[00:00] <k1l> gadnuk: just one works at one time
[00:00] <Fresh> ok thanks I will try shortly
[00:00] <Jordan_U> vimes: There's usually no problem with allowing all *outgoing* ports. http generally uses randomly generated source ports when initiating a connection from client to server.
[00:01] <vimes> You sure? seems terribly unsafe. but isn't there a way to check what port apt-get tries to use
[00:01] <Jordan_U> vimes: (And then smart firewalls notice that this port was requested and allow a corresponding reply to that port).
[00:01] <Jordan_U> vimes: Never mind, I messed my first message up.
[00:03] <RocketLL_Ubuntu> Hi, so I have ubuntu running on an old laptop.
[00:03] <vimes> opening all ports outbound didn't solve the problem
[00:03] <Jordan_U> vimes: Generally an https connection starts with the client making a request *to* port 80 on a remote server, with a source port that is randomly generated. Then the server replies with a message to the port that the client gave it.
[00:03] <typicalwop> ciao
[00:03] <Jordan_U> vimes: s/https/http/ (it's port 443 for https)
[00:03] <typicalwop> !list
[00:03] <vimes> I have 443 open for both inbound and  outbound traffic
[00:03] <RocketLL_Ubuntu> It has multiple graphical problems(screen flickering, white lines, etc). My GPU is [AMD/ATI] RS600M [Radeon Xpress 1250]. How can I fix this?
[00:04] <vimes> Jordan_U, http://bildr.no/view/RWdYMVl1
[00:04] <vimes> (I'll close ports that I can close later)
[00:06] <Jordan_U> vimes: But you also have to have your firewall configured to allow incomming connections on any port which was requested by the client which is in your network, i.e. if the client sends a request to google.com on port 80, with a source port of 12345 then your firewall would open port 12345 for the duration of the tcp connection.
[00:07] <Muimi> How do I create a new simlync for apache ?
[00:07] <vimes> opening port 53 on udp solved the apt-get problem, but still can't ping websites
[00:07] <Jordan_U> vimes: In homes, this is generally achieved through NAT, which forwards ports dynamically based on requests sent from within the network and the source port of those requests, but NAT is not the only way to accomplish this.
[00:07] <gadnuk> k1l: does that mean it will conflict?
[00:08] <Jordan_U> vimes: You could also allow all unprivileged ports.
[00:08] <k1l> gadnuk: in best case NM will just stop working.
[00:08] <Maple> Can someone help me install a program?
[00:09] <gueriLLaPunK|MBP> sudo apt-get install <program>
[00:10] <Maple> Im trying to install qjoypad. an older version of it but when I go to install it ./config I get an error message saying I need libxtst to compile the program...
[00:10] <mintyfresh> where I find all old torrents? Want old brown ubuntu 4 vm. dapper n stuff
[00:10] <Maple> torrentz.eu
[00:11] <gueriLLaPunK|MBP> Maple - yeah I dunno about that
[00:11] <Maple> if not there there is no torrent..
[00:11] <Maple> damn..
[00:11] <Maple> what is libxtst?
[00:12] <genii> mintyfresh: Just go grab it directly off of old-releases.ubuntu.com
[00:12] <k1l> mintyfresh: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[00:13] <mintyfresh> genii + k1l - haha! CHEERS!!!!
[00:14] <Maple> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1518647
[00:14] <Maple> I foundez it~
[00:15] <Muimi> Can anyone help me change my symlink's default please?
[00:15] <Jordan_U> Muimi: Try explaining better what problem you're actually having.
[00:17] <mhzupyours> say ...has anyone tried to compile wine on ubuntu
[00:17] <k1l> mhzupyours: compile?
[00:17] <hggdh> prolly build
[00:17] <mhzupyours> yes...i am running into types errors...and i am not sure how it links to ip6 issues.
[00:18] <mhzupyours> and what does dwarf build mode mean...is that reduced functionality
[00:19] <Maple> What is QT?
[00:19] <Athena> Hello!
[00:19] <mhzupyours> Athena...hello
[00:19] <Maple> Error: you need at least Qt version 4.2 to use this program
[00:19] <Athena> New-user to Ubunto here with a few noob questions.
[00:20] <mintyfresh> Maple: it haz all the wigets
[00:20] <swengin> Jordan_U: when I chose recovery mode it says /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxx does not exist dropping to shell
[00:20] <k1l> Maple: qt is a toolkit.
[00:20] <Maple> How do I get Qt?
[00:20] <swengin> and then busybox v1.21.1
[00:20] <Athena> I tried downloading and installing VLC yesterday, it's still at about 3% and is not continuing any further; how do I fix this?
[00:21] <Maple> You dont need VLC everything linux plays the good stuff MKV and the such~
[00:21] <mhzupyours> are there any ubuntu people that use a compiler
[00:21] <Athena> Okay, well hwo do i stop the installation?
[00:21] <Athena> how do I*
[00:21] <k1l> Maple: install qt4-default
[00:21] <k1l> Maple: your software should come with a list of stuff to be installed as depencies. read the readme
[00:22] <genii> Maple: Are you on 10.04 as that tutorial for compiling qjoypad was for?
[00:22] <k1l> Athena: loaded form where?
[00:22] <mhzupyours> if the build is a dward mode does that mean there are bigshots with special types files that control the ip6 stuff and wine
[00:22] <mhzupyours> dwarf mode
[00:22] <Athena> k1l: I have no idea. I used the linux installer app thing and it's been trying to install for the past day.
[00:22] <k1l> Athena: the software center should have vlc already.
[00:22] <Maple> I just went on sourceforge and got it.
[00:23] <Jordan_U> swengin: From the busybox shell, what is the output of "cat /proc/partitions"?
[00:23] <k1l> Maple: software that is hosted on sourceforge can be considered deprecated
[00:23] <Athena> k1l: I installed it from there, but it's been on 3-ish percent for the past 12+ hours.
[00:23] <k1l> Athena: :/
[00:23] <Athena> k1l: how do I stop the installation?
[00:23] <k1l> Athena: you go slow hardware or internet?
[00:24] <Athena> k1l: I have a slow processor, but not THAT slow.
[00:24] <mhzupyours> is there anybody that uses a compiler around here.
[00:24] <Athena> k1l: I'm pretty sure it's just an internal error of some sort, how do I stop it so I can restart it?
[00:24] <svm_invictvs> WHat is this tryign to tell me?
[00:24] <svm_invictvs> W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/upubuntu-com/virtual/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found

[00:25] <Maple> If these settings are okay, go ahead and run 'make' and
[00:25] <Maple> then 'make install'.
[00:25] <Maple> To make changes, run ./config --help for details.

[00:25] <k1l> svm_invictvs: that PPA doesnt have trusty packages. you are using a out of date PPA
[00:25] <Athena> k1l: I have no option to do so. I see it on the side-bar thingy and it's been at the same percentage for along while.
[00:25] <mintyfresh> svm_invictvs: 404 not found
[00:25] <svm_invictvs> How do I rectify that?
[00:25] <mhzupyours> Maple..what is with the 64 bit crap...most people haven't even got the 32 bit stuff working yet
[00:26] <k1l> svm_invictvs: i already verified this for you. but you can look on the PPA website on launchpad.net
[00:27] <Maple> idk im sorta new. Soooo what? This wont work then?
[00:27] <svm_invictvs> hm?
[00:27] <svm_invictvs> k1l you have?
[00:27] <swengin> Jordan_U: sdb sdb1 sda1 sda2 sda5
[00:27] <squinty> svm_invictvs,  http://ppa.launchpad.net/upubuntu-com/virtual/ubuntu/dists/   use your web browser to see there is no trusty repo
[00:27] <mhzupyours> Maple..you seem to at least know how to run a compiler...do you have any idea why the dwarf mode is selected in wine...and why __u32 types are a big problem
 svm_invictvs: that PPA doesnt have trusty packages. you are using a out of date PPA
[00:27] <svm_invictvs> SO how do I rectify that?
[00:27] <Athena> k1l: I have no option to do so. I see it on the side-bar thingy and it's been at the same percentage for along while.
[00:27] <mhzupyours> Maple...plus the socket issues.
[00:28] <Maple> No! I dont know how to run a compiler lolz. I have zero idea what any of that is.
[00:28] <Jordan_U> swengin: OK, is the drive with three partitions the one that has your install on it?
[00:28] <Maple> n i dont have wine
[00:28] <svm_invictvs> sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:whatever/ppa ?
[00:28] <Athena> k1l: so I guess my question is how do I end the process that's installing VLC?
[00:28] <mintyfresh> Maple: you don't even have a compiler there, bro
[00:28] <mhzupyours> Maple..is there some big shots that have special files...that dwarf modes don't get
[00:28] <k1l> Athena: can you put the output of "ps ax | grep -i center" into paste.ubuntu.com and show the link here?
[00:29] <swengin> Jordan_U: I bet yes
[00:29] <Athena> k1l: I have no idea what any of that means.
[00:29] <k1l> svm_invictvs: or better: ppa-purge
[00:29] <k1l> !ppa-purge | svm_invictvs
[00:29] <Maple> just becauz you know the big words dont mean I know them yo.
[00:29] <swengin> Jordan_U: the original disk has 3 partitions so it should be an exact copy
[00:29] <k1l> Athena: its a terminal command. it will bring you output. i need to see the output to get to know what to do next.
[00:29] <Athena> k1l: okay.
[00:30] <svm_invictvs> PPA to be removed: upubuntu-com virtual
[00:30] <svm_invictvs> Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: upubuntu-com virtual
[00:30] <Jordan_U> swengin: OK. "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" and look for the UUID that was complained about in the error message. (If it has scrolled off the screen, run "cat /proc/cmdline" which will also list it).
[00:30] <mhzupyours> Maple...well you can read the line you posted...notice -DICON64 for example...why mention 64 bit crap when most people can't even get 32 bits to work
[00:30] <svm_invictvs> I odn't recall adding launchpad.net
[00:30] <swengin> Jordan_U: ok
[00:31] <Maple> 32 bits to work for what? qjoypad?
[00:31] <mhzupyours> Maple...wine...because windows 98 still costs a fortune so most people want to roll their own.
[00:31] <Athena> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15136925/
[00:32] <Maple> So if I get wine it will work for me and I can get the special files?
[00:32] <mintyfresh> mhzupyours: what rubbish you talking? whatz -DICON64 got to do with 64 bit?????
[00:32] <mhzupyours> Maple...no it does not give you the special files...
[00:33] <mhzupyours> Maple...there seem to be some differences about sockets and types
[00:33] <Jordan_U> swengin: How did you "clone" the disk?
[00:33] <squinty> svm_invictvs,  you should also be able to delete that ppa via   Software and Updates
[00:33] <swengin> Jordan_U: dd
[00:33] <Maple> so what sockets do I need to fix then?
[00:33] <abetterfish> dd can clone disks right?
[00:33] <svm_invictvs> squinty Not when I don't have x111
[00:34] <k1l> Athena: what ubuntu is that exactly?
[00:34] <mhzupyours> mintyfresh...well it seems to me that they are defining a macro called ICON64...for purposes of a compilation
[00:34] <swengin> Jordan_U: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
[00:34] <Athena> 14.04
[00:34] <Athena> k1l: 14.04
[00:34] <svm_invictvs> I got that PPA removed, I guess I was specifying the ppa name wrong
[00:34] <mintyfresh> mhzupyours: yeah - a 64 pixel icon
[00:34] <k1l> svm_invictvs: launchpad.net is where the PPAs are hosted. so you added that PPA.
[00:35] <k1l> Athena: which desktop?
[00:35] <Athena> k1l: I don't understand the question.
[00:35] <mhzupyours> mintyfresh...no a macro to the preprocessor....stating a flag needs to be set that a 64 bit issue is to be considered
[00:35] <Athena> k1l: 64bit?
[00:35] <k1l> Athena: what desktop enviroment. unity, gnomeshell, kde, xfce, lxde,....
[00:35] <mhzupyours> mintyfresh..well why else would you attach the suffix64
[00:35] <Athena> k1l: I think Unity.
[00:35] <swengin> Jordan_U: the uuid it's complaining about is not listed
[00:36] <k1l> Athena: ok. so you got that program still open? the ubuntu software center?
[00:36] <mintyfresh> Maple: don't listen to mhzupyours - he'z trolling and on my /ignore
[00:36] <Athena> k1l:  Is there a way I can double-check with the terminal?
[00:36] <Athena> and yes, k1l .
[00:36] <mhzupyours> mintyfresh...no you are the troll that has yet to answer a question without snotty remarks.
[00:36] <Maple> Sometimes trolling can be super right hahaha
[00:36] <k1l> Athena: ok, please show the complete output of "ps ax" in that paste.ubuntu.com
[00:37] <mhzupyours> Maple..is there anyone that uses a compiler in ubuntu channel
[00:37] <Jordan_U> swengin: Are there symlinks to sdb1, sdb2, and sdb3? If not, which of those is missing a symlink?
[00:37] <mintyfresh> Maple: your trying to compile without a compiler. Grab build-essential
[00:37] <Athena> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15136989/ k1l
[00:38] <Jordan_U> swengin: Sorry, I meant to ask which of sda1,sda2, and sda5 are missing.
[00:38] <swengin> Jordan_U: I guess yes sdb was mounted when I was cloning
[00:38] <swengin> so I think that it should I delete the link under /mnt ot I have to reclone it
[00:38] <svm_invictvs> k1l Yeah, I eventually got it removed
[00:38] <svm_invictvs> k1l Something was wrong with my virtual box setup
[00:39] <svm_invictvs> :-/
[00:39] <Maple> i dont know what compiling is first.
[00:39] <swengin> Jordan_U: I don't know I think all are available
[00:39] <Athena> svm_invictvs: I can't even set up a virtual box for League of Legends or Smite yet. x.x
[00:39] <Maple> what is compiling?
[00:39] <k1l> Athena: "sudo kill 7504"
[00:39] <Jordan_U> swengin: Neither disk should have anything on it mounted when dding one drive to another, but I wouldn't expect a mistake there to lead to this type of problem.
[00:39] <svm_invictvs> Athena hm?
[00:39] <mintyfresh> Maple: your tryin to build a program without any tools. Never gonna work
[00:40] <svm_invictvs> Athena I use this it for server
[00:40] <svm_invictvs> *servers
[00:40] <swengin> Jordan_U: hmm so?
[00:40] <svm_invictvs> Running bitbucket and jira
[00:40] <Maple> Im trying to install a program
[00:40] <Athena> k1l: Okay.. The app is closed but VLC still looks like it's trying to install.
[00:40] <k1l> Athena: where?
[00:40] <Athena> On my side-bar.
[00:40] <Jordan_U> swengin: What fileystem is used for your root FS?
[00:41] <swengin> Jordan_U: ext4
[00:41] <mintyfresh> Maple: nah - your tryin to *build* a program. That's why its askkin for g++
[00:41] <Athena> k1l:  on my side-bar.
[00:41] <genii> Maple: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qjoypad
[00:41]  * Athena needs to remember to use names a lot. xD
[00:41] <k1l> Athena: no in terminal: "sudo apt update" then "sudo apt install vlc"
[00:41] <rm_-r> i know this isnt the right board but you guys are the best. Where would i go for help with decrypting a message?
[00:41] <mhzupyours> well this is obviously the wrong channel to get anything done.
[00:41] <Jordan_U> swengin: mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ && cat /mnt/etc/fstab
[00:42] <Jordan_U> swengin: What UUID is used for your root fileystem in that fstab?
[00:43] <Mathisen> what version is the latest nvidia drivers ? im having 358.16 now

