[00:01] <OneM_Industries> So, I am trying to access a USB floppy drive, and for some reason my box can only see it about 1/10th of the time, and even then, I cannot access data on the drive.
[00:01] <OneM_Industries> Gparted shows constant I/O errors with the drive when attempting to format it.
[00:01] <OneM_Industries> Any ideas?
[00:06] <genii> OneM_Industries: Do you have the fdutils package installed?
[00:07] <OneM_Industries> Sorry, about that, now I do.
[00:08] <OneM_Industries> Installing fdutils did not help, as the drive is still not showing up.
[00:10] <OneM_Industries> I have plugged and unplugged it a few times, and it has now shown up. However, I cannot access the drive, nor format it.
[00:11] <genii> OneM_Industries: You may also need ufiformat
[00:11] <genii> !info ufiformat
[00:12] <OneM_Industries> Odd side note: now that it is showing up, it is showing up before the floppy is inserted into the drive.
[00:12] <arasa7> resize disque partition problem
[00:12] <arasa7>  i can't resize my partition
[00:24] <OneM_Industries> Anyone have any ideas?
[00:34] <shaju> how can i begin here
[00:34] <shaju> hai juiced
[00:35] <shaju> no answer

[00:52] <hdominic> Hi. I'm using SSH in rsync scripts and the like and I recently discovered that I *do not* have to type my passphrase for some reason even after a restart of the PC. It seems to get remembered somewhere. That makes it a bit hard to find a solution on the web because most people want it to be remembered, but I absolutely don't want that. At least not after a restart. In fact, I am quite a bit paranoid right now.   I can't ban you.  But I can add you to my /ignore.
[01:28] <x86iac> feel free
[01:29] <x86iac> cfhowlett: i can give you a link to how to do /ignore mask if you want?

[01:43] <nightly> Hi there! Could someone help me? I just installed Ubuntu 15.06 to my laptop, now I try log in but after I entered password and clicked Enter Ubuntu logout and returns me back to log in screen, how can I fix this problem?
[01:43] <x86iac> enter the correct password?
[01:43] <x86iac> did you write down what you used to set it up?
[01:44] <nightly> x86iac, sure, if I enter incorrect password it says that
[01:44] <nightly> x86iac, sorry?
[01:45] <x86iac> this is a fresh install?
[01:45] <nightly> x86iac, yes, I just installed Ubuntu 10 mins ago to my laptop
[01:47] <nightly> x86iac, I formatted hard drive in installation process
[01:48] <x86iac> and the install finished with no errors?
[01:50] <nightly> x86iac, yep, it seems like that. Also then I trying log in as Guest, its immediately log out and throws me back to log in screen :(
[01:50] <x86iac> use the 'user' you installed
[01:52] <nightly> x86iac, hm, I tried it before but there is same behavior
[01:53] <Bashing-om> nightly: I do not know that the boot parameter works in 15.04 (systemd) but try and see what results.

[02:21] <langxm> think you
[02:21] <langxm> haha
[02:22] <sak> welcome :=)
[02:26] <x86iac> sak:  are you hanging around the school yard again? you know you aren't allowed to do that
[02:27] <Thaurwylth> Hey, I'm sort of interested in the HSA Heterogeneous System Architecture features of AMD/others in Linux. Would #ubuntu-kernel be a good place to ask about that? Or where?
[02:28] <cfhowlett> Thaurwylth, perhaps ##linux?
[02:28] <Thaurwylth> Yeah, but I'm sort of interested about their compatibility especially with Ubuntu, hehe. Of course they might be kernel-specific, so in that sense not dealing with Ubuntu per se at all,
[02:29] <sak> x86iac, I am only monitoring good behavior
[02:30] <neldogz> Anyone else experiencing general graphics issues with Ubuntu 14.04.3 and Virtualbox 4.3.30? Flickering windows, unable to minimize the virtualbox window. Flickering text.. This is with 3d acceleration enabled and 128mb of memory allocated with the guest additions installed.
[02:30] <somenickasd> i am
[02:30] <somenickasd> i am yeah
[02:31] <sak> thaurwylth, what is the  HSA Heterogeneous System Architecture features of AMD?
[02:31] <x86iac> i am yeah yeah yeah
[02:32] <Eduard_Munteanu> neldogz, 128MiB of memory sounds rather low
[02:32] <neldogz> Eduard_Munteanu, thats all virtualbox will allow for Linux VM's
[02:33] <x86iac> you can set any size you want
[02:33] <neldogz> x86iac, really where?
[02:33] <Thaurwylth> Memory management and graphics processing management in such a way that there is minimal, ideally no distinguishing between CPU and graphics RAM and CPU and graphics tasks. And all devices are supposed to share memory allocation with the CPU if they're under the HSA umbrella.
[02:33] <x86iac> sure
[02:33] <sak> neldogz, does this happen without 3d acceleration?
[02:34] <Thaurwylth> So it's like, long ago they had this idea called HyperTransfer to replace the traditional BUS clock thinking, and now this is like the next step, or one after many next steps, that grew out of it. Philosophically speaking, that is.
[02:35] <neldogz> sak, without the 3d acceleration unity is so slow its unbearable but yet it cooperates much better
[02:35] <Thaurwylth> I'm mainly interested in whether the Linux kernels running behind new versions of Ubuntu will be fully using those HSA features on AMD hardware.
[02:38] <x86iac> are dem fancy features in the kernel to begin with?
[02:38] <Thaurwylth> This is kind of like my question...
[02:39] <neyder> ping jose
[02:39] <jose> ?
[02:39] <jose> pong?
[02:39] <Thaurwylth> Also it's sort of known that not even all hardware produced by AMD is going to be fully HSA capable right out of the bat. So that might be my other question. But seeing how that is not Ubuntu or Linux kernel related...
[02:39] <neyder> jose, are you from UbuConLA
[02:39] <neyder> ?
[02:39] <jose> I am, yes
[02:41] <neyder> jose, great! Here in Puno, will host SFD'15 , so Do you still have the banners?
[02:41] <jose> neyder: pm
[02:47] <anandh> Good morning friends..(GMT +5.30)
[02:47] <Thaurwylth> What???
[02:48] <Thaurwylth> I sort of swer my clock's right and I deduce GMT should be 2:48.
[02:48] <anandh> I have  an Question . can i upgrade the Ubuntu 12.0 to 14.0  without affecting the data
[02:48] <Thaurwylth> Woops, I can't read, sorry.
[02:49] <cfhowlett> !home | anandh, if you have separate /home, yes
[02:50] <Thaurwylth> I often suggest doing a clean update, though. There are reasons.
[02:51] <anandh> thanks friends.. I will check the link and try to upgrade it . Okay
[02:51] <Thaurwylth> With older versions of Ubuntu I just did version upgrades for a long time and... it broke stuff. Gradually.
[02:51] <Thaurwylth> So even though I might be in the minority here, I'd suggest a clean new installation of Ubuntu.
[02:55] <trekker118> hey gang, any tips for getting network/wifi printer address to get it workin
[02:56] <trekker118> it's not for me my bro is trying to get something working
[02:56] <trekker118> most of the online stuff looks outdated
[02:57] <x86iac> trekker118: you saying the inernet is already out of date?
[02:57] <trekker118> i guess we have old internets D:
[02:58] <trekker118> the setting he found seems to want an address we're just not sure how to find it
[02:58] <Thaurwylth> Bah, anything that's not web 2.0 is for wussies! And IPv6.
[02:58] <x86iac> some of it is rather mouldy
[02:59] <LightweightOS> Trekker118: Search for the phrase: "printer" in Unity.
[02:59] <Thaurwylth> Does this stuff still work through CUPS or is that completely outdated?
[03:00] <trekker118> darn i think he already started fixin it
[03:00] <x86iac> themill: what are you doing here and in debian ? are you a troll
[03:00] <trekker118> isn't that how it goes :/
[03:00] <LightweightOS> Trekker118: By address it wants the ip address of the printer, which is typicially 192.168.1.xxx
[03:00] <trekker118> see that was my first guess, thx
[03:01] <x86iac> themill is a gentoo user ... so why is he masquerading as a ubuntu person and a debian person of quality
[03:01] <LightweightOS> Trekker118: You can scan your network for machines, and it will list the ip addresses of the machines, if you so wish.
[03:01] <Thaurwylth> Anyways, if you find the localhost address that CUPS resides in, sort of, you might be able to locate the printer there, no?
[03:04] <sak> anandh, yes you can. Upgrading only upgrades the system and applications. User created generally does not get touched. Unless you are doing a clean install, then it would be better to backup.
[03:04] <m000gle> Is there anyone, here, who can help troubleshoot an audio input issue on Ubuntu 15.04 (64-bit)?
[03:04] <LightweightOS> trekker118: There's a program called nmap you can use if Ubuntu's printer application can't find your printer.
[03:05] <sak> neldogz, I can imagine the frustration of that
[03:05] <m000gle> I am using a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000, which has functioned flawlessly for years under Ubuntu; however, today it's settings appeared greyed out in the sound settings
[03:05] <m000gle> Using the Pulse Audio Volume Control, though, it picks it up fine and the microphone appears to be working
[03:06] <m000gle> So, there seems to be some sort of disconnect between Pulse Audio and the Ubuntu audio/sound settings
[03:09] <sak> thaurwylth, is this something in relation to your earlier question about AMD HSA, http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-hypertransport-bus/
[03:09] <trekker118> LightweightOS: thx for the tips, hopefully it helps
[03:10] <trekker118> i'm more of a gentoo guy, i'm not really familiar with the  interface
[03:11] <LightweightOS> trekker118: I just set up my printer a couple seconds ago, and Ubuntu's printer application automatically searches for it, and displays it under "network printer".
[03:11] <echo_> hello
[03:11] <trekker118> my brother's kind of weaning  himself off of windows, so i'm weary to help him too much :/
[03:11] <LightweightOS> trekker118: If you click on "network printer" It will come up under there if it finds it.
[03:12] <Thaurwylth> Sak, hm, perhaps not really, since HyperTransport is a much older protocol than the current HSA specifications.
[03:13] <Thaurwylth> I think HSA Heterogeneous System Architecture 1.0 is pretty much like a 2015 thing. More or less.
[03:13] <trekker118> now he thinks he connected the printer to the wrong network :/
[03:13] <Thaurwylth> The specification might be older, but even hardware support for it might not have existed before 2015.
[03:13] <trekker118> argh, i'm so not good w/ tech support
[03:14] <trekker118> my new firefox build should use system libvpx so it'll be less vulnerable to these zdays
[03:14] <LightweightOS> trekker118: I'm assuming this is the printer in your house, and you only have one wifi network. I don't think you could connect it to the wrong network.
[03:14] <trekker118> darn firefox people just dont keep their internal code up to date
[03:15] <trekker118> LightweightOS: yeah I don't get what he means either :/
[03:15] <LightweightOS> trekker118: You're setting up a connection for your computer to the printer, anyways.
[03:17] <LightweightOS> I'll brb, I'm restarting my computer.
[03:17] <trekker118> oh he thinks it was a neighor's connection he accidently clicked on
[03:17] <Thaurwylth> Tee hee.
[03:17] <trekker118> gosh darnit
[03:18] <Thaurwylth> Anyways, do you know CUPS? Open address localhost:631 in  a browser and that gives you a surefire way to always do pretty much as you please with things related to printers.
[03:19] <Thaurwylth> Like, adding printers, managing network printers, etc.
[03:19] <LightweightOS> I'm back :)
[03:19] <Thaurwylth> Hah ha, I was sowing seeds of evil behind your back...
[03:20] <trekker118> hm cli has unicode error :/
[03:21] <LightweightOS> Does anyone here see a black screen flash for a moment when they log out of the default unity desktop environment?
[03:21] <wydhry> Hi what app to index files in ubuntu? Ive many PDFs, usually it takes some times to find a file. Any app to help this?
[03:23] <Kerijeanbean> Can I get some technical support here?
[03:23] <trekker118> ya know, a wireless mac filter might be to blame for this :/
[03:23] <cfhowlett> !ask | Kerijeanbean
[03:24] <trekker118> god i hate c++
[03:24] <trekker118> well not really..
[03:24] <Kerijeanbean> How do are you supposed to set up a new account if you can't read the security thing that has weird writing.   We have been through about 20 of them and none of them have been right.
[03:24] <cfhowlett> !adduser | Kerijeanbean
[03:24] <Bashing-om> wydhry: Might try 'locate' . see " man locate " and set up a simple data base for the PDFs ?
[03:25] <Kerijeanbean> That doesn't help.  Is there an audio option.
[03:25] <wydhry> Bashing-om thx, i ll check it
[03:26] <Kerijeanbean> We can't get the captcha solution.
[03:26] <cfhowlett> Kerijeanbean, something like "Siri, add a new user!" ??
[03:26] <cfhowlett> Kerijeanbean, captcha?  ubuntu doesn't have captcha!  what are you talking about?
[03:26] <Kerijeanbean> That would work if we had an Apple product.
[03:26] <cfhowlett> !details
[03:26] <LightweightOS> Kerijeanbean: What account are you trying to create?
[03:27] <Kerijeanbean> We are trying to set up a new Ubuntu Software Center account.
[03:28] <Ben64> Kerijeanbean: you don't need an account to use that
[03:28] <cfhowlett> ... unless you are paying for software
[03:29] <Ben64> which is going away soon
[03:29] <trekker118> this is a patch i was going to try w/ firefox:  https://bpaste.net/show/150c2958f722
[03:30] <trekker118> jit is so messed up >_>
[03:30] <trekker118> i looked at it in a debugger, and some of it  gets called in reverse order to what you see in the code
[03:31] <trekker118> which for a stack gets *really* confusing
[03:32] <trekker118> you c++ people idk :)
[03:34] <nightly> I thought Ubuntu is user friendly distro but I just installed 14.04 to my laptop and it cannot just login, omg. It immediately logout when I'am logging in, I checked out ~/.xsession-errors and it seems at-spi2-registryd cannot start, I tried this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/ubuntu-gets-stuck-in-a-login-loop, but it did not help
[03:36] <Ben64> nightly: were you ever able to log in
[03:38] <nightly> Ben64, 1 hour ago I tried fresh install 15.04 to my laptop, I get this problem, I thought it may be 15.04 is unstable and tried install Ubuntu 14.04 now, but get same problem!
[03:38] <Ben64> doesn't really answer my question
[03:39] <nightly> I just formatted hard drive and install Ubuntu 14.04 with its GUI, Next->Next->Choose Time Zone->Ok->Finish
[03:39] <Ben64> nightly: were you ever able to log in?
[03:39] <Ben64> just answer the questions
[03:40] <nightly> Ben64, my english is poor, I loged in via Ctrl+Alt+F3 in terminal, if you mean this
[03:42] <nightly> Ben64, I used Ubuntu 14.04 1 year ago on same laptop, and logged in ok
[03:43] <Kerijeanbean> Thanks. I don't know what the issue was he is up and running now.
[03:45] <nightly> Ben64, hello?
[03:48] <Bashing-om> nightly: What results when you boot with the boot parameter "nomodeset" ?
[03:49] <Thaurwylth> Nightly, do you have encrypted /home/<username> partitions?
[03:50] <nightly> Bashing-om, Unfortunately, I could not understand this article and what I need to do, because my english is too poor :(
[03:51] <nightly> Thaurwylth, no, I installed Ubuntu simpliest way, no partitions, entire hard drive for OS
[03:52] <Thaurwylth> OK, then it's not the possible problem I had in mind.
[03:53] <dinoocch> nightly: have you tried updating your packages (apt-get update; apt-get upgrade)?
[03:53] <sak> thaurwylth, I think this was what you were referring to, http://developer.amd.com/resources/heterogeneous-computing/what-is-heterogeneous-system-architecture-hsa/
[03:53] <nightly> dinoocch, when I google this issue, I tried sudo apt
[03:53] <nightly> sudo apt-get install ubunty-desktop
[03:54] <LightweightOS> When I install another desktop environment on Ubuntu, what steps can I take to ensure it doesn't interfere with other desktop environments, and ensure that when I delete it, I get rid of every package/config file?
[03:54] <nightly> tried reinstall unity, but I did not updated some packages
[03:55] <notaeon> LightweightOS: purging? i'm not sure there's any other automated way of cleaning packages but purge
[03:55] <LightweightOS> notaeon: Yeah, purging.
[03:55] <notaeon> !purge
[03:55] <notaeon> hmm better find the wiki page instead
[03:56] <notaeon> LightweightOS: here we go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Removal_commands
[03:56] <LightweightOS> I'm installing the lubuntu-desktop currently, and I may even uninstall the Unity desktop.
[03:56] <cfhowlett> LightweightOS, you are NOT installing the DE.
[03:57] <cfhowlett> you are installing the lubuntu OS apps + DE
[03:57] <dinoocch> LightweightOS: you may want to be carefull purging meta-packages...it may yield unexpected results
[03:57] <cfhowlett> sudo apt install lxde          = DE only
[03:58] <Thaurwylth> Sak, I sort of know the HSA specifications, like HSA 1.0 and, um, does HSA 0.8 even exist, well anyway. But does the extra info PDF they have there, or whatever, answer the questions about the current situation? Does the Linux kernel have support for, say, HSA 1.0? Does all the current AMD APU hardware already come with HSA 1.0 support?
[03:58] <LightweightOS> cfhowlett: I typed in sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop so I am installing the lubuntu-desktop and all of its dependencies.
[03:59] <LightweightOS> Would it be a terrible idea to purge the Unity desktop environment?
[03:59] <cfhowlett> LightweightOS, "When I install another desktop environment on Ubuntu ..." was your original question.  now you are saying something different.
[04:01] <Thaurwylth> Right, now I also know that HSA 1.0 was publicly specified in March '15.

