[00:01] <SlidingHorn> LTCD: are all of its partitions unmounted?  If so, it is safe to remove/power down.
[00:02] <Diegosi> Hello.
[00:02] <Diegosi> Is it just as good to use Ubuntu on Chrome OS using crouton?
[00:03] <Bashing-om> samsamsam: All I see is " 72651448        home " which is huge . start backing up files out of /home and free up that disk space . delete all that you no longer need .
[00:03] <samsamsam> @Bashing-om Thanks. Will do that
[00:05] <Bashing-om> samsamsam: When space is restored, we must address getting you updated .
[00:07] <Ender_Wiggin> Can someone please assist me, have an error "networking disabled" ubuntu 14.04 using LXDE
[00:09] <fep> «Crocodile» lages ved hjelp av kodein, bensin, rød fosfor (f.eks fra fystikkesker), maursyre, saltsyre og kaustisk soda
[00:09] <fep> sorry
[00:09] <fep> wrong channel
[00:11] <question> Ender_Wiggin: you better try in ##networking channel
[00:12] <SlidingHorn> question: Ender_Wiggin no - that very well could be a channel-appropriate issue here.
[00:12] <Ender_Wiggin> yeah im over there thanks
[00:12] <Ender_Wiggin> if anyone has suggestiongs, let me know please =3
[00:12] <TJ-> samsamsam: Bashing-om "11 gigs not counted" - possible explanation: file-system has run out of inodes
[00:13] <TJ-> Ender_Wiggin: when/where do you see "networking disabled" ?
[00:14] <samsamsam> @Bashing-om I deleted a lot of files now. it shows /dev/sda5 82G   42G   36G  55% /. Still quite a few gigs unaccounted for.
[00:14] <Bashing-om> TJ-: Thenks, will mark that one down ! .. samsamsam : waht returns ' df -i ' ?
[00:14] <TJ-> samsamsam: Bashing-om also, in the 'du' output, there's "System Volume Information" directory, which suggests thats NTFS/FAT not a regular Linux FS
[00:15] <samsamsam> @Bashing-om /dev/sda5 5439488<PHONE_NUMBER>850   10% /
[00:16] <Bashing-om> samsamsam: TJ- .. in that output is the 5% for 'root' accounted for ?
[00:16] <samsamsam> @Bashing-om http://pastebin.com/11h5PQAd
[00:17] <TJ-> Bashing-om: samsamsam the 'reserved space' is, if I recall correctly, accounted for in the 'df' reports, so the Avail/Used columns have adjusted for it
[00:18] <TJ-> samsamsam: what does "sudo blkid /dev/sda5" report ?
[00:18] <tx> I need to blacklist a module from one device, but not another.
[00:18] <tx> they are exactly the same piece of hardware, so it needs to be done using PCI address.
[00:18] <samsamsam> @TJ- /dev/sda5: UUID="54bc01ff-f7ef-4f42-8f8f-2390714d2376" TYPE="ext4"
[00:19] <TJ-> tx: you'd need to disable the PCI device you don't want, first, else the modules probe() function will find and register it
[00:19] <TJ-> samsamsam: oh, surprising. I wonder why it has NTFS file-system structures on it
[00:19] <tx> TJ-, I want to pass the device thru to a VM via VFIO
[00:20] <TJ-> samsamsam: but good, I was fearing it wasn't ext*
[00:20] <tx> nvidia grabs on to it and marks the device as 'in use' so I can not unbind it.
[00:20] <TJ-> tx: modules don't have a facility to ignore selected devices, unfortunately.
[00:21] <tx> hmm, I will attempt to kill X and see if I can unbind it then.
[00:21] <tx> perhaps it will no longer be in use, but I doubt it.
[00:21] <TJ-> samsamsam: if you install the 'ncdu' package and run, from a terminal, "ncdu /home" you get an easy to navigate view of the file-system usage below that directory.
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> got some pastebin info on my iptables and ip a info if anyone can help with my networking disabled issue
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> http://pastebin.com/gpFS9bZW
[00:23] <Ender_Wiggin> http://pastebin.com/0FZN5Vn9
[00:23] <tx> Hmm, that was not a success.
[00:24] <samsamsam> @TJ- Thanks will try that
[00:25] <SlidingHorn> Ender_Wiggin: someone asked you a question trying to help you...please scroll up
[00:25] <tx> Ooh, I wonder if I can leverage Optimus / Bumblebee to 'disable' the card
[00:25] <Ender_Wiggin> ahh crap thanks
[00:26] <SlidingHorn> no problem...happens to the best of us :)
[00:26] <Ender_Wiggin> SlidingHorn you talkin bout someone sugestiong i goto ##networking?
[00:26] <Ender_Wiggin> trying on both channels =P
[00:27] <SlidingHorn> Ender_Wiggin: also, just something that might help...give this script a try so that people can have more info on what you're working with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370108    --   No, TJ- was asking when/where exactly you saw "networking disabled"
[00:28] <TJ-> tx: did you already try using the sysfs unbind interface?
[00:28] <Graf_Z4hl> format c: doesn't work :(
[00:28] <tx> yes
[00:28] <Ender_Wiggin> ah ty
[00:28] <tx> TJ-, kernel complains that it's tainted and spews out a stacktrace
[00:28] <TJ-> tx: ahhh of course, you're using the proprietary driver?
[00:28] <tx> I think I have a solution though, why don't I just load the nvidia module LATER, after I have stolen the card.
[00:29] <tx> yes
[00:29] <TJ-> tx: yes, I was going to suggest that earlier. add the module to the standard blacklist, but have a script the modprobes later
[00:29] <tx> yup
[00:29] <tx> but without any module for them, will I get no FB output?
[00:29] <tx> (noveau is also disabled)
[00:30] <tx> or will it fall back to some primitive VESA output? :p
[00:30] <TJ-> you should be able to use a FB driver, maybe the vesafb
[00:30] <TJ-> tx: have you checked the nvidia driver parms in case it has one to control this ?
[00:30] <tx> Not in detail, will do just now before I commit to this solution.
[00:32] <TJ-> tx: e.g: "modinfo -F parm nvidia-340"
[00:32] <tx>  NVreg_AssignGpus="PCI_address" looks promising
[00:32] <Ender_Wiggin> SlidingHorn sadly i cannot run update because i have no internet connection
[00:32] <TJ-> tx: right, I'd check the HTML appendix for info
[00:32] <tx> Yup, checking it out on their site.
[00:32] <OldDenverGeek> hi, im on 1404, using Gnome Metacity and I don't see under Applications the Programming menu.. how do I get it in there?
[00:33] <TJ-> tx: the FAQ gives the example modprobe nvidia0 NVreg_AssignGpus="0:01:00.0,0:02:00.0"
[00:33] <tx> Indeed.
[00:33] <tx> can I pass these on boot using grub?
[00:33] <tx> (in the cmdline option)
[00:34] <tx> or do I need to specify in /etc/modules (or similar)
[00:35] <TJ-> tx: no, but you can set it in a /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-vtd.conf files with "options nvidia NVreg_AssignGpus="0:01:00.0,0:02:00.0" "
[00:35] <TJ-> tx: obviously, use the correct module-name in place of 'nvidia' there, to make it match
[00:35] <tx> fabulous
[00:36] <TJ-> tx: I'd guess Nvidia added that specifically for supporting CUDA
[00:36] <tx> I shall return with news.
[00:39] <tx> Well, this is promising. Nvidia-settings no longer lists the device.
[00:39] <tx> Let us try binding it to VFIO.
[00:40] <tx> TJ-, Success! You are a gem.
[00:40] <Gallomimia> for some reason my system doesn't have nvidia settings installed. it removed it.
[00:41] <TJ-> tx: glad you solved it; I used that once or twice with an external dual-GPU extension but had forgotten about it
[00:42] <OldDenverGeek> anyone here know how to add to the Applications menu? I don't see the programming submenu..
[00:43] <anabain> Why can't I log without password after running ssh-keygen and copying id_rsa.pub to the remote machine?
[00:43] <senatormeow> Having a hell of a time getting ASU
[00:43] <senatormeow> S touchpad working
[00:43] <senatormeow> On Kernel 4.2, which is all I should need from everything I'm seeing online
[00:44] <TJ-> anabain: did you use "ssh-copy-id" ?
[00:44] <senatormeow> xinput lists it as ELAN1000:00 04F3:0401
[00:45] <anabain> TJ, yes
[00:45] <anabain> TJ-, yes
[00:45] <TJ-> anabain: have you used "ssh -vvv ..." to connect and get debug output
[00:45] <anabain> no, I'll try
[00:46] <TJ-> anabain: and, on the server, have you checked "/var/log/auth.log". You may need to increase the sshd log verbosity too
[00:46] <SlidingHorn> OldDenverGeek: well, if you don't see anything under Applications > System Tools > Application Menu Editor, then you can always install alacarte, which will help you to do the job
[00:47] <anabain> ok, TJ-
[00:49] <TJ-> anabain: you may want "LogLevel DEBUG3" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the testing
[00:54] <anabain> TJ-, that's from ssh -vvv    http://paste.ubuntu.com/13948650/
[00:54] <OldDenverGeek> SlidingHorn: I just checked and under  Applications > System Tools > there is no application menu editor..
[00:55] <SlidingHorn> OldDenverGeek: ok...let's try installing alacarte then:     sudo apt-get install alacarte
[00:55] <anabain> TJ-, local is 15.10, remote 14.04
[00:55] <OldDenverGeek> SlidingHorn: already installed
[00:56] <SlidingHorn> okay, then from your terminal:   alacarte
[00:57] <SlidingHorn> OldDenverGeek: (from there, I'd also add alacarte, itself, to your menu, just so you don't have to get it from command line)
[00:58] <TJ-> anabain: it doesn't look like a ciphers issue. At least, the initial server key exchange is OK. lines 90-93 seem to indicate the server-side doesn't have the pub-key
[00:58] <TJ-> anabain: is the 'server' side user's home directory encrypted?
[00:58] <OldDenverGeek> SlidingHorn: so do I have to do a new item for alacarte? I want to add idle for python as well
[00:58] <SlidingHorn> OldDenverGeek: from this point, you can create entries for whatever you'd like :)
[00:59] <anabain> TJ-, I don't think so, how can I check it?
[00:59] <OldDenverGeek> SlidingHorn: right on!! thanks!
[01:00] <TJ-> anabain: if on the system it has /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/ directory
[01:01] <OldDenverGeek> later
[01:02] <anabain> TJ-, no, there's only the ordinary user's dir
[01:02] <TJ-> anabain: OK, and does the user's $HOME/.ssh/ directory have protective permissions?
[01:03] <anabain> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13948875/
[01:03] <TJ-> anabain: "ll -an $HOME/.ssh/" should start off something like "drwx------   2 1000 1000  4096 Dec  6 10:20 ./"
[01:04] <TJ-> anabain: and the public key that was copied should be found in "-rw-------   1 1000 1000   400 Mar  7  2013 authorized_keys"
[01:04] <anabain> TJ-, yes, I think that's ok
[01:06] <TJ-> anabain: you'll need to do what I recommended on the server, with increasing LogLevel and restarting the ssh service, then trying a connection and checking /var/log/auth.log
[01:06] <anabain> ok
[01:11] <anabain> TJ-, I'm a stupid, this is the 'server's' .ssh dir: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13949024/
[01:12] <TJ-> anabain: right, so the sshd might be refusing to use it since access is available for group and others "drwxrwxrwx"
[01:12] <TJ-> anabain: on the server "chmod go-rwx $HOME/.ssh"
[01:12] <anabain> ok
[01:13] <TJ-> anabain: then you should see that the .ssh/ directory has drwx------
[01:13] <anabain> yes, that's fine now. Do I need to restart the server?
[01:13] <TJ-> anabain: then you should do "chmod go-r $HOME/.ssh/*"
[01:14] <TJ-> anabain: no, restart shouldn't be needed; I'd expect the client to connect now
[01:15] <anabain> TJ-, no success, it keeps asking for the password
[01:16] <TJ-> anabain: OK, add the "LogLevel DEBUG3" to the server's /etc/shh/sshd_config, then restart the service ("sudo service ssh restart") and try again, then check the server's /var/log/auth.log
[01:17] <anabain> ok
[01:19] <yaaic> how can bind o[tions ge added to fstab or specified at boot using ubuntu 14
[01:19] <yaaic> how can bind options be added to fstab or specified at boot using ubuntu 14
[01:21] <yaaic> it looks likr there's a lot of bind processes
[01:21] <anabain> TJ-, this is the output from /var/log/auth.log  on the server: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13949262/
[01:22] <yaaic> it looks like there's a lot of bind processes
[01:23] <TJ-> anabain: line 195 "debug1: trying public key file /home/joan/.ssh/authorized_keys2"
[01:24] <TJ-> anabain: have you edited the "AuthorizedKeysFile" setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and made a typo?
[01:25] <yaaic> rbinding
[01:25] <yaaic> rcus
[01:27] <anabain> I'll check, but I don't think so:
[01:27] <anabain> TJ-, that's what I have on my server's sshd_config:  #AuthorizedKeysFile     %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
[01:27] <anabain> It seems the line is commented...
[01:27] <TJ-> anabain: on the server do "sudo grep  'authorized_keys2' /etc/ssh/*"
[01:28] <TJ-> anabain: anything in /etc/default/ssh ?
[01:28] <anabain> grep outputs nothing
[01:29] <yrumbog> anabain: try sudo
[01:29] <TJ-> anabain: how about "sudo grep  'authorized_keys2' /etc/pam.d/*"
[01:30] <TJ-> anabain: let's check what ssh server session is active: "ps -efly | grep sshd"
[01:31] <anabain> TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13949490/
[01:31] <TJ-> anabain: the server is 14.04 you said?
[01:32] <TJ-> !info openssh-server trusty
[01:32] <anabain> yes, kubuntu trusty
[01:33] <anabain> ii  openssh-server                              1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2.3                      amd64
[01:33] <TJ-> anabain: ok, that matches. That "authorized_keys2" reference is apparently a deprecated feature (since 2001!) for ssh version 1.3/1.5 vs 2.0 keys
[01:33] <anabain> wow
[01:34] <TJ-> anabain: but I'm tired, and that is the fallback after the real problem, which is still there staring us in the face! More permissions issues. see line 192! " Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/joan"
[01:35] <TJ-> anabain: show us "ll -d /home/joan"
[01:36] <anabain> I have no ll command on my 14.04
[01:36] <TJ-> anabain: ok, use "ls -ld /home/joan"
[01:36] <anabain> drwxrwxrwx 164 joan joan 12288 des 10 22:49 /home/joan/
[01:36] <TJ-> anabain: 'll' is an alias set by bash
[01:37] <anabain> ok
[01:37] <TJ-> anabain: there's your problem then, at some point you've changed the permissions. I have to wonder if you've done "chmod -R 777 /" at some point?
[01:38] <anabain> probably, perhaps when reinstalling the system or whatever. Most probably yes, I did it. Mea culpa
[01:38] <TJ-> anabain: there may be other issues, but this should fix the ssh issue: "sudo chmod -R g-rw,o-rwx /home/joan"
[01:39] <TJ-> anabain: other applications or services may have other strange problems if those permissions changes have been done on other areas of the file-system
[01:40] <anabain> perhaps this can explain why I had so many troubles when I tried nfs between these two boxes... Could it be so?
[01:41] <TJ-> anabain: permissions can cause many problems
[01:41] <anabain> drwx--x--- 164 joan joan 12288 des 10 22:49 /home/joan/
[01:41] <anabain> that's the new output
[01:41] <TJ-> anabain: I'd expect ssh client to connect now
[01:42] <anabain> yes!!!!
[01:42] <anabain> oh, thanks
[01:42] <anabain> thank you so much
[01:42] <anabain> you've so kind and helpful, TJ-
[01:43] <TJ-> anabain: don't forget to undo that additional LogLevel setting
[01:43] <anabain> yes, I was just doing it
[01:46] <DirtyCajun> there are just a couple things that i am not comfortable doing via CLI, partition management for example. so what is the LIGHTEST desktop humanly possible that is just enough of a desktop to see gparted haha
[01:46] <Bashing-om> sam
[01:47] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: I'm the opposite, I don't trust a GUI built on top of the CLI tooling to get it right every time!
[01:47] <DirtyCajun> :O
[01:47] <DirtyCajun> the irony
[01:47] <DirtyCajun> so light gutted desktop opinion?
[01:49] <yrumbog> DirtyCajun: nno
[01:49] <DirtyCajun> so far my internet search says LXDE
[01:50] <Bashing-om> !minimal | DirtyCajun Build what you want :
[01:50] <yrumbog> DirtyCajun: you got ot
[01:51] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: LXDE requires 800+ packages, XFCE about 300 - I found this out last week
[01:51] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: that's the dependencies for lubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop, respectively
[01:51] <DirtyCajun> interesting. so you would say xfce is less resource intensive?
[01:52] <LienRag> if you're searching for a light desktop, try OpenBox
[01:53] <DirtyCajun> i basically wish i could have SOLELY server. with a remote desktop gparted for 30 sec every now and again iahahaha
[01:53] <DirtyCajun> if only right?
[01:53] <TJ-> nah, 5 seconds with parted
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> but but but
[01:54] <TJ-> there should be no need to mess with partitions after initial install, if its done correctly
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> the commands are convoluded to me
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> no tj thats the whole point
[01:54] <Dylan____>  Can someone help me install java from offical website for ubuntu
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> i am running an ever expanding file server
[01:54] <Dylan____> I dont want to use shady ppas etc
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> i need LVM
[01:54] <DirtyCajun> and the ability to add more HDD on the fly
[01:55] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: right, that is what I was going to suggest. Use LVM and forget about partitions
[01:55] <DirtyCajun> but the LVM CL confuses me
[01:55] <nishant> hi buddy, can any
[01:56] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: plug-in drive, system sees /dev/sdX, do "pvcreate /dev/sdX; vgextend VG /dev/sdX"
[01:56] <nishant> hi buddy, is there any one to help me "how to install windows software using wine
[01:57] <DirtyCajun> dont you have to do other commands for it to see the change internally?
[01:57] <LienRag> nishant: do you need wine specifically?
[01:57] <LienRag> Can't you use a VM for Windows?
[01:57] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: no
[01:57] <DirtyCajun> O.o
[01:58] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: once the PV is added to the VG, the new extents area available for use
[01:58] <nishant> yes, i have installed it
[01:58] <LienRag> yes but a VMed windows is so much easier to use
[01:58] <DirtyCajun> ok so then you need to extend the current LV to the maximum size of the disk
[01:59] <LienRag> I've tried wine and had success with some softwares but failed with others
[01:59] <DirtyCajun> then you gotta tell it something else. im lookin on the help.ubuntu.com right now
[01:59] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: I never fully allocate the extents, I always keep some in reserve
[01:59] <DirtyCajun> why?
[02:00] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: right, so "lvextend -L +200G VG/LV"
[02:01] <TJ-> DirtyCajun: why? for doing snapshots, temporary file-systems, moving extents off failed disks
[02:01] <nishant> so how do i do that
[02:02] <LienRag> that what? Wine or VM?
[02:02] <nishant> wine
[02:03] <DirtyCajun> i get my new rack server in the morning. thats why im working on all this. if i get stuck imma find you tomorrow TJ ok?
[02:04] <Mneuro> Does the Xbox One controller work in Ubuntu?  I was under the impression I could connect it via USB and it would work
[02:04] <TJ-> Mneuro: I understand it depends on which model, and which driver on Linux
[02:04] <LienRag> Sorry, I forgot how I did it, it wasn't very difficult IIRC, just get your exe package and follow the tutorial. But once again, Wine is really an inferior solution to VMs, it was useful before we had VM
[02:05] <Mneuro> TJ- I am using the official Xbox One controller and I have Ubuntu 15.10
[02:06] <nishant> hey buddy help me to come from this, so that i can use printer
[02:07] <LienRag> your printer has a driver that runs only on windows?
[02:07] <LienRag> can't you find a linux driver?
[02:07] <TJ-> Mneuro: there was another user here earlier trying to get a compatible controller to work in similar circumstances, on both 14.04 and 15.10, and wasn't having much success for Steam games at least
[02:07] <nishant> yes that is the only problem  that it runs only on windows
[02:07] <LienRag> I never used WIne for such a thing, I don't know if it will work
[02:07] <harduim> nishant, what is the model?
[02:08] <Mneuro> TJ- It isn't even turning my controller on when i plug it in
[02:08] <Mneuro> I tested it in windows and it worked fine
[02:08] <harduim> Mneuro, in the same machine?
[02:08] <TJ-> Mneuro: the user earlier was using the xboxdrv package, and needed the latest 0.8.6 or 0.8.7 version to get the controller LED to turn on
[02:08] <nishant> hp deskjet 2520
[02:09] <DirtyCajun> omg. gparted has a liveboot cd. its just gparted.... JUST WHEN YOU NEED IT. that beats any desktop
[02:09] <Mneuro> Yea it's the same machine
[02:09] <Mneuro> I should just have xpad installed
[02:09] <Mneuro> i haven't changed anything from the default install of 15.10
[02:10] <TJ-> nishant: doesn't the 'hplip' package support that device?
[02:10] <nishant> no it won't
[02:11] <LienRag> well, good luck
[02:11] <LienRag> I'm not qualified for this
[02:11] <nishant> too i've a micromax modem and even it doesnot get install
[02:15] <TJ-> nishant: according to HP it is supported: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet_aio/deskjet_2520_series.html
[02:15] <nishant> ok then i'll try for it again
[02:16] <nishant> but what about mmx modem its linex folder doesnot has any application
[02:17] <nishant> to install
[02:17] <TJ-> nishant: sounds like a soft 'win'modem
[02:19] <nishant> i dont know that but i can give you the details of that modem it is: mmx210g
[02:21] <Mneuro> I connect my xbox one controller to Ubuntu 15.10, it vibrates but doesn't turn on and ubuntu doesn't see it
[02:21] <TJ-> nishant: oh, a USB 3G cellular device? ModemManager should be able to manage most of those kind of devices
[02:22] <nishant> then why i m not able to install it
[02:23] <Ryom> Can anyone here answer a question I have about connecting to the internet 12.04?
[02:23] <TJ-> nishant: install what? no 'install' should be needed for most USB devices
[02:23] <TJ-> nishant: check if ModemManager knows about it with "mmcli -L"
[02:24] <nishant> but it is not working without installing, how can i use this modem for using internet
[02:24] <nishant> connection
[02:24] <anabain> TJ-, just a question related to my permissions, problem: it seems you told me to set my home user to 710, right? But "normal" user permissions for home/user dirs are 755. Is there any reason to prefer 710 instead of 755?
[02:25] <Bashing-om> Ryom: Maybe, ask the question and see .
[02:26] <TJ-> anabain: that last 5 is others=r-x ... do you want any other user able to read/traverse the user's $HOME ?
[02:26] <anabain> ok
[02:26] <Ryom> Just checking if there's help out there. I'm good
[02:28] <nishant> hey tj please help me for this modem
[02:28] <TJ-> anabain: the standard umask is, if I recall correctly, Debian used to use 022 but we prefer 027 or 077 now. It's set my pam_umask based on the config in /etc/login.defs
[02:29] <TJ-> nishant: i already did, but you haven't responded yet
[02:30] <anabain> TJ-, my MASK value in /etc/login.defs in both boxes is 022
[02:30] <TJ-> and it's 02:30 here so I'm leaving!
[02:31] <HackerII> its only 0230 ?
[02:31] <HackerII> the nite is young
[02:31] <anabain> 3:30 here
[02:36] <robe13> Was trying to install emacs24, it only grabbed a few of the dependences, started spitting out 404 and cannot validate errors. googled, suggested fix was sudo-apt update, which also spit out a lot of 404s. googled again, suggested just upgrading distro (I'm on 14.10) so ran dist-upgrade... immediately getting 404's everywhere. canceled operation
[02:37] <robe13> Any idea what's going on?