[00:45] <svm_invictvs> Following the advice of this article, what should I put in there for the package location?
[00:45] <svm_invictvs> I see he says, "vivid contrib" is that correct?
[00:46] <Athena> k1l: I'm 99% sure I have VLC now, but there's an icon on the left side that's still there that looks like as if it were installing.
[00:46] <k1l> Mathisen: 352 is the latest in the ubuntu repos.
[00:46] <mintyfresh> svm_invictvs: vivid is dead, bro
[00:46] <svm_invictvs> I thought so...
[00:46] <Mathisen> k1l, thx
[00:46] <svm_invictvs> Please aprdon my ignorance, but what does that bit mean?
[00:46] <svm_invictvs> THa'ts the release name right?
[00:46] <squinty> Athena,  right click on it and see what it says
[00:46] <k1l> svm_invictvs: better tell what your real issue is. then to work on not working stuff from the internet
[00:47] <Athena> squinty: unlock from taskbar.
[00:47] <k1l> Athena: did my commands work? in terminal?
[00:47] <swengin> Jordan_U: sorry the sda2 and sda5 are missing
[00:47] <svm_invictvs> k1l Trying to get virtualbox 5 installed
[00:47] <Athena> k1l: I'm 99% sure.
[00:47] <Athena> k1l: it downloaded SOMETHING. xD
[00:47] <squinty> Athena,  probably just the icon is locked then.. you can unlock it to be rid of it
[00:47] <Athena> squinty: is it using any of my resources, though?
[00:48] <swengin> Jordan_U: when I ran l1-l /dev/disk/by-uuid didn't notice that the two are missing
[00:48] <k1l> svm_invictvs: make sure "linux-generic" ist installed. then on what ubuntu are you exactly?
[00:48] <Athena> k1l: yes it did work. Just tested VLC and it's downloaded and installed.
[00:48] <swengin> Jordan_U: Ops sda2 is missing sda5 is there
[00:48] <svm_invictvs> k1l 14.04.4 LTS?
[00:48] <svm_invictvs> k1l WHy not linux-generic?
[00:48] <Athena> k1l: Thanks for your help!
[00:48] <k1l> svm_invictvs: uname -a?
[00:49] <svm_invictvs> Linux vb0 3.13.0-77-generic #121-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 20 10:50:42 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[00:49] <svm_invictvs> uh
[00:49] <svm_invictvs> hm
[00:49] <k1l> Athena: ok. then just dont care about the hung up symbol. that should be gone after reboot
[00:49] <Athena> k1l: Okay, I'll reboot and check.
[00:49] <k1l> svm_invictvs: ok. so make sure "linux-generic" is installed.
[00:49] <Jordan_U> swengin: OK, try "mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/ && cat /mnt/etc/fstab".
[00:49] <k1l> svm_invictvs: then get the .deb package from virtualbox website
[00:50] <svm_invictvs> k1l Why not install it through apt?
[00:50] <swengin> Jordan_U: btw mounting sda2 failed of course
[00:50] <svm_invictvs> http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/
[00:50] <svm_invictvs> They've got them all there.
[00:50] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[00:50] <Jordan_U> swengin: I figured as much :)
[00:50] <k1l> svm_invictvs: well, then use that repo, if you want
[00:50] <Jordan_U> swengin: It's probably your swap partition.
[00:51] <genii> Mathisen: As I explained elsewhere, if you want the latest drivers available for Ubuntu, the xorg-edgers PPA has them. Version 361.28 can be had from https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[00:51] <Umeaboy> As there are only two people in #ubuntu-dev I have to ask here.
[00:51] <svm_invictvs> 14.04.4 is "trusty" right?
[00:51] <genii> svm_invictvs: Yep
[00:51] <swengin> Jordan_U: yup
[00:51] <Umeaboy> The bug 1547518 has affected me, but it doesn't exist on launchpad.
[00:52] <k1l> svm_invictvs: yes
[00:52] <svm_invictvs> Yerah, the PPA was causing issues
[00:52] <Umeaboy> See?
[00:52] <svm_invictvs> Some outdated/obsolete PPA
[00:52] <svm_invictvs> But that's gone now.
[00:52] <k1l> Umeaboy: how you know you are affected? :)
[00:52] <daisy407> Hello everyone.
[00:52] <k1l> Umeaboy: maybe that bug contains private data and is hidden
[00:52] <Athena_> And it works, thanks k1l  and squinty
[00:53] <Umeaboy> k1l: I'm using a Live iso of Xenial.
[00:53] <Umeaboy> Even the nouveau issue is seen.
[00:53] <Umeaboy> That you have to blacklist nouveau from kernel boot line.
[00:53] <Athena_> Now for a new question: I used a external Hard Drive to install Ubuntu to my computer, how do I revert it back to a FATex or another format?
[00:54] <Jordan_U> Athena: Use GParted.
[00:54] <k1l> Athena: just load "gparted" when its connected and reformat that drive
[00:54] <swengin> Jordan_U: mounting sda5 failed as well
[00:54] <Jordan_U> swengin: What error message did it give?
[00:55] <Athena> Jordan_U: k1l: is that a program?
[00:55] <Jordan_U> swengin: (The last few lines of "dmesg" might give a more detailed message as well)
[00:55] <swengin> mounting /dev/sda5 on /mnt failed no such file or directory
[00:55] <k1l> Athena: yes
[00:55] <Athena> k1l: do I need to download it because it says I don't have an app with that name.
[00:56] <k1l> Athena: "sudo apt install gparted"
[00:56] <Jordan_U> swengin: OK, that's easy to fix :) "mkdir /mnt/".
[00:56] <k1l> Athena: but that should already be installed by default, iirc
[00:56] <swengin> Jordan_U: ok but shouldn't mnt be there already
[00:57] <mintyfresh> k1l: nope. Only on live cd
[00:57] <Athena> k1l: now I can't open terminal by searching it with the super key.
[00:57] <k1l> Athena: alt+ctrl+t
[00:58] <Athena> I can't seem to look at programs at all with the super key.
[00:58] <Athena> I can't seem to look at programs at all with the super key. k1l
[00:58] <swengin> Jordan_U: not a directory
[01:00] <squinty> Athena,  try clicking on the topmost icon on the left hand panel (side bar as you call it)
[01:00] <Jordan_U> swengin: It shouldn't neccessarily be within the initramfs root, no.
[01:00] <Athena> squinty: I am.
[01:01] <swengin> Jordan_U: ok after that it said not a directory
[01:01] <Jordan_U> swengin: mkdir gave that error?
[01:01] <swengin> Jordan_U: mounting
[01:01] <squinty> Athena,  oh ok... was just offering an alternative to the super L (windows key)
[01:02] <Athena> squinty: oh xD. No the problem is that I can't look at my applications with that thing now.
[01:02] <Jordan_U> swengin: What is the exact mount command you ran and what was its exact output?
[01:02] <k1l> Athena: try logout of the desktop. then relogin
[01:02] <Athena> k1l: ok
[01:03] <squinty> Athena,  just type the name of the program you are searching for or clcik on the "A" located on the bottom of the Dash
[01:03] <swengin> Jordan_U: sorry it failed and it says invalid argument
[01:03] <swengin> Jordan_U: mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
[01:04] <tincan> heya yall
[01:04] <Athena> Alright, what was the program name again?
[01:04] <Athena> Hello, tincan
[01:04] <k1l> Athena: gparted
[01:06] <Athena> k1l: I see a bunch of options to edit it, but they're greyed out.
[01:07] <k1l> Athena: right click on it and use unmount it. then you can resize or format
[01:08] <tincan> as for the ongoing issue i was having with memory, i found that it isn't compiz. I was reading the virt, not the res. after a more research i found some links that talked about "dirty memory" where i found this line of code "sudo sync; echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" and it worked! now i just need to find out what that code is doing... i know, im a bad linux user for running code i dont understand :P
[01:09] <squinty> bailiff smack his bottie!!  ;-)
[01:09] <Athena> Thanks k1l . New question: I tried installing League of Legends today and I got a bugsplat issue while downloading updates. How do I correct this?
[01:10] <Spec> tincan: it is setting drop_caches to 3, which clears slab objects and pagecache
[01:10] <Spec> you could also just drop page caches by doing 1 into that file
[01:10] <k1l> Athena: for wine issues best ask the wine guys in #winehq
[01:10] <Athena> k1l: What's wine? I'm using PlayonLinux.
[01:11] <zxcASD123> hi people
[01:11] <k1l> Athena: that is using wine.
[01:11] <Athena> k1l: Oh okay. xP Thanks again!
[01:11] <k1l> Athena: then ask the playonlinux guys.
[01:11] <tincan> Spec: i want a bit more indepth knowledge on it, and it's been so long since i've messed with ubuntu that i cant remember what alot of the basics do like pipe and tee
[01:11] <bosso> bonjour
[01:12] <tincan> Spec: but google knows all
[01:13] <Athena> New question: if I want to develop programs or plugins for say.. Minecraft, or just make games in general, is it the same way as downloading it on Windows or is there some speical way?
[01:14] <Athena> I normally use Oracle.*
[01:14] <k1l> Athena: that depends on the exact game
[01:15] <Athena> k1l: so basically just google it?
[01:15] <k1l> Athena: in general you dont load stuff from websites on ubuntu.
[01:16] <k1l> Athena: you first use what ubuntu ships and made already working with ubuntu. but that doesnt inlcude all software on the world. so on specific softwrae that might only be possible to get from the software developers.
[01:16] <anand_ts> Hello all, I have 2 interface for ubuntu server. For eth0 I gave private IP and eth1 I gave public IP. I need to ping both the gateways from the server but as of now I can ping only public IP network
[01:17] <swengin> Jordan_U: EXT4-fs (sda1): bad geometry: block count 244190208 exceeds size of device (113761024 blocks)
[01:17] <swengin> Jordan_U: sudo  dmesg | tail
[01:17] <swengin> Jordan_U: I'm on live cd now
[01:18] <Athena> How do I check if I have JRE installed? I think I installed it in the past but I don't want to accidentally re-install it.
[01:18] <anand_ts> please find my ifconfig http://paste.openstack.org/show/487647/
[01:18] <swengin> Jordan_U: I'm trying to mount /dev/sda1 but it's not allowing me to says wrong fs type
[01:19] <squinty> Athena,  in terminal   java -version
[01:19] <swengin> Jordan_U: if I run sudo lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL I see FSTYPE is ext4 what could be the problem
[01:21] <Athena> So this is me just guessing.. if I did sudo apt-get Eclipse would that install the application eclipse?
[01:22] <HamRadio> Athena, sudo apt eclipse would install Eclipse
[01:22] <HamRadio> no apt-get
[01:22] <HamRadio> just apt
[01:22] <Athena> HamRadio: thanks.
[01:22] <tincan> Athena: i cant really answer the first question, but i've messed with flash and unity3d in the past and both are very well supported with general purpose libraries that handle stuff like physics and gpu acceleration (for flash 2dbox and starling). also remember that flash isn't just in web browsers, with adobe air it can also produce mobile apps (angry birds was flash and the devs made starling) and on windows games (binding of isaa
[01:22] <tincan> c 1 was made in flash i believe)
[01:22] <squinty> Athena,  you can issue a command like that and if the package is not available in the repo, then apt-get will tell you
[01:22] <HamRadio> Why are people still using apt-get?
[01:22] <HamRadio> Why not use just "apt"
[01:22] <squinty> HamRadio,  apt-get is valid too
[01:23] <Mathisen> did not even know just apt worked
[01:23] <HamRadio> squinty, yeah it works, but just "apt" is better
[01:23] <Athena> e: Invalid Operation eclipse
[01:23] <genii> Athena: That's the usual, yes. Although you might want to to do first something like: apt-cache search something | more   ...to see what packages have names that fit the search. Also before issuing apt install something or apt-get install something, pull the latest list of packages
[01:23] <HamRadio> faster, and it gives like  progress
[01:23] <squinty> HamRadio,  define better from my perspective
[01:24] <Athena> I just got it from the software center. xD
[01:25] <IR9343> Athena
[01:25] <Athena> Yes, IR9343?
[01:25] <genii> Athena: The command-line way of using apt commands is useful to know, because not all *buntu flaours use the same graphical package manager
[01:25] <IR9343> I have a large dick <3
[01:25] <IR9343> Athena <3
[01:26]  * genii sips his coffee
[01:26] <squinty> geez  got be one in every crowd
[01:26] <Athena> genii: where can I find a list of commands?
[01:27] <genii> !cli
[01:27] <squinty> apt-get --help
[01:27]  * genii smacks the bot
[01:27] <k1l> !shell
[01:27] <squinty> same for apt, aptitude etc or read man pages
[01:28] <genii> k1l: That was it, thanks :)
[01:28] <Athena> k1l: thanks
[01:28] <squinty> he's a not a shell-fish kinda guy
[01:31] <Athena> squinty: get off the stage. *throws popcorn*
[01:31] <squinty> heh
[01:31] <Athena> How do I rename an external harddrive?
[01:32] <HamRadio> Here's a little reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/26q2sm/apt_vs_aptget/
[01:34] <Athena> Does the software center contain ALL of my installed files?
[01:34] <Athena> Why do I ask so many questions? FIND OUT NEXT SEASON!
[01:35] <genii> Athena: This page covers how to rename drives or partitions for a bunch of different filesystems and partition types: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive
[01:36] <squinty> Athena,  Dash ->  "A" icon at bottom -> installed -> see more results
[01:36] <Athena> Oh yeah one more thing: is skype good? I'm seeing bad reviews on the software center.
[01:36] <squinty> Athena,
[01:37] <Athena> squinty:  and genii thanks.
[01:37] <squinty> Sw
[01:37] <squinty> wooops!
[01:37] <k1l> everything that doesnt work on /with skype go to microsoft and tell them. they bought skype and its pprop. software ubuntu cant change anything there.