[04:05] <sura> how can resolove this prob
[04:06] <sura> it s long time troubled me

[04:07] <sura> @<Bashing-om> how can i found the hardware which made the trouble
[04:08] <nightly> Oh Ubuntu is really troubled distro
[04:09] <Bashing-om> sura: The kernel is probing ACPI, looking for the "Platforms communication channel" interface. This is a new ACPI interface and not much hardware currently supports it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1432171
[04:09] <lotuspsychje> nightly: dont say things that arent true
[04:09] <sura> every time i upgraded the system,troubles fllowed

[04:09] <lotuspsychje> !ot | nightly
[04:11] <LightweightOS> If I want to remove Unity, should I run the command mentioned on this forum post? : http://askubuntu.com/questions/509478/remove-ubuntu-desktop
[04:11] <lotuspsychje> !notunity | LightweightOS
[04:12] <sak> I was not sure I understood HSA as you do, Thaurwylth. I was not trying to answer your question, but to educate myself on what you know. So if the link about HSA is what you were referring to, then I am on the same page in knowledge
[04:12] <LightweightOS> lotuspyscheje: I'm going to use LXDE instead.
[04:12] <nightly> ubottu, I asked about my problem twice here, and no one helps :((
[04:13] <sura> why not install fedora instead
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> sura: this isnt the channel to propose fedora
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> LightweightOS: why not install lubuntu then?
[04:13] <sura> lotuspsychje: are u a bot too?
[04:14] <Bashing-om> nightly: What graphics set (card) are you using ?
[04:14] <LightweightOS> lotuspsychje: I installed Lubuntu, but now I need to get rid of the Unity Desktop Environment.
[04:15] <sura> ACPI PCC probe failed] starting version 219,big trouble for me
[04:15] <nightly> Bashing-om, I am using ATI Radeon HD 6480G
[04:15] <sura> amd cpus and amd vedio card
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> LightweightOS: sounds like a reversed plan..you installed ubuntu desktop, then installed lubuntu-desktop now you wanna remove untiy?
[04:15] <LightweightOS> lotuspsychje: Yes, that's precisely what happened.
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> LightweightOS: i would suggest a clean install lubuntu 14.04.3
[04:17] <LightweightOS> lotuspsychje: Should I get it from Lubuntu.net?
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> !lubuntu | LightweightOS
[04:17] <Thaurwylth> Sak, I see, OK. Anyways, I guess the HSA Foundation page would have good plenty of information on the contents of that specification. Seeing how it's now five months old.
[04:17] <nightly> But "lspci | grep -i vga" shows me 2 VGA: 00:01.0 VGA Compatible controller: AMD/ATI Sumo Radeon HD 6480G and 01:00.0 VGA Compatible controller: AMD/ATI Whrisper [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/.. and etc]
[04:18] <Thaurwylth> But I guess I'll go bother people on #ubuntu-kernel about its current inclusion in Linux.
[04:18] <LightweightOS> lotuspsychje: Lubuntu uses the Ubuntu OS, so I can come here for support right?
[04:18] <lotuspsychje> LightweightOS: sure or #lubuntu
[04:18] <sura> What is [ 0.4486641 ACPI PCC probe failed] starting version 219?