[02:57] <Bashing-om> robe13: Are you still on 14.10 ? what happened ?
[03:00] <robe13> Yeah, still on 14.10. Followed steps (update manager, update ubuntu-desktop) both came out as up to date already. apt-get the kernel header, got a screen full of 404s again. I'm gonna try to generate a default source list
[03:01] <staticsn0w> EriC^^ you online?
[03:01] <staticsn0w> guess not
[03:01] <Bashing-om> robe13: In the instructions is to convert you sources.list file to "old-releases.ubuntu.com" . Did you ?
[03:05] <Bashing-om> RNeville: "iU  linux-generic-lts-vivid " we may have to do this the manual way . what happens with ' sudo apt-get autoremove' as the 'iU' says the meta control package is not installed .
[03:06] <RNeville> not following bot Bashing-om
[03:08] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Sorry, I do not understand that last . I an awaiting to see the results from terminal command ' sudo apt-get autoremove [ . then see what is to be done to remove the old kernels .
[03:09] <RNeville> just a moment Bashing-om
[03:09] <RNeville> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13951955/
[03:10] <Bashing-om> RNeville: look'n at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/13951955/ .
[03:10] <slidinghorn> Any reason that adding a new network via nm-connection-editor would cause my scan for wifi networks return no results...as soon as i remove it and scan, available networks show up again.
[03:11] <Bashing-om> RNeville: " http://paste.ubuntu.com/13951955/ " , what is that output from ?
[03:18] <Viking667> I have a weird ... problem.
[03:19] <Viking667> I can set any keyboard layout I like, and when I select "Show Keyboard Layout" from the Gnome3 toolbar, it always shows me the layout in "Microsoft Natural" (the split-keyboard).
[03:19] <robe13> Bashing-om: Sorry, yeah, I did update the source. Should everything in the source list be removed ?
[03:20] <Viking667> How do I get that layout to be changed to a normal keyboard, not a Natural keyboard?
[03:20] <vocx> Viking667, what's the difference?
[03:21] <Viking667> On the "Natural" layout, a `/~ key doesn't show
[03:21] <RNeville> Bashing-om,    sudo apt-get autoremove | pastebinit was the last command I used pastebinit with
[03:21] <Viking667> In addition, I'm trying to figure out where stuff is, and something's not making sense.
[03:22] <Bashing-om> robe13: If sources.list is updated .. AND there are no installed PPAs that 15.04 DOES not support . now run ' sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ' . does all run clean prior to doing the actual release upgrade ?
[03:23] <Bashing-om> RNeville: K look'n again now that I know . Be right back .
[03:24] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Does not look so good .. OK, show me a new ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' and we do this manually .
[03:25] <RNeville> k Bashing-om
[03:25] <RNeville> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13952384/
[03:26] <robe13> Bashing-om: stupid question 'no installed PPAs that 15.04 does not support' ? Maybe I am misunderstanding. I have the vanilla source list, + EOL upgrade sources list with CODENAME changed to Utopic
[03:27] <robe13> Should everything else except the EOL upgrade sources be commented out?
[03:27] <Bashing-om> robe13: We find a lot of times in a release upgrade that many PPAs have no support in 15.04 . Ta want us to verify the source.list ?
[03:28] <robe13> Bashing-om: I'll pastebin what I have, maybe I misunderstanding something in the instructions. One moment

[03:30] <georgewhite> I get an Internal Server Error (500) after waiting for a while
[03:31] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Let's begin the clean up ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.19.0-25-generic linux-image-extra-3.19.0-25-generic ' .

