[01:21] <arraybolt3[m]> RikMills: guiverc mentioned that maybe having some windows open might be a good idea, so I can do that too.
[03:11] <arraybolt3[m]> RikMills: OK, here's a second Kubuntu screenshot.
[03:11]  * arraybolt3[m] uploaded an image: (1267KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/NImxyYeyMWSrYOHRBkzaieFV/image.png >
[03:12] <arraybolt3[m]> The one thing I can think of that might be wrong with this one is that I moved the KInfoCenter window partially off the screen so that the wallpaper showed through better. Not sure if that's a problem or not.
[10:27] <RikMills> aar
[10:27] <RikMills> whoops
[10:27] <RikMills> arraybolt3[m]: yeah, I don't like that :/

[15:20] <RikMills> arraybolt3[m]: https://people.ubuntu.com/~rikmills/images/Screenshot_20220821_161132.png
[15:20] <RikMills> imgur did odd things to it
[16:10] <arraybolt3[m]> RikMills: Nice, is that the shot we want to use? (I tried capturing the menu on Lubuntu and couldn't do it, interesting that Kubuntu let it work.)
[16:11] <RikMills> had to set the screenshot on a delay, THEN open the menu
[16:11] <RikMills> we can use that one, yes
[16:11] <arraybolt3[m]> Ah, clever trick, I'll remember it.


[18:46] <bishops> burmph: i hope that I don't have to reinstall everything now..
[18:46] <pragmaticenigma> ioria, Guest59680 likely ran "chmod -R 777 /var"
[18:46] <MonkeyDust> 777, ouch
[18:47] <ioria> Guest59680,  you used -R ?
[18:47] <Guest59680> ioria and pragmaticenigma: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843122/
[18:47] <TJ-> BBLLCC: reboot, hold Shift down to get GRUB menu, highlight the boot entry and press 'E' to edit it... navigate to the line beginning "linux ..." navigate to the end of the line and add "  acpi_os_name="Windows 2001.1"  " then press F10 to boot with that option. Once booted try a shutdown and see if it powers off correctly. If it does, you can add that setting permanently to "/etc/default/grub" and its GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX string, and then do "sudo update-grub" to a
[18:47] <TJ-> dd that to GRUB's boot config.
[18:47] <Guest59680> ioria: Yes, I used -R . A LOT. I'm a moron =[
[18:48] <MonkeyDust> Guest59680  no, you're a beginner, that's not the same
[18:48] <BBLLCC> holies
[18:48] <Guest59680> MonkeyDust: ;) thanks friend!
[18:48] <pragmaticenigma> MonkeyDust, you wouldn't believe the number of sites saying you should set the permission to 777 for your webserver folder
[18:48] <ioria> mmm... seems you changed only www ....
[18:49] <pragmaticenigma> MonkeyDust, instead of properly adding the user to the www-data group which is way easier
[18:50] <Guest59680> ioria: good, then if it seems that way perhaps Keyodake's answer worked (http://askubuntu.com/questions/548395/accidentally-overwrote-permissions-on-var-lib-recursively)
[18:50] <ioria> Guest59680,  can you paste ls -al /var/log too ?
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> pragmaticenigma  yes, but chmod 777 is 'fast n easy'
[18:50] <BBLLCC> TJ-, if this works, does it mean im gonna have to manually edit every kernel upgrade?
[18:51] <TJ-> BBLLCC: no, if it works and you add it to "/etc/default/grub" that setting will be attached to every kernel entry every time a new kernel is installed and GRUB reconfigured
 http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843156/
[18:51] <BBLLCC> TJ-, brb
[18:53] <ablegreen_w> So I set up SSH keys between so I can login without a password. However, when I execute ssh as root (after doing sudo su), it prompts for the password
[18:53] <ablegreen_w> How do I fix this?
 oh yeah I gauruntee that I ran "chmod -R 777 /var"
[18:53] <ioria> Guest59680,  yep, a little mess, i think
 = / , would you reinstall if you were me? I mean, it took me like 15 hours to setup what I have so far, but it was a learning process so I bet I could do it muchhhh faster if I had to do it again
[18:55] <ioria> Guest59680,  really don't know... owners seem ok, just the rwx stuff
[18:56] <ioria> Guest59680,  what's not working , exactly ?
 Well, everything seems like it is working fine. I read somewhere that what I did changed permissions on many many files, and that it could pose serious security threats and vulnerabilities. I have a gut feeling that I will regret it down the road if I don't do a clean install.
[18:57] <sirsomewhatFancy> Well, this could pose a security issue, but it doesn't sound like it would be grounds for a reinstall even if that were the case.
[18:57] <ioria> Guest59680,  that's true.  but why did you change the permissions ?
[18:58] <SCHAAP137> chmod 777 is bad
[18:58] <sirsomewhatFancy> Yes.
[18:58] <SCHAAP137> don't ever do that again
[18:58] <sirsomewhatFancy> But unless you are logging on to every public wifi network within 10 miles, it shouldn't be TOO big a problem.
[18:58] <sundose> Guest59680 permission bug work if you create an app with a bug
[18:58] <sirsomewhatFancy> It just means extra care is required.
 I was frustrated with my website showing 403 Forbidden, and was trying every solution I could find, probably not the brightest Idea.
[18:59] <sirsomewhatFancy> So to be clear, are these files everything in / (root folder) or just somewhere in your home folder?
[18:59] <sirsomewhatFancy> Yeah, maybe not.
[18:59] <ioria> Guest59680,  as you said it was for learning
[18:59] <sirsomewhatFancy> The quickest way is to purge the server and reinstall.
[19:00] <sirsomewhatFancy> That's if it were for education.
 I believe just /var I don't think I messed with root. and ^^ that's what I was thinking, reinstall.
[19:00] <SCHAAP137> chmod 777 should be considered an extremely temporary last resort, in case of a real emergency, with people almost dying unless a piece of data is accessed
[19:00] <sirsomewhatFancy> So to be clear, you changed everything in /var in order to fix a server bug?
[19:00] <sundose> chmod 777 not equal chmod a+x
 I did some commands like "sudo -i chmod -Rf 755 /var/lib" and it fixed the sudo issues, but I just don't feel like it was a "Fix all"
 Yes, I believe so, sir. I'm not the sharpest ubuntu beginner.
 That's OK. I've made those mistakes too.
[19:02] <MonkeyDust> !tab | Guest59680 sirsomewhatFancy
 Wil remember that! thanks =D
[19:03] <SCHAAP137> hehe, cool Guest59680, yw
[19:03] <Guest59680> ubottu: Oh thank you, did I do it right?
[19:03] <sirsomewhatFancy> ubottu: does this work in Xchat?
[19:03] <Guest59680> Wow I feel stupid now.
[19:03] <ioria> Guest59680, it's not easy by hand re-chmod all those files .... different permissions...
[19:03] <sirsomewhatFancy> Haha. I'm new to IRC so that's actually really funny.
[19:03] <SCHAAP137> yes it works in xchat as well, sirsomewhatFancy
[19:04] <SCHAAP137> and mIRC, and irssi
[19:04] <SCHAAP137> and pbly others too
[19:05] <sirsomewhatFancy> My suggestion is to re-install the kernel and check to see if any of the file permissions have changed. I have no clue whether this will work, but that will take care of some of the worst damage that could have happened.
[19:05] <Guest59680> ioria: I understand, well you have been a tremendous help friend! I have decided to go ahead and reinstall and start over! Good learning experience I suppose!
[19:06] <sirsomewhatFancy> Guest59680, I think that just reinstalling packages as needed for security (openssl, gnutls, kernel, anything that deals with networking) should do the trick.
[19:06] <Guest59680> sirsomewhatFancy: great help as well thank you sir!
[19:06] <sirsomewhatFancy> Guest59680, That does sound quicker.
[19:06] <ioria> Guest59680, ok
[19:06] <sirsomewhatFancy> Guest59680, not sure exactly how you would get everything with my method, that's the main problem.
[19:06] <Guest59680> All you guys are awesome, thank you so much for your time and brain power!
[19:07] <sirsomewhatFancy> Guest59680, glad to help!
[19:10] <pragmaticenigma> Guess they left
[19:10] <pragmaticenigma> :-(
[19:11] <sirsomewhatFancy> Still here. (still alive)
[19:11] <sirsomewhatFancy> Sorry, that's for the portal IRC. or whatever.
[19:12] <bbroadstone> I am trying to install codeblocks, i tried this and get this
[19:12] <bbroadstone> erkburgles@erkburgles-Inspiron-3451:~/Downloads/debian-stable/amd64$ sudo dpkg -i codeblocks_13.12-1_all.deb

[19:12] <bbroadstone> Errors were encountered while processing:
[19:12] <bbroadstone>  codeblocks_13.12-1_all.deb
[19:12] <sirsomewhatFancy> Try going to packages.ubuntu.com and downloading and installing the .deb hosted there.
[19:13] <sirsomewhatFancy> bbroadstone, I have had this problem too. Try clearing your apt cache while you're at it. I don't remember the solution though, it was ages ago!
