[18:21] <afflicto> _war10ck_: I made that dir (~/home/bin) so it exists now.
[18:21] <afflicto> _war10ck_: still, same thing.
[18:21] <bazhang> tblake3, why are you asking for mepis support in #ubuntu
[18:21] <tblake3> klixa: that is a possible solution
[18:21] <_war10ck_> afflicto: Now try and see if the path gets loaded properly
[18:22] <afflicto> _war10ck_: it's not.
[18:22] <ibj_> ubuntu-restricted-extras already installed , i installed and xubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:22] <afflicto> _war10ck_: /home/petter/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
[18:22] <bazhang> ibj_, and you want to play a vob?
[18:22] <_war10ck_> afflicto: Is the / added before home now?
[18:23] <ibj_> YES .VOB file on magazine video DVD
[18:23] <tblake3> bazhang: because while I am not a fan of the Ubuntu interface as a matter of personal preference, I have found that the community here is very helpful and knowledgable on a wide range of Linux issues beyond Ubuntu exclusively.
[18:23] <bazhang> ibj_, so install smplayer and play it
[18:24] <mic2015> The Imitation Game
[18:24] <bazhang> tblake3, mepis is simply NOT supported here
[18:24] <bazhang> tblake3, use alis to find the mepis channel

[18:24] <r0n> Hi, since my clean install of 15.04 I've got random shutdowns without warning about every 30+min. Everything was fine under 14.04. Temperatures are ok. Any lead ?
[18:24] <afflicto> _war10ck_: omg it works now!
[18:24] <bazhang> mic2015, no warez here
[18:24] <jarlopez> Hey guys. I'm having some issues with X. After logging in, the screen goes black for a few seconds, every few seconds. I've tried resetting compiz to its defaults and re-installing my graphics drivers. All my TTYs display fine, it's when I startx that the issue appears
[18:24] <jarlopez> Any help/tips to debug and solve would be appreciated
[18:24] <r0n> ioria, new kernel didn't solved it
[18:25] <afflicto> _war10ck_: I think I typed it wrong somehow.
[18:25] <ioria> bazhang, on their web page they said :"The MEPIS community is small , although it is based on Debian, so you can draw on, for example, the Ubuntu community as well)"
[18:25] <bazhang> ioria, thats not we say here though, its not supported here
[18:26] <ioria> bazhang, i know, they don't
[18:26] <_war10ck_> afflicto: add an export PATH after the PATH=...statement
[18:26] <tblake3> bazhang: my issue is not a mepis/ubuntu/{insert any other OS} issue, it's a boot/bios issue. If it's inapropriate to bring that issue here, I apologize. I'm just looking for help from people that know more than me.
[18:26] <bazhang> tblake3, the mepis or ##linux channel NOT here
[18:27] <_war10ck_> afflicto: See if this way it works out -- export PATH=/path/to/dir:$PATH
[18:27] <afflicto> _war10ck_: No, it works!
[18:28] <afflicto> _war10ck_: there was a typo I think, but I fixed it. and thanks for helping though!
[18:28] <marianne> jarlopez: what type of vid card are you using?
[18:28] <faqih> hello
[18:29] <jarlopez> marianne: intel corporation 3rd gen core processor graphics controller
[18:30] <ioria> r0n, what version of nvidia driver you have ?
[18:30] <_war10ck_> afflicto: Wish I could have found the typo - anyway, happy to help
[18:31] <ZxoR> I want to develop some application to Ubuntu users. like HexChat or somthing with GUI, what language is recommended?
[18:31] <tblake3> bazhang: Then if it makes you feel better, my live ubuntu disk won't boot either. Tried a few different distros. But we'll only talk about why it won't boot ubuntu from disk either.
[18:31] <r0n> ioria, i had 346 until now. Just tried 340 now but same problem
[18:31] <bazhang> tblake3, no, its not ubuntu , its mepis, stop asking for support on it
[18:31] <_war10ck_> ZxoR: if you prefer GUI, check QT(C++ and Python) else try out ncurses(c, c++, python)
[18:32] <marianne> jarlopez: and it worked on ubuntu before, right?
[18:32] <ibj> smplayer not helping either
[18:32] <ioria> r0n, take a look at this, just for info : http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/using-nvidia-graphics-drivers-with.html
[18:33] <jarlopez> marianne: Yeah. I've had compiz configuration issues in the past, so I reset that.
[18:33] <jarlopez> No dice
[18:33] <ZxoR> _war10ck_, Qt is just GUI creator or programming language
[18:34] <Caffee> hi
[18:34] <marianne> jarlopez: I had to pass on compiz this release and use the unity tweak tool. I have everything except eyecandy like rotating cube and wobbly windows but this is a laptop and it doesn't really matter to me, i do have workspaces though
[18:34] <ibj_> bazhang, what is that i don't know or i do wrong for to play my Video DVD ?
[18:35] <bazhang> http://askubuntu.com/questions/15090/how-to-play-vob-files-that-were-inside-a-dvd-disc ibj_ read this fully
[18:36] <marianne> jarlopez: did you reset compiz completely? or just change the values back? or?
[18:36] <ibj_> bazhang, thank you very much for your time.
[18:36] <tblake3> bazhang: I understand to you to be a supporter of Ubuntu and so I get that you don't want to fix a "Mepis" issue. I had the same issue booting from disc for Ubuntu. This is not a distro issue I am having, I have narrowed it to a BIOS issue. As a result of your hostlity, I am feeling less love for Ubuntu as a whole where previously I had viewed the Ubuntu community as very open and helpful.
[18:36] <jarlopez> marianne: Completely. I'm not certain that it's the culprit, though, /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't have anything about the repeating blank screens
[18:37] <marianne> jarlopez: dconf dump /org/compiz/  run that and see if it shows you still have something active
[18:38] <jarlopez> marianne: What do you mean 'something active'?
[18:38] <ZxoR> _war10ck_, Qt is just GUI creator or programming language
[18:39] <xMopxShell> hey, How can I set a preseed option for this installer prompt? http://i.imgur.com/C8AVQQg.png
[18:39] <xMopxShell> Or better yet, how can I look up preseed option name/values for anything in the installer?
[18:39] <marianne> jarlopez: when I had issues I thought I had reset compiz completely but there was still an item showing ...
[18:40] <orion> Hi. I am using packer to create an Ubuntu AMI, but when I do "sudo apt-get upgrade -y linux-virtual" I get a prompt informing me, "A new version of /boot/grub/menu.lst is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified." This prompt breaks my automation. How can I just accept the default answer?
[18:40] <marianne> jarlopez: it had something to do with the cube
[18:40] <jarlopez> marianne: Ah. Well, the command returns config. settings
[18:41] <marianne> jarlopez: right...
[18:43] <marianne> jarlopez: take a look at the stuff on this page...   http://itsfoss.com/reset-unity-compiz-settings-ubuntu-1404/
[18:43] <jarlopez> marianne: Can you think of anything to help verify that compiz is indeed the cause?
[18:44] <maszlo> Looking for some pointers on an issue having with booting. I seem to have picked up an issue on my boot with nfs network drives after upgrading to 15.04.  Its a rather long delay of i say about a minute. I have not been home yet to see if this is still an issue when local to the NFS drives, but guess i need to have them not try and automatically mount during boot.
[18:44] <marianne> jarlopez: no, sorry... only my experience. my Nvidia card NEVER had these types of issues, but the Intel in my laptop is a nightmare

[18:46] <maszlo> I will grab a picture.  its hard to determine if this is something should just adjust in fstab or this is cause by NTP(which looks like has some issue in starting.
[18:46] <jarlopez> marianne: Well, thanks a lot for the input. Do you have any hunches regarding which log files might tell me more? Xorg.0.log wasn't very fruitful, same with dmesg
[18:47] <orion> trism: Thanks! Should I be using dist-upgrade or regular upgrade, generally?
[18:48] <marianne> jarlopez: Ubuntu Desktop
[18:48] <marianne> The general theme for 15.04 on the desktop is one of bug fixes and incremental quality improvements as well as a more significant change in the move to systemd as an init system.
[18:48] <marianne> Unity
[18:48] <marianne> Unity has had many bugs fixed and new features added. Locally integrated menus are now available for unfocussed windows. There have been a number of usability improvements to the dash.
[18:48] <marianne> UNITY 7.3
[18:48] <marianne> A configuration option to have menus displayed at all times instead of only on mouseover.
[18:48] <marianne> Enable the Dash, HUD, or logout dialogs over fullscreen windows.
[18:48] <Nick_Nuke> hey guys all of a sudden my ubuntu wont start- stuck onstartup syntax- have wubi dual boot w win 10 demo
[18:48] <bazhang> Nick_Nuke, wubi is not a dual boot
[18:48] <OerLuptop> Nick_Nuke, wubi isn't supported after win7
[18:48] <bazhang> Nick_Nuke, get rid of wubi
[18:49] <OerLuptop> !wubi
[18:49] <trism> orion: usually dist-upgrade so you can pull in new recommends and update things like the kernel, but I don't know about on a cloud image, maybe you don't want that in general

[18:58] <ibj_> How can I install XFCE desktop environment in PC LInux OS since there is no PCLOS XFCE build?
