[00:00] <TJ-> tutolato: yes
[00:00] <tutolato> and after that, connecting the external usb?
[00:00] <TJ-> tutolato: and hope you don't have systemd journald stealing the kernel messages!
[00:00] <TJ-> tutolato: correct :)
[00:02] <tutolato> so i executed the tail command and then plugged in the external hdd, but in the terminal nothing changes
[00:02] <TJ-> tutolato: when you started the tail command... did you see about 10 lines of history displayed (which tells us kern.log is in use) ?
[00:03] <tutolato> Aug 17 ****** MateBook kernel: [ 126.xx] usb 1-1:
[00:03] <tutolato> yes
[00:03] <TJ-> tutolato: OK... that seems to confirm there's an issue with the USB side... you've not accidentally pulled the cable out so the connector isn't fully mating?
[00:04] <tutolato> ahaha
[00:04] <tutolato> oh yes
[00:04] <tutolato> ...
[00:04] <tutolato> :D
[00:04] <TJ-> What? was that it!?!
[00:04] <tutolato> yup :o
[00:04] <TJ-> Doh!
[00:05] <tutolato> :^)
[00:05] <tutolato> thanks xD
[00:05] <TJ-> I/m glad I always remember to return to "check the cables, stupid!" ")
[00:05] <tutolato> that would be to easy
[00:06] <TJ-> easy solution though... happy ending. better do some good file-system checks before using it again
[00:06] <tutolato> haha thanks, i learned a new way to troubleshoot with tail
[00:07] <tutolato> bye :)
[00:08] <sreggingnikcuf> are black people allowed to use Ubuntu?
[00:10] <HadesWatch3r> I have installed Ubuntu 14.04.03... used LVM on a single hdd... I have 2 others... I want to add them to lvm ... I have formatted them with the disk utility as luks compatible ... how do I tell Luks to use them and that space now?
[00:11] <TJ-> HadesWatch3r: you seem to be mixing up your terms. LUKS and LVM are different things entirely
[00:11] <not2but1> sreggingnikcuf - good question.
[00:12] <HadesWatch3r> TJ- no doubt..
[00:12] <HadesWatch3r> I have used lvm to encrypt the first drive during install.. I want to add the other two to that space volume now..
[00:12] <TJ-> HadesWatch3r: LUKS is encryption; LVM is volume management
[00:12] <HadesWatch3r> TJ- Yes, right.
[00:13] <TJ-> HadesWatch3r: so, you cannot use LVM to encrypt a drive
[00:13] <HadesWatch3r> TJ- ok.
[00:14] <HadesWatch3r> How can I add my other two drives to LVM.
[00:14] <TJ-> HadesWatch3r: if you're using LUKS encryption, you'd use the "cryptsetup" tool to format/open it
[00:15] <HadesWatch3r> TJ- Appreciate your replies. I have used the Disks utility in Ubuntu to format/encrypt the other two drives... (at least that is what I believe I have done.)
[00:16] <TJ-> HadesWatch3r: if you have several LVM physical devices (PVs) you can add the PVs to an existing Volume Group (VG) using "vgextend" see "man vgextend" - something like "sudo vgextend VG /dev/PV1 /dev/PV2" (where PV1/2 are something like /dev/sdc or other block device)
[00:16] <HadesWatch3r> TJ- Will do, thansk.
[00:16] <HadesWatch3r> thanks.
[00:17] <TJ-> HadesWatch3r: maybe that tool combines the operations - I generally work with the command-line tools rather than GUI for such things, so I'm not sure what that tool is capable of
[00:18] <ElevyNJ> Hello. I have a laptop with a cracked screen. Ubuntu is installed. How do I redirect the display to a monitor I have attached to it?
[00:19] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: can you ssh into it from another PC?
[00:20] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: alternatively, can you read the screen well enough to execute a command at a shell command line ?
[00:20] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, Yes I can see the right side of the screen
[00:21] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: if you can get a terminal in that area, and first run "xrandr" it'll list the video outputs available. Then you can use something like "xrandr --output <name> --auto" to enable it
[00:24] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, I did xrandr --output VGA1 --auto and nothing happened. How can I redirect the xtandr output to pastebin for help here?
[00:25] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: "pastebinit <( xrandr )"
[00:26] <ScottSteiner> how can i list the displays on my system?  (:0, :1, etc) I need it for ffmpeg. Thanks
[00:27] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, http://pate.ubuntu.com/12103786/ is the output
[00:28] <ElevyNJ> I mean http://paste.ubuntu.com/12103786/
[00:28] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: according to that VGA1 is connected to the left or right of the laptop screen
[00:29] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: to the right actually
[00:30] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, Physically the screen is to the right of the laptop. The VGA connector is on the left side and is in no signal mode
[00:30] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, but It seems I can drag items off the right side of the screen never to be seen again
[00:30] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: as far as the X server is concerned the VGA1 monitor is to the right of the laptop screen. If the monitor isn't displaying anything then there's a cabling issue
[00:31] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: the VGA1 resolution of 1440x900 is rather strange, depending on what kind of monitor it is of course.
[00:32] <dvela> I'm having an issue disabling a monitor in LightDM. I've tried editing "display-setup-script=xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --primary" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, but it's done nothing for me. The monitor is automatically disabled when I log in. I'm using xfce4.
[00:32] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, It's an Acer AL1617W
[00:33] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, It should be 1280 X 1024
[00:36] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: it looks like the monitor isn't talking to the PC then, if you don't even see a "resolution out of range" message on it
[00:36] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, any suggestions?
[00:37] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: try the monitor on another PC to try to prove it works, first... if it does see what modes it reports to that PC, see if it makes sense based on what you've seen for this PC
[00:40] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, I'll be back then
[00:41] <ubuntu-mate> I friggin' love Ubuntu Mate. x.x
[00:47] <HadesWatch3r> TJ-
[00:47] <HadesWatch3r> Mission accomplished, thank you.
[00:48] <ubuntu-mate> Installing Ubuntu Mate. Anyone else have it?
[00:48] <TJ-> HadesWatch3r: nice one, well done :)
[00:55] <ubuntu-mate> Almost done!
[00:56] <Nakatar> what? fixing steam?
[00:56] <ubuntu-mate> Hm?
[00:57] <danielmwakanema> msg nickserv register 12345iamdark95<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[00:57] <ilosamart> ops
[00:57] <ilosamart> he he
[00:58] <Flannel> danielmwakanema: You'll want to change that password
[00:58] <OerHeks> danielmwakanema, change your password after registering :-)
[01:01] <ilosamart> danielmwakanema: and, PLEASE, change your email's password as well
[01:01] <OerHeks> well, that email is on the log rol now, beware of spam
[01:02] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, After putting the screen on a Windows 10 system and getting a display I moved it back to my Ubuntu system and the screen automticly showed. I guess the cable was loose at first
[01:03] <ElevyNJ> It did survive a reboot
[01:03] <ilosamart> the importance of a slash
[01:03] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: ha! always the cables
[01:03] <danielmwakanema> :( Just did, forgot the slash in the cmd. Hope no one accessed before I changed it.
[01:04] <wylem> Howdy.
[01:04] <ilosamart> well
[01:04] <ilosamart> setup a two-factor auth
[01:04] <ilosamart> it's always the right thing to do
[01:05] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, now to find a guide for Plex server on Ubuntu and how to backup my windows systems to an external drive on this system
[01:05] <danielmwakanema> Alright ilosamart, will do.
[01:10] <Yuken> What would the differences between Ubuntu and Debian be (or would this be better to ask in #linux)? I've heard that it utilizes multithreading better, which could be.... very good for my T5250.
[01:12] <OerHeks> Yuken, you heard wrong. Ubuntu has no rootpassword, thats all.
[01:13] <ilosamart> Yuken: Ubuntu derived from Debian, it uses software that are newer, like newer kernel, libraries, etc (if you compare the stable version of both)
[01:13] <Logan> OerHeks: there are some other differences ;P
[01:13] <ilosamart> derives*
[01:14] <OerHeks> Logan, oh sure, like better artwork :-D maybe you can name more differences..
[01:14] <wylem> Can I ask what'd probably be a stupid question?
[01:14] <ilosamart> basically this is the difference, plus one or another tweak user enhancement
[01:15] <ilosamart> basically this is the difference, plus one or another tweak to enhance the user interface (sorry )
[01:15] <Logan> OerHeks: what ilosamart said, paired with a different release cycle, etc.
[01:15] <Logan> wylem: sure, you can ask anything
[01:15] <wylem> I just installed MATE 15.04, updated, and tried to install synaptic. When I attempt to create a shortcut in the "applications" menu, the shortcut does nothing.
[01:15] <ScottSteiner> While trying to record the screen from within a vnc connection using ffmpeg, I keep getting a black screen. What could be causing this?
[01:16] <wylem> I set my path to /usr/share/applications/ but still nothing.
[01:16] <wylem> The only way I'm able to run it is by opening a terminal window, and leaving it open.
[01:16] <wylem> What am I doing wrong?
[01:17] <wylem> I haven't used linux in several years, and the last time I ran ubuntu it had a program manager upon install.
[01:17] <ubuntu305> Hello. I have AMD Radeon HD 7850M graphics card on my laptop. Using build-in drivers my laptop getting hot and fan speed are on high speed. Should I install oibaf drivers or xorg-edges maybe?
[01:18] <wafflejock> wylem: you may want to checkout alacarte
[01:18] <wafflejock> wylem: it's helpful for setting up your menus
[01:19] <wylem> Okay. I guess I'm just confused. With a fresh install, it would seem that there'd be a fairly easy way to install programs.
[01:19] <wylem> I guess I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
[01:19] <OerHeks> !info pyvnc2swf
[01:19] <not2but1> Wylem: dust?
[01:20] <wylem> I'm not sure what you mean.
[01:21] <OerHeks> ScottSteiner, use pyvnc2swf orvnc2flv to record vnc sessions ?
[01:33] <wylem> Got alacarte, but it's still not letting me create a shortcut for synaptic.
[01:34] <wylem> I guess I'll just install a different build of ubuntu.
[01:35] <DalekSec> !info menulibre
[01:36] <snowkidind> is there a script that looks through all your files and checks for the correct permissions settings?
[01:36] <not2but1> Snowkidind - lynis
[01:36] <not2but1> Rkhunter
[01:37] <snowkidind> do they just scan or do they perform changes?
[01:37] <not2but1> Scan
[01:38] <snowkidind> sounds good will look into it thanks!
[01:38] <not2but1> Welcome
[01:38] <snowkidind> do you prefer one over the other or do they have different benefits to warrant both?
[01:39] <not2but1> I prefer lynis
[01:39] <not2but1> Rkhunter is dedicated to scan rootkit
[01:39] <not2but1> But it can scan for permission setting too
[01:39] <snowkidind> ok kool
[01:40] <matt__> hey everyone, i have ubuntu 15.04 Gnome and I plugged in a second monitor (hp 27xw) and it makes both screens go black
[01:40] <matt__> whats going on?
[01:40] <matt__> does anyone have any ideas as to what may be wrong?
[01:42] <snowkidind> so you pay for lynis?
[01:42] <Sorch> lynis?
[01:42] <snowkidind> hah it says you can download it but it also has plane
[01:42] <snowkidind> plans*
[01:43] <not2but1> Its free
[01:43] <matt__> hey everyone, i have ubuntu 15.04 Gnome and I plugged in a second monitor (hp 27xw) and it makes both screens go black
[01:43] <matt__> does anyone have any idea whats wrong?
[01:44] <Sorch> odd
[01:44] <TJ-> matt_: wrong mode(s) being chosen? have you looked in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[01:45] <matt__> how do i do that?
[01:45] <matt__> im kind of a noob :/
[01:45] <matt__> hence using ubuntu
[01:45] <matt__> I didnt realize there would be a problem adding one more monitor via hdmi
[01:47] <TJ-> matt_: open a terminal, type "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and press G to jump to the end of the file, then work your way back up looking for messages about new monitors being connected... or just pastebin the entire file for us to read "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[01:48] <TJ-> matt_: usually there isn't - you're almost unique :)
[01:49] <matt__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12104702/
[01:55] <TJ-> matt_: that PC has dual GPUs, intel and nvidia, an Optimus config?
[01:55] <matt__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12104702/
[01:55] <matt__> here is my pastebin TJ
[01:56] <matt__> yeah
[01:56] <matt__> i just used the nvidia proprietary driver
[01:56] <matt__> i dont have bumblebee or optimus to the best of my knowledge
[01:56] <matt__> all i did was dl the propreitary driver
[01:57] <Jake> is there a way to use iptunnel with a domain name on the remote side?
[01:57] <Jake> specifically with gre tunneling
[01:58] <TJ-> matt_: according to that log it has intel and nvidia "intel(G0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600"  and "NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce GTX 860M (GM107-A) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)"
[01:59] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, Question, I have an external drive attached how do I find the point point so I can make folders for Plex?
[01:59] <TJ-> matt_: starting at the top of the file, if you search for "(EE)" those lines are errors, and give some indication there's a conflict between intel and nvidia. You should ensure you have the nvidia-prime packages installed too
[01:59] <matt__> okay
[01:59] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: find the what?
[01:59] <matt__> so just sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime?
[01:59] <Jake> ElevyNJ: if my memory serves me correctly it is mounted in /media
[01:59] <TJ-> matt_: it may already be installed. Check with "apt-cache policy nvidia-prime"
[02:00] <matt__> TJ: I have nvidia-prime installed already
[02:00] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, Mount point so I know the path to the drive
[02:00] <squeese> Hey, got a system with two disks working fine, one has arch-linux and the other windows - would like to install ubuntu on the linux disk instead - do I need to take special care to not "break" the bootloader? (dont know how to phrase the question really, hope I get my Q across) =P
[02:01] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: Oh... well it depends if the device has been mounted by udisks... if so it'll be under /media/$USER/
[02:01] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: "mount" will show current mounts
[02:02] <TJ-> matt_: then there's some issue with the interaction according to that log. I'm not a fan of Optimus, we see far too many problems with it
[02:02] <ariscop> so i've uploaded a source package via dput to my ppa, is there some sort of notification that it's worked?
[02:03] <ElevyNJ> Jake thanks. Now how do I make this folder writable from any PC (windows or linux)
[02:03] <TJ-> ariscop: usually only get an email notification if there is a problem
[02:03] <Jake> chmod 655
[02:04] <TJ-> ariscop: best thing is to simply look at your PPA listing... after a few minutes it should show the package waiting to be built
[02:04] <matt__> hmmm
[02:04] <ariscop> TJ-, ah, so it can take a few minutes
[02:04] <matt__> so are there any options available to me?
[02:04] <TJ-> ariscop: yes, it depends on the buildd load
[02:04] <matt__> is it a problem with Gnome or is it solely my video card?
[02:05] <TJ-> matt_: the whole GPU switching area is a mess. there are 2 distinct forms, and they are very different. (MUX and MUX-less)
[02:06] <TJ-> matt_: that log-file suggests a config problem of some sort since the GPUs don't seem to be cooperating as they should
[02:06] <matt__> is there a way I can just deactivate the intel video card so it only uses the nvidia?
