[00:00] <daftykins> outlaw-666: so you don't want any data from it after all? fair enough
[00:00] <daftykins> might just be a bad reader
[00:01] <happyfr0gg> Yuken - read up on WPA-SUPPLICANT for Ubuntu there --> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/wpa_supplicant.conf.5.html maybe this will help you.
[00:02] <dna113p> What would happen if I run.... sudo rm -R /*
[00:02] <dna113p> ?
[00:02] <Yuken> happyfr0gg: Thing is, I can't DOWNLOAD wpa-supplicant.
[00:02] <BlackStar> hello
[00:02] <clmclm> dna113p, error after a few hundred deleted files
[00:02] <happyfr0gg> Yuken - how are you connecting to Freenode?
[00:03] <Yuken> happyfr0gg: Different PC.
[00:04] <happyfr0gg> Oh. Try to locate info on installing Ubuntu onto a sizable flash thumbdrive and use that to install Ubuntu onto the PC that you are wanting to connect to WPA WiFi.
[00:05] <Latrodectus> hi
[00:05] <Yuken> happyfr0gg: Thing is, I am allowed to do whatever I want to THAT PC. But, this PC that I am using is entirely locked down. No access to external drives, for example.
[00:06] <happyfr0gg> Yuken - Oh I see.
[00:06] <daftykins> seems you've already broken that rule :(
[00:07] <Yuken> daftykins: What do you mean, exactly?
[00:07] <Latrodectus> Yuken: my advice ask admin
[00:07] <daftykins> nevermind, the grown up action here is to explain the difficulty and resolve the wired / wireless networking access or get an alternative solution
[00:07] <daftykins> not hop through hoops because you've got a crazy hair-brained scheme :)
[00:08] <Yuken> But... he would take DAYS to fix it so I learn my lesson of accidentally screwing my Windows install.
[00:08] <Yuken> And this is the PC that I watch crap on when going to sleep, XD.
[00:09] <outlaw-666> daftykins, i would love to be able to have something from the card ... but i cant do it :(
[00:09] <daftykins> super important then
[00:09] <daftykins> outlaw-666: k
[00:10] <Yuken> happyfr0gg: My question is: does the base Mini Ubuntu install, with "Base Server" as my option, come with the stuff necessary to allow it to be a file server? So I can copy the needed packages over to the PC.
[00:12] <Scunizi> I have 2 pdf printers available., One is cups-pdf. In the print dialogue the 2nd shows 'Print to File (PDF)'.  It also doesn't show in CUPS or the gui printer setup dialogue. I need to change it's defaults. Any ideas where to look or how to do it?
[00:13] <mirtx2500> lol
[00:13] <mirtx2500> the kde tempature widget refuses to tell temps in celcius
[00:13] <happyfr0gg> Yuken - i am sorry, I am not familiar with the server iteration of Ubuntu.
[00:13] <mirtx2500> even when chaging the KDE local to Metric units it still uses degree's F even though the numbers are celcius
[00:13] <mirtx2500> LOL
[00:14] <Scunizi> Yuken: I don't think so.  That's why it's a "mini" install..
[00:15] <Yuken> Scunizi: Well then, I'm screwed. Guess I'm gonna go sneak around, make a pc-to-pc wep network, enable internet connection sharing, and install the packages.
[00:16] <Latrodectus> is your bios locked?
[00:16] <daftykins> yeah, i think the sneaking around element is what makes it a bit too frustrating to assist with
[00:16] <Latrodectus> yuken: is your bios locked?
[00:16] <Yuken> Latrodectus: Yes.
[00:16] <Scunizi> Yuken: you could probably ssh the items across and if it's linux to windows then use Putty on the windows side.
[00:17] <Yuken> Scunizi: Windows to Linux, since my only way of connection is WPA2 Wifi
[00:18] <happyfr0gg> daftykins - agreed. Nobody wants to be an accomplice to someone who may be committing something illegal. The federallies monitor this channel and if anyone disagrees then they probably are stupid.
[00:18] <Enkidu_ak> Yuken, rsync over ssh is probably your best bet in that case.
[00:18] <daftykins> happyfr0gg: don't be silly, it's that the task isn't grounded with sense... it's someone messing around because they won't own up about a mistake and talk to their parents
[00:18] <Yuken> happyfr0gg: Entirely legal, but I understand.
[00:19] <Enkidu_ak> Yuken, Or winscp.
[00:19] <happyfr0gg> My understanding has been cleared. No flaming please.  :-)
[00:21] <Yuken> daftykins: Main reason si that I don't want to wait a damn week for my father to reinstall Windows.
[00:21] <Yuken> daftykins: Not that I don't want to say that I made a mistake, but I don't want to wait that long q.q
[00:21] <Arrick> clmclm, I posted my question....
[00:22] <Latrodectus> yuken: is your cd tray locked?
[00:22] <happyfr0gg> Yuken - here is some more info on WPA-Supplicant - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Network802.1xAuthentication
[00:22] <Yuken> Latrodectus: No, but no CDs/DVDs
[00:23] <daftykins> Yuken: seems like you live in a police state for sure :P "only faja may install the OS"
[00:24] <Latrodectus> yuken: could you buy some discs, and do you have access to another computer?
[00:24] <Yuken> Latrodectus: Only the PC I am using right now, entirely locked down.
[00:24] <Latrodectus> yuken: not even a library?
[00:25] <Yuken> Latrodectus: The library doesn't allow you to connect external devices to their PCs.
[00:25] <Latrodectus> yuken: what about an internet cafe
[00:26] <Yuken> Latrodectus: None of those.
[00:26] <Desez2tPunk> Does anyone have a nice non-boring guide/tutorial on getting into Ubuntu and learning more about Linux?
[00:28] <happyfr0gg> Yuken - McDonald's has free WiFi but if you want unfiltered access to the Internet TOR is the way to go.
[00:28] <Enkidu_ak> Desez2tPunk, Define non-boring? It's easier to focus on a specific need and work from there. Was there something specific that you wanted to do? MythTV setup, various multimedia manipulation and productions, LAMP servers?
[00:28] <bazhang> !manual | Desez2tPunk
[00:28] <Yuken> happyfr0gg: TOR has been blocked.
[00:28] <k1l_> Desez2tPunk: just start to use it :)
[00:29] <happyfr0gg> Yuken - what do you mean TOR has been blocked? Are you referring to the WiFi network you are currently on?
[00:30] <Yuken> happyfr0gg: TOR, the website and proxies, have been blocked. And, I can't manually change my proxy, dns, etc, either
[00:30] <Desez2tPunk> Enkidu_ak, I would like to start learning most of the terminal commands, for instance, I suppose you could say become "fluent" in using the terminal and knowing more about the outputs of info commands that I use. Non-boring as in not just a list but a tutorial or guide that eases you into learning it instead of drilling a list into your mind.
[00:30] <Desez2tPunk> Thanks for the response ubottu, will be sure to look at it
[00:32] <happyfr0gg> Yuken, too bad I am not with you or else I would have pwned their PC and helped you out. I have pwned a few library PCs in my day. Some of them are set up by noob network sys admins.
[00:32] <Enkidu_ak> Desez2tPunk, Again, need is really the key here. Just keep using it and eventually you will want to do something that you don't know how to do. If you are looking for a goal until you find some of your own interests, you can always pursue Linux From Scratch. You will learn more about terminal than you could ever wish for.
[00:33] <Desez2tPunk> Enkidu_ak, So then how would you suggest pursuing Linux from scratch?
[00:33] <Enkidu_ak> Desez2tPunk, http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ is a good place to start
[00:34] <rypervenche> Desez2tPunk: You might find that boring, lol. Try out http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php (click on Download it here) for a nice PDF on the command line.
[00:34] <Enkidu_ak> Desez2tPunk, Basically the guides there will walk you through building a linux system from the ground up
[00:35] <Desez2tPunk> Hmmm... Thanks for the responses Enkidu_ak and rypervenche we'll see where it leads :D
[00:35] <Enkidu_ak> Desez2tPunk, In addition to telling you which commands to use, they explain what the function of those commands are, what their various flags mean and why you are using them
[00:46] <happyfr0gg> Desez2tPunk - try these books ---> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10673945/
[00:49] <happyfr0gg> Enkidu_ak, which distro would benefit Desez2tPunk? Arch or Manjaro?
[00:50] <Enkidu_ak> happyfr0gg, If he wants to tinker and explore I would actually recommend Slackware
[00:50] <bazhang> happyfr0gg, since this is #ubuntu , thats hardly ontopic here
[00:50] <Enkidu_ak> bazhang, Fair point
[00:50] <bazhang> try ##linux please for that
[00:56] <tallymarkd> what up?
[01:02] <tallymarkd> hello world!
[01:04] <daftykins> tallymarkd: *not* a chat channel :)
[01:05] <Loshki> I want all sound on my ubuntu server to be redirected to a remote ubuntu desktop. I've only ever seen this work with rdp to a windows server. VNC seems to do everything I need *except* audio. Is there some pulseaudio magic? Does NX support this?
[01:06] <Latrodectus> loshki, why?
[01:07] <SchrodingersScat> Loshki: jack connecting everything to a mumble connection which then carries it to the other machine?  I've done it for music over mumble before, never tried for *
[01:07] <Enkidu_ak> Loshki, Pulseaudio does support remote sinks.
[01:08] <Enkidu_ak> Loshki, It's complicted, but well documented.
[01:09] <Loshki> SchrodingersScat Enkidu_ak thanks, will check out the pulseaudio docs, then mumble.
[01:09] <Loshki> Latrodectus: seriously? Because it's in there and I'm in here...
[01:10] <Latrodectus> ok
[01:11] <SchrodingersScat> Enkidu_ak: that's neat, thanks
[01:13] <Enkidu_ak> SchrodingersScat, I set it up to play with once a few years ago. Lots of fun, but I didn't really pay much attention to the settings and one of the other boxes in the house kept getting my audio streams by accident. Lots of fun, made for some awkward and hilarious moments.
[01:13] <Moonlightning> So…my /boot and /boot/efi partitions got overwritten
[01:15] <Moonlightning> Luckily the main partition seems to be fine
[01:15] <Moonlightning> I have the system booted to a liveusb, with said partition mounted, and I'm trying to figure out how to rebuild /boot and /boot/efi
[01:16] <Latrodectus> moonlighting, what version of ubuntu?
[01:16] <Moonlightning> Latrodectus: Utopic Unicorn.
[01:17] <Moonlightning> (i.e. 14.10)
[01:17] <Latrodectus> this might help http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/bootrepair.html
[01:18] <tallymarkd> i am in love with ubuntu
[01:21] <Latrodectus> tallymarkd, what do you like most about it?
[01:21] <Slade-> is there an easy way to set g+x on every directory within a tree
[01:21] <Slade-> chmod g+x btw ;P
[01:22] <Latrodectus> Slade, make a script
[01:23] <Latrodectus> slade- this might help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3740152/how-to-set-chmod-for-a-folder-and-all-of-its-subfolders-and-files-in-linux-ubunt
[01:23] <Slade-> Latrodectus, soon as i said it i realized i could just use find :p
[01:23] <Slade-> ah and thats what you pasted :)
[01:23] <Slade-> cool
[01:24] <Latrodectus> XD
[01:24] <tallymarkd> well, i just got it today. ive been trying for weeks. but then forgot, oops. but i guess i like how simple and fast it is. also all the apps and everything from windows i like, has some ubuntu equivalent like chromium, you know?
[01:25] <Moonlightning> Slade-: you could `chmod -R g+X` if you don't mind all the files that have any of [ugo]+x  set already also being set g+x
[01:26] <Slade-> Moonlightning, thats actually what i was looking for. i thought it existed but couldnt figure it out. cap X eh
[01:27] <Slade-> it was hard to spot the problem because they are also all S in the group execute spot :p
[01:27] <Moonlightning> :p
[01:27] <Guest56212> i didnt give my swap partition enough room and now i need to move my linux partition, but gparted says it will fail to boot. Help please? im trying to increase my swap partition
[01:27] <Moonlightning> Yeah, gotta read the manpage /carefully/
[01:27] <Moonlightning> easy to miss IIRC :)
[01:28] <Moonlightning> Latrodectus: boot-repair? Doesn't that start by trying to reinstall grub? 'cos I tried that already.
[01:28] <Moonlightning> It complained that it couldn't find the EFI directory.
[01:28] <Latrodectus> well shit
[01:29] <Moonlightning> Yeah.
[01:29] <Latrodectus> moonlighting, but can you still access the data?
[01:29] <Moonlightning> Latrodectus: I've spot-checked the main filesystem. Most of the stuff there seems to be intact.
[01:30] <Latrodectus> then swap it to a storage device, and then get a new hd
[01:31] <Latrodectus> or reformat the old one
[01:37] <drose379> Anyone have an issue where the lock screen freezes when waking up from hibernate? Using ubuntu/ running cinnamon DE
[01:39] <Latrodectus> in the past, i did
[01:39] <Arrick> Amm0n, I finally got the resolution to work on xubuntu tonight...
[01:40] <drose379> Latrodctus did you ever find a fix
[01:40] <Foxhoundz> what is the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade
[01:40] <Foxhoundz> and which one should I use to regularly update Ubuntu Server?
[01:40] <Latrodectus> nope, I think it was a combination of hardware and firmware
[01:41] <drose379> So you just didnt use hibernate?
[01:41] <Latrodectus> I now use lubuntu
[01:41] <drose379> Lubuntu?
[01:41] <drose379> Whats that
[01:41] <Latrodectus> lite-ubuntu
[01:41] <Latrodectus> based off lxte
[01:42] <drose379> oh ok ,just bought a brand new thinkpad
[01:42] <Latrodectus> http://lubuntu.net/
[01:42] <drose379> So it dont wanna have to run something light weight
[01:42] <drose379> Been having a ton of issues with this thing
[01:43] <Latrodectus> drose379 that explain's everything, theri have been tonnes of issues with linux and thinkpads
[01:43] <cbuckley> hi there, i have a question about upstart. how can i send a command if a process dies and is respawned?
[01:44] <drose379> Latrodecuts just recently? or forever?
[01:44] <Latrodectus> forever
[01:44] <drose379> What you thihnk I should do?
[01:44] <drose379> Return it?
[01:44] <Arrick> Whats a good web development tool that will highlight or tab complete tags that can be put onto xubuntu?
[01:44] <Amm0n> Arrick, nice, using lightdm to pass xrand?
[01:45] <Latrodectus> i think it is eithe a firmware issue (drivers)
[01:45] <Latrodectus> *i think it is probably a firmware issue (drivers)
[01:45] <Enkidu_ak> Foxhoundz, This person has a much more concise answer than what I was going to give you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/194651/why-use-apt-get-upgrade-instead-of-apt-get-dist-upgrade
[01:45] <Arrick> Amm0n, I followed the top section of http://askubuntu.com/questions/445957/why-dont-my-lightdm-conf-edits-affect-my-desktop-screen-resolution
[01:45] <Latrodectus> idk
[01:46] <Amm0n> Arrick, my gf is using aptana
[01:46] <Arrick> for web dev?
[01:46] <Foxhoundz> Hmm
[01:46] <Arrick> or is that a distro?
[01:46] <Foxhoundz> Enkidu_ak: so full-upgrade is just an alias for dist-upgrade
[01:46] <Foxhoundz> ?
[01:47] <Amm0n> web dev
[01:47] <Foxhoundz> *cough* Sublime
[01:48] <Arrick> to be honest, I just would like something that will highlight code and tab complete stuff (preferrably while the site is remote, and not have to ftp back and forth)
[01:48] <Enkidu_ak> Foxhoundz, Essentially, yes.
[01:49] <Foxhoundz> Arrick: vim.
[01:49] <Foxhoundz> or Sublime with an SFTP plugin
[01:49] <Enkidu_ak> Foxhoundz, The history of that alias is dull and contentious. You should look it up :D
[01:50] <Arrick> Foxhoundz, is that configurable to be easier on the eyes?
[01:50] <Foxhoundz> how much controversey would there be over an alias :p
[01:50] <Foxhoundz> Arrick: with a little elbow grease, yes
[01:50] <Latrodectus> you would be surprised
[01:50] <Arrick> lol
[01:50] <Enkidu_ak> Foxhoundz, I would like to answer that with "None, it would be silly to argue over such a thing", but I can't
[01:53] <Arrick> Amm0n, msg
[01:54] <apaukraine> 123
[01:57] <cluelessperson> is there any way to use a gpu card to run or handle some of the load for an ubuntu server?
[01:58] <Guest56212> lol
[01:59] <cluelessperson> Guest56212, what
[02:00] <Enkidu_ak> cluelessperson, I think that it is theoretically possible, but GPUs are not really great for that kind of processing.  :P
[02:01] <KaZ> h
[02:02] <KaZ> hello
[02:02] <Enkidu_ak> cluelessperson, Try it, it might work out. I'd be interested in seeing the source for a minecraft server that balanced the load with a GPU
[02:04] <Enkidu_ak> cluelessperson, You might start with rtkit-daemon as a model. It doesn't really mess with the GPU at all, but it does handle scheduling for dbus apps in userspace. I bet some of that could be adapted.
[02:06] <_raul> hey guys, quick question: i have a server, and an upstart script. same thing on 8 servers. at the same TIME, all 8 get killed and respawned ... 2-3 times. they're using upstart. Any clues why and what and where should i look for ? Upstart script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10674338/
[02:07] <bilb_ono> I need help accessing my modem's settings so I can set up my router. I am hooked up via ethernet right now to the internet. What ip should I enter into my browser to see the settings?
[02:08] <novak_br> linux was boring, because you needed to do everything (write the driver code, set the configurations and load the proper drivers)... now, linux is boring, because everything is done, you don't need to write the driver code, set the configurations, load the proper drivers...
[02:08] <bilb_ono> <IP_ADDRESS> doesn't seem to work
[02:09] <bilb_ono> nor <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:09] <bilb_ono> i know it will give me the right one in ifconfig but Im not sure which one I should use?
[02:09] <novak_br> I'm arrived right now, bilb_ono
[02:09] <novak_br> what do you want exactly?
[02:10] <bilb_ono> I want to set up my router ( name of the wifi and its password) I see online that I do this by connecting via ethernet (done), and then looking at the router's settings via <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:10] <bilb_ono> this doesn't resolve for me, so mine must be different
[02:10] <bilb_ono> I want to find it
[02:11] <novak_br> are you trying to find it by wifi connections?
[02:11] <bilb_ono> im not sure what that means. I don't even have wifi turned on right now. I am connected via ethernet
[02:11] <novak_br> first configuration should be made by cable connections...
[02:11] <bilb_ono> yeah I am
[02:11] <novak_br> ok
[02:11] <bilb_ono> now I want to setup wifi
[02:12] <novak_br> what is the brand/model/serie of your router?
[02:12] <bilb_ono> netgear n600
[02:12] <Bashing-om> bilb_ono: -> ip route show <- "default via" will be the router .
[02:14] <bilb_ono> Bashing-om, outputs this: https://bpaste.net/show/0ba522a89194
[02:14] <bilb_ono> which one is it?
[02:15] <Bashing-om> bilb_ono: default via <IP_ADDRESS> . Try that one .
[02:15] <novak_br> <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:16] <bilb_ono> Bashing-om, novak_br it can't be resolved in the browser at least: this webpage is not available
[02:16] <bilb_ono> though it seems I can ping it
[02:17] <novak_br> humm...
[02:17] <novak_br> bilb_ono, wait
[02:17] <novak_br> I'll brb
[02:18] <novak_br> bilb_ono, try http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:18] <novak_br> on your browser
[02:20] <novak_br> bilb_ono, can you get it?
[02:20] <novak_br> bilb_ono, did you get it?*
[02:21] <bilb_ono> novak_br, no "this webpage is not available"
[02:21] <bilb_ono> this one took a while though before failing
[02:22] <bilb_ono> and again I can ping it successfully
[02:22] <novak_br> something is wrong
[02:22] <MrRobinhood5> anyone has taken the ruby course in codecademy  ?
[02:23] <kikoo_> !java
[02:24] <novak_br> bilb_ono, what is model of modem like WNDR3400v2?
[02:24] <bilb_ono> novak_br, wait the router doesn't have to be plugged in or anything yet right?
[02:24] <bilb_ono> so far we are just doing modem stuff
[02:25] <bilb_ono> modem = motorola SB6121
[02:25] <novak_br> yeah, the router has to be plugged on computer at the first time
[02:25] <novak_br> to make the first settings
[02:25] <d2l> bindi: try http://<IP_ADDRESS> for modem
[02:26] <bilb_ono> d2l, I can't access that
[02:26] <novak_br> you use the ethernet cable
[02:26] <bilb_ono> novak_br, so the ethernet cable is plugged from the modem into my computer right?
[02:26] <bilb_ono> do I also plug something into the router?
[02:27] <bilb_ono> I only see 1 ethernet port on the modem
[02:27] <novak_br> do you want to share your internet via wifi, right?
[02:28] <d2l> bilb_ono: what exactly are you trying to accomplish right now? configure modem or router?
[02:28] <bilb_ono> d2l, I want to set up my router - the wifi name and password, etc.
[02:28] <bilb_ono> I have the modem plugged into my computer via ethernet so I know that part is working
[02:29] <bilb_ono> now I would like to plug it into my router and have the router route the signal all over my house via wifi
[02:29] <bilb_ono> idk what steps to take to do that
[02:29] <bilb_ono> oh and my computer is running ubuntu
[02:29] <novak_br> ok
[02:29] <bilb_ono> lol idk if that matters anymore
[02:29] <novak_br> let's start the begin
[02:30] <aldo> hi guys
[02:30] <aldo> how i can find "Vala" guide?
[02:31] <novak_br> your router and modem should be connect like that, bilb_ono  >>> http://prntscr.com/6l0z4q
[02:31] <drose379> Hey guys I could really use some help
[02:31] <bilb_ono> novak_br, ohh I see. so I need 2 ethernet cables
[02:31] <drose379> My brand new laptop running ubuntu is only charging one of the batteries to 79%
[02:31] <novak_br> bilb_ono, you don't make this connections yet, because you will stay out
[02:32] <novak_br> yeah, bilb_ono
[02:32] <drose379> Unless I unplug and plug it back in
[02:32] <bilb_ono> so Im gonna do that, get disconnected, and come back on
[02:32] <drose379> Im running 14.4.02 LTS, is there a more stable version I should be running?
[02:32] <novak_br> modem gets dsl signal from your ISP and it should be connect to router
[02:33] <novak_br> modem -> router -> computer
[02:33] <novak_br> bilb_ono, no no
[02:33] <novak_br> don't disconnect
[02:33] <novak_br> you need to know things before
[02:34] <bilb_ono> I think I know the configuration. modem to router
[02:34] <bilb_ono> router to comp

