[00:01] <gartral> fixed it
[00:02] <morning_star> herro
[00:03] <NewUbuntu> new to ubuntu 14.04. Installed Sublime Text, apache, php. Any tutorial to help me get started?
[00:04] <NewUbuntu> Right now I think I need to change groups/permissions to var/www/html but I'm probably doing it in the worst practices way
[00:04] <morning_star> archwiki has a good lamp server tutorial you may be able to follow
[00:04] <morning_star> if it helps
[00:04] <NewUbuntu> morning_star: that sounds wonderful
[00:05] <loa> is there way to do case insesitive copy? i need add some files to my wine bottle and need such feature.
[00:07] <reisio> loa: need why?
[00:08] <loa> reisio, i run skyrim under wine, and need for example add folder "Meshes", but there already is "meshes". I tried ciopfs, but looks like it performs very bad.
[00:09] <reisio> loa: why do you need to add 'Meshes'?
[00:10] <morning_star> borderlands2 got realesed for linux yesterday ... speaking of gaming in linux .... ahhh it made mah day
[00:10] <morning_star> or a couple days ago i mean
[00:10] <Wulframn> Borderlands 2 is one of my all time favorite games.
[00:11] <morning_star> yea i have been having some fun playin it
[00:11] <loa> reisio, trying to innstall mod
[00:11] <monkeypatch> How can I find out if someone is trying to hurt my traffic by hitting the server so much that it makes it difficult to connect?
[00:12] <reisio> loa: that doesn't answer my question
[00:12] <Wulframn> monkeypatch: are you asking us how to detect a DDoS attack?
[00:12] <monkeypatch> yes please
[00:12] <monkeypatch> is that what it is DDos?
[00:12] <reisio> monkeypatch: look into fail2ban, but
[00:12] <reisio> there isn't a lot you can do against them
[00:12] <loa> reisio, becouse author of mode called it as "Meshes"
[00:12] <reisio> besides save yourself bandwidth costs
[00:13] <kul> hi
[00:13] <monkeypatch> ahh yes Ive seen it before, used it on an apache webserver but found it more difficult on nginx
[00:13] <reisio> kul: hi
[00:13] <loa> reisio, now it is ok?
[00:13] <kul> im setting up a ubuntu server for a website
[00:13] <reisio> loa: ln -s meshes Meshes
[00:13] <Wulframn> DDoS is a denial of service attack.  There isn't much you can do about it.
[00:13] <kul> ive installed the ftp thing in the server and installed the filezilla on my windows 7 computer
[00:13] <kul> im using a virtual box to run the ubuntu server
[00:14] <monkeypatch> thats F'd up!
[00:14] <kul> when i try to delete the index.html in filezilla it says permission denied
[00:14] <reisio> you can keep your host from eating up bandwidth & cycles while it's happening, but almost any script kiddie can keep one going for a long long while
[00:14] <monkeypatch> everytime I get to the number 1 spot on google I notice this happening to my site
[00:14] <kul> help
[00:14] <reisio> monkeypatch: then you just need a better host
[00:14] <Wulframn> monkeypatch: the attack requires a sustained effort. It'll stop as soon as they get bored.
[00:14] <morning_star> google is bad go ddg
[00:15] <morning_star> :)
[00:15] <daftykins> kul: you need to go and learn more by researching online, if you just get handed the answers you won't know how to manage it
[00:15] <daftykins> kul: also #ubuntu-server
[00:15] <Wulframn> daftykins: +1
[00:15] <monkeypatch> I'm getting 4seconds+ here where Im at Im almost certain it isnt my internet, can someone tell me what they get https://www.bunniesoflasvegas.com   !!NSFW site
[00:15] <kul> ok thanks
[00:16] <morning_star> kul that means the action requires root access ... that is a good place to start researching your issue
[00:16] <Wulframn> monkeypatch: this is a family friendly room. please don't post that kind of stuff again.
[00:16] <monkeypatch> family friendly room?
[00:16] <morning_star> kul or change permissions .. but both ways i would start looking at linux permission
[00:16] <monkeypatch> there's no nudity on that page
[00:17] <monkeypatch> and I said NSFW
[00:17] <monkeypatch> there's nothing in the channels terms that says not to post a link like that
[00:17] <Wulframn> monkeypatch: The point continues to stand. We do occasionally get kids in here.
[00:17] <monkeypatch> if I was spamming that would be different
[00:17] <monkeypatch> ok
[00:18] <Wulframn> I'm not warning you. I'm just trying to keep you from getting muted or kicked.
[00:18] <monkeypatch> no I understand
[00:18] <monkeypatch> I have kids
[00:19] <Wulframn> monkeypatch: I'm getting no serious delay to that site.
[00:19] <monkeypatch> ok thanks Wulframn
[00:19] <Douglas> hello people.. what are the advantages of Mint over Ubuntu?
[00:20] <xangua> !mint | ask mint people Douglas
[00:20] <Wulframn> Douglas: this is an ubuntu support room. Your question would fare better in a mint room or possibly the Linux room.
[00:20] <Douglas> ok.. sorry about this
[00:24] <kul> i was just here asking aboutr ubuntu server
[00:24] <morning_star> wb kul
[00:24] <kul> and i was told to go to #ubuntu-server
[00:24] <dw1> how can I stop gvfs-metadata from going out of control all the time
[00:24] <daftykins> correct
[00:24] <kul> the channel doesnt work
[00:24] <daftykins> define doesn't work?
[00:25] <kul> so can i ask a question here
[00:25] <Wulframn> dw1: a sharp smack on the behind
[00:25] <dw1> rm -rf ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/; pkill gvfsd-metadata seems to help but its annoying to have to do periodically
[00:25] <kul> #ubuntu-server doesnt work
[00:25] <kul> i clicked it and it didnt load
[00:25] <daftykins> kul: type "/join #ubuntu-server" without the quotes
[00:26] <nevermoreraven> what is a tool to test fps?
[00:31] <morning_star> i gotta admit after struggling to put arch on the mac i was slightly happy and slightly sad that ubuntu was so easy to install on the old macbook
[00:34] <daftykins> nevermoreraven: glxgears
[00:34] <askhader> What is the name of the stdlib ssl module on ubuntu
[00:35] <nevermoreraven> is 60 fps good? daftykins
[00:35] <daftykins> nevermoreraven: you'll need to disable vsync
[00:35] <nevermoreraven> how do I do that?
[00:36] <nevermoreraven> why do I need to disable vsync?
[00:36] <daftykins> because it's locking your framerate to 60fps
[00:36] <daftykins> what graphics card type are you using?
[00:36] <daftykins> and driver?
[00:37] <nevermoreraven> I am using intel on board graphics on laptop daftykins
[00:37] <daftykins> nevermoreraven: ah no idea then, i'd just be googling to try and find out how
[00:39] <Akiva-Thinkpad> hey I want to create a startup disk on my usb drive that focusses on stability.
[00:39] <Akiva-Thinkpad> fat32 hasnt been so stable
[00:39] <Akiva-Thinkpad> I don't need to mount it on windows
[00:39] <Akiva-Thinkpad> is btrfs or ext4 better for this usb disk?
[00:43] <nevermoreraven> how do I just list my graphics card with lshw?
[00:44] <Bashing-om> nevermoreraven: sudo lshw -C display .. is one way.
[00:45] <askhader> How do I install python2.7.9 via apt-get ?
[00:46] <somsip> askhader: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[00:48] <askhader> somsip: 14.04 trusty
[00:48] <somsip> !python trusty
[00:48] <somsip> !info python trusty
[00:49] <somsip> askhader: so that's the official version. If you want to install something else you'd need to use a PPA, possibly deadsnakes supports 2.7.9. You'd have to check
[00:49] <somsip> !ppa | askhader
[00:50] <askhader> somsip: Alright thanks.
[00:55] <Bolt_Thrower138> ahoy
[00:56] <guestuser> exit
[01:10] <nevermoreraven> daftykins, is this right after I disable vsync... 1791.749 FPS?
[01:10] <daftykins> nevermoreraven: if it's consistent yeah
[01:19] <knosys> Hello guys, do you know is there is a problem also in 14.04 version, with the wxWidgets repositories ? Something about they get installed on an unspected path, so compilers won't find it?
[01:19] <knosys> if there is a problem*
[01:20] <knosys> well, maybe its not of the ubuntu version, problem would be of the packages itself, and they are not in the truted repositories so...
[01:20] <knosys> does someone use wxWidgets library here?
[01:29] <qanadin> Has anybody attempted to install iredmail on a VPS server?  I am struggling to get it to work properly

[01:53] <^barry^> anyone know how i can connect my ubuntu desktop to my ubuntu touch wirelessly or through my network?
[01:54] <Akiva-Thinkpad> ^barry^, #ubuntu-touch
[01:54] <Akiva-Thinkpad> :)
[01:56] <delac> upgraded 12.04->14.04. grub offers only kernels 3.2.0-x, while i do have 3.13.0-x installed. cant remove the older, nor does update-grub do anything. ideas?
[01:58] <^barry^> Akiva-Thinkpad: thanks...
[01:59] <Akiva-Thinkpad> ^barry^, I'd give you a better answer but your name is too annoying to ping
[01:59] <Akiva-Thinkpad> :p
[02:00] <cuddylier> Anyone know the command on system rescue CD to just list the available drives?
[02:01] <somsip> cuddylier: sudo fdisk -l
[02:01] <Bashing-om> delac: Not yet any real idea, but what are the symlinks -> ls -al / , ls -al /boot <- ?? What kernels are in /boot/grub ?
[02:01] <cuddylier> somsip: Thanks
[02:08] <delac> Bashing-om: no kernels in /boot/grub (i wonder if i understood this correctly?)
[02:08] <delac> Bashing-om: symlink vmlinuz points to newer version
[02:09] <delac> vmlinuz.old to older 3.2 version
[02:09] <delac> same goes for initrd.img
[02:09] <NewUbuntu> if I install Ubuntu Server Edition onto an old PC, can I run it without a monitor?
[02:09] <delac> Bashing-om: no symlinks in /boot
[02:11] <Ser1alPois0n> NewUbuntu, yes you can as long as you set up SSH correctly first.
[02:11] <NewUbuntu> If the computer shuts down, and turns back on, how could I discover its IP?
[02:11] <Ser1alPois0n> Nmap?
[02:11] <NewUbuntu> Ok, just making sure I'm imagining a viable solution.
[02:12] <NewUbuntu> thanks
[02:12] <Ser1alPois0n> Assuming your router's ip is <IP_ADDRESS> you could do something like nmap <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -p 22 and see what has port 22 (ssh) open
[02:12] <Bashing-om> delac: I had my wires crossed - no kernels should be in /boot/grub ... (think'n to deep ) ..fo the symlonks (vmlinuz and imitrd.img) in '/'  point to existing files in /boot ?
[02:13] <NewUbuntu> Ser1alPois0n: Thank you so much for the direction
[02:14] <Bashing-om> delac: do the symlinks *
[02:15] <SchrodingersScat> NewUbuntu: sometimes you can find it on the local network using the hostname with .local added at the end.  so if you named it 'NewUbuntu-server' you could try ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:15] <delac> Bashing-om: yes, they are in /boot
[02:15] <SchrodingersScat> NewUbuntu: oops, i mean ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>in that example.
[02:16] <delac> Bashing-om:  do the symlinks * ? I dont get this one.
[02:16] <Bashing-om> delac: OK, what results from terminal command -> sudo update-grub <- ?
[02:16] <delac> Bashing-om: it only tells me that it made the configuration for grub. nothing else
[02:17] <NewUbuntu> SchrodingersScat: Thanks
[02:17] <Bashing-om> delac: correcting my fat fingering " do the symlinks" from prior entry .
[02:18] <delac> Bashing-om: still no idea what you want about the symlinks :)
[02:18] <brandon1> 3
[02:19] <brandon1> exit
[02:19] <NewUbuntu> samba is mostly for printing (as in paper) ?
[02:19] <Bashing-om> delac: Surprising ! show us ! -> sudo apt-get install pastebinit , sudo update-grub | pastebinit <- amd pass back the resulting URL .
[02:21] <Bashing-om> delac: Looking at the symlinks to insure they do exist, and the files they point to exist.
[02:21] <delac> Bashing-om: they do
[02:21] <delac> and not much to pastebin
[02:21] <delac> only the one line that tells  grub-update made the config file. nothing else
[02:22] <Bashing-om> delac: I had expected several kernels to exist, and the update-grub output to be a repeating process and lengthy .
[02:23] <delac> Bashing-om: no, one line saying: Generating grub configuration file...
[02:23] <delac> then it exits
[02:23] <Ser1alPois0n> I need a good VPN. Can anyone help me out?
[02:24] <rww> !ot
[02:24] <delac> Bashing-om: there is likely something wrong with grup-pc. it gave errors while upgrading
[02:25] <yOweLL> oque ta tendo?
[02:25] <delac> Bashing-om: so did tex-common. might be related somehow
[02:25] <cfhowlett> !es | y0well
[02:27] <Bashing-om> delac: What returns -> ls - al /vmlinuz ? .. think'n !
[02:27] <delac> Bashing-om: cant reinstall either. both give: Inernal error, No file name for grup-pc/tex-common:amd64
[02:28] <Bashing-om> delac: We can purge / reinstall grub .. see what results .
[02:28] <delac> Bashing-om: give symlink to the boot/vmlinuz-3.13.
[02:28] <Bashing-om> delac: boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-36-generic ??
[02:30] <delac> yes
[02:34] <Bashing-om> delac: Re-install grub -> sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common , sudo mv /boot/grub /boot/grub_backup , sudo mkdir /boot/grub , sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common , sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda , sudo update-grub . // Where 'sda' is for only a single hard disk in that box !!
[02:34] <delac2> Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/d5cNg8G1
[02:35] <Bashing-om> delac2: I buy that, looks reasonable your /d5cNg8G1 .

