[00:07] <BTJustice> ouss: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' in terminal.
[00:14] <brainacid> Hye yall
[00:15] <brainacid> Im having this really crazy problem while using midnight commander Internal edit. I cant use the 'n' key... it starts pgdn
[00:15] <brainacid> or deletes crazy
[00:15] <brainacid> im so frustrated
[00:16] <Chuck_Norris> brainacid: sudo apt-get install ranger
[00:17] <xamxam> Hi, I have a folder of fonts and i want to install them all at once, what should i do?
[00:17] <brainacid> Chuck_Norris, ?
[00:17] <Chuck_Norris> brainacid: aptitude show ranger
[00:18] <CRYy0OKmKpJgc> xamxam: cp /fonts/folder/* /usr/share/fonts/
[00:18] <brainacid> hmm
[00:19] <xamxam> So, i should just copy paste entire folder into /usr/share/fonts directory?
[00:20] <brainacid> Chuck_Norris, this is a nice manager but .... oh well I guess I will use another editor i suppose...
[00:20] <brainacid> thanks Chuck_Norris
[00:21] <Chuck_Norris> brainacid: np:  Description: File manager with an ncurses frontend written in Python Ranger is a free console file manager that gives you greater flexibility and a good overview of your files without having to leave your *nix console. It visualizes the directory tree in two dimensions: the directory hierarchy on one, lists of files on the other, with a preview to the right so you know where you'll be going.
[00:21] <Chuck_Norris> The default keys are similar to those of Vim, Emacs and Midnight Commander, though Ranger is easily controllable with just the arrow keys or the mouse.
[00:21] <Chuck_Norris> The program is written in Python and uses curses for the text-based user interface.
[00:21] <Chuck_Norris> Homepage: http://ranger.nongnu.org/
[00:21] <Chuck_Norris> oh! sry
[00:22] <xamxam> CRYy0OKmKpJgc: should i type that command in terminal?
[00:22] <brainacid> Chuck_Norris, its all good I like it but I spent a good time learning mc, but i can learn a new one now
[00:22] <brainacid> :)
[00:22] <brainacid> python very nice
[00:22] <Chuck_Norris> yep
[00:23] <CRYy0OKmKpJgc> xamxam: yes, it is a terminal command
[00:24] <EriC^^> brainacid: scite is a cool editor
[00:24] <Chuck_Norris> it got good features like, for example if you do select a video then press <enter> it will call a video players for reprocude that video, in my case "rangers" calls "mplayer"
[00:24] <brainacid> hey EriC^^ yeah I checked it out a while back
[00:24] <brainacid> nice
[00:24] <EriC^^> brainacid: i've not tried it that much though but it has syntax highlighting and it installs with little dependencies, it's perfect for a minimal install or something
[00:25] <xamxam> CRYy0OKmKpJgc: permission denied, i dont think it executed successfully.
[00:26] <CRYy0OKmKpJgc> xamxam: run it as root or put 'sudo' in front of it
[00:26] <brainacid> EriC^^, yeah thats what I try to have now, minimal... although I have 1/3 of a TB
[00:26] <kop> I need to run <pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover> just after boot but "conventional" means arn't working . Options please ?
[00:27] <xamxam> ok, it completed successfully, now if i want to use any of these fonts, would those be readily available or will i have to type something which will do this?
[00:28] <umarmukthar> Where to learn all techniques of becoming a pro in Linux
[00:29] <CRYy0OKmKpJgc> read a lot of books. If you really want to push yourself, build your own linux
[00:30] <umarmukthar> Downloaded some books. But choosing the right one is a difficult task. !
[00:30] <xamxam> CRYy0OKmKpJgc: should i restart before i use these fonts?
[00:30] <pixelkat> ok so im trying to get minecraft working
[00:30] <pixelkat> any suggestions?
[00:30] <CRYy0OKmKpJgc> No one book will make you a pro
[00:30] <slyrus> I'm trying and failing to get proper ownership/permissions when mounting an ext4 volume on a USB drive by UUID
[00:30] <umarmukthar> For Nw i'm reading LInux for dummies..
[00:30] <CRYy0OKmKpJgc> xamxam: you can restart if you want, but you should only need to restart the particular application are trying to use.
[00:31] <slyrus> umask, gid, etc... appear to be "unrecognized mount point options"
[00:31] <xamxam> umarmukthar: you should try arch.
[00:32] <ikonia> pixelkat: yo've had suggestions 10 times now
[00:32] <EriC^^> slyrus: what are you trying to achieve?
[00:32] <ikonia> pixelkat: 1.) install a stable version 2.) use the jvm supplied by the distro
[00:32] <TomyLobo> how trustworthy is https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/trusty/current/trusty-server-cloudimg-i386-vagrant-disk1.box?
[00:32] <slyrus> EriC^^: I'm trying to have an external USB drive mount such that all users on the system can access it
[00:32] <TomyLobo> is it an official image or just hosted for a third party by the ubuntu project?
[00:33] <slyrus> I can plug it in and have it automount to /media/<user>/... but I'm trying to make an fstab entry such that it will automount on startup under, e.g., /mnt/stor1
[00:34] <pixelkat> ikonia i really want to keep using 15.04 though
[00:34] <ikonia> pixelkat: then learn how to use it, learn to use the correct channel (as you've been asked multiple times)
[00:35] <pixelkat> i thought this was the correct channel
[00:35] <pixelkat> ubuntu+1
[00:35] <ikonia> this is #ubuntu
[00:35] <pixelkat> whoops wrong channel
[00:36] <Crazy_Atheist> slyrus: /cs info #ubuntu+1
[00:36] <Crazy_Atheist> er
[00:36] <Crazy_Atheist> forgot i had stuff in my input
[00:37] <EriC^^> slyrus: not sure if you add users as an option if they can all read anything
[00:37] <EriC^^> slyrus: try the option "users"
[00:37] <EriC^^> they can all mount and unmount it, not sure about reading files they dont have permissions to though
[00:38] <gioans> #ubuntu
[00:38] <slyrus> I don't want them to mount it, I want it to be mounted at startup
[00:38] <xamxam> Why these persian fonts dont work on ubuntu? i have tried all means but these fonts just appear disconnected on facebook and other websites
[00:38] <slyrus> oh, nvm... it was the permission of the mounted dir...
[00:39] <CRYy0OKmKpJgc> xamxam: web sites are typically coded to use a specific font.
[00:39] <xamxam> they work fine on windows.
[00:40] <xamxam> CRYy0OKmKpJgc: I have no problems when i browse on windows. this problem is related to ubuntu i think.
[00:40] <gioans> #ubuntu
[00:40] <gioans> hello
[00:41] <xamxam> i have tried installing all windows fonts, but i think some of the messed up fonts are still there which is causing this issue. i have read somewhere that they just dont get rendered successfully in ubuntu.
[00:42] <gioans> i am new ubuntu
[00:45] <xamxam> also chrome is not using those fonts, why is that?
[00:46] <HerroWorlds> what kinda ide would popcorn-time use to dev their working guis that look near identical on mac, windows and linux?
[00:48] <Bashing-om> gioans: Welcome, you have a support question ?
[00:48] <HerroWorlds> ^^^^ i dooooooo
[00:49] <gioans> yes i am
[00:49] <gioans> i use ubuntu studio

[00:53] <HerroWorlds> http://bit.ly/13thwT2
[00:53] <HerroWorlds> there is my answer to it
[00:54] <squinty> HerroWorlds:  not acceptable  please leave
[00:55] <HerroWorlds> lol
[00:55] <squinty> gioans:  there is a #ubuntu-studio channel here on freenode
[01:03] <UpTil4Music> BTJustice: Fingers crossed, here goes nothing...
[01:09] <pixelkat> is it safe to upgrade to 14.10?
[01:09] <pixelkat> or should i just go to 14.04
[01:10] <somsip> pixelkat: from what version?
[01:10] <pixelkat> 13.10
[01:10] <daftykins> you said you were running 15.04 a minute ago
[01:10] <daftykins> pixelkat: which is it?
[01:11] <somsip> pixelkat: if you're happy not being on LTS, then maybe you'll be okay with 14.10. If not, 14.04 is the better supported of the two
[01:11] <pixelkat> i had a 13.10 dvd lying around
[01:11] <pixelkat> so i installed that
[01:11] <pixelkat> getting the upgrades now
[01:11] <pixelkat> internet speed is fixed
[01:11] <pixelkat> ill probably be able to run minecraft now
[01:11] <pixelkat> is it safe to go to 14.04?
[01:12] <basichash> should i be able to access root_path from my controllers?
[01:12] <pixelkat> i dont want anything breaking
[01:12] <pixelkat> all i need to do is record video and play minecraft
[01:12] <somsip> pixelkat: 14.04 is safe. Upgrades cannot alway be guaranteed. If you've just installed 13.10 from scratch, maybe best if you format and reinstall
[01:12] <pixelkat> oh and record audio
[01:12] <pixelkat> format and reinstall 14.04?
[01:13] <pixelkat> can i just dist-upgrade?
[01:13] <somsip> pixelkat: yes, and yes.
[01:13] <pixelkat> i love the smell of sriracha
[01:13] <pixelkat> ok ill ust dist-upgrade if it only takes me to 14.04
[01:13] <EriC^^> pixelkat: you need to do-release-upgrade not dist-upgrade
[01:13] <pixelkat> since ubuntuone is no more
[01:13] <pixelkat> ok
[01:14] <pixelkat> sudo apt-get install release-upgrade?
[01:14] <EriC^^> pixelkat: sudo do-release-upgrade
[01:14] <pixelkat> k
[01:15] <daftykins> pixelkat: that was really daft, you should've burnt a DVD/written a flash drive of a supported release.
[01:17] <stale> herro
[01:17] <pixelkat> oh herro
[01:17] <stale> :D
[01:17] <pixelkat> :D
[01:17] <stale> wondering if you can point me to the right person
[01:17] <stale> ><
[01:17] <somsip> !ask | stale
[01:18] <daftykins> you have to ask a question first.
[01:18] <stale> hmm
[01:18] <stale> k
[01:18] <EriC^^> stale: ubottu is our tribe leader
[01:18] <stale> how can i install a graphics card right if my cpu is an apu?
[01:18] <stale> thats my Q
[01:19] <EriC^^> your cpu is an apu?
[01:19] <stale> yes
[01:19] <stale> basically already has a graphics chip in it. i think its crap and i wanna see if a graphics card from an older system is any better
[01:20] <EriC^^> just plug it in i guess
[01:20] <stale> lol
[01:21] <stale> who has experience w amd apu's and discrete gpus?
[01:22] <compdoc> you mean running both in a system?
[01:22] <daftykins> stale: plug a card in. done.
[01:23] <stale> having both. disabling the integrated graphics and using the disrete
[01:23] <daftykins> it's auto
[01:23] <daftykins> just do it.
[01:23] <daftykins> read your motherboard manual for more
[01:23] <daftykins> stale: this question would be better off in ##hardware
[01:23] <stale> after i restarted my system after installing drivers n whatnot, ununtu wanted to start in low graphics mode
[01:23] <stale> so i let it. it didnt get anywhere
[01:24] <stale> thanks dafty. ill head there
[01:24] <EriC^^> stale: lspci
[01:24] <stale> ?
[01:24] <EriC^^> type that and see if it mentions it
[01:24] <isene> Used privoxy for a while as adblocker. Removed it (apt-get remove --purge privoxy) but there seems to be some underlying setting that is not removed. Firefox is set to use "system proxy settings" and won't dispay any pages unless I teel it to use "no proxy". w3m won't display any pages at all. How do I remove this "system proxy settings" that seems to remain after privoxy?
[01:25] <daftykins> what's wrong with setting 'no proxy' ?
[01:26] <isene> In firefox; No problem - but for other browsers that insist on using "system proxy settings", it cripples the browsers  like w3m and luakit. So, I want to fix this underlying issue
[01:28] <pixelkat> minecraft woot
[01:28] <pixelkat> cant wait to get it up and running
[01:28] <isene> Where are these systemwide proxy settings hidden?
[01:28] <pixelkat> has anyone used that installer from webupd8?
[01:28] <pixelkat> i cant get it working. no where to download the file
[01:29] <pixelkat> let me show you what im talking about maybe someone can help
[01:29] <pixelkat> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2052084
[01:29] <EriC^^> pixelkat: they are hidden in settings > network