[19:13] <bbroadstone> ok, just curious, is there a way for me to troubl
[19:13] <bbroadstone> ok
[19:13] <bbroadstone> how to clear apt cache
[19:14] <sirsomewhatFancy> bbroadstone, I'll check. Can't remember exactly.
[19:14] <bbroadstone> oh, thats ok ill go google hunting, thanks for your help
[19:14] <sirsomewhatFancy> bbroadstone, sudo apt-get clean
[19:14] <bbroadstone> nice ty
[19:14] <sirsomewhatFancy> That should do the trick.
[19:15] <sirsomewhatFancy> bbroadstone, there are a number of things which could cause this. Also check for dependency problems while you're at it.
[19:15] <bbroadstone> i think i downloaded and installed the only dependency necessary but ok
[19:16] <pwca> hi, I am using Ubuntu 15.04 and for some reason I get the following error "fatal error: hdf5.h: No such file or directory" when attempting to build a package. I thought I had installed hdf5 properly?
[19:16] <sirsomewhatFancy> bbroadstone, APT should do it automatically, but if there's a problem maybe it doesn't quite communicate right.
[19:16] <pwca> is there anything here I am missing? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdf5
[19:16] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca, are you sure you installed the dev package AND the library?
[19:17] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca, libhdf5-dev looks right, but I don't know your purpose.
[19:17] <pwca> sirsomewhatFancy: well, I want to compile something that needs hdf5.h.
[19:17] <pwca> I installed libhdf5-dev.
[19:17] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca: Just hdf5 will give you just the library no build utils.
[19:18] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca: try now then.
[19:18] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca: should work now.
[19:18] <pwca> now?
[19:18] <sirsomewhatFancy> yes
[19:18] <pwca> I had already installed libhdf5-dev.
[19:18] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca: what program are you trying to build?
[19:18] <pwca> sirsomewhatFancy: caffe.
[19:19] <pwca> sirsomewhatFancy: http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html
[19:19] <pwca> sirsomewhatFancy: they have specific Ubuntu dependencies that I have already installed.
[19:20] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca: sometimes they don't mention one. Look back a bit in the term output and tell me if there are any errors.
[19:20] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca: I wish I could help more here.
[19:20] <mongoose78> hello, why do i get system problem messages after a while i install 14.04? does anyone knows how to fix that?
[19:20] <BBLLCC> TJ-, it worked. now I have to sudo thunar the path you mentioned /etc/default/grub , search for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and add exactly that "acpi_os_name="Windows 2001.1" to it
[19:20] <BBLLCC> right?
[19:20] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca: check the version too. That's sometimes a problem.
[19:20] <pwca> sirsomewhatFancy: the only error appears to be the missing hdf5.h file.
[19:21] <mongoose78> i update and upgrade system everyday
[19:21] <SCHAAP137> just recompiled my ircd and webserver with the new LibreSSL
[19:21] <sirsomewhatFancy> mongoose78: I get those too. I don't remember exactly how this gets rid of them, but I think installing an alternate flavor of ubuntu (Kubuntu works best) alongside by installing kubuntu-desktop should help. (maybe)
[19:21] <mongoose78> still get those messages
[19:22] <dannato> 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller
[19:22] <dannato>  file mpa vga how settings??
[19:22] <dannato> file mp4
[19:22] <mongoose78> you dont get those in kubuntu?
[19:22] <sirsomewhatFancy> dannato: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[19:22] <dannato> no
[19:23] <sirsomewhatFancy> mongoose78, it suppresses most of them, yes.
[19:23] <dannato> only mplayer and smlayer
[19:23] <sirsomewhatFancy> mongoose78, they become notifications.
[19:23] <mongoose78> thank you for your help
[19:23] <sirsomewhatFancy> dannato, those two are oddballs. Still, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[19:24] <mongoose78> im going to try install kubuntu on my other LT
[19:24] <sirsomewhatFancy> dannato, if not, [CTRL] [ALT] [T], then type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras.
[19:24] <BBLLCC> TJ-, please check if this looks fine. And, what do I do with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843367/
[19:24] <sirsomewhatFancy> mongoose78, that will of course give you KDE instead of Unity, but it may be worth a shot.
[19:24] <dannato> ok
[19:25] <dannato> im using xubuntu 14.04 lts
[19:26] <sirsomewhatFancy> dannato: that doesn't really matter, but if you feel more comfortable, try xubuntu-restricted-extras or lubuntu-restricted-extras. The only difference between Xubuntu and Ubuntu is the desktop it uses. They can literally be installed on top of each other.
[19:26] <sirsomewhatFancy> dannato: with no modification to either one.
[19:26] <SCHAAP137> i can highly recommend MATE as well
[19:27] <sirsomewhatFancy> SCHAAP137, that won't solve his problem. But yes, you can use that too on top of everything else, given disk space
[19:27] <sirsomewhatFancy> SCHAAP137, I like Mate too.
[19:27] <dannato> when you view the file mp4 seen slow
[19:27] <dannato> i have installed
[19:28] <pwca> sirsomewhatFancy: seems like I found a possible fix: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/caffe-users/cdyqjNpoFRY
[19:28] <sirsomewhatFancy> dannato, that sounds like a video card error. I don't know what model integrated graphics you have. Is this AMD, Intel, other???
[19:28] <pwca> sirsomewhatFancy: trying it now.
[19:28] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca: awesome! Good luck!
[19:28] <pwca> thanks for the help!
[19:28] <sirsomewhatFancy> pwca: anytime!
[19:30] <MeMeMe> hey guys, I just got a new Lenovo Yoga 11, Loaded Ubuntu 14 and everythings seems to be working great, touch pad works, screen rotation and what not. However, I can't seem to find the wireless driver and I was wondering if anyone knows where i could find it, or perhaps point me in a better direction. Thank You! =)
[19:30] <rypervenche> MeMeMe: sudo lcpci -nn | grep Network
[19:30] <sirsomewhatFancy> MeMeMe, What kind of wifi card? These laptops and tablets often have more than one model.
[19:30] <sirsomewhatFancy> MeMeMe, essentially what rypervenche said.
[19:31] <rypervenche> MeMeMe: Please provide us with that output.
[19:31] <Sparchitect> sirsomewhatFancy: HEY! IT's Guest59680, from a couple minutes ago (going to reinstall ubuntu because I used chmod 777 -R). I just had a quick question: Should I go ahead and install Ubuntu Server instead of Ubuntu Desktop this time? I mean, its a seperate computer that I put together just for this purpose.
[19:32] <MeMeMe> my bad, its the third edition. The specs on the website say: Bluetooth® 4.0, 802.11 A/C WiFi
[19:32] <MonkeyDust> Sparchitect  then use server, but mind: it's an installer, not a live session
[19:32] <sirsomewhatFancy> Sparchitect, if you want a desktop-less install, that's what you should go for. Be prepared to switch back though ;)
[19:33] <dannato> is intel but is very old 2007
[19:33] <dannato> the problem is that is old maybe
[19:33] <rypervenche> MeMeMe: The command that I sent you will give us the information we need to proceed. :)
[19:33] <sirsomewhatFancy> MeMeMe, That still doesn't answer the question too well. In each generation, there are many sub models. They all have 802.11 A/C, etc. If you can find the exact model number of the card, that would be very helpful. Again, like rypervenche said, run sudo lspci -nn | grep Network in a terminal, and paste the output here and we can help.
[19:34] <Sparchitect> MonkeyDust & sirsomewhatFancy: Bah, okay cool, I'm going with desktop then ;] thanks again!
[19:34] <ioria> MeMeMe, you have to run sudo lcpci -nn | grep Network in terminal and paste the output on paste.ubuntu.com  and give us the url
[19:34] <sirsomewhatFancy> dannato: it just sounds out of date. Sometimes a lighter system helps, like using lubuntu instead of Xubuntu. I know that this is an Ubuntu discussion, but that computer may need Puppy Linux or something similar to run smoothly with video.
[19:36] <anonymous> hello
[19:37] <sirsomewhatFancy> Switching to laptop, now somefancy!
[19:37] <anonymous> hey friends
[19:37] <anonymous> can anyone tell me how to hack emails
[19:37] <MeMeMe> 02:00.0 Netwrok controller {0280]: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:003e] (rev 20)
[19:37] <rawm> lol
[19:37] <dannato> so the problem is not player but my hold system?
[19:37] <rawm> 685*-
[19:37] <DJones> anonymous: No
[19:37] <dannato> thank you soo much
[19:38] <somefancy> dannato: I think it is. Sorry
[19:38] <dannato> puppy linux??
[19:38] <dannato> who is?
[19:38] <anonymous> ok  then can anyone tell me about how to hack a website
[19:38] <rawm> anonymous, tell me your password and ill show you how to hack
[19:38] <somefancy> dannato: Puppy Linux is another linux distrubution. The whole thing fits into about 200 megabytes and is extremely efficent on older hardware.
