[00:00] <Sukai> flavour as in... variant?
[00:00] <northarrow> Sukai: Yep. Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, etc
[00:00] <Sukai> In that case, Ubuntu Studio, with Ubuntu 14.04 I believe
[00:01] <northarrow> Any one can help me with KDE interface not properly loading?
[00:01] <northarrow> Sukai: Browser?
[00:01] <Sukai> I tried with the preinstalled Firefox browser, and with Chromium, which I just installed
[00:03] <ahi2> Bashing-om i tried that but it seems to hang. does it take a long time?
[00:03] <northarrow> Sukai: Ok, let's try something else. I know it is not ideal, but try download Chrome. It has a sort of pre-integrated Flash player. (Chromium does not have this)
[00:04] <Sukai> I did this before
[00:04] <Sukai> it fails to start
[00:04] <Sukai> Which is why I installed chromium
[00:04] <Sukai> Besides, I'm not sure Flash is at fault here
[00:05] <Sukai> The videos are using html5 support, afaik
[00:05] <Sukai> I know youtube does, it's set to use it by default
[00:06] <Sukai> I'll check something...
[00:06] <Sukai> Hmm...
[00:06] <northarrow> Sukai: Mmmm. Ok, this might actually relate to your graphic card drivers
[00:06] <Sukai> I'm not that sure
[00:07] <Sukai> Unless Soundcloud is also affected by those, because I just checked with it
[00:07] <Sukai> Same thing happens
[00:07] <Sukai> Youtube did work earlier today, btw
[00:08] <Sukai> Might be a driver failing or something, if it's related to the graphics card...
[00:08] <RobBurnettes> Quick beginner question: Is running a live version of Ubuntu on top of windows capable of rewritting the windows data. I dont have the password to the windows account and would like to reset it
[00:08] <Sukai> Tell you what, I'll try restarting my computer, see if it does anything
[00:09] <Sukai> See you laters
[00:10] <northarrow> Sukai: K, see you
[00:11] <Sukai> I'm back
[00:12] <Bashing-om> ahi2: Should not take long .. pastebin the results . we see if we can see the problem .
[00:12] <Loshki> RobBurnettes: I see google hits for "windows password recovery from ubuntu"
[00:13] <Sukai> Well for some reason it fixed it
[00:13] <hamza> hi, can i have two grub entries, one that blacklist nvidia in /etc/modprobe.d/, and the other does not? thanks
[00:14] <Bashing-om> Sukai: :) The power of positive think'n . ( I did not rub the crystal ball ) .
[00:14] <Sukai> Well anyways
[00:15] <Sukai> Hope that doesn't happen again
[00:15] <Sukai> (it probably will)
[00:15] <Sukai> Well, laters
[00:15] <Bashing-om> hamza: Hybrid graphics ? Intel/Nvidia ? .. try nvidia-prime to control the graphic sets .
[00:15] <hamza> Optimus based laptop, yes hybrid
 I had trouble running the program they all suggested
[00:16] <hamza> Bashing-om: will this work out: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/24670/choose-at-grub-menu-whether-nvidia-driver-should-be-used
[00:16] <Bashing-om> hamza: Yeah .. the recommended thing now is nvidia-prime .. for info terminal command ' apt-cache show nvidia-prime ' .
[00:17] <Blaster> It's not letting me change permissions on a directory even though it's owned by the user running the chmod command.  There's no output from stdout or stderr but the permissions just don't change
[00:17] <hamza> i have it on my list since it's installed with Nvidia driver, thx! Bashing-om
[00:18] <Loshki> RobBurnettes: well, at this point you're into research territory. Or concede defeat and do "proper" windows password recovery.
[00:18] <ahi2> bashing-om: it didn't work. it is on another computer so i cant paste it but it is in mandarin anyway and i dont speak mandarin yet.
[00:19] <northarrow> Hello, I have posted a photo on how KDE is looking: Can anybody help? Basically it is completely black: http://ibin.co/2JWW5WfZuHey
[00:19] <OneM_Industries> Would it be possible to have Ubuntu send a signal out on one of the GPIO pins on a parallel port on power on/awake from sleep?
[00:19] <OneM_Industries> (I have a project in mind, but if this will not work then I will need to revise it.)
[00:19] <Bashing-om> hamza: Nvidia-prime is the recommended method. IF you want to control otherwise, then next is a convoluted hack of the xorg.conf file(s).
[00:21] <hamza> Bashing-om: alright, i see Nvidia-prime installed /usr/bin/prime-supported and /usr/bin/prime-select, and a bunch of files, i will go through with how it works, thank you very much
[00:22] <Bashing-om> ahi2: Not havong much info to fo on .. one can try ' gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv E18CE6625CB26B26 ; gpg --export --armor E18CE6625CB26B26 | sudo apt-key add - ' note the trailing dash . replace this key with th one in question .
[00:24] <Bashing-om> hamza: Many use nvidia-prime .. Will not take long to learn how to use it I am sure .

[00:50] <AndreyBz> Hi
[00:57] <d21anthony> What are files that have "filename.txt~" ?
[00:59] <jijijilore> hi, I have a problem with my mic
[00:59] <jijijilore> Anyone else?
[01:00] <pbx> let's say i find a package i want that's in the archlinux user repository. anybody know a way for me to use it short of fetching and building source?
[01:01] <uupz> can i just say that ubuntu is racist.  it asked me where i was from for my timezone and i told it san antonio so it automatically set my keyboard to spanish
[01:03] <LtL> uupz: you should have ben specific and added Texas
[01:03] <LtL> *been
[01:03] <uupz> same thing
[01:03] <uupz> san antonio tx = little mexico
[01:04] <LtL> not that i really buy that story
[01:05] <LtL> theres nothing little about texas :)
[01:06] <pbx> never mind my question, i figured out a workaround to obviate need for the package :)

[01:27] <uupz> hey on ubuntu, the launcher that holds all the apps.  how do i get transparency on it
[01:28] <uupz> test
[01:28] <cfhowlett> !test | uupz
[01:29] <uupz> thank you!
[01:29] <uupz> i needed that
[01:33] <uupz> x'
[01:34] <uupz> wow xchat color scheme is so hard to config lol
[01:34] <uupz> it's like you have to guess the number that coordinates with the color
[01:35] <cfhowlett> uupz, xchat is no longer developed or supported.  use hexchat
[01:35] <uupz> hexchat?
[01:35] <uupz> i'm not going to lie, so far ubuntu is awesome!
[01:35] <uupz> what terminal do you guys use? i use xterm and i was trying to get it to be transparent but it won't
[01:36] <inteus> cli
[01:37] <uupz> with ubuntu is there pretty much a repo for everything?
[01:38] <cfhowlett> "everything"?? of course not.  be specific with your questions for best results.
[01:42] <zezba9000> Hey trying to install the Tizen SDK on Ubuntu 15.04 and getting the error: "SDK runs on Eclipse, which requires Oracle JDK. JDK, JRE 6 or newer package is required. "
[01:42] <zezba9000> Yes i've installed the official JRE 7 and OpenJava from the Ubuntu store as well but nothing works even though other java apps work
[01:42] <zezba9000> is there an enviroment var I need to set?
[01:43] <zezba9000> Should I uninstall the OpenJRE
[01:48] <ChaeYoungShin> Hello everyone
[02:01] <opsman> dvass: check space with du -sh <dir>
[02:08] <cafe`guy> hey peeps :)
[02:09] <cafe`guy> i have ubuntu 14.04 installed and was wondering if i should install synaptic for more packages
[02:10] <cafe`guy> oh and don't ever install ubuntu-restricted-extras if you install codecs during install hehehehe
[02:10] <cafe`guy> it makes santa kill kittens
[02:14] <cfhowlett> cafe`guy, so you have jokes?  wrong channel.
[02:15] <cafe`guy> oh no i was serious about synaptic
[02:15] <cafe`guy> heh jokes, jeez that's not even a good one
[02:17] <DChapman> Let's say I want to install a range of packages, such as all of the gtk2-engines. Can I use # apt-get install gtk-engine*
[02:18] <cfhowlett> DChapman, test for yourself: apt-get -s install gtk-engine*                    the -s will simulate but not execute the command
[02:19] <DChapman> cfhowlett: Thanks. The output seems OK to me.
[02:20] <cafe`guy> interesting, /me takes notes
[02:20] <cfhowlett> DChapman, remove the -s to perform the operation
[02:20] <cfhowlett> and preface the command with sudo
[02:21] <DChapman> Well, I don't need sudo as I already "su -" (hence the #) :)
[02:22] <DChapman> I came from Slackware, just not familiar with aptitudes syntax. :)
[02:22] <cfhowlett> DChapman, well you'll be pleased to learn, I think, that apt-get is going away.  apt install PackageName                   would also perform the function
[02:23] <DChapman> cfhowlett: Oh, when was that changed? Interesting.
[02:23] <cfhowlett> DChapman, don't remember the exact date, but there was a notice to the effect.
[02:24] <zezba9000> Can you use the Tizen SDK with the OpenJDK?
[02:24] <DChapman> cfhowlett: Ok. I just installed 15.04 today, and remember seeing apt-get in many forums etc.
[02:24] <cfhowlett> DChapman, true.  apt-get is still in use, but apt is coming
[02:25] <zezba9000> **OpenJRE
[02:25] <DChapman> No reason not to shorten the command I guess, for a tiny bit of efficiency at the terminal. :)
[02:26] <DChapman> Although with the magic of autocomplete, I'm guessing that isn't the only reason. As it renders it moot.
[02:27] <cfhowlett> https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/26q2sm/apt_vs_aptget/ << DChapman
[02:27] <DChapman> cfhowlett: Thanks for the linky.
[02:27] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[02:39] <vartan> Any particular reason why apt-get would be (incredibly) slow when installing packages, particularly during "Unpacking package (ver) over (ver)..."? On an SSD with ext4, no less. I read something about dpkg and fsync on certain filesystems, but on a similar setup with a hard disk everything works just fine.
[02:44] <Desgyz> hello
[02:45] <Desgyz> I'm looking for assistance on making an ARM Ubuntu Image for the Odroid XU4
[02:47] <uupz> hi Desgyz
[02:48] <Desgyz> hello
[02:49] <Desgyz> So any tips on how I would making the Ubuntu Image
[02:49] <uupz> to launch from?

[02:55] <Desgyz> Hmm i need a second ubuntu system to do this by the looks of things
[02:57] <ycon_> Hi all, what is the most stable node.js for ubuntu? sudo apt-get only installs 0.10.x- but I'd like to use atleast 0.12
[02:58] <vsimonian> @ycon_ I've been using the nodesource repositories on ubuntu for Node.js, it has all the version up to and including 4+
[02:59] <vsimonian> There are some details on installation here: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#debinstall
[02:59] <ycon_> vsimonian, I'm pretty new to all this- so I just run the curl command and I can have that version?
[02:59] <alteregoa> october 21, marty mcfly enters the future, october 22 wily werewolf (the reincarnation of teenage-werewolf) will be released
[02:59] <PanV_> Hello! I hard rebooted yersteday my PC and then some stuff appereantly broke
[03:00] <vsimonian> @ycon_ Yep, just run the curl command, and then you should be able to install the latest Node.js via the nodejs package
[03:00] <PanV_> My PC cannot find normal.mod and now I want to fix this with a LiveUSB
[03:00] <PanV_> Can I fix Ubuntu's system files with a LiveUSB?
[03:01] <uupz> PanV_,  you could boot from a USB drive and try to fix?
[03:02] <PanV_> I am booted right now from a LiveUSB, but I don't know how to fix it
[03:02] <uupz> what' the problem?
[03:02] <PanV_> I am going into grub
[03:02] <PanV_> *rescue since it cant find normal.mod
[03:07] <PanV_> uupz: ?
[03:09] <jeffrey_f> Hi ALL had a question about creating an admin user.  I may need to give my machine to the Linux admin at work, hence, they'll need a admin user.  I'll assume the other user, being admin, will be able to see my files.........that encrypting my home folder will fix that??
[03:09] <malimbar> jeffrey_f, it should, yes
[03:10] <jeffrey_f> Thanks.  Just double checking.
[03:10] <malimbar> though IIRC they shouldn't be able to see it anyways. I'd hav eto look it up though
[03:14] <malimbar> PanV_, did you google the issue? The first link says it's a case of incorrect GRUB files, so you need to reinstall GRUB
[03:14] <malimbar> here's the link I'm looking at: http://askubuntu.com/questions/266429/error-file-grub-i386-pc-normal-mod-not-found
[03:14] <PanV_> malimbar, I am currently preparing a question at askubuntu. Can't I fix those grub files with a liveusb?
[03:15] <cfhowlett> PanV, the wise ubuntu user always has a spare ubuntu USB ... or three
[03:15] <malimbar> PanV_, yeah, you should be able to. You could probably speed it up by reading ht elink yourself, but I'm giving it a go with about half my attention if you wait
[03:15] <PanV_> Thanks.
[03:16] <PanV_> Even though, reinstalling is NOT an option for me... Well it is, but it is the last one
[03:16] <malimbar> it says to mount the root partition, and then install grub. The link has command line options for both of them
[03:16] <malimbar> PanV_, not reinstalling the OS, just reinstalling grub
[03:16] <malimbar> This ain't windows, :)
[03:16] <skynetguy> Im on 12.04 precise aside from all 3 browsers being buggy sometimes i open up home folder and folders and files dont appear i have to mouse over them to reappear????
[03:16] <PanV_> Oh. By the way I got a broken windows partition, will this affect anything?
[03:17] <malimbar> PanV_, it's broken?
[03:17] <PanV_> Yes, and I am thinking to format it, since it's windows. But whatever I am trying to fix Ubuntu.
[03:18] <malimbar> skynetguy, first thing I'd guess is something a restart would fix. Have you updated and restarted?
[03:18] <PanV_> cfhowlett: Ii got a spare ubuntu usb
[03:18] <PanV_> which I couldnt find yersteday so I left it for today
[03:18] <PanV_> brb
[03:19] <malimbar> PanV_, I could imagine it might mess up the windows partition, but IIRC grub is good about finding it. Haven't had a separate windows partition in years though, so I could be off. Luckily we always have google and IRC if things go wrong.
[03:21] <PanV_> malimbar: Do I need to backup all my files from both windows and ubuntu?
[03:21] <skynetguy> malimbar, it does go away with a restart but after a few hours or...well its random i would say...i always run updates nothing has fixed this problem.....im wondering if this is because 12.04 is no longer supported and i thought it was until 2017 or should i upgrade to 14.04 lts 64bit
[03:22] <malimbar> PanV_, you shouldn't need to at all. You can if you want, but it's not overwriting any of those files. It's overwriting boot files.
[03:23] <PanV_> Ok then!! Give me a sec
[03:24] <malimbar> skynetguy, not being supported shouldn't matter for things like stability, unless you kept installing modern versions of software on top of it.
[03:24] <PanV_> malimbar: so how should I start?
[03:25] <malimbar> PanV_, did you read and write down the commands in the link I sent?
[03:25] <PanV_> When you say write down?
[03:25] <skynetguy> malimbar, i was under that impression that ubuntu doesnt suffer from malware or viruses even sending an error report comes back as an error
[03:25] <malimbar> PanV_,  well, unless you're already booted into that usb stick right now and want to copy/paste
[03:26] <PanV_> Well then. Already done!
[03:26] <PanV_> I have no idea where to start...
[03:26] <malimbar> skynetguy, I don't know of any malware or viruses for ubuntu or linux in general, but it's not perfect. But that's not really relevant now. Teh concern for not being up to date is compatibility problems with libraries that are no longer updated.
