[13:25] <fedoen> mcphail: thank you for your help, I deleted the new file and it freed up 8.9G as it should, I will pay more attention next time
[13:25] <mcphail> fedoen: to explain, type "truncate -s 1000G sparse.img". This will create a file which can expand _up_to_ 1000G, but will actually start off at, essentially, zero bytes until you write to it. If you run "ls -l sparse.img" it will look as if it takes up a lot of space, but it doesn't really
[13:25] <lotuspsychje> jpmh: i think gksu can run stuff from other users already
[13:26] <sly01> hi everyone I have got two question
[13:26] <sly01> any of you available ?
[13:26] <lotuspsychje> sly01: start with one at the time :p
[13:26] <jpmh> lotuspsychje:  that is true, but then the need the full path and I would need to place it somewhere accessible
[13:26] <mike3> - /usr/local/bin
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> sly01  let's hear it, in one line
[13:26] <jpmh> mike3: thank you
[13:27] <sly01> MonkeyDust: Which version is the stable one ? I am newbie
[13:27] <lotuspsychje> sly01: version of what?
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> sly01  14.04 if you want long support, 15.10 if you want the latest
[13:27] <sly01> lotuspsychje: I mean 14.04 12.04 what is the diffirence between 12.04 and 12.10
[13:28] <MonkeyDust> sly01  12.10 is dead
[13:28] <lotuspsychje> sly01: 12.10 is end of life
[13:28] <sly01> Thank you so much guys
[13:28] <lotuspsychje> sly01: 12.04 and 14.04 are LTS versions
[13:28] <lotuspsychje> !lts | sly01
[13:29] <Revian1> sly01: 12.04 (released in April of 2012), 12.10 (released in October of 2012) 15.10 (year.month)
[13:30] <lotuspsychje> sly01: in april a new LTS versions comes out as 16.04
[13:34] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:35] <derbie> Hey! How would one go about mocking the USBConnection  https://gist.github.com/Sergiu-Ghita/96239cd7c6a3ae1c9bac ?
[13:39] <lotuspsychje> how many time between sudo commands it asks the password again?
[13:40] <max-m> lotuspsychje, as far as I know sudo remembers the password (or keeps the session up) for 15 minutes
[13:41] <lotuspsychje> max-m: so if someone intrudes the system somehow, he has 15min of free sudo time?
[13:41] <lotuspsychje> max-m: (if that terminal remains open and away from keyboard)
[13:43] <derbie> Wrong channel oups
[13:44] <m1dnight_> Is it safe to install xfce on a default ubuntu *desktop* machine so that I can use xfce for vnc?
[13:45] <lotuspsychje> m1dnight_: vnc isnt very recomended to use for security reasons
[13:45] <lotuspsychje> !vnc | m1dnight_
[13:45] <m1dnight_> I know, but that's not a problem, though.
[13:45] <m1dnight_> Its over LAN en not exposed to the internet.
[13:46] <max-m> lotuspsychje, I don't know, but sudo has a “-K” option to remove the user’s timestamp which should prompt for the password on the next invokation, as far as I know
[13:46] <lotuspsychje> m1dnight_: an intruder over the network can exploit vnc also..
[13:46] <lotuspsychje> m1dnight_: you asked 'safe' right?
[13:46] <m1dnight_> Ah, yes. Let me rephrase :D
[13:46] <lotuspsychje> max-m: tnx for that hint mate!
[13:47] <m1dnight_> Will installing xfce4 on a desktop ubuntu machine break the current windows manager? (unity, or what's it caled)
[13:47] <m1dnight_> I just want to use XFCE for vnc only.
[13:47] <m1dnight_> And leave the default window manager in tact.
[13:47] <lotuspsychje> m1dnight_: ah no, you can safely unstall xubuntu-desktop from your current system
[13:47] <lotuspsychje> install
[13:47] <lotuspsychje> m1dnight_: or lubuntu-desktop as you wish
[13:48] <lotuspsychje> m1dnight_: logout/and login to your new desktop
[14:02] <WangDang> Can anyone help installing guest additions in an Ubuntu virtualbox vm?  When I run the guest additions script, it says it can't find the headers for the currently running kernel, then part of the script fails. (https://paste.debian.net/hidden/18922920/)  I've checked, and the headers are installed for the currently running kernel (uname -r = 4.2.0-30-generic, linux-headers-4.2.0-30 et linux-headers-4.2.0-30-generic installed)  Does anyone know a way to mak
[14:03] <k1l> WangDang: is linux-generic installed?
[14:05] <WangDang> k1l: linux-generic-lts-wily is installed, but not linux-generic
[14:05] <k1l> WangDang: also: what guest os exactly?  what host OS?
[14:06] <k1l> WangDang: then 4.2.0-30-generic is wrong. that should be named differently when its the hwe kernel
[14:06] <WangDang> Ubu 14.04 as guest on a debian 8.3 (jessie) host
[14:07] <k1l> WangDang: sorry, i was wrong. they didnt name the wily backports with 14.40 in the naming.
[14:08] <WangDang> k1l: I have linux-image-4.2.0-30-generic and linux-image-generic-lts-wily installed
[14:08] <k1l> WangDang: is this a server install in vbox?
[14:08] <WangDang> no, desktop
[14:09] <k1l> is xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core installed?
[14:12] <WangDang> k1l: not xserver-xorg and xserver-xorg-core themselves, but I do have xserver-xorg-core-lts-wily and xserver-xorg-lts-wily
[14:13] <k1l> WangDang: could be an issue that the script for virtualbox is only looking for that packages and not the LTS-backports packages
[14:14] <WangDang> would it screw anything up to install the ordinary packages rather than the backported ones?
[14:16] <k1l> WangDang: worth a try
[14:19] <jesper_> k1l: Hello again!
[14:20] <k1l> hi
[14:21] <jesper_> k1l: I'm having the exact same issues as yesterday haha, only this time when I used dd to move Xubuntu (trying to see if there's a problem with just MATE) I accidently made my USB to be seen as 2 different deviced
[14:21] <jesper_> devices*
[14:21] <k1l> jesper_: be sure not to dd to sdb1 but sdb
[14:21] <jesper_> k1l: I dd'd to sdb not sdb1
[14:22] <jesper_> k1l: do you know any way to remove the ubuntu mate dd from my USB-drive?
[14:23] <jesper_> or maybe wipe it clean entirely
[14:23] <EriC^^> jesper_: dd creates 2 partitions
[14:23] <EriC^^> 2 odd ones
[14:24] <jesper_> EriC^^: oh, ok - do you know how to wipe the usb clean?
[14:24] <k1l> jesper_: just format the usb in gparted. create a new dos partition again
[14:24] <EriC^^> jesper_: sudo gdisk /dev/sdb , press o, then w
[14:24] <k1l> jesper_: and i would not recommend to install over and over again, but better look at what exactly is going wrong and fix that
[14:25] <k1l> jesper_: did you try nomodeset?
[14:25] <jesper_> k1l: I did not
[14:26] <jesper_> EriC^^: I got an error... "Proble opening dev/sdb for readong! Error is 2. The specified file does not exist (yet it does when I write sudo parted -l
[14:26] <EriC^^> jesper_: try lsblk
[14:26] <jesper_> oooh, it split into sdb1 and 2
[14:27] <jesper_> EriC^^: But sdb itself still exists as a disk as well
[14:28] <EriC^^> jesper_: did you write /dev/sdb or dev/sdb ?
[14:28] <jesper_> when I did the 'dd'?
[14:28] <EriC^^> no with sudo gdisk
[14:29] <jesper_> I wrote dev/sdb
[14:29] <EriC^^> ok write /dev/sdb
[14:29] <jesper_> EriC^^: Thanks!
[14:29] <EriC^^> no problem
[14:30] <jesper_> EriC^^: Now I just do the dd thing again but with the new ISO? (right k1l?)
[14:31] <jesper_> EriC^^: WHen I write lsblk it still shows up as 2 different sdb1/2
[14:31] <k1l> jesper_: i would rather try to boot the install with nomodeset and see if you dont need to install over and over again
[14:31] <jesper_> k1l: okay, how to I do that?
[14:31] <k1l> jesper_: its like buying new cars instead of filling them with gas again.
[14:31] <k1l> !nomodeset | jesper_
[14:31] <jesper_> k1l: haha I understand
[14:32] <jesper_> I think bashing went trough that and said that it might not work for later versions or something?
[14:32] <jesper_> k1l: I don't exactly remember but I'll try i
[14:32] <jesper_> y
[14:33] <k1l> jesper_: use the version to edit the kernel line in "grub". that is only for one boot and not persistent. but if that works we can make that alsways use nomodeset
[14:34] <jesper_> k1l: I didn't get in to the grub menu with pressing shift
[14:35] <k1l> jesper_: you need to press (and hold) it right after the start
[14:36] <jesper_> k1l: Still didn't work
[14:36] <jesper_> k1l: I held it from just after the mobo splas
[14:36] <jesper_> h
[14:37] <BluesKaj> jesper_, left shift
[14:37] <k1l> left shift.
[14:37] <jesper_> BluesKaj: Yup
[14:37] <k1l> or space on some mainboards
[14:37] <k1l> or even esc
[14:37] <Gnomethrower> hey everybody
[14:37] <Gnomethrower> I have a weird issue with nginx... service nginx reload gives no output
[14:38] <Gnomethrower> but sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload gives the expected output ( * Reloading nginx configuration nginx                                                                                [ OK ])
[14:38] <jesper_> k1l: It's really weird, usually everything is sooo laggy but when I turn it off - during the part before it acctually shuts down it doesn't lag at all
[14:39] <jesper_> k1l: none of shift, space or esc worked it seems - I might just be doing it wrong though
[14:41] <Lothenon> maybe it helps pressing the key again and again fast directly after turning on the computer
[14:41] <hateball> jesper_: I tend to hammer shift rather than try and hold it
[14:42] <jesper_> hateball: I tried that aswell haha
[14:42] <hateball> Ah
[14:44] <murad> :3
[14:44] <k1l> jesper_: you need to press right after the bios is done loading. so try to hit it several times right from the start.
[14:45] <jesper_> k1l: I have done that but I can try again
[14:45] <k1l> jesper_: i dont know what to tell you else than: this needs to work
[14:46] <jesper_> k1l: I understand, I still find it weird that I'm missing icons though
[14:47] <jesper_> k1l: Grub loaded!
[14:47] <k1l> jesper_: that could be due to video driver issues. that is why we should try nomodeset
[14:48] <jesper_> k1l: I just pressed Ubuntu on the top and it's working now
[14:48] <jesper_> k1l: No lag or anything
[14:48] <nemo> Thanks to the long-standing (yet easily fixable) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vmware-view-client/+bug/1268770  I've been maintaining my own personal .deb for opensc
[14:48] <k1l> jesper_: did you edit the nomodeset into the line?
[14:49] <nemo> Some ubuntu person long ago told me how to get ubuntu to stop nagging me to update this package
[14:49] <nemo> I can't recall exactly what the command was. Could #ubuntu help?
[14:49] <nemo> (it keeps trying to replace my locally fixed .deb with the broken official package)
[14:49] <k1l> nemo: apt-pinning
[14:49] <nemo> k1l: that soudns right
[14:50] <jesper_> k1l: I only changed the video drivers before I tried going into grub
[14:50] <nemo> k1l: is there a guide somewhere? searching now for "apt-pinning"
[14:50] <jesper_> k1l: could that have done it?
[14:50] <k1l> jesper_: from what driver to what driver?
[14:50] <drac0666> Got problem with alsa, like after each reboot there is no sound but when i type alsamixer press MUTE and then UNMUTE its start to work
[14:51] <k1l> nemo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[14:51] <nemo> k1l: hrm. this doesn't quite look right. I basically want it to never update
[14:51] <nemo> k1l: the guide I'm reading seems more oriented at a release/version. but it is trying to replace the local build w/ an upstream identical version
[14:51] <jesper_> k1l: from the xorg to the nvidia proprietary 352.63
[14:51] <jesper_> k1l: proprietary, tested drivers
[14:51] <nemo> k1l: oooh. that guide looks like it has the command "hold"
[14:51] <k1l> jesper_: i thought you were already on that nvidia driver. that was what you told me last time
[14:51] <nemo> that probably is what I want
[14:52] <k1l> nemo: yes, setting in hold is the thing to do
[14:52] <jesper_> k1l: I was on the X.org driver, I don't think I knew which driver I was using yesterday
[14:52] <swenzel> how do I see which BLAS library I've got?
[14:52] <nemo> k1l: echo opensc hold | dpkg --set-selections  seems to have worked. thanks!
[14:52] <k1l> jesper_: ok. so that is sorted now.
[14:52] <nemo> now if only they actually update the package w/ the upstream fix :/
[14:53] <Tachyon_> Hello. I am trying to install nvidia drivers, but it seems it "hates" me. I tryed using sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and downloading directly from their website(the .run file). Always ended up in ubuntu recorvery with apt-get purge nvidia*. When I have it installed, I am not able to log in :( . I saw few people on askubuntu with the same problem, but their answers couldn't help me. Any ideas ?
[14:53] <jesper_> k1l: The thing that matters haha!
[14:54] <pambua> I'm running ubuntu 15.10, after a few weeks of working well I get an orange/red warning triangle that tells me: "The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by selecting 'Show Updates', and watch for any failing indicators'".. when I follow these instructions, it always tells me my system is up to date. any ideas how to resolve this?
[14:54] <jackcom> sudo apachectl restart  <—— who know that ‘ctl’ meaning among ‘apachectl’ ?
[14:55] <k1l> pambua: please run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" and show the output in paste.ubuntu.com and link it here
[14:55] <BluesKaj> jackcom, ctl = control
[14:55] <jackcom> oh thanks BluesKaj :)
[14:55] <pambua> k1l, so: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | pastebinit ?
[14:55] <pambua> is that a single command?
[14:55] <k1l> pambua: you can use manually marking and copy&paste too
[14:56] <BluesKaj> pambua, it's 2 commands joined by &&
[14:56] <pambua> will they both work?
[14:56] <pambua> or do I have to enter each one seperatedly ?
[14:56] <Tachyon_> any ideas :( ?
[14:56] <jesper_> k1l: I ran into another problem... I connected my headset (Corsair Void) and I can't click anything now
[14:56] <k1l> pambua: give it a try
[14:56] <BluesKaj> pambua, copy and paste then enter to findout
[14:57] <k1l> pambua: the && means: run the first command and when that is finnished run the second
[14:57] <pambua> http://pastebin.com/47zwsiUg

