[00:00] <AlexQ> Now I run apt-get update and it got stuck on updating trying to connect to a server via IP6, while my ISP doesn't provide it xD ... Okay, recovered
[00:00] <Bashing-om> the_count: Checking the new list .
[00:00] <BottomNotch> Daftykins: can I restore a backup from the command line?
[00:00] <daftykins> BottomNotch: i don't know how you backed up
[00:01] <BottomNotch> I backup up from system settings in unity
[00:01] <daftykins> telldrak: what are you doing to want sendmail on these hosts? running internal email?
[00:01] <the_count> telldrak: What exactly is the issue?
[00:01] <BottomNotch> Backed up autocorrect :/
[00:01] <daftykins> BottomNotch: i have no experience with that
[00:01] <BottomNotch> I'll Google it
[00:02] <BottomNotch> I should have never of purged unity
[00:02] <daftykins> *nod*
[00:02] <BottomNotch> Lesson learned
[00:02] <the_count> daftykins: What kind of issues does purging unity introduce
[00:03] <BottomNotch> If I end up having to do a fresh install I think I'll try Linux mint, maybe my touchscreen will work.
[00:03] <daftykins> hmm, kind of irritating for you to try and learn via those already tasked with helping but...
[00:03] <daftykins> BottomNotch: that'll be an even bigger mistake :)
[00:03] <the_count> Bashing-om: Maybe I should restart, then repopulate that list... The results may be different/better
[00:03] <daftykins> 1) installed xfce i think? 2) purged unity 3) they both share packages, so unity removal took out what xfce needed to run - leaving a hosed system
[00:04] <BottomNotch> It was fine until I rebooted :/
[00:04] <daftykins> lol
[00:04] <BottomNotch> But yeah exactly what happened
[00:04] <daftykins> and *BANG* the desktop environment is gone!
[00:04] <the_count> daftykins: oh, oops
[00:05] <AlexQ> daftykins: Why would purging one package remove it's dependencies that are also dependencies of a different package?
[00:05] <the_count> daftykins, how do you make you're *BAND* think?
[00:05] <BottomNotch> I'm just gonna try to install lxde
[00:05] <Bashing-om> the_count: That ouput is the same as the 1st .. agreed .. restart the system and let's get a new look .
[00:05] <daftykins> the_count: sorry this isn't IRC school
[00:05] <the_count> daftykins: I think I accedentally descovered it
[00:05] <daftykins> AlexQ: all we know is it broke, i care not the why right now.
[00:06] <the_count> BAshing-om: Ok, see you in a bit
[00:06] <Decco848> its often there is not change to exsisting files in use too other packages, If not the volume managment doesnt htink we got to much harddrive space
[00:06] <BottomNotch> Well thanks for all your help daftykins
[00:07] <daftykins> np, we tried
[00:07] <AlexQ> Well, I purged that Intel GPU driver and now I have 2:2.99.917+git20150808-0ubuntu4. So apparently it was from that ppa
[00:07] <the_count> daftykins: Point taken
[00:08] <the_count> Bashing-om: And, restarted, the kernel list is definantly shorter, but not as short as one world think, repopulating list
[00:08] <AlexQ> I'd like to replace all packages that came from that ppu with Ubuntu ones, but that command ppa-purge doesn't find the ppu
[00:08] <AlexQ> probably gone after upgrade
[00:08] <AlexQ> what to do?
[00:08] <BottomNotch> Dafttkins: well I will try Linux mint if I need to do a fresh install, I really want a working touchscreen
[00:09] <daftykins> BottomNotch: alright, just know you can't get any help with Mint here
[00:09] <the_count> Bashing-om: I think this list may look the same as well: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13379098/
[00:09] <BottomNotch> Daftykins: I know
[00:09] <Bashing-om> the_count: K; lookin.. lemme clear the board and we start all over ..
[00:10] <the_count> bashing-om: I will the same here as well
[00:10] <AlexQ> I'll try to reboot after purging & installing that Intel GPU driver... Although not optimistic at all
[00:10] <BottomNotch> Daftykins: well I'm up and running with lxde
[00:11] <Bashing-om> the_count: OK, show me what results ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.16.0-46-generic ' .
[00:12] <BottomNotch> To bad I couldn't get xfce working
[00:12] <daftykins> probably something in there broken *shrug*

[00:14] <Bashing-om> the_count: Yep, that one should be history .. now ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.16.0-48-generic ' .
[00:15] <the_count> Bashing-om: Results look the same as previous
[00:16] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: That list of [OK] and [FAIL] while shutting down. Can I view it right now while the system is on?
[00:17] <Bashing-om> the_count: Oh I am getting the idea of what is going on . do ' sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-3.16.0-46 ' .
[00:17] <truexfan81> yum can be configured to limit the number of old kernels the system keeps before it auto removes them, does apt have anything like that?
[00:17] <VictoriaXOXO> truexfan81: Can you read this? Have I been muted? :(
[00:17] <truexfan81> VictoriaXOXO: you are not muted :)
[00:17] <Decco848> To share, ive read articles of Drive mounting problems in USB Distros To know the parameters are undefined and nor reachable or allocative is Beyond me
[00:18] <the_count> Bashing-om: What's going on, and looks like it has been removed succesfully
[00:18] <VictoriaXOXO> truexfan81: Wooooo.
[00:18] <SupaYoshi> hey how do i add a br0, that asks for a second dhcp lease of my router?
[00:19] <SupaYoshi> I have a ubuntu server, trying to setup a virtualmachine and I want the br0 to receive an IP from the router.
[00:19] <SupaYoshi> I tried doing this, but that gave it the same IP as the eth0. and that doesn't look healthy
[00:19] <the_count> Bashing-om: Here were the results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13379481/
[00:19] <EriC^^> truexfan81: there's a script that checks that, you could probably modify it
[00:19] <Bashing-om> the_count: Our former dpkg -P commands did complete, what we have now is the results of incomplete mass removals .. We will get caught up here in a bit .. now : ' sudo dpkg -P linux-signed-image-3.16.0-46-generic ' .

[00:20] <Decco848> Formatting by disc is harder,  esp' Without a bootable CDROM
[00:20] <truexfan81> EriC^^: in this case i only have 2 kernels installed but the new one is working nicely, so no reason i can think of to keep the old one
[00:20] <daftykins> SupaYoshi: not how it works at all
[00:20] <daftykins> SupaYoshi: let the VM get its' own via bridging.
[00:20] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok, and my virtual desktops aren't around any more, thought I might point that out
[00:20] <the_count> Bashing-om: Purged succesfully
[00:21] <SupaYoshi> daftykins, i am creating a vm with kvm.
[00:21] <SupaYoshi> I need to specify which bridge device to use
[00:21] <Decco848> Setting jumpers and defining IDE on older machines is complicated, and Wondering why you cant boot from img is completly triffling.
[00:21] <daftykins> SupaYoshi: gotta install bridge-utils then edit /etc/network/interfaces then ; i'm sure there's a guide to KVM network config somewhere
[00:22] <SupaYoshi> ERROR    Error in network device parameters: Unknown network type br0
[00:22] <SupaYoshi> i have bridge-utils installed.
[00:22] <EriC^^> truexfan81: you can manually remove it if you want
[00:22] <EriC^^> with apt-get purge

[00:30] <daftykins> SupaYoshi: it's probably that you don't have a br0 yet because you've not created one by installing what i mentioned :)
[00:30] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok, good
[00:30] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: /var/log/boot.log ?
[00:31] <dengxinjun> hello
[00:31] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: I'll look at it!
[00:31] <SupaYoshi> i have bridge-utils installed
[00:31] <dengxinjun> Where's you doing?
[00:31] <daftykins> SupaYoshi: right but that doesn't magically create you a br0
[00:31] <SupaYoshi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13379782/
[00:31] <daftykins> dengxinjun: ubuntu support questions only
[00:31] <dengxinjun> what's you doing?
[00:32] <SupaYoshi> daftykins, do i need to put something in networking?
[00:32] <daftykins> right so the interface is called virbr0
[00:32] <SupaYoshi> no thats from virtualbox.
[00:32] <SupaYoshi> I was using that with virtualbox.
[00:32] <daftykins> SupaYoshi: what's the end goal here, what is this VM going to do...
[00:32] <SupaYoshi> I want another bridge.
[00:32] <SupaYoshi> The vm is going to run a freepbx distro.
[00:33] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Weird. I'm sure I saw at least one (1) [FAIL] there.
[00:33] <SupaYoshi> and i want it to access my lan. So i want it to be bridged with my lan.
[00:33] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: on shutdown maybe, but that doesn't remain visible now...
[00:33] <SupaYoshi> daftykins, so what do i do to create br0?
[00:33] <Bashing-om> the_count: Next is same for the headers ' sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-3.16.0-{50,51,52,53}-generic '.
[00:33] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Dang. How do I catch it?
[00:33] <daftykins> SupaYoshi: so with virtualbox networking it should've been easy enough to get that VM to have an IP on your real LAN
[00:33] <SupaYoshi> no i am using kvm for this vm
[00:34] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: pass.
[00:34] <SupaYoshi> im not using virtualbox for this.
[00:34] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: You pass on that question?
[00:34] <daftykins> SupaYoshi: ugh, i think you're making life harder for yourself when you don't have the experience with any of these.
[00:34] <daftykins> anyway my battery is about to go so i think i'm out :)
[00:34] <SupaYoshi> I have used br0 before on something else.
[00:34] <SupaYoshi> I just want to learn it.
[00:34] <daftykins> find a guide then perhaps
[00:34] <SupaYoshi> Okay bye
[00:34] <daftykins> or ask in ##networking
[00:35] <daftykins> but i can tell you you're going about that task in a pretty insane way
[00:36] <SchrodingersScat> I keep getting connection errors with my reverse tunnel, http://paste.debian.net/334492 it eventually connects, just takes it a minute.  If I don't use it when it does connect, it seems to time out.  How do I troubleshoot this further?
[00:36] <the_count> Bashing-om: Those aren't installed as well
[00:37] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: That list of [OK] and [FAIL] while shutting down. Can I view it right now while the system is on?
[00:38] <SupaYoshi> help i just typed this, brctl addif br0 eth0, how can I undo this command?
[00:39] <Bashing-om> the_count: My bad again .. I am rattled and not think'n things through .. do ' sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-3.16.0-{50,51,52,53} ' // no generic this time !
[00:40] <the_count> Bashing-om: What is ' generic ' for?
[00:40] <SchrodingersScat> !man | SupaYoshi, try man brctl, if there's an addif, there may be a rmif or delif somewhere.
[00:41] <Bashing-om> the_count: Now the final in this series ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-extra-3.16.0-{50,51,52,53}-generic ' .
[00:42] <the_count> Bashing-om: Done
[00:42] <SupaYoshi> okay fixed
[00:42] <Bashing-om> the_count: There are several packages required for each kernel .. -generic is one of the three .
[00:42] <SupaYoshi> thnx
[00:42] <SupaYoshi> anyone an idea what i have to do?
[00:42] <SupaYoshi> I want to bridge eth0 with br0
[00:43] <SupaYoshi> so br0 gets an IP from the dhcp server too.
[00:43] <the_count> Bashing-om: I see. Shall I restart again, or is there more to remove?
[00:43] <truexfan81> EriC^^: you are right, i could remove it very easily :-)
[00:44] <Bashing-om> the_count: Gimme a tic .. as now we remove the old 3.19 kernel series .
[00:45] <the_count> Bashing-om: Got it
[00:47] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: That list of [OK] and [FAIL] while shutting down. Can I view it right now while the system is on?
[00:48] <Bashing-om> the_count: ' apt-get purge linux-image-{26,28,30,31,} ' . three more commands to go .. try'n to keep this simple .
[00:49] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: see system log .0 or .1 in /var/log
[00:50] <the_count> Bashing-om: You added an extra comma again
[00:51] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Thanks. But can you give me the full names? :P
[00:51] <the_count> Bashing-om: And, are those generic?
[00:51] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Oh, wait. Maybe I can find them.
[00:51] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Is it called "syslog"?
[00:51] <k1l_> yes
[00:51] <Bashing-om> the_count: Yikes .. teach me to slow down with my edits ! ..  ' apt-get purge linux-image-{26,28,30,31} ' now does that run ?
[00:52] <birou15> @123Bnd
[00:53] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: I can't find any "[OK]" or "[FAIL]" in there. :(
[00:53] <the_count> Bashing-om: You also forgot the beginning of the kernel release numbers... Not sure which ones you are on currently
[00:53] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: they get recyled on every reboot. so look into the .0 or .1
[00:54] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: the things you see is dmesg, but since systemd is used that is not saved anymore.
[00:54] <Bashing-om> the_count: I did it once more ! yuk .. should be ' apt-get purge linux-image-<IP_ADDRESS>-{26,28,30,31}-generic ' . Triple checked and now looks correct !
[00:54] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Gosh dang it. I might have to record my screen while the PC shuts down. XD
[00:55] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: i would not worry too much about that if it shuts down fine
[00:55] <the_count> Bashing-om: You got one extra .0 in there
[00:55] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: I'm an expert at worrying. I just want to know what that one or two [FAIL] line(s) points to.
[00:56] <dcope> how can i debug random timeouts to an ubuntu 12.04 machine? trying to connect via ssh and curl a webpage being served by nginx will randomly timeout.