[04:24] <sak> Thaurwylth, this would be interesting to research. Thanks for asking the question
[04:24] <Thaurwylth> You're welcome!
[04:26] <Thaurwylth> One thing worries me, though, the thing that was supposed to be AMD's first 1.0 flagship with full compliance was pulled from their publishing roadmap, at least the desktop version, at least this is the rumour I currently 'know.'
[04:27] <Bashing-om> nightly: IF you had no grub you could not boot at all to anything. OK, reboot and as soon as the bios screan clears, depress and hold the right shift key -> grub boot menu. In this menu dpress the 'e' key for edit mode -> boot parameters screen . Arrow down to the line starting with linux arrow across to the terms "quiet splash" and insert the term nomodeset. key combo ctl + x to continue the boot process. Do you now boot to the GUI login screen
[04:34] <LightweightOS> When I'm in the Ubuntu installer, and I choose the erase disk option, does it really erase everything first or would I need to reformat my hard drive to do that?
[04:34] <nightly> Bashing-om, should I insert nomodeset before or after "quite splash"?
[04:35] <ndroid> Time for a facenap... Ahhh... ZZzzZzzZzZzz
[04:37] <nightly> Bashing-om, I have inserted nomodeset term before "quiet splash" and pressed ctrl+x rebooted and there is same problem ubuntu throws me back to log in screen  when I logging in
[04:38] <Bashing-om> nightly: Before will be fine .
[04:41] <Bashing-om> nightly: Then that suggest that you had a bad burn in the install medium. Check the burn. Boot the liveDVD and as soon as the bios screen clears depress the right shit key -> language screen; escape key to accept the default -> boot iptiopns screen -> choose " check disk for defects" . Takes some time to check. is the result no errors ?
[04:42] <BBlalian> hola. vegasputon!
[04:42] <BBlalian> noodlearm. i things.  Does that still work???
[04:44] <nightly> Bashing-om, I used USB for install media, burn iso via dd: dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb
[04:44] <alocer> Thaurwylth, what are you talking about ?
[04:45] <alocer> what is BBlalian ?
[04:45] <Thaurwylth> Those kinds of spam bots have been terrorizing EFnet for at the least a year.
[04:45] <Bashing-om> nightly: Same same applies to a USB medium. Check that the burn to USB is good .
[04:46] <alocer> lol
[04:46] <alocer> and hep teg rog ??? how do you know that ?
[04:46] <Thaurwylth> Somebody knew somebody who knew that back at EFnet.
[04:46] <Thaurwylth> I was surprised myself that it worked.
[04:47] <alocer> le me google that .. :D
[04:47] <Thaurwylth> For future reference, though, it's 'tep.'
[04:48] <alocer> Thaurwylth, http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/details.php?room=%233ds&net=EFnet
[04:48] <Thaurwylth> Anyways, if it still works, it means that whoever created those botnets or viruses in the first place hasn't been evolving their scripts since then.
[04:48] <sak> It's been fun. You guys have a good night
[04:50] <nightly> Bashing-om, idk, I think my disk and usb is good, because I installed Gentoo and used it before
[04:51] <Thaurwylth> Disk, most likely yes, but creating the install USB media is a different process every time, hm?
[04:51] <Bashing-om> nightly: IF you can not boot up with "nomodeset" it suggest that the medium is not good . We must KNOW it is good before anything else is done.
[04:52] <alocer> Thaurwylth, do you know the language ? are they written by haskel ?
[04:54] <TuquiTuqui> Hello folks. When I boot Ubuntu I see "Ubuntu" and some dots below it. I'd like to not see that. I'd rather see nothing or the crazy scrolling lines. This is my /etc/default/grub file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12292163/
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> TuquiTuqui: you need to change quiet splash to ""
[04:57] <Rou> Anyone on?
[04:57] <TuquiTuqui> lotuspsychje: quiet splash to nothing?
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> TuquiTuqui: yes then update frub and reboot
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> TuquiTuqui: sudo update-grub after
[04:58] <TuquiTuqui> lotuspsychje: did you see that it's currenty "noquiet nosplash"?
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> TuquiTuqui: did you add that?
[04:58] <TuquiTuqui> em yes, I saw that in a thread
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> TuquiTuqui: change it to "" for text booting
[04:59] <TuquiTuqui> lotuspsychje: and it has worked for me before
[04:59] <TuquiTuqui> ok I'll remove it
[04:59] <Rou> I have a windows partition that took up my entire harddrive
[04:59] <TuquiTuqui> so the whole line should read: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""   ??
[04:59] <Rou> Is there any way to resize it and create a new partition
[05:00] <lotuspsychje> TuquiTuqui: correct
[05:00] <Rou> Without reinstalling windows???
[05:00] <TuquiTuqui> lotuspsychje: thanx
[05:00] <Bashing-om> TuquiTuqui: Wat I do to doo the booting messages " GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" " .
[05:00] <Thaurwylth> Alocer, huh, sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I don't think I know anything about those. Only that they roamed EFnet and caused a lot of trouble.
[05:00] <TuquiTuqui> Bashing-om: I'll try that as well, thanx
[05:01] <Thaurwylth> I'll go away now ==>
[05:06] <Rou> Anyone?
[05:08] <Bashing-om> Rou: Winows tools for Windows partitions. Best adressed in the Windows channel . But yes many do it !
[05:10] <nightly> Bashing-om, Just installed Linux Mint 17 via same USB drive, it works :)
[05:10] <C0r3> How can I check the depandancies of an executable file in Ubuntu?
[05:10] <chris__> Hey guys, I have a quick question for you. I have the Samsung evo 850 with ubuntu 14.04 on kernel 4.1.6. Is there anything I need to do for precaution in terms of the buggy trim command?
[05:10] <TuquiTuqui> Bashing-om: "text" didn't work
[05:11] <Bashing-om> nightly: Cool .. enjoy .
[05:11] <nightly> Bashing-om, but thank you for active help!
[05:11] <Bashing-om> TuquiTuqui: 14.04 or 15.04 ?
[05:11] <TuquiTuqui> 14.04
[05:11] <nightly> user Ben64 useless fag
[05:12] <Rou> Yeah he is
[05:12] <Ben64> nightly: maybe if you answered the single question i asked you
[05:13] <Bashing-om> TuquiTuqui: after making the edit did you ' sudo update-grub ' . I assure you it works ! I run it on my 14.04 and I do see boot messagaes as I boot up .
[05:13] <TuquiTuqui> yes I did Bashing-om
[05:14] <C0r3> Got it... using ldd command
[05:15] <Bashing-om> TuquiTuqui: Beats me then . What results if you boot from the grub boot menu with that boot parameter 'text' ?
[05:16] <TuquiTuqui> Bashing-om: will try that, but since it's already "text" I'm not sure what you're suggesting
[05:17] <chris__> Does anyone here use a samsung ssd as their main drive?
[05:20] <Bashing-om> TuquiTuqui: I do not understand why the edit to 'text' in /etc/default/grub does not result in your seeing the boot messages as you boot. Maybe booting from grub's boot menu will shed some additional light on the subject.
[05:21] <DalekSec> Bashing-om: Because you need to remove 'quiet splash', 'text' just means you don't boot to the display manager (lightdm)
[05:22] <DalekSec> Also ensure to  sudo update-grub  before rebooting.  You can nalso select this option once usint 'e' on the grub screen and removing those two options.
[05:23] <Bashing-om> DalekSec: :) .
[05:27] <TuquiTuqui> Bashing-om and lotuspsychje: if I edit the line from grub menu into text it doesn't work well (I don't get the login screen, instead everything keeps being terminal) but if I replace "quiet splash" into "" it works just like I want. However, why is it "quiet splash" if I edited the grub file to be ""?
[05:29] <Bashing-om> TuquiTuqui: With the parameter 'text' starting the display manager is supressed .
[05:34] <TuquiTuqui> Bashing-om: I have several kernels installed. Could this be the reason? When you edit the /etc/default/grub file, are you only affecting the default kernel parameters? or are you affecting all kernel entries?
[05:35] <DalekSec> TuquiTuqui: If you only edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, correct.
[05:37] <TuquiTuqui> DalekSec: what bout the other entries?
[05:37] <Rou> My lubuntu installation is taking forever
[05:37] <Rou> And removing every ubiquity component
[05:37] <Rou> Should I give up on it?
[05:38] <Kossilar> @Rou How long has it been?
[05:38] <Rou> An hour
[05:38] <Kossilar> What do you have on screen?
[05:38] <Rou> It's still detecting file systems
[05:38] <Kossilar> Hmm
[05:38] <Kossilar> Doesn't sound good.
[05:38] <Kossilar> What are you installing on?
[05:38] <Rou> The console keeps saying it can't find ubiquity componenets and removing them
[05:38] <Rou> A laptop
[05:39] <Kossilar> Model?
[05:39] <Rou> Installing from inside the lubuntu demo on another partition
[05:39] <Rou> dunno what its called
[05:39] <Rou> It's a Sony something
[05:39] <Kossilar> What other OS's are you running?
[05:39] <Rou> Windows 7
[05:39] <Bashing-om> TuquiTuqui: In the boot process that file is parsed for all kernels that you boot .
[05:40] <TuquiTuqui> Bashing-om: then, why when I press E, I see "quiet splash" still as if I hadn't edited the grub file?
[05:40] <Kossilar> Tell me about your partitions @Rou
[05:42] <Kossilar> How do you have your partitions set up? You must have one for Windows and one for Lubuntu right?
[05:42] <Bashing-om> TuquiTuqui: Something then is "not right" . What do you dee in the boot line in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[05:42] <Bashing-om> dee/see*
[05:43] <Kossilar> Try hitting ctrl+alt+f1/f2 and see if you can get a command line?
[05:43] <Kossilar> If the OS is still stable you should be able to get a command line with ctrl+alt+f1-f6
[05:44] <TuquiTuqui>  Bashing-om: http://lpaste.net/140380
[05:46] <Bashing-om> TuquiTuqui: Looks good to me " Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.16.0-37-generic root=UUID=fb804d09-0eb7-46c5-8de5-386f91fbe631 ro " as you see 'quiet splash' os not present . I have no idea why it would still be in grub;s boot parameter in edit mode .
[05:48] <S4hit> I've tried to do a quick wipe of my partition with gparted, however I failed. How can I achieve this?
[05:56] <Rou> Guys hwat do I format the partition to before using wubi?
[05:57] <S4hit> What does wubi do Rou?
[05:58] <wileee> Rou, wubi is not supported nor put in a partition.
[05:59] <S4hit> What's a good tool to use to wipe my partition?
[06:00] <baizon> S4hit: gparted
[06:01] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: gparted and cfdisk both come to mind
[06:01] <S4hit> baizon: I feel like it didn't wipe it properly, because when I format my hard drive to ext4, it says I still have 11 GiB of used space.
[06:02] <Rou> Do I use logical or primary?
[06:02] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: Well, you could use dd to write zeroes to it, but that'd be by no means fast
[06:02] <wileee> !wubi | Rou
[06:03] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: When I install Ubuntu, and it says "erase disk" Does it really erase the entire disk?
[06:03] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: No idea
[06:04] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: How long does it take?
[06:05] <Rou> My laptop refuses to boot from USB
[06:05] <Rou> And I can't burn a disk
[06:05] <Rou> So I have no other choice than wubi
[06:05] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: It takes up to 10 mins to install Ubuntu for me.
[06:05] <LambdaComplex> Rou: What do you mean by "refuses?"
[06:05] <Rou> It just won't boot from usb
[06:05] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: Hm, not sure. Using dd will definitely get rid of the data though.
