[00:01] <gry> Snwspeckle: that's a different error now. What did you change? And would you like to install it from the repositories, or by hand?
[00:02] <Snwspeckle> gry, It's the same error I seem to be getting before I rolled to my backup. In terms of installing, I am downloading the binaries and running its installer
[00:02] <teaearlgraycold> Is there a distro I should be using for an HTPC?
[00:03] <bazhang> teaearlgraycold, like ubuntu mythtv?
[00:04] <teaearlgraycold> bazhang, what's MythTV add to Ubuntu?
[00:04] <Lilith23>  Watch Me Suck Real Big Dick On My Site http://bitly.com/1nx3K4c
[00:05] <k1l> obviously dont click on that spam link :)
[00:05] <teaearlgraycold> Wow, porn spam in IRC?
[00:05] <teaearlgraycold> First time for me
[00:05] <bazhang> teaearlgraycold, when you say htpc how involved are you wanting
[00:06] <teaearlgraycold> bazhang, well honestly I'm probably just going to have it autolaunch XBMC :P
[00:06] <teaearlgraycold> I'm not using optical media or a TV tuner
[00:07] <bazhang> teaearlgraycold, so lubuntu, to save on resources
[00:07] <bazhang> !lubuntu | teaearlgraycold
[00:07] <teaearlgraycold> bazhang, alright. Will that have compositing though? Don't I need compositing to prevent video tearing?
[00:07] <bazhang> !info mythbuntu-desktop | teaearlgraycold
[00:08] <teaearlgraycold> Yeah it's a 2GB machine
[00:08] <teaearlgraycold> So maybe that's best
[00:08] <Junior> hello, good night
[00:08] <Junior> I cannot boot ubuntu from usb flash drive
[00:09] <Junior> my notebook is LG SlidePad 2
[00:09] <bubbasaures> Junior, How did you load ubuntu to the usb?
[00:09] <Junior> I tried to use unetbootin, rufus and universal usb installer
[00:09] <Junior> I alo disabled secure boot
[00:09] <Junior> also*
[00:10] <Tintle_> STOP
[00:10] <bubbasaures> !uefi | Junior
[00:11] <k1l> Junior: is it a arm device?
[00:11] <Junior> ubottu, I followed the instructions on that site
[00:13] <Guest40659> Please don't play with my bot
[00:13] <Guest40659> It is not a game, potato
[00:14] <k1l> Tintle: stop that. no bots in here. and you are not allowed in here now too
[00:21] <gry> Snwspeckle: Remind me 1) why you're not using it from the repos, 2) what you're doing differently that wouldn't put you in the same situation?
[00:21] <gry> Snwspeckle: and am I correct that you started getting a different error ('not installed' instead of 'file not found') after you rolled back the backup?
[00:21] <Snwspeckle> gry, I am just skipping over it. I think its an install problem according to some ppl. All is well ! :)
[00:22] <gry> how do you define "skipping over"? you doing it again without identifying the problem sounds ungood to me. rolling back to backups instead of learning is not good.
[00:22] <Snwspeckle> gry, I just cant run ejabberdctl commands from anywhere but if I point to ejabberdctl directly it works okay
[00:24] <gry> Snwspeckle: you didn't answer -any- of the questions I asked
[00:24] <gry> Snwspeckle: what is your native language?
[00:25] <Snwspeckle> gry, After rolling back I do not seem to be getting any file not found errors, only the not installed error. And english.
[00:28] <gry> Snwspeckle: ok. now you should install I suppose. how are you doing this, and why - from the repos or by hand?
[00:29] <mazertm> Hi. im runing ubuntu 14.10 utopic - 3.16.0-23-generic: runing command 'nethogs version 0.8.0' give me this error: "nethogs: cui.cpp:416: void do_refresh(): Assertion `pwuid != 0' failed." what are causing this ?
[00:29] <Snwspeckle> gry, I download the binaries from here (http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads/) and use execute the binaries. The packages on apt-get are not update and severly out of date.
[00:29] <david_> někdo CZ/SK?
[00:29] <egregius> hey guys
[00:29] <egregius> my linux mint update cums back with errors everytime
[00:29] <k1l> !cz | david_
[00:29] <egregius> say there is connection errorz
[00:29] <k1l> egregius: so please ask the mint guys
[00:29] <k1l> !mint | egregius
[00:30] <egregius> why isnt it supported?
[00:30] <k1l> why did you not install ubuntu if you want support in this channel? please dont make a drama and ask the mint support.
[00:31] <egregius> do you think all the nigs are gunna go crazy in fergison?
[00:33] <gry> Snwspeckle: ok. I see http://www.process-one.net/docs/ejabberd/guide_en.html#htoc5 «To start and stop ejabberd manually, use the desktop shortcuts created by the installer. If the machine doesn’t have a graphical system, use the scripts ’start’ and ’stop’ in the ’bin’ directory where ejabberd is installed.», hope it is of help. As mentioned earlier you should be able to add the binary directory ..
[00:33] <Snwspeckle> Ah I didnt see that! Thanks, that explains a lot... lol
[00:34] <Wamphyri> k1l, oh oh oh can i get one of those to??? :D
[00:34] <NuClEaRbLaSt> ive got a directory with 700 permissions. when i do chmod 755 on it, im just returned to the command prompt as if the command executed successfully, but the directory permissions are still 700. any ideas?
[00:34] <gry> Snwspeckle: ...to PATH. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#A.2BAH4ALw.profile (except your directory would not be $HOME/MyPrograms, it would be something else.
[00:34] <gry> Snwspeckle: )
[00:41] <mazertm> Hi. im runing ubuntu 14.10 utopic - 3.16.0-23-generic: runing command 'nethogs version 0.8.0' give me this error: "nethogs: cui.cpp:416: void do_refresh(): Assertion `pwuid != 0' failed." what are causing this ?
[00:41] <Snwspeckle> gry, One thing that batters me in ejabberd is that it stores passwords in plain text! It is so sooo stupid!
[00:49] <nmatrix9> Hello all
[00:49] <nmatrix9> Anyone able to successfully install nvidia drivers on their box and get a dual monitory system set up?
[00:50] <nmatrix9> Extended desktop?
[00:50] <nmatrix9> This is for Ubuntu 14.04
[00:52] <squinty> nmatrix9:  it is better to just state your exact problem rather than "anyone able....." etc.  if someone can help they will reply
[00:54] <nmatrix9> squinty, I've managed to get my dual monitor setup with NVidia drivers 331 but my second monitor, I simply cannot change the resolution from 800x600 to anything higher.
[00:55] <k1l> how its connected? with a adapter?
[00:55] <nmatrix9> squinty I've tried changing the settings in the nvidia x server settings utility.
[00:56] <nmatrix9> k1l, Was that question for me?
[00:56] <k1l> nmatrix9: yes
[00:58] <k1l> too slow resolution sounds like monitor is not authentificated properly
[00:58] <nmatrix9> k1l, not sure I understand your question but both monitors are directly connected via dvi to my Geforce GTX 550 Ti
[00:58] <root> Brazilians here?
[00:58] <in_deep_thought> what is the name of the RandR extension that I need? sudo apt-get xrandr doesn’t seem to work. It can’t find the package
[00:58] <k1l> !br | Guest37974
[00:59] <nmatrix9> k1l, I had my dual monitor setup working under 12.04
[00:59] <nmatrix9> k1l, both monitors running under same resolutions
[00:59] <k1l> nmatrix9: ok. no cable adapter like from vga->hdmi or such. but if it worked before
[00:59] <rnom> I need some help using -exec with find. I'm trying to move files in {}/* to {}/../ (everything in a subdirectory up a level). This is my command that is failing: find . -type d -mindepth 3 -exec mv '"{}"/*' '"{}"/../' \;
[01:00] <k1l> nmatrix9: driver loaded propperly?
[01:00] <squinty> nmatrix9:  if applicable try renaming xorg.conf to something else and then try nvidia x server settings again.  an old xorg.conf might be causing a conflict...just a thought
[01:01] <adu> hey
[01:01] <nmatrix9> k1l, how can I tell if it's loaded properly or improperly?
[01:02] <loki__> hello guys, if i have dev dir under chroot with files like urandom, i can delete this folder safe?
[01:02] <nmatrix9> k1l, I mean Iam logged into Kubuntu desktop everything is almost perfect except for the fact that my second monitor is stuck at 800x600
[01:02] <adu> My laptop just froze during boot it says "[    4.9...] input: CyPS/2 Cypress Trackpad as ..."
[01:02] <adu> any pointers?
[01:02] <k1l> nmatrix9: "lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3:"
[01:03] <loki__> such files http://pastebin.com/mWD1ER5t
[01:03] <loki__> can i delete them?
[01:03] <nmatrix9> squinty, I tried that last night xorg.conf.new  to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but I think I broke something cause even though I got X I no longer had dual monitor support
[01:03] <squinty> in_deep_thought:  see if arandr suits your needs.    apt-cache show arandr   for details
[01:05] <nmatrix9> k1l, getting grep: 3:: invalid context length argument
[01:06] <k1l> nmatrix9: oh scratch that last :
[01:06] <NuClEaRbLaSt> finally samba is working
[01:06] <NuClEaRbLaSt> taking a long time to copy data over the network on n150 wireless. thinki i need a gagabit switch
[01:07] <Wamphyri> k1l, i think unity has a issue with some generic mice
[01:07] <nmatrix9> k1l, looks like it is in use  "        Kernel driver in use: nvidia
[01:07] <nmatrix9> "
[01:07] <squinty> lady gagabit switch?  ;-)
[01:07] <NuClEaRbLaSt> that would be awesome
[01:07] <k1l> nmatrix9: ok
[01:07] <rnom> can anyone help with find -exec?
[01:07] <daftykins> squinty: so punny :D
[01:07] <squinty> :)
[01:08] <NuClEaRbLaSt> the lady gagabit switch, where no port goes unused
[01:08] <akiva-thinkpad> whats a linuxy term for "moderation tools"
[01:08] <NuClEaRbLaSt> administration tools?
[01:08] <akiva-thinkpad> yah; just something that has a linuxy feel
[01:09] <akiva-thinkpad> say if your a sysadmin or something
[01:09] <k1l> !ot | akiva-thinkpad
[01:09] <akiva-thinkpad> k1l, on topic. I'm editting the ubuntu subreddit.
[01:09] <NuClEaRbLaSt> see how warm and welcoming it is
[01:10] <k1l> akiva-thinkpad: no, "some linuxey words" are not ontpoic. please put that into the offtopic channel, that is for chitchat. thanks
[01:10] <akiva-thinkpad> ikr?
[01:10] <rnom> trying `-exec mv "{}/*" "{}/../"` but it tells me no such file or directory
[01:10] <akiva-thinkpad> k1l, some ubuntu -y words
[01:10] <in_deep_thought> squinty: arandr installed without fail but I still get the same RANDR extension is not present error
[01:11] <NuClEaRbLaSt> that was a douche move
[01:16] <squinty> in_deep_thought:  if using lubuntu see if lxrandr is installed.  or you can also see if any of the randr packages are installed   aptitude search xrandr | grep -i "i  "  or  dpkg -l | grep xrandr  etc.  could also check in Synaptic Package Manager (if you have it installed)
[01:17] <akiva-thinkpad> !revenge | k1l
[01:17] <akiva-thinkpad> mwa ha ha
[01:17] <akiva-thinkpad> I got my revenge
[01:17]  * akiva-thinkpad is done
[01:19] <in_deep_thought> squinty: I seem to have a lot of libxrandr packages
[01:19] <in_deep_thought> libxrandr2 even is listed as an Randr extension library
[01:19] <in_deep_thought> but this doesn’t count when trying to adjust my display settings?
[01:21] <rnom> is there a better channel to ask questions about gnu find?
[01:22] <JavaJosh> I'm trying to install ubuntu for a new linux user at work. I have tried this with the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator and Unetbootin. When I boot his laptop from the USB stick, I see the grub menu flash, then I'm staring at a black screen. That is as far as I can get :(. any help would be great!
[01:22] <daftykins> !nomodeset | JavaJosh assuming it was made from a good download of the ISO
[01:24] <in_deep_thought> is there perhaps a “driver manager” I can install to manage my drivers so that I can remove them if I want to?
[01:24] <JavaJosh> ubottu: I am familiar with this, but the grub menu appears for a millisecond. I can't enter that information
[01:24] <in_deep_thought> what is the name of such a manager
[01:25] <sloantothebone> !revenge | sloantothebone
[01:25] <sloantothebone> !lol | sloantothebone
[01:26] <squinty> in_deep_thought:  search for Additional Drivers  (might be under Software and Updates)
[01:26] <k1l> rnom: maybe the bash channels? or if there is a gnu related channel?
[01:26] <k1l> !alis | rnom
[01:26] <nmatrix9> k1l, if there was some sort of way to edit the .conf file to accept resolutions higher than 800x600 that would be cool too.
[01:27] <sloantothebone> alis: hello?
[01:28] <squinty> nmatrix9:  more than likely the xorg.conf is not needed.  did you try renaming it and then rebooting. once rebooted, try nvidia x-server settings and Displays again
[01:28] <in_deep_thought> squinty: I do have that. However it only seems to list additional drivers and give the ability to activate or deactivate them. not remove them
[01:28] <martapy> Hi guys. I need help. I can't login to ubuntu 14.04 because it says "failed to start session". Before this, I did apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and apt-get dist-upgrade.
[01:28] <sloantothebone> My battery icon is still frozen. Do you guys know any package that has something to do with the batteries that I can reinstall?
[01:29] <martapy> now i can't login
[01:29] <daftykins> sloantothebone: what did you try? "still" ?
[01:29] <sloantothebone> I thought it might be some random glitch but it's still frozen
[01:30] <k1l> martapy: log into tty and see if .Xauthority belongs to root:root or user:user
[01:30] <martapy> i can login to tty with the same username and password
[01:31] <squinty> in_deep_thought:  afaik, unselecting a driver via the Additional Drivers will remove said driver (and either the system will revert to the open source driver or another driver can be selected from the driver listings).
[01:31] <martapy> k1l: how do i check if .Xauthority belongs to root or user?
[01:32] <squinty> martapy:  maybe try accessing a previous kernel from the grub boot menu... see if it will boot into your desktop then.
[01:32] <in_deep_thought> squinty: ok so I deactivated all video drivers. Now I want to be able to use xrandr. How would I activate that one, seeing as its already installed (aRandR)
[01:33] <OhneBrandon> I have Ubuntu 14.10. I mounted a .ISO with the "sudo mkdir /media/iso" and "sudo mount -o loop <path>.iso" commands. When I restarted my computer, every file and folder is read only. Does anyone know how to fix that?
[01:33] <daftykins> martapy: logged in at the TTY, run "ls -al ~/" and look who owns .Xauthority
[01:34] <nmatrix9> squinty, ok will do
[01:34] <martapy> daftykins: .Xauthority belongs to user
[01:34] <ubuntuaddicted> anyone else have an issue where sometimes there usb mouse or keyboard doesn't work after a new system boot up?  it's weird, sometimes it registers and sometimes it doesn't so i have to unplug it and plug it back in and it works just fine. thoughts?
[01:35] <k1l> martapy: sorry, yes ls -al will show owners. if its user:user that is right. and we need to see for another solution
[01:35] <martapy> k1l: it belongs to me (user).
[01:36] <martapy> k1l: i tried reinstalling the ubuntu-session and ubuntu-desktop, but it says "The following packages have unmet dependencies"
[01:38] <spelter> Can ubuntu read ext partitions? I am trying to cp a flavor of linux from a HD taken form a WD hard drive and OSX will not allow this.
[01:38] <spelter> *WD mycloud router
[01:39] <daftykins> spelter: Linux distros use ext file systems, so yeah - it can read it
[01:39] <daftykins> spelter: you want to clone from disk to disk? clonezilla. bootable debian ISO.
[01:40] <spelter> yes Id like to save it for later use
[01:40] <maslauskas> yo yo yo
[01:40] <daftykins> spelter: so you're making a backup image?
