[11:23] <perriman> hi all
[11:24] <perriman> How must I migrate an application to use the new message indicator?
[11:24] <perriman> I'm using Indicate with gir
[11:25] <perriman> There are any application using it in python to see the code?
[11:37] <JanC> perriman: I think probably Gwibber uses it?
[11:38] <perriman> Gwibber is python?
[11:38] <JanC> yes
[11:39] <perriman> nice, thanks JanC, I'll take a look
[11:39] <JanC> (at least on this system which is still on Ubuntu 12.04, but I don't think they completely re-wrote it)
[11:42] <JanC> you could also try searching with e.g. Synaptic or apt-cache for other apps that depend on the packages that are needed to use it (depending on python & the gir package for the message indicator lib would probably do)
[11:48] <perriman> thanks again JanC


[15:16] <jch2os> I'm having an issue with 14.04 LTS on my firewall and passive ftp not working.  In 12.04 I just needed to modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp and ip_nat_ftp.  In 14.04 it seems to use nf_nat_ftp and nf_conntrack_ftp.  They are loaded, but passive ftp doesn't work.  Any ideas?
[15:16] <Guest52939> I have been using ubuntu for 3 years now, I like it but would like to try something new, any ideas?
[15:17] <cobradabest> Linux Mint is really good, although it causes kernel panics with some GFX cards.
[15:17] <k1l_> Guest52939: try some other flavors like kubuntu, lubuntu, ubuntu mate,... (since you ask in #ubuntu)
[15:17] <plytro> Guest52939: Gentoo
[15:17] <cobradabest> Does anyone know how to get Android studio working on Ubuntu 15.04? It won't run at all for me...
[15:17] <jch2os> ugh gentoo
[15:18] <plytro> sorry, how about http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
[15:18] <jch2os> that is a jump from ubuntu to linuxfromscratch
[15:18] <freezer> how about crkacwh0te.com
[15:18] <k1l_> !ot | plytro cobradabest Guest52939
[15:19] <jch2os> mint linux could be an easy jump
[15:19] <pbx> what k1l_ said
[15:19] <plytro> k1l_: I was responding to a question
[15:19] <freezer> sorry :p
[15:19] <plytro> in a sarcastic/slightly humorous manner
[15:19] <plytro> sorry if that was lost on you
[15:19] <Pici> Feel free tod iscuss other distros in ##linux
[15:20] <plytro> oh wait, shit I'm off topic again, talking about feelings
[15:20] <Guest52939> ufw should be all i need to be secure on a school network?
[15:21]  * plytro puts on the serious about ubuntu support hat
[15:22] <BTJustice> Is there a way to place shortcuts on the desktop to websites and the images the shortcuts use are the websites' favicons?
[15:26] <OerHeks> BTJustice, with unity tweak you can enable that, icons on desktop, and you can make custom launchers, and put your own icon in it, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
[15:27] <asarch> Thank you OerHeks, k1l_
[15:27] <asarch> Thank you very much :-)
[15:27] <OerHeks> BTJustice, Exec=xdg-open [URL HERE]
[15:27] <BTJustice> Cool.  Thank you.
[15:32] <BTJustice> Hmmm.  I'm overlooking something...

[15:34] <zerowaitstate> does anyone know how to get X to work on a MacBook?
[15:34] <BTJustice> http://pastebin.com/GHRGTERt
[15:34] <FiremanEd> Clearing the commands in terminal is history -(what letter)?
[15:34] <daftykins> zerowaitstate: X? as in you've installed ubuntu... but?
[15:35] <alexander_> есть русские
[15:35] <daftykins> zerowaitstate: outline what you've actually done, please.
[15:35] <daftykins> !ru
[15:35] <BTJustice> FiremanEd: I just delete '.bash_history' file in my home directory.
[15:36] <FiremanEd> ok, thanks, much apprecitated
[15:36] <BTJustice> np
[15:36] <zerowaitstate> I have a MacBook that I am dualbooting in Lubuntu. Everything is fine until X loads (for the user login screen). I get a blank screen when X comes up. Switching into a text vty (via ctrl-alt-f1) and looking at the X log says that it can't find module fglrx, which I guess means the Radeon drivers weren't installed
[15:37] <daftykins> zerowaitstate: no that's normal as fglrx won't be installed as standard, which model mac is this? do you still have OS X on?
[15:38] <zerowaitstate> daftykins: 2011 MacBook Pro.  Yes, it still as El Capitan on it. Chainloading GRUB from REFInd
[15:39] <daftykins> zerowaitstate: ok, can you boot to a terminal and install 'pastebinit' then share "lspci | pastebinit" than "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" ?
[15:40] <OerHeks> BTJustice, the icon must be on your machine, described in the tutorial, and 'URL=https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr" is not needed ( i haven't seen that anywhere)
[15:40] <zamba> i need to mount an usb disk completely read only in ubuntu.. no data or anything should be written to it.. how can i do that?
[15:41] <zamba> in other words.. the disk shouldn't be auto mounted
[15:42] <daftykins> zamba: once, or every boot?
[15:42] <zerowaitstate> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12773779/
[15:43] <zamba> daftykins: just once
[15:43] <daftykins> zerowaitstate: this is not what i asked for
[15:43] <BTJustice> OerHeks:  Damn.  I was hoping it could pull remote images assuming Internet is available.
[15:43] <zerowaitstate> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12773786/
[15:44] <daftykins> zamba: so identify the file system, device name and partition number with "sudo parted -l" then you can run "sudo mount -t <file system> /dev/sdx# /mnt -o ro,uid=1000,gid=1000
[15:44] <zamba> daftykins: first and foremost i want to prevent ubuntu from automounting it
[15:45] <zerowaitstate> daftykins: Xorg log http://paste.ubuntu.com/12773806/
[15:46] <daftykins> zamba: no ideas on that one, you can unmount it in nautilus if you use full ubuntu
[15:46] <daftykins> then follow my above command
[15:46] <daftykins> zerowaitstate: ok so it's a system with both intel + AMD hybrid graphics
[15:46] <zamba> daftykins: i guess it's too late then.. but ok.. thanks :)
[15:46] <daftykins> zerowaitstate: dpkg -l | grep fglrx | pastebinit
[15:47] <zerowaitstate> daftykins: there's nothing there
[15:47] <daftykins> good stuff, that's what we needed to know
[15:47] <daftykins> !hybrid
[15:47] <daftykins> ugh
[15:49] <EriC^^> !optimus
[15:50] <daftykins> wow that's an old factoid :) but nah, intel+AMD hybrid today :D
[15:50] <daftykins> zerowaitstate: ok, i think you need to install the latest fglrx you can get your hands on
[15:50] <EriC^^> :D
[15:50] <zerowaitstate> daftykins: how do you do that from command line?  Is it in the base repo's, or do I need to enable another repository?
[15:51] <daftykins> you can try "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates"
[15:51] <daftykins> i don't know how OS X handles those switchable graphics setups though, whether it has you pick between - whether there's a button on top...
[15:55] <sppp> hey
[15:55] <sppp> has anyone here used ufw with ipsets ?
[15:58] <daftykins> sppp: that's a more relevant a query for #ubuntu-server and ##networking i would say
[15:58] <daftykins> -a
[15:58] <someguestname> Are there known problems with the repos? I'm on 14.10 and I 404 not found on everything when I apt-get update. Switched from local server to main, no difference.
[15:59] <EriC^^> someguestname: 14.10 is eol now
[15:59] <EriC^^> !eolupgrades | someguestname
[15:59] <genii> !eol
[15:59] <someguestname> Right, but the old stuff should remain, right?
[15:59] <daftykins> someguestname: no
[15:59] <genii> someguestname: They archive EOL repos
[15:59] <k1l_> someguestname: update to 15.04 asap. you dont get any security updates anymore
[16:00] <someguestname> I don't care about security updates. I just wanted to install a text editor. But all right. Thanks all.
[16:00] <k1l_> someguestname: if you dont want to upgrade every 6 months stay on 14.04 LTS.
[16:00] <daftykins> someguestname: that's not a very wise way to use any kind of computer you use online.
[16:01] <daftykins> don't buy anything whilst online with that :)
[16:01] <Guest23621> Hey guys, I disabled open source drivers to test proprietary AMD drivers, goofed up... now it says that xorg can't start (Seg faul at address 0x0) and the logs say that it can't load module fglrx
[16:02] <Katielyn> The best Internet security is just to remove the Internet.
[16:02] <EriC^^> someguestname: is it an offline pc, or testing thing or something? you can still use the repos but you should upgrade if you can and use it online
[16:02] <daftykins> Guest23621: sounds like they didn't install
[16:02] <EriC^^> Guest23621: did you install the amd drivers?
[16:03] <Guest23621> I"m reinstalling fglrx now
[16:03] <daftykins> Katielyn: still not safe due to flash drives
[16:03] <Guest23621> If I start fglrx it just goe to a black screen, with nothing
[16:03] <Guest23621> I have to hard reset
[16:03] <Guest23621> I want to just roll back to open source drivers and remove fglrx completely, how can I do that
[16:03] <someguestname> EriC^^, it's this PC, so it's online. I do use both a ginormous hosts file and adblock to prevent bad stuff, so I'll probably be OK.
[16:03] <Katielyn> Of course its not daftykins.