[00:56] <the_count> Bashing-om: And you mixed up the... the ' <IP_ADDRESS> ' should be ' 3.19.0 '

[00:58] <Nyterax> how do i delete old kernels from /boot/ with bleachbit?
[00:58] <the_count> Bashing-om: Got it finally... Hey, and through this, I think I am learning something... Which is the objective   ...I think
[00:58] <k1l_> Nyterax: run "sudo apt-get autoremove"
[00:59] <Guy1524> hey guys so I tried to install ubuntu on my optimus laptop but whenever I try to use optirun I get this: [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: Could not load GPU driver
[00:59] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: did you install nvidia-prime?
[01:00] <the_count> Bashing-om: And, you deserve an upadate to this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13380434/ It might make it a bit easier
[01:00] <Nyterax> k1l_, i do that but the generic kernels are still there, while i use lowlatency
[01:01] <Guy1524> i think so let me check
[01:01] <k1l_> Nyterax: then sudo apt-get remove linux-generic && sudo apt-get autoremove
[01:01] <Guy1524> yes
[01:03] <Nyterax> k1l_, this is my /boot/ http://pastebin.com/gkCXkewB what can i remove safely?
[01:03] <k1l_> Nyterax: you need to remove the metapackage like i told.
[01:03] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: wich graphics driver do you have active right now?
[01:03] <k1l_> Nyterax: but you only have a 3.13 lowlatency kernel there
[01:04] <k1l_> Nyterax: sorry, scratch that.
[01:04] <k1l_> Nyterax: just remove the linux-generic. that will drop the generic kernels
[01:04] <Bashing-om> the_count: Moving on along ' apt-get purge linux-headers-3.19.0-{26,28,30,31}-generic ; apt-get purge linux-headers-3.19.0-{26,28,30,31} '. One to go !
[01:05] <Nyterax> package 'linux-generic' is not installed, so not removed
[01:06] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: you can find the list @ additional drivers (hardware icon)
[01:07] <the_count> Bashing-om: I'm going to have to restart before I do that... The lock ile could not be opened... And another windows said that I needed to restart
[01:08] <Guy1524> oh sorry was part of another chat in #linux
[01:08] <Guy1524> I have 352 right now
[01:09] <the_count> Bashing-om: Is that fine?
[01:09] <Guy1524> basically they had no idea what was going on and I am reinstalling, downloading the iso right now
[01:09] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: try 340 or 346 perhaps, and enable performance mode in nvidia-settings
[01:09] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: iso?
[01:09] <Bashing-om> the_count: Preseed with 'sudo" .. as all we have ' sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.19.0-{26,28,30,31}-generic ; sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.19.0-{26,28,30,31} ' // that is the "lock file" .
[01:09] <Guy1524> ok, but when I do that it just resets
[01:09] <Guy1524> for reinstalling ubuntu
[01:09] <the_count> Bashing-om: I did that with sudo
[01:09] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: you dont need to reinstall mate, just right combination card/driver
[01:10] <Guy1524> ok, well it was working before but when i installed bumblebee it screwed everything up
[01:10] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: bumblebee is outdated
[01:10] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: use nvidia-prime instead
[01:10] <Guy1524> ok
[01:10] <Guy1524> just uninstalled bumblebee
[01:10] <the_count> Bashing-om: Can that be unlocked, or will I have to reboot?
[01:10] <Nyterax> k1l_, should i remove 'linux-generic-lts-vivid'?
[01:10] <Guy1524> but the problem persists i think
[01:11] <Bashing-om> the_count: Then, is there another instance of the package manager running ? as only one can run at a time ; so dpkg os "locked" .. give time for any other package manager to complete befire beginning another instance .
[01:11] <the_count> Bashing-om: Don;t want to do anything that digs the hole even deeper
[01:11] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: choose another driver/reboot/enable performance mode in nvidia-settings
[01:11] <Guy1524> ok
[01:11] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | Guy1524 if things go wrong
[01:11] <Guy1524> i know to boot into recovery mode rebooting now
[01:12] <the_count> Bashing-om: I don't believe another instance is running, I didn't open any others
[01:12] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: ok good :p
[01:12] <Bashing-om> the_count: Yeah .. then reboot .. and we pick it back up here.
[01:12] <the_count> bashing-om: Ok
[01:12] <quechon> hello
[01:12] <quechon> how everybody doing
[01:13] <Guy1524_> the same problem is happening
[01:13] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: wich driver active now?
[01:13] <Guy1524_> when I reboot it switches from nvidia to intel
[01:13] <Guy1524_> intel
[01:13] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: no mate, you need to choose another nvidia driver from additional drivers list
[01:13] <Guy1524_> and when I just relog instead of rebooting it just makes a black screen
[01:14] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: tell me wich drivers you see there?
[01:14] <Guy1524_> where, in additional drivers?
[01:14] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: yes
[01:14] <Guy1524_> I only see 352.63 normal, 352.63 updates, and the open source one
[01:14] <quechon> how can i fix this /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSM
[01:15] <the_count> Bashing-om: Rebooted, nothing happened... I had forgotten sudo on the second command
[01:15] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: hmm, wich card do you have?
[01:15] <Guy1524_> gtx 960m
[01:15] <Nyterax> is it possible to allocate more space to /boot/?
[01:15] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: tryed the opensource one?
[01:16] <Bashing-om> the_count: Now did  sudo apt-get purge
[01:16] <Bashing-om>                     linux-headers-3.19.0-{26,28,30,31} - no generic .. complete ?

[01:17] <quechon> ok ill read that thanks
[01:18] <kaypro4> hi from a kaypro4
[01:18] <Guy1524_> should I just reinstall ubuntu?
[01:18] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524_: no, try the opensource one
[01:18] <Guy1524_> ok
[01:19] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524_: wich ubuntu version is this?
[01:19] <Guy1524_> 15.10
[01:19] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524_: if that fails, you might wanna try a 14.04.3 liveusb to test your card/driver
[01:19] <Guy1524_> do I have to reboot for it to take effect?
[01:19] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524_: yes better reboot

[01:22] <the_count> Guy1524: What happened?
[01:22] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: try LTS for more stable
[01:22] <Guy1524> nothing out of the ordinary, nvidia linux drivers stink
[01:22] <lotuspsychje> Guy1524: we had other users with your card working fine!
[01:22] <the_count> Guy1524: I see

[01:28] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok... And also... I did install Gnome a while back and removed it, could that cause any issues.. i did this from the ubuntu software center.
[01:28] <the_count> Bashing-om: The last command did work
[01:28] <Bashing-om> the_count: Next in clean up ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-extra-3.16.0-46-generic ' .

[01:30] <the_count> Bashing-om: Well... This was a month or more ago... It should have shown some immediate results I would think

[01:40] <bencc1> how can I debug it?
[01:41] <zidsal> can someone here help me with something I'e tried installing bcmwl-kernel-source via the package manager however its stuck in applying changes
[01:41] <zidsal> anyway I can do something about this
[01:41] <lettuce45> what command do I need to extract a rar file?
[01:42] <Bashing-om> the_count: Now let's make sure all agree at this time . ' ls -al /usr/src/ ; ls -al /lib/modules/ ' la -al /boot ' . If all agree we can now (RE-)install the 3.16.0-30 kernel .
[01:42] <OerHeks> !info unrar
[01:42] <lotuspsychje> zidsal: you can install the broadcom driver right off your ubuntu iso
[01:42] <zidsal> lotuspsychje ok but how do I kill the package managers installation?
[01:43] <Bashing-om> the_count: * ls -al /boot ' .

[01:49] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: What does "Allow Flipping" in the NVIDIA settings do? Ubuntu 14.04.
[01:49] <lotuspsychje> VictoriaXOXO: i think it has to do with virtual desktops
[01:49] <dcope> hey all, how can i figure out why pinging an ubuntu 12.04 machine times out sometimes? http://pastie.org/private/btgqcadcgnwyqi3cvwevna
[01:50] <dcope> this is all on my lan so im not sure where there are such spikes, too
[01:50] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: Would it be safe to disable it?
[01:50] <lotuspsychje> VictoriaXOXO: try and see, you cant just break ubuntu with 1 setting
[01:51] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: Oh, I'm not too sure about that. XD

[01:52] <kum4n> Hello, anyone can tell me how to build certificate authority in Linux server specially in debian or ubuntu? Thanks, sorry for my bad English :)
[01:52] <dcope> hawly: what do you mean?
[01:53] <the_count> Bashing-om: Did you get that?
[01:53] <hawly> dcope, the only way I know to drop pings is messing w/ /proc
[01:54] <Bashing-om> the_count: Look'n // why oh why can we not sudo get rid of the 3.19.0-25? Let'rm -rf /lib/modules/
[01:54] <hawly> dcope, ah- iptables may do some tricks on this subject too
[01:54]  * hawly is getting old and having pain in parts of his body he never knew that existed!
[01:55] <kean> hello ,everyuone
[01:55] <mario_> hi kean
[01:55] <the_count> Bashing-om: Maybe propose to Linus to add english syntax so we can have commands such as those... Was that a command you were giving me?
[01:56] <dcope> hawly: there seem to be networking problems in general though. ssh sometimes times out... and now pings to the machine time out too
[01:56] <Bashing-om> the_count: Continued : let's try ' sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/3.19.0-25-generic ' .
[01:56] <hawly> dcope, an "iptables -L" on that machine may reveal something
[01:57] <the_count> bashing-om: Ok
[01:58] <dcope> hawly: not much in there, http://pastie.org/private/mshclaofabxamdfiwleiw
[01:59] <hawly> dcope, im FUPing it
[01:59] <dcope> FUP?

[02:00] <Nyterax> i did sudo apt-get remove linux-generic-lts-vivid and then autoremove but it still shows up in dpkg -l along with all the generic headers, is that normal?
[02:00] <the_count> Bashing-om: You weren't responding, that's why I said that
[02:01] <dcope> hawly: it should be the default one
[02:01] <dcope> ive never messed with iptables on this machine
[02:01] <Bashing-om> the_count: Sorry . can not look at outtput on different desktop and type here also .
[02:02] <the_count> Bashing-om: It's all ok
[02:02] <hawly> dcope, whats are problem freq and duration?
[02:03] <Bashing-om> the_count: Did we do ' sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic ' ? I lost track again .
[02:04] <the_count> Bashing-om: We did not
[02:04] <hawly> dcope, you burst the pings and some reach and others not - or it stays some time frame without accepting?
[02:05] <TJ-> dcope: possibly a bad link; On the target PC, what does "ifconfig XXXX" report (where XXXX is the receiving interface) ?
[02:05] <quechon> i followed this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware but what im trying to build doesnt have a ./configure and i cannot auto create one either
[02:06]  * hawly is not network specialist - not a specialist at all - just a Linux enthusiast
[02:06] <ryao-phone> Is this a good phone for Ubuntu? http://www.expansys-usa.com/google-nexus-5-d820-32gb-white-unlocked-285132/
[02:06] <quechon> i get this when running make /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lSM
[02:07] <quechon> i did a search for the lib file and i have it in my system
[02:07] <dcope> TJ-: http://pastie.org/private/hndcxlajwzpjrsjium4q
[02:07] <quechon> how can i point what im building to that file
[02:07] <OerHeks> ryao-phone, i don't think so, join #ubuntu-touch for phone support
[02:08] <OerHeks> err, there is a 'working' port , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices
[02:08] <hawly> dcope, can I see too?
[02:08] <TJ-> dcope: good news is, there aren't any TX/RX errors reported on that interface
[02:09] <dcope> this is so strange... i never had these issues on an old router
[02:09] <Bashing-om> the_count: OK, remove the ' sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/3.19.0-26-generic  ' .
[02:10] <TJ-> dcope: Now, on the target 12.04, run "sudo tcpdump -ni eth0 icmp". Then on the other PC start the ping. Observe if the 12.04 PC always sends out an ICMP reply for each ICMP request
[02:10] <ryao-phone> OerHeks: I am trying to decide on whether to get the Nexus 5 and install Ubuntu on it to replace my iPhone until the zero day situation with WebKit is resolved.
[02:11] <OerHeks> "Bluetooth doesn't work; Power management issues (the battery performance isn't great)" no
[02:12] <TJ-> dcope: "never had these issues on an old router" ... does that imply you've recently changed a router that sits between these PCs?
[02:12] <dcope> TJ-: yes, that is correct.
[02:12] <ryao-phone> OerHeks: I wish there was more explicit information.
[02:12] <dcope> i don't know why the new router would randomly cause intermitent issues though
[02:13] <hawly> kkkkkkkkk
[02:13] <the_count> Bashing-om: I might have missed a message you sent withing the last 10 minutes
[02:13] <TJ-> dcope: "aha!" Then it would suggest that router is most likely the problem. Continue with the 'tcpdump' analysis as I recommended, so you can find out if the router is failing to pass on the ICMP request to the 12.04 PC, or whether the PC receives it, replies, but the router doesn't pass the reply to the source PC.
[02:13] <the_count> Bashing-om: I was disconnected temporarily
[02:14] <TJ-> dcope: But either way, assuming the 12.04 PC is behaving correctly, you need to investigate the router
[02:14] <Bashing-om> the_count: Are we caught up ? ready to see if all our work is fruitful ?
[02:14] <dcope> TJ-: indeed. the 12.04 PC is sending replies right now
[02:14] <dcope> none have timed out while running tcpdump
[02:14] <the_count> Bashing-om: Check this file again, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13382781/ just to make sure
[02:15] <TJ-> dcope: Try to keep that running for an extended time; the results aren't useful if the problem doesn't exhibit itself :)
[02:15] <Bashing-om> the_count: Check'n http://paste.ubuntu.com/13382781/ .
[02:15] <TJ-> dcope: what is the make/model of the router, and is it using stock firmware as supplied with it?
[02:16] <dcope> TJ-: it's an arris NVG599
[02:16] <dcope> with stock firmware
[02:17] <Bashing-om> the_count: What is it with that kernel ! Try again ' sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-3.19.0-25-generic ; sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-3.19.0-25 ' !
[02:19] <the_count> Bashing-om: I think that may have gotten it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13382952/
[02:19] <the_count> Bashing-om: Are there not a few more we can remove?
[02:20] <Bashing-om> the_count: Look'n and now a new ' ls -al /usr/src/ ; ls -al /lib/modules/ ; ls -al /boot ' please .
[02:21] <the_count> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13383085/
[02:22] <TJ-> dcope: I can't see any issues reported around packet dropping for that device, so it is likely a local problem only. If you can prove (with tcpdump on both source and target PC) that ICMP packets (and possibly other packets - UDP, TCP) are being dropped, then you'll need to investigate the router itself. there might be some rate-limiting Anti-DDoS rules in its firewall causing that for example
[02:22] <Bashing-om> the_count: Look'n .. gimme a bit .
[02:23] <Bashing-om> the_count: One final one ! ' sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/3.19.0-31-generic '

[02:31] <dcope> TJ-: so when running tcpdump it _will not_ timeout at all
[02:31] <Bashing-om> the_count: We have the 3.19 broke .. working is 3.16.0-30 ; want to keep a back up of a 3.16 kernel.
[02:32] <the_count> right
[02:32] <dcope> but ssh times out while trying to connect a new session... wtf :(
[02:32] <treesiger> He may have to change every password he uses. A African hacker might of seen it and clean his bank accounts out
[02:33] <TJ-> dcope: That is strange, and it suggests some kind of sensitivity to timing of packets
[02:33] <lotuspsychje> treesiger: stop that please
[02:34] <the_count> Bashing: I see, we do want to leave a backup
[02:34] <Bashing-om> the_count: OK. now all looks good to me .. let's have the package manager heal it's self ' sudo atp-get -f install ' . Next up is to (RE-)install 3.16.0-30 to pick up the missing packages .