[03:27] <PanV_> Sorry for being a pa
[03:27] <PanV_> pain in the *** but where should I start?
[03:27] <h82or8> Day changed
[03:28] <malimbar> skynetguy, it looks like 12.04 is still supported. I thought it was one of the 5-year support versions, it's supported until april 2017.
[03:29] <skynetguy> malimbar, i have a 64 bit  machine running 32bit precise...should i upgrade to 64bit 14.04lts
[03:29] <wileee> skynetguy, These apport reports?
[03:29] <skynetguy> wileee, huh?
[03:30] <vsimonian> I threw this question up just a little under an hour ago, so I thought it might be past the point of it being pushy to ask again. :) Any particular reason why apt-get would be (incredibly) slow when installing packages, particularly during "Unpacking package (ver) over (ver)..."? On an SSD with ext4, no less. I read something about dpkg and fsync on certain filesystems, but on a similar setup with a hard disk everything works just fine.
[03:30] <malimbar> skynetguy, i'd recommend it. I'm not in professional IT, but it seems like a generally good idea if you're doing a fresh install anyways.
[03:30] <inteus> yeah, if your doing a fresh install, install 64bit
[03:31] <malimbar> PanV_, did you look at the link I sent yet? it had a pretty simply 3 steps to it
[03:31] <PanV_> Those are supposed to be executed at GRUB, aren't they?
[03:31] <wileee> skynetguy, You mentioned this, even sending an error report comes back as an error.
[03:32] <skynetguy> malimbar, i would but i have a small problem of backup for my windows partition and ubuntu partition other than that i would upgrade through update manager to 64 bit 14.04ls but i was told it only upgrades to 32bit if your running 32 bit
[03:32] <malimbar> PanV_, those executed on the root file system when you're running off a different one (IE the USB stick)
[03:32] <malimbar> skynetguy, yeah, you can't easily update 32 bit into 64 bit
[03:33] <skynetguy> wileee, yeah i click send report then it tells me report unable to send...something like that i cant recall
[03:33] <malimbar> skynetguy, you can overwrite it though wish a fresh install
[03:33] <malimbar> skynetguy, definitely backup your data before you do that
[03:33] <PanV_> malimbar: I can't understand how to do it at a liveusb. o.o
[03:33] <skynetguy> malimbar, yeah i know
[03:33] <wileee> skynetguy, Sounds like the apport app, it will send on any error including 3rd party install...ppa...etc, so could an error issue.
[03:34] <malimbar> PanV_, do you know what a liveUSB is?  The try without installing is commonly used for fixing Ubuntu.
[03:35] <malimbar> PanV_, press ctrl+alt+t to open a terminal, and then type "sudo fdisk -1"
[03:36] <malimbar> PanV_, then tell us what it says
[03:36] <PanV_> let me paste.ubuntu
[03:36] <wileee> skynetguy, Not sure you understand the ramifications of additional 3rd party stuff, and if this is an issue in your install is all.
[03:36] <malimbar> sorry, sudo fdisk -l
[03:36] <malimbar> the lower case L, not the number 1
[03:36] <PanV_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12857524/
[03:37] <skynetguy> wileee, well i have addes a 3rd party ppa for netflix....and thats another thing netflix wont work either along with wine
[03:38] <malimbar> PanV_, then type "sudo mount /dev/sda5"
[03:38] <wileee> skynetguy, I don;t use netflix but the standard help is just use google chrome
[03:38] <malimbar> PanV_,  then, to install GRUB 2, you type "sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt"
[03:38] <PanV_> mount: can't find /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab
[03:39] <malimbar> ... well that's weird. the pastebin you gave has /dev/sda5
[03:41] <malimbar> um, callout to more experienced people - why wouldn't PanV_ be able to mount sda5 when it's listed in fdisk -l ?
[03:42] <wileee> swap mounted or partitions out of order, did not see paste
[03:43] <malimbar> wileee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12857524/ is what he gave earlier
[03:43] <inteus> not that I'm more experienced, but wouldn't you need to tell mount where to mount sda5? "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mountpoint" ?
[03:44] <malimbar> did I not... oh.
[03:44] <malimbar> lol
[03:44] <malimbar> sorry PanV_ . type "sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt"
[03:44] <skynetguy> wileee, how do i remove ppa in system setttings
[03:45] <wileee> ppa-purge | skynetguy this is what you want
[03:45] <wileee> !ppa-purge | skynetguy this is what you want
[03:45] <skynetguy> wileee, i dont want to remove all my ppa's
[03:45] <wileee> skynetguy, Individually the bots link show how.
[03:46] <skynetguy> wileee, is ppa-purge a gui interface because i dont remember the exactly name of ppa i installed
[03:46] <wileee> skynetguy, The key here is additional repos added can add dependencies, this can conflict with the ubuntu repos, so a purge is safest.
[03:47] <wileee> skynetguy, When I do this I google it, so all I can do is that, others might be more exacting.
[03:48] <PanV_> malimbar: Sorry I was busy
[03:49] <PanV_> I got 10 mins so we gotta go fast XD
[03:49] <PanV_> :P
[03:49] <malimbar> PanV_, no problem, I'm watching Agents of Shield in the background
[03:49] <skynetguy> wileee, this is the command i entered and the ppa when i added to repo,.....sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
[03:49] <PanV_> Disk is Mounted
[03:49] <wileee> skynetguy, You can see the ppa's in two place /etc/apt/sources.d and a gui software& sources
[03:49] <PanV_> Send me the file when you are done watching it. :P
[03:49] <malimbar> PanV_, next is "sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt"
[03:50] <PanV_> yes
[03:50] <skynetguy> wileee, how do i acces gui software sources
[03:50] <PanV_> Installation finished. No error reports.
[03:50] <wileee> skynetguy, Type the name in a search
[03:50] <PanV_> *reported
[03:50] <malimbar> PanV_, after that, if the page i read is right adn that's yoru problem, it'll work fine
[03:50] <skynetguy> wileee, oh ok
[03:50] <malimbar> just reboot
[03:50] <PanV_> Thanks!
[03:51] <skynetguy> wileee, you mean software center???
[03:51] <malimbar> Hope it works! if not, please come back. I'm a user, not really that amazing.
[03:51] <wileee> skynetguy, It is installed software, the dash if the ubuntu desktop software & updates actually, my mistake.
[03:52] <PanV> didnt work
[03:53] <malimbar> damn.
[03:53] <skynetguy> wileee, it says its installed but i dont see it in dash??
[03:53] <PanV> It booted me at Ubuntu, but skype notifications are flashing in a black screen
[03:53] <PanV> Grub works, ubuntu doesnt
[03:53] <wileee> skynetguy, do you see a search when you hit the windows key?
[03:53] <malimbar> so... it did boot. But.. skype didn't?
[03:53] <malimbar> so it did work, but you have more problems
[03:53] <PanV> Yes.
[03:54] <malimbar> well, bright side - progress
[03:54] <PanV> It flashes that I am connected to a wifi
[03:54] <malimbar> downside - I know knothing about skype. Try re-installing it?
[03:54] <PanV> No not skype
[03:54] <skynetguy> wileee, yes you mean dash home right
[03:54] <PanV> Anything popping on desktop and is not a window, is flashing
[03:54] <skynetguy> wileee, but in software center it says software sources is installed already
[03:54] <PanV> I guess I should hard reboot
[03:55] <malimbar> PanV, didn't you do that once already?
[03:55] <PanV> ?
[03:55] <PanV> What?
[03:55] <PanV> OH YES!
[03:55] <PanV> It didnt end up well
[03:55] <malimbar> PanV, didn't you hard reboot for the grub issue?
[03:55] <PanV> Yes. But now I didnt have a choice
[03:55] <malimbar> ah
[03:55] <wileee> skynetguy, We are lost trying to something "you" think will work, I have no idea what that is and really actually don;t at this point is all, this is way drawn out, sorry.
[03:56] <PanV> booted from liveusb... I gtg now, See ya later!
[03:56] <malimbar> see ya later!
[03:56] <malimbar> well, or someone else will
[03:56] <PanV> :p
[03:56] <PanV> Well bai
[03:57] <skynetguy> wileee, when i hit windows key and bring up dash i type in software sources all ...that comes up is software center weird huh
[03:58] <malimbar> skynetguy, go to software center. In the edit menu there is an option for "software sources"
[04:00] <skynetguy> malimbar, where is edit i dont see it
[04:01] <malimbar> on the top of the screen. All the menus are integrated into the bar on the top of the screen
[04:02] <skynetguy> malimbar, it says ...All Software.and ...Installed..
[04:02] <skynetguy> malimbar, what am i looking for
[04:03] <malimbar> skynetguy, no the top of the window. The top of the screen
[04:03] <cafe`guy> the menu doesn't appear at the very top of the screen until you mouse over it
[04:03] <malimbar> you know how windows has thigns like file, edit, view, etc?
[04:03] <malimbar> you put your mouse at the top of the screen, adn those things appear
[04:04] <skynetguy> malimbar, ok i see sorry i was minimized
[04:04] <malimbar> skynetguy, it takes a while to learn new things when you're not used to them :o).
[04:06] <skynetguy> malimbar, will deleting ppa's from gui remove them from system
[04:06] <malimbar> skynetguy, yup. careful though - it only removes the ppa. Not the programs you installed form them
[04:07] <skynetguy> malimbar, what i should say is...does purging them from terminal also remove programs it came with
[04:07] <malimbar> skynetguy, purging a ppa only removes the sources. that's what a ppa is. You take it awya what you're really saying is "don't install software from this area anymore."
[04:07] <skynetguy> malimbar, yeah ok
[04:08] <malimbar> skynetguy, if you say "purge xyz program" or the equivalent though you get rid of it.
[04:08] <skynetguy> malimbar, so you think 3rd party stuff affect system stablity
[04:09] <malimbar> skynetguy, not necessarily. It's not just because it's 3rd party. it's because software in general affects things.
[04:09] <malimbar> Its'
[04:10] <malimbar> It's why for security sake, every OS I know of says "don't install programs you don't trust completely"
[04:10] <skynetguy> malimbar, well i think this started happening when i installed a ppa for netflix from some darn website ....i just removed netflix and removed the ppa's
[04:10] <malimbar> a... ppa for netflix? netflix doesn't have a ppa
[04:10] <malimbar> lol, I wonder what it installed
[04:11] <malimbar> btw, netflix works in chrome. If you install chrome via google you should be able to use netflix just fine - I do
[04:11] <malimbar> I don't think it's malicious btw - probably just changed some settnigs to get around some limitations
[04:12] <asdasdasdf> hello
[04:12] <skynetguy> malimbar, now i know i tried it on google chrome
[04:12] <asdasdasdf> i have an advanced audio question
[04:12] <asdasdasdf> some how my audio  is working and pulse is not running
[04:12] <asdasdasdf> and i am confused
[04:19] <Banjooie> Okay, so I've been asked to try to reinstall my keyboard drivers. I have a laptop, specifically a Toshiba c650. What do I do?
[04:27] <malimbar>  what? why do you need to reinstall your keyboard drivers
[04:30] <malimbar> Banjooie, hopefully this helps though : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallUSBKeyboard
[04:32] <Banjooie> Okay, Malimbar, so I replaced my internal laptop keyboard. Ever since then, a particular telnet program (Tinyfugue) has refused to accept any input after a single second has passed from its opening.
[04:33] <Banjooie> Key-mon says there are no keys being pressed that shouldn't, and I don't see anything else wrong that would cause this. Someone suggested reinstalling the keyboard drivers.
[04:34] <inteus> Banjooie: is it only happening in Tinyfugue?
[04:34] <malimbar> Way above my head. I can't figure out in particular why only a single program couldn't grab the program. Best I got is the link.
[04:34] <OerHeks> LoLz, just one program refuses keypresses, i don't believe that is caused by a new keyboard.
[04:35] <inteus> totally agree. must be an issue with tinyfugue
[04:36] <opsman> Banjooie: I'm no expert but perhaps you could run an strace on the program
[04:36] <opsman> Banjooie: check system calls and see if you spot and error
[04:36] <opsman> an error
[04:36] <Banjooie> It is only happening in tinyfugue, but I've been told it's a little touchy about metakeys?
[04:37] <Banjooie> OK, so assume I am literally a moron, is there a guide as to how I use strace
[04:37] <Banjooie> As it /stands/ I feel like I type 'strace -o tf.txt tf'
[04:38] <opsman> Banjooie: yes just google linux strace...I read a tut a while back. Just an option.
[04:39] <opsman> Banjooie: It really sounds like it might be worth a shot if thats the only app your having trouble with.
[04:39] <Banjooie> OK, I have here a bunch of...stuff, now to learn how to read it. Okay!
[04:41] <opsman> Banjooie: Ya,,I hoped not to give an impression it would be easy. Perhaps even not a viable solution.
[04:42] <vsimonian> Funnily enough, after running `echo "force-unsafe-io" > /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/02apt-speedup`, dpkg began to run incredibly quickly. What would make fsync run so slowly on an SSD, I wonder?
[04:43] <Banjooie> ....Well, hm. What I have learned is tinyfugue likes to find out what time of day it is a lot.
[04:44] <opsman> Banjooie: There's a tut somewhere online on how to read and filter the output...
[04:45] <Banjooie> Hate to be useless and all, I do apologize.
[04:45] <opsman> Banjooie: If there's a problem with a system call it should be noticeable.
[04:49] <Banjooie> My completely unprofessional opinion says this line is weird that popsup a lot
[04:49] <Banjooie> 28404 select(1, [], [], NULL, {41, 690169}) = 0 (Timeout)
[04:50] <pchangl> Hi everyone
[04:51] <opsman> Banjooie: Not sure just typed "man 2 select" to look at the system call man page.
[04:52] <opsman> Banjooie: However, since I'm not using the malfunctioning program I can't tell if its relevent.
[04:53] <Banjooie> Tinyfugue is basically a telnet client.
[04:54] <Banjooie> I don't know if that helps.
[04:56] <opsman> Banjooie: Not really. Unless I mis-understood your problem the keyboard functions are problematic.
[04:57] <Banjooie> Yeah, the keyboard functions are the issue
[04:57] <opsman> Banjooie: only with this app. Correct
[04:57] <Banjooie> So far as I've found.
[04:57] <quidnunc> I upgraded to wiley and now my display manager doesn't seem to want to start. Any hints?
[04:57] <opsman> Banjooie: Have you checked the usual suspects...conf file.
[04:58] <OerHeks> Banjooie, use an other app, TF is discontinued in 2007 .. http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyfugue/files/  and this ticket #31 http://sourceforge.net/p/tinyfugue/bugs-and-support/31/
[04:58] <opsman> Banjooie: perhaps there is a KB layout discrepency
[04:58] <Banjooie> ...wait.
[04:58] <OerHeks> "I am unable to supply any input."
[04:59] <OerHeks> so it is not your keyboard, if that makes you happy
[04:59] <Banjooie> Yeah, it does. I don't know why it only /started/ after I switched keyboards, but
[04:59] <Banjooie> I'm glad someone else has the issue
[05:02] <opsman> Banjooie: So you purchased a keyboard that caused a bug in an application that prior to the switch worke fine. Sounds like my luck.
[05:02] <Banjooie> What if I told you that I have purchased this exact keyboard three times now with no issue.
[05:07] <Zetta> Anyone here?
[05:07] <droidster> yes
[05:07] <droidster> Maybe just me and you active
[05:08] <Zetta> I see. I mainly come here for help. Are you willing to help me solve an issue after midnight?
[05:08] <Zetta> :v
[05:09] <droidster> Possibly, I'm just getting back into Linux, and new to Debian / Ubuntu
[05:09] <Zetta> Right.