[19:38] <bubbasaures> anonymous, Say hello to the NSA as you ask this, and break the channel topic.
[19:39] <dannato> thank you good evening soo much
[19:40] <somefancy> dannato: I am running it right now on an '03 Dell Inspiron 6000 and it is a big speed boost for those older ones big distros can't do. That said, it's confusing and not best for someone inexperienced. So, if you are not comefortable reading the text on screen for a while, stick with Ubuntu stuff!
[19:40] <teward> is there an easy way to tell what init system is in place, whether it's sysvinit, systemd, or upstart, on a system in a one-liner?
[19:40] <somefancy> dannato: but yes, all the instructions are on screen usually.
[19:40] <somefancy> teward: look at how to enable and disable services. They all do this differently.
[19:41] <rawm> @anonymous Seriously, if you want to learn how to "hack" no one has the time to do all that. Thats quite a huge order your placing. Buy some books or take some classes.
[19:42] <teward> somefancy: that's not why i need to know?
[19:42] <teward> somefancy: i need to know for a system info gathering script, not to manage services
[19:43] <BBLLCC> can anyone please check if this looks fine. And, what do I do with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843367/
[19:43] <somefancy> teward: each of these has their own system for services. Checking which one will tell you which init scripts you are using and the like which tells you whether you are using systemd, upstart, etc.
[19:44] <ioria> teward    something like this ? ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart
[19:45] <somefancy> ioria teward that looks good, but it will not work if there's sysvinit because it doesn't check for that.
[19:45] <somefancy> ioria teward that is almost it, but it would call that upstart.
[19:45] <ioria> just add it :-)
[19:45] <Bashing-om> teward: Maybe something like ' ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart ' ?
[19:46] <somefancy> ioria, unfortunately I don't quite know how systemv works.
[19:46] <teward> somefancy: if theres nothing returned from the command, then its safe to assume sysvinit
[19:46] <teward> i think
[19:46] <ioria> teward    something like this ? ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart || echo something else
[19:46] <somefancy> Bashing-om, already suggested.
[19:46] <Bashing-om> somefancy: Yeah, I slow on the uptake. yuk .
[19:46] <somefancy> teward, if it's not systemd, it says upstart. The or will not work without another test.
[19:47] <Phil> hi
[19:47] <Phil> chmod: cannot access `/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules': No such file or directory
[19:47] <somefancy> Bashing-om, that's ok.
[19:47] <Phil> thas my problem , chmod: cannot access `/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules': No such file or directory
[19:47] <Guest37522> my problem is , chmod: cannot access `/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules': No such file or directory
[19:47] <somefancy> Phil, check that it is there
[19:47] <cryptodan_laptop> Guest37522: can you go there and see if that file even exists
[19:47] <Guest37522> it doenst exist
[19:48] <Guest37522> i wanna create it
[19:48] <Guest37522> im admin but it doesnt make me able to create it
[19:48] <teward> ioria: somefancy: that's allllllmost it, but systemd has an extra line of output
[19:48] <somefancy> Guest37522 you need to have a file there. Use nano or leafpad or gedit.
[19:48] <ioria> ouch
[19:48] <teward> (the ps output still shows up)
[19:48] <OerHeks> sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules && ls -la /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
[19:48] <somefancy> Guest37522, at the very least just use touch
[19:49] <Guest37522> thnx
[19:49] <somefancy> Like OerHeks just suggested. Thanks.
[19:49] <somefancy> There is a way to do this teward ioria
[19:50] <somefancy> how do you difinitively check for just systemv? (teward, ioria)
[19:50] <somefancy> ioria Once you have that, just add it to the first or.
[19:51] <somefancy> ioria being right after the first || I mean.

[19:52] <BBLLCC> TJ-, ?
[19:52] <BBLLCC> somefancy,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843367/
[19:53] <ioria> teward    maybe this : http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/18209/detect-init-system-using-the-shell
[19:53] <ioria> somefancy, [[ -f /etc/init.d/cron && ! -h /etc/init.d/cron ]] && echo yes
[19:54] <ioria> somefancy, this for system V
[19:55] <bbroadstone> is sirsomewhatFancy still around?
[19:55] <somefancy> ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || [[ -f /etc/init.d/cron && ! -h /etc/init.d/cron ]] && echo yes || echo upstart
[19:55] <somefancy> might do it.
[19:55] <somefancy> bbroadstone that's me, switched to laptop
[19:55] <bbroadstone> ah k k
[19:55] <ioria> yep
[19:56] <Guest37522> somefancy , /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
[19:56] <teward> somefancy: ehh, not important anymore, i'll find some way to succeed.  in the current case with that code it prints the ps output, 'systemd', and 'yes', so ehh
[19:56] <teward> irrelevant now.
[19:56] <Guest37522> how do i write to the file?
[19:57] <somefancy> Guest37522, what do you intend to do here?
[19:58] <OerHeks> Guest37522, that is easy >> sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
[19:58] <Guest37522> i intend to SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="054c", MODE="0666"
[19:58] <Guest37522> somefancy i wanna write this line of code in the file , SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="054c", MODE="0666"
[19:59] <Guest37522> only that simple line of code , SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="054c", MODE="0666"
[19:59] <eb0t> you can just open the file and write it using vim
[19:59] <Guest37522> how im neewbie
[19:59] <Guest37522> HOW? , Im a neewbie
[19:59] <somefancy> Guest37522, nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules and type that line
[19:59] <somefancy> in a terminal
[19:59] <Guest37522> tnhx
[19:59] <somefancy> using sudo before that.
[19:59] <eb0t> vi /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
[20:00] <eb0t> do su first
[20:00] <somefancy> vi works too, but it's not good for beginners neccesarily.
[20:00] <eb0t> switch user to root
[20:00] <eb0t> then enter root password
[20:00] <eb0t> the vi ..........................
[20:00] <somefancy> eb0t su doesn't work in ubuntu. use sudo bash
[20:00] <eb0t> ah ok
[20:00] <bekks> eb0t: BY default, Ubuntu has no root password.
[20:00] <eb0t> why
[20:00] <somefancy> eb0t, there's a better way than that with sudo but I can't remember it.
[20:00] <bekks> !root | eb0t
[20:00] <eb0t> then do sudo vi .....................................
[20:00] <somefancy> eb0t to protect the account. No one password to rule them all.
[20:01] <eb0t> on my system im always in root
[20:01] <somefancy> eb0t you can create one if you really feel you need to with sudo passwd root
[20:01] <Taz3r> boot on grub and change root password
[20:01] <eb0t> how could i get anything done if i wasnt
[20:01] <somefancy> eb0t like mine! puppy linux
[20:01] <bekks> eb0t: Which can be safely considered as bad habbit.
[20:01] <eb0t> not a bad habbit
[20:01] <eb0t> its just easy to get stuff done by switching to root
[20:02] <eb0t> and then you can exit after
[20:02] <bubbasaures> lol
[20:02] <bekks> You dont need root for your daily work.
[20:02] <eb0t> i do
[20:02] <somefancy> eb0t yes, just be careful with internet apps. There is wisdom to puppy's run-as-spot command.
[20:02] <bekks> No one does.
[20:02] <somefancy> I do too.
[20:02] <eb0t> lots of us do
[20:02] <bbroadstone> somefancy, it's funny, I was about to ask you all sorts of dumb questions here, but as I approached hitting enter something made me figure it out on my own
[20:02] <somefancy> I do a lot of formatting and partitioning work in administrating and repairing friends' computers almost daily.
[20:02] <bbroadstone> heh
[20:03] <bekks> eb0t: Which still is  discouraged, especially for newbies.
[20:03] <somefancy> bbroadstone, Good! good luck!
[20:03] <eb0t> cool
[20:03] <bbroadstone> ty
[20:03] <bbroadstone> but you helped me out too so thanks!
[20:03] <eb0t> newbies should live in root and learn all the stuff you can do
[20:03] <bekks> newbies should NOT live in root.
[20:03] <eb0t> even if it messes their system up they can reinstall and go again
[20:03] <eb0t> thats how you learn
[20:03] <bekks> eb0t: This isnt Windows.
[20:04] <eb0t> well its pretty close
[20:04] <Tex_Nick> lol
[20:04] <bekks> eb0t: You dont learn to not shoot your feet by shooting them.
[20:04] <eb0t> ubuntu is pretty darn close to windows
[20:04] <somefancy> eb0t not true. I broke my system so many times with admin in ubuntu years ago you don't even want to know. My dad hated me for it because he knew how to reinstall and didn't trust me with that power on the family pc.
[20:04] <eb0t> because you should use a proper distro
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> eb0t  yes, if you run everything as root
[20:04] <eb0t> not a windows like distro
[20:04] <bekks> eb0t: So dont use root, and you dont have a Windows like distro.