[02:06] <ariscop> matt__, for most modern nvidia cards, bumblebee should work
[02:06] <ariscop> not in the mux-less setup
[02:06] <TJ-> matt_: possibly; in the PC's firmware setup
[02:06] <matt__> ariscop:  okay, how would you recommend I install it so that everything goes smoothly?
[02:07] <ElevyNJ> Is there a way to overide the laptop going into sleep/suspend mode when the screen is closed?
[02:07] <ariscop> matt__, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[02:07] <TJ-> matt_: that log suggests that PC might well be MUX-less - there's no indication that the nvidia GPU sees any outputs
[02:08] <matt__> ariscop: any advice about using it?  is there anything i need to set up beyond this?
[02:08] <matt__> TJ:  I don't know what MUX means...but I thought I installed the driver alright :/
[02:09] <TJ-> matt_: Multipleser
[02:09] <TJ-> matt_: Multiplexer
[02:09] <n_blownapart> hello could anyone walk me through an update: from bodhiLinux 2.3.0 to 3.1.0 . ? Apparently my /etc/apt/source.list config file doesn't have current repos. I have know clue...noob. thanks!
[02:09] <ariscop> matt__, once installed, to run something on the dedicated card you need to prefix it with 'optirun'
[02:09] <matt__> TJ:  do you agree with ariscop that bumblebee is a good idea?
[02:09] <TJ-> matt_: Installing the packages should be sufficient, but the driver has to write a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf for most Optimus cases... it is possible that has something wrong in it
[02:10] <TJ-> matt_: I don't know, I won't use Optimus myself. I thought I heard mention that Bumblebee was deprecated in favour of nvidia-prime - but not 100% sure
[02:10] <wylem> Holy shit this is frustrating.
[02:10] <ariscop> TJ-, bumblebee comes with its own xorg confs in /etc/bumblebee
[02:11] <TJ-> ariscop: right, but currently the broken system has an nvidia-generated xorg.conf... which may be all that needs tweaking to fix the issue
[02:11] <ariscop> Oh
[02:11] <n_blownapart> Oh TJ-  *there* you are... :)
[02:11] <TJ-> ariscop: "|-->Screen "nvidia" (0) "
[02:12] <ariscop> surely wiping xorg.conf would work? i'm not sure what version he's on
[02:12] <TJ-> ariscop: the log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12104702/
[02:12] <ariscop> yeah, wiping xorg.conf should 'just work', newer xorg autodetects everything
[02:12] <wylem> To clarify again: I just installed MATE 15.04. I then updated and installed synaptic. I went to add a shortcut for synaptic in the "applications" menu, and it did nothing. I installed alacarte, and it wouldn't allow me to create a shortcut. Can anyone please help me out?
[02:13] <TJ-> ariscop: I thought one was needed for optimus MUX-less?
[02:13] <TJ-> matt_: can you "pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[02:13] <ariscop> TJ-, shouldn't be, i've been on two optimus machines and neither had issues
[02:15] <OerHeks> Bumblebee is old, nvidia-prime is the current tool https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics

[02:17] <spearson> Hi
[02:19] <spearson> I'm trying to follow these http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1537708 instructions to make the trackpad issue permanent but I can't find the touchpad section though
[02:20] <spearson> also, when I try to save the file, it says Could not find the file “/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf”.
[02:20] <spearson> could someone assist?
[02:20] <matt__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12104823/
[02:20] <matt__> TJ here is my pastebin of Xorg.conf
[02:21] <spearson> thanks but somehow my file is blank
[02:22] <spearson> and it says (gedit:2842): Gtk-WARNING **: Calling Inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files
[02:22] <TJ-> matt_: from what I've seen from other users, that looks correct.
[02:22] <spearson> when I put in the commend to bring up the file
[02:22] <matt__> okay..so is there anything i can do to get the monitor working? what steps would you take if you were me?
[02:23] <OerHeks> spearson, i think you need "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf"  >>> see last answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/431270/where-did-usr-lib-x11-xorg-conf-d-10-synaptics-conf-go
[02:23] <matt__> when I plug the HDMI in, my laptop screen goes black and then the new big monitor flashes between black and a grey screen that says "ubuntu gnome"
[02:24] <limbera> how do i permanently set environment variables without defining them in my bashrc
[02:24] <TJ-> it's not the monitors that are the issue... the intel is even trying to switch both outputs to 1920x1080, that shows in the logs. I would check if there is any firmware setup options that might be causing the problem... some firmwares have options for controlling use of the hybrid GPUs.
[02:25] <OerHeks> spearson, wrong cut/paste, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
[02:27] <ElevyNJ> Question: Now that I have my ubuntu system seeing the eternal display how do I make it the default when I launch apps?
[02:27] <TJ-> matt_: I found this... worth trying: http://askubuntu.com/questions/603603/nvidia-not-displaying-correctly-hdmi-monitor
[02:27] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: set it as the primary
[02:27] <matt__> :(
[02:27] <wylem> Anyone?
[02:27] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: something like "xrandr --output VGA1 --primary"
[02:28] <OerHeks> wylem not using ubuntu-mate myself, i wonder why you need to make a shortcut for synaptic...
[02:28] <matt__> TJ: Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia-xconfig-original' Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[02:29] <wylem> I suppose I don't. I just don't want an open terminal window every time I use it.
[02:29] <TJ-> matt_: log out and back in again, that'll restart the X server with the new config... test it... and check the new Xorg.0.log that generates in case it has different reports
[02:30] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, thanks. last quesion for the night. i turned on desktop sharing.How do I view it from a windows 10 box?
[02:30] <spearson> what location do I save the file to?
[02:30] <TJ-> wylem: you can create a freedesktop .desktop file for it, in $HOME/local/share/applications/
[02:31] <wylem> Thanks, TJ.
[02:32] <spearson> does it go in HD > usr > lib > X11?
[02:32] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: I think I'll let you figure that out :D
[02:33] <TJ-> ElevyNJ: I'd guess it'll be something to do with needing aq VNC client on Windows
[02:33] <Matt____> TJ: I restarted my computer and now my laptop is not in 1920x1080 resolution
[02:33] <Matt____> everything is messed up

[02:35] <Matt____> how do i put the original xorg.conf back?
[02:35] <ElevyNJ> TJ-, Thanks for the help

[02:43] <Pinkamena_D> Looking to run a script to switch from one gpu to another. It seems that I will need to modify xorg somehow, automatic would be preferred. Any ideas where I can start?
[02:48] <Bashing-om> Pinkamena_D: Depends on the GPU sets .
[02:48] <Pinkamena_D> It is not the hybridgraphics, as this is the only situation I can seem to find support for at all.
[02:49] <Pinkamena_D> I have two situations that I care about: 1) intel laptop gpu to external pcie gpu. 2) desktop gpu to another desktop gpu (pcie)
[02:50] <mfantastic37> hello
[02:50] <Pinkamena_D> hi
[02:50] <aeden__D> mfantastic37, !hello
[02:50] <aeden__D> grr
[02:50] <Pinkamena_D> ?
[02:50] <aeden__D> that didnt work the way i was expecting
[02:50] <Pinkamena_D> parser acting up?
[02:51] <tgm4883> !hello | mfantastic37
[02:51]  * tgm4883 shrugs
[02:51] <aeden__D> Pinkamena_D, na, tried to envoke ubottu...
[02:51] <Pinkamena_D> !hello
[02:51] <Pinkamena_D> must be asleep
[02:52] <mfantastic37> this is kind of unrelated to ubuntu. But i have a need for windows (software) and i have been running win7 in vitual box. Its slow and painful. will my older PC with a core 2 quad q9400 benifit from installing an ssd?
[02:52] <tgm4883> there isn't a hello factoid
[02:52] <Bashing-om> Pinkamena_D: Not a lot of direct help, but I have seen the means to do do so on this mega thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743535&highlight=i915&page=86 ; using the xorg.conf files to switch .
[02:53] <aeden__D> !hi
[02:53] <aeden__D> crap lol
[02:54] <mfantastic37> trying to speed up and make more stable my vitualbox win7
[02:54] <Pinkamena_D> yeah, ssd helps older spec computers too.
[02:55] <aeden__D> tgm4883, hi 	<deleted><reply> Hi! Welcome to $chan! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.…Guidelines . Enjoy your stay!
[02:55] <mfantastic37> ubuntu runs just fine except when virtual box and win7 is hogging its resources
[02:55] <tgm4883> mfantastic37: RAM?
[02:55] <mfantastic37> 8gb
[02:55] <tgm4883> how much did you give the VM?
[02:55] <mfantastic37> i believe 4gb
[02:56] <tgm4883> I think an SSD would definitely help
[02:56] <mfantastic37> i already ordered it
[02:56] <Pinkamena_D> Bashing-om, so I guess here is the large conceptual question about this: Can I switch cards without loosing all of my opened programs, or does a larger project have to make major changes for this?
[02:56] <mfantastic37> was just hoping its not a waste
[02:57] <tgm4883> mfantastic37: oh, well you won't be dissappointed by it :)
[02:57] <daftykins> mfantastic37: my old Q6600 loves the SSDs in it :)
[02:58] <mfantastic37> ohh i gave virtualbox win7 3gb of ram
[02:58] <mfantastic37> i ordered the samsung ssd
[02:58] <Pinkamena_D> For example, I have tried and failed so far to modify xorg files to switch, but I guess this is my fault, but even if I was successful, I would have to do a lightdm restart to see the changes, in which case I might as well just restart the whole machine, which detracts from the usefulness.
[02:59] <mfantastic37> awesome.. how do i adress someone in irc.. like @daftykins
[02:59] <Bashing-om> Pinkamena_D: My thought is that you would have to close all down in the cuurent config, and restart all new in the new config .
[02:59] <daftykins> not the twitter / facebook way that's for sure
[02:59] <daftykins> just nick at the start of the sentence :P
[03:00] <mfantastic37> im not ready to move on to an i7 just yet my q9400 is no slouch
[03:00] <Pinkamena_D> So this is just kind of a limitation in the entire X architecture at this point?
[03:01] <mfantastic37> nick? like literally type nick?
[03:01] <daftykins> yeah i'm holding out for when an upgrade would be justified too - probably not for a while given skylake wasn't so great and kaby lake is a stop-gap since intel can't shrink their process nodes anymore :<
[03:01] <daftykins> no nicknames.
[03:01] <daftykins> !who
[03:02] <daftykins> Pinkamena_D: yep you're just a niche customer. you could however script up a lightdm stop, file swap, then start perhaps
[03:02] <daftykins> Pinkamena_D: or i bet you can do something with /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ files but no idea what.
[03:03] <mfantastic37> got it daftykins
[03:03] <Bashing-om> Pinkamena_D: I am not that in-depth familiar with the X layer . But I am not aware of a on-the-fly method to switch graphics sets .
[03:03] <mfantastic37> did it help with stability daftykins ?
[03:05] <daftykins> mfantastic37: SSD and stability? not sure what you mean there, if your system isn't stable in terms of CPU load, RAM load or whatever then disk won't change much
[03:07] <mfantastic37> well sometimes. when switching user accounts it freezes or the password entry box dissappears and requires a reboot. thats not why im purchasing an ssd though. daftykins
[03:08] <snowkidind> I just installed trusty with an SSD and i notice a significant decrease in response times
[03:08] <snowkidind> before with a mechanical HD some commands would just churn the HDD into forever
[03:09] <daftykins> ah, i don't run Linux on that machine anywho
[03:09] <mfantastic37> oic
[03:10] <mfantastic37> well im going to bed. goodnight everyone.
[03:10] <daftykins> o/
[03:14] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D: what you want isn't available. It would require such things as transferring OpenGL textures and other primitives, object handles, from one GPU and its dedicated memory, to another.
[03:17] <Pinkamena_D> I am not much of a low level programmer, so I can not speak with knowledge about this topic. However from a hardware/performance standpoint it should be doable, as certain _other_ operatins systems do it with ease.
[03:18] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D: there is very little demand for what you describe; it is an extreme niche
[03:18] <Pinkamena_D> Accepting that I do need to lose the programs for a switch, though, my biggest hurdle is correctly modifying xorg. I have tried creating a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, adding some reasonable looking entries, and restarting the service, but usually I guess wrong (lol) and I just get a black desktop.
[03:19] <Pinkamena_D> Would there be something to either 1) generate some xorg entried based on current hardware or 2) "test" the new config, and revert after 10 seconds or something if it does not work?
[03:19] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D: don't modify xorg.conf. Keep 2 spearate config files and switch between them.
[03:20] <daftykins> Pinkamena_D: honestly i already suggested something :|
[03:21] <Pinkamena_D> You said I could do 'something' with the files but 'no idea what', unless I missed another comment that oyu made.
[03:22] <daftykins> < daftykins> Pinkamena_D: yep you're just a niche customer. you could however script up a lightdm stop, file swap, then start perhaps
[03:22] <Pinkamena_D> Also TJ-, switching may seen niche, but a fair amount of people may like to have three monitors but each video card only has two outputs. This is still not extremely common but I know a few people with this setup.
[03:22] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D: another option is to run each GPU as a separate X screens and use something like xpra + shifter
[03:23] <daftykins> Pinkamena_D: why would anyone need to switch anything in that setup?
[03:23] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D: I have 3 GPUs and 6 monitors with 4 X sessions on my laptop, and never wanted to move between the X screens. I prefer the session separation
[03:24] <daftykins> 3 on a laptop o0
[03:25] <Pinkamena_D> Ok, so to clarify the 'switching' I am not looking for power saving or anything. If I can just leave the intel gpu on and do everything I need on the other gpu without 'turning it off', that is fine.
[03:25] <daftykins> heh, pretty sure nobody considered that to be a problem
[03:25] <daftykins> it's the general task itself
[03:27] <Pinkamena_D> So I guess I am a little more confused here than when I started about what is and is not possible.
[03:28] <TJ-> daftykins: yeah: http://i.imgur.com/eUrjfxk.jpg
[03:28] <Pinkamena_D> Is there an algorithm that ubuntu goes through to make the xorg file when the system is set up, that I could modify to generate a new one for another device?
[03:29] <daftykins> now that's a man cave :)
[03:29] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D: each time the Z server (xorg) is started it is told a config file to read. You could have several xorg.conf files and have the display manager select the appropriate file when (re)starting the X server
[03:30] <TJ-> daftykins: I have a Quadro NVS420 (2 GPUs - 4 heads) in an external PCIe ViDock connected via ExpressCard
[03:32] <Pinkamena_D> TJ, that is similar to the setup I would like to obtain, I also use the egpu dock. Have you documented your efforts anywhere?
[03:33] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D: I occasionally share the xorg.conf: https://iam.tj/projects/misc/xorg.XPS-NVS420-6monitor.conf
[03:34] <Pinkamena_D> So you have this 'nvidia-settings' (it seems) which is like a frontend for editing xorg.conf?