[05:09] <droidster> I will at least try
[05:09] <OerHeks> !ask | Zetta
[05:10] <Zetta> My temperature is unreasonably high. It happens when I open certain websites. Such as megamitensei.wikia.com or neoseeker.com .
[05:11] <droidster> Is there flash content?
[05:11] <Zetta> It shouldn't be at 84 degrees by just opening those websites.
[05:11] <Zetta> Noes.
[05:11] <Zetta> PC is 4GB RAM i3.
[05:11] <Zetta> OerHeks: Got it.
[05:12] <Zetta> The top process is the Mozilla Firefox.
[05:12] <droidster> My i3 in toshiba laptop gets in high 60's with flash content sometimes. You could try "no script" firefox extension and enable one at a time and watch temp? that's as good as i can answer
[05:14] <Zetta> Actually mine doesn't get high with flash content at all.
[05:14] <Zetta> That's what bothers me.
[05:15] <Zetta> I can run YouTube videos without the fan spinning like crazy.
[05:15] <Banjooie> I had the same issue with my laptop. Have you cleaned it out with dust lately?
[05:15] <Banjooie> I literally went down 40 celsius by cleaning my laptop out properly, from 90 to 50.
[05:15] <Zetta> Hum... could it be the case?!
[05:15] <Banjooie> It was..kiinda hilarious
[05:15] <Zetta> Hum... damn.
[05:16] <droidster> Go ahead and try "no script" extension and load the pages that are causing it and see if it changes anything. I would suggest cleaning also, but it seems it would get hot on other processes too
[05:16] <Zetta> I bought it about six months ago. Never cleaned it. Actually I'm not familiar with the procedure.
[05:16] <Zetta> I'll try both installing this script and clean it.
[05:16] <Zetta> Thanks.
[05:17] <droidster> I have had a laptop that was new with a horrible thermal paste job.
[05:17] <Zetta> Will check a YouTube video on how to do it. It's better than if you try to explain it to me here.
[05:17] <Zetta> Oh, really? :\
[05:18] <OerHeks> Intel Core i3 2120  vs AMD E1 1200 >> Much higher Maximum operating temperature	100 °C	vs	69.1 °C
[05:18] <OerHeks> so it can be normal, 84'C
[05:18] <droidster> But in all honesty it seems only a few pages are causing the heat issue. Check your cpu usage while you're on those pages. You can use "top" on command line
[05:20] <Zetta> Indeed. The CPU usage is very high when loading the page, then it drops down to normal which is around 15% with only Firefox with 6/7 tabs opened.
[05:22] <badbodh> Zetta, disable ondemand script, reboot, leave your laptop in idle for about an hour. if it still heats up call the mechanic.
[05:22] <badbodh> Zetta, oh. and you have to set cpu governor as performance for that
[05:22] <badbodh> need steps ?
[05:22] <droidster> Zetta: I'm also running an I3 in a laptop and I just tried those 2 pages you mentioned. Mine is at 55c
[05:22] <Zetta> badbodh: Yes, please. :)
[05:23] <Zetta> droidster: I see.
[05:23] <badbodh> Zetta, step 1. sudo update-rc.d ondemand disable
[05:24] <Zetta> badbodh: Done.
[05:24] <badbodh> step 2. install one of these: cpufrequtils, tlp
[05:24] <badbodh> if you have of those installed already we can proceed to step 3.
[05:25] <Zetta> Instaled tlp.
[05:25] <badbodh> don;t install both, will clash
[05:25] <Zetta> Right.
[05:26] <droidster> Zetta: I jumped up to 70c on the wiki site u linked
[05:27] <badbodh> Zetta, ok. sudo nano /etc/default/tlp , scroll down and look for "CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_AC=performance"
[05:27] <OerHeks> I've noticed up to 90 'C after compiling a large app. so it is usual with i3.
[05:27] <badbodh> usually it's ondemand, change the value to performance
[05:27] <Zetta> badbodh: Sorry, I checked and tpl installation failed. Instaled cpufrequtils instead.
[05:27] <Zetta> droidster: Whoa, really?
[05:27] <badbodh> Zetta, not tpl, tlp :)
[05:28] <badbodh> anyways. cpufrequtils will do fine
[05:28] <Zetta> Oh. My bad.
[05:29] <badbodh> if cpufrequtils installed run - sudo nano /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils
[05:29] <badbodh> scroll down find 'governor' section, change ondemand to performance
[05:30] <badbodh> you may share the contents on pastebin if you need pinpointing
[05:31] <Zetta> Change.
[05:31] <Zetta> Changed.*
[05:32] <droidster> badbodh: Thanks for this info, I'm going to try this myself
[05:32] <badbodh> OerHeks, ubuntu doesn;t come with tlp or cpufrequtils installed right? or any similar power managing script.
[05:33] <OerHeks> no, just install the package, and run it without sudo from the menu.
[05:33] <badbodh> Zetta, now you may reboot. you can check current cpu frequency with "cat /proc/cpuinfo" , note this down. make sure cpu is running at max freq after reboot, leave it idle for an hour.
[05:33] <lubarch> i deleted vmlinuz file how to recreate it
[05:33] <Zetta> Make sure it's running at max frequency you say?
[05:34] <Guest1959> помогите  установить свой хостинг
[05:34] <badbodh> Zetta, if heat still builds up, you got hardware issue. else revert the changes (back to ondemand) and clean dust off your laptop :D
[05:34] <OerHeks> !ru | Guest1959
[05:34] <Zetta> badbodh: Understood. Will do it. Thanks, sir.
[05:35] <badbodh> Zetta, run "cat /proc/cpuinfo" , it'll show maximum frequency. if not then you may have missed a step.
[05:36] <Zetta> After reboot, right?
[05:36] <badbodh> yes
[05:38] <Zetta> Will try running it now.
[05:39] <badbodh> Zetta, leave it idle. disable 'sleep' in power settings though. you don;t want it to fall asleep.
[05:39] <Zetta> What should I look for again? After the hour's passed.
[05:40] <badbodh> temperature. run 'sensors' now, check temp.
[05:40] <badbodh> see if it heats up after an hour of idle.
[05:40] <Zetta> 45º
[05:40] <Zetta> oooooh I see
[05:40] <Zetta> I see it.
[05:40] <badbodh> 45 is fair. check after an hour of idle.
[05:40] <Zetta> Makes sense.
[05:41] <Zetta> Did you come up with it?
[05:41] <badbodh> yup. i can't even code a 'hello world' though
[05:41] <Zetta> hhahaha
[05:41] <Zetta> Thanks, once again.
[05:41] <badbodh> np. see you later.
[05:42] <Zetta> Hope I'll have good news by then. :D
[05:42] <badbodh> Zetta, run 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' now and check frequency
[05:42] <lubarch> badbodh: what does cpufreq means?
[05:42] <Zetta> Can't seem to find it.
[05:43] <badbodh> lubarch, frequency of the cpu?
[05:43] <badbodh> Zetta, it's in the list. find it.
[05:43] <badbodh> or just share output on pastebin
[05:44] <Zetta> http://pastie.org/10492152
[05:44] <droidster> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i cpu
[05:44] <droidster>  would that help narrow it down?
[05:45] <droidster> Mine has cpu mghz listed instead of naming it as frequency
[05:45] <Zetta> droidster: Oh. Perhaps that's it.
[05:45] <badbodh> Zetta, looks like it didn't work as expected.
[05:45] <badbodh> "cpu MHz		: 933.000" it says
[05:46] <Zetta> Eeeeh.
[05:46] <badbodh> should say 2700
[05:46] <droidster> yeah its still downclocking
[05:47] <badbodh> you ran 'sudo update-rc.d ondemand disable' right?
[05:47] <droidster> badbodh: So ondemand is causing his heat issues with the cpu upclocks, you think?
[05:47] <Zetta> badbodh: I thought I was supposed to manually disable the command?
[05:47] <badbodh> droidster, no. ondemand actually helps reduce power consumption (less heat)
[05:47] <Zetta> badbodh: Anyway, I checked and it's still on.
[05:48] <droidster> badbodh: So him disabling ondemand will cause it to use full power consumption? but reduce his heat?
[05:48] <badbodh> if you run ^ that, it will remove a few symlinks from rc(autostart) folders
[05:49] <badbodh> droidster, no. cpu will ru at full frequency, but idle. if heat still builds up, he's got to see the mchanic.
[05:49] <droidster> badbodh: or you are having him run at full clock and power consumption to check to see if his heat reises
[05:49] <badbodh> *ru/run
[05:49] <droidster> badbodh: Oh ok yeah I understand now, we are doing this for a test
[05:49] <badbodh> yep
[05:49] <Zetta> And how do I do to enable it again?
[05:49] <Zetta> If it doesn't work.
[05:49] <badbodh> Zetta, "sudo update-rc.d ondemand enable" duh!
[05:49] <Zetta> AHAHAHAH of course!
[05:50] <Zetta> lol
[05:50] <Zetta> well let's reboot
[05:50] <badbodh> yes
[05:51] <droidster> badbodh: I'm on the same page now :), sorry for the misunderstanding
[05:51] <badbodh> np. i'm a newbie too.
[05:51] <droidster> badbodh: I was thinking that somehow ondemand was bugged causing some proc's to build heat. IT makes perfect since to disable it so it runs and full clock and power while idle in order to test his machine
[05:52] <Zetta> 50º
[05:52] <Zetta> If it's 60º after an hour it's trouble, right?
[05:53] <badbodh> ondemand script runs cpu at full freq during startup, then you login, atfer a minute or so it will set cpu governor to ondemand.
[05:53] <badbodh> so you get fast boot, but balanced cpu usage during normal operation
[05:53] <badbodh> not 60, we're talking 80+
[05:54] <Zetta> That's clearer.
[05:54] <Zetta> Do I close the chat too?
[05:54] <badbodh> depends what client you are using. if it's weechat, don;t bother.
[05:55] <Zetta> XChat
[05:55] <droidster> So basically if you're running a console based irc client you can leave open
[05:55] <badbodh> why xchat, use hexchat. it's better xchat.
[05:55] <Zetta> Will do. ;)
[05:55] <droidster> hexchat is a fork of xchat which is not maintaned right?
[05:55] <badbodh> xchat has been dead since 2008, or 2010 something like it
[05:56] <Zetta> It came installed on Xubuntu.
[05:56] <badbodh> stupid xubuntu
[05:57] <badbodh> basically you keep your cpu usage to minimum during an hour. unity and kde consume some even if you don't use it :D
[05:58] <Zetta> Right. I'll let you know the results afterwards then.
[05:58] <badbodh> yep
[05:58] <Zetta> Talk to you guys soon.
[05:58] <badbodh> check the frequency now?
[05:58] <Zetta> lemme see
[05:58] <droidster> I'm using Linux Mint, was away from Linux for a long time. I installed this and seen hexchat and noticed it was almost identical to xchat. After some research I noticed it was a fork
[05:58] <badbodh> mhz should be 2700
[05:59] <Zetta> ooooooh
[05:59] <Zetta> it's 933.00
[05:59] <Zetta> 933.000 *
[05:59] <droidster> Maybe xubuntu is using another daemon to govern cpu?
[05:59] <badbodh> sad. we're missing something.
[06:00] <gars28> Hi; i don't know if anyone can help me but please hint me in PV because i haven't used IRC in really long and can't remember how to filter all the stuff popping up... my question is... why doesn't ubuntu work... i mean... i have two laptops... and i can't, for the life of me get a gui when trying to install... i have managed after messing around a lot before; to get it installed on one but the problem is still present... ubuntu will not load with a
[06:00] <gars28>  gui.. i MUST close the lid; wait for standby, and reopen in order to access ubuntu; i don't know what to do i've been googling this for months; no solution
[06:00] <droidster> badbodh: Would you like me to try it on my mint installation to see if it works? just for testing?
[06:00] <badbodh> could be. there's tlp, cpufreqd, laptop-mode
[06:00] <Zetta> droidster: Would you do it?
[06:01] <droidster> Zetta: sure
[06:01] <droidster> just moment
[06:01] <Zetta> droidster: You're the man.
[06:01] <badbodh> Zetta, let's wait for some expert. meanwhile search in the web , 'setting ubuntu governor to performance' etc
[06:01] <badbodh> droidster, it will work on mint and ubuntu trusty.
[06:01] <Latrodectus> gars28: what is the model of laptop(s)
[06:01] <gars28> hp
[06:01] <gars28> pavilion g6
[06:01] <badbodh> some things are diff in 15.04
[06:01] <gars28> both are
[06:02] <gars28> i tried 3 versions of ubuntu; thinking the LTS would work... didn't chane anything
[06:02] <Latrodectus> gars28: dual boot or no?
[06:02] <gars28> no
[06:02] <gars28> even live CD doesn't work
[06:02] <droidster> Current: cpu MHz		: 799.906 - Ill check back in few
[06:02] <gars28> i managed to get live CD in a couple of times by disabling UEFI
[06:03] <gars28> but everywehre, it says UEFI is supported, not to turn it off; so i'm confused
[06:03] <Latrodectus> gars28: have you disabled safe boot?
[06:03] <gars28> ya
[06:03] <Latrodectus> and quick boot
[06:03] <gars28> there is no quick boot
[06:03] <Zetta> droidster: Right!
[06:04] <badbodh> Latrodectus, it's fastboot and secureboot if i recall
[06:04] <Latrodectus> gars28: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/does-linux-work-on-the-hp-pavilion-g6-934335/
[06:04] <Latrodectus> ^different distro, but same problem
[06:04] <badbodh> fastboot in windows 8+, secureboot in uefi settings
[06:04] <gars28> on the G6 there's only the secure boot
[06:05] <Latrodectus> gars28: from what i read it seems like a driver issue
[06:05] <gars28> theres no windows on it; i formatted the thing.... ij ust want ubuntu on it :P
[06:05] <gars28> i tried installing the right drivers on it; problem still arises 3/4 times
[06:06] <Latrodectus> it could just be bad chipsets
[06:06] <gars28> on both laptops?
[06:06] <opsman> gars28: disable secure/fastboot enable legacy mode. Run live-CD. Install. reboot
[06:06] <badbodh> hp laptops hate linux anyway :P
[06:06] <Latrodectus> ^
[06:07] <gars28> i thought hp used to work with linux XD
[06:07] <Latrodectus> i tried to get linux on a hp once but gave up
[06:07] <badbodh> some models hardcode the efi to boot windows 10 bootloader exclusively
[06:07] <Latrodectus> acer is a safe bet for linux
[06:07] <gars28> i've always had linux on my hps but did have some issues; didn't know it was home to hp to have issues with linux tho
[06:07] <gars28> oh
[06:07] <gars28> i'll keep in mind then
[06:07] <opsman> gars28: xubuntu runs great on my $229 HP laptop....
[06:08] <gars28> k :P :) thanks opsman
[06:10] <Zetta> droidster, badbodh, Guys, I'll have to go right now. Will be back afterwards. I'll check if you're still here by then. Byes!
[06:10] <droidster> Zetta: cpu MHz		: 1864.929
[06:10] <opsman> gars28: WARNING::during installation of dual boot system (you want to keep windows) the installation should find the win OS.
[06:11] <gars28> i don't want to dual boot
[06:11] <droidster> badbodh: It's not at 799 anymore but at that new clock speed after disabling ondemand
[06:11] <gars28> i can't stand windows 10; it's the reason why i'm dealing with allof this hassle...
[06:11] <opsman> gars28: if it doesn't then during boot you must select from boot menu to boot linux installation.
[06:11] <badbodh> droidster, unless it is the max clock speed of your cpu, something else is interfering.