[02:38] <dcope> TJ-: yes, the client (the one im on now) is on wifi
[02:39] <dcope> i tried plugging in via ethernet earlier today and had the same results
[02:39] <connor_> hello
[02:39] <TJ-> dcope: I'd suggest using Ethernet on both sides whilst testing, purely to elliminate any possible variation due to the Wifi. But it sure looks like you have a dud router, or else bad config in it

[03:16] <the_count> bashing-om: It finished... If there is anything else that has to be done now tell me fast as I have to go...
[03:16] <Decco848> Palete*
[03:16] <lotuspsychje> !info bleachbit | VictoriaXOXO
[03:16] <the_count> bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13385138/
[03:16] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: BB can do that?! :o
[03:16] <daftykins> i've seen that bleachbit hose a couple of folks systems now, not sure it's ideal :>
[03:17] <Bashing-om> the_count: That is all for now .. tomorrow we go back to work on the touchpad .
[03:17] <the_count> Bashing-om: Ok, thank you, and ahve a good one... ' sudo get some sleep '
[03:18] <Bashing-om> the_count: Ouch @ " /dev/sda6        76G   65G  7.2G  91% / " we still have work to do !
[03:18] <VictoriaXOXO> lotuspsychje: daftykins: I am... not... finding that in BB.
[03:18] <the_count> Bashing-om: I have a lot of things of mine on this drive as well
[03:18] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: trying to find a direct replacement for every single Windows program you may've run in the past isn't really that good an approach imo
[03:18] <Decco848> im going to off topic CIOA for now rommies
[03:19] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Well, give me a terminal command then. ;)
[03:19] <Bashing-om> the_count: We can pick this back up later .. for now I am content that the system is stable .
[03:19] <the_count> Bashing-om: Thanks, see you
[03:19] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: i didn't see what you were asking to do
[03:19] <daftykins> i sense it's a futile request already though
[03:20] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Read up. XD JK. I want to list ALL files from biggest to smallest.
[03:20] <daftykins> on the entire system?
[03:20] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Yeah!
[03:20] <daftykins> what a ridiculous request; better would be to just use 'find' and look for files of a certain size.
[03:20] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: It's not ridiculous to me!
[03:21] <VictoriaXOXO> I like seeing things like that.
[03:21] <daftykins> there's a graphical disk usage program that might be of use
[03:21] <daftykins> but maybe if i could understand your plan (which i don't) we could advise something better
[03:22] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Well, there's really no plan. I just wanted to know if it was POSSIBLE on a Linux box. I used to like doing that.
[03:22] <daftykins> but why
[03:23] <daftykins> when will this be relevant?
[03:23] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: When finding out what's taking up space. :P
[03:23] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: OR you could tell me how to find ALL files over 1 GB of size?
[03:24] <daftykins> i already did, find does that
[03:24] <daftykins> and i already told you there's a graphical disk usage program
[03:24] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Just find and nothing else?
[03:25] <daftykins> "find / -size 1G" or similar
[03:25] <daftykins> "man find" for more.
[03:25] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Let me try.
[03:26] <daftykins> i don't think that was the correct format
[03:26] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: You should've seen my terminal. XD
[03:27] <daftykins> no i'm ok.
[03:27] <daftykins> i was playing with the command myself; worked for me on a path i know i have a large file in by running "find . -size +1000M"
[03:29] <VictoriaXOXO> Yeah, that worked better.
[03:29] <VictoriaXOXO> I was sure I had some old VM file, but apparently not.
[03:30] <Bashing-om> VictoriaXOXO: ' sudo find / -type f -size +1G -exec du -h {} \; 2>/dev/null | sort -hr | head -n 10 ' which will search the whole filesystem for files bigger than 1G and then sort them and print the 10 largest ones (you can adjust the '1G' and the ' -n 10' if that's not granular enough) - you can exclude mounted filesystems with '-xdev' or a suitable '-prune' if you have a more complicated multi - partition filesystem .
[03:31] <linux666> Hi there
[03:31] <linux666> How do I use find command to find 'vmlinuz'?
[03:33] <daftykins> why are you looking for that?
[03:33] <kaypro4> find / -name vmlinuz -print
[03:33] <daftykins> vmlinuz is a symlink in /
[03:33] <linux666> to load the kernel manually daftykins
[03:33] <Bashing-om> linux666: ' sudo find /boot -name "vmlinuz*" ' should fill that bill .
[03:34] <VictoriaXOXO> Bashing-om: Not complicated at aaaaaaaall. :P
[03:34] <VictoriaXOXO> But I'll save it for future use.
[03:38] <Bashing-om> VictoriaXOXO: Hey .. you did ask .. it's linux ... where there is a will there is a way .
[03:38] <VictoriaXOXO> :o)
[03:52] <rising-ti> hi
[03:52] <rising-ti> whts up
[03:54] <rising-ti> hello
[03:55] <rising-ti> is everyone inactive af
[03:56] <daftykins> ask a question, it's support only in here
[03:56] <rising-ti> ok soz
[03:57] <rising-ti> does anyone know a beginer ai avalible to install on kali linux
[04:10] <Guest47237> hi there
[04:10] <Guest47237> anyone help me about installing utorrent on ubuntu mate
[04:13] <AlexQ> Hi
[04:14] <AlexQ> I have updated to Ubuntu 15.10, then performed repo update and upgrade, reboots etc. and the newest kernel I have is vmlinuz-3.19.0-33-generic
[04:15] <AlexQ> I have also installed Ubu 15.10 from scratch in parallel, on a different partition and I have vmlinuz-4.2.0-18-generic as of now
[04:15] <AlexQ> What's wrong?
[04:16] <AlexQ> Should I manually install a kernel package? What is the name of the newest stable available package for my architecture (amd64)? Any special package name?
[04:19] <Bashing-om> !hwe | AlexQ
[04:19] <daftykins> AlexQ: i bet you're missing linux-generic :)
[04:19] <AlexQ> daftykins: It is quite possible :)
[04:19] <daftykins> sudo apt install linux-generic
[04:20] <AlexQ> give me a sec for reboot
[04:20] <daftykins> or confirm with "dpkg -l | grep linux-"
[04:20] <AlexQ> can I do it with chroot without rebooting?
[04:20] <daftykins> why are you rebooting at all?
[04:20] <daftykins> reboot has nothing to do with installing this metapackage
[04:21] <AlexQ> I am running another Ubuntu installation on my Laptop, just wanted to check if package is there without rebooting
[04:21] <AlexQ> to the other installation I have issues with
[04:22] <daftykins> so you have two side by side?
[04:22] <trustisimportant> hey guys, I have a question, is ubtuntu really more safe than windows, in terms of backdoors, etc?
[04:22] <TJ-> AlexQ: yes, a chroot is sufficient to check is it is installed
[04:22] <daftykins> trustisimportant: that's not a support question technically, you could talk about Linux in general vs. Windows in ##linux
[04:22] <TJ-> trustisimportant: I'd worry more about front-doors generally :)
[04:22] <AlexQ> yes, it isn't there
[04:23] <OerHeks> trustisimportant, ubuntu has no backdoors, not even windows.
[04:23] <trustisimportant> what is a front door :)?
[04:23] <trustisimportant> via the websorser? and programms?
[04:23] <trustisimportant> webbrowser*
[04:23] <daftykins> as i said, ##linux
[04:23] <TJ-> trustisimportant: user behaviour; browsing with Javascript/Flash enabled, opening attachments, etc.
[04:24] <trustisimportant> sorr y bro:)
[04:24] <daftykins> you are not my sibling
[04:24] <trustisimportant> ok, my trust in the world has gone, which channel do you recommend me?
[04:24] <daftykins> you've seen it named already, twice
[04:24] <AlexQ> TJ-: Interestingly, there are libc headers for 4.2.0-18.22 listed. 3.19.0-33.38 - was that the latest kernel for 15.04 then?
[04:25] <daftykins> !info linux-generic vivid
[04:25] <daftykins> yes
[04:25] <TJ-> !info linux-generic vivid-updates
[04:26] <TJ-> strange, the 'bot reports an older version than AlexQ has
[04:26] <TJ-> !info linux-generic vivid-proposed
[04:26] <daftykins> could be a little outdated?
[04:27] <TJ-> apparently!
[04:27] <lotuspsychje> nite nite guys
[04:27] <daftykins> o/
[04:29] <AlexQ> Might that be a reason that the system is not working correctly after the upgrade? I couldn't make much out from the syslog, bootlog, Xorg log etc.
[04:29] <AlexQ> Will boot into recovery and install linux-generic
[04:30] <AlexQ> after booting into recovery I had KernelOops's on that kernel I mentioned
[04:31] <AlexQ> OopsText:  NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s! [Xorg:1001]
[04:34] <daftykins> AlexQ: well you obviously want everything to match the same release version
[04:35] <AlexQ> ok, rebooting then
[05:10] <centaur5> Running 15.10 fully up to date.  Using network manager to set static IP everything works except DNS lookups completely fail.  In a browser pointing to an IP will load a page.  Any ideas?
[05:10] <crazyhorse18> hmm
[05:10] <crazyhorse18> i've compeletly lost all of my menus in ubuntu, rebooting didn't fix the problem
[05:10] <crazyhorse18> i'm running 15.04 default gui (which is unity i think)
[05:11] <crazyhorse18> i've managed to get access to a terminal window (by right-clicking on a folder, and clicking open in terminal)
[05:12] <crazyhorse18> is there anything i can do restart, or fix the issue?
[05:12] <SeriouslyLaugh> centaur5 can you ping your router?
[05:12] <crazyhorse18> i'm also unable to resize windows or scrollbars
[05:12] <baiter> you lost?
[05:12] <baiter> you had it before?
[05:13] <crazyhorse18> yeah been working since i installed it.. today i tried to open a video in vlc, it crashed, took me to a terminal window with some text (ACPI or something)
[05:13] <crazyhorse18> so i rebooted and now none of the windows load
[05:14] <crazyhorse18> i'm just trying a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade just in case that will fix the porblem but i'm not hopeful
[05:14] <TJ-> crazyhorse18: try logging into a Guest session. if that works it tells you there's a user config file issue
[05:14] <curtis__> Hello!
[05:14] <centaur5> SeriouslyLaugh, yeah I can login to router admin page and everything. Can ssh to other boxes by IP. I specified DNS in nm-applet settings but it just doesn't work.  I'm on my laptop with static on 14.04 using wireless  and it fully functions.  My desktop is hard wired.
[05:14] <crazyhorse18> TJ-: got ya, thanks
[05:15] <curtis__> I need help, I need a virtual keyboard for my 2 in 1 laptop, any help?
[05:15] <SeriouslyLaugh> can you ping the DNS centaur5?
[05:15] <baiter> centaur, sounds more like a network issue
[05:15] <Guest16780> Hi
[05:15] <TJ-> centaur5: if you've configured the NM connection to use a static IP address, have you also configured the IP address of a DNS server manually?
[05:15] <baiter> there's a #networking channel
[05:15] <curtis__> I need help, I need a virtual keyboard for my 2 in 1 laptop, any help?
[05:15] <centaur5> SeriouslyLaugh, yes
[05:16] <Guest16780> Can someone be polite to tell me how I get into another chat room? I'm newbie
[05:16] <Guest16780> Thanks!
[05:16] <baiter> curtis, google ubuntu virtual keyboard
[05:16] <baiter> pretty sure it exists already
[05:16] <TJ-> Guest16780: type /join #<name-of-channel> e.g. /join ##linux
[05:16] <SeriouslyLaugh> make sure it's not down
[05:16] <centaur5> TJ-, I used nm-applet to configure the entire thing under "Wired Connection" same goes for my wireless on my laptop nm-applet under the wireless ssid static settings fully function.
[05:16] <Guest16780> Thanks a lot TJ-
[05:16] <Guest16780> :)
[05:17] <curtis__> PLEASE HELP
[05:17] <curtis__> I need help, I need a virtual keyboard for my 2 in 1 laptop, any help?
[05:17] <TJ-> centaur5: right, and did you configure a manual DNS server IP address there?
[05:17] <centaur5> TJ-, yep exact same DNS server on both machines but the desktop doesn't lookup.
[05:17] <curtis__> please...
[05:18] <TJ-> centaur5: first thing is to ensure you've not made a silly typo in the edit box :) 2nd is to review /var/log/syslog where NM reports very verbosely when its configuring an interface.
[05:18] <curtis__> screw this
[05:19] <dengxinjun> this is a book
[05:19] <centaur5> TJ-, triple checked digits and even rebooted with saved settings.  I'll check the logs real quick.
[05:19] <TJ-> centaur5: the way it works is NM controls a private instance of dnsmasq, the caching DNS server, which listens on <IP_ADDRESS>. NM sends the configured DNS server IP address to dnsmasq over DBus when the connection is activated
[05:19] <dengxinjun> I much do it
[05:19] <TJ-> centaur5: check that this is a sym-link: "ls -l /etc/resolv.conf" should be a pointer to "../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf"
[05:20] <TJ-> centaur5: also, check the content of "/etc/resolv.conf" - the target file should contain "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>"
[05:21] <centaur5> TJ-, no symlink exists and the DNS in resolv is the previous router
[05:22] <dengxinjun> the ubuntu very ..........
[05:22] <TJ-> centaur5: that explains it! Can you check this exists and contains the nameserver line I showed: "cat /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf"
[05:22] <allen> Hello
[05:22] <dengxinjun> hello
[05:22] <wmorri> dengxinjun, hi do you have a question?
[05:23] <TJ-> !cn | dengxinjun if you'd prefer to talk in your own language
[05:23] <allen> 汉字可以吗？
[05:23] <dengxinjun> No.I'm not
[05:23] <dengxinjun> 可以
[05:23] <dengxinjun> 我也是中国人
[05:23] <allen> 这个英语有点受不了
[05:23] <dengxinjun> 嘿嘿
[05:23] <dengxinjun> 我喜欢英语
[05:23] <TJ-> !english
[05:23] <centaur5> TJ-, yes it does have <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:23] <dengxinjun> 我经常在这里练习英语
[05:24] <TJ-> centaur5: OK, the fix should be "sudo ln -sf ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf"
[05:24] <SeriouslyLaugh> how did you guys know he had a question in chinese? just curious
[05:24] <OerHeks> guys, english only please
[05:24] <SeriouslyLaugh> based on his nick?
[05:24] <dengxinjun> yes
[05:24] <TJ-> SeriouslyLaugh: I checked his IP address net owner
[05:24] <TJ-> SeriouslyLaugh: "netname:        CHINANET-JX"
[05:24] <allen> 那以后都用英文
[05:25] <SeriouslyLaugh> TJ- oh cool
[05:25] <centaur5> TJ-, Thanks a lot you're a genius.
[05:25] <centaur5> TJ-, Guess one of my release upgrades must have broken that
[05:25] <TJ-> centaur5: it's a common issue where users/scripts forcefully replace that file not knowing it is supposed to be a sym-link
[05:26] <dengxinjun> 美国这个时候应该是睡觉了吧，还有人？
[05:26] <TJ-> all local DNS resolution is done by that private dnsmasq controlled by NM
[05:26] <TJ-> !english | dengxinjun allen
[05:26] <dengxinjun> OK
[05:26] <dengxinjun> english
[05:26] <TJ-> dengxinjun: thank you :)
[05:26] <centaur5> TJ-, Thanks a lot. My knowledge on how nm-applet works was too limited to understand what was going on.
[05:27] <TJ-> centaur5: nm-applet is just a GUI interface to the underlying NM service. You can access/control it manually in a terminal with "nmcli"
[05:27] <allen> 他们比我们快8个小时吧
[05:27] <dengxinjun> Oh
[05:28] <dengxinjun> english only?
[05:28] <centaur5> TJ-, Good to know for future use. Thanks again!
[05:28] <dengxinjun> I'm chinese
[05:28] <TJ-> centaur5: and your 'all-users' interfaces are defined in text files under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
[05:29] <wmorri> dengxinjun, if speaking in chinese is easier for you try joining #ubuntu-cn.
[05:29] <TJ-> centaur5: so, if you get into serious problems with no GUI there are a couple of options (nmcli and manual text editor) to fix things up
[05:30] <SeriouslyLaugh> might help to direct him in his own language
[05:31] <allen> so hungry
[05:32] <dengxinjun> I'm hungry ,too
[05:33] <dengxinjun> I like eat....eat
[05:36] <TJ-> !ot | dengxinjun allen
[05:38] <dengxinjun> ok
[05:39] <AndChat406100> Jj
[05:41] <daftykins> !broadcom
[05:41] <guest69__> !broadcom
[05:42] <TJ-> !bcm | guest69__: I think the factoid is
[05:43] <daftykins> it's cool, ubottu just didn't repeat as it was so recent :)
[05:43] <TJ-> hmmm, oh, both work! Teach me to read a bit more
[05:54] <thoughtful_gobli> HI everyone, when i try to install any packages on ubuntu 12.04 I get 'Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages' errors. Does anyone know how to debug/fix this?
[05:54] <thoughtful_gobli> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b4429d3ae69a58809c4b
[05:56] <bencc1> can I su to root when I'm not in the sudoers list?
[05:56] <wmorri> thoughtful_gobli, have you tried running sudo apt-get update recently?
[05:57] <thoughtful_gobli> Yes, ran it just before and it ran without errors, I have also run sudo apt-get upgrade.
[05:57] <SeriouslyLaugh> thoughtful_gobli try running sudo apt-get -f install
[05:58] <SeriouslyLaugh> thoughtful_gobli read this thread http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies-after-adding-a-ppa
[05:58] <OerHeks> thoughtful_gobli, you'll need 2 packages in this order:> sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils
[05:58] <thoughtful_gobli> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6d07c062f36d188188a5 < it threw the same error
[05:58] <thoughtful_gobli> ok, reading though that now
[05:59]  * qu
[06:00] <SeriouslyLaugh> thoughtful_gobli also read this http://askubuntu.com/questions/451364/how-to-enable-exfat-in-ubuntu-14-04
[06:01] <thoughtful_gobli> Ok, Thank you. Oh apologies i should have said i am running ubuntu 12.04
[06:02] <SeriouslyLaugh> ok use this http://askubuntu.com/questions/100278/how-do-i-install-and-mount-an-exfat-partition
[06:05] <AlexQ> Fixed! After some dist-upgrade and installation of linux-generic. One problem remaining: gazziliions of crash messages about a previous kernel still appearing. How to get rid of that?
[06:06] <AlexQ> Probably cashed somewhere
[06:06] <Ben64> pastebin the errors
[06:06] <SeriouslyLaugh> AlexQ try to post a snippet of the exact errors
[06:07] <spilt_milk> what's up my ubuntoonians?
[06:08] <AlexQ> "System problem detected" appearing, which can't be true as they are all about a package "linux-image..(previous version that was problematic)"... Basically the messages that were appearing before I fixed the problem of missing linux-generic after upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10. So this looks like old messages appearing
[06:08] <jnesselr> spilt_milk: Trying to install ubuntu on an old mac mini. Pulling my hair out. The usual.
[06:08] <thoughtful_gobli> Thanks that was the one I was following. I have made a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list and run the "sudo apt-get clean" and "sudo apt-get autoclean" command but still have the same issue.
[06:08] <dave__> #test
[06:08] <thoughtful_gobli> if i attempt to install sudo apt-get -f install fuse-utils I get a more specific error: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/64f16339a4c0c3053fc9
[06:08] <SeriouslyLaugh> AlexQ run sudo rm /var/crash/*
[06:09] <AlexQ> SeriouslyLaugh: oo, yeah, I've been looking for that, but thought it was inside /var/log
[06:10] <jnesselr> So why does the ubuntu server iso keep trying to check for the cd-rom? It's not running off of a cd-rom.
[06:10] <SeriouslyLaugh> thoughtful_gobli you may have to purge exfat and reinstall using the PPA in the latest link i sent
[06:10] <SeriouslyLaugh> run sudo apt-get purge fuse-exfat exfat-utils
[06:11] <AlexQ> SeriouslyLaugh: Thanks
[06:11] <jnesselr> It's starting to get... irritating.
[06:11] <wmorri> jnesselr, are you talking about when it does a hardware check?
[06:11] <thoughtful_gobli> It looks like they have never been installed: "Package fuse-exfat is not installed, so not removed, Package exfat-utils is not installed, so not removed'
[06:12] <jnesselr> wmorri: When I'm trying to install, yes. I think it's looking for the install media.
[06:12] <SeriouslyLaugh> the run sudo apt-get clean
[06:12] <SeriouslyLaugh> then sudo apt-get autoremove
[06:12] <jnesselr> "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again."
[06:13] <jnesselr> But I'm not booting from the CD drive.
[06:14] <jnesselr> And when I try to mount /dev/sdb3 (the disk I put the installer on) onto /cdrom, it tells me that it's an Invalid Argument
[06:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> then install the ppa; sudo apt-add-repository ppa:relan/exfat
[06:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> then run sudo apt-get update
[06:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> then run sudo apt-get install fuse-exfat exfat-utils
[06:14] <SeriouslyLaugh> AlexQ sure thing
[06:15] <baiter> if you are running from cd rom, then you don't need to mount it
[06:15] <wmorri> jnesselr, this seems to be an issue, I am looking for a good solution.
[06:15] <baiter> it's already mounted, hence you can boot from it
[06:15] <SeriouslyLaugh> ok then just add the PPA above, update, and install that way
[06:15] <jnesselr> baiter: Sure, but this computer no longer has a functioning CD-ROM drive.
[06:15] <TJ-> jnesselr: that suggests the /etc/apt/sources.list has the original DVD/ISO archive entry not commented out
[06:16] <jnesselr> TJ-: What, on the ramdisk that's loaded right now?
[06:16] <baiter> ...
[06:16] <baiter> you are doing some strange stuff
[06:16] <baiter> why don't you just install it like normal people?
[06:16] <TJ-> jnesselr: check /etc/apt/sources.list, see if it has an "deb cdrom: ..." entry
[06:17] <AlexQ> night night'
[06:17] <jnesselr> TJ-: It's a ramdisk. There's literally no /etc/apt folder.
[06:17] <TJ-> jnesselr: otherwise, its another issue, which is the mounting of the LIVE ISO image to /cdrom/
[06:17] <baiter> ... what's a ramdisk?
[06:17] <jnesselr> baiter: It's not my fault I can't burn a CD and try it in this drive.
[06:17] <TJ-> jnesselr: the live env still has all the /etc/ files, its unpacked from a squashfs file system
[06:18] <baiter> you don't need a cd
[06:18] <baiter> to install it
[06:18] <baiter> you can install from usb
[06:18] <wmorri> TJ-, I think i found a solution, but I haven't had this problem so I don't know if it works. http://askubuntu.com/questions/593002/fail-to-install-ubuntu-server-14-04-64bit-lts-from-usb-drive
[06:18] <jnesselr> baiter: Which is where I'm at now.
[06:18] <jnesselr> Which is what's causing this error.
[06:19] <baiter> isn't there an option to install?
[06:19] <TJ-> baiter: the actual device doesn't matter; the hybrid ISO images are designed to work as if they were loaded from a DVD even if they start from a USB hard disk emulation
[06:20] <jnesselr> baiter: Yes. I hit install, go through the normal prompts, set up keyboard, etc. It then fails to detect the CD-ROM for the install media
[06:20] <TJ-> jnesselr: did you try the 'switch USB ports' trick so the device is re-mounted ?
[06:20] <baiter> so can't you skip it?
[06:21] <TJ-> baiter: no; it's a major fault. The ISO image disappears
[06:21] <jnesselr> TJ-: yes
[06:22] <TJ-> I used to see this a lot with SCSI-attached CD/DVD drives on servers. The installer expects them to be on ATA and if libata isn't involved, the device name isn't what the installer expects
[06:22] <jnesselr> I mean good grief, LFS gave me fewer issues than this computer is lol.
[06:23] <bhagath> can explain how to block usb data transfer
[06:24] <latrodectus> bhagath: http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/133-general-linux/727195-disable-a-enable-usb-from-terminal/
[06:25] <latrodectus> bhagath: also http://www.techrepublic.com/article/disable-usb-ports-to-prevent-unauthorized-data-transfers/
[06:26] <bindi> are there any problems to be expected if I want to dualboot ubuntu with win10 and bitlocker on a fakeraid? :-)
[06:26] <latrodectus> fakeraid?
[06:26] <latrodectus> bindi: so long as you partition your drive correctly i see no problems
[06:27] <bindi> fakeraid is kinda hardware raid but its software raid anyway, you know, motherboard raid
[06:27] <latrodectus> !partition | bindi
[06:27] <bindi> i know how to partition things but last time i installed on a fakeraid gparted showed everything 4 times (i have 4 disks in a raid0) but i got it installed anyway :P
[06:28] <latrodectus> well it probabily didn't register as one disk
[06:28] <OerHeks> usually bitlocker takes the whole drive..
[06:28] <jnesselr> BitLocker can get really weird with ubuntu systems.
[06:28] <bindi> I've shrunk the partition succesfully already
[06:28] <latrodectus> OerHeks: can't you have bitlocker take a partition
[06:29] <bindi> I would think that the free space wouldnt be encrypted.. that would be silly (or would it?)
[06:29] <OerHeks> bindi, one way to find out, boot the iso in live mode and see
[06:30] <latrodectus> bindi: it wouldn't be silly
[06:31] <TJ-> bindi: It depends on the fakeraid, GRUB boot-loader won't be able to use it, but the OS should do via either mdraid or dmraid
[06:31] <latrodectus> so long as you keep your secure shit on your secured drive, i see no problems with not using the full drive
[06:32] <TJ-> bindi: you'll need a separate device for GRUB to boot from
[06:32] <bindi> huh?
[06:32] <bindi> i've installed ubuntu on the same fakeraid before though and it booted
[06:32] <TJ-> bindi: also, 4 drives in RADID-0 is a recipe for disaster
[06:33] <bindi> 14.04 had some trouble with grub installation but i got it with fixboot or something, 15.04 did it on its own
[06:33] <bindi> no other boot devices in the system and it worked :P
[06:33] <bindi> TJ-: they're SSDs
[06:34] <bX> fuck
[06:34] <jnesselr> So just an update, I'm trying something a little weird. I pushed the install media on the internal sata and I'm also pushing it to the external drive.  RAID-0 (striping) means the first disk of the array must NOT store its fakeraid metadata at the beginning of the disk(s), and the partitioning must leave space for GRUB to install its core.img. GRUB will depend on the OROM of the FakeRAID controller for BIOS boot-time services, so it can only start in biosdisk mode, not nativedisk
[06:34] <bX> asu
[06:35] <bX> pejuh ngasu
[06:35] <bX> you stupid
[06:35] <jnesselr> well that was weird.
[06:36] <bindi> TJ-: what was luck exactly? :o
[06:36] <TJ-> bindi: GRUB often cannot find its core.img, or its root file-system, when fakeRAID is involved and its not a simple RAID-1 mirror config
[06:36] <slacking> bX#knapa bro
[06:37] <bindi> TJ-: right
[06:41] <jnesselr> BOOOM BABY THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
[06:43] <jnesselr> So, final solution for those curious: dd the iso to both the internal hard disk on a partion instead of the full disk, so the EFI stuff still plays nice, as well as to a usb disk. Then mount the usb disk to /cdrom through fstab. Profit. Maybe. Still trying to do the install. At least it recognizes the disk at this point.

