40] <cfhowlett> iptable, so long as you've kept updates going, you've solved most issues.  enabling ufw and possibly installing an antivirus are also possible possible good practice.  and stay off the bad ***** sites
[13:40] <iptable> inte, that and, since you mention it's 10yo machine, most likely your CPU is not supported
[13:41] <iptable> inte, ubuntu resquires at least a 32-bit PAE kernel with some basic extensions. if you CPU is too old, it won't boot. I'm guessing that's what's happening
[13:41] <iptable> cfhowlett, why you telling me?
[13:41] <cfhowlett> iptable, doh!
[13:42] <cfhowlett> inte so long as you've kept updates going, you've solved most issues.  enabling ufw and possibly installing an antivirus are also possible possible good practice.  and stay off the bad ***** sites
[13:42] <iptable> cfhowlett, ;) funny, that's what I did 2 minutes ago to someone :D
[13:42] <streulma> Ubuntu encountered a flashing screen after suspend on my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 inch. Is there a way to solve?
[13:43] <iptable> streulma, single occurrance, all the time, or at random/
[13:43] <streulma> iptable all the time, not solved with PRAM reset or SMC...
[13:43] <iptable> ugh, macbooks and their GPU cards ... got the proprietary GPU driver running?
[13:43] <ddaa> join ##ec2
[13:44] <iptable> why?
[13:44] <iptable> oh, spammer
[13:44] <streulma> iptable it's Intel... on OSX keeps flashing on gray screens, in Ubuntu, only after suspend.
[13:45] <iptable> streulma, I thought apple used nvidia cards...
[13:45] <iptable> streulma, and on some they had hybrid graphics, both intel and nvidia. are you sure you are not one of those?
[13:46] <iptable> streulma, flashing gray screens when unsuspending or when suspended?
[13:46] <streulma> iptable, no, I have only Intel 4000, Apple can't solve my problem
[13:46] <streulma> I think the mainboard is stuck (videocard)
[13:46] <iptable> streulma, stuck where? It's normally soldered in pretty well
[13:47] <streulma> iptable, flashing whole screen after suspend on 3.16 kernel
[13:47] <iptable> streulma, please provide (in pastebin) output of sudo lshw (you may need to install it) or at least lspci
[13:47] <iptable> streulma, flashing when suspended OR when trying to unsuspend? it's a simple question
[13:47] <streulma> iptable, oh no, I mean after installed Intel Graphics
[13:48] <streulma> iptable I saye unsuspending (open the lid)
[13:48] <iptable> streulma, now lspci and if possible lshw please
[13:49] <inte> iptable: treied it on a newer laptop which returned the same error
[13:49] <iptable> inte, define newer
[13:49] <streulma> iptable no, macbook is in repair...
[13:49] <inte> around 4 years
[13:49] <streulma> by Apple
[13:49] <iptable> inte, well, that ISO is probably corrupt. you should be able to guess it. could be corrupt even on their website. 0 QA... avira
[13:49] <iptable> inte, when I say define, state your CPU and RAM
[13:50] <RoBo_V> Guys help me here , I have one HDD with 3 partiation already and 90GB space left for Ubuntu. But im not able to create further partitions.  As i need / , /home and /swap :(
[13:50] <iptable> streulma, wait, so you gave the laptop to apple and came here to tell us this happened?
[13:50] <iptable> streulma, have you tried instead to keep your finger on the power button for 15 seconds and see if it force-closes?
[13:50] <inte> iptable: model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU       M 350  @ 2.27GHz
[13:50] <iptable> streulma, or pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 to enter terminal mode?
[13:51] <iptable> inte, that's good enough for ubuntu.
[13:51] <streulma> iptable yes it cames from Ubuntu...
[13:51] <inte> i think so
[13:51] <iptable> inte, now get a proper working ISO
[13:51] <shubho> RoBo_V you can remove the partition which has 90GB space for ubuntu
[13:51] <streulma> iptable I don't have the notebook here !
[13:51] <inte> iptable: ill try my best, thanks :)
[13:51] <iptable> streulma, so why ask us!
[13:51] <RoBo_V> shubho: then ?
[13:51] <iptable> streulma, we can't obviously help you unless ytou have the issue at hand.
[13:52] <iptable> streulma, I am asking if you tried some basic stuff BEFORE you gave it back to apple...
[13:52] <streulma> iptable yes :)
[13:52] <iptable> RoBo_V, NOT /swap!!!
[13:52] <shubho> RoBo_V: then create your partition with that 90GB free space
[13:52] <iptable> RoBo_V, swap. it's not /swap. it's special type.
[13:52] <RoBo_V> iptable: yuo sorry !
[13:53] <iptable> RoBo_V, you can just use 1 partition, install ubuntu on it and use a swap file instead of swap partition. 90GB is low, so I would stick it all in one place.
[13:53] <cfhowlett> inte, but you MIGHT just find xubuntu/lubuntu run even better as lubuntu is optimized for older / lower specifications and xubuntu isn't far behind
[13:53] <shubho> RoBo_V type this ``sudo fdisk -l" and paste the output
[13:53] <iptable> streulma, this conversation is rather pointless. you are not cooperating
[13:53] <shubho> RoBo_V and then let me know what you exactly want to do
[13:54] <iptable> streulma, have you tried turning it off and on again when this happens? what happens when you do? does the screen start blicking immediately if you start it up? or does it go to ubuntu beforehand?
[13:54] <sky_man> hi
[13:54] <streulma> iptable: it was before running the OS
[13:54] <farbod> hi
[13:55] <farbod> how can i install a proxy on my ubuntu?
[13:55] <shubho> sandman what do you mean ?
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> farbod: squid is a great proxy
[13:55] <cfhowlett> !proxy | farbod
[13:55] <iptable> streulma, if your screen blinks even before the OS starts, it's not UBUNTU fault
[13:55] <iptable> streulma, your screen or graphics card is broken. that's it
[13:55]  * cfhowlett is shocked there is no proxy factoid
[13:55] <streulma> ok thanks...
[13:56] <farbod> i want some thing like Tor but it doesnt work in Iran any more:( :( :( :(
[13:56] <iptable> farbod, apt-get install squid. if you want some nice filtering, also apt-get install squidguard
[13:56] <cfhowlett> farbod, look into vpn
[13:56] <RoBo_V> shubho: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8233642/  Please mind 2HDD's are there above sda is for windows  sdb is general purpose from where I extracted 90GB (and installing Ubuntu via USB boot)
[13:57] <inte> cfhowlett: i have no plans installing it anyways, but thanks
[13:57] <looper> I am having problems trying to install packages to 10.4, when I run the perl script it will just keep entering a null charachter and pressing enter instead of letting me select a yes or no option, this happens with all installs
[13:57] <iptable> farbod, then you don't want a proxy on your own system then. try VPN with some host outside your network
[13:57] <cfhowlett> looper, 10.4 desktop?  unsupported = end of life
[13:57] <iptable> RoBo_V, so why not use 1 partition for everything? 90GB is not a lot of space
[13:58] <looper> yes 10.4 desktop. Unfortunately it has important data on it
[13:58] <iptable> looper, upgrade to 12.04 or higher. 10.04 is out of support, old and no longer updated. server package updates happen for security updates only and no desktop updates anymore
[13:58] <RoBo_V> iptable: thimgs are there and it is old HDD
[13:58] <iptable> looper, we cannot help if you insist on using an unsupported OS
[13:58] <cfhowlett> looper, I'd suggest you backup the data and install a supported OS.  as it stands, your system gets no security updates and is vulnerable.
[13:58] <iptable> RoBo_V, I mean why not use the whole 90GB for ubuntu's /, /home and a swap file (instead of swap partition)?
[13:59] <shubho> RoBo_V ubuntu is up and running ? why do you want /swap ?
[13:59] <iptable> RoBo_V, you can have eveything on 1 partition and with only 90GB to play with for ubuntu, I would say put all of ubuntu on the whole 90GB, do not cut it further
[13:59] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | looper, upgrade path 10.04 >> 12.04 (supported) >> 14.04.1  Long Term Support
[13:59] <shubho> RoBo_V ubuntu must be using swap already
[14:00] <iptable> shubho, it's not running and no, ubuntu doesn't have to be using swap
[14:00] <looper> I understand, It is running an important application and cannot be taken down, i need to install packages to rescue the app
[14:00] <iptable> shubho, ubuntu runs happily witohut any swap
[14:00] <RoBo_V> shubho: im booting live from USB as for now
[14:00] <shubho> RoBo_V how do you know ? type ls -l /
[14:00] <shubho> RoBo_V you must find swap there ?
[14:00] <iptable> RoBo_V, if you only have 90GB for ubuntu, install it on the 90GB, just /. it will then put /home as a directory in /, on that 90GB. and add swap once you boot as a swap file.
[14:00] <RoBo_V> iptable: hmm kinda seem ok, but thinking to have /home seperate so that if i repalce Linux further it doesnt get affacted
[14:00] <iptable> shubho, you don't need swap to work!
[14:01] <iptable> shubho, and swap is not in /swap. it's a partition
[14:01] <ThePendulum> Is there a way to get rid of the failed to fetch repositories?
[14:01] <farbod> iptableiptable:squid has a ip? (tor ip is: <IP_ADDRESS>:9050)
[14:01] <farbod> iptable:squid has a ip? (tor ip is: <IP_ADDRESS>:9050)
[14:01] <iptable> RoBo_V, then start gparted and repartition the 90GB of sspace to youor liking
[14:01] <iptable> farbod, yes. it's a proxy
[14:01] <k1l> ThePendulum: please pastebin a "sudo apt-get update"
[14:01] <RoBo_V> shubho: noo swap, its live booted from USB
[14:01] <cfhowlett> ThePendulum, disable those repos in your software source list would do it
[14:01] <ThePendulum> If I could find them
[14:01] <iptable> farbod, you need to connect to it. not IP, it listens to a port on your localhost IP. your machine has <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:02] <shubho> RoBo_V ok ... delete the 90 GB partition
[14:02] <ThePendulum> k1l: http://pastie.org/private/syuvkzcg04dm9xk5b384uq
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> farbod: if you can find an SSH server outside your country (paid for ones exist), you can make an SSH tunnel to that then shove everything down the tunnel
[14:02] <RoBo_V> iptable: ok
[14:02] <asher1> help please
[14:02] <farbod> iptable: thank you very much if i have question i ask it again :)
[14:02] <iptable> RoBo_V, gparted is a nice partitioning GUI tool. start it, select the 90GB partition, remove it, create the partitions you need in it's place. / needs to be primary and /home and swap can be on extended/local
[14:02] <RoBo_V> shubho: yes it is delted already
[14:02] <asher1> please how i fix this
[14:02] <asher1> libpq++.h... configure: error: Unable to find libpq++.h
[14:02] <shubho> RoBo_V and make partitions
[14:03] <iptable> asher1, apt-get install build-essential
[14:03] <k1l> ThePendulum: why do you have raring repos active?
[14:03] <asher1> i do this
[14:03] <iptable> asher1, then read your software manual (the one you are compiling) and install any related -dev packages
[14:03] <iptable> asher1, read the big README or INSTALL files
[14:03] <publico> hey ho lats go
[14:04] <k1l> ThePendulum: please pastebin "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[14:04] <RoBo_V> iptable, shubho ok started gparted looking...
[14:04] <asher1> what is mean?
[14:04] <cfhowlett> publico, ask  your ubuntu questions
[14:04] <asher1> listen i do everything for this and i get error
[14:04] <iptable> asher1, what is mean?
[14:04] <publico> download ubuntu builder?
[14:04] <ThePendulum> k1l: i.e. Super boot manager uses raring repos but that doesn't seem to be it
[14:04] <iptable> asher1, it states in the readme what the dependencies are, does it not?
[14:04] <RoBo_V> 25GB this /  is enough ?
[14:04] <asher1> i used with ubuntu 10.04
[14:05] <iptable> RoBo_V, yes. it will be enough
[14:05] <asher1> no listen when i configure something then i get error
[14:05] <ThePendulum> RoBo_V: It's conservative but definitely enough
[14:05] <k1l> RoBo_V: when /home is seperate: yes
[14:05] <iptable> RoBo_V, my one is 28GB but it's bloated like hell
[14:05] <RoBo_V> iptable: lol 28gb is fulll ?
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> RoBo_V: `my / is 8Gb with 4Gb used :)
[14:05] <iptable> RoBo_V, and then rest on /home. if you want swap as partition, make it RAM*1.5 if you need hibernate or just about half ram if you don't.
[14:05] <ThePendulum> k1l: http://pastie.org/9526953
[14:06] <RoBo_V> iptable: ok great :)
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> RoBo_V: /var, tmp, /home and swap are on a platter based drive
[14:06] <iptable> RoBo_V, yes. my / is 28GB full, but I install stuff and never uninstall
[14:06] <asher1> iptable you know i can fix this please?
[14:06] <iptable> asher1, you have completely ignored what I said
[14:06] <iptable> asher1, configure and make is not enough. read their README and compilation docs!"
[14:06] <asher1> where?
[14:07] <k1l> ThePendulum: ok, the sources.list is clean. now please show a "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d"
[14:07] <iptable> asher1, the thing you are trying to compile has some dependencies to install before you can compile. and you need to instal lthose and their "-dev" packages too.
[14:07] <iptable> asher1, try in the source code directory. it's usually there. if not, then on the website you downloaded it from
[14:07] <iptable> asher1, INSTALL or README.