[06:11] <droidster> badbodh: After checking the clock is jumping up and down so disabling ondemand don't seem to be working for me either
[06:12] <opsman> gars28: working on my son for a year to switch to linux....
[06:12] <opsman> gars28: 30 days of win10 did it for me.
[06:12] <badbodh> droidster, if you have some other power managing script like tlp, laptop-mode etc they will clash
[06:13] <badbodh> must have only one, like monogamy
[06:13] <gars28> give him a 300$ hp laptop with windows 10; if that thing has not been thrown out the windows b4 the end of trial period... give him ubuntu for a day... my only prob is the monitor thing... and skype but that's a detail
[06:13] <badbodh> i got tlp
[06:13] <droidster> badbodh: Yeah I was trying to help him out, he must have something clashing also
[06:14] <badbodh> droidster, it's possible the update-rc isn;t working for him, probably needs systemctl commands instead.
[06:17] <droidster> badbodh: Another thing he might of done is change the part that was commented out as example
[06:17] <opsman> gars28: running xubuntu-vivid on HP 15-1009wn with skype just fine. I did add 4gb of ram for $49
[06:17] <droidster> badbodh: that's what I jsut did
[06:17] <badbodh> droidster, *facepalm*
[06:18] <gars28> oh opsman i have 6gb of ram; skype runs... but skype has issues; if you close it; you can't re-open it; you must kill it in term in order to re-open it lol
[06:19] <badbodh> droidster, i have too much faith in humanity. i never needed to be told that !- // or # means commented. it's pretty obvious when you look at it.
[06:20] <badbodh> gars28, unity doesn;t support system tray of skype and similar apps. don;t close it, or disable systray icon
[06:21] <droidster> badbodh: I changed the settings that was not commeted out and same thing. I atleast tried to help him
[06:22] <badbodh> then i've missed something. on my laptop disabling ondemand + cpufrequtils does the trick.
[06:22] <gars28> badbooth: that's what i'm saying; it doesn't run great... making it unpleasant. it's not the end of the world but for newbies who enjoy the app... it may be a good thing to keep the popular "userfriendly" apps, "userfriendly" lol pers. i find it annoying, someone who doesn't know linux; may think it's way too much
[06:24] <badbodh> gars28, stop exaggerating your annoyance. please do realise that skype isn;t a native linux app. that somebody has successfully ported a microsoft product into linux is an achievement in itself.
[06:24] <badbodh> we've all been annoyed by skype.
[06:25] <badbodh> just focus on making calls, not nicknacks of the GUI
[06:25] <badbodh> moving on...
[06:26] <gars28> it is an achievement! :) i sound more negative than i truly think i guess; sry guys
[06:29] <opsman> gars28: it's ok..it should function properly regardless. Legit gripe. I don't have that problem on my system. However I don't run it often and it doesn't sit in the system tray- too bloated.
[06:30]  * badbodh is waiting for the day when ie6 will be fully ported into linux system. with toolbars and pop-ups of free screensavers.
[06:31] <opsman> badbodh: it's coming soon just too ruin my new found romance with linux.

[06:41] <vcoinminer> hi anyone familiar with vim?? may I ask, I have 2 questions. 1. I open file with ctrl-p and :ls the buffer numbers shows something like 1 & 3.   why the buffer number is 3 instead of 2??   does that means there has hidden buffer? if so, how can I just remove hidden buffer, or just make the buffer number to 2
[06:41] <somsip> vcoinminer: b:2 will change to buffer 2, but likely it's gone (:q or :bd)
[06:42] <somsip> er.. :b 2
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> vcoinminer: maybe the #vim guys know?
[06:44] <vcoinminer> somsip ya, :bd kill the buffer, and that's the case if you have buffer 1&2(hidden?)&3.    but I would like to just make new file as number 2
[06:44] <vcoinminer> lotuspsychje oh, thanks. :D
[06:46] <somsip> vcoinminer: buffers will be allocated as they are needed AFAIK
[06:47] <vcoinminer> somsip hmm. that must broken somewhere because some plugins...  thanks. :)
[07:37] <samssammerz> How do I tell why a package was initially installed as a dependency?
[07:37] <samssammerz> i.e.   Just fed up!
[08:14] <agent_white> cfhowlett: Hey now, be nice. That's a phrase heard in 'G' rated movies. It could've been much worse. :)
[08:14] <Guest56931> Yes, That is for sure but I am a gentleman.
[08:16] <Guest56931> OK...  I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to offend anyone.
[08:23] <bindi> if i use my own configuration in /etc/network/interfaces, can i get rid of NetworkManager?
[08:23] <foolani> yes you can
[08:24] <bindi> I'm having trouble with my connections dying and I'm suspecting networkmanager (in truth I have no idea what causes it but I'd like to try that :P)
[08:25] <foolani> wifi ?
[08:25] <bindi> wired, 2 ethernets, one for WAN one for LAN

[08:27] <abb4s> hi every body , I can't install any app from software center it say : Failed to download repository information
[08:27] <abb4s> Check you internet connection
[08:28] <cfhowlett> abb4s, are you on that same computer now?
[08:28] <OerHeks> abb4s, on what ubuntu version? Utopic?
[08:28] <abb4s> cfhowlett, OerHeks yes im on the same computer , ubuntu 14.04
[08:30] <OerHeks> abb4s, try to change mirror in softwarecenter > edit > sources, and try again?
[08:31] <cfhowlett> abb4s, well you obviously have a working connection.  as OerHeks hinted at, your repo source is suspect.
[08:32] <Lapos> hello
[08:32] <Lapos> anybody uses a program to organize tasks?
[08:33] <agent_white> Lapos: I enjoy trello.

[08:35] <abb4s> cfhowlett, i just want to install Wine , i changed the mirror to USA but it not solved
[08:35] <spygame> hey guys, i'm running ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit and i'm trying to install virtualbox. i'm running into this error Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel plz help. i couldn't find a working solution so far. any help is much appreciated
[08:36] <cfhowlett> abb4s, use the terminal for this:  sudo apt-get update | nc termbin.com 9999
[08:36] <cfhowlett> that will give you a url abb4s .  copy and paste it here.
[08:37] <OerHeks> spygame, did you try to reinstall virtualbox ? can you paste the output on paste.ubuntu.com ?
[08:38] <spygame> OerHeks:  yes, just tried to reinstall it for the second time. same stuff
[08:39] <spygame> OerHeks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12858643/
[08:40] <abb4s> cfhowlett, what does this command do ?! opening a socket to termbin.com ??!!
[08:40] <cfhowlett> termbin is a paste utility.  you could also use pastebinit but that's blocked here.
[08:41] <root2_> 大家好
[08:41] <OerHeks> spygame, try this solution: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=62357#p291928 ( sudo apt-get remove dkms build-essential linux-headers-* + sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) )
[08:41] <cfhowlett> !cn | root2_
[08:46] <Bleakwise> how do i add virtual network interfaces?
[08:46] <abb4s> cfhowlett, wow ! very nice but it give me a error : http://termbin.com/w9b6
[08:46] <anillusion> hay
[08:46] <Bleakwise> my interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces don't show up in ifconfig
[08:46] <cfhowlett> !aptlock | abb4s that would be a different error than you reported earlier.
[08:46] <Bleakwise> i set the addresses statically and ifconfig eth0:0 up says "cannot configure address"
[08:47] <Bleakwise> or i fi use dhcp it says the same thing
[08:47] <spygame> OerHeks: same thing, i got the same error
[08:47] <abb4s> cfhowlett, ubuntu3 so what happen my apt database crashed ?!
[08:48] <cfhowlett> abb4s, do.  you have a process running which has locked your apt database.  therefore, new processes can't use it.  no dpgk, no install , no updates.
[08:48] <spygame> OerHeks: here's the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/12858676/
[08:49] <cfhowlett> abb4s, I would bet you have automatic updates running
[08:49] <spygame> OerHeks: by the way i forgot to add the output of this command sudo apt-get remove dkms build-essential linux-headers-*
[08:49] <abb4s> okay i do it
[08:51] <abb4s> cfhowlett,ubottu okay i think it solved : http://termbin.com/2efi
[08:51] <cfhowlett> abb4s, normal activity restored.  proceed to install.
[08:56] <Bleakwise> i'm using hte manula plage here and noneof this is working http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man5/interfaces.5.html
[08:58] <Bleakwise> any reason why creating virtual network interfaces in ubuntu isn't documented?
[08:58] <Bleakwise> every doc says to use /etc/network/interfaces, but that file is ignored by ubuntu
[08:58] <abb4s> cfhowlett, thanks really man it is working ...
[08:58] <cfhowlett> happy2help!  abb4s
[09:00] <Bleakwise> i mean do i need to disable "network-manager" or something?
[09:02] <abb4s> cfhowlett, separate from this issue the termbin.com is an amazing idea ... :O
[09:02] <Bleakwise> found the answer
[09:02] <Bleakwise> http://askubuntu.com/questions/653674/is-the-file-etc-network-interfaces-ignored-when-i-use-the-network-manager
[09:02] <cfhowlett> abb4s, I actually prefer pastebinit, but most folks use the default host which can't get past the Great Firewall
[09:03] <Bleakwise> i think it would be great if somewhere in the documentation about /etc/network/interfaces there was some mention about managed=true needing to be set in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[09:05] <Bleakwise> otherwise it's kind of like giving someone a new car and but denying them the keys and the title
[09:05] <abb4s> cfhowlett, Great Firewal ??!!! what is your mean ?!
[09:05] <cfhowlett> abb4s, I'm in China.  Many sites are blocked by the "Great Firewall".
[09:07] <abb4s> wtf, i listened about china and filtering ... in iran too we have filtering but it is more for porn and sexual sites
[09:07] <abb4s> cfhowlett, wtf, i listened about china and filtering ... in iran too we have filtering but it is more for porn and sexual sites
[09:07] <cfhowlett> abb4s, same mess, different page.
[09:09] <abb4s> cfhowlett, what ?! different page ?!
[09:09] <cfhowlett> different sites get blocked
[09:11] <abb4s> cfhowlett, can we have a private if you have time ?!
[09:12] <cfhowlett> abb4s, ok
[09:12] <agent_white> Bleakwise: Not a bad idea to emphasize in the wiki!  Maybe you should see about contributing that! -- That askubuntu response does slightly emply that enabling "managed" means you intend to solely use network-manager to manage those network interfaces... I believe...
[09:16] <agent_white> Bleakwise: On another note, Ubuntu will be switching to systemd in the near future (and already has started to fully move), so you'll be wanting to look into systemd-networkd which deals with virtual network devices.
[09:34] <huwjr> does anyone know of a decent malware scanner for websites? primary use is for WP sites.. after a bash/perl/python script ideally
[09:36] <Naughx> Windows malwares?
[09:37] <huwjr> base64/eval/obfuscated code primarily
[09:37] <huwjr> php
[09:37] <huwjr> just want something to scan the odd site here and there without much effort on my part
[09:37] <Naughx> Dunno really... You should plain avoid going to a site you don't trust
[09:38] <huwjr> can just write my own - but I know people spend hours writing them..
[09:38] <huwjr> I think you’re miss understanding
[09:38] <huwjr> I want to scan the codebase - not a live url
[09:38] <cfhowlett> huwjr, suggestion: ask #python
[09:39] <huwjr> and if there’s a better pl/bash script?
[09:39] <huwjr> nevermind, forgive me for asking
[09:43] <agent_white> huwjr: For malware scanner, best to not write your own as it won't be a simple script by any means.
[09:44] <agent_white> Find one that folks have dedicated many days/years to perfect, and use theirs instead :)
[09:44] <dimitrios__> Hello guys. Anyone coming across with a good knowledge on maldet ? I am running it on ubuntu but seems that I am having some problems with the cron.
[09:44] <agent_white> !ask
[09:51] <dimitrios__> I have installed maldet on Ubuntu 12.04 with ClamAV. Postfix is also running there. The problem is that when doing manual scans I get the report with the results and also an email is sent to the email address I have set in the maldet configuration. But the problem is that I was hoping the maldet itself should scan daily by default and send emails with its findings, which in my case it doesnt. Is there anything that I have to do enable the cronjob to
[09:51] <dimitrios__>  work properly? Here is my current crontab script under /etc/cron.daily/maldet http://pasted.co/7ccad6af
[09:59] <chrismck1nnel> hi all, i have a huge amount of logs in /var/log/auth.log for things like `cat`, `ps`, etc - is there a way i can define which commands i want to log?
[10:12] <lyss> hi
[10:19] <b100s> hi2all!
[10:19] <agent_white> \o
[10:19] <lyss> who have the lat version of ubuntu?
[10:20] <b100s> is there hotkey, in ubuntu 14.04, for resize window: i want to stretch it to left and right border only
[10:20] <agent_white> chrismck1nnel: What exactly are you looking for in logs? And why are you looking in auth.log?
[10:21] <fes> hi guys. i am using gnome edition wily werewolf and my touchpad's tap and natural scrolling is not configurable. what can cause this? in arch it worked out of the box so I know it works.
[10:21] <lyss> does ubuntu have transmission embedded?
[10:21] <agent_white> b100s: Alt+F8 ? or Alt+Middle-mouse button ?
[10:21] <chrismck1nnel> agent_white: i think i've tracked down why i'm getting such verbose logging in auth.log - looks like someone installed snoopy on the box which records every since command run by any user
[10:22] <fes> lyss, yes it does.
[10:22] <chrismck1nnel> agent_white: thanks all the same (my problem was my auth.log file ended up 5gb over the weekend)
[10:22] <agent_white> chrismck1nnel: Generally, auth.log is (as the name of it says) for authorizations, as well as usages of sudo.
[10:22] <fes> lyss, at least in the gnome edition.
[10:22] <chrismck1nnel> agent_white: yeah exactly, that's why i was so confused, but it looks like a third party app is to blame
[10:23] <b100s> agent_white, thx a lot
[10:23] <agent_white> chrismck1nnel: Oh wow! What in the hell... why it records in auth.log is... not smart on snoopy's part.
[10:23] <agent_white> b100s: Cheers!
[10:24] <chrismck1nnel> agent_white: yeh, it's a shame :)
[10:25] <agent_white> chrismck1nnel: https://github.com/a2o/snoopy
[10:26] <chrismck1nnel> agent_white: yep
[10:27] <chrismck1nnel> agent_white: boo
[10:27] <alocer> who here have installed league of legends ? how ?
[10:27] <agent_white> chrismck1nnel: Looks like auth.log is the default location for pretty much all the distros it's aimed towards... maybe toss-out snoopy and just filter entries from syslog?
[10:27] <agent_white> chrismck1nnel: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/filters.html

[10:40] <b3h3m0th> abraku:  you did not probably
[10:40] <jpds> alocer: You do know that Ubuntu doesn't run SELinux at all?
[10:40] <b3h3m0th> you might have corrupted you bootloader
[10:40] <alocer> jpds, yes . i have seen some guys enabling selinux on ubunut 0.o
[10:40] <abraku> i select full disk encryption, and then i get th the error of possible gpt partition table but no alid fake msdos partition found

[10:43] <fes> alocer, damn, archwiki helped me solve my touchpad problem in seconds. Haha.
[10:43] <alocer> jpds, some one on #fedora mentioned a youtube video called 'SELinux for Mere Mortals' . i will be checking that later :D
[10:43] <alocer> :D @fes
[10:43] <fabio> its possible to upgrade from 14.10 to 14.04 LTS?
[10:44] <alocer> fabio, you sould use downgrade mate <:
[10:44] <fabio> alocer, i think its a upgrade because 14.10 is EOL and 14.04 its LTS
[10:45] <alocer> fabio, :P i dont really care . but i bet google care a lot more than me :D

[10:59] <SopaXT> Alt-Ctrl-T does nothing
[11:00] <SopaXT> $ gnome-terminal just hangs up
[11:00] <SopaXT> + reinstalled
[11:00] <alocer> so ?
