[00:00] <Dracus> To reference, my phone and desktop pull down the same websites (google, speedtest.net, yadda, yadda) almost instantly.
[00:00] <blackangelpr> EiEiOhh, you might neeed to rezise your other partition to have more space for the root one :P if you take all the space rermember
[00:01] <Dracus> Yep, and as per usual, it failed the connection to ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[00:01] <deepubuntu> how can I create a bootable Pen drive for windows 7 using ubuntu 14.10
[00:01] <blackangelpr> search for make startup disk on the dash
[00:01] <blackangelpr> you need the windows 7 iso
[00:01] <Jordan_U> deepubuntu: That's more of a question for ##windows than #ubuntu.
[00:02] <Dracus> daftykins: What boggles me the most is why it's incredibly slow. It's connected, and has 3/4 of the "bars".
[00:03] <deepubuntu> I have windows 7 iso and using ubuntu 14.10
[00:03] <Dracus> daftykins: sorry for the spam but the only other fix I've tried is sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and commenting out "dns=dnsmasq"
[00:03] <Jordan_U> deepubuntu: Try asking in ##windows.
[00:03] <deepubuntu> Jordan_U: Its more of a question for ##ubuntu then #windows
[00:03] <blackangelpr> deepubuntu,  look in the dash for the startup disk creator choose your iso and choose any usb to install it then you should be able to boot there
[00:04] <daftykins> Dracus: what's the data rate? try an "iwconfig" in a terminal and share it to us via http://paste.ubuntu.com
[00:04] <deepubuntu> blackangelpr: I tried that
[00:04] <deepubuntu> but its not accepting windows 7 iso
[00:05] <deepubuntu> although I am able to create a ubuntu live pen drive using startup disk creater
[00:05] <blackangelpr> deepubuntu, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html
[00:05] <daftykins> Dracus: that is highly unlikely to be a DNS issue, but you can experiment with that too by seeing how long resolutions take (translating domains into IP addresses) by running "dig domain.com" in a terminal (where domain.com is any you care to try)
[00:06] <Dracus> I've pinged stuff for fun, including the address of google.ca and my network provider's address
[00:06] <Dracus> the data is here: paste.ubuntu.com/9600032/
[00:06] <Dracus> Brb, laundry
[00:07] <daftykins> deepubuntu: you can try unetbootin but i understand making Windows 7 work with it is a little quirky. ultimately it's easier to create a Windows bootable from Windows itself.
[00:09] <daftykins> Dracus: can you paste some of these pings and DNS queries (as per my instruction) then?
[00:09] <Dracus> back!
[00:09] <Dracus> Yes, I can, connection barring
[00:09] <Dracus> I'm on the IRC on a separate computer so it'll take me a bit longer
[00:09] <deepubuntu> daftykins: unetbootin is not supporting in ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10
[00:10] <EiEiOhh> blackangelpr, Thanks!
[00:10] <deepubuntu> and why I am a Deep ubuntu if I cannot create a bootable dive for windows user in ubuntu
[00:10] <blackangelpr> EiEiOhh,  welcome
[00:10] <squinty> deepubuntu:  you use the lower part of the unetbootin screen for iso's that don't show up in the drop down menu
[00:10] <deepubuntu> and they can make it in just a second
[00:11] <daftykins> deepubuntu: you say this based on what?
[00:11] <bubbasaures> deepubuntu, All you need is a ntfs partition with a boot flag and extract the iso to it.
[00:11] <deepubuntu> using GParted Partition Editor now
[00:11] <daftykins> !info unetbootin | deepubuntu This would seem to disagree with you...
[00:12] <squinty> deepubuntu:  when you use unetbootin, use the lower half of the unetbootin screen.... click on Diskimage  > ISO   use the directory selector to select the directory where the iso resides. and  Type = "USB Drive"  plus select the proper usb stick name (eg G:\ or /dev/sb1)  and if you want make a persistence file (for Ubuntu based iso's only)  by filling in the "Space used to preserve...etc)
[00:12] <Dracus> daftykins: what were some of the dns queries you wanted me to run?
[00:13] <daftykins> Dracus: scroll up.
[00:13] <daftykins> Dracus: just pick some domains you use and some you don't
[00:13] <Dracus> oh okay, sorry, I misinterpreted that entirely
[00:14] <Dracus> For google.com, 183msec I think
[00:14] <deepubuntu> oh sorry my mistake actually newer version are not supporting!
[00:14] <deepubuntu> quote of this site
[00:14] <deepubuntu> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html
[00:14] <deepubuntu> Some users have reported that some recent Unetbootin versions no longer let you select an USB drive formatted to NTFS and by formatting it to FAT, the Windows 7 installation fails.
[00:14] <daftykins> Dracus: just make a nice set and put 'em in a pastebin so as to not overload the channel here
[00:15] <daftykins> back shortly
[00:15] <DiogoSaraiva> Hi everyone... I have LVM in my ubuntu installation and i want to know how I can make a snapshot of the whole system, if possible, for example if I install a experimental software and i don't like it, go bak in time.... it is possible?? or make a snapshot and use it to install the experimental software and when I'm done I return to my normal ubuntu is it possible?  Thanks
[00:16] <Dracus> the data is here: paste.ubuntu.com/9600084/
[00:16] <Dracus> daftykins: no worries, list in above link
[00:17] <blackangelpr> DiogoSaraiva, i think this should help you http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/snapshots_backup.html
[00:18] <DiogoSaraiva> i already see this
[00:18] <DiogoSaraiva> but i not understand
[00:19] <Qwertie> How do I get the encryption key for my home folder?
[00:19] <blackangelpr> DiogoSaraiva, http://www.tecmint.com/take-snapshot-of-logical-volume-and-restore-in-lvm/
[00:19] <totesmuhgoats> hi pals
[00:19] <EriC^^> hi totesmuhgoats
[00:20] <daftykins> Dracus: alright, doesn't look like it's particularly hanging at all... those results might have been cached if you use those though. do you get any delays if you hit some domains you might not visit?
[00:20] <totesmuhgoats> i have a home server that was running ubuntu 12.04 LTS, i upgraded to 14.04 a few months ago. When I installed I did not use LVM but would now like to migrate to it. Will my 14.04 system have everything installed and ready to go by default?
[00:20] <Dracus> I don't go on buzzfeed, let me try it
[00:21] <pantsofchocolate> I have a ubuntu problem i cant seem to figure out. How do i remove a folder that was being used for autofs automounting. i stop the autofs process and it seems that i still cant delete it because it says the process is busy
[00:21] <daftykins> Dracus: off the top of my head, xkcd.com theverge.com engadget.com theregister.co.uk etc etc
[00:21] <Dracus> Funnily enough, use most of those. Buzzfeed returned an 85msec query time, no hangs that I can see
[00:21] <Jordan_U> pantsofchocolate: How are you trying to delte this directory? What is the exact error message you're seeing?
[00:21] <daftykins> :D
[00:21] <Dracus> As an example, reddit.com/ took approximately one complete minute to load
[00:21] <daftykins> ok
[00:22] <totesmuhgoats> that is slow
[00:22] <blackangelpr> pantsofchocolate, did you try from a live usb ?
[00:22] <daftykins> Dracus: which version of ubuntu is this then?
[00:22] <Dracus> 14.04
[00:22] <blackangelpr> pantsofchocolate, so you can delete it from it before it loads up
[00:22] <Dracus> I've experimented with other flavours but this is the final resolution before I give this laptop to a younger family member
[00:22] <pantsofchocolate> im just trying to rm -rf it and it says  rm: cannot remove `/mounted/': Device or resource busy
[00:23] <pantsofchocolate> its a vm machine at my job
[00:23] <Jordan_U> pantsofchocolate: sudo umount /mounted/
[00:23] <Dracus> I just loaded a high resolution image on i.imgur.com in about 1.5sec, which strikes me as really peculiar
[00:23] <pantsofchocolate> umount gives me evice is busy.
[00:23] <pantsofchocolate>         (In some cases useful info about processes that use
[00:23] <pantsofchocolate>          the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
[00:24] <DiogoSaraiva> blackangelpr, i see the link but when i issue the "vgs"  only appears one with 0 free
[00:24] <EriC^^> pantsofchocolate: you should umount before removing the directory!
[00:24] <pantsofchocolate> lsof on the folder returns nothing too
[00:24] <pantsofchocolate> haha i did that
[00:24] <EriC^^> pantsofchocolate: always use rmdir for removing mountpoints!
[00:24] <daftykins> Dracus: see if you can identify the driver in use with "lsmod | grep 802"
[00:25] <pantsofchocolate> still returns device is busy
[00:25] <blackangelpr> anyone else can help DiogoSaraiva  i have installed the same lvm system but i had not play with it so far to be help full
[00:25] <Jordan_U> pantsofchocolate: Please pastebin the output (if any) or "sudo fuser /mounted/".
[00:26] <pantsofchocolate> theres no output
[00:26] <Jordan_U> pantsofchocolate: Please pastebin the contents of /proc/mounts.
[00:26] <Dracus> daftykins: paste.ubuntu.com/9600162/
[00:26] <pantsofchocolate> lol wat. im sudo and i get permission denied thats fun.
[00:27] <pantsofchocolate> root i mean
[00:27] <Jordan_U> pantsofchocolate: /proc/mounts is not a command, it's a text file. Please pastebin its contents.
[00:28] <pantsofchocolate> at the bottom i see the point of my mount from my auto.mount file should i rmeove that from the proc?
[00:28] <Charcoalcat> Hey, anyone who was watching my problem with Livestream, it's working now! My speaker's battery apparently died at some point during the trouble-shooting, so I'm not sure what exact thing worked. Besides the advice I got, I also did "pulseaudio --kill" and "pulseaudio --start" and then reset Firefox.
[00:29] <Jordan_U> pantsofchocolate: No. Please pastebin the contents. You can do so from the terminal by running "pastebinit /proc/mounts", then post the URL that pastebinit gives you here.
[00:29] <daftykins> Dracus: best idea i can think of, to avoid messing with your actual install, is boot a 14.04.1 live session and install the recommend bwcml-kernel-source driver as recommended by the additional drivers program... and see how that behaves. i'm assuming you've ruled out obvious stuff like environmental concerns by putting that laptop in the same room as the router to confirm
[00:30] <Dracus> Will do. can I get an ez-pz copy and paste command to force a driver install?
[00:31] <pantsofchocolate> https://dpaste.de/gAYP
[00:31] <pantsofchocolate> the bottom 2 lines are it
[00:32] <daftykins> Dracus: ah, not since you have dead wired no. the packages are hidden on the 'disc' though, so you just install dkms then bwcml-kernel-source after. should be in tonnes of guides online
[00:32] <EriC^^> pantsofchocolate: wow, those are a lot of options :D
[00:32] <Dracus> aight, sweet.
[00:32] <Dracus> thanks for your help, I'll report back if stuff is still broken
[00:33] <Jordan_U> pantsofchocolate: What is the actual path of the directory you're trying to remove?
[00:33] <jdfskitz> Charcoalcat: was your issue ever resolved