[14:57] <kash> hi, looking for a way to get newer libvirt in 14.04
[14:58] <drakey> lol
[14:59] <drakey> hello
[14:59] <drakey> anyone here?
[14:59] <drakey> hi anders_
[14:59] <k1l> pambua: ok, you got 2 old repos in there. the first is the node.js one, that doesnt support anything newer than 14.10. the other one is the acestream repo just using 13.10 files
[14:59] <pambua> is it possible to updateit?
[14:59] <pambua> or remove it
[14:59] <pantato> quit
[15:00] <Kinder-Pingvi> Hi!
[15:00] <Tachyon_> isn't this ubuntu support channel ?
[15:00] <drakey> yes it is
[15:00] <Tachyon_> then, may I get some help ?
[15:00] <drakey> what is it?
[15:01] <Tachyon_> Hello. I am trying to install nvidia drivers, but it seems it "hates" me. I tryed using sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and downloading directly from their website(the .run file). Always ended up in ubuntu recorvery with apt-get purge nvidia*. When I have it installed, I am not able to log in :( . I saw few people on askubuntu with the same problem, but their answers couldn't help me. Any ideas ?
[15:01] <hateball> Tachyon_: First off, what chipset do you have?
[15:01] <k1l> pambua: remove the node.js ppa in the system settings: software&updates: 2nd tab
[15:01] <k1l> (or 3rd tab)
[15:01] <hateball> Tachyon_: and are you using 14.04 or 15.10 ?
[15:01] <Tachyon_> 15.10
[15:01] <Tachyon_> gtx 970
[15:01] <hateball> Tachyon_: I'd advise against using the run file from the site, it tends to cause pain with kernel upgrades
[15:02] <Tachyon_> hateball: I think I am now on processor graphics
[15:02] <Tachyon_> and trying to open a game led me to a lot of lag
[15:03] <hateball> Tachyon_: can you pastebin the output of "lspci -k |grep VGA" ?
[15:03] <Kinder-Pingvi> Who has laptop with new intel skylake processor? How your GPU (intel HD) works?
[15:03] <Tachyon_> one moment
[15:03] <Tachyon_> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204 [GeForce GTX 970] (rev a1)
[15:03] <Kinder-Pingvi> As I read that normal support of skylake hardware will added only newer of 4.3 kernel version
[15:03] <Kinder-Pingvi> it is right?
[15:03] <hateball> Tachyon_: while PPAs are unsupported, I use https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[15:04] <pambua> k1l, i think i removed it - i still have the triangle error
[15:05] <Tachyon_> so I have to run "sudo apt-get install phoronix-test-suite" or something ?
[15:05] <hateball> Tachyon_: so you would do "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-361"
[15:05] <pambua> k1l, how do I fix it?
[15:05] <k1l> pambua: run that command from above again
[15:06] <Tachyon_> ok running now
[15:06] <jusri> anyone here using windows ?
[15:06] <k1l> jusri: ##windows for that
[15:06] <pambua> k1l, http://pastebin.com/NZvNfmk3
[15:07] <hateball> Tachyon_: and once it all completes without errors you need to reboot for new modules to load, and it *should* be smooth sailing
[15:07] <Tachyon_> hateball: http://pastebin.com/KdZAY8Uh
[15:07] <nname31> hello
[15:07] <nname31> i have one firmware from satellite receiver
[15:07] <nname31> the letters are difficult to distinguish from the background
[15:07] <nname31> and i want modify this firmware.abs
[15:07] <nname31> can help me?
[15:07] <nname31> how can unpack .abs, and after modify pack all file in one .abs file?
[15:07] <hateball> Tachyon_: right, perhaps it is called just nvidia-361
[15:07] <drac0666> Got problem with alsa, like after each reboot there is no sound but when i type alsamixer press MUTE and then UNMUTE its start to work
[15:08] <Tachyon_> hateball: so now I have to reboot ?
[15:08] <hateball> Tachyon_: I am not on a machine where I have the PPA added right now, but you should be able to find out
[15:08] <hateball> Tachyon_: no no, the driver hasnt installed since it couldnt find it
[15:08] <hateball> Tachyon_: so run "sudo apt-get install nvidia-361"
[15:08] <k1l> pambua: there is still the old acestream repo on. but the error should be gone now.
[15:08] <pambua> k1l, it is gone :D
[15:09] <pambua> k1l, i think Kodi uses that
[15:09] <Tachyon_> installing ..
[15:09] <Tachyon_> actually downloading :-?
[15:09] <jusri> !ubuntu
[15:10] <jusri> !debian
[15:10] <jusri> hello
[15:10] <k1l> jusri: please keep this channel clear for ubuntu support.
[15:11] <Tachyon_> hateball: http://i.imgur.com/puUgRtl.png
[15:11] <hateball> Tachyon_: no idea what might have crashed, let the installer run its course in the terminal
[15:12] <Tachyon_> Errors were encountered while processing:  nvidia-361
[15:12] <hateball> hmmmmmm
[15:13] <hateball> Tachyon_: I wonder if it's because you have tried installing using the .sh from nvidias site before and there's some leftover cruft
[15:13] <hateball> Tachyon_: But sadly I have to leave now, so I hope someone else can try helping you
[15:13] <Tachyon_> :(
[15:13] <Jaffa> I’ve been reading mised reports and wanted to find out whether 16.04 will come with Unity 8 or whether we’ll be waiting for a while longer?
[15:13] <Tachyon_> good bye and thanks for your help
[15:14] <xangua> Jaffa: no
[15:14] <Tachyon_> may anyone try to help me ?
[15:14] <k1l> Jaffa: it will not have unity8 and MIR as standard
[15:14] <Silentlord> i am creating a trayicon but on ubuntu 14.04 unity is not showing

