[00:00] <Guest32814> Thought so! :)
[00:00] <stormzen> I'm having an issue with wireless networking on 14.04. I think I have the Centrino Advanced-N 6205 network controller ( uses the iwlwifi driver ). I'm not sure how to replicate the issue here at home, but at two different wireless spots where the connection was working for my phone, it lost access to the wireless network and wasn't able to get it again before rebooting.  I do notice, though that sudo service networking stop results in : stop: Job failed whi
[00:00] <stormzen> le stopping , and a message in dmesg: init: networking post-stop process .. terminated with status 100
[00:01] <stormzen> !log
[00:01] <Guest32814> hall72: Remember to disable all scripts.
[00:02] <hall72> Guest32814: Of course.
[00:03] <Guest32814> Why would people want IRC logs?
[00:04] <stormzen> Heh.  I was curious about what you were talking about.  :p
[00:05] <Guest32814> k:)
[00:08] <chui> rufus
[00:08] <chui> pretty good usb bootable creator
[00:09] <stormzen> ah, now I understand the tor over VPN via HongKong servers bit.
[00:10] <stormzen> ( it seemed like it might be excessive )
[00:12] <stormzen> Is there a quick way to determine if there is a known issue with iwlwifi + centrino advanced 6205-N ?
[00:14] <m{a}zel> no love on the linux on Surface yet...
[00:14] <m{a}zel> lol
[00:14] <reisio> if I had an extra $1000 I might get a surface pro
[00:14] <reisio> but I wouldn't get a tablet that had no confirmation you can replace the OS on it
[00:14] <reisio> not ever
[00:15] <reisio> not unless it came with the distro I use :p
[00:15] <reisio> and maybe not even then
[00:27] <stormzen> On Ubuntu 14, is can the network service be stopped with sudo service networking stop?  It fails for me.
[00:27] <stormzen> I'm trying to establish if that's expected behavior.
[00:28] <stormzen> ( or if it's likely unrelated to wireless not working on networks that aren't my home network. )
[00:42] <chui> installing lubuntu at least wireless works
[00:42] <AR45> Hello.
[00:42] <AR45> !unopaste
[00:43] <stormzen> !unopaste
[00:45] <bubbasaures> chui, ubuntu being lightweight is more .config rather than gui orientated is all, not hard to figure out though.
[00:46] <chui> hmmm @bubbasaures
[00:46] <chui> i had thought of manjaro
[00:46] <bubbasaures> chui, This is tweaking it, full desktop otherwise.
[00:47] <chui> ahhhh
[00:47] <chui> will check it out
[00:47] <gshmu> hello my system update ing  but download the flashplugin-installer very slow, I download it,
[00:48] <chui> win 7 was laggy ugh
[00:49] <bubbasaures> gshmu, You can when update finished the repo speeds in software and updates first tab
[00:50] <bubbasaures> get the fastest speed that is
[00:50] <gshmu> the plugin download very slow in China, I'm download it by proxy
[00:51] <chui> doesnt proxy slowdown
[00:51] <gshmu> bubbasaures:  I can't wait it finished, I head some body wait one more hour
[00:53] <crocket> Is it better to upgrade ubuntu online or install a new version of ubuntu on an existing ubuntu partition?
[00:53] <stormzen> On Ubuntu 14.04.1, can the network service be stopped with sudo service networking stop?  It fails for me.  I'm trying to figure out if that's expected behavior.
[00:53] <bubbasaures> gshmu, Not sure I understand your issue.
[00:54] <bubbasaures> crocket, No best here, depends on your needs and skills.
[00:55] <gshmu> update I using one nearby internet source, so i don't using the proxy for update, but when update start need download flashplugin-installer from archive.canonical.com, not from my nearby source
[00:55] <crocket> gshmu, Your english is confusing.
[00:55] <gshmu> bubbasaures: I'm Chinese, so poor english...
[00:55] <bubbasaures> !cn |gshmu
[00:56] <crocket> What is tw? taiwan?
[00:56] <ObrienDave> yes
[00:56] <bubbasaures> two channels
[00:56] <gshmu> I can know some english
[00:56] <crocket> I wonder how chinese memorize a lot of chinese letters.
[00:56] <chui> why is wireless finicky on ubuntu flavours
[00:56] <gshmu> crocket: yes tw is taiwan
[00:56] <bubbasaures> gshmu, We are not communicating.
[00:56] <AR45> COOL
[00:57] <ObrienDave> crocket, those aew not letters, they are words
[00:57] <ObrienDave> *are
[00:57] <gshmu> bubbasaures: I'm type english,....
[00:57] <stormzen> chui, what network card do you have?
[00:57] <crocket> I heard chinese still make new letters.
[00:57] <bubbasaures> gshmu, You might try your native language channel, I can't really understand you,sorry.
[00:58] <gshmu> bubbasaures: hehe
[00:58]  * ObrienDave give up
[00:58] <EriC^^> gshmu: what nearby source are you talking about?
[00:58] <ObrienDave> *gives
[00:58] <gshmu> look pic at https://clbin.com/MFitws.png
[00:59] <EriC^^> heh in this case a pic will be worth a couple million words
[00:59] <EriC^^> ( had to )
[00:59] <EriC^^> :D checking..
[01:00] <gshmu> the pic may be the nice way
[01:00] <EriC^^> gshmu: ok, after you press close, did you open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update ?
[01:00] <crocket> I feel so weird, yo.
[01:01] <crocket> gshmu, Your english will get better after years.
[01:01] <gshmu> EriC^^: update by daily_update
[01:01] <AR45> Hi
[01:01] <gshmu> crocket: yeah, after years
[01:02] <crocket> gshmu, That being said, IRC is not a good way to learn english.
[01:02] <EriC^^> gshmu: open a terminal, ( ctrl+alt+T ) , type sudo apt-get update
[01:03] <gshmu> EriC^^: thanks,
[01:03] <EriC^^> no problem

[01:11] <EriC^^> can someone confirm?
[01:12] <ObrienDave> _guest_, didn't say i knew how ;P
[01:12] <EriC^^> gshmu: they are very tiny files
[01:12] <wjtaylor> kinda OT, but hoping someone can help. I have an older machine running ubuntu. I just bought a sata dvd drive for it, but cannot boot the install dvd from it. It doesn't see any bootable media.
[01:12] <wjtaylor> Should this be seen in the bios?
[01:12] <wjtaylor> I only see my old pata drive
[01:12] <gshmu> EriC^^: Thanks, I setting all proxy, and then apt-get install. thanks again
[01:12] <ObrienDave> wjtaylor, that depends on the BIOS
[01:13] <wjtaylor> I see no settings for sata
[01:13] <wjtaylor> it has sata ports though
[01:14] <EriC^^> gshmu: no problem
[01:14] <wjtaylor> on boot it shows ASUS on "serial channel" which is promising... but I can't figure out how to get it to boot
[01:20] <raarissa> Hi! What is THE recommended way of getting Ubuntu on a USB drive these days?
[01:20] <raarissa> I mean, to install from.

[01:22] <raarissa> xangua: That's A LOT of information.

[01:36] <Finetundra> i'm trying to resize a partition to a larger one. however the space i can free up by shrinking the other partition does not seem to be useable for the partition i'm trying to increase. does anyone know how to do this?

[01:46] <TheNexT> Anybody here using preload with Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS?
[01:46] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, ok, what are you trying to do?
[01:46] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, increase the size of the smaller partition on the left
[01:47] <TheNexT> !preload
[01:47] <TheNexT> !array_slice
[01:47] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, only way to do that is decrease sda2 first then expand sda1
[01:47] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, have i not done that?
[01:47] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, not yet :)
[01:48] <ObrienDave> see sda2? it's an extended partition. sda5 and 6 exist within sda2
[01:48] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, ok
[01:49] <TheNexT> :/
[01:49] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, so, resize sda2 by moving the START of the partition to the right however much you want
[01:50] <ObrienDave> then expand sda1 by moving the END to the right to meet sda2
[01:50] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, working on it
[01:50] <Bashing-om> Finetundra: swap on sda5 must also be turn off .
[01:51] <ObrienDave> yes and you can turn it on again when done
[01:52] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, also prepare for the resizing operations to take quite a while
[01:52] <duckgoose> oh freenode
[01:52] <duckgoose> why must you fail
[01:53] <ObrienDave> freenode fails when askers don't listen
[01:54] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, ok, it's going
[01:55] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, cool, relax and enjoy the show LOL please wait for it to do everything
[01:55] <ObrienDave> this could take HOURS
[01:56] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, Hours? oh dear
[01:56] <ObrienDave> yes, you basically have to move 800GB of stuff
[01:56] <ObrienDave> and not bork the drive
[01:57] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, bork?
[01:57] <Sancho> I just purchased an Arduino Uno from RadioShack.
[01:57] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, you're scaring me
[01:57] <Sancho> How do I get Ubuntu on this?
[01:57] <ObrienDave> eat? screw up? make into doo-doo?
[01:57] <Sancho> Is there a way to boot it from USB and install Ubuntu to it?
[01:57] <Sancho> Hello? Help?
[01:57] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, :(
[01:58] <Sancho> Has anyone ever installed Ubuntu to an Arduino before?
[01:58] <AceLan> Sancho: no, I don't think Ubuntu can run on an Arduino borad
[01:58] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, just let it do it's thing. it will be fine
[01:58] <Sancho> AceLan, do I need to download RAM?
[01:58] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, good thing it's not all 800, just 400 or so
[01:58] <AceLan> Sancho: no, there is no way that Ubuntu can run on it, it's not a computer, it's just a logic board
[01:59] <ObrienDave> Bashing-om, did we or gparted not warn Finetundra about possible data loss?
[01:59] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, it did
[01:59] <Finetundra> but you guys didn't
[01:59] <fortynine> hello!
[02:00] <ObrienDave> ok, PLEASE let it finish doing it's thing
[02:00] <Sancho> AceLan: Can I jailbreak an Arduino?
[02:00] <Sancho> Like a Raspberry Pi?
[02:00] <AceLan> Sancho: no need, it's open hardware
[02:00] <Sancho> AceLan: I think I can download more RAM.
[02:00] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, gotcha, don't worry
[02:00] <bubbasaures> Sancho, I see ubuntu attached to that hardware on the web, http://playground.arduino.cc/Linux/Ubuntu  look for your release ans actual use.
[02:01] <Sancho> Okay guys, thanks!
[02:01] <Bashing-om> ObrienDave: IT is is big letters in GParted .. for a fact ... IT could happen ( but moving / to the right is less likely, that is a good thing )
[02:01] <Sancho> I'll see if I can run a Java VM on my Arduino Uno and get Windows 10 on it
[02:01] <langit> how to install libre office offline?
[02:01] <Sancho> if not I'll return it
[02:02] <Sancho> I just want to play Minecraft on my Arduino that's all
[02:02] <Sancho> nothing else really lol
[02:02] <ObrienDave> Bashing-om, agrees :)
[02:02] <AceLan> bubbasaures: Sancho: no, that page doesn't describe that, it just say how to operate your adruino from ubuntu
[02:02] <Sancho> Hehe, I'm just messing around guys
[02:02] <Sancho> I'm bored, sorry
[02:02] <fortynine> YEAHAHAHAH
[02:02] <Sancho> Thanks for the help though
[02:02] <bubbasaures> AceLan, And your point is?
[02:02] <fortynine> i just downloaded a file
[02:03] <Bashing-om> ObrienDave: Finetundra :: as advised, all ya can do now is grap a cuppa, watch the show ... ( you do have backups, yes ?) .
[02:04] <ObrienDave> Bashing-om, i'm confident moving start of sda2 to the right and NOT moving sda6 is also safe and expedient
[02:05] <Finetundra> Bashing-om, most of the important stuff is backed up, no need to worry
[02:05] <Bashing-om> ObrienDave: Finetundra :: The power of positive thinking ! But nothig takes the place of them there 5 Ps .
[02:06] <Finetundra> Bashing-om, you lost me there
[02:07] <Bashing-om> Finetundra: 5 Ps Prior Prudent Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance .
[02:08] <Finetundra> Bashing-om,would it be fine to leave it unattended through the night, that's 7 Ps by the way
[02:09] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, yup, not to worry
[02:09] <ObrienDave> and i had to count the Ps ;P
[02:09] <Finetundra> thanks

[02:34] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, is there such a thing in ubuntu?
[02:34] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, not that i know of
[02:34] <Finetundra> :(
[02:35] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, one of the few reasons i still keep windows ;P
[02:37] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, at least i still have my product key
[02:38] <ObrienDave> Finetundra, that works 3 times for reinstalling iirc
[02:40] <Finetundra> ObrienDave, i don't recall having reinstalled before so that gives me about 3 reinstalls
[02:40] <Finetundra> plus however many reinstalls are left for a scrapped laptop in my possession
[02:41] <ObrienDave> it's good to keep old product keys :)
[02:44] <Finetundra> plus a key for win vista on a different scrapped laptop
[02:44] <Finetundra> i have too many spare product keys

[02:55] <shplat> can anyone point me to the doc that explains the proper way to create and install deb files from archives of new software? specifically i want to upgrade bluez, install ds4drv, and update blender "the right way"
[02:56] <Finetundra> um, gnome shell just crashed and the progress meter for gparted is nowhere to be found
[02:57] <sacarlson> shplat: did you try look in the ppa for newer releases?
[02:57] <sacarlson> shplat: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[02:58] <shplat> sacar: no. will check out htat link now. ty
[02:59] <khss10> ggggggggggg
[03:01] <shplat> sacarlson: that looks like debs that individuals have made. i'd feel more comfortable downloading the original files from github or other official site and create it myself. i'm beginning to think it is not trivial though
[03:02] <sacarlson> shplat: it depends on the complexity of the app in github,  I normally trust ppa as most have many people looking at it.  github is just made by individuals as well
[03:03] <shplat> thats true
[03:03] <sacarlson> shplat: I would think blender might be complex but with all the dependencies it might not be too hard