[14:07] <RoBo_V> damn that what it is "after created / 25 GB" it says can't create more than 4 primary
[14:08] <ThePendulum> k1l: http://pastie.org/9526955
[14:08] <ThePendulum> Hmmm, ia32
[14:08] <iptable> RoBo_V, hah, you would need to remove one of the partitions already there
[14:08] <asher1> iptable i try to understand what you say but i do everything i say to you i install dev and what you want and i no see nothing
[14:08] <k1l> ThePendulum: yes, they seem to be the issue
[14:08] <iptable> RoBo_V, you can have up to 4 primary. one of them would then be an "extended", allowing you to have another 4 logical partitions
[14:08] <solexious> Hello. Since upgrading to the latest Ubuntu quassel's icon isn't showing near the clock but it's minimised to it so I can't get to the icon to open it. Any ideas how to get it back?
[14:08] <iptable> RoBo_V, so, want to stick to whole / on one partition? or willing ot remove partitions now?
[14:09] <Pinkamena_D> does anyone know of a way to take a screenshot of a context (right click) menu
[14:09] <k1l> ThePendulum: deactivate them and see if the apt-get update runs fine
[14:09] <Pinkamena_D> the screenshot key stops working when I am 'right clicked' so to speak.
[14:09] <iptable> RoBo_V, there is 1 way. you could partition that 90GB as LVM partition and split it in LVM. that will let you boot from it, have separate / /home and swap
[14:09] <iptable> RoBo_V, ^ do that
[14:09] <asher1> someone
[14:09] <asher1> can help to me please
[14:09] <RoBo_V> iptable: logical ?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> Pinkamena_D: i use imagemagick, install it and run:    sleep 5; import ~/shot.png       then you have 5 seconds to get the screen ready
[14:10] <ThePendulum> k1l: Do I (re)move them from apt/sources.list.d, or?
[14:10] <eeee> Pinkamena_D: shutter
[14:10] <iptable> asher1, I install dev and what you want and no see nothing. you are NOT cooperating. DID YOU READ THE COMPILE MANUAL?
[14:10] <asher1> what read please explain to me for understand
[14:10] <minimec> Pinkamena_D: I would launch the screenshot application first, choose 'Grab the current window' and use a delay of 3-5 seconds.
[14:10] <asher1> you tell to me install dev right
[14:10] <asher1> i install everything from dev
[14:11] <iptable> RoBo_V, you cannot have more than 4 paritions, due to 4 partition slots. the 4th partition for example can be an "extended" type, which basically ports somewhere where you can continue with more partitions. but you cannot boot from those. you can boot only from primary, raid or lvm ones
[14:11] <cfhowlett> iptable, this might be less confusing in a PM
[14:11] <iptable> RoBo_V, just install a VM
[14:11] <k1l> ThePendulum: i would suggest ppa-purge
[14:11] <iptable> RoBo_V, LVM that is
[14:11] <asher1> i get error from Terminal
[14:11] <iptable> RoBo_V, basically, the 90GB, create LVM partition and parititon the LVM
[14:11] <asher1> libpq++.h... configure: error: Unable to find libpq++.h
[14:11] <iptable> asher1, "everything from dev"?
[14:12] <asher1> yes
[14:12] <asher1> wnat see
[14:12] <asher1> the command
[14:12] <iptable> asher1, 7000 packages?
[14:12] <asher1> i dont know
[14:12] <RoBo_V> iptable: damn its so complex
[14:12] <iptable> asher1, I meant the dev packages for the dependencies. DID you read the manual!
[14:12] <iptable> asher1, there is a perfecvt manual with source code. read it.
[14:12] <ThePendulum> k1l: How do I target the ia32 one with that?
[14:14] <RoBo_V> iptable: how I install VM, im on live ubuntu ?
[14:14] <iptable> RoBo_V, no, lvm is just an extension (partition type) which let's you create more and flexible partitions. partition the 90GB as LVM type and in LVM options make the partitions you want.
[14:14] <iptable> RoBo_V, you want to install a VM?
[14:14] <iptable> RoBo_V, so you want to dual-boot with windows or have ubuntu as a VM?
[14:14] <RoBo_V> iptable: yes as you saying
[14:14] <iptable> RoBo_V, so you want to dual-boot with windows or have ubuntu as a VM?
[14:14] <k1l> !ppapurge | ThePendulum
[14:14] <RoBo_V> iptable: oh you mean just using ubuntu in windows under virtual box
[14:15] <RoBo_V> is that what you saying ?
[14:15] <iptable> RoBo_V, what are you trying to achieve? I'm asking?
[14:15] <iptable> is this a failed-comms day?
[14:15] <RoBo_V> iptable: im trying to install Ubuntu dual boot system with windows 8.1
[14:16] <iptable> RoBo_V, then install everything on one / partition being 90GB that you have if oyu are a beginner.
[14:16] <sky_man> folks, after upgrading from 12.0x to 14.xx with Linux 3.13.0-35-generic x86_64 my Linuxbox is not starting up properly. Saying / (root) not ready, and gives me three choices: wait, spring or manual
[14:16] <RoBo_V> iptable: i dont need VM i want to install it
[14:16] <iptable> RoBo_V, then install everything on one / partition being 90GB that you have if oyu are a beginner.
[14:16] <iptable> RoBo_V, or if more advanced, make the 90GB an LVM partition and play with LVM. that's your 2 choices.
[14:16] <iptable> RoBo_V, learn to crawl before walk and walk before run
[14:17] <RoBo_V> no LVM needed
[14:17] <sky_man> usually i choose "S" for spring. at the prompt i do $ remount -o rw / and afterwards a mount -a than i am back
[14:17] <sky_man> root is on LVM
[14:17] <Skinny_Malinky> Hey guys, I'm trying to make a bash script that runs live-reload but I keep getting "permission denied" Can you help me out?
[14:17] <Skinny_Malinky> The script is '#!/bin/bash
[14:18] <Skinny_Malinky> gnome-terminal -e cd /var/www/html/ -e bundle exec guard'
[14:18] <sky_man> pasted the grub.cfg
[14:18] <iptable> sky_man, fsck, check fstab
[14:18] <RoBo_V> iptable: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8233642/  so like in here means i have sdb1, sdb2 and sdb3 is primary all, thats why it not let me creating other one in 90GB right ?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Skinny_Malinky: why run it in a terminal? why not have it backgrounded?
[14:19] <Skinny_Malinky> like to make sure it's working
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> Skinny_Malinky: did you mark the file executable?
[14:19] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, 1. if you run gnome-terminal line on it's own, does it succeed?
[14:19] <Skinny_Malinky> i can run it in the background though
[14:19] <Skinny_Malinky> i did
[14:19] <Skinny_Malinky> keep getting  There was an error creating the child process for this terminal
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> Skinny_Malinky: does the command need to be ran as root?
[14:19] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, did you chmod 755 your script to make executable?
[14:19] <Skinny_Malinky> i didn't, i'll chmod it
[14:20] <Skinny_Malinky> chmod didn't work and even if i just open the terminal i get the same error
[14:20] <iptable> RoBo_V, no, it is letting you create 4th one, sdb4
[14:21] <ThePendulum> k1l: cheers :)
[14:21] <iptable> RoBo_V, it is not letting you do sdb5
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> Skinny_Malinky: what is the output of:  ls -la /path/to/script    please
[14:21] <RoBo_V> iptable: yes so means previous 3 are primary , right ?
[14:21] <iptable> RoBo_V, yes
[14:22] <iptable> RoBo_V, can't you just create all on / on that 90GB and actually learn ubuntu before you try to jump the gun?
[14:22] <Skinny_Malinky> -rwxr-xr-x  1 struan struan   45 Sep  4 15:07 Guard

[14:22] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, which one are you executing?
[14:22] <Skinny_Malinky> There are some other files but they're irrelevant
[14:22] <RoBo_V> iptable: yes it is installing just gaining upper hand on partions xD  i should have made it extended as per logic
[14:22] <Skinny_Malinky> Guard
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> Skinny_Malinky: I'd make a script to run the command, then tell gnome-terminal to run the script, bit cleaner
[14:22] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, what's Guard.sh?
[14:22] <Skinny_Malinky> same thing
[14:23] <iptable> RoBo_V, no OS will boot from extended. OS only boot from primary partitions.
[14:23] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, make both chmod 755?
[14:23] <RoBo_V> iptable: well i dont have OS in that partions
[14:23] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, also ,edit the script and before the gnome-terminal, insert a line which says: echo "Hello"
[14:24] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, and afgter the gnome-terminal line, insert another that says: echo "There"
[14:24] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, run it and see if you get "Hello" and "There" printed on screen during/before/after error at all.
[14:24] <iptable> RoBo_V, correct.
[14:25] <Skinny_Malinky> can't find any messages
[14:25] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, just error?
[14:26] <Skinny_Malinky> i actually took out any commands so i could see if the echo works
[14:26] <Skinny_Malinky> but i can't find it
[14:26] <iptable> if you take out the gnome-terminal command, you still get the error?
[14:26] <Skinny_Malinky> no error
[14:27] <Skinny_Malinky> just can't find hello or there
[14:27] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, how are yoiu executing: Guard or ./Guard?
[14:29] <Skinny_Malinky> Okay, I put this in the folder I want it to execute '#!/bin/bash
[14:29] <Skinny_Malinky> gnome-terminal -e bundle exec guard' and I keep getting "could not find gemfile"
[14:29] <iptable> Skinny_Malinky, now you confusing me
[14:30] <Skinny_Malinky> never mind
[14:30] <Skinny_Malinky> i think i have it
[14:31] <asher1> iptable
[14:31] <asher1> what you say to me search only dev?
[14:32] <iptable> asher1, no, I say you read instruction manual for your source code you compiling
[14:32] <asher1> ok but what i need for this?
[14:32] <asher1> this only my question
[14:33] <iptable> asher1, the instruction manual
[14:33] <iptable> asher1, the part that says "you need this installed before you start:"
[14:33] <asher1> :S
[14:33] <asher1> what is this
[14:33] <asher1> what?
[14:34]  * cfhowlett is beginning to suspect ...
[14:36] <iptable> hah, me too
[14:37] <iptable> asher1, 1. tell us what you are trying to compile, 2. why you are doing this, 3. what does the readme file say?
[14:37] <iptable> asher1, and how is this connected to ubuntu issues?

[14:38] <helmut_> hi
[14:41] <RoBo_V> why ubuntu terminal font is so b'ful ?
[14:41] <iptable> RoBo_V, design?
[14:42] <iptable> RoBo_V, you mean beautiful, bashful or bullshit-full?
[14:42] <RoBo_V> iptable: font specifically IDK
[14:42] <RoBo_V> iptable: beautiful xD
[14:42] <iptable> RoBo_V, 1. it's a nicely designed font, 2. it uses GPU to render and smooth it out
[14:43] <RoBo_V> iptable: it is monspace 12, right ?
[14:43] <Gassho> show me
[14:43] <minimec> RoBo_V: Probably Ubuntu Monospace --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28typeface%29
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> RoBo_V: isnt it just the 'system' font...
[14:45] <Gassho> how do i disable all the aspects of ubuntu that slow down my computer such as whatever?
[14:45] <TJ-> Gassho: Don't run any programs :)
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> Gassho: install openbox, log off, log in to openbox session, done :)
[14:45] <RoBo_V> ActionParsnip: then ?
[14:46] <RoBo_V> iptable: nice...
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> RoBo_V: then what...what do you mean?
[14:46] <minimec> Gassho: 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop', and use lxde as window manager. Xubuntu-desktop would do too I guess.
[14:46] <iptable> Gassho, turn off the GUI
[14:46] <iptable> Gassho, and ubuntu.
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> minimec: why not just 'lxde'?
[14:47] <RoBo_V> ActionParsnip: system font, IDK
[14:47] <Gassho> how do i boot to cli
[14:47] <iptable> RoBo_V, it's just a nice font smoothed like all others by 3D rendering. that's that
[14:47] <Gassho> instead of gui
[14:47] <iptable> Gassho, what do you want to achieve?
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> RoBo_V: the font in terminal is just 'system'
[14:47] <Gassho> because i want to type in startx :p
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Gassho: add the boot option "text"
[14:47] <cfhowlett> Gassho, you can test alternate desktop environments first. then, if you find one you like, install the full desktop meta-package.  sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4
[14:48] <RoBo_V> iptable: I see
[14:48] <RoBo_V> ActionParsnip: ok
[14:48] <minimec> ActionParsnip: Good question. Just to be sure to get a working desktop with all default software installed. So to avoid possible 'problems'... I would just 'sudo apt-get install e17' by the way.
[14:49] <iptable> Gassho, CTRL+ALT+F1, login to console and /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> minimec: that too, but lubuntu-desktop installs lots of packages with duplicated functionality which is already in place
[14:50] <Gassho> iPcjamesy4 that sequence produces no change
[14:50] <Gassho> iptable rather
[14:50] <iptable> Gassho, apt-get isntall lxde, xfce, cinnamon, mate and a few others. logout and on login choose one of them and login to that. others do NOT run and slow system down when not logged into them.
[14:50] <minimec> ActionParsnip: True but often this alternative software is also consuming less system resources.
[14:50] <iptable> Gassho, CTRL+ALT+F1 does produce change
[14:50] <iptable> Gassho, takes you straight into terminal
[14:51] <Gassho> you mean at login
[14:51] <Gassho> but it doesnt now
[14:51] <Gassho> ._.
[14:51] <iptable> Gassho, no, even when logged in.