[02:36] <novak_br> the girl will teach how to connect everthing
[02:37] <brycetd19m> So while working on my hardware issues with ubuntu and other os's I've noted that unless I set the max hardware multiplier ubuntu hangs at 400mhz. Really sick of doing that and dealing with thermal throttling and such.
[02:37] <mrkirby153> Why is g++ so outdated?
[02:37] <mrkirby153> And how do I update?
[02:41] <brycetd19m> Anyone know why linux does that? It's the stupidest I have ever seen it..it's completely unable to manage or even see the cpu clock see speeds nor is it able to change them.
[02:41] <Latrodectus> ?
[02:42] <Latrodectus> brycetd19m, ?
[02:42] <novak_br> what, brycetd19m ?
[02:42] <novak_br> linux shows those things almost by default
[02:43] <lasdam1> hi all. I'm stuck in recovery mode because when I try to boot up normally I get stuck in low graphics mode just loading indefinitely. by pressing ESC I noticed the log was full of "start network manager OK", like at least 20 entries of that, and also Gnome Manager OK was entered twice.
[02:43] <lasdam1> all I think I did and could find that I did before this happened was remove selinux which I installed before and which did not cause this problem, as I rebooted several times without problems. I've opened up all top 10 entries from google and followed the various instructions, like re-install intel drivers, add some different repository,
[02:43] <lasdam1> reinstall ubuntu-desktop, reinstall gdm, and more. I'm basically out of ideas.
[02:45] <Latrodectus> lasbam1, what are your pc specks?
[02:45] <brycetd19m> Well on my system if I boot ubuntu or Debian or arch all of them have the same annoying problem. They system is completely unable to even check for a cpu speed higher then 400mhz. The only way to force it to is if I manually set the OC to the max multiplier and that makes it thermal throttle
[02:46] <lasdam1> it's an acer aspire 3830t, i5 cpu, 8gb ram, 500gb ssd, should be latest ubuntu version, and i64 architecture
[02:47] <Latrodectus> lasdam1, have you tried a fresh install? (reinstalling)
[02:50] <lasdam1> no, it's not that much of an emergency yet.. I'm pretty sure it would work, but I think it's way too early for that; re-installing is a pain too, not the installation process, but getting everything else installed, like all kind of tweaks, driver fixes, all of the additional software, backing up everything when I pretty much have my files kinda scattered, etc
[02:51] <lasdam1> it usually take me like a week to get everything installed and working again after a fresh install
[02:52] <lasdam1> I'm just pretty much a linux newb or so I consider myself, so I expected there to be more solutions/ideas to be tried out :S
[02:54] <Latrodectus> lasdam1, look at your log files
[02:56] <poetring> hi
[02:56] <poetring> suck my dick fuckers
[02:56] <lasdam1> yeah, I checked out Xconf.log.old, and I tried looking through it, but nothing immediately stuck out to me, but it's also a relatively large log file
[02:57] <lasdam1> it said something about driver not found, but it was for seemingly arbitrary devices, like the webcam and stuff, I'll try to find it again
[02:57] <Latrodectus> interesting
[02:58] <bilb_ono> novak_br, ok so I tried what the girl in the video said and failed.  I'm trying to upgrade with do-release-upgrade command (in sudo), from 14.04 to 14.10, and the program exits and tells me no new release is available
[03:04] <bilb_ono> and so I need to set the settings on <IP_ADDRESS>?
[03:04] <bilb_ono> or .2?
[03:04] <bilb_ono> I would need to figure that out first right? because I won't have network settings when I am trying to do this
[03:04] <novak_br> no, you need to get into http://www.routerlogin.net
[03:05] <novak_br> so you type: admin
[03:05] <novak_br> and
[03:05] <novak_br> admin
[03:05] <novak_br> http://prntscr.com/6l18kv
[03:06] <novak_br> bilb_ono, don't you have a manual of netgear n600?
[03:06] <novak_br> look that >>> http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNDR3400V2/WNDR3400v2_UM_23JAN2013.pdf
[03:15] <lasdam1> here's my full /var/log/Xorg.0.conf.old
[03:16] <lasdam1> http://pastebin.com/s9AmEhX3
[03:22] <Amm0n> lasdam1, dir you try to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[03:22] <Amm0n> did*
[03:22] <lasdam1> Amm0n: nope, and nothing seems to happen when I do :S
[03:23] <ANJ7> anyone would like to join ##explain ?
[03:24] <ANJ7> you are free to explain anything there? Mainly computers though
[03:24] <lasdam1> and no output in terminal, just the same prompt on a new line
[03:24] <Amm0n> lasdam1, and sudo X -configure?
[03:25] <RudeViper> Does anyone here understand the output of xrandr as it relates to HDMI? I have trying to figure out how I can get my Sanyo 32 inch tv to work on hdmi (it works on the pc input but only at 1024x768 resolution) without having to reconfigure on every boot or reboot.
[03:26] <lasdam1> root@al392j5tgj292ht8gh2:/home/john# X -configure
[03:26] <lasdam1> Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0. If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock (( I tried to condense this down to minimum amount of lines))
[03:27] <lasdam1> also same result as regular user using sudo instead of su
[03:28] <Amm0n> lasdam1, sudo service lightdm stop
[03:28] <Amm0n> then X -configure
[03:29] <lasdam1> stop: Unknown job: lightdm
[03:29] <lasdam1> but I can restart and run in terminal
[03:29] <lasdam1> probably
[03:30] <lasdam1> anything I should keep in mind while reconfigurating X? or do I just choose default values and report back here?
[03:30] <Amm0n> give it a try
[03:30] <Av4t4r> why are you reconfigurating?
[03:31] <lasdam1> Av4t4r: I'm stuck in recovery mode -> failsafe mode. trying to boot normally results in "low-graphics mode" and a frozen system, just Ubuntu loading screen for ever
[03:32] <Av4t4r> what's your video card?
[03:32] <lasdam1> intel hd 3000
[03:32] <Av4t4r> ah
[03:32] <Av4t4r> I see
[03:32] <Av4t4r> Netbook?
[03:32] <lasdam1> uhm yeah, or laptop
[03:33] <_raul> anyone can help me with a ulimit issue ? i've set security/limtis.conf and sysctl.conf ... rebooted, logged in as root, 1024 .. what am i missing ? it's ubuntu 14.04
[03:33] <Av4t4r> if yours belongs to the cedairtrail architecture, then the problem is you have an X version newer than the one the driver can use
[03:33] <Av4t4r> uh, sorry
[03:33] <Av4t4r> Kernel*
[03:33] <Av4t4r> Which leads to...well, that
[03:34] <Av4t4r> anyway, best of luck, gotta go
[03:34] <lasdam1> cedairtrail architecture... no idea what that is and how to find out if I have that. my laptop is an acer aspire 3830t, and it's an ia64 cpu, and the video card is a Sandybridge, that's all I know :P
[03:39] <bilb_ono> novak_br, so I was able to access that login screen and I set the password, and I disconnected my ethernet cable from my computer, and it worked!
[03:39] <bilb_ono> I could connect to the networks I made, except once connected, these have no network access
[03:40] <novak_br> cool, man, bilb_ono
[03:40] <bilb_ono> yet a direct line from the modem does work
[03:40] <bilb_ono> so something in the router itself is giving a bad signal?
[03:43] <bilb_ono> is there anything else to check?
[03:43] <novak_br> I am not going help you
[03:44] <novak_br> unfortunately, bilb_ono
[03:44] <novak_br> I can't help you right now
[03:44] <novak_br> I'm really sorry
[03:44] <novak_br> bilb_ono, you need to do something settings on the router pages
[03:44] <novak_br> read the manual, bilb_ono
[03:46] <thetrav> the /etc/network/interfaces file... it contains a bunch of iface statements... I have an example here that has a line with up <some ip command> and then down <some ip command>  which I assume is some sort of event handling thing...  my question is whether there's a name for it and/or a man page / document I can read to learn how it works in detail
[03:48] <Loshki> thetrav: start with "man ifup".
[03:48] <kian> Yo, running Lubuntu and it display sleeps after 15 minutes or less.
[03:48] <kian> Regardless of xfce4-power-manager settings, I uninstalled light-locker.
[03:48] <thetrav> thanks loshki
[03:48] <kian> I tried running xfce4-power-manager and not running it, regardless still display sleeps 10 or 15 minutes in.
[03:50] <Amm0n> kian, i think older versions of xfce4-power-manager were buggy
[03:51] <kian> Amm0n: ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[03:51] <kian> and when I stopped running it the problem persisted
[03:52] <_raul> anyone can help me with a ulimit issue ? i've set security/limtis.conf and sysctl.conf ... rebooted, logged in as root, 1024 .. what am i missing ? it's ubuntu 14.04
[03:54] <Latrodectus> kian, I had the same problem, and I fixed it, but that was about 2 years ago. I forget what I did, but their is a fix
[03:56] <Enkidu_ak> Kian, are you still around?
[03:56] <kian> Enkidu_ak: yup
[03:57] <kian> Enkidu_ak: what's up?
[03:57] <Enkidu_ak> The problem is light-locker and possibly the screensaver blanking timer.
[03:57] <kian> Enkidu_ak: Light-locker was uninstalled
[03:57] <kian> Enkidu_ak: performed apt-get purge light-locker
[03:57] <Enkidu_ak> Then try xset s off
[03:58] <Enkidu_ak> Let it sit and see if it turns off.
[03:58] <kian> Enkidu_ak: I believe I tried umm
[03:58] <kian> xset s 0 0
[03:58] <Enkidu_ak> You might also need to supply xset -dpms
[03:59] <kian> Enkidu_ak: okay I'll have to give that a try tomorrow
[03:59] <Enkidu_ak> And of course make sure that you have unticked the box in xfpm that lets it manage power for the display, though you have probably already done that.
[03:59] <kian> Enkidu_ak: I have not done that, please elaborate
[04:00] <kian> Enkidu_ak: also is xset s 0 0 and xset off the same?
[04:00] <kian> I just want xfce4-power-manager to work properly since it's easy to set what I want :\
[04:00] <Enkidu_ak> kian, I believe they are the same, but it doesn't hurt to send xset s off just in case
[04:01] <Enkidu_ak> Run xfce4-power-manager-settings
[04:01] <Enkidu_ak> In the General and Display tabs you should see some check boxes that are worth exploring.
[04:02] <kian> Wow...
[04:02] <Enkidu_ak> Wait, I am in the wrong channel... Er, you are using xfce, yes?
[04:02] <kian> Enkidu_ak: no I'm using lubuntu
[04:03] <kian> LXDE I believe?
[04:03] <kian> but it comes with xfce4-power-manager
[04:03] <kian> I just can't believe I didn't see that checkbox
[04:03] <Enkidu_ak> Oh, happy coincidence, then
[04:03] <Amm0n> kian, which version of xfce4-power-manager you are on?
[04:03] <kian> Amm0n: How can I check?
[04:04] <kian> Enkidu_ak: So should I still set xset s off and xset -dpms?
[04:04] <Latrodectus> lubuntu is great, but it can be buggy as shit when it wants to...
[04:04] <Amm0n> just try to install again via apt
[04:04] <Enkidu_ak> kian, Well, really we should limit the changes to one thing at a time to isolate the problem, but you can.
[04:05] <Amm0n> xset settings don't survive a reboot
[04:05] <kian> Amm0n: "xfce4-power-manager is already the newest version."
[04:05] <Enkidu_ak> They don't, but you can make them a permanent part of your X conf once you identify the issue.
[04:06] <Enkidu_ak> If unticking those boxes works then you shouldn't have to worry about xset
[04:06] <kian> xset -dpms and the checkbox in xfce4-power-manager perform the same task, no?
[04:06] <kian> Enkidu_ak: there was only 1 box I unchecked
[04:06] <kian> the one involving dpms
[04:06] <Enkidu_ak> However, as Amm0n has pointed out, xfpm can be trying.
[04:07] <kian> Enkidu_ak: xfpm?
[04:07] <Enkidu_ak> kian, Alright, now wait and see
[04:07] <Enkidu_ak> kian, That's short for xfce power manager
[04:07] <kian> Enkidu_ak: ahh
[04:07] <Enkidu_ak> LEss typing for the old and lazy, of which I am both
[04:07] <Amm0n> kian, dpkg -s xfce4-power-manager
[04:08] <Amm0n> i think you are on 1.4.3
[04:08] <Amm0n> 1.4.4 is newest from xfce4
[04:08] <kian> Version: 1.2.0-3ubuntu4.1
[04:08] <Enkidu_ak> I'm really quite happy with Vivid
[04:08] <Amm0n> powermanger never worked for me since a few updates
[04:09] <kian> Amm0n: so I'm outdated, no?
[04:09] <Amm0n> so wait for an update and use xset
[04:09] <Amm0n> till it get fixed
[04:09] <Amm0n> yes you are
[04:09] <kian> can't I download and install the latest version?
[04:10] <delinquentme> ok cool so the errors I've been having seem to be related to compiz
[04:10] <Enkidu_ak> kian, Maybe. It depends largely on the dependencies involved.
[04:10] <kian> Enkidu_ak: worth giving a shot?
[04:11] <Enkidu_ak> kian, Just make sure that you read the fine print :D
[04:11] <kian> Enkidu_ak: pardon haha?
[04:11] <Enkidu_ak> delinquentme, Which issues are those?
[04:11] <Enkidu_ak> kian, Notes on dependencies, related issues, etc.
[04:11] <kian> Enkidu_ak: how can I go about doing that?
[04:13] <Enkidu_ak> kian, If you are going to download the latest version as a debian package then you should check the dependencies listed in the repo.
[04:14] <Amm0n> there was a major update on xfce4 i'd wait for that kian
[04:14] <Enkidu_ak> I would also recommend waiting, for the record. Just that  if you are going to attempt to update it manually then do your homework
[04:15] <kian> Enkidu_ak: :\ hmmm
[04:15] <kian> soooo the xset commands are my friend for now?
[04:15] <Enkidu_ak> kian, So it seems :)
[04:15] <Amm0n> xset -dpms & xset s off
[04:16] <kian> Can I set those on boot?
[04:16] <Enkidu_ak> Rather than making changes to your xorg conf, I would simply create a small script and put it in my autostart
[04:16] <kian> hate to ask but care to guide me?
[04:16] <Enkidu_ak> That way you don't have to set it manually each time, but you don't have it carrying over on the next major update
[04:17] <Enkidu_ak> I don't know how LXDE handles startup scripts, but the script itself is fairly straight forward. Give me a second and I'll pastebin an example.
[04:18] <Enkidu_ak> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10674898/
[04:19] <kian> Enkidu_ak: so place this...
[04:20] <Enkidu_ak> kian, Again, I don't know how LXDE handles startup scripts. Check under your system settings, see if there is a session and startup option.
[04:23] <kian> Enkidu_ak: might have something here..
[04:24] <Enkidu_ak> kian, I definitely have something here. Mine is a tin of mints. What's yours?
[04:24] <kian> Enkidu_ak: hehe
[04:24] <kian> there is an application
[04:25] <kian> "autostart" tab
[04:25] <kian> but no idea how to add a script in there
[04:25] <Enkidu_ak> That's the one
[04:25] <Enkidu_ak> I suspect that is is much like the xfce session manager or that it might actually be the xfce session manager.
[04:25] <Enkidu_ak> Is there a button on the bottom-left that is marked "Add"?
[04:26] <kian> top left
[04:26] <Enkidu_ak> Ok, start there
[04:26] <kian> Enkidu_ak: http://a.pomf.se/aqkrzu.png
[04:26] <Enkidu_ak> Name and Decription can be anything that you like. I suggest something descriptive.
[04:27] <kian> Enkidu_ak: manually adding just kinda adds in
[04:27] <kian> no other options
[04:27] <Enkidu_ak> That looks like it wants a path. Try putting the path to your script in the box and then click add
[04:27] <jiacao> hello
[04:28] <kian> if I save your script
[04:28] <kian> should I save it as a .sh file?
[04:30] <Enkidu_ak> kian, I don't know if that is strictly required so long as it has the correct permissions, but it is a good convention to follow.
[04:30] <kian> chmod +x on the file, yes?
[04:30] <Enkidu_ak> kian, a+x
[04:30] <kian> so, chmod a+x script.sh?
[04:30] <Enkidu_ak> Yes
[04:31] <kian> Enkidu_ak: sweet, thank you so much
[04:31] <Enkidu_ak> kian, Not a problem
[04:31] <kian> Going to head to sleep and I'll update you guys tomorrow to see how it goes :)
[04:33] <Enkidu_ak> kian, Good night
[04:47] <Licht21> meh
[04:59] <code42> Hello
[05:07] <ajat> Hi
[05:08] <Gentools> hi
[05:09] <Latrodectus> so why has linux failed as a desktop lo far?
[05:10] <Ullarah> It's failed?
[05:11] <Latrodectus> look at the market share for usage as a desktop
[05:20] <agent_white> moin
[05:21] <Latrodectus> ?
[05:23] <agent_white> Latrodectus: Short for 'good morning' :)
[05:24] <Latrodectus> ah, thx
[05:25] <ajat> HellO
[05:35] <wafflejock> Latrodectus, lack of consumer and professional software that desktop users have traditionally wanted or needed, things being more web driven has made that less of an issue, Steam building on linux and openining up the marketplace to existing linux users is helpful but this is better discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:36] <Latrodectus> ok
[05:36] <promobi> hello guys
[05:38] <promobi> anyone wants to chat ?
[05:40] <Sachiru> promobi: I believe that this is ubuntu support? Not Dating-For-Singles?
[05:41] <DJJeff> pressing page down in a terminal is sending the ~ key how do I stop this
[05:42] <DJJeff> is there a quick dirty way to see my keyboard bindings and layout settings
[05:43] <adammm> hey guys, this is a silly question but, if i have ext hard drives in ntfs format, will linux wish to format them in its own format or ?