[01:38] <squinty> Athena,  the software center lists all available software obtainable via the ubuntu repo's.  not all the software listed has been installed on your machine.
[01:39] <squinty> Athena,  might also want to check out  Synaptic package manager. (available in the repo's)  similar to Software Center without the overhead
[01:41] <Athena> So I'm looking at the official skype download website and it says 'ubuntu 10.4 32-bit, ubuntu 12.04 (multiarch), and Dynamic' which one is probably the best one for me to pick?
[01:41] <Athena> squinty: I'll check that out.
[01:47] <Athena> So I'm looking at the official skype download website and it says 'ubuntu 10.4 32-bit, ubuntu 12.04 (multiarch), and Dynamic' which one is probably the best one for me to pick?
[01:47] <svm_invictvs> So...
[01:47] <svm_invictvs> My ubuntu box is telling me, "A start job is waiting..."
[01:47] <wang> hello
[01:47] <svm_invictvs> Network it seems
[01:47] <Athena> hey wang
[01:48] <wang> what can we do by ubuntu?
[01:49] <Athena> wang: short answer: a lot.
[01:50] <Ojin> Whatz up
[01:50] <Athena> Hey Ojin
[01:50] <Athena> Do you have Skype? If so what version should I download?
[01:52] <Ojin> Skype <IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386
[01:52] <Athena> Ojin: I don't have that option. It only says Ubunto version 10.04 32bit, Ubunto version 12.04, and dynamic.
[01:53] <Ojin> wait....
[01:53] <Athena> And there's fedora and stuff, but that's not what I'm using.
[01:54] <Athena> Ojin: I'm downloading directly from the site and those are the options it's giving me.
[01:54] <Ojin> download 12.04
[01:55] <Athena> thanks Ojin
[01:55] <Ojin> no probs
[01:55] <Athena> Now.. I'm pretty sure double-clicking it won't automatically install it..
[01:56] <Kingchocomelch> Does anyone else have the problem of sda5_crypt not remembering your password
[01:56] <Kingchocomelch> its scary
[01:56] <anand_ts> does anyone help me in fixing an issue with ubuntu network configuration?
[01:56] <squinty> Athena,  easiest to see if all dependancies are satisfied is to use   gdebi  to install.
[01:57] <Athena> squinty: what are the dependancies?
[01:57] <anand_ts> I cannot ping private IP gateway. or any ip in that network
[01:57] <wang> Why to use another communication software
[01:57] <Abe_> Hi a friend has a problem: he has a Grub rescue problem after deleting the Ubuntu partition!
[01:57] <Athena> wang: because my friends use Skype.
[01:57] <wang> oh
[01:57] <squinty> Athena, the other packages that a particular program is dependant upon existing in order to correctly run/use it
[01:59] <Athena> squinty: I'm asking what the dependant programs are.
[01:59] <Abe_> he needs the windows bootloader and has to get back into his windows partition
[01:59] <squinty> Abe:  dual install with windows?   google for windows fix mbr
[01:59] <Abe_> or at least grub to get back to his windows partition
[02:00] <squinty> Athena,  no idea as I don't use Skype.... but gdebi will tell you if those dependancies aren't available
[02:00] <Abe_> well he doesn't get into his windows anymore it just shows a Grub rescue problem
[02:00] <ninjaaron> my friend is installing ubuntu on an Acer C720 (chromebook) with 2GB RAM, and he's considering a 32bit kernel to save ram. Is that a good idea, or are there potential problems?
[02:00] <squinty> Abe_,  exactly so do what I suggested or seek help in a Windows related irc channel
[02:00] <Athena> squinty: OH so it will work so long as the things required to run Skype are installed?
[02:01] <Abe_> after deleting his ubuntu partition. we fixed the mbr and it showed the windows bootloader
[02:01] <squinty> Athena,  yes
[02:01] <Athena> squinty: I thought you were saying that there were dependincies for GDebi.
[02:01] <develoooooop> guys anybody has tinder app ?
[02:01] <Athena> develoooooop: everyone has a tinder app at one point in their life.
[02:02]  * squinty hasn't
[02:02]  * Athena thinks squinty is a liar.
[02:02] <develoooooop> Athena: Sorry I mean how can I install on ubuntu?
[02:02]  * squinty hasn't facebook or anything else
[02:02] <develoooooop> Desktop
[02:02] <Athena> There's a desktop app? o3o
[02:02] <SahibPrime> does fsck run automatically at startup?
[02:02] <develoooooop> I found genymotion android emulator but
[02:03] <Abe_> squinty: He can't use the command line cuz he's stuck in a grub rescue which has to do with Ubuntu !
[02:03] <develoooooop> it hasn't google play in it
[02:03] <Athena> develoooooop: try another emulator, then.
[02:03] <squinty> SahibPrime,  after so many boots (5 ???) it will automatically check
[02:03] <SahibPrime> ok, thanks
[02:03] <SahibPrime> i'm afraid of manually fsck'ing because i've heard about what happens with mounted filesystems
[02:05] <Athena> Hey so I installed skype and it didn't create a shortcut.. Where did it put it? x.x
[02:06] <squinty> SahibPrime,   sudo touch /forcefsck    will force a fsck on the next reboot/boot
[02:07] <vom513> Athena: you should be able to search in the dash in the upper corner, just type skype...
[02:07] <squinty> Athena,  you may have to make one
[02:07] <Athena> Oh there we go. forgot that was the thing with Linux. xD thanks vom513 and squinty.
[02:07] <wang> squinty,make one?
[02:09] <squinty> SahibPrime,   using that command insures that the user isn't fsck'ing on a mounted drive
[02:09] <squinty> wang,  sure
[02:18] <Abe_> k kinda got it fixed we reinstalled the grub bootloader from live cd
[02:31] <nitish> How can I change my nickname?
[02:32] <skweek> you just start writing your new nickname on your name tags
[02:33] <nitish> Is there any official announcement for the release date of ubuntu 16.04 lts?
[02:33] <newnick> lol
[02:34] <squinty> nitish,  if you mean in irc then type   /nick newnicknamehere
[02:35] <nitish> squinty thanks
[02:35] <nitish> how can I update mozila firefox in ubuntu 14.04 lts?
[02:35] <Ben64> nitish: 16.04 is scheduled to be released April 21st, 2016
[02:35] <diatigo> nitish: use chrome
[02:36] <Ben64> same way you upgrade everything. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:36] <nitish> diatigo I've chromium
[02:36] <skweek> but if you ment on your nametags at work, you just start writing it on them with a piece of white box tape covering your old nickname
[02:36] <diatigo> nitish: firefox is a giant pig
[02:36] <squinty> nitish,  via the ubuntu repo's or you can install via the mozilla website (not recommended for linux newbies)
[02:37] <nitish> squinty I am not linux newbies
[02:37] <nitish> using it for more than 3 years
[02:37] <Ben64> theres no reason to not use the repository
[02:37] <squinty> nitesh`,  well i don't know that now do I?  just saying....  :P
[02:37] <diatigo> nitish: ppa nightly or
[02:38] <Ben64> firefox gets updated in the ubuntu repositories automatically
[02:38] <skweek> I like giant pigs a lot more than small pigs, there's a lot more to work with when making porkgrinds
[02:38] <nitish> firefox installed in my ubuntu 14.04 lts is 35.0.1
[02:38] <squinty> exactly... if you want nightlies then you are on your own....otherwise use the repo's
[02:38] <nitish> what is the latest version of firefox?
[02:39] <xangua> 44 something, if you mean stable
[02:39] <squinty> google
[02:39] <Ben64> nitish: please pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy firefox"
[02:39] <nitish> exit
[02:40] <Ben64> or not
[02:40] <Athena> If I were to want to go to a directory with the terminal, I would do 'cd /desktop/Fresh Server' correct?
[02:40] <Ben64> unlikely you have a directory /desktop
[02:40] <diatigo> nitesh`: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/mozilla_team_firefox_next?dist=trusty
[02:41] <Ben64> but yes, "cd <directory> will go to the directory specified
[02:41] <Athena> How do I get to the desktop directory, then?
[02:41] <PestBuda> Athena: yes Essentially that is the correct syntax
[02:41] <Ben64> Athena: it's usually at ~/Desktop
[02:41] <squinty> cd "/desktop/Fresh Server" or cd /desktop/Fresh \ Server
[02:41] <Athena> oh thanks Ben64 and squinty
[02:42] <squinty> Athena,  and Ben64  was more correct....forgot the captial "D"
[02:43] <Athena> bash: cd: ~/Desktop/Fresh Server: No such file or directory
[02:43] <fobo7> how to in lubuntu add program to autostart
[02:43] <fobo7> ?
[02:43] <squinty> Athena,  quotes or delimiter as per previous example
[02:43] <diatigo> Yeah
[02:43] <Ben64> Athena: what exactly did you type
[02:44] <Athena> cd "~/Desktop/Fresh Server"
[02:44] <Ben64> yeah don't put quotes around ~ or it interprets it as ~ instead of your home
[02:44] <Ben64> you should learn to use <TAB>
[02:44] <squinty> may have to use /home/user
[02:44] <Ben64> cd ~/Des<TAB>Fres<TAB>
[02:44] <Ben64> should get you there
[02:45] <Athena> It's fresh\ server
[02:45] <Athena> not fresh \ server
[02:45] <Athena> Thanks, though.
[02:45] <Athena> Ben64:
[02:45] <Athena> fobo has an interesting question
[02:46] <squinty> oops mea culpa   added extra space  :P
[02:47] <Athena> So it's asking me to run java -jar BuildTools.jar in a bash, would that be the terminal?
[02:47] <Athena> "On Linux run git config --global --unset core.autocrlf, then run java -jar BuildTools.jar in bash or another appropriate shell."
[02:47] <squinty> yep
[02:47] <Athena> thanks squinty
[02:48] <bluRAID> Hi all! I need a L2TP cleint for 15.10, searching on this topic it would appear the L2TP is not availbe for 15.10? Is this true?
[02:48] <crrrrrrow> ciao
[02:49] <squinty> bluRAID,  http://packages.ubuntu.com/   do a search for your installed version
[02:49] <Athena> So off-topic: are IRC servers free?
[02:50] <squinty> Athena,  more than likely not for the rascals running them.... for us peasants no cost to access them
[02:50] <Athena> Hooray for peasants!
[02:51] <squinty> heh!
[02:52] <Athena> You know.. I hear that Linux is better for programming but why? What makes linux a cut above the rest for programming?
[02:52]  * squinty wanders off to check his defrosting prawns
[02:52]  * Athena thinks squinty is just avoiding the question.
[02:53] <BradTN> hey
[02:53] <Athena> hey BradTN
[02:54] <BradTN> can someone please assist me...:(
[02:54] <Athena> Depends on what the assistance is needed upon.
[02:54] <BradTN> so power went out, ubuntu server went off fine whateverr right
[02:54] <BradTN> i turn it back on and it boots only to black screen for whatever reason
[02:54]  * Athena backs off slowly. She is only gone so deep into Ubuntu.
[02:55] <Athena> I suggest waiting for squinty to get back.
[02:55] <BradTN> so i google this issue and find abunch of similar problems but all ery old posts....lol like 2009 , 2011 etc
[02:55] <BradTN> i cant even run apt-getupdate/upgrade
[02:55] <BradTN> tells me it cant resolve hosts
[02:55] <BradTN> but my ethernet appears to be running
[02:55] <BradTN> and i can ping router
[02:55] <Athena> Can you ping google?
[02:55] <BradTN> pulling my hair out
[02:56] <ubuntu-mate> Hi!
[02:56] <Athena> Hello ubuntu-mate
[02:56] <ubuntu-mate> This Is Awesome!
[02:57] <Athena> Ubuntu?
[02:57] <ubuntu-mate> yeah?
[02:57] <Athena> No I mean are you talking about Ubuntu?
[02:57] <Athena> Or the chat?
[02:57] <ubuntu-mate> both actually.
[02:57] <BradTN> whos squinty
[02:57] <BradTN> lol
[02:57] <jushur> BradTN: sounds like your network config got botched.
[02:58] <Athena> BradTN: (s)he's been helping me out all day.
[02:58] <BradTN> i dont get how power going out results in my normal ubuntu booting to black screen
[02:58] <BradTN> and i cant get up
[02:58] <BradTN> :'(
[02:58] <ubuntu-mate> you can recover your stuff with slax.
[02:58] <Loshki> "boots only to black screen" & "ethernet appears to be running" seem contradictory
[02:58] <BradTN> sorry
[02:58] <BradTN> in recovery i meant
[02:59] <BradTN> in terms of ethernet
[02:59] <c|oneman> so I rebooted my computer /apt- update and now it logs in without me entering my password
[02:59] <ubuntu-mate> Im Installing ubuntu-mate right now.
[02:59] <BradTN> i get to that screen upon reboot to pick ubuntu to boot to and if i pick it i get black screen
[03:00] <Athena> Woah wait a second, Ubuntu is available for phones??
[03:00] <BradTN> and im trying to fix but cant figure out whats wrong
[03:00] <xangua> Athena: and tablets
[03:00] <Athena> Do I need to do something funky with my phone so that my SIM can still be read?
[03:01] <ubuntu-mate> but they need to be rooted i think....
[03:02] <Athena> Wow I was almost done downloading this spigot server and then an update happened so it's redownloading everything. x.x
[03:02] <ubuntu-mate> Anybody Here?
[03:02] <ubuntu-mate> MINECRAFT!
[03:02] <Athena> ubuntu-mate: there seem to be a few people here.
[03:02] <Athena> Yeah I'm developing plugins.
[03:02] <ubuntu-mate> Nice....
[03:03] <Loshki> BradTN: I would follow the general procedure for reinstalling a damaged boot
[03:03] <ubuntu-mate> I wish i had a mac....
[03:04] <bluRAID> i need an l2tp cleint to connect to workplace, it would seem that a working solution was depricated in 14.10, does anyone have any insight on a soltion for l2tp in wily?
[03:04] <texla> I want to change the default setting in my grub display...When I try to open /etc/default/grub...I get file not found
[03:05] <ubuntu-mate> not really, as im like 10 yrs old XD
[03:05] <jushur> is going to be so nice when one has ZFS a / filesystem, recovering from things like poweroutage is going to be a breeze.
[03:05] <BradTN> loshki
[03:05] <BradTN> any recommended guide
[03:05] <nitish> How can I change my ip?
[03:05] <BradTN> dont wanna ruin my setup