[18:59] <bekks> Ask the PC Linux OS Support.
[18:59] <OerLuptop> ibj, wrong chanel, this is ubntu support only
[18:59] <Pici> ibj_: PCLOS's support is in #pclinuxos, not #ubuntu
[18:59] <twiler> Hey guys, I need help generating a pgp key.. Every time I click through the process using seahorse, I get the "General Error" message. I also get an error when I try to use terminal to generate the keys. Googled the problem, and it would seem that I need to delete the ~/.gnupg/ folder, but, I can't, on account of needing root to do that. So, if anyone can either guide me through the process of generating a pgp key successfully,
[18:59] <twiler> or deleting the ~/.gnupg/ folder, I'd greatly appreciate your help!
[18:59] <Pici> ibj_: actually it looks like #pclinuxos-support (weird)
[19:00] <Caffee> hi
[19:01] <zykotick9> twiler: if your users' ~/.gnupg directory is owned by root, or has root owned files - that _might_ be the issue!
[19:01] <ibj_> I've seen screenshots published in PCLOS Magazine with XFCE DE. I know i can install the XFCE desktop metapackage from the command line but i guess it's furthermore complex operation since i want only one desktop environment from the beginning.
[19:01] <twiler> zykotick9: Right, but, how can I fix that?
[19:01] <twiler> You know?
[19:02] <OerLuptop> danizos "chsh -s /bin/zsh" logout and login again?
[19:02] <twiler> Like, something helpful I could do to begin to understand how to fix the problem would be really appreciated!
[19:02] <zykotick9> twiler: "sudo chown -r youruser:youruser ~/.gnupg" should work  (it might be a capital R)
[19:02] <Bashing-om> twiler: ^^ sysop@1404mini:~$ ls -al ~/.gnupg >> -rw-------  1 sysop sysop 9398 Jun  6  2013 gpg.conf . For instance .
[19:03] <daninoz> OerLuptop, it doesn't work because I'm a network user and I'm not on /etc/passwd so I cant determine my username
[19:03] <twiler> ok, I will attempt to do zykotixck9's fix!
[19:06] <twiler> ok, zycotick9, nothing happened at all, is that what you expected?
[19:07] <redemptionsong> When I run apt-get update, I get a warning about dupicate sources at the end of output : http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/     When I open /etc/apt/sources.list     I don't see those entries. Does anyone know where these entries are to be found?
[19:07] <twiler> Like, should that've enabled me to delete the folder?
[19:07] <zykotick9> twiler: "ls -ld ~/.gnupg" who owns it?
[19:07] <bazhang> sources,list,d redemptionsong

[19:08] <zykotick9> twiler: :)
[19:08] <twiler> Dude! You rock!
[19:09] <twiler> OK, I'm gonna see if that fixes my pgp problem now!
[19:09] <ibj_> I found this and i'm sure it will do as expected: http://linux.softpedia.com/blog/4MPlayer-12-0-Beta-Is-a-Linux-Distro-Used-Just-to-Play-Video-Files-480065.shtml

[19:14] <twiler> So,  zycotick9, why did that happen?
[19:14] <twiler> Or, how, rather?
[19:15] <EriC^^> redemptionsong: the package lists
[19:15] <zykotick9> twiler: i'd "guess" you used sudo when using seahorse perhaps?
[19:15] <twiler> No, I didn't.. I am still trying to get seahorse to work, also, fyi
[19:16] <zykotick9> twiler: not sure then?
[19:16] <gr1zzlybe4r> so i just upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04 and now I can't move my mouse on screen at all

[19:18] <ibj_> !info KDE Plasma
[19:18] <jeffreylevesque> what is the recommended PPA to install ffmpeg?
[19:19] <EriC^^> jeffreylevesque: ffmpeg is in the repos
[19:19] <Cheesus_Christ> Jordan_U, I think so. Is there compatibility issues with that?
[19:19] <EriC^^> !info kubuntu-desktop | ibj_
[19:19] <jeffreylevesque> i thought ffmpeg is not in 14.04 ?
[19:20] <zykotick9> !info ffmpeg
[19:20] <jeffreylevesque> since, libav replaced it
[19:20] <zykotick9> s/replaced/forked/
[19:21] <Cheesus_Christ> Jordan_U, confirmed, is definitely haswell
[19:22] <Cheesus_Christ> would 15.04 be better? I'm not too deep into this os, so i can switch
[19:23] <SchrodingersScat> jeffreylevesque: I thought so too, was it returned? I see it in 15.04 now
[19:23] <jeffreylevesque> i tihnk it was returned for 15.04, but not for 14.04
[19:23] <jeffreylevesque> let me try sudo apt-get ffmpeg
[19:23] <Jordan_U> Cheesus_Christ: Then you're probably hitting this: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/34868.html
[19:24] <EriC^^> jeffreylevesque: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[19:24] <EriC^^> it's in 14.04 i have it here
[19:24] <jeffreylevesque> so, it was returned?
[19:25] <twiler> Hey there, zycotick9, i think it worked, afterall
[19:25] <SchrodingersScat> jeffreylevesque: seems like it, idk why :)
[19:25] <jeffreylevesque> that's really coolio
[19:25] <twiler> But, how do I know? Or, how would I use this key?
[19:25] <shinka> Just bought a new Dell XPS13 (with Linux), it has broken packages and I want to do a clean install (Ubuntu GNOME 15.04). When I boot on the USB drive I choose "install Ubuntu GNOME" then it shows the Ubuntu GNOME loading screen... and it opens Ubuntu 14.04!!! I've never seen something so confusing, I just cannot boot on the USB key, it always loads Ubuntu 14.04. I tried with two usb keys and always get the same result. What could be the cause of this?
[19:25] <SchrodingersScat> jeffreylevesque: I was just getting used to avconv, now idk which to concentrate on learning particulars of :|
[19:25] <zykotick9> twiler: cool... i don't have any other suggestion...  fyi, you can use TAB to autocomplete nick names (if you have a decent IRC client)
[19:26] <OerLuptop> shinka, maybe wrong iso  on that usb?
[19:26] <jeffreylevesque> i hear ya
[19:26] <twiler> zykotick9, cool, thanks a lot for the tip,I just now did it
[19:26] <Jordan_U> Cheesus_Christ: So there have been some kernel patches submitted *very* recently (not even in the upstream kernel yet, so not in 15.04 either) that will allow you to have a setting which is both safe and saves a lot of power. Right now you have two choices, overly safe and power hungry and overly aggressive with power savings (may lead to data loss).
[19:26] <jeffreylevesque> I'm going to focus on ffmpeg, since opencv uses it
[19:26] <twiler> So, can anyone help me with pgp keys?
[19:27] <Jordan_U> Cheesus_Christ: Of course given those two options, the current default is to be safe but power hungry.
[19:27] <shinka> OerLuptop: No, it shows the Ubuntu GNOME screen and then load standard Ubuntu 14.04 (with the dell logo & all, no install button...).
[19:27] <twiler> I generated a key, in terminal, but, I don't know how to use it..
[19:27] <shinka> I've never, ever seen something that weird.
[19:28] <Cheesus_Christ> Jordan_U, thanks for the info! Kinda sucks for the efficiency thing... wonder how long it'll be before they get this update out, considering this is already 1.5 years old...
[19:28] <Cheesus_Christ> this, being my proc
[19:29] <zykotick9> twiler: you might want to try #gnupg
[19:29] <DammitJim> to install sun java jdk 8 u 45
[19:30] <Jordan_U> Cheesus_Christ: If it's not urgent that you get better power savings now, I would recommend that you wait until the patches make it into a stable kernel (should almost certainly make it into 4.2, if not in 4.1) then upgrade to that kernel via the kernel ppa: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[19:30] <DammitJim> is it best to add a ppa or just download the tar.gz from oracle?
[19:30] <twiler> OK, thanks a lot, zykotick9
[19:30] <twiler> That tab trick is great, btw ;)
[19:30] <asbe> hi...
[19:30] <twiler> Thanks a lot for your help, dude!
[19:30] <bekks> DammitJim: manually installing it will leave you with manually fiddling it into your system.
[19:30] <redemptionsong> This may be a deeper issue than /etc/apt/sources.list.d   contents. The end of my apt-get update output, contents of ls /var/lib/apt/lists | grep google, and the content of file dl.google.com_linux_talkplugin_deb_dists_stable_Release is here :  http://ideone.com/irBdQa  [ I think I need to delete all the i386 stuff from that file, but not certain how that might work ]
[19:31] <Cheesus_Christ> Jordan_U, ah, gotcha. Thanks a ton
[19:31] <DammitJim> I guess I need to read about ppa
[19:31] <zykotick9> twiler: glad to help!
