[00:01] <muka> sorry, you may have done that but in alsamixer, do you have MM under the mic?
[00:03] <Actpa> muka, I was told my Microphone has a driver it self?
[00:03] <muka> and try: select mic and than press space key, that should activate  CAPTURE
[00:03] <Actpa> Select my mic where?
[00:04] <muka> in alsamixer
[00:05] <Actpa> There's one called "Mic" I hovered over it and pressed space nothing happened.
[00:05] <Actpa> There's one named "Capture" that when I hover over it the little L and the R dissapear.
[00:05] <Actpa> When I hover over it and press space*
[00:05] <muka> go to alsamixer press F6 select card, than F5
[00:06] <Actpa> Same thing happens.
[00:06] <muka> or alsamixer -c 0
[00:07] <Actpa> Nothing happens when I press space on a selection.
[00:07] <Actpa> I have the card selected.
[00:07] <Actpa> There is 2 Internal Mics at the far right.
[00:07] <muka> so while you in alsamixer pressing F6, how many option you get?
[00:07] <Actpa> 2
[00:07] <Actpa>  - Default
[00:07] <Actpa> 0 - HDA
[00:08] <Actpa> 0 - HDA Intel
[00:08] <muka> ok so select 2nd one
[00:08] <Actpa> I selected it already.
[00:08] <muka> HDA Intel
[00:08] <Actpa> Yes.
[00:08] <Actpa> I pressed enter > Went back to f5 and tried pressing space bar
[00:08] <Actpa> nothing.
[00:08] <muka> now press F5
[00:08] <muka> still only one bar?
[00:08] <Actpa> Theres alot of bars
[00:08] <Actpa> but only one changes when I press the space bar.
[00:09] <halion> prima prova con irssi
[00:09] <muka> ok so now go to your mic by pressing left right key
[00:09] <halion> mmm not bad ...
[00:09] <Actpa> Okay.
[00:09] <muka> now press space key
[00:09] <Actpa> Nothing happens.
[00:10] <muka> capture should show
[00:10] <Actpa> Nope.
[00:10] <muka> and is volume all the way up?
[00:10] <Actpa> Yes.
[00:10] <Hans1> Hello. I set up OTR and would like to test message. Anybody here who got it? :)
[00:11] <muka> Actpa, is your front mic selected?
[00:11] <Actpa> My front mic?
[00:12] <muka> do you have MM under it, or nothing?
[00:12] <Actpa> MM is under it.
[00:12] <muka> ok press M key
[00:12] <Actpa> Okay
[00:12] <Actpa> Now theres a green 0 under the bar
[00:12] <muka> now set volume to 80-100%
[00:13] <Actpa> okay it's at 81.
[00:13] <muka> open new terminal and try arecord
[00:14] <Actpa> Nothing
[00:14] <Actpa> Just a constant blrrr sound.
[00:14] <muka> while you recording open pavucontrol and go to input tab see if pulseaudio volume
[00:15] <muka> is also set to 80-100%
[00:15] <Actpa> It is.
[00:15] <Actpa> The orange bar is moving by it self
[00:15] <Actpa> Im not talking.
[00:16] <muka> try alsamixer test.wav but let it recording
[00:16] <Actpa> http://imgur.com/QVaYwrU
[00:17] <muka> ok, like I said start recording, do not stop it, and open pavucontrol
[00:17] <Actpa> Muka, There is a bar with the word Capture under it. It's the only one that changes when I press the space bar. After I press it to stop the capture the orange bar on pavu stops moving
[00:18] <Actpa> I have pavu open
[00:18] <Actpa> what now?
[00:18] <muka> do you record?
[00:18] <Actpa> yes.
[00:19] <muka> ok open pavu
[00:19] <Actpa> Alright it's open
[00:19] <muka> now start changing ports. see if volume starts moving
[00:19] <Actpa> Yes.
[00:20] <muka> sorry, yes what?
[00:20] <Actpa> Changing my port from Internal Microphone (Unavilable) to Microphone (Plugged in) makes the orange bar move.
[00:20] <Actpa> But, I only have one microphone on my laptop.
[00:20] <Actpa> and it's internal.
[00:20] <Actpa> internal*
[00:20] <muka> or looks like you recording now
[00:20] <muka> try it
[00:20] <Actpa> try what?
[00:20] <muka> yes it's internal mic
[00:21] <muka> listen to your recording
[00:21] <muka> first stop it
[00:21] <Actpa> I did.
[00:21] <Actpa> its a long recording.
[00:21] <Actpa> so gimmie a sec.
[00:22] <muka> just wait
[00:23] <crow_> Hi :-) I'm having a problem getting to a running application in Ubuntu. Is there a queue to be helped or should I just jump in?
[00:25] <Actpa> Okay
[00:25] <Actpa> Muka
[00:25] <Actpa> It didnt record my voice.
[00:25] <tgm4883> crow_: just ask
[00:25] <Actpa> just that blare sound again.
[00:25] <Actpa> muka,
[00:25] <helala2499> hi
[00:26] <muka> let me think here
[00:26] <Actpa> How come I cant press the space bar on the Mic in alsamixer?
[00:26] <crow_> I just installed Fallout 3 using PlayOnLinux. Everything is going smoothly in game, but whenever I switch windows the game disappears from the window list.
[00:27] <Actpa> Dont switch windows
[00:27] <Actpa> xD
[00:27] <crow_> I know it's still running because I can hear the in game music. Is there a way to get back to the running instance? I've tried alt-tabbing and googling.
[00:27] <muka> Actpa, lets go from the start. go to alsamixer and select HDA Intel card
[00:27] <crow_> lol I wouldn't, but my text messages pop up
[00:28] <crow_> they cover the screen unless I make them shoo
[00:28] <Actpa> muka, okay.
[00:28] <helala2499> I want ask a qustioun
[00:28] <Actpa> What's your question?
[00:29] <muka> now tel me what options do you have "front mic"?
[00:29] <Actpa> muka, do you have join.me?
[00:29] <Actpa> muka, or teamviewer?
[00:29] <muka> no
[00:29] <Actpa> muka, dang. okay.
[00:29] <muka> no
[00:30] <Actpa> muka, I'll screenshot them and send you.
[00:30] <helala2499> I have a router and I know the wpa password but i wonder if I can know the wps pin
[00:31] <Actpa> muka, http://imgur.com/msIuAhS,n1qAfrI#0      http://imgur.com/msIuAhS,n1qAfrI#1
[00:32] <bazhang> ##hardware helala2499
[00:32] <bazhang> thats nothing to do with ubuntu
[00:32] <kalby> i read about increasing internet speed by modfying /sysctl. anyone tried it before?
[00:32] <crow_> helala2499 I assume you've already looked on the router and not found anything?
[00:33] <muka> Actpa, ok go to Dock Mic and press M key, raise volume up
[00:33] <Actpa> okay
[00:33] <Actpa> one sec
 your WPS mode may be button based, not pin based
[00:33] <muka> and Internal
[00:33] <Actpa> muka, okay I raised it to 81%
[00:33] <Actpa> okay.
[00:33] <Actpa> I raised them both.
[00:34] <muka> now open pavu...
[00:34] <Actpa> kay.
[00:34] <Actpa> okay*
[00:34] <muka> open terminal and: arecord test.wav
[00:34] <muka> select pavu
[00:34] <Actpa> okay
[00:35] <muka> and try different ports
[00:35] <muka> start speaking
[00:35] <Actpa> There is only one port now.
[00:35] <Actpa> that works.
[00:35] <Actpa> that shows orange bar moving.
[00:35] <muka> volume bar is moving?
[00:36] <Actpa> yes, but not when i am talking.
[00:36] <muka> ok, click your volume plug in
[00:37] <Actpa> okay
[00:37]  * Mega help
[00:37] <muka> any mic option?
[00:37] <Actpa> Only one.
[00:37] <Actpa> Microphone (Built in audio)
[00:37] <muka> move all the way up
[00:37] <Actpa> okay.
[00:37] <AbdoTGM50_> hi
[00:38] <Actpa> The orange bars are moving when i am not talking.
[00:38] <AbdoTGM50_> soo.... I'm at abit of aloss in insstalling the nvidia drivers
[00:38] <crow_> Any takers on my problem? >I just installed Fallout 3 using PlayOnLinux. Everything is going smoothly in game, but whenever I switch windows the game disappears from the window list. I know it's still running because I can hear the in game music. Is there a way to get back to the running instance? I've tried alt-tabbing and googling.
[00:38] <muka> now stop recording and see if it worked. If not I'm not sure what is wrong.
[00:38] <AbdoTGM50_> would someone help me? :)
[00:38] <Actpa> muka, the same thing happened. Just a solid sound of buzzing.
[00:39] <Actpa> muka, It's okay. Thank you for trying. I'll just have to buy a new microphone.
 Have you gotten as far installing them?
[00:39] <muka> at the end of the recording too?
 Or rather, finding the list of them
[00:39] <AbdoTGM50_> it gives me an error when running the .run fle
[00:39] <Actpa> muka, I'm still listening.
[00:39] <AbdoTGM50_> you have to terminate x
[00:39] <Actpa> muka, But no not yet.
[00:39] <AbdoTGM50_> also is the bumblebee project required?
[00:39] <bazhang> #winehq with actual game help crow_
I manage mine throught the System Settings>Software and Updates
[00:40] <Actpa> muka, nothing.. But thank you for trying! I'll try to troubleshoot this. Thank you.
[00:40] <AbdoTGM50_> but arent the drivers there outdated crow_ ?
[00:41] <AbdoTGM50_> the latest is 355.11
 Thanks, but I was hoping there was a general Ubuntu trick for recovering orphaned windows
[00:42] <muka> Actpa, try this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting
 Very well could be, but that's the extent of my knowledge
[00:42] <AbdoTGM50_> well to be honest it doesnt seem that ubuntu even aknowledges its existence
[00:45] <Halion-x> mmm
[00:47] <AbdoTGM50_> soo.... what should I do?
[00:50] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: What release and distribution are you using ? The release depends on what drivers are available in the repo .
[00:52] <AbdoTGM50_> I'm on a Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
[00:55] <Bashing-om> Adbray: Easy way to install drivers ' sudo ubuntu-drivers devices ; sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' Pending these results and purging present driver is the final command.
[00:55] <benji_> hey
[00:57] <AbdoTGM50_> well here's the thing Bashing-om using sudo ubuntu-drivers devices doesnt list my nvidia card at all
[00:59] <Bashing-om> Adbray: Now that is a 1st .. what about ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ' and '  dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' .
[01:00] <AbdoTGM50_> do y ou think it would have something to do with me not having bumblebee?
[01:01] <AbdoTGM50_> since that supposedly fixes things for nvidia optimus laptops
[01:01] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: ^^ Adbray sorry bout the ping . dyslexia getting the better of me .
[01:01] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: the hardware is still there and has to show up on the PCI bus
[01:02] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: BumbleBee is depreciated in favor of nvidia-prime. see: 'man nvidia-prime ' .
[01:03] <delt> Hello
[01:03] <delt> Is it possible to use dbus (and a jackdbus server) witout X running?
[01:03] <delt> ie. i want my jackd to be persistent across/without X11 sessions.
[01:03] <AbdoTGM50_> what is ubuntu's equivilant to devicee manager?
[01:03] <delt> (tbh i find the dependency on the graphic system to be completely retarded and windows-like)
[01:06] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: use the command Bashing-om showed you... 'lspci....'
[01:07] <AbdoTGM50_> yeah just ysed that
[01:07] <AbdoTGM50_> its there
[01:08] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: show us that output in a pastebin so we know what we are working with .
[01:09] <Bashing-om> !paste | AbdoTGM50_
[01:12] <OneM_Industries> Hello! How would I network enable a printer in ubuntu 14.04?
[01:14] <AbdoTGM50_> heres the output http://pastebin.com/gZxkKtFr
[01:14] <AbdoTGM50_> sorry for the dc my internet is unstable today
[01:15] <wyoung> apparmor is giving me grief.  Do I really need it?
[01:16] <AbdoTGM50_> so TJ- ?
[01:17] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: that isn't the output Bashing-om asked for. we need 'lspci -vnn' so we can see the device IDs
[01:17] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: Look'n at your http://pastebin.com/gZxkKtFr
[01:19] <AbdoTGM50_> TJ- http://pastebin.com/qHDwwuwC
[01:22] <TJ-> That ID should be supported; it's not new
[01:22] <AbdoTGM50_> supported by what?
[01:24] <TJ-> The nvidia drivers, for a while now
[01:24] <AbdoTGM50_> so how should I procceed?
[01:24] <Bashing-om> TJ-: AbdoTGM50_ Nvidia recommends the 352 version driver. It is avalable in the software repository . Why ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' does not see it, is a mystery to me .
[01:26] <AbdoTGM50_> whn I run "sudo ubuntu-drivers list" I get "bcmwl-kernel-source"
[01:27] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: That one is for the WIFI, you should see also for the graphics chip set .
[01:27] <AbdoTGM50_> nope there is nothing else
[01:29] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: try the "/usr/bin/nvidia-detector"
[01:30] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: Hummm . A sort of shot in the dark, as "nouveau" (open source); see what results ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' .
[01:31] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: Also try "ubuntu-drivers devices"
[01:32] <AbdoTGM50_> TJ- tried that and it only shows the wirelss driver only
[01:33] <AbdoTGM50_> Bashing-om will try that after running the script
[01:33] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: is the /sys/ file-system mounted "mount | grep sysfs" ?
[01:34] <AbdoTGM50_> huh?
[01:34] <AbdoTGM50_> nvidia detector says none
[01:34] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: We watch a master at work .
[01:34] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: it did that on mine - I guess we aren't using it correctly
[01:34] <AbdoTGM50_> I seem to be one of those rare cases arent I XD
[01:36] <AbdoTGM50_> do you think that it may have somethnig to do with me not updating the packages that came with the default distro installation?
[01:36] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: Do you have the restricted repo enabled/
[01:37] <AbdoTGM50_> where do I find that?
[01:37] <AbdoTGM50_> also what was that abouy sys being mounted?
[01:38] <AbdoTGM50_> the one in software and updates?
[01:39] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: "mount | grep sysfs" ?
[01:39] <AbdoTGM50_> do I run that in the terminal?
[01:39] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: Yes; the 'restricted' repo contains non-free packages
[01:40] <AbdoTGM50_> I have it enabled as well as all the others
[01:40] <AbdoTGM50_> pleases dont tell me it has to do with the "Egypt Server"
[01:40] <AbdoTGM50_> when I ran that command I got "sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)"
[01:41] <TJ-> I just removed the 'restricted' component here; it reduced the number of driver options offered for nvidia but it still listed the nouveau driver as one option.
[01:41] <AbdoTGM50_> do I remove it?
[01:41] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: Good; that's what we wanted to see. If it had been missing it may have explained why ubuntu-drivers could not localte the GPU info
[01:41] <AbdoTGM50_> as in uncheck it?
[01:42] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: No, I wanted to be sure you *have* Restricted enabled
[01:42] <AbdoTGM50_> ahh
[01:43] <TJ-> I noticed if you do 'ubuntu-drivers --help' one of the commands available is 'debug' - let's use that and capture the output to a pastebin. Do you have 'pastebinit' installed?
