[00:00] <daftykins> owen1: do you see how the log files differ on line 129 in the second?
[00:01] <daftykins> owen1: i don't really follow your description of the events, but if it's playing up in i3 and not unity, i don't know what to say. i have practically zero experience with desktop use
[00:01] <wpd_> The ROS stuff has been around for a while, and I haven't had any problems with it.  This has just shown up since Installed some development tools from NVIDIA.  But I can't figure out what that installer did to me.
[00:01] <mongoose> Is anyone in here familiar with LilyPond?
[00:02] <daftykins> wpd_: grep each of those leading files for 'arm' (i.e. the .list )
[00:03] <wpd_> daftykins: None of them list arm.
[00:03] <wpd_> That's why I'm so confused :-)
[00:03] <daftykins> wpd_: nice... so this funky script you said you ran... what was it?
[00:03] <Bashing-om> wpd_: A side note, not a good thing to mix release repo's ; " gstreamer-developers-ppa-precise.list " might see if 'gsteamer' offers support for trusty .
[00:03] <wpd_> It was an installer from Nvidia for their embedded arm development board.
[00:04] <Finetundra> so, ubuntu doesn't see a whole Gigabyte of my ram. why?
[00:04] <wpd_> Hence the reason I blame them. :-)
[00:04] <daftykins> check said script to see what it did, then
[00:04] <daftykins> Finetundra: explain.
[00:05] <Finetundra> daftykins, i have 4 1024mb sticks of ram installed. ubuntu is only using 3
[00:05] <k1l> Finetundra: "free -m " in a pastebin please
[00:05] <k1l> Finetundra: and a "uname -a"
[00:05] <daftykins> Finetundra: heh, sure you just don't have 32-bit on ;)
[00:05] <daftykins> *don't just
[00:07] <owen1> daftykins: interesting. saving the log is going to help me troubleshoot this. thanks!
[00:07] <kolossen> hcitool -i dev Invalid device: No such device
[00:07] <daftykins> owen1: ^_^ np
[00:07] <kolossen> what does that mean?
[00:08] <daftykins> kolossen: lol, 'dev' is meant to be replaced with knowing your device name.
[00:08] <kolossen> that my own bluetooth is not working
[00:08] <Finetundra> here is the first: http://pastebin.com/jHDM2pCH       and the second: http://pastebin.com/y97iMZu9
[00:08] <daftykins> kolossen: man hcitool
[00:08] <kolossen> is it supposed to my my odnw?
[00:08] <daftykins> Finetundra: 32-bit kernel, no 4GB RAM for you, i think
[00:08] <owen1> I 'Override software rendering list' and 'Enable WebGL' in chrome://flags but http://get.webgl.org say I don't have WebGL support. I also tried running chrome with --disable-gpu-watchdog but it doesn't help. Firefox runs WebGL just fine. I have the same issue with chromium-browser package (39.0.2171.65 Ubuntu 14.10) and also with chrome (39.0.2171.71). Any ideas?
[00:09] <Finetundra> daftykins, could you explain?
[00:09] <daftykins> Finetundra: you're running a 32-bit kernel. you need to be running 64-bit.
[00:10] <Finetundra> well shit
[00:10] <daftykins> none of the language here thanks
[00:11] <Finetundra> daftykins, well that more or less explains it
[00:11] <VanceX> Finetundra: 32 bit will run a little leaner on your system anyways.
[00:11] <Elimin8er> Whats the best backup program to use to backup to external storage, Full system and home directory ?
[00:12] <k1l> Finetundra: 3.11?
[00:12] <Finetundra> k1l, what?
[00:12] <user1> need help with few things
[00:12] <daftykins> Finetundra: yeah a "cat /etc/issue" would be nice
[00:12] <EiriksHDD> hello, can someone help me, my ubuntu desktop has frozen, but I still have the capability to do some things, can someone give me some sort of kill command to force the thing to reset?
[00:12] <k1l> Finetundra: what ubuntu is that? is that a saucy install?
[00:12] <Finetundra> k1l, yes
[00:12] <daftykins> !saucy
[00:13] <daftykins> Finetundra: you shouldn't be using that.
[00:13] <k1l> Finetundra: that is vulnerable since its end of life. you need to upgrade
[00:13] <user1> on install of xbuntu i had error failed to install applications but to do it manually? what have i missed
[00:13] <viejotren> Hi, I need to copy all the content of an specific Directory from Ubuntu Box to Ubuntu Box, the source Box is in text mode, the amount of data is 2 GB, this process is possible using just cp command or should I use another command?
[00:14] <Finetundra> well, last time i upgraded to 14.04 it broke alot of things
[00:14] <Stmeter_> root@server8:~# mysql -v
[00:14] <Stmeter_> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[00:14] <Stmeter_> Any ideas?
[00:14] <k1l> Finetundra: upgrade are automated tested. so if you dont have lots of 3rd party stuff they will work just fine
[00:15] <Finetundra> k1l, define lots
[00:15] <daftykins> viejotren: well you cant to copy remotely right? you can tar the folder then scp it
[00:15] <daftykins> s/cant/want/
[00:15] <Bashing-om> EiriksHDD: Gracefull shutdown: try: alt+ZSysRg+ r+s+e+i+u+b .
[00:15] <k1l> Finetundra: there is no option to not upgrade
[00:16] <Finetundra> k1l, understood
[00:16] <k1l> Finetundra: either you install a LTS and stay there for 5 years or you have to upgrade all 6 months.
[00:17] <daftykins> Stmeter_: messing about as root isn't wise. is the daemon running? perhaps it isn't
[00:17] <k1l> Finetundra: and if you cant overview what 3rd party stuff you got installed :/
[00:17] <user1> why did i get failed to install applications on xbuntu and try them manually
[00:17] <Finetundra> k1l, what do you mean?
[00:17] <Stmeter_> daftykins: Just trying to debug. I'm aware of the risks of root. Once I run "service mysql start" it stays up and then crashes.
[00:17] <EiriksHDD> what is ZSysRg?
[00:17] <daftykins> Stmeter_: logs time then
[00:18] <daftykins> user1: i wasn't watching over your shoulder during install, you'll need to either reboot and see the message again or ignore it. likely it's just talking about language packs
[00:18] <viejotren> daftykins: I don't have enough free space to tar the entire directory, is there any other way?
[00:18] <Bashing-om> EiriksHDD: Sorry; typo - should be the SysRq key .
[00:18] <EiriksHDD> so like windows key?
[00:18] <daftykins> viejotren: yeah, recursively scp the directory.
[00:18] <kolossen> http://www.nj.com/hunterdon-county-democrat/index.ssf/2010/08/sisters_from_east_amwell_after.html
[00:18] <user1> on install said bout formatting the parition bit and just clicked continue
[00:19] <k1l> Finetundra: if you have that much 3rd party stuff that you dont know how much it is and what it does you should prbably try a clean install on 14.04
[00:19] <kolossen> opops
[00:19] <kolossen> hcitool scan
[00:19] <kolossen> Device is not available: No such device
[00:19] <kolossen> why?
[00:19] <Bashing-om> EiriksHDD: No, many times that key is also the print screen key .
[00:19] <daftykins> viejotren: "scp -r /path/to/folder user@host:/where/i/want/it/"
[00:19] <kolossen> is hcitool saying my bluetooth is not working?
[00:19] <wpd_> Any other suggestions for where to look for the source of these armhf PPA's?
[00:19] <viejotren> daftykins: i'll try it right now, thanks a lot
[00:19] <EiriksHDD> thank you for that bit Bashing-om
[00:20] <Bashing-om> EiriksHDD: Sorry forcausing the confusion. hold the alt and SysRq keys and slowly type rseiub .
[00:21] <Finetundra> k1l, thats not what i was questioning, i was just confused by your statement
[00:21] <kolossen> http://lpaste.net/115402
[00:21] <kolossen> hciconfig ^ is my bluetooth address 0?
[00:21] <daftykins> Finetundra: so to summarise, backup, install 64-bit 14.04 or 12.04.5 and happy times will be had
[00:21] <iggymydog> hi! im running an older version of ubuntu on a dell laptop and i cant get the wifi to work
[00:22] <Finetundra> daftykins, except that my processor is 32bit
[00:22] <iggymydog> can someone help me get my wifi to work?
[00:22] <daftykins> Finetundra: model?
[00:22] <daftykins> iggymydog: older as in...?
[00:22] <iggymydog> help?
[00:22] <Stmeter_> daftykins: May I PM the mysql error?
[00:22] <Finetundra> daftykins, Dell Dimension 4700
[00:22] <daftykins> Stmeter_: no
[00:22] <daftykins> Finetundra: that's not a processor model
[00:23] <iggymydog> daftykins 13. something
[00:23] <daftykins> iggymydog: sorry, EOL releases aren't supported here
[00:23] <daftykins> !eol
[00:23] <daftykins> iggymydog: clean install a supported release then we can assist
[00:23] <iggymydog> daftykins elo
[00:23] <iggymydog> ?
[00:23] <Stmeter_> daftykins: Here is a pastebin to my /var/log/mysql/error.log http://pastebin.com/gbBEVhsZ It continues this error every minute or so.
[00:23] <daftykins> iggymydog: show some damn patience
[00:23] <iggymydog> daftykins dam sorry.....
[00:24] <iggymydog> daftykins its late and ive had alot of coffie
[00:24] <Finetundra> daftykins, sorry, thought you meant my machine. processor is a Intel Pentium 4
[00:24] <daftykins> Stmeter_: i don't know anything about it really, beyond logging in and a few commands :P find a channel
[00:24] <Stmeter_> thanks for trying
[00:24] <daftykins> Finetundra: hmm you could try popping on a PAE kernel then. but i won't help you any further with an EOL release, sorry. you're not safe.
[00:25] <iggymydog> @daftykins my ubuntu isnt a touch screan?
[00:25] <daftykins> iggymydog: i'm going to walk away from my computer now, if you want to upgrade to a supported release in the meantime perhaps we can talk further.
[00:26] <iggymydog> daftykins: please explain
[00:26] <iggymydog> daftykins: im willing to do anything to get this dam comoputer to work
[00:26] <Finetundra> daftykins, ok, ok. i'm running the update. what's a PAE kernel and how is it different than what i already have
[00:26] <daftykins> iggymydog: i don't understand how i can be any clearer than "upgrade to a supported release" - only 12.04.5, 14.04 and 14.10 are supported right now.
[00:26] <iggymydog> daftykins: first off how to i find out my version
[00:26] <VanceX> iggymydog: Why then are you running such an old release?
[00:27] <daftykins> iggymydog: you just told me 13.x, did you forget already?
[00:27] <daftykins> !pae
[00:27] <daftykins> Finetundra: ^
[00:27] <bubbasaures> iggymydog, run 'lsb_release -a" for version without the '
[00:27] <daftykins> Finetundra: as i say, can't help you until you upgrade to a supported release.
[00:27] <iggymydog> VanceX: because i just got back from afganastan and i havnt touched the computer scense
[00:27] <Finetundra> daftykins,i'm running the update.
[00:28] <daftykins> Finetundra: 'the update' ?
[00:28] <iggymydog> VanceX: its been a while scense ive delt with linux and ive forgotten most the commands and what not and after 2 hours looking through forums of crap and fixxes ive had enough and came here expecting the problem should be rather simple
[00:28] <Finetundra> daftykins, upgrade. sorry
[00:29] <iggymydog> VanceX: can you try to offer me some sort of help?
[00:29] <k1l> daftykins: after the upgrade is done make sure to have "linux-generic" installed.
[00:29] <bubbasaures> iggymydog, Lets get you to a supported release 14.04 has 5 years support.
[00:29] <k1l> Finetundra:  after the upgrade is done make sure to have "linux-generic" installed.
[00:29] <k1l> daftykins: tabfail :)
[00:29] <Finetundra> k1l, how would i check that?
[00:30] <Bashing-om> iggymydog: It is simple, we need to know that you are on a current release, or get you upgraded . ^^ lsb_release -a will tell .
[00:30] <VanceX> iggymydog: Understood and I empathize yet, to must understand for questions to be answered here... You must be running something more current. You need to upgrade or do a fresh install.
[00:30] <k1l> Finetundra: install it with apt-get install
[00:30] <iggymydog> bubbasaures: thank you!!!!
[00:30] <Finetundra> k1l, gotcha
[00:30] <iggymydog> Bashing-om kk hold on
[00:31] <bubbasaures> iggymydog, Can you tell us what this shows in the terminal  lsb_release -a
[00:31] <iggymydog> 13.04
[00:31] <iggymydog> Bashing-om: im running 13.04
[00:32] <Bashing-om> iggymydog: UnGood ! .. long path to get you current, best bet is to do a clean fresh install of 14.04 .
[00:32] <bprompt> iggymydog:    ....  still the wifi should work
[00:32] <iggymydog> Bashing-om: thats going to take for ever to download....
[00:32] <iggymydog> Bashing-om: there must be a nother way
[00:32] <bprompt> iggymydog:  but can't hurt getting 14.04 lts
[00:33] <bubbasaures> iggymydog, Thanks, theoretically you can go to 13.10 than 14.04, however it takes time, or do a fresh install, what seems best for you? The update does have it's perils back up anything you need as alwyas.
[00:33] <iggymydog> nw tool came up with status dissconnected
[00:33] <Finetundra> iggymydog, even with the torrent download?
[00:33] <bprompt> iggymydog:    are you on dialup?   wondering on the download speed
[00:33] <iggymydog> evin the torrent
[00:33] <iggymydog> yes dial up
[00:33] <bprompt> I see
[00:34] <iggymydog> Bashing-om: i would like to go to 3.10 then 14.what ever lts
[00:34] <Bashing-om> iggymydog: There is another way ( it's linux, there is always other ways), but the band width and time is great ! EOL from 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04
[00:34] <iggymydog> bprompt: slow as hell i think 90 something kps
[00:34] <Bashing-om> !eol | iggymydog
[00:35] <bprompt> iggymydog:    hmm a 56.6 modem gives only about 5-7 kbs   btw
[00:35] <daftykins> iggymydog: best get started :)
[00:35] <iggymydog> Bashing-om: thats why i love linux theres always a nother way
[00:35] <daftykins> 5KB/sec - capital notation is important.
[00:35] <iggymydog> i dont have a 56 k modem
[00:35] <bprompt> iggymydog:    so you're on a dsl one?
[00:36] <iggymydog> oh wait.... nvm i am on dsl lol im steeling my nebors i didnt evin relize
[00:36] <bprompt> hehee
[00:36] <daftykins> there are laws against that in some countries
[00:36] <iggymydog> woops sorry guys
[00:36] <bprompt> iggymydog:     well the 14.04 is about 1gbs.... just do it when the neighbors are asleep =)
[00:36] <iggymydog> my neibor wouldnt care lol
[00:37] <daftykins> if they knew.
[00:37] <iggymydog> i could call him right now and tell him
[00:37] <SchrodingersScat> tell them this delightful story over a cup of tea
[00:37] <daftykins> perhaps whilst you wait for said download
[00:37] <iggymydog> he wouldnt care a bit
[00:37] <iggymydog> we grew up together
[00:38] <bprompt> iggymydog:     on a dsl modem.. about 90kbs you said....  so  that'd be about 4hrs I'd think
[00:38] <daftykins> ok not that i'm loving this life story, but this is a support channel. please tell us all about your neighbour in #ubuntu-offtopic but this place is for assistance only
[00:38] <daftykins> iggymydog: you know what to do, so get to it :)
[00:38] <kolossen> OMG how hard should it be to get bluetooth working. I understand NOTHING after 1 hour of research
[00:39] <kolossen> 1. how do I check that my own bluetooth is actually working properly?
[00:39] <iggymydog> daftykins: welll...cant there be a nother way
[00:39] <daftykins> iggymydog: no. download 14.04. install it.
[00:39] <iggymydog> daftykins: some sort of terminal sourcery or command line black magic
[00:39] <iggymydog> daftykins: ok :(
[00:39] <daftykins> backup first of course
[00:40] <daftykins> if you only have one machine
[00:40] <bprompt> iggymydog:    just make sure you get a say... download client and link, that supports "download resume", in case you need to reconnect and such, so you can just pick up where you left off
[00:40] <iggymydog> ubuntu has forsaken me!
[00:40] <iggymydog> i have u torrent im good
[00:40] <iggymydog> whats the official torrent link? so i dont get a virus?
[00:40] <Bashing-om> iggymydog: There is no "quicker" way . Save your personal files, download the 14.04 .iso, burn and install.\
[00:40] <bprompt> iggymydog:    well. on a 90kbs connection... I'd think it wouldn't take more than 5hrs
[00:41] <bprompt> since is 1gb for the 14.04 lts
[00:41] <iggymydog> link anyone? and thanks for your help everyone (that wasnt sarcasm) geese...it still sounds like sarcasm....
[00:42] <Bashing-om> iggymydog: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads .
[00:42] <iggymydog> <3
[00:56] <kolossen> isnt hcitool dev supposed to display your PC's bluetooth?
[00:58] <nagerst> It is so nice to be running lucid again. Gnome2 really shines. and with xorg1.7 and with kernel 3.11 it really shines.
[00:58] <nagerst> =D
[00:59] <acmeraptor> so who wants a challenge?
[00:59] <daftykins> !ask
[01:00] <Finetundra> acmeraptor, perhaps
[01:00] <daftykins> nagerst: i'm going to guess you're fishing to be told you're unsupported.
[01:00] <daftykins> !eol | nagerst
[01:01] <acmeraptor> well.. let's make sure I'm in the right room for this.. I want to send scans from my printer to a wdtvhub that is essentially a nas device
[01:01] <Finetundra> well, i'm no good for that
[01:01] <acmeraptor> the wd hub uses some linux variant.. this being ubuntu.. probably not the right place
[01:02] <k1l> acmeraptor: ##linux for general linux support
[01:03] <acmeraptor> thanks kll, i'll hop over there and see if something is possible.  i wish hp support was available on irc lol
[01:04] <kolossen> Noone here knows bluetooth?
[01:06] <Finetundra> kolossen, as far as i know it should show up somewhere in the ui by default. unless of course you don't have bluetooth. what model machine do you have?
[01:07] <kolossen> Finetundra, i had bluetooth on this comp when running windows
[01:07] <daniel__> irc.anonops.net
[01:07] <kolossen> then i installed ubuntu instead
[01:07] <kolossen> but no bluetooth from what i can see
[01:07] <kolossen> do i have to mount it or something?
[01:07] <macqi> drivers should create a /dev for it
[01:08] <acmeraptor> apoligies. tried to join ##linux but got a message that i couldn't send a message to the channel.  couldnt join #linux either as it was invite only
[01:08] <somsip> !register | acmeraptor
[01:08] <Finetundra> well, for me it was just there in a tray icon. probably either is disabled or doesn't have a driver to it
[01:09] <acmeraptor> !register | acmeraptor
[01:09] <acmeraptor> i see it. thank you @ubottu
[01:12] <dominic1134> why did ubuntu switch to rsyslog? in my opinion rsyslog is total crap, not well documented, and bugged
[01:14] <cida> Where can I get the link for all of ubuntu's drivers? I have a second computer that can't get use wifi or ethernet. I know how to fix it, but I just can't find the drivers  page :I
[01:18] <daftykins> dominic1134: you're welcome to ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic where discussion of such things is welcome, this is support.
[01:19] <dominic1134> daftykins, thanks
[01:35] <user1> hello i tried xbuntu in live mode and had 1024x768 res now ive installed it everythings massive
[01:35] <Finetundra> user1, check your drivers?
[01:36] <user1> ok how
[01:36] <mybox1776> Anyone know why I cannot join #centos from here? I found it in the list but I cannot seem t join - does nothing
[01:36] <daftykins> mybox1776: probably reg only, go ask in #freenode
[01:36] <genii> mybox1776: Might need to register your username first
[01:36] <genii> !register
[01:36] <mybox1776> Ok thanks!
[01:36] <user1> ive just had a new version notification appear do i install it
[01:37]  * genii feeds daftykins a fresh batch of cookies
[01:37] <Finetundra> user1, go to settings -> hardware-> additional drivers
[01:37] <daftykins> i dream of genii's cookies :D
[01:37] <Finetundra> user1, probably a good idea
[01:39] <Bashing-om> user1: " new version notification " consider carefully, is this version 14.04 -> 14.10 ? .. as 14.04 is LTS .
[01:39] <daftykins> user1: if you mean it's offering 14.10 if you installed 14.04, no - don't do it
[01:39] <user1> just look at additional drivers empty box
[01:39] <ahmer_> What is the difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu?
[01:39] <daftykins> one has unity, one has xfce
[01:39] <ahmer_> ty
[01:40] <user1> oh its doing something now
[01:41] <Finetundra> user1, like what?
[01:41] <user1> said new version ok it
[01:41] <Finetundra> what version?
[01:42] <daftykins> bad move.
[01:42] <Finetundra> e\
[01:42] <Finetundra> no dont ok it
[01:42] <user1> i did see 14.04 trusty tayr and 14.10
[01:43] <daftykins> i would abort that upgrade, user1 .
[01:44] <ReScO> http://www.linux.com/community/forums/drivers/nvidia-graphic-cards-850m-on-asus-n750jk-with-ubuntu-1410/20236 i'm having the same issue, dual gpu intel/nvidia gtx 850m, how can i enable usage of the 850m?
[01:45] <user1> whats up with the updates then
[01:45] <daftykins> user1: you're currently on an LTS release, (long term support). 14.10 is not LTS, thus inferior
[01:45] <daftykins> blindly upgrading release is not a way to solve problems
[01:45] <Finetundra> ReSc0, have you tried setting you primary graphics in the nvidia control panel
[01:46] <daftykins> Finetundra: it's a job for nvidia-prime, that's an optimus setup.
[01:46] <user1> support for 3 yr version