[01:40] <daftykins> clonezilla will do that too.
[01:42] <spelter> well I want to nuke the disc then partition it to my liking. Put the RouterOS back on so the WDmycloud is much smaller and I can use the other partitions for better purposes
[01:42] <k1l> martapy: what errors?
[01:42] <Ranieri_> Yo ubuntu, how do I change the file permissions so that I am the sole person that can read/write to /home/rob and every directory/file in it.
[01:43] <Ranieri_> k1l: ^^^^
[01:43] <martapy> k1l: it says "The following packages have unmet dependencies"
[01:44] <k1l> Ranieri_: no need for extra highlighting me for your macOS issue.
[01:44] <Ranieri_> k1l: :O, how did you know#?
[01:44] <k1l> martapy: so you have PPAs installed?
[01:45] <martapy> kil: i don't know if i have the ppas installed
[01:47] <k1l> !paste | martapy put the errors there please
[01:53] <aurorauser> Got a weird issue. working on a machine, currently has a Raid10 MDADM array. /dev/md0 is formatted as ext3, is mounted within the filesystem, am able to see all the data inside the mountpoint.
[01:54] <aurorauser> had 6 drives total, and I had to fail 2 drives out. Raid status clean, but degraded
[01:54] <aurorauser> this array doesn't have any partitions within its drives
[01:55] <aurorauser> it looks like it was created with /dev/sda /dev/sdb, etc and not /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1
[01:55] <aurorauser> since theres no partitions, I can't copy the partition table to the new drive
[01:55] <aurorauser> and now when I add the disk to the array, it doesn't rebuild the drive in, it just adds it as a spare
[01:56] <aurorauser> and blkid shows "linux_raid_member" for the drives
[01:56] <nmatrix9> k1l, no progress made I still can't change the resolution of my second monitor.
[01:57] <daftykins> aurorauser: not used software RAID, but if you get nothing here try #ubuntu-server also
[01:58] <aurorauser> daftykins: thanks
[02:05] <harry_> goodmorningeverybody
[02:08] <k2gremlin> Sup all, Anyone got a moment to help me with a fresh install problem?
[02:08] <tms> waht kind of problem?
[02:09] <k2gremlin> Well first thing I did when I installed Ubuntu on a VM is setup the network/interfaces file..
[02:09] <k2gremlin> Now it will not resolve out..
[02:09] <harry__> nog iemand wakker hier
[02:09] <daftykins> k2gremlin: pings to internet hosts but no DNS huh?
[02:10] <k2gremlin> Yea.. just changed the network adapter on the VM... booting now
[02:11] <k2gremlin> nope wasnt the adapter
[02:12] <daftykins> k2gremlin: what virt tech is this?
[02:13] <k2gremlin> esxi
[02:13] <daftykins> you know about resolvconf?
[02:13] <k2gremlin> yea but it says its updated dynamically so dont write there...
[02:19] <iKlsR> hi, i installed libunity-dev but when I include <unity.h> it says cannot find
[02:20] <iKlsR> where would the header go?
[02:20] <k2gremlin> daftykins, Yea I can't even apt-get update lol
[02:20] <daftykins> k2gremlin: alright so can you share what you put in interfaces?
[02:21] <w00ter> fergison verdict
[02:21] <w00ter> whos listening?
[02:21] <compdoc> you
[02:21] <daftykins> w00ter: you're welcome to discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:21] <w00ter> ty
[02:22] <k2gremlin> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/E5xxWQPG
[02:23] <orlock> My xterms keep locking up, and have to be killed
[02:23] <orlock> the close window "X" doesnt work
[02:24] <orlock> Ubuntu 14.04 lts
[02:24] <orlock> i guess its likely to be whatever nvidia driver Ubuntu comes with?
[02:25] <daftykins> k2gremlin: that looks fine, so if you "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" right now it's working fine?
[02:25] <k2gremlin> When I attemot to edit the resolv file it says in all caps do not edit by hand. file will be overwritten
[02:25] <k2gremlin> Yes
[02:25] <k2gremlin> I can ping out
[02:25] <squirtle_51> I run Ubuntu Mate. I set up a  custom shortcut so that  it executes "mate-screenshot -a". It worked fine until a day or so ago. I checked my custom shortcuts and it's still there. Any idea why it doesn't work now?
[02:25] <k2gremlin> but DNS is not resolving.. so even the basic apt-get update fails
[02:26] <daftykins> k2gremlin: remove the package 'resolvconf', reboot and log back in... put "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" or whichever is your favourite in /etc/resolv.conf then run apt-get update
[02:26] <k2gremlin> how do you remove that package?
[02:26] <k2gremlin> daftykins, still kind of new to CLI only lol
[02:26] <daftykins> k2gremlin: sudo apt-get purge resolvconf
[02:26] <atlas-hive> hello all =)
[02:26] <k2gremlin> unable to locate package..
[02:28] <usr13> k2gremlin: Just edit /etc/resolv.conf and change nameserver to <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:28] <k2gremlin> daftykins, Ok its working now. Will these changes stick through reboots and shutdowns?
[02:29] <daftykins> k2gremlin: yep without resolvconf on it won't fight the file, as long as you rebooted between removal and edit
[02:29] <daftykins> k2gremlin: give it another reboot to test for sure though
[02:29] <k2gremlin> daftykins, Ok im testing after reboot now lol
[02:29] <k2gremlin> daftykins, No failed to fetch again lol
[02:30] <daftykins> k2gremlin: hrmm are you sure you followed my advice? you can also declare nameservers in the interfaces file
[02:30] <daftykins> i must sleep now though, so good luck
[02:30] <k2gremlin> ok
[02:30] <k2gremlin> nameser <IP_ADDRESS> right below gateway?
[02:31] <daftykins> i don't know the name in interfaces off-hand unfortunately
[02:31] <k2gremlin> this? dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:31] <k2gremlin> for example?
[02:32] <avoider> <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:32] <avoider> isnt it
[02:32] <k2gremlin> well yea any dns will work :)
[02:33] <k2gremlin> yay it worked :P
[02:33] <k2gremlin> thanks all
[02:33] <avoider> <IP_ADDRESS>?
[02:33] <k2gremlin> <IP_ADDRESS> lol
[02:33] <avoider> k
[02:33] <avoider> well
[02:33] <avoider> thats google
[02:34] <k2gremlin> Yep. I use it on my home systems as well
[02:34] <k2gremlin> reliable
[02:34] <avoider> yeah i know
[02:34] <avoider> i was just informing you .
[02:34] <avoider> it was google
[02:34] <avoider> lol
[02:34] <avoider> incase you didnt know

[02:36] <avoider> will always be up
[02:36] <WillW__> Hi folks, I'm trying to get a monitor working with Ubuntu and an NVIDIA card, but the monitor does not report supported resolutions, so I'm trying to set custom ones(that I know to work on this monitor). So far, I've set nvidia-331 under additional drivers, successfully created resolutions with xrandr --newmode, but on xrandr --addmode, I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/4mVNd0EA
[02:37] <avoider> !nvidia
[02:37] <avoider> willw__  look that that link
[02:37] <avoider> And let me know if you still need help
[02:38] <WillW__> avoider thanks, I shall
[02:38] <avoider> Ubuntu ushally pretty good with detecting hardware
[02:38] <avoider> on install
[02:38] <orlock> WillW__: so broken DDC autodetect?
[02:38] <avoider> I run after market nvidia gpu and didnt need to install anything.
[02:39] <WillW__> oh no, this is a monitor with a bypass board. Nothing wrong with ubuntu
[02:39] <orlock> avoider: he's not having problems with his nvidia card, its his screen
[02:39] <avoider> orlock: yeah i read wrong
[02:39] <avoider> my mistakes
[02:39] <orlock> WillW__: so conencting via RGB?
[02:39] <WillW__> for reference, the monitor is a catleap q270
[02:39] <WillW__> DVI-D dual link
[02:39] <ralph4100> hey guys - if you were around earlier, I got past the efi issue and ubuntu is installed and I get into efi grub and it starts to boot. however then I end up in busybox.
[02:40] <orlock> WillW__: i used to mod old unix workstation displays so i could drive them via a PC card, had to solder on BNC connectors and resistors, fun
[02:40] <ralph4100> my question is - I am in live cd and I have mounted my installed ubuntu - I have read that I likely need new nvidia drivers ... can I install them from within the live cd?
[02:40] <WillW__> orlock, I hope I don't have to do any of that....
[02:40] <ralph4100> or - do I need to do it from busybox console
[02:41] <orlock> WillW__: Nah, this was like, 10 years ago :)
[02:41] <orlock> WillW__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2038997
[02:43] <ralph4100> WillW: this is what I was looking at - http://askubuntu.com/questions/272570/unable-to-install-ubuntu-on-lenovo-y500
[02:43] <ralph4100> fyi
[02:43] <WillW__> orlock, is that post up-to-date?  On my last ubuntu install trying to use this monitor, modifying X11 did not work, because as I recall, nvidia drivers overwrite it or something like that
[02:43] <orlock> WillW__: oh - *shrug* then
[02:44] <cloudbud> I have created a sudo user in ubuntu but he is not able to write to the dire /var/www/*. how can i give me write priveleges to the user ?
[02:44] <ralph4100> ok but can I install drivers on the mounted install? or do I need to actually be running that install?
[02:44] <ralph4100> If I run the bash script on the mounted install - will that install it there?
[02:44] <orlock> WillW__: I'm only here because my goddamn xterms are locking up daily
[02:51] <OhneBrandon> I have Ubuntu 14.10. I mounted a .ISO with the "sudo mkdir /media/iso" and "sudo mount -o loop <path>.iso" commands. When I restarted my computer, every file and folder is read only. Does anyone know how to fix that?
[02:51] <squirtle_51> Any idea why my custom prtsc shortcut doesn't allow me to select an area and instead just takes the whole screen?
[02:51] <orlock> OhneBrandon: Its an ISO file
[02:51] <orlock> OhneBrandon: it is read only
[02:52] <squirtle_51> Never mind....I'm dumb and just answered my own question....
[02:52] <OhneBrandon> orlock, my entire / is read only after mounting the iso and restarting my computer. I probably should have wrote that better.
[02:52] <orlock> OhneBrandon: Oh.. Bugger.
[02:52] <orlock> thats very odd then
[02:53] <orlock> check your mounts? not mounted ro?
[02:53] <OhneBrandon> Yeah, that's the first time it happened to me too.
[02:53] <orlock> i've seen that happen due to disk issues i think
[02:53] <orlock> but it normally bounces you to the file system check
[02:53] <OhneBrandon> It lets me log in and do everything that doesn't require writing to the disk.
[02:55] <jasonnicholson> hello
[02:56] <jasonnicholson> I have a question
[02:57] <PlasticPi> I have an answer. Let's see if they match.
[02:57] <jasonnicholson> :)
[02:57] <jasonnicholson> I am having trouble connecting to local webpages
[02:57] <jasonnicholson> for instance http://jhnlt001/cgi-bin/dwww/usr/share/doc/debian/constitution.txt.gz?type=text/plain
[02:58] <jasonnicholson> I am getting "Not Found" errors in the web browser
[02:58] <appleguru> are there any good solutions for managing FTP + SFTP user logins to a ubuntu server?
[02:59] <appleguru> I'm looking for a way to easily create and manage logins, passwords, and accessible directories
[02:59] <appleguru> that applies to both traditional FTP users as well as SSH/SFTP users
[02:59] <appleguru> (same credentials for both)
[02:59] <jasonnicholson> How do I troubleshoot these "Not Found" errors?
[03:00] <jiron> jasonnicholson: what web server are you running?
[03:00] <jasonnicholson> apache 2.4.7
[03:00] <sloantothebone> My battery icon is frozen, it is my fault, and worst of all it is a problem that no one has ever had. :(
[03:00] <appleguru> jasonnicholson: tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
[03:00] <PlasticPi> jasonnicholson: is jhnlt001 something in your /etc/hosts file?
[03:01] <jiron> jasonnicholson: anything in logs?
[03:02] <jasonnicholson> Last entry was on Sunday
[03:03] <jiron> I guess I'd start with the root - see if you can get a file there
[03:04] <jiron> sorry, by 'root' I mean the root of the web server
[03:09] <atlas-hive> does anyone knkow some really good irssi themes?
[03:09] <atlas-hive> maybe a little off topic
[03:10] <jasonnicholson> Sorry for the delay
[03:11] <jasonnicholson> There is no helpful information currectly in the /var/log/apache2/error.log
[03:11] <jasonnicholson> I am unable to access local websites but the nothing is written to the erro log
[03:11] <jasonnicholson> error.log
[03:12] <appleguru> what about the access log, anything in there?
[03:12] <rslarson> Hey guys dumb question (I know you can beat me later)
[03:12] <appleguru>  /var/log/apache2/access.log
[03:13] <jasonnicholson> I will check appleguru
[03:13] <rslarson> I need to boot into single user mode on a UEFI system and I cannot stop the GRUB boot process to append 'single'
[03:13] <rslarson> what am I doing wrong?
[03:14] <rslarson> backstory: used wrong 'g' in usermod now I cant sudo
[03:14] <jasonnicholson> Yes appleguru
[03:14] <jasonnicholson> The access log is showing "GET" requests
[03:15] <Bashing-om> rslarson: A couple of ways, From the grub boot menu -> advanced options, recovery -> enable networking -> resume normal boot , OR from that grub boot menu add the boot parameter to the kernel boot line.
[03:17] <cloudbud> Hi  I am new to linux, when I typed "vi FILE1" I was able to open VI editor. I added some data and I want to save the file and I tried :w but it threw me an error.   "file1" E212: Can't open file for writing Press ENTER or type command to continue  why I am not able to save it?   I read it some where that I need permissions for that. While installing ubantu... I created and User and password with which I login.  Wont that user have
[03:17] <cloudbud>  do to go further?
[03:18] <appleguru> cloudbud: where are you trying to save the file?
[03:18] <appleguru> if in your home directory or somewhere else your user has write privy for, you should be able to save it no problem
[03:18] <cloudbud> appleguru : i am writing some data. i have granted sudo access to user
[03:19] <cloudbud> im writing to /var/www/*
[03:19] <appleguru> run "sudo vi FILE1"
[03:19] <cloudbud> appleguru : how to resolve this
[03:19] <cloudbud> appleguru  : it ask for password always
[03:19] <appleguru> correct
[03:19] <appleguru> enter your user password
[03:20] <cloudbud> appleguru : but is it required ? cant i grant him write access to the file
[03:21] <appleguru> cloudbud: you can...
[03:21] <cloudbud> appleguru : how
[03:22] <appleguru> you could "sudo chmod 777 FILE1"
[03:22] <appleguru> which would give everyone read/write/execute privileges for that file
[03:22] <appleguru> that isn't the recommended approach though
[03:22] <cloudbud> appleguru : what is the best approach
[03:23] <appleguru> I would create a new group
[03:23] <appleguru> and add www-data and the users you want to write the web files to that group
[03:23] <jasonnicholson> I figured my problem
[03:24] <jasonnicholson> cgi was not enabled
[03:24] <appleguru> than chown /var/www to that group
[03:24] <jasonnicholson> sudo a2enmod cgi
[03:24] <jasonnicholson> sudo service apache2 restart
[03:24] <jasonnicholson> now it works
[03:24] <jasonnicholson> thanks for the help with logs
[03:24] <cloudbud> appleguru : can u tell me the exact commands
[03:27] <appleguru> cloudbud: what is the name of the user you want to have access?
[03:28] <XeBlackWater> can I install ubuntu on my tablet?
[03:28] <somsip> !touch | XeBlackWater
[03:29] <XeBlackWater> ok, thank you
[03:31] <sp00n3rm4n> How does one restart an xfce-session without rebooting?
[03:31] <sp00n3rm4n> I'm getting a display error.
[03:31] <sp00n3rm4n> Not error, really, but my res has plummeted.