[15:15] <ARM9> I've ran apt-key update and apt-get update
[15:16] <Jaffa> k1l: ok, that clears that question up quickly! so what’s with all the talk about unity 8 and mir coming for 16.04 in the blogosphere?
[15:16] <BluesKaj> Tachyon_, try sudo apt install nvidia-361, then pastebin the output if there are errors
[15:17] <k1l> Jaffa: like where? most times i have seen people not knowing anything just dreaming about things. and not really fact based articles

[16:59] <fathom> Linux and amd/ati I suspect...they still don't play well together
[16:59] <k1l> Tachyon_: ok. lets go to the open source driver again to get you a working desktop: "sudo apt-get purge nvidia*"
[16:59] <stav> Hi Everybody.
[16:59] <stav> I have a little question. I'm not sure if I should ask the Ubuntu community or other team, but maybe you could at least tell me where I should write.
[16:59] <k1l> Tachyon_: after that restart with "sudo reboot now"
[17:00] <andywork> stav: if you have a question regarding ubuntu, you may ask it here
[17:01] <fathom> stav, They may not answer
[17:01] <bunjee> I'm back pleading for help
[17:01] <nook24> Hi, does someone know a good backup solution with web interface? (!backuppc !bacula)
[17:01] <someone235> Hi, I have problems booting from USB. In my boot options I have USB-FDD,USB-ZIP, and USB-CDROM, but none of them works
[17:01] <reisio> nook24: if it has a web interface, it probably can't be good
[17:02] <bunjee> I cannot get this HP C7200 all-in-one printer to even print a test page
[17:02] <someone235> someone knows what can I do about this?
[17:02] <Tachyon_> ok, back on ubuntu
[17:03] <nook24> reisio: it just need to be good enough for my raspbarry
[17:03] <Tachyon_> k1l, ioria, when I logged in : http://i.imgur.com/BCrL0vc.jpg
[17:03] <bunjee> I installed LinuxMint and had no problem with a test page "wirelessly"
[17:03] <k1l> Tachyon_: thats ok. you can cancel that, we know something wen wrong
[17:03] <stav> I want to make a new locale: en_CL (English, Chile)
[17:03] <stav> Chile is Spanish-speaking country, but we have more than 1 million of English speakers, and I know o lot of people who are using their OS in English. The problem is that neither en_US not en_GB locales fit for us. We write with american spelling (we write behavior, center, defense, traveling etc.), but in the same time we use Matric system, European paper formats, etc.
[17:03] <k1l> !mint | bunjee
[17:04] <ioria> Tachyon_,  you can get rid of those removing the content of /var/crash ... but i think the issue is elsewhere
[17:04] <stav> Is it possible to write the new locale and add it to Ubuntu and other linux distrs?
[17:04] <k1l> Tachyon_: ok, now try in terminal "sudo apt install nvidia-361"
[17:04] <bunjee> I am using Ubuntu 14.04 to try and get my HP printer to work
[17:06] <ioria> Tachyon_,  do you use encryption ?
[17:06] <k1l> Tachyon_: please paste the output again when its done
[17:06] <Tachyon_> ioria, no.. what .. idk :=?
[17:06] <ioria> Tachyon_,  ok
[17:07] <Tachyon_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15198999/
[17:07] <jesperson> Hey guys, I really need help (I was here earlier on my laptop by the name Jesper_)
[17:07] <Tachyon_> k1l, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15198999/
[17:08] <nook24> jesperson: dont ask to as, just ask :)
[17:08] <k1l> Tachyon_: ok, reboot time
[17:08] <gsx_> .
[17:08] <Tachyon_> kll, but I like this song :( ok ..
[17:08] <BluesKaj> looks like 361 installed ok that time
[17:09] <k1l> yes. installing works now. booting is the new issue :)
[17:09] <jesper_> Jesperson here, rebooted my pc haha. My headset isn't working on Ubuntu (Corsair VOID RGB)
[17:09] <joehogan_> Had to leav emy desk.  Anyone have any ideas for drivers and the AGP 8x Radeon 9650 for my old Dell Precision 450?
[17:09] <denis_> wai
[17:10] <whoismyname> exit
[17:10] <BluesKaj> joehogan_, whoah , AGP?
[17:11] <Bassem> k1l, Remounting is not supported at present. You have to umount volume and then mount it once again
[17:11] <Tachyon__> !
[17:11] <Tachyon__> !users
[17:11] <Tachyon__> k1l
[17:11] <joehogan_> BluesKaj, I know.  But, I am hoping to replace the 16MB cad with a 256MB vard
[17:11] <Tachyon__> k1l, I'm on ubuntu
[17:12] <k1l> Tachyon__: does it work now?
[17:12] <joehogan_> JUst for daily usage.  No video manipulation:)
[17:12] <Tachyon__> k1l, I succesfully logged in
[17:12] <DexDeadly> apologize I stepped away, so my share is on a nas4free box, it is currently setup with cifs/smb and I also enabled nfs shares
[17:12] <Tachyon__> k1l, but still the message box with "problems" showed up
[17:12] <k1l> Tachyon__: ok last check: lsmod | grep nvidia
[17:12] <DexDeadly> would nfs be easier
[17:13] <Tachyon__> k1l, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15199061/
[17:13] <k1l> Tachyon__: ok, that seems to work now. just click cancel on the reporting thing. that is from the last unsuccessful boots
[17:14] <Bassem> k1l, ok i fix it now, it had to be mounted as exec
[17:14] <Tachyon__> k1l, so now *minecraft test* ?
[17:14] <Bassem> how can i have my sda3 mounted as exec by default
[17:14] <k1l> seems like your video card is not supported with the older drivers, even when nvidia says they should work.
[17:14] <k1l> Tachyon__: yes
[17:14] <k1l> Bassem: yes. you need to mount it manually with the exec and not with noexec
[17:14] <k1l> !mount | Bassem
[17:16] <DexDeadly> so when I look all folders in there are drwxrwxrwx when I create a directory its doing drwxr-xr-x
[17:16] <DexDeadly> could this be my nas?
[17:17] <Bassem> k1l, thats for mount command,but i want it to be done automatically with Ubuntu not manually to be mounted as exec
[17:17] <DexDeadly> if i create a directory on my windows machine in the same folder it creates as the drwxrwxrwx
[17:17] <k1l> Bassem: then put it into fstab
[17:17] <k1l> than it gets mounted on boot
[17:18] <k1l> !fstab  | Bassem
[17:19] <Tachyon__> k1l, it runs very good !!
[17:19] <Tachyon__> k1l but ...
[17:20] <Tachyon__> k1l, if I alt tab while I'm in game it I can't click anything :(
[17:20] <k1l> dont know about minecraft.
[17:21] <tgm4883> Tachyon__: have you tried non-full screen, pausing the game and then clicking elsewhere?
[17:21] <Urchin[emacs]> hello, I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, and, since the last update firefox hangs on javascript heavy sites every few minutes since the last update, does anybody have a problem like that?
[17:21] <Tachyon__> tgm4883, working with windows mode
[17:22] <Tachyon__> tgm4883, pausing the game.. I was already joined a online server
[17:22] <Tachyon__> k1l, ioria, thanks you very much for your help
[17:22] <k1l> np
[17:22] <tgm4883> Tachyon__: by pause, I mean bring up the menu by hitting escape
[17:22] <ioria> Tachyon_,  very happy for you
[17:23] <Tachyon__> tgm4883, yes, I can with this "pause" and window mdoe
[17:23] <Tachyon__> mode *
[17:24] <DexDeadly> would the issue I"m having be that I am creating a directory under an account that is not root?
[17:25] <someone235> Hi, I have problems booting from USB. In my boot options I have USB-FDD,USB-ZIP, and USB-CDROM, but none of them works. someone knows what can I do about this??
[17:26] <consolejazz> hello. any **etckeeper** users here? curious to know what a secure setup for it would be. some guides make no mention of the `/etc/shadow` which it'd capture when initializing the package
[17:27] <joehogan_>  AGP 8x Radeon 9650 on a dell precision 450.  Anyone can confirm that this will work fine?  Old, but only want to make an old computer work again:)
[17:27] <reisio> consolejazz: be utterly secure if you encrypt where you store things
[17:28] <consolejazz> investigating possibility of using etckeeper and duplicity (for encryption of backups)
[17:29] <consolejazz> i'ver used neither yet, unfortunately
[17:29] <consolejazz> using etckeeper seems like i'd be giving over too much control to that sort of automation
[17:29] <DexDeadly> so when I look all folders in there are drwxrwxrwx when I create a directory its doing drwxr-xr-x they all show the owner as root the account my machine is logged in as is antman
[17:30] <consolejazz> before i really understand the value in `/etc/` itself, and what are the most suitable directories to backup from my very simple, non www-serving debian vps
[17:30] <consolejazz> *oops, i meant ubuntu
[17:31] <Emersont1> hi
[17:31] <upbeta1> I have successfully run Ubuntu15.10 on my new Dell XPS15 9550 (credits to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2301071) however, webcam is not detected on cheese and on skype..  I already tried installing cheese but still no luck.. lsmod is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/15199286/
[17:32] <Emersont1> i'm getting an issue in 15.10, when i boot up i get "fsck on util-linux 2.26.2"
[17:32] <Emersont1> with /dev/sda8 ...
[17:32] <Emersont1> how would i fix this?
[17:36] <fedoen> Emersont1: I got that after a power failure on my ssd, I just ran fsck /dev/sda8 (was another partition on my system) as instructed and after some confirms the next reboot was ok
[17:37] <fedoen> Emersont1: I don't remmember the parameters if any but it should give you the exact command to run
[17:38] <fedoen> Emersont1: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.ro/2009/04/how-to-checkrepair-fsck-filesystem.html fsck -y /dev/sda8 will skip confirm and assume yes
[17:39] <Tachyon__> k1l, ioria, ok guys (or girls :-?), thanks very much for your help, I'm going to eat something. thanks !! goodbye
[17:39] <ioria> Tachyon_,  bye bye