[08:20] <eigart> auronandace: thanks !
[08:56] <ubuntu037> Good morning, I have just installed a brand new Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS on a server, the machine has 128gb of RAM 2x 300GB Hard Raided SSD's and a 2tb Sata drive on it, Also a e5 1650 v3 CPU. THe machine is currently idling and has been all night but the load avg is 1.04 1.05 1.05. Does anyone have any pointers into what I should look into to determine what's causing this?
[08:57] <TJ-> ubuntu037: Yes. Can you "pastebinit /proc/interrupts" ?
[08:57] <ubuntu037> yeh, one sec
[08:58] <freakyy> omg nice machine ;D
[08:58] <TJ-> ubuntu037: did you also install the hardware enablement stack?
[08:59] <ubuntu037> http://pastebin.com/2qBm4N0s
[08:59] <ubuntu037> sorry it's a little strange formatting... you might need to toggle some options
[08:59] <ubuntu037> ah no I did not, I'll install that one second
[09:00] <Guest63695> hello everybody
[09:00] <bekks> ubuntu037: After booting into your new kernel, you can take a look at powertop
[09:00] <TJ-> !ltse | ubuntu037
[09:01] <ubuntu037> I have just installed it, should I reboot or anything?
[09:01] <bekks> ubuntu037: You need to reboot, yes.
[09:02] <ubuntu037> ok great, one second then!
[09:02] <bekks> BEFORE you do:
[09:02] <ubuntu037> oops!
[09:02] <ubuntu037> to late haha
[09:02] <bekks> You should slow down.
[09:02] <bekks> Because you didnt do what you were told to do: investigate /proc/interrupts
[09:02] <bekks> After rebooting, its pointless to do that.
[09:02] <ubuntu037> I pasted it
[09:03] <TJ-> ubuntu037: also, what's the current "uptime" - so I can get an idea of how long it took achieve those totals
[09:03] <TJ-> ubuntu037: it's fine; reboot is good, no point diagnosing on an old kernel version
[09:03] <ubuntu037> Uptime was about 4 hours
[09:03] <ubuntu037> 24*
[09:03] <ubuntu037> I installed the system yesterday about this time...
[09:03] <TJ-> ubuntu037: right, so the LOC interrupt totals were quite high for that
[09:04] <ubuntu037> what is "LOC"?
[09:04] <TJ-> oh, maybe not so bad then!
[09:04] <TJ-> CPU-local interrupts
[09:04] <ubuntu037> thanks
[09:04] <TJ-> when the LAPIC fires (Local Advanced Programmable Interrupt Timer)
[09:05] <ubuntu037> when the machine boots the load is low, perhaps 0.2
[09:05] <ubuntu037> at first I thought it was top/htop reporting the wrong information or adding 1.00 to the correct number
[09:05] <TJ-> ubuntu037: generally the load average is due to internal kernel waiting, so it doesn't show up in any kind of process or I/O (disk, network) anaylsis.
[09:06] <bekks> Even 0.2 is quite high for an idling machine :)
[09:06] <ubuntu037> this is what I thought, the machine is replacing an older machine with a lesser CPU, no SSD's and Less RAM and that idles at 0.1
[09:06] <ubuntu037> + and it has a little traffic on it
[09:07] <TJ-> ubuntu037: it's not abnormal on a multi-core system like that to see a high load average
[09:07] <bekks> Sounds like the old machine would have been sufficient :)
[09:07] <ocnios> Hello
[09:08] <TJ-> ubuntu037: I've seen quite a few E5-1650s recently with the same
[09:08] <ubuntu037> the strange thing is that we have an identical machine (in terms of hardware) and software stack in our cluster and it's nowhere near this kind of load, even under strain
[09:08] <TJ-> ubuntu037: same mobo/firmware version?
[09:09] <ubuntu037> that I am not sure about unfortunately
[09:09] <ubuntu037> Machine has now rebooted, load is 1.07, htop reports no movement on the 12 CPU's
[09:09] <bekks> ubuntu037: So take a look at powertop.
[09:10] <ubuntu037> 0.7% on a random core every 5(ish) seconds or somehting
[09:10] <TJ-> ubuntu037: differences due to firmware/ACPI can often contribute. once it is booted looking at dmesg ouput you can get the mobo/firmware version with "dmesg | grep DMI:"
[09:10] <TJ-> ubuntu037: is it a HA cluster?
[09:11] <TJ-> ubuntu037: '5ish seconds' sounds like a write-back cache flush
[09:11] <ubuntu037> what am I looking for in `powertop` ?
[09:11] <bekks> ubuntu037: The output :)
[09:12] <ubuntu037> ++ :)
[09:12] <ubuntu037> Summary: 109.3 wakeups/second,  0.0 GPU ops/seconds, 0.0 VFS ops/sec and 1.4% CPU use
[09:12] <TJ-> ubuntu037: check the idle stats
[09:12] <bekks> ubuntu037: Thats just one line of the output.
[09:12] <ubuntu037> shall I pastebin?
[09:12] <TJ-> ubuntu037: if it is truely idling, the C3 percentage should be over 80%
[09:12] <TJ-> yes please
[09:12] <ubuntu037> http://pastebin.com/JZG9DYB5
[09:13] <ubuntu037> C6-HSW     99.3%
[09:14] <bekks> ubuntu037: C6 with almost 100% is ok.
[09:15] <ubuntu037> this is the "Tunables" tab http://pastebin.com/PE0chfxa
[09:15] <TJ-> ubuntu037: that looks fine, C6 is a deeper sleep state... but that might be the reason, because deeper sleep state == longer latencies
[09:16] <ubuntu037> http://pastebin.com/TeGpHN4G <--- Device Stats tab
[09:16] <bekks> powertop is designed to tell show you whats going on regarding power consumption
[09:17] <TeoD360> hi all
[09:18] <TJ-> ubuntu037: which CPU idle governor is operating?
[09:18] <ubuntu037> Sorry, how do I find that out?
[09:18] <ubuntu037> (I'm a programmer not a kernel guy :/ )
[09:19] <TJ-> ubuntu037: "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor"
[09:20] <ubuntu037> about 10 lines all stating "Performance"
[09:20] <ubuntu037> 12 lines perhaps (make sense for the 12 cores)
[09:21] <ubuntu037> sorry I have to go for a minute, my new born is crying very loudly!
[09:21] <TJ-> ubuntu037: that's correct
[09:23] <ren0v0> ok i've asked this over and over to no response
[09:23] <ren0v0> my software updater keeps telling me there are updates
[09:23] <ren0v0> but i've set it to notify me "never"
[09:24] <cfhowlett> ren0v0, open a terminal: sudo apt-get update  | nc termbin.com 9999
[09:24] <cfhowlett> paste the url here.
[09:25] <ren0v0> cfhowlett, what does repository lists have to do with software updater asking me to update?
[09:25] <ren0v0> i have "automatically check for updates" set to *never*
[09:26] <cfhowlett> ren0v0, this will display exactly what is seeking the update - something that would be helpful to know
[09:26] <cfhowlett> ren0v0, I'd bet/hope you did not disable automatic security upgrades
[09:27] <ren0v0> cfhowlett, wait, so its not possible to turn this off via GUI? (security)
[09:28] <cfhowlett> ren0v0, it IS possible but you are rather guessing at this point.  get the information and then you'll know.  sudo apt-get update ONLY displays what is requesting update.  it downloads/installs nothing
[09:28] <ren0v0> i can see what packages, they are security updates likely right
[09:28] <ren0v0> i want to turn this off
[09:28] <ren0v0> so i'll find out how, thanks
[09:29] <cfhowlett> ren0v0, you want to turn off SECURITY?  unwise ...
[09:29] <ren0v0> yes
[09:29] <ren0v0> i'm in the terminal 95% of the time so its fine
[09:29] <TJ-> ren0v0: there's a difference between a GUI component notifying you, and actually checking for the updates. It sounds like your problem is the former ?
[09:29] <ren0v0> TJ-, yup
[09:30] <TJ-> ren0v0: which ubuntu release, and which DE (Unity) ?
[09:30] <ren0v0> sound it  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
[09:30] <ren0v0> found*
[09:30] <cfhowlett> nicely done!
[09:30] <TJ-> ren0v0: that's for *applying* updates
[09:30] <ren0v0> hmm
[09:31] <ren0v0> well its currently not commented out, and it doesn't "automatically" install, it asks me, so still not the right file?
[09:32] <TJ-> ren0v0: I'd suspect you're getting notifications due to 99update-notifier
[09:32] <AvatarA> huh, unattended does not ask
[09:32] <AvatarA> that's why it's unattended
[09:32] <TJ-> ren0v0: but even then, the GUI will just check the file that script touches, so the GUI component is still the issue
[09:34] <ren0v0> its odd, i've been running 14.04 for ages and recently reinstalled, i dont remember ever getting these popups, ever
[09:35] <AvatarA> getting those popups is default behavior for ubuntu 14
[09:35] <ren0v0> there aren't even any packages to install via cli lol
[09:36] <ren0v0> 2 kept back
[09:36] <ren0v0> ok stuff it, at least i'm on the right track i'll deal with it nother day, thanks
[09:36] <cfhowlett> ren0v0, eh, might want to check that with a simulation: apt-get -s dist-upgrades
[09:37] <cfhowlett> dist-upgrade
[09:38] <TJ-> ren0v0: setting may be somewhere like $HOME/.gconf/apps/update-notifier/%gconf.xml
[09:41] <TJ-> ren0v0: last answer here seems to confirm the 99update-notifier suggestion http://askubuntu.com/questions/218755/how-to-disable-the-update-manager-popup
[09:51] <ubuntu037> sorry about that, seems my son likes to cry A LOT!
[09:54] <ubuntu037> so is it less likely to be software (kernel) and more likely to be a hardware issue?
[09:57] <ubuntu037> Regarding the Mobo / Firmware, they're different on both machines
[10:03] <TJ-> ubuntu037: which one is on older firmware?
[10:03] <TJ-> ubuntu037: or, do you mean the mobos are different?
[10:06] <rugsey> hey, how do i install a windows .iso on a bootable drive FROM a linux system? i'm a newbie, please help haha
[10:08] <cfhowlett> rugsey, short answer: you don't.  get a windows machine, make your windows USB and install away
[10:08] <cfhowlett> rugsey, for further assistance, ask ##windows
[10:08] <TJ-> rugsey: if the ISO image is hybrid bootable, and you are targeting a USB mass storage device, "dd if=path/to/windows.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=100M conv=fdatasync,fsync"
[10:09] <rugsey> thank you very much....
[10:09] <TJ-> rugsey: if you want to *execute* the windows.iso and whilst it is running, install Windows to a disk device, then use a virtual machine
[10:10] <cfhowlett> this ^^
[10:10] <rafibd01717> ping
[10:10] <rugsey> sweet, thank you
[10:10] <cfhowlett> !test | rafibd01717
[10:10] <rafibd01717> what is the command to install vagrant on Ubuntu 14?
[10:11] <rafibd01717> and install virtualbox on ubuntu?
[10:12] <ubuntu037> TJ- : the new machine is the newer firmware
[10:12] <ubuntu037> I'm just trying to boot into a rescue kernel to see if the loads are the same
[10:14] <bekks> ubuntu037: How does that help in debugging?
[10:14] <autoit> hey guys! i have dual boot setup in my pc.but when i boot into ubuntu my hdd seems to make audible clicking sounds. when i opena folder i can distinctively hear it. but when i boot into windows it disappears. i have checked the smart attributes and they are all good. any help?
[10:15] <rafibd01717> I am using ubuntu 14.04LTS and want to upgrade it to 15.10. How can I upgrade it?
[10:15] <cfhowlett> autoit, audible clicking?  Nope, I wouldn't trust that hardware no matter what smart attributes is telling you.
[10:16] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, 14.04 >> 14.10 >> 15.04 >> 15.10
[10:16] <cfhowlett> or clean install 15.10
[10:16] <bekks> autoit: so show us the smart attributes i a pastebin.
[10:16] <autoit> cfhowlett: it disappears in windows completely
[10:16] <autoit> bekks: one moment
[10:17] <rafibd01717> cfhowlett: you mean I need to upgrade in this looooong way!!!
[10:17] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, you asked how.  I explained both options
[10:17] <bekks> autoit: It disappears in Windows because Windows uses different areas on your disk.
[10:17] <rafibd01717> I dont want to do clean install
[10:17] <rafibd01717> it would require downloading a big iso
[10:17] <bekks> rafibd01717: Then you need to upgrade that long way.
[10:18] <rafibd01717> hm
[10:18] <rafibd01717> very bad
[10:18] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, then you have to do the incremental installs I described.  OR wait for 16.04 :    14.04 will directly upgrade to 16.04
[10:18] <bekks> rafibd01717: And upgrading will require even a lot more downloading.
[10:18] <cfhowlett> and 14.04 IS still supported
[10:18] <MonkeyDust> rafibd01717  bith ways take a long time, choose the easiest, which is fresh install
[10:18] <rafibd01717> hm
[10:18] <MonkeyDust> both*
[10:19] <rafibd01717> actually not a good way for people from 3rd world countries.
[10:19] <rafibd01717> we pay huge amount for every MB than developed country users
[10:19] <bekks> rafibd01717: 14.04 is supported untile 2019.
[10:19] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, why do you suddenly need to upgrade?  14.04 still works and is still supported
[10:19] <rafibd01717> bekks: good to know
[10:20] <rafibd01717> just wanted be to updated
[10:20] <MonkeyDust> rafibd01717  i live in a 'rich' country and am still using 14.04 too
[10:20] <rafibd01717> actually I don't have any problem with 14
[10:20] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, sudo apt full-upgrade            will get you updated
[10:21] <rafibd01717> what does this command do actually?
[10:21] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, 14.04 >>> 14.04.3
[10:21] <rafibd01717> hm
[10:21] <rafibd01717> thanks
[10:21] <rafibd01717> well anyone know how can i install virtualbox on ubuntu?
[10:22] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, sudo apt install virtualbox
[10:22] <rafibd01717> thanks guy
[10:22] <rafibd01717> from .deb file what should be the command?
[10:23] <rafibd01717> sudo apt-get installl something.deb?
[10:23] <cfhowlett> virtualbox is in the repos.  why are you mucking about with out of repo debs?
[10:24] <rafibd01717> because in this way I can install vbox in my another machine without downloading it again and again.
[10:24] <rafibd01717> as said I need to pay huge amount for every MB
[10:24] <rafibd01717> not talking about GB even in 2015 yet talking about MB
[10:24] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, where did you find this .deb?
[10:25] <rafibd01717> virtualbox.org provides i386.de
[10:25] <rafibd01717> i386.deb
[10:26] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, you have a 386 system?
[10:26] <rafibd01717> I have a 32bit machine
[10:26] <cfhowlett> sudo dpkg -i foo.deb
[10:27] <rafibd01717> dpkg means what? and thanks for the help. :)
[10:28] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, in your terminal:   man dpkg                 and read
[10:28] <autoit> these are the smart attributes: http://pastebin.com/DsKZZxJk the drive only makes noise in ubuntu and not in windows.
[10:28] <MonkeyDust> rafibd01717  dpkg meand debian package
[10:28] <ashraf> sudo dpkg -i DEB_PACKAGE
[10:29] <ashraf> it's for package installation
[10:29] <rafibd01717> okay
[10:29] <autoit> bekks: i have posted the pastebin
[10:30] <ubuntu037> Ok so the top is still at 1.00 in a rescue kernel so it's probably hardware based?
[10:30] <rafibd01717> to completely remove a package again what should be the command?
[10:31] <ashraf> sudo dpkg -r PACKAGE_NAME
[10:32] <MonkeyDust> rafibd01717  i'm curious, in which country are you
[10:32] <rafibd01717> ashraf bhai bangladeshi naki? :)
[10:32] <ashraf> hmm, :-)
[10:32] <rafibd01717> MonkeyDust: from BD
[10:32] <autoit> cfhowlett: i have posted the smart attributes
[10:33] <cfhowlett> autoit, I'm blind to pastebinit.com because China ...
[10:34] <autoit> anybody else can help? hdd is making noise in ubuntu but not in windows. smart attributes ok
[10:34] <rafibd01717> where should I install .deb packages? In Home? What is the best practice?
[10:35] <MonkeyDust> autoit  define noises, which ubuntu version, did it work before etc
[10:36] <cfhowlett> rafibd01717, dpkg -i should direct it to its proper location without your intervention
[10:36] <rafibd01717> I see
[10:36] <autoit> ubuntu 14.04 hdd has never failed till now. noise is like... heads are clicking against something... i dont know how to describe it
[10:36] <autoit> like normal read opeartion but louder
[10:37] <autoit> it goes away completely in windows
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> autoit  when did it start, what has changed
[10:38] <rafibd01717> well I am getting errors..
[10:38] <rafibd01717> softeng@softeng:~/virtualbox$ sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-5.0_5.0.10-104061~Ubuntu~trusty_i386.deb dpkg: considering removing virtualbox in favour of virtualbox-5.0 ... dpkg: no, cannot proceed with removal of virtualbox (--auto-deconfigure will help):  virtualbox-qt depends on virtualbox (= 4.3.10-dfsg-1ubuntu5)   virtualbox is to be removed.  dpkg: regarding virtualbox-5.0_5.0.10-104061~Ubuntu~trusty_i386.deb containing virtualbox
[10:38] <whothehellami> hi, I am not sure if this issue is hardware related but I don't think so... I have a dual boot system with win and ubuntu 15.04 and grub is starting rly slow and needs about 3 sec for recognising my input. after selecting an entry it is also loading very slow
[10:38] <autoit> since the first time i booted into ubuntu. it has always been like this. earlier i ignored it. but it became irritating. noise levels have not changed since when i first installed ubuntu
[10:39] <TJ-> autoit: that sounds like the drive is resetting. check 'dmesg' for I/O errors.
[10:40] <autoit> there seem to be none.
[10:41] <rafibd01717> I think I need to clean my old virtualbox first right?
[10:41] <rafibd01717> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13392254/
[10:41] <autoit> the sound comes when there is a read/write op. because when i open a folder i can hear it or when i save a file
[10:42] <autoit> MonkeyDust: anything?
[10:43] <rafibd01717> so how can I remove my old virtualbox?
[10:44] <wmorri> rafibd01717, have you tried to use sudo apt-get autoremove virtualbox?
[10:44] <rafibd01717> no. trying
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> autoit  is it old hardware, maybe? which windows is on it?