My cmake  option was only  -D enable-qt=ON (source: http://mathgl.sourceforge.net/doc_en/Installation.html#Installation). Any help? Thanks.
[03:08] <chui> anyone have a fix for sound lubuntu  on HP slate 500
[03:08] <sacarlson> shplat: cool you can do it,  also ppa isn't always on the edge or the newist stuf, so if you make it direct from the developers you will be sure to have the new stuf
[03:10] <sacarlson> Malsasa: sounds like it's missing a dependancy
[03:11] <Malsasa> sacarlson: sort of. But I have not clue what is missing and how to resolve.
[03:15] <ObrienDave> shplat, .deb NOT needed for blender. no dependencies either. all files needed are in the .tar.bs2
[03:15] <sacarlson> Malsasa: at the link you provided I don't see them list the dependancies needed so I think you will need to look at the make file to find what they try to link to and install all the xxxx-dev of those libs used
[03:16] <Malsasa> sacarlson: I will follow your clues first.
[03:17] <shplat> 0brienDave: but the blender folder is just sitting there in my ~/Downloads directory. I want to put it *somewhere*, but be able to remove/upgrade when the new version comes out. what's best practice for blender?
[03:17] <ObrienDave> shplat, http://www.blender.org/download/ for other operating systems you can simply unpack the compressed file to the location of your choice. Provided the Blender binary is in the original extracted directory, Blender will run straight out of the box. No system libraries or system preferences are altered.
[03:18] <ObrienDave> shplat, open in archive manager, extract to ANYWHERE keeping file structure intact, run blender file in 1st level of directory
[03:18] <shplat> 0brienDave: cool, i'll do that for blender. thx.
[03:19] <chui> anyone know how to get sound on lubuntu
[03:19] <ObrienDave> chui, turn the volume up ;P
[03:19] <sacarlson> shplat: I imagine the tar.gz file is a comiled binary you can just run it from your local directory ./filename  you can make a shortcut to run it on your desktop to make it easy to start
[03:19] <droseacc> Hey so my laptop doesn't support booting off an SD card, if I install ubuntu to the SD card and grub to the HDD will it detect my install?
[03:20] <chui> haha installed lubuntu on a HP slate 500..wifi works,touch as well but no sound
[03:20] <sacarlson> droseacc: you should be able to manualy make a grub entry to run your sd version
[03:20] <ObrienDave> shplat, there is a binary file in the 1st level of the TAR, make link to that file on desktop
[03:21] <crocket> Has ubuntu moved to wayland yet?
[03:21] <sacarlson> droseacc: oh in fact maybe update-grub might detect it and put it in grub start for you
[03:22] <reisio> crocket: no one has
[03:22] <droseacc> Cool, I'll give that a try
[03:22] <rww> crocket: no
[03:22] <reisio> when it's time, everyone will
[03:22] <crocket> I see libwayland
[03:22] <crocket> Mir
[03:22] <crocket> It was Mir.
[03:22] <ObrienDave> shplat, set your projects to save elsewhere and when you need to upgrade blender, delete old directory, expand new directory and remake desktop link. really easy
[03:23] <ObrienDave> *old blender directory
[03:23] <droseacc> Nvidia just announced their plans to support Mir/Wayland so when that happens I guess
[03:24] <revofire> hi...
[03:24] <crocket> When will ubuntu migrate to Mir?
[03:24] <reisio> revofire: heyo
[03:24] <crocket> I'm waiting.
[03:24] <revofire> can someone help me?
[03:24] <shplat> 0brienDave: cool. thats what i'll do for blender. bluez5.1 looks like i'll make a deb for that one
[03:24] <reisio> crocket: never if they know what's good for them
[03:25] <rww> crocket: when it's ready, i expect. i think the current plan is <= 16.04
[03:25] <crocket> Oh
[03:25] <revofire> anyone else know how to fix the grub error after upgrading to 14.04 from 12.10? I can't boot and I'm on my live disk and don't kknow what to do.
[03:25] <crocket> several years.
[03:25] <crocket> When will any linux OS move to wayland?
[03:25] <reisio> revofire: _the_ grub error?
[03:25] <reisio> crocket: when it's ready
[03:25] <ObrienDave> when they're ready to
[03:25] <revofire> yes THE error haha
[03:25] <reisio> when _it_ is ready
[03:25] <rww> i'm seeing a trend here
[03:25] <reisio> wayland is made by the X guys, at a certain point they will 100% give up maintaining X
[03:26] <reisio> and at that point, so will every distro
[03:26] <AR45> Help me
[03:26] <reisio> (okay more like 90% :p)
[03:26] <reisio> AR45: oh please
[03:26] <docente__> ALGUIEN HABLA ESPAÑOL
[03:26] <revofire> error: file not found is what shows up and it goes to rescue grub

[03:27] <docente__> ALGUIEN ES DEL PERU
[03:27] <reisio> docente__: donde esta la capslock
[03:27] <sacarlson> revofire: before anything else you might want to backup at least your home directory onto a flash drive
[03:27] <revofire> oh this is a fresh install :)
[03:28] <reisio> revofire: you can fix it from a live OS
[03:28] <reisio> sacarlson: no particular reason to do that (though obviously backups in general are wise)
[03:28] <revofire> Can you walk me through it? I've used Linux a few times before but was always a newbie.
[03:28] <revofire> I'm on live cd 12.10
[03:29] <sacarlson> revofire: fresh install nothing to loose?  then a complete reinstall would be the easiest,  what method did you use to install it this time?
[03:29] <reisio> revofire: mmm, does that have the same version fo grub as the version (14?) you've installed?
[03:29] <reisio> no, a complete reinstall is not the easiest way to make grub find what it's looking for...
[03:30] <revofire> Well I can install 14.04 sure... but what if the error pops up later?
[03:30] <revofire> how can I find the version?
[03:30] <sacarlson> reisio: ya maybe the mbr will still mess up the fresh install?   I would think it would fix itself if you selected to erase the disk at install time
[03:31] <reisio> revofire: grub-install -v
[03:31] <reisio> sacarlson: I would think a script to update made by the same people who made the script to install from scratch would be of similar use
[03:31] <reisio> but that's irrelevant
[03:31] <reisio> you don't fix grub not finding what it's looking for by nuking from orbit, that's just silly :D
[03:32] <revofire> also I might have to add that I have no other partitions but this computer is in RAID 1 via Intel Rapid Storage and  it's been giving plenty problems to install linux then i reverted to installing 12.10 after opening the live cd and installing from there instead straight off. I didnt try with the 14.04 that method because well... It was a spur of t
[03:32] <revofire> he moment thing. I still can.

[03:32] <AR45> !op docente__
[03:33] <revofire> it says: 1.99-21ubuntu3.16
[03:33] <crocket> Woorah
[03:33] <reisio> revofire: probably be okay then
[03:34] <revofire> whatcha mean?
[03:34] <docente_> HELP ME
[03:34] <docente_> AYUDENME
[03:35] <docente_> COMO ENCUENTRO LATINOS
[03:35] <revofire> by the way I got an error when updating for GRUB
[03:35] <reisio> docente_: capslock, no
[03:35] <AR45> docente_: ubuntu_esp
[03:35] <revofire> something about it failing to install or something?
[03:37] <revofire> reisio: so what do you suggest I do? Hard install 14.04 from the live cd (or try to) or try and fix it here and now?
[03:39] <sacarlson> revofire: so you never attempted to install direct from 14.04 live cd yet?
[03:40] <reisio> revofire: I was suggesting fixing it
[03:40] <sacarlson> reisio: yes and that attempt was tried
[03:40] <reisio> revofire: you can easily tell from the live OS whether the OS is installed or not; if GRUB is having a little problem, just fix it
[03:40] <reisio> sacarlson: mmm, was it? :p
[03:40] <revofire> oh no I mean I have no idea how to fix anything lol
[03:41] <revofire> I have not tried the 14.04 install from desktop live cd yet
[03:41] <reisio> revofire: :)
[03:41] <revofire> you will not believe the amount of errors I get installing ubuntu :=:(
[03:41] <revofire> I blame it on the RAID 1 but I need it
[03:41] <revofire> I'll try the live cd first to avoid giving you guys trouble. Let's see if we can't figure this out :)
[03:41] <reisio> revofire: pastebin your /etc/fstab, the output of lsblk -f, and your grub.cfg (find /boot -iname 'grub.cfg')
[03:41] <revofire> oh well okay :)
[03:42] <sacarlson> revofire: yes that must be the added complication the raid,  I do recall having similar problems on old versions of ubuntu with it not installing the mbr correctly on raids
[03:42] <revofire> I want to use this as a webserver so you can probably imagine how badly I need it :)
[03:42] <revofire> How do I pastebin the etc/fstab?
[03:43] <ObrienDave> !pastebin | revofire
[03:43] <reisio> revofire: not very badly?
[03:43] <ObrienDave> sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[03:44] <ObrienDave> !pastebinit | revofire
[03:44] <reisio> revofire: use lsblk -f to find your / partition, mount it, then pastebinit
[03:44] <HewloThere> What's the difference between apt-get upgrade and apt=get update?
[03:44] <revofire> ahh
[03:44] <ObrienDave> apt=get will not work
[03:44] <HewloThere> apt-get ***
[03:44] <reisio> HewloThere: unfortunately, there is a difference :)
[03:44] <HewloThere> I see...
[03:45] <reisio> even know in English tne names are practically synonymous
[03:45] <reisio> even though, eben :p
[03:45] <ObrienDave> apt-get update updates repo information
[03:45] <HewloThere> Ahh...
[03:45] <reisio> s/names/word/, holy
[03:45] <sacarlson> HewloThere: I think apt-get update only updates the repository contents where as apt-get upgrade upgrades all the packages
[03:45] <ObrienDave> apt-get upgrade upgrades packages
[03:45] <HewloThere> Oh...
[03:45] <courtrm> huh
[03:45] <courtrm> what is this
[03:46] <courtrm> is this help for your computer
[03:46] <reisio> courtrm: kinda
[03:46] <ObrienDave> this is Ubuntu support
[03:46] <courtrm> wtf is this
[03:46] <HewloThere> How could one set up a mail server on Ubuntu without a FQDN?
[03:47] <ObrienDave> courtrm, no place for swearing, obfuscated or not
[03:47] <reisio> by not setting an fqdn
[03:47] <m{a}zel> fqdn?
[03:48] <HewloThere> Fully Qualified Domain Name
[03:48] <m{a}zel> ahh ok, thanks
[03:48] <m{a}zel> I was hoping at some point to be able to do DNS on here
[03:48] <m{a}zel> or at least at my home
[03:48] <m{a}zel> but that's a lot of work for a newbie
[03:48] <courtrm> i did not swear i said wtf get over it
[03:49] <m{a}zel> courtrm, only an idiot wouldn't know what you meant essentially
[03:50] <m{a}zel> thats like saying OMG..... now did I say... oh my god, or oh my goodness..
[03:50] <courtrm> right
[03:50] <xangua> please stop
[03:50] <m{a}zel> the point is they still know what you meant..
[03:50] <ObrienDave> m{a}zel, NOT quite the same analogy
[03:50] <ObrienDave> but thanks :)
[03:51] <courtrm> the fact that yall are being this annoying about it though..
[03:51] <ObrienDave> !guidelines | courtrm
[03:51] <courtrm> i am not about to click on that shit
[03:51] <rww> courtrm: "you should avoid any language which may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such language" ~ IRC Guidelines | "Use of this channel implies acceptance of terms at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/TermsOfService" ~ channel join message
[03:51] <reisio> heh
[03:51] <ObrienDave> either follow them or go away
[03:51] <courtrm> i do what i want.
[03:52]  * rww sighs
[03:52] <rww> anyways, yes, this is a channel for Ubuntu technical support
[03:52] <HewloThere> What would I set this to http://i.imgur.com/3G4cr3m.png have my mail server on mydomain.com rather than subdomain.mydomain.com ?
[03:52] <courtrm> this is tech support?
[03:52] <courtrm> who helps here
[03:52] <HewloThere> courtrm, please leave.
[03:53] <rww> courtrm: volunteers
[03:53] <ObrienDave> most people do if they can
[03:53] <docente_> UN CANAL EN ESPAÑOL
[03:53] <rww> HewloThere: you'd set it to whatever your email addresses have aver @ by default
[03:53] <courtrm> with any computer problems
[03:53] <rww> !es | docente_
[03:53] <rww> courtrm: no, Ubuntu problems, as I said.
[03:53] <HewloThere> rww, I don't really understand...
[03:54] <courtrm> so only problems with this chat..
[03:54] <m{a}zel> ok, gone away again..
[03:54] <rww> HewloThere: You are setting up a mail server. This server will handle mail for one or more people. Put in that box the hostname part of these peoples' email addresses
[03:54] <rww> so if your mailserver handles mail for<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>and<EMAIL_ADDRESS>put example.com
[03:54] <HewloThere> Oh...  I kept getting can't find UUID. Anyone know why?
[03:56] <revofire> reisio: I got pastebinit but I don't know how to work any of the commands. The last one with grub.cfg looked to be the easiest but when I did it it doesnt work
[03:56] <AR45> Hello.
[03:57] <sacarlson> ForTheWin: uuid I think that's the harddisk partition identificication.  how is the harddrive you installed it on conected to your computer?
[03:57] <ObrienDave> revofire, cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit
[03:57] <ObrienDave> paste the URl HERE
[03:57] <ObrienDave> URL here
[03:57] <rww> (pretty sure you don't need to use cat there and that pastebinit can take arguments)
[03:57] <crocket> Is it ok to allocate 1GB RAM to an ubuntu desktop VM?
[03:58] <crocket> I want to install ubuntu desktop 14.04.
[03:58] <ObrienDave> it still works ;P
[03:58] <revofire> ohhh
[03:58] <HewloThere> What does this mean? http://i.imgur.com/aLCRiE1.png
[03:58] <revofire> I was missing the | sign, I thought that was just for examples :)
[03:58] <daftykins> crocket: that'll be a struggle.
[03:58] <rww> HewloThere: it's the introduction text sent to clients when they connect to your server. it's not important.
[03:59] <HewloThere> Oh, okay.
[03:59] <revofire> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8562682/
[03:59] <ObrienDave> revofire, | is a pipe, it transfers output to the next command
[03:59] <sacarlson> crocket: yes I"ve gotten by with just 1G mem but if you can spare more 2G would be better
[04:00] <revofire> I see.
[04:00] <sacarlson> crocket: otherwise maybe your virtualbox install should be Lubuntu  that takes less resorces
[04:00] <revofire> lsblk -f says that there is no blk directory
[04:00] <HewloThere> : rww : If my mail server is hosted on a VPS, and I have a domain, what would I set this to? http://i.imgur.com/1t8foTh.png
[04:01] <ForTheWin> sacarlson: its internal hard drive
[04:01] <revofire> grub.cfg is also an empty document :(
[04:01] <rww> HewloThere: is your end goal to connect to this server, give it mail, and have it send that mail to the internet?
[04:01] <revofire> pastebin your /etc/fstab, the output of lsblk -f, and your grub.cfg (find /boot -iname 'grub.cfg') <<<< those are the things I have to pastebin but so far all I got was the first one.
[04:01] <MarkusDBX> Looking for the best videoeditor application, like to edit/convert some video going into html5 video tags.
[04:01] <sacarlson> ForTheWin: then I'm not sure why it wouldn't find it unless you manualy set the uuid
[04:01] <HewloThere> Umm... I think? I just want it to send and recieve mail.
[04:01] <rww> HewloThere: leave it blank
[04:02] <HewloThere> Alright.
[04:02] <ForTheWin> sacarlson: i did not manually set uuid. i dont know why
[04:02] <ObrienDave> revofire, fstab should look something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/8562696/
[04:03] <revofire> I didn't mount my filesystem
[04:03] <revofire> is that why?
[04:03] <revofire> how can I mount it.
[04:03] <HewloThere> : rww : Should I have # masquerade_domains = mail.example.com www.example.com !sub.dyndomain.com
[04:03] <HewloThere> # masquerade_exceptions = root ?
[04:03] <revofire> I don't know which drive to use. (and sorry for pressing enter so many times, I'm used to skype and not IRC as this is considered spamming)
[04:03] <rww> !postfix
[04:04] <rww> HewloThere: just use that ^
[04:04] <rww> half of these are options that work fine by default, so whatever guide you're using is going into way too much detail
[04:04] <sacarlson> ForTheWin: you should be able to see what disks are present with the command sudo blkid from a live cd boot or working system
[04:04] <HewloThere> It  is this http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/#config-simple-mta
[04:04] <HewloThere> I set inet_interfaces to ipv4 and I don't have some of the things it says on it.
[04:06] <ForTheWin> sacarlson: i can see my sda7 partition with sudo blkid but when i boot it says cannot find uuid that belongs to sda7
[04:06] <sacarlson> ForTheWin: very strange
[04:08] <sacarlson> ForTheWin: I have no theory how that is posible,  can you mount sda7 on a working system?
[04:11] <ForTheWin> sacarlson: well i have already installed mint instead of ubuntu and its working now.  sorry i cant go back. thank you for helping.  Sooo much configging to do.
[04:13] <HewloThere> I might just buy a managed service...
[04:14] <sacarlson> HewloThere: that's why I like mail.google.com to do it for me.  in fact I think at one point I redirected to google to setup the ssl stuf ended up being too much for me to bother with
[04:17] <snpresent> hello