[00:45] <Hilikus> how can i remove ubuntu one and get rid of that annoying message every time i boot up saying the service will shutdown in june eventhough we are in december
[00:46] <maxflax> Hilikus: Tried sudo apt-get purge ubuntuone-*
[00:46] <maxflax> Hilikus: on the other side don't do that one.
[00:46] <Hilikus> maxflax: i tried that. it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop
[00:47] <maxflax> Hilikus: Yes, saw that too.
[00:47] <blackangelpr> hum... confirmed rythmbox will not rip some tracks fron audio cd seems cant copy protected  just saying since we where talking of this earlier i had confirmed the cd keeps trying to read and stays in a loop and the program need to be forced to close
[00:48] <maxflax> Hilikus: Try removing it with the software center instead..
[00:49] <maxflax> Hilikus: This seems to be a good way. http://askubuntu.com/questions/309122/removing-ubuntu-one
[00:50] <daftykins> blackangelpr: yip it happens
[00:50] <daftykins> blackangelpr: if you're really desperate you could try ddrescue'ing the disc maybe :P then try ripping the result of that
[00:51] <blackangelpr> not that crazy :) i am just trying to make flac files of my russian language course since its expensive XD  so sad :( another person in here happened as well little bit early with one cd of japanese course :(
[00:54] <ObrienDave> no such thing as copy protection for audio CDs
[00:54] <blackangelpr> y could not copy them either on windows or linux so far and they are brand new  works perfectly in my car
[00:54] <zykotick9> ObrienDave: incorrect.  there _is_ "audio cds" with copy protection :(
[00:55] <ObrienDave> wrong
[00:55] <burner> why does my ubuntu want to shut down on its own?    If I use KDE, Openbox, xfce, etc, it just starts shutting down randomly on its own.  Any ideas?
[00:55] <dasjoe> burner: something may be pressing the power button
[00:56] <burner> dasjoe: not physically no... i'm sure of that
[00:56] <daftykins> ObrienDave: they really do exist :)
[00:56] <dasjoe> daftykins: they're not CDs by the Red Book standard
[00:56] <burner> can i check the logs somehow to see what's triggering it?
[00:57] <zykotick9> ObrienDave: article from 2001 talking about the start of copy protection on CDs http://www.geek.com/news/audio-cd-copy-protection-545808/
[00:57] <ObrienDave> ISO CDs and Joliet standard has NO copy protection defined
[00:57] <Jordan_U> ObrienDave: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Compact_Disc_and_DVD_copy_protection_schemes#Commercial_Audio_CD.2FDVD_protection_schemes
[00:57] <maxflax> burner: What type of comp do you have?
[00:58] <burner> maxflax: it's an i5 dell desktop...  optiplex 790, but i odn't think it's hardware
[00:58] <burner> my pc stays on just fine in ubuntu cause it waits for me to click that it's ok to shut down
[00:58] <burner> i bet if i changed kde to prompt on logout, I'd be fine with it too, but it would ask me to logout and shut down occasionally.  i almost feel like i'm hacked
[00:58]  * squinty mutters "an unstable one with that amount of desktops"  :P
[00:59] <blackangelpr> burner, can you try another usb keyboard?
[00:59] <burner> i can, but i doubt that will do anything
[00:59] <deepubuntu> Finally this helped me creating the bootable pen drive http://onetransistor.blogspot.in/2014/09/make-bootable-windows-usb-from-ubuntu.html
[00:59] <blackangelpr> great will take a look at it
[01:00] <maxflax> burner, well don't be too sure about that.. I hade the same problem a couple of years ago. The technician replaced psu, mb, ram etc... but in the end I pulled the wires to the power button and voila it stopped wanting to turn it self off.
[01:00] <burner> yeah... so i'm going to continue down the software route.  thanks though
[01:01] <blackangelpr> deepubuntu, definitely harder than it should be :P hope they allow to install win iso later on XD
[01:01] <maxflax> burner: It's more common than you think with faulty power buttons.. safe you alot of grief just pulling those wires.. it will not even take you 4 min to do that and you will quickly see if it helps
[01:02] <Vesta4> Hi folks! I'm trying to get an Ubuntu virtual machine to connect to the internet, and I was told I should ask here.
[01:02] <daftykins> virtualbox? did they send you here? :P
[01:02] <Vesta4> Yes.
[01:03] <bekks> Vesta4:
[01:03] <daftykins> ugh what a lovely channel of helpers they are
[01:03] <Vesta4> We've been working for the last couple hours trying to figure it out.
[01:03] <bekks> Vesta4: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html
[01:03] <burner> Vesta4: windows host?  ubuntu guest?  did you set up for bridge or nat?
[01:03] <Vesta4> One of the users thinks I need to configure "eth0" to use DHCP.
[01:03] <bekks> daftykins: Yeah they are lovely, since they forward guest OS issues to the guest OS support channels :)
[01:04] <deepubuntu> blackangelpr: Thanks for the help and support and sorry if I said something wrong at that time but can you understand if a someone challenged you make win 7 bootable pen drive using ubuntu 14.10 and you spend whole night searching for it and you succeed at 06:33
[01:04] <EriC^^> Vesta4: it usually just works out of the box for me
[01:04] <burner> Vesta4: by default, it probably is...  if you open a terminal in your guest and type "ifconfig" do you see it getting an ip on eth0?
[01:04] <daftykins> bekks: if that's where the fault lies, i guess :>
[01:04] <bekks> daftykins: :D
[01:04]  * Vesta4 did not mean to start a channel war.
[01:04] <EriC^^> Vesta4: the live usb in the vm doesnt have internet access?
[01:04] <daftykins> there's no war, carry on
[01:04] <bekks> Vesta4: Dont worry :)
[01:05] <Vesta4> Ok, lots of questions, where to start...
[01:05] <EriC^^> Vesta4: the last
[01:05] <bekks> daftykins: He is using a NAT interface in the vm settings, so he "just" need to ensure his eth0 config actually uses DHCP.
[01:05] <EriC^^> and move backwards
[01:05] <EriC^^> :P
[01:05] <blackangelpr> deepubuntu,  have a good rest buddy
[01:05] <Vesta4> burner - Windows7 host, ubuntu 14.04 guest. Tried both bridge and NAT.
[01:05] <daftykins> bekks: why would that not be the standard 0o
[01:05] <Vesta4> burner (currently configured to NAT)
[01:05] <daftykins> also why do i need to know? :D
[01:05] <burner> Vesta4: and what was the result of your guest ubuntu IP via "ifconfig"?
[01:06] <deepubuntu> blackangelpr: thanks :)
[01:06] <Vesta4> burner : No IP address on eth0 when reading ifconfig output
[01:06] <burner> but there is an eth0 yes?
[01:06] <Vesta4> Eric^^ - I don't know what you mean by "live usb in the vm"
[01:06] <burner> virtualbox?
[01:07] <EriC^^> Vesta4: when you first selected the iso to boot in the vm, to install ubuntu, did it have internet access?
[01:07] <Vesta4> burner - Yes, eth0 was listed.
[01:07] <burner> Vesta4: i assume he means when you boot from the iso, does it work in the "try ubuntu" before you install it?
[01:07] <Vesta4> I didn't do the try option, I went right to installing it. While installing, it was not able to access the internet.
[01:08] <EriC^^> Vesta4: click on the vm and click on settings > network, is it enabled and NAT selected?
[01:08] <Vesta4> Eric^^ - Yes, it is enabled, and NAT is selected.
[01:08] <burner> weird, that really should be all there is to it.  reinstall virtualbox :)
[01:09] <EriC^^> Vesta4: did you checksum the iso?
[01:09] <Vesta4> No.
[01:09] <bekks> How about checking on how eth0 is configured...?
[01:09] <burner> or set it manually through the network settings
[01:09] <Vesta4> bekks - where would I do that?
[01:09] <burner> click the network, edit connections...
[01:09] <burner> click wired, and edit
[01:09] <bekks> Vesta4: Did you take a look at the link I gave you?
[01:09] <nmatrix9> unbelievable
[01:10] <nmatrix9> un freaking believable
[01:10] <Vesta4> Got lost in the shuffle. Will do so now.
[01:11] <nmatrix9> In 5 minutes I could set the resolution on my widescreen with some nifty tools,  so I upgrade and now all the gui tools are gone and I have to hack .conf scripts and hope that I can get everything back the way it was before.
[01:11] <Chuck_Norris> Vesta4: set it as "bridge"
[01:11] <nmatrix9> not impressed so with 14.04
[01:12] <phre4k> nmatrix9: apt-get install arandr
[01:12] <Vesta4> Burner - I tried to use the GUI to setup the connection before I came to IRC to ask for help.  Trying to add a connection opens a window where I'm asked to enter MAC addresses, which was a little over my head.
[01:13] <Stanley00> nmatrix9: did you just update some video card driver? like nvidia?
[01:13] <daftykins> nmatrix9: fwiw you're the first i've seen having issues setting a resolution due to 'not having the programs' o0
[01:15] <nmatrix9> phre4k, Are there any plans to re-add DisplayConfigGTK  because honestly I've been playing with xrandr, krandr, somerandr.    In 12.04 I just had to run DisplayConfigGTK and  I would be done in 60 seconds but now that's been removed and I have to manually figure everything out by hand.
[01:15] <nmatrix9> Whatever happened to ease of use with Ubunut?
[01:16] <Vesta4> I think I reached my limit for today. Day 7 of trying to get started using Rails. Blah.
[01:17] <Jordan_U> nmatrix9: There is definitely a Display section in Gnome Control Center.
[01:20] <nmatrix9> Jordan_U, absolutely, it's not so much a matter of finding some displaying setting gui, but finding one that will allow me to select my monitor type from a list, clicking apply and getting the resolution instantly.  These other xrandr, arandr whatdandr don't do anything as they only give one resolution of 620 x 480.
[01:20] <Chuck_Norris> nmatrix9: graphic card ?
[01:21] <daftykins> nmatrix9: i'd have been interested to know: 1) graphics hardware 2) driver in use 3) see a Xorg.0.log of this setup
[01:21] <daftykins> because quite genuinely nobody else has had this
[01:21] <daftykins> (that i've seen in here)
[01:22] <nmatrix9> Chuck_Norris, GeForce GTX 550 Ti
[01:22] <nmatrix9> Chuck_Norris with driver nvidia_331 recommended
[01:22] <daftykins> so why weren't you using nvidia-settings?
[01:23] <nmatrix9> daftykins, I did try to use Nvidia-settings but it's the same issue!  The only resolution option I get is 800x600, 620x480.
[01:24] <daftykins> nmatrix9: what monitor connection type? and that Xorg log would likely answer everything.
[01:24] <nmatrix9> daftykins, Ubuntu 14.04 as far I can tell does not give me the same ease of use power I had with the earlier versions
[01:24] <daftykins> i think something is screwy with your setup
[01:25] <nmatrix9> daftykins, ok fair enough I'll get the log.
[01:25] <Stanley00> nmatrix9: that's the nvidia driver, what I have told you before :(
[01:25] <daftykins> nope it doesn't run this badly
[01:25] <daftykins> don't play the blame game
[01:26] <chris__> having problems accessing a shared windows 8.1 folder with my ubuntu 14.04 machine on home network
[01:26] <daftykins> make sure win8.1 isn't part of a homegroup
[01:27] <chris__> will try it and check back
[01:27] <chris__> thanks!
[01:28] <nmatrix9> daftykins, Here's my log file http://pastebin.com/ZvZEgyNq
[01:28] <Stanley00> daftykins: I don't want to blame, but the fact is, or at least is true with many of my friends, using ubuntu with just intel video card is much more easier than nvidia or ATI, and I will stop here :3
[01:28] <nmatrix9> daftykins, my connection type is DVI
[01:29] <daftykins> [ 70459.040] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.13.0-43-generic root=/dev/mapper/volgroup_00-logical_volume_02 ro quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1440x900-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap
[01:29] <daftykins> why are you booting with all that junk? :)
[01:29] <EiEiOhh> I have 3 partitions. sda1=slash then sda2=swap finally sda3= home. I need to expand the slash. I booted into a LIVE CD. I think I need to move my swap to the front of the drive because it is in the way of expanding slash after shrinking HOME. I see a key icon on the swap file and I cant move it. I think this is becasue I am using swap while on a LIVE CD. How can I complete the process of expanding slash?
[01:29] <nmatrix9> daftykins, me?
[01:30] <daftykins> nmatrix9: yep. and you're trying to feed it a busted xorg.conf
[01:30] <Stanley00> EiEiOhh: try right click on that swap partition and select swap off first?
[01:31] <nmatrix9> daftykins, That grub line without it I would not be in this chan chatting right now.  That was the only that got my X working, from another forum.
[01:31] <Jordan_U> EiEiOhh: Moving swap to the beginning of the drive would require resizing your root filesystem by changing its start, which is requires *much* more IO than resizing by changing the start (it requires copying every block in the filseystem).
[01:31] <daftykins> nmatrix9: right but your setup is completely messed up, according to *that* log file (are you sure this is /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? ) it shouldn't even be running.
[01:32] <nmatrix9> It seemed to be the only thing that got my X working so that I could log into it.  After countless other solutions and advice.
[01:32] <Jordan_U> EiEiOhh: So you don't want to do that. How much more space do you want for /home/? Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[01:32] <EiEiOhh> Stanley00: Brilliant.. that did it. DO I neew to swapon when im done?
[01:33] <daftykins> nmatrix9: seems dubious, ho-hum depends how you want to proceed i guess.
[01:33] <Jordan_U> EiEiOhh: "much more IO than resizing by changing the *end*" :)
[01:33] <daftykins> nmatrix9: was this an upgrade install too, or a clean 14.04.x ?
[01:34] <Stanley00> EiEiOhh: You don't need that when on live cd, but remember to edit the fstab on your root (slash) to match your new partition layout, and reinstall boot loader too
[01:35]  * blackangelpr is away: (@_@) break time!
[01:35] <nmatrix9> daftykins, wait a sec that pastebin of the log is incomplete, let me repaste.
[01:35] <daftykins> nmatrix9: i figured it was just broken
[01:36] <Jordan_U> nmatrix9: What happened when you simply tried to boot an Ubuntu 14.04 LiveCD/USB, with no special options or work arounds?
[01:36] <Magnus__> How do I get Adobe Flash Plugin to work with Chromium on Ubuntu?
[01:36] <daftykins> Magnus__: you don't. you use pepperflash
[01:37] <EiEiOhh> Stanley00: that went right over my head.. edit fstab and reinstall boot loader?
[01:37] <Magnus__> Where do I get pepperflash?
[01:37] <rneese> ok guys learning ubuntu as its not really all the same as debian
[01:37] <daftykins> !find pepperflash
[01:37] <rneese> what do i install to get firmware for my wifi usb
[01:37] <nmatrix9> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/CD0H0UeU
[01:37] <daftykins> Magnus__: ^
[01:37] <Jordan_U> nmatrix9: With uvesafb you aren't using native graphics drivers at all, even if you are able to achieve full resolution this way you will get no 3D acceleration and poor 2D performance as well. CPU usage will be through the roof, and unless you have very light requirements for your day to day activities it will not be a pleasant experience.
[01:37] <rneese> I have a rtl8188cuu
[01:38] <Chuck_Norris> Magnus__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9492325/
[01:38] <daftykins> Chuck_Norris: it tends to be frowned upon to throw third party PPAs at people in here.
[01:39] <phre4k> nmatrix9: seriously, arandr is the shit. I never use anything else.
[01:39] <Stanley00> EiEiOhh: just a min, it's complicated :3
[01:39] <phre4k> aw darn, sorry for the language _again_
[01:39] <phre4k> I'm just not suited for a family friendly channel.
[01:39] <Jordan_U> nmatrix9: phre4k: But none of the normal tools will work optimaly, if at all, as long as nmatrix9 is using uvesafb.
[01:39] <nmatrix9> Jordan_U,  after a few weeks and people talking about all of these wonderful tools the only thing that has worked, so far. Is the stuff that I had to do that your looking at right now.
[01:40] <Jordan_U> nmatrix9: What happened when you simply tried to boot an Ubuntu 14.04 LiveCD/USB, with no special options or work arounds?
[01:40] <nmatrix9> Jordan_U, LiveCD works, why are you asking?
[01:41] <nmatrix9> Jordan_U, I did a clean install last night
[01:41] <daftykins> nmatrix9: yep that's pretty predictable: [ 70470.294] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device DFP-0
[01:41] <nmatrix9> with a brand new SSD drive
[01:41] <Jordan_U> nmatrix9: The LiveCD gives you full resolution with no work arounds?
[01:42] <EiEiOhh> Stanley00: ok.. Here's what Ive done so far.. Shrunk and committed home. Moved and shrunk swap (not yet committed) increased slash (not yet committed). I still have a small sliver of 1.oo mib unallocated I cant seem to do anything with
[01:42] <phre4k> Jordan_U: then nmatrix9 should use a real driver.
[01:42] <Jordan_U> phre4k: I agree :)
[01:42] <rneese> ok I need help getting the realtek 8188cu working ubuntu 14.04
[01:42] <rneese> what repo do I need for the firmware
[01:42] <Jordan_U> EiEiOhh: Where did you move swap to?
[01:42] <Jordan_U> EiEiOhh: Don't worry about 1 MiB of unallocated space.
[01:43] <nmatrix9> Jordan_U:  Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS  was not exactly graphically rich in the install.
[01:43] <Stanley00> EiEiOhh: OK, here is what I found so far, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Fixing_a_Broken_System <= this is for reinstall boot loader :3
[01:43] <daftykins> nmatrix9: so what did it look like?
[01:43] <EiEiOhh> I moved swap to just before home.. Everything is still in the same order.. slash, swap then Home
[01:43] <Jordan_U> nmatrix9: OK. Please try booting from an Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop CD/USB, so that you have a completely default configuration, and report what happens.
[01:44] <daftykins> nmatrix9: shame i didn't see this from the start. i would've liked to see a Xorg.0.log from the live session boot up
[01:44] <EiEiOhh> Jordan_U: sorry Jordan.. that last message was for you
[01:44] <nmatrix9> Jordan_U, It was text mostly install
[01:45] <Jordan_U> EiEiOhh: If you changed where /home/ starts, then expect it to take a long time to apply. Also, I hope that you have all important data on this drive backed up (as you always should).
[01:45] <Jordan_U> nmatrix9: I understand that. I'm not concerned with installing at the moment, I'm concerned with testing in a known environment. Please boot from an Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop CD/USB and report what happens.
[01:46] <nmatrix9> Jordan_U,  Yeah I'm doing it now
[01:47] <daftykins> i wouldn't be surprised if this one comes down to the display not giving EDID as it needs a good old fashioned power cycle :)
[01:47] <EiEiOhh> Jordan_U: home is still at the end  after swap but it was shrunk
[01:47] <daftykins> i.e. mains cable firmly removed.
[01:48] <thorie> anyone use vga switcheroo?
[01:48] <rneese> can anyone help with wifi
[01:48] <daftykins> rneese: what did your research uncover as to what needs doing for that realtek model?
[01:49] <rneese> I have a 8188cu
[01:49] <rneese> but I need the firmware for it
[01:49] <Stanley00> thorie: just ask your *real* question please :)
[01:49] <rneese> I know debian has a repo with it in it but is there firmware for ubuntu
[01:50] <rneese> as I cant find it with aptitude
[01:51] <Chuck_Norris> rneese: are you connected to internet in the machin with the realtek pluged in ?
[01:52] <rneese> I am hardwired connected
[01:52] <Chuck_Norris> machine*
[01:52] <rneese> its not finding the dongle because the firmware is missuing
[01:52] <thorie> im trying to use ubuntu with my mac, but i don't understand this vgaswitcheroo stuff on this page http://askubuntu.com/questions/184406/how-to-switch-between-gfx-cards-on-macbook-pro-15-8-2
[01:52] <rneese> but yes I am on the system
[01:53] <Chuck_Norris> ok plug the realtek then: sudo apt-get install curl
[01:53] <thorie> how can I use my radeon with ubuntu?
[01:53] <rneese> curl is installed
[01:54] <Stanley00> thorie: I think you shouldn't do anything. Don't fix when it works?
[01:54] <daftykins> Chuck_Norris: you and curl :P
[01:54] <Chuck_Norris> rneese: now open a terminal and copy and paste this:  lsusb | curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw     then paste here the url that will pop up
[01:55] <rneese> is there not a firmware pkg like on debian
[01:55] <thorie> Stanley00: it works but i can't use an external monitor :( the mini display port is active only when the radeon is being used
[01:55] <daftykins> judging by my googling, nope
[01:55] <Chuck_Norris> rneese: idk if there a .deb but i found a link to fix that problem
[01:56] <rneese> 503 Backend fetch failed.
[01:56] <Chuck_Norris> rneese: i think this will help:  https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reserve-7   i am just checking chipset
[01:57] <rneese> its the rtl 8188cu
[01:57] <arun> anyone here using ubuntu builder?
[01:57] <rneese> Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter
[01:58] <Stanley00> thorie: I've not used mac before. So I cann't help you much, just wait here for some other. sorry
[01:59] <thorie> ok thanks
[01:59] <Chuck_Norris> rneese: ok ok, but we need to no exactly, ok then, that guide should be ok, now, do you need any help followin that guide ?
[02:00] <EiEiOhh> Stanley00: so the boot repair need to be run AFTER I commit my changes?
[02:00] <rneese> seems like I would be easier to get debian img
[02:00] <rneese> this is alot more work then debian for the firmware
[02:00] <Stanley00> EiEiOhh: yes
[02:01] <Chuck_Norris> rneese: idk about debian, i think to remember somthing about "module-assistance" or something like that but... idk i use only ubuntu -.-
[02:02] <EiEiOhh> The link says it can be in LIVECD.. Right?
[02:02] <Stanley00> EiEiOhh: yes, and it's should be done in live cd :3
[02:02] <Chuck_Norris> we need to know* exactly...
[02:04] <EiEiOhh> ok.. committed changes. Will now run boot-repair
[02:04] <EriC^^> EiEiOhh: what are you doing?
[02:05] <FSK405C> so any up to date guides on getting ubuntu on a macbooke? all efforts seem to be leading me to a black screen on boot and I’m pretty much at a fricken loss. was easier to get it running properly under powerpc :P
[02:05] <Bluez> hi
[02:05] <daftykins> FSK405C: it's all experimental, so at your own risk really.
[02:05] <daftykins> !mac
[02:06] <daftykins> nothing besides that, that i know of
[02:06] <Stanley00> EriC^^: (s)he is resizing ubuntu's partition, and I suggest to repair boot loader too :3
[02:06] <EiEiOhh> EriC^^: I needed to expand the size of my slash partition and shrunk my home partition. I have my swap partition between the two
[02:06] <EriC^^> slash partition? of guns n roses?
[02:06] <FSK405C> I dont mind risk … been playing with boot options for three days, a half dozen reinstalls and … those pages are dated =(
[02:07] <daftykins> FSK405C: be sure to update them with your success!
[02:07] <FSK405C> but thanks :)
[02:07] <FSK405C> ahahahahaha
[02:07] <daftykins> FSK405C: you're using a 14.04.1 mac ISO yes?
[02:07] <thedoor> have u use gparted?
[02:07] <Chuck_Norris> FSK405C: did you try "nomodeset" ?
[02:07] <FSK405C> I saw wut you did thar, daftykins =p
[02:07] <FSK405C> I did :(
[02:07] <daftykins> FSK405C: i'm serious, i added one of those pages just the other day
[02:07] <FSK405C> and I am :)
[02:08] <EriC^^> EiEiOhh: nevermind
[02:08] <FSK405C> I did as in tried nomodeset, and am as in 14.04
[02:08] <FSK405C> actually I’ve tried a few versions 14.04, 14.10, 12.04, etc :(
[02:08] <FSK405C> daftykins: Im gathering you had much better luck than I.. =o
[02:09] <daftykins> FSK405C: well it was on a ghetto late 2007 thing
[02:09] <FSK405C> Im on a ghetto 2010 thing :|
[02:09] <EriC^^> EiEiOhh: :) if you have a live usb reboot and if it doesn't work reinstall grub
[02:09] <FSK405C> I just saw the GnR reference. That was amusing.
[02:10] <daftykins> GnR ref?
[02:10] <FSK405C> don’t mind me, just woke =o
[02:10] <FSK405C> scroll back like one min
[02:12] <EiEiOhh> EriC^^: so my ubuntu live 14.04 cd (what I used to resize the partitions) does not have boot-repair. can I shutdown LIVE and reboot into a LIVE USB?
[02:13] <EriC^^> EiEiOhh: yeah sure
[02:13] <EriC^^> EiEiOhh: shutdown, remove the cd, and see if your ubuntu boots
[02:13] <EriC^^> if it doesn't then boot the cd and then you can reinstall grub from there
[02:13] <EiEiOhh> EriC^^: ok.. fingers and eyes crossed
[02:15] <kjf2015> hi all. I have a directory with over a thousand mp3 which are mostly properly tagged. Is there a software that I can use to view them by genre and then move all mp3 files of each genre to a folder. This is so I can use the music on a USB drive in my car. I've tried Clementine and Picard so far, with no luck
[02:15] <EriC^^> kjf2015: can you view the tag in the commandline?
[02:16] <kjf2015> EriC^^, no idea how to do that
[02:16] <EriC^^> that's what you want
[02:16] <Stanley00> kjf2015: write your own script to do that, it's much faster :3
[02:16] <kjf2015> Stanley00, don't know how
[02:17] <EriC^^> kjf2015: once you can get the tag from the command line it's a done deal
[02:17] <kjf2015> thing is I did this for a separate USB drive with my music in FLAC for the living room, but cannot remember the name of the software
[02:17] <kjf2015> uhh EriC^^ don't now how
[02:17] <kjf2015> know
[02:17] <EriC^^> i'll give you the command
[02:17] <kjf2015> great
[02:18] <anon> hello
[02:19] <EiEiOhh> EriC^^: so if it boots, I'm golden? and the ubuntu channel is my daddy?
[02:19] <EriC^^> Stanley00: no need for a script with cases, he can jst use the tag as the dir to send the file to
[02:20] <squinty> kjf2015:  mp3info  perhaps?
[02:20] <anon> I created a group called "me" and changed the group of a folder to "me". And I have changed the permissions on that folder to allow the group members to write/read/execute to that folder: "drwxrwx_ _ _". I can't write to that folder though. cna someone please tell me, where did I get it wrong?
[02:21] <Stanley00> EriC^^: he need to "move all mp3 files of each genre to a folder", so I just think a script is needed here :3
[02:21] <squinty> anon:  added yourself to that group?
[02:21] <anon> i did.
[02:22] <anon> group anon: wheel...me...
[02:22] <EriC^^> Stanley00: he can do a "strip the tag and parse it", mv $file /music/$tag/$file;
[02:24] <Stanley00> EriC^^: one liner is still a *script* to me, but what ever, just focus on your command to give him first  :3
[02:24]  * blackangelpr is back (gone 00:49:30)
[02:24] <EiEiOhh> EriC^^: Stanley00 It looks like I am in good shape.. I booted fine and the partitions are as I resized. is there anything else I need to do to complete this?
[02:24] <EriC^^> Stanley00: i thought you meant to use a case, like this) do this that) do that bla) do bla
[02:25] <EriC^^> Stanley00: just saying can be done without a lot of typing and stuff
[02:25] <EriC^^> Stanley00: i'm telling you this more or less because it's getting late here and i might go to bed :)
[02:25] <zykotick9> anon: did you log out/back in?  group membership is determined at login.
[02:26] <Chuck_Norris> EriC^^: maybe "id3 -l files*.mp3 | grep whatever", mv $file /music/$tag/$file; ?
[02:28] <anon> ahhhhhhh. that's it. thanks a lot
[02:29] <kjf2015> Chuck_Norris, that shows me all the files of a given genre, but how to then tell the mv command to move those files only?
[02:34] <EiEiOhh> Stanley00: EriC^^ Thank you guys for your help!!
[02:34] <EiEiOhh> Happy Holidays
[02:34] <Stanley00> EiEiOhh: welcome :3
[02:35] <FSK405C> well that was encouraging .. I actually saw the splash screen before it went black that time. *facepalm*
[02:36] <Deviad> Hello gyys
[02:36] <Deviad> guys*
[02:37] <Deviad> I am getting crazy with an issue: I nstalled correctly dovecot, postfix, etc. however when I get to vimbadmin I have this error:
[02:37] <Deviad> Error executing Dovecot password command: /usr/bin/doveadm pw -s 'cram-md5' -u<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 'debaninside'
[02:37] <Deviad> I checked the permission in dovecot config files and they all have +r
[02:37] <Deviad> also the doveadm has got +x on everyone
[02:37] <Deviad> what can be the cause of this problem?
[02:40] <kjf2015> found the slow way to accomplish my task, Guayadeque, view by genre, copy by genre
[02:41] <EriC^^> kjf2015: noo
[02:41] <EriC^^> hold on
[02:41] <landi> can someone give the link to download ubuntu 14.10  ?
[02:42] <daftykins> landi: ubuntu.com
[02:42] <landi> daftykins, that's where I'm looking for it
[02:43] <landi> but there is just the 14.04 links
[02:43] <EriC^^> kjf2015: find . | while read bla; do cp $bla ./$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done
[02:43] <landi> and I dont want to use torrents
[02:43] <EriC^^> kjf2015: make a dir with every genre first
[02:43] <daftykins> landi: http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[02:43] <EriC^^> kjf2015: find . | while read bla; do cp $bla /path/to/Genre/dirs/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done
[02:43] <landi> thanks
[02:44] <EriC^^> kjf2015: replace /path/to/Genre.. with where you put the Genres, they are case sensitive btw
[02:44] <kjf2015> EriC^^, thanks, but: 1) no idea what you are talking about, and 2) guayadeque creates a convenient directory tree genre/artist/album which I then consolidate to like 10 of them for simplicity
[02:45] <EriC^^> kjf2015: this will recursively go through every dir in your music dir and copy the music to the respective genre dirs
[02:45] <Chuck_Norris> kjf2015: i almost got it :P   for i in $(id3 -l Music/*.mp3 | awk '/Tango/,/^$/' | grep mp3) ; do cp $i test/; done    the *.mp3 shoulnt have special characters, and the i have to delete ":" at the end of ever line -.-
[02:46] <kjf2015> EriC^^,  what is bla supposed to be?
[02:46] <EriC^^> kjf2015: it's just a variable
[02:46] <EriC^^> it's supposed to be the path to the file it's checking the id3 of
[02:46] <kjf2015> EriC^^, where is it defined?
[02:47] <Chuck_Norris> image -.-  http://i.imgur.com/l2HoGbx.png
[02:47] <Stanley00> kjf2015: at where it has no $ at begin :3
[02:47] <EriC^^> kjf2015: if you append echo before cp you'll see what the command will be
[02:47] <EriC^^> kjf2015: like a dry run