[03:32] <aten> ubuntu dont work on my pc
[03:32] <aten> when i boot
[03:32] <Bashing-om> robe13: Checking your http://pastebin.com/JPiAj1nS .
[03:32] <aten> screen hold
[03:32] <RNeville> ok Bashing-om , ran the command above
[03:32] <aten> key not work
[03:33] <georgewhite> aten: you’ll need to be more specific than that – what does the screen display when it freezes?
[03:34] <Bashing-om> RNeville: L and no errors ? now we need to know what kernel you are booting . We must not mess with that booting kernel ! Show ' uname -r ' .
[03:34] <aten> ubuntu screen boot is hold
[03:34] <georgewhite> Finally SSO worked!
[03:34] <Viking667> how do you mean, hold?
[03:35] <Viking667> stuck?
[03:35] <aten> keyboard not work
[03:35] <RNeville> no errors Bashing-om
[03:35] <Viking667> if you hit capslock does the light turn on and off?

[03:39] <aten> what do you think ?
[03:40] <Bashing-om> robe13: Nope, you want ALL instances of " us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" changed to " old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ " . a sed command will do that handily ' sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list ' . And yes you want codename as the current install ' utopic' .
[03:40] <julian-delphiki> DirtyCajun, lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/myvg/testlv
[03:40] <Viking667> hm. I don't know how to fix that.
[03:40] <julian-delphiki> DirtyCajun, lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/myvg/testlv should do 100%
[03:40] <Viking667> aten: what will http://ubuntu.pl/  do if you open that in a browser?
[03:40] <julian-delphiki> woah my scrollback was way back

[04:11] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Great ,, now let's look again ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' see of the package manager healed our woes .

[04:16] <dumle29_irssi> Hi, having some issues with my ubuntu. I was running xp in virtual box, trying to get a windows only program running, and now gnome is entirely unresponsivel to keyboard inputs and mouse clicks
[04:16] <dumle29_irssi> mouse cursor moves. Music from soundcloud plays, irc in my gui client scrolls by neatly
[04:17] <dumle29_irssi> It's worth to mention as well, that I'm also putting windows 10 on a flashdrive

[04:17] <dumle29_irssi> any pointers on how I can get gnome back?
[04:20] <Viking667> hm. I'm reminded of something-task-gnome-desktop...
[04:20] <dumle29_irssi> I've killed the xp vm box via kill -9
[04:20] <dumle29_irssi> still no dice
[04:20] <dumle29_irssi> Viking667: Could I kill that and start it again?
[04:20] <ProbablyAndy> dumle29_irssi: if you run top, is there anything sitting at teh top of the list, eating up cpu?
[04:20] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Humm, do not know where it failed try again ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.19.0-{28,30,31,33}-generic ' .
[04:20] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: Let me check
[04:21] <Viking667> and yes, in this case I probably won't be much help
[04:21] <Viking667> (that was to dumle29_irssi
[04:21] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: Java is
[04:21] <ProbablyAndy> hmm
[04:21] <ProbablyAndy> you might try killing that
[04:21] <ProbablyAndy> i think its running the virtualbox gui
[04:21] <Bashing-om> zykotick9: :) , one for all and all for 1 .
[04:21] <Viking667> but to install gnome-desktop, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop

[04:22] <dumle29_irssi> still no dice
[04:23] <ProbablyAndy> whats at the top of top now?
[04:24] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: chromium
[04:24] <dumle29_irssi> but that's fair

[04:47] <inteus> dumle29_irssi: just in case chrome is using java for some reason
[04:48] <inteus> the music player in chrome, does it use java?
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> maybe
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> it's soundcloud
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> plays fine, no hitching or anything
[04:48] <ProbablyAndy> looks like java is running freenet
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> aahh
[04:48] <dumle29_irssi> fuck that. where to kill? :P
[04:49] <ProbablyAndy> i dunno.  it was that java process.  is it a system service?  maybe its getting relaunched automagically.
[04:49] <dumle29_irssi> I installed it, and found out it was pretty much deadly slow, and 30% CP, so no thanks
[04:49] <ProbablyAndy> thats a systemd thing, right?  to relaunch processes that have crashed?
[04:49] <dumle29_irssi> freenet is a bit-torrent browser
[04:49] <dumle29_irssi> kinda thing. Websites hosted in bit-torrent fashion
[04:50] <ProbablyAndy> ah interesting.
[04:50] <dumle29_irssi> I don't hope systemd is doing that.
[04:50] <dumle29_irssi> I can see if it's a known service
[04:52] <dumle29_irssi> Doesn't seem so
[04:52] <dumle29_irssi> I killed the freenode pid
[04:52] <dumle29_irssi> theat other java thing still keeps coming back
[04:53] <ProbablyAndy> does "crontab -l" show anything?
[04:53] <ProbablyAndy> perhaps sudo crontab -l
[04:54] <DuelBootHelp> Hello. I have Ubuntu intsalled as my primary system, but would like to duel boot Windows. Is this possible with Ubuntu installed first?
[04:54] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: You’d need to resize your Ubuntu partition using a Ubuntu live disc
[04:55] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: If you look at the javathing running the freenet
[04:55] <dumle29_irssi> ProbablyAndy: See how there's a pid listed? in the 1500s
[04:55] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: before you install Windows
[04:55] <dumle29_irssi> I killed that, and the runaway process, seesm to not be coming back now. Let's see if gnome works
[04:56] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: (Windows can’t resize Ubuntu’s partitions)
[04:56] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: Use GParted to do this
[04:56] <DuelBootHelp> ok
[04:56] <DuelBootHelp> so one sec
[04:56] <Dumle29> Aaaand I'M BACK!
[04:56] <Dumle29> yay :D
[04:56] <DuelBootHelp> I have an ubuntu live disk and my windows disk
[04:56] <Dumle29> this time I fixed it instead of force rebooting :D
[04:56] <DuelBootHelp> now what I need to do is boot into ubuntu live disk, correct??
[04:56] <ProbablyAndy> Dumle29: sweet.
[04:57] <ProbablyAndy> and i learned more about looking at the whole command thats running :D
[04:57] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: yes, and then, once Windows is installed, boot to your Live disk again and follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[04:57] <DuelBootHelp> ty ty
[04:57] <georgewhite> DuelBootHelp: You’re welcome.
[04:58] <yanivkalfa> I've checked out a repository from github today, the repository had several folders and files with different permission is there a way to set all of the file permission for the entire repository ?
[04:58] <Dylan____>  How do you become a fourm moderator for ubuntu fourms?
[04:58] <georgewhite> yanivkalfa: chmod -R?
[04:59] <Dumle29> ProbablyAndy: Just for clousure :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/13953914/ line 151
[04:59] <yanivkalfa> georgewhite, We've tried that
[04:59] <Dylan____> !patience
[04:59] <yanivkalfa> didnt seem to effect the right files
[04:59] <yanivkalfa> we changed owner and mod
[04:59] <Dumle29> ProbablyAndy: That's the one that kept reviving the java of death
[04:59] <georgewhite> yanivkalfa: Then there might be ACLs.
[04:59] <Dumle29> thanks a lot for the help :)
[05:00] <georgewhite> yanivkalfa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissionsACLs
[05:00] <lorddaedra> hello) how to emulate WORM functionality for HDD/SSD?
[05:00] <lorddaedra> (WORM = Write Once Read Many, so it's protection from removing files from disc after they were copied to disc once)
[05:00] <yanivkalfa> georgewhite, Will read that
[05:01] <georgewhite> Just clear all of the ACLs in that repository
[05:01] <georgewhite> and try again
[05:01] <ProbablyAndy> Dumle29: anytime, was a fun one.  It was nice to work with someone patient.
[05:01] <Dumle29> ProbablyAndy: I could say the same back :P
[05:02] <Dumle29> but you guys in here are always so danm patient :P
[05:03] <ProbablyAndy> i'm rather impressed.  i don't even use ubuntu, but i figured i'd stop by and see how things are in the old stomping grounds ( i used ubuntu quite a bit back in 2004ish, and hung out in here)
[05:04] <Dumle29> Heh, the funny  / sad thing, is that this is tons friendlier and better than windows livechat
[05:05] <Dumle29> which I've had to deal with once
[05:05] <Dumle29> because of a stupid dumb bug in windows
[05:06] <Dumle29> I was basically told a full 15 line paragraph on how they probably couldn't help me, but they were going to try if I kept writing. Before I asked anything.
[05:06] <Dumle29> Oh well, that's the off topic for me in here. I've heard they prefer that over in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[05:06] <yanivkalfa> does file permission stay in github ?
[05:06] <yanivkalfa> Like say i make a repo locally then push it github
[05:07] <Dumle29> test time :)
[05:07] <Dumle29> if they are stored on a linux file system, and aren't altered at githubs servers, then they should retain permissions
[05:09] <Jaxkr> So I am getting desperate. I have a Roccat Kone Pure mouse. Sensitivity options for this mouse do not show up in the system settings for Ubuntu. I tried making a script with "xset m 0 0" and then running it on startup, and it worked great! It disabled acceleration just like I needed it to. However, there was one small issue, when I suspended the computer and then woke it back up my acceleration was insane again.
[05:09] <Jaxkr> What's the best way to disable mouse acceleration in a persistent way if you have an unsupported mouse?
[05:09] <Dumle29> hmm. you could hook it to a cronjob that runs at login
[05:09] <Dumle29> don't remember if there's an @ for that
[05:10] <Jaxkr> but does a login cron run when waking from suspend?
[05:10] <Dumle29> hmm, don't thin so :/
[05:10] <Jaxkr> Yeah.
[05:10] <staticsn0w> guys i need some help :/
[05:11] <ProbablyAndy> it used to be that there were hooks in /etc/acpid, but that was a while ago.  there should be some kind of resume hook though
[05:11] <slidinghorn> Jaxkr: On my phone, so my google-fu isn't strong right now, but google how to execute/reinitialize something on wake up...give me like 30 min or so and ill be home
[05:11] <Jaxkr> hm, so crontab is the answer? Are you sure there isn't a conf file somewhere that controls x sensitivity.
[05:11] <Jaxkr> slidinghorn, thanks! I'll take a google.
[05:11] <Jaxkr> staticsn0w, ask away.
[05:11] <ProbablyAndy> you can't have the whole google
[05:12] <ProbablyAndy> that would be silly
[05:12] <Jaxkr> wathc me.
[05:12] <staticsn0w> so i just reinstalled ubuntu on my pc cause something must have corupted, and now i have to go in to my boot menu and select the "ubuntu" option under UEFI
[05:12] <ProbablyAndy> lol
[05:12] <staticsn0w> it wont boot in to grub
[05:13] <staticsn0w> i have a dell insperon 3520
[05:13] <Jaxkr> well, that's a rather complex issue.
[05:13] <Jaxkr> there are a lot of things that could be causing that.
[05:13] <staticsn0w> :/
[05:13] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: Try booting a Live disk and running Boot Repair
[05:13] <staticsn0w> ok
[05:13] <Jaxkr> have you tried pulling up your bios boot menu
[05:14] <staticsn0w> when i boot my pc it goes in to some psx boot rom or something like that
[05:14] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[05:14] <staticsn0w> ok thanks
[05:14] <Jaxkr> So I figured out how to run a script on startup, but I would rather change a config file than run xset a lot. Is there no better way to change mouse acceleration?
[05:18] <staticsn0w> fixed it!
[05:18] <staticsn0w> i just set my default boot options to UEFI instead of Legacy :P
[05:19] <Jaxkr> Yay!
[05:19] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: good to know it’s fixed!
[05:19] <staticsn0w> now i dont get grub, but it goes right in to ubuntu! which is VERY convenient for me :D
[05:19] <Jaxkr> So if anyone has a mouse solution that isn't a script let me know.
[05:19] <Jaxkr> staticsn0w, grub just lets you pick your operating system. pretty simple. :)
[05:20] <staticsn0w> dont need it
[05:20] <staticsn0w> but im very happy this works now
[05:20] <staticsn0w> i bricked my pc earlier because i coorrupted grub and ubuntu
[05:20] <staticsn0w> just got a live usb today (which took me HOURS to make since i used wine on a mac)
[05:21] <Jaxkr> staticsn0w, what.
[05:21] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: You could probably convert the command in the guide to a Xorg.d configuration file: http://askubuntu.com/questions/205676/how-to-change-mouse-speed-sensitivity
[05:21] <Jaxkr> you know you can make a boot usb on mac natively.
[05:21] <staticsn0w> i didnt have the admin pass for it by the way
[05:22] <georgewhite> Yeah. dd requires an admin account.
[05:22] <staticsn0w> so i had to find a workaround, which happened to be UNETbootin for win
[05:22] <staticsn0w> :P
[05:22] <Jaxkr> you can get admin on any mac really easy
[05:22] <Jaxkr> just hold control s on bootup
[05:22] <Jaxkr> mount the drive
[05:22] <staticsn0w> didnt feel like doing that
[05:22] <staticsn0w> oh ok
[05:22] <Jaxkr> then rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
[05:22] <Jaxkr> ez admin.
[05:23] <staticsn0w> im gonna ask the guy who lended me this usb key if i can keep it for a backup lol
[05:23] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MouseCustomizations follow this guide for configuring Xorg’s mouse setting
[05:24] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: and these are the settings that you want: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration
[05:24] <Jaxkr> oh yeah I tried this.
[05:24] <Jaxkr> Do I have to create those files?
[05:24] <Jaxkr> They do not exist.
[05:25] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: yes
[05:25] <georgewhite> The last section says that ‘Mouse acceleration has changed dramatically in recent X server versions; using xset to disable acceleration doesn't work as it used to and is not recommended anymore.’
[05:25] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: so it’s probably best to follow the last section
[05:26] <staticsn0w> ive got to retheme my pc now rofl
[05:27] <georgewhite> Jaxkr: because it supports newer Xorg versions.
[05:28] <staticsn0w> and install everything again....
[05:28] <staticsn0w> lolllll
[05:29] <Jack3k3> so i messed up my system when trying to install nvidia drivers, now when Im at the login screen and login the screen flashes black and returns back to the login screen
[05:30] <Jack3k3> i think its because i removed nvidia-current and the noveau drivers so im trying to add them back but now I can't get my wireless adapter to connect from the CLI!!
[05:30] <staticsn0w> Jack3k3 happened to me before, reinstall ubuntu
[05:30] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3:  what does "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" show you ?
[05:31] <Jack3k3> No devices detected. Failed to load module "nv
[05:31] <Jack3k3> No devices detected. Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0). Failed to initialize GLX extension (compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[05:31] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: I don’t think you need to do that! That’s a bit drastic!
[05:31] <ProbablyAndy> if you run "lsmod", is nvidia listed?
[05:32] <staticsn0w> guys, some of th default sources are giving 404s :(
[05:32] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: What do you mean?
[05:32] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: in apt?
[05:32] <Jack3k3> it is not listed, however nouveau is
[05:32] <ProbablyAndy> interesting
[05:33] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: It’s probably because you need to run apt-get update
[05:33] <ProbablyAndy> so if you do "sudo modprobe -r nouveau && modprobe nvidia"... what does it say?
[05:33] <ProbablyAndy> erm, sudo modprobe nvidia
[05:33]  * ProbablyAndy is out of the sudo habit
[05:34] <Jack3k3> Well i ran those separately and for the nouveau one it said FATAL: module nouveau is in use
[05:35] <Jack3k3> while for the nvidia one it just returned without saying anything
[05:35] <ProbablyAndy> it sort of sounds like the xorg nvidia driver got installed, the kernel nvidia driver didn't, and nouveau is getting loaded anyway.
[05:35] <georgewhite> Jack3k3: If it returns nothing then that means the module was loaded successfully.
[05:35] <ProbablyAndy> whats the end of dmesg look like?
[05:36] <ProbablyAndy> maybe you just need to blacklist nouveau
[05:36] <ProbablyAndy> and then reboot
[05:38] <ojii> is there a way to create a wifi hotspot (in 15.04) from the command line? the network manager "use as hotspot" button does nothing for me
[05:39] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | Jack3k3 Maybe ? :
[05:39] <Jack3k3> ProbablyAndy, no luck, I checked lsmod, noveau is not there now, so i did mobprobe -r nvidia and tried logging in without luck
[05:40] <Jack3k3> additionally lsmod still does not list nvidia
[05:40] <Abe> ojii: do you mean your router with hotspot? what are you trying can you be more specific?
[05:41] <ProbablyAndy> Bashing-om: isn't the nomodeset thing before you get to X?
[05:41] <staticsn0w> this iswhat i get when i run apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13955517/
[05:41] <Jack3k3> yeah my login screen looks fine, its only once i login that it flashes and returns back to the login screen
[05:41] <staticsn0w> why is some of the default repos 404ing?
[05:41] <ojii> Abe, I want my ubuntu laptop to ask as an AP for my phone/other laptopt. it's connected to the internet via ethernet/pppoe
[05:42] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: ooh.  that is weird.  so Xorg runs....probably using nouveau.  But your window manager is crashing
[05:42] <Jack3k3> pretty much
[05:42] <Bashing-om> ProbablyAndy: Yeah .. should load the FBvesa driver .
[05:42] <ProbablyAndy> which window manager?
[05:42] <Jack3k3> kdm
[05:44] <ojii> Abe, "act as an", not ask. basically i want to be able to connect to the internet from my phone via my ubuntu laptop
[05:44] <Abe> ojii: If you cannot open the gui try opening it with " nm-connection-editor "
[05:45] <ojii> Abe, i guess I then hit "add"->"wifi"->"create"?
[05:46] <staticsn0w> also a bunch of dependencies are missing
[05:46] <staticsn0w> how do i fully update ubuntu?
[05:46] <buaya> test
[05:46] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: utopic simply isn’t supported by that US archive for some reason (http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/)
[05:46] <staticsn0w> like, without making a live usb etc
[05:46] <Abe> ojii: I am reading into it right now by myself I am not connected to my phone
[05:46] <ojii> okay thanks
[05:47] <Jack3k3> this is the guide I followed that broke it :\