[01:46] <ReScO> daftykins: nvidia-prime doesn't work out of the box
[01:46] <daftykins> ReScO: i know, you have to set it up.
[01:47] <ReScO> when i install it, i get the login screen but after that, nothing
[01:47] <user1> so how do i know whats a lts update or the short version
[01:47] <ReScO> had to reinstall twice
[01:47] <daftykins> ReScO: also, likely no ubuntu included driver supports the 850m yet - so you probably have to use a newer one.
[01:47] <Finetundra> user1, you just have to check the ubuntu releases to see what is and isn't
[01:47] <ReScO> daftykins: do you have a proper tutorial i can follow?
[01:47] <daftykins> user1: sorry i don't understand that.
[01:47] <daftykins> ReScO: no
[01:48] <ReScO> daftykins: he means how he can find out if he's on LTS or not
[01:48] <user1> yeah when u recieive a update notification
[01:48] <ReScO> you don't
[01:49] <daftykins> ReScO: no, doesn't make much sense since user1 just installed
[01:49] <daftykins> pretty sure you would know what version you just installed
[01:49] <Finetundra> user1, if its just a update for general stuff then it will say update. if it is to a newer release it will say upgrade
[01:50] <Finetundra> least i think thats what you're asking
[01:50] <user1> is there a update for 14.04 lts
[01:50] <ReScO> sorry, really having some trouble with this 850m
[01:51] <daftykins> ReScO: yeah, probably too soon to use it under Linux or something. have a look what driver first added support for it.
[01:51] <pistdov> walking dead - midseason finale in 10min
[01:51] <genii> pistdov: Please quit spamming channels with that.
[01:51] <ReScO> daftykins: the nvidia driver supports it
[01:52] <ReScO> but it has a dual gpu setup (this laptop)
[01:52] <daftykins> ReScO: there are multiple versions. you don't understand
[01:52] <ReScO> daftykins: i figured that out already. :P
[01:53] <colifato> hi all ..
[01:53] <daftykins> ReScO: right, so i'm not sure that ubuntu packaged drivers support that model.
[01:53] <ReScO> can i build them myself?
[01:53] <daftykins> you don't 'build' drivers.
[01:53] <user1> where can u find drivers for res
[01:54] <ReScO> daftykins: so i'm stuck with my CPU's GPU?
[01:54] <colifato> i have a problem with ubuntu server and fail2ban.. who can help me?  --- tengo un problema con ubuntu server y fail2ban .. quien podria ayudarme?
[01:54] <ReScO> colifato: what's the problem?
[01:55] <colifato> 4 example: Nov 30 22:40:43 server1 postfix/smtpd[5373]: message repeated 10 times: [ warning: 115-64-243-173.static.tpgi.com.au[<IP_ADDRESS>]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure]
[01:55] <HerroWorlds>  does grep by default search hidden dir
[01:55] <daftykins> colifato: #ubuntu-server
[01:55] <colifato> ok thanxs
[01:55] <ReScO> stupid new laptop :P
[01:56] <somsip> colifato: check your SMTP login details in your default F2B action, check your SMTP server is running correctly
[01:57] <colifato> somsip: the server is running... smtp no problems.. fail2ban don't ban
[01:57] <somsip> colifato: the action script can't complete because SMTP is failing, so fix that problem
[01:59] <colifato> somsip do u say that i need to see mail.log ?
[01:59] <bleezy> how is everyone ?
[01:59] <Finetundra> how do you change the splash screen?
[02:00] <user1> how do i find out what that update did and what version im on
[02:00] <somsip> colifato: the actions F2B takes are defined in /etc/fail2ban/actions.d In your jail.local you will define which action you want to use. If that action sends an email whenever a ban is set, and that email cannot be sent because the SMTP auth details are not correctly set in the action, it may cause problems. Check your SMTP auth details in your actions
[02:00] <Finetundra> user1, open a terminal and do sudo apt-get install sysinfo
[02:00] <user1> thank u
[02:00] <Finetundra> user1, should tell you all you need to know
[02:01] <bleezy> how do i make my graphincs card stop wigging out
[02:01] <somsip> colifato: also check in /var/log/fail2ban.log for anything that might be reveal\ling
[02:02] <Finetundra> user1, i'm here should you need help with that
[02:02] <user1> ive typed it its gone straight over my head
[02:02] <bleezy> Finetundra, know anything about graphics cards
[02:02] <Finetundra> user1, have you opened it?
[02:03] <colifato> fail2ban.log is quiet, died..
[02:03] <Finetundra> bleezy, not too much, but i'll try
[02:03] <user1> loads of numbers and stuff
[02:03] <Finetundra> user1, is the program open, yes or no?
[02:03] <bleezy> Finetundra, thanks but no thanks
[02:03] <user1> yeah mate
[02:03] <bleezy> I need real help
[02:04] <tracyone> How to enable FIPS compliance for wifi connect in ubuntu 14.04
[02:04] <Finetundra> user1, click on system
[02:04] <bleezy> anyone avaliable for a little help ?
[02:04] <Finetundra> user1, what you're looking for is release
[02:05] <somsip> colifato: so what's your real problem? No bans, or no emails?
[02:05] <user1> what version ive got coz it updated and everyone went no
[02:05] <user1> is it 14.04 or 14.10
[02:05] <colifato> no bans
[02:05] <Finetundra> user1, should be 14.04
[02:06] <user1> trying to find version where is it
[02:06] <bleezy> why are there so many people and no much help ?
[02:06] <somsip> !ask | bleezy
[02:06] <Finetundra> user1, give me a screenshot of the system section of sysinfo
[02:06] <colifato> ban ssh, ban apache, but not sasl
[02:07] <bleezy> my bad
[02:07] <somsip> colifato: so there are bans. If you're going to be vague, it'll be painful to help you. If you clearly state your problem, we may get it sorted quickly. Where did you get the sasl filter from?
[02:07] <bleezy> patience lol been here 2 days
[02:07] <ulkesh> user1: if you run cat /etc/lsb-release in a terminal you'll see what version you currently have installed (assuming this is what you're requesting)
[02:07] <somsip> bleezy: so you should know that we need details, not just requests for help.
[02:08] <amjam> Thanks for your help earlier guys, my girlfriend is currently using Ubuntu on her Dell Inspiron laptop now. :)
[02:08] <bleezy> somsip, well you up for the task
[02:08] <bleezy> somsip, ive posted all kind of stuff on here
[02:08] <somsip> bleezy: i don't know as you still haven't given details
[02:08] <Finetundra> ulkesh, thats what he's needing. completely forgot about that line
[02:08] <user1> yeah thats it
[02:08] <Finetundra> user1, so whats the number?
[02:09] <bleezy> someara, i have a geforce 6200 le . non of the drivers in additional driver work correctly. i was trying to update driver
[02:09] <user1> DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
[02:09] <user1> DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[02:09] <Finetundra> user1, ok, you're good
[02:10] <ulkesh> user1: you're up to date for the current LTS release then
[02:10] <user1> ok thank u
[02:10] <colifato> somsip : http://tny.cz/dbdb7fb5
[02:10] <Finetundra> no if you'll excuse me i'll be finishing my update
[02:10] <user1> next how can i get the res
[02:10] <colifato> these is mi sasl.conf
[02:10] <colifato> postfix-sasl.conf
[02:10] <colifato> sorry
[02:11] <ulkesh> user1: the "res"?  what specifically are you looking for?  easiest method of updating is:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (it will then show you all the packages the package manager sees needing updates)
[02:11] <bleezy> somsip,  i have a geforce 6200 le . none of the drivers in additional driver work correctly. i was trying to update driver
[02:11] <somsip> colifato: where did you get this? Does it work with fail2ban-regex (to test it)? Is it right for the version of F2B you are using as the format changed recently
[02:12] <somsip> bleezy: I use standard drivers with my nvidia and have never had a problem. I don't have any troubleshooting experience, so you need someone else to help you
[02:12] <user1> i run it in live mode got 1024x768 and installed xubuntu now 800x600 and everythings massive
[02:12] <colifato> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9323469/
[02:12] <colifato> now i copy the regex
[02:12] <bleezy> user1, i had that problem but worse
[02:12] <user1> no its 640x480 now
[02:12] <ulkesh> user1: most likely you're simply needing the proper graphics driver...what video card do you have?
[02:13] <LanDi> hey guys, I want to buy a GeForce GTX 750... there is one with a nice price here... but it's just 1GB.... will it be a problem ?
[02:13] <bleezy> user1, good luck ive been trying for 2 days solid
[02:13] <user1> ok here the hard part sis
[02:13] <somsip> LanDi: what will you use it for? Heavy demand games or just desktop use?
[02:13] <colifato> this is the regex
[02:13] <colifato> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9323470/
[02:13] <bleezy> i got stuck at 640x480 could do a thing
[02:14] <user1> i run xbuntu in live mode got good res 1024x768 and now installed 640x480
[02:14] <LanDi> somsip: both, I love games but not very heavy ones
[02:14] <bleezy> user its a driver issue
[02:14] <somsip> colifato: and is your jail for sasl set up correctly?
[02:14] <Bashing-om> user1: Is your graphics chip set "SIS" ? There are known problems with that chip set.
[02:14] <HerroWorlds> wtf i rthink someone is trying to hack my server?!?!
[02:15] <somsip> LanDi: you may need to be directed by the min spec of the games you want to play then
[02:15] <Finetundra> user1, you aren't on a vm by chance are you?
[02:15] <ulkesh> user1: it's possible the live cd had some kernel options or other drivers running that helped and upon install those did not get loaded...what video card do you have?  you can see all your hardware using the command lspci
[02:15] <LanDi> somsip: ok
[02:15] <user1> a what finetundra
[02:15] <Finetundra> virtual machine, user1
[02:15] <HerroWorlds> what does this do?!
[02:15] <HerroWorlds> http://pastebin.com/SC5LydRJ
[02:15] <user1> nah fine
[02:15] <HerroWorlds> and how do i tell if it broke something
[02:16] <Finetundra> just making sure
[02:16] <user1> vid card sis, worked great on live mode
[02:16] <colifato> somsip: these is that i don't know :D
[02:16] <bleezy> i have a nvidia card still suck
[02:17] <somsip> HerroWorlds: someone is trying to get a page on your site. If you have an external IP this will happen. Bots will hit admin pages and possible backdoors looking for a vulnerability
[02:17] <somsip> colifato: paste it
[02:17] <HerroWorlds> somsip: it is not a website though, it is a server script
[02:18] <somsip> HerroWorlds: you just pasteed an HTTP request.
[02:18] <HerroWorlds> so that command was searching for all http pages on my site?
[02:18] <somsip> HerroWorlds: no, it's trying to GET /manager/html
[02:18] <bbryant> hey, I've got a problem switching to chromium as my default browser... chromium thinks it's my default browser, but external links are still launching into firefox
[02:18] <ulkesh> user1: potentially this may help (assuming it's the right site for the chipset)...I see an xorg driver (though I hope it's not out of date for your version of X):  http://w3.sis.com/download/download_step2.php?id=155961&country=USA&Image791.x=60&Image791.y=15
[02:18] <HerroWorlds> which should not exist because the directory does not exist on my server?
[02:18] <bbryant> why would that happen?
[02:19] <user1> i went back to xp earlier and res was super vga 1600x1200
[02:19] <bleezy> Nvidia driver install anyone have a clue ?
[02:19] <bbryant> bleezy: yea, i'm sure many people are experienced with that
[02:19] <bbryant> can you flesh out a more detailed question?
[02:19] <somsip> HerroWorlds: if it doesn't exist, then the request will get nothing back. Maybe a 404 error if an HTTP server is running on that port
[02:19] <ulkesh> user1: it's certainly a driver issue and i'm not familiar with that chipset enough to be of further help (my apologies)... i hope that link helps
[02:19] <colifato> this is my jail.conf
[02:19] <colifato> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9323517/
[02:19] <HerroWorlds> somsip: its a custom protocol
[02:20] <bleezy> bbryant, how do update my driver
[02:20] <Bashing-om> user1: Do: sudo lshw -C display l if it is " product: 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter ", then you are looking at installing Lubuntu and making up a Xorg.conf file.  ( unity = 3D amd that card does not support 3D ).
[02:20] <bbryant> bleezy: first, why do you want to do that?f
[02:20] <colifato> this my sasl.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9323521/
[02:20] <bubbasaures> bbryant, The settings app, details-default
[02:20] <somsip> colifato: you have a filter decalred, and a failregex. IIRC the failregex will override the filter. So you may want to remove that
[02:21] <user1> ok bash ill look give us a min not the quickest
[02:21] <colifato> where i need remove? in the jail.conf ?
[02:21] <bbryant> bubbasaures: you're awesome, thank you
[02:21] <ulkesh> user1: that's true, what Bashing-om says, it could also be an xorg conf issue (where you would potentially have to define the various resolutions/etc)
[02:21] <bbryant> I'll stick around to answer smoe questions to pay it forward
[02:21] <somsip> HerroWorlds: This is way off topic for this channel. It's not clear what your actual problem is, so I'm not sure i can comment more
[02:21] <bleezy> bbryant, i cant play a game and more important screen goes crazy when switching windows and alot more
[02:21] <somsip> colifato: in jail.local, under the [sasl] section, remove the failregex
[02:22] <HerroWorlds> somsip: sorry it was just something that popped up on my ubuntu server, i was not suure where else to ask
[02:23] <colifato> removed
[02:23] <colifato> restart fail2ban ... ok
[02:23] <colifato> now? regex?
[02:24] <user1> im on xbuntu
[02:25] <somsip> colifato: check if it works
[02:25] <colifato> how? waiting?
[02:25] <somsip> colifato: trigger a ban
[02:26] <colifato> how?
[02:26] <Bashing-om> user1: OK for xubuntu, what specific 'SIS' card (from lshw output) are you running ?
[02:26] <somsip> colifato: by taking action that causes the entry matched by the regex to be added to the log
[02:26] <bleezy> Help...
[02:27] <bleezy> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[02:27] <somsip> bleezy: use sudo
[02:27] <colifato> bleezy: use sudo