[14:51] <cfhowlett> minimec, but if decides he doesn't like a particular flavor, it's more of a PITA to purge all the packages vs. purging only the DE
[14:51] <iptable> Gassho, CTRL+ALT+F1-F6 will give you just terminals, no DE (GUI)
[14:51] <Gassho> i can switch to the F2 terminal
[14:51] <eeee> Gassho: start a terminal and type sudo service lightdm stop
[14:51] <iptable> Gassho, what do you want to actually achieve?
[14:52] <eeee> iptable: he wants to see if startx will start X?
[14:53] <eeee> i guess it worked
[14:53] <eeee> :)
[14:53] <iptable> hah!
[14:53] <iptable> silly user. why can't people tell us what they actually want to achieve, where we could them give appropriate suggestions...
[14:53] <guzzi_jones> haha... funny
[14:54] <Valarkin_> cause most of the time we don't know ourselves?
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> iptable: been saying it for years dude
[14:54] <eeee> he wants to mess around
[14:54] <Valarkin_> Get in touch with your InnerNoob :P
[14:55] <iptable> Valarkin_, you should know by now some of us do know quite well ;)
[14:55] <iptable> eeee, fair enough
[14:56] <Valarkin_> Ah, but you are power users, the rest of us, well, even if we think we know we may not actually :D
[14:56] <jayar> how can i symlink or map a network drive so that i can see it in filezilla?
[14:56] <karab44> !ahci
[14:56] <karab44> hello
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> jayar: see it on the client or the server?
[14:56] <karab44> could you tell me how SSD support looks in ubuntu?
[14:56] <karab44> !ssd
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> jayar: and filezilla client or filezilla server?
[14:57] <jayar> client.
[14:57] <iptable> jayar, mount
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> jayar: so you want to be able to down and upload to and from a server from a symlink?
[14:57] <iptable> jayar, what protocol? cifs/smb, ftp?
[14:57] <jayar> like when i'm connected to my ftp, i can only see local files in the left side, but in the file browser, i can see all my n etwork drives
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> jayar: because if the symlink is on the client PC then it will work
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> jayar: the link is seen as a folder or file just like a 'normal' one, because of how the Linux file system functions
[14:58] <jayar> yea
[14:58] <karab44> anybody observed significantly improved SSD performance after enabling AHCI BIOS param?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> jayar: so just make your link and go
[14:59] <jayar> ok thnx
[15:04] <jayar> clear
[15:04] <jayar> oops
[15:04] <jayar> tryin to /clear screen from that r420r spam
[15:05] <RoBo_V> retrieving and retrieving file.....
[15:06] <RoBo_V> iptable: ^
[15:07] <lguy2000> using 14.04 lts i cannot change the permissions for a folder that is supposed to be a samba share.  any suggestions?
[15:08] <guardianpwr08> 0/ i am trying to install free 3rd party SSL cert from startssl.com..... im looking at these directions here https://www.startssl.com/?app=21 ... i have a2enmod ssl already installed.... but im a bit lost at what to do now
[15:08] <iptable> lguy2000, the share doesn't allow that?
[15:08] <iptable> guardianpwr08, put the cert somewhere and a2ensite default-ssl and edit it to point at your cert
[15:09] <guardianpwr08> where should i place the cert?  /etc/apache2/ssl/ ?
[15:10] <lguy2000> jptable, i change the permissions for enclosed files/folders for "others" but the changes do not stick.
[15:11] <iptable> guardianpwr08, for example, though you can put wherever
[15:11] <iptable> guardianpwr08, enable and edit the default-ssl site and put the cert name and location there
[15:11] <lguy2000> the shared folder is accessible from the windows PCs on the LAN, but each folder/file created by one windows user cannot be changed by another windows user
[15:12] <iptable> lguy2000, that's by design. if the share is created on ubuntu, you should enable "default permissions" option
[15:12] <lguy2000> jptable, how do i do that?
[15:13] <iptable> lguy2000, you need to tell me what you did, how you created share, what the config is, etc?
[15:13] <RoBo_V> why ubuntu downloading lot of packages from internet, I did not enabled it during installtion process.
[15:14] <cfhowlett> RoBo_V, no download without permission.  you authorized it.
[15:14] <guardianpwr08> the directions list SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt and SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key .... i dont have those files....?
[15:14] <lguy2000> jptable, sure.  I created a folder named Test, then set it as a share in the Samba GUI and gave read/write access to it in Samba to 2 samba users.  these 2 Samba users can access the fodler from their respective windows PCs on the LAN but cannot change each other's files/folders.
[15:15] <iptable> guardianpwr08, put your certificates there
[15:15] <RoBo_V> cfhowlett: no way, i didnt clicked updates and third party
[15:15] <iptable> lguy2000, that would be by design. eah user has their own files
[15:16] <nero_> who's here>
[15:16] <guardianpwr08> iptable: all i have from them is a verification code... i put the .pem into /usr/local/apache/conf/
[15:16] <nero_> I need help with ubuntu installation.
[15:16] <iptable> lguy2000, you would need to install samba server (not GUI_ and configure from there otherwise
[15:16] <hichamat>  using Ubuntu 14 > I have this error with a website: Cross-Origin Request Blocked ... So where I can add  Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" the website worked fine in another server (windows WAMP)
[15:16] <lguy2000> I've done this before (a couple of years ago) where the share is used as a file server on the LAN.
[15:16] <iptable> guardianpwr08, they are supposed to five you signed cert and their CA cert.
[15:16] <karab44> hello again
[15:16] <iptable> guardianpwr08, contact them
[15:16] <nero_> I burned the image file to the USB sticks. Checked the md5sum. It was intact.
[15:16] <karab44> I set bios AHCI to enabled and got this: read error
[15:17] <iptable> nero_, you cannot burn images into USB sticks. it's not a feature.
[15:17] <karab44> Then if I change devices booting order to start with CD-ROM or anything not related to HDD it runs after ... well 15 seconds maybe
[15:17] <iptable> nero_, so once again, HOW did you put the ISO onto USB?
[15:17] <lguy2000> how do i install samba server?
[15:18] <karab44> I installed Ubuntu before the change to AHCI obviously
[15:18] <iptable> lguy2000, apt-cache search samba and then install it. although, samba server configuration will be outside the scope of support here
[15:18] <nero_> I used the software from pendrivelinux.com
[15:18] <nero_> I also tried the Unetbootin!
[15:18] <sky_man> thx, bye
[15:18] <iptable> nero_, so on windows?
[15:18] <lguy2000> I thought the SAMBA GUI tool was just a front end that did what the server did.
[15:18] <nero_> iptable Yes. On windows.
[15:18] <uRock> lguy2000, right click a folder and click to share it in permissions, then the system will install samba for you.
[15:19] <iptable> nero_, ok. unetbootin works on windows. so what's the problem?
[15:19] <nero_> but I want to wipe oua the windows on the desktop and perform a fresh install of Ubuntu/Lubuntu.
[15:19] <iptable> nero_, in that case, boot from that uSB stick, select "install" on the ubuntu desktop and choose "wipe everything" when asked
[15:19] <jazzed> I'm new, so pls forgive.  I have a remote server I need to backup a directory incrementally. Is rsync a good solution? How do I restore to a previous day. ty
[15:19] <uRock> nero_, use windows to make the bootable drive, then wipe out Windows
[15:19] <iptable> jazzed, with rsync you need to code your own incremental backups solution
[15:19] <iptable> jazzed, rsync is a sync software
[15:20] <iptable> jazzed, read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem
[15:20] <jazzed> ty so much
[15:20] <Dynamit_> 7win 14
[15:20] <Dynamit_> oj
[15:20] <lguy2000> jptable, how do I get samba server configuration help?
[15:20] <cepa> hey guys, is there a way to download all the files from a directory such as this; http://www.lns-archive.org/1968-packets/ via termminal?
[15:20] <nero_> I created the bootable USB stick. I set the boot priority to USB drive, I now plug it to my desktop. I restart the system to see a blank screen with an underscore blinking... and after an 8 second delay it boots to windows!
[15:21] <nero_> iptable I created the bootable USB stick. I set the boot priority to USB drive, I now plug it to my desktop. I restart the system to see a blank screen with an underscore blinking... and after an 8 second delay it boots to windows!
[15:21] <iptable> lguy2000, well, for a start I suggest reading some manuals or start guides. A google for "samba server configure howto" is a good start
[15:21] <iptable> lguy2000, having said that the conf file has (commented out) lots of examples to configure it form just that
[15:21] <lguy2000> iptable, jptable:  I mean help from a person
[15:21] <dbugger> Hey guys. Can someone please tell me how could I uncomment the following string ( // $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = TRUE; ) from the terminal without opening an editor?
[15:22] <iptable> nero_, put the USB stick in when PC is OFF. then boot it
[15:22] <iptable> lguy2000, ##linux
[15:22] <iptable> lguy2000, but first try do some reading
[15:22] <lguy2000> iptable, will do.  what is ##linux?
[15:22] <nero_> iptable ok. Will try that and come back !
[15:22] <iptable> dbugger, sed 's/\/\/ //g'
[15:23] <iptable> dbugger, that will replace "// " with nothing, effectively removing all "// "
[15:23] <iptable> lguy2000, a channel on IRC
[15:23] <iptable> lguy2000, like ubuntu you are now on
[15:23] <lguy2000> iptable, kk thanks
[15:24]  * RoBo_V gives iptable award for the "Helper of the day", Applause !
[15:24] <iptable> why thank you.
[15:24] <dbugger> iptable: that would uncomment everything on the file...
[15:24]  * iptable considers a break now
[15:24] <iptable> dbugger, yes
[15:24] <nero_> iptable btw, Unetbootin or pendrive linux?
[15:24] <dbugger> iptable: also, it is nice to see you again :)
[15:24] <iptable> nero_, unetbootin
[15:24] <nero_> iptable Which one do you recommend?
[15:24] <cfhowlett> !cookie | iptable,
[15:24] <dbugger> iptable: I wanted to uncomment just that one line, not the other ones on the file
[15:25] <nero_> iptable thanks! Will brb!
[15:25] <iptable> dbugger, learn to use sed, you can then you can do that ;)
[15:25] <jazzed> iptable is on fire.  Jeesh. ty for ur help.
[15:25] <RoBo_V> ubottu: cookie, are you serious. Dont make fun of it.
[15:25] <dbugger> iptable: is not sed what is breaking me... it is regular expressions :P
[15:26] <iptable> dbugger, you need to escape a lot of stuff with \
[15:26] <dbugger> iptable: that is the problem. Im not sure which stuff, and the syntax highlighter of the editor is not making things easier...
[15:26] <iptable> dbugger, sed 's/\/\/ \$cfg\[\'Servers\'\]\[\$i\]\[\'AllowNoPassword\'\] \= TRUE/$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = TRUE/g'
[15:26] <iptable> dbugger, that *might* work
[15:26] <Jacoby6000> Hey guys, anybody know why my computer hangs while it connects to a display?  I'm running a Dual-link DVI through an active adapter to convert to displayport.  It takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes for x-server to properly re-render everything and my computer cannot do anything during that time. It's not from high-cpu usage either. I guess it has to do with the bus on the motherboard or something...
[15:26] <Jacoby6000> but yeah what can I do to get around it?
[15:27] <dbugger> iptable: besides, I have to escape a lot of stuff for regex, but the single quotes, I have to escape them for the command line... do they use the same escape character?
[15:27] <grodius> Hello, im wondering if anyone can help me. I am getting these errors on boot, as well as slowdowns and freezes across the whole OS. Im on 14.04 which I updated from 13.10. I think something related to my kernel. I am getting this error http://i.imgur.com/eqrmB00.png
[15:27] <iptable> dbugger, single quotes don't need escaping in sed, so just escaping them in shell
[15:27] <iptable> dbugger, that should work I believe
[15:28] <iptable> dbugger, otherwise, \\\' works
[15:28] <dbugger> iptable: omg...
[15:28] <hichamat> please help with this error http://apaste.info/qog
[15:28] <iptable> dbugger, yes. \' escapes in shell and \\ creates \ in shell resulting in \' for sed
[15:28] <nero_> iptable there's a goddamn virus on my Desktop which is on WinXP. I guess it tinkered with the boot too. I will erase the hard drive data and do the installation.
[15:29] <iptable> hichamat, Access-Control-Allow-Origin doesn't get recognised at all. either obsolete or you need to enable/isntall some module for apache (a2enmod) to make it work
[15:30] <jgcampbell300> can someone suggest a room that i could ask questions about web site programs like osticket horde group ware software etc... just in general ... i am trying to find a combination of packages to run my it business better
[15:30] <iptable> hichamat, you need CORS and headers in apache2
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> jgcampbell300: #http perhaps
[15:31] <iptable> nero_, XP is out of support as well
[15:31] <jgcampbell300> ActionParsnip: good as anyplace to start .. thanks
[15:32] <iptable> right
[15:32]  * iptable heads for a break. tired now...
[15:32] <nero_> iptable Right. I'm through it. It has been a painful thing configuring, securing the former. Its all gui.
[15:35] <gurdulilfo> The battery of my Acer Aspire S7 drowns extremely fast. What should I do to fix this problem? It used to last around 4 hours with Windows 8, now, with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS it only lasts around an hour.
[15:35] <gurdulilfo> Any ideas?
[15:35] <dingus> can someone please help me, i think i hit some sort of hot windows or cntrl key, and now my launcher is hidden, and also anytime i hit most keyboard keys, a "search" field appears in bottom right corner?