[19:32] <redemptionsong> I think what I'm worried about is whether or not that file is auto generated (1) or (2) altering the file will break shit
[19:32] <jeffreylevesque> E: Package 'ffmpeg' has no installation candidate
[19:32] <jeffreylevesque> i'm on ubuntu 14.04
[19:32] <redemptionsong> me too
[19:32] <jeffreylevesque> so, no - there is no such package
[19:32] <MonkeyDust> !find ffmpeg trusty
[19:33] <zykotick9> jeffreylevesque: will avconv not work for you?
[19:33] <Jordan_U> Cheesus_Christ: If you want power savings now, you can build your own kernel with the patches. Note that either way (waiting or building a kernel yourself now) you'll also need to set /sys/class/scsi_host/*/link_power_management to "firmware_defaults" or "medium_power" to actually see any change.
[19:33] <ibj_> How can i update  XFCE to v4.12 in XUbuntu 14.04 XFCE v4.10 else than manually compilling the tarballs ( i tried and i can't satisfy all dependencies ) if XFCE 4.12 is not available in oficial repos?
[19:33] <MonkeyDust> jeffreylevesque  also try winff, a gui for ffmpeg/avconv
[19:34] <jeffreylevesque> I need to adhere to https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/blob/4bf6bd3d37702ec316ffbddcc3f532a8671d7f56/doc/tutorials/highgui/video-input-psnr-ssim/video_input_psnr_ssim.markdown#how-to-read-a-video-stream-online-camera-or-offline-file
[19:34] <jeffreylevesque> so, i need to use ffmpeg
[19:34] <ibj_> I've seen some distributions based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but featuring the XFCE 4.12 metapackage...
[19:34] <jeffreylevesque> i may just find a PPA
[19:35] <Cheesus_Christ> Jordan_U, okay. good to know. Building a kernel is more work that I'm willing to do, so I'll just wait :P
[19:35] <MonkeyDust> jeffreylevesque  no, avconv replaces ffmpeg
[19:35] <jeffreylevesque> yea, but it's arbitrary choice of ubuntu
[19:35] <MonkeyDust> jeffreylevesque  yes
[19:35] <jeffreylevesque> and my main mission is explicit use of ffmpeg
[19:36] <ibj_> ...but i don't want to change my Linux distribution
[19:36] <SchrodingersScat> jeffreylevesque: yeah, not 14.04, but it's in 15.04, again,  idk why
[19:36] <redemptionsong> EriC or bazhang  maybe?
[19:36] <Bashing-om> ibj_: I can not couch for it .. but see: ppa:ricardo.teixas/xfce4-session .
[19:36] <jeffreylevesque> i may switch to debian for this project
[19:37] <MonkeyDust> jeffreylevesque  avconv is a different name for ffmpeg, but it does the same
[19:37] <MonkeyDust> has the same syntax
[19:37] <ibj_> thanks i'll workaround
[19:37] <zykotick9> jeffreylevesque: fyi, ffmpeg isn't in current debian...
[19:37] <Jordan_U> jeffreylevesque: It wasn't an arbitrary Ubuntu decision, it was an (arguably) arbitrary Debian decision.
[19:37] <zykotick9> Jordan_U: +1
[19:38] <jeffreylevesque> debian uses ffmpeg
[19:39] <jeffreylevesque> ah, my friend is using debian unstable
[19:39] <jeffreylevesque> i wonder if debian stable is using ffmpeg
[19:39] <redemptionsong> well, I gotta run anyway. I'll come back another time.
[19:39] <redemptionsong> Peace
[19:39] <zykotick9> jeffreylevesque: it's NOT.
[19:39] <Jordan_U> jeffreylevesque: Ubuntu simply pulls ffmpeg/avconv (and 99.9% of other packages) from Debian.
[19:39] <OerLuptop> "used', as ffmpeg had some serious issues
[19:42] <jeffreylevesque> ah i see
[19:42] <jeffreylevesque> i had forgot he said unstable
[19:44] <ioria> jeffreylevesque, i'm triend something for you
[19:45] <SchrodingersScat> jeffreylevesque: anyway, thanks for noticing that.
[19:45] <daninoz> hi, can i add zsh to load on the .profiles file? I can't change the default shell with chsh
[19:50] <gr1zzlybe4r> ok i've rebooted and followed some ubuntu help posts about getting my mouse to work, but not luck. I tried updating from 14.10 to 15.04 Ubuntu GNOME on an Asus u47a with an Elantech touchpad
[19:51] <karen_> Hi, guys, I've been struggling to get minecraft. I have it now and is supposed to open with Open JDK and have given it permission, but when I click on the minecraft desk icon, it looks like maybe it's trying to open behind my desktop. Is that possible?
[19:53] <Unode> hi everyone.
[19:53] <Unode> Is there any way to know which files would be removed from disk if a package is purged?
[19:53] <allam> hi everyone
[19:54] <Bashing-om> Unode: Use the '-s' argument in the command . -s is "simulate" .
[19:54] <allam> anyone have installed ubuntu server on server hp dl360?
[19:54] <bekks> allam: How does that solve your actual issue with it? :)
[19:55] <Unode> Bashing-om: I did but I don't get a list of files only a line saying "Purg package [version]"
[19:55] <Bashing-om> Unode: Show us the command you are attempting to do .
[19:55] <karen_> So, it looks like it lights up behind my desktop when I click on the minecraft icon. What do you think is happening?
[19:55] <Unode> apt-get purge -s gitolite
[19:55] <Unode> (for instance)
[19:56] <allam> have just installed ubuntu server on dl360 g7 and now unable to boot the server
[19:56] <Unode> was going for "aptitude purge ~c" but I want to know what is going to happen before saying yes.
[19:56] <genii> daninoz: When you do try to change from default bash to zsh using chsh, what happens?
[19:56] <daninoz> genii, cannot determine user
[19:57] <daninoz> genii, it happens because I'm not using a local user but a network one
[19:57] <allam> need help!!!!
[19:57] <genii> daninoz: Are you running it from inside a chroot, or inside of a sudo session perhaps?
[19:58] <wollie88> allam what is the issue
[19:58] <ibj_> alla try rescatux on distrowatch.com
[19:58] <Bashing-om> Unode: Proper syntax to be ' sudo apt-get --purge -s gitolite " as the normal user .
[19:58] <genii> daninoz: How are you connected to the machine? ssh or such ?
[19:58] <ali__> slm
[19:58] <daninoz> genii, no, I'm on the machine, but the user is not a local user
[19:58] <ibj_> i used rescatux today to restore the grub bootloader
[19:59] <daninoz> genii, it doesn't appear on /etc/passwd
[19:59] <Unode> Bashing-om: what version are you using? I don't have --purge on apt-get .
[19:59] <Jordan_U> Unode: I expect that the list of files removed from --purge would be the same as the files listed by "dpkg -L packagename".
[19:59] <daninoz> but it appears when I run getent passwd
[19:59] <Unode> Jordan_U: well, dpkg -L gives nothing. Possibly because the package is already removed (but not purged)
[20:00] <genii> daninoz: HOW are you on the machine then?
[20:00] <Unode> Jordan_U: to be precise: Package `gitolite' does not contain any files (!)
[20:00] <ibj_> allam, rescatux is easy to write to usb drive using Rufus.exe and easy to use , comes with tutorial. Use Rescatux if you need to restore the GRUB bootloader
[20:01] <bbhh> hjh
[20:01] <bbhh> jgjgjgjk
[20:01] <OerLuptop> ibj, in ubuntu we use bootrepair.
[20:01] <bbhh> jjglhkhhmkh
[20:01] <daninoz> genii, I just logged via the interface as with any other user
[20:01] <OerLuptop> !bootrepair
[20:01] <genii> bbhh: Please stop that
[20:01] <MonkeyDust> bbhh  it works, wde see you
[20:01] <genii> daninoz: Using guest login or such?
[20:01] <ibj_> !info Rescatux
[20:02] <bbhh> ,kgfgf
[20:02] <bbhh> kdfuhgldifg
[20:02] <daninoz> genii, no, I login with my domain username
[20:02] <Unode> Jordan_U: ok thanks. That is indeed the answer. Tried a bunch of packages in purged state and some do have files.
[20:03] <j_t> I just installed ubuntu 'along side' windows 7, but it didn't ask me to pick a partition size
[20:03] <j_t> What's going on there?
[20:03] <genii> daninoz: So this is something like a Samba login to a windows domain controller, or similar?
[20:03] <genii> Bah, work, afk
[20:03] <Jordan_U> Unode: You're welcome. The difference between removed and purged is system level (i.e. not in your home directory) configuration files. So packages with no system level configuration files won't have anything to purge.
[20:03] <MonkeyDust> j_t  are you familiar with partitioning?
[20:04] <j_t> MonkeyDust: yes
[20:04] <Jordan_U> j_t: You could have (or still can if you haven't actually installed yet) dragged the divider between Ubuntu and Windows to decide how much space each should use.
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> j_t  ok, you can change the partition sizes during installation... make sure you don't overwrite windows
[20:04] <daninoz> genii, yeah, something like that I guess
[20:04] <Unode> Jordan_U: I was just trying to make sure no config file in /etc was being referenced by gitolite. I've recently upgraded to gitolite3 and still have both installed, the former in removed state.