[02:27] <user1> 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter       vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS
[02:27] <bleezy> i did

[02:28] <bleezy> sudo apt-get install nvidia-current?
[02:28] <colifato> i wait one :D
[02:28] <zykotick9> bleezy: do you have synatic/software center/updater open?
[02:29] <bleezy> zykotick9, yes
[02:29] <zykotick9> bleezy: close them.  then try apt-get again.
[02:29] <Finetundra> so daftykins, what were you saying about a PAE kernel?
[02:29] <bleezy> zykotick9, thanks
[02:29] <daftykins> Finetundra: that i won't support your EOL release (:
[02:30] <Finetundra> i just finished the blasted upgrade! do you need proof?
[02:30] <bleezy> why are my screens taking so long to move hard to explain in context
[02:30] <bleezy> they move like im on an 16 meg pc

[02:32] <somsip> colifato: does it match the regex? Copy the log, delete everything but that one line, run it through fail2ban-regex
[02:32] <Finetundra> daftykins, i've upgraded
[02:32] <daftykins> Finetundra: so what's "uname -a" now?

[02:36] <Finetundra> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/QnRWw2tZ
[02:37] <user1> thanks bashing but u lost me aint got a clue
[02:37] <somsip> colifato: you tell me - you just pasted it
[02:37] <daftykins> Finetundra: try installing linux-generic-pae and booting into it.
[02:37] <Finetundra> user1, i think he' trying to say that you need to create a proper file there manually
[02:37] <Bashing-om> user1: Read the link I gave, and we take this matter back up . This may be a lenghtly process .
[02:38] <user1> i have been reading it but dont really follow it to u be easy i suppose
[02:38] <Finetundra> daftykins, how do i go about booting into it?
[02:39] <Finetundra> daftykins, do i just reboot?
[02:40] <pANDaretara> Goodmorning
[02:40] <Bashing-om> user1: Not a big problem. For the background see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215422 , as to why your SIS card does not work .
[02:40] <daftykins> Finetundra: are you not familiar with dealing with kernels?
[02:40] <Finetundra> daftykins, this would be the first time
[02:40] <daftykins> Finetundra: watch what installs, then you can hold left shift at boot time to get the GRUB menu and pick another kernel to be sure
[02:40] <bbryant> so I'm having troubel with things opening in firefox even though the setting in settings->details->defaults says chromium
[02:40] <bbryant> any idea why that would be the case?
[02:41] <bbryant> I'm lost
[02:41] <bbryant> I started this process by going to chrome's settings and setting it as the default browser
[02:41] <daftykins> bbryant: logged out and in again since?
[02:41] <bbryant> just restarted
[02:41] <bbryant> for good measure
[02:42] <daftykins> well that's all i've got.
[02:42] <bbryant> let's see what happens when I get rid of firefox
[02:42] <bbryant> I don't want it anyway
[02:43] <zykotick9> bbryant: from a terminal try "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" and confirm it's set to chromium, then do "sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser" and verify that is also set to chromium.  /me isn't a fan of chromium, and less a fan of chrome.  best of luck.
[02:44] <bbryant> there we go
[02:44] <bbryant> ok, I can try taht
[02:44] <bbryant> but uninstalling firefox seemd to fix it
[02:44] <basil1x> There's always Rekonq. ;)
[02:44] <daftykins> bbryant: not fix, avoid.
[02:45] <basil1x> or PaleMoon, or Midori
[02:45] <bbryant> zykotick9: I'll keep that approach in mind
[02:45] <bbryant> for whenever I install another browser
[02:45] <bbryant> and have the problem again
[02:45] <zykotick9> bbryant: ahhh, if you used apt-get to uninstall firefox, you may be in for problems down the road!  it probably breaks gnome/unity/whatever metapackages...
[02:45] <bbryant> seriously?
[02:45] <user1> thanks read it still dont understand it
[02:45] <bbryant> ok then time to reinstall!
[02:45] <Finetundra> daftykins, doesn't show the new kernel
[02:46] <daftykins> Finetundra: what did the installation put on?
[02:47] <Finetundra> daftykins, said that it put this one on: <IP_ADDRESS>.47
[02:47] <bbryant> zykotick9: ok, so I reinstalled it and verified that update-alternatives is correct for both x-www... and gnome-www...
[02:47] <bbryant> I think I should be set now
[02:47] <allen> hey folks, can i build a Ubuntu on a flashdrive using persistence and have it install everything i have installed on the stick as well?
[02:47] <daftykins> Finetundra: ls -al / boot in a pastebin please
[02:47] <daftykins> oops
[02:48] <daftykins> Finetundra: "ls -al /boot"
[02:48] <bbryant> any other complications with me removing firefox to worry about?
[02:48] <bbryant> I reinstalled it with this to be careful "sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox firefox-locale-en unity-scope-firefoxbookmarks xul-ext-webaccounts"
[02:49] <Finetundra> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/impfVrnd

