[18:31] <Console> Thanks ZerOlegend & EriC^^
[18:33] <artificial_fly> hi all
[18:34] <ZerOlegend> helo
[18:38] <francois_> hello
[18:43] <Console> Would anyone be willing to point me in the right direction to reboot into recovery mode on Ubuntu Server 14.04 and I do not have a grub menu as I just ssh in once it's booted.
[18:43] <ZerOlegend> Console, you would need to be at that machine i believe
[18:44] <Console> Yikes, so if I made a syntax error while editing /etc/sudoers, what would be the best way to change that?
[18:44] <e-i-k-e> hi
[18:45] <e-i-k-e> how can i utilize sed to remove the following parts from a text file:
(?s)(.*?)

[18:46] <e-i-k-e> sed -i 's/
(?s)(.*?)
//g' file.html does not work
[18:46] <e-i-k-e> i think a have to escape certain characters, but i'm not sure
[18:46] <solsTiCe> at least escape / in <\/div>
[18:47] <e-i-k-e> adding -r to the command and placing the regexp parts in [] brackets also won't make this work for me
[18:47] <dasjoe> Dou you want to remove literally that string including the raw regex or should sed interpret the regex?
[18:47] <solsTiCe> e-i-k-e: ^
[18:47] <e-i-k-e> dasjoe: sed should interpret the regexp
[18:48] <dasjoe> Right, then try sed -i 's,
(?s)(.*?)
,,g' if you don't want to escape the / in the last tag
[18:50] <dave_den> anyone else notice that cron will continue to run a user's crontab under the primary GID of that user, even if the user has been removed from that group? Ubuntu 12.04
[18:50] <dbugger> Hey guys. I have been thinking of buying a new Graphic Card, but I am not sure if I have PCI-E slots. Is there any way I can find out from the terminal?
[18:51] <Bazyl> Zer0legend man, acording to link you've send me i cannot find "Experimental" tab, neither "Automaximize value" option
[18:52] <Bazyl> Zer0legend i am talking ofcourse about ccsm options
[18:52] <solsTiCe> dbugger: may be with dmidecode, not sure
[18:52] <trijntje_> dave_den: that sounds like a possible security bug, best report it and tag it as such
[18:52] <bbryant> dbugger: just open the case
[18:52] <bbryant> lll
[18:52] <bbryant> *lol
[18:53] <lotuspsychje> dbugger: dmidecode | grep "PCI"
[18:53] <izishack> #ubuntu.hr
[18:53] <e-i-k-e> dasjoe: also won't work. the parts that should be replaced are still in the document. the regexp itself is working when i'm using gedit
[18:54] <pbx> how can i auto-set display brightness when i plug/unplug my laptop charger?
[18:54] <ZerOlegend> Bazyl, i don't know what else you can try other than removing thunderbird and reinstalling it
[18:54] <e-i-k-e> dasjoe: when i execute the command sed is working for a second, the file gets a new timestamp but thats it
[18:54] <Bazyl> Zer0legend so: sudo apt-get remove thunderbird ?
[18:55] <bbryant> Bazyl: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall thunderbird
[18:55] <bbryant> first
[18:55] <Bazyl> bbryant, thx
[18:55] <solsTiCe> dbugger: dmidecode -t slot
[18:56] <dasjoe> e-i-k-e: are you sure your regex matches what you think it does?
[18:58] <e-i-k-e> no, but at least in gedit's search and replace function it works. never used regex until today
[18:58] <Bazyl> Zer0legend, reinstall didn't work... is there any settings inside unity that saves this state? can i reset it ?
[18:58] <OerHeks> Bazyl, most likely reset compiz?
[18:58] <e-i-k-e> dasjoe: thats the content that has to be removed http://pastebin.com/zfcSGkXu
[18:59] <Bazyl> 0erHeks, ok how can i do it ?
[18:59] <yggdrasil> how can i find out what version a package im about to download is ?
[18:59] <OerHeks> Bazyl, install dconf, then run: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
[18:59] <yggdrasil> apt-cache search ?
[18:59] <dbugger> lotuspsychje, I did, what am I looking for?
[19:00] <Bazyl> 0erHeks, will try
[19:00] <dbugger> solsTiCe, I did, what am I looking for?
[19:00] <lotuspsychje> dbugger: PCIE 16X ?
[19:00] <hxm> hello, itunes server is DAAP?
[19:00] <dbugger> lotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9348224/
[19:00] <dbugger> lotuspsychje, how does it look?
[19:01] <lotuspsychje> dbugger: should be pcie express yes
[19:01] <dasjoe> e-i-k-e: by default sed does not match * as newlines
[19:02] <dbugger> lotuspsychje, great!
[19:02] <dbugger> I have been thinking of buying a Graphic card "GeForce GTX 970". Will I have problems with compatibility in Ubuntu?
[19:02] <e-i-k-e> dasjoe: do you have a solution for me?
[19:02] <dsfdsfsdfsd> hi, i just installed ubuntu to my thinkpad and updated the system and im having weird "problem" or something, my connection randomly "disconnects", it shows it's connected but it does something and wont work for sometime, logs show something like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/9348235/
[19:02] <Bazyl> 0erHeks, should i restart PC, unity or something ?
[19:03] <athan> Hello everyone. Is there a way to reverse-lookup an init script (or upstart job, unsure right now) from a process's PID?
[19:03] <theadmin> athan: Well, you could tell the process name from the PID using pgrep.
[19:03] <bbryant> athan: unfortunately not
[19:04] <athan> I can see the process is forked rigth from /sbin/init, is there a way to find _how_ it got there?
[19:04] <theadmin> athan: And that should more or less point you in the right direction
[19:04] <athan> hmm
[19:04] <OerHeks> Bazyl, maybe logout/login will do
[19:04] <Bazyl> 0erHeks, and by the way /org/compiz/ directories does not  exist in my filesystem
[19:04] <athan> alrighty, thank you
[19:04] <bbryant> theadmin: processes are generally started as detached children
[19:04] <lotuspsychje> dsfdsfsdfsd: what kind of wifi chip?
[19:04] <dsfdsfsdfsd> intel 3945abg
[19:04] <lotuspsychje> dsfdsfsdfsd: ubuntu version?
[19:04] <athan> I haven't found anything in /etc/init/ or /etc/init.d/ :/
[19:04] <dsfdsfsdfsd> 14.04
[19:04] <theadmin> Bazyl: It's not a directory, it's a gconf key (gconf is a sort of heresy similar to the Windows Registry)
[19:04] <theadmin> Or dconf
[19:05] <theadmin> Yeah, that's dconf
[19:05] <lotuspsychje> dsfdsfsdfsd: did you install with eth cable/updates enabled during setup?
[19:05] <dsfdsfsdfsd> i installed with WLAN and i noticed that it did this in setup too which slowed down the install since it had to reconnect or something during install and i have updated the system
[19:06] <e-i-k-e> dasjoe: maybe there is another way to do what i want without using sed
[19:06] <lotuspsychje> dsfdsfsdfsd: additional drivers section doesnt show alternate drivers?
[19:06] <dsfdsfsdfsd> havent checked that yet but i dont believe there is anything, but let me check for sure
[19:07] <dsfdsfsdfsd> no, there is no additional drivers
[19:07] <trism> athan: well if it is an upstart job: initctl list; will have the pid at the end, so you could pass it to grep
[19:07] <lotuspsychje> dsfdsfsdfsd: you could also boot livecd and compare drivers from your installed system lshw -C network
[19:07] <solsTiCe> dsfdsfsdfsd: http://askubuntu.com/questions/465848/frequent-deauthentication-from-wifi-reason-6-in-a-centrino-advanced-n-6230-r
[19:07] <athan> trism: Thank you :)
[19:08] <dsfdsfsdfsd> is the driver any different since it seems it did in live too
[19:09] <lotuspsychje> dsfdsfsdfsd: not sure, try the link from solsTiCe
[19:09] <artificial_fly> so anyone using nvidia optimus? :P
[19:09] <bodasd> facebook
[19:09] <lotuspsychje> artificial_fly: i think its nvidia-prime now
[19:09] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime | artificial_fly
[19:10] <bodasd> what is preferable to learn after C language, C++ or Java
[19:10] <dsfdsfsdfsd> well when i did iw reg get it says country GB, although i think it should be FI, and i already did try set it to FI but it's on GB again
[19:10] <lotuspsychje> bodasd: check the ##programming guys
[19:12] <dsfdsfsdfsd> well i changed REGDOMAIN= from /etc/default/crda to REGDOMAIN=FI and im going to reboot now and watch the logs and hope that it fixed the problem
[19:13] <xubuntuuser> when trying to access a workgroup through Thunar, a request for user/pw comes up preventing me from viewing the workgroup.  where is the samba setting to disable this since I have no user/pw set for the workgroup?