[10:45] <wmorri> whothehellami, does it happen with you choose both ubuntu and windows options?
[10:45] <rafibd01717> wmorri: is this command used to remove all packages installed from remote?
[10:46] <autoit> its win8. hardware is not old 2 years at max. plus there is the fact as soon as i boot into windows it goes away
[10:47] <TJ-> autoit: OK, I think you'll need to use hdparm to set the head-retract timeout, or disable the agressive power management
[10:48] <wmorri> rafibd01717, you can use it to remove all packages that are no longer needed or to remove one package and the dependencies as far a I know.
[10:48] <TJ-> autoit: I've seen these issues occasionally with some drives, not quite sure what triggers it
[10:48] <autoit> i read about setting the power management to 255. but i was afraid it will affect normal drive operation in windows as well
[10:48] <rafibd01717> hm
[10:49] <rafibd01717> wmorri: do I need to restart pc after removing packages?
[10:49] <wmorri> rafibd01717, no.
[10:49] <whothehellami> wmorri, I  need to check this.
[10:49] <wmorri> whothehellami, okay
[10:49] <autoit> will using hdparm not affect drive operations in windows
[10:50] <wmorri> rafibd01717, if you need an exact definition for autoremove just run the command man apt-get and scroll down.
[10:50] <rafibd01717> hm
[10:51] <MonkeyDust> autoit  ubuntu and windows work independentally, unluss you used wubi
[10:51] <MonkeyDust> unless*
[10:51] <autoit> but the hard disk is same. and i just checked power management seems to be off for my hdd
[10:52] <amburger> is it possible to make compton show shadow only for popup windows, like reverse exclude-shadow setting
[10:53] <whothehellami> wmorri, after selecting windows inside the grub menu I see a screen with the grub colour for about 4-5 sec
[10:53] <whothehellami> wmorri, this should not take that long?
[10:54] <wmorri> whothehellami, not normally it should boot right away.
[10:56] <whothehellami> wmorri. also I am wondering about the time needed before the selected entry moves if I move with the arrow keys the first time
[10:56] <hunterzeroxxx> hello friend
[10:57] <nikolam> I have an user not using Unity desktop. What is alternative desktop search option that one can use and has an GUI for search results (A la Windows Viste/7+ disk search) ?
[10:58] <wmorri> whothehellami, I don't know enough about grub to know the answer to that. I am going to look and see if there is a log file that can help us.
[10:58] <cfhowlett> nikolam, Ms. Cleo has the night off, so you'll have to actually tell what desktop he IS using.
[10:59] <nikolam> Xfce cfhowlett  and ther is catfish but afraid not best solution?
[10:59] <nikolam> also it would need some indexing before search I suppose
[10:59] <hunterzeroxxx> hello i am hunter
[11:00] <cfhowlett> hunterzeroxxx, this is ubuntu support.  stay on topic or chitchat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:00] <hunterzeroxxx> yes i am ubuntu user
[11:00] <wmorri> whothehellami, what version of ubuntu are you loading into?
[11:01] <hunterzeroxxx> who use gnome here ?
[11:01] <whothehellami> wmorri, 15.04 with 3.19.0-33-generic
[11:01] <cfhowlett> hunterzeroxxx, wrong question.  describe YOUR problem on YOUR computer.
[11:01] <amburger> nikolam: google find locate linux ,it's not gui
[11:01] <hunterzeroxxx> ok
[11:01] <wmorri> whothehellami, thank you
[11:01] <MonkeyDust> nikolam  there's something called 'docky' or so, search tool, i'm lookng...
[11:01] <nikolam> amburger, I know find, locate , needs GUI
[11:02] <hunterzeroxxx> i have not a problem in my ubuntu i jut want chat with people
[11:02] <cfhowlett> hunterzeroxxx, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:02] <hunterzeroxxx> ok
[11:03] <dahui> Hi all... i'm getting sometimes problems with my wifi (intel centrino advanced 6235).. sometimes it doesn't connect and then i reboot the OS and starts working again.. I did two sollutions that I find (http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/322-ubuntu-trusty-intel-centrino-6235-slow-freeze and I install this driver https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi) but I just want to know if has any definition on this sollution because it's not
[11:03] <stefano> salve a tutti
[11:04] <wmorri> cfhowlett, if you have a minute could you help whothehellami? He is having sloow boot times like 3-4 seconds from grub and I am just not finding anything to help him.
[11:04] <stefano> per avere una lista buona di iptv cm si fa
[11:04] <cfhowlett> wmorri, I had an eye on that, but I have not knowledge of his issue.  sorry
[11:04] <cfhowlett> !it | stefano
[11:05] <wmorri> cfhowlett, okay I will keep digging.
[11:05] <stefano> ok grazie
[11:06] <whothehellami> wmorri, what I can see with dmesg is not related to that issue because dmesg shows what happens after grub?
[11:07] <amburger> nikolam: http://linux.die.net/man/1/gnome-search-tool ?
[11:07] <wmorri> whothehellami, yes i beleive so.
[11:12] <wmorri> whothehellami, I would have a look in /var/log/syslog. It will give you a ton of information look for anything to do with grub or booting.
[11:16] <wmorri> dahui,hi have you looked at the wifi touble shooting guide yet? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[11:18] <dahui> wmorri: nops.. i never see this link.. i directly search sollution for my problem specific
[11:19] <dahui> what i find is that these new kernels are having problems with this wifi card
[11:19] <dahui> i don't know if this is possible.. becausa sometimes is working (like right now)
[11:21] <wmorri> dahui, if you think that it might be a bug then I would look at reporting a bug. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[11:22] <dahui> wmorri: i was thinking to install a debian distro just to confirme if they are having this problem..
[11:23] <jibon> how can I install virtualbox on ubuntu?
[11:23] <cfhowlett> jibon, sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[11:25] <wmorri> dahui, ubuntu is based on debian.
[11:25] <jibon_> hey $sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms line is required to install vbox?
[11:25] <jibon_> sorry I got dc
[11:26] <jibon_> aaa
[11:27] <rugsey> where can i download a clean windows 7 iso? mine isn't working for some reason, says it is preactivated
[11:27] <bekks> rugsey: Ask the Microsoft sales support.
[11:27] <MonkeyDust> rugsey  ##windows
[11:28] <bekks> rugsey: This is the totally wrong place for it.
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> rugsey  type    /j ##windows
[11:28] <jibon_> bekks: can you remember me?
[11:28] <bekks> jibon_: Sure.
[11:28] <rugsey> i'm installing it on virtualbox
[11:28] <jibon_> I am asking to know vbox installation on Ubuntu
[11:28] <bekks> rugsey: Doesnt matter.
[11:28] <bekks> jibon_: You have been told twice already.
[11:29] <jibon_> bekks: I got a dc
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> what's a dc
[11:29] <jibon_> can you please copy paste the lines?
[11:29] <jibon_> disconnected
[11:29] <bekks> jibon_: sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[11:30] <jibon_> ok from where you usually download boxes?
[11:30] <bekks> From nowhere. You install them yourself.
[11:30] <jibon_> I want to install centos server and a mac latest os
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> jibon_  stop
[11:30] <bekks> jibon_: So do it.
[11:31] <bekks> jibon_: Do you own Apple hardware?
[11:31] <jibon_> no
[11:31] <jibon_> will it not run on a hp machine?
[11:31] <bekks> jibon_: It is illegal then.
[11:32] <jibon_> hm
[11:32] <whothehellami> wmorri, I don't know if this is a problem but inside syslog one of the first lines is "ureadahead[213]: ureadahead:/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-352_hybrid.conf: file or directory not found"
[11:32] <whothehellami> wmorri, but I purged nvidia* some time ago
[11:33] <Sohron> hello fellow ubuntuites :p
[11:33] <wmorri> whothehellami, are you still using the nvidia card?
[11:34] <Sohron> is anyone here having playback problems with spotify-client?
[11:34] <Sohron> like a song in the middle of a playlist seemingly randomly just won't start to play...
[11:35] <Sohron> play/pause doesn't help at least
[11:35] <quest9> hi
[11:36] <Sohron> i know the linux version is just a preview, but still
[11:36] <whothehellami> wmorri, no drivers are installed so I don't think so. I wanted to install one but after that I got a black screen after rebooting so I've purged the nvidia stuff.
[11:37] <Sohron> whothehellami: can you get to single-user mode with nvidia drivers installed? if so i have fixed some nvidia issues by reinstalling the drivers...
[11:37] <whothehellami> wmorri, as far as I can remember I had this grub problem after a fresh installation of ubuntu (and windows)
[11:38] <whothehellami> Sohron, sry I don't know what exactly u mean with "single-user mode with nvidia drivers installed"
[11:39] <wmorri> Sohron, I think that you answered your own question saying that it is a preview. things will break.
[11:40] <Sohron> wmorri: yeps
[11:40] <CronX3r> d
[11:40] <jibon_> hm
[11:40] <Sohron> whothehellami: you can boot to single user by editing the grub commandline before boot
[11:41] <Sohron> whothehellami: it's a non-graphical root shell
[11:42] <Sohron> whothehellami: so proprietary nvidia drivers won't be in the way, at least i've had it working
[11:43] <whothehellami> Sohron, stopping the X server is not sufficient?
[11:44] <wmorri> Sohron, so i have been trying to help whothehellami with his really slow load times out of grub. He wasn't sure if the nvidia message might have something to do with it. I just wanted to get you up to speed.
[11:44] <Sohron> whothehellami: i've had no luck doing anything when nvidia drivers are making trouble and booting to X
[11:45] <Sohron> wmorri: ah so, okay
[11:45] <Sohron> whothehellami: i don't think grub knows anything about nvidia drivers
[11:46] <whothehellami> Sohron, yes I think the nvidia driver problem has nothing to do with the loading time after selecting something inside grub. especially if this is also happening if I want to start windows
[11:47] <Sohron> indeed whothehellami
[11:48] <rgautam98> When i reboot my pc, it tells me that there is an error in the / directory in the tmp directory. Can anybody tell me what this is.
[11:48] <Sohron> rgautam98: what is the error message actually?
[11:49] <rgautam98> It says that there is an in the / directory
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> rgautam98  the exact error message can help find a solution
[11:50] <rgautam98> And when i hit f it says there is an error in /tmp directory
[11:50] <rgautam98> Thats all it said
[11:50] <Sohron> hmmm...
[11:50] <rgautam98> Now my pc is taking a long time to boot
[11:50] <Sohron> rgautam98: is /tmp a separate partition?
[11:50] <rgautam98> No
[11:51] <wmorri> rgautam98, a long time like 30 seconds or 5 minutes?
[11:51] <Sohron> well, i've not met this problem rgautam98 and the error message is very vague :(
[11:51] <rgautam98> I have restarted it
[11:51] <rgautam98> The pc
[11:52] <wmorri> okay rgautam98
[11:52] <rgautam98> It is checking for errors now
[11:53] <wmorri> whothehellami, to get back to your issue, I would keep looking for anything that has to do with grub or booting in syslog.
[11:54] <fsociety[00]dat> hi #ubuntu :) is it possible to export system-wide font setting from an other Ubuntu based distro and use it for other distros? ( for Xubuntu example )
[11:54] <wmorri> fsociety[00]dat, you want to use the ubuntu font on Xubuntu?
[11:55] <cfhowlett> fsociety[00]dat, you can install fonts to buntu distros
[11:55] <fsociety[00]dat> wmorri: no, I want to use Trisquel GNU/Linux system-wide font setting for Xubuntu.
[11:55] <rgautam98> It is working fine now
[11:56] <rgautam98> Even i find the error a little vague
[11:56] <rgautam98> But thank you for your support
[11:56] <fsociety[00]dat> cfhowlett: to install is not important for me. settings are important.
[11:56] <TJ-> whothehellami: the best way to debug that is to first identify if the issue is with GRUB loading the vmlinuz and initrd.img kernel files into memory, or if the issue is caused whilst the kernel is initialising, or the initrd.img scripts are running.
[11:56] <cfhowlett> fsociety[00]dat, install the font.  edit your settings.  done.
[11:57] <TJ-> whothehellami: to do that, edit the kernel command-line in GRUB and remove any "quiet splash" and add "debug" so the kernel provides lots of feedback on the console.
[11:59] <whothehellami> TJ-, ok I'll do that
[12:00] <fsociety[00]dat> cfhowlett: if I do this manually screen font qualities and sizes not seem same. I have small netbook screen and especially firefox fonts are the best I have ever seen in Trisquel GNU/Linux .
[12:00] <cfhowlett> fsociety[00]dat, so install those fonts ...
[12:00] <fsociety[00]dat> cfhowlett: thanks
[12:01] <cfhowlett> fsociety[00]dat, but pretty sure yo can't install settings from a foreign distro
[12:02] <fsociety[00]dat> cfhowlett: Trisquel GNU/Linux is Ubuntu based and FSF supported distro, you know.
[12:02] <cfhowlett> fsociety[00]dat, true ...
[12:05] <ola42> hi guys, I'm running ubuntu 14.04 LTS based LXLE and I'm unable to hibernate it with sudo pm-hibernate can anyone help ??
[12:05] <cfhowlett> !lxle | ola42, nope
[12:24] <taavi90> Hello. My screen goes off after i lock my computer..how can i set it to stay on permamently?
[12:26] <loa> taavi90, change this it setting, where power managment i think.
[12:26] <taavi90> loa : it doesnt help.
[12:26] <wmorri> taavi90, I think you can change that in the brightness & lock.
[12:27] <loa> strange.
[12:27] <taavi90> wmorri : yeah, i tried that too. It doesnt help
[12:27] <taavi90> I googled and found various of options
[12:27] <taavi90> Still nothing
[12:27] <taavi90> I´m on 14.04
[12:28] <whothehellami> TJ-, wmorri, I've added 'debug' and removed 'quiet spalsh'. I think that the IBM TrackPoint needs some time...
[12:28] <wmorri> taavi90, if you set your screen to never turn off, and your lock to say 5 minutes that doesn't work.
[12:29] <loa> taavi90, https://askubuntu.com/questions/15520/how-can-i-tell-ubuntu-to-do-nothing-when-i-close-my-laptop-lid
[12:29] <loa> ah i missed again.
[12:29] <taavi90> I dont have laptop...i have PC
[12:30] <rgautam98> taavi90: you can do it in the following way
[12:30] <rgautam98> go to system settings
[12:30] <wmorri> whothehellami, you have moved beyond my skill level.
[12:30] <rgautam98> go to brightness and lock
[12:31] <taavi90> rgautam98 : yes..
[12:31] <rgautam98> in the tab "Turn screen off when inactive for"
[12:32] <whothehellami> wmorri, ok. anyway thanks for helping
[12:32] <rgautam98> put it to never
[12:32] <taavi90> rgautam98 : i do have it on never
[12:33] <rgautam98> tavi90: and still the screen turns off ?
[12:33] <wmorri> whothehellami, wait for TJ- or MonkeyDust and they might have more information than I. Hope you figure it out.
[12:37] <TJ-> whothehellami: was there a long pause during kernel start-up then?
[12:38] <whothehellami> TJ-, is there a way to step through the start-up process?
[12:38] <TJ-> whothehellami: not easily, no. When the kernel is discovering hardware that's all automatic.
[12:39] <taavi90> rgautam98 : yes
[12:39] <taavi90> rgautam98 : it doesnt work
[12:39] <whothehellami> TJ-, after changing to debug and booting. I think what took longest was the TrackPoint thing. I'll copy related dmesg output..
[12:39] <taavi90> after i lock my screen it immedinately starts to fade
[12:40] <TJ-> whothehellami: the kernel initialises the hardware, then executes the /init shell script in the initialramfs (initrd.img file) which ensures the root file-system is available and mounted, and then it pivots to the root file-system and executes the /sbin/init as process ID 1, which brings the system up fully
[12:45] <theptr> hi someone who nows how to make the icons on ubuntu desktop 14.04 by default smaller ? i found some guides but non of them work
[12:49] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:49] <MonkeyDust> theptr  you can do it in dconf-editor
[12:51] <whothehellami> TJ-, http://pastebin.com/PCJ6qCXG with quiet spalsh I see a 'violet' screen after selecting an entry also after selecting windows. I can see this screen for a few seconds before login screen appears or windows loading screen what made me thought that this is not as it should be. with 'debug' it seems like the TrackPoint causes that issue because this takes some seconds before I can login
[12:57] <nonamae> Hi! Is there an alternate version of 15.10. If there is I cannot find it. I am trying to do a software raid install, and the howto says I will need ubuntu alternate for that. Maybe I should go with the server version? Thanx!
[12:57] <nonamae> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[12:57] <MonkeyDust> theptr  in dconf-editor, try   org.gnome.nautilus.icon-view
[12:57] <whothehellami> TJ-, should I see a screen with grub colour after selecting windows? I am not sure any more if this an issue at all but I am used to use a faster grub with less delay
[12:58] <cfhowlett> !alternate | nonamae
[12:59] <swengin> I'm running a long running process(import script) in a remote machine that might take days to be completed is there a way to have it running without it being interrupted by my network connection?
[12:59] <swengin> I'm doing that using ssh it's an ec2 instance
[13:00] <MonkeyDust> swengin  sounds like a 'ssh keepalive' issue
[13:00] <MonkeyDust> swengin  also consider using 'screen'... the process would continue even after ssh was disconnected
[13:01] <swengin> MonkeyDust ok thank you so much