[01:31] <Nidhoggr> Hi, anyone interested in doing a translation from Vietnamese to English for me? Tried using google.translate, but that just got weird
[01:31] <upsell5> EriC^^: is that a convention that whatever is in ~/bin will be in my path?
[01:31] <isene> EriC^^: I don't use unity or gnome, where do I get hold of these settings from the terminal?
[01:31] <EriC^^> upsell5: yup
[01:31] <upsell5> EriC^^: so I don’t have to set any permissions on it?
[01:31] <upsell5> what is this convention   ./some-file arg1
[01:31] <upsell5> the dot
[01:31] <upsell5> it runs a sh file?
[01:32] <EriC^^> upsell5: the dir? nope .profile will handle adding it to the path
[01:32] <EriC^^> upsell5: that's to say look in the current directory for ....
[01:32] <k1mmyyy_> hi guys, i reset my MBR using boot-repair, so now the grub menu with my different OS choices doesn't appear at boot, how can i get it to again? if i look in gparted only my windows partition has the boot flag, do i just need to set my ubuntu boot partition to have the boot flag or do somethnig more?
[01:32] <daftykins> EriC^^: i took the Windows portion with k1mmyyy_ to PM and booted media to chkdsk the volumes, apparently it completed but it's still bust - so i gave up, i believe k1mmyyy_ wants to restore GRUB to still be able to boot Ubuntu now :)
[01:33] <upsell5> EriC^^: i see it online in tutorials, to run an .sh file
[01:33] <upsell5> ok
[01:33] <EriC^^> daftykins: oh ok :)
[01:33] <k1mmyyy_> haha thanks daftykins
[01:33] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: should be pretty simple right?
[01:33] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: yeah
[01:33] <k1mmyyy_> i'm in the liveUSB now
[01:33] <isene> EriC^^: I don't use unity or gnome, where do I get hold of these settings from the terminal?
[01:33] <EriC^^> ok sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[01:35] <isene> Seems installing privoxy has damaged my basic network settings somehow, somewhere
[01:35] <EriC^^> isene: not sure if you have this, try gsettings list-recursively | grep proxy
[01:36] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: paste.ubuntu.com/9592765
[01:36] <isene> EriC^^: I do - many lines... what do I look for?
[01:37] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
[01:37] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: yeah ok?
[01:37] <EriC^^> isene: ill try to modify mine and see which one changes
[01:38] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot
[01:38] <k1mmyyy_> yep
[01:38] <isene> EriC^^: wow, great Thanks.
[01:38] <EriC^^> isene: org.gnome.system.proxy.http host 'bla'
[01:39] <EriC^^> those ones change
[01:39] <isene> EriC^^: Mine says org.gnome.system.proxy.http host ''
[01:39] <EriC^^> isene: you also have to set this org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'manual'
[01:40] <EriC^^> isene: gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode manual
[01:40] <EriC^^> isene: that's how you set it to manual, you can do the same for other ones to set the host and other stuff
[01:40] <isene> EriC^^: Mine: org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'none'
[01:41] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: what next?
[01:41] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: for i in /dev /dev/pts /sys /proc /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[01:42] <pixelkat> ok so i clicked to make a program executable but it still opens with gedit
[01:42] <pixelkat> what do?
[01:43] <EriC^^> pixelkat: it's not really recommended
[01:43] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: yep, what next?
[01:43] <EriC^^> pixelkat: you can install something that opens a terminal with the directory you're in as the pwd
[01:43] <EriC^^> pixelkat: like right click open terminal here
[01:43] <isene> EriC^^: Ok, I set it to manual. Now as an interesting side note; I haven't used w3m since before I installed and unistalled privoxy. In the meantime, w3m has set "Use proxy" to 'yes' and "URL of http proxy host" to "<IP_ADDRESS>:8118" (the privoxy)
[01:44] <EriC^^> pixelkat: then ./script.sh
[01:44] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: sudo chroot /mnt
[01:44] <isene> EriC^^: After the setting to 'manual'... reboot?
[01:45] <EriC^^> *cwd
[01:45] <EriC^^> isene: no idea i've never used a proxy
[01:45] <EriC^^> :)
[01:45] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: okay, next?
[01:45] <isene> EriC^^: and you shouldn't ;-P
[01:45] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
[01:46] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: installation finished, no error...anything else?
[01:47] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: yes, update-grub
[01:47] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: yay! anything else?
[01:48] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: was windows picked up?
[01:48] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: yep, it was
[01:48] <daftykins> it needed a reinstall
[01:48] <EriC^^> ok, type exit
[01:48] <k1mmyyy_> "found windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1 and 2"
[01:48] <k1mmyyy_> daftykins: i haven't reinstalled it yet
[01:48] <daftykins> yeah i know
[01:48] <k1mmyyy_> sweet, reboot now?
[01:49] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: yeah
[01:49] <daftykins> dude i don't get how unable to follow convo you are XD
[01:49] <k1mmyyy_> EriC^^: i don't have to set any boot flags or anything?
[01:49] <EriC^^> k1mmyyy_: no grub is now in your mbr
[01:49] <EriC^^> lol
[01:49] <k1mmyyy_> sweeeeeeeeet
[01:49] <k1mmyyy_> thank you so much
[01:49] <EriC^^> no problem
[01:50] <TheBlackRussian> I got myself in a messy situation. I formatted my hard drives containing Ubuntu. When i boot up my computer instead of booting to Windows Vista it goes straight to Grub rescue. In order to bypass this i must diable my hard drive however that means i can delete ubuntu
[01:51] <BlueProtoman> Help!  I can't push to a remote git repo on Ubuntu 14.10!  I get this error: git-remote-https: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhogweed.so.2: undefined symbol: __gmpn_cnd_add_n  I was referred to this Debian thread https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753423 but I fear I may make things worse if I apply its advice.  What do I do?
[01:52] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: you lost me at however
[01:52] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: you have multiple hard drives?
[01:52] <TheBlackRussian> yes
[01:52] <EriC^^> ok the one with ubuntu was erased, and grub now shows?
[01:53] <TheBlackRussian> it says grub rescue
[01:53] <TheBlackRussian> when i turn my computer on
[01:53] <EriC^^> set the bios to boot the other one with windows
[01:54] <TheBlackRussian> i had to disable my hard drive in order to boot into windows vista because i couldnt bypass it
[01:54] <EriC^^> the mbr might still be in tact
[01:54] <isene> EriC^^: The proxy issue runs deeper yet - newsbeuter has stopped loading rss feeds since I removed privoxy :-(
[01:54] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: ok, so what's the problem?
[01:54] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: ah, no need to disable it, you can set it later in the boot order
[01:55] <TheBlackRussian> what do you mean eric
[01:55] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: press delete or esc when the pc boots, you'll get a bios screen, go to boot options, and change the boot order to have the drive with windows come before the other drive
[01:56] <TheBlackRussian> wouldnt that boot ubuntu as well?
[01:56] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: you might not get a bios screen with esc, if you get a menu try to see if theres bios setup or something and press that
[01:56] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: no, it will boot what it finds first and won't continue
[01:56] <TheBlackRussian> and from there on i can remove ubuntu without causing any problems?
[01:57] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: ubuntu is removed already, grub is still in the mbr
[01:57] <BTJustice> I seem to have lost sound in Ubuntu.  I have no audio icon and Sound Settings is missing.  What can I do to fix it?
[01:57] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: if you formatted the partitions ubuntu is gone
[01:57] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: but you need to delete the partitions and create ntfs partitions instead to use them with windows
[01:58] <TheBlackRussian> do i need to run easybcd?
[01:58] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: no, you can do this with diskpart in windows
[01:58] <EriC^^> not sure if disk management in the control panel can do it too, it might
[01:58] <TheBlackRussian> i already created a new hard drive however grub is still in it
[01:59] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: yes it's in the mbr ( the first 512 bytes )
[01:59] <EriC^^> it's what the bios looks at that's all, it wont affect anything else
[01:59] <TheBlackRussian> can i delete that mbr
[01:59] <basichash> If i have an articles model and a has_and_belongs_to_many relationship between the two models, how do I add a category to an article in a form?
[01:59] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: lol, ok
[02:00] <basichash> i.e. what name would the checkbox have?
[02:00] <TheBlackRussian> you know what, i just try what you said. If nothing works i will return
[02:00] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: boot a live usb and type dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1
[02:00] <EriC^^> TheBlackRussian: ok, good, nevermind the dd command
[02:01] <TheBlackRussian> be right back
[02:01] <EriC^^> ok
[02:02] <BTJustice> I seem to have lost sound in Ubuntu.  I have no audio icon and Sound Settings is missing.  What can I do to fix it?
[02:03] <OerHeks> BTJustice, start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[02:05] <BTJustice> OerHeks:  I am going through that now.  My sound card is present.
[02:06] <jdfskitz> Hello, is there anybody online here that may be able to assist me
[02:06] <somsip> !ask  | jdfskitz
[02:08] <djkalypso> im new to using byobu and for some reason vertical split doesn't work for me when i press ctrl f2 but horizontal split works fine when i press shift f2 can anyone help?
[02:09] <jdfskitz> I installed Xubuntu on my Lenovo Ideapad y500 and the only way I can get into the OS, the one I have set up is to A.) set my boot option to my Atheros Network, which doesn't bother me.. but gets me to the grub, B.) When I get to the grub menu I have to go through advanced options and choose the Repair option(I don't remember what it's called) and then choose Resume in order to make it to the OS | If I choose to boot the OS normally without
[02:09] <jdfskitz> doing these steps I get a blank screen as well as if I don't go through the repair option in the advanced options menu.
[02:10] <djkalypso> when i press ctrl f2 in byobu it splits the screen vertically but it blank and can't switch to it or type anything into it.
[02:11] <somsip> !nomodeset | jdfskitz
[02:12] <jdfskitz> so in other words, it's not the grub's fault?
[02:13] <somsip> jdfskitz: in other words, there is a very common fix which works often and is worth trying before you spend time looking for other sources for the problem
[02:17] <jdfskitz> Thank you, I will give it a shot
[02:18] <djkalypso> no one uses byobu terminal?
[02:18] <BTJustice> Damn.  The Ubuntu Sound Troubleshooting page yielded no results.
[02:19] <redban> chrome keeps asking me to sign in with my account time after time
[02:19] <jdfskitz> just wanted to say that it worked miracles and I'm in, I just need to get my video drivers again, Thank you :)
[02:19] <somsip> jdfskitz: np
[02:20] <redban> i get this error: https://imgur.com/BJ1fYZq
[02:20] <daftykins> redban: yep so check profile permissions or create a new profile
[02:20] <daftykins> that error even tells you!
[02:21] <jdfskitz> maybe they need to know how :)
[02:21] <redban> I sign up with my correct email and password, but still get it
[02:21] <daftykins> yeah but the question would be phrase as such if so.
[02:21] <daftykins> jdfskitz: i've been here quite a few years, i get how it works :P
[02:22] <daftykins> redban: entering an account has nothing to do with your *chrome profile* being writable or not.
[02:23] <jdfskitz> well again! Thank you, made my life so much easier. I'm off. Goodbye :)
[02:23] <redban> I don't understand, googlr profile?
[02:23] <daftykins> redban: browsers use profiles to manage user's data.
[02:23] <daftykins> redban: http://askubuntu.com/questions/299089/profile-error-when-launching-google-chrome
[02:24] <redban> thanks daftykins
[02:27] <BTJustice> I seem to have lost sound in Ubuntu.  I have no audio icon and Sound Settings is missing.  What can I do to fix it?
[02:27] <daftykins> reboot and test the guest session
[02:28] <bazhang> check that nothing is muted in alsamixer, try pavucontrol/padevchooser BTJustice
[02:28] <BTJustice> alsamixer in terminal shows the card and volume sliders
[02:28] <bazhang> what is pcm set to
[02:29] <BTJustice> 99<>99
[02:29] <bazhang> dial it down to 80
[02:29] <BTJustice> ok
[02:29] <BTJustice> 80<>80
[02:30] <BTJustice> Still no sound :(
[02:31] <bazhang> what about using pavucontrol
[02:32] <BTJustice> bazhang:  It's not installed.
[02:33] <daftykins> install it...
[02:35] <bazhang> BTJustice, install it, also check padevchooser
[02:35] <kasad> guys, how ubuntu behaves with that option I remember, to install it in windows, for people who want to try it out
[02:35] <kasad> I am doing favour to friend, he wants to outfit his old laptop (core 2 duo, 2 gig ram) for his mother
[02:35] <bazhang> kasad avoid wubi
[02:35] <Darknet> kasad just put the dvd in, and reboot. then use the demo.
[02:35] <daftykins> kasad: never use WUBI, it's the devil incarnate in software.
[02:35] <kasad> she basically needs, skype/web surfing (fb and youtube specifically) and that's about it
[02:35] <bazhang> kasad either vm or dual boot, never wubi
[02:35] <Darknet> ^
[02:35] <Darknet> never wubi
[02:36] <kasad> yeah, I don't like the idea of wubi either