[05:44] <Ullarah> adammm, no, it should mount them fine.
[05:44] <ai6pg> My fellow Americans - can  we help  fix this: http://bit.ly/1EsNpvr
[05:45] <Latrodectus> djjeff, nano ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[05:45] <adammm> Ullarah only reason why im asking is when i tried to transfer files from my macbook to a ntfs drive it wouldnt do it, havent tried it with ubuntu to ntfs as yet
[05:45] <Ullarah> adammm, mac osx doesn't have write support for ntfs.
[05:46] <adammm> yeh i figured that much out :P i suppose my question should of been does linux have write support for ntfs :P thanks heaps Ullarah
[06:35] <ANJ7> !ping
[06:35] <ANJ7> !pong
[06:36] <ANJ7> good ubottu :D
[06:42] <lasdam> so trying to resolve my "ubuntu in low-graphic mode" -> frozen system, and having tried reinstalling gdm, gnome, ubuntu-desktop, +++, I acted on the advice from someone here I think some hours ago, to do X -configure. the error message from that is "Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices".
[06:45] <ruslan_osmanov> hi, how do I fix 'BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5' error? I tried apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5 , then apt-get clean; apt-get update dozens of times. Removing /var/lib/apt/lists, then making dir lists/partial doesn't help either.
[06:45] <ruslan_osmanov> it's xubuntu precise
[06:46] <Trinity> hi guys, i'm using xubuntu and everything is running fine except my internet speed. I did a bit of digging and have come to believe that I have an issue with DNS
[06:46] <Trinity> i tried Chrome and its blazingly faster than mozilla
[06:47] <Trinity> what DNS options should i be changing?
[07:03] <MK-Live> Hey can you guys assist me? I just copied the partitions of a linux installation to a new, larger HD using gparted, but I can't seem to get it to boot. I set the /boot partition to bootable, but I'm unsure what to do next.
[07:03] <MK-Live> I'm using a live CD, the partitions mount just fine, just doesn't seem to want to boot on its own from HD
[07:04] <researcher1> how can I listen port 80 in Ubuntu 14.04?
[07:13] <Loshki> MK-Live: there is a master boot record you also need. Copy the mbr or try the grub recovery http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd
[07:13] <Adolfoasir2015> bon dia
[07:17] <MK-Live> I'll try that Loshki, thanks
[07:19] <ANJ7> in Qt ubuntu Plain c++ project how can I clear the console screen?
[07:23] <svetlana> I am trying to switch to systemd as the init system. Why does the package manager say that ubuntu-minimal needs to be removed, then?
[07:26] <htqp> svetlana: just a guess: because it depends on upstart? http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/ubuntu-minimal
[07:27] <svetlana> htqp: ubuntu-minimal is described as the essential package required for me to have working network and a working package manager. why does such package depend on upstart?
[07:27] <htqp> svetlana: no idea, but, since it is a metapackage (serves to bring down dependencies and brings nothing real on its own) you may safely remove it
[07:28] <MK-Live> Ah, I am using a newer liveCD... and now read I should have used the same one. Hopefully that didn't break anything
[07:29] <Noah123> Someone here can guide me through the install in PM?
[07:30] <svetlana> Noah123: this is a public channel. if you don't want to give details in public, contact Canonical
[07:31] <Noah123> Who's Canonical?
[07:31] <Noah123> An IRC user?
[07:32] <svetlana> Noah123: Canonical is the company that runs the Ubuntu distro development. http://www.ubuntu.com/support left bottom corner for private support
[07:33] <svetlana> Noah123: there are support services for which you don't need to pay, but they are all public - this irc channel is logged to the web, as is the forum and the mailing list. if you're comfortable with asking the full question here, someone would be glad to answer it, but not in PM
[07:34] <UsEr01_> #join #kw
[07:34] <Noah123> svetlana: this is not about personal information. I want to keep all the information in one place - without other messages so I can see what's next, then PM would be better as I need help, now ...
[07:34] <cfhowlett> !install | Noah123
[07:35] <svetlana> Noah123: just ignore these other messages. if they are worrying, asking at the forum would work (the mailing list also makes you read others' messages)
[07:35] <Noah123> Dual Boot is what I want and I have already read it. I have 80 GB unallocated space I wanna use when I install (swap partition and primary?)
[07:35] <Noah123> I have no idea what to do
[07:36] <cfhowlett> Noah123, ubuntu offers the "install next OS" option = dual boot
[07:36] <svetlana> make backups, run the installer, it'll take care of this for you
[07:36] <Noah123> I'm using Kubuntu, though ...
[07:36] <svetlana> that's okay, kubuntu and ubuntu can dual boot together
[07:37] <cfhowlett> Noah123, same OS, different flavor
[07:37] <svetlana> yes
[07:37] <Noah123> Well, I wanna dual boot Windows & Kubuntu
[07:37] <Noah123> Currently I have Windows
[07:37] <Noah123> Kubuntu on a USB
[07:37] <svetlana> yeah, the kubuntu installer will take care of the partitioning for you. just in case you should back up your valuable information first.
[07:37] <cfhowlett> Noah123, 1.  boot the USB   2. choose "install next to OS" option
[07:37] <svetlana> 0. make backups
[07:37] <svetlana> (sorry)
[07:38] <cfhowlett> :)  svetlana true.  well said!
[07:38] <svetlana> :)
[07:39] <htqp> see? PM does not give you that kind of peer review
[07:39] <shiv> hi
[07:39] <Noah123> Well, it does not have a "install next to OS" option
[07:39] <shiv> everyone
[07:40] <shiv> i am new to SNMP and want to integrate it with my voyage OS device, i want to integrate basic mgmt MIB
[07:40] <shiv> can anyone let me know how to start on it ?
[07:40] <MK-Live> Loshki: worked perfectly, system boots without issue now. Thank you very much.
[07:48] <michel_> good morning
[07:48] <svetlana> hi michel_
[07:49] <Tazmain> Hi all, I am considering getting a GTX 980 or ati R9 290x, but I don't know which has the better driver support for linux, I want to use my dual screens and also play games any input ?
[07:49] <svetlana> which games
[07:50] <michel_> hi @svetlana :)
[07:52] <Tazmain> svetlana, games that are native to linux . But my biggest consider is more the driver and running dual screens. I don't want driver issues
[07:54] <michel_> i think on linux not to play games, but i thin on realy work with it :)
[08:01] <svetlana> Tazmain: ok a minute
[08:03] <spv> hello
[08:07] <dreamcat4> hello there. i'm trying to get a core dump file from inside of a docker container. on ubuntu 14.10 + docker 1.5.0
[08:08] <dreamcat4> the image inside the container is ubuntu-debootstrap:14.04
[08:09] <dreamcat4> i've tried changing my core pattern to /tmp/core.%blah%fmt%args... but whatever i do I can't seem to find any core files afterwards
[08:09] <svetlana> Tazmain: ati stuff are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#Fully_Supported, and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD (from AMD itself I think), so that should work
[08:09] <svetlana> not with the free one, but with the proprietary one looks like it should work
[08:13] <michel_> which window manager are you use??
[08:13] <dreamcat4> ah! my ulimit was not actually unlimited inside the container. will re-try
[08:13] <dreamcat4> dammn that ulimit cmd saying 'unlimited' when it was not. ulimit ; ulimit -c giving different results
[08:14] <zetheroo> is adding a user to the sudoers group the same as giving them root access?
[08:15] <ikonia> zetheroo: no
[08:15] <ikonia> zetheroo: it is giving the user privileges to run approved commands as root
[08:15] <ikonia> in ubuntu's case all commands
[08:15] <ikonia> that is still different than being the root user
[08:18] <zetheroo> ikonia: so in Ubuntu adding the user to the sudoers file is giving them less power than the root user has?
[08:18] <ikonia> it depends on your definition of power
[08:18] <ikonia> zetheroo: what is the actual problem/issue, as context may help
[08:19] <zetheroo> ok sorry - we would like to reserve root access to only the IT admins, but give users the ability to use sudo to perform some tasks, such as install/remove packages and edit apache configs etc ...
[08:20] <zetheroo> if I add the user to the sudoers file as such "userbob    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" is that more or less making userbob like root?
[08:21] <ikonia> zetheroo: ok, so  you need 2 different groups, you need to leave the sudo group for your admins, and then create a second group with a defined set of commands
[08:21] <ikonia> zetheroo: with respect, if you don't know this level of basics of sudo - you really should consider not being in the sudo group yourself
[08:21] <ikonia> and ask the other it admins who may have more experience than you
[08:21] <zetheroo> I only access using root ..
[08:21] <ikonia> as a bad sudo rule can either leave your box wide open (as your suggestion would have) or leave it unused
[08:22] <ikonia> zetheroo: then who / what are the "it admins" you want to give sudo access to ?
[08:22] <ikonia> zetheroo: the sudo group will give the user the ability to run any command as a privileged (root) user
[08:22] <ikonia> that doesn't strike me as something you want in this case
[08:23] <zetheroo> we are two IT admins - we both access with root - then there are the users who "administer" the VM's/CT's ... they need the ability to install/remove packages and edit configs
[08:23] <ikonia> zetheroo: ok so you are not the only user with root access
[08:23] <ikonia> zetheroo: have you talked to the other guy about how to manage the groups/elevated permisisions
[08:24] <zetheroo> no, sorry that was a misunderstanding ...I was saying that I only use root access ... not that I am the only one using root access
[08:24] <bojan> i want to mount /proc to /opt/ltsp/amd64/proc permanently....Can anybody help me??
[08:24] <zetheroo> ikonia: he is a Windows guy more than anything :)
[08:24] <ikonia> bojan: a bind mount
[08:24] <ikonia> zetheroo: so you need to created a seperate admin group, and maybe even command alias group (depending on how many commands the others will need)
[08:25] <bojan> ikonia:i cant understand can u pls tell me bit clearly
[08:25] <ikonia> then define that in the sudoers file
[08:25] <ikonia> bojan: research "bind mount" or "mount -o bind"
[08:25] <zetheroo> ok, apart from limiting commands is it also possible to limit where they can use those commands?
[08:25] <bojan> If i do mount -o bind will it be mount permanently??
[08:26] <ikonia> zetheroo: what do you mean where ? hosts or directories ?
[08:26] <zetheroo> directories
[08:26] <ikonia> bojan: that will mount it for that session, you need to edit /etc/fstab to make it perm
[08:26] <ikonia> zetheroo: that doesn't really make sense
[08:26] <ikonia> zetheroo: as you can execte anything from anywhere if you know the path
[08:26] <losh> hi, does anyone know if ubuntu provides a netboot which contains the mdraid grub2 modules?
[08:26] <ikonia> zetheroo: can you give me an example of what/why you'd want that
[08:27] <zetheroo> ikonia: ok I see ...
[08:27] <zetheroo> we say I want to let them edit a config in /etc/apache2 but not anywhere else in /
[08:27] <ikonia> zetheroo: ok so thats not running a command, thats a target
[08:27] <ikonia> zetheroo: and yes, you can do that
[08:28] <zetheroo> ok, so specifying a target ...
[08:28] <ikonia> I suspect (and this is only a guess from what you are saying) you'll be better setting up a command alias group listing all the commands including targets you expect these guys to need, makg a group say "cfgman" add those users to that group and bind that group to the command alias group in the sudoers file
[08:29] <swatti> ! sli
[08:29] <swatti> ! nvidia
[08:29] <zetheroo> ikonia: ok thanks - I will read up on this a bit more ... :)
[08:29] <swatti> anyone using Nvidia SLI (ubuntu 14.04)?
[08:29] <jonas___> i did
[08:30] <jonas___> 2x gtx 460
[08:30] <jonas___> had some microstuttering by moments
[08:30] <swatti> how installed?
[08:32] <swatti> i have lenovo y510p 750m sli
[08:33] <bojan> ikonia:pls help me with the entry to be exactly do in fstab??
[08:33] <Ben64> swatti: if you install connected to the internet, it should install the necessary drivers for you
[08:34] <bojan> how to give entry in /etc/fstab for mounting /proc to /opt/ltsp/amd64/proc permanently??
[08:34] <swatti> Ben64 will not work correctly
[08:34] <ikonia> swatti: are you %100 you want to use sli - and you've not just got the model with the dual chip
[08:34] <ikonia> bojan: as I said research bind mount
[08:34] <Ben64> swatti: how so
[08:35] <ikonia> swatti: eg: did you put an extra card in the ultra bay or not
[08:35] <bojan> ikonia:but that bind will work for only this session right??
[08:35] <ikonia> bojan: right, and you can use that command to put into the fstab
[08:35] <swatti> I do not use it but the colleague :D
[08:35] <ikonia> you still need a bind mount
[08:35] <ikonia> swatti: I'll rephrase the question "is there a second physical card in the ultra bay"
[08:36] <FishingArk> Hello. Currently having issues with my mouse not wanting to work. i have to replug it in, sometimes every 5 seconds or so. every mouse i used has had this issue.
[08:36] <ikonia> FishingArk: usb mouse ?
[08:36] <FishingArk> yes
[08:36] <ikonia> FishingArk: sound like your usb ports are resetting
[08:36] <ikonia> FishingArk: rather than the mouse
[08:37] <FishingArk> could be. i have to change the port each time
[08:37] <ObrienDave> FishingArk, i had the same problem, i bought a logitech m510 wireless mouse, no more problem
[08:37] <ikonia> FishingArk: that would make sense as the ports will often lock if they are resetting
[08:37] <yjmxhdq> ?
[08:37] <FishingArk> is there a way to stop that?
[08:38] <ikonia> FishingArk: depends why it's resetting, it be a bad / poorly supported chipset (not often these days for usb) or power managment support could be trying to reset them with bad power management
[08:39] <ikonia> FishingArk: a few things can cause that, although some are quite rare for on usb ports due to them being pretty much standard and well supported now
[08:39] <swatti> 2 system use, windows 7 and ubuntu. use 2 physical card to windows, but boot ubuntu not working 2. card, so remove the 2. card and boot correcly
[08:39] <ikonia> swatti: is there a second physical card in the ultra bay, yes/no
[08:39] <IIT_> how to chk my terminal dispays 256 colors or not ?
[08:40] <swatti> not always want to take out the second card
[08:40] <SkpS> FishingArk: do you have other usb devices that are stable?
[08:40] <ikonia> IIT_: there are example shell scripts on the net
[08:40] <FishingArk> things seemed to be working fine for the longest time. then one day all of a sudden this started happening. after being belittled i was told i need a new mobo but im afraid to drop the money and then it still be an issue
[08:40] <ObrienDave> FishingArk, i had the same problem, i bought a logitech m510 wireless mouse, no more problem
[08:41] <ikonia> FishingArk: if it was working and then stopped it is possible it's a hardware problem, but it's also possible a software update has broken something such (for example) power management
[08:41] <swatti> ikonia yes ultra bay
[08:41] <ikonia> swatti: thank you
[08:41] <Ben64> ObrienDave, FishingArk: yeah i'd try a new mouse before a new motherboard for sure
[08:41] <FishingArk> ive tried a few different mouses so far
[08:41] <FishingArk> same issue
[08:41] <FishingArk> mice*
[08:41] <ObrienDave> wireless or corded?
[08:41] <FishingArk> originally i thought my mouse was going bad so i got a new one
[08:41] <FishingArk> all corded so far
[08:41] <FishingArk> since i mainly game
[08:42] <ObrienDave> SO? try a wireless logitech
[08:42] <ikonia> FishingArk: it maybe useful, if you could remove the file /var/log/syslog, reboot the machine without the mouse in, plug the mouse in, what for it to break, and then post /var/log/syslog into a pastebin please
[08:42] <ikonia> FishingArk: that way we maybe able to see why it's restting the usb  port
[08:42] <geirha> IIT_: num_colors=$(tput colors); if (( num_colors >= 256 )); then printf 'Terminal supports 256 colors\n'; fi
[08:42] <IIT_> ikonia, ok
[08:42] <ikonia> FishingArk: another test would be to use a non-mouse device into the usb port, and see if that remains stable
[08:42] <IIT_> geirha, thanks :) chk right away
[08:43] <FishingArk> if i use a usb flashdrive it will have problems as well
[08:43] <geirha> I know gnome-terminal supports 256 colors, but unfortunately last I checked, it had no way to relay that information
[08:43] <geirha> (i.e. tput colors will output 8)
[08:43] <IIT_> wow it supports 256 colors :D
[08:44] <ikonia> FishingArk: ok, so it sounds like the ports are resetting, I'd suggest you follow the test I suggested first