[01:45] <AbdoTGM50_> no I dont have it installed
[01:46] <AbdoTGM50_> I'm just used to pastebinning through the website
[01:48] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: It helps because it can capture command output and paste it automatically: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "ubuntu-drivers debug |& tee /dev/stderr | pastebinit"
[01:53] <AbdoTGM50_> and here it is http://pastebin.com/8Y4zShMd
[01:53] <AbdoTGM50_> with the debug argumt
[01:56] <me> hello there
[01:56] <Guest48172> i need urgent help in installing the ubuntu 14.04 on Dell inspirion 17
[01:56] <Guest48172> i installed it
[01:56] <Guest48172> but the problem is
[01:56] <al2o3-cr> Guest48172: stop pressing \r
[01:56] <Guest48172> "when trying to shut down, it does not shutdown, it just hangs, but restart does work"
[01:57] <AbdoTGM50_> TJ- Bashem-om ?
[01:57] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: Strange, mine starts http://paste.ubuntu.com/12303943/
[01:57] <Guest48172> shut down only having the issue
[01:57] <Guest48172> can some one helps
[01:58] <al2o3-cr> TJ-: Bit of a difference between graphics/network
[01:59] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: what does "head -1 /usr/bin/ubuntu-drivers" report?
[01:59] <AbdoTGM50_> this head -1 /usr/bin/ubuntu-drivers
[01:59] <AbdoTGM50_> correction : this #! /usr/bin/python3
[02:01] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: I just found the bug :)
[02:02] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: do you want explanation, or just a workaround ?
[02:02] <AbdoTGM50_> yay \o/
[02:02] <al2o3-cr> explanation
[02:02] <AbdoTGM50_> well an explanation would be nice
[02:03] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: look again at the 'lspci -nn' output - the 3rd field reads '[0302]: That is a "device class" code.
[02:04] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: Usually, a VGA GPU has code 0300 but 3D controllers on Quadro cards (which I have), and on yours, have class code 0302
[02:05] <Guest48172> can some one help
[02:05] <Guest48172> ?
[02:05] <AbdoTGM50_> ok
[02:05] <Guest48172> for my shut down issue?
[02:05] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: ubuntu-drivers' is all Python code, and it uses '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py' to detect the nvidia devices. In that file is a method (function) called 'detection()' which searchs the output of 'lspci -n' for the class code 0300 only
[02:05] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: therefore never matching your device
[02:05] <AbdoTGM50_> ahhhh
[02:06] <AbdoTGM50_> but why did it match yours then?
[02:06] <Guest48172> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% AM UNABLE TO SHUT DOWN MY MACHINE AFTER INSTALLING UBUNTU 14.04 ON DELL INSPIRION 17 7000SERIES
[02:07] <Bashing-om> TJ-: AbdoTGM50_ I am in my learning mode again !
[02:07] <AbdoTGM50_> \o/
[02:07] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: This command *should* add in 0302 as well: "sudo sed 's/0300/(0300|0302)/' /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py"
[02:07] <snowkidind> sudo shutdown -h now
[02:08] <Guest48172> DOES NOT WORK
[02:08] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: It matched mine because I have 3 GPUs, 2 with 0300 and 1 with 0302
[02:08] <snowkidind> try turning all caps off?
[02:08] <Guest48172> sorry
[02:08] <TJ-> !patience | Guest48172
[02:08] <Guest48172> sure tj
[02:09] <snowkidind> literally
[02:09] <TJ-> Has ubotto gone to sleep?
[02:09] <AbdoTGM50_> now I run nvidia-detctor again right?
[02:09] <TJ-> ubottu: are you intelligent/
[02:09] <snowkidind> maybe you were giving it a case sentive issue
[02:09] <Guest48172> i see the ubuntu logo
[02:09] <Guest48172> and stuck there
[02:09] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: Yes; re-run "ubuntu-drivers"
[02:10] <snowkidind> http://askubuntu.com/questions/578144/why-doesnt-running-sudo-shutdown-now-shutdown
[02:10] <LordWillO> question: I'm trying to run Citadel on Ubuntu 14.04, and when I go to the mail window, and then click where new mail should be showing up, it gets an error and the web app appears to crash. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[02:10] <snowkidind> you may have a hanging process that is not letting it shut down
[02:10] <Guest48172> oh
[02:11] <snowkidind> so in that case you need to find said process and kill it
[02:11] <Guest48172> i did not anything else
[02:11] <TJ-> Guest48172: sometimes, failure to shutdown is due to a motherboard/firmware issue in the ACPI shutdown code
[02:12] <AbdoTGM50_> TJ- Bashem-om it works http://paste.ubuntu.com/12304051/
[02:12] <snowkidind> TJ-: are there tweaks in the bios for that?
[02:12] <Guest48172> Snokidind: am able to restart
[02:12] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50_: OK, at this point I'm going to return to my GRUB code hacking and let Bashing-om guide you on the driver install process
[02:13] <AbdoTGM50_> yay
[02:13] <AbdoTGM50_> thanks alot man
[02:13] <TJ-> snowkidind: No; usually it is possible to find kernel acpi=xxxx options that correct the issue by having Linux work-around the problem
[02:13] <Guest48172> Snokidind: how ever the restart works fine, i even reinstalled the ubuntu aside with windows 8.1
[02:13]  * TJ- goes for coffee :)
[02:13] <Guest48172> but still the problem persist
[02:13] <snowkidind> yea i dont know about dual installs
[02:13] <Guest48172> Snokidind: what work around i have to follow
[02:14] <AbdoTGM50_> Bashing-om !
[02:14] <snowkidind> is windows still running
[02:14] <TJ-> Guest48172: sometimes the correct OS ID string for the kernel's acpi_osi=XXXXX can solve it
[02:14] <Guest48172> ya windows works fine
[02:14] <AbdoTGM50_> guide me XD
[02:14] <Guest48172> this is a new machine just couple of days old
[02:14] <snowkidind> but is it still running in the background of your dual install
[02:15] <Guest48172> Snokidind: i did not get your question
[02:15] <snowkidind> let me get this right - you have one machine with windows and ubuntu  installed on it?
[02:16] <Guest48172> yes Snokidind:
[02:16] <Guest48172> it is a new machine
[02:16] <snowkidind> how do you switch between OS'es
[02:16] <Guest48172> thru grub option that appears after restart
[02:16] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: I am still clapping ( and playing catch up for the masters work) .
[02:17] <AbdoTGM50_> hehe
[02:17] <AbdoTGM50_> so....... how do I start installing the drivers now :)
[02:17] <snowkidind> i dont know grub but i am guessing your issue is that you need to return to grub to power down
[02:18] <Guest48172> Snokidind: i mean the option that appears when starting the machine
[02:18] <Guest48172> 1) is ubuntu
[02:18] <Guest48172> 2) windows
[02:18] <snowkidind> over my pay grade man
[02:18] <snowkidind> look at the grub docs
[02:18] <Guest48172> Snokidind: how come the restart works
[02:19] <Bashing-om> AbdoTGM50_: ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' choose 346 ( however I am suprised 352 is not offered ) .. 346 is the stable release .
[02:19] <AbdoTGM50_> ok gonna shut down for abit as firefix is updating
[02:21] <snowkidind> http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html
[02:23] <Guest48172> snowkidind: what to check on the above doc
[02:23] <Nikesh> Is simply adding `tmux` to the very end of my `.bashrc` and OK way to have my terminals automatically start into tmux?
[02:24] <snowkidind> is there a way to get back to grub once an os is booted
[02:25] <Guest48172> snowkidind not sure
[02:26] <snowkidind> i would guess if you can return to grub gui, you can issue a halt command
[02:26] <Bashing-om> snowkidind: No way to return to grub, but you can examine some of the files that grub parses .
[02:27] <snowkidind> might be a configuration issue with windows
[02:27] <snowkidind> apparently it needs to be chain loaded or something
[02:28] <Nikesh> snowkidind: Well, GRUB settings can be modified after an OS is booted. What would you like to do?
[02:28] <TJ-> reported bug 1492873
[02:29] <snowkidind> Guest48172: perhaps you should restate the ? for Nikesh:
[02:29] <TJ-> snowkidind: no return to GRUB. Once Linux starts GRUB is toast
[02:30] <snowkidind> my guess is that windows bootloader is coming first then calling grub and it should be the other way around - or siomething
[02:30] <TJ-> Guest48172: As I said earlier, failure to shutdown on command is probably due to an ACPI firmware problem
[02:31] <snowkidind> i am out on this convo but i will watch and learn
[02:32] <delt> nm solved it =) works perfectly now
[02:39] <nug700> woo fixed the screen tearing
[02:40] <TJ-> nug700: Are you going to share the solution with us?
[02:41] <nug700> amazon instant video works on google chrome out of box, but has intense screen tearing. It doesn't work on firefox (with the flash plugin) unless you install HAL from a PPA
[02:42] <nug700> and there is no tearing with that
[02:42] <jason_> Ubuntu is not booting. I'm in recovery mode now, but really have no idea how to begin troubleshooting the problem. I'm stuck in the terminal at the moment (talking from the machine I'm having issues with).
[02:43] <jason_> I tried tinkering with my video card drivers, but that's my only real idea about what may be wrong.
[02:43] <Guest48172> hi can you help
[02:43] <Guest48172> sorry i missed your previous update
[02:44] <eatingthenight> I am having an issue with networking. I can connect to my router and i even get an IP but if it's over wired I can't access any website via IP or DNS.
[02:44] <TJ-> nug700: Right; because Flash is no longer developed, when they stopped developing it, it still depended on HAL for some services
[02:44] <nug700> yea
[02:45] <TJ-> eatingthenight: is the IP coming via a DHCP lease from the router?
[02:45] <nug700> Really waiting for day flash is a distant memory
[02:45] <TJ-> nug700: I don't have it installed; don't miss much
[02:45] <nug700> and everything switches to html 5+
[02:46] <jason_> Can someone tell me some log files (or something) I can look at to troubleshoot a boot issue?
[02:46] <TJ-> jason_: what kind of boot issue?
[02:47] <TJ-> jason_: as in, how far does it get, what are you seeing/experiencing when it fails?
[02:47] <eatingthenight> TJ-: yes i am getting the IP via DHCP lease
[02:47] <jason_> TJ-: Lack of booting :P. I don't have a lot of information, honestly. It just sticks at a loading screen before even logging in.
[02:47] <TJ-> eatingthenight: The router should usually also hand out a gateway address that is set as the default route. Check for a 'default' with "ip route show"
[02:48] <jason_> TJ-: I have a pretty fast computer and Ubuntu is installed on an SSD. Usually it boots instantly.
[02:48] <nug700> have you tried switching off the power switch and holding down the power button for a few seconds? that's fixed a number of boot issues for me.
[02:49] <TJ-> jason_: the graphical 'Plymouth' splash screen? You can dismiss that by pressing Escape as the boot starts, or get rid of it entirely but holding down Shift as the PC starts, and don't let go until you get the GRUB boot manager menu. Then you highlight the 'Ubuntu' entry, press 'E' to edit it, navigate to the line that begins 'linux ...', delete from that line the 'quiet splash' and add 'debug text', then
[02:49] <TJ-> press Ctrl+X or F10 to boot with those modifications.
[02:51] <eatingthenight> TJ-: hmmm well i did a complete reinstall and left everything default and it won't connect at all now :| because i know i had made a few random file changes before i wanted to get ride of them before i started trouble shooting
[02:51] <jason_> TJ-: Hmm. Okay thanks I'll try it. I guess I should really plug in my laptop and chat from there.
[02:51] <TJ-> eatingthenight: won't connect on wired?
[02:52] <eatingthenight> TJ-: yeah this is on wired. it's a desktop and i don't have a wireless card for it.
[02:52] <eatingthenight> TJ-: I actually just got it to connect by unplugging and re plugging in the ethernet cord again... but still no internet access so ill run that command from before.
[02:53] <eatingthenight> it says default via <IP_ADDRESS>. dev eth0 proto static
[02:53] <eatingthenight> <IP_ADDRESS> is the correct ip for my router
[02:54] <TJ-> eatingthenight: OK, good. Now do "ping -nc 5 <IP_ADDRESS>"
[02:55] <eatingthenight> TJ-: 100% packet loss
[02:55] <TJ-> eatingthenight: Do you know 100% that the cable works on other PCs?
[02:56] <eatingthenight> TJ-: it was working like 2 weeks ago but i couldn't say 100% right now. I'll go grab another cable to test out.
[02:57] <TJ-> eatingthenight: always the first thing to be sure of... followed by the pins in the ports on the PC and router
[02:58] <Darkseg> eatingthenight: I would also bounce the router to make sure you don't have an IP conflict
[02:59] <eatingthenight> Darkseg: I did drop all the client from it to make sure that wasn't happening about 10 minutes ago but going to try again after new cable.
[03:00] <eatingthenight> TJ-: checked pins / cable on both ends it all looks good
[03:00] <eatingthenight> new cable is doing exact same thing
[03:01] <TJ-> eatingthenight: OK, can you tell us the Ethernet PCI device ID [abcd:efgh] from 'lspci -nn' output?
[03:01] <Darkseg> eatingthenight: You could try and set a static ip GW, and DNS
[03:02] <eatingthenight> Darkseg: I did that before and it connects much faster but still same issue.
[03:03] <eatingthenight> TJ-: [10ec:8168]
[03:04] <TJ-> eatingthenight: I thought it might be. RealTek RTL-8169 driver
[03:04] <eatingthenight> poorly supported driver?
[03:05] <TJ-> eatingthenight: there is a common issue where the 8169 driver 'claims' that device (via modalias) but many users have the same issue; the solution is to use the Realtek proprietary drivers for the 8168.
[03:05] <eatingthenight> TJ-: ok so i am guess i need to download that on another computer and transfer it via usb?
[03:07] <TJ-> eatingthenight: do you see any errors in the kernel log ("/var/log/kern.log") ?
[03:10] <eatingthenight> TJ-: not the best at reading the kern.log but i see a ton of link up and a few link down.
[03:10] <eatingthenight> one stack trace that is from the eth0
[03:10] <TJ-> eatingthenight: OK. which Ubuntu release is it?
[03:10] <eatingthenight> 14.04
[03:12] <jason__> Okay I'm fairly certain now my booting issue has something to do with me screwing around with my video card drivers.
[03:12] <TJ-> There are several causes with the RTL8168. This is one of the reports I was referring to, although the cause was mostly fixed before 14.04 came out. bug 998200
[03:13] <TJ-> eatingthenight: there is also bug 126672
[03:13] <TJ-> eatingthenight: Try again! there is also bug 1266725
[03:13] <eatingthenight> haha
[03:13] <eatingthenight> seem like i should buy a new motherboard
[03:14] <eatingthenight> that would be my luck though haha
[03:14] <PreSSion> hello, 1 very fat question, to install ubuntu in surface pro 3, amd64 or intel?
[03:15] <PreSSion> hello, 1 very fat question, to install ubuntu in surface pro 3, amd64 or intel?
[03:16] <Bashing-om> jason__: ATI or Nvidia drivers ? One can purge and re-install the drivers .
[03:16] <jason__> Bashing-om, nvidia
[03:17] <Bashing-om> PreSSion: AMD64 and Intell are the same platform as far as the intall is .
[03:17] <claupr> hola
[03:17] <eatingthenight> TJ-: i found a wireless card in my spare parts. Going to try installing all updates on this machine see if it fixes anything.