[13:14] <rory> shan: or you can do it all in one with this command, which will give you a URL to share in this channel: netstat -tulpn | nc rory.sh 9999
[13:15] <andrea_> hello
[13:16] <shan> i'll try
[13:17] <Li> I even install winusb to create bootable windows usb but it's not working here is the errors I'm http://imgur.com/edit
[13:18] <rory> Li: try again with that picture
[13:18] <rory> Li: that url isn't quite right
[13:19] <vi2nano> dd has always worked fine for me
[13:19] <pukapy>  /msg NickServ identify 118932
[13:19] <Li> rory: http://imgur.com/ZAIaEVf
[13:19] <pukapy> hiii
[13:19] <rory> awkward
[13:19] <pukapy> what have i done
[13:20] <Li> vi2nano: I spend the whole day with dd trying to make windows 7 or 8 bootable usb
[13:20] <rory> Li: run it as root
[13:20] <Li> tried all possible combination which I'm already used to do before!!!
[13:20] <rory> Li: it says "permission denied"
[13:20] <Li> rory: I do everything with sudo
[13:21] <vi2nano> Don't run it as root. just chown the dir
[13:21] <Li> what dir?  Are you trying to install to /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc ?
[13:24] <rory> Li: It seems to be contradictory
[13:24] <Li> both are usb sticks and I tried on both of them
[13:24] <Li> both are newly formated with cfdisk
[13:24] <rory> Li: have you tried with unetbootin? Has always worked for me http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html