[02:40] <mneuro> I am using Ubuntu 14.04, AMD Catalyst and Unity Desktop.  I am not able to alt-tab in fullscreen games.
[02:40] <mneuro> Does anyone know a solution for this
[02:45] <Bashing-om> delac2: sudo fdisk -lu , the '*' in the output line (sda1 ?) .. install to the device not a partition !
[02:47] <UserError> Is there any way to use xserver 1.16 in trusty
[02:49] <delac2> Bashing-om: not at all convinced that this worked as it should have: http://pastebin.com/v4kBjpsA
[02:50] <Bashing-om> delac2: Look'n at http://pastebin.com/v4kBjpsA .
[02:51] <vozz> I'm trying to install ubuntu 14.04 from a usb drive, but it fails at the end of the install with: grub-efi-amd64-signed failed to install into /target/
[02:51] <vozz> What might i be doing wrong?
[02:54] <Bashing-om> delac2: Do not know what is going on with Tex-common. Let's explore a possibility , -> tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | pastebinit <- .
[02:55] <delac2> Bashing-om: actually, tex-common is mentioned in the release notes. mightbe that its not really related to thr grub problem
[02:57] <delac2> Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/DN1YqLHt
[02:58] <Bashing-om> delac2: Yeah, but, "Errors were encountered while processing: -> grub-pc " concerns me a bit . I had expected a different advisory . And this advisory may not have great meaning ( the best I recall ) .
[03:00] <Bashing-om> delac2: Not good .. comment out all those old 'precise' repositories ! .. still looking for where Tex is coming from -> cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit <- .
[03:01] <delac2> Bashing-om: yeah, was wondering them too. they dont even show in the software sources dialog at all (or are commented out there)!
[03:02] <Bashing-om> delac2: Or if the more comfortable disable them from within "software Sources" .
[03:02] <delac2> Bashing-om: well, they are commented there...
[03:03] <Bashing-om> delac2: Humm .. well, I guess need to edit them out manually from text editor .. can do ?
[03:04] <Slinger_> I'm a comlete Linux noob. I'm trying to do something a little different, I've compiled mtools using a sector size of 32768,  I can view the contents of an img created with DD. I want to copy the files out of the img and onto my HDD. every thing I have tried using mcopy has come back as no such directory, can someone help guide me please?
[03:06] <delac2> Bashing-om: oh, actually those "uncommented" ones are not .list files, but backups made by Software Sources, i suspect
[03:06] <Bashing-om> delac2: Going back and look'n again !
[03:08] <Bashing-om> delac2: Agreed, on 2nd look should be no problems there .. ( haste makes waste, slow down and lkook - huh ) .
[03:08] <delac2> :)
[03:08] <Bashing-om> lkook/look*
[03:09] <infinmed> ANd then there was none
[03:09] <infinmed> ANd then there was none
[03:10] <Bashing-om> let's leook at the " /etc/apt/sources.list  " file and make sure there are no problems there, then take the package manager's advise in respect to Tex-common and move those files out of there.
[03:19] <delac> Bashing-om: something caused a hang-up and had to hard boot. now fighting with grub prompt...
[03:20] <Bashing-om> delac: Yuk, OK where did you boot to ?
[03:20] <Bashing-om> delac: Did you get my 22:10 entry ?
[03:23] <Mikaela> Hi, "apt update" is giving me error "E: Method gave invalid 103 Redirect message" always when I run it. I removed everything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and my sources.list is now http://sprunge.us/KIVT .
[03:25] <Mikaela> The full output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/8504564/

[03:28] <pr0ton> hey guys, i've got a ASUS G56K laptop. and i'm having issuse getting the right resolution i want
[03:28] <pr0ton> the default resolution is a bit too high
[03:28] <pr0ton> i want 1600x900, but the Displays doesn't list that as an option
[03:33] <Bashing-om> pr0ton: Might try: http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/use-xrandr-to-set-a-screen-resolution/ .
[03:34] <Mayzie> Hey guys. Ubuntu won't detect my native monitor resolution. What do I do?
[03:36] <cfhowlett> Mayzie, http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/use-xrandr-to-set-a-screen-resolution/
[03:37] <Mayzie> cfhowlett: xrandr is not working.
[03:42] <Mayzie> cfhowlett: The thing is, I can see the initial resolution is correct when LightDM starts (1920x1080). But then after a couple of seconds, LightDM resizes to 1024x768, and I can't get out of that resolution.
[03:42] <Mayzie> And when I go into Screen Display settings, I just get an "Unknown Display" and only two resolutions to choose from, 1024x768 and 800x600.
[03:43] <cfhowlett> mayzie sorry, over my head.  given that description, I wouldn't dare to even guess.
[03:43] <Mayzie> :-/

[03:55] <corvus_> Bad idea or meh? Raid 5 with one disk on a PCIe SATA card
[03:58] <Bashing-om> corvus_: ?? Raid level 5 requires a minimum of 3 disks .
[03:58] <ravious> ^
[03:59] <corvus_> correct
[03:59] <corvus_> in my hypothetical scenario, there would be two directly into the motherboard and the 3rd through a PCIe card
[03:59] <ravious> also if its just a sata card and not a raid controller, you'd just be using software raid.
[03:59] <corvus_> I intend on using software raid
[03:59] <corvus_> with FreeNAS
[04:00] <ravious> zfs might also be something interesting to look into
[04:00] <corvus_> yup
[04:00] <corvus_> I'll be using that too
[04:00] <ravious> nice
[04:00] <corvus_> hence why I went for FreeNAS
[04:00] <sura> it s funy
[04:00] <sura> good
[04:00] <corvus_> maybe to play it safe, I should get a 4 or 3 port PCIe to SATA
[04:01] <corvus_> and throw the whole array on that
[04:01] <corvus_> still software, fo course
[04:01] <sura> so guys where are u
[04:01] <ravious> there are a bunch of inexpensive raid cards now.. i've not played with any so im not sure of their reliability.
[04:01] <corvus_> my issue is I can't find this damn board in Aus E3C226D2I
[04:01] <corvus_> without that, I'm dealing with 4 sata ports
[04:02] <cfhowlett> sura, this is ubuntu support - not social.  ask ubuntu questions.
[04:02] <sura> sorry
[04:03] <corvus_> unless I turn to ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FREE-SHIP-ASRock-E3C226D2I-LGA1150-Intel-C226-DDR3-SATA3-USB3-0-V-2GbE-/190961424301?pt=Motherboards&hash=item2c763017ad

[04:19] <delac2> Bashing-om: i have managed to get rid of the older kernels. but i cant create new grub.cfg
[04:20] <Bashing-om> delac2: still booting to a grub prompt ?
[04:20] <delac2> Bashing-om: havent tested, but i suspect yes, since i dont have grub.cfg
[04:21] <delac2> Bashing-om: i did manage to boot to the desktop by manually defining the kernel and stuff
[04:22] <delac2> Bashing-om: so im running with 3.13. kernel now
[04:22] <Bashing-om> delac2: Try -> sudo grub-mkconfig <- circumventing a script.
[04:24] <delac2> Bashing-om: ok, it did output... stuff. whatnow?
[04:24] <Bashing-om> delac2: When booting manully , are you using the path (hd0,msdos1) ?? To know that we installed grub to the correct place.
[04:25] <delac2> Bashing-om: yes, well simply (hd0,1)
[04:27] <Bashing-om> delac2: I do not recognize that syntax .. maybe good ?? .. any way .. -> ls -la /etc/grub.d | pastebin <- lamme make sure all of grub's config files are present .
[04:28] <Bashing-om> pastebinit !
[04:28] <delac2> Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/ujLUWFAS
[04:34] <Bashing-om> delac2: What is "06_override_debian_theme " that is not default .. maybe the fault lies in that config file ?
[04:36] <delac2> Bashing-om: was jsut going to say :) the grub-mkconfig generated file ends with line that begins that files part
[04:36] <delac2> Bashing-om: definitely seems like theres something there
[04:37] <Bashing-om> delac2: all other files look good .. might chmod -x that file and re-run grub-update, see if that works for us.
[04:41] <delac2> Bashing-om: yes, now update-grub actually did something and i have grub.cfg
[04:41] <delac2> Bashing-om: going to test booting
[04:42] <Bashing-om> delac2: Fingers crossed : )
[04:43] <delac> Bashing-om: ok, booting normally. Thanks!
[04:43] <huqinlou0123> ^_^
[04:43] <delac> Bashing-om: the tex thing is still there, but its reported and likely will get fix soon
[04:44] <Bashing-om> delac: Do you want guidance on cleanup to make sure the upgrade is completed clean ?
[04:44] <huqinlou0123> 有中国人吗
[04:46] <delac> Bashing-om: i think there is something to clean up still - i get a huge pile of "System program problem detected" dialogs. But im going to save them for tomorrow.  Gotta get some sleep :)
[04:46] <cfhowlett> !cn | huqinlou0123
[04:46] <Bashing-om> delac: Same here, I be back on tomorroww evening .
[04:47] <delac> nice
[04:47] <delac> and thank you again!
[04:50] <Bashing-om> delac: NP !  Others showed me the way .. Pass it on .
[05:02] <hipitihop> I have a standard mythbuntu install based on 12.04 single HDD with 2 partitions, 12gb boot EXT3 remainder as extended with swap and the main XFS. I want to shrink the XFS and extended partion so I can give more to the base boot partition, but it seems gparted won't allow me to shrink the XFS is there a way ?

[05:14] <asher1> where i can find for this to fix
[05:14] <asher1> sources list
[05:14] <cfhowlett> asher1, the fix is to upgrade to a supported version.
[05:14] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | asher1
[05:14] <toeshred> also, why isn't ubuntu gnome called gubuntu? it sounds pretty awesome.
[05:14] <toeshred> maybe even goobuntu
[05:17] <NewUbuntu> Where should I go to discuss proxies/ssh?
[05:20] <asher1> ok
[05:20] <asher1> how i updage
[05:20] <asher1> ?

[05:23] <theadmin> toeshred: Err... are the virtualbox kernel modules loaded and all?
[05:24] <asher1> i do everything

[05:27] <cfhowlett> asher1, again.  you have NO SUPPORT for 10.04.  It's DEAD jim.  upgrade to a supported version.
[05:27] <asher1> cfhowlett