[03:18] <PreSSion> thanks bashing
[03:18] <PreSSion> hola claupr
[03:18] <TJ-> eatingthenight: do you get a hit for this? "apt-cache policy r8168-dkms"
[03:19] <Bashing-om> jason__: Show us in a pastebin ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ; dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' . We then purge and (re-)install. see what the system is then .
[03:19] <TJ-> eatingthenight: if you can get the Wifi up, installing that DKMS package may be the solution. It should be in the 'universe' component of the archives
[03:19] <TJ-> !info r8168-dkms trusty | eatingthenight
[03:19] <eatingthenight> TJ-: it says unable to locate but im running an apt-get update now and will try again
[03:20] <eatingthenight> TJ-: did you find that in one of the bugs? just wondering how you found it so i can be a little more self sufficient in the future :)
[03:21] <TJ-> eatingthenight: I'm not sure if that package will also blacklist the r8169 module; so you may need to do that too to give the r8168 a chance
[03:21] <TJ-> eatingthenight: We've dealt with the same issue many times; I remembered the DKMS package and did "apt-cache search -n 8168' to find it
[03:21] <eatingthenight> TJ-: oook so that was experience :)
[03:22] <TJ-> eatingthenight: You sound like the Librarian :p
[03:23] <eatingthenight> TJ-: is that bad? :>
[03:24] <TJ-> eatingthenight: It's a Pratchett Discworld reference :)
[03:30]  * TJ- is doing a reboot for GRUB testing... may be gone some time
[03:30] <pi-panchito> quit
[03:30] <pi-panchito> q/
[03:34] <administrator_> mmm
[03:43] <Bashing-om> jason__: Did I loose you ? Did you see the :19 entry ?
[03:44] <jason__> Bashing-om, yeah sorry I think it's actually a different problem. I forgot this error I got "An error occurred while mounting /boot/efi".
[03:45] <Bashing-om> jason__: EFI is not in my experience, All I can do is fumble our way .
[03:46] <jason__> Bashing-om, I just booted with an older version of the kernel and everything looks good o_O
[03:48] <Bashing-om> jason__: A proprietary graphics driver in use ?
[03:50] <jason__> Bashing-om, I've messed with things now that I'm not sure at this point. But if I boot into 3.16.0-48 or -34 I have problems. If I boot into 3.16.0-30 everything is great.
[03:52] <Bashing-om> jason__: Humm .. proprietary driver ? ' sudo lshw -C display ' .
[03:54] <jason__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12304780/
[03:58] <Bashing-om> jason__: Nope, you have the open source driver ' nouveau ' installed. Presntly, I have no other idea to offer .
[04:04] <vickycq-> hi. What's the difference between package 'bcmwl-kernel-source' and 'broadcom-sta-dkms' ?
[04:39] <jason__> When it comes to using proprietary nvidia drivers, downloading the install script from the nvidia website seems to be the way to go.
[04:56] <jason__> Oh man. Tonight is just not my night for dealing with Ubuntu. I reinstalled my graphics drivers, thought I had it all working, then rebooted and everything goes nuts.
[05:03] <Kamuela> Are there any known issues with Ubuntu itself if you're running on a disk without much free space?
[05:06] <pragomer1> hi. does midnight commander have a queue feature?
[05:09] <jason__> Okay, so if I install new graphics drivers, and then start lightdm everything looks good. However when I reboot it doesn't persist. Any ideas?
[05:10] <ablest1980> hello how do i see processes
[05:11] <ablest1980> and how do i delete unnessary linx kernels
[05:11] <Ben64> "ps" and "sudo apt-get autoremove"

[05:32] <lotuspsychje> jason__: share your question in the channel instead
[05:32] <gpdev> No worries ;)
[05:33] <gioantrekminh> i have a problem, it is while  i uses and change Wifi, my ubuntu is breaking, i must restart my computer, i can use againt. Pelease help me
[05:33] <gioantrekminh> my ubuntu version:15.04
[05:33] <lotuspsychje> gioantrekminh: wich wifi chipset do you have mate?
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> !paste | gioantrekminh sudo lshw -C network
[05:35] <jason__> I'm having graphics drivers/lightdm problems. I can't even login when I boot. If I install the drivers package from nvidia in a terminal and then start lightdm, everything works and I can log in and everything looks great, but when I reboot it's back to the same issues.
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> jason__: ubuntu version and grpahics card version + driver please?
[05:35] <gioantrekminh> i am using a hostpost wifi, if i want to change (replace or chose other hostpost my ubuntu is breaking)
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> gioantrekminh: wifi chipset please?

[05:39] <ablest1980> 3.13.0-62-generic
[05:40] <jason__> lotuspsychje, Ubuntu 14.04. I'm not sure what drivers it's currently trying to load when it boots. The install script I'm using is 352.41.
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> jason__: did the drivers ubuntu choose not work well?
[05:41] <lotuspsychje> jason__: wich graphics card please?
[05:41] <jason__> lotuspsychje, I need certain GPU capabilities for my research. It's a geforce 760
[05:42] <jason__> lotuspsychje, but I feel like I have a bunch of issues all happening at once that makes it impossible to debug/resolve the situation. I can't even reliably get into a terminal now.
[05:43] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | jason__ enter the recoverymode
[05:43] <lotuspsychje> jason__: failsafeX or 'fix broken packages' from there
[05:46] <jason__> lotuspsychje, when I do either of those I get an error that the "Dirty bit is set. Fs not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt". Then it looks like it tries to scan for errors and "fsck /boot/efi [839] terminated with status 1".
[05:47] <lotuspsychje> jason__: dualboot or singleboot ubuntu?
[05:47] <jason__> lotuspsychje, single
[05:47] <lotuspsychje> jason__: fastboot and secureboot are disabled?
[05:48] <jason__> lotuspsychje, I can check. I haven't changed anything in the BIOS, though.
[05:48] <lotuspsychje> jason__: if its uefi both should be disabled
[05:51] <jason__> lotuspsychje, fastboot was off. secureboot only has the option to switch "OS type" between Windows UEFI mode and "Other OS"
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> ok
[05:53] <minty_d> hi I'm dona, could I please get a reservation code
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> jason__: if recoverymode cant recover might do the clean install afterall
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> minty_d: your on an ubuntu suport channel here
[05:54] <minty_d> ok on linuxmint.com it says to go to chat for registration code

[06:05] <nug700> yea.. still getting screen tearing on amazon instant video
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> nug700: did you try other graphics drivers yet
[06:06] <nug700> what's the best way to update?
[06:06] <nug700> (or downgrade)
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> nug700: the additional drivers section does it all for you to switch
[06:07] <nug700> does this search from the ppa the driver is in?
[06:07] <hateball> nug700: Are you getting tearing with nvidia card and proprietary driver?
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> nug700: we dont support ppa's here mate, thats on your own risk
[06:08] <nug700> well it's the people on this channel that told me to use the PPa
[06:08] <hateball> lotuspsychje: iirc he has a 970 card that isnt supported without PPA drivers
[06:09] <hateball> so there's not really much option
[06:09] <nug700> mhm
[06:09] <hateball> nug700: you can try running this in a terminal: nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
[06:09] <kalby> does anyone ever try to edit /sysctl, in the sake of increasing internet speed?
[06:10] <hateball> as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Avoid_tearing_with_GeForce_500.2F600.2F700.2F900_series_cards
[06:12] <nug700> hateball: the command disables 2 of my monitors
[06:12] <nug700> but I guess that's ok because I turn them both off for watching movies anyway
[06:12] <hateball> nug700: oh, it could be adjusted to allow for multiple monitors I suppose, I don't know the syntax tho. hmmm
[06:13] <hateball> nug700: anyhow, did it fix the tearing?
[06:13] <nug700> testing now
[06:15] <nug700> It removes the tearing. However I'm getting 1/4 second freezes in the playback.
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> nug700: did you try vlc also for tearing yet?
[06:17] <nug700> I would but don't have a good test video for it
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> nug700: download a 720p or 1080p sample somewhere
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> nug700: if vlc plays flawless, could be flash related tearing/freeze
[06:27] <BruhLuuh> ........

[06:27] <lotuspsychje> BruhLuuh: can we help you?
[06:27] <BruhLuuh> I'm sure that you can. I'm just looking around right now.
[06:28] <nug700> well playing it in google chrome instead of firefox fixes the freezing, and the nvidia command fixed the tearing.
[06:28] <BruhLuuh> Any audio ppl in here?
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> BruhLuuh: ask your ubuntu question
[06:29] <jason__> I've never seen someone just browsing an IRC channel.
[06:30] <BruhLuuh> I'm brand new to UBUNTU
[06:30] <nug700> plays find on vlc
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> !studio | BruhLuuh audio ppl here
[06:30] <penos> BUNTU is great
[06:30] <mehdip2007> hi fellas how can i write a premanent route?
[06:31] <BruhLuuh> Is there a better DAW than Ardour?
[06:31] <mehdip2007> or tell me when should i put this line "sudo ip route add <IP_ADDRESS>/16 via <IP_ADDRESS>" to make it permanent
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> mehdip2007: maybe the ##networking guys can help with that?
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> BruhLuuh: http://alternativeto.net/software/ardour/?platform=linux
[06:32] <mehdip2007> lotuspsychje: is that a channel?
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> mehdip2007: correct
[06:38] <Halion> mmm
[06:38] <Halion> si che funziona molto bene
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> !it | Halion
[06:38] <nug700> ffs it's still studdering...
[06:38] <nug700> less though
[06:39] <Halion> lotuspsychje:  thanks a lot ... sorry to bother you
[06:39] <Halion> i go also in this channel
[06:39] <Halion> thanks :)
[06:39] <lotuspsychje> nug700: on vlc?
[06:39] <nug700> no on amazon.
[06:39] <nug700> vlc works fine
[06:39] <nug700> and youtube
[06:39] <lotuspsychje> nug700: then its flash related
[06:39] <lotuspsychje> nug700: try on chromium
[06:41] <Halion> mmm
[06:44] <nug700> lotuspsychje: it wants me to install flash
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> !broadcom | kalby
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> nug700: flash on firefox is about to die, try chromium instead
[06:45] <nug700> chromium + flash?
[06:45] <hateball> nug700: for flash in chromium you need pepperflash
[06:45] <hateball> apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> hateball: there are other distro's that working on pepperflash for firefox also, might be good news in the future for us :p
[06:46] <hateball> (which downloads the latest chrome build and rips out the .so and does some config)
[06:46] <hateball> lotuspsychje: well I use chromium so :p
[06:48] <nug700> The video player works but I get no video playing with chromium + pepperflash
[06:48] <hateball> nug700: on youtube or what?
[06:49] <nug700> amazon
[06:49] <hateball> youtube for the most part should be using html5
[06:49] <nug700> youtube works fine
[06:49] <hateball> oh amazon... dont they use some DRM thing that only chrome supports?
[06:49] <nug700> I got it to work on firefox
[06:49] <nug700> but has studdering
[06:49] <nug700> ther is studdering on chrome also, but not as much
[06:51] <nug700> guess I'll just bite the bullet and try to run it on a windows 10 VM tomorrow
[06:51] <hateball> nug700: can you see if your system load is high? or if it's bandwidth related?
[06:51] <nug700> bite the bullet tonight*
[06:51] <nug700> well if it was bandwidth related I'd get a loading circle, not a 1/4 second pause
[06:51] <hateball> nug700: suppose you could try running chrome in wine, see if the windows version of flash works nicer
[06:54] <nug700> and in regards to system load, I have an 07-4790, q6GB of RAM, an SSD, and a GTX 970 and I'm only running 4 programs
[06:54] <nug700> i7*
[06:54] <nug700> 16GB*
[06:54] <nug700> can't type tonight :P
[06:55] <Bernzel> I installed websitebased drivers from AMD and need them gone now. Are those drivers classed as xorg drivers? If so I had thought of --purge xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx* ?
[06:55] <EriC^^> Bernzel: sometimes there's an uninstall.sh script in /usr/share/ati or so
[06:56] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type dpkg -l | grep fglrx and paste in paste.ubuntu.com
[06:57] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12305533/
[06:58] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
[06:58] <EriC^^> then type sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[06:58] <EriC^^> then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-ati
[06:59] <Bernzel> Ok just to be clear so we are thinking of the same thing, I want to remove the drivers I downloaded by hand and use those proprietary ones with ubuntu
[07:01] <jason__> Whew, I may not need to reinstall Ubuntu afterall. I mounted my / partition from a live CD, set up a chroot and purged a bunch of packages and I can get into a terminal now :)
[07:01] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, you installed them by running their command and it made a .deb and that was installed right?
[07:01] <Bernzel> EriC^^, correct!
[07:01] <Bernzel> should I still run those commands?
[07:01] <EriC^^> ok, type sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
[07:02] <EriC^^> wait
[07:02] <EriC^^> type apt-cache policy fglrx
[07:02] <Bernzel> already run the command.
[07:02] <Bernzel> Y/n screen saved me
[07:03] <EriC^^> paste it please
[07:03] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[07:03] <EriC^^> ty
[07:04] <EriC^^> link doesn't work
[07:04] <EriC^^> which ubuntu version do you have?
[07:04] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://pastebin.com/nMqxKwaF
[07:04] <Bernzel> 14.04 I think
[07:05] <auronandace> cat /etc/issue
[07:05] <EriC^^> !info fglrx trusty
[07:06] <EriC^^> Bernzel: looks like you're already using the one from ubuntu
[07:06] <Bernzel> EriC^^, yes but the drivers from AMD's site is also installed, which is why my graphics is messed up I like to believe
[07:07] <greenride> I'm trying to understand the ufw default rules. What does the default permit? Tutorials state that everything is denied with some exceptions to make life easier for home users.
[07:07] <hateball> nug700: flash on linux is horrible. your system specs dont say anything about the actual system load
[07:07] <EriC^^> Bernzel: do you still have the .deb files?
[07:08] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Dont think so, I found "amd-driver-installer-15.20....zip" with a run file in it though
[07:09] <EriC^^> ok, try sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
[07:10] <Bernzel> EriC^^, ok, then?
[07:10] <EriC^^> then type sudo apt-get install fglrx
[07:11] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type cat /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log
[07:11] <Silenced_v2> I am not able to install the official updates from ubuntu. I get a dialogue stating "Need to install packages from untrusty... ". What should i do now ?
[07:11] <Seveas> Silenced_v2: disable third party repos that caused this.
[07:11] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  there was no such directory
[07:12] <Bernzel> or file
[07:12] <EriC^^> hmm ok
[07:12] <Bernzel> I dont have that share folder
[07:12] <Silenced_v2> Seveas: I don't know which third party app . How to find it ?
[07:13] <Seveas> Silenced_v2: well, you added some repos, disable them.
[07:14] <EriC^^> Bernzel: did you run sudo apt-get purge then install?
[07:15] <jason_> okay so while trying to fix my install, I somehow installed the new ubuntu desktop and am not a fan of the new style. Is there a way to roll back?
[07:15] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Yes.
[07:15] <EriC^^> ok, i think you didn't have the drivers from amd installed, not sure
[07:15] <EriC^^> anyways, try to restart see how it goes
[07:16] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Ok I will. Just to meantion , Catalyst Control Center is installed. Brb restart.
[07:17] <notafads> anyone got a good idea how to setup a raid 10 on ubuntu install?
[07:17] <notafads> getting a little stuck
[07:18] <kalby> notafads: what kind of problem you have?
[07:18] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Back. And not sure how to know if it's done, but my graphic issues remain.