[08:52] <FishingArk> hopefully thats the right info
[08:52] <ikonia> swatti: pardon ?
[08:52] <dohzer> anyone here know much about Eclipse?
[08:53] <ikonia> FishingArk: can you show me the output of "uname -a" on your system please
[08:53] <ikonia> FishingArk: that pastebin entry, at that point has the mouse failed or is it still working
[08:53] <swatti> ikonia nv sli install :)
[08:53] <FishingArk> it failed and then i replugged it
[08:53] <ikonia> swatti: what about it ?
[08:53] <ikonia> FishingArk: thats annoying there is nothing in that log to show it disconnect or the port lock

[08:54] <ikonia> or usb 2

[09:01] <FishingArk> So the way things are looking I'm out of luck?
[09:04] <zetheroo> would anyone know how to troubleshoot this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10675878/ ?
[09:04] <zetheroo> seems like SSH is barking up the wrong tree :)
[09:05] <zetheroo> how do I change the SSH route? The IP should be .35 not .59
[09:10] <niche_> anyone know how to change the "Activities" to something different in Ubuntu-Gnome?
[09:12] <ikonia> zetheroo: ssh is nothing to do with routing
[09:13] <ikonia> zetheroo: and executing /bin/true will log you out straight away
[09:13] <ikonia> zetheroo: sort your networking out
[09:14] <zetheroo> ikonia: ok thanks - looks like my SSH keys got messed up :P
[09:14] <ikonia> zetheroo: "no route to host" is not ssh keys
[09:15] <FishingArk> thanks for the help all
[09:22] <gaucer_> hi, smbd using xfce?
[09:28] <IIT_> why i have to source .bashrc each time on startup ? to load 256 terminal color support ?
[09:29] <shiv> i am new to SNMP and want to integrate it with my voyage OS device, i want to integrate basic mgmt MIB
[09:29] <shiv> can anyone let me know how to start on it ?
[09:34] <Stifler> shiv, vague but I guess your looking to manage devices using SNMP. Start with Nagios perhaps (there are other SNMP managers out there)
[09:36] <zetheroo>  ikonia: thanks - was like you said - bad entry in the hosts file
[09:41] <svenx> it seems i have to install 'language-pack-en-base' to obtain basic en_US locale support, contrary to Debian's behaviour. is that correct?
[09:42] <svenx> i don't need translations or anything, just the locale. «-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)»
[09:47] <herol3oy> how can i rename a file while it appears like ?????? in terminal? (can i define for example i want to rename this file with X size to Y name?)
[09:49] <svenx> herol3oy: yeah, you could always work around it with something like «find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -size 123c -exec mv "{}" newname \;»
[09:49] <svenx> herol3oy: you would want to verify that the find command only matches that one file, though: «find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -size 123c -ls»
[09:50] <crane_> hi folks
[09:50] <crane_> whats the safe way to add user to sudoers
[09:50] <crane_> so it can act as admin with sudo
[09:55] <herol3oy> svenx: hey thanks. can i say just show me that file which is bigger than 2 GB? (there is only one file with size of 2 GB????)
[09:56] <svenx> herol3oy: yeah, with -size +2G
[09:57] <herol3oy> svenx: so it's gonna be like : find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -size +2G
[09:58] <crypt1d> crane_, you should add the user to a group, eg "admins" and then match that group to a sudo rule
[09:58] <crypt1d> but you should avoid directly adding that user to a sudoers profile.
[09:58] <svenx> herol3oy: yeah. try it out to see if it lists anything
[10:00] <crane_> cryptd how come?
[10:01] <crane_> now I cant even ssh as this user
[10:01] <swatti> oh yes sli work:) sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-settings nvidia-prime and set sudo nvidia-xconfig -sli=auto -multigpu=auto
[10:02] <crypt1d> the idea is that if a user gets deleted, the sudo rule stays...so if, by any chance, another use with the same name gets created it will inherit its sudo rights even though you may not have intended this...So you may have a security issue
[10:02] <crypt1d> on the other hand, if you use some custom group, once the user gets deleted it will not have the same group membership once its recreated
[10:02] <EriC^^> that's pretty neat
[10:03] <rt2500usb> Hi is there a solution for the imidiatly disconect "wlan0 deautenticate from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx   from locak choice reason 3" i  serch a lot but cant find a fix. is this problem solved in 14.04.2?
[10:04] <rt2500usb> my card iuses rt2500usb
[10:06] <nextbox> what's the difference between keepass and keepassX ?
[10:08] <rt2500usb> since i abandon my12.04 lts  my wiki keeps geting disconected
[10:08] <IceBot3000> nextbox: KeepassX is the cross-platform port, as Keepass was only for Windows
[10:08] <nextbox> OH I see =)
[10:08] <nextbox> so it's the same in functionality
[10:09] <IceBot3000> nextbox: But KeepassX is only compatible with the v1 format of Keepass files, so if you generated a load of passwords in the latest Windows version of Keepass, KeepassX couldn't read them
[10:10] <abdel> Hello Please I have an issue, I have the latest skype on ubuntu 14.04.....I cannot send offline video messages, any idea why it is so?
[10:10] <delinquentme> so I updated i believe to be a few graphcs compiz related things and now once I login ... everything is black ... and I"ve gotten an error with something mentioning unity and compiz ... which makes sense as its the display and pretty things which aren't working when i boot up
[10:12] <delinquentme> so how do I repair compiz and how can I see a copy / pasteable error that are shown in the ubuntu failure popups
[10:12] <abdel> Hello Please I have an issue, I have the latest skype on ubuntu 14.04.....I cannot send offline video messages, any idea why it is so?
[10:17] <IceBot3000> abdel: Sorry, Skype is closed-source
[10:17] <abdel> how do you mean closed source
[10:17] <Stifler> is there a #skype ? Please try their help desk abdel, this is #ubuntu
[10:18] <abdel> i came here because its working in other OS except ubuntu , its perculiar to ubuntu
[10:19] <abdel> everything is working except the offline video message
[10:19] <Stifler> abdel, Closed source means we cannot 'see how it works'. Ask the manufacturer.
[10:21] <niche_> hello
[10:22] <lotuspsychje> niche_: welcome
[10:23] <mojes> hi
[10:27] <umbra_purus> hey
[10:27] <umbra_purus> How can I list the users in my operative system?
[10:28] <umbra_purus> in terminal?
[10:28] <umbra_purus> Hello?
[10:28] <Stifler> list active users or all users?
[10:28] <k1l> umbra_purus: less /etc/group
[10:30] <mojes> hi is there a way to configure the hot conners to get new workspace
[10:31] <umbra_purus> no k1l. that command only doesn't show the users only. Can i found a way to grep it?
[10:31] <Stifler> umbra_purus, to show who is logged in the command is 'who'
[10:34] <umbra_purus> yes i know but i wanted to list the users
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> umbra_purus: users is terminal?
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> in
[10:34] <Stifler> umbra_purus, does 'cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd' do what you want?
[10:35] <mojes> hi please help with my question anyone?
[10:35] <lotuspsychje> mojes: you can try with ccsm and configure
[10:36] <Stifler> umbra_purus, 'all users' or all 'users logged in' or 'all users logged in at a terminal only'?
[10:36] <IIT_> why is that i have to each time do source .bashrc on boot ?
[10:36] <IIT_> also .profile
[10:36] <k1l> umbra_purus: i think you mean "human users only" but linux doesnt make a difference between human users and users just for programs (like www-data for webserver)
[10:37] <delinquentme> Default compiz install location on ubuntu 14.04?
[10:37] <lotuspsychje> delinquentme: try the whereis command from terminal
[10:37] <umbra_purus> yes that is it
[10:37] <umbra_purus> k1l
[10:37] <umbra_purus> so how can i grep it
[10:39] <k1l> umbra_purus: what yes? Stifler gave a command that lists all users
[10:39] <Stifler> you want -f1,3 then perhaps
[10:39] <mojes> lotuspsychje: sory am new to linux but i read somewhere that i go to menu  then preferences then hot conners but unfortunately i don hav system in my menu can you help?
[10:40] <FishingArk> Hello, earlier I was in here with disconnecting issues. After it happened a few more times I just let it sit and the mouse would start working again after 10 + seconds or so. Does that change what the issue might be?
[10:40] <umbra_purus> I want to list all human users so i can know what users are in my linux.
[10:40] <rick__> umbra_purus, do you mean "last" command

[10:44] <FishingArk> Hello, earlier I was in here with mouse disconnecting issues. After it happened a few more times I just let it sit and the mouse would start working again after 10 + seconds or so. Does that change what the issue might be?

[10:47] <k1l> mojes: use unity-tweak-tool
[10:48] <k1l> mojes: if that is not enough see ccsm, buut be aware ccsm can make your desktop unusable with need to reset.

[11:02] <hdon> hi all :) anyone know of a FULL PC emulator i can use to boot my old ubuntu 12.04 system? its hdd is still in my PC, and right now i have it mounted (but i would umount obviously when giving it over to emulator so the hosted kernel in the emulator can mount the filesystem)
[11:02] <leeyaa> for some reason it seems mysql perl library does not match mysql library on one of my servers install_driver(mysql) failed: Perl API version v5.14.0 of DBD::mysql does not match v5.18.0 at /usr/lib/perl/5.18/DynaLoader.pm line 207
[11:02] <leeyaa> any idea how to fix it ?
[11:02] <leeyaa> i tried reinstalling libdbd-mysql-perl
[11:02] <hdon> chroot has proven insufficient. i spent a *lot* of time in this direction, but there are kernel compatibility issues with the program i want to run.
[11:02] <leeyaa> im on 14.04 lts
[11:02] <snadge> hdon, virtualbox will probably do the trick
[11:04] <bojan> Hi can anybody help me on configuring NFS..i have done all the configuration and i can mount the shared partition onthe same computer but if i do that on a computer connected on my network it is saying error as "mount.nfs:access denied by server while mounting <IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt"
[11:08] <FishingArk> Any ideas why my mouse pointer keeps freezing only in Ubuntu?
[11:08] <peter100> how do i run a chat app as root?
[11:09] <peter100> such as pdgin?
[11:09] <peter100> pidgin*
[11:09] <k1l> peter100: you dont want to do that
[11:09] <peter100> why?
[11:09] <bojan> Hi can anybody help me on configuring NFS..i have done all the configuration and i can mount the shared partition onthe same computer but if i do that on a computer connected on my network it is saying error as "mount.nfs:access denied by server while mounting <IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt"
[11:09] <k1l> other question: why would you want to do that?
[11:09] <peter100> oh i am sorry, i mean as non root k1l
[11:10] <peter100> typing error
[11:10] <k1l> peter100: you are logged in as root in irc,too. dont do that. that opens security issues to possible attackers
[11:10] <k1l> peter100: in general: dont log into your desktop as root.
[11:10] <peter100> that;s why i am asking how do i run an app as non root?
[11:11] <peter100> any commands?
[11:11] <crane_> ty
[11:11] <peter100> suppose i logged in as root , but want to run an app as non root
[11:11] <k1l> peter100: log out of root desktop and run the desktop as a regular user
[11:11] <peter100> how do i do that
[11:11] <peter100> ?
[11:11] <ikonia> you shouldn't be logged in as root
[11:11] <crane_> lotuspsychje:  stuff works
[11:11] <crane_> :D
[11:11] <ikonia> it's that simple
[11:11] <peter100> but still there must be some way
[11:12] <peter100> u know what i mean
[11:12] <ikonia> I do
[11:12] <ikonia> and the correct answer is to do it properly
[11:12] <ikonia> which is to not login as root
[11:12] <k1l> peter100: running a desktop as root on ubuntu is a security issue, bad design and will lead to more issues with ther programs and file permissions
[11:12] <peter100> like some command?
[11:12] <ikonia> the correct command is "logout" then you can login as a non-privileged user
[11:12] <peter100> i see k1l
[11:12] <k1l> peter100: you ask "how can i shoot my own head" and we just tell you not to do that.
[11:12] <ikonia> you are supposed to elevate up, not elevate down
[11:12] <crypt1d> bojan, check to see if u can ping the NFS server
[11:13] <peter100> i see
[11:13] <bojan> cryptld:Yes i can
[11:13] <Enkidu_ak> build-essentials doesn't include Boehms GC by default?
[11:13] <DJJeff> backtrack and kali linux run as root
[11:13] <dsc_> peter100: you need to ascend to a higher plane and become a space robot, not the other way around
[11:13] <DJJeff> but they are pen testing distros
[11:13] <k1l> DJJeff: and that is bad design. they are not meant to be regular usage desktops
[11:13] <DJJeff> no
[11:14] <peter100> he is right a lot of distros run as root
[11:14] <ikonia> no they don't
[11:14] <peter100> take kali and puppy linux for example
[11:15] <k1l> peter100: this is #ubuntu and if you run ubuntu that is just plain false usage
[11:15] <peter100> puppy linux runs completely as root
[11:15] <peter100> i see
[11:15] <ikonia> peter100: puppy is a flawed design and kalli is running as root for a specific security test data
[11:15] <Enkidu_ak> A lot of distros? I've only ever heard of one, Linspire.
[11:15] <ikonia> you're using ubuntu
[11:15] <brollypop> damn i read that as poppy lux
[11:15] <peter100> linspire?
[11:16] <peter100> i have heard backtrack also runs as root
[11:16] <peter100> don;t know
[11:16] <Enkidu_ak> peter100, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linspire
[11:16] <Enkidu_ak> peter100, You didn't miss much
[11:16] <k1l> but we can shove the "what other distros do" talk into ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic . this is #ubuntu and we stated already what the ubuntu way is on that
[11:16] <ikonia> peter100: back track is dead
[11:16] <k1l> peter100: if you run kali or backtrack please see their support
[11:18] <FishingArk> Any ideas why my mouse pointer keeps freezing only in Ubuntu?
[11:18] <bojan> crypt1d:Yes i can ping and also i can see the shared point in the client computer with this command "showmount -e <IP_ADDRESS>"
[11:18] <peter100> k1l no idon;t use those distros
[11:18] <k1l> FishingArk: see the logs whats going on. can you reproduce it?
[11:19] <peter100> also what does command "DMESG" do?
[11:19] <k1l> peter100: so log out of the root desktop and come back to the ubuntu way which means loggin in as a user
[11:19] <peter100> k1l will do
[11:19] <IceBot3000> I agree with peter100, it's fine to run as root if you're competent. Ubuntu mandates sudo because it's for beginners
[11:19] <FishingArk> kil: My syslog?
[11:20] <k1l> IceBot3000: no
[11:20] <peter100> k1l anyways thanks for the info buddy
[11:20] <peter100> i don;t run as root always
[11:20] <jjkenya> kil thanks for helping others thumps up
[11:20] <peter100> running as root is not safe
[11:20] <Enkidu_ak> IceBot3000, That's like running around with a loaded and cocked gun because you 'know' what you are doing.
[11:20] <k1l> FishingArk: yes, or the .xsession-errors in your /home
[11:20] <Enkidu_ak> IceBot3000, Why take the risk?
[11:21] <IceBot3000> Enkidu_ak: Why take stabilisers off your bicycle?
[11:21] <k1l> IceBot3000: if you look into the xserver security issues you dont want the desktop to be run as root.
[11:21] <Enkidu_ak> IceBot3000, That is a false analogy, but we should move the discussion to offtopic.