[06:05] <Rou> I've tried powerISO, I've tried unetboot
[06:05] <Rou> It boots Windows 7 from USB
[06:05] <LambdaComplex> Rou: Have you tried dd?
[06:05] <Rou> But not any linux distribution
[06:05] <Rou> dd?
[06:06] <LambdaComplex> bit-by-bit copying utility
[06:06] <S4hit> LambdaComplix: Will dd take more than an hour?
[06:06] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: How big is the partition?
[06:06] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: My drive is 700 gigs.
[06:06] <alocer> it depends on the size
[06:06] <dw1> try turning the bios to legacy mode
[06:06] <S4hit> 700 GiB actually.
[06:07] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: Ooh, that'd definitely take a while. I used dd to write a ~1.5 GB iso earlier and that took about 10 minutes.
[06:08] <dw1> slow drive.. take it easy..
[06:09] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: Did you try using gparted?
[06:10] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: Bleach bit says it erases free disk space. And yeah, I tried gparted. I reformatted to ext4 on my 700GiB drive and it went from 14GiB used space to 11GiB used space.
[06:10] <dw1> try unetbootin or MultiSystem
[06:10] <dw1> to make the usb
[06:11] <Rohan_k> Hi all!
[06:11] <LambdaComplex> dw1: Unetbootin is pretty unreliable.
[06:12] <dw1> what is the preferred method
[06:12] <Rohan_k> No, it works fine for me
[06:12] <LambdaComplex> Rohan_k: That doesn't change the validity of my statement.
[06:13] <LambdaComplex> dw1: I'd say dd is the best method.
[06:13] <dw1> so just dd the iso and it's bootable ?
[06:13] <Rohan_k> Otherwise I used to use Universal USB installer when I used windows
[06:13] <LambdaComplex> dw1: Yes?
[06:13] <dw1> k
[06:13] <LambdaComplex> Just don't get if and of mixed up :P
[06:14] <dw1> cd burning programs should burn to other removable media too :/
[06:14] <dw1> make it easy
[06:14] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: It says my drive is located under /dev/sda1 but I don't see it there in my file system. I'm on a live usb right now.
[06:15] <LambdaComplex> dw1: Writing to a USB drive is different from writing to a CD
[06:15] <LambdaComplex> And generally easier
[06:15] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: The drive that should be empty?
[06:15] <Rohan_k> And faster
[06:15] <LambdaComplex> ^
[06:15] <dw1> still the same commands to get the .iso on there
[06:15] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: Yeah, that one.
[06:15] <dw1> but i digress
[06:15] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: Does it show up under lsblk?
[06:16] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: yeah, it says it's located here: /media/lubuntu/a59f1380-1a6b-4856-bdbd-a7cf92f4
[06:17] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: They type is partition and the name is sda1
[06:17] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: Does ls -A tell you anything is there?
[06:17] <dw1> is "safely remove" still necessary for USB/MMC cards to not experience data loss?
[06:17] <LambdaComplex> dw1: Just unmount it
[06:17] <LambdaComplex> It won't let you unmount if something is still using it
[06:17] <dw1> i notice nautilus has both eject and safely remove
[06:18] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: Yeah, it says the size is 700 Gigs.
[06:18] <dw1> i thought thtat was due to some caching that needed a 'flush'
[06:18] <dw1> or something
[06:18] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: I also found it under my file manager.
[06:19] <LambdaComplex> S4hit: Well, you could try using du and df
[06:20] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: I'm using bleachbit, and it says there's 30 minutes remaining and it's going to wipe the free space from it.
[06:20] <LambdaComplex> That works too
[06:20] <S4hit> LambdaComplex: 109 minutes and climbing :o
[06:20]  * LambdaComplex needs to go to sleep
[06:21] <LambdaComplex> Goodnight! Don't break anything :P
[06:21] <dw1> bleachbit looks good
[06:21] <dw1> ty
[06:27] <Rou> I used universal boot loader
[06:27] <Rou> And it finally works
[06:27] <Rou> universal boot installer*
[06:30] <S4hit> How can I simply delete every file on my hard drive without wiping the data bit by bit with dd.
[06:31] <S4hit> Does reformating with gparted achieve that goal?
[06:33] <dw1> yeah
[06:33] <dw1> Format
[06:33] <S4hit> dw1: Thanks.
[06:34] <dw1> creates a new file system and forgets the old
[06:34] <S4hit> dw1: What if it says that I still have 11 GiB of used space on it, though?
[06:34] <dw1> when you format it should all be free
[06:34] <dw1> and empty
[06:35] <S4hit> dw1: I've formatted it a few times and it's still 11 GiB
[06:35] <dw1> in another partition maybe
[06:35] <S4hit> dw1: It's all one partition, it says so.
[06:38] <TragicM3LON> question, whenever i send the restart command to the ubuntu server, its like it doesn't restart properly or something
[06:38] <TragicM3LON> because I can't SSH into it
[06:38] <TragicM3LON> have to hit the reset on machine to get back in
[06:56] <TragicM3LON> someone here has got to know something that's happening
[06:59] <akik> TragicM3LON: how do you send the restart command?
[07:01] <TragicM3LON> sudo restart
[07:01] <TragicM3LON> or sudo reboot
[07:02] <TragicM3LON> akik it seems it goes to reboot, cause the ssh tunnel gets disconnected
[07:02] <akik> TragicM3LON: and you see the machine restarting normal?
[07:03] <TragicM3LON> it obviously isn't i don't know, akik it's a headless server box
[07:03] <TragicM3LON> so i'm always ssh'd to it
[07:03] <akik> can you connect a display to it?
[07:04] <TragicM3LON> ya, but don't have a VGA Cable to use atm :(
[07:04] <TragicM3LON> otherwise this would be easier to troubleshoot
[07:04] <akik> maybe it's not getting it's tcp/ip settings activated correctly
[07:05] <akik> can you ssh into it after restart?
[07:05] <TragicM3LON> no says connection refused
[07:05] <TragicM3LON> so i have to manually press the reset button
[07:05] <TragicM3LON> then i can ssh in
[07:07] <akik> can you ping it after restart?
[07:16] <akik> you could add "ps auxwf" into /etc/rc.local and chmod +x /etc/rc.local and see if sshd gets started
[07:16] <akik> sorry
[07:16] <akik> ps auxwf > /tmp/processlist
[07:16] <akik> that will create a processlist into /tmp as the last task in the boot process
[07:18] <akik> ps auxwwf seems to bring in more detail
[07:19] <TragicM3LON> i'm just seeing if updating the kernel will fix it
[07:19] <akik> is it using a wifi adapter?
[07:20] <TragicM3LON> no
[07:22] <akik> you can try running "nc -v ipaddress 22" from another box to test the ssh port
[07:22] <akik> does it have a static or dhcp ip?
[07:23] <TragicM3LON> static
[07:25] <lotuspsychje> someone knows a gui package to enable/disable systemd services easy
[07:33] <renwenhsin> I believe my tv is probably supplying wrong EDID information
[07:33] <renwenhsin> I figured it from running   $ get-edid | decode-edid
[07:33] <renwenhsin> I've read that typically people just override the EDID in various ways, or even disable EDID in xorg.conf
[07:34] <renwenhsin> I'm not clear though what is the recommended way
[07:34] <lotuspsychje> renwenhsin: can you give us more details of your end goal?
[07:35] <mikubuntu> arrrrrrgh. mom's computer was getting buggy so i decided to do a fresh install. now when i restart getting error: /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found. entering rescue mode... grub rescue .. but not doing anything
[07:36] <mikubuntu> installed via unetbootin usb lubuntu 14.04.2
[07:36] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: did you disabled fastboot + secureboot?
[07:37] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: nope -- never heard of that -- just did a normal install, seemed to go right until restart
[07:38] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje,   my colleague recommended a tv screen LG UB850V  for doing some 3D multimedia work that I do.
[07:38] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: your system is uefi right? you single install ubuntu or dualboot?
[07:38] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: single install
[07:38] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje,  now I have this expensive tv, but one resolution/frequency mode is missing on Ubuntu 14.04
[07:38] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje,   not a problem on windows, but on linux
[07:39] <lotuspsychje> renwenhsin: on wicj graphics card + driver?
[07:39] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: what is uefi
[07:39] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | mikubuntu
[07:39] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: try to find secureboot and fastboot in bios, both should be disabled
[07:39] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje,  Ubuntu 14.04 recommended one was nvidia-346   for my card  GTX970
[07:39] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: ok, lemme check
[07:40] <lotuspsychje> renwenhsin: is that an optimus card?
[07:40] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: where are those settings, in the boot sequence screen?
[07:40] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje,   MSI GTX970
[07:40] <Jakey2> how do i put the date on the lubuntu desktop
[07:40] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: bios screen, f2 or DEL
[07:41] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje,  this card runs my ACER UHD monitor at 4k 60Hz without problem... only this LG TV results in problems... a lot of EDID inconsistency errors output in Xorg.0.log
[07:41] <greenride> Does Ubuntu have a default file for iptables policy files?
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> renwenhsin: have you tryed if you got same issue on different driver?
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> !iptables | greenride
[07:41] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje, I've been hesitant to backport the driver
[07:42] <lotuspsychje> renwenhsin: would be interesting to see if other drivers get you more modes?
[07:42] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje, yes.
[07:42] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje, I have read that people are having issues, either with nvidia driver or bios on MSI card itself.
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> renwenhsin: also played with xrandr or arandr?
[07:43] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje, in every case people seem to solve problems by generating their own EDID
[07:43] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje, or doing some hocus pocus with xorg.conf
[07:43] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje, I have not tried that yet.
[07:43] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje, can I use xrandr to force a mode on that display?
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> renwenhsin: normally yes
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> !xrandr | renwenhsin
[07:44] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: in the main section of bios there are some entries: quiet boot (enabled), network boot (enabled) f12 boot menu (enabled) d2d recovery (enabled) but nothing says 'fastboot' or secureboot
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> !info arandr | renwenhsin also nice
[07:44] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje, ok, so I should probably familirize myself with using xrandr/arandr first... see if I can force it...
[07:45] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: check all settings mate, see if you can find anything with uefi, legacy,secureboot,etc
[07:45] <renwenhsin> lotuspsychje,  does xrandr talk to xorg system?

