[00:00] <urkengurken> and messing with bios
[00:00] <daftykins> urkengurken: EFI ones. go check out your EFI.
[00:00] <urkengurken> UEFI Device Config?
[00:00] <daftykins> overflyer: "ip route" report your correct router IP? ("default via x.x.x.x") ?
[00:00] <mancomunado> >"This archive contains archive entries with absolute paths, which are not yet supported by ark." - Recommend me some Zip software.
[00:00] <daftykins> unzip.
[00:01] <easyOnMe> G0: right click on the terminal and choose paste that is how you paste on the terminal
[00:01] <urkengurken> ok bot options
[00:01] <urkengurken> *boot
[00:01] <easyOnMe> that is the common procedure so far I have yet to know how to do it using key board shortcut
[00:01] <wileee> !uefi | urkengurken
[00:01] <G0> @easyOnMe without the mouse
[00:01] <overflyer> its saying default via <IP_ADDRESS> dev wlan0 \ <IP_ADDRESS>/16 dev wlan0 scope link metric 1000 \ <IP_ADDRESS>/24 wlan0 proto kernel scope link <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:02] <overflyer> so yes i think its repourting to my router correctly
[00:02] <daftykins> overflyer: 169.254.x.x - that shows that your wifi link has failed as it has given itself an APIPA address.
[00:02] <overflyer> so since i only got low-medium linux skills. whats the matter here? how to fix it?
[00:03] <daftykins> well first off, why are you connecting to wifi headless?
[00:03] <urkengurken> ok my bios version is  f.14
[00:03] <urkengurken> now what
[00:03] <overflyer> because hardware wise at the moment its my only options... no more LAN ports on the router
[00:03] <Voyage> how to play hevc based videos on ubuntu?
[00:03] <daftykins> urkengurken: i already told you what to do, look up if there's a newer version
[00:04] <urkengurken> k
[00:04] <easyOnMe> what is lxc can anyone please help me on it
[00:04] <daftykins> Voyage: you'll need a fast CPU.
[00:04] <joujou> Hi guys, now I have another problem: ubuntu does not detect the wifi card. I've downloaded linux firmware non-free and installed it with dpkg, but no good. Any idea?
[00:04] <daftykins> joujou: identify it first. "lspci" for PCI cards and "lsusb" for usb devices
[00:04] <Voyage> daftykins,  but first I would need a player support. Vlc cant play it it seems
[00:05] <daftykins> Voyage: maybe not new enough, what's the source?
[00:06] <sonicx> hi anyone know  kubunto? I need help fixing the windows lay out like buttons and then next upgradeing  it to 15.04
[00:06] <overflyer> daftykins ur still with me?
[00:06] <joujou> daftykins: lspci give me network controller broadcom corporation bcm4312, is it that?
[00:06] <daftykins> overflyer: i'm more asking why you're running it command line only with wifi :P
[00:07] <daftykins> joujou: yep
[00:07] <wileee> sonicx, What is the release now?
[00:07] <daftykins> !broadcom | joujou read up here
[00:07] <overflyer> because its a server i dont wanna install a gui
[00:08] <easyOnMe> daftykins: how do I create a new user on my ubuntu laptop that is not allowed to perform sudo commands so that when I run scripts it won't mess up my laptop this is what the people in #bash channel wanted me to ask here
[00:08] <easyOnMe> according to them that is the solution to my needs
[00:08] <urkengurker> ok im back
[00:08] <zykotick9> overflyer: i'd suggest wicd-curses myself... YMMV good luck.
[00:09] <urkengurker> may you please send me the instructions again?
[00:09] <daftykins> easyOnMe: go to settings, users, create one that isn't an admin.
[00:09] <Voyage> daftykins,  video is hevc 265 and vlc I have is 2.1.6
[00:09] <daftykins> !manual | easyOnMe please seek common simple answers here in future
[00:09] <joujou> ubottu: cheers, I'm giving it a read
[00:09] <sonicx> one sec
[00:09] <daftykins> Voyage: alright, well you'll need to look up whether that version is capable.
[00:09] <easyOnMe> daftykins: ok thanks
[00:09] <overflyer> zykotick9 ... what is wics-curses?
[00:10] <G0> Hi
[00:10] <zykotick9> overflyer: it's a curses (terminal based) network manager
[00:10] <sonicx> Kdelibs version 4.13.3
[00:10] <sonicx> 32bit
[00:10] <wileee> sonicx, 14.04, 14.10?
[00:10] <urkengurker> daftykins: may you please send me the instructions again, I'm on another computer
[00:10] <Voyage> daftykins,  thats why I asked to know which players are compatible. VLC seems not to be
[00:10] <sonicx> 14.04
[00:10] <overflyer> so daftykins... you got any clue why link fails? zykotick9 so will that console based networkmanager interfere with my already set up wpsa_supplicant and interfaces config?
[00:11] <daftykins> urkengurker: nope.
[00:11] <urkengurker> ?
[00:11] <urkengurker> why not?
[00:11] <daftykins> overflyer: the IP on your interface is an APIPA address, it didn't find a DHCP server which suggests your wireless connection isn't actually working.
[00:11] <zykotick9> overflyer: possibly...
[00:11] <urkengurker> seriously
[00:12] <daftykins> overflyer: try forcing it with e.g. "sudo ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>"
[00:12] <overflyer> u got an idea what part or configfile(line) i needs fixing?
[00:12] <overflyer> ah ok
[00:12] <wileee> sonicx, Note my message starts with your nick, that is how you know I'm addressing you. You will have to upgrade through a eol to get to 15.04 that is a short support release. The other issues describe for help is all.
[00:12] <daftykins> overflyer: well i can't see your config from here
[00:12] <daftykins> overflyer: ah hang on i got the number wrong
[00:13] <urkengurker> was it.? check bios version, clear all keys?
[00:13] <daftykins> overflyer: try forcing it with e.g. "sudo ifconfig wlan0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>"
[00:13] <urkengurker> what was after
[00:13] <sonicx> so don't upgrade?
[00:14] <joujou> So, I found out what chipset it was, downloaded fwcutter .deb and installed it but it still does not detect the wifi card. Ideas?
[00:14] <wileee> sonicx, you talking to me?
[00:14] <daftykins> joujou: rebooted?
[00:15] <joujou> daftykins: I'll try and report
[00:15] <overflyer> now ip route only returns <IP_ADDRESS>/64 dev wlan0 proto kernel link src <IP_ADDRESS> which is a good thing right since no more APIPA address. however apt-get update still wont work
 ya
[00:16] <daftykins> overflyer: start simple. try "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" if that's your router's IP. (is it?) use ctrl+C to stop
[00:16] <wileee> sonicx, you can tab complete nicks, upgrade but be informed of what it entails, is my point only. If you did not understand just ask, no biggie.
[00:16] <G0> Someone speaks portuguese ?
[00:16] <urkengurken> My hp envy m4 1015dx won't boot the cd, it has something like "efi won't load" and then whenever i try to install ubuntu it won't install
[00:16] <overflyer> router gets pinged successfuly !!! :)
[00:16] <Voyage> how to play hevc based videos on ubuntu?
[00:16] <urkengurken> it just makes a loud fan noise and shuts my computer down
[00:17] <daftykins> !pt | G0
[00:17] <urkengurken> ?
[00:17] <G0> !pt
[00:17] <G0> Sorry
[00:17] <daftykins> overflyer: definitely replies with millisecond values attached and not failure messages yeah?
[00:18] <wileee> urkengurken, free volunteer help, have some patience and read links given you.
[00:18] <daftykins> urkengurken: already told you what to do.
[00:18] <urkengurken> I know
[00:18] <urkengurken> I switched to another computer
[00:18] <urkengurken> i need someone to co-py and paste the instructions again
[00:18] <overflyer> 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_seq=20 ttl=64 time=2.37ms  ...for example
[00:19] <sonicx> ok ? how do I fix the windows lay out like the "x" button to close and so on
[00:19] <sonicx> wileee; sorry keep forgeting to add your name
[00:19] <daftykins> overflyer: you got anything to take a picture with?
[00:19] <daftykins> urkengurken: write them down in future. so, any BIOS updates?
[00:20] <overflyer> a smartphone yes. why. how to send a picture in irc? O.o
[00:20] <urkengurken> daftykins: I'm not sure how to check that
[00:20] <daftykins> overflyer: throw it on imgur.com then link me here, what i'd like to see is the output of "route -n"
[00:20] <urkengurken> daftykins: don't worry ill figure it out and come back
[00:20] <daftykins> urkengurken: yeah that was the plan
[00:20] <wileee> sonicx, I have not used kubuntu is all so not sure. But be as clear as possible, maybe an image of it and a url where you load it to would help the description.
[00:21] <sonicx> wileee:umm how do i do that?
[00:21] <wileee> !pastebin | sonicx look at imagebin info
[00:22] <overflyer> Destination: <IP_ADDRESS>     Gateway: <IP_ADDRESS>        Genmask: <IP_ADDRESS>         Flags: U        Metric: 0        Ref: 0      Use:0        Iface:wlan0
[00:22] <overflyer> no pic needed ;)
[00:22] <overflyer> gateway looks bad
[00:22] <wileee> sonicx, YOU have a prtsc key, I would assume kubuntu has an image app as well.
[00:22] <daftykins> overflyer: hmm would've been preferred. yeah you've got no gateway
[00:22] <daftykins> overflyer: route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:22] <sonicx> ok one sec
[00:22] <daftykins> ^with sudio
[00:22] <daftykins> *sudo
[00:23] <overflyer> it was definitely added in interfaces...very strange. wait a sec ill do your command
[00:23] <wileee> sonicx, I doubt I can help, so just do this to the channel, if I see something I will let you know. ;)
[00:23] <overflyer> ok done. now what?
[00:24] <overflyer> still no internet connectivity. route-n now returns two lines
[00:24] <overflyer> ill upload pc to imgur
[00:24] <overflyer> pic
[00:24] <urkengurken> ok im stumped
[00:24] <urkengurken> what is "flashing a bios" do i need to do that?
[00:26] <daftykins> overflyer: should have 'UG' beside <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:26] <urkengurken> ok i think it has to be updated to f.20
[00:26] <urkengurken> its f.14 rn
[00:26] <overflyer> http://imgur.com/hMWRC2N
[00:27] <daftykins> overflyer: maybe you're just lacking DNS now. put "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" into /etc/resolv.conf
[00:27] <overflyer> it does but destination and genmask are 0 now
[00:27] <meLon> I do not have a `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` file.  Is it possible to generate this with my current settings?
[00:28] <overflyer> i put it in resolv.conf with the quotes "" ?
[00:28] <sonicx> sorry hard to use it this way
[00:28] <daftykins> overflyer: without
[00:28] <daftykins> overflyer: you can confirm DNS by getting IPs back from "nslookup ubuntu.com"
[00:28] <overflyer> done! is a reboot neccessary now?
[00:29] <overflyer> i get ip from ubuntu.com now and it is working
[00:29] <overflyer> OMG your my HERO!!!!!! THX!!!!
[00:30] <overflyer> will those configurations stay fixed now and next reboot my internet connection still works?
[00:30] <urkengurken> ok daftykins, i really confused, how do i check if i need to update it
[00:31] <daftykins> overflyer: nope, install the package "pastebinit" and share your /etc/network/interfaces - i suspect something's wrong
[00:31] <skinny> hola
[00:31] <skinny> como puedo unirme a un chanel en espanol
[00:31] <wileee> !es

[00:34] <prsn> hi! i'm running into a weird issue trying to install docker: http://pastie.org/10321148
[00:34] <easyOnMe> wileee: I just created a new user how can I verify that this new user has indeed no sudo privileges
[00:34] <prsn> basically, apt-get install succeeds, but then when i try to run it ubuntu says it's not installed and i should apt-get install it
[00:35] <daftykins> overflyer: pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[00:35] <wileee> easyOnMe, In the user app?
[00:36] <squinty> !pastebin | squinty
[00:36] <easyOnMe> wileee: like how

[00:36] <daftykins> prsn: no you just don't run it that way
[00:36] <overflyer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11970398

[00:36] <easyOnMe> wileee: oh ok
[00:37] <daftykins> overflyer: hrmm i don't know what's wrong with that, not done pure CLI wireless before
[00:37] <prsn> i didn't expect '$ docker' to do anything, but i thought it would at least pring some help or something
[00:37] <wileee> easyOnMe, I don't know the cli check ia all.
[00:37] <easyOnMe> wileee: no problem thank

[00:40] <urkengurken> daftykins: Ok, how would I check then.
[00:40] <daftykins> overflyer: well what's specified in that file is correct, it's what it's DOING to do it wrong that i don't know, so i can't give you the answer.
[00:40] <wileee> sonicx, Not sure but if you just ask the channel with the info, looks like your missing the top header with the controls and the image, someone may know.
[00:40] <squinty> easyOnMe,  might want to try  id <user>
[00:40] <daftykins> urkengurken: you said you'd go off and find out.
[00:40] <urkengurken> daftykins: ok lt me try again