[20:05] <eb0t> no i dont have a windows like distro
[20:05] <eb0t> and i run root every day
[20:05] <eb0t> at times
[20:05] <somefancy> I find Windows' auth thingy to be wierd. They focus on a smooth desktop, then the whole screen goes black whenever something needs permission for a split second! better to do that in boot then in the desktop like Linux
[20:05] <MonkeyDust> eb0t  great, but stick to support questions here
[20:05] <eb0t> why
[20:05] <eb0t> the guy wants to know what to do
[20:05] <bekks> somefancy: You can easily disable that, but thats for out of support in here.
[20:05] <somefancy> eb0t it is a support forum.
[20:05] <julian-delphiki> eb0t: you're being a bit spammy. This is the ubuntu support channel.
[20:05] <eb0t> and he needs root
[20:05] <davidmichaelkarr> Still trying to figure out "virt-install".  I finally constructed what I think is a valid command line, but it just sits there. It's been "working" for 20 minutes or so now, with no obvious results.
[20:06] <davidmichaelkarr> Here's what I see so far:
[20:06] <davidmichaelkarr> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/Om5qVNQ2/
[20:06] <bekks> eb0t: And he already was told how to solve his issue.
[20:06] <eb0t> you guys get upset because you are not safe in root
[20:06] <julian-delphiki> eb0t: please stick to support questions and answers. And try to keep your comments as a single line, rather than using enter as punctuation.
[20:06] <MonkeyDust> eb0t  we're used to attacks, don't worry... now go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:07] <eb0t> im not worried
[20:07] <MonkeyDust> eb0t  stop
[20:08] <BBLLCC> TJ-, ?
[20:10] <TJ-> BBLLCC: I'm back from dinner now. Your edit has unbalanced double-quotes. I think it needs to be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_os_name='Windows 2001.1'  "  - notice the *single* quotes surrounding the text because it contains a space
[20:11] <shadow2555> hi
[20:11] <eb0t> hi
[20:11] <shadow2555> is anyone on
[20:11] <eb0t> how can i help you
[20:12] <bubbasaures> about 1700
[20:12] <TJ-> BBLLCC: However, it may need to be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="  'acpi_os_name=Windows 2001.1'  "  - the quotes surround the entire option here... this may be the way the kernel needs to see it, since it reads its command line and splits arguments at spaces. Without the quotes the command would be seen as 2 separate arguments
[20:12] <somefancy> shadow2555, what's your trouble?
[20:12] <somefancy> Just as he quits. Sorry all
[20:14] <BBLLCC> TJ-, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_os_name='Windows 2001.1'" << did the thing thanks a lot again!!!
[20:15] <BBLLCC> TJ-,  do I need to get rid of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" ?
[20:15] <AqD> does everyone have issue with nvidia properietary driver in 15.04? first I have to add a boot option to disable fb, and then it seems much slower than nouveau when compiz is on
[20:16] <TJ-> BBLLCC: no, the two are combined by update-grub  ... the latter one is for additional options for the GUI boot entry that don't get added to the Recovery option
[20:16] <AqD> games run fine with it though, but vdpau sucks too
[20:16] <BBLLCC> ok, thx
[20:16] <TJ-> BBLLCC: Are you saying that the setting has fixed your shutdown power-off issue?
[20:16] <somefancy> AqD this depends on your video card. Are you using AMD?
[20:16] <BBLLCC> TJ-, adding that to GRUB worked. Now Im gonna check if permanently adding it to etc/default/grub works
[20:17] <somefancy> AqD Sorry, stupid question.
[20:17] <AqD> somefancy: it's gtx 760, shouldn't have problem :(
[20:17] <TJ-> BBLLCC: Oh fantastic - I'm so pleased, because solving this kind of issue is usually a BIG long frustrating job!
[20:17] <AqD> is there an alternative compositor to compiz & unity? should I use kde or xfce instead?
[20:18] <somefancy> AqD do you have a problem with the oss drivers? I like NVidia's drivers generally, but I don't have any cards on hand.
[20:18] <somefancy> AqD Try kubuntu-desktop, it's a full desktop environment
[20:18] <AqD> somefancy, not really but nvidia's driver had always been reliable and fast
[20:19] <AqD> somefancy, can I just switch to kde on ubuntu, without having to install  kubuntu??
[20:19] <somefancy> AqD That will install the base apps too and ubuntu optimizations for Kubuntu. And the reliable and fast argument is true. Maybe they just haven't updated it yet? I'm using 14.04 for oss support of my AMD HD 4700, maybe that is your best option too?
[20:19] <somefancy> AqD look for a package called kubuntu-desktop and install it. This will leave your system intact and install KDE.
[20:20] <AqD> I see! thx!
[20:20] <TJ-> AqD: if it seems slower are you positive the nvidia driver is actually in use, rather than software rendering? "glxinfo | grep 'direct rendering'  " should tell you
[20:20]  * AqD bought nvidia card for linux........
[20:20] <AqD> TJ-, yes
[20:20] <TJ-> AqD: are you using the nvidia-340 series driver?
[20:20] <AqD> TJ-, and games run fast, vdpau is also on though it's slow (high cpu usage)
[20:20] <AqD> TJ-, yes
[20:21] <somefancy> AqD it sounds like TJ- is the one to ask about this. sorry I couldn't help more, but my experience with video cards is sparse!
[20:21] <TJ-> AqD: very strange... is that the only GPU in the system?
[20:21] <AqD> sure
[20:21] <TJ-> AqD: I'd be interested to see a couple of logs from that system; "/var/log/kern.log" and "/var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[20:26] <AqD> TJ-, xorg.log => http://pastebin.com/egHvYB6F
[20:30] <AqD> TJ-, and my kern.log => http://pastebin.com/eNGmxjRz
[20:30] <AqD> nothing special, DRM is on
[20:30] <AqD> wait do I need special group for my user to use DRM and vdpau??
[20:31] <TJ-> AqD: from Xorg.0.log this is not good: "(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory"  ... any entry with "(EE)" means ERROR, any with "(WW)" means warning.
[20:31] <BBLLCC> TJ-, your edit works fine
[20:31] <BBLLCC> with the new quotes i mean
[20:31] <TJ-> BBLLCC: Oh fantastic - I'm so pleased, because solving this kind of issue is usually a BIG long frustrating job!
[20:32] <BBLLCC> yes, 2 hours aint it?
[20:32] <AqD> TJ-, fb is disabled because my linux would freeze otherwise
[20:32] <BBLLCC> thanks TJ-
[20:32] <guest5000> hi
[20:32] <guest5000> i have a sony xperia tipo  i wanna connect to aubuntu
[20:33] <guest5000> how do i do it?
[20:33] <guest5000> my os  dosnt find my phone
[20:33] <somefancy> guest5000, Do you mean over bluetooth?
[20:34] <guest5000> no usb
[20:34] <somefancy> guest5000, is your phone unlocked?
[20:34] <guest5000> yes
[20:34] <somefancy> guest5000, how many devices show up?
[20:34] <TJ-> AqD: Ahhh, yes, there are some issues with FB and the nvidia driver in later releases
[20:34] <guest5000> no device
[20:35] <somefancy> guest5000 is usb turned on in the phone?
[20:35] <guest5000> http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/35366/not-able-to-connect-xperia-tipo-to-ubuntu
[20:35] <guest5000> ive tryed this link
[20:35] <guest5000> http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/35366/not-able-to-connect-xperia-tipo-to-ubuntu
[20:35] <TJ-> AqD: what does "vdpauinfo" report ?
[20:35] <OGGOP> People, is there a way to initiate USb tether from the Ubuntu computer to my Android phone instead of starting it from my phone all the time?
[20:36] <guest5000> dosnt work for me.
[20:36] <guest5000> that site
[20:36] <somefancy> guest5000, Weeeell, my moto x has no trouble so this doesn't look like an android problem.
[20:36] <AqD> TJ-, it lists nvidia and capabilities etc
[20:36] <somefancy> guest5000 we'll figure this out, just gimme a sec.
[20:37] <AqD> TJ-, from my own non-root user
[20:37] <pushpop> is there any real time web graphical interfaces that allow you to monitor network traffic real time?
[20:37] <guest5000> thnx somefancy
[20:37] <pushpop> can't find any good ones
[20:38] <TJ-> AqD: that's fine. If you have high CPU it means the VDPAU isn't being used. That means either 1) the player software is not using VDPAU, or 2) the video is encoded with some algorithm that the VDPAU interface doesn't support. Fro that, check the "Decoder capabilities" section
[20:39] <somefancy> guest5000, try changing the usb mode. It should be in the drop-down menu of the storage settings.
[20:40] <guest5000> have tryed that on the phone you mean?
[20:40] <somefancy> guest5000, Yes.
[20:40] <guest5000> have done that
[20:40] <somefancy> guest5000, what modes are available?
[20:40] <django_> Hello all any of you put ubuntu on an acer aspire M ?
[20:40] <guest5000> cant see the phone in my home folder
[20:41] <somefancy> guest5000 look in the sidebar of your file manager. It should say something wildly generic like "Androd" or something.
[20:41] <guest5000> MTP and MSC
[20:41] <somefancy> guest5000 the home folder is usually not where that shows up. Try MSC.