[03:35] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D: that's a leftover. I hand-crafted the xorg.conf
[03:36] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D:  but the nvidia drivers have a supporting config tool in the nvidia-settings package, which is both a command-line and GUI application
[03:37] <Pinkamena_D> It just seems like quite a lot of imformation to have to manually compile to prepare a few monitors. Perhaps if no one else has ever proposed working on it I can learn this and make a config tool.
[03:38] <daftykins> you could just contribute your time to X's replacement
[03:38] <TJ-> It depends on what is required. the X server has automatic configuration for simple configs but for complex configs it needs to be told
[03:38] <Pinkamena_D> Because it is rare to see someone else with the egpu setup, I just want to ask how you manage with it. Are you able to revert settings correctly when you undock?
[03:38] <daftykins> help steer it to be what we want it to become
[03:38] <SuperLag> Are there any apps/packages that will do an automated disk usage report? or do you have to use some third-party thing like Nagios for that?
[03:39] <daftykins> SuperLag: disk usage? like 'df -h' you mean?
[03:39] <TJ-> Pinkamena_D: when I need to go mobile the X server had to be stopped and the current xorg.conf gets moved out the way, and put back again when I return to the workbench
[03:40] <Pinkamena_D> daftykins, replacement? Has anything been proposed for this? I have never hears of it.
[03:40] <daftykins> Wayland isn't it?
[03:40] <daftykins> hmm you might want to do some research then
[03:41] <wafflejock1> SuperLag: you should have disk usage if you search in the dash
[03:41] <wafflejock1> SuperLag: pretty sure it's installed by default
[03:46] <Pinkamena_D> Ok, final question about this before I leave you alone: For the example xorg.conf entries above, where could I place then in ubuntu? I have by default no /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The only related entried are broken up into a bunch of files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
[03:46] <Pinkamena_D> (sorry about replacing s with d so much)
[03:46] <daftykins> there's no xorg.conf as default because everything is auto detect
[03:46] <daftykins> when you make one, it has always historically gone in /etc/X11/ yes
[03:47] <Pinkamena_D> but will that overwrite everything in the other files, or extend it? How can I only change the monitors, not all of the other inputs and such, without breaking everything?
[03:48] <Pinkamena_D> From what I could find there are not even any "screen" entries in the /usr/share location?
[03:48] <daftykins> yeah you need to do some reading, honestly i'm amazed that you've been discussing this topic without even having touched on any of these 'beginner X config' topics
[03:49] <SuperLag> daftykins: wafflejock1: I want to report space hogs. People whose ~ is taking up the drive.
[03:50] <Pinkamena_D> Well, when I wanted to add monitors, I did not instantly expect a large amount of research would be needed, but I stand corrected. Do you have a link you feel conveys recent and accurate information that I should invest time into reading?
[03:50] <SuperLag> daftykins: wafflejock1: We have some users who forget about the leftover data their jobs generate, and it fills up the drive
[03:51] <daftykins> Pinkamena_D: no
[03:51] <SuperLag> Pinkamena_D: I haven't followed since the beginning of the convo
[03:51] <SuperLag> Pinkamena_D: I'd look into arandr
[03:51] <SuperLag> it's very useful for configuring displays, especially multiple
[03:51] <daftykins> SuperLag: hmm seems like an after the fact thing that, quotas could've been handy maybe :>
[03:55] <Pinkamena_D> Bashing-om ; daftykins ; TJ , I appreciate your time in trying to help me understand this issue, and what I should expect to be possible.
[03:56] <Pinkamena_D> SuperLag, I am not sure it arandr will work any better than the built-on ubuntu ool for configuring multiple gpus.
[03:56] <Pinkamena_D> But I appreciate the suggestion anyway.
[03:56] <drkjstr> SuperLag: have you tried: sudo du -h -d 1 /home
[03:58] <darth> what is the oem install?
[03:59] <daftykins> !oem
[03:59] <daftykins> a way of giving someone an 'out of box experience'
[04:00] <darth> Will I be in trouble, or risk it, if I use that option?
[04:00] <Bashing-om> Pinkamena_D: :) ) also jabe an actibve interest on X, you may find these of interest : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution , http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html .
[04:01] <daftykins> darth: what are you trying to achieve? there's no 'getting into trouble'
[04:01] <darth> that is a good answer. I am a newb. only been playing casually for 3 years.
[04:03] <daftykins> ok well oem installs are ones you'd do on a PC before selling it on
[04:03] <daftykins> so that person would get a setup wizard on first boot
[04:03] <darth> oh, that's cool.
[04:05] <darth> have an old samsung rv520, only thing so far that runs without issue is mint and ubuntu. this last live usb had an oem install option. just had no idea. adhd makes research difficult.
[04:05] <SuperLag> daftykins: I didn't set these machines up. I started a gig where I get paid to admin them, years after the fact. I get the privelege of ugprading one particular box from 10 -> 12 -> 14
[04:06] <daftykins> to claim you can't google something quickly because of a labelled condition is quite frankly pathetic, darth
[04:06] <daftykins> SuperLag: neat, though that would only have to be to 12 :>
[04:06] <daftykins> bit of life left in the old dog yet
[04:06] <darth> not what I meant. I just may be doing to many things is all.
[04:08] <darth> dell mini 10 : ubuntu server, 2006 macbook pro dualboot with mint, samsung now installing ubuntu 14, old faithfull running ubuntu studio for my passion in music
[04:09] <darth> research is just so exiting, I get lost.
[04:12] <darth> have you built a cloud server?
[04:12] <FemAnon> anyone know of a fairly simple script that would allow me to wipe a device with random data and have some sort of percentage of completion to std output? or a readout of the amount of data that has been written? gotta wipe a LARGE drive
[04:15] <Bashing-om> FemAnon: Is time a factor ? 'dd' to wipe the drive, and in another terminal one can get a status . directions to do so in the manual entry ' man dd '.
[04:16] <FemAnon> time is not a factor
[04:16] <limbera> hello
[04:16] <limbera> i'm trying to declare some environment variables
[04:16] <javnut> I need to randomly name all the files in a folder like this 13d2f19a-aa65-450f-86e9-a921745cef68.*ext*
[04:16] <limbera> for example in /etc/environment i have this line
[04:16] <limbera> DJANGO_MODE="Production"
[04:17] <limbera> but when i printing
[04:17] <limbera> DJANGO_MODE doesn't appear
[04:17] <javnut> how do I bash that?
[04:22] <ThePengwin> javnut: you should be able to loop all files and rename them using uuidgen
[04:22] <javnut> ThePengwin: thanks, didn't know about uuidgen
[04:23] <ThePengwin> just googled it myself, lol
[04:39] <keviv> 14.04 laptop eth0 has stopped working last few days. wlan seems to work just fine, but under "Ethernet network" in the network manager it says "device not managed". http://paste.pound-python.org/show/tDfRgl7xi1vjAo0K3k8h/
[04:39] <keviv> Also, I have no idea what the eth0:avahi interface is, that's new. It's appeared only today
[04:42] <zykotick9> keviv: fyi, "Device not managed" means it's setup in /etc/network/interfaces so N-M can use it...
[04:43] <keviv> zykotick9: and how should that be set up?
[04:44] <keviv> Also I guess I should say that the link led is on and the packet activity led blinks a few Hz
[04:46] <zykotick9> keviv: i'd suggest commenting out the lines involving eth0 in your interfaces file
[04:47] <keviv> zykotick9: I kinda added those in response to this problem lol, I think that's what made N-M say what it does now, but it still wasn't working before this
[04:47] <zykotick9> keviv: typo above... that should be "... it's setup in /etc/network/interfaces so N-M CAN'T use it"
[04:47] <keviv> ahhhh
[04:47] <keviv> I'll do that and restart networking
[04:51] <keviv> Lol http://paste.pound-python.org/show/9wb2fGpTb8naMI0ox6cH/
[04:51] <antoine> Bonjour a tous
[04:51] <keviv> Heya
[04:52] <not2but1> Apa kabar?
[04:56] <keviv> zykotick9: yea that did it, thanks. Not sure why it stopped in the first place a few days ago. Oh well
[05:01] <zykotick9> keviv: glad to help.
[05:15] <limbera> if i have a command line application (unicorn) that i normally execute like so
[05:15] <limbera> gunicorn -b 0:8000 myproject.wsgi
[05:15] <limbera> but i want to actually execute it from a shell script
[05:15] <limbera> e.g.
[05:15] <limbera> exec gunicorn -b 0:8000 myproject.wsgi
[05:15] <limbera> and set an environment variable when i do that
[05:15] <limbera> how can i?
[05:16] <limbera> e.g. i would execute this in a shell "DJANGO_SETTINGS=Production gunicorn -b 0:8000 myproject.wsgi"
[05:19] <keviv> Ack, just unplugged and plugged in ethernet, and it's back offline
[05:20] <keviv> I'm sure if I reboot it'll be back up, but it's a laptop, I don't want to reboot every time I plug in a cable
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> keviv: check your syslog and dmesg while plug/unplug
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> keviv: it might give you relevant errors
[05:26] <Jamie_1> I accidently ran a script as root that i should not have... how do i undo that?
[05:29] <xangua> !details
[05:29] <Jamie_1> im not really sure what i ran as sudo that was not supposed to be in all truth... but now i am suddenly running into permissions error when trying to copy files from one place to another from the terminal
[05:30] <Jamie_1> https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8842910
[05:30] <Jamie_1> that is what i am running into now
[05:31] <keviv> Jamie_1: is this android?
[05:31] <Jamie_1> its on firefox os
[05:31] <Jamie_1> keviv: ^
[05:32] <keviv> I'll bet you it's forked off of android
[05:33] <Jamie_1> keviv: only part that is forked off of android is the hardware interaction parts... and even those are further edited to match what is needed
[05:34] <somsip> Jamie_1: this is nothing to do with ubuntu. Try finding the firefoxOS support channel
[05:34] <Jamie_1> somsip: i was told over there it was not doing with firefox os... that it was due to i ran something is sudo i should not have
[05:34] <keviv> lotuspsychje: seems the last time dmesg was updated was 20 minutes after boot "[ 1201.164517] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged"
[05:34] <somsip> Jamie_1: in what way is this something to do with ubuntu?
[05:35] <Jamie_1> somsip: i was told it was to do with i ran a script in sudo that should not have been so it wrote the files in sudo and now i am trying to write non-root files to a rooted area....
[05:36] <Jamie_1> *to a root area*
[05:36] <somsip> Jamie_1: again, what is this to do with ubuntu. Are you running this script on ubuntu?
[05:36] <Jamie_1> yes
[05:36] <not2but1> Jamie_1 format it! Done
[05:36] <somsip> Jamie_1: does that oath exist on the paste? ../../vendors or whatever?
[05:37] <Jamie_1> somsip: are you asking if those files its looking for exist?
[05:37] <somsip> Jamie_1: no - path (typo of oath)
[05:37] <diegoaguilar> Hello,  I just installed a fresh ubuntu 12.04.5 on a dell laptop and got this right on ubuntu boot: https://goo.gl/RUpB49
[05:38] <Jamie_1> somsip: yes the paths all exist and are accessable as far as i know
[05:38] <keviv> lotuspsychje: nothing relevant happens on syslog after unplug or plug. In fact the only 2 things that DO happen are wlan0 getting DHCPv4 renewals and org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher being activated. I know these are both networking things, but neither coincides with a change of ethernet state
[05:39] <lotuspsychje> keviv: ubuntu version?
[05:39] <somsip> Jamie_1: paste an ls -la ../../../vendor from the directory that contains that script
[05:39] <keviv> lotuspsychje: 14.04
[05:39] <Jamie_1> somsip: okay one sec
[05:39] <keviv> wat
[05:39] <keviv> um
[05:40] <keviv> lotuspsychje: soooooo I plug it into power while ethernet is in and suddenly NM connects to eth0
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> keviv: what driver shows sudo lshw -C network?
[05:41] <Jamie_1> somsip: just so you know that dir is on a device https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8842911
[05:41] <somsip> Jamie_1: what device? A firefoxOS device by any chance?
[05:41] <Jamie_1> somsip: yes
[05:41] <somsip> Jamie_1: ok - good luck. Bye
[05:41] <Jamie_1> somsip: what????
[05:42] <keviv> lotuspsychje: idk if it lists the driver
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> keviv: its behind driver=
[05:43] <lotuspsychje> keviv: pastebin, if your unsure
[05:43] <keviv> ah
[05:43] <keviv> lotuspsychje: r8169
[05:43] <lotuspsychje> keviv: realtek?
[05:43] <keviv> lotuspsychje: yeah
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> keviv: have you installed ubuntu with working internet enabled, and updates during setup?
[05:44] <keviv> lotuspsychje: yeah I've had this install for ... maybe about a year?
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> keviv: went wrong after an update perhaps?
[05:45] <keviv> lotuspsychje: it's possible
[05:45] <lotuspsychje> keviv: try loading a previous kernel, see if you still get network drop
[05:46] <keviv> lotuspsychje: will do, actually, is t possible to see which kernels are installed before I reboot?
[05:47] <keviv> oh ls /boot
[05:47] <lotuspsychje> keviv: you can check them at grub also
[05:47] <keviv> ah true
[05:49] <keviv> lotuspsychje: seems that they're all 3.13.0-xx, do kernel numbers not change a whole bunch now?
[05:49] <lotuspsychje> keviv: just try the kernel before, previous number at the end
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> keviv: tell me, why do you unplugh eth cable exactly?
[05:50] <keviv> lotuspsychje: to move the laptop
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> keviv: cant you plug eth before boot?
[05:51] <Hxxx> Is the ubuntu software center market down?
[05:51] <Hxxx> been waiting for something to process...
[05:51] <keviv> lotuspsychje: unfortunately my laptop has a funky eth port and sometimes if it gets jostled it gets unplugged, so there's that too
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> keviv: maybe thats why it gets faulty<?
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> keviv: you have network drops over wifi too?
[05:53] <keviv> lotuspsychje: I've isolated this behavior to the fact that NM will only recognize a change to eth once I plug it into power
[05:53] <keviv> lotuspsychje: My room is a little far from the router unfortunately
[05:54] <lotuspsychje> keviv: you could buy a stronger linksys router perhaps
[05:54] <lotuspsychje> keviv: or try the previous kernel thing
[05:54] <keviv> lotuspsychje: yup rebooting now
[05:59] <keviv> lotuspsychje: yeah switching from 3.13.0-61 to -58 seemed to do it
[06:04] <lotuspsychje> !yay | keviv
[06:04] <lotuspsychje> keviv: might be a 14.04.3 thing that corrupts realteks driver
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> keviv: so working on previous kernel or file a new bug are your choices
[06:15] <tgrx11> hi
[06:25] <gianni> hi guys
[06:35] <eanyx> Hi does anyone know how to check remote network duplex (half or full) without using autonegotiation?
[06:36] <bestlife> how to block face book
[06:37] <bestlife> using iptables
[06:37] <subz3r0> is this a joke?