[11:00] <SopaXT> + still not working
[11:00] <inteus> b3h3m0th: maybe this can help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/certificates-and-security.html
[11:00] <SopaXT> and if I remove it, XTerm works by default
[11:00] <OnkelTem> alocer: I don't need to know what is samba (at least because I know what is it)
[11:01] <OnkelTem> I asked - why I don't see comupters in a windows network
[11:01] <alocer> indeed OnkelTem
[11:01] <alocer> why  ?
[11:01] <alocer> think a little more.  ( i m an ***** )
[11:03] <OnkelTem> alocer: about what? I don't see computers - this means KDE may use some libraries which are not insstalled
[11:03] <OnkelTem> but libsmbclient is installed
[11:03] <OnkelTem> what's next?
[11:04] <hateball> OnkelTem: can you access them directly tho?
[11:04] <alocer> OnkelTem, nope . think a little more :D
[11:05] <inteus> alocer: stop trolling
[11:05] <OnkelTem> alocer: please teach your children, of course if you have them
[11:05] <alocer> :D . sry . but i m tired of questions without the proper knowledge .
[11:05] <OnkelTem> alocer: your knowloedge? Yeah, I c
[11:06] <inteus> OnkelTem: don't feed the troll
[11:06] <alocer> OnkelTem, check your workgroup . and see if samba is allowed to connect to that range ip .
[11:06] <alocer> OnkelTem, ROFL >
[11:08] <alocer> OnkelTem, if your still there tell me what the problem was or if it isn't fixed yet .
[11:10] <SopaXT> 15.04, gnome-terminal just hangs on console and doesn't start up
[11:10] <OnkelTem> hateball: when I try to open a location like smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/ - I get timeout error.
[11:11] <OnkelTem> alocer: ^
[11:11] <OnkelTem> in Dolphin
[11:11] <alocer> oh . OnkelTem are you sure you can see <IP_ADDRESS> ? ping for example ?
[11:12] <OnkelTem> alocer: mr Blaine, relogin!
[11:13] <OnkelTem> alocer: you're right, it was 191 :)
[11:13] <OnkelTem> Ok, I *do* can see the shares when accessing directly
[11:13] <alocer> are you on a domain or on a workgroup ?
[11:13] <OnkelTem> But still no network browsing
[11:13] <citrix> hey
[11:14] <OnkelTem> alocer: a workgroup, I guess. At least nobody here heard about a domains and they definitely have no PDC or something
[11:14] <citrix> anyone can explain me how to doubly linked list are sort??
[11:15] <citrix> anyone can explain me how to doubly linked list are sort??
[11:15] <inteus> !patience | citrix
[11:16] <OnkelTem> citrix: saying for myself - I didn't get the question
[11:17] <alocer> OnkelTem, can you tell me the output of hostname -f please :DE
[11:17] <citrix> how to linked list element sort
[11:17] <alocer> citrix, you are not searching in google . you *** . you are talking to people .
[11:17] <OnkelTem> LOL
[11:17] <alocer> citrix, so talk .
[11:18] <ioria> citrix, in which language, C ?
[11:19] <citrix> void sort()
[11:19] <citrix> {
[11:19] <citrix> 	int x;
[11:19] <citrix> 	newnode=start;
[11:19] <citrix> 	current=start;
[11:19] <citrix>
[11:20] <ioria> citrix, usually you use  a pointer... but don't know if is on topic
[11:20] <SopaXT> 15.04, gnome-terminal just hangs on console and doesn't start up
[11:20] <OnkelTem> alocer: it prints just a hostname which is a random stuff, how that matter?
[11:20] <inteus> !pastebin | citrix
[11:20] <citrix> void sort()
[11:20] <citrix> {
[11:20] <citrix> 	int x;
[11:20] <citrix> 	newnode=start;
[11:20] <citrix> 	current=start;
[11:20] <citrix>
[11:21] <alocer> OnkelTem, so we are sure you're not on a domain .
[11:21] <OnkelTem> alocer: absolutely, I am not
[11:21] <OnkelTem> (brb in 20-30 mins)
[11:21] <mjayk> SopaXT: tried reinstalling it ?
[11:22] <citrix> hey alocer sir can you help me
[11:22] <OnkelTem> meanwhile, alocer may talk with citrix, seems like he has summoned the asker of his nightmare MUahhahha
[11:22] <citrix> i was  send the code
[11:22] <alocer> OnkelTem, grep -i workgroup /etc/samba/smb.conf ?? the answer ?
[11:22] <OnkelTem> moment
[11:23] <SopaXT> mjayk, of course
[11:23] <OnkelTem> workgroup = WORKGROUP
[11:23] <OnkelTem> alocer: default ^
[11:23] <alocer> OnkelTem, others are in same workgroup ?
[11:24] <SopaXT> mjayk, reset also doesn't work
[11:24] <OnkelTem> alocer: yep, just checked, same WORKGROUP
[11:26] <hateball> OnkelTem: have you setup a standard username/password in the kde samba browse settings?
[11:27] <Vimar> I cant work on KDE because of plasma crash, the dekstop is completely black, Anybody had this problem...?
[11:27] <OnkelTem> hateball: I havent configured anything, this is pretty fresh install
[11:28] <zertyu> hi there is there any toool to translate OID to MIB ?
[11:28] <hateball> OnkelTem: fire up krunner and find the kcm module and config it. at least it works as expected when browsing in a domain, I can't say for workgroups
[11:39] <budRich> yolo

[11:56] <orfeo> Hi!
[11:57] <orfeo> Could someone help me out to install php5 please?
[11:57] <ModFather> orfeo : apt-get install php5
[12:00] <uupz> mornin
[12:00] <orfeo> ModFather: I guess I wrote a more specific question at #php.
[12:01] <massena> bom dia
[12:01] <massena> alguem podia me ajudar
[12:02] <massena> instalei o ubuntu studio 14.04 e gostaria de intalar nele o Team Viewer
[12:03] <anselmolsm> massena, see pvt msg
[12:07] <uupz> hello? is it me you're looking for?
[12:09] <k1l> uupz: you got a technical ubuntu support issue?
[12:10] <SopaXT> 15-04, gnome-terminal not working, when launched from xterm, nothing but a hanging console
[12:10] <uupz> k1l, what's a good gmail program to use for ubuntu? i have one but when i try to set my login/pass it says auth failed.  so i log into gmail with my phone and its telling me its blocking it because im logging on from a strange program in linux
[12:11] <k1l> uupz: what about the classic: thunderbird
[12:11] <uupz> well i configured google to be linked with ubuntu, is there any other app?
[12:16] <Ben64> uupz: that doesn't make sense
[12:19] <uupz> Ben64, how does that not make sense?
[12:19] <uupz> i literally clicked a button in Ubuntu that says Link an account to ubuntu, and it had choices of google and live and aim
[12:19] <uupz> i chose google, input login/password and now ubuntu has permission to modify my google account
[12:21] <OnkelTem> hateball: (was afk) what is the name of the module I should find?
[12:22] <hateball> OnkelTem: on KDE 4.x it is "/usr/bin/kcmshell4 smb"
[12:22] <hateball> I am not on a plasma 5 system now so I dunno. Just search krunner for samba
[12:24] <SirLagz> my laptop can't pick up my battery, and hasn't for some time but I never got around to looking into it. Any pointers as to where I should start looking as to why it doens't pick up the battery?
[12:25] <orfeo> How do I figure which specific version will be installed if I use apt-get install php5 command?
[12:25] <SirLagz> the laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L750D
[12:25] <SirLagz> orfeo: apt-cache show php5
[12:25] <orfeo> SirLagz: thank you.
[12:26] <SirLagz> orfeo: no problems
[12:42] <Shibe> whats the difference between apt-get purge and apt-get remove --purge
[12:43] <daftykins> nothing
[12:43] <daftykins> in most cases it's overkill for you to bother purging though
[12:45] <MrWhiskers> Anyone good with SED?
[12:45] <EriC^^> MrWhiskers: what's the problem?
[12:45] <MrWhiskers> Im doing a curl to send a file
[12:45] <MrWhiskers> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/TRpI5cew/
[12:45] <MrWhiskers> Im using grep to get: <statusString>Reboot Required</statusString>  from the results
[12:46] <MrWhiskers> but want it to show Reboot Required  instead
[12:46] <MrWhiskers> is SED the best tool for that?
[12:46] <daftykins> MrWhiskers: #bash is more relevant there i'd think
[12:47] <EriC^^> MrWhiskers: if you always expect Reboot Required, you could use grep -o "Reboot Required"
[12:48] <MrWhiskers> EriC^^:  well, the results could be differnt, and i want to see it either way.
[12:48] <MrWhiskers> So its really reading the content of the statusString tag.
[12:48] <test__> how to find name of the logical volume that my root partition is mounted
[12:48] <test__> for example ,  df -Th /
[12:48] <test__> shows
[12:49] <test__>   /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ext4  6.1G  3.3G  2.5G  58% /
[12:49] <daftykins> that's a very small root volume
[12:49] <test__> so i need to find the logical volume name
[12:49] <test__> i need to extend that daftykins
[12:50] <hateball> test__: vgdisplay
[12:51] <EriC^^> MrWhiskers: you could use this ugly hack | awk '/status/' | sed -e 's/<statusString>//' -e 's/<\/statusString>//'
[12:51] <hateball> test__: oh, also you see in /etc/fstab what is mounted where
[12:52] <test__> hateball: not that, the name of that logical volume
[12:52] <test__> any command for that
[12:52] <hateball> test__: lvdisplay
[12:52] <test__> lvdisplay shows the name as /dev/ubuntu-vg/root
[12:53] <test__> but  df shows    /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ext4  6.1G  3.3G  2.5G  58% /
[12:53] <test__> so how can somebody confirm the correct volume name while doing lvm extend
[13:03] <SopaXT> 15-04, gnome-terminal not working, when launched from xterm, nothing but a hanging console
[13:08] <ulot0> list
[13:08] <daftykins> ulot0: no
[13:09] <polishpoliceforc> hello
[13:09] <ulot0> daftykins, what?
[13:09] <polishpoliceforc> does anyone know how to check how much space unity on ubuntu is taking up?
[13:09] <daftykins> ulot0: ask away with support questions, but typing 'list' does not do anything here.
[13:10] <ulot0> polishpoliceforc, hello
[13:10] <daftykins> polishpoliceforc: just the DE? that's a lot of packages really.
[13:10] <lotuspsychje> polishpoliceforc: df -h ?
[13:10] <ulot0> polishpoliceforc, how are you
[13:10] <lotuspsychje> polishpoliceforc: or you mean unity alone?
[13:10] <polishpoliceforc> i'm good how are you all?
[13:10] <polishpoliceforc> unity alone
[13:11] <pchangl> I'm fine
[13:11] <polishpoliceforc> i want to get rid of unity and install xfce to save more space
[13:11] <lotuspsychje> polishpoliceforc: better install xubuntu fresh then
[13:11] <daftykins> you'd have been better off installing xubuntu from the get-go
[13:11] <daftykins> but you won't save much disk space imo
[13:11] <ulot0> daftykins, OK，I'm wrong, I don't want to do anything!
[13:12] <lotuspsychje> polishpoliceforc: or a lubuntu, tweaked for space and speed
[13:12] <daftykins> but ugly ;)
[13:13] <ulot0> daftykins, Can you help me see if I'm writing a script right?
[13:13] <jophish> Hi!
[13:13] <pseudonymous> Hey - installing Ubuntu on a mac and he wants the mac-style KB layout.. xmodmap mostly works but unity still treats the old super key as super -- can I disable *all* unity/compiz keyboard shortcuts ?
[13:14] <jophish> When  I run /etc/init.d/lightdm start it hangs on 'starting lightdm (vis systemctl): lightdm.service'
[13:14] <jophish> I'm not able to reboot at the moment because of a long running operation in progress
[13:15] <jophish> I've reinstalled the lightdm package, but that hasn't helped
[13:15] <jophish> what else can I do
[13:16] <daftykins> ulot0: no, that's not on topic for this channel.
[13:16] <lotuspsychje> ulot0: maybe the ##programming guys know howto write scripts
[13:17] <ipoxfred> im havinga gain issues with autocomplete (tab) on a cli. There is a file named book.rar I want to unrar, so it should be unrar bo... and autocomplete. Autocomplete does not woirk
[13:17] <ipoxfred> what am I doing wrong?
[13:18] <ModFather> ipoxfred you are missing a parameter
[13:18] <ulot0> ok , I'm sorry,bye
[13:18] <ModFather> unrar -e bo ( then tab )
[13:18] <ipoxfred> ModFather, why the -d? and how do I get a list of parameters?
[13:19] <lotuspsychje> ipoxfred: man unrar
[13:19] <ModFather> ipoxfred yes man unrar , also you can check this out http://sysbible.org/2008/07/25/unrar-command-line-usage-under-debian-linux/
[13:19] <jophish> What log files could I look at to determine what the problem is?
[13:20] <pHuNk3r5> hey all, i deleted the /var/lib/dpkg/lock file because it was complaining that apt-get was being used.  Now I can't install anything.  what should I do?
[13:20] <lotuspsychje> jophish: maybe lightdm.log?
[13:20] <tsp1> Can I set up my ubuntu to use static IP if dhcp fails?
[13:20] <pbx> tsp1, yes
[13:20] <lotuspsychje> pHuNk3r5: recovermode/fix broken packages
[13:21] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | pHuNk3r5
[13:21] <pbx> tsp1, do you mean, use static IP conditionally, if you detect somehow that dhcp is failing? that i don't know.
[13:21] <ipoxfred> i dont get it, the command does nothing "unrar -e book.rar"
[13:21] <ipoxfred> wrong?
[13:21] <tsp1> I have a computer that is beeing moved from one location to another, and maybe back
[13:21] <tsp1> one place has dhcp,  the other does not.
[13:22] <jophish> lotuspsychje: nothing seems to be turning up there when I run /etc/init.d/lightdm start
[13:22] <tsp1> o_be_one:
[13:22] <pHuNk3r5> lotuspsychje, It doesn't fail to boot.  It just errors when I try to apt-get install new programs
[13:22] <tsp1> pbx: so then it's static IP conditionaly
[13:22] <ModFather> ipoxfred : unrar e book.rar
[13:23] <lotuspsychje> pHuNk3r5: it gave you the error while software center and using apt-get simultaneously probably
[13:23] <lotuspsychje> pHuNk3r5: so erasing that lock isnt the way to go
[13:24] <ipoxfred> tank you guys
[13:24] <ModFather> ipoxfred you are welcome
[13:24] <lotuspsychje> jophish: can you provide some more info, ubuntu version? why isnt lightdm starting by itself?
[13:25] <thatkid> little off-topic, But can you guys help me find a suitable wifi router for 100mbps internet connection?
[13:26] <lotuspsychje> thatkid: try ##hardware mate
[13:26] <jophish> lotuspsychje: sure thing: ubuntu 15.04 x86_64. It starts by itself on boot. I'm recovering a 3tb hdd at the moment, and that's taking a long time, I left it overnight and when I came back I wasn't getting any displays (Ctrl-Alt-F2 doesn't switch to a tty either). I sshed into the machine and ran /etc/init.d/lightdm restart to no avail
[13:27] <jophish> the disk recovery still has some time to go and I'd rather not reboot in the middle of it
[13:27] <thatkid> lotuspsychje: thanks for suggestion, I'll ask in that channel :)
[13:27] <lotuspsychje> jophish: should that not be sudo start lightdm or something
[13:28] <jophish> lotuspsychje: I get a problem with upstart doing it like that: start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
[13:29] <lotuspsychje> jophish: sudo service start lightdm?