[20:05] <asbe_> hi
[20:06] <Bashing-om> Unode: ' apt-cache policy gitolite ' ? see if there is a conflict of installed versions ?
[20:06] <j_t> MonkeyDust: Thanks!
[20:07] <j_t> MonkeyDust: It chose 54 gigs or so for the partition
[20:07] <j_t> the weird part is, I don't remember it showing me that option anywhere
[20:07] <j_t> it just did it automatically
[20:07] <j_t> That's the part that confuses me.
[20:07] <EriC^^> j_t: i think it uses the unallocated space on the drive
[20:08] <EriC^^> not sure if it would resize the partitions using a percentage of the free space and use, did you use windows to shrink the partition before using the installer?
[20:09] <cam2211> hi
[20:09] <MonkeyDust> j_t  i already assumed you selected the free or unallocated space
[20:13] <genii> daninoz: I think you need one of three options: Create the same-named user locally and use the local zsh   or   use a command-line login to the same domain controller your other login uses and use the zsh there   or  make all the shells on the local machine default to zsh no matter the user
[20:13] <genii> daninoz: Apologies on lag, work is requiring me often this hour
[20:14] <genii> daninoz: Since it appears you have some kind of login happening, since you can issue commands... what is the result of the command: whoami
[20:15] <ioria> jeffreylevesque, are you still interested in ffmeg on ubuntu 14.04 ?
[20:15] <genii> !info ffmpeg
[20:15] <Guest33859> Everytime I stary my computer it says System Error report problem
[20:15] <Guest33859> How can I find out what that error is
[20:15] <daninoz> genii, my username
[20:16] <karen_> , guys, I am working on a laptop that has a broken screen. I have it hooked up to a monitor. I am wondering, if that is a problem with minecraft loading up on the desk top, because when I click to open it, it looks like something happens on my laptop's broken screen, but it dosn't come up on the desktop.
[20:16] <karen_> help!
[20:17] <Ben64> karen_: the "help!" is not necessary. you just need to disable the laptop screen
[20:17] <atlaspaine> hello
[20:17] <karen_> how do i do that?
[20:17] <r0n> raaa guys please help its making me crazy : http://askubuntu.com/questions/618756/random-shutdown-since-clean-install-of-xubuntu-15-04
[20:17] <Ben64> karen_: display settings
[20:18] <daninoz> genii, what I did was adding exec /bin/zsh to the .bashrc file
[20:18] <karen_> ya.. where? am new with ubuntu
[20:19] <Cheesus_Christ> karen_, top right gear icon, system settings, then display
[20:19] <genii> daninoz: So there is a directory of  /home/your-username   without there being an entry in /etc/passwd for that user?
[20:19] <karen_> ok
[20:20] <karen_> system settings, then "appearance"?
[20:20] <Ben64> karen_: Displays, probably
[20:20] <karen_> oh
[20:22] <karen_> oh my gosh! it's working! Thank you!
[20:23] <daninoz> genii, yeah
[20:23] <Cheesus_Christ> karen's gone... it's interesting how someone can get to an IRC channel, without even basic computer/ubuntu knowledge >_<
[20:24] <ioria> Cheesus_Christ, is automatic on xchat, for example :-)
[20:29] <g105b> test
[20:31] <Guest33859> I don't see why one would need 'basic computer knowledge' (whatever that may be) or basic 'ubuntu knowledge' (whatever the hell that means) to use a browser.
[20:31] <jeffreylevesque> ioria: yes sir.  Though, I think I could implement a PPA pretty easily
[20:33] <ioria> jeffreylevesque, why don't you use ppa ? there is a specific reason ?
[20:35] <DrakzPT> Hello there. I need help with some issues. I would like to install Lubuntu from Windows, as an installer, like the old WUBI.
[20:35] <Cheesus_Christ> Guest33859, oh yeah, there's web interfaces for this stuff... I forget these things some times :P
[20:36] <Bashing-om> !wubi | DrakzPT Though can be done, is no longer supported
[20:37] <bbby> greetings ubuntu ; I have a strange sudo problem that I've never seen; hoping someone can spot my error.  Description: http://hastebin.com/agifixuvuw  , sudoers content: http://hastebin.com/emuxanehuh
[20:38] <DrakzPT> I've just downloaded 14.04.2* iso, mounted it and just tried to run wubi.exe and it just tells me to restart the computer to boot as live CD. Can I download 12.10 and then upgrade to 14.04 or 14.10 or 15.XX?
[20:38] <bazhang> DrakzPT, dont use wubi
[20:38] <DrakzPT> Why so?
[20:38] <bazhang> DrakzPT, it has no use whatsoever, only downside
[20:38] <DrakzPT> I don't have any floppies or USB drives.
[20:39] <DrakzPT> My computer doesn't have a DVD driver.
[20:39] <bbby> DrakzPT: USB stick?
[20:39] <DrakzPT> Nope, I don't have any.
[20:39] <bazhang> DrakzPT, then burn a borrowed usb stick from somewhere
[20:40] <DrakzPT> bazhang, I has no friends :(
[20:40] <bazhang> DrakzPT, wubi is a complete dead end
[20:42] <dasjoe> DrakzPT: you could use the mini ISO from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[20:42] <YvesLevier> Hey :) i lost my mentor at the moment i installed virt-manager then looking at /etc/group
[20:42]  * zykotick9 _is_ surprised by how many people still use wubi
[20:43] <YvesLevier> ... for a line like " libvirtd:x:129:levier2"
[20:44] <YvesLevier> We are 2 ppl stuck
[20:44] <YvesLevier> can help plz?
[20:46] <iSteven> YvesLevier, how can anyone help if you do not say what it wrong?
[20:48] <YvesLevier> iSteven: We had problems with Vbox - someone began to help us to install virt-manager.
[20:49] <YvesLevier> Then he told to modify /etc/group
[20:49] <YvesLevier> to look for a line like " libvirtd:x:129:levier2"
[20:49] <rydzykje> hello guys, any specialist from "sed" ?
[20:49] <YvesLevier> then we are there and we lost our helper :(
[20:50] <YvesLevier> to make short
[20:50] <YvesLevier> we having no idea about what to do now with this line...
[20:51] <cih997> hi guys, ubuntu 14.10, upower version 0.99.1 (default in repos) has extremely annoying bug that consumes 100% memory. I tried to install newer version (which has fix included) but after reboot old version is back. Any ideas how to install newer upower without upgrading to 15.04? Any help much appreciated.
[20:51] <thell> Where should I ask about why the 15.04 kernel isn't including aufs3-loopback.patch ?
[20:53] <thell> nm... I'll try #ubuntu-kernel
[20:53] <Jordan_U> thell: Probably because aufs has been replaced by the (upstreamed) overlayfs.
[20:54] <pale3> anyone know how to use vcsh gitignore, I am lost?
[20:56] <k1l_> rydzykje: maybe ask in #bash or see if there is a regular expressions channel besides that
[20:57] <rydzykje> k1l_: thanks
[20:58] <MonkeyDust> pale3  this is abuntu support
[20:58] <MonkeyDust> pale3  this is ubuntu support
[20:59] <pale3> MonkeyDust: No way ;), I was just thinking if anyone is using vcsh for managing config files
[20:59] <MonkeyDust> pale3  sure you're in the right channel?
[21:04] <colorado> please how to fill a pdf application form , I need a program that will allow me to choose the font size , since document viewer don't
[21:05] <karen_> When I installed Ubuntu yesterday, it said that I could "pin" different things to the desktop. I would like to pin "gmail" and "yahoo" to it. How do i do that?
[21:05] <OerLuptop> colorado, how about writer?
[21:05] <bazhang> !info pdftk
[21:06] <colorado> how to download it from the terminal ?? what is the command please
[21:06] <MonkeyDust> karen_  open /usr/share/applications and drag icons to the desktop -- or is that not what you mean
[21:06] <karen_> ya that sounds good, MonkeyDust. Thanks!
[21:06] <OerLuptop> colorado, writer is standard installed, libreoffice, and why not search for pdftk in softwarecenter?
[21:07] <bazhang> colorado, pdftk?
[21:07] <colorado> ok i'll search
[21:07] <karen_> new to ubuntu. Where do I open that, MonkeyDust?
[21:07] <MonkeyDust> karen_  file manager
[21:08] <karen_> oh ok thanks
[21:08] <colorado> <bazhang ; writer doesn't support pdf , so ,,
[21:08] <MonkeyDust> karen_  and then computer > /usr/share/applications
[21:08] <bazhang> colorado, have a read of the ubuntu manual
[21:09] <bazhang> !manual | colorado

[21:10] <OerLuptop> sure writer does.
[21:12] <OerLuptop> !info nautilus
[21:12] <OerLuptop> optional... it is installed standard
[21:15] <MonkeyDust> OerLuptop  guess it means, your system can work without it
[21:17] <karen_> Looks like i have to get "file manager" from the software center, right?
