[00:00] <baum> jirido, well to be honest - i somehow got it to run the raging-newbie way =/ not sure why it works but it does now
[00:00] <WangWL> I tried purge and reinstall samba, down firewall, re install system-config-printer, try change things on the windows8 machine...
[00:00] <Jordan_U> WangWL: run "system-config-printer" and confirm that that is the same tool you've been using to try to add the printer.
[00:00] <baum> jirido, yes, i did give a rw permission to all users
[00:00] <WangWL> from console, ok.. i go
[00:00] <Dimitri01> hi
[00:01] <WangWL> grey button, stucked
[00:01] <WangWL> no examine button
[00:01] <WangWL> : (
[00:01] <OerHeks> WangWL, all machines in the same network name? https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/samba.html
[00:01] <jirido> baum: lol.. right.. That's often my model also.. /well not that..lol not onmy server
[00:02] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | WangWL
[00:03] <Dimitri01> I've screwed up /etc/sudoers on my VPS, and I don't have pkexec installed either.. what can I do? :(
[00:03] <Jordan_U> Dimitri01: Screwed up how?
[00:03] <WangWL> wait i am tryingo to configure it manually  as OerHeks sent it. perhaps will work
[00:04] <Dimitri01> edited it and not it has a syntax error
[00:04] <Jordan_U> Dimitri01: OK. What happens when you try to use sudo now?
[00:06] <Dimitri01> .
[00:06] <Dimitri01>  /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 14, parse error in /erc/sudoers, no valid sudoers sources found, quitting, unable to initialize policy plugin
[00:07] <k1l> Dimitri01: run recovery tool from the hoster and try to resolve that
[00:07] <Jordan_U> Dimitri01: You're probably going to have to ask your VPS to fix that for you then.
[00:07] <Dimitri01> its an Amazon AWS EC2 instance
[00:08] <Dimitri01> ok I'll try to contact support
[00:08] <Dimitri01> thank you
[00:08] <WangWL> OerHeks the tutorial says i have to change security = user, but i have not that option on my  /etc/samba/smb.conf
[00:08] <Jordan_U> WangWL: What tutorial are you trying to follow? I'm still waiting for screenshots.
[00:09] <Jordan_U> WangWL: Ahh, I see the comment from OerHeks with https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/samba.html now. Still, screenshots would be helpful.
[00:11] <Jordan_U> OerHeks: WangWL: That link only seems to describe sharing a printer, with Ubuntu being the print server, not printing to a shared printer from Ubuntu.
[00:11] <WangWL> I just added a shared folder at the win comp, and it says shared at the home group, has windows changed the default workgroup name to home?
[00:11] <WangWL> argh, ok
[00:14] <WangWL> Jorda_U  , is not only the samba printer, i can not acces to the folder i created on shared windows8 folder
[00:14] <WangWL> Jordan_U
[00:15] <WangWL> perhaps is the name as someone suggested?
[00:15] <Bashing-om> garrie: Maybe -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales <- ? Make sure the locale (gb) is set ?
[00:15] <Jordan_U> WangWL: Still waiting for screenshots of any kind, for the file share or the printer share problem.
[00:16] <garrie>   en_GB.UTF-8... done
[00:16] <garrie> Bashing-om,   en_GB.UTF-8... done
[00:16] <WangWL> is just a grey non usable button, probably realted with the name of the net, but ok wait
[00:16] <garrie> I will logout briefly and see if anything has changed.
[00:17] <Jordan_U> garrie: It may not have any affect until lightdm is restarted.
[00:17] <Bashing-om> garnus: At this point, reboot and see if that is effective ?
[00:17] <WangWL> Jordan_U No se pudo mostrar «network:///».   when trying to acces network...    Can not shown network
[00:17] <WangWL> from caja
[00:17] <garrie> Okay, will try restarting lightdm too.

[00:21] <BuSheeZy> I'm having a hell of a time with this install.  My connection is going in and out.  Works fine on windows.  I've tried following the paths of some posts I found on google with the same card.  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/114294
[00:22] <Jordan_U> BuSheeZy: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[00:23] <k1l> BuSheeZy: that is talking about very old kernel versions. that is not up to date
[00:23] <BuSheeZy> I'm actually on lubuntu.  Darn.  Well atleast I know.
[00:23] <BuSheeZy> sorry for asking and being about lubuntu
[00:23] <k1l> lsb_release -d      will tell you
[00:23] <BuSheeZy> that made little sense
[00:23] <CharlotteFields> I installed windows to a hdd by putting an install ISOs contents on a partition and marking it as bootable, is there anything else I need to do? i forgot how i did it in the past.
[00:24] <BuSheeZy> 14.10
[00:25] <k1l> !broadcom | BuSheeZy
[00:25] <BuSheeZy> Hrmm
[00:25] <BuSheeZy> not the same version
[00:25] <roa_> buenas noches
[00:25] <k1l> BuSheeZy: so what wifi device is it?
[00:25] <Jordan_U> CharlotteFields: That's more of a question for ##windows.
[00:26] <k1l> BuSheeZy: "lspci" will tell
[00:26] <CharlotteFields> ah ty Jordan_U
[00:26] <BuSheeZy> http://pastie.org/private/iq73rcfjobzmzjtifipcq
[00:26] <BuSheeZy> a bunch of info about it
[00:26] <BuSheeZy> NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express
[00:27] <k1l> BuSheeZy: so its about lan and not wifi?
[00:27] <BuSheeZy> correct
[00:28] <sn33zy> okay this may not be a ubuntu problem but my wife is on mint and she is having no problems on the internet, me on the other hand, my web pages become unresponsive and when i did a speed test its stuck on the upload...
[00:29] <k1l> BuSheeZy: so why are you using stuff from the bm43 wifi then?
[00:29] <BuSheeZy> It would have automatically been done
[00:30] <ner0x> Good afternoon. What would the best partition format for a usb backup drive?
[00:30] <Jordan_U> ner0x: It depends on what you're backing up and what OSs you plan to read those backups from.
[00:31] <Jordan_U> ner0x: If you're only going to read the files from GNU/Linux, then ext4 is probably a good choice.
[00:31] <ner0x> Jordan_U: Ubuntu 14.10 across both.
[00:32] <k1l> BuSheeZy: i dont find any issue with that lan.
[00:32] <BuSheeZy> Hrmm.  :X
[00:41] <[nsh]> wat, no...