[02:36] <daftykins> flash with ubuntu will be a hassle if you provide that
[02:36] <bazhang> vbox it then kasad
[02:36] <daftykins> might want to put chrome on with pepperflash
[02:36] <kasad> but I am not sure if she will like it
[02:36] <kasad> what's the easiset way to virtualize their current machine?
[02:36] <bazhang> vbox
[02:36] <BTJustice> bazhang:  indicator-sound-gtk2 appears to be the culprit.
[02:37] <BTJustice> http://pastebin.com/ibvxwHRg
[02:37] <kasad> do I have to run it from other machine or make a boot cd, or it will behave nicely even tho it's virtualizing system drive?
[02:37] <bazhang> kasad point vbox to the iso, load it and go
[02:37] <kasad> wait, now you lost me
[02:38] <bazhang> kasad install virtualbox
[02:38] <kasad> I am talking about virtualizing their existing winxp
[02:38] <bazhang> kasad then get the ubuntu iso
[02:38] <daftykins> XP should not be used at all, let alone VM'd
[02:38] <daftykins> it is a dead OS, let it die.
[02:38] <bazhang> kasad or whatever iso
[02:38] <kasad> yeah  but they have some stuff on it
[02:38] <daftykins> so take the data off
[02:38] <kasad> and i'd hate to go trough everything
[02:38] <kasad> it's in total chaos
[02:38] <daftykins> oh come on, XP has my documents... back that up :)
[02:38] <bazhang> kasad try in #vbox
[02:39] <kasad> so virtualizing would be great option, now I did manage to virtualize win7 once without problems
[02:39] <BTJustice> kasad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcw25WleOs4
[02:39] <kasad> I can't remember the name of software I used, I think it was something like disk2vhd
[02:39] <bazhang> kasad yes that would do
[02:39] <kasad> then I converted vhd
[02:39] <kasad> but I can't remember the name of software for the life of me
[02:40] <kasad> anyhow, I'll figure it out
[02:40] <kasad> which flavour of ubuntu do you recommend
[02:40] <Darknet> latest
[02:40] <kasad> for core 2 duo with 2 gig of ram
[02:40] <kasad> so no lubuntu or similar
[02:40] <daftykins> xubuntu
[02:40] <Darknet> nah
[02:40] <kasad> idea is to run as fast as possible
[02:40] <Darknet> 12.04 maybe
[02:40] <Darknet> puppy linux is the smallest
[02:40] <daftykins> no, 14.04.1 xubuntu
[02:40] <kasad> that was the requirement from friend
[02:40] <Darknet> this is gonna be fast
[02:41] <BTJustice> kasad:  Ubuntu MATE 14.04.1 LTS
[02:41] <daftykins> ^ MATE is also a good idea
[02:41] <kasad> gotcha
[02:41] <daftykins> just see what your user finds easiest to work with
[02:42] <kasad> I remember trying xubuntu and it looked really poor, (it was fast tho) but that was like 7 years ago, maybe 6
[02:42] <BTJustice> https://ubuntu-mate.org/
[02:42] <BTJustice> But get 14.04.1 LTS not 14.10
[02:42] <kasad> well my user will be my friends mother who has no clue
[02:42] <kasad> she will literally have 3 icons on desktop
[02:42] <daftykins> then yeah you ought to try these things from a flash drive rather than commit to something ahead of time
[02:43] <daftykins> or you should provide a supported windows version so that they're not out of their depth
[02:43] <daftykins> forcing unknowning users to Linux is not always wise
[02:43] <fedorafan> BTJustice is it running fine now
[02:43] <kasad> skype, chromium shorctucts to youtube and facebook so she doesn't have to open chromium then type the address
[02:43] <fedorafan> audio
[02:43] <kasad> thing is her son (my friend) is kinda in a bind
[02:43] <daftykins> that's what bookmarks are for.
[02:43] <BTJustice> fedorafan:  I Y'd the selection I linked to pastebin earlier.  It's isntalling.
[02:43] <daftykins> kasad: how's that?
[02:43] <fedorafan> allright
[02:43] <kasad> he is great guy, and work(ed) as a cop, only guy in my country to complete FBI training
[02:43] <kasad> and he was invited by FBI
[02:44] <daftykins> kasad: ok but how does that possibly relate to running Linux...
[02:44] <kasad> not selected by officials in my country, but trough american embassy
[02:44] <BTJustice> fedorafan:  I'd love to try Fedora sometime, but I wish they did LTS versions like Ubuntu does.
[02:44] <fedorafan> hmm
[02:44] <fedorafan> what is LTS
[02:44] <kasad> and now, since he was meant to be advanced from his position as chief of police station in the city of Kotor to basicaly 2nd guy in hwole police (and fight corruption)
[02:44] <BTJustice> Long Term Support.
[02:44] <wafflej0ck> !lts | fedorafan
[02:44] <somsip> !lts | fedorafan
[02:44] <fedorafan> ahhh thanks
[02:45] <BTJustice> Current 14.04.1 LTS of Ubuntu is until 2019.
[02:45] <kasad> dirty politicans attacket him and currently are trying to smear his name in media
[02:45] <somsip> !ot | kasad (enough now)
[02:45] <fedorafan> wow thats cool
[02:45] <kasad> so whole setup is for his mother to be able to monitor what is going on
[02:45] <daftykins> kasad: sorry but this is completely irrelevant to this channel.
[02:45] <kasad> with false accusation against him
[02:45] <kasad> well it's not, I just said what is the purpose of build
[02:46] <BTJustice> Alright the sudo install is done.  Going to reboot.  I got my fingers crossed audio works again.  BRB.
[02:46] <somsip> kasad: off topic - stick to the subject or the ops will get involved
[02:46] <daftykins> we don't need their life history, kasad.
[02:46] <fedorafan> hope so too
[02:46] <kasad> I tend to get into details too much, I apologise
[02:46] <xamxam> I have figured out whats messing with my fonts, i have installed fonts but the permission it has is of root, which means i cant use them unless i am using an application as root
[02:47] <xamxam> how can i use them normally? please help
[02:47] <kasad> anyhow,  core 2 duo, 2 gig ram laptop, for worried non-tech-savvy mother so she can monitor few news sites, fb support site and yt (and use skype)
[02:47] <kasad> verdict is  https://ubuntu-mate.org/
[02:47] <daftykins> put a bunch of ISOs on a flash drive with YUMI on Windows, then you can try them all.
[02:47] <kasad> amirite?
[02:47] <daftykins> simple.
[02:47] <xamxam> i need to change rights of those fonts
[02:48] <SchrodingersScat> !permissions | xamxam
[02:48] <kasad> daftykins: was yumi suggestion ment for me?
[02:48] <daftykins> yes
[02:48] <daftykins> it allows a few different ISOs to be loaded up on the same flash drive
[02:49] <kasad> daftykins: I am also kinda in a hurry, I am going on a trip tomorrow, well already today, I have bus in the evening, so I need to finish this in say next 8-9 hours, so no time to experiment, I need to give him laptop today before I am gone (i will be back in 3-4 days but he needs it now)
[02:49] <BTJustice> That kind of worked.  I still have no audio, but hte icon is back.  It is grayed out with an X to the right of it.
[02:49] <kasad> that's why I came to ask, instead of testing distro by distro, and since I do use and love ubuntu (only I don't really use gui) thought you guys would give me best advice
[02:49] <daftykins> kasad: rushing a laptop reinstall doesn't seem wise.
[02:50] <BTJustice> kasad:  Ubuntu MATE is pretty damn good.  You'll like it.
[02:50] <kasad> agree, but I need to cook something for them, I can reinstall and try out different distros when I am back from hospital
[02:50] <kasad> ubuntu mate it is
[02:50] <kasad> thanks guys
[02:50] <xamxam> is there graphical method to do this thing? these file rights changing process seems rather complex
[02:51] <BTJustice> yw
[02:51] <kasad> <3
[02:51] <daftykins> xamxam: sure if you want to go one by one :P
[02:51] <daftykins> actually no that'd be too tedious to set up
[02:51] <daftykins> just run the commands.
[02:54] <xamxam> there is this sudo nautilus method, but its showing some error: " Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing."
[02:55] <OerHeks> xamxam, never run a gui-program with sudo, use gksudo
[02:56] <xamxam> ok. noted.
[02:59] <xamxam> well that worked :) Thank you!
[03:00] <OerHeks> xamxam, have fun
[03:04] <anonymousx> Anyone running ubuntu on an ssd?
[03:04] <tuxakadjseb> yes
[03:04] <nmatrix9> Yep
[03:04] <daftykins> yep
[03:04] <anonymousx> worth it?
[03:04] <cfhowlett> anonymousx, no polls please
[03:04] <nmatrix9> Though the display is fubar on my box
[03:04] <daftykins> SSDs are worth using everywhere, just know you'll never be able to go back after you've had a decent one
[03:05] <nmatrix9> Agreed
[03:05] <nmatrix9> Hell of lot lighter too
[03:05] <anonymousx> why do you guys run ubuntu? morality? free? customization?
[03:06]  * OerHeks can't afford windows 10
[03:06] <cfhowlett> anonymousx, this is a great topic .... for #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:06] <daftykins> it's great for my HTPC. i don't believe in desktop Linux.
[03:07] <anonymousx> cfhowlett: then what is this for?
[03:07] <cfhowlett> !ot | anonymousx
[03:08] <nmatrix9> I just reinstalled ubuntu on a ssd, when I reboot half the monitor looks like scrambled static,  thats the best way I could describe it.  Anyone experience that before?
[03:09] <daftykins> over HDMI?
[03:09] <BTJustice> Anyone know how to reinstall sound settings?
[03:11] <Bashing-om> nmatrix9: If you boot "rcovery" from grub, is the display any better ? ( maybe it us a grahics driver issue ) .
[03:13] <nmatrix9> Bashing-om trying that now
[03:19] <t0ntin> Hi, all. My screen shuts off completely when I try to play a youtube video using Chrome. I just went to the chrome extensions page using firefox and it shut off again. Anybody know why this is happening?
[03:20] <daftykins> define "shut off"
[03:21] <t0ntin> the screen loses power
[03:22] <cfhowlett> t0ntin, get an external monitor and test the YT again.  I have difficulty believing a YT video triggers an actual shutdown ... but I could be wrong
[03:23] <OerHeks> videocard heat issue?
[03:23] <cfhowlett> OerHeks, could be ... but INSTANT off??
[03:23] <t0ntin> cfhowlett: I don't have one :( There is no shutdown. The computer still runs when it happens.
[03:24] <daftykins> could be a bad driver
[03:24] <daftykins> t0ntin: do you hear the audio?
[03:24] <cfhowlett> t0ntin, do you have any non-internet videos to test with?
[03:25] <t0ntin> daftykins: yes, let's say i'm listening to an mp3 and I go to youtube. The screen shuts off and I still hear the mp3.
[03:26] <t0ntin> It does not happen on youtube using firefox, but it has happened in other web sites.
[03:26] <cfhowlett> t0ntin, and ONLY on internet videos??
[03:28] <t0ntin> no, i think it has something to do with flash because I went into the chrome extensions page and it happened. I just went to the main tumblr page. I was scrolling down to see what tumblr was about and close to the end of their slide show, it happened.
[03:28] <cfhowlett> t0ntin, could very well be flash related.  adobe no longer supports linux flash so either use html5 or find a F/Loss replacement.  flash is on its way out.
[03:29] <daftykins> try a clean browser profile
[03:29] <t0ntin> cfhowlett: so how would I use html5?
[03:30] <cfhowlett> t0ntin, you can select html5 on YT videos ... see their site
[03:30] <t0ntin> daftykins, how do I do that?
[03:30] <t0ntin> cfhowlett: oh cool, thanks.
[03:31] <cfhowlett> t0ntin, happy2help
[03:32] <daftykins> t0ntin: pass.
[03:32] <daftykins> google will bring up chrome profile management i'm sure
[03:42] <Jackster> I have a MAAS server in a ESXi host. I am adding a node, in the power option what do I put? Ty
[03:44] <daftykins> #ubuntu-server might be best if you don't get an answer
[03:45] <Jackster> found #maas :)
[04:05] <lagbox> anything i can look into for why any time i change volume (media buttons or panel) my audio starts locking up and skipping for like 2 seconds ?
[04:06] <lagbox> just started today
[04:08] <ridwan__> haloo
[04:09] <daftykins> hi
[04:18] <EiEiOhh> can anyone offer a link for a noob to install a driver?
[04:18] <daftykins> driver for what?
[04:19] <Aaron> EiEiOhh, specify the question, Please.
[04:19] <Bashing-om> EiEiOhh: Is there an over-riding reason the drivers available in the repository are not suitable ?
[04:19] <EiEiOhh> Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH its a TV Tuner
[04:20] <Aaron> lol,
[04:20] <Aaron> EiEiOhh, look for the driver in google, and see if they support Linux
[04:21] <EiEiOhh> I ran make  make install  modprobe but I get  Can't read private key
[04:22] <EiEiOhh> I found linux drivers on the Ceton website
[04:22] <Aaron> !tell EiEiOhh about pastebin
[04:22] <Aaron> EiEiOhh, pastebin the error and the dmesg
[04:23] <mreutman> Hey, so I'm just getting my feet wet with networking by running my own private home server, I have a quick security question though that my google-fu hasn't solved yet..
[04:23] <EiEiOhh> sorry 'bout that
[04:24] <mreutman> I generated a ssh key on my laptop, to securely  access my home server
[04:24] <Aaron> mreutman, just ask
[04:24] <mreutman> but what is to stop someone from generating their own key and then pushing it onto the server
[04:24] <mreutman> outside of the server's password?
[04:24] <mreutman> seems vulnerable to brute force attacks
[04:24] <daftykins> mreutman: are you saying you're disabling password auth and using key auth alone for SSH?
[04:25] <Aaron> mreutman, they won't crack it unless they know how to; and what are the odds that people are even interesting on your server?
[04:25] <Aaron> mreutman, then  test it your self;
[04:25] <mreutman> not likely, just curious however
[04:25] <daftykins> *interested in your server
[04:25] <mreutman> I'm firing up a vm now to test
[04:25] <Aaron> test ahead ;)
[04:25] <mreutman> but I thought I would ask and see if any of you gurus had some insight
[04:26] <Aaron> mreutman, try asking in #networking ;)
[04:26] <Aaron> mreutman, or google kali linux ;)
[04:26] <daftykins> mreutman: just follow standard sensible practices, don't use SSH on the default port... use strong passwords or key auth, don't allow root access (shouldn't be possible anyway since it's ubuntu with no root password) etc.
[04:26] <mreutman> ahhh, thanks for the direction Aaron
[04:26] <mreutman> I may poke my nose over there
[04:26] <mreutman> :^)
[04:26] <Aaron> that's for pen testers
[04:26] <Aaron> ;)
[04:27] <elc> Hi everyone
[04:27] <Aaron> hello elc
[04:28] <leonic> hello
[04:28] <leonic> i have problems whit flash  it work but crash every now and then