[03:11] <bluRAID> i need an l2tp cleint to connect to workplace, it would seem that a working solution was depricated in 14.10, does anyone have any insight on a soltion for l2tp in wily?
[03:12] <ubuntu-mate> Im not even An ubuntu support person i just used this name.
[03:12] <cfhowlett> !14.10 | bluRAID 14.10 is dead.  install a supported version.
[03:14] <thales_> ok, my laptop produces noise in left speaker
[03:15] <Athena> Has it been doing that before you installed Ubuntu, thales_ ?
[03:16] <thales_> ubuntu mate
[03:16] <ubuntu-mate> yes?
[03:17] <Athena> Take these steps to make sure it's not the hardware. 1) Try other speakers/Headphones. Be sure to use the same port.

[03:18] <Rochvellon> When I'm starting Dropbox there will be shown a Image-Not-Found-Icon in the tray. Whether reinstalling nor deleting the profile nor deactivating composing would help and strace would me not give a call for pngs or icons. Any ideas what this could be?

[03:19] <cfhowlett> !ops | ubuntu-mate channel flooding, general trolling.
[03:20] <Athena> thales_: I don't know much about Linux, but are the drives up-to-date? Is that a thing with Linux? Someone more knowledgable than me take this over!
[03:22] <tyberious> i am having problems getting the 4.2.0-27 to boot on grub
[03:22] <thales_> yes upgraded
[03:23] <Athena> thales_: try rebooting...? I don't know much, as I said before. I'm here to just pick up new tips on Linux.
[03:24] <thales_> yea
[03:24] <bluRAID> Anyone know if there are any working l2tp clients/setup for 15.10?
[03:25] <ZorinOS> uh hm
[03:25] <ZorinOS> wrong channel, ##ubuntu must be closed

[03:26] <Bomber4Chats> It's really frustrating how dangerous it is to disconnect your hdmi connector from your laptop with Ubuntu....
[03:27] <Athena> thanks cfhowlett
[03:27] <jman1> Need some advise. so i think i have got malware or something on my ubuntu operating system. everytime i try to search something in a search engine all the results turn into adds. and the pop ups are driving me craaazy
[03:27] <cfhowlett> jman1, details ...
[03:27] <Bomber4Chats> Why can't I disconnect the cable and close the lid of my laptop at the same time? Why can't Ubuntu detect that my hdmi connector is no longer connected and fix all the resolution problem automatically?
[03:28] <Bomber4Chats> Because right now I have to deal with my main screen being completely black after login
[03:28] <Bomber4Chats> And I've tried xrandr but it keeps throwing crtc 0 failed issues
[03:28] <Bomber4Chats> Not that I know what that means
[03:29] <jman1> well everytime i search in google or bing my results come up then seconds later my results turn in to links to other crap that pertains noting to my search
[03:29] <cfhowlett> jman1, less rant.  more facts.
[03:29] <cfhowlett> !details
[03:29] <de-facto> can i somehow turn *all* the eye candy blend in effects and other stupid things *off* in unity?
[03:30] <de-facto> i dont want transparency, i dont want blend in, i dont want blend out, i dont want it to waste ressources etc
[03:31] <xangua> de-facto: you can disable some effects but you can't disable unity
[03:31] <xangua> Compiz I mean
[03:32] <de-facto> i dont want it its annoyingly slow, how do i disable all effects?
[03:32] <cfhowlett> de-facto, I'm on ubuntustudio, so I have XFCE4 as my desktop environment.  simple, plain & functional.  you can install and see for yourself.  sudo apt install xfce4 lxde                  will get the xubuntu and lubuntu DE.  logout, choose alternate DE, login
[03:32] <xangua> Install another desktop
[03:32] <jman1> any recommendations for malware and virus protection for ubuntu?
[03:33] <de-facto> hmm im on a live system right now and i dont want to reinstall the whole gui de... can i not just simply disable it somewhere? i dont care if it looks ugly i want it fast
[03:33] <xangua> ! Virus | jman1 don't install software out of repository and don't abuse sudo
[03:33] <cfhowlett> jman1, unlikely that you actually have malware.  better to assess what is actually going wrong.
[03:34] <cfhowlett> jman1, popups do NOT mean system malware, but they can point to browser problems
[03:34] <de-facto> xangua where can i disable the effects?
[03:34] <jman1> not talkin about just popups
[03:35] <cfhowlett> jman1, asked you earlier for details.  you  didn't supply them.  I'm not going to GUESS what you might be having problems with ...
[03:35] <jman1> you told me less ranting
[03:35] <cfhowlett> !details
[03:36] <xangua> de-facto: instead of disabling some effects everytime you boot your live ISO, download Xubuntu
[03:36] <jman1> i don't know how to explain it except its acting like i got malware
[03:37] <cfhowlett> jman1, no idea what that means. send pictures
[03:37] <jman1> i search and adds take over my browser
[03:37] <de-facto> xangua do you know where i can disable most of the effects?
[03:37] <cfhowlett> jman1, easy test: in firefox open a private window
[03:38] <cfhowlett> plugins disabled and no pop-ups will happen unless YOU authorize them.
[03:38] <jman1> k
[03:39] <cfhowlett> jman1, of course, if you are going to funky sites that populate your browser with ads, you should stop doing that.
[03:40] <de-facto> oh my unity is compiz? srly? disabling the unity plug in ccsm breaks it great
[03:40] <jman1> so the private window seems to be functioning properly opposed to a regular session
[03:41] <jman1> and no funky sights just online school and searching for doctrine and pubs
[03:42] <cfhowlett> jman1, you have a firefox plugin with pop-up permissions.  start there.
[03:42] <jman1> but the private window everything is functioning the way i like it. now thats just a quick fix so what do i need to do so that it functions this way all the time
[03:42] <jman1> k
[03:42] <jushur> jman1: use firefox and install ublock origin addon, or Privacy Badger addon from EFF.
[03:43] <cfhowlett> jman1, or *always* run ffox in private
[03:43] <de-facto> what a bad experience unity is, glad i stayed away from it for so long time
[03:43] <jushur> de-facto: well its not for all ppl, you are free to chose something else.
[03:44] <de-facto> not really this is a custom backed live cd for testing out some software. they use ubuntu defaults, hence unity
[03:44] <jman1> so now that thats functioning properly are my files vulnerable to hackers
[03:44] <cfhowlett> jman1, enable firewall?
[03:45] <cfhowlett> also, do you have ONLY your system admin account?  you should install a low privilege account for daily use.
[03:46] <de-facto> the dash takes 3 seconds to blend in until it slowly becomes usable let alone typing in it... bad deal for eye candy imho
[03:46] <jman1> thanks much!!!
[03:46] <cfhowlett> de-facto, you have been several alternatives.  choose one.
[03:46] <cfhowlett> happy2help! jman1
[03:47] <de-facto> aint there some setting to tell unity to let alone all the eye candy and just provide a basic usable interface?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> de-facto, short answer: yes, there are reasons.
[03:48] <de-facto> i dont want to repack the whole livecd just to get a usable ui for testing
[03:48] <jman1> its weird cuz some how my firewall on my network keeps getting turned off
[03:48] <de-facto> so the eye candy is hardcoded then?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> jman1, set your UBUNTU firewall.
[03:48] <jman1> i will
[03:48] <cfhowlett> !ufw
[03:49] <plytro> de-facto: you could apt-get install a different wm and login to that after booting the custom cd
[03:49] <plytro> xfce4, etc
[03:50] <plytro> I don't have a problem using unity, I just prefer not to
[03:50] <plytro> I let my kids use it
[03:51] <cfhowlett> or you could use xubuntu, lubuntu, ubuntu-mate, ubuntu-server, kubuntu
[03:51] <plytro> he'd have to re-bake the custom livecd then though
[03:51] <jman1> its on
[03:52] <cfhowlett> jman1, and will stay on unless YOU disable it.
[03:52] <jman1> just wondering how i let it get this bad
[03:54] <de-facto> yeah i could but its a bad experience to see the default failing that badly in a vm, id prefer to rather have a usable ui as default and *if* i really think its necessary enable eye candy.
[03:55] <cfhowlett> de-facto, OK, then, we get it.  you don't like it.  you've been given a solution.  let's move?
[03:56] <plytro> you keep hammering a point that no one here can solve
[03:56] <de-facto> ok thanks
[03:56] <cfhowlett> jman1, easy to do, easy to fix.  review all of your browser settings carefully for security, and consider 2 addons: https-everywhere and NoScript                the latter helps manage java issues.
[03:56] <cfhowlett> and adblock, of course.
[03:57] <plytro> and ghosterly
[03:58] <jman1> very much appreciated. i got tunnel vision now  that i can move forward with my work
[03:58] <jushur> ublock origin is a lot better then adblock, it also has blocking of fonts. wich right now may be a good idea (recent exploit unveiled)
[04:12] <sufrlin> hello all
[04:14] <sufrlin> hello, any body can help me ?
[04:15] <xangua> ! Ask
[04:16] <sufrlin> how to configure default papersize for halfpaper printing using lx300+ii printer
[04:16] <sufrlin> how to configure default papersize for halfpaper printing using lx300+ii printer ?
[04:16] <sufrlin> how to configure default papersize for "halfletter" paper size printing using lx300+ii printer ?
[04:17] <cfhowlett> !patienced | sufrlin
[04:17] <cfhowlett> asking 3 times in one minute is annoying.  be patient.
[04:17] <cfhowlett> !patience
[04:19] <plytro> each one was a grammatical correction
[04:19] <plytro> seems as though english isn't the first language and they want to be sure they get the quesiton right and precise
[04:20] <sufrlin> I've been a little desperate about this problem
[04:20] <cfhowlett> sufrlin, why?  takes seconds to choose a paper size ...
[04:21] <sufrlin> I want to migrate from windows to ubuntu, but I was stuck in this problem
[04:25] <sufrlin> I had erp software in windows and invoices printed using continuous paper
[04:26] <jushur> sufrlin: i belive your issue can be handled by the prinet it self? read its manual.
[04:26] <jushur> printer*
[04:27] <cfhowlett> sufrlin try configuring through cups.  point your browser to this site and configure from there:  http://localhost:631/
[04:27] <sufrlin> jushur: I use cups
[04:30] <sufrlin> cfhowlett : I have the software erp in windows and invoices printed using continuous paper, and I've managed to run in ubuntu, but can cause problems with the printer, I change the settings in / etc / cups / papersize to "halfletter", but the printer still considers the size of the paper is A4
[04:30] <sufrlin> cfhowlett : I use Cups
[04:30] <cfhowlett> sufrlin, understood.
[04:32] <sufrlin> cfhowlett : I was almost desperate with this problem
[04:32] <cfhowlett> sufrlin, if I had the answer, I would happily share it.  Direct your query to the entire channel, not just to me.  Someone else may know.
[04:34] <plytro> if you need a workaround solution, you could use windows in a VM to do it until you have it all figured out
[04:34] <Loshki> sufrlin: Does "find /etc/cups -type f | xargs egrep A4" turn up anything promising?
[04:35] <sufrlin> plytro : I want to leave windows forever
[04:35] <jak2000> when i do a: aptget update i get this error messages: http://pastie.org/10729807 any advice how to fix? thanks
[04:35] <jak2000> *apt-get
[04:36] <sufrlin> Loshki : I have not tried, may I ask for full instructions
[04:37] <shneh> I want to try this linux thing. So I installed ubuntu. I have a problem connecting to my workplace using Shrew Soft VPN client. I import the VPN profile, it connects successfully, but I have no access to the internet nor to my work machine. What should I do?
[04:38] <xangua> jak2000: try later or try a different mirror
[04:38] <Loshki> sufrlin: rather than pretend I know, I think I should refer you to ##cups
[04:39] <sufrlin> thanks Loshki
[04:39] <plytro> sufrlin: its a stop gap if you absolutly need it until you have a solution
[04:40] <sufrlin> plytro : yes
[04:40] <sufrlin> plytro : I have continuous paper for printing
[04:41] <sufrlin> plytro : with halfletter papersize
[04:42] <sufrlin> when i print the invoice, the pagesize was corectly, but the printer would not stop at the end of paper
[04:42] <sufrlin> plytro : when i print the invoice, the pagesize was corectly, but the printer would not stop at the end of paper

[04:52] <sufrlin> plytro : I think this bug of ubuntu
[04:54] <cfhowlett> sufrlin, ubuntu is not cups.  ubuntu USES cups.
[04:54] <sufrlin> xubuntu : Is there a solution for my problem?
[04:54] <cfhowlett> and cups is developed and managed outside of ubuntu
[04:54] <Guest4320> hello
[04:54] <plytro> cups is developed and managed by Apple, right?
[04:54] <jamis> Hey all, For some reason, NetworkManager isn't displaying Open Access points in it's list. Any hints as to why?
[04:56] <sufrlin> plytro : really?
[04:56] <cfhowlett> perhaps but cups is packaged and maintained by the debian printing team
[04:57] <sufrlin> plytro : if I do not use cups, does this work?

[05:19] <PR0r> hey guys, just wondering if someone could recommend the best way to get x11vnc server to auto start on start up. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 desktop, currently manually clicking it from the left desktop shortcut and starting it each reboot.
[05:20] <jushur> jak2000: looks like there is some issues with the country servers atm, had some issues with them on a few machines here. and had to use the main server to update.
[05:20] <jak2000> jushur and how to fix?
[05:21] <plytro> jak2000: I pasted a link for you
[05:21] <plytro> read the answers there
[05:21] <plytro> PR0r: have you looked at the apps to start at startup? I'm not sure where that is in unity
[05:22] <plytro> I'm on xubuntu and can set apps to run at startup
[05:22] <xangua> Type start up in the unity launcher :-P
[05:22] <plytro> PR0r: https://askubuntu.com/questions/48321/how-do-i-start-applications-automatically-on-login
[05:23] <PR0r> yea but within the x11vnc program I have options ticked, unticked etc. So I feel some kind of script that would run launch it from terminal?
[05:25] <plytro> like you open it and check some boxes then click start or something?
[05:25] <PR0r> yea
[05:26] <plytro> http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/x11vnc_opts.html
[05:26] <PR0r> I've never really launched it from terminal, guess ill look into that
[05:26] <plytro> I think you can pass them all in through the gui startup
[05:28] <PR0r> I wish I could find out what my settings that are chosen from within the gui are translated into from the terminal to launch
[05:28] <plytro> can you save a config file or something?
[05:29] <plytro> http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=5870
[05:37] <PR0r> is there much of a difference between having it run via /etc/init and systemd as a service?
[05:37] <PR0r> two guides suggest different ways of having it startup, so curious as to what would be best

[05:46] <nomoney4me> hi all, I am trying to install webmin through wget but it seems that link is dead.  Any change someone have a mirror for it? or maybe a way to search it in apt-get?
[05:47] <nomoney4me> not "install", "download" sorry.
[05:47] <noobpentester> which is the best desktop environment for ubuntu ?
[05:47] <PR0r> nomoney4me: GitHub?