[16:03] <EriC^^> Guest23621: you can use ctrl+alt+del to reboot if you get a black screen fwiw
[16:03] <k1l_> someguestname: no you are not
[16:04] <Guest23621> EriC^^, ha that works
[16:04] <zerowaitstate> daftykins: X is now not starting at all. I found that there is an exception when fglrx driver loads. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12773856/
[16:04] <k1l_> someguestname: you dont have a clue at all. you dont get updates for ssl, ssh, kernels etc etc etc. so you have a big security issue running there.
[16:04] <someguestname> EriC^^, so I should be able to use the repos after all you say?
[16:04] <zerowaitstate> daftykins: first error is "Failed to obtain VBIOS from kernel"
[16:04] <daftykins> Guest23621: sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
[16:05] <someguestname> I absolutely know that I should upgrade, and I'll do that at some point when I have time. It's just such a huge ordeal, and something always goes wrong. I dread doing it.
[16:05] <Guest23621> How do I install the open source drivers again
[16:05] <EriC^^> someguestname: if it's an online pc i wouldn't recommend it, why don't you update? should be smooth and you can always back up any data if it doesn't work out so well
[16:05] <daftykins> Guest23621: just run as i said, you don't need to add - only take away
[16:05] <Katielyn> I did some things, http://i.prntscr.com/8b50c3e1cb894a21a9a36d451ba3af41.png.
[16:05] <k1l_> someguestname: then install and stay on LTS releases in the first place.
[16:05] <zerowaitstate> someguestname: get a copy of clonezilla, take a backup image of your disk, then do your upgrade. If it fails restore your old disk image
[16:06] <Guest23621> daftykins, yeah just ran that, now startx says "no screens found"
[16:06] <EriC^^> or just tar czvf your root filesystem if you don't have the space for a cloned disk image
[16:06] <daftykins> Katielyn: that's nice but this channel is for support only
[16:06] <daftykins> Guest23621: you restarted? don't ever use startx.
[16:06] <Guest23621> it actully says Module Failed to load module "fglrx" (does not exist)
[16:06] <imv> Hi, I was trying to install Ubuntu MATE on a fresh box from a USB drive, drive accidentaly got removed while in demo mode, and now it shows 28GB (instead of 32) and I can't boot anything off of it anymore. Any ideas?
[16:06] <someguestname> k1l_, I'd still be on 14.04 if it hadn't broken and forced an update. But now 14.10 it all kinds of broken too, so that's why I'll definitely update soonish. Don't worry.
[16:06] <Guest23621> what do you use instead of startx
[16:06] <daftykins> Guest23621: depends on version
[16:07] <Guest23621> latest 15.xx
[16:07] <daftykins> that is not a clear answer, sorry
[16:07] <Guest23621> i just rebooted I'll cat os-release
[16:07] <Guest23621> one sec
[16:08] <Guest23621> daftykins, 15.04
[16:08] <lapinozz> Hello, is there a way to make file-roller report error in console rather then messageBox?
[16:09] <EriC^^> Guest23621: the xorg log says 14.04
[16:09] <Demon_Jester> Hey guys, quick question. Is there command where I can see what the router IP is? (or would it be called gateway IP?)
[16:09] <EriC^^> Demon_Jester: ip route
[16:09] <Guest23621> EriC^^, what
[16:10] <EriC^^> Guest23621: the log you pasted earlier says 14.04 trusty
[16:10] <EriC^^> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12773856/
[16:10] <Guest23621> EriC^^, I didn't paste a log
[16:10] <EriC^^> ok, my bad
[16:10] <Guest23621> np h
[16:13] <Guest23621> so lightdm seems to be the way to start the GUI
[16:13] <Guest23621> lightdm still wont start it
[16:13] <Guest23621> It seems like even w/ fglrx removed it's trying to use fglrx
[16:15] <lapinozz> Hello, is there a way to make file-roller report error in console rather then messageBox?
[16:15] <k1l_> lapinozz: start it from a terminal
[16:16] <lapinozz> still do the same
[16:20] <someguestname> EriC^^, Thanks, I got enough clues to figure it out.
[16:26] <lapinozz> Hello, is there a way to make file-roller report error in console rather then messageBox?
[16:43] <anshuman_> ..
[16:47] <topi`> does anybody know if there are backports of modemmanager-1.4.0 or newer for Trusty?
[16:48] <topi`> Trusty has modemmanager-1.0.0 and I tried to apply a patch I found on the 'net to get my Huawei working, but the patch fails
[16:48] <topi`> so most probably it's for a newer MM
[16:48] <topi`> huawei/mm-plugin-huawei.c:279:5: error: passing argument 1 of 'mm_device_get_product' from incompatible pointer type
[16:48] <OerHeks> topi`, no, you might want to build it yourself
[16:49] <topi`> is there an easy way to grab the source from, say, ubuntu 15.04?
[16:49] <OerHeks> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager
[16:49] <OerHeks> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/1.4.0-1
[16:51] <topi`> ok thanks
[16:53] <topi`> there are 3 files to download, a .dsc, the .orig.tgz and a .debian.tgz ... is there a way to unpack all these in a simple way?
[16:53] <OerHeks> topi`, else modemmanager 1.4.4 http://www.ubuntumaniac.com/2015/02/modemmanager-144-is-out-this-open.html
[16:54] <OerHeks> you will find libmm-glib and api here too http://www.freedesktop.org/software/ModemManager/
[16:54] <topi`> right
[16:54] <lapinozz> Hello, is there a way to make file-roller report error in console rather then messageBox?
[16:54] <OerHeks>  am not that good in building, maybe someone else here can help you out.
[16:56] <OerHeks> lapinozz, maybe if you start fileroller from terminal, i cannot find an other way.
[16:57] <lapinozz> OerHeks: that's what im doing, no sucess, thx anyway
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> lapinozz  i guess you'd have to modify the file roller's source code
[17:02] <topi`> OK, trying to compile stuff from Vivid on Trusty is a futile exercise: dh: unable to load addon systemd: Can't locate Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/systemd.pm
[17:02] <topi`> unless I can find a package for that in trusty...
[17:02] <OerHeks> oh, vivid is on systemD indeed ..
[17:03] <OerHeks> big change.
[17:03] <topi`> yeah, makes complications like this
[17:04] <ioria> lapinozz, you can try with strace but the output it's not so clear
[17:04] <OerHeks> You might want to install vivid then, upgrade will be a pain, as 14.10 is EOL.
[17:07] <daftykins> topi`: compiling to begin with is outside the support scope though
[17:08] <lapinozz> ioria: thx
[17:09] <ioria> lapinozz, you're welcome

[18:05] <tux38> Ubuntu isnt pure linux that ship has sailed.
[18:05] <MonkeyDust> tux38  wrong channel, stick to support questions
[18:05] <Paolas> but how to good install on webcam for skype ?
[18:05] <julian-d_> tux38: please stop.
[18:06] <tux38> Its appears to still be open source at least.
[18:07] <julian-d_> tux38: please only talk about support in here, if you want to troll do it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:07] <tux38> Ubunti isnt linux any more
[18:07] <OerHeks> julian-d_, no, in ##troll :-D
[18:07] <MonkeyDust> julian-d_  ignore her
[18:08] <tux38> Im not trolling.
[18:08] <Myrtti> tux38: but you've been asked to stop
[18:11] <tux38> Hi
[18:11] <Paolas> tellme know please
[18:11] <Paolas> how to insall on webcam on Laptop 15-g202ng  ?
[18:11] <tux38> Hi
[18:12] <baizon> Paolas: it will be detected automatically, no need to install drivers
[18:12] <Paolas> ok
[18:13] <Paolas> oder install AMD A8  for ghrapics ?
[18:14] <tux38> Hi
[18:15] <baizon> Paolas: you can install the catalyst drivers if you have trouble with your graphics drivers
[18:15] <Paolas> ok
[18:16] <tux38> Or cant you just run generic video ?
[18:16] <Paolas> so i can delete all on windows 7 and new install only ubuntu if is good _
[18:16] <Paolas> ?
[18:17] <tux38> I just run what ever it auto configs
[18:17] <blib> is there an alternative to bluez available for dealing with bluetooth devices?
[18:17] <tux38> For the gpu
[18:17] <baizon> Paolas: i would recommend to backup your data first
[18:18] <tux38> You have actually have bluetooth hardware 1st.
[18:19] <Paolas> but how to make install usb or android on the phone or tablet ?
[18:19] <tux38> Thats a must
[18:20] <tux38> Dont know
[18:20] <OerHeks> tux38, stop the useless comments.
[18:20] <tux38> Is android already instaled ?
[18:20] <tux38> Chill bro
[18:21] <Voyage> I have z97 board and ubuntu LTS. It seems that the wifi is not recognized. What do I need to do here?
[18:21] <tux38> Its no longer linux
[18:21] <MonkeyDust> blib  blueman maybe
[18:21] <alekzanther_> Voyage, which model?
[18:21] <Paolas> wont open usb on the phone
[18:22] <alekzanther_> Voyage, nvm z97 builtin i guess
[18:22] <tux38> Odd
[18:22] <baizon> Voyage: first check for errors
[18:23] <tux38> Maye theres an online guide for this install ?
[18:23] <OerHeks> voyage, open the buildin driver tool, search for driver in dash.