[04:25] <BasicOSX> Just today several of my precise systems have thrown errors, “W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]” Anything going on with us.archive.ubuntu.com?
[04:25] <snpresent> anyway ,i believe Unity's design used my idea,but it dosen't matter, i love Unity
[04:26] <sacarlson> BasicOSX: I hate when that happens,  I assume there are mirrors you could use
[04:26] <BasicOSX> sacarlson: uk.archive.ubuntu.com works as expected
[04:27] <sacarlson> BasicOSX: cool, I wish it would auto use a mirror on failure
[04:27] <BasicOSX> guess I’m just want to confirm that the server the CDN handed me (<IP_ADDRESS>) is the problem and not my system
[04:28] <sacarlson> BasicOSX: I have had times that others in different location could reach an ip that I could not, but that is rare
[04:28] <BasicOSX> sacarlson: thanks for the help, appreciate it
[04:29] <squinty> BasicOSX:  test the link with your web browser.  seems to work ok here when I try it
[04:29] <BasicOSX> squinty: yar, that’s why I’m confused
[04:29] <sacarlson> BasicOSX: also for your info I also get error 404 at that link
[04:30] <squinty> try again without the Packages.
[04:30] <squinty> sacarlson: ^^
[04:30] <BasicOSX> seems certain servers in the 91.189.91.x block sporadically return 404
[04:30] <BasicOSX> <IP_ADDRESS> is doing it down but <IP_ADDRESS> is ok
[04:31] <BasicOSX> <IP_ADDRESS> is doing it now but <IP_ADDRESS> is ok
[04:31] <sacarlson> squinty: BasicOSX: yes I can reach http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/multiverse/binary-amd64/  ok
[04:35] <snpresent> and i test win10 work fine
[04:36] <cfhowlett> snpresent, this is *ubuntu* support.  please discuss other matters in #ubuntu-offtopic

[04:57] <blackyboy1> Hi everyone, if iam writing a file in /var/www/ i want to write from sysadmin user but same time it want to be in the group of www-data which command we need to use, before long back i have used that now i forgot will any one guide me here.
[04:57] <blackyboy1> my files want to be like sysadmin:www-data
[05:04] <narbeh> someone gave me snmp string config. is that v2 or v3 ?
[05:06] <The_Woodsman> Anyone know why a shell script called, for instance 'runall' would give me the error 'command not found' even when i'm in the same directory?
[05:06] <ObrienDave> is it set to be executable?
[05:06] <The_Woodsman> should be, let me check real quick
[05:07] <The_Woodsman> yes
[05:07] <daftykins> you know you need to type "./blah" ?
[05:07] <daftykins> if /path/to/blah isn't in your PATH variable
[05:08] <The_Woodsman> i did that, i was given the error "/bin/csh: bad interpreter: no such file or directory"
[05:08] <daftykins> The_Woodsman: is csh the designated shell the script calls to run?
[05:09] <The_Woodsman> daftykins: i'm actually not sure - i haven't changed any of the settings that ubuntu 14.04 uses by default, does it usually use bash?
[05:09] <daftykins> yes
[05:10] <daftykins> what shebang does the script have?
[05:10] <The_Woodsman> daftykins: okay so i'm in the wrong type of shell, then, right?
[05:10] <The_Woodsman> daftykins, #!/bin/csh
[05:10] <The_Woodsman> daftykins, so i guess that answers it
[05:10] <daftykins> it might be that csh isn't installed
[05:10] <daftykins> !info csh
[05:10] <daftykins> optional ^
[05:10] <daftykins> The_Woodsman: apt-get install csh - then it should run :)
[05:11] <The_Woodsman> daftykins, cool, thanks a bunch

[05:54] <bobbby> ubuntu 14 software updater does not ask for password when installing updates. How can i change that ?
[05:57] <ubuntu-kylin_> bobbby, if you only have a single user, then that user is the root user.  best practice is to make a low privilege account for everyday use and use the root user only for system maintenance.
[05:58] <geirha1> bobbby: If you've recently (like 10-15 minutes ago) entered the password to do another administrative task, it remembers that and doesn't ask you again
[05:59] <ubuntu-kylin_> bobbby, this too ^^^
[06:04] <bobbby> thank you

[07:22] <boaz_> Linux beginner question here: I've installed Eclipse with the Android ADT for the purpose of developing android apps. I haven't used apt-get etc, but downloaded a zip directly from the Android develop site. What do I need to do in order to see it in Gnome desktop env (e.g. when pressing the super button)? I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.
[07:23] <pofderm> I think this has to do with some menu entries

[07:24] <boaz_> Not sure I understand the question. How do I check?

[07:27] <cfhowlett> boaz_, might be better asked in the ubuntugnome channel ???

[07:43] <Garp> Hi.
[07:43] <Fornax96> Hello
[07:45] <Garp> Question: Just installed Ubuntu 14.04 and stepped upon that problem : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1328689 any workaround? Thanks.
[07:48] <Garp> (... ? )
[07:49] <pam> geirha: its simply not installing the script..asking me to restart nautilus.  Did that numerous times.  Didn't do anything
[07:50] <Saw> hi, is there a way to disable the search button at all at ubuntu 14.04 LTS (desktop) ?
[07:53] <drlimbo> good morning
[07:54] <drlimbo> whats the best way to connect to ubuntu desktop from osx with a GUI
[07:54] <drlimbo> VNC is reeealy slow =(
[07:54] <drlimbo> is there a faster way
[07:56] <GrayShade> I have a SMB share that I'm accessing over a PPTP VPN. This worked fine until I changed the VPN server software. Right now, I can mount my share with mount -t cifs .., but when I try to access it from Nautilus, I get a "Connection timed out" message. Any hints? (Ubuntu 14.04)
[07:57] <jargon> how do i fix this: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 90BD7EACED8E640A Launchpad PPA for Doug McMahon
[07:57] <jargon> ?
[07:57] <Garp> drlimbo: what is the connection speed? VNC has a lot of quality rendering and protocols to adapt to different bitrates
[07:58] <drlimbo> Garp: is running over VPN what isnt that fast
[07:58] <drlimbo> but it transfers a loot of data - after maybe 3 minutes it transfered around 50mb traffic
[07:59] <Garp> drlimbo: so, about 2Mb/s ?
[08:00] <drlimbo> could be possible Garp
[08:00] <drlimbo> i can try to make a speedtest
[08:02] <Garp> drlimbo: "According to the makers of VNC, a 33 kilobits-per-second (kbps) connection is adequate for accessing computers with very simple graphics at a reduced frame rate and resolution. Increasing the bandwidth to 128 kbps increases the frame rate, but you should have at least 1 megabit-per-second (mbit) connection for complex graphics at reduced quality or simple images in full color.
[08:02] <Garp> A very fast 100mbit connection provides a seamless user experience. You can access another computer just as if you were sitting in front of it."
[08:02] <Garp> http://www.ehow.com/list_7408003_vnc-bandwidth-requirements.html
[08:03] <drlimbo> mh, i think the transfer-rate isn't the problem - connection to osx over the same connection (VPN) works very well and fast
[08:03] <drlimbo> it looks for the compression / quality-settings arent working on ubuntu and it transfers the "full quality screen"
[08:04] <Garp> So 2Mb/s should be enough to work on simple tasks, but likely not enough for games or even graphic editing (gimp and such)
[08:05] <drlimbo> nono, i just want to put some files around and change some settings - no video, no games, nothing complex
[08:05] <Garp> drlimbo: I had problems with vnc client wrongly assuming fast local transfer because conecting to localhost (but in fact ssh tunnel redirection)
[08:05] <msdws> Hey
[08:06] <drlimbo> ah, thats maybe possible
[08:06] <drlimbo> but im connection over Hamachi VPN
[08:06] <msdws> I've got a question
[08:06] <Garp> drlimbo: usually you can configure the client with options to specify teh quality you want
[08:06] <msdws> Why doeant 14.4 accept vnc??
[08:06] <Garp> !sh
[08:07] <drlimbo> yes i know Garp - but some things are much easier with a GUI
[08:09] <Garp> drlimbo: I usually use: vncviewer -depth 16 -compresslevel 9 -quality 5 -encoding Tight localhost:5901
[08:10] <avelldiroll> drlimbo: you could try freeNX/Nomachine (i don't know if there is a port to macosx though), or try forks like x2go (which has a port to macosx)
[08:11] <avelldiroll> drlimbo: i don't know any vnc client gui that handle well all the quality options of VNC, and it is quite easy to write your own command line with minimal visual options
[08:18] <GrayShade> fwiw, enabling "broadcast support" on the pptp server did the trick
[08:20] <helmut_> hi
[08:21] <msdws> Hey
[08:26] <pam> damnit!
[08:28] <sacarlson> pam: can you see the script at the location ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts ?
[08:28] <sacarlson> pam: oh that's probly the wrong directory
[08:28] <Han_> what's channel for kali linux?
[08:29] <pam> Yes I can see it there...its just not loading up in the menu when I right click the mouse
[08:29] <sacarlson> pam: so you explored there with nautilus?
[08:30] <pam> what do you mean?
[08:31] <sacarlson> pam: you've looked at the  dir ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts with nautilus so it has seen the dir
[08:32] <sacarlson> pam: also is the script set with permision to exicute?   ls -l  ;
[08:33] <pam> sacarlson: not sure
[08:38] <pam> sacarlson: how do I do that?
[08:39] <pam> sacarlson: There is a known bug with this...Need to find out how to get this working https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audio-convert/+bug/130055
[08:39] <sacarlson> you can right click the file in nautilus and see file properties or cd /path/of/file;  ls -l
[08:40] <Garp> Question (same): I just installed 14.04 and got the problem described there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1328689 . In a few words: ecryptfs-migrate-home (or adduser --encrypt-home) doesnt works and fail with "ERROR: Could not mount". It seems that the needed keys are not added to the kernel keyring. Any known workaround? Thanks.
[08:41] <sacarlson> pam:  oh ok did you try that then?  nautilus-script-manager enable ConvertAudioFile
[08:44] <pam> sacarlson: yes...a few times...
[08:44] <sacarlson> Garp: I personally use the program package cryptkeeper that uses the same ecrypt-fs
[08:45] <Garp> sacarlson: but that's for a directory, right, not for the whole home ?
[08:45] <sacarlson> pam: are there any added scripts in nautilus now that do work?
[08:45] <pam> no...
[08:46] <pam> Its the only one I've installed
[08:46] <pam> Have you read this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audio-convert/+bug/130055
[08:46] <sacarlson> Garp:  yes I just enrypt directories I need
[08:47] <Garp> sacarlson: That might be a workaround until a better solution, thanks.
[08:47] <sacarlson> pam: I wouldn't think it required but maybe sudo nautilus-script-manager enable ConvertAudioFile
[08:48] <pam> nope
[08:49] <pam> I've tried that...have you read about the bug?
[08:49] <sacarlson> pam: only the top part
[08:49] <nevermoreraven> pam winff is a media converter that supports nearly every format
[08:50] <pam> nevermoreraven: can I use it by right clicking the file and converting it directly from the context menu?
[08:50] <sacarlson> pam: oh that bug is dated like 2007
[08:51] <nevermoreraven> don't think so pam
[08:51] <pam> sacrlson: apparently its still a problem.  Someone else in here tried to install it and had the same problem
[08:54] <worksaft2> Hej, I'm having problems with SSH. A few days ago, I was able to connect from X to Y without any problems. I'm connecting from Win7 and Putty or Filezilla to a Ubuntu 14.04 machine. The behaviour is rather odd. Sometimes it tells me right away that the connection was refused. Other times I succeed in connecting and am able to use it without limitations, and then I get kicked out of the session at a random time. I have changed nothi
[08:58] <avelldiroll> worksaft2: si your connection reliable, i.e., do you get packet losses when you try to ping the server for extensive times ?
[08:59] <sacarlson> pam: also assume you tried logout and login to your ubuntu account
[09:02] <worksaft2> avelldiroll: Okay, I've been so hung up on the software side that I haven't actually thought of how reliable the link is.
[09:03] <worksaft2> avelldiroll: And of course, now it doesn't fail as quickly as I want it to while I'm pinging the machine. Sigh. I'll give it some more time.
[09:05] <avelldiroll> worksaft2: yeah, having a reproducible failing test is often the hardest thing to gather before being able to think for a solution, good luck