[05:47] <SeriouslyLaugh> !update | staticsn0w
[05:47] <staticsn0w> and im scared to make a new live usb i fear that im writing to it too much
[05:47] <staticsn0w> oh thanks
[05:47] <SeriouslyLaugh> staticsn0w run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:47] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: it in Software Sources!
[05:47] <staticsn0w> awesome thanks
[05:48] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: a guide from 2013 - ballsy :D
[05:48] <georgewhite> staticsn0w: *change it in Software Sources
[05:48] <Abe> ojii: here read into it yourself it's just a translate but i'm reading the original
[05:48] <Abe> https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Howto/Hotspot_auf_PC_einrichten&prev=search
[05:48] <kostkon> staticsn0w, support has ended for utopic. You need to upgrade to a newer release.
[05:49] <staticsn0w> huh, ok! :P
[05:49] <staticsn0w> so just make a new live usb?
[05:49] <ojii> Abe, oh lucky, i can read german
[05:49] <Jack3k3> ProbablyAndy, haha yes, but to be fair im using Mint 14 which is ubuntu12 i believe so I was hoping itd be okay
[05:50] <staticsn0w> ojii kurzgesagt, tell me what that means :D
[05:50] <SeriouslyLaugh> staticsn0w http://www.noobslab.com/2015/04/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-1504-vivid.html
[05:50] <SlidingHorn> !mint | Jack3k3
[05:50] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: fair enough.  all i can think to do this time is start looking at the ends of the Xorg log files to maybe find some clues as to why your WM is grenading.
[05:51] <Abe> ojii: sorry
[05:51] <Jack3k3> okay ill give it a go thanks
[05:51] <SeriouslyLaugh> staticsn0w note I haven't personally done this so I can't offer any additional assistance
[05:51] <staticsn0w> lol ok
[05:52] <ojii> Abe, whelp "Error: Connection activation failed."
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> staticsn0w also i've heard of people running into MANY issues upgrading from LTS to non-LTS
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> so be careful
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> a fresh install might be better, to be honest.
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> but i could be wrong
[05:52] <staticsn0w> seriouslylaugh ill just reinstall completely lol
[05:52] <staticsn0w> yeah'
[05:52] <SlidingHorn> staticsn0w: remind me: what was your question?
[05:52] <SeriouslyLaugh> cool
[05:52] <ojii> oh should've read further down
[05:53] <Abe> ojii: do you have an android phone
[05:53] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: another thought.  It could be that the WM configuration is somehow messed up.  If its KDE, you can sometimes do "mv ~/.kde ~/.kde.old" to reset the configuration and see if it works
[05:53]  * SlidingHorn was on his phone earlier, sorry
[05:53] <ojii> Abe, yes, somewhere
[05:53] <staticsn0w> SlidingHorn none now, its all good! :D
[05:53] <Abe> No is that the phone you wanna use ?
[05:53] <SlidingHorn> staticsn0w:  oh, good then :)
[05:53] <ojii> ideally i'd wanna use my iphone
[05:54] <staticsn0w> anyone know how to format a usb flashdrive on ubuntu?
[05:54] <georgewhite> Use GParted?
[05:54] <ojii> at the end of the day what I want to do is use my phone headset for a google hangout call, but my ubuntu laptop has split mic/headphones ports, so i want to use my phone instead, but don't want to waste all my 4G
[05:54] <georgewhite> or search for Disks staticsn0w
[05:54] <staticsn0w> ok :)
[05:54] <georgewhite> and use GNOME’s Disks tool (it should be installed in UbuntU)
[05:55] <georgewhite> *Ubuntu