[07:18] <notafads> kalby, well the installer only really lets you do raid 0 or raid 1 and i have found a lot of conflicting information on how to get it set up
[07:18] <notafads> as far as i am aware atleast
[07:20] <notafads> thanks in advance if anyone is willing to help :)
[07:20] <kalby> notafads: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID, did you try this?
[07:20] <notafads> it specifically talks about "Warning: the /boot filesystem cannot use any softRAID level other than 1 with the stock Ubuntu bootloader."
[07:20] <notafads> i have seen it thank you thought :) kalby
[07:23] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type apt-cache policy fglrx
[07:23] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://pastebin.com/0R59VL3w
[07:25] <jason_> Somehow I screwed up my desktop environment where applications no longer display the menus (File, Edit, ...) at the top. Any ideas?
[07:25] <xangua> jason_ can you try to describe better what you did?
[07:26] <EriC^^> Bernzel: seems the same package was reinstalled
[07:26] <jason_> xangua, I did a lot of stuff. Including uninstalling/reinstalling ubuntu-desktop, deleting some file that contained my "gnome settings", and a dozen other things.
[07:27] <EriC^^> Bernzel: maybe you need to run catalyst control? are you sure you were using the proprietary amd drivers before and not the opensource ones?
[07:28] <Bernzel> EriC^^, I think I installed the open source ones before since I came from windows. Then I learned you could apply them in Additional Drivers and did that.
[07:28] <EriC^^> ok
[07:28] <xangua> jason_ if you reinstall the ubuntu-desktop metapackage it should install back anything you removed from Vanilla Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[07:29] <kunji1> Why would make claim a clock skew of ~42000 seconds when checking with date the file modification time is definitely not in the future, let alone that far?
[07:31] <jason_> xangua, I just did a purge and install of ubuntu-desktop. I guess I had an old version of it, too, because things looks completely different now.
[07:32] <kroq-gar78> I'm having problems finding the 'parallel' package on a 12.04.5 setup, but I can find it on another. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?
[07:35] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-fglrx
[07:35] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type dpkg -l | grep xserver-driver-fglrx
[07:36] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Nothing happened when running them?

[07:39] <MrCrypto> http://elitez.blog.com/?s=astaraos&submit=Search
[07:39] <MrCrypto> there
[07:39] <kloeri> MrCrypto: enough already
[07:39] <ghormoon> hi, I've just stumbled upon that my friend on ubuntu, if he runs a bash script containing "exit 0" in terminal, the terminal exits too. does he have something broken or is it "normal"? (I've never seen this so far, though I don't use ubuntu :P)
[07:39] <MrCrypto> like i care
[07:39] <Bernzel> EriC^^, 15.20.1046-x86
[07:40] <EriC^^> Bernzel: hmm, try the open source ones maybe?
[07:41] <Bernzel> EriC^^, The weird thing is that Steam complains about not using direct rendering. And Wine says my graphics card isn't supported and list it as an ATI Radeon 8500 series but it's a Sapphire 6950
[07:42] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
[07:42] <EriC^^> maybe it'll say which driver it's using
[07:42] <EriC^^> go to additional drivers and see
[07:42] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: good morning
[07:42] <EriC^^> good morning lotuspsychje
[07:44] <EriC^^> Bernzel: also type lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA
[07:44] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://pastebin.com/9tiFu3Dw and Im using Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators from fglrx(proprietary)
[07:44] <Bernzel> EriC^^, last command: http://pastebin.com/Pp9gLrdX
[07:47] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try  /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test --print
[07:47] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  http://pastebin.com/rAYd2UH7
[07:49] <EriC^^> Bernzel: maybe try the latest driver from the amd website?
[07:50] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Hm I guess. What's the procedure for that? Remove the ubuntu drivers first?
[07:50] <EriC^^> yeah type sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
[07:53] <Bernzel> EriC^^, I guess it's the Proprietary Linux x86 drivers from the website?
[07:53] <EriC^^> yeah
[07:54] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  Ok it's the same version that I had downloaded before. So how do I install that run file again?
[07:54] <EriC^^> cd to the dir and type sudo ./file.sh
[07:57] <Bernzel> EriC^^, hm command not found
[07:57] <EriC^^> type ls *.sh
[07:58] <Bernzel> no such file or dir
[07:58] <Bernzel> cannot access though
[07:58] <EriC^^> are you in the extracted dir?
[07:58] <Bernzel> Yes
[07:59] <Bernzel> must it be a special dir?
[07:59] <EriC^^> type ls -l and paste please
[07:59] <Bernzel> http://pastebin.com/R7kVJRwS
[08:00] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, type sudo ./amd..<use tab completion>....run
[08:02] <Bernzel> EriC^^, my tab completion is not doing well
[08:02] <EriC^^> did you put ./amd ?
[08:02] <Bernzel> yepp
[08:02] <EriC^^> hmm type
[08:03] <EriC^^> chmod +x amd<tab>.run
[08:03] <Bernzel> yeah tab completion worked. But running the command didn't do anything
[08:04] <EriC^^> sudo ./amd....run ?
[08:04] <EriC^^> type head -1 amd...run
[08:04] <Bernzel> sudo ./amd worked now
[08:04] <EriC^^> ok
[08:05] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  http://pastebin.com/48abPEXL during install
[08:07] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type sudo apt-get install dh-modaliases execstack dpkg-dev debhelper
[08:07] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Catalyst is stuck in install progress. Should I run this in another terminal simultaneously ?
[08:07] <EriC^^> did it install or it hung?
[08:08] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  I got an error message that directed me to that log file. Then it hung I guess.
[08:08] <EriC^^> ok, press ctrl+c
[08:08] <Bernzel> EriC^^, on what? where?
[08:08] <EriC^^> in the terminal where it is hung
[08:09] <Bernzel> ok
[08:09] <Bernzel> then run the command?
[08:09] <EriC^^> yeah run apt-get install ...
[08:11] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  it didn't find any of them
[08:12] <EriC^^> hmm
[08:12] <EriC^^> i have them installed, type apt-cache policy debhelper
[08:13] <Bernzel> EriC^^, it gave me http://pastebin.com/rGHcYzR5
[08:13] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, type sudo apt-get install debhelper
[08:14] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  ok , then run the install command again?
[08:15] <EriC^^> did it install? you still need to install execstack dh-modaliases and dpkg-dev
[08:16] <Bernzel> yes it did. This command: sudo apt-get install dh-modaliases execstack dpkg-dev debhelper ?
[08:18] <EriC^^> Bernzel: yeah
[08:18] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  Finished.
[08:18] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, try installing the amd driver
[08:21] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  Might need to restart first. Seem like the previous install attempt frooze completely and is blocking my new install somehow.
[08:22] <EriC^^> ok
[08:22] <EriC^^> try sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati
[08:24] <notafads> anyone got a good idea how to setup a raid 10 on ubuntu install?

[08:27] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try sudo apt-get install xorg-video-abi-11

[08:29] <Lauer> Hi, I have a server which hangs every time its try to read a specific processes /proc/[pid]/cmdfile
[08:29] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Done.
[08:30] <Lauer> How can I solve that? The processes is in D mode, så a kind of sleep
[08:30] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, you want to try to install the amd one?
[08:30] <Lauer> see http://paste.ubuntu.com/12305943/
[08:30] <Bernzel> EriC^^, I guess. As long as it works Im happy.
[08:31] <EriC^^> ok, try to run the installer
[08:32] <Bernzel> EriC^^, It's running. But sort of stuck/hung on Generating package Ubuntu/trusty
[08:32] <EriC^^> Bernzel: yeah, that takes a long time
[08:32] <Bernzel> ah okey
[08:35] <Lauer> EriC^^, could you have a look on my issue?
[08:37] <EriC^^> Lauer: no idea, maybe ask in ##linux
[08:37] <Lauer> okay, I will
[08:38] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  its done. It says I must save my x window configuration file and run aticonfig--initial ?
[08:39] <EriC^^> Bernzel: yeah, try aticonfig --initial
[08:39] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  hmm command not found. copied straight off
[08:42] <Bernzel> is it a vital command to run?
[08:44] <EriC^^> Bernzel: hmm i dunno, i think it's better
[08:45] <EriC^^> try sudo updatedb , then type locate aticonfig
[08:46] <Bernzel> neither command gave anything
[08:46] <EriC^^> i wonder if anybody knows how i can make as if i unplugged the iphone and then plugged it back in, i put a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d for when the laptop resumes cause it loses the iphone and it doesn't work unless you plug it out and back in
[08:47] <EriC^^> Bernzel: hmm, type apt-cache policy fglrx
[08:48] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306009/
[08:48] <EriC^^> Bernzel: odd, try dpkg -l | grep fglrx
[08:49] <EriC^^> Bernzel: oh i think you need to manually install the .deb packages it made
[08:49] <AbdoTGM50_> acn someone tell me where to find the log for this channel?
[08:49] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  ah okey. How? ^^
[08:49] <EriC^^> !logs | AbdoTGM50_
[08:49] <AbdoTGM50_> thanks
[08:49] <EriC^^> Bernzel: cd to the dir where they are installed then type sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[08:50] <Bernzel> EriC^^, ok. How do I find the deb packages? Have no clue where they installed
[08:51] <EriC^^> Bernzel: they should be in the same dir as the installer was
[08:53] <Bernzel> EriC^^, oh yes! Alot of them actually. From my many attempts I suppose
[08:53] <Bernzel> or is it suppose to be generated a lot of them?
[08:54] <EriC^^> i think like 3-4
[08:54] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  Running the command: "dpkg: error: need an action option."
[08:55] <EriC^^> did you put -i?
[08:55] <Bernzel> my fault.
[08:55] <Bernzel> now they are done
[08:55] <Bernzel> or not. Got errors again
[08:56] <EriC^^> what did it say?

[09:19] <TarterK> Hi, I'm trying to copy my Chrome settings over from Windows. I replaced the Profile folder ("Default") with the old one. It loads my tabs (I probably have 150-200 across 10 windows) but then it says "ERROR:shared_memory_posix.cc(290)] Creating shared memory in /dev/shm/.com.google.Chrome.NJFJF3 failed: Too many open files" and "FATAL:memory.cc(18)] Out of memory. size=4194304"
[09:20] <TarterK> I tried increasing limits by modifying /etc/security/limits.conf of nofile and logging in and out.
[09:21] <TarterK> I have 32 GB of RAM
[09:21] <TarterK> Usually opening Chrome with my windows/tabs takes 9 GB of that or so
[09:23] <Rhino_Crash> Hello guys, I am running a simple script (http://pastebin.com/7AnHigHk) to supervise over my server. The problem is that it is running at one server and crashes on another. Could someone take a look? Server saves stat file. Watchdog search for it and restart process if the stat file is missing. On a problematic pc I am getting: /home/user/folder/subfolder/_region_monitor.sh: 27: /home/user/folder/subfolder/_region_monitor.sh:
[09:23] <Rhino_Crash>  len: not found
[09:25] <TarterK> Rhino_Crash, I think you need to prefix your variable names with $
[09:25] <TarterK> Rhino_Crash, line 27 would be: if (( $len > 10 ))
[09:25] <Rhino_Crash> TarteK Thank you very much for responding to me! Well, please, could you give me the change what you mean in code?
[09:26] <Rhino_Crash> TarteK Trying that! :)
[09:28] <Bernzel> EriC^^, you there?
[09:35] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: seems like he isn't here, tell uncle Chuck what it is :p
[09:35] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, Thanks uncle Chuck! I will, in a minute! gotta put out a fire in my home first!
[09:35] <Rhino_Crash> TarterK I checked that and now - Making a change suggested on IRC, line 27 would be: if (( $len > 10 )) - Then I get this: /home/user/folder/subfolder/_region_monitor.sh: 27: /home/user/folder/subfolder/_region_monitor.sh: 24129: not found
[09:40] <TarterK> Rhino_Crash, try changing line 27 to this: if (("$len" < "10"))
[09:40] <TarterK> Sorry, I meant greater than.
[09:40] <TarterK> if (("$len" > "10"))
[09:40] <EriC^^> Bernzel: yes, im back
[09:40] <Rhino_Crash> TarterK Doing it, very appreciated, your help!
[09:42] <TarterK> Rhino_Crash, No problem. I'm gonna log out and back in. I'll be a few seconds. :P
[09:49] <jeams> 	  Getting following error while running the the nodedev-create command.
[09:50] <jeams> root@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/home/vagrant# virsh nodedev-create node.xml error: Failed to create node device from node1.xml error: internal error: Device is not a fibre channel HBA
[09:50] <jeams> have any idea regarding this
[09:54] <Rhino_Crash> TarterK It is doing the same :( /home/user/folder/subfolder/_region_monitor.sh: 27: /home/user/folder/subfolder/_region_monitor.sh: 24129: not found.
[09:56] <Rhino_Crash> TarterK I added to my paste with the problem also  the 2 rows in a script starting that server. But that works. - http://pastebin.com/7AnHigHk
[10:00] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Great. I was wondering about step 4 on the solution. What exactly should I change in the "control" file?
[10:01] <TarterK> Rhino_Crash, try: if [[ "$len" -gt 10 ]]
[10:01] <Rhino_Crash> TarteK I am going to try that. What "-gt" will do?
[10:02] <TarterK> Rhino_Crash, greater than
[10:02] <TarterK> Rhino_Crash, also if that doesn't work, try with only one square bracket on each side.
[10:04] <Rhino_Crash> TarterK OK, sure I will try both, those brackets - are generally better to use?
[10:04] <TarterK> Rhino_Crash, Not sure. I'm just Googling each of your error messages.
[10:06] <TarterK> Rhino_Crash, I'm logging out and back in again.
[10:07] <Rhino_Crash> TarterK - I would be faster in my responses, just to start the server takes those 2 minutes. Thank you for your patience and googling as well :)
[10:08] <tinyhippo>  /12
[10:08] <Rhino_Crash> TarterK 1st variant did not help, trying one bracket I got - [[: not found
[10:09] <ws2k3> is it possible to make a cron that runs at 30 minets? so 00:30 01:30 02:30 etc ? how should i do something like that
[10:10] <Amoz> ws2k3, specify 30 in the minute field
[10:10] <ws2k3> Amoz so that would be 30 * * * * ?
[10:13] <Amoz> ws2k3, looks like it yes
[10:15] <Rhino_Crash> TarterK You are getting there! :)) I got the number 24129 in terminal with watchdog, so it did not restart immediately. It also removes stat file. I will test now the failure of the server. This is great help!
[10:15] <EriC^^> Bernzel: can you paste the current control file?
[10:16] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306328/
[10:18] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, remove libopencl from Conflicts: Provides and Replaces
[10:19] <Bernzel> EriC^^, done. Nothing else?
[10:20] <EriC^^> nope
[10:21] <Rhino_Crash> TarterK My region was restarted, you made my day to be much better now :) What was the reason to change:   if (( len > 10 ))  to if [ "$len" -gt 10 ], especially those brackets? For all, is -gt in command better than > ?
[10:23] <jjavah0lic> how can i change the default touchpad behaviours?
[10:25] <EriC^^> jjavah0lic: there are some settings in settings > mouse & touchpad
[10:26] <Bernzel> EriC^^, I got system warning when executing step 6(installing) http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306360/
[10:27] <tos-1> Rhino_Crash: (( and [[ are bash specific. They are syntax for arithmetic resp. conditional expressions. "[" is an ordinary program called test(1).