[19:15] <fdfddfdf> well even after changing that file it still says in iw reg get "country GB"
[19:16] <fdfddfdf> but no problems yet though
[19:18] <ubuntul0ver> can sb help me? my applications crash ..
[19:18] <ubuntul0ver> so often ..
[19:18] <fdfddfdf> is there btw anything i need to change from defaults when using SSD?
[19:18] <bbryant> well can you elaborate?
[19:18] <ubuntul0ver> i have problems with windows using openGL
[19:19] <ubuntul0ver> seg-faults ..
[19:19] <TheNet> does anyone know how to set gitlabs to use a certain IP?
[19:20] <Rory> fdfddfdf: Not really any more. You can squeeze a little more performance out of your filesystem, and reduce the amount of writes being made (and thus reduce wear) - here is a good starting point https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd
[19:20] <pbx> fdfddfdf, nothing in particular.  if you're a tweaker then tweak away. but the SSD is just a faster HD as far as ubuntu is concerned
[19:20] <fdfddfdf> what about TRIM, should i care about that?
[19:20] <longloop> Hi! Attempting to create a symlink of A/B/C in A/B/D
[19:21] <ubuntul0ver> is there a apt-command to reinstall all installed packets ?
[19:21] <longloop> is ln -s A/B/C A/B/D wrong?
[19:21] <ubuntul0ver> i've tried with synaptic but it ended in a seg-fault
[19:22] <ubuntul0ver> longloop: ln -s target link-name
[19:22] <Rory> fdfddfdf: You should use TRIM http://askubuntu.com/a/443779
[19:22] <ubuntul0ver> longloop: looks good ..
[19:22] <longloop> ubuntul0ver: I am doing that . but it doesnt work
[19:23] <ubuntul0ver> longloop: what exactly ?
[19:23] <pbx> fdfddfdf, i'm pretty sure trim is enabled by default in 14.04.  i see it in cron.weekly
[19:23] <ubuntul0ver> longloop: are you trying to link ?
[19:23] <Rory> pbx: It's vendor-dependent
[19:23] <fdfddfdf> it says that only intel and samsung ssds have it by default, mine is kingston so do i just add --no-model-check to that file
[19:23] <dj_rechner> my
[19:23] <ubuntul0ver> longloop: ./ ?
[19:24] <Rory> fdfddfdf: Did you TRIM on Windows?
[19:24] <longloop> @ubuntul0ver while being in A/B I typed  ...
[19:24] <longloop> ln -s D C
[19:24] <fdfddfdf> yes
[19:24] <longloop> but it wont work
[19:24] <Rory> fdfddfdf: Then yes.
[19:24] <Rory> fdfddfdf: You can also just do it manually every so often with: sudo fstrim -v /
[19:24] <ubuntul0ver> longloop: ln -s D C only works in the same dirctory ..
[19:25] <fdfddfdf> so that's enough that i dont need to worry about it then anymore since it should now run trim for it weekly
[19:25] <ubuntul0ver> longloop: try using absolute paths ..
[19:25] <ubuntul0ver> longloop: or hard links .. (without -s)
[19:25] <berz3rk> Hey, where can I get help regarding Unity Next
[19:26] <longloop> @ubuntul0ver thats what I want .. I wan link of A/B/D in A/B/D
[19:26] <longloop> Okay
[19:26] <longloop> trying
[19:26] <xubuntuuser> anyone good with samba configurations?
[19:28] <pbx> xubuntuuser, ask your question with detail and you'll find out
[19:28] <SchrodingersScat> or rather, ask your real question.
[19:29] <xubuntuuser> samba is asking for a workgroup password when there isn't one
[19:29] <xubuntuuser> i need to disable that
[19:29] <fdfddfdf> shouldn't chromium have flash or whatever did it use, was it called pepper? mine says for example for speedtest that it requires flash
[19:32] <grosjean> yo
[19:34] <fdfddfdf> well looks like my problem isnt solved, it dropped for short time again
[19:37] <fdfddfdf> either it says iwl3945 queue 4 stuck or queue 2 and "on demand firmware reload"
[19:38] <rezam> S
[19:38] <fdfddfdf> happens usually when downloading something
[19:43] <MrSavage> I'm just wondering, how good is ubuntu for gaming with wine?
[19:43] <grosjean> MrSavage: like any other linux distro :)
[19:43] <MrSavage> i'm making my switch from windows to linux soon
[19:43] <MrSavage> when i got the time
[19:43] <MrSavage> I only game though so i'm not sure if this is a good idea
[19:44] <grosjean> it's depend on your game utilization
[19:45] <MrSavage> well games that require high end systems like mine being that of an intel i5-4670k and an amd r9 200 series
[19:45] <MrSavage> so games like arma 3
[19:45] <MrSavage> what do you think?
[19:46] <MrSavage> or games like league of legends
[19:46] <grosjean> if you are a hard gamer, they maybe run more natively under windows
[19:46] <grosjean> i know a friend, hard gamer too
[19:46] <grosjean> he has two partition, one for linux, the other for windows when he play
[19:47] <grosjean> in fact, it's depend on your need
[19:48] <thumpba> any suggestions for xmpp chat app alternative to pidgin?
[19:48] <MrSavage> grosjean: all i run are games
[19:48] <MrSavage> i just hate the windows environment
[19:49] <grosjean> thumpba: empathy ?

[19:49] <Saleem> how to create network proxy in ubuntu 12.04
[19:49] <grosjean> MrSavage: all i can say is make a try !
[19:49] <grosjean> Saleem: what do you want to do?
[19:49] <MrSavage> grosjean: so i should see if i can run everything in Wine?
[19:49] <DJones> MrSavage: There a quite a lot of games that run under steam on linux now
[19:49] <grosjean> MrSavage: yep
[19:50] <MrSavage> ok
[19:50] <Saleem> i want to have new network proxy created for ubuntu 12.04
[19:50] <grosjean> Saleem: what are you calling network proxy ?
[19:50] <bekks> Saleem: So install a proxy daemon, configure it, and use it. :)
[19:51] <Saleem> as in ubuntu 12.04 there is proxy setting that can be  set as manual or automatic i need to set
[19:51] <grosjean> thumpba: both gajim and empathy are pretty cool
[19:52] <ubuntul0ver> can i list the files belonging to a packet with an apt-command ?
[19:52] <grosjean> Saleem: this is here to configure your proxy settings
[19:52] <grosjean> like in enterprise, there is a proxy, you need to configure it on your pc
[19:53] <Saleem> i want to create new proxy
[19:53] <SchrodingersScat> !info tinyproxy | Saleem
[19:53] <Saleem> can i know the full steps
[19:53] <grosjean> apt-get install tinyproxy
[19:53] <grosjean> aptitude install tinyproxy
[19:53] <bekks> Saleem: So install a proxy daemon, configure it, and use it. :) A good thing to start is "squid" or "tinyproxy".
[19:54] <Saleem> do i need proxy server for it
[19:54] <bekks> Saleem: Of course.
[19:54] <Saleem> where do i find proxy server
[19:54] <bekks> Saleem: I just told you.
[19:55] <Saleem> u told as tinyproxy
[19:56] <grosjean> tinyproxy or squid are proxy server
[19:56] <Saleem> ok
[19:56] <Saleem> can we find in ubuntu software center
[19:56] <grosjean> yes
[19:57] <Saleem> do we put ip address
[19:57] <grosjean> there's ton of doc on internet about squid or tinyproxy
[19:57] <bekks> Saleem: You need to install a proxy server software first, like squid or tinyproxy
[19:58] <Saleem> is there any guide pdf or documentation of how to set
[20:01] <Saleem> is there any guide link for setting with tinyproxy
[20:01] <bbryant> Saleem: #tinyproxy
[20:04] <Kathleen23>  High Quality photos and videos http://s0o.de/f4t4dss
[20:04] <saleem_> is there any instruction guide for setting up tinyproxy

[20:07] <soman> Installed some debs with dpkg -i and a little broken the system. Installaion failed with some dependencies error + imcompatible architecture. How can I uninstall those packages knowing only deb filenames? It's a deb based distro.
[20:07] <grosjean> saleem: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tinyproxy
[20:07] <grosjean> french doc ^^
[20:08] <saleem> i will check
[20:08] <saleem> its in french language
[20:08] <grosjean> as i've said
[20:08] <bbryant> saleem: what's your native language?
