[00:02] <arlequin> Hi everybody
[00:03] <arlequin> a friend of mine is having problems rurnning skype in ubuntu
[00:04] <Akiba_> what part of unity was influenced by marketing
[00:04] <daftykins> arlequin: we can't really support it as it's a third party program, unless it's something major and obvious
[00:04] <daftykins> !skype
[00:04] <arlequin> skype in the terminal generates: Violación de segmento (`core' generado)
[00:05] <arlequin> I googled that problem
[00:05] <arlequin> and seems to be common
[00:05] <daftykins> segment fault, seems pretty major
[00:05] <Akiba_> guys
[00:05] <edition> how do i get a soundfont from multiple zips?
[00:05] <Akiba_> what part of ubuntu unity was influenced by marketing
[00:05] <arlequin> I beliave that is a problem with glib2 package
[00:06] <Akiba_> anyone?
[00:07] <SonikkuAmerica> Akiba_: Influenced by marketing? Do you mean the "smart scopes" feature?
[00:08] <holstein> Akiba_: influenced by marketing? i mean, any development could have been.. and likely was
[00:08] <Akiba_> im just wondering what parts were put in due to high user demand
[00:08] <holstein> Akiba_: *all* of it is based on a percieved or actual demand.. and trying to meet a goal and demand
[00:09] <Akiba_> .... doesnt help much :(
[00:09] <holstein> Akiba_: its still a community here, if you want to have some input..
[00:09] <holstein> Akiba_: i literally dont understand you question
[00:09] <SonikkuAmerica> Akiba_: The thing you must understand is that Ubuntu is a commercial, yet open-source, distro.
[00:10] <Akiba_> im just trying to map out parts people like about each distro
[00:10] <Akiba_> and mac/windows
[00:10] <Akiba_> so i can create my own
[00:11] <edition> eh?
[00:11] <holstein> Akiba_: "likes" are just that.. opinions.. you are welcome to take ubuntu and make it your own..
[00:11] <edition> Akiba: how extensive will your review be?
[00:11] <holstein> Akiba_: if you want to take a basic "poll" on what folks like about ubuntu, take advantage of the #ubuntu-offtopic channel..
[00:12] <edition> thats not a fair test!
[00:12] <SonikkuAmerica> lol
[00:12] <SonikkuAmerica> Maybe y'all should try the Debian popularity contest
[00:12] <edition> btw, Windows came from OS/2 (from UNIX). cool fact.
[00:13] <edition> still trying to get soundfont out of 100s of zips!
[00:14] <arlequin> how can I see a all available versions of a package?
[00:14] <Akiba_> aight thanks holstein
[00:14] <zend_> 0exit
[00:14] <arlequin> I'm interested in libglib2.0-dev
[00:15] <SchrodingersScat> !info libglib2.0-dev | arlequin: apt-cache show libglib2.0-dev
[00:16] <arlequin> thanks
[00:16] <subz3r0> you're welcome
[00:16] <arlequin> but the only version is 2.40.0-2 ?
[00:17] <arlequin> can't I downgrade my package to a previous version ?
[00:18] <SchrodingersScat> arlequin: idk, but these people put words on the internet: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138284/how-to-downgrade-a-package-via-apt-get
[00:18] <edition> how to use grep?
[00:18] <SchrodingersScat> edition: man grep
[00:18] <C4Cypher> I could weep for joy, X-COM Enemy Unknown is finally availible for Linux.
[00:18] <SchrodingersScat> C4Cypher: huzzah
[00:18] <edition> thanks
[00:19] <arlequin> thanks SchrodingersScat
[00:19] <arlequin> I had seen that web page before
[00:19] <subz3r0> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX29xcrHPtY&list=PLxE9uaKEBsfoK3W5QEzBOl35tjFeRFzEf
[00:19] <arlequin> but I have a doubt
[00:19] <arlequin> it says: sudo apt-get install <package-name>=<package-version-number>
[00:20] <SchrodingersScat> I've not done that, can't speak from experience :/
[00:20] <trism> arlequin: that is how you do it but only if previous versions are available in the repos, which is not the case here
[00:20] <subz3r0> tha cat is d34d
[00:21] <arlequin> in my case, package-name is libglib2.0-dev
[00:21] <holstein> arlequin: you can always chase down older versions and force them.. its a matter of what is in the repos, and if an older version is not there, you cant fall back to it
[00:21] <arlequin> thanks trism and holstein !
[00:22] <mark06> can anyone help me test something? when I pushed my package to the ppa and installed it, the dependencies chosen by apt were that of ubuntu not the ppa. I needed to perform an applications update for "finishing" the installation, so the dependencies were upgraded to the correct version...
[00:22] <arlequin> how can I brind an older version to my repo ?
[00:22] <mark06> Would you test it please whether this is reproducible? Please add the ppa "ppa:renatosilva/ppa" and install pidgin, then check in about dialog if both pidgin and libpurple version are suffixed with RS137. Thanks in advance!
[00:22] <holstein> arlequin: you cant
[00:22] <basementcomputer> does anyone know how to install broadcom bcm4306 driver
[00:22] <holstein> arlequin: you would locate, and force an older version *outside* the suggested and supported repo
[00:22] <basementcomputer> i looked it up and its listed on ubuntus wiki
[00:22] <holstein> !broadcom | basementcomputer
[00:22] <edition> which IDE do you use for C++?
[00:22] <arlequin> holstein: how can I do it ?
[00:23] <holstein> ^ thats what you referenced, basementcomputer ?
[00:23] <holstein> arlequin: locate an older version, and use it
[00:23] <basementcomputer> holstein, this is jhag2 im on another computer
[00:23] <C4Cypher> edition:  man is your best friend.  Anytime you ever, EVER have a question about a command line command, man it.  I've found it useful to know that the 'q' key will quit out of a man page, the 'f' key will flip forward a whole page, and 'b' will flip back a whole page.
[00:23] <basementcomputer> trying to get this wireless to work
[00:23] <holstein> arlequin: at your own rist, of course
[00:23] <arlequin> downloading a previos version from the internet ?
[00:23] <SchrodingersScat> !dpkg | arlequin
[00:23] <eXile> I have something really strange happening, after boot, about 5 minutes or so later, theres a crazy loop of "lshw | grep version | head -1", so many times I actully run out of memory, load skyrocket. I cant seem to find where its running from any ideas?
[00:23] <edition> dog is my friend :)
[00:23] <holstein> basementcomputer: it'll be the same as before, assuming there is sofware available to provide support..
[00:24] <C4Cypher> cat is my friend. ^^
[00:25] <arlequin> where I locate previos versions of a specific package ?
[00:25] <arlequin> previous*
[00:25] <edition> C4Cypher has friends
[00:25] <holstein> arlequin: i would just search the internet.. looking in older repositories.. and expect breakage
[00:25]  * C4Cypher has a cat, and everything that comes with that.
[00:26] <edition> where is ffplay?
[00:26] <freezer> at your mums?
[00:27] <holstein> edition: are you tring to play a soundfont? i use qsynth
[00:27] <edition> yeah. its with my windows backup collection of zips
[00:27] <holstein> freezer: please dont do that.. use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel for chat and play.. thanks

[00:28] <edition> i dont want to redownload it
[00:28] <holstein> edition: where is ffplay?
[00:28] <holstein> edition: are you asking where ffmpeg is? http://askubuntu.com/questions/432542/is-ffmpeg-missing-from-the-official-repositories-in-14-04
[00:28] <edition> I can get through ffmpeg.org, via static builds
[00:28] <freezer> at least someone is reaction now :p
[00:29] <freezer> my original question was:
[00:29] <tomreyn> mark06: 14.04 x86_64 http://paste.ubuntu.com/7682675/
[00:29] <freezer> Looking for a good howto to install Ubuntu on a MacBookPro late 2013
[00:29] <holstein> !install | freezer
[00:29] <holstein> !mac
[00:30] <subz3r0> mac?
[00:30] <subz3r0> wtf?
[00:30] <subz3r0> winfall?!
[00:30] <subz3r0> crap?
[00:30] <edition> interesting... I think its good that the ubuntu team made the decision
[00:30] <edition> to fork libavcodec.
[00:30] <subz3r0> "winDfall"

[00:31] <freezer> hmm
[00:31] <edition> please get rid of subz3r0
[00:31] <freezer> so looks like 2013 models are not supported
[00:31] <freezer> fffffffuck
[00:31] <edition> kick
[00:31] <freezer> 2000eur wasted
[00:31] <holstein> @ subz3r0 ..please note the topic and feel free and use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel

[00:31] <Sharcho> Does anyone know what theme for the window controls/borders in this screenshot?  http://ubuntuportal.com/wp-content/uploads/Emerald-Themer-0.9.5_003.png
[00:31] <tomreyn> !ops | subz3r0
[00:31] <subz3r0> got it?
[00:32] <subz3r0> looks like
[00:32] <edition> right. lets find subz3r0's IP address...
[00:32] <SonikkuAmerica> Sharcho: For the window those themes are in? That's XFCE's Greybird theme
[00:32] <subz3r0> muahaha
[00:33] <subz3r0> funny
[00:33] <arlequin> holstein: where I find old repos ?
[00:33] <holstein> arlequin: i just search for them..
[00:34] <arlequin> I don't know how to do it :S
[00:34] <holstein> arlequin: its not supported, so i wont be able to suggest one, or link you where you should go.. you will need to use the supported pacakges and adress your issue otherwise if you want support
[00:34] <edition> Can the admin please get rid of subz3r0?
[00:34] <holstein> arlequin: you shouldnt need to.. you should try asking about the issue you are having..
[00:35] <IdleOne> edition: ignore them and go on about your day :)
[00:36] <edition> IdleOne: ignore them and watch your server get trolled
[00:36] <mark06> tomreyn: thanks!
[00:37] <IdleOne> edition: I'm not ignoring anything. What I meant to say was don't engage them.  If you feel like joking around #ubuntu-offtopic can always use another funny person
[00:41] <edition> sorry
[00:41] <edition> i need help with grep
[00:42] <holstein> edition: in what way?
[00:42] <edition> i want this file "general*.sf2"...
[00:42] <subz3r0> lol
[00:42] <holstein> http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/16138/how-to-search-text-throughout-entire-file-system
[00:42] <holstein> edition: i thought you said they were zipped up?
[00:43] <edition> piped from unzip (ie: each zip content)
[00:43] <subz3r0> http://www.1m.stackexchange.t0.r3.tarted.to.grep.nz.co
[00:43] <edition> unzip -c "$file" | grep etc
[00:43] <holstein> edition: ok.. go for it..maybe you dont have generalMIDI.sf2
[00:43] <napsc> edition, there is a command zgrep
[00:43] <edition> i do
[00:44] <tomreyn> zgrep works with gzip, not (info)zip
[00:45] <DanaG> I'm trying to figure out why Ubuntu won't boot in ESXi.  I'm getting "unable to mount root fs".... but the real problem is that "break=top", which should drop me into busybox, is not doing so.
[00:45] <edition> in windows, im used to typing in dir "general*.sf2".. i need grep equivalent...
[00:46] <voot> i've got a hurricane electric tunnel set up... ipv6 forwarding is enabled, radvd is configured, ip6tables are flushed and policies are accept. The server can ping6 google. Network clients get good IPv6 addresses. Using tcpdump, i can see that ping6 on a client generates a packet that makes it to the server and over the tunnel. Tons of return packets are sent back to the server, but none of...
[00:46] <voot> ...them arrive on the client. Does anyone know why this might happen?
[00:46] <holstein> edition: i think you are getting stuck on the command, friend.. try using something different to get what you seek.. use a GUI file search tool
[00:46] <DanaG> edition: try "find" -- find "whatever" -- but note that the quotes around the term are actually required.
[00:46] <holstein> locate.. fine.. whatever
[00:47] <edition> thanks. sorry for the persistence.
[00:47] <tomreyn> edition: to just list matching files in the current directory, use 'ls "general*.sf2"'
[00:47] <edition> ah. so should i extract all the zips?
[00:47] <edition> to make life easier?
[00:48] <holstein> edition: i missed where that was suggested.. but, that may be easier for you
[00:48] <Sharcho> SonikkuAmerica: I found out it was the Elementary theme or one of its variants, http://sonnhy96.deviantart.com/art/ElementaryLi-elementary-on-Ubuntu-12-04-Unity-302283439
[00:48] <edition> thanks. Any help is good help.
[00:48] <tomreyn> not sure what you have there. a single directoy with multiple zip files and one or more of them is supposed to contain a matching file?
[00:48] <SonikkuAmerica> Sharcho: Elementary is similar to Greybird, yes
[00:48] <edition> single directory -> multiple zips -> "generaluser*.sf2"
[00:51] <tomreyn> edition: for file in *.zip; do echo ARCHIVE: $file; unzip -l $file | grep -i 'general.*\.sf2'; echo; done
[00:53] <thetrav> I have two NIC's attached to my ubuntu server.  The first one doesn't have internet, the second one does.  I can't ping www.google.com (unknown host).  Do I need to configure anything to tell it to use eth1 to look for dns?
[00:56] <tomreyn> thetrav: you may need to update your default route
[00:57] <tomreyn> ip route show
[00:57] <thetrav> thanks tomreyn, however I don't know what that means… explanation or link?
[00:58] <thetrav> unfortunately I don't have ssh access to that machine, so can't copy paste… <IP_ADDRESS>/24 and <IP_ADDRESS>/24 is the first column, then dev eth0 proto kernal scope link src <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:58] <tomreyn> thetrav: http://askubuntu.com/questions/31646/default-gateway-changing/403429#403429
[00:59] <thetrav> second line eth0 becomse eth1 and <IP_ADDRESS> becomse <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:59] <manjaro_ringo> yeah dude
[00:59] <tomreyn> make that eth1 instead of eth0 if your internet connected interface is eth1
[00:59] <thetrav> oh
[01:00] <thetrav> there's 3 lines
[01:00] <thetrav> ok
[01:00] <tomreyn> you also need to adjust the gateway address to match that of your gateway
[01:01] <tomreyn> which will be either <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS> i guess
[01:01] <thetrav> ok, I think I get it
[01:01] <thetrav> thanks
[01:02] <tomreyn> dont shoot your foot - good luck
[01:06] <iFlames-iPhone> How do I install gksu?
[01:06] <iFlames-iPhone> I get the error "unable to locate package gksu"
[01:07] <daftykins> !find gksu
[01:07] <iFlames-iPhone> daftykins?
[01:07] <daftykins> hi
[01:07] <iFlames-iPhone> Hi
[01:08] <daftykins> 14.04?
[01:08] <iFlames-iPhone> Yep
[01:08] <daftykins> !find gksudo
[01:08] <daftykins> hrmmph
[01:09] <daftykins> iFlames-iPhone: did you "apt-get update" first?
[01:09] <iFlames-iPhone> Yes
[01:09] <tomreyn> iFlames-iPhone: this suggests the package should be available: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gksu&exact=1
[01:09] <iFlames-iPhone> I know
[01:10] <iFlames-iPhone> But I'm still getting that error
[01:10] <tomreyn> on amd64 + i386. which architecture are oyu on?
[01:10] <daftykins> yeah perhaps your sources aren't enabled
[01:10] <daftykins> !info gksu
[01:10] <iFlames-iPhone> D64
[01:10] <iFlames-iPhone> Amd64
[01:10] <daftykins> it exists
[01:10] <daftykins> but it's in universe
[01:10] <iFlames-iPhone> So how do I enable my sources?
[01:11] <tomreyn> (sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy) | pastebinit
[01:11] <daftykins> system settings -> software and sources
[01:12] <tomreyn> the comamnd i just posted should return a url, which should have some text which should indicate what the problem is
[01:13] <InFlames> i was trying to restore the default login to ubuntu, but now i can't make it start, can anyone point me to some log file that might have some answers?
[01:13] <InFlames> what can i do from the shell?
[01:13] <tomreyn> "universe" is a repository section, which is not necessarily enabled by default. daftykins explained how to access the graphical interface which should allow for enabling this section.
[01:13] <iFlames-iPhone> Updating now
[01:15] <iFlames-iPhone> Downloading gksu
[01:15] <iFlames-iPhone> Thanks guys
[01:15] <iFlames-iPhone> :)
[01:15] <tomreyn> InFlames: what has made you end up in the situation you are in now, what were you using / testing before you decided to go back? what does "default login" refer to (the unity desktop interface?)? how are you trying to restore the default login, and how does it fail so far?
[01:15] <tomreyn> iFlames-iPhone: welcome
[01:17] <InFlames> tomreyn, i had lubuntu on it at one point and was in the process of removing it and i just want to restore my original login and i think it should boot fine
[01:17] <InFlames> sudo apt-get purge lubuntu-desktop, i believe is what i used
[01:19] <tomreyn> InFlames: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop lightdm
[01:19] <tomreyn> this might help
[01:20] <tomreyn> thought it's not entirely clear what your situation is now since you didn'T really answer much of what i asked.
[01:21] <InFlames> tomreyn, i'll answer anything i can
[01:21] <InFlames> i simply don't know how to tell you commands after commands entered on a machine i cannot access right now
[01:21] <scj643> hi
[01:22] <InFlames> yes, i was restoring the unity desktop login screen
[01:22] <InFlames> basically i'm stuck with a machine that won't boot, and i have no idea how to figure out where it's hanging
[01:22] <Ben64> InFlames: you should consider installing fresh
[01:23] <InFlames> Ben64, not an option, i wouldn't be asking for help with that
[01:23] <InFlames> i'd be fine but somehow i lost the passphrase
[01:23] <InFlames> is there a means i can use to recover it?
[01:23] <InFlames> it looks like my old partition was lvm and that it's partition table is suddenly invalid
[01:24] <PipinoPipinak> Ciao a tutti :)
[01:24] <InFlames> i know about ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase, but how can i use that from the recovery mode shell prompt?
[01:25] <InFlames> any ideas how i could recover it via lived?
[01:25] <Ben64> InFlames: well you kind of broke a lot of stuff by purging lubuntu-desktop
[01:25] <InFlames> i am aware
[01:25] <InFlames> but how does that hamper me from being able to fix it?
[01:26] <Ben64> because it broke a lot of stuff?
[01:26] <InFlames> so why can't i login to the recover console, rip out the entire de and fix it all via command line?
[01:26] <InFlames> i can't get the recovery console to see networking as well
[01:27] <Ben64> right, which is why i'm suggesting a reinstall
[01:27] <InFlames> which will cause me to lose unsaved encrypted data
[01:27] <InFlames> so no, not an option
[01:27] <Ben64> then hook that up to a working computer, recover it first
[01:27] <InFlames> i can't get the passphrase...
[01:28] <InFlames> see the dilemma now?
[01:28] <InFlames> i can't recover without the key
[01:29] <Ben64> yeah, you should be a lot more careful
[01:29] <daftykins> another user ruined by encryption :/
[01:29] <Ben64> happens a lot
[01:29] <InFlames> hind sight is 20/20
[01:29] <daftykins> indeed!
[01:29] <InFlames> this is still fixable
[01:29] <InFlames> i just need to stop having everyone tell me to reformat
[01:29] <Ben64> without the key you're never going to get in
[01:29] <InFlames> i have the password
[01:29] <InFlames> simply not the key for recovery
[01:29] <InFlames> so if i can get in, i can do ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase
[01:29] <InFlames> and we're all good
[01:30] <Ben64> why can't you do that from another computer or a livecd?
[01:30] <InFlames> explain how and i will do it right now
[01:30] <InFlames> that's what i'm trying to ask
[01:30] <InFlames> HOW
[01:30] <Ben64> well you can run encryptfs-unwrap-passphrase from a livecd
[01:30] <InFlames> as i also said, fdisk -l claims the partition has an invalid table
[01:30] <Ben64> just have to install the package
[01:31] <InFlames> but that would run against the live cd's key, no?
[01:31] <InFlames> how do i tell it which partition?
[01:32] <Ben64> i don't use encryption
[01:32] <InFlames> ...
[01:32] <InFlames> that's unrelated, unless your full statement is "i don't know, i don't use encryption"
[01:33] <Ben64> you're the one who uses it, you should know the syntax of that command
[01:33] <InFlames> and now we get to the point
[01:33] <InFlames> "i don't know"
[01:33] <InFlames> that's a simple answer, isn't it?
[01:33] <InFlames> not blaming me for asking for help in a tech channel
[01:33] <daftykins> InFlames: i'd ask you to take a moment and calm down please
[01:34] <InFlames> i'm completely calm
[01:34] <InFlames> i just don't find "reformat" and "i don't use that" helpful
[01:34] <Ben64> you wanted to find a way to run that, and i gave you a method
[01:34] <InFlames> you gave me nothing ben, be honest
[01:34] <InFlames> i even said i can use that before
[01:34] <InFlames> from live cd
[01:34] <InFlames> then said "figure it out yourself"
[01:34] <InFlames> which again isn't helpful
[01:34] <edition> ouch
[01:34] <InFlames> i am fine with doing that however
[01:34] <Ben64> then please do
[01:35] <InFlames> so i will figure it out myself
[01:35] <Ben64> come back here if your attitude improves
[01:35] <edition> domestic
[01:35] <InFlames> improves...
[01:35] <daftykins> if only there were some kind of globally accessible repository of knowledge wherein, armed with the beginnings of information, answers could be found
[01:35] <InFlames> try actually being useful
[01:35] <edition> try wikipedia. its a start :D
[01:35] <InFlames> daftykins, you honestly think i'm here before spending a day searching the internet?
[01:35] <daftykins> InFlames: i don't like your attitude, buck up or you are going to be ignored.
[01:36] <InFlames> i don't like people pretending to be useful but generally just being condescending
[01:36] <edition> i agree
[01:36] <InFlames> my attitude is a reflection of the attitude towards me
[01:36] <daftykins> that's lovely, but having a great big rant about that is beyond the scope of this volunteer-run channel
[01:36] <edition> but isn't this off topic?
[01:36] <Ben64> indeed it is, edition
[01:36] <daftykins> InFlames: you are very welcome to request a refund
[01:36] <InFlames> lol
[01:37] <InFlames> whatever
[01:37] <edition> $0.000 to the sum of Zero Dollars and Zero Cents
[01:37] <InFlames> i wanted someone with half an idea to chime in
[01:37] <InFlames> not someone telling me to reformat
[01:37] <daftykins> and the best way to do that was to be rude to someone assisting, nice move
[01:37] <InFlames> who was rude first
[01:37] <daftykins> right, let's get back on topic.
[01:37] <edition> ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[01:37] <daftykins> forget all that has come before.
[01:38] <daftykins> edition: do you have a question?
[01:38] <edition> i solved it by using unzip '*.zip'. it worked!
[01:38] <edition> then ls *.sf2
[01:38] <edition> yes. Which IDE is best?
[01:39] <holstein> InFlames: i think you are, and rightfully so, quite frustrated to begin with. but the system encryption like that is made to not be able to be gotten around
[01:39] <daftykins> edition: there is no best. IDE's are typically suited to given languages
[01:40] <InFlames> holstein, i know it's not, all i need to do is get ubuntu to boot and i can recover the passphrase and be done with it, reformat and have my data
[01:40] <daftykins> programming advice is beyond the scope of this channel.
[01:40] <neil0mac> I am looking for info on how to setup Ububtu on a HDD on an external USB. (Win 8.1 on a lappie.)
[01:40] <edition> alright. ive heard people use IDE's in Ubuntu for their day job...
[01:40] <InFlames> but i need to get ubuntu to boot, and right now, due to whatever i did with the login, it doesn't, is there a log i could check, several logs? dozens? i will check
[01:40] <holstein> InFlames: if you dont have the passphrase, you should be locked out
[01:41] <edition> time to put the Black Hat on your head
[01:41] <InFlames> holstein, let's clarify passphrase from password, password is to login, passphrase is to decrypt to save the data, i have the password
[01:41] <holstein> InFlames: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword still works, but not without a passphrase
[01:41] <daftykins> edition: stop the off topic comments and chat please
[01:41] <holstein> InFlames: sure.. its just that what you want *requires* both
[01:41] <mark06_away> tomreyn: the policy command says it's invalid, tried many forms
[01:42] <InFlames> it didn't require it every time i logged in?
[01:42] <holstein> InFlames: and the password is the one you can easily reset/recover
[01:42] <InFlames> and i can get the passphrase if i login
[01:42] <holstein> InFlames: then login.. but i dont think thats correct
[01:42] <smokie> hey guys, quick question, how can i upgrade an ubuntu server 10.10 to 12.04 LTS ?
[01:42] <neil0mac> Was this reply to me?  ( programming advice is beyond the scope of this channel.)
[01:42] <daftykins> neil0mac: no
[01:43] <holstein> smokie: i say, it would be easier to fresh install and the upgrade really has no advantages
[01:43] <daftykins> neil0mac: do you have a blank DVD you can write ubuntu to to install, or perhaps a USB flash drive in addition to the USB external HDD?
[01:43] <neil0mac> Thanks.  I'll wait then.
[01:44] <holstein> smokie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades if you want/must
[01:44] <InFlames> holstein, i got to the recovery menu, which option am i choosing? (i think i'm going to need networking), does root have networking?
[01:44] <smokie> holstein, i kind of have no choice.. the VM im trying to upgrade is a customized ubuntu server from my ISP and i wont be able to configure the scripts again on a fresh install
[01:45] <neil0mac> I already have a Trusty CD from a vius user.  Also a USB but I don't think i should need to use one?
[01:45] <holstein> smokie: then, it snot ubuntu, and they will have to provide support.. though, you can try the links i gave
[01:45] <edition> hey, why does the video quality in ffplay look different to VLC?
[01:45] <edition> its way too dark in VLC
[01:45] <daftykins> neil0mac: you want to install ubuntu to a USB HDD then is it?
[01:45] <smokie> holstein, uh they didnt really "customize" the OS, wrong choice of words.. they just run some scripts for 6rd
[01:45] <holstein> InFlames: what are you trying to recover?
[01:46] <neil0mac> Yes.Yes.
[01:46] <holstein> smokie: you will askthem about the support and upgrade, though.. otherwise, fresh install 14.04
[01:46] <InFlames> i am trying to recover my passphrase after logging in to ubuntu via recovery shell
[01:46] <holstein> InFlames: you cant
[01:46] <edition> i dont understand. I though VLC used libavcodec... why is the video contrast wrong?
[01:46] <InFlames> why not? i am so confused on this
[01:46] <smokie> holstein, 14.04 is a TLS version?
[01:46] <smokie> LTS* i mean
[01:47] <neil0mac> No?  The USB has an externalHDD connected to it!
[01:47] <InFlames> how is it any different from logging in regularly and then doing ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase?
[01:47] <holstein> InFlames: http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/
[01:47] <InFlames> i just want to do it from the console
[01:47] <daftykins> neil0mac: if it were me i would probably disconnect the internal drive with windows 8 on it and install to the external HDD from the DVD, then plug the windows drive back in
[01:47] <sveta> ouch, why do people encrypt things -- it is their computer, it's not a library computer
[01:47] <neil0mac> I'll try again!  I want to  use an external HDD connected to a USB3 port.
[01:47] <sveta> such a waste of computational time
[01:48] <InFlames> holstein, that's exactly what i am trying to do
[01:48] <InFlames> simply by console
[01:48] <holstein> InFlames: ok... go for it
[01:48] <sveta> smokie, yes, 14.04 is lts (/topic)
[01:48] <InFlames> but i can't get it to login
[01:48] <holstein> http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/ is what i would try.
[01:48] <InFlames> i imagine there has to be a log of an error somewhere, likely related to the login screen, but i don't know where to look
[01:49] <smokie> sveta, cool.. are there any known issues from upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 of the server edition?
[01:49] <InFlames> holstein, that method requires access to the mount, i am trying to get access right now
[01:49] <InFlames> that;s my problem, it hangs without logging in, i have the credentials
[01:49] <holstein> InFlames: that process refernces using a live CD, which is how i would try
[01:50] <InFlames> holstein, i think you're missing the problem
[01:50] <holstein> InFlames: ok
[01:50] <InFlames> i can get to the live cd, i can run ecryptfs-recover-private, i don't have the passphrase
[01:50] <edition> has anyone encountered display issues with VLC?
[01:50] <holstein> InFlames: you *cant* recover the passphrase like that
[01:51] <holstein> InFlames: you'll need it, AFAIK
[01:51] <holstein> InFlames: what *do* you have? a live CD? the user password? what else?
[01:51] <InFlames> if you can just help me get some details on why it hangs, i can handle the rest
[01:51] <InFlames> live, password, and a broken ubuntu 14.04
[01:51] <mark06> holstein: mine still same http://vpaste.net/EVy5n
[01:52] <Faryshta> how do i use chmod +a?
[01:52] <holstein> InFlames: it hangs likely becase you dont have access to it.. you dont seem to have what you need to access the data
[01:52] <InFlames> i do have access
[01:52] <InFlames> it hangs before asking me anything
[01:52] <Ben64> Faryshta: what are you trying to do
[01:52] <InFlames> holstein, does recovery shell have networking?
[01:53] <holstein> InFlames: you say you dont have the passphrase..
[01:53] <InFlames> damn, no it doesn't
[01:53] <daftykins> InFlames: does if you configure it
[01:54] <InFlames> i got the passphrase
[01:54] <InFlames> holy crap
[01:54] <InFlames> one sec
[01:54] <InFlames> lolol
[01:54] <InFlames> thanks guys
[01:54] <InFlames> sorry if i am being an ass, i just am so frustrated trying to explain this
[01:54] <holstein> InFlames: i understand you are frustrated, but we cant just go through each volunteer here like this..
[01:54] <InFlames> i can't make the picture clean to anyone
[01:54] <mark06> why isn't it saying libpurple0 will be installed? http://vpaste.net/EVy5n
[01:55] <daftykins> that is most definitely not english
[01:55] <InFlames> holstein, was i not being cordial with you?
[01:56] <InFlames> text does not convey emotion, but i was trying to be polite and efficient with my statements
[01:56] <InFlames> as for ben64, that's another story
[01:56] <daftykins> mark06: have you tried running Pidgin after just saying yes?
[01:56] <InFlames> i should have more patience, everyone is here to help everyone
[01:57] <sveta> smokie, about server ask #ubuntu-server, i only upgraded laptop (and i have all sort of issue with hibernating and light-locker but server edition doesnt need those)
[01:57] <trism> mark06: would be more interesting to see: apt-cache policy libpurple0
[01:57] <edition> alright thanks for the help. Good luck to those questions that haven't been answered yet. Bye.
[01:57] <Faryshta> Ben64, symfony
[01:58] <Ben64> Faryshta: that's not an answer to the question...
[01:59] <mark06> holstein: with -V http://vpaste.net/tXAZQ
[02:00] <holstein> mark06: whats the question?
 Do I need to open the lappie to remove (disconnect) the HDD?
[02:02] <Ben64> mark06: that version of pidgin is from a ppa, seek support with the maintainer of that ppa, or revert back to the official package
[02:02] <mark06> trism: thanks! found the problem with that and aptitude why libpurple0!
[02:02] <daftykins> neil0mac: usually, depends on the model for how easy that is. i'm beginning to think my suggestion was a terrible one though, there's definitely ways to install leaving it in :D have you booted ubuntu from the DVD yet?
[02:02] <mark06> Ben64: I wrote that pidgin version
[02:03] <Ben64> mark06: then.... you should know?
[02:03] <neil0mac> I tried some weeks ago (True!) but I couldn't access the G: drive - only the C; drive that I don't want to use.
[02:04] <mark06> Ben64: please add me to your ignore list, I mean it
[02:04] <holstein> mark06: ? whats your question, friend?
[02:04] <Ben64> mark06: ppas are not supported here, end of the story.
[02:04] <cfhowlett> !ppa
[02:05] <SonikkuAmerica> Err, you shouldn't need a PPA for pidgin, we usually ship the latest version at feature freeze
[02:06] <mark06> trism: what likely happened was that libpurple0 was already installed and for some reason apt didn't update it to the newer version from ppa
[02:06] <trism> mark06: I suspected that was the case, glad you worked it out
[02:06] <mark06> trism: that was because telepathy-haze requires it...
[02:06] <mark06> trism: thanks again
[02:06] <linuxthe1ish> hi, how can i reinstall grub?
[02:07] <Bashing-om> InFlames: Look, I am aware that encryption adds a level of complexity that is sometimes not possible to overcome, I have no experiemce with encryption, but have you tried to boot to terminal from the brub boot menu ? See then what you can access ?
[02:07] <cfhowlett> !grub|linuxthe1ish
[02:07] <Bashing-om> brub/grub*
[02:07] <InFlames> Bashing-om, i got the passphrase, took a picture, rebooted into the livecd and am trying to recover
[02:07] <InFlames> oddly now it's taking a very long time to find the partition
[02:08] <linuxthe1ish> ubottu: boot-repair does not work for me, anything else?
[02:08] <linuxthe1ish> waaa
[02:08] <holstein> linuxthe1ish: actually, there are *many* options listed at that link.. and boot repair is just one of them
[02:09] <holstein> linuxthe1ish: i would boot a live CD and try the suggestions listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub ..and i would keep in mind a reinstallation may be the quickest resolve here
[02:09] <cfhowlett> linuxthe1ish this ^^^
[02:10] <linuxthe1ish> grub-install: error: unknown filesystem.
[02:10] <linuxthe1ish> :S
[02:11] <linuxthe1ish> oh wait nvm i'm not in live cd
[02:11] <holstein> linuxthe1ish: if you have broken the filesystem, it wont work
[02:12] <linuxthe1ish> nooo it's fine :(
[02:12] <linuxthe1ish> i can boot manually
[02:12] <holstein> linuxthe1ish: so
[02:12] <holstein> linuxthe1ish: thats irrelevant..
[02:12] <linuxthe1ish> how do i know what is broken filesystem?
[02:12] <loaden> hi, all! after restore Win7 use ghost 11.5.1, I lost my /home and /opt partition table.
[02:13] <holstein> linuxthe1ish: not sure how you know.. i test and see. and then, i reinstall if necessary
[02:13] <loaden> Could someone help me.
[02:14] <loaden> I can't enter my Ubuntu 14.04 now.
[02:14] <cfhowlett> loaden but your win7 works?  reinstall ubuntu
[02:14] <loaden> yes, win7 works.
[02:14] <Ben64> loaden: yeah sounds like you restored right over your ubuntu partition(s) and the data is likely lost forever
[02:14] <holstein> loaden: check and see if you restored over top of them..
[02:14] <cfhowlett> loaden although restoring win7 shouldn't have impacted ubuntu.  maybe ghost did some weiird magic
[02:14] <loaden> I can't reinstall ubuntu, because in my /home and /opt partition, there exist many useful date.
[02:15] <loaden> When I install Ubuntu again, I have to create all partition again.
[02:15] <holstein> loaden: check and see. it really doesnt matter how useful it was if you have blown over it accidentally :/
[02:15] <cfhowlett> loaden boot your ubuntu USB and look for your data.  if it's gone, it's gone.
[02:15] <Ben64> loaden: ok, load up a ubuntu livecd and pastebin things... like "sudo blkid" and "sudo parted -l"
[02:15] <loaden> Ben64: no, the restore is right.
[02:15] <loaden> the /root data just fine.
[02:15] <Ben64> what do you mean
[02:16] <loaden> It's seems I lost my partition table.
[02:16] <holstein> loaden: you are assuming the restore went "right".. if you are missing things,and you just did a restore, its likely you restored over them
[02:16] <loaden> only /home and /opt
[02:16] <Ben64> but you definitely overwritten /home and /opt?
[02:16] <cfhowlett> sudo blkid
[02:16] <loaden> Maybe it's ghost bugs.
[02:17] <loaden> I can sure the restore is the right partition.
[02:17] <cfhowlett> loaden seems likely
[02:17]  * sveta mutters “backups, backups, backups”
[02:18] <loaden> and /dev/sda8 -> /root  &  /dev/sda9 -> /opt  /dev/sda10 ->home
[02:18] <loaden> I just want restore the partition tables.
[02:18] <holstein> why? i would want to try and recover the data..
[02:18] <loaden> does I have any chance to save my data?
[02:18] <Ben64> then pastebin the information i asked for
[02:18] <cfhowlett> loaden might not be possible.  as suggested BOOT your usb and see if the data is there
[02:19] <loaden> cfhowlett: I just do it. I can't visit the partition anymore.
[02:19] <loaden> fdisk -l just fine.
[02:19] <loaden> I can see the partition use fdisk -l
[02:19] <cfhowlett> loaden sudo blkid             sudo parted -l          report the output
[02:20] <loaden> blkid can't visit the lost partition too.
[02:20] <cfhowlett> loaden ben64?
[02:20] <Ben64> cfhowlett: huh?
[02:20] <cfhowlett> ben64 under blkid can't read his partition = it's dead, jim?
[02:20] <loaden> blkid can show the all Windows NTFS partitions.
[02:21] <loaden> and can show /root partition.
[02:21] <loaden> but can't see the lost /dev/sda9 & /dev/sda10
[02:21] <Ben64> cfhowlett: yeah sounds dead. would be nice to see the actual output though
[02:21] <loaden> BUT, fdisk -l can see it.
[02:21] <cfhowlett> !paste| loaden use the paste tools to show us the output
[02:21] <Ben64> loaden: then pastebin it
[02:22] <loaden> Ben64: cfhowlett For now I use IRC on Windows.
[02:22] <loaden> I can only enter Ubuntu in shell
[02:23] <cfhowlett> loaden perfect.