[05:57] <Guest34639> Ubuntu not reading flash drive or my cell phone
[05:58] <Overlap> wwwd can you solve my prob ?
[05:59] <Kiddddd> Hello I'm on ubuntu and trying to install windows to duel boot. However when I shrunk my partition it says windows can't install on gpt partition. How do I format the unallocated space to mbr
[05:59] <Overlap> Ubuntu gone mad
[05:59] <wwwd> Overlap what the problem?
[05:59] <Kiddddd> I would really appreciated some help!
[05:59] <Overlap> since it received updates
[05:59] <Overlap> ubuntu not readung flash drive, or my cell phones
[05:59] <Overlap> launcher sets to default everytime system boots
[06:00] <Overlap> my wall paper changed
[06:00] <wwwd> kiddddd Used to be that you had to install windows first then install linux ...widows likes to be on the first sectors of the disk if I remember correctly.
[06:00] <Kiddddd> yes well I have installed ubuntu first
[06:00] <Kiddddd> so
[06:00] <Abe> ojii: type " nm-connection-editor " and try it with Ad-hoc you need the right connection settings for I phone
[06:01] <Overlap> yes you're right  wwwd
[06:01] <SeriouslyLaugh> Overlap are you sure you're logging into the right account? sounds like you're selecting Guest account when logging in
[06:01] <Overlap> obvioudly
[06:01] <Overlap> pbvious;y*
[06:01] <Overlap> obviously**
[06:01] <Overlap> by the way, cool nick SeriouslyLaugh
[06:01] <Overlap> :)
[06:01] <SeriouslyLaugh> ty
[06:02] <wwwd> So I think the easiest thing is to back up any files you have. install windows. Then install linux restore your files.
[06:02] <Overlap> Now seriously pay heed to my prob :P
[06:02] <SeriouslyLaugh> [01:01:03]  <SeriouslyLaugh>	Overlap are you sure you're logging into the right account? sounds like you're selecting Guest account when logging in
[06:03] <Abe> ojii: I don't use ubuntu my settings are a little different
[06:03] <Overlap> no no !  I am using my own account. I can watch my files
[06:03] <Overlap> in my directory
[06:03] <SeriouslyLaugh> ok then i have no idea, sorry
[06:03] <ojii> Abe, after adding the ad hoc wifi, how do i start it?
[06:03] <holucon> So....when I run deluged, this happens on my router
[06:03] <holucon> http://i.imgur.com/RubAVPf.png
[06:03] <Overlap> no prob @Seriously :)
[06:04] <holucon> any idea what could possibly be causing the connections to not clear?
[06:04] <wwwd> So my problem, which is new for me...I have an external hd where, by the way I have files backed up. When I try an cp -r from my hd it starts cping then kicks bash crashes and I am kicked out to the log in. I have tried cp -r with both sudo and without.
[06:05] <SeriouslyLaugh> wwwd are you able to paste the exact errors?
[06:05] <SeriouslyLaugh> !paste
[06:06] <ojii> Abe, I thinkI found my problem, nm-connection-editor was spamming "Invalid setting Wi-Fi Security: Invalid Wi-Fi security" in the console. created an ad-hoc without security and it works
[06:06] <wwwd> SeriouslyLaugh: I'm not getting any. Just kills the bash terminal and kicks me back to the login screen...never seen anything like this before.
[06:06] <ojii> hope my neighbors enjoy free wifi
[06:07] <SeriouslyLaugh> oh sorry wwwd i misread your question
[06:07] <SeriouslyLaugh> weird
[06:07] <ojii> thanks for your help Abe
[06:08] <Abe> Did it work with ad-hoc good i'm glad
[06:08] <ojii> Abe, seems to work
[06:08] <ojii> let me double-check it's not using cellular
[06:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> wwwd one idea I just had...maybe drop into another TTY and try copying from there?
[06:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> ctrl+alt+f3 for example
[06:09] <SeriouslyLaugh> ctrl+alt+f7 to switch back to the GUI TTY
[06:10] <Overlap> may be redirect standard error to a file in your home directory
[06:11] <ojii> yep worked
[06:11] <wwwd> SeriouslyLaugh: I can try.
[06:11] <SeriouslyLaugh> if there's no bash window to crash, i'm thinking maybe it'll force at least some kind of output
[06:12] <Overlap> so before it kicks you out, it will throw error in that file
[06:12] <Overlap> :/
[06:12] <Overlap> Just  Alt + F7  will also work SeriouslyLaugh
[06:12] <Overlap> Is there any other ubuntu channel as well ?
[06:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> thanks Overlap
[06:15] <SeriouslyLaugh> !ot
[06:15] <Overlap> What for ? @SeriouslyLaugh
[06:15] <SeriouslyLaugh> there's also #ubuntu-discuss
[06:16] <SeriouslyLaugh> just used that trigger to show the OT channel
[06:16] <Overlap> ok @seriouslyLaugh
[06:17] <wwwd> SeriouslyLaugh: That seems to be working though it makes me a little nervous that my terminal is crashing when I try an do a simple cp. Any idea what might cause this?
[06:18] <Jack3k3> ProbablyAndy, I think I figured out whats going on
[06:18]  * SeriouslyLaugh shrugs
[06:18] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: gnomes?
[06:18] <SeriouslyLaugh> pixies?
[06:18] <Overlap> Did it not throw any errors ? (your console)
[06:19] <Jack3k3> I have an intell cihpset witha display port that my monitor is on but I am installing drivers for my 9600GT card.according to inxi -xG X.org is using intel drivers (with nvidia/fbdev/vesa unloaded)
[06:19] <Jack3k3> so I wonder if theres some conflict between the two
[06:19] <wwwd> Nothing. Just kicked me out.
[06:20] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: interesting.  is this one of those optimus things where it is supposed to switch between the two for power saving purposes?
[06:20] <ProbablyAndy> Jack3k3: if it isn't, maybe you have to disable the intel card in the bios?
[06:21] <wwwd> And, as imporant...it is a new install of 14.04. Do I need to reinstall...that is, is the system corupted some how?
[06:21] <Overlap> 14.04 is having problems with updates
[06:21] <Jack3k3> yeah that might well be. Kinda problematic since my monitor only runs display port. At this point I'm fine with the nvidia card not working if i can just get the intel card working again
[06:22] <|Aquilon2> 14.04... Did you try 15.10 ?
[06:23] <Abe> Jack3k3: If u have a graphics card installed, why doesn't it show additional drivers in the system settings?
[06:24] <Jack3k3> Not sure about that
[06:26] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: what problems?
[06:26] <Abe> No sorry I ask wrong... does it show additional drivers in the system settings? idk it should
[06:27] <SlidingHorn> |Aquilon2: upgrading to non-LTS isn't a go-to response here...non-LTS releases are almost exclusively for people who need a new version of a particular software that didn't quite make it
[06:27] <Overlap> my system received updates; and now not reading flash drive, or any other USB device
[06:27] <Overlap> although kernel shows entry of the device : $sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
[06:27] <wwwd> Aquilon2: No. Always figured the lts version would be the best. On a separate issue. And, I know this is not really an ubuntu question but I am getting no love anywhere else. I tried installing watchman to be used with ubuntu. It is not monitoring files and throws an error telling me I need to increase max_user_instances, max_user_watchers, and max_queued_events. Anyone happen to know what these settings are supposed to be?
[06:28] <wwwd> Sorry that should say be used with Ember...
[06:28] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: what is the usb device?
[06:28] <Overlap> flash drive
[06:28] <ProbablyAndy>  Overlap: have you restarted or logged out/in since the updates?  maybe the daemon that loads the usb drives got updated and isn't running
[06:29] <Overlap> I received updates 4 -5 days back
[06:29] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: okay, and which version & flavor of *buntu are you using?
[06:29] <Overlap> since then umpteen times
[06:29] <Overlap> 14.04
[06:29] <ProbablyAndy> aho k.
[06:30] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: cool - now...in your terminal:   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade                 then, I want you to post the output of "lsusb" both before & after you've inserted the drive into a pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com for example)
[06:32] <Overlap> Sorry I was Away from keyboard; I'll do it, just wait @SlidingHorn
[06:39] <Jack3k3> so in Xorg's log I'm still getting "failed to load module "nvidia"" and "failed to load module "nv"" errors
[06:39] <Jack3k3> i've removed all of nvidia though
[06:39] <Jack3k3> nouveau shows under lsmod
[06:40] <Jack3k3> is there some way to tell X to stop trying to use nvidia?
[06:40] <Ben64> why do you not want to use nvidia? how did you install nvidia? how did you uninstall nvidia? does /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist
[06:42] <Overlap> SlidingHorn : before drive inserted:      http://paste.ubuntu.com/13956851/
[06:42] <Jack3k3> because my monitor is on an intel chipset. I installed via nvidia proprietary source + blacklisting. I uninstalled by --purging nvidia*,. Looks like xorg.conf does Not exist
[06:42] <Overlap> After driver inserted :    http://paste.ubuntu.com/13956883/
[06:42] <Overlap> You there SlidingHorn ?
[06:43] <Ben64> Jack3k3: monitor is on intel chipset? explain what you mean by proprietary source + blacklisting
[06:43] <Overlap> how to pop up msg on SlidingHorn's screen (notification)  @Ben64
[06:44] <Overlap> He asked for the o/p of a command
[06:44] <Ben64> Overlap: you've already done it
[06:44] <Jack3k3> Ben64, my monitor is connnected to displayport which is built in on the monitor with an intel chipset. I originally was trying to install nvidia drivers since I have a 9600GT pci expres card but at this point I just want my system working again and dont care about that
[06:44] <Overlap> when to address someone like you just did to me ?
[06:44] <Overlap> your name appeared in yellow
[06:45] <bazhang> !tab | Overlap
[06:45] <Overlap> how to *
[06:45] <Overlap> ok :)
[06:45] <Jack3k3> Ben64, basically, I blacklisted the nouveau drivers and then purged nvidia and then turned off kdm and used the nvidia proprietary driver installer (from nvidias website)
[06:45] <Jack3k3> after doing all this I got stuck in a login loop
[06:45] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: whenever you type my full s/n in I'll get a notification fi I'm online...was just afk for a bit.  In terms of your output, *something* is being picked up, but it's not recognized....does this flash drive work right now in any other OS environments?
[06:46] <Ben64> Jack3k3: yeah you shouldn't install from the website, nvidia drivers are in ubuntu repositories
[06:46] <Jack3k3> ah :\
[06:46] <Overlap> yes, I made it bootable on Ubuntu 14.04 (my friend's PC)
[06:47] <wwwd> bazhang: Sorry I missed some of this because my laptop kicked me off my wi-fi. What is bang tab?
[06:47] <Ben64> Jack3k3: to remove you'd have to check the the options of the installer or the website or something
[06:47] <wwwd> and "@"Ben?
[06:48] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: wait...this is a bootable USB?  okay, maybe I'm misreading your problem...please let me know exactly what you're trying to do with this USB, and what's preventing you from it?  (sorry, I'm sure you've typed it before...the more detail & error messages, etc. you can provide, the better...not just for me, for everyone)
[06:49] <Overlap> Actually, ubuntu is unable to detect it and other devices before I made it bootable
[06:49] <Overlap> Even my launcher it set ot default
[06:49] <Overlap> my destop is set to default
[06:50] <Overlap> wwwd, bang tan is I guess simple <Tab> key
[06:50] <Overlap> it completes the partially entered command
[06:52] <Overlap> No other device is mounting on the file system tree SlidingHorn
[06:52] <Overlap> I have to do it manually, with the help of tail -f /var/log/syslog
[06:52] <Overlap> and then mount -t 4......
[06:53] <wwwd> Overlap: I just caught your question about poping up a message on a users screen. How do I do that and is it considered polite on IRC?
[06:54] <Overlap> Actually, i was not talking about initiating a private chat
[06:54] <Overlap> I was asking to leave a notification on the screen of slidin horn
[06:55] <SlidingHorn> wwwd: just ask your questions in great detail in the chat...do not single out a particuar volunteer...if someone can help, they will.  do not PM someone without their permission...the goal is to keep support in the chat for future reference & to make sure you dont' get bad advice in a PM
[06:56] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: I'm sorry, but you didn't really answer my question....are you trying to view the contents of this drive?  boot from it?  format it?
[06:56] <bazhang> use the tab key Overlap , slid<tab>
[06:56] <Overlap> I am trying to copy data to it
[06:56] <sas93> hello all
[06:56] <Overlap> but it is not mounted on the file system tree
[06:57] <Overlap> ok gotcha bazhang
[06:57] <Overlap> thanx
[06:57] <sas93> so i tried installing ubuntu today and i am having some trouble, anyone hear know about bootloaders?
[06:57] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: okay...but you said this is a bootable USB...did you follow instructions to make a *persistent* USB installation of Ubuntu?
[06:57] <bazhang> np
[06:57] <wwwd> SlidingHorn: Ok. Wondered about that. Thanks!
[06:57] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, I tried other flash drives as well
[06:57] <Overlap> normal flash drives
[06:58] <Overlap> but Ubuntu is not showing it on the laucher ( not mounting them)
[06:58] <SlidingHorn> Overlap:  what about, say...a USB mouse?  Does Ubuntu capture it using the same USB port?
[07:00] <Jack3k3> okay what the heck
[07:00] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, surprisingly yes
[07:00] <wwwd> All have a good night and thanks again for the help!
[07:00] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, catching mouse
[07:00] <Jack3k3> I pulled out the nvidia card and its still returning to the login screen when I login
[07:00] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: okay, well then we've at least eliminated the possibility of the port being dead...
[07:00] <Jack3k3> But now if i check inxi -Gx there are no failures, just drivers for X are intel (as expecteD)
[07:00] <Jack3k3> and if I check Xorg log, there are no errors
[07:01] <Ben64> try logging in as guest Jack3k3
[07:01] <Overlap> port is n't dead, currently I am charging my cellphone on that port
[07:02] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: could you show me the output of "lsblk" & "fdisk -l" with and without the USB?  You can paste them all into one pastebin, just label them for us
[07:02] <Jack3k3> Ben64 I dont have that option
[07:02] <Overlap> ok
[07:03] <SlidingHorn> off-topic, but I just found my beer...this will make things easier ;)
[07:03] <Overlap> :)
[07:04] <sas93> is a 32 bit bootloader possible?
[07:04] <Jack3k3> Ben64, I added a guest account and tried, same issue though
[07:04] <Ben64> pastebin the xorg log
[07:04] <SlidingHorn> sas93: looking at your past few posts, I can't put together what you're asking...
[07:05] <SlidingHorn> !detail | sas93
[07:05] <SlidingHorn> !details | sas93
[07:05] <sas93> i have a efi that won't let me boot using usb because its 32 bit on windows 10 64 bit
[07:06] <sas93> so i can't get ubuntu to start in efi usb
[07:06] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13957373/
[07:06] <Jack3k3> Ben64 i dont really have the ability to paste to the internet on this machine. however im looking at the kdm log now. I see this:
[07:06] <SlidingHorn> sas93: which version of ubuntu are you trying to boot, and on what meda?
[07:06] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13957403/
[07:06] <Jack3k3> "Klauncher kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server. Kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher, exiting!
[07:07] <sas93> i tried 14.04 and 15.10 on a usb using unetbootin, rufus and lili usb creator to no avail
[07:07] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: good news...I can tell that that's an 8gb drive ;)  Ubuntu knows what it is...now to get to mounting it!
[07:07] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, fdisk -l command simply returning the commmand prompt
[07:08] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: sorry..fdisk requires sudo
[07:09] <SlidingHorn> sas93: why are you trying 32 bit ubuntu, might i ask?
[07:10] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13957494/
[07:10] <sas93> i tried both the 64 bit and i386 versions but efi won't recognize the usb, i even tried mbr and gpt in the rufus
[07:10] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13957475/
[07:11] <Overlap> SlidingHorn,  just for info, I can manually mount the device using mount command
[07:11] <tgm4883> sas93: you've got to load a 32-bit EFI on your 64-bit ISO
[07:11] <Overlap> but it isn't happening on its own as it used to be
[07:11] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: we'll do what we can to do it automatically
[07:11] <Overlap> :)
[07:11] <sas93> hmm
[07:12] <SlidingHorn> sas93: so use rufus or netbootin to "burn" your 64-bit...when you go to restart your windows 10 DON'T turn off secure boot or enable legacy...you don't need to.
[07:12] <sas93> sounds like i should just scrap the idea and get a 64 bit efi device
[07:13] <sas93> i tried with secure boot off and on, legacy mode isn't on the device
[07:13] <sas93> lenovo ideapad 100s-11iby
[07:13] <SlidingHorn> sas93: with the USB plugged in, IN WINDOWS, go to Menu > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > and select "Restart Now" under Advanced startup...when it asks how to start up, select "use a device" then select your USB
[07:14] <sas93> ya when i do that i get a message that usb boot isn't on this device
[07:14] <tgm4883> SlidingHorn: the issue is his EFI only support 32-bit
[07:14] <inflatus> while troubleshooting a hash error using apt-get update i removed the keys for upubuntu-com-ubuntu-system-vivid.list / how do get the public ke back?
[07:16] <sas93> thanks ppl
[07:17] <zero> nick Overlap
[07:18] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: did Ubuntu ever detect USB flash drives for you before?  i.e. is this something brand new?
[07:19] <Overlap> It used to detect always
[07:19] <Overlap> noting new except updates :P
[07:19] <Overlap> nothing*
[07:20] <Overlap> When I am asked for login, my wallpaper is as I set , black, but after logging, it is automatically set to default
[07:20] <Overlap> I tries to Auto hide launcher from Setting
[07:20] <Overlap> But that also not working
[07:21] <Overlap> plus, If I arrange my icons on the desktop, they are set to default location after every login
[07:21] <Overlap> login after boot, SlidingHorn
[07:21] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: this is from an old solution, but maybe it will help...add "usb_storage" (no quotes) to the end of /etc/modules:    sudo nano /etc/modules    or    sudo vi /etc/modules   (depends on your editor of choice)
[07:22] <Overlap> 'vi'
[07:22] <Overlap> ;)
[07:22] <Overlap> there are only two entries in that file
[07:22] <Overlap> lp
[07:22] <Overlap> rtc
[07:23] <Overlap> that's all
[07:23] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: make a third -  usb_storage
[07:23] <Overlap> did it
[07:23] <SlidingHorn> :wq & restart
[07:23] <Overlap> reboot system ??
[07:23] <SlidingHorn> yep...I'll wait here if youre on that machine now :)
[07:23] <Overlap> ZZ
[07:24] <SlidingHorn> (might have a cigarette, though...brb)
[07:24] <Overlap> I am on that machine
[07:28] <Overlap> SlidingHorn, still not mounting
[07:30] <Overlap> off the topic, Us and Them; And after all , we're only ordinary men
[07:33] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: okay...at this point, all I can say is to pastebin the output of      tail -f /var/log/dmesg       while you plug it in...I'm probably going to bed in a sec, but post that pastebin along with your problem that your USB flash drive isn't automounting with ubuntu 14.04
[07:34] <Overlap> okay, thankx for giving time :)
[07:34] <SlidingHorn> Overlap: Don't give up on it...just wait til someone more sober & awake comes along and that info should help them ;)