[18:23] <syntroPi> MonkeyDust, hmm that seems to be to be * -> epub rather than epub -> pdf
[18:24] <Voyage> alekzanther_, z97 k
[18:25] <Voyage> OerHeks,  let me find the driver tool
[18:25] <tux38> Oh yeah petter
[18:25] <Voyage> baizon,  no errors
[18:25] <philm88> Hey all. I'm putting together a process to back up a bunch of ubuntu servers. It looks like ubuntu creates a 'backup' user automatically and its home dir has some files in it, presumably generated by some script. Is it expected to modify the backup user so it can be logged in as & perform additional tasks required to backup (eg, dump a mysql DB) - or - is it expected to create another user soley for my specific backup process?
[18:25] <tux38> Sounds like building from source peter griffin.
[18:26] <syntroPi> philm88, dont know an answer to your question, but for server backups i always used duplicity
[18:27] <daftykins> philm88: i've never seen that user.
[18:27] <OerHeks> !ops | tux38
[18:27] <tux38> What ?
[18:27] <baizon> thank you OerHeks
[18:27] <OerHeks> you were asked to stop, tux38 , go troll elsewhere
[18:27] <Voyage> OerHeks,  the built in driver tool in kubuntu shows only nvidio graphiccard drivers
[18:28] <daftykins> *nvidia
[18:28] <tux38> Easy troll
[18:28] <OerHeks> voyage oke, then next step: open terminal: lspci # and see what line is your webcam
[18:28] <baizon> Voyage: but any wifi relasted info from logs?
[18:28] <philm88> daftykins: Yeah, I only noticed it because I tried to add a user called 'backup' and it told me it already existed :\
[18:29] <Voyage> baizon,  OerHeks  no wifi
[18:29] <Voyage> baizon,  ^
[18:29] <philm88> syntroPi: Thanks for the info, I'll take a look into that
[18:29] <maexrakete> Hey guys, for some reason I have two filemanager installed. One of them (the one i want to get rid of anyways) is not working properly. How can I find out which one is which and get rid of it?
[18:29] <maexrakete> Thanks for your help :)
[18:30] <syntroPi> philm88, its kind of a smartass rsync combined with gpg for incremental backups to various backends
[18:30] <OerHeks> Voyage, post the output on paste.ubuntu.com ,it might have a different name
[18:30] <SilentWalk7> Hello all. I am experiencing an error. I changed my graphics driver (From additional software) and now when I start the computer, I can only see a black screen and inside it is the terminal
[18:30] <Voyage> $ sudo lspci -v | grep -i net
[18:30] <Voyage> 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 11)
[18:30] <mirek> hej
[18:30] <Paolas> thnx all
[18:30] <OerHeks> Voyage, that is wired lan
[18:30] <Voyage> OerHeks,  how do I see wireless?
[18:31] <OerHeks> Voyage, post the output, let us look
[18:31] <Voyage> OerHeks,  output of what???
[18:31] <SilentWalk7> Is it possible to change back to the open source driver, through the terminal?
[18:31] <syntroPi> SilentWalk7, you might want to log into that terminal and take a look at the output of command "dmesg" to get further informations
[18:32] <SilentWalk7> I did dmesg, gave me a lot of text, which I do not understand much of. Anything in particular I am looking for?
[18:32] <OerHeks> Voyage, read back
[18:33] <Voyage> OerHeks,  I said there is "no" output of the commands you advised
[18:33] <syntroPi> SilentWalk7, also you might want to take a look at "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" for more info
[18:33] <OerHeks> Voyage, really? you posted one line, sure there are more
[18:34] <syntroPi> SilentWalk7, there you can look for "EE" e.g. "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[18:34] <syntroPi> that means errors
[18:34] <Voyage> OerHeks,  http://pastie.org/10479315
[18:35] <SilentWalk7> Ok, I did that, I see couple of EE covered in purple
[18:35] <OerHeks> Voyage, indeed no wifi device, maybe it is disabled with a hardware button
[18:36] <baizon> Voyage: are you sure its not disabled (BIOS)?
[18:36] <SilentWalk7> gives dev/dri/card0 not such file or directory
[18:36] <SilentWalk7> that's one of them
[18:36] <syntroPi> SilentWalk7, also you might want to filter dmesg like        dmesg | grep -iC 3 "video"
[18:36] <SilentWalk7> Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config
[18:37] <Voyage> OerHeks,  baizon   very unexpected. but i guess the board does not have a wifi. Correct me if wrong? http://www.asus.com/us/site/motherboards/Z97/comparison/
[18:37] <Voyage> asus z97 k
[18:37] <SilentWalk7> ok did that, this error happend when I switched to ATI from the OpenSource
[18:37] <SilentWalk7> you think it is possible to switch back to Open source, using the terminal?
[18:37] <SilentWalk7> and how, if it is possible?
[18:38] <OerHeks> Voyage, does it have a connector for an external antenna? if no, it has no wireless :-(
[18:38] <syntroPi> SilentWalk7, unfortunately im not familiar with AMD gfx but you might get a hint what went wrong from the output I suggested. i guess its always possible to apt-get remove <whatever you installed> or blacklist them in modules and reboot
[18:39] <Voyage> OerHeks, hm
[18:39] <Voyage> OerHeks,  thanks
[18:40] <SilentWalk7> I will try purging all the related ATI drivers
[18:40] <SilentWalk7> see if that will fix it
[18:40] <syntroPi> maybe you can try to blacklist them in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf instead though
[18:40] <OerHeks> SilentWalk7, try that, and remove the xorg.conf, and reboot
[18:40] <syntroPi> not really sure
[18:41] <albertocg> Hello. How to make unity panel completely transparent. Setting opacity to 0 in ccsm lowers opacity, but it's still translucent, not transparent
[18:41] <Voyage> OerHeks,  https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97K/
[18:42] <Katielyn> albertocg, I believe Unity Tweak Tool can do this.
[18:43] <OerHeks> Voyage, do you see wifi @ https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97K/specifications/ ?
[18:43] <OerHeks> not me
[18:44] <Voyage> me niether
[18:44] <Voyage> neither*
[18:44] <SilentWalk7> Thanks for the help syntroPi and OerHeks, simply purging helped.
[18:44] <albertocg> Katielyn: I've tried with both ccsm and unity-tweak-tool
[18:44] <Voyage> OerHeks,  thanks again.
[18:44] <syntroPi> glad it worked
[18:44] <SilentWalk7> by doing that it defaulted back to the open source driver, and works now :)
[18:44] <OerHeks> SilentWalk7, have fun :-)
[18:45] <SilentWalk7> by doing that it defaulted back to the open source driver, and works now :).9
[18:45] <SilentWalk7> ups
[18:45] <syntroPi> SilentWalk7, just out of curiosity how well does the open amd driver work ?
[18:46] <syntroPi> coz i always used the closed nvidia (which works pretty well except for being closed ugly binary blob)
[18:46] <SilentWalk7> well I am not on my gaming computer, however steam wont work with the open source driver
[18:46] <SilentWalk7> or I still haven't found a way around it
[18:46] <syntroPi> i see
[18:46] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: yes, it will. Just needs a tweak
[18:47] <SilentWalk7> I tried changing to a different driver, but you all know that story
[18:47] <SilentWalk7> mcphail are you able to guide me in the right direction?
[18:47] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: I presume Steam doesn't open and you get various library errors if you start from the command line?
[18:48] <Omilun> hello i need a word currecter in ubuntu ... i had it but now i dont have that
[18:48] <SilentWalk7> indeed
[18:48] <SilentWalk7> libgl to be exact
[18:49] <SilentWalk7> and complains about some missing drivers
[18:49] <syntroPi> !info aspell | Omilun
[18:49] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: basically, you need to remove or rename a pile of libraries steam installs which are not compatible with the open source drivers. Give me a minute to google and I'll find you a command
[18:50] <Omilun> syntroPi: apt-get install aspell?
[18:50] <syntroPi> Omilun, well depends on where you want to use that of course but yeah
[18:51] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: find $HOME/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/*/usr/lib/ -name "libstdc++.so.6" -exec mv "{}" "{}.bak" \; -print
[18:51] <Omilun> syntroPi: thanks ... i love ubuntu chanel ... goodluck
[18:52] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: that'll rename the libstdc++ driver which causes mist of the conflicts. Steam will then use the native one, which will work.
[18:52] <SilentWalk7> Thanks, I will try that right now!
[18:52] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: and you might need to rerun that command every time steam updates
[18:53] <SilentWalk7> Thank you, it sure made steam start up.
[18:53] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: :) np
[18:53] <SilentWalk7> I will bookmark it for future use
[18:53] <SilentWalk7> in the process of converting everything to linux
[18:53] <jayjo> When I start my machine I see *** /dev/xvda1 should be checked for errors ***
[18:53] <jayjo> Is this serious?
[18:54] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: try to stick with the open source AMD drivers if possible. Performance isn't quite as good as the proprietary ones, but _far_ less buggy
[18:55] <SilentWalk7> The laptop is the only one that uses ATI graphic cards
[18:55] <SilentWalk7> the other two use nvidia
[18:55] <SilentWalk7> I will see if nvidia also has the same issues
[18:56] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: proprietary nvidia drivers are very good. OPen source nvidia drivers are poor just now
[18:56] <SilentWalk7> Good to know, and do you think I can simply select the driver through the "Additional drivers" window?