[02:32] <Foxhoundz> how do I install the kernel souce and headers for ubuntu'
[02:32] <cfhowlett> !source|Foxhoundz
[02:32] <cfhowlett> Foxhoundz errr, ignore.
[02:32] <cfhowlett> !kernel
[02:32] <Ben64> Foxhoundz: sudo apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g)
[02:32] <RLW980> !RLW980 | he
[02:33] <Ben64> RLW980: stop that
[02:33] <RLW980> Ben64: sTOP WHAT LOL
[02:33] <Foxhoundz> why the regex?
[02:34] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: picks your currently installed and running version
[02:34] <Ben64> Foxhoundz: solves some issues, but i see now it wouldn't work with lts enablement stack
[02:36] <Foxhoundz> apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r) doesn't work either
[02:36] <Foxhoundz> :<
[02:36] <Ben64> Foxhoundz: what version of ubuntu
[02:36] <Foxhoundz> 14.04 3.13.0-24-generic
[02:37] <Ben64> then my regex should work for you, should install linux-headers-generic
[02:37] <Ben64> although you're a few kernel versions behind
[02:37] <Foxhoundz> it's a live environment and only temporary as I try to compile a usb wifi card driver
[02:37] <Foxhoundz> which is another issue I'm tackling
[02:38] <Foxhoundz> the joys of running Linux
[02:38] <IotaSpencer> Does 14.04 not have a key for some things yet?
[02:38] <holstein> IotaSpencer: a key?
[02:38] <Ben64> Foxhoundz: then you'll want linux-headers-<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:38] <cfhowlett> IotaSpencer "some things" ???
[02:38] <IotaSpencer> The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 NO_PUBKEY 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32
[02:39] <daftykins> IotaSpencer: it's all fine, perhaps you added a PPA
[02:39] <tomreyn> well not everything's fine unless he's able to verify them
[02:40] <holstein> IotaSpencer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127326/how-to-fix-missing-gpg-keys
[02:40] <IotaSpencer> its also based on ubuntus servers, not launchpads or anyone elses
[02:40] <cfhowlett> IotaSpencer yeah, that does happen sometimes..
[02:41] <Foxhoundz> and how do I download the kernel source?
[02:42] <tomreyn> apt-get download linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic
[02:43] <Foxhoundz> thank you
[02:43] <sinonie> hello