[08:09] <utu8o> the Kangaroo Desktop PC is an incredible value for only $99 you guy a complete PC with full Windows 10, cheaper than buying Windows 10 alone! My question is can Ubuntu install and run well on this PC? I heard the Kangaroo has proprietary hardware...
[08:09] <utu8o> here is what i'm talking about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883722001
[08:09] <cfhowlett> utu8o, if it boots windows, it'll boot ubuntu
[08:11] <utu8o> cfedde, i'm wondering about hardware compatibility, for example it only outputs audio via HDMI
[08:11] <utu8o> it also has a finger print reader
[08:11] <Ben64> its slow
[08:12] <utu8o> will the bluetooth and WIFI work with Ubuntu?
[08:12] <cfhowlett> utu8o, finger print readers are not fully hacked yet so far as I know.  hdmi takes a bit of work to set up but is doable.  For $99, order it and see for yourself.

[09:26] <SlidingHorn> yerm: :)  I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.  What I want you to post to the channel is - 1. A detailed description of what you are trying to do (e.g. I'm trying to install <package>) 2. What is going wrong (e.g. but I'm getting <error>)  3.  A pastebin containing the ENTIRE output of both the command you entered to encounter the error, as well as the FULL error itself. (e.g. You can see what I tried to do here: <link>)  4.  Which versio
[09:26] <SlidingHorn> n/flavor of ubuntu (e.g. I'm using Xubuntu 14.04 LTS)
[09:29] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: an ideas as to my hanging shuitdown problem?
[09:30] <yerm> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13960625/
[09:31] <SlidingHorn> ignis-fatuus: what happened when you did sudo shutdown -h now  ? (need to know that exact command's behavior)
[09:31] <SlidingHorn> yerm: you're not listening to me.
[09:32] <yerm> oooo sorry
[09:33] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: black screen with a blinking cursor. After 2 minutes I get errors saying that various tasks are being blocked
[09:33] <robotics> is the difference between "now" and "0" values in shutdown -h command?
[09:34] <SlidingHorn> ignis-fatuus: what is the exact error/message you see?  any chance to screenshot/copy/take a picture?
[09:34] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: also say Tainted: P OE 3.19.0-031900-generic
[09:35] <SlidingHorn> no...the WHOLE thing...
[09:35] <SlidingHorn> everything after you typed    sudo shutdown -h now
[09:36] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: will shut it down now and type everything out -- can't take a screenshot
[09:39] <nishant> hi any one can help me "how to install mmx210g modem in ubuntu 15.04
[09:42] <georgewhite> nishant: are you sure there is a Linux driver for your modem?
[09:44] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: took a photo...what would be the best manner to get it to you?

[09:46] <nishant> and now my web cam is also not working
[09:47] <georgewhite> nishant: maybe it needs to be run in the Terminal?
[09:47] <nishant> how
[09:48] <georgewhite> i.e. drag the relevant installation script/program in to the Terminal window and press Enter
[09:48] <ImJune> anyone else gettings serious performance issues on a8 apu's???

[09:58] <panagos> hi all
[09:59] <panagos> have a hosted server which is using mucho bandwidth
[10:00] <panagos> installed ntop and from the gui over the last 5-6 hours, i see "Netbios-IP" being responsible for about 25%
[10:00] <panagos> approximatelty 510 mb
[10:00] <panagos> any ideas as to waht the issue may be?
[10:01] <pcarrier> can I disable a repo in apt-file? there's one that 403s on the files apt-file requests, and apt-file update fails.
[10:02] <trympaxx> Why pcarrier
[10:03] <pcarrier> trympaxx: why would I want to disable it? so that apt-file just skips the repository and stops failing, so I can use apt-file?
[10:03] <nishant> hi,
[10:04] <nishant> i cannt be able to install mmx modem even by using wine
[10:05] <panagos> does anyone else have experience with this?  the OS is  "ubuntu 12.04 server"
[10:06] <georgewhite> panagos: have you run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[10:07] <nishant> does any one has knowledge about modem installation, it is of micromax mmx210g
[10:07] <akik> panagos: which ports are being used?
[10:08] <pod__> What is the point of the ternmial seems kind of pointless
[10:09] <panagos> georgewhite: yes i did
[10:09] <akik> pod__: it's not pointless. do you have a support question?
[10:09] <panagos> when i log in now, everything is up to date
[10:09] <panagos> akik: I presume you want me to run a netstat -an?
[10:10] <georgewhite> panagos: Yes.
[10:10] <panagos> ok cool... lemme do that :)
[10:10] <akik> panagos: netstat will show the connections, yes. iptraf couöd be useful too
[10:12] <akik> iptraf collects the statistics while it's running so you can easily spot the runaway connection
[10:12] <panagos> ok i have run iptraf
[10:12] <ignis-fatuus> SlidingHorn: any other info be help?
[10:13] <akik> panagos: are you running a samba server?
[10:13] <panagos> akik: i am not supposed to be i dont believe
[10:14] <akik> panagos: netbios refers to windows protocols
[10:14] <panagos> i yeah
[10:15] <thepeter> Hi what is the way to have sync between touch and PC version of ubuntu please? (would be the best to do it via usb cable of course)
[10:16] <panagos> akik: the only thing I can obvioulsy see is my SSH connection being very very busy
[10:18] <panagos> akik: I guess I can install all traces of samba
[10:18] <panagos> becuase i think nmblookup is the culprit here...
[10:20] <akik> panagos: did you find the connections in iptraf? it would show the destination address
[10:22] <ignis-fatuus> whois SlidingHorn
[10:23] <panagos> akik: ok im looking at a screen which is split into two. on the top I have  of TCP connections on the top
[10:24] <panagos> akik: on the bottom looks crazy set of UDP transmisssions being logged
[10:24] <panagos> I also uninstalled all traces samba so now nmblookup no longer works
[10:24] <georgewhite> panagos: you could try tcpdump also to see these packets
[10:24] <georgewhite> panagos: and download the dumped file and open it in Wireshark on your computer
[10:25] <panagos> if i look at the udb packets... lots of connections happening on port 137
[10:25] <sebastian_> hi, can someone help me with an usb 3.0 issue?
[10:25] <panagos> UDP (78 bytes) from <IP_ADDRESS>:137 to <IP_ADDRESS>:137 on eth0
[10:26] <georgewhite> sebastian_: what is your issue?
[10:26] <akik> panagos: i usually use the ip traffic monitor page with all interfaces. then it's easy to use the s (sort) to get the biggest network usage on top
[10:26] <panagos> akik: yeah, at the top is my ssh session
[10:26] <sebastian_> resoldered a ps4 eye camera which works fine at my work, but at home I get a "now enough bandwidth for new device state" error
[10:27] <panagos> i suspect the issue here is the UDP issue
[10:27] <sebastian_> even bought a new usb 3.0 pcie card
[10:29] <e_n_t_r_o_p_y> dcc ignis-fatuus
[10:29] <panagos> i susepct i should just block all traffic on port 137 using the built in firewall?
[10:29] <akik> panagos: "sudo lsof -i" could be also useful. it will also list the ports that you have listening
[10:30] <panagos> akik: lemme check :)
[10:30] <timblechmann> hi ... i'm trying to install ubuntu on a dell xps with uefi as dual boot with win10 ... though ubuntu doesn't show up in the uefi boot menu. when i'm tring to chroot into the installed system, i figured out that grub-pc was installed ... have replaced it with grub-efi-amd64 ... though it complains that i doesn't find a grub device for /dev/mmcblk0p1 ... though i've installed ubuntu on /dev/nvme0n1 ...
[10:30] <timblechmann> any idea how to proceed?
[10:31] <sebastian_> georgwhite: Any idea how to get the camera working?
[10:33] <georgewhite> sebastian_: sorry I had to go and do somethign
[10:33] <panagos> akik: done that... nothing out of the ordinaty pops out on the list
[10:34] <panagos> if i filter on udp, i see postgres, squid3, and ntpd
[10:34] <georgewhite> sebastian_: have you tried the suggestions to the first answer on http://superuser.com/questions/731751/not-enough-host-controller-resources-for-new-device-state
[10:34] <akik> panagos: then continue surveying for another 5-6 hours :)
[10:34] <amnix> hey will using the intel graphics installer from https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/intel-graphics-installer-linux-1.2.1 improve graphics performance on my machine?
[10:34] <panagos> akik: simplest way to block a given port (both in and out)? on ubuntu 12.04?
[10:35] <akik> panagos: if it has ufw, that
[10:36] <akik> probably will have as it's still supported
[10:36] <panagos> yeah but i don't believe it is currently installed
[10:36] <panagos> lemme check
[10:36] <panagos> ok it is installed but the status is currently inactive
[10:36] <sebastian_> is there anyone who can help me with "usb 2-1: Not enough bandwidth for new device state." for a usb 3.0 camera
[10:38] <ID21> hello
[10:38] <ID21> its me
[10:38] <georgewhite> sebastian_: http://superuser.com/questions/731751/not-enough-host-controller-resources-for-new-device-state
[10:39] <panagos> is there a way to check which firewall i have installed/active? UFW/IPTABLES?
[10:40] <OerHeks> panagos, ubuntu firewall is based on IP tables
[10:40] <panagos> OerHeks: thanks
[10:40] <anabain> is this tutotial valid for 15.10? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430312
[10:40] <ID21> OerHeks: yoooooooooooooooooow
[10:40] <georgewhite> anabain: I think nautilus should support connecting to an SSH server
[10:41] <georgewhite> Unless you don’t have the GUI installed or don’t want to use the GUI
[10:41] <OerHeks> panagos, to get status: sudo ufw status
[10:41] <panagos> OerHeks: i did that.. .it says inactive
[10:42] <anabain> georgewhite, I'm on kubuntu, perhaps dolphin features ssh connection too, I'll check then
[10:42] <OerHeks> panagos, install gufw, and enable?
[10:42] <DinCahill> panagos: fyi ufw is a wrapper for iptables
[10:42] <georgewhite> anabain: Dolphin does
[10:42] <anabain> I also want to be able to connect from and android device
[10:42] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[10:42] <anabain> remotely through OpenVPN, georgewhite
[10:43] <georgewhite> anabain: Is the Ubuntu computer the computer you want to connect to?
[10:43] <georgewhite> ES File Manager for Android has SSH functionallity.
[10:43] <anabain> yes, in fact there are two kubuntu boxes to be accessed from the android device
[10:44] <georgewhite> Oh, sorry, I thought you want to connect to another server
[10:44] <anabain> I have already installed this app! Nice
[10:45] <sebastian_> gerogewhite: In my case disabling xhci is not an option because i need usb 3.0
[10:45] <sebastian_> other usb 3.0 devices work fine btw
[10:45] <georgewhite> anabain: sftp should work fine for what you want
[10:45] <georgewhite> it’s FTP over SSH
[10:47] <georgewhite> sebastian_: and you’re sure you’ve got the correct drivers for USB 3?
[10:47] <georgewhite> USB 3 is generally buggy
[10:48] <sebastian_> the correct driver for the camera?
[10:48] <akik> georgewhite: to be exact, it's not ftp. ftp is a different protocol
[10:48] <panagos> DinCahill: thanks :)
[10:48] <panagos> ok so now UFW status is active
[10:48] <panagos> so I guess I can just add a rule now to disable port 137?
[10:48] <DinCahill> panagos: yeah should work
[10:49] <georgewhite> akik: sorry, yes, I forgot about the differences between FTP over SSH and SFTP
[10:50] <georgewhite> anyway, sftp will work fine
[10:50] <georgewhite> sebastian_: the camera and your USB PCIe card
[10:50] <akik> georgewhite: still, there is no ftp over ssh :)
[10:50] <sebastian_> at least the device is listed corrected using lsusb
[10:51] <georgewhite> akik: there is with forwarding
[10:51] <akik> they're are ftp, ftps and sftp
[10:51] <georgewhite> akik: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol#FTP_over_SSH
[10:51] <sebastian_> and the pci card is listed using lspci
[10:51] <sebastian_> "USB controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03)"