[11:21] <segap_> Hey guys , anyone happen to know how to disable a selected wireless receiver for ubuntu ( the one that comes with the motherboard has issues with ubuntu so i just use an external ) but they both connect to net on startup
[11:21] <k1l> IceBot3000: i know some elite linux users dont want to hear that, but that has nothing to do with "i know linux" or not.
[11:22] <peter100>  k1l though i must say u know a lot about linux, keep it up
[11:22] <gr33n7007h> segap_: just remove the driver
[11:24] <segap_> gr33n7007h,  yeah i suppose  will just redownload if they ever update it
[11:24] <k1l> FishingArk: did you reconnect the usb cable?
[11:25] <gr33n7007h> segap_: I don't mean totally remove :)
[11:25] <peter100>  k1l how come u know so much about linux , are u an IT expert?
[11:25] <peter100> just asking buddy
[11:25] <bojan> hi
[11:26] <FishingArk> yeah i have reconnected. usually it freezes up for 10 seconds or so and then works again
[11:26] <FishingArk> no matter what usb port
[11:27] <FishingArk> no matter what usb port *** my bad
[11:28] <k1l> FishingArk: is that a cable mouse?
[11:29] <FishingArk> kil: yes
[11:29] <FishingArk> kil: I have tried multiple mouses and I get the same issue
[11:29] <FishingArk> *mice
[11:29] <k1l> what ubuntu is it? what gives you "uname -a"?
[11:29] <gr33n7007h> segap_: add the kernel module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist if you want to disable

[12:53] <gaucer> Enkidu_ak, i'm using Xubuntu 14.04. Yesterday i (don't know why) installed Gnome3. After i removed it. Now i cant' open xfce theme settings. It crashes and close after a few seconds
[12:54] <Guest461> ubuntu is pathetic
[12:55] <gaucer> Enkidu_ak: I removed all (i think so) Gnome3 packages, I reinstalled xfce4-settings but without result
[12:55] <def1ant> I am trying to install Ubuntu, the installation will complete without any issues, but even the grub won't boot
[12:55] <def1ant> I have been trying this since last night
[12:55] <def1ant> Can somebody please ehlp me?
[12:56] <Enkidu_ak> gaucer, I suspect that when you removed it you took a dependency with it. You re-installed xubuntu-core?
[12:56] <Enkidu_ak> Er, desktop. Xubuntu-desktop
[12:57] <rxp> def1ant: did you install as mbr or gpt?
[12:57] <rxp> def1ant: and how is your BIOS/UEFI setup for booting?
[12:57] <def1ant> rxp how do I know that?
[12:57] <gaucer> Enkidu_ak, yes, i added repo of xfce4 and reinstalled xubuntu-desktop. But i'm not sure that it was complete
[12:57] <def1ant> It is a new mother board and I havent changed anything in the bios
[12:58] <def1ant> Since last monday it was working, I tried to install fedora, and it messed up everything
[12:58] <zipper> Hey guys
[12:59] <flexpaint> https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu im following this guide to install a lamp stack but i get " libapache2-mod-auth-mysql : Depends: apache2.2-common (>= 2.2.3-3) but it is not going to be installed" when installing mysql
[12:59] <flexpaint> none of the google results for that helped though...
[12:59] <zipper> Is this a good place to promote my mixtape?
[12:59] <Enkidu_ak> gaucer, Added a repo? It should have been available from Trusty/universe
[12:59] <Enkidu_ak> gaucer, Which repo did you add?
[12:59] <zipper> You can get it on soundcloud as "the fire" by "zipper"
[13:00] <DJones> zipper: No, this channel is Ubuntu support only
[13:00] <def1ant> rxp, So what do I do now?
[13:00] <zipper> DJones: Damn dude all I'm doing is trying to get bread.
[13:00] <gaucer> Enkidu_ak, http://ppa.launchpad.net/xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12/ubuntu
[13:01] <flexpaint> do i need "libapache2-mod-auth-mysql" to run lamp?
[13:01] <flexpaint> or is it extra?
[13:01] <zipper> flexpaint: No, what you need my friend is to listen to my mixtape.
[13:02] <flexpaint> sounds important... https://packages.debian.org/sid/httpd/libapache2-mod-auth-mysql
[13:02] <ubuntu-mate> hi guys
[13:02] <flexpaint> D:
[13:02] <Enkidu_ak> Did you add a separate repo for gnome as well?
[13:03] <ubuntu-mate> im having problems installing My Ubuntu Mate to my External Drive ..
 yes, and after removing Gnome removed and repos
[13:03] <Enkidu_ak> gaucer, Did you intend to install xubuntu-dev or were you just trying to install the standard xubuntu-desktop?
[13:04] <ubuntu-mate> just the standard xubuntu -desktop
[13:05] <Enkidu_ak> gaucer, I would purge whatever xubuntu packages that you installed after adding that repo and then drop that repo. Trusty/universe should have a xubuntu-core and xubuntu-desktop package that will work for you. Unfortunately I don't know what all was changed by the gnome installation, so it is possible that something else will interfere.
 i just want  to reinstall settings manager..
[13:07] <Enkidu_ak> gaucer, The package is xfce4-settings. You can reinstall it using apt.
[13:08] <gaucer> Enkidu_ak, i did it but without any result. Settings opens but theme settings no
[13:11] <gaucer> Enkidu_ak, omg...i removed xfce4-settings & installed it again. Theme settings works fine. Thank's for help!
[13:12] <Enkidu_ak> gaucer, Odd that it didn't work the first time. I hope that it sticks :)

[13:34] <wvvrw>  i have some files designated to open with supervisord , but then i changed those files , killed supervisord and restarted it but it loads the older version of the files . if i start them manually with & it works properly. any idea?
[13:34] <sapphire> I forgot my password and I can not login as that user!