[05:28] <asher1> and if you see i paste for you all error

[05:28] <toeshred> theadmin: i haven't but i've never need to in the past, and every other distro/DE works without having done it. i'll give it a try anyway.
[05:28] <cfhowlett> asher1, download 14.04.1 .iso. use startup-disk-creator to make a bootable DVD or USB.  boot the USB or DVD.  install 14.04
[05:29] <naphstor> what is the meaning of FAST TCS CALIBRATION???????????/and how can i fix that problem??????
[05:29] <theadmin> toeshred: Can you PM me? This is getting slightly offtopic
[05:30] <hipitihop> I have a 12.04 build with 3.2.0-69-generic kernel, can someone point me at how to upgrade to more recent e.g. 3.13... kernel ?
[05:30] <Flannel> cfhowlett: Ubuntu 10.04 is not an EOL release insofar as the upgrades.  The server components of 10.04 are still support (NOT EOL), so it's still in the repositories.
[05:30] <cfhowlett> Flannel, on desktop???
[05:30] <naphstor> what is the meaning of FAST TCS CALIBRATION???????????/and how can i fix that problem??????
[05:31] <Flannel> cfhowlett: Do you read?
[05:32] <cfhowlett> Flannel, confusion: if desktop 10.04 is end of life, you can still access repos because server??
[05:32] <Flannel> cfhowlett: Yes, all of the 10.04 packages are still in the regular repositories.
[05:33] <cfhowlett> Flannel, color me thoroughly confused but ... OK!  so a regular apt-get install foo           should work, right?
[05:33] <Flannel> cfhowlett: Correct, that's what "in the repositories" means.
[05:34] <naphstor> what is "adbd"32-comatible legency in use
[05:34] <naphstor> ???
[05:37] <cfhowlett> asher1, I was mistaken.  for a few more days, you should can use the 10.04 repos.  the PPA is a different matter.  you'd have to contact the package maintainer to see if there's an upgrade or if it was rolled into the repos -- and wine IS in the repos.
[05:38] <asher1> :\
[05:38] <asher1> but how i can see desktop
[05:39] <asher1> everything what i do i see error
[05:39] <dustin> asher1, what do you see
[05:45] <welly> Hello all. Having a problem with an ubuntu 14.04.1 install. It's currently working when I boot to the "try ubuntu without installing" mode but I've done a full install and on booting, the keyboard and mouse don't respond
[05:45] <cfhowlett> welly, bluetooth hardware?
[05:45] <welly> I'm guessing that there is an issue with the mouse and keyboard drivers as if I press the power button, i do get the modal window that shows shut down or reboot
[05:45] <welly> cfhowlett: no usb
[05:46] <cfhowlett> welly, hardware or usb related.  change USB ports
[05:46] <welly> I also tried booting into recovery mode. when it got to the recovery mode options screen, same thing - no response
[05:46] <welly> cfhowlett: have tried that too
[05:47] <cfhowlett> welly, sorry, I'm out of suggestions.
[05:47] <cfhowlett> !keyboard
[05:47] <cfhowlett> !mouse
[05:47]  * rww facepalms
[05:47] <welly> haha, yeah likewise. this is a pain.
[05:47] <asher1> dustin
[05:47] <asher1> i see error
[05:47] <asher1> this what i see
[05:47] <welly> incidentally, I did install elementary os and that worked without a hitch
[05:48] <cfhowlett> asher1, you need to paste the errors ... he asked a LONG time ago what the error was ...
[05:48] <asher1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8505126/
[05:48] <welly> and like I say, I'm currently in the live mode, seems to be working fine too
[05:48] <asher1> take
[05:48] <cfhowlett> asher1, right.  what is this PPA for?  because wine is in the repos ...
[05:48] <welly> I may try ubuntu 12 and then do an upgrade
[05:49] <cfhowlett> welly, painful ... might work.
[05:53] <rnx0> Hi, I'm not a new user of Ubuntu. However, I'm having an extremely aggravating problem getting 14.04.1 to properly install on my new mbp 11,3. The Live Distro boots just fine. In some install attempts, after getting to Grub and selecting to boot, the screen simply goes and stays black. In another install attempt, it simply got stuck at a black screen with a blinking cursor (pre-Grub, I assume).
[05:54] <lonix> #bash
[05:54] <cfhowlett> !mac | rnx0,
[05:55] <Guest37578> quitte
[05:55] <rnx0> I've been to that page =), this one <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro11-1/Saucy>, likewise.
[05:56] <cfhowlett> rnx0, ubuntu + mac is always uncertain.  very low % of mac users seem to appear here, so you might be better off posting to the mac forums
[06:01] <dustin> asher1, can you type this and see what it says :  $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:10] <hipitihop> for the benefit of others, I followed this and worked like a charm http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/08/install-upgrade-linux-kernel-3-16/
[06:30] <jmd> The pspp devs have received several bug reports from ubuntu users.  It seems the bug manifests itself only in the "unity interface".  I don't use Ubuntu and have no idea what the "unity interface" is.  Can someone enlighten me?
[06:31] <cfhowlett> jmd, what *buntu do you use?
[06:31] <cfhowlett> jmd, oops.  nevermidn
[06:39] <trung> can anyone help me understand why this pipeline does not work?
[06:39] <trung> inotifywait -s -m my_folder -e moved_to -e close_write | ack cpp | xargs echo
[06:39] <trung> I want to monitor cpp files in my_folder
[06:39] <trung> the xargs echo is just a placeholder for another command
[06:40] <trung> basically it works until ack cpp, but whatever the third command is it always fail
[06:41] <rwp> What does ack do? Haven't heard of that command before.
[06:41] <trung> ack-grep
[06:41] <trung> same as grep
[06:41] <trung> I also tried "awk '{print $3}'" to get the file name
[06:42] <trung> it works but the 3rd command will not read from the output of awk
[06:42] <EriC^^> trung: type which ack please
[06:43] <trung> ack-grep
[06:43] <rwp> Is it possible that it is all working for you but that the output is being buffered and therefore you just aren't seeing enough through put to get through the buffering?
[06:43] <rwp> In which case you might look at the stdbuf command.
[06:43] <trung> okay
[06:43] <rwp> Basically libc stdout going to a tty is not buffered. But as soon as you add the pipe then libc stdout operations will be buffered into large blocks.
[06:44] <rwp> That matches your symptoms.
[06:44] <trung> I see
[06:44] <trung> do I have to put it before every command?
[06:44] <rwp> stdbuf? Yes. Before every command in the pipeline that isn't the last one going to the tty
[06:45] <huqinlou0123> irc://irc.oftc.net:6667
[06:45] <rwp> Although some commands specifically will flush or unbuffer their output or have options to do so. Not familiar enough with inotify to know
[06:45] <EriC^^> trung: you're not making much sense
[06:45] <mehdi_> hey guys i wanna give a folder specific permission to 4 users how can i do it?
[06:45] <EriC^^> trung: 1) there's no ack command, or program
[06:45] <rwp> grep has --line-buffered for example
[06:45] <rwp> That would be another choice. Use grep --line-buffered instead of your ack command
[06:45] <EriC^^> 2) if you're using awk, why are you piping it to echo ? it would echo it on the screen anyways
[06:45] <trung> EriC^^: http://beyondgrep.com/
[06:45] <trung> ack-grep is the package name for apt-get
[06:46] <trung> as for the xargs echo, as I said it's just a placeholder
[06:46] <trung> I wanted to see if the output from the previous command is piped to the next one
[06:48] <rwp> That would be a not so useless use of cat.
[06:48] <EriC^^> trung: try with awk
[06:48] <EriC^^> & xargs -0 echo
[06:50] <San82> Hi all
[06:50] <San82> I need help
[06:51] <San82> I am stuck in my guest account on my Kubuntu 14.04, I can only access my admin through cntrl alt f1, how do I copy some of my files from my computer to a USB from there?
[06:52] <helmut_> hi
[06:52] <rwp> trung, I just tried this and it worked for me: inotifywait -s -m ~/Downloads -e moved_to -e close_write | grep --line-buffered cpp | grep --line-buffered cpp | xargs -L1 echo
[06:52] <rwp> trung, I think you were missing the -L1 option
[06:52] <trung> I see
[06:53] <rwp> San82, by using cp?  Having only access through control-alt-F1 is the normal mode for me.  No problem there.  What problem are you having?
[06:55] <San82> @rwp when I look for my external hard disk in the /media it shows me a long list of guest-5kh3vhj5 and many other guest directories, how do I know which one is the one of the USB I have attached?
[06:55] <EriC^^> type df
[06:56] <rwp> San82, Assuming it was automatically mounted too.  You said Kubuntu so I assume you have KDE running and it would use HAL to automount it. Right? Then as eric suggested "df" should show it.
[06:57] <rwp> San82, If it wasn't automatically mounted then you would mount it manually with "mount /media/foo" where foo is what it says in your /etc/fstab. Probably /media/usbdisk
[07:04] <San82> @rwp computer is telling me that fstab is not a directory
[07:05] <rwp> San82, cat /etc/fstab and you will see it is a file.
[07:05] <rwp> San82, grep /media /etc/fstab and you will see it lists devices that can be mounted.
[07:06] <rwp> Hmm....  Ubuntu doesn't seem to have any /media entries in /etc/fstab.
[07:06] <rwp> San82, ^^ Sorry but I mislead you.
[07:06] <rwp> Must be mounting it through some other method.
[07:06] <rwp> But df should show you the file system if it were mounted.
[07:06] <EriC^^> San82: type sudo parted -l
[07:07] <rwp> parted doesn't show mounted things but does show partitions on devices.
[07:07] <EriC^^> rwp: exactly
[07:10] <rwp> EriC^^, What would you think of "cat /proc/partitions" then? (Or tail -f /var/log/syslog and watching the usb device arrive?)
[07:10] <EriC^^> unnecessary?
[07:13] <rwp> Basically as unnecessary as parted -l?
[07:13] <San82> ok, I believe that the usb is called guest-eGY2V5
[07:13] <EriC^^> not really, you need the /dev/sdxY before you mount a drive, no?
[07:13] <San82> but it is showing me I dont have permission to access it
[07:14] <EriC^^> San82: please type sudo parted -l , and get the disk and partition number
[07:14] <EriC^^> San82: you might have mounted it from the guest account when you accessed it i guess
[07:14] <yellabs-r2> hi there , using the amd 64 ubuntu iso, on a dual core ? will it fall back to 32 bit ?
[07:15] <San82> ok I unmounted it from the guest account
[07:15] <San82> will check now
[07:15] <EriC^^> San82: ok, you have to mount it now
[07:16] <EriC^^> so please sudo parted -l
[07:16] <bubbasaures> yellabs-r2, A 64 bit install is a 64 bit install, 32 bit packages are used however in places.
[07:18] <San82> I did the sudo parted -l
[07:18] <EriC^^> ok, do you see your disk
[07:18] <San82> yes
[07:18] <EriC^^> ok do you see your partition ?
[07:19] <EriC^^> what are you trying to mount?
[07:19] <San82> a usb disk
[07:19] <San82> stick
[07:19] <EriC^^> ok, you use it on linux or windows?
[07:20] <San82> both
[07:20] <EriC^^> San82: ok, look at the size of the partition
[07:20] <EriC^^> i think it should be a ntfs filesystem
[07:21] <San82> fat32
[07:21] <EriC^^> could be as well
[07:21] <EriC^^> ok, get the number at the left
[07:21] <EriC^^> that's the partition number
[07:22] <EriC^^> and get whatever is next to Disk above the table
[07:22] <EriC^^> /dev/sd
[07:22] <knosys> Hi, please can someone help me? I am in recovery mode, i cannot login in my user session
[07:22] <EriC^^> knosys: what do you mean?
[07:23] <knosys> when i insert my password, it try to start the session, but throw me up to the login screen again and again
[07:23] <EriC^^> knosys: did you mess with your ~/.profile ?
[07:23] <knosys> yes
[07:23] <EriC^^> that'd be it
[07:23] <knosys> not only that
[07:23] <EriC^^> lightdm doesn't like trailing stuff in the profile
[07:23] <knosys> i accidentally deleted /etc/enviroment
[07:23] <EriC^^> ok
[07:23] <EriC^^> you have a prompt right now?
[07:23] <knosys> im not sure if it existed previously
[07:24] <knosys> no, im inside weechat
[07:24] <knosys> i think i can change ... mmm to a new session right?
[07:24] <EriC^^> in the pc?
[07:24] <knosys> yes
[07:24] <knosys> in the same pc
[07:24] <EriC^^> ctrl+alt+f2
[07:24] <EriC^^> yeah
[07:24] <knosys> okay
[07:24] <knosys> then i could be switching yes
[07:24] <EriC^^> San82: did you find the /dev/sd and partition number?
[07:24] <EriC^^> knosys: ok
[07:24] <EriC^^> login, then type nano ~/profile
[07:25] <EriC^^> sorry, nano ~/.profile
[07:25] <knosys> okay
[07:25] <EriC^^> what did you add?
[07:25] <dExIT> any1 with nginx/fail2ban expertise ?
[07:26] <EriC^^> San82: if you want you can mount it from the guest account
[07:26] <knosys> EriC^^: when pressing alt+ctrl+f2 there is a blackscreen , i cannot interact with PC there
[07:27] <EriC^^> San82: and if you can't copy from there, you can use sudo to copy them from your account
[07:27] <San82> I think is sdc1
[07:27] <EriC^^> San82: ok, type mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
[07:27] <EriC^^> sorry, sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
[07:27] <EriC^^> knosys: odd, try alt+ctrl+f3
[07:28] <knosys> same
[07:28] <EriC^^> no idea, do you have screen? it would be a pain though
[07:28] <EriC^^> or just logout of irc
[07:28] <knosys> what do you mean?
[07:28] <knosys> aahh true
[07:28] <EriC^^> and undo what you added to profile
[07:28] <knosys> i can do that
[07:28] <knosys> im loged as root right now
[07:28] <knosys> it was the only way
[07:29] <EriC^^> then type sudo service lightdm start
[07:29] <knosys> i already deleted .profile, but didnt worked
[07:29] <EriC^^> or sudo service lightdm restart
[07:29] <knosys> okay
[07:29] <EriC^^> knosys: cause you're in root so you deleted root's .profile
[07:29] <knosys> no, inside /home/myusername
[07:29] <EriC^^> ok no problem
[07:30] <knosys> ok ill be back soon
[07:30] <EriC^^> do cat /home/<user>/.xsession-errors
[07:31] <knosys> hello back
[07:31] <EriC^^> ok
[07:31] <EriC^^> type cat /home/<user>/.xsession-errors
[07:32] <knosys> Didnt worked EriC^^ . Just the same. a bucle trying to login
[07:32] <San82> ok, Im thinking of what might be an easier way, how do I copy a folder from my admin account to my guest account? from there it should be easier for me to copy it to my usb
[07:32] <San82> through the cntrl alt f1
[07:32] <knosys> could this have something to do about me deleting /etc/enviroment file?
[07:32] <EriC^^> San82: i don't think there is something called the guest account
[07:32] <EriC^^> i guess you could somehow
[07:33] <knosys> before i loged out, i made a copy of the command "env" in a text file, maybe i could recover that way?
[07:33] <EriC^^> knosys: /etc/environment only has the path, that's all
[07:33] <EriC^^> knosys: can you use the guest account?
[07:33] <knosys> i did it.. Because i thought it was a folder, so i did cp a file on it. And override the file. And im not sure if it exist before that
[07:33] <knosys> No
[07:33] <knosys> i cant use it either
[07:33] <EriC^^> this is my /etc/environment
[07:34] <EriC^^> PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
[07:34] <knosys> EriC^^: typing env in console do you get exactly the same?
[07:34] <knosys> because i keep a copy of that, before i loged out last time
[07:35] <EriC^^> env is different
[07:35] <knosys> ouch
[07:35] <EriC^^> it's ok, your path is the same unless you've modified it
[07:35] <San82> ubuntu 14.04 is giving me a headache!! I prefer the lts before it...
[07:35] <knosys> omg .. unbelievable, i need even a safer OS than linux?= hahah
[07:36] <knosys> am i that rookie :)
[07:36] <EriC^^> knosys: if you want you can check what your path was in your account by typing grep PATH /path/to/saved/env
[07:37] <knosys> nice!
[07:37] <EriC^^> nevermind
[07:37] <EriC^^> i think you should just use my /etc/environment
[07:37] <EriC^^> it's a system default one
[07:37] <knosys> im using xubuntu 14.04
[07:37] <knosys> its okay?
[07:37] <EriC^^> i think so
[07:38] <knosys> okay, i will note down in a paper haha
[07:38] <__unik> knosys: For what do you use xubuntu?
[07:38] <EriC^^> it's not a huge deal, the path is what directories get searched when you type a name of a program
[07:39] <knosys> personal use.. everything. Multimedia, programming, gamming a little bit... Why do you ask __unik ?
[07:39] <EriC^^> knosys: so in case you type blabla , and get command not found
[07:39] <EriC^^> then something in your path might be missing
[07:39] <EriC^^> ( where blabla is the name of the program you usually run with no problem )
[07:40] <__unik> knosys: No, I meant what's better than unity and kde? I only know that it's lightweight
[07:40] <nusr> how can i search within files in ubuntu? i've tried grep but it did not work..i've tried recoll software but it was completely unstable..and now i'm trying docfetcher but on its website it says software is in the offical repository and i can't download directly..what other ways can i index and search for files?