[20:09] <grosjean> soman: if you have the deb packages you know the name of the package
[20:09] <saleem> english
[20:10] <soman> grosjean: how to find out package name from deb filename? For example for 'libfontconfig1_2.9.0-7.1_amd64' ? libfontconfig>?
[20:10] <soman> and what will happen with replaced / updated packages? They will return at old ver or will be removed completely?
[20:11] <grosjean> soman: so here your package is libfontconfig
[20:11] <grosjean> you can verify with dpkg -l | grep libfontconfig
[20:11] <saleem> i need in english guide
[20:12] <grosjean> saleem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers/DansGuardian#Install_Tinyproxy

[20:15] <in_deep_thought> so it is
[20:18] <wbill> Hello got a ?
[20:20] <teward> wbill: if you have a question, just ask it
[20:20] <wbill> is bash shell history limited onscreen(normal terminal tty window) to a certain amount of lines such as if the history is 2000 lines long and im only visually seeing beack to line 1001 how do i change whatever tobe able to see all when i do the history command even if i have to ake an alias etc
[20:20] <bbryant> wbill: ~/.bash_history
[20:20] <bbryant> it's all in that file
[20:21] <bbryant> at least everything that's saved between sessions
[20:21] <bbryant> it might not have your current sessions history in it yet
[20:21] <bbryant> but the rest is in that file
[20:22] <wbill> ok what is the command line if i wanted toprint that whole history to a file say in my home dir or other?
[20:24] <OerHeks> wbill cp ~/.bash_history ~/whatever.txt
[20:24] <wbill> just a copy is cool ok great tyvm
[20:25] <wbill> much aprreciated
[20:25] <OerHeks> wbill, have fun
[20:32] <wbill> ok 1 more ? is this command only permanent for the remaining uptime or will it still remain if i come from a cold reboot?  "export HISTSIZE=9000"
[20:36] <Tinkerlad> If grub wont install while I am installing ubuntu server 14.04.1 what are my options, can I install it later?
[20:36] <OerHeks> wbill,  do that in ~/.bashrc > HISTSIZE & HISTFILESIZE
[20:36] <OerHeks> wbill, that will do for that user only
[20:37] <grosjean> Tinkerlad: you must install it before reboot
[20:37] <DualBootMePlease> Can someone please answer some basic questions about Ubuntu
[20:37] <DualBootMePlease> Uh ... Ubuntu \ Windows Dual Boot please?
[20:37] <wbill> and if not what is your suggestion as how or where to put it so it occurs on startup?
[20:37] <wbill> ok cool ty
[20:37] <wbill> thanks again
[20:37] <DualBootMePlease> If I have theoretically manually installed Ubuntu alongside Windows XP, but I restart my computer and ONLY Windows XP boots, what should I be doing different to find Ubuntu?
[20:38] <OerHeks> wbill, for all users /etc/bash.bashrc
[20:38] <brianblaze420> you need grub
[20:38] <brianblaze420> DualBootMePlease:
[20:38] <brianblaze420> also why r u using xp?
[20:38] <wbill> ok coolio awesome
[20:38] <xangua> DualBootMePlease: you shouldn't neither be using windows XP or Wubi
[20:38] <DualBootMePlease> I was never given any option with the Ubuntu install from LIveUSB for "intall alongside Windows XP" so i manually created the two necessary partitions beside the Windows XP partition. This is okay?
[20:38] <Pinkamena_D> so I have a multimedia key I cant get to work. I have a keycode for it and it does get recoenised by the keyboard settings as "LaunchA" but actually pressing it it does not execte the command
[20:38] <dragonMalta> hi...i have an omega oan133 android netbook using arm cortex A8....can i flash it in order to install xubuntu?
[20:39] <brianblaze420> DualBootMePlease: it's fine as long as you install grub
[20:39] <brianblaze420> also burn xp to the ground lol
[20:40] <monkeyjuice> DualBootMePlease:  how many partitions are on your harddrive
[20:43] <DualBootMePlease> Can i install GRUB from a LiveUSB instance of Ubuntu?
[20:43] <DualBootMePlease> Please?
[20:43] <daftykins> yes that's part of the installation process
[20:44] <DualBootMePlease> Okay. So WindowsXP pro was installed and working. I used LiveUSB to install Ubuntu 13.10 via "select other" and created primary and swap partition alongside Windows partition.
[20:44] <DualBootMePlease> Upon reboot, only WindowsXP loads. How access Ubuntu?
[20:44] <DualBootMePlease> What i did wrong?
[20:44] <teward> DualBootMePlease: 13.10 is End of Life, first off, we can't really provide much support for it...
[20:44] <rfxchlx> you can update grub
[20:45] <waressearcher2> is OpenJDK as good as closed source one ?
[20:45] <rfxchlx> update-grub2
[20:45] <teward> !pm | DualBootMePlease
[20:45] <rfxchlx> easy as that and Linux will recognise both partitions
[20:45] <teward> as well unsolicited private messages annoy people.
[20:45] <daftykins> waressearcher2: just try it and find out, it really comes down to what you're trying to run. a java channel might provide more insight as to what works well and what doesn't
[20:45] <monkeyjuice> DualBootMePlease: windows is most likley using all the partiti0ns on your hard drive you can only have four of them
[20:46] <monkeyjuice> so you cant dual boot
[20:46] <waressearcher2> http://www.howtogeek.com/198476/how-to-install-minecraft-on-ubuntu-or-any-other-linux-distribution I read that page about installing minecraft on linux and they suggest OpenJDK, is it as fast ?
[20:46] <waressearcher2> I mean there is another one not open, right ? is it worth to try it ?
[20:46] <daftykins> waressearcher2: just try it.

[20:47] <littlebit> hi people, I have an intel atom zotac board with an onboard nvidia graphic chip, and as an OS xubuntu. And I wanted to see if there is any performance gain in performance, but when rebooting the OS I don't have my bootsplash anymore. Can someone tell me how to change that back?
[20:47] <brianblaze420> u probably skipped the install grub part when installing ubuntu DualBootMePlease
[20:47] <trijntje_> DualBootMePlease: something went wrong with the install. The easiest is to now delete the ubuntu and swap partitions, and start the install again
[20:47] <daftykins> littlebit: performance gain in performance - between what and what?
[20:47] <DualBootMePlease> The install said it worked fine, "ubuntu install complete, restart to finish"
[20:47] <rfxchlx> are you logged into the system or with the live USB?
[20:47] <DualBootMePlease> LiveUSB.
[20:48] <rfxchlx> you need to execute chroot
[20:48] <brianblaze420> DualBootMePlease: yes u installed ubuntu probably flawlessly but u did not install grub
[20:48] <DualBootMePlease> I can only access WindowsXp right now, and have no internet via it since it needs a driver.
[20:48] <littlebit> daftykins: gain performance at playing a 1080p mkv file with no lag
[20:48] <rfxchlx> mount your partition first
[20:48] <brianblaze420> why u make me repaet 20 times
[20:48] <rfxchlx> then chroot to it
[20:48] <rfxchlx> pretty simple
[20:48] <DualBootMePlease> Okay *how do i install grub* , don't make me repreat question 40 times
[20:48] <brianblaze420> re install ubuntu
[20:48] <daftykins> littlebit: mkv is a container, the codecs inside are the relevant part. i'd recommend XBMC (now called Kodi) if you want a media centre like experience, depends how you use this device.
[20:48] <brianblaze420> or go into live cd
[20:48] <brianblaze420> and install grub
[20:48] <rfxchlx> you dont need to reinstall ubuntu, that is bullshit
[20:48] <brianblaze420> (usb)
[20:49] <waressearcher2> also about that one: "You can run Minecraft with the default open-source drivers, but the proprietary drivers will improve Minecraft?s performance.", is that true ? its better to use proprietary drivers for better game experience ?
[20:49] <brianblaze420> well I don't know if he even installed ubuntu properly so
[20:49] <daftykins> rfxchlx: that language is not acceptable here.
[20:49] <xangua> !language | rfxchlx
[20:49] <rfxchlx> wops, sorry for the langague
[20:49] <littlebit> daftykins: I plan to use that pc as a small browsing station and eventually watch a movie
[20:49] <trijntje_> DualBootMePlease: something went wrong with the install. The easiest is to now delete the ubuntu and swap partitions, and start the install again
[20:49] <DualBootMePlease> how can i "get inside of LiveUSB" i have to go to BIOS and click a boot override to get to it at all (not sure why it won't work with set boot order) but then it asks "try ubuntu" or "install ubuntu" or "OEM isntall" is there another option specifically for grub?