[15:36] <dingus> actually both launcher and menu bar are hidden.
[15:36] <dingus> it was re-appearing (launcher) when i hit the "A" button, but now that is just bringing up the form field bottom right corner. ?
[15:40] <dingus> NM. looks like the autohide state setting in settings had corrupted somehow. it said autohide "off" but it was on. I turned it to "On" and it was still on. then turned it BACK to "off" and it reappeared. POS.
[15:41] <grodius> Hello, im wondering if anyone can help me. I am getting these errors on boot, as well as slowdowns and freezes across the whole OS. Im on 14.04 which I updated from 13.10. I think something related to my kernel. I am getting this error http://i.imgur.com/eqrmB00.png
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> gurdulilfo: do you have the latest BIOS and Ubuntu updates?
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> gurdulilfo: are there any bugs reported?
[15:43] <dingus> nm x2: my launcher bar keeps re-dissappearing anytime i enter BitWig Studio which is a full screen program. I have to go in to settings and flip the auto hide on then back off to get it to reappear each time?
[15:43] <cfhowlett> gurdulilfo, to get all ubuuntu upgrades:   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:43] <gurdulilfo> ActionParsnip: I think I have the latest Ubuntu updates
[15:43] <dingus> this just started happening after an update today, if that matters at all.
[15:43] <gurdulilfo> But I'll try it again
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> grodius: is the date set right on the system?
[15:43] <gurdulilfo> Is there anything solved recently?
[15:43] <cfhowlett> gurdulilfo, check for bios upgrades ?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> gurdulilfo: have a check on launchpad, or report a bug using:   ubuntu-bug acpi
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> gurdulilfo: http://www.linlap.com/acer_aspire_s7-191
[15:44] <dingus> The launcher bar is "hidden" but if i click where it should be it actually launches whatever application is in that spot where the launcher should be. It's like it is in "cloak" mode, not hidden. :(
[15:44] <tanghao> i'm using the xubuntu version 14.04, can i set the default encoding to GB18030
[15:44] <GZA-Genius> I am a semi advanced linux user (following this question many of you will say no your not, but thats y i am here) I am having an issue with my ssh server. On a fresh boot or from a reboot the ssh service runs and says it running but when i try and connect i get: ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 55555: Connection refused    If I stop then start service or just restart the service it works fine. It's driving me crazy I
[15:44] <GZA-Genius> have looked all over for the issue and I know it has to be something little and dumb that I am overlooking so decided was time for fresh eyes. I checked perms, startupscrits and I can not see an issue anywere
[15:44] <karab44> hello again
[15:44] <karab44> I fixed AHCI problem
[15:45] <gurdulilfo> cfhowlett: How do I check for BIOS updates?
[15:45] <grodius> ActionParsnip: yes
[15:45] <cfhowlett> gurdulilfo, go to the manufacturers site and look for updates.  usually highly visible
[15:45] <tanghao>  i'm using the xubuntu version 14.04, can i set the default encoding to GB18030 when i open a txt file
[15:45] <gurdulilfo> ActionParsnip: Yes, I saw that page, but apparently some of the tools menationed are not available for Ubuntu
[15:45] <karab44> All I had to do was to disable Quick Boot BIOS setting in my Gigabyte z68 mobo
[15:46] <karab44> read error dissapered and I run system on AHCI drivers
[15:46] <gurdulilfo> cfhowlett: Acer only provides Windows executables for BIOS. Is there a simple way to update the BIOS from Ubuntu?
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> gurdulilfo: are they in other distributions?
[15:46] <djapo> in tty1..n i can't see what i type when i have scroll lock on, any ideas why that is?
[15:46] <asher1> Hello again how i fix error?

[15:46] <cfhowlett> gurdulilfo, yes for dell.  unknown for acer but if you dual boot ...
[15:47] <asher1> someone tell me i need download something from dev
[15:47] <gurdulilfo> cfhowlett: I don't dual boot. It's only Ubuntu.
[15:47] <TJ-> GZA-Genius: The server has a static IP address? On the server can SSH client connect to the local SSH server via localhost:55555 ? Any firewall rules on server, or client,?
[15:47] <asher1> but what?
[15:47] <GZA-Genius> gurdulilfo: there should be like an ez flash utility in your bios, or seperate from bios triggered by hitting a Fx button.
[15:47] <gurdulilfo> ActionParsnip: I'm not sure, some Google search showed that they are actually Fedora utilities.
[15:48] <gurdulilfo> GZA-Genius: I'll try to check that.
[15:48] <GZA-Genius> TJ-:  static yes ans fire as firewall and stuff its all disabled because I am nowere near done setting it all up
[15:49] <grodius> Anyone know what this error is about: http://i.imgur.com/eqrmB00.png

[15:49] <lguy2000> How do I stop samba from running?
[15:50] <TJ-> GZA-Genius: Connection refused means the server isn't running, or a firewall is in the way. Check the Server's SSH log file, it's probably not starting initially
[15:51] <GZA-Genius> TJ-: it starts initially I think it is something to do with some kind of network/dns service
[15:52] <asher1> please help
[15:52] <asher1> ?

[15:53] <anudas> asher1,  its about install, reinstall, install and ......
[15:53] <TJ-> GZA-Genius: Usually it's in "/var/log/syslog" and for log-in attempts "/var/log/auth.log"
[15:54] <GZA-Genius>  lguy2000 smbd
[15:54] <anudas> GZA-Genius, generally in /usr/var/log /var/log etc. ....
[15:54] <lguy2000> GZA: smdb stop?
[15:54] <asher1> how i fix this
[15:54] <asher1> libpq++.h... configure: error: Unable to find libpq++.h
[15:55] <Valarkin_> asher1 - you have been told how many times - not sure what else you need?
[15:55] <cyphase> anyone know of a media player/library app that tracks all the music you play, without using last.fm (or any other third-party service)?
[15:55] <GZA-Genius> Yea I know where the normal logs are but shouldnt the ssh server have its own, thats the one i can not find
[15:55] <anudas> asher1,  try to apt-get upgrade
[15:55] <djapo> so is there any reason why i can't see what i type into the console when i have scroll lock on?
[15:55] <GZA-Genius> lguy2000 sudo service smdb stop
[15:56] <sennn> hi
[15:57] <lguy2000> GZA:  Thanks!!!  Now do I edit smb.conf?  I use gedit but then it appears i do not have permission to save the file changes?
[15:58] <GZA-Genius> lguy2000: u need to be root or sudo to edit smb.conf
[15:58] <GZA-Genius> lguy2000: gksudo gedit ......
[15:59] <lguy2000> GZA:  AWESOME!!!
[15:59] <GZA-Genius> TJ-:  found this in syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/8236905/        still trying to find were sshlog is its not were it is supposed to be for some reason
[16:00] <TJ-> GZA-Genius: Are there some other file-systems being mounted such as for /var/ that the ssh daemon requires to be ready?
[16:01] <GZA-Genius> currently runing a standard desktop install, running a nfs, samba, and ssh server
[16:03] <GZA-Genius> I believe another process is making it fail and once i track doewn the ssh log I can check theory but cant find lol
[16:03] <iptable> asher1, install postgresql-server-dev-something
[16:03] <iptable> asher1, and read the manual!
[16:03] <iptable> asher1, I've been telling you this for ages!
[16:04] <iptable> asher1, read the readme file or install file. you are trying to compile code. you didn't even tell me what you compiling and how! stop!
[16:04] <TJ-> GZA-Genius: have you checked "/var/log/auth.log" ? I wouldn't be surprised to see something like "error: Bind to port 55555 on <IP_ADDRESS> failed: Address already in use"
[16:05] <GZA-Genius> TJ-: good call
[16:05] <TJ-> GZA-Genius: You can always test it without starting the service with "sudo $(which sshd) -Ddp 55555"
[16:06] <GZA-Genius> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8237754/   Thanks bud I needed someone from the outside to point me in a new direction!!!
[16:07] <GZA-Genius> TJ-: tnx for your help, have a gr8 day
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> lguy2000: if you are using a clean install of Trusty then sudo can be used with gedit, gksudo isnt installed by default
[16:12] <MDTech-us_MAN> hello
[16:12] <MDTech-us_MAN> I just built a program from source with specific settings
[16:12] <Pici> congrats
[16:12] <MDTech-us_MAN> using ./configure, make
[16:13] <MDTech-us_MAN> how do I make a .deb file
[16:13] <Sylario> The guidelines link is broken
[16:13] <MDTech-us_MAN> so I can easily install on another machine
[16:13] <Pici> !checksinstall | MDTech-us_MAN
[16:13] <Pici> er
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> MDTech-us_MAN: look into checkinstall
[16:13] <Pici> !checkinstall
[16:14] <MDTech-us_MAN> thx
[16:14] <Pici> !guidelines | Sylario looks like our hosting provider is having an issue
[16:15] <Xinos> How to change host?
[16:15] <Sylario> well... url shortener
[16:15] <Sylario> Anyway, i see a list of encoding when doing local -a, i want to change the default order
[16:15] <Sylario> how do i do that
[16:16] <Xinos> How to change host in irc freenode qwebirc?
[16:16] <Pici> Xinos: you can only connect to freenode using freenode's qwebirc.
[16:16] <Xinos> Pici: I know it.
[16:17] <Pici> Xinos: if you have more questions about it, best to ask in #freenode

[16:29] <neps> how do i install drivers for ubuntu
[16:29] <neps> i want to install driver for wifi
[16:29] <neps> and ethernet
[16:32] <TJ-> neps: Generally, the Linux kernel comes with all device drivers. However, some manufacturers that don't provide the technical documentation for their hardware will publish their own Linux drivers, and for others the hardware's firmware is not re-distributable and the user needs to use some program to 'cut' the firmware from Windows driver packages.
[16:32] <aukun> where is /etc/inittab in ubuntu?
[16:33] <TJ-> neps: First, you need to identify the devices requiring the drivers. For PCI devices, use "lspci -nnk" and for USB, "lusb" to list the devices the Linux kernel has found and their unique IDs
[16:33] <grodius> Anyone know what this error is about: http://i.imgur.com/eqrmB00.png
[16:33] <neps> Great TJ-
[16:33] <TJ-> aukun: There isn't one - Upstart doesn't require it
[16:34] <aukun> ok
[16:34] <TJ-> grodius: Insufficient information there, but looks like the Linux kernel hit a major issue. Best to report the bug so it can be investigated
[16:35] <grodius> TJ-: i thought do you think i should update or reinstall the kernel
[16:35] <grodius> so*
[16:38] <TJ-> grodius: No, not without firm evidence of the cause, and a known fix in an update
[16:42] <jpedroza2k> Is there a specific room for ubuntu and Nvidia driver issues or should I just hit the nvidia room?
[16:42] <neps> if there is a program like apt-get for driver, that detects the hardware vendor and installs the driver that would be great
[16:42] <neps> TJ- ? what do you say
[16:43] <k1l> neps: depends on your hardware
[16:43] <neps> actually detects the hardware make and manufacturer and looks on the available source
[16:44] <neps> and download and install it
[16:44] <karab44> I am just wondering why Ubuntu has disabled Firewall by default?
[16:45] <AcidRain2012> hello. how can i mount a drive with a label somewhere?
[16:45] <AcidRain2012> do we still use fstab?
[16:46] <asher1> please
[16:46] <asher1> help
[16:46] <AcidRain2012> asher1: what are you going thru?
[16:46] <jpedroza2k> AcidRain2012: yes, you can still use fstab
[16:46] <asher1> i have problem with configure and i do everything
[16:46] <asher1> libpq++.h... configure: error: Unable to find libpq++.h
[16:47] <AcidRain2012> jpedroza2k: is there any new standards to use?
[16:47] <asher1> i try configure something and i get in configure error like this
[16:47] <AcidRain2012> asher1: you obviously need libpq++.h
[16:47] <AcidRain2012> ;p
[16:47] <asher1> ohh
[16:47] <asher1> comeone my friend
[16:47] <asher1> i very much try
[16:47] <asher1> to see how i can fix this
[16:47] <asher1> i install
[16:47] <asher1> all what people tell to me
[16:48] <AcidRain2012> try the synaptic package manager
[16:48] <asher1> what is this?
[16:48] <asher1> synaptic
[16:48] <asher1> ?
[16:49] <netlar> Good morning all.  What is a good tool to monitor of who is using my wifi?
[16:49] <AcidRain2012> go to your ubuntu menu. and type: synaptic package manager" and you will see it popup
[16:49] <asher1> ok
[16:49] <asher1> i do this
[16:49] <AcidRain2012> netlar: you see that in your routers config
[16:50] <asher1> but what i need install for fix this?
[16:50] <TJ-> asher1: Your question(s) really aren't for Ubuntu support, you should be asking in a programming support channel. We've asked you several times over the last few days what it is you're actually trying to do, but so far you're avoided telling us. It is likely your attempt to manually build the software is not necessary, and as you seem totally new at software development you're likely to continue with very basic mis-understandings.
[16:50] <AcidRain2012> asher1: synaptic will warn you if you are about to make a mistake. you should listen to it very careflly
[16:50] <netlar> AcidRain2012: ok, was hoping for some utility that just show me this one thing and not have to go into the config
[16:51] <asher1> i have this
[16:51] <asher1> synaptic
[16:51] <asher1> i run this
[16:51] <asher1> but this no much help to me
[16:52] <jpedroza2k> asher1: try this on the command line or in terminal sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
[16:52] <jpedroza2k> enter your password and it should install it for you.