[07:40] <knosys> unity...
[07:40] <knosys> lol
[07:40] <knosys> i got 4gb ram
[07:40] <knosys> and 2 cores
[07:40] <__unik> then?
[07:40] <knosys> and nvidia graphic cards
[07:40] <EriC^^> nusr: search within files?
[07:40] <knosys> and i installed ubuntu first
[07:41] <knosys> but with 3 or 4 open process it was like....
[07:41] <knosys> all bad... very bad performance
[07:41] <__unik> lol yeah
[07:41] <nusr> ericC^^: yes index the documents i have and search within them...
[07:41] <__unik> gnome and unity suck.
[07:41] <__unik> I am using KDE well
[07:41] <EriC^^> grep -r <string> /path/to/start/searching
[07:41] <knosys> I see
[07:41] <EriC^^> ( @ nusr )
[07:42] <nusr> Eric^^: thanks but the files are everywhere
[07:42] <EriC^^> nusr: then start before everywhere
[07:42] <__unik> nusr: Haven't you used windows?
[07:42] <EriC^^> nusr: grep -r <string> /
[07:43] <nusr> __unik: windows? what's that
[07:43] <__unik> hahaha
[07:43] <EriC^^> nusr: sudo grep -r <string> /
[07:43] <knosys> EriC^^: thanks a lot, i will try with your path and will tell you the results later :)
[07:43] <EriC^^> knosys: ok, no problem
[07:44] <__unik> with "/", it will search all your partition which linux has been installed in
[07:44] <__unik> you can reduce a lot of time if it's not a system file. using /home/$USER
[07:45] <knosys> see you guys!
[07:45] <__unik> knosys cya
[07:45] <EriC^^> __unik: yeah, it was just an example
[07:46] <nusr> __unik: cool thanks../ works..and my terminal is still flooding with responses..i need to specify the path as EriC^^ suggested
[07:46] <EriC^^> nusr: where are the files located?
[07:47] <nusr> Eric^^: they are mainly in a few folders...i don't need to access other partitions
[07:47] <EriC^^> which folders? like /home ?
[07:47] <EriC^^> different users?
[07:49] <nusr> Eric^^: same user, and /home/Documents/folder a /folder b etc....i might need to download recoll again because I need a preview of file contents..knowing the name of the file is not enough..something like google for my pc would be ideal..docfetcher worked well on the windows machine
[07:49] <nusr> might check repository
[07:49] <EriC^^> nusr: please explain exactly what you're trying
[07:50] <EriC^^> to achieve
[07:50] <EriC^^> nusr: you can use grep -r <string> /home/Documents
[07:50] <EriC^^> nusr: what do you mean about needing a preview of the file contents?
[07:51] <somsip> nusr: FWIW grep -nir will tell you the file, the line number and ignore case. But I get the idea you need a disk indexing service
[07:51] <nusr> Euric^^: grep command works..and i get all instances where the text field is located. but the file names are not enough..I need to have a preview of what is inside..context and surrounding words
[07:51] <nusr> somsip: yes..an indexing service like docfetcher or recoll(which does not work on my machine keeps crashing)
[07:51] <somsip> nusr: grep -nir -a2 -b2 wil also show the 2 lines before and after the match
[07:52] <somsip> nusr: I don't know of an idexer for ubuntu though...
[07:52] <EriC^^> or you can take what grep gives, and pipe it to head
[07:52] <EriC^^> take the first column with awk '{print $1}'
[07:52] <nusr> somsip: thanks i'll try that......i googled for an indexer, recoll, but it kept crashing so i uninstalled
[07:53] <knosys> hey EriC^^ didnt worked out
[07:53] <EriC^^> ah wait, first column won't work, cause it's /home/bla:<string>
[07:53] <EriC^^> use cut -d: -f1
[07:53] <lightydo> hi all, trying to use ct to build linaro tool chain for arm with specific kernel version I am using. question: how can I specify to use the linaro eglibc tarball from a custom location?
[07:53] <EriC^^> that will take the first column with : as a delimiter
[07:53] <knosys> wait ill be back in a min
[07:53] <tozen_> Hi all!! Which command I've type in tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) to launch gnome-terminal in GUI? Hope so I'm understandable. Thx.
[07:54] <electricprism> can anyone reccomend a touch keyboard? I need something quiet when I work at night
[07:54] <EriC^^> tozen_: you can't launch it in a tty
[07:54] <somsip> tozen_: gnome-terminal is an X app
[07:54] <lightydo> sorry, ignore, wrong window.
[07:54] <EriC^^> tozen_: ah sorry, you meant in GUI
[07:54] <EriC^^> tozen_: type export DISPLAY=:0
[07:54] <EriC^^> tozen_: then type gnome-terminal
[07:54] <tozen_> EriC^^:bingo!!!thx, pal
[07:55] <EriC^^> np
[07:57] <knosys> EriC^^: i can login without X. Isnt that weird?
[07:57] <knosys> in my username
[07:58] <knosys> with lightdm its impossible even with guest, but if i hit cntrl+alt+f1, in terminal i can use my user
[07:58] <EriC^^> ok, cool
[07:58] <EriC^^> check ~/.xsession-errors
[07:58] <EriC^^> and .xsession-errors.old
[07:59] <knosys> okay
[08:01] <knosys> its .xsession-errors ?
[08:01] <knosys> like that?
[08:01] <gh4d3r> hi
[08:01] <EriC^^> ah wait
[08:01] <EriC^^> you're using xubuntu
[08:02] <EriC^^> knosys: hold on
[08:03] <EriC^^> knosys: type ls -l ~/.Xauthority
[08:07] <knosys> ls .l ~/.Xauthority like this?
[08:07] <knosys> ls -l ~/.Xauthority
[08:08] <knosys> i have rw permission
[08:08] <knosys> on the first 3 grop -rw-------- something like that
[08:13] <dane_ad_boot> Hello guys, is this an appropriate channel to ask a question about deployment with ssh agent forwarding. It involves two ubuntu servers
[08:14] <dane_ad_boot> googled a lot about it and kinda feel stuck
[08:15] <knosys> i wish i could google my issue XD
[08:15] <dane_ad_boot> whats your issue about?
[08:17] <gdm85> hello! I am experiencing a weird problem. The volume indicator keeps popping up every 30 seconds or so, like if volume was maxed. but nobody is touching anything..
[08:18] <EriC^^> knosys: is it owned by you? or does it say root root or something?
[08:20] <knosys> owned by me EriC^^
[08:21] <knosys> i installed links and im searching for the "login loop"
[08:21] <knosys> There seem to be a solution to rm .Xauthority... It feels risky, what do you think about that?
[08:22] <EriC^^> knosys: it's in case it's owned by root or something
[08:23] <EriC^^> knosys: there should be a place where errors are showed
[08:23] <EriC^^> k1l: are you there?
[08:23] <k1l> knosys: you can log into konsole on ctrl+alt+F1 and see if the owner of that .Xauthority file is user:user or root:root. if root:root change it back with "sudo chown user:user .Xauthority"  while user:user is your acutal user name :)
[08:24] <k1l> see with "ls -al" who owns that file
[08:24] <knosys> ok wait
[08:24] <knosys> i own it
[08:24] <knosys> my user account
[08:25] <k1l> knosys: ok, then take a look into the .xsession-errors if that helps to find the error
[08:26] <k1l> another possible reason: the 3d video driver is not working. but then you should get at least a wallpaper or such on unity, but no panel and window decorations
[08:26] <knosys> k1l: im using xubuntu
[08:27] <knosys> .xsession-errors its not working on xubuntu right?
[08:28] <knosys> sorry, i already viewing the document.
[08:28] <EriC^^> you found it?
[08:28] <knosys> yes
[08:29] <knosys> there are 5 error lines
[08:29] <EriC^^> great, what does it say?
[08:29] <EriC^^> paste.ubuntu.com
[08:30] <knosys> lastone /usr/sbin/lightdm-session: 5: exec: init: not found
[08:30] <knosys> thats the last line
[08:30] <knosys> cannot connect to brtty
[08:30] <EriC^^> huh
[08:33] <EriC^^> head -n5 /usr/sbin/lightdm-session
[08:33] <EriC^^> did you modify that file?
[08:33] <knosys> nope
[08:33] <knosys> want me to go there?
[08:34] <EriC^^> you could try to reinstall lightdm
[08:34] <EriC^^> sudo apt-get install --reinstall lightdm
[08:34] <knosys> or exec that phrase? head -n5 /usr/sbin/lightdm-session ?
[08:34] <EriC^^> if you want exec that phrase
[08:34] <knosys> what is that for?
[08:34] <EriC^^> paste what's after the comments
[08:34] <knosys> ok sec
[08:35] <EriC^^> it gives the first 5 lines
[08:35] <EriC^^> the error is at line 5
[08:35] <knosys> echo "Running X session Wrapper"
[08:35] <knosys> its: echo "Running X session Wrapper"
[08:36] <knosys> ops sorry, double paste
[08:36] <EriC^^> ok
[08:36] <knosys> so i should reinstall dm?
[08:37] <EriC^^> i dont think it is the problem
[08:37] <EriC^^> but you can try
[08:37] <EriC^^> give it a shot
[08:38] <EriC^^> did you fix the /etc/environment ?
[08:38] <knosys> yes
[08:38] <knosys> it looks good now
[08:38] <EriC^^> are you sure?
[08:38] <knosys> yes
[08:38] <EriC^^> it could be that lightdm can't find stuff
[08:38] <knosys> yes, look when you say env
[08:38] <knosys> there is also a line: PATH=
[08:39] <knosys> and there is ur enviroment variables
[08:39] <knosys> but anyway, i just copied yours
[08:39] <knosys> and even rebooted
[08:39] <EriC^^> ok hold on
[08:39] <knosys> after reinstalling lightdm what do i do?
[08:39] <knosys> reboot and try?
[08:40] <EriC^^> sudo service lightdm restart
[08:40] <knosys> ok ty
[08:40] <knosys> same result
[08:41] <EriC^^> ok
[08:41] <EriC^^> type cat /etc/environment
[08:41] <EriC^^> maybe it's not right
[08:42] <knosys> i got 6
[08:42] <EriC^^> so the path is there?
[08:42] <EriC^^> it was saved?
[08:43] <knosys> PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin"
[08:43] <knosys> yes it was there
[08:43] <knosys> but it was with all the other env items u know
[08:43] <knosys> it wasnt in a good format, it was with all env output
[08:43] <knosys> had to edit it
[08:44] <EriC^^> you mean you took it from env
[08:44] <knosys> yeah, when i accidentally deleted i noticed
[08:44] <knosys> and saved env in a script
[08:44] <knosys> then i reboot
[08:44] <knosys> and... crash!
[08:44] <knosys> so from that script i could take the path line... but anyway thats not fixing this
[08:45] <kamkam> test
[08:45] <kamkam> hello
[08:45] <knosys> hi
[08:45] <kamkam> hi
[08:45] <kamkam> where ?
[08:46] <kamkam> hi, knosys
[08:46] <Tazmain> hi all, what is the best way to have a service start at boot time ? Its just an sh script that needs to be start to lunch a web service. Do I need to write an upstart job ?
[08:46] <l34rn> hi hi
[08:47] <kamkam> who live in thailand
[08:47] <kamkam> ?
[08:47] <kamkam> Oh
[08:47] <cfhowlett> kamkam, this is ubuntu support.  ask ubuntu questions.
[08:47] <cfhowlett> !th | kamkam
[08:48] <EriC^^> knosys: can you type ls -l /etc/environment
[08:48] <EriC^^> and paste here
[08:48] <kamkam> oh thanks a lot
[08:48] <knosys> yes
[08:48] <knosys> i cant paste
[08:48] <knosys> i have to do it manually
[08:48] <knosys> hey now is different
[08:48] <EriC^^> ok, just the -rw-r--r-- part
[08:49] <knosys> now is root
[08:49] <EriC^^> it should be root
[08:49] <knosys> aahh oki
[08:49] <knosys> -rw--r--r--
[08:53] <knosys> -rw--r--r--
[08:53] <knosys> =P
[08:53] <kamkam> can i ask any quetions about problem ubuntu
[08:53] <knosys> ask kamkam
[08:54] <kamkam> :D
[08:55] <EriC^^> sorry, knosys
[08:55] <knosys> np mate
[08:56] <EriC^^> the permissions are ok
[08:56] <EriC^^> same here
[08:56] <knosys> but i mean
[08:56] <EriC^^> do you use powerbroker?
[08:56] <knosys> lightdm = X session?
[08:56] <knosys> because it starts
[08:57] <knosys> i can even see my background of the desktop, the image i have. An owl
[08:57] <EriC^^> knosys: it seems that lightdm can't find the /usr/sbin/init file
[08:57] <knosys> aahh
[08:57] <EriC^^> it seems some software installations can break lightdm, powerbroker being one of them apparently ( maybe its fixed now dunno )
[08:57] <EriC^^> anyways lightdm can't find it most likely cause the path gets messed up somehow
[08:57] <knosys> it could be gtk+2?
[08:58] <EriC^^> did you install any software before it happened?
[08:58] <knosys> yeah probably look
[08:58] <knosys> i have been compiling c++ and also installed lot of services as mysql, apache...
[08:59] <knosys> and i was just getting an emac model, so it highligh the php code. then i try to save that on etc/enviroment becaue i think it was a directory... but it was a file and it overrided
[08:59] <knosys> but before that i was installing tons of things
[08:59] <knosys> and the most important
[08:59] <knosys> os update, i got it since 2 days ago without restart
[09:00] <knosys> and i restarted now for first time
[09:00] <knosys> so... it could be anything XD
[09:00] <EriC^^> hehe
[09:01] <EriC^^> ok
[09:01] <knosys> i messed too much with wxWidgets, because by default it install in different directory, it get messed between /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin ...
[09:01] <EriC^^> there's a workaround
[09:01] <knosys> so i installed lot of versions, even compiled one myself :/
[09:01] <EriC^^> it's ugly though
[09:01] <knosys> why?
[09:01] <knosys> what is it about?
[09:01] <EriC^^> symlinking init
[09:02] <knosys> what does symlinking means?
[09:02] <peer789456123> Foo
[09:02] <knosys> bar
[09:03] <appelman> dag perenman
[09:04] <EriC^^> symlinking making a link to the init file that it can't find somewhere else
[09:04] <EriC^^> so you put a shortcut to init somewhere lightdm can find it
[09:04] <EriC^^> if you want you can use it until you find a proper fix or something
[09:05] <knosys> ok lets try
[09:05] <EriC^^> ln -s /sbin/init /bin/init
[09:06] <EriC^^> ln -s /sbin/initctl /bin/initctl
[09:06] <EriC^^> then log out and try to log in
[09:06] <knosys> ok ty man
[09:06] <knosys> thanks
[09:07] <EriC^^> no problem
[09:07] <knosys> wow man is amazing how i can break an OS :/
[09:07] <knosys> hahahha
[09:08] <knosys> my computer should ban me, prevents me from using sudo :P
[09:09] <EriC^^> hehe
[09:10] <EriC^^> alias sudo='echo You're grounded, Mr.'
[09:10] <EriC^^> :P
[09:13] <knosys> EriC^^: it worked! :P
[09:13] <EriC^^> great :)
[09:13] <knosys> should i reinstall os?
[09:13] <EriC^^> lol, no
[09:13] <knosys> =D
[09:13] <EriC^^> :D
[09:13] <knosys> i want to fix it
[09:13] <ZEROF> Hi all, i need help to resolve one strange issue.
[09:13] <knosys> twith time ill leave it good
[09:14] <knosys> ZEROF: go ahead ask
[09:14] <Kolanis> How do I clear program cache?
[09:14] <Kolanis> The program is in Python and I'd like to clear the cache.
[09:15] <ZEROF> System is ubuntu 14.04, installation goes ok etc.. but when i come to first reboot and this screen "Please remove installation media and close the tray (if any) then press ENTER"
[09:15] <riverloop> hello, anyone here?
[09:15] <Kolanis> ZEROF: You're that guy from BackBox, aren't you?
[09:15] <ZEROF> Sure
[09:15] <Kolanis> ZEROF: why are you here? :P
[09:15] <asher1> how i fix this
[09:15] <riverloop> Can somebody tell me how to install ms core fonts without using the installer provided by ubuntu?
[09:15] <asher1> Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem.
[09:15] <ZEROF> To resolve issue we are having
[09:15] <Kolanis> asher1; go to ##networking
[09:16] <Kolanis> ZEROF: Are you a developer on BackBox 4.00?
[09:16] <hdtune2k> I wanna to know r there any C language graphical developing software?
[09:16] <ZEROF> One of them Kolanis
[09:16] <Kolanis> ZEROF; When will it be released?
[09:16] <riverloop> My company blocks the download of .exe files hence using ttf-mscorefonts-installer doesn't work.
[09:16] <ZEROF> In 4-5 days
[09:16] <Kolanis> ZEROF: can users of backbox 3 be able to upgrade to backbox 4?
[09:16] <riverloop> I need a way to install the fonts manually. Is there any ttf archives somewhere I can find?
[09:16] <knosys> what is backbox?
[09:16] <ZEROF> I'm not sure that is good idea
[09:17] <Kolanis> knosys: a pentesting OS
[09:17] <Kolanis> ZEROF: but will it be possible?
[09:17] <ZEROF> To many of updates
[09:17] <Kolanis> but i dont want to install it all over again
[09:17] <knosys> Kolanis: what is a parentesing OS? ;D
[09:17] <Kolanis> knosys; nice one
[09:18] <hdtune2k> knosys
[09:18] <ZEROF> Kolanis i didn't even try, because you will need to deal with more then 400 package updates
[09:18] <Kolanis> ZEROF: can you try it?
[09:18] <hdtune2k> :quit
[09:18] <Kolanis> ZEROF: and 400 package updates seem ok
[09:19] <ZEROF> Kolanis: I didn't try, but sure i can
[09:19] <Kolanis> ZEROF; do you have all the 400 packages installed, right? i mean their .deb files
[09:19] <ZEROF> To many things to do before playing with that
[09:19] <Kolanis> ZEROF: please make sure that backbox 3 users are able to upgrade to backbox 4
[09:19] <Guido1> hoi, i heard that i can send a bug via the command line, but it is still a bit uncleat to me. i found a bug in xubuntu. what do i have to enter? coppy & paste ready would be great
[09:19] <ZEROF> Kolanis, i will say again i don't think that is good idea
[09:20] <EriC^^> Guido1: ubuntu-bug
[09:20] <Kolanis> ZEROF: its a good idea