[00:49] <j_t> How big is the base install of ubuntu 14.04.1?
[00:50] <j_t> how many gigs
[00:50] <wlodpolm> 14.10 is about 5gb
[00:52] <k1l> j_t: install 14.04.2 so you dont need to get a lot of updates after install
[00:52] <k1l> j_t: you mean minimal install? or a regular install for desktop usage?
[00:56] <Bray90820> is there a way to create a link or shortcut for the dash so I can put it in docky
[01:23] <herbert44> en tant que musicien, j'utilise beaucoup de programmes pour écouter et faire ma musique, mais audacious est très instable et les réglages pulseaudio et audio mixeur XFCE ne sont pas stables
[01:23] <Ben64> !fr | herbert44
[01:24] <herbert44> ok j'écrirai en anglais..:)
[01:29] <sasda2312> hi
[01:30] <sasda2312> bye!
[01:30] <Jordan_U> philwong: The speed depends on what you're trying to do with the machine. I more than happily develop C code (and use IRC) on this latitude D810 that is a little more than a decade old, using XFCE or LXDE. But trying to browse the web can get annoying fast.
[01:31] <philwong> yes,
[01:32] <philwong> all do web development, browse using multiple browsers etc
[01:32] <duoi> philwong, lubuntu would run great. i personally installed elementary os (based on ubuntu, not lightweight) on my old laptop and it ran very smooth.
[01:33] <philwong> does linux in general run "smooth" in the sense that it does not get slow overtime
[01:34] <Bray90820> is there a way to create a link or shortcut for the dash so I can put it in docky
[01:36] <duoi> philwong, that's actually a feature of it over windows imo. it doesn't get "heavier" over time.
[01:37] <philwong> so does it remain smooth or does it get choppy but just not as fast as windows?
[01:37] <philwong> I know osx is pretty solid
[01:37] <Bray90820> is there a way to create a link or shortcut for the dash so I can put it in docky
[01:38] <ubuntu_> vrir linux. je travaille surtout les sons, mais j'e trouve que les lecteurs que j'ai sont très instables, ainsi que les règlages come audio mixeur XFCE ou pulse audio. jereviendrai plus tard si je trouve quelqu'un pour m'apporter un peu d'aide..
[01:39] <jmnoz> is it possible to change the alignment of the window title in unity, ubuntu 14.10? if so, how?
[01:39] <7JTACFW9D> so, before I'm goin to read channel topic..
[01:39] <serendependy> philwong, My experience has been that as long as you don't install software that auto-starts and runs a heavy load, a linux box that's been running for even a year is just as zippy as the fresh install
[01:46] <BuSheeZy> k1l, I tried an install of debian and I am having the same problem.  This card just must not be happy with tg3.
[01:49] <geode> hello
[01:50] <jamesd_> hi
[01:50] <geode> i wanna ask something.
[01:51] <geode> i searched alot but couldnt find texlive-lang-turkish package in ubuntu 12.04 repositories. currently only trusty have babel turkish in texlive-lang-european
[01:51] <jamesd_> geode: thats nice, take a number we will get back to your question sometime next week
[01:52] <geode> uh huh?
[01:52] <jamesd_> jk
[01:52] <geode> :D
[01:53] <BuSheeZy> k1l: same thing with Debian :/
[01:55] <geode> iam sorry if it is a dumb question. new in linux but can i use that package in ubuntu 12.04? -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/texlive-lang-european
[01:55] <geode> this is the only package that include support for Turkish that i found
[01:56] <Guest66560> how can you access an encrypted home folder via liveCD?
[01:57] <Guest66560> so does anyone know?
[01:59] <Nguyen> hello guys, im experiencing very sluggish preformance on Ubuntu, can anyone help me out?
[02:00] <beepie> Nguyen, how is it sluggy?
[02:01] <geode> iam gonna roll back to windows i think
[02:01] <Nguyen> beepie: Hey beepie so basically it takes a open to open things. FIrefox takes around 10-20 secs. Software center takes about 30-40 secs.
[02:01] <beepie> geode, hey kid you need a ride?
[02:01] <Guest66560> geode, yeah windows is good, i've never had any major problems with it and there is always a lot of support
[02:02] <beepie> Nguyen, those two apps always have run slow..  I use chromium and synaptic in their place.. makes a big difference
[02:02] <beepie> Nguyen, (chrome comes with pepperapi flash)
[02:02] <geode> iam happy with ubuntu. but for this latex package stuff. i have to. from the laptop
[02:02] <BuSheeZy> All I wanted was to have a shell box but darn old ethernet drivers :|
[02:02] <Nguyen> beepie: but even the dash itself loads things slowly, and sometimes the computer freezes
[02:02] <BuSheeZy> 50% packet loss isn't optimal
[02:03] <beepie> Nguyen, how old is the hardware?
[02:03] <BuSheeZy> back to windows and putty
[02:04] <Nguyen> beepie: would it run faster, if i used i3 or awesome instead? for window management. i tried to do that, but the software confused me. seemed pretty fast though. the computer itself is only like 3 months old. works super fast when logged into windows
[02:04] <jamesd_> BuSheeZy: think rasperry PI, or a viraualbox guest
[02:05] <BuSheeZy> Yeah, I already have this box
[02:05] <beepie> Nguyen, brand new or second hand? anyways..
[02:05] <BuSheeZy> I'll probably get a couple of the raspberry pi 2's
[02:05] <Nguyen> beepie: brand new.
[02:05] <BuSheeZy> for fun
[02:05] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello!
[02:05] <beepie> Nguyen, this the latest ubuntu and 64-bit ? (not 32-bit?)
[02:05] <beepie> Nguyen, if on 64-bit processor, it's 64-bit of course .. not sure if you know this
[02:06] <beepie> Nguyen, (i mean you use the 64-bit iso)
[02:06] <Nguyen> beepie: correct i have 64 bit iso installed
[02:06] <beepie> Nguyen, i'd try updating any kernels and see if that helps..
[02:06] <beepie> Nguyen, there's can be minor corrections somewhere after rtm
[02:07]  * beepie thinks "release" lol
[02:08] <Nguyen> beepie: just checked for updates, nothing available
[02:08] <Nguyen> beepie: its also a fresh install
[02:08] <Guest66560> Nguyen, if you can't find the solution just use Windows and don't waste time, seriously
[02:09] <Nguyen> Guest66560: I'm required to use Linux for my class....
[02:09] <beepie> Nguyen, if you check with iotop or top you might be able to see top processes...
[02:09] <Guest66560> if 1706 Ubuntu users on here don't know the solution...
[02:09] <beepie> Nguyen, sometimes there is "locate" updating
[02:09] <beepie> Nguyen, and it runs like once a day
[02:11] <Nguyen> beepie: I dont see tht when i run top
[02:11] <Nguyen> beepie: could the prob be Unity itself?
[02:12] <Nguyen> beepie: should i try gnome 3?
[02:13] <Guest66560> a good O/S is suppose to save you time, enhance your work flow, and increase your productivity... if you are wasting hours upon hours trouble shooting
[02:15] <Nguyen> Guest66560: Look idk what your problem is, maybe you dont like linux. But if you don't have productive input for the problem please refrain.... I am REQUIRED to run Ubuntu for class ITS NOT OPTIONAL
[02:16] <Ben64> !behelpful | Guest66560
[02:18] <Nguyen> beepie: ?
[02:18] <Ben64> Nguyen: can you explain your issue again? I don't see it in the scrollback due to freenode issues
[02:19] <demonjester> Hey guys not sure if i am in the right channel but I was wondering, what linux distro can I use on old computer, but have it cli only since the only time I am accessing it is ssh
[02:19] <Ben64> demonjester: this is an ubuntu channel, so I'd say ubuntu server, you might want to ask in ##linux though
[02:20] <krabador> demonjester, on the *buntu way the lightest is lubuntu, but you can have a terminal-only solution, with ubuntu server
[02:20] <demonjester> Ben64: Thanks I had a feeling I should try linux, also if I install ubuntu server on a desktop pc would that affect anything since its not actual server hardware, this is just old pc.
[02:20] <Nguyen> Ben64: Hey ben :), so basically Ubuntu is running a bit sluggish on the system. It sometimes freezes, the dash search is a bit slow also. And when i run some programs for my Programming class. It takes a while to finish executing. I have an 8gb i7 laptop.
[02:21] <Ben64> demonjester: the server version is the same as the desktop version, just without the gui and stuff you'd normally want on a desktop computer
[02:21] <Bashing-om> demonjester: Minimal install, if ya handy with the software repository .
[02:21] <demonjester> Ben64: ok thank you, you were very helpful
[02:22] <Ben64> Nguyen: have you tried a different desktop? like gnome-fallback or xfce or lxde? most of the time i see ubuntu running slow is due to graphics
[02:24] <Nguyen> Ben64: Ubuntu gives me the option to use Nvidia proprietary drivers should i try that? I havent used xfce or lxde, but i did use Openbox, and i3, and awesome. and all 3 seemed to show good preformance. but i was a bit confused on how to configure them so i reverted back to Unity.
[02:25] <geode> problem solved guys :D i began to love ubuntu. i get used to it
[02:25] <Ben64> Nguyen: do you know if you have a dual gpu setup
[02:26] <Jordan_U> Nguyen: Try the proprietary Nvidia drivers, yes.
[02:26] <Jordan_U> Nguyen: One of the primary causes of sluggishness on what should be fast machines is incomplete or completely missing 3D acceleration.
[02:26] <Nguyen> Ben64: I'm sorry Im not sure :/. how can i find out?
[02:27] <jmnoz> so I changed my greeter for lightdm but how can I change or modify the lock screen?
[02:27] <jmnoz> (in Ubuntu 14.10)
[02:27] <Nguyen> Jordan_U: Will install those drivers greatly reduce my battery life?
[02:27] <Ben64> Jordan_U: would installing nvidia now magically do nvidia-prime if necessary? I've avoided those types of systems
[02:27] <Jordan_U> Nguyen: No, and it may improve your battery life.
[02:28] <Nguyen> Jordan_U: okay thank you sir, I will install and test it out
[02:29] <Jordan_U> Ben64: I don't know. I have faith that given how common such hardware is now, Ubuntu's Additional drivers tool wouldn't do anything that's likely to make the user be unable to get back into X, but that faith may be misplaced.
[02:29] <Jordan_U> Nguyen: You're welcome. If you have any trouble getting back to a GUI after reboot, come back here from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB.
[02:30] <Jordan_U> Nguyen: If you don't have recovery boot media, or another OS if this is a dual boot, handy then now might be a good time to get that ready.
[02:30] <Ben64> Not a bad idea, I was certainly surprised when I installed 14.04 on here and had to do absolutely nothing to get nvidia working. Didn't have to click "OK" , didn't have to open up the hardware drivers page, everything *just worked*
[02:30] <Nguyen> Jordan_U: I have windows 8 also installed and a live ubuntu cd so i should be fine ^_^
[02:31] <Jordan_U> Ben64: The Nouveau project is doing great work :)
[02:31] <jmnoz> I guess I can install light-locker?
[02:34] <geode> and one more question. is it possible to pause updates for kernel in ubuntu. i mean freeze it in the current version?
[02:36] <underd0g> yo
[02:36] <geode> or disable
[02:37] <Ben64> geode: why..?
[02:37] <underd0g> just testing
[02:39] <geode> Ben64: in my laptop i had alot of driver issues after kernel update
[02:39] <Ben64> geode: what driver issues
[02:44] <geode> it did not detect my usb drives. also had problems about overheating. in samsung 5 series ultrabooks NP530u3c causes brick problems they say
[02:47] <nguyen> Ben64: Hey guys i installed the drivers, but proformance seems the same, and now i also dont have any working audio :/
[02:49] <nguyen> Jordan_U_phone: is there any way to fix the audio issue :/
[02:50] <ivan_on_trac> How does the ubuntu advantage service? This service supports the SLA bug, or crashes?
[03:00] <Guest66560> so how can you access an encrypted home folder via liveCD?
[03:10] <Shark0> hello
[03:11] <Shark0> how to get into another systems terminal which is connected by lan ?
[03:12] <Shark0> anybody here ?
[03:13] <Demon_Jester> heu guys i was just here 10-20 min ago. i ran into a snag, im hanging in installation "retrieving dosfstools-udeb" i googled it but list bug trackers. any ideas?
[03:13] <Demon_Jester> ubuntu server*
[03:14] <Demon_Jester> shark0: do you mean if your already in another ssh connection? if that is what you mean just ssh like normal.
[03:15] <Shark0> yeah , by using ssh
[03:15] <Shark0> is there any other way to sneak in without knowing password ?
[03:17] <Demon_Jester> sneak in. sure if they have shell shock exploit.
[03:18] <Shark0> is that a software or something ?
[03:19] <Demon_Jester> if you have to ask then stop asking how to sneak in. we are not tech support for malicious reasons.
[03:20] <Guest33687> this ^^^^
[03:28] <Doc-Saintly> Hello All. I have a few linux boxes in various places (all ubuntu versions). Can anyone recommend a way for me to keep tabs on them? SImple things like their IP, if they're online, how many patches they need, etc.
[03:29] <Guest66560> accessing your encrypted home folder via liveCD should be as easy as accessing an typical encrypted folder, by just clicking to mount the drive and then putting in your password, so why isn't it?
[03:30] <Guest33687> Doc-Saintly, sounds like the landscape management app scenario from Canonical
[03:32] <baum> question: assuming that i'll never run out of RAM means that i will never use my swap partition right?
[03:32] <Ben64> or if you never want to hibernate
[03:33] <baum> nope, not planning to do that - restarting the machine is usually faster
[03:34] <baum> anyways does this mean that i can create the swap partition on the ssd?
[03:34] <krabador> baum, with 4gb ram or more, swap isn't srictly needed
[03:34] <baum> krabador, alright, thanks, guess the 32gb ram here make it obsolete
[03:35] <Guest66560> Ben42_, is it true that if you use lightDM display manager you can't hibernate?
[03:35] <baum> krabador, leaves the question: what happens if the RAM caps at 4gb+ and no swap is available?
[03:35] <Guest66560> standby saves your open data on RAM and hibernation saves your data on the HDD right?
[03:36] <krabador> baum, oooh, with 32gb ram , think to other than swap, you can mount in ramdisk many things, to optimize write cycles on a ssd
[03:36] <Guest66560> hibernation basically shuts down the computer?
[03:37] <baum> Guest66560, yes it does
[03:37] <Guest66560> i heard hibernation on Ubuntu is broken tho
[03:37] <krabador> baum, it's really unlikely, but processes can't write things, system can became unstable and can freeze
[03:39] <krabador> baum, with 4gb ram it's really really unlikely
[03:39] <baum> krabador, by chance you are aware of potential safty mechanics once this scenario happens? hard to belive that the system would simply freeze
[03:40] <Guest66560> baum is it safe to use the repair feature on a liveCD to fix a hanging issue when the distro is starting up without deleting personal files?
[03:41] <baum> Guest66560, no idea sorry
[03:42] <krabador> baum, only system freeze, applications that became unstable, crashes
[03:42] <Doc-Saintly> Can anyone tell me about the landscape app? How is it?
[03:43] <baum> krabador, alright thanks - just read through the warning during the installation - quite scary :P
[03:44] <Guest66560> krabador, how do you set write permissions on an encrypted home folder that is mounted via liveCD?
[03:45] <Demon_Jester> is there a way i can install ubuntu server without internet connection? it keeps hanging when it tries to download files.
[03:46] <leif> hello
[03:49] <krabador> Guest66560, what you need to do??
[03:50] <azoller2> anyone good with kivy?
[03:50] <azoller2> or python-for-android?
[03:53] <Guest66560> krabador, i think i need to set write permissions on an encrypted home folder that is mounted via liveCD
[03:53] <krabador> Guest66560, ok, but why?
[03:55] <Guest66560> well, when ubuntu is starting up it hangs, and i think it might be because there is no space on the hdd, i tried recovery mode tools on startup but they didn't work, so i'll try this, if not i will try to use liveCD to repair the O/S so i am trying to make backups of my personal files
[03:56] <krabador> ok Guest66560 http://askubuntu.com/questions/361249/how-do-i-rescue-files-from-the-encrypted-home-folder-via-live-usb-stick
[03:57] <Guest66560> krabador, i already mounted my encrypted home folder, but it seems to be read only
[03:57] <Guest66560> i want to be able to right, so that i can delete a few files and try to startup once again

[04:01] <bruxC> hi, i gparted via gmagic iso to extend my ext4 volume. It did it successfully however... when i sudo parted /dev/sdb it comes up with:  1      32.3kB  4838GB  4838GB  ext4               msftdata
[04:01] <Guest66560> krabador, how do you mount with the --rw parameter
[04:01] <Guest66560> what's the command
[04:01] <bruxC> clearly the size is off and it's showing a microsoft flag...
[04:02] <bruxC> is there a reasonw why my ext4 got its partition table changed?
[04:04] <krabador> Guest66560, have you read the manpage at "To mount with read and  write permission, add the --rw parameter?"
[04:04] <Guest66560> krabador, but i don't know the actual command
 Guest66560, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/ecryptfs-recover-private.1.html
[04:05] <Demon_Jester> during my ubuntu server install it keeps hanging at "jsfutils-udeb" is there anyway to do offline install?
[04:10] <krabador> Demon_Jester, if you skip config-network and apply-updates, it can be installed without connection
[04:10] <krabador> Demon_Jester, but it's better to you , to do a fresh installation with internet connection
[04:11] <Demon_Jester> its keeps hanging it wont install, also i unplugged my ethernet and keeps looping so i still cant proceed. this is very frustrating.
[04:13] <krabador> Demon_Jester, have you skipped the network configuration?
[04:14] <Demon_Jester> i just let it run the tests and have it fail.
[04:15] <krabador> Demon_Jester, you must skip it properly
[04:15] <Guest66560> krabador, so will this work? sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda5
[04:15] <krabador> Guest66560, are you high?
[04:15] <Guest66560> ?
[04:16] <krabador> Guest66511, ecryptfs-recover-private [--rw] [encrypted private dir]
[04:16] <krabador> that's the command
[04:16] <Demon_Jester> krabador how do i skip it properly? hit escape?
[04:16] <krabador> Guest66511, ecryptfs-recover-private --rw /encrypted/private/dir
[04:16] <Guest66560> will it remount it?
[04:17] <krabador> Guest66560, umount , and use the command
[04:20] <krabador> Demon_Jester, it try to autoconf
[04:21] <krabador> try press esc
[04:22] <krabador> at manual configuration , chose "do not configure network at this time"
[04:23] <Demon_Jester> kabador i wish it was that easy but i always hit bad archive mirror, and it loops from here.
[04:24] <FatAndSassy> hi
[04:28] <Demon_Jester> this is pissing me off it keeps hanging when i try to download the files. always between 14-16% no one else has this issue so idk what is going on.

[05:10] <fry_> How do I make a launcher?
[05:12] <dejavou42> I'm having a problem with a bash script that I can't figure out. I have a script calling a config file like this: if [ -f file]; then (next line) source file (next line) fi
[05:12] <dejavou42> the script is in /sbin, and the config file is in a subdir of etc

[05:14] <EriC^^> dejavou42, is it literally as you posted?
[05:14] <dejavou42> yes
[05:14] <dejavou42> err no
[05:14] <dejavou42> lol
[05:15] <EriC^^> i mean if [ -f file]; then
[05:15] <EriC^^> is there a space between file and ]
[05:15] <dejavou42> yes there is
[05:15] <dejavou42> sorry
[05:15] <EriC^^> ok, are you using absolute paths in it?
[05:16] <dejavou42> it isn't a syntax error because the else statement that follows executes correctly if the file doesn't exist
[05:16] <dejavou42> but if the file does exist, the script exits and returns without executing the rest of the script
[05:17] <dejavou42> if I comment out the source line and put something arbitrary like echo "ok", the rest of the script executes
[05:18] <dejavou42> the source file is syntaxed like so ## comment line (next line) VARIABLE="var"
[05:19] <dejavou42> yes I am using absolute paths, sorry I didn't see that question
[05:22] <dejavou42> EriC^^: so, It reads as if [ -f /etc/vpnclient/vpn.config]; then (next line) (tab indent) source /etc/vpnclient/vpn.config
[05:23] <dejavou42> I've tested in the home directory and it works. The only thing that I can find is that the location in  /sbin and/or /etc/vpnclient directories are causing the problems

[06:29] <neetz> Hey guys , I'm tryiing to create a minimal ubuntu cloud image , I downloaded a mini.iso file and i follow the same procedures to make it cloud compatible , the downloaded image is 40 MB , ( minimal ) and I install a cloud package in it which is about 50 MB , and I shut it down , and when i see the image , the image is 1.4 GB in qcow2 format , how can i reduce the size ? Generally cloud images are like 300 to 400 MB max
[06:33] <neetz> Hey guys , I'm tryiing to create a minimal ubuntu cloud image , I downloaded a mini.iso file and i follow the same procedures to make it cloud compatible , the downloaded image is 40 MB , ( minimal ) and I install a cloud package in it which is about 50 MB , and I shut it down , and when i see the image , the image is 1.4 GB in qcow2 format , how can i reduce the size ? Generally cloud images are like 300 to 400 MB max
[06:38] <jamesd_> neetz: you may want to look into how qcow2 works and how to clean up after its mess, from what i quickly read its seems to be the biggest hog of disk space possible
[06:40] <TeddyMurray> is it possible to ban a connection if it makes too many requests, on any port
[06:40] <TeddyMurray> for a limited time
[06:40] <neetz> jamesd_:  I tried looking up dude , not much i could find :/
[06:41] <jamesd_> neetz: then perhaps you should look into a different filesystem with beter docs...  perhaps ZFS or aufs that comes with docker on ubuntu
[06:42] <neetz> jamesd_:  but I want it in qcow2 , since cloud images are qcow2 files
[06:42] <Amirr> exit
[06:43] <jamesd_> neetz: then you have some home work todo...  i don't know much about qcow2.. and from what i read it seems to agree with the opinion of what i heard of it before "clown college"
[06:43] <SecretFire> why did flash player stop for linux?
[06:43] <hateball> TeddyMurray: should be able to use ratelimiting with iptables but I don't know the exact command you'd want
[06:44] <Rust3dCor3> SecretFire You mean development of flash or just that its in the repos?
[06:44] <neetz> jamesd_:  Aight , Thanks man :)
[06:44] <quint> getting extremely slow speeds when updating from ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[06:45]  * Rust3dCor3 is away: I'm busy/I just don't like You/Leave me alone in my shed!
[06:45] <SecretFire> Rust3dCor3: the development, for example i cant watch online tv like i can in windows, do they plan on fixing this issue?
[06:46] <Rust3dCor3> probably not
[06:46] <hateball> TeddyMurray: then there's also fail2ban which is nice but when you say *any* port I don't know if you're trying to solve attacks vs a specific service or not
[06:46] <SecretFire> how sad
[06:46] <Rust3dCor3> probably its the matter of cash for flash player devs
[06:46] <Rust3dCor3> and linux is aint cash
[06:46] <SecretFire> true
[06:46] <SecretFire> but couldnt there be an open source version of the same thing that could be used to watch online tv?
[06:47] <yasserhussain111> please suggest good tutorials for perl xstut!!
[06:47] <hateball> If Flash is all you need, it can be gotten from Google Chrome or Chromium + pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[06:48]  * Rust3dCor3 is away: I'm busy/I just don't like You/Leave me alone in my shed!