[00:56] <Guest63056> can u give me the link please
[00:56] <daftykins> urkengurken: ok i can see getting you to think outside of the box is too tall an order for this evening :) 1) boot live media of ubuntu, 2) use 'dd' to zero the first 100MB of the hard disk/SSD 3) reinstall
[00:57] <nicomachus> Guest63056: There is a channel for Saudi Arabia at #ubuntu-sa
[00:57] <urkengurken> nice joke
[00:58] <Guest63056> thx guys
[00:58] <urkengurken> the problem is
[00:58] <urkengurken> I can't boot ubuntu
[00:58] <urkengurken> lol
[00:58] <urkengurken> i have the disc right here
[00:58] <urkengurken> i can record what happens
[00:59] <nicomachus> urkengurken: what are the specs on the hardware?
[00:59] <urkengurken> http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-m4-Notebook-PC-series/5296069/model/5312250/document/c03511047/
[00:59] <daftykins> urkengurken: oh so it was booting the live session.
[01:00] <daftykins> !nomodeset | urkengurken read this.
[01:00] <daftykins> urkengurken: and it wasn't a joke, i was deadly serious.
[01:00] <urkengurken> i bet you were
[01:01] <urkengurken> and yes it was trying to boot a live session and thanks dafty
[01:01] <urkengurken> for the link
[01:02] <urkengurken> where exactly do i type the code?
[01:03] <nicomachus> follow that link
[01:03] <urkengurken> ok i figured it out (finally)
[01:03] <daftykins> urkengurken: the article explains
[01:03] <daftykins> urkengurken: i'm not sure ubuntu is for you if you apply this level of patience to computer use
[01:03] <urkengurken> thanks daft for putting up with my tall ass order]
[01:04] <urkengurken> bye :)
[01:07] <cybermorpher> I got a question, If somebody may help me or at least let me know if its possible.
[01:08] <wileee> cybermorpher, do we guess?
[01:08] <cybermorpher> but i dont know if it may be related dirrectly with linux/ubuntu. Can i still ask
[01:09] <wileee> cybermorpher, ask away people will let you know.
[01:14] <urkengurken> so all i need to do is enable nomodeset?
[01:16] <daftykins> *facepalm*
[01:28] <nicomachus> poor guy
[01:29] <wileee> i've fallen and I can't apt-get
[01:31] <wvew> hello there, I made a clean install, and when I was running the first software update, I accidentally interrupted the process. now, when I restarted the machine, I have grub command line ( like this; grub>)..how can I fix this?
[01:37] <wvew> noone here to help?
[01:39] <wvew> for the first time ever nobody replying here
[01:40] <Bashing-om> wvew: Can you boot from grub boot menu in " rtecovery mode ' ?
[01:42] <wvew> Bashing-om, hi. I dont see the boot menu in the first place. after the first splash screen comes directly the black command line screens with a blinking cursor after grub>
[01:42] <wvew> and an explanation at the top that says 'minimal BASH-like line editing..."
[01:42] <mbrigdan> Hey guys, semi-recently, alt-middle click stopped letting me resize windows, it seems to paste stuff instead. Anyone know how I can get it to go back to its old behaviour?
[01:43] <nicomachus> mbrigdan: keyboard shortcuts in the system settings
[01:44] <Bashing-om> wvew: Try this: Reboot, and as soon as the bios screen clears depress and hold a shift key -> grub boot menu ?
[01:44] <mbrigdan> nicomachus, hmm, keyboard shortcuts only lists alt-F8
[01:45] <wvew> Bashing-om, sorry, what is 'depress' ?
[01:45] <mbrigdan> nicomachus, ah I found it, it was hiding in ccsm. Thanks anyways
[01:45] <Bashing-om> wvew: Depress = hold down the key .
[01:46] <wvew> Bashing-om, so I just press down a shift key?
[01:46] <Bashing-om> wvew: Yep, unless this is a UEFI system, then it is the escape key .
[01:48] <wvew> Bashing-om, yes, boot menu! it says 1.usb hdd <enter setup>
[01:50] <Bashing-om> wvew: That does not sound like the grub boot menu . Maybe you did bot await bios to clear, before pressing the shift key ?
[01:50] <Bashing-om> bot/not*
[01:51] <Bashing-om> wvew: Honestly if you re-install .. will be quicker and easier than trying to fix this fresh install .
[01:52] <wvew> oh no..
[01:53] <Bashing-om> wvew: The choice is yours, and your time . Your call .
[01:53] <wvew> Bashing-om, i think I will do that.
[01:53] <wvew> thank you for your help
[01:54] <Bashing-om> wvew: " i think I will do that. " Which ? fix or re-install .
[01:54] <wvew> Bashing-om, I meant reinstall :)
[01:56] <Bashing-om> wvew: Yeah, I assure you, that is the better option, ubless you want to spend some time learning this operating system . There is a learning curve to fix a broken install . But it is ubuntu ! It is always fixable .
[01:57] <wvew> Bashing-om..yes, I'd fixed grub before with a few commands and a live cd, but this time things looked messier :)
[02:00] <Bashing-om> wvew: :) ,, Maybe we could CHange Root into the install from the liveDVD and complete the update . possible . Won't take long to find out .
[02:02] <wvew> started reinstall already..thank you Bashing-om
[02:03] <Bashing-om> wvew: K, still the btter thing to do - (RE-)install . Then no worries later on if 'something' is not right .
[02:03] <wvew> yes
[02:04] <Techspectre> In general, how much swap space should Ubuntu be using at a time? Under normal everyday use?
[02:04] <nicomachus> daftykins: do you know if unity in 15.04 still does compositing? everything I can find is 11.04 or older
[02:05] <stack12> Techspectre: if you never max out your ram make it use none
[02:06] <Techspectre> stack12, I see. As far as I can tell, I'm not maxing out my ram. But for some reason, Ubuntu has been freezing recently. Like, I have to reset the machine, as if I were on Windows. And I'm wondering if swap space is the problem, because I have 8Gb of ram but only 6.5 Gb of swap space
[02:08] <wileee> TechChristoph_, Is it swapping?
[02:08] <wileee> Techspectre, ^^
[02:08] <wileee> sorry TechChristoph_
[02:08] <Techspectre> wileee, Well, sys monitor says it's using absolutely none of the swap
[02:08] <Techspectre> 0%
[02:10] <wileee> Techspectre, If you have a spinning HD, if it swaps it may produce this, you can monitor this, I use a conky, changing the swappiness value is an option, all this is on conjecture is all.
[02:11] <Techspectre> wileee, the swap space is located on an SSD
[02:11] <Techspectre> Is there an effective way to identify the cause for freezes
[02:12] <wileee> Techspectre, demsg might show info
[02:12] <Techspectre> wileee, could you tell me how to use that in the terminal
[02:13] <wileee> dmesg in the terminal gives a huge text output, have fun. ;)
[02:13] <Techspectre> lmao
[02:13] <Techspectre> okay thank you
[02:14] <Techspectre> lmao I have no clue what I'm looking at
[02:14] <Techspectre> and there's so much data it would take ages to identify the problem this way
[02:14] <wileee> Techspectre, there is no magic answer, I gave you some stuff to work with.
[02:15] <Techspectre> wileee, and I appreciate it
[02:16] <Techspectre> I guess the first step to take will be to run stress on the CPU and memory, see if I can get it to hang... if not, I'll chalk it up to software and read through that output
[02:17] <Bashing-om> Techspectre: Another thought, ya might keep 'top' running in a terminal, and see if an pplication becomes a resource hog .
[02:18] <Techspectre> Bashing-om, thanks I'll try that. Not familiar with top, is it the same as watching sys monitor?
[02:18] <mariano_> does ubuntu have a screen auto rotate option out of the box?
[02:19] <Bashing-om> Techspectre: Very similar .just open a terminal and type top to start the tool .
[02:19] <Bashing-om> Techspectre: ^ 'q' to quit out of top .
[02:19] <Techspectre> Bashing-om, thank you
[02:23] <Nikesh> Ehm, this is quite strange. The nm-applet is no longer appearing in my status bar. I'm on Ubuntu 14.10 using Unity.. it just disappeared.. I mean, I saw it earlier today so I don't know what happened to it. Any ideas how to solve this?
[02:23] <dbkaplun> What terminal editor do you guys use?
[02:23] <Nikesh> dbkaplun: I like vim
[02:24] <tim`> atom vim mode is entertaining
[02:27] <dbkaplun> What do you guys think of slap editor?  No point in going left 8 times when you can 8h in vim, or deleting 5 times to fix alignment when == in vim will do the same. Looks pretty and maybe Sublime users might like it though
[02:35] <D30> hello all, i was trying to boot a kvm guest to an iso file hosted on local server based on this, i am basing my steps on this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet#From_a_local_server
[02:35] <D30> now when i used the iso to boot like this --location http://server1/ubuntu
[02:36] <D30> i get an error like > ERROR    Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree.
[02:36] <D30> what should be the proper url for booting from iso mounted on a local server?
[02:38] <D30> anybody?
[02:43] <Nikesh> somsip: What does `==` do that `=` doesn't? I'm testing an I don't see a difference
[02:44] <tim`> um
[02:47] <joespeakeasy> Is there a way to determine the AWS account an instance is tied to… it seems I've misplaced my instance. I can ssh into it, but the AWS account I thought it was on isn't showing any intances.
[03:11] <greezyjr> hello?
[03:11] <wolflarson> hi
[03:30] <chaos7theory> For 15.04 (or maybe above), what's the recommended file system for SSDs nowadays?
[03:38] <bedeho> anyone with experience in dual booting ubuntu and windows 8?
[03:39] <alberto> hi
[03:41] <chaos7theory> bedeho: Anytime I've tried it it messed up Windows' boot loader.
[03:41] <wileee> bedeho, Help is here if you outline the issue.
[03:41] <chaos7theory> bedeho: If you're doing it, my best advice is do it with the most recent stable release of Ubuntu possible
[03:41] <bedeho> chaos7theory: that seems to have have happened to me as well
[03:42] <bedeho> wilee: thanks, will explain
[03:42] <chaos7theory> Are you booting through Windows Boot Manager or GRUB?
[03:42] <bedeho> had fresh win8 installed on fresh laptop, then installed most recent ubuntu deksotp version,and now when I try to run windows from the boot manager I just get that there is some sort of disk error windows is trying to fix, but is unable to
[03:43] <bedeho> The boot manager seems like an ubuntu manager, so that would be grub I guess
[03:44] <wileee> bedeho, Did you resize windows with the ubuntu install?
[03:44] <fasdf> hi do all app running on ubuntu can also be used in linux mint ?
[03:44] <wileee> fasdf, You would have to ask mint. ;)
[03:45] <bedeho> wilee: yes, there was just one disk, so an ubuntu partition was created, which resulted in resizing the single windows partition
[03:45] <wileee> bedeho, That can be an issue, you in ubuntu now?
[03:45] <bedeho> wileee: yes
[03:45] <bedeho> it works just fine
[03:46] <wileee> bedeho, run in the ubuntu terminal sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the info
[03:46] <wileee> bedeho, let us know the ubuntu release as well.
[03:47] <chaos7theory> Do you have a recovery USB drive or DVD?
[03:48] <chaos7theory> @bedeho
[03:48] <bedeho> wilee: giving it a try
[03:48] <wileee> bedeho, cool, you want the bots info on pastebin?
[03:48] <bedeho> chaos7theory: I think the machine ships with some windows version on some hidden partition or something
[03:48] <bedeho> I dont have a disk
[03:50] <wileee> bedeho, Ah, this was a oem install? the command is actually to see what is there, if a UEFI setup, do you know?
[03:51] <bedeho> wilee: not sure I understand, what is UEFI?
[03:51] <bedeho> wilee: http://pastebin.com/64r4em13
[03:51] <bedeho> also not sure how I find my ubuntu version
[03:52] <wileee> bedeho, UEFI Is the new no bios safe boot setup, a gpt partition setup.
[03:52] <wileee> you have gpt
[03:53] <bedeho> gpt?
[03:53] <wileee> bedeho, You will need better help than me, we will have to fighure out a few things great help here though.
[03:53] <wileee> !uefi | bedeho just info as of now
[03:54] <bedeho> ok, not sure entirely what to make of this, I just followed the recommended steps for getting dual boot to work...
[03:55] <wileee> bedeho, under a gpt scenario? Not sure you followed the correct source is all.
[03:56] <wileee> bedeho, Things have changed since this uefi has been around with dualboots, you just need a helper whom can check the wrk you done and get you the right help. ;)
[03:57] <wileee> work you've*
[03:58] <wileee> bedeho, Not saying you can't do this, just a suggestion is all.
[04:00] <bedeho> who would you recommend I try to get to help me onthis?
[04:01] <bedeho> wileee: Not sure whom to ask
[04:01] <wileee> bedeho, seems appropriate, you came here for help, I mean here.
[04:01] <blook> anybody able to help me out with a regex really quickly? #regex is dead.
[04:02] <wileee> bedeho, Kind of slow right now, but this is a common issue in general and there are users here whom give help on uefi.
[04:03] <bedeho> wilee: thank you, will try come back then. Do you have any sort of hunch about what will be required?
[04:04] <bedeho> wilee: I dont even mind reinstalling windows, i would justl ike to avoid reinstalling ubuntu
[04:04] <wileee> bedeho, Mostly questions and some commands run, gets busier here soon.
[04:05] <bedeho> wilee: thanks!
[04:05] <wileee> or they helpers I know come on
[04:05] <wileee> no prob