[09:41] <hillary> my broadband modem model E1750 does not work in ubuntu 14.04Lts
[09:42] <ZEROF> hillary: Find backports for your kernel version and install them
[09:46] <kamkam_> kk
[09:48] <hillary_> When plucked in it is detected but keeps disconnecting.
[09:48] <soee> how can i remove all files (with dotfiles) from directory ?
[09:48] <hillary_> The problem was brought by another modem i used.
[09:49] <Wulframn> soee, files such as .foo, etc?
[09:49] <soee> Wulframn: yes
[09:50] <ZEROF> rm -rf *.foo
[09:50] <Wulframn> soee, cd into that directory and then rm -rf *
[09:51] <Wulframn> soee, please make sure you're in the correct directory as that command will recursively delete all data in the directory in which it is run.
[09:52] <Guido1> is this http://superuser.com/questions/814975/lenovo-laptop-fn-ctrl-swap bug reported anywhere or a workaround known? I have the same issue.

[10:01] <hillary> Anybody who might be knowing why my broadband cannot connect in ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
[10:03] <Laban> hillary: Perhaps the kernel module is defective. Did it work with previous versions?
[10:04] <hillary> Laban: yes it worked
[10:04] <hillary> Laban:How do i check the kernel module?
[10:04] <Laban> 11:42:44 < ZEROF> hillary: Find backports for your kernel version and install them
[10:05] <Laban> Don't know if that helps you a whole lot though.
[10:05] <Laban> ZEROF: Can you advise?

[10:18] <shsne> trying to boot multi oses, followed support page but got lost real quick, can anyone help me
[10:18] <scrooge_mcduck> I am experiencing a strange issue when I try to send emails.
[10:19] <scrooge_mcduck> Error:<PHONE_NUMBER>87616:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:../deps/openssl/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:787
[10:19] <scrooge_mcduck> anyone know what this means?
[10:22] <hateball> !details | scrooge_mcduck
[10:22] <scrooge_mcduck> well, i am getting that error when I am trying to send a email with Node.js when I try to connect to a mail server
[10:24] <Fuchs> scrooge_mcduck: connecting on the wrong (non SSL) port, or the server uses a protocol your ssl library doesn't understand
[10:27] <scrooge_mcduck> hateball: I am using OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
[10:28] <scrooge_mcduck> Hmm
[10:33] <tozen> hi again! folks the question is about contain of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ so there is some config files with a numbers in beggining of the files like 10-evdev.conf 11-evdev-quirks.conf 50-synaptics.conf. so what does thin numbers means? thx
[10:35] <tozen> i'm asking because of reading this manual: http://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/ but mine issue of ls /sys/class/backlight/ is eeepc-wmi
[10:37] <Fuchs> scrooge_mcduck: and are you sure that the mail server talks SSL on that port?
[10:37] <Fuchs> scrooge_mcduck: you can connect via telnet to see what it offers
[10:38] <lorenzosu> Hi all. I get this error on a virtual machine when doing sudo apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8506467/

[10:38] <unopaste> kamkam_ you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[10:38] <lorenzosu> I *cannot* access the control interface for the machine.. only SSH into it any hint?
[10:39] <Fuchs> lorenzosu: can you manually resolve these hosts, e.g. does a ping to any of these addresses resolve to an IP?
[10:39] <lorenzosu> Fuchs: yes it does.
[10:39] <Fuchs> if not: check your nameservers  (/etc/resolv.conf) and maybe try with different ones (e.g. the google nameservers) if your network allows that
[10:39] <Fuchs> odd
[10:40] <Fuchs> does your network there require a proxy?
[10:40] <lorenzosu> Fuchs: I did check /etc/hosts and <IP_ADDRESS> was missing ( I didn't set-up this machine)
[10:40] <lorenzosu> Fuchs: no it doesn't require a proxy
[10:40] <Fuchs> if yes: apt unfortunately doesn't respect the usual environment variables
[10:40] <Fuchs> hm
[10:41] <Fuchs> if they say temporary, you could retry in a bit, maybe it was a temporary network hickup, if otherwise network and DNS work fine
[10:41] <lorenzosu> Fuchs: I don't think so this must be some problem on the (virtual) machine. It's like this since last week
[10:42] <Fuchs> lorenzosu: and resolving the name works in the virtual machine, right?
[10:42] <Fuchs> lorenzosu: plus other things such as a manual wget?
[10:43] <Fuchs> I mean you could just try to wget http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release.gpg    to see what that does
[10:43] <lorenzosu> Fuchs: Let me try
[10:44] <lorenzosu> Oh! wget won't work either
[10:44] <lorenzosu> don't tell me this machine doesn't resolve :|
[10:45] <lorenzosu> Fuchs: good guess.. I can't ping, wget nothing
[10:45] <yocapybara> hi guys I'm trying to interpret https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat8 - does this page mean tomcat8 is set up as a package that I can install on 14.04.1?  I'm not sure how to interpret it
[10:46] <Fuchs> lorenzosu: then I'd say check your network configuration that virtual machine, and also on the host it is running on, if the guest seems fine
[10:46] <lorenzosu> Fuchs: it's on amazon and I cannot access the 'control panel' or whatever it's called.  Then check the network settings from within ssh. The fact that you can ssh in is already not too bad.
[10:48] <mehdi__> hey guys how can i run .mid file in rhythmbox?
[10:48] <yocapybara> ionelmc: yup, I'm not an expert but last time I got that I had to build a new sources.list
[10:48] <lorenzosu> Fuchs: yea... have to dive into this :| thanks for your help ;)
[10:48] <ionelmc> yocapybara: how do i do that?
[10:48] <Fuchs> lorenzosu: you're welcome :)
[10:48] <Fuchs> lorenzosu: see if you can ping an IP  (such as <IP_ADDRESS>) directly, if yes: probably only the nameservers that are messed up
[10:48] <Fuchs> lorenzosu: if that doesn't work, it might be routing.
[10:48] <Fuchs> can't be completly broken, else you couldn't ssh in
[10:49] <sefai> hi all
[10:49] <ionelmc> yocapybara: actually, what do you mean? sources.list is just a config file
[10:50] <yocapybara> ionelmc: so I'm no expert but I got that when the entries in my sources.list didn't correspond to the distro I was running because I screwed things up.  Somebody else will hopefully be able to explain the ins-and-outs of it because I'm an amateur.
[10:51] <yocapybara> ionelmc: I grabbed a much more basic sources.list and copied it into mine.  You can use something like http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ as well
[10:51] <yocapybara> ionelmc: but when I had that problem it was also because I had some corrupt partial download in /etc/apt
[10:51] <yocapybara> ionelmc: sorry I can't be more help man
[10:52] <kamkam_> +
[10:57] <kamkam_> l
[10:57] <lorenzosu> Fuchs: iptables is messed
[10:59] <kamkam_> k
[11:00] <ionelmc> yocapybara: thanks, it helps
[11:00] <yocapybara> ionelmc: glad :) sorry I couldn't be more use
[11:24] <blackyboy> How can i block facebook in http and https for a particular person in local area network, that particular person using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS . I have tried adding <IP_ADDRESS> facebook.com and fb.com etc in vim /etc/hosts but its not helps.
[11:28] <varunendra> blackyboy, it has nothing to do with Ubuntu. Anybody using any OS can bypass inefficient filters like what you tried. Try using OpenDNS or some effective firewall. Seek help in a relevant forum or irc channel for that.
[11:29] <blackyboy> hmmmm
[11:39] <joshua__> can someone assist me, i used my ubuntu 14.04 live cd to use the partiton manager and delete my windows (ntfs) partitions,  i than formated the unnalocated spaces to the same format as ubuntu partition uses but i can figure out how to merge the space back.
[11:39] <joshua__> *i cant figure out
[11:41] <ilhami> what do you mean merge the space back?
[11:41] <joshua__> i got like 500gig's of space i want to merge to the ubuntu partition
[11:42] <k1l> joshua__: so you want to expand the ubuntu partition? then you need unallocated disk space.
[11:42] <ilhami> you should use a tool for that. :)
[11:42] <Darkwell> hey there
[11:42] <joshua__> i tried
[11:42] <joshua__> the gparted or w/e its called on the live cd
[11:42] <IceBot3000> joshua__: Copy all files from one partition to the other. Delete the empty partition. Then expand the other partition to the unused space
[11:42] <joshua__> but there was no option to do so
[11:42] <k1l> joshua__: and make sure that the partitions are not mounted
[11:42] <ilhami> there must be an expand function :D
[11:43] <varunendra> joshua__, is the new partition in the left of the existing Ubuntu partition?
[11:43] <Darkwell> im trying to use update-manager-text but i get an error from it all the time : AttributeError: 'UpdateList' object has no attribute 'pkgs'
[11:43] <k1l> joshua__: are you in that live system right now?
[11:43] <joshua__> yeah the ubuntu is smaller and on the right
[11:43] <Darkwell> how to remedy this ?
[11:43] <k1l> joshua__: can you upload a screenshot from the gparted program?
[11:43] <k1l> !paste | joshua__
[11:44] <joshua__> no unfortunately 'cause id have to boot to my live cd
[11:44] <Darkwell> update-manager ui seems to work ok but i want to be able to ssh in to the machine to do the updates with update-manager-text
[11:44] <joshua__> but i think i get what you mean
[11:44] <varunendra> joshua__, this should work - clone (copy in Gparted) the original partition to the new one, then delete the original Ubuntu partititon and expand the new one's right boundary to cover the emptied space.
[11:44] <joshua__> yup, thanks :D ill be back
[11:45] <k1l> varunendra: resizing should work. but i think there were some partitions mounted and that blocked that
[11:45] <ilhami> Darkwell: can't you just use apt-get?
[11:46] <chrissg> Hey folks - How can I upgrade a 13.10 server to 14.04? apt-get update / dist-upgrade followed by a do-release-upgrade (tried, -p, -d) yields in "No new release found"?
[11:46] <varunendra> k1l, resizing, or even 'touching' the left boundary takes almost 3 times the time it takes to copy the data of the size of the partition that is being resized. Besides, I'm skeptical about its UUID.
[11:47] <k1l> varunendra: he actually want to remove the windows partition and use the whole hard disk for his ubuntu
[11:47] <Esor> that's interesting
[11:47] <Darkwell> hehe
[11:47] <Darkwell> using ubuntu onlu is unusual ??
[11:48] <ilhami> no it's not unusual.
[11:48] <k1l> chrissg: what gives you "lsb_release -d"?
[11:48] <Esor> i've been using ubuntu since 5.10
[11:48] <chrissg> @k1l: Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
[11:48] <varunendra> k1l, yes I understand that. But resizing to the left has the same effect that I mentioned above. The Ubuntu partition is in the right, requiring it to be resized in the 'left', hence the problem.
[11:48] <Esor> and have never tried anything else
[11:48] <k1l> Darkwell: no its no unusal. and it should work never the less. but i think there was some partition mounted in the live system and therefor the resizing was blocked
[11:49] <RonNrolA> is anybody here from germany?
[11:49] <Darkwell> does the face that ive done an distro upgrade impact the use of update-manager-text ? still having probs after removing and autoremoving and installing again
[11:49] <k1l> RonNrolA: #ubuntu-de is the german channel
[11:50] <k1l> chrissg: can you pastebin your sources.list?
[11:50] <ilhami> Darkwell some of your packages may have been broken.
[11:51] <chrissg> k1l: here: https://edit.alpha-labs.net/p/TzSFNxDvTF
[11:51] <Darkwell> ilhami, i see so how do you make it woirk again =?
[11:51] <ilhami> sudo apt-get -f install , try this.
[11:51] <Darkwell> i usually have been using apt-get for updating before
[11:51] <Darkwell> already did apt-get -f install
[11:51] <ilhami> sudo dpkg-configure -a
[11:51] <Darkwell> were nothing to be done there
[11:52] <Esor> reinstall ubuntu
[11:52] <ilhami> maybe this :D
[11:52] <Darkwell> dpkg-configure doesnt exist
[11:52] <Esor> the best solution
[11:52] <ilhami> oh ok I am just searching google for you :D
[11:52] <Esor> www.google.com search google :D
[11:52] <Darkwell> einrtall ubuntu ? seriously ??
[11:53] <Darkwell> cant do that
[11:53] <Esor> so much fun
[11:53] <k1l> chrissg: lists "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" other PPAs ?
[11:53] <ilhami> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true
[11:53] <k1l> Esor: stop that please. be helpful in here, thanks
[11:53] <Esor> anywat what's the problem Darkwell
[11:53] <chrissg> k1l: nope, thats all. sources.list.d is empty
[11:54] <k1l> chrissg: where does the release prompt from apt direct to?
[11:54] <ilhami> Darkwell did you try to run that command ? :D
[11:54] <ilhami> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/84884 check this thread
[11:54] <k1l> chrissg:  /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[11:54] <Darkwell> everything seems ok except that i cant use the update-manager-text
[11:54] <ilhami> can you sudo apt-get update?
[11:54] <chrissg> k1l: lts
[11:55] <chrissg> ... Oh.
[11:55] <Darkwell> apt-get update works fine
[11:55] <k1l> chrissg: there you go. make it normal
[11:55] <ilhami> Darkwell hmm .
[11:55] <Esor> sudo apt-get install -f
[11:55] <chrissg> *cough*
[11:55] <chrissg> Now its works.
[11:55] <Darkwell> update-manager also works fine ... only the update-manager-text that complains end exist after trying to list packages
[11:55] <chrissg> Sometimes it's the little things -- thanks K1l!
[11:56] <ilhami> Darkwell can you post the error message again?
[11:56] <ilhami> if it's long then in a pastebin
[11:59] <ilhami> Darkwell don't sleep. :D
[12:00] <Esor> i wish i could fix all your problems
[12:02] <Darkwell> http://pastebin.com/2HEnkryF
[12:02] <Darkwell> patebin on the command
[12:03] <Darkwell> see nothing that seems to cause update-manager-text problem tere
[12:04] <ilhami> Darkwell run the command that gave you the error :D
[12:04] <ilhami> not this
[12:04] <ilhami> I want to see the full error message.
[12:04] <graymalkin> has anyone here recently updated binutils, and had issues along the lines of "/usr/bin/ld: .eh_frame_hdr refers to overlapping FDEs." ?
[12:07] <Darkwell> http://pastebin.com/LsVkkjev
[12:08] <Darkwell> thats the output from running update-manager-text
[12:09] <ilhami> did you use "do-release-upgrade" to upgrade Ubuntu?
[12:09] <awm> çàõîäè íå ïîæàëååøü òóò êðóòî http://cibq.alkerz.ru/84247/2963685/
[12:09] <Darkwell> i dont know.. its long time ago I upgraded to 14.04
[12:10] <ilhami> Please do not use do-release-upgrade to upgrade Ubuntu. It tends to break the system.
[12:10] <Darkwell> what i find interesting is that the gui update-manager seems to work ok.. but i have no use for gui since the machine is supposed to be updated via ssh
[12:12] <ilhami> Darkwell look at this http://askubuntu.com/questions/328072/do-release-upgrade-to-13-04-crashed
[12:23] <Darkwell> problem is that i dont think I hadany 13.01 i thjink it was 12.01 lte and upgraded to 14.04 lte
[12:24] <Darkwell> dpkg --configre -a does nothing anyhows
[12:24] <Darkwell> so to me it seems update-manager-text is just borked