[20:50] <brianblaze420> plus if u re install then you can see at the end where us skipped the install grub lol
[20:50] <daftykins> littlebit: ok, well you still haven't actually said what you're comparing between. if you mean you had ubuntu with unity on it to start with, then yes xubuntu will be faster for the older limited hardware (ion1 perhaps?)
[20:50] <brianblaze420> u don't know how to boot a live cd/usb?
[20:50] <DualBootMePlease> Before i try reinstalling ubuntu for a 3rd time, can someone answer this extremely basic question: I was not given a "install along side Windows XP option". It was NOT greyed out. It was NOT THERE. Is that a problem? Is it a problem that i manually created the partitions via "select other" ?
[20:50] <DualBootMePlease> Is that inherently wrong? Or could it work?
[20:50] <rfxchlx> you said your logged into the liveUSB, didnt you?
[20:50] <monkeyjuice> DualBootMePlease: windows is most likley using all the partiti0ns on your hard drive you can only have four of them
[20:51] <monkeyjuice> so you cant dual boot
[20:51] <brianblaze420> windows boot manager will not see anything but windows
[20:51] <DualBootMePlease> Windows XP was using ONE partition. Not four. Stop saying that please.
[20:51] <brianblaze420> u need grub lol
[20:51] <brianblaze420> but ask me again
[20:51] <DualBootMePlease> I'm asking you to answer the question i asked. not something else.
[20:51] <DualBootMePlease> Is that technically a correct method for isntallation?
[20:51] <trijntje_> DualBootMePlease: why dont you try a recent version of ubuntu, instead of one that isnt supported anyway?
[20:52] <DualBootMePlease> I can not try a recent version because I am already using the liveUSB. Unless you know a away to use a live USB and download ANOTHER.
[20:52] <littlebit> daftykins: ah right. I was trying to compare the standard video drivers that are shipped with xubuntu, and the one that are provided from the vendor in the "additional drivers" section
[20:52] <DualBootMePlease> can i reformat this stick while i am "using it" or is it not in use?
[20:52] <trijntje_> !lts
[20:52] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: what's wrong with downloading the newer release from in XP?
[20:52] <DualBootMePlease> I CANT FREAKING USE XP TO DOWNLOAD> I DO NOT HAVE INTERNET> I"VE SAID THAT FIVE TIMES NOW.
[20:52] <brianblaze420> so just boot live usb... via boot menu at bios and then install grub or reinstall ubuntu
[20:52] <DualBootMePlease> XP needs a freaking driver.
[20:52] <DualBootMePlease> My wireless adapter driver.
[20:52] <DualBootMePlease> You guys remember that Windows uses drivers, right?
[20:52] <rfxchlx> dude just mount your ubuntu partition somewhere and chroot into it
[20:53] <daftykins> so why don't you download that driver with the session you're typing from now?
[20:53] <rfxchlx> after that you can update-grub
[20:53] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: showing attitude is going to get you nowhere.
[20:53] <DualBootMePlease> aww shutup daftykins. you and your ideas. :D
[20:53] <daftykins> yeah listen to me and my logic, how dare i...
[20:53] <DualBootMePlease> (my problem earlier was that the LiveUSB firefox instance wouldn't load)
[20:53] <DualBootMePlease> [i just forgot it finally started workin on 5th reboot to Live]
[20:54] <DualBootMePlease> Assuming i already have a Ubuntu 14.4 ISO on my harddrive, can i overwrite the LiveUSB i am "using"?
[20:54] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: you're correct you can't change the flash drive whilst it's booted, so sure grab a driver download if you can to get XP up and working online - then use that to download 14.04.1, then rework the flash drive and install that.
[20:54] <DualBootMePlease> In otherwords, is the USB being USED right now, or just to load out the gate?
[20:54] <daftykins> it's in use yes
[20:54] <DualBootMePlease> thanks dafty
[20:54] <Nedal> Hi, My webcam doesn t work they say Couldn t connect to video device /dev/video0 please check connection. ( I have an integrated camera in my laptop and it works fine on windows)
[20:55] <DualBootMePlease> alternately i have a DVD-RW and a huge stack of DVD-Rs ... i could put the ISO on there? maybe that would be more-betterer anyhow?
[20:55] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: if you still can't use firefox to find your driver, give me your wireless adapter's make and model and i will be happy to give you an alternative way to download it so you can get XP online again first.
[20:55] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: yeah, you won't have enough space to really download the ISO during a live session though, unless you download it to the Windows hard disk
[20:56] <DualBootMePlease> i ahve the iso
[20:56] <DualBootMePlease> it is actually the ISO i used to make this liveUSB, so i'm not sure why this instance is 13.10 cuz the file clearly says 14.4 ?
[20:56] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: what's the file name? where did you first see 13.10 mentioned?
[20:56] <DualBootMePlease> ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
[20:57] <DualBootMePlease> As soon as i stuck the LiveUSB in to run it, it said "13.10"
[20:57] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: given you had XP on this system, are you sure it's new enough to take 64-bit ubuntu?
[20:57] <DualBootMePlease> My system is bran UEFI spankin new.
[20:57] <daftykins> oh my word and you used XP :(
[20:57] <DualBootMePlease> So new it actually took Ubuntu 9 months after purchase to clear all the serious bugs from it.
[20:57] <DualBootMePlease> I NEED XP FOR AUTOCAD2004 :(
[20:57] <daftykins> next time you use caps, i will walk away
[20:58] <DualBootMePlease> ^^^super super lower case ... I need XP for autocad2004^^^
[20:59] <daftykins> alright well i gave you a course of action, so you can either resolve wireless drivers in XP, download a new ISO to be 100% certain and put it on DVD (though flash drive is infinitely better)... or something else
[20:59] <Nedal> Guys , My webcam doesn t work they say Couldn t connect to video device /dev/video0 please check connection. ( I have an integrated camera in my laptop and it works fine on windows)
[20:59] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: to confirm what version your flash drive is, open the terminal program and run "cat /etc/issue" or "lsb_release -a"
[20:59] <DualBootMePlease> Did anyone answer the basic question of if i am not seeing "install Ubuntu alongside of Windows XP" if that fundamentally indicates a problem?
[20:59] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: likely you booted in EFI mode when XP won't be, since it doesn't support EFI. for more info...
[20:59] <daftykins> !uefi | DualBootMePlease read here
[21:00] <DualBootMePlease> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ /cat /etc/issue
[21:00] <DualBootMePlease> bash: /cat: No such file or directory
[21:00] <DualBootMePlease> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsb-release -a
[21:00] <DualBootMePlease> No command 'lsb-release' found, did you mean:
[21:00] <DualBootMePlease>  Command 'lsb_release' from package 'lsb-release' (main)
[21:00] <DualBootMePlease> lsb-release: command not found
[21:00] <schultza> in ubuntu, how do I stop the screensaver (since i have it in a virtual machine)?
[21:00] <unopaste> DualBootMePlease you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[21:00] <schultza> !pastebin
[21:00] <grosjean> :)
[21:00] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: there is no leading / before cat
[21:00] <carif> looking at /var/log/boot.log, it looks like cloud-init is run even for a desktop install, is that true?
[21:00] <daftykins> schultza: configure the power options in system settings
[21:01] <VanceX> DualBootMe Please: If you've confirmed Ubuntu is installed upon the drive, have you switched to "Legacy" boot within your bios?
[21:01] <DualBootMePlease> i don't know what you want me to read about UEFI, but I am aware that it is a PIA, and I am also aware that even with UEFI disabled for some reason this LiveUSB instance would not allow me to run the install from the Non-UEFI USB choice. It simply failed.   Only the UEFI choice is working.
[21:02] <DualBootMePlease> i'm really good at typos though
[21:02] <DualBootMePlease> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/issue
[21:02] <DualBootMePlease> Ubuntu 13.10 \n \l
[21:02] <daftykins> yeah so you can't dualboot with XP by booting EI
[21:02] <daftykins> *EFI
[21:03] <DualBootMePlease> so you are saying the XP install is probably OK but i need to get Ubuntu installed NON-uefi?
[21:03] <wbill> ok another newb ?  if i update my ~/.bashrc how do i update it on the fly correctly- ie without havng to reboot?
[21:03] <daftykins> correct
[21:03] <gr33n7007h> 13.10 not supported
[21:03] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: alright, so regardless that flash drive is an unsupported version. so resolve XP's wireless driver and download 14.04.1 proper.