[02:52] <daftykins> wondered why i had such deja vu 0o
[02:52] <daftykins> Finetundra: why is there evidence of an EFI install there?
[02:53] <Finetundra> daftykins, no clue.
[02:53]  * daftykins blinks
[02:54] <Finetundra> daftykins, in fact if i understand what EFI is, i don't even own a machine with EFI
[02:54] <Bashing-om> user1: All they are saying is that you will have to make up an appropriate '/etc/X11/Xorg.conf' ( there is another alternative that might work easier I am hunting for it mow ) .
[02:54] <daftykins> Finetundra: that's my point :)
[02:55] <user1> thanks alot bashing
[02:55] <daftykins> Finetundra: can i see a "cat /proc/cpuinfo"
[02:56] <Finetundra> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/yBtK0DzB
[02:59] <mjuszczak> When my nsswitch.conf has "sudoers: files sss", it doesn't work with sss, but when I switch to "sudoers: sss files", it works fine.  Any ideas?
[02:59] <daftykins> Finetundra: check out - http://askubuntu.com/questions/272873/what-is-the-maximum-amount-of-ram-that-ubuntu-32-bit-supports
[03:02] <Finetundra> daftykins, so what am i looking to get from there?
[03:02] <daftykins> i was hoping you'd gain an understanding of the situation
[03:03] <daftykins> Finetundra: if you could make up boot media with 14.04.1 32-bit and boot it to compare free -m, that'd be very handy.
[03:13] <Bashing-om> user1: Finally found it . see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/455888/low-resolution-on-lubuntu-14-04-sis ; See if that solution will work for you .
[03:14] <daftykins> removing the sis driver would've done the same thing
[03:14] <daftykins> !info sis trusty
[03:14] <daftykins> ugh
[03:14] <daftykins> !find sis trusty
[03:14] <daftykins> yip one o' them
[03:15] <user1> download a vesadriver how i install it
[03:16] <daftykins> user1: this isn't Windows, you don't download and install drivers in the same way
[03:17] <user1> windows is bit easier
[03:17] <daftykins> you wouldn't have a hope with SiS on Windows :)
[03:17] <daftykins> that's some mighty ancient hardware right there
[03:19] <Bashing-om> user1: I am only aware of the 2 solutions I have provided .
[03:20] <user1> ok bashing thanks for your help i appreciate it
[03:21] <lagbox> anyone know of a memory leak in xorg in 14.10 ?
[03:21] <user1> erm how do i create a file
[03:22] <user1> i have to create this /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/use-vesa.conf
[03:22] <Bashing-om> user1: NP, get comfortable here with the terminal and making up files. As you have questions, ask .
[03:22] <k2gremlin> mkfile ?
[03:23] <k2gremlin> Ok so somehow my server isnt working right anymore.... it can ping out to the world but it can ping a PC on my own LAN. What gives?
[03:23] <daftykins> k2gremlin: i think you typo'd a logic word in there somewhere :)
[03:24] <k2gremlin> daftykins, correct lol! It can ping out to world but CAN'T ping LAN lol
[03:24] <k2gremlin> more specifically just 1 PC it cant ping.. narrowing it down
[03:24] <k2gremlin> but it can't ping the PC I am using right now. So I know this PC has connectivity lol
[03:25] <daftykins> are you sure it responds to ping?
[03:25] <Bashing-om> user1: do: touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/use-vesa.conf l then open the file in the text editor , copy and paste what the link provides for content , save the file, reboot to see the effect. ( make sure /etc/X11/Xorg.conf does not exist as they will conflict ) .
[03:25] <k2gremlin> They are on the same network.
[03:25] <daftykins> what about pinging the router...
[03:25] <k2gremlin> Yes FROM this PC to the server I can ping. but from the server back to this PC it can't ping
[03:26] <k2gremlin> but server can ping other devices on the LAN and has reachability to the web
[03:26] <zykotick9> k2gremlin: and are you running a firewall on "this PC"?
[03:26] <k2gremlin> Yes but ICMP is allowed lol
[03:26] <k2gremlin> and it "was" working earlier today/yesterday
[03:26] <k2gremlin> going to reboot "this PC" daftykins
[03:27] <user1> cant find that usr shar x 11 xorg conf thing in there
[03:28] <k2gremlin> Im back, lets try this again
[03:29] <k2gremlin> Same crap. I just SSH'ed into the server... but the server still can't ping this PC and refuses to mount a cifs mount as well
[03:29] <Finetundra> daftykins, this is from the live boot: http://pastebin.com/eR8dms6s
[03:29] <Bashing-om> user1: OK, -> sudo apt-get install pastebinit , ls -al /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | pastebinit , results in a provided URL, pass that URL back here to the channel . Will show us the contents of that directory .
[03:30] <user1> upto the xorg.conf file there when i look into it no se vesa conf 1 thing
[03:31] <daftykins> Finetundra: still typing from there, or back on your install now?
[03:31] <Finetundra> still there
[03:31] <k2gremlin> im going to shoot this thing lol
[03:32] <w23rdst> Don't shoot it.
[03:32] <daftykins> Finetundra: i think it's game over then, your hardware is just too old... it's already running with a PAE kernel and reports fine, it just doesn't seem to echo in free -m.
[03:32] <Bashing-om> user1: Then you have not "touched" it .. can also make a new rile in the file manager and "save" it with the correct path (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d) and name (use-vesa.conf) . Whichever means you prefer to use .
[03:32] <w23rdst> Hi daftykins.
[03:32] <k2gremlin> w23rdst, Im botting up a test ubuntu server VM to see if it can ping this pc
[03:32] <k2gremlin> Welcome NegativeFlare
[03:32] <daftykins> Finetundra: assuming your BIOS reports 4GB but the free -m doesn't - i don't know what to suggest.
[03:32] <daftykins> w23rdst: er, do i know you?
[03:33] <w23rdst> daftykins, no. This is my 1st time.
[03:33] <daftykins> ah ok. if you're here for a question, ask away
[03:33] <Finetundra> daftykins, the bios does report 4gb and the max cap is 4gb. this is not normal i'm assuming
[03:34] <daftykins> Finetundra: thing is, i know where i could get a system of that age for free and... i don't even care :) they're that old and rubbish. i'd sooner bury it than use it :)
[03:34] <w23rdst> daftykins, this is my 1st time on IRC.
[03:35] <user1> i give up its to hard
[03:35] <daftykins> w23rdst: ok, well this is a support channel for ubuntu questions only. #ubuntu-offtopic is where you can join for chat
[03:35] <daftykins> user1: i have an alternative approach if you'd like.
[03:35] <w23rdst> How do I join that channel?
[03:35] <user1> lol chuck the laptop
[03:35] <Finetundra> daftykins, well, in that case, i think i'll just put up with it. may as well
[03:36] <user1> get new one
[03:36] <daftykins> user1: but i warn you, even if you got your screen resolution working, you're using a dinosaur
[03:36] <daftykins> w23rdst: type "/join #ubuntu-offtopic"
[03:36] <user1> i have my pc most stuff
[03:37] <daftykins> k2gremlin: all i see is a lot of "lol" this and "lol" that.
[03:37] <w23rdst> Do you know of any programming channels daftykins?
[03:37] <daftykins> !alis | w23rdst
[03:37] <k2gremlin> daftykins, I am able to ping now. Just need to fix the cifs mount
[03:38] <daftykins> k2gremlin: ok. that's easy
[03:38] <Bashing-om> user1: Faint heart never won fair operating system .
[03:38] <w23rdst> You are great, daftykins.
[03:38] <w23rdst> thanks dude.
[03:39] <w23rdst> !alis
[03:39] <w23rdst> !alis
[03:39] <daftykins> that's not how you do it.
[03:39] <daftykins> read the message.
[03:40] <w23rdst> clear
[03:40] <k2gremlin> daftykins, Ok second mount I uderstand why its not working ;) It's a truecrypt mount thats used to hide crap from kids :)
[03:40] <w23rdst> !clear
[03:41] <daftykins> oh truecrypt, the no-longer-safe encryption prog
[03:41] <k2gremlin> Pretty much... lol
[03:41] <k2gremlin> Secure enough for a 10 and 11 year old
[03:41] <w23rdst> !alist
[03:42] <w23rdst> !alis
[03:42] <user1> very hard on here
[03:43] <w23rdst> Agree. I can't figure out how to use !alis
[03:43] <k2gremlin> daftykins, Is there any sufficent replacement for encrypting like Truecrypt did?
[03:43] <daftykins> w23rdst: type "/join #freenode" and go ask them please.
[03:43] <somsip> w23rdst:  Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http*
[03:44] <w23rdst> -alis- Returning maximum of 60 channel names matching '#program'
[03:44] <w23rdst> -alis- #Program                                             1
[03:44] <w23rdst> -alis- End of output
[03:44] <user1> been trying create that vesa file for ages
[03:44] <w23rdst> This is strange.
[03:45] <daftykins> w23rdst: please go and ask in #freenode for more.
[03:45] <w23rdst> how do I join #freenode?
[03:46] <daftykins> user1: alright so what've you done?
[03:46] <daftykins> w23rdst: i already told you.
[03:46] <w23rdst> !join #freenode
[03:46] <w23rdst> I forgot.
[03:46] <daftykins> read up
[03:46] <rick_> Hi all, I am wondering why the status of /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier not reflect the status quickly after ifconfig eth0 up
[03:46] <user1> im trying to do what bashing linked me
[03:46] <rick_> it takes about two second to get correct result.
[03:46] <user1> i have to create this file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/use-vesa.con
[03:46] <Bashing-om> user1: I failed to instruct you properly, try : sudo touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/use-vesa.conf , must have the elevated privileges of 'sudo' .
[03:48] <w23rdst> I am in #freenode.
[03:48] <guzti> Ahh finally I find this GREAT channel again
[03:48] <daftykins> uh-oh.
[03:49] <w23rdst> what do you mean, guzti?
[03:49] <user1> thanks bashing its put it there
[03:49] <user1> now says add  content
[03:50] <guzti> w23rdst: some while ago I had BIG problems with my ubuntu server machine and "someone", I unfortunately don't remember the nick helped me get it fixed in under 20 minutes.
[03:50] <daftykins> guzti: sooo, what've you broken today? :)
[03:50] <w23rdst> It was probably me, guzti.
[03:50] <guzti> Well! As incredible as it is.. nothing :D
[03:50] <w23rdst> I kind of remember your name.
[03:50] <daftykins> ah, so you're not here for a support question then.
[03:51] <Bashing-om> user1: Making progress . copy and past into the file, from text editor, the contents of the askubuntu link , save the file . check that Xorg.conf does not exist, save '/use-vesa.con' file, reboot .
[03:51] <Bashing-om> paste*
[03:51] <guzti> Well, I was really going to ask you for your opinion on hardware for making my second server.. In finding the fest "fitting to gether" hardware... there I go BLANK
[03:52] <daftykins> guzti: /join ##hardware
[03:52] <guzti> And not that I haven't read thousands of pages about it..
[03:52] <user1> http://askubuntu.com/questions/455888/low-resolution-on-lubuntu-14-04-sis
[03:52] <user1> thats what i trying to do
[03:52] <daftykins> user1: *we* don't need that link :)
[03:54] <w23rdst> daftykins, can I add you to my friend list?
[03:54] <guzti> TThank's for the redirection daftykins!
[03:54] <w23rdst> guzti, daftykins is a great guy.
[03:55] <guzti> 'You're both such sweet little guys!
[03:55] <w23rdst> You are a good friend, daftykins.
[03:56] <basil1x> Hippies
[03:58] <w23rdst> daftykins, are you still here, dude?
[03:59] <user1> why have i got massive x thru root
[04:00] <guzti> [03:58am] <guzti> Ok. I'm just going to do as requested in topic: I really need advice about whe whole harware set for a powerful homeserver (running Ubuntu server). I have read probably 1500-2000 pages of recommendations for the various of diferent servers and I probably have some knowledge to do something on my own while deciding the harware.. but I simply don't trust too well in what I,
[04:00] <guzti> myself, believe would be best.
[04:00] <guzti> [03:58am] [N] Cannot send to channel
[04:00] <guzti> [03:58am] [N] Cannot send to channel
[04:00] <Bashing-om> user1: I do not understand that last, rephrase please, You have rebooted, and the resolution is very large ?
[04:01] <guzti> what's up with thaaat :o Was I getting it wrong how I should ask the question or where?
[04:01] <kandinsk1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9324605/
[04:01] <user1> not rebooted yet
[04:01] <kandinsk1> problem installing icedtea on utopic ^^
[04:02] <daftykins> guzti: this channel isn't support for other channels. was this #hardware or ##hardware ?
[04:02] <guzti> ##
[04:02] <hesco> Building an NFSv4 server, when I went to add an entry to /etc/exports, I found that it was a directory, when I was expecting a file.  Can anyone please provide a pointer to documentation on how I ought to adapt the usual config to account for this difference?
[04:03] <guzti> [04:03am] [N] #hardware Cannot join channel (+i) - you must be invited
[04:04] <guzti> This is my LUCKY day! I got to celebrate by fetching a ice cold beer from the fridge
[04:04] <daftykins> guzti: yeah, you used one #. it's _##hardware_
[04:04] <guzti> No, I was there
[04:05] <guzti> GAH am I getting crazy, losing my mind... or some portion of both
[04:05] <daftykins> guzti: yeah you need to register.
[04:06] <guzti> freenode uses too many features like this!  Thanks again... Well at IRCnet one will not help you but rather make fun of you
[04:08] <guzti> Probably a BIG minus
[04:09] <daftykins> guzti: i'm getting close to doing that too. please stop rambling
[04:10] <guzti> rambling? I'm not following, but I shall leave before you do that.. I rather want to remember your helpfulness!
[04:21] <MM[TexasTech]> Travis
[04:21] <MM[TexasTech]> Are you here?
[04:22] <w23rdst> You are a good friend, daftykins.
[04:22] <w23rdst> Travis just left.
[04:23] <MM[TexasTech]> you know travis?
[04:24] <w23rdst> Yes, I know him.
[04:24] <w23rdst> He was just in here.
[04:26] <ses1984> how would i go about looking up which versions of proprietary graphics card drivers are (kind of) supported by ubuntu
[04:27] <ses1984> for example i have a couple spare graphics cards that could go into a system and the choice of which to use depends on which version of the graphics drivers ubuntu will install by default through the gui
[04:27] <daftykins> !nvidia | ses1984
[04:28] <daftykins> there's a link there which will tell you what packages are on 14.04
[04:29] <basil1x> Matrox were the best.  Are they still around?
[04:29] <daftykins> not in 10+ years
[04:29] <basil1x> Pity.
[04:29] <daftykins> sorry, 12 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrox_Parhelia
[04:30] <daftykins> that was the last thing i remember them making
[04:30] <daftykins> no, the only thing they ever did was multihead output
[04:30] <daftykins> beyond that they weren't even a horse in the race
[04:32] <basil1x> Seems they're still around: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/graphics_cards/c-series/
[04:33] <daftykins> ah
[04:33] <daftykins> you'd probably find them doing kit for people that deal with stocks and shares and all that - they always seem to have tonnes of screens
[04:34] <basil1x> Likely.  I did like them when I had Win98, though.
[04:38] <bbryant> I'm having trouble getting netflix to work on a new installation of 14.04 with chromium as the browser
[04:38] <bbryant> any ideas?
[04:39] <bbryant> netflix gives me error code M7357-1003
[04:39] <ses1984> i think only google chrome is supported, not chromium
[04:39] <bbryant> I can't find chrome in the repos
[04:39] <bbryant> I looked
[04:39] <ses1984> it's not in there, have to download it from google
[04:39] <bbryant> seriously?
[04:39] <bbryant> sigh
[04:40] <Ben64> add the google repository, it is not difficult
[04:40] <daftykins> bbryant: yep, binary blob DRM used, non-chromium i think.
[04:40] <bbryant> ok thanks
[04:40] <bbryant> yea, I found it
[04:44] <bbryant> netflix works now
[04:44] <bbryant> thanks again
[04:51] <aperture_> Question: I've successfully sent a command to /dev/ttyUSB0 using screen on ubuntu, but how can I echo to that?
[04:51] <aperture_> I tried echo e "#0 P750 \n" > /dev/ttyUSB0 , but it was ignored...
[04:51] <aperture_> *echo -e
[04:53] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[04:54] <daftykins> lotuspsychje: \o welcome back
[04:54] <josePHPagoda> g'morning
[04:54] <nono_> morning
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> daftykins: tnx
[04:54] <josePHPagoda> anyone know how to make my touchscreen in ubuntu 14.04 send actual mouse click events?
[04:54] <Borys> morning
[04:55] <lotuspsychje> josePHPagoda: what kind of device do you have?
[04:55] <josePHPagoda> it works just fine, but some of my older games dont get a mouseclick event
[04:55] <josePHPagoda> it's a fairly new lenovo all in one
[04:55] <josePHPagoda> it's built into the a720
[04:55] <josePHPagoda> :)
[04:56] <Borys> Hi. Which software I should use on remote vps to broadcast rtp audio over internet from my local pc to few mobile devices on android/ios? I need it for my Fire Departament. I know that I can do it with Unreal Media server, but its windows-only.
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> josePHPagoda: maybe its game itself, instead of the touch recognizing
[04:56] <josePHPagoda> it is
[04:56] <josePHPagoda> which is why I was hoping there was a way that it could be configured to just send mouse click events
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> josePHPagoda: wich game is this?
[04:57] <josePHPagoda> any game using sdl
[04:57] <noidea> How can I change the permissions of all directories within a directory and separately change permissions on all files within the same directory?
[04:57] <aperture_> oh, fixed. Was using "\n" instead of "\r" for carriage return. :/
[04:57] <josePHPagoda> including one I am writing
[04:57] <josePHPagoda> so it's not old games per se
[04:57] <josePHPagoda> but most of my games I play are old
[04:57] <josePHPagoda> because I'm old
[04:57]  * josePHPagoda feels nostalgic now :P
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> josePHPagoda: well im not sure there's a package for that, but maybe the #ubuntu-touch guys know a way?
[04:58] <josePHPagoda> i didn't know that channel existed
[04:58] <daftykins> Borys: looked into subsonic.org ?
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> josePHPagoda: well thats for the touch version of ubuntu
[04:58] <Borys> No, I will now
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> josePHPagoda: not really your case but they might be able to help
[04:58] <josePHPagoda> i hope they can :)
[05:00] <lotuspsychje> josePHPagoda: also search apt-cache search touch , some packages show up
[05:00] <bbryant> Borys: is RTP audio a part of a SIP call ?
[05:01] <daftykins> bbryant: they both end in protocol, which means they're entirely different things
[05:01] <josePHPagoda> lotuspsychje: i looked through most of those, nothing really useful unfortunately
[05:01] <lotuspsychje> josePHPagoda: bummer :p
[05:02] <Borys> bbryant: no, I have a radio transceiver plug into line in on my local, and I need to broadcast it for mobile devices. Now I use icecast/darkice but I need something in real time, or about 2s delay, now I get 5-10s delay with icecast
[05:02] <bbryant> daftykins: they are, but SIP is just a signaling protocol which transmits the audio/video of a call through RTP
[05:02] <bbryant> they are related
[05:03] <bbryant> and knowing which would help me to recommend different software
[05:03] <daftykins> bbryant: that's true i guess anything can be a session really.
[05:03] <daftykins> Borys: are you trying to make some cheap alternative to having radios for a fire brigade crew? :P
[05:03] <Borys> So I think about rtp but I dont know which software I can use for it. I think I can encode audio from line in with ffmpeg, and transmit it to vps with high UL bandwith, and connect from mobile to vps to hear my transceiver
[05:04] <Borys> exatly :)
[05:04] <daftykins> why?
[05:04] <bbryant> those things really need to be reliable
[05:04] <daftykins> ^
[05:04] <bbryant> do you think something you hack together will be?
[05:04] <daftykins> first thing to go in an emergency: mobile phone reception
[05:04] <bbryant> no kidding
[05:05] <bbryant> rule 1 of war is go for the communications
[05:05] <basil1x> Last thing:  the 50-year-old Motorola pole speaker.
[05:06] <bbryant> so yea, I don't think this is a good idea
[05:06] <Borys> So how can I do it?
[05:07] <daftykins> you can't involve mobile phone data connections and communication hacks with emergency services
[05:07] <daftykins> that's just... quite frankly immoral
[05:07] <bbryant> yea, I refuse to help you do something like that
[05:07] <Borys> But it amateur fire departament
[05:08] <bbryant> real fires though
[05:08] <Borys> and I cant get everywhere my radio transceiver
[05:08] <daftykins> Borys: what's in place right now?
[05:08] <daftykins> surely the radio stays at the HQ
[05:09] <Borys> yup, but when fire comes, I get sms that I have to go to HQ
[05:09] <bbryant> and I assume you pick up a radio there
[05:09] <bbryant> right?
[05:09] <Borys> no
[05:09] <bbryant> so what do you do now
[05:09] <Borys> We have two FD - amateur and professional
[05:10] <Borys> Im amateur, so when proffessional need backup, they send us sms and run siren so I come to my ameteur HQ
[05:10] <Borys> dress up and go
[05:10] <Borys> I can listen to radio in HQ, or get it to home
[05:11] <bbryant> why aren't you given radios?
[05:11] <bbryant> I assume the professinoals have them
[05:11] <bbryant> right?
[05:11] <daftykins> i guess that's where the amateur part comes in
[05:11] <daftykins> more volunteering
[05:11] <Borys> yes
[05:11] <Borys> sorry, my english is little poor
[05:11] <bbryant> your english seems fine
[05:12] <bbryant> I didn't notice a problem
[05:12] <Borys> so with broadcasting radio by net, I can listen to my channel and know what going up before professionals run up siren
[05:13] <Borys> So when I hear that something is going up in my area I can go to my HQ and be ready when siren run
[05:13] <Borys> So I can save some much time
[05:14] <daftykins> i think that would be jumping the gun on the decision of the professionals to involve your crew
[05:15] <Borys> anyway, I do it now with icecast and its working, one think I want its less delay
[05:15] <Borys> so, could you help me with this, guys?
[05:16] <bbryant> ok, so why do you think you can reduce delay with a new solution?
[05:16] <bbryant> what is being done inefficiently now, in your mind?
[05:18] <Borys> buffer of client - mobile device I think, but I think that when I use rtp instead icecast I can get near real-time audio
[05:21] <yesyes> does anyone know how i can turn my fn lock of on my macbook ubuntu mutnatn
[05:21] <yesyes> mutant*
[05:23] <cyphase> anyone know why i'd be getting the error "Unhandled error message: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" when trying to connect to an sftp server in nautilus on 14.04?
[05:27] <Borys> I think I can use ffmpeg to encode audio and push it to vps with rtsp, but what I should install on vps with ubuntu to broadcast it for mobile?
[05:27] <basil1x> ffmpeg has disappeared, or haven't you noticed?
[05:27] <daftykins> basil1x: that's a very unfriendly way to word something.
[05:28] <basil1x> Sorry.  it was a very shocking thing to find out, I can tell you.
[05:30] <michaelgamble> hey
[05:30] <michaelgamble> how do i get an external ext4 drive to boot mount instead
[05:31] <michaelgamble> right now i get an error when i try to do it in ubuntus ui app disks
[05:31] <Borys> basil1x: whatover, vlc also can encode it and push to vps, question still is "what software use on vps to receive rt stream and broadcast as mp3/ogg, so I can listen it on android/ios mobile"
[05:32] <basil1x> IDJC, probably.
[05:32] <basil1x> Though I've never attempted that.
[05:34] <daftykins> michaelgamble: "boot mount" ?
[05:56] <tkesler> Could use some help with my laptop screen flickering.   can't find a solution
[05:58] <michaelgamble> ive run into the same issue
[05:58] <michaelgamble> the screen is flickering entirely? or your mouse is
[05:58] <tkesler> whole screen
[05:59] <michaelgamble> ah ok, didnt have that problem
[05:59] <tkesler> only when xorg starts tho
[05:59] <tkesler> if i bail into recovery it doesn't flicker
[06:02] <jot_kaur> join ##parsers
[06:03] <tkesler> this is frustrating
[06:06] <yesyes> it seems my macbook is on fn lock how do i stop that
[06:07] <aeon-ltd> tkesler: have you tried switching gpu drivers?
[06:08] <tkesler> not sure exactly how to change it
[06:09] <yesyes> software and update
[06:09] <yesyes> and go into drivers
[06:09] <yesyes> :D
[06:09] <aeon-ltd> tkesler: uninstalling, then installing different or downgaded vers.
[06:10] <tkesler> no additional drivers available
[06:10] <aeon-ltd> tkesler: intel?
[06:10] <germanolins> hello
[06:12] <aeon-ltd> tkesler: the problem could be Xorg, when did this occur?
[06:16] <huifu> whtat
[06:17] <tkesler> aeon-ltd: for a while now.  i've upgraded to 14.10 and a new kernel.  same issue
[06:19] <IronY> dear #ubuntu, do you have google inbox invites
[06:23] <heath_> hello
[06:23] <cadmium_> hello
[06:23] <thesadpanda> Hi.
[06:23] <heath_> this brings me back
[06:24] <thesadpanda> How many people usually use this program?
[06:24] <heath_> first time me
[06:24] <cadmium_> what program? :)
[06:24] <aeon-ltd> tkesler: are you using unity or compiz? not using 3d rendering might help
[06:24] <heath_> 'unity
[06:24] <murlidhar> i want to fresh install my distro and want to back my terminal preferences ? how do i do that ?
[06:24] <cadmium_> is there a way to resize /boot while using the computeR?
[06:24] <murlidhar> backup*
[06:25] <heath_> whait what do you mean
[06:25] <murlidhar> i mean how to backup the terminal preferences ?
[06:25] <heath_> off load your terminal app on to a thumbstick
[06:26] <murlidhar> heath_: me ?
[06:26] <heath_> yeah
[06:26] <murlidhar> well how to do i do that ?
[06:26] <tkesler> aeon-ltd: unity
[06:26] <aeon-ltd> murlidhar: it could be stored in dot folders, also .bashrc and .Xdefaults
[06:27] <heath_> make a copy of your terminal
[06:27] <tkesler> aeon-ltd: worked fine if slow.  but newer kernels...
[06:27] <murlidhar>  aeon-ltd all the terminal preferences like profiles and stuff are backedup in .bashrc ? i guess not.
[06:28] <aeon-ltd> tkesler: if you have another DE or WM installed you could log out and try them see if it helps
[06:28] <aeon-ltd> murlidhar: look in dot folders or in /etc/ if they're global preferences
[06:29] <murlidhar> aeon-ltd: not global preferences . i just want the user settings backed up.
[06:30] <dharmit> murlidhar: ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/ (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=793500)
[06:30] <aeon-ltd> murlidhar: h
[06:31] <aeon-ltd> ^dot folders like i said, third time dude
[06:31] <murlidhar> aeon-ltd: ah okies. u meant the hidden folders ?
[06:31] <aeon-ltd> yes
[06:31] <murlidhar> i was confused. thanks
[06:31] <aeon-ltd> dot = .
[06:32] <murlidhar> ya now i get it . silly me. lol
[06:32] <murlidhar> ty dharmit
[06:32] <tkesler> aeon-ltd: i'll try thanks...gotta go...night!
[06:32] <aeon-ltd> ok
[06:32] <aeon-ltd> noct
[06:39] <a___> whoami
[06:44] <murlidhar> can anyone confirm if unity dodge window feature is working in the 14.10 ?
[06:44] <murlidhar> i won't be able to upgrade if it doesn't support the dodge feature.
[06:55] <murlidhar> is there any other way where i can hide unity launcher only when an app is maximised ?
[06:57] <bbryant> ok, so I've got another problem
[06:57] <bbryant> the google-chrome-stable launcher doesn't work
[06:57] <bbryant> and I don't know why
[06:57] <bbryant> I can launch it from the terminal just fine
[07:01] <bbryant> sigh
[07:01] <bbryant> I haven't used ubuntu in a year and it seems worse off now than it ever has been before
[07:16] <miandonmenmian> I have in my echo $PATH --> /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin   however, my bins on /usr/bin are not found. How can i fix my env ?
[07:17] <bbryant> miandonmenmian: type "which your_binary"
[07:17] <bbryant> does it show up?
[07:17] <bbryant> it might be a permissions problem
[07:17] <bbryant> do your binaries have +x ?
[07:18] <speed_> hi
[07:32] <Sexbot> Any sex apps for ubuntu ?
[07:32] <bbryant> uh
[07:32] <bbryant> seriously?
[07:32] <Sexbot> Ah
[07:33] <Sexbot> Ah
[07:33] <Sexbot> Yes
[07:33] <bbryant> what would you call a sex app?
[07:33] <klew> there's one called blue waffle something, ask google for it
[07:33] <somsip> !o4o
[07:33] <bbryant> oh yea, that one is fun
[07:33] <bbryant> love me some blue waffle
[07:34] <bbryant> !CodeOfConduct
[07:35] <Sexbot> Ok ok
[07:37] <miandonmenmian> bbryant: which shows my app, ls -all shows something interesting lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            19 Oct 14 13:33 which -> /bin/busybox.nosuid
[07:37] <miandonmenmian> that is the ->
[07:37] <miandonmenmian> is that a link ?
[07:37] <bbryant> miandonmenmian: one second
[07:38] <bbryant> symbolic or hard link
[07:38] <bbryant> probably symbolic
[07:38] <bbryant> so if which shows your app
[07:38] <bbryant> then it's detected inyour path
[07:38] <bbryant> the only other problem could be that it doesn't have the executable flag set on the binary itself
[07:38] <bbryant> check taht
[07:38] <miandonmenmian> -sh: /bin/myapp: not found
[07:38] <miandonmenmian> path i guess is right
[07:39] <miandonmenmian> ls -all is showing lrwxrwxrwx
[07:39] <bbryant> didn't you say it was in /usr/bin
[07:39] <bbryant> why are you trying /bin ?
[07:39] <miandonmenmian> isnt that the executable flag?
[07:39] <bbryant> you seemed ot be looking at a symbolic link there
[07:39] <bbryant> which isn't relevant at all
[07:40] <Ilhami> mouse doesnt work on Ubuntu VM
[07:40] <Ilhami> it doesnt display at all
[07:41] <miandonmenmian> bbryant: I'm not trying bin, /usr/bin is added on path, i dont know why is trying /bin
[07:41] <bbryant> miandonmenmian: I'll be right back, I have to run an errand real which\
[07:41] <bbryant> give me 10-15min
[07:41] <miandonmenmian> ok
[07:41] <bbryant> and if someone else hasn't solved your problem by then
[07:41] <bbryant> i'll be back to help
[07:41] <bbryant> I assure you this is something that can be solved pretty quickly
[07:41] <bbryant> so don't fret
[07:41] <Ilhami> bbryant, also solve mine :D
[07:42] <Ben64> miandonmenmian: what issue do you have
[07:43] <ahmad> Just got problem install Ubuntu desktop via USB drive
[07:43] <ahmad> It's say errno 5 input/output error
[07:43] <miandonmenmian> Ben64: seems like bash is trying to run my app from another folder in my PATH, and is stuck there
[07:43] <ahmad> Anyone can help me?
[07:43] <miandonmenmian> wondering if is a link problem, but its linking to the right one
[07:44] <Ben64> miandonmenmian: what is the output of "ls -l /path/to/your/app"
[07:45] <Ben64> ahmad: sounds like a bad disk or usb or something along those lines
[07:45] <ikonia> or the usb bus is resetting its self a lot
[07:45] <miandonmenmian> lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             7 Oct 14 13:32 /usr/bin/myapp -> myapp-c
[07:45] <kotau> hey anyone have a link to wget java 7 or 8?
[07:46] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: you'll find it's linked against the wrong libraries
[07:46] <ikonia> (or missing libraries)
[07:46] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: why don't you give us the real example rather than "myapp"
[07:46] <Ben64> kotau: java is in the ubuntu repositories, if you'd like to use oracle java, you won't find much support for that here
[07:46] <kotau> having trouble getting to the download on my terminal server.
[07:49] <miandonmenmian> ikonia: the app itself is not a big deal. Was working fine an hour ago just before i played with PATH.
[07:49] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: the app is a big deal so we know what it expects, how it expects
[07:49] <miandonmenmian> after rebooting, no permanent PATH is set, the env seems to be messed up
[07:49] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: if its not a big deal - why don't you give us the real example and we can work it through
[07:50] <ahmad> Ben64: thanks, will try with another USB or cd
[07:52] <bbryant> miandonmenmian: yea, if you want the path to be modified each time your shell starts you have to manually make that happen
[07:52] <bbryant> modifying the variable in one session does not modify it for others
[07:53] <miandonmenmian> bbryant: what i was trying to do, is to add a /bin folder on my /home partition and add it to my PATH, not installing modules there, i know this is not good, just trying to get it this way
[07:54] <miandonmenmian> tried this: export PATH=/home/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/usr/bin:/opt/usr/sbin
[07:54] <miandonmenmian> on my /etc/profile
[07:54] <miandonmenmian> but did not work well
[07:54] <ikonia> so that will never work
[07:54] <ikonia> as your missing out the key system paths
[07:54] <bbryant> ^^^
[07:54] <miandonmenmian> what are the key system paths?
[07:54] <miandonmenmian>  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=   ?
[07:54] <bbryant> don't do it that way at all
[07:54] <bbryant> try this
[07:54] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: no
[07:54] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: this is why I'm asking for exact inforamtion
[07:54] <ikonia> rather than made up examples
[07:54] <bbryant> export PATH=/home/usr/bin:$PATH
[07:55] <ikonia> bbryant: that won't work
[07:55] <ikonia> his path is messed up
[07:55] <zykotick9> miandonmenmian: fyi, if you create ~/bin and log out and back in, by default (perhaps you've changed something?) it'll be in your PATH
[07:55] <ikonia> so it will just append a messed up path
[07:55] <bbryant> oh right
[07:55] <bbryant> he fucked it up
[07:55] <bbryant> you're right
[07:55] <ikonia> bbryant: tone down the language
[07:55] <bbryant> but if he had done that from the beginning....
[07:55] <ikonia> there is no need for it
[07:55] <bbryant> sorry, this is how I always talk on irc
[07:55] <ikonia> bbryant: please don't talk like that in this channel
[07:55] <bbryant> you don't have to repeat yourself
[07:55] <mdoge> yes, there maybe kids here
[07:56] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: log out and back in - then do as bbryant suggested with PATH=/home/user/bin:$PATH
[07:56] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: you'll probably find that works fine
[07:56] <Ben64> if ~/bin exists it is automagically added to PATH
[07:56] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: with reference to variables like ld_library_path, we'll need to know the apps
[07:57] <miandonmenmian> echo $PATH gives this /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
[07:57] <ikonia> Ben64: is that default in the ubuntu profile ?
[07:57] <Ben64> yep
[07:57] <ikonia> learn something new every day
[07:57] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: you're running ubuntu right ?
[07:57] <bbryant> oh that's cool Ben64
[07:57] <bbryant> i've always had to add that myself
[07:57] <bbryant> well, I also use ~/src/bin
[07:57] <bbryant> ~/src being all my development work
[07:58] <Ben64> ~/.profile:    # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists   \n   if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then  \n PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
[07:58] <miandonmenmian> what is the ld_library_path for?
[07:58] <bbryant> !codeofconduct
[07:58] <ikonia> very cool
[07:58] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: you're running ubuntu ?
[07:58] <miandonmenmian> ikonia: yes, but much has changed on my ubuntu haha
[07:58] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: what has changed ?
[07:58] <bbryant> ikonia: could you kindly point me to where the written rule is on language here?
[07:58] <miandonmenmian> not sure anymore
[07:59] <ikonia> !guidelines > bbryant
[07:59] <bbryant> thank you
[07:59] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: you know it's changed, but you don't know if it's changed ?
[07:59] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: I suggest logging out / back in (maybe a reboot) and just seeing if ~/bin is part of your path by default
[08:00] <miandonmenmian> ikonia: just wondering. #reset would not be same as log out?
[08:00] <bbryant> ikonia: the only reference I've found is when someone disagrees with an op not to use cursing
[08:00] <bbryant> I can't find a section relevant to me using it the way I did
[08:00] <miandonmenmian> i did rebooted several times, just to make sure, after changing PATH variables
[08:01] <ikonia> bbryant: just don't use bad langauge please.
[08:01] <bbryant> I'm just trying to be well read on the issue
[08:01] <bbryant> is this a request for me to follow the rules or just a personal request?
[08:01] <ikonia> right, so read the links and apply common sense
[08:01] <ikonia> bbryant: if you want to discuss it more please join #ubuntu-ops channel
[08:05] <bbryant> miandonmenmian: are you still having issues?
[08:05] <miandonmenmian> well, thanks a bunch. I'm getting a much better idea now
[08:05] <miandonmenmian> im still curious how ld_library_path works
[08:05] <miandonmenmian> i thought the binaries would be already linked, so not sure why need a library path
[08:05] <ikonia> miandonmenmian: you shouldn't need to worry about it
[08:06] <ikonia> but some minor things you do - hence why I keep asking you for specific real life problem, rather than made up examples
[08:09] <miandonmenmian> ikonia, i'm having issues with a couple of them, for instance vim
[08:09] <miandonmenmian> vi is found well, vim was not. now seems to be fixed
[08:10] <miandonmenmian> however, there is a problem with the link for one of the binary copies, just trying to figure out whats the problem
[08:10] <bbryant> ok, how are you modifying the path right now?
[08:10] <bbryant> could you show me that line of code?
[08:11] <miandonmenmian> -sh: /bin/vim: not found, which vim: /usr/bin/vim
[08:11] <miandonmenmian> however, if i do ./usr/bin/vim  no problem
[08:11] <EriC^^> sh?
[08:11] <bbryant> miandonmenmian: again, please show me how you're modifying path now please
[08:12] <miandonmenmian> EriC^^: this is the most confusing part
[08:12] <miandonmenmian> bbryant: not modified now. afaik. but i did tried with your suggestion, and works quite nice for other apps
[08:12] <bbryant> ok
[08:12] <bbryant> show me the content of $PATH
[08:12] <EriC^^> miandonmenmian: type echo $SHELL
[08:13] <miandonmenmian> echo $SHELL /bin/sh
[08:13] <EriC^^> sh doesn't use ~/.profile i think
[08:13] <bbryant> correct
[08:13] <EriC^^> :D
[08:13] <EriC^^> miandonmenmian: why are you using sh?
[08:14] <miandonmenmian> really?!
[08:14] <EriC^^> yeah
[08:14] <miandonmenmian> hah!
[08:14] <miandonmenmian> $PATH -sh: /home/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin: not found
[08:14] <EriC^^> chsh -s /bin/bash
[08:14] <miandonmenmian> home path still added :P
[08:14] <EriC^^> that will change it to bash
[08:15] <bbryant> assuming bash is installed
[08:16] <pippo> salve
[08:16] <pippo> !list
[08:16] <miandonmenmian> im getting bash
[08:16] <Ben64> if you have ubuntu, you already have bash
[08:16] <Ben64> if you don't have ubuntu, you shouldn't be asking support questions here
[08:17] <miandonmenmian> had bash
[08:20] <PoNuts> godmorning
[08:21] <PoNuts> How to send a command to muiltiple linux servers (bash)
[08:22] <cfhowlett> PoNuts, ask in ##linux
[08:22] <PoNuts> Darn.. I'm trying to loggin get my nick OK:ed there.. ;)
[08:24] <Seveas> PoNuts: salt, pconsole, taktuk, capistrano...
[08:24] <PoNuts> Thx. I investigate..
[08:26] <miandonmenmian> well, nightmare is fixed with bash.. again thanks a bunch
[08:28] <ash`> PoNuts: you can use ssh?  For example: ssh user@server 'command' - see man ssh for an example.
[08:29] <Pluk> Hello, I am having some difficulty logging into Ubuntu after upgrading from Ubuntu 12 to Ubuntu 14, on a UEFI system. Is anyone here willing and able to help me? I have my pastecode from Boot Repair, it shows a lot of errors.
[08:29] <ash`> If you need it to run in the background, one way is to press CTRL + Z which will suspend the process and then run "bg" a command - this will run it in the background :)
[08:29] <ash`> PoNuts: ^
[08:29] <PoNuts> But ssh is to connect to one server.. Seveas did good search and I found the pssh which seeams to do the task txh
[08:30] <PoNuts> I guess (need to do more RTFM) that it connect to a list of your servers and run the commands similtanously like checking uptime
[08:31] <ash`> PoNuts: mmk. if it solves your problem - i would create a shell script but you know what problem you are solving :)
[08:31] <Seveas> PoNuts: pssh works too, but if you frequently need to run things on many machines, you really should look at salt.
[08:31] <PoNuts> Thx ash nice
[08:31] <PoNuts> Ill do
[08:33] <Pluk> Has anyone else here had experience with trying to log in to Ubuntu and getting "Failed to start session" instead of logging in?
[08:34] <ikonia> Pluk: what is the session it's referencing
[08:35] <Pluk> @ikonia: I am unsure what you mean, I am trying to log into my account after booting into Ubuntu, and I get the message "Failed to start session". If I mistype my password it says "Incorrect Password" so I know it's not a password problem.
[08:36] <Pluk> I did accidentally remove python (sudo apt-get remove python) before upgrading, and I've read since that that causes really, really bad things in Ubuntu
[08:37] <White_Cat> well
[08:37] <ikonia> Pluk yes, that will cause a lot of problems
[08:37] <White_Cat> maybe it will mayeb it wont
[08:37] <ikonia> Pluk: are you trying to login to the gui environment
[08:38] <Pluk> @ikonia: Yes, to the gui. When I try tty, it asks for my username and password. I have no idea what my username is though, and I have tried pretty much every username I have ever used anywhere.
[08:39] <ikonia> Pluk: go to the command line, and re-install python/check the X start up logs
[08:40] <EriC^> Pluk: hold shift while the pc boots
[08:40] <ikonia> Pluk: you must know your username - as you are telling me you are trying to login and it's giving you the failed to start session
[08:40] <ikonia> Pluk: so if you are logging in and getting that error - you known your username
[08:40] <aryo> #part
[08:40] <EriC^> press e over the ubuntu entry, add init=/bin/bash to the end of the kernel line ( Linux vmlinuz... )
[08:41] <Pluk> How do I go to the command line without logging in? I only know how to use the terminal, but ctrl+shift+t doesn't work. Eric, is that what shift does while booting?
[08:42] <EriC^> Pluk: ikonia is right, your username is the one showing in lightdm if that's what you're using
[08:43] <Pluk> I will try starting with bash, and then re-installing python from there. I'll report back when I know more, thanks for your help so far! :D
[08:43] <EriC^> hold on
[08:43] <EriC^> what do you mean starting with bash?
[08:43] <Pluk> Oh, I missed some
[08:43] <Pluk> yes alright
[08:43] <EriC^> the init=/bin/bash ?
[08:44] <Pluk> Uh, I mean adding init=/bin/bash to the boot entry
[08:44] <EriC^> if you do that, press ctrl+x to execute it, or f10
[08:44] <EriC^> when you get a root prompt you need to remount rw
[08:44] <ikonia> you don't need all that
[08:44] <ikonia> just use the recovery shell
[08:44] <ikonia> no need to change the init
[08:44] <EriC^> so type mount -o remount,rw /
[08:44] <ikonia> or just boot and interupt the X startup
[08:45] <Pluk> Also, when I try to login to Ubuntu, it only asks for a password, not a username. For my username is just shows my full name with spaces and special symbols etc, which proved not to be a username I can use in tty
[08:45] <EriC^> ikonia: the recovery shell asks for the password, but what do you mean by interrupting X?
[08:45] <ikonia> the recovery shell won't ask for a password unless you've set the root password
[08:46] <Pluk> I'm sorry, but I'm uncertain by what you mean with either recovery shell or interrupting X
[08:46] <EriC^> ikonia: it asks here, although i've not
[08:46] <EriC^> i put my user's pass and it gives me a prompt
[08:46] <Pluk> I think I know my root password though
[08:47] <Pluk> Shall I try in recovery mode using shift, first?
[08:47] <EriC^> yeah
[08:47] <Pluk> Alright, I'll be back after I've tried that. Thanks!
[08:47] <EriC^> if it says something like read only, press on enable networking
[08:47] <EriC^> it will remount as rw
[08:53] <tracyone> how to view a yuv file in ubuntu 14.04
[08:56] <CupOfCocoa> Hey guys, I am trying to change a value/line in a config file with sed. Unfortunately the value I want to set includes a