[12:49] <Corey84> used to use and loved it on fedora/suse
[12:53] <kanagu> Hello any one help I lost my folder where in Home folder...help!!!!!!!
[12:53] <kanagu>  Hello any one help I lost my folder where in Home folder...help!!!!!!!
[12:53] <kanagu>  Hello any one help I lost my folder where in Home folder...help!!!!!!!
[12:53] <kanagu>  Hello any one help I lost my folder where in Home folder...help!!!!!!!
[12:53] <Corey84> kanagu, which one and how
[12:53] <kanagu> thanks for u r reply Corey84....
[12:54] <kanagu> Corey84 =>  after i restarted my ubuntu 12.04 amd64 my Downloads, Desktops, Documents and Pictures folder where created new
[12:55] <Corey84> kanagu, fresh install ?
[12:55] <Corey84> and is this server or desktop
[12:55] <kanagu> Corey84 =>  due do  system files currupted...
[12:57] <kanagu> Corey84 => I am using ubuntu 12.04 amd64 as host os ... in that i have installed VirtualBox VM for running some centos and windows 2003 guest for servicng web server
[12:57] <Corey84> kanagu, so what was done to backup any prior non corrupt files ? if they were re-created jsut repopulate with restored files
[12:57] <cfhowlett> kanagu, you backed up your files, right?  RIGHT?
[12:57] <Corey84> where any guest files in there or where they seperated (hopefully backuped either way)
[12:58] <kanagu> no i dont have last six months backup....
[12:58] <Corey84> cfhowlett, we can hope

[12:58] <cfhowlett> Corey84, hope ... yeah
[12:58] <kanagu> when i saw windows server virtualbox folder and centos guest os folder are missing in my VirtualBox VMs folder which is located in Home folder
[12:58] <Corey84> kanagu, you have heard of cron.daily/weekly yes/?
[12:59] <kanagu> ya
[12:59] <cfhowlett> kanagu, EVERY wiki / tutorial you'll read says "back up before you install/upgrade!"
[12:59] <Corey84> exactly why that is on its own partition
[12:59] <Corey84> most i see HAVE IT IN CAPS 3-4x  lol
[12:59] <kanagu> when my guest are running  good but that guest os virtual harddisk fils are mising
[13:00] <kanagu> so that i stoped windows server and cent os server
[13:00] <Corey84> sounds like  a testdisk run and / or rebuild -----have fun either way
[13:00] <kanagu> then restarted my host ubuntu 12.04 amd64
[13:01] <kanagu> after that my Documents folders regeneated and telling some language changed error
[13:01] <Corey84> cfhowlett, you have any ideas on my ? tho by chance (i hate vbox myself )
[13:01] <kanagu> after that i am find my guest os folders and files in my VirtualBox VMs folder...
[13:01] <cfhowlett> Corey84, I'm afraid to hazard a guess given the operator maintenance habits ...
[13:02] <Corey84> kanagu, tbh its mostly likely best to backup any host files NOW and reinstall everything fresh
[13:02] <Corey84> fair nuff
[13:02] <kanagu> Corey84 => when i tried using testdisk it shows the folder but not able to recover
[13:02] <kanagu> Corey84 =>  i cant take backup...
[13:02] <Corey84> then fresh rebuild
[13:02] <cfhowlett> kanagu, if testdisk can't restore ... it's pretty much gone
[13:03] <Corey84> may i recommend LVM this time
[13:03] <kanagu> Corey84 =>  extundelete replied unable to restrore files spaces has been reallocated...
[13:04] <kanagu> i can recover my virtual disk files vmdk using foremost and photorec but after i attached it virtualbox are not working...

[13:21] <sinan> I'm trying to cut a few seconds from an MP4 file. I am using: "ffmpeg -acodec copy -vcodec -i VID_20130221_161344.mp4 -ss 3 -t 3 test.mp4", but the output is choppy. I read somewhere this is because ffmpeg with the copy option will only encode video up to the last i-frame. I tried using "-vcoded mpeg4", but I get "Invalid pixel aspect ratio 65536/65536, limit is 255/255", which I tried to fix with "-aspect 1:1" but I get "timebase 1/90000 not sup

[14:26] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> well /etc
[14:26] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> Im trying to help you X1
[14:27] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: no, no early is not there
[14:27] <Corey84> for a non fatal mount of swap?
[14:27] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> put noearly at the end and try that
[14:27] <X1> after sha256=
[14:27] <X1> ?
[14:28] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> yeah put a comma and then "noearlyt
[14:28] <Corey84> ThaSwapMeetPimp,  X1 :    luks,discards,noearly    is my /etc/crypttab flafs

[14:28] <Corey84> flags*
[14:28] <X1> ok, thx i will try
[14:28] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> And if its using device ID switch it to your dev like mine is /sda7
[14:29] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> /dev/sda7
[14:29] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> I mean
[14:29] <ilhami> pbx, you fixed it?
[14:29] <stianhj> S_A: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch ? you have an older version of dpkg
[14:30] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> And change it in your fstab also
[14:30] <asher1> hola
[14:30] <asher1> how i fix this?
[14:30] <asher1> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[14:30] <ilhami> run that command.
[14:30] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> the dev address from id to /dev/sda
[14:30] <ilhami> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[14:30] <ilhami> it says what you should do lol
[14:30] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> whatever sda yours is
[14:30] <ilhami> asher1,
[14:31] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: no, didnt work, in my crypttab is: cryptswap1 UUID=3912034921long number /dev/urandom swap,offset=8,cipher=aes-essiv:sha256,noearly
[14:31] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> change UUID to whatever /dev/sda
[14:31] <X1> you mean UUID=/dev/sda5, in my case swap should be sda5
[14:32] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> remove UUID\
[14:32] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> UUID=
[14:32] <pbx> ilhami, no
[14:32] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> cryptswap1 /dev/sda7 /dev/urandom
[14:32] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> is what mine says
[14:32] <ilhami> pbx, list your problem again and what version are you running?
[14:33] <pbx> ilhami, problem is that some systray icons are just gray (the built-in ones, i note now).  14.04.
[14:33] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: ok, i will try now
[14:33] <pbx> maybe it's normal and i just never noticed it
[14:33] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> dont forget to change it in your fstab too
[14:34] <ilhami> pbx, gonna check it out.
[14:34] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> and did you swapon?
[14:34] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> swapon -a
[14:35] <ilhami> pbx, have they always been grey or did it happen after some updates or changes?
[14:35] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: in my fstab is: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0
[14:35] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: AHHH thx!! it worked now!!
[14:36] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> :)
[14:36] <ilhami> pbx, can you take a screenshot and share it with me?
[14:36] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: so the swap is crypted now?!
[14:36] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> Glad I could help
[14:36] <ilhami> pbx, what DE are you using?
[14:36] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> well type /cat/procs/swap
[14:36] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> lol
[14:36] <Fuchs> cat /proc/swaps
[14:36] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> type cat .proc/swaps
[14:37] <Fuchs> would make more sense. Just to mention it.
[14:37] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> cat /proc/swaps
[14:37] <ilhami> pbx, check your drivers for your graphics card as well.
[14:37] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> Yeah I just woke up about 20 minutes ago
[14:37] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: when i type cat /proc/swaps it cant find it
[14:37] <deekej> hey guys
[14:37] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> it doesnt say /dev/dm-0?
[14:38] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: ah my mistake, typed procs.. it is proc
[14:38] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: well, thx, /dev/dm-0 now ; )
[14:38] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> :)
[14:38] <X1> :)
[14:38] <deekej> probably I'm stupid, but if I use the command 'sudo rm -rf *' in the ~/.test folder, it should not delete the content of the ~/ itself, right?
[14:38] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> no just the /.test folder
[14:38] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> not stupid just wary
[14:39] <pbx> ilhami, don't recall if they've always been gray. i thought not, but the contrast with the third-party icons may have fooled me.  http://i.imgur.com/sVqdKAZ.png  Unity. screen display is utterly normal otherwise so i don't think it's a drive problem
[14:39] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> i accidentally typed sudo rm -R /var/lib instead of /var/log a couple weeks ago
[14:39] <deekej> well, then there's a bug in the rm
[14:39] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> so its good to be wary
[14:39] <ilhami> pbx, I see they are a bit too grey. :) It's hard to see them even.
[14:40] <deekej> (I've read the POSIX spec, it should not delete . and .., it should get some warning about it can't delete them)
[14:40] <deekej> and even though I have used the -rf parameter, it should only descend into folders, not ascend, right?
[14:40] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> goign beyond me there just to be honest
[14:40] <ilhami> pbx, maybe you should try to change the theme and see if it help.s
[14:40] <ilhami> helps*
[14:41] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> what does the -rf do?
[14:42] <ilhami> pbx: You can change the colors in the preferences: Unity/Prefereces/Colors
[14:42] <deekej> I meant I used 'sudo rm -rf'
[14:42] <gartral> ThaSwapMeetPimp: -r is recursive... -f is force
[14:43] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> then no it does not ascend I did not delete /var when i deleted /var/lib
[14:43] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> and i dont think logically it would ascend, then children would be deleting parents
[14:43] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> wnad what a shitty world that would be lol
[14:43] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> sorry
[14:43] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> swear