[20:41] <TJ-> AqD if the problem is that videos are decoded using VDPAU (test with vlc) but the system compositor isn't using VDPAU then there's some configuration option or system-settings disabling it
[20:42] <guest5000> I dont have any specific file manager
[20:42] <somefancy> guest5000 MTP is Media Transfer Protocol, which is designed for advanced computers to interface with a pc without the need to safely eject. MSC is Mass Storage Card, which trys to emulate a flash drive as closely as possible. If one doesn't work, try the other.
[20:42] <somefancy> guest5000 I would try looking for the device to mount. Set your device to MSC. MTP doesn't work without a file manager.
[20:43] <guest5000> what file manager
[20:43] <guest5000> maybe i should download a file manager?
[20:44] <somefancy> you could use dolphin, nautilus, pcmanfm, thunar, etc. etc. Stock ubuntu comes with Nautilus pre installed. Kubuntu uses dolphin, Xubuntu uses Thunar, Lubuntu uses PCManFm and Ubuntu GNOME also uses nautilus.
[20:44] <carif> what is the username and password for the 15.04 ubuntu snappy image? ubuntu/ubuntu doesn't work as documented
[20:44] <SchrodingersScat> guest5000: if you're in ubuntu, I think it's still nautilus
[20:44] <somefancy> guest5000 do you have a desktop?
[20:44] <somefancy> guest5000 as in not command line?
[20:45] <guest5000> yes
[20:45] <somefancy> carif try ubuntu with no password. That's on the live image anyhow.
[20:45] <guest5000> but i have no file manager installed
[20:45] <somefancy> guest5000 you will need a file manager.
[20:45] <guest5000> could be the problem :D
[20:46] <somefancy> guest5000 unless you know how to manually mount MSC devices, yes :)
[20:46] <carif> somefancy, ty, tried it, no luck, also 'password' and 'passw0rd'
[20:46] <somefancy> carif are you on the live cd?
[20:47] <ScottyK> Greetings! what are the recommended specs for 15.04? I have an old HP with an Athlon 64, 2.5 GB RAM and a GeForce 8500 GT
[20:47] <somefancy> ScottyK chances are you are good.
[20:47] <somefancy> ScottyK almost nothing within the last 8 years won't run Ubuntu.
[20:47] <carif> somefancy,  no, kvm as per directions at https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/start/
[20:48] <ScottyK> Ok thanks. Not planning on playing latest games, but it's a machine I use to test out Ubuntu!
[20:48] <somefancy> ScottyK yes!
[20:48] <somefancy> carif I am checking that page now.
[20:48] <guest5000> have a file manager doesnt make any diffenrece
[20:48] <carif> somefancy, "For this preview release we have hardcoded a user "ubuntu" with password "ubuntu". "
[20:48] <guest5000> how do i mount MSC devices
[20:48] <guest5000> somefancy
[20:49] <somefancy> guest5000 this sounds like a big problem with that model. I'm sorry but I don't think I have any other information for you without actually seeing the setup! :(
[20:49] <guest5000> ok
[20:49] <somefancy> guest5000 if you know the /dev/sdx# nomenclature then you use the mount command.
[20:49] <guest5000> pitty for me
[20:49] <BrianH> Hey guys.  I'm trying to optimize unity for a touch screen environment.  Any way I can hide the launcher and use a swipe gesture from the side to reveal it?
[20:49] <somefancy> guest5000 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newfolderhere is the syntax
[20:50] <BrianH> unity-tweak-tool lets me hide it, but I have to push the mouse to the edge to reveal it.  Not practical with a touch screen.  Is there something different I can do?
[20:51] <somefancy> carif this sounds like a bad install. Without having ever tried Snappy I can't tell you what to do next but if you don't have anything in there, try reinstalling? again, not familiar with the procedure yet.
[20:51] <TJ-> carif: could the password be empty?
[20:51] <carif> somefancy, sure, I'll try downloading a new image and try again
[20:52] <somefancy> BrianH unfortunately, I don't think so. Ubuntu was originally made with the end of making it touch friendly, but that doesn't provide any more provisions than what's in CCSM. Sorry!
[20:52] <somefancy> BrianH or Unity Tweak Tool, that is essentially the same as using CCSM.
[20:53] <BrianH> somefancy, just figured it out.  4 finger swipe will open it.
[20:54] <BrianH> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch ... cool stuff! :)
[20:54] <somefancy> BrianH Cool! I don't have a touchscreen computer, but I have one in the mail, that's really good to know!
[20:54] <carif> somefancy, you rule
[20:55] <guest5000> somefancy
[20:55] <guest5000> I need to sleep somefancy
[20:55] <somefancy> carif So is the problem solved?
[20:55] <guest5000> ill be back tomorrow
[20:55] <guest5000> have   a nice evening
[20:55] <somefancy> guest5000 feel free! I can't guarantee I will be back though.
[20:55] <somefancy> guest5000 you too now.
[20:55] <guest5000> do you have facebook?
[20:56] <guest5000> i could add you
[20:56] <carif> somefancy, yes. redid the directions at the referenced page (download, unxs, kvm) and now the creds work. will try to ssh in next
[20:56] <somefancy> guest5000 this is a support forum, for small talk, there actually is a channel called #ubuntu-offtopic.
[20:56]  * carif bows to somefancy
[20:56] <guest5000> ok
[20:56] <somefancy> carif Wow that was fast! Great! (Bows Back) glad to be of assistance!
[20:59] <BrianH> I just have this repurposed Toshiba touch screen laptop that I'm turning into a kitchen system.  Coding up a basic recipe book, grocery list, etc. that my wife and I can use.  Should turn out pretty slick once it's done.
[21:00] <somefancy> BrianH I look forward to reading about this in a blog post I may or may not stumble accross!
[21:01] <BrianH> Perhaps.  It'll be a while before I post anything, the laptop is mostly in pieces right now, haha.
[21:02] <BrianH> Ordering some plexiglass to build a custom enclosure for it, and a cheap monitor arm.
[21:02] <daftykins> lets try and keep it support only, people :)
[21:02] <somefancy> sorry
[21:06] <drfoobaz> Anyone know how to disable that ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/ folder that is automatically filled when you set a wallpaper from Nautilus?

[21:10] <bekks> gagalicious: Sure: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication
[21:10] <gagalicious> ok
[21:14] <bishops> Hi all, I trying to solve a headache of a problem, my webcam and one of my usb port stopped working ever since I've reinstalled ubuntu 14.04 (it was installed before and everything perfectly working) on my laptop. I tried to boot from usb and all works perfectly so there is something wrong with the way my current system detects these ports. any ideas of how to get the system to recognize them?
[21:14] <bubbasaures> bishops, Try the guest account now, you have tried the live everything worked, include that info.
[21:15] <bishops> bubbasaures: ok will try now.
[21:16] <bishops> bubbasaures: well in guest account it does not recognize webcam also
[21:17] <daftykins> bishops: also try powering off, removing the mains + battery, holding the power button for 10 seconds in this state, then powering back up after putting the battery back in
[21:18] <bishops> daftykins: the battery is built-in. what do you mean by "mains"?
[21:18] <daftykins> mains power... outlet power... the place what the sparky stuff comes from!
[21:18] <daftykins> some of those laptops have a pin insert to detach the battery temporarily
[21:19]  * bubbasaures grounds themselves
[21:19] <bishops> daftykins: you  think the problem could come from there?
[21:19] <pperanzola_>  /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER pperanzola_ hezybvnocoej
[21:19] <daftykins> bishops: well it doesn't cost much to try
[21:19] <Johnny_Linux> woohoo

[21:19] <lukscurse> Someone please explain to me why this setup: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843984/ doesn't request a password for /dev/sdd2 (/tmp) on boot, but some how magically decrypts it and mounts it just fine without one?
[21:20] <daftykins> no you're all wrong as usual - it's a verification link not a password.
[21:20] <bishops> daftykins: the only way i can remove this battery I think will involve a screwdriver and opening to motherboard...
[21:20] <pperanzola_> :)
[21:20] <TJ-> bishops: I'd check "/var/log/dmesg" when it fails to recognise the camera; there's a probably a driver or firmware problem
[21:20] <bubbasaures> pperanzola_, no space
[21:20] <daftykins> bishops: see what i said about a paperclip/pin insert? or try checking the product manual.
[21:20] <savino__> not smart dude people can see you passwd
[21:21] <bishops> TJ-: how to check? when I launch my system from usb with ubuntu on it camera works
[21:21] <bishops> daftykins: sorry but I'm not sure I understand how to do that
[21:21] <TJ-> bishops: boot the PC normally, if the camera isn't working, show us the log wilth "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg"
[21:21] <daftykins> bishops: look up the manual.
[21:22] <bishops> daftykins: What manual? I've had this laptop for 3 years..