[03:32] <sp00n3rm4n> So I want to reload my graphical shell.
[03:33] <waressearcher2> I rebooted PC and now I can't mount nfs partition, it says: "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting", its strange I rebooted so much time before but now it doesn't mount
[03:34] <appleguru> cloudbud: sudo adduser MyUser www-data
[03:34] <appleguru> sudo chgrp -R www-data /var/www/*
[03:34] <appleguru> logout, log back in
[03:34] <appleguru> should be good to go
[03:35] <somsip> cloudbud: also, sudo chmod g+s /var/www (which will ensure any new files have group access)
[03:35] <cloudbud> okay let me check
[03:35] <gry> try file:///usr/share/doc/debian/constitution.txt.gz ?
[03:35] <gry> echan
[03:36] <somsip> cloudbud: sorry, chmod -R g+s /var/www
[03:37] <chuanyu2015> 没人
[03:37] <somsip> !zh | chuanyu2015
[03:37] <chuanyu2015> join #ubuntu-cn
[03:37] <appleguru> so.. no good solutions for managing FTP + SFTP user logins to a ubuntu server?
[03:37] <chuanyu2015> haha
[03:38] <atlas-hive> what does chmod -R g+s do/
[03:38] <somsip> atlas-hive: makes any new file/dir have the same group settings as the parent
[03:38] <somsip> /s/settings/permissions
[03:39] <atlas-hive> ah gotcha thanks =)
[03:39] <atlas-hive> i havent really worked with chmod all that much
[03:39] <somsip> !permissions | atlas-hive
[03:43] <waressearcher2> there is that distro called "sabayon" so that fall they discontinued their 32bit released in favor of only 64bit ones they say 32bit architecture is obsolete now, what about ubuntu, for how many years there will be 32bit releases ?

[04:06] <majed> Hi, when I do "sudo update-manager" I get "Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/lib/python3.4/encodings/__init__.py", line 31, in <module> ImportError: No module named 'codecs'"
[04:07] <schultza> is ubuntu still limiting our control over where the minimize,maximize,close buttons are in 14.10?
[04:10] <majed> Hi, when I do "sudo update-manager" I get "Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/lib/python3.4/encodings/__init__.py", line 31, in <module> ImportError: No module named 'codecs'"
[04:12] <majed> do you think if I reinstalled python that will fix it ?
[04:15] <majed> I guess they are sleeping LoL .Wrong timing . I'll try to come later .I'm serious I appreciate the IRC nation <3
[04:15] <schultza> did you edit __init__.py
[04:15] <majed> no
[04:15] <schultza> im still looking
[04:16] <schultza> On *nix, also make sure that PYTHONPATH is configured correctly, esp that it has the format:  .:/usr/local/lib/python
[04:16] <majed> schultza: thanks a lot brother
[04:17] <majed> schultza: how to do that ?
[04:17] <schultza> first, find out what PYTHONPATH is set to by going to the terminal and typing in "sudo set"
[04:18] <schultza> I need another IRC client, this multiline editor drives me nuts.
[04:19] <majed> I get "sudo: set: command not found"
[04:19] <schultza> um... hang on
[04:21] <schultza> sudo -i
[04:21] <schultza> then "set"
[04:21] <schultza> or rather... "set | grep PYTHONPATH"
[04:21] <zykotick9> schultza: that'll be for the root account.  wouldn't just "set" work?
[04:21] <schultza> he's running the command "sudo update-manager" and thats where hes getting the error...
[04:22] <schultza> so, i mean "sudo -i"
[04:22] <schultza> then "set | grep PYTHONPATH"
[04:23] <zykotick9> schultza: i get no result from that.  do you?
[04:23] <r0t0r> everything i try to install with apt-get this is the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/9225868/
[04:23] <majed> I get no result from that too
[04:24] <zykotick9> r0t0r: mixing release/distros perhaps?
[04:25] <ralph4100> just installed ... I can pick ubuntu in the grub menu, then I end up in busybox/initramfs. here is my error message http://i.imgur.com/9BUmShb.jpg

[04:25] <ralph4100> efi
[04:25] <ralph4100> can anyone help? thanks!
[04:26] <schultza> majed: what is in your /etc/apt/sources.list ? or anything in the /etc/apt/sources.d/ ?
[04:27] <majed> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9225934/
[04:28] <schultza> majed: anything in the /etc/apt/sources.d/ ?
[04:29] <majed> no
[04:29] <majed> schultza:no
[04:30] <schultza> majed: try a "sudo apt-get install --reinstall dpkg apt update-manager"
[04:30] <solsTiCe> ralph4100: it seems the partition 4db9f458-5d53-4223-B4f3-ade4aa2dc715 has disappeared ?
[04:31] <Ranieri_> !Git | Ranieri_
[04:31] <ralph4100> solsTiCe: ok ... I am now in live cd mode and just mounted it
[04:31] <ralph4100> so - it's there
[04:32] <majed> schultza:http://paste.ubuntu.com/9225999/
[04:32] <solsTiCe> chroot into it and run update-initramfs -u as root
[04:32] <solsTiCe> ralph4100: ^
[04:32] <schultza> majed: try a "sudo apt-get install --reinstall dpkg apt update-manager python"
[04:32] <ralph4100> solsTiCe: I actually did try that already ... and also update-grub ... what happened was, now grub doesn't recognize my windows boot option
[04:32] <ralph4100> but it still didn't boot ubuntu
[04:33] <ralph4100> solsTiCe: question - can I install new nvidia drivers in the real install by chrooting into it?
[04:33] <ralph4100> I read in some forum answers that other people had problem on that front
[04:33] <solsTiCe> yes but that's not the problem right now
[04:33] <ralph4100> ok
[04:34] <ralph4100> solsTiCe: should I try manually setting my partition in the grub console before loading?
[04:34] <majed> schultza:I get "E: Internal Error, No file name for dpkg:amd64"
[04:34] <ralph4100> I forget what the command is but
[04:34] <ralph4100> I know my partition is /dev/sdb10
[04:35] <solsTiCe> you can try
[04:35] <ralph4100> ok ... what are some of the causes for this kind of thing?
[04:36] <schultza> majed: "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[04:36] <priyam_> jkl
[04:36] <solsTiCe> ralph4100: no idea. I just found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2229307
[04:36] <majed> schultza:http://paste.ubuntu.com/9226051/
[04:37] <schultza> majed: "sudo apt-get install --reinstall python"
[04:38] <ralph4100> solsTiCe: now that my grub is not getting my windows boot ... how would I - if I wanted to - remove grub?
[04:38] <ralph4100> to start over?
[04:38] <ralph4100> I'm thinking that perhaps in one of my many hard restarts things have gotten corrupted or something
[04:38] <majed> schultza:http://paste.ubuntu.com/9226085/
[04:38] <solsTiCe> your uefi has a key F10 ? F12 to display the uefi boot manager option and there you can choose to boot windows
[04:39] <solsTiCe> ralph4100: ^
[04:39] <ralph4100> right - I know I can always boot windows that way, although I would prefer that I be able to do it
[04:39] <ralph4100> without that
[04:39] <schultza> majed: sudo apt-get update
[04:40] <priyam_> hi avnish
[04:40] <solsTiCe> ralph4100: why remove grub ?
[04:40] <ralph4100> to try again w/ clean install
[04:40] <ralph4100> or - maybe I can get grub back to where it was?
[04:41] <solsTiCe> clean install of ubuntu ? it will overwrite grub
[04:41] <ralph4100> ah - ok
[04:41] <ralph4100> then I might try that
[04:41] <solsTiCe> ralph4100: better try to fix it first
[04:41] <avnish63> hello priyam_
[04:41] <ralph4100> solsTiCe: ok ... what are my options for fixing it though?
[04:41] <ralph4100> haha
[04:42] <solsTiCe> ralph4100: could pastebin the output of blkid

[04:43] <Skipper17> when did ubuntu become so bloated?? in 12.04 it was less than 700 MB, 14.10 is twice that, and installed it takes almost 6 GB
[04:44] <zykotick9> Skipper17: if you have the knowledge, using the mini (aka netinst) install you can manually de-bloat it...
[04:47] <solsTiCe> ralph4100: did you try to run a fsck on sda10 ?
[04:47] <ralph4100> solsTiCe: no - what is that
[04:47] <solsTiCe> filesystem check.
[04:47] <Skipper17> zykotick9 i am sure, like back in the days with suse and yast lol
[04:47] <ralph4100> ok - reading a page about it now ... looks like I should unmount it first
[04:48]  * zykotick9 never used suse or yast, so would know ;)
[04:48] <zykotick9> s/would/wouldn't/
[04:48] <Skipper17> but going all default it's like ubuntu exploded in size
[04:49] <zykotick9> Skipper17: some, would consider it progress ;)
[04:49] <Skipper17> that's kind of what amazed me about ubuntu, that it was sort of fully fletched but fit on a cd rom
[04:50] <ralph4100> solsTiCe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9226141/

[04:51] <Skipper17> zykotick9 hehe yes
[04:52] <solsTiCe> ralph4100: well id on't know why it don't find your partition. did you change anything in the uefi/bios config ?
[04:53] <ralph4100> solsTiCe: I think after it initially didn't work, I changed from efi-first to legacy-first temporarily to see if that would help
[04:54] <solsTiCe> ah change it back to efi-first. if it is installed for efi it won't in legacy mode i guess
[04:55] <ralph4100> ok ... I'm pretty sure I did change it back but I will double check
[04:55] <ralph4100> thanks for all your help
[04:55] <ralph4100> I actually can't remember for sure what it's set on right now
[04:55] <ralph4100> so I'll try that
[04:57] <Skipper17> orlock 100 mb pfffft, i used to run win 3.11 from my 20 mb hdd comodore laptop, i know bloatware when i see it
[04:57] <orlock> yeah, but thats win3.11
[05:15] <lickalott> gents, just ssh'd into my ubuntu rig and it's not letting me do ANYTHING mostly due to "read-only" file system.
[05:16] <lickalott> I've also gotten a bus error on "su -"
[05:16] <zerolegend_> what error?
[05:16] <zerolegend_> and your fs should be mounted read/write to make any changes to anything
[05:16] <lickalott> thats all it says.  "bus error"
[05:16] <EriC^^> lickalott: mount
[05:16] <lickalott> it's been fine. this just happened today
[05:16] <EriC^^> what does it say about the mounted filesystems
[05:17] <lickalott> EriC^^, mount: warning: /etc/mtab is not writable (e.g. read-only filesystem).
[05:17] <lickalott>        It's possible that information reported by mount(8) is not
[05:17] <lickalott>        up to date. For actual information about system mount points
[05:17] <lickalott>        check the /proc/mounts file.
[05:17] <lickalott> i was just about to go connect a monitor to it and force a reboot, but wanted to see if you guys had anything first.
[05:18] <EriC^^> lickalott: check /proc/mounts , paste in paste.ubuntu.com
[05:18] <Ranieri_> is k1l here?
[05:18] <EriC^^> lickalott: maybe it booted into recovery mode or something? or the hdd remained in read only after fsck found something?
[05:19] <lickalott> EriC^^, /bin/more: Input/output error.
[05:19] <lickalott> I did a more /proc/mounts
[05:19] <lickalott> you think I should just go and be face to face with it?
[05:19] <lickalott> i can't sudo or su
[05:20] <EriC^^> yeah i guess so
[05:20] <bonobomapper1> Sorry for asking this here…

[05:20] <zerolegend_> i would use deviantart bonobomapper1
[05:21] <bonobomapper1> thanks! ^^
[05:21] <lickalott> alright.  if i part you'll know I hard booted it....lol  if i don't return, well....I'm probably on my way to get my hammer.
[05:21] <zerolegend_> or maybe gnome-look bonobomapper1
[05:21] <bonobomapper1> also, there is a easy to use tool for packaging icon themes for ubuntu/elementary and alike?
[05:22] <EriC^^> lickalott: hehe :)
[05:22] <ralph4100> hey - is solaris or whatever still here?
[05:23] <ralph4100> sorry - can't remember exact username
[05:23] <EriC^^> solsTiCe: ?
[05:23] <ralph4100> was able to boot for first time by using grub console to manually set partition/vmlinuz/initrd
[05:23] <EriC^^> ralph4100: you can type the first few letters then press <tab> to get a completion
[05:23] <ralph4100> yes solsTiCe
[05:23] <ralph4100> ah, good to know
[05:23] <edwin> hola ke tal
[05:24] <Guest73928> Oo
[05:24] <ralph4100> well - anyway I'm guessing I should run the thing to fix boot problems now?
[05:28] <avnish63> hello
[05:28] <phirez> hi
[05:31] <lickalott> EriC^^, good to go.  must've got into some odd state.
[05:31] <lickalott> thanks man!
[05:31] <liuos> exit
[05:32] <avnish63> hhhhkjhk
[05:32] <EriC^^> lickalott: great! np
[05:34] <avnish63> wdhxwiqdh21pqoshp21q
[05:35] <avnish63> hi
[05:37] <avnish63> Hi
[05:41] <avnish63> jo
[05:41] <schultza> Aloha.
[05:43] <jmadero> if I want to rsync but don't care at all about permissions - options -rvz are correct?
[05:44] <schultza> I don't know rsync that well, so I don't know.
[05:45] <schultza> -a, --archive               archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)
[05:45] <jmadero> -a includes permissions which I don't want to do
[05:45] <jmadero> the files don't (and I don't want them to) have the same permissions
[05:45] <jmadero> I'm syncing music over multiple systems
[05:48] <somsip> jmadero: fwiw, sync torrent or syncthing may be of interest to you (a bit off topic, I know)
[05:48] <k0nichiwa> what does a proxy server like tinyproxy do ?
[05:48] <k0nichiwa> say it runs on port 8888
[05:48] <schultza> jmadero: do you care about owner/group ownerships?
[05:48] <jmadero> schultza: I don't want to preserve ownership - on my wife's computer she is owner of the files, on my computer, I am
[05:49] <jmadero> that's why I think rvz is right, but I'm getting strange results
[05:49] <k0nichiwa> the client wants to http google.com, say, so how does that request get sent to the proxy server ?
[05:49] <k0nichiwa> how does the proxy server know you are trying to http get from google.com ?
[05:49] <schultza> what results?
[05:50] <jmadero> schultza: so I did a small test 3 times - every time I see >f..T......
[05:50] <jmadero> which implies it's sending the file over and over again
[05:50] <jmadero> after the first time it shouldn't say >f . . . . . .
[05:50] <jmadero> as the file already exists in the target
[05:51] <schultza> -p is progress
[05:51] <jmadero> schultza: yes I know
[05:51] <jmadero> that is completely irrelevant lol
[05:51] <schultza> oh. no.. thats ... --progress
[05:51] <jmadero> both are the same
[05:51] <jmadero> rsync has short and long form options
[05:51] <Skipper17> k0nichiwa the browser sends the request to the proxy instead to the actual website, the the proxy retrieves the website and sends it back to the browser
[05:52] <k0nichiwa> Skipper17, but how does the proxy know you wanted to get from google.com ?
[05:52] <schultza> jmadero: use --delete ?
[05:52] <jmadero> ...no
[05:52] <jmadero> that's dangerous
[05:52] <jmadero> I don't want to delete anything
[05:52] <k0nichiwa> sy i http://mysever.com:8888/google.com ?
[05:52] <Skipper17> the proxy know because the browser sends it to the proxy
[05:52] <k2gremlin_> Damn.. Spent last 2 days getting my ubuntu plex server setup perfectly... And bam new version drops lmfao
[05:53] <Skipper17> no
[05:53] <orlock> k0nichiwa: the browser behaves slightly differently when it knows it is using a proxy
[05:53] <k0nichiwa> the proxy server should just recieve the GET  which doesnt say what the target ip is
[05:53] <schultza> it's worked before for me, i dont know what it's doing now
[05:53] <orlock> k0nichiwa: or you can have transparent proxies the browser doesnt know about
[05:53] <k0nichiwa> orlock is there  a way i can just change what i type in my address bar to use the proxy ?