[06:37] <subz3r0> are you serious?
[06:37] <not2but1> Lol
[06:37] <bestlife> for my company
[06:37] <subz3r0> blocking facebook? facebook is the best thing what ever could happen for the humanity
[06:38] <subz3r0> we all love it to share nasty stuff there
[06:38] <subz3r0> like "hey im peeeeing on the toilet atm"
[06:38] <icgo> users will just use their mobile phones to access Facebook soberly bother blocking it
[06:39] <subz3r0> im not sure what youre going to try
[06:39] <icgo> so why bother
[06:39] <subz3r0> but the better solution would be a proxy
[06:39] <subz3r0> like squid proxy
[06:39] <cmdswitch> bestlife: may I suggest a simple "iptables block facebook" google search if truly want to do such a thing.
[06:39] <bestlife> i was search but doesn't work
[06:40] <cmdswitch> bestlife: I found many entries that are viable
[06:40] <subz3r0> well you can use this rules
[06:40] <subz3r0> iptables -A INPUT -p TCP -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -s >somefacebookrange< -j DROP
[06:40] <subz3r0> and
[06:41] <bestlife> squid can't block https
[06:41] <subz3r0> iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -m conntrack --ctstate -d <somefacebookrange> -j DROP
[06:41] <subz3r0> hmm?
[06:41] <bestlife> than x
[06:41] <cmdswitch> bestlife: like https://gist.github.com/luisuribe/3048290
[06:41] <subz3r0> the toplevel domain is not encrypted
[06:41] <Kartagis> bestlife: http://serverfault.com/questions/360689/permanently-blocking-a-domain-in-iptables
[06:41] <subz3r0> so squid can block it
[06:42] <shibu_> HY guys

[07:14] <Repox> Hi guys! Rookie question here. I have a log file which is being access both by www-data user from Nginx and my application user from php-fpm. Depending on who generates the file first, the other user cannot write to the log file anymore. To allow both users, in a safe way, to do so, what is the best approach?
[07:20] <lostchild> hello
[07:20] <Joschii> hi
[07:21] <tintedwindows> OK, "universal usb installer", "unetbootin" & some other crap......... I am working off of Ubuntu, I do not have Windows on this machine anymore.  Is there a program that is equivalent to these?  I'm trying to make linux mint bootable USB.
[07:22] <lostchild> how build LNMP
[07:22] <bazhang> !lamp | lostchild
[07:22] <bazhang> tintedwindows, use dd
[07:23] <lostchild> no
[07:23] <bazhang> lostchild, what is lnmp then
[07:24] <lostchild> i'm linux nginx mysql python
[07:24] <bazhang> lostchild, install them from the package manager
[07:26] <lostchild> thank you

[07:27] <tintedwindows> ok got it thanks
[07:36] <Jamie_1> hey i am having one hell of an issue... i was following directions from someone i thought knew what they were doing and by doing so accidentally set my root dir to not root any more... so now everything is messed up... is there a way to fix this at all... i dont have a spare usb to create a boot disk and cant format a partition to setup as a bootable "liveusb" due to this problem....
[07:36] <Jamie_1> i know i have created one hell of an issue....
[07:38] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | Jamie_1
[07:39] <Jamie_1> lotuspsychje: if i were to shutdown i will not be able to boot at all
[07:39] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: you can always enter grub, load previous kernel, fix broken packages from recoverymode,..
[07:40] <zaggynl> or run off to the shop for a cheap usb drive
[07:40] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: or in worst case, plug out your hd physicaly and backup data
[07:40] <Jamie_1> lotuspsychje: i thought that used parts of the root partiton....
[07:41] <Jamie_1> and zaggynl the closest store to me period is a good 3 mi away.... :\
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: what are you affraid to loose?
[07:41] <Jamie_1> i dont care about losing anyting.... other than a bootable computer
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: then try the recoverymode or previous kernel
[07:42] <Jamie_1> okay i will... gonna hop onto irc on my flatfish
[07:42] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: the 'fix broken packages' option from recoverymode can do magic sometimes
[07:42] <Jamie_1> i hope it does :)
[07:42] <zaggynl> 3 miles isn't that far away, or am I too optimistic?
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> yeah a cheap usb stick always comes handy with ubuntu on it
[07:43] <Jamie_1> yea.... that is a general store that carries food.... and that doesnt carry almost anything else
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: you can also order a cheap usb bootable cd online
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: -usb, just a bootable dvd
[07:45] <ObrienDave> like 5 bucks
[07:45] <Jamie_1> either way i hope i can fix this easily without a usb... worse comes to worse i can break down and just do a net install
[07:45] <Jamie_1> again.....
[07:45] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: download an ubuntu iso before reboot, you can load iso's into grub also
[07:46] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: if things go really wrong..
[07:46] <Jamie_1> oh....
[07:46] <zaggynl> ha neat, didn't know about that
[07:46] <ObrienDave> O.o news to me ;P
[07:46] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1, zaggynl https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[07:46] <Jamie_1> same to me zaggynl
[07:47] <lotuspsychje> of course usb method is more simple :p
[07:49] <lotuspsychje> Jamie_1: or the dvd buy method, free to pass and share: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=1146
[07:51] <jamie_flatfish> right now I'm just gonna try to do it via grub
[07:51] <lotuspsychje> jamie_flatfish: ok good luck
[07:52] <jamie_flatfish> I'm gonna need it
[07:53] <jamie_flatfish> what was that link to booting isos from grub?
[07:53] <zaggynl> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[07:53] <jamie_flatfish> thanks
[07:56] <jamie_flatfish> what hers do you hold to get into recovery mode again?
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> jamie_flatfish: hold shift at boot to enter grub
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> jamie_flatfish: then load ubuntu(recoverymode) from there
[07:56] <DieguezZ> hi, i am doing an installer and id like to add the user that runs the script to a group. as the script needs to be run with sudo, if i use $(whoami) it will return "root", is there any other command?
[07:57] <jamie_flatfish> thanks... only time I have used it was when I needs to change Kern's versions
[07:57] <jamie_flatfish> *kernal version.... dam auto correct
[08:10] <langxm> hi
[08:11] <lotuspsychje> langxm: welcome, what can we do for you?
[08:14] <adun153> Hi! I need help in assessing something.
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> !ask | adun153
[08:15] <jamie_flatfish> #android-root
[08:18] <adun153> I have a server, started it up in single user mode, but it hangs at this part. http://imgur.com/0TbYmtC  Cursor is blinking, so it hasn't really "locked up". Any suggestions?
[08:19] <adun153> At first, I thought it was fscking, but it's been like that for about 2 1/2 hours now.
[08:31] <erebus^> help! seems like compiz wont load after login...
[08:31] <erebus^> so here i am in commandline, clueless :p
[08:32] <adun153> what did you do just before that? Install a video driver?
[08:32] <erebus^> can i start in in tty7 in any way?
[08:32] <erebus^> adun153: didnt do anything...
[08:32] <erebus^> adun153: just normal use
[08:32] <lotuspsychje> erebus^: ubuntu version?
[08:32] <NegativeFlare> erebus^: Unity?
[08:32] <erebus^> unity yes

[08:35] <lotuspsychje> NegativeFlare: compiz works fine with unity, depending on card
[08:35] <NegativeFlare> lotuspsychje: I've always heard they didn't work with each other
[08:35] <erebus^> what happens is i type my password for login, but after i get in all i have is my wallpaper and a mousepointer
[08:35] <lotuspsychje> NegativeFlare: i have wobbly windows on compiz and unity working flawless here
[08:36] <erebus^> and i check top and compiz is stuck at 100% load

[08:36] <badbodh> erebus^, can you repeat your story in short . just joined in.
[08:36] <erebus^> lotuspsychje: nah, im an my computer right now, not going to reinstall :P
[08:37] <lotuspsychje> badbodh: compiz crashes on his 15.04
[08:37] <badbodh> can you remember what was the last thing you did? any install/remove, changing settings etc
[08:37] <badbodh> or is it a fresh install
[08:37] <erebus^> badbodh: yeah, i booted ubuntu 15.04, typed login cred, but desktop is only a wallpaper and a mousepointer. restart doesnt help
[08:38] <erebus^> badbodh: old install, but didnt change anything realy
[08:38] <lotuspsychje> erebus^: graphics card chipset?
[08:38] <erebus^> lotuspsychje: intel somethin, "graphics 500" or something? i dont even have a webbrowser here :P
[08:39] <badbodh> can you switch back-and-forth to tty shells ? ctrl-alt-f1 to f6 brings a tty shell (no gui)
[08:39] <lotuspsychje> erebus^: try something lighter perhaps, or 14.04
[08:39] <erebus^> badbodh: yep, im an tty1 now :p
[08:39] <badbodh> ctrl-alt-f7 and f8 will get back to gui
[08:39] <erebus^> badbodh: in irc from commandline
[08:40] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: greetings mate :p
[08:40] <badbodh> then you can re-install unity and compiz packages (apt-get install --reinstall xxx) , create a new user with 'adduser' command, login to new user account and see if it works
[08:40] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, hi ho, Good Sir!
[08:41] <erebus^> badbodh: hm, yeah i'll try that, thanks
[08:41] <mahdi> hi,on ubuntu server 14.04, i changed /etc/network/interfaces to new configuration in order to have static ip
[08:41] <badbodh> if it doesn't, you have likely a driver issue, or if you installed a new kernel recently.
[08:41] <lotuspsychje> mahdi: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might know?
[08:41] <badbodh> try older kernels by selecting 'advanced options' in grub
[08:42] <badbodh> good luck
[08:42] <NegativeFlare> mahdi: What do you want to do?
[08:42] <NegativeFlare> Configure your server for a Static IP?
[08:44] <Idiot> I installed Ubuntu yesterday, but the resolution is stuck at 640x480 and I can't change it from the settings.
[08:44] <NegativeFlare> Idiot: Graphics Driver issue, What GPU do you have?
[08:44] <x4w3> mahdi: what's ur problem then?
[08:45] <k1l> Idiot: did you install some video drivers from the ubuntu repo? how is the monitor connected? adapters involved?
[08:45] <NegativeFlare> x4w3: That's what I'm trying to figure out. xD
[08:45] <Idiot> kil: I'm on a laptop.
[08:45] <x4w3> :)
[08:45] <Idiot> NegativeFlare: SiS Mirage 3, I think.
[08:45] <mahdi> NegativeFlare: x4w3 i didnt knew there is ubuntu server chanel, i asked there, thanks
[08:46] <NegativeFlare> Idiot: fire up the terminal and run lspci, pastebin what it says

[08:47] <realloc1> Hi, my Ubuntu 14.10 asks me to update to 15.04 and I want to because of updates, but I'm on a M$ Surface Pro 2, using a custom Kernel (3.17.6) and drivers (vifino helped me there, but he seems to be away at the moment). Does a upgrade to 15.04 install a different kernel?
[08:48] <Halelujah> Hi im using Lubuntu! What irc client you recommend?
[08:48] <NegativeFlare> realloc1: yes
[08:48] <lotuspsychje> !irc | Halelujah
[08:48] <darknote> hey I'm having  performance issue
[08:48] <Halelujah> i need a leightweight irc client
[08:48] <Halelujah> with gui
[08:48] <lotuspsychje> Halelujah: hexchat or irssi
[08:49] <Halelujah> does irssi has gui?
[08:49] <k1l> Halelujah: start with hexchat
[08:49] <lotuspsychje> !info irssi | Halelujah
[08:49] <NegativeFlare> Idiot: Best option is probably to use vesa as your driver
[08:49] <realloc1> NegativeFlare: thx, but I should be able to install the old one, or?
[08:49] <Halelujah> Is hexchat in active development?
[08:49] <NegativeFlare> Idiot: Try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/455888/low-resolution-on-lubuntu-14-04-sis
[08:49] <k1l> Halelujah: yes
[08:49] <NegativeFlare> realloc1: I'm not sure, you probably could. But it might break stuff :/
[08:50] <NegativeFlare> realloc1: I'd stick to what you have for now.
[08:50] <Halelujah> k1l ok
[08:50] <realloc1> NegativeFlare: What about updates?
[08:50] <realloc1> NegativeFlare: security etc
[08:50] <NegativeFlare> realloc1: As long as apt doesn't upgrade your kernel you should be fine.
[08:50] <Idiot> NegativeFlare: Alrighty then. Thanks for helping!
[08:50] <lotuspsychje> !details | darknote
[08:50] <NegativeFlare> Idiot: no problem
[08:51] <realloc1> NegativeFlare: It says 14.10 doesn't get updates anymore
[08:51] <Halelujah> Whats better WeeChat or Irssi?
[08:51] <darknote>   I'm having slow graphics performance issue  , can anyone  help me? I knew its sort of bug of unity 3d since my ram is 2gb
[08:51] <k1l> realloc1: that is correct. its EOL already
[08:51] <NegativeFlare> realloc1: then your kinda stuck lol. Its at the end of its life :/
[08:51] <lotuspsychje> darknote: ubuntu version and grafix card chipset?
[08:53] <Idiot> NegativeFlare: The file browser doesn't let me create files in the folder.
[08:53] <NegativeFlare> Idiot: of course not
[08:53] <NegativeFlare> :P
[08:53] <NegativeFlare> use the terminal dude
[08:54] <Halelujah> Weechat or Irssi?
[08:54] <NegativeFlare> Halelujah: that's all in opinion
[08:54] <lotuspsychje> !best | Halelujah
[08:54] <k1l> Halelujah: test both and decide yourself
[08:54] <Idiot> NegativeFlare: That's what I was thinking of. Being a complete and utter terminal noob, I don't know how to create files.
[08:54] <NegativeFlare> Idiot: oh lordy
[08:54] <Halelujah> any huge difference between theM?
[08:54] <realloc1> NegativeFlare, k1l: Thank you anyway ;-)
[08:55] <NegativeFlare> Idiot: fire up the terminal and run "sudo nautilus"
[08:55] <Idiot> NegativeFlare: I chose my nickname for a reason.
[08:55] <Fuchs> Idiot: do not run sudo nautilus
[08:55] <NegativeFlare> type in your password
[08:55] <Fuchs> that's a bad idea
[08:55] <Fuchs> if you really need sudo for a graphical application, use gksudo or the likes
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> Halelujah: irssi is terminal based, try hexchat or weechat to start maybe
[08:55] <NegativeFlare> Fuchs: Well, otherwise he'll have to use nano xD
[08:55] <NegativeFlare> because gksudo is crap
[08:55] <Fuchs> NegativeFlare: no, no he doesn't
[08:55] <Halelujah> isnt weechat terminal based?
[08:55] <Idiot> To run or not to run, that is the question.
[08:55] <NegativeFlare> Halelujah: both weechat and irssi are.
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> !info weechat | Halelujah
[08:56] <Fuchs> NegativeFlare: using sudo for graphical applications will change the permissions on important files in your home folder, worst case leaving you with a system you can't (graphically) log into any more. Please don't recommend it.