[17:47] <DeeJayTwo> hi
[17:47] <DeeJayTwo> I just did a release upgrade
[17:47] <weadjead> hi everyone is here somone that can help me to display errors in a php script ?
[17:48] <DeeJayTwo> I lost the connection when it was comparing config file to install new/keep current/merge...
[17:48] <DeeJayTwo> is there a way to restart this process?
[17:50] <Layke> I"m attempting to fix a corrupted raid5. How bad is this.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/15199496/
[17:50] <Layke> That might be totally normal output, but not sure.. looks like it's about to wipe everything.. rather than recover
[17:57] <tgm4883> DeeJayTwo: you were doing it over SSH?
[17:59] <Emersont1> fedoen: can i run that from GRUB?
[17:59] <linuxlove> how can i run a program in start up at ubuntu 15 ?
[18:00] <linuxlove> how do i start up my noip client at system reboot in ubuntu 15.10
[18:00] <Gallomimia> Read the README file in the no-ip-2.1.9 folder for instructions on how to make the client run at startup. This varies depending on what Linux distribution you are running.
[18:01] <Gallomimia> it says that ^ in the page i was reading
[18:01] <al8989> hello i need help installing thehp linux printing drivers
[18:01] <gnomish> Can anyone recommend a tool similar to rsync, but faster? I've got really fast disks and a fat pipe, but rysnc is very inefficient for the 100,000s of files I'm transfering.
[18:03] <[Tahinihummus]> hi there! is there anyone who was able to  make wi-fi work correctly on an ASUS 1215B?
[18:04] <Gallomimia> !wifi | [Tahinihummus]
[18:04] <Gallomimia> this will give you some tips
[18:05] <[Tahinihummus]> unfortunately I read possibly all the documentations I could find but didnt work out :(
[18:05] <[Tahinihummus]> I just cannot make the damn card to work in the correct wat
[18:05] <[Tahinihummus]> way*
[18:06] <[Tahinihummus]> it either does not connect at all, or it connects with extremely slow connection, or it connects with a/b/g connection only even though it supports N-netwok
[18:08] <icke> nnö
[18:08] <icke> n b,mn
[18:08] <reisio> agreed
[18:08] <reisio> sttep backwards

