Which means you, for instance, are no longer in the admin group.
[00:01] <reisio> it's possible, but not really a reason to use adduser, IMO
[00:01] <reisio> useradd is standard across distros
[00:01] <Flannel> collizion: It happens in here ALL the time.  So please, educate yourself before calling something FUD.
[00:05] <funta> Flannel: if I want to replicate ubuntu server setup to say another 20 machines whats the best software to use?
[00:05] <funta> say I installed a bunch of stuff and I want to replicate
[00:06] <koell> funta: dpkg --get-selections
[00:06] <funta> what will that do?
[00:06] <funta> I heard some use stuff called Chef?
[00:06] <koell> puppet
[00:06] <koell> :D
[00:08] <funta> oki
[00:09] <tafa2> anyone having trouble with ufw on fresh ubuntu installs? Its failing to load, complaning about modprobe using an unaltered version of ubuntu server 14...?
[00:09] <funta> and generally why its not recommended to use apt-get with root?
[00:09] <funta> some apps can then access root privileges?
[00:10] <koell> funta: idk why, but chef/puppet is interesting though i dont know what exactly it is used for xD
[00:10] <test_> thx reisio
[00:10] <koell> i guess it is for lazy ppl hahah
[00:10] <funta> :D
[00:22] <funta> I enabled root via passd and now wish to lock it
[00:22] <funta> do i use sudo usermod -p '!' root ?
[00:22] <funta> *passwd
[00:23] <blackangelpr> funta, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[00:23] <blackangelpr> scroll down
[00:25] <funta> ty
[00:25] <funta> sudo passwd -dl root ? :D
[00:26] <funta> works ty
[00:28] <krasnayarsk> Is ubuntu a flexible os? Is it better than Mint?
[00:29] <funta> its nice
[00:29] <reisio> krasnayarsk: mint is based on ubuntu, they're almost exactly the same
[00:29] <k1l> krasnayarsk: yes
[00:29] <funta> easy to learn
[00:29] <k1l> (since you ask that in a ubuntu channel :) )
[00:29] <blackangelpr> krasnayarsk, you can try the live cd and see if it works for you  ... while i hope it does if not you can try a official derivate
[00:29] <krasnayarsk> Sounds good. I'll try it. Thnx.
[00:30] <blackangelpr> krasnayarsk, peace :)
[00:30] <samthewildone> Question my ubuntu friends... is it possible to output the cache from apt-get in text file with a command that works ? " cat sudo apt-cache search qmake  > /home/samthewildone/Desktop/output.txt" does not.
[00:31] <samthewildone> I want to be able to forward the output to a file, does the command have to be in " " for it work or ... no ?
[00:31] <funta> blackangelpr: how does hosting providers console access works when user forgets his pass? 1 more root somewhere?
[00:31] <funta> wonders
[00:31] <funta> of say OS reinstall
[00:31] <k1l> samthewildone: the cat is too much
[00:32] <samthewildone> k1l, guide me my Great Master
[00:32] <somsip> samthewildone: apt-cache search qmake > myfile.txt works fine
[00:32] <samthewildone> I'd figure it was something along the lines...
[00:32] <samthewildone> somsip, as sudo -s right ?
[00:32] <somsip> samthewildone: no need for apt-cache
[00:32] <samthewildone> ah yes
[00:32] <k1l> samthewildone: "sudo apt-cache search qmake  > qmaketestfile"  that will make a qmaketestfile in your home.
[00:32] <samthewildone> assumed
[00:32] <blackangelpr> funta, i have no idea honestly at all XD
[00:33] <funta> oki :D
[00:33] <k1l> samthewildone: the standard path, when you open your terminal is your /home/user folder
[00:34] <samthewildone> so when do I really use the "cat" command ?
[00:34] <somsip> samthewildone: when you want to view the contents of a file. Usually text
[00:34] <samthewildone> I guess ..."man cat" will explain
[00:34] <samthewildone> ah ok
[00:34] <k1l> samthewildone: to get a file to be printed onto the screen
[00:35] <samthewildone> like /var/log/*.log
[00:35] <k1l> well, "man command" will always explain :)
[00:35] <somsip> samthewildone: less might be better for larger files
[00:35] <k1l> and if you dont know about man, do man man :)
[00:35]  * samthewildone smilies and exploits the cat command
[00:35] <samthewildone> somsip, example please ?
[00:36] <samthewildone> cat /var/log/*.log > ~/Desktop/ex.txt | less ?
[00:36] <somsip> samthewildone: less filename.log
[00:36] <k1l> samthewildone: less lets you scroll. cat just blasts everything into the terminal
[00:36] <samthewildone> not sure I follow somsip
[00:37] <k1l> so if its a log with<PHONE_NUMBER>8265826525 lines, you might just see the last 1000 since that is what your terminal will buffer for you.
[00:37] <samthewildone> how would I write that in term ?
[00:37] <somsip> samthewildone: I don't how more simple it can be. less /path/to/file
[00:37] <samthewildone> does the "less" macro come before the file output ?
[00:37] <k1l> samthewildone: ok, for putting stuff into another file you use cat. less is for "reading on the terminal"
[00:37] <TTN> just try it yourself, read the manual
[00:38] <TTN> play around
[00:38] <samthewildone> TTN, I can't read
[00:38] <samthewildone> TTN, I'm from krypton
[00:38] <samthewildone> :}
[00:38] <somsip> samthewildone: yeah, I remember why I ignored you before now.
[00:38] <samthewildone> lol
[00:38] <samthewildone> somsip, for real though, just use less from the beginning ?
[00:39] <TTN> lol what does that even mean.
[00:39] <TTN> I hope you're kidding
[00:39] <samthewildone> let me try
[00:39] <k1l> samthewildone: did you read what i wrote?
[00:40] <squinty> samthewildone:  when to use one over the other depends on circumstances... good way to find out what those various circumstances entail is to experiment
[00:41] <samthewildone> k1l, For real though, can you post an real example ? I'm getting an error ?
[00:42] <k1l> no. you post where you get an error and we can make that work
[00:42] <samthewildone> samthewildone@Olympian:~/Desktop$ cat /var/log/syslog > less ~/Desktop/syslog
[00:42] <samthewildone> cat: /home/samthewildone/Desktop/syslog: No such file or directory
[00:42] <rww> use | instead of >
[00:42] <k1l> and no need to use cat first and then less
[00:42] <rww> and remove the ~/Desktop/syslog bit
[00:43] <k1l> or that. but i thought he wanted to print that into another file (which would be kind of silly because syslog is already a file)
[00:44] <rww> sure, but then we started wandering into less territory for some reason
[00:44]  * rww shrugs
[00:45] <samthewildone> sudo /var/log/syslog | less ?
[00:46] <rww> samthewildone: what are you actually trying to do
[00:46] <ndamba> hi bro
[00:46] <Osgood> Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I format my drive on intalling ubuntu?
[00:46] <samthewildone> I want to print syslog to my desktop
[00:46] <k1l> samthewildone: no.
[00:46] <rww> samthewildone: what does "to my desktop" mean
[00:46] <samthewildone> Post syslog to a file on my desktop.
[00:46] <samthewildone> but, not the whole syslog just a couple of lines
[00:46] <sydney> Osgood: You want to do what? Format your flashdrive to fat32 again?
[00:47] <k1l> samthewildone: first: you dont need to print it to desktop. syslog is in /var/log, if you need it use it from there
[00:47] <rww> samthewildone: the most recent or least recent? how many?
[00:47] <Netham45> sudo cat /var/log/syslog | tail > ~/Desktop/syslog
[00:47] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[00:47] <samthewildone> rww, about 100 is good enough
[00:47] <squinty> Osgood: gparted before or during the installation process itself
[00:47] <Umeaboy> Is /var/run/dbus supposed to be in a Ubuntu rootfs tarball?
[00:47] <Netham45> tail has a parameter to specify the # of lines.
[00:47] <samthewildone> Netham45, thanks !
[00:47] <rww> samthewildone: sudo tail -n 100 /var/log/syslog | tee -a ~/Desktop/syslog
[00:47] <HeadlessTracer> hello everyone, I'm having trouble getting unity web apps to work in 12.04, i've installed unity-webapps from ppa:webapps/preview (unity-webapps-preview gives package errors). however, theres basically no sign of integration options in chromium or firefox. am I missing something?
[00:48] <Osgood> Not a flash drive my hard drive for my laptop so i can reintall windows. So I need to do NSFT.
[00:48] <rww> s/-a //
[00:48] <samthewildone> thanks guys
[00:48] <Osgood> Ah gpart, thank you I'll try that.
[00:49] <TTN> osgood, do you have a liveusb? boot it up and use gparted to format it
[00:49] <ndamba> with what command I can use compiz cube?
[00:49] <samthewildone> did somsip really mute me ?  :P
[00:50] <TTN> and they're trying to help, genuinely.
[00:51] <samthewildone> TTN, come on man... I didn't know how to correctly use cat
[00:51] <samthewildone> sorry
[00:51] <rww> perhaps consult its manpage, then
[00:51] <Osgood> What happened is I have a dell laptop..I know I know, though it was a gift. I put Ubunut on it since I like it more though I need to put windows on it for something. Dell onlny sends recovery USB's now not a CD. So I think the issue is that it that I don't have my drive set to one windows knows.
[00:52] <dan64> I noticed that wine was mysteriously removed from my computer. I just used it a few days ago, but it wasn't there today. I see in the /var/log/apt/history.log log that it was in fact removed a few days ago. As far as I can tell, it got removed when I updated the video card drivers (based on the packages that were installed). I did update the video drivers using the driver utility in Ubuntu (software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4). Any idea wine would be removed
[00:52] <dan64>  when installing drivers? From the logs, aptdaemon was the program responsible for intalling the drivers and removing wine.
[00:52] <TTN> lol ok. I thought you said you were kidding all along and knew how to already .sorry
[00:52] <blackangelpr> Osgood, if it came with windows 8 the key its embeeded on the board just need to find a good iso for 8 and wala but also you can virtualize windows
[00:53] <daftykins> this is not a windows support channel.
[00:53] <Osgood> I Hmm, I could do that.
[00:54] <blackangelpr> Osgood, good luck
[00:54] <Osgood> Or, do you know a headset and mic that Ubuntu lies?
[00:54] <Osgood> likes?
[00:54] <blackangelpr> Osgood, most works you just need to go to sound settings and change the default sometimes
[00:54] <lapion> Hello, I am having a problem with linux-acpi sensors, my temp5 sensor is actually supposed to be FAN RPM sensor
[00:54] <Osgood> My issue is I can get Skype to work, though I can't get the microphone to work.
[00:54] <dan64> Regarding my last comment, removing wine may have had nothing to do with installing the drivers. I suppose I may have installed wine as a consequence of installing some other package, and if that was removed at some point, I suppose apt may have just been doing an autoremove. Anyhow, it's now installed again and working. If anyone has any insight as to why this may have happened, please let me know.
[00:56] <lapion> and my fan speed settings shows up as 4 separate fans
[00:56] <squinty> samthewildone:  lots of stuff like this http://linuxfrombeginning.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/linux/   by googling  :)
[00:58] <Osgood> It's odd I'm in the soud settingings, I can see the microphone register, though when I am on Skyoe no one can hear me and I can't heat them.
[00:59] <T1960CT> Hello, booting lubuntu always takes a while on my computer cause it seems to do the Grub timeout even though there is no Grub to show cause it's the only OS on the laptop, I've tried tinkering with the Grub file and it doesnt really change much. I hit the enter key in what I suspect is the Grub and it gave me a weird blinking line at the top left o
[00:59] <T1960CT> f my screen then Lubuntu booted with a baby blue background. Any ideas on how to remove the approximately 10 second wait time before it actually boots?
[01:00] <blackangelpr> Osgood, try skype settings to see if it sees the head set as default
[01:00] <DoverMo> T1960CT: do you have vt-d intel enabled?
[01:00] <squinty> T1960CT:  fwiw if you change the grub config you also have to run update-grub to initiate those changes.
[01:01] <Osgood> I'll boot it up now.
[01:01] <T1960CT> DoverMo: How can I check that?
[01:01] <Osgood> Man I  hope it's a silly fix like that.
[01:01] <T1960CT> squinty: Yeah I know that, I do after every change
[01:01] <apb1963> I can't get sound on 14.04 ... any ideas?
[01:01] <blackangelpr> Osgood, skype got bought by you know who XD
[01:01] <DoverMo> T1960CT: it's a bios option
[01:01] <apb1963> some details about my audio setup:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/8451812/
[01:02] <Osgood> Yep, hence crawiling back to windows...damn
[01:02] <squinty> T1960CT:  it helps if you include such basic information in your initial enquiry then,.  :)
[01:04] <T1960CT> I cant even find VT-d in my BIOS so I guess not
[01:04] <DoverMo> T1960CT: it would be a virtualization settings, and only for intel chipsets
[01:04] <blackangelpr> Osgood, http://askubuntu.com/questions/505810/ubuntu-14-04-1-lts-problem-with-skype   scroll to the last question
[01:05] <Osgood> Awesome thank you
[01:05] <T1960CT> I only see "Intel Virtualization Technology [enabled] " in terms of Virtuals
[01:06] <daftykins> T1960CT: it's a CPU feature, sure it supports it?
[01:08] <T1960CT> Does not support it. "Intel Celeron Dual-Core N2830" is the CPU I have.
[01:09] <DoverMo> T1960CT: that first feature is safe
[01:10] <pacoS> hi I installed openVPN and run it with a few VPN's servers but my wireless stop working I untinstall openVPN but still I have not been able to connect via wireless does anyone know what settings I should look at?
[01:12] <DoverMo> T1960CT: that virtualization options is completely safe, so that won't be the lag problem.
[01:13] <T1960CT> Ok, the only other thing I can think of is the fact that it has 2 options for "OS Selection" and they are Windows 7 or 8, I have it set to 7
[01:15] <lucas_> hello
[01:16] <hmw> lucas_: hello. How can we help you?
[01:17] <lucas_> i am not sure i just wanted to say hi lol
[01:17] <lucas_> I just installed Ubuntu so i could play a game on steam 14.04 has some cool features
[01:17] <SchrodingersScat> lucas_: can try #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:17] <DoverMo> lucas_ much cool!
[01:20] <pacoS> hi I installed openVPN and run it with a few VPN's servers but my wireless stop working I untinstall openVPN but still I have not been able to connect via wireless does anyone know what settings I should look at?
[01:23] <hmw> I installed the MATE Desktop and i see the window icon again (Top left, clicking on it shows the menu one gets by pressing ALT+SPACE). Once I issue "compiz --replace" that icon disappears. I tried to search the web for a solution without luck so far. Do you perhaps know, how I can get Compiz AND my lovely window icon?
[01:25] <DoverMo> hmw: i don't know. mate might need to be configured for it, as fedora has a spin that specifically is configured with mate and compiz
[01:25] <DoverMo> hmw: which means it can work. just not sure
[01:25] <DoverMo> howa
[01:25] <hmw> Also, I tried to "unload" Compiz with "metacity --replace" but it isn't installed. What do I have to load in order to stop Compiz?