[06:51] <dmarr> how would i have a crontab entry that loads an environment first? like /opt/boxen/env.sh /usr/bin/java -jar foo.jar
[06:51] <quint> oop, just had a look at the http traffic.. 404 errors for updates.. assuming that means this distro is losing support?
[06:51] <somsip> quint: which version?
[06:52] <quint> 14.04
[06:52] <dmarr> where the env.sh loaded some stuff that the java process would inherit
[06:52] <somsip> quint: no - long term support to 2018 from memory
[06:52] <somsip> !14.04
[06:53] <somsip> quint: 2019 actually - +5 years from release
[06:55] <quint> i was checking my http traffic and i saw screenfuls of 404 errors when i ran apt-get update
[06:55] <quint> now i can't download certain packages
[06:56] <quint> trying to install the package minitube right now and it's just parked at waiting for headers
[06:57] <somsip> quint: try a different source
[07:09] <jac0bz1> Hello! Is it possible to make a shortcut in the terminal? I have a PHP script that accept commands in the terminal. But the path is so long..
[07:09] <interest1ng> jac0bz1: you can set an alias
[07:09] <jac0bz1> So instead of writing php /var/www/html/myscript/file.php commnand i can write something like myalias command ?
[07:10] <interest1ng> if you ~/.bashrc contains anythign about .bash_aliases put your aliases in there
[07:11] <interest1ng> if it doesnt you can make .bash_aliases and in .bashrc type in ". ~/.bash_aliases" without the quotes (include the "."
[07:12] <interest1ng> then in .bash_aliases you can simply type:
[07:12] <interest1ng> alias myalias='php /var/www/html/myscript/file.php'
[07:12] <interest1ng> exactly as i have written above
[07:12] <interest1ng> then restart your shell (terminal) or source the file again
[07:13] <interest1ng> then you can type myalias to run your command :D
[07:15] <jac0bz1> When you say restart shell, just exit and re-enter terminal?
[07:16] <Bray90820> Anyone here use Docky i am trying to remove the glow from apps that are in focus
[07:17] <bacon> Does anyone know what the error '/etc/grub.d/40_custom: sdb#!/bin/sh: not found' means?
[07:17] <bacon> While running sudo update-grub
[07:18] <geirha> bacon: looks like the script /etc/grub.d/40_custom has an error
[07:18] <bacon> well, i gathered that. my question was if anyone knew what the error was and possibly how to fix it
[07:19] <blackroot> bacon: a paste of that paricular config would be helpful
[07:20] <jac0bz1> interest1ng: Thank you!
[07:20] <geirha> bacon: Looks like "sdb" has snuck in before the shebang
[07:20] <bacon> blackroot: sure, no problem. should i use pastebin or just paste it directly?
[07:20] <blackroot> bacon: pastebin
[07:21] <geirha> ops, xarraxa is a spammer
[07:21] <bacon> blackroot: http://pastebin.com/L1w4kFEA
[07:21] <geirha> bacon: the first line should be #!/bin/sh
[07:22] <bacon> geirha: sure, i'll edit that. why did it come like that to start with however?
[07:23] <geirha> bacon: I don't know. Accidentally pasted while editing?
[07:23] <bacon> geirha: Maybe. I'll test out the entry now
[07:24] <blackroot> yeah if you just remove sdb from the first line it should all be ok

[07:28] <sorinello> Hello. Can somebody tell me a disk usage analisys command similar cu baobab. I don't have any DM on my server, so I need something CLI
[07:28] <JinBaba> !unity
[07:28] <JinBaba> !notunity
[07:29] <ubik_> sorinallo: df -h
[07:29] <bekks> sorinello: "du".
[07:29] <Ghostbroker> using 14.10, getting very slow download times through apt when downloading from us.archive.ubuntu.com. speeds are anywhere from 56kb/s to 200 kb/s on a 50mbit connection. tried using the mirrors.txt thing but they won't update
[07:29] <sorinello> bekks, yes, i was thinking about du, but I don't quite know exactly what paramaters to give it to it. I need the full analysys for a specific mountpoint
[07:31] <blackroot> du --help would be helpful
[07:32] <bekks> sorinello: First, you have to define (for yourself) what a "full analysis" might be, when it comes to the question "how much space is xy using on my disk?", then "du --help" will help you choosing the desired options.
[07:33] <sorinello> bekks, I want it for my / partition
[07:33] <bekks> sorinello: So use du for your / partition.
[07:34] <JinBaba> Hi! When I press the OS key (Windows Key) on my ubuntu, a fancy screen shows up, is that what you call Unity?
[07:34] <sorinello> bekks, that's what I'm trying to do :)
[07:36] <bekks> sorinello: So whats wrong with "du /" then?
[07:37] <hateball> JinBaba: The whole interface is called Unity. What pops up is an infoscreen about shortcuts etc
[07:38] <hateball> sorinello: Do you need a report for each subdirectory no matter how many levels deep?
[07:39] <JinBaba> Thanks hateball! Is there any way I could install similar UI for Kali Linux?
[07:39] <hateball> JinBaba: Probably, but this isnt Kali support. Nor is Kali intended for such use :)
[07:41] <golden> whoami
[07:41] <somsip> golden: http://is.gd/rJyLFE
[07:44] <JinBaba> hateball you're right. sorry for the stupid question.
[07:50] <fidel_> sorinello: there is NCDU aswell - afaik DU was mentioned already
[07:53] <leeyaa> hello
[07:53] <leeyaa> when and where is $HOSTNAME variable set
[07:54] <leeyaa> is it some script that is executed during boot or something ?
[08:03] <cactusss> .
[08:09] <JinBaba> What's the major difference between LTS(Long Term Support) and other version of Ubuntu?
[08:09] <somsip> JinBaba: LTS are supported for longer. 5 years, as opposed to something like 9 months for non-LTS
[08:12] <JinBaba> somsip does it mean no OS upgrades for non-LTS users? they'd have to manually upgrade to the newest available version right?
[08:13] <bekks> JinBaba: All users have to manually upgrade. LTS is supported for a longer time.
[08:14] <JinBaba> And whats exactly included in the support?
[08:15] <bekks> JinBaba: package updates.
[08:17] <JinBaba> alright thanks
[08:26] <brick32123> Hi all, does anyone have a few minutes to help me out with translating keys in lxterminal? I have successfully translated backspace and delete to '^H' in xterm via the file .Xdefaults-work (not sure why it wasn't .Xdefaults, had to use strace to work this out), however the translations do not take affect in lxterminal.
[08:26] <brick32123> I have tried renaming the .Xdefaults file to .Xresources and .Xdefaults but to no avail. I wasn't able to find any help via Google search. Can someone please assist me?