[13:37] <sapphire> ok! I'll try.
[13:40] <kinetic_7> hi - have a strange problem with my cursors. I installed wine and then removed it, but the icons for my cursors have changed
[13:40] <kinetic_7> like the icon for hovering over a hyperlink in now different
[13:40] <kinetic_7> I have installed unity-tweak-tool and set everything back to default, but the mouse curors don't change
[13:41] <xpl0iter> Can someone please help me  to install ubuntu. For now even the grub won't simply boot. Somene pointed out to me that it has something to do with uefi
[13:42] <sapphire> kinetic_7 the change you set may be used after a reboot!
[13:43] <kinetic_7> sapphire: I tried full reboot, but it doesn't change
[13:43] <EriC^^> xpl0iter, try to press esc and get a boot options menu
[13:43] <kinetic_7> its like different icons are being used for the cursors now, and I can't restore the defaults
[13:46] <lucido> my comp freezes on waking from suspend since I installed an amd card (fglrx), is there a fix for this?
[13:49] <brycetd19m> Getting really annoyed please tell me there is a way to install the restricted source binarys with the install cd.
[13:49] <brycetd19m> Don't have lan and don't have cpu binarys still and being on the restricted list the Os doesn't install it
[13:52] <brycetd19m> Anyone know? Had the problem for months and the ubuntu team seems hell bent on keeping it in the restricted sources. There for keeping people in a dark hole with an Os that won't boot for days.
[13:53] <theteju> Hey guys,,
[13:54] <k1l> brycetd19m: what do you want to install?
[13:54] <cfhowlett> !password | sapphire
[13:54] <theteju> How should I partition to install ubuntu on this hard drive? I am looking for advise to partition my hard drive...http://imagebin.ca/v/1w2nSEGIn8SF
[13:55] <brycetd19m> The lan and core i5 4460 binarys are in the restricted sources meaning that ubuntu is limited to 400mhz
[13:55] <k1l> brycetd19m: what? the intel cpus work ootb. no need to install stuff from other sources. intel drivers are in the kernel
[13:56] <brycetd19m> Mine doesn't I get an Os that takes 2 days to show the log in prompt and has the cpu showing as 400mhz.
[13:56] <genii> brycetd19m: The install images do not contain anything from the restricted repositories. They are called restricted because the software cannot be freely distributed due to the licenses of the software in it.
[13:56] <k1l> brycetd19m: what gives you "lsb_release -d"?
[13:57] <brycetd19m> I wouldn't know the mouse has moved 1 frame in 4 hours. I'm running ubuntu 14.04
[13:58] <k1l> what pc/laptop is it?
[13:59] <genii> brycetd19m: If you have access to another Ubuntu system with internet there are ways to download the packages there and then you transfer the files to the machine which require it
[13:59] <theteju> Anyone...:(
[14:00] <brycetd19m> It's a core i5 i5 4460 8gb duel channel ddr3 1600 mobo is an asrock dgm-rd2 gpu is an and us gtx750 2gb. Running 1 device on USB 1 ssd 1 wdv
[14:00] <genii> !offline
[14:01] <brycetd19m> Been there done that using a vm. Ubuntu takes 4 hours to display the log on screen it takes over an hour to type 3 letters
[14:01] <brycetd19m> It's not possible to use the system to install packages.
[14:02] <Craigwell> very impressive room. Did not realize it was here. First visit to freenode
[14:03] <theteju> Can someone please help me how to partition for dual boot on laptop.. the partition table looks like this http://imagebin.ca/v/1w2nSEGIn8SF
[14:06] <brycetd19m> Yep this is great coding ubuntu. Left the system all night its had a rock on the keyboard too typed 16 letters in 11 hours up time.
[14:06] <teward> brycetd19m: if you are only going to complain you can take it elsewhere
[14:06] <teward> (this isn't a complaints-handling channel)
[14:07] <Craigwell> theteju: Easy way might be to let ubuntu create new partition at sda6, and use the slider to make sda4 smaller to give you the space you want. That's for basic install.
[14:07] <Craigwell> theteju: more complicated if you need / and /home partitions, but google will cover that for you. Basically you want to make the sda4 partition smaller.
[14:08] <Craigwell> lol @ teward
[14:08] <brycetd19m> Teward how about integrating cpu and lan support into the install. Don't just stick users with a problem for 4 releases +
[14:08] <CptRageToaster> teward: Arguably, they ares just asking for support in a really silly way...
[14:08] <CptRageToaster> they are*
[14:08] <CptRageToaster> brycetd19m: can you make it to GRUB in one piece?
[14:09] <teward> CptRageToaster: but their approach is one of whining - which never helps
[14:09] <teward> this is an ultimately pointless discussion but still
[14:09] <theteju> Craigwell : I am confused about,, how to find out if these are all primary partitions or logical?
[14:09]  * teward goes off to do actual productive work today
[14:09] <brycetd19m> If you mean I can get to grub after a 4 hour wait sure I can
[14:09] <Craigwell> teward: c'mon now, you must have whined at least once about ubuntu issues lol
[14:09] <CptRageToaster> brycetd19m: That isn't Ubuntu's fault then
[14:09] <CptRageToaster> Grub loads as a second stage bootloader
[14:09] <CptRageToaster> it's incharge of booting Ubuntu
[14:09] <CptRageToaster> I was going to recommend some things to try, when you boot Ubuntu
[14:10] <CptRageToaster> but considering your PC can't load grub properly
[14:10] <CptRageToaster> then your hardware is suspect
[14:10] <teward> Craigwell: this is an offtopic discussion - either the offtopic channel or PM :P
[14:10] <Craigwell> theteju: My guess is only sda4 would be primary, but I'm not certain. Can you find partition info anywhere by right clicking, etc?
[14:11] <CptRageToaster> I've partitioned things in command line before ._.
[14:11] <Craigwell> easy teward. A little levity never hurts.
[14:12] <theteju> Craigwell : Nope It doesn't tell me.. Okay last question,, when it comes to install Grub,, it should go to /dev/sda ,, am I correct?
[14:12] <theteju> Craigwell : I mean , boot loader... install
[14:12] <Craigwell> brycetd19m: Can you boot into a thumb drive? I'd boot ubuntu off a thumdrive and then check that hard drive - or do a memcheck either via bios or ubuntu boot
[14:13] <Craigwell> theteju: correct
[14:13] <brycetd19m> Windows 7 8 windows 10 beta no issues. Cpu won't clock over 400mhz in ubuntu and ubuntu only sees 256mb of 8gb ram. My point is AFAIK this is a code issue. The cpu doesn't step up the clock as the Os doesn't tell it to.. Tried different drives my Nas runs ubuntu 14.04 tried the drive from  it as well as doing a clean install on 3 different hdds and two ssds
[14:14] <hyde> hi. I want to load a kernel module (softdog) at early stages of boot, before ethernet drivers for example. Now I am adding it to /etc/modules, and loads quite late, much later than I want. I've already added it to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules too.
[14:14] <Craigwell> theteju: sda = your hard drive. sdb, sdx etc would be additional drives. sda is the only place for it to go.
[14:14] <hyde> So, what is correct way to get a kernel module to load as early as possible during boot?
[14:14] <mzaza> Why do battery on my Sony VAIO lasts less while using Ubuntu around 2 hours, while on Windows it lasts up to 5 hours? Is that normal?
[14:15] <Craigwell> brycetd19m: Ok, it sounds like the stock ubuntu doesn't have all the drivers to match your hardware. You might need to dig out drivers.. What's your hardware, homebrew ?
[14:15] <BLZbubba> on ubuntu, how do you kill a zombie process owned by init ?
[14:15] <theteju> Craigwell : I knew that,, what confused me is /dev/sda2 which is flagged as boot partition
[14:16] <CptRageToaster> mzaza: Long story short, Ubuntu doesn't make use of a lot of battery saving features on your Processor and GPU...
[14:16] <Craigwell> mzaza: unfortunately, yes - to a point. Try googling ubuntu battery life and check out some of the things you can do to help.
[14:16] <mzaza> Craigwell: CptRageToaster: Thanks
[14:16] <Craigwell> np
[14:16] <CptRageToaster> Ya... there's a lot you can do
[14:16] <k1l> mzaza: talk to sony to support linux better. espacially the vaio stuff is closed source and not supported that well.
[14:16] <hyde> BLZbubba: zombie process is already killed. just wait for init to collect it...
[14:16] <CptRageToaster> but it's hardware specific
[14:16] <BLZbubba> hyde: i've been waiting for about 12 hours
[14:17] <hyde> BLZbubba: if init does not wait on it to make it disappear, then that sounds like a bug somewhere...
[14:17] <CptRageToaster> ^
[14:17] <hyde> BLZbubba:  parent of the zombie process is really 1?
[14:17] <BLZbubba> yes
[14:17] <mzaza> k1l: Well Vaio is dead now, at least for Sony.
[14:17] <BLZbubba> it wouldn't surprise me if Upstart was brain dead about this too
[14:17] <Craigwell> ahh. I don't have vaio experience. My machines are either all Dell D6xx based, or E6xxx . I have the odd broadcom wireless issue, but nothing serious. Battery life generally matches win 7
[14:17] <BLZbubba> upstart == biggest linux disaster ever
[14:19] <mzaza> Craigwell: Another thing, I tried installing Unity 8 just to check it out and after I uninstalled it I keep on getting System errors. Any ideas?
[14:19] <Craigwell> theteju: Actually, yes that is odd. I don't know what to make of that fat32 partition. Pretty small. Was that a corporate machined managed by an IT dept somewhere? Almost makes me think someone had another bootloader on there for multiple windows installs?
[14:19] <k1l> BLZbubba: please stop that in here
[14:20] <Craigwell> theteju: but not on separate partitions. I don't know what else to make of that either, sorry
[14:20] <Craigwell> mzaza: you might have to do a clean install to get rid of that. Sounds like some things are still flagged to start on boot that are no longer installed. relatively minor, but annoying for sure
[14:20] <theteju> Craigwell : I understand,  probably HP trying to make it for recovery purpose
[14:21] <BLZbubba> k1l: stop what?
[14:21] <CptRageToaster> yeah, they do that
[14:21] <brycetd19m> Thank you craigwell someone finily agrees.  IE, you need to install windows manager, display manager, file manager, terminal, all the components needed to get from headless to a fully functional GUI etc?
[14:23] <Craigwell> brycetd19m: nothing stands out to me. Something isn't happy. I'd basically start by googling the various hardware and ubuntu compatibility to see if something is a known issue. Otherwise, are you trying a LTS distro? Often better driver support or less issues generally.
[14:23] <k1l> BLZbubba: no i will not google for something when you cant even provide proper details but just keep on ranting.
[14:24] <Craigwell> mzaza: you need to backtrack and see what packages were installed and remove them one by one i think. try to see what's flagged to start on boot, go from there
[14:24] <Craigwell> anyways, my boy just woke up. I'm afk for now. good luck folks
[14:24] <brycetd19m> 14.04 lts 13.04 lts 12.04 lts and the 10.xx and 9.xx a
[14:24] <brycetd19m> All have the issue
[14:25] <k1l> 13.04 is no lts. and versions prior to 12.04 are not supported anymore on the desktop
[14:25] <BLZbubba> k1l: did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something?  please calm down
[14:25] <brycetd19m> I know there all compatible I have once been able to boot normally and got a incomplete cpu support message
[14:27] <brycetd19m> Hence why I know full well that the package I need is in the restricted sources and as is the lan driver.
[14:27] <Craigwell> yeah brycetd19m My guess is cpu driver issue, but could be related to mobo / chipset drivers..
[14:28] <Craigwell> brycetd19m: yeah some of the stuff ends up being proprietary (like my broadcom issues) and you need to plumb around it. Not much canonical can do when manufactures wont license to them or provide info ./ open source stuff.
[14:28] <Craigwell> *manufacturers that is
[14:28] <brycetd19m> That would make sense. But intel drivers? I figured it would support it from the box
[14:30] <Craigwell> brycetd19m: I'm thinking more chipset. maybe not directly the processor itself. I never had i5 issues with my E6610ATG
[14:30] <Craigwell> anyway, boy's rattling his crib