[01:26] <DoverMo> hmw: why metacity
[01:27] <hmw> DoverMo: that's what I had to do in Ubuntu 12 in order to get rid of Compiz.
[01:27] <DoverMo> oh
[01:27] <hmw> When I kill it, I am left without any window decorations, of course
[01:27] <Ben64> i don't think mate and compiz work well together
[01:28] <hmw> Ben64: They sort of do in my case. No big issues in 3 days at least.
[01:28] <Ben64> aren't you here because of an issue with it
[01:28] <hmw> Well... I want that "evil" icon, everyone seems to be trying to get rid of.
[01:29] <hmw> It wasn't easy to get it back in Mate without Compiz.
[01:30] <DoverMo> those evil arrow things
[01:30] <hmw> I usually tweak .themes/c2/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml for that icon, as also for the order of Minimize, Maximize icons. But for some reason Ubuntu 14's Compiz appears to have no Metacity built in anymore or something.
[01:30] <pedrommone> hello, can someone help me with bumblebee? Im getting a no screens found when trying to optirun anything
[01:31] <hmw> Anyhow, thanks for your time. You could just have known it per chance. I'll figure it out eventually :)
[01:33] <Ben64> hmw: no... mate and compiz don't work together
[01:33] <DoverMo> right. well fedora had to do some tweaking to get it to work
[01:33] <hmw> Ben64: What do you mean by that? I use MATE and Compiz. I see all the effects, the cube and so on.
[01:33] <Ben64> and compiz never has metacity built in
[01:35] <hmw> Ben64: I used to "undo" compiz --replace by issuing metacity --replace. I would like to know, how to stop Compiz nowadays. I tried "gtk-window-decorator" but it doesn't unload Compiz.
[01:35] <Ben64> lots of people saying mate 1.6 doesn't work well with compiz
[01:35] <hmw> Ben64: I see.
[01:35] <pedrommone> none know about bumblebee? :/
[01:36] <Ben64> pedrommone: i don't think bumblebee is really used anymore, since nvidia-prime
[01:36] <pedrommone> well, never known about nvidia-prime
[01:36] <pedrommone> it replaces bumblebee?
[01:36] <Ben64> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics
[01:36] <daftykins> i don't think prime is... that ready for prime time. performance in different tasks varies, so use what works best
[01:36] <Ben64> see if that works for you
[01:37] <pedrommone> well, im trying to use my HDMI on my xps 502lx
[01:37] <hmw> Ben64: I think gtk-window-decorator --replace actually should remove Compiz. Looks like I just found one instance of "not working good".
[01:37] <shurtagul> How do I update 2.8.10 to the newest version in ubuntu?
[01:37] <shurtagul> gimp*
[01:38] <daftykins> !newest
[01:38] <Ben64> shurtagul: 2.8.10 is the latest in the repositories
[01:38] <DoverMo> shurtagul: +1 Ben64
[01:38] <shurtagul> I know, I want to install 2.8.14
[01:39] <Ben64> then go for it, but you're on your own with that
[01:40] <DoverMo> shurtagul: so far, only debian unstable has an actual package of that. You will have to either use a PPA, cuz there should be like a 2.9/2.10 ppa, or just compile it yourself
[01:40] <shurtagul> I think I found it. They must not have an installer yet, just a tarball.
[01:50] <pacoS> hi I installed openVPN and run it with a few VPN's servers but my wireless stop working I untinstall openVPN but still I have not been able to connect via wireless does anyone know what settings I should look at?
[01:52] <and-> My brightness control is not working in ubuntu... can anyone plz tell how to fix it?
[02:00] <pacoS> how can I set my system ready to receive ssh connections?
[02:02] <HoNgOuRu> Hi, I installed 14.04 and lost the grub menu, after uncomenting the timeout line I can see it when the pc restarts... but I've lost the Windows entries, I Fixed them with the win rescue disk, by rewritting the MBR, after that I reinstalled grub from a live cd doing a chroot, but win entries are gone again.... how do I make grub detect the win entries?
[02:02] <somsip> !info openssl-server | pacoS (install and config this)
[02:02] <somsip> !info openssh-server | pacoS (install and config this)
[02:03] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: pastebin your sudo lsblk -f, and the output of grub-mkconfig (or grub2-mkconfig)
[02:03] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, ok, in 1 minute...
[02:06] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, thank you... here it is... http://pastebin.com/8mGtxvWd
[02:07] <HoNgOuRu> reisio btw, the -f option didn't do anything
[02:07] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: with sudo?
[02:08] <HoNgOuRu> yeap... both with sudo
[02:08] <reisio> that is odd
[02:08] <dualbootubuntu> I have ubuntu 12.10 running, I want to install 14.04 on a second hard drive, usb boot and cdrom boot are not options. Is it possible to install 14.04 onto that second hard drive from within 12.10 and make that drive bootable so that I can just change the cabling/bios etc and have that drive boot up into 14.04?
[02:08] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: how about sudo blkid
[02:09] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: oh you have lsblk, nevermind
[02:09] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, did you go to the pastebind ?
[02:09] <HoNgOuRu> yeah..
[02:10] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: so do you know which partition is windows?
[02:10] <HoNgOuRu> I have the disk partitioned in 4 primaries
[02:12] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: uhuh...
[02:12] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, I used to have it like this... 3 of windows... 1 for blowing it up with all kinds of sh** the other for games, and the third for programming, with vs... then I have another partition for ubuntu, that I use most of the time
[02:13] <Bashing-om> reisio: :: HoNgOuRu // It is odd that 30_os-prober does not see the Windows install .. is 30_os-prober disabled in /etc/grub/d ???
[02:13] <HoNgOuRu> I need grub to find the windows entry point... and place it on the menu, or Ill do it by hand, I don't care
[02:13] <Bashing-om> /etc/grub.d **
[02:15] <HoNgOuRu> Bashing-om,  30_os-prober is showing under /etc/grub.d/
[02:15] <HoNgOuRu> Bashing-om, how do I check if its desabled?
[02:15] <Bashing-om> HoNgOuRu: the execute permissions enabled ?
[02:16] <HoNgOuRu> oh...
[02:16] <HoNgOuRu> Bashing-om, rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11692 may 15 16:02 /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
[02:17] <reisio> Bashing-om: like :: who // knows
[02:17] <Bashing-om> HoNgOuRu: Yepper, disabled ..
[02:17] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: need to know which partition windows is on to tell grub to boot it
[02:18] <HoNgOuRu> it says rwxr-xr-x
[02:18] <HoNgOuRu> so?
[02:19] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, ok, give me a sec
[02:19] <HoNgOuRu> reisio
[02:19] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, sda2 sda3 sda4
[02:20] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: which is "C:"?
[02:21] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, good question
[02:21] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, lol... don't that...
[02:22] <Bashing-om> HoNgOuRu: Sorry, you are correct, the permissions are correct.. (tunnel vision on my part ?).
[02:22] <HoNgOuRu> Bashing-om, lol
[02:23] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: don't do what?
[02:23] <pacoS> how can I enable my system for accepting ssh connections?
[02:24] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, sorry I meant don't know that...
[02:24] <Artemis3> pacoS, install ssh :3
[02:24] <SchrodingersScat> !info openssh-server | pacoS
[02:24] <HoNgOuRu> pacoS, install ssh as simple as that
[02:25] <HoNgOuRu> pacoS,  and from a client type "ssh IP"
[02:25] <pacoS> SchrodingersScat, I installed openssh-server would it require any further configuration for simple basic ssh connctions?
[02:25] <TiCPU>  ubottu, the correct nomenclature should be !command argument > destination, not pipe!
[02:26] <SchrodingersScat> pacoS: should be able to use a command like: ssh username@remoteip  using a username that's on the machine
[02:26] <b3nw> trying to upgrade a server from 13.04 -> 14.04 or even 13.10 then 14.04 lts, but keeps saying no release found, suggestions? http://pastebin.com/C2bdE0xA
[02:27] <bubbasaures> b3nw, You have to modify the sources.list there is a eol upgrade.
[02:27] <bubbasaures> !eol | b3nw
[02:27] <b3nw> ty
[02:29] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: well what is C:'s capacity?
[02:29] <SchrodingersScat> pacoS: configuration is up to you, some people install fail2ban to block failed attempts of login, others use keys only, etc. but you should be able to login with the default.
[02:29] <bubbasaures> b3nw, That is upgrading one release at a time, can have it's issues, be backed up.
[02:30] <b3nw> should I go 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04, or 13.04 -> 14.04 ?
[02:30] <pacoS> clients what range of ports use on ssh connections?
[02:30] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, I'm not sure... mmm maybe if I mount them and check at the shortcuts in the desktops.... what do you think ?
[02:30] <bubbasaures> b3nw, I would fresh install 14.04 myself, it has 5 years support.
[02:31] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, that  should work
[02:31] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, I am brilliant
[02:31] <b3nw> bubbasaures: and if *had* to upgrade, is either path better per say?
[02:31] <bubbasaures> b3nw, eol upgrades don't jump releases, you have to go one by one or fresh install.
[02:32] <pacoS> what port range uses the clients for ssh connections?? does any one knows?
[02:32] <b3nw> thanks, I'll prob see if I can salvage via upgrade, else will spin a new vm.
[02:33] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: heheh
[02:33] <somsip> pacoS: 22
[02:34] <pacoS> that us server somsip no the client
[02:36] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, YEAH! I am a hacker... "/dev/sda2"
[02:40] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, should I make an entry by hand and then run update-grub ?
[02:41] <Netham45> I'm running '3.13.0-32-generic'. If I do an 'apt-get source linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic' it instead decides to download a different kernel.
[02:41] <Netham45> "Picking 'linux' as source package instead of 'linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic'
[02:41] <Netham45> "
[02:42] <Netham45> I don't want the default 'linux' package, I want the one I explicitly selected. How do I get it to download that?
[02:42] <puffie> so, I added three very vanilla lines to /etc/network/interfaces to set up wlan0. I removed that afterward once I had the network working otherwise. However, now whenever I boot I get this error: http://askubuntu.com/questions/262301/is-dnsmasq-not-loading-because-of-a-network-manager-conflict   The perplexing part, though, is that I only have dnsmasq-base installed (checked with dpkg)
[02:42] <pacoS> SchrodingersScat, how can I set up the password of the server?
[02:42] <puffie> so, /etc/network/interfaces is back to the default, but each time I reboot I get that error and the corresponding problem alert box. if nothing else, it's annoying.
[02:43] <SchrodingersScat> pacoS: your username and credentials that you use on the machine should work on the server
[02:43] <pacoS> SchrodingersScat, oh ok got it
[02:43] <pacoS> thanks
[02:43] <SchrodingersScat> passwd if you want to change the password
[02:44] <bahax> command line on tty1 to 6 is not working, it used to give me nothing but now it's giving me errors, help please
[02:44] <SchrodingersScat> pacoS: welcome, enjoy
[02:45] <bahax> I used to get only plinking underscore on command line tty but now I get error massages!
[02:45] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: you can make an entry by hand, yup
[02:45] <bahax> I tried lots of things last one was echo ^v^o > /dev/tty1 but didn't work
[02:46] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, im looking at a howto right now.... by editing the 40_custom script
[02:47] <reisio> HoNgOuRu: that's the ticket
[02:48] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, yeah... just don't know why os-probe cant find them
[02:48]  * reisio shrugs
[02:48] <reisio> I've never used os-prober
[02:48] <reisio> why guess when you know where it is
[02:48] <reisio> also, apparently it doesn't work :p
[02:48] <HoNgOuRu> yes...
[02:50] <OptimizedCoder> All of a sudden, my ethernet wired connection interface doesn't show up at all
[02:50] <Kazaii> Obscure question for you gents and ladies: Do you guys know if Ubuntu Touch will still contain the Full OS upon dock? I know they cancelled Ubuntu for Android, but now the RTM is released and I can't seem to find this detail
[02:50] <somsip> !touch | Kazaii
[02:51] <Kazaii> Thanks, somsip
[02:53] <Kazaii> I can't seem to find the answer. Oh well
[02:55] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, ok I created an entry... rebooting...
[02:56] <HoNgOuRu> reisio, I'll tell you how it went
[02:56] <puffie> so, I added three very vanilla lines to /etc/network/interfaces to set up wlan0. I removed that afterward once I had the network working otherwise. However, now whenever I boot I get this error: http://askubuntu.com/questions/262301/is-dnsmasq-not-loading-because-of-a-network-manager-conflict   The perplexing part, though, is that I only have dnsmasq-base installed (checked with dpkg)

[02:58] <amicrawler> i can get my wd my book to mount to desktop
[02:59] <amicrawler> 3TB was working yesterday
[02:59] <amicrawler> will not auto mount
[02:59] <amicrawler> any ideas
[03:01] <amicrawler> can any body help  me plez
[03:03] <KamikazeA> What's the problem?
[03:03] <amicrawler> mybook 3tb will not mount to desktop
[03:03] <amicrawler> can see it in the shell
[03:04] <amicrawler> my other drives show up
[03:04] <amicrawler> on desktop
[03:04] <KamikazeA> Is it showing an error message?
[03:04] <archerbassam> Can you see it in file manager
[03:05] <amicrawler> no not more more
[03:05] <amicrawler> i reformat as fat32
[03:06] <archerbassam> try umount and mount.again
[03:15] <nishantjr_> The dropbox package install seems to hangup after downloading. I was forced to `pkill dpkg`. How should I remove the partially installed packge?
[03:19] <archerbassam> man apt
[03:20] <archerbassam> apt-get autoremove
[03:20] <rwp> nishantjr_, apt-get purge packagename
[03:20] <rwp> nishantjr_, If that doesn't work then say what error is given.
[03:20] <yurezkie> gh
[03:21] <rwp> nishantjr_, Dropbox being a non-distro package may have bugs and may need special editing help of the package postrm file to work.
[03:21] <yurezkie> пр
[03:21] <nishantjr_> @rwp
[03:21] <nishantjr_> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:21] <nishantjr_> Fair enough,.... but I can't install anything else
[03:21] <yurezkie> нет
[03:21] <yurezkie> ни понят
[03:21] <somsip> !ru | ysboychakov
[03:22] <archerbassam> I am wondering if autoremove can get this done
[03:22] <rwp> nishantjr_, What does it say if you run "dpkg --configure -a'?
[03:23] <nishantjr_> It's broken apt for me... any command I run tell me to configure, and when I configure, the dropbox post install hangs
[03:23] <rwp> That triggers dpkg to run the package configuration scripts again.
[03:23] <rwp> Then I would try removing it.  apt-get purge packagename
[03:23] <nishantjr_> Purge gives the same error message
[03:24] <nishantjr_> From reading the dpkg man page, I figured that dselect might help, but I don't have it installed'
[03:24] <rwp> dpkg is the lowest level.  dselect and apt-get are layers above dpkg.