[21:03] <DualBootMePlease> okay. i'm gonna try burning this 14.4 ISO to DVD and see where that gets me.
[21:03] <schultza> 14.04 lts without desktop installed.. then i installed the ubuntu-desktop package... for some reason, not everything installed
[21:03] <DualBootMePlease> no i have 14.04 ... i'll just burn it to DVD.
[21:04] <daftykins> schultza: sure you're not seeing the little cog icon on the left-hand side launcher?
[21:04] <Tinkerlad> Whilst we are on 14.04.1, Why do I keep getting BADSIG:********* when I run apt-get update
[21:04] <DualBootMePlease> Can you clarify for me: if I am installing the *correct* NON-UEFI instance of Ubuntu, should i *absolutely* see "Install ALONGSIDE windows XP" ... MUST i see this?
[21:04] <schultza> nope... i looked.. currently not installed
[21:04] <schultza> ...installing
[21:05] <Thomas___> Hello, In my forward zone I need to put @       IN      NS      dns1. and in my reverse zone @       IN      NS      dns1.pxl.intra. , I can succesfully lookup both sides, but I wonder why the forward zone needs to be dns1. and not dns1.pxl.intra in the  @ record
[21:06] <schultza> Thomas___: why are you posting this in ubuntu. .this is a bind related topic
[21:06] <DualBootMePlease> daftykins, daftykins your so cute. You cause my computer to hard reboot.
[21:06] <schultza> !bind
[21:06] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: i will not help you any further if you continue these juvenile remarks.
[21:06] <schultza> daftykins: me?
[21:06] <DualBootMePlease> :( but i am thirty-five :(
[21:07] <daftykins> schultza: you what?
[21:07] <schultza> ...oh i see the remark now
[21:07] <DualBootMePlease> i thought it was endearing, fWIW.
[21:07] <daftykins> schultza: the subtle hint is the nickname i use before i type messages
[21:07] <schultza> please excuse me today.. im a bit tired
[21:08] <DualBootMePlease> so i need to see the "install alongside Windows XP" ?
[21:08] <DualBootMePlease> or not?
[21:08] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: yes after booting in legacy mode
[21:08] <Thomas___> schultza: where is the bind room?
[21:08] <DualBootMePlease> ok. i'll work towards that. DVD almost done burning.
[21:09] <DualBootMePlease> is there a way to check the version on a burned ISO before i start?
[21:10] <k1l_> DualBootMePlease: check md5sum and compare to the releases
[21:14] <schultza> is it worth it to update? 14.04 -> 14.10 ... can i get back to moving my window control buttons to the right?
[21:14] <k1l_> schultza: that will no be possible on unity7. its a wontfix
[21:14] <k1l_> *not
[21:14] <brianblaze420> xp can boot with efi? He must be on legacy if he has xp
[21:14] <schultza> can i install the latest unity (8)?
[21:15] <DualBootMePlease> Hey Dafty ... if i alraedy have that 13.10 copy installed am i going to have to manualy delete those partitions first? or do you think it will still give me the option to "install alonside Windows XP" even though it already also recognizes an installed copy of Ubuntu? You follow that q?
[21:15] <clinggg> I'm still on 12.04 and I won't upgrade lol
[21:15] <daftykins> no XP cannot boot with EFI
[21:15] <k1l_> schultza: the unity8 is running on mir and is not optimized for desktop size yet. its optimized for smartphone so far, only
[21:16] <DualBootMePlease> or, how bout this. can someone just tell me how to "Kill the flag" on this crap ubuntu partition in Gparted so i can delete it?
[21:16] <clinggg> 12.04 until 2017 right?
[21:16] <schultza> wow.. it takes awhile for them to listen to us users, then. :)
[21:16] <k1l_> clinggg: yes
[21:16] <k1l_> schultza: i did already explain that to you.
[21:16] <clinggg> nice
[21:16] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: nuke them
[21:16] <schultza> k1l_: i was being sarcastic
[21:16] <DualBootMePlease> "Nuke them" non-technical answer. does not compute :(
[21:17] <DualBootMePlease> remember i am a linux-semi-noob
[21:17] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: don't be facetious, it clearly means to delete them.
[21:17] <VanceX> DualBootMePlease: Partition must not be mounted to delete it.
[21:17] <DualBootMePlease> how???
[21:17] <clinggg> long live to gnome panel
[21:17] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: you're in a live session now, run gparted to delete them
[21:17] <DualBootMePlease> "unmount" is grayed.
[21:17] <Bashing-om> DualBootMePlease: I am just joining - but .. in gaparted make sure that swap is turned off .
[21:18] <daftykins> DualBootMePlease: from which?
[21:18] <schultza> DualBootMePlease: nuke them comes from putting food in the microwave to nuke... or bombing/destroying it... therefore, in computer speak, means to delete
[21:18] <DualBootMePlease> looking for specific instructions on how to delete a partition.
[21:18] <DualBootMePlease> delete is grayed. mount\
[21:18] <DualBootMePlease> mount\unmount is grayed
[21:18] <DualBootMePlease> flags are grayed.
[21:18] <trijntje_> DualBootMePlease: for swap?
[21:18] <DualBootMePlease> no flags show as checked.

[21:20] <Bashing-om> ET_Warrior: Take a look at the referenced file, and fix the formatting at or about line 56 .
[21:20] <ET_Warrior> schultza: I'm not familiar with pastebin, but I'll see what I can do.
[21:20] <DualBootMePlease> don't get too excited. i'll be back shortly. peace.
[21:20] <schultza> !pastebin | ET_Warrior
[21:21] <schultza> ET_Warrior: pastebinit is not normally installed on the system, you may need to install that program.
[21:21] <schultza> but... your sources.list will prevent it
[21:22] <daftykins> schultza: well it won't prevent them if the package lists were ever successfully obtained at least once ;)
[21:22] <schultza> daftykins: I usually update before install.. :)
[21:23] <Tinkerlad> Why does having limited network connectivity during 14.04.1 server install make the intallation of gru fail?
[21:23] <schultza> s/gru/grub ?
[21:23] <Tinkerlad> yeah....
[21:23] <t0by> Okay - I have a number of single-page pdf files (gnuplot output, actually). Can I get a single PDF with two sheets per page from them?
[21:23] <bekks> Tinkerlad: It doesnt, for me.
[21:23] <t0by> You know, like "print 2 pages per sheet" but to pdf instead of paper.
[21:24] <bekks> Tinkerlad: It works fine, even without a cable connected.

[21:25] <schultza> im just so used to regexp...and it helps others/new guys to get used to it.
[21:25] <Tinkerlad> bekks, For me it works fine with the cable removed, works fine if full connectivity, however limited connectivity it fails....
[21:25] <bekks> Tinkerlad: Whats that "limited connectivity" then?
[21:26] <schultza> Tinkerlad: did the grub package download? (in your apt-get cache area?)
[21:26] <Tinkerlad> As in a connection that isnt stable, or doenst connect to the net.
[21:26] <Tinkerlad> how do I check that?
[21:26] <schultza> um... let me find the directory.. i dont know off hand
[21:26] <nighty-_> Hi
[21:27] <nighty-_> Anybody knows how to fix this on GMA500 in 14.04 ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwsDhWIHaiQ
[21:27] <Tinkerlad> im at the ash terminal
[21:28] <schultza> Tinkerlad: in the /var/cache/apt/archives
[21:28] <schultza> Tinkerlad: should be a grub*.deb file
[21:28] <Tinkerlad> schultza, on the ramdisk or /target?
[21:29] <schultza> in /target then
[21:29] <schultza> hmm... not sure if .... or ramdisk.. i dont know where installation puts packages... check both
[21:29] <schultza> if it is... installed it from cache with no connectivity... i dont know why you are having limited connectivity
[21:30] <Tinkerlad> Also how do I list files in dir from ash terminal?
[21:31] <schultza> Tinkerlad: should be the 'ls' command
[21:31] <schultza> ls is short for list
[21:31] <KEEm> Hello, Problem: Ubuntu Installation Crash; maybe because of to long password/phase ?
[21:32] <daftykins> nighty-_: what video cable type is that over?
[21:32] <nighty-_> not a video cable
[21:32] <nighty-_> this is a Laptop
[21:32] <nighty-_> it is not electrical
[21:32] <nighty-_> it is a problem with GMA500 driver
[21:32] <nighty-_> the ripples are due to wrong frequency
[21:32] <nighty-_> for screen
[21:32] <Tinkerlad> schultza, The archives dir is empty
[21:32] <daftykins> nighty-_: also you showed a TTY there, server or desktop?