[21:22] <TJ-> lukscurse: I bet you're using the same LUKS passphrase on multiple volumes, and another volume has already been decrypted using it. It was cached for reuse
[21:22] <bubbasaures> bishops, Manuals are onpine
[21:22] <bubbasaures> on line*
[21:22] <bishops> daftykins: meaning that I'm not sure I'll find the manual :)
[21:23] <bishops> ok I'll try TJ- 's suggestion first..
[21:23] <lukscurse> TJ-: really, it has a cache like that?
[21:23] <daftykins> bishops: it'll be on the manufacturer site fine if you look hard enough
[21:23] <zub> Hi. I'm reporting a bug in 15.4. After upgrade something broke. Should I add "regression-update" or some other tag to the report? Or should I just not add it and leave it to those who understand it?
[21:23] <bishops> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11844007/
[21:23] <lukscurse> TJ-: that's a new one to me, cause on arch when i set up drives like this it requested each time even though it was the same pass
[21:24] <lukscurse> TJ-: is that an ubuntu thing or what?
[21:24] <TJ-> lukscurse: if you're prompted for the passphrase during startup, I'd guess possibly twice? (once in the initrd to mount the root-FS, and possibly again for the first of the other volumes).
[21:24] <lukscurse> TJ-:  yeah root and sdd2 have the same encryption algorithm, key size, and pass phrase
[21:25] <savino__> not smart dude people can see you passwd
[21:25] <CryptoSiD> Hi, I have a weird problem!!! I installed kubuntu-plasma5-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso using a usb disk, it booted fine, 0 problem, but after installation im unable to boot the ubuntu on my disk, nor to boot the usb key anymore?!
[21:25] <CryptoSiD> Starting uuid generator uuidd /etc/rc2.d/S02sddm: 4 ,: Can't open /lib/init/init-d-script saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned
[21:25] <CryptoSiD> im seeing this
[21:25] <savino__> oeps error sorry
[21:26] <bishops> daftykins: ok just watched a video on how to remove the battery. it involves a screw driver as I thought it would :)
[21:26] <Jordan_U> CryptoSiD: Why were you installing 14.10 instead of 15.04?
[21:26] <bubbasaures> zub, I would let them tag it probably
[21:26] <lukscurse> TJ-: here's my second issue... if i uncomment the lines for sdd1 in crypttab and fstab there in my paste, when i reboot the screen flickers a few times and says it can't load the graphics or some such issue, and i have to boot to the live cd and mount root and comment them back. any idea what's causing that?
[21:26] <daftykins> bishops: ok but i didn't really suggest that, so - i am not to blame ^_^
[21:26] <OerHeks> 14.10 will go EOL this month
[21:26] <zub> bubbasaures: m'kay, thx
[21:26] <daftykins> yay death to 14.10 \o/
[21:26] <bishops> daftykins: haha no i'm not blaming!
[21:27] <CryptoSiD> Jordan_U cause im unable to find 15.04 with kde 5?
[21:27] <bishops> daftykins: but can someone check the pastebinit of /var/log/dmesg to see if there is something wrong with drivers or if it tells us anything about these ports?
[21:27] <lukscurse> TJ-: it's for /var, but i also live cd'ed in chrooted and cp -r'ed all the stuff over to the encrypted part and reenabled it and it does the same thing
[21:28] <daftykins> bishops: did you paste one yet?
[21:28] <CryptoSiD> ok got it:D
[21:28] <CryptoSiD> gonna try
[21:28] <lukscurse> TJ-:  i rm -rf'ed the encrypted /var mount first
[21:28] <bishops> daftykins:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11844007/
[21:29] <CryptoSiD> kubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso this is with kde plasma 5 by default right?
[21:29] <CryptoSiD> no need to update?
[21:29] <TJ-> lukscurse: There are known mount races with cryptdisks-udev
[21:29] <bekks> CryptoSiD: Of course you should run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade;
[21:29] <OerHeks> Kubuntu 15.04 comes with Plasma 5.2.
[21:29] <lukscurse> TJ-: how do i try to fix it?
[21:29] <TJ-> lukscurse: I have a couple of encrypted LVM VGs, and so I don't need individual LVs/fil-systems unlocking
[21:30] <CryptoSiD> great
[21:30] <CryptoSiD> 5.3 i think:)
[21:30] <OerHeks> after update, yes.
[21:30] <CryptoSiD> whatever as long as its plasma 5.? im happy
[21:30] <savino__> oeps error sorry
[21:30] <CryptoSiD> great hope it'll work with 15.04
[21:30] <lukscurse> TJ-: so if i had an lvm luks for root and another for /tmp and var together, this probably wouldn't be occuring?
[21:31] <Jordan_U> CryptoSiD: Then please see if you can successfully boot from a Kubuntu 15.04 LiveUSB, and if you can then you might as well just install 15.04 from there.
[21:31] <OerHeks> CryptoSiD, there is also #kubuntu here on freenode :-)
[21:32] <daftykins> bishops: hmm i bet you get a little stall at boot with error messages instead of a rapid boot huh?
[21:32] <TJ-> lukscurse: that kind of config, yes. You'd need to look at the cryptsetup cryptdisk init scripts to understand the precise mechanics of the startup. The main thing to remember is that 'mountall' launches many parallel processes to do all the mounts, and that is where the race comes in (this is done to speed up boot-times)
[21:32] <bishops> daftykins: possible why?
[21:33] <daftykins> bishops: i just saw the errors in the dmesg log is all, easily rectified. USB issues at line 678
[21:33] <lukscurse> TJ-: thanks for the help
[21:33] <bishops> daftykins: oh really what to do
[21:33] <daftykins> bishops: which model Lenovo is this? can you visit the site and check for EFI/BIOS updates? it says you're on v22.31
[21:33] <daftykins> *v2.31
[21:34] <daftykins> or 2.56
[21:34] <bishops> daftykins: but how do we explain that it works if i boot from usb?
[21:35] <daftykins> bishops: older kernel
[21:35] <daftykins> you've no doubt updated since
[21:35] <TJ-> bishops: there a a few PCI bus device errors there preventing some devices from initialising. I'd guess one of the is the USb controller the camera is connected to
[21:36] <daftykins> bishops: in fact make sure you've done a good dist-upgrade
[21:36] <TJ-> bishops: you've added manual options to the kernel command-line that is interferring: "pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq "
[21:36] <TJ-> daftykins:  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[21:37] <bishops> TJ-: ooh how to change that
[21:37] <TJ-> bishops: "acpi=noirg" is probably the big problem
[21:37] <bishops> daftykins: can you explain more about bios update and kernel?
[21:37] <daftykins> TJ-: ah good spot, i should've seen that
[21:37] <bishops> TJ-: how to change that? I did fiddle with the bios at some point i remember, but just to get the usb to be bootable
[21:37] <TJ-> bishops: Remove that option from "/etc/default/grub" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and then "sudo update-grub"
[21:38] <daftykins> why not remove them as a one time boot test to start with
[21:38] <daftykins> might be a reason they're there
[21:38] <bishops> TJ-: i just delete it you mean?
[21:38] <TJ-> bishops: No,you remove "acpi=noirq " from where-ever you have set it in that file
[21:39] <bishops> TJ-: please can you type explicitly how to do it in terms of command lines? I'm really an amateur in this..
[21:39] <bishops> TJ-: oh in the file it says at some point "acpi=noirq quiet"
[21:39] <TJ-> bishops: you can also remove "i915.i915_enable_rc6=1" seeing as the i915 driver doesn't support that option: "[    2.637241] i915: unknown parameter 'i915_enable_rc6' ignored"
[21:40] <bishops> TJ-: should i delete these sentences? how to proceed?
[21:40] <TJ-> bishops: remove those options only, nothing else
[21:41] <bishops> TJ-: the line says: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq quiet splash"
[21:41] <bishops> TJ-: should i just erase i915 etc and acpi=noirq ?
[21:41] <TJ-> bishops: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" pcie_aspm=force quiet splash"
[21:42] <TJ-> bishops: Not sure if you need ASPM forcing but I assume you put it there for a good reason :)
[21:42] <bishops> TJ-: no i haven't put anything anywhere! :) should i remove?
[21:42] <TJ-> bishops: Well, those options don't get added automatically
[21:42] <bishops> TJ-: did all this get into this file because I fiddled with the bios you think?
[21:43] <TJ-> bishops: No, the file has to be edited to add them
[21:43] <bishops> TJ-: ooooh i know when i put those. some forum told me it's good for battery life
[21:43] <TJ-> bishops: users!! :P
[21:44] <TJ-> bishops: after you've saved the file do "sudo update-grub" and then it should be fixed
[21:44] <daftykins> makes me wonder how the install got done with those parameters
[21:44] <daftykins> followed a bad guide perhaps?
[21:45] <bishops> TJ-: so should i remove also quiet splash?
[21:45] <bishops> TJ-: maybe quiet splash can help with battery life? :)
[21:45] <TJ-> bishops: No! only remove the settings I told oyu to
[21:46] <bishops> TJ-: but you weren't sure about pcie_aspm=force, should i remove it too?