[03:24] <nishantjr_> Package: nautilus-dropbox
[03:25] <nishantjr_> Status: install ok half-configured
[03:25] <rwp> Basically dpkg should be okay within itself.  But it runs the package scripts. If those error then that causes overall error as you see.
[03:25] <nishantjr_> Ok
[03:25] <rwp> If you can't go forward and you can't go back then it will be because the package scripts produce errors.
[03:25] <rwp> In that case you need to manually force the package scripts not to cause errors.  Then purge.
[03:26] <rwp> To manually force package scripts not to error manually edit the scripts and add an "exit 0" line at the top so that they simply exit doing nothing.
[03:26] <nishantjr_> OK... Could I manually edit the upgrade script somehow? Or are hashes checked?
[03:26] <rwp> The scripts are stored at /var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.postinst and other packagename.* names.
[03:27] <rwp> You can manually edit those scripts as a workaround. They are not special. There is no check sum.
[03:27] <nishantjr_> Great, that worked rwp
[03:27] <nishantjr_> Thanks a lot
[03:27] <rwp> To avoid problems during a rmeove or purge you will need to hack the packagename.postrm and/or packagename.prerm to exit without error.
[03:27] <rwp> Good deal!
[03:29] <dalekusa> I am having problems installing from a live DVD, and it may be my drive's fault.
[03:29] <nishantjr_> Something seems wrong though:
[03:29] <nishantjr_> Status: install ok installed
[03:29] <nishantjr_> $ sudo apt-get purge dropbox-nautilus
[03:29] <nishantjr_> E: Unable to locate package dropbox-nautilus
[03:30] <dalekusa> I can boot into the first menu easiily, but it then goes to a black screen.
[03:30] <rwp> Try this: dpkg -l | grep dropbox
[03:30] <rwp> What is returned?
[03:30] <rwp> Sounds like it was removed/purged okay.
[03:30] <dalekusa> !help
[03:30] <nishantjr_> ii  nautilus-dropbox                            0.7.1-2
[03:31] <dalekusa> !patience
[03:31] <rwp> dalekusa, I have no idea. But sounds like the graphics installer is not happy. You might try the alternate install interface. It is text based.
[03:31] <dalekusa> how?
[03:32] <rwp> dalekusa, This may sound strange but I am just an Ubuntu visitor. I don't know. I would need to do a web search for Ubuntu alternative installer
[03:33] <dalekusa> let me see...
[03:33] <nishantjr_> rwp: Hmmm weird, remove worked where purge did not
[03:34] <nishantjr_> Thanks for the help
[03:34] <rwp> nishantjr_, Does the "dpkg -l" status show as "rc" or "pu"?  rc is removed but config files remain behind. p is purged, no files left.
[03:35] <nishantjr_> mmm... "rc".
[03:35] <rwp> Then it is removed but /etc config files remain for it.
[03:36] <nishantjr_> OK.. I've got etckeeper anyway... so not a problem
[03:36] <rwp> Since you were already in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ ...  If you look in /var/lib/dpkg/info/dropbox-nautilus.list it will show the files remaining behind.
[03:36] <dalekusa> I have Linux Mint, could I install it from there, or will I require a disk?
[03:36] <NigelThornsberry> #OSXisbetterthanlinux
[03:36] <rwp> Doing a "dpkg --purge dropbox-nautilus" will completely remove all files.
[03:37] <rwp> That should get dpkg happy.  Which should get apt-get happy.
[03:37] <rwp> At that point you can decide if you want to try again with the same package. Debug the package. Try a different package. Or other decision.

[03:39] <nahtnam> Hello! I downloaded this bash script: https://github.com/jomo/imgur-screenshot and I want to bind it to ctrl+shift+1. I am in the keyboard shortcut settings but im not sure what to put in the command section
[03:40] <nishantjr_> rwp: dpkg purge says not installed, the list file was empty... by packages seem to be installing again... I'll use etckeeper to clean up anything left over in /etc manually
[03:40] <nahtnam> NVM I got it! :)
[03:40] <rwp> nishantjr_, Sounds good.
[03:41] <NigelThornsberry> quit
[03:43] <rwp> nahtnam, Probably put the script in your $HOME/bin directory. Then put that path in the command section. Just a guess.
[03:43] <nahtnam> rwp Yeah. I had put ~/...... I replaced it with the full path: /home/nahtnam/.....
[03:43] <nahtnam> and it worked
[03:43] <rwp> nahtnam, Make sure to chmod the script to be executable. chmod a+x ~/bin/imgur-screenshot
[03:43] <rwp> nahtnam, Sounds good.
[03:43] <nahtnam> :)
[03:44] <ph0x> anyone?
[03:46] <ph0x> :(
[03:46] <rwp> ph0x, Not sure of your problem. Your PHP server is serviing the raw file and not processing it?  Is that the problem?
[03:46] <rwp> ph0x, Which web server are you using?
[03:47] <ph0x> im so flusterted and ihave no idea what that even means
[03:47] <ph0x> apache2
[03:47] <ph0x> ii know nothing about php
[03:47] <ph0x> i used this guide
[03:47] <ph0x> https://my.vps6.net/knowledgebase/64/How-to-Install-rTorrentorruTorrent-Seedbox-on-Ubuntu-VPS.html
[03:48] <rwp> Your file says <?php ... ?> so it is a php file.
[03:48] <ph0x> im so lost here, im follow that
[03:48] <ph0x> i just mean in general, if you could really help me id appreciated it
[03:49] <rwp> I looked at the reference you posted. It is using libapache2-mod-scgi which have never heard of. Not sure why it is using that.
[03:49] <rwp> I have always used, (and I think it is the most popular) libapache2-mod-php5
[03:49] <ph0x> is there a simple way to just start over
[03:50] <ph0x> and remove all of that
[03:50] <ph0x> ?
[03:50] <rwp> Yes. Do not despair.
[03:50] <rwp> The guide also shows manual symlinks. That is fine. But there is a helper "a2enmod" and "a2dismod" for helping make those.
[03:51] <ph0x> if youd be willing to set aside time to help me, id be willing to compensate you
[03:51] <ph0x> i know this isnt really an interesting problem
[03:51] <rwp> ph0x, Unfortunately I need to close the laptop and drop out.
[03:51] <ph0x> :(
[03:51] <rwp> ph0x, Someone will be able to help.
[03:52] <ph0x> well the offer applies to anyone
[03:52] <rwp> But do not despair. It will work out.
[03:52] <prometheanfire> I'm making an image for ubuntu (both LTS releases), for openstack.  I need to have it so that it tries to run dhcp on all interfaces
[03:52] <ph0x> im about to reformat the whole thing and start over
[03:52] <rwp> I would remove /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/scgi.load
[03:52] <ph0x> because iv gotten it to work before
[03:52] <rwp> I would apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
[03:53] <ph0x> that guide just sucked
[03:53] <rwp> Then try that and see if the php errors go away.

[06:40] <mharris> narbeh: It's never really save to set perms to 777 on anything.  Nothing needs it (with the exception of things like /tmp et al).  Documentation that suggests using 777 is generally written and endorsed by people who do not understand filesystem permissions and just set them wide open rather than learning. :)
[06:40] <ph0x> is what error.log says
[06:42] <ph0x> anyone?
[06:42] <mharris> narbeh: If a program needs to read files in a directory, then it needs to have read permission of some sort.  That means it either has to be the owner of the file(s)/dir(s) and have read permission on owner, or it needs to be the member of the group that owns the file and has group read.  If given files are not sensitive to sharing read-only across all users/processes, then world read can be set on them also.  The same thing is true with write,
[06:42] <mharris> but the consequences of world write can be dangerous and should generally be avoided.
[06:43] <mharris> If you need finer grained permissions for a given app/user/group of users you can also use POSIX ACLs with the setfacl command.  Hope this helps.
[06:44] <narbeh> mharris: Thank you so much. I won't do that
[06:49] <ph0x> [Sun Sep 28 23:30:12 2014] [error] [client <IP_ADDRESS>] File does not exist: /var/www/rutorrent/plugins/show_peers_like_wtorrent/show_peers_like_wtorrent.css, referer: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/rutorrent/
[06:50] <ph0x> does anyone know how to fi this?
[06:50] <logical_> hey guys, i am  a littlebit newer on linux, is there a way to stream music from my ubuntu to my phone, for example we are on the same wifi and i want to walk around house and do stuff and listen to music but music that is on my pc not on my andorid phone
[06:50] <ph0x> apache?
[06:51] <ph0x> logical_: there is like, 1000 ways to do that
[06:51] <ph0x> the simplist would be into install an http server on the ubuntu pc
[06:51] <ph0x> then just connect to it on the phone
[06:51] <charlesay> hi
[06:51] <Thumpxr> i cant use digital and analog audio output at the same time >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2246186
[06:52] <mharris> logical_: Most modern media player apps have options for streaming audio over a local network.  vlc, xbmc and most other popular apps, just choose one of your preferred ones and check out the documentation or website for info on how to set it up for streaming.  It's pretty easy usually.
[06:53] <ph0x> IIRC vlc says to do what i said to do
[06:53] <logical_> mharris thank you, you too ph0x
[06:53] <ph0x> then use VLC to play it
[06:53] <mharris> You can generally control them over the network with a web UI or other methods too
[06:53] <ph0x> vlc has an open network option
[06:53] <charlesay> the man pages on my ubuntu/gnome box 'went missing' - is it safe to remove and reinstall man-db?
[06:53] <ph0x> *giggles*
[06:54] <ph0x> vlc also has an http interface
[06:54] <ph0x> to do what mharris is saying
[06:54] <charlesay> i would read the man page for it, but.,,
[06:54] <ph0x> you can play it on the ubuntu pc and control it from your phone
[06:54] <ph0x> charlesay: i know right
[06:56] <Szuki> logical_: plex
[06:56] <Szuki> is fine
[06:56] <logical_> pelx is a program?
[06:56] <Szuki> or Serviio
[06:57] <charlesay> when i call on the man page for any program oit says no man entry for foo
[07:09] <helmut_> hi
[07:10] <justgreg> Hey all, when I try to update, I'm getting this error message: "The upgrade needs a total of 60.7 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 40.3 M of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'"
[07:11] <justgreg> I've already run sudo apt-get clean and emptied the trash, as well as rebooting.
[07:11] <charlesay> ubuntu keeps old kernels around
[07:11] <charlesay> so, you have to remove them manually
[07:12] <hateball> justgreg: do an apt-get autoremove also, if you havent already
[07:13] <charlesay> if you go to synaptic (or similar package managers and search for 'linux', you will see the packages associated with old kernels which aren't used anymore
[07:13] <charlesay> you can remove them and just keep the two latest
[07:15] <ph0x> ok i figured it o ut
[07:15] <justgreg> hateball, already did the autoremove, going to look @ synaptic now.
[07:15] <ph0x> that had nothing to do with anything and i fixed it anyway
[07:15] <ph0x> rutorrent is not passing magnet URIs
[07:15] <ph0x> if i download a torrent file it works
[07:15] <ph0x> but the magnet says torrent not passed
[07:16] <ph0x> does anyone know anything about this?
[07:16] <ph0x> it works fine when i manually add it with rtorrent
[07:17] <BQ> i see both upstart process and systemd process are running on my ubuntu
[07:18] <justgreg> charlesay, what should I be removing, exactly?
[07:18] <ph0x> systemd in my ubuntu?
[07:19] <justgreg> 'linux' is giving me 2217 packages, 4019 installed.
[07:19] <BQ> pstree shows me systemd-logind and systemd-udevd
[07:20] <charlesay> i don't have my ubuntu machine in front of me atm, but for each kernel-version there will be a main package, a header package and two more. you can regognise them at the series-nr
[07:20] <charlesay> something like 3.14-37
[07:20] <charlesay> you can remove the packages with lower version numbers (only the highest is used by the system)
[07:22] <charlesay> they all start with linux, so you can scroll there, that should narrow it down
[07:25] <justgreg> charlesay, so just get rid of all the kernel headers that are lower than 3.13.0-36?
[07:26] <charlesay> you can keep 35 as well as a fallback option
[07:26] <justgreg> I was just thinking that.
[07:27] <justgreg> here goes nothing ...
[07:28] <charlesay>  what do you mean (you have to click on apply in synatpic to actually perform the action)
[07:29] <OERIAS> anyway possible to upgrade ubuntu 6.06 to 10.04?
[07:30] <ApplesInArrays1> How would I go about finding a TrueTypeFont on my Ubuntu system?
[07:30] <justgreg> I did all the above, and I'm getting the same error message, right down to amount of space needed.
[07:30] <xangua> !eol OERIAS  fresh install would be faster, also notifce only server packages are supported for 10.04
[07:30] <xangua> !eol
[07:31] <OERIAS> xangua, i can't do a clean install
[07:31] <charlesay> be sure to remove the main kernel packages as well as the headers
[07:33] <justgreg> charlesay, I'm doing that right now.
[07:34] <OERIAS> okay then i'll do 14.04
[07:35] <Bolt_Thrower> Hi all
[07:37] <justgreg> charlesay, that did it. ty, have a great night/day/whatever.
[07:38] <Boscop_> how can i get a printer's DPI with lp or lpstat?
[07:38] <charlesay> you're welcome!
[07:40] <Bolt_Thrower> Anyone try Void loonix yet?
[07:47] <charlesay> any suggestions how my man page entries could have been deleted?
[07:47] <yellowfish> so how do I give access to www-data?
[07:48] <tekkbuzz> hey guys, I just got a major problem. I tried to run a game and it come up the same on both my displays. Then when I got out of it now I have only the same display on both my screens, I rebooted and got the same thing. I went to System Settings > Display Config. and now it only show one monitor, Any suggestions.

[08:08] <abaday> How do I do to get make not to read $ as a variable?
[08:09] <Spark> you escale it
[08:09] <Spark> escape it
[08:09] <Spark> echo "\$"
[08:09] <Spark> or use the '$' single quotes
[08:09] <abaday> echo 'echo "LIST_OF_GROUPS="$G"" >> $RANCID/etc/rancid.conf' >> rancid.sh
[08:09] <abaday> I escape it and it works if I jsut ype this in the terminal
[08:09] <abaday> but when make runs this line it doesn't escape
[08:10] <Spark> you don't need to end the " before using the variable
[08:10] <abaday> 'echo "LIST_OF_GROUPS="$G"" >> $RANCID/etc/rancid.conf' #this is the output i want
[08:10] <abaday> so i do
[08:10] <abaday> echo 'echo "LIST_OF_GROUPS="$\G\"" >> $RANCID/etc/rancid.conf' >> rancid.sh
[08:10] <Spark> surely you want  'echo "LIST_OF_GROUPS=$G" >> $RANCID/etc/rancid.conf'
[08:11] <abaday> spark I wantGROUPS="$G"
[08:11] <Spark> then you need to quote hte "
[08:11] <abaday> as G will be "group1 group2 group3"
[08:11] <Spark> otherwise you're jsu tending the quote before LIST

[08:33] <chosig> Good day y'all. Is it possible to connect Rhythmbox to an MPD server, or do I need a specific client for it?