[21:18] <ponyofdeath> hi, how is the domain set on a ubuntu system so that fqdn is sohwn when doing hostname -f
[21:18] <OerLuptop> Monkanamous, sure, but i think 'optional' supposed to be not installed.
[21:18] <ryan_461> karen_: no
[21:18] <OerLuptop> oops MonkeyDust
[21:18] <karen_> so new here with ubuntu. sorry
[21:19] <ryan_461> karen_: open a terminal and type nautilus
[21:19] <karen_> What will that do, ryan_461?
[21:20] <ryan_461> It will open nautilus which is file manager.
[21:20] <karen_> oh ok then hang on
[21:21] <karen_> That just gives me my "home"
[21:21] <karen_> I want to be able to put "yahoo" and "gmail" as icons on my desktop.
[21:22] <ubuntiste-msakni> Guys! Am arabic, and I find many SPAMS (in arabic) on the LP Answers section.. Is there a way to remove those spams?
[21:22] <ryan_461> Should have on left either computer or file system. double click
[21:23] <ryan_461> karen_: I don't know how to do that. I would just bookmark those two sites in firefox.
[21:23] <Jordan_U> ubuntiste-msakni: You can report them.
[21:23] <ubuntiste-msakni> Jordan_U, let me check the LP UI for that feature
[21:24] <karen_> oh ya, that sounds good too. Thanks, ryan_461.
[21:24] <ryan_461> karen Your are welcome.
[21:25] <zeeb> can someone send me the default compiz config for mate 15.04?
[21:25] <Jordan_U> ubuntiste-msakni: I thought there was a UI for it, but it looks like the standard way might be to simply "Ask" a question, with the question being a request that the spam be removed (including a link to the spammy question/comment of course).
[21:26] <ubuntiste-msakni> Jordan_U, there is more then 10 spams in the first page only x) :D
[21:27] <OerLuptop> zeeb, in terminal: sudo apt-get install dconf && dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
[21:28] <droid909> guys what the best way to disable a user using commands, not editing files
[21:29] <paultjuh> hi, is is possible to add the broadcom wireless drivers to the live/installer usb image so I have network during isntallation/live and it will get installed to the system (instead of transfering those files with another computer later with a usb stick?
[21:29] <Jordan_U> ubuntiste-msakni: Try asking in #launchpad, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Launchpad says that asking a question is the right solution, in your case saying "There is a ton of spam, here are 4 examples out of hundreds in the arabic launchpad Answers".
[21:30] <OerLuptop> paultjuh, that would be more work than starting a live session, install broadcom driver and starting the installation
[21:30] <ubuntiste-msakni> OK, I'll try to ask a question in the launchpad project on launchpad..
[21:30] <zeeb> OerLuptop - it said dconf had no candidate
[21:32] <paultjuh> OerLuptop: the problem is that I have to transfer all the dependencies etc
[21:32] <paultjuh> there is no easy way of getting all the related packages so I don't have to do trail and error?
[21:33] <OerLuptop> zeep, my bad, dconf-editor
[21:33] <EriC^^> paultjuh: all the related packages of what?
[21:33] <zeeb> i am unable to do anything with my window management, compiz has seemed to completely crap out and changing any of the options wont do anything
[21:33] <EriC^^> paultjuh: install debfoster
[21:33] <EriC^^> debfoster -d <package>
[21:34] <zeeb> i ran the command but it didnt change anything
[21:34] <zeeb> im stuck on a broken compiz
[21:34] <EriC^^> zeeb: dconf reset -f /org/compiz
[21:35] <OerLuptop> should work for mate-desktop though..
[21:35] <zeeb> didnt do anything
[21:35] <spill_> trying to install 14.04 LiveUSB boots and runs fine but I can install for some reason, getting a ata1:-ata2 softreset failed error at startup, any thoughts
[21:35] <zeeb> none of these commands are helping
[21:35] <zeeb> this is rediculous all i did was change a few settings in compizconfig now everything is broken
[21:35] <zeeb> wheres the darn default button? sigh
[21:36] <EriC^^> zeeb: try a different use, if it works then remove ~/.compiz and ~/.config/compiz-1
[21:36] <paultjuh> EriC^^: thanks will try that. Also thanks for the help this afternoon with the display issue. I downloaded a fresh live/installer iso and that somehow fixed my issue by the looks of it (iso was half year old, but expected things to be fixed by apt-get update+upgrade)
[21:36] <EriC^^> zeeb: *different user
[21:36] <zeeb> how can i make another user quickly? keep in mind I can barely access anything on my computer
[21:36] <EriC^^> paultjuh: ok, cool, were you able to recover your stuff?
[21:37] <EriC^^> zeeb: sudo adduser
[21:38] <zeeb> changing users does not have the problem
[21:39] <paultjuh> EriC^^: ms nowadays provide a online usb installer creator (like lili) and the keys are in the UEFI, so I still have windows for my games, now tonight I'm going to retry install ubuntu so I can do actuall work when I'm at work
[21:39] <spill_> trying to install 14.04 LiveUSB boots and runs fine but I won't install, shows no drives in the installer screen. thoughts?
[21:39] <laserbeak4445> Can someone tell me how I could backport a newer package?
[21:40] <EriC^^> paultjuh: ok, cool
[21:40] <MonkeyDust> !backport
[21:40] <Jordan_U> spill_: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[21:40] <EriC^^> spill_: type sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda
[21:40] <bazhang> laserbeak4445, PPA not backport a la debain
[21:40] <EriC^^> spill_: paste in paste.ubuntu.com
[21:41] <laserbeak4445> For example, if I type sudo apt-get install amarok/trusty-backports
[21:42] <laserbeak4445> I get E: Release 'trusty-backports' for 'vlc' was not found
[21:42] <laserbeak4445> Do I need a source or something
[21:42] <spill_> should I paste this output in here?
[21:42] <Jordan_U> spill_: NO.
[21:43] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | spill_
[21:43] <spill_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10992383/
[21:43] <zeeb> restarting fixed my compiz issue, but i still want to revert to default on my main user
[21:44] <zeeb> i want the hover over window showing a graphical preview feature and cant figure out what its called
[21:45] <Jordan_U> spill_: Have either of your internal drives been used as part of a RAID array in the past?
[21:45] <kostkon> zeeb, try resetting your unity/compiz config again http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
[21:45] <spill_> i should note that when I boot to the live cd for install before going to the ubuntu logo it quickly shows ata1 and 2 softreset errors
[21:45] <zeeb> will that reset it to the way it was by default on ubuntu mate?
[21:45] <spill_> yes, they have. I was using the RAID controler in windows but did not configure them as one just yet. I set the controler back to IDE for this install
[21:46] <Jordan_U> spill_: They still have RAID metadata on them, and that is why Ubuntu is refusing to install to them.
[21:46] <spill_> @Jordan_U ok, how does one get rid of this meta data?
[21:46] <laserbeak4445> !backport
[21:46] <kostkon> zeeb, oh you are running compiz on mate. It still applies to your case, in theory it should reset it to the defaults
[21:47] <zeeb> okay thanks
[21:47] <laserbeak4445> !packaging
[21:47] <Jordan_U> spill_: Please pastebin the output of "sudo wipefs /dev/sda". Note that you should not just trust me that that command is safe (even though it is), you should run "man wipefs" and confirm for yourself that the command will just list all visible filesystems (and in this case, RAID metadata) and their offsets.
[21:47] <zeeb> i think it reset it, but not to the way it was on Mate by default
[21:47] <zeeb> for example the snapping color is orange like unity not green like mate
[21:47] <zeeb> and im missing some features
[21:47] <AR45> clear
[21:48] <kostkon> zeeb, you could try reinstalling it. Try that, reinstall compiz
[21:48] <zeeb> the setting iw as looking for was called "thumbnail previews"
[21:48] <zeeb> so i pretty much have everything how i want now, just need to figure out the alt+tab
[21:49] <spill_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10992410/
[21:49] <kostkon> zeeb, what's the problem with alt+tab
[21:50] <zeeb> i dont have alt+tab currently
[21:50] <zeeb> need to figure out where to enable it in compizconfig
[21:51] <spill_> @Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/10992410/
[21:53] <Jordan_U> spill_: To remove the RAID metadata run "sudo wipefs --offset 0xe8e0dae200".
[21:53] <spill_> is this safe for my windows partintion?
[21:53] <Jordan_U> spill_: Sorry, "sudo wipefs --offset 0xe8e0dae200 /dev/sda".
[21:55] <Jordan_U> spill_: As long as your Windows partition is really only a normal partition on this disk, rather than part of a RAID array, yes. If it is part of an actual RAID array then that command will make it hard (but not impossible) to mount that array again and recover your data.
[21:55] <huig> hello, i am binding a key combination to an action. the action it is just something like echo '1' > file.conf, the problem is that file is protected from writing so i have to do it with sudo. is there a way (don't want to change the file permissions) that i can do this without having to enter my password when i press the key?
[21:55] <spill_> roger that, ya its just a SATA in IDE mode, not RAID at the moment.
[21:56] <Jordan_U> spill_: Once you've done that, please pastebin the output of "sudo wipefs /dev/sdb" (this will give us similar information, but about your second internal drive instead of the first one).