[08:45] <somsip> ubuntu573: suport has ended, so the repos will be closed
[08:45] <ubuntu573> Ah, okay, thanks.
[08:45] <somsip> ubuntu573: time to upgrade - see !eol
[08:46] <ubuntu573> Is there anything I can do in the meantime to prevent that repo from being checked, or is upgrading the only solution?
[08:46] <SamsaraSoup> I've got both    vmlinuz-3.16.30-generic and vmlinuz-3.16.31-generic in my /boot       is that normal?
[08:46] <SamsaraSoup> and I have the option to boot either
[08:46] <bekks> SamsaraSoup: Thats normal when you have both kernel versions installed.
[08:46] <somsip> ubuntu573: all official repos will be closed, so upgrade is the best way to go
[08:47] <bekks> s/best/only/
[08:47] <ubuntu573> somsip: I understand, but I'm at work, and won't have time to upgrade until next week at least, and I need to update some software in the meantime.
[08:47] <ubuntu573> Oh well, I guess it's my fault in the first place.
[08:47] <SamsaraSoup> bekks, Is it a good idea to have two or should I remove one?
[08:47] <ubuntu573> Thanks for the tips everyone.
[08:48] <bekks> ubuntu573: No chance to update software from a closed repo.
[08:48] <bekks> SamsaraSoup: At least you have a fallback kernel.
[08:49] <SamsaraSoup> bekks, I see. I leave it then. Thanks for you input.
[08:49] <ubuntu573> bekks: I'm not concerned about that, I'd just like to have that repo ignored and update the rest, until I have time to reinstall the system.
[08:50] <bekks> ubuntu573: there are no updates of any value anymore.
[08:51] <sorenode> H I am in some deep trouble. I deleted my windows harddrive partition and the 100 MB system partition using Lubuntu partitioning system.
[08:51] <sorenode> I then created 2 fresh partitions
[08:51] <ubuntu573> bekks: Yeah, but this error is somehow preventing me from updating at all (including software from repos that still work).
[08:52] <sorenode> One - unassigned and the other Ext4
[08:52] <sorenode> I tried installing Lubuntu to Ext4, it installs, but doesn't boot - it enters command prompt
[08:52] <ubuntu573> Nevermind though, I'll just have to ignore it for now.
[08:52] <sorenode> and Windows cannot detect harddrive
[08:52] <sorenode> while installing
[08:52] <somsip> ubuntu573: you may be able to comment out those failing sources in /etc/apt/sources.list but dont be surprised if things get ugly
[08:52] <sorenode> Help me please
[08:53] <bekks> sorenode: So where did you install grub onto?
[08:53] <sorenode> the ext4 partition
[08:53] <ubuntu573> somsip: Hey, that did it! Thanks.
[08:54] <somsip> ubuntu573: I'm amazed it worked, but there you go :)
[08:54] <ubuntu573> These were probably some non-essential sources, so I'm fine with it.
[08:54] <bekks> sorenode: fot booting you have to install grub to the MBR, not to the partition.
[08:54] <sorenode> ok how to define MBR
[08:55] <bekks> sorenode: you chose /dev/sda1 for installing grub?
[08:55] <sorenode> yes
[08:55] <bekks> sorenode: It should have been /dev/sda
[08:55] <sorenode> ok thanks.. let me try it
[08:55] <sorenode> Also
[08:55] <sorenode> bekks
[08:55] <sorenode> there is a NTFS partition
[08:55] <ubuntu573> Thank you everyone for your tips, bye.
[08:55] <sorenode> that was untouched
[08:55] <sorenode> But let me explain the history of this partition
[08:56] <sorenode> it was a 800 GB partition and there was another 30 GB partition that was contiguous
[08:56] <sorenode> about 2 months ago, I had unallocated the 30 GB partition and extended the 830 GB partition
[08:56] <placydo> Hi. I have updated Ubuntu from 14.04 to 14.10 and have massive problem. I cannot connect to vpn, cannot download updates etc. I have added myself to adm and to root but that did not fix te problem.
[08:56] <sorenode> Now it cannot be mounted at all
[08:56] <bekks> sorenode: Because you deleted both partitions, as you stated above.
[08:56] <sorenode> I didn't delete both partitions
[08:56] <sorenode> I deleted the 30 GB partition [2 months ago]
[08:57] <sorenode> and extended the 800 GB partition
[08:57] <bekks> 0225 095136 < sorenode> H I am in some deep trouble. I deleted my windows harddrive partition and the 100 MB system partition using Lubuntu partitioning system.
[08:57] <sorenode> Ohhhh
[08:57] <bekks> you did delete stuff, as you stated.
[08:57] <sorenode> Yes
[08:57] <sorenode> I deleted the windows partition [90 GB]
[08:57] <sorenode> this was the other partition 900 GB
[08:57] <sorenode> 830 GB
[08:57] <sorenode> so that one is gone?
[08:57] <sorenode> I mean, I cannot recover from it?
[08:58] <bekks> So that 830G partition was your windows partition?
[08:58] <sorenode> no
[08:58] <bekks> Then pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" please
[08:58] <sorenode> ok but I am on live
[08:58] <bekks> and provide the URL to your paste.
[08:58] <sorenode> let me do that
[08:59] <sorenode> http://pastebin.com/PaWY0SAj
[08:59] <sorenode> check that plz
[09:01] <bekks> sorenode: You encrypted data within windows, did you?
[09:01] <sorenode> no I didn't
[09:01] <sorenode> bekks .. here was my situation
[09:01] <bekks> your partition layout indicates that you did.
[09:01] <sorenode> bekks.. it was not enc
[09:01] <sorenode> there were 2 partitions
[09:01] <sorenode> I extended
[09:02] <sorenode> so in that windows "create and format partition" screen, I wud see my storage partition of 840 GB as 2 partitions
[09:02] <sorenode> But it is a single partition
[09:02] <sorenode> of NTFS
[09:03] <sorenode> let me tell u what error I get while trying to mount
[09:03] <sorenode> http://pastebin.com/neF6ZvRZ
[09:04] <bekks> sorenode: Pastebin the output of "sudo blkid -g; sudo blkid;" please
[09:05] <Dexter1234> Hi there! Can anybody help me with extending a LVM volume in Ubuntu running within a VM? I'm getting Device /dev/sda3 not found (or ignored by filtering). when running pvcreate :(
[09:05] <bekks> Dexter1234: Pastebin sido fdisk -l please
[09:05] <bekks> *sudo
[09:06] <Dexter1234> bekks: thanks! http://pastebin.com/9KF3SB3L
[09:07] <hateball> Dexter1234: you need to create a LVM partition table
[09:07] <sorenode> http://pastebin.com/TirwVYjK
[09:08] <sorenode> check that out bekks
[09:08] <bekks> hateball: There is no such things as a "LVM partition table".
[09:08] <bekks> -s
[09:08] <sorenode> bekks.. I also got grub on my Lubuntu
[09:09] <sorenode> live
[09:09] <bekks> sorenode: your /dev/sda4 contains a corrupted NTFS filesystem, which needs to be checked.
[09:09] <sorenode> so can I fix grub
[09:09] <Dexter1234> hateball, bekks: I've been following this guide http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/40702/how-to-manage-and-use-lvm-logical-volume-management-in-ubuntu/
[09:09] <sorenode> bekks... ok can the corruption be fixed? or is data lost?
[09:09] <sorenode> also, can u help me fix grub?
[09:09] <sorenode> I am on live USB
[09:10] <bekks> sorenode: you need a windows to fix that NTFS.
[09:10] <sorenode> ok
[09:10] <bekks> Dexter1234: So whats the actual issue now?
[09:10] <sorenode> but windows cannot even detect my harddrive!!!
[09:10] <cfhowlett> sorenode, ##windows      for assistance with windows
[09:10] <bekks> sorenode: You still need a working windows for checking that NTFS, regardless of which computer you are using to do so.
[09:10] <sorenode> No I dont want windows assistance right now
[09:11] <sorenode> I want grub fixed
[09:11] <sorenode> hate windows for what it did to my system right now :(
[09:11] <bekks> !grub2 | sorenode
[09:11] <bekks> sorenode: you did things to your system, not windows.
[09:11] <bekks> you deleted partitions, you merged stuff, you did not cleanly unmount that NTFS. ;)
[09:11] <sorenode> yea
[09:11] <sorenode> true
[09:11] <bekks> So it was you, not windows.
[09:12] <sorenode> but if only windows supported more tahn 3 partitions
[09:12] <Dexter1234> bekks: Device /dev/sda3 not found (or ignored by filtering). when running "sudo pvcreate /dev/sda3"
[09:12] <bekks> sorenode: Windows supports far more than 3 partitions.
[09:12] <hateball> bekks: While you can pvcreate a block device, there certainly is such a thing as LVM partitions
[09:12] <cfhowlett> sorenode, and you ignored all the warnings ubuntu sent you while you were doing it :)
[09:12] <dingus1> hello, I am running from a live usb lubuntu 14.04 it works fine. and windows ME is on the hard drive.
[09:12] <bekks> Dexter1234: thats wrong, because /dev/sda3 is an extended partition, which contains /dev/sda5 which is a LVM PV already.
[09:12] <cfhowlett> sorenode, fix grub by reinstalling grub.  see the link above
[09:12] <sorenode> cfhowlett
[09:12] <bekks> Dexter1234: So using /dev/sda3 is entirely wrong.
[09:13] <bekks> Dexter1234: So what are you trying to do there, actually?
[09:14] <sorenode> sudo grub - install /dev/sda outputs Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[09:14] <gr33n7007h> sorenode: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_the_LiveCD_terminal
[09:14] <sorenode> Yeah I tried that
[09:14] <bekks> sorenode: Did you mount all partitions needed, before?
[09:14] <bekks> sorenode: Doesnt look like that.
[09:14] <sorenode> wait
[09:15] <bekks> sorenode: Just firing up random commands will not repair your grub.
[09:15] <sorenode> bekks
[09:15] <sorenode> for some reason I still see windows on my partition
[09:16] <bekks> sorenode: Which is irrelevant for repairing grub.
[09:16] <sorenode> bekks, let me try mounting then
[09:16] <bekks> sorenode: How about reading the link given, first?
[09:16] <bekks> And then follow it, for repairing your grub?
[09:16] <Blinkiz> Hello. Am building a script that needs to add and delete permanently interface information in /etc/network/interfaces. To make it easier for me to keep state on the file, I would be great if it exist a command line command that adds and deletes interfaces from this file. Does it exist?
[09:17] <sorenode> yea I am reading that :)
[09:17] <sorenode> sorry sorry
[09:17] <bekks> Blinkiz: No.
[09:17] <abaday> hi, how do I check the version of an apache module?
[09:17] <OpenTokix> Blinkiz: Is it only network configuration?
[09:18] <Blinkiz> OpenTokix, yes
[09:18] <Dexter1234> bekks: I'm trying to extend my root partition to get all the available space from the disk, which is 80GB. It is only using  40GB now
[09:18] <OpenTokix> Blinkiz: Check out some config managment tool
[09:18] <Blinkiz> OpenTokix, sure, give me some keyword :)
[09:18] <OpenTokix> Blinkiz: ansible, cfengine, puppet, chef, saltstack
[09:19] <bekks> Dexter1234: So pastebin "sudo lvdisplay -C; sudo vgdisplay -C; pvdisplay -C; sudo fdisk -l;" please
[09:19] <Blinkiz> OpenTokix, Aaaa, never thought about these tools, you are right, should check them out
[09:19] <bekks> abaday: dont listen to that advice, it isnt even needed.
[09:19] <cfhowlett> dingus1, I understand your HDD is a backup of your Win ME?
[09:19] <azizLIGHT> how do i make my monitor on the right the primary monitor? i tried fixing ~/.config/monitors.xml by assigning <primary>yes</primary> to the one on the right and also doing "xrandr --output DVI-D-O --primary" where DVI 0 is my monitor on teh right
[09:19] <bekks> abaday: Which module is in question?
[09:20] <azizLIGHT> also, some indicators appear on 1 panel but not theo ther
[09:20] <azizLIGHT> whys that
[09:20] <OpenTokix> Blinkiz: might be overkill, if its only network config, - but I doubt its the only thing you want to keep track of =)
[09:20] <Blinkiz> OpenTokix, you are right :)
[09:20] <dingus1> hello, I tried to use ubuntu 14.10 but systemback failed. so I went back to lubuntu 14.04 - system back works very well. I am running from a live usb.
[09:20] <tolerious> waiting
[09:21] <cfhowlett> dingus1, planning to dual boot winME and lubuntu?
[09:21] <dingus1> the usb is is a backup of my lubuntu hard drive install. and yes I can still boot win ME from the HD.
[09:21] <dingus1> yes, I can dual boot win ME and lubuntu 14.04 from the hard drive.
[09:22] <cfhowlett> dingus1, partition your HDD and install lubuntu to the HDD
[09:22] <OpenTokix> you should never boot windows me, never
[09:22] <dingus1> and I can use systemback to create a usb stick
[09:22] <Dexter1234> bekks thank you so much. http://pastebin.com/gy5awrsB
[09:22] <dingus1> the HD is only 20GB lubuntu has most of it.
[09:23] <abaday> bekks: authnz_external.load
[09:23] <cfhowlett> dingus1, full lubuntu install alone should only hit 7 gb
[09:23] <bekks> Dexter1234: you did not run all the commands I told you.
[09:23] <cfhowlett> dingus1, your data would add to that
[09:23] <bekks> abaday: Which Ubuntu are you on?
[09:24] <dingus1> so I can purge win ME and install lubuntu 14.04 on the whole 20gb drive?
[09:24] <abaday> bekks: "Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"
[09:24] <bekks> dingus1: Just install Ubuntu, and select the entire drive for installation.
[09:24] <cfhowlett> dingus1, if you don't want me, format the entire HDD and install lubuntu
[09:25] <bekks> abaday: apt-cache policy libapache2-mod-authnz-external
[09:26] <Dexter1234> bekks: sorry, http://pastebin.com/hAWdjCnt
[09:27] <dingus1> I kinda like having win ME on this old computer. It is a gift for my little brother A.K.A. "the idiot". He has a smart phone but has never had a real computer. lol
[09:27] <cfhowlett> dingus1, plan B: install lubuntu, add virtualbox, install winME to vbox
[09:27] <dingus1> that is a good idea. ty
[09:28] <bekks> Dexter1234: So you have to resize sda3, then resize sda5, then resive your PV (sda5), then extend your VG, then resize your LV for /
[09:30] <bekks> Dexter1234: Oh, and last but not least you have to resize the filesystem of /
[09:32] <Dexter1234> bekks: ok, that guide did not mention any of this. Weird! I've created sda3 because of that. Is there any other way of doing this without even creating sda3?
[09:32] <Dexter1234> bekks: I mean, if it makes things simpler
[09:32] <bekks> Dexter1234: Thats why I considered that guide to be utter crap :)
[09:33] <dingus1> install lubuntu. "entire drive for installation" then add virtualbox and install wimME to vbox. cool
[09:33] <bekks> Dexter1234: I told you the way to do what you want, without losing data. You have no other way now :)
[09:33] <dingus1> maybe little brother will not mess that up. haha
[09:34] <Dexter1234> bekks: ouch! Ok thanks!
[09:36] <cfhowlett> dingus1, replacing a broken vbox is trivial compared to replacing a broken buntu.  that said, either restrict your brother to a zero privilege guest account or a low privilege desktop user account.  DO NOT let him near the administrator account.  for that matter, you should add a daily desktop user account for yourself as well and fire up the admin account solely for admin functions.
[09:37] <abaday> bekks: thank you!
[09:38] <azizLIGHT> does ubuntu use lightdm or something else
[09:38] <azizLIGHT> 14.04
[09:38] <OpenTokix> azizLIGHT: lightdm as default yes
[09:38] <cfhowlett> azizLIGHT, I believe all current buntus except server user lightdm
[09:39] <azizLIGHT> alright, thanks
[09:45] <OpenTokix> cfhowlett: if you install a gui on server, you will get lightdm to
[09:45] <cfhowlett> OpenTokix, noted.  thanks.
[09:45] <OpenTokix> cfhowlett: There is no real differance between "editions"
[09:45] <OpenTokix> cfhowlett: just convenient - like different colors on a car - still the same car
[09:45] <Ben64> not exactly true, you can have gui on a server without lightdm
[09:46] <OpenTokix> Ben64: Yes, ofc - but if you install the meta package you will get a session handler, and it ill be lightdm
[09:46] <Ben64> well yeah of course if you install ubuntu-desktop you're going to get everything in it
[09:47] <OpenTokix> Ben64: And I assume someone asking the question of that nature is going to do.
[09:47] <Ben64> assuming is bad
[09:51] <azizLIGHT> how do i use hotcorners if i turn off sticky edges in dual monitor setup
[09:51] <azizLIGHT> on the edge where the monitors meet
[09:52] <azizLIGHT> is it not possible to use hotcorners on the edge where the monitors meet?
[09:54] <edman747> bac
[09:54] <dingus1> now I am back.
[09:56] <Dominique> Anyone know a good bind DNS management web tool?
[09:56] <Dominique> I've looked at NicTool but it's a pain in the behind to install plus not really  working on newer distributions.
[09:57] <OpenTokix> Dominique: I have never seen any, but why use bind on a new installation anyway? Check out powerdns with a sql backend - for poweradmin web gui or  something similar.
[10:00] <Dominique> OpenTokix: bind is not a requirement but it's most commonly used though. And the powerdns GUI (the one I know) is really not that user friendly afaik
[10:01] <Dominique> It's only for internal DNS usage, not outside the company
[10:02] <OpenTokix> Dominique: are you planning to host customers domains and let them edit zones and such?
[10:02] <Dominique> OpenTokix: Nope, just for my colleagues. I would prefer to have a history shown inside the interface of what is changed. Optionally also LDAP support but not required
[10:03] <OpenTokix> Dominique: I think there is some commercial stuff out there, other wise I think you need to make it yourself. - And I would _never_ run bind in a new installation.
[10:03] <Dominique> I would write something myself but I don't have the time for it
[10:03] <Dominique> OpenTokix: Why would you not run bind? Care to explain?
[10:03] <Dominique> I regardless need to import current BIND data
[10:03] <Dominique> And current bind needs to run as slave for the new one so I can push changes to it
[10:04] <Dominique> Also if you know commercial products, please share :) Our company does not mind paying for something decent
[10:04] <OpenTokix> Dominique: importing bind zones is a no brainer to whatever you use. - But bind is old, has some issues with the config that you need to ake in account to make it secure and not a ddos amplifier as it is by default. - Only thing with bind is that is is very very fast, so if you have huge volume (50-100k req/minute+) - I would go with bind - not else.
[10:05] <OpenTokix> Dominique: I dont have a bind commercial product on the top of my head, just vague memories of seeing a few.
[10:05] <OpenTokix> Dominique: powerdns is very nice- also wrting your own tool to a sql backend for powerdns is trivial
[10:07] <Dominique> OpenTokix: Cool thanks, I'll check out powerdns then. Do you know if I can let a bind run as a slave to powerdns (just temporarily) ?
[10:08] <OpenTokix> Dominique: yes, ofc. - powerdns is a fully fledged dns-server. - you can keep your sql-backed powerdns as a master, and then have bind slaves internet-facing if you want to
[10:08] <OpenTokix> Dominique: or just buy the slave-dns from somewhere
[10:09] <azizLIGHT> so.. dual monitor people, how do you make the notifications appear on the right monitor
[10:09] <azizLIGHT> my volume status show on my left monitor, and i want it on the right
[10:10] <htaccesshelp> hi!
[10:10] <htaccesshelp> need help with a rewriterule on htaccess, can you help me please? :D
[10:10] <Dominique> OpenTokix: Thanks a bunch! Well the slave is one running right now already so that's just so we can take our time to kill the old one.
[10:10] <OpenTokix> Dominique: yeah
[10:10] <OpenTokix> Dominique: I think you will come around for powerdns when you try it ;)
[10:11] <Dominique> Surely :) I wonder if there is some python interface for powerdns
[10:11] <Dominique> if not I'll write one myself
[10:12] <OpenTokix> Dominique: https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdnscontrol <-- They made one ;)
[10:16] <azizLIGHT> is it possible to have workspace for only 1 monitor
[10:17] <OpenTokix> azizLIGHT: yes, if you start one xserver for each monitor, - then you cant drag windows between them. - Better solution is to just make windows on the other monitor sticky - ie. "Show on all workspaces"
[10:18] <Dominique> OpenTokix: I noticed, thanks! :D
[10:18] <Dominique> Which is good considering I'm a python programmer, and I can easily extend it :)
[10:19] <MHell> jail Dominique
[10:19] <Dominique> MHell: Hmm? :D
[10:19] <azizLIGHT> OpenTokix: thats a good idea
[10:20] <azizLIGHT> OpenTokix: that works for me lol
[10:20] <azizLIGHT> still trying to figure out dual monitor :D
[10:20] <azizLIGHT> so bear with my stupid questions please
[10:21] <MHell> lol
[10:21] <OpenTokix> azizLIGHT: i have had dual monitor setup for 15 years - love it - using tripple head now.  Right for web/mail/various and left for terminals. - But I have terminator split terminals for left and middle monitor that has a configuration of 8 terminals of various sizes.
[10:29] <azizLIGHT> what if you had a monitor for every terminal
[10:30] <azizLIGHT> would be overkill but awesome
[10:31] <OpenTokix> azizLIGHT: dont want to move head to much
[10:42] <littlebit> Hi I have a question, I use guake, a dropdown terminal window, and I use gvim in order to use vim. And I noticed that I have different colors used in each of those (guake, gvim), although I use solarized-dark as a default coloscheme. Does that symptom come from vi?
[10:42] <littlebit> where can I change the color schemes of the terminal in ubuntu
[10:43] <bob_> what DE do you use?
[10:44] <k1l_> littlebit: does it use gnome-terminal? then in the profile settings of gnome-terminal
[10:45] <littlebit> k1l_: sorry I forgot to mention that I use xubuntu
[10:45] <littlebit> :)
[10:45] <littlebit> appoligies
[10:45] <cfhowlett> littlebit, terminal preferences > color
[10:45] <k1l_> they use xfce-terminal (or something named like that)
[10:46] <mcphail> littlebit: vim uses different themes for colours. Don't know what theme it adopts if you don't explicity pick one, though
[10:47] <PCatinean> Help I have messed up my python libraries :(
[10:47]  * mcphail notes "colorscheme desert" in his .vimrc
[10:47] <PCatinean> I used a combination of apt-get install/remove with pip install/remove and I seem to have broken something