[08:34] <cynicallemon> chosig: sonata for gui client
[08:35] <alket> hi , why doesn't my wireless show in network manager: lsusb: 04f3:0234 Elan Microelectronics Corp
[08:35] <chosig> cynicallemon: righty, thanks
[08:35] <cynicallemon> chosig: or ncmpcpp for cli client
[08:39] <chosig> cynicallemon: you can't connect from rhythm box do mpd?
[08:41] <cynicallemon> chosig: not that im aware
[08:42] <chosig> cynicallemon: righty, thought since sonata hasn't been updated since 2009 and there seem to be a general lack of interest in the gui's... i'll go with terminal as usual :)
[08:44] <cynicallemon> chosig: its a bit like that :)
[08:49] <johncarper> in order to make people login into like for example your voice server on like a domain name, you need to make from your domain a dns right?

[09:00] <rwsq1> why is there yet another bash update?
[09:00] <somsip> rwsq1: because the last one didn't fix the prblem
[09:00] <rwsq1> so we're onto update 3?
[09:01]  * rwsq1 is starting to lose my sense of humour
[09:01] <somsip> rwsq1: update 1.4 for 14.04
[09:01] <vitimiti> Hi
[09:01] <rwsq1> I don't see any info about this one
[09:01] <somsip> rwsq1: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2364-1/
[09:02] <ToTheInternet> i keep doing '/etc/init.d/mysql stop' but a new mysqld process immediatly starts again. what might cause this and how can i prevent it? also, 'su mysql' doesn't work for some reason (as root)
[09:02] <rwsq1> "In addition, this update introduces a hardening measure which adds prefixes
[09:02] <rwsq1> and suffixes around environment variable names which contain shell
[09:02] <rwsq1> functions."
[09:03] <rwsq1> it seems that this one can wait for a convenient moment maybe
[09:03] <somsip> ToTheInternet: sudo service stop. Check error logs. No real need to act as mysql user
[09:04] <somsip> rwsq1: up to you. It is a security release.
[09:04] <ToTheInternet> somsip: thanks. what about the /etc/init.d scripts, shouldnt they work as well?
[09:04] <rwsq1> somsip - yeah I might as well do it (*40)
[09:05] <somsip> ToTheInternet: dunno. I use the upstart approach - sudo service etc...
[09:05] <ToTheInternet> somsip: cool, it works, thats the important thing
[09:05] <somsip> ToTheInternet: indeed it is
[09:05] <rwsq1> I've been looking at the shellshock attack vectors - does the apache one depend on people using actual bash scripts as cgi?
[09:06] <somsip> rwsq1: I believe so, but there are other vectors too.
[09:06] <cynicallemon> change your shell
[09:07] <Wulframn> We're all changing our shell now?
[09:07] <rwsq1> cynicallemon, I use zsh, but it's not my shell I'm worried about
[09:08] <rwsq1> I did contemplate removing bash altogether and symlink it to dash
[09:09] <logical_> I am newer to linux but i am ashamed to ask how to rename a usb -.-
[09:10] <logical_> when i right click it, the rename is in gray (non clickable)ž
[09:10] <EriC^^> logical_: maybe you need to unmount it?
[09:10] <LainProtocol7> Rename a USB socket?
[09:11] <EriC^^> LainProtocol7: i think he wants to change the label
[09:11] <logical_> then it dissapears
[09:11] <logical_> yes the label
[09:11] <zundrli> hello everyone
[09:12] <zundrli> is anyone here using ubuntu 14.04 with a dual monitor setup?
[09:12] <Wulframn> logical_: what kind of filesystem is on the USB drive?
[09:13] <logical_> i deleted all files on the usb, i just want to rename the usb
[09:13] <k1l> zundrli: a lot are using dualmonitor
[09:13] <zundrli> i need help with ubuntu 14.04 and youtube videos in fullscreen having the wrong aspect ratio (second monitor)
[09:14] <Wulframn> logical_: there will still be a filesystem on it. Just because you deleted the files doesn't mean you deleted the filesystem.
[09:14] <cynicallemon> rwsq1: we i feel we are all a victim of the "linux is secure" syndrome
[09:15] <logical_> Wulframn seems like you dont understand me,  forget what is on the usb, i just want to change the label of the usb, the name of the usb,  like if it was called USB1 i want to rename it to logicals usb...
[09:15] <Wulframn> cynicallemon: it's because that's what the fanboys tout as one of its primary advantages.
[09:15] <cynicallemon> wait until systemd becomes the #1 attack vector
[09:15] <rwsq1> cynicallemon, I think the point is that everything is out in the open
[09:16] <Wulframn> logical_: Your ability to change the USB's label depends on the filesystem type on the USB.
[09:16] <logical_> wulframn it is fat32
[09:16] <cynicallemon> i like the fact that openbsd chroots their own httpd server by default
[09:16] <Wulframn> logical_: thank you, just a moment
[09:16] <rwsq1> this is by far the worst bug I've encountered in 14 years, and it's been sorted out reasonably efficiently, and it's actually probably not as severe as first thought. But the point is we can all see what's happening. If it was a bug in OSX or Windows we woudln't know what was going on until there was an update.
[09:17] <rwsq1> zundrli, I am using such a setup
[09:17] <Wulframn> logical_: do you know the USB's location? If not please use fdisk -l
[09:17] <zundrli> do you have the same problem rwsql
[09:17] <rwsq1> not as far as I can see
[09:17] <rwsq1> are your monitors of identical resolution?
[09:17] <p0a> Hello I have a netbook here with ubuntu installed but the person who is using it does not know the password
[09:17] <p0a> the username is 'user'
[09:18] <p0a> can someone guess what the password is? The person is computer illiterate and he bought the computer
[09:18] <zundrli> no one is 1920x1080 (monitor1) and 1280x1024 (monitor2)
[09:18] <rwsq1> p0a have you tried booting into single user mode?
[09:18] <rwsq1> I guess that's your problem zundrli
[09:18] <p0a> rwsq1: What do you mean by that?
[09:18] <Wulframn> p0a: No we can't, but we can help you setup a new password.
[09:18] <Ben64> !lostpassword | p0a
[09:18] <LainProtocol7> p0a: god, or sex
[09:18] <logical_> Wulframn fdisk -l gives me nothing in terminal, but i know that the usb drive is in /mount/logical placed
[09:18] <p0a> LainProtocol7: love?
[09:19] <zundrli> rwsql many people have that problem and noone knows why
[09:19] <NaStYdoG> 7
[09:19] <zundrli> rwsql its fine for twitch.tv but not for youtube
[09:19] <cynicallemon> rwsq1: as u state being in the open, linux has been "secure" by obscurity, not so obscure anymore
[09:19] <Wulframn> logical_: you need /dev/sdb1 (or something like that)
[09:19] <p0a> Ben64: thank you
[09:20] <EriC^^> logical_: go to the dash > type disks, select your disk, click on the partition, click the gear icon, select edit filesystem > edit the label
[09:21] <logical_> wulframn it is /dev/sdb1
[09:21] <rwsq1> p0a if you reboot, at the grub prompt you should get a recovery mode option
[09:21] <Wulframn> logical_: sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdb1 -s ::"<new label> "
[09:22] <Wulframn> Or do what EriC^^ said
[09:22] <rwsq1> p0a to get into grub prompt hold shift key while booting
[09:23] <logical_> Worked, thank you guys
[09:23] <logical_> thank you for your patience
[09:23] <buharin> hello
[09:23] <Wulframn> No worries
[09:24] <buharin> I got problem on my hp probook I havent network interface eth0
[09:24] <rwsq1> cynicallemon, quite the opposite - it's closed source which is secure by being obscure

[09:24] <buharin> Wulframn, only lo and wlan0

[09:26] <tdn> I have just installed 12.04 amd 64. I cannot start any virtualbox machines. I have tried reinstalling virtualbox packages, but it does not help. This is the error I see: http://paste.yt/p3183.html    What to do?
[09:26] <p0a> I was not prompted to grub\
[09:26] <p0a> to log in into a root shell
[09:26] <bloopletech> I have a UEFI-enabled machine with Windows 8.1 installed; I've repartitioned, installed 14.04 etc, but Ubuntu only boots if the BIOS is set to Legacy mode, and then the Grub screen doesn't show windows. I hae installed refind in an attempt to fix this, but it hasn't helped
[09:26] <tdn> Note, I already installed build-essential and headers
[09:26] <p0a> !changepassword | p0a
[09:27] <bloopletech> and now there are refind files in my /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot directory, which I don't think is right
[09:27] <p0a> Can someone help with changing the password? I have physical access to the notebook
[09:27] <tnli> I've a question, I have 14.04 and use the Swe-kb layout, but on each boot, it starts with english, and then after a while it switches to Swe/Fi. What's up with this?
[09:27] <cynicallemon> tdn: yeah you need linux-headers
[09:27] <p0a> Ben64: I think you linked me before. Can you plese likn me again
[09:27] <tdn> cynicallemon, I already installed linux-headeres-generic
[09:28] <Wulframn> !lostpassword | p0a
[09:28] <cynicallemon> tdn: sorry just saw that :)
[09:28] <rwsq1> p0a does the grub prompt come up at boot if you hold down shift or ctrl (I forget which)
[09:28] <EriC^^> bloopletech: what happens if you boot using uefi?
[09:28] <p0a> rwsq1: the grub prompt does not come up at all
[09:28] <bloopletech> also I'm confused, as windows itself seems to present windows and ubuntu as boot options; in that case, do I need something like refind at all?
[09:28] <p0a> Wulframn: thanks. but all these methods requrie the grub prompt, which I do not ge
[09:28] <p0a> get
[09:28] <Bolt_Thrower138> word
[09:28] <bloopletech> EriC^^, a windows boot menu comes up
[09:29] <EriC^^> windows boot menu?
[09:29] <bloopletech> if I then select windows, it boots fine; if I select ubuntu, it just reboots
[09:29] <EriC^^> bloopletech: did you install using wubi?
[09:29] <Wulframn> p0a: slap a live cd in there, mount and chmod into your existing environment and change the password that way.
[09:29] <rwsq1> p0a try repeatedly pressing ctrl from boot
[09:29] <p0a> Wulframn: don't have one...
[09:29] <cynicallemon> tdn: "Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.1.12/build/make.log for more information." - have you done that?
[09:29] <p0a> rwsq1: I will try once more
[09:29] <bloopletech> EriC^^, I asked the guy who installed ubuntu, he says a livecd
[09:30] <tdn> cynicallemon, yes. Will paste it. I have no clue as to what it means.
[09:30] <EriC^^> ok
[09:30] <bloopletech> He turned UEFI off to install
[09:30] <rwsq1> you could also try ctrl-x - I think that used to be the hotkey - which version of ubuntu is this?
[09:30] <bloopletech> which explains why ubuntu only works in legacy mode
[09:30] <EriC^^> bloopletech: ah, well that's your problem
[09:30] <p0a> rwsq1: some people recommend changing /etc/default/grub on some forums, but I can't do that without the root password
[09:30] <EriC^^> bloopletech: reinstall with uefi turned on
[09:30] <quiet1> hi, can some point me to instructions for installing on an existing lvm partition on an encrypted disk?
[09:30] <bloopletech> I am vaguely aware of all this uefi stuff but avoided it till now
[09:30] <bloopletech> I have to reinstall?
[09:30] <tdn> cynicallemon, http://paste.yt/p3184.html
[09:30] <Wulframn> p0a: you have access to another system apparently. Better yet, it seems to have internet access. Download and burn one if it comes to that.
[09:30] <EriC^^> bloopletech: i think so, yes
[09:30] <p0a> Wulframn: I hve to do this in 10 minutes or less
[09:30] <bloopletech> sigh ok
[09:30] <EriC^^> bloopletech: do you have a livecd?
[09:30] <rwsq1> p0a indeed - you need to boot into recovery mode - it really shold be possible
[09:31] <p0a> rwsq1: I will try
[09:31] <bloopletech> I've got an iso, can probably burn it to a usb
[09:31] <quiet1> s/some/someone
[09:31] <p0a> rwsq1: hopefully I wont be back :P if it works
[09:31] <rwsq1> unless someone installed this machine with lilo or anoter bootloader
[09:31] <bloopletech> the other thing is, those refind files in the windows boot menu, is it safe to leave them around?
[09:31] <EriC^^> bloopletech: i have no idea what refind is
[09:32] <bloopletech> EriC^^, this thing: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
[09:32] <Wulframn> rwsq1: I'm more worried about them needing to do it in ten minutes or less. Sounds shady
[09:32] <dbugger> Hey guys. How can I execute from an script, another script that is stored in an URL
[09:32] <dbugger> ?
[09:32] <bloopletech> basically an efi boot manager... but apparently windows has one? at least a windows 8-style OS chooser gui showed
[09:32] <cynicallemon> tdn: i assume you updated packages first before installing virtualbox
[09:33] <tdn> cynicallemon, yes. Everything is up to date.
[09:33] <EriC^^> bloopletech: ok
[09:33] <rwsq1> Wulframn, yeah but that's not a software issue :)
[09:33] <bloopletech> man I dunno, I'm going to do a boot repair or whatever within windows and then reinstall ubuntu
[09:34] <EriC^^> bloopletech: yeah that's probably best
[09:34] <cynicallemon> tdn: it looks like some mismatch between virtualbox driver and kernel header file at a guess
[09:35] <cynicallemon> tdn: i would ask in ubuntu forums and virtualbox forums
[09:36] <varunendra> dbugger, wget then execute?
[09:37] <rwsq1> tdn - is your current running kernel 3.13.0-36-generic  ?
[09:37] <EriC^^> dbugger: bash <(curl -s http://script)
[09:38] <rwsq1> tdn can you paste somewhere the make log?
[09:38] <Wulframn> Welcome back buh
[09:38] <Wulframn> buharin: any luck?
[09:38] <dbugger> varunendra: how to script it, without leaving residual files?
[09:38] <buharin> Wulframn, I uinstalled network manager and all go sux
[09:38] <buharin> ;d
[09:39] <buharin> maybe I will install new ubuntu
[09:39] <buharin> instead elementary os
[09:39] <johncarper> what would be the ports that xrdp uses? i didn't had my ufw firewall enabled on startup on my ubuntu server and now i enabled it i can't connect with rdp anymore
[09:39] <johncarper> i wonder what the ports are so i can allow
[09:40] <Wulframn> buharin: run ifconfig -a, what do you see?
[09:40] <bumbar_> does anyone know if there's a solution/fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1057165 ?
[09:40] <buharin> only wlan0 and lo
[09:40] <varunendra> dbugger, just put the 'wget <options> <online script>', then "./<downloaded script>" lines in your existing script.
[09:40] <EriC^^> dbugger: that won't save anything, and it won't output any errors
[09:40] <Wulframn> buharin: run "sudo ifup eth0"
[09:41] <dbugger> EriC^^: I kinda want the error output
[09:41] <buharin> cannot find device
[09:41] <Wulframn> buharin: yeah, was prepared for that. One moment
[09:41] <Ben64> buharin: are you on elementaryos?