[02:53] <kjf2015> EriC^^, so if I am in director with the mp3 and want to move all Jazz mp3 then, will this work cp * ~/Desktop/mp3/jazz ./$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Jazz:.* " | awk '{print$2}')
[02:53] <Deviad> Hello can anyone help me with my issue?
[02:54] <Deviad> Error executing Dovecot password command: /usr/bin/doveadm pw -s 'cram-md5' -u<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 'debaninside'
[02:54] <kjf2015> EriC^^, or this ? cp * ~/Desktop/mp3/jazz/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Jazz:.* " | awk '{print$2}')
[02:54] <EriC^^> kjf2015: no, the only thing to modify is the /path/to/Genre/dir
[02:55] <nmatrix9> Jordan_U,   Did I mention that I use to have a dual monitor setup, until my primary monitor blew and now Iam stuck with this secondary monitor which won't go above 800x600
[02:55] <EriC^^> kjf2015: nope
[02:56] <kjf2015> so EriC^^ then cp * /Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}')
[02:56] <kjf2015> so EriC^^ then cp * /Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l * | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}')
[02:56] <Stanley00> kjf2015: no, find . | while read bla; do cp $bla  ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done
[02:57] <Stanley00> kjf2015: but for safe, run   find . | while read bla; do echo cp $bla  ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done
[02:57] <kjf2015> Stanley00, i'm already in the directory with the music
[02:57] <Stanley00> kjf2015: but wait a minute
[02:57] <kjf2015> what good does find do for me
[02:58] <Stanley00> EriC^^: you forgot to make destination directories?
[02:58] <EriC^^> kjf2015: you need to create the Genre dirs in ~/Desktop/mp3/
[02:58] <EriC^^> Stanley00: yeah he has to create them, he can do it automatically of course
[02:58] <EriC^^> id3 -L | awk '{print$2}' | xargs mkdir
[02:58] <EriC^^> it's pretty nuts though it will make a dir for every genre
[02:58] <EriC^^> :D
[02:59] <EriC^^> you can delete empty dirs later i guess
[02:59] <EriC^^> rmdir *
[03:00] <nmatrix9> daftykins, Well Iam reporting back that I cannot boot into Ubuntu desktop,  I saw the splash screen and then it just stopped.
[03:01] <nmatrix9> daftykins, is there a diagnostic tool for video cards in Ubuntu?
[03:01] <kjf2015> Chuck_Norris, EriC^^ , Stanley00 thanks for the help, can't get it to work, and additional glitch is that songs with the name of a genre in title get classified as that genre
[03:02] <kjf2015> using guayadeque i can only copy those that have Jazz as the tag genre
[03:02] <EriC^^> kjf2015: that doesn't make sense, it greps for the word Genre
[03:03] <EriC^^> kjf2015: you want to copy the ones with jazz only?
[03:03] <kjf2015> EriC^^, most of it doesn't make sense to me :)
[03:03] <kjf2015> nope EriC^^ all of them
[03:04] <kjf2015> some background EriC^^ this flat dir works fine on laptop, but car has limited screen and i don't want to die while being distracted, so wife (and DJ) for upcoming trip will be able to switch genres by navigating USB (car software can't pull tags auto magically)
[03:05] <kjf2015> driving 8 hours tomorrow so hoping to have this done
[03:05] <EriC^^> ok cd ~/Desktop/mp3
[03:05] <nmatrix9> Anyone know of any diagnostic tools one can run on their videocard?
[03:06] <squinty> nmatrix9:  maybe try the following ->  Start a reboot and hold down the Shift key. Press the e key on getting the GRUB bootloader.
[03:06] <squinty> Using arrow keys navigate to and delete quiet and splash and type the word nomodeset (and/or xforcevesa) in their place
[03:06] <squinty> Press Ctrl and X at the same time to continue booting
[03:06] <EriC^^> kjf2015: if you want make a dir called genre so we don't mess things up
[03:07] <EriC^^> kjf2015: mkdir genre
[03:07] <nmatrix9> squinty, few times I rebooted my wireless keyboard stopped functioning.
[03:07] <jdfskitz> this nomodeset thing is quite common in 14.04 aint it.
[03:07] <EriC^^> kjf2015: did you make the dir?
[03:08] <squinty> jdfskitz:  been in common use for years...basic troubleshooting method
[03:08] <nmatrix9> squinty, Iam really starting to get suspicious of either my videocard or my monitor itself.  Just wish I had some sort of system diagnostic tool I could run.
[03:09] <jdfskitz> change your bootloader to load your network card or something, similar, it causes a delay which allows it to get to the bootloaded on occasion. then through a memory console or alt+f2 you can access a terminal and sudo nano /etc/conf/grub.conf (if i'm correct) and add nomodeset where he said
[03:09] <squinty> nmatrix9:  from your previous description, probably video card driver related.
[03:09] <jdfskitz> sorry, I'll back out. you know what you are doing
[03:10] <squinty> nmatrix9:  no usb or ps2 extra keyboard hanging around ?
[03:11] <nmatrix9> squinty, this whole business with funky xservers and even funkier video drivers is really stressing me out.
[03:11] <jdfskitz> lol
[03:11] <jdfskitz> it's worth it when you get it working
[03:12] <squinty> nmatrix9:  take a break... try again later.  :)  no keyboard... try local thrift store and get one for a dollar or two..
[03:12] <kaiserfarrell__> #build_roofs
[03:13] <kjf2015> EriC^^, is this the command find . | while read bla; do echo cp $bla ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}')
[03:13] <nmatrix9> jdfskitz, yeah that's the thing unfortunately Iam short on time as I have some critical things I need to work on.  At this point I have a few options 1. Go to try a different distro 2. Buy a new video card or 3 buy a new monitor  I've already lost over a week battling this thing and it's really just driving up my emnity towards it.
[03:13] <squinty> nmatrix9:  always good to have extra gear around when experimenting... no all systems/hardware install right out of the box :)
[03:13] <kjf2015> EriC^^, as a test i made /Desktop/mp3/Jazz
[03:13] <kjf2015> ran the command find . | while read bla; do echo cp $bla ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}');
[03:14] <kjf2015> got a > prompt ???
[03:14] <EriC^^> it needs done at the end
[03:14] <EriC^^> use "$bla" instead of $bla
[03:14] <nmatrix9> squinty, that's the thing Ubuntu 11 and Ubuntu 12 worked like a dream.   Revert back to 12.04
[03:16] <EriC^^> kjf2015: find /path/to/music | while read bla; do cp "$bla" ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l "$bla" | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done
[03:16] <Or1on> about the recent ntp security issue, is there anything I need to do with a default install? do I need to run ntp-keygen?
[03:16] <stef1a> i'm trying to access another computer and am having trouble. it boots up into ubuntu 14.10 and i can log in just fine. but then it just shows the cursor, the desktop, and the ubuntu watermark, and i can't do anything else except switch to a different tty. help?
[03:17] <squinty> nmatrix9:  does your keyboard work with the livedvd 14.04.1?  might be an indication there if tried
[03:18] <nmatrix9> squinty, my keyboard worked for Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS strangely.
[03:19] <k1mmyyy> hi guys
[03:19] <EriC^^> kjf2015: to make the list of genres cd ~/Desktop/mp3 && id3 -L | awk '{print$2}' | xargs mkdir
[03:19] <nmatrix9> That is what Iam using right now.
[03:20] <EriC^^> kjf2015: once you're done with the find command cd ~/Desktop/mp3 && rmdir * ( if you don't have any other empty ones you dont want to remove )
[03:20] <EriC^^> it will delete the empty dirs, good night
[03:21] <jdfskitz> so when you hit alt+f2 can does it bring up a console
[03:21] <jdfskitz> matrix.
[03:21] <nmatrix9> squinty, my keyboard works with Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS
[03:21] <turdferguson_> #geekblogtv
[03:22] <nmatrix9> squinty, on recuse mode
[03:22] <kxstudio> hello guys! I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm getting the message: trying to overwrite '/etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-13.inch', which is also in package console-setup 1.88
[03:22] <nmatrix9> squinty, the other install cd's use a graphical environment I think that is where the issue is coming from
[03:22] <kxstudio> do you guys know what can it be?
[03:22] <squinty> nmatrix9:  afaik, should work with regular ubuntu then.
[03:23] <squinty> nmatrix9:  are you trying to install or have you already installed and not reaching desktop?
[03:23] <jdfskitz> you might be able to use the lts cd and choose the repair option?
[03:24] <kxstudio> jdfskitz: is that with me? How can I do that?
[03:24] <jdfskitz> kxstudio: whats the problem exactly, just stuck?
[03:24] <k1mmyyy> so i installed windows on my partition i had for windows, but it blorked grub... when i start the machine it just boots straight into windows. but i'm on a ubuntu liveusb, here's my fdisk -l for reference http://paste.ubuntu.com/9600005/
[03:24] <nmatrix9> squinty, it's a long story but I was investigating why monitor is stuck at 800x600,  I've already installed Ubuntu, that is where Iam tying these messages right now, but it seems the issue could be a bigger hardware issue.
[03:24] <k1mmyyy> i just want to reset grub so i can select from windows or ubuntu at boot
[03:24] <nmatrix9> squinty, would you like to see my xorg.0.log?
[03:25] <kxstudio> jdfskitz: yes, it just show that message, and says that I should report the bug etc
[03:25] <jdfskitz> kxstudio: can you continue past the error?
[03:25] <deezed> (sorry, I was using a different id)
[03:25] <squinty> nmatrix9: wife wants me to watch tv.  maybe back later.  :)
[03:25] <deezed> jdfskitz: no I cant
[03:25] <deezed> jdfskitz: it just stops and it closes
[03:26] <jdfskitz> deezed: are you doing a complete format on the harddrive and install
[03:26] <deezed> I googled it and it seems to be a common bug itself
[03:26] <k1mmyyy> can anyone help me with that?
[03:26] <deezed> jdfskitz: not actually. I'm formating just my root partition, I didnt want to format the whole thing
[03:27] <deezed> k1mmyyy: try boot-repair
[03:28] <jdfskitz> deezed: what did you use to make the cd/dvd/boot usb
[03:28] <kjf2015> EriC^^, thanks for your patience, I believe it is working (1071 files so will take a little time)
[03:28] <k1mmyyy> deezed: how can i make sure i do it right?
[03:28] <deezed> jdfskitz: usb boot
[03:28] <deezed> jdfskitz: from the live dvd
[03:29] <jdfskitz> deezed: what app did you use to set up the usbboot
[03:29] <jdfskitz> deezed: it appears that unetbootin can cause that problem.
[03:29] <deezed> k1mmyyy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[03:29] <deezed> jdfskitz: oohh. It was exactly the unetbootin
[03:29] <deezed> uhm, should I try another one?
[03:29] <stef1a> i'm trying to access another computer and am having trouble. it boots up into ubuntu 14.10 and i can log in just fine. but then it just shows the cursor, the desktop, and the ubuntu watermark, and i can't do anything else except switch to a different tty. help?
[03:30] <jdfskitz> deezed: format the usb then use it again to remake the usb
[03:30] <jdfskitz> deezed: especially if you overwrote a previous operating system
[03:30] <jdfskitz> deezed: otherwise you can find a different software.
[03:30] <deezed> jdfskitz: I did exactly this. I overwrote a previous os
[03:30] <jdfskitz> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1241672
[03:31] <jdfskitz> deezed: that's probably your problem :)
[03:31] <deezed> jdfskitz: what's the best way to format a usb properly?
[03:31] <jdfskitz> deezed: do you use windows?
[03:31] <deezed> jdfskitz: no. just linux
[03:32] <jdfskitz> deezed: http://askubuntu.com/questions/22381/how-to-format-a-usb-flash-drive
[03:32] <deezed> jdfskitz: ok then. I'll do it!
[03:33] <deezed> jdfskitz: thank you a lot!
[03:33] <jdfskitz> deezed: glad I can help :)
[03:33] <deezed> jdfskitz: I would never think the issue was about unetbootin and overwriting an os
[03:33] <deezed> its actually funny
[03:34] <Pencil2> I just downloaded 14.04.  I want to load it on another lap top.  What do I do to make it ready to install
[03:34] <deezed> anyway.. I'm gonna try.
[03:34] <deezed> bye
[03:34] <deezed> and ty again
[03:34] <jdfskitz> deezed: good luck
[03:34] <EriC^^> kjf2015: sorry, i just thought of something, if the Genre is made of 2 words, it will stop at the first word, i probably should have ended the grep with ( instead
[03:35] <jdfskitz> Pencil2: put it on a cd/dvd or a usb using something like unetbootin
[03:35] <Pencil2> unetbootin is available on the Softwre Center?
[03:35] <EriC^^> kjf2015: if you do it again use find /path/to/music | while read bla; do cp "$bla" ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l "$bla" | grep -o "Genre:.*(" | awk '{print$2}'); done
[03:35] <jdfskitz> Pencil2: Yes
[03:35] <EriC^^> kjf2015: cheers, have a safe trip tomorrow, bye :)
[03:36] <chris___> can anyone help me figure out why I can't download anything from the software centre?  I'm a noob
[03:36] <jdfskitz> Pencil2: and of course tell the computer you are installing it on to boot from usb
[03:36] <kjf2015> thanks EriC^^ there seems to be another glitch
[03:36] <EriC^^> kjf2015: ?
[03:36] <jdfskitz> chris___: it's probably a permissions error.
[03:36] <Pencil2> Thank you, I'll try
[03:36] <jdfskitz> Pencil2: no problem
[03:36] <kjf2015> EriC^^, while Guayadeque correctly identifies a given song as say Bossa Nova, id3 thinks it is other
[03:37] <kjf2015> EriC^^, so I have 187 "others"
[03:37] <EriC^^> kjf2015: hmm there's also mp3info not sure if it's better than id3 or not though
[03:38] <Deviad> Hello
[03:38] <kjf2015> EriC^^, and no idea why I had 30 or so empty genre directories, since they were created from the id3 genre tag, so by definition there was at least one file with that genre tag??
[03:38] <Deviad> Error executing Dovecot password command: /usr/bin/doveadm pw -s 'cram-md5' -u<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 'password'
[03:38] <Deviad> Can anyone pls help me?
[03:38]  * blackangelpr is away: (@_@) break time!
[03:38] <chris___> Can anyone help me with a basic issue with the software center?
[03:38] <Deviad> When I execute it as a root I have an outpupt
[03:38] <Deviad> If execute it from the webserver trying to log the output the file is empty
[03:39] <EriC^^> kjf2015: no, the dirs were created with the id3 -L | xargs , it just lists all the genres in id3
[03:39] <Deviad> I think it´s a permission issue but I cannot fix it... I tried with chmod and chown but nothing
[03:39] <kjf2015> EriC^^, anyway, taken enough of your time, i think i learned something, but id3 failed us
[03:39] <Deviad> pls help me
[03:39] <Bashing-om> chris___: What release are yoiu on ,  what results -> cat /etc/issue < - ?
[03:39] <kjf2015> EriC^^, ah, ok, there's a lot of them
[03:39] <k1mmyyy> deezed: thanks, i read the link, but which repair do i want? just the recommended repair?
[03:39] <kjf2015> EriC^^, one is "A" !!!
[03:39] <chris___> Im using 13.04 and just trying to get some basic things like Tweak, or Bleachbit
[03:39] <EriC^^> yeah, when find is over use rmdir to remove the empty ones
[03:39] <EriC^^> rmdir *
[03:40] <EriC^^> lol
[03:40] <chris___> even if I download these things directly I get one of 2 errors:
[03:40] <chris___> Failed to download repository information
[03:40] <Bashing-om> chris___: No, no , no ... 13.04 is End-Of-Life and is no longer supported. Install a current release, please.
[03:40] <FSK405C> 2010 macbook pro + *buntu = facemelt, just saying.
[03:40] <Andorin> I downloaded 14.04.1 and put it on a USB drive with unetbootin. When I try to boot from the USB drive it says bootmgr is missing, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.
[03:40] <Crell> Hi folks. I am doing a fresh install of 14.10 Server, and running into this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd-shim/+bug/1359439 .  There are some workarounds suggested in the thread, but messing with upstart vs. systemd seems... problematic.  Is that something I should try messing with, or should I fall back and just install 14.04 instead? (Home server, nothing too exciting.)
[03:41] <Deviad> Thank you guys for your gr8 help...
[03:41] <Bashing-om> chris___: The software repository for 13.04 no longer exist as you know them .
[03:41] <nmatrix9> That's not right why do I get the feeling either Xrandr is lying to me or my monitor is busted up.  I did a xrandr -q and it's telling me my monitor is only capable of 800x600
[03:41] <chris___> OK
[03:42] <chris___> I was trying a lot of old suggestions, thanks
[03:43] <Bashing-om> chris___: Though one may release-upgrade online .. easier/safer to do a clean fresh install of say 14.04 .
[03:44] <chris___> is a fresh install possible without losing files?
[03:44] <k1mmyyy> ok brb trying boot repair recommended
[03:45] <k1mmyyy> definitely a bad idea?
[03:45] <Crell> chris___: If you have files on different partitions than /, maybe, sometimes.
[03:45] <Bashing-om> chris___: Depends, if you have a separate /home directory on the 13.04 install .
[03:45] <Crell> But make backups first anyway.
[03:46] <chris___> I do
[03:46] <chris___> Backups are in progress
[03:46] <chris___> thanks
[03:47] <Crell> If I try to replace upstart with systemd, how much trouble am I going to get into?
[03:48] <Bashing-om> chris___: 20 minutes (with practice) and one is back up on the new release .. piece of cake .
[03:48] <Stanley00> Crell: just wait then? I heard that new ubuntu version will switch to systemd too, after debian
[03:48] <Crell> Stanley00: They're dropping upstart?
[03:48] <EriC^^> kjf2015: it's cause of the awk part, it takes only the second column, this should fix it id3 -L | cut -d" " -f2- | xargs mkdir
[03:49] <Crell> It's not something I want to so per se. It's been suggested as the workaround for a bug in 14.10.
[03:49] <Crell> I'm debating that vs. switching to 14.04.
[03:49] <k1mmyyy> ahhh i'm afraid, can anyone tell me if the recommended repair in boot-repair is the right idea?
[03:49] <Bashing-om> Crell: Point: 14.04 has support for 5 years .
[03:51] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: hang on a bit, let me look up your parted output .. brb .
[03:51] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: here it is
[03:52] <k1mmyyy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9600005/
[03:52] <Crell> Bashing-om: True.  Which is a strike in its favor.
[03:53] <Pencil2> I hv 14.04 downloaded.  I installed unetbootin.  I dont know how to tell unetbootin to use my download.
[03:54] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: I have both windows and ubuntu installed right now but it's just booting straight into windows, I want the choice of the grub window
[03:56] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: Which partition (sda5/6/7) is ubuntu's root installed to ? and we do the grub re(install) if you are not sure, we go hunting .
[03:57] <blackangelpr> Pencil2, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/using-unetbootin-to-create-a-linux-usb-from-linux/
[03:57] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: sda5 is boot, sda6 is root, sda7 is home, sda8 is swap
[03:57]  * blackangelpr is away: (@_@) break time!
[04:01] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: so just do the grub reinstall, the default recommended repair?
[04:03] <k1mmyyy> OK HERE I GOOOOOO
[04:03] <crazyhorse> hey i formatted a usb and i don't have write permissions to it by default
[04:03] <crazyhorse> only root has write permissions.. how can i create a usb stick that will work in any computer
[04:04] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: From the liveDVD(USB), terminal commands: -> sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot , sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda , sudo umount /mnt .  Reboot into the install of ubuntu. now run in installed terminal, the command -> sudo update-grub .
[04:04] <Pencil2> I downloaded 14.04 and I want to make a bootable cd/dvd to install on another dead machine.
[04:06] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: ok, so no boot-repair?
[04:07] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: Boot-repair is an excellent tool, used properly. I have rarly seen a bad result when used on systems with one hard drive installed. The choice is yours .
[04:08] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: i'll go with yours :)
[04:08] <k1mmyyy> brb
[04:10] <nmatrix9> Anyone know how to change the ViewPortOut in the Nvidia-Settings gui tool?
[04:10] <nmatrix9> Mine keeps reverting to 800x600 no matter what I do.
[04:13] <andrewXubuntu> Hello, can anyone say if it's possible to correct a mistake that I did with FDISK?
[04:14] <nmatrix9> andrewXubuntu, What type of mistake?
[04:15] <BoomerBile> hmm, so this is where milan is from
[04:15] <Bashing-om> andrewXubuntu: ^^ maybe, http://www.rodsbooks.com/missing-parts/index.html <- tutorial/tools to fix partitions.
[04:15] <BoomerBile> he just pinged me, then attempted a DCC file transfer of 0 bytes
[04:16] <BoomerBile> make sure your client won't auto accept dcc file transfers i guess
[04:17] <andrewXubuntu> nmatrix9,  So I was installing xubuntu on my machine which already had windows xp, so I shrink the partition with success, and then I use FDISK to re-write the partition, the problem is, my old partition started at 63 but on the new I only can choose 2048, maybe this is a problem?
[04:17] <andrewXubuntu> Bashing-om, I'll see this link!
[04:18] <nmatrix9> andrewXubuntu, Did you lose any data?
[04:19] <andrewXubuntu> nmatrix9, I can see my old partition, well I have some backups, but I want to know if it's possible to fix this mess! :)
[04:20] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: sorry one more question -- it says "mount point /mnt/boot does not exist"... should i create a /mnt/boot directory or just mount it to /mnt?
[04:20] <nmatrix9> andrewXubuntu, Actually if you mean recover some data then yes I think it is possible, use Testdisk.  Also Ubuntu has a utility for resizing partitions graphically I'd try that if I were you.  That's after you fix your issue.
[04:21] <gshmu> Can i using my android phone as a video driver under ubuntu?
[04:22] <Pencil2> Can I order ubuntu on a cd/dvd to install on a dead machine.?
[04:22] <gshmu> some years ago, I can do it under XP
[04:23] <andrewsullivan> #canonical
[04:23] <Pencil2> I'd like to just get a boot disk  to install ubuntu from.
[04:23] <andrewsullivan> #sales
[04:24] <gshmu> Pencil2: Download the LiveCD ISO and using unetbootin
[04:24] <gshmu> Pencil2: it's easy create boot usb driver
[04:24] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: What command did you execute ? should work as is . " sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot" I am aware that there is a problem that I ahve not investiageted to see if it is significanr " /dev/sda5       167143424   167553580      205078+  83  Linux" that '+' says there is a problem .
[04:25] <Pencil2> gshmu - I downoaded the 14.04 but don't know the process to creat the usb.
[04:25] <Bashing-om> significant*
[04:25] <Pencil2> create
[04:25] <gshmu> The UltraISO didn't work!!!
[04:25] <gshmu> Using unetbootin
[04:25] <gshmu> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[04:26] <gshmu> Pencil2: using unetbootin or http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[04:26] <Pencil2> gshmu - unetbootin is installed and when I launch it wants to download over the net.   don't know how to tell it to use my download.