[10:27] <tos-1> Rhino_Crash: Try to `man bash` and `man test` for further details and explanations.
[10:28] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try sudo apt-get install linux-generic
[10:28] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Ok. And then run the install command again?
[10:29] <EriC^^> did it install the latest kernel and headers?
[10:29] <EriC^^> type uname -r and also dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[10:30] <jjavah0lic> i just disabled and re-enabled touchpad using settings > mouse & touchpad and xorg0.log reports "synaptics: DLLC6AE:00 06CB:75BF UNKNOWN: touchpad found"
[10:31] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  I think it got installed. None errors reported. This is the output from uname etc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306371/
[10:32] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, please type dpkg -l | grep linux-headers too
[10:32] <trash1> i need some help
[10:32] <jjavah0lic> and my xorg0.log is littered with: http://pastebin.com/YPPghUYG
[10:32] <trash1> i have implemented a second panel. one at the top. one at the buttom. the one at the button is dynamic. because of that i cannot click on it with right click in order to delete it since all position are occupied with progs or whatever. however, i would need to click on an empty place on the panel. can anyone help me to delete this sec. panel?
[10:32] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306377/
[10:33] <Rhino_Crash> tos-1 Thank you for your response. As I understand it, when I want to deploy my script on more PCs, I should use [ true?
[10:34] <trash1> i'm new to linux/lubuntu... just started 2 days ago
[10:34] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[10:35] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, type apt-get purge linux-generic and don't press Y just paste the packages it says it will remove
[10:35] <trash1> hello?
[10:35] <EriC^^> Bernzel: you're using the lts-vivid kernels so i think you should remove the linux-generic package so it doesn't keep installing both kernels all the time and just the lts-vivid ones
[10:36] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306386/
[10:36] <Bernzel> EriC^^, okey. How do I do that?
[10:37] <EriC^^> ok type sudo apt-get purge linux-image linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic and please paste what it says it will remove
[10:37] <EriC^^> wait
[10:37] <EriC^^> ok type sudo apt-get purge linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic and please paste what it says it will remove
[10:38] <Bernzel> Ok.
[10:38] <Bernzel> Y/n?
[10:39] <EriC^^> don't press y yet, just paste what it says it will remove
[10:39] <Bernzel> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306391/
[10:39] <EriC^^> ok press y
[10:40] <tos-1> Rhino_Crash: If all PCs have bash installed you can use bash specific syntax, however, use #!/bin/bash as shebang and not /bin/sh, if you do the latter, stick with test(1).
[10:40] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  done!
[10:40] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, type sudo apt-get autoremove
[10:46] <jjavah0lic> what is tap to click?
[10:46] <Bernzel> EriC^^, done.
[10:47] <Bernzel> Did get an error not found though
[10:47] <Rhino_Crash> tos-1 This is great suggestion (I just copied #!/bin/sh from another script, not thinking more of it). Thank you. The function I needed works for me now. :) All helpful people will be added in the coments of my scripts! :)
[10:48] <EriC^^> Bernzel: what eror?
[10:48] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306421/
[10:48] <EriC^^> jjavah0lic: it's when you tap on the touchpad to click
[10:48] <Bernzel> EriC^^, kernel header not found. Line 77
[10:50] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, type sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-3.19.0-25-generic linux-headers-3.19.0-27-generic
[10:50] <EriC^^> then type sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.19.0-25-generic linux-headers-3.19.0-27-generic

[10:51] <samba_> hi there, I've an ubuntu 14.04 in UEFI mode, I'd like to fix the boot, as per now I can't boot automatically but I need to select the boot in BIOS mode..
[10:51] <Bernzel> should I carry on executing the second?
[10:51] <samba_> this is my pastebin of the boot conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/12302995/
[10:52] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok try it
[10:52] <samba_> I red several guide, but still not able to config grub+ubuntu14.04+uefi
[10:52] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type dpkg -l | grep linux-headers
[10:52] <EriC^^> samba_: are you dual booting?
[10:52] <samba_> no
[10:52] <Bernzel> EriC^^, reinstall headers first?  Visit >>> www.VALBOT.com <<< FREE DOMAIN VALUATION! or GOOGLE >>> www.VALBOT.com <<< |||||
[10:53] <EriC^^> Bernzel: grep linux-headers first
[10:53] <MPenguin> Hi all. What may be the reason that I can access the Ubuntu Server webpages through a browser, but I can't ping or ssh to the server?
[10:54] <Bernzel> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306444/
[10:54] <MPenguin> My server is hosting a Moodle install. I can access Moodle no problem, but can't SSH or ping the server.
[10:54] <samba_> sshd service status? firewall, bad routes
[10:55] <samba_> EriC^^: yes ubuntu
[10:55] <MPenguin> It was working fine 2 weeks ago, then a router at my school went bad. Today I moved the server to another office, but didn't change the IP or anything. It *should* be working fine.
[10:55] <EriC^^> samba_: i think you're missing the boot entry in the efibootmgr
[10:55] <MPenguin> When I get physical access to the server, how can I check the firewall/bad routes?
[10:55] <EriC^^> samba_: type sudo efibootmgr -v and paste it please
[10:56] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, it looks good
[10:56] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try to restart
[10:56] <NEone> Hi. I used the Ubuntu 14.04. default repo for openvpn, therefor had openvpn 2.3.x (I think 2.3.6.). Was able to use sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start <name-of-config> . Now I added the openvpn community PPA, therefor have 2.3.8. The mentioned command doesn't work anymore. Error complains about not able to enter user/pass on commandline. How to make that command work again? Need to change the script in /etc/in
[10:56] <NEone> it.d/openvpn ?
[10:56] <Bernzel> EriC^^, my system?
[10:56] <EriC^^> Bernzel: yes
[10:58] <samba_> EriC^^:  the output partition seems ok, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306461
[10:58] <samba_> MPenguin: try to traceroute your server using the ip..
[10:59] <Bernzel> EriC^^: you there?
[10:59] <EriC^^> samba_: yes, there's no ubuntu entry there
[10:59] <EriC^^> yes
[10:59] <samba_> MPenguin: then check where it blocks
[10:59] <samba_> EriC^^: ok, soo.. how can I set an ubuntu entry in there?
[11:00] <MPenguin> samba_ would that be the last entry before the "request timed out"?
[11:00] <ajnouri> how can I redirect the ouytput of "ls" (text files) to "cat"
[11:00] <Bernzel> EriC^^: I cant enter my system anymore. Anytime I try login in, ubuntu makes a drum nouise and then takes me back to log in screen
[11:00] <samba_> MPenguin: yes, check that
[11:00] <MPenguin> Got it. Thanks. Something amiss at my school. Guess I'll be calling the IT department tomorrow.
[11:00] <EriC^^> samba_: type sudo parted -l and paste it please
[11:01] <EriC^^> Bernzel: hmm, press ctrl+alt+f1 then login
[11:02] <samba_> EriC^^:  here it is the parted -l : http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306481
[11:02] <Bernzel> I just got blackscreen now EriC^^
[11:02] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, hold shift when the pc boots to get grub, then go to advanced > recovery
[11:03] <EriC^^> then drop to root shell, type mount -o remount,rw /
[11:03] <EriC^^> then type sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
[11:03] <EriC^^> and sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati
[11:04] <EriC^^> samba_: type sudo efibootmgr -c -w -l \\EFI\\ubuntu\\grubx64.efi -L "ubuntu" -p 1 -d /dev/sda
[11:04] <EriC^^> ill brb in a sec
[11:05] <Bernzel> EriC^^: I got many options. Ubuntu with Linux 3.19.0-26-generic (recovery mode) etc.. three of those recovery
[11:05] <Bernzel> 28, 26 and 63 generic
[11:07] <EriC^^> ok choose 28
[11:08] <samba_> EriC^^: efibootmgr ran, but I can't see any change in it
[11:08] <EriC^^> sudo efibootmgr -v returns the same?
[11:09] <samba_> yes.. the same. I'm wondering if the path with backslash \\, are you sure? I mean.. is this syntax correct?
[11:10] <EriC^^> samba_: yes the syntax is correct, try sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot
[11:10] <Bernzel> EriC^^: I ran reinstall command and some packages couldn't be installed. "You have held broken packages"
[11:10] <EriC^^> maybe your bios will only take the windows efi file
[11:10] <EriC^^> samba_: also type sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/Boot
[11:10] <samba_> EriC^^: the dir exists
[11:10] <EriC^^> samba_: ok, type ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot and paste please
[11:11] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try sudo apt-get -f install
[11:11] <samba_> EriC^^:  here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306520
[11:12] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try to press ctrl+d then enable networking
[11:12] <Bernzel> EriC^^:  done.
[11:12] <EriC^^> samba_: ok, try sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi.backup
[11:13] <EriC^^> samba_: also, type ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/Boot and paste please
[11:13] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, did you purge fglrx ?
[11:14] <Bernzel> EriC^^:  I think so.
[11:14] <Bernzel> Should I do it again to be sure?
[11:14] <EriC^^> ok
[11:15] <samba_> EriC^^: done, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306546
[11:15] <EriC^^> samba_: ok, type sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup
[11:16] <EriC^^> samba_: do you have secureboot enabled?
[11:16] <samba_> no
[11:16] <EriC^^> ok
[11:16] <EriC^^> let me know when you've typed that
[11:16] <samba_> done
[11:18] <EriC^^> samba_: ok, type sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
[11:18] <EriC^^> samba_: also, type sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[11:19] <EriC^^> we're copying the ubuntu efi files and renaming them as the windows one, so the bios thinks it is booting windows
[11:20] <samba_> uhm.. ok but I don't have windnows neither previously..
[11:20] <Bernzel> EriC^^:  should I resume with normal boot or do anything else in Recovery menu?
[11:21] <EriC^^> samba_: yes, but some bios are hardcoded to only boot the windows one, and i think even if there's no entry in the efibootmgr it is hardcoded to boot EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[11:21] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati
[11:22] <Bernzel> EriC^^: still says I got broken packages.
[11:22] <samba_> EriC^^: ok, so should I reboot and test it, right?
[11:23] <arcetera> I'm trying to run touchegg (installed via sudo apt install touchegg), but touchpad gestures are not working
[11:23] <EriC^^> samba_: ok, if it doesn't work you can try to add the entry with the windows path
[11:23] <ipanchovski> this is cool program
[11:23] <arcetera> using Ubuntu 15.04 on a Dell Inspiron 17R 5737
[11:23] <EriC^^> samba_: type sudo efibootmgr -c -w -l \\EFI\\Microsoft\\Boot\\bootmgfw.efi -L "ubuntu" -p 1 -d /dev/sda
[11:23] <ersun> selam
[11:23] <arcetera> *kubuntu
[11:25] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try restarting
[11:25] <nadrimajstor> Hello everyone.
[11:25] <samba_> EriC^^: works! I've a grub efi bootloader now, thanks mate.. but where I can find some docs about efibootmgr.. this was not about the pkg installation.. this was about the .efi file need to be copied and no howto mention
[11:25] <EriC^^> samba_: did it work without the efibootmgr command?
[11:26] <EriC^^> i'm curious :>
[11:26] <samba_> :)
[11:26] <samba_> I rerun the efibootmgr commands before to reboot
[11:26] <EriC^^> oh ok
[11:26] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Im back on my ubuntu system! :)
[11:26] <samba_> but the output was the same, like before
[11:26] <EriC^^> oh ok
[11:26] <samba_> not sure if this cmd works inthis case
[11:27] <EriC^^> Bernzel: great! :)
[11:27] <samba_> this "hack" is permanent or should I do this everytime I'm going to upgrade?
[11:27] <arcetera> also
[11:27] <Bernzel> EriC^^, I do get System program problem detected window a couple of times
[11:27] <arcetera> I encrypted my home folder post-install, will I have issues when upgrading to a newer Ubuntu version (e.g. 15.10 when that's out)
[11:28] <EriC^^> samba_: it's permanent, but if grub is updated then you won't have the latest efi file, you'll have to copy it again
[11:28] <EriC^^> i mean if the grub package is updated and it makes a new grubx64.efi file
[11:29] <EriC^^> samba_: arch has a good wiki about uefi, and also there are other sites that have info about it
[11:29] <BluesKaj> EriC^^, why not just go with legacy mode in the UEFI/BIOS,  grub is sticky once installed
[11:30] <EriC^^> samba_: https://www.happyassassin.net/2014/01/25/uefi-boot-how-does-that-actually-work-then/
[11:30] <NEone> New version (2.3.8.) of openvpn throws an error to the log "cannot enter username/password from stdin, you need to use --askpass if you were using --daemon". Where do I add this --askpass option? Because the call the openvpn is handled by Ubuntu's init.d scripts! The only call I manually make from commandline is sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start <name-of-config> and then I want it to ask me for user/pass, but
[11:30] <NEone>  it doesn't anymore.
[11:30] <EriC^^> BluesKaj: it's up to him i guess, uefi boots quicker though and is newer
[11:31] <BluesKaj> EriC^^, agreed but at least he won't lose grub if it's updated
[11:31] <nadrimajstor> Vanilla 14.04 system, Extended desktop with two monitors: Every time I do alt-tab the Java's Swing GUI window disappears from the second monitor... Changing drivers do not help... Any idea what to try next?
[11:32] <EriC^^> he won't lose grub if it's updated, that's very unlikely
[11:32] <BluesKaj> EriC^^, ok , guess I misinterpreted your post above
[11:33] <arcetera> this is proving to be a massive pain in the ass
[11:36] <Bernzel> EriC^^, What was we doing before my system went haywire?
[11:36] <BluesKaj> arcetera, think if your  ~/ folder only changes it'smountpoint and you upgrade to 15.10 in / , you should be ok
[11:37] <EriC^^> i think you wanted to remove the amd fglrx and use the ubuntu proprietary one?
[11:37] <EriC^^> Bernzel: and we tried to install the latest amd one cause ubuntu's wasn't working :D
[11:37] <arcetera> now how do I get touchegg working? it doesn't recognize taps or swipes or flicks or anything at all and i have a headache from trying to get this to work
[11:37] <BluesKaj> arcetera, do you have separate / and  /home partitions?
[11:38] <arcetera> BluesKaj unfortunately, no
[11:38] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  Yeah I remember that much :p but did we finish it? Wasn't I using the solution from that post you linked?
[11:38] <BluesKaj> arcetera, :/
[11:38] <EriC^^> Bernzel: i can't remember about the ubuntu proprietary though, why did we not install that?
[11:38] <arcetera> then again
[11:39] <Bernzel> EriC^^, I remember it as we were going to use the drivers from AMD's website?
[11:39] <arcetera> the way I encrypted it was the same way Ubuntu would encrypt if I selected "encrypt home folder" upon install
[11:39] <EriC^^> Bernzel: yeah, why though
[11:39] <EriC^^> ?
[11:39] <Bernzel> I dont know. I thought it was not recommended
[11:40] <arcetera> konversation no
[11:40] <arcetera> please
[11:40] <EriC^^> after you changed the control file, you put the .deb together again and ran dpkg -i right?
[11:40] <BluesKaj> arcetera, if you upgrade via the 'net you might be ok , "do-release-upgrade"
[11:40] <arcetera> that's what i'm going to do
[11:41] <arcetera> if anything, make backups and pray to the lord
[11:41] <arcetera> lmao
[11:41] <Bernzel>  EriC^^ Yes. But I think I got errors doing so
[11:42] <arcetera> hm
[11:42] <BluesKaj> arcetera, next time you do a clean install set up separate / and /home partitions, you won't regret it.