[21:33] <nighty-_> that is desktop
[21:33] <schultza> nighty-_: do you know the refresh rates for your screen?
[21:33] <nighty-_> in 13.04
[21:33] <nighty-_> it worked
[21:33] <schultza> Tinkerlad: can you get full connectivty for that computer?
[21:33] <nighty-_> 14.04 comes and it does not work
[21:34] <Tinkerlad> schultza, Not stable but it has a decent enough connection
[21:34] <nighty-_> schultza, so something wrong with xorg or driver

[21:34] <KEEm> EriC^^ are you there?
[21:34] <daftykins> nighty-_: well, going back to 12.04 is always an option.
[21:34] <schultza> daftykins: is nighty-_'s issue related to that kernal flag?
[21:35] <daftykins> schultza: "that kernel flag" meaning...?
[21:35] <KEEm> Hello, Problem: Ubuntu Installation Crash; maybe because of to long password/phase ?
[21:35] <Bashing-om> nighty-_: see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1984236 <- support thread for the GMA500 .
[21:35] <schultza> daftykins: i remember when ubuntu had video related issues, you can boot with a particular kernel flag and it worked.
[21:35] <schultza> KEEm: I think we need more information... how did it crash.. any messages?
[21:35] <Tinkerlad> schultza, What are the downsides of installing without web connectivity?
[21:36] <schultza> Tinkerlad: unable to get the latest packages during installation
[21:36] <nighty-_> Bashing-om, how is that relevant to my problem ?
[21:36] <Tinkerlad> Thats it, so I could just install it web-free and then update later?
[21:36] <daftykins> schultza: sounds like you're talking about nomodeset which is akin to running VESA and so not a solution at all.
[21:36] <KEEm> schultza it just said, Sorry to show this message but Ubuntu installation has crashed, after closing this window....
[21:36] <schultza> Tinkerlad: the dvd/iso you have should have everything you need to install (grub as well) and tools to connect to update
[21:36] <schultza> daftykins: ah, ok
[21:37] <Bashing-om> nighty-_: Maybe give some direction to what you can do to find a solution .
[21:37] <schultza> KEEm: what is the rest of that message?
[21:37] <nighty-_> Bashing-om, read that , not a solution not a direction
[21:37] <KEEm> i did the installation two times now, with the same password/phase, maybe i should try with a simple one? schultzha
[21:37] <KEEm> schultza ^
[21:37] <KEEm> i dont remembre
[21:38] <KEEm> im giving a simple phase/word a try
[21:38] <KEEm> b back l8 if it dosn't succeed
[21:38] <schultza> KEEm: try a shorter one... keep it to 8 characters (Cap and lower case letters, numbers and symbols on the number keys should be fine)... otherwise, we will need the rest of that message
[21:38] <KEEm> cool,
[21:38] <KEEm> ok bye
[21:39] <schultza> ... i doubt it crashed on a password
[21:40] <Bashing-om> nighty-_: Looked at this : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo ??
[21:40] <nighty-_> Bashing-om, yes
[21:43] <nighty-_> my machine is an Asus EEEPC 1201HA
[21:44] <genii> That's a pretty classic Asus
[21:44] <nighty-_> genii, it is also a real PoS
[21:44] <nighty-_> but that is beside the point
[21:44] <genii> nighty-_: Yeah, not enough RAM
[21:45] <nighty-_> genii, not enough of everything
[21:45] <genii> nighty-_: I ran Xubuntu on mine fine for a long time, but gave it away now
[21:45] <trism> t0by: you can use pdftk to combine them all into one: pdftk *.pdf cat output combine.pdf; and then load it into evince then Print/To File and set multiple pages per page in the page setup
[21:45] <jsheldon> I know that it's not preferable, but we're required to use skype for work.   In the past few days, skype on linux is no longer working with group chats.  (skype <IP_ADDRESS>).   Anyone got any thoughts on that?
[21:46] <trism> t0by: I don't see a way to do this just with pdftk, from the command line you would probably have to use the imagemagick tools to combine the pages before using pdftk to join them
[21:47] <daftykins> jsheldon: not much beyond Skype being a Microsoft product and thus not really supported on Linux truthfully.
[21:50] <jsheldon> daftykins: is there any way to report bugs to them?
[21:50] <schultza> jsheldon: see private message
[21:50] <daftykins> jsheldon: no idea. they're Microsoft :)
[21:51] <bbryant> blasphemy
[21:51] <schultza> bbryant: it's a best effort help that i can give.. :)
[21:52] <bbryant> i just heard the word Microsoft, I'm not aware of any of the context
[21:52] <bbryant> just joined
[21:52] <rathmacnee> nighty-_, running Lubuntu acceptably here on 1201HAB for last several revs
[21:53] <nighty-_> rathmacnee, does it have a GMA500 ?
[21:53] <nighty-_> no ripples in the screen ?
[21:54] <nighty-_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2124319&highlight=gma500
[21:55] <rathmacnee> nighty-_: yep, unfortunately. it was a bear to get working back in 9/10 era but 14.04 installed w/o a hitch.
[21:55] <nighty-_> so you have a GMA500 in there
[21:56] <nighty-_> ?
[21:56] <nighty-_> ok I will try lubuntu
[21:57] <Tinkerlad0> If I want to change the name of an interface, I need to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules dont I. The problem I am having is my ethernet interface isnt listed?
[21:58] <Tinkerlad0> my wlan0 is but not my p32p1 (ethernet interface)
[21:59] <genii> Tinkerlad0: Uses the Dell consistent network device naming thingy
[21:59] <genii> Tinkerlad0: Use kernel option at load time to disable biosdevname
[22:03] <rathmacnee> nighty-_: Affirmative on the GMA500 in the ASUS 1201HAB. Recommend Lubuntu.
[22:03] <rathmacnee> no screen ripple or other issues
[22:06] <Lucky87> Hello, please would someone kindly whois me
[22:06] <bubbasaures> you are on tor
[22:06] <bynarie> simple question: im running 14.10 right now, and cannot get my nvidia drivers to work no matter what i do... do you think if i goto 14.04 I will have better support?
[22:07] <kolossen> so, how do i check if my bluetooth is working?
[22:07] <bbryant> bynarie: so they weren't working when you installed, correct?
[22:07] <kolossen> and is there a program to let you send commands to it from the command line?
[22:08] <bynarie> bbryant, honestly im not sure because as soon as i installed, i upgraded kernel to latest and finally wantedf to play games so i tried to setup drivers
[22:08] <bbryant> kolossen: what
[22:08] <bbryant> bynarie: ok, what happened next
[22:08] <bynarie> bbryant, they "appear" to be loaded in additional drivers, but nvidia-settings doesnt work
[22:09] <bynarie> it loads but doesnt show the full options
[22:09] <bynarie> then, i tried to install steam to play CS, i get opengl errors
[22:09] <bbryant> hm
[22:09] <bbryant> well it's always worth trying a version that's been out longer
[22:09] <bynarie> bbryant, Open GLX extension not supported
[22:09] <bbryant> I certainly think it's worth a shot
[22:10] <bbryant> but I'm no expert on nvidia issues with linux
[22:10] <bynarie> bbryant, now check this out... im dual booting linux mint 17 along with buntu 14.10.. linux mint 17 nvidia works perfect.. no problemsa
[22:10] <bynarie> bbryant, pretty much same config on both OSes
[22:10] <bbryant> same from the nvidia side\
[22:11] <bbryant> probably not the kernel side
[22:11] <bynarie> and since lm 17 is based on buntu 14.o4, i figure i may have a better shot
[22:11] <bbryant> I don't see why not
[22:11] <bynarie> bbryant, thanks for your help
[22:11] <bbryant> yea, sorry I couldn't be of more help
[22:11] <bynarie> i will give it a go and see what happens
[22:11] <bbryant> it's been many years since I messed with that stuff :/
[22:11] <bynarie> no problem man, you tried
[22:11] <DilloYoda> been having issues with 14.04?
[22:12] <bynarie> DilloYoda, 14.10
[22:12] <Tinkerlad0> soooo. Running sudo apt-get update keeps failing.... GPG Errors on many of the repos.... Any ideas?
[22:12] <DilloYoda> Ah, OK
[22:12] <bynarie> Tinkerlad0, which repos specifically?
[22:12] <g0th> hi
[22:12] <bynarie> sometimes if repos are down or incorrectly enterd you get errors
[22:12] <bynarie> or network problems
[22:12] <g0th> on my laptop I did a system upgrade and now I don't have any desktop/gnome-panel/window manager anymore
[22:12] <DilloYoda> I'm using 14.04LTS
[22:13] <OerHeks> Tinkerlad0, try changing mirror
[22:13] <g0th> is there a way to reset everything?