[07:46] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: none of those appear
[07:46] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: wich was default Os on your pc?
[07:47] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: it had lub 14.04.3, but i don't know what she had done to make it buggy -- the version that downloaded from unet was 14.04.2
[07:48] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: what brand is your pc?
[07:48] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: but i did 'erase' lubuntu and install
[07:48] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: i just wanna find out if your system is uefi

[07:55] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: brb 5 mins tops
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: can you find your model here: http://us.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/drivers-downloads
[07:57] <nug700> How do I fix the intense screen tear on Amazon instant video?

[07:59] <nug700> 352.41*
[07:59] <lotuspsychje> nug700: does a vlc or youtube give you same tearing?
[07:59] <nug700> yes on yourtube
[08:00] <lotuspsychje> nug700: tryed another driver?
[08:00] <nug700> curoius only does it on youtube when my mouse is over the video
[08:00] <nug700> curious*
[08:00] <lotuspsychje> nug700: on firefox or chromium?
[08:01] <nug700> using google chrome
[08:02] <lotuspsychje> nug700: test if you have tearing in vlc video or firefox aswell
[08:02] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: how strange, no product number doesn't appear there
[08:02] <nug700> k
[08:02] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: yeah cant find neither, trying to find bios manual...
[08:02] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: ask in ##hardware if your model is uefi please
[08:03] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: was going to try to search via serial # but very hard to read
[08:07] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: i found another number NV59C04u, that page you gave me shows a NV59C series
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: specs show win7 by default, so i dont think its uefi
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: have you tryed ubuntu desktop 14.04.3 to install?
[08:10] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: thats what was on it previously but the version that unetbootin gave me was .2

[08:12] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: it seemed to running live, but on the reboot is where i got the problem
[08:12] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: both on lubuntu and ubuntu?
[08:13] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: no i only have one stick, just used lubuntu never had a problem with it before
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: try making a new usb stick with ubuntu desktop or xubuntu
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: maybe its bad md5 or something
[08:17] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: downloading lub 14.04.3
[08:17] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: you can also try making the usb with something else then unetbootin
[08:18] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: yes, gonna use startup disc creator
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: universal usb installer,yumi,multisystem,ubuntu disc creator
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: great :p
[08:19] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: thx mate -- i'll be back, hope you're still here!! lol.

[08:19] <mikubuntu> lotuspsychje: hoping i won't need help :(
[08:20] <noethics> anyone experience some flash websites not working lately on ubuntu? (specifically twitch)
[08:20] <ninja_> hi
[08:20] <lotuspsychje> mikubuntu: did you enable internet + updates during setup + 3rd party software during install last time?
[08:21] <lotuspsychje> noethics: try chromium, adobe's flash gets pretty dead
[08:21] <noethics> lotuspsychje, yeah i don't really like using chrome though ;/
[08:21] <noethics> was wondering about alternatives for ff or opera that doesn't involve wine
[08:22] <lotuspsychje> noethics: ive seen another distro experiment with pepperflash on firefox, but didnt test myself on ubuntu
[08:22] <lotuspsychje> noethics: for now its reccomended to avoid adobe flash on firefox
[08:23] <lotuspsychje> !info chromium | noethics is the linux version of chrome
[08:23] <lotuspsychje> !info chromium-browser | noethics
[08:23] <noethics> lotuspsychje, i have chromium
[08:24] <lotuspsychje> noethics: ok
[08:24] <noethics> i use it for testing websites and stuff, but i feel like i'm being spied on
[08:24] <noethics> :p
[08:24] <noethics> when using it
[08:24] <lotuspsychje> noethics: well its good to always have a healthy paranoia :p
[08:24] <noethics> :)
[08:25] <noethics> lotuspsychje, thanks though ill probably dig into porting pepperflash to firefox
[08:25] <lotuspsychje> noethics: html5 is the alternative also
[08:25] <noethics> lotuspsychje, indeed, unfortunately even for modern website development a lot of them use flash for websocket portability
[08:25] <lotuspsychje> noethics: check the article about pepperflash on firefox on softpedia linux
[08:26] <nug700> lotuspsychje: back
[08:26] <nug700> doesn't work on firefox at all
[08:27] <nug700> (instant video doesn't)
[08:27] <lotuspsychje> nug700: can you check if you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[08:27] <nug700> it is not
[08:27] <lotuspsychje> nug700: install plz :p
[08:28] <lotuspsychje> nug700: see if it improves your online video's
[08:28] <nug700> saying I have to remove Libav codec library
[08:28] <nug700> to install it
[08:28] <lotuspsychje> nug700: did you install something from ppa or something?
[08:29] <noethics> nug having same problem as me? :D
[08:29] <nug700> I installed my graphics driver using ppa and a few desktop themes
[08:29] <noethics> ;/
[08:29] <lotuspsychje> noethics: he's got screen tearing on web videos
[08:29] <lotuspsychje> nug700: do what install asks :p
[08:29] <noethics> ive had that as well
[08:30] <noethics> had to switch to nvidia nonfree driver
[08:30] <lotuspsychje> noethics: on vlc video's also?
[08:30] <noethics> at the time i was only testing youtube and twitch
[08:30] <lotuspsychje> kk
[08:30] <noethics> not using livestreamer or had anything downloaded to watch on vlc
[08:30] <noethics> you could try livestreamer to see though
[08:30] <noethics> anyway tanks for the help lotuspsychje :P if i can port it maybe i'll come back with results
[08:31] <lotuspsychje> noethics: might be interesting to feedback this
[08:31] <lotuspsychje> noethics: tnx
[08:31] <nug700> weird... on the youtube video, the screen tearing over the video stays at a fixed possition below the mouse cursor
[08:32] <nug700> until I get about a forth of the way up, then it stays still until I reach half, and goes away
[08:33] <noethics> might be cool to use livestreamer as a daemon to pipe to a browser extension
[08:33] <noethics> that renders on an html5 canvas
[08:33] <noethics> and avoid flash altogether
[08:33] <noethics> i hate flash so much
[08:34] <lotuspsychje> noethics: yeah its a danger to use, su vunrable
[08:34] <noethics> that plus it's like.. old tech
[08:35] <noethics> and still all major sites use it because it's supported everywhere
[08:35] <lotuspsychje> noethics: anyway if you find a fix, come report back ok mate
[08:35] <noethics> well the current fix is pipelight for me
[08:35] <noethics> but it uses WINE
[08:36] <noethics> will report back pepperflash fix if i can get it working tho ;)
[08:36] <noethics> seeya gl nug
[08:36] <lotuspsychje> noethics: ok good luck
[08:36] <shomon> hi, I have 2 ubuntu computers, on one I have apache and on the other I'd like to access it
[08:36] <nug700> Ubuntu is acting strange
[08:37] <shomon> how do I get them both to see each other?
[08:37] <nug700>  After installing the package
[08:37] <lotuspsychje> nug700: define strange
[08:37] <nug700>  Taking forever to boot and won't accept input
[08:37] <nug700>  It gets to the login screen
[08:37] <shomon> they are on a lan wifi network, so it's an intranet.. but although I can see other machines from the server, it doesn't seem to see the whole IP range
[08:38] <shomon> is there a good place to get help with this? maybe it's not ubuntu specific, but more to do with lan networking?
[08:38] <nug700>  Like number lock and caps lock isn't toggling
[08:38] <lotuspsychje> shomon: ##networking perhaps
[08:38] <lotuspsychje> bbl
[08:38] <shomon> thanks!
[08:38] <mach20x> can someone help me recognize a device on Ubuntu so that I can hand it off to my virtual machine?
[08:39] <bekks> mach20x: Which kind of device?
[08:39] <mach20x> An LG ln272
[08:39] <bekks> mach20x: Whats that?
[08:39] <mach20x> a cell phone
[08:40] <nug700>  Working again
[08:40] <nug700>  I've s
[08:41] <nug700> I've found that switching off power switch and holding down power button fixes a number of things
[08:42] <mach20x> Sudo lshw shows me the device, but it is not recognized by the GUI, and it won't allow me to select it in Virtualbox
[08:43] <shomon> mach20x, samsungs are terrible for mounting on anything other than their crappy kies thing
[08:43] <mach20x> it's an LG
[08:43] <shomon> ah I saw samsung.. ah ssd pro
[08:44] <nug700> also I'm still getting the tearing after installing the ubuntu restricted package
[08:44] <mach20x> I have the drivers on the windows virtual machine, I just need to be able to forward the connection through Ubuntu to it
[08:45] <mach20x> Here is a pastebin of the relevant output for this device from the lshw command http://paste.ubuntu.com/12290515/
[08:47] <chenbotang> HELLO
[08:49] <mach20x> shomon, bekks, is the above going to provide enough information to force recognition so that I can forward it to my virtual machine?
[08:50] <noethics> forgot who i was talking to before about flash
[08:50] <noethics> but i found this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash
[08:50] <noethics> apparently pepper is deprecated, so i installed the new one recommended there and it actually works out of the box on firefox
[08:50] <shomon> no idea mach20x sorry
[08:52] <noethics> actually works amazingly, too :)
[08:53] <bazhang> !find pepperflash
[08:53] <bazhang> noethics, ^
[08:53] <noethics> bazhang, what about it?
[08:53] <bazhang> thats the working flash
[08:53] <noethics> bazhang, that's deprecated nw
[08:53] <noethics> read the link ;D
[08:54] <noethics> pepperflash doesn't work in firefox
[08:54] <bazhang> for relative values of flash working
[08:54] <noethics> adobe-flashplugin from the partner ppa is what i switched to
[08:54] <noethics> (as recommended and the successor of pepperflash)
[08:54] <bazhang> ok
[08:54] <noethics> and it's working amazingly even in firefox now
[09:07] <TheDailyDriver> Hi, I need help with Optimus/PRIME under Linux. I've got an Intel HD 4600 and a NVidia Geforce GT 840M in my laptop. After installing nvidia-prime (nvidia-346) over the 'additional Drivers' Window and rebooting, running nvidia-settings tells me: ** Message: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort ** Message: PRIME: is it supported? no
[09:08] <TheDailyDriver> Can someone help me with this?
[09:10] <Hardcore7> hey, can someone send me a message please? thanks
[09:11] <bazhang> !test | Hardcore7
[09:12] <Hardcore7> oh thanks :D never knew that
[09:12] <nokie> yo man
[09:13] <TheDailyDriver> No idea regarding my problem? :/
[09:13] <bazhang> what version of ubuntu TheDailyDriver
[09:13] <Fjorgynn> what's the difference between cdrom0 and sr0?
[09:13] <TheDailyDriver> ubuntu 14.04
[09:13] <bazhang> we need more details TheDailyDriver
[09:14] <TheDailyDriver> okay Ill pastebin some stuff
[09:14] <bekks> Fjorgynn: cdrom0 is an alias for the sr0 scsi reader block device.
[09:15] <TheDailyDriver> So dpkg -l | grep nvidia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12293330/
[09:16] <valutcizen> Hi
[09:16] <TheDailyDriver> sudo lshw -C display: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12293334/
[09:16] <TheDailyDriver> any more information you need?
[09:17] <no_gravity> There seems to be no ffmpeg in Ubuntu 14 anymore. What was it replaced by? How do you extract mp3 from mp4 on Ubuntu?
[09:18] <bazhang> libav-tools no_gravity
[09:19] <valut> Hi
[09:20] <valut> How can i find someone who well known ubuntu initrd?
[09:21] <mach20x> ~$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/bus/usb/004 /media/external -o uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137
[09:21] <mach20x> mount:  /dev/bus/usb/004 is not a block device
[09:21] <mach20x> that's what I am getting when I try to mount the LG ln272
[09:23] <mach20x> Device output for lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/12293365/
[09:25] <TheDailyDriver> oh man I have no idea what to do
[09:25] <mach20x> you and me both
[09:25] <TheDailyDriver> yea :D
[09:26] <TheDailyDriver> gonna reboot fast
[09:28] <mach20x> would it be advisable to run a vender exe for windows drivers in Ubuntu via WINE?
[09:29] <TheDailyDriver> nvidia-prime still not working...
[09:29] <mach20x> so that I can fix a cellphone?
[09:30] <TheDailyDriver> mach20x what you want to do?
[09:31] <TheDailyDriver> Do you want to extract mp3 from a mp4?
[09:31] <mach20x> mount an LG ln272 to the ubuntu machine to fix the bin and dll files
[09:32] <mach20x> or at the least mount it in ubuntu so that I can hand it off to my windows within Virtualbox
[09:33] <TheDailyDriver> Sorry gtg now...
[09:35] <visof> hi guys
[09:36] <akik> mach20x: are you using mtp mode or usb storage mode with your phone?
[09:36] <mach20x> it's not an android phone so I'm going to go with neither
[09:37] <visof> my system is auto-mute enabled how can i disable it?
[09:38] <mach20x> Take a look at this to see where I am at http://paste.ubuntu.com/12293460/
[09:39] <mach20x> akik ^^
[09:41] <akik> mach20x: sorry i don't know how to help you with that. don't know if what you want is even possible
[09:42] <Nokaji> Is there a way to unarchive a monolithic 'flac' file, via its 'cue' sheet in ubuntu? -I've tried mp3split which fails, i think flac's aren't handled well by it or linux
[09:43] <akik> mach20x: maybe you need to change some setting in the phone as it looks like it's advertising itself as a modem
[09:43] <Nokaji> it would be one less reason for me to dual boot if I could find a way
[09:44] <mikubuntu> hmmmm ... funny thing as i half watched the term during installation -- something went by that said 'this likely means that your installation is broken' .. lol. but it booted up ok (lub 14.04.3) and wifi works. i guess mom will let me know when she finds the part that's broken.
[09:44] <mach20x> akik: I'm quite certain it is possible, but it's in the "road less traveled" category. Unfortunately I cannot adjust or manipulate any settings or features as it only boot loops, and I am trying to fix it in recovery mode
[09:46] <rtr-> hi, i have a problem building xml-rpc and cant find whats missing on my system. could anybody take a look at it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12293504/
[09:46] <mach20x> akik: hence the reason I need it to mount in ubuntu so that I can access it in windows on Virtualbox with the recovery software provided by the vendor.
[09:46] <akik> mach20x: why do you need to mount it? isn't it enough to forward the usb device to virtualbox?
[09:47] <mach20x> usb device is not found in Virtualbox
[09:47] <akik> have you installed the extension pack to virtualbox?
[09:47] <rtr-> Nokaj did you try this? http://danilodellaquila.com/blog/how-to-split-an-audio-.flac-file-using-ubuntu-linux
[09:48] <mach20x> yes, let me load up the machine
[09:48] <akik> i would say that you don't achieve anything by first trying to mount the phone to linux
[09:48] <akik> in regard to the recovery software
[09:50] <akik> the extension pack install brought the usb 3.0 support to virtualbox so it might not be even necessary
[09:51] <mach20x> I have Virtualbox Guest Additions
[09:51] <akik> guest additions and the extension pack are two different things
[09:51] <mach20x> ok
[09:51] <mach20x> how may I utilize extensions
[09:52] <akik> actually it says also usb 2.0 devices
[09:52] <akik> https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Support for USB 2.0 devices, VirtualBox RDP and PXE boot for Intel cards.
[09:53] <akik> you install it through file/preferences/extensions
[09:53] <akik> you could try #vbox channel as this is off-topic to #ubuntu