[09:41] <buharin> ye
[09:41] <Ben64> then you should head to the support channel for that distro
[09:41] <rwsq1> tdn sorry I see the make log - I think you might need to get a newer virtualbox
[09:41] <buharin> but it is ubuntu :P also
[09:42] <Ben64> it isn't ubuntu
[09:42] <EriC^^> dbugger: bash <(curl -Ss http://script)
[09:42] <rwsq1> tdn, download the latest 4.3.x from virtualbox site
[09:42] <buharin> Ben64, but ok I preapring new ubuntu pendrive
[09:42] <varunendra> dbugger, if you don't want the downloaded script, simply add another line (rm <script>) to remove it afterwards. Reading, downloading equal things I think.
[09:42] <EriC^^> dbugger: that will show errors, but won't show any progress meters, etc.
[09:42] <Ben64> !elementary | buharin
[09:43] <Wulframn> buharin: oh my bad, it isn't ubuntu? You're planning to install a new ubuntu?
[09:43] <buharin> Wulframn, yeah because I think it wont work but anyway it is customized ubuntu 12.04
[09:43] <buharin> I got hp probook there
[09:44] <Wulframn> buharin: Once you install ubuntu give it a try and let us know. If eth0 still isn't configured it should be an easy fix.
[09:44] <Wulframn> *should*
[09:44] <buharin> Wulframn, but you know how to fix it?
[09:44] <buharin> Wulframn, it is ubuntu 12.04 now
[09:45] <Ben64> buharin: stop saying it is ubuntu, it is not
[09:45] <buharin> -.-
[09:45] <Wulframn> buharin: I thought you just said you were running elementaryos
[09:45] <buharin> yep
[09:45] <Wulframn> Ubuntu derivatives are not Ubuntu
[09:45] <buharin> oh ok
[09:45] <buharin> so
[09:45] <buharin> go on ubuntu right now and will see :)
[09:45] <Ben64> /join #elementary and ask them
[09:46] <tdn> rwsq1, Linux grenache 3.13.0-36-generic #63~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 4 22:28:20 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64
[09:46] <Wulframn> Derivatives are downstream, meaning they have more stuff in them meaning they have bugs are not familiar with and are not prepared for
[09:46] <tdn> rwsq1, the one that is available from apt-get should work with the kernel that is available from packages, right?
[09:47] <rwsq1> tdn you would think so, but I think there was an issue with some of the 4.2 virtualbox releases
[09:48] <rwsq1> I would head straight for the virtualbox site for the latest version
[09:49] <Ben64> i'd recommend using a PPA over downloading software from the site
[09:50] <jargon> if i enable the root account and delete the user account, and reboot, will the login prompt be for the root account?
[09:51] <Ben64> jargon: don't
[09:52] <jargon> Ben64: that doesn't exactly answer my question :-/
[09:52] <Ben64> its a terrible idea, won't work and its also a bad idea
[09:52] <_blk> jargon, not in the graphical selection. Not sure about lightdm (ubuntu default), but normally there's an option to log in with any user and you could type "root" there to log in as root (strongly not recommended!). You wouldn't need to delete other accounts for that
[09:53] <jargon> Ben64: this isn't a production machine. it's for testing purposes
[09:53] <Ben64> why test something terrible like that
[09:53] <tdn> rwsq1, but this is vbox 4.1.12
[09:53] <tdn> rwsq1, so it should not be affected by 4.2 bugs?
[09:53] <Ben64> jargon: shouldn't you be learning to do things the proper way
[09:53] <jargon> _blk: this is the server edition. sorry, i forgot to mention that. no gui
[09:53] <tdn> rwsq1, also, I have used virtualbox on 12.04 before. I just recently had to reinstall. And now it does not work.
[09:53] <_blk> jargon, on the console you can log in with any user anyway, no need to delete users for that first
[09:53] <layke> Hi. I'm finding it impossible to use chrome on my fresh 14.04 install. I notice xorg and chrome seem to run at 100% CPU and I end up having 4-8 seconds inbetween any user input and mouse clicks
[09:54] <jargon> _blk: good point
[09:54] <jargon> thanks!
[09:54] <_blk> jargon, you may want to set root's password first!
[09:54] <rwsq1> tdn, it could be that the 12.04 kernel has changed in recent releases and this has caused incompatibility with virtualbox - you would need to check the changelog
[09:54] <jargon> _blk: i already did :-)
[09:54] <Ben64> jargon: alternatively, learn how to use sudo properly
[09:55] <_blk> jargon, I would go with Ben64's suggestion to use sudo
[09:55] <_blk> use sudo -s to spawn a root shell
[09:55] <Ben64> or just leave the channel : /
[09:56] <rwsq1> tdn, is this your problem: https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2014/03/msg00066.html
[09:56] <rwsq1> (obv that's a debian list but it seems a more general situation)
[09:57] <MickeyDroid> Hello
[09:57] <MickeyDroid> I need help!!!
[09:57] <MickeyDroid> My Latitude e6420 with ubuntu 14 32bits turns  to lag when i press the key combination for dimming the screen.Any fix for that??
[09:58] <tdn> rwsq1, I have no idea.
[09:58] <bisu> MickeyDroid: and does it work? dim?
[09:59] <k1l> MickeyDroid: see in "dmesg" what errors pop up after you pressed that key
[09:59] <Kartagis> how to take ownership of some samba shared directory? I've tried uid and gid, file_mode and dir_mode, none seem to have worked
[09:59] <rwsq1> tdn, here you are: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1292118
[10:00] <rwsq1> that does seem to be your bug
[10:00] <charlesay> hi
[10:00] <rwsq1> "The virtualbox module does not build with the newer HWE kernels found in Ubuntu Precise/12.04"
[10:01] <charlesay> the man page lookup on my ubuntu system does not work - is it possible to uninstall man-db without breaking something (and then reinstall)?
[10:02] <layke> What is Xorg? Why would it constantly be high CPU usage? Can I do anything to stop it? Even dragging windows around the screen has insane lag.
[10:02] <layke> Entering text in inputs has lag. Everything is slooow.
[10:02] <blueingress> ping www.cfwin.com
[10:03] <bazhang> !xorg | layke
[10:04] <Wulframn> I think layke just tried killing xorg. :-\
[10:05] <tdn> rwsq1, I am nt sure what to make of this.... It proposes a lot of workarounds, but they do not seem to work for people. I have tried most of this also. And without luck. Is this something that is being fixed?
[10:05] <MickeyDroid> My Latitude e6420 with ubuntu 14 32bits turns  to lag when i press the key combination for dimming the screen.Any fix for that??
[10:06] <bazhang> MickeyDroid, did you try the suggestion already given
[10:08] <MickeyDroid> which suggestion??
[10:08] <bazhang> MickeyDroid, a helper also asked a clarification question, please respond to that as well
[10:10] <MickeyDroid> Okay
[10:12] <jishjish> hi guys --> anyone know how to get gimp to read .psd made with prophoto color profile in GIMP?
[10:12] <MickeyDroid> Bazhang, i am sorry but i cant find the clarification
[10:12] <Kartagis> how to take ownership of some samba shared directory? I've tried uid and gid, file_mode and dir_mode, none seem to have worked
 MickeyDroid: and does it work? dim? <k1l> MickeyDroid: see in "dmesg" what errors pop up after you pressed that key
[10:15] <jishjish> anyone know how to use prophoto color profile from gimp?
[10:16] <bazhang> jishjish, why not ask in #gimp
[10:16] <jishjish> I did, but I use ubuntu so I thought I would ask there (the community is big)
[10:16] <bazzzb> made my /tmp nosuid with: tmpfs  /tmp  tmpfs  defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=1777,size=100M   0    0. But if I do touch /tmp/test && chmod +s /tmp/test. ls -l shows me: -rwSrwSr--. Is this expected? I'd think no S flag would be set...
[10:18] <Akiraa> Is it possible to use two AMD cards of different model and different generation in the same system with ubuntu (14.04 LTS)? I want to power three monitors of different resolutions and aspect ratios.
[10:18] <Akiraa> a 5xxx card and a 6xxx card
[10:19] <MickeyDroid> bazhang: No error pops up in dmesg
[10:19] <mharris> Akiraa: It can work in theory, modulo X server and video driver bugs, BIOS glitches and other factors that can be very specific to the motherboard/video card combination, so no universal answer, but in theory X is designed to handle it.
[10:19] <MickeyDroid> i personally entered this command " tail -f /var/log/kern.log"
[10:19] <MickeyDroid> and tried dimming the screen
[10:20] <MickeyDroid> but no errors popped up
[10:20] <MickeyDroid> i did the same command with dmesg
[10:23] <EriC^^> MickeyDroid: try /var/log/syslog
[10:23] <MickeyDroid> Okay
[10:23] <MickeyDroid> Let me give that a try
[10:24] <MickeyDroid> am not getting any readings with that either
[10:30] <tdn> rwsq1, I am downloading http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.16/virtualbox-4.3_4.3.16-95972~Ubuntu~precise_amd64.deb   do I need to remove/purge virtualbox first? What about dkms and such?
[10:31] <syeekick> tdn explain yourself a little more budddy
[10:37] <last_staff> trying to launch synaptic gives me "cannot open display :0.0"
[10:37] <last_staff> anybody know what I can have done?
[10:38] <Fuchs> last_staff: 1) are you running a graphical environment?   2) how exactly are you trying to run it? As a different user? (including root / sudo)
[10:43] <Kopfgeldjaeger> Hi. I get a segfault when upgrading bash to 4.3-7ubuntu1.4 on ubuntu 14.04: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault. does anybody know a solution?

[10:45] <MickeyDroid> that command upgrades the whole ubuntu right??

[10:51] <last_staff> Fuchs: xubuntu desktop, trying to run 'sudo synaptic' with the user vagrant in the sudoers file and a member of the sudo group
[10:54] <BluesKaj> HIya folks
[10:56] <Fuchs> last_staff: do not run graphical applications with sudo
[10:56] <Fuchs> last_staff: this should not be needed, policykit will take care of permissions
[10:56] <last_staff> Fuchs: by the way, I tried running it from the terminal
[10:57] <Fuchs> that should not be an issue, unless by terminal you mean a VT, then you'd have to specify the DISPLAY variable  (and it would be a bit pointless)
[10:57] <last_staff> can't launch it from the menu, since nothing happens
[10:57] <last_staff> well
[10:57] <last_staff> except the password thing
[10:58] <last_staff> authentication dialog pops up -> enter the password -> click Authenticate -> then, nothing
[10:58] <Fuchs> right, then running it from a terminal is a good idea, just do it without sudo, b
[10:58] <Fuchs> *because as said, policykit should do the auth thing
[10:59] <last_staff> Starting "Synaptic Package Manager" without administrative privileges
[11:00] <last_staff> so I get the synaptic window up, but that's about it. I can't install any packages or anything
[11:00] <Fuchs> what version of ubuntu is that?
[11:00] <last_staff> which is what it's for
[11:01] <last_staff> 14.04
[11:02] <Fuchs> last_staff: can you try with pkexec?
[11:02] <Fuchs> (instead of sudo)
[11:06] <test> are there any ubuntu tools to grab the posts to a google group and save them as a text file, any suggestions
[11:10] <last_staff> Fuchs: "(synaptic:3787): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0"
[11:10] <last_staff> i.e., same as with sudo
[11:10] <last_staff> there's also
[11:10] <last_staff> "No protocol specified", and
[11:10] <last_staff> "error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment."
[11:11] <last_staff> x d, not smileyface
[11:11] <LainProtocol7> test: Depends on the Google Group. Some can be downloaded with Usenet clients, but other Google Groups are newer and purely viewable with the web interface
[11:12] <wadie> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2246220&p=13131648#post13131648
[11:14] <last_staff> ...hmmm
[11:14] <last_staff> xdg_runtime_dir gives me /run/user/1000
[11:18] <Fuchs> last_staff: is your user the one with id 1000,
[11:19] <Fuchs> last_staff: plus does env  (the command) list the DISPLAY variable,
[11:19] <Fuchs> last_staff: plus if you already launched several commands with sudo: make sure that files in your home, especially hidden ones such as .XAuthority, belong to the correct user, not root. Fix if needed.
[11:20] <last_staff> Fuchs: according to the advanced user settings, the user has User ID 1000
[11:20] <last_staff> Fuchs: env and sudo env both list DISPLAY=:0.0
[11:21] <last_staff> eh...how do I chown, again?
[11:21] <last_staff> I've rarely had the need for it
[11:22] <blackyboy> Hi everyone i want to redierct http to https and if some one access in mysite.com it want to forward to www.mysite.com this both want to be done for my domain but i have done the mysite.com to www.mysite.com but i cant redirect my http to https if i enable the virtual host redirect rule for http to https page not getting loaded.  im using apache2 in ubuntu server 14.04LTS here is my virtualhost entry in pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/8454609/
[11:23] <LainProtocol7> blackyboy: You're rewriting to http://, not https://
[11:24] <last_staff> oh, /u means file/directory
[11:24] <LainProtocol7> blackyboy: Should be:     RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST} [R=301,L]
[11:24] <k1l> last_staff: "sudo chown user:user file"
[11:25] <LainProtocol7> blackyboy: That's presuming the other bits are correct. I just used: https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteHTTPToHTTPS for my webserver
[11:26] <blackyboy> ok let me try the above link
[11:26] <last_staff> k1l: thanks, I did a "sudo chown vagrant:vagrant /home/vagrant"
[11:27] <k1l> last_staff: that is not enough. you need to specify the files like .Xauthority
[11:28] <Fuchs> last_staff: or use the -R flag, but as that will affect all files and is not undoable: I don't recommend it. If it's only some (1-3) files: just specify them manually
[11:28] <Fuchs> ls -al  should list them
[11:28] <last_staff> k1l: I meant "sudo chown vagrant:vagrant -hR..."
[11:28] <last_staff> oh, I shouldn't do that?
[11:29] <Fuchs> well, I personally wouldn't recommend it
[11:29] <last_staff> ....vagrant destroy && vagrant up
[11:29] <test> thanks
[11:29] <Fuchs> as there might be files under your home folder that should belong to someone else
[11:29] <BobBall> Hi - can I install Ubuntu trusty including -updates somehow?  I'm doing a netboot install so ideally if there was a d-i setting I can twizzle to make sure it uses the -updates repo to download the very latest kernel etc it'd be great...
[11:29] <k1l> last_staff: well, be very careful with -R
[11:29] <Fuchs> but if you already did it: meh.  Try if pkexec thingie works now
[11:29] <Fuchs> and if yes: do not use sudo with graphical applications again :)
[11:29] <abaday> Hi, Im having trouble escaping the '. echo 'for RAN in $(su - rancid -c 'echo HEJ'); do RANCID=$RAN; done'
[11:30] <abaday> I want the output to be exactly: for RAN in $(su - rancid -c 'echo HEJ'); do RANCID=$RAN; done
[11:30] <blackyboy> LainProtocol7: i have used the above link but still i cant forward to https page not loading , but URL shows as https://mysite.com
[11:30] <last_staff> well what about when I'm forced to?