[04:28] <gshmu> Pencil2: Diskimage radio
[04:29] <gshmu> Pencil2: Ensure you choice the usb drive...
[04:30] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: i don't think it worked... it brought me to a grub CLI
[04:36] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: UUHH, I think I see what fdisk is screamming and hollering about, and it do appear to be significant . comapare " /dev/sda3       167143422   976773119 " to: "/dev/sda7       218757120   976773119 " ... The '976773119'; cannot have 2 partitons occuping the same space .
[04:37] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: huh, what's the deal with that...
[04:38] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: You tell me. I do not recall seeing that earlier . What ya been doing to your partitions ?
[04:38] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: ah, taking a look at gparted explains it
[04:39] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: sda5, 6, 7, 8 are all within sda3
[04:39] <k1mmyyy> is that bad?
[04:42] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: Which shoud be fine .. sda5,6,7,8 are logical partitons to be contained in that 'extended' partition sda3 . I am the one who is tired and not think'n to good . sda7 in in that expanse encompassed by the extended partiton sda3 . no problem there .
[04:42] <Pencil2> I see. I have to tell it my download file.
[04:43] <Deviad> Error executing Dovecot password command: /usr/bin/doveadm pw -s 'cram-md5' -u<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 'password'
[04:43] <Deviad> Still no luck...
[04:43] <Deviad> this is simply crazy
[04:43] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: ah, yeah. so i'm guessing i should've changed one of the commands you said to be sda3 or something right? but which
[04:44] <Deviad> Is it possible that I am the only person in the world with this issue?
[04:44] <k1mmyyy> also, i don't see --root-directory as an option in the grub-install manpage...
[04:44] <Deviad> Placing chmod 755 anywhere does not fix the issue...
[04:47] <jokowidodol> hi guys
[04:47] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: here's what i did: sudo mkdir /mnt/boot,  sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot, sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda, sudo umount /mnt/boot, then rebooted
[04:47] <k1mmyyy> sda5 is my ubuntu boot partition, so is that right?
[04:51] <k1mmyyy> ahh, i'm pretty confused... i have a 200mb partition, sda5, that i think is my boot partition, and a 22GB partition that i think is my root
[04:52] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: One need not make the directory as the mount command line will do that .  But I do not think 'mkdir' will cause any harm or impedence . But like I have said I am tired and not think'n to good, tough when one has to force the thought process. I had best quit for this session. IF you are carefull with boot-repair It might fix the issue , Boot-repair is good . Just make sure it is going to install grub to sda ,
[04:52] <Pencil2> ok so no matter what i did i couldn't get unetbootin to use the download I had so its downloading a new copy.
[04:52] <k1mmyyy> Bashing-om: ok, thanks
[04:54] <Bashing-om> k1mmyyy: The commands you enter, look good and I had expected them to work . IF required at a later time we can go deeper, CHange Root and purge all of grub and install all files from scratch.  We can fix if there is a problem .. CHange Root can and is a life saver ,