[10:01] <SCHAAP137> xtrox, it's generated when you perform sudo update-grub
[10:01] <SCHAAP137> or sudo update-grub2
[10:01] <xtrox> ok I just did that
[10:02] <xtrox> but why dont I have a menu.lst file to edit ?
[10:03] <SCHAAP137> not sure xtrox, it might be the difference between grub and grub2
[10:03] <curiousx> xtrox: you shoud edit:  /etc/default/grub

[10:37] <AEL-H> Apologies, I am having trouble understanding this line from the man page:
[10:37] <AEL-H> The letters rwxXst select file mode bits for the affected users: read (r), write (w), execute (or search for directories) (x), execute/search only if the file is a directory or already has execute permission for some user (X)
[10:37] <AEL-H> What exactly does 'X' do?
[10:37] <bekks> AEL-H: Which man page are you reading?
[10:38] <AEL-H> chmod
[10:38] <zhxk> how to auto-restart a accidently exitd deamon?
[10:39] <bekks> AEL-H: thos bits select the files/directories as described. X selects "file is a directory or already has execute permission for some user"
[10:42] <greg> i  want to  make dialogue box aappear to  be small how to do that?
[10:42] <AEL-H> So is if I do say chmod o+X file , if at least one user can execute the file, all other users can execute the file?

[10:51] <fiksie> Hello folks! I'm transferring my wordpress sites from Hostgator to Digital Ocean. I have paid close attention to this guide: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-multiple-wordpress-sites-on-a-single-ubuntu-vps and I think it was successful, but now i need to configure plugins and content before pointing the domain at new server. Is there any way i can access and develop current wordpress installations and pr
[10:52] <cfhowlett> fiksie, might that question be better asked of #wordpress?
[10:53] <fiksie> Yeah, I was thinking about that as well. It's because i could access developing domains with http://ip/~username. Now I'm wandering if it is any different with ubuntu
[10:54] <bekks> fiksie: It isnt different because of Ubuntu, it may be different because your of your Wordpress setup.
[10:55] <fiksie> okay, thank you for your help
[11:03] <LordDeath> is opensmtpd in Ubuntu already a reliable alternative to postfix?
[11:03] <ikonia> why would it not be reliable ?
[11:03] <ikonia> it's an SMTP relay/mail agent
[11:03] <ikonia> don't know what you mean by 'already'
[11:05] <LordDeath> well, it is "new" and it seems like only one maintainer over at debian is taking care of an slightly outdated version
[11:06] <ikonia> so thats your answer
[11:06] <ikonia> are you comfortable witht that situation ?
[11:06] <ikonia> why do you need to replace postfix ?
[11:07] <LordDeath> imho postfix is not very intuitive. I am looking for a solution that is easier to understand and configure
[11:07] <ikonia> postfix is very well laid out and very well documented
[11:08] <ikonia> up to you what you use