[05:51] <cfhowlett> !webmin | nomoney4me
[05:51] <nomoney4me> thanks! :)
[05:53] <cfhowlett> nomoney4me, you can easily install all the DE's on a single ubuntu system for testing.  sudo apt install xfce4 lxde                will get those 2.  then logout, choose a DE, login.
[05:53] <nomoney4me> Well, I wanted webmin because it allowed for an easy config of certain modules.
[05:54] <cfhowlett> sorry, that last was for noobpentester

[06:37] <nascentmind> Hi. My machine seems to take a long time when it reboots. I checked my systemd jobs and I find it getting stuck in unmounting my swap. How can I fix this?
[06:38] <nascentmind> I tried reformatting the swap partition and still it fails.
[06:47] <AbbieHoffman> does anybody know how to modify ipv4 so it doesn't pass my client identity or screen resolution?
[06:52] <jushur> AbbieHoffman: what are you talking about?
[06:52] <guideX> lubuntu wifi or ethernet on a compaq v2000?
[06:52] <guideX> how do you get it going
[06:53] <AbbieHoffman> if I look up my ip address it will also display my os "ubuntu" or sometimes "linux" and my screen resolution, so I want to modify ubuntu so it dosen't pass that information along
[06:54] <sufrlin> I was so desperate to printer problems in ubuntu
[07:01] <Amm0n> AbbieHoffman, what do you mean by "look up my ip"?
[07:01] <mahesh> what is gimp in ubuntu?
[07:02] <AbbieHoffman> like adobe photoshop?
[07:02] <svm_invictvs> How long has the 4.x kernel been out?
[07:02] <svm_invictvs> oh wow, like...a week
[07:02] <svm_invictvs> I was gonna ask how far along I was behind running the 3.x kernel
[07:08] <AbbieHoffman> Amm0n: for instance "ipaddress.com"
[07:15] <_ohm> i have a linux distro built in a logical partition and can chroot and compile/download packages. I was hoping to modify my ubuntu bootloader to have the ability to boot into this distro, is this possible?
[07:16] <_ohm> currently I get a kernel panic, 'unable to mount rootfs on unknown-block(0,0)'
[07:16] <_ohm> i can boot into ubuntu fine, but not the other distro
[07:16] <AbbieHoffman> does you have a partitioning program?
[07:16] <_ohm> yeah
[07:16] <AbbieHoffman> so you have a swap drive partition built and everything?
[07:17] <_ohm> yeah, ubuntu works flawlessly, i'm trying to modify grub2 to be able to boot the other distro and i run into the kernel panic
[07:18] <_ohm> i've tried all of the sites where it says, update-grub2
[07:18] <_ohm> it detects it, puts it into the menu, but i get a kernel panic when i boot the distro
[07:18] <AbbieHoffman> ok
[07:19] <AbbieHoffman> do you have a boot repair utility on a thumb drive?
[07:19] <_ohm> no, i'm in ubuntu right now
[07:19] <_ohm> i can put in a live cd if you'd like
[07:20] <AbbieHoffman> you can use a boot repair utility that will scan your whole comp then set up grub so it will list which os you want to start up
[07:20] <_ohm> would i just boot into the livecd and run update-grub2 ?
[07:21] <AbbieHoffman> you can but if you installed both os's already you should just change grub so it will identify each os
[07:21] <_ohm> that's what i'm trying to do
[07:21] <cibk> Hi there all, I am having this issue where when I put my wireless card into monitor mode it adds a "mon" to the end of it (that's bit is normal of course) but when I take it out of monitor mode the "mon" stays and then the next time I put it back into monitor mode it adds another "mon" to the end that dosen't come off and so on and so on unitll it looks like this "monmonmonmon". It is really quite crazy no? A
[07:21] <cibk> nd if if gets too long ubuntu just says that the wireless nick name is too long for linux and says it will rename it back to the old way, which for me worked much better. So how does one ether take off the "mon"s and or rename the interface. I have been searching but have not come up with anything for a while now
[07:22] <_ohm> the new grub boots ubuntu fine, but when i boot the other distro i get a kernel panic
[07:22] <AbbieHoffman> try d/l'ing BOOT-REPAIR from soureforge then burn it into a stick and boot the stick up that program fixes all booting issues its great
[07:22] <cibk> Ooop too much :/
[07:22] <_ohm> AbbieHoffman, will do, thanks
[07:22] <AbbieHoffman> ok
[07:24] <jushur> cibk: what specik driver/module doees it use? and what model name/nr is it on the device?
[07:25] <vbotka> cibk, you can use udev rules http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15140923/
[07:26] <vbotka> cibk, run "udevadm control --reload-rules" after you fit the file to your needs
[07:27] <cibk> Oh, so that's where you do it ay?
[07:30] <cibk> Thanks vbotka I will look more into it when I can. All the best!
[07:30] <vbotka> cibk, you just need to change the MAC address
[07:32] <cibk> vbotka, you mean; in order to change the nic name you also need to change the nic's mac address?
[07:33] <vbotka> cibk,  just put MAC address of your adapter into the file 70-persistent-net.rules and reload the rules.
[07:33] <cibk> Oh okay will do thanks again
[07:36] <Jordan_U> If anyone is around when swengin comes back, please tell them that their problem is probably that their destination disk is smaller than the source when they ran dd, and so sone of the FS is missing.
[07:37] <cibk> I just cat'ed and I don't have a 70-persistent-net.rules file vbotka. I am on 15.10 if that helps
[07:39] <cibk> Well thanks to you vbotka I now have something to search!
[07:40] <vbotka> cibk, create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[07:41] <cibk> Okay
[07:41] <Amm0n> AbbieHoffman, you send these informations with the referer of your browser. If you don't want this, you need to spoof it with a plugin.
[07:43] <AbbieHoffman> which types of plugins are available to do that?
[07:44] <cibk> But I have to know what the kernal name for it is first right? And that would be the default boot name right?
[07:46] <cibk> Pretty annoying that aimon can change the name but then doesn't change it back no?
[07:53] <efefg2> " pastebinit " tool is quite handy, how to set Paste Expiration: ? some comments online suggest config file but are too vague
[07:57] <Maple> Hi- Does anybody know stuffs about the VBA emulator?
[07:57] <Amm0n> AbbieHoffman, depends on your browser and what suits your setup. Personally i use uMatrix to spoof my User agent with some fresh entrys from: https://techblog.willshouse.com/2012/01/03/most-common-user-agents/
[07:58] <Maple> I wanna find a way to put it into fullscreen like HIGAN.
[07:58] <Amm0n> But uMatrix does more than that.. You need to research yourself, it's not Ubuntu related
[07:59] <Maple> Sooooo does anybody knowww?
[07:59] <Maple> I tried to ask a question about higan emulator before and everyone completely ignored me..
[08:01] <jushur> Maple: is not ubuntu specific, go ask the emulator ppl instead?
[08:02] <Maple> Wheres that?
[08:02] <jushur> Maple: i have no clue.
[08:02] <Maple> jushur: I mean its on ubuntu so...
[08:03] <Maple> jushur: its different than the one for windows. Its got all sorts of messed up options and stuff. Everything seems to be broken.
[08:04] <vbotka> cibk, you just need to change the MAC address of your adapter
[08:04] <Maple> plus I dont even know where to start at compiling applications..
[08:04] <efefg2> the terminal
[08:05] <Maple> -_-
[08:05] <AbbieHoffman> Amm0n: thanks a found a great util but not that one!
[08:05] <Maple> yea i guess i would start there
[08:06] <efefg2> then type: abra cadabra, compile!
[08:07] <Maple> ok
[08:07] <jushur> Maple: id say you need a better understanding about how linux works in general then, go google some quickstart guide. (dont blindly follow guides tho. think before doing)
[08:08] <Maple> No command 'abra' found, did you mean:
[08:08] <Maple>  Command 'ara' from package 'ara' (universe)
[08:08] <Maple>  Command 'avra' from package 'avra' (universe)
[08:08] <Maple> abra: command not found
[08:08] <ikonia> Maple: he's joking
[08:08] <ikonia> ignore him
[08:08] <Maple> didnt work...
[08:09] <Maple> ik lolz I was doing an added effect haha
[08:09]  * efefg2 ignore him, how rude
[08:10] <Maple> I just heard you need some special building tools thooo
[08:10]  * jushur asigned Maple Unicorn status, rare but unusable!
[08:10] <efefg2> abra cadabra, sudo compile!  will work
[08:10] <ikonia> jushur: please stop
[08:10] <Maple> if you have those you can compile whatever?
[08:11] <Maple> wouldnt it be sudo abracadabra compile! ?
[08:11] <ikonia> Maple: stop
[08:11] <ikonia> please stop messing aroun d
[08:11] <Maple> lolz
[08:11] <Maple> what are thoze tools though?
[08:12] <ikonia> Maple: it's not a simple situation
[08:12] <efefg2> gcc probably
[08:12] <ikonia> Maple: you can't rush in like this
[08:12] <Maple> i mean I got a bunch like Qt4 and some libxtst stuff but i think I need more?
[08:12] <Maple> i got g++
[08:12] <ikonia> it's not that simple
[08:12] <efefg2> ./configure  make ./makeinstall or something
[08:13] <jushur> actually its a very simple situation, install the development tools and start your coding.
[08:13] <Maple> it can all be explained simplistically though right?
[08:13] <ikonia> no
[08:13] <ikonia> do not randomly do that
[08:13] <ikonia> Maple: no
[08:13] <Maple> I mean how hard can it really be?
[08:13] <ikonia> clearly too hard - as you're in here asking blindly
[08:14] <Maple> I tried installing a controller mapper but I failed completely..
[08:14] <Maple> with both of them
[08:14] <Maple> I dont know where my controller is..
[08:15] <ikonia> so it's pointless discussing any more then
[08:15] <efefg2> lsusb controller
[08:16] <Maple> I installed some PPA from a website and then I had to do a bunch of other installing and then got mixed up and I think my xpad is in my home folder but idk if thats the controller..
[08:16] <jushur> following guides blindly is bad.
[08:16] <Maple> is there an install where I can just get a developer toolkit?
[08:17] <ikonia> a what ?
[08:17] <Maple> an install where I just get all the tools I need to compile programs in just one download?
[08:17] <ikonia> Maple: no
[08:18] <Maple> that sucks. there should be one.
[08:18] <ikonia> Maple: this is not going to work for you
[08:18] <ikonia> you're trying to do brain surgery before you can hold a knife
[08:18] <jushur> Maple: what exactly do you want to code?
[08:18] <ikonia> Maple: there are - but you don't know how to use them, so it's a pointless discussion
[08:18] <jusss> hi there, I use debootstrap to install a mini os, but I chroot into it, and I find there's no package manager, how I should do?
[08:18] <jusss> I mean no apt-get or aptitude
[08:19] <ikonia> jushur: doesn't sound like it installed
[08:19] <Maple> Well I heard something about VBA-M but you have to compile it. Since I failed at the controllers I'm not exactly sure how well it would go..
[08:20] <Maple> Its not like im trying to code my own programs I just want to compile pre made ones thats all
[08:20] <efefg2> Maple: are you sure vbam is not in ubuntu repos
[08:20] <jushur> ikonia: my point exactly, following a guide without actually understanding what it does is stupid.
[08:21] <Maple> yea I checked. theres only one vba and its a GUI header. Idek what that is..
[08:21] <efefg2> but you have to start somewhere to learn and what is the point of learning if you lack the clear goal of the learning
[08:22] <ikonia> Maple: a gui header ?
[08:22] <ikonia> Maple: what is the name of the package ?
[08:23] <Maple> jushur: Im pretty sure by the term, all it does is put certain pieces of a program where they go in the exact order so they conform with the system format.
[08:23] <Maple> ikonia: Its something named vba, I'll look it upp.
[08:24] <Maple> ikonia: sorry its a front end.
[08:24] <Maple> and its not nearly as good as the VBA im running but the problem is I cant make it full screen..
[08:25] <ikonia> Maple: what is the name of the package
[08:25] <Maple> VBA Express
[08:25] <Amm0n> Isn't visualboyadvance in universe? And -F Fullscreen?
[08:25] <ikonia> Maple: so if there is a frontend package to it - that means there must be a depend package on the app
[08:26] <ikonia> Maple: if you install the gui it will automatically install the actual application
[08:26] <ikonia> therefore it seems logical you don't need to compile anything - it's already built and packaged for ubuntu
[08:26] <ikonia> problem solved
[08:26] <Amm0n> vba express is for KDE^
[08:26] <Maple> no no. im looking for VBA M
[08:27] <ikonia> Maple: they are just frontends
[08:27] <Maple> I dont know what a frontend is..
[08:27] <ikonia> a gui
[08:27] <Maple> Whats a GUI?
[08:28] <hwpplayer1> graphical user interface
[08:28] <efefg2> its created by CSI
[08:28] <hwpplayer1> where you click menu , start, exit
[08:28] <Maple> then why do they call it that instead of just calling it what it is?
[08:28] <ikonia> efefg2: enough with the jokes and silly comments please
[08:29] <ikonia> Maple: I suggest you just use the packages in the ubuntu repo and enjoy your experience
[08:29] <ikonia> if you try to get this custom setup - you will fail
[08:29] <Maple> because it runs terminal in the background?
[08:29] <ikonia> I'm sorry, but it's that simple
[08:29] <jushur> usually alt+enter or space+enter trows apps to fullscreen
[08:29] <efefg2> it allows you to see graphics like pictures
[08:30] <Maple> this one is different. its not like other programs where you have default hotkeys for things..
[08:31] <Maple> im gonna take a look in terminal..
[08:31] <ikonia> Maple: use the packages in the ubuntu repo
[08:31] <ikonia> anything else will just end up in your failure
[08:31] <ikonia> I don't really see a point in taking this forward any more
[08:31] <Maple> but the reviews are all shitty though...
[08:32] <Maple> I dont want crap...
[08:32] <ikonia> please don't swear
[08:32] <Maple> sorry. Its my status quo~
[08:32] <ikonia> then stop
[08:33] <Maple> hold on..
[08:33] <efefg2> maybe check a few videos on tubeyou
[08:33] <Maple> apt-get install visualboyadvance visualboyadvance-gtk
[08:33] <Maple> see if you can get it..
[08:34]  * v3 jumps
[08:34] <ikonia> no
[08:34] <ikonia> can you get it - thats the question
[08:34] <Maple> oh yeah. btw. the controllers dont work either.
[08:34] <Maple> how can I get it if I dont know half as much as you guys do about coding and stuff??
[08:34] <ikonia> Maple: you've just given us the command
[08:35] <ikonia> Maple: does that command work for you
[08:35] <Maple> thats to install it
[08:35] <ikonia> right - so it's installed
[08:35] <ikonia> now whats the problem with it ?
[08:35] <Maple> im having trouble going fullscreen with it
[08:35] <Maple> thats why I wanted to compile VBAM
[08:35] <jushur> Maple: open the .cfg file you should have saved at first launch and set fullScreen=1 on the proper line.
[08:35] <ikonia> Maple: that is not the answer
[08:36] <Maple> its a different application that you cant install like that..
[08:36] <ikonia> as jushur has just seen
[08:37] <jushur> Maple: apt-cache show vbaexpress
[08:38] <jushur> Maple: that is the frontend your talking about right?
[08:38] <Maple> no it is in this application~~~
[08:38] <Maple> apt-get install visualboyadvance visualboyadvance-gtk
[08:39] <efefg2> how about mgba
[08:40] <pam> I'm trying to make a bootable USB of Ultimate Boot CD.  I need a tutorial.
[08:40] <Maple> ISO?
[08:40] <pam> maple: yeah from an ISO
[08:41] <Maple> go to disks
[08:41] <Maple> wipe your usb
[08:41] <Maple> then click the gear in the top right
[08:41] <pam> huh? disks?
[08:41] <Maple> click restore image
[08:41] <pam> ok...following...
[08:41] <Maple> yeah click the windows button on your keyboard and type in disks
[08:42] <Maple> click the gear in the top right and click restore image
[08:42] <Maple> then find the ISO and youre good to go.
[08:43] <efefg2> Maple: why not gameboy on android
[08:43] <Maple> lolz I like it on my computezz
[08:44] <Guest34174> nick jimbob6996
[08:44] <Maple> i used to have windows...
[08:44] <Maple> Windows had every emulator known to man...
[08:45] <Maple> for some reason wine doesnt wanna install...
[08:45] <Maple> so I cant use that..
[08:45] <Maple> plus my RAM is wayyyyyyy not good enough for that...
[08:45] <Maple> or CPU
[08:45] <Maple> whatever it uses
[08:46] <Maple> I have a very cheep laptop.
[08:46] <jushur> I have a firm belif that some ppl should not be allowed to use computers.
[08:46] <Maple> best it can do is PSXE
[08:46] <efefg2> how about mednafen
[08:47] <Maple> jushur: so what do ya think? is it broken?
[08:47] <Maple> whats mednafen?
[08:47] <brontosaurusrex> jushur: mine beats me in chess, but in kungfu i rule.
[08:48] <jushur> Maple: the software is not, you are. I even told you what to do. and you still has not.
[08:48] <Maple> jushur: Where is the config file???
[08:48] <Maple> jushur: Its not in cache, I looked
[08:48] <jushur> brontosaurusrex: well i bet you beat me in kungfu to, and i beat your computer at chess
[08:49] <brontosaurusrex> :)
[08:49] <jushur> Maple: install the vbaexpress
[08:49] <jushur> Maple: launch it, save config. edit it with a text editor.
[08:49] <Maple> fineee
[08:49] <Maple> wait can I use it with the other one I have?
[08:50] <jushur> "drumroll"
[08:50] <Maple> ...
[08:50] <Maple> *Waiting optimistically*
[08:51]  * efefg2 Loading optimism 60%
[08:52] <Maple> Ahhh.....
[08:52] <Maple> No..
[08:52] <Maple> Its like the other one.
[08:53] <Maple> I want it to fit the entire screen
[08:53] <Maple> like higan does
[08:53] <jusss> I chroot into a mini debian via debootstrap, and I find there's no apt-get command, how I install apt-get?
[08:53] <efefg2> which part of the world are you from
[08:53] <jushur> Maple: launch vbaexpress, in hte right side chose TV MODE. save config.
[08:54] <Maple> the one where people dont generally know how to code..
[08:54] <Maple> nopeee
[08:55] <Maple> its the sameee
[08:55] <efefg2> screenshot?
[08:55] <Maple> those are graphics options like for resolutions but not aspect ratio
[08:56] <Maple> how would I post a screenshot?
[08:56] <efefg2> have you looked in /home/Maple/.config/
[08:57] <Maple> theres nothing..
[08:57] <Maple> im starting to lose hope guys
[08:57] <Maple> there was an option for fullscreen AND aspect ratio in the windows version...
[08:57] <Maple> I think my only hope is for VBA M
[08:58] <eadrom> I'm having issues installing binutils on a fresh 14.04 droplet.  I'm getting an odd grep error when apt-get is processing triggers for libc-bin "grep: write error"
[08:58] <Olotila>  /set irc_conf_mode 1
[08:59] <eadrom> anyone know anything about this?
[08:59] <Olotila>  /set irc_conf_mode 1
[09:01] <Olotila> how do I see installed packages?
[09:01] <Olotila> I want to remove xfreedrp or freedrp-x11
[09:01] <Olotila> ubuntu gnome 15.10
[09:02] <Besogon> hello guys! Does anybody know how to make icons in main menu not pop and not move? When I open main menu I see some icon then I click it but at this time icons position are recalculated and I open different application.. Ubuntu 14.04
[09:03] <Olotila> Ubuntu Software Center does not show anything, but the program runs
[09:04] <the7thsin> Olotila, you can always type in the command line sudo apt-get remove xfreedrp
[09:04] <Olotila> does not work
[09:04] <Maple> I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[09:04] <efefg2> Olotila: i think the synaptic package manager would give you a better overview
[09:04] <the7thsin> Olotila, it will tell you if its removed
[09:04] <Maple> the VBA M from source forge worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[09:05] <the7thsin> Does someone have pulseaudio crash when they play sound from 2 places
[09:05] <dchapman_> Ok, you've exceeded your exclamation point quota for today.
[09:06] <Maple> Im happy...
[09:06] <Olotila> says   E: Unable to locate package xfreedrp
[09:06] <Maple> That took alot longer than expected though..
[09:07] <the7thsin> Olotila, so its not installed
[09:07] <Olotila> it runs
[09:08] <Olotila> I do get the remote desktop working
[09:08] <the7thsin> Olotila, then try find it with synaptic
[09:09] <Olotila> its funny, when i type xfreedrp, it gives "No command 'xfreedrp' found, did you mean:
[09:09] <Olotila>  Command 'xfreerdp' from package 'freerdp-x11' (main)
[09:09] <Olotila> "
[09:09] <the7thsin> open synaptic and in the search write the package name
[09:09] <Olotila> ok
[09:09] <Maple> So on the offhand does anybody know how to set up persistence in ParrotSec???
[09:10] <Ben64> Maple: so you're not even using ubuntu?
[09:10] <Maple> Well no im using Ubuntu but I was just curious since this is another problem ive also run into..
[09:11] <Ben64> this channel is for ubuntu only
[09:12] <Maple> i know but there arent any channels for what im looking for...
[09:12] <Maple> if there were one I would be there but I dont know one...
[09:12] <Ben64> well its not on topic here
[09:13] <Maple> well what else is goin on here?
[09:14] <Olotila> yeah, found it, thanks the7thsin
[09:16] <jushur> Maple: you have been told several times its not the correct stuff for this channel. ask things about ubuntu and we can help you.
[09:17] <dchapman_> Maple: You could try general questions like that in say ##linux
[09:17] <Maple> where is that???
[09:17] <dchapman_> .../join ##linux
[09:18] <Maple> Ahh!! more thanks!!!
[09:20] <wahyu_> how to hack wifi wpa2 guys ??
[09:20] <Maple> I cant post to the channel...
[09:21] <Maple> why cant I do this?
[09:21] <auronandace> !register | Maple
[09:22] <efefg2> Maple: #linux must be for the linux kernel, not a random loosely linux related questions
[09:23] <efefg2> try search engine
[09:23] <gauravgrover95> hey
[09:24] <gauravgrover95> hey... I am first time ever using an IRC channel.. can someone guide me through it
[09:24] <gauravgrover95> I tried to connect to #python channel