[09:21] <linuu> hi i try to login into xchat in ubuntu pc but i could not able to login, i got the below log while trying to login in freenode channel  "Looking up irc.freenode.net * Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it?  Cycling to next server in FreeNode... * Disconnected ()." can you tell what is the issues
[09:22] <Garp> linuu: are other servers working?
[09:23] <Garp> Garp : first guess would be that you have a network problem on that machine.
[09:23] <linuu> Garp no other also the same issues.
[09:23] <andrewvos> Any ideas how I can temporarily stop EC2 instances in the same security group from access other instances in the same group?
[09:24] <andrewvos> I mean blocking internal ip addresses
[09:24] <Garp> linuu : is the network otherwise fine ? Eg can you browse the web from that PC ?
[09:24] <somsip> andrewvos: use iptables to drop connections from those IPs. though if you have a lot to do, it might be a bit messy
[09:25] <linuu> Garp yes i could use internet in my pc and i could browse.
[09:25] <sickblobs> how to enable/disable a daemon from starting up during boot ?

[09:27] <aLeSD> is it possible to install a previous kernel version ?
[09:29] <lolmaus> When i use my laptop at work, DNS resolution fails constantly: it just won't resolve, immediately reporting a failed attempt. Sometimes i have to refresh the page several times in a row in order to get it loaded. This doesn't happen to my colleagues. We use WiFi with DHCP. I added Google DNS servers in the network manager but it didn't help. I'll appreciate any suggestions on investigating this issue.
[09:29] <linuu> it shows "irc.freenode.net mail is handled by 10 vnarelay02.xxxxcorp.ad.yyyyyy.com."  ( xxxx and yyyyyy is our corporation names)
[09:30] <andrewvos> somsip: Thanks, know any good docs for iptables? I've never really learned it
[09:31] <sacarlson> sickblobs: I think one possible method would be this http://askubuntu.com/questions/19320/how-to-enable-or-disable-services
[09:31] <linuu> Garp, it shows "irc.freenode.net mail is handled by 10 vnarelay02.xxxxcorp.ad.yyyyyy.com."  ( xxxx and yyyyyy is our corporation names)
[09:31] <somsip> andrewvos: I use this iptables -A INPUT  -s <IP_ADDRESS> -j DROP from here http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-iptables-drop/
[09:32] <sacarlson> sickblobs: but I think it might also depend on if the service is setup with /etc/init  or /etc/init.d