[02:43] <cfhowlett> sinonie greetings.  ask your ubuntu questions
[02:44] <sinonie> this room not for chit-chat? ^_^
[02:44] <cfhowlett> !ot|sinonie it is not
[02:44] <holstein> sinonie: no.. but the #ubuntu-offtopic is
[02:44] <tomreyn> Foxhoundz: actually for the source you want this: apt-get source linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic
[02:45] <tomreyn> the previous command would download the binary.
[02:45] <sinonie> any room ubuntu user just for looking new friends?
[02:45] <Foxhoundz> -_-
[02:45] <tomreyn> note that i have not followed your previous conversation, i just told you how to download a kernel package of a given version
[02:45] <holstein> sinonie: no.. but maybe in the appropriate channel.. please /join #ubuntu-offtopic ..thanks :)
[02:46] <sinonie> ok thanks holstein :)
[02:46] <osier> hello, anyone has any idea about why I couldn't get the core dump of kernel when setting USE_KDUMP=1 in /etc/default/kdump-tools?  I can get the linux-image-*.crash file under /var/crash though, when setting USE_KDUMP=0
[02:46] <cfhowlett> holstein I do believe you made a friend   :)
[02:46] <tomreyn> Foxhoundz: if you're trying to build a kernel module you should probably be using m-a (module-assistant)
[02:46] <IotaSpencer> ok that fixed it, thanks guys
[02:46] <Foxhoundz> tomreyn: is that what you guys call drivers?
[02:47] <Foxhoundz> I'm trying to compile a driver for a WiFi adapter from source
[02:47] <Foxhoundz> all I know is I needed the linux headers and kernel source for it to compile
[02:47] <Foxhoundz> I've added build-essentials for good measure
[02:47] <tomreyn> Foxhoundz: kernel modules are the equivalent of drivers on other operating systems, yes
[02:47] <holstein> Foxhoundz: why? typically, if drivers can be available,they are
[02:47] <Foxhoundz> my WiFi adapter is relatively new
[02:47] <Foxhoundz> NO linux distribution has support for it
[02:47] <holstein> Foxhoundz: if you are having to build from source, make sure that it supports the kernel
[02:48] <holstein> Foxhoundz: this *is* a linux distribution..
[02:48] <Foxhoundz> This is the one https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_T4U
[02:48] <Foxhoundz> I know. I'm saying no linux distribution has support of it out of the box
[02:48] <daftykins> RTL8812AU seems common 0o
[02:48] <daftykins> ah well
[02:49] <holstein> i know, personally, if i still had the reciept.. i would return it rather than build anything from source.. but, i would think that device should "just work"
[02:50] <osier> osier, my message is a bit lost in the screen, but still looking forward to some help, the "kdump-config show" output is:
[02:50] <osier> kdump-config show
[02:50] <osier> USE_KDUMP:        1
[02:50] <osier> KDUMP_SYSCTL:     kernel.panic_on_oops=1
[02:50] <osier> KDUMP_COREDIR:    /var/crash
[02:50] <osier> crashkernel addr: 0x2d000000
[02:50] <unopaste> osier you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[02:52] <Foxhoundz> daftykins: it didn't work when I plugged it in
[02:52] <Foxhoundz> lsusb doesn't even list the chipset vendor name
[02:53] <Foxhoundz> it just has its vendor id and product id
[02:53] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: so, build-essential is on, how about linux-headers-generic ?
[02:53] <MartynKeigher> hey all...stupid Q alert.... what location is this " cd~"
[02:54] <Foxhoundz> I'm installing that currently
[02:54] <MartynKeigher> what does the ~ denote??
[02:54] <Foxhoundz> I'll be cloning and compiling it from this https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
[02:54] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: /home/username
[02:54] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: it's like shorthand for the currently logged on user's home folder (confirm with "pwd" )
[02:54] <wilee-nilee> cd ~/
[02:55] <Foxhoundz> ~ = /home/<current_user_home>
[02:55] <Foxhoundz> loh
[02:55] <daftykins> wow, really need to get that echo fixed ;)
[02:55] <Foxhoundz> it's been said
[02:55] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: looks pretty straight forward then
[02:55] <MartynKeigher> well if thats true... then, im in /home/username and i cant see a folder that should be in here?? really odd.
[02:55] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: ls -a
[02:55] <Foxhoundz> daftykins: do I just run sudo make?
[02:55] <MartynKeigher> in putty, i see it all. but i cant see it in winscp
[02:55] <Foxhoundz> or do I have to do some configuration
[02:55] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: note that any folder beginning "." is hidden
[02:56] <Foxhoundz> or dependency installation
[02:56] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: hit ctrl+h i believe to enable hidden files view
[02:56] <MartynKeigher> yup... nothing hidden here.
[02:56] <wilee-nilee> MartynKeigher, cd ~/  is home
[02:56] <tomreyn> Foxhoundz: no sudo for make
[02:57] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: those guides would have additional steps if they needed more
[02:57] <MartynKeigher> http://i.imgur.com/eEE9dRI.jpg    &     http://i.imgur.com/sTnkEKa.jpg
[02:57] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: i found this one myself, which pulls from elsewhere - http://blog.danielscrivano.com/installing-rtl8812au-on-linux-for-wireless-dual-band-usb-adapters/
[02:58] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: you're in a folder in PuTTY, perhaps you need to refresh the view in WinSCP
[02:58] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: oh, you're also root.
[02:58] <tomreyn> Foxhoundz: well not for anything but "make install" anyways.
[02:58] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: so note where i said 'currently logged on user', type 'pwd' in your PuTTY session.
[02:59] <MartynKeigher> i can actually approach this another way..... so the cmd to transfer btw 2 machines is this..... scp /etc/pki/tls/certs/logstash-forwarder.crt user@server_private_IP:/tmp
[02:59] <pocketpc> Is there any way to make libnotify popups appear in fullscreen apps? If not, is there somewhere where I could make a feature request?
[02:59] <MartynKeigher> but what is 22 is NOT the default port. its setup at a diff port.
[03:00] <MartynKeigher> http://i.imgur.com/CqikJF2.jpg
[03:00] <tomreyn> Foxhoundz: also consider to: sudo update-usbids
[03:00] <MartynKeigher> kinda stuck at the transfer
[03:00] <Foxhoundz> what does that do?
[03:01] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: you know for certain the other host has sshd running?
[03:01] <tomreyn> Foxhoundz: update the device descriptions for given usb device id's so that lsusb will provide better matching output for some devices (hopefully including yours)
[03:01] <MartynKeigher> yup
[03:02] <MartynKeigher> i'll double check again though
[03:02] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: confirmed with "netstat -tuln" to see :22 listening for IPv4?
[03:02] <daftykins> (on that host)
[03:02] <MartynKeigher> yup, but its on 22055 not 22
[03:03] <MartynKeigher> http://i.imgur.com/jG5q7lp.jpg
[03:03] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: so you need to specify that with your scp command, add the parameter after user@IP of "-p #"
[03:03] <MartynKeigher> ah.... -p
[03:03] <MartynKeigher> got it! thats what i needed. one sec. let me try!
[03:04] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: when you're not 100% on a command's syntax, you can always look at man pages eh? "man scp"
[03:05] <eXile> I have something really strange happening, after boot, about 5 minutes or so later, theres a crazy loop of "lshw | grep version | head -1", so many times I actully run out of memory, load skyrocket. I cant seem to find where its running from any ideas?
[03:05] <Foxhoundz> ok
[03:05] <Foxhoundz> I ran make!
[03:05] <Foxhoundz> it's doing it's thing
[03:05] <NinjaSaves> Wow
[03:05] <NinjaSaves> good for you
[03:05] <Foxhoundz> I'm so excited! :D
[03:05] <Foxhoundz> Stop ruining my moment, Ninja!
[03:05] <NinjaSaves> i've never managed to do it successfully
[03:05] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: that's lovely but you're oversharing
[03:06] <Foxhoundz> ...and error
[03:06] <eXile> maybe its a cron job or something...
[03:06] <daftykins> well don't keep us in suspense, Foxhoundz ;)
[03:06] <NinjaSaves> Whiskey is great
[03:07] <MartynKeigher> daftykins ... DONE! thanks for the -P
[03:07] <daftykins> MartynKeigher: any time.
[03:07] <Foxhoundz> no , no it worked
[03:08] <MartynKeigher> scp -P 22055 ~/logstash-forwarder/logstash-forwarder_0.3.1_amd64.deb dashing@<IP_ADDRESS>:/tmp   << That did it!
[03:08] <daftykins> hmm, not wher ei'd have put it but ok :)
[03:10] <Foxhoundz> ok it looks like it worked. I ran make, sudo make install, nd then update-usbids
[03:10] <Foxhoundz> everything seems to have completed successfully
[03:10] <neil0mac> OK.  I have managed to install Ubuntu - but as an option to boot on C: Drive - not the the HDD connected via my USB3 port.
[03:10] <Foxhoundz> but iwconfig still doesn't show my wireless NIC
[03:10] <NinjaSaves> What are you coding Foxhoundz
[03:11] <NinjaSaves> man... linux and wireless NICs though
[03:11] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: restart
[03:11] <Foxhoundz> NinjaSaves: I'm compiling a driver for this: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_T4U
[03:11] <Foxhoundz> daftykins: does it require it ? I'm currently in a live environment
[03:11] <holstein> might need to to get a kernel module to load..
[03:11] <NinjaSaves> Oh, you know more than me about C*
[03:11] <NinjaSaves> or whatever.
[03:12] <NinjaSaves> Oh, compiling. Not programming. DOn't mind me.
[03:12] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: why are you doing this in a live session 0o
[03:12] <Foxhoundz> just to see if this would even work. I currently have Windows installed
[03:12] <Foxhoundz> I suppose I can dual boot them for now
[03:13] <daftykins> aiming to convert?
[03:13] <Foxhoundz> This is an intel nuc. I always wanted it to run Linux as a headless machine
[03:13] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: you might be able to "sudo service network-manager restart"
[03:13] <Foxhoundz> but not having this WiFi card work forced me to use Windows 8.1
[03:13] <daftykins> if it's headless can't it live where it can be cabled in 0o
[03:14] <Foxhoundz> daftykins: it's also used sometimes as an XBMC server :p
[03:14] <Foxhoundz> it's connected to my bedroom TV
[03:14] <daftykins> i see
[03:14] <daftykins> i'm sat in front of my XBMC HTPC right now.
[03:15] <Foxhoundz> daftykins: network-manager doesn't seem to exist
[03:15] <Foxhoundz> you mean networking?
[03:15] <daftykins> no i do not
[03:15] <daftykins> restarting networking doesn't work properly anymore i don't think
[03:15] <daftykins> has an interface been created? "ifconfig -a"
[03:16] <Foxhoundz> I see an eth0 and lo
[03:16] <Foxhoundz> but no wlan0
[03:16] <daftykins> did your guide page have the modprobe command?
[03:17] <Foxhoundz> What guide page?
[03:17] <daftykins> well whatever you were following, did it include running "sudo modprobe 8812au" ?
[03:18] <Foxhoundz> I followed this http://blog.danielscrivano.com/installing-rtl8812au-on-linux-for-wireless-dual-band-usb-adapters/
[03:19] <daftykins> so... "yes" ? :)
[03:19] <Foxhoundz> but the actual source info didn't have anything
[03:19] <Foxhoundz> but yes
[03:19] <Foxhoundz> I did
[03:19] <Foxhoundz> https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
[03:19] <actumegafoot> http://actumegafoot.tk/
[03:19] <cfhowlett> actumegafoot no spam.  no thank you.
[03:20] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: you know that's not the github link in the page?
[03:20] <asarch> One question about LVM: can I boot if the /boot partitions is part of the main LVM group?
[03:20] <LanDi> lol
[03:20] <LanDi> www.lolnux.com
[03:20] <asarch> In the howto, they use a separate /boot partition
[03:20] <cfhowlett> !spam|LanDi
[03:21] <LanDi> haha, it's just a funny quote
[03:21] <JoeSaan> How do I set up my Ubuntu 14.04 server so I don't have to use the -CAPath option with SSL?
[03:21] <cfhowlett> LanDi and yet, this is a support channel so - please don't.
[03:21] <JoeSaan> For some reaon OpenSSL just won't recognise the ca-certs?
[03:22] <JoeSaan> Well, won't automatically recognise..
[03:22] <Foxhoundz> daftykins: I didn't realize that
[03:22] <LanDi> ubottu: sorry
[03:22] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: ones a fork of the other though, so it might not be relevant
[03:22] <Foxhoundz> I'm compiling the source from the blog post as we speak
[03:22] <Foxhoundz> if it helps
[03:23] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: tell you what, did you have the adapter in the whole time?
[03:23] <daftykins> (plugged in)
[03:23] <Foxhoundz> ...
[03:23] <Foxhoundz> yes
[03:24] <Foxhoundz> I unplugged it
[03:24] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: "lsmod | grep 88" should list "8812au", then unplug and replug
[03:25] <Foxhoundz> nada :(
[03:25] <daftykins> "ifconfig -a" again?
[03:25] <Foxhoundz> still shows only eth0 and lo
[03:26] <Foxhoundz> I guess perhaps the source was not updated for Ubuntu's version of the kernel?
[03:26] <daftykins> well those repos do speak of 3.10.x kernels
[03:27] <Foxhoundz> well, I'm plugging it into a USB 3.0 port
[03:27] <Foxhoundz> would that affect it ?
[03:27] <daftykins> i would try a 2.0
[03:27] <Foxhoundz> ... :(
[03:28] <Foxhoundz> Intel NUC's ports are all 3.0
[03:28] <Foxhoundz> I guess I'm dead in the water heh
[03:28] <daftykins> before when you said nada
[03:28] <daftykins> was that to the lsmod command too?
[03:29] <Foxhoundz> lsmod | grep 88 shows 8812au in the list
[03:29] <neil0mac> While I can get the Ubuntu boot option, it doesn't actaully load.
[03:29] <daftykins> neil0mac: do you get as far as seeing 'try' on the menu?
[03:29] <neil0mac> No.
[03:30] <daftykins> neil0mac: which menu are you seeing then? black screen white text?
[03:30] <Guest95452> ?
[03:30] <Guest95452> nick
[03:31] <Guest95452> loaden
[03:31] <neil0mac> Umm. Yes AFAIK!
[03:31] <Guest95452> cat /tmp/test.lo
[03:31] <Guest95452> cat /tmp/test.log
[03:32] <daftykins> Guest95452: stop typing random junk in here please
[03:32] <JoeSaan> Why does this fail on Ubuntu 14.04: openssl s_client -connect google.com:443
[03:32] <JoeSaan>  ????
[03:34] <cfhowlett> JoeSaan works for me ...
[03:35] <JoeSaan> cfhowlett: You don't get 20: unable to get local issuer certificate ?
[03:36] <JoeSaan> cfhowlett: I'm using a fresh 14.04 Digital Ocean droplet which should be completely default?
[03:36] <daftykins> Foxhoundz + neil0mac - sorry guys i'm calling it a night now, feel free to ask other channel volunteers
[03:37] <Foxhoundz> ok
[03:37] <Foxhoundz> thanks for the help
[03:37] <neil0mac> Thanks for your efforts!
[03:40] <cfhowlett> JoeSaan sorry, I have no experience/knowledge on this topic.  ask someone else
[03:42] <JoeSaan> cfhowlett: thanks.
[03:43] <villandra> How do I learn if my motherboard/ chipset is compatible with a particular version of Ubuntu?
[03:44] <villandra> For instance, if my motherboard came out in 2011, it may be supported in the 2012 version of Ubuntu but not the current version?
[03:44] <histo> villandra: boot the live cd
[03:44] <villandra> If it works in live cd it will work if installed?
[03:44] <Guest95452> reboot
[03:45] <histo> villandra: same thing gets installed that's running on the live cd
[03:45] <histo> villandra: what chipset do you have?
[03:45] <villandra> Reason why I ask is my motherboard has a number of drivers that must be installed when Windows is installed - or it cna't for instance connect with the internet.
[03:45] <histo> villandra: https://www.linux.com/directory/Components/motherboards
[03:46] <villandra> My chipset is Intel H61.  Gigabyte H61M-D2P-B3
[03:46] <cfhowlett> villandra intel?  probably few if any issues with ubuntu
[03:46] <histo> villandra: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMotherboards
[03:47] <villandra> NIC is Realtek PCIe GBE family controller, RTL8111/8168/8411, on the RTL8111E chip.
[03:47] <histo> villandra: should be good to go
[03:47] <villandra> Onboard audio is also Realtek.
[03:48] <villandra> Online it variously says you have to jump through 50 hoops upside down to install these drivers, or they may not work.
[03:48] <histo> villandra: Don't think you'll have any issues
[03:48] <histo> villandra: boot the live cd and test that you have sound video etc... It runs live just like it does when installed
[03:48] <villandra> My instructor said one version, ont the most up to date, and no other version, may support my board because Linux doesn't keep old drivers.
[03:49] <villandra> LOL, but online someone said that only worked with live CD.
[03:51] <histo> villandra: you're instructor is wrong
[03:52] <histo> villandra: what version do you plan on installing?
[03:53] <histo> villandra: I'm sure if you look on kernel.org or intel's site you can see when support was added for your chipset.
[03:53] <histo> due to the speed of the development of the kernel, I'm sure that was some time ago.
[03:53] <villandra> I can't find my chipset or my mobo on any of the lists of supported or not supported hardware.
[03:54] <villandra> Intel's site?  I looked at a Linux site - where is Intel's?
[03:54] <masingerz> hi there
[03:55] <masingerz> !rules
[03:56] <talldave> I’m thinking about installing Ubuntu Server 12.04 onto a single disk as RAID 10.    Advisable?
[03:57] <histo> villandra: Is there a reason you don't want to try the livecd and find out?
[03:57] <cfhowlett> talldave #ubuntu-server channel might be a better source
[03:57] <masingerz> my installation doesnt seem to have a swap installed trusty 14.04
[03:58] <cfhowlett> !swap | masing
[03:58] <cfhowlett> !swap | masingerz
[03:58] <masingerz> ty
[03:59] <villandra> The Intel support center doesn't include Ubuntu as an operating system.
[03:59] <cfhowlett> villandra too true.
[04:00] <villandra> Doesn't include drivers either.
[04:00] <histo> talldave: how are you going to install on a single disk as raid anything?
[04:00] <histo> !raid | talldave
[04:00] <talldave> via CD
[04:00] <villandra> I don't see where the Intel site tells me which of its products work in Linux.
[04:01] <cfhowlett> villandra intel won't discuss it.  make a usb and test it yourself
[04:01] <histo> villandra: There isn't a list anywhere that will tell you.
[04:01] <talldave> thanks ubotto
[04:05] <rwivie> anyone have ubuntu 14.01 installed on a 27" iMac late 2013. I have sound from internal speakers until I try to play flash content in firefox. then it will only play through headphones.
[04:09] <histo> !mac | rwivie
[04:11] <rwivie> thanks histo but I didn't have a problem installing ubuntu on iMac. I am having a problem with flashplayer killing internal sound.
[04:13] <histo> rwivie: sorry though it linked to the ubuntu mac channel
[04:13] <rwivie> histo: no problem. thanks.
[04:13] <histo> rwivie: there is #ubuntu-mactel but no one there.
[04:13] <rwivie> ok I will check there maybe someone will show up.
[04:13] <histo> rwivie: also you mean 14.04 right?
[04:14] <rwivie> yes my mistake :)
[04:14] <villandra> I went to download install iso, and it wants me to choose between 32 bit if my machine has 2 gigs of RAM or less, or 64 bit.  I have a 32 bit machine with 4 gigs of RAM, and 64 bit software won't run on a 32 bit machine.  What should I download?
[04:14] <tortib> Is anyone in the market for a mechanical keyboard?  I'm trying to sell one of mine.
[04:14] <tortib> It has green switches
[04:14] <tortib> sorry if this is considered spam :x
[04:14] <histo> rwivie: check your sound preferences for output device when flash is playing.  there is also probably a box for jacksense
[04:14] <cfhowlett> tortib it is.  ask #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux
[04:14] <tortib> okay sorry, thanks.
[04:14] <rwivie> same problem with archlinux so maybe it is just a general linux flashplayer problem
[04:14] <cfhowlett> villandra 32 bit
[04:14] <villandra> OK!
[04:15] <villandra> quit
[04:16] <rwivie> histo: output devices when flashplayer is playing shows internal and headphones. either one plays through headphones.
[04:16] <rwivie> will check out jacksense
[04:17] <ThatSteve> Hello.
[04:30] <linuxuz3r> what are jobs for?
[04:30] <linuxuz3r> cron jobs
[04:30] <hipitihop> I have installed "alacarte" but that does not seem to provide a way for changing the "open with" menu in nautilus, anyone know the secret incantation
[04:31] <linuxuz3r> anyone
[04:31] <cfhowlett> !info cron
[04:31] <cfhowlett> linuxuz3r in a terminal, run this command:  man cron
[04:32] <RLW980> how to wipe a live hdd on ubuntu
[04:32] <linuxuz3r> ok
[04:32] <cfhowlett> RLW980 wiping a mounted hdd is inadviseable.  boot a live USB
[04:33] <ignacio_> hi all
[04:33] <ignacio_> I'm trying to install Ubuntu
[04:33] <ignacio_> But When i click continue in third page
[04:33] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ and?
[04:33] <RLW980> cfhowlett: i haven't got a live disk
[04:33] <ignacio_> I get "ubi-partman crashe "
[04:33] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ first thing to check:  integrity.  md5sum the downloaded ISO and the USB
[04:34] <cfhowlett> !md5sum
[04:34] <ignacio_> cfhowlett: let me see
[04:35] <ignacio_> cfhowlett: all is ok
[04:35] <ignacio_> oh no
[04:36] <ignacio_> efi.img is "FAILED"
[04:36] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ :)
[04:36] <ignacio_> this is why?
[04:36] <ignacio_> didnt work?
[04:36] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ efi.img failed = bad ISO.  use torrent to get a clean iso from ubuntu, md5sum the iso, make a USB, md5sum the USB
[04:37] <ignacio_> oh, I;ve downloaded it on mac os x
[04:37] <ignacio_> cfhowlett: if the md5sum of the iso is correct maybe this is a copy problem?
[04:37] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ wait, so you did NOT verify the USB?
[04:38] <ignacio_> cfhowlett: just now i do "md5sum -c md5sum.txt" in the usb
[04:38] <cfhowlett> ignacio_ and you're installing to a MAC, yes?
[04:38] <ignacio_> cfhowlett: yeah
[04:39] <cfhowlett> !mac   I've no experience with MAC.  I am now backing away from the keyboard
[04:39] <ignacio_> the md5sum of my downloaded iso and the original are the same
[04:39] <ignacio_> ok
[04:39] <ignacio_> Thanksa nyway
[04:42] <joke_art> how to use chinesse drawing tablet ?
[04:43] <cfhowlett> joke_art depends on the tablet and whether or not it's supported
[04:43] <joke_art> i use xp-pen
[04:44] <cfhowlett> joke_art never heard of it but if "xp" = windows XP, expect unforeseen consequences
[04:45] <joke_art> cfhowlett, it's detected as UC-Logic Technology Corp. on "lsusb"
[04:45] <joke_art> cfhowlett, how to use it?
[04:46] <cfhowlett> joke_art http://www.xp-pen.com/index.html  is their website.  no linux support mentioned that I can see.
[04:47] <cfhowlett> joke_art you could try installing windows drivers in Wine.  Or install windows to virtualbox and run it from there.
[04:47] <ignacio_> okay
[04:47] <ignacio_> I think I need to create again the usb
[04:47] <ignacio_> thanks cfhowlett
[04:47] <joke_art> cfhowlett, okay, i'll try it