[14:31] <brycetd19m> Mhmm as far as I know I have an Intel chipset. I know the first windows 8.1 retail release did have the same issue as ubuntu has but it was patched within a few weeks.
[14:35] <CptRageToaster> brycetd19m: GPU issue?  or CPU?
[14:36] <brycetd19m> Cpu issue
[14:36] <CptRageToaster> have you tried booting to "recovery" mode or whatever it's called?
[14:37] <brycetd19m> I would if I could even boot it takes 4 hours + to pass grub.
[14:37] <CptRageToaster> see that's what gets me
[14:37] <tdannecy> I don't know how to explain what's happening here, so I'm having an issue Googling it to find out what's the problem with my Ubuntu server. Can someone help me fix this visual issue? http://i.imgur.com/wVJPqOx.png I'm connecting through putty on Windows with the default settings.
[14:37] <CptRageToaster> You can't blame ubuntu for any problem that occurs in grub
[14:38] <CptRageToaster> grub is what's in charge of booting the linux kernel for ubuntu
[14:38] <brycetd19m> But the problem still happens in ubuntu and if I use another boot loader I still have the same issue.
[14:38] <CptRageToaster> so... if your grub has issues, then it can't be a problem with your kernel
[14:39] <CptRageToaster> so then what your experiencing is much more system-wide than just "Ubuntu doesn't work with my processor"
[14:39] <CptRageToaster> While the above is a true fact
[14:39] <CptRageToaster> you ALSO have issues with grub
[14:39] <CptRageToaster> and potentially other bootloaders?
[14:39] <CptRageToaster> not certain
[14:39] <CptRageToaster> is your firmware up to date on the mobo?
[14:39] <CptRageToaster> brycetd19m: ^
[14:40] <CptRageToaster> tdannecy: Are you seeing that on a monitor plugged into the machine?
[14:40] <CptRageToaster> or did you ssh into the server?
[14:40] <brycetd19m> Does not explain how windows was able to resolve the issue with in Ina week of launching windows 8.1. The mobo currently reads that it is fully up to date. The mobo had to be updated to even run my cpu.
[14:40] <CptRageToaster> brycetd19m: Windows is in charge of it's bootloader
[14:41] <tdannecy> CptRageToaster: That's in Putty over ssh.
[14:41] <CptRageToaster> tdannecy: I don't know what the problem is exactly, but try switching everything over to UTF-8
[14:41] <CptRageToaster> You can make that change in putty, but you ALSO have to tell your server to use it
[14:41] <CptRageToaster> also, I meant to use its* 4 messages up
[14:42] <CptRageToaster> brycetd19m: I'd contact support for your mobo, citing issues with grub, and the specific linux kernel your trying to run
[14:42] <tdannecy> CptRageToaster: Bingo. Thanks.
[14:43] <CptRageToaster> tdannecy: :D
[14:43] <DJones> tdannecy: I've had the same problem in the past, it is the UTF8 change that needs to be made
[14:43] <brycetd19m> Yes......maybe I'm over looking something but I know at least one of the 3rd party boot loaders had no issues and but the second ubuntu loaded it would grind to a halt. Completely understandable when the Os only sees 256mb ram and 400mhz cpu as the max/min.
[14:43] <tdannecy> DJones: Yep! Thanks for the help!
[14:48] <newguy> ok hello and good morning everyone
[14:48] <newguy> is anyone avalible to help on a small issue iam having?
[14:49] <CptRageToaster> newguy: Just ask a question
[14:49] <CptRageToaster> and if someone knows what's up, they'll answer after a while
[14:51] <newguy> ok  i downloaded ubuntu desktop and i used win7 to extract it (yes iam on windwows)  when i extract it i dont get a image file  just a folder with a bunch of files   what am i doing wrong?
[14:51] <dark_> wats up
[14:52] <dark_> hey '
[14:52] <DJones> newguy: You don't need to extract it, you just need to burn the iso to a dvd or onto a usb stick
[14:52] <CptRageToaster> newguy: Did you download a file that ended with the .iso extension?
[14:52] <Number5> Hello guys, how can I set DNS permanently so it won't lost after reboot? If I want to edit it in /etc/resolv.conf, I see a comment in the file which says that this file will be overwritten. So what am I suppose to do?
[14:52] <CptRageToaster> Number5: Are you using the networking GUI thingy?
[14:52] <CptRageToaster> I think that's just called "Networking"
[14:53] <DJones> newguy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Creating_a_bootable_Ubuntu_USB_flash_drive_from_Windows
[14:53] <CptRageToaster> Number5: or are you using /etc/network/interfaces
[14:53] <Number5> CptRageToaster, not personally but a collegue with limited experience in Linux environment has installed it.
[14:53] <CptRageToaster> You can set DNS in the GUI
[14:53] <Number5> CptRageToaster, it is using GUI
[14:54] <CptRageToaster> otherwise, if you don't have that package installed, then you'll have to add the DNS entry to the adaptor entry in /etc/network/interfaces
[14:54] <Number5> CptRageToaster, yes but after reboot the DNS is cleared or overwritten with nothing
[14:54] <newguy> i downloaded it from their website  iam going to try pointing the linuxlive stright to the un extraced download
[14:54] <ikonia> Number5: thats becauuse it's being supplied by your dhcp server
[14:54] <CptRageToaster> you said he installed "Networking" as a standalone?
[14:54] <ikonia> why do you want to use different dns servers than your dhcp provider
[14:54] <CptRageToaster> ikonia: You should still be able to override it
[14:54] <CptRageToaster> something's up
[14:54] <ikonia> CptRageToaster: you can
[14:55] <CptRageToaster> I suspect that the user borked their installation of the GUI somehow...
[14:55] <ikonia> I suspect not
[14:55] <Number5> ikonia, nope, as I use static ip address, which I had to configure using that stupid GUI
[14:55] <ikonia> I suspect they are just not aware of how dns masq is setup
[14:55] <roundcircle> hey
[14:55] <ikonia> Number5: what is the current entry in /etc/resolv.conf
[14:55] <ikonia> Number5: is it <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[14:55] <CptRageToaster> deferring
[14:55] <roundcircle> I'm experiencing trouble with nfs4_setfacl and have no clue why it happens
[14:55] <tgm4883> Number5: where are you looking to see that your DNS settings don't stick?
[14:56] <Number5> ikonia, it's empty, except with a comment that the file will be overwritten.
[14:56] <roundcircle> anyone around with more knowledge about nfs4acl?\
[14:56] <ikonia> Number5: if you set them to a profile in network manager - they will stiick,
[14:56] <Number5> It's like saying don't try buddy, it won't work from terminal
[14:56] <Number5> ikonia, ok thnx
[14:56] <Number5> CptRageToaster, thank you too
[14:56] <tgm4883> Number5: no, it's saying don't edit this, since you don't know how it's created
[14:57] <newguy> working so far...    had anyone tryed out linux adacmey dot com?
[14:57] <mzaza> Hello, I have followed the following tutorial for setting power management in my Vaio. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/ReducedPower But It seems that it doesn't auto-start on boot, is that correct?
[14:57] <Number5> tgm4883, wow, weird message than.
[14:57] <CptRageToaster> mzaza: Reboot and see if it started?
[14:58] <CptRageToaster> if it didn't, add the startup command to your profile?
[14:58] <craigbass76> I can't change permissions on a file.  I've got a fat32 partition mounted up, and sudo chmod 777 /mount-point/file, and the file still has 755 permissions afterward.
[14:58] <CptRageToaster> a hack, if you don't want to mess with upstart
[14:58] <tgm4883> Number5: not really, if you know how it gets generated. Anyhow, were you able to add the DNS settings in network manager?
[14:58] <mzaza> CptRageToaster: Reboot on battery? or doesn't matter?
[14:58] <ikonia> craigbass76: fat does not support permissions
[14:58] <mcphail> craigbass76: fat32 filesystems don't support permissions
[14:59] <brycetd19m> Ikonia many people use a different DNS then there dhcp provider my router uses my adsl providers DNS as they check that the router is running it where as my pc runs the Google DNS. My provider DNS Is limited in requests.
[14:59] <craigbass76> ikonia, mcphail Ahhh...  So how do I share this out via samba so that anyone can write to it?
[14:59] <CptRageToaster> mzaza: I'm uncertain, I'd suspect that any time the system boots, it'd attempt to start the service... but I don't know anything about your setup
[14:59] <roundcircle> any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[14:59] <Eair> Hi all. In my ubuntu 14.10, "System Settings-->Keyboard-->Repeat Keys" settings are not working.
[14:59] <ikonia> brycetd19m: I wasn't asking you why you use it, I was asking why the specific person was
[14:59] <mcphail> craigbass76: you can change the global permissions for the FAT mount in /etc/fstab
[14:59] <tgm4883> craigbass76: you can mount it with specific permissions
[14:59] <CptRageToaster> roundcircle: I don't know if anyone here knows nfs4acl
[15:00] <CptRageToaster> google may be more helpful
[15:00] <mcphail> craigbass76: or use a better filesystem
[15:00] <roundcircle> CptRageToaster: google is as helpful as an ostrich
[15:00] <Number5> tgm4883, yes, but it gets cleared after reboot. Anyway, I'll figure that out later. Now I can install some software from source :P
[15:00] <CptRageToaster> well... I mean... if you needed really large eggs all of a sudden ;)
[15:01] <craigbass76> mcphail, I try to tell the guy that...  and to buy something newer than a 2002 dell server...
[15:01] <tgm4883> Number5: I find that very odd, but if you really must do it from the terminal then you might want to look in the /etc/resolv.conf.d directory
[15:01] <CptRageToaster> Number5: I sheepishly must admit that I uninstall the "networking" GUI on my machines, so I can use the silly "/etc/networking/interfaces" setup
[15:01] <roundcircle> CptRageToaster: well I asked google before and found some bugs from 2009 and 2011
[15:01] <roundcircle> but well no solution
[15:02] <roundcircle> Failed setxattr operation: Invalid argument
[15:02] <roundcircle> An error occurred during recursive file tree walk.
[15:02] <Number5> tgm4883, I don't have to, but I just prefer terminal with ssh.
[15:02] <mcphail> craigbass76: hardware from 2002 may be ok, but filesystems from 1992 aren't :)
[15:02] <roundcircle> when I just want to add an ACE for an directory
[15:02] <Number5> CptRageToaster, thnx for the tip.
[15:02] <tgm4883> Number5: then edit the files in that directory. If you look at them it should be fairly obvious what is happening
[15:02] <tallymarkd_> hiii
[15:03] <CptRageToaster> tgm4883: Those files MAY be auto-generated on boot...
[15:03] <brycetd19m> Ikonia I would ask if you know how to get ubuntu running on the i5 4460 but ubuntu has a long standing issue with the chip. And from the few posts I have seen the dev's have come to agree there is no real reason to fix the problem.
[15:03] <tgm4883> CptRageToaster: the files inside /etc/resolv.conf.d/ ? What package would autogenerate those files?
[15:03] <CptRageToaster> if that's correct, then they're in the same boat.  Number5 said they could configure the DNS properly, but the change wouldn't stick for some reason after reboot...
[15:03] <newguy> cptragetoaster: well it worked  thanks  and seems like the new lili had option to virtualize this key   pretty awesome!
[15:04] <tgm4883> mcphail: so we shouldn't use ext based filesystems?
[15:04]  * mcphail loves btrfs
[15:04] <CptRageToaster> tgm4883: When the networkign service starts, I recall Ubuntu's `Networking` blowing some of my networking configurations away
[15:04] <CptRageToaster> but... again
[15:04] <CptRageToaster> I don't really understand it
[15:04] <CptRageToaster> so I probably shouldn't be talking
[15:04] <mcphail> tgm4883: i take your point
[15:05] <BluesKaj> tgm4883, extfs is fine , stable and usable and proven!
[15:05] <Es0teric> anyone here use varnish?
[15:05] <roundcircle> well im off talking to my boss
[15:05] <tgm4883> CptRageToaster: The files in that directory are the ones that generate /etc/resolv.conf  It would make no sense for those to be autogenerated (and what would they be generated from?) ;)
[15:05] <tgm4883> BluesKaj: I know, I was merely pointing out the absurdness of saying we shouldn't use filesystems from 1992
[15:06] <tallymarkd_> i have a dumb question, but is there like a general chat here
[15:06] <cfhowlett> !ot | tallymarkd
[15:07] <CptRageToaster> tgm4883: Good to know...
[15:07] <BluesKaj> tgm4883, yeah like #ubuntu-offtopic