[09:50] <val2> but im using fedora
[09:50] <w3rd_> when i attempt apt-get update/upgrade
[09:51] <w3rd_> fetch fails as a result of EOL
[09:52] <w3rd_> so i need to update the repo list, or can i ?
[09:52] <cfhowlett> val2, this is ubuntu.  ask #fedora for fedora support.
[09:52] <val2> #fedora no body
[09:52] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, as I understand it, your new source list must match the version you are attempting to upgrade to.  expect breakage as you move from 8.04 to 14.04
[09:52] <w3rd_> right
[09:52] <val2> i want 2 share my program ,but i dont konw how 2 make a install pack
[09:52] <w3rd_> is there anyway just to update to get to 8.10
[09:52] <cfhowlett> val2, this channel doesn't support fedora.  sorry.
[09:52] <w3rd_> then from 8.10 to 10.04
[09:52] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, yes you can directly (end of life) upgrade the LTS versions.
[09:52] <val2> my program can runing on ubuntu 2
[09:52] <cfhowlett> !packaging | val2,
[09:52] <w3rd_> right, but what source do i need to add to sources.list in order to access these new files
[09:53] <w3rd_> im constantly getting fetch errors
[09:53] <val2> ok
[09:53] <val2> thanks 2 u
[09:53] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, of course.  those repos are long since retired.
[09:53] <sacarlson> w3rd_: maybe version 8 is no longer supported?
[09:54] <w3rd_> ya its not
[09:54] <w3rd_> its EOL
[09:54] <val2> where r u from?
[09:54] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:54] <cfhowlett> Please make sure you have the following sources.list, change CODENAME to your release, e.g. breezy.
[09:54] <cfhowlett> val2, we're all from ubuntu.
[09:54] <w3rd_> cfhowlett: what im asking is
[09:54] <w3rd_> what repo do i add?
[09:54] <sacarlson> w3rd_: ya End Of Life
[09:55] <val2> r u hate Chinese?
[09:55] <sacarlson> w3rd_: I would do a reinstall on a different partition.  just backup the files you need and move them to the new version
[09:55] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, repo to add?  according to the wiki, you update your sources to the target version and then do the install.
[09:55] <w3rd_> ahh
[09:55] <w3rd_> alright
[09:55] <val2> alright ?
[09:56] <val2> do u know im a Chinese!
[09:56] <sacarlson> w3rd_: it will just break the install, when you upgrade normaly you upgrade one version at a time
[09:56] <w3rd_> val2: not meant for you
[09:56] <cfhowlett> !cn | val2,
[09:56] <w3rd_> right
[09:56] <w3rd_> im going to go to 10 first and see how it goes
[09:56] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, 10.04         LTS
[09:56] <w3rd_> yep
[09:56] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, good luck with that /no sarcasm/
[09:57] <w3rd_> thx
[09:57] <val2> ok see u
[09:57] <w3rd_> appreciate the guidance
[09:57] <sacarlson> w3rd_: what do you now run on this version 8 system?
[09:57] <w3rd_> nothing
[09:57] <val2> w3rd_: see u
[09:57] <w3rd_> its just a desktp
[09:57] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, consider upgrading slighty more often next time   :)
[09:58] <w3rd_> not my system
[09:58] <w3rd_> just was given to me
[09:58] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, free puter?  NICE!
[09:58] <sacarlson> w3rd_: then it will take much more time to upgrade than just install anew,  like 15 minutes or less to install fresh.  otherwise each step will take just as long or longer
[09:58] <w3rd_> cfhowlett: yeppers
[09:58] <w3rd_> sacarison: again, i dont have a working cdrom
[09:58] <w3rd_> so this is the only option
[09:59] <cfhowlett> w3rd_, no usb boot support?
[09:59] <w3rd_> nope
[09:59] <w3rd_> older lptp
[09:59] <w3rd_> bios doesnt support
[09:59] <sacarlson> w3rd_: oh but you must have a usb flash drive that's 4G that you can boot from?
[09:59] <w3rd_> i do
[09:59] <w3rd_> but if the bios doesnt support
[09:59] <w3rd_> then you arent booting from it
[10:00] <sacarlson> w3rd_: other option for that is plop program that can boot from cd or many other to boot usb
[10:01] <sacarlson> w3rd_: I guess that old a system grub can't install iso files
[10:01] <w3rd_> its possible
[10:01] <w3rd_> there is that new app that allows you to partition the drive
[10:01] <w3rd_> but i would need to blow away a disk
[10:01] <w3rd_> currently dont have any blank disks
[10:01] <w3rd_> so im screwed on that front as well
[10:02] <w3rd_> anyway.. thanks for all the logic
[10:08] <OOPMan> Hey guys, does anyone have any experience using Compass Style on ubuntu?
[10:16] <sgs> gunner
[10:17] <Guest40136> Hello World
[10:20] <welovfree> mkdir essai/dirB/dir1 can this command create embed directories?
[10:21] <sgs_> hi
[10:21] <welovfree> HELLO
[10:26] <MasterOfDisaster> welovfree: 'man mkdir' says it's 'mkdir -p /foo/bar/baz'
[10:35] <Blaster> My mouse won't click, what should I do?
[10:36] <cfhowlett_> Mac question: can Mac's run a live ubuntu session?  I've only seen installation instructions ...
[10:38] <WilliamDotAT> cfhowlett_, likely
[10:38] <cfhowlett_> WilliamDotAT, I was rather hoping for a more definitive response ... :)   thank you, though.
[10:39] <WilliamDotAT> well
[10:39] <WilliamDotAT> what Mac?
[10:39] <WilliamDotAT> Mac pro 1,1? no.
[10:39] <WilliamDotAT> Any macbook pro? very likely
[10:39] <cfhowlett_> WilliamDotAT, mac air?
[10:39] <WilliamDotAT> im not sure if it can boot live from USB
[10:39] <WilliamDotAT> as it is EFI
[10:39] <WilliamDotAT> but i know it can boot live or install from an external CD drive
[10:39] <cfhowlett_> WilliamDotAT, ahhhh reallly?!
[10:40] <WilliamDotAT> i cant tell you however how well live works without additional drivers
[10:40] <WilliamDotAT> considering Apple is mainly Intel stock hardware
[10:40] <WilliamDotAT> chances are good it works at least ok
[10:40] <WilliamDotAT> no idea about Thunderbolt though
[10:41] <cfhowlett_> WilliamDotAT, dern.  my 2009 Dell is showing its age, and I've been considering my options:  mac air, lenovo x1 carbon or dell m3800.  I tested the x1 at the local lenovo store and everything worked.
[10:42] <WilliamDotAT> the MBA is essentially fully Intel
[10:42] <WilliamDotAT> Chipset, CPU, GPU
[10:42] <WilliamDotAT> the MBPs have AMD cards sometimes which can be annoying
[10:42] <WilliamDotAT> it should work fine
[10:42] <freezer> MBP also have nvidia
[10:42] <WilliamDotAT> yea
[10:42] <cfhowlett_> WilliamDotAT, I saw.  sadly, it seems a few components, e.g. isight, are not linux friendly.
[10:42] <WilliamDotAT> depends on series
[10:43] <WilliamDotAT> yea
[10:43] <WilliamDotAT> i dont think the function keys work either
[10:43] <freezer> mine has nVIDIA and DP/HDMI soldered to it
[10:43] <WilliamDotAT> and the mouse needs a PS2 driver
[10:43] <freezer> so external displays don't work @ Linux
[10:43] <WilliamDotAT> it switches to the Intel i think
[10:43] <cfhowlett_> ah yes, hard solder makes it more difficult to upgrade
[10:43] <WilliamDotAT> if you run linux
[10:43] <freezer> unless there's NVIDIA selected
[10:43] <WilliamDotAT> at least my MBP does
[10:43] <WilliamDotAT> 2012, first with TB
[10:43] <freezer> you can set in MacOS which GPU to use for other OS
[10:44] <freezer> but looks like you can't use both
[10:44] <freezer> this is MBP late 2013
[10:44] <WilliamDotAT> for linux i would not buy AMD anyway
[10:44] <sacarlson> pam: I'm not sure you would be interested but I accedently got your audio-convert to work using caja filemanager that seems to auto pickup the installed nautilus scripts
[10:44] <cfhowlett_> WilliamDotAT, exactly!
[10:45] <WilliamDotAT> i only have AMD GPUs though
[10:45] <WilliamDotAT> so im forced to use windows mainly
[10:45] <cfhowlett_> pam, sacarlson has sorted your query!
[10:45] <sacarlson> cfhowlett_: cool
[10:54] <nisha> hiiiiiiiii rani
[10:55] <Skutov> So could anyone give me a hand setting up my laptop to act as a router? I've been following a couple of guides but haven't had much luck getting it to allow internet access to the devices behind it.
[10:56] <bazhang> !ics | Skutov
[10:59] <sacarlson> Skutov: or if you want to share your internet and get paid for it you can experiment with this https://github.com/sacarlson/mini-isp.debpackage
[11:01] <Skutov> bazhang, Thanks for the link but I've alerady gone through steps in various guides like that and am still not able to get the connection working.
[11:02] <Skutov> sacarlson, While it's not what I'm trying to do at the moment that does look interesting and I think I will need to have a look at that in the future.
[11:02] <sacarlson> Skutov: so what two interfaces are you wanting to share from and too?
[11:03] <Skutov> internet connection with public IP on eth0 to 192.168.0/24 subnet on eth1
[11:04] <sacarlson> Skutov: ok so you want to make it permanent or just share at intermitent times?
[11:04] <Skutov> Ideally I would like it to be attached to the public IP so it's active whenever my laptop is connected to that networe
[11:04] <Skutov> network.*
[11:04] <Skutov> But something I can toggle with a script would also work.
[11:06] <sacarlson> Skutov: I guess I would just write a small script that shutdown network-manager and setup your network with static ip.  at boot time your network manager would again take over
[11:06] <MasterOfDisaster> Skutov: Usual suspects: ip_forward is enabled? SNAT/MASQUERADE enabled? MSS clamping (ADSL,Cable)?
[11:07] <Skutov> MasterOfDisaster, afaik ip_forward is enabled, SNAT set up through webmin, it's a commercial connection through my office so I doubt that there's any clamping or restriction on it.
[11:07] <MasterOfDisaster> Skutov: use tcpdump to find out where the packets go/stop.
[11:07] <pam> sacarlson: how do I do that?
[11:08] <sacarlson> Skutov: oh ya and I guess isc-dhcp-server would also have to be installed with my method and that would still auto start at boot so another added complicaton with my method
[11:08] <MasterOfDisaster> Skutov: a little diagram of what you are trying to do would help. But as it's not that Ubuntu specific, you might want to take it to ##networking.
[11:09] <Skutov> sacarlson, I already have DHCP server set up and working bound to eth1 (which is a USB network adapter which stays in the office.
[11:09] <Skutov> MasterOfDisaster, That sounds like a good idea, I'll do a quick diagram and have an ask in there.
[11:10] <sacarlson> Skutov: but that is on the network that you plan to share?
[11:10] <Skutov> sacarlson, That's on the network I plan to share to
[11:11] <sacarlson> Skutov: well you need another dhcp on the other network oh unless maybe you just bridge the two networks, but that I have never tried
[11:11] <pam> brb...gotta ask you how to fix my issue with the caja filemanager
[11:12] <sacarlson> pam: it just started to work when I installed the python-caja package
[11:12] <pam> Where is that package?
[11:12] <sacarlson> pam: I didn't know caja and nautalius share plugins like that
[11:13] <sacarlson> pam:  in the standard distrubution
[11:14] <vineetdaniel> hi
[11:14] <pam> is it the mate-icon-theme in synaptic?
[11:14] <vineetdaniel> recently one of my SDD on server faced 100% utilisation...and caused server freeze
[11:14] <vineetdaniel> has anybody faced same issue anytim
[11:15] <pam> can't seem to find the package
[11:15] <sacarlson> pam: I run mate and I would assume yes synaptic has it
[11:15] <sacarlson> pam: you can't find the package caja?
[11:16] <claytonzaugg> QUESTION: I reinstalled the os root directory, but still have my old /home and files saved, but it's showing as a separate drive.  How can I make my newly installed home be replaced with my previous /home that I see as a separate partition?
[11:16] <cfhowlett_> !home | claytonzaugg
[11:16] <Guest87103> hello, I am trying to install ubuntu,   with this update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac
[11:16] <Guest87103> /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/javac 1
[11:17] <claytonzaugg> ty
[11:17] <Guest87103> and I have this error, update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac
[11:17] <Guest87103> /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/javac 1
[11:17] <Guest87103> can you please assist?
[11:17] <sacarlson> claytonzaugg: you could move the now present /home/you  to /home/you.org and create a symbolic link from present location to where it is now
[11:17] <pam> hmm
[11:17] <cfhowlett_> ??? /home/you.org              ???
[11:17] <pam> sacarlson: nope...caja isn't showing up...
[11:17] <pam> brb
[11:18] <sacarlson> pam: oh well I presently am running mint that has it
[11:18] <Guest87103> what do I need to do here?
[11:18] <pam> hmm
[11:18] <claytonzaugg> sacarlson, will that treat my folder system, the gui version, to be treated as my old home that I sLink to?
[11:18] <Skutov> sacarlson, MasterOfDisaster here's a quick picture of what I want to set up: http://imgur.com/xGcYuN7
[11:20] <sacarlson> claytonzaugg: I've moved home directories that way before,  you do have to use sudo and it best to do it from another user when you are doing the opertation
[11:21] <claytonzaugg> ubottu, that link you sent me shows me how to set up a new partition, or is there a certain part in there I need to read about transferring my old /home to my new /home?
[11:22] <claytonzaugg> Whoa!
[11:22] <sacarlson> Skutov: ok but this device in the midle is a laptop so not setup permanent?
[11:22] <claytonzaugg> dang that's cool!  A freaking bot, lol rad!  sacarlson, the link the bot gave me (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving) where in there do I transfer my old /home to my new /home?
[11:23] <Skutov> sacarlson, Correct.
[11:23] <cfhowlett_> claytonzaugg, from this point forwad ... <Preparing fstab for the switch> as appropriate
[11:24] <sacarlson> Skutov: and you already have isc-dhcp-server running on eth1 so small script I guess I can give you should work
[11:24] <claytonzaugg> ty cfhowlett_
[11:24] <Skutov> sacarlson, Ok, if you could that would be great. Hopefully it'll help me figure out what's not working with my set up at the moment.
[11:25] <vineetdaniel> recently one of my SDD on server faced 100% utilisation...and caused server freeze
[11:25] <vineetdaniel> has anybody faced same issue anytim
[11:26] <youkie> Hello. I want my perl script run on the boot of my ubuntu, so I add "/usr/bin/perl /root/hello/pl &" to /etc/rc.local. But when I reboot my ubuntu, the perl script is not started. Please help me.
[11:26] <sacarlson> Skutov: I would have to look at this to see what needs to be changed https://github.com/sacarlson/mini-isp.debpackage/blob/master/mini-isp-1.0-1.debpackage/usr/share/mini-isp/foropen_new.sh
[11:27] <sacarlson> Skutov: but that should open up sharing with no restrictions
[11:28] <sacarlson> Skutov: this is the restricted script that might contain some settings that are needed like shuting down network-manager https://github.com/sacarlson/mini-isp.debpackage/blob/master/mini-isp-1.0-1.debpackage/usr/share/mini-isp/masq.sh
[11:28] <afidegnum> please I am having this issue while installing the binary version of java update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac        /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/javac 1          and I am faced with this error  update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac   /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_32/bin/javac 1
[11:31] <sacarlson> youkie: there are serveral ways to start a app at boot, one method is using cron with @reboot http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-execute-cron-job-after-system-reboot/
[11:31] <claytonzaugg> sacarlson, are you aware of what I need to tweak here (http://pastebin.com/pncfszLm) with regards to following the instructions from here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving#Preparing_fstab_for_the_switch) starting at Preparing fstab for the switch?
[11:32] <Skutov> sacarlson, As far as I can see the bits that I need to change to get it working at a bare minimum I have changed. I'm more concerned about getting it working that security at the moment.
[11:32] <sacarlson> claytonzaugg: fstab?  your original home disk already mounts at boot now doesn't it?
[11:32] <sacarlson> claytonzaugg: I'm sure that it could be done that way also
[11:33] <claytonzaugg> sacarlson, it boots but only as a separate partition
[11:33] <sacarlson> claytonzaugg: yes but the partition mounts at boot or not?   does it mount at /media/...
[11:33] <claytonzaugg> sacarlson, I reinstalled the OS, formatted the / directory, but kept my /home directory alone
[11:34] <claytonzaugg> ...that I don't know, I mean I see it in my folder gui, but... I don't think it mounts, no
[11:35] <sacarlson> claytonzaugg: ok then fstab manipulation will be needed
[11:35] <claytonzaugg> okay, sacarlson is that something you can help me with?  I was a little / lot confused while reading that link the bot sent me.
[11:35] <sacarlson> claytonzaugg: might want to create another user with another name than the one you are attempting to recover and give that user sudo privliges
[11:35] <claytonzaugg> sacarlson: should I start from the beginning of that link or...
[11:36] <claytonzaugg> okay
[11:37] <ZieLonKa> Hi, given the following setup: nic1 (eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>), nic2 (eth1 <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>). Now I want to use isc-dhcp-server to assign ip-adresses from <IP_ADDRESS>-<IP_ADDRESS> on eth0, same way on eth1 with 192.168.1.x. Are two (almost same) subnet definitions in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf required, one for each range?
[11:38] <ZieLonKa> any kind help appreciated :>
[11:39] <bazhang> try ##networking ZieLonKa
[11:39] <sacarlson> claytonzaugg: that link looks like it should work but my idea of creating a new user won't work since that will be put in the /home directory you are moving.  maybe just activate root
[11:40] <ZieLonKa> kk thx
[11:40] <sacarlson> claytonzaugg: the home for root is at /root so that user won't be effected by you moving /home.  if you do something wrong in this case it could be difficult to fix with no sudo user that can login
[11:40] <claytonzaugg> ok
[11:41] <claytonzaugg> sacarlson: okay, thank you!
[11:43] <sacarlson> ZieLonKa: you sure you need to have dhcp running on both sides on nic1 and nic2?
[11:43] <sacarlson> ZieLonKa: isn't there a router on one side that can be used as the dhcp on one side?
[11:46] <sacarlson> ZieLonKa: otherwise I guess the answer would be yes but I've never attempted to setup dhcp-server on two nics at the same time before
[11:52] <think__> is there something comparable to yaourt on ubuntu, or am i able to install that on ubuntu like on arch
[11:53] <ZieLonKa> sacarlson: ok, thx
[11:53] <ropeus> wich program must be used to install team speack 3 (not 2) under ubuntu distro
[11:53] <ropeus> thanks for support
[11:54] <sacarlson> think__: so you want to compile and package or just install something?
[11:54] <think__> just install something really in terminal while being vague
[11:55] <sacarlson> think__: then we use apt-get install appname   or a gui like synaptic
[11:56] <think__> gotcha, I figured as much but just like how yaourt pulls results. Thank you!
[11:56] <AlexPortable> [somecodehere] BUG: soft lockup, CPU#0 stuck for 24s! [xorg: 1270]
[11:56] <bazhang> AlexPortable, what is that
[11:57] <AlexPortable> an error I get on my screen
[11:57] <AlexPortable> screen is black, only 1 white line of code that says that ^
[11:57] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: nothing I've ever seen before
[11:58] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: fresh install?
[11:58] <AlexPortable> Yes, but old profile
[11:59] <JoshStrobl> ropeus, http://teamspeak.com/?page=downloads&type=ts3_linux_client_latest
[12:01] <JoshStrobl> ropeus, download the .run file it gives you, open up the terminal and go to your Downloads directly. Do chmod +x TeamSpeak*.run, then after doing that type ./TeamSpeak*.run
[12:01] <JoshStrobl> *Downloads directory
[12:02] <AlexPortable> So anyone?
[12:03] <AlexPortable> I need to get my work done
[12:04] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: all I see is xorg so I assume it's a graphic driver problem
[12:05] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: what's that magic keystroke that pops you into terminal mode where you can maybe do ps -A and see what's running
[12:05] <rtb> what is the preferred way of overcoming the annoyances of older versions of packages? [i use archlinux but am using ubuntu on ec2] do u guys simply compile from source or do you use the package manager to get the latest?
[12:05] <AlexPortable> ctrl alt f1 you mean?
[12:05] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: ya I think that's it
[12:06] <JoshStrobl> rtb, if the latest isn't in the repo, check PPAs, else compile.
[12:06] <rtb> JoshStrobl, thanks
[12:06] <sacarlson> rtb: yes ppa is cool if you wan't almost edge software
[12:06] <rtb> got it sacarlson :)
[12:07] <JoshStrobl> rtb, if you aren't sure what the package name is you can probably just search packages.ubuntu.com
[12:07] <AlexPortable> sacarlson: can't. whole system is unresponsive
[12:07] <JoshStrobl> but you use arch, so I'll assume you know how already :P
[12:07] <rtb> :)
[12:07] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: then reboot in safe mode
[12:07] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: single user mode
[12:07] <AlexPortable> Well after reboot it works fine
[12:08] <matias> Hello
[12:08] <AlexPortable> but then randomly locks up sometimes
[12:08] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: oh it's intermitent?
[12:08] <AlexPortable> intermitent = ?
[12:08] <JoshStrobl> AlexPortable, are you running a newer kernel version than what was provided? changed to a proprietary driver?
[12:08] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: try the propriatary grafic drivers
[12:08] <AlexPortable> Which drivers should I install?
[12:08] <AlexPortable> nvidia 6100 from the top of my head
[12:09] <JoshStrobl> sacarlson, most of the time it is the proprietary drivers that give issues, not stuff like fglrx
[12:09] <JoshStrobl> AlexPortable, did you install a newer kernel or a different graphics driver after you installed your system?
[12:09] <sacarlson> JoshStrobl: ya that's true, I've had problems with some proprietary drivers
[12:09] <AlexPortable> I updated, which gave me a new kernel
[12:10] <AlexPortable> I saw it installing linux something.something
[12:10] <sacarlson> AlexPortable: oh ya new kernel means you have to reinstall the propriatary drivers also
[12:10] <JoshStrobl> sacarlson, not necessarily
[12:10] <AlexPortable> where can I get them?
[12:10] <AlexPortable> repo's, manufacturers website?
[12:10] <sacarlson> JoshStrobl: seems my nvidia had to compile some stuf when I put in a new kernal
[12:11] <JoshStrobl> sacarlson, that is typically automatic, dkms runs on boot
[12:11] <sacarlson> JoshStrobl: or was that something else like virtualbox?
[12:11] <JoshStrobl> sacarlson, no, that updates as well
[12:12] <JoshStrobl> AlexPortable, when you log back into your machine, check if you are using the open source driver or proprietary. Type in the dash something like "Additional" or "Driver".
[12:12] <AlexPortable> standard
[12:12] <AlexPortable> i think
[12:12] <AlexPortable> no nvidia control panel
[12:12] <AlexPortable> how can i install it?
[12:13] <JoshStrobl> so are you running standard or not?
[12:13] <JoshStrobl> sacarlson, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DKMS
[12:13] <AlexPortable> yes standard
[12:13] <AlexPortable> didn't install another driver
[12:13] <JoshStrobl> hmm
[12:13] <JoshStrobl> what options does it give you?
[12:14] <mchelen> how can i figure out what ubuntu package includes the python "video" module?
[12:14] <JoshStrobl> mchelen, sec
[12:15] <JoshStrobl> mchelen, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=trusty&section=all&arch=any&keywords=python&searchon=names
[12:15] <mchelen> kk
[12:15] <mchelen> JoshStrobl: that means reading through pages of package names :(
[12:15] <JoshStrobl> mchelen, check the packages on there, use the search up at the top to narrow down it more. I'm not a python dev, so not much I can do to help ya there :/
[12:15] <JoshStrobl> mchelen, or just doing CTRL+F and typing "video"
[12:16] <mchelen> JoshStrobl: yeah, i tried searching there & with synaptic
[12:16] <JoshStrobl> ah yea
[12:16] <mchelen> JoshStrobl: there is nothing obvious like python-video
[12:16] <JoshStrobl> damn, multiple pages
[12:16] <JoshStrobl> sec
[12:16] <JoshStrobl> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=trusty&section=all&arch=any&keywords=python+video&searchon=names
[12:16] <mchelen> JoshStrobl: maybe this is just a python question
[12:17] <JoshStrobl> mchelen, might be worth asking in #python
[12:17] <mchelen> JoshStrobl: yup thats what im going to do, thanks anyway
[12:22] <mchelen> JoshStrobl: found the problem, for some reason the opencv-doc package leaves a bunch of .py.gz files in /usr/share/doc/opencv-doc/ that need to be gunzipped
[12:22] <AlexPortable> where can I get graphics drivers? repo's, manufacturers website?
[12:23] <JoshStrobl> AlexPortable, from the Additional Drivers section in Ubuntu. Just type it in the Dash.
[12:23] <think> AlexPortable: Nvidia.com has linux drivers and you can use additional drivers section in software and updates
[12:23] <AlexPortable> Don't have the dash anymore
[12:23] <AlexPortable> it froze my system
[12:23] <JoshStrobl> hmm
[12:23] <AlexPortable> so additional drivers or nvidia.com?
[12:23] <JoshStrobl> can you still fire up a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T?
[12:24] <AlexPortable> yes
[12:24] <AlexPortable> i have openbox
[12:24] <JoshStrobl> I'll see what the actual command is to directly open up the additional drivers window
[12:25] <ferbv> AlexPortable: try jockey-gtk
[12:25] <think> software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4 for additional drivers
[12:25] <JoshStrobl> yep
[12:29] <manolos> Hello. I would like to ask something. In ubuntu 14.04 clean install i install LXDE+lxdm. The problem is that when i click logout from menu i get nothing. lxdesession-logout doesnt do anything. Any help?
[12:30] <carver__> hi manolos, i can't really guess why lxdesession-logout would do that, but, may i suggest you install lubuntu? it already comes with lxde
[12:31] <manolos> Well, if i dont fix that anoying thing with lxde menu maybe i will use lubuntu after all
[12:33] <carver__> may be best, if you can backup some of your personal data and simply re-install with lubuntu. i know it must be frrustrating :[
[12:36] <ashley01> Hello
[12:36] <EriC^^> hi
[12:37] <ashley01> I am on Ubuntu but want to put a different linux distro on my USB to try it out. I've tried dd but it made no changes to my USB stick.
[12:39] <geirha> ashley01: uh oh, then the next question is, what did it make changes to instead?
[12:39] <ashley01> i checked my other USB stick and SSD, no changes on them
[12:39] <EriC^^> ashley01: what was the command you ran?
[12:39] <ashley01> dd if=location-of-ISO-here bs=4M of=/dev/sdb
[12:40] <LordDeath> what it the best way to restart KDM when the login screen hangs?
[12:40] <EriC^^> LordDeath: sudo service kdm restart ?
[12:40] <ashley01> i did that sbd is my USB stick with lsblk
[12:41] <ashley01> i did check*
[12:41] <LordDeath> doing /etc/init.d/kdm restart seems to restart it in the currenty tty
[12:41] <carver__> ruhroh, ><
[12:41] <EriC^^> ashley01: try unetbootin, sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[12:41] <LordDeath> but I want to leave it running in tty7
[12:42] <EriC^^> LordDeath: so you have tty8 and want it to restart there ?
[12:42] <LordDeath> EriC^^: it hangs and it switch over to tty1 by pressing ctrl+alt+F1
[12:42] <ashley01> oh guys
[12:42] <ashley01> it did work with dd
[12:42] <LordDeath> there I log in and restart kdm
[12:42] <ashley01> Ubuntu did not refresh my USB stick
[12:43] <LordDeath> but when I to back to tty1 and log out, KDM seems to be killed, too.
[12:43] <ashley01> to show me that the bootloader, partition tables, etc were put on
[12:43] <ashley01> i had to take it out and put it back in again!
[12:43] <JoshStrobl> yea unmounting and remounting would've worked too
[12:43] <ashley01> in, out, shake it all about!
[12:44] <JoshStrobl> I don't think Files handles dynamic drive partition changing, just directory and file changes.
[12:45] <EriC^^> LordDeath: odd
[12:45] <ashley01> it feels so good when something works
[12:47] <EriC^^> yeah
[13:03] <blackthor> mmm can somebody give me a hint:  ubuntu 14.04.1 lts ; fresh install.  there are no rules applied to iptables. i suspected some traffic being dropped and i added a "LOGGING" rule, and it seems to drop traffic.
[13:04] <blackthor> http://pastebin.com/zBfydSVD  what am i missing ?
[13:04] <Morpheusxnl> hello
[13:05] <sacarlson> blackthor: I know of no added rules by default but did you look at sudo iptable -t nat -L
[13:05] <sacarlson> blackthor: maybe iptable -t mangle -L
[13:06] <blackthor> no rules were added
[13:06] <blackthor> just checked those commands
[13:07] <sacarlson> blackthor: you should also see sudo iptables -v -L and see where packets are ending up
[13:07] <blackthor> wtf. i just added     -A INPUT -p tcp -j ACCEPT        and now all issues are gone.
[13:08] <sacarlson> blackthor: oh sounds like fw is running
[13:09] <blackthor> fw?
[13:09] <blackthor> yes i see some kind of crap ufw  but it isn't running
[13:10] <sacarlson> blackthor: maybe sudo ufw disable ?
[13:10] <iptable> sacarlson, iptables. not iptable. iptables
[13:10] <sacarlson> iptable: ya that one
[13:10] <iptable> sacarlson, subtle difference. iptable=dude, iptables=frontend to netfilter
[13:10] <iptable> I don't do rules
[13:10] <ObrienDave> ROFL
[13:11] <iptable> best way to see all the rules you got is by running: iptables-save btw
[13:11] <iptable> it will print all rules to the screen
[13:11] <iptable> blackthor, ^
[13:12] <iptable> blackthor, if there weren't any rules but it was still rejecting, possibly INPUT chain is set to DENY by default?
[13:12] <sacarlson> iptable: but it seems blackthor is also seeing changes of what he has already done
[13:12] <iptable> changes can only happen if you have a "firewall frontend", like the shitty ufw
[13:13] <iptable> disable all frontends and scripts you got which manipulate those rules and try again
[13:13] <blackthor> well; i didn't chose to install ufw, don't know why they do that by default
[13:13] <blackthor> well, i explicitly had to add to allow tcp traffic and now everything seems fine
[13:13] <blackthor> very annoying,  (own ssh access not allowed)
[13:14] <iptable> blackthor, everything seems fine? how about udp for dns so that it doesn't have to failback to tcp?
[13:14] <iptable> ping?
[13:14] <sloof> I've got /etc/network/interfaces configured correctly and my second NIC gets the IP it should if run /etc/init.d/networking restart.  However the 2nd NIC loses it's config 30 seconds later.  What might cause this?  This a 12.04 desktop that I'm configuring via SSH.  Is NetworkManager playing games?
[13:14] <blackthor> yeah... the rest seems working...  (ping, dns, ...)
[13:14] <iptable> blackthor, now, real troubleshooting. check iptables-save. post on pastebin if you can. I will tell you what happened and where the rules are.
[13:14] <iptable> there must be a blocking rule
[13:15] <sacarlson> sloof: try pastbin your /etc/network/interfaces file
[13:16] <iptable> but with iptables, the order is (for internally ending packets): broute brouting, raw prerouting, mangle prerouting, nat prerouting, mangle input, filter input.
[13:16] <sacarlson> sloof: I thought if interfaces takes it network-manager is overriden
[13:16] <blackthor> http://pastebin.com/FjjsDD2d
[13:16] <iptable> sloof, if you have networkmanager, then most likely yes. it's network manager
[13:17] <blackthor> aargh, did a drop all by accident ;)
[13:17] <iptable> sloof, network manager *should* figure out if your interfaces are in interfaces file and not touch them. that's not always the case
[13:17] <sacarlson> sloof: but I've had so many problems with network-manager changing things that I have custom static that i disable it
[13:17] <sloof> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8564794/
[13:17] <iptable> blackthor, well, with that list, it will work out of the box ;)
[13:18] <iptable> sloof, if you have network manager, you should use that to configure your interfaces!
[13:18] <iptable> sloof, or if not using a GUI, uninstall nm, and use interfaces file
[13:18] <iptable> sloof, your interfaces file is correct
[13:19] <sacarlson> sloof: I think you have to have auto on one line auto eth0 eth1
[13:21] <sacarlson> sloof: auto lo eth1 etho
[13:21] <sacarlson> sloof: http://askubuntu.com/questions/76065/how-do-i-configure-two-network-adapters-in-ubuntu-server
[13:22] <iptable> sacarlson, no, no need for auto on one line
[13:22] <iptable> I have over 30 interfaces on my linux router and they are all on different lines. together with the "auto".
[13:22] <iptable> sloof, ^
[13:22] <sacarlson> iptable: it's worth a try but that's the only diff I see
[13:22] <iptable> well, for a fact it does work.
[13:23] <sloof> I disabled NM for now
[13:23] <iptable> sloof, cool, that should resolve your issue. does it?
[13:23] <iptable> oh damn, that's some good tea :)
[13:24] <sloof> I'll tell you in 60 seconds
[13:24] <iptable> haha, cool :D
[13:27] <sloof> IP still there.  NM must have been the problem
[13:27] <Anuska> Hi iptable :*
[13:28] <iptable> well hello love
[13:28] <iptable> sloof, awesome :) don't need it, don't use it ;)
[13:29] <blackthor> iptable: i just reset the whole crap and it seems to be working. thanks for the help though.
[13:32] <thrope> im upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 but the process appears to have stalled on “unpacking samba-common-bin”… there is a “trusty” process using abotu 3% CPU but nothing else seems to be happening.
[13:32] <thrope> what is the best way to proceeed?
[13:32] <osama> I’m upgrading from Fedora 20 to 14.04 Gnome edition ;)
[13:33] <cfhowlett> osama, you cannot upgrade fedora to ubuntu.
[13:34] <osama> cfhowlett: I do it all the time, downgraded to Fedora from 13.10…
[13:34] <sacarlson> thrope: I thought the rule was to only upgrade one step at a time 12.04 12.10...  did they automate that now?
[13:34] <thrope> its lts releases
[13:34] <thrope> so the upgrade manager just prompted me
[13:35] <osama> cfhowlett: upgrade to me is rewriting /
[13:35] <cfhowlett> osama, they are different OS.  you can install a different but you cannot upgrade from OS to a different OS
[13:35] <cfhowlett> osama, so your question is .... ?
[13:35] <ObrienDave> osama, the rest of the world does not share your definition of upgrade/rewriting
[13:36] <cfhowlett> thrope, LTS to LST upgrade = 4 releases
[13:36] <thrope> cfhowlett: I don’t understand your point
[13:37] <cfhowlett> thrope, ah, sacarlson that is.  sorry.
[13:37] <thrope> cfhowlett: I understand the ubuntu release cycle… I am using only LTS releases. I have been on 12.04. Now the 14.04 lts is out I was prompted to upadate
[13:37] <thrope> ah ok
[13:38] <thrope> anyway i killed dpkg and now it seems to be continuing
[13:39] <sacarlson> thrope: I personaly prefer install fresh in a spare partition so if it fails I fall back to what I had.  I've had failures on upgrades before that cost me
[13:41] <ObrienDave> sacarlson, good idea
[13:42] <cfhowlett> sacarlson, lts + clean install FTW
[13:43] <thrope> thanks I’ll think about it for next time
[13:44] <sveinse> Does anyone know of a CA which can issue free SSL certificates for FOSS usages?
[13:45] <sacarlson> sveinse: I know I've used free ssl before but I forget where I got them from
[13:45] <sacarlson> sveinse: maybe it had some restriction good for only 3 months or something
[13:45] <jnxd> sveinse, want done crippling bug discovered in ssl suggesting a replacement
[13:46] <jnxd> *wasn't some
[13:46] <sveinse> jnxd, you talking about heartbleed? That is about the ssl servers, not encryption and signing.
[13:47] <jnxd> no I'm talking of some more recent POODLE
[13:47] <sacarlson>  jnxd sveinse ya I thought they had a fix released within hours
[13:49] <jnxd> http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/10/ssl-broken-again-in-poodle-attack/
[13:49] <sveinse> whoah! I didn't know about POODLE. Scary
[13:49] <reisio> I like dogs
[13:50] <reisio> but we already knew openssl was broken
[13:51] <jnxd> that's as much as I can say. I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough about it fit anything more than spreading the word
[13:51] <sveinse> OK, I might as well revert back to self-signed CA certificates....
[13:52] <sloof> sveinse: CAcert is probably the closest but still isn't that much better than self signed
[13:52] <Aman_> developer
[13:52] <reisio> doesn't seem that scary to me, it says right there that discerning folk use TLS already
[13:53] <sveinse> The only reason for having a central signed cert is because modern browsers loudly complain if you connect to a self-signed server. More so now than before
[13:53] <Aman_> hello
[13:53] <reisio> 'lo aman
[13:54] <Aman_> okay
[13:55] <Aman_> say something
[13:55] <Aman_> i m new here...what is it for
[13:55] <Aman_> ?
[13:55] <cfhowlett> !topic | Aman_,
[13:57] <sacarlson> sveinse: I think I tried this one for free https://www.startssl.com/  but it seemed I still got warnings on some browsers
[13:57] <sacarlson> sveinse: free class1 for one year
[13:58] <sveinse> sacarlson: Yes, but for protecting an apache server you need at least class 2 AFAIK
[13:58] <sveinse> which is not free
[13:58] <cool_boy> how do I grep a keyword in all files of filesystem?
[13:59] <sveinse> grep -r keyword *
[13:59] <Pici> cool_boy: grep -R "foo" /
[14:00] <cool_boy> Pici: thanks for what purpose / is used at last?
[14:00] <cool_boy> sveinse: thanks
[14:01] <Pici> cool_boy: It says to search recursively from the root of the filesystem, while sveinse's command says to search recursively starting from the current folder.
[14:02] <sveinse> It is generally not efficient to grep through / because it will traverse the dynamic file systems, such as /sys and /proc, which does not really make any sense
[14:02] <cool_boy> Pici: great, thanks
[14:03] <Pici> sveinse: Agreed, I wouldn't do it myself, but thats what they asked for ;)
[14:04] <Ky1e> Anyone good with figuring out bluetooth issues?
[14:06] <Ky1e> Can someone please help me with my bluetooth dongle issue
[14:06] <cool_boy> thank you both Pici & sveinse , I learnt more than I asked for
[14:06] <cool_boy> ;)
[14:06] <organicanarchy> anyone else enjoying the netflix for linux?
[14:07] <mrkirran> tits
[14:07] <reisio> mrkirran: :)
[14:07] <reisio> organicanarchy: #polls
[14:08] <hashdah> sudo apt-get remove --purge wine does not remove wine
[14:08] <hashdah> any idea why?
[14:08] <organicanarchy> everywhere im reading saying it works in Ubuntu, but its workign just fine in pretty much any distro
[14:08] <reisio> organicanarchy: yup, that's the case with anything
[14:08] <reisio> works on one distro, works on another
[14:09] <reisio> a lot of people know about Ubuntu but not other distros :p
[14:09] <cfhowlett> hashdah, it DOES remove wine.  it doesn't remove wine menu entries.
[14:09] <hashdah> I had to remove wine1.6 explicitly
[14:10] <organicanarchy> reisio, its probablywhy, im running manjaro and it runs just fine on here
[14:11] <Ky1e> Guess no one here knows about bluetooth
[14:11] <cfhowlett> !patience | Ky1e
[14:11] <vitimiti> Ky1e, and advice, make smart questions, give all the information you can so somebody will want/be able to help you and be patient
[14:13] <Ky1e> Ok well I am using 14.04 and my syslog gives me this error Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x1004 tx timeout
[14:13] <Quatroking> can i run python scripts on ubuntu by default or do I have to install some stuff first?
[14:14] <cfhowlett> !python | quake_guy
[14:14] <cfhowlett> Quatroking, sory quake_guy ^^^
[14:14] <Quatroking> >included in ubuntu
[14:14] <Quatroking> great, thanks
[14:14] <quake_guy> no problem :)
[14:15] <Quatroking> as for running the scripts, do I just throw the .py filename in my terminal and hit enter?
[14:15] <reisio> Quatroking: 'python foo.py'
[14:15] <reisio> Quatroking: or chmod +x foo.py; ./path/to/foo.py
[14:15] <Quatroking> thanks
[14:16] <Quatroking> heheh, foopy
[14:16] <reisio> or put it into /usr/local/bin/, with chmod +x
[14:16] <reisio> or any number of other ways :)
[14:16] <reisio> python foo is the simplest way
[14:16] <barath> Hi guys I really need some help with plex media server?
[14:16] <reisio> it says run this, run it as python, do it
[14:17] <Quatroking> sounds easy enough, I need it to run a script someone wrote that allows me to generate index.html files for my public dropbox folders
[14:18] <reisio> Quatroking: :p
[14:18] <reisio> Quatroking: what's it do, exactly?
[14:18] <Quatroking> with dropbox you can link people to files in your public folder but not to the folder itself so you'd need an html file with a directory listing
[14:19] <Quatroking> I'd write this up quickly with C# on my windows rig but I'm lazy so I just googled up someone else's solution
[14:20] <rinozo33> hello, quick q: regarding updates how do you do the "ticking of the box" operation (for security/updates/proposed/backports) from terminal?
[14:20] <reisio> I'm guessing I'd do it with a shell script
[14:20] <reisio> Quatroking: you can use C# on Unix, too :)
[14:20] <Quatroking> with mono, right?
[14:20] <reisio> yeah
[14:20] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
[14:20] <Quatroking> Never tried out mono before, I've been using VS for years
[14:21] <stormzen> On Ubuntu 14.04.1, can the network service be stopped with sudo service networking stop?  It fails for me.  I'm trying to figure out if that's expected behavior.
[14:21] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: hithank, no that's not what i am asking
[14:21] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: you know in the update manager settings the boxes you can tick...
[14:22] <swift110-phone> Hey
[14:22] <iptable> stormzen, do you have network manager installed and do you use it?
[14:22] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: to choose which updates
[14:22] <reisio> swift110-phone: hey
[14:22] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, ah, that.  you can edit your sources.list but I've not done it in quite a while.
[14:22] <iptable> stormzen, if you do, then this is why netowrking stop doesn't work for you. also, it's best to ifdown the interfaces instead.
[14:22] <swift110-phone> How r u reisio
[14:22] <stormzen> iptable, I do, and sometimes.  But I'm not necessarily attached to it.
[14:22] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: there are 4 tickable boxes: security/updates/proposed/backports
[14:22] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:23] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: is it just a true/false kind of thing?
[14:23] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, binary, yes.  it's on or it's off.
[14:24] <iptable> this is a very weird conversation
[14:24] <Quatroking> apparently you can produce HTML output with Tree, anybody know about this?
[14:24] <iptable> Oak?
[14:24] <Quatroking> No, Mahogany
[14:24] <stormzen> iptable, That's reasonable.  What led me to ask the question was that I'm having issues with connecting to non-home networks.  The signal gets dropped, if it connects at all, from being suspended from home, and it won't connect to networks afterward.  I have centrino advanced 6205 N that uses iwlwifi.
[14:24] <Quatroking> :P
[14:25] <amr> besides linking me to the SO and askubuntu pages, has anyone here got citrix receiver working on a 64bit install?
[14:27] <LordDeath> sftp over filezilla does not work if I have a "your LDAP password will expire soon" message ^^
[14:27] <WereCatf> How do I disable something called powerdevil? I'm getting totally insane memoryleak in kded4 (~10GB RAM usage all by itself!) and a Google-search appears to say it's due to powerdevil
[14:27] <LordDeath> strange bug...
[14:27] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: do you mind pastebinning your sources.list for me? i want to see how it looks by default (if yours is default)
[14:28] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, pretty close to default.  wait 1
[14:29] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, http://ur1.ca/idl4f
[14:29] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: thank you
[14:29] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, happy2help
[14:29] <LJSeinfeld> Having trouble with scripting openvpn connections… I have a script that runs as a (root) cron job that checks to see if my vpn connection is OK, if it isn’t it kills openvpn and calls a script to connect the vpn.  The killing works.. the re-connecting doesn’t.  But if I call the reconnect script from the terminal it works… weird
[14:30] <rinozo33> how do you turn them on/off (i dont see true/false)
[14:30] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: how do you turn them on/off (i dont see true/false)
[14:30] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, "uncomment the following lines ..."  remove the ##
[14:30] <Quatroking> here's a quick question: how do i go one directory up with terminal
[14:30] <Quatroking> in windows this is cd.., what is it in linux?
[14:30] <LJSeinfeld> cd ..
[14:30] <Quatroking> oh, a space
[14:31] <Quatroking> thanks
[14:31] <stormzen> hah, I thought that was  a trick question, of some sort.  :p
[14:31] <stormzen> does it really work without the space in windows?
[14:31] <carver__> yes
[14:32] <Quatroking> yep
[14:32] <stormzen> intriguing.
[14:32] <Quatroking> makes it quick to type as well
[14:32] <Quatroking> not sure when they added that though, either in xp or in vista
[14:32] <LJSeinfeld> lol.. yeah that spacebar is tough to get to reliably :D
[14:33] <stormzen> lol
[14:33] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: ok i am good. thankyou again bye
[14:33] <Quatroking> LJSeinfeld, hey man, it's still ONE ENTIRE KEYSTROKE!
[14:33] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, bookmark this tool:  http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php
[14:33] <Quatroking> don't want to risk getting RSI now do we
[14:34] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: ok, what is it for?
[14:34] <LJSeinfeld> technically its 25% of the work… but if it’s a huge deal you could alias a command … like “up” or something… more savings :)
[14:34] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, rebuilding sources
[14:34] <Quatroking> is it possible to create an alias of some sorts so I can use cd.. as a shortcut for cd ..?
[14:34] <Quatroking> ha
[14:34] <Quatroking> well, LJSeinfeld, how does aliasing work
[14:34] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: for experts or beginners?
[14:34] <LJSeinfeld> look at ~./bashrc
[14:35] <LJSeinfeld> err ~/.bashrc
[14:35] <cfhowlett> rinozo33, play with it it.  it's pretty much point & shoot.
[14:35] <pbx> Quatroking: alias cd..='cd ..'
[14:35] <Quatroking> thanks!
[14:35] <Quatroking> awesome, this is working great
[14:36] <WereCatf> No one has any idea about kded4 leaking memory or about disabling powerdevil?
[14:36] <LJSeinfeld> now tell me how to get a script fired by (root’s) cron to bring my VPN connection back up :D
[14:36] <LJSeinfeld> lol
[14:36] <rinozo33> cfhowlett: yes cuz i am a beginner (as you can see :) ok, bye, thanks
[14:37] <LJSeinfeld> you’d think it would just work… but it doesn’t.  I’m not really sure how to (which log, etc) troubleshoot it.
[14:37] <stormzen> LJSeinfeld, I think it's in the main log, /var/log/message ?
[14:38] <stormzen> LJSeinfeld, what is the issue that you're having?
[14:39] <stormzen> LJSeinfeld, the trickiest thing about crontab with root to me, has something to do with root's locale, or lack thereof.
[14:40] <stormzen> LJSeinfeld, are you modifying /etc/crontab directly?
[14:44] <stormzen> LJSeinfeld, sorry, /var/log/syslog, according to this:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/56683/where-is-the-cron-crontab-log  ... Perhaps its been too long for me since I've played with this to be of any help.
[14:45]  * stormzen wanders off
[14:46] <cafe> @@@
[14:47] <LJSeinfeld> sudo crontab -e is what I’m doing
[14:48] <LJSeinfeld> to run the vpn check script every 5 minutes
[14:49] <LJSeinfeld> if the vpn check doesn’t like what it sees, it kills openvpn (that works) and sends me a prowl message.  It should then also run my “firevpn.sh” script… but that part never seems to work
[14:49] <LJSeinfeld> if i call firevpn.sh (as sudo), it works just fine
[14:52] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: How does it kill openvpn exactly?
[14:52] <LJSeinfeld> script runs killall openvpn
[14:53] <LJSeinfeld> just to make sure it’s not lingering on a non-responsive connection
[14:53] <geirha> ok, and the script is named firevpn, so that won't accidentally match that at least
[14:53] <LJSeinfeld> right
[14:53] <LJSeinfeld> althought i’ve never thought about that :D….
[14:53] <LJSeinfeld> happy accident
[14:54] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: I generally recommend not to use killall, pgrep and pkill in scripts, but that's beside the point since it's not the problem here. Perhaps the next command is not in PATH
[14:54] <WereCatf> Is anyone familiar with kded4 leaking memory like a sieve?
[14:55] <OerHeks> WereCatf, you might better ask in #Kubuntu.
[14:55] <LJSeinfeld> I’m sure some of my ideas are kinda kludgy… but I’m learning as I go.. solutions to get more elegant as I get better :D
[14:56] <LJSeinfeld> vpncheck.sh :  http://ecklund.us/paste/?947b29d23ff1140c#rQYtRnSYavAx/477qka/mq7xn7oGpsSTMm/o9+wJd0c=
[14:56] <Alan_bugZ> Hello
[14:57] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: Ok, so VPN-down.sh, what does that do?
[14:58] <LJSeinfeld> firevpn.sh  http://ecklund.us/paste/?c1d81b74835a601c#JnuqTNHeUZEcqaQjnnSuI2h9nqmIDrJZePkwhc/B8ww=
[14:58] <LJSeinfeld> VPN-down coming…
[14:59] <Morpheusxnl> i use virtualmin on ubuntu and i am wondering how the virtualservers and their users get created in the background. any ideas how i can find or see this
[14:59] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: I'm guessing you'll find that it runs some command from /sbin or /usr/sbin  which are not in cron's PATH by default. In which case, set PATH at the top of the script. http://askubuntu.com/a/23438/9016
[15:00] <LJSeinfeld> http://ecklund.us/paste/?de6a908ffb9a6c87#905y6O0GNCiccyPdklIJ2es/mzUGnLNaUTY7+E0WQy4=
[15:00] <LJSeinfeld> VPN-down.sh
[15:00] <Joel> can someone recomend a terminal that has tabs, and supports using ctrl+tab to switch between them?
[15:01] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: ah yes, openvpn is located in /usr/sbin/ I believe, run ''type -P openvpn'' to confirm
[15:01] <WereCatf> Joel: I thought you could just change the shortcut in kterminal for that?
[15:01] <geirha> In which case put    PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin  at the start of the script
[15:01] <Joel> WereCatf, I'll try kterminal, thanks.
[15:01] <WereCatf> I mean, konsole
[15:02] <Joel> ugh, 181mb of deps for that
[15:02] <LJSeinfeld> it’s in /usr/sbin/openvpn
[15:02] <WereCatf> I'm not sure, though, I'm new to KDE myself, too. And it seems like I won't be using it for long if I can't get the memory-leak fixed.
[15:02] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: same with the  service  and  stop  cl
[15:02] <geirha> *commands
[15:03] <LJSeinfeld> so mabye the script fails at service stop?
[15:03] <geirha> So both firevpn and VPN-down need PATH adjusted
[15:03] <LJSeinfeld> lemme give that a try
[15:03] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: yes, service is a script that will eventually run the stop command in this case, and the stop command is in /sbin
[15:04] <OerHeks>   /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --ssl-version-min=tls1
[15:05] <LJSeinfeld> killed openvpn.. lets see if it restarts
[15:05] <LJSeinfeld> just got my prowl message that the vpn is down
[15:06] <Hortense23>  Free Porn for Life!. Click Here! http://bit.do/my_videos69
[15:08] <LJSeinfeld> sweet, I was hoping for free porn for life..
[15:09] <LJSeinfeld> vpn check script should run and do something any minute now.. :::crosses fingers:::
[15:09] <ObrienDave> ah, the simple pleasures of life LOL
[15:10] <LJSeinfeld> whoohoo —
[15:10] <LJSeinfeld> vpn just came back up automagically :D
[15:11] <LJSeinfeld> thanks geirha :)
[15:11] <edward__> hello
[15:11] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: yay :)
[15:12] <edward__> China
[15:12] <edward__> you?
[15:12] <LJSeinfeld> one step closer to automatic media control :)
[15:12] <LJSeinfeld> thanks again
[15:12] <edward__> ?
[15:12] <edward__> ???
[15:12] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: there are further improvements that can be made to those scripts though, such as error handling, and there are some bugs that will likely eventually trigger
[15:12] <Pici> edward__: This is the official Ubuntu support channel, did you have a question?
[15:13] <edward__> oh,i find it's hard to install the CodeBlocks
[15:14] <LJSeinfeld> error handling is something that I’m not even close to being proficient enough to handle
[15:14] <LJSeinfeld> yet
[15:14] <LJSeinfeld> coming to bash from the level of “almost good enough to be dangerous” in applescript, lol
[15:15] <ObrienDave> scary thought ;P
[15:15] <LJSeinfeld> with the occasional “do shell script” command that got me going on bash stuff
[15:17] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: Well, if you want to become a bash "pro", the links in   /topic #bash   will be a good start.
[15:19] <LJSeinfeld> cool— I’ll check them out.  Currently I’m using google…
[15:19] <LJSeinfeld> lol
[15:20] <LJSeinfeld> but have read / done some tutorials, and lurked around stackechange a lot
[15:21] <geirha> LJSeinfeld: In #bash we have a !google factoid that recommends not using google :P and stackexchange is generally a bad source for bash scripting too
[15:21] <LJSeinfeld> that figures ….
[15:22] <LJSeinfeld> "If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind." - Kurt Vonnegut
[15:22] <LJSeinfeld> that’s pretty much where I’m at currently…
[15:23] <Joel> Accidentally removed "Applications Places" from the top bar in gnome, how do I add that back? :\
[15:23] <Joel> whoop, got it, bnm
[15:23] <ObrienDave> we love self helpers LOL
[15:24] <Joel> :)
[15:24] <Joel> Another odd one, how do I copy a shortcut in the menu to another spot in the menu?
[15:25] <verodeb> hi ppl
[15:25] <ObrienDave> use menu editor to create a new launcher and paste the info from the one you want to copy
[15:25] <verodeb> i need to know what the command smem throws in the PSS Column is in bytes or what?
[15:26] <Joel> ObrienDave, icky, there's no easy way to get the same icon doing that :(
[15:27] <lindw0rm> Hi, I have a question. I am in search of a service that can act like cron, but with one difference. Starting a script oevery 1710th of a Second. Does anybody have an idea?
[15:27] <OerHeks> verodeb, kb
[15:28] <ObrienDave> Joel, click the icon and select the one you want. fairly easy
[15:28] <verodeb> ty OerHeks
[15:28] <Guest42577> hi everyone
[15:28] <lindw0rm> * 1/10th of a second
[15:28] <verodeb> is this smem more accurate to measure memory used by a process in real time?
[15:28] <Joel> ObrienDave, it gives me a directory listing when I do that, not a choice of icons.
[15:28] <ObrienDave> lindw0rm, ok, i'm curious, why every 1710th of a second, particularly?
[15:29] <lindw0rm> 1/10th, sry
[15:29] <ObrienDave> Joel, hmm, sec
[15:30] <lindw0rm> ObrienDave i argued that as well. they have build a queue script taht they want to have fired at that rate.
[15:30] <ObrienDave> Joel, strange, MenuLibre gives me the option to choose an Icon from a directory
[15:31] <ObrienDave> Joel, i'm using Xubuntu
[15:31] <Joel> ObrienDave, I have no idea where the path to the icon would be :\
[15:31] <Guest42577> i have a problem I can not seem to extract a zip file
[15:32] <Guest42577> on ubuntu 14.04
[15:32] <ObrienDave> Joel, sorry, i wouldn't know where it is either
[15:32] <Joel> ObrienDave, no worries, just a reminder of why linux as a desktop is so painful
[15:33] <ObrienDave> Joel, beats Windows ;P
[15:34] <manlin> lindw0rm: script it with infinite while loop and sleep command. i think sleep command will accept floating point arguments. sleep 0.1 is 1/10th of a second which is 100 milliseconds
[15:34] <Joel> ObrienDave, not really :P
[15:35] <pbx> oh goody, platform war talk in #ubuntu
[15:35] <ObrienDave> Joel, most here would disagree with you :)
[15:35] <Joel> pbx <3
[15:35] <ObrienDave> anyway, that's getting OT
[15:35] <Joel> pbx want to argue which pbx is the best next? ;)
[15:38] <pavlos> Guest42577, from a command line you can test the integrity ... unzip -t <zipfile>