[06:18] <ubuntunovice> I have just installed lubuntu 15.04 on my friend's computer at his home, which is connected to his ISP with DHCP, so no fixed IP address
[06:18] <ubuntunovice> but how can I remotely administer his computer from my computer across the internet?
[06:19] <somsip> !info teamviewer | ubuntunovice
[06:20] <somsip> ubuntunovice: teamviewer may be worth looking at. Maybe it's not in the repos anymore though
[06:20] <ubuntunovice> teamviewer?  I have a look now
[06:20] <ubuntunovice> my computer is also connected to a different ISP with DHCP
[06:20] <somsip> ubuntunovice: makes no difference
[06:20] <squinty> not in 14.04 either
[06:21] <bkio> Help! I forgot the last 2 chars of my ssh key. Is there a way to enter passphrase via parameter instead of prompt? I'd like to automate the trials.
[06:21] <somsip> ubuntunovice: then I'd clarify - it's not maybe the best or safest way of sharing a desktop, but it might work for what you need
[06:21] <squinty> should have deb at website if I remember correctly though
[06:21] <ubuntunovice> somsip: do you mean: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx
[06:21] <somsip> squinty: yeah - messed up weird thing that installs into wine from memory...
[06:21] <somsip> ubuntunovice: yes
[06:22] <ubuntunovice> i c......
[06:22] <ubuntunovice> somsip: but would landscape do the same job?  or is landscape too big?  the other thing is I don't want to pay
[06:23] <somsip> !info landscape
[06:23] <squinty> somsip:  been a while since I last used it but quite honestly I don't remember any big problems installing using it... but yes, you are right there is still a Wine component to it.
[06:23] <somsip> ubuntunovice: AIUI that's more of a cloud management tool
[06:24] <somsip> squinty: yeah - about 6 years for me too. It does the job, but I was happier when I didn't have to use it anymore
[06:25] <somsip> squinty: but mostly because the client used to get me to TM to his machine so he could spend hours drawing complicated PowerPoint presentations to communicatge trivial concepts to me. So maybe my view of TM is coloured by the interminable boredom I experienced when using it.
[06:26] <somsip> ubuntunovice: so as a quick solution, it's probably still a decent way of doign what you want
[06:26] <bilegt> How to configure mouse stickiness when traversing between external monitor?
[06:26] <squinty> somsip:  lol!  wonderful... must have made your day  not!  :)
[06:26] <somsip> squinty: he was a challenging client. Still - all in the past now.
[06:27] <ubuntunovice> somsip: so you mean TM is a quick solution, right?
[06:28] <ubuntunovice> somsip: but suppose if my friend asks me to remotely upgrade his distribution, say from 15.04 to 15.10, then would you still do it through TM?
[06:28] <squinty> ubuntunovice:  afaik, teamviewer is free to use for personal use.
[06:29] <somsip> ubuntunovice: from when I used it, it allowed me to observe and interact with of users' desktops no matter how they were connected to the internet. So it might work for you too. Next question - probaly just need to use the same version of TM. Personally I wouldn't upgrade a friend's PC to a version of an OS that is beta, or even non-existent
[06:30] <ubuntunovice> somsip: I mean at the end of next year, not now
[06:31] <somsip> ubuntunovice: <pedant>You mean the end of *next* year?</pedant> It's your call. Nothing inherently dangerous about doing it per se. I'd just avoid risking messing up a friends PC
[06:31] <ubuntunovice> somsip: at the moment, I put 15.04 beta on my friends's computer, which I plan to regularly run apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade until 15.04 final version is released.  This is fine.  However, by November next year, I may upgrade his distribution to 15.10
[06:31] <somsip> ubuntunovice: sorry - you said next year. Excuse me
[06:31] <squinty> ubuntunovice:  might want to consider that a user who can't do their own upgrades probably shouldn't/won't want to be using a non lts version.
[06:32] <somsip> ubuntunovice: yeah - what you've done doesn't come across as a friendly thing to do as such. Give him something stable at least
[06:32] <ubuntunovice> I know....... but there are some features that he really needs that only exists on 15.04
[06:33] <ubuntunovice> otherwise I would have put 14.04 on his computer
[06:33] <sarath_> ubuntunovice: what kind of features?
[06:33] <somsip> ubuntunovice: then it is how it is and you must do as you must do. My opinion doesn't affect the outcome so I'm adding nothing here
[06:33] <Ben64> ubuntunovice: 15.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 until release
[06:34]  * squinty 's always says when he begs for a new toy  "needs or wants??"    :P
[06:35] <somsip> sq
[06:36] <somsip> squinty: heh :)
[06:36] <somsip> HerroWorlds: you can run a few low volume WP blgs on a t1.micro. And yes, WP is sucky in many ways
[06:36] <HerroWorlds> WP.com is sucky? or wp.com
[06:37] <somsip> HerroWorlds: WP has it's limitations, but for simply use it does the job. If you mean hosting on wp.com, I've no idea
[06:38] <HerroWorlds> somsip: my main concern is that installing a lamp on my e2 server will expose my server to possible sec flaws
[06:38] <Ben64> yeah, wordpress has flaws sometimes
[06:38] <somsip> HerroWorlds: yes, it will. But installing anything on anything connected to the net exposes security flaws.
[06:38] <HerroWorlds> currently my server runs 2 different servers for client server apps off port 81/82
[06:38] <HerroWorlds> =
[06:39] <somsip> HerroWorlds: so start up another one and compartmentalise. You can secure it as best you can, but it's an endless battle really.
[06:39] <HerroWorlds> =O, somsip i am scareded of the intermet!
[06:40] <somsip> HerroWorlds: all in seriouesnesslessness, it's an appropriate feeling nowadays. Hosting sites is not the easy game it once was. But if it's a simple site with no user data stored, you'll make for a boring target.
[06:40] <HerroWorlds> err that will cost money lol, i can only run 1 e2 instance for free
[06:40] <somsip> HerroWorlds: t1.micro is about $14 per month. But your call - I offered a solution
[06:40] <HerroWorlds> and i mean im not in any of it for profit, i just want to help spread information about my failed attempts at programing!
[06:41] <HerroWorlds> somsip, i think i will try and get it running all nicly on my current free instance then one it is configured and running cleaning, if i acutally start getting traffic, i will port it over to a new one
[06:41] <HerroWorlds> ty for the info :P
[06:42] <somsip> HerroWorlds: sounds a fair approach. Look at Fail2Ban would be my hint for free
[06:42] <HerroWorlds> a different question, is there any danger in leaving port 22 open for my e2 instance?
[06:42] <HerroWorlds> my access ip changes a lot so it is a pain to have to reenable my ip
[06:43] <somsip> HerroWorlds: if you have root login available with passwords, then there will be danger. Use no root login and keys only and it's safe. Use F2B to catch persistent port probers and cross your fingers
[06:43] <somsip> HerroWorlds: I used to use security by obfuscation on port 22 but gave in and now just take the hits.
[06:43] <HerroWorlds> somsip, by default i think the only way to access the ssh is through a key  but it is root access
[06:44] <somsip> HerroWorlds: default shold be PermitRootLogin NO!!!! and no password login
[06:44] <HerroWorlds> it would be nice if i could just ban all ip adresses except for the ones from my country
[06:44] <somsip> !ufw | HerroWorlds
[06:44] <HerroWorlds> or even just from my city lol
[06:45] <HerroWorlds> ubottu: cool i'l check it out and i think i used it way back when when i had my server hosted in my own house but right now i am using the amazon firewall which seems fairly effective and user friendly :P
[06:45] <HerroWorlds> lolololol
[06:46] <somsip> HerroWorlds: yes, you could use Security Groups and only allow your ISPs CIDR to connect on 22
[06:46] <somsip> HerroWorlds: but it's a pain if you get the CIDR wrong, or if it changes...though that's less likely
[06:47] <HerroWorlds> somsip: if i set PermitRootLogin to no, am i still able to gain root access through ssh?
[06:47] <somsip> HerroWorlds: no, you login as ubutnu (usually, depending on your AMI) then sudo for root
[06:48] <somsip> *ubuntu
[06:48] <HerroWorlds> ahhhh i see
[06:48] <HerroWorlds> why cant people just be nice and not try to hack me!
[06:48] <HerroWorlds> just use my websites and client server apps how they are ment to be use!!!
[06:48] <HerroWorlds> used*
[06:49] <somsip> HerroWorlds: you're not really cut out for server admin perhaps...
[06:49] <ianorlin> although using a username that is not in their dictionary when they attack is nice
[06:49] <HerroWorlds> lololol, not until i become a l33t hackzor
[06:49] <HerroWorlds> so the default ubuntu username is no good lol?
[06:50] <HerroWorlds> those were both joking questions but in all seriousness, if i change my account
[06:50] <ianorlin> most seem to be random just people names so if you chooose something nonstandard as username and set ssh keys with fail2ban I don't think they will even get the right username
[06:50] <somsip> HerroWorlds: it makes no difference with key-only login. Disable WP admin login and don't use the same main user as any author that appears on articles. But this is off-topic general hardening advice. If you want to be careful, ot really never ends. Until you get a job at Sony, then you can forget it all.
[06:50] <HerroWorlds> will my init daemons still work and also will i need to create a new key?
[06:50] <ianorlin> might make it a little harder but ssh keys
[06:50] <ianorlin> is more important
[06:51] <ianorlin> because 4k for the key is much longer than your username
[06:51] <HerroWorlds> @ somsip lolololol OH GOD WHAT IF KIM JONG IL TRYIES TO HACKZOR ME!!!!!!
[06:52] <HerroWorlds> @ianorlin okay i am in the process of reading about fail2 ban right now
[06:54] <somsip> HerroWorlds: WP and F2B http://blog.somsip.com/2012/02/using-fail2ban-to-protect-wordpress/
[06:55] <HerroWorlds> ieeyyy
[06:56] <HerroWorlds> ty but wow, nothing is easy anymore, went from working through my new cpp book to 20 hours of trying to set up a secure option to post my progress in a nice blog about my book in a secure manor
[06:57] <HerroWorlds> oops said secure twice, ignore last 4 words of that
[06:57] <somsip> HerroWorlds: Down the rabbit hole...
[06:58]  * ianorlin though nothing is easy is a jethro tull song
[06:59] <HerroWorlds> at least amazon has a really nice free option for people to play with servers :-D
[06:59] <HerroWorlds> saves me 40 bucks a month in power
[07:00] <guo> hi
[07:02] <HerroWorlds> heloa
[07:06] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[07:11] <samthewildone> True story, I play a lot of games on 14.04 and the open source driver doesn't perform all that well. Long story short, I switched between open source and closed and their wasn't much difference. I don't know what happened along the process of going back and forth but, my desktop is acting weird. Weird in a sense of graphical glitches when double clicking windows and they disappear for a brief moment until I do some random cli
[07:11] <samthewildone> cking. It's become to the point where its pretty annoying. I tried to revert the drivers to default but, seems like the system has borked over.
[07:12] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: what grafix card and driver loaded plz?
[07:13] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, HD7700 & the drivers from the system software application.
[07:13] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: lshw -C video
[07:14] <samthewildone> http://pastebin.com/BkkQ8vg3
[07:14] <lotuspsychje> tnx lemme see
[07:15] <samthewildone> np
[07:15] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, the struggles are real :|
[07:15] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: so this driver=fglrx_pci was the one ubuntu default choose?
[07:15] <samthewildone> nope this is the prop
[07:15] <HerroWorlds> @somsip isnt sonys main issue that they have so many employees that require root access to their server?
[07:16] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: did you install 14.04 with cable on/updates on?
[07:16] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, "fglrx (proprietary)"
[07:16] <somsip> HerroWorlds: that's way offtopic here. I know I got a bit offtopic earlier, but best to keep on support only here
[07:16] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, not sure what you mean can you elab ?
[07:16] <dexter_> Hello.. is there any way to have the unity launcher an top panel even in fullscreen vidoe playing/or applications?
[07:16] <HerroWorlds> awww lol okay
[07:16] <HerroWorlds> thats to bad
[07:17] <HerroWorlds> i just want to learn lol
[07:17] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: the first time you installed ubuntu, did you have internet access and updates enabled at setup?
[07:17] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, yes
[07:17] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, also the default driver was the first option
[07:17] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: clean install or upgrade from other version?
[07:18] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, so if you mean, what was the first driver selected by default it was the the open source option.
[07:18] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, clean like bleach
[07:18] <lotuspsychje> okay
[07:18] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, this is about a 2 month old install
[07:18] <samthewildone> 1 or 2
[07:18] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: normally the driver ubuntu chooses is best to use (not always)
[07:18] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: so that driver didnt workout well for you?
[07:19] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, believe it or not, both are pretty bad.
[07:19] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[07:19] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, the default driver has some glitches in games but, the prop has glitches in game to.
[07:19] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: there are pages howto tweak steam performance on your ubuntu
[07:19] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, here's the funny thing man
[07:19] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, when I'm not gaming and working I sometime get window glitches
[07:20] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, this is my main gripe, as I can live with the in game glitches. When it comes to doing my work... not so much.
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: glitches in desktop are not normal indeed..
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: maybe dig into your syslog and dmesg for errors about grafix
[07:20] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, let me give u a screenshot of the common glitch which I'm able to replicate.
[07:21] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: what i would do, is again install 14.04.1 fresh, internet/updates on and tweak your system for gaming performance
[07:22] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: check this out mate: http://www.howtogeek.com/132549/6-tips-for-improving-game-performance-with-steam-on-linux/
[07:22] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: also install preload, tweak your swappiness, bleachbit your system
[07:23] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, http://goo.gl/ZDL1Ft
[07:23] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, i'll give you 5secs to see the glitch
[07:23] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: :p
[07:24] <amar> hi
[07:24] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, you see it
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: i remember havind issues on ati cards with xorg-server, kernel update fixxed this
[07:24] <samthewildone> amar, sup
[07:24] <xangua> samthewildone: what icon is that
[07:24] <samthewildone> xangua, numix circle
[07:25] <samthewildone> xangua, https://numixproject.org/
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> nice icons indeed
[07:25] <samthewildone> thx
[07:26] <samthewildone> pretty bland desktop atm...mostly working
[07:26] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: wanna try all tricks?
[07:26] <kostkon> samthewildone, have you by any chance played with ccsm recently
[07:26] <samthewildone> kostkon, not that I remembered
[07:26] <kostkon> samthewildone, ok
[07:26] <samthewildone> I'm coming from the gnome ubuntu 14.04
[07:27] <samthewildone> which was a glitch haven
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: did you upgrade to ubuntu desktop from gnome?
[07:27] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, no
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> kk
[07:27] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, I never upgrade
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> good
[07:27] <kostkon> samthewildone, was it a clean unity install or not?
[07:27] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, almost 90% of my work is in the cloud
[07:27] <samthewildone> kostkon, clean like bleach
[07:27] <kostkon> samthewildone, ok ok :P
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: system up to date also?
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> 14.04.1?
[07:28] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, yes
[07:28] <samthewildone> lotuspsychje, I might just do a clean install again.
[07:28] <lotuspsychje> samthewildone: yes, i reccomend
[07:28] <samthewildone> given this is an ssd
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> oh lol wich one
[07:29] <samthewildone> it takes literally like 5 minutes.
[07:29] <samthewildone> my main drive
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> ssd brand?
[07:29] <kostkon> samthewildone, you could always try resetting unity/compiz
[07:29] <samthewildone> seaget
[07:29] <samthewildone> or something like that
[07:29] <lotuspsychje> seagate
[07:29] <samthewildone> kostkon, Im open to new ideas, how do I do that ?
[07:29] <samthewildone> kostkon, I get some error screaming about compiz all the time to.
[07:30] <kostkon> samthewildone, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
[07:30]  * samthewildone braces for impact
[07:30] <kostkon> samthewildone, hopefully you've kept a copy of your icon and desktop themes since you'll need to re-apply them :P
[07:31] <samthewildone> this hot coco is way to darn sweet man.
[07:31] <samthewildone> i think its the marshmallows
[07:34] <magnetik> Hi
[07:34] <magnetik> Is that normal that resolvconf is not installed directly on my ubuntu 14.04 server?
[07:35] <lotuspsychje> !info resolvconf
[07:35] <ikonia> magnetik: installed directly ?
[07:35] <magnetik> it's not installed out of the box?
[07:35] <magnetik> I had to install it
[07:35] <ikonia> ahh yes
[07:36] <ikonia> resolvconf is basically the dynamic config for dnsmasq I believe
[07:36] <ikonia> without it, it goes back to the legacy use of /etc/resolv/.conf
[07:36] <ikonia> resolv.conf
[07:37] <magnetik> Yep, but it was not in the "default" ubuntu install ?
[07:37] <ikonia> no, because dnynamic DNS and use of dnsmasq is not really the norm on servers
[07:37] <ikonia> dynamic resolvers I mean
[07:37] <magnetik> ho okay, thanks
[07:47] <dexter_> any one?
[07:47] <ikonia> anyone what ?
[07:48] <adam_dddd> I have updated mysql. And now I can't install mysql-workbench with apt-get command. they said that it's a bug. and they also said that I should download mysql-workbench from the official website: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/. but there is no version for ubuntu 14 32bit. is there anyway to install 64-bit on a 32-bit OS? Where can I find a 32-bit mysql-workbench package?
[07:48] <dexter_> is there any way to have the unity launcher and top panel even in fullscreen video playing/or applications?
[07:48] <dexter_> ikonia
[07:48] <ikonia> dexter_: I don't think so, otherwise it's not full screen
[07:48] <ikonia> adam_dddd: whos is "they"
[07:49] <ikonia> adam_dddd: where did you install mysql from ?
[07:49] <aleritty> Hello Everyone. I'm Installing 14.10 and my UEFI is acting weirdly! I follow the guides, reboot in the new system and everyting is ok, at the second reboot (every time the second one) the laptop dosen't boot with the "no boot media" error! I do boot repair, reboot and it works... second reboot: Boom. Have you any clue that can help me please? (I ha
[07:49] <aleritty> ve the  boot repair reports)
[07:50] <adam_dddd> iknoia: they means: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-workbench/+bug/1287424 . with sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.6
[07:51] <ikonia> adam_dddd: what version of ubuntu are you using ?
[07:51] <ikonia> !info mysql-server-5.6 trusty
[07:51] <adam_dddd> it's 14.04.
[07:52] <ikonia> adam_dddd: ok, so the problem is that you are using a package from universe, to install a later version of mysql-server, but the mysql workbench package is linked (depends) upon the mysql-5-5 client version from the main repo
[07:54] <adam_dddd> ikonia: So, what is the solution?
[07:54] <ikonia> adam_dddd: I guess the first question for me is, why are you using mysql-server-5-6 instead of the 5-5 install from the default repos
[07:55] <adam_dddd> because It has a problem.
[07:55] <kop> I need to run <pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover> just after boot but "conventional" means arn't working . Options please ?
[07:55] <ikonia> adam_dddd: what problem
[07:56] <adam_dddd> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4489548/why-there-can-be-only-one-timestamp-column-with-current-timestamp-in-default-cla
[07:56] <hariom> How to check if upstart script is without syntax errors?
[07:57] <ikonia> !info mysql-server-5-6
[07:57] <adam_dddd> ikoni: sorry. what is !info mysql-server-5-6?
[07:57] <ikonia> adam_dddd: ok, so if you have a requirement for 5-6 which if you need two timestamp columns it looks like you do,
[07:58] <ikonia> adam_dddd: the answer would be wait for ubuntu to fix the dependency problem with the package (you can help by chasing/helping the team) or using an unsupported place to get a version that does not have the dependency on the 5-5 client
[08:00] <ikonia> adam_dddd: if you read that stackoverflow problem in detail you'll see there are ways to use 2 timestamps in mysql 5-5 too
[08:00] <ikonia> you have to read down beyond the first 3 lines though
[08:02] <adam_dddd> ikonia: I prefer to use the 5.5 one. Great support. Thank you. :)
[08:12] <Lucax> Hey and hello
[08:12] <eshadow> hi
[08:12] <hello_> helnlo
[08:12] <hello_> hello
[08:13] <eshadow> sup?
[08:13] <Lucax> After I installed pepperflash I can play youtube videos again, that is great but now youtube seem to block every second video I play
[08:13] <Lucax> what to do?
[08:14] <eshadow> well would say youtube works fine in firefox
[08:14] <eshadow> and chrome
[08:15] <Lucax> I havent tried chrome yet
[08:15] <Lucax> perhaps it works better there, is it common that pepper work better in chrome?
[08:16] <eshadow> probably you should try it
[08:17] <Seveas> Lucax: tell youtube to play html5 videos :)
[08:17] <eshadow> lol
[08:18] <cfhowlett> flash is on the way out. html5 is the future.  plan for it.
[08:19] <Seveas> cfhowlett: and youtube does html5 just fine. I uninstalled flash months ago :)
[08:19] <cfhowlett> Seveas, indeed