[18:56] <Omilun> am aspell dusent show wrrong word
[18:57] <SilentWalk7> Or do I need to do some magic on the terminal.
[18:57] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: the additional drivers thing is the proper way to do it, but I always use the terminal so I can see any errors
[18:58] <SilentWalk7> Aha I see. Sadly I started using linux, maybe a week ago, so I really don't know what most errors mean
[18:58] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: to be safe, install "build-essential" and "linux-headers-generic" before installing nvidia drivers
[18:58] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: the GUI should be fine
[18:59] <SilentWalk7> Yea, I will also do the usual apt-get update, upgrade, dist and so on
[18:59] <Omilun> ex me how can i install a word currecter on manjaro? (when i type a wrrong word ... i show my by a red underline)
[18:59] <SilentWalk7> anyway, thanks a lot for the support :)
[18:59] <mcphail> SilentWalk7: enjoy :)
[19:00] <TiZ> Hi, trying to update my Xubuntu 14.04 and am currently getting a Hash Sum mismatch error on both the partner and trusty-security repos. What should I do about this?
[19:00] <zenati> ^q
[19:00] <zenati> \q
[19:00] <zenati> \quit
[19:00] <syntroPi> mcphail, "apt-get install nvidia-current" should be already enought though
[19:01] <syntroPi> SilentWalk7, ^^
[19:01] <wileee> TiZ, Do you see a partial upgrade warning if run from the update gui?
[19:02] <SilentWalk7> Ok, thank you.
[19:02] <TiZ> wileee: Nope. If I try to use the GUI, it just says "Failed to download repository information."
[19:02] <mcphail> syntroPi: yes, I think they fixed the dependencies so it pulls in the headers now. Just can't remember _when_ it was fixed and if that includes 14.04
[19:03] <wileee> TiZ, This sudden? Maybe a new mirror switch, as of now we need exact info to help.
[19:04] <wileee> more exacting anyway, contex
[19:04] <TiZ> wileee: Yes, this just started happening.
[19:06] <wileee> TiZ, Try a pastebin of these commands for the channel sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade   just so we see more.
[19:11] <guest-123> Does anyone know how to restart lightdm to get it listening again without lossing my current session?
[19:12] <wileee> TiZ, If you're confused by any questions or instructions, let us know, we want you to get the help needed. ;)
[19:12] <TiZ> wileee: http://hastebin.com/elikahesac.pas
[19:12] <wileee> thanks
[19:12] <daftykins> guest-123: you're probably out of luck, dependin on what you did / what happened
[19:12] <TiZ> Tried to pipe to pastebinit, and lost stderr, lol
[19:13] <Piperanci> Xubuntu uses GNOME right??
[19:15] <mcphail> Piperanci: no. XFCE
[19:15] <jayjo> in shell, if i run 'date' it prints the date, but if I run echo $date + 'test string' it doesn't do anything. how do I append a string to the date or vice versa
[19:15] <guest-123> when I return to the promp after being away its gor a line of **** but not taking inrput or letting me clear it  not accepting input
[19:15] <wileee> TiZ, You have some repos added beyond this channels support, just so you know. I would change the mirror as a first try in software & updates first tab. WE may need to see the sources you have at some point.
[19:15] <Piperanci> mcphail Ok thanks
[19:16] <alistair> I notice I have a hdmi in-port, is there a program that will give me in-depth info about it? (I want to write a driver for it)
[19:16] <mcphail> jayjo: date is not a variable, so $date does not make sense. Try `date` (note the backwards quotes)
[19:16] <TiZ> wileee: I know I've got a bunch of PPAs. I'll try changing the mirror.
[19:17] <wileee> TiZ, It may be that simple with the hash, an update happening maybe.
[19:18] <wileee> TiZ, Once in awhile we see partial upgrades due to all packages not having made it fro multiple devs, and this clears within a day or so, never do a partial is the issue.
[19:19] <wileee> from*
[19:19] <TiZ> wileee: Got it. Changing mirrors didn't help, but it's in the partner repo anyway which probably doesn't even have a mirror.
[19:19] <TiZ> I'll just mess with it later. Thanks for your help.
[19:20] <wileee> TiZ, Way better help here in this area myself, faster anyway, let us know if you need. No problem trying here.
[19:20] <Piperanci> mcphail: Where can I download gedit? The page I am on says that it's for GNOME
[19:21] <wileee> TiZ, Than myself*
[19:21] <mcphail> Piperanci: "sudo apt-get install gedit"
[19:21] <TiZ> Okay. Take care.
[19:21] <wileee> Piperanci, What release of what OS?
[19:22] <Piperanci> wileee Xubuntu
[19:23] <wileee> Piperanci, number of text editors, gedit and leafpad are in the repos for any desktop with an V
[19:23] <wileee> X*
[19:24] <Jordan_U> Piperanci: With a few rare exceptions (most of which are closer to "widgets" than applications) any application written "for GNOME/KDE/XFCE" will also run under any other desktop environment. Just search for "gedit" in Ubuntu software Center or "sudo apt-get install gedit".
[19:24] <xyz_> hi
[19:25] <Piperanci> mcphail: Am I supposed to search that on google or...?
[19:25] <Piperanci> mcphail: Sorry I'm new to this
[19:25] <Piperanci> wileee repos?
[19:26] <Pici> Piperanci: you can just type that into a terminal.
[19:26] <wileee> Piperanci, repositories, all operating systems have their own to call for updates/upgrades, a general term.
[19:26] <Piperanci> jordan_u: Can you explain me the last part? "sudo apt- get install gedit"
[19:28] <wileee> Piperanci, You're smart to ask, you have great help, I will hang if needed.
[19:29] <Piperanci> wileee: Thanks! so "sudo apt-get install gedit" is a repos?
[19:29] <zerocool> "The main configuration file is usually called httpd.conf" Why don't I have httpd.conf
[19:29] <Leverquin> hello i have one question about my sound. finally i found what is problem but i do not know how to fix it
[19:30] <Leverquin> so problem is: when i rise master level to max in alsamixer
[19:30] <wileee> Piperanci, sudo is the tag to show you are the account root holder, you've installed, the rest calls the repo apt-get the install is as it sounds and the last gedit it the application to install.
[19:30] <philm88> I'm looking into setting up duplicity for backing up some remote servers. All the examples on the web I've found have been along the lines of; the server you want to back up runs duplicity then pushes the back up to a remote storage location. Is it possible to set it up so a central backup server can copy data from a remote server to itself? Ie, a pull backup?
[19:30] <daftykins> Leverquin: when you do... what?
[19:30] <Leverquin> and music is bit louder my pc/linux starting to get "headphones" and my music is starting to skip from stereo to headphones and music is broken how to to fix it
[19:31] <Leverquin> i tried to remove auto decetction but still doesnt' work only changed is when i use headphones music is still on stereo
[19:31] <wileee> Piperanci, Basically a standard install command. You can open the ubuntu software center and use it by searching for what you want.
[19:33] <mcphail> Piperanci: I don't know if xubuntu has the Ubuntu Software Centre installed as standard. If you are a beginner, you might be better using standard Ubuntu with the Software Centre which is designed to make installing software easy
[19:33] <wileee> !manual | Piperanci here is the basic manual it might be helpful
[19:33] <Piperanci> mcphail: It does. I typed a phrase in the terminal and I now have gedit. Thanks!
[19:34] <mcphail> Piperanci: enjoy :)
[19:34] <Piperanci> !manual
[19:34] <Piperanci> wileee: Thanks! I now have it
[19:34] <wileee> Piperanci, Many prefer the software center so use what works for yah. ;)
[19:35] <wileee> no prob, bets of luck
[19:35] <wileee> best*
[19:35] <Haris> hello all
[19:35] <Piperanci> Yeah I'll use it next time. Thanks a lot
[19:36] <Haris> what's the pkg for postgresql-server on trusty
[19:36] <iffraff> hello, my ubuntu crashes when I close my laptop.  is there anyone who can help me with this?
[19:36] <Haris> aptitude search postgresql|grep -i server doesn't reveal its name
[19:36] <Guest62248>  /j ##plano-external stlouis2015
[19:36] <misk00> hey guys at canonical, who broke archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/ ?
[19:37] <daftykins> iffraff: can you give a bit more detail about what you're running, first?
[19:37] <wileee> iffraff, Maybe, the channel works best with some outline if you can.
[19:37] <Haris> hmm.. its installed
[19:37] <iffraff> yes, just wanted to get someones attention before I did a data dump :)
[19:37] <wileee> misk00, This is free volunteer help, not exactly what you're looking for.
[19:38] <tgm4883> misk00: what's broke about it?
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> iffraff  simply ask a question to get attention
[19:38] <Piperanci> !manual
[19:38] <daftykins> iffraff: hrmm, perhaps throw it all in a pastebin if you have some info
[19:39] <iffraff> so I have had this problem with 14.04 - 15.10 (current) I am running a macbook pro with a partiton with ubuntu loaded on it.  when I close the lid then after a bit open it again the back light of the keyboard is on and the system is frozen
[19:39] <Pici> misk00: works for me, what issue are you having?
[19:39] <iffraff> so the screen is black the keyboard is lit there is no response, I have to hard reboot.
[19:39] <daftykins> iffraff: have you confirmed this by attempting to SSH in from another system on the local network?
[19:39] <Piperanci> wileee Where do I have to type !manual? Here or in the terminal?