[11:28] <usvi> I have made a patch scanbuttond. the "upstream" source is from 2009 and I'm really not sure whether it is developed at all there. but but, I made a working patch for it in ubuntu. where can I send it?
[11:29] <ikonia> it would need to go upstream
[11:29] <ikonia> as ubuntu pulls from debian
[11:29] <usvi> hmm
[11:30] <usvi> ikonia: do you mean I should send it to somebody at debian ?
[11:31] <ikonia> I mean you should send it to the upsteam sourc
[11:31] <ikonia> source
[11:31] <ikonia> so that it's fed down
[11:31] <ikonia> you can do that through the ubuntu/debian bug reporting system / tool
[11:31] <ikonia> or direct
[11:31] <usvi> ok
[11:32] <usvi> I think upstream is some cvs server on sourceforge XD
[11:33] <usvi> apt-get source scanbuttond shows in debian/changelog:  scanbuttond (0.2.3.cvs20090713-16) unstable; urgency=low   * Orphaned.   -- Milan Zamazal<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Sat, 30 Nov 2013 21:11:22 +0100
[11:33] <ikonia>  why are you showing us that ?
[11:33] <usvi> I guess because I'm stupid
[11:34] <papy_> ikonia: 14.04
[11:34] <ikonia> papy_: how are you sharing the directory ?
[11:35] <papy_> ikonia: with an entry in smb.conf? not sure I understand the question.
[11:35] <ikonia> ok - ao you're running a samba server rather than using the "share" tool
[11:35] <papy_> ikonia: ah, yes.
[11:36] <ikonia> so it stands to reason that the later versions of the windows clients must need an extra setting/change if it works with 7 but not with 8
[11:36] <ikonia> I'd start by researching that
[11:36] <papy_> ikonia: FYI, I updated samba to 4.1.11 with a ppa, but I had the same problem with 4.1.6
[11:37] <ikonia> I'd remove that PPA package set
[11:37] <papy_> ikonia: yes, there are a number of things to try that I found online, but none worked.
[11:37] <papy_> ikonia: ok, why?
[11:37] <ikonia> because PPA is unsupported/ stable is
[11:38] <usvi> ok I'll email that debian guy and ask instructions
[11:38] <usvi> goodbye
[11:48] <TJ-> Hmmm; managed to lock myself out of the laptop for 2 hours this morning, via a GRUB Denial of Service attack. Warning for others: If you're going to debug GRUB, don't use 'debug=all'
[11:55] <helpmepls> Hello
[11:55] <helpmepls> Anyone here able to assist me?
[11:55] <cfhowlett> !ask | helpmepls,
[11:56] <helpmepls> right
[11:56] <helpmepls> I have a hard drive which I use for my operating system which says it has over 900 gigabytes of free space
[11:56] <helpmepls> yet when I look at my home drive it has only 11 megabytes
[11:56] <helpmepls> Making it quite difficult to install anything
[11:57] <ikonia> your home directory is not your root file system
[11:57] <ikonia> they are different things
[11:57] <cfhowlett> helpmepls, terminal command time:   df -h | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:57] <cfhowlett> copy/paste the resulting url here
[11:57] <helpmepls> http://termbin.com/rl9r
[11:58] <cfhowlett> ikonia, /cow          ?  what the hey?
[11:58] <ikonia> not even looksed at it
[11:58] <ikonia> looked
[11:59] <cfhowlett> helpmepls, here's one way to clean up some space: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean
[12:00] <helpmepls> But there shouldnt be any cleaning up needed
[12:00] <helpmepls> I installed ubuntu today
[12:00] <TJ-> helpmepls: It looks like when you installed Ubuntu to sda, you allocated almost all its space to the root file-system in sda1
[12:00] <helpmepls> Is there a way to fix that, TJ? Or do I have to reinstall?
[12:00] <TJ-> helpmepls: You do know you are currently booted from the Live ISO ?
[12:00] <helpmepls> What?
[12:00] <TJ-> helpmepls: Did you remove the USB key after installation?
[12:00] <cfhowlett> this ain't windows.  reinstall is the LAST thing we should be considering
[12:01] <helpmepls> Ah, should I reboot with that outside of it?
[12:01] <TJ-> helpmepls: Errr... it might help :D
[12:01] <helpmepls> Alright, well I'll return.
[12:01] <cfhowlett> still trying to wrap my head around /cow as that seems to be the source or problems
[12:01] <TJ-> cfhowlett: Copy-on-Write, the live image file-system
[12:01] <cfhowlett> have you updated since install?
[12:01] <helpmepls> I tried
[12:01] <TJ-> cfhowlett: it's booted from the Live ISO right now
[12:01] <helpmepls> the update worked
[12:01] <helpmepls> but the upgrade stopped
[12:02] <helpmepls> because it ran out of space
[12:02] <helpmepls> I'll be right back after a reboot
[12:03] <popey> helpmepls: the live cd isn't designed to be updated.
[12:03] <popey> helpmepls: it's for you to install from, onto a hard disk / ssd or indeed other USB device
[12:04] <cfhowlett> popey, how can you identify this as a live CD session?
[12:04] <cfhowlett> curious
[12:04] <popey> cow
[12:05] <cfhowlett> popey, google returned nothing on "/cow + linux"
[12:05] <khax> brap
[12:05] <popey> also rofs
[12:05] <popey> cfhowlett: boot a live cd and type mount and take a look for yourself
[12:05] <EriC^^> cfhowlett: do you have TJ- on ignore by mistake?
[12:05] <cfhowlett> will do.
[12:06] <helpedmethanks> Alright
[12:06] <helpedmethanks> well you can stop trying to wrap your hand around that poor mammal
[12:07] <helpedmethanks> I seemed to have just been a bit of an idiot
[12:07] <cfhowlett> you were booting from CD not from HDD ... :)
[12:07] <helpedmethanks> As it seems
[12:07] <cfhowlett> helpedmethanks, EVERYONE has done that at least once.  so --- all things are good now?
[12:08] <popey> cfhowlett: http://termbin.com/xfn1
[12:08] <popey> i just booted a live cd to show what it looks like
[12:08] <helpedmethanks> Sure looks like it
[12:08] <cfhowlett> popey, thanks.
[12:08] <helpedmethanks> But I will return if/when I run into more issues, almost entirely new to linux.
[12:09] <cfhowlett> !manual | helpedmethanks,  also fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads          start by reading issue #0 and work through to #100.
[12:10] <helpedmethanks> Man, this is already a hundred times more helpful than microsoft support ever was. Thanks a lot.
[12:11] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[12:42] <Furai> Ok, I'm losing my temper slowly. Been fighting with sound on 15.04 and my asus g751jt for way too long.
[12:43] <Furai> Headphones weren't working, I got it to work but then microphone still wasn't working.
[12:43] <lvleph> I have a 4k screen which is causing issues with font sizes, especially in tty. How can I fix the tty font size?
[12:44] <Furai> And now god only knows why I have sound from both speakers and headphones, one being left channel other the right one.
[12:44] <root____8> hi
[12:44] <lvleph> Furai: ctl+alt+t then amixer
[12:44] <lvleph> see if you can fix things that way
[12:45] <trijntje> It looks like I have a failing harddisk. I'm trying to create an image of the disk as backup using dd but I run into input/output errors. What should I do?
[12:46] <TJ-> trijntje: Use 'ddrescue' from the 'gddrescue' package
[12:46] <lvleph> trijntje: backup important files using rsync.
[12:46] <cfhowlett> trijntje, if it's failing, every i/o brings you closer to catastrophic failure.
[12:46] <cfhowlett> consider cloud storage of critical stuff
[12:47] <lvleph> However, as cfhowlett said you are getting closer and closer to complete loss.
[12:48] <Furai> lvleph, I've been fiddling with alsamixer, pavucontrol and everything for quite a while.
[12:48] <Furai> Also alsa-base.ctf
[12:48] <Furai> cnf*
[12:48] <TJ-> If I/O errors have started rsync is no good to you since it will fail as soon as it tries to read a bad sector
[12:49] <TJ-> ddrescue maps the I/O errors and works around them, and tries its hardest to recover everything despite I/O errors
[12:49] <trijntje> lvleph, cfhowlett I know, but what else can I do? I can leave the harddisk and never access it, or read it and risk a failure
[12:49] <lvleph> I would rsync important things to another disk.
[12:50] <cfhowlett> trijntje, back up to the cloud.  no write needed.  box/dropbox are your friends and/or rsync
[12:50] <lvleph> If you have to buy a new drive and a usb external case for it if you can't install directly into your machine.
[12:50] <TJ-> lvleph: rsync is no good if there are I/O errors
[12:51] <Seveas> trijntje: ddrescue is your friend
[12:51] <cfhowlett> trijntje, also: no more boots from the HDD!  boot from USB, copy off the data
[12:51] <trijntje> cfhowlett, I'm trying to dd to another disk, so there's no need to backup to the cloud. It would be too slow anyway
[12:51] <Seveas> trijntje: it's like dd but won't break on failing sectors (but log them) and copy all it can.
[12:51] <popey> another +1 for ddrescue, has helped me in this situation before
[12:51] <trijntje> Seveas, TJ-  I'm reading the ddrescue manual now, thanks
[12:52] <TJ-> trijntje: I had a 2 TB disk in for recovery a while ago... ddrescue recovered all but one 4096 byte sector.
[12:53] <Seveas> TJ-: that's better luck than me. Lost a few meg last time (on a 900gb disk)
[12:53] <TJ-> trijntje: but that sector happened to be in the middle of a critical file-system data structure
[12:53] <TJ-> Seveas: It depends on the extend of the failure I guess, and how fast it degrades, how fast you catch it, etc.
[12:54] <Seveas> TJ-: catching was the problem. Literally. The disk broke when it fell :)
[12:55] <TJ-> Seveas: LOL ... I've been there... and was SO thankfully the disk was fitted with a free-fall detector!
[12:56] <trijntje> TJ-, thats unlucky. I'll have to see how much is damaged, I have had problems for a while, but only in windows, never in ubuntu, so I didn't suspect my harddisk itself
[12:56] <Seveas> This one wasn't mine. The owner of the disk was incredibly happy I recovered most of his irreplacable photos, and was taught about the benefits of backups :)
[12:57] <TJ-> trijntje: As cfhowlett said, stop booting/mounting that drive, Use a USB live ISO. Get a 2nd disk that is at least as big as the failing drive, use ddrescue to recover everything it can to the good drive, then use tools like 'testdisk' 'fsck' and 'photorec' if needed to recover file-systems andfiles
[12:59] <trijntje> TJ-, I've booted from usb. Should I just run ddrescue with the default settings the first time? ddrescue /dev/sdb image logfile
[13:00] <TJ-> trijntje: use smartmontools 'smartctl' to check the SMART diagnostic info the drive firmware stores, it will give you an idea of what the extent of the failure is, and whether it is major damage, or slowly degrading. Probably failing to remap failing sectors.
[13:00] <Seveas> trijntje: yup.
[13:02] <TJ-> trijntje: The other possibiliy is it is just a cable failure ... that is easy to fix
[13:03] <trijntje> TJ-, smart says 'one bad sector', but the disk has been online for 2.5 years, so I guess its getting old. I've put it in another pc so its not a cable problem sadly
[13:03] <Seveas> one bad sector isn't too bad
[13:04] <TJ-> trijntje: It depends if that one bad sector is in a 'bad' place I guess :)
[13:05] <TJ-> trijntje: The Linux kern.log should report the Logical Block Address (LBA) of the failing sector read. Get that number, and you can figure out what data is mapped to the sector. That will help identify how serious the issue is.
[13:05] <trijntje> TJ-, looks like its about 10GB into the disk, so safely in the windows part of the disk
[13:07] <TJ-> trijntje: If it is affecting Linux too, the error could be a mechanical issue that 'moves' rather than being a literal surface defect on a platter
[13:09] <trijntje> TJ-, this is the dmesg output since starting ddrescue http://pastebin.com/GVYqRAX9
[13:14] <TJ-> trijntje: If that is all that fails, you're very lucky
[13:15] <TJ-> trijntje: You might be able to use 'hdparm' to force that sector to be reallocated, if the SMART reallocated count isn't already at its maximum
[13:16] <trijntje> so far so good, ddrescue has read 54G and found one 33kb error.
[13:21] <trijntje> TJ-, this is what smartctl says, I dont really understand the output though: http://pastebin.com/yBymxi8k
[13:24] <TJ-> trijntje: That actually looks very good; There's just 1 pending sector for reallocation, which you can probably force using hdparm. The UDMA CRC error count could indicate problems with the link to the disk controller, or the controller itself, in the original PC.
[13:25] <TJ-> trijntje: Here's a simple overview: http://www.sj-vs.net/forcing-a-hard-disk-to-reallocate-bad-sectors/
[13:27] <trijntje> TJ-, I'm glad that the disk is mostly ok, but I'm not sure I still trust my pc. I've also had it hang at the bios a few times, or suddenly reboot. Could that all be caused by a faulty harddisk (connection)?
[13:28] <TJ-> trijntje: My first suspect would be faulty power supply issues