[05:53] <Kotoro[LAB]> what might cause pulse to not see system sound device or USB headset?
[05:54] <Skipper17> http://mysever.com:8888/google.com ? no, it's be more like browser options > network > proxy > IP:Port
[05:54] <orlock> k0nichiwa: Depends on the proxy server, but if you are trying to bypass some sort of filter, google translate can be used as a quick and nasty method
[05:54] <orlock> k0nichiwa: but what skipper said really
[05:54] <Kotoro[LAB]> its listing an HDMI output and digital output, but it doesn't see the normal audio out or the usb headset?
[05:55] <k0nichiwa> orlock, ive used google translator in that way
[05:55] <k0nichiwa> and bing and  yandex and maybe baidu
[05:56] <_Druid_> Hello, is possible to disable verbose mode (-v) if session is already started with ssh -v ?
[05:56] <k0nichiwa> im just trying to understand how ti works, say in case of transparent proxy
[05:57] <k0nichiwa> can you combine ssh tunneling with a a proxy like tinyproxy so that its transparent to the browser ?
[05:58] <Skipper17> transparent proxy > browser thinks it's talking to google ( for instance https://www.google.com/search?q=how+does+a+proxy+work ) but is actually talking to proxy ...
[06:01] <k0nichiwa> yes i was wondering if ssh tunneling could be set up along w/tinyproxy to accomplish that
[06:02] <k0nichiwa> oh well most browsers upport using a proxy so no matter i guess
[06:03] <k0nichiwa> by default does tinyproxy only accept connections from localhost ?
[06:04] <Skipper17> k0nichiwa can't say for sure, ssh tunneling can be used for lots of things but i'd put it more in the category of circumventing transparent proxy's
[06:05] <k0nichiwa> jus tlooke at the config, the default config fiel only allows localhost
[06:09] <Skipper17> k0nichiwa never seen that conf but it is supposed to be not local only
[06:09] <Skipper17> Listen By default, Tinyproxy listens for connections on all available interfaces (i.e. it listens on the wildcard address <IP_ADDRESS>). With this configuration parameter, Tinyproxy can be told to listen only on one specific address
[06:11] <Skipper17> change Listen <IP_ADDRESS> to Listen <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:27] <sgen_> Can anyone recommend any applications for capturing http request contents from chrome?
[06:27] <somsip> sgen_: chrome developer tab any good for you?
[06:28] <sgen_> somsip: It doesnt seem to save subsequent request traffic, I need to log headers and form data over a series of requests
[06:28] <somsip> sgen_: maybe a http proxy with full logging, if there is such a thing
[06:29] <k0nichiwa> on my server i can do for tinyproxy curl -proxy1.0 <IP_ADDRESS>:8888 google.com and it works
[06:29] <somsip> sgen_: but are you trying to listen in to an existing chrome session, or just make requests to a website and log them?
[06:29] <k0nichiwa> i did ssh -f<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-L 2001:server.com:8888 -N
[06:29] <sgen_> somsip: make requests to a website and log them
[06:30] <k0nichiwa> but curl -proxy1.0 <IP_ADDRESS>:2001 google.com isnt working on the client
[06:30] <k0nichiwa> however ive used ssh tunneling to connect to the wev server on the serer as if i were local and that did work so ssh tunneling does work
[06:32] <somsip> sgen_: something like curl then. Unless you're prepared to whip up a bit of code, then there are lots of libraries to do that sort of thing in, say, Python and PHP
[06:32] <The_DarkKnight> Is it possible to use Ubuntu on my Mac?
[06:32] <somsip> !mac | The_DarkKnight
[06:32] <sgen_> Ill try and whip one up in go
[06:33] <sgen_> thanks for hte help
[06:33] <somsip> sgen_: probably give you more control than just a load of curl statements in a bach script.  Nautilus is 3.10, Gnome Shell 3.12 and Empathy 3.8
[06:35] <alexis_> alguien habla español?
[06:36] <somsip> !es | alexis_
[06:38] <electricprism> i guess ubuntu has Gnome 3.8 - 3.12 apps in their repos because they suck
[06:39] <xangua> electricprism: ubuntu has to apply their own patches over gnome apps and sometimes ,or more if you ask me, don't make it in time
[06:39] <xangua> Or fork them like gnome settings
[06:47] <dannas> Does 14.10 support qt5.3.1? http://askubuntu.com/questions/553467/how-build-against-qt-5-3-1
[06:47] <somsip> !info qt
[06:49] <somsip> !info qttools5-dev
[06:49] <somsip> dannas: so, if that's a representative package, official packages are at 5.3.0. So you may need to look for a PPA
[06:51] <dannas> somsip: ok. Yes it looks like most of the qt5 components are using qt5.3.0. Do you happen to have any ideas why some packages has version 5.3.1? (see link to askubuntu.com question above)
[06:52] <somsip> dannas: no idea at all
[06:52] <dannas> somsip: ok. Thanks for your help. Looks like, as you say, that building from source or using a ppa is my options.
[06:55] <waressearcher2> I want to compile kernel, I unpacked linux source, now first step I should copy /boot/config to .config ? and then do "make mrproper" ? I mean those are two steps I should do before configuring it with "make menuconfig" ?
[06:56] <somsip> waressearcher2: if you can't figure those steps out, you may struggle with every other step of compiling your own kernel...
[06:56] <waressearcher2> somsip: do not demotivate me
[06:57] <somsip> waressearcher2: okaaaay. Give it a whirl. Have fun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[06:57] <waressearcher2> somsip: are you from Thailand ?
[06:57] <somsip> waressearcher2: off topic. I don't respond to questions like that. EOT for me
[07:00] <waressearcher2> somsip: are you getting paid to help people in that channel ?
[07:02] <Seveas> g'morning Flannel :)
[07:02] <Seveas> no love fore facebook hackers today?
[07:02] <Flannel> since when is that channel not +f :(
[07:02] <Flannel> or is it +F, whatever.
[07:04] <Flannel> I guess the remove had the desired effect, regardless.
[07:07] <Seveas> Flannel: it also stopped him from flooding, so I guess he was doing silly on-join things which are really silly in megachannels like #ubuntu
[07:08] <waressearcher2> hanthana: are you from Singapore ?
[07:08] <Flannel> Seveas: Hopefully now he's all sunshine and rainbows.
[07:08] <Seveas> and unicorns!
[07:09] <waressearcher2> and rarity
[07:10] <waressearcher2> somsip: you gave me wrong link, that one is right: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel
[07:14] <swift110-phone> Hey
[07:15] <k0nichiwa> cant get tinyproxy to work in combination with ssh tunnel
[07:15] <waressearcher2> swift110-phone: are all swift109 and down were taken ?
[07:15] <k0nichiwa> since ssh  tunnel is supposed to make tcp to local port magically same as tcp to the target port origintaing on the target machien
[07:15] <k0nichiwa> and given ive tested it is working on the target machine by doig a curl --proxy localhost:8888 google.com o the remote machine
[07:15] <k0nichiwa> i cant figure it out
[07:18] <k0nichiwa> the number of tiny proxy proceses grows and grows it seems to start another oevery 5 seonds or something
[07:18] <k0nichiwa> but i dont see a problem w/the config file
[07:26] <bhahn> Hey guys, my server closes the socket to a client. if the client sends a message on the socket within 60 seconds after going into close wait, my server will reply with a reset packet, but if the client sends message on the socket after 60 seconds of going into close wait, then my server won’t send any packet responses at all.  Can someone help me explain this behavior? I thought it was related to the fin_timeout, but it doesn’t seem to be related
[07:29] <Seveas> bhahn: fin_timeout only applies after closing a connection, you're running into the normal tcp timeout
[07:30] <bhahn> so my server’s tcp stack has a timeout (60 seconds) during which it will reply to messages on that socket with a reset, but after the timeout, it well reply with nothing?
[07:31] <bhahn> *it won’t reply at all?
[07:41] <gokr> This morning my trusty tahr rebooted itself on its own (I wasn't looking). Highly annoying.  Can you dig up syslog entries from around the reboot?
[07:46] <gokr> I just looked in syslog, nothing logged - it just abruptly has the boot sequence.
[07:46] <Seveas> vroomfondel: Forty-Two!
[07:47] <Seveas> gokr: could there have been a power outage?
[07:47] <gokr> Maching is a laptop, but it was plugged in as always and has never done anything like this before. Its almost always on. And no, no power outage.
[07:47] <gokr> Then our clocks would have been reset.
[07:47] <gokr> Machine.
[07:47] <Seveas> anything in /var/log/dpkg?
[07:47]  * gokr checking
[07:48] <trickyj> Hi is it possible to download a Ubuntu Server with specific kernel version ?
[07:48] <gokr> no, nothing there.
[07:48] <Seveas> trickyj: only if that specific kernel happens to be the one shipped with Ubuntu server :)
[07:49] <trickyj> Seveas: Thank you.
[07:49] <trickyj> Can we downgrade from new kernel version to specific kernel version ?
[07:49] <Seveas> not easily
[07:49] <Seveas> why do you want that?
[07:49] <Ben64> trickyj: why would you want to
[07:50] <trickyj> Seveas: My antivirus software supports only specific system requirement.
[07:51] <Seveas> time to choose a better antivirus :)
[07:51] <Ben64> indeed. if your antivirus requires you to use an older, buggier kernel, that is a bad sign for sure
[07:51] <Rand0m`> antivirus on #ubuntu  ?
[07:52] <Ben64> yeah, not very necessary
[07:52] <trickyj> tarun: Hi
[07:52] <Rand0m`> dont do thta lol
[07:52] <Rand0m`> s/thta/that
[07:52] <SnuskGubben> what about anti malware for ubuntu?
[07:52] <Rand0m`> you are safe enough using ubuntu
[07:53] <Ben64> basically, don't run unknown scripts/commands and don't install random debs/PPAs and  you should be fine
[07:53] <tarun> trickyj: can u please send me the link to download specified kernal version
[07:54] <trickyj> Ben64: Seveas Please help tarun to install a specific kernel version on hi ubuntu.
[07:55] <gokr> Seveas: I actually have a theory, the machine was on the floor, not in its regular place, and ... the cat might have slept on it. She does that sometimes.
[07:55] <Ben64> trickyj: we're telling you its a bad idea
[07:55] <trickyj> ok Ben64
[07:55] <gokr> Seveas: But... wouldn't that be logged somewhere, though? That the machine shuts down.
[07:56] <gokr> trickyj: What antivirus?
[07:58] <Silenced> How to add environment variables in ubuntu
[07:58] <Silenced> ?
[07:58] <trickyj> gokr: Installing Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1Ru5 On Ubuntu Server. Here is the list of supported kernel http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH223240
[07:58] <gokr> Silenced: For everyone, /etc/profile
[07:59] <gokr> Silenced: Otherwise .bashrc or perhaps .profile
[07:59] <gokr> Silenced: Ehm, in your home dir I mean.
[07:59] <Silenced> gokr : detailed explanation please... New to linux and ubuntu
[08:00] <Seveas> !info linux-generic trusty
[08:00] <gokr> Silenced: In your home directory (often referred to as "~") you have "dot files" (hidden files) and two control your shell. ".profile" and ".bashrc"
[08:00] <gokr> You can edit those with say "nano .bashrc"
[08:00] <Seveas> !info linux-generic saucy
[08:01] <Ben64> trickyj: according to that page you can use ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.2
[08:01] <Seveas> !info linux-generic precise
[08:01] <Seveas> yup, you'll be stuck with oldbuntu :)
[08:01] <gokr> Silenced: And add a line there like "export MYVAR=blabla"
[08:01] <Seveas> as 13:04 isn't supported
[08:02] <Silenced> gokr: Thanks dude. I get that now
[08:02] <gokr> Silenced: Then you need to reopen a terminal for it to take effect.
[08:03] <trickyj> Ben64: that's right but when i download the Ubuntu ISO from website it dosen't give me the 3.2 kernel version
[08:03] <Silenced> gokr: and what is the shortcut key to shutdown in ubuntu ?
[08:03] <trickyj> gokr: I will try it once again, let me check what are the results. I will update you guys if done. Thank you :)
[08:04] <gokr> Silenced: And you can check a var with say "echo $MYVAR". Shortcut... dunno. I usually just do "reboot" or "shutdown -r now"
[08:04] <gokr> Silenced: But you don't need to shutdown to get a new terminal.
[08:05] <Silenced> gokr: i am just asking to ahutdown my laptop
[08:05] <Bakerbart> Does CTRL ALT DEL work?
[08:05] <Silenced> gokr: i too use 'shutdown -r now'
[08:06] <gokr> Silenced: I very seldom reboot my laptop :)
[08:06] <gokr> So a shortcut seems... very unnecessary.
[08:06] <Silenced> Bakerbart: thats just to log off ... That wont turn off your device
[08:06] <gokr> Click on top right icon, select shutdown ? :)
[08:06] <gokr> Its not like you are going to do it every minute or?
[08:07] <Silenced> gokr: lol 😁
[08:07] <gokr> I have closing lid set to ... suspend.
[08:07] <mjayk> gokr: me too
[08:07] <mjayk> when its off battry anyway
[08:07] <gokr> That works fine for me, although I know ACPI generally sucks.
[08:07] <Silenced> gokr: me too
[08:08] <gokr> My Lenovo X220 is by far the best Linux laptop I have ever had, bar none.
[08:08] <Bakerbart> I always press the power button, that brings me a shutdown dialog box
[08:08] <Silenced> gokr: whats acpi ?
[08:08] <Bakerbart> Maybe that works for you
[08:08] <gokr> The power API stuff.
[08:08] <gokr> IIRC Linus said he wanted to castrate the people who invented it.
[08:09] <gokr> So it took many years before it started to actually work properly in Linux, at least that's my experience.
[08:09] <scts> Hi, on ubuntu 14.04 with a second monitor the windows on the second monitor disappears from view after a sleep cycle. Is there a "Gather Windows" feature?
[08:09] <gokr> (suspend, hibernate etc etc)
[08:10] <trickyj> tarun: I will try it at my end I will check if I can get you the right version of Ubuntu.
[08:10] <Silenced> gokr: using ubuntu for how many years ?
[08:11] <sricharanized> I have a problem with my ubuntu 14.04. I dual booted it with windows 8.1 on a lenovo laptop. The brightness autoamtically increases to maximum at every startup.
[08:11] <sricharanized> What to do
[08:11] <gokr> Silenced: ehm... dunno... quite a few :)
[08:11] <Bakerbart> well, acpi doesnt really work on my laptop when running linux. Sometimes it jumps from 55 degrees celsius to 75, really odd
[08:11] <gokr> Silenced: I am a developer and have been running Linux on desktop since 2002 or something.
[08:11] <Silenced> sricharanized : samr problem here
[08:12] <mjayk> sricharanized: you can do that with xbacklight
[08:12] <Silenced> Same**
[08:12] <sricharanized> mjayk: xbacklight??
[08:12] <Silenced> mjayk: what is xbacklight ?
[08:13] <gokr> Silenced: At the moment I prefer Ubuntu on both my development machines and our cloud servers.
[08:13] <mjayk> its a program you can use to configure your backlight settings like bind keys etc it /sys/class/backlight
[08:13] <Silenced> gokr: how about archlinux ? Is it good ?
[08:13] <mjayk> sricharanized: check here http://askubuntu.com/questions/66751/how-do-i-set-default-display-brightness
[08:13] <sricharanized> mjayk: OK
[08:14] <mjayk> sricharanized: check the 2nd answer
[08:14] <gokr> Silenced: I think so, haven't used it and... I don't have time to mess with multiple distros at the moment. Since I actually work on this platform.
[08:15] <Silenced> gokr: okay :)
[08:15] <gokr> Silenced: There are lots of "good" distros. I played "distro hopping" for a few years, it was fun, but its a time sink.
[08:15] <mjayk> gokr: time sink its putting it lightly xD
[08:15] <karab44> hello!