[08:50] <ubuntunovice> somsip: Thanks!  I have just got TM working on both my friend's machine and my machine.  It just does the job perfectly
[08:52] <somsip> ubuntunovice: np
[08:53] <ubuntunovice> somsip:  though from 16.04 onwards, I will keep it LTS only for my friend, and also when I upgrade distro for him I will be at his site, just don't trust the TM.....
[08:54] <somsip> ubuntunovice: makes sense
[08:55] <thorie> how do i select between two wifi adapters?
[08:57] <thorie> nevermind i found it
[08:59] <rzeka> I did setfacl, now I wanted to remove it so I did 'setfacl -x u:git /home' but, when I do 'ls -l' I still have '+' after permissions. How can I get rid of it forever?
[09:01] <shiggitay> hello... I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.10 on my BayTrail tablet (I had it installed but then I decided to reinstall something else) and now I cannot boot up properly. As I closely watch the progress of the installation, I see that Grub doesn't install properly, or at least not ot the right partition. Could anyone help me resolve this? It's getting aggravating >_>
[09:02] <shiggitay> Do I want Grub to install to my root partition or to /boot aka my EFI System Partition?
[09:09] <thorie> shiggitay: not sure about baytrail, but on my mac i used EFI
[09:10] <ikonia> mac EFI setup is different than a standard PC
[09:10] <ikonia> and I have no idea what the tablet is configured to use
[09:10] <shiggitay> my UEFI partition is /dev/mmcblk0p1
[09:10] <shiggitay> I've installed Grub there but it still won't boot
[09:11] <polaatx> Hello, I am trying to recover a USB stick backup of my Ubuntu home folder into a new install of Lubuntu. But Lubuntu fails to read the files. Keeps saying: Error opening directory '/media/reza/New Volume': Permission denied.  I can see the folder I had backedup.
[09:20] <Gr4cchus> just another late night @ 3:20am on ubuntu mate shiggitay
[09:20] <shiggitay> cool
[09:21] <shiggitay> 4:20AM lol here
[09:21] <Gr4cchus> haha...
[09:21] <shiggitay> Gr4cchus, Central US/Canada I take it? ;)
[09:21] <Gr4cchus> yeah the mid-west
[09:21] <shiggitay> kewl
[09:21] <shiggitay> which state?
[09:21] <polaatx> Now I want to replace the folder 'reza' in my home directory with 'reza' directory on the USB stick. Should I drag and drop? I might sound stupid but I've made so many mistakes I rather ask first.
[09:22] <Gr4cchus> the great state of Iowa, wbu?
[09:22] <shiggitay> ha
[09:22] <shiggitay> MA
[09:22] <shiggitay> Boston area
[09:22] <shiggitay> :)
[09:22] <Gr4cchus> nice
[09:23] <shiggitay> and wtf... the install is frozen on copying files... 18%
[09:23] <Gr4cchus> What state and city is MIT @?
[09:23] <shiggitay> frickin' thing
[09:23] <shiggitay> Cambridge, MA
[09:23] <shiggitay> I don't live far from there
[09:23] <Gr4cchus> is that a big place?
[09:23] <shiggitay> ehhh it's an area of Boston
[09:24] <Gr4cchus> University of Iowa and Iowa state are like their own small city. This is why i ask.
[09:24] <shiggitay> ah heh
[09:25] <shiggitay> hmm maybe my EFI partition was f'd up
[09:25] <shiggitay> hmmmm
[09:25] <ikonia> shiggitay: can you please stop trying to hide swearing
[09:25] <ikonia> just talk without trying to use bad language
[09:25] <shiggitay> k sorry
[09:25] <ikonia> thanks
 okay, It looks like dragging and dropping is working. Thanks again. Total newbie. Spent at least 2 hours searching for answers online until you helped.
[09:26] <Gr4cchus> By a chance have any knowledge on disk management software like gparted?
[09:27] <Gr4cchus> i went through the gparted website and some of the stuff seems outdated or reference to wikipedia articles?
[09:27] <ikonia> Gr4cchus: why don't you just ask your question
[09:27] <ikonia> rather than asking people to guess if they know enough to help you
[09:28] <Gr4cchus> i dont really have a question. I orginally went to the website for documentation on how to use the command line cause when i was messing with kvm and tried using gparted gui it seems like it wasnt working well
[09:28] <ikonia> Gr4cchus: so what are you asking then ?
[09:28] <Gr4cchus> then i stumbled on an article on gparted about sectors, cylinders, head and stuff about how ide's work and thought that would be cool to read about how all that stuff worked but it was just so dated.
[09:29] <ikonia> so what ar eyou asking ?
[09:33] <Gr4cchus> hmm. are there any forums or irc channels for people kinda just learning? it seems like theres only this but its in the format of ask a question and get and answer and thats it.
[09:33] <Gr4cchus> it would be awsome if there was something like the website meetup but for a virtual type format.
[09:33] <ObrienDave> hmmmm, last time i checked, hard drives still use tracks, sectors, clusters, heads and cylinders. like 30 seconds ago lol
[09:34] <ikonia> Gr4cchus: I'm still waiting to hear what you actually want ?
[09:34] <ikonia> as in what is the information you are missing
[09:34] <Gr4cchus> lol yeah your right, im not sure what the article was getting at cause it was a little confusing what they were getting at. Basically it was for troubleshooting outdated tech.
[09:35] <Gr4cchus> ikonia u just answered thanks.
[09:35] <Rory> !ot | Gr4cchus
[09:36] <ObrienDave> dang, ikonia, you're good ;P
[09:36] <Gr4cchus> obrienDave :D
[09:38] <Gr4cchus> ubuntu is so cool, what would i have without it? linux mint? fedora 21?
[09:39] <swizgard> hi. am i the only one for who comodo's essentialSSL certificates don't check out in firefox?