[04:33] <kubuntu_> Hello, my GRUB is corrupt, how do I go about restoring it on my dual boot system with Windows 8 - UEFI. I tried Boot-Repair, it asked me to enable a repo.
[04:35] <bodhi_zazen> kubuntu_, boot-repair , enable the repo ;)
[04:35] <kubuntu_> bodhi_zazen: I can only boot into a liveUSB, how do I enable that repo that is on the HDD?
[04:40] <wileee> kubuntu_, That makes no sense is all.
[04:41] <wileee> I think you mean a partition? there was here another with that scenario
[04:43] <kubuntu_> wileee: Sorry indeed yes enable it on the linux partition while I am booted in the LiveUSB
[04:44] <wileee> kubuntu_, the sda6 the ubuntu install I believe, I had no answer is all
[04:45] <wileee> kubuntu_, THe bootrepiar wanted to reload grub and efi which you did not have in the ubuntu install, looked broken to me, but not an area I'm best at.
[04:46] <wileee> legacy install, grub in the mbr and a efi windows
[04:47] <kubuntu_> I may have found some help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2223856&s=f50a0385cabffe724133cc3237f0a49e
[04:49] <wileee> kubuntu_, Heh 3rd post oldfred, that is the guy you want to follow with anything boot, be careful is all I can say.
[04:49] <kubuntu_> wileee: I have done a backup :-)
[04:50] <wileee> kubuntu_, Good job, I learned a lot from that guy, his info is gold.
[04:50] <kubuntu_> wileee: Thanks, I'll seek his help. Is he on this channel at all?
[04:51] <wileee> kubuntu_, No, but I believe still is on the forums daily, if you post, put UEFI..etc in the header.
[04:51] <wileee> If he's there you will hear fromhim
[04:53] <wileee> great help here just a bit early is all
[04:53] <kubuntu_> What is the best time for help on here?
[04:54] <wileee> usually from within a couple hours some show through early day US time, some are in europe some in ghe US
[04:56] <kubuntu_> A couple of hours from right now?
[04:57] <wileee> kubuntu_, basically, it is not a written rule. can depend on how busy the channel gets as well.
[04:57] <kubuntu_> I understand, but in general :_)
[04:58] <kubuntu_> wileee: Thank you for all your help, I must go, but will continue later :-)
[04:58] <wileee> later  ;)
[05:04] <swap> hi
[05:21] <chaos7theory> Has anyone here attempted dual-booting Ubuntu with Windows 10 yet?
[05:22] <wileee> yes
[05:22] <wileee> same bcd since vista
[05:22] <chaos7theory> So Ubuntu detects it fine with UEFI and everything?
[05:22] <wileee> chaos7theory, I was msdos, but there should be no issue, same boot structure
[05:23] <wileee> I have not had a uefi to mess with is all
[05:24] <chaos7theory> I've had a bad history with it even with SecureBoot off, where I never got it to work <_>
[05:24] <chaos7theory> But that was with 12.04/12.10 more specifically a few years back
[05:24] <wileee> chaos7theory, some do it could be the computers setup in some, hard to say from here.
[05:25] <wileee> there were more problems it seemed around the 12.04 release, not really an accurate assessment though.
[05:29] <chaos7theory> I'll see how well it goes xD
[05:30] <chaos7theory> I did a clean install of Windows 10, though annoyingly it only dedicated 100 MB to the ESP, where from what I understand 200-300 MB is recommended especially on dualboot
[05:30] <chaos7theory> And while it says 5 GB is the minimum system requirement, is 16 GB a practical amount, especially without swap?
[05:31] <Sc00bz> is 15.04 stable or is it just me?
[05:32] <chaos7theory> Sc00bz: I don't think it's ever been said any of the non-LTS aren't stable
[05:33] <chaos7theory> Sc00bz: I personally update with every release, while sticking with LTS is probably better where time and money from setup is important
[05:44] <Sc00bz> ok thanks. Also is there an easy way or a guide to removing all the useless parts like suggestions (I don't care how cute cutemaze is)
[05:44] <bq_> i used US vpn but the remote site still display my local language not english, why is that?
[05:49] <camryfu> anyone installed 15.10?
[05:56] <LonelyDanbo> Is there any point in me trying Ubuntu to fix issues I'm having with Xubuntu, or should I try Mint instead? I'm having trouble with my graphics driver in support of Linux Steam, and also Wine.
[05:57] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: the version is important there. And what is your problem?
[05:58] <LonelyDanbo> uhm... I should get the specific text. I don't remember.
[05:58] <LonelyDanbo> for Steam, "OpenGL GLX extention not supported by display".
[05:59] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: well i had trouble with intel graphics on 14.04, but they were gone with 14.10 and 15.04
[05:59] <LonelyDanbo> for Wine... it's tricker. I did an apt-get update and apt-get I forget what, and the game I had that used to crash 3/4 times now crashes 4/4 times when trying to start.
[06:00] <LonelyDanbo> ... Oh. Yeah I'm on Xubuntu 14.04.
[06:00] <LonelyDanbo> No one seemed to suggest that a higher version would be a good idea, and the only reason against it was "LTS".
[06:01] <LonelyDanbo> Also I'm on an AMD chip.
[06:01] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: well i had to upgrade to the newest wine1.7 because had trouble with the 1.6.
[06:02] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: well for gaming i would suggest to use the newest version of *buntu
[06:03] <LonelyDanbo> Any difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu? The one person giving me advice said they're not the same and at least Steam is designed for Ubuntu.
[06:04] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: well xubuntu uses xfce and xfwm, ubuntu uses gnome and compiz, but it should not be the problem if something bad happens
[06:04] <LonelyDanbo> I also heard trying to update versions of the OS can break things so I guess I need to install a new OS on another partition regardless...
[06:05] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: it depends, but yes i do always a fresh install of my xubuntu machine
[06:05] <ronburgendy> if you're worried about steam working, I'm pretty they have both worked out of the box for me
[06:06] <ronburgendy> 14.04, and 15.04
[06:06] <LonelyDanbo> Well it's not working for me on 14.04
[06:06] <ronburgendy> try out 15.04, thats what im running now
[06:06] <ronburgendy> new kernal probably broke it
[06:06] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: like i said, 15.04 has newer software and drivers, so less bugs. 14.04 is more stable but has less "newer" stuff.
[06:06] <LonelyDanbo> so much for "LTS" being reliable.
[06:07] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: it is, but not for everything. Games need many updates and stuff.
[06:07] <ronburgendy> I just wish they had more support for drivers from AMD
[06:07] <LonelyDanbo> I guess when I get things working I should not update. :(
[06:08] <LonelyDanbo> I had it working for over a year and updating is what broke it all.
[06:08] <baizon> ronburgendy: +1 sadly :(
[06:08] <ronburgendy> thats why I make a small 35gig partition on the side with windows 7 for csgo lol
[06:08] <LonelyDanbo> well... not Steam. I didn't try installing Steam before, so I'm not sure if it was unbroken then.
[06:08] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: what ronburgendy just said. I need 20 min for a fresh install
[06:08] <baizon> with that partition i mean
[06:09] <baizon> not windows 7 :P
[06:09] <LonelyDanbo> I also had a question about the boot loader. that's the thing that lets you pick which partition to boot? I'm not sure which OS set it up, but are there incompatibilties between them? like Debian and Ubuntu? It seems to have made a bit of a mess when I installed both.
[06:10] <LonelyDanbo> I'm wondering if it's going to delete old entries and put in new ones if I install another OS or if I have to learn how to manually edit that stuff.
[06:10] <wileee> !fud | LonelyDanbo
[06:10] <wileee> this is not your crying game
[06:10] <LonelyDanbo> wileee, what?
[06:11] <pragomer1> I have ubuntu 14.04 and a rooted android device. how to realize reverse tethering? (using pc's i-net-connection for the mobile..)
[06:11] <LonelyDanbo> I'm trying to get informed before I do something stupid like the last time when I accidentally installed the OS on the wrong partition and lost my mom's wedding photos.
[06:11] <ronburgendy> lmao
[06:14] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: always remember... don't forget to backup your data first
[06:15] <crazyhorse18> what do you guys use for drawing ER diagrams... dia is awkward and takes ages even to type up one table, libreoffice draw doesn't seem to let you nicely add text to the boxes
[06:15] <ronburgendy> does anyone here use fog on ubuntu server?
[06:15] <ronburgendy> im guessing they have their own channel
[06:15] <LonelyDanbo> I can't backup. I don't have another HD.
[06:15] <ronburgendy> take it to the cloud then
[06:15] <crazyhorse18> gliffy (web) works really well but costs $100 per year, google docs doesn't allow you to connect tables properly.. i'm really at a lost
[06:15] <crazyhorse18> loss*
[06:15] <baizon> LonelyDanbo: cloud? google drive, dropbox, mega, etc.
[06:17] <LonelyDanbo> Uhg. I ... I guess I'll just acknowledge your advice and say nothing more. :|
[06:25] <LonelyDanbo> do I have to do more identifying of partitions before I try to wipe my Debian installation and install another version of Xubuntu on it beside my older Xubuntu? running "df" seems to have identified where my current Xubuntu is, but an fdisk -l shows a lot more than just 2 partitions of the 2 OSes I have.
[06:27] <ronburgendy> can you mount the partitions and see what is in them?
[06:29] <LonelyDanbo> the Debian's partition with pictures and such is already mounted, though I'm not sure which /dev/sdbwhatever it is. oh wait, the size should make that clear.
[06:31] <ronburgendy> if you can pastebin I could tell you whats what
[06:31] <Blinkiz> Hello. I was tuning my display setup (Control panel -> Displays) and after that am having problem scrolling with my mouse wheel. When scrolling fast the window hops up to the top, irritating. What has happened? It is the same with all different kinds of mouses, tried a couple so it is not hardware problem but software
[06:32] <LonelyDanbo> ronburgendy http://pastebin.com/rzYqQ9gM
[06:33] <LonelyDanbo> sda7 is Xubuntu. I'm guessing sda6 is Debian. something tells me that 6 & 7 are inside 2?