[08:15] <mjayk> hello karab44
[08:15] <karab44> guys I am struggling a problem
[08:15] <gokr> mjayk: Indeed. Especially if you to the deep end with source distros :)
[08:15] <mjayk> whats the problem karab44
[08:16] <karab44> with 14.04 from time to time ubuntu doesn't detect my secondary ssd
[08:16] <mjayk> gokr: i cant get over how stable fast and compatable this ubuntu 14.04 is im itching to break it
[08:16] <karab44> it isn't visible in df -h and sudo fdisk -l
[08:16] <sricharanized> mjayk: Done. Thanks. I just had to change "echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
[08:16] <mjayk> karab44: how is your ssd configured is it just plugged into a sata port ?
[08:16] <gokr> mjayk: You feel its much better than 12.04?
[08:17] <karab44> mjayk: yes it is just plugged into it.
[08:17] <karab44> I have it encrypted
[08:17] <gokr> mjayk: Cause I can't say I feel much difference, although I am not pushing it perhaps.
[08:17] <mjayk> gokr: personally yes although that just might be me enjoying the stability and the ability to get actual work done when 12.04 was out i didnt have much else to do but mess
[08:18] <mjayk> karab44: does it show under lsblk ?
[08:18] <gokr> mjayk: But I agree, ever since I "got over" Unity and just accepted it - its been smooth sailing generally.
[08:18] <karab44> mjayk: actually it doesn't show there
[08:18] <gokr> mjayk: Did play with ideas of other UIs but then... ah, what the heck, this is what is going to be standard so just biting the bullet.
[08:19] <mjayk> gokr: im on gnome atm
[08:19] <owen1> when should i ask a question on ubuntuforums vs askubuntu
[08:19] <gokr> mjayk: I generally don't use the "UI" much, just tons of terminal windows :)
[08:19] <RedPenguin> hey all, I'm having a strange issue, twice now on a brand new Ubuntu install, the hard drive light is solid, no remote access, no keyboard response, yet it pings, anything to check?
[08:19] <mjayk> karab44: does it show in the bios at all ?
[08:20] <mjayk> gokr: i found that when i use two monitors for presentations etc i prefer the way gnome works, purley personal preference
[08:20] <karab44> mjayk: I don't know. I can't define it. I can't be in bios and in the system at the same time.
[08:21] <karab44> just like I said. Once it works once it doesn't
[08:21] <mjayk> karab44: thats correct however its something you need to check as to determine if its a configuration problem or a dead drive
[08:21] <karab44> Probably when I reboot my PC it will start work
[08:21] <karab44> mjayk: dead drive? It's brand new ssd
[08:21] <gokr> mjayk: Presentations... yeah... well, I am not sure, what's the difference? The last year I haven't done much presentations.
[08:21] <gokr> mjayk: Did a lot earlier, but right now I am busy coding :)
[08:22] <karab44> mjayk: so what should I check?
[08:22] <mjayk> karab44: if it displays in bios i would
[08:22] <mjayk> gokr: the second display doesnt change when you change virtual desktops by default in gnome its just a few little things that i like. Do enjoy unity aswell though
[08:23] <gokr> mjayk: A developer too?
[08:23] <karab44> mjayk: but does it have any sense when I restart my PC and it will appear in BIOS? Like I just said it works in most of the time. I've booted it today and I don't see it, For 99 percent after simply restarting my PC disk will appear.
[08:24] <mjayk> gokr: I do some maily for my own use in scientific programs
[08:24] <mjayk> karab44: sounds like a hardware problem if its intermitent (?) checked the connection is tight ?
[08:25] <gokr> karab44: Nothing to be seen in dmesg?
[08:25] <karab44> mjayk: Nobody is moving 20kg PC around the room
[08:26] <karab44> gokr: what info should I look for?
[08:26] <karab44> errors?
[08:27] <mjayk> karab44: you dont have to be moving it around a room for a wobbly connection to come loose
[08:27] <owen1> how can i detect that the 'Home' key was released?
[08:27] <gokr> Well, stuff it says about it. I see stuff about my Samsung SSD in dmesg.
[08:27] <somsip> owen1: what was the outcome of looking into xev?
[08:28] <gokr> karab44: dmesg | grep SSD
[08:28] <gokr> karab44: Is it an intel? I hate Intel SSDs.
[08:28] <karab44> gokr dmesg | grep ata  shows no secondary drive
[08:29] <karab44> gokr: it's sandisk ultra II 960GB
[08:29] <owen1> somsip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9222819/
[08:29] <gokr> karab44: Good :)
[08:29] <owen1> somsip: not sure what to do with that info (;
[08:29] <gokr> karab44: So its not even mentioned in dmesg?
[08:29] <karab44> it's not there
[08:30] <karab44> but let me reboot and it will be there I believe
[08:30] <karab44> I think it can be BIOS issue
[08:30] <somsip> owen1: it tells you the keycode. That's what you said you wanted yesterday. What environment are you needing to detect this in?
[08:30] <gokr> karab44: You might want to save dmesg somewhere and compare them
[08:31] <karab44> But I have other issues as well. In example when I don't use PC for a day or two, after that break my PC boots to video-fail-safe mode.
[08:31] <karab44> after restarting it - it goes back to normal
[08:32] <somsip> karab44: so you have two hardware issues - one for SSD and one for video card? Could it be a dying mobo?
[08:32] <owen1> somsip: in a bash script
[08:32] <owen1> somsip: i think i can use xinput but not sure how
[08:32] <karab44> and I can restart or turn it off and on whole day long and it's not reproducing more again untill the another two day break.
[08:32] <karab44> somsip: I don;t think so...
[08:33] <owen1> somsip: i saw someone that doing this: while xinput query-state <device name> | grep -Flq 'key[9]=up'   but not sure what should i put instead of key 9
[08:33] <karab44> it's more driver's or kernel issue
[08:33] <somsip> owen1: and that's why I told you to use xev yesterday - it tells you the keycode for home
[08:34] <owen1> somsip: right, but i don't see a keycode here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9222819/
[08:34] <somsip> karab44: I think that's a bad assumption to make, but it's your call
[08:34] <mjayk> if the problem is not consistnet its unlikley to be a kernel problem karab44 more likley hardware
[08:35] <karab44> you suggest me X99 on old 3.13 kernel works flawlessy perfect?
[08:35] <somsip> owen1: that output doesn't seem to show you pressing a key. The code is 110 when I use xev FWIW
[08:35] <karab44> I have no similiar issues on windows 8, explain that.
[08:36] <mjayk> karab44: not sure; might be useful next time to include all the info at the start
[08:36] <somsip> karab44: ah - adding information that relates to the problem. Always helpful.
[08:36] <owen1> somsip: so let's assume for a minute that 110 is the keycode for home. how do i detect release of that key within bash?
[08:37] <karab44> just ask, because I don't have much experience in similiar investigations.
[08:37] <owen1> somsip: i assume it's a while loop with grep. but not sure about the exact syntax
[08:38] <karab44> let me reboot the os
[08:38] <mjayk> karab44: generally for future reference include all info regarding the problem at the start then we dont waste time. So it works in windows all the time
[08:38] <somsip> owen1: if you do not get a 'key not being pressed' event, you probably need to set a flag when it is pressed then poll until that event ends. If you get my drift
[08:38] <RedPenguin> well figured out my issue, for no appearnt reason Firefox & Plugin-Container randomly use up all the memory until the PC decides to freeze
[08:38] <karab44> mjayk: so far yes but I spend 99percent of my time on ubuntu.
[08:39] <karab44> the second thing is that even on ubuntu it's just 1 on 10 cases that something fails so it's hard to say anything.
[08:39] <mjayk> so it could be that because the problem is intermitent you dont notice it not working in windows because you dont use it alot
[08:39] <mjayk> can you pastebin your dmesg
[08:39] <karab44> mjayk: yes, so far yes.
[08:40] <mjayk> might be something in there
[08:40] <themusicgod1> easy question: what is the "Web Content" process?
[08:40] <owen1> somsip: do u know the correct syntax for that loop? while xinput query-state <device name> | grep -Flq 'key[110]=up'   i don't know if key is even the correct name.
[08:40] <karab44> mjayk: I haven't find any errors but I can't see the drive as well...
[08:40] <somsip> owen1: no I don't
[08:40] <owen1> ok. np
[08:40] <owen1> thanks1
[08:41] <karab44> mjayk: http://www.pasteall.org/55343
[08:44] <somsip> owen1: looks like xinput list will help you with the device name. Try these: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/xinput.1.html http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/129159/record-every-keystroke-and-store-in-a-file
[08:45] <mjayk> karab44: and you only have sda and sdb where sdb is the one that doesnt work
[08:45] <karab44> mjayk: true is that
[08:45] <owen1> somsip: reading. thanks!
[08:45] <mjayk> so it sees a removable drive there
[08:45] <karab44> if sda didn't work I wouldn't be here ;)
[08:46] <mjayk> id hope you could find a way here if it didnt
[08:46] <mjayk> and i was making sure sdb wasnt a usb drive you plugged in
[08:46] <karab44> yeah, there are other ways to do that
[08:47] <karab44> mjayk: sdb is SSD sandisk ultra II 960G
[08:47] <karab44> it's sata III 6GBs interface
[08:47] <karab44> of course it has hotplug but I don't use it
[08:49] <karab44> I Found something     6.037224] lpc_ich: Resource conflict(s) found affecting gpio_ich
[08:50] <karab44> oh it's probably nothing...
[08:54] <karab44> [ 7067.973799] pool[15297]: segfault at 10 ip 00007ffac2bd68d0 sp 00007ffa757e6b30 error 6 in libfreetype.so.6.11.1[7ffac2b80000+9d000]
[08:54] <karab44> this could be potentially exploited
[08:55] <karab44> but still nothing about disks...
[08:55] <ikonia> ?
[08:55] <ikonia> what are you talking about
[08:55] <karab44> about segfault I found in dmesg
[08:55] <ikonia> ....and ?
[08:56] <karab44> are you a programer ikonia?
[08:56] <ikonia> depends ?
[08:56] <allstarsnorks2> Why is Ubuntu Mini 12.04 and 14.04 giving me a bad archive mirror
[08:56] <ikonia> what's the actual issue ?
[08:56] <karab44> ikonia: I can't see my SSD
[08:56] <cfhowlett> allstarsnorks2, paste the error
[08:57] <ikonia> karab44: thats totally different to the font library error you just pasted
[08:57] <ikonia> and the random claim of exploit
[08:57] <karab44> I know, I told it's not related.
[08:57] <ikonia> can you please summerise what you want/need from this channel
[08:57] <mdoge> karab44: if you cant see your SSD maybe its because in your computer case?
[08:57] <ikonia> karab44: then why are you pasting random font libray errors as an exploit when you really want help with your ssd
[08:57] <ikonia> mdoge: help - or don't speak
[08:58] <mdoge> ikonia: aye captain
[08:58] <OerHeks> karab44, is it a SSD or hybrid SSD/hdd ?
[08:58] <allstarsnorks2> it either gives me an error or just blanks out
[08:58] <karab44> it's sandisk Ultra II 960GB I told it 200 times already. It's ssd
[08:59] <OerHeks> sorry, i rebooted 15 min ago
[08:59] <karab44> ikonia and yes libfreetype when it comes to segfault is potentially exploitable - so it's security case but it's just by the way
[08:59] <ikonia> karab44: why is that an exploit ???
[08:59] <ikonia> what are you talking about
[08:59] <karab44> ikonia: it's not an exploit
[08:59] <karab44> it's exploitable
[08:59] <ikonia> why ??
[09:00] <ikonia> why is it exploitable ?
[09:00] <mdoge> karab44: please stfu noob
[09:00] <mdoge> you dont know anything about security
[09:00] <ikonia> mdoge: tone down the language
[09:00] <karab44> :D
[09:00] <ikonia> mdoge: there is no need for it, and it's not welcome
[09:00] <mdoge> ikonia: aye captain :-)
[09:00] <allstarsnorks2> mirror does not support the specified release (trusty)
[09:00] <cfhowlett> !behelpful| mdoge,
[09:00] <allstarsnorks2> but it's the 14.04 minimal version...
[09:01] <karab44> when it comes to seg fault you can read out of the memory space
[09:01] <ikonia> karab44: not always, and it depends
[09:02] <ikonia> karab44: and that doesn't mean it's a bug - that could be something to do with your specific hardware config
[09:02] <karab44> so in general anyone who know hows how to write an exaploit can access secured range of memory/ i'e root shell
[09:02] <ikonia> karab44: I'd advise not logging a bug for something you don't really understand
[09:02] <allstarsnorks2> cfhowlett the error reads " mirror does not support the specified release (trusty)" even though I'm using the 14.04 version of Minimal Ubuntu
[09:02] <ikonia> karab44: thats not true,
[09:02] <cfhowlett> allstarsnorks2, test by switching to main mirror
[09:03] <karab44> ikonia: I won't discuss it here.
[09:03] <allstarsnorks2> cfhowlett same thing
[09:03] <ikonia> karab44: good
[09:03] <cfhowlett> allstarsnorks2, dang.  I was really hoping it would be simple.
[09:04] <allstarsnorks2> it may be my internet brb
[09:05] <kam270> !help
[09:06] <karab44> I can recommend many books how to write safe code
[09:06] <ilhami> how can I fasten my ubuntu VM?
[09:06] <karab44> ok so what about my drive?
[09:07] <ash`> karab44: "write safe code" is so ambiguous i really don't think that belongs here - unless you're talking about the kernel level? which i doubt
[09:07] <karab44> kernel is interesting case, yes
[09:09] <ilhami> dudes
[09:09] <karab44> it's really easy to use libfreetype in any app and catch stock pointer and play it around until you break out. It's time consuming but relatively easy.
[09:09] <karab44> brb
[09:11] <HappyNewYear13> what do firefox users do to get adobe flash to work correctly while using its latest version?
[09:12] <karab44> ok I restarted my PC and sandisk is with me now
[09:12] <karab44> how to explain that?
[09:13] <somsip> karab44: dodgy hardware. My video card dies about twice a week unless I open the case, wobble it, then reboot. Hence my earlier suggestion.
[09:13] <themusicgod1> which channel is best to discuss vivid issues?
[09:13] <OerHeks> HappyNewYear13, install flashplugin-installer, it will get you flash <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:13] <DJones> themusicgod1: #ubuntu+1
[09:13] <ikonia> karab44: any part of the desktop / dependencies used to mount failed
[09:13] <cfhowlett> themusicgod1, #ubuntu+1
[09:13] <themusicgod1> thx
[09:13] <ikonia> you had a segfault on one app, others may have crashed too
[09:13] <ikonia> (as a random guess)
[09:14] <owen1> somsip: i see 'key release 110' but when i add the xbindkeys to trigger mousedown when home is pressed, i don't get the 'key release 110'
[09:14] <karab44> ikonia: may be true but it's not anywhere in dmesg
[09:14] <ikonia> karab44: dmesg doesn't catch everything
[09:14] <ikonia> karab44: it depends on what crashed and why
[09:14] <HappyNewYear13> OerHeks, are you happy with having version 11.2 instead of 15? do you use firefox?
[09:14] <karab44> ikonia: but should catch SSD drivers, right? Just like it does second time - I mean now.
[09:15] <ikonia> karab44: who said it's ssd drivers ?
[09:15] <ikonia> there are no "drivers" for ssd disks
[09:15] <somsip> owen1: with what you describe, you should get key pressed when a key is pressed, not key release. Or maybe key release is not an event and you have to poll for 'key no longer being pressed'
[09:15] <karab44> so how it works then? Magic does the job?
[09:15] <ikonia> karab44: no,
[09:16] <gr33n7007h> HappyNewYear13, 15 wtf that's win/mac osx only, 11.2 latest on linux
[09:16] <owen1> somsip: i always see 'key press 110'. the release is the tricky one
[09:17] <karab44> I tought all my life that kernel or kernel modules contains some drivers to make hw work but I see I was wrong...