[10:55] <jimini> hey there :) a want to install Ubuntu 14.10 on a Lenovo Ideapad S205. since this notebook seems to have a very crappy EFI implementation, the system does not boot after the installation process has completed. I followed numerous guides like http://askubuntu.com/questions/554583/unable-to-upgrade-or-fresh-install-lubuntu-14-10-32bit-on-lenovo-ideapad-s205, but the boot manager simply does not show up. any ideas?
[10:55] <placydo> k1l_, what do You mean by that?
[10:55] <k1l_> placydo: and please show the output of  "groups" in terminal
[10:55] <placydo> well there is written that it is partial update
[10:55] <placydo> what i performed is update via software update
[10:56] <placydo> root:x:0:
[10:56] <placydo> daemon:x:1:
[10:56] <placydo> bin:x:2:
[10:56] <placydo> sys:x:3:
[10:56] <placydo> adm:x:4:syslog,placydo
[10:56] <placydo> or You need rest?
[10:56] <k1l_> and do yu have some special setup? did you do something with your sudo setup?
[10:56] <magman> am I in the right place to get help with nvidia 840M drivers for kubuntu
[10:56] <placydo> nope
[10:57] <jf1976> good day all, just checking system updates and thought i would have a read over at http://cve.mitre.org however upon clicking a link in the update manager firefox opens the page with the following error "is a malformed CVE-ID"
[10:57] <k1l_> placydo: open a terminal and just put "groups" in there. it should list your users groups in one line. show that line here
[10:57] <magman> how do I get bumblebee and or invidia drivers
[10:57] <jf1976> is this something i should worry about or is an update en-route to fix this ?
[10:57] <placydo> root
[10:57] <k1l_> magman: install the nvidia drivers from the prop. driver install page. i dont know where that is on kde
[10:58] <k1l_> placydo: why are you root?
[10:58] <k1l_> placydo: the root user is not to be used on ubuntu. if you use that there is no wonder somethings not working
[10:58] <placydo> i dont know
[10:58] <jf1976> looks like the format is changing, thats all..
[10:59] <placydo> All worked fine and after update I cannot work with Ubuntu
[10:59] <jf1976> http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2014-9656 works with a different "CVE-IDs have a new format" message
[10:59] <k1l_> placydo: so are you logged in as root?
[10:59] <placydo> no logged in as me
[10:59] <placydo> as placydo user
[10:59] <magman> thank you looking
[10:59] <k1l_> so type in the terminal "groups" that will list all groups the user is in
[11:00] <k1l_> its one line with several groups. copy them here
[11:00] <placydo> ok now i get it
[11:00] <placydo> placydo root adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev netdev lpadmin sambashare
[11:02] <k1l_> so you did change stuff? because the root group is not standard setup for users
[11:02] <Dominique> OpenTokix: If you don't mind me asking, should I be installing powerdns from the Ubuntu repo (version 3.3) or is that quite old?
[11:02] <placydo> yes
[11:02] <placydo> i added myself to root as i thought it will fix the problem
[11:02] <placydo> but it did not so i removed myself from that group
[11:03] <placydo> so probobly it requires reboot
[11:03] <OpenTokix> Dominique: Use the repo one, since you will get security updates automatiaclly
[11:03] <k1l_> placydo: did you try a reboot since?
[11:03] <Dominique> Alright, cheers :)
[11:04] <placydo> rebooting now
[11:04] <DrGrov> Hi, running 14.04 with Xubuntu and having kubuntu-desktop installed. This is what occured, the nVidia 331 bug with a kernel update. Any advice how to fix it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates/+bug/1268257
[11:06] <placydo> k1l_, now I have no root after rebooting
[11:06] <placydo> so removing me from that group was success. But still cannot use vpn etc etc
[11:07] <k1l_> placydo: what does .xsession-errors tell you? please pastebin
[11:07] <k1l_> !paste | placydo
[11:08] <_sui> hi, i want to install utopic on an ibm server with a serveraid controller. it seems to be a lsi mpt2 controller but the installer is unable to detect this. i chose ips and mpt2sas kernel modules manually but no chance. what else can i try?
[11:08] <placydo> k1l_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10406208/
[11:08] <_sui> on the ibm website i can download a driver package for SLES
[11:09] <_sui> is there an debian / ubuntu driver i can try?
[11:09] <GaGr> Hi all, just a quick question, how can I install multiple shapes in DIA ?
[11:10] <k1l_> placydo: what ubuntu is that exactly?
[11:10] <DrGrov> Can I somehow reinstall the faulty nVidia "nvidia-331-uvm" package?
[11:10] <OpenTokix> GaGr: Throw DIA out the window and switch to yEd
[11:10] <placydo> 14.10 after update from 14.04
[11:11] <k1l_> placydo: what desktop?
[11:11] <placydo> unity
[11:11] <k1l_> in terminal: "ls -al" does everything there belong to user:user?
[11:11] <GaGr> I will check it out OpenTokix ;)
[11:12] <placydo> (i am noob in ubunto so if my answer will be meaningless let me know)
[11:12] <OpenTokix> GaGr: I used dia for years, tried yEd once - havent opened dia since =)
[11:14] <k1l_> placydo: k1l_> in terminal: "ls -al" does everything there belong to user:user?
[11:15] <placydo> yes
[11:15] <placydo> except .. that belongs to root
[11:16] <k1l_> well, .gvfs should belong to root:root
[11:16] <placydo> i have nothing such
[11:16] <k1l_> well ok.
[11:16] <GaGr> OpenTokix: next question .. how do I install AWS shapes in yED ;)
[11:17] <k1l_> does sudo work in the terminal? like whe you use "sudo apt-get update"
[11:17] <placydo> k1l_,  wait
[11:17] <placydo> i found .xsession-errors.old
[11:18] <placydo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10406304/
[11:19] <OpenTokix> GaGr: There is a palette handler in yEd, where you select your palettefileand it will get copied
[11:19] <GaGr> OpenTokix: thanks I will check it out ;) Really appreciate your help!

[11:20] <VilasBoas> Hi can anyone please help me installing a wifi driver ?
[11:20] <k1l_> placydo: <k1l_> does sudo work in the terminal? like whe you use "sudo apt-get update"
[11:20] <VilasBoas> the ath9k
[11:20] <placydo> yes sudo from terminal is fine
[11:21] <k1l_> does "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" run fine? install updates? give errors?
[11:22] <OpenTokix> k1l_: you should not suggest people run "dist-upgrade" as a test
[11:22] <placydo> yes thats ok without any errors
[11:22] <k1l_> OpenTokix: that will not upgrade to a new ubuntu release
[11:22] <OpenTokix> k1l_: no, but it might to breaking upgrades - or major upgrades on libraries
[11:23] <bzn> hi, I have a problem. After upgrading to the latest xorg utopic version at boot my system doesnt show the lightdm login screen. I only get the text/server mode. Any idea how to fix it?
[11:23] <k1l_> OpenTokix: he just updated and there seems to be some issue afterwards anyways. maybe some updates are missing
[11:24] <k1l_> but since i need to leave for some time now maybe others can help you find the issue. placydo
[11:25] <k1l_> placydo: can you make a new user and see if that user can login and have root permissions?
[11:27] <PhoenixSTF> hey guys I just got a run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 3.13.0-46-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-46-generic, Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.13.0-46-generic (x86_64).
[11:28] <killall> hello
[11:29] <killall> in bash how do i know that "programX -i hci0" is running?
[11:31] <tnkhanh> OpenTokix: why shouldn't dist-upgrade be run as a test?
[11:31] <tnkhanh> whois OpenTokix
[11:31] <tnkhanh> oops
[11:32] <bzn> hehe
[11:34] <bzn> hmm, got it. But how come this is a low priority bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-lts-quantal/+bug/1132736
[11:35] <bzn> imho it's a pretty big bug
[11:35] <ikonia> bump the priority then
[11:38] <tnkhanh> Triaged means the bug takes too much time to solve so we ignore it?
[11:39] <ikonia> no
[11:39] <ikonia> it means it's been allocated to the correct team
[11:39] <bzn> that would be terrible. I mean, i just made the upgrade and no login screen at start anymore.
[11:40] <ikonia> ok - so push the priority
[11:40] <ikonia> talking about it in here won't really do anything
[11:40] <tnkhanh> ikonia: ah i see :)
[11:40] <ikonia> updating and managing the bug and working with the people involved will
[11:40] <EriC^^> bzn, the bug's description suggests it can be fixed easily
[11:40] <EriC^^> bzn, just make the symlink manually
[11:42] <bzn> EriC^^: yes, but i didn't know that. I've wasted 15 min without a X server to fix that bug.
[11:42] <mike_papa> Hello. Can anyone help me with preseeded install? How do I prevent installer from downloading anything from internet? I just want to install from iso, without upgrading/downloading anything more.
[11:42] <mike_papa> I'm installing 14.10 server.
[11:42] <mike_papa> i386 if that matters on VM.
[11:42] <EriC^^> mike_papa, turn the internet off
[11:42] <ljunggren> lol
[11:43] <mike_papa> EriC: it's not that easy, but works.  Just wanted to say that ;)

[12:09] <ablest1980> hi gm
[12:09] <ablest1980> i need some help
[12:10] <ablest1980> before i login to ubuntu it prompts me for passphase
[12:10] <White_Cat> so I am trying to setup rsnapshot for backup
[12:10] <ablest1980> how do i change it
[12:10] <White_Cat> what should I backup with it? I am thinking of backing up everything except the backup directory
[12:10] <White_Cat> is this a good strategy?
[12:11] <jpds> White_Cat: What do you need to backup?
[12:11] <White_Cat> jpds I am thinking of backing up everything just in case
[12:11] <jpds> White_Cat: Then do that. :)
[12:11] <White_Cat> I am not very proficient with ubuntu/linux so I dont want to exclude something and it turns out I need it
[12:11] <k1l_> ablest1980: do you have encryption setup?
[12:12] <silb> then do the backup on a different disk :)
[12:12] <nobody44> Hello, is the support of java in the LTS releases going to end when oracle stop supporting java 7?
[12:12] <ablest1980> yes k1l
[12:12] <White_Cat> jpds right but backup config lists a nnumber of directories
[12:12] <White_Cat> can I just do something like / for everything
[12:12] <k1l_> ablest1980: that is the passphrase for
[12:12] <White_Cat> but then I need to exclude backup directory
[12:12] <jpds> White_Cat: I would just do /home
[12:12] <jpds> White_Cat: And back up to an external disk in /media.
[12:12] <ablest1980> yes how do i  change it
[12:13] <nobody44> we use Ubuntu LTS 14.04 on our servers + tomcat 7 and java 7. What happens to the openjdk package when oracle stop supporting Java 7? Or does this only concern the Oracle JDK / JRE 7 packages?
[12:13] <White_Cat> jpds I have external disk mounted under /backup
[12:13] <silb> is here someone experienced with developing c# programms in ubuntu?
[12:13] <jpds> nobody44: #ubuntu-server.
[12:13] <jpds> White_Cat: Same thing.
[12:13] <Faylite> silb, Tried some, what you need to know?
[12:13] <White_Cat> I know I at least need otc directory
[12:13] <nobody44> jpds: thanks
[12:14] <k1l_> ablest1980: i am not familiar with cryptsetup: i just found that, but you really need to read yourself into that topic not to loose all data: http://askubuntu.com/questions/109898/how-to-change-the-password-of-an-encrypted-lvm-system-done-with-the-alternate-i
[12:14] <White_Cat> *opt
[12:14] <ablest1980> ty k1l_
[12:14] <White_Cat> jpds can I backup everything?
[12:15] <White_Cat> I really am uncomfortable just backing up home since that has very few of my files
[12:15] <silb> Faylite, my problem is: i work as a c# developer (thus im loving C++).  but for my pc's at home, i dont want to install windows. I want to stick with ubuntu. So is there a compatibily with visual studio projects and ubuntu?
[12:15] <jpds> White_Cat: The rest of your filesystem is just binaries from installed packages, surely?
[12:15] <White_Cat> yes but also conf files and log files
[12:16] <ironbull> hi, can someone help me ?  ... from the last  update i can't use my desktop  -  no bars, no terminal ...  got someone this problem ?
[12:16] <jpds> White_Cat: Do you really need those?
[12:16] <White_Cat> if something goes wrong I want to be able to quickly restore
[12:16] <placydo> k1l_, sudo apt-get remove ulatencyd fixed the problem
[12:16] <White_Cat> would I not be able to do that?
[12:16] <Faylite> I think Mono supports Visual Studio projects, not 100% sure.
[12:16] <silb> ok
[12:16] <silb> which IDE do you use?
[12:16] <silb> "monoDevelop"?
[12:17] <k1l_> placydo: oh, 3rd party programs
[12:17] <Faylite> I used that previously, no I started with C++.
[12:17] <Faylite> now*
[12:17] <silb> yeah, in private i programm in C++. but i want to close the gap with C# and ubuntu for my work purposes
[12:17] <Faylite> silb: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8264323/how-to-compile-a-visual-studio-c-sharp-project-with-mono
[12:18] <Faylite> Lookup xbuild
[12:18] <Faylite> The Mono version of MSBuild
[12:18] <placydo> k1l_, but thanks a lot for Your time! Its thank to You and Your questions I have found the solution.
[12:19] <silb> thanks Faylite, gonna have a lookt at it now :)
[12:19] <k1l_> np
[12:19] <ablest1980> ty k1l_ seems to work let me go test it brb
[12:20] <Faylite> mono doesn't support WPF tho, and there might be some other limitations.
[12:20] <Dominique> OpenTokix: I see some comments about powerdns not being able to forward unknown dns records to e.g. google dns. I want to be able to setup forwarding for the dns records not available in powerdns.. is that possible somehow?
[12:21] <silb> gonna try now to build a .sln project :)
[12:22] <ablest1980> ty again k1l_ it worked
[12:22] <ablest1980> :)
[12:24] <nwix> hello there, I am trying to upgrade to 14.04.2. via update manager but it doesnt show the distro upgrade alert. Upgrade alerts in software sources are enabled