[05:53] <nachokb> guys I have a question: I'm running Ubuntu GNOME Trusty on an optimus system; without realizing it, I unwillingly installed nvidia-prime (perhaps an update, or something)
[05:53] <nachokb> the system stopped booting
[05:53] <nachokb> nvidia-prime is not supported by either gdm nor gnome-shell
[05:54] <nachokb> before I realized what was happening, I needed a working environment, so I installed kubuntu-desktop (with lightdm)
[05:54] <nachokb> I dislike KDE, but I had work to do :P
[05:54] <nachokb> then I realized what happened, fixed it
[05:55] <nachokb> but now, when in GNOME, GTK2 apps looks like they use Qt for render (particularly the Oxygen theme)
[05:55] <nachokb> also some Qt apps have changed I think
[05:55] <Guest17929> algum brasileiro aqui ?
[05:56] <Loshki> linuxuz3r: yes, if you remember to extract with -p, which is the default if you are superuser
[05:56] <rahhh> i am having trouble getting to root of my phone
[05:56] <nachokb> so, first question is: where is GTK2 being configured? (in GNOME Tweak I choose Adwaita, but GTK2 apps keep using Oxygen with Qt)
[05:56] <Loshki> !br | Guest17929
[05:56] <rahhh> not sure how to do it
[05:57] <nachokb> I thought perhaps KDE touched some ~/.gtkrc but there's no such file in my computer
[05:59] <dotDeb> How do I change the boxy gray look in KDE
[05:59] <dotDeb> ?
[05:59] <dotDeb> I already changed the window buttons to a different them and changed the panel to a different them
[05:59] <dotDeb> theme*
[06:00] <dotDeb> but inside of windows the menus and buttons are boxy and gray
[06:00] <rahhh> i am trying to install ubuntu on phone and i am having trouble going root
[06:00] <rahhh> anyone?
[06:00] <dotDeb> rahhh if you are having trouble rooting there is probably a better IRC channel or forum than here
[06:01] <rahhh> hmm
[06:02] <dotDeb> rahhh androidforums.com would probably be a good place to start
[06:02] <rahhh> thx
[06:03] <dotDeb> np
[06:06] <dotDeb> anyone use KDE?
[06:11] <Ailen> I use KDE.
[06:11] <Ailen> and they left, oh well.

[06:49] <m000gle> Ever since updating to the newest versions, both the Chromium (open-source) browser and the branded Google Chrome have been unable to display Unicode characters in the URL bar.  Regardless of whether it is a search term being entered, or a URL containing Unicode characters, they appear appear either blank or as gibberish/mojibake.
[06:49] <m000gle> Every other program, and even the Chromium/Chrome website rendering, display these characters fine.

[06:59] <airtonix> histo: the way it's always been launched and recommended by the pulseaudio developers.
[06:59] <histo> airtonix: What is the problem you're experiencing?
[07:00] <airtonix> histo: [pulseaudio] module-tunnel.c: Stream died.

[07:01] <Guido1> Hello, I have two questions about instaling (X)ubuntu. I have one primary partition available and of cause logical partitions. Which part of linux should i put on the primary partition? How big should each partition be resp. on what is it depending?
[07:02] <e^0> histo: ok :)
[07:03] <histo> !partition | Guido1
[07:03] <cfhowlett> Guido1 the automatic install can handle those details for you, but if you insist on a manual installation, the main xubuntu can live quite well in an 8 GB partition.
[07:03] <wilee-nilee> Guido1, none of linux has to be on a primary, and what makes you think you need to have a primary, when you seem to have an extended with logicals already.
[07:04] <m000gle> histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7683804/ [Output of locale settings]
[07:05] <histo> m000gle: are you canadian?
[07:05] <histo> m000gle: well either way those look okay, not it. You could try downgrading the package.
[07:06] <m000gle> histo: Yes.  Canadian, but use Simplified Chinese input frequently.  The time is also manually set, to allow for ISO standard formats; so, the en_DK.UTF-8, there, is expected.
[07:06] <Guido1> wilee-nilee: There is also no need to put linux not on a primary. i also have a primary already. The MBR ca than be on a different partition as windows is, i guss
[07:07] <wilee-nilee> Guido1, the mbr is not in or on a partition it is the first 512MB of the hd.
[07:08] <e^0> histo: it is telling ppa-purge command not found
[07:09] <Guido1> wilee-nilee: together with the partition tabl etc, okee, but still which one would you prefeur on a primary partition if you have the possibility to put it there
[07:09] <joke_art> how to remove old kernel?
[07:09] <JohnQ> Ive never seen this before, but I just got home and me recently installed machine is saying "grub rescue>" ... should I just reboot and pray?  Or am I screwed?
[07:09] <wilee-nilee> Guido1, Sorry man your not making sense at least to me.
[07:10] <ramsub07> Hi guys, I have setup a dual monitor system on ubuntu 13.10. I am not able to open any application other than terminal from my monitor. Help pls ?
[07:10] <Guido1> cfhowlett: how is "main xubuntu" called during the instalation?
[07:11] <wilee-nilee> JohnQ, this a msdos or uefi computer?
[07:11] <cfhowlett> Guido1 "/"
[07:12] <AlbinoGeek> So, a user decided they wanted 12.04 on their VM; but the amd64 ISO freezes after confirming the password for the primary user.
[07:12] <JohnQ> wilee-nilee: Its definitely not msdos... mythbuntu... dunno what uefi is, so I'm going to go with a "no".
[07:12] <AlbinoGeek> What is the installer step after confirming the primary user's password?
[07:12] <wilee-nilee> !grub | JohnQ
[07:12] <JohnQ> The error message before the prompt is cut-off halfway so it is hard to read, but I think it says "/boot/grub/i386-pc/terminal.mod not found"
[07:13] <JohnQ> No windows on this machine.
[07:13] <JohnQ> mythbuntu only.  :-/
[07:13] <AlbinoGeek> The installer literally freezes up and sticks at this giant purple screen: http://i.imgur.com/sQk0qT1.png immediately after confirming the primary user password.  A box with a progress bar does pop up before the freeze, but it's gone in a very small time [ less than a second. ]  Is this the first drive scan perhaps?
[07:15] <ramsub07> Hi guys, I have setup a dual monitor system on ubuntu 13.10. I am not able to open any application other than terminal from my monitor. Help pls ?
[07:15] <Guido1> cfhowlett: and in gparted? I guess linux-swap
[07:15] <AlbinoGeek> There we go, I was finally able to take a screenshot on the progress : http://i.imgur.com/8eVke2a.png  It seems that Ubuntu 12.04 does not support being run inside KVM with VirtIO ?
[07:15] <cfhowlett> Guido1 the past practice suggested that /swap should be 2 times Ram ...
[07:16] <JohnQ> wilee-nilee: All those "restore grub" links seem to assume I can boot the machine.
[07:17] <wilee-nilee> JohnQ, read more you would use a live dvd/or usb
[07:17] <Guido1> cfhowlett: that would be 8 GB. can you also explain why it should be 2 times the ram?
[07:17] <JohnQ> ok
[07:17] <cfhowlett> !swap|Guido1 that would be from the days of limited ram i.e. if you had 4 GB you were doing good!  these days??
[07:19] <airtonix> histo: was actually a problem with avahi-daemon. config has ipv6 on by default and ipv4 off by default. pulseaudio doesn't work with ipv6 yet.
[07:19] <wilee-nilee> JohnQ, use this tool, and just run the bootinfo summary and post the url to it, before any repairs. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[07:20] <JohnQ> wilee-nilee: fantastic.  Thanks.
[07:20] <Guido1> ubottu, cfhowlett: the laptop will have 4 GB ram (expending if I have more money) Do you want to say that nowedays it's not any more two times the ram, but always 8 GB?
[07:21] <cfhowlett> Guido1 your choice ...
[07:22] <Guido1> cfhowlett: i want to set it up well the first time
[07:22] <cfhowlett> Guido1 is there a good reason NOT to go with 16 gb?
[07:24] <Guido1> cfhowlett: 16 GB ram? Yes, money - i'm a poor student
[07:24] <cfhowlett> Guido1 how big is your HDD?
[07:24] <Guido1> cfhowlett: 500
[07:25] <cfhowlett> Guido1  ...
[07:25] <Guido1> cfhowlett: how big should swap be in the case of 16 GB?
[07:25] <cfhowlett> Guido1 same formula.  pick a number and install.
[07:27] <Guido1> cfhowlett: okee, still two times. thanks. so maybe i can make swap 32 gb so that i don't have to do somthing if i upgrade the ram later
[07:27] <cfhowlett> Guido1 go for it man!
[07:29] <Kamuela> Anyone know why I have an odd issue with my video? Basically the screen is in a kind of low-dpi high contrast mode, and I have to switch resolutions back and forth until it randomly finds itself back to normal
[07:30] <wilee-nilee> Kamuela, Are you using a proprietary graphic driver?
[07:37] <Kamuela> wilee-nilee: I am, but the issue persists with whatever default 14.04 had and the Intel drivers
[07:38] <floown> hello
[07:38] <floown> I can not more reboot my Ubuntu server
[07:39] <floown> I'm connected with ssh in rescue mode
[07:39] <floown> what can I do now to resolv the problem?
[07:41] <Paul_-> don't know were else to ask this.  Where do you get information on the targets that bfd is capable of please?
[07:42] <wilee-nilee> Kamuela, Ah, well proprietary graphic drivers are not technically supported here, someone might help though, the key for that help is the graphic hardware info to start with.