[09:17] <ikonia> karab44: the mounting of the disk (and especially in the desktop) is made up of many components
[09:17] <ikonia> if one of them crashed/hung it can stop the auto mounting of the disk
[09:17] <somsip> owen1: enter loop that checks for 'key being pressed' and exit when condition is false
[09:17] <ikonia> (just an easy example)
[09:17] <OerHeks> HappyNewYear13, adobe dropped support for linux-flash, 11.2 is the latest.
[09:18] <OerHeks> * only bugs will be repaired
[09:18] <karab44> ikonia: that is right but It's not even detected by the kernel so it can't be mount when it's not even conscious the drive is there
[09:18] <karab44> mounted*
[09:18] <ikonia> karab44: again - that could be many things
[09:19] <karab44> ikonia: of course I do not exclude bios or disk itself yet
[09:19] <OerHeks> HappyNewYear13, pepperflash for chromium/chrome is the newer ppapi version see .https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[09:19] <karab44> I had some similiar problems when I was using my current primary drive - the firmware was an issue that causes BSODS
[09:20] <karab44> it was there after many many fw updates
[09:20] <karab44> but it's finally stable
[09:20] <HappyNewYear13> gr33n7007h, OerHeks there's a "fresh player plugin" to run version 15 on firefox but im having problems, but it should work for most: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/install-fresh-player-plugin-in-ubuntu.html
[09:20] <karab44> can I set the kernel to some verbose printing?
[09:21] <ikonia> karab44: verbose printing ???
[09:21] <ikonia> karab44: what are you trying to achieve ?
[09:21] <OerHeks> HappyNewYear13,  freshplayerplugin is not supported here, seems like a hack
[09:22] <karab44> look for some errors related
[09:22] <ikonia> karab44: errors related to what ?
[09:22] <karab44> to disappearance of my drive
[09:22] <ikonia> they will have already gone
[09:22] <ikonia> and the kernel is quite verbose anyway
[09:22] <ikonia> you seem to be assuming it's a kernel problem
[09:22] <HappyNewYear13> OerHeks, it's really good
[09:22] <karab44> no I assume that kernel prints may help
[09:23] <ikonia> sorry no
[09:23] <ikonia> this appears to be random approach to a non-existant problem (at this moment in time)
[09:23] <karab44> so where should I start then?
[09:23] <OerHeks> HappyNewYear13, so you answered your own issue, good.
[09:23] <ikonia> karab44: I would wait for the problem to happen again
[09:23] <ikonia> then evaluate your system at that point in time
[09:24] <karab44> probably tomorrow. It happens when PC awakes... really. It lives it's own life
[09:24] <HappyNewYear13> OerHeks, i wanted to know if firefox users do something else to get version 15 running
[09:24] <karab44> I mean I don't suspend the system, I turn the power off.
[09:24] <OerHeks> HappyNewYear13, there is no offical way to get flash15 for linux.
[09:25] <HappyNewYear13> OerHeks, some sites dont work correctly with flash 11.2. nd i don't like chromium/chrome
[09:26] <HappyNewYear13> why did adobe do that? (stopping support for linux?) i bet they use linux machines to run their servers and develop their shit
[09:27] <cfhowlett> HappyNewYear13, ask adobe - their decision, not ubuntu
[09:27] <HappyNewYear13> cfhowlett, as if they would reply to me
[09:36] <karab44> I am back with some news!
[09:36] <karab44> http://pasteall.org/pic/80401
[09:36] <karab44> now this
[09:37] <karab44> but this is still not related to my secondary SSD
[09:37] <karab44> it's related to my primary SSD :)
[09:37] <karab44> any helpful hand would be priciated
[09:47] <blasmas> ya
[09:53] <blasmas> well?
[09:54] <blasmas> :-/
[09:54] <cfhowlett> blasmas, well what?  no mind readers here = post your ubuntu question
[09:57] <blasmas> I
[09:57] <blasmas> hi
[10:07] <lopuch1> .
[10:08] <lopuch1> .
[10:08] <lopuch1> .
[10:08] <Fuchs> lopuch1: try being somewhat more verbose
[10:09] <Fuchs> most people in here probably don't speak .
[10:09] <SnuskGubben> I speak .
[10:09] <SnuskGubben> lopuch1, . . .. . .    .
[10:12] <akurilin> Is it possible to do hd-level encryption with ubuntu on the root drive after the distro has already been installed?
[10:13] <akurilin> I guess it doesn't have to be the whole drive, that doesn't make much sense
[10:13] <akurilin> no sensitive data there
[10:13] <cfhowlett> !info ecryptfs
[10:14] <OerHeks> akurilin, full encryption must be done during install, just encrypting your /home can be done afterwards
[10:15] <OerHeks> akurilin, see http://www.howtogeek.com/116032/how-to-encrypt-your-home-folder-after-installing-ubuntu/ it takes a few steps
[10:20] <lopuch1> .
[10:21] <SnuskGubben> .
[10:23] <martapy> hi guys. how do i solve this problem: when trying to boot from flash drive an error comes up saying "initramfs unpacking failed: uncompression error"
[10:24] <Ben64> martapy: what flash drive
[10:24] <karab44> And now I'm on my android tablet ;)
[10:26] <martapy> Ben64: a kingston 8GB flashdrive
[10:26] <Ben64> martapy: i mean what is on it...
[10:27] <martapy> Ben64: debian stable
[10:27] <Ben64> martapy: well then you should head to #debian and ask them
[10:28] <pringles> martapy: i have the same problem as you
[10:28] <karab44> I had kernel panic
[10:28] <martapy> Ben64: okay thanks.
[10:28] <OerHeks> pringles, then you should do the same :-)
[10:31] <SnuskGubben> give the kernal some xanax and it will stop panicing
[10:32] <SnuskGubben> #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:39] <Bakerbart> You can get the latest flash player for firefox on linux with fresh player plugin
[10:39] <ikonia> you can't
[10:39] <ikonia> flash has stopped developing from linux
[10:39] <ikonia> anything else is not from adobe
[10:40] <lopuch1> .
[10:40] <OerHeks> Bakerbart, if you point to http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/install-fresh-player-plugin-in-ubuntu.html it is just a hack, with known issues too
[10:40] <Bakerbart> That's what I meant
[10:41] <Bakerbart> I haven't tried it yet but it seems like a good solution
[10:45] <lopuch1> .
[10:45] <SnuskGubben> .
[10:53] <karab44> How to proceed after kernel panic?
[10:54] <tirengarfio> I have just installed ubuntu 14.04 but firefox doesn't start, the icon start to blink but the app doesn't start
[10:54] <ikonia> karab44: reboot
[10:54] <SnuskGubben> karab44, did you give the kernel some xanax?
[10:55] <karab44> It says soft stuck cpu
[10:55] <ikonia> SnuskGubben: please don't make silly comments, if you can't of help - don't
[10:55] <ikonia> karab44: it doesn't say that
[10:55] <ikonia> karab44: it says it can't find your root disk
[10:55] <karab44> Ikonia I had another one
[10:56] <ikonia> sounds like you have hardware problems then
[10:56] <ikonia> segfaults and kernel panics normally = hardware
[10:56] <ikonia> I'm guessing your looking at a line that says "softlock on cpu"
[10:56] <SnuskGubben> ikonia, i'm sorry.
[10:56] <ikonia> SnuskGubben: no problem
[10:56] <karab44> Doesn't happen on windows
[10:56] <ikonia> karab44: doesn't mean anything
[10:56] <ikonia> karab44: possible incompatible hardware though
[10:57] <ikonia> if you want to approach it from windows work / linux doesn't point of view
[10:57] <karab44> But I moved my ssd from old PC to new one. So it's old system
[10:57] <tirengarfio> any help?
[10:57] <ikonia> karab44: that means nothing and has no impact
[10:57] <karab44> Old system with new he configuration
[10:57] <ikonia> tirengarfio: open a terminal, type "firefox" and see what happens
[10:57] <ikonia> karab44: again means nothing
[10:58] <karab44> Well it is hasewell-e on x99 so quite new and very different
[10:58] <ikonia> karab44: again - means nothing
[10:59] <karab44> It means a lot
[10:59] <karab44> I can't in example install sli
[10:59] <ikonia> it doesn't
[10:59] <karab44> But on  fresh 14.10 I can
[10:59] <ikonia> karab44: sli has nothign to do with anything you've said
[10:59] <ikonia> karab44: please focus on the real issue rather than random examples to try to score points
[11:00] <karab44> I try to use some logic here
[11:00] <ajayaa> Hi guys. How do I find out amount of data my ubuntu box uses from internet in a time period?
[11:00] <ikonia> karab44: and your logic is failing
[11:00] <ikonia> so focus on the problem
[11:00] <karab44> When I don't have enough proves
[11:00] <ikonia> karab44: pardon ?
[11:00] <Ben64> ajayaa: you can use bwm-ng to keep a running total
[11:00] <karab44> Why failing? You can't prove that
[11:00] <tirengarfio> ikonia: it says could not create gnome accelerators directory /home/tirengarfio/.gnome2/accels : Permission denied
[11:01] <ikonia> karab44: I've suggested base reasons, you need to investigate and not make assumptions
[11:01] <ikonia> tirengarfio: ok,sounds like you've run firefox as root at some point and messed up the permissions
[11:01] <karab44> Right but I want to start at some place
[11:01] <ikonia> karab44: what have you done so far ?
[11:02] <ajayaa> Ben64, Thank you.
[11:02] <karab44> I checked the connections and slot matching under the hood
[11:02] <r_a_x> software center does not have "install" option it has "use this source" ??
[11:03] <karab44> I have bios boot loader. Can I switch it to efi?
[11:03] <karab44> I had some time ago hw fails because of fastboot on old hw
[11:04] <ikonia> karab44: what seems unlikely as a problem
[11:04] <ikonia> karab44: if your machine is booting - then efi should not be a problem
[11:04] <karab44> It does booting
[11:05] <karab44> But without disk from time to time
[11:05] <ikonia> so that suggests hardware
[11:05] <ikonia> (from a basic level)
[11:05] <karab44> Nice case for long winter evenings
[11:06] <karab44> OK I switch to w8 for 2 weeks. If it reproduces than I'll blame the hw
[11:07] <karab44> I have no choice
[11:07] <karab44> I've tested all known Linux benchmarks and diagtools
[11:07] <karab44> So far
[11:08] <ajayaa> Ben64, It only gives the bandwidth. I need total data transferred through a interface.
[11:08] <Ben64> ajayaa: it does that too
[11:08] <OerHeks> karab44, some ssd's need new firmware, did you check that?
[11:08] <karab44> Yes
[11:09] <ajayaa> Ben64, I can't seem to find that in --help. I will dig further. :)
[11:09] <Ben64> ajayaa: do you see where it says "press 'h' for help"
[11:09] <ajayaa> yes
[11:09] <ajayaa> Ben64 ^
[11:09] <Ben64> press 'h' for help
[11:10] <calimero_82> hi guys
[11:10] <calimero_82> every time i boot lubuntu appears: problem detected :/usr/sbin/samba, i've lubu 14.04, what should i do? thanks
[11:13] <ajayaa> Ben64, It was a bit counter intuitive but I got it finally. 't' does it.
[11:14] <evenflow> hi, i am mounting nfs4 export on ubuntu, and noticed that when copying files using cp im losing the nfs4 acls, after some googling i saw that cp -p uses a different system call for getting the acl, is there anyway to make cp aware of nfs4 acls?
[11:15] <r_a_X> Software center do not have install option instead it shows "use this source"
[11:15] <OpenTokix> anyone experienced with maas and openstack?
[11:16] <OpenTokix> My maas cluster master dont see any of its interfaces
[11:19] <r_a_X> after googling I found that it can be resolved by using this  command "sudo apt-get update " but for every repository it shows failed to fetch ,some index files failed to be download ,old ones used instead
[11:20] <Ben64> r_a_X: pastebin the error(s)

[11:26] <cfhowlett> karab44, beyond the scope of this channel I'd say ...
[11:26] <WyZeGuY> karab44 that's a really simple thing to accomplish. but why don't you just try to make the most of life, while you have it?
[11:27] <WyZeGuY> karab44, i'm full of good advice. just listen to me, i'll tell ya
[11:27] <Ryvius> Help I am trying to follow this guide, but how do I place the line into the file? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man4/acpi_toshiba.4freebsd.html
[11:27] <karab44> Cmon I always have some adventures with computers. Why can't I normally work instead?
[11:27] <karab44> I am solving mysteries when I have so much work to do
[11:28] <karab44> It's not easy path
[11:30] <WyZeGuY> INSTALL dnscrypt, YES or NO?
[11:31] <cfhowlett> WyZeGuY, give no details, as you just did, get no meaningful answer, as you just have ...
[11:31] <OerHeks> WyZeGuY, that is up to you, some use dnscrypt-proxy others use opendns
[11:31] <Ben64> WyZeGuY: its not in the repositories, so figure it out for yourself, its not supported here
[11:33] <nwe> hello, how can I do so ubunut dont rename my interface from ethX to emX etc?
[11:36] <WyZeGuY> hello?
[11:37] <cfhowlett> WyZeGuY, your question was asked and answered.  next?
[11:37] <WyZeGuY> cfhowlett, nothing came through on my end. could you copy paste the answer?
[11:37] <cfhowlett> WyZeGuY, <Ben64> WyZeGuY: its not in the repositories, so figure it out for yourself, its not supported here
[11:38] <WyZeGuY> hm ok. thanks for pointing out the logical side to me. i will consider that next time.
[11:39] <DrDroid> If anyone can help I am running UB 14.04, I decided to disable Compiz to do some troubleshooting but I went too far and I disabled the Compiz libraries now I've lost the Unity launcher and top bar. I can't even bring up Terminal by doing a Ctrl+Alt+T How can I restore the Compiz Libraries. I would appreciate any help.
[11:39] <Ben64> DrDroid: it would help if you specify how you "disabled the Compiz libraries"
[11:39] <Fuchs> DrDroid: how exactly did you "disable" them?
[11:40] <Fuchs> DrDroid: and you can always get a VT with CTRL+ALT+F2   (CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back), just in case of you needing a terminal
[11:40] <DrDroid> Fuchs: I went into Compiz manager and disabled Compiz from there.
[11:40] <Ryvius> Oh so that's how you get back
[11:41] <Fuchs> DrDroid: I assume you mean ccsm. You can start that from said VT, just go there (CTRL+ALT+F2), run  DISPLAY=:0 compiz,  CTRL+ALT+F7, enable what you need
[11:42] <DrDroid> I've tried the CTRL+ALT+F7 but I need the correct commands to restore it.
[11:42] <Fuchs> For that you'd need to tell us how exactly you broke it,
[11:43] <DrDroid> I'll try that Fuchs.
[11:43] <Fuchs> if really only by deselecting stuff in compiz-manager (ccsm), then I gave you the needed command.
[11:47] <DrDroid> Fuchs thanks for the help :-)
[11:47] <Fuchs> you're welcome

[12:28] <MacroMan> Quick one. How does one escape a ' character when using echo and surrounding the string in ' ?
[12:28] <MacroMan> eg echo 'This is a string with a ' character'
[12:28] <usr13> tirengarfio: shutdown -ry now  #To do filesystem check / repair if possible
[12:29] <Ben64> MacroMan: you don't
[12:30] <UselessWolf> hiho
[12:30] <MacroMan> Ben64, That's not really helpful. I kind of need to.
[12:30] <UselessWolf> can someone tell me why apache isnt autostarting?
[12:30] <Ben64> MacroMan: then use double quotes
[12:31] <MacroMan> OK. Same question for double quotes?
[12:31] <Ben64> echo "blah ' blah"
[12:32] <Ben64> works fine
[12:32] <MacroMan> But what if my string contains both single and double quotes?
[12:32] <Ben64> echo "blah \"' blah"
[12:32] <MacroMan> echo "mary said "Here's my sponge""

[12:36] <Guest71178> are launchpad repos safe security wise to use?