[12:29] <nwix> ok solved, thanks
[12:31] <icebolt> bye
[12:35] <Skizu> I messed up guys
[12:36] <Skizu> I just installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS desktop edition
[12:36] <Skizu> Installed alongside windows 7, thought it'd install on the new blank SSD, it didn't
[12:37] <Skizu> Now windows 7 won't boot, says no permission or something, I tried to use the repair, but the size is 0KB, so I assume no permission, anyone had this issue or know a resource to help repair this?
[12:42] <freeroute> bekks: this post really explained the whole HWE thing to me - http://askubuntu.com/questions/248914/what-is-hardware-enablement-hwe - ...but I'm still unsure as to why the -image tag has to be added to the kernels. You mentioned that it's the name of the linux kernel package as packaged for Ubuntu, but isn't it the same for linux-generic? For example, why is the -image tag missing from
[12:42] <freeroute> lunux-signed-generic-lts-trusty? I've tried to read this LTS enablement stack documentation (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack) but I feel it was written for reference use mostly. From what I've understand it's a combination of HWE and LTS kernels. I did however learn a bit more about the release schedule of Ubuntu kernels.
[12:43] <freeroute> Skizu: boot from into a liveCD and run sudo gparted
[12:43] <freeroute> that will tell you if the partitions are still there, and hope that you didn't overwrite your win7 partition with your ubuntu one
[12:44] <Skizu> What's liveCD?
[12:44] <freeroute> Skizu: what experience do you have with Ubuntu? Let's start with that.
[12:44] <Skizu> I've never used it as a desktop, only server edition
[12:44] <Skizu> CLI
[12:45] <freeroute> ok, so you're comfortable with the CLI?
[12:45] <k1l_> Skizu: are you sure you installed alongside windows?
[12:45] <Skizu> Sure, not an expert by all means
[12:45] <Skizu> The option literally said, install ubuntu alongside windows 7
[12:45] <k1l_> ca you show a "sudo fdisk -l" (small L at the end) in a pastebin?
[12:45] <freeroute> cool, then let's find out if you installed Ubuntu alongside win7 or on top of it, do what k1l_ says if you're still booted in Ubuntu.
[12:46] <freeroute> if not, you can boot from the USB stick / CD and select "Try Ubuntu without installing" option.
[12:47] <Skizu> k1l_: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=a3fb908
[12:47] <bekks> freeroute: Whats the actual issue behind your questions about the names of the kernel packages?
[12:48] <bekks> freeroute: whats the big picture?
[12:48] <k1l_> Skizu: well, what sort of setup is this? windows on a 1tb disk and ubuntu should be on the 120Gb disk?
[12:49] <Skizu> Windows was on the 120GB disk
[12:49] <Skizu> Data on the 1TB disk, and wanted ubuntu on the 30GB disk
[12:49] <freeroute> bekks: I was just wondering what the difference was between all those kernels. My goal was to get the latest kernel or a kernel with latest features. As I've learned that would be the HWE kernel. A side question was what the -image tag meant on kernels.
[12:50] <Skizu> What I think it currently is is, Windows and Ubuntu on the 120GB disk
[12:50] <k1l_> Skizu: well, the 30GB disk is ntfs, that is not ubuntu.
[12:50] <Skizu> Basically I want to fix the 120GB disk to be just windows, and then I'll format the 30GB disk and install ubuntu again
[12:51] <k1l_> but i am not familiar with gpt and uefi (and i dont like that) so i am not much help in that setup
[12:52] <freeroute> bekks: ideally, that kernel with the latest features would also be supported as long as an LTS kernel in the sense that it would keep receiving critical/security updates.
[12:52] <Skizu> k1l_: I've no idea what they are either
[12:52] <Ben64> a "sudo parted -l" will show the partitions on the GPT drive
[12:52] <freeroute> (if parted is installed)
[12:52] <k1l_> freeroute: hardware enablement stack is to provide newer kernels and xorg to the LTS release as an option since you dont want 3-5 years old kernels and such sometimes but want a LTS release for the rest.
[12:53] <bekks> freeroute: Which is not the case.
[12:53] <bekks> freeroute: "the lastest kernel" is "the latest kernel provided for that LTS release", then your statement is true.
[12:53] <k1l_> freeroute: so the HWE is using the backports kernels from like 14.10. but keep in mind that you need to switch to the next kernel since the HWE got limited support timeframes
[12:54] <Skizu> Result of what Ben64 said http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=ee94166
[12:54] <Ben64> Skizu: that doesn't look good at all...
[12:55] <Skizu> Am I right in reading this; windows gotsquashed to 1049kB ?
[12:55] <Ben64> Skizu: you said windows was on the 120GB? Because it does not appear to be currently
[12:55] <Skizu> Ubuntu, you're a ****
[12:55] <Ben64> you can't blame ubuntu
[12:56] <Skizu> I used the Ubuntu install alongside Windows 7 option, I will blame their lies
[12:56] <k1l_> why does the 1TB has a boot flag then?
[12:56] <Ben64> it asks you what to do, and it also has you confirm what its about to do before it changes anything
[12:56] <k1l_> if its only data partition
[12:56] <Skizu> I confirmed the option Install alongside Windows 7
[12:57] <vishnuavenu> how to backup my os installation partition on another partition of same hard disk ...
[12:57] <cfhowlett> Skizu, less attitude + more facts MIGHT actually yield some assistance.
[12:57] <vishnuavenu> i do'nt want to .. purchase new harddrive
[12:57] <freeroute> k1l_: so after the support for that HWE kernel has ended, can I then switch to the HWE kernel of the next LTS release?
[12:58] <bekks> No.
[12:58] <k1l_> freeroute: every pointrelease there is a new HWE kernel, yes
[12:58] <k1l_> freeroute: and you need to change to the other kernel package.
[12:58] <bekks> Every pointrelease, but yout are not intended to use a kernel for another LTS release.
[12:58] <bekks> *you
[12:59] <k1l_> and you are still mixing LTS releases there
[12:59] <Ben64> freeroute: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=14.04.x+Ubuntu+Kernel+Support+Schedule.png
[12:59] <bekks> freeroute: LTS releases: 12.04, 14.04, 16.04, etc - pointreleases: 14.04, 14.04.1, 14.04.2, etc
[12:59] <k1l_> freeroute: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=14.04.x+Ubuntu+Kernel+Support+Schedule.png
[13:00] <k1l_> freeroute: the page really really really explaines it all, even with pictures.
[13:00] <freeroute> I thought https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/ was primarily used as reference for developers.
[13:01] <Skizu> So can I assume my windows is gone? Or if it's got a read issue? As it says that there's like a read issue in many places?
[13:01] <freeroute> also I thought that pointreleases were a part of LTS
[13:01] <k1l_> freeroute: you are mixing a lot of things here
[13:01] <freeroute> yes :(
[13:02] <vishnuavenu> how to backup my os installation partition on another partition of same hard disk ...
[13:02] <k1l_> freeroute: so what is your actual question? (i only see you mising more things into stuff you already dont understand)
[13:02] <k1l_> *mixing
[13:03] <Ben64> vishnuavenu: you'd need a second partition the same size or bigger
[13:03] <vishnuavenu> ya i have ...
[13:03] <freeroute> k1l_: I think mainly I just wanted a kernel with latest features and long critical/security support, so I wondered if such a thing existed.
[13:04] <vishnuavenu> even if partition have on 8 gb ... written
[13:04] <vishnuavenu> i want to backup the ..  You always need to run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade for getting updfates.
[13:06] <bekks> *updates
[13:06] <vishnuavenu> ok ... then ... what tool should i use
[13:06] <k1l_> freeroute: that is running updates at all. apt-get dist-upgrade is needed for getting updates that require other packages to be installed while update, like kernel updates do
[13:07] <freeroute> bekks: oh, I always ran sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[13:07] <mike_papa> vishnuavenu: look for 'dd backup'  on google. It will let you create image of partition. You can compress it -  this way empty space will take virtuallay no space.
[13:07] <bekks> freeroute: use dist-upgrade instead of upgrade, as the messages on the screen tell you :)
[13:08] <freeroute> oh, someone used to tell me (on this channel) that it wasn't always safe but I'll just do dist-upgrade then
[13:08] <mike_papa> vishnuavenu: But as others said. Keeping bakcup on same disk is not good idea. Unless you experiment, and want to have img for quick recovery.

[13:11] <vishnuavenu> yaa that what i needed
[13:12] <vishnuavenu> ... i just want secure my ... fresh installed upgraded os installation
[13:12] <cfhowlett> vishnuavenu asked and answered.  you know what you need to do, so stop repeating the question please

[13:13] <zlude> Hello! I need to use delldset_v<IP_ADDRESS>_A00.bin but it's work just on RHEL OS's, can i run it on Debian using something? someone can help me?
[13:13] <cfhowlett> zlude, wrong channel.  neither rhel or debian is supported here.
[13:13] <k1l_> zlude: well for debian better ask in #debian
[13:13] <dvanstone> hello since yesterdays update my login screen does not appear it displays a solid white screen with a pointer no graphics or user input for password until i click on the screen and then it displays the login screen is this a bug or a simple fix ?
[13:13] <zlude> lol
[13:14] <vishnuavenu> ??? sry cfhowlett ... i asked ... the procedure ... only .. i am clear with my demand
[13:14] <zlude> it's the same as ubuntu, both uses DEB files
[13:14] <zlude> let me change than...
[13:14] <k1l_> zlude: no drama needed. just ask in the appropriate channels and its al good
[13:14] <zlude> Hello! I need to use delldset_v<IP_ADDRESS>_A00.bin but it's work just on RHEL OS's, can i run it on UBUNTU using something? someone can help me?
[13:14] <zlude> better now?
[13:14] <zlude> (:
[13:14] <cfhowlett> vishnuavenu, cp or dd to the external storage.  for more info: man cp or man dd
[13:15] <jpds> zlude: Only one way to find out really.
[13:15] <dvanstone> anyone ?
[13:15] <OpenTokix> GaGr: Glad you like it, - its so much better than dia =)
[13:15] <k1l_> zlude: no. you are spoiling volunteers help. please dont be that rude. ask in #debian. thanks
[13:15] <jpds> zlude: Just run it, and if it doesn't work, ask whomever supplied you the binary.
[13:15] <vishnuavenu> thankx cfhowlett and others
[13:15] <GaGr> OpenTokix: Yep totally! Thanks again for your help ;)
[13:16] <zlude> ok guys, see you next time! fuckoff.
[13:16] <jpds> What a polite person.
[13:16] <kidnap> lol
[13:17] <Amelie2324> hi
[13:17] <dvanstone> hi
[13:21] <dvanstone> is this the correct channel to ask questions about ubuntu ?
[13:21] <jpds> dvanstone: Yes.
[13:21] <Amelie2324> I don't understand why I get twice "true" here: http://pastebin.com/nk3NymVE
[13:21] <dvanstone> hello since yesterdays update my login screen does not appear it displays a solid white screen with a pointer no graphics or user input for password until i click on the screen and then it displays the login screen is this a bug or a simple fix ?
[13:24] <dvanstone> hmm
[13:26] <k1l_> dvanstone: what setup is this? what ubuntu exactly? what desktop? what video driver/card?
[13:28] <dvanstone> kil_ platform.linux_distribution() = ('Ubuntu', '14.04', 'trusty') os.getenv('DESKTOP_SESSION') = ubuntu
[13:29] <dvanstone> kil_ platform.platform = Linux-3.13.0-45-generic-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-14.04-trusty
[13:30] <k1l_> dvanstone: i didnt hear of a bug like this for 14.04 so far.
[13:30] <dvanstone> it started after yesterdays updates
[13:31] <dvanstone> kil_ and it also affect the start up sound the jungle drum or whatever it is called no longer is heard
[13:31] <dvanstone> but sound works in all other places
[13:32] <dvanstone> after logging in
[13:32] <anti_theocon> does the apt-get installations update the system installed updates? or does one need to update thru system, then do apt-get upgrade manually?
[13:32] <amancer1> Hey guys
[13:33] <amancer1> I have an error when using gedit, can anyone help me out?
[13:33] <cfhowlett> Anti-Pizza, apt-get installs the specified package.  apt-get upgrade upgrades installed packages
[13:33] <dvanstone> amancer1 error as in
[13:34] <anti_theocon> but not the ones that come in with software installer?
[13:34] <amancer1> I’ll pastebin mom

[13:42] <anti_theocon> cheers
[13:45] <dvanstone> amancer1 have you tried vi or nano ?
[13:46] <amancer1> nano works, but I’d like to get gedit fixed
[13:51] <amancer1> dvanstone: Ok I figured it’s because I’m trying to use gedit via an SSH Session. It works fine when launched from terminal...