[08:24] <e^0> histo: no
[08:24] <histo> e^0: what is the package name?
[08:24] <e^0> package name is npm
[08:24] <histo> e^0: what distro are you running?
[08:25] <e^0> ubuntu 14.04
[08:26] <histo> !info npm
[08:26] <histo> e^0: version there is 1.3.10
[08:27] <gufoe> Hi guys, which is the best irc client? I tried hexchat and xchat
[08:27] <histo> gufoe: weechat ...
[08:27] <cfhowlett> gufoe no such thing as "best" .. use the one that suitsyou
[08:27] <cfhowlett> !bestg
[08:27] <cfhowlett> !best
[08:27] <e^0> histo: that's the old version
[08:28] <histo> e^0: what does cat /etc/issue say??
[08:28] <histo> e^0: are you using a ppa or something?
[08:28] <bekks> gufoe: irssi :)
[08:28] <e^0> histo: ppa fails to instasll npm so have to go with ubuntu sources
[08:29] <gufoe> Ok, I'll try them tomorrow (now I have to study for exams :( )
[08:29] <e^0> histo: ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[08:30] <e^0> right now i have npm 1.4.9 installed
[08:30] <e^0> but this says the latest package is 1.3.10 same as yours
[08:30] <e^0> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=npm&searchon=names&suite=trusty&section=all
[08:30] <histo> e^0: well that's not from ubuntu
[08:30] <e^0> histo: i am using ubuntu from digital ocean
[08:30] <histo> e^0: the latest ubuntu versioni is 1.3.10 so you are pulling 1.4.9 somewhere else
[08:31] <bekks> apt-cache policy pkgname
[08:31] <histo> e^0: ^^^
[08:31] <histo> bekks: ty not on ubuntu at teh moment to check
[08:31] <e^0> ok
[08:33] <e^0> histo: bekks it says installed version is 1.3.10 but doing npm -v shows 1.4.9
[08:33] <histo> e^0: now that's interesting.
[08:33] <bekks> e^0: so run: which npm
[08:35] <e^0> ok doing it
[08:36] <bekks> e^0: and whats the output?
[08:38] <e^0> it says 1.4.9
[08:38] <histo> huh?
[08:38] <bekks> e^0: "which npm" will not tell you "1.4.9".
[08:38] <bekks> Run the command: which npm
[08:38] <histo> e^0: which should tell you the path to npm
[08:39] <histo> e^0: also dpkg -l | grep npm
[08:39] <histo> e^0: also find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -iname '*npm*'
[08:41] <e^0> the path is ~/.npm/v0.10.28/bin/npm
[08:41] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[08:42] <histo> e^0: okay you are running npm from your home
[08:42] <histo> e^0: did you install that there?
[08:42] <e^0> yes running from home
[08:42] <e^0> did sudo apt-get install nmp
[08:42] <histo> e^0: echo $PATH
[08:44] <e^0> histo: it is showinig in my home path
[08:44] <e^0> the above one
[08:44] <bekks> e^0: Whats the ouput of "echo $PATH"?
[08:46] <e^0> the path is ~/.npm/v0.10.28/bin/npm and all the other entry is empty
[08:46] <bekks> e^0: Whats the ouput of "echo $PATH"?
[08:47] <e^0> ok complete output ? ok wait
[08:47] <histo> e^0: yeah shouldn't be too long
[08:47] <e^0> the prob is i have to type it by hand instead of copy paste
[08:47] <e^0> just a sec
[08:48] <histo> e^0: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && echo $PATH | pastebinit
[08:48] <e^0> histo: thanks for saving the time :)
[08:48] <histo> e^0: why can't you copy and paste?
[08:49] <e^0> histo: right now i am using directly from digital ocean's console
[08:51] <histo> e^0: you can't copy out of a browser and paste here?
[08:51] <histo> e^0: either way what's in your $PATH
[08:54] <e^0> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7684201/
[08:55] <bekks> e^0: So that locally installed version in your home is preferred.
[08:56] <e^0> ok so what should i do now ?
[08:56] <histo> e^0: did you set that up?
[08:56] <oschiri72> ciao
[08:56] <e^0> no i did  nothing
[08:56] <bekks> e^0: Either remove that local installation in your home or change your path.
[08:56] <oschiri72> !list
[08:57] <e^0> bekks: ok removing under home also doing apt-get remove npm and then installing again
[08:57] <histo> e^0: where you running some weird scripts from the internet?  I have trouble believe your provider would do that.
[08:57] <bekks> e^0: No.

[08:58] <bekks> e^0: NO need to run apt-get remove. This isnt Windows.
[08:58] <histo> e^0: ls -la /etc/skel/  is there a .npm   directory in there?
[08:58] <histo> kristenbb: sudo update-grub
[08:58] <e^0> histo: no it is not there
[08:58] <e^0> bekks: ^
[08:59] <histo> e^0: change your path and you will be using the ubuntu version
[09:00] <e^0> histo:  how to do that ?
[09:03] <e^0> is it possible that i had installed ppa earlier that might have installed the different version ? but i have removed the ppa.
[09:04] <bekks> e^0: It is possible, but it has nothing to do with this issue.
[09:05] <e^0> bekks: so how can i change the text ?
[09:05] <bekks> e^0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[09:11] <airtonix> ugh... more frustration with the way pulseaudio has changed in 14.XX. i don't know how to properply address this bu, essentially when i disable the system owned daemonised instance of pulseaudio (and prevent it from respawning), then launch a user owned instance of it  my remote sinks show up on my netowork machines control panel > sound > output. reverting back t 14.XX default pulseaudio setup results in none of my zeroconf sinks being published
[09:11] <airtonix> or displayed.
[09:11] <e^0> bekks: thanks
[09:13] <JO0st> hey guys, i am trying to write a gui from python for the first time. Does ubuntu recommend a certain toolkit, and which ones will work?
[09:13] <airtonix> tl;dr: start-pulseaudio-x11 seems to prevent propler zeroconf advertisement of sinks/sources
[09:13] <airtonix> JO0st: qt5
[09:13] <airtonix> JO0st: via pyqt
[09:14] <histo> JO0st: ubuntu doesn't recommend anything
[09:14] <JO0st> airtonix: thanks, i'll start investigating it
[09:14] <airtonix> JO0st: this is for qt4, but you'll get the idea: http://zetcode.com/gui/pyqt4/
[09:14] <histo> meh qt
[09:15] <airtonix> JO0st: reason you want to use qt over gtk is that a) gtk is horrible b) qt is better c) qt  looks native on the platform it's being run on
[09:16] <JO0st> 5373Schaap
[09:16] <airtonix> it's actually a shame that gnome-shell is gtk, because i refuse to use kde
[09:16] <airtonix> JO0st: also pyside isn
[09:16] <prepangolin> Hi
[09:16] <prepangolin> I've somthing to ask.
[09:16] <airtonix> JO0st: also pyside isnt valid anymore.
[09:17] <histo> prepangolin: ask away
[09:17] <airtonix> histo: so when you were responding to me earlier about pulseaudio, did you actually have anything useful to contribute? or were you just replying for the sake of replying?
[09:17] <prepangolin> I tried to compile compiz on Ubuntu12.04.
[09:17] <histo> !ot | JO0st
[09:18] <e^0> histo: bekks even after removing npm and then doing npm -v states 1.4.9
[09:18] <prepangolin> After resarting then system freeze
[09:18] <prepangolin> hists: how to build successfully it?
[09:18] <histo> airtonix: was trying to get you to describe the problem you have. Sounded like you were unable to kill it and didn't knwo the proper way.
[09:18] <bekks> e^0: so run "which npm" again.
[09:19] <histo> e^0: did you log out and back in after correcting path?
[09:19] <airtonix> histo: interesting. so if you were to kill it, how would you do it?
[09:20] <e^0> yes
[09:20] <bekks> e^0: so run "which npm" again.
[09:21] <histo> airtonix: by stopping the service
[09:21] <airtonix> histo: just a heads up, that used to work before 14.XX, but it won't now
[09:21] <e^0> bekks: ok
[09:21] <airtonix> histo: it respawns itself.
[09:22] <prepangolin> histo: #archlinux channel refused me to join.
[09:22] <e^0> the path is ~/.npm/v0.10.28/bin/npm
[09:22] <bekks> prepangolin: So register your nickname.
[09:22] <e^0> bekks: ^
[09:22] <prepangolin> How can I join this channel.
[09:22] <histo> airtonix: edit your /etc/pulse/client.conf change autospawn
[09:22] <bekks> e^0: So you did not remove the local installation in your home as I told you.
[09:22] <histo> airtonix: or make a client.conf in your ~/.pulse
[09:23] <prepangolin> histo: #archlinux channel refused to join for me.
[09:23] <airtonix> histo: shouldn't have to do that now should I ? the situation with pulseaudio right now is utterly stupid.
[09:23] <e^0> bekks: i did sudo rm -rf .npm
[09:23] <histo> airtonix: also try pactl exit
[09:23] <prepangolin> How can I join there successfully?
[09:23] <prepangolin> Have you any clue for that?
[09:23] <bekks> e^0: Which did not remove the local installation but the users config.
[09:23] <histo> prepangolin: you're in the channel
[09:23] <trijntje> !nickserv | prepangolin
[09:24] <bekks> e^0: Sorry, misread. Since "which" still shows that path, you did not remove that directory, for various possible reasons.
[09:24] <e^0> bekks: ok , but i also did sudo apt-get remove npm
[09:25] <bekks> e^0: Which I told you not to do.
[09:25] <bekks> e^0: So why did you do that?
[09:26] <e^0> as that directory was showing the npm version still after removing that directory
[09:26] <e^0> :/
[09:26] <e^0> sorry
[09:26] <bekks> e^0: It was showing the version because you did not remove "~/.npm".
[09:27] <bekks> e^0: ls -lha .npm will still show it.
[09:27] <bekks> e^0: Pastebin the output of "ls -lha .npm" please.
[09:28] <e^0> bekks: ok
[09:28] <bekks> e^0: corrected version: "ls -lha ~/.npm/"
[09:29] <sveta> e^0, any good?
[09:30] <e^0> damn i am hating digital ocean now :/
[09:31] <bekks> e^0: DigitialOcean cant do anything about you not removing a directory correctly.
[09:31] <t0k> howdy
[09:31] <bekks> e^0: So pastebin the information requested.
[09:31] <histo> e^0: I seriously doubt digital ocean did this
[09:31] <e^0> bekks: the interface becomme unresponsive
[09:31] <bekks> e^0: So log in using ssh.
[09:31] <e^0> no other issues with digital ocean
[09:31] <_Crash_Laptop> Hi, just installed ffmpeg via "sudo apt-get installed ffmpeg" in Ubuntu 12.04 and when i try and run "ffmpeg" through terminal it cannot locate it "The program 'ffmpeg' is currently not installed.  To run 'ffmpeg' please ask your administrator to install the package 'libav-tools'". I had removed the binary ffmpeg when i compiled it but i've ran the install three times and even removed it fully before re-installing with
[09:31] <_Crash_Laptop>   "remove --purge" - any ideas?
[09:32] <t0k> how yall doing today ?
[09:32] <bekks> e^0: Login using ssh and provide the information requested.
[09:32] <sveta> e^0, I recall some people here don't like asking multiple times unfortunately - it may be a good idea to just do what you're asked, or tell them to wait
[09:32] <e^0> let me login using ssh
[09:32] <sveta> thank you! :)
[09:32] <_Crash_Laptop> seems like it cant locate the binary..
[09:33] <_Crash_Laptop> ^^
[09:33] <bekks> e^0: thats what I told you two times already. :P
[09:33] <Nothing_Much> How do I report a bug for XMir?
[09:33] <Nothing_Much> Or XMir and radeon to be exact?
[09:34] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: how did you remove the binary?
[09:34] <e^0> sorry bekks will take care from now on
[09:34] <Nothing_Much> How do I report a bug for XMir and radeon?
[09:34] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: did you compile ffmpeg from source or are you using apt-get?
[09:34] <histo> !bug | Nothing_Much
[09:34] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, via "rm dir" - cant remember the location at which it was
[09:35] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, i recently compiled it but i removed it via "sudo make distclean" and now i installed it via apt-get
[09:35] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: what happens when you try to apt-get install ffmpeg  ?
[09:36] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, "ffmpeg is already the newest version."
[09:36] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: so it is installed.  apt-get install libav-tools
[09:37] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, ii did that already and still no avail
[09:37] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, "libav-tools is already the newest version.
[09:37] <_Crash_Laptop> "
[09:37] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: so what is the error when you run ffmpeg?
[09:37] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, "The program 'ffmpeg' is currently not installed.  To run 'ffmpeg' please ask your administrator to install the package 'libav-tools'"
[09:38] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: which ffmpeg
[09:38] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: in a terminal 'which ffmpeg'
[09:38] <brontosaurusrex> histo, ubuntu doesn't have ffmpeg any more
[09:38] <sveta> aw
[09:38] <brontosaurusrex> histo, http://askubuntu.com/questions/432542/is-ffmpeg-missing-from-the-official-repositories-in-14-04
[09:39] <histo> !info ffmpeg
[09:39] <sushixdesu> he's on like 12.04 i think
[09:39] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, yeah that command doesnt report anything
[09:39] <_Crash_Laptop> yep
[09:39] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: which version of ubuntu are you running?
[09:39] <histo> !info ffmpeg precise
[09:39] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, 12.04
[09:39] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[09:40] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, done, still the same error
[09:40] <_Crash_Laptop> reports that it isnt installed when it is

[09:41] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, "ii  ffmpeg                                4:0.8.12-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>           Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder (transitional package)"
[09:41] <_Crash_Laptop> its reporting its there
[09:42] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: dpkg -L ffmpeg
[09:42] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: does that show all the files from ffmpeg?
[09:42] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, nope, just the docs and "/usr/share" and "/usr" and "/."