[11:30] <abaday> instead im getting for RAN in $(su - rancid -c echo HEJ); do RANCID=$RAN; done
[11:30] <last_staff> I mean "forced to"
[11:30] <abaday> note there is no '' around my echo HEJ in the output. which i need to have
[11:31] <Fuchs> last_staff: you shouldn't be
[11:31] <Fuchs> last_staff: if, you can install and use something such as gksudo. Or check if policykit  (pkexec) does the job
[11:32] <k1l> last_staff: you are not forced to run gui with sudo.
[11:32] <LainProtocol7> blackyboy: So it forwards to https, but then there's an issue?
[11:33] <last_staff> k1l: yeah I know, that's why I put it in quotation marks right afterwards
[11:33] <blackyboy> LainProtocol7: yes page not loading may be my ssl configuration was not good means how can i troubleshoot it
[11:33] <last_staff> basically I want to run synaptic instead of sudo apt-get whatever
[11:34] <LainProtocol7> blackyboy: SSL certificates tend to be valid for domain.com, OR www.domain.com, unless you have a wildcard certificate. If so, you shouldn't set an alias for the *.443 domain, and instead you should catch requests and forward them on to the domain you're primarily using
[11:35] <brontosaurusrex> abaday: try #bash
[11:35] <blackyboy> yes its wildcard certificate
[11:35] <k1l> last_staff: again, dont use sudo. we have gksu or gksudo for that. but synaptic should provide an request for entering the pw when started as regular program
[11:36] <LainProtocol7> blackyboy: Not sure then, you'd need to look in your log files to see what error Apache is reporting
[11:36] <last_staff> k1l: and it does. Only, after the password has been entered, the main window is never displayed
[11:37] <rwsq1> tdn - I would imagine that it will upgrade to that version and rebuild the dkms but you could remove the old one first if you want
[11:37] <last_staff> k1l: and apparently it's crashed, because I can't see the program in the task manager (including all users)
[11:37] <LainProtocol7> blackyboy: My Virtualhost has a line for "SSLCertificateChainFile" where I specify the Certificate chain bundle, which yours is missing
[11:37] <LainProtocol7> blackyboy: Don't know if this is mandatory though
[11:39] <blackyboy> LainProtocol7: just now i have tried the chain file in .pem format still its showing error wait let me look into logs
[11:39] <last_staff> huh.....
[11:39] <last_staff> log out -> log in
[11:39] <LainProtocol7> blackyboy: You also haven't specified the SSL protocols you'll accept, or the ciphers you accept. But again, not sure if these two lines are mandatory.
[11:40] <last_staff> k1l, Fuchs: logging out and logging back in....and synaptic is up again
[11:40] <last_staff> from the menu, with the authentication window and everything
[11:41] <Fuchs> Lovely :)
[11:41] <last_staff> sometimes.... >: (
[11:41] <Fuchs> so yes, in the future try to avoid sudo for graphical applications. Alternatives: see above
[11:42] <last_staff> so what you're saying is basically that when I start synaptic from the menu it's not sudoing, right?
[11:45] <EriC^^> last_staff: what menu
[11:47] <last_staff> EriC^^: application menu
[11:47] <Fuchs> last_staff: exactly, hence me asking what version you are using,
[11:47] <EriC^^> in unity?
[11:47] <EriC^^> last_staff: type grep -i exec /usr/share/applications/synaptic.desktop
[11:47] <Fuchs> last_staff: because ubuntu (fortunately) switched from gksu (and similar) to using policykit wherever possible
[11:49] <last_staff> EriC^^: Exec=synaptic-pkexec
[11:49] <EriC^^> same here
[11:49] <last_staff> I know it's telling me something...though I don't know what
[11:49] <EriC^^> you don't get a popup when you run it?
[11:50]  * last_staff goes back to the faulty setup and see what happens
[11:50] <sleipnir> hi, I continue to have a problem with Ubuntu 14.04: it eventually (after many boots) corrupts my laptop in such a manner that Windows won't boot anymore. The only fix to this problem is removal of the CMOS battery. What could cause this?
[11:50] <last_staff> turns out vagrant is very useful for this kind of bug-isolation
[11:50] <last_staff> not bug....
[11:50] <last_staff> inconsistency
[11:51] <last_staff> "turns out vagrant is very useful for this kind of inconsistency-isolation"
[11:51] <mehdi_> hey guys im having so much ram consumption  around 95% how can i manage it?
[11:51] <bazhang> check in top what they are mehdi_
[11:52] <Fuchs> mehdi_: see with something like htop or a process manager what takes it,
[11:52] <last_staff> mehdi_: install windows
[11:52] <cfhowlett> sleipnir, never heard of ubuntu  touching cmos ...
[11:52] <bazhang> last_staff, what?
[11:52] <Fuchs> mehdi_: do note that Linux uses available RAM for caching, this is on purpose and good.
[11:52] <last_staff> then you'll be up to 100% in no-time
[11:52] <bazhang> last_staff, thats not helpful
[11:52] <Fuchs> which is  http://www.linuxatemyram.com/  in detail
[11:53] <last_staff> bazhang: I know, I'm overtired. Stuff like that pops out of me from time to time, then
[11:53] <quietone> hi, just completed installing but bootloader failed and I don't know how to fix grub or boot to Ubuntu
[11:53] <sleipnir> cfhowlett, I am not saying that it does touch the CMOS necessraly, just that the only remedy is CMOS battery removale
[11:53] <cfhowlett> !grub | quietone
[11:53] <bazhang> quietone, dual boot with win8?
[11:54] <mehdi_> i ran vbox and sqldeveloper  but i close them all only run firefox,rhythmbox, terminal,skype and geany
[11:54] <bazhang> mehdi_, did you check top as to what is consuming the most
[11:55] <quietone> cfhowlett, bazhang, no. Debian Jessie. I installed Ubuntu in a separate LVM partition on an encrypted drive.
[11:55] <quietone> I've mucked around with the Boot Repair disk but that kept failing
[11:55] <bazhang> quietone, that extra info helps a lot
[11:55] <quietone> wanted me to stop package managers that were not running
[11:55] <Fuchs> mehdi_: I'd recommend using htop, because the colours will also show whether the RAM is really used or just for caching, which is explained above.
[11:56] <mehdi_> the application lock in the launchbar are using ram also?
[11:56] <quietone> bazhang, np. it's just that messing with Grub etc isn't my area of interest but I can't find suitable help either
[11:56] <bazhang> mehdi_, could be, what does top/htop show
[11:57] <last_staff> EriC^^: the grep command shows me the same thing as when before i logged out then back in, as expected
[11:57] <EriC^^> last_staff: what's going on?
[11:57] <EriC^^> i'm late to the party :)
[11:57] <bazhang> quietone, I'm not really up to speed on grub/lvm issues, there is the grub wiki above, and also #grub
[11:57] <Fuchs> last_staff: I assume that one of the files in your home belonged to the wrong user, which was an issue when you properly want to run a graphical application in context of another
[12:00] <EriC^^> Fuchs: if he uses sudo synaptic to launch it, that could get root to own some files there
[12:00] <mehdi_> nautilus 1.3GB
[12:00] <Fuchs> EriC^^: he did, I told him it's a bad idea, we fixed permissions, it works again  (well, with policykit, which should be used)
[12:00] <last_staff> Fuchs: could it have something to do with user@hostname pointers?
[12:00] <mehdi_> compiz 1.9GB
[12:01] <Fuchs> last_staff: hard to say with it being as (non)verbose as it is. What you could have tried is debugging policykit when the error occurred, but that's usually not a fun thing to do. So unless you are bored ...
[12:01] <quietone> bazhang, thx. I've already skimmed those pages. I'll try #grub
[12:01] <last_staff> Fuchs: ...or pretty much dead-set on figuring out the root cause
[12:03] <Fuchs> last_staff: well yes, the root cause is running graphical (X11) applications with sudo, which should not be done, because with regular sudo  (not -i) the user environment is kept, hence files are written / modified in your home, some of them being core X stuff like .XAuthority
[12:03] <bazhang> mehdi_, so the system is very slow using unity then. perhaps try xubuntu/lubuntu on there
[12:03] <last_staff> EriC^^: The issue was solved, but I've yet to figure out what caused it. I know now what the effect of it is and how to solve it, just not the why and when it happens
[12:04] <roamer> Hi, I
[12:04] <Fuchs> last_staff: http://askubuntu.com/questions/270006/why-user-should-never-use-normal-sudo-to-start-graphical-application  explains what I just wrote in a bit more detail  (the first answer)
[12:05] <roamer> Hi, I have got the following bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977) and am now stuck at grub rescue... Can anyone help me out?
[12:05] <roamer> Anyone?
[12:05] <last_staff> Fuchs: oooh~, bookmarked
[12:06] <Fuchs> last_staff: it also mentions gksu(do) I mentioned earlier. Note that this is no longer used (and installed) in recent ubuntu versions, but you can still install it
[12:06] <Fuchs> and if you happen to need a graphical application as root (which you usually don't. Exceptions, such as system settings or package managers, should use policykit these days), you can use that
[12:06] <Z3> Hi, when will appear first Ubuntu tablet?
[12:06] <spydon> How can I lower the base volume through pulseaudio?
[12:06] <Fuchs> I'd not recommend it though, it usually means that something went wrong in the first place if you need root rights
[12:06] <bazhang> !tablet | z3
[12:06] <popey> Z3: next year probably
[12:07] <roamer> Hi, I have got the following bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977) and am now stuck at grub rescue... Can anyone help me out?
[12:07] <last_staff> Fuchs: I blame that I started out with windows, then ubuntu
[12:07] <Z3> thank you bazhang ubottu popey :-)
[12:07] <bazhang> one of us is a bot
[12:07] <roamer> Can anyone help me try to get out of grub rescue?
[12:07] <Fuchs> last_staff: happened to most of us I guess. But one can learn :)
[12:08] <EriC^^> last_staff: if you want to know why you can type diff <(gksu env) <(sudo env)
[12:08] <bazhang> patience roamer
[12:08] <roamer> ok bzhang
[12:08] <Z3> bazhang lol ok :)
[12:08] <roamer> ok bazhang
[12:10] <EriC^^> last_staff: it will list the difference between the environment when you run synaptic with those 2 commands, the first is gksu the second is sudo
[12:11] <last_staff> heh, now I get gksu: no such file or directory
[12:12] <quants> for some odd reason my laptop battery has stopped working. is there and not hardware reason why this might happen?
[12:12] <bazhang> !info gksu
[12:13] <last_staff> I'm thinking though, that if I'd started out with building the kernel from scratch, like most of the linux geeks in my school (many years back), I'd know a bit more about the OS itself
[12:13] <EriC^^> last_staff: are you using a bash shell?
[12:14] <last_staff> um, I don't know anymore. could be dash
[12:14] <last_staff> lemme check
[12:14] <k1l> last_staff: i suggest you should start with reading about what you do instead of blindly entering some commands you found anywhere
[12:14] <k1l> !sudo | last_staff
[12:14] <k1l> read that! it will explain you a lot.
[12:14] <last_staff> wow I'm getting it with a teaspoon today. thanks :) (no joke)
[12:16] <Guest6977> yesterday i set up xrdp to connect always trough port 5910 to get tesame session everytime connect, it works with my ufw firewall disabled but not when enabled on my ubuntu client
[12:16] <Guest6977> even tho i did sudo ufw allow 5910
[12:16] <Guest6977> any ideas what might be the problem
[12:16] <last_staff> EriC^^: ps -p $$ gives me 'bash', but I'm actually looking for what sh is linked to
[12:17] <geirha> last_staff: readlink -f /bin/sh
[12:18] <last_staff> geirha: that one, yeah. Thanks.
[12:18] <last_staff> EriC^^: readlink -f /bin/sh points to dash
[12:18] <last_staff> hence why I'm not sure what I'm running
[12:18] <Guest6977> how can i allow port 5910 with the ufw to be open all the time?
[12:19] <quants> hi guys my laptop is not picking up my battery, any ideas?
[12:19] <roamer> Hi, can anyone take me out of this grub rescue problem?
[12:19] <roamer> please?
[12:20] <EriC^^> roamer: what's the problem?
[12:20] <last_staff> roamer: did you try changing the boot order?
[12:20] <last_staff> EriC^^: I think quants is struggling with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977
[12:20] <last_staff> thanks, ubuntu bot
[12:20] <roamer> Dear Eric^^ and last_staff I simply upgraded... and tried boot-repair... however I am still stuck at grub rescue
[12:21] <EriC^^> roamer: it was running fine before?
[12:21] <roamer> last_staff and Eric^^ yes that is the problem
[12:21] <roamer> yeah
[12:21] <EriC^^> roamer: did the upgrade mention anything about boot being full or errors?
[12:21] <roamer> Eric^^ : no
[12:22] <kane77> hi.. I removed files from /var/lib/dpkg/info, how can I get them back?
[12:22] <EriC^^> roamer: type df and check if there's a /boot and if it's full
[12:22] <roamer> EriC^^ : it says unknown command... I am still stuck at grub rescue>
[12:23] <EriC^^> oh
[12:23] <EriC^^> you don't have a livecd?
[12:24] <roamer> EriC^^ i do... boot up from livecd?
[12:24] <quants> what's that last-staff ??
[12:24] <quants> last_staff even
[12:24] <EriC^^> roamer: yes please
[12:24] <YamakasY> is it possible to rerun a trusty upgrade ?

[12:25] <wwwwww> hey guys i've been having this recurring bug ever since i installed 14.04, basically it makes windows turn completely black and i have to switch around between windows 100 times just to get it to work again
[12:26] <wwwwww> windows as in firefox for example. not the os
[12:27] <hateball> wwwwww: What GPU chipset and driver are you using?
[12:27] <wwwwww> i have a gtx 760 and i'm running nvidia-current
[12:27] <last_staff> quants: huh? what's what?
[12:28] <EriC^^> last_staff: you highlighted him by mistake earlier
[12:28] <EriC^^> ( while addressing roamer 's issue )
[12:28] <last_staff> you mean the boot order thing?
[12:29] <roamer> (trying to boot up from live cd as EriC^^ suggested)
[12:29] <ts_user> any idea of a command that would automatically mount any USB storage device after it's unmounted ?
[12:29] <ts_user> (I mean for an entry not present in fstab)
[12:30] <EriC^^> last_staff: when ubottu gave the bug report
[12:30] <last_staff> brb
[12:31] <roamer> EriC^^ : I have booted from livecd
[12:31] <EriC^^> roamer: ok, is this a efi machine btw?
[12:31] <ts_user> mount -a doesn't refresh USB :/
[12:31] <roamer> EriC^^ : yes
[12:32] <EriC^^> roamer: ok, type sudo parted -l
[12:32] <EriC^^> and get the disk and partition number of the efi partition, and your main ubuntu installation
[12:32] <roamer> EriC^^ : do you want the full table? should we private chat?