[22:13] <DilloYoda> There have been some issues, but it's smooth at the moment
[22:13] <Tinkerlad0> trusty-updates, trusty-backports, trusty-security all from au.archive.ubuntu.com
[22:13] <Tinkerlad0> how do I cahnge mirror?
[22:13] <bynarie> Tinkerlad0, do you get any error about a key?
[22:13] <g0th> though the guest login has the same issues
[22:14] <Tinkerlad0> bynarie, Yeah Automatic Signing Key?
[22:14] <g0th> how do I get my window manager + gnome back?
[22:14] <DilloYoda> you can change the mirror in the Software & Updates panel
[22:14] <Tinkerlad0> DilloYoda, Im on 14.04.1 server
[22:14] <bynarie> Tinkerlad0, when you get the error, does it give you a key number?
[22:14] <bynarie> you probably need to install the keys
[22:15] <Tinkerlad0> bynarie, BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5
[22:15] <bynarie> yes!
[22:15] <Tinkerlad0> that one?
[22:15] <bynarie> thats exacly it
[22:15] <michele993> hi guys
[22:15] <DilloYoda> There's a popup list of servers in the aforementioned panel
[22:15] <bynarie> Tinkerlad0, http://askubuntu.com/questions/1877/what-is-the-easiest-way-to-resolve-apt-get-badsig-gpg-errors
[22:15] <bynarie> check out that link
[22:15] <Tinkerlad0> Thanks :)
[22:15] <g0th> I installed gnome-panel but it still doesnt show up
[22:15] <Tinkerlad0> Hadnt seen that one yet
[22:16] <bynarie> ok good luck! let me kno if its fixed
[22:16] <k1l_> g0th: choose it at login screen
[22:16] <michele993> i've a big problem, when i press shutdown don't appear the reboot and shutdown button, but ubuntu logout only...
[22:16] <g0th> I don't have anything to choose from
[22:17] <bynarie> bbryant, http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Install-Graphics-Driver.png
[22:17] <bynarie> bbryant, thats the window i get when running "nvidia-settings"
[22:18] <g0th> how can I completely reset my desktop environment?
[22:18] <g0th> like in a new installation?
[22:19] <DilloYoda> g0th, I don't know that there is a global reset to defaults
[22:19] <bynarie> g0th..... just reinstall or, or purge remove then install
[22:19] <g0th> reinstall what?
[22:19] <bynarie> your DE
[22:19] <DilloYoda> you might have to go into the Control Panels for whatever you want set back to default
[22:19] <g0th> which is which package?
[22:19] <bynarie> g0th, which desktop env are you using?
[22:19] <g0th> I tried to remove/purge/reinstall some packages
[22:20] <g0th> without help
[22:20] <g0th> gnome
[22:20] <bynarie> ok
[22:20] <bynarie> so
[22:20] <bynarie> sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome-desktop
[22:20] <bynarie> then reinstall
[22:20] <bynarie> i think
[22:21] <g0th> you mean ubuntu-gnome-dekstop?
[22:21] <g0th> I didn't have it installed
[22:21] <g0th> but I can try to install it
[22:21] <g0th> I had a gnome desktop without that package before
[22:21] <nighty-_> ok lubuntu ripples too
[22:23] <nighty-_> rathmacnee, no difference same problem
[22:23] <nighty-_> the gma500 driver is exactly the same
[22:24] <nighty-_> down to the last bit
[22:25] <g0th> bynarie: it's still broken
[22:25] <g0th> the left panel is gone, compiz doesn't seem to be running my keyboard shortcuts fail, etc
[22:26] <g0th> and it freezes
[22:26] <g0th> (right now)
[22:26] <k1l_> g0th: video driver running?
[22:26] <g0th> nvidia binary
[22:26] <k1l_> g0th: from nvidia site?
[22:27] <g0th> from ubuntu
[22:27] <k1l_> what desktop do you want?
[22:28] <g0th> any desktop at the moment
[22:28] <g0th> which works reasonably
[22:28] <k1l_> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[22:28] <g0th> there is no ubuntu-desktop
[22:28] <g0th> oh there is
[22:28] <k1l_> g0th: what ubuntu is that exactly?
[22:29] <g0th> no gnome-desktop
[22:29] <g0th> I installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop
[22:29] <k1l_> *sigh*
[22:29] <g0th> trying ubuntu-desktop
[22:29] <g0th> which has unity in addition maybe that solves everything
[22:29] <Dinosaurio> haha
[22:29] <k1l_> i asked you what desktop you want to use, you said: any. so why sou say any when youwant gnome...
[22:30] <g0th> any is fine
[22:30] <Dinosaurio> I'm just laughing at ubuntu. haha
[22:30] <creatorb> #mate here :D
[22:31] <g0th> ok now even less works
[22:31] <g0th> I just see a mouse
[22:31] <g0th> which I can move
[22:31] <g0th> nothing else at all (after login)
[22:31] <k1l_> g0th: so that is a driver issue? what video card you got?
[22:31] <g0th> no keyboard shortcut seems to work
[22:31] <Tinkerlad0> bynarie, That page didn't fix it :(
[22:32] <k1l_> g0th: you installed the gnome ubuntu iso?
[22:32] <creatorb> press ctrl+alt+F1
[22:32] <g0th> I upgraded my existing ubuntu which worked fine
[22:32] <g0th> now it doesn't
[22:32] <k1l_> g0th: details matter
[22:32] <g0th> yeah I can use the console
[22:32] <creatorb> and next login to your device, type your name and password next type startx
[22:32] <g0th> I used the basic ubuntu iso
[22:33] <k1l_> g0th: what ubuntu exactly? upgraded to what ubuntu? which desktop running?
[22:33] <k1l_> g0th: try to put as much details you know into one sentence please
[22:33] <g0th> 14.04 now
[22:33] <rathmacnee> nighty-_: I made some adjustments to x.conf somewhere along the way. Will take a look for you because last couple of  upgrades here were no problem.
[22:33] <g0th> I just installed ubuntu-desktop
[22:34] <nighty-_> rathmacnee, ok
[22:34] <g0th> I don't know the initial version, my last version was about 1 year old
[22:34] <g0th> I need my laptop for work tomorrow :(
[22:35] <g0th> well I could try to survive on the console but I assume I will need some graphical stuff
[22:35] <g0th> is there no way to reset everything?
[22:35] <k1l_> g0th: so you upgraded from which version? 13.10?
[22:36] <g0th> I don't know
[22:36] <g0th> 1 year ago = ?
[22:36] <creatorb> g0th: do you have a type startx?
[22:36] <k1l_> what command did you use to upgrade?
[22:36] <g0th> I guess
[22:36] <k1l_> creatorb: no, dont use startx!
[22:36] <g0th> I ran aptitude, pressed u and upgraded everything basically
[22:36] <k1l_> g0th:  :/  why didnt you use the proper way to upgrade
[22:37] <g0th> I used service lightdm stop and start resp gdm now
[22:37] <g0th> is that not the proper way?
[22:37] <k1l_> !upgrade | g0th
[22:37] <k1l_> sudo do-release-upgrade in cli or the update-manager for upgrading on ubuntu.
[22:37] <creatorb> k1l_: why?
[22:37] <g0th> I didn't intend to do a release upgrade
[22:37] <g0th> but apparently it did
[22:37] <k1l_> creatorb: start the *dm which is lightdm on ubuntu
[22:38] <k1l_> g0th: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
[22:38] <k1l_> g0th: and make sure the videocard driver is setup properly
[22:40] <g0th> k1l_: ok that seems to do something useful :)
[22:40] <Bazyl>  hello when i change to Thunderbird's window launchpad and top tool bar item disapear, how to fix it ?
[22:46] <Bazyl> when i change to Thunderbird's window launchpad and top tool bar items disapear, how can i fix it ?
[22:49] <Bashing-om> Bazyl: What release of ubuntu ? , What Desktop Environment ? < change from what to Thunderbird ? .
[22:49] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, ubuntu 14.04LTS
[22:50] <pbx> how do i get my laptop to auto-adjust backlight depending on whether it's plugged in or not?
[22:50] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, unity i think
[22:51] <Bashing-om> Bazyl: And the only problem is 'Thunderbird' ? .. Might try re-installing the plugin .