[21:47] <TJ-> bishops: That option is forcing the kernel to use PCI Active State Power Management - I'm guessing you have that to help with battery life
[21:47] <bishops> TJ-: ok so keep?
[21:47] <TJ-> bishops: Yes. If the current changes don't cure the missing camera issue you can remove that setting later and try the camera again
[21:48] <bishops> TJ-: ok will restart the system as camera still not working
[21:49] <TJ-> bishops: The kernel will use ASPM if the hardware claims to support it, so by forcing it in some circumstances can cause problems. That means the pcie_aspm *might* be the cause of the missing camera, but is less likely. I'm more confident acpi=noirq is the problem
[21:50] <bishops> TJ-: it worked!
[21:50] <bubbasaures> woot
[21:50] <TJ-> bishops: Yes, I thought it would. No more tinkering without expert advise!
[21:51] <bishops> TJ-: thanks a lot, but can you explain to me what we did in plain english? What were these options in the first place? even my reboot was lightning speed.
[21:52] <bishops> TJ-: and also did these options affect battery life in any way?
[21:53] <TJ-> bishops: IRQ == Interrupt ReQuest ... that is when hardware asks the CPU to do something for it. You disabled that, so some devices couldn't get the CPU to do anything for them
[21:54] <TJ-> bishops: I'd think that could affect battery life because the devices couldn't be put into lower power modes
[21:55] <bishops> TJ-: so the IRQ thing was forcing it to go in lower power modes?
[21:55] <TJ-> bishops: No, probably the opposite
[21:55] <bishops> TJ-: oh interesting, so basically it was sabotage! :0
[21:57] <bishops> TJ-: in any case, thanks a lot for your help!
[22:00] <mekhami> anyone have an idea why, in unity, i can't open my system settings?
[22:03] <bubbasaures> mekhami, You leave yourself to any question with that, can you detail it to us?
[22:04] <mekhami> i click system settings on the toolbar and nothing happens.
[22:04] <mekhami> :)
[22:04] <mekhami> also i no longer have an audio/volume thing on the toolbar either.
[22:05] <bubbasaures> mekhami, What desktop/ubuntu release, and mods that preceed.
[22:05] <mekhami> ➜  ~  unity-control-center
[22:05] <mekhami> zsh: command not found: unity-control-center
[22:05] <mekhami> i'm on ubuntu 14.04
[22:06] <k1l> mekhami: ok, what did you do before that happend?
[22:06] <mekhami> k1l nothing i'm aware of? normal regular system updates?
[22:06] <mekhami> k1l i just installed new RAM but that hardly seems relevant
[22:06] <mekhami> i just ran sudo apt-get install unity-control-center and it's back again
[22:07] <mekhami> no idea how that could have gotten uninstalled though
[22:07] <AvatarA> how come you're running zsh, that's not installed by default
[22:07] <k1l> what is when you use the desktop dash search to search for system settings?
[22:07] <Jordan_U> mekhami: Try running "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and see what packages it proposes to install (and be careful to look at what packages it might try to remove).
[22:10] <mekhami> AvatarA: because I want to run zsh?  and I've been running it for years?
[22:10] <mekhami> i don't understand the question
[22:11] <mekhami> I didn't say I just did a fresh install of ubuntu and can't open system settings. i just started my computer one day and that functionaltiy was gone. but i just apt-get installed it back. it's odd that it somehow got removed.
[22:11] <Fuchs> mekhami: you could have a look at  /var/log/dpkg.log
[22:11] <daftykins> mekhami: check your APT history log file perhaps
[22:11] <Fuchs> daftykins: y u islanders so slow? ;(
[22:12] <daftykins> Fuchs: that's not very nice.
[22:12]  * bubbasaures thinks of daftykins always as nice, har har
[22:13] <daftykins> err, ok.
[22:13] <dmitru> What do you think about the order button a paid support in the release, which can be placed in the updates, or to make a special application -
[22:13] <dmitru> ssh and remote desktop is already there, left until enable to access them on the vpn connection from the client's consent
[22:14] <daftykins> dmitru: your query both doesn't make sense in English - and does not look appropriate for this channel
[22:14] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Don't take it personally was not meant that way, none of us are always nice, what ever nice means.
[22:14] <AvatarA> man nice
[22:15] <Bl4ckD34th> something new over here?
[22:16] <daftykins> Bl4ckD34th: no idea what your question means, can you clarify?
[22:17] <compdoc> I have new shoes
[22:17] <daftykins> compdoc: do you now run on Ubuntu? ;)
[22:17] <compdoc> lol
[22:19] <Honeyclaw> technohype
[22:19] <Honeyclaw> that's all I have to say.. sorry, just testing
[22:33] <dmitru> daftykins Tomorrow I'll be watching the English film, the reason misunderstandings in verbal revs reducing text.
[22:34] <Blaster> Anyone know how to enable query logging when using PostgreSQL with PDO?
[22:35] <daftykins> dmitru: inappropriate topic for here
[22:36] <Blaster> Also how can I make PDO show exceptions on the webpage?  It's very misleading because it's not even displaying any errors if there's an error in the query, and I have display_errors set to 1.
[22:40] <Bray90820> How would i cp a file with it's inode number
[22:40] <EriC^^> Bray90820: ?
[22:40] <EriC^^> what are you trying to do?
[22:41] <al2o3-cr> Bray90820: find it's inode number and cp
[22:42] <Bray90820> EriC^^, I am trying to take a file that is unreadable because of a bad filename and rename it
[22:43] <EriC^^> Bray90820: did you try mv -- <filename> <newfilename> ?
[22:43] <Bray90820> I did and it is saying no such file or directory
[22:44] <Bray90820> I had this issue before and I had to use it's inode number
[22:44] <Bray90820> But I was doing rm then
[22:44] <gardijne> Hi guys,
[22:44] <gardijne> I have been struggling with this issue for some time and now decided that I need external help.
[22:44] <gardijne> I have a DD-WRT router setup and running. The router is connected to my ISP. The extrnal IP appears under vlan2 when I run ifconfig.
[22:44] <gardijne> In addition to that, I have set up a VPN connection (via PPTP but OpenVPN should also work). It appears on ifconfig as ppp0 with an address such as <IP_ADDRESS> (this changes frequently, however).
[22:44] <gardijne> The VPN conncts me to a service in a foreign country that I cannot use in my home country. In need this service only at one (and only one) device: my Nintendo Wii U. There is no way to say the Wii to run over VPN.
[22:44] <gardijne> So I need to ROUTE all traffic running from/to a dedicated IP address of the Wii to go through the ppp0.
[22:44] <gardijne> Any idea how to do this? If there is any expert in linux routing around, I am willing to pay his/her effort and then to share the solution.
[22:45] <EriC^^> !info inode-cat | Bray90820 maybe this
[22:46] <EriC^^> Bray90820: http://www.labtestproject.com/linuxcmd/mv.html
[22:46] <EriC^^> renaming based on inode
[22:48] <al2o3-cr> Bray90820: find . -inum <inode> -exec mv {} <new_file_name> \;
[22:52] <Bray90820> Eric^^ http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=LSV1YJMF
[22:52] <Bray90820> The fie doesn't seemed to be renamed
[22:53] <EriC^^> Bray90820: try -exec mv '{}'
[22:53] <EriC^^> ( it's mv not move )
[22:55] <al2o3-cr> Bray90820: check the link
[22:55] <dmitru> In 14.04 there are errors when using the usb modems, in 12.04 did not have them
[22:56] <Bray90820> EriC^^, after I changed move to mv it worked
[22:56] <EriC^^> Bray90820: cool
[22:56] <Bray90820> Thanks
[22:57] <EriC^^> Bray90820: no problem :)
[22:58] <al2o3-cr> Bray90820: you could prolly do `cat file > new_file && rm file`
[23:00] <Bray90820> al2o3-cr, Thaks but I already got it worked out
[23:00] <al2o3-cr> i know :p
[23:00] <bentler> any idea how to make /etc/resolv.conf changes stick?
[23:01] <daftykins> bentler: purge resolvconf, reboot once, edit, reboot again
[23:03] <feneco> how to hide connection icon from ubuntu top bar?
[23:04] <dmitru> gardijne change location, language and logged in ubuntu google put dns <IP_ADDRESS>, or using a proxy server at home for VPN or through a browser, there are ready-made services on the Internet
[23:05] <allizom> Hi people. I'm looking for a virtualization solution for a classroom, I need to run, one at a time, multiple instances of Ubuntu (or one of its flavors) guests on a Ubuntu (again, prefix it with l, x, etc.) host. I'd prefer not to give root access to the students, so it should not be required in order to just run the VM (it can be for setup). I don't need extreme performances, but it has not to be too sluggish. Also I'd prefer to have a management GUI.
[23:05] <allizom> What should I be looking at (no Virtualbox)? Thanks
[23:06] <daftykins> allizom: how big are your classes?
[23:06] <allizom> about 25 students each
[23:07] <daftykins> allizom: i have been in this situation before, if you work with your IT department they may have sufficient licensing to have 'free' access to create and operate a Microsoft Hyper-V server (not my personal preference) or - VMWare ESX is free on a yearly basis for educational uses.