[11:12] <ikuria> http://askubuntu.com/questions/701824/getting-ctrl-backspace-to-delete-words-in-gnome-terminal-and-vim-insert-mo
[11:12] <ikuria> cant get this to work, want ctrl-backspace to delete a word :(
[11:13] <ikuria> update vte?
[11:14] <OerHeks> in gnome-terminal, alt + bckspace works standard for me
[11:15] <ikuria> yes but i want to change that to ctrl+backspace
[11:16] <booter> hei
[11:18] <OerHeks> ikuria, according to your own post, that key combo will be fixed in gnome 3.18 .. so i guess you'll have to wait
[11:18] <panagos> basically i want to force the forewall to reject any outbount connections to any ip on port 137
[11:18] <panagos> can anyone help with that?
[11:19] <panagos> i tried "ufw deny 137", when I then to a "ufw status verbose" , it says:
[11:19] <panagos> 137                        DENY IN     Anywhere
[11:30] <akik> panagos: i haven't tested this but it seems to be ufw deny out
[11:30] <panagos> akik: yeah i just found something
[11:30] <panagos> so i gues sit would be "sudo deny out 137/UDP"
[11:30] <panagos> or some such
[11:31] <akik> panagos: "sudo ufw deny out 137/udp"
[11:36] <panagos> akik: what is the difference between reject and deny?
[11:37] <TJ-> panagos: 'reject' will tell the client attempting to send the packet that it failed. 'deny' will silently drop the packet, leaving the client waiting for a response
[11:37] <panagos> ahhh ok ok thanks guys:) you guys are soo helpful :)
[11:44] <yrumpk> Why don't linux sue google for making profit on android linux
[11:45] <panagos> so once the rule is added and the ufw status is enabled what would I expect to see in the audit logs
[11:45] <panagos> deny?
[11:45] <EriC^^> yrumpk: you can sell stuff as long as it's open source
[11:46] <panagos> i presume specific rules take preference over the defaults correct?
[11:47] <EriC^^> yrumpk: i think
[11:47] <panagos> i guess if it says "UFW AUDIT" it is telling us that the rule was enforced
[11:47] <panagos> versus UFW ALLOW?
[11:53] <panagos> i guess put another way... if the firewall rule for UDP/137 was working correctly then iptraf would not be showing up any traffic on UDP/37
[11:54] <panagos> sorry UDP/137
[11:56] <akik> panagos: it looks like you need to enable logging separately "sudo ufw logging on"
[11:56] <panagos> akik: i did "sudo ufw logging high"
[11:56] <panagos> and i see the logs in the ufw.log
[11:57] <akik> panagos: the syntax is 137/udp, not the other way around
[11:58] <panagos> akik: yes. i did that and it looks correct: 137/udp                    DENY OUT    Anywhere
[11:59] <rew> what is the difference between snappy and ubuntu?
[12:01] <akik> panagos: you're still seeing network traffic to that port? what is the destination address?
[12:02] <EriC^^> !snappy | rew
[12:06] <panagos> akik: from <IP_ADDRESS>:137 to <IP_ADDRESS>:137 on eth0
[12:06] <panagos> akik: would it matter if the default is to allow all? or does the specific rule take precedence over the default
[12:08] <UsuSai> Hi
[12:11] <Guest559> Hi All
[12:12] <akik> panagos: the .255 address is the broadcast address for that subnet
[12:13] <akik> panagos: have you made any configuration changes that would rely on windows authentication etc. ?
[12:13] <UsuSai> Any one of you know how to keep my user configuration or how to back it up to upgrade the system without loosing my current configurations and archives?
[12:14] <akik> panagos: do you use remote samba mounts?
[12:14] <akik> panagos: i guess it's a samba related process still running on your system
[12:15] <Guest559> how can I turn off admin password if I want to install or change something in my ubuntu?
[12:17] <panagos> akik:  no i don't use this for anything samba related
[12:17] <UsuSai> Guest559------------- sudo passwd
[12:18] <panagos> nmblookup was installed but i have subsequently removed all traces
[12:18] <panagos> i am also up to the latest patch levels
[12:18] <panagos> and now that the firewall is in place, I guess the next step is to restart the box
[12:18] <panagos> but to answer your question, no i dont use anything related to samba
[12:19] <UsuSai> If you have not configured the SUDOERS archive yet, just passwd
[12:20] <OerHeks> Guest559, your password is your last line of defense .. you better ask: how can I turn off admin password so *anyone* can install or change something in my ubuntu?
[12:20] <Guest559> UsuSai: this command want to change my actual password and I want turn it off forever :)
[12:20] <Guest81623> list
[12:21] <Guest82637> hello
[12:21] <Guest82637> che
[12:21] <Guest82637> che
[12:24] <UsuSai> OerHeks is right. May be you should configure the sudoers file for being able to install with other user, with perhaps a easyer password and keeping your root password
[12:24] <Guest559> OerHeks: yes I want to configure this laptop without password
[12:25] <Guest559> UsuSai: it should enough
[12:26] <Guest559> I just install ubuntu mate on laptop for sale and that why I want to do something like it
[12:27] <OerHeks> not a legit reason for me
[12:27] <akik> what does "turning off admin password" even mean? it looks more likely that guest559 wants to set root password
[12:27] <OerHeks> no, he wants to disable password.
[12:28] <Guest559> OerHeks: yes disable :)
[12:28] <UsuSai> Guest559 -- take a look http://askubuntu.com/questions/553117/allow-root-access-without-passwd
[12:28] <OerHeks> so future ubuntu user is unsafe, and it gives a bad experience...
[12:29] <akik> i would say that it would be better to keep the ubuntu setup so that the new laptop owner can benefit from the ubuntu docs
[12:32] <Guest559> OerHeks: new user know more about ubuntu from me so he probably set a new password if he wanted to
[12:35] <Guest559> thank for advise and link
[12:35] <Guest559> see ya
[12:35] <TJ-> Guest559: why not simply configure the system to do autologin for the user, and possibly enable in /etc/sudoers that user for NOPASSWD
[12:36] <akik> TJ-: NOPASSWD is BAD i got told
[12:37] <cfhowlett> ya think??
[12:37] <TJ-> akik: it depends on what commands it is allowed
[12:37] <akik> TJ-: yes i know
[12:37] <TJ-> akik: I generally have it set for apt-get and a few other common tools
[12:38] <akik> TJ-: but for guest559's case, i'm sure you're not suggesting that it would be used for all commands?
[12:39] <TJ-> akik: no, use it selectively to make the common tasks easier
[12:39] <TJ-> It's better than configuring a user with a blank password :)
[12:44] <Lyden69> Hello all.
[12:44] <Lyden69> Is this working?
[12:45] <cfhowlett> Lyden, ask your ubuntu question
[12:48] <easyOnMe> is ubuntu the best linux server for a web-based application
[12:48] <easyOnMe> how come I heard my colleague that their project will be deployed in a centOS flavor of linux
[12:48] <easyOnMe> what could be their reason for doing so
[12:49] <x5-452> Ben
[12:49] <cfhowlett> easyOnMe, why ask US?  ask THEM?
[12:49] <OerHeks> easyOnMe, ask them?
[12:49] <OerHeks> :-D
[12:49] <TJ-> easyOnMe: Because CentOS is the non-cost RedHat Enterprise Linux, which has been the predominant Enterprise server Linux OS for a long time
[12:50] <easyOnMe> TJ-: oh ok thanks TJ
[12:50] <Lyden> I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu 14.04 LTS alongside OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and am unsure about the partitioning part of the install. I am using the rEFInd boot manager, and have set aside a 32GB partition using Disk Utility called "Ubuntu". The Ubuntu install does not recognise OS X as an operating system and I have to choose the "Something Else" op
[12:50] <Lyden> tion.
[12:50] <cfhowlett> !mac | Lyden
[12:51] <easyOnMe> so if I just want to deploy my own project that does not require an enterprise level of complexity
[12:51] <easyOnMe> Ubuntu is just ok
[12:51] <easyOnMe> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[12:51] <cfhowlett> easyOnMe, this is tech support.  chitchat in #ubuntu-offtopic.  thank you.
[12:51] <easyOnMe> cfhowlett: ok no problem
[12:51] <easyOnMe> sorry
[12:52] <TJ-> easyOnMe: Ubuntu server is just as capable. The 'Enterprise' label is a marketing thing, for gaining income from support subscriptions
[12:52] <Lyden> I would like to know what device I pick for the boot manager((?)I think this is what it asks) It has a dropdown option, however I am unsure what the options given were as I can only access this device at the moment.
[12:53] <TJ-> Lyden: generally, the boot device should be the same one as the root file-system is being installed to
[12:53] <Lyden> So would this be the 32GB partition I have made?
[12:55] <TJ-> Lyden: boot-loader doesn't go into a partition, the *device* that *contains* the partition. E.g. if the root file-system were in /dev/sda3 then the boot-loader would go to /dev/sda
[13:00] <Lyden-iPhone> I have booted the Ubuntu install, and am on the partitioning screen
[13:01] <Lyden-iPhone> i have what I assume is my partition at 32gb and free space of 13b which I am not sure what it is
[13:01] <cfhowlett> do not assume
[13:02] <Lyden-iPhone> I made a 32gb partition and last time it is in ext4
[13:02] <Lyden-iPhone> ignore last time
[13:02] <Lyden-iPhone> this is my partition
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> assuming leads to doubt, doubt leads to fear, fear leads to the dark side
[13:03] <Lyden-iPhone> it is under /dev/sda4
[13:04] <Lyden-iPhone> i was told to make a partition of 4gb called "swap"
[13:04] <OerHeks> Lyden-iPhone, easiest way is to let ubuntu take care of the partitioning of that 32 gb

[13:05] <topias_> Hi, i need a help
[13:05] <cfhowlett> !ask | topias_
[13:07] <topias_> I installed Xubuntu to my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi and no sound, i have make all fixes but no work
[13:07] <Lyden-iPhone> ok. The guide I was following instructed me to use the partition as ext4 and set the mount point to "/"
[13:07] <cfhowlett> Lyden-iPhone, yp
[13:07] <cfhowlett> yep
[13:08] <Lyden-iPhone> Ok. Do I not need to make that swap partition?
[13:08] <baizon> Lyden-iPhone: its recommended
[13:08] <cfhowlett> Lyden-iPhone, follow your guide
[13:09] <Lyden-iPhone> ok. I am not sure how to add the swap partition.
[13:10] <Lyden-iPhone> when I highlight the 32gb part the + is greyed out
[13:10] <topias_> !ask
[13:10] <cfhowlett> Lyden-iPhone, unmount the partition
[13:11] <topias_> This channel sucks (N)
[13:11] <Lyden-iPhone> sorry about that, this phone makes that hard to do. How would I unmount it?
[13:11] <cfhowlett> Lyden-iPhone, right click the partition, follow the menu
[13:13] <mircx1> Hola
[13:13] <cfhowlett> !es | mircx1
[13:13] <mircx1> how i change version gcc 4.8.4 to gcc 5?
[13:13] <cfhowlett> !info gcc vivid
[13:14] <mircx1> is have a link to see?
[13:14] <Lyden-iPhone> Right clicking the partition does not work.
[13:14] <cfhowlett> mircx1, 5 is not in the repos.  compile it from source or wait patiently
[13:15] <mircx1> then how i can to know for update?
[13:15] <cfhowlett> mircx1, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade          will grab all the latest packages available in the repos
[13:15] <mircx1> thanks
[13:17] <Lyden-iPhone> I have right clicked the partition and it did not do anything. Double clicking opened a menu where I could edit the partition. There is no option to unmount
[13:17] <akik> mircx1: there's a ppa for gcc 5 if you want to test it https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test
[13:20] <Lyden-iPhone> I selected the do not use partition option however I still cannot make use the "+" button
[13:20] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:21] <mircx1> cfhowlett
[13:21] <mircx1> this ok? http://askubuntu.com/questions/466651/how-do-i-use-the-latest-gcc-4-9-on-ubuntu-14-04
[13:22] <cfhowlett> mircx1, looks legit
[13:24] <mircx1> you told to me is have gcc 9
[13:25] <mircx1> but after i do the commands you give to me i no see gcc change version
[13:25] <asad_> how can I set up my touchpad so that it gets disabled while typing? this is the normal behavior in gnome. isn't it supposed to behave this way by default in unity too?
[13:26] <cfhowlett> mircx1, if no change then you already had the newest gcc in repo.  you can compile or use the ppa as akik suggested.  usual cautions apply
[13:27] <Lyden-iPhone> I'll try again tomorrow
[13:28] <Lyden-iPhone> i'm too tired to deal with computers, thanks for the help
[13:28] <mircx1> how?
[13:28] <cfhowlett> mircx1, how what?
[13:29] <cfhowlett> asad_, see your touchpad settings though "disable while typing" is NOT in all buntu flavors as yet
[13:30] <mircx1> how i change it sorry but i`m not understand very much and i try to see explain about update gcc
[13:30] <OerHeks> mircx1, gcc 4.9 is not complete for 14.04, as your own url says
[13:30] <mircx1> ok then how i update gcc from 14.04?
[13:30] <OerHeks> mircx1, if you don't understand, why do you *need* it?
[13:31] <mircx1> beacuse i run something and i get error about it
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> mircx1  and what if the change doesnt solve the error?
[13:32] <asad_> cfhowlett, i'm on 15.10 and it's not in the settings...
[13:32] <cfhowlett> asad_, I don't have it either.  My solution: I purchased an external keyboard and mouse from Dell.  Sorry.
[13:33] <MonkeyDust> mircx1  better ask how to solve the error you're encountering
[13:35] <mircx1> i have some error
[13:35] <mircx1> if do you want i paste to you