[13:28] <deviloper> cfhowlett: thanks :)
[13:28] <MrKeuner> hi, using LTS I have to enter my private key pass each time I need to use my key. How can I have my system ask it only once each login?
[13:28] <Li> rory: I tried but it doesn't recognize the usb drive
[13:29] <Li> s
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> MrKeuner  what's the difference between a key and a private key?
[13:29] <rory> Li: so you (a) formatted as ntfs, (b) selected the "show all drives" option in UNetbootin ?
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> MrKeuner  key to do or use what?
[13:31] <MrKeuner> key is private key
[13:32] <vi2nano> I could never get Unetbootin to work properly for me so I've learned to live without it
[13:32] <MrKeuner> for instance I have my remote server do rsa key authentication and if I login 5 times, I am asked for rsa key pass 5 times
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> MrKeuner  you mean ssh?
[13:33] <MrKeuner> MonkeyDust, yes
[13:33] <vi2nano> bootable iso's generally have their own bootloader in the image so you shouldn't need to install grub or other bootloader with one of those tools.
[13:33] <vi2nano> You can just unmount the drive and remount with the -w option and dd the file to the drive
[13:34] <Li> are there any images upload sites than this imgur?
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> MrKeuner  i guess you have to enter your password for sudo and then the remote password... an rsa key should make you able to login over ssh without ssh-key
[13:35] <Li> rory: yes .. unetbootin doesn't display any connected usb drives
[13:35] <Li> rory: even though they are appearing in the file browser normally
[13:36] <Li> rory: check this screenshot http://prntscr.com/958pvt
[13:36] <TJ-> MrKeuner: sounds like you need yo have ssh-agent running
[13:37] <Li> if choose type hard drive then the drive combobox is enabled .. otherwise disabled
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> MrKeuner  http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Use-RSA-Key-for-SSH-Authentication-38599.shtml
[13:37] <MrKeuner> TJ-, I think so, do I change some /etc file to run bash that way each time?
[13:37] <TJ-> MrKeuner: A regular install should enable ssh-agent for the log-in session automatically
[13:38] <MrKeuner> TJ-, are you on LTS?
[13:38] <TJ-> MrKeuner: you may need to call ssh-add once to cache the private key's pass-phrase
[13:38] <vi2nano> Li: have to tried to just unmount and remount with the -w option
[13:38] <TJ-> MrKeuner: I'm using 15.10 and 14.04 here
[13:39] <MrKeuner> oh, you mean regular ssh-agent install or, regular LTS install?
[13:39] <TJ-> MrKeuner: as in any Ubuntu install should install, and enable, ssh-agent for log-in sessions, whether at a console or via a display manager X session
[13:40] <TJ-> MrKeuner: check if its running to begin with: "pgrep ssh-agent"
[13:40] <Li> vi2nano: no
[13:40] <Li> vi2nano: I mounted with remount,rw
[13:41] <vi2nano> Li: I would try to umount and mkdir like /mnt/usbdrive and mount -w /dev/sdc
[13:42] <vi2nano> Li: mkdir as user not as sudo
[13:42] <MrKeuner> TJ-, this is a clean LTS install and not an upgrade from earlier version. pgrep ssh-agent returns null
[13:42] <TJ-> MrKeuner: hmmm, is it a server or desktop install?
[13:42] <MrKeuner> may there was an error I may have missed in install logs? This is a desktop install
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> bbl
[13:44] <MrKeuner> what if apt-get reinstall ssh-agent? which package is that? openssh-client?
[13:44] <AbuDhar> can I remove the  zeitgeist-datahub safely?
[13:44] <AbuDhar> I don't need Unity btw.
[13:44] <TJ-> MrKeuner: The X session should execute /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent
[13:45] <rory> AbuDhar: if in doubt, you can do sudo apt-get -s remove zeitgeist-datahub
[13:45] <rory> AbuDhar: the -s is for "simulate"
[13:45] <AbuDhar> oh let me try that.
[13:45] <rory> AbuDhar: It will show you what would be done. You can pastebin it here and we can double-check
[13:45] <TJ-> MrKeuner: ssh-agent is part of ssh-client, along with ssh itself
[13:45] <MrKeuner> TJ-, I have such a file but it seems like it is 644
[13:45] <AbuDhar> Remv zeitgeist [0.9.14-0ubuntu4.1]
[13:45] <MrKeuner> so not executable...
[13:45] <AbuDhar> Remv zeitgeist-datahub [0.9.14-0ubuntu4.1]
[13:45] <TJ-> MrKeuner: that's fine
[13:45] <TJ-> MrKeuner: read the file - it is sourced not executed
[13:46] <rory> AbuDhar: Sounds like you're fine then, it's not going to remove 1000 other packages along with it :)
[13:46] <AbuDhar> hehe fine.
[13:46] <TJ-> MrKeuner: Are you starting the X server manually, or letting the lightdm display manager handle it?
[13:47] <MrKeuner> TJ-, I am not starting it manually. Default disp manager does that but I use gnomeshell
[13:47] <MrKeuner> can that be the reason?
[13:47] <Li> vi2nano: it doesn't allow me to mkdir into /mnt as a user
[13:47] <Li> mkdir: cannot create directory ‘usb’: Permission denied
[13:47] <TJ-> MrKeuner: I wouldn't have thought so, since it is supposed to be started by the Xsession facility, and as far as I am aware, gnome-shell wouldn't avoid that
[13:48] <MrKeuner> actually there is another papercut I noticed with this install. I wonder if they are related. waking up from sleep system wakes up unlocked...
[13:48] <TJ-> MrKeuner: maybe it does though; maybe there is some environment variable that is read by that 90x11-common_ssh-agent script that prevents it starting
[13:49] <TJ-> MrKeuner: I think the key part is "if has_option use-ssh-agent; then" ... "use-ssh-agent" being the operative bit
[13:50] <TJ-> MrKeuner: I find that via grep: "/etc/X11/Xsession.options:8:use-ssh-agent"
[13:52] <vi2nano> Li: Make it somewhere else then. Doesn't matter where as long as you know where it is.
[13:52] <vi2nano> I suppose it wouldn't matter as you'll have to mount as root
[13:52] <vi2nano> you could probably mkdir as root and have it work find
[13:52] <TJ-> MrKeuner: is there any record of it running in the environment: "env | grep SSH_AGENT_PID"
[13:53] <MrKeuner> TJ-, I found the line you mentioned but it is not commented out or something
[13:53] <MrKeuner> env | grep SSH_AGENT_PID returns null
[13:53] <TJ-> MrKeuner: OK, so its not that it started and exited early then, it just hasn't started
[13:54] <rory> I have a bunch of files called page1.jpg, page2.jpg ... page60.jpg. When I do stuff in bash with them using *, it iterates in alphabetical order (1, 10, 11, etc)
[13:54] <TJ-> MrKeuner: which suggests that Xsession isn't being used for some reason
[13:54] <rory> How can I get bash to enumerate * in NUMERICAL order?
[13:54] <TJ-> rory: pre-sort the list
[13:55] <rory> in this case I'm trying to do "convert *.jpg out.pdf"
[13:55] <rory> How would I pre-sort it in this case?
[13:55] <vi2nano> rory: are they all the same filename besides the number?
[13:55] <rory> oh ls
[13:55] <rory> yes vi2nano
[13:56] <vi2nano> page*.jpg
[13:56] <MrKeuner> TJ-, How can I check if it is used? pgrep -i xsession?
[13:56] <Li> Do you now what is this error I get "sudo: unable to resolve host myUserName"
[13:56] <rory> vi2nano: same deal
[13:56] <rory> vi2nano: I need to to be in numerical order not alphabetical
[13:56] <rory> vi2nano: in alphabetical order, it goes 1, 10, 11, 12... 2, 20, 21...
[13:56] <TJ-> MrKeuner: no, Xsession just calls scripts to configure the session
[13:58] <TJ-> MrKeuner: do you have "/usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop" ?
[13:59] <MrKeuner> I do
[13:59] <vi2nano> rory: try 'ls -v'
[13:59] <TJ-> MrKeuner: looking at the packages, gnome-shell depends on gnome-session, which installs that file, which I *think* is what allows gnome to be listed on the greeter screen
[13:59] <EriC^^> rory: convert $(for i in {1..9}; do echo page$i.jpg; for j in {0..9}; do echo page$i$j.jpg; done; done) out.pdf
[13:59] <TJ-> MrKeuner: what does the file contain? can you pastebin it?
[13:59] <MrKeuner> sure, just a sec please
[13:59] <EriC^^> something like that could work
[13:59] <Li> vi2nano .. rory : unetbootin is working now and able to see the usb
[14:00] <rory> yeah EriC^^ I was gradually converging on that one, you've saved me some time, thanks
[14:00] <Li> the problem was due to ntfs partition .. unetbootin requires fat32
[14:00] <Li> thank you guys
[14:00] <EriC^^> rory: np
[14:00] <MrKeuner> TJ-, http://pastebin.com/AsruAiEE
[14:03] <TJ-> MrKeuner: the only thing I can think is to look for clues in logs. The only ones that may have something will be under /var/log/lightdm/ I think, or possibly in $HOME/.xsession-errors
[14:04] <TJ-> MrKeuner: If this is a vanilla install, with no additional PPA/manually installed packages, and no custom configuration, then I'm at a loss as to why the Xsession isn't seeming to use the ssh-agent
[14:06] <MrKeuner> TJ-, thank you so much. I'll check and let you know if I find out
[14:07] <TJ-> MrKeuner: something you could do. Add the line "echo 'starting ssh-agent' >> /tmp/ssh-agent.log" to the top of /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent then try another log-in. If that log file isn't created you know that script isn't executed. If the log-file appears, but ssh-agent isn't running, you know the "if has_option use-ssh-agent ..." isn't triggered
[14:12] <icemac> Hi