[12:37] <BadApe> i feel the need, the need to share dumbassary, backupscript.sh outputs the tar.bz2 to /tmp/
[12:37] <Ben64> Guest71178: they're by 3rd parties, so... it depends how much you trust the people who maintain them
[12:38] <BadApe> no one else finds that funny?
[12:38] <Guest71178> Ben64, thanks for your answer
[12:38] <k1l_> Guest71178: they are not official form ubuntu/canonical. so it depends on how much you trust the one who runs that PPA

[12:39] <usr13> Ben64: I don't think you need to escape the ' just the " Right?

[12:40] <gansteed> what is the usage of virtualbox-guest-dkms? should I install it?
[12:40] <Ben64> usr13: np, nothing wrong with some peer review :D
[12:41] <Ben64> gansteed: if you're running ubuntu as a guest in a virtualbox vm, its probably a good idea
[12:42] <gansteed> Ben64: so it not support windows, right?
[12:42] <Ben64> gansteed: uh... what are you trying to accomplish?
[12:43] <usr13> !info virtualbox-guest-dkms | gansteed
[12:43] <gansteed> I mean it not support windows as guestOS?
[12:44] <gansteed> I get it ;D
[12:44] <k1l_> gansteed: windows doesnt use dkms. so no
[12:44] <gansteed> thanks, guys
[12:45] <k1l_> gansteed: but vbox supports windows as guest os.
[12:45] <k1l_> just not with the package you mentioned
[12:45] <Ben64> gansteed: windows also doesn't support .deb files or apt-get... i'm not sure if you understand the purpose of that package. it is to be installed on an ubuntu guest system, the host can be windows or linux
[12:46] <gansteed> yeah, I know this point
[12:47] <gansteed> my host is ubuntu ;-), and my guest is windows xp
[12:47] <Ben64> ok, then there is a "guest additions" iso that can be installed in windows, i think vbox will prompt you to download it
[12:49] <gansteed> Ben64: my host OS is * ubuntu *  :D  just type `sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso`

[12:58] <medecau> Hi, I’m on a mac and I am trying to get .iso into a usb drive
[12:59] <Ben64> medecau: what iso
[12:59] <medecau> I have tried using dd but it wont boot on the macbook
[12:59] <medecau> 14.04
[12:59] <medecau> for the desktop
[12:59] <OerHeks> 32 or 64 bit?
[12:59] <Ben64> you should be able to dd if you use the mac iso
[12:59] <medecau> http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/pub/ubuntu-releases/14.04.1/ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
[12:59] <medecau> that one
[12:59] <cfhowlett> medecau, don't dd.  make the usb with ubuntu-startup-disk-creator
[13:00] <cfhowlett> medecau, "won't boot" means ???
[13:00] <cfhowlett> details
[13:00] <medecau> cf the comp boots but fails to read the drive, it’s something wrong with the process of putting things on the drive
[13:01] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | medecau, verify your .iso        and USB
[13:01] <cfhowlett> medecau, also what year is your MB?
[13:01] <medecau> I was able to get debian in the target comp but I feel miserable editing files to get a working computer and am defaulting to ubuntu to get past the nightmare of yak shaving
[13:02] <lanoxx> I am trying to setup a network scanner from an HP all in one device but it is not being recognized. Are there any instructions or documentation about hp scanners/all in one devices. I am on 14.04 LTS
[13:02] <medecau> MB is 4,1 from early 2008
[13:02] <cfhowlett> !mac | medecau, might be a different process = read the wiki
[13:02] <medecau> oh md5 is a good idea, didn’t thhink of that
[13:04] <thepheinex> good moring all
[13:04] <OerHeks> old wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro4-1
[13:08] <jacco> hi all
[13:08] <jacco> I'm back
[13:08] <jacco> well, I sorted out some of my past issues with Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS installation over a full encrypted disk in manual style
[13:09] <jacco> now I have a new problem
[13:09] <jacco> system won't boot, cause the installer wasn't smart enough to understand my setup and create a proper grub.cfg file
[13:10] <jacco> my problem now is, how I should fix it in order to make system boot?
[13:11] <jacco> well, passing "cryptdevice=/dev/sdaX:MyLVM" on the kernel command line wasn't enough
[13:11] <jacco> my setup is LVM on top of a LUKS device
[13:12] <medecau> OerHeks: mine’s not an MB pro just vanilla MB but thanks
[13:12] <jacco> I tried to chroot via live installer to fix it, but regenerating the config file wasn't sufficient
[13:13] <jacco> still stuck there, system won't boot (after few moment I'm back in an emergency shell
[13:13] <jacco> )
[13:13] <tirengarfio> I have problems with Ubuntu 5 or 6 months ago, My problem is that the apps get crashed, overall firefox and thunderbird, I get problems also with virtual machines in Virtual Box. Sometimes the Ubuntu get frozen also. I have reinstalled Ubunutu twice and checked the md5sum. I have also change the harddisk and the ram memory. What else can I do? Could be a problem with the motherboard or processor. Im getting crazy..
[13:14] <cfhowlett> tirengarfio, read your system logs
[13:14] <tirengarfio> where are they?
[13:14] <jacco> @tirengarfio I'm dealing a very similar issue with a friend's computer, looks like you have either a faulty PSU or some bad capacitors on the mobo
[13:14] <jacco> or perhaps something more serious
[13:15] <tirengarfio> psu? what is that?
[13:15] <jacco> Power Supply Unit, your computer power source
[13:15] <cfhowlett> medecau, this is the most recent wiki - should work with 14.04.1
[13:16] <tirengarfio> yes, that could be!! sometimes the computer shut down by its own, and restart by its own again
[13:16] <tirengarfio> jacco:
[13:16] <cfhowlett> medecau, note: rEFIT has been replaced by rEFIND
[13:16] <tirengarfio> what should I do? what is the relation between the crashing and the power supply??????
[13:17] <medecau> so, I was looking at the local mirrors for ubuntu and found a problem, contacted the admins and they pointed out that it is coming from upstream.
[13:17] <jacco> an aging/faulty PSU maybe not able to supply enough current to your system, making it unstable
[13:17] <medecau> You might want to know about this: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/
[13:17] <cfhowlett> medecau, back down to 12.04 = still supported
[13:17] <medecau> it works
[13:17] <jacco> similar basis applies to bad capacitors on the motherboard
[13:19] <jacco> also, some cheap PSUs tend to have voltage/current fluctuations very often
[13:19] <tirengarfio> But I didn't have these problems when I bought the computer, what should I do then jacco buty another power supply?
[13:19] <jacco> check your current PSU warranty state: if it is in warranty, go to the shop where you bought it and ask a replacement
[13:20] <theptr> hi, i want to auto add a repo but i do something wrong with my command this is what i do : sudo add-apt-repository : deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
[13:20] <jacco> otherwise, contact the PSU manufacturer (if it is from a serious manufacturer) and ask it
[13:20] <cfhowlett> !webmin | theptr webmin is explicitly advised against and NOT SUPPORTED here.  you're on your own
[13:21] <theptr> ubottu, i have to use it for school so i have no option
[13:21] <lesshaste> when I use my cd player to rip a cd it puts linux into an unstable state. I start getting "Bus error" when I do "ls" on the hard drive for example
[13:21] <tirengarfio> jacco thank you very much, I will do that
[13:22] <jacco> no worries my friend
[13:26] <solsTiCe> lesshaste: post your /var/log/syslog to see at the errors on pastebin
[13:27] <lesshaste> solsTiCe, I suppose I will need to find old versions of this? I have to actually turn the computer off at the wall for get out of the proble
[13:27] <lesshaste> m
[13:27] <solsTiCe> ok
[13:27] <lesshaste> ah ok.. I found where they live.  OK I will do this when i can log back in (it's not here now)
[13:28] <lesshaste> thanks
[13:28] <solsTiCe> the problem is still there after a reboot ?
[13:28] <jacco> guys, I have to go
[13:28] <jacco> bb all
[13:28] <jacco> see ya
[13:28] <lesshaste> solsTiCe, on one occasion it didn't seem to come back up fully  after a soft reboot
[13:28] <lesshaste> solsTiCe, maybe it would have done if I had had more patience
[13:29] <lesshaste> it has to repair ext4 damage too
[13:31] <solsTiCe> well you better avoid using your cd ripper then. It seems to come from the module or the kernel
[13:34] <lesshaste> solsTiCe, ok.. so you don't think this would be caused by some hardware problem?
[13:34] <lesshaste> solsTiCe,  I built the machine myself :)
[13:35] <lesshaste> it would of course be nice if linux were robust in any case
[13:39] <phaenon> my volume is maxed out after every reboot, how do i fix this ?
[13:40] <RobodudeMC> phaenon: Try this, pacmd set-sink-volume 0 32768
[13:40] <RobodudeMC> That last number is your default volume
[13:41] <DFeniks> what would teoretically happen if i upgrade libglib2.0 from 2.26.1 to 2.31.8 on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[13:41] <phaenon> 32k is max, so for half that i would use 16384 ?
[13:41] <RobodudeMC> It seems so
[13:41] <TJ-> lesshaste: Are the CD drive and the hard disk connected on the same physical interface, such as being primary and slave devices on a single IDE PATA channel?
[13:41] <phaenon> rebooting
[13:41] <lesshaste> TJ-,  I wil check. If they are , what should I do?
[13:42] <k1l_> DFeniks: it will make trouble all the way. just install a clean supported ubuntu like 12.04 or 14.04 since you seem to not want to upgrade that often
[13:43] <TJ-> lesshaste: If they are it would explain the kernel error you're seeing - both devices using the same bus at the same time causing errors might suggests that the devices don't have their jumpers set correctly so one is master and the other slave, or that both device aren't set to use "cable select"
[13:43] <yutuyutu> hi everyone! is there a way to repair my usb filesystem witch contain all my files.
[13:43] <lesshaste> TJ-,  thanks! It is very likely I didn't set something correctly
[13:43] <yutuyutu> ?
[13:43] <RobodudeMC> yutuyutu: What needs repairing
[13:43] <lesshaste> TJ-,  should they both be master?
[13:44] <TJ-> lesshaste: If they aren't both on the same interface/channel then that stuff won't matter, unless there are other devices also on those interfaces. IF they're SATA devices then none of that applies
[13:44] <phaenon> RobodudeMC, aint working .. tnx anyway
[13:44] <yutuyutu> i run ubuntu live 14.10 and i work with initramfs
[13:44] <RobodudeMC> phaenon: Hmm...
[13:44] <TJ-> lesshaste: On a single IDE PATA channel, with 2 devices, one must be master and the other slave. If both are set to "cable select" instead they'll figure it out for themselves
[13:44] <phaenon> RobodudeMC, its just after reboot, when i press any of the vol buttens, the volume corrects itself.
[13:44] <DFeniks> i guess i will try to find if i can install nvidia-96 and maybe old x server and old kernel (if needed) on my 14.04 (i think it was 04) install then
[13:45] <RobodudeMC> phaenon: What version of ubuntu are you running?
[13:45] <TJ-> lesshaste: With one device on a channel then it should be master or 'cable select'
[13:45] <phaenon> 14.04lts gnome
[13:45] <DFeniks> or maybe i will try all other video drivers maybe some will work normally
[13:45] <lesshaste> TJ-, thanks! I'll take a look and see what sort of mess i made :)
[13:46] <k1l_> DFeniks: try the opensource nvidia driver
[13:46] <RobodudeMC> phaenon: Do you have a dedicated sound card?
[13:47] <Drac_KI> shut
[13:47] <Drac_KI> #ubuntuindonesia
[13:47] <phaenon> RobodudeMC, lemme check
[13:51] <yutuyutu> can i use fsck on my usb drive with problems on initramfs?
[13:52] <Drac_KI> zz
[13:52] <koi> hello folks, been bashing my head against this all day. I set up samba shares a while back and wanted to add one more today, well my smb.conf doesnt seem to contain any of the share info and it wasnt set with nautalus.. the old shares work but i cant figure out where to alter em! help!
[13:55] <michele993> hi guy
[13:55] <michele993> what did this color ? http://www.pasteall.org/pic/80412
[13:57] <daftykins> !it | michele993
[13:57] <michele993> i speak english
[13:58] <daftykins> not so great judging from the above i'm afraid.
[13:58] <EriC^^> michele993: use photoshop or something to get the color from the png?
[13:59] <michele993> WHAT?
[13:59] <EriC^^> http://html-color-codes.info/colors-from-image/
[13:59] <EriC^^> michele993: use a tool to select a point on the image and get the color code from it
[14:00] <michele993> no i want to know
[14:00] <michele993> what do this choose of color
[14:00] <daftykins> i'm sorry you don't make sense
[14:00] <EriC^^> like this http://pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com/photo-editing/neutral-gray/photoshop-color-sampler-tool.gif
[14:00] <michele993> in aspect of ubunt
[14:00] <warped-coder> I'm having a big trouble since I updated my ubuntu this morning
[14:01] <warped-coder> I get this message: The system is running in a low-graphics mode
[14:01] <warped-coder> the only way to get it running is to remove all the nvidia drivers
[14:01] <koi> hello folks, been bashing my head against this all day. I set up samba shares a while back and wanted to add one more today, well my smb.conf doesnt seem to contain any of the share info and it wasnt set with nautalus.. the old shares work but i cant figure out where to alter em! help!
[14:01] <warped-coder> but this isn't an option, as I'm working on graphics programming
[14:02] <michele993> oh my god where is ins
[14:02] <michele993> xD
[14:02] <daftykins> warped-coder: sounds like you installed nvidia drivers downloaded from the website before
[14:02] <warped-coder> nope
[14:02] <daftykins> instead of packages
[14:02] <michele993> on my keyboard
[14:02] <warped-coder> I installed them from the additional drivers
[14:02] <EriC^^> michele993: it's you michele_ ?
[14:02] <michele993> yes
[14:02] <EriC^^> ah
[14:02] <daftykins> warped-coder: is this a laptop?
[14:02] <michele993> you remember kworker
[14:02] <michele993> xD
[14:02] <EriC^^> yeah :D
[14:03] <warped-coder> daftykins: yep, xps 15
[14:03] <michele993> help i don't found ins
[14:03] <daftykins> warped-coder: nvidia optimus setup then?
[14:03] <michele993> when i write the text
[14:03] <warped-coder> daftykins: not what I'm aware of (this is a custom installed ubuntu, not coming from dell)
[14:03] <DJones> michele993: It'll be the "insert" key, probably next to the home/delete/end keys
[14:03] <warped-coder> daftykins: I thought it is too much hassle at the moment to install it
[14:03] <daftykins> warped-coder: optimus is when you see both intel on-die graphics and the nvidia chip from "lspci"
[14:04] <michele993> ooh tahnks
[14:04] <warped-coder> daftykins: let me check
[14:04] <michele993> shift +0
[14:04] <michele993> thanks a lot
[14:04] <michele993> DJones :D
[14:04] <DJones> michele993: You're welcome
[14:04] <EriC^^> michele993: you want to make a screenshot?
[14:05] <michele993> in aspect i've found this button
[14:05] <michele993> http://www.pasteall.org/pic/80412
[14:05] <michele993> what i does?
[14:05] <michele993> i select the color but i don't know what it does
[14:06] <warped-coder> daftykins: i have VHA comaptible controller: Intel 4th Gen cCore Integrated Graphics controller rev 6 and 3d controller: NVIDIA...
[14:06] <daftykins> warped-coder: and what version are you on?