[09:43] <histo> ahh
[09:43] <sushixdesu> The real problem is probably with libav-tools
[09:43] <Ben64> nope, the problem is a self installed version
[09:44] <histo> yeap
[09:44] <_Crash_Laptop> what would i have to do?
[09:44] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: remove that symlink
[09:45] <Ben64> _Crash_Laptop: doesn't look like you removed the compiled version cleanly
[09:45] <_Crash_Laptop> hmm, i've not done symlinks in a while
[09:45] <_Crash_Laptop> not sure how to remove / which arrangement to put the syntax
[09:45] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo rm /usr/bin/ffmpeg
[09:45] <_Crash_Laptop> ah
[09:45] <_Crash_Laptop> ok ty lol
[09:46] <bekks> e^0: Did you connect using ssh finally?
[09:46] <_Crash_Laptop> done
[09:46] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo rm -r /usr/local/ffmpeg
[09:46] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, done
[09:46] <airtonix> histo: i'm at a loss as to how i should debug this situation. starting pulseaudio as my user with -vvvv allows me to see my sinks in the sound control panel. but in default system mode they do not.
[09:46] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg && sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg* && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[09:46] <e^0> bekks: yes done :D :D
[09:46] <switchtehbeat> can anyone tell me when there's going to be a new release of ubuntu?
[09:46] <e^0> now it's fast
[09:47] <airtonix> histo: nothing obvious shows up in /var/log/syslog
[09:47] <satty> hey guys
[09:47] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, hmm still "The program 'ffmpeg' is currently not installed.  To run 'ffmpeg' please ask your administrator to install the package 'libav-tools'"
[09:47] <cfhowlett> !utonic|switchtehbeat
[09:47] <Ben64> _Crash_Laptop: purge and reinstall again

[09:48] <e^0> bekks: ls: cannot access .npm: No such file or directory
[09:48] <_Crash_Laptop> Ben64, still the same error
[09:48] <switchtehbeat> wait, what? what happened to 14.04.04?
[09:48] <histo> switchtehbeat: there is a release every april and october

[09:50] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, honestly i cant remember
[09:51] <e^0> bekks: which path i am currently on ?
[09:51] <e^0> i am in my home directory
[09:51] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: pastebin apt-cache policy ffmpeg    and your /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:51] <e^0> the executed teh command you told
[09:51] <bekks> e^0: So what happens when you run "which npm" again?
[09:51] <aeon-ltd> partially offtopic, why is it a 6 month cycle? why not one year then the naming scheme can be reduced to one number? Or do users like new stuff every 6 months or something?
[09:52] <e^0> bekks: returns nothing
[09:52] <bekks> aeon-ltd: you can either use every release every 6 months, or use the LTS releases only.
[09:52] <brontosaurusrex> aeon-ltd, why not 10 years and a rolling release thingy?
[09:53] <kostkon> switchtehbeat, 14.04.04?
[09:53] <switchtehbeat> yeah was suppose to be june or july
[09:53] <aeon-ltd> brontosaurusrex: i'd actually like a rolling release ubuntu
[09:54] <kostkon> switchtehbeat, that would be 14.04.1
[09:54] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, ffmpeg cache policy- http://pastebin.com/BJp5etPK | sources - http://pastebin.com/RVBPJJEz
[09:54] <histo> aeon-ltd: then run debian testing
[09:54] <switchtehbeat> oh lmao!
[09:54] <aeon-ltd> histo: have you tried it? is the support close to level of ubuntu's?
[09:55] <cfhowlett> aeon-ltd testing = bleeding edge.
[09:56] <aeon-ltd> cfhowlett: bleeding edge like arch or absolutely bleeding edge like betas + nightlies?
[09:56] <cfhowlett> aeon-ltd latter
[09:56] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: now what does which ffmpeg   say?
[09:56] <sushixdesu> arch is "bleeding edge" in a sense  but the default repos are stable
[09:57] <aeon-ltd> cfhowlett, histo, + others: thank you for answering
[09:57] <histo> aeon-ltd: no not like ubuntu.
[09:58] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, do you mean what it says once i run ffmpeg?
[09:58] <histo> sushixdesu: I'd disagree with that. I've seen some bugs recently with the latest kernel from arch.
[09:58] <e^0> bekks: now which npm shows /usr/bin/npm
[09:58] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: no in a terminal type 'which ffmpeg'    without "
[09:58] <e^0> also npm -v shows 1.3.10
[09:58] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, just "shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory"
[09:59] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: close your terminal you have open and re-open one
[09:59] <sushixdesu> hmm? I haven't noticed any significant bugs with latest arch kernel but i'm sure theres something there haha
[10:00] <histo> sushixdesu: I've been getting kernel panics with a i915 graphics
[10:00] <histo> sushixdesu: some sort of power mgmt. issue
[10:01] <bekks> e^0: So everything is alright now. :)
[10:01] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, the which ffmpeg doesnt report anything
[10:02] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: pastebin the output of dpkg -L ffmpeg
[10:02] <sushixdesu> dunno, always used radeon :/
[10:05] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, http://pastebin.com/eyhYHecX
[10:05] <e^0> bekks: thanks for your help :)
[10:05] <histo> wth Ben64 ^^^ _Crash_Laptop
[10:06] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: did you run my one really long command with the rm /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg*   ?
[10:06] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, nope, should i run it?
[10:07] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg && sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg* && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

[10:10] <_Crash_Laptop> Omnipotent, lol ty
[10:10] <_Crash_Laptop> histo, alright
[10:11] <histo> Ben64: yeah but the package is coming from ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net  so that mirror must be wrecked
[10:11] <Ben64> sarge repos, lucid repo
[10:11] <Ben64> not necessarily
[10:11] <cfhowlett> !lucid
[10:11] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: yeah your sources.list is all kinds of mess
[10:11] <Ben64> i bet the mirror is fine, but the other repositories and/or installing ffmpeg manually and not uninstalling properly borked it
[10:12] <_Crash_Laptop> yeah im unsure what to do
[10:12] <histo> He could try unpacking the deb and seeing what files are in it
[10:12] <milad191> how can i take a picture of terminal ?
[10:12] <histo> or just md5sum comparing it to apt-cache showsrc ffmpeg
[10:12] <Omnipotent> if you are in gui mode, just screenshot?
[10:12] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: md5sum /var/cache/apt/archives/ffmpeg*
[10:13] <Omnipotent> or well, paste everything on the terminal
[10:13] <Omnipotent> NOT HERE THOUGH
[10:13] <Ben64> histo: man i was just about to suggest that
[10:13] <milad191> how exactly ?

[10:18] <histo> _Crash_Laptop: perhaps Ben64 will have something else to add. But basically that deb sum is the proper one however, it doesn't contain the executable for ffmpeg
[10:18] <Ben64> Guest32061: don't do that
[10:18] <Guest32061> what do you mean why
[10:18] <histo> Guest32061: are you trying to ugprade to trusty?
[10:19] <Ben64> Guest32061: upgrade with "sudo do-release-upgrade"
[10:19] <_Crash_Laptop> Ben64, relying on you for help :D

[10:20] <histo> Guest32061: pastebin  the output of cat /etc/issue   and your /etc/apt/sources.list  file please

[10:26] <ravindu> Hello
[10:27] <ravindu> I setup a web server on ubuntu server 14.04 64bit
[10:27] <ravindu> How do I get a domain name for it?
[10:27] <histo> ravindu: godaddy.com
[10:27] <Ben64> namecheap.com ... godaddy isn't nice
[10:27] <ravindu> so once I buy a domain name, how do I 'assign' it to my home web server?
[10:27] <milad191> how can i delete all of these files ? http://i59.tinypic.com/1z58cuv.png
[10:28] <Ben64> milad191: deleting files isn't usually a good idea unless you know exactly what they're there for
[10:28] <ravindu> milad191 is that a package?
[10:29] <milad191> i unistalled it
[10:29] <ravindu> milad191, If so, remove it with sudo apt-get remove /*packagenamegoeshere*/
[10:29] <milad191> these files remains after i removed the package
[10:29] <ravindu> histo, Ben64 , once I buy a domain name, how do I 'assign' it to my home web server?
[10:30] <Guest32061> ok I have pate it in the bin
[10:30] <Guest32061> here it is  http://paste.ubuntu.com/7684550/
[10:30] <Ben64> ravindu: that is a more appropriate question for ##networking ... you need to set up the dns
[10:30] <ravindu> Ben64, kthx
[10:30] <histo> ravindu: does your ip change at home?
[10:30] <histo> milad191: use purge
[10:31] <histo> milad191: apt-get purge packagename
[10:31] <Guest32061> histo here is the paste bin link   http://paste.ubuntu.com/7684550/

[10:37] <histo> milad191: then try locate
[10:38] <Guest32061> E: The value 'Trusty Tahr' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[10:40] <histo> Guest32061: sudo rm -r /root/.synaptic

[10:45] <nkh> Ben64: Is that still so bad? Should I avoid paste the link? :D :|
[10:45] <Ben64> nkh: not on topic here at all