[23:08] <TJ-> allizom: Thats what qemu/kvm + libvirt + virtual machine manager (GUI) do
[23:08] <daftykins> allizom: you're going to have to have quite the beefy system to drive 25 at once
[23:08] <allizom> daftykins: hm, was looking for a free "as in freedom" solution. also I said one at a time
[23:09] <daftykins> ah, why one at a time o0
[23:09] <daftykins> allizom: sure you can do it that way, but you'll probably just be making life harder for yourself. why not just have a spare old system and boot live sessions from a flash drive?
[23:10] <allizom> TJ-: I read about qemu/kvm/vmm, but can I avoid to give root access?
[23:10] <Johnny_Linux> good idea
[23:10] <Johnny_Linux> live usb
[23:10] <daftykins> i'm sure there are reasons for your imposed restrictions, but they don't make too much sense with the info provided :)
[23:10] <bentler> daftykins: worked great, thank you :)
[23:10] <daftykins> bentler: np!
[23:11] <allizom> daftykins: it *could* be possible, but I'd like to know my options in advance
[23:11] <daftykins> allizom: what've the kids gotta do? is it just a compare + contrast exercise?
[23:11] <TJ-> allizom: Yes; libvirt runs with its own user account as a service, the user tools access it over sockets. for admin users they should be added to the libvirtd user-group
[23:13] <allizom> daftykins: it's a high school class and they need to install some packages and stuff, and actually use them too ;P
[23:13] <daftykins> allizom: heh but you said no root
[23:14] <daftykins> also that's fine with a live session.
[23:14] <TJ-> allizom: If you don't need a full virtualised machine libvirt also supports LXC (containers) and has GUI setup wizards to help
[23:15] <danshin> someone know how to creat a bootable pendrive in linux?
[23:16] <allizom> TJ-: I will surely look at that too, but can you please tell me something more about the libvirt way? should I add the VM users in some group?
[23:16] <daftykins> danshin: yes, both command line and GUI options exist
[23:17] <daftykins> danshin: do you have an ISO downloaded ready? and flash drive plugged in?
[23:17] <TJ-> allizom: no. each user can start Virtual Machine Manager and use its GUI to start/stop and access its 'screen'
[23:17] <danshin> yes
[23:17] <daftykins> danshin: 1) identify the drive device name with "sudo parted -l" in a terminal (e.g. /dev/sdb) 2) run "sudo dd if=/path/to/your/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M" (where sdX is the letter you found out in 1)
[23:18] <mekhami> alrighty.
[23:18] <sehnsucht> I just installed vmware player 7 on ubuntu 14.04.2 64 bit and it just took about 15 mins to come up. it takes about 1 or 2 when running same vm on the same machine under windows 7.  cpu was maxing out both in the host and on ubuntu, and everything was hanging for up to a minute at a time.
[23:19] <sehnsucht> is there something i need to do to make it a lot faster?
[23:19] <daftykins> sehnsucht: can't help with proprietary software in here really.
[23:19] <daftykins> run it in a terminal and look for errors perhaps
[23:19] <daftykins> sounds like VT isn't working quite right
[23:20] <TJ-> allizom: see "apt-cache show virt-manager" for the GUI
[23:20] <danshin> daftkins: when i do this code, nothing happening '-'. just jump a on terminal
[23:21] <allizom> TJ-: that's good. you know, I asked here because there are just too many options with virtualization and I wanted a quick heads up before I invest time into a particular solution. I will inform myself about the virt-manager and LXC then. Thanks

[23:21] <daftykins> danshin: what code?
[23:21] <danshin> daftykins: sudo dd if=/path/to/your/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M
[23:22] <daftykins> danshin: yeah you won't see any output until the above result
[23:22] <daftykins> it does not give feedback
[23:22] <daftykins> danshin: this is actually Windows huh? this approach won't work
[23:22] <danshin> daftykins: root@danshin-Satellite-M645:/home/danshin# sudo dd if=/home/danshin/Downloads/debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/sdv1 bs=2M

[23:22] <Toph> hey yocapybara
[23:22] <daftykins> danshin: ok i said /dev/sdX. not /dev/sdX1
[23:23] <daftykins> but yeah this is not going to work for Windows ISOs, you needed to mention that :)
[23:23] <cryptodan_laptop> danshin: you could get the progress if this http://askubuntu.com/questions/215505/how-do-you-monitor-the-progress-of-dd
[23:24] <daftykins> i'd have explained dd progress but things complete fast enough these days ;)
[23:24] <danshin> daftykins: i'm trying to install debian  '-'
[23:24] <daftykins> danshin: ok so it's a 3GB debian DVD? be fine then - '/dev/sdv' doesn't sound quite right o0
[23:25] <daftykins> that would mean it's your 22nd device
[23:25] <danshin> daftykins: my debian dvd have 4GB. And my pen drive 8GB
[23:25] <daftykins> yeah that's not in question
[23:26] <daftykins> danshin: but you have to write to /dev/sdX, not /dev/sdX1 as you did above
[23:26] <daftykins> danshin: also don't use 'sudo' when you're already root
[23:28] <j4ys33> Anybody running 15.04 on XPS13? Just ordered one.
[23:28] <danshin> daftkins to i formate this pen drive i need to use "umount /dev/sdX"  and "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX" right?
[23:29] <daftykins> danshin: i'm telling you to run dd, which means you don't need to format, don't partition, don't do _anything_ else
[23:30] <daftykins> just run the command correctly as i have advised repeatedly and all will be fine
[23:30] <danshin> ok
[23:37] <wfpkhc> i cannot seem to get ubuntu to work on a liveUSB!
[23:37] <wfpkhc> :(
[23:37] <wfpkhc> i use unetbootin
[23:38] <wfpkhc> to put 14.X or 15.X and neither work
[23:38] <wfpkhc> if i put 14.x on - then it comes up with a super small screen
[23:38] <daftykins> EFI or legacy boot?
[23:38] <wfpkhc> with red lights
[23:38] <wfpkhc> with red lines
[23:38] <daftykins> !nomodeset | wfpkhc try this
[23:38] <wfpkhc> if i put 15.x on - it asks for  a login and dies after i log in
[23:39] <wfpkhc> how do i put nomodeset in if
[23:39] <wfpkhc> i am using liveusb?
[23:39] <daftykins> that's what the link describes.
[23:39] <daftykins> or should do
[23:39] <wfpkhc> k
[23:39] <wfpkhc> thank you sir
[23:40] <wfpkhc> hmm that doesnt amek sense
[23:40] <wfpkhc> where do i put in nomodeset?
[23:42] <ExecSlim> wfpkhc, edit /etc/default/grub and add nomodeset to GRUB_CMD_LINUX_DEFAULT parameter
[23:43] <ExecSlim> then run sudo update-grub
[23:43] <wfpkhc> thats my problem ExecSlim - how do i get to etc/default/grub on a usblive?
[23:43] <j4ys33> I inadvertently disconnected myself, I'm very sorry if someone answered this before: anybody running 15.04 on XPS13? Just ordered one.
[23:44] <ExecSlim> wfpkhc: oh
[23:44] <wfpkhc> yeah i said the same thing
[23:44] <ExecSlim> !offtopic | j4ys33
[23:44] <bubbasaures> wfpkhc, unetbootin has not worked for awhile, try another usb loader and check the iso's sum.
[23:44] <wfpkhc> i tried linuxpendrive but
[23:44] <bubbasaures> worked well anyway
[23:44] <wfpkhc> that did the same thing
[23:45] <wfpkhc> well the people last night recommended unetbootin on the ubuntu website documentation
[23:45] <al2o3-cr> doesn't unetbootin use syslinux?
[23:45] <bubbasaures> wfpkhc, May as simple as the nomodeset, it is a f6 first screen, original live boot, for choices
[23:46] <bubbasaures> be*
[23:46] <j4ys33> Ubottu: does 15.04 not qualify as Ubuntu?
[23:46] <wfpkhc> i will try that sir
[23:48] <bubbasaures> j4ys33, 15.04 is ubuntu, polling on your computer is offtopic is all.
[23:49] <trun4rth> I'll try and make this question simple. I am running the LTS ubuntu 14.x on this machine, dual booted with win8.1 (currently logged into) - I need to wrap the windows wireless driver because it isn't currently supported by ubuntu. I'm not a linux pro, but I can handle a computer and I'm at least comfortable. Following a guide, should this be pretty straight forward, or is there a ninja trick I can do?
[23:50] <wfpkhc> so what exactly do i type when i press f6?
[23:50] <j4ys33> Bubbasaures: understood. Thanks for the clarification. I'll move along.
[23:50] <bubbasaures>  wfpkhc nothing you should see a nomodeset option.
[23:50] <wfpkhc> k thank you sir
[23:55] <OerHeks> trun4rth, there is a guide for ndiswrapper, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[23:58] <hulio> what is the best way to install nvidia driver in ubuntu?