[08:57] <cfhowlett> !es | Pepe,
[08:58] <CupOfCocoa> Hey guys, I am trying to change a value/line in a config file with sed. Unfortunately the value I want to set includes a ' character and sed complains that this is invalid syntax. This is the current command I have: sed -ri "s/#(run_command) .*$/\1 = 'blah'/" config.conf Any ideas how to do this?
[08:58] <EriC^> CupOfCocoa: escape it with \
[08:59] <CupOfCocoa> EriC^: Tried that, still the same error
[08:59] <EriC^> CupOfCocoa: use @
[08:59] <EriC^> sed -i 's@bla@'
[08:59] <EriC^> sed -i 's@bla@blaaa@'
[08:59] <CupOfCocoa> Interesting so replace ' by @?
[08:59] <EriC^> that works if you're using a variable to replace stuff
[09:00] <EriC^> like 's@$var1@$var2@'
[09:00] <EriC^> ( whivh has chars which need escaping)
[09:00] <EriC^> CupOfCocoa: no, replace the "/" of sed with "@"
[09:01] <EriC^> CupOfCocoa: it will work without using variables, but if you have variables it's handy
[09:01] <EriC^> brb
[09:02] <JBudzNix> hi gang
[09:02] <JBudzNix> how is everyone?
[09:04] <CupOfCocoa> EriC^: Mhm okay so I tired sed -ri "s@#(run_command) .*$@\1 = 'blah'@" config.conf but now I get "unterminated s command" error :/
[09:09] <clumsy_bot> Are there any other methods of creating a LiveUSB without resorting to dd?
[09:09] <cfhowlett> clumsy_bot, startup-disk-creator or unetbootin
[09:09] <Sexbot> Ah
[09:10] <owen1> I 'Override software rendering list' and 'Enable WebGL' in chrome://flags but http://get.webgl.org say I don't have WebGL support. I also tried running chrome with --disable-gpu-watchdog but it doesn't help. Firefox runs WebGL just fine. I have the same issue with chromium-browser package (39.0.2171.65 Ubuntu 14.10) and also with chrome (39.0.2171.71). Any ideas?
[09:10] <clumsy_bot> cfhowlett: What about manual partitioning methods?
[09:10] <cfhowlett> clumsy_bot, limited but you can set some persistence memory aside with startup'
[09:11] <zyrex> test
[09:11] <clumsy_bot> cfhowlett: I was thinking of setting up a LiveUSB with the additional space still usable for storage.
[09:11] <cfhowlett> clumsy_bot, which is exactly what persistence does
[09:12] <clumsy_bot> cfhowlett: Usable outside/independent of the live environment?
[09:12] <cfhowlett> clumsy_bot, yep.
[09:12] <cfhowlett> clumsy_bot, you can even use it within the live environment
[09:13] <clumsy_bot> cfhowlett: Ah I see. I'll check it out then.