[04:29] <Aaron> leonic, open the firefox, in the terminal; and you'll see the Debug information when flash crashes and why it does
[04:30] <EiEiOhh> can I post a link to my form topic here? it has some details of what Ive tried
[04:30] <Aaron> EiEiOhh, just pastebin the output of dmesg
[04:30] <Aaron> and that yes you may paste the link for the pastebin
[04:30] <Aaron> *that's

[04:34] <Aaron> leonic, that might be a bug, so you have to pastebin the output from the terminal;
[04:34] <EiEiOhh> does dmsg keep a running log or does it clear itself out?

[04:34] <Aaron> EiEiOhh, go to cd /var/log
[04:34] <mreutman> it overwrites itself after it hits the max log
[04:34] <Aaron> there are all the logs, from the System it self
[04:38] <EiEiOhh> yike.. Im not sure which of these I need to post
[04:40] <mac_> hy all
[04:40] <kostkon> mac_, hi
[04:40] <mac_> new 14.4 was sucsses!
[04:41] <Aaron> thanks mac_
[04:41] <Blackhornet> Hi all, it's good to see Ubuntu still likes me. I have a fresh install and have been trying to install ubuntu restricted extras but I am getting this error - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9593562/
[04:41] <daftykins> thanks for what?
[04:41] <Aaron> for the success for, 14.4 ;)
[04:42] <daftykins> Blackhornet: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:42] <daftykins> it thinks you mean 3 different packages.
[04:42] <mac_> just a bit more tweaks.. and will be great os.. why does terminal window can't display (see through) is a mistery.. but this is not why i am here.. i am here because i installed Assault cube.. and.. no server list is updated.. impossible to play online?
[04:42] <daftykins> i don't know if that's even the current way for things.
[04:43] <Anoniem4l> greetings, i am trying to install a graphics driver (AMD) on a kubuntu. it can't find the kernel headers (specifically /usr/modules/3.13.0-43-generic/build/include/linux/version.h). I tried to find that file manually by executing: # locate version.h | grep 3.13.0; and i don't see anything related.
[04:44] <Anoniem4l> moreover, I searched for the kernel headers in the repo and it says i got it installed
[04:44] <Aaron> Anoniem4l, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:44] <Blackhornet> daftykins: Ah, silly me - Sure does make sense now :D
[04:44] <Aaron> and you'll be fine,
[04:44] <Anoniem4l> Aaron: done, 5 minutes ago.
[04:45] <Anoniem4l> It's fully up-to-date, both dist-upgrade and upgrade wise.
[04:45] <Aaron> Anoniem4l, try asking in #kubuntu
[04:45] <EriC^^> Anoniem4l: are you sure you have the right amd driver?
[04:45] <Anoniem4l> EriC^^: Yup.
[04:45] <Aaron> !kubuntu
[04:45] <EriC^^> Anoniem4l: i doubt
[04:46] <Anoniem4l> EriC^^: one moment, let me snapshot
[04:47] <Blackhornet> daftykins: But there still is a problem here, this is the output of: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras (http://paste.ubuntu.com/9593577/)
[04:47] <Aaron> Blackhornet, nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:47] <daftykins> Blackhornet: no you have a DNS issue :)
[04:47] <Anoniem4l> EriC^^: http://i.imgur.com/N0UerEJ.png
[04:47] <Aaron> and put a # infront of rr http://zw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe
[04:48] <kostkon> Blackhornet, you could also open your updater, click on Settings and then select a different server
[04:49] <Aaron> try also; apt-get update --fix-missing
[04:49] <daftykins> Aaron: with my respect it may be better to start simple. those mirrors are fine here
[04:49] <daftykins> Blackhornet: are you typing from the system you're running this on?
[04:49] <Aaron> daftykins, that's fine ;) boss no problem and thank you for the tip ;)
[04:50] <mac_> :-D
[04:50] <mac_> reading news.. hacker attacked again..
[04:50] <Blackhornet> daftykins: I'll be back, I'm going to restart my connection.
[04:50] <mac_> :-S
[04:50] <leonic> it not failinn right now is there  a place or a commant i can use
[04:50] <Aaron> mac_, is like saying a Programmer with out a Bug, is impossible ;)
[04:50] <daftykins> mac_: chat is ok in #ubuntu-offtopic but it's support only in here
[04:51] <leonic> to test flash _
[04:51] <mac_> lol.. hackers allways ataks.. why the news??
[04:51] <kostkon> leonic, youtube?
[04:51] <daftykins> mac_: take it to the other channel please.
[04:51] <mac_> sorry.. i am asking and waiting.. sorry..
[04:52] <mac_> didn't want to fall asleep
[04:52] <daftykins> you can keep the support here and chat the rubbish over there :)
[04:52] <EriC^^> Anoniem4l: that's kind of old, i think it's at 14 right now
[04:52] <EriC^^> Anoniem4l: try to download the latest one that supports your card
[04:52] <Anoniem4l> EriC^^: I saw a 16 in the repo as well
[04:53] <Anoniem4l> EriC^^: but, shouldn't there be a version.h kernel header?
[04:53] <Anoniem4l> for my own version, so be it?
[04:54] <EiEiOhh> is there an alternative to pastebin? I am getting "denies access"
[04:54] <Aaron> Anoniem4l, it should be you are just confused with the libraries linking
[04:54] <Aaron> !tell EiEiOhh about pastebin
[04:54] <Aaron> read the message EiEiOhh
[04:54] <EriC^^> Anoniem4l: nah i dont think there is any build/linux/version.h in the newer kernel headers
[04:55] <Anoniem4l> EriC^^: so the version of the driver is outdated then? because it was the only one available
[04:55] <Anoniem4l> (for my GPU)
[04:55] <Aaron> Anoniem4l, which release are you using?
[04:55] <Anoniem4l> kubuntu <IP_ADDRESS>-generic
[04:56] <installingubuntu> anybody know why the Encrypt ubuntu installation and the use LVM options might be grayed out in the installer?
[04:56] <EriC^^> Anoniem4l: sometimes you can patch it to work, there could be a better way or something else going on though
[04:56] <installingubuntu> I've got no clue, searched everywhere
[04:57] <daftykins> installingubuntu: install pastebinit and run "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" ?
[04:57] <Aaron> installingubuntu, when you in the installation you always read the tty terminals for any errors
[04:57] <EiEiOhh> I think this is the log that you need http://paste.ubuntu.com/9593637/
[04:57] <installingubuntu> how do I get to them? dmesg?
[04:57] <EriC^^> installingubuntu: did you checksum the iso?
[04:58] <Aaron> EiEiOhh, omg,
[04:58] <Aaron> 7 commands for what?
[04:59] <installingubuntu> here's the paste
[04:59] <installingubuntu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9593641/
[04:59] <Aaron> and also EiEiOhh who's this client that keep on connecting zamily84?
[04:59] <Anoniem4l> I asked in #kubuntu but it's inactive...
[05:00] <Aaron> Anoniem4l, afraik you'll have to  be patient;
[05:00] <daftykins> installingubuntu: which Windows is that?
[05:00] <Aaron> !next
[05:00] <installingubuntu> windows 7
[05:00] <Aaron> !next <reply> next $user
[05:00] <EiEiOhh> thats me maybe mysql?
[05:00] <daftykins> installingubuntu: that 1572MB partition isn't normal at all, you've not really got space to squeeze in ubuntu
[05:01] <daftykins> installingubuntu: or did you make that 21GB partition #3 for ubuntu?
[05:01] <Aaron> EiEiOhh, negative,
[05:01] <installingubuntu> there's 102gb unallocated...
[05:01] <installingubuntu> Or at least that's what it says in gparted.
[05:02] <daftykins> installingubuntu: that's not what i'm reading :)
[05:02] <Aaron> EiEiOhh, that user might be a Hacker,
[05:02] <installingubuntu> daftykins: so that partition isn't showing up?
[05:02] <Aaron> or who ever is using your system
[05:03] <daftykins> installingubuntu: didn't you check out the paste i had you make?
[05:03] <daftykins> all 3 are NTFS
[05:03] <EiEiOhh> I think it might be a user I set up.. its defiantly mine
[05:03] <installingubuntu> yeah that's really weird
[05:03] <EriC^^> daftykins: the disk size is 240gb though
[05:04] <installingubuntu> it was previously a fedora install, removed the lvm partitions that were in an extended using lvremove
[05:04] <EriC^^> installingubuntu: the unallocated space is between sda2 and sda3 that could be why you can't use lvm
[05:04] <EriC^^> ( i'm not sure just guessing here )
[05:04] <daftykins> EriC^^: installingubuntu - ah, my bad it's my late night eyes again. i read partition 3 ending at 240 and didn't add them up
[05:05] <Aaron> installingubuntu, how do you get to tty terminals?
[05:06] <installingubuntu> gparted screenshot: http://imgur.com/zabBdUT
[05:06] <installingubuntu> what do you mean?
[05:06] <daftykins> hah yeah that's messy
[05:07] <installingubuntu> daftykins: and I have no control over it...
[05:07] <daftykins> installingubuntu: why not burn the discs or backup that recovery partition then kill it?
[05:07] <installingubuntu> daftykins: thought about it, never got around to it
[05:08] <daftykins> now's the time!
[05:08] <Aaron> lol
[05:08] <installingubuntu> how would that relate to the installer's problems
[05:08] <daftykins> because your disk wouldn't be a mess
[05:08] <Aaron> installingubuntu, install it with virtualbox and report it to the team,
[05:09] <installingubuntu> Aaron: you said something about tty terminals? would they have a log?
[05:09] <installingubuntu> Aaron: how would I see them?
[05:09] <Aaron> installingubuntu, yeah try pressing f1 to f7
[05:09] <Aaron> and see if there are any errors;
[05:10] <installingubuntu> Aaron: when should they be pressed?
[05:10] <Aaron> installingubuntu, ctrl + alt + f1
[05:11] <gshmu> ctrl + alt + f7
[05:11] <Aaron> the tty 7 is for X
[05:11] <Aaron> reserve for the X
[05:11] <Aaron> ;)
[05:11] <EiEiOhh> I think the COMMANDS are me installing what I thought I needed to install the drivres
[05:11] <Aaron> EiEiOhh, double check;
[05:11] <Aaron> if that's really you;
[05:12] <karstensrage> how do you get a newer version of apache to fit the way apt-get installs apache httpd
[05:12] <Aaron> karstensrage, you'll have to make apt-get dist-upgrade afraid;
[05:13] <daftykins> karstensrage: you want a newer version than is available in the repos?
[05:13] <Aaron> since if you install apache, new version might need lots of dependencies and that will brake your system
[05:13] <karstensrage> yeah i
[05:13] <daftykins> my bike has brakes.
[05:13] <karstensrage> do
[05:14] <EriC^^> Aaron: dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade the release.
[05:14] <Aaron> EriC^^, it will update the currently packages install on the system ;)
[05:14] <daftykins> Aaron: you've been giving some pretty questionable 'advice' since you joined.
[05:14] <installingubuntu> okay, went there, stupidly pressed startx instead of ctrl-alt-f7 and can't see the messages
[05:14] <Aaron> daftykins, /whois Aaron
[05:14] <Aaron> ;)
[05:15] <daftykins> Aaron: irrelevant.
[05:15] <Aaron> indeed ;)
[05:15] <installingubuntu> any way to get those same messages back?
[05:15] <EriC^^> Aaron: i thought you meant that cause that's what makes sense going by what you adviced
[05:15] <EiEiOhh> yes.. that's me. The manufacturers site said I needed build essential, GCC, PERL, kernal headers kernel pachage
[05:15] <EriC^^> *advised
[05:16] <Aaron> EriC^^, making senses is researching your error before asking ;)
[05:16] <installingubuntu> Aaron: what should I be looking for in the tty?
[05:17] <karstensrage> so nothing i can do
[05:17] <karstensrage> ?
[05:17] <Aaron> installingubuntu, what happen to your installation?
[05:17] <Aaron> did something when wrong?
[05:17] <EriC^^> Aaron: you leave me speechless, make sense of that as you wish ;)
[05:18] <installingubuntu> Aaron: what installation?
[05:18] <Aaron> installingubuntu, are you booting from the installation right now?
[05:18] <installingubuntu> Aaron: liveusb
[05:19] <Aaron> then recover the partition
[05:19] <Aaron> if you want to get back to fedora,
[05:19] <Aaron> or ask in #fedora
[05:19] <installingubuntu> Aaron: I nuked the fedora partition.
[05:19] <daftykins> karstensrage: what version are you on?
[05:20] <installingubuntu> Aaron: That's irrelevent too. Error happened before fedora
[05:20] <karstensrage> 12.04.5 LTS
[05:20] <installingubuntu> Aaron: screenshot of the installer http://imgur.com/9HVPDsz
[05:20] <Aaron> Okay so far so good,
[05:20] <karstensrage> will updating to 14.04 mess up anything i currently have
[05:21] <Aaron> installingubuntu, what's your error, or concern?
[05:21] <daftykins> karstensrage: you could mess with PPAs but you'd be better off running a newer version.
[05:21] <karstensrage> daftykins, ok
[05:21] <Aaron> and please be specific installingubuntu
[05:22] <installingubuntu> Aaron: if you look at the screenshot:http://i.imgur.com/9HVPDsz.png you'll see that there are two options that are grayed out.
[05:22] <Aaron> Yeah the encrypt, and the LVM,
[05:22] <installingubuntu> Aaron: I want to use them.
[05:23] <Aaron> first, you can either something else, and do it from scratch
[05:23] <installingubuntu> Aaron: that's my problem. What could cause this? what log should I look at?
[05:23] <Aaron> hit dmesg in any tty
[05:23] <Aaron> and you'll see any errors
[05:24] <installingubuntu> okay, grep *ERROR* on the dmesg?
[05:24] <Aaron> if you wish,
[05:24] <Aaron> or try dmesg -E  Enable printing messages to the console.
[05:26] <Spark> what software interprets the volume up/down multimedia keys?
[05:26] <Spark> is it some daemon running in X?
[05:26] <Spark> they don't appear to work from the console
[05:27] <Spark> however I'm not running gnome to my knowledge
[05:27] <Spark> just running .Xsession
[05:27] <Aaron> Spark, is because you'll need to configure the keyboard shortcuts
[05:28] <Aaron> System → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts. Find the "Volume up" and "Volume down" entries and click in the box to select the shortcut of your choosing.
[05:28] <Spark> Aaron: none of that exists if i'm not running a window manager though
[05:28] <Aaron> Spark, fresh install?
[05:28] <Spark> or are you saying do that just to configure whatever daemon is doing it
[05:28] <installingubuntu> these are the only two errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9593764/
[05:29] <Spark> it's a very customised machine
[05:29] <installingubuntu> Aaron:
[05:29] <Aaron> Spark,         xmodmap -pke > xmodmap.conf
[05:29] <Aaron> try that ;)
[05:29] <Spark> that's just hte mapping to keysyms
[05:29] <Spark> is there some x client listening to them and modifying the alsa mixer
[05:29] <Spark> actually not sure if pulseaudio fits into this somehow
[05:29] <installingubuntu> Aaron: the only errors I get are irrelevant the the partioning. They are errors with the gpu
[05:30] <Aaron> installingubuntu, try deleting those partitions if you don't have nothing important,
[05:30] <phunyguy> keyboard shortcuts are controlled by a running settings daemon like gnome-settings-daemon, etc/
[05:30] <installingubuntu> which partitions?
[05:30] <phunyguy> vor volume that is
[05:30] <Aaron> Spark, try adding sudo adduser username audio
[05:30] <Aaron> just in case this might help
[05:30] <phunyguy> Aaron: that command doesn't look correct
[05:30] <phunyguy> not at all.
[05:31] <phunyguy> Aaron: if you are going to have users sudo things, you should probably get the commands right... or hush.
[05:31] <Spark> phunyguy: gnome-settings-daemon isn't running though, nothing with gnome in the name is
[05:31] <Spark> is it built into Xorg htese days?
[05:31] <Aaron> phunyguy, that's adding the $home$User to the audio group;
[05:31] <Spark> that would be weird
[05:31] <installingubuntu> this isn't worth it
[05:31] <installingubuntu> could this be a bug?
[05:32] <phunyguy> Aaron: except it's not.
[05:32] <phunyguy> oh, I was thinking of useradd.
[05:32] <phunyguy> old habits ;)
[05:32] <phunyguy> carry on,.
[05:33] <phunyguy> but with that said, the user should already be in that group by default.
[05:33] <Aaron> phunyguy, negative,
[05:33] <phunyguy> are we talking about ubuntu?
[05:34] <EiEiOhh> So do you think I didnt need to install all of that stuff
[05:34] <Aaron> perhaps we are,
[05:34] <Spark> basically what i want to achieve is that the volume keys increase the volume by "more than 100%"
[05:34] <Spark> which can be done via pacmd
[05:34] <phunyguy> Spark: which version of ubuntu
[05:34] <Spark> this is precise
[05:34] <phunyguy> which desktop, etc
[05:34] <Spark> X = notion via .Xsesion
[05:34] <Spark> X + notion rateher
[05:34] <Spark> after christmas i'll be on trusty
[05:34] <phunyguy> do volume keys work at all?
[05:35] <Spark> yeah they work as intended
[05:35] <Spark> i'm trying to change their behaviour
[05:35] <Spark> i'm not sure exactly what htey're doing or how they're doing it
[05:35] <Spark> they probably are changing the alsa mixer levels directly
[05:35] <Spark> that's my guess
[05:35] <Spark> but pulse audio is also capable of doing that
[05:35] <phunyguy> here is what I do on xfce... I set the volume up key shortcut to sh -c "pactl set-sink-mute 0 false ; pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 -5%"
[05:36] <phunyguy> and volume down to...sh -c "pactl set-sink-mute 0 false ; pactl set-sink-volume 0 +5%"
[05:36] <Spark> yeah i used to do that on a previous version
[05:36] <Spark> except i used alsactl :)
[05:36] <phunyguy> I had them backwards
[05:36] <phunyguy> but you get the idea
[05:36] <Spark> but now there is already some software doing it
[05:36] <phunyguy> oh... well.
[05:36] <phunyguy> bummer.
[05:36] <Spark> i need to either modify it or disable it
[05:36] <phunyguy> probably pulse, no?
[05:37] <Spark> i don't think so because pulse volume control affects the master, speaker, and pcm levels
[05:37] <Spark> whereas the volume buttons just affect master
[05:37] <Spark> but it could still be pulse
[05:37] <phunyguy> see if you have a pulseaudio process running
[05:37] <Spark> yeah i do
[05:37] <phunyguy> then it is pulse.
[05:37] <phunyguy> try those commands in a terminal over and over again to see if you get 100+%
[05:37] <phunyguy> the +5 one
[05:38] <Spark> i can use pactl to get them
[05:38] <Spark> but then if i hit the volume up key, it resets it
[05:38] <phunyguy> then map the keyboard shortcut to do it for you and profit.
[05:38] <Spark> so i guess it can't be pulse, or if it is, it's interfering with itself
[05:38] <phunyguy> no pulse doesn't control keyboard shortcuts... something else is.... whatever your desktop is most likely.
[05:39] <Spark> i have no desktop
[05:39] <phunyguy> o.O
[05:39] <Spark> i'm running notion
[05:39] <daftykins> installingubuntu: you could follow - http://www.hecticgeek.com/2012/10/how-to-setup-encrypted-ubuntu-installation/
[05:39] <Spark> actually i better check i didn't implement it and just forget...
[05:39] <daftykins> actually that looks non-LVM
[05:39] <daftykins> ho-hum.
[05:39] <Spark> heh i did implement it, but now it's commented out :)
[05:40] <daftykins> i still think your recovery partition should be resolved.
[05:40] <Spark> i probably ocmmented out because of the other daemon watching those keys
[05:40] <phunyguy> Spark: very interesting.  Either way, you have something mapping the volume up and down keys... does notion come with a default config?
[05:40] <Spark> yeah i deleted it and wrote my own ;)
[05:40] <Spark> i grepped the whole lot, nothing binding those keys that isn't commented out
[05:41] <phunyguy> does it contain keybinding stuff for XF86VOL stuff or whatever it is called
[05:41] <Spark> oh but if i sigstop the wm the buttons stop working
[05:41] <phunyguy> XF86AUDIO is what it is
[05:41] <Spark> ah that sounds promising
[05:41] <Blackhornet> daftykins: Is this problem still something to do with DNS - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9593814/
[05:41] <Blackhornet> I am guessing that something is not set right on this fresh install as my other machines around are working with out a problem with my connection?
[05:42] <daftykins> Blackhornet: do you have the universe repos enabled?
[05:42] <Spark> phunyguy: ah i found it, it is in fact some code that i wrote and forgot about
[05:42] <Blackhornet> daftykins: Not sure, where would I check?
[05:42] <Spark> i'm doing amixer sset Master 5%+;;
[05:42] <Spark> so i'll just change that to the pactl equivalents
[05:43] <daftykins> Blackhornet: hang on i think the package just got renamed, are you on 14.04 did you say?
[05:43] <phunyguy> Spark: good deal.
[05:43] <Spark> some of this notion config i wrote in 2002 ;)
[05:43] <Spark> back when it was called ion
[05:44] <Blackhornet> daftykins: Yes, Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.1
[05:45] <daftykins> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras trusty
[05:45] <daftykins> there we go, it's in multiverse
[05:45] <daftykins> Blackhornet: wherever your program hides the software and sources program, find the multiverse repo and tick it to enable it, then update and install again
[05:46] <phunyguy> I need to go to bed.  Thanks everyone.  Aaron, again, I apologize, yes we are all non-paid helpers, even the ops... we all make mistakes from time to time.  Have a good night.
[05:46] <Blackhornet> daftykins: In the software center?
[05:46] <Aaron> like wise phunyguy
[05:47] <daftykins> Blackhornet: pass.
[05:49] <gioans> #ubuntu
[05:50] <gioans> hello
[05:50] <Blackhornet> daftykins: Well it has a multiverse tick box, but ts under the heading: Installable from CD-ROM/DVD?
[05:51] <daftykins> Blackhornet: well you can uncomment the /etc/apt/sources.list multiverse section, for the alternative method
[05:53] <Blackhornet> daftykins: I would not have the faintest idea of doing so.
[05:54] <daftykins> how?
[05:54] <daftykins> open a terminal, "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list"
[05:54] <daftykins> find the links under the 'multiverse' section and remove the # in front
[05:57] <lickalott> anyone ever have issues with copying larger files (7gb >) across a network to an NFS share?  It works fine out of the gate then slows to like 3mb/s at around 1.7 - 2.0 gb or so (copied).  Then it will just hang an become unresponsive.
[05:59] <Blackhornet> daftykins: This part? http://paste.ubuntu.com/9593887/
[06:00] <daftykins> lickalott: anything wrong with source or destination disk?
[06:00] <daftykins> Blackhornet: yep
[06:00] <daftykins> already has no hashes there, hopefully you already removed them 0o
[06:00] <Blackhornet> daftykins: And you say I must remove the ## in that section at the beginning?
[06:01] <Blackhornet> I thought so, I did not see any or change them
[06:01] <daftykins> well there should've been one per line before the 'deb' so if that's how it looks now, then it's fine as-is
[06:01] <daftykins> in which case it's weird that it's not finding the above package as it exists
[06:01] <daftykins> are you sure a "sudo apt-get update" works ok right now?
[06:01] <Blackhornet> One moment
[06:04] <Blackhornet> daftykins: Here's the output, it does not make sense? http://paste.ubuntu.com/9593913/
[06:04] <daftykins> Blackhornet: have you got the ubuntu disc in the drive still?
[06:05] <daftykins> you ought to disable the CD lines really
[06:05] <lickalott> daftykins, negative sir
[06:05] <daftykins> hmm no experience with NFS i'm afraid :(
[06:06] <Blackhornet> daftykins: I never installed with an ubuntu disk, I installed via USB. I will disable that in Software Center?
[06:08] <daftykins> Blackhornet: it doesn't mean a literal CD :) yeah, knock it out and re-run
[06:09] <sebastian> hi
[06:09] <daftykins> morning
[06:11] <sebastian> I'm new in ubuntu, how can I install java?
[06:12] <Blackhornet> daftykins: I don't get it, now it works and that unticked box was that way in the first place? http://paste.ubuntu.com/9593932/
[06:12] <Blackhornet> And down its downloading and installing Ubuntu Restricted Extras?
[06:12] <Blackhornet> *Now
[06:16] <daftykins> Blackhornet: *shrug* :)
[06:24] <Blackhornet> daftykins: Agreed! ;-)
[06:24] <Blackhornet> Anyway, thank you for your time and help, happy holidays..........