[13:29] <tsp1> so, how do I make ubuntu choose network configuration conditionaly?
[13:29] <daftykins> tsp1: you're going to need to interact with the system upon move regardless.
[13:29] <lotuspsychje> jophish: or sudo service sddm restart
[13:30] <lotuspsychje> jophish: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> !bot
[13:32] <jophish> lotuspsychje: for "sudo service start lightdm" I get "start: unrecognized service"
[13:32] <EriC^^> jophish: try sudo service lightdm restart , but where are you backing up the disk btw? in the gui? cause it will reset it
[13:32] <jophish> and for ssdm restart I get: Failed to restart ssdm.service: Unit ssdm.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
[13:32] <jophish> EriC^^: In a tmux session
[13:32] <EriC^^> jophish: oh ok
[13:33] <EriC^^> jophish: so you have a tty right now
[13:33] <lotuspsychje> jophish: yeah try sudo service lightdm restart as EriC^^ suggests
[13:33] <jophish> EriC^^: yeah, I'm ssshing in
[13:33] <jophish> "sudo service lightdm restart" seems to have hung
[13:34] <EriC^^> try sudo systemctl restart lightdm
[13:34] <Cerealkill3r> Hey guys,is there an app launcher applet kind of like classicmenu indicator,but that will display a certain set of applications right on the panel along with the other applets?
[13:34] <jophish> EriC^^: same behavior
[13:34] <lotuspsychje> Cerealkill3r: dont think so, you dont like left unity sidebar?
[13:34] <Cerealkill3r> lotuspsychje, Not really ^__^
[13:35] <Cerealkill3r> but I like some of unity's features,that's why i haven't switched to gnome
[13:35] <lotuspsychje> Cerealkill3r: how about a dock at bottom?
[13:35] <Cerealkill3r> like cairo/docky? not really
[13:35] <EriC^^> jophish: are you sure the recovery is working? did you try tmux attach ?
[13:35] <lotuspsychje> Cerealkill3r: i think terminal and classicmenu are your best bet :p
[13:36] <Cerealkill3r> lotuspsychje, It's kind of weird to configure tho,i used alacarte but it won't work that well
[13:36] <lotuspsychje> Cerealkill3r: dont know that1
[13:36] <lotuspsychje> !info alacarte
[13:36] <Cerealkill3r> lotuspsychje, well thanks for your ansers :)
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> Cerealkill3r  there's Unity Launcher Folders, very handy... http://unity-folders.exceptionfound.com/
[13:37] <lotuspsychje> Cerealkill3r: maybe startup items can launch your favorite apps, and minimize on indicator menu (for the apps who does)?
[13:40] <jophish> EriC^^: yeah, I'm watching it tick by right now
[13:40] <SuperLag> Where does one get the Alternative installer for Trusty LTS that has the RAID config options?
[13:41] <daftykins> SuperLag: it's not separate media anymore.
[13:41] <daftykins> just use server or desktop
[13:41] <SuperLag> daftykins: and how do you do RAID config from the desktop installer?
[13:41] <lotuspsychje> !raid | supergauntlet
[13:41] <daftykins> plenty of guides about.
[13:45] <SuperLag> DaveQB: I don't see an option for configuring RAID in the default installer.
[13:46] <SuperLag> daftykins: ^^^^
[13:46] <SuperLag> DaveQB: sorry :)
[13:46] <Guest57> hello there, im using ubuntu version 12.04. I can`t install libre office in this OS. i have downloaded the libreoffice .gz version and tried to double click installing process, but the office section of this Os doesnt show libre office
[13:46]  * Guest57 is waiting for help
[13:46] <daftykins> SuperLag: which mode are you looking to do specifically?
[13:46] <SuperLag> daftykins: it lets you do LVM... but I don't see how you set up RAID, and that's what I'm trying to do, rather than install and set up a degraded RAID array after the fact
[13:47] <daftykins> Guest57: you need to use packages, not manual downloads.
[13:47] <SuperLag> daftykins: I have 4 identical drives. I'd like to use one pair for /, the other pair for /home
[13:47] <SuperLag> daftykins: in two RAID1 arrays
[13:47] <Guest57> daftykins:  u mean.. to install from through terminal right?
[13:48] <daftykins> Guest57: doesn't have to be terminal based, just package management based instead of downloading a .tar.gz like you did
[13:48] <daftykins> SuperLag: well you were already linked to the relevant help page, did you look?
[13:49] <SuperLag> daftykins: of course, and there's no helpful information there
[13:49] <daftykins> yes there is :/ you want the parts referring to mdadm
[13:49] <SuperLag> I posted a link. I said that link wasn't helpful.
[13:49] <daftykins> you can partition the disks and create the pairing immediately, then select the md devices during the manual partitioning stage of the desktop installer
[13:50] <SuperLag> what are you referring to, then?
[13:50] <SuperLag> daftykins: and no, you cannot pair immediately.
[13:51] <daftykins> yes you can
[13:51] <daftykins> http://askubuntu.com/questions/505446/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-with-raid-1-using-desktop-installer
[13:51] <SuperLag> I'm looking at the installer with my own two eyes, right this second. There's no option for that.
[13:51] <daftykins> i didn't say the installer had the option to do it
[13:51] <daftykins> i said it can be done :)
[13:51] <SuperLag> Okay. Checking that out.

[13:52] <KomiaPoika> what are those files by the thousands in ubuntu? ./.Private/ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWbyYgZgwa88n-SUU5..... etc
[13:53] <lotuspsychje> KomiaPoika: smells like encrypted files, did you choose encrypted /home at setup?

[13:54] <RubyDZ> Hi everyone
[13:54] <Guest734> hey sorry i got disconnected.
[13:54] <KomiaPoika> it's already encrypted i'm just backing up
[13:54] <KomiaPoika> do i have to keep all those files or are they just double the data?
[13:55] <lotuspsychje> KomiaPoika: did you un-encrypt to backup first?
[13:55] <RubyDZ> I used to have Ubuntu on my Compaq Mini 110 a while ago and I forgot the password. Now I'm trying to reinstall but when I boot from my LiveUSB the screen freezes at the "try/install" options area. Any ideas on how to get this fixed?
[13:55] <Guest734> so who can help me install libre office in ubuntu 12.04 as i have failured install the office package through double click installing process with.gz file
[13:55] <KomiaPoika> lotuspsychje: i'm backing up the home dir to another box using scp -r so i see all the files in clear but it's also copuying those thousands of files
[13:55] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: sudo apt-get install libreoffice
[13:56] <EriC^^> RubyDZ: you dont need to reinstall to change the pass, unless you want to upgrade anyways or fresh install
[13:56] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  iv tried that process ago, but it din work
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> Guest734  libreoffice comes with ubuntu, no need for a ter
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> tar*
[13:56] <Guest734> MonkeyDust:  my ubuntu doesnt have libreoffice
[13:56] <lotuspsychje> KomiaPoika: not sure, i thought encryption made 1 big file
[13:56] <lotuspsychje> !info libreoffice precise
[13:56] <RubyDZ> Eric^^: I actually tried multiple times to retrieve the password but I failed ... I want to upgrade and have a fresh install
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> Guest734  the install it, from the repos
[13:56] <KomiaPoika> it does, when you just plugin the hard drive
[13:57] <KomiaPoika> anyway it wasn't that many files so i'll just keep them just in case
[13:57] <lotuspsychje> KomiaPoika: ok good luck
[13:57] <KomiaPoika> thx
[13:57] <Guest734> MonkeyDust:  u mean how to do that
[13:57]  * Guest734 a new user to linux world
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> Guest734  like you would install any other program
[13:58] <Guest734> MonkeyDust:  iv tried the installation file downloading from interent but i din work
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> Guest734  from the software menu, or with apt-get install
[13:58] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install libreoffice
[13:58] <EriC^^> RubyDZ: ok
[13:59] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  MonkeyDust  in tried all the process everything installs though terminal but the problem is the office section of application doesnt show libre office, hence i cant use that
[13:59] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: did you have error after installing from terminal?
[13:59] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  no
[13:59] <Guest734> no error
[14:00] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: it installed correctly and you cant see libreoffice icons?
[14:00] <RubyDZ> EriC^^: So my issue is that the LiveUSB is freezing immediately after I choose the Install option ... even trying to power off the laptop doesn't work, I have to remove the battery to turn the thing off. Removing the USB doesn't make it unfreeze/power off either.
[14:00] <KomiaPoika> how do i see my network adapter in ubunut?
[14:00] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  yes i cant see
[14:00] <RubyDZ> I'm not sure how I can reinstall
[14:00] <KomiaPoika> how do i see my network adapter make and model in ubuntu?
[14:00] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: you searched dash also?
[14:01] <EriC^^> RubyDZ: hmm, no idea, i can help you recover the old pass if you want to get any files or something though
[14:01] <RubyDZ> EriC^^: No need for that, there are no any files on this that are important ...
[14:01] <RubyDZ> I'm just looking for help reinstalling it
[14:02] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  yeah, it only shows .gz file in download folder
[14:02] <daftykins> KomiaPoika: "lspci" if it's an internal card
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> KomiaPoika  try lspci | grep network
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> KomiaPoika  try lspci | grep Network
[14:02] <KomiaPoika> ah yes thank you
[14:03] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: type libreoffice in terminal please
[14:03] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  ok sure hold a sec
[14:04] <RubyDZ> Could my old Ubuntu installation be corrupted and interfering with my LiveUSB's performance?
[14:04] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  it says libreoffice is currently not installed to install it....
[14:04] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: ok now sudo apt-get install libreoffice
[14:04] <daftykins> RubyDZ: not really. not unless it's trying to mount your internal disk
[14:05] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  it says to do.. apt-get install libreoffice-common
[14:05] <Guest734> which one should i do lotuspsychje
[14:05] <RubyDZ> I remember that I reinstalled this old version a few times - there was something wrong with it, not sure what
[14:05] <RubyDZ> Trying to boot it up now shows me some error message about mounting manually or something
[14:05] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: have you been uninstalling things you shouldnt?
[14:05] <maddawg2> is there a way to tell what version of a package is in the ubuntu repos?
[14:05] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: try what it asks yes
[14:06] <maddawg2> i w ant to find out if OwnCloud is current or if i should install from the official repo
[14:06] <daftykins> RubyDZ: are you typing from the live session now?
[14:06] <daftykins> maddawg2: apt-cache showpkg <package>
[14:06] <lotuspsychje> !info owncloud | maddawg2
[14:06] <RubyDZ> No I'm on my other laptop - Dell running Win 7
[14:06] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  ok let me do the libreoffice-common thing
[14:06] <daftykins> RubyDZ: but it's booted into live right now?
[14:06] <RubyDZ> daftykins: No the LiveUSB is booted but frozen on the options screen
[14:07] <RubyDZ> The Installer boot menu
[14:07] <daftykins> RubyDZ: does it respond to "Ctrl+Alt+F1" ?
[14:07] <daftykins> oh that one.
[14:07] <daftykins> you should run memtest.
[14:07] <maddawg2> hmm owncloud should exist
[14:07] <maddawg2> lol
[14:07] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  is it possible to install the libreoffice wirting program only?
[14:07] <RubyDZ> memtest on the installer boot menu?
[14:07] <RubyDZ> Or on the original installation?
[14:07] <daftykins> or download a bootable memtest ISO.
[14:07] <daftykins> whichever you prefer.
[14:08] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: try the software center mate
[14:08] <auronandace> Guest734: sudo apt-get install libreoffice-writer
[14:08] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  ok bro let me check then
[14:08] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: or what auronandace just suggested
[14:09] <Guest734> ok auronandace  ur command seeems promising.. let me try
[14:10] <RubyDZ> daftykins: I booted up the hard disk (which has an old Ubuntu installation ~2011/2012, I'm trying to reinstall it) and am running memtest86+ v4.20
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: libreoffice should be default on 12.04...im wondering what you did to brake it?
[14:10] <RubyDZ> Am I doing this right?
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> Guest734  and not 'ur', but 'your'
[14:10] <daftykins> RubyDZ: well you pick memtest from the menu, so ubuntu itself will not fully boot, no.
[14:10] <auronandace> RubyDZ: why are you using a release that is no longer supported?
[14:11] <RubyDZ> daftykins: yeah it's a blue screen running tests right now
[14:11] <daftykins> auronandace: that's not relevant when the query is a live session not booting.
[14:11] <daftykins> RubyDZ: good stuff, give it until 'passes' hits 2.
[14:11] <daftykins> (it'll take hours)
[14:11] <Guest734> auronandace:  the whole libreoffice installation says it wants 174mb in my HDR, and the only writer demands 200mb space ! :o
[14:11] <uupz> i did sudo apt-get install guake.  now i want to run guake but i'm trying to pin it to a custom bar i have.  how do i run guake from a terminal and still be able to close that terminal and have guake running
[14:12] <auronandace> daftykins: he says he is trying to reinstall it
[14:12] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  actually im using an ubuntu taged as voyager , i think its adorned by some french developers but they din put libreoffice here
[14:12] <lotuspsychje> uupz: run quake as startup item?
[14:12] <daftykins> auronandace: yeah...
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> uupz  add guake to Startup applications... f12 to activate, IIRC
[14:13] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: what kind of ubuntu is this.. got a name?
[14:13] <RubyDZ> auronandace: I actually installed Ubuntu on my old netbook, around '11/'12 and I abandoned it. I'm trying to reinstall it with the latest version of Ubuntu, I just torrented that from the official site last night.
[14:13] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  xfce, voyager
[14:13] <RubyDZ> auronandace: oh, and it's she, not he :)
[14:13] <auronandace> RubyDZ: ahh, sorry for the misunderstanding
[14:13] <daftykins> auronandace: best not to jump all over helpees when you don't know :)
[14:14] <RubyDZ> daftykins: it says Pass 28% right now, Test #6
[14:14] <lotuspsychje> Guest734: if this is it: http://voyagerlive.org/ its not supported here mate
[14:14] <RubyDZ> auronandace: No problem
[14:14] <daftykins> RubyDZ: yeah no need for updates, just keep going until passes gets to 2. it'll be a while
[14:14] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  ohh may i ask why not
[14:15] <Guest734> lotuspsychje:  as its made with ubuntu xfce
[14:15] <daftykins> Guest734: other variants have their own problems.
[14:15] <RubyDZ> daftykins: Oh, now I see, you mean where there are columns and one of them says Pass, right?
[14:15] <daftykins> install a real ubuntu and we can happily help :)
[14:15] <daftykins> RubyDZ: yep
[14:15] <Guest734> daftykins:  ohh i see
[14:16] <RubyDZ> daftykins: Cool, I'll wait until then and update y'all :)
[14:16] <RubyDZ> Thanks for your help!
[14:16] <daftykins> np
[14:16] <uupz> nice, thanks
[14:18] <opsman> I tried Voyager for while..wasn't bad.
[14:18] <opsman> I'm a XFCE fan so tried just about every stock XFCE distro around.
[14:18] <daftykins> Guest734: here's the answer though, install this PPA then you can get it - i can't help you any further though: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/08/upgrade-libreoffice-5-0-ubuntu-linux-mint/
[14:19] <Guest734> daftykins:  ok mate let me check it out, hope this will work
[14:26] <Zetta> badbodh: Hello friend. Are you still there?
[14:26] <badbodh> Zetta, yes
[14:27] <Zetta> badbodh, I see. I have just noticed the notebook don't heat up when running Windows 7.