[18:14] <Layke>   [  -C  fd  ]
[18:16] <Layke> Initially I ran using:  fsck.ext4 -yvf -C0 /dev/vg1/volume_1
[18:18] <adeon_> anyone in here have a xps 9343?
[18:19] <Neepu> Hi. Will a 14.04 LTS / 15.10 edition of Ubuntu easily be upgraded to 16.04 LTS?
[18:20] <Kang0> what is port forwarding and why it is used or useful
[18:20] <Neepu> Kang0 port forwarding is to open up a port, and make it available to the internet from your computer.
[18:21] <Neepu> tldr edition, if you want to learn more about it read about NAT.
[18:21] <adeon_> its so that the world can see your internal service that is being ran
[18:21] <Kang0> I m not sure what are ports and why it is required even though physical ports are accessible to all
[18:22] <adeon_> its used for gaming... http-webservers. services
[18:22] <Neepu> to access the internet, you need a IP address and port. For www.google.com, it would be <IP_ADDRESS>:80
[18:22] <Neepu> where 80 is the port.
[18:22] <adeon_> Kango, pretend your running a web server that only you can see it at home, then you go to starbucks expecting to be able to reach it, but you wont unless you do port forwarding.
[18:23] <Neepu> to access a website/service*
[18:24] <Kang0> Oh i see i thought earlier it is only ip address
[18:24] <Kang0> Neepu
[18:24] <ubuntu-mate> hey
[18:24] <Kang0> Same applicable for ftp?
[18:24] <Neepu> yep, except different port
[18:24] <Kang0> What is ftp port no??
[18:24] <Neepu> 21
[18:24] <Neepu> i think..
[18:25] <QORRiE> 21 is default FTP port, yes
[18:25] <Kang0> Is it fixed irrespective of ftp address?
[18:25] <Craigwell> This is a new one to me..
[18:25] <QORRiE> Kang0, no, any port could be used by FTP software
[18:25] <Craigwell> For whatever reason, 14.04 is defaulting to trying to install on the thumbdrive I'm booting from....... ?!
[18:25] <Kang0> Can we use http address instead of ftp address for file transfer?
[18:25] <Craigwell> doesn't want to cooperate.
[18:26] <Kang0> Which is faster ftp or http?
[18:26] <k1l> http
[18:26] <adeon_> That all depends on your internet speed
[18:26] <QORRiE> i would expect FTP to be faster, because of the lack of headers; it's just files being transferred
[18:27] <QORRiE> but it pbly makes no difference
[18:27] <QORRiE> in practice
[18:27] <Neepu> HTTP is more responsive for request-response of small files, but FTP may be better for large files if tuned properly. FTP used to be generally considered faster.
[18:27] <ouroumov__> Craigwell, pretty sure you can pick the drive with the installation wizard
[18:27] <C0r3> I made a bootable usb for installing ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I boot my pd, I'm getting an error '/casper/vmlinux.efi' file not found. And when I check the file opening the usb in pc I can locate the file.
[18:27] <Craigwell> ouroumov__ yeah something else is going on.. It's a work computer, and I don't think it likes the fact there are 3 windows partitions as primary, and i made one primary for ext4.
[18:28] <Craigwell> using gparted
[18:28] <Kang0> Http ftp what are other transfer methods??
[18:28] <linuxlove> i cant find /etc/init.d/rc5.d in ubuntu15.10
[18:28] <adeon_> ssh/sftp/scp is the same
[18:28] <Kang0> Does wifi Bluetooth also carry unique port no?
[18:28] <Kang0> What is use if ssh or sftp?
[18:29] <alkisg> C0r3: is the usb formatted as ntfs? efi doesn't read ntfs
[18:29] <reisio> Kang0: hrmm?
[18:29] <C0r3> alkisg: FAT
[18:29] <Craigwell> So, if I use the install wizard and choose "something else", select the correct sda for bootloader, will it automatically install on my ext4 partition? Should I change mount point on it to / ?
[18:29] <Gallomimia> Kang0: bluetooth and wifi don't have "ports"
[18:29] <Kang0> Why??
[18:30] <alkisg> C0r3: how did you make the stick? did you use some software or tutorial, or did you use the dd method?
[18:30] <reisio> Kang0: why what?
[18:30] <C0r3> alkisg: When I check in the properties of the usb it says, Filesystem type:  msdos
[18:30] <Kang0> So which items require port nos and which not?
[18:30] <C0r3> alkisg: I used 'Start Up Disk Creator' in ubuntu
[18:30] <adeon_> Craigwell make sure you back up before messing with your bootloader :-p
[18:30] <Gallomimia> tcp and udp networking protocols.
[18:30] <alkisg> C0r3: sudo blkid should tell you the type
[18:30] <Craigwell> adeon_ grub usually doesn't ruin my day,
[18:31] <Kang0> So wifi or Bluetooth is not part of tcp and udp?  Gallomimia
[18:31] <Gallomimia> Kang0: no. that's a different layer of the network
[18:31] <Craigwell> adeon_ but just to be clear, i should install bootloader on sda, correct? not on sda4 (in this case the ext4 partition i wish to use)
[18:31] <Gallomimia> you can transport tcp and udp over those wireless protocols. then it has ports. but tcp and udp won't know about whether it's wireless or not
[18:32] <adeon_> I usually install it on sda and it hasnt gave me any issues
[18:32] <adeon_> sda# is usually within that partition number
[18:32] <C0r3> alkisg: I think its vfat
[18:32] <alkisg> C0r3: is it easy for you to try `sudo dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb, where sdb is the stick? But do watch out not to erase any disks if sdb is a disk and not the stick... I'm not sure if the ubuntu usb creator properly supports efi
[18:32] <linuxlove> hey guys
[18:33] <linuxlove> why cant i find /etc/init.d/rc5.d in ubuntu
[18:33] <linuxlove> ?
[18:33] <Gallomimia> yes please be careful with dd. be sure before you press enter
[18:33] <Craigwell> adeon_ yeah, thats what i was thinking. telling me to select a mount point / is sufficient, no? I'm not splitting it up for upgrade purposes or anything
[18:33] <ouroumov__> C0r3, if you go with dd you should type "sync" after the dd command and wait for the prompt to return
[18:33] <k1l> linuxlove: ubuntu uses systemd since 15.04
[18:34] <ouroumov__> To flush the I/O buffer
[18:34] <Kang0> Gallomimia may i ask this?  What is tcp and udp?  And what do you mean by transport?
[18:34] <Gallomimia> i think you should study more about networking friend
[18:34] <Craigwell> adeon_ I think it's good now, I just never saw the wizard default to wanting to install on the ..install media itself! weird
[18:34] <adeon_> cragiwell, it should be fine
[18:34] <adeon_> yea, ususally happens on upgrader too
[18:34] <C0r3> alkisg: ouroumov__: Any links that can guide me through this??
[18:34] <adeon_> upgrades'
[18:36] <samBiotic> will 16.04 support root on zfs?
[18:36] <Craigwell> adeon_ I think it has to do with the fact there were already 4 primary partitions on my hard drive and no room for swap.
[18:36] <baizon> samBiotic: #ubuntu+1
[18:36] <Craigwell> but i wont hibernate this i guess, so it's all good. plenty of ram
[18:36] <samBiotic> baizon, cheers
[18:37] <ouroumov__> You don't really need one C0r3. dd command with "if=/path/to/your/iso.iso" "of=/dev/yourTagetDrive", then sync command
[18:37] <ouroumov__> C0r3, after those two steps you'll have a "burned" USB stick
[18:37] <C0r3> ouroumov__: Alright... I'm trying it out!!
[18:37] <ouroumov__> To locate your USB stick C0r3, use the "df command"
[18:38] <ouroumov__> "df" *
[18:38] <C0r3> ouroumov__: Yes I did that... df -k
[18:38] <C0r3> ;)
[18:38] <ouroumov__> Good
[18:38] <qwerkus> Hello, hdd problem here: formatted to ext4, I can only see my partitions when plugged into an external hdd case. Whenever I try to plug the hdd internally on my mobo, no partition table is found, and the disk is shown as defective. Any chance to fix this without having to reformat the disk ?
[18:38] <alkisg> Or sudo blkid if it's not mounted
[18:38] <scrabcakes> my ubuntu is freezing on startup, it gets to the 'dot loading' screen and stops. can't get into tty either
[18:38] <alkisg> qwerkus: what's the output of `sudo fdisk -l` ? Put it to paste.ubuntu.com
[18:38] <tobiah> hello
[18:38] <reisio> qwerkus: it's _possible_ you haven't support for your controller
[18:39] <tobiah> im new to ubuntu
 nothing, it's a gpt disk. Should I paste the output of gdisk ?
[18:39] <reisio> but your mobo being broken might honestly be more likely (since that would suck more, though, naturally, best consider this last :p)
[18:39] <reisio> tobiah: hi
[18:39] <tobiah> is it possible to play windows games on ubuntu
[18:39] <alkisg> qwerkus: paste the output of `sudo parted -l`
[18:40] <C0r3> alkisg: It's mounted.
[18:40] <C0r3> alkisg: But thanks. I didn't knew about blkid
[18:40] <qwerkus> alkisg: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15200080/
[18:40] <reisio> tobiah: via Wine, quite frequently
[18:40] <xangua> ! Wine | tobiah
[18:40] <reisio> tobiah: any particular games?
[18:41] <Brewww> Hi i'm running a ubuntu 14.04 server running a lamp server. however how do i downgrade php from 5.5 to php 5.4?
[18:41] <alkisg> qwerkus:  did you install in uefi mode, or in bios mode?
[18:41] <alkisg> Does your motherboard support uefi?
 uefi, yes - mobo supports it: asrock q1900-itx
[18:42] <C0r3> qwerkus: To run linux you must disable uefi
[18:42] <linuxlove> i am going to start up a program in ubuntu 15.10 what should i do?
[18:42] <alkisg> C0r3: that's not true
[18:42] <tobiah> assasins creed syndicate
[18:42] <drac0666> what kernel version you have in 15.10 ubuntu?
 you kidding ? Running linux in uefi on all comps for years now without troubles
[18:42] <tobiah> how to i reply a message from a particular user?
[18:42] <alkisg> qwerkus: your sdb1 should be a fat32 file system, with grub*.efi in it, does it have that?
[18:43] <reisio> tobiah: /msg user, /notice user, etc.
[18:43] <hibernant> help me
[18:43] <reisio> tobiah: or /query user, to explicitly open a window _first_
[18:43] <C0r3> When I try running linux with uefi enable I see that boot loader not found
[18:43] <reisio> in case you are quite paranoid about keeping the msg private
[18:43] <alkisg> C0r3: that's where the dd command will help you
[18:43] <alkisg> It will allow you to boot under uefi
[18:43] <C0r3> And when I disable uefi (or enable legacy it runs fine)
[18:44] <tgm4883> C0r3: if you install with uefi disabled, then enable uefi, I believe that causes issues
[18:44] <C0r3> alkisg: Okay. So I depends upon the method of making bootable?
[18:44] <xangua> !appdb | tobiah
[18:44] <alkisg> C0r3: yes, absolutely
 sdb1 is marked as EF00 (efi partition) but no grub.efi installed. Seems to be installed on sda1
[18:44] <tgm4883> I've installed and used Ubuntu with both UEFI and secure boot enabled
[18:44] <tobiah> thanks
[18:44] <tobiah> would try that
[18:45] <alkisg> qwerkus: and when you're trying to boot, do you have sda1 there? or is it removed? and, is it fat32?
 yes sda works fine. ssd with 3 partitions, grub on the first one. It's sdb - 3TB hdd - causing the trouble
[18:45] <alkisg> qwerkus: then you should tell grub-efi to get installed to sdb1
[18:46] <C0r3> I'm done with the booting. Is there a method to check whether my usb is actually booted or not?
[18:46] <alkisg> C0r3: you've booted with the usb stick and you want to know if you've booted from the stick or from the internal disk?
 problem is: if plugged onto the mobo, I can't even see /dev/sdb1 - nothing. Just a corrupted partition table. When plugged in the external hdd case, if works fine. ???
[18:47] <C0r3> alkisg: No no. I have used dd to make my usb bootable. Now can I check it without restarting my pc
 I wonder if /dev/sdb1 is conflicting with /dev/sda1, as there can only be one uefi boot partition. One Idea would be to disable it - what do you think ?
[18:47] <nicomachus> C0r3: what do you mean check it? an MD5 sum?
[18:48] <alkisg> qwerkus: no, I don't think it can conflict that way.  dmesg should tell you the issue, but maybe you could use gparted and create a new proper partition table? (losing the data)
[18:48] <C0r3> nicomachus: Nothing leave. I'll restart and check it. I wanted a way to verify whether my usb drive is bootable or not. Thanks any way
[18:48] <C0r3> :)
[18:48] <alkisg> C0r3: you cannot easily test it, no. You could with kvm but it's a bit of a trouble, better just reboot.
[18:49] <linuxlove> how can i start up a program in ubuntu 15.10 while it is systemed
[18:49] <alkisg> qwerkus: some tools like testdisk also try to fix problematic gpt cases, maybe that will save your data (but do backup if it's valuable)
[18:50] <k1l> linuxlove: what program?
[18:50] <linuxlove> k1l, noip client
[18:50] <linuxlove> i have readme file for it
[18:50] <linuxlove> but
[18:50] <linuxlove> it is not for systemed
[18:51] <k1l> linuxlove: do you have a router on your network? doesnt that offer a client?
[18:52] <linuxlove> k1l, problem is that i need to run noip2 program from start up
 I can't backup - not enough space on other disks. Brb checking for dmesg
[18:52] <linuxlove> because when i restart i have to run noip2 command again
[18:53] <k1l> linuxlove: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers#Automatic_starting
[18:54] <alkisg> linuxlove: if it's a program that runs in a window (inside the user session), read this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37957/how-do-i-manage-applications-on-startup-in-gnome-3
[18:56] <jamie1> hey im having and odd issue, my computer after going to sleep (lid close) the wifi no longer works correctly, when i try to connect to wifi it just has the spinner like its looking and says no networks found and i have to reboot to get it work correctly again
[18:57] <qwerkus> alkisg: dmesg output is simple: sda: unknown partition table
[18:58] <reisio> jamie1: see if just restarting the networkmanager service fixes it
[18:58] <jamie1> reisio: sudo networkmanager restart?
[18:58] <jamie1> or restart networkmanager
[18:58] <alkisg> qwerkus: testdisk has a read-only mode, it will tell you more details about what's wrong with your partition table... you could back it up with dd, and play with testdisk, but I'm afraid in the end you'll need to write it to get the pc to see it
[18:59] <reisio> probably sudo service network-manager restart
[18:59] <jamie1> okay, will do, thanks
[19:01] <C0r3> alkisg: I'm unable to boot through my pd.
[19:01] <ouroumov__> Your pd?
[19:01] <C0r3> pendrive
[19:01] <EriC^^> of course
[19:01] <C0r3> My bad!
[19:02] <alkisg> C0r3: sudo apt-get install kvm; sudo kvm -m 512 /dev/sdb, where sdb is your pendrive. This tests booting from the stick (in one way)
[19:02] <C0r3> Okay..
[19:02] <alkisg> C0r3: sudo umount /dev/sdb first
[19:02] <EriC^^> C0r3: how'd you make it?
[19:02] <alkisg> *sdb1
[19:02] <alkisg> ...or whatever it is
[19:02] <C0r3> mine is /dev/sdb1
[19:03] <C0r3> EriC^^: Used 'dd' command.
[19:03] <Guy1524> hey guys, when does 16.04 beta one come out?
[19:03] <alkisg> C0r3: wait, did you dd to sdb or to sdb1?
[19:04] <C0r3> alkisg: I used this command: sudo dd if=ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb1/
[19:04] <ouroumov__> Guy1524, anytime now
[19:04] <alkisg> C0r3: you needed to put sdb there
[19:04] <alkisg> sudo dd if=ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb
[19:04] <alkisg> That's the whole disk, not its first partition
[19:04] <Guy1524> ouroumov__: k
[19:05] <C0r3> alkisg: Okay... I'll do it again. And I think I didn't umount it before.
[19:05] <alkisg> C0r3: right, unmount it as well
[19:08] <ouroumov__> C0r3, and don't forget to "sync" after
[19:08] <C0r3> ouroumov__: I will not. I did that in the previous attempt too. :)
[19:09] <scrabcakes> Can someone help I've completely destroyed all my hopes and GUIs
[19:09] <ouroumov__> scrabcakes, reinstall?
[19:10] <scrabcakes> ouroumov__: I'd rather avoid that :/ I have unmet dependencies but install -f doesn't fix them
[19:10] <sorinello> Hello. Could someone guide me on how to debug an issue I am having with ubuntu ? After starting the PC, I don't gat the login screen at all.  I started by removing nvidia drivers because they didn't work properly with gnome, now I can't get any graphical output
[19:12] <alkisg> scrabcakes: try sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf; sync; sudo reboot
[19:13] <scrabcakes> the closest I can get is the gnome 'dots' loading when it freezes. also the package I can
[19:13] <scrabcakes> *I can't install is lightdm, one post said remove and reinstall
[19:13] <alkisg> Ouch
[19:13] <alkisg> That probably removed ubuntu-desktop too then?
[19:13] <scrabcakes> would you like me to shout louder from this deep hole I have dug?
[19:14] <alkisg> Maybe `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` ?
[19:14] <scrabcakes> that doesn't work either, it still says unmet dependencies
[19:14] <alkisg> Which ones?
[19:14] <C0r3> ouroumov__: `sync` without any arguments right?
[19:15] <alkisg> scrabcakes:  You run `sudo apt-get update` before apt-get install, right?
[19:15] <scrabcakes> yes
[19:15] <alkisg> OK, put the output of apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, to paste.ubuntu.com...
[19:15] <alkisg> You can use the pastebinit package, or scp if you know it
[19:15] <scrabcakes> yes, do you want install ubuntu-desktop or lightdm? lightdm has more problems
[19:16] <alkisg> ubuntu-desktop
[19:16] <alkisg> Or put both of them, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop lightdm
[19:16] <alkisg> ok, it depends on lightdm, it's the same in any case
[19:17] <C0r3> alkisg: I tried `sudo kvm -m 512 /dev/sdb`. It opened up a new window and it's giving the same error: '/casper/vmlinux.efi: file not found' <No Texts!>