[07:27] <madiba> trying to set environment path and I can't find .profile, .bashrc or .bash in my home folder. Running Ubuntu 14.04
[07:33] <wileee> madiba,  the (.) means hidden   ctrl-h
[07:34] <madiba> I have done that but can't either file.
[07:34] <elton> ls -la home folder
[07:34] <madiba> @elton, no such files!
[07:34] <elton> just create them?
[07:35] <elton> they don’t exist by default
[07:35] <madiba> @elton, ok. link to any sample content?
[07:36] <chebit> Which is better? Ati or nVidia
[07:36] <illskillz> liek amd is better when cheaper
[07:37] <elton> really you can put anything inside .bashrc
[07:37] <illskillz> and nvidiya is liek when you wan sum fps boost per more money
[07:37] <elton> you can put echo “Welcome, you have logged in”
[07:37] <illskillz> battlefield is liek go with nvidia
[07:37] <chebit> tanks illskillz
[07:37] <elton> on login it just looks for those files and execute whatever is on there
[07:37] <madiba> @elton thanks.
[07:38] <elton> and you can test your environment variable by $printValue to see if it got loaded
[07:42] <Triffid_Hunter> hi, how do I install the cp210x.ko kernel module? dpkg-query -S doesn't find it, and apt-cache search doesn't find anything useful either
[07:44] <OerHeks> !find cp210x.ko
[07:45] <OerHeks> it seems it is already in your kernel
[07:45] <wolfgang> hi
[07:49] <Triffid_Hunter> OerHeks: hm looks like the kernel is old, and apt-get install linux-image spits out a huge list of versions and types and tells me to be more specific. how do I find out what type of kernel is currently installed? I already know how to get the version with uname -a. I don't know if I want a "lpae" kernel or not
[07:49] <Lihis> Hi all. I have set apticron recently, it sends me the email from the custom sender address which I defined but apt-listchanges does not come from same address which I defined at apticron?
[07:51] <bcx_> hi all, ubuntu novice here... was wondering if someone could talk me through server redundancy? i have 2 servers running ubuntu 14.04, not sure how to have 1 mirror the other...
[07:51] <OerHeks> Triffid_Hunter, so you claim those kernels are old, and you wanjt PAE?
[07:51] <OerHeks> bcx_, you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server too
[07:52] <bcx_> ah cool, thanks for that tip
[07:52] <ronburgendy> bcx_ have you looked into rsync? Never used it but thought id throw it out there
[07:52] <bcx_> i've done some googling, but i felt like i was going in circles
[07:52] <bcx_> hang on, let me look it up :)
[07:53] <OerHeks> rsync is indeed a fast solution
[07:56] <bcx_> i am looking at the example on the rsync site... if i just want to sync my /var/www stuff, can i assume that the "export PATH=$PATH:" should be /var/www on the 2nd server?
[07:56] <Ububegin> I am at the root folder.. how do i find the size of all the folders here.. If i type du -lh * .. it starts recursing to every sub folder
[07:57] <Ben64> Ububegin: have you checked "man du"
[07:59] <Ububegin> Ben64 : i tried du -c  /opt ... and it still recurses
[07:59] <VOID001__> Hi , I cannot use gcc -m32 What dependencies do I need?
[07:59] <VOID001__> I cannot find via search engine..
[08:00] <somsip> Ububegin: it has to recurse to find the size of each file in the sub dirs and get the overall size used
[08:00] <VOID001__> Hope anyone could give me the answer
[08:00] <Ububegin> somsip: but i just want it to display the size of the entire folder and not all the subdirectores and files etc
[08:01] <Triffid_Hunter> OerHeks: it has a 3.10 kernel, apt-get has 3.19-generic and 3.19-generic-lpae.. anyway, what's the risk of this board getting bricked if I update the kernel?
[08:01] <Ben64> Ububegin: yeah, check the man page again for the switches you want
[08:01] <somsip> Ububegin: -d (max-depth) read the man as suggested
[08:02] <VOID001__> Could anyone please tell me how to enable gcc -m32 on Ubuntu QAQ
[08:02] <VOID001__> I don't know what dependencies to install
[08:03] <fidel_> VOID001__: what error do you get?
[08:03] <VOID001__> When I build wine from source
[08:03] <VOID001__> run ./configure
[08:04] <Ben64> why are you trying to do that
[08:04] <VOID001__> then It shows checking whether gcc -m32
[08:04] <VOID001__> It said no
[08:05] <Ububegin> somsip: just used -s operator.. this seems quite good
[08:05] <somsip> Ububegin: -s summarise, as detailed in the man page, is equal to -d=0
[08:05] <VOID001__> I don't know which dep for Ubuntu to enable 32 bit develop
[08:05] <Ben64> VOID001__: then just use wine from the repositories
[08:06] <VOID001__>  = =
[08:06] <VOID001__> I need to code on wine TAT
[08:06] <VOID001__> I need to build it from source
[08:07] <elton> hi is anyone available to help? I need help upgrading linux kernel. I extract tar -xvf linux-3.18.19
[08:07] <elton> and i don’t know what to do next
[08:07] <somsip> elton: if you need to ask that question, dont upgrade the linux kernel
[08:08] <elton> well i need it to set-up docker
[08:08] <mcphail> VOID001__: if you really _need_ to build something from source, rather than use whatever is in the repositories, a quick tip is to use "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename" to install everything you need. Works 98% of the time
[08:08] <somsip> elton: really, I'm not being sarcastic. It's not something to do unless you know what you're doing
[08:08] <VOID001__> But I think this time it doesn't work ...
[08:08] <VOID001__> Thank you all the same
[08:09] <elton> well i guess my question is i want to upgrade the linux kernel
[08:09] <elton> what are my options
[08:09] <somsip> elton: the answer would be to use the one in the repo. Cmopiling the kernel from source is not supported here
[08:10] <elton> ah i see
[08:10] <richardreloaded> is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1246272 ever going to be fixed?
[08:10] <mcphail> VOID001__: wine is a bit tricky because it wants to build a 32bit binary and you are probably running a 64bit Ubuntu version. This is a common snag, and a bit of basic searching on the wine website will answer your questions
[08:10] <richardreloaded> at all?
[08:10] <mcphail> VOID001__: building wine is not on topic here
[08:10] <elton> i’m trying to set-up environment and prereq is that i need linux kernel 3.8+
[08:10] <VOID001__> OK , I see ~ thanks
[08:10] <mcphail> !mainline | elton
[08:11] <elton> nice
[08:11] <elton> i think that is what i need ty!
[08:11] <mcphail> elton: what version of Ubuntu are you running if your kernel is <3.8?
[08:13] <elton> ah this box is still 12 lts
[08:14] <elton> i think i am going to upgrade to 14 lts lol
[08:15] <mcphail> elton: probably a better idea than messing about with new kernels
[08:15] <elton> yeah definately
[08:20] <bcx_> thanks to everyone recommending rsync - i've checked it out, looks good. not too hard to use, especially with the GUI (grsync) - one question though, what's the difference between backing up and synchronizing?
[08:20] <bcx_> probably a dumb question :)
[08:21] <somsip> bcx_: back - copy everything from A to B. Sync - copy from  A to B and from B to A depending on what's missing, filestamps, etc
[08:21] <fidel_> bcx_: most likely unidirectional vs biderectional. refering to texts in grsync?
[08:21] <somsip> s/back/backup
[08:22] <bcx_> i mean what makes them different. if i back up 1 server to another, what makes that different from syncing 1 server to another
[08:22] <fidel_> oe direction vs two direction
[08:22] <somsip> bcx_: backup only goes one way - from source to destination. Sync goes both ways
[08:23] <bcx_> ahh
[08:23] <bcx_> great, thank you
[08:29] <richardreloaded> greetings to canonical. due to #1246272 my organization is forced to migrate from ubuntu to fedora... The accounting department regularly fails to login because their passwords are not entered correctly on a random keyboard layout
[08:30] <richardreloaded> which causes me a shitload of work and anger
[08:31] <richardreloaded> management was close to migrate back to windows. you guys fucked up big time
[08:32] <somsip> richardreloaded: this channel is staffed by volunteers, not canonical
[08:32] <richardreloaded> oh... sorry
[08:32] <mcphail> richardreloaded: please moderate your language
[08:32] <somsip> richardreloaded: you can go for the paid support, or you are relying on the community to help, which is here
[08:32] <k1l> and that bug sounds more like a general "i press the language cycle key binding" "bug". but thanks for your rant, that will help _a lot_
[08:33] <richardreloaded> it isnt... i experience that bug myself quite regularly
[08:33] <richardreloaded> gdm just randomly changes the layout
[08:33] <richardreloaded> before you even touch the keyboard
[08:34] <Tzunamii> richardreloaded: Did you try the second to last 'solution' to see if it works properly after that? (in the bug thread)
[08:34] <k1l> richardreloaded: good that ubuntu uses lightdm. and then good luck with fedora having the same bug.
[08:34] <richardreloaded> excuse my anger... just found out i have to work the whole weekend because of this mess
[08:34] <shadow193> Hi all, does anyone know how can I get channel list in irssi ??
[08:34] <somsip> !alis | shadow193
[08:35] <richardreloaded> fedora does not have the bug. the testsystems already work stable...
[08:35] <richardreloaded> in fact i had to migrate some workstations earlier to solve the problem. and it did solve it
[08:35] <Tzunamii> richardreloaded: Please respond to my Q
[08:36] <richardreloaded> yes. tried everything. just reduced the frequency a bit
[08:37] <richardreloaded> still i get calls every day that people can't login because their passwords contain either y or z
[08:37] <richardreloaded> and we're using QWERTZ
[08:41] <richardreloaded> also nslcd regularly fails to start because upstart activates it before the network is up. solved by "while !
[08:42] <richardreloaded> "while ! [ -f /var/run/nslcd/nslcd.tkt ]; do service nslcd restart; sleep 2; done
[08:42] <richardreloaded> in /etc/rc.local
[08:44] <richardreloaded> a really beautiful solution that every administrator loves to have in his config :)
[08:46] <_a00_> Anyone able to point Mr to removing everyhig from full ubuntu unity install ?? I need 4 apps along with networking after a mate core install. Don't need unity or any other apps...
[08:47] <_a00_> Have to use a full installation CD, cannot use minimal install CD which is why I am asking...
[08:51] <_a00_> I could use ubuntu mate CD but the person I am doing this for requires that I use a unity CD for some reason...
[08:52] <OerHeks> _a00_, good luck then
[08:53] <Tebbo> ugh
[08:53] <Tebbo> trying to get league of legends to run
[08:53] <Tebbo> finally got it installed, but launching takes forever and patching is fucking eternal
[08:54] <OerHeks> Tebbo, please watch your language, keep this channel family friendly, thanks
[08:54] <Tebbo> loool
[08:54] <Tebbo> dude really i got cursed out the other day
[08:54] <Tebbo> but whatever
[08:55] <Flannel> _a00_: The simplest way would simply be to compare the package lists of each, and then remove/install the appropriate packages.  You can get the package lists via the manifest file (for instance: http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.04/ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.manifest)
[08:55] <OerHeks> you might want to visit wineHQ, for game help
[08:55] <Idle82848> will removing flash plugin stop youtube videos from working?
[08:55] <Tebbo> idle82848 no
[08:55] <Tebbo> youtube is html5
[08:55] <Flannel> _a00_: That may not be the smartest way, but it's mechanically the simplest.
[08:55] <Idle82848> ok thanks :)
[08:55] <_a00_> Flannel: Thanks :)
[08:55] <OerHeks> Flannel, but some packages removes the whole unity-desktop
[08:56] <Flannel> OerHeks: yes, but he wants to remove the whole unity desktop, so that's a bonus.
[08:56] <Flannel> _a00_: Also, remember to purge, not remove!
[09:02] <elmcrest> hey everybody. I have to run dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration after every reboot. google didn't bring up working solutions. any hints? (14.04 lts)
[09:11] <havinagiggle> hi guys, i want to dual boot ubuntu with win10, i have win10 installed on a 500gb ssd and want to install ubuntu alongside windows on the same ssd.
[09:12] <k1l> havinagiggle: that just works like a regular dualboot
[09:12] <havinagiggle> i installed ubuntu on an old laptop no problem. but my current thinkpad s440 has uefi and i am intimidated by that, three wikis only to install ubuntu?
[09:12] <cfhowlett> !dualboot | havinagiggle
[09:13] <havinagiggle> this works with uefi?
[09:13] <havinagiggle> i have to disable the secure chip in bios, right?
[09:14] <EriC^^> havinagiggle: just be sure to boot ubuntu in uefi mode
[09:14] <cfhowlett> !uefi | havinagiggle
[09:14] <k1l> ubuntu should work with uefi
[09:14] <EriC^^> havinagiggle: no, you don't
[09:14] <raju> hi
[09:14] <raju> wat is dis
[09:14] <cfhowlett> !topic | raj
[09:14] <havinagiggle> ok i can boot into ubuntu mate live usb stick no problem even with activated secure ship?
[09:15] <EriC^^> yeah, secure boot
[09:15] <havinagiggle> because in hyper-v (virtualisation software from microsoft) i need to disable the emulated secure chip to install ubuntu
[09:15] <raju> kernel
[09:15] <EriC^^> maybe it doesn't have the ubuntu signed key or something
[09:16] <EriC^^> havinagiggle: you should be able to boot with secureboot enabled
[09:16] <raju> how to use skype
[09:16] <k1l> raju: install it, use it.
[09:16] <cfhowlett> !skype | raju
[09:17] <raju> thnks undrstand
[09:17] <raju> can i download mp3 song or vidio song in unbuntu how
[09:17] <cfhowlett> raju, errr, download song, save song ... ?
[09:19] <havinagiggle> Eric^^ you said to me i should be booting ubunti in uefi mode, what did you mean by that?
[09:20] <raju> when i am power on my laptop one erroe come like 06225 probe
[09:20] <raju> probe failed
[09:20] <cfhowlett> raju, but it boots up anyway, right?
[09:21] <EriC^^> havinagiggle: when you boot press try ubuntu then open a terminal and type ls -ld /sys/firmware/efi
[09:21] <EriC^^> if it exists then you've booted in uefi mode
[09:22] <havinagiggle> thanks that would have been fatal to not know this information right?^^
[09:22] <EriC^^> havinagiggle: if it doesn't then you're in legacy mode and you need to boot in uefi mode otherwise it won't install correctly if windows is in uefi mode
[09:22] <EriC^^> not really, you'd have to reinstall again, or convert to uefi
[09:23] <cfhowlett> havinagiggle, little overly dramatic there, Hoss.  There are no recorded instances of ubuntu caused fatalities
[09:23] <EriC^^> lol
[09:23] <havinagiggle> ..
[09:23] <raju> lol
[09:24] <havinagiggle> thanks cfhowlett, this picture really helps http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445084.png
[09:24] <havinagiggle> xD
[09:24] <havinagiggle> resolution is amazing
[09:25] <k1l> havinagiggle: since you use a german provider, why not look into the really good german wiki at wiki.ubuntuusers.de ?
[09:25] <havinagiggle> according to the wiki, if the live usb stick is set to boot in uefi the bootup looks like this http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445084.png
[09:25] <cfhowlett> havinagiggle, uefi boot will be in black and white.
[09:25] <havinagiggle> i have no problem understanding english
[09:27] <ubuntunoob> Hi guys, I'm having troubles mounting CD, could you please help? I've been googling for some time and trying to make it work, but had no luck.
[09:27] <ubuntunoob> When I try 'mount /dev/sr0' here's what it prints: 'wrong fs type, bad option, bad
[09:27] <ubuntunoob> superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error'
[09:27] <raju> kuch bolo
[09:27] <ubuntunoob> Here's the output of dmesg | tail when I try mounting: http://pastebin.com/NxAzvFes
[09:27] <cfhowlett> !english | raju,
[09:27] <k1l> havinagiggle: its not about understanding english, its about the really good wiki which is only in german......
[09:27] <k1l> havinagiggle: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Efi_Grundlagen
[09:27] <cfhowlett> k1l, I thought that was translated to English!  No?
[09:27] <havinagiggle> k1l :)
[09:27] <raju> k
[09:28] <EriC^^> ubuntunoob: try mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt
[09:28] <k1l> cfhowlett: i am not aware of.
[09:28] <EriC^^> ubuntunoob: or mount -t iso9660 -o loop /dev/sr0 /mnt
[09:28] <havinagiggle> k1l that was the wiki where i had to read 3 wiki pages and was intimitated
[09:29] <bazhang> run the page through google translate then
[09:29] <havinagiggle> so i will try installing it now :o
[09:30] <havinagiggle> thanks
[09:30] <havinagiggle> till later
[09:30] <havinagiggle> with two bricked partition
[09:31] <ubuntunoob> EriC^^,  nope, still no. Now it prints '[ 2657.176741] sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] unaligned transfer' in dmesg.
[09:36] <ubuntunoob> So, anyone?..
[09:38] <k1l> ubuntunoob: what cd is it? is it known to work?
[09:38] <x0rg> i'm bored
[09:38] <x0rg> stuck at the airport lol
[09:39] <cfhowlett> !ot | x0rg,
[09:39] <sheratan> hols
[09:39] <sheratan> ups
[09:39] <sheratan> hola
[09:40] <sheratan> tengo un problema con mysql-server-5.6
[09:40] <sheratan> alguien podria ayudarme?
[09:40] <k1l> !es | sheratan
[09:40] <ubuntunoob> k1l, The disk itself or the CD/DVD drive? It works fine under Windows. And here's the specs of device: http://pastebin.com/kT7cuNbA
[09:40] <sheratan> hello
[09:41] <sheratan> i have a problem with mysql-server-5.6
[09:41] <k1l> sheratan: what problem?
[09:42] <k1l> ubuntunoob: the cd?
[09:42] <cfhowlett> k1l, USB is also an option?
[09:42] <sheratan> the term said this " dpkg: error al procesar el paquete mysql-server-5.6 (--configure):  el paquete mysql-server-5.6 no está listo para configurarse  no se puede configurar (estado actual `half-installed') Se encontraron errores al procesar:  mysql-server-5.6 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[09:43] <sheratan> it's a bug, but i don't know the solution or alternative
[09:45] <ubuntunoob> k1l, the cd in question is a bootable Windows disk, I want to make .iso of it for future use. I tried other disks that I have laying around (both CD and DVD), neither of them seem to work.
[09:45] <McEE> Hi,what does the clean-script in apt-mirror is for exactly ?
[09:48] <cfhowlett> McEE, paste it.  the documentation should explain.
[09:48] <EriC^^> ubuntunoob: did you try with /dev/cdrom
[09:48] <McEE> cfhowlett, never bother if you dont know what i am talking about...
[09:49] <EriC^^> ubuntunoob: try just mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /mnt
[09:49] <EriC^^> McEE: don't be rude
[09:50] <ubuntunoob> EriC^^, 'mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock'
[09:59] <zvasafsaf> Why does Ubuntu have Multiverse and Universe repos and Debian doesn't?
[10:00] <cfhowlett> zvasafsaf, different distro's, different mirros
[10:00] <zvasafsaf> cfhowlett:Do Multiverse and Universe receive less support?
[10:01] <popey> kinda
[10:01] <popey> universe is community supported
[10:01] <popey> main is canonical supported
[10:01] <cfhowlett> !repos | zvasafsaf
[10:01] <baizon> zvasafsaf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[10:02] <baizon> zvasafsaf: or the fast way: "Universe - Community maintained software, i.e. not officially supported software. ", "Multiverse - Software that is not free. "
[10:02] <zvasafsaf> Thanks, will give it a read
[10:02] <zvasafsaf> baizon:The community releases bug fixes and uploads to the repos?
[10:02] <k1l> !sru | zvasafsaf
[10:02] <baizon> zvasafsaf: well yes
[10:02] <popey> yes zvasafsaf
[10:03] <popey> zvasafsaf: technically the same can be said of all the packages in all the sections
[10:03] <popey> because canonical is part of the community, and thus "the community" maintains all the packages
[10:04] <zvasafsaf> Do Universe and Multiverse packages receive updates in LTS even if it's not a security vulnerability?
[10:04] <baizon> zvasafsaf: yes
[10:04] <cfhowlett> zvasafsaf, yep
[10:04] <popey> updates as in bug and security fixes, yes.
[10:04] <k1l> zvasafsaf: its not that they get version upgrades.
[10:04] <cfhowlett> zvasafsaf, as not all packages update, I also enable backports.  YMMV
[10:05] <zvasafsaf> Okay, it's not as bad as I thought then. I thought Debian would be a better choice for me because I thought it supported like 50k packages instead of Ubuntu's 10k
[10:05] <popey> zvasafsaf: not sure where those numbers come from
[10:05] <baizon> zvasafsaf: ubuntu also has ppa ;)
[10:06] <baizon> zvasafsaf: you know that ubuntu takes all his packages from debian, right?
[10:06] <popey> ubuntu pulls in most of the debian archive too
[10:06] <zvasafsaf> popey:Debian main repos and Ubuntu main
[10:06] <popey> thats not a good gauge
[10:07] <zvasafsaf> I am worried that if I install stuff that isn't Unity and Gnome packages in Ubuntu from the Universe and Multiverse repos that my system will become an unstable mess
[10:07] <popey> nah
[10:07] <baizon> wont happen
[10:07] <popey> this isn't arch ;)
[10:07] <baizon> only ppa can break your system
[10:08] <zvasafsaf> Is it okay to upgrade to LTS from non-LTS and then set my update manager to only update to the next LTS or do I need to do a clean install?
[10:09] <baizon> zvasafsaf: its ok, but i personally always do a fresh install
[10:09] <popey> i wouldn't skip versions
[10:09] <zvasafsaf> baizon:Why?
[10:09] <popey> but you can
[10:09] <popey> I always upgrade :)
[10:09] <zvasafsaf> popey:I mean upgrade between versions then get to LTS then skip until the next LTS
[10:09] <baizon> zvasafsaf: its faster, no need to upgrade, just install :)
[10:09] <zvasafsaf> popey:Because LTS is better, right?
[10:09] <popey> yes, you can LTS->LTS
[10:10] <popey> "better" is subjective
[10:10] <zvasafsaf> popey:But can I go non-LTS->non-LTS->LTS->LTS?
[10:10] <popey> yes
[10:10] <zvasafsaf> LTS is more stable, like Debian?
[10:10] <popey> no
[10:10] <popey> thats not what LTS is for
[10:10] <zvasafsaf> baizon:But then you have to reinstall all your packages and configs and everything...
[10:10] <baizon> zvasafsaf: what you cant to is this: 13.04 -> 14.04.
[10:10] <popey> LTS is for longer support period
[10:10] <popey> baizon: actually you can :) we just don't recommend it
[10:11] <zvasafsaf> popey:So it is not for consumers?
[10:11] <popey> zvasafsaf: wat?
[10:11] <popey> zvasafsaf: you are making some wild leaps here :)
[10:11] <baizon> popey: you need to 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04, or am i wrong?
[10:11] <popey> baizon: we recommend that, yes. but it's possible to skip
[10:11] <zvasafsaf> popey:I want to use LTS because it has less bugs
[10:11] <baizon> ou ok, never skipped :D
[10:11] <popey> zvasafsaf: LTS doesn't mean less bugs
[10:12] <zvasafsaf> popey:I thought it did?
[10:12] <popey> zvasafsaf: LTS means supported for longer, hence "Long Term Support"
[10:12] <popey> meaning, you install it and don't have to upgrade for years
[10:12] <zvasafsaf> Is there a distro like Ubuntu but less buggy?
[10:12] <popey> wat
[10:12] <baizon> zvasafsaf: i tried them all, ubuntu has very few bugs ;)
[10:12] <bazhang> zvasafsaf, try ##linux
[10:12] <pupil> zvasafsaf: what bug do you find?
[10:13] <zvasafsaf> popey:I like Ubuntu because it has good support and easy ecryptfs and easy everything, but it is released every 6 months so is very buggy
[10:13] <baizon> zvasafsaf: thats why there is a LTS version ;)
[10:13] <baizon> so you dont have to upgrade every 6 months
[10:13] <pupil> zvasafsaf: that's why we recommend LTS version
[10:14] <popey> is released every 6 months does not mean "is buggy"
[10:14] <cfhowlett> popey, your choice.  Personally, I find I don't truly NEED the shiniest, newest packages.  LTS only works just fine.     Moving on
[10:32] <Balder_> Hello guys
[10:32] <Balder_> On ubuntu with gnome 3.16 whats best ati driver to use the open one or fglrx ?
[10:34] <EriC^^> Balder_: depends if you need the gpu, unity runs better on the open one for me
[10:34] <EriC^^> temps are lower
[10:34] <Balder_> i dont unity one gnome shell but this open driver feels alot snappier and stable
[10:34] <Balder_> use*
[10:35] <mcphail> Balder_: depends on a few things, including your card. I much prefer the open driver for my AMD APU
[10:35] <Balder_> my card is 7850
[10:38] <bfahmi> exit
[10:38] <bfahmi> Quit
[10:38] <Balder_> ur here
[10:39] <mcphail> Balder_: try them both and see what works best for you
[10:40] <Balder_> in terms of stability etc this open feels better so far i can play 4k videos on youtube with out any lagging..