[14:47] <busybox> yea
[14:47] <AR45> isn’t there something I can type in ther terminal to get rid of the graphical install and just use the menue?
[14:48] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> if I knew it I would help ya
[14:48] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> I am sure there is I just dont know it
[14:48] <cfhowlett> AR45, .mini or server have text installer.  I believe lubuntu and xubuntu might as well
[14:49] <AR45> cfhowlett: I’m attempting to insall 14.04 AMD64 Mac.ISO
[14:49] <S_A> stianhj: You mean I need to update dpkg first ?
[14:49] <cfhowlett> AR45, AMD is not so well supported.
[14:49] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> no 64 bit
[14:50] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> AMD-64 bit
[14:50] <AR45> cfhowlett: My processor is is Intel...
[14:50] <AR45> cfhowlett: AMD-64bit
[14:50] <deekej> ThaSwapMeetPimp: yeah, then I have definitely found a bug. And it has only costed me my home folder... o.O
[14:50] <compdoc> AMD is well supported
[14:50] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> Thats bogus
[14:50]  * deekej is really angry and frustrated
[14:50] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> I guess its  achild eat parent kind of world in ubuntu
[14:50] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> hmm....
[14:51] <AR45> anyone here running ubuntu on mac?
[14:51] <cfhowlett> AR45, 14.04 mac iso?  where did you find that?  not on the releases.ubuntu.com
[14:51] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> maybe its the f you had in there
[14:51] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> -rf instead of -r
[14:51] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> does -rf make it go backwards and forwards, which logically wouldnt make any sense
[14:51] <Pici> !who
[14:52] <busybox> anyone test ubuntu 14.10

[14:52] <asher1> how i connect to ftp server from website?
[14:52] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> deekej is who
[14:53] <AR45> cfhowlett: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[14:54] <pbx> asher1, please explain the ubuntu connection, and explain what specifically you are trying to do.
[14:54] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> deekej:you could test something for me, is it in your root trash now?
[14:54] <cfhowlett> AR45, no MAC iso on that page ... check your sources
[14:54] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> deekej:or does sudo rm completely delete
[14:54] <Pici> cfhowlett: Sure there is.
[14:55] <deekej> ThaSwapMeetPimp: it's completely gone - it has cost me almost my whole home directory.
[14:55] <deekej> ThaSwapMeetPimp: I'm not testing it anymore on my machine, I don't want to loose more files
[14:55] <AR45> cfhowlett: My friend. Why do we speak of irrelevant things.
[14:56] <segaboy81> is us.old-releases.ubuntu.com down?
[14:56] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> deekej: OK wasnt sure I jumped to reinstall as soon as I had deleted what I did and  didnt check in /Trash-.0
[14:56] <cfhowlett> ar45 details matter.  found it.
[14:56] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> deekej:to make sure it was ssitting there waiting to be completely deleted when I rebooted or it cleaned itself
[14:56] <deekej> ThaSwapMeetPimp: I'm writing to maintainers right now to see their's response. If you use rm, than nothing is moved to the Trash.
[14:56] <theadmin> segaboy81: There's no us. on that domain, it's just old-releases.ubuntu.com
[14:56] <segaboy81> Trying to grab some packages from us.old-releases.com for Ubuntu 8.04 and can't resolve.
[14:56] <AR45> cfhowlett: I sent you docummentation that made reference to it.
[14:56] <AR45> cfhowlett: http://imgur.com/HKFRJsL
[14:56] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> no not normal trash root trash
[14:56] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> but whatever
[14:56] <segaboy81> I see.  I'll fix up sources.list.  Thanks
[14:56] <cfhowlett> AR45, got it.
[14:57] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> deekej:just a thought otherwise I have no clue kinda messed up
[14:57] <segaboy81> I've got old-releases.ubuntu.com in my sources.list, but during apt-get update, it says it can't resolve us.old-releases.ubuntu.com.  I'm guessing that's the mirror...
[14:58] <cfhowlett> segaboy81, why would you have old releases in your source.list??
[14:58] <deekej> ThaSwapMeetPimp: I had a backup, but not recent one...
[14:58] <segaboy81> It's 8.04
[14:58] <segaboy81> I've got 1000s or 8.04 DVRs that are still in the field.  I'm just trying to grab the latest udev provided in the repos.
[15:01] <segaboy81> So, the mirror for us.old-releases.ubuntu.com is down.  How can I use another mirror?
[15:01] <EriC^^> remove us.
[15:01]  * icocora
[15:02] <ilhami> pbx, did you try anything?
[15:02] <Pici> segaboy81: Make sure that it doesn't say us.old-release (its just old-releases.) in /etc/apt/sources.list or in any of the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[15:03] <pavlos> segaboy81, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[15:03] <pbx> ilhami, haven't known what to try
[15:03] <segaboy81> Pci: it does not say us.  My DNS address is probably why it's resolving that us mirror...  but it doesn't seem to try any others...
[15:04] <icocora> whois vins_
[15:05] <segaboy81> aha!  sorry gentlemen... it looks like someone was fooling with my sources.list.  I had simply used sed to change archive instances to old-releases, but someone had tried to change this to us.old-releases at some poi nt, so I hadn't changed anything with sed.
[15:06] <Pici> segaboy81: I had a feeling that was the problem. :)

[15:21] <ppf> i'm using a script in Xsession.d to launch setxkbmap
[15:22] <ppf> however, my changes appear to be overriden by something happening later during awesome startup
[15:22] <ppf> how do i track what that is, or what is the proper place to set keyboard mappings?
[15:22] <X1> ThaSwapMeetPimp: hey, do you also know how to set up metasploit? cause i have problems with installing libgtk2-ruby libglade2-ruby, which i need for metasploit, or?
[15:22] <ppf> some place in awesomes config?
[15:26] <joeyrelf> im using Xubuntu has any one else got a preference for any others?
[15:26] <Fuchs> joeyrelf: probably. Do you have a support question about it, though?
[15:26] <joeyrelf> nope just general curiosity
[15:26] <cfhowlett> joeyrelf, every user has a preference.
[15:27] <Fuchs> joeyrelf: because discussing what's best is 1) a matter of personal preference and, unless there are very specific use cases, usually pointless  2) more something for #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:27] <joeyrelf> cool i wasnt aware of the off topic room thanks

[15:36] <Departure> Anyone one seeing a segment fault with GUVCVIew and Ubuntu 14.10?
[15:36] <Raseven> i installed KDE on ubuntu and now it wont start
[15:37] <Fuchs> Raseven: do you get any error messages, or what exactly happens?
[15:37] <Raseven> i log in and then the wallpaper shows and nothing happens
[15:38] <Fuchs> that's interesting. Do you get anything in your ~/.Xsession-errors or  ~/.cache/upstart/startkde.log
[15:39] <asher1> how i can fix this error?
[15:39] <asher1> http://pastebin.com/EhDKGyX5

[15:41] <Raseven> Fuchs, i have no idea
[15:41] <Fuchs> Raseven: have a look then, I guess :)  The former gets overwritten at the next X start, so you might want to copy it away in a VT  (CTRL+ALT+F1, CTRL+ALT+F7 brings you back) first.

[15:43] <Raseven> Fuchs, when do i enter this command, i coudlnt ctrl+alt+t
[15:43] <Fuchs> Raseven: both are files, not commands
[15:43] <chino> uydct
[15:43] <Fuchs> log files, to be more specific
[15:43] <Raseven> ctrl+alt+f1 is a file?
[15:44] <Kolanis> I have Ubuntu 14.14 and I hate the default desktop environment, I'd like to make a switch to Xfce in Ubuntu 14.14. How can I do that?
[15:44] <Fuchs> Raseven: no, that is a combination that should take you to a console
[15:44] <cfhowlett> Kolanis, sudo apt-get install xfce4 will get the look and feel but not the apps
[15:44] <cfhowlett> !purexubuntu | Kolanis
[15:45] <Fuchs> Raseven: if that doesn't work, things are rather seriously broken. But the other log file mentioned (in ~/.cache) should be available from a different session than KDE
[15:45] <Kolanis> cfhowlett: this is horrible
[15:45] <ayrus> Hi, I'm new to ubuntu. I have installed ubuntu 14 on my thinkpad L440 and I'm using modem Huwai 12d1:14db. The device working after restart but when I unplug and replug its not working? I don't want to reboot each time. Save me. :(
[15:45] <Kolanis> cfhowlett: Ubuntu is cancer to Linux.
[15:45] <Pici> Kolanis: Just install xubuntu-desktop and then choose xfce from the login screen.
[15:45] <Kolanis> Pici; is it possible?
[15:45] <chino> aaa801
[15:46] <Pici> Kolanis: I wouldnt have said it if it wasn't possible. Also, please mind your attitude here. Such comments are not appropriate.
[15:46] <Kolanis> Pici; I am an writer/editor of Technology at The Guardian, and I am writing an article on Ubuntu 14.14, and Ubuntu's past.
[15:46] <OerHeks> please, do not compare software with cancer, Kolanis
[15:46] <cfhowlett> Kolanis, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
[15:46] <ayrus> Hi, I'm new to ubuntu. I have installed ubuntu 14 on my thinkpad L440 and I'm using modem Huwai 12d1 14db The device working after restart but when I unplug and replug its not working? I don't want to reboot each time. Save me. :(
[15:46] <Pici> Kolanis: Then you should be aware that 14.14 doesnt exist.
[15:46] <Kolanis> 14.10*
[15:46] <EriC^^> Kolanis: well you are off to a good start, 14.14
[15:46] <Kolanis> 14.04*
[15:46] <Kolanis> sorry, gentlemen.  Can anybody give me the link to the Ubuntu documentation?
[15:48] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> kolanis Google it
[15:48] <EriC^^> Kolanis: he said xfce will get you the feel but not the applications
[15:48] <EriC^^> Kolanis: for a journalist, i think your reading skills are a bit lacking
[15:48] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> Kolanis: lol at you
[15:48] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> lol
[15:48] <Kolanis> im not a journalist, you fuckin' losers lol
[15:48] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> Kolanis: Obviously
[15:49] <cfhowlett> Kolanis, lose the profanity and the attitude.
[15:49] <EriC^^> lol
[15:49] <ThaSwapMeetPimp> What a d-bag!
[15:49] <k1l_> kloeri: guys, no need for insults in here. thanks
[15:49] <Fuchs> slight mistab there, but I'm sure kloeri will be happy  :p
[15:50] <ayrus> Hi, I'm new to ubuntu. I have installed ubuntu 14 on my thinkpad L440 and I'm using modem Huwai 12d1 14db The device working after restart but when I unplug and replug its not working?
[15:53] <ppf> kdomanski : what's the error message?
[15:54] <Amalesh__> xxcxc
[15:54] <kdomanski> ppf: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/dpkg" (No such file or directory)
[15:54] <Amalesh__> HI
[15:56] <Atman> Hi
[15:57] <bedo> Hi
[15:57] <ppf> kdomanski : i suggest you boot your system from a live disk and copy all the binaries
[15:57] <ayrus> can someone help me please?
[15:58] <ppf> and then do debsums and apt-get --reinstall install until everything looks good
[15:59] <ppf> oh, between copying and fixing, you should change-root over to your installation, of course
[16:00] <kdomanski> ppf: thanks, I'll try to make a live usb disk in this state
[16:00] <ppf> do you have another machine/system available?
[16:00] <kdomanski> no
[16:01] <ppf> do you have any binaries left?
[16:01] <ppf> you'll need at least dd to unpack the image
[16:01] <kdomanski> whatever us in /bin, but I cannot run them
[16:01] <kdomanski> because they are symlinks I think
[16:02] <ppf> you could also mount the image if that is still available
[16:02] <kdomanski> ppf: I have some docker images
[16:03] <vibhutikant> hi
[16:03] <Raseven> Fuchs, .Xsession-errors says the session started and there is no startkde.log
[16:04] <Fuchs> Raseven: that is very odd then, and makes debugging rather hard :(
[16:04] <kushal> hi
[16:04] <Raseven> Fuchs, i basically installed the full kde metapackage and then rebooted
[16:04] <Fuchs> Raseven: what you could do is run startkde on a terminal   (maybe on a different X Server) to see if it gives any decent error messages there
[16:04] <Fuchs> Raseven: yeah, and that should work
[16:05] <ppf> kdomanski:  your shell is probably able to do a lot of the things you'd usually need binaries for, so as long as you got access to the system binaries somehow, you might be able to copy the stuff without a fully working system
[16:07] <lynch> hello
[16:07] <ppf> hello
[16:08] <daniel___> hi
[16:08] <kdomanski> ppf: alright, that does it, I'm rebooting to windows and preparing a disk there, thank you anyway
[16:09] <kdomanski> ppf: btw, would a direct upgrade from 14.04 disk work?
[16:09] <reeed> Dear all, how do I sudo the following? "echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16"
[16:09] <ppf> upgrade?
[16:09] <kdomanski> ppf: from 13.10
[16:10] <ppf> i think your 13.10 is mostly gone, so it shouldn't be a problem to fix the system using a 14.10 disk
[16:10] <daniel___> I used to have precise installed. Also I installed libreoffice's unstable version via entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. Now, I upgraded to trusty and I want to get rid of all the precise libreoffice packages. Do can I do this?
[16:10] <kdomanski> alright, thx
[16:10] <Pici> reeed: echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/abi/ldt16
[16:10] <reeed> thanks !
[16:11] <OerHeks> daniel___, upgrade should remove or at least disable those packages, how do you tell that ppa is still active?
[16:11] <cfhowlett> daniel___, sudo apt-get purge libreoffice the packages.  you might also clean your sources
[16:11] <ppf> Pici : dpkg --list gives you all packages, look for the ones you don't like and throw them out
[16:12] <ppf> sorry, i meant daniel___ of course :)
[16:12] <Pici> Naturally :)
[16:12] <Raseven> fachs
[16:12] <OerHeks> cfhowlett, ppa-purge if it is a ppa
[16:13] <Raseven> damn he left
[16:13] <cfhowlett> OerHeks, true ...
[16:13] <daniel___> cfhowlett: thanks, that helped!
[16:13] <Raseven> so does anyone else have an idea of why ubuntu wont start after a kde installation
[16:13] <ppf> Raseven : at which point does it stop to start?
[16:13] <Raseven> i tried opening virtual terminal twice but it just kept coming back to the login screen, and after login trying to do it gets me locked on a fully black screen
[16:14] <Raseven> ppf, after log in it just sits at a wallpaper
[16:14] <ppf> so, what did you do, install kde and remove unity?
[16:14] <Raseven> i didnt do the last part
[16:15] <Raseven> i just installed kde
[16:15] <ppf> hm, okay
[16:15] <cfhowlett> daniel___, you install kde or kubunt-desktop?
[16:15] <ppf> that happened to me when i removed unity and lightdm was still trying to launchit as default session
[16:16] <Raseven> ppf, the kde login screen lets me pick "default, kde plasma, ubuntu, failsafex"
[16:16] <Raseven> none of those work
[16:16] <ppf> you're using kdm i take it?
[16:16] <Raseven> yes
[16:16] <Raseven> it asked me whether to use kdm or lightdm i didnt know
[16:16] <ppf> what are the contents of xsession-errors, kdm log (if there is one) and xorg log?
[16:17] <Raseven> xsession-errors has nothing but "session started", let mme check those others
[16:17] <Raseven> where are those usually
[16:17] <Raseven> there is no startkde log btw
[16:17] <ppf> in /var/log
[16:17] <ppf> did you try starting X without a display manager?
[16:18] <Raseven> i dont know how to do that
[16:18] <ppf> startx
[16:18] <Raseven> i tried doing startx at a virtual term
[16:18] <Raseven> that just locked me up at a black screen
[16:18] <Raseven> but the dm had already loaded
[16:19] <Raseven> let me paste this log somewhere
[16:19] <ppf> what do you mean by "virtual term"?
[16:19] <ppf> are you logging in over a network? using putty?
[16:19] <Raseven> ctrl+alt+f1 like fuchs told me to do
[16:19] <Raseven> http://privatepaste.com/57b722591f
[16:19] <atlasherk> http://goo.gl/VuQUny 60 cent for me
[16:19] <ppf> right
[16:19] <neutrino> any ops ?
[16:20] <Zerock|LittleRed> I'm unable to install libgtk2.0-dev on 12.04 due to dependency mismatches in the repos.
[16:20] <atlasherk> 1 op i see
[16:20] <bubbasaures> neutrino, See #ubuntu-ops
[16:20] <Zerock|LittleRed> atlasherk: That's a bot.
[16:20] <atlasherk> i not bot
[16:21] <ppf> Raseven : well, that has several errors
[16:21] <Zerock|LittleRed> atlasherk: I didn't call you a bot. The op in this channel is a bot.
[16:21] <swift_fan> What does it mean when you get a message that says "rsyslogd was HUPed" ??
[16:21] <swift_fan> :)
[16:21] <atlasherk> ah
[16:21] <nikc> Afternoon, was looking for a little help with a system not mounting its harddrive post and upgrade
[16:21] <nikc> i googled and found people with the same issue ... but the fix they apply (remounts, dpkg --configure -a etc) havent worked for me
[16:21] <nikc> i just get the option for manual recovery, fsck finds now errors in maintenance terminal
[16:21] <ppf> Raseven : did you google the error messages in there?
[16:21] <atlasherk> hm has is most popular chanal in this irc
[16:22] <Raseven> ppf, no i havent i havent seen this yet
[16:22] <nikc> my topic is ?
[16:22] <Raseven> ppf, do i start from the top or the bottom
[16:22] <atlasherk>  i most irc is freebsd chanal
[16:22] <ppf> generally at the bottom, there are the youngest entries
[16:23] <daniel___> exit
[16:24] <ppf> from a superficial look at your log it might be that you are missing some of the dbus packages
[16:28] <jack_> hello
[16:29] <jack_> how to install ssh
[16:29] <neutrino> apt-get install openssh
[16:29] <jack_> thanks
[16:30] <Pici> jack_: The ssh package includes both the server and client.  If you just want the client then it is openssh-client.
[16:30] <Pici> neutrino: its just 'ssh'