[21:57] <spill_> k, I'm on it now.
[21:57] <xray> hello
[21:57] <dcz> hello guys
[21:57] <xray> can anyone help i keep losing my wireless connection in ubuntu
[21:57] <dcz> is there anybody here searching for a team member for a small project ?
[21:58] <xray> is there anything i could try
[21:58] <huig> dcz, what project?u suggesting one?
[21:58] <spill_> @Jordan_U heres that output http://paste.ubuntu.com/10992469/
[21:58] <reisio> dcz: just start closing a project's bugs, and eventually they'll have thought you were a team member all along
[21:59] <dcz> i want to improve myself and also to help also projects
[22:00] <Jordan_U> spill_: OK, to remove the metadata from your second drive run "sudo wipefs --offset 0xe8e0dae200 /dev/sdb".
[22:00] <spill_> done, do I need to reboot to try installing?
[22:01] <Jordan_U> spill_: I don't think so.
[22:01] <Krazypoloc> Hey guys
[22:01] <spill_> I'll git it a shot then...
[22:01] <trprecht> Greetings. I am having issues with updates. I run apt-get update and get GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY
[22:02] <Krazypoloc> Whats the best practice for using isc-dhcp-server to host a DHCP lease range on a subnet that is different than the subnet of the server
[22:03] <Krazypoloc> trprecht: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127326/how-to-fix-missing-gpg-keys
[22:03] <Jordan_U> xray: If you're interested in helping with a package in Debian (which will indirectly help Ubuntu) you can run "how-can-i-help | less" to see areas you can help with packages that you have installed on your machine.
[22:03] <spill_> @Jordan_U appears to be working!, thanks a ton!
[22:03] <Jordan_U> spill_: You're welcome :)
[22:04] <huig> hello, i am binding a key combination to an action. the action it is just something like echo '1' > file.conf, the problem is that file is protected from writing so i have to do it with sudo. is there a way (don't want to change the file permissions) that i can do this without having to enter my password when i press the key?
[22:04] <gr1zzlybe4r> I feel like I've posted numerous problems today, but now I can't get my mp3 files imported into Rhythmbox. I've installed the "ubuntu-restrcited-extras" package and it's still not working. I'm not sure if this is the right channel to post this, but I thought I'd start here.
[22:04] <trprecht> Krazypoloc: thanks. I see it meantion 12.04, will this also work with 14.04.2?i
[22:04] <Ben64> huig: what is the actual action
[22:06] <xray> hello jordan what would you like me to do
[22:06] <huig> Ben64, echo '0' > file.conf
[22:06] <Ben64> huig: no, that is an example, what are you actually trying to do
[22:06] <xray> do you want me to type that here
[22:07] <Krazypoloc> trprecht: You'd want to transpose the release name at a minimum
[22:08] <huig> echo '0' > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness
[22:08] <Krazypoloc> Actually there is no release name so you should be good
[22:08] <huig> Ben64, i am using i3 and multimedia keys aren't binded, so i have to bind them that way
[22:09] <Nertie> hi everyone
[22:10]  * AR45 wave
[22:11] <Ben64> huig: write a bash script to do it, make root the owner, set permission to 4550 or something like that
[22:11] <AR45> I saw a book on 15.04 in barnes and noble a few days ago, was suprised.
[22:12] <trprecht> Krazypoloc:  thanks seems to be working great now
[22:17] <AR45> I saw a book on 15.04 in barnes and noble a few days ago, was suprised.
[22:17] <AR45> oops
[22:21] <reisio> that's what's great about books
[22:21] <reisio> write a book on anything at all, let it rot on a shelf for years, eventually someone will buy it
[22:22] <AR45> eh much cheaper online
[22:23] <reisio> dunno, you can steal a book in person with less effort than online, if you're already in a book shop
[22:23] <joshumax> Hmm, it appears that there's a bug in XFree86 on my Ubuntu 4.10 install...
[22:23] <reisio> joshumax: yeah?
[22:23] <boncip> i want to know on when my charger laptop unplugged.. afaik the log on the syslog.. what log message says when it unplugged
[22:23] <AR45> hmph funny thing is I was reading through one book and found what seemed to be a sensor stuck on one of the pages
[22:24] <joshumax> reisio: Yeah... But it's been a while since I've powered the computer on...2006 was the last time I think...
[22:24] <kostkon> joshumax, X.Org more likely. XFree86 is a different implementation of the X protocol
[22:24] <OerLuptop> warty .. wily ..
[22:24] <AR45> i don't think i'd risk stealing a book to be honest
[22:25] <AR45> plus karma is an interesting thing you know
[22:25] <reisio> heh
[22:26] <genii> joshumax:  4.10 or 14.10 ?
[22:26] <joshumax> It's catching SIGBUS...
[22:26] <joshumax> *4.10*
[22:26] <joshumax> odd
[22:26] <genii> Hm, Warty
[22:26] <OerLuptop> joshh20, boot the live iso :-D
[22:27] <joshumax> c'mon GDM, I know you want to work...
[22:27] <OerLuptop> or was warty 2 cd's, install and live?
[22:27] <joshumax> OerLuptop: Did Warty even have a LiveCD?
[22:27] <genii> Warty was several, had PPC and X86
[22:28] <boncip> i want to know on when my charger laptop unplugged.. afaik the log on the syslog.. what log message says when it unplugged power adapter
[22:28] <boncip> ?
[22:28] <Johnny_Linux> plug me back in
[22:29] <joshumax> Mmm PowerPC; how I loathe your instruction set
[22:29] <genii> joshumax: There was a livecd but only for i386. All the others were install CD for 32 and 64 bit, and PPC
[22:30] <joshumax> Ah, makes sense; I only looked at the PPC ones
[22:31] <genii> joshumax: You should probably consider a later PPC ubuntu install
[22:32] <joshumax> genii: Most definitely, but I don't care about this computer; I just booted it up a few minutes ago for the "lulz"
[22:32] <genii> joshumax: Ah, OK :)
[22:34] <joshumax> Wow, legacy software is neat, except I don't think XFree86 is handling 1920x1280 correctly ;P
[22:35] <behie> try wayland
[22:35] <joshumax> heh
[22:35] <joshumax> Wayland might blow up my G1
[22:35] <reisio> joshumax: it's just 'X'
[22:36] <reisio> xfree86 is dead and buried
[22:36] <reisio> you can call it X.org if you want to be unnecessarily verbose and also not wrong
[22:36] <joshumax> But yet it sill lives in Ubuntu 4.10
[22:36] <reisio> heh
[22:38] <joshumax> reisio: IIRC isn't X.org, like XFree86, just different implementation of X?
[22:38] <joshumax> s/just/just a/
[22:38] <reisio> X.org is an implementation of X that is maintained
[22:38] <reisio> xfree86 is dead
[22:39] <joshumax> Yeah...but my Ubuntu 4.10 install is running XFree86...
[22:39] <Ben64> 4.10 is dead as well, doesn't belong in #ubuntu
[22:39] <joshumax> This is #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:39] <ThisShouldNotBe> lol
[22:39] <joshumax> Rught?
[22:39] <Ben64> no
[22:39] <joshumax> ?
[22:39] <joshumax> WHOOPS
[22:39] <joshumax> Sorry about that
[22:39] <reisio> lot of X.org things still have the string 'xfree86'/'xf86' in it, because of laziness
[22:39] <reisio> less reason to change it now than ever, with wayland coming
[22:40] <joshumax> I thought Ubuntu was taking the Mir route?
[22:41] <danielbrazilian> hello
[22:41] <laserbeak4445> Is it possible to install a package build for newer ubuntu distro from lauchpad. For exemple let's say that I what to install the following VLC build on 14.04: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/2.2.0-1/+build/7305772
[22:41] <laserbeak4445> How should I do that?
[22:41] <joshumax> laserbeak4445: Yes but it's *not* recommended
[22:42] <danielbrazilian> i have to turn my swapon every reboot can anyone help me how to leave it aways on please?
[22:42] <joshumax> It can wind up doing horrible things like breaking libc or some such badness
[22:43] <laserbeak4445> even if I purge completely my current vlc installation?
[22:43] <joshumax> danielbrazilian: What's in your fstab?
[22:43] <zeeb> So Suspending doesn't require Swap, but Hibernate does?
[22:43] <jeffreylevesque> can someone tell me the difference between `make -j $(nproc)`, and `make`?
[22:43] <joshumax> laserbeak4445: Depends on, well, the dependencies, and how old your Ubuntu install is.
[22:44] <danielbrazilian> joshumax, fstab?
[22:44] <joshumax> jeffreylevesque: parallel make vs regular make
[22:44] <jacksonm1lls> laserbeak4445: you might be better off just building it from source
[22:44] <joshumax> danielbrazilian: You filesystem table, /etc/fstab?
[22:44] <kostkon> zeeb, true
[22:45] <zeeb> So I don't have a swap, but if I want to save a bit of money on power, suspend will still save a good bit of power yes?