[16:53] <jpedroza2k> Why do toy need that library? Are you compiling something from source?
[16:54] <sakamop> jpedroza2k: I presume because of <asher1> libpq++.h... configure: error: Unable to find libpq++.h
[16:54] <asher1> i install this
[16:54] <jpedroza2k> asher1: that should give you the library you were needing.
[16:54] <asher1> libpq-dev is already the newest version.
[16:54] <asher1> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[16:54] <asher1>   gcc-4.4-multilib libgmp3-dev libsqlite3-dev libcln6 libffi-dev libbsd-dev
[16:54] <asher1>   libgmpxx4ldbl lib64gcc1 gfortran-4.4 libc6-dev-amd64 libpqxx-2.6.9ldbl
[16:55] <asher1> do you have install this?
[16:55] <jpedroza2k> asher1: What are you attempting to build that needs the library?
[16:56] <asher1> i install something project from ircd
[16:56] <asher1> and when i try configure
[16:56] <asher1> this i get
[16:56] <asher1> error
[16:56] <netlar> There found one, iftop, looks pretty good
[16:56] <asher1> libpq++.h... configure: error: Unable to find libpq++.h
[16:57] <jpedroza2k> asher1: It looks like you have that file installed, but it is not seeing it...
[16:57] <AcidRain2012> quick question. when my system boots, will everything in fstab be executed?
[16:57] <dav1dp0101> Has anyone dealt with deleting old an old encrypted home directory? I stopped using home directoy encryption because it duplicated all my files and filled my hard drive and the drive went corrupt. I removed encryption, but the files are still there in hidden folders. I can't delete them.
[16:57] <k1l> AcidRain2012: everything in fstab will be mounted
[16:57] <jpedroza2k> AcidRain2012: It will be mounted if it is set up correctly.
[16:57] <TJ-> davidrussell: duplicated?
[16:57] <asher1> something worng in this
[16:58] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: duplicated?
[16:58] <dav1dp0101> Well, apparently, in my /mnt/*} folder
[16:58] <AcidRain2012> jpedroza2k: can you check my fstab for me to see if it is correct?
[16:58] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: Anything with option "noauto" won't be mounted
[16:58] <dav1dp0101> TJ-, Well, apparently, in my /mnt/*} folder
[16:58] <jpedroza2k> asher1: It looks like you don't have the header file it is looking for... I am not sure if it is looking for a library, or a header file from the project you are building.
[16:59] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: Sounds like simply a second mount of the /home/ file-system - ecryptfs stores encrypted user homes under "/home/.ecryptfs/$USER/"
[16:59] <dav1dp0101> TJ- really? How do I unmount that safely?
[16:59] <asher1> i used with ubuntu 10.04
[17:00] <TJ-> asher1: When building software using autoconf, the config.log will help resolve issues when the configure script cannot find libraries and development headers
[17:00] <dav1dp0101> TJ- actually, the folder taking up the space (the duplicate) is /mnt/*}/home/.ecryptfs/<user>/.Private
[17:01] <asher1> yes headers
[17:01] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: Can you show us "mount | pastebinit" ?
[17:01] <asher1> but how i can fix this TJ-
[17:01] <asher1> ?
[17:02] <TJ-> asher1: I've told you repeatedly, your questions should be in a programming channel, *not* in this channel. These are *not* Ubuntu support issues, they are learning-to-program issues.
[17:02] <dav1dp0101> ah, i got it by removing the folder I listed above. (rm -rf <folder>). Thanks TJ- !
[17:02] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: OK --- but does that solve the issue with a mount under /mnt/ ?
[17:03] <dav1dp0101> TJ- I have no idea.
[17:03] <AcidRain2012> where is the fstab error log?
[17:03] <dav1dp0101> What will happen if I "mount | pastebinit" ?
[17:03] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: show us the output of the command I showed you
[17:03] <AcidRain2012> for some reason its not binding certain mount points to where i want them
[17:03] <AcidRain2012> i get no errors when running sudo mount -a
[17:03] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: It'll put the results of the "mount" command into a pastebin where we can look at it
[17:03] <asher1> this no help to me
[17:03] <asher1> i need please to know how i can fix this please
[17:04] <asher1> i in here two days and very much i try to fix this
[17:04] <k1l> asher1: what program is that? what is the whole output? put the output all into a pastebin
[17:04] <Noiro> Can someone tell me where Xorg stores xorg.conf on Ubuntu Server? There's no /usr/ directory
[17:04] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: Maybe the mountpoint isn't available when the system tries to mount on it? upstart uses mountall which tries mounts in parallel
[17:04] <jpedroza2k> Noiro: /etc/X11
[17:04] <gery> hello guys..any idea how to speed up firefox youtube buffer?
[17:04] <jpedroza2k> I am in there myself.
[17:04] <Noiro> jpedroza2k, it's not in there
[17:05] <Noiro> At all
[17:05] <k1l> Noiro: server and x11 sounds more like a desktop
[17:05] <AcidRain2012> http://pastebin.com/UvP4rArM all mount points do indeed exist
[17:05] <Noiro> k1l, we needed a GUI for virtualbox
[17:05] <jpedroza2k> Noiro: Then it hasn't been created.
[17:05] <AcidRain2012> i know this because whenn they didnt exist. mount -a warned me
[17:05] <k1l> Noiro: there is no xorg.conf since its all handled by udev etc
[17:05] <dav1dp0101> TJ- : here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8242277/
[17:05] <Noiro> k1l, how do I force a resolution, then?
[17:05] <jpedroza2k> k1l: Unless there is an nVidia card, prime uses it, although poorly.
[17:06] <jpedroza2k> I am fighting with that right now.
[17:06] <k1l> Noiro: set it in the video drivers program. so it depends on the  used video card
[17:06] <jpedroza2k> Is there a room specifically for ubunty and nvidia issues?
[17:06] <Noiro> when we VNC into it at the office, I don't want a tiny 900x600. Just an Intel built-in
[17:06] <jpedroza2k> ubuntu*
[17:06] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: If at boot-time "/media/Server2/" isn't mounted when the bind-mounts are attempted, they will fail
[17:06] <MDTech-us_MAN> hey guys
[17:06] <k1l> Noiro: i think that is more like a vnc issue
[17:07] <MDTech-us_MAN> how would I compile a x86 package on a x64 machine?
[17:07] <dav1dp0101> TJ- , I don't see any mentions of duplicates of my home folder mounted, or of anything encrypted. Which is good, right?
[17:07] <MDTech-us_MAN> from source I mean
[17:07] <Glorfindel> I can't su- for some reason
[17:07] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: That looks OK - there are no mounts under "/mnt/" so anything there is files that have been copied in there
[17:07] <Noiro> k1l, if I boot the server on a monitor, it'll autoadjust the resolution to the monitor and hwen I vnc in, it'll use the monitor's resolution
[17:07] <AcidRain2012> TJ-: i havent rebooted yet though
[17:07] <Noiro> I just need to forcefully set the resolution
[17:07] <Jeeves_Moss> how do I get an autologon for my ubuntu box?  I have a little embedded device with no keyboard, so I'd like to have it auto login and launch a program in full screen
[17:07] <gery> hello guys...how to speedup firefox youtube buffers?..help please..
[17:08] <dav1dp0101> TJ- Great, problem solved! thx.
[17:08] <jpedroza2k> gery: That would e a question for Firefox, not Ubuntu
[17:08] <k1l> Noiro: you can build a own xorg.conf if needed
[17:08] <AcidRain2012> http://pastebin.com/M7ZHA0d5  TJ- no errors
[17:08] <jpedroza2k> k1l: Won't xrandr build one as well?
[17:08] <gery> but i use firefox in my machine..
[17:09] <jpedroza2k> gery: this room if specifically for issues with the operating system, not individual applicaations.
[17:09] <k1l> gery: i bet there is a plugin for that. but better ask the firefox specialists on that
[17:09] <gery> okay..sorry
[17:09] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: OK, so on the face if it all is good, but just be aware at boot-time that 'mountall' tries to mount all at the same time, so you might see warnings during boot that it is waiting for a file-system
[17:10] <asher1> ok this program for ircd and what i need do this configure there when i try configure i get error
[17:10] <Noiro> http://askubuntu.com/questions/74808/how-do-i-force-a-resolution-of-1024x768 < Is that ok?
[17:10] <Noiro> Using third one down
[17:10] <k1l> asher1: no one can help you without the infos i asked for
[17:10] <AcidRain2012> TJ-: ye i know what you mean. i had that issue with ubuntu 12. just never got around to fixing it
[17:11] <AcidRain2012> my main concern at the moment is gaining access to all these servers
[17:11] <L00K> Seus Bosta !
[17:11] <asher1> k1l
[17:11] <k1l> asher1: "my car is broken", "what car is it and where is it broken" , "i will not tell you"
[17:11] <AcidRain2012> TJ-: what im saying is. even though there is no errors. there is NOTHING where it says it is mounted at
[17:11] <asher1> what you want i show to you?
[17:11] <k1l> !br | L00K
[17:11] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: There is usually only an issue if a mount is networked, and needs to wait for networking to be fully ready
 asher1: what program is that? what is the whole output? put the output all into a pastebin
[17:12] <asher1> ok
[17:12] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: I don't understand what " there is NOTHING where it says it is mounted at" means - all that info is in "/etc/fstab"
[17:13] <AcidRain2012> ./media/Server/My_Documents/My_Videos  <--- contains 1000s of files. which is mounted on: /media/AcidShower/FTP/ftpuser/My_Documents/Videos  <--- contains 0 files. 0 folders
[17:13] <ikonia> why have you mounted a local file system in the same place AcidRain2012
[17:14] <AcidRain2012> its not being mounted in the same place
[17:14] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: One thing to be cautious of, is using absolute device names in fstab instead of the file-system UUIDs, since if the device's are discovered in a different order what was sdh this time may be sdg next time
[17:14] <AcidRain2012> ./media/Server/My_Documents/My_Videos on /media/AcidShower/FTP/ftpuser/My_Documents/Videos type none (rw,bind)
[17:14] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: permissions?
[17:14] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: it's already mounted on /media/Server/My_Documents/My_Videos so how/why are you then re-mounting it on  /media/AcidShower/FTP/ftpuser/My_Documents/Videos
[17:15] <AcidRain2012> ikonia: it does indeed SAY its mounted. but its not
[17:15] <AcidRain2012> im looking at it now
[17:15] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: that wasn't my question
[17:15] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: you've got a remount of a mounted disk ??? why
[17:15] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: ikonia Looked like a FTP server chroot configuration to me, to put those inside the chroot
[17:15] <AcidRain2012> ikonia: yes, TJ- is right
[17:16] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: why are you doing these solution ??
[17:16] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: why chroot ? why mount for a chroot an already mounted file system ??
[17:16] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: you seem to create problems
[17:16] <AcidRain2012> using the exact same configuration in ubuntu 12 worked fine with no issues
[17:16] <AcidRain2012> and i like it this way
[17:16] <asher1> http://pastebin.com/5nquc4YN
[17:16] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: it seems a terrible solution
[17:17] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: to a non-existant problem
[17:17] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: what is your end goal ?
[17:17] <AcidRain2012> ikonia: there are many reasons to mount a single drive in multiple mount points
[17:17] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: no, there isn't
[17:17] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: you create problems
[17:18] <asher1> k1l
[17:18] <asher1> http://pastebin.com/5nquc4YN this my paste see
[17:18] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: what's your end goal/requirement
[17:19] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: ikonia The same drive isn't being mounted in multiple locations, sub-directories are being bind-mounted inside the chroot
[17:19] <ikonia> TJ-: this makes no sense, there is nothing to suggest a bind mount (unless I'm missing information)
[17:19] <AcidRain2012> my end goal is to mainly, have a whole drive that maps out every other drive on the box. makes for easier visual configuration
[17:20] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: ikonia "(rw,bind)"
[17:20] <ikonia> TJ-: where ? I don't see that
[17:20] <TJ-> AcidRain2012: ikonia: http://pastebin.com/UvP4rArM
[17:20] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: every other drive ?
[17:20] <ikonia> TJ-: ah, I don't have that paste, thank you
[17:20] <AcidRain2012> i have like 15 drives
[17:20] <k1l> asher1: you are running that on a 10.04 machine?
[17:20] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: as in physical hard drives ?
[17:21] <AcidRain2012> ikonia: yes
[17:21] <asher1> yes
[17:21] <asher1> k1l
[17:21] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: ok, thats fine, so why bind mount things ?
[17:21] <ikonia> AcidRain2012: why not just access the file systems ?
[17:21] <AcidRain2012> because. man i dont want it that way
[17:21] <AcidRain2012> i want to open a single folder. and see everything inside of that 1 folder
[17:22] <AcidRain2012> not browse to 15 different drives trying to find what im looking for
[17:22] <ikonia> then mount them in the 1 place
[17:22] <Noiro> I edited xorg config to show properly but no dice.
[17:22] <ikonia> eg: /dev/sda1 /media/music /dev/sdb1 /media/video /dev/sdc1 /media/books so you just look in /media
[17:22] <ikonia> not mount them and then bind mount them into a chroot
[17:22] <blocky> anyone know how to get the wicd tray icon working in 14.04?
[17:22] <Noiro> How can I get VNC to mount a display bigger than 800x600?
[17:23] <jpedroza2k> Noiro: I think you can usually set that in the client preferences when setting up the connection
[17:24] <eer> Hi
[17:25] <eer> Is there a command with which I can find out whether my box has a gigabit ethernet interface or not?