[19:39] <iffraff> um
[19:39] <wileee> Piperanci, The link in the bots message,  http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[19:39] <iffraff> confirmed which part, but no
[19:40] <daftykins> well, confirmed it's truly unresponsive
[19:40] <wileee> we trigger the bot with ! and subject
[19:40] <MonkeyDust> misk00  works for me too
[19:40] <BlueProtoman> I have some Bluetooth speakers, and I'm using Ubuntu 15.04.  How do I direct sound to these speakers?
[19:40] <iffraff> ah, well, no, but for all practical purposes the laptop is unresponsive
[19:41] <daftykins> iffraff: confirm the above first, it'd be helpful.
[19:41] <iffraff> so last time I was on here someone asked about my swap drive which was infact way too small, I increased it to 32g but no change
[19:42] <iffraff> well, I have to tell you, I'm not sure I have the system set up with ssh in. I mean I've never done that

[19:42] <Piperanci> wileee: oooh i thought it was a person... Thank you
[19:42] <iffraff> I do have ssh agent running because I use github but I don't know if can get into my sys from somewhere else
[19:42] <wileee> Piperanci, That is alright. ;)
[19:42] <tgm4883> iffraff: you only have one computer?
[19:43] <iffraff> I'm at work I could grab someone elses computer.  but I don't know how to ssh into my laptop
[19:43] <tgm4883> iffraff: you'd need an ssh server installed on it. Easy enough to do
[19:44] <MonkeyDust> misk00  idd, the 'Packages' folder does not exist ... http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/partner/binary-amd64/
[19:44] <iffraff> well, I wonder if there are other steps we could take before we resort to that
[19:44] <MonkeyDust> or file
[19:44] <tgm4883> iffraff: well not really. The question is whether or not it's actually hard locked up. It's kind of an important point
[19:45] <iffraff> ok, so.. is there a apt-get package I should install?\
[19:45] <misk00> MonkeyDust: that's what I'm complaining about
[19:45] <misk00> MonkeyDust: # Enabled for Google Cloud SDK and gce-utils
[19:45] <misk00> deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner
[19:45] <misk00> it's GCE default repo for newly provisioned VMs
[19:45] <misk00> and it worked 2 hours ago
[19:45] <tgm4883> !ssh
[19:45] <wileee> tgm4883, Pici MonkeyDust I saw this earlier with the partner repo and a hash mishmash, just info. http://hastebin.com/elikahesac.pas
[19:46] <tgm4883> iffraff: so just 'apt-get install openssh-server'
[19:46] <tgm4883> iffraff: then you should be able to SSH to your laptop
[19:46] <eurythmia> Hi folks. I'm having trouble disconnecting the secondary display from my laptop. While the secondary display is plugged in (currently in mirror mode) xrandr shows this (http://paste.ubuntu.com/12775269/), but when I disconnect the hdmi, xrandr shows this (http://paste.ubuntu.com/12775276/) ... and I can't use my display while it's like that. How can I disalbe the Virtual display so that I can actually use my laptop as a laptop?
[19:47] <OerHeks> those mismatches can be solved by choosing another mirror or: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:47] <iffraff> well, ok installed. when I go to another persons computer what do I type to get into mine? ( I don't want to look even dumber when I go over )
[19:48] <mrasker> hello. could anybody tel me how to send a file from my android to ubuntu via bluetooth.
[19:48] <BlueProtoman> I have some Bluetooth speakers, and I'm using Ubuntu 15.04.  How do I direct sound to these speakers?
[19:48] <mrasker> I can send from ubuntu to android perfectly.
[19:48] <OerHeks> eurythmia, check your keyboard for the FN key internal/external/both screens button
[19:49] <tgm4883> iffraff: you'll need the IP address of your laptop. Then just try "ssh username@ipaddress" replace username with the username you use on your laptop and ipaddress with the laptop's IP address
[19:49] <eurythmia> OerHeks, genius. 've never used the button, so I didn't think to.
[19:49] <eurythmia> Thanks.
[19:49] <OerHeks> :-)
[19:53] <iffraff> tgm got it thanks.  give me a minute and I'll report back
[19:53] <Cobradabest> Can someone help me? I'm trying to get Android Studio working on Ubuntu Studio, but it won't run.
[19:53] <iffraff> christ. how do you get the ip address. i"m an old windows user. sorry
[19:53] <daftykins> Cobradabest: how'd you install it?
[19:53] <daftykins> iffraff: run the terminal then type "ip a"
[19:54] <Cobradabest> daftykins: through command like, following this: https://www.linux.com/community/blogs/132-mobile/779326-mobile-development-how-to-install-android-studio-on-ubuntu-version-1404
[19:54] <mrasker> I can send from ubuntu to android perfectly.
[19:54] <mrasker> could anybody tell me how to send a file from my android to ubuntu via bluetooth.
[19:55] <iffraff> thx
[19:55] <BlueProtoman> I have some Bluetooth speakers, and I'm using Ubuntu 15.04.  How do I direct sound to these speakers?

[19:56] <ikonia> oops
[19:58] <texmakersc> hello all. I am having trouble with texmaker in ubuntu, which may be a more general qt5 problem. none of the shortcuts are working at the moment. I have ubuntu 15.04 and i downloaded texmaker from the repositories. does anyone know a way to fix this?
[19:58] <Cobradabest> So can anyone help me with Android Studio not starting?
[19:58] <daftykins> Cobradabest: not until you answer my question.
[19:59] <ikonia> texmakersc: look at what the shortcuts are running and try to run them manually to get some idea
[19:59] <Pici> /70/36
[19:59] <Cobradabest> daftykins: I did, I sent you a link to the website I was following.
[19:59] <daftykins> ah yes, i was off in another chan
[19:59] <texmakersc> ikonia: manually all of them work
[20:00] <daftykins> Cobradabest: ok so it's a PPA, can't help with that - asked the folks in #android / ##android ?
[20:00] <Cobradabest> Nope, but I will.
[20:02] <texmakersc2> the connection closed
[20:02] <iffraff> tgm, hey, back information in tow
[20:02] <texmakersc2> ikonia did you see my answer?
[20:02] <ikonia> texmakersc2: nope
[20:02] <texmakersc2> did anyone else?
[20:02] <iffraff> so the ssh timed out but when I did a hard reboot and the sys came up the ssh went through
[20:03] <texmakersc2> well someone mentioned recompiling qt5
[20:03] <texmakersc2> in a forum..
[20:03] <ikonia> texmakersc2: what was your answer
[20:04] <texmakersc2> ikonia: you told me to check those commands manually in texmaker and I said they run perfectly
[20:04] <texmakersc2> but not when using the assigned shortcuts
[20:05] <ikonia> texmakersc2: and your running the exact command of the shortcut, checking the properties and copying them to the command line ?
[20:05] <texmakersc2> I'm following the gui menu and toolbar buttons of texmaker
[20:06] <texmakersc2> things like search, makepdf
[20:06] <iffraff> tmg4883 you still around?
[20:06] <ikonia> texmakersc2: so it's the shortcut within the app - not the shortcut launching the app
[20:06] <texmakersc2> precisely
[20:06] <texmakersc2> my apologies
[20:06] <ikonia> texmakersc2: no problem, just good to clarify
[20:07] <ikonia> texmakersc2: what repo does the software come from
[20:07] <Leverquin> hello here is video of my problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fyR3Gc09lo on video you can't hear that sound is skipping but when i rise my master volume level my sound is skipping.
[20:08] <texmakersc2> how can I check? apt-cache?
[20:08] <texmakersc2> I used software centre
[20:08] <ikonia> apt-cache policy
[20:11] <texmakersc2> apt-cache not found?
[20:12] <ikonia> apt-cache policy
[20:12] <texmakersc2> apt-get not found?
[20:12] <texmakersc2> hmm
[20:12] <ikonia> it would suggest you have removed somethings you should not
[20:12] <ikonia> or your path is screwed
[20:12] <ikonia> or your missing some libraries and it can't launch
[20:12] <texmakersc2> oops
[20:12] <EriC^^> texmakersc2: type echo $PATH
[20:13] <texmakersc2> sorry I am instructing my girlfriend
[20:13] <texmakersc2> she made a typo
[20:13] <texmakersc2> ok no texmaker in apt-cache policy
[20:14] <tgm4883> iffraff: yea, and you should use tab complete
[20:14] <tgm4883> !tab | iffraff
[20:15] <iffraff> ug. ok can someone help me with my issue.  I'm had this problem with ubuntu 14.04 -15.10 I'm on a macbook pro with a partition with ubuntu loaded on it.  when I close the laptop, the keyboard backlight goes on the screen goes blank and the system freezes
[20:15] <iffraff> omg
[20:15] <iffraff> I was scrolled up and couldn't see your respnse.
[20:15] <iffraff> sorry
[20:16] <iffraff> tgm4883, hey! sweet! new tricks.  lots of them actually! now I can ssh too!
[20:16] <tgm4883> iffraff: so you can SSH into your laptop when the screen is frozen?
[20:17] <iffraff> nope.  but when I hard reboot the hanging ssh attempt goes through
[20:17] <tgm4883> iffraff: hmm, that's no good
[20:17] <iffraff> sorry I meant I could ssh in general :)
[20:17] <iffraff> I concur
[20:19] <luks> does anybody here know where would be the right place to report this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/685145/archive-canonical-com-repo-for-trusty-is-broken
[20:19] <iffraff> tgm4883, so am I sol?