[06:47] <Smedles> hi all - my system (Dell XPS13) running Ubuntu 14.10  on resuming from suspend seemingly randomly, doesn't produce a picture on the secondary monitor. The monitor does power up. Ctrl-Alt-F1 followed by Ctrl-Alt-F7 fixes the picture
[06:47] <Smedles> any suggestions on what logs to capture to raise a meaningful ticket?
[06:47] <daftykins> ask Dell what they want :)
[06:48] <daftykins> i'm not sure if Xorg.0.log will show anything other than initial launch
[06:51] <Smedles> daftykins: doesn't appear to show anything unusual...
[06:52] <daftykins> Smedles: well my uncertainty was my point, i don't know if it'd continue to add anything there after a resume
[06:52] <daftykins> it may only log initial-run of X
[06:53] <daftykins> is it intel graphics only?
[06:53] <Smedles> yeah, intel graphics
[06:54] <Smedles> and monitor is connected vis displayport
[06:56] <Smedles> it's not the end of the world, but it's annoying :)
[06:56] <daftykins> yeah
[06:56] <daftykins> well, ask Dell - see what they want
[06:57] <daftykins> maybe it's a DP quirk that'll get fixed in time
[07:06] <Domgreg> Hello folks. I am having trouble getting my scanner to work. Can anyone help? Please message me.
[07:07] <bazhang> Domgreg, with simplescan?
[07:07] <Domgreg> Xsane
[07:07] <bazhang> tried simplescan yet?
[07:08] <Domgreg> No. I will though.
[07:09] <Domgreg> software centre doesnt seem to have it.
[07:09] <daftykins> what version?
[07:10] <daftykins> !info simple-scan
[07:11] <Domgreg> Thanks checking.
[07:14] <Domgreg> Ok. Both simple-scan and xsane say same thing. No scanner detected. I have an Epsom 4180 photo.

[08:33] <solars> hey, what's the easiest way to access a remote ubuntu desktop? I have ssh access.. had a vnc like tool but don't remember it's name
[08:34] <iptable> solars: vnc
[08:34] <PK2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9594495/
[08:34] <ToshiBoy> VNC or Teamviewer
[08:34] <iptable> solars: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers
[08:34] <solars> can I also access the running X?
[08:34] <iptable> solars: you can using x11vnc
[08:35] <solars> iptable, perfect, thanks
[08:35] <PK2> So, what to do?
[08:35] <iptable> PK2: why ask if you have been blacklisted. what have you been doing?
[08:36] <iptable> PK2: so looks like you cannot access the repos but can access other sites. Now the question is whether your ISP is running a transparent proxy blocking those
[08:36] <PK2> I just use my PC as normal
[08:36] <PK2> Well, I dk
[08:36] <PK2> I'm using ABSPLL
[08:36] <cedvan> Hello
[08:36] <iptable> PK2: I would not know
[08:36] <PK2> Should I contact their support?
[08:37] <cedvan> I need solution for connect on VPN ipsec please ?
[08:37] <iptable> PK2: wget www.linuxtoolz.net/libpython3.4_3.4.2-1_i386.deb
[08:37] <iptable> cedvan: client solution?
[08:37] <cedvan> yes

[08:39] <iptable> PK2: this is MY webserver and the file is there and downloadable.
[08:40] <PK2> :O
[08:40] <iptable> PK2: and no, I did not blacklist you on my server. Looks like you cannot download DEB files for some weird reason. Either 1. you DO have a local proxy, or 2. you have a proxy on your router, or 3. your ISP has a proxy and is doing something naughty trying to force you onto windows
[08:40] <cedvan> http://ppa.launchpad.net/werner-jaeger/ppa-werner-vpn/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[08:40] <PK2> ;o
[08:40] <iptable> cedvan: try the other link
[08:40] <PK2> 1) I don't have local proxy
[08:40] <cedvan> When apt update
[08:40] <PK2> 2) I don't
[08:40] <cedvan> ok
[08:40] <PK2> 3) I dk if he's trying to
[08:41] <iptable> PK2: in that case, your ISP most likely...
[08:41] <cedvan> Oh vpnc don't work, it demand a group name. I have only a key prepartage
[08:41] <iptable> PK2: contact their support, complain. get it escalated and good luck, sorry
[08:41] <PK2> Wait what
[08:41] <PK2> I can download it with my Win. 7 PC
[08:42] <PK2> Via Google Chrome
[08:42] <iptable> PK2: ? So it works on Win7 and doesn't work on Ubuntu? Is there some IP/IPv6/DNS differences between those?
[08:42] <PK2> IP diff. there is
[08:42] <PK2> The Ubuntu is <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:42] <PK2> and the Win. 7 is <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:43] <PK2> There's no DNS diffs.
[08:44] <PK2> And more weird, I can APT-GET INSTALL other pkgs.
[08:44] <PK2> It downloads correctly o.O
[08:44] <iptable> PK2: have you tried rebooting?
[08:45] <iptable> I find it odd that you cannot wget a file while others work...
[08:45] <PK2> OK I should try
[08:45] <solars> is it possible to create a vpn server through the network manager wizard?
[08:45] <PK2> Hmm
[08:45] <iptable> solars: ipsec? no.
[08:46] <solars> iptable, it can only be used as a client right? someone told me I can use it to set up a server as well
[08:46] <iptable> solars: not for ipsec from what I remember
[08:46] <solars> I just need a vpn that I can connect to remotely
[08:46] <iptable> well, not the GUI at least.
[08:46] <solars> to access servers at home
[08:46] <iptable> solars: how abotu ssh tunneling instead?
[08:47] <iptable> solars: more straight forward, save and works from more machines that are locked down.
[08:47] <MasterOfDisaster> solars: just NAT punching? what about IPv6?
[08:47] <iptable> as long as you can configure firefox socks5 proxy on your machine and run putty, you can tunnel via ssh
[08:47] <solars> it's different applications that have a lot of different connections (webservices) so ssh tunneling is a mess
[08:47] <solars> MasterOfDisaster, I don't know never tried
[08:48] <iptable> solars: IPv6 is not THAT wide yet, so you will find a lot of ISPs without support
[08:48] <solars> just need an easy setup so i can access these hosts as if they were here
[08:48] <iptable> solars: ssh tunnels though ... why a mess?
[08:48] <iptable> solars: you create a dynamic SSH tunnel and tell you firefox to use that tunnel. It's like being on the remote site for web and other TCP services
[08:48] <solars> iptable, because it's 10 different applications connecting to X different ports and I cannot always socksify the connection
[08:48] <solars> its not for browsing
[08:49] <MasterOfDisaster> solars: www.sixxs.net offers ipv6 connectivity. fast enough for a ssh connection, and many routers support their aiccu client.
[08:49] <iptable> solars: how about VNC over SSH tunnel?
[08:49] <iptable> solars: alternatively, install and use OpenVPN which is the easiest and safest solution
[08:50] <solars> I will use openvpn
[08:50] <iptable> solars: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#quick
[08:50] <solars> iptable, thanks a lot
[08:50] <iptable> no probs
[08:50] <MasterOfDisaster> solars: https://www.debian-administration.org/article/539/Setting_up_a_Layer_3_tunneling_VPN_with_using_OpenSSH
[08:51] <PK2> After rebooting the same happens
[08:51] <solars> MasterOfDisaster, thanks
[08:52] <iptable> PK2: so other packages download but not this one, and this package works from Win7?
[08:52] <PK2> Yes.. :(
[08:52] <PK2> Win. 7 can download that DEB pkg.
[08:52] <PK2> but Ubuntu can't
[08:52] <PK2> Both are on the same LAN
[08:52] <iptable> um, omething is not right. Check your router configuration. properly.
[08:53] <solars> MasterOfDisaster, if it is used as an interface, does this tunnel all the connections?
[08:53] <iptable> looks like some kind of filtering is in place, surely...
[08:53] <PK2> Well, I can see that the router hasn't blocked the DEB files
[08:53] <PK2> Or the other DEBs wouldn't download
[08:53] <cedvan> I don't understand VPNC, Where configure key pre shared ?
[08:53] <PK2> and I can too see that the router isn't blocking *python*.deb
[08:53] <iptable> PK2: there is a filter somewhere ot some proxy blocking based on something. Let's try something else... hold on.
[08:54] <solars> iptable, MasterOfDisaster hm I forgot that I would like to connect to this network from phone/tablet (android) as well.. I assume openvpn is the best solution then?
[08:55] <iptable> solars: yes. OpenVPN works well on android
[08:55] <PK2> ok
[08:55] <solars> iptable, alright
[08:55] <iptable> PK2:  wget -d --header="User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0) AppleWebKit/537.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1271.97 Safari/537.11" www.linuxtoolz.net/libpython3.4_3.4.2-1_i386.deb
[08:57] <PK2> AAAND: IT'S DOWNLOAD -_-
[08:57] <cedvan> please ? What is group in VPNC ? My admin in my office have no informations of group for vpn ipsec
[08:57] <iptable> PK2: yup, it's a transparent proxy filter on your router and/or ISP which blocks certain user-agents (browsers) for some files
[08:57] <PK2> :O
[08:58] <iptable> PK2: that's is rude, naughty and should be made illegal. It's saying "you cannot download this debian package unless you are doing it from windows" ...
[08:58] <PK2> :(((
[08:58] <PK2> I'm sure Router isn't doing it
[08:58] <iptable> PK2: what we have done to prove it, is, we have modified the user-agent string on your wget command to pretend it's a windows chrome box.
[08:58] <PK2> At least, I only have access to Router and I haven't configured it to do so.
[08:58] <PK2> It must have been my ISP :(
[08:59] <iptable> PK2: so now that we know what the problem is, you have 2 options, and I suggest you execute them both.
[08:59] <PK2> what are 'em ?
[08:59] <iptable> PK2: 1. save the user-agent string form above which worked, then modify the apt-get user-agent in the config to pretend it is windows (workaround).
[08:59] <PK2> Where can I modify the apt-get user-agent ?
[09:00] <iptable> PK2: 2. contact your ISP, both support and complaints line and give them a right bollocking. Save the steps required for reproduction of the issue and email it to support and complaints too to prove it is them
[09:00] <PK2> OK
[09:00] <iptable> PK2: for workaround: http://samhassell.com/apt-cant-see-sources-try-changing-the-user-agent/
[09:00] <PK2> I should do both
[09:00] <iptable> PK2: yes, do both.
[09:01] <PK2> OK
[09:01] <iptable> PK2: see the link I just sent. you. follow it and just modify the user-agent tot he string that worked.
[09:01] <iptable> Ok, that issue was more entertaining than I have originally anticipated. I was of a "user error" mindset when we started. I feel quite happy now :)
[09:02] <PK2> hmm :(
[09:02] <PK2> It made me unhappy
[09:02] <iptable> PK2: knowing what the issue is, is more than 50% of resolution. You should be happy. We have the root cause and the workaround.
[09:02] <iptable> unhappy = no route cause found, give up, no workaround and no solution
[09:03] <iptable> root cause, not route... been configuring routers for the last 2 hours...
[09:03] <PK2> http://samhassell.com/apt-cant-see-sources-try-changing-the-user-agent/
[09:03] <PK2> none@userver:~/tmp$ sudo cp /etc/apt/apt.conf ./
[09:03] <PK2> cp: cannot stat ‘/etc/apt/apt.conf’: No such file or directory
[09:03] <PK2> Another problem arises
[09:03] <iptable> PK2: nope, as per the manual, point 1. "Create and edit@
[09:04] <PK2> OK
[09:04] <iptable> PK2: apt-get doesn't have a config file by default. it uses it's defaults for everything. you create a config and put overwrites in it.
[09:06] <PK2> Magically it works now
[09:06] <PK2> :o
[09:06] <PK2> After following this guide :O
[09:07] <PK2> The firewall will think it's a Windows trying to download stuff
[09:07] <iptable> PK2: there we go :) But please, DO follow point 2 - complaint to ISP on all fronts
[09:07] <iptable> PK2: don't just use the workaround and let them get away with it
[09:07] <iptable> justice!
[09:07] <PK2> I'd contact the support today!
[09:07] <PK2> And will reck 'em up
[09:07] <iptable> PK2: don't call
[09:07] <PK2> don't call?
[09:07] <iptable> PK2: email them. so you have proof of all communication
[09:08] <PK2> Okay
[09:08] <iptable> PK2: email complaints, customer service and support. Each email separate with full non-tech blurb of issue and full tech explanation of replicaiton and tests performed
[09:08] <PK2> OK
[09:09] <iptable> PK2: If they fail to resolve fast enough, you might (read your contract) have a right to ask for refund/discount or even complain to your Ofcom equivalent (gov communicaitons regulator) and get more.
[09:09] <PK2> ok
[09:09] <PK2> I'd try...
[09:10] <PK2> Thanks for all suppor