[19:17] <Guest76133> Hi

[19:28] <kev999> Hi - been using putty to connect from windows to ubuntu with public key authentication, but windows pc crashed. Restored PC, but want to revert to normal password putty ssh connection
[19:29] <kev999> I'm assuming I need to update sshd_config, but don't know how to revert - can anyone help pleeeaaase
[19:30] <trunk_monkey> Any of you guys have experience w/ the i3 wm?
[19:31] <C0r3> alkisg: It says, invalid or corrupt kernel image. What to do? ouroumov__: Any idea?
[19:31] <ouroumov__> uhm
[19:32] <trunk_monkey> whois
[19:32] <ouroumov__> C0r3, did you check your .iso's checksum before burning it?
[19:33] <Loshki> kev999: I don't understand. You say your windows pc putty client crashed. That should have no effect on the *server*. ?
[19:34] <C0r3> ouroumov__: No. How to do that?
[19:34] <kev999> Think I disabled password login, but was long time ago - forgot what step i took (stupid I know)
[19:35] <kev999> I get access denied - PAM auth.log not very helpful
[19:35] <adeon_> kev999 do you have access to that machine physically or locally/
[19:35] <ouroumov__> C0r3, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto
[19:35] <kev999> yes - access to both machines
[19:35] <C0r3> ouroumov__: Okay!
[19:35] <adeon_> so then just update the sshd_config that way
[19:36] <adeon_> if you dont have the password of the unit, drop to a root shell and change it
[19:37] <kev999> I have always used root - it's a local test server I have updated line permitrootlogin yes
[19:38] <adeon_> if you have root access you should be fine, just modify everything you need on that machine, generate a new key if you need it then you can login from external. I dont recomend you having a root account
[19:38] <adeon_> for ssh tho
[19:38] <scrabcakes> alkisg: did you leave? ><
[19:38] <kev999> it's currently got usepam yes and in the (pam) comments it says pam authentication may bypass permitroot login - not sure why that would be

[19:39] <rasalghul> hello!
[19:39] <kev999> adeon_ so your advise is to run through the process again and just replace keys?
[19:39] <kev999> and forget about normal login?
[19:41] <ioria> scrabcakes, did you install   ppa ? xorg-edgers  precisely  ?
[19:41] <rasalghul> guys, how can I change trash folder and make it mine??
[19:41] <k1l> rasalghul: what trash folder?
[19:41] <rasalghul> It belongs to root
[19:41] <adeon_> kev999 yes, you canalso get the keys locally within that server
[19:41] <k1l> rasalghul: which location?
[19:41] <rasalghul> kil, trash
[19:42] <adeon_> kev999 wieht  re do it or get the keys from within the server
[19:42] <adeon_> either'
[19:42] <k1l> rasalghul: /path/to/where ?
[19:42] <scrabcakes> can anyone else help? I have unmet deps but they are in fact installed. also might have "held packages"
[19:43] <ioria> scrabcakes, did you install   ppa ? xorg-edgers  precisely  ?
[19:43] <adeon_> kev999 for security purposes i would not recommend you leave regular login enabled
[19:43] <kev999> adeon_ thanks for your help - I'll try that - point on root SSH noted - thanks
[19:43] <rasalghul> kil, /home/my_user/.local/share
[19:43] <k1l> rasalghul: either you messed with sudo and root or you mean the trash folder on another partition/drive made by the filesystem.
[19:43] <rasalghul> belongs to root but it is my account
[19:43] <kev999> where is the regular login enabled set ? are you talking about root?
[19:44] <scrabcakes> ioria: what do you mean?
[19:45] <k1l> rasalghul: ok, so you messed with root? i guess you used sudo nautilus or such. so now use "chown" to get it back: sudo chown username:username /home/username/.local/share/Trash
[19:45] <ioria> scrabcakes, how did you install nvidia drivers ?
[19:45] <scrabcakes> ioria: install nvidia-current. I then removed them. I then removed lightdm as per a post but can't reinstall it!
[19:46] <ioria> scrabcakes, don't use ppa ?
[19:46] <rasalghul> kil, is because I can't delete files to trash, shows me this: You can not move "X" to the trash. Want to delete it immediately ?
[19:46] <scrabcakes> ioria: how can I not use ppa?
[19:47] <rasalghul> kil, and I look for Trash permission and belongs to root
[19:47] <rasalghul> kil, I want make it trash mine
[19:48] <rasalghul> it's that ok?
[19:48] <ioria> scrabcakes, ppa are extra repos that can cause conflicts .... can you paste  ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d  ?
[19:48] <k1l> rasalghul: sudo chown -R username:username /home/username/.local/share/Trash
[19:48] <k1l> rasalghul: exchange the 3 username with your username
[19:49] <C0r3> ouroumov__: I'm unable to verify it. May be my iso image is corrupt.
[19:49] <scrabcakes> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15200725/
[19:50] <rasalghul> kil, I'm grateful that it worked great :)
[19:50] <ioria> scrabcakes,  ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d          (note the .d)
[19:51] <scrabcakes> ioria: ah sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/15200751/
[19:53] <k1l> rasalghul: dont run sudo with GUI programs in future
[19:53] <ioria> scrabcakes,  ok, you have ppa then...  from where did you download the ubuntu iso ? because i see a 'Beta amd64'
[19:54] <scrabcakes> ioria: I've had it ages and I'm fairly certain it wasn't a beta. is it possible to upgrade to a beta? maybe I did that accidently
[19:54] <rasalghul> kil, ok thanks I have it in mind :)
[19:55] <ioria> scrabcakes,  well, it is ... cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep Beta
[19:55] <OnkelTem> Hi. I'm writing a startup script (service) and have some problems with identifying a process. It's actually the dropbox service process. It's started as ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd, but that is just a wrapper script which then "exec"s dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.14.7/dropboxd binary. As result, I can stop the service using start-stop-dameon as the lanching and stoping paths are different. Any ideas how to workaround
[19:55] <OnkelTem> such cases?
[19:56] <OnkelTem> I can't*
[19:56] <OnkelTem> DAEMON=.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
[19:57] <OnkelTem> and I wished to use this var both for starting and stopping
[19:57] <scrabcakes> ioria: is that not commented out? and as I say is it possible to upgrade to beta or do you have to install it from iso?
[19:58] <ioria> scrabcakes,  that's mine # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS _Trusty Tahr_ - Release amd64 (20150218.1)]
[19:59] <ioria> scrabcakes,  anyways .... apt-cache policy libcheese-gtk23

[20:06] <wdbl> Ubuntu used to install perfectly into a VirtualBox guest. Now when I install 14.04 64-bit, I get the lowest resolution (~640x480) and whenever I try to enable the "InnoTek: ... VirtualBox Graphics Adapter" the "Additional Drivers" dialog but every time I hit "Apply Changes" the change gets reverted and I get no errors. Can anyone help me out? I've tried everything I found online already (namely:
[20:06] <wdbl> "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms" and the previously mentioned drivers dialog.)
[20:07] <wdbl> VirtualBox should be available to everybody to test Ubuntu on - I don't understand how this could have gotten screwed up. It's like the most universal hardware ever.