[20:20] <ikonia> I don't think it is broken
[20:20] <bekks> works4me.
[20:20] <OerHeks> luks, choose another mirror or: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:20] <tgm4883> iffraff: no, hopefully someone else will pipe up though. I'm still at work and just got the OK to upgrade one of our environments. So I won't be able to help for a bit
[20:21] <iffraff> :) fun! or not.  but thanks for the help.  one step closer
[20:21] <luks> OerHeks: can't do that for archive.canonical.com
[20:22] <luks> and removing /var/lib/apt/lists/* won't help, the repo itself is broken
[20:22] <bekks> luks: How do you know the repo is broken?
[20:23] <iffraff> here's one of lesser importance.  I'm on 15.10 my swappyness is set to 60, the recommendation is 10 but when I go to logind.conf there is no swappiness setting. or anything remotely resembling swat
[20:23] <iffraff> swap
[20:23] <luks> bekks: the sizes and checksums from InRelease do not match Packages.bz2
[20:23] <iffraff> did ths change in 1510?
[20:23] <bekks> luks: Then you have to wait until the repo is updated.
[20:24] <ikonia> login.confi ??? for swapiness ???
[20:24] <luks> bekks: it's over two hours now
[20:24] <ikonia> iffraff: why are you messing with things like swapiness ?
[20:24] <luks> and everything excpet for that one file seems to be updated
[20:24] <bekks> luks: And?
[20:24] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#What_is_swappiness_and_how_do_I_change_it.3F
[20:24] <bekks> luks: You cant do anything but waiting.
[20:25] <luks> bekks: given that it looks like a mistake to me, I was hoping to let somebody know
[20:25] <iffraff> aha, gravity check.  just going by memory it's gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
[20:25] <iffraff> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq

[20:26] <Shogoot> Hi all. Im trying to do some insert from on server to another. They are in same dmz sort of speak, but i cant get php to establish a connection. I can do mysql -u user -h ip -p and conect like that, but not with php and mysqli. any suggestions? Its not firewall realted, nor selinux.
[20:26] <ikonia> Shogoot: what version of ubuntu
[20:26] <ikonia> Shogoot: and how EXACTLY are you trying to update the DB
[20:27] <Shogoot> ikonia, php $this->conn = new mysqli($host, $user, $passwd, $database); and then mysqli_query.... but im not getting past establishing conection.
[20:27] <ikonia> Shogoot: so you need to verify the socket is open
[20:28] <ikonia> then verify the database is accepting connections from that user
[20:28] <ikonia> and put some debug in your php
[20:28] <Shogoot> ikonia, the db is accepting as i do get a connection usinig terminal and mysql -u user -h ip -p
[20:29] <Shogoot> ikonia, ill look into the socket thing
[20:31] <Shogoot> lsof... has along list attached, but it dont make any sense to me.
[20:34] <Shogoot> ikonia, lsof... has along list attached, but it dont make any sense to me.
[20:34] <ikonia> where are you running that ?
[20:34] <Shogoot> on my machine that has the php
[20:34] <ikonia> Shogoot: what has lsofs got to do with it ?
[20:34] <ikonia> it's making a remote connection, why would it have an open file
[20:35] <Shogoot> i thought that listen open sockets...
[20:35] <ikonia> no
[20:35] <Shogoot> this is way over my head :)
[20:36] <Shogoot> Ive never seen php failing at connecting to a server before, whenthe remote db has user accepting host from this same ip.
[20:37] <Shogoot> php says: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' (13)
[20:37] <ikonia> Shogoot: thats a php problem, ##php will help with that
[20:37] <ikonia> (or put debugging in)

[21:25] <Viking667> 'llo. I upgraded to 15.04 about a week ago, and have noticed something strange. Every time gdm starts up, it also runs a copy of abiword. Where would I go to see why this is happening?
[21:25] <l0ka1> hey
[21:26] <OerHeks> Viking667, i had that too, it is a little bug, solution : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1432271/comments/10
[21:30] <Viking667> OerHeks: thanks, I'll take a look at that.
[21:30] <OerHeks> That fixed it for me :-)
[21:31] <tuxedo> where can i get tutorial about ubuntu browser?
[21:34] <MonkeyDust> tuxedo  firefox?
[21:35] <teta> how can i solve this error?            Checking swap space: 0 MB available, 150 MB required.    Failed <<<<                             using ubuntu 14.04
[21:36] <Ben64> teta: add at least 150MB of swap space... what is giving you that error?
[21:36] <teta> Ben64: oracle installer
[21:37] <Ben64> teta: oracle.. the database?
[21:38] <teta> Ben64: yeah the oracle installer
[21:38] <zoiezo> guys plz help. I am on a small pretty old shitty laptop running Ubuntu 15.04, when I try to type: sudo apt-get update, I get an error mesagge, and it fails to update, can someone help? I have a ethernet cable plugged in btw
[21:38] <teta> zoiezo: what's the error
[21:39] <Ben64> teta: usually people say oracle in here when they mean java. so just add some swap, can be a swap file probably, kind of dumb that it requires some
[21:39] <gartral> hey all, I got a bit of a problem here with a 14.04 system, google chrome keeps crashing with a core-dump, has anyone else had any similiar issues?
[21:39] <teta> Ben64: no it's the oracle database. how do I add swap?
[21:39] <zoiezo> @teta idk exaclty
[21:40] <zoiezo> also tried install an app, but wouldn't work either
[21:40] <Viking667> OerHeks: ah well, seems like removing abiword will (for now) solve the problem too.
[21:40] <Viking667> (as in, abiword-common, which then removes abiword and its deps)
[21:42] <Ben64> teta: easiest way would be to make a swap file "dd bs=1M count=<how many megabytes you want it to be> if=/dev/zero of=swapfile" "mkswap swapfile"  "sudo swapon swapfile"
[21:42] <Ben64> zoiezo: try it again and give us the error
[21:43] <zoiezo> okay, I am on pc atm, going to start it up ;)
[21:43] <bekks> teta: Oracle databases are not supported on Ubuntu, basically.
[21:44] <teta> Ben64: created a file like this                             dd bs=1M count=500mb if=/dev/zero of=swapfile
[21:44] <teta> Ben64: then         mkswap swapfile mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB
[21:45] <Ben64> teta: count should be a number only, like 500, not 500mb
[21:46] <teta> Ben64:  mkswap swapfile                             mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB
[21:46] <Ben64> delete the file and try again
[21:48] <crane> has anyone a clue why my late_command is not preseeded? even the mkdir is not working... :( https://dpaste.de/Ph34
[21:48] <teta> Ben64: mkswap swapfile               swapfile: No such file or directory
[21:48] <Ben64> teta: then you're doing the dd command incorrectly
[21:50] <teta> Ben64: I just pasted here exactly the what i put in the file
[21:51] <zoiezo> @teta the problem already fixed itself, ahhaha sorry to bother you
[21:51] <Cernunnos> Clementine=Awesome
[21:51] <Ben64> teta: put the full command and output into a pastebin
[21:52] <teta> Ben64: lol I just did what you instructed!
[21:52] <Ben64> teta: you didn't though
[21:53] <Viking667> now I just have to troubleshoot why a tablet works differently under Ubuntu 15.04 than Vista (yeah, I know, I know...)
[21:54] <teta> Ben64: 1- create a file that looks like this called swapfile                 dd bs=1M count=500 if=/dev/zero of=swapfile                       2- exit text editor, call              mkswap swapfile
[21:54] <teta> Ben64: and the error is             mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB
[21:54] <gartral> hey all, I got a bit of a problem here with a 14.04 system, google chrome keeps crashing with a core-dump, has anyone else had any similiar issues?
[21:55] <Ben64> teta: see you got it wrong
[21:55] <teta> Ben64: then say what part is wrong and how to correct it
[21:55] <Ben64> teta: i never said to make a text file, you were supposed to run the commands in order i posted
[21:55] <netlar> I cannot connect my printer

[21:56] <teta> Ben64: so this is a command                               dd bs=1M count=500 if=/dev/zero of=swapfile
[21:56] <netlar> How can I find out the ip address of my printer
[21:57] <Haris> I create a soft link for a file (ln -s sourcedir/source-file targetdir/target-file). but when I run vi that-soft-link-name, I get new file in vi, rather than editing of the file for which I just created the soft link
[21:57] <Ben64> teta: indeed
[21:57] <mbach_> I'm looking for people who are interested in music softwares!
[21:57] <Haris> what am I doing wrong in creating soft link ?
[21:57] <teta> Ben64: cool, looks like it worked. will this swap stay there forever or until i reboot'
[21:57] <Ben64> teta: until you reboot
[21:58] <mbach_> I have created an audio player and I'm looking for beta-testers (and more!)
[21:58] <Ben64> mbach_: you're in the wrong channel
[21:58] <Ben64> Haris: probably linking incorrectly, make sure you use full paths in the ln command
[21:58] <Haris> hmm
[21:59] <hans_> test chat
[21:59] <mbach_> Ben64, even if I have a ready to build github repository (and a quite old one debian file)?