[14:27] <Zetta> Perhaps then we can rule out the hardware issue possibility?
[14:27] <badbodh> yes. then check if any process is eating up cpu
[14:28] <Zetta> badbodh, Definately Firefox.
[14:28] <badbodh> try clearing the cache
[14:28] <Zetta> badbodh,  It's weird because it's taking a lot more then it should. I'm using Linux for less then a month .
[14:28] <badbodh> remove history> select "everything" instead of "last hour" , and clean only cache
[14:29] <Zetta> Or maybe a bit more but certainly less than two.
[14:29] <Zetta> I did it already. ;(
[14:29] <SuperLag> daftykins: I stand corrected.
[14:29] <badbodh> then it's website or browser specific. try the same page on another browser. say epiphany or midori
[14:29] <SuperLag> daftykins: thank you, sir
[14:30] <Zetta> Will do.
[14:30] <badbodh> if you still get high cpu usage, the websites are faulty
[14:30] <daftykins> SuperLag: try not to be so resistant in future :) it's highly demotivating when giving help.
[14:31] <Zetta> badbodh, Do you mind trying access megamitenseiwikia and neoseeker.com to check it out if it happens the same there?
[14:33] <ioria> Zetta, yeah .... 39 % cpu   if the culprit is FF , maybe flashplayer is involved
[14:33] <OerHeks> Zetta, just read back, on what videocard? the buildin intel or ?
[14:33] <badbodh> Zetta, were you playing the videos on neoseeker ?
[14:33] <Zetta> The building intel, yes, OerHeks.
[14:34] <Zetta> badbodh, no. It's curious because it's just some sites.
[14:34] <Zetta> badbodh, on YouTube I can play videos without the fan going crazy however there are websites that I can't.
[14:34] <auronandace> Zetta: sounds like flash
[14:35] <badbodh> disable flash plugin completely and try. flash on ff is outdated and causes trouble on mine too.
[14:35] <Zetta> auronandace, any first step suggestions?
[14:35] <Zetta> badbodh, alright.
[14:35] <Segfault_> Hi. I have added a few gpg keys to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d and they don't work. They keys are named <some-repository>.gpg and are in the form of plaintext public keys. Have I misunderstood something here?
[14:35] <badbodh> even chromium's pepperflash runs bad on dailymotion. i disable flash everywhere. html5 runs nicely.
[14:35] <badbodh> i got intel onboard too
[14:36] <OerHeks> Zetta is it the only gpu in that machine? i can imagine with dual gpu, without prop drivers, that the cpu goes bonkers
[14:36] <dangermouse> Hi. I'm trying to insert a script in to the boot process with initramfs to modify the LVM volume/physical UUID. I tried a script in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/ but the pvchange command says it can't find /dev/sda5 ("/dev/sda5: Couldn't find device.  Check your filters"). Where can I insert a script so that it runs after sda5 exists but before LVM makes it active/in use.
[14:36] <xieyi> I am using kde program under ubuntu. I know how to set the language of ubuntu program to Chinese. But it doesnt make changes to kde program
[14:36] <xieyi> How do I change the menu language of KDE program under ubuntu
[14:37] <xieyi> Can I change the kde program language with control panel of ubuntu
[14:37] <Zetta> Wow, I checked and there seems to be a lot of problems with flash in Xubuntu.
[14:38] <badbodh> Zetta, run "lspci -k|grep Display" and share output here
[14:38] <badbodh> on pastebin if too many lines
[14:38] <badbodh> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[14:38] <Zetta> OerHeks, Yes it is.
[14:39] <daftykins> if you look for bad press relating to flash, it won't be hard to find it...
[14:39] <badbodh> Segfault_, trying to add ppa ?
[14:40] <Zetta> badbodh, Actually it has no effect. However no error messages shows up.
[14:40] <opsman> I have no problems with flash..Xubuntu-vivid
[14:40] <Segfault_> badbodh: Yes, but it's a bit more complicated than "add-apt-repository" :P The servers do not have access to the internet. Packages are made available to them through a local server that is running apt-cacher-ng
[14:40] <badbodh> Zetta, lspci shows everything on your mobo. includes your gpu, sound card, network wifi etc
[14:41] <Zetta> badbodh, I tried just "lspci" and it worked.
[14:41] <Segfault_> a few of the packages come from third party repositories, so I'm trying to distribute the proper keys
[14:41] <camag27> Hi there, I
[14:41] <ioria> Zetta, lspci -k | grep VGA
[14:42] <Zetta> http://pastie.org/10493130
[14:42] <badbodh> Segfault_, control center> software sources > second last tab > import keys
[14:42] <camag27> I'm having a problem formatting a SD card; it gives me the error: Error sync. after initial wipe : Timed out waiting for object (udisk-error-quark, 0)
[14:42] <badbodh> named 'authentication'
[14:42] <Zetta> badbodh,  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[14:44] <badbodh> Zetta, yours is newer hardware :) disable flash. should be fine. cpu will still be used though, around 50-60% when playing videos on html5. but won;t overheat.
[14:44] <wad> So I can ask my phone "Okay, Google, what is seventeen times nine?" And I can ask my PC, when booted to Windows 10, "Hey Cortana, what is five times five?" (I don't trust MicroSoft on harder problems). But my PC is usually booted to Ubuntu. Any rumors about a similar voice-activated feature for my favorite OS?
[14:44] <Zetta> badbodh, Understood. Thanks.
[14:44] <daftykins> wad: no and that's off topic -> #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:45] <HackerII> wad, they are working on it right now, testing statges.
[14:45] <badbodh> camag27, install gparted and use it to remove your sd card's partitions. create a new partition and format it.
[14:46] <badbodh> i find gnome-disk-utility a bit obtuse
[14:46] <Zetta> Just disable it in firefox, right?
[14:46] <badbodh> "Error sync. after initial wipe" indicates you didn;t wait long enough to let the formatting complete
[14:46] <Zetta> Or should I input any command on the Terminal?
[14:46] <badbodh> Zetta, firefox > plugins > never active
[14:47] <Zetta> Did it then.
[14:47] <badbodh> play videos now
[14:47] <badbodh> Zetta, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ <-- play this and test
[14:48] <badbodh> will run on html5 player
[14:48] <wad> HackerII, thanks! Glad there is some movement. :-D
[14:48] <wad> HackerII, do you happen to know what the project is called, so I can search for it?
[14:49] <Zetta> Coretemp is 63º
[14:49] <Segfault_> badbodh: Um.. These are servers, there is no control center here. I need an automated way to distribute some gpg keys to approximately 400 different servers, doing it manually is not an option
[14:49] <Zetta> It runs normal.
[14:49] <Zetta> However I must notice Adobe Flash was not listed on my plugins
[14:51] <badbodh> Segfault_, then use "apt-key add /path/to/your/key-file"
[14:52] <nelozz> hey fr?
[14:52] <badbodh> btw ubuntu-server has a separate channel. this one's primarily meant for desktop users.
[14:52] <Zetta> This website made my temperature go up to 80º omg http://downloads.tomsguide.com/Epiphany,0305-1192.html
[14:53] <Zetta> Plays video okay, but then enters site and sh*t starts spinning. lol
[14:53] <syntroPi> Zetta, even Mozilla seems not to trust their NPAPI architecture anymore since adobe flash is full of security breaching bugs. maybe the chrome(ium) PPAPI is a bit more secure on linux (sandboxed).
[14:53] <badbodh> !language | Zetta
[14:54] <badbodh> *** won;t do :)
[14:54] <Zetta> Oh, sorry. :D
[14:54] <badbodh> tomsguide appears to be a heavy website. install midori and see. "sudo apt-get install midori"
[14:55] <badbodh> if midori lags too, then website's fault
[14:55] <Zetta> I hope it's just the browser.
[14:55] <badbodh> lots of images and fancy styling
[14:56] <syntroPi> badbodh, is midori more stable nowerdays? i remember it to be quite a nice broswer but when one tab crashes it pulled down the whole broswer some time ago...
[14:56] <badbodh> syntroPi, midori is new, but catching up. it's a good lightweight alternative browser.
[14:57] <badbodh> Zetta, you may also try palemoon. it's a firewfox clone but sticks to older UI.
[14:58] <syntroPi> badbodh, yes i tried it some time ago and liked it, but they didnt implement one process per tab (or such) then. i faced often myself cursing because the whole thing went down with all tabs. i tried the gtk2 and gtk3 variants
[14:59] <badbodh> for multiprocess use aurora. do note that it's unstable.
[14:59] <syntroPi> badbodh, do you know of a lightweight alternative which does some sandboxing and tab isolation?
[15:00] <Zetta> I guess I'll try downloading a different version of Linux. :\
[15:00] <badbodh> erm, lightweight and tab-isolation are kinda see-saw thing.
[15:00] <badbodh> Zetta, all distros are same inside. you won;t find relief unless you figure out what's the issue.
[15:00] <ioria> !info uzbl
[15:00] <Zetta> badbodh, Oh damn.
[15:01] <badbodh> also try firefox's channel and forum
[15:01] <syntroPi> Zetta, despite being written by google i made very good experience with chromium browser
[15:01] <Zetta> syntroPi, I'll get it a try then.
[15:02] <ioria> yes ... 230 MB of software
[15:02] <Zetta> Problem is that there is much unjustified heat.
[15:02] <vdorut> #georchestra
[15:02] <Zetta> And it's not hardware since it doesn't happen with Windows 7.
[15:02] <syntroPi> Zetta, which graphics card does your system use?
[15:02] <Zetta> It's curious because things run smoother here.
[15:02] <PanV> Hello.
[15:02] <badbodh> Zetta, best you can do is try different web browsers and check which one runs nice on your hardware
[15:03] <Zetta> Hey PanV
[15:03] <badbodh> then you sync it with an account and use it on all platforms
[15:03] <PanV> IsLet m just send the ask ubuntu link real quick
[15:04] <Zetta> syntroPi, The Intel Integrated Graphics. Onboard.
[15:05] <PanV> Geez, appereantly didnt post the askubuntu post. Anyways.. Does anybody know how to fix stuff with a LiveUSB?
[15:05] <auronandace> PanV: define stuff
[15:06] <SopaXT> 15.04, gnome terminal not working, just hangs the console if launched
[15:06] <nicomachus> PanV: what kinda stuff?
[15:06] <PanV> Ok.
[15:06] <PanV> Give me 5 minutes to write it.
[15:06] <syntroPi> Zetta, ok thats a good one, intel provides open source drivers. do you know which generation you use (i.e. which exact graphics core)?
[15:06] <lotuspsychje> SopaXT: any errors when you launch gnome-terminal from another terminal
[15:07] <Zetta> Could it be a driver problem perhaps? I've updated it but still.
[15:07] <Zetta> How can I check it, syntroPi ?
[15:08] <nicomachus> I'm getting an error trying to transfer a medium-sized file with rsync. Output says "Corrupted MAC on input. Disconnecting: Packet corrupt". Not sure if it's a hardware issue on the source end, or maybe something I could fix by disabling TCP offset checksums. Anyone have some experience with it?
[15:08] <PanV> I placed an Audio CD for my sister (irrevelant), and switched users. When I got into my sister's account screen went black for 15 seconds, then it went white for 20 seconds. When it got me in, weird stuff happened, like the icons on top of this Unity bar thingy? They were textureless. And background was white, while it shouldn't be white. Because I was scared, I hard-rebooted and I got into my account. A Black screen and on bottom right
[15:08] <daftykins> syntroPi Zetta - no don't attempt to install anything for intel drivers, if your install is up to date you already have the best situation.
[15:08] <PanV> notifications blinking a bit, glitching, and that WiFi notification was glitching too. So I hard-rebooted again since I didnt have  a choice
[15:08] <SopaXT> lotuspsychje, nope
[15:08] <nicomachus> full output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12861750/
[15:09] <Zetta> I see.
[15:09] <SopaXT> it just does not display a window/neither it produces any output
[15:09] <PanV> Then it got me into grub rescue. I reinstalled GRUB with #ubuntu's irc help. I booted into Ubuntu then it got me into the same black screen
[15:09] <lotuspsychje> SopaXT: so it starts allright but just hangs?
[15:09] <PanV> So I rebooted at the LivsUSB.
[15:09] <lotuspsychje> SopaXT: can you install something like terminator?
[15:09] <SopaXT> XTerm works
[15:10] <PanV> So, what am I supposed to do now? Ubuntu seems broken, perhaps all packets need a re-install. Unity could have broken.
[15:10] <lotuspsychje> SopaXT: see if you can purge gnome-terminal and reinstall maybe?
[15:10] <syntroPi> daftykins, ok so the latest ubuntu kernels already include those from https://01.org/ ?
[15:10] <SopaXT> when I try to gdb it -> "file format not recognized"
[15:11] <daftykins> syntroPi: they're already fine yeah, best never to instruct anyone to install from that site, they'll only have a broken setup that's a mess to clean up after :)
[15:11] <syntroPi> Zetta, you can find out which gfx card you use in a terminal with "lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12"
[15:11] <syntroPi> daftykins, well ok then
[15:11] <PanV> Who was the guy that was helping me today..... and where is eric..
[15:12] <lotuspsychje> PanV: Eric might went to sleep, he might be back tomorrow
[15:12] <daftykins> PanV: sounds like it'd be worth checking your hard disks health to me
[15:12] <spoonman_> hi all
[15:13] <Zetta> syntroPi, http://pastie.org/10493185
[15:13] <PanV> lotuspsychje: I was kinda joking at that one. daftykins: Disk is fine. SMART confirmed.
[15:13] <PanV> I believe hard-reboot is the problem.
[15:13] <daftykins> PanV: i'd rather see it for myself
[15:13] <PanV> daftykins: Can I check it at a liveusb?
[15:13] <daftykins> yes, "sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"
[15:13] <spoonman_> i'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (64-bit) on a Dell Precision 7910.  i've enabled "legacy boot mode" and installed the OS as I usually would, but whenever I restart, I keep getting a "no boot device found" error message.  any ideas?
[15:13] <lotuspsychje> SopaXT: not sure mate i would try reinstall
[15:14] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: singleboot or dualboot?
[15:14] <spoonman_> i'm singlebooting
[15:14] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: fastboot and secreuboot disabled?
[15:14] <lotuspsychje> secureboot
[15:14] <MonkeyDust> spoonman_  did you simply copy the iso, or did you install the live session on your boot device
[15:15] <spoonman_> lotuspsychje: i did not see an option for disable fastboot.  it is set to "Thorough."  i will dbl check secureboot disabled
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: bot must be disabled for singleboot
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> both
[15:15] <spoonman_> MonkeyDust: i burned an iso, and installed instead of "Try Ubuntu before Installing"
[15:15] <daftykins> GRUB could've gone to the wrong disk
[15:15] <SopaXT> wow!
[15:15] <SopaXT> /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.real FAILS!
[15:15] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: some bios have also deep hidden settings to block installing another Os
[15:15] <genii> spoonman_: According to http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19613159 this happens if you install to a drive connected to the SAS controller
[15:16] <SopaXT> -> I have inconsistent locale settings
[15:16] <spoonman_> genii: i saw that, but couldn't follow what they were saying
[15:17] <syntroPi> Zetta that seems to be an Arrandale first generation "HD Graphics" one. i guess you should be fine with noremal ubuntu kernel drivers then
[15:17] <PanV> spoonman_: If you are like me, you can't read tutorials.. and will probably come often to this channel.
[15:17] <spoonman_> yeah
[15:18] <genii> spoonman_: GRUB doesn't know what device driver to use for the SAS controller so it fails. Hook the drive you want to install onto into a different port
[15:18] <syntroPi> daftykins, do you know if arrandale already uses vaapi?