[09:27] <Maple> Byeeessss
[09:27] <gauravgrover95> Ok...
[09:27] <gauravgrover95> I joined freenode.. :)
[09:27] <gauravgrover95> nice..
[09:28] <rdivacky> hi... a libnss3 update to 12.04 on 18/2 broke chromium (when accessing ssl sites), is that a known thing?
[09:28] <ethanxro1en> s
[09:28] <gauravgrover95> "#freenode :Cannot send to channel" :(
[09:28] <gauravgrover95> Now what is this
[09:29] <dchapman_> !register | gauravgrover95
[09:29] <Amm0n> gauravgrover95, wait until you get +v
[09:30] <rdivacky> is there an archive of ubuntu packages somewhere? so that I can downgrade my libnss3
[09:30] <Ben64> rdivacky: not a good idea
[09:31] <rdivacky> Ben64: the current libnss3 in 12.04 breaks chromium
[09:31] <rdivacky> I want to downgrade to the version before that update
[09:31] <rdivacky> ie. what I had 2 days ago
[09:31] <Ben64> yes, i understand. not a good idea
[09:31] <rdivacky> what do you suggest instead?
[09:32] <Ben64> figure out the actual problem
[09:32] <rdivacky> I think the libnss3 API changed and chromium is still using the old API
[09:33] <rdivacky> Ben64: can I donwload the old package somewhere? so that I can LD_PRELOAD the libs from it for chromium
[09:34] <Ben64> not a good idea
[09:34] <rdivacky> why?
[09:34] <rdivacky> the new libnss3 is clearly incompatible with my chromium
[09:34] <Ben64> because you're trying to reintroduce a security flaw
[09:34] <rdivacky> thats fine with me
[09:34] <Ben64> and it isn't "clearly" incompatible, you're guessing
[09:35] <rdivacky> Ben64: chromum fails to initialise the nss
[09:35] <rdivacky> ie. the certs are not loaded
[09:36] <Ben64> what is the output of uname -a
[09:36] <rdivacky> uhm? how is that relevant?
[09:37] <rdivacky> Ben64: how is my kernel version relevant?
[09:37] <Ben64> well good luck
[09:38] <rdivacky> Ben64: is the chromium breakage in 12.04 a known thing? I am fine waiting for this to be fixed for a few days
[09:40] <jushur> !eol rdivacky
[09:44] <rdivacky> I guess the proper thing to do is to recompile chromium in 12.04 against that new libnss
[09:47] <tipe> hi all today i am trying to find some tools like unetbootin that i can install and try out
[09:49] <rdivacky> so the old packages are not archived anywhere?
[09:50] <asko> i accidentally removed shutdown button from panel, how i get it back?
[09:52] <tipe> asko, try to tight click the pannel and see what options you ge andlook there ok
[09:53] <tipe> add to pannel should e there
[09:53] <asko> tipe, no shutdown option in installed programs :/
[09:53] <tipe> tipe, it si a pannell aplet
[09:53] <tipe> listen to what i said ^
[09:54] <tipe> configure panle is another option
[09:54] <tipe> asko,
[09:55] <asko> tipe, found that one too but no shutdown option
[09:56] <prasang7> hello everyone!
[09:56] <tipe> asko, google search for panel applets in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Applets
[09:57] <asko> i found that but in lubuntu there is no quit option
[09:57] <tipe> are you using lubuntu
[09:57] <tipe> well that is now a different os than ubuntu
[09:57] <asko> i thought its the same
[09:58] <asko> except lighter
[09:58] <tipe> asko pleases join the lubuntu chat here #lubuntu
[09:58] <asko> wrong channel sorry :)
[09:58] <tipe> asko no
[09:58] <asko> and thank you for the help
[09:59] <tipe> ubuntu stopped using other desktops and focused on unity they only use ubuntu. other os that are built on ubuntu are, lubunty, kubuntu, edubuntu, xubuntu, ubuntu studio, linux mint etc
[10:00] <tipe> asko, when in ubutu if you use hexchat/xchat app it will direct you to the lubuntu channel
[10:01] <prasang7> kubuntu is a different flavor?
[10:01] <Mike9863> I had a file saving to /tmp but it ran out of space and I closed the program thus removing the file. Is there any way I can recover what was there?
[10:01] <asko> i use xchat but it opened this channel :)
[10:01] <mcphail> tipe: lubuntu is not a different OS. It is just a different default desktop
[10:02] <tipe> mcphall not any more.
[10:02] <Ben64> tipe: you're wrong
[10:02] <mcphail> tipe: since when???
[10:02] <tipe> lubuntu uses lxde desktop
[10:02] <Ben64> !flavor
[10:03] <tipe> ubuntu abandoned all other ubuntu baised os
[10:03] <Ben64> no
[10:03] <mcphail> tipe: that is incorrect
[10:04] <tipe> to focus on their unity desktop. the other direct ubuntu os where taken over by other people not assosiatied with ubunity and canoniacle
[10:04] <tipe> this is how i understand things to have been
[10:04] <tipe> ubuntu still maintain the repos and bass of their os that others build ontop of
[10:04] <mcphail> !info lubuntu-desktop xenial
[10:04] <wiryadisl> Hallo
[10:05] <wiryadisl> Can help me?
[10:05] <mcphail> tipe: ^^ still supported in development release. Now please stop repeating misinformation
[10:05] <Ben64> wiryadisl: not until you ask a question
[10:06] <asko> hmm, ailurus requires gnome? :o
[10:06] <prasang7> hello all: Can we share media files via IRC, like images etc.
[10:07] <Ben64> prasang7: not here
[10:08] <tipe> mcbloom, i was under the understanding that lubuntu was not built by the ubuntu company directly anymore. it had another team take over when they officially adopted unity as the main desktop
[10:09] <prasang7> All: Is there any relation between my IRC client and this channel. Can someone from other client join this channel (Newbie).
[10:09] <tipe> if i am wrong or slightly confused about this forgive me
[10:09] <brontosaurusrex> prasang7: yes they can.
[10:10] <brontosaurusrex> tipe: would be kinda funny if true, now you got me wondering what are they up to.
[10:12] <brontosaurusrex> tipe: I guess they read Steve Jobs biography.
[10:13] <tipe> i admit the way i explain nthings is not always corfect. but i do understand a bit about canoniacle
[10:13] <tipe> and ubuntu etc and unity
[10:13] <tipe> its all in there.
[10:13] <tipe> someware
[10:14] <msample> prasang7: sharing images and media files in IRC is very cumbersome and usually doesn't work as many ISP's and routers block it. There are ways of sharing images and other files that are infinitely better than IRC
[10:14] <prasang7> brontosaurusrex: can you suggest me a channel for beginners to make themselves comfortable with IRC.
[10:15] <brontosaurusrex> prasang7: no, I'd type "using irc" into google.
[10:16] <prasang7> brontosaurusrex: Sure.
[10:18] <brontosaurusrex> prasang7: then read about the specific irc client you are using.
[10:18] <rcmainak> prasang7: if you want IRC commands DuckDuckGo has a cheat sheet for that
[10:19] <rcmainak> prasang7: here you go : https://duckduckgo.com/?q=irc+cheat+sheet&t=ffab&ia=cheatsheet&iax=1
[10:20] <prasang7> rcmainak: thanks a lot.
[10:20] <rcmainak> :D
[10:21] <rcmainak> for more help on IRC you can query me :)
[10:23] <rcmainak> plus this is not the right place to ask for help in IRC. If you need help on IRC you can join #freenode prasang7
[10:24] <prasang7> rcmainak: Thats what I was looking for. Thanks :)
[10:29] <ethanxrosen>  /n
[10:32] <rdivacky> Ben64: why did you want to know my kernel version?
[10:32] <Ben64> because i was trying to help you, but i don't help people that make that process harder
[10:33] <rdivacky> Ben64: it's 3.20
[10:33] <rdivacky> Ben64: it's not clear to me how that affects userspace library though
[10:34] <Ben64> thats not even an ubuntu kernel
[10:34] <rdivacky> sorry, 3.2.0
[10:34] <rdivacky> it is ubuntu kernel
[10:35] <Ben64> well chromium worked on my test system
[10:35] <rdivacky> Ben64: 12.04 ? accessing ssl sites? (ie. google.com) ?
[10:35] <Ben64> yep
[10:36] <rdivacky> what chromium version do you have?
[10:36] <Ben64> whatever the newest is on 12.04
[10:36] <rdivacky> and what libnss3 version do you have?
[10:36] <rdivacky> can you check the versions of both for me please?
[10:36] <rdivacky> I am at chromium 37, and libnss3 3.21
[10:36] <Ben64> nope, but they were the latest versions
[10:36] <MrElendig> "whatever is newest" usually tend to end up being 4 versions out of date compared to what actually is the newest
[10:36] <MrElendig> give the actual version
[10:37] <Ben64> latest on 12.04
[10:37] <rdivacky> the libnss3 was updated on 18/2
[10:38] <rdivacky> the libnss3 was updated from <IP_ADDRESS> to 3.21 and that broke things for me
[10:44] <rdivacky> MrElendig: do you know if there's a svn/git/whatever repository with "something" to build the packages? I want to checkout the older version of libnss3 and build it myself
[10:44] <MrElendig> don't do that if the system is facing any insecure network
[10:45] <Ben64> its very likely you're going about this the entirely wrong way, since i was able to use chromium just fine
[10:45] <rdivacky> MrElendig: sure, I understand the risks
[10:46] <rdivacky> Ben64: possibly, all I know that my chromium stopped working for https pages two days ago when I updated my libnss3
[10:47] <rdivacky> and that my chromium is giving me nss errors now
[10:47] <Ben64> you might as well upgrade to trusty or xenial now
[10:47] <rdivacky> I prefer not to as I have an ancient computer
[10:47] <Ben64> doesn't matter
[10:48] <rdivacky> I hope this issue will be fixed in a few days
[10:48] <rdivacky> if not, I'll get the old libnss3
[10:48] <Ben64> 64 or 32 bit
[10:48] <rdivacky> 64
[10:48] <Ben64> why would you willingly subject yourself to ssl bugs
[10:48] <Ben64> thats the dumbest thing i've heard all day
[10:49] <rdivacky> because I dont care about security when reading newspapers
[10:49] <alexwhitman> Has the Ubuntu Mono font changed recently in 16.04? Performed an update today and things look... odd
[10:49] <Ben64> alexwhitman: support for 16.04 in #ubuntu+1 until release
[10:49] <alexwhitman> Thanks :-)
[10:50] <rdivacky> Ben64: anyway, is there a repository with the package "makefiles" somewhere?
[10:50] <Ben64> so you're still insisting on going the wrong way
[10:50] <rdivacky> yes
[10:50] <Ben64> you're on your own with that
[10:51] <rdivacky> wrong according to you
[10:51] <rdivacky> correct according to me
[10:51] <Ben64> chromium works on 12.04
[10:51] <rdivacky> not for me
[10:51] <Ben64> so it must be something else
[10:51] <rdivacky> and you didnt give out your version numbers, so hard to judge
[10:51] <Ben64> the newest
[10:51] <rdivacky> Ben64: I am seeing nss errors
[10:51] <Ben64> i said newest, it was the newest
[10:52] <rdivacky> [13480:13515:0220/091136:ERROR:nss_util.cc(856)] After loading Root Certs, loaded==false: NSS error code: -8018
[10:52] <rdivacky> does this look like I am guessing it's nss?
[10:52] <Ben64> yes
[10:52] <brontosaurusrex> rdivacky: silly one, but is your system date/clock correct?
[10:52] <rdivacky> brontosaurusrex: yes
[10:52] <rdivacky> Ben64: why?
[10:54] <saket_> Hi
[10:54] <saket_> I am looking to install maas autopilot
[10:55] <saket_> can anyone please let me know two disk requirement is with RAID or it should be individual disks
[10:57] <maxcool12345> Hii everyone
[10:57] <maxcool12345> I am first time using IRC
[10:57] <wang> hello
[10:57] <maxcool12345> and I am trying to explore
[10:57] <wang> I am the second
[10:57] <maxcool12345> Can you suggest me some interesting stuff??
[10:57] <maxcool12345> :)
[10:57] <wang> meihua
[10:57] <Ben64> maxcool12345: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[10:58] <maxcool12345> Ok.. :) So one problem I have in my ubuntu machine
[10:58] <Sebo> Hi, I've got Trusty14.04LTS with seperated /home at dm-crypt encrypted drive. And I have lost its password. How can I set this partition from scratch with a new password?
[10:58] <maxcool12345> my machine is playing sound perfectly fine on web browsers
[10:59] <MrElendig> Sebo: wipe it with urandom then set it up again
[10:59] <maxcool12345> but when it comes to native desktop apps like VLC
[10:59] <maxcool12345> No sound is being played
[10:59] <MrElendig> Sebo: also next time create two keys, one that you store on paper somewhere safe
[10:59] <wang> maxcool12345,beauty is a good choice
[10:59] <MrElendig> Sebo: in case of situations like this
[10:59] <vagelis_> Hey guys. I have installed Ubuntu 15.10 in VMware and i cant find a way to make my sound work. This is the message i get from VMware " A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system.
[10:59] <vagelis_> Sound will be disconnected." I want to make it work and to solve all those problems so i can test it at my work as a fully usable OS. Thanks for your time and efford guys.
[11:00] <maxcool12345> wang: Sorry.. What?
[11:00] <MrElendig> too bad most banks doesn't have a vault anymore
[11:00] <Ben64> vagelis_: sounds like you need vmware support, not ubuntu support
[11:00] <wang> Desktop Landscaping
[11:01] <Sebo> MrElendig: There is no valuable data there (that I had not at backup)... Anyway I would not like to be forced to reconfigure the whole OS from scratch :p
[11:01] <MrElendig> Sebo: since it is just /home you don't have to
[11:02] <MrElendig> as said, wipe the volume in question with urandom and then set it up again
[11:02] <vagelis_> Ben64 i tried but couldnt find anything that's why i thought i should give it a try here. Sry if i was irrelevant.
[11:02] <rdivacky> Ben64: btw... -8018 is SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PKCS11_ERROR
[11:02] <rdivacky> this seriously looks like an API mismatch
[11:02] <Ben64> rdivacky: well it still works here, so its not libnss3 causing the problem
[11:03] <rdivacky> Ben64: you didnt give out the version numbers, so this is not very useful information
[11:03] <Sebo> MrElendig: yep, but I have set this up by the OS instalation... And Ihave no idea how to do it when the rest of the OS is working.
[11:03] <Ben64> rdivacky: how do you not understand "latest in 12.04"
[11:04] <rdivacky> Ben64: how do you not understand it's not a number?
[11:04] <Ben64> !info libnss3 precise
[11:04] <Ben64> that version
[11:05] <rdivacky> thanks, and chromium version?
[11:05] <saket_> looking for some knowledge sharing on MAAS
[11:05] <Ben64> !info chromium-browser precise
[11:05] <Ben64> that one
[11:05] <Sebo> MrElendig: I was searching for a guide, but what I have found is nothing more than a encrypted user home setup.
[11:05] <rdivacky> Ben64: ok, thanks, thats indeed identical to mine
[11:05] <Ben64> duh
[11:05] <saket_> hi any one having deployed auto pilot maas
[11:05] <MrElendig> Sebo: you overwrite the volume with the output of urandom, then you use cryptsetup to set up a container on it, then you just add it ti crypttab and fstab
[11:06] <MrElendig> Sebo: sadly, despite the corporate backing and huge user base the ubuntu wiki on luks is quite dated
[11:07] <rdivacky> Ben64: any idea what can be wrong?
[11:07] <MrElendig> Sebo: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device_encryption  might be of help though, vert little of it is distro dependent
[11:07] <Ben64> rdivacky: something else
[11:07] <rdivacky> Ben64: when I remove my .pki, I am not getting the NSS error anymore, yet ssl in chrome doesnt still work
[11:07] <MrElendig> Sebo: but make sure you wipe with urandom first
[11:09] <MrElendig> rdivacky: what hash are you using for your cert?
[11:10] <rdivacky> MrElendig: no idea, how can I tell?
[11:11] <rdivacky> btw... it doesnt work under a different user either, so it's not user specific but something system wide
[11:11] <MrElendig> https://shaaaaaaaaaaaaa.com/ the site if it is public
[11:12] <MrElendig> or openssl x509 -noout -text -in  whatever
[11:12] <Sebo> MrElendig: Is the urandom whipping really required? If there is no valuable data there, then what is this for?
[11:13] <MrElendig> Sebo: yes it is
[11:13] <rdivacky> MrElendig: that might be it
[11:13] <MrElendig> else you can do pattern analysis to get an idea of the data
[11:13] <rdivacky> MrElendig: openssl says "unable to load certificate"
[11:13] <MrElendig> Sebo: just start the wipe then take a hike (literally), and it will be done when you get back :)
[11:14] <MrElendig> urandom isn't *that* much slower than /dev/zero
[11:14] <rdivacky> MrElendig: any idea how to diagnose openssl not being able to load the certificate?
[11:15] <Ben64> and urandom is way way slower than zero
[11:16] <MrElendig> Ben64: yes, but not really *that* much slower, it will still be done in a reasonable time unless your volume is 10TiB+
[11:16] <Sebo> MrElendig: What I thought was rather not whipping at all, if it was not required.
[11:16] <MrElendig> Sebo: you atleast have to wipe the header, but you really should wipe the whole volume
[11:17] <rdivacky> MrElendig: uhm.. it's probably not it, openssl is unable to do that even on another system where chromium works just fine
[11:17] <Ben64> on my system... urandom = 13.1MB/s, zero = 7.4GB/s
[11:18] <MrElendig> if you have hardware support for aes256 you can abuse it
[11:18] <MrElendig> that will
[11:18] <MrElendig> that
[11:18] <Sebo> MrElendig: it is just a 16GB virtual hdd - so I would not like to extend its sise by random data where it is not required.
[11:18] <MrElendig> damn lag
[11:18] <MrElendig> that will give you 2-300MB/s
[11:18] <MrElendig> or more
[11:19] <Sebo> MrElendig: Do you know how large the header might be?
[11:20] <MrElendig> you *really* should wipe the whole thing
[11:20] <MrElendig> in fact if you had started it right away it would have been done now since your volume is only 16 gig
[11:20] <MrElendig> :p
[11:21] <MrElendig> the header size varies depending on the key type and how many of them you have
[11:31] <otila> friend upgraded to 15.10, on boot gets "Unable to mount root on unknown-block(0,0)"
[11:32] <otila> ..with 4.2 kernel.  with old 3.13 boot goes further
[11:32] <Phanes> hey there.  i understand that you have a working fglrx driver package in ubuntu.  Where would I go to see the package's patches that it applies to the module driver build?
[11:35] <rdivacky> so where is the svn/git/whatever repository of ubuntu package "makefiles" ? I want to see if linking against an old version of libnss3 will fix the issue or not
[11:35] <rdivacky> as a data point
[11:37] <noobpen> how to detect sniffers in ubuntu ?
[11:37] <noobpen> sniffers in lan ?
[11:37] <noobpen> need help
[11:41] <bekks> noobpen: So state your actual problem, not your propposed way of solving it.
[11:42] <noobpen> becks: how can i detect sniffers in my lan using ubuntu ?
[11:43] <bekks> noobpen: So state your actual problem, not your propposed way of solving it.
[11:43] <Phanes> sorry that bekks is such a douche, noobpen.  there are ways to detect sniffers but you'll need some extra layers besides a stock ubuntu system, i'll get you some links.
[11:44] <bekks> Phanes: Why do you start calling names on random people?
[11:44] <Phanes> bekks, Why are you such a douche to clear and simple questions?
[11:44] <bekks> !ops | Phanes
[11:44] <Phanes> Can you cry for me please?
[11:44] <bekks> Can some please tell phanes to stop calling names on people? Thank you.
[11:45] <noobpen> Phanes :yea.. pls that would be very helpful
[11:45] <akik> bekks: noobpen had a direct question if you didn't notice
[11:45] <Phanes> np noobpen and again, sorry about bekks
[11:45] <noobpen> its ok
[11:46] <Phanes> noobpen, you'll want to explore pre-emptive lan configurations but this should be insightful: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/25011/how-can-i-detect-if-someone-is-sniffing-network-packets-on-the-lan
[11:46] <bekks> akik: And thats a justification for calling names on people? I'm sorry, but thats illogical.
[11:47] <Phanes> bekks, i stand by my prior assessment of your character.
[11:47] <bekks> k1l_: thx
[11:48] <not_phanes> only 2000 more chances oh no!
[11:48] <not_phanes> :(
[12:01] <otila> okay so 4.2 kernel does not boot, 3.13 does not work with display manager because it needs kdbus :D nice testing there :D
[12:07] <otila> how to change display manager to something which does not need kdbus in 15.10?
[12:11] <bekks> Why dont you just installl kdbus?
[12:12] <otila> 14:01:28 < otila> okay so 4.2 kernel does not boot, 3.13 does not work with display manager because it needs kdbus :D nice testing there :D
[12:13] <bekks> And why dont you install kdbus?
[12:13] <otila> do you mean 15.10 upgrade does not install kdbus, but depends on it working and being installed?
[12:13] <mcphail> otila: what did you upgrade from to get to 15.10? Did you try to go straight from 14.04 to 15.10? That won't work
[12:14] <bekks> otila: No.
[12:14] <otila> bekks: my friend is having the problem, not me
[12:15] <otila> mcphail: I'd guess it was 14.04
[12:15] <mcphail> otila: then he has broken his system
[12:15] <mcphail> otila: suggest he reinstalls
[12:28] <asko> wow, doesnt vlc plugin work in ubuntu. not in firefox addons but got it via terminal