[17:25] <Noiro> jpedroza2k, I do, but still comes up same size.
[17:25] <Gassho> how do i disable my touchpad?
[17:25] <Noiro> It's a ubuntu thing, not a client thing
[17:25] <Noiro> more specfically my x11 thing
[17:25] <jpedroza2k> Go into your xorg.conf in /etc/X11 and set a preferred display size?
[17:33] <AcidRain2012> TJ-: i have solved the issue
[17:33] <khamtan> .ldo
[17:33] <AcidRain2012> TJ-: what would you suggest i do to make all of these things mount properly?
[17:33] <khamtan> im first
[17:33] <kmeghar> Hi eer
[17:34] <khamtan> new
[17:34] <khamtan> how to in stall nvidia driver
[17:35] <WeystLande> hello
[17:35] <WeystLande> they aren't listening to me in #freenode
[17:36] <WeystLande> i'm getting chimpOut racist spam from Bremsstrahlung
[17:36] <ikonia> WeystLande: not interested in this channel
[17:36] <ikonia> WeystLande: ignore them - report it to #freenode
[17:36] <WeystLande> i did... i was quieted :/
[17:36] <jpedroza2k> Ok, I edit my xorg.conf file and restart lightdm service. After the service restarts, the changes I made to xorg.conf are wiped out and a default is put in its place! Is this some "feature"?
[17:39] <chrisss123456> hey guys, i wanna wipe a thinkpad of windows and install ubuntu, but i’d like to clone the disk in case of something messing up. is there an executable reliable program to do this?
[17:39] <chrisss123456> i know that clonezilla is great, but its bootable
[17:39] <asher1> k1l?
[17:39] <asher1> you there
[17:39] <daftykins> chrisss123456: it's also a package
[17:39] <karab44> updating software on linux is kind of nightmare
[17:39] <chrisss123456> daftykins really? couldnt find it :/ can you give a link?
[17:40] <karab44> installation is brilliant - idea of repository is something supercool. but updates... this is just wrong
[17:41] <chrisss123456> also, daftykins : i’d like to not wipe the harddrive that im backing up to. is that possible?
[17:45] <streulma> what is good to run Ubuntu? Asus or MSI
[17:48] <anonymous_> check
[17:50] <k1l> asher1: sorry, had to go afk. i am looking into it right now
[17:50] <Jacoby6000> Hey guys, anybody know why my computer hangs while it connects to a display?  I'm running a Dual-link DVI through an active adapter to convert to displayport.  It takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes for x-server to properly re-render everything and my computer cannot do anything during that time. It's not from high-cpu usage either. I guess it has to do with the bus on the motherboard or something...
[17:50] <Jacoby6000> but yeah what can I do to get around it?
[17:51] <k1l> asher1: are you sure that is the only issue? there are lots more errors
[17:52] <asher1> yes
[17:52] <asher1> i paste to you
[17:52] <asher1> everything
[17:52] <asher1> and there have the error
[17:52] <asher1> from config.log
[17:53] <RoBo_V> is server slow ? My updates are installing very slowly during setup :(
[17:53] <k1l> asher1: that program (chanfix?) should have a request list for a build. did you fullfill all that?
[17:54] <linuxyogi> Dnsmasq stores its cache on RAM ...so its lost on reboot ...Is there any DNS caching server which stores its cache on disk ?
[17:54] <asher1> i no build this i download this to my home ubuntu and only i do what in explain to do i write in Terminal configure
[17:55] <k1l> asher1: like: is postgresql installed and is it the right version?
[17:56] <asher1> i install postgresql from webmin
[17:57] <k1l> asher1: what? you still have 10.04 desktop? and with webmin?
[17:58] <asher1> yes
[17:58] <RoBo_V> asher1: which age u living in
[17:59] <asher1> my age?
[17:59] <asher1> 34
[17:59] <RoBo_V> nooo
[17:59] <RoBo_V> I mean upgrade ubuntu... ;)
[17:59] <asher1> ohh
[17:59] <k1l> asher1: well. webmin and 10.04 desktop are kicked out of support. i dont know if its worth the work to make that work instead of just going with a better ubuntu setup in the first place
[17:59] <LFS> ubuntu kylin insists on giving me Chinese menus which I don't understand! any suggestions?
[18:00] <asher1> what is mean k1l?
[18:00] <k1l> !webmin | asher1
[18:00] <k1l> !10.04 | asher1
[18:01] <abdel> please I want to clean my pc running ubuntu 14.04...which software can I use
[18:01] <abdel> it seems slow
[18:01] <k1l> asher1: right now i am not sure if your problem is webmin and 10.04 desktop. and not that program you want to build
[18:02] <asher1> ok
[18:02] <asher1> i understand now
[18:02] <asher1> thanks k1l
[18:03] <q_a_z_steve> I just booted my system into the Memtest86+ v4.20 stuff on an ubuntu server disk, any idea how long before I know which of these 1GB x 4 sticks are bad? I did this before and I could have sworn at least one pass was fine.
[18:04] <Valarkin_> any raid gurus about? I need to know how I can reallocate a 6 drive raid 1 array to a system drive and raid 5 or 6 on the remaining drives without reinstalling and without access to the install media - my providser (OVH) does image based installs and there is no option to set yup raid at install time other than the default raid1
[18:04] <abdel> please I want to clean my pc running ubuntu 14.04...which software can I use
[18:04] <ikonia> Valarkin_: these are virtual disks ?
[18:05] <Valarkin_> hi ikonia - physical disks but the install seems to be image based no prompts or dialogues
[18:05] <k1l> asher1: http://chanfix.info/download.php  that project is dead. dont use that. and dont use webmin.
[18:05] <ikonia> Valarkin_: can you show me the output of "uname -a" please
[18:05] <asher1> why?
[18:05] <asher1> no use with webmin?
[18:06] <k1l> asher1: see chanfix website: "*** Undernet's chanfix (aka C) is not currently active ***"  that project is gone
[18:06] <asher1> ok
[18:06] <asher1> and what about webmin?
[18:06] <k1l> asher1: and webmin got kicked out of debian and ubuntu because it makes a mess out of the config files.
[18:07] <Poppabear> anyone have any good priced colocation suggestions for a 4u on a 1Gb/s unmetered connection ?
[18:07] <Valarkin_> ikonia: Linux ns399515.ip-37-59-2.eu 3.10.23-xxxx-std-ipv6-64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 18 14:48:24 CET 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[18:07] <ikonia> Valarkin_: that's a virtual host
[18:07] <ikonia> Valarkin_: that's not phsycial
[18:08] <ikonia> Valarkin_: (or is very unlikley to be physical)
[18:08] <Valarkin_> oh. well poop. every time I think I have this figured out I get looped ;)
[18:08] <Valarkin_> ok, well given that state of affairs how woyuld I do it?
[18:08] <asher1> ok k1l thanks
[18:08] <ikonia> Valarkin_: I wouldn't
[18:08] <ikonia> Valarkin_: especially not with a custom kernel
[18:09] <haled> my laptop has a blinking thin white line on the top left part of the screen when using Ubuntu (but not win7). How can I fix this?
[18:09] <Valarkin_> why not? is it terribly problematic? Raid1 across 6 drives isnt doign me much good
[18:09] <ikonia> Valarkin_: raid1 across 6 drives is not real
[18:10] <panda81> Hi. I keep getting "Input/ouptpu error during read on /dev/sdb" when installing. Does this mean the install media is corrupt, or the destination partition is?
[18:10] <ikonia> Valarkin_: raid 1 across 6 drives is basically 1 drive with 5 mirrors or spare
[18:10] <Valarkin_> hm, http://pastebin.com/hGnK9Znp is how its reporting the drives
[18:11] <ikonia> Valarkin_: that's 1 disk with 5 mirrors
[18:12] <ikonia> and zero spares
[18:12] <wrongplace> with what do I open an .img file of a dvd?
[18:13] <Valarkin_> and there is no way to get it on raid5 or 6?
[18:13] <ikonia> Valarkin_: you'd need to re-create the array
[18:14] <Valarkin_> and that's what I am asking how to do :D
[18:14] <ikonia> no, you asked how to migrate the disks to a different machine
[18:14] <Valarkin_> Am i correct in thinking that this is just oart of the 'live' install process? choose part scheme, set it to raid and run with it?
[18:14] <LFS> this channel is a waste of time
[18:14] <ikonia> no
[18:14] <ikonia> Valarkin_: basically - you need to talk to your provider, it's a custom ubuntu build
[18:15] <ikonia> Valarkin_: standard advice could cause you data loss
[18:15] <Valarkin_> data loss is fine
[18:15] <ikonia> Valarkin_: talk to your provider
[18:15] <ikonia> their installer is an "unknown"
[18:15] <ikonia> and the hardware is virtual - there maybe limitations
[18:15] <ikonia> (or appears to be virtual)
[18:15] <Valarkin_>  I need to know how I can reallocate a 6 drive raid 1 array to a system drive and raid 5 or 6
[18:16] <Valarkin_> I never mentioned migration
[18:16] <Valarkin_> and the provider says "figure it out"
[18:16] <ikonia> Valarkin_: same advice is true
[18:16] <ikonia> Valarkin_: talk to your provider
[18:16] <Valarkin_> ^^^^
[18:16] <ikonia> Valarkin_: then get a provider who offers support
[18:16] <ikonia> Valarkin_: sounds like a bag of junk service
[18:16] <Node_> What's best tools to download?
[18:17] <wrongplace> how do I rename a .img to a .iso?
[18:17] <Node_> For a cool looking Desktop/
[18:17] <Valarkin_> so you are telling me you know how to do it but wont tell me?
[18:17] <ikonia> Valarkin_: bottom line, break the mirrors, create a raid 5/6 array form the missing free disks, migrate data across, configure config such as grub and fstab,
[18:17] <Valarkin_> you really have forgotten what it is to be new.
[18:17] <ikonia> Valarkin_: I'm telling you, you are on a custom build so it's unknown
[18:17] <ikonia> Valarkin_: not at all
[18:18] <ikonia> Valarkin_: normally you would create the raid array as part of the install, but as you can't do that due to a custom install, it would be a manual post intsall process, which is quite a lot of effort
[18:18] <ikonia> hence talk to your provider and ask them to do it at the image/pre-image level
[18:20] <Valarkin_> the provider says its doable but unsupported and changing provider isn't an option
[18:20] <Valarkin_> ah well.
[18:20] <ikonia> Valarkin_: you won't be able to use all the disks in the raid array
[18:21] <ikonia> Valarkin_: or you'll need some sort of "boot" media
[18:22] <Valarkin_> I was given to understand the usual pattern would be sys on 1 drive, raid 0 the rest in a raid5/6 as a single volume.
[18:22] <ikonia> Valarkin_: that would work fine
[18:22] <ikonia> thats a lot more straight forwrd as you're not changing your system disk
[18:22] <Valarkin_> so if it's already raid 1 for the first dive, where would I look for the process of raiding the other 4?
[18:22] <ikonia> Valarkin_: all the drives are raid 1
[18:23] <ikonia> Valarkin_: you'd need to stop/lose raid off all drives
[18:23] <ikonia> then create a new array of the non-root disk
[18:23] <Valarkin_> at present yes, but doesnt that mean that 1st drive has an allocated mirror drive?
[18:23] <ikonia> Valarkin_: it has 5 allocated mirrors
[18:23] <ikonia> Valarkin_: it's a very bad config
[18:25] <Valarkin_> well, it's what I have to work from - can't do anything about what's already past
[18:26] <lmat> I'm trying to cmake a qt project. How can I tell what qt package I should install?
[18:27] <lmat> Or is there some way to link up qt with the cmake system... or something?
[18:30] <Adam_ActiveState> where can I find code for this morning's update to irqbalancer?
[18:32] <Castbound> I have a huge CPU usage and lag caused by Compiz, I have updated from ubuntu 12.04LTS to 14.04 and performance has dropped badly, specially when I hit the dash it takes some time to load files/programs. http://paste.ubuntu.com/8252338/ (vdeo card information)
[18:33] <Valarkin_> ikonia: there is an option on the reinstall panel to use the distribution kernal - would that make things easier?
[18:34] <ikonia> Valarkin_: in my opinion it is better as it's "known" - but it won't make it easier, still the same ammount of effort
[18:35] <ikonia> Valarkin_: basically, break the 5 mirrors, create new raid 5/6 array out of them,
[18:35] <Valarkin_> but less chance of an unexpected interaction
[18:35] <ikonia> Valarkin_: that is it (if you don't want to touch the root disk)
[18:35] <dbugger> Hi guys. Can anyone please take a look at my issue, in case you might have an answer? I appreciate it a lot. http://askubuntu.com/questions/520174/pastebinit-gives-me-the-wrong-url-when-logged-in-a-vagrant-box
[18:35] <ikonia> Valarkin_: once thats done, remove the ramaining 1 disk raid 1 out of  raid confiugration
[18:35] <ikonia> Valarkin_: as there is no more mirrors for it, you need to remove it
[18:35] <ponA> hi, i am trying to create a partition using the "disks" utility on one of my drives. i get the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8252367/ Any hints on how to fix that?
[18:36] <Valarkin_> cheers ikonia
[18:36] <ponA> the disks utility displays the drive as empty
[18:36] <ikonia> Valarkin_: I advise you to mark the 5 mirrors as "failed" before removing them
[18:37] <ikonia> Valarkin_: so it thinks the disks have failed before you disable them
[18:43] <ponA> firefox crashed, but i am here again :)
[18:43] <ponA> any hints on my problem that i missed?