[12:33] <roamer> EriC^^ :  it is number 1 and 3
[12:33] <roamer> EriC^^ :  1 and 3 writes EFI system partition
[12:33] <ts_user> (it seems gvfs-mount doesn't refresh USB either....)
[12:33] <EriC^^> 1 *and* 3 ?
[12:33] <Raydiation> hi guys, my build server gets stuck on sudo apt-get upgrade -y https://travis-ci.org/owncloud/news/jobs/36556587#L883
[12:33] <roamer> EriC^^ :  yes
[12:34] <EriC^^> roamer: type sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[12:34] <Raydiation> is there a way to tell apt-get to keep the current version?
[12:34] <quants> last_staff do you think this bug could stop my battery working?
[12:34] <roamer> EriC^^ :  ok done
[12:35] <EriC^^> roamer: sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[12:35] <roamer> EriC^^ :  http://paste.ubuntu.com/8456918
[12:37] <roamer> EriC^^ :  have you been able to open the link?
[12:37] <EriC^^> roamer: yes
[12:37] <EriC^^> roamer: it's weird that you have 2 efi partitions
[12:37] <EriC^^> usually 1 only is recommended
[12:38] <EriC^^> did you install ubuntu?
[12:38] <roamer> EriC^^ :  i used boot-repair... i think it did some of its magic there... : http://paste.ubuntu.com/8453292/
[12:38] <roamer> EriC^^ : yes I did the installation
[12:38] <quants> whats the best way to fix the grub problem?

[12:42] <cfhowlett> ginette, get your crappy spammy out of this channy.
[12:44] <roamer> EriC^^ : can we fix it? or have a just done something very very wrong?
[12:44] <roamer> EriC^^ : can we fix it? or have I just done something very very wrong?
[12:45] <EriC^^> roamer: it's fine
[12:45] <EriC^^> roamer: it looks like ubuntu is using sda3 as efi, according to your fstab
[12:46] <roamer> EriC^^ :  so how do I fix it? any suggestions?
[12:46] <EriC^^> roamer: type sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
[12:46] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok
[12:47] <roamer> EriC^^ : done that
[12:47] <EriC^^> roamer: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/boot/efi
[12:48] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok...
[12:48] <roamer> EriC^^ : next?
[12:48] <EriC^^> roamer: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[12:48] <dotrb> Hi everyone
[12:49] <roamer> EriC^^ : what does that do?
[12:49] <EriC^^> it mounts file systems
[12:49] <dotrb> Is there a cool grey/silver icon theme, preferably flat??
[12:49] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok done... next?
[12:50] <EriC^^> roamer: sudo chroot /mnt
[12:50] <last_staff> back. What'd I miss?
[12:50] <roamer> ok
[12:50] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok done...
[12:50] <EriC^^> roamer: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[12:51] <roamer> EriC^^ : installation finished no error reported...
[12:51] <EriC^^> roamer: update-grub
[12:52] <roamer> EriC^^ : done...
[12:53] <EriC^^> roamer: exit
[12:53] <roamer> EriC^^ : just one note though... it found the linux image : vmlinuz-3.11.0-36-generic
[12:53] <roamer> EriC^^ : is that ok?
[12:53] <EriC^^> well, are you on trusty?
[12:53] <roamer> EriC^^ : exited...
[12:53] <EriC^^> are you sure it's 3.11 or 3.13?
[12:53] <EriC^^> latest is 3.13.0-36
[12:54] <roamer> EriC^^ : it found both 11 and 13
[12:54] <EriC^^> ok
[12:54] <roamer> EriC^^ : exited... what now?
[12:54] <roamer> EriC^^ : restart?
[12:54] <EriC^^> type umount -a
[12:55] <EriC^^> sudo umount -a , then sudo reboot
[12:55] <roamer> EriC^^ : when I typd umount -a it said : for all devices device is busy...
[12:57] <roamer> EriC^^ : is it still ok to reboot?
[12:57] <EriC^^> it's ok, it probably meant different ones
[12:57] <roamer> EriC^^ : rebooting?
[12:57] <EriC^^> yeah unless you want to make sure they unmounted
[12:58] <roamer> EriC^^ : grub rescue screen again
[12:58] <roamer> EriC^^ : :(
[13:00] <b0x> hola
[13:01] <EriC^^> roamer: maybe the bios is using the first efi partition?
[13:02] <roamer> EriC^^ : how is that possible?
[13:02] <EriC^^> it would make sense it would
[13:02] <roamer> EriC^^ : it didn't use to
[13:02] <roamer> EriC^^ : i mean i used to dual boot...
[13:02] <roamer> EriC^^ : now I get that weird https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977 error
[13:02] <EriC^^> did ever run an upgrade on the machine?
[13:03] <roamer> thank you ubottu

[13:03] <b0x> hello
[13:03] <zy3pDbot> hi
[13:04] <sleipnir> hi everyone, another ubuntu question: I am running 12.04 server and ssh is taking very long to respond (about 30 seconds)
[13:05] <sleipnir> what causes something like that and how can I fix it?
[13:05] <k1l> sleipnir: system load?
[13:05] <sleipnir> k1l, zero system load
[13:06] <sleipnir> k1l, 12 cores 32 GB of ram
[13:06] <sleipnir> q:Q
[13:06] <k1l> what does "top" tell you about the systemload?
[13:06] <EriC^^> roamer: try to boot the liveusb again
[13:06] <k1l> or about the i/o wiat
[13:06] <k1l> *wait
[13:06] <sleipnir> k1l, says 0% CPU
[13:07] <sleipnir> mhh, where can I see IO?
[13:07] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok... you need to wait a little while Live CD boot takes time
[13:07] <k1l> sleipnir: not cpu load, system load: http://askubuntu.com/questions/9487/whats-the-difference-between-load-average-and-cpu-load
[13:07] <felon> sudo apt-get install skype .... unable to locate package skype :/
[13:07] <k1l> !skype | felon
[13:07] <sleipnir> k1l, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
[13:08] <sleipnir> k1l, %CPU(s): 0.0 us, 0.1 sy, 0.0 ni, 99.9 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
[13:09] <k1l> ok
[13:09] <nurul> hei
[13:09] <nurul> its first time i use irc
[13:10] <drmagoo> sleipnir: what client are you using to ssh to the machine ?
[13:11] <zy3pDbot> hi
[13:11] <sleipnir> drmagoo, just ubuntu ssh
[13:12] <Dovid> How do I go abotu fixing this? It is an old server and I can't update bash
[13:12] <Dovid> http://pastebin.com/r60hrXNR
[13:12] <drmagoo> can you try "ssh -vvv user@host and provide a pastebin of the output ?
[13:13] <Dovid> drmagoo: Talking to me?
[13:13] <drmagoo> sorry, that was for sleipnir
[13:14] <drmagoo> sleipnir: can you try "ssh -vvv user@host" and provide a pastebin of the output ?
[13:14] <sleipnir> drmagoo, http://pastebin.com/q9iVwu4P
[13:14] <zy3pD> hi
[13:15] <sleipnir> drmagoo, the long wait happens after line 62 is displayed
[13:18] <sleipnir> drmagoo, the machine I am trying to reach is multihomed (if that matters)
[13:18] <roamer> EriC^^ : are you there? I have booted ubuntu from livecd
[13:18] <sleipnir> drmagoo, actually that might matter because the route command takes about the same amount of time to complete as the ssh connection
[13:19] <EriC^^> roamer: ok, sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
[13:20] <roamer> EriC^^ : done
[13:21] <zy3pD> hi
[13:21] <roamer> EriC^^ : next?
[13:21] <EriC^^> roamer: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/boot/efi
[13:21] <drmagoo> sleipnir: there is nothing really odd in that pastebin, that would point to a problem with the ssh-deamon on that machine.. There must be something else that causes that problem. is this a new issue or ?
[13:22] <zy3pDbot> hi @and 3 servers
[13:22] <roamer> EriC^^ : done... next?
[13:24] <sleipnir> drmagoo, yes this is a new issue. there was a power failure and now I have this
[13:24] <Laurenceb> hi
[13:24] <sleipnir> drmagoo, it responds the same on all interfaces
[13:25] <Laurenceb> i have a problem with samba printing
[13:25] <Laurenceb> the printer is shows 0 pages when i print a large document
[13:25] <Laurenceb> it seems to be related to the file size
[13:25] <Laurenceb> can anyone advise?
[13:25] <roamer> EriC^^ : by the way thank you for helping me. I really hope we can fix this issue. I really need this to work.
[13:26] <roamer> EriC^^ : can you tell me what the next step is please?
[13:26] <EriC^^> roamer: hold on
[13:29] <erobinson> !
[13:30] <EriC^^> roamer: trying to see how we can mount both efi's in the same place and install , mount --bind not working here
[13:30] <drmagoo> sleipnir: if you run "dmesg", do you any output about disc read/write errors ?
[13:31] <EriC^^> roamer: come to think of it, that sounds like a bad idea
[13:31] <sleipnir> drmagoo, the route problem dissapears if I do route -n (it reseolves quickly) my google foo implies that it means my network is having some problems with reverse DNS lookup.
[13:32] <sleipnir> drmagoo, I do not see any errors regarding IO error
[13:32] <EriC^^> roamer: i think we should try to reinstall the grub package
[13:32] <bitkamaki> hello anyone had any luck with ubuntu xdmx? i'm trying to extend my monitor to my laptop but it just goes blank
[13:32] <HeadlessTracer> hi, can anyone tell me how to get unity web apps working in 12.04? thanks
[13:32] <EriC^^> roamer: or, mount the first efi instead and install there
[13:32] <EriC^^> roamer: up to you
[13:32] <dualbootubuntu> hi, is it possible to install ubuntu to a connected secondary disk while I'm already running ubuntu? I got gparted to basically copy the partitions/types/flags etc of the first disk, just wondering how I would go about setting it up so that all I have to do is turn it off, change a cable and have the other disk boot up and not miss a beat
[13:32] <EriC^^> roamer: hold on
[13:33] <BobBall> dualbootubuntu: Have a look at debootstrap
[13:33] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok... holding on
[13:33] <EriC^^> roamer: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[13:33] <EriC^^> run that
[13:33] <Dovid> how do I tell apt-get what the password for MySQL is ? http://pastebin.com/JibGzE0i
[13:33] <EriC^^> roamer: then sudo chroot /mnt
[13:33] <dualbootubuntu> BobBall: thanks
[13:34] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok done... next?
[13:35] <drmagoo> sleipnir: how long does a simple "host www.cnn.com" take ?
[13:35] <EriC^^> roamer: sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed
[13:35] <sleipnir> drmagoo, host could not be reached
[13:36] <sleipnir> drmagoo, same with google, but <IP_ADDRESS> goes through
[13:36] <roamer> EriC^^ : but this is a beta package?
[13:36] <drmagoo> sleipnir: and what do you have in /etc/resolv.conf
[13:36] <EriC^^> roamer: it's fine you are already using it i guess
[13:36] <roamer> EriC^^ : anyway... did what you told me... what should I do next?
[13:36] <EriC^^> roamer: mine's using it by default
[13:37] <EriC^^> roamer: did you install it?
[13:37] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok... what's next?
[13:37] <sleipnir> drmagoo, nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:37] <EriC^^> what did it output?
[13:37] <drmagoo> sleipnir: do you have a local dns-server on that machine ? otherwise try to add "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" as the first line in that file
[13:38] <roamer> EriC^^ : yes I have... awaiting further instructions...
[13:38] <EriC^^> roamer: in the end what did it say?
[13:38] <sleipnir> drmagoo, I do not have a local nameserver
[13:38] <roamer> EriC^^ : instalation finished. No error reported
[13:39] <EriC^^> roamer: type update-grub
[13:39] <drmagoo> sleipnir: do you have an internal dns-server on you network, use that.. else you google's (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[13:40] <roamer> EriC^^ : Done!
[13:41] <EriC^^> ok
[13:41] <EriC^^> type exit
[13:41] <roamer> EriC^^ : typed exit
[13:42] <EriC^^> ok btw when you type ls /boot/efi , you get some files right?
[13:42] <EriC^^> i mean
[13:42] <EriC^^> ls /mnt/boot/efi
[13:42] <roamer> EriC^^ : let me check
[13:43] <roamer> EriC^^ : yes I get Boot and EFI folders as well as bootmgr, BOOTNXT and BOOTSECT.BAK files
[13:43] <EriC^^> ok
[13:44] <EriC^^> sudo reboot
[13:45] <roamer> EriC^^ : same problem :(
[13:45] <EriC^^> we can try mounting the 1st efi if you want
[13:45] <EriC^^> it might work
[13:45] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok... let us do that can we do that from grub rescue?
[13:45] <EriC^^> nope
[13:46] <EriC^^> livecd again
[13:47] <roamer> EriC^^ : can you please explain to me what is wrong and what we are trying to do?
[13:47] <EriC^^> roamer: i think the bios boots the first efi partition
[13:47] <EriC^^> and it finds grub there, but it is corrupt or something
[13:48] <roamer> EriC^^ : I see... I also read the following : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977/comments/35
[13:48] <EriC^^> so it takes you to the prompt
[13:48] <roamer> EriC^^ : It seems we haven't done any dpkg-reconfigure...
[13:49] <roamer> EriC^^ : can that be the problem?
[13:49] <EriC^^> roamer: i dont think so
[13:51] <EriC^^> roamer: what error does grub give?
[13:51] <roamer> EriC^^: error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found
[13:51] <drmagoo> sleipnir: did that solve the problem ?
[13:52] <sleipnir> drmagoo, yes, lol
[13:52] <sleipnir> drmagoo, well no
[13:52] <EriC^^> roamer: ok, boot the livecd
[13:52] <sleipnir> drmagoo, it did on one machine and not the other
[13:52] <wadie> how to add a custom resolution to my Ubuntu 14.04 ?
[13:52] <sleipnir> drmagoo, my server had all osrts of funky stuff in resolv.conf, I commeted that out and put in <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:53] <EriC^^> wadie: xrandr
[13:53] <slap_stick> hi, i am trying to setup a LUKS partition for /root however, after doing a luksopen on the filesystem and doing a chroot on that filesystem as well as mounting the boot partition /dev/sda1 under the chroot'ed area, when i do an update-initramfs and put it in verbose mode + check the actual cpio file, it doesn't contain the evms_activate file under /sbin i'm not sure why though?
[13:53] <roamer> EriC^^ : done
[13:53] <sleipnir> now I can ssh into the server and get an immidiate response, and route takes 1 ms to populate
[13:53] <slap_stick> sorry not for /root but for /
[13:53] <EriC^^> sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
[13:53] <sleipnir> however on my desktop (this one is not multihomed) I still have the problem that route takes 30 seconds
[13:53] <wadie> EriC can you link me somewhere ?
[13:53] <drmagoo> sleipnir: and what do you have in the resolv.conf for that machine ?
[13:54] <EriC^^> wadie: what resolution do you want?
[13:54] <wadie> 1600x1200
[13:54] <EriC^^> type gtf 1600 1200 60
[13:54] <EriC^^> ( if you want it at 60Hz )
[13:55] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok... next?