[14:15] <OerHeks> too fast ..
[14:17] <HackerII> lol
[14:18] <HackerII> smoookin
[14:23] <wylex> A
[14:31] <nonamae> Ok I made a stripped volume on two SSDs on lvm2, but I am not sure it is now faster or not. Not sure how to test. Wit ' dd if=/dev/urandom of=testfileR bs=4k count=10000; sync;' the speed is the same 7,8 MB/s. With hdparm the Timing cached reads: is about the same 4257.12 MB/sec, but the Timing buffered disk reads is much faster on the lvm. sda:470  lvm:870 MB/sec
[14:32] <nonamae> So will it be faster like this?
[14:33] <nonamae> http://pastebin.com/LyEafJeB Here is how I was doing it
[14:42] <bekks> nonamae: And whats the actual issue in one sentence?
[14:42] <bekks> nonamae: using your bs and count values, it implies (for a sane benchmark), that you have 40000k RAM only.
[14:44] <zidsal> would anyone mind giving me a hand on getting a broadcom wireless card working? I try installing bcmwl-kernel-source however the command line gets stuck on DKMS: install complete
[14:46] <BluesKaj> zidsal, install dkms
[14:46] <nonamae> bekks, issue is that I am not sure that now it is faster
[14:46] <motaka2> hello, I am trying to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 but running sudo update-manager -d doesnt show the upgrade button in opening window
[14:47] <nonamae> bekks, if I made it right
[14:47] <bekks> nonamae: First, you have to benchmark your disks, not your RAM, as you did.
[14:47] <nonamae> now I am testing with dd if=/dev/zero of=./largefile bs=64k count=100000 and the result is<PHONE_NUMBER> bytes (6,6 GB) copied, 7,2175 s, 908 MB/s
[14:47] <zidsal> BluesKaj I already have dkms should I reinstall it?
[14:48] <bekks> nonamae: why are you changing bs now?
[14:48] <nonamae> against<PHONE_NUMBER> bytes (3,3 GB) copied, 7,82616 s, 419 MB/s so I thing I can be happy now :)
[14:48] <bekks> nonamae: you are comparing cars and apple trees.
[14:48] <BluesKaj> zidsal, no need to reinstall, which broadcom chip ?
[14:49] <nonamae> bekks, I dont know what I am doing then
[14:49] <zidsal> finding out now BluesKaj
[14:49] <bekks> nonamae: Yeah, I told you what to do :)
[14:50] <bekks> nonamae: use bs=4k and a count value that will result in a total data about 2x of your RAM.
[14:50] <nonamae> bekks, ok
[14:50] <bekks> nonamae: That will give you comparable results actually.
[14:53] <zidsal> BluesKaj I can't seem to see what model it is from doing lshw -C network
[14:55] <BluesKaj> zidsal, try lspci
[14:57] <nitesh_> hi
[14:57] <motaka2> hello, I am trying to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 but running sudo update-manager -d doesnt show the upgrade button in opening windo
[14:58] <cfhowlett> motaka2, use the command line: sudo apt-get update && sudo do-release-upgrade
[14:59] <motaka2> cfhowlett: wouldnt I get in trouble using that ?
[14:59] <cfhowlett> motaka2, same same as your gui, just not as pretty
[14:59] <nonamae> bekks, 8,2 GB copied (my ram is 4GB)   lvm: 660 504 318 495 321 476 317 MB/s   against sda: 353 313 290 312 MB/s
[15:00] <motaka2> cfhowlett: what does failed to download repository information means?
[15:00] <cfhowlett> motaka2, could be your mirror is offline
[15:01] <nonamae> bekks, results in lvm are very diverse, but seams to be faster anyway
[15:01] <nitesh_> i have installed 14.04
[15:01] <nitesh_> my wifi connection keeps on breaking
[15:03] <nonamae> bekks, ok reading speed is 1,0 GB/s vs 531 MB/s
[15:03] <nonamae> I am happpy :)
[15:03] <nonamae> thx all
[15:04] <monod> hello! I have 2 hard disks and I'd like to do a dual boot, windows + linux
[15:04] <monod> will I have troubles with mbr and boot up?
[15:04] <monod> will it work?
[15:05] <motaka2> cfhowlett: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7149639b7002227c8671
[15:05] <monod> google is my friend, tho
[15:05] <SchrodingersScat> monod: that should be fine.
[15:05] <monod> with no particular effort? SchrodingersScat
[15:05] <monod> I mean, no special things to do during the setup?
[15:05] <cfhowlett> motaka2, I can't see gist - china firewall blocks it.  paste.ubuntu.co   works
[15:06] <SchrodingersScat> monod: you'll have to select what you want where if you want linux on one drive and windows on the other.
[15:07] <monod> and what about the MBR being on one drive rather than the other or both?
[15:07] <monod> SchrodingersScat, will grub be correctly configured for this setup?
[15:08] <SchrodingersScat> monod: right, depends on your setup and what you're planning.  You can tell it what location to put that on install.
[15:08] <motaka2> cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13396549/
[15:08] <monod> somebody suggests to use the Quick boot feature from the BIOS at startup, SchrodingersScat, to select which disk to boot from
[15:08] <monod> :D
[15:08] <cfhowlett> !aptlock | motaka2,
[15:10] <monod> seems like update-grub or grub2-mkconfig should work in my case
[15:10] <monod> from what I read on google
[15:10] <monod> I'mma try!
[15:10] <monod> Cya!
[15:10] <motaka2> cfhowlett: is running now thank you
[15:10] <cfhowlett> motaka2, :)
[15:11] <motaka2> cfhowlett: 100% [Waiting for headers]
[15:12] <motaka2> cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13396605/
[15:13] <cfhowlett> motaka2, yep, you've got a all those exotic packages in your system.  disable them for now.
[15:13] <motaka2> cfhowlett: how?
[15:14] <cfhowlett> motaka2, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list            then go to each of the error lines mentioned and put ## at the beginning of the line.  close, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[15:15] <SlashArash> hi i have a problem
[15:15] <SlashArash> when i try to install samba in ubuntu 15.10 it return an error
[15:15] <SlashArash> http://paste.ubuntu.com/13396628/
[15:16] <SlashArash> what should i do?
[15:17] <SchrodingersScat> !info samba
[15:19] <MrCeeIII> hello all anyone know of a good software package to convert .wmv to mp4?
[15:19] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, avconv
[15:19] <cfhowlett> it's in the libav-tools package
[15:20] <bindi> why not ffmpeg?
[15:21] <SchrodingersScat> practically the same difference
[15:21] <TJ-> depends which release you're using; we've moved back to ffmpeg
[15:21] <cfhowlett> bindi, has ffmpeg returned to the repos yet?  if so, yes.  if not, avconv is the (temporary) replacement
[15:22] <MrCeeIII> i cant get audio from my wmv files
[15:22] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, open in audacity, it'll pull the audio
[15:22] <MrCeeIII> is it in the the Ubunto software center? avconv
[15:23] <motaka2> cfhowlett: none of them are there
[15:23] <MrCeeIII> its a video file that has no sound
[15:23] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, libav-tools
[15:23] <SchrodingersScat> wouldn't that explain why you can't get audio from them?
[15:23] <MrCeeIII> I tried it in audacity and nothings
[15:23] <SchrodingersScat> !info libav-tools
[15:23] <cfhowlett> motaka2, ok, now sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[15:24] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, what version of ubuntu?
[15:24] <MrCeeIII> 14.04
[15:24] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, sudo apt install libav-tools
[15:25] <motaka2> cfhowlett: still some warnings
[15:25] <BluesKaj> zidsal, sorry my network went down for a few mins
[15:25] <TJ-> !info mediainfo | MrCeeIII this should tell you if there are audio streams in the container
[15:26] <MrCeeIII> i just sudo get-apt installed now what do i do
[15:27] <SchrodingersScat> MrCeeIII: avconv -i inputfile.wmv outputfile.mp4
[15:27] <cfhowlett> this ^^^
[15:27] <SchrodingersScat> may need flags like -strict something something, if it gives a warning
[15:27] <SchrodingersScat> -strict-experimental?
[15:28] <nitish> How can I install kompozer?
[15:29] <nitish> who can I unintall an application completly using perge?
[15:30] <cfhowlett> nitish, sudo apt-get purge applicationname
[15:30] <nitish> cfhowlett: should i use sudo apt-get remove appname before purge?
[15:31] <SlashArash> can someone help me? i get an error when try to install samba! what u to guess? http://paste.ubuntu.com/13396628/
[15:31] <cfhowlett> nitish, nope.  remove will remove the app, leave the .config  .  purge should remove all trace of the app and configs
[15:31] <_gryf> hi
[15:32] <SchrodingersScat> SlashArash: and you've updated your sources? sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install samba #?
[15:32] <MrCeeIII> ubottu: SchrodingersScat:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/13396892/
[15:32] <_gryf> Is it possible to configure ubuntu 14.04 to suspend on lid close, but only, when the power cord is not plugged in?
[15:33] <SchrodingersScat> MrCeeIII: yep, that's what I mentioned above, so it's avconv -i MOV012.wmv -strict experimental MOV012.mp4
[15:33] <chano> @SlashArash try sudo apt-get update then try to reinstall
[15:34] <cfhowlett> SchrodingersScat, can you direct me to or provide a brief explanation of "strict experimental"?  never seen it before.
[15:34] <nitish> how can I install ubuntu in my mac with dual-boot?
[15:35] <SchrodingersScat> cfhowlett: all I know is that aac requires it, so when mp4 container has aac audio.
[15:35] <cfhowlett> !mac | nitish
[15:35] <SlashArash> @chano i updated but nothing changed
[15:35] <SchrodingersScat> cfhowlett: I think ffmpeg has since changed this to '-strict -2'
[15:35] <ioria> SlashArash, apt-cache policy samba ?
[15:35] <cfhowlett> SchrodingersScat, Okay.  thanks.
[15:36] <chano> @SlashArash did you now try to do an install?
[15:36] <motaka2> cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13396978/
[15:36] <nitish> what is samba?
[15:36] <bittin_> http://i.imgur.com/KiL8VpZ.png WIP
[15:37] <cfhowlett> motaka2, you have to disable those ppas.
[15:37] <motaka2> cfhowlett: they dont exist lemme show you
[15:37] <chano> @SlashArash if that doesn't work try 'sudo apt-get autoremove samba'
[15:37] <cfhowlett> motaka2, do this: lsb_release -a | pastebinit
[15:37] <SlashArash> @chano absolutely i did
[15:38] <chano> @SlashArash or try 'sudo apt-get autoremove samba4'
[15:38] <chano> @SlashArash that should clean up what might be there
[15:38] <motaka2> cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13397003/
[15:39] <SlashArash> i did it to! let me tell you what i didn't do! nothing i tried "autoremove", "-f install", "change source.list", ....
[15:39] <cfhowlett> motaka2, safe to ignore actually.  did you do the full-upgrade??
[15:39] <motaka2> cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13397018/
[15:40] <motaka2> cfhowlett: what do you mean?
[15:40] <cfhowlett> motaka2, sudo apt full-upgrade
[15:40] <motaka2> cfhowlett: wrong command
[15:41] <cfhowlett> motaka2, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:42] <nitish> I can i search for a word in wordnet?
[15:42] <motaka2> cfhowlett: would that earase all my aps and disk etc?
[15:42] <cfhowlett> motaka2, no.  that will do 14.04 >>> 14.04.3
[15:42] <chano> @SlashArash the other recomendation is to exit out of X - then do the same things again  sometimes the package manager locks your ability to update
[15:42] <MrCeeIII> well converting file did not fix the issue using vlc and still no sound when attempting to view a *.wmv file :(
[15:43] <motaka2> cfhowlett: now I am using 12.04
[15:43] <minasota> I've created a file with nano (rsync-quick-guide) ls -l shows it's there and all permissions are correct. I'm able to open all the other files in the directory except this one. Is is becuase it's name starts with 'rsync'?
[15:43] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[15:43] <cfhowlett> motaka2, 12.04 >>> 12.04.5
[15:43] <MrCeeIII> i believe so
[15:43] <SchrodingersScat> MrCeeIII: that's weird...because avconv recognized the audio for Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: wmav2, 32000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 32 kb/s
[15:44] <MrCeeIII> i was using VLC to review the file
[15:44] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, confirmation:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:44] <zykotick9> minasota: what are the permissions?  "ls -l rsync-quick-guide"
[15:44] <MrCeeIII> yeah updates are loaded
[15:45] <MrCeeIII> shall i open with avconv?
[15:45] <MrCeeIII> i would but cant find it
[15:45] <cfhowlett> MrCeeIII, don't know it isn't working then.  vlc should certainly have found it.