[22:45] <ki7rw> why is it that i can install kernel updates with synaptic but not on the cli with apt-get? (packages held back)
[22:45] <zeeb> Obviously not as much but it will be more cost effective than just not sleeping I think, yea?
[22:45] <laserbeak4445> OK thanks
[22:45] <bekks> ki7rw: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (NOT do-release-upgrade) vs. sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:46] <ki7rw> ok
[22:46] <ki7rw> i'll try that next time
[22:46] <danielbrazilian> joshumax, here it is
[22:46] <danielbrazilian> http://pastebin.com/pCndG2iC
[22:46] <joshumax> danielbrazilian: Ah thanks
[22:47] <joshumax> danielbrazilian: Is that all of it?
[22:47] <danielbrazilian> oops
[22:47] <danielbrazilian> swap is off
[22:47] <danielbrazilian> i will turn on and send again
[22:47] <jeffreylevesque> how is parallel make beneficial?
[22:47] <jeffreylevesque> when would that be useful?
[22:48] <joshumax> No
[22:48] <joshumax> Wait
[22:48] <joshumax> danielbrazilian: Just follow this guide --> http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/setting_up_swap.html
[22:48] <joshumax> You need to put this in your fstab
[22:48] <bekks> jeffreylevesque: It is beneficial whenever your computer has more than one physical core.
[22:48] <danielbrazilian> thanks
[22:48] <joshumax> danielbrazilian: This Askubuntu answer is also helpful --> http://askubuntu.com/a/199372/68227
[22:49] <jeffreylevesque> in this tutorial - http://rodrigoberriel.com/2014/10/installing-opencv-3-0-0-on-ubuntu-14-04/ they implemented `make -j`
[22:49] <danielbrazilian> thank you i will try now
[22:49] <ki7rw> is there an easy to use vpn client/server package? i'd like something that is essentially plug n play without having to spend a lot of time setting up a cert authority etc etc
[22:49] <jeffreylevesque> but, could they have accomplished the same with a simple `make`, instead of `make -j $(nproc)`?
[22:50] <joshumax> jeffreylevesque: Yes
[22:50] <boncip> i want to know the culprit that unplugged power adapter on my office.. yes i know it is on the syslog but what is the sign if poweer adapter unplugged on syslog?
[22:50] <joshumax> But it will probably be slower
[22:50] <joshumax> (er, the compilation time, that is)
[22:50] <laserbeak4445> Maybe one last question guys: Someone was talking to me about using backport to get newer package that what is available on the official repos. I don't know if he was talking about Debian or Ubuntu. Is there a difference about backporting application on Debian and Ubuntu?
[22:50] <ki7rw> VyprVPN?
[22:50] <Rufus> hello everyone. I'm strugling to get vnc4server on this ubuntu 12 machine to work properly. I get a grey screen and a couple of errors in my log file. Can someone please ssist me as to what I'm doing wrong?
[22:53] <pbx> Rufus, pastebin the errors
[22:53] <pbx> Rufus, and give specific versions of the os and vnc4server
[22:55] <Rufus> pbx http://pastebin.com/tzYpaZNB  running Ubuntu 12.04 and Xvnc Free Edition 4.1.1
[23:01] <millerti> Is the lastest Ubuntu any better at handling retina displays?  The LTS is lousy.
[23:02] <Rufus> pbx any thoughts please?
[23:06] <pbx> Rufus, i'm not X knowledgeable, just wanted you to give info so that those who are can help faster
[23:06] <Rufus> pbx roger that, thanks
[23:09] <paultjuh> hi, another question getting ubuntu working on my laptop
[23:09] <kostkon> paultjuh, just state your question
[23:09] <paultjuh> I have a broadcom wireless, and no other network device, trying to install bcwm-kernel-source
[23:09] <paultjuh> downloaded the files
[23:10] <paultjuh> but an error occurs during making
[23:10] <paultjuh> apparently it is a kernel version mismatch
[23:10] <AR45> making?
[23:10] <paultjuh> AR45: if I do apt-get install it does a make step
[23:10] <paultjuh> and that fails
[23:12] <paultjuh> http://askubuntu.com/questions/519308/bcm4352-offical-dell-driver-installation-problem basicly that problem, but i can't do a apt-get update without the wireless working
[23:12] <AR45> Are you using ubuntu?
[23:13] <paultjuh> currently I'm in windows
[23:13] <paultjuh> but I have ubuntu installed
[23:13] <paultjuh> just missing the network atm
[23:13] <AR45> Would you be able to plug a ethernet cable in?
[23:13] <AR45> How is it your doing apt-get install without an internet connection?
[23:13] <paultjuh> unfortunatly not
[23:14] <tocka> hi guys.. i cant remember but maybe you will know what im talking about, I want to generate a line of text from symbols. There was a program on the terminal for that but i forgot how it is called :|
[23:14] <paultjuh> I downloaded the packages from packages.ubuntu.com
[23:14] <AR45> What is the name of your wirless device?
[23:14] <kostkon> tocka, text from symbols? that's a bit vague
[23:14] <tocka> uhm.. i dont know how to describe
[23:14] <paultjuh> bcmwl-kernel-source
[23:14] <tocka> wait one second
[23:15] <tocka> kostkon i want to generate this kind of text :)
[23:15] <tocka> http://www.pastebin.ca/2996989
[23:15] <AR45> So you either have a Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, or BCM4322-based hardware
[23:16] <kostkon> tocka, ascii art right. give me a sec
[23:16] <tocka> yeah thahts what it is!
[23:16] <tocka> i completely forgot how it is called :/
[23:16] <jakesyl1> Hey, so I'm on ubuntu desktop trying to get onto the file system of a mounted ubuntu server drive and get a file, can you help
[23:16] <daftykins> jakesyl1: how is it connected?
[23:16] <jakesyl1> physically?
[23:16] <kostkon> !info figlet | tocka, this?
[23:16] <paultjuh> AR45: indeed
[23:17] <daftykins> jakesyl1: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[23:17] <tocka> figlet!
[23:17] <tocka> yay
[23:17] <tocka> :D
[23:17] <kostkon> tocka, ;)
[23:17] <tocka> thank you!
[23:17] <tocka> :)
[23:17] <daftykins> jakesyl1: no surprises there Sherlock, but i meant the connection TYPE
[23:17] <kostkon> tocka, np
[23:18] <AR45> paultjuh: Is there any known issues that made you go for a source code variant of your driver?
[23:18] <AR45> paultjuh: There are precompiled ones in the repository.
[23:18] <danielle331> Hi all having a bit of problem here. On 15.04 and can't login. Just keeps dumping me back to the login screen. Any ideas?
[23:18] <jakesyl1> daftykins actually think i got it one sec
[23:18] <danielle331> Shell on vt1 is fine tho.
[23:19] <paultjuh_> AR45: sorry switched to my other laptop
[23:19] <AR45> paultjuh: Do you have another computer so we can start diagnosing the problem in real time?
[23:19] <paultjuh_> yes just switched
[23:19] <AR45> paultjuh: Do you have another computer so we can start diagnosing the problem in real time?
[23:19] <Jordan_U> danielle331: That's probably X failing for some reason. Try changing to one of the fallback session options and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log .
[23:20] <paultjuh_> AR45: Iḿ paultjuh but on my other computer
[23:20] <AR45> paultjuh_: Boot your ubuntu machine
[23:20] <paultjuh_> AR45: done that
[23:21] <AR45> paultjuh_: In fact I know how we can solve this quite easily.
[23:21] <paultjuh_> AR45: I have a BCM4352
[23:21] <AR45> paultjuh_: How did you install Ubuntu?
[23:21] <paultjuh_> according to lspci
[23:21] <AR45> paultjuh_: Do you have a live USB?
[23:21] <Bashing-om> danielle331: Lost authorization to access /home ? Do you own ' ls -al .Xauthority ; ls -al .ICEauthority ' ?
[23:22] <paultjuh_> witAR45: with the live/installer usb
[23:22] <paultjuh_> AR45: yes
[23:22] <AR45> I want you to boot that live usb
[23:22] <paultjuh_> AR45: that also doesn have the wifi
[23:22] <AR45> Really?
[23:22] <danielle331> Jordan_u: failsafe session is same problem.  Something weird in dmesg…
[23:22] <danielle331> …. Do you know a programme to pipe from shell directly to pastebin?
[23:23] <AR45> paultjuh_: Are you certain?
[23:23] <OerLuptop> !pastebinit
[23:23] <paultjuh_> AR45: yes as it is a propietary driver
[23:24] <AR45> paultjuh_: That doesn't matter, we have open source drivers for this device.
[23:24] <AR45> paultjuh_: Well apparently.
[23:25] <paultjuh_> AR45: the previous time I did the manual installation I did it manually too with copying the drivers and install that way, but that didn handle the builtin monitor for some reason, so I downloaded a slightly newer version of ubuntu, and with that downloading doesn seem to work
[23:25] <AR45> paultjuh_: What version of Ubuntu are you running currently?