[09:18] <Guest3183> is there someone who can help me

[09:20] <b10s> i have troubles with keyboard enter: so slow showing chars on display after i press keys
[09:20] <b10s> and sometimes some as loses

[09:20] <cfhowlett> Guest3183, pretty sure you'll find more targetted support at http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums/
[09:23] <fahad_IT> linux413
[09:27] <JBudzNix> anyone around for a quick chat about linux on netbooks? (in particular playing youtube videis)
[09:28] <Guest3183> cfhowlett, I have asked about this there but nobody have answered my question. This is a more diverse community. I was hoping to get my answer here.
[09:29] <hateball> !ask | JBudzNix
[09:30] <cfhowlett> Guest3183, I see a lot of raspberrry discussion but I had to look up "beagleboard" ...
[09:30] <EriC^> CupOfCocoa: you have to use 2 like 's@something@somethingelse@'
[09:31] <JBudzNix> i am currently running linuxlite on my netbook. i have previously ran windows 7.  I have found that almost regardless of OS that youtube videos struggle on netbook.
[09:31] <classe02> coucou
[09:31] <JBudzNix> is there any lightweight distributions that excel in particular with youtube?
[09:35] <cfhowlett> JBudzNix, course not.  distro = distro with different apps and looks.  what MIGHT be different are the default codecs.  you DID install restricted extras ... right?
[09:36] <JBudzNix> i will say no because i  dont recall seeing that during install.
[09:37] <cfhowlett> JBudzNix, netbook?  they still make those?  anyway, netbook typically means low ram and low-end gpu = limited media performance
[09:37] <JBudzNix> indeed. what i find strange though is that i can run HD videos fine within VLC (avi, mkv, etc)
[09:37] <cfhowlett> JBudzNix, suggest you install lubuntu and lubuntu-restricted-extras.  Linuxlite is not an ubuntu distro and is not supported here.
[09:37] <JBudzNix> yet, flash videos struggle immensely
[09:39] <JBudzNix> linuxlite is ubuntu based
[09:39] <cfhowlett> !flavors | JBudzNix,
[09:39] <cfhowlett> JBudzNix, these are supported.  if not on this list, not supported.
[09:40] <JBudzNix> okay sure. i understand the point you are making. however, im just merely looking for a bit of insight into some other lightweight options that might give me a bit better flash performance.
[09:41] <JBudzNix> you feel as though lubuntu might give me a bit better resource allowance?
[09:42] <cfhowlett> JBudzNix, lubuntu is optimized for legacy and low-specification hardware so ... netbook?
[09:43] <JBudzNix> yep. i understand that. however, ive seen that there is at least 20 distributions that are lightweight and 'tailored' to older systems / netbooks.
[09:43] <cfhowlett> JBudzNix, then you have a choice to make.
[09:43] <EriC^> JBudzNix: give lubuntu a shot
[09:44] <JBudzNix> just fielding some suggestions. i have no confusion over the limited capacity of the netbook.
[09:44] <JBudzNix> hi eric.
[09:44] <wafflej0ck_> JBudzNix: yeah regardless of the actual distro you choose that's really just choosing a set of packages and repositories to pull from and LXDE and XFCE are some of the graphically less intensive desktop environments
[09:44] <JBudzNix> thanks.
[09:45] <JBudzNix> right, thanks wafflej0ck_.