[11:43] <EriC^^> Bernzel: while installing it?
[11:43] <Bernzel> I think so
[11:43] <arcetera> BluesKaj I'm aware, my single partition is the only thing that's keeping me from distrohopping to something else
[11:44] <arcetera> as much as I hate to say it I don't really trust canonical really and would rather just move to something that's not owned by a company
[11:44] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  The steam graphical issue isn't no more atleast? :s but Wine still complains about my graphics
[11:45] <EriC^^> what does wine say?
[11:45] <EriC^^> Bernzel: can you use apt right now?
[11:45] <EriC^^> try sudo apt-get -f install
[11:46] <arcetera> also just throwing a random tip out there
[11:46] <arcetera> use apt install rather than apt-get install for a progress bar
[11:46] <BluesKaj>  the advantage of separate partitions gices the option of installing the new OS or release to / without losing data on /home anmd all your config file remain thus saving your desktop and system settings
[11:46] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Unsupported video card detected! Continuing to run might lead to unexcpected results or crashes. It does recognize the right graphics card now though!
[11:46] <arcetera> BluesKaj, i'm aware
[11:46] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Yes I could run that command
[11:47] <arcetera> BluesKaj, I just can't be arsed to reinstall
[11:48] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-vivid libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid
[11:48] <arcetera> Even though I've only had this laptop for a few weeks I already have tons of games, applications, pictures...
[11:48] <arcetera> reinstalling would take days to set back up
[11:48] <arcetera> Then again I do have an external HDD, but my home folder is encrypted so :L
[11:49] <arcetera> i guess if i want to reinstall
[11:49] <arcetera> decrypt home -> copy home to external hdd -> install os -> copy home over -> encrypt home
[11:49] <arcetera> damn
[11:51] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  Appears it went through with success
[11:51] <EriC^^> Bernzel: ok, try to restart
[11:51] <EriC^^> wait
[11:51] <BluesKaj> personally if you're a home user, i don't see the point of encryption, if you're on the job and it's a requirement then it makes sense
[11:51] <EriC^^> try sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-core
[11:51] <arcetera> I'd prefer for my data not to be stolen if I lose this laptop
[11:52] <arcetera> That's all
[11:52] <ajnr> Please help me to solve the issue http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306181/
[11:52] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  done
[11:52] <EriC^^> Bernzel: is wine working?
[11:52] <EriC^^> you could also try sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-core
[11:53] <ajnr> how to delete the number from the following type of patterns like 76-----------------------------------------------------£univ
[11:53] <ioria> sed
[11:54] <Bernzel> EriC^^, well I haven't used wine before, but it still complains about my graphic cards. The game Im trying to launch might be the issue, but the fact that Wine complains about it mustn
[11:54] <Bernzel> be good
[11:54] <hateball> ajnr: sed 's/[0-9]//g'
[11:54] <ajnr> hateball, will it work on vi editor ?
[11:55] <hateball> ajnr: sed is it's command
[11:55] <BluesKaj> arcetera, if you lose your laptop with linux and you have a strong login pw, chances of losing your data are very low, besides encrypted or not. you data is gone unless it's backed up some where else
[11:55] <ioria> sed -e 's/^..//'   filename
[11:55] <EriC^^> i think you need sed '/^[0-9][0-9]//'
[11:55] <jdkkrnnxk3457> Test
[11:56] <EriC^^> ajnr: that will only work if you have 2 or less numbers at the start
[11:56] <ioria> he has
[11:56] <hateball> EriC^^: what I typed is enough to remove all numbers
[11:56] <hateball> regardless of position
[11:56] <hateball> which is what I assumed was what was wanted
[11:56] <arcetera> BluesKaj, is there a way to automatically back up my important data (as in, non hidden folders in the home folder)
[11:57] <EriC^^> hateball: it only removes 1 number, i think [0-9]* removes all
[11:57] <hateball> EriC^^: nope.
[11:57] <hateball> EriC^^: "echo abc123abc123 |sed 's/[0-9]//g'"
[11:57] <ajnr> hateball, will it remove the 0-9 digits only frlom these lines or from the patteren I have mentionjed
[11:57] <EriC^^> oh, cause of the g
[11:57] <hateball> ye
[11:57] <arcetera> also, are there even official intel drivers for ubuntu 15.04
[11:57] <hateball> ajnr: if you run it against a file it will remove *all* numbers
[11:57] <jdkkrnnxk3457> Help
[11:58] <hateball> ajnr: so if you only want to remove if it starts with numbers, then do what EriC^^ said and use ^
[11:58] <ajnr> hateball, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306712/ this is my actual texts
[11:59] <BluesKaj> arcetera, dunno, but backing it to a different pc in a different location is always best, like an outboard drive
[11:59] <EriC^^> yes, use sed 's/^[0-9]*//'
[12:00] <arcetera> also, how do I make Firefox text fields not look like shit with a dark Plasma/GTK theme
[12:01] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  so what drivers am I running now?
[12:01] <EriC^^> Bernzel: type lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA
[12:01] <ph1rmw4r3-222> Help with webservor?
[12:01] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Kernel driver in use: radeon .
[12:02] <EriC^^> ok, that's the open source ati driver
[12:02] <hateball> ajnr, EriC^^, seems vi also has :s for replacing text inside the working file
[12:02] <ph1rmw4r3-222> truck her right in the oussy I need help
[12:02] <EriC^^> hateball: nice
[12:04] <EriC^^> Bernzel: hmm
[12:04] <Slainv> Hello everyone, I was given a "transformer" PC/Tablet under ubuntu for work and was wondering whether there was any programme that would allow me to actually swipe pictures left and right around and work. I tried okular, gpicview, Geeqie, qThumb to no avail.
[12:04] <ph1rmw4r3-222> can anybody help me
[12:04] <Slainv> in fullscreen, by the way ^^ (sorry I did not tell))
[12:04] <ajnr> hateball, it remobes all the numbers from the texts :(
[12:04] <Bernzel> EriC^^, hmm indeed
[12:05] <ph1rmw4r3-222> my flash drive is stuck
[12:05] <hateball> ajnr: see what EriC^^ said, or read the manpage for sed
[12:05] <ph1rmw4r3-222> in my arse
[12:11] <EriC^^> Bernzel: which graphics card do you have? maybe there's info about using it with wine online
[12:11] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Sapphire HD 6950 2gb
[12:11] <ajnr> hateball, EriC^^ , So if  I have more than thousand line texts and I want to remove the digits starting from 1----------------------univ to 1267---------------------univ , I should use sed 's/^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]//g' is it ?
[12:12] <EriC^^> ajnr: no, use sed 's/^[0-9]*//'
[12:12] <the-administrdor> I get an arror when I boot apachie
[12:12] <ioria> ajnr : or you just remove the first 4 characters
[12:12] <ajnr> but i think this regex will remove *ALL* the numbers from the texts , is it ?
[12:13] <EriC^^> ajnr: no, don't put the g at the end
[12:13] <ioria> ajnr : try thiss sed -e 's/^....//'  filename
[12:13] <the-administrdor> Any help is appricaded http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306776/
[12:13] <KettleCooked> In Windows I use a neat "Test Mail Server Tool" which popups any mail sent on port 25 in my default mail client (thunderbird). I'm looking for something similar in Ubuntu Server, something that doesn't actually send messages, just notifies me they were created (this is for developing email part of web system). Know any such tool for Ubuntu?
[12:14] <ajnr> EriC^^, okey it works now
[12:14] <ajnr> thanks
[12:17] <the-administrdor> Any help is appricaded http://paste.ubuntu.com/12306776/
[12:20] <ThePendulum> I´m about to reinstall Ubuntu, and I need to decide between 14.04.3 and 15.04. Is there a quick comparison?
[12:20] <compdoc> 15.04 will go away in a short time
[12:21] <ThePendulum> I guess 16.04 will come soon enough to stick with 14.04 for another while
[12:22] <compdoc> Im sticking with 14.04 until the next LTS comes out
[12:22] <sardsurfer> Hi, I connected my laptop with Xubuntu 14.04 on a tv ldc http://data4tv.com/en/LG/32LE2R/ but this is a resolution that allows me to get the best overview. Is there anything I can do to fix? Thank you
[12:22] <sardsurfer> there's no*
[12:23] <Slainv> Hello, sorry to ask again, would there be any application useable on ubuntu 14.04 to be able on a touch screen to swipe left and right to go in full screen from one picture to another? I used various software but as for now was unable to find with this
[12:30] <EriC^^> Bernzel: maybe try reinstalling the .deb files and the modified one
[12:30] <octopoirot> hello, I have a list of some hundreds of text files I want to concatenate so that each file is a column in a csv.
[12:31] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Yeah. I will try another wine game first to see if that's the error
[12:32] <octopoirot> so I have like file 1: a,\nb,\nc, and file 2: d,\ne,\nf, and I want file: a,d,\nb,e,\nc,f,
[12:32] <compdoc> octopoirot, if no one here knows, try ##linux
[12:32] <octopoirot> I am mute, compdoc.
[12:33] <octopoirot> I have no mouth and I want to ask.
[12:33] <compdoc> and that means what?
[12:33] <compdoc> oh, in that channel?
[12:33] <octopoirot> yes.
[12:33] <compdoc> you have to register your nick, I guess
[12:33] <octopoirot> I tried to use paste but it had limits on number of files.
[12:34] <compdoc> 'If you can't talk identify with NickServ'
[12:34] <ioria> paste file1 file2 | column -s $'\t' -t
[12:34] <aedend> octopoirot, ^
[12:34] <octopoirot> I tried to use paste but it had limits on number of files.
[12:35] <ioria> in a script loop then
[12:36] <octopoirot> why use column in the titbit above?
[12:37] <ioria> It removes the tab delimiter
[12:37] <bernard_> Hi, I have a problem with the window manager? It shows a crashat startup for a second, now, for example, the part of a window where I can drag and drop the windows is black. How can I gather information on that error? Didnt find anything with dmesg so far
[12:38] <bernard_> I use gnome3
[12:40] <bernard_> More general: How to gather informations on errors that belong to gnome3 and similar?

[12:44] <moldy> hi
[12:45] <moldy> how do i get rid of all the desktop notificationss ("system program problem detected", updates etc.) on ubuntu/kubuntu 14.04?
[12:48] <ioria> moldy, /var/crash
[12:48] <barbasunday> hello, got an epson 6200L laserjet printer and cannot find out how to get him to print,any insight? ubuntu 14.04
[12:49] <moldy> ioria: thanks, that's a good hint. but i would actually like to disable all of this stuff.
[12:50] <moldy> ioria: i am considering apt-get purge notify-osd, but i guess there should be a better solution?
[12:50] <ioria> moldy, i think it'a apport...
[12:51] <ioria> moldy, but it's advisable to disable apport, it's said
[12:51] <ioria> *not
[12:51] <moldy> i really don't need apport or any of this
[12:51] <TJ-> moldy: If you wish to disable it, see "/etc/default/apport"
[12:52] <moldy> this is a temporary vm i am using for some web development while on holidays
[12:52] <moldy> TJ-: thanks!
[12:53] <moldy> is there a similar thing to disable all the desktop notifications?
[12:53] <moldy> specifically, the ones about updates
[12:54] <ioria> moldy, turn off update notifications in Software and Updates
[12:55] <aedend> barbasunday, maybe this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/epsonepl/  I looked on epsons website for driver for linux, didn't see any
[12:55] <moldy> ioria: ok, thanks, i think i found it
[12:55] <ioria> moldy, cheers
[12:56] <Bernzel> Ehm how can I cd into Program Files (x86) folder? tab completion dont work and "(" isn't allowecx
[12:57] <teward> Bernzel: um... that's a Windows thing, but if you're in the directory before that this will work:  cd Program\ Files\ \(x86\)
[12:57] <teward> Bernzel: escape the spaces and the parens, and it accepts it
[12:57] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: drag and drop that folder into the terminal
[12:57] <teward> also what Chuck_Norris said
[12:59] <Bernzel> Thanks!
[13:04] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Well I think it might've been Wine. I can launch another program without it complaining about graphics. So it might've be fixed I suppose!
[13:04] <Foxhoundz> oh ubuntu...
[13:04] <Foxhoundz> what happened ? when did things go wrong?
[13:05] <Slainv> Foxhoundz, Amazon?
[13:06] <vlt> Hello. I have a machine running Ubuntu 13.10. How can I upgrade to the current LTS 14.04? I tried "sudo do-release-upgrade" but got "Keine neue Freigabe gefunden" (no new release found). Any idea?
[13:07] <TJ-> !eol | vlt
[13:07] <Slainv> Foxhoundz, ubuntu was installed on this machine because we believed in it, and now it is performing in simple tasks worse than windows for touchscreens.
[13:07] <TJ-> vlt: The EOLUgrades is what you need, I think
[13:08] <vlt> TJ-: Sounds good. Thank you!
[13:09] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: i would suggest you "Play on Linux" over wine, idk if that would fix you issue but it's more easy to use and with it you can use old or new version of wine
[13:11] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, Sounds interesting. Where can I get this "Play on Linux" ?
[13:11] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: the thing is, some programs/games runs better on specific wine versions, and "Play on Linux" is much more easier to configure programs/games with diferent wine versions
[13:12] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/
[13:12] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: i'll send you a couple of channels related to games and POL
[13:13] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, You rock
[13:14] <barbasunday> aedent: downloaded the driver, should I place him in the Home folder and extract there?
[13:15] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: Chuck_Norris always rocks :D   this is about games (how install games with POL or wine, benchmarks Ubuntu vs Windows etc ): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBu5HY4---D2BE2Au8BNz3Q
[13:15] <EriC^^> Bernzel: sorry, im back
[13:15] <changnesia> Hey guys. How I can't figure out why ranger doesn't open my video files with mpv. I have it set as default player and thunar opens it fine, but not ranger. Why is that?
[13:15] <changnesia> sorry ignore the "how"
[13:16] <thevaliantx> anyone here use Reddit?  In looking at Reddit there are additional languages (besides English) showing up in certain parts of the page in my Chrome browser.  What is that about?
[13:16] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: and search in Spatry's (mah old pal :D) channel about "play on linux" and or "wine" you'll find good things there:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmO_G49F6QTFS5CPUfuQADg
[13:17] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, Much appreciated! (y)
[13:17] <Chuck_Norris> np bro
[13:17] <thevaliantx> Things like links are shown in what looks like Arabic or something.  Anyway to get Chrome to show ONLY English on the reddit website?
[13:17] <gargsms> I made a full backup of my OS using this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[13:18] <gargsms> How do I proceed to install the whole OS on a completely new machine.
[13:18] <gargsms> I tried installing Ubuntu first and doing as directed in the / directory of the installation, but that failed somehow.
[13:19] <gargsms> I left it for about 4 hours for a 30GB tar archive
[13:19] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: oh! and also if you wanna know wich version of wine is recommended to run or play a games there is: https://appdb.winehq.org/
[13:19] <mothership> Is there an easy way to tell if the system was shut down using clean shut-down or not? I know there is a way by searching the log files just thought maybe there is even shorter way?
[13:25] <vlt> TJ-: I did the steps diescribes in the EOLUpgrade wiki (changed sources.list to old-releases.ubuntu.com, ran apt-get update, ... dist-upgrade) and then do-release-upgrade again. Still the same error. Hmmmm...