[13:55] <EriC^^> roamer: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
[13:55] <wadie> ok..
[13:56] <EriC^^> wadie: that will give you the modeline
[13:56] <wadie> yep
[13:56] <EriC^^> it's from 60.00" to vsync or something
[13:56] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok... done that...
[13:56] <wadie> "1600x1200_60.00"  160.96  1600 1704 1880 2160  1200 1201 1204 1242  -HSync +Vsync
[13:56] <EriC^^> type xrandr --newmode <modeline>
[13:56] <EriC^^> wait
[13:57] <wadie> ok
[13:57] <EriC^^> type xrandr --newmode "1600x1200" 160.96 .......+Vsync
[13:57] <EriC^^> roamer: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[13:57] <wadie> done
[13:58] <EriC^^> wadie: type xrandr --addmode default 1600x1200
[13:58] <EriC^^> you can add it to whatever output you want
[13:58] <wadie> xrandr: cannot find output "default"
[13:58] <EriC^^> ok type xrandr
[13:58] <EriC^^> it should say like HDMI1
[13:58] <EriC^^> or whatever
[13:59] <EriC^^> get the output you want to add it to
[13:59] <android42863> Hi all
[14:00] <android42863> Is this working? I'm trying out android app
[14:01] <OerHeks> yes
[14:01] <EriC^^> wadie: it's like <output> Connected .......
[14:03] <poobutt> what is a good jabber client that runs in the terminal on ubuntu that supports gpg, recommendations anyone?
[14:04] <OerHeks> !info mcabber
[14:04] <roamer> EriC^^ : ok... what is next step?
[14:04] <Zerock|LittleRed> Having issues running OpenGL applications in 12.04. No, I can't upgrade. Is there a package for Intel that doesn't ship by default for some reason?
[14:04] <EriC^^> roamer: sudo chroot /mnt
[14:05] <poobutt> OerHeks: thanks
[14:06] <suraj2596> hi all
[14:07] <suraj2596> anyone there?
[14:07] <Pici> Yes. There are many someones here.
[14:08] <LainProtocol7> Zerock|LittleRed: What is your hardware?
[14:08] <suraj2596> hey pici, u new here?
[14:08] <sebastianlutter> is there a useful alternative software to teamviewer available? The client I want to connect to is behind router/firewall, so VNC does not work well. I have a root server I can use as proxy. How can I achieve to access the Desktop remotely from outside?
[14:08] <Zerock|LittleRed> LainProtocol7: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics Controller
[14:08] <suraj2596> go for mumble, u can chat but not all features
[14:08] <Zerock|LittleRed> LainProtocol7: Very bad hardware, but this application is super light. Just needs proper driver.
[14:09] <OerHeks> sebastianlutter, find a service that runs over port 80, like teamviewer, i am not aware of a free client.
[14:09] <Zerock|LittleRed> sebastianlutter: I have been searching for the same for over a year now. Best of luck to you.
[14:12] <stangeland> I have 13.10 server ed. installed, I want to upgrade to 14.04. I can do sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade......But how safe is that actually? Is there a probability that the system will crash and I will loose everything?
[14:12] <ikonia> stangeland: take backups first
[14:13] <ikonia> stangeland: how safe it is depends on what software you have configured on it and what repos you are using
[14:13] <stangeland> ikonia, is it possible to easily just backuop the entire machine?
[14:13] <ikonia> I presonally don't like the  in place upgrades, but they can work ok
[14:13] <ikonia> stangeland: you can backup the whole machine or the file systems you want to use
[14:13] <stangeland> i would like to backup the whole machine basically
[14:13] <interweb> Hi , How can I install Gnome 3.14 on ubuntu 14.04 ? (with official PPA)
[14:14] <ikonia> interweb: configure ppa - install gnome3
[14:14] <somsip> sebastianlutter: isn't that something you can do via X over SSH? I have no experience of this but understand it does what you want
[14:14] <ikonia> stangeland: look up clonezilla, simple solution
[14:15] <AlexeyPetrenko> Hi all! How to force Mesa software rendering? Should I use environment variables from http://www.mesa3d.org/envvars.html
[14:15] <ikonia> AlexeyPetrenko: force it ?
[14:15] <ikonia> AlexeyPetrenko: let Xorg manage it
[14:15] <EriC^^> roamer: ?
[14:16] <interweb> ikonia, Any official PPA ?
[14:16] <AlexeyPetrenko> ikonia: Yes, I have VBox VM and it's emulated graphics support only Opengl 2.1. I need Opengl 3 and I know Mesa softpipe driver supports it
[14:16] <roamer> EriC^^ : sorry phone
[14:16] <ikonia> interweb: not that I'm aware of,
[14:17] <AlexeyPetrenko> ikonia: How do I configure my system so it uses software driver instead of VM's GPU
[14:17] <EriC^^> roamer: no problem
[14:17] <ikonia> AlexeyPetrenko: not sure actuually in that situation,
[14:17] <roamer> EriC^^ : so I did the chroot
[14:17] <__unik> can someone tell me what the hotkey for adding Shell tab in Yakuake
[14:17] <felon> question: how do i know if im using unity 2D or 3D special affects?
[14:17] <sebastianlutter> somsip, X can remote connect, also gdm/gnome has a vnc like mechanism. But the routing through subnet / router / firewall seems to be the bottleneck
[14:18] <sebastianlutter> Zerock|LittleRed, Thanks, you still using teamviewer?
[14:18] <EriC^^> roamer: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed
[14:18] <ikonia> AlexeyPetrenko: I think (I'll need to check this) there is an xorg module for it, so if you load that it should work, but I'll need to check this
[14:18] <wadie> Thank you Eric, it's much better now :D
[14:18] <wadie> :D
[14:18] <wadie> :D
[14:18] <AlexeyPetrenko> ikonia: It worked with other VM's where I just could disable 3D acceleration and use software emulation. But now it's boot2docker VM and I dont have control over it, so I want to make it inside ubuntu
[14:18] <EriC^^> wadie: great :)
[14:18] <sebastianlutter> OerHeks, you mean something like VNC over web (do not know if something like this exists, just to get your point)
[14:18] <Zerock|LittleRed> sebastianlutter: I'm not using any remote desktop software, since there isn't any that respects my freedom.
[14:19] <AlexeyPetrenko> ikonia: Yep, I'm sure it should be. Would be nice to know how to configure X this way.
[14:19] <Zerock|LittleRed> aren't any that respect*
[14:19] <EriC^^> wadie: it's not persistent though, if you want it you can make a script and add it to ~/.profile
[14:19] <sebastianlutter> Zerock|LittleRed, I feel the same way
[14:19] <ikonia> AlexeyPetrenko: you basically just do a "loadmod" in theh xorg.conf, but I'll need to check the info as I'm working from memory and not %100 sure I'm right
[14:19] <Zerock|LittleRed> sebastianlutter: I actually run Trisquel Mini on this machine.
[14:20] <Zerock|LittleRed> Ubuntu at work, and Parabola at home.
[14:20] <wadie> what do you mean not persistent ? :O how can I create that script ?
[14:20] <EriC^^> wadie: the last command btw for xrandr to switch the resolution is xrandr -s 1600x1200
[14:20] <wadie> I used xrandr VGA1 1600x1200 and it worked
[14:20] <EriC^^> wadie: yes also xrandr --output VGA1 1600x1200 works
[14:21] <wadie> so about that script
[14:21] <wadie> what does it include
[14:21] <sebastianlutter> Zerock|LittleRed, if all that ipv4 subnet / firewall / masquerating stuff would be replaced by ipv6 (a global accessible ip for any device) I guess VNC would do what I want.
[14:21] <EriC^^> take the commands and put them in a file, call it something, then chmod +x <script>
[14:22] <Zerock|LittleRed> sebastianlutter: Out of curiosity, what do you need the software for?
[14:22] <EriC^^> and in ~/.profile add "bash <script>"
[14:22] <wadie> you mean the xrandr things ?
[14:22] <EriC^^> wadie: yeah
[14:22] <Zerock|LittleRed> I did things the hard (read: easy) way, and switched my friends and family to GNU+Linux so I could use ssh.
[14:22] <wadie> so I'll create a bash script with the xrandr commands, move it to ~/.profile then chmod +x
[14:23] <EriC^^> wadie: put it anywhere you want, add the path to ~/.profile , bash /path/to/script
[14:23] <sebastianlutter> Zerock|LittleRed, my setup involves a gentoo with i3 wm and a ubuntu 14.04. I have a crawler for an research project running on my office ubuntu box. But I need about an hour from home to the office, and want to check If everything is well (and maybe restart things) without beeing forced to go there.
[14:23] <EriC^^> wadie: if you want you can call it ~/.resolution.sh so it'll be hidden
[14:24] <sebastianlutter> Zerock|LittleRed, it has some GUI elements, so ssh alone does not solve my problem, so VNC or something like this is needed
[14:27] <HoNgOuRu> hi, my system freezes sometimes after hitting the /home/user folder icon, sometimes it comes back to normality, some others don't.... my home folder /home is in an independent partition from the system.... should I check the partition for disk errors ? or what? I am running ubuntu 14.04... any help will be appreciated...btw, the system / was reformatted yesterday cause I had some laggy situations before...
[14:31] <wadie> Eric can you link me to a documentation online because I'm not really sure I'm doing it right
[14:31] <roamer> EriC^^ : sorry for late reply my internet connection was gone. can you please tell me the next step after apt-get install?
[14:32] <drmagoo> HoNgOuRu: sounds like disc issues, so a check would be a good idea
[14:33] <Abhijit> pppoe-setup says pppoe.conf not found. i did apt-get install pppoe but package is already installed. can not connect to dnl
[14:36] <HoNgOuRu> drmagoo, ok... do I have to be root? have the /home unmounted?
[14:36] <Abhijit> pppoeconf gives SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
[14:36] <adriennbox> hi everyone, i have no more mouse and internet on ubuntu 14.04
[14:36] <adriennbox> somebody know why?
[14:38] <varunendra> Abhijit, does this system have Network Manager installed? You can use that to set up a DSL connection.
[14:38] <Abhijit> varunendra, networkmanager also does not connect. hence I am here in irc.
[14:38] <LainProtocol7> adriennbox: 14.04 doesn't support mice or internet
[14:38] <drmagoo> HoNgOuRu: how proficient are you with linux ? For the best result you should boot from a livecd and run the scan from that.. Unless you are running some sort of encryption on that directory/disc
[14:38] <varunendra> adriennbox, since when do you have these absent?
[14:39] <adriennbox> since 3 days
[14:39] <HoNgOuRu> drmagoo, ok, I got it... I'll do that... shall I use fsck ?
[14:39] <adriennbox> i can reinstall but i dont want to lose file
[14:39] <varunendra> Abhijit, is the interface up? And are you trying this over wireless?
[14:39] <Abhijit> varunendra, for pppoe i got only ethernet cable. modem do not support mifi.
[14:40] <adriennbox> lainprotocol17 really? so i have to use another version?
[14:40] <adriennbox> wich version?
[14:40] <Abhijit> varunendra, this is for railwire btw
[14:40] <EriC^^> roamer: sorry, im back
[14:40] <EriC^^> roamer: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[14:40] <HoNgOuRu> drmagoo, can I just logout from this session log as root unmount /home and do the same ?
[14:40] <varunendra> adriennbox, just ignore the "doesn't support" comment.
[14:40] <adriennbox> ok
[14:40] <EriC^^> wadie: sorry
[14:40] <EriC^^> wadie: can you pastebin your script?
[14:41] <varunendra> adriennbox, did it happen after an update or any particular development?
[14:41] <HoNgOuRu> roamer, I did that just yesterday
[14:41] <roamer> EriC^^ : welcome back, I have done as you asked no errors reported
[14:41] <HoNgOuRu> roamer, if you need a hand...
[14:41] <adriennbox> varunendra i dont remember sorry... but i use live ubuntu
[14:41] <adriennbox> my sister used live ubuntu instead
[14:41] <EriC^^> wadie: ~/.profile is a file, not a directory, add "bash ~/.resolution.sh" to the end of the file, if you named your script .resolution.sh in your home directory
[14:42] <varunendra> Abhijit, the "rfkill" thing only interferes with wireless devices. So that error is a bit confusing for me.
[14:42] <roamer> EriC^^ : what is the next step?
[14:42] <drmagoo> HoNgOuRu: I usually run it from a livecd, so that I am sure that there is nothing blocking/using that drive..
[14:42] <EriC^^> roamer: update-grub
[14:42] <HoNgOuRu> drmagoo, ok
[14:42] <varunendra> adriennbox, Live Ubuntu with persistence? (can preserve changes?)
[14:42] <HoNgOuRu> drmagoo, ok, thank you
[14:42] <roamer> EriC^^ : so finished that too
[14:43] <roamer> EriC^^ : next?
[14:43] <EriC^^> roamer: grep -i highlight /etc/default/grub
[14:43] <EriC^^> roamer: does it return anything?
[14:44] <adriennbox> varunendra i guess no
[14:44] <varunendra> Abhijit, please give us a little detail of your setup. Generally, it is a telephone cable from the ISP that plugs into a DLS modem, then an Ethernet cable from the modem to the computer/network-switch
[14:44] <adriennbox> live ubuntu without save
[14:44] <roamer> EriC^^ : no it doesn't
[14:44] <EriC^^> roamer: ok, try sudo reboot
[14:44] <EriC^^> exit first
[14:45] <varunendra> adriennbox, if it can't save changes, then it boots with the default configuration everytime. Which means if it was working earlier, it should work on next boot too, unless there is a hardware change.
[14:45] <adriennbox> hmm
[14:45] <adriennbox> so i have to try normal boot after live boot?
[14:45] <Abhijit> varunendra, this is nothing to do with telephone. direct fibre optic cable. then modem. then rj45
[14:45] <Abhijit> varunendra, nothing else in the setup.
[14:45] <adriennbox> varunendra so i have to try normal boot after live boot?
[14:45] <roamer> EriC^^ : Same problem back in to grub rescue>
[14:46] <roamer> EriC^^ : :(
[14:46] <varunendra> adriennbox, please be specific on where you are having the problem - on a Live session or an installed instance (Ubuntu installed and running from Hard Disk)?
[14:46] <adriennbox> varuendnra it run from harddisk
[14:47] <adriennbox> varunendra after saw the problems (no mouse and no internet) i put the DVD and did live boot
[14:47] <varunendra> Abhijit, I'm not familiar with optic fibre connections, but is it different from a regular DSL connection where you need to dial the connection using a username and password?
[14:48] <varunendra> adriennbox, and the problem is same in both the Live session and the installed one?
[14:48] <Abhijit> varunendra, no different. its just dsl only.
[14:48] <adriennbox> varunendra nope, live session work very well (mouse and internet) but run from hard ware no mouse and no internet...
[14:49] <EriC^^> roamer: if you press esc when the pc boots
[14:50] <EriC^^> do you get a boot options menu