[08:56] <Fuchs> Idiot: what kind of file do you need to create / edit?
[08:56] <Halelujah> !info irssi
[08:56] <tintedwindows> i did it
[08:56] <Halelujah> sudo apt-get install irssi
[08:56] <NegativeFlare> Fuchs: I've never had any issues with that. So I don't see anything wrong with it. And I've been running dedi's for the past 8 years xD But do what you see fits.
[08:57] <Idiot> http://askubuntu.com/questions/455888/low-resolution-on-lubuntu-14-04-sis I need to create the file specified in the answer.
[08:57] <tintedwindows> i used the DD command to make a USB bootable
[08:57] <Fuchs> NegativeFlare: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Graphical_sudo
[08:57] <tintedwindows> it was easy
[08:57] <jamie_flatfish> hey I'm in grub trying to set momentry so I can boot.... but when I run "loopback loop (hd0)$isofile" its returning unknown filesystem
[08:57] <NegativeFlare> Fuchs: hmph, gksudo always breaks imo. So again, do what you see fits.
[08:57] <Idiot> I trieed to find a solutuion, but started an arguement instead...
[08:58] <Fuchs> Idiot: right, you have two easy possibilities: you can either use the terminal editor nano  (sudo nano  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/use-vesa.conf)  and edit it. A small help is displayed at the bottom, ^ is the control key, thus CTRL+X would save
[08:58] <NegativeFlare> Idiot: Try doing it with gksudo
[08:58] <Idiot> NegativeFlare: Alrighty then.
[08:58] <Fuchs> Idiot: the alternative version is to run whatever text editor you like, create that file, save it where you do have permissions and then copy it over with   sudo cp /path/to/your/file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/use-vesa.conf
[08:58] <tintedwindows> command "df -h" then sudo dd if="name of iso imag" of="/nameofusbdrive(minusthe#)"
[08:58] <Fuchs> Idiot: the last possibility is to run a graphical application as root, for that: please use gksudo, as per above
[08:59] <tintedwindows> haha i thought you were calling him an idiot at first
[08:59] <tintedwindows> I still prefer Ubuntu over Linux Mint, everyone with me here?????
[08:59] <lotuspsychje> !mint | tintedwindows
[09:00] <jamie_flatfish> anyone have any ideas why  its returning unknown filesystem?
[09:00] <Fuchs> tintedwindows: #ubuntu-offtopic for that kind of sillyness, please.
[09:00] <cfhowlett> tintedwindows, please don't poll
[09:00] <tintedwindows> woah jeez alright
[09:00] <tintedwindows> later
[09:00] <bestlife> how to block https from squid
[09:01] <lotuspsychje> !squid | bestlife
[09:02] <jamie_flatfish> even running something as simple as "ls (hd0)" returns unknown filesystem
[09:02] <Idiot> Alright, I did what was necessary. Time to reboot to see if it worked.
[09:03] <Idiot> Oh, and I did it with nano. Insult me please.
[09:03] <Fuchs> Why should?
[09:03] <lotuspsychje> jamie_flatfish: its best to mention you trying to boot the .iso from grub
[09:03] <Fuchs> nano is a decent editor if you just want to edit some files *shrug*
[09:05] <jamie_flatfish> lotuspsychje: sorry I forgot to mention that
[09:05] <MrButh> I want to monitor how much bandwidth my server is using per month/week/day, is there a plugin/ssh command to check that?
[09:06] <cfhowlett> !server | MrButh, might be best to ask the server channel for recommendations
[09:06] <lotuspsychje> jamie_flatfish: the more details you gather in repeating your question, the more luck you will get it solved in chat
[09:06] <Idiot> It worked! Thanks for helping.
[09:06] <Idiot> Oh, also, is it possible to reply to two people at once?
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> Idiot: just use tab with the 2 nicks in your line
[09:07] <jamie_flatfish> yes... sorry... in gonna try it with the main partition (hd0,msdos1)
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> !tab | Idiot
[09:07] <MrButh> cfhowlett, didn't I just ask the server channel for recommendations?
[09:07] <jamie_flatfish> that actually worked....
[09:07] <Fuchs> Idiot: you can include as many as you want, whether it will highlight them is up to their client, though
[09:07] <cfhowlett> MrButh, you asked #ubuntu .  #ubuntu-server = server
[09:08] <ikonia> MrButh: yes but it didn't make sense
[09:08] <ikonia> a plugin for what ?
[09:08] <MrButh> ah ok, sorry
[09:08] <jamie_flatfish> probably should have tried that off the bat...
[09:08] <MrButh> a plugin to monitor bandwidth per day, week and month
[09:08] <MrButh> on my server though, so I will ask in the server channel
[09:08] <MrButh> thanks though
[09:08] <ikonia> a plugin for what ?
[09:08] <ikonia> a plugin must plugin to something
[09:09] <ikonia> so a plugin for what
[09:13] <jamie_flatfish> lotuspsychjr: IT WORKED!!
[09:16] <jamie_flatfish> is there a way to restore personal files when reinstalling?
[09:16] <jamie_flatfish> I never made a seperate /home partition....
[09:16] <NegativeFlare> jamie_flatfish: other than a separate /home
[09:16] <cfhowlett> jamie_flatfish, making /home is easy ...
[09:16] <cfhowlett> !home | jamie_flatfish
[09:16] <cfhowlett> !backup | jamie_flatfish
[09:18] <jamie_flatfish> nevermine... all of that requires the old one to be bootable...
[09:20] <NegativeFlare> jamie_flatfish: you can always recover your files with a live CD
[09:20] <NegativeFlare> that is, if you haven't overwrote the parition
[09:20] <cfhowlett> jamie_flatfish,  I missed some details.  Do I understand that you cannot currently boot your system?
[09:20] <cfhowlett> better yet, please restate your issue.
[09:21] <ricard> I have one question I have canviado motherboard and it is not the same model I had and this has hdmi and I have to have the co vga pc connected really notice the difference?
[09:23] <ricard> I have one question I have changed the motherboard and it is not the same model I had and this has hdmi and I have to have the co vga pc connected really notice the difference?
[09:23] <cfhowlett> !patience | ricard
[09:25] <jamie_flatfish> cfhowlett: I just booted an ISO from grub because my old system got completely foobared to the point of no repair... was wondering if there was a way to recover any of that stuff?
[09:25] <cfhowlett> jamie_flatfish, possibly.  **IF** you did not format your /home.  boot from USB, mount your hdd, navigate to your /home.  if present, copy those files to external media!
[09:28] <jamie_flatfish> I can still do that, I still have access to (hd0,msdos1) partition which holds that
[09:28] <burnblade> hi guys, not sure if anyone can help. i am running linux lite 2.4 and ran all my updates and some of my video files will open when i double click on them but then some just wont open anything ?
[09:29] <cfhowlett> burnblade, sorry.  linuxlite is not ubuntu and is not supported here.
[09:29] <cfhowlett> !linuxlite | burnblade
[09:30] <burnblade> oh sorry guys. im new to linux . only installed today.
[09:30] <cfhowlett> burnblade, linuxlite should support you.  if not = consider your options.
[09:31] <burnblade> ok thank you. just watched a video pointing out a few apps to get and xchat was one. didnt realise this was only ubuntu
[09:31] <cfhowlett> burnblade, linuxlite help menu should point you to available resources.  best of luck.
[09:34] <jamie_flatfish> cfhowlett: in not booting from USB... in booting a USO in my HDD from the current grub
[09:34] <jamie_flatfish> *from an iso*
[09:35] <cfhowlett> jamie_flatfish, doesn't matter.  go to /home and copy your files to a different storage
[09:35] <jamie_flatfish> okay
[09:35] <cfhowlett> and props to you for booting .iso from grub!

[09:43] <NegativeFlare> darknote: Graphics Card issues
[09:44] <darknote> NegativeFlare: not quite sure , its intel graphics, works with windows perfectly
[09:44] <cfhowlett> darknote, did you install intel drivers?
[09:45] <mapat> русские есть?
[09:45] <cfhowlett> !ru | mapat
[09:45] <darknote> charlesdub: no, do i need to install it?  I don't know how to install  intel dirvers on ubuntu
[09:45] <cfhowlett> darknote, what ubuntu number?
[09:46] <darknote> cfhowlett: ubuntu number ? do you mean version?  its 14.04
[09:47] <darknote> cfhowlett: more info : its 32 bit processor with 2 gb ram
[09:47] <cfhowlett> darknote, right, version.  sadly, that's the one version of Intel Graphics Installer for Linux that intel rescinded support for.
[09:48] <cfhowlett> https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
[09:48] <Amoz> darknote, could you give the specific processor model?
[09:48] <Amoz> that sounds like an awfully old CPU
[09:51] <darknote> Amoz: how can I find the processor details on ubuntu? its dual core processor I know
[09:52] <NegativeFlare> darknote: lscpu is one way
[09:52] <NegativeFlare> Just remember to use a pastebin ;)
[09:52] <Amoz> darknote, I'm quite sure that's not an 32-bit CPU then
[09:53] <NegativeFlare> Amoz: unless its a Xeon xD
[09:53] <NegativeFlare> Which is highly unlikely.
[09:53] <darknote> Amoz: no, its 32bit processor
[09:53] <Amoz> NegativeFlare, aah, I didn't know. But I'm quite sure most (all?) desktop/consumer CPUs had 64bit before multicore.
[09:54] <NegativeFlare> Amoz: Mostly, unlike my server's Xeon CPU. Its a 32bit, with dualcore xD
[09:54] <Amoz> darknote, run this, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model
[09:54] <Amoz> and answer with *one line* the model name.
[09:55] <darknote> Amoz: model : 15
[09:55] <Amoz> darknote, the model name
[09:55] <darknote> Amoz: model name	: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual  CPU  E2200  @ 2.20GHz
[09:56] <Amoz> great, so that means there is no builtin graphics.
[09:56] <Amoz> unless I'm missing something here
[09:57] <k1l> darknote: see http://ark.intel.com/products/33925/Intel-Pentium-Processor-E2200-1M-Cache-2_20-GHz-800-MHz-FSB its 64bit cpu
[09:57] <darknote> Amoz: no, it has built in graphics... and I dont have any other graphics card
[09:57] <k1l> darknote: please show the output of "lspci" in a pastebin
[09:57] <k1l> !paste | darknote
[09:58] <darknote> k1l: okay
[09:59] <Amoz> darknote, there is no GPU in that CPU as far as I can see. In that case you have a small GPU on your motherboard.
[09:59] <Amoz> anyway, next step is to find out what renders the graphics
[09:59] <darknote> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12106720/
[09:59] <k1l> darknote: no, please show "lspci" in a pastebin
[09:59] <darknote> Amoz: okay , could you please give me the instructions?
[10:01] <darknote> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12106730/
[10:02] <Amoz> I'm not sure, but try installing xserver-xorg-video-intel ?
[10:03] <Amoz> darknote, could you give the output of the following in a pastebin as well?    glxinfo | grep render
[10:03] <darknote> Amoz: yeah sure
[10:05] <darknote> Amoz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12106758/
[10:10] <JelleS> how can i record a nautilus/mounted drive error? When i open the path to the drive, nautilus suddenly closes
[10:10] <k1l> JelleS: start nautilus from a terminal
[10:11] <Amoz> darknote, sorry, I don't really know then. Has it always been like this in ubuntu? or is it a regression? is it your first time ?
[10:13] <ricard> I changed my motherboard but which have no hdmi me and I have to have the pc vga is very big difference, here's a pastebin of xrandr command you, http: //pastebin.com/V2y5hgL
[10:13] <darknote> Amoz: no it was okay with older version of ubuntu. with 14.04 having this kind of problem, I think  its sort pf bug of unity 3d found some info after googling
[10:14] <linuxholic> Has anyone ever used VDPAU on vlc in ubuntu?
[10:14] <darknote> Amoz: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/05/intel-linux-graphics-driver-installer-1-0-5 should i install this?
[10:14] <Amoz> darknote, aha, because I *think* the "direct render: yes" means you have hw-acc and the driver loaded etc.
[10:14] <Amoz> darknote, maybe just to check, can you pastebin the output from "lsmod" ?
[10:15] <darknote> Amoz: okay
[10:15] <Amoz> darknote, that will list all modules/drivers that are loaded, showing if the needed driver is loaded or not
[10:15] <Amoz> I don't know the required driver for your chipset though :)
[10:15] <darknote> Amoz: okay let me check
[10:16] <ricard> I changed my motherboard but which have no hdmi me and I have to have the pc vga is very big difference, here's a pastebin of xrandr command you, http: //pastebin.com/V2y5hgL
[10:17] <Amoz> ricard, please don't post multiple times :)
[10:17] <darknote> Amoz: video                  20480  1 i915
[10:18] <darknote> Amoz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12106822/
[10:19] <Amoz> darknote, so the i915 module is loaded. I'm quite sure that means everything on the lower levels work fine.
[10:21] <angs> dmesg shows " This device cannot do calls on its own. It is not a modem." for a usb dongle.http://paste.ubuntu.com/12106835/  Is it an error, what does it mean?
[10:22] <linuxholic> Has anyone ever used VDPAU on vlc in ubuntu?
[10:22] <Amoz> darknote, and fyi, I believe a new intel graphics driver install will do no change, because the chipset is quite old, and you already have a working driver (it seems)
[10:23] <darknote> Amoz: yeah I think so, its sort of bug I guess but I dont know how to solve
[10:24] <Amoz> darknote, you mentioned a unity bug, do you have a link?
[10:24] <darknote> Amoz: I saw a few here is a one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1386721
[10:25] <Steven_M> Hi all, are bitcoin core and armory in ubuntu one of main repo's or do users have to get them from a 3rd party location?
[10:25] <linuxholic> Has anyone ever used VDPAU on vlc in ubuntu?
[10:26] <Amoz> darknote, did you try the suggestion in the comments?
[10:27] <Amoz> linuxholic, stop repeating your question, ask once and wait
[10:27] <darknote> Amoz: yeah I tried with comment number 95
[10:27] <darknote> Amoz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/450555/very-slow-graphics-performance-after-upgrade-12-04-14-04
[10:27] <darknote> Amoz: alomost  same problem I'm having
[10:30] <Amoz> darknote, basically, when those things happen, you have to just try all different "fixes" and see if one solves your problem :P
[10:31] <Amoz> darknote, so you can try all the boot parameters, e.g. "video=LVDS-1:d" as in your link, and check whether it fixes the problem or not. If it doesn't, remove the change and try something else.
[10:31] <Amoz> darknote, if I knew the problem I
[10:31] <Amoz> blah
[10:31] <Amoz> darknote, if I knew the problem I'd definitely respond with the correct fix as the first suggestion :)
[10:33] <Amoz> darknote, hmm have your ever used an external monitor to that computer?