[21:59] <Ben64> mbach_: this channel is ubuntu support, you're not here looking for ubuntu support, so you're in the wrong channel. maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:00] <Haris> putting in full path did it
[22:00] <Ben64> Haris: :D
[22:00] <Haris> but why not relative path ? it was just one folder deep
[22:00] <Ben64> Haris: you probably did something weird on the relative path
[22:01] <Ben64> Haris: its usually easier and definitely more reliable to just use full paths
[22:01] <Haris> ln -s temba/settings.py.dev temba/settings.py <-- copy/pasted thsi command from http://rapidpro.github.io/rapidpro/docs/development/
[22:01] <Haris> this+
[22:02] <Ben64> Haris: doing that would make temba/settings.py a link to temba/temba/settings.py.dev
[22:02] <Haris> o_O
[22:02] <Haris> lol

[22:25] <BHSPiMonkey> My mouse cursor turns invisible from time to time, about once a day. Sometimes it comes back on its own, sometimes it doesn't. The appearance/disappearance don't seem correlated with anything. Anyone know why it could be happening, or at least a potential workaround when it does happen?
[22:25] <BHSPiMonkey> (Ubuntu 15.04 with Intel graphics)
[22:26] <BHSPiMonkey> Note: This was originally an Ubuntu-GNOME install, but I later removed the ubuntu-gnome packages and installed ubuntu-desktop instead.

[22:31] <gartral> hey all, I got a bit of a problem here with a 14.04 system, google chrome keeps crashing with a core-dump, has anyone else had any similiar issues?
[22:33] <z1log`> hey
[22:36] <Ryein> ubuntu doesn
[22:36] <Ryein> ubuntu isn't working with the 970m
[22:36] <Ryein> ive tried everything
[22:38] <Ryein> almost every version of ubuntu and every version of nvidia driver
[22:38] <Ryein> even a fresh install
[22:39] <BadDream> Ryein
[22:39] <Ryein> BadDream, yes
[22:39] <BadDream> are you able to just try it from a live cd or live usb?
[22:39] <Ryein> It works with the open drivers
[22:39] <Bashing-om> Ryein: What release are you running ? Nvidia supports us well now .
[22:39] <Ryein> not the closed drivers
[22:39] <Ryein> ive tried 14.04 and 15.10
[22:40] <Ryein> I have the Razer Blade 2015
[22:40] <BadDream> when you were trying the proprietary drivers were you fully updating the system before switching to the proprietary driver?
[22:41] <Ryein> BadDream, yeah
[22:41] <BadDream> wat im thinking is maybe you were trying to use an older version of the proprietary drivers but if you update the system fully youll then have access to much newer version of the drivers.....do you remember wat version of the proprietary drivers you were trying to use? just roughly
[22:43] <wileee> Ryein, You should name the graphics hardware exactly, probably two cards.
[22:43] <wileee> lspci shows hardware
[22:43] <Ryein> wileee, it is two cards and i did i have a 970m
[22:43] <Ryein> wileee, is that not specific enough?
[22:43] <AEL-H> I am trying to mount my SD card elsewhere, but it says "too many symbolic links"
[22:43] <AEL-H> how can I rectify this?
[22:44] <wileee> Ryein, Not sure, not an area I really know, just thinking more might be better. ;)
[22:44] <Ryein> wileee, ok thanks
[22:45] <BadDream> Ryein where are you installing the drivers from?
[22:45] <wileee> AEL-H, Is it auto mounting now from a fstab entry?
[22:45] <Ryein> BadDream, nvidia, graphics-drivers ppa, default in repo
[22:46] <BadDream> Ryein can you go to settings and additional drivers for me please
[22:47] <BadDream> tell me what drivers youre currently using
[22:47] <AEL-H> wileee: how can I check this?
[22:47] <Ryein> BadDream, ive tried version 352 and 355
[22:47] <Ryein> currently 352 is the one supported by cuda 7.5 by default with the nvidia installer
[22:47] <Bashing-om> Ryein: What returns from terminal command ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' ?
[22:47] <fearghal> hello everybody.
[22:47] <fearghal> This damned "Fetch error... Hash sum mismatch" hit my Mint 17.1 Desktop. I tried many forum posts guidelines without success. so I'm here asking if any of you has a clue on how to fix this.
[22:48] <wileee> AEL-H, You would know, really it is hard to tell what is happening from here, better help on though.
[22:48] <BadDream> Ryein 352 is the version youre currently using? is it the proprietary tested version?
[22:48] <AEL-H> wileee: well I dont think it is
[22:49] <wileee> AEL-H, Have you made any symlinks to or from it?
[22:49] <Bashing-om> fearghal: Not have a thing against Mint, but the response here " on how to fix this " is install 'buntu .
[22:49] <AEL-H> wileee: no,
[22:49] <fearghal> Bashing-om: that's not a solution ;)
[22:50] <Ryein> sudo wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1404/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1404_7.0-28_amd64.deb
[22:50] <Ryein> this is the repo i added
[22:50] <fearghal> and besides this thing hits ubuntu as well
[22:50] <Bashing-om> !mint | fearghal
[22:51] <BadDream> Ryein i dont recomend instaling the drivers that way. i asked you to go to settings and additional drivers to physically see the current drivers being used and the options of which drivers are available. the process is very easy and should work fine if you follow instructions
[22:51] <Ryein> BadDream, i tried that bud
[22:51] <fearghal> Bashing-om: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2008050
[22:52] <BadDream> well unless you can tell me the version youre using now specifically i cant help any further....you need to follow instructions to get help
[22:53] <kusochi> have you guys heard what happened to meizu's ubuntu phone?
[22:53] <Bashing-om> fearghal: Look'n see what I can advise on the forum .
[22:53] <Ryein> BadDream, i told you 352
[22:54] <BadDream> but you also said the nvidia drivers arent working so im left confused as to how you can actually be using 352 but are thinking you arent using them at the same time
[22:54] <fearghal> Bashing-om: so generally speaking, you know what causes this issue?
[22:55] <Ryein> BadDream, i have 352 installed but since it is a dual gpu setup with optimius with intel and nvidia only the intel gpu is working... switching to Nvidia doesn't work and I can't access CUDA using deviceQuery
[22:56] <AEL-H> what is mmcblk exactly?
[22:56] <BadDream> ahhhh i see now....because you arent actualy installing the correct drivers for the gpu....you need to find out specifically what gpu you have then seatch it in synaptic and install it along with all the depencies it requires....thats what i would do
[22:57] <tase> Hey guys I'm installing Ubuntu 14.04 on my old laptop, 4 GB of RAM, do I want swap and do I want ext2 or 3 or 4 with Ubuntu ?
[22:57] <Ryein> BadDream, nvidia says 352.41 is supported
[22:58] <Ryein> http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/90279
[22:58] <Ryein> i haven't tried downloading them directly
[22:59] <wileee> tase, ext4 is the default, swap is your choice, needed for hibernate, I would have one.
[22:59] <BadDream> Ryein you do not have a 970m...you have a 970m and some intel processor stuck together that require a special driver...it is not called a 970m...theres another name for it...970m is just half the name...youre only trying to install half the drivers and its not working
[23:00] <Ryein> BadDream, i've never heard of that can you help me figure out which driver i am suppose to get then because nvidia doesn't list anything
[23:00] <BadDream> i would if you would tell e what gpu you actually have
[23:01] <BadDream> me*
[23:01] <Bashing-om> fearghal: Generally the cause is a corrupted control file, removeing and updates usually fix. As you are on Mint, I can not comment further.
[23:01] <tase> wileee, for swap, what kind of size, ram/2 = size ?
[23:01] <BadDream> it wouldnt be a gpu manufactured by nvidia Ryein...its a gpu that your laptop manufacturer had made specifically for them
[23:01] <wileee> tase, slightly larger than mem now like 4.1 gig
[23:02] <BadDream> Ryein maybe if you give me the serial number of your laptop i can search the system specs and we can go from there
[23:03] <Ryein> BadDream, it is a Razer Blade 2015
[23:04] <fearghal> Bashing-om: there seem to be different opinions on the matter. I read about people claiming that time fixes issue, or that it's a server issue, or that installing particular software may do that too, or internet filters... Strange.
[23:04] <BadDream> rye can you open synaptic and search gtx 970m ?
[23:04] <AEL-H> Why does cant I mount my SD card? All I get is "too many symbolic links"
[23:04] <BadDream> Ryein
[23:06] <BadDream> hmmm nothing comes up
[23:10] <BadDream> Ryein can you search nvidia-346 in synaptic? i think thats the driver you should be using
[23:12] <Ryein> BadDream, i found this https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/810964/linux/black-screen-after-prime-select-nvidia-and-log-out-using-v346-35-drivers/2/
[23:12] <Ryein> BadDream, can you explain what is happening here?
[23:14] <BadDream> Ryein that article is for using xorg drivers which has nothing to do with proprietary drivers. there are 3 types of drivers you can use. xorg and nouveau which are open source or you can use nvidia proprietary drivers
[23:16] <BadDream> i would recomend the proprietary drivers as long as they work fine as long as you dont have a thing about using closed sourced drivers...some people do....otherwise your choice are xorg or nouveau
[23:17] <BadDream> you should see all the options available in settings/additional drivers
[23:18] <Ryein> BadDream, https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/810964/?comment=4460566
[23:27] <Cernunnos> Guys I have a little bit of a problem on my hands
[23:27] <Cernunnos> I was playing around with CompizConfig and I did something
[23:27] <Cernunnos> and now well at least I got Unity working again but
[23:27] <Cernunnos> there's not like
[23:27] <Cernunnos> the bar on the top with the X button and such
[23:27] <Cernunnos> is gone
[23:27] <Cernunnos> also the hotkeys for snapping aren't working
[23:28] <Litmus2336> Reinstall Unity? Sounds like something got a bit messed up
[23:28] <Cernunnos> How?