[12:41] <holux> Hello , i would like to know if anybody has good Experiences with installing E17 or Moksha WMs. Are they running without Problems ? Im currently running an Bodhi Linux but have to delete it because its just not working completly - so now ithought about just a new installation and install e17 manually. Is this a good idea ? Does it work in every aspect ?
[12:42] <bekks> holux: Bodhi linux isnt supported in here.
[12:43] <holux> talking bout Ubuntu and installing other WM afterwards ,, sorry
[12:44] <holux> WM like E17 or Moksha
[12:44] <bekks> holux: So whats your problem with which WM specifically, using Ubuntu?
[12:45] <holux> Expieriencing Problems with error Messages - uncapable of Rar handling - some small issues like this
[12:45] <jushur> asko: what driver do you run?
[12:45] <bazhang> !info unp
[12:46] <otila> mcphail: ok ubuntu started working after he did "dpkg --configure -a"
[12:46] <asko> jushur, i havent downloaded one, just got the os
[12:46] <mcphail> otila: if he has gone straight from 14.04 to 15.10, expect it to break again in multiple interesting ways
[12:47] <asko> thanks i'll try that
[12:47] <jushur> asko: are you running vesa and wondering why its sluggish? ;)
[12:48] <asko> whats vesa?
[12:48] <otila> mcphail: why?
[12:48] <otila> is there no equiv of "dnf distro-sync" in ubuntu?
[12:48] <holux> isnt it versa ?
[12:49] <bekks> otila: Because upgrading directly from 14.04 to 15.10 isnt supported. You need upgrade 14.04 -> 14.10 -> 15.04 -> 15.10
[12:49] <bekks> otila: And 14.10 & 15.04 are EOL.
[12:50] <jushur> asko: when i ask what driver your running i expect an answer actually.
[12:50] <jushur> i know, hes gone.
[12:53] <syd_> I've somehow removed my only sudo user on Ubuntu 14.04, so I'm trying to boot into recovery mode, however the Shift key (both left and right) are not bringing up the grub menu. Any advice?
[12:54] <jushur> syd_: tab?
[12:54] <cfhowlett> syd_, boot an ubuntu USB, chroot to your system and attempt recovery.  if your sudo user is actually done, you will face significant challenges
[12:55] <syd_> cfhowlett: im pretty sure i just removed it from a group accidentally
[12:56] <EriC^^> syd_: try disabling fast boot from the bios and try esc instead of shift
[12:57] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:57] <syd_> jushur: tab brought it up? Is that a change from 14.04? A lot of documentation and stack exchange things im seeing say Shift
[12:57] <syd_> s/?/.
[12:57] <jushur> syd_: as far i know its grub default keybind for menu. ive always used it.
[12:58] <syd_> I was looking here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
[12:58] <syd_> Either way, thanks everyone
[13:05] <Revian1> How would one create a custom bootable usb Ubuntu key that has, for instance, gjots2 instead of gedit for the text editor?