[14:06] <abaday>  mod_authn_socache
[14:06] <Quoexl> google mod_authn_socache
[14:06] <Quoexl> maybe put download after that
[14:07] <bazhang>  File mod_authn_socache found in apache2-bin abaday
[14:07] <Quoexl> thats the man, bazhang
[14:08] <bazhang> Quoexl, instead of telling people to google, please try /msg ubottu find package

[14:11] <tnkhanh> hi
[14:13] <argali> hey guys. is it possible that the grub timeout is disabled at boot when the system crashed the last time it ran?
[14:14] <argali> meaning one has to hit Enter at boot?
[14:14] <cfhowlett> argali, unlikely that a screen crash could impact the grub timeout configurations
[14:15] <HoloPed> hey guys
[14:15] <argali> cfhowlett: but it does.
[14:15] <HoloPed> how do I connected to a wireless network from terminal? All I have is SSH access
[14:16] <welovfree> Hello guys, I am looking for a command that involves 'dns'?
[14:16] <argali> this is not present in the 14.04 netinstall but on the normal server image.
[14:16] <argali> unacceptable when running headless machines.
[14:16] <argali> or vms
[14:17] <HoloPed> What can I do if ubuntu doesn't recognize the wifi dongle ?
[14:17] <jam3smpink> is there a live (persistant mode) distro i can use on a hp630 laptop? the 14.10 doesnt seem to like the graphics card on it
[14:17] <Apachez> whats the proper fstab config for /tmp if I want to run it from memory? it seems that using noexec is bad for apt-get who will fail updates?
[14:17] <cfhowlett> HoloPed, sanest option?  purchase a supported dongle, not one that you have to gator wrestle into compliance.
[14:18] <HoloPed> cfhowlett, it was suppose to be supported. I need to look into which model it is exactly
[14:18] <HoloPed> I didn't buy it
[14:18] <magman> no driver settings in system settings in kbuntu
[14:19] <magman> need to add addtional drivers in Kubuntu
[14:19] <magman> anyone out there that can help me...
[14:19] <cfhowlett> magman, drivers for ... ?
[14:21] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[14:21] <HoloPed> cfhowlett, its a Ae6000
[14:21] <argali> cfhowlett: Found it, Grub has a failsafe mode GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=2
[14:22] <cfhowlett> !hardware | HoloPed,
[14:23] <Xano> I am looking for a solution that accepts a maximum system load and info on how to spawn child processes (queue workers) and balances the number of child processes (workers) against the system load. If the load gets too high, it should kill workers, but if the load gets too low, it should spawn new ones. Does something like this exist?
[14:24] <HoloPed> cfhowlett, thanks
[14:24] <cfhowlett> HoloPed, check ebay and amazon.  You'll probably find a bargain and save time, effort and frustration.
[14:27] <OpenTokix> Xano: never heard of, and it would probably spinn out of control
[14:27] <Xano> OpenTokix: How so?
[14:28] <OpenTokix> Xano: since the fork of new workers would give you some load increase, and if you are right above the treshhold
[14:28] <OpenTokix> Xano: is it just general processes, or something you think about?
[14:28] <Xano> OpenTokix: AMQP queue workers that perform analyses on a multicore server
[14:29] <Xano> And in our current (homemade not very well-designed) system we start with one worker per queue and increase or decrease based on the system's load average
[14:29] <Xano> The workers are started on cron, however, and they terminate once they've completed a cycle
[14:30] <Xano> The new system will have workers running continuously until they are killed by another process, or until they crash
[14:30] <trijntje> I accidentally deleted a bunch of scripts I wrote, what is the best way to recover only these scripts?
[14:31] <somsip> trijntje: how did you delete them?
[14:31] <OpenTokix> Xano: your very latency sensitive, or why are you starting and stopping workers?
[14:32] <whimboo> i experience some slowness in downloading security updates for ubuntu 14.10 from various servers. can it be that some have load issues?
[14:32] <whimboo> like http://us.archive.ubuntu.com
[14:32] <whimboo> i get about 90kb/s only
[14:32] <Xano> OpenTokix: The current situation stops workers, because they are PHP scripts that just terminate when they're done processing a single item. The next cron run then spawns new workers. The new situation (with the AMQP queue) will have workers running continuously on multiple servers (not all with the same specs), so we're looking for a solution that automatically optimizes the number of workers.
[14:32] <trijntje> somsip: rm. The problem is that the partition that held the scripts also has a lot of very big data files, so I'm looking for some program that can recover only ascii files < 500kb or so
[14:33] <OpenTokix> Xano: I havent seen it - but I "think" it would be doable with monit (system to run services)
[14:33] <somsip> trijntje: don't do anything that might write data to the drive, and look at this http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/
[14:33] <Xano> OpenTokix: https://mmonit.com/ ?
[14:33] <OpenTokix> Xano: I would say, just let the workers running - dont think of it as a program, think of it as a tube for trains passing thru. - They are always open.
[14:34] <Xano> OpenTokix: I guess we want to optimize the available CPU power as much as we can, but we're a bit afraid to accidentally overload systems, because something happens when we're not looking
[14:34] <OpenTokix> Xano: no, software called monit - its in the ubuntu repos
[14:34] <OpenTokix> Xano: Rabbitmq will not do that for you
[14:34] <OpenTokix> Xano: Dont worry about it
[14:34] <Xano> OpenTokix: Ah, will look for it
[14:35] <OpenTokix> Xano: how much traffic are you looking at?
[14:35] <OpenTokix> Xano: if its less then say 5k/sec per messagebroker, you have nothing to worry about at all
[14:35] <OpenTokix> Xano: it is not php
[14:35] <Xano> OpenTokix: I know RabbitMQ doesn't do any load balancing, simply because it doesn't do any worker stuff. It just pushes to registered workers and that's it.
[14:35] <Xano> OpenTokix: Also, our RabbitMQ server will run on a different machine
[14:36] <OpenTokix> Xano: yes, but it is very fast and lean - so just run it - configure your queues and let them be
[14:36] <somsip> Xano: are you cloud based?
[14:36] <OpenTokix> Xano: that is my suggestion for you
[14:36] <Xano> OpenTokix: The network trafficwon't be too much, I expect less than 5MB/s on average, but the analyses just take a lot of CPU time
[14:37] <OpenTokix> Xano: But the analyzing is done after the messagebroker, correct?
[14:37] <Xano> OpenTokix: Yeah. The broker (queue) pushes messages to the consumers on one of a handful of servers.
[14:38] <Xano> somsip: what *exactly* are you asking?
[14:38] <OpenTokix> Xano: I thgink your inital idea of starting and stopping workers - is bad design then
[14:38] <Xano> OpenTokix: So the issue of performance and balancing takes place within the scope of a single server running multiple consumers
[14:38] <somsip> Xano: I'm thinking load balancers and auto-scaling groups, but it depends on how you run your servers, and this is rather OT here so I'll just throw that one in the pot and leave it at that
[14:38] <Xano> OpenTokix: We may have a server that is capable of running 10 consumers, and one that can handle only 5 at a time
[14:39] <OpenTokix> Xano: yes, but base that on the specs of the machine - and not on the load - I assume every task is pretty similar, but it is many tasks.
[14:39] <Xano> somsip: We can never predict how much time it takes to process a single message *exactly*.
[14:39] <Xano> OpenTokix: Tasks are the same, but depending on the context it may take 3, 4, 5, 6 seconds per task.
[14:39] <OpenTokix> Xano: but will one task (realistically) be 10x another?
[14:40] <Xano> no
[14:40] <Xano> In practice I've never seen more than 2x
[14:40] <OpenTokix> Xano: I dont think you have to overengineer it then, 3 or 10s - no worries - if its 3 or 30 or 300, then you have to do it "better"
[14:40] <OpenTokix> Xano: Dont overengineer, is my educated suggestion
[14:40] <Xano> OpenTokix: That is usually sensible advice :)
[14:40] <OpenTokix> Xano: I designed a system that handled 3 billion web req/day
[14:41] <OpenTokix> Xano: ran for five years, 99.96% uptime =)
[14:41] <Xano> OpenTokix: I'm just really worried that we won't be using expensive VPSs to the fullest or that we'll overload them.
[14:41] <OpenTokix> Xano: still runnning, but I switched jobs =)
[14:41] <Xano> OpenTokix: nice :)
[14:41] <PCatinean> Can one setup a vpn on ubuntu even if the key was designed for windows? Sorry very bad with this
[14:41] <OpenTokix> Xano: Well, - I would get a propper metrics system - do some educated guesses - and then adjust machine size afterwards.
[14:41] <PCatinean> the admin asked me if I was on a 32bit windows or 64 bit windows, I said 64 but it's ubuntu, can I still connect?
[14:42] <OpenTokix> PCatinean: yes
[14:42] <OpenTokix> PCatinean: Is it openvpn?
[14:42] <PCatinean> ssl vpn OpenTokix
[14:42] <OpenTokix> Xano: Lets take it privatly maybe?
[14:42] <OpenTokix> PCatinean: yes, you just need to adjust the configuration file slightly
[14:42] <Xano> OpenTokix: Alright, we'll start with that then and see how it goes. It can hardly get any slower than the current setup :P
[14:43] <PCatinean> The configuration file he sent me, is it a lot of work?
[14:43] <Xano> (which is way too slow)
[14:43] <OpenTokix> Xano: probably not =)
[14:44] <OpenTokix> Xano: im here everyday - so if you need to throw around ideas, dont hestitate. Id love to give some input - I love that stuff =)
[14:44] <ioritz> helloo
[14:44] <OpenTokix> PCatinean: no, probably not
[14:45] <Xano> OpenTokix: Cool, thanks for your time!
[14:45] <Guest60067> Hello, guys! My brother accidentally removed all the kernels, so I booted through cdrom. What should I do now, how can I restore everything?
[14:46] <Guest60067> I tried this thread but I had some errors.
[14:46] <Guest60067> http://askubuntu.com/questions/28099/how-to-restore-a-system-after-accidentally-removing-all-kernels
[14:47] <warTurtle> http://askubuntu.com/questions/28099/how-to-restore-a-system-after-accidentally-removing-all-kernels
[14:47] <warTurtle> haha :D
[14:47] <Guest60067> WarTurtle: :D
[14:47] <O_OniGiri> Hi there, I have a problem with multiple users. I would like to give users the permission to install applications using sudo, however I do not want them to access each other's files. Please help me out.
[14:48] <O_OniGiri> Is it possible for ubuntu to do this?
[14:48] <Guest60067> mount: mount point /mnt/dev does not exist
[14:48] <Guest60067> this is my error
[14:48] <trijntje> O_OniGiri: look into the sudoers file, you can give users permission to run certain commands as sudo
[14:49] <trijntje> O_OniGiri: on the other hand, they could then make and install a fake .deb files that destroy the data of other users
[14:49] <O_OniGiri> trijntje: I will look into it, thanks :)
[14:49] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: how did your brother remove the kernel?
[14:49] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: via apt?
[14:49] <O_OniGiri> trijntje: But they can't access each others home folder?
[14:50] <trijntje> O_OniGiri: define 'access', all home folders are open for reading by all users by default
[14:50] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: if you copy the kernel file + initrd from the cdrom to your /boot/  folder on the system, then you can boot that kernel from the command line - and probably get into a console to install a working kernel
[14:50] <mike_papa> O_OniGiri: They will be able to do, what you let them. With sudoers you can decide what commands, and as which user they can do.
[14:51] <trijntje> O_OniGiri: it might be easier to just encrypt the home folders of all users. That way the cannot see each others files, and you can make them all admin. Just know that they will still be able to destroy each other's data if they want
[14:51] <mike_papa> O_OniGiri: You can even decide if using sudo requires password, or not, and in which cases it does, or does not.
[14:52] <Guest60067> OpenTokix: I think he did that manually
[14:52] <Guest60067> OpenTokix: can you please guide me through what I have to do? I'm kinda newbie to unix
[14:53] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: I dont know it by heart - so  it would be very error prone. - - Btw. - did you try booting your ubuntu cd and just select repair?
[14:55] <Guest60067> OpenTokix: I chose " Try Ubuntu "
[14:56] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: and if you start the installer, there is a repair option
[14:56] <OpenTokix> irrc
[14:56] <OpenTokix> iirc
[14:56] <Guest60067> OpenTokix: where?