[23:26] <paultjuh_> AR45: 14.04 or more precise 14.04.02
[23:27] <danielle331> Bashing-om: Hm. I own everything in ~ except:. Ssh,. Mobile, and. GnuPG. Chowned all but same problem.. Xauthority definitely mine. Sorry for the bad typing, the Android soft keyboard sucks for this..
[23:27] <AR45> paultjuh_: I want you to download this on your machine with internet access
[23:27] <paultjuh_> AR45: mmh maybe I downloaded the wrong package maybe it should be linux-firmware-nonfree_1.14ubuntu1_all.deb
[23:27] <AR45> paultjuh_: http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2
[23:28] <Dias> goog evening
[23:29] <OerLuptop> i would use apt-on-cd
[23:29] <OerLuptop> !offline
[23:29] <paultjuh_> AR45: ok downloaded that
[23:29] <Dias> can anyone give me a litle help
[23:29] <danielle331> Dmesg output : pastebin.com/10993001 x. Org.log: pastebin.com/10993003
[23:29] <AR45> paultjuh_: Put it on your ubuntu machine and tell me when you are ready
[23:30] <danielle331> Is the dmesg anything to worry about?
[23:30] <Bashing-om> danielle331: Sorry, but messing about with " GPG agent and edit it's conf " is above my skill level . I do defer to Jordan_U  .
[23:30] <paultjuh_> AR45: ok ready
[23:31] <danielle331> Totally. I fail to see why that would interfere with x tho!
[23:31] <AR45> Actually paultjuh_ I want you to run this on your ubuntu machine in the terminal: lspci -nn -d 14e4:
[23:31] <paultjuh_> AR45: also extracted
[23:31] <saviog> very good its smuxi
[23:31] <saviog> hello gas
[23:31] <saviog> gays
[23:32] <Jordan_U> danielle331: I can't access either of those pastes, they both say "This paste has been removed".
[23:32] <paultjuh_> AR45: that lists the BCM4352
[23:32] <Jordan_U> danielle331: Ahh, you meant http://paste.ubuntu.com/ rather than pastebin.com
[23:33] <danielle331> Jordan_u : can you try pastes 10993046 and 10993048?
[23:33] <Jordan_U> danielle331: Can you login to a guest session successfully?
[23:34] <danielle331> Ah okay. I was just piping to pastebinit. Totally right thanks for catching that for me Jordan_u
[23:34] <saviog> such as sending a private message?
[23:34] <danielle331> I think the guest session is disabled Jordan_u
[23:35] <paultjuh_> AR45: are you still there?
[23:35] <AR45> paultjuh_: Yes getting something together for you ;)
[23:36] <Jordan_U> danielle331: Why do you think that?
[23:36] <paultjuh_> AR45: thanks!
[23:36] <saviog> yes
[23:36] <danielle331> Umm cause I'm an idiot if I can't figure out how to login as Fiat? ;-)
[23:36] <AR45> paultjuh_: Do you have your USB connected?
[23:36] <danielle331> Err, guest, even..
[23:37] <AR45> paultjuh_: With your Ubuntu installation files?
[23:37] <paultjuh_> AR54: itś currently in the ubuntu without internet
[23:37] <saviog> danielle331: please...
[23:37] <paultjuh_> AR45: yes
[23:37] <paultjuh_> AR45: it contains the live + some of the debs according some of the information I found looking for this problem
[23:38] <AR45> paultjuh_: It should have a pool directory
[23:38] <AR45> paultjuh_: open it
[23:38] <saviog> alguém, ?
[23:38] <Jordan_U> danielle331: You can also create a new test user with "sudo adduser test", then try to login as test.
[23:38] <saviog> some one?
[23:38] <paultjuh_> AR45: yes done
[23:38] <danielle331> I'll do that Jordan_u
[23:39] <tocka> a quick one guys.. should i disable root login and create a seperate user for my self on a vps? :o
[23:39] <AR45> paultjuh_: restricted/b/bcmwl
[23:39] <reisio> tocka: hrmm?
[23:39] <tocka> or should i use root login.. i am bit of a noob so yeah:)
[23:39] <reisio> tocka: the ubuntu way is to not use root directly
[23:39] <reisio> but it doesn't actually matter
[23:39] <tocka> k:)
[23:39] <tocka> hmm
[23:39] <danielle331> Tocka: yes, disable root logins especially on a server
[23:39] <reisio> do what you like
[23:40] <tocka> danielle331 k :)
[23:40] <paultjuh_> AR45: ok that is there\
[23:40] <paultjuh_> AR45: dpkg --install I guess?
[23:40] <AR45> What's inside that folder?
[23:40] <AR45> No
[23:40] <paultjuh_> AR45: a deb file
[23:40] <AR45> called
[23:40] <AR45> ?
[23:40] <danielle331> Hmm my test account loads fine Jordan_u
[23:41] <paultjuh_> AR45: bcmwl-kernel-source_<IP_ADDRESS>+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
[23:41] <AR45> Cool in terminal
[23:41] <AR45> I need you to do this
[23:41] <AR45> sudo nano /etc/apt/sourcelist
[23:41] <AR45> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:42] <paultjuh_> AR45: yes
[23:42] <AR45> remove the # infront of deb cdrom
[23:42] <danielle441> jordan_u: thanks, for some reason I had the weird idea that a shell user couldnt do a graphical login. such a relief to be back on a proper keyboard even if its not my normal account. now to troublesheet this issue properly...
[23:43] <Jordan_U> danielle441: You're welcome.
[23:43] <AR45> paultjuh_: it should be the first line
[23:43] <paultjuh_> AR45: the one with restricted?
[23:43] <paultjuh_> AR45: there are 5 cdrom ones
[23:44] <AR45> For instance mine says # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 15.04 _Vivid Vervet_ - Release amd64 (20150422)]/ vivid main restricted
[23:44] <paultjuh_> AR45: ok dit remove the #
[23:45] <AR45> From all of them?
[23:45] <paultjuh_> AR45: apt-get update ignores those though
[23:47] <paultjuh_> AR45: so yes all of them
[23:47] <AR45> Cool do a uname -r and then a dpkg --get-selections | grep headers
[23:48] <AR45> Make sure you have the linux-headers package that matches your current kernel version, plus the appropriate generic header packages
[23:49] <paultjuh_> AR45: 3.16.0-30-generic
[23:50] <paultjuh_> AR45: linux-headers-3.16.0-30
[23:50] <paultjuh_> AR45: linux-headers-3.16.030-generic
[23:50] <paultjuh_> AR45: linux-headers-generic--lts-utopic
[23:50] <paultjuh_> AR45: that seems ok I think?
[23:51] <AR45> Yes
[23:51] <AR45> paultjuh_: Okay one last step before we perform the install
[23:51] <AR45> In your app launcher open software & updates
[23:51] <danielle441> Right, so this is what I did: I removed an old, invalid .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf (from an old, none-linux computer), symlinked ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent-<mycomputer> to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, and added the line "pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk". and then I killed the agent. why would that log me out
[23:51] <danielle441> and stop me from logging back in again?
[23:51] <paultjuh_> AR45: done that
[23:52] <AR45> paultjuh_: Do you see installable from CD-ROM
[23:52] <paultjuh_> AR45: yes
[23:52] <AR45> paultjuh_: tick it
[23:52] <Lurchtoke> hey again everyone
[23:53] <paultjuh_> all with a checkbox in other software
[23:53] <paultjuh_> those are the ones wihich I uncommented in nano
[23:53] <AR45> I just want you to check installable from CD ROM/DVD
[23:53] <Lurchtoke> I cant seem to setup my SSD drive to install grub for some reason
[23:53] <AR45> paultjuh_: The rest I don't care about leave them as is
[23:54] <Lurchtoke> keep getting fatal error
[23:54] <paultjuh_> AR45: they were already checked
[23:55] <Lurchtoke> I am installing from USB that I setup using unetbootin
[23:55] <AR45> paultjuh_: Okay good do an apt-get update
[23:55] <AR45> paultjuh_: Then an bcmwl-kernel-source
[23:55] <AR45> paultjuh_: Then an apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[23:56] <paultjuh_> AR45: the apt-get update ignores all the cdrom ones
[23:56] <AR45> That's okay.
[23:57] <paultjuh_> AR45: ok it asks for the drive
[23:57] <paultjuh_> so I have to mount it in the asked directory I guess
[23:57] <Lurchtoke> what method should I use to partition my drive?
[23:57] <AR45> What do you mean it asks for the drive?
[23:58] <paultjuh_> AR45: Media change: pleaser insert the disc labelled...
[23:58] <AR45> paultjuh_:
[23:58] <AR45> Okay whatever that's too boring
[23:59] <AR45> paultjuh_: Whatever your usb drive is called
[23:59] <AR45> paultjuh_: cd into this directory on it
[23:59] <AR45> pool/main/d/dkms
[23:59] <paultjuh_> AR45: I mounted it in the asked location (/media/cdrom)
[23:59] <paultjuh_> but it keeps asking
[23:59] <paultjuh_> ok
[23:59] <AR45> then sudo dpkg -i dkms*