[13:51] <circ-user-BTuxJ> hi
[13:52] <cfhowlett> asad_,  did you install the intel hd drivers?
[13:52] <mircx1> MonkeyDust i paste to you my error
[13:52] <sjjenni> I have a new system and ALMOST everything is working as I want.  Local mail is working, I can receive email, but when I try and send I get from the systems that I connect to, 550 Invalid HELO - what do I need to configure that I have not, I am using postfix
[13:52] <asad_> cfhowlett, yes I have the latest drivers installed.
[13:53] <asad_> cfhowlett, the vertical tearing on the left side of the window only seems to happen in firefox.
[13:53] <cfhowlett> asad_, sorry, my only suggestion would have been to get the drivers
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> mircx1  i'm not familiar with the code and am not sure if it's for this channel
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> mircx1  find 'error' in the paste, it may help in finding a solution
[14:02] <lubuntu> .explosionirc.net
[14:07] <asad_> what do the options "dont wait for video sync" and "force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint" do in compizconfig settings?
[14:08] <daftykins> asad_: vsync matches the framerate output to the refresh rate of your screen, typically 60fps for a 60Hz LCD. This prevents tearing, which is where a horizontal line appears to be drawn along the middle of the picture.
[14:09] <daftykins> i can't be 100% on the second but it sounds like something that could make the graphics system work harder unnecessarily.
[14:10] <asad_> daftykins, I was experiencing vertical tearing when scrolling in firefox. Typically on the left side of the screen. I have enabled these two options in compiz settings. Will this help get rid of it?
[14:10] <daftykins> no i don't think that'll be the same, then
[14:11] <daftykins> it's solely horizontal due to the way display tech works
[14:11] <asad_> daftykins, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1293243
[14:11] <Tokenizer> when I login to an ubuntu server, I always see "XXX packages can be updated, XX are security updates".  No matter how many times I do "apt-get update && update-get upgrade" I can't get them to disappear and go down to zero
[14:11] <daftykins> asad_: probably just using the wrong term is all
[14:12] <daftykins> Tokenizer: then ignore it
[14:12] <cfhowlett> Tokenizer, sudo apt full-upgrade should fix
[14:13] <asad_> daftykins, in the bug report the reporter mentions that "force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint" fixes the issue. I just want to be sure my system won't break or anything like that
[14:13] <daftykins> asad_: so backup...
[14:13] <daftykins> it's not going to spontaneously explode due to a simple graphics setting
[14:13] <cfhowlett>  ... he says with great confidence    :)
[14:14] <asad_> daftykins, yeah but sometimes things don't render correctly after booting. i remember I had set something in compiz settings in the past which left me with an unusable system..
[14:14] <Tokenizer> cfhowlett: that's a distro upgrade basically.. I'm on LTS can't just do that
[14:14] <cfhowlett> Tokenizer,
[14:14] <cfhowlett> false
[14:14] <cfhowlett> that will NOT upgrade your distro.  it WILL upgrade all packages in the current distro to newest available versions.
[14:15] <daftykins> asad_: maybe don't tweak with things you don't understand too much then :)
[14:15] <cfhowlett> sudo do-release-upgrade       will upgrade distro
[14:15] <daftykins> !distupgrade
[14:15] <daftykins> :)
[14:16] <Tokenizer> cfhowlett: so apache may get updated, and the conf's gone?
[14:16] <Tokenizer> cfhowlett: and so on and so forth?
[14:16] <cfhowlett> Tokenizer, simulate it first: apt-get -s dist-upgrade         will NOT execute
[14:16] <daftykins> Tokenizer: no.
[14:17] <daftykins> i use dist-upgrade on my servers all the time
[14:18] <Tokenizer> i see, looks like something I can't do now, have to wait for people not to be connected and waiting (after the project is done)
[14:18] <Tokenizer> there's a risk still from what you guys are saying
[14:18] <daftykins> Tokenizer: but that's ok 'cause you'll have backups
[14:18] <cfhowlett> of COURSE he has backups!
[14:19] <daftykins> you could just remove the MOTD update info
[14:19] <Tokenizer> it's a vm, yea can be backed up
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> Tokenizer  make sure you have backups, then you can do what you want
[14:21] <Guest85463> hallo~
[14:22] <MonkeyDust> Guest85463  hi, this is the ubuntu support channel
[14:23] <Guest85463> how do i change my password
[14:23] <daftykins> "passwd"
[14:24] <Guest85463> yes
[14:24] <robotics> hallo~
[14:24] <daftykins> you type what i said into the terminal.
[14:24] <JeDa> ~hallo
[14:24] <robotics> ha~llo
[14:25] <asad_> daftykins, okay I don't seem to notice any vertical tearing in firefox after changing these settings. should I keep them?
[14:25] <Thinker_> I just created 125 GB ext4 partition in ubuntu. When I format this partition, file manager tells its capacity as 116.6 GB and usable space of only 116.9 GB. Why there are so differences?  Can anyone please explain
[14:26] <JeDa> hal~lo
[14:26] <daftykins> Thinker_: base 10 and base 2 unit conversion
[14:26] <Thinker_> no....its not 1024 vs 1000.... Itssomething related to ext4
[14:27] <Thinker_> When I format that with NTFS, its show exactly 125GB
[14:27] <daftykins> depends on the tools you're using.
[14:27] <daftykins> i'd go by "df -h"
[14:27] <EriC^^> Thinker_: it's the 5% reserved for root
[14:27] <akik> Thinker_: there's probably a 5% quota set aside for root
[14:27] <EriC^^> Thinker_: 125*0.05=6
[14:28] <EriC^^> so you get 119 left
[14:28] <daftykins> mmm there you go :) didn't know GUI tools showed it up
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> EriC^^  +1
[14:28] <daftykins> !cookie | EriC^^
[14:29]  * EriC^^ eats the cookie :D
[14:29] <akik> Thinker_: you can set the reserved block percentage to 0 with "sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdXn"
[14:30] <Thinker_> sorry....my typing mistake....... Actual partition sixe 125GB exact             File manager says Partition size 122.9      Available 116.6               Here is screenshot   http://imgur.com/QSyTmPX
[14:30] <zteam> Hi all!
[14:30] <daftykins> hi zteam
[14:30] <Thinker_> thanks eric
[14:30] <daftykins> got a question?
[14:30] <Thinker_> but neither 122.9 GB nor 116.6 GB is near 5%
[14:31] <Thinker_> And system reserved shoulg give one change, why there are 2 different entries...
[14:31] <Thinker_> thanks in advance
[14:31] <Thinker_> specially eric
[14:32] <zteam> Is there any easy way to make firefox better at handling files downloads, I don't know how many times I try to open a zip-file and Firefox tries to open it gedit
[14:32] <rasta> hey
[14:32] <rasta> :D
[14:32] <zteam> daftykins, Hi there :-=
[14:32] <daftykins> zteam: go into the settings and change the associated app for the file type, simple.
[14:33] <daftykins> rasta: a'ight me breadbin
[14:33] <zteam> daftykins, Well I already tried that, it works for some pages, but not for others (they probably change the mime-type or something
[14:33]  * Thinker_ is desperately waiting for in depth  explanation
[14:34] <rasta> nice
[14:34] <daftykins> Thinker_: i think i'd sooner get on with my life.
[14:34] <curiouscharacter> hello ubuntu
[14:34] <zteam> daftykins, Try this download for example, http://www.aptana.com/products/studio3/download.html
[14:35] <curiouscharacter> im having problems with the commands
[14:35]  * Thinker_ could not understand daftykins  meaning bcoz of weak english
[14:35] <akik> Thinker_: you'll not get the full 125 gigs usable space, the file system information needs also to be stored in the file system. try that tune2fs command first
[14:35] <zteam> daftykins, if you try to download the Aptana file firefox defaults to Gedit (or some other unrealeled application)
[14:36] <daftykins> zteam: i can't test that as i don't use ubuntu desktop... however did you check what i said?
[14:36] <Thinker_> akik,  thanks....but I dont need 100 % space. I just want to know how it works, I mean just for knowledge
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> Thinker_  it's not something to be desperate about
[14:37] <Thinker_> but learning linux is interesting buddy MonkeyDust
[14:37] <Thinker_> atleast for me
[14:38] <daftykins> Thinker_: re-do it as exFAT and notice the difference.
[14:38] <daftykins> though you may need to install exfat-utils
[14:39] <zteam> daftykins, ahh okey :-), yes I did, that was the first thing I tried :-)
[14:39] <Thinker_> daftykins, I tried formatting in NTFS and got 100% space. So definitely it is something related to reserved space.......but two different entries cause me scratching my head...actually there should be one difference, not two...........
[14:40] <OerHeks> Thinker_, i don't believe that, 125 gb partitioned in NTFS should also be less, like ext4
[14:40] <Thinker_> daftykins,  anyways i will try formatting in exfat to see changes
[14:40] <Thinker_> OerHeks,  I ill show u, just wait man
[14:40] <Thinker_> screenshot coming
[14:40] <zteam> Thinker_, What are you trying to do? :-)
[14:41] <Thinker_> zteam,  trying to understand how ext4 works.......basics
[14:41] <OerHeks> Thinker_, no need to, i know i am right.
[14:42] <akik> actually for a ntfs partition, there's only a 4KiB difference between the partition and the mounted file system
[14:43] <akik> nice to learn new things
[14:43] <zteam> Thinker_, Okey :-)
[14:43] <daftykins> actually Windows sees and states capacity differently.
[14:43] <Thinker_> OerHeks,  yeah u are right...I mean to say NTFS uses only 0.1 GB out of 125....but ext uses nearly 8
[14:44] <daftykins> totally false
[14:44] <daftykins> use some real tools such as 'sudo parted -l'
[14:48] <zteam> Thinker_, there are two ways of calculating  partion / disk size
[14:49] <Thinker_> OK guys, I will just state more clearly. Thanks for ur patience.   I am uploading two screenshots side by side to compare NTFS vs ext4.......    My main question is, in case of NTFS, file manager says partition size 125 GB and available 124.9......In case of ext4, file manager says capacity  122.9  and available 116.6....So If we assume (122.9-116.6=6.3GB) is reserved, why it is showing 122.9 instead of 125....I hope u understand guys what I want to ask
[14:50] <Thinker_> These are screenshots...      http://imgur.com/a7lCfCA               http://imgur.com/QSyTmPX
[14:51] <daftykins> and how does "sudo parted -l" display it? :)
[14:52] <daftykins> Thinker_: also, i recommend alt+print-screen in future
[14:52] <Thinker_> ok
[14:53] <OerHeks> ext4 takes some space, 1-2% or so, for i-tables, free lists, superblocks, superblock backups, and ext4-journaling
[14:54] <OerHeks> don't compare it with ntfs
[14:55] <noob_> installed ubuntu mini...trying to install sddm login manager but get error
[14:55] <noob_> "dpkg: error processing package sddm-theme-maldives"
[14:55] <daftykins> that suggests the actual error is further up
[14:56] <daftykins> noob_: to make life easy you should just be installing a whole DE at once.
[14:56] <zteam> noob_, run sudo apt-get -f install from the terminal
[14:56] <noob_> zteam: thxs will try that
[14:56] <zteam> noob_, that will make apt try to fix all broken dependeices

[15:05] <noob_> TJ-: crap
[15:05] <TJ-> noob_: so I'm not sure *how* you're getting dpkg to even try process the package, unless you've fetched it manually
[15:06] <TJ-> noob_: however, if you do want it, there's no reason not to install the files manually by extracting the .deb - it only contains the theme files under /usr/share/sddm/themes/maldives/
[15:08] <noob_> TJ-: how best to remove and start fresh....sudo apt-get autoremove?
[15:08] <TJ-> noob_: remove what? Trusty doesn't have the package so nothing can have been installed