When i try to connect to the pure-ftp server on this server i can login but when i request a directory listing i get permission denied.The firewall is configured and the directory persmissions are set but still it doesnt work.... Anyone who can give me a hint?
[16:30] <neutrino> jack_: corrections apparently ^
[16:30] <Susning> Question: Can I associate .sfv-files in Unity with the terminal application quicksfv? There is no GUI for quicksfv which is ok by me but I would like for a specific command by quicksfv run on the chosen file started in Unity. I also need the terminal to "pause" making it possible for me to see the result from quicksfv before it closes. Any idea how to proceed?
[16:31] <wish> yo
[16:32] <wish> yo
[16:33] <Fuchs> Susning: technically you can create a starter that has an exec line with   "yourfavouriteterminal -e yourcommand $SHELL"
[16:34] <wish> kyslef
[16:34] <Fuchs> Susning: so e.g.  exec = "gnome-terminal -e quicksfv foobarbla; $SHELL"
[16:34] <Fuchs> (replace gnome-terminal with whatever you use, make sure it knows the -e option though. Most terminals do)
[16:34] <wish> yo?
[16:34] <Susning> Fuchs, So a starter how is that created? I'm quite new to this ;)
[16:35] <Fuchs> $SHELL should be replaced with whatever shell you use  (e.g. /bin/bash) and thus ensure the terminal won't be closed after the quicksfv thingie ended
[16:35] <Fuchs> Susning: let me see if I find a good English description, I only have a German one at han
[16:35] <DJones> wish: This channel is for Ubuntu support, if you've got an Ubuntu support question,please feel free to ask it in the channel
[16:35] <Fuchs> *hand
[16:35] <Fuchs> oh, that was trivial
[16:35] <Fuchs> Susning: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles    there you go
[16:36] <|xk05|> hello, im having a problem upgrading to 14.10 the 'click' and 'click-apparmor' packages are segfaulting with code 139 and borking my upgrade. any suggestions?
[16:36] <Fuchs> Susning: you can also just bind the file type to that command, but I think creating a custom .desktop file for it is more proper
[16:36] <Susning> Fuchs, nice. I'll give it a try.
[16:37] <Fuchs> (just to make sure: $SHELL will be auto-replaced, don't replace it yourself. Write $SHELL, exactly like that. Only adjust the rest to your needs, but end the command with ; $SHELL.  The ; will make sure that $SHELL is executed after the first command, and $SHELL will keep your terminal open)
[16:37] <nikc> Yo_LtA: spamming ... :(
[16:37] <Fuchs> Susning: great :)
[16:45] <a_> hi
[16:45] <neutrino> DJones: yeah i asked for ops earlier for this reason
[16:45] <dcope> is there a way to listen to see what process tries to make an outbound connection on a specific port?

[16:48] <OerHeks> * where 80 can be any port you want, just an example
[16:49] <dcope> thanks OerHeks
[16:49] <dcope> it seems this process is trying to connect over ssl. is there a way to filter that?

[16:54] <dllama> hey guys, hoping someone can help me out,  i'm not very good @ admin stuff so kind of stuck on this.  i added vsftpd but in order to serve static content from a domain pointed to the users home directiory, i had to make ownership  www-data:www-data, otherwise nginx was giving 403, i just added teh user to group www-data but cannot modify things via ftp.  can anyone suggest what to do to fix it?
[16:54] <daftykins> dllama: provide a pastebin of "ls -al" in the /home of a given example user that's been added to www-data
[16:55] <dllama> 1 sec
[16:55] <nikc> there really isnt much in the way of an error i can see
[16:55] <nikc> it says mounted sda1 filesystem as ext4-fs
[16:56] <pavlos> nikc, cat /etc/fstab
[16:58] <daftykins> nikc: was that manually ?
[17:02] <nikc> yup, just getting fstab now
[17:03] <nikc> (its a remote box, so i am having to VNC on as the error stops the net coming up)
[17:04] <dllama> daftykins: i think i fixed it, changed ownership of files to alex:www-data and added user alex to that group and nginx isn't complaining anymore, along with i'm now browse the folder in ftp
[17:04] <dllama> thanks !
[17:04] <dllama> nm, it was cached :(
[17:07] <nikc> it basically says for the boot drive

[17:10] <DJones> grv007: You need to ask your support question
[17:11] <pavlos> nikc, why do you think your sda1 is read only? the fstab has that line in case of error to remount it as ro
[17:11] <grv007> well i am new here,,i need now about gsoc
[17:11] <daftykins> nikc: can you share the output of "mount" ?
[17:11] <Woodrag> how do i prefend that a user who logs in with ftp changes directory to a different directory than his homedirectory?
[17:13] <DJones> grv007: No worries, just explain in the channel what the problem you're having is, along with what you expect to happen etc, hopefully somebody will be able to help you then
i am an average programmer Jones..i want to test my skills in google summer of code. but i dont know what to do and how to prepare for it.i need guidance.
[17:15] <DJones> grv007: I've no idea about that, notsomething I've done, I'd suggest joining #ubuntu-offtopic and asking there, this channel only deals with Ubuntu support issues, but people in the offtopic channel may be able to give some suggestions
[17:16] <grv007> ok thanks  Jones
[17:18] <Woodrag> how can i realise that a ftp user only sees his home-directory ?

[17:32] <scaredoflife> Hey guys, I'm reading some chmod tutorials and I'm wondering: chmod 642 foo.txt produces the following premissions:
[17:32] <scaredoflife> rw- r--  -w-
[17:32] <scaredoflife>  ?
[17:33] <daftykins> poizen: totally pointless unless you require bleeding edge hardware support
[17:33] <xangua> poizen: look good what¿
[17:33] <imbezol> scaredoflife: yup. try it
[17:34] <poizen> daftykins, i agree with you, my bad, thanks for correcting
[17:34] <vanishing> scaredoflife: http://www.draac.com/chmodchart.html
[17:34] <poizen> xangua, I want my desktop to look good, perhaps something like rainmeter , new icons,
[17:34] <imbezol> scaredoflife: only having write permission is not common.. usually it would be read and write, or read only
[17:34] <poizen> i've already installed cinnamon desktop environment as I switched from linux mint it looks good
[17:34] <scaredoflife> thanks imbezol , vanishing . Just checking to make sure im understanding this right.

[17:35] <nikc> mount tells me that /etc/fstab is not writable daftykins
[17:35] <larsantos> hi dampil
[17:35] <vanishing> scaredoflife: you can also use things like "chmod u+x filename", where it means chmod grant user with exection on filename
[17:35] <stianhj> poizen: http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/themes
[17:35] <nikc> it also says
[17:35] <stianhj> poizen: kernel version doesn't change how anything "looks"
[17:36] <nikc> "/dev/sda1 on / type EXT4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[17:36] <scaredoflife> vanishing, and to delete a file I would write + execute permissions?

[17:38] <texla> vanishing, The update manager shows up to date system
[17:38] <stianhj> tyrog: or Unity?
[17:39] <squinty> texla:  synaptic > help > icon legend
[17:39] <tyrog> stianhj: Well I'm not sure which one would be better for touchscreen, therefore I asked :)
[17:41] <stianhj> tyrog: yeah I don't have a touchscreen but seem to recall reading something about latest Gnome. Test it out with a live usb? :)
[17:41] <texla> squinty, icon legend shows installed upgradable...so show it be safe to upgrade
[17:44] <m3n3chm0> dear all guys, any way to automatic loggin into Teamviewer ?? the checkbox is already enabled but I have to input my username&password always at startup
[17:45] <nikc> i cant even seem to get to recover mode
[17:46] <reisio> m3n3chm0: the internet knows
[17:47] <joshua__> anyone know how to gt a lexmark z645 to work?
[17:49] <Susning> Fuchs, Does this looks right? http://textdump.net/read/6080/
[17:49] <Cloroxygen> I'm not sure if the is exactly the best spot to ask, but I'm setting up a gateway for traffic control...see https://www.dropbox.com/s/89ugz2s7clprjty/settingupgateway.png?dl=0
[17:49] <Fuchs> Susning: there needs to be a ; before $SHELL as well, so it is executed after the command left of it
[17:49] <Cloroxygen> i can ssh in both directions, the gateway has the connection from eth0
[17:49] <Fuchs> Susning: aside from that, I think it does
[17:50] <Susning> Fuchs, so: Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e quicksfv -a ;$SHELL;
[17:50] <nikc> ok - so the way the problem manifests it's self is with "The disk drive / is not ready or present. Continue to wait or press S to skip or M for manual recovery"
[17:51] <Fuchs> Susning: actually I just remembered that this has an issue: it will not work due to quicksfv taking an argument  (a file), which has to be before the ; $SHELL
[17:51] <Fuchs> Susning: I'm still sure it's feasible, but I'd have to rethink how. But unfortuantely I have to leave for a bit as I have to go home from the office, so hopefully someone else can jump in here, as the rest shouldn't be too hard
[17:52] <Susning> Yes somehome which file I want to check needs to be "in there".
[17:52] <Susning> anyone else that want to give it a try?
[17:52] <Cloroxygen> i need help forwarding the connection from eth0 to eth1 so the clients on r1 can access the internet
[17:52] <Cloroxygen> https://www.dropbox.com/s/89ugz2s7clprjty/settingupgateway.png?dl=0
[17:53] <Susning> i have quicksfv which is a terminal application. i would like to associate sfv-files to open in quicksfv (in terminal) and i want it to show (not close) so i can see the result. some arguments needs to be in there as well.
[17:54] <Cloroxygen> brctl seems to cause the ssh connection to fail
[17:57] <Sc0tty-> hi all, I have ubuntu running in a VM, but I cannot ping any websites from the terminal. does anyone know why this is? I can open websites in the browser so it's not that
[17:58] <X1> hey guys, i am having some troubles with metasploit, i started it in the console the first time with "sudo", and the problem is now, that i cant start it with a user account correctly, so maybe you guys know how i can start it also as a user? thx!
[17:58] <X1> errors are for example, it cant load the database, and says i should better run in root etc.
[17:59] <daftykins> X1: what ubuntu version is this?
[17:59] <X1> or: 06-Oct-2014 ENGINE_by_id failed (crypto failure)
[17:59] <X1> daftykins: it is lubuntu 14.04
[17:59] <X1> DSO_load:could not load the shared library:dso.lib.c:244:
[17:59] <X1> dig: dst_lib_init: crypto failure
[17:59] <daftykins> well, i would have to say that issues with a framework such as metasploit are more things to ask them about
[17:59] <daftykins> rather than here
[18:00] <daftykins> also please don't paste things randomly
[18:00] <X1> daftykins: ok, i only wanted to show the errors
[18:00] <X1> on ubuntu-de they say it's like a "known-problem" wenn first starting as root, it causes problems
[18:01] <X1> does metasploit has it's own irc helping channel?
[18:01] <daftykins> i would've expected such a program to want to run as root most times anyway
[18:01] <daftykins> !alis | X1 you can have a search using this