[20:09] <ioria> scrabcakes,  are you in console now ?
[20:09] <scrabcakes> ioria: I'm on irc on laptop, on console on desktop (the broken one)
[20:09] <wdbl> reisio: Why do I have to install it from the CD though? Ubuntu used to install everything that I needed during installation. This seems like a major regression.
[20:10] <ioria> scrabcakes,  have you tried to purge ubuntu-desktop ?
[20:10] <constantin_mike> hello. i have a ssh key, a *.ppk file. how do i add it to keys, so i could log in only with username@host ?!
[20:10] <scrabcakes> ioria: "is not installed, so not removed"

[20:13] <wdbl> what does "sudo m-a prepare" do?
[20:13] <ioria> scrabcakes,  sudo apt-get purge  libcheese-*
[20:14] <reisio> wdbl: it prepares the system for building a module
[20:14] <wdbl> `which m-a` returns nothing
[20:14] <wdbl> reisio: OK so I guess m-a is not a command
[20:14] <reisio> wdbl: might be in sbin
[20:15] <reisio> just try it, as it is shown on the page I linked
[20:15] <wdbl> I'm pretty sure it will work, but I like to know what commands do
[20:15] <wdbl> I also was trying to avoid installing from the CD
[20:15] <scrabcakes> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15200973/
[20:15] <reisio> man module-assistant
[20:16] <reisio> takes a few minutes
[20:16] <ioria> scrabcakes,  sudo apt-get autoremove
[20:16] <wdbl> I guess I need to find out what is the difference between the virtualbox-guest-dkms and what I get on the CD...I haven't installed software from a CD in years other than OS iso files...
[20:16] <scrabcakes> ioria: same error
[20:17] <wdbl> I'd much rather get this software out of a repository - I can't believe that installing it from CD is the best practice
[20:17] <reisio> wdbl: not sure why you need to figure that out
[20:17] <reisio> you're already relying on VirtualBox
[20:17] <reisio> the "cd" is _in_ the repository
[20:17] <reisio> that's how it's available via the menu
[20:17] <wdbl> OK, so why is there even a package in the repository?
[20:17] <ioria> scrabcakes,  sudo apt-get purge  libcheese7
[20:17] <wdbl> Maybe I'll just follow all those instructs and then install it from the repo instead of from the cd
[20:18] <scrabcakes> ioria: not installed
[20:18] <wdbl> (because the CD is just a file on the host machine, and the repo will get updates)
[20:18] <wdbl> that's why I prefer the repo
[20:18] <reisio> wdbl: "Note: Ubuntu/Debian users might want to install the dkms package to ensure that the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp) are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next apt-get upgrade."

[20:24] <wdbl> I tried installing Ubuntu 14 directly on the hardware but it couldn't handle the "Optimus" Nvidia/Intel dual graphics crap without some major fiddling so I just gave up after like 4 hours of trying to get that to work
[20:24] <scrabcakes> ioria: 'none to upgrade' I don't particularly want to reinstall but I've sunk so much time this evening into this. also cheers for your help anyway
[20:24] <ebolaa> guuys please
[20:24] <DeeJayTwo> What's wrong with this? : http://www.pastebin.ca/3381871
[20:25] <DeeJayTwo> It was working with 12.04 and now it doesn't work with 14.04.4
[20:25] <ioria> scrabcakes,  no problem   download the iso from the ubuntu site
[20:25] <DeeJayTwo> the interface isn't created anymore..
[20:25] <wdbl> maybe I'll just go back to 12...isn't Google Goobuntu still based on Ubuntu 12 or did they move onto 14?
[20:25] <scrabcakes> ioria: yeah will do, thanks again for your patience
[20:26] <ebolaa> Hey whats wrong with my install i wont work1!!!
[20:26] <ioria> scrabcakes,  you're welcome
[20:26] <ebolaa> cant get the damn thing installing
[20:26] <ioria> scrabcakes,  what video driver are you using now ?
[20:26] <k1l> ebolaa: what hardware? what iso is on that usb? how did you make the usb?
[20:26] <sorinello> apw, Hello. Do you have an estimate until 1548587 is shipped via official channels ?
[20:27] <reisio> wdbl: should be able to use just intel or just nvidia with basically zero fiddling, FYI
[20:27] <k1l> ebolaa: did you check the md5sum of the iso?
[20:27] <scrabcakes> ioria: I have no video driver currently, it was nvidia... then nouveau... then nvidia :P
[20:27] <scrabcakes> ioria: but neither seemed to work
[20:27] <ebolaa> lga1151 i7 6700k skylake, ubuntu 86 on the stick made with universal usb tool
[20:27] <k1l> sorinello: what?
[20:27] <ioria> scrabcakes,   lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2 | grep Kernel
[20:27] <sorinello> k1l, ???
[20:28] <wdbl> reisio: It worked, but it left mouse trails all over the place and an "Unknown Display" showed up in my Display properties...when I deleted it, everything broke.
[20:28] <scrabcakes> ioria: nothing comes up
[20:28] <k1l> ebolaa: what ubuntu exactly?
[20:28] <ebolaa> i got 500 ssd split in half other half just waitting on linux
[20:28] <reisio> wdbl: usually requires a reboot
[20:28] <ioria> scrabcakes,   sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[20:28] <ebolaa> ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64
[20:28] <ebolaa> this is lts
[20:28] <reisio> wdbl: and I'm not sure what all it can really do for Unity/compiz accelerated effects, particularly without a lot of vram, and the experimental 3d stuff
[20:29] <scrabcakes> ioria: it comes up with lots of 'not installed so not removed'
[20:29] <ebolaa> k1l any idea ?
[20:30] <sstory> Is there any software that allows scanning from the command line?
[20:30] <wdbl> reisio: yeah, I don't really need it to be performant but it was broken - and I did do a reboot after deleting Unknown Display and it showed up again and still had mouse trails
[20:30] <ioria> scrabcakes,   sudo lshw -c Video
[20:30] <k1l> ebolaa: what OS did you use to make that system?
[20:30] <ebolaa> w7 ulti
[20:30] <sstory> I love gscan2pdf, but need to scan using a set of setting straight to a file in a folder without GUI intervention
[20:30] <ebolaa> 64b
[20:31] <ebolaa> i can burn this on dvd and says the same thing
[20:31] <k1l> ebolaa: can you try with the rufus usb maker?
[20:31] <apw> sorinello, you should come to #ubuntu-kernel and ask that ... one of my collegues will know the plan
[20:31] <scrabcakes> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15201102/
[20:31] <k1l> ebolaa: then please check the "md5sum" of that iso to make sure its not brokem during download

[21:00] <sardsurfer> hello there, is it dangerous to spotify, megasync and google ppa? Are they bad ones? tnx
[21:02] <baizon> sardsurfer: im using the megasync and spotify repo, no problems with them
[21:02] <nicomachus> sardsurfer: this is the best way to install spotify. every other way I have tried is broken, or gives an old, outdated version of spotify: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-install-spotify-in-ubuntu
[21:02] <markwalt> sardsurfer, I'm using the google ppa for chrome, and it hasn't hut me
[21:03] <markwalt> "hurt"
[21:03] <baizon> nicomachus: deb http://repository.spotify.com testing non-free, this adds the newest version, which is working very well
[21:04] <sardsurfer> sounds googd
[21:04] <sardsurfer> good
[21:04] <nicomachus> baizon: that's literally what I just linked.
[21:05] <baizon> nicomachus: no, check again
[21:05] <xxx> hi
[21:05] <sardsurfer> stable vs testing
[21:05] <sardsurfer> i wanna stay stable!
[21:06] <baizon> sardsurfer: im using testing, and its stable ;)
[21:06] <baizon> "stable" spotify is still 0.9, testing is 1.0.23
[21:07] <baizon> linux testing isnt really a testing thing imho
[21:09] <sardsurfer> what guide should i follow?
[21:09] <sardsurfer> they look different to me
[21:11] <sardsurfer> baizon, any idea?
[21:11] <sstory> squinty: scanmode --help on mine shows --ScanMode with options of Simplex|Duplex. I tried specifying --ScanMode=Duplex, but it didn't work. Is that the right way to give values to args?
[21:12] <faekjarz> Hey there, how to read the TBW (Total Bytes Written) of a SSD? Is that S.M.A.R.T.?
[21:17] <baizon> faekjarz: https://serverfault.com/questions/238033/measuring-total-bytes-written-under-linux
[21:18] <baizon> sardsurfer: what guide do you have?
[21:20] <sardsurfer> baizon, http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-install-spotify-in-ubuntu    -----     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Spotify   ---------    http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Multimedia/Audio/Spotify
[21:20] <dlam> is there a way to show UTC date next to my local (PST) date on the desktop?
[21:21] <baizon> sardsurfer: use the guide on ubuntu.com
[21:21] <sardsurfer> baizon ok
[21:22] <sardsurfer> baizon, do i edit stable to testing?
[21:23] <baizon> sardsurfer: well if you want the testing repo, then yes, replace "stable" with "testing"
[21:23] <scwizard> Hello, I ran this command:
[21:23] <scwizard> sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 1C4CBDCDCD2EFD2A
[21:23] <scwizard> it gives me: gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: Network is unreachable
[21:24] <sardsurfer> baizon tnx
[21:24] <scwizard> but I'm able to ping keys.gnupg.net
[21:24] <trunk_monkey> Hey guys, anyone running i3wm or i3 gaps?
[21:24] <baizon> scwizard: its working for me
[21:24] <faekjarz> baizon: thanks
[21:25] <scwizard> hmm it seems many have this problem
[21:25] <baizon> scwizard: https://paste.ubuntu.com/15201426/
[21:25] <trunk_monkey> I'm having pretty nasty screen tearing w/ firefox using i3, wondering if anyone has run into it; Ubuntu 15.10
[21:26] <scwizard> it works with the ubuntu keyserver
[21:26] <scwizard> maybe i can get the percona key from there
[21:27] <Ben64> trunk_monkey: usually it's best to ask how to fix something instead of asking if anyone here has x
[21:27] <scwizard> yup
[21:27] <trunk_monkey> Sorry Ben64 is my IRC newness showing ;)
[21:28] <k1l> trunk_monkey: which gpu?
[21:28] <trunk_monkey> Anyone have recommendations for fixing screentearing using i3; Unity, no tearing whatsoever..it's integrated intel graphics. Intel 3300 I believe
[21:28] <trunk_monkey> Yeah intel 330; lenovo thinkpad t420s
[21:28] <scwizard> strange that the ubuntu keyserver would work and the gnupg one would not
[21:28] <ouroumov__> trunk_monkey, maybe you can use Compton with i3
[21:28] <trunk_monkey> actually, compton seems to hvae cleared things up
[21:28] <Ben64> trunk_monkey: no problem. could be your gpu, gpu driver, firefox's hardware acceleration, something weirder
[21:28] <ouroumov__> Check it
[21:28] <trunk_monkey> Yeah
[21:29] <baizon> trunk_monkey: enable OMTC
[21:29] <ouroumov__> Oh nice
[21:29] <ouroumov__> Compton Saves the Day
[21:29] <ouroumov__> Again.
[21:31] <trunk_monkey> Yeah I've been furiously scrolling up and down and it seems be resolved when I use vsync w/ compton
[21:31] <trunk_monkey> weird
[21:31] <trunk_monkey> OMTC, a firefox setting it seems, no baizon ?
[21:31] <baizon> trunk_monkey: yes
[21:32] <baizon> trunk_monkey: layers.acceleration.force-enabled
[21:32] <baizon> trunk_monkey: then restart the browser
[21:38] <rud0lf> hello
[21:40] <rud0lf> my problem is skype (<IP_ADDRESS>) on ubuntu 14.04 ; the receiver of my video call sees me with 1-2 fps, it's not webcam problem, it's not a upstream bandwidth problem
[21:40] <rud0lf> i've googled for hours and no result :(
[21:41] <Ben64> real solution is to stop using skype
[21:41] <trunk_monkey> Skype apparently stopped linux support, I tweeted to bitch at them the otherday, top post on /r/linux
[21:41] <rud0lf> microsoft doesn't like linux users, does it? :)
[21:42] <trunk_monkey> rud0lf: do multiple people have this issue w/ your skype sessions?
[21:42] <rud0lf> yes
[21:42] <rud0lf> everyone i videocall sees me in 1 fps
[21:43] <rud0lf> i see them fine, and my webcam works ok in preview in skype options
[21:44] <rud0lf> seems like skype has problem with timing or a codec, but my english is not well enough to figure out a proper google query
[21:45] <trunk_monkey> have you tried another service, maybe google hangouts?
[21:46] <rud0lf> the person i chat with has preinstalled skype in his windows machine
 microsoft doesn't like linux users, does it? :) -> Microsoft doesn't like users.
[21:46] <rud0lf> can't really use anything else
[21:47] <Ben64> hangouts only needs a browser
[21:47] <MonkeyDust> rud0lf  that's because is now property of MS
[21:47] <MonkeyDust> because skype*
[21:47] <reisio> rud0lf: sure you can
[21:47] <trunk_monkey> Yeah Ben64 is right, all you need is a browser, I would try that if you can
[21:47] <reisio> rud0lf: http://talky.io/
[21:48]  * rud0lf takes a peek
[21:48] <reisio> tons of webrtc implementations
[21:48] <reisio> RIP Skype
[21:48] <trunk_monkey> I've heard liveJasmine is pretty good too...
[21:48] <trunk_monkey> mmmmmgiggity
[21:48] <reisio> heh
[21:49] <rud0lf> wow thanks
[21:49] <trunk_monkey> Do you guys remember when ChatRoulette was big...weird times...weird times
[21:49] <Ben64> trunk_monkey: not appropriate here
[21:50] <MonkeyDust> glad i opened that one in a private window ;)
[21:50] <trunk_monkey> Sorry Ben64
[21:52]  * trunk_monkey
[21:53] <trunk_monkey> Is there a cheatsheet for IRC commands anyone can link?
[21:53] <reisio> trunk_monkey: /help
[21:54] <reisio> /help, /help foo
[21:56] <rud0lf> reisio: thank you kindly for the link! it's all i needed, you saved me a lot of time :) *offers you a newborn goat liver*
[21:56] <rud0lf> that's most precious thing i can give