[09:10] <iptable> PK2: in UK, it's normally 30 days for broadband and 7 days for mobile communications. But read through and give it a shot. No worries, use Ubuntu, get great (free!) support from community
[09:10] <gdm85> hi there! I am having issues with the 'tar' command. Although the man page says that --ignored-failed-read shall not return a non-zero exit code, it does. any ideas?
[09:10] <PK2> Yea
[09:10] <josej> hola
[09:11] <iptable> gdm85: you just want it to return a 0 exit code?
[09:11] <gdm85> iptable: only in case of "file changed as we read it"
[09:11] <josej> alguien me puede decir como configurar amule  tiene la ID baja y tengo todos los puertos abiertos
[09:12] <PK2> Which language is this?
[09:12] <PK2> Spanish?
[09:12] <iptable> gdm85: the switch you mention is for unreadable files, not for "files changed during read"
[09:12] <iptable> gdm85: also, it's ignore-failed-read, not ignored-failed-read
[09:12] <josej> yes
[09:13] <iptable> !es |josej
[09:13] <gdm85> iptable: I mistyped, the command is specified correctly
[09:14] <iptable> gdm85 "don't exit with non-zero status on unreadable files" - that doesn't say "on file being written during read", but rather "on bad sectors and files locked form reading"
[09:14] <josej> join #ubuntu-es
[09:15] <iptable> josej: /join #ubuntu-es
[09:15] <iptable> the /
[09:16] <iptable> gdm85: what is the error message & code when tar reads files which are currently being written
[09:16] <iptable> oh. file changed as we read it. that one?
[09:17] <gdm85> iptable: yep. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=P1sjbpT8
[09:17] <gdm85> the second one I triggered it by moving around a file
[09:17] <gdm85> somebody advised me about this option, but I get it's not tailored for the file changed issue
[09:18] <gdm85> honestly I'd just switch to 7z if I could preserve all filesystem attributes, without tar in the middle
[09:18] <iptable> gdm85: try --warning=no-file-changed
[09:18] <gdm85> iptable: mh, that might work! thanks
[09:18] <iptable> gdm85: it will supress the warning about changed file, not sure, it might supress the error code too. haven't tested
[09:18] <phre4k> gdm85: tar.lzma is roughly the same as 7z, only the container is different.
[09:19] <phre4k> (joined 10:18 though, could've misunderstood the topic)
[09:19] <gdm85> phre4k: I am uncomfortable with tar's command line syntax (and I use CLIs all the day). I know there is an xckd about it, but really - I am ready to give it away any day :)
[09:19] <iptable> phre4k: to brief you in, question is: how to ignore tar's "file changed during read" message and make tar still return error code 0 on THAT message and only that message.
[09:19] <gdm85> phre4k: yes I usually go for xz
[09:20] <phre4k> gdm85: print a cheatsheet :D
[09:20] <gdm85> phre4k: it's the only command I fail at learning consistently :P
[09:20] <iptable> that's what the man pages are for
[09:20] <iptable> and man page search option using /term
[09:21] <gdm85> iptable: I know, but I don't like CLIs with specific parameter order requirements
[09:21] <gdm85> phre4k: by the way, instead of --ignore-failed-read I will go for --warning=no-file-changed as iptable suggested. the former was never what I wanted to use
[09:21] <phre4k> "I never remember whether tar xzvf or tar xzvf" :D
[09:22] <phre4k> gdm85: yeah, I think that's a good solution
[09:22] <iptable> without the -, it 'desn't matter
[09:22] <phre4k> ^ thatsthejoke.jpg
[09:23] <iptable> phre4k: gdm85 tar is trying to become sane nowadays. tar -zxvf for example is OLD and needs the correct order. tar zxvf and xzvf and vzxf will work as without - is the new way without syntax order. still, loads of syntax ordering for ignore dirs etc, but maybe one day...
[09:24] <phre4k> iptable: I know that ;) but yes, you're right. I think Linux CLI has come a great way in the past, I wish I could program reasonably well to help development.
[09:24] <phre4k> but I'm rather in IRC and supporting newbs than debugging that semicolon 3000 LOC ago
[09:24] <iptable> haha, yes
[09:25] <iptable> I like helping. We had a real good issue just before you joined. found that ISP was blocking certain files with deb extension (python*.deb) IF the user-agent is other than windows
[09:25] <iptable> phre4k: ^ makes me happy to find out and angry some ISP would even do that.
[09:25] <iptable> paid by Micro$oft?
[09:26] <iptable> workaround was changing user-agent in apt ;)
[09:26] <iptable> right, cofee time.
[09:32] <gdm85> iptable: or use SSL/TLS :P
[09:33] <iptable> gdm85: that will work if 1. your repo accepts ssl, 2. the ISP is not running a transparent SSL proxy which is possible nowadays
[09:33] <iptable> gdm85: all thanks to the SSL-SNI extension
[09:34] <gdm85> iptable: eh?
[09:34] <iptable> gdm85: ? the user had an ISP transparent proxy issue.
[09:35] <gdm85> iptable: so the client had installed custom CAs? that would make SSL not really mitm-proof
[09:36] <iptable> gdm85: no, the client did not have custom CAs
[09:37] <gdm85> iptable: your ISP cannot impersonate another website identity if you verify certificate chains and CAs
[09:37] <iptable> gdm85: besides, the repos did not serve https and the user would like a more permanent solution than hoping for SSL everywhere
[09:38] <iptable> gdm85: you ISP can do it if they enforce proxy use and push it's configs to you using 3rd party tools, the router that THEY own etc for example
[09:39] <iptable> gdm85: alternatively, a quiet redirect with passthrough using SNI would work, but you would notice that you get redirects to another URL. Like I said, lots of ways
[09:39] <iptable> gdm85: also, there is SSLsplit and SSLstrip. 2 more ways
[09:39] <gdm85> iptable: I am sorry but that's not how it works. if your client (wget, apt etc) verifies certificates you can't get a mitm on SSL
[09:39] <gdm85> we are talking here about apt or cli tools, no?
[09:39] <gdm85> it's != than browsers or mobile phones
[09:40] <iptable> gdm85: correct. read on sslsplit.
[09:40] <gdm85> iptable: you still need forged certificates. I am referring only to an (ideal) situation where you don't have a compromised set of CA certs, nor somebody can forge certs
[09:41] <iptable> gdm85: we are talking about an ISP who also happens to have a cert signing authority
[09:41] <iptable> besides, as stated, user-agent rewrite seems like a more permanent workaround for all possible software sources
[09:41] <gdm85> iptable: has the customer such CA in its /etc/ssl/certs (or equivalent)?
[09:42] <iptable> besides, as stated, user-agent rewrite seems like a more permanent workaround for all possible software sources
[09:42] <gdm85> I would prefer not allowing such ISP eyes pry
[09:42] <iptable> gdm85: ^ I'm not willing to entertain the issue any more forward with more information.
[09:43] <gdm85> it's not entertainment, I was reading misinformation. have a nice day! :)
[09:43] <iptable> gdm85: if an ISP blocks any part of my traffic, other than purely-illegal torrent sites (and that only by blacklisting IP access, not DNS/HTTP redirect voodoo), they are not worth my time.
[09:43] <gdm85> yeah I'd agree
[09:43] <iptable> I agree (while not happily) that blocking illegal movie downloads is OK, it is law.
[09:44] <Guest48279> bjr tt le monde
[09:44] <iptable> but python*.deb based on user-agent being other than windows? :D
[09:44] <Fuchs> Guest48279: English works better in here, and not abbreviated French probably in the French channels *nods*
[09:45] <theadmin> iptable: An ISP blocking a client simply because it's not Windows doesn't make any sense, to be honest.
[09:45] <gdm85> iptable: ^ see my previous question. if answer is no then ISP can't do nothing to mitm. and I am not a big fan of SSL/CAs, but at least let's not spoil it for what's working
[09:45] <theadmin> If they are, that's not a good ISP.
[09:45] <theadmin> Just get rid of them.
[09:45] <iptable> theadmin: I know!. But here we go: wget of all possible files works apart from some deb files. Tried everything, including putting those deb files on my own server. He get's 503 with those. WOrks from windows though. faking user-agent to widnows also starts to work :/
[09:46] <iptable> theadmin: not my ISP ;)
[09:46] <theadmin> iptable: Still get rid of them :P
[09:46] <iptable> theadmin: looks like python*.deb match for user-agent on a filter. If I could, I would fire all of them and hire someone with a brain :D
[09:46] <gdm85> yeah indeed. and use an SSL APT mirror. at least they can't check what you download
[09:47] <iptable> not that it matters if they know I downloaded apache :/
[09:47] <iptable> Not all mirrors of all packages have SSL, that's the point I was making. Besides, if machine is slow (or connection) SSL == overhead.
[09:48] <theadmin> ...not too much overhead.
[09:48] <iptable> *depends* ;)
[09:48] <iptable> anyways, points given and taken, boycott the ISP and move on :)
[09:49] <iptable> solution
[09:50] <iptable> oh ch.archive.ubuntu.com doesn't have HTTPS :/ Neither does gb.archive.ubuntu.com. So, user-agent is the only way.
[09:50] <Guest48279> hello
[09:50] <iptable> Hellol
[09:50] <Guest48279> how ar u
[09:51] <iptable> Querstion?
[09:51] <iptable> I'm ok
[09:52] <phre4k> iptable: blocking DEB files is horrible. I'd certainly quit this contract
[09:52] <Guest48279>  so  .  i   have each problem with my computer hp probook 4540 s
[09:53] <gdm85> it might also be a simple mistake in their smart firewall rules
[09:53] <iptable> phre4k: yes. So I advised the user to complain to support and complains line in email (proof of communication) and if they don't respond within contractual time, ask for refund/discount/cancellation
[09:53] <gdm85> that's why I wouldn't want to play whack-a-mole with them
[09:54] <iptable> gdm85: hard to misspell python*.deb && user-agent !~ ".*windows.*" :P But yes, it *could* be. hence I advised to complain first.
[09:55] <gdm85> iptable: I had once some hosts modifications that would block too much. it was a similar issue..
[09:55] <iptable> or they block it as python is a hacker tool :P Just like wget, dig and telnet :D
[09:55] <Guest48279>  inh .....
[09:55] <iptable> ah, good old time of silly corporate...
[09:55] <Guest48279> ssomeone can help me
[09:55] <Guest48279> ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?,?,?,?
[09:56] <iptable> gdm85: could be. but why user-agent type block! that's wrong. It blocks wget and apt user agent. you make it windows and it works.
[09:56] <gdm85> iptable: because you hack0rz!!11!! :P
[09:56] <iptable> Guest48279: Well, you need to tell us what the problem is first. Saying "I have a problem" doesn't make us know how to help you.
[09:57] <iptable> gdm85: haha, yes. wind0ws corporate (IT) policies ... gotta hate 'em.
[09:57] <gdm85> iptable: have customer tweet publicly about it. see their reply
[09:57] <gdm85> (nowadays that's the fastest lane)
[09:57] <Guest48279>  okay .  fine  .    i can use my wirless network with  ubuntu 12.04
[09:58] <theadmin> gdm85: What ISP is that? Just so I'll know to stay away from them :P
[09:58] <iptable> gdm85: now THAT is a good point.
[09:58] <phre4k> iptable: proves again many ISPs are mismanaged shitholes of data destruction and politics
[09:58] <gdm85> theadmin: iptable knows, not mine :P
[09:58] <theadmin> Oh.
[09:58] <iptable> can't remember. PK2 what's you ISP?
[09:58] <phre4k> have to go to work, cu there :D
[09:58] <PK2> Mine is ABSPL
[09:58] <phre4k> ah, great. Nothing from Germany. :D
[09:58] <phre4k> cul8r
[09:59] <theadmin> Well... Never heard of that. So probably won't run into it :P
[09:59] <nagromlt> no sound off speakers
[09:59] <nagromlt> just headphones
[09:59] <iptable> PK2: what country isthat?
[10:00] <theadmin> nagromlt: Unplug headphones?
[10:00] <nagromlt> want to BUMP Natasha Bedingfield
[10:00] <iptable> Guest48279: so you can use your wireless network. and?
[10:00] <PK2> India
[10:00] <PK2> I'm in India
[10:00] <iptable> oh
[10:00] <iptable> that explains a lot. India ISP...
[10:00] <Guest48279>  io don't see wirless option
[10:01] <iptable> Guest48279: what is your wireless network card?
[10:01] <Guest48279> realink 3290
[10:02] <iptable> Guest48279: let me google that for you. http://askubuntu.com/questions/455030/ralink-rt3290-wifi-driver-is-not-working-in-ubuntu-14-04
[10:06] <nagromlt> help with Ubuntu sound?
[10:06] <iptable> nagromlt: so you have sound in headphones but not via speakers?
[10:07] <nagromlt> yeah
[10:07] <iptable> nagromlt: is this a desktop or laptop? Are the speakers built-in?
[10:07] <nagromlt> iptable, yeah
[10:07] <iptable> nagromlt: yeah which one? desktop/laptop?
[10:07] <nagromlt> lap built in
[10:07] <nagromlt> hang on
[10:07] <iptable> ok. if you unplug headphones, do you get sound?
[10:08] <iptable> in speakers that is
[10:08] <iptable> nagromlt: ^
[10:08] <nagromlt> The program 'snd' can be found in the following packages:
[10:08] <nagromlt>  * snd-gtk-jack
[10:08] <nagromlt>  * snd-gtk-pulse
[10:08] <nagromlt>  * snd-nox
[10:08] <nagromlt> Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
[10:08] <iptable> nagromlt: do NOT install stuff just like that. You DO have sound in headphones, so obviously it works.
[10:09] <nagromlt> obv
[10:09] <iptable> nagromlt: so, if you unplug headphones, do you get sound in the speakers then?
[10:09] <nagromlt> just hard sound
[10:09] <nagromlt> no jinput
[10:09] <nagromlt> i guess
[10:09] <nagromlt> no jinput for 5sound
[10:09] <iptable> jinput?
[10:10] <iptable> wait, what's hard sound.
[10:10] <nagromlt> jscvksd?
[10:10] <nagromlt> jsnd?
[10:10] <nagromlt> wtvr it is
[10:10] <iptable> Can you please describe the issue EXACTLY?
[10:10] <nagromlt> how exactly
[10:10] <iptable> what's hard sound?
[10:10] <nagromlt> hardrvsnd
[10:10] <HP__> join #kiwiirc-default

[10:11] <nagromlt> gud
[10:12] <nagromlt> I needz to play it loud now.
[10:12] <iptable> you needz to talk normal, respond to questions and behave. Trust me on this.
[10:13] <iptable> So, if you unplug the headphones, does sound come out of speakers at all or not?
[10:14] <nagromlt> yes, sound,  sorry
[10:14] <nagromlt> hard sound only
[10:14] <iptable> waht is hard sound?
[10:14] <iptable> can you define that please?
[10:15] <nagromlt> seems
[10:15] <nagromlt> just sound out of hard speaker
[10:15] <nagromlt> (built in)
[10:16] <iptable> wait, what's a soft speaker then?
[10:16] <nagromlt> laptop
[10:16] <Guest48279>  thank i will try
[10:16] <nagromlt> intal celeron
[10:16] <iptable> can you please tell me everything. what works and what doesn't? you have
[10:16] <iptable> you are not helping yourself
[10:16] <nagromlt> Im being fucked with
[10:16] <iptable> 1. headphones in jack works, right?
[10:16] <iptable> 2. laptop built-in speaker works?
[10:16] <iptable> 3. what doesn't work?
[10:16] <nagromlt> iptable,   yeah
[10:16] <iptable> answer all 3
[10:17] <nagromlt> dpeaker 5.1
[10:17] <zhanglf> hi
[10:17] <nagromlt> ok
[10:17] <nagromlt> hang on
[10:17] <zhanglf> anyone here?
[10:17] <nagromlt> snd c heack?
[10:17] <nagromlt> you want snd check?
[10:17] <iptable> so what doesn't work is some external speakers you are putting in the headphone jack while sound works from built-in speakers and when you plugin headphones to that jack it works too?
[10:17] <nagromlt> or LAN chk?
[10:18] <nagromlt> jsound-in not yet
[10:18] <iptable> nagromlt: fix your speakers then. if headphones works and built-in speakers work, ubuntu works. your external speakers have a fault, are unplugged from power or incompatible.
[10:19] <nagromlt> saschpe?
[10:19] <iptable> now please have a lie down as you are not making sense.
[10:19] <nagromlt> whats that?