[09:48] <Gr4cchus> thats like fringe
[10:00] <thorie> how can i check if a .deb is compatible with Ubuntu?
[10:01] <thorie> i keep getting this error: dpkg-deb: error: `fglrx_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb' is not a debian format archive
[10:04] <Infrabyte> @thorie: The .deb package could be corrupt
[10:04] <Infrabyte> or damaged
[10:05] <thorie> i got it from the official site: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu%20x86%2064
[10:05] <thorie> are these known to be bad .deb files?
[10:08] <Infrabyte> No, they should be ok. To test, as root, make a tmp folder and try to extract the deb file
[10:08] <Infrabyte> dpkg-deb -R original.deb tmp
[10:09] <Infrabyte> if it extracts ok then the file contents are ok
[10:09] <Infrabyte> you can then re-create the deb
[10:09] <thorie> dpkg-deb: error: `fglrx_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01.deb' is not a debian format archive
[10:10] <Infrabyte> I take it this is the drivers for an ATI Graphics card
[10:11] <Infrabyte> The file you downloaded is corrupted/bad download
[10:11] <thorie> yeah oh i think i figured it out
[10:11] <thorie> chrome was stopping the download at 10 mb
[10:11] <thorie> weird... firefox got the whole 52 mb
[10:11] <Infrabyte> cool
[10:11] <thorie> thanks Infrabyte
[10:11] <Infrabyte> no prob
[10:19] <Infrabyte> i

[10:23] <HerroWorlds> hey how do i get a url like
[10:24] <HerroWorlds>  git@bitbucket.org:smith9/swift-sample.git  from my git install on ubuntu?
[10:25] <HerroWorlds> my current main connection to my server is through ssh
[10:25] <HerroWorlds> so it would be like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with a key.pem
[10:28] <jatt> HerroWorlds: for ssh you would need a full path to access the repository
[10:32] <HerroWorlds> @jatt sorry dcd
[10:32] <bertrandv> bonjour tout le monde or hi everybody
[10:32] <HerroWorlds><EMAIL_ADDRESS>-key /path/tolocalkey.pem ?
[10:32] <HerroWorlds> @bertrandv hola
[10:33] <bertrandv> is it a english forum or a french forum ?
[10:33] <HerroWorlds> its spanish and butchered engrish
[10:33] <bertrandv> ok
[10:34] <HerroWorlds> whats up?
[10:34] <lotuspsychje> !fr | bertrandv
[10:34] <bertrandv> i have a question about awesome but the people there are still sleep
[10:34] <user_> Hi everybody
[10:35] <bertrandv> i would like to move my window on a specific layout and change the layout with this command
[10:35] <bertrandv> not with two command
[10:35] <bertrandv> commands
[10:36] <brent> within terminal?
[10:36] <andres_> hola
[10:36] <bertrandv> no with the keyboard and the modkey
[10:36] <bertrandv> in the rc.lua
[10:37] <andres_> hola
[10:38] <do> can we speak intl language here?
[10:38] <jatt> HerroWorlds: you don't need ssh... afaik, just username@password:path
[10:38] <jatt> for ssh
[10:38] <do> i dont understand spanish
[10:38] <bertrandv> join /#ubuntu.fr
[10:38] <Infrabyte> @Sagar: How long does mysql stay up?
[10:38] <HerroWorlds> @jatt err umm so how to i clarify that it is using a key instead of a password?
[10:38] <Sagar> infabyte: i got the problem, its with memory
[10:39] <Sagar> 141222 20:17:49 InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool
[10:40] <Infrabyte> @Sagar: Is the server a stand alone server or using replication
[10:41] <Infrabyte> If stand alone maybe the buffer pool is set too high and the server is 'fighting' for resourse
[10:42] <jatt> HerroWorlds: if your keys are correctly generated/installed without giving username/password should work
[10:43] <HerroWorlds> i doubt they are installed correctly, every time i ssh to my server i have to  J$ ssh -i /Users/J/Documents/SSH/Key1.pem<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:43] <HerroWorlds> so this is going to be a headache lol
[10:44] <Sagar> Infrabyte : its a standalone running with apache and mongodb
[10:44] <tga> hello
[10:45] <tga> what would be the drawbacks of mkfs on a volume itself instead of partitioning?
[10:46] <Infrabyte> Sagar: Ok, I dont know mongodb, but it sound like the server is running out or resourses and then crashes the db server
[10:46] <Sagar> yeah, i will minimal the use
[10:46] <Sagar> hope that works
[10:47] <cojack> hello, did someone have kernel from ext73?

[11:06] <Sagar> it comes when i reboot the server
[11:06] <Infrabyte> Sagar: What is the current & global host sizes?
[11:07] <Infrabyte> you can check with: mysql -uroot -e"SELECT COUNT(*) hosts, SUM(IF(sum_connect_errors > 1, 1, 0)) with_errors FROM performance_schema.host_cache;SELECT @@global.host_cache_size;"
[11:08] <Scooby999> Good Morning

[11:09] <ablest1980> ok
[11:09] <Sagar> Infrabyte: it because i did stopped it and then restarted mysql
[11:09] <Sagar> also check http://prntscr.com/5k1f07
[11:09] <madduck> I am trying to use 14.04 on an older computer and it's impossible to use. The animations e.g. when a window is minimised takes about 40 seconds while the system is unusable. It's all beautiful and stuff, but how can I just disable all this graphics bling?
[11:11] <do> madduck: use xubuntu instead
[11:11] <cfhowlett> madduck, older computer?  sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4.    logout.  choose lubuntu or xubuntu session.    login
[11:11] <cfhowlett> madduck, note:  lubuntu is optimized for older & legacy hardware
[11:11] <Infrabyte> Sagar: try stopping mysql (service mysql stop)
[11:11] <madduck> do can I just use tasksel to change this? I want to interfere as little as possible with the default install.
[11:12] <Infrabyte> then check with: lsof -i:3306
[11:12] <Infrabyte> kill -9 PROCESS
[11:12] <Sagar> ok it's stopped
[11:12] <Sagar> i think i have put mysql on auto start many times
[11:12] <Sagar> how can i check them in init.d?
[11:13] <Scooby999> Can somebody please tell me how I can increase the memory for java VM? Do I have to be root? A TTS application running with java needs more memory. How much memory should I assign, if my computer has 4 BG RAM and java should be relatively strong? Thank you very much 4 your kind help in advance. :-)
[11:13] <madduck> yay
[11:13] <madduck> tasksel: aptitude failed (100)
[11:13] <Scooby999> .
[11:14] <Infrabyte> Sagar you sure there is no other instance of mysql or service on 3306
[11:14] <Sagar> yes
[11:14] <Infrabyte> check with telnet localhost 3306
[11:14] <Sagar> telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[11:14] <Guest30405> русскуий
[11:14] <Infrabyte> cool
[11:14] <Sagar> let me restart server and check again
[11:14] <Infrabyte> make a copy of the original files (ibdata1, ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1...)

[11:15] <Guest30405> pleas me have drivers ubuntu
[11:15] <Infrabyte> cp -a ibdata1.bak ibdata1
[11:16] <Infrabyte> then start mysql: service mysql start

[11:17] <john67> hello
[11:17] <Scooby999> Hi
[11:17] <cfhowlett> !ru | Guest30405
[11:18] <Infrabyte> that looks good
[11:18] <Sagar> Infrabyte: Does that?
[11:18] <do> hi, can i help you?
[11:18] <Infrabyte> try telnet to port 3306 again
[11:18] <cfhowlett> !who | do
[11:18] <Scooby999> yes, who can help me ? Please
[11:19] <cfhowlett> !help | Scooby999
[11:19] <Sagar> http://prntscr.com/5k1hl9
[11:19] <do> right ubotto, sorry
[11:19] <Scooby999> sorry Can somebody please tell me how I can increase the memory for java VM? Do I have to be root? A TTS application running with java needs more memory. How much memory should I assign, if my computer has 4 BG RAM and java should be relatively strong? Thank you very much 4 your kind help in advance. :-)
[11:20] <do> !who | do
[11:21] <Infrabyte> Guest81788/Sagar: the process startup definatly looks good
[11:21] <jatt> Scooby999: ask in #java but basically you pass options for it to the java command -Xmx.. -Xms, afaik in java 8 you don't need it, anyway this is offtopic
[11:21] <Scooby999> jatt - I understand and thank you very much!
[11:22] <Sagar> infrabyte: so its ok to have that all process on startup?