[13:25] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, I can't install software from an iso file on PlayOnLinux? Must I choose of the list it supplies with games?
[13:26] <fhrhch> Just read a news abou dismember a toodler in chicago
[13:26] <fhrhch> Crazy
[13:26] <vlt> TJ-: I just removed another trailing slash in sources.list and am trying again now.
[13:27] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: yes you can install .iso files with playonlinux, and yes, it's best choose from the list, cuz that way playonlinux will know configure and install automaticaly all dependences to run the game properly
[13:27] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, Hm.. shame my game isn't listed :(
[13:28] <gamabunta>  #ffmpeg
[13:28] <vlt> TJ-: Nope. Still "no new release" :-/
[13:29] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: now, if the game isn't listed then you gotta search online (wineappdb, youtube, etc) and see if you can find someone who already installed that game and the step he made to get it working
[13:30] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: what's the name of the game you are tryin' to install ?
[13:30] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, Sniper Ghost Warrior
[13:30] <Bernzel> I see that alot of people have manage to play it without too much issues
[13:31] <vlt> How can I troubleshoot a "no new release found" error from do-release-upgrade? /etc/apt/sources.list already points to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com... as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades.
[13:32] <Foxhoundz> hm
[13:34] <bloop> anyone know how to associate programs with file extensions rather than file types
[13:34] <bloop> I want to open files of the text type with different programs with respect to extension
[13:34] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20656&iTestingId=54893
[13:35] <cfhowlett> bloop, right click, properties, "open with"
[13:35] <bloop> cfhowlett: as far as I can tell that only works by associating with respect to file type
[13:35] <bloop> I want with respect to file extension
[13:36] <kevran> salut
[13:36] <bloop> because I want to open a class of file types with different programs depending on the extension
[13:36] <bloop> so for instance, class of file type "text document" I want to open .txt with one program versus .py with another
[13:37] <bloop> I know it should work for mime-types
[13:37] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: there you can see the guy who made that post said he use wine version 1.2-rc7 in "Additional Comments" you can see the dependences and some configuracion, like set winever to xp and something about the sound
[13:38] <cfhowlett> bloop, exactly what I was looking at this minute ...
[13:38] <bloop> cfhowlett: maybe I can just create a mime-type for them
[13:38] <bloop> because I want to open blah.creator with qt creator
[13:38] <bloop> but blah.creator is a text/plain file type
[13:38] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: so go and watch some "penguinrecording" videos and you'll learn how to do that
[13:38] <bloop> but maybe I can create a mime that is text/qt-creator
[13:38] <bloop> with respect to all .creator files
[13:39] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, Sweet! I will, but should I install DirectX ? Or does it not matter?
[13:39] <vlt> TJ-: After a reboot do-release-upgrade seems to magically work :-)
[13:40] <Chuck_Norris> Bernzel: in "Additional Comments" says: Install d3dx9, wmp9 and xact
[13:40] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, ehm yes. So not install directx?   Bing isn't any better.
[13:43] <bloop> I even updated the mime database in .local
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> thevaliantx  try duckduckgo.com
[13:44] <jack78> thevaliantx: AdBlock Plus on Firefox ? coupled with noJS and Ghostery !
[13:44] <cfhowlett> thevaliantx, firefox + adblock plugin.
[13:44] <cfhowlett> duckduckgo +1
[13:45] <thevaliantx> i just did a search of "i miss plaid shirts" in duckduckgo and got the same ads that showed up in google and bing.
[13:45] <marienz> mmm, presumably not that much of a market for paid general-purpose search engines
[13:45] <MonkeyDust> thevaliantx  then use an adblocker plugin
[13:45] <thevaliantx> it's ads wanting to sell plaid shirts for misses.  sigh.
[13:46] <thevaliantx> thanks MonkeyDust , jack78 and cfhowlett
[13:46] <cfhowlett> thevaliantx, happy2help!
[13:49] <jack78> Anyone can help me about GPT partitions ?
[13:49] <jack78> When i copy a 4,3Gb file on it, that says : file too large... ?
[13:50] <EriC^^> jack78: if it's a fat32 filesystem the maximum is 4gb
[13:50] <cfhowlett> I copy and move 4gb + files on the time on my uefi system
[13:51] <gargsms_> Reposting: I made a full backup of my OS using this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[13:51] <gargsms_> How do I proceed to install the whole OS on a completely new machine.
[13:51] <jack78> .... Oh i see, thanks EriC^^
[13:51] <thevaliantx> that's really sad.  i remember the days of searching the Internet and just finding articles, things I wanted.  Now it's Google Everywhere.
[13:51] <bloop> nm
[13:51] <EriC^^> jack78: exfat supports larger than 4gb, fwi
[13:51] <rhumbot> hi all, i just bought a new computer, installed ubuntu on a new hard drive and am setting up the applications now. I use eclipse with quite a few extensions. Can I simply copy eclipse from the old system to the new or do i need to reinstall everything?
[13:52] <jack78> EriC^^: exfat = fat more than 32Gb ?
[13:52] <jack78> 32bits*
[13:52] <georgeowell> rhumbot: thevaliantx:
[13:53] <georgeowell> rhumbot: You could just reinstall eclipse and copy the config files over
[13:53] <EriC^^> jack78: i don't know exactly, i think it's a different filesystem all together but has stuff in common with fat
[13:53] <berik> GPT have maximum file size option
[13:54] <jack78> ok EriC^^ , thanks to you !!!
[13:54] <EriC^^> gargsms_: did you make the partitions for the install you're going to make?
[13:54] <EriC^^> jack78: np :)
[13:55] <thevaliantx> georgeowell, i searched "what is rhumbot" and got this -> http://cowboyjob.com/member/rhumbot
[13:55] <thevaliantx> cowboyjob doesn't exactly make my day
[13:55] <gargsms_> EriC^^, I have a completely new machine.  I suppose I would not need to make a EFI partition after all
[13:57] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, Ok your penguin dude is awesome :) But what I haven't found him cover yet is what kind of virtual drive I shall create? 64 / 32 bit?
[13:57] <Bernzel> nor on the appdb site
[13:58] <EriC^^> gargsms_: no, if you're installing to the same disk use the same efi
[13:58] <gargsms_> Yes, installing on the same disk.
[13:58] <EriC^^> ok
[13:59] <gargsms_> what do I do then?
[13:59] <EriC^^> gargsms_: mount the partition under /mnt
[14:00] <EriC^^> gargsms_: sudo mount /dev/sdxY /mnt
[14:01] <gargsms_> I formatted a chunk of my disk as ext4. Do you mean that partition?
[14:01] <EriC^^> yes
[14:01] <gargsms_> For that, I guess I need to boot from a live disk first
[14:02] <gargsms_> Anyway, after mounting
[14:02] <EriC^^> ok, boot from a live disk first, there are a couple steps after that
[14:03] <gargsms_> I don't have the access to the machine currently. :p
[14:03] <gargsms_> Just tell me the steps and I will do as needed
[14:03] <georgeowell> rhumbot: I'm not sure where eclipse puts them, but they'll either be hidden .~ files in your home directory (revealed with ctrl+h) or in /etc/ or in /opt/
[14:04] <EriC^^> gargsms_: well, it's kind of long
[14:04] <gargsms_> No issues :)
[14:04] <EriC^^> can you come back later when you have access to the machine?
[14:04] <Kanchelsis> Hello World :p
[14:04] <gargsms_> The machine has been staying dead for a long time now
[14:04] <gargsms_> I can. Sure.
[14:04] <gargsms_> EriC^^, 2 hours later? Is that fine with you?
[14:05] <EriC^^> ok, come back and we can get it running, yeah that's fine
[14:05] <gargsms_> Thanks a lot. I will try to get it ASAP
[14:05] <EriC^^> ok :)
[14:06] <Kanchelsis> Anyone up for a simple challenge?
[14:07] <akik> don't ask to ask
[14:07] <Kanchelsis> Two hard drives
[14:07] <riqi> Hi, I saw a video where the XFCE desktop manager displayed a tab for each app on the topmost panel. What other distros can do that? Unity?
[14:07] <Kanchelsis> Primary is windows 10
[14:07] <Kanchelsis> secondary has two partitions currently and 320 gbs free space
[14:07] <Kanchelsis> I want grub on the primary for boot
[14:07] <Kanchelsis> and ubuntu on the secondary
[14:08] <MonkeyDust> Kanchelsis  keep your question in one line, that's easier to read and repeat
[14:08] <Kanchelsis> Okay
[14:08] <akik> Kanchelsis: you can select where to install grub during the installation
[14:09] <Kanchelsis> How?
[14:09] <akik> Kanchelsis: when you are creating your partition layout, there's a place to select it
[14:09] <riqi> Correction: The App tabs would appear on the menu bar. What other distros can do that besides XFCE? Can I get that in Unity?
[14:09] <Kanchelsis> With wubi?
[14:09] <Kanchelsis> I want to do it from my windows desktop
[14:10] <akik> i think wubi is not supported anymore
[14:10] <blah-> .
[14:10] <cfhowlett> Kanchelsis, wubi is unsupported unsafe and it WILL break ubuntu 14.04 and newer.
[14:10] <akik> wat
[14:10] <Kanchelsis> So do not install ubuntu from my windows desktop effectively?
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> Kanchelsis  you don't
[14:11] <akik> Kanchelsis: boot off a usb stick or dvd
[14:11] <cfhowlett> Kanchelsis, options: dual boot or install virtualbox to windows and add ubuntu to vbox
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> Kanchelsis  install ubuntu independent from windows, on its own partition
[14:11] <k1l> Kanchelsis: so boot a ubuntu dvd or usb-pendrive like you would do to install any other OS. you can then choose where to install ubuntu
[14:11] <Kanchelsis> I can install it on it's own partition
[14:11] <Kanchelsis> I just don't have any spare installation media I can setup up on me right npw
[14:11] <Kanchelsis> now*
[14:12] <Kanchelsis> Okay
[14:12] <Kanchelsis> I guess I will do that later
[14:12] <Kanchelsis> Anything else I need to know?
[14:13] <MonkeyDust> Kanchelsis  read this as an introduction http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[14:15] <Kanchelsis> Thanks
[14:16] <prash> Hello guys
[14:16] <Bernzel> Chuck_Norris, Okey my attempt became a disaster. Now the game wont even launch, instead crashes as soon as I "Run"
[14:43] <jack78> Has anyone ever use mkfs.exfat here ?
[15:00] <monty_hall> I installed btrfs and my hdd is just trashing
[15:00] <monty_hall> is there some setting to minimize this behavior?
[15:00] <monty_hall> I'm talking even on minor things
[15:00] <monty_hall> save a small text file - crunch
[15:01] <monty_hall> open a small text file - crunch
[15:01] <monty_hall> you get the idea
[15:01] <monty_hall> fire up bash - cunch
[15:01] <BluesKaj> why btrfs anyway ?
[15:02] <k1l> monty_hall: what do the logs say? is the ram ok?
[15:04] <jason_> So I had to reinstall some packages (lightdm, ubuntu-desktop, etc) and now my UI looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/kK0daPc.jpg. Is there any way to get back to the old look (like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2c/Ubuntu_14.04_Search_applications.png )
[15:05] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Graphics still messed up.. sigh
[15:05] <compdoc> jason_, I think that first shot is gnome3, and the 2nd shot is unity
[15:06] <stef-81> hello
[15:07] <jason_> compdoc, okay, I never quite understood the whole linux desktop environment thing. I believe I have unity installed, how do I activate it?
[15:07] <EriC^^> Bernzel: did you try reinstalling the .deb files?
[15:07] <EriC^^> Bernzel: did it used to work with any graphics driver? or an older kernel maybe?
[15:07] <jack78> I don't succeed to find any official documentation about how ubuntu usually make his install live-cd... anyone can help me ?
[15:07] <xangua> jason_: it looks like you installed gnome shell
[15:08] <hotmedal> I can't find my DVD drive on my Lenovo laptop. paste.ubuntu.com/12307666/
[15:08] <jason_> xangua, can I destroy it? >_>
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> hotmedal  what does lsblk give you
[15:10] <xangua> jason_: I don't know why you "had to reinstall some packages" but if ubuntu-desktop is installed, just log out and change your session to Unity; you should see a little icon next to your user name in lighdm
[15:10] <hotmedal> just sda
[15:11] <MonkeyDust> hotmedal  pastebin the output of  lsblk
[15:11] <jason_> xangua, thanks I'll try that
[15:11] <hotmedal> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12307690/
[15:12] <hotmedal> MonkeyDust: I also just intalled libiso9660-dev. Didn't have it before
[15:13] <jason_> xangua, hah, that indeed fixed it. I thought I somehow updated into a very massive unity overhaul.
[15:14] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  I did. But Im no longer sure it's the graphics. I got the weirdest error message when debugging my wine run on a game. Look: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12307652/
[15:15] <hotmedal> MonkeyDust: I also did modprobe sr_mod, didn't help
[15:16] <Bernzel> EriC^^, You see that "wine: Call from 0x7b83e372 to unimplemented function ntoskrnl.exe.ExAcquireResourceExclusiveLite, aborting" ?
[15:19] <EriC^^> Bernzel: hmm, yeah
[15:19] <SuperEngineer> I erased my Ubuntu 14.0 .0->.1->.2->.3 [don't ask, TLDR] ;) & so installed a fresh 14.04.03 - I've just noticed that I used to be able to click on an app in the launcher to launch it, then click again to minimise it - on fresh install, I can't click on lancher icon to minimise... any thoughts on what I have/haven't done in my fresh install that stops this behaviour?
[15:19] <Bernzel> EriC^^,  not sure if that's graphic related?
[15:20] <Call> hello
[15:20] <EriC^^> Bernzel: try to mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.old
[15:20] <Call> helllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooo
[15:21] <hotmedal> Call: yes?
[15:21] <Call> hello a friend
[15:21] <Call> helo ?
[15:21] <MonkeyDust> Call  this is the ubuntu support channel
[15:22] <TJ-> hotmedal: can you "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg"
[15:22] <hotmedal> TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12307750/
[15:23] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Ok!
[15:25] <TJ-> hotmedal: There's your problem; The device is on ata3 and the link isn't stabilising
[15:25] <hotmedal> TJ-: ohhh, so that's what the message is for. It showed up on every boot and I ignored i.
[15:25] <hotmedal> it*
[15:26] <TJ-> hotmedal: There *may* be a BIOS setting to change the mode of the DVD/CD device to ATAPI from AHCI
[15:26] <Bernzel> EriC^^, Hm no difference. I might just install win 7 a side of ubuntu (or the other way around?) so that I can play.
[15:26] <TJ-> hotmedal: I also noticed the bluetooth device firmware isn't being found/loaded; so Bluetooth may not work until you resolve that
[15:27] <TJ-> hotmedal: "[   32.212774] Bluetooth: can't load firmware, may not work correctly"
[15:27] <hotmedal> TJ-: two hardware things I haven't used in ages
[15:27] <hotmedal> TJ-: what do I do?
[15:28] <TJ-> hotmedal: for the DVD, check BIOS settings.  I tried to fix the virtual thing but I was unsuccessful
[15:30] <hotmedal> TJ-: thanks for the debugging, I shall go dive into my BIOS. Bye.