[15:42] <Guest41965> ls
[15:42] <Quatroking> quick question, not sure if this is the right place but I don't know where else to ask: how does a dir-info file look like?
[15:42] <Quatroking> I've googled it but can't find any examples
[15:43] <Quatroking> also, I'm understanding it right that they provide metadata for directories, correct?
[15:44] <OerHeks> never heard of such dir info file
[15:45] <Quatroking> a python script I use to generate html directory listings for my public dropbox folder mentions it, I assumed it was used in more cases than just this
[15:46] <EriC^^> Quatroking: stat <dir> shows some info
[15:47] <sacarlson> Quatroking: just ls -l  provides some added info
[15:47] <afidegnum> hello, using apache ant, I am trying to build an installation and I am faced with Buildfile build.xml does not exist, build failed. how do i fix that ?
[15:47] <Quatroking> sacarlson, not sure if that's the same thing though
[15:48] <EriC^^> Quatroking: seems a bit odd, directories are file themselves, why would there be another file that has info on them anyways
[15:48] <Quatroking> "If a directory contains a file with dir-info in it's name (dir-name, dir-name.txt, dir-name.html, - all these names are valid) the contents of the file will be used in the index.html as and additional information about directory content."
[15:48] <sacarlson> afidegnum: is it some customized apache?  why isn't apt-get install apache ;  good enuf?
[15:49] <Quatroking> EriC^^, I could see people using metadata files for their folders indicating folder usage and stuff
[15:49] <afidegnum> well, I am trying to install openmeetings and I am required to install apache ant
[15:49] <EriC^^> Quatroking: i think this pertains to the program or service rather than linux itself
[15:50] <Quatroking> alright, I thought it was a linux thing seeing how a LOT of linux programs use readme/setup/etc. files without extensions
[15:50] <Quatroking> figured DIR-INFO could be one of those files as well
[15:50] <EriC^^> Quatroking: maybe, who knows, no idea about it though
[15:51] <sacarlson> Quatroking: maybe you mean the file header that sometimes provides added info of the file type
[15:51] <Quatroking> nah, don't think so
[15:52] <sacarlson> Quatroking: as I can play a music file with a double click it doesn't seem to mater what the last 3 leter *.xxx are
[15:53] <Quatroking> yeah but that's in the file itself, something a directory can't have as they're not files
[15:53] <Quatroking> I can't find anything on google about this either, ugghhhh
[16:00] <sacarlson> Quatroking: looks like the most complete info I can find is the stat command
[16:01] <sacarlson> Quatroking: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/display-file-or-file-system-status.html