[12:10] <dns53> do in a pinch start off with log files in /var/log
[12:10] <elbriga> do: apt-get clean helps sometimes
[12:11] <lotuspsychje> !info bleachbit | do

[12:12] <do> please correct me
[12:13] <do> also, i run a scraper, that wget many web pages, and download zip

[12:13] <dns53> juned_ maybe, there is a way of getting chrome to run android apps
[12:22] <txl11> I've been getting intermittent boot problems with Ubuntu 14.04 (but I've also installed Gnome and Xfce), where it hangs after a purple splash screen (which I think is Grub launching). The two areas I think which may be a problem are sp5100_tco: "failed to find MMIO address, giving up." and "bluetoothd[524]: Failed to init deviceinfo plugin" - along with more bluetoothd errors. This computer doesn't have bluetooth, so I'm not sure why it's complaining
[12:22] <txl11> (unless it tries to start something it can't start). What should my next steps be?
[12:26] <deezed> Hello! I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 with kde. And I cant find the "additional drivers" app. Do I have to install it? In ubuntu 12.04 i just had to go to my menu and it was there. How about now?
[12:28] <catphish_> is there a way to boot to a root shell when ubuntu is configured with an initrd? i'm used to appending init=/bin/bash to the kernel, but that isn't compatible with the initrd
[12:28] <catphish_> simpler question: how can i reset my root password
[12:29] <kokut> should i be worried about having too many gvfsd connections ?
[12:29] <Ben64> catphish_: you shouldn't have a root password at all
[12:29] <gr33n7007h> catphish_, sudo -i; passwd
[12:29] <Ben64> gr33n7007h: please don't suggest that
[12:29] <catphish_> Ben64: that's a valid opinion
[12:29] <catphish_> but doesn't help me
[12:29] <gr33n7007h> Ben64, ok, sorry :(
[12:30] <Ben64> catphish_: you don't need a root password, it is less secure
[12:30] <catphish_> gr33n7007h: to clarify, i have no access at all, i just need to get a root shell
[12:30] <catphish_> Ben64: how so?
[12:30] <Ben64> how so what?
[12:30] <catphish_> how is it less secure?
[12:30] <txsl_> I've been getting intermittent boot problems with Ubuntu 14.04 (but I've also installed Gnome and Xfce), where it hangs after a purple splash screen (which I think is Grub launching). Two things in the error logs I see sp5100_tco: "failed to find MMIO address, giving up." and "bluetoothd[524]: Failed to init deviceinfo plugin" - along with more bluetoothd errors. This computer doesn't have bluetooth. What should my next steps
[12:30] <txsl_>  be?
[12:30] <Ben64> because everyone knows about root, if nobody can log in as root then its more secure
[12:31] <Ben64> also, with using sudo everything gets logged properly and you can see what has been done
[12:31] <catphish_> Ben64: security by obscurity is not a valid answer, try again
[12:31] <do> sudo passwd root
[12:31] <Ben64> do: please do not suggest that
[12:31] <catphish_> Ben64: please stop being annoying when people are trying to help others
[12:31] <catphish_> anyway, to clarify, i have no access at all, i need to get a root shell with no existing access
[12:32] <Ben64> catphish_: what is the actual issue you're experiencing, and the sudo/root stuff is channel policies, if you have a problem with that, take it up in #ubuntu-ops
[12:32] <Ben64> !recovery | catphish_
[12:32] <gr33n7007h> catphish_, What do you mean you have no access?
[12:32] <catphish_> Ben64: i have an issue with you telling people not to answer direct questions and starting an argument for no reason
[12:33] <kokut> anyone knows an easy way of cutting down gfvsd connections?
[12:33] <catphish_> gr33n7007h: when i "drop to root shell" it prompts for a root password :(
[12:33] <Ben64> catphish_: again, its channel policy to not do that, and you can argue that in #ubuntu-ops
[12:33] <Ben64> catphish_: use the recovery mode i linked above
[12:33] <catphish_> sorry, i meant Ben64 when i "drop to root shell" it prompts for a root password
[12:33] <gr33n7007h> catphish_, Why do you need a root shell?
[12:34] <Ben64> catphish_: from the recovery mode option?
[12:34] <catphish_> Ben64: yes, i think so, i'll check again
[12:34] <Ben64> catphish_: it really shouldn't. if it asks for a password you may have an encrypted system, or it may not be ubuntu
[12:35] <catphish_> gr33n7007h: because i typoed a web form when i built a new machine from a web interface, i haven't created user accounts yet, just need to set a temp root password so i can log in and configure things
[12:36] <catphish_> Ben64: http://i.imgur.com/6y44CVF.png
[12:36] <gr33n7007h> h, ok
[12:36] <catphish_> i'm accustomed to using init=/bin/bash but this seems incompatible with initrd
[12:37] <Ben64> catphish_: init=/bin/bash should work as well, something weird is going on there
[12:37] <gr33n7007h> type ctrl + D like it says
[12:37] <catphish_> it just goes back to the menu
[12:37] <gr33n7007h> Then there's something way wrong then
[12:38] <catphish_> actually init=/bin/bash is working now, my mistake
[12:38] <gr33n7007h> don't create a root password now then, ok
[12:39] <catphish_> sorry for being grumpy, it just seems you guys have too much politics to answer a simple question :(
[12:39] <gr33n7007h> that's ok catphish_
[12:39] <catphish_> gr33n7007h: i respectfully disagree with you, all my hosts have root passwords for local recovery and nonroot ssh access
[12:40] <Ben64> most people don't know about all that
[12:40] <gr33n7007h> catphish_, ok do as you wish
[12:40] <Ben64> so blindly telling people to set root passwords isn't a good idea
[12:40] <catphish_> Ben64: that much i agree with
[12:41] <catphish_> 14.04 disallows remote passworded logins anyway, which is ideal
[12:41] <gr33n7007h> with great power come great responsibilities :)
[12:43] <do> catphish_: i'm in the same boat with you, i dont know why too ...
[12:43] <catphish_> anyway, thanks for the help
[12:47] <podarok> Hello, @all. I have a list of IP addresses, stored by MYSQL database. Is there any automatic solution for adding these addresses to ubuntu firewall or iptables or any other firewall. ???
[12:50] <nda_> podarok: Don't know about "automatic" but have you checked out "ufw?" https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/firewall.html
[12:51] <nda_> podarok: I would expect there would be no automation unless you write a script by yourself, but I don't really know about that.
[12:53] <VictorCL> hi, I am using ubuntu on vagrant , and when I set the datetime .. it set it back to utc after few seconds
[12:53] <podarok> nda_, the idea is that I have created php scripts, that gather ip addresses , used by ddoser. Now I want to lock the firewall for the list, and this should be automatic solution, I guess
[12:53] <BluesKaj_> 'Morning folks
[12:54] <nda_> podarok: Then can't you just run the "iptables" (or ufw) executable from PHP?
[12:56] <podarok> nda_, I can, right, I hope somebody already has something to share )))
[12:56] <Ben64> or use something that already does what it seems like you want... like fail2ban
[12:57] <nda_> podarok: https://wiki.debian.org/iptables might be of help. Write the rules in a text file and import into iptables-restore.. But I can't offer any working solutions for you, sorry.
[12:57] <podarok> Ben64, thanks for the fail2ban suggestion. I'll try it out
[12:59] <madduck> What is the difference between the Xubuntu desktop and the Lubuntu desktop tasks at tasksel during install?
[12:59] <madduck> that UI really could use some love

[13:24] <stef1a> i'm trying to access another computer and am having trouble. it boots up into ubuntu 14.10 and i can log in just fine. but then it just shows the cursor, the desktop, and the ubuntu watermark, and i can't do anything else except switch to a different tty. help?
[13:26] <do2> stef1a: check your startup items, disable unused one
[13:29] <drakoff> Hi guys, I have a problem. When I use "sudo su" command I'm getting an error that prints out a message like: "Sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set".... So, how can I solve this problem?
[13:30] <YamakasY> is chmod o+x /mnt /mnt/nfs /mnt/nfs/foo the same as chmod -R o+x /mnt/nfs/foo ?
[13:31] <drakoff> It doesn't let me to use "chmod"
[13:35] <EriC^^> YamakasY: no
[13:35] <do2> drakoff: have you google it?
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> do2  don't send people to google, when they ask for help, please
[13:37] <cfhowlett> !google | do2
[13:37] <jirido> Results for | do2 on Google:
[13:37] <jirido> --
[13:37] <YamakasY> EriC^^: no indeed !
[13:37] <EriC^^> interesting
[13:39] <YamakasY> what would do a o+x in chmod digits ?
[13:39] <EriC^^> it would make the last bit +1
[13:39] <EriC^^> 776 would become 777
[13:40] <YamakasY> ok, uhm, that;s kinda odd
[13:40] <EriC^^> why?
[13:40] <dionysus69> hey guys, i installed postgresql and I cant figure out how to add a user with password :\
[13:40] <sackrebutz> Hey there! After a disk crash (and restore through mdadm), my Ubuntu SSH session is extremely laggy. It’s okay for 10 seconds and then performance goes down extremely. I already checked routes and DNS servers but they’re all fine. I can also see this symptom in my KVM guests.
[13:41] <sackrebutz> it’s a 14.04.1 LTS trusty.
[13:42] <sackrebutz> Opening a doc with vim also takes ages..
[13:44] <YamakasY> EriC^^: I need /mnt o+x but I think that is kinda security issue ?
[13:45] <EriC^^> YamakasY: what are you trying to achieve?
[13:45] <YamakasY> EriC^^: I need apache using a symlink to /mnt/nfs/nfsshare
[13:45] <YamakasY> so it needs o+x
[13:45] <Bmw1000c> sackrebutz does "top" show you something abnormal?
[13:46] <sackrebutz> Bmw1000c no it doesnt
[13:46] <EriC^^> YamakasY: you can add the apache user as an acl if you want
[13:47] <EriC^^> YamakasY: what's the apache user's name? wwwdata ?
[13:47] <EriC^^> YamakasY: setfacl -m u:wwwdata:x /mnt
[13:48] <user__> Hi Guys/Gals, anybody familliar with the installation of Eclipse?
[13:48] <YamakasY> EriC^^: yes www-data
[13:48] <YamakasY> EriC^^: but I need to do that per folder ?
[13:48] <EriC^^> yes
[13:49] <YamakasY> okay
[13:49] <YamakasY> EriC^^: I shouldn't need the group /
[13:49] <EriC^^> no, i dont think so
[13:53] <White_Cat> hi
[13:54] <White_Cat> I am trying to install ubuntu server to an HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9.
[13:54] <Vivekanand> user__: For linux you just have to download the zip, extract it and run the executable ...
[13:54] <White_Cat> I am able to boot into the installer (USB) and install ubuntu-server to the raid 5 array
[13:54] <cfhowlett> !server | White_Cat
[13:54] <user__> @Vivekanand: yeag, I know, I did, but it will not boot
[13:54] <user__> :=-(
[13:54] <Vivekanand> boot ?
[13:55] <user__> well, start up, anyway :-)
[13:55] <Vivekanand> hehe
[13:55] <user__> I know I have java working, but eclipse... not so much
[13:55] <Vivekanand> Well, it should, thats how I use verytime
[13:55] <White_Cat> However it will not boot from the said array even though it is certified. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201409-15510/
[13:55] <user__> how do you start it up?
[13:55] <Noah> Hello,Everyone.I'm Noah Gao from China.
[13:55] <cfhowlett> !cn | Noah
[13:55] <user__> @Noah: hi :-)
[13:55] <Vivekanand> user__  what does running "./eclipse" in terminal say ?
[13:56] <Noah> Thanks,Hi:)
[13:57] <user__> Vivekanand: it;'s very strange: if I do that, it says "bash: /eclipse: no such file or directory" - even when I am in /opt/eclipse where the file is!
[13:57] <Vivekanand> where did you extract the zip ?
[13:57] <user__> Noah: I'm from the netherlands - but on the internet, who cares? :-)
[13:57] <Vivekanand> btw it should be "./" and not just "/"
[13:57] <user__> I actracted it in my home, and sudo moved it to /opt/
[13:57] <White_Cat> user__ probably the government ;)
[13:58] <White_Cat> Just to find new ways to tax you and everyone else :p
[13:58] <user__> White_Cat: yeah.. you got something there.. you might be right
[13:58] <user__> :-)))
[13:58] <White_Cat> user__ would you have a suggestion for me
[13:58] <White_Cat> I cant quite boot :(
[13:58] <user__> White_Cat: boot what?
[13:58] <cfhowlett> White_Cat, suggestion (again) ask in the server channel
[13:59] <Vivekanand> after using sudo, only root will be able to execute that file, so are you running ./eclipse as root ?
[13:59] <White_Cat> I have asked in the server channel
[13:59] <user__> no, I am not
[13:59] <White_Cat> no response so I am asking here in paralel
[13:59] <user__> but i did chmod 755
[13:59] <White_Cat> user__ I installed Ubuntu server on an HP server
[13:59] <kk_drop> I would like to create script that will read from inptu, for example script.sh "param value", but when param is not passed it should ask in script for the param with "read" function
[13:59] <White_Cat> its not booting from it
[13:59] <kk_drop> how to check if $1 is defined?
[14:00] <Vivekanand> user__: looks like a permission issuse, see if running it using sudo works
[14:00] <user__> White_Cat: sorry, I am not really into servers.. nor HP, to be honest..
[14:00] <user__> Vivekanand: check, doing it now
[14:00] <White_Cat> that makes the two of us :)
[14:00] <Hulio> good morning guys
[14:00] <Hulio> Happy New Year
[14:00] <White_Cat> servers and I have a better... long distance relaitonship
[14:00] <user__> Vivekanand: "sudo: unable to execute ./eclipse: No such file or directory"
[14:00] <White_Cat> nothing closer than ssh please :p
[14:00] <user__> White_Cat: yeah - but for me, not su much of a problem... :-D
[14:00] <geothom1> Happy New Year with many many smart ideas and new technology on Ubuntu power
[14:01] <user__> White_Cat: can you describe what hapens?
[14:01] <Vivekanand> can you "ls -al /opt/eclipse" and show me the otuput via pastebin ?
[14:01] <user__> Vivekanand: as sudo, or as user?
[14:01] <Vivekanand> both would be fine actually :)
[14:01] <user__> rofl
[14:01] <Vivekanand> :D
[14:02] <Vivekanand> though i feel as normal user may not display everything
[14:03] <user__> Vivekanand: http://pastebin.com/VryvxMSh
[14:03] <user__> Vivekanand: there you are :-)
[14:03] <Vivekanand> user__: that url is blocked for me :O
[14:04] <user__> hh
[14:04] <Vivekanand> YOu can pm me the output
[14:05] <Vivekanand> that should do I think
[14:08] <Vivekanand> user__: did u paste it twice ?