[18:44] <He4dShOt> hello
[18:44] <Delta706> does it make sense that a command in rc.local needs to have output directed somewhere?
[18:45] <He4dShOt> I have some problems with my nvidia card
[18:45] <haled> my laptop has a blinking thin white line on the top left part of the screen when using Ubuntu (but not win7). How can I fix this?
[18:46] <He4dShOt> it syas that it has faile to query nvidia devices
[18:46] <He4dShOt> and I think that's why there are problems with lightdm not starting properly
[18:47] <Beldar> ponA, people come and go here, best to restate the issue and what you have tried.
[18:47] <rolts> Hello
[18:48] <rolts> i got problem with saving an database.yml file which i made
[18:49] <rolts> and it wont let me save it cuz of premissions
[18:49] <rolts> http://tinypic.com/r/2w3qlwl/8
[18:49] <rolts> do i have any way's through it?
[18:52] <rolts> noone?
[18:53] <netlar> How do I do snapshots on Unbuntu
[18:54] <Delta706> netlar: of the screen?
[18:54] <netlar> Delta706: No sorry, I mean of the system
[18:55] <netlar> So if I need to , I can go back to a stable system, if things get messed up
[18:55] <Delta706> netlar: I found a page on askubuntu.com that might be relevant
[18:56] <netlar> Cool
[18:56] <Delta706> netlar: not tried it myself but here is the link http://askubuntu.com/questions/424225/setting-up-lvm-snapshot-as-a-backup-restore-point-in-ubuntu
[18:57] <rolts> anybody knows how to resolve the premission problem ?
[18:57] <BluesKaj> Hey folks, back after some months
[18:57] <netlar> Wow that is pretty involved Delta706
[18:58] <ponA> hey. so my issue is that i cant create a partition on an empty disk via the "disks" util, i get the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8252367/
[18:59] <guzzi_jones> ponA: Error: Expecting a file system type.
[18:59] <guzzi_jones> did you try to give it a file system type
[18:59] <Beldar> ponA, Install gparted, make sure there is a partition table if it is unallocated, take a screenshot for us if needed.
[19:00] <guzzi_jones> what is the output of : sudo fdisk -l
[19:04] <ponA> fdisk -l gives me this output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8252564/
[19:04] <TJ-> ponA: Probably the disk doesn't have an MSDOS disk label; is it GPT by any chance?
[19:06] <ponA> i dont know, the disk was in a raid5 software raid which i deleted. i got 4 empty disks. i could make partitions on 2 of them but the third one gave me that error
[19:07] <TJ-> ponA: If the disk doesn't have a disk-label yet you need to prefix the command with "mklabel msdos;" to create a new partition table
[19:09] <ponA> TJ-: Where do i enter that command?
[19:10] <Ben_R_> I’ve just performed a fresh 14.04 install, and went to install the nvidia-331 driver after installing updates. On reboot, lightdm never starts. Is nvidia-331 broken?
[19:11] <TJ-> ponA: "parted --align optimal --script "/dev/sdd" "mklabel msdos; mkpart primary ext2 1MiB<PHONE_NUMBER>59b"  " (I *think* parted needs the ";" command separator)
[19:12] <ponA> did not need the ";"
[19:13] <ponA> i get "Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance."
[19:13] <azbc> ok
[19:13] <ponA> how do i get proper alignment?
[19:16] <ponA> okay, seems like deleting and recreating the partition worked :)
[19:19] <cortexman> so i had a crazy idea. what if i plug my laptop into my comcast router AND connect to the public xfinity wifi connection. if i could somehow bond those two connections together i'd be using my comcast bandwidth and the leftover bandwidth of my neighbors
[19:19] <cortexman> is there a way to bond connections like that on linux?
[19:20] <kzoo> cortexman: you can load balance over them, not bond.
[19:21] <cortexman> what abt this http://askubuntu.com/a/222135
[19:25] <Hecter> Hello! what is the best to install for antivirus? I'll be accepting files from users via Upload page, I do not know if virus can be embeded in file types PDF, IMAGES, EXCEL, WORD, ETC. Thank you in advance! Ubuntu 12.04
[19:26] <SchrodingersScat> !av | Hecter
[19:29] <Ben_R_> Removing nvidia-331 and installing nouveau-firmware apears to have worked… but nouveau is not able to drive my external monitor, so that’s fun.
[19:29] <Hecter> noted. :) thank you all
[19:29] <WACOMalt> Hey folks. I'm having trouble starting apache2 all of a suddon, and I checked port 80. It seems I have something called "aolserver4-nsd
[19:29] <WACOMalt> " on that port
[19:30] <WACOMalt> I researched and it seems this is some sort of web server made by AOL...
[19:30] <WACOMalt> I'm wondering how this could have magically appeared on my system
[19:30] <WACOMalt> and how to shut it down
[19:33] <chrisss123456> hey guys, i’ve made a bootable usb with ubuntu, but my laptop is not booting from it
[19:33] <chrisss123456> what’s weird is that it did before, but now it doesnt.
[19:34] <TJ-> chrisss123456: Does the PC's firmware boot menu offer the USB device in the boot menu?
[19:34] <chrisss123456> yea, it does
[19:35] <chrisss123456> TJ-: it shows the hard disk and USB Generic flash drive
[19:35] <TJ-> chrisss123456: And when you select USB what happens?
[19:35] <chrisss123456> Screen goes black, then lit, then shows the bootable disk menu again
[19:36] <TJ-> chrisss123456: Are you able to test that USB device on another PC to prove it can boot?
[19:36] <chrisss123456> TJ-: sadly no. but i just booted from it before! i wanted to see something so i shut down and removed, then plugged it back and this happened
[19:36] <chrisss123456> so i re flashed the USB with ubuntu
[19:36] <chrisss123456> and still this problem
[19:36] <TJ-> chrisss123456: What you describe sounds very much like the firmware reads the disk looking for the boot strap code and can't find it
[19:37] <chrisss123456> TJ-: then what do you suggest? i flashed it again and its still making this problem…
[19:37] <chrisss123456> oh wait
[19:37] <chrisss123456> wow
[19:37] <chrisss123456> jesus
[19:37] <chrisss123456> i put it in another USB slot and it worked
[19:37] <TJ-> chrisss123456: I'd recommend testing the checksum of the ISO image you used to write the image, with the checksum of the USB
[19:38] <chrisss123456> why…
[19:38] <TJ-> chrisss123456: OK ... USB3 and USB2 ports?
[19:38] <chrisss123456> shouldnt be, but apparently so? not sure
[19:38] <chrisss123456> lemme check
[19:38] <amira> hello
[19:39] <TJ-> chrisss123456: If the PC doesn't power-off completely, some USB chipsets maintain power and configuration to USB ports and 'bind' the port to one of the USB controllers rather than allowing the port to 'float' between the controllers. Total power-off (battery out on laptops) can sometimes clear that state. It is rare, though.
[19:39] <chrisss123456> TJ-: i think thats the issue. its an “Always-on” usb port
[19:40] <TJ-> chrisss123456: Glad we solved it :)
[19:40] <chrisss123456> TJ-: Thanks for the help
[19:40] <chrisss123456> :)
[19:40] <chrisss123456> TJ-: actually, may i ask another question?
[19:40] <TJ-> chrisss123456: whilst you're on a roll ... :)
[19:41] <Kireji> with new users there's some program that runs that lists dist-updates that are available, packages that needs updating, it cats the content of /etc/legal and then prints last login.  with no shell or homedir it drops the new user into / and runs sh -- What is the program that does all these steps?  (specifically, I want to see how it's finding the number of packages to update and dist-updates available, so I can use them elsewhere)
[19:41] <chrisss123456> i would like to install ubuntu, but not remove a recovery partition. but when i choose what partitions to remove, it shows me a bunch of others (including the old win8 os partition). these i think are system partitions and should not be touched, right?
[19:41] <TJ-> Kireji: login and pam_motd and friends
[19:43] <usr13> chrisss123456: If it's a desktop, best to just add a second hard drive.
[19:43] <ingsoc> anyone know of any issues with ubuntu and DNS resolution
[19:43] <TJ-> chrisss123456: Those partitions and their uses are very much manufacturer-specific so it'd be difficult for me to advise you accurately, but generally there can be 1 or 2 'hidden' (from Windows users) partitions with Recovery and other Windows-specific tools in them
[19:43] <ingsoc> 12.04 32bit
[19:43] <ingsoc> get intermittent extremely slow dns
[19:43] <ingsoc> timing out etc.
[19:43]  * TJ- wves to ingsoc
[19:43] <ingsoc> other machines on same network no problems
[19:43] <ingsoc> hey there
[19:43] <chrisss123456> TJ-: alright, well i’ll leave them. im on a laptop :)
[19:44] <TJ-> ingsoc: As the PCs are on wireless I'm going to hazard a guess that at certain times of the day something overloads or interferes with the radio signals - does someone turn on a microwave to cook their lumch, for example?
[19:45] <TJ-> ingsoc: There should be evidence (if the wireless connection drops) in "/var/log/syslog" and their might also be indications of kernel-level driver faults in "/var/log/kern.log" - check for log timestamps matching the time the DNS had problems
[19:45] <haled> my laptop has a blinking thin white line on the top left part of the screen when using Ubuntu (but not win7). How can I fix this?
[19:45] <chrisss123456> TJ-: got a problem: i’m unable to install because it gives me this error: “No root file system is defined”
[19:46] <TJ-> haled: You mean you're using the desktop and pointing and clicking and a white line shows on the desktop, or do you mean you start the PC and as soon as firmware tries to load the boot-loader you get a blank screen with a blinking underline cursor top-left ?
[19:47] <TJ-> chrisss123456: That makes sense; you probably didn't assign one in the Installer :)
[19:47] <chrisss123456> TJ-: haha ok, how do I? :P
[19:47] <haled> using the desktop GUI of linux and then the white line appears and disappears about once every 0.1 sec
[19:48] <haled> any text environment (virtual servers included) seems just fine
[19:48] <TJ-> chrisss123456: I'm guessing you're using the manual partitioning method in the installer to choose where things get put?
[19:48] <chrisss123456> TJ-: yea, and where things are erased (or is that not what the - sign is for…?)
[19:48] <TJ-> haled: Hmmm, that sounds very weird, almost like a flashing hardware cursor
[19:49] <haled> TJ-, the cursor seems ok
[19:49] <TJ-> chrisss123456: In the manual partitioner, there are several options for each partition you're configuring, and one is to set what the partition will be used for (I think they call it "mount"), and one of the options is "/" which means the root file-system.
[19:50] <TJ-> haled: Have you checked the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" in case that gives clues of a hardware/driver issue?
[19:50] <haled> nope. good idea :)
[19:50] <chrisss123456> TJ-: ah, i think i understand. thank you again :)
[19:50] <ingsoc> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58712
[19:50] <ingsoc> /etc/nsswitch.conf
[19:51] <ingsoc> what does that file do
[19:51] <ingsoc> and i changed hosts to
[19:51] <TJ-> ingsoc: Are those systems configured to use "nscd" ?
[19:51] <ingsoc> hosts:          files dns
[19:51] <ingsoc> and it is lightning now
[19:51] <ingsoc> wtf
[19:51] <ingsoc> WTF ????
[19:51] <ingsoc> lol
[19:52] <ingsoc> i had previously disabled ipv6
[19:52] <TJ-> ingsoc: Ahhh!
[19:52] <ingsoc> as people say that has an effect
[19:52] <ingsoc> loads of things i have tried
[19:52] <ingsoc> i cannot believe i just stumbled on that now
[19:52] <ingsoc> after weeks
[19:52] <ingsoc> must be you giving me good luck TJ-:
[19:52] <k1l_> ingsoc: please reduce the ammount of enter usage. you might get caught as spam
[19:53] <ingsoc> k1l_: sorry, just excited
[19:53] <ingsoc> TJ-: why the "Ahhhhh"
[19:53] <TJ-> ingsoc: So is it that the DNS resolver is returning AAAA (IPv6) records which those clients (with IPv6 disabled)  cannot reach?
[19:54] <chrisss123456> TJ-: ok, im confused and slightly scared.
[19:54] <ingsoc> TJ-: spoke too soon, still seems slow again now
[19:54] <ingsoc> but why
[19:55] <TJ-> ingsoc: What dns name is going slow? Try to manually reproduce the timeout using "dig <hostname>"
[19:56] <TJ-> chrisss123456: what's up?
[19:56] <chrisss123456> TJ-: so i’ve just read up on what i’m about to do, and it seems either unwise or dangerous, so if i may i will explain fully.
[19:57] <TJ-> chrisss123456: Go ahead, lots of people here are familiar with the installer
[19:57] <onto> Hi! According to synaptic, I have gettext v0.18.1 but gettext --version gives me "0.11.5"
[19:57] <onto> How do I upgrade gettext? I need at least 0.12 as a dependency
[19:57] <chrisss123456> i just bought a laptop with win8, which has an included recovery partition in the disk. it also has 2 other partitions which I dont know the nature of (presumably the windows extra stuff). now, i dont particularly care about win8, but i would like to keep the recovery partition should things go south
[19:57] <k1l_> onto: which ubuntu?
[19:57] <TJ-> onto: what does "which gettext" report ?