[10:33] <darknote> Amoz: no
[10:34] <darknote> Amoz: so are you recommending adding a kernel parameter
[10:35] <Amoz> darknote, I just saw this, but it seems limited to high resolution / dual monitor setups, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1292467
[10:36] <Amoz> darknote, also, check #120 here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1386721
[10:36] <Amoz> darknote, another suggestion, Adding "options i915 modeset=0" to /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
[10:39] <darknote> Amoz: I saw almost all the bug , I've been trying to solve this for a week... even I just installed ubuntu yesterday
[10:39] <darknote> Amoz: now I'm confused
[10:40] <HewloThere> Hia. I've accidentally locked myself out of SSH on a dedi. I'm currently in rescue mode. This is the error PuTTY is giving me: http://i.hewlothere.me/tKvsU.png
[10:40] <k1l> HewloThere: how did you lock yourself out?
[10:40] <HewloThere> I was trying to jail SSH/SFTP users...
[10:41] <Amoz> darknote, you've tried to solve it for a week, and you installed ubuntu yesterday?
[10:41] <k1l> then revert the changes from recovery?
[10:41] <HewloThere> I can't, because they're not there.
[10:41] <HewloThere> The files I changed aren't in recovery.
[10:42] <darknote> Amoz: yeah after a week a guy just told me to add a ppa then my system crushed, I tried fix but had to install os again
[10:42] <k1l> HewloThere: best is to ask the support of that server hoster. they will know best about their recovery system and how to recover their servers
[10:42] <Amoz> darknote, oh.. next time, you maybe could try ppa-purge first. Unless you already did that
[10:43] <HewloThere> k1l: It's unmanaged, it's in my hands. :/
[10:43] <HewloThere> It's SoftLayer if it makes a difference.
[10:43] <darknote> Amoz: thats what I learn :)
[10:43] <Amoz> HewloThere, what *do* you get in the recovery environment then?
[10:44] <HewloThere> I boot in to rescue mode and connect, but I can't do normal tasks like that
[10:44] <HewloThere> It has important data on it I need.
[10:44] <k1l> HewloThere: so i bet softlayer got a support or customers forums?
[10:44] <Amoz> darknote, just to verify, this is an issue you've got since going from 12.04 -> 14.04, even when you do a fresh 14.04 reinstall?
[10:44] <HewloThere> They have support.
[10:45] <HewloThere> I'm unmanaged.
[10:46] <Amoz> HewloThere, what exactly is "rescue mode" if you can't do e.g. a SSH rescue fix?
[10:46] <k1l> HewloThere: the point is: some hosters have custom selfmade recoveries, so it differs what you can do or what steps you need to do on that exact recovery. so the "regular ubuntu way" may not work because of their special setup. so best is to ask them first
[10:46] <HewloThere> Well, okay.
[10:47] <darknote> Amoz , no I've been using  14.04 for a year , but recently couple of months earlier just after distro update I got the problem... I saw they improved some feature... but it needs high performance graphics
[10:47] <Amoz> HewloThere, maybe you can describe exactly what you changed before ?
[10:47] <k1l> its not about if it is managed by them. its a support issue when you want to recover a system. so see if they offer free support for that (or pay them if its that important) or see if there is a how to in their customer forums or such.
[10:48] <HewloThere> I followed these: http://allanfeid.com/content/creating-chroot-jail-ssh-access http://askubuntu.com/questions/93411/simple-easy-way-to-jail-users
[10:48] <k1l> HewloThere: most times you need to mount the server hdd first in the recovery.
[10:48] <HewloThere> Yea, I've done that
[10:49] <Amoz> HewloThere, and what do you see in the mounted directory? Does it look like a normal linux directory tree?
[10:50] <HewloThere> http://paste.hewlothere.me/ipuhalowiz.mel
[10:51] <HewloThere> If I can uninstall OpenSSH then install it, I'm fine, but apt-get doesn't work in recovery.
[10:51] <Amoz> HewloThere, maybe because you need to chroot to the real fs ?
[10:52] <HewloThere> Not sure what you mean?
[10:53] <Amoz> HewloThere, right now you're *outside* the normal directory tree, e.g. your $PATH does not contain your usual tools. If you do /<mntpoint>/usr/bin/apt-get , can you get apt-get to work then?
[10:54] <HewloThere> Err, not sure what the command to mount like that is. :/
[10:54] <Amoz> just try to run it with --help or something, see if it's reachable. And if it is, you can probably do a chroot /mntpoint
[10:54] <HewloThere> Would this be the right syntax? mount -rw -o remount /
[10:55] <Amoz> HewloThere, mountpoint is whatever directory you are in to be able to see the file system tree
[10:55] <Amoz> meh, nvm, it's probably not like that.
[10:56] <Amoz> HewloThere, are able to just show the mounts by running the "mount" command ?

[10:57] <diegoaguilar> ?
[10:57] <cgk24> diegoaguilar, yes you can wipe the partition table
[10:57] <cgk24> it will create new boot loade
[10:57] <cgk24> in install cd
[10:58] <buscon> my network is not that fast, so i'd like to put the packages on a local server and install them from that location
[10:58] <k1l> diegoaguilar: ah ok. just boot the usb or cd/dvd and choose "use all hdd" in the installer
[10:58] <buscon> how can I do that?
[10:58] <cgk24> just choose "format whole drive or similiar:
[11:01] <cgk24> thats a good q buscon
[11:01] <diegoaguilar> k1l:  the installer just told me that I should have a an EFI boot partition
[11:02] <diegoaguilar> being at least 35MB in size

[11:03] <diegoaguilar> what do u think cgk24 ?
[11:03] <cgk24> just wipe the drive totally it will remove it
[11:03] <cgk24> and you can install ubuntu with grub bootloader
[11:03] <diegoaguilar> cgk Im telling something distinct

[11:18] <Amoz> HewloThere, and I suppose yours wasn't. That probably means that *your* files and the filesystem is *not* mounted as of now. You have to find where your files are. What's "backstore" ?
[11:22] <Afdla> changing mouse sensitivity from options does nothing on 15.04
[11:22] <Afdla> acceleration works but sensitivity doesn't change anyhow
[11:22] <kennydude> Hi, I'm having an issue with an Ubuntu server. APT is reporting there is no space left on the drive yet there is plenty
[11:23] <vapeboy> heya,  if [[ ! "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "running" ]] doesn't seem to be checking if Apache is running or not
[11:23] <vapeboy> what am I doing wrong? :(
[11:23] <kennydude>  /var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin - open (28: No space left on device)
[11:23] <Ben64> vapeboy: explain what you're trying to do
[11:23] <vapeboy> Ben64: basically this http://cssjockey.com/how-to-create-a-cron-job-to-start-mysql-if-it-stops/, but for the apache2 process
[11:23] <Ben64> kennydude: pastebin the output of "df -h"
[11:24] <Ben64> vapeboy: ah, so you're trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist
[11:24] <vapeboy> what I'm trying to do is to check whether apache is running and if it doesn't, run something
[11:24] <kennydude> Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12107135/
[11:24] <vapeboy> Ben64: how do I check whether it's running
[11:25] <vapeboy> Ben64: if [[ ! "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "running" ]] doesn't seem to work
[11:25] <Ben64> vapeboy: just handle it manually. it won't just stop running randomly
[11:25] <YK> Need help - Installing Ubuntu 15.04 inside Windows 7 ! It says "Restart to continue" and then comes back to boot menu.
[11:25] <badr> slt
[11:26] <vapeboy> Ben64: can you please help me to handle it automatically?
[11:26] <vapeboy> what's wrong with if [[ ! "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "running" ]]
[11:26] <Ben64> vapeboy: no, theres no good reason for that
[11:27] <Ben64> kennydude: try "sudo touch /root/testfile"
[11:27] <YK> Can someone pls. help me with Ubuntu installation?
[11:27] <k1l> YK: "inside"? do you mean wubi install?
[11:27] <vapeboy> Ben64: can you please make an abstraction?
[11:28] <YK> I kinda want the same ...wubi install but internet articles say .. wubi is no longer supported
[11:28] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:28] <k1l> YK: wubi is dead. dont use that.
[11:28] <YK> I made a bootable USB
[11:28] <YK> and then from there I ran the installation program
[11:28] <ac3takwas_> hello
[11:28] <k1l> YK: if you want to test ubuntu run it from a usb drive or dvd. if you want to install it install it into real partitions
[11:29] <ac3takwas_> I need to set a default terminal
[11:29] <ac3takwas_> I've tried a few tips I got from the internet
[11:29] <YK> okay k1l. Thanks for that tip.
[11:29] <ac3takwas_> But the problem  isn't solved
[11:30] <ac3takwas_> how do I do this
[11:30] <YK> But I need to use a single virtual file as a partition without changing anything in the disks.
[11:30] <ac3takwas_> ?
[11:30] <YK> Just like Wubi was doing it.
[11:30] <YK> is there a way out?
[11:30] <vapeboy> can anyone please help me?
[11:30] <bazhang> vbox it yk
[11:30] <vapeboy> what is wrong with [[ ! "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "running" ]]
[11:30] <k1l> YK: wubi is dead. it made too much issues with ubuntu and windows. dont use that anymore.
[11:31] <cfhowlett> !vbox | YK
[11:31] <kennydude> Ben64: Nothing happened when that command was ran
[11:32] <ac3takwas_> does anyone know how to set default terminal in unity?
[11:32] <YK> Thanks all.
[11:33] <Ben64> kennydude: well it should have made a file in /root
[11:33] <Ben64> kennydude: and if it did, then the drive can be written to.. so you got something else going on
[11:33] <Amoz> vapeboy, what exactly do you want to do?
[11:34] <vapeboy> Amoz: check if apache is running or not
[11:34] <YK> Virtual box itself will consume system resources and I may not be getting same performance. I my hp notebook has only 2 GB RAM and with a Windows 10 host... it will be at pure mercy of flawed Windows system
[11:34] <Ben64> vapeboy: don't worry about it, it doesn't stop running on its own...
[11:34] <vapeboy> it does
[11:34] <Ben64> it really doesn't
[11:34] <YK> Is there any better alternate?
[11:35] <kennydude> Ben64: written fine; no idea :/
[11:35] <vapeboy> Ben64: it is not the issue here, if it does or it doesn't
[11:35] <cfhowlett> YK, vbox + lubuntu is much lighter.
[11:35] <vapeboy> I just want to check if it's running or not
[11:35] <Amoz> vapeboy, depending on the context, that should work
[11:35] <Amoz> vapeboy, do you run it in a script?
[11:35] <Ben64> vapeboy: it is the issue, theres no point in making this script run all the time to check and restart it
[11:36] <vapeboy> Amoz, yes and it looks like this: http://pastie.org/private/pzu5ybzrucqdgvoruicuw
[11:36] <Ben64> if apache is crashing, fix that problem, don't make some silly script to restart it
[11:36] <HewloThere> Sorry for the long reply Amoz. I'm not sure what you mean?
[11:37] <pmted> I have compiled a new kernel and installed all of the .deb-files. When I reboot the computer uses the old kernel. Furthermore, the new kernel files does not show up in /boot. What do?
[11:37] <Amoz> vapeboy, and what happens when you run it, and what do you expect to happen?
[11:38] <vapeboy> Amoz: so I've created to shell scripts, one for mysql - http://cssjockey.com/how-to-create-a-cron-job-to-start-mysql-if-it-stops/
[11:38] <vapeboy> which happens to work
[11:38] <vapeboy> and a similar one for apache, which doesn't work
[11:38] <vapeboy> and it looks to me like the issue is this line: [[ ! "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "running" ]]
[11:38] <Amoz> vapeboy, although I really have to side with Ben64 on this one. You should solve the actual problem.
[11:39] <Ben64> vapeboy: here just run this if you want to be silly. "while [ 0 ]; do service apache2 start; done;"
[11:39] <Amoz> vapeboy, again, what happens when you run your script?
[11:39] <vapeboy> Amoz: apache doesn't start
[11:40] <Amoz> vapeboy, can it start when you run only the command without a script?
[11:41] <vapeboy> Amoz: yes, it does start when I sudo service apache2 start
[11:42] <Amoz> vapeboy, so then the problem is in the script. Put some echos in different places in the script, (e.g. one inside the if-case, and one in the beginning of the script)
[11:42] <Amoz> what happens then? Do you see the echoed text when you run the script?
[11:42] <pmted> I could really use some help on how to boot into my newly created kernel. I'm using EFI, so I am not sure where to change for it to boot into it.
[11:44] <vapeboy> Amoz: yes, I've identified that "if [[ ! "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "running" ]]" does not serve its purpose
[11:45] <ac3takwas_> Can anyone help please?
[11:45] <Ben64> vapeboy: so apache on my server has been running for 354 days, you don't need a script
[11:45] <ac3takwas_> I need to run a CLI-base program e.g Ipython; but it launches with a different terminal from the one Intend it to launch with?
[11:45] <Amoz> ac3takwas_, this was the first hit on google, http://askubuntu.com/questions/70540/how-can-i-set-default-terminal-used-in-unity
[11:46] <ac3takwas_> Amoz, thanks but that doesn't quite help
[11:46] <ac3takwas_> I've been to that link before
[11:47] <Fuchs> ac3takwas_: as in: the wrong graphical terminal launches? If yes: how exactly are you running the CLI based program?
[11:47] <fjx> hi
[11:47] <fjx> are you form
[11:47] <fjx> ?
[11:47] <ac3takwas_> The thing is Each time I run the program, it launches with gnome-terminal despite having set terminator as default
[11:47] <vapeboy> /usr/sbin/service apache2 status returns Apache2 is running (pid 14678).
[11:47] <vapeboy> Amoz: the check looks alright.
[11:47] <cfhowlett> fjx, this is u.buntu support.  ask your support question
[11:47] <sorbolene> anyone familiar here with upstart that can help get my script going?
[11:48] <sorbolene> im getting an error with....
[11:48] <ac3takwas_> Then I uninstalled gnome-terminal
[11:48] <ac3takwas_> And then it began launching xterm
[11:48] <vapeboy> Amoz: is it "=~" perhaps?
[11:48] <sorbolene> setgid / setuid doesn't work
[11:48] <ac3takwas_> Again I uninstalled xterm, then it doesn't run at all
[11:48] <Amoz> vapeboy, works for me
[11:49] <vapeboy> Amoz: hm
[11:49] <Ben64> vapeboy: really, fix the problem instead of putting duct tape over it
[11:49] <Amoz> ac3takwas_, how do you start Ipython? You can just open a terminal of your choice and run "ipython" no?
[11:49] <ioria> vapeboy, for me is working... but would be better understand the deep cause
[11:49] <vapeboy> the whole "check if up, start if it isn't
[11:49] <vapeboy> " thing, Amoz?
[11:49] <ac3takwas_> I'd expect it to run since terminator is the only option of a terminal left for it to run with, but "no"
[11:49] <ac3takwas_> Amoz, yeah I know that
[11:50] <ac3takwas_> I'm only trying to guard against other programs that might be faced with the same issue
[11:50] <Amoz> vapeboy, http://pastebin.ca/3110389
[11:50] <Amoz> ac3takwas_, do you start ipython from a graphical menu somewhere?