[16:17] <ybon_burundi> Hi all, I'm in an humanitarian mission in Burundi, with little Internet and electricity, and I'm stuck with a server that won't boot, not sure why, I've tried boot repair, and here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/8565575/ Any hint by chance?
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> ybon_burundi: what happens when you try to boot?
[16:17] <ybon_burundi> (Sorry if I'm disconnected, it may occur at any time due to no electricity :s )
[16:18] <ybon_burundi> ActionParsnip: I've the boot chooser, and when I choose Ubuntu, I'm back to "Lenovo" screen and again to the boot chooser
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> ybon_burundi: have you tested your RAM using Memtest?
[16:19] <ybon_burundi> it occured :/
[16:19] <ybon_burundi> ActionParsnip: I've been out of electricity/internet for one minute, so if you answered something, I've missed it :(
[16:24] <sacarlson> ybon_burundi: from what I see in your pastebin it must have booted from your cd drive
[16:25] <ybon_burundi> sacarlson: ah, interesting, I think I remember that CD is the first option in the boot order
[16:25] <ybon_burundi> sacarlson: but I've also tried to switch that without success
[16:25] <ybon_burundi> btw the cd drive is empty
[16:26] <ybon_burundi> (I'm right now using an USB stick to run ubuntu and access internet)
[16:26] <afidegnum> hello, pls using ubuntu 14, how do i install java JRE?