[22:51] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, yes, only Thunderbird's widnow is broken
[22:51] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, i cant resize it
[22:52] <Bazyl> Bashing-om,  i did try: sudo apt-get remove --purge thunderbird and then restart PC then sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[22:53] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, and nothing...
[22:56] <Bashing-om> Bazyl: Sorry, that is all I knew to try. I would have thought too it would resolve the issue.
[22:56] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, ok thx anyway
[22:59] <Bashing-om> Bazyl: A thought, have you rebooted, and started FireFox for the change to take effect ?
[23:00] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, Firefox? for what? i have problem with Thunderbird - it's mail client
[23:01] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, i don't understand how Firefox would take any affect on Thunderbird...
[23:01] <Bashing-om> Bazyl: Thunderbied = Mozillia = Firefox , No ? Such that Thunderbird would talk to FireFox if FF is installed, no ?
[23:03] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, ill try
[23:03] <Bashing-om> Bazyl: K, just a thought .
[23:05] <pbx> how do i make my ubuntu laptop as smart as my mac when it comes to screen brightness and power?
[23:05] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, btw i have defined thunerbird as autostart in gnome-session-properties app
[23:07] <bubbasaures> pbx, We don't really compare OS, be detailed in what you actually want.
[23:08] <bubbasaures> pbx, You should also name the release and desktop you're runing.
[23:08] <bubbasaures> running*
[23:10] <christian_> Hmm the checksums of the binaries awk, mawk and gawk have changed ... should i be suspicious?
[23:10] <bekks> christian_: Did you update meanwhile, manually or automagically?
[23:11] <christian_> you mean apt-get update?
[23:11] <Bazyl> Bashing-om, nothings change after reboot...
[23:12] <pbx> bubbasaures, sorry. 14.04, unity
[23:13] <pbx> bubbasaures, i would like the machine to have auto backlight level presets, one for battery and one for AC
[23:13] <christian_>  [ Warning ] [00:05:46] Warning: The file properties have changed:        File: /usr/bin/awk        Current hash: c53d7c1c580979561333c345210276e51b4d517a        Stored hash : 3462fce89f3e37f0419cf118d90d6c36887e1609
[23:13] <pbx> i admit the "mac" bit was something of a troll to get some attention on the question after several no-reply attempts over a few days
[23:13] <christian_> did not update the files on my own
[23:14] <pbx> christian_, what's giving you the warning?
[23:15] <berz3rk> where is the ubuntu developer channel
[23:15] <creatorb> anyone have a alternative way for get skins like screenlets.org? i wanna get transparent clock widget
[23:15] <pbx> christian_, also, do you know what the hash algorithm is (e.g. MD5)? others could check theirs and share the values
[23:15] <bazhang> #ubuntu-devel berz3rk
[23:15] <berz3rk> creatorb: conky
[23:17] <christian_> pbx i did a rkhunter scan
[23:17] <pbx> ironically, my backlight switches to a *dimmer* setting when i plug in AC.  which i guess is hopeful... but i don't know where it's set
[23:17]  * pbx googles rkhunter
[23:17] <creatorb> berz3rk: hmmm... maybe not enough resources
[23:17] <christian_> pbx one sec
[23:17] <berz3rk> creatorb: not enough resources?
[23:17]  * lolmalefico is away: I'm busy
[23:17] <pbx> christian_, thanks.  sha1
[23:17] <k1l_> christian_: which ubuntu?
[23:17] <Bazyl> when i change to Thunderbird's window launchpad and top tool bar items disapear, how can i fix it ?
[23:18] <berz3rk> creatorb: you mean hardware power?
[23:18] <k1l_> christian_: from when is your rkhunter store?
[23:18] <bbryant> pbx: typically if you want the best help here, say windows works better not mac
[23:18] <k1l_> !away > lolmalefico
[23:18] <bbryant> just fyi
[23:18] <k1l_> bbryant: stop that spoiling of this support channel
[23:18] <bbryant> it's a joke, calm down
[23:18] <bubbasaures> bbryant, Don't just post FUD, stick with support, it does not help to cry here.
[23:19] <pbx> christian_, well, fwiw, sha1 of my /usr/bin/awk is c53d7c1c580979561333c345210276e51b4d517a too
[23:19] <k1l_> bbryant: you list of silly jokes is quite overloaded. so better scope on beeing helpfull
[23:20] <pbx> christian_, so either we're both hit with the same attack or (my bet) rkhunter is misleading you.
[23:20] <pbx> bubbasaures, good tip re windows, thanks :)
[23:21] <creatorb> berz3rk: ya i wanna set it clock always on top, so i need small resource
[23:21] <berz3rk> creatorb: I dont think that conky eats a lot of resources :D
[23:21] <christian_> pbx thanks for the info
[23:22] <christian_> k1l_ its xubuntu
[23:22] <christian_> my rkhunter store?
[23:22] <christian_> not so sure
[23:22] <creatorb> berz3rk: wew, ok :D give me good one, simple transparent clock
[23:23] <k1l_> christian_: so basically, its possible ubuntu did a update to awk. so you need way more precise infos than "rkhunter gives a warning"
[23:23] <berz3rk> ok
[23:23] <christian_> pbx does your /usr/bin/awk link to /etc/alternatives and then back to /usr/bin/gawk ?
[23:23]  * pbx looks
[23:24] <christian_> k1l thanks for the information
[23:24] <pbx> christian_, /usr/bin/mawk but otherwise yes

[23:25] <berz3rk> creatorb: or try cairo-clock from the Software Center
[23:25] <christian_> pbx any idea why mine links to gawk?
[23:25] <christian_> strange i guess
[23:26] <Ben64> christian_: its normal
[23:26] <berz3rk> creatorb: cairo-clock should help you
[23:26] <pbx> christian_, sorry, i was in a 12.04 VM; my 14.04 machine does link to gawk.  http://dpaste.com/1BQGKQQ#line-6
[23:27] <berz3rk> creatorb: g2g
[23:27] <k1l_> christian_: if you cant name the state of the last rkhunter safed session its pointless to compare things.
[23:27] <bekks> pbx: actually gawk is GNU awk, which is what you are using on a linux machine, most likely.
[23:27] <bubbasaures> berz3rk, We don't post let me get that for you here.
[23:28] <berz3rk> bubbasaures: please?
[23:28] <ObrienDave> lmgtfy ;p
[23:28] <berz3rk> ah
[23:29] <christian_> k1l_ if i'd know how to find out i would ;)
[23:29] <berz3rk> bubbasaures: next time I will post a google search request with 400 charachters.
[23:29] <bubbasaures> berz3rk, Help or don;t comment or ask for help, it's real simple here.
[23:29] <k1l_> christian_: that is already the breaking point in your "security" setting
[23:30] <christian_> k1l_ i should have said that i dont understand what you are asking
[23:30] <k1l_> christian_: you are aware that you need to track all updates etc if you want to rely on rkhunter? its not like a "i clikc that button and are safe" program
[23:31] <k1l_> christian_: if you or a update changes files in the meantime the hash is changed without a bad hacker compromising your system at all.
[23:32] <k1l_> christian_: i think you got a  wrong impression of how rkhunter makes your system more secure
[23:32] <pbx> bekks, FWIW, on my 12.04 machine, no gawk, just mawk.
[23:33] <bekks> pbx: Sp uninstall gawk and just use mawk?
[23:33] <bekks> Although I wont use mawk, but gawk, but thats not the question here. :)
[23:34] <christian_> k1l_ you are right though i didn't expect rkhunter to secure my system
[23:34] <pbx> bekks, i was just trying to help christian_ .  i have no issue with my awk/gawk/mawk setup
[23:34] <bekks> pbx: ok :)
[23:34] <christian_> pbx thanks for your help again
[23:34] <schultza> Does firewalld work for Ubuntu?
[23:34] <bekks> christian_: rkhunter actually secures your system, if handled correctly.
[23:35] <schultza> whats the diff between gawk and mawk?
[23:36] <ObrienDave> one letter? ;p

[23:49] <Striking7> Hi all. I absolutely love SSHFS but sometimes it seems a bit sluggish. Does anyone have any tips to optimize it?
[23:51] <daftykins> Striking7: this for from home to a remote location online?
[23:52] <Striking7> daftykins: I use it to connect to two different machines. One is a VPS in a datacenter, the other is another machine on a residential connection across town
[23:52] <Striking7> But yes, from home.
[23:53] <daftykins> Striking7: ok fair enough, was just checking it wasn't local stuff that sshfs would be daft for anyway. :) i've no suggestions unfortunately.
[23:59] <Striking7> daftykins: Heh. Good idea checking on that :) Thanks anyway