[11:51] <Amoz> vapeboy, just make sure your shell is bash
[11:51] <ac3takwas_> Yes
[11:51] <Amoz> ac3takwas_, then it's probably hardcoded in the command for the launcher icon
[11:51] <ioria> vapeboy,if you post the script (i know, it 's on the website) maybe we spot an error
[11:52] <fjx> icon' t see
[11:52] <ac3takwas_> Okay, that's may be true
[11:52] <ac3takwas_> And anyway I might be able to edit that?
[11:52] <Ben64> the error is the script, its not necessary and can hide problems. instead of finding out why apache is crashing you just start it again, who cares right
[11:53] <fjx> I form china
[11:53] <cfhowlett> !cn | fjx
[11:54] <vapeboy> Amoz: "just make sure your shell is bash" <- how do I do it?
[11:54] <Amoz> vapeboy, put #!/bin/bash in the beginning of the script
[11:54] <ioria> vapeboy,   #!/bin/bash
[11:54] <vapeboy> Amoz: also, this always gives me doesnt, both when apache is down and up: http://pastie.org/private/ohpuvd9ohurvwhuq9bh1fg
[11:55] <Amoz> vapeboy, but again, look at the logs for apache. You really have something weird going on here if it randomly crashes. So you aren't solving this in a good way
[11:55] <ioria> vapeboy,      forgot this #!/bin/bash
[11:55] <anlashok> hello, what's new with ubuntu
[11:55] <Ben64> vapeboy: seriously, why are you not fixing the actual problem
[11:55] <fjx> i don't now
[11:56] <ac3takwas_> Amoz, thanks for your help
[11:57] <Amoz> vapeboy, remove the "!" in front
[11:57] <ac3takwas_> Guys, how can I restrict internet usage by certain apps on Ubuntu?
[11:58] <Amoz> vapeboy, lol
[11:58] <ioria> yep
[11:58] <Amoz> vapeboy, nvm, the reason for this is that you're checking something that doesn't change a state I believe
[11:59] <Ben64> Amoz: nope
[11:59] <ioria> no, true
[11:59] <Ben64> oh for returning both
[11:59] <Amoz> vapeboy, service status ALWAYS outputs the substring "running"
[12:00] <Amoz> either "is not running", or "is running"
[12:00] <Amoz> you have to check for the substring "not running" to actually see a difference between the two.
[12:00] <sorbolene> Amoz: you doing upstart troubleshooting here?
[12:00] <Amoz> sorbolene, no
[12:00] <Ben64> OR, actually fix the problem instead of making this script at all!
[12:00] <vapeboy> Amoz: hmmmmm, interesting
[12:00] <Ben64> we don't need any more vulnerable servers to become mail relays
[12:01] <vapeboy> Amoz: so if [[ "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "not running" ]]
[12:01] <Amoz> vapeboy, try it
[12:01] <Amoz> and come back if you still have problems
[12:01] <Ben42> vapeboy: really, why not fix the problem of apache crashing?
[12:02] <vapeboy> /usr/sbin/service apache2 status ——> Apache2 is NOT running.
[12:02] <vapeboy> Amoz: stil ldoesn't work
[12:03] <Amoz> vapeboy, works here
[12:03] <vapeboy> Amoz: if [[ "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "not running" ]]
[12:03] <vapeboy> ?
[12:03] <Amoz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12107331/
[12:03] <Amoz> va
[12:03] <Amoz> vapeboy, ^
[12:04] <sparky> hello guys
[12:04] <Amoz> although, change lighttpd to apache ofc
[12:05] <bobbyphoton> vapeboy: why not fix the actual problem of apache crashing?
[12:05] <Amoz> vapeboy, exactly how do you determine that "it doesn't work" ?
[12:05] <vapeboy> Amoz: hm, it always gives me the "else" option, both when apache is down and up
[12:05] <Amoz> vapeboy, post your script
[12:06] <vapeboy> Amoz: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=75J0txxG
[12:07] <Timster> Hey, guys - is it possible to create an user on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS that only has SFTP access to his home directory, no SSH access?
[12:07] <Amoz> vapeboy, works here
[12:07] <bobbyphoton> vapeboy: you're spending a whooole lot of time on this script when you should be fixing apache
[12:07] <vapeboy> i leave apache up, I do ~/apachefix.sh it gives me "running". I stop the apache, run ~/apachefix.sh it gives me "running" again
[12:08] <vapeboy> Amoz: you were testing lighttpd
[12:08] <Amoz> vapeboy, indeed
[12:08] <vapeboy> Amoz: can you try apache2 instead?
[12:08] <Amoz> no
[12:08] <Volis> Hi, I'm trying to fix a computer. It connects to the wifi but there is no internet. I'm not sure what the problem is. Here's what the output is with ifconfig, route and ping: http://pastie.org/10356502
[12:09] <Ben64> vapeboy: it works on apache, maybe you just need to FIX APACHE
[12:09] <Amoz> vapeboy, just check the output from service status, is that the same when you manually stop and start it?
[12:09] <vapeboy> Ben64: have you got OCD or something? you've written the same damn thing like a million times now
[12:09] <Amoz> vapeboy, or better yet, show me exactly the two different outputs from service status when apache is "stopped" and "started".
[12:09] <sorbolene> amoz: if you have time, are you able to assist? in my upstart log, i keep getting "setuid: not found" - http://pastebin.com/9BTXT3ij
[12:10] <Ben64> vapeboy: because it is IMPORTANT, you should not be running a server if you don't care to fix problems, and want a script to ignore the problem for you. thats how you will get your server hacked and rooted and exploited. i'm trying to help you and you're just ignoring everything
[12:10] <vapeboy> Amoz: /usr/sbin/service apache2 status -> Apache2 is running (pid 16015).
[12:11] <clays> hello
[12:11] <Volis> It's my friend's laptop and he asked someone to fix the lan so he probably played around with a couple of fixes and messed up.
[12:11] <clays> who can help mi whit use secound disk in virt manager?
[12:11] <vapeboy> Amoz: /usr/sbin/service apache2 status -> Apache2 is NOT running.
[12:11] <Amoz> vapeboy, it's case sensitive
[12:12] <Amoz> vapeboy, you can't put "not running" if the actual string you're checking for is "NOT running"
[12:12] <Ben64> vapeboy: i give up, come back when your server gets hacked, have a good night
[12:12] <Volis> Is there something like restore in Ubuntu? I've tried resetting the network manager with the `sudo service network-manager restart` but that didn't help.
[12:12] <vapeboy> Amoz: let me try that
[12:12] <winsux> does anyone have problems with m4a playback in vlc 2.2.1 on ubuntu 14.04? i can't seek in vlc and the total length in seconds is just wrong (i.e. times 2)
[12:12] <clays> who can help mi with use secound disk in virt manager?
[12:13] <cfhowlett> Volis, restore?  not so much.  reconfigure?  absolutely
[12:13] <vapeboy> Amoz: you are right, it is case sensitive
[12:13] <vapeboy> that solved it, tyvm <3
[12:13] <vapeboy> Ben64: I will fix my apache, I'm just setting up parachutes
[12:14] <Ben64> thats setting yourself up for ignorance
[12:14] <sorbolene> Ben64 / Amoz : able to offer some tips for my scenario, posted above
[12:14] <clays> anybody will help me ?
[12:15] <Ben64> sorbolene: install setuid
[12:15] <sorbolene> Ben64: i thought it came built with init?
[12:15] <Ben64> nope
[12:15] <cfhowlett> !ask | clay
[12:15] <sorbolene> gosh damn
[12:15] <Volis> cfhowlett: Looking from the command history, it looks like this guy checked things with nmcli, saw resolv.conf, added something with route add -net, probably edited /etc/network/interfaces
[12:15] <Volis> That's it.
[12:16] <sorbolene> Ben64: which package is it?
[12:16] <Ben64> sorbolene: type "setuid" in terminal to find out
[12:16] <cfhowlett> Volis, yow.  wow.  completely over my head.  I've done the *very* occasional dpkg --reconfigure foo.deb - not sure that's helpful here
[12:17] <sorbolene> bloody genius Ben64
[12:17] <Volis> cfhowlett: :(
[12:17] <Amoz> Volis, so you have an IP on the if ?
[12:18] <TJ-> Volis: that pastebin tells us: 1. there are 2 Ethernet interfaces, both configured and presumably connected.  2. they are both on the same sub-net (<IP_ADDRESS>/24) 3. Both are configured as a default route. 4. for routing, eth0 has preference (metric is lowest). 5. "unknown host" means DNS resolution is failing
[12:19] <Volis> Amoz: I'm not sure what you mean but the ip address is <IP_ADDRESS> http://pastie.org/10356502
[12:20] <Amoz> Volis, sounds like TJ knows more here :P
[12:20] <TJ-> Volis:  "nmcli device" will tell you what interfaces Network Manager" is managing/are connected
[12:20] <Volis> TJ-: oh, okay I need to reset the preference then? There isn't any LAN cable connected.
[12:20] <Volis> ok
[12:20] <TJ-> Volis: "ls -l /etc/reoslv.conf" should show that is a symlink "/etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf"
[12:21] <TJ-> Volis: "/etc/network/interfaces" should, at most, only have entries for "iface lo" if NM is expected to automatically manage the network
[12:21] <TJ-> Volis: typo, grr! "ls -l /etc/resolv.conf" should show that is a symlink "/etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf"
[12:21] <sorbolene> Ben64: i got further.."use : setuid uid|username comand ..."
[12:22] <Volis> TJ-: Yes, there is symlink. And, only wlan0 is in 'connected' state. Rest eth0 and lo are in unmanaged state. I've never heard about 'lo' before, it's of type 'loopback'
[12:22] <TJ-> Volis: the contents of "/etc/resolv.conf" should usually be only "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" (plus # comments).
[12:22] <TJ-> Volis: "lo" is the kernel's internal loopback interface, it always exists
[12:23] <TJ-> Volis: The way DNS resolution works is this: Network Manager runs its own private instance of 'dnsmasq' a caching DNS resolver, which listens for local connections on <IP_ADDRESS> (the address in resolv.conf)
[12:23] <bencc> how can I find which packages also install http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/fonts/fonts-crosextra-carlito?
[12:24] <Volis> TJ-: Here's what's in /etc/network/interfaces http://pastie.org/10356522
[12:24] <TJ-> Volis: When Network Manager supervises a new connection, and that connection is set to use DHCP, it launches /sbin/dhclient which gets the DHCP lease, the upstream DNS servers, and anything else the DHCP server hands out. NM then passes the nameserver entries to its private instance of dnsmasq
[12:25] <Volis> oh
[12:26] <TJ-> Volis: OK ... remove everything but the first 2 lines... you don't want anything for eth0 in there, else NM will ignore the eth0 interface and its settings can conflict. Do this first: "sudo ifdown eth0" then edit "/etc/network/interfaces" and just leave the entries for "lo"
[12:26] <Volis> Okay, captain!
[12:27] <winsux> my vlc 2.2.1 wont play m4a and some mp4 files anymore. does anyone have had the same problem and know if this can be fixed?
[12:27] <TJ-> Volis: after editing 'interfaces' restart NM: "sudo service network-manager restart"
[12:27] <winsux> a reinstall didn't fix the problem. removing h265 support did not work either
[12:28] <TJ-> Volis: now "nmcli device" should show eth0 as 'unavailable' or 'disconnected'
[12:28] <BBLLCC> > /ignore nick all doesnt seem to work for me
[12:28] <BBLLCC> can anyone help me?
[12:29] <Volis> TJ-: YAY. It works! Thanks :)
[12:29] <TJ-> Volis: great
[12:30] <TJ-> Volis make sure both wlan0 and eth0 work independently by disconnecting one then the other and reconnecting
[12:30] <Volis> TJ-: I'm on my way to become communications engineer. Which books should I sworn by to become a master like you?
[12:30] <winsux> how do you list packages installed by a particular ppa?
[12:31] <TJ-> Volis: none. Hack with systems and read the man-pages, read the source-code, and set up complex scenarios and break them ... then figure out how to fix them
[12:31] <Volis> Sure thing!
[12:31] <Amoz> Volis, what's a "communications engineer" ? It's quite important that you know all the basics for networking. E.g. layers, routing, protocols etc. Hard to give specific advice.
[12:31] <TJ-> Volis: the beauty of open-source is... it's open to you, it is up to you to dig in.. you can dig right down to the hardware if you really want to and no one will stop you
[12:32] <Amoz> Volis, although, linux troubleshooting is more of man-pages and know the tools, as TJ wrote.
[12:32] <Volis> Amoz: The major is actually Electronics and Communications Engineering.
[12:33] <docmur> I have tftpd-hpa running as a PXE server.  Until until last night it was fine, then for no reason at all it just stopped working, I've rebooted the server and now when I try to start it I get [....] Starting HPA's tftpd: in.tftpd#  and then run I check the status: [FAIL] in.tftpd is not running ... failed!  Nothing I do seems to bring this tftpd up anymore.
[12:33] <Volis> I'm hoping to start contributing to some projects and then apply for Google Summer of Code next year.
[12:33] <Amoz> Volis, sounds like you study a lot of networks then, no?
[12:33] <TJ-> Volis: use virtual machine networks on your own PC to experiment with scenarios you don't have the hardware for. Look at software network simulation tools too
[12:33] <ac3takwas_> Hello, how do I stop username from displaying in terminal
[12:34] <ac3takwas_> I only need the dollar sign
[12:34] <Amoz> ac3takwas_, edit your PS1 environment variable
[12:34] <Volis> Amoz: I've just started. I don't see a Network course till the 4th year though. It's weird.
[12:34] <temo1997> hi i have some problem... i need root ,but root user passwd is incorrect
[12:34] <TJ-> Volis: there's several simulators out there, see this list http://www.brianlinkletter.com/open-source-network-simulators/
[12:34] <winsux> ac3takwas, something like PS1="$ "
[12:34] <Amoz> Volis, oh... I'm in a generic MoS of IT, and we studied a computer networks course in 3rd year.
[12:35] <TJ-> Volis: For your purposes I recommend Marionnet
[12:35] <Amoz> temo1997, ubuntu doesn't have a root passwd by default. You should use sudo
[12:35] <Volis> Thanks, TJ- I'll check them out! :)
[12:35] <Amoz> Volis, uh, the correct term is M.Sc , not MoS :P
[12:36] <temo1997> yes i already try it with sudo passwd but nothing it`s can`t open
[12:36] <Volis> Heh, I'd already google'd that out of amazement.
[12:36] <ac3takwas_> Amoz, Volis, sorry to bother you, but how do I do that?
[12:37] <temo1997> in user`s i cant show root but sudo -sH is root
[12:37] <Amoz> ac3takwas_, you'll have to set it in e.g. bashrc
[12:37] <Volis> ac3takwas_: Why do you want that though?