[19:58] <onto> k1l_: precise
[19:58] <chrisss123456> But, i’ve read that i shouldnt delete the windows partition (http://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/how-to-use-manual-partitioning-during-installation/343370#343370), and then the installer also mentioned swap, which i should presumably create
[19:58] <k1l_> onto: apt-cache policy gettext
[19:59] <TJ-> chrisss123456: You know that you can simply shrink the Windows 8 partition's size to the minimum required, by starting Windows and going into Control Panel's Administrative Tools and running Disk Management?
[19:59] <onto> TJ-: Ah, I see the problem. That was the solution. It was apparently using lampp version of gettext instead of the system gettext, I had set the bin directory in my PATH environment variable
[19:59] <onto> Thanks!
[19:59] <TJ-> chrisss123456: That way could keep everything in place, create space for Ubuntu, and be happy
[19:59] <chrisss123456> TJ-: yea, but i’d like to remove it.
[19:59] <ingsoc> TJ-: I will get back to you.  when it goes to shit again i will dig @alternate_dns_server address_to_lookup
[19:59] <k1l_> onto: lamp :/
[20:00] <chrisss123456> haha i only want the recovery partition if things go bad, but apart from that i dont wanna touch win8 again
[20:00] <onto> k1l_: I'm moving to docker for development. :p
[20:01] <TJ-> chrisss123456: OK ... how about doing it in 2 stages .... shrink Windows 8, install Ubuntu in the spare space, see how things go then in a few days delete the Windows file-system and replace it with one you can add to the Ubuntu installation? If in the Ubuntu installer you choose an LVM install, that'll allow Linux to effectively join separate partitions into one volume group for Linux use
[20:02] <chrisss123456> TJ-: that’s a good idea. but i’m trying to undestand why it is bad to delete the windows partition (and the two system ones) if i was planning on doing that. (save for the recovery partition)
[20:03] <TJ-> chrisss123456: It's not, but you seem unsure right now so I'm suggesting a compromise that - if the Ubuntu install goes wrong - still leaves a working PC with networking ability
[20:03] <compengi> Hello everyone, I'm copying bunch of folder from one directory to another using "rsync" but I get "rsync: mkdir "/path/to/folder" failed: Permission denied (13)" the "folder" exists and I'm executing this command:  rsync -aq --progress . /path/to/folder. I know that rsync maybe trying to create the "folder" folder and it already exists, that why? Other than that the "folder" has read/write permissions to the user
[20:04] <manskal_> s
[20:04] <manskal_> hi
[20:04] <manskal_> users
[20:04] <chrisss123456> TJ-: fair point. thanks again :)
[20:04] <TJ-> chrisss123456: last time I did that Windows needed about 28GB - not sure what Win8 would need
[20:06] <Krapulat> Hi, I’m trying to install php5-redis but I get: “E: Unable to locate package php5-redis”. I’m using Ubuntu 12.04.
[20:06] <chrisss123456> TJ-: you know what… im starting to have a change of heart. the recovery disk is so that if i should send the laptop for software issues, then it can be fixed in warranty (heard it helps)
[20:06] <chrisss123456> TJ-: but, i’d like to just stick with linux, so i think i’ll wipe the entire disk and start anew
[20:07] <TJ-> chrisss123456: In that case I usually take a backup of the recovery image so it can be replaced if needed. At some point in the future you may want to resell the PC, for example
[20:07] <TJ-> chrisss123456: You've paid for a Windows licence as part of the PC, so no point throwing that away
[20:08] <chrisss123456> TJ-: i was trying to do that but with no luck: all the methods i found wipe the drive you’re backing up to, and i dont have a free one :/
[20:08] <chrisss123456> thats not supposed ot be a snarky face
[20:08] <TJ-> chrisss123456: Do you have another disk drive with an existing file-system on it big enough to take the recovery image?
[20:08] <runa> heyas. suddenly, only half of my touchpad works, the left half is vertical scroll. I've tried setting the LeftEdge=0 using synclient with no luck. I'm not really interested in gestures, so I'm fine losing that. Any hints?
[20:09] <jjavaholic> is there a way to spend up font selection from instead the gnome-tweak-tool when you have 16,000 + fonts to choose from?
[20:09] <chrisss123456> TJ-: sadly no. i have a communal backup disk that i back other systems on (which i dont want to wipe, of course)
[20:10] <samthewildone> Just created a bash script, how  do I enable keyboard commands to launch that script ? For example, three taps of "F1" on desktop launches script
[20:10] <TJ-> chrisss123456: It is relatively simple to write the partition image to a simple file: E.g. lets assume /dev/sda2 is a recovery image on the PC, and you've plugged in a USB 3 external hard disk with a file-system that has mounted to "/media/ubuntu/disk1" - it'd simply be "sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/ubuntu/disk1/laptop-recovery-sda2.img bs=1M"
[20:11] <TJ-> chrisss123456: oops! my typo! that should be "if=/dev/sda2" of course!
[20:12] <chrisss123456> TJ-: oh wow that’s seemingly simple.
[20:12] <chrisss123456> ok so if i had the partition with the recovery drive (which would be the most sensible to copy, right?)
[20:13] <chrisss123456> oh dear. it doesnt want to access the hard drive :/
[20:13] <The_NetZ> hey. current release, what kernel version does it have?
[20:13] <chrisss123456> :( *
[20:13] <TJ-> chrisss123456: If you wanted to attempt compression of the recovery image you could pipe the data read by 'dd' through gzip, like so: "sudo sh -c 'dd if=/dev/sda1  bs=1M | gzip >/media/ubuntu/disk1/laptop-recovery-sda2.img.gz'  "
[20:14] <k1l_> !info linux-image-generic | The_NetZ
[20:14] <chrisss123456> TJ-: oh and then i could transfer it to a usb key?
[20:14] <The_NetZ> k1l_: thanks. apparently my b43 card doesn't like kernel 3.16.1 yet
[20:14] <TJ-> chrisss123456: My thought is that the USB key would be the the device mounted at /media/ubuntu/disk1/
[20:15] <TJ-> chrisss123456: When a removable device is connected and has valid file-systems a standard Ubuntu system will auto-mount it under "/media/$USER/<disk-label-or-UUID>"
[20:15] <chrisss123456> TJ-: mmh, ok. but my hard disk is not allowed? (Unable to access “DISK”)
[20:16] <chrisss123456> TJ-: i suppose it doesn’t have a valid file system…
[20:16] <TJ-> chrisss123456: In the Live environment the username is "ubuntu" of course, hence my example using "/media/ubuntu/ ..."
[20:17] <chrisss123456> TJ-: ok, but do you have an idea why it’s not allowed? it has a fat32 partition, which should be allowed, right’
[20:17] <chrisss123456> ?
[20:17] <TJ-> chrisss123456: That was just my example, the name you use depends on what the file-system is known as. Do "ls /media/$USER/" to find out if there's a directory for the device
[20:17] <runa> (sorry, missed the answer, if any) heyas. suddenly, only half of my touchpad works, the left half is vertical scroll. I've tried setting the LeftEdge=0 using synclient with no luck. I'm not really interested in gestures, so I'm fine losing that. Any hints?
[20:17] <TJ-> chrisss123456: You can also do "mount | grep '/media/' "
[20:18] <dav1dp0101> TJ- , I'm having the same problem from before: my root filesystem for some reason is being duplicated in the directory /mnt/*}. Do you know why?
[20:18] <TJ-> chrisss123456: If the FAT32 file-system had a label "Donkey" you'd see "/media/ubuntu/Donkey"
[20:18] <dav1dp0101> TJ- : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8253101/
[20:18] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: "pastebinit < <(mount && stat /mnt)"
[20:19] <chrisss123456> TJ-: if i do cd /media/ubuntu, and then ls it shows nothing...
[20:19] <Krapulat> How can I install php5-redis in Precise?
[20:19] <TJ-> chrisss123456: OK, so it hasn't been mounted yet. In the Ubuntu file manager double-click the icon representing the USB device and it should then be mounted
[20:19] <dav1dp0101> TJ- and here is the stat /mnt : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8253118/
[20:20] <chrisss123456> TJ-: it gives an error: Unable to access “DISK”
[20:20] <TJ-> chrisss123456: That's from the GUI, and the USB device's FAT32 file-system is called "DISK" ?
[20:21] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: How about "stat /"
[20:21] <chrisss123456> TJ-: no, full name is: 1.9TB Volume
[20:21] <maverick_> fala pessoal do brasil
[20:21] <TJ-> chrisss123456: USB device is 1.9TB ?
[20:21] <dav1dp0101> TJ- : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8253132/
[20:21] <chrisss123456> TJ-: it’s an external hard-drive
[20:22] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: OK, well "/" and "/mnt" are hard-linked on the same inode, so it isn't that
[20:22] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: "pastebin < <(ls -al /mnt/*)"
[20:23] <dav1dp0101> TJ-: There's my entire root directory in there: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8253154/
[20:24] <dav1dp0101> TJ- also the name of the directory is /mnt/*}. I've never heard of a directory called "*}". What could that signify?
[20:25] <waveofd00m> Hello guys, I want to install a package in ubuntu 14.04 which will be released with ubuntu 14.10. Is this possible?
[20:25] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: OK, lets compare inodes: "pastebinit < <(ls -ial /  /mnt/)"
[20:26] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: Oh! You've managed to create a directory with the literal asterisk character during a "cp" operation it looks like
[20:26] <antonio__> Hey folks...
[20:27] <dav1dp0101> TJ- : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8253178/
[20:27] <dav1dp0101> TJ-: That makes total sense, I would make a mistake like that. The problem is that I deleted it earlier today. And then later today, I came back and it was there again.
[20:27] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: "  sudo rm -rf "/mnt/\*\}"    "
[20:28] <dav1dp0101> TJ-: Maybe I'm making an error in an rsync command on my crontab.
[20:28] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: Yes, that would explain it perfectly
[20:28] <Stuttergart> hi, everyone
[20:28] <dav1dp0101> TJ-: I will send you my crontab via pastebin.
[20:28] <Stuttergart> can someone point me to the docs on the libdevel subsection of the apt repo?
[20:28] <waveofd00m> Hello guys, I want to install a package in ubuntu 14.04 which will be released with ubuntu 14.10. Is this possible?
[20:29] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: sounds like the shell is interpreting literal characters rather than expanding them
[20:29] <Stuttergart> I'm trying to figure out how exactly I would enable that section
[20:29] <dav1dp0101> TJ- : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8253192/
[20:29] <TJ-> Stuttergart: It's already enabled
[20:29] <chrisss123456> TJ-: thoughts?
[20:29] <Valarkin_> Hoping there might be someone who can help me with an installation media free reconfiguration of a borked RAID config on an rented dedi box. I've posted at AskUbuntu (http://askubuntu.com/questions/520210/ovh-dedi-14-04-server-raid-reconfiguration-help-for-a-total-noob) and asked here previously, but am terribly noob.
[20:29] <jhutchins> waveofd00m: It might be possible, it's usually a bad idea.
[20:30] <carpediembaby> Hello, i have installed ubuntu 14.04 on vmware but i cant seem to get shared folders to mount. Could someone please point me to a howto that works?
[20:30] <TJ-> chrisss123456: Where are you stuck now? There's not a lot I can do from here if you're having problems mounting the external device
[20:30] <Valarkin_> carpe: have you installed the guest addition
[20:30] <Valarkin_> s?
[20:31] <Valarkin_> oops vmware
[20:31] <Valarkin_> nm
[20:31] <Valarkin_> :d
[20:31] <chrisss123456> TJ-: well im just completely unable to mount the hard drive. and for seemingly no reason.
[20:31] <waveofd00m> jhutchins: can you tell me how it works?
[20:31] <antonio__> Tried to backup my home folder yesterday.  Only backed up about 193 gigs of like 300gigs.  Is it possible that there is a report as to what went wrong?  Or is it possible to setup some kind of debugging I can do?
[20:32] <TJ-> dav1dp0101: "man rsync" "/^INCLUDE\EXCLUDE" ... "Note also that the --filter, --include, and --exclude options take one rule/pattern each. To add multiple ones, you can repeat the options on  the  command-line..."
[20:32] <waveofd00m> jhutchins: I need this package -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnuradio/3.7.3-9
[20:33] <jhutchins> waveofd00m: If the package has dependencies that are not in 14.04 it won't install.  If you enable a 14.10 repository so it can pull those dependencies, they might break other things in 14.04.
[20:34] <TJ-> chrisss123456: Hmmm, check the log file: "tail /var/log/syslog" just after you've tried mounting the drive. If nothing shows there, try "tail /home/$USER/.xsession-errors"
[20:34] <jhutchins> waveofd00m: Even if everything goes smoothly, you may create problems updating the 14.04 system.  Usually those problems get so tangled that the only solution is a clean install.
[20:34] <dav1dp0101> TJ-: Could you help me reformulate that rsync command? I want it to copy everything from the root directory onto an external hard drive which is mounted at /fileBackups and /imageBackups.
[20:34] <dav1dp0101> TJ- : here is the existing rsync. I know I should remove the "*" from the target because that is probably part of the problem.
[20:34] <jhutchins> waveofd00m: The proper way to do it is to get the source of the package and compile it against 14.04 libraries (if possible).  This is called "backporting".
[20:35] <chrisss123456> TJ-: ah. there’s some stuff there.
[20:35] <jhutchins> waveofd00m: I know almost nothing about backporting in ubuntu.
[20:35] <chrisss123456> lots of assumptions: Assuming drive cache: write through. and that sorta stuff
[20:35] <waveofd00m> jhutchins: ok, thanks for your advice. I think I will stick with the older version of the package. Thank you!