[15:18] <spoonman_> oh ok, i will try that
[15:18] <PanV> Does ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair fix GRUB only stuff or does stuff like dpkg?
[15:18] <spoonman_> gonna open it up now
[15:18] <daftykins> PanV: it won't help you.
[15:18] <daftykins> syntroPi: nope sorry
[15:19] <PanV> daftykins: I forgot  how to Chroot with a liveusb at my Ubuntu. I even made an article but... Dunno where is it. Do you remember the commands?
[15:19] <daftykins> !chroot
[15:19] <andybrine> Hi there everyone
[15:20] <daftykins> PanV: are you actually going to run the commands i mentioned today, or shall i leave?
[15:20] <steelbrain> Hey peeps! I am trying to get bumblebee working again after years of unsuccessful tries.
[15:20] <steelbrain> I have installed and configured most of it
[15:20] <steelbrain> but I can't get the nvidia module to not load on start.
[15:20] <PanV> daftykins: Wait, what commands?
[15:20] <daftykins> steelbrain: waste of time, it got replaced by nvidia-prime years ago.
[15:20] <steelbrain> I am using Ubuntu 14.04
[15:20] <steelbrain> daftykins: Nvidia-prime doesn't let me switch on fly
[15:21] <steelbrain> I have a laptop that lives only 2 hours on nvidia
[15:21] <daftykins> 16:13 < PanV> daftykins: Can I check it at a liveusb?
[15:21] <daftykins> 16:13 < daftykins> yes, "sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"
[15:21] <steelbrain> and at least 4 on intel
[15:21] <syntroPi> Zetta, i never owned one of those intel graphics but you might want to read up on hw video accelleration (vaapi). "vainfo" could tell you some specs of your driver stack
[15:21] <daftykins> steelbrain: right, well bumblebee i'm pretty much sure is deprecated so gl with that
[15:21] <spoonman_> hmm, genii i don't see anything plugged into either SAS port
[15:21] <PanV> daftykins: , wait, I dont get it. What did I ask?
[15:21] <spoonman_> they are both SATA
[15:21] <steelbrain> daftykins: Is there no way to get the windows-like switching then? :(
[15:21] <daftykins> PanV: i want to see the hard disk SMART status first-hand, so run the above from the live session ¬_¬
[15:22] <daftykins> steelbrain: unlikely.
[15:22] <PanV> What postfix configuration should I choose?
[15:22] <daftykins> defaults.
[15:22] <daftykins> just hit enter :)
[15:22] <steelbrain> Pretty sad. Okay then. Thanks anyways, now I gotta undo all that
[15:22] <PanV> No configuration or local? I shouldnt move around the menus..
[15:23] <daftykins> none.
[15:23] <PanV> I chose ok.
[15:23] <PanV> System mail name?
[15:23] <daftykins> steelbrain: you should look into prime though, likely it runs as the intel mainly but you can still open a program that'll make use of the nvidia
[15:23] <proycon> Is there no nvidia-xconfig anymore in 15.10 ??
[15:23] <daftykins> PanV: doesn't matter, as i've already said
[15:23] <PanV> I hope I don't get screwed up
[15:24] <spoonman_> genii: is that link talking about disconnecting one of the SATA drives?  nothing is plugged into either SAS port
[15:24] <steelbrain> daftykins: I am not sure if that's possible, because when I change between the GPUs I have to restart to make it work, even a logout doesn't do that
[15:24] <syntroPi> Zetta, you could try something like "sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver vainfo " and then invoke "vainfo" to see which video decoding is accellerated
[15:24] <daftykins> PanV: you're in a live session, nothing you do will even last after reboot :)
[15:24] <PanV> let me copy paste the paste link
[15:24] <PanV> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12862056/
[15:24] <daftykins> steelbrain: that's for permanent switching, just read up and try :)
[15:24] <genii> spoonman_: SAS and SATA use the same plugs, you can't really tell them apart by physically looking at the cables. Just try the other plug
[15:24] <PanV> daftykins: I know, I was just afraid if it af- oh wait I am not mounted
[15:25] <genii> ( if there's only two)
[15:25] <spoonman_> genii: ok.  i can read on the MOBO where they say SATA0 SATA1 (have plugs), SAS0, SAS1 (no plugs)
[15:25] <daftykins> PanV: probably just need to fsck your disk then.
[15:25] <PanV> And by that you mean.. :P
[15:25] <daftykins> i literally mean, fsck.
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> PanV  fsck = file system check
[15:26] <daftykins> so keep the disk unmounted, then "fsck /dev/sdx#" where that's a partition on your system
[15:26] <daftykins> "sudo parted -l" to list them
[15:26] <PanV> Ok
[15:26] <daftykins> you want to check what is your / partition, likely /dev/sda1
[15:27] <daftykins> i'll bbl
[15:27] <PanV> fdisk -l it?
[15:27] <PanV> ?
[15:27] <PanV> oops
[15:28] <PanV> wait a minute.
[15:29] <PanV> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12862122/ My partition is like 100 GB, what is my partition?
[15:29] <auronandace> PanV: sda5
[15:30] <PanV> fsck /dev/sda5/?
[15:30] <Johne> can someone tell me how to find all files with a leading whitespace? google is failing me.
[15:32] <spoonman_> lotuspsychje: i cannot disable fastboot on this thing.  it only has "minimal," "thorough," and "auto" for options
[15:33] <PanV> That's the command? fsck /dev/sda5/
[15:33] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: something must be still blocking in bios mate, its the symptons of a fastboot enabled i think
[15:34] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: maybe the ##hardware guys might know wich to disable
[15:34] <spoonman_> cool, thanks
[15:34] <spoonman_> genii: in the bios, SAS RAID controller is also "Disabled"
[15:34] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: if you find a pdf manual for your mobo, i wan take a look for you
[15:35] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | spoonman_ you might find usefull info here aswell
[15:35] <spoonman_> luckily, i disabled the UEFI stuff and am legacy booting  :)
[15:36] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: it mentions fastboot also
[15:36] <maddawg2> oops i messed up lol
[15:36] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: some system have also an intel thing to block new Os install, i keep forgetting its name
[15:37] <maddawg2> i accidentally did this:  sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/community/xUbuntu_15.04/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list"
[15:37] <maddawg2> but i dont know how to reverse it
[15:37] <maddawg2> i added the wrong version
[15:37] <spoonman_> interesting
[15:37] <maddawg2> what is the proper way to reverse the above command
[15:37] <maddawg2> can i just delete /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list?
[15:39] <k1l_> maddawg2: yes
[15:39] <maddawg2> k1l_, thanks
[15:39] <k1l_> maddawg2: and be more careful in the future with commands that need sudo rights :)
[15:39] <maddawg2> lol thanks ;-P
[15:39] <maddawg2> i know
[15:39] <maddawg2> just grabbed the wrong version
[15:39] <maddawg2> mesant to get 14.04
[15:40] <k1l_> maddawg2: well stop
[15:40] <Kai_> please could someone pastebin the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf files
[15:40] <Kai_> http://paste.ubuntu.com
[15:40] <k1l_> maddawg2: open that with nano "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list" and then change the 15.04 to a 14.04.then ctrl+o, ctrl+x to safe
[15:42] <lotuspsychje> Kai_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12862277/
[15:42] <Kai_> thanks lotuspsychje
[15:42] <maddawg2> thanks k1l_ i actually ended up deleting owncloud.list and readded the correct one
[15:43] <PanV> That's it, I will simply blow up my PC!
[15:47] <spoonman_> genii: starting over; setting it to UEFI, enabling secureboot, etc.
[15:47] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: whats your motherboard type please
[15:47] <spoonman_> lemme look
[15:48] <spoonman_> i just got this equipment assigned to me
[15:48] <RubyDZ> Hey daftykins, hope you're still around ... I just got 2 Passes on the memtest ...
[15:49] <daftykins> RubyDZ: and still no sign of anything errors wise huh? (they come up as big red lines so it's not easy to miss)
[15:49] <RubyDZ> daftykins: Nope, no errors
[15:49] <genii> spoonman_: I guess just keep us posted
[15:49] <spoonman_> lotuspsychje: i do not know how to tell :( i'm only in the bios lemme see if i can catch it rolling across the screen
[15:49] <daftykins> RubyDZ: try booting your live session again with nomodeset then
[15:49] <daftykins> !nomodeset
[15:50] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: whats the dell type again
[15:51] <spoonman_> precision tower 7910
[15:55] <RubyDZ> daftykins: not really sure how I should go about following the instructions in that link, I don't have Windows on the laptop I'm trying to reinstall Ubuntu on ....
[15:56] <uupz> hey
[15:56] <daftykins> RubyDZ: i don't know how you got that you'd need windows for anything, "nomodeset" is a parameter you add by booting to the menu then pressing F6 and selecting nomodeset :)
[15:57] <RubyDZ> daftykins: So now I reboot, and open BIOS and press F6?
[15:57] <spoonman_> one thing i don't get is, where do i install the bootloader?  i have /dev/sda1 set to "biosgrub" or i can choose /dev/sda
[15:57] <RubyDZ> I'm still on the memtest screen BTW
[15:57] <daftykins> RubyDZ: no F6 is on the menu when you boot ubuntu from your flash drive or DVD
[15:58] <RubyDZ> daftykins: So from the Installer Boot Menu, right? Just before it freezes on me
[15:58] <daftykins> RubyDZ: you see a little logo at the bottom, press a key and it gives you a language menu - then you will be offered to press F6 for advanced options
[15:58] <daftykins> yep
[15:58] <daftykins> spoonman_: main /dev/sda should be fine
[15:58] <RubyDZ> daftykins: K will try now
[15:59] <bos_gpc> foo
[15:59] <daftykins> bar?
[15:59] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: can you check intel active management in bios
[16:00] <spoonman_> lotuspsychje: sure one sec
[16:00] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: http://binar.pl/p/precision-t7910/precision-t7910-owner_manual_en-us.pdf
[16:01] <PanV> daftykins: Are you here?
[16:01] <DrDamnit> I just fat fingered a monumental fubar moment: I chown'd /var/ to www-data. Since I am setting up Ubuntu 12 LTS, and it's not in production, I have two options... go through and re-assign ownship and permissions or reinstall. What's the better option? (I already have 4 hours of work into this thing).
[16:02] <daftykins> PanV: yes.
[16:02] <spoonman_> perfect
[16:02] <k1l_> PanV: just ask a detailed question and others can see if they can help
[16:02] <spoonman_> thanks lotuspsychje - am checking that in bios now
[16:02] <daftykins> DrDamnit: start again
[16:02] <PanV> So.. What command should I do now after knowing that my partition is /dev/sda5/?
[16:03] <DrDamnit> daftykins, yeah... I was hoping someone had a github script to un-fuck this, but that's what I figured I would have to do.
[16:03] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: play with some settings till you can install ubuntu
[16:03] <RubyDZ> daftykins: Didn't get it the way you said, but I went to Help on the Installer Boot Menu, and when I press F6 it says: This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU
[16:03] <PanV> DrDamnit: Language.
[16:03] <RubyDZ> daftykins: I'm guessing I've downloaded the wrong version of Ubuntu? I got the 64-bit one ... I should've gotten 32-bit, right?
[16:03] <daftykins> RubyDZ: ah so it's that your system is too old for 64-bit :) you will need to download the 32-bit version and try again
[16:03] <Guest49209> Hey guys I wanted to ask, is Ubunto Mate a good distro for a noobie ?
[16:03] <DrDamnit> Apologies. Couldn't think of a G-rated version of what I did.
[16:04] <DrDamnit> thanks everyone. Off to re-install.
[16:04] <daftykins> RubyDZ: however, 15.10 will be out in a few days, so if you have 15.04 there you might want to just wait / grab the 15.10 media
[16:04] <daftykins> Guest49209: sure
[16:04] <PanV> brb
[16:05] <RubyDZ> daftykins: Hmmm. How many days is that? 'Cause I right now want to have Ubuntu on this old netbook to have a backup for if my Windows 10 upgrade backfires on my day-to-day usage laptop ...
[16:05] <spoonman_> thanks for the help, lotuspsychje
[16:05] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: np, hope it helps
[16:06] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: try fastboot:minimal uefi:disabled and atm disabled
[16:06] <spoonman_> lotuspsychje: what's atm
[16:06] <Guest49209> Thanks for the response, and to what distro should I go for further experience ?
[16:07] <lotuspsychje> spoonman_: that intel active management
[16:07] <spoonman_> i couldn't find that in the bios manual.  wonder if it's not installed
[16:07] <daftykins> RubyDZ: well you could install it from a disc today then update to final when it goes final before the end of the month - i think on an old netbook you'll want to pick lubuntu though, not standard ubuntu
[16:08] <RubyDZ> daftykins: I had Ubuntu on it earlier, why should I pick lubuntu and what's the difference
[16:08] <daftykins> lubuntu is lighter and will run with less resources
[16:08] <RubyDZ> daftykins: K thanks
[16:08] <daftykins> so it'll be easier to deal with on a horrid netbook that is fit for burial at sea :)
[16:09] <RubyDZ> It's not a horrid netbook xD It's a 2010/2011 model and perfectly fine except needs a battery and charger replacement xD
[16:09] <daftykins> all netbooks were horrid on their day of creation :)
[16:10] <RubyDZ> daftykins: Haha yeah I guess so
[16:15] <hamza_> hi, anyway i can disable ubuntu's unity-screen-panel from controling my resolution? it seems to add offset whenever it finds two display with different sizes, i.e it applies this resolution to a 28" monitor to make it "seamless" with my old 26": 1920x1080+0+41
[16:15] <RubyDZ> Guys, I came across something called MacBuntu, anyone have an idea what that is? Seems to be a mix of hackintosh/linux?
[16:16] <compdoc> doesnt sound official
[16:17] <daftykins> RubyDZ: probably just an ubuntu with a skin or theme to make it look like a mac
[16:17] <daftykins> can't think of anything worse :)
[16:17] <baizon> RubyDZ: it is what it sounds like
[16:17] <hamza_> display with unusual resolutions cannot be manipulated with xrandr
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> RubyDZ  macbuntu is not supported here
[16:17] <baizon> RubyDZ: elementary os is much better then this to be honest
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> RubyDZ  baizon but elementaty is also not supported here
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> elementary*
[16:18] <RubyDZ> baizon MonkeyDust K, I just was asking, out of curiosity. I think I'm sticking with Ubuntu
[16:19] <RubyDZ> MonkeyDust what about lubuntu is that also not supported here?
[16:21] <MonkeyDust> RubyDZ  well... LXDE is simply a different DE
[16:21] <fabio_> Hello fellows! I need a little help. I want to run a script after the wifi has been connected to a network. How can i accomplish that? I'm running 14.04 LTS
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> fabio_  scripting is more for #bash
[16:23] <genii> fabio_: You could do a post-up directive in /etc/network/interfaces for the wlan0 ( or other applicable device)
[16:23] <qstrahl> Hey I'm noticing something is overwriting my .Xresources settings each login, trying to pinpoint where it's coming from... thought I found the relevant settings in dconf-editor but they still seem to be wrong when I log in, even after I changed them.
[16:24] <qstrahl> The relevant settings are the xft* settings in com.canonical.unity-greeter (I think)
[16:24] <fabio_> genii, hi. that could be a good solution yes
[16:24] <ioria> fabio_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/13963/call-script-after-connecting-to-a-wireless-network
[16:24] <qstrahl> If anyone could offer some insight on the matter I'd repay them in most valuable appreciation :P
[16:25] <RubyDZ> daftykins: just a Q about lubuntu, my understanding is that since it requires fewer resources, that will mean my netbook will run faster than usual, right? Also, is Google Chrome supported?