[10:42] <Auctus> the lock screen is pretty, kudos to whoever designed it. Particularly with this wallpaper (but i was using the included one of the wet pavement before, which also looks great): http://alpha.wallhaven.cc/wallpaper/241620

[11:03] <Fahim> hi
[11:04] <Duoflamingo> quit using ubuntu for a long time, cuz it's high request of mem
[11:04] <Duoflamingo> and send user info anonymously
[11:05] <cfhowlett> Fahim, greetings.  ask your ubuntu questions.
[11:05] <gry> I recommend you use advanced installer. It gives you more control over the services and packages to install, to save memory.
[11:05] <k1l> Duoflamingo: you can change the settings in the systemsettings under  the point: privacy settings. and if you want a more lightweight desktop ubuntu offers other desktops in the repo
[11:07] <rustx> hi guys
[11:07] <Fahim> hello
[11:07] <rustx> i have one question regarding apt private repositories via ssh on custom port
[11:08] <Dirkos> I can login in my terminal, but when i login to my GUI i hear the system login sound but then return to my login page
[11:08] <Dirkos> even though the pass is valid. Anyone that has an idea?
[11:08] <EriC^^> Dirkos: does the guest account work?
[11:08] <rustx> what is the correct syntax to configure port into apt/sources.list file ?
[11:08] <Dirkos> EriC^^: what is the guest account?
[11:09] <Dirkos> I can login while doing CTRL+ALT+F1 with the same account
[11:09] <rustx> i am trying this one but does not work deb [arch=amd64] ssh://apt.repo:8888/var/repositories trusty main
[11:09] <EriC^^> Dirkos: ok, type ls -l ~/.Xauthority
[11:09] <Dirkos> EriC^^: no guest session is not working
[11:09] <EriC^^> oh
[11:09] <k1l> Dirkos: see on the tty1 with ls -al what is owned by root:root in your home
[11:10] <Dirkos> k1l: nothing only the .. folder which makes sense
[11:10] <k1l> Dirkos: ok, that could have been an easy fix if it was a wrong owner of important files in the users homw
[11:10] <k1l> *home
[11:11] <EriC^^> Dirkos: type cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:11] <Dirkos> well its an almost clean install
[11:11] <EriC^^> has it worked before?
[11:11] <Dirkos> partial
[11:11] <EriC^^> meaning?
[11:11] <RSpliet> when I "# fsck -yf /dev/sdc2 " as preparation for fs resize in Trusty, the result is a corrupted filesystem
[11:11] <k1l> Dirkos: what video card is it? and what driver is installed?
[11:11] <Dirkos> has some issues with 2 screens but was resolved after installing video drivers, after that a kernel update and now this
[11:11] <Dirkos> correct driver though
[11:11] <RSpliet> are there any known problems with either fsck or the mmc driver in trusty?
[11:12] <Dirkos> Nvidia Quadro K2200
[11:12] <EriC^^> Dirkos: try using the old kernel
[11:12] <k1l> Dirkos: make sure the kernel headers are installed for that kernel
[11:12] <Dirkos> is there anything i should look at, at the Xorg.log?
[11:13] <Dirkos> FBIOBLANK : Invalid argument is at the bottom
[11:13] <EriC^^> Dirkos: any errors, but if it happened after the kernel update, i'd just use the older kernel or try a different driver, or see what k1l suggested
[11:16] <jpds> rustx: I didn't even know that APT could do SSH
[11:20] <Dirkos> also issue with the old kernel :(
[11:20] <EriC^^> maybe it's the graphics driver
[11:21] <EriC^^> pastebin /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:21] <EriC^^> !paste
[11:24] <Afdla> I did "sudo service lightdm restart" on 15.04 and now I just get black screen with some complaining about low graphics drivers
[11:24] <Afdla> what display manager ubuntu uses and how could I revert this?
[11:24] <Afdla> I thought I was using lightdm
[11:25] <Afdla> changed the greeter, failed the way I should write it. Then i fixed it from terminal with nano, but now I get only white screen
[11:25] <inerkick> Hi team.  The desktop is loading on GNOME but not on Ubuntu default atm
[11:34] <EriC^^> hmm
[11:35] <Dirkos> On the old kernel, the new kernel is crashing on both
[11:35] <EriC^^> try a different graphics driver maybe
[11:35] <Dirkos> The strange thing is that a collegue has exactly the same system only with a different screen
[11:35] <Dirkos> And same driver etc
[11:36] <Dirkos> But if Gnome works, why should a driver fix it?
[11:36] <EriC^^> maybe the driver doesn't work well with unity
[11:36] <k1l> Dirkos: what driver? what driver exactly? what ubuntu exactly? what desktop?
[11:36] <EriC^^> and compiz
[11:37] <k1l> Dirkos: details matter
[11:37] <Dirkos> k1l: ubuntu 15.04
[11:37] <EriC^^> type lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA
[11:37] <Dirkos> http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77525/en-us
[11:37] <Dirkos> this is the driver
[11:37] <k1l> Dirkos: why dont you use the driver from the ubuntu repo?
[11:38] <k1l> Dirkos: so you dont have that issue every time you update the kernel
[11:38] <Dirkos> ok will install the  other one from apt
[11:38] <k1l> but remove the one first
[11:38] <Dirkos> EriC^^: driver is listed there
[11:39] <Dirkos> what is the easiest way to remove it k1l ?
[11:39] <k1l> and gnome-fallback might have worked because it doesnt need 3d drivers to work.
[11:39] <Dirkos> since it was a .run file
[11:39] <k1l> Dirkos: the nvidia.run should have a uninstall command
[11:39] <paws> i have two network cards plug in my ubuntu on two separate networks. They are both picking up ips, but when i try to ping -I eth1 google.ca it wont respond, eth0 responds no problem. What could be the problem?
[11:39] <k1l> --uninstall at the end
[11:40] <Afdla> what is the ubuntu 15.04 display manager?
[11:40] <Afdla> lightdm not working
[11:40] <Afdla> im stuck in terminal
[11:40] <k1l> Afdla: what ubuntu exactly? kubuntu, xubuntu ,...?
[11:40] <vishnu_> does any one know how to change fonts of lxde menu
[11:40] <Afdla> basic ubuntu, though I've installed xfce4
[11:40] <Afdla> and removed unity
[11:41] <k1l> Afdla: ok, should still be lightdm (i know ony kubuntu uses a different dm since 15.04)
[11:41] <Dirkos> k1l: thanks, will install it from aptitude
[11:41] <Dirkos> connection here is limited so will take a while though
[11:41] <Dirkos> 135 kb/s lol
[11:41] <k1l> Afdla: what tell the logs? you said you changed lightdm stuff, is that the cause?
[11:41] <Afdla> yea I tried to change the greeter
[11:42] <WG1337> HI! If I want to mirror 2 files to different (local) location, can rsync do that? But I want to have a instant update. So each time file is changed - sync it.
[11:42] <Afdla> but forgot the [something] from above it
[11:42] <Afdla> then restarted lightdm and boom
[11:42] <Afdla> I got to desktop now but the login screen is just white
[11:43] <Afdla> I even reverted the greeter change removing the lines
[11:43] <k1l> WG1337: see if the suggestions here lead to a solution for you: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/31905/real-time-local-file-sync
[11:44] <k1l> Afdla: hmm. so all the configs are back to original?
[11:44] <Afdla> should be, yea
[11:44] <Afdla> only thing I changed was the greeter but I removed it already
[11:45] <Afdla> tried rebooting and now it says "authentication is required for rebooting the system"?
[11:46] <Afdla> oh reboot helped
[11:46] <Afdla> now the login screen is back
[11:50] <k1l> good to hear. maybe there was just something still in the cache
[11:50] <TLE> Hallo everybody, any recommendations on a 802.11ac compatible preferably 2.4 and 5 GHz usb wif dongle with IN KERNEL drivers?
[11:53] <stereoit_> Hello, is there a way to create a repository from installed package? I have system A where with access to internet and I am running isntall package-X (this brings several dependencies). Now I would like install the same package-X on system B withouth access to the internet. So I was thinking on creating repository from just installed pacakges and then on system-B install from this repo. Is this doable?
[11:54] <cfhowlett> stereoit_, sounds like setting up your own local repos might be the better solution
[11:54] <EriC^^> yeah
[11:54] <OerHeks> TLE,  there is no list of devices, but there is a list of chipsets that support opensourcedrivershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source_wireless_drivers
[11:54] <paws> $ sudo ip route add <IP_ADDRESS>/24 dev eth1 src <IP_ADDRESS> table rt2 || RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
[11:55] <paws> why am i getting invalid argument ?
[11:55] <EriC^^> stereoit_: can you get temporary access to the internet to download one package?
[11:55] <EriC^^> !aptoncd
[11:55] <stereoit_> cfhowlett: OK, but how I convert "install package-X" into own repo with all dependincies?
[11:55] <cfhowlett> stereoit_, no idea.
[11:55] <stereoit_> EriC^^: noep, I can push only files via scp
[11:55] <EriC^^> stereoit_: you need internet access to install aptoncd though, maybe if you get it and it's dependencies on a usb or something it would work i guess
[11:56] <EriC^^> stereoit_: try aptoncd maybe
[11:56] <h0mer> download the packages into a separate folder
[11:56] <Dirkos> Ok i install the driver nvidia-current from aptitude
[11:57] <EriC^^> stereoit_: push it's .deb and install it
[11:57] <Dirkos> im not able to login, he accept the login and sends me back to login screen
[11:57] <Dirkos> On kernel 3.19.0-15-generic
[11:57] <stereoit_> EriC^^: well, it could be one package requires 150 debs, I do use --print-uris for the moment, but it is hard to maintain
[11:58] <TLE> OerHeks: thanks, I had hoped for a suggestion for just a few actual models, but I guess I can probably work my way to that
[12:00] <acetakwas> Guys please come to my rescue!
[12:00] <khax> hm
[12:01] <acetakwas> My Ubuntu 13 is messed up
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> acetakwas  13.04 and 13.10 are dead, that's why
[12:02] <acetakwas> Unity isn't on my system anymore
[12:02] <acetakwas> I can't update with apt successfully
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> acetakwas  upgrade to a supported release, then ask again
[12:03] <acetakwas> I don't have another version right now
[12:03] <stereoit_> seems the aptoncd is a right tool
[12:03] <acetakwas> so a temporary fix would do
[12:03] <naftilos76> Hi, i am on lm cinnamon and apache server while it restarts fine manually after booting it does not auto start as it should . It is there in the /etc/rc.X . I have even used update-rc.d to remove them and re-create the links with update-rc.d and defaults. If i use "service apache2 start" in rc.local it starts normally, otherwise i have to start it manually. Can anybody help?
[12:04] <Fudge> hi anyone having very high cpu usage in trusty all of a suddgen and inability to log into a gnoem DE
[12:04] <siddharth030> which partition to choose all files in one or separate
[12:04] <siddharth030> please help
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> Fudge  I had that too ... install indicator-cpufreq
[12:05] <siddharth030> separate /home partition separate /home,/usr,/var,/tmp partition
[12:05] <siddharth030> which option will be ebst
[12:05] <acetakwas> Besides if I upgraded, I would have to reinstall ALL my applications. That's no small data.
[12:05] <siddharth030> my hdd is 42gb
[12:05] <Fudge> will look at it MonkeyDust
[12:05] <Fudge> 4.0 loads for barely aything
[12:06] <Dirkos> EriC^^: Failed to load Nvidia kernel module is what im receiving in Xorg.log
[12:06] <meatie> trace/bench all the things.
[12:09] <Fudge> MonkeyDust:  I do use cpufreqd but not the indicator, how ditusing teh indicator help you mate?
[12:10] <Fatar> what's the command to know where a shortcut leads to?
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> Fudge  indicator-cpufreq lets me change the cpu mode with a single click ... Conservative / Ondemand / Powersave / Performance
[12:11] <McEE> try ls -l
[12:12] <bq_> i have a domain name on godaddy now I want its subdomain pointing to a server on AWS, how do i do that?
[12:13] <Fatar> nope mcEE that didn't work
[12:13] <Fudge> MonkeyDust:  its interesint that thsi install cpufreqd is not making my cpu run at full speed as i want from this core 2 duo. it runs at 2.1ghz instead of 2.8
[12:14] <Fudge> apt-mirror is really easy to use
[12:14] <McEE> Fud
[12:15] <McEE> Fudge:  better is like what openSUSE does..., shipping all packets on dvd by default..
[12:15] <Fudge> McEE:  that's great at time of release but easily depricated as time goes on. taking longer to load your live image for obselete packages
[12:16] <MonkeyDust> Fudge  i guess 'performance' mode can handle that ... the indicator also lets me switch between different GHz
[12:16] <Fudge> thanks MonkeyDust
[12:17] <Fudge> this is like using a system with no cache, i have to track down what it is
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> Fudge  hint: use psensor to monitor your cpu temperature
[12:19] <Fudge> CPU Temperature:    +41.0°C  (high = +60.0°C, crit = +95.0°C)
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> Fudge  that better than here
[12:20] <MonkeyDust> that's*
[12:20] <Fudge> its just an old system
[12:20] <Fudge> it cuold be something with the vivid kernel im using
[12:20] <Fudge> 3.19-25 i think
[12:21] <McEE> How do i get apt-mirror to work, without using "sudo"-command ?
[12:21] <jpds> McEE: Make it write to a directory a user can write to?
[12:22] <McEE> jpds, a nice guess...
[12:22] <jpds> McEE: Problem with putting things on a DVD is that an Ubuntu release is about... 100G worth of data
[12:31] <Dirkos> Im a bit lost here, running kernel 3.19.0-25-generic with the NVIDIA 352.30 driver
[12:31] <Dirkos> getting stuck in the login loop
[12:31] <Dirkos> xorg shows me that the kernel driver module could not be loaded
[12:32] <Dirkos> whats next?
[12:32] <McEE> and shipping a nice selection of software,,.. , does not prevent from offering an online-repository
[12:32] <McEE> like openSUSE does..
[12:33] <k1l> are we done with "suse is the best OS in the world"?
[12:33] <k1l> Dirkos: still the nvidia website driver?
[12:34] <Dirkos> no
[12:34] <Dirkos> also with the nvidia current
[12:34] <k1l> Dirkos: yes, 346 is the latest is see in the ubuntu repos
[12:34] <Dirkos> and nvidia 346
[12:34] <Dirkos> well the 352 is on the nvidia website which seems to be newer
[12:35] <k1l> Dirkos: then please dont mix that. did you remove the bad nvidia website driver properly before installing the official ubuntu one?
[12:35] <Dirkos> but im a bit lost now tbh
[12:35] <k1l> Dirkos: yeah, the latest is not the best. especially if it doesnt work
[12:35] <Dirkos> yeah well lets try it again, i removed the old one (uninstall)
[12:35] <Dirkos> which one is suggested? Current or 346?
[12:36] <ioria> ubuntu-drivers list
[12:37] <k1l> 346 should be fine from the repo
[12:38] <Dirkos> installing now
[12:39] <Dirkos> done and now rebooting
[12:40] <Dirkos> k1l: ok no login loop but just my desktop and a mouse
[12:40] <Dirkos> without any menus etc
[12:41] <Dirkos> Thing is that it is working on GNOME
[12:41] <k1l> look into the dmesg and xorg log (or put them in a pastebin and show the link here)
[12:41] <Dirkos> well its on a different system so its not that easy to copy/paste
[12:41] <k1l> Dirkos: gnome-fallback is not a proper 3d desktop. dont call it gnome since that is confusing it  with gneom-shell
[12:42] <Dirkos> sorry gnome fallback indeed
[12:42] <k1l> you can boot into gnome-fallback if that is more convenient for you. and get that logs to a pastebin from there.
[12:42] <k1l> the 3d driver errors should be the same in the logs
[12:43] <k1l> log destination is /var/log/
[12:43] <Dirkos> yeah let me try
[12:46] <SCHAAP137> http://www.gfi.com/blog/47-reasons-to-thank-a-sysadmin/
[12:47] <Dirkos_> k1l: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c197e7a0c1c8208826f5
[12:47] <Dirkos_> here is the Xorg log
[12:50] <christiansl2> hi. did anyone upgrade from 14.04.2 to 14.04.3? i got some dependency and conflict issues
[12:50] <k1l> is it a hybrid card? Dirkos_
[12:51] <jasem_> i had a problem reconnecting to a xrdp session after i changed my password. ssh was working fine, is there other solution than killing xrdp session
[12:51] <Dirkos_> nvidia quadro k2200 4gb
[12:51] <k1l> christiansl2: running the regular updates will bring you to .3 its more like a "servicepack" stage.
[12:51] <Dirkos_> how can i determine if its hybrid? Its a normal PCE card if im correct
[12:51] <k1l> christiansl2: can you show the command and the errors in a pastebin?
[12:51] <k1l> Dirkos_: ok, so no nvidia-prime technology
[12:52] <Dirkos_> no not as i know, just a random PCE card
[12:52] <christiansl2> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11973120/
[12:52] <OerHeks> christiansl2, i thought 14.04.3 will be released 6 august 2015 .. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule
[12:53] <k1l> Dirkos_: can you show a "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" in a pastebin?
[12:53] <_ZED_> hey
[12:53] <christiansl2> OerHeks: updated my notebook yesterday from 14.04.1 as described https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[12:54] <k1l> christiansl2: hmm, so you want the vivid enablement stack.
[12:54] <k1l> christiansl2: do you have PPAs enabled?
[12:54] <christiansl2> some, but no system ppas
[12:55] <Dirkos_> k1l: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e3522d6f036140f7d16f
[12:55] <k1l> christiansl2: xorg-renamed-package-lts-utopic seems like causing a lot of issues
[12:55] <_ZED_> having a problem here... i have the right keyboard layout but some keys are switched
[12:56] <k1l> Dirkos_: hmm. does another user or guest account work?
[12:56] <Dirkos_> no really
[12:56] <Dirkos_> there is 1 user
[12:56] <_ZED_> anybody had the same problem?
[12:56] <Dirkos_> and same happens on guest
[12:57] <ds_solanki> :)
[12:58] <christiansl2> k1l: maybe there is no upgrade path atm from vivid as 14.04.3 is scheduled for august?
[12:59] <ds_solanki> O:-)
[12:59] <k1l> Dirkos_: the k2200 is supported since the 340.32 kernel. so that should not be an issue on that side.
[12:59] <k1l> Dirkos_: can you look into ".xsession-errors" in the users home?
[13:00] <k1l> Dirkos_: need to leave now for a bit. so maybe other can help with spotting the error. i guess the .xsession-errors should show something
[13:00] <k1l> christiansl2: would be worth a bug report.
[13:01] <Dirkos_> checking
[13:01] <christiansl2> k1l: looks like i am not alone with the problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/654920/cant-upgrade-ubuntu-enablement-stack
[13:01] <christiansl2> ich will wait some days and check the progress
[13:02] <Horseface> hi