[10:46] <b100s> how can i see lasy updates for distr and look at chagelogs?
[10:49] <EriC^> b100s: less /var/log/apt/history.log
[10:49] <michele993> how to view the source code of a program?
[10:49] <b100s> only last one?
[10:49] <b100s> EriC^,
[10:50] <b100s> what about last 10?
[10:50] <michele993> i write in terminale sudo apt-get source NAMEOFPROGRAM
[10:50] <EriC^> michele993: sudo apt-get source <package>
[10:50] <michele993> but i can't see?
[10:50] <michele993> yes
[10:50] <michele993> hi eric ^^
[10:50] <EriC^> michele993: it'll download it to your home dir
[10:50] <EriC^> hi michele993
[10:50] <michele993> aaah
[10:51] <michele993> ty
[10:51] <michele993> xD
[10:51] <EriC^> np
[10:51] <EriC^> ;D
[10:51] <cousteau> Hi, is moonlight available in repositories?  I don't seem to find it
[10:51] <michele993> what is a simple program to view?
[10:51] <EriC^> gedit i guess
[10:51] <michele993> ok
[10:51] <michele993> i try
[10:52] <cousteau> only for Lucid.  Was it removed for some reason?  (maybe I should ask this in ubuntu.devel)
[10:52] <cfhowlett> !info moonlight
[10:52] <michele993> it's in phyton?
[10:52] <metaspike> b100s, have a look at /var/log/dpkg.log for installation history
[10:52] <EriC^> b100s: you can use less /var/log/apt/history.log.1.gz etc.
[10:53] <metaspike> and that
[10:53] <cousteau> what's the channel for package maintenance?
[10:53] <b100s> is there way to discard last, say, 10 updates?
[10:54] <EriC^> b100s: get the name of the packages and purge them i guess
[10:54] <metaspike> or install the old versions directly from /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:56] <michele993> is in c++ O.O?
[10:56] <metaspike> infact if you go there, sort by date, you should see what's been installed recently... sort by name to get various versions, its a temporary cache though, so yeah...
[10:57] <b100s> thx, so long way to get old version
[10:58] <metaspike> you can just double click the .deb files in there to install them i think.
[10:59] <EriC^^> b100s: this will remove the last 10
[10:59] <EriC^^> cat dpkg.log.1 | awk '/status installed/ {print $5}' | tail -n10 |xargs sudo apt-get purge
[10:59] <febritecno> thx
[10:59] <febritecno> as
[11:00] <EriC^^> b100s: you might want to run it without the | xargs sudo ... to see what they are first
[11:00] <cfhowlett> what command to list installed packages sorted by install date?  dpkg ... something IIRC
[11:00] <metaspike> n1 EriC^^
[11:00] <EriC^^> b100s: it's dpkg.log , not dpkg.log.1
[11:00] <b100s> EriC^^, thx a lot
[11:01] <EriC^^> no problem
[11:02] <metaspike> try not to uninstall grub or something heh...
[11:02] <Kyoshiro`> hey, I heard ubuntu decided to follow debian on systemd but it was a bit forced by "upstream" change to systemd, is it true ? are projects like devuan an alternative ?
[11:03] <ikonia> Kyoshiro`: ubuntu will move to systemd within the next few releases,
[11:03] <Kyoshiro`> ok ^^
[11:05] <metaspike> ubuntu is derived from debian, so it's pretty much unavoidable
[11:05] <Kyoshiro`> yeah it's understandable, but since there are projects "forking" debian to remove systemd maybe it could be a way to avoid it :)
[11:06] <ikonia> Kyoshiro`: none of that is anything to do with ubuntu though
[11:06] <blackyboy> how can i setup a nfs server with firewall, trying from morning onwards still not get success
[11:06] <ikonia> ubuntu pulls from debian
[11:06] <cfhowlett> !server | blackyboy,
[11:07] <blackyboy> cfhowlett: i'm trying in ubuntu server only
[11:07] <ikonia> blackyboy: what's the actual problem
[11:07] <vlt> Hello. It’s 2014 – so what package do I want to use for basic video editing? I have several different sources (1280p/720p h.264, DV ...), want to create (sub)titles and edit audio levels. Any idea?
[11:07] <cfhowlett> blackyboy, thus my suggestion to ask the server channel but see ikonia ...
[11:08] <cfhowlett> vlt, so many options ... openshot is a decent starting point
[11:08] <seriousscandinav> vlt: I have used openshot for editing video. Don't do it a lot, but it seems to work.
[11:08] <cfhowlett> vlt, for subtitles, install subtitle editor
[11:08] <blackyboy> ikonia: i have iptables and nfs can't mount while the iptables running , if i flush i can get the nfs share by running showmount -e xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[11:08] <vlt> cfhowlett: Thank you :-)
[11:08] <el3> Hello, I got an apple core storage partition I cannot boot on. So I try the ubuntu live usb, and see if I can mount it and backup the files. Any here got experience with this?
[11:09] <vlt> seriousscandinav: You too.
[11:09] <ikonia> blackyboy: so iptables is blocking traffic then
[11:09] <ikonia> blackyboy: document what ports/protocols nfs needs, then map it to your iptables rules
[11:09] <cfhowlett> vlt, happy to help.  make it easy: sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-video and see #ubuntustudio
[11:09] <ikonia> blackyboy: you'll soon find the conflict
[11:09] <blackyboy> ikonia: yes... And  while i dont want to use the nfs default ports
[11:09] <ikonia> blackyboy: ok, so you know the ports you need then
[11:10] <ikonia> blackyboy: so you should be able to find the conflict
[11:10] <ikonia> blackyboy: I suspect you've failed to configure NFS / associated services to use different ports
[11:10] <ikonia> blackyboy: so they will probably still be running on the default ports
[11:10] <ikonia> changing the NFS ports is not something that is recommended.
[11:10] <ikonia> I see no value in doing that
[11:10] <blackyboy> yes currently by default it use 111 and 2049
[11:10] <metaspike> el3, you probably need hfs packages, then mount -t hfs /dev/sdx /mnt/meh
[11:11] <metaspike> but im guessing.
[11:11] <b100s> EriC^^,  looks like i cant distinguish packages installed by hand from packages came with updates
[11:12] <alumnat> Hi
[11:12] <bbryant> Hi
[11:12] <bbryant> Need help?
[11:12] <metaspike> el3, gparted should tell you what the partition type is
[11:13] <hxm> hello, how can i fix this? W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/multiverse/binary-armel/Packages  404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[11:13] <el3> metaspike, Gparted shows warning only
[11:13] <hxm> looks like my proccessor is missing
[11:13] <blackyboy> Were is ikonia
[11:13] <metaspike> el3, even when you choose a disk?
[11:13] <bbryant> Hxm, sudo apt-get update
[11:14] <hxm> using apt-get update is when i get that error
[11:14] <hxm> my sources.list is this deb http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe
[11:14] <el3> metaspike, sry filesystem unknown. the recovery partition is hfs+
[11:14] <bbryant> Uhh ok, I'll be back to apc after this cigarette
[11:14] <bbryant> I can help more then
[11:14] <blackyboy> ikonia: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?DocLang=en&docId=mmr_kc-0110637&docLocale=en_US  i have followed this documentation to change the default port to some other port.
[11:15] <ikonia> blackyboy: why are you changing the default ports ?
[11:16] <EriC^^> b100s: ok, i'd recommend cat /var/log/apt/history.log
[11:16] <blackyboy> ikonia: by default it will change the random ports
[11:16] <el3> metaspike, but it should also be hfs
[11:16] <EriC^^> b100s: it will mention the command run and the installed packages, use zcat /var/log/apt/history.log.1.gz if history.log is empty
[11:16] <ikonia> blackyboy: thats only portmapper
[11:16] <ikonia> and that will feed into a port range
[11:17] <blackyboy> oh i see
[11:17] <ikonia> blackyboy: I don't get what you are actually having as a problem
[11:17] <ikonia> blackyboy: you have configured nfs to use specific ports
[11:17] <ikonia> configure those tcp/udp ports on your firewall
[11:17] <ikonia> if it doesn't work - look for conflicts
[11:17] <blackyboy> Then if i use to add the 111 from my nfs server its possible to access from client ?
[11:18] <ikonia> blackyboy: is this an internal network ?
[11:18] <ikonia> or on the internet ?
[11:18] <blackyboy> My boss ask me not to use UDP
[11:18] <blackyboy> nope its internet
[11:18] <ikonia> then you shouldn't be using NFS
[11:18] <ikonia> it's that simple
[11:18] <blackyboy> hmm
[11:18] <Guest50291> Ubuntu  14.04 not able boot after restoring resolver state , please help how I can fix it .
[11:19] <ikonia> Guest50291: restoring resolver state ?
[11:19] <blackyboy> ikonia: actually now i have 7 VPS server, and i want to write 3 servers file to one of the file server that my requirement
[11:19] <ikonia> blackyboy: that doesn't change what I said
[11:19] <ikonia> you're free to ignore advice
[11:20] <blackyboy> ikonia: fine thanks for spending your precious time...
[11:20] <ikonia> blackyboy: if they are VPS, use an internal network that doesn't go over the internet
[11:20] <ikonia> then you don't need to firewall NFS
[11:20] <ikonia> and you can have a stable connection
[11:22] <blackyboy> ikonia: good idea, How can i setup that internal network between different IPs of my all 7 VPS
[11:22] <ikonia> blackyboy: depends on the hypervisor
[11:23] <blackyboy> ikonia: oh no its shared host, not a dedicated
[11:23] <ikonia> blackyboy: again, that doesn't change what I said
[11:23] <blackyboy> lol
[11:23] <ikonia> blackyboy: to setup networks between hosts, it depends on the hypervisor
[11:23] <ikonia> between guests I should say
[11:23] <blackyboy> ok let me try
[11:24] <Guest96637> Gnu boot is not loading resolving the state , I am using webirc using iPhone so it exits any time .. Sorry Ubuntu 14.10
[11:24] <ikonia> gnu boot ?
[11:24] <ikonia> what is gnu boot ?
[11:25] <bbryant1> ok, who was it that had a question about a 404 error with apt-get upgrade?
[11:25] <Guest96637> Boot loading.. My login screen is not coming .. It is halting in boot process
[11:25] <ikonia> Guest96637: what point in the boot process does it halt at ?
[11:26] <Guest96637> Restoring resolver state ...
[11:27] <ikonia> Guest96637: I've never seen that warning before, is this grub ?
[11:27] <bbryant1> Guest96637: did you just upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 ?
[11:27] <m4g0g> hi
[11:28] <bbryant1> hi m4g0g
[11:29] <Guest96637> No . When Ubuntu starts there are 5 dots that change color to show process on main screen.. I just press esc and it shows the background. Like starting MySQL server ok .. Then it doesn't proceed further restoring resolver state
[11:30] <bbryant1> Guest96637: did you just upgrade frmo 12.04 to 14.04?
[11:30] <m4g0g> I have ubuntu livecd and I need to customize it. One of the customization point - enable dhcp as default connection method. I write in /etc/network/interfaces lines for dhcp connection for eth0, build new livecd and on livecd run this file rewrites with lo lines and I can't connecto to network by default. Can you help me? I am not ubuntu user
[11:30] <ikonia> m4g0g ubuntu CD has dhcp enabled by default
[11:31] <ikonia> m4g0g: you don't use the interfaces
[11:31] <Guest96637> I ungraded a month ago.. In evening it's power off .. Didn't work I think I will try in early after some sleep and but also it is not working
[11:31] <ikonia> you use network maanger
[11:31] <bbryant1> Guest96637: ok, so the ubuntu forums has a post about this problem
[11:31] <bbryant1> it appears the following my fix it: sudo su -c "dpkg --configure -a && shutdown -r now"
[11:31] <bbryant1> try that and get back to me
[11:32] <m4g0g> ikonia: my ubuntu doesn't use it by default. (
[11:32] <bbryant1> source: http://askubuntu.com/questions/478205/upgraded-12-04-to-14-04-splash-gets-stuck-at-restoring-resolver-state
[11:32] <ikonia> m4g0g then you are not using ubuntu
[11:32] <ikonia> m4g0g: the ubuntu cd has it by default
[11:32] <bbryant1> wait

[11:32] <bbryant1> if it's 6.04 or something, that could be your problem
[11:32] <m4g0g> backbox
[11:32] <ikonia> m4g0g: thats not ubuntu
[11:32] <ikonia> m4g0g: thats not supported here
[11:32] <bbryant1> Guest96637: I gave you the command and the link to where I got the idea from

[11:33] <m4g0g> uname -a show that this is ubuntu
[11:33] <ikonia> m4g0g: it's not ubuntu
[11:33] <ikonia> m4g0g: it has it's own support resources/projects
[11:35] <rpack> I was checking Ubuntu Cloud's page and I can read "the first 10 machines are free". Does this refer to physical machines, VMs or what exactly is the limitation?

[11:38] <Ravisankar> Hi
[11:38] <Ravisankar> I am new to Xubuntu
[11:38] <bbryant1> what up Ravisankar
[11:38] <bbryant1> how can we help you today?
[11:38] <Ravisankar> I just installed Xubuntu along with Windows XP
[11:38] <bbryant1> one of those is a lot better than the other
[11:39] <bbryant1> i'll let you decide which
[11:39] <Ravisankar> it seems by mistake I chose wrong drive for boot loader partition
[11:39] <cfhowlett> bbryant, no we'll let YOU decide.  your box, your choice.  don't be lazy.  use it and see for yourself.
[11:40] <bbryant1> cfhowlett: that's ...what I just said?
[11:40] <bbryant1> so I completely agree
[11:40] <Ravisankar> i read the ubutu question
[11:40] <Ravisankar> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+question/67858
[11:40] <Ravisankar> but it is not helping me
[11:40] <Ravisankar> how to change the boot loader
[11:40] <bbryant1> uh, are you using 8.10 ?
[11:40] <Ravisankar> latest LTS
[11:41] <Ravisankar> 14.04 i think
[11:41] <bbryant1> ok
[11:41] <bbryant1> gparted
[11:41] <bbryant1> that's what you want to look into
[11:41] <bbryant1> that'll allow you to toggle the bootable flag for individual partitions
[11:41] <bbryant1> and you can change it to the one that's applicable to your setup
[11:41] <ikonia> the bootable flag does nothing
[11:41] <bbryant1> he said that was his problem
[11:41] <bbryant1> maybe I'm confused
[11:41] <Ravisankar> could you explain it lit bit elaborate
[11:42] <ikonia> bbryant1: I didn't see him say that
[11:42] <ikonia> bbryant1: he said he'd installed it to the wrong partition
[11:42] <bbryant1> right, maybe I'm confused
[11:42] <bbryant1> oh
[11:42] <bbryant1> well then
[11:42] <ikonia> wrong drive sorry
[11:42] <Ravisankar> i installed the OS in hda7
[11:42] <Ravisankar> and i chose boot loader partion as hda7
[11:42] <ikonia> raviede: there is no such disk as hd7
[11:42] <ikonia> hda7
[11:42] <ikonia> hda device names have not been used in a LONG time
[11:43] <Ravisankar> my system is 10 year old
[11:43] <ikonia> Ravisankar: what is the EXACT operating system version
[11:43] <bbryant1> he said 14.04
[11:43] <Ravisankar> yes
[11:43] <ikonia> bbryant1: let him answer please
[11:43] <bbryant1> he already did
[11:43] <Ravisankar> yes Xubuntu 14.04 LTS
[11:43] <bbryant1> but ok
[11:44] <ikonia> Ravisankar: then it is not a 10 year old OS
[11:44] <bbryant1> he said his computer was 10 years old
[11:44] <ikonia> Ravisankar: ubuntu 14.04 will not use device identifiers as hd7
[11:44] <bbryant1> not his os
[11:44] <ikonia> bbryant1: stop
[11:44] <Ravisankar> i said my machine
[11:44] <ikonia> Ravisankar: and it is your OS that controls the device names
[11:44] <ikonia> Ravisankar: so there should not be a device called hda7

[11:45] <ikonia> Ravisankar: where are you getting those instructions from ?
[11:45] <Ravisankar> oh ok
[11:46] <Ravisankar> from that website
[11:46] <bbryant1> the instructions are for 8.10
[11:46] <Ravisankar> launchpad
[11:46] <bbryant1> I can link you to what he linked earlier
[11:46] <ikonia> they are for the wrong OS

[11:49] <mohsen-rashidi> is it possible to install openjdk 8 in ubuntu 13.10/
[11:49] <mohsen-rashidi> ?
[11:49] <ikonia> 13.10 is dead, so not from any ubuntu repo
[11:50] <bbryant1> what happened to 13.10? (haven't kept up with ubuntu for over a year, which is a big reason for me hanging around)
[11:50] <ikonia> its EOL
[11:50] <ikonia> just expired, nothing more
[11:50] <bbryant1> oh alright
[11:51] <bbryant1> 1 year til EOL for non-LTS?
[11:51] <mohsen-rashidi> ikonia: i know it`s dead and don`t want it for own use.
[11:51] <k1l_> bbryant1: if you dont want to upgrade all 6 months stick with the LTS version. which is 12.04 or 14.04
[11:51] <seriousscandinav> Non-LTS releases have 9 month support.
[11:51] <k1l_> bbryant1: no. 9 months
[11:51] <bbryant1> ok
[11:51] <bbryant1> yea, I always go with LTS for that reason
[11:51] <bbryant1> got 14.04 right now
[11:51] <mohsen-rashidi> it should be installed manually?
[11:51] <k1l_> mohsen-rashidi: we dont support running eol releases. so you are on your own there if you think its clever to run 13.10