[15:44] <ronin> Hello! Can you help me? What is "BeLin Desktop"?
[15:46] <ronin> http://i.minus.com/ibbhDsoLMquX54.png
[15:47] <OerHeks> ronin, not an official desktop in the ubuntu repo's.
[15:47] <ronin> How can I remove it?
[15:48] <OerHeks> ronin, depends how you added that desktop, with a PPA?
[15:49] <Pici> Looks like it might be a Hungarian Ubuntu variant: http://www.belin.hu/
[15:49] <Pici> (also a PPA is out there)
[15:49] <ronin> OerHeks, I have no idea.. =(
[15:49] <OerHeks> THis old ppa maybe ? https://launchpad.net/~hammera/+archive/ubuntu/belin-trusty
[15:49] <DJones> I'd found https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/216521

[15:51] <papa> hi.
[15:51] <wiredfool> Just upgraded my xubunutu desktop from precise to trusty, and my xkeyboardmap keeps resetting, about every 12-24 hours. Keyboard is plugged into a motherboard usb port. ideas? http://pastebin.com/jqNrTijT
[15:52] <ronin> I have no idea how it is installed.. And no idea how to remove
[15:52] <OerHeks> ronin, go into softwarecenter > edit > softwaresources, and see if there is a repository line in that
[15:53] <OerHeks> ronin, if it has, remove that ppa with ppa-purge
[15:53] <OerHeks> !ppapurge
[15:53] <dtscode> https://bpaste.net/show/abac4200cd89 is there an easy way to install these?
[15:54] <ronin> OerHeks, nothing about belin there
[15:56] <OerHeks> ronin, to check, open terminal: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[15:57] <OerHeks> and paste the output on paste.ubuntu.com
[15:57] <iuza> wiredfool, : try  dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data
[15:58] <ronin> belin-trusty-trusty.list and belin-trusty-trusty.list.save there. But they are empty
[15:59] <wiredfool> iuza: that quietly reset the keyboard map to the default
[16:01] <wiredfool> debconf-show xkb-data doesn't return anything
[16:01] <OerHeks> ronin, oke, so remove that ppa with "sudo  ppa-purge ppa:belin/trusty " and logout/login other  desktop
[16:02] <OerHeks> if ppa-purge is not installed, sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
[16:03] <ronin> OerHeks, Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: belin trusty
[16:03] <OerHeks> ronin, odd, as it seems to come from https://bugs.launchpad.net/~belin/+archive/ubuntu/trusty
[16:05] <kibMaf> how can I correct If I chmod +777 / recursively?
[16:05] <ronin> OerHeks, maybe i need to add that ppa, and then purge?
[16:05] <mcphail> kibMaf: that's not easy to correct
[16:05] <OerHeks> kibMaf, backup your data and reinstall
[16:05] <OerHeks> ronin, that ppa is added, no need to add it again i guess
[16:05] <mcphail> kibMaf: did you run it as root?
[16:05] <kibMaf> OerHeks: aint other option?
[16:06] <kibMaf> mcphail: yes
[16:06] <mcphail> kibMaf: reinstall would be the easiest way
[16:07] <kibMaf> mcphail: thanks,,, I will consider other options if any.Thanks
[16:07] <ronin> OerHeks, it seems to me that my workaround works... PPA purged successfully using aptitude fallback
[16:09] <ronin> OerHeks, Now it is Ubuntu Desktop, but i think i need to reboot
[16:12] <ronin> OerHeks, Now It is all ok! Thank you!
[16:12] <OerHeks> ronin, have fun
[16:22] <aarwine> how do I find the flags an upstream pkg was compiled with? is there a build system i can look at somewhere?

[16:25] <TheReduxPL> Hello, I would like to configure an NTFS partition so I'd be able to use chmod on it but I want it to work with both Windows and Ubuntu. Would "sudo ntfs-3g.usermap /dev/sda" do that?
[16:26] <OerHeks> TheReduxPL, you won't be able to do chmod on NTFS AFAIK

[16:27] <TheReduxPL> I was looking there but those methods don't mention if it works on both systems
[16:27] <chrisss123456> super simple question: im installing windows on a virtualbox machine in ubuntu 14.04 and during the setup it asks what to format the 10gb i've allocated the virtual machine to. does this format an actual drive or what exactly does this do?
[16:27] <TheReduxPL> chrisss123456, no, it formats the virtual drive. The physical drive is untouched
[16:27] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, VIRTUAL driver
[16:28] <maku_> cfhowlett: full disk encryption, it requires a separate password before OS boots
[16:28] <chrisss123456> TheReduxPL: cfhowlett cool, so whatever i format it to, it doesnt matter
[16:28] <cfhowlett> chrisss123456, go wild ...

[16:34] <Guest74957> Anyone have experience installing Xen hypervisor?
[16:36] <cfhowlett> Guest74957, please avoid "has anyone ..." questions.  Literal answer is "yes" but that is probably not what you really want to know.  read and rephrase your query.

[16:41] <kokut> Hello, anyone knows how to disable the webcam? through the terminal or something?
[16:41] <oli_b> Hi all
[16:42] <Guest74957> cfhowlett, ubottu; Thank you for the protocol. I am newly installing Ubuntu 14.04.2 on a HP DL380p Gen8 server. Want to install a type-1 hypervisor and decided on Xen. What is the best resource (book or internet) for installation and administration? I'm also unfamiliar with !pastebin
[16:42] <cfhowlett> Guest74957, no problem ...
[16:43] <chotaz> How do I prevent ubuntu from automounting my cellphone?
[16:43] <cfhowlett> Guest74957, sudo apt-get install pastebinit will install the app.  then run your command followed by |pastebinit for an IRC friendly readout of your terminal output.  example: dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[16:45] <cfhowlett> Guest74957, so dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit returns this url http://paste.ubuntu.com/10679143/
[16:46] <cfhowlett> Guest74957, fun fact: many distros use host pastebinit.  if you edit your .pastebinit.xml you can select your preferred host!
[16:47] <Guest74957> cfhowlett, thank you. Will do and I will familiarize myself with IRC portocol more before coming back on. Thanks again.
[16:48] <cfhowlett> chotaz, lock your phone before plugging in.  ubuntu won't mount a locked phone
[16:48] <cfhowlett> Guest74957, :)
[16:48] <Eburitus> i'm having difficulties with sound. I just bought mad catz freq 5 headset and now i can't hear a thing from my headset with linux. no problem with windows.
[16:49] <Ackis> Is there a way that I can set up on a local dns when I type in the url: http://foo.home.lan it will redirect me to something like: http://x.x.x.x:1000 ? or even http -> https redirect?
[16:50] <chotaz> cfhowlett: it does mount it, it just shows up as empty untill I unlock it
[16:51] <wiredfool> Ackis: have you looked at the .local domain?
[16:53] <Ackis> wiredfool: no, I didn't even know about it - all the examples I've found were based on home.lan domain
[16:53] <SchrodingersScat> Ackis: examples?
[16:54] <wiredfool> .local is mdns, if you have a web server on machinename, it's likely at http://machinename.local
[16:54] <Ackis> my google searches for setting up home network services - don't have the urls - but examples I want for my home are things like plex.home.lan or znc.home.lan
[16:54] <wiredfool> there are ways of advertising ports as well
[16:55] <CptRageToaster> Ackis: Look up Avahi
[16:55] <Ackis> thanks CptRageToaster I'll check that out
[16:55] <CptRageToaster> np
[16:56] <Ackis> wiredfool: I'll be googling that term as well, thanks
[16:56] <iuza> chotaz try installing dconf editor
[16:57] <mcphail> Ackis: yes, avahi is the way forward. Simple and does what you need

[17:05] <shudon> hi all :) i used tweak tool to enable sloppy focus mode. neither sloppy nor mouse mode works: i always have to click to focus!
[17:05] <shudon> anyone know the fix?
[17:05] <shudon> i'm using ubuntu 14.04 gnome desktop
[17:06] <Amm0n> kokut, do you want to disable it permanently?
[17:06] <archip> Anyone here using midi keyboard with ubuntu? I am trying to find a midi soundcard preferably that connects over USB to hook up a synthesizer
[17:08] <kokut> Amm0n: no, i want to disable when i want
[17:08] <noah123> Can someone guide me through the installation of Kubuntu? Gonna use Dual Boot with Windows 7
[17:09] <CptRageToaster> noah123: google it?
[17:09] <noah123> CptRageToaster: I have tried everything
[17:09] <kokut> Amm0n: i use my webcam a lot, its just annoying as hell that every time i open the ****** hangouts it starts broadcasting
[17:09] <kokut> Amm0n: ideally i would like to enable disable it when i want, so i dont have to use tape over it, it looks gross and its time consuming
[17:09] <noah123> When I create a ext4 partition, it says "unuseable" on the rest of the unallocated space, CptRageToaster
[17:10] <noah123> Then I need someone to guide me through
[17:10] <brycetd19m> Okay I've found a sort of answer to my ubuntu clock problem. If I set the system to automatically over clock the system will always stay at max clock speed allowing me to boot and setup ubuntu/grub. But as soon as I set the multiplier back to normal the system will respond the same as before.
[17:10] <noah123> So I know I'm doing right
[17:11] <k1l_> brycetd19m: that sounds like a really strange bug with the mainboard
[17:11] <noah123> So can someone guide me?
[17:12] <brycetd19m> Oh the board is fine as far as I can see ubuntu only sees once clock speed. Can't detect anything other then what was loaded on boot.
[17:12] <CptRageToaster> k1l_: That's what I said earlier
[17:12] <noah123> No-one?
[17:13] <brycetd19m> Also contacted the makers of the board (asrock) the assured me the device is ubuntu certified.
[17:13] <k1l_> noah123: so you made more or exact 4 primary partitions?
[17:13] <CptRageToaster> brycetd19m: Which is why you should go to THEM for support!
[17:13] <Amm0n> kokut, you could unload the kernel module temporarly
[17:13] <noah123> k1l_: 4
[17:13] <noah123> partitions
[17:13] <noah123> after the ext4 one
[17:14] <k1l_> noah123: you cant make 5 primary so the left space is unusable
[17:14] <kokut> Amm0n: yea, can i do that on the fly? Like unload it/load it without having to reboot? that would be neat, also are you sure i won't break anything right? I use this machine for work mostly
[17:14] <captainpicard> can't get audio passthrough to work. im on ubuntu 14.04, sound plays fine from this box. i have another box's audio output connected to the input of this box. under the sound settings, i can see a signal is coming in through line in from the other box.
[17:15] <captainpicard> but for some reason, ubuntu isnt connecting the input to the output
[17:15] <noah123> k1l_: that's why I want someone to guide me. I don't understand ANYTHING
[17:15] <Nicola_G> Does a PC can boot Ubuntu with fastboot active?
[17:16] <k1l_> noah123: erase the ext4 one, make a extended one instead and put the new ubuntu partitions into that one.
[17:16] <daftykins> Nicola_G: typically no
[17:16] <noah123> How k1l_ ?
[17:16] <Nicola_G> Thx
[17:16] <Amm0n> kokut, yes you can do this without reboot via commandline
[17:17] <brycetd19m> Again it's a ubuntu issue I did see a few launchpad bugs detailing the issue and what was required to fix it. From what I've seen you have to turn off speed step and manually edit the clock speeds in the mobo settings or run about 3 pages through the terminal 1 line at a time.
[17:17] <noah123> k1l_: as said I don't know anything. I need help my someone during the installation
[17:17] <k1l_> how did you create that ext4?
[17:17] <noah123> I don't remember
[17:18] <k1l_> what else is on that disk
[17:18] <noah123> k1l_: can you help me in PM?
[17:18] <noah123> It's so hard here
[17:18] <noah123> and confusing ;)
[17:19] <noah123> or?
[17:19] <noah123> :)
[17:20] <k1l_> keep support in here please
[17:20] <noah123> ;(
[17:20] <noah123> I have so many questions
[17:20] <anonymous_> any news ?
[17:21] <Amm0n> kokut, identify your card and what module is in use, then unload the module with sudo modprobe -r module and to load it again sudo modprobe module
[17:21] <Amm0n> kokut, that shouldn't break anything
[17:21] <kokut> Amm0n: i'm a lil scared
[17:22] <iuza> noah123: are you on gpt ?
[17:22] <noah123> k1l_: first, tell me what partitions to create, please ...
[17:22] <noah123> Oh
[17:22] <noah123> What?
[17:22] <noah123> iuza
[17:22] <CptRageToaster> brycetd19m: It's not soley ubuntu's issue if you have the same problem with grub,...
[17:22] <rypervenche> !enter | noah123
[17:22] <noah123> ?
[17:22] <rypervenche> bleh, wrong command
[17:23] <Amm0n> kokut, this is not a permanent setting if you reboot everything should be as it was before
[17:23] <iuza> noah123: sometimes if the ubuntu installer cant see windows is because the GPT
[17:23] <Amm0n> kokut, you need to blacklist the module if you want this permanent
[17:23] <brycetd19m> Looking at some of the suggested launchpad fixes is a little scary 3 pages of terminal commands just so you don't have to at every single reboot set the cpu to run at max clock and risk damage/thermal throttling still I would like to know why all this is needed.
[17:24] <noah123> It can see Windows, iuza
[17:24] <kokut> Amm0n: no i dont want it permanent
[17:24] <kokut> Amm0n: how can i find the module?
[17:25] <htqp> Bryanstein: because this is unpaid volunteer tech support raising from the goodness of your peer users' heart
[17:25] <iuza> noah123: open a shell and  sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda, if you get nothing then   sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda
[17:25] <htqp> brycetd19m: was for you
[17:25] <zerothis> I plugged in my android tablet and the mount icon shows an iPoo. I know lots of complicated ways to change it to a tablet, android phone, or custom icon (links, image renames, etc), is there a simple way?
[17:25] <Amm0n> kokut, sudo lsmod and sudo modinfo module
[17:25] <htqp> sorry Bryanstein ignore me please