[14:56] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: Check the "update failure"
 thank you mate, I'll check that
[14:57] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: and instead of apt-get upgrade, do apt-get install linux-image-generic
[14:57] <O_OniGiri> mike_papa: but with sudoers file, you can't stop them from accessing each others files right?
[14:58] <Guest60067> OpenTokix: but that's the same thing I'm doing through the terminal
[14:58] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: important you mount the correct partition, - I dont know what partition is your ubuntu root partition
[14:58] <Guest60067> I have sdb1 though
[14:58] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: yes, no problem - just change /dev/sda1 for /dev/sdb1
[14:58] <OpenTokix> Guest60067: what is the problem you're having?
[15:07] <cowo_jomblo> hello
[15:07] <cowo_jomblo> can i ask something  ?
[15:08] <freeroute> cowo_jomblo: you just did. Too bad.
[15:08] <freeroute> no more questions for you.
[15:08] <freeroute> but really...
[15:08] <freeroute> !ask
[15:11] <tnkhanh> !patience
[15:12] <tnkhanh> cool
[15:13] <cowo_jomblo> hehe oke thanks
[15:14] <cowo_jomblo> sorry i dont now
[15:23] <PCatinean> I thought openvpn might have had a graphical interface
[15:24] <OpenTokix> PCatinean: there is a graphical frontend for openvpn in ubuntu network-manager-openvpn
[15:24] <PCatinean> Thank you!
[15:25] <OpenTokix> PCatinean: if you do apt-cache search openvpn; there is a few to choose from
[15:25] <killall> hello i have a multiline line generated by the output of a program, how can I with awk get only 2 lines ?
[15:26] <OpenTokix> killall: does it have to be awk?
[15:26] <killall> OpenTokix,  no :)
[15:26] <OpenTokix> killall: head -2
[15:26] <OpenTokix> or tail -2
[15:26] <OpenTokix> depending if you want start or finish
[15:26] <killall> they are not the first or the last 2
[15:27] <killall> they can be in the midle or in the begining and one starts with RSSI and the other with bdaddr
[15:27] <OpenTokix> killall: do you know what line it is, you can first do a tail and then pipe to a head
[15:27] <OpenTokix> killall: oh
[15:28] <OpenTokix> killall: | grep -E '(RSSI|bdaddr)'
[15:28] <killall> OpenTokix,  http://paste.virtual2.net/?paste=36 this is the line generated by the program
[15:28] <killall> OpenTokix,  thanks
[15:28] <OpenTokix> killall: yw
[15:29] <sureshscribnar> I was wondering how we set PATH environmient variable permanantly in Ubuntu based docker container?
[15:29] <sureshscribnar> I tried setting it in ~/.profile and /etc/profile…. both did nto work
[15:30] <sureshscribnar> The line added was PATH = $PATH:/required/path/bin and next line had export PATH
[15:31] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: its in ~/.bashrc or /etc/enviroment
[15:31] <sureshscribnar> is it only for docker or host linux also?
[15:32] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: for any ubuntu-machine
[15:32] <sureshscribnar> ok thanks, why do they refer other two files then?
[15:32] <sureshscribnar> I mean, under what circumstances ~/.profile and /etc/profile is updated with PATH?
[15:32] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: "they"?
[15:32] <sureshscribnar> Thanks for the answer
[15:32] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: docker docs?
[15:33] <sureshscribnar> Sorry for being vague, its the answer mostly given in internet forums like stackoverflow
[15:33] <sureshscribnar> not docker
[15:33] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: probably because all the n00bs on stack overflow hardly even know how their point and click macs work - even less their docker containers
[15:33] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: but go2docker was so simple! - im a unix admin now!
[15:33] <sureshscribnar> lol
[15:34] <sureshscribnar> thanks for the answer
[15:34] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: dont forget you also can attach a persistent storage to your docker containers
[15:34] <sureshscribnar> yeah using -v… thats working
[15:34] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: that is mounted under /docker inside the container
[15:34] <sureshscribnar> you mean, adding volumes right?
[15:35] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: yeah
[15:35] <sureshscribnar> yes
[15:35] <killall> OpenTokix,  one last question, any way i can put the result of  sudo hcidump -x -t |  grep -E '(RSSI|bdaddr)'  into a single line? (the hcidump is always outputing a multiline string
[15:35] <OpenTokix> killall: tr "\n" " " or tr "\n" ";" if you want some kind of divider
[15:35] <OpenTokix> you pipe via tr
[15:36] <killall> OpenTokix,  no output
[15:36] <killall>  sudo hcidump -x -t |  grep -E '(RSSI|bdaddr)' | tr "\n" ";"
[15:36] <killall> .
[15:36] <killall> .
[15:37] <OpenTokix> and wiithout tr you get output?
[15:37] <OpenTokix> two lines?
[15:37] <killall> OpenTokix,  yes
[15:37] <sureshscribnar> OpenTokix: Whats the diff between updating ~/.bashrc and /etc/enviroment?
[15:37] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: ~/.bashrc is for yoru user, /etc/enviroment global
[15:38] <sureshscribnar> ok thanks
[15:38] <mmmaske> test
[15:38] <OpenTokix> killall: hmm, it should work
[15:38] <killall> the hcidump is always outputing its a stream of data comming to stdout
[15:39] <sureshscribnar> Where can I find a good documentation for linux thats concise?
[15:39] <sureshscribnar> I use ubuntu
[15:39] <killall> it outputs a string as i posted before
[15:40] <OpenTokix> killall: I dont have any bluetooth-enabled linux-box so I can try
[15:40] <OpenTokix> killall: might be so your command output some other newline
[15:40] <genii> sureshscribnar: The best general place to start is The Linux Documentation Project which is good for all linux. Then move on to distribution specific documentation
[15:40] <sureshscribnar> ok tx
[15:41] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: and when you go to stack exachange, read all the answers, and comments to 1-2 top comments. - since they tend to be dumb or wrong, even if they are upvoted.
[15:41] <sureshscribnar> ok tx

[15:42] <killall> OpenTokix,  can i do the processing with awk? i have a multiline and awk seems able to extract thoose 2 lines
[15:43] <OpenTokix> killall: yes, ofc
[15:43] <killall> OpenTokix,  can you teach me?
[15:43] <OpenTokix> killall: awk is very powerful, - But I suck at it =)
[15:43] <killall>  hoo thanks :D
[15:43] <OpenTokix> killall: I use grep | cut | tr
[15:44] <sureshscribnar> OpenTokix: which linux do you administer?
[15:44] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: debian and ubuntu and some centos
[15:44] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: I perfer debian
[15:44] <OpenTokix> prefer
[15:44] <sureshscribnar> ok and u said now u are unix admin… which unix?
[15:44] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: have done irix, solaris in the past
[15:45] <White_Cat> after a reboot I am greeted by grub prompt
[15:45] <sureshscribnar> oh k, tx.
[15:45] <White_Cat> I honestly dont know what to do :/
[15:45] <kamil7> hi guys, i have a problem with fullscreen on wrong monitor, any info about that?
[15:47] <sureshscribnar> OpenTokix: purden my ignorance. Should I use export PATH? or just setting PATH = $PATH:/new/path/bin is enough?
[15:47] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: in .bashrc export PATH in enviroment PATH=
[15:48] <sureshscribnar> ok tx
[15:52] <ivan_> h4x
[15:53] <sureshscribnar> OpenTokix: added line “export PATH = $PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin” to ~/.bashrc and restarted container… still no luck
[15:54] <OpenTokix> is the line still there?
[15:54] <sureshscribnar> yes
[15:54] <OpenTokix> and if you do echo $PATH its there?
[15:54] <razo> hi guys
[15:54] <ppf> sureshscribnar: did you source .bashrc again? or did you start a new bash?
[15:54] <sureshscribnar> OpenTokix: no
[15:55] <sureshscribnar> ppf: no, what do you mean source .bashrc?
[15:55] <sureshscribnar> I stop and started the container
[15:55] <razo> i stuck at backbox
[15:55] <sureshscribnar> is it not enough?
[15:55] <ppf> well, "source ~/.bashrc"
[15:55] <sureshscribnar> what does this command do?
[15:55] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: how do you login to the cointainer?
[15:55] <ppf> you need to reload the file for the changes to take effect
[15:55] <razo> can any one explain me how to unhide wifi icon in backbox
[15:55] <SchrodingersScat> !man | sureshscribnar
[15:56] <sureshscribnar> I’m aware, was being bit lazy bones, sorry
[15:56] <ppf> SchrodingersScat: source is a builtin, so no man page :)
[15:56] <ppf> "help source" on the other hand should do it
[15:56] <SchrodingersScat> sureshscribnar: ok, it's just always good to check into a command when you have a question like that.
[15:57] <sureshscribnar> I agree
[15:57] <OpenTokix> ppf, SchrodingersScat: you didnt really understand his/her problem =)
[15:57] <SchrodingersScat> ppf: it's in bash
[15:57] <sureshscribnar> OpenTokix: I get error when I source bashrc… error is given below.
[15:57] <sureshscribnar> bash: export: `=': not a valid identifier
[15:57] <sureshscribnar> bash: export: `/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:~/.composer/vendor/bin': not a valid identifier
[15:58] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: export PATH=$PATH:~/.foo/bar/folder
[15:58] <sureshscribnar> The error was fixed after removing the spaces
[15:58] <OpenTokix> sureshscribnar: not [space]=[space]
[15:58] <sureshscribnar> Increasingly feeling stupid now
[15:59] <jimini> hey there :) a want to install Ubuntu on a Lenovo Ideapad S205. since this notebook seems to have a very crappy EFI implementation, the system does not boot after the installation process has completed. I followed numerous guides like http://askubuntu.com/questions/554583/unable-to-upgrade-or-fresh-install-lubuntu-14-10-32bit-on-lenovo-ideapad-s205, but the boot manager simply does not show up. any ideas?
[16:02] <welovfree> hello
[16:02] <sureshscribnar> I am guilty to use point and click Colloquy myself… had been planning to move over to some other irc with more power… which one do you suggest?
[16:02] <welovfree> I am looking for a dns command?
[16:02] <sureshscribnar> What is the irc client env you use?
[16:02] <ppf> sureshscribnar: irssi
[16:03] <ppf> welovfree: what kind of dns command?
[16:03] <welovfree> ppf: what do you mean?
[16:04] <ppf> what is the functionality that you are looking for?
[16:04] <ppf> look up names?
[16:04] <welovfree> ppf: a command to print for example some informations about it?
[16:04] <sureshscribnar> ok
[16:04] <ppf> about what?
[16:04] <welovfree> ppf: yes names for example
[16:04] <ppf> there is nslookup to look up an ipaddress
[16:05] <ppf> and you can use dig to query some more advanced records
[16:10] <PCatinean> Does anyone have experience connecting to vmware server using ubuntu?

[16:10] <ioria> jimini  https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Working-solution-for-Ideapad-S205-Ubuntu/td-p/751917
[16:11] <marianne> good morning - has anyone out there had success with loading ubuntu 14.04 on a SAMSUNG XE303C12-A01US?
[16:11] <jimini> ioria I already tried that - I partitioned the drive as shown in this thread and installed Ubuntu afterwards - it did not boot
[16:14] <ioria> jimini  can you select  legacy bios?
[16:14] <jimini> ioria no, but for a very short time before the grub menu should appear, the display shows "booting in insecure mode". which seems to me like EFI mode
[16:16] <ioria> jimini  quote -> "The IdeaPad uses a BIOS based on the SecureCore Tiano Platform"
[16:16] <jimini> ioria yes
[16:17] <ioria>  It supports UEFI and Legacy booting
[16:17] <rdfile> PCatinean: I do have some experience
[16:17] <PCatinean> rdfile, is there any other option except virtual machine with windows?
[16:17] <ioria> jimini  quote -> "From what I found out it depends wether the disk is partitioned as GPT or MBR."
[16:17] <PCatinean> it's a esxi vmware rdfile
[16:21] <rdfile> PCatinean: Theres the web client and the CLI as well. I usually just create a small vm on the ESXi servers and RDP to it for management.
[16:24] <PCatinean> rdfile, noted, thank you!
[16:24] <PCatinean> a lot!
[16:24] <PCatinean> :D
[16:24] <jimini> ioria thank you for your hints. I wiped out the GPT partition scheme with gdisk and will now try again to install Ubuntu
[16:24] <pdimitrov> how can I disable landscape on my ubuntu server
[16:24] <pdimitrov> without uninstalling it
[16:25] <rdfile> PCatinean: np
[16:25] <wlodpolm> apt-get purge landscape 'is my best guess without looking the answer up
[16:26] <pdimitrov> wlodpolm: yeah but I want to avoid uninstalling it
[16:27] <pdimitrov> what might be an option is removing 50-landscape-sysinfo from /etc/update-motd.d
[16:27] <wlodpolm> then you'd need to modify the startup scripts which is a moving target...

[16:48] <TMess_> Same ques as Bynarie's :::::: anyone know where repopick is in the repos?
[16:49] <genii> adrian_1908: Try with --force-depends

[16:51] <shudon> hi all :) i have just installed updates that became available in the last 12 hours on ubuntu 14.04. my mouse cursor now only redraws about 8 times a second, if i have any ability to tell by eyeball :(
[16:51] <shudon> video performance overall does not seem affected, only mouse cursor!
[16:51] <eightyeight> what is the appropriate channel for mirrors support? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirrors.xmission.com-archive is listing our mirror as out of date, but near as i can tell, it's not
[16:53] <adrian_1908> Through Google I just found this: (https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/ubuntu/canon-trunk/+build/6123340) The version is much never than the driver from the Canon website and it's built for Utopic. Probably a better choice, right?

[16:53] <ianp> I am confused about wubi. I downloaded an iso and run wubi from a virtually mounted iso, and i don't have the option to install, only to "reboot".. do I need to copy wubi.exe outside of the mounted iso ?
[16:54] <ianp> I am installing from within windows 7
[16:54] <ianp> i want to dual boot
[16:54] <bazhang> ianp, skip wubi
[16:54] <ianp> I don't have a blank CD or USB drive
[16:54] <bazhang> ianp, wubi is NOT a dual boot
[16:54] <ianp> Ah.
[16:54] <bazhang> adrian_1908, thats a PPA
[16:54] <teward> adrian_1908: that's a PPA - not really supported here
[16:54] <ianp> then do i need some installation media to be able to install ?
[16:54] <teward> !ppa | adrian_1908
[16:55] <ianp> I thought i used wubi to do this before...
[16:55] <bazhang> ianp, even running ubuntu in a virtualbox is better than wubi
[16:55] <k1l_> ianp: wubi did install inside a container on the windows partition. that was not a native install and had several disadvantages. so a native install is to be prefered
[16:55] <ianp> i see
[16:55] <adrian_1908> Ok, i'll risk it. Thanks for the info.
[16:55] <mike_papa> ianp: if you don't need fast 3d, just run it under VMPlayer, or VirtualBox.
[16:55] <Weimar1919> ianp,  you could try dual booting or booting off a live usb too
[16:55] <ianp> I need fast cpu for running a server application (for java development), i dont need fast gfx at all.
[16:56] <ianp> is virtualbox
[16:56] <ianp> 'fast enough'
[16:56] <TMess_> guys...if I may... anyone know where repopick is in the repos?
[16:56] <krux> shudon: have you tried taking the dongle off the box and putting it back in ?..
[16:56] <bynarie> teward, been using znc from your ppa.. working really well.. i appreciate your work
[16:56] <k1l_> ianp: well, a lot of cpu is used for running windows.
[16:56] <ianp> even while idling?
[16:56] <mike_papa> ianp: then VMPlayer, or VirtualBox is way to go. Just make sure you have virtualization enabled in BIOS.
[16:56] <teward> bynarie: thank you
[16:56] <ianp> I'm fine with it taking 10% of CPU even
[16:56] <teward> bynarie: that's a discussion for another channel though
[16:56] <ianp> k. thanks for the help guys
[16:57] <k1l_> ianp: but if you use wubi the install on ntfs base will "rob" performance, too. so i suggest you get something as install media and make a real install on own partitions
[16:57] <ianp> Yea, that's really the 'right' way.
[16:57] <ianp> I just got fed up with trying to deal with windows from other real OS's (my main desktop is mac) and said 'f it im installing linux'
[16:57] <bynarie> teward, yea i understand
[16:58] <OerHeks> TMess_, repopick ?