[13:06] <amosb> Hello! Is there a way I can remap 'Ctrl-L' to 'Return' and 'Ctrl-h' to 'Backspace'? I've tried 'sxkbd', 'xbindkeys' with 'xdotool', neither works.
[13:06] <Revian1> cfhowlett, Oh, so it is possible. I wasn't expecting to see a tool to help with this. Thank you very much.
[13:06] <cfhowlett> happy2help! Revian1
[13:09] <jushur> amosb: xmodmap
[13:09] <Revian1> cfhowlett, Uck is also in the ubuntu repos, by the way
[13:09] <cfhowlett> Revian1, cool
[13:10] <amosb> jushur: xmodmap cannot remap 'Ctrl-xxx'
[13:10] <jushur> amosb: actually i disagree with you on that
[13:11] <gaurav2> hi all
[13:11] <amosb> jushur: wow, could you show me how to achieve this remapping?
[13:12] <gaurav2> need help
[13:13] <EriC^^> amosb: why couldn't you do it with xbindkeys?
[13:14] <amosb> EriC^^: I've tried very hard on this one with xbindkeys plus xdotool
[13:15] <amosb> EriC^^: It just doesn't work
[13:17] <EriC^^> you want ctrl+l = backspace?
[13:19] <PR0r>  is it possible to check the longest 'uptime' the system has had?
[13:19] <amosb> ctrl+l = return,  ctrl+h=backspace

[15:19] <alimj> Good morning. I am searching for a cross platform GPL password manager with both GUI and CLI interfaces (and preferably a Cloud option). It appears that KeePassX (and KeePass ecosystem) is what I should look into?
[15:21] <ducasse> alimj: I think KeePass is probably the best option if you want cross platform, GUI + CLI. You will need to deal with cloud yourself, though.
[15:22] <alimj> OK ducasse. Thanks for the advise
[15:22] <synapticdolphin> hello, im having issues with screen size on ubuntu its  rather zoomed in... anyways i can fix it thanks in advance
[15:22] <synapticdolphin> can i fix it i mean
[15:23] <ducasse> alimj: np. I prefer KeepassX over 'regular' Keepass, but it depends on what you need in terms of plugins.
[15:23] <cfhowlett> synapticdolphin, sounds like you may have enabled the Accessibility options
[15:23] <synapticdolphin> oh ok thanks lemme fix that
[15:23] <travisthenavi> Hello all, I am a Windows user who is looking to take the jump into Linux. I think that I'd like to use Ubuntu. I just installed elementary OS on my machine with a flash drive, however, it is quite buggy at the moment and I want to create an Ubuntu flash drive instead in order to use it as my laptops primary OS. Can somebody please walk me through the steps that I need to take?
[15:24] <cfhowlett> !usb | travisthenavi
[15:24] <travisthenavi> (Goal: Install Xubuntu on Lenovo ThinkPad - Current OS: elementary OS)
[15:25] <synapticdolphin> travisthenavi, ok so i would suggest the easiest way for u to make a bootable drive is 2 download a imaging software like win32 and just flash
[15:25] <synapticdolphin> but always format before doing the flash using the software
[15:26] <synapticdolphin> if this sounds feasible to you i will go ahead and tell you the steps
[15:32] <travisthenavi> synapticdolphin: I am willing to do it your way.
[15:32] <inerkick> Hi. I keep getting this popup. http://fundownload224.xyz in ubuntu.. Don't get why. How to block this or remove it
[15:32] <travisthenavi> Whatever works buddy. Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it.
[15:32] <inerkick> it seems malware or some sort of ad
[15:33] <cfhowlett> inerkick, more likely an ad.  adblock for your firefox will kill most ads
[15:33] <inerkick> i heard it does't work
[15:34] <cfhowlett> "I heard ..." ...
[15:37] <PestBuda> inerkick: use uBlock Origin
[15:37] <travisthenavi> synapticdolphin: You still there?
[15:38] <PestBuda> inerkick: is the ad poping up inside browser?  which browser?
[15:38] <inerkick> firfox
[15:38] <inerkick> yes inside the browser
[15:38] <PestBuda> uBlock is lighter on resources, and it works
[15:38] <inerkick> it doesn't allow me to even close that without accepting it
[15:39] <inerkick> I crap feel using windows at times when this shit popup show up
[15:39] <PestBuda> just open another windows of firefox and download / install uBlock
[15:39] <inerkick> it seems like i'm using windows
[15:39] <inerkick> yeah
[15:39] <PestBuda> ublock origin
[15:40] <PestBuda> inerkick: another "WINDOW" of Firefox...
[15:40] <Guest55691> when i do hist discovery with nmap using -sP i can find some hosts, but -sL says no host up..whats the difference?
[15:40] <Guest55691> *host discovery
[15:40] <inerkick> no, i mean I feel I am using microsoft windows which such creepy popups show.
[15:41] <cfhowlett> inerkick, also, enable your firewall
[15:41] <Karkoon> Hi. Do you know what I need to write in boot options to boot from livecd/usb to RAM?
[15:41] <inerkick> could you help, cfhowlett
[15:41] <Karkoon> I've read something about toram but I don't know how to use it.
[15:41] <cfhowlett> inerkick, open a terminal
[15:42] <cfhowlett> inerkick, sudo ufw -enable
[15:42] <Karkoon> Do I just need to write it after splash --?
[15:45] <Guest55691> when i do hist discovery with nmap using -sP i can find some hosts, but -sL says no host up..whats the difference?
[15:46] <xangua> 9:41 AM <Karkoon> Hi. Do you know what I need to write in boot options to boot from livecd/usb to RAM? / that's what a live session does already
[15:54] <skinux> I've (finally) successfully gotten booted into Ubuntu Live, now what is the best way to install GRUB even if I have to over-write MBR?
[15:55] <skinux> I just installed the grub "package" and it created menu.lst, but I need there to be a boot menu, so I'm guessing I have to over-write MBR to have that.
[15:55] <karkoon> ok
[15:55] <karkoon> So live mode and persistance mode are different in speed.
[15:56] <karkoon> or toram worked
[15:56] <skinux> Oh wait..I needed to chroot to hard drive before doing that. Oh well....how do I properly install GRUB so I get a GRUB boot menu before Windows boot menu?
[15:57] <skinux> Is this tutorial good? http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/776643-how-to-rescue-a-non-booting-grub-2-on-linux/
[15:57] <C368H> Hello there, what's the most Unity friendly Twitter client out there? Thank you
[15:58] <travisthenavi> How do I create a live usb of Xubuntu if I am currently running elementary OS?
[15:58] <travisthenavi> Can someone please guide me through the steps.
[15:58] <travisthenavi> elementary OS is way too buggy for my laptop
[16:00] <xangua> travisthenavi: you were given a step by step guide a few minutes ago, something wrong?
[16:01] <travisthenavi> xangua: Yes, my current OS is so buggy that I can't even keep a browser open
[16:01] <travisthenavi> I'm on webchat freenode
[16:01] <travisthenavi> When it closes my broswer, I can't go back and read the steps
[16:01] <travisthenavi> So I never saw them in the first place
[16:02] <travisthenavi> xangua: Can you perhaps copy those steps for me so that I can put them into a txt file or something in case of another crash?
[16:04] <SupaYoshi> Hi
[16:04] <SupaYoshi> anyone here who can have me a hand with iptables?
[16:04] <SchrodingersScat> !ask | SupaYoshi
[16:04] <SupaYoshi> I followed this tutorial to route all traffic owned by a certain group over a tunnel.
[16:04] <SupaYoshi> Using this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/37412/how-can-i-ensure-transmission-traffic-uses-a-vpn
[16:05] <SupaYoshi> but now that group has no internet access at all
[16:05] <SupaYoshi> the tunnel is fine, but it doesnt work.
[16:05] <SupaYoshi> I did this command, sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --gid-owner vpnroute \! -o tun1 -j REJECT
[16:05] <SupaYoshi> but now that group has NO public IP and cant ping / whatever
[16:05] <skinux> This is weird....I mounted my Ubuntu partition and it doesn't seem to have a /bin directory
[16:06] <travisthenavi> Anyone?
[16:07] <bazhang> !details | travisthenavi
[16:09] <C368H> Hello there, what's the most Unity friendly Twitter client out there? Thank you
[16:09] <travisthenavi> bazhang: I need to know how exactly to create a live usb of Xubuntu LMS to install on my laptop as my primary OS. Currently I am running elementary OS, but it is super buggy and I can't even keep a web browser open for too long. I am very new to Linux, so please be detailed.
[16:09] <bazhang> apt-cache search twitter C368H
[16:10] <bazhang> C368H, try some out and decide
[16:10] <skinux> How in the world is it possible my installation is missing /bin?
[16:10] <bazhang> travisthenavi, LMS?
[16:10] <travisthenavi> Well, the most stable version of Xubuntu
[16:11] <travisthenavi> bazhang: I may have used the wrong word. As I just stated, I am very new to Linux.
[16:11] <bazhang> travisthenavi, you mean 14.04 LTS?
[16:11] <travisthenavi> bazhang: If that is the most stable Xubuntu, then yes
[16:12] <travisthenavi> I know 14.04 LTS is the current stable Ubuntu, but I don't know if there is a difference between that and Xubuntu versions.
[16:13] <travisthenavi> I have the .iso downloaded already, but I need to create a live usb. What program do I need to install to do such a task?
[16:13] <skinux> Can /bin from Live be copied to my partition or will that not work to fix it?
[16:13] <bazhang> travisthenavi, you realize that 16.o4 LTS is just  a few weeks away, right?
[16:13] <belse> i have some trouble with autofs and nfs /net mount. it seems it works sometimes and then it fails and with lookup.. anyone got any hints?
[16:14] <travisthenavi> bazhang: No I didn't.
[16:14]  * skinux wonders if anyone can even see his posts
[16:14] <travisthenavi> So I will have to upgrade. That is fine.
[16:14] <travisthenavi> As of now I just want an operating system that WORKS.
[16:14] <travisthenavi> Can you please help me? I can worry about upgrading later.
[16:15] <bazhang> travisthenavi, just to let you know
[16:15] <travisthenavi> I have stuff to get done.
[16:15] <bazhang> travisthenavi, where will this usb creation be done? sounds like elementary can scarcely run
[16:16] <SupaYoshi> How can I make iptables forward all traffic from one specific group over a specific interface?
[16:16] <travisthenavi> It runs, just has so many bugs that I can't even really browse the web for long before it closes up on me.
[16:16] <bazhang> try #netfilter SupaYoshi
[16:17] <travisthenavi> I'm going to use my elementary OS machine though, as that is all I have available.
[16:18] <bazhang> travisthenavi, so check what tools elementary has by default, then use them to create the usb
[16:18] <ducasse> travisthenavi: open a file manager, right click the .iso. Is "open with disk image writer" one of the options?
[16:18] <skinux> bazhang: Does UEFI Secure Boot have to be turned off for Ubuntu to install correctly?