[16:28] <ybon_burundi> ah
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> afidegnum: webupd8 has a handy ppa to install oracle java
[16:29] <ybon_burundi> I've used the one from the F12 menu I meant
[16:29] <OerHeks> afidegnum, just use 'sudo update-alternatives --config java" and select the java from menu

[16:31] <beginner> good night or day
[16:32] <OerHeks> afidegnum, java6 is dead ?
[16:32] <sacarlson> ybon_burundi: I guess it's booting from a usb flash disk on /dev/sdb1  that is booting like a cdrom
[16:32] <afidegnum> no, I am trying to install openmeetings and I am referred to java 6
[16:32] <geirha> best use update-java-alternatives instead
[16:32] <beginner> i install mongo db a desktop machine and use as server. my server can accept all sql loads ?
[16:33] <ybon_burundi> sacarlson: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is mounted on /cdrom when I try to mount /dev/sdb1
[16:33] <Basketball> ActionParsnip, can you please help me
[16:33] <ybon_burundi> sacarlson: which seems to be what you are suggesting, right?
[16:33] <sacarlson> ybon_burundi: ok so can you mount sda1 and see the contents?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Basketball: without knowing what your issue is, how can I say..
[16:34] <Basketball> ActionParsnip, i have rtcwake on a cronjob except it wont work
[16:34] <sacarlson> ybon_burundi: as that looks to be what is normaly to boot ubuntu 14.x

[16:37] <geirha> afidegnum: so you haven't installed java via apt?
[16:37] <ybon_burundi> sacarlson: can this be a side effect of running boot-repair?
[16:38] <ybon_burundi> strange files names, "??", "n?" also
[16:38] <sacarlson> ybon_burundi: I'm not sure maybe it did some fsk disk fix or something and left some strange files from a partly corupted disk?
[16:38] <ybon_burundi> should I remove them? I don't think they are a problem per se, are they?
[16:38] <FilthyMacNasty> well, if they were put there by a baddie
[16:38] <ybon_burundi> sacarlson: disk should be ok, at least I've run the disk test from F12 menu without issue
[16:39] <afidegnum> no,