[13:29] <havinagiggle> how do i solve this problem?
[13:37] <Ranieri_> Startup Disk Creator says 'copying files'
[13:37] <Ranieri_> It's not burning the ISO I don't think
[13:47] <G0> Hey, it's a good idea use Shred to 'clear' the HD ?

[13:48] <daftykins> easyOnMe: welcome back
[13:48] <easyOnMe> daftykins: yeah
[13:48] <easyOnMe> thanks
[13:49] <easyOnMe> daftykins: just want to ask how do I know the password of the root user in my ubuntu laptop secondly how do I know whether a particular user belongs to the group sudoer
[13:49] <daftykins> !root
[13:49] <daftykins> never set a root password.
[13:49] <daftykins> running "groups" or "id user" would show whether a given user is permitted to use sudo or not
[13:50] <IAmAnOwl> Hey guys, quick question
[13:50] <IAmAnOwl> I’m want to install Ubuntu on an SSD which previously boots Windows8.1. I want to erase that and just install ubuntu.
[13:51] <MonkeyDust> G0  in a terminal, type this and follow instructions:   srm
[13:51] <IAmAnOwl> However, when I tried to do that, a warning message came up: /dev/sda contains got signatures, indicating that it has a get table. However, it does not have a valid fake mdse. partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted - possibly by a program that doesn’t understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are no
[13:51] <IAmAnOwl> w using an mdse. partition table. Is this a GPT partition table?
[13:51] <IAmAnOwl> What should I do?
[13:51] <IAmAnOwl> Click Yes or No?
[13:51] <daftykins> IAmAnOwl: "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2M count=50"
[13:51] <daftykins> run that, reboot, install.
[13:52] <MonkeyDust> G0  keep it in the channel please
[13:52] <IAmAnOwl> daftykins However, i have yet to install ubuntu
[13:52] <IAmAnOwl> how can i run the command?
[13:52] <daftykins> IAmAnOwl: yeah so run this from the live session.
[13:52] <IAmAnOwl> ah ok
[13:52] <daftykins> you have to boot media to install.
[13:52] <IAmAnOwl> what does that command do?
[13:53] <daftykins> writes zeroes to the first 100MB of the disk
[13:53] <daftykins> nuking it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
[13:53] <IAmAnOwl> why does it need to write zeroes?
[13:53] <daftykins> it doesn't, it could write disney lyrics if you really want
[13:53] <G0> I think it'nt a good idea
[13:53] <daftykins> this is just the simplest practical application.
[13:54] <G0> It's better write with randomic bytes
[13:54] <daftykins> G0: totally stupid and won't work on an SSD unless you fully fill it over anyway.
[13:54] <daftykins> we're not achieving data security here, we're nuking the partition table to clean install
[13:54] <IAmAnOwl> daftykins what's the reason that caused ubuntu to give this warning message? I've installed it a couple of times but I've never got that warning before
[13:55] <daftykins> IAmAnOwl: the partition table was left over from Windows, it's not too keen about that.
[13:55] <daftykins> just do the above and all will be well
[13:55] <daftykins> you could've been done by now
[13:55] <daftykins> :)
[13:55] <easyOnMe> daftykins: wow thanks for the info all along I have been dying to reset root password
[13:55] <easyOnMe> lol
[13:55] <IAmAnOwl> daftykins Alrighty. Thanks!
[13:55] <daftykins> easyOnMe: running "sudo -i" and entering your password will switch to root@ if you've been getting tired of typing 'sudo' repeatedly. bear in mind that you're more likely to break things if you do though
[13:56] <daftykins> !pm | G0 Bad netiquette
[13:58] <easyOnMe> daftykins: ok thanks but I think I'd rather follow the advice of typing sudo to prevent messing up my linux I had my fair share of reinstalling ubuntu and go through the arduous process of reconfiguring things in the laptop because of my noob mistake I did last December
[13:58] <daftykins> easyOnMe: wise decision
[13:58] <resc_user_2782> hi
[13:59] <sidi> Is there a URL for the ubuntu keyserver that directly downloads the key? not looking for the CLI command or (http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=...), just a direct download URL
[13:59] <resc_user_2782> got no kernel on my machine, i unistall them all by mistake. can some body help me
[14:00] <IAmAnOwl> daftykins Can I just format the whole ssd from the live ssd? When I tried to do that, I was given a choice of FAT, NTFS or Ext4. Which one should I choose if I want to format the whole disk?
[14:00] <daftykins> IAmAnOwl: bad idea.
[14:00] <IAmAnOwl> I mean live ubuntu not live ssd
[14:00] <daftykins> just do what i said
[14:00] <IAmAnOwl> reason?
[14:00] <daftykins> you don't want to unnecessarily waste writes to an SSD
[14:01] <daftykins> read up on how they work for a why.
[14:01] <IAmAnOwl> ah i see. I know the reason
[14:01] <IAmAnOwl> However, how does writing 100mb to the disk change how ubuntu will install?
[14:01] <IAmAnOwl> or more specifically what does writing 100mb does specifically?
[14:02] <daftykins> IAmAnOwl: i already said, it deletes all traces of the partition table
[14:03] <Ranieri_> Getting a 'connection activation failed'
[14:03] <Ranieri_> I'm using a dlink usb network adapter
[14:03] <IAmAnOwl> daftykins Oh, right
[14:03] <daftykins> IAmAnOwl: your error was about seeing GPT remnants
[14:04] <resc_user_2782> hello ive got lvmluks encryption on my systen and need to install kernel from livbe cd. any idea
[14:09] <IAmAnOwl> daftykins It worked. Thank you!
[14:09] <daftykins> IAmAnOwl: :)