[12:25] <bbryant1> how do I increase my number of screens?
[12:27] <bazhang> bbryant1, did you mean workspaces?
[12:27] <seriousscandinav> bbryant1: do you mean virtual desktops or physical screens?
[12:27] <bbryant1> I do
[12:27] <bbryant1> workspaces
[12:27] <bbryant1> I couldn't remember the word
[12:27] <bbryant1> my bad
[12:27] <bazhang> bbryant1, using unity, gnome-shell or what
[12:27] <bbryant1> standard install of 14.04
[12:27] <bbryant1> whatever is default
[12:27] <bbryant1> is what I have
[12:27] <bbryant1> isntalled it yesterday
[12:27] <bazhang> thats unity
[12:28] <bbryant1> ok
[12:28] <seriousscandinav> If you use Unity i would reccomend you download unity tweak and use that.
[12:28] <bbryant1> ok
[12:28] <bazhang> !info unity-tweak-tool
[12:28] <seriousscandinav> Unity tweak allows you to change your number of workspaces.
[12:29] <bbryant1> seriousscandinav: and now I have 4 workspaces
[12:29] <bbryant1> thank you
[12:29] <seriousscandinav> bbryant: Awesome! I love virtual workspaces.
[12:31] <bbryant1> I do too
[12:38] <marz> I'm trying to add a custom .service to systemd, However, I'm getting a code=exited, status=1/FAILURE, where can I look up the flags that I can use with ExecStart? like -D and -c
[12:39] <masterkorp> hello
[12:40] <masterkorp> How do i tell start-stop-daemon to create a fork of the process ?
[12:40] <masterkorp> -b ?
[12:41] <bbryant1> so quick question, where in the settings is the setting for dimming the screen
[12:42] <bbryant1> and at waht interval
[12:42] <bbryant1> does that make sense?
[12:42] <seriousscandinav> You can dim the screen in the brightness and lock settings.
[12:43] <bbryant1> thanks
[12:43] <bbryant1> sorry, stupid question
[12:43] <seriousscandinav> there are no stupid questions
[12:47] <marz> Has anyone tried adding service in systemd?
[12:49] <solsTiCe> I don't thin ubuntu use systemd yet
[12:49] <seriousscandinav> Current versions of Ubuntu uses Upstart, but systemd is coming.
[12:50] <marz> seriousscandinav: are you familar with systemd anyhow?
[12:51] <seriousscandinav> No, i am not. I think visiting the IRC-channel of a distro using it would give you more of a chance to get to know it.
[12:52] <solsTiCe> but I wonder why is there a systemd package instlled anyway ?
[12:52] <ikonia> solsTiCe: it needs the minimal stuff for udev
[12:52] <Ajkaro> solsTiCe: it needs the minimal stuff for udev
[12:52] <niko> .
[12:52] <Ajkaro> .
[12:52] <ikonia> Ajkaro: ?
[12:52] <k1l_> because some parts of systemd were used anyway.
[12:52] <Ajkaro> Ajkaro: ?
[12:52] <Ajkaro> because some parts of systemd were used anyway.
[12:53] <solsTiCe> we have a parrot ?

[12:55] <super> hii
[12:55] <super> anyone
[12:55] <seriousscandinav> hi super
[12:55] <super> What does the blinking led on CPU box  indicate ??
[12:56] <ubnew> Anyone have experience on Ati driver configuration ?
[12:56] <ubnew> http://fpaste.org/155449/35823141/ my error log
[12:56] <super> seriousscandinav, does this indicate a RAM usage or CPU usage??
[12:57] <k1l_> .
[12:57] <Ajkaro> .
[12:57] <seriousscandinav> super: I'm not sure what you are refering to, is it a hardware thing?
[12:57] <super> seriousscandinav :Yes
[12:58] <seriousscandinav> I think a blinking light on a desktop generally means that the CPU is working on something.
[12:58] <solsTiCe> the hdd you mean
[12:58] <bazhang> try ##hardware super
[12:58] <seriousscandinav> Probably
[12:59] <super> seriousscandinav :There is a led above power indicator.Which blinks continuosly when some script is processed in my browser causing the system to hang
[13:00] <sacarlson> I can't seem to get any sound out of ZynAddSubFX synth that goes to jackd.  jackd seems to be working as I can hear vlc play music to it.  ZynAddSubFX looks to be running ok when I hit a key it shows displaying output but just no sound is hurd
[13:00] <super> I dont know if it indicates a HDD usage or RAM or Processor
[13:00] <seriousscandinav> super: I would go with bazhangs suggestion.
[13:00] <solsTiCe> on all pc box it's generally hdd activty
[13:01] <super> solsTiCe : Hmm..There is a led above power indicator.Which blinks continuosly when some script is processed in my browser causing the system to hang
[13:02] <super> bazhang :thanks...for suggestion
[13:05] <sacarlson> opps never mind,  I just had the connect line from ZynAddSubFX to system audio output in jackd in the wrong location.  most apps connect them self so I just failed to check
[13:05] <Osenpai> hi guys, is possible to restore original permissions on / ?
[13:06] <metaspike> no
[13:07] <super> Hey anyone can give me a hardware prob channel?? other than ##hardware.Its not working.
[13:08] <metaspike> super, you will need to look up manufacture supplied troubleshooting codes.
[13:08] <metaspike> it could mean bad ram, cpu, mobo...
[13:08] <Osenpai> metaspike, Can I to try this? http://hyperlogos.org/page/Restoring-Permissions-Debian-System
[13:08] <khussein78> I did latest updates on ubuntu 14.04 and after restarting my PC, when I type my login nothing appear, unity is not working,
[13:09] <mahem1_> I know, off topic, but would anyone know of a way to preview an ova file _without_ actually virtualization? (vbox, etc)
[13:09] <mahem1_> ^ Like just to see settings and filesystem structures and stuff.
[13:11] <super> metaspike :My PC components are 5 yr old except HDD.Is their any software to point the exact component?
[13:11] <metaspike> Osenpai, that will reinstall all the packages. better to reinstall
[13:11] <metaspike> the OS
[13:11] <Osenpai> I can't reinstall OS at this moment :(
[13:11] <metaspike> super, does it boot?
[13:12] <khussein78> when do unity --replace , it stuck at compiz (core) starting plugin : session
[13:12] <khussein78> any ideas
[13:12] <metaspike> Osenpai, well you can try it, report back if it works I guess...
[13:12] <EriC^^> khussein78: unity --replace is deprecated i think
[13:12] <super> metaspike :Its all fine except it hangs sometime.Like when copying.Especially when scripts are working on Webpages.
[13:12] <Osenpai> metaspike, Okay, I will try here, thanks for the help
[13:12] <EriC^^> khussein78: are you trying to reset unity?
[13:13] <khussein78> EriC^^,  yes
[13:13] <EriC^^> khussein78: type setsid unity
[13:13] <khussein78> EriC^^,  I tried many options reinstalling unity
[13:13] <EriC^^> khussein78: what's the problem?
[13:14] <khussein78> EriC^^,  after installing latest updates unity not working, no desktop after enter username and password
[13:14] <metaspike> super, hangs? you could memtest, badblocks, smartctl, hddtemp, lm-sensor your way to the issue
[13:14] <super> metaspike :these are terminal commands??
[13:15] <super> metaspike :I am guessing its a HDD issue?hddtempwould do it?
[13:15] <metaspike> super, yep. i'm assuming hardware fault... run from a live cd and if it still hangs, probably is.
[13:15] <EriC^^> khussein78: did you try the guest account?
[13:16] <khussein78> EriC^^,  yes same problem
[13:16] <super> metaspike : nice idea..will run from live CD..thanx
[13:16] <EriC^^> khussein78: di you try an earlier kernel?
[13:16] <khussein78> EriC^^,  yes also same problem
[13:16] <metaspike> super, these tools test various hardware components, memtest = ram, badblocks = hdd sectors, smartctl = hdd physical checks, lm-sensors, thermal readings..
[13:17] <super> metaspike,any command for processor test
[13:17] <BluesKaj_> 'Morning folks
[13:18] <super> metaspike ,  any command for processor test
[13:18] <super> BluesKaj_ : Its night in Asia.
[13:19] <metaspike> super, lm-senors will give you cpu temp, you can trash it with an infinite loop 'while [[ true ]] do; do : ; done;' and see how high the temp gets
[13:19] <metaspike> lm-sensors*
[13:19] <metaspike> sorry, while true ; do : ; done
[13:19] <BluesKaj_> super, well it's morning in Canada
[13:20] <metaspike> probably a better way to stress test cpu.. i dunno.
[13:20] <super> metaspike : Hey i am new to xubuntu,where should i type those commands?Terminal?
[13:24] <metaspike> super, put this into terminal 'sudo apt-get install gsmartcontrol & sudo gsmartcontrol'
[13:24] <SCHAAP137> make it a double &
[13:24] <metaspike> 'sudo apt-get install gsmartcontrol && sudo gsmartcontrol'
[13:24] <SCHAAP137> this will install the application, and afterwards start it using sudo
[13:24] <super> OK
[13:25] <metaspike> memtest you run from the first boot menu, that's another good an easy one for hw diagnosis
[13:26] <acmeraptor> warning. memtest can take forever to finish :)
[13:27] <Ben64> memtest never finishes
[13:27] <super> metaspike : I did that ,the 2 min and 5 min .It showed no errors.
[13:27] <acmeraptor> lol
[13:27] <metaspike> i managed to isolate a dodgy ram stick with memtest, took ages though, yeh
[13:28] <metaspike> gsmartcontrol, pick a disk and look for warning flags (red)...
[13:29] <metaspike> accurately detected my windows thrashed disk has a mechanical fault, can't complain.
[13:30] <metaspike> pulled it out and put it into le' bin
[13:30] <acmeraptor> disc platters are effective bird deterrents.  just ask my grandma, recycle bro! :p
[13:31] <super> I am doing the conveyance test.5 min version.
[13:31] <metaspike> apparently the magnets are pretty cool if you get enough of them :)
[13:33] <metaspike> i dunno... i just want to push a button that runs all these diags for me and says, ' there's the problem! ' ... one day
[13:33] <acmeraptor> dude i have 20 or so drive magnets i have collected over my *extended years.  they make for great refrigerator pinups
[13:35] <acmeraptor> oh that jazz wont happen until yer in the 23'rd century star trek universe. and even then you'd have to run a level 1 diagnostic
[13:35] <super> Hey all no errors in results of conveyance test.
[13:35] <acmeraptor> level 3 won't cut it.
[13:35] <metaspike> it should say ' diagnosis complete, all systems nominal ' in a sexy female voice too.
[13:35] <acmeraptor> nice! @super
[13:36] <acmeraptor> rory, you've changed dude!
[13:37] <super> acmeraptor :But in error logs its showing "ATA Error Count: 5"
[13:37] <metaspike> super, did you try the gsmart line i gave you earlier?
[13:38] <super> metaspike :no..ok trying
[13:39] <acmeraptor> @super my experience is super limited. i came here for help but just haven't asked yet.
[13:40] <teward> acmeraptor: then ask?
[13:40] <acmeraptor> i don't know if it's even possible @teward
[13:41] <super> metaspike :i used "sudo gsmartcontrol"
[13:41] <acmeraptor> i have a printer that can share files via wifi. but i want to put them on a nas drive
[13:41] <acmeraptor> the nas being a western digital tv hub
[13:42] <metaspike> super, now click on your disk
[13:42] <super> metaspike :I did that and performed the conveyance test
[13:42] <teward> acmeraptor: the WD TV device isn't really a NAS on its own...
[13:42] <ryt_> clear
[13:43] <teward> acmeraptor: it streams from other storage units, really
[13:43] <metaspike> super, go to the attributes tab
[13:43] <ryt_> hi
[13:43] <rickardo1> Which is the easisest way to setup up a simple vpn service on my ubuntu 14.04 server. I want all of my client computer web traffic passed through this connection.
[13:44] <metaspike> raw value of seek error rate... spin up retry count, should be zero.
[13:44] <super> metaspike :Then??
[13:44] <acmeraptor> i know it's not truly a nas. but i'm curious if it can act as one.  for my purposes so far it's working great
[13:44] <metaspike> are they?
[13:44] <MrElendig> rickardo1: openvpn
[13:44] <teward> acmeraptor: it may store the information then in its own media library, but that's its own issue.  i think you'll need a more general support medium than the Ubuntu chat to discuss fixing a non-Ubuntu device to act as a NAS if even possible
[13:45] <teward> acmeraptor: your issue is not actually Ubuntu, in the sense that you want to hook a printer to a NAS and neither are Ubuntu... you'll need either special forums or a different IRC channel, maybe a hardware discussion/support channel
[13:45] <super> the failed section shows "never" for each entity
[13:45] <teward> s/NAS/pseudo-NAS/
[13:45] <ryt_> ls
[13:45] <super> metaspike :the failed section shows "never" for each entity
[13:46] <acmeraptor> i suspected that @teward. it's early i'm just having fun here right now
[13:46] <Ben64> acmeraptor: this channel is for ubuntu support only though
[13:46] <super> But in type column it shows "pre-failure" in 3 entities and in rest "too old"
[13:46] <teward> acmeraptor: well, lets keep the channel open for support, socialization outside of support can be in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[13:47] <acmeraptor> i'd probably need some developer that works for wd.  haha. as if i can get that for free
[13:47] <teward> !offtopic > acmeraptor
[13:47] <acmeraptor> i know
[13:47] <super>  metaspike :But in type column it shows "pre-failure" in 3 entities and in rest "too old"
[13:47] <metaspike> super, is anything red
[13:47] <super> metaspike :No
[13:47] <metaspike> does the error log tab have anything in it
[13:47] <super> metaspike :yes it shows "ATA Error Count: 5 (Note: Usually only the last five errors are stored.)"
[13:48] <metaspike> but no errors.
[13:48] <Ben64> super: does anything show up when you do "dmesg | grep error"
[13:49] <super> metaspike : 5 errors with type "uncorrectable error data"
[13:49] <super> Ben64 :just checking
[13:50] <super> I have saved the log ,where do i upload for you to see
[13:51] <metaspike> !pastebin
[13:53] <super> Conveyance test :http://paste.ubuntu.com/9330699/
[13:53] <super> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9330699/
[13:53] <metaspike> but fyi, uncorrectable error in data is the same message i got with my failure disk, so im guessing your disk is dying
[13:53] <metaspike> is that why it froze? dunno. should you get your data off? yes.
[13:53] <acmeraptor> maybe knoppix is in order?  copy everything off a dying drive before it is lost?
[13:55] <metaspike> if the data's important, yeah... i was looking at ddrescue-gui b4, i wonder if it's friendly enough; worth a shot. recovery can just be a tedium without something that's made for it.
[13:55] <ubnew> Anyone have experience on Ati driver configuration ? http://fpaste.org/155449/35823141/ my error log
[13:55] <super> metaspike :I have no imp data on it.But plz if you can reconfirm by seeing my logs
[13:57] <metaspike> super, will do, finally temperatures: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[13:57] <metaspike> actually, that looks dated. just try 'sudo sensors'
[13:58] <super> metaspike :means it's fine?
[13:59] <Ben64> super: does anything show up when you do "dmesg | grep error"
[13:59] <super> Ben64 :yes
[13:59] <Ben64> like...
[13:59] <Ben64> I/O error?
[14:00] <super> [   11.872767] EXT4-fs (dm-0): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
[14:00] <super> [   15.500025] hda-intel 0000:00:14.2: Codec #0 probe error; disabling it...
[14:00] <super> These two lines
[14:00] <Ben64> thats not good
[14:00] <Ben64> bad disk or bad cable or bad controller or ...
[14:00] <super> Ben64 :sure?
[14:01] <Ben64> one of those probably
[14:01] <metaspike> super, errors 2 and 3 from smart show a failure to identify, the rest are DMA read/write failures.