[10:20] <iptable> I'm done responding OerHeks ;)
[10:20] <nagromlt> type?
[10:21] <nagromlt> what is  a good command to let you know what my sound drivers are doing?
[10:21] <nagromlt> really

[10:25] <OerHeks> nagromlt, easy on the enter, buddy, you are flooding the servers.
[10:25] <nagromlt> ok
[10:25] <nagromlt> not trying to
[10:25] <nagromlt> damn
[10:25] <nagromlt> sign of?
[10:25] <phre4k> I'm back and I have a question :D
[10:25] <betehess_> hi, I am currently trying to reinstall Ubuntu, but my /home was encrypted and I don't know how to avoid re-formatting it (the Format? box stays checked)
[10:26] <iptable> betehess_: double-click on the /home to edit it and uncheck FOrmat.
[10:26] <iptable> phre4k: choot
[10:26] <iptable> shoot
[10:26] <phre4k> debconf-get-selections --installer doesn't work, the corresponding /var/log/installer/... files are size 0. Why that?  I have an existing Debian preseed file but I don't think it works
[10:27] <phre4k> iptable: yep, and I have modified some config files I may include in a .deb
[10:27] <betehess_> iptable: it stays grey even when I open the box. If I change to ext3, it's ungreyed, then I uncheck and validate, then it comes back checked and grey
[10:28] <phre4k> for now I'd package it and transfer via USB/rcp but in the future I want to to an apt-cache-ng server
[10:28] <Guest2> join #tps
[10:29] <iptable> betehess_: you are not supposed to change the filesystem. otherwise of course it will try to format
[10:29] <Fuchs> works a bit better with a / in front of it, Guest2
[10:30] <iptable> phre4k: dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall
[10:30] <betehess_> iptable: I don't want to change it (I always go back to ext4, which I've always used), I am just trying to outsmart the UI...
[10:30] <betehess_> iptable: don't know why, but it seems ok with /
[10:31] <iptable> betehess_: so, when you start installer, what changes have you done in the partitioner altogether? at what point did it mark as "format"?
[10:31] <iptable> betehess_: also, make sure you got the right partition in question and you saved the encryption key for your /home
[10:31] <LinuxNewb> i accidentally deleted the start menu button, how do i put it back on my lubuntu?
[10:31] <iptable> betehess_: alternative would be to mark /home as "do not use" and manually enable it after install, incuding encryption
[10:32] <jost> Hi! I'd like to move / and /boot to a new harddrive. How do I do that? In which grub configuration file do I have to set the UUIDs of the new partitions?
[10:32] <topand> hello
[10:32] <betehess_> iptable: I don't do anything special. I want to re-used the same formatting, so I first have sda1 as non encrypted /boot, then have sda{2,3,4} as physical encyrpted volumes
[10:33] <iptable> phre4k: a better way would be to use aptitude with aptitude search '~i!~M'. It will least manually installed packages instead. which is great.
[10:33] <topand> anyone know how fix dpkg error ?
[10:33] <betehess_> iptable: then I try to configure /, swap and /home
[10:33] <iptable> jost: you have to chroot to new drive installation and update-grub2. you need to mount /proc /sys and /dev first for the chroot.
[10:34] <iptable> betehess_: how did you choose to have /home encrypted? tickbox or dmcrypt?
[10:34]  * iptable goes for a breakd
[10:35] <Guest2> hi
[10:35] <LinuxNewb> so does anyone know
[10:35] <betehess_> iptable: ok, will try something else, I hope it will work
[10:37] <alkisg> If I `dd` ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64+mac.iso to a USB stick, is it supposed to be bootable under UEFI?
[10:37] <alkisg> I'm not seeing the required "EFI" subdirectory anywhere...
[10:40] <jost__> Sorry for the repetition, I'm having connection problems... I'd like to move / and /boot to a new harddrive. How do I do that? In which grub configuration file do I have to set the UUIDs of the new partitions?
[10:41] <alkisg> jost__: don't have much time to help you, but one easy way would be to use tune2fs to set the same uuid to those partitions, and then just run grub-install
[10:41] <jost__> alkisg: ok, I'll look into that, thanks
[10:49] <marshal0505>  /window move 13

[10:51] <phre4k> iptable: will aptitude list uninstalled packages, too?