[21:57] <reisio> yes $
[21:58] <sasdsadas> hey guys.. I'm trying to connect to freenode from irssi, how would I do that?
[21:59] <reisio> /connect irc.freenode.net
[21:59] <reisio> /join #foo
[21:59] <reisio> /help
[22:00] <sasdsadas> reisio: I do `/connect irc.freenode.net`. Then after the `/join` command, I get `Irssi: Not connected to server`
[22:00] <reisio> wait after /connect
[22:00] <sasdsadas> I think maybe my organization is blocking irc or something
[22:01] <reisio> it takes a moment, you'll see some output
[22:01] <reisio> possible, but not _incredibly_ likely
[22:01] <sasdsadas> I can wait a long time, nothing happens
[22:01] <reisio> http://webchat.freenode.net/
[22:02] <sasdsadas> yea, I'm using webchat right now but don't want to rely on that
[22:03] <reisio> can you ssh to another box and irc from there?
[22:03] <reisio> /join #bshellz
[22:05] <sasdsadas> actually, the outbound port is probably random right?
[22:05] <sasdsadas> I guess I'll test it at home later, if it works from home then there's something fishy going on here
[22:06] <linuxthefish> sasdsadas very fishy!
[22:06] <sasdsadas> linuxthefish: are you a new linux flavor
[22:06] <linuxthefish> yeah :p
[22:15] <bart_> \join kodi-linux
[22:20] <cyberh99> Do you think tor is secure?
[22:21] <trunk_monkey> secure for what purpose?
[22:21] <trunk_monkey> just being anonymous?
[22:21] <thebwt> for doing anonymous things no, for doing things anonymously yes
[22:22] <k1l> cyberh99: that topic is better in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:22] <cyberh99> for being anonymous and browse for internet
[22:22] <thebwt> good point
[22:22] <cyberh99> I ask for the posibility of a fake node of tor
[22:22] <nicomachus> cyberh99: try some of the TOR IRC channels.
[22:22] <bekks> cyberh99: thats possible.
[22:23] <cyberh99> Okay thank you :)
[22:23] <k1l> cyberh99: this is ubuntu support only. for chat or discussion please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:25] <arunpyasi> guys, is ubuntu 14.04 shipped with curl preinstalled?
[22:25] <nicomachus> it's in the repos if it isn't already installed.
[22:27] <genii> arunpyasi: The curl package is not installed by default on a vanilla install.
[22:27] <arunpyasi> nicomachus: yeah, but needed to know if its shipped preinstaled or not.. thats all.
[22:27] <arunpyasi> oK genii thanks ! :)
[22:33] <kozukumi> hello, is there a way to make it so when i click a link in a program it activates the browser rather than just send the url?
[22:33] <b0s3d> hello Ubuntu :) i am having a little problem understanding what the "authorized_keys" file/directory is in this post: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys i am assuming that it isene the ~/.ssh folder, is this correct?
[22:33] <kozukumi> im not quite sure how to explain it to search sorry :/
[22:36] <EriC^^> b0s3d: yes
[22:38] <adeon_> kozu which app and ubuntu version are you using?

[22:53] <BinaryBandit> Hey Ubuntu I have a really strange problem
[22:54] <BinaryBandit> oops
[22:54] <BinaryBandit> hit enter to early
[22:54] <Mamiko> I have installed IPB on localhost, vm's IP is <IP_ADDRESS> but after clikin' something it redirects to <IP_ADDRESS> how to fix it?
[22:56] <BinaryBandit> Kubuntu (15.10) when I start it up X fails to start, but X is running.  Whats weird is the X logs show that its loading the Radeon driver on the second load but not the first one on bootup. Any idea what to try, I have tried reloading X and reconfiguring?
[23:12] <lerner> can I use 2 or 3 firefox profiles simultaneously?
[23:16] <Adriannom> Hi, I'm using AntiMicro and once two "keys" are held down, pressing another won't register. Any idea if this is a hard limit?
[23:19] <opt1mal> I'm using a VPN for internet on ubuntu 15.10 and noticed DNS traffic going to my ISP's address, yet leak test websites show no DNS leak. Looks like a bug. I can use firewall to block my ISP DNS addresses to make things normal. Anyone else familiar with this on 15.10?
[23:20] <squinty> lerner,  might want to check in the #firefox channel here on freenode.   starting firefox in a terminal with the following command will bring up the profile editor   firefox -p
[23:20] <catbeard> hey guys, can anyone take a look at this ufw ruleset and let me know what's wrong with it, says wrong # of arguments

[23:27] <jackwebs> anyone got any tips for speeding up ubuntu?
[23:27] <jackwebs> I've got a laptop that's had it on for a few years and it seems to be getting slower and slower
[23:27] <jackwebs> and freezing from time to time
[23:28] <squinty> jackwebs,  might want to install bleachbit (similar to ccleaner for windows) and see if it can clear some junk
[23:30] <jackwebs> squinty, cheers, I'll have a look. I'm toying with the idea of switching over to lxde or something to see if that helps
[23:30] <jackwebs> I've already disabled all the unity animations and what have you
[23:30] <squinty> b0s3d,  you should be prompted for the passphrase after starting the ssh name@ip.  it is the passphrase (password) you entered which you were prompted for when you generated your keys
[23:31] <b0s3d> squinty: well i only get the usually password as if i was logging in with ssh without any keyfile installed
[23:31] <adri_> Hello people
[23:32] <adri_> can someone tell me where are the rooms for web developers
[23:32] <BillD73> I've got amount issue I cant seem to narrow down. The mounts work just fine but theexport for netuse is what gives me an issue after reboot. Issh in and run sudo exportfs -a  and then the mounts become available to the rest of network. Where shopuld I be looking?

[23:37] <BillD73> I'm sure it's just a syntax error due to my newbieness
[23:38] <squinty> b0s3d,  after generating the keys you will have to use a regular password to ssh into the host and copy the keys over (ssh-copy-id <username>@<host>)  then restart ssh (sudo service ssh restart)
[23:38] <b0s3d> ok :)
[23:39] <b0s3d> lol, you did some magic right there squinty :P i did try it before but it worked now, thanks alot +1
[23:40] <squinty> b0s3d,  good to hear  :-)
[23:42] <squinty> b0s3d,  btw, if you want to access a gui program on the host, you can use -X to accomplish that    ssh -X user@ip
[23:43] <b0s3d> alright, awesome
[23:44] <Madhumper69> anybody know a bit of the GRE port 47 for VPN with PPTP 1723 USING UFW??? i tried a few things but no go such as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1113911
[23:45] <SchrodingersScat> squinty: you don't have to restart ssh for ssh-copy-id, afaik.
[23:45] <Madhumper69> apperently GRE is a special port that needs to be configured into ufw firewall for vpn to work its a nightmare!