[10:47] <nkh> Ben64: Ok then :D :) have a nice day :)
[10:52] <osier> dayangkun, ping
[10:54] <B0073D> Is there any way to display a raid health icon on the iconbar along with all the other icons?
[10:55] <B0073D> I'd rather not have to manually check it. Yes I could write a script but I thought I'd see if anything existed before I reinvent the wheel
[10:55] <B0073D> 14.04 btw
[10:58] <bnutzer> hello. i'd like to try out an ubuntu live system to see whether it supports my hw. the default image is 964 MB, which won't fit into 1 "GB" stick. any alternatives?
[10:59] <B0073D> The lubuntu images might be smaller if you're not after unity specifically.
[11:02] <bnutzer> B0073D: i'd only like to see what it would do with optimus and/or nvidia drivers. the nvidia driver is quite evil
[11:03] <milad191> how can i access hidden folders with termina ?
[11:03] <B0073D> milad191: Hidden folders have dots in front of them
[11:03] <bnutzer> milad191: you want to see them? ls -a
[11:03] <B0073D> as bnutzer said, ls -a to see them then just cd .hiddenfolder
[11:04] <milad191> how can i open hidden folders with terminal ?
[11:04] <B0073D> Open?
[11:04] <B0073D> What kind of file is this?
[11:05] <milad191> .cache i want to go to this and delete something
[11:05] <B0073D> .cache is a directory
[11:05] <bnutzer> heh. i spent over 6 hours installing and tweaking windows 8, only to find out that win8 is even more awful than i thought and that the optimus support isn't good on windows either
[11:06] <B0073D> so you cd into it:> cd .cache
[11:06] <B0073D> then remove what you need from in there
[11:06] <B0073D> It seems to be a little less resource hungry than 7. But thats about it really.
[11:08] <LrdArc> does anyone know where is the ubuntu launcher icon ( http://imgur.com/7ZzTf6Z ) located? and how can I edit this?
[11:09] <LrdArc> I just need to change the background because my weird monitor can't read white background.
[11:09] <bnutzer> LrdArc: have you looked under /usr/share/icons ?
[11:09] <LrdArc> i did
[11:11] <bnutzer> does the nvidia graphic driver override common system files on ubuntu? on some distros, it breaks for example, the intel driver
[11:13] <LrdArc> I found this http://imgur.com/um8OF2M by searching from nautilus, but it seems not the file for unity start launcher
[11:13] <B0073D> bnutzer: Do you have an existing windows PC?
[11:13] <B0073D> Never mind, I was thinking VM but that wont help your nvidia testing.
[11:14] <B0073D> Unless you have two cards and something that does pcie passthrough.
[11:15] <bnutzer> B0073D: yeah. wouldn't help with optimus. i also know that dri_prime works on other distros, but the nvidia driver breaks things (nvidia doesn't officially support much other distros than ubuntu)
[11:16] <B0073D> I havent had any issues with nvidia on recent releases but I'm not using optimis
[11:16] <B0073D> optimus even
[11:19] <bnutzer> B0073D: thanks anyway. i'll get back into this later
[11:19] <Camellia21>  You can find funny videos here. http://bitly.com/1qrFuVB
[11:20] <B0073D> Urgh
[11:21] <LrdArc> does anyone know where is the ubuntu launcher icon ( http://imgur.com/7ZzTf6Z ) located? and how can I edit this?
[11:21] <B0073D> LrdArc: What is the issue? You could try changing iconsets?
[11:22] <B0073D> LrdArc: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/changing-the-ubuntu-start-menu-panel-icon/
[11:22] <LrdArc> B0073D: i couldn't find ubuntu start icon on these folder
[11:23] <B0073D> do a locate start-here
[11:23] <e^0> how to secure my ssh connection ?
[11:23] <B0073D> on your system
[11:23] <B0073D> That will tell you where the files are.
[11:33] <Jeffrey_f> Question on the U1 Downloader for getting all the data from UbuntuOne.  The instruction page looks like it may be missing an item;  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/U1/Downloader/Linux/How_to_Use
[11:36] <IdleOne> Jeffrey_f: The right channel to ask would be #ubuntuone, but there is nothing missing from those instructions
[11:36] <Ben64> Jeffrey_f: looks more like someone edited that page to be silly
[11:37] <Jeffrey_f> IdleOne: What do you see as instruction #1??
[11:37] <IdleOne> Jeffrey_f: that is some silliness. The download link works
[11:38] <Jeffrey_f> IdleOne: I'll look further.  It is early, maybe my coffee didn't kick in yet  :)
[11:40] <Ben64> there, i fixed it :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/U1/Downloader/Linux/How_to_Use
[11:40] <IdleOne> Good job Ben64
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Going to be glad when that U1 is dead and gone. Its all Ive been hearing about recently
[11:41] <k1l_> Jeffrey_f: some one edited the wiki page. this was not intended to be edited that way
[11:42] <Tin_man> i was reading in a PDF file called "The Linux Command Line", and i read that all modern Linux system should have a folder called Lost&Found, but after looking at my system (Ubuntu 14.04) I don't see that file, all the other files it mentioned are there though.. I've been using Ubuntu 14.04 since April, and I don't know if when I first started out I might of accidentally deleted it or not.  Should I create a folder and name it Lost&Found?
[11:42] <Tin_man> under /root?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> Tin_man: do you have a seperate partition for /home ?
[11:43] <Ben64> Tin_man: it gets created when you make an ext(2,3,4) system, and is in the root of the filesystem. it's called "lost+found" and you don't really need it
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Tin_man: you will have lost+found in /
[11:43] <Tin_man> i'm on ext4. don't know if i do have a small partition it might be there
[11:43] <Tin_man> ok
[11:44] <Tin_man> let me do some checking
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> Tin_man: ls / | grep -i lost
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> Tin_man: sudo updatedb; locate lost
[11:45] <Tin_man> ok
[11:45] <k1l_> Tin_man: it might be created when you run a fsck
[11:46] <Tin_man> ok thanks, i do have 3 partitions (1 file system, 2 ext partition 2.1gig, 3 swap 2.1 gig)
[11:46] <Tin_man> i'm not sure what that 2nd partition is truthfully...
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Tin_man: is it mounted?
[11:47] <k1l_> Tin_man: see "mount" and look if this is mounted as /home or something
[11:50] <Tin_man>  i ran the update lost have about 5 screen full of lost stuff
[11:51] <Jeffrey_f> k1l_: Thanks
[11:53] <RMYC> good morning #ubuntu
[11:53] <RMYC> thank you for your contributions to software development worldwide, you are loved! =)
[11:54] <Cuber> Hey, my laptop's screen doesn't turn back on if I put it to standby by closing the lid. I have an AMD GPU.
[11:54] <guyan> interested
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> Cuber: what make / model?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> Cuber: and what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[11:57] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, It's a HP Pavilion dv7,
[11:57] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, one moment
[11:58] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, /etc/issue outputs this: "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[11:58] <Cuber> "
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> Cuber: let me search the web.....
[11:59] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, much appreciated
[12:00] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, I'm not using the proprietary AMD drivers because they lag up the PC to unbearable levels in case you were wondering
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> Cuber: do you have the boot option: acpi_backlight=vendor
[12:01] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, I'm sorry, where can I check that?
[12:03] <PoolShark_> morning... what's the login script that is run on login that gives the info display (IP, uptime, etc...)?
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Cuber: its not default. You can add it. Have you tried CTRL+ALT+F1 then CTRL+ALT+F7 after you open the lid?
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> PoolShark_: ifconfig and uptime give that
[12:04] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, Yes I tried, didn't seem to work. It's not that my screen is just black, even the backlight is off
[12:05] <PoolShark_> ActionParsnip: I know that, but I'm talking about the script that is run when you log into the CLI that parses all that handy info and gives the nice summary
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> Cuber: try the boot option, may help
[12:05] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, Okay, I'll try
[12:05] <Cuber> BRB
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> PoolShark_: not seen that. You could check the motd setings to see what it runs.
[12:07] <PoolShark_> ahh I found it
[12:07] <PoolShark_>  /etc/update-motd.d
[12:08] <GLaDER> Hi! I'm trying to get three monitors on 2 GPU's to work, anyone got any recommendation? I get an error saying: "Could not set the configuration for CRTC 64". Two of the monitors are working but the last one is completely black.
[12:08] <t0k> man why the hell does chocolate doom crash on me after about 20 sec into the game
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> T0k: launch it from terminal. The output may be useful
[12:16] <t0k> i figured it out :) thnx tho
[12:20] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, Unfortunately that didn't do the trick
[12:28] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, I'll try video.use_native_backlight=1
[12:28] <Eeinn> Here's a funny question, why is GRUB only working every other shutdown/startup? :) When I shutdown ubuntu, it reboots to windows. When I shutdown windows, it reboots to grub. lol
[12:29] <Cuber> Tried holding Shift when it's booting?
[12:30] <Eeinn> no, what does that do?
[12:33] <Aussie_matt> Hi all. I have 12.04, with xfce, trying to install a hp printer (wireless prefereably) I've installed print manager, cups, and hplip & hp toolbox, but when I open print manager it says printer service not available..any ideas?
[12:34] <Cuber> ActionParsnip, Seems like those boot options don't work
[12:34] <Cuber> Well, what I mean they don't help my case
[12:39] <GLaDER> So, I've got my three monitors working (using nvidia-settings) but now I'm experiencing blurry text - suggestions?
[12:43] <GLaDER> And after a couple of reboots it works... I'm starting to hate this dist...
[12:43] <Gaurav_> hey i want ubuntu 64 bit
[12:43] <GLaDER> (Never mind, it's back, as it should be.)
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Gaurav_: go get it....
[12:44] <csj> you only need patience
[12:53] <GLaDER> No one got any input? All text in any window becomes pixelated and green/pink/etc. This happened after changing the rotation of one of my screens.
[12:55] <sydney> !patience
[12:55] <TJ-> GLaDER: cables/connections were disturbed, often-times.
[12:57] <kittykitty> anyone know how to stop the keyboard reverting to american english layout on boot? Im using the uk english one and it keeps swapping when i reboot :/
[13:00] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  which desktop environment are you using?
[13:00] <kittykitty> unity
[13:00] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  does it not have keyboard options where you can sort the order of layouts?
[13:01] <kittykitty> but the american one isnt even enabled....
[13:02] <RaptorJesus> hey gaiz
[13:02] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  i'm not familiar with unity, but what if you just add the line "setxkbmap gb" to ~/.xinitrc ?
[13:02] <kittykitty> got uk english, russian and german enabled. English is the first one
[13:02] <kittykitty> hm ok, ill try that
[13:02] <RaptorJesus> have you gaiz seen Tron: Legacy?
[13:02] <RaptorJesus> http://i.imgur.com/llSyHpj.jpg
[13:02] <RaptorJesus> didja know Encom OS 12 is Ubuntu?
[13:03] <Peyam> Hi
[13:03] <kittykitty> SpaghettiCat, xinitrc isnt a file, should it not be ~/.bashrc ?
[13:03] <Peyam> When I log in to xubuntu 14.04 I see just the background and the mousepointer
[13:03] <Peyam> how do I fix this? I have very important stuff in it
[13:03] <OerHeks> RaptorJesus, we don't support forks/derivates
[13:03] <SpaghettiCat> RaptorJesus:  They for one tried to give an accurate representation of computers in movies :)
[13:03] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  You create it ".xinitrc" it gets run when the X server starts
[13:04] <kittykitty> oh ok :3
[13:05] <Savannah21>  Hi! I give you some videos. I hope you like! http://bitly.com/1j0qWqz

[13:07] <RaptorJesus> how can I hack?
[13:07] <kittykitty> That didnt work
[13:08] <kittykitty> SpaghettiCat, any other ideas?
[13:09] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  switch to US. Then in a terminal type `setxkbmap gb` does it switch layout?
[13:10] <kittykitty> no
[13:10] <SpaghettiCat> kittykitty:  does it say anything?
[13:10] <kittykitty> no
[13:10] <SpaghettiCat> are you sure it doesn't? Does it not have the GBP sign?
[13:14] <kittykitty> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1297234 its a bug
[13:19] <arun_> hi guys
[13:19] <arun_> how do I break lines in zenity notification
[13:19] <Colin969> Not sure if it's possible, but is there a way to have a Ubuntu Live USB on the same stick as a Windows Install?
[13:20] <Pappaaai> Hi, I see only the mouse pointer and the background when I log in to my distro. Anyone can help me with this?
[13:22] <tragicsans> I'm trying to install python (sudo apt-get install -y python python-dev python-pip) via a script and the mime-support package is asking a question (regarding /etc/mime.types already existing) which isn't being answered automatically
[13:22] <tragicsans> I also set the following in the top of the script: ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
[13:22] <arun_> how do I break lines in zenity notification
[13:23] <tragicsans> I would have thought this question from mime-support would have been answered with a yes due to the "-y" parameter.
[13:25] <arun_> hello guys how do I break lines in zenity notification
[13:26] <TJ-> arun_: "zenity --entry --text "Who are\n you?" "
[13:28] <arun_> TJ-: I needed that for notification not the entry
[13:31] <vr2mx> hello
[13:33] <TJ-> arun_: I would think then, the limitation is in the notification 'server'
[13:34] <vr2mx> hello/clea
[13:34] <TJ-> arun_: in which case, use HTML
[13:34] <TJ-> arun_: zenity --notification --text 'Who are<br> you?'
[13:43] <smokie> hey guys, im trying to run radvd from my ubuntu server, i enabled "net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1" but radvd still doesnt want to start

[13:49] <Balorth> hello
[13:51] <Balorth> can someone help me with wep secured wifi?
[13:54] <Balorth> anyone?
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> Anyone what?
[13:55] <Balorth> i cant connect to  wep secured wifi
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: what wifi chip are you using?
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: sudo lshw -C network ,will tell you
[13:58] <bleb> Question: I'm trying to upgrade from 13.04 to something supported. do-release-upgrade says 'No new release found'. The graphical Software Updater says 'Failed to download repository information.' What's the next step?
[13:58] <DJJeff> can hexdump skip passed I/O error?
[13:58] <DJJeff> http://i.imgur.com/DYFOGG6.jpg
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: press CTRL+ALT+T and run the command there
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> bleb: you will need to upgrade to 13.10 then to 14.04. You will get a cleaner OS and faster if you do a clean install of 14.04 and restore user data from backup
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: doesnt sound healthy. You could use ddrescue to make an image and continuing after the issue, then hexdump that
[14:02] <DJJeff> I do not have access to ddrescue on this device
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: its in the repos
[14:03] <DJJeff> I am using OpenWRT based router to access this USB Thumb Drive
[14:03] <DJJeff> my Ubuntu Desktop refuse to read any data from it
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: then how is this ubuntu related?
[14:04] <bleb> ActionParsnip: clean install is less of an option as this is a work computer -- if possible I would elect to upgrade incrementally. Unfortunately the tools to do that aren't currently working. Any tips?
[14:04] <DJJeff> its hexdump related?
[14:04] <DJJeff> would I /j #hexdump ?
[14:04] <DJJeff> I doubt that channel would exist
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: its not under ubuntu, so not supported here
[14:05] <aledzadza> omg ive been sleeping for 17hrs :/
[14:05] <DJJeff> I think hexdump on here would be the same as hexdump on Ubuntu
[14:05] <DJJeff> they both support the -s (skip) option
[14:05] <wheresmypaaants> Hey guys
[14:05] <taoism> hello
[14:05] <wheresmypaaants> I
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> !eolupgrade | bleb
[14:06] <wheresmypaaants> I've been getting this issue for a long time, but I thought it would blow over, but that is never the case with computers. So, on my ubuntu, it takes several tries to boot successfully. Sometimes it boots and it freezes at the boot screen with all 5 circles a solid purple
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: thats not how it works
[14:06] <bluesabre> hey guys
[14:07] <DJJeff> ActionParsnip you are just mr funny man
[14:07] <RLW980> Hello guys I've got a 64-bitPC and could i burn a usb iso to the usb, via using Ubuntu
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: have you tested ram using memtest86+ from grub
[14:07] <wheresmypaaants> RLW980: Using terminal, yes
[14:07] <DJJeff> want a cookie ActionParsnip?
[14:07] <bluesabre> is there a known bug with the unity lock screen not coming back after suspend?
[14:07] <wheresmypaaants> ActionParsnip: Was unaware I had that option. Is it in recovery mode?
[14:07] <wheresmypaaants> Or do i have to install it
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> RLW980: yes, unetbootin can do that. You dont actually burn when you put data on usb ;)
[14:08] <zacktu> Where is the setting for suspend time located in the Trusty gconf-editor?
[14:08] <wheresmypaaants> I have grub, but i dont know about the memtest part
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: hold SHIFT at boot, select it there
[14:08] <RLW980> wheresmypaaants: how
[14:08] <RLW980> ActionParsnip: how
[14:08] <wheresmypaaants> RLW980: Theres something called google. ;)
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> DJJeff: maintaining channel policy, thats all
[14:08] <wheresmypaaants> I'll be back with the results
[14:09] <RLW980> wheresmypaaants: so im not going to get support from here then
[14:09] <RLW980> Whats the time?
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> RLW980: unetbootin can download the iso for you.

[14:10] <RLW980> ActionParsnip: what w7 64-bit Os
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> RLW980: if you set a persistance (up to 4Gb) you can store changes
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> RLW980: doesnt matter what windows version you have......
[14:10] <Balorth> ActionParsnip: what part do you need?
[14:10] <bluesabre> xubuntu864: I did a quick search and didn't see anything that quite matched what you're experiencing.  You might want to file a bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+filebug and indicate that the issue only applies when using the the nouveau driver, it does not happen with nvidia
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: the product line please, the one for the wifi
[14:11] <xubuntu864> bluesabre. ok, I'll do that.
[14:11] <bluesabre> thanks, I appreciate your patience :)
[14:11] <xubuntu864> I appreciate your help :) Is that it for now?
[14:12] <Balorth> ActionParsnip: BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter
[14:12] <bluesabre> that should be it. And be sure to leave a comment on the other bug that the issue is actually the unity lockscreen
[14:12] <bleb> ubottu: that page is for older versions of ubuntu - should I still expect it to work?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> Balorth: yeah, thought it would be a cheap broadcom
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | Balorth
[14:13] <xubuntu864> "the issue is actually the unity lockscreen" , but wait, I did the lock->unlock test even when I was still using the nouveau driver, and that worked fine.
[14:13] <wheresmypaaants> Okay, so i rebooted and attempted memtest, it wasnt an option, not in advanced or main, and not in recovery
[14:13] <theclockknowsall> Hi there!
[14:13] <theclockknowsall> I got a question!
[14:13] <aledzadza> is there anyway i can rotate my photos on my webpage? ><
[14:14] <wheresmypaaants> theclockknowsall: I can help, but only if I get to be the clock.
[14:14] <cfhowlett> !ask|theclockknowsall
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> wheresmypaaants: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