[10:55] <nagromlt> lertrewntwern
[10:55] <phre4k> iptable: could I do the following? 1. dpkg --get-selections > .txt, 2. create preseed file for installer, 3. install previously exported packages via preseed plus self-packaged .DEB?
[10:55] <Ben64> cfhowlett: look into aria2 , segmented downloader, continues, lots of other cool features
[10:55] <phre4k> cfhowlett: if you use BitTorrent it'd work too
[10:56] <OerHeks> cfhowlett, jups, i just tested it
[10:56] <iptable> phre4k: not really. you will mark all dependencies to manually install
[10:57] <OerHeks> phre4k, behind that great wall, torrent is not possible as far as i know
[10:58] <phre4k> OerHeks: rent a VPN?
[10:58] <phre4k> or are VPN connections also firewalled somehow?
[10:58] <phre4k> I'd love to see the Great Firewall config
[10:59] <OerHeks> phre4k, that should work, but wget -c or --continue works fine.
[10:59] <phre4k> OerHeks: I wouldn't use it though, because I'd fear the authorities coming down on me if I look at a web page with "compromising" stuff
[11:00] <phre4k> or was that North Korea?
[11:01] <leni1> hello all. I have a Debian installation that I have installed  several programs on. I want to make an image of the current  installation as it stands and be able to boot from it. Anyone  who can point me to any good tutorials and tools?
[11:01] <leni1> 14:00 -!- #debian Cannot send to channel
[11:02] <OerHeks> you might need to register with freenode, leni1
[11:02] <OerHeks> !register
[11:02] <Ben64> leni1: you may need to register to use that channel, this channel is ubuntu only
[11:02] <Ben64> bah, beaten by OerHeks
[11:03] <OerHeks> against spammers & funny people
[11:08] <LinuxNewb> should all windows program run on wine?
[11:09] <Ben64> !appdb | LinuxNewb
[11:09] <OerHeks> LinuxNewb, should, but they don't ( all)
[11:09] <OerHeks> see the wineHQ database.
[11:09] <LinuxNewb> i see. because i just downloaded a windows chess interface and it worked and i thought maybe everything else would work
[11:10] <Pricey> OerHeks: Ben64: lenil was registered & identified. Check out cap identify-msg, perhaps also bansearch.pl
[11:11] <Ben64> Pricey: huh?
[11:11] <OerHeks> Pricey, never knew about bansearch.pl
[11:12] <phre4k> LinuxNewb: you want to run as few Windows programs with WINE as possible, not only because of security risks
[11:12] <Pricey> Ben64: The user you were saying needed to be identified to speak in the other channel was already identified.
[11:12] <Pricey> Ben64: /whois first also works ;)
[11:12] <LinuxNewb> phre4k:  security risk??  why
[11:12] <Ben64> Pricey: not really our job to check all that
[11:13] <Pricey> Ben64: Really? You were trying to give advice and it was pretty useless advice...
[11:13] <iptable> LinuxNewb: it's windows applications, windows exploits etc on a linux-windows API translator to linux stack. It may pose security risks that you get in windows.
[11:14] <Ben64> Pricey: i did say "may" and OerHeks's bot trigger directed to #freenode, where they can help with issues like that. this channel is strictly Ubuntu support. thanks for your comments though, i'll take them under advisement (tossed in the bin)
[11:16] <LinuxNewb> iptable:  ok that convinces to delete all windows software i just downloaded
[11:16] <Pricey> Ben64: I'm struggling to see why this is an issue? It would've taken you 5s to check if they really were identified (e.g. with /whois) before giving them useless advice which didn't apply to them, wasting their time?
[11:16] <LinuxNewb> thanks for letting me know
[11:16] <Ben64> Pricey: i'm struggling to see why you need to even bring this up in this channel
[11:17] <Pricey> Ben64: Because we want to give good support? :(
[11:17] <Ben64> Pricey: in this channel, good Ubuntu support, #freenode is where good IRC support lives
[11:18] <iptable> LinuxNewb: you could instead install windows VM (virtual machine) under VirtualBox software for example and run your windows software there in isolation
[11:18] <iptable> LinuxNewb: that makes complete sense then ;)
[11:18] <LinuxNewb> do i need windows key to run that?
[11:18] <iptable> LinuxNewb: yes you do. You need a copy of windows
[11:18] <LinuxNewb> i need to do that now
[11:19] <Pricey> Ben64: Ugh, just... just be excellent to each other.
[11:19] <nilekada> how to image a current Linux installation so that I can boot from it and not have to reinstall my programs from scratch
[11:19] <LinuxNewb> can i find VM in software manager?
[11:19] <nilekada> Anyone know any good tutorials and tools
[11:20] <iptable> LinuxNewb: 1. install virtualbox (from software manager). It is a computer emulator. In the emulator, you create new virtual machine and install windows in it (you need a copy of windows install media CD or ISO, as said)
[11:21] <iptable> nilekada: what's the end goal? moving it to another machine or what?
[11:22] <phre4k> is there a way to only show manually changed package states? iptable?
[11:23] <nilekada> iptable: I simply don't want to do a fresh install on my computer
[11:24] <nilekada> I'm planning to wipe my disk and repartition it
[11:24] <nilekada> So I wanted to image my current installation as a bootable image, then wipe the disk and install the image
[11:24] <nilekada> So that I'm up and running
[11:36] <phre4k> hm, i just wanted to tell him about tar... :D
[11:38] <iptable> phre4k: no. this command (aptitude) will show manually installed packages. No command I am aware of for (manually uninstalled ones)
[11:39] <iptable> nilekada I have an answer but you left
[11:46] <phre4k> aptitude search '~i!~M' shows a looong list with unnecessary information, do I have to awk it out or does aptitude have a flag to only show package names for exporting?
[11:47] <phre4k> ah, got it, -F '%p'
[11:49] <iptable> ooh, nice. I normally awk it out. good to know.
[11:50]  * iptable goes for a lunch break
[11:50] <phre4k> sooo, if I do the aptitude search '~il~M' -f '%p' > selections.txt, then modify a preseed file to install the system, how do I install the packages again automatically? I know it's possible with aptitude install $(< selections.txt) but how do I put this in the preseed file?
[11:50] <phre4k> s/-f/-F/
[11:50] <betehess_> iptable: looks like there is a bug in the installer: I wasn't able to uncheck the Format? box for the *last* partition I was setting. So I configured /home before swap, and was able to uncheck it. I just hope it's really doing that right now
[11:50] <iptable> I believe you can ask preseed which packages to install
[11:51] <iptable> betehess_: cool
[11:51] <iptable> phre4k: I believe you can TELL preseed which packages to install
[11:52] <ikonia> phre4k: approach it as if you are doing a net install build
[11:52] <ikonia> you have to define the package manifest
[11:52] <phre4k> iptable: is there a preseed file generator somewhere? I just wasted 8 work hours on researching stuff for automatic deployment of Linux installation, no wonder it's so hard to find Linux admins :D
[11:53] <iptable> phre4k: see ikonia reply. and no, no generator I ever used. Just research preseed package installation
[11:53] <iptable> phre4k: d-i pkgsel/include string package1 package2
[11:53] <iptable> phre4k: that's how you list packages to install
[11:54] <phre4k> the Ubuntu docs are extremely shitty in this regard. I remember finding the 14.04 preseed.txt but it isn't linked in the wiki anywhere
[11:54] <iptable> phre4k: it's debian-installer preseed so check debian manuals. it all works on ubuntu
[11:54] <ikonia> phre4k: tone down the language
[11:54] <ikonia> the docs are pretty good
[11:55] <phre4k> ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization → links to 10.04 guide and doesn't have current info
[11:55] <LinuxNewb> iptable:  your method will allow me to use lubuntu for the next 10 years.
[11:55] <phre4k> and yeah, I know that preseed doesn't change much, but it's still bad the file isn't easily available through the wiki
[11:56] <iptable> LinuxNewb: you are welcome ;)
[11:56] <phre4k> here's the file I'm talking about: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt
[11:56] <ikonia> phre4k: install CD
[11:56] <ikonia> phre4k: you're not doing an install CD
[11:57]  * iptable really goes for lunch now
[11:57] <phre4k> ikonia: I don't? I thought I run around installing computers with an USB drive
[11:57] <ikonia> phre4k: are you trying to build a custom CD or a preseed build ?
[11:58] <phre4k> I'm trying to install 3 PCs with the same config and don't want to use Ansible/Chef for reasons
[11:58] <ikonia> phre4k: are you trying to build a custom CD or a preseed build ?
[12:04] <phre4k> ikonia: custom ISO for USB needs a preseed file, doesn't it?
[12:05] <ikonia> depends what you're doing
[12:05] <phre4k> I don't want a live CD, I just want to have a CD/USB ISO which allows me to customize what's installed and how it's configured
[12:05] <ikonia> do you're trying to make a custom install cd
[12:05] <phre4k> for deploying a few computers now and a few dozens later
[12:06] <phre4k> ikonia: yes, and for that I need a preseed file, don't I?
[12:06] <ikonia> phre4k: thats certainly a good way of doing it yes
[12:07] <cfhowlett> !cookie | OerHeks, man that command was EXACTLY what I needed!    Just meet me in Beijing.
[12:08] <OerHeks> cfhowlett, have fun
[12:09] <phre4k> is there a way to go through all questions asked by the installer, create a file and then use it? I only found debconf-get-selections --installer but that's empty
[12:09] <phre4k> the package list I have now, thanks to iptable's help
[12:09] <ikonia> phre4k: certainly not that I'm aware of
[12:09] <ikonia> I don't think it's interactive like that
[12:10] <phre4k> I did debconf-get-selections and piped it into a file but that file now contains a lot of bullshit, like setting a timezone which I never set, 3 times a different one
[12:12] <iptable> phre4k: timezone is being set during installation ;) so you could combine that and the aptitude result for package selection
[12:16] <BluesKaj_> hiyas all
[12:18] <nabn_> hi. i have virtualbox installed. but  i get /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found
[12:18] <lantizia> Any ideas how I get this not to alternate? (so it prints 24 spaces then 31 underscores?).....   printf '%.0s ''%.0s_' {1..24} {1..31}
[12:19]  * cfhowlett is amazed how much use and power can be gained by knowing the right command.  Hats off to Oerheks and wget -c FOO
[12:22] <phre4k> I think I will install the systems manually with the minimal install and just do aptitude install ($ < selections.txt)
[12:22] <phre4k> * aptitude install $(< selections.txt)
[12:22] <luca> hi
[12:23] <luca> hat jemand erfahrung mit wine?
[12:24] <fidel__> luckybunny: this is the english channel
[12:24] <Hercules> can I have a free disc of Ubuntu ? ( I live in India ) I am of 13 years and doesn't have fast internet or can get a CD from local store ( cause they got windows only none of them Ubuntu ) ?
[12:25] <fidel__> ups
[12:27] <fidel__> Hercules: the program shitit was stoped. see: http://www.ubuntu.com/shipit
[12:27] <fidel__> *shipIt*
[12:27] <Hercules> I know.
[12:27] <Hercules> Thats why requesting here.
[12:28] <Jesper--> It's not free but you can buy it here: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=1146
[12:28] <fidel__> Hercules: this is a support-channel - we dont ship marketing things on our costs for canonical ;)
[12:29] <Hercules> um.. someone said that ask here.
[12:29] <fidel__> as you have internet-access right now - considered using the minimal-cd?
[12:30] <Hercules> its dial-up internet.
[12:32] <cfhowlett> Hercules, best you buy it then
[12:32] <cfhowlett> Hercules, better idea: your India Ubuntu Group
[12:32] <OerHeks> http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/indian-team/
[12:33] <Hercules> ok
[12:35] <ahmed__> Hello everybody, Kindly I would like to set multiple VLAN ids to one interface with one IP address of Ubuntu VM , Is that possible ? if yes, How to do it please ?
[12:42] <nabn> when i do 'lsmod | grep vbox' , it says 'vboxdrv 339502'. how can i find out where vobxdrv is located? i tried 'which vboxdrv', but it doesn't say anything..
[12:44] <Ben64> nabn: find /lib | grep vboxdrv
[12:44] <Ben64> nabn: why do you need to find it
[12:45] <Nedal> hi guys ! well I want to know what command should I do to find the files that exactly are made by 4 characters ( like for example I have ' file' , 'tata' 'toto' and 'tutu' in my directory , what command will print just those 3 files)
[12:46] <j4son> nabn: `modinfo vboxdrv`
[12:46] <nabn> Ben64, i am having trouble setting up genymotion (android emulator). It needs virtualbox. Though i have it installed, genymotion still fails to load, says i need to do etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. but i dont have vboxdrv under etc/init.d,
[12:46]  * rknk8 slapped zxc with a wet kipper!
[12:47] <ahmed__> Hello everybody, Kindly I would like to set multiple VLAN ids to one interface with one IP address of Ubuntu VM , Is that possible ? if yes, How to do it please ?
[12:47] <Ben64> nabn: you might want to contact the developer with that, they may have a solution already
[12:48] <nabn> Ben64, i am trying googling online since this morning. maybe i'll contact the devs now. thanks.
[13:00] <EriC^^> nabn: try to reinstall virtualbox
[13:02] <nabn> EriC^^, i did that. i purged vbox that i installed from ubuntu repos, installed again from deb file dwlded directly from virtualbox's website. i now have /etc/init.d/vboxdrv, but still genymotion fails to load. :( looking into it currently.
[13:08] <EriC^^> nabn: oh ok
[13:10] <iptable> nabn reboot
[13:10] <iptable> oh
[13:10] <iptable> dann, it's udev, reboot would solve it.
[13:12] <ahmed__> I would like to set multiple VLAN ids to one interface with one IP address of Ubuntu VM , Is that possible ? if yes, How to do it please ?
[13:16] <iptable> ahmed__: the othe way
[13:17] <phre4k> is there no alternate CD for 14.04+?
[13:17] <iptable> ahmed__: create multiple vlans for that interface (which create multiple "virtual" interfaces) and assign IPs to those
[13:17] <iptable> ahmed__: let me google that for you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/vlan
[13:17] <ahmed__> is it possible that those IPs are the same ?
[13:18] <iptable> ahmed__: theoretically yes
[13:18] <iptable> ahmed__: you need to configure your routing table very carefully though
[13:18] <ahmed__> OK I will need also to configure the same VLAN ids at the receiver node ?
[13:19] <ahmed__> not the sender only ?
[13:20] <ahmed__> see here please you will find what I am asking for but here the ips are different http://linux.cloudibee.com/2007/12/linux-vlan-configuration/
[13:20] <ahmed__> what I want to be the same
[13:20] <ahmed__> is that fine ?
[13:21] <DeeJayTwo> I noticed apt-get update now gives me this error:
[13:21] <DeeJayTwo> W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3B22AB97AF1CDFA9
[13:21] <DeeJayTwo> can anybody tell me how to fix it?
[13:23] <rio_zenta> Hello
[13:24] <rio_zenta> I recently got a Lenovo machine and when I plug my earphones into the dual headphone/microphone jack, the sound coming out is very soft and the vocals aren't clear. Is there a way to fix this issue?
[13:25] <iptable> rio_zenta: change the speaker configuration to "headphones" maybe. sounds like it thinks it's a 5.1 system. try pavucontrol utility (install it).
[13:25] <iptable> rio_zenta: if not, then your headphone jack is very bad quality most likely.
[13:26] <rio_zenta> iptable, it works in windows 7, so I don't think the jack *is the issue*
[13:27] <iptable> rio_zenta: check pavucontrol speaker configuration. somwhere you will have the option to check if it's headphones, 5.1 or whatever else
[13:28] <sweta_rk> oc
[13:28] <rio_zenta> iptable, apart from that, is it possible that the firmware/drivers arent working properly on linux?
[13:30] <iptable> rio_zenta: not if soudn from speakers comes out right
[13:30] <iptable> rio_zenta: highly unlikely that is
[13:31] <rio_zenta> let me check that to confirm.
[13:33] <rio_zenta> iptable, The sound is also quite soft from the speakers. The volume is at +60% and it's "soft"
[13:33] <iptable> rio_zenta: install pavucontrol and check the configuration. also, is it still too low at 100%?
[13:34] <iptable> rio_zenta: my speakers dont' pickup properly until between 80% and 100% for some reason
[13:34] <phre4k> sorry, got disconnected. Is there still an alternate install CD for Ubuntu 14.04+ or did it get merged with the server ISO?
[13:35] <rio_zenta> iptable, It's audible at 81% now on the speakers, although for headphones the vocals are poor at most volumes.
[13:35] <phre4k> sry, found the answer already. There is no alternate install ISO anymore: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-August/035675.html
[13:35] <iptable> rio_zenta: did you look at all the configuration tabs in pavucontrol yet?
[13:36] <disturberoffiles> Hi! Suddenly Digikam shows no thumbnails or photos. I'm on version 3.3.0 . I tried reinstall digikam, remove my database, reinstall kipi-plugins but no change. Digikam lists the photos correctly as numbers in each folder, but does not make any thumbnails.
[13:38] <rio_zenta> iptable, It says I have pavucontrol installed but I can't find it in the application menu
[13:39] <rio_zenta> Unless Pavu is an acronym for Pulse Audio/
[13:39] <rio_zenta> *?
[13:42] <iptable> rio_zenta: open terminal and type in (surprise): pavucontrol
[13:42] <rio_zenta> iptable, I checked all the configurations. It is not Digital Stereo (HDMI) or Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI)
[13:44] <iptable> rio_zenta: so sound config is fine and sound is still too low? could be drivers then. if low in both speakers and headphones
[13:45] <iptable> rio_zenta: try loading windows, put sound on MAX and load linux. see if that helps. could be some silly hardwaer control for sound on top of software one
[13:45] <rio_zenta> iptable, With headphones, vocals are distorted
[13:46] <rio_zenta> iptable, i'll try that. Another question: Is a laptop supposed to get unusually hot on 1 side when using linux?
[13:48] <iptable> rio_zenta: yes and no. if it's getting hot, either 1. acpi is not working, or 2. the fans are not working, or 3. it's supposed to be this hot
[13:48] <iptable> rio_zenta: install lm-sensors and check temperature.
[13:48] <iptable> rio_zenta: you might have a windows-only laptop :P
[13:48] <rio_zenta> iptable, It says on the ubuntu site that this machine is linux-certified?
[13:50] <iptable> rio_zenta: in which case, you need to sort out the problem.
[13:50] <iptable> Is this a fresh isntall? new machine? have you tried 14.04 and 14.10 to see?
[13:50] <rio_zenta> iptable, I find PSensor in software centre but no lm-sensors (unless that is not a piece of software)
[13:51] <rio_zenta> iptable, yes, a fresh install of 14.04. I like staying on LTS, but do they backport upgrades to LTS?
[13:51] <iptable> rio_zenta: aptitude search lm-sensors
[13:51] <iptable> p   lm-sensors                      - utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan
[13:52] <OerHeks> !lmsensors
[13:52] <OerHeks> including howto
[13:53] <rio_zenta> iptable, I am using PSensor, which provides a GUI
[13:54] <iptable> rio_zenta: ok
[14:01] <leni1> hello all. I'd like to make an image of my current Linux installation and all the programs I've installed on it. Any ideas/tutorials/tools I can use?
[14:01] <leni1> Most of what Google gives me is for a fresh install
[14:02] <rio_zenta> Use a burn utility leni1
[14:03] <iptable> leni1: image, as in, you want to image your installed OS on your HDD?
[14:03] <finn_> Hi guys. Any one have problem with wi fi mouse? my problem is when ill start ubuntu and my mouse's wireless adapter in usb, ubuntu didnt start, only black screen. If ill start without adapter its work fine. Anyone pls help
[14:04] <iptable> leni1: use clonezilla for example
[14:04] <iptable> finn_: so not wifi mouse. but a wireless mouse?
[14:04] <iptable> finn_: looks like a mouse issue. other USB devices in that slot plugged in and start fine?
[14:05] <finn_> iptable Yes. this trouble only with logitech perfomance mouse
[14:06] <iptable> finn_: guess what's wrong then? the mouse.
[14:06] <finn_> iptable If adapter of this mouse plugged ubunty didnt start. sry for bad english. ill hope u understand me
[14:06] <iptable> we can't help fix mice here
[14:06] <finn_> if i use none wireless mouse, ubuntu loading fine
[14:07] <iptable> finn_: your wireless mouse is at fault!
[14:07] <iptable> not ubuntu
[14:07] <finn_> iptable. but windows loading fine with this mouse
[14:08] <finn_> iptable. and if i plugged off the adapter ubuntu will start, after this i can plugged on adapter. and mouse work corectly
[14:08] <iptable> finn_: the mouse doesn't work with ubuntu properly. it's badly designed. 99.9% of wireless mice have not this issue. btw, if laptop is plugged into power, same problem?
[14:08] <iptable> or just on battery?
[14:09] <japro> so it seems i busted a linux install on a usb stick by pulling it to early when shutting down. now googling tells me i should try boot-repair. the thing is said tool gives me no indication what it is actually doing. i can run it from a working ubuntu laptop but i want to repair the plugged in usb stick not the laptops install
[14:09] <finn_> no cares battery or power
[14:09] <japro> and it doesn't show any indication which device it is operating on or any way to select or specify it is mentioned in the manpages
[14:10] <iptable> japro: data is already corrupt. copy again
[14:10] <iptable> japro: then, once you copy, run this in terminal: sync
[14:10] <iptable> that will ensure data is written
[14:11] <japro> copy again what? i'm not talking about a usb stick that was created by copying a iso onto it. i installed ubuntu on it via the installer
[14:11] <japro> also the device contains a encrypted volume so i hope whatever happened to the drive didn't obliterate that in some unrecoverable way
[14:11] <iptable> japro: do it again. and syc
[14:11] <umarmukthar> how to install latest gcc in Ubuntu14.04
[14:12]  * iptable goes for a break
[14:12] <japro> iptable, do what again?
[14:13] <elichai2> hey
[14:14] <elichai2> i have a problem
[14:14] <pbx> elichai2, jump right into the details, with plenty of context
[14:15] <elichai2> i rebooted my laptop and everything look weird

[14:17] <elichai2> pbx,
[14:17] <_Trullo> is it possible to change google to not move up to the url bar when starting to type something (search)
[14:18] <_Trullo> I find it very annoying
[14:19] <elichai2> pbx, ?
[14:19] <elichai2> someone?
[14:23] <EriC^^> elichai2: what do you mean?
[14:23] <EriC^^> elichai2: that's chrome, the fonts are different than unity in it
[14:23] <elichai2> EriC^^, it's not just chrome
[14:23] <elichai2> everything is diffrent
[14:23] <elichai2> *different
[14:23] <elichai2> EriC^^, look: http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_from_2014-12-22_16_13_37-CTPTNVMi.1419257638.png
[14:24] <elichai2> this is xchat-GNOME
[14:25] <Chuck_Norris> elichai2: seems like it is running under wine -.-
[14:25] <elichai2> it's not!
[14:26] <elichai2> i tired using unity-tweak-tool to reset the theme, fonts, etc. i'll now reboot and check if it worked
[14:29] <anonymous_> ahoj
[14:29] <elichai2> fixed :)
[14:29] <elichai2> Chuck_Norris, EriC^^, :)
[14:29] <anonymous_> eu
[14:29] <elichai2> thanks
[14:29] <anonymous_> cyech republik
[14:30] <anonymous_> help
[14:30] <anonymous_> pokec
[14:31] <hadifarn_> how can I copy a folder into /dir1/*/dir2 ?
[14:31] <Chuck_Norris> elichai2: xD i don't deserve any credit, it was EriC^^
[14:31] <hadifarn_> which means I want to copy to every folder that has dir2
[14:31] <elichai2> lol, he did nothing either but still thanks :)
[14:31] <EriC^^> Chuck_Norris: hmm? i didn't say anything either :D
[14:31] <elichai2> *neither
[14:31] <hadifarn_> e.g.  /dir1/12/dir2
[14:32] <EriC^^> Chuck_Norris: it's xmas time
[14:32] <EriC^^> thanks for everyoooooooooooneeeeeee
[14:32] <EriC^^> :P
[14:32] <Chuck_Norris> i know EriC^^ just saying :p happy chrismas to everyone :D
[14:34] <japro> sigh, so it finds he luks header thingy but when i try to open it it errors with "Requested offset is beyond real size of device /dev..."
[14:36] <japro> hrmf, this really makes me question the viability of having a encrypted setup on a usb drive if it's so easy to obliterate
[14:36] <EriC^^> hadifarn_: for i in /dir1/*/dir2; do cp -r c $i; done
[14:36] <EriC^^> ( replace c with the dir you want to copy )
[14:37] <hadifarn_> EriC^^: so I copy this exact command? even keep the * ?
[14:37] <EriC^^> hadifarn_: for i in /dir1/*/dir2; do cp -r /path/to/source $i; done
[14:37] <EriC^^> yes the * is needed
[14:37] <hadifarn_> cheers EriC^^
[14:43] <rubick> I'm trying to switch from using ntpd to openntpd. When I try to start openntpd I get a permissions issue. I'm guessing there's some residual files from ntpd causing conflict, but I'm not sure where.
[14:51] <rubick> I got it. it was apparmor causing havoc.
[14:53] <ararob> can i disable a repo temporarely without deleting it?
[14:55] <tekkbuzz> ararob: comment it out, or if it's in sources.list.d rename it somehthing.repo.bak
[14:55] <ararob> right thnx
[14:55] <dgelling> Hi, so I have some odd behaviour of tar under ubuntu 12.04 I don't quite understand. I've got a folder with symlinks, but want to include them as copies instead (for windows). When I provide the -h option however, it seems to include the files as hardlinks instead which shows up under windows as empty files. So it seems that the -h option doesn't do quite what it says in the man page, or what am I missing?
[14:55] <BluesKaj_> ararob, yes, open /etc/apt/sources.list with root permissions and place a # in front of the repos deb url , it's also aka "commenting a line"