[14:16] <newUbuntu> Brightness slider and audio missing after installing wine 1.6. System = ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty tahr
[14:17] <mirc32> i love ubuntu lol
[14:21] <marvindep> hi, I have a problem with photo camera (samsung galaxy s5). the error is "Could not claim the USB device", can somebody halp me?
[14:22] <marvindep> help
[14:26] <EriC^^>  /j #linux
[14:27] <ivank> is java 8 ever going to be supported on 14.04 LTS?
[14:28] <daftykins> ivank: already is, no? you have to get it from oracle
[14:29] <ivank> daftykins: i mean in terms of there being debs available in the official repo
[14:29] <daftykins> well it's not open source so no, never.
[14:29] <zykotick9> ivank: oracle prevents anyone from distributing java except themselves
[14:30] <daftykins> that's basically like asking if Windows is in the repos :D
[14:31] <ivank> ok, let me more specific then. will there ever be a openjdk-8-jre package for 14.04?
[14:32] <daftykins> i doubt oracle will package one, they've got an installer package
[14:32] <daftykins> just use that
[14:32] <daftykins> i don't see the problem....
[14:34] <ivank> the problem is that if you want to distribute a package for ubuntu 14.04 that depends on java8, it's not possible. and businesses often only use 14.04 on servers, since it's LTS
[14:38] <daftykins> ivank: yeah, so i guess don't develope for oracle java... or make an install script.
[14:38] <daftykins> i forget whether oracle offer a PPA with the installer, i think they do
[14:38] <daftykins> or maybe i just got it from webupd8 repos in the past
[14:39] <BitFire> hi guys!
[14:39] <daftykins> lo
[14:39] <BitFire> news  ?
[14:40] <Geogts> when i do sudo apt-get update, i get a few things like "Err http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main amd64 Packages
[14:40] <Geogts>   404  Not Found" and "Err http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main i386 Packages
[14:40] <Geogts>   404  Not Found".   how do i fix this issue?
[14:40] <daftykins> BitFire: news? this is an OS support channel, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:40] <BitFire> kkkkkkkkk
[14:44] <BitFire> hey geogts: see your source.list in /etc/apt/source.list and coment this line 'http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main amd64'
[14:45] <BitFire> and execute 'sudo apt-get update' again
[14:46] <Ranieri_> quit
[14:46] <Ranieri_> woops
[14:48] <Geogts> BitFire: thanks for your response but i can't find trust/main amd64 in the file.
[14:49] <BitFire> show me your source.list
[14:49] <Geogts> i have main restricted and other things in there but not the offending entry
[14:51] <Geogts> BitFire: did you get the list i sent you?  it said i left the room for excess flood
[14:52] <BitFire> send me its file!
[14:52] <EriC^^> Geogts: try /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[14:52] <Pires_R> Teste
[14:52] <EriC^^> it should be one of those
[14:52] <somsip> !paste | Geogts
[14:54] <EriC^^> Geogts: paste the following,for i in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; do echo -e "$i\n"; cat "$i"; done | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:56] <Geogts> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11973786/
[14:56] <Geogts> ok, i tried to send you the file BitFire but i guess it never went through so i pasted it
[14:57] <Geogts> EriC^^: i'm not sure what you mean.  paste "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; do echo -e "$i\n"; cat "$i"; done | nc termbin.com 9999"  to where?
[14:57] <EriC^^> Geogts: paste the line starting with for ... til 9999
[14:57] <Geogts> i'm so sorry guys.  i probably don't belong on a lubuntu computer.  i'm so slow
[14:57] <EriC^^> for i in .... 9999
[14:58] <MonkeyDust> Geogts  paste it in a terminal window, the command line prompt
[14:58] <Geogts> http://termbin.com/o9en
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> Geogts  that's a lot of ppa's... midori is in the repo's, no need for a ppa
[15:00] <Geogts> MonkeyDust: yeah, i wanted a snappy browser so i tried lots of them.  i don't use midori anymore
[15:00] <Geogts> i used it for like 10 min
[15:00] <Geogts> that and qupzilla
[15:01] <OerHeks> Geogts, time to check all those ppaś, https://launchpad.net/~speed-dreams/+archive/ubuntu/ppa has no trusty candidates etc etc etc
[15:03] <Guest9212> hello
[15:03] <G0> Hi
[15:04] <BitFire> ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main
[15:04] <Guest9212> what irc client does everyone use?
[15:04] <Guest9212> im using irssi its pretty great
[15:04] <cfhowlett> Guest9212, everyone?  please don't take polls here
[15:04] <OerHeks> Geogts, https://launchpad.net/~szymonw/+archive/ubuntu/ppa also, and https://launchpad.net/~sonkun/+archive/ubuntu/sfml-stable too
[15:04] <cfhowlett> Guest9212, if you found one that works, then use it.
[15:05] <Guest9212> yeah thats true but I kinda just went with the first one I found
[15:05] <giray> i have a question people
[15:05] <daftykins> giray: how many guesses do we get?
[15:05] <giray> i am trying to install ubuntu
[15:05] <cfhowlett> Guest9212, "everyone" = over 1000 people in this channel.  we really don't need 1000 responses to your question when you already have an answer, right?
[15:05] <daftykins> right...
[15:05] <Guest9212> what os are you one right now?
[15:05] <giray> and as a disk i have only 1 ssd that is 120 gbs
[15:05] <giray> windows 7
[15:06] <Geogts> OerHeks: can i just delete the file from the sources.list.d folder or is there a different way i need to remove them?
[15:06] <Guest9212> cfhowlett, thats pretty true
[15:06] <cfhowlett> giray, more than enough space.  do you want to keep win7?
[15:06] <daftykins> giray: use win7 to resize your install 20GB less, then install ubuntu beside perhaps.
[15:06] <OerHeks> Geogts, use ppa purge
[15:06] <OerHeks> !ppapurge
[15:06] <giray> but i have already 90 gbs filled
[15:06] <Guest9212> yeah giray you need like 6 GB for ubuntu
[15:07] <cfhowlett> giray, 100 for win7, the rest for ubuntu then.
[15:07] <giray> but the disk isnt partitioned
[15:07] <Guest9212> you will want more for software but just os is 6GB
[15:07] <giray> there is only c volume
[15:07] <giray> does that make a problem
[15:07] <cfhowlett> !dualboot | giray, ubuntu should offer to partition for you.
[15:07] <Guest9212> nope just partition it in windows
[15:08] <Guest9212> you will also most likely be asked if you want to install next to windows in ubuntu anyways
[15:08] <OerHeks> leave the space empty, don't follow the suggestion of Guest9212 to let windows do partitioning, as it cannot handle ext4
[15:08] <daftykins> OerHeks: +1
[15:08] <daftykins> Guest9212: please don't give bad advice.
[15:08] <cfhowlett> giray, the dualboot factoid explains exactly what you need to do.  I strongly suggest you read it.
[15:09] <Guest9212> I dont mean FORMATTING I mean partitioning
[15:09] <daftykins> Guest9212: still unwise.
[15:09] <Guest9212> why?
[15:09] <Guest9212> it just shrinks the disk space
[15:09] <giray> cfhowlett thx readin right now
[15:10] <Guest9212> and thats weird that it does not handle ext4
[15:10] <cfhowlett> Guest9212, it's windows.  no reason why it should be expected to handle anything not from microsoft.
[15:13] <tgm4883> cfhowlett: daftykins why it is bad to let windows handle partition resizing of a NTFS partition?
[15:14] <cfhowlett> tgm4883, ntfs partitions sure.  ext* no.
[15:14] <tgm4883> cfhowlett: we aren't talking about ext partitions though
[15:14] <daftykins> tgm4883: i never claimed it was, this guest is confused.
[15:14] <daftykins> i was the one, if you read up, who suggested having Windows resize itself.
[15:15] <tgm4883> daftykins: ah yes you were
[15:18] <coy> hi
[15:18] <giray> cfhowlett
[15:18] <cfhowlett> giray, ? yes?
[15:18] <cfhowlett> coy, ask your ubuntu question
[15:18] <giray> i also get a message that says conflict detected with stolen region
[15:18] <giray> while booting
[15:18] <coy> wrong window
[15:18] <cfhowlett> giray, wait, what??
[15:19] <giray> i have the .iso file and i burnt it
[15:19] <danportin> What is the most likely reason that I can connect via ssh to a machine locally (behind a router with port forwarding) but not remotely. When I attempt to connect from an external network, ssh reports 'connection refused
[15:19] <cfhowlett> giray, right and ?
[15:19] <Noth> Hi !
[15:19] <Pires_R> Hello
[15:19] <giray> when i restart my pc and pick ubuntu to run i get that message
[15:20] <cfhowlett> giray, never seen it before.  looks like a DVD error, not an ubuntu error
[15:20] <cfhowlett> but I could be wrong.
[15:20] <Noth> On stuck on a "stupid" problem : I'm setting up a monitoring system (sensu). My script used to check running process is run with the "sensu" user.
[15:20] <giray> i dont have it as a cd
[15:20] <giray> i only burn it with daemon tools
[15:20] <cfhowlett> giray, "burned it ..." to WHAT?
[15:20] <Noth> Sadly, the "sensu" user can only see its own processes..
[15:20] <giray> to a virt
[15:21] <giray> to a virtual disk
[15:21] <Noth> and I definitively don't want to run my checks as root...
[15:21] <cfhowlett> giray, and what virtual manager are you running?  I'm assuming it's in windows?
[15:21] <giray> is it a must that i have the cd
[15:21] <anyoneuno> lol
[15:21] <giray> yes in windows
[15:21] <cfhowlett> giray, which one?
[15:21] <Silenced_v2> WinstonSmith: 6
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> Noth  now put all those lines in one line, that's easier to read and repeat
[15:22] <giray> what u mean by virtual manager
[15:22] <Noth> MonkeyDust: ok, let's concatenate ;)
[15:22] <giray> cfhowlett
[15:22] <cfhowlett> giray, did you use the wubi installer?
[15:22] <giray> yes
[15:22] <giray> it says wubi
[15:22] <Noth> I'm stuck on a "stupid" problem : I'm setting up a monitoring system (sensu). My script used to check running process is run with the "sensu" user. Sadly, the "sensu" user can only see its own processes and I definitively don't want to run my checks as root. Does anyone hve some clues ?
[15:23]  * MonkeyDust burns wubi ritually on a funeral pyre
[15:23] <cfhowlett> giray, DO NOT EVER USE WUBI AGAIN!  1.  it's broken.  2.  It's not supported  3.  it's not dualbot
[15:23] <cfhowlett> dualbot
[15:23] <giray> so shud i download another thing then?
[15:23] <cfhowlett> giray, make a bootable USB with your ubuntu iso, BOOT the usb and install NEXT TO ubuntu.
[15:24] <giray> ok pal lemme try that
[15:24] <giray> thx so much btw
[15:24] <MonkeyDust> giray  wubi is a pseudo installation that causes more problems than frustration
[15:25] <giray> hmm
[15:25] <giray> ok
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> giray  wubi is similar to non-alcoholic beer: nobody knows why it was ever invented
[15:26] <giray> LOL
[15:26] <cfhowlett> giray, alloe me to ever so gently chide you, wubi is mentioned NO WHERE on the dualboot wiki ...
[15:26] <giray> well its a shame that its there then
[15:26] <cfhowlett> giray, that you SAID you read ...
[15:26] <giray> when i search for download ubuntu its the 1st thing that comes up
[15:27] <cfhowlett> giray, not from ubuntu.com it doesn't
[15:27] <giray> i was readin then i stopped to tell u that error
[15:27] <giray> i downloaded it from ubuntu
[15:27] <giray> ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
[15:27] <cfhowlett> moving on ...
[15:27] <giray> i downloaded this
[15:27] <OerHeks> !wubi
[15:28] <tgm4883> giray: please link me the page that says wubi
[15:28] <giray> wait
[15:29] <OerHeks> wubi is still available on the 15.04 iso, i understand the confusion
[15:29] <cfhowlett> OerHeks, yep.  that's why I mentally cursed canonical
[15:30] <giray> tgm4883
[15:30] <giray> http://postimg.org/image/niql73sq9/
[15:30] <OerHeks> wubi 'was' nice to try, but when one failure comes, it is hopeless to fix
[15:30] <cfhowlett> OerHeks, I'd go a step further and suggest continued inclusion of wubi in the .iso = bug
[15:30] <giray> it says wubi.exe
[15:31] <tgm4883> giray: that's not a webpage, but ok
[15:31] <cfhowlett> giray, read the dualboot wiki completely
[15:31] <giray> ok i am readin it
[15:32] <tgm4883> You know, you would think with all the complaining they do about the ISO size they would remove the 2.5MB unsupported binary
[15:33] <OerHeks> https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/1385930
[15:33] <OerHeks> lots of them
[15:34] <cfhowlett> OerHeks, it should be removed, purged, buried, staked and nuked from orbit.  But that's just my opinion.
[15:34] <OerHeks> IF wubi is still on the 16.04 .. i might switch distro
[15:34] <tgm4883> OerHeks: well that's the bug we deserve, but not the bug we need. We need a bug that says "Yo dawg, the WUBI is still on the ISOz"
[15:34] <k1l_> IMHO, "someone" needs to make a mail to ubuntu-devel-discuss and express what the supporters think of it.
[15:34] <OerHeks> tmgfile a bugreport, i shall confirm, young lad :-D
[15:35] <tgm4883> OerHeks: I'm looking to see if one already exists
[15:36] <Bombo> hi
[15:39] <Amoz> n
[15:41] <Zequal> I am trying to determining 'how' Ubuntu 15.04 is working with the Microsoft Surface Pro 3's touchscreen. It seems to be the only Linux distribution to have this working, is anyone here familiar with this area?
[15:41] <Zequal> s/determining/determine
[15:44] <OerHeks> Zequal, all i know is this post about getting stuff to work http://www.carlos-roque.com/2015/04/25/dual-boot-gnome-ubuntu-15-04-on-a-surface-pro-3/
[15:44] <Bombo> how do i determine if the ubuntu i'm connected to via ssh is server or desktop version?
[15:45] <OerHeks> no mention of special touch tweaks
[15:45] <Bombo> $ lsb_release -d Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
[15:45] <tgm4883> Bombo: You could check if graphical stuff is installed
[15:45] <cfhowlett> Bombo, dpkg -l | grep unity
[15:46] <Bombo> i want to upgrade to 15.04 i read do-release-upgrade is just for server versions?
[15:46] <cfhowlett> Bombo, no that's for all *buntus.  what is your current buntu version?
[15:46] <Bombo> tgm4883: ok so i got desktop version
[15:46] <tgm4883> Bombo: no, they are the same. where did you read that
[15:46] <Zequal> OerHeks: In that post, touchscreen is not discussed in any details. As it is 'already' working in Ubuntu 15.04 without intervention.
[15:46] <Bombo> tgm4883: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html
[15:47] <Bombo> cfhowlett: 17:45 <Bombo> $ lsb_release -d Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
[15:47] <tgm4883> Bombo: that doesn't say that it's only for server versions, that says that for server versions, the recommended way is do-release-upgrade
[15:47] <OerHeks> Zequal, yes, so i have no clue why other distros do not work as well .. no point really to find out anyway
[15:47] <cfhowlett> Bombo, that is a Long Term Support version.  Do you NEED the upgrades in 15.04?
[15:47] <Bombo> tgm4883: right
[15:48] <OerHeks> Bombo, one way is to show installed desktop packages >> dpkg -l ubuntu-desktop
[15:48] <tgm4883> Bombo: there is a difference between what you said and what I said
[15:48] <Bombo> cfhowlett: i ran into a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1346734 that seems to be fixed in 14.12
[15:48] <Zequal> OerHeks: The functionality could have been built into Ubuntu's kernel.
[15:49] <tgm4883> Bombo: are you sure you ran into that?
[15:49] <Bombo> tgm4883: but it doesn't say 'use that also for desktop version'
[15:49] <cfhowlett> Bombo, might I suggest: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade         to get the latest 14.04.2 packages before you jump to 15.04
[15:49] <Zequal> OerHeks: That was a thought, but the LiveCD loads some interesting modules like: wacom (Which is based from the upstream Linux Wacom Project.
[15:49] <tgm4883> Bombo: well that would be because you linked to the "Ubuntu Server Guide"
[15:50] <Zequal> OerHeks: I wouldn't say it's pointless, I'd like to know how it works and learn from it.
[15:50] <tgm4883> Bombo: of course the server guide isn't going to tell you how to upgrade the desktop version
[15:51] <Pici> (ftr, do-release-upgrade works just fine for desktop installs as well)
[15:51] <Bombo> tgm4883: i think so, my lxc container doesn't work and spits out several systemd errors... but i guess i know when i did the upgrade and then it works ;)
[15:52] <Bombo> tgm4883: ok i just searched for ubuntu upgrade an thats what was showing up
[15:52]  * OerHeks wonders: systemD errors on 14.04?
[15:52] <Ranieri_> My superintendent couldn't get onto the main computer that controls the fob access and cameras because he didn't know the admin password, and it was the only account (Windows 7). I created a live usb with Ubuntu, booted it, installed chntpw and reset the admin password :D He loves me now
[15:52] <Bombo> OerHeks: with lxc
[15:52] <tgm4883> Bombo: ok, but 14.04 doesn't use systemd, so looking at that bug report doesn't make a ton of sense
[15:55] <Bombo> tgm4883: hmmm no idea, i see systemd stuff in ps auxw|grep systemd
[15:55] <aktx> hi guys
[15:55] <aktx> i want to become better at ubuntu
[15:55] <BitFire> hi!
[15:55] <aktx> what do/???
[15:55] <aktx> or linux, what is that?
[15:55] <aktx> i wanna become a comp wiz!
[15:55] <tgm4883> aktx: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:55] <cfhowlett> aktx, www.fullcirclemagazine.org   download, read issue #0.  repeat for issue #1 - #100
[15:55] <Noth> Does anyone know why "ps -aux"  does not list process for all users on 12.04 (when it works fine on other versions) ?
[15:55] <Bombo> that is /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd --daemon and /lib/systemd/systemd-logind and /sbin/cgmanager --sigstop -m name=systemd
[15:55] <aktx> cfhowlett, thx
[15:56] <Bombo> don't know hot systemd works really
[15:57] <tgm4883> Bombo: yes there are some pieces of systemd in 14.04. I suppose the issue is that the bug report isn't very descriptive about what is affected. Taking it at face value, I don't think it is since it's just mentioning systemd which itself isn't in 14.04
[15:57] <tgm4883> Bombo: But hey, I'm not going to stop you from upgrading if you want, I would just suggest testing if it works in a live environment if you can before going through the trouble
[15:58] <aktx> if i wanna become better at gnu/linux
[15:58] <aktx> like more adept at tools
[15:58] <aktx> because ive used vim for a while now, but i still feel like i havent unlocked the full potential
[15:58] <aktx> its just, i dunno, perhaps somebody can read my mind here :P
[15:58] <polpo> Hi guys, I just installed kubuntu 14 on a computer, all was fine, but when I turned on the pc after a little while few applications started on their own and no desktop and panels anymore, only black screen. It is pretty weird. Help?
[15:58] <cfhowlett> aktx, obviously not.  suggest you get off IRC, read the resources and try out the programs.  lots of vim stuff in FCM.
[15:59] <aktx> polpo, can you try login via ctrl + alt + f1
[15:59] <aktx> that shoudl bring up terminal
[15:59] <aktx> cfhowlett, lol,why get off irc?
[15:59] <polpo> aktx: login is fine and starts as usual, after the login it goes black
[15:59] <tgm4883> aktx: well for one, get out of the support channel with those questions
[15:59] <cfhowlett> aktx, time to study
[15:59] <tgm4883> !OT
[16:00] <aktx> ah, sry
[16:00] <aktx> cfhowlett, ur not in #offtopic ;)
[16:01] <Bombo> tgm4883: hmmkay, i'm googling for the error a bit first i guess
[16:02] <Bombo> the error is when i run 'lxc-start -n debian32bit' 'Failed to mount cgroup at /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd: Permission denied'
[16:02] <Bombo> (running on ubuntu 14.04.2 64bit)
[16:03] <Bombo> now i'm not even sure it is a ubuntu bug or a debian bug, because i'm trying to run debian in the lxc
[16:03] <polpo> I tried restarting the pc, no good
[16:04] <OerHeks> Bombo, any linux lxc container should work. but for your experience, i suggest to upgrade to 15.04 w/systemD
[16:13] <polpo> can it be because of the nvidia drivers?
[16:15] <boze> my ubuntu laptop needs repairs, but it's my work puter so I need to make a back up work station, but the computer I wana use is my HDTV computer on windows 7 and there's no WMC if I upgrade to windows 10 so I wana build a third computer to do mythTV + xbmc, but my sony tv sends the wrong EDID and I can't get the right resolution and I'm all backed up :( </rant>
[16:15] <daftykins> polpo: boot it, drop to TTY1 and pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:15] <Amoz> polpo, try dmesg ? are you able to reach a TTY ? (ctrl+alt+f1-4)
[16:16] <daftykins> boze: that is an absolute mess of tasks all in one post
[16:16] <cfhowlett> this ^
[16:17] <Amoz> it doesn't even sound like ubuntu-related problems ^
[16:17] <polpo> Amoz: yes, I can reach the terminal, even though I ctrl+alt+fx does not work
[16:17] <polpo> I'll try to paste it, thanks
[16:17] <daftykins> boze: got a spare disk? clone your work laptop install perhaps?
[16:17] <tgm4883> boze: sounds like you just need to setup the correct info in xorg.conf
[16:18] <boze> tgm4883: for the EDID? I tried that, but nvidia doesn't seem to respect it too well
[16:18] <daftykins> nvidia respects manual EDIDs or modelines just fine
[16:18] <boze> the mode lines i mean
[16:18] <daftykins> if you do them right.
[16:18] <tgm4883> boze: for the monitor, you also need to ignore edid
[16:19] <tgm4883> boze: what tv?
[16:19] <Linnak> hi guys, is this ubuntu? https://youtu.be/Ljhm9LHLUZg?t=8m56s
[16:20] <Amoz> Linnak, probably
[16:20] <daftykins> Linnak: ^+1
[16:20] <boze> tgm4883: it is a sony bravia kdf-50e3000
[16:20] <Linnak> unity or?
[16:20] <Amoz> At least I'm pretty sure it's Gnome
[16:20] <Amoz> uhm
[16:20] <Amoz> nautilus
[16:21] <Linnak> Thanks
[16:21] <Amoz> but yeah, it's possibly unity
[16:21] <daftykins> you can see the purple computer icon inside nautilus there which looks like an ubuntu thing
[16:21] <Linnak> I just find the theme and shell now
[16:22] <Linnak> i just need to ...
[16:22] <Linnak> Gnome or unity?
[16:22] <Linnak> i know unity is just a compiz plugin, but can the gnome panel be hidden?
[16:23] <daftykins> probably turned off with some kinda customiser
[16:23] <polpo> daftykins: it is a bit difficult for me to pastebin xorg.0.conf, is there something I should look for?
[16:23] <daftykins> polpo: apt-get install pastebinit ; pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:24] <daftykins> polpo: i'm not debugging a Xorg log via someone else, file or nothing. sorry.
[16:25] <polpo> daftykins: just a minute then
[16:25] <MonkeyDust> Linnak  yes, you can set the left panel to autohide
[16:26] <Linnak> MonkeyDust in unity. i know, but in gnome 3?
[16:27] <Riviera> hi :)
[16:27] <daftykins> welcome
[16:28] <polpo> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11974250/
[16:28] <Riviera> is there a memcheck boot option on the installation media?  I sadly cannot test that myself right now.
[16:28] <daftykins> Riviera: sure, or just download memtest86+
[16:28] <daftykins> that has a bootable ISO too.
[16:29] <cfhowlett> Riviera, or use utility in bios
[16:29] <Riviera> daftykins: i would also need a live cd, and as mean as it is, i only have one usb stick at the moment :)
[16:29] <daftykins> polpo: you're aware you're using the open driver nouveau, then?
[16:29] <daftykins> Riviera: uh-huh, but multiple ISOs can be placed on a single flash drive
[16:29] <polpo> actually no, I wa not aware of that
[16:30] <Riviera> daftykins: i thought that wasn't particularly easy
[16:30] <polpo> Is that a problem?
[16:30] <didar> Riviera, UNetBootIn
[16:30] <daftykins> polpo: what's your nvidia card? GT210?
[16:31] <didar> Riviera, also XBoot on Windows
[16:31] <polpo> daftykins: lsbpci tells me GT216M
[16:32] <Riviera> didar: ah cool, thanks a lot
[16:32] <daftykins> polpo: cool, close enough
[16:32] <daftykins> polpo: "dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit" please
[16:33] <didar> np
[16:33] <geet> exit
[16:34] <polpo> daftykins: it tells me that I'm trying to send an empty document
[16:34] <daftykins> polpo: ok, just checking
[16:34] <daftykins> polpo: have you tested whether the guest session has the same issue?
[16:35] <polpo> daftykins: actually not, I'll try right away
[16:35] <daftykins> cool :)
[16:36] <polpo> daftykins: guest works fine. I feel a bit confused =D
[16:36] <daftykins> polpo: ok some config in your user account has killed it by the sounds
[16:37] <daftykins> polpo: two choices: either look up where KDE stores its' configs and rename those folders to give you a blank slate, or do the shotgun approach of resetting everything via "mv ~/.config ~/.configold"
[16:38] <daftykins> the above will hide your configs - you can just copy individual programs back from .configold -> .config to get them back
[16:38] <Ranieri_> Hey, I'm looking to legally hack my own WPA2 router.
[16:38] <polpo> daftykins: thanks, I'll try to rename the folder and reboot =)
[16:38] <Ranieri_> Is there any good software for this?
[16:39] <daftykins> Ranieri_: sorry, we don't support that conversation here.
[16:39] <Ranieri_> daftykins: oh
[16:39] <cfhowlett> Ranieri_, wrong channel
[16:39] <Ranieri_> daftykins: networking?
[16:39] <artois> Ranieri_: heaps
[16:39] <daftykins> ##networking or perhaps #kali-linux
[16:39] <Ranieri_> iight thanks guys
[16:39] <artois> probably won't be much fun/work if WPS is enabled, though
[16:41] <Ranieri_> How do I check what wireless card I have on this shitty ass Thinkpad?
[16:41] <OerHeks> sudo do toiletpaper
[16:42] <Ranieri_> OerHeks: heh, but seriously
[16:42] <teward> Ranieri_: lspci should help a little
[16:42] <teward> so would manufacturer specs information
[16:42] <teward> (i.e. data from the manufacturer)
[16:42] <teward> (also please keep the profanity to a minimum here)
[16:43] <Ranieri_> teward: Sorry, yeah the output is hard to read though
[16:43] <Ranieri_> This is all my pci devices I think
[16:44] <daftykins> Ranieri_: share it via http://paste.ubuntu.com
[16:44] <OerHeks> lspci -vvnn