[15:38] <AbdoTGM50> Guys is it normal that starting up/booting Ubuntu takes 32 secs and goes to purple screen then black screen then ubuntu loading screen then black screen then login screen?
[15:38] <microm> I just installed an SSD, and resintalled linux on it. I do NOT dual boot. After the BIOS, I get a blinking cursor.
[15:39] <microm> the installation DVD mounts the ssd as /cow
[15:39] <microm> and says there are not partitions on it
[15:40] <TJ-> microm: /cow is the Live ISO root file-system Copy-On-Write
[15:41] <microm> ah. ok.
[15:41] <microm> So, I can`t find the SSD then... but it did the install on it.
[15:41] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, nvidia ?
[15:42] <TJ-> microm: "sudo lsblk -f"
[15:42] <AbdoTGM50> ioria, yup
[15:42] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, it behaves like that for me too...
[15:43] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, but less than 32 secs
[15:43] <Ev0luti0n_> Guys.. is there any chance of resizing an extended partition, so that it takes up unallocated space on the disk?
[15:44] <jack78> Ev0luti0n_: Depends on the filesystem... and the method you want to use
[15:44] <Ev0luti0n_> the extended partition i want to resize, is currently ex4, with /boot/on it
[15:44] <Ev0luti0n_> the tool i would like to use is disks
[15:44] <AbdoTGM50> Ioria, does it also occasionally go into a guiless dos like screen when shutting down through power button?
[15:44] <jack78> Did you try with gparted ?
[15:44] <Ev0luti0n_> since gparted, is unable to list the partition details
[15:44] <microm> TJ-: thanks, found it, the SSD is on /dev/sdb
[15:45] <ioria> Ev0luti0n_, no
[15:45] <jack78> Ev0luti0n_: Make in commandline : partprobe /dev/sdX
[15:45] <TJ-> microm: If the system is UEFI, you may have a PC with a firmware bug that prevents the OS from adding itself to the UEFI boot menu
[15:46] <jack78> to permit gparted to re-read parition table
[15:46] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, no
[15:46] <AbdoTGM50> Ok
[15:46] <Ev0luti0n_> jack78: gparted shows all of the space as unallocated
[15:46] <AbdoTGM50> Would UEFI have something to do with it? Like should I enable legacy support?
[15:47] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, don't know, i think not... i think it's about nvidia
[15:48] <AbdoTGM50> The ACPI node loading failed thing?
[15:50] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50: Look in /var/log/syslog at the boot-time timestamps; those might reveal what is causing the delay
[15:51] <AbdoTGM50> Will do
[15:51] <EriC^^> also press esc while it loads you can see what's going on
[15:51] <EriC^^> /var/log/boot.log should have the last boot
[15:52] <AbdoTGM50> I think secure boot may have something
[15:52] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50: With the nvidia driver, by default it displays its Logo when the X server driver starts; that is probably causing the last 'flash' you see
[15:54] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50: The other flashes will be mode changes
[15:56] <raspi2> hi
[15:56] <AbdoTGM50> So its nothing to worry about TJ- ?
[16:00] <jack78> Is there anybody who knows how ubuntu team made their ISO ? (i'm talking about the EFI compatibility, the chroot is already done)
[16:01] <vge>  If i have a disk that is over 2TB and I format it using parted. Then I mount it with "mount /dev/sdb1 /data" and all is well. Yet mount tells me the type of disk is fuseblk?
[16:02] <PCatinean> In order to run a php script through CLI and retreives some stuff from a mysql database I have to do sudo apt-get install php5-cli php5-mysql and mysql-server ?
[16:02] <PCatinean> Is that the minimum requirement?
[16:03] <teward> vge: fuseblk - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1096841.  "Ther short answer is that "fuseblk" is just how an ntfs partition is reported via the "mount" command, among others. The "fuse" part comes from FUSE (file system in userspace)."
[16:03] <mdik> hi. i accidentally set the partition type of my FDE system to 0x8e, but after setting it back to 0x83 it tells me that it is not a LUKS partition anymore :-(
[16:03] <mdik> any ideas?
[16:04] <mdik> is the default FDE a LUKS inside an LVM or an LVM inside a LUKS, though?
[16:04] <vge> teward: I know. Yet gparted tells me it's ext4, fdisk -l tells me its "Linux filesystem"
[16:05] <AbdoTGM50> EriC^^ this is the boot.log output paste.ubuntu.com/12308006
[16:07] <regedit> isn't the OS supposed to detect if i'm playing a video (both media applications as well as in browser) and prevent locking the screen? this does not seem to be the case here in 15.04
[16:07] <regedit> not sure if it matters that i'm on Kubuntu with plasma desktop
[16:07] <microm> TJ-: I do not have UEFI, but EFI BIOS yes. I swapped the drives to put the SSD on the first SATA6G port, still a blinking cursor.
[16:08] <k1l> regedit: the player should announce it to the system/screensaver, yes
[16:09] <regedit> k1l: whom should i cry to if i get lock screen while playing a youtube clip (in full screen mind you)
[16:09] <EriC^^> AbdoTGM50: no idea
[16:10] <k1l> youtube? flash or html5?
[16:10] <k1l> regedit: see if that is a common issue on kde plasma
[16:10] <EriC^^> AbdoTGM50: try pressing esc while it boots maybe it will show what it's hanging on
[16:10] <regedit> k1l: how can i tell which one it's using? somehow i suspect not flash
[16:11] <regedit> k1l: i right click on the video and the last context option is "About the HTML5 Player"
[16:11] <regedit> https://www.youtube.com/html5
[16:11] <regedit> i see checkmark "The HTML5 player is currently used when possible." on my browser
[16:12] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, did you tweak  nsswitch.conf or hostname or your fstab has some network share ?
[16:12] <k1l> regedit: i am on cli here, cant check
[16:12] <AbdoTGM50> EriC^^ when I press esc I get a grub bash console thingy
[16:13] <regedit> k1l: it strongly seems like the html5 player is the one being used
[16:13] <AbdoTGM50> iorua I don't even know what that is
[16:13] <regedit> k1l: now what?
[16:13] <EriC^^> AbdoTGM50: i mean right after you press enter to boot ubuntu, press esc
[16:13] <microm> I made the mistake of assuming all SSDs were created equal, on my Motherboard website, I see that only a few are supported for my MB.
[16:13] <k1l> regedit: do other real media players like vlc etc work?
[16:14] <AbdoTGM50> EriC^^ I dont get a press enter to boot ubuntu
[16:14] <AbdoTGM50> Atleast as I recall
[16:14] <EriC^^> AbdoTGM50: do you get grub?
[16:14] <regedit> k1l: i guess I havent tried that...
[16:14] <AbdoTGM50> Let me reboot for a sec
[16:14] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50: When GRUB boots the default entry you won't see its boot menu. If you did, you'd press Enter to start he default entry
[16:14] <EriC^^> AbdoTGM50: i mean press enter to boot ubuntu as usual, then press esc
[16:15] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50: You'll usually only see the boot menu if the previous boot failed, or you hold down Shift at boot time
[16:15] <akik> microm: ssd's supported by motherboard?
[16:15] <badbodh> regedit, you can install caffeine (there is a ppa) to prevent screen from lock/sleep
[16:15] <kostkon> regedit, caffeine -> https://launchpad.net/caffeine
[16:16] <AbdoTGM50> EriC^^ you mean the GNU grub that lists: ubuntu, advanced options for ubuntu and system setup?
[16:16] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50: whilst the OS is starting 'Plymouth' displays a 'splash' screen to hide the kernel/init system messages. Pressing eacape whilst the splash screen is up flips to the console so you can see those messages.
[16:16] <EriC^^> AbdoTGM50: yeah
[16:17] <regedit> badbodh / kostkon: it seems that helps with specific applications/executables like vlc, what about in-browser players like youtube html5 player?\
[16:17] <microm> akik: yes, my MB only supports a handful of SSDs according to ASUS
[16:17] <AbdoTGM50> So do I press esc after choosing ubuntu?
[16:17] <akik> that's weird
[16:18] <AbdoTGM50> TJ- I dont get a thing when pressing esc on the splash though
[16:18] <badbodh> regedit, it also has options for flash, but it basically detects fullscreen videos if running in background. add any number of applications, browser video player whatever
[16:18] <badbodh> as long as they run, screen doesn't turn off
[16:18] <Knight80> Hello everyone!
[16:18] <Knight80> :)
[16:19] <regedit> badbodh: cool ok thanks, will try it out
[16:19] <badbodh> np
[16:19] <Stepnjump> Hi guys, I am trying to know if there is an EASY way to connect to my daughter's edubuntu's computer remotely so I may help her out and teach her  how to do things on her computer?
[16:19] <mothership> how to tell if system had a un-clean shutdown?
[16:19] <TJ-> AbdoTGM50: That's not unusual; with nvidia there sometimes isn't a console driver loaded when the console is in graphic mode.
[16:19] <Bernzel> Im trying to add a new wallpaper for my desktop. Using the "+" to add it. But when I restart my system the default one remains. What's the deal?
[16:20] <badbodh> Stepnjump, teamviewer
[16:20] <Knight80> I have a question: Is there any way to recover my Windoze 8.1 boot data after having installed Ubuntu 15.04? Windoze doesn't appear in Grub2...
[16:20] <AbdoTGM50> Why does nvidia treat linux distros this bad? XD
[16:20] <TJ-> mothership: At boot you'll be at the GRUB boot menu for a time, rather than auto-starting the default entry immediately. The OS sets the simple-boot flag when it shuts down to tell firmware/boot-manager everything was OK
[16:20] <badbodh> Knight80, just run 'sudo update-grub' again. it should detect.
[16:20] <vge> Stepnjump: I have found that Teamviewer is the simplest. OS dont matter and it's fast enough
[16:20] <badbodh> can you see your windows partition in nautilus?
[16:21] <Knight80> badbodh Thank you
[16:21] <Knight80> badbodh Yes, I can
[16:21] <mothership> TJ-, is there a way I can check if the shutdown wasnt clean from a shell script?
[16:21] <AbdoTGM50> Wow when I shut down the splash screen started flashing qnd rendering 3 screens at once
[16:21] <badbodh> you can access the files ? Knight80 ?
[16:21] <AbdoTGM50> Nvidia also I presume,
[16:21] <Knight80> badbodh Yes
[16:21] <D> hello
[16:21] <badbodh> the update-grub
[16:21] <badbodh> *the/then
[16:22] <regedit> badbodh: i just install it and that's it, it works? or do i need to enable it / start it somehow?
[16:22] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, which driver are you using ?
[16:22] <AbdoTGM50> 346
[16:22] <badbodh> regedit, you have to start it. icon should appear in dash
[16:22] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, with nouveau (default driver) it was the same ?
[16:22] <AbdoTGM50> Yeah
[16:23] <badbodh> regedit, there is systray icon too, but i don;t think unity will show that. will run in background though.
[16:23] <regedit> badbodh: i'm actually on kubuntu 15.04 with plasma desktop
[16:24] <badbodh> oh. then systray icon will show up. no problem.
[16:24] <badbodh> and search "caffeine" in start menu, it should show up
[16:24] <AbdoTGM50> Disabling secureboot enhanced boot time by 2 secs XD
[16:25] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, good ... the only suspicious line seems to me  ModemManager[691]: <info>  ModemManager (version 1.0.0) starting...
[16:25] <regedit> badbodh: ah i do find it in start menu search, tho option there does seem to "toggle" between activate/deactivate, but there's no systray icon (yet?)...
[16:25] <regedit> *the
[16:25] <vge> !offtopic
[16:26] <Kalimero> i am trying to configure my network config manually . but i dont know the gateway
[16:26] <Kalimero> address of the fritz box i am using
[16:26] <AbdoTGM50> ioria, why is it suspecious?
[16:27] <Tim_> hi everyone. ive got an asus x205ta with windows 10 currently installed that im trying to put ubuntu on but it gives me an error saying that the os cannot boot
[16:27] <bstarek> Kalimero, do you have access to your router?its ip adress?
[16:27] <MonkeyDust> Kalimero  <IP_ADDRESS> is very common
[16:27] <badbodh> regedit, look like you gotta move your shop in #kubuntu channel.
[16:28] <vge> bstarek: At what point of the install are you?
[16:28] <MonkeyDust> Kalimero  or <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:28] <bstarek> vge, i am not installing anything :)
[16:28] <ioria> AbdoTGM50, well, it doesn't reply [ok]... how do you connect to interner ? usb modem ?
[16:29] <bstarek> Kalimero, if you have another computer around, check the info in it
[16:29] <vge> Tim_: : At what point of the install are you?
[16:29] <vge> second time the charm
[16:29] <Tim_> i have the install on a usb flash drive and opened it and it said to restart the pc and it comes up with to either boot into windows 10 or ubuntu.
[16:29] <AbdoTGM50> ioria, Through the wireless card and thr broadcom drivers that came with the distro. I think
[16:31] <TJ-> ioria: Yes it does: You've misread. The line you're looking at is from the modemmanager process incorrectly writing to stderr I think, the init script line is later "Starting modem connection manager4G[ OK ]"
[16:31] <ioria> TJ- oh... OK
[16:32] <Tim_> vge, should i have to disable the bitlocker recovery on windows 10 in order to continue? im at a loss at this point
[16:32] <regedit> badbodh: it just screen-locked again :( maybe a restart is required?
[16:32] <Kalimero> bstarek: the other pc is connected via dhcp. how do i check the gaateway address of it
[16:33] <reSpawn> good daz
[16:33] <TJ-> ioria: Some daemons do that, incorrectly, there's a few more further down the boot.log; also the services are started in parallel so the log entries don't necessarily make logical sense when read in order
[16:33] <reSpawn> good day
[16:33] <bstarek> Kalimero, is it windows what?
[16:33] <Kalimero> bstarek: no its linux
[16:33] <badbodh> regedit, i don;t really use it. i've turned off screen-locks :D but keep tinkering, caffeine is what you are looking for.
[16:34] <bstarek> Kalimero, what linux? with GUI or not?
[16:35] <Kalimero> bstarek: it has a gui but would prefer a terminal-based answer
[16:35] <ioria> TJ-  i see
[16:35] <Tim_> im getting an error 0xc000007b when installing ubuntu
[16:36] <bstarek> Kalimero, i understand...open terminal  ansd type  route -n
[16:36] <bstarek> Kalimero, you will see the gateway
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> Tim_  that's a windows error, i guess
[16:36] <bstarek> Kalimero, on the first line..
[16:37] <Kalimero> bstarek: there are two ip addresses one is the gateway and one is the destination
[16:38] <Kalimero> bstarek: the second line destination doesnt matter?
[16:38] <bstarek> Kalimero, the second one is the gateway, which you need right?
[16:38] <bstarek> Kalimero, dont worry about the second line
[16:38] <AbdoTGM50> Is installing Ubuntu for the firsr time always this stressful? XD
[16:39] <ioria> TJ-  it's possible edit /etc/init/failsafe.conf  and comment the sleep instructions ? i know it's not orthodox
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> AbdoTGM50  learning something new can be stressful and frustrating
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> AbdoTGM50  learn ubuntu like you learned windows or mac: by using it
[16:40] <alexandrov> :)
[16:40] <AbdoTGM50> Well learning gradle was more stressful so I guess youre right
[16:41] <TJ-> ioria: Yes, anything is possible :) just " echo manual | sudo dd of=/etc/init/failsafe.override"
[16:41] <AbdoTGM50> Its just that these glitches are bugging me XD