[23:28] <wileee> Cernunnos, look up the unity and compiz reset for your release. Once normal use compz to save that model, than mess around.
[23:28] <Litmus2336> That too. Reset > Reinstalling
[23:29] <Cernunnos> wileee, I tried a tool called unity-reset and it runs in terminal but
[23:29] <Cernunnos> it gets to a certain point and then
[23:29] <Cernunnos> it boots me back to login screen
[23:29] <Ben64> don't use enter as punctuation
[23:29] <Cernunnos> where all the changes it was trying to make when I log back in
[23:29] <Cernunnos> are reverted
[23:29] <wileee> Cernunnos, read what I said for your release, this has changed slightly over time.
[23:30] <Cernunnos> Can somebody refer me to something?
[23:30] <Litmus2336> Are you on 15.04 or 14.04?
[23:30] <Cernunnos> 14.04
[23:30] <Litmus2336> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
[23:30] <Litmus2336> Did you download the reset tool?
[23:30] <Cernunnos> ya
[23:30] <Cernunnos> same webpage I found too
[23:30] <Litmus2336> If not youy could try method B
[23:31] <Litmus2336> Then try this
[23:31] <Litmus2336> http://itsfoss.com/reset-unity-compiz-settings-ubuntu-1404/
[23:33] <Cernunnos> option B fixed it
[23:33] <Cernunnos> ok one more slightly less major issue lol
[23:33] <Cernunnos> Wait no nevermind
[23:33] <Cernunnos> Know how to fix this one
[23:34] <aarobc> Is there a ubuntu distro variant that hibernate works consistently on?
[23:35] <wileee> Cernunnos, Notice that compiz has a save function, when I used that desktop I saved the stock and my custom setup, the custom could just be loaded to another OS using compiz.
[23:35] <tase> Is it possible to do Remote Desktop to Ubuntu with the desktop Unity ?
[23:36] <Cernunnos> Not it's not letting me enable wobbly windows... And I assume anything else. Unity resets, boots me to the login screen and closes everything when I try.
[23:38] <wileee> Cernunnos, compiz is tricky, not every plugin works in every situation, the desktop has also changed in how it shows images, so it is a bit of a research involved understanding in the end.
[23:38] <Cernunnos> wileee, it was working before this predicament
[23:41] <Cernunnos> Alright we're good
[23:41] <Cernunnos> This time when it reset it actually saved me enabling it :P
[23:57] <tase> I installed Samba and tried connecting to it from a Windows computer, I typed in a user's name/pwd that exists on the Linux system, but it says permission denied. Do I need to add users to a samba group ?
[23:58] <[n0mad]> hmm, there's a tool that i used to setup my samba stuff


[10:35] <czajkowski> aloha
[10:41] <slashtommy> good morning
[10:42] <slashtommy> how's limerick?
[10:42] <czajkowski> overcast today
[10:42] <czajkowski> was rather pretty yesteray
[10:44] <czajkowski> saying that it's not lashing
[15:16] <czajkowski> anyoen know where I'd find rules about bringing dogs into ireland from eu ?
[15:18] <czajkowski> ebel: *pokeage*
[15:18] <ebel> ahoy
[15:18]  * ebel has no idea how to import a dog…
[15:18] <czajkowski> bah you usually know lots of random facts
[15:18] <ebel> you could look at a pet passport? or one of those silly 6 month quantine thinges
[15:18] <ebel> Depends if you mean UK or rest of EU.
[15:19] <ebel> don't think there's any rabies in UK, which /might/ make matters easier
[15:20] <czajkowski> isle of man
[15:20] <ebel> don't think isle of man is in EU :P
[15:20] <ebel> tisn't even in UK
[15:20] <czajkowski> bah
[15:21] <ebel> (Then again EU borders brazil, so things are funny :) )
[15:21] <slashtommy> ireland is in the EU, so are you thinking about bringing a dog from limerick to dublin?
[15:21] <czajkowski> nooooo
[15:21] <ebel> slashtommy: pedant. "into ireland from eu"
[15:22] <ebel> slashtommy: wonder would áine know? you'd presume they'd know about moving dogs around…
[15:22] <slashtommy> ok, derry to dublin
[15:22] <slashtommy> try the ferry company
[15:23] <slashtommy> they would be the people who require the documentation
[15:23] <slashtommy> also, isle of man of CTA
[15:23] <slashtommy> so you would probably be fine
[15:23] <czajkowski> what is CTA ?
[15:24] <slashtommy> common travel area
[15:24] <ebel> CTA = common travel area, and is why you can drive to northern ireland without needing a passport
[15:24] <slashtommy> in includes UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands
[15:24] <ebel> it's like a tiny little schengen area for ireland, uk etc.
[15:24] <slashtommy> ever wonder why when you land in heathrow, you aren't required to present your passport
[15:25] <czajkowski> I am
[15:25] <czajkowski> every time
[15:25] <czajkowski> thought I go through the automatic thingy now that just scans
[15:25] <slashtommy> nope, we weren't
[15:25] <czajkowski> so very handy
[15:26] <ebel> czajkowski: you are legally allowed to present just a driving licence or whatever.
[15:26] <slashtommy> and we weren't when we flew into Gatwick or Birmingham
[15:26] <czajkowski> if I go through the manual one I just show the bording card thats fine
[15:26] <ebel> though some airlines (e.g. ryanair) will not let you check in without a passport
[15:26] <ebel> however the (say) french border control insist on passport
[15:26] <slashtommy> there is no passport control for flights from Ireland landing at Birmingham, Heathrow, Bristol or Gatwick
[15:26] <czajkowski> yup
[15:26] <czajkowski> jon travels over here on his drivers licence with aer lingus
[15:26] <slashtommy> i have confirmed those in person
[15:27] <czajkowski> but I have seen people refused with that with ryanair
[15:27] <slashtommy> czajkowski: i'm talking about arriving, not departing
[15:27] <czajkowski> ahhh
[15:27] <czajkowski> ok
[15:27] <slashtommy> UK and Ireland airports do not require to see your passport/ID until you're at the gate
[15:27] <slashtommy> there is no outgoing passport control
[15:28] <slashtommy> there is only outgoing passport control when flying from schengen out
[15:29] <slashtommy> you meet passport control when arriving into dublin, but if arriving from CTA airports you can show your driving licence
[15:30] <slashtommy> i have used both british and irish driving licences
[15:30] <slashtommy> i don't know about shannon, don't intend to go there
[15:30] <czajkowski> nods
[15:31] <ebel> czajkowski: these lads seem to do pet passports http://www.agriculture.gov.ie/pets/
[15:32] <czajkowski> great thanks
[15:32] <ebel> czajkowski: maybe ring 'em up and explain it? or contact the port/airport where you intent to enter ireland
[15:32] <ebel> since isle of man (a) isn't EU and (b) might be closer (and hence laxer regs) than rest of eu
[15:32] <czajkowski> aye
[15:32] <czajkowski> all will become clear
[15:32] <czajkowski> :)
[15:32] <czajkowski> cheers folks
[18:29] <neuro_sys> o/
[18:29] <neuro_sys> also \o
[18:29] <czajkowski> neuro_sys: aloha
[18:29] <czajkowski> Take a peek at a bunch of Microsoft lobbying documents sent to the cabinet office - don't miss the footer on the Microsoft email claiming exemption from the Freedom of Information act. The Cabinet office doesn't give a stuff what Microsoft think is exempt any more. http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/open_standards_when_specifying_i
[18:31] <neuro_sys> does any of you dig literature? :-p I need some random literary text to write a random paper about for the class.
[18:32] <czajkowski> wanna try that again ?
[18:32] <neuro_sys> I mean, I need recommendations for any piece of literature which was produced by some irish individual.
[18:33] <zmoylan> wilde, joyce
[18:33] <zmoylan> gb shaw
[18:34] <zmoylan> swift
[18:34] <neuro_sys> I think it needs to be less known, less british (excluding joyce).
[18:34] <neuro_sys> anyway, those as well could be done though, I'll find something.
[18:34] <zmoylan> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irish_writers
[18:35] <zmoylan> many many authors
[18:35] <neuro_sys> actually I loved Flann O'Brien.
[18:35] <zmoylan> personally i love shaw, wilde and swift.  just so far beyond their contemporaries.
[18:36] <neuro_sys> yaay, I'll do Lord Dunsany then
[18:37] <neuro_sys> I love them too. they're like just too english, except maybe swift? I may be purely delusional about that by ignorance though.
[18:37] <czajkowski> clearly
[18:38] <zmoylan> i read wilde and shaw as incredibly irish.  found out at aunts funeral that she had corresponded with shaw when she was young.
[18:41] <neuro_sys> I don't know nothing about irish except their women should be incredibly hot.
[18:42] <zmoylan> that's an odd comment
[18:42] <zmoylan> too much a generalisation
[18:42] <neuro_sys> some sort of optimism