[14:07] <EriC^^> michele993: ah
[14:07] <warped-coder> daftykins: Ubuntu 14.10, nvidia-331-updates (i tried with just nvidia-current/current-updates/331)
[14:08] <warped-coder> daftykins: I didn't install anything regarding the intel driver (they apparently don't have support for 14.10)
[14:08] <daftykins> warped-coder: yeah you need to install nvidia-prime along with it
[14:08] <EriC^^> michele993: i think if you choose the wall paper as a color only that's the color of the background
[14:08] <warped-coder> daftykins: ok, i'll give it a go
[14:09] <warped-coder> daftykins: it says I already have it
[14:09] <daftykins> warped-coder: you might want to run: sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[14:09] <EriC^^> michele993: hold on
[14:10] <warped-coder> daftykins: that's how I tried the previous installations, but it didn't work
[14:10] <warped-coder> daftykins: but I'll try it again
[14:11] <warped-coder> daftykins: however, after removing the nvidia drivers, the system becomes so sluggish as if there was no graphics acceleration at all
[14:12] <warped-coder> daftykins: which driver do you suppose I should install?
[14:12] <daftykins> warped-coder: there probably won't be, it'll be running on the intel only - *but* optimus setups don't use the nvidia chip for the desktop i don't think.
[14:12] <EriC^^> michele993: see this http://eeee.bshellz.net/Appearance_029.png
[14:12] <EriC^^> michele993: you have to select Colors & Gradients, and select one of them
[14:13] <EriC^^> i think that's what that box is for in your pic
[14:13] <warped-coder> daftykins: don't think it is running on any acceleration at all, or windows is much better on intel than unity
[14:13] <warped-coder> daftykins: right, so I removed all nvidia drivers/packages. what next?
[14:13] <daftykins> warped-coder: i can't comment on intel in 14.10 - i know nothing about it.
[14:13] <daftykins> warped-coder: fresh boot
[14:13] <Guest48350> hi
[14:16] <warped-coder> ok, so after reboot I have some decent speed (probably previously I didn't restart after removing the NVIDIA packages), so it's probably running on Intel
[14:16] <warped-coder> daftykins: ok, so after reboot I have some decent speed (probably previously I didn't restart after removing the NVIDIA packages), so it's probably running on Intel
[14:17] <k2gremlin> Sup all :)
[14:17] <k2gremlin> Hi daftykins
[14:17] <warped-coder> daftykins: oh my, now it's just frozen as it is
[14:17] <daftykins> k2gremlin: o/
[14:19] <karab44> I've restored old ubuntu image and it's so far so good.
[14:23] <michele993> ahhh
[14:24] <michele993> eric^^ ok now i understand
[14:24] <michele993> :D
[14:24] <michele993> i'm personalizing ubuntu
[14:24] <EriC^^> :D
[14:24] <UselessWolf> hiho
[14:24] <UselessWolf> i installed ubuntu lts 14
[14:24] <daftykins> warped-coder: after reboot?
[14:24] <daftykins> UselessWolf: please ask a full question on one line
[14:24] <UselessWolf> and i just installed apache2 and apache dont start automaticly
[14:26] <daftykins> UselessWolf: confirmed by what method?
[14:26] <daftykins> and do you mean at every boot?
[14:27] <karab44> BUG: soft lockup - CPU stuck for 22s! Bug #1356558
[14:27] <Jkerzz> Some=one here is = unity 3d programmer= ?
[14:27] <karab44> Jkerzz: #unity3d
[14:28] <warped-coder> what is the way to see what is the main driver?
[14:28] <daftykins> warped-coder: install pastebinit and "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[14:31] <k2gremlin> Is there a good chat room for ESXi?
[14:31] <warped-coder> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9233297
[14:31] <k2gremlin> I tried #esxi and there is only 1 person there lol
[14:32] <daftykins> !alis | k2gremlin
[14:32] <Jkerzz> Some§one here is § unity 3d programmer§ ?
[14:33] <daftykins> Jkerzz: you've been told of a more appropriate channel to go to

[14:33] <cfhowlett> jkerzz, !!!! #unity3d sorry jkerning
[14:34] <noiro> Are ubuntu's servers down? I seem to be failing all apt-get updates with 404 errors but all other sites are fine
[14:34] <cfhowlett> noiro, change your mirror
[14:35] <noiro> cfhowlett, to what? Did they change?
[14:35] <noiro> it's like all ubuntu.archive.com/raring updates all 404
[14:35] <daftykins> warped-coder: looks like intel and nouveau fire up, but nouveau fails on your hardware
[14:35] <Pici> raring has reached EOL
[14:35] <cfhowlett> noiro, "they" ... mirrors are all over the world.  best to localize your sources
[14:35] <Pici> !raring | noiro
[14:36] <cfhowlett> noiro, or install a currently supported version = suggest 14.04 for LTS
[14:36] <DJones> noiro: Raring is end of life, the repo's will have been removed sometime after January 2014
[14:36] <noiro> how do I do a upgrade it in place?
[14:36] <daftykins> !eol | noiro
[14:36] <charland1rs> 有人没？
[14:36] <daftykins> !cn
[14:36] <cfhowlett> !cn | charland1rs
[14:36] <charland1rs> 有中国人没
[14:36] <warped-coder> daftykins: hmmm, up until today I was happily using the nvidia driver, so I haven't checked the noveau drivers at all
[14:36] <noiro> do I need to use a boot cd for a newer version or can I somehow update the entire distribution with it on?
[14:36] <cfhowlett> daftykins, 1 what!  you have !cn on speed dial, don't you.
[14:37] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | noiro,
[14:37] <daftykins> warped-coder: yeah i know that, but there's a procedure here and step 1 was purging nvidia :)
[14:37] <daftykins> cfhowlett: :)
[14:37] <roboteer_> test
[14:37] <daftykins> cfhowlett: did that one already too ;)
[14:37] <warped-coder> daftykins: I can't really stay on intel however, because I will need the 3D support for work (I'm working on 3d modelling software, so it's a bit shaky to use it with Intel :) )
[14:38] <warped-coder> daftykins: yeah, I know, just wondering why noveau fails on my laptop, it's a std nvidia 750M
[14:38] <Freddy__> hi - is it still possible to do-release-upgrade from hardy to lucid ?
[14:38] <daftykins> warped-coder: i know that too... the next step is trying to install prime again :)
[14:38] <warped-coder> daftykins: so, what does the procedure says to do next?
[14:38] <warped-coder> daftykins: just prime?
[14:38] <warped-coder> daftykins: like, apt-get install nvidia-prime?
[14:38] <ralph4100> daftykins, if you remember from yesterday, I did end up getting past my efi problems by installing with efi mode set in bios. however, after an apparently successful install, was not able to boot ubuntu - put a rundown of my new issues here if you don't mind taking a look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254100
[14:39] <daftykins> warped-coder: no i don't know if that'll pull in the appropriate packages... you can run it and pastebin it without agreeing if you like
[14:39] <zykotick9> Freddy__: if you're still on hardy, i'd suggest just backing up your data and re-installing...  too many version-upgrades required IMO
[14:40] <vroomfondel> can "dd" accept an input file from stdin?
[14:40] <cfhowlett> !lucid | Freddy__,
[14:40] <warped-coder> daftykins: ok
[14:41] <Freddy__> zykotick9: ok - I have to have a lucid, though  - to backup via rdiff-backup from a lucid machine ...
[14:41] <daftykins> ralph4100: do you recall if it had the black boot screen at first?
[14:41] <daftykins> black and white text menu
[14:41] <zykotick9> Freddy__: i see.  well, see info above about EOL updating then.  good luck.
[14:42] <ralph4100_> daftykins: by at first do you mean my first attempt at booting after install?
[14:42] <daftykins> ralph4100_: no, when booting installation media
[14:42] <ralph4100_> or do you mean before I end up in busybox/intramfs?
[14:42] <Freddy__> zykotick9: ubottu thanx
[14:43] <ralph4100_> daftykins: when I startup I get a lenovo logo for a sec, then the grub menu, then a blank purple screen for a while until it shifts to busybox/intramfs
[14:43] <warped-coder> daftykins: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/9233424
[14:43] <warped-coder> daftykins: brb
[14:44] <vroomfondel> doing a "unzip -p myzipfile.zip | dd if=- of=/dev/sdc" doesn't accept stdin as input. is there another way ?
[14:44] <k2gremlin> Interesting, my plex server dropped from 12watts idle to around 3 watts idle after the update I did to it this morning lol
[14:44] <daftykins> warped-coder: yeah i wouldn't have installed it there, i think it needs partnering up with a driver as per a guide online (maybe try nvidia-319)
[14:45] <daftykins> k2gremlin: this isn't a channel for off topic chat i'm afraid, support only. #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[14:45] <k2gremlin> Sorry man
[14:46] <daftykins> ralph4100_: hrmm i wouldn't think it likely but maybe it doesn't like you having so many partitions
[14:46] <daftykins> ralph4100_: hrmm hang on do you mind booting into a live session and coming back on here again from it?
[14:47] <MacroMan> I have read advice saying it's best to turn off DNS recursion in Bind9.
[14:50] <TJ-> vroomfondel: just omit any mention of if= and dd will read stdin. e.g. echo "test" | dd of=/tmp/test.dd.txt
[14:51] <vroomfondel> thanks, just read the manpage
[14:52] <ralph4100_> daftykins: I'm actually booted into the real install via the grub console commands right now
[14:53] <ralph4100_> daftykins, would that work as well?
[14:53] <daftykins> ralph4100_: oh so you have to manually do it then it's fine? have you tried an update-grub since?
[14:53] <daftykins> "sudo update-grub"
[14:53] <warped-coder> daftykins: do you think 319 is a safer choice?
[14:53] <ralph4100_> daftykins: I ran boot-repair and it repaired my grub menu
[14:54] <daftykins> warped-coder: just try a few versions, no harm in it
[14:54] <ralph4100_> daftykins, but still wouldn't let me boot
[14:54] <ralph4100_> daftykins, will update-grub do something different?
[14:54] <daftykins> ralph4100_: but yeah this is a totally silly idea but if you could run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install smartmontools pastebinit" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb | pastebinit"
[14:54] <schoppenhauer> hello. I noticed that "sux" is removed from ubuntu. how can I (without having to mess around manually with xauth) su to another user and xauthing it?
[14:54] <ralph4100_> daftykins, last time I ran update-grub windows was missing from my grub menu
[14:54] <daftykins> ralph4100_: i would hope that last time it was down to the mix of legacy and EFI
[14:55] <TJ-> ralph4100: weird that the busybox screenshot is showing hard drive errors (unable to communicate)
[14:55] <daftykins> TJ-: yeah i spotted that, wanted to confirm SMART - but i think it might be more kernel related than bad disk
[14:55] <nana_> kj
[14:55] <nana_> hallo
[14:55] <hylian> nana_: hello
[14:55] <nana_> wie geht es dir ?
[14:56] <warped-coder> daftykins: nvidia-319 or -updates?
[14:56] <hylian> nana_: only speak english, sorry.
[14:56] <DJones> !de | nana_
[14:56] <nana_> i am looking for a software to manage my cybercafe
[14:56] <nana_> can some body help me?
[14:56] <daftykins> warped-coder: whichever you feel like typing :>
[14:57] <hylian> nana_: that's a vague question, could you be more specific? Looking for net usage control, for instance?
[14:57] <ralph4100> daftykins, here are results http://paste.ubuntu.com/9233651/
[14:57] <Deepfriedice> nana_: What are you wanting to do?
[14:58] <ralph4100> TJ, yes - I was getting a lot of /by-uuid missing errors before logging in via setting the partition/kernel/initrd manually in grub console
[14:58] <TJ-> daftykins: ralph4100 Could be an issue with AHCI/RAID/IDE mode selected for the drive channel, in the firmware, but not clear why a manual boot works unless it is trying to read beyond end of disk (sector failing is 1,859,152,224)
[14:58] <daftykins> ralph4100: hrmm, you have 4 pending sectors which means your disk has been found to have some issues, you should back it up ideally
[14:58] <ralph4100> daftykins, I did do a system image yesterday - so I'm good there. have spilled drinks twice on laptop but has still worked, maybe that? haha
[14:59] <daftykins> ralph4100: lol oh dear that's not good.
[14:59] <adsc> is there a recommended passphrase generator for encrypting LVM partitions? Or other guidelines I should follow?
[14:59] <nana_> i want to control the time that a custumer take to connect to a computer. to control printers
[14:59] <TJ-> daftykins: ralph4100: also, I wonder if the drive has a HPA (host protected area) that was disabled originally and is now enabled, causing reads near the end of the drive to fail - that can happen when otherwise identically size drives are swapped in
[14:59] <daftykins> TJ-: ralph4100 i don't really like how messy and numerous the partitions are - if it were me i'd nuke the entire disk and clean install win8.1 followed by ubuntu with a more sane partition layout - sound like overkill?
[14:59] <TJ-> daftykins: Yes :p
[14:59] <daftykins> hah
[14:59] <daftykins> well the disk is faulty now
[15:00] <daftykins> so it needs more serious action
[15:00] <daftykins> ralph4100: when i get disks with pending sectors i zero fill them to force the drive to remap any others that have issues
[15:00] <ralph4100> hmm ... would prefer to avoid if possible as lots of things setup on windows
[15:00] <compdoc> daftykins, bad idea
[15:00] <daftykins> compdoc: no it's not.
[15:00] <roboteer_> test
[15:00] <compdoc> yeah, its really dumb
[15:00] <warped-coder> daftykins: I ran the command apt-get install nvidia-319, and looking at the output it seems that it installs bits of 331 for some reason (like: setting up nvidia-319 (331.89-0ubuntu5)) and such. is that healthy?
[15:00] <ralph4100> daftykins - maybe I could format some of the system partitions that are for easy recovery?
[15:01] <daftykins> roboteer_: i'd like you to stop that today.
[15:01] <daftykins> compdoc: 100% disagree with you
[15:01] <jmadero> hi all - last night I ran the exact same rsync command twice - my understanding was after the first time, nothing else should be transfered (as nothing new was added), instead I see literally the same output of >f..T..... both times
[15:01] <jmadero> which implies that the files were sent twice
[15:01] <compdoc> the drive should have no pending or reallocted sectors. if it does, its dying
[15:02] <daftykins> compdoc: not always - forcing it to fully remap lets you find out if it's a small set or a more serious problem
[15:02] <daftykins> if the user has backups it's a non-issue
[15:03] <daftykins> ralph4100: yeah that'd be good, to reduce how many of them there are... although i think the EFI spec needs to keep at least 4 in total for Windows
[15:04] <daftykins> ralph4100: i note that your system has that separate SSD as well, which is presumably transparent to Windows - it's kind of odd ubuntu hasn't tried to do anything with it for boot
[15:04] <icebrain> hi, is there any way to recover a system that's missing a bunch of files in /bin (bash, rm, tar, etc) without having to reinstall the whole system?
[15:04] <warped-coder> daftykins: same results with installing 319 :(
[15:04] <daftykins> icebrain: not really
[15:04] <ralph4100> daftykins - yes supposedly that is used to speed up boot w/ windows although I'm not sure if it is working
[15:04] <daftykins> warped-coder: as in, low graphics message?
[15:05] <Deepfriedice> icebrain: Re-installing would almost definitely be easier
[15:05] <daftykins> icebrain: +1 to Deepfriedice
[15:05] <ralph4100> daftykins, one question I have is - regarding the boot-repair message to try to set up a boot partition at the beginning of the disk - how do I know whether I can safely do that since there is a small system partition currently there?
[15:05] <icebrain> daftykins, Deepfriedice: I feared so. Damn power loss :|
[15:05] <icebrain> thanks
[15:06] <Deepfriedice> icebrain: Do you have /home on a different partition?
[15:06] <warped-coder> daftykins: yep
[15:06] <daftykins> ralph4100: well, since your disk's health is questionable right now i would say all these suggestions are moot. you really need to buy a new disk as priority #1
[15:06] <no1_> is there a way to install w3af 1.6 in ubuntu 14.10?
[15:07] <daftykins> !info w3af
[15:07] <ralph4100> daftykins - what are you seeing in the results that shows it is questionable? also - if it is questionable that could explain problems I''ve been having in windows where system locks up with high disk activity
[15:07] <daftykins> no1_: maybe if you find a PPA, but bear in mind !ppa