[16:52] <Bombo> OerHeks: is it safe to do-release-upgrade from 14.04.2 to 15.02?
[16:52] <Bombo> 'does it work' ;)
[16:52] <Pici> Bombo: you'd need to go through 14.10 first.
[16:52] <Bombo> Pici: how?
[16:53] <Pici> Bombo: do-release-upgrade can bring you to the next version, or if you are on an LTS, to the next LTS if available.
[16:53] <Pici> You cannot skip releases otherwise.
[16:54] <Bombo> Pici: using Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS right now
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> Bombo  my advice is to stick to 14.04
[16:55] <Bombo> MonkeyDust: the systemd/lxc bug could be fixed in 15.02
[16:55] <Pici> Bombo: your current release will be supported until 2019. 15.04 is only supported until mid 2016.
[16:55] <Amoz> Bombo, you have two options. Either upgrade to 14.10 and then 15.04, or reinstall 15.04 directly.
[16:56] <x23> i can't use my usb, don't have partition table and i can't create it
[16:56] <Pici> Bombo: you are free to upgrade, but you need to keep in mind that your release will only have 9 months of support (from april 2015)
[16:56] <Bombo> Pici: can't i upgrade to the next version when support ends for 15.04?
[16:57] <Pici> Bombo: sure.  Some people don't like having to upgrade every time a release comes out though.  Businesses certainly can't deal with having to schedule OS upgrades that frequently.
[16:57] <x23> somebody?
[16:58] <Bombo> will the support fix the systemd+lxc bug that is (probably) fixed in 15.04? hmm maybe 14.12 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1346734
[16:58] <Pici> Bombo: what do you mean?
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> Bombo  there's no such thing as 15.02 or 14.12 ... it's 15.04 or 14.10
[16:59] <Bombo> Pici: i got this problem, lxc doesn't work, maybe because of systemd
[17:00] <Bombo> MonkeyDust: i just read it there under 'milestone' Ubuntu ubuntu-14.12
[17:02] <Bombo> this are the commands i use on 14.04.2: 'lxc-create -n jess32 -t debian -- --arch i386' then to start it 'lxc-start -n jess32' error i get is this: 'Failed to mount cgroup at /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd: Permission denied'
[17:03] <Amoz> Bombo, and as what user do you do this?
[17:03] <Bombo> Amoz: root
[17:03] <x23> somebody?
[17:04] <sebita21> hay algún canal de ubntu español?
[17:04] <Bombo> (add sudo before)
[17:05] <Amoz> x23, first of all, stop spamming
[17:05] <artois> sebita21: /msg alis list *ubunt*es
[17:05] <x23> Amoz, two messages is not spamming
[17:06] <x23> sebita21, #ubuntu-es
[17:06] <Amoz> x23, we saw your question perfectly fine the first time
[17:06] <x23> Amoz, ok
[17:06] <sebita21> nice
[17:06] <sebita21> xd
[17:07] <suraj> hi
[17:07] <Amoz> x23, first of all, is the usb device identified? can you describe more in detail what "i can't create partition table" means?
[17:09] <x23> Amoz, my usb is identified, i used gparted for create a table of partitions or partitions
[17:10] <x23> Amoz, i also used cfdisk
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> !info cfdisk
[17:11] <x23> MonkeyDust, No primary partition is marked bootable .
[17:11] <x23> DOS MBR can not boot this. Toggle bootable flag of the current partition
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> x23  DOS?
[17:12] <Amoz> x23, what exactly are you trying to do?
[17:12] <Amoz> and what makes you draw the conclusion that you can't create the partition table?
[17:12] <x23> Amoz, create a partition
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> x23  i'm not following you
[17:13] <sebita21> I only have two Governors , energy savings and performance.
[17:13] <Amoz> x23, did you try creating it and then e.g. print it with fdisk -l /dev/sdx ?
[17:13] <MonkeyDust> x23  boot off a live dvd or usb, use gparted to create partitions, done
[17:13] <x23> Amoz, I can not create partitions on the USB
[17:13] <sebita21> I have not ondemand and conservative
[17:14] <x23> Amoz, The disk /dev/sde not contain a valid partition table
[17:14] <sebita21> I happened to migrate from i386 to amd64
[17:14] <Amoz> x23, when and where is that message shown?
[17:15] <x23> Amoz, right now after fdisk -l /dev/sde
[17:16] <Amoz> x23, the only thing I can think about is: broken?
[17:16] <Bombo> x23: after creating a partition i think you have to replug it in... did you?
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> x23  what's the outcome of   lsblk | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:17] <mynona> NICK mynona
[17:17] <x23> Amoz, could be broken
[17:17] <Bombo> wasn't it so that one could just dd the ubuntu.iso on a usb device? and it boots?
[17:18] <Amoz> x23, if you tried different tools and you're sure you know how to use them, then that's my best guess.
[17:18] <genii> Yes, they are hybrid images
[17:18] <Amoz> x23, did you try creating e.g. a bootable usb startdisk with the builtin tool?
[17:18] <Bombo> x23: you just want to put a ubuntu.iso on the stick?
[17:19] <x23> amoz,I used dd to make a bootable usb
[17:19] <plastic> hello; what's the easier way to manage the firewall in a just installed ubuntu? (I dont have it, trying to help a friend)
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> !info gufw | plastic
[17:19] <OerHeks> plastic, install the gui: gufw , as ufw is already installed
[17:20] <plastic> thank you, guys
[17:20] <OerHeks> you will find it in systemsettings
[17:20] <Amoz> x23, and what happened?
[17:21] <Amoz> you could try verifying if the USB has exactly the same data as the image you DD:d
[17:21] <Amoz> either it has or not, and if it doesn't you'll know it's broken
[17:21] <daftykins> x23: what of?
[17:21] <x23> Amoz, I did it successfully on several occasions, but in the past it was copying the iso and I turned off the computer and restart this is the result
[17:22] <x23> Amoz, I had an electrical failure and was without electricity
[17:23] <x23> Amoz, in the middle of last process
[17:23] <Bombo> electricity is essential
[17:23] <x23> Bombo, yeah
[17:23] <Bombo> ;)
[17:23] <Amoz> x23, in the process of using dd to copy an image to the usb?
[17:23] <x23> Amoz, yes
[17:24] <daftykins> x23: what's your actual issue here? did you dd the ISO to the drive or to a partition? it has to be /dev/sdX not /dev/sdX1
[17:24] <Amoz> and now it won't boot if you write an ISO to it?
[17:24] <Amoz> x23, ^
[17:24] <bcc> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/2dda6495a2aa08842f72 I guess that aint good

[17:25] <daftykins> bcc: nope
[17:25] <x23> Amoz, It does nothing
[17:25] <bcc> bloody ST2000DM001, pieces of crap
[17:25] <daftykins> bcc: can you run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdd | pastebinit" and share the link?
[17:25] <daftykins> bcc: that kind of language is not appropriate here
[17:27] <bcc> sorry - http://paste.ubuntu.com/11974532/
[17:27] <Amoz> x23, so it sounds like the power failure killed your usb ?
[17:27] <x23> amoz,  ;(
[17:28] <x23> Amoz, even with testdisk I could recover any partition or the partition table
[17:28] <daftykins> bcc: line 80, table ID 197 - 168 current pending sectors. that disk is indeed toast, backup if you can and seek warranty options / replace.
[17:29] <bcc> daftykins, okay! its mdadm raid 5 that is still reporting as "clean"
[17:29] <daftykins> bcc: ah, that one's a member disk?
[17:29] <x23> 16GB was , I cry
[17:29] <bcc> daftykins, yeah
[17:29] <daftykins> cool

[17:30] <x23> Amoz, I lasted two days ;(
[17:30] <Amoz> x23, what brand on the USB?
[17:30] <Amoz> or model
[17:30] <daftykins> bcc: recent article pointed to HGSTs as having a low failure rate
[17:30] <daftykins> though i'm a WD fan myself ;)
[17:30] <bcc> yeah me too
[17:31] <bcc> I was thinking of getting the NAS red's
[17:31] <x23> kingston datatraveler 101
[17:31] <bcc> daftykins, so it means, 168 sectors are bad?
[17:31] <daftykins> yep
[17:31] <daftykins> bcc: that's what i run, i bought vouchers too to add a fourth year of warranty
[17:32] <x23> Amoz, tks a lot
[17:32] <bcc> for your home setup?
[17:32] <ioria> x23 what tools have to tried to format it ?
[17:32] <Amoz> x23, again, verify if it can retain data or not, that way you'll know for sure

[17:34] <menace> hi, my networkmanager (14.04 with updates) always tries to connect to another wlan at home, which is not mine
[17:34] <menace> only after mistry, it chooses the right one
[17:34] <menace> is this a known bug?
[17:34] <bcc> ah, n Warranty "Expiration 13-Sep-2015  "
[17:34] <bcc> quick!
[17:34] <Amoz> menace, delete it from your list of previously connected networks?
[17:35] <menace> i never did connect
[17:35] <menace> and already removed it twice
[17:35] <Amoz> menace, what's the SSID?
[17:36] <menace> Fritzbox somethingsomething
[17:36] <daftykins> ah har
[17:36] <menace> ?
[17:37] <menace> this ssid is not mine
[17:37] <Amoz> menace, let the profile stay but disable "connect automatically" ?
[17:38] <daftykins> hehe
[17:38] <daftykins> we've lost menace

[17:44] <raju_> how to hack wifi password
[17:44] <julian-delphiki> raju_: that isn't appropriate for this channel
[17:44] <elementary> hi

[17:44] <raju_> hi
[17:45] <dearn> Hey guys, how to make Ubuntu boot in text mode (no splash screen but info about services starting etc) but then start gdm ?
[17:45] <Amoz> dearn, nosplash as boot parameter?
[17:45] <daftykins> dearn: edit your kernel boot parameters, ditch 'quiet splash' and put 'text' instead.
[17:46] <dearn> daftykins: isn't 'text' text mode so no X starting?
[17:46] <julian-delphiki> raju_: this is a channel for ubuntu support, you might want to go to a security channel
[17:46] <daftykins> hmm, you might be right there - my brain might've just had a fail :)
[17:46] <daftykins> either way, removing those two params will probably give what you want
[17:47] <daftykins> dearn: test it one-time by holding left shift at boot and removing them