[12:37] <GALAXY_> Hello
[12:37] <temo1997> hi
[12:38] <ac3takwas_> Amoz, thanks
[12:38] <ac3takwas_> Volis, I find it generally needless
[12:38] <GALAXY_> how can i chat through terminal
[12:38] <cfhowlett> !irc | GALAXY_
[12:39] <Volis> GALAXY_: Check out terminal based IRC applications? irssi comes to mind.
[12:40] <Volis> ac3takwas_: echo 'export PS1="\W \$"' >> ~/.bash_profile
[12:40] <TJ-> ac3takwas_: see "man bash" or for a quick overview do "man bash | egrep -A10  'PS1|^PROMPTING' "
[12:41] <ac3takwas_> Volis, edited the bashrc file instead. It worked. Thanks

[13:26] <Legend> hello every one
[13:39] <sohail-ahmed> The fonts of some application in my computer are messed up and have turned into some Korean language. This applications are all libreoffice, calibre, .. . For example in libreoffice writer I can write in english and even see that english but the menus and tool bar items are all in the korean and when I open some dialog box its again in the same korean. Many other apps are working perfrectly. Any solutions??
[13:41] <cumaxo> hello ... Ive just installed Plank dock , but when I restart my computer , the dock dissapear...
[13:41] <Jackevansevo> cumaxo: have you added it to your startup applications?
[13:41] <cumaxo> hmm I dont think so...
[13:41] <Jackevansevo> sohail-ahmed: just the problem persist after a reboot?
[13:42] <Jackevansevo> cumaxo: Try adding it to your startup applications list
[13:42] <cumaxo> do you know the command for add it?
[13:42] <sohail-ahmed> Jackevansevo: Thanks for repsonding, yes the problem remain there after reboot
[13:42] <Jackevansevo> cumaxo: http://askubuntu.com/questions/48321/how-do-i-start-applications-automatically-on-login
[13:42] <Jackevansevo> cumaxo: follow those instructions
[13:43] <Technobliterator> anyone know how to check hard drive space?
[13:43] <Jackevansevo> sohail-ahmed: what languages are listed when you open gnome-language-selector
[13:44] <cumaxo> hmmm the problem for me is I dont know the order for launch Plank
[13:44] <Jackevansevo> Technobliterator: df -H
[13:44] <Jackevansevo> Technobliterator: In your terminal should show usage and remaining space for each disk partition
[13:45] <Jackevansevo> cumaxo: it can go anywhere in the starupapplications menu, the command will just be "plank"
[13:45] <cumaxo> ok
[13:45] <Technobliterator> right...Okay, it's telling me there's tons of HDD space left in a few partitions, but then when I try to install a game on Steam, it just gives me "you do not have enough hard drive space" still...?_?
[13:45] <sohail-ahmed> Jackevansevo: english(US), autralia, canada, uk
[13:45] <Fuchs> Technobliterator: well, the space has to be where steam wants to put it.  df -h   might help
[13:45] <cfhowlett> Technobliterator, steam is hungry.  if the partition is to small ..
[13:46] <Technobliterator> okay, how do I assign it more space?
[13:46] <Jackevansevo> sohail-ahmed: I'm unsure what the problem could be then :/
[13:47] <cfhowlett> Technobliterator, do this: df -h | nc termbin.com 9999           and show the url here
[13:47] <mcphail> Technobliterator: you need to go in to the steam settings and create a new library on one of your emptier partitions
[13:48] <Technobliterator> http://termbin.com/9kao
[13:48] <sohail-ahmed> Jackevansevo: Does it not help that only some of applications are affected by this problem. I researched it and have found that some apps use qt-fonts and I think calibre and libreoffice use it. Therefore I have the problem with all the app using qt-fonts.
[13:48] <cumaxo> ACPI PCC failed ? this appear in blackscreen when i start my pc
[13:49] <TJ-> cumaxo: that is a warning message that you can safely ignore. Later kernel's have patched that warning out
[13:49] <cumaxo> ok TJ , thank u so much
[13:50] <cumaxo> another question . I have installed nvidia drivers and Intell drivers from the drivers manager in Linux , how coul I check if all the graphics cards are running properly?
[13:51] <Jackevansevo> sohail-ahmed: maybe try the instructions at the bottom of this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2140957
[13:51] <cfhowlett> cumaxo, phoronix test suite for the deep level testing.  glxgears for simpler testing
[13:51] <BluesKaj> cumaxo:  Optimus?
[13:51] <Technobliterator> is there a way to create my library on /dev/sda2?
[13:51] <cumaxo> yes
[13:51] <cumaxo> but I dont know if optimus is running here...
[13:51] <cfhowlett> Technobliterator, before you do that: sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:52] <cumaxo> I have no idea how to install and configure bumblebee...and if this can turn in blankscreen later...
[13:52] <Technobliterator> http://termbin.com/iqnw
[13:52] <Technobliterator> is result
[13:52] <BluesKaj> !optimus | cumaxo
[13:52] <cumaxo> i know... but how to configure?
[13:53] <cumaxo> and I dont know if the Intel graphics drivers are the proper drivers ...
[13:53] <BluesKaj> cumaxo:  but not sure if bumblebee is even supported anymore
[13:53] <BluesKaj> cumaxo:  nvidia-prime driver I believe
[13:54] <cumaxo> nvidia-prime driver for what?
[13:54] <cfhowlett> Technobliterator, steam should not be reporting problems when you have such a huge amount of space. try it from the command line and note errors: sudo apt-get install steam
[13:55] <Technobliterator> alright, I've done that
[13:56] <Technobliterator> (though I already had steam installed, it went fine)
[13:56] <sohail-ahmed> Jackevansevo: my locales are already as they should be. all in en_US.UTF-8
[13:56] <Technobliterator> no errors
[13:56] <cfhowlett> Technobliterator, wait, what?  you said it reported not enough memory!
[13:56] <cfhowlett> ?
[13:56] <Technobliterator> to install one of the games
[13:57] <Technobliterator> in the Steam library
[13:57] <Dorfen> Hi guys! So ubuntu just threw the connection to my 3rd monitor. Every time i try to go ubuntu after a month or so this happens. How do i fix?
[13:57] <cfhowlett> Technobliterator, ah, so it's a STEAM issue then, not ubuntu.  ask steam what's up with that.
[13:57] <Technobliterator> alright, thanks
[13:57] <Technobliterator> although, confusingly enough
[13:57] <cfhowlett> true :)
[13:57] <BluesKaj> cumaxo:  this might help http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus/
[13:57] <Technobliterator> I restarted and it's now working ?__?
[13:57] <Technobliterator> anyway, thanks for the help all the same
[13:58] <cfhowlett> !home | Technobliterator suggestion: create a dedicated /home.  otherwise, on reinstall, all your goodies go bye bye.
[13:59] <boriseto> does anybody else has problems when trying to buy software from Ubuntu Software Center? It gets stuck at: Processing your request for "***"...  Information received
[14:00] <Technobliterator> alright, what does this do?
[14:01] <annbow> ... or mv the steam directory from your home to a different partition, then add the mount point to fstab
[14:02] <cfhowlett> Technobliterator, when you install ubuntu, the partition usually gets formatted.  your /home is IN your ubuntu partition.  thus >>> formatted >>> gone.  a dedicated partition remains in place during a reinstall.  just a suggestion.
[14:02] <Technobliterator> ahh, right
[14:03] <Technobliterator> Okay, I'll bear that in mind, thanks
[14:06] <Yashka> Hey
[14:06] <Dorfen> Could some xrandr magician spare me some minutes guidance?
[14:08] <zykotick9> Dorfen: fyi, arandr is a GUI xrandr frontend, that has a "Save" to script option... i find it handy.  best of luck.
[14:09] <Dorfen> Think this might be more tricky, as arandr doesn't save correctly.
[14:13]  * zykotick9 would ask what "doesn't save correctly" means... BUT he's walking out the door... good luck
[14:15] <OneM_Industries> So, Ubuntu 14.04LTS is going to be supported for quite a while, yeah?
[14:16] <benjwadams> per the conventions in `man hier`, where ought I deploy my programs on production?  I've seen wildly varying
[14:16] <OerHeks> that is why it is called LTS
[14:16] <benjwadams> conventions and the only common factor is that programs seem to be deployed in different places on different boxes
[14:17] <benjwadams> sometimes /home/, sometimes a separate dir off root, sometimes /opt/, sometimes /var, `man hier` seems to suggest /usr/local and my head wants to explode
[14:18] <OneM_Industries> Thank you, wanted to put something on this laptop that would be supported for a long time that was NOT windows.
[14:19] <pancakes9> Hey how do I wget or curl a link like https://pm.puppetlabs.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi? which gives me a small file instead of the the 100MB install file?
[14:19] <varaindemian> how do I know if my ssd supports trim?
[14:19] <Rudde> So I manged to configure L2TP/IpSec server on my ubuntu box, but I get really bad speeds I have 100/20 Mbit and get something like 1.5/5 Mbit, and via sockets proxy to the same server I get 100/15 mbit
[14:20] <varaindemian> I have this ssd https://www.wave.com/mz7ln256hchp-000l7
[14:20] <Rudde> CPU load is on 2% under l2tp load
[14:20] <varaindemian> on a Thinkpad T450
[14:22] <OerHeks> varaindemian, sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdX | grep "TRIM supported" # where X is sda/sdb/sdc etc
[14:23] <varaindemian> OerHeks: thx.  do you use it?
[14:23] <OerHeks> varaindemian, , trim is automatic enabled , but you can run manually: sudo fstrim -v /
[14:24] <OerHeks> that can take a while on a 512 gb ssd :-D
[14:25] <varaindemian> OerHeks: sudo: hdparm: command not found
[14:25] <OerHeks> varaindemian, so you are not running ubuntu ?
[14:25] <varaindemian> debian...
[14:26] <OerHeks> oh, ask in #debian what to do about hdparm
[14:26] <OerHeks> Ubuntu has got it installed default
[14:39] <OneM_Industries> I am trying to create a boot USB, and the startup disk creator cannot see my USB stick.
[14:43] <LambdaComplex> OneM_Industries: Does it show up in lsusb and lsblk?
[14:44] <OneM_Industries> Yes, I can mount it.
[14:45] <OneM_Industries> And it shows up in lsblk and lsusb
[14:45] <OerHeks> format that usb as fat32 and you are fine
[14:49] <OneM_Industries> Now, let's see if this lenovo can handle ubuntu...
[14:51] <Guest62995> hiewwwwww
[15:01] <ioria> Ben64 : are you there ?
[15:20] <loa> can somebody explain me how can i check why package is kept back
[15:20] <loa> if there some kind of command?
[15:27] <Seveas> loa: apt-get upgrade
[15:32] <aterax> ))
[15:33] <loa> Seveas, ... i am talking about packages which are kept back by this command
[15:34] <s37> t
[15:35] <ioria> loa do you want to install them ?
[15:36] <loa> iooner, i want ivestigate...
[15:36] <loa> iooner, investigate.
[15:36] <prince>  /msg NickServ identify spiderman
[15:38] <ioria> loa "If the dependencies have changed on one of the packages you have installed so that a new package must be installed to perform the upgrade then that will be listed as "kept-back".
[15:38] <Pici> loa: it may be fixed by doing an apt-get dist-upgrade.
[15:38] <Pici> !dist-upgrade | obligitory
[15:39] <ioria> yes, but maybe he wants to upgrade just one package
[15:39] <Pici> perhaps
[15:39] <loa> Pici, is there any way of debug or tree view?
[15:39] <loa> i can't understand what happened
[15:39] <loa> i will show you output wait
[15:40] <loa> Pici, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25725476/screenshot-2015.08.17-18%3A40%3A24.png
[15:40] <loa> ignore that linux-kernel related packages
[15:42] <k1l_> loa: the kernel packages are "new installs" in reality, since its the metapackage which will need the new packages to be installed. so it needs the "apt-get dist-upgrade" command
[15:42] <loa> k1l_, kenel packages are no hold by me ignore them.
[15:42] <loa> k1l_, i am talking about that drm stuff
[15:43] <k1l_> could be other new depencies by that drm stuff
[15:44] <loa> so i understand now...
[15:44] <loa> i need just do dist-upgrade
[15:45] <k1l_> yes. that is a very confusing way of naming and function but its due to the very old days when apt-get was made. today we use apt-get differently in that context on ubuntu. for the versionupgrades to 15.04 etc we use "do-release-upgrade" and not apt-get.
[15:46] <k1l_> you can use the newer "apt" to have less confusion. "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade"
[15:47] <segaboy> looking for help virtualizing a Rasbian image with lib-virt. Has anyone has success with this? It seems I need a special kernel that's no longer online...
[15:49] <OneM_Industries> I have a Lenovo g50 laptop that I am trying to get wifi working on.
[15:49] <OneM_Industries> For some reason, wifi is not showing up as an option in networking.
[15:58] <loa> k1l_, wow that apt thing)) i did not know about that...
[16:04] <amirite> ARRRRRGH
[16:05] <buscon> hi
[16:05] <daftykins> amirite: can you phrase that as a question?
[16:05] <buscon> i'm running 13.10 and i'm trying to update to 14.04
[16:05] <amirite> how do i fix unverified packages in my apt repo? i updated the expiration date of the gpg key so it's no longer expired and exported the key to ppa.blah.com.key
[16:05] <cfhowlett> daftykins, question?  I thought it was commentary :)
[16:05] <buscon> when i run do-release-upgrade  i get a "No new release found"
[16:05] <amirite> yet stuff still doesn't install without force
[16:06] <buscon> how can i fix that?
[16:06] <amirite> i can't google this question because everybody who asks this is asking from the client side perspective
[16:06] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | buscon
[16:06] <amirite> i'm the server
[16:06] <onefix> Anyone know of a mount option in FSTAB that will automatically zero unused blocks (similar to zerofree, but live).
[16:07] <amirite> so why is a package unverified? what are the causes?
[16:07] <daftykins>  onefix - like trim?
[16:08] <onefix> I never thought of that...but trim might just be what I want
[16:08] <daftykins> assuming SSD
[16:09] <artois> onefix: think it's usually called 'discard' in fstab-speak
[16:09] <onefix> No,m VMware, I'm trying to make sure that thin provisioned VMDKs can free up unused space.
[16:09] <artois> sure they aren't?
[16:09] <LonelyDanbo> If Ubuntu had a swap file partition, it would be mounted, right? so if I have a swap file partition that's not mounted it probably belongs to the other OS I installed {Debian} and it's safe to delete it, right?
[16:10] <artois> LonelyDanbo: no swap isn't mounted
[16:10] <LonelyDanbo> ... oh.
[16:10] <artois> try sudo swapon -s
[16:10] <artois> or check /etc/fstab
[16:11] <LonelyDanbo> k, thanks. I'll check.
[16:11] <artois> if you accidentally deleted a swap partition, though, no particularly enduring harm would be done =)
[16:11] <artois> it's just an empty space to swap things, after all
[16:11] <buscon> cfhowlett, thanks for the links, i followed them but i still get "No new release found"
[16:12] <LonelyDanbo> hm. I guess so.