[13:40] <yppo> How to debug invoke-rc.d errors? ssh restart fails for me...
[13:41] <ikonia> read the log ? manually start it ?
[13:41] <jjavaholic> if I plug in my usb device and it doesn't show up in lsusb does that mean it is broken
[13:42] <ikonia> it means it can't see it as a usb device
[13:44] <hanzo2> hey, all.  i am wondering if anybody can help me set up an ipv6 tunnel.  i have registered a /64 through he, but can't quite figure out how to configure it.
[13:45] <yppo> ikonia: i am doing it manually, are there a log for invoke-rc.d?
[13:45] <ikonia> the system log
[13:45] <yppo> ikonia: cannot find it in /var/log
[13:46] <yppo> ikonia: okey
[13:46] <lotuspsychje> !ipv6 | hanzo2 can this help?
[13:47] <hanzo2> ubottu: it does, thanks, but i read that and followed all steps earlier
[13:47] <hanzo2> oh, darn
[13:51] <yppo> ikonia: it writes nothing in the syslog, the only info i have is "invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "restart" failed.", hard to debug:P
[13:52] <ikonia> manually launch sshd
[13:54] <yppo> running /usr/sbin/sshd gives me "Missing privilege separation directory: /var/run/sshd"
[13:56] <Guest52378> hello, I have ubuntu 14.04, upgrade the kernel 4.1.6 and would like it removed but not to remove it ... when you start the grub loads the kernel 4.1.6
[13:56] <ikonia> so there you go
[13:57] <ikonia> look at that diretory
[13:57] <akik> hanzo2: he.net has documentation on how to configure their ipv6 tunnel
[13:57] <krizoek> i have a computer that sometimes freezes; and im attempting to disable acpi in the grub. someone know how to check if its disabled?
[13:58] <akik> hanzo2: i meant tunnelbroker.net
[13:58] <akik> hanzo2: click your tunnel and then example configurations
[13:58] <auronandace> Guest52378: how did you install 4.1.6?
[13:59] <Kira> Hello all :)
[13:59] <lotuspsychje> krizoek: did you add no_acpi ?
[13:59] <lotuspsychje> Kira: welcome, what can we do for you?
[13:59] <Kira> anyone able to offer a little advice please?
[14:00] <Kira> lotuspsychje: Hi :) i have an old mac pro 1.1 is it possible to install ubuntu on?
[14:00] <lotuspsychje> !mac | Kira
[14:00] <yppo> ikonia: I have no /var/run/sshd dir, should it not be automatically created?
[14:00] <krizoek> lotuspsychje without space, i added noacpi to the general settings-kernel parameters by using grub customizer
[14:01] <Kira> lotuspsychje: thanks :) been looking for that for like an hour ha
[14:02] <ikonia> no,
[14:05] <Kira> lotuspsychje: the following link is not found http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/release/ do you know of another reliable source?
[14:05] <lotuspsychje> Kira: 11.04 is end of life
[14:05] <auronandace> Kira: 11.04 has long since been unsupported
[14:05] <yppo> ikonia: okey, do you know what group I shoud use as owner for /var/run/sshd? I have a user sshd that I guess shoul be used but no group called sshd
[14:06] <Kira> yeah though so..
[14:06] <lotuspsychje> Kira: maybe this can help a bit: http://askubuntu.com/questions/507354/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-on-my-mac-pro-1-1-with-a-raw-hard-drive-by-a-bootabl
[14:06] <ikonia> I think it's root
[14:07] <Kira> thanks again lotuspsychje
[14:07] <Seveas> yppo: are you sure the ssh server is installed?
[14:08] <Seveas> because that directory is created when you install the package and whenever you reboot (/run, which /var/run symlinks to is a temporary in-memory filesystem)
[14:08] <yppo> ikonia: Okey, root:root? or sshd:root?
[14:09] <Seveas> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 sep  1 17:33 /var/run/sshd
[14:09] <ikonia> thanks Seveas
[14:11] <yppo> Seveas: thx
[14:13] <NGC3982> Guys, do you know of any top/nload/CLI software that can keep track of CPU temperature?
[14:14] <ikonia> lmsensors ?
[14:14] <ikonia> and then any sort of graphing tool
[14:14] <cfhowlett> !sensors
[14:14] <NGC3982> lmsensors does not seem to give me interactive information
[14:14] <NGC3982> But forces me to actively run a/the script for every time i want to read the temperature.
[14:14] <HackerII> gkrellm
[14:15] <NGC3982> HackerII: Oh, that sounds like something.
[14:15] <NGC3982> Although, i'm on a server with no X support.
[14:15] <cfhowlett> NGC3982, you might want to read the description.
[14:16] <NGC3982> cfhowlett: Ok.
[14:17] <yppo> ikonia: I can now start sshd but I still get "invoke-rc.d: initscript ssh, action "restart" failed."
[14:17] <yppo> :(
[14:17] <ikonia> it should be logging
[14:18] <yppo> ikonia: i get nothing with tail -f /var/log/syslog
[14:25] <NGC3982> cfhowlett: As far as i can see, the article does not give me a CLI option to monitoring temperature in real time, as with psensor in X.
[14:25] <NGC3982> Do you have any suggestions? I got lm-sensors to properly display my temperature.
[14:26] <mogreen> How do I get to the equivalent of Windows' Task Manager in Ubuntu?  Need to see how much RAM a process/program is taking up
[14:26] <cfhowlett> NGC3982, best I punt this to #bash channel.  pretty sure they'd know how to pipe the temp from sensors > something else
[14:26] <cfhowlett> mogreen, top
[14:26] <yppo> I have read http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/invoke-rc.d.8.html but i cannot fully understand the purpose of invoke-rc anyway, does it just run the action in my case restar for a given script in /etc/init.d?
[14:27] <NGC3982> cfhowlett: I see. Something tells me someone made something for this before (most server owners would like the system temperature available, i guess?). I'll google a bit and ask in that channel. Thanks. :)
[14:27] <NGC3982> cfhowlett: But still, you see what i'm after? Just like top, but for temperature.
[14:28] <NGC3982> Like a CLI Speedfan or something.
[14:28] <cfhowlett> NGC3982, great idea!  ask #ubuntu-server
[14:28] <cfhowlett> I get what you're after, I'm just not knowledgeable
[14:28] <NGC3982> Although, i think i know how..
[14:28] <mtn> mogreen, system monitor, should be easy to find in your menu
[14:28] <NGC3982> the watch command should be able to help me here
[14:28] <NGC3982> Like, watch -n 4 -d sensors
[14:29] <mogreen> mtn: That did the trick thanks :8]
[14:29] <mtn> mogreen, welcome
[14:29] <mogreen> cfhowlett: thanks but I couldn't figure out how to read that
[14:30] <cfhowlett> mogreen, I believe ubuntu has a gui equivalent but I'm on xubuntu so can't specify
[14:34] <NGC3982> cfhowlett: I solved it!
[14:34] <NGC3982> http://android.henjoh.se/Capture3.PNG
[14:34] <cfhowlett> NGC3982, please share!
[14:35] <NGC3982> 'watch -n 1 -d sensors' runs <command> every second.
[14:35] <NGC3982> No graphs or anything, but it fills the purpose in my status screen.
[14:35] <cfhowlett> NGC3982, fair enough.  good work
[14:42] <greg> i  have downloaded sublime in zip format , how to install that zip file?

[14:48] <fl0w> I’m trying to switch user using su. I just created the new user with `adduser —disabled-password newuser`, but when I’m trying to switch to newuser I get the error “No passwd entry for user 'znc’”. What am I missing?

[14:51] <fl0w> But how can a password be the requirement when I added a new user with the —disabled-password flag?
[14:52] <fl0w> akik: I read it as “Give me the password for user X when I know there isn’t one”
[14:53] <akik> fl0w: you can use that account with a ssh key login but not with su
[14:54] <mach20x> anyone have an idea what is going on here in this output? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12295800/
[14:54] <ioria> fl0w how are you logging in ? which command ?
[14:59] <akik> fl0w: when you use su to switch uid, the first thing it asks is the password for the new uid
[14:59] <stevecam> akik, that is correct
[15:01] <fl0w> nvm, the adduser command had failed and never created the user :/
[15:02] <fl0w> and now, it works, so I’m  not sure what you’re saying akik - it doesn’t ask for password.
[15:04] <liquidmetal> I'm using an nvidia card on my laptop. Firefox is able to render webgl while chromium can't - any clue why?

[15:10] <Amoz> CRYPTIIX, that could be caused by a lot of different things, e.g. USB not handling suspend correctly
[15:11] <CRYPTIIX> What should I do to check where the problem is coming from?
[15:11] <CRYPTIIX> I've scoured google and tried multiple different solutions and I'm getting desperate now haha
[15:12] <EriC^^> CRYPTIIX: paste /var/log/kern.log
[15:12] <liquidmetal> Amoz, interesting - I think that might be it.
[15:13] <CRYPTIIX> how much of /var/log/kern.log/? it's very long
[15:13] <gcbirzan_> CRYPTIIX: The bits that look relevant :)
[15:13] <gcbirzan_> CRYPTIIX: Around the time it crashed, that is.
[15:13] <EriC^^> search for suspend
[15:14] <CRYPTIIX> alright, I'm going to recreate the issue. I need to restart my computer so I'll be right back
[15:14] <yppo> In /etc/init.d/ssh, log_daemon_msg is used a log, where does the output from this function go? And where can i find the implemenation of log_daemon_msg on ubuntu, it is a LSB command
[15:19] <AlexQ> Hi guys. I am trying to make two scripts that I could run without sudo that would start and stop my lighttpd, using "service stop/start" command. I created the scripts, set the owner user to root and group to root, and run sudo chmod g+s on both of them, so they ownership and permissions look like "-rwxr-sr-x 1 root root  104 Sep  6 17:12 http-start". But it doesn't work - I still get a pop-up password request from Ubuntu. When I modified
[15:20] <EriC^^> AlexQ: you can't use setgid bits with scripts
[15:21] <CRYPTIIX> Alright I'm back, what was the log I was supposed to look at?
[15:21] <EriC^^> CRYPTIIX: /var/log/kern.log
[15:22] <AlexQ> EriC^^: Why not? So I'd need to write a C program to do that? Because it seems to work well when I copy /usr/bin/id to the same location as the scripts and use setgid on that
[15:22] <AlexQ> EriC^^: Also, how can I prevent the lighttpd server from starting automatically on bootup?
[15:22] <EriC^^> AlexQ: you can put the script in sudo visudo
[15:22] <gp5st> is there any irc clients that won't give "SSL Handshake Failed" errors and then not fix it because it's "a stupid serve config option" like pidgeon? something that's multi-network (well, xmpp and irc at least) would be nice

[15:23] <CRYPTIIX> That is everything that happened at the time of suspend
[15:23] <bekks> CRYPTIIX: Use a pastebin please.
[15:23] <CRYPTIIX> sorry, I'm new to this haha
[15:23] <EriC^^> AlexQ: if you can start lighttpd already from service lighttp start, then add that line in sudo visudo, or set it up that way and add it
[15:24] <EriC^^> AlexQ: sudo update-rc.d -f lighttpd disable should stop it from starting automatically if you're using upstart
[15:24] <CRYPTIIX> Here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/frgqsv95
[15:25] <CRYPTIIX> I put everything that happened after I suspended my computer in the pastebin
[15:26] <AlexQ> THanks, EriC^^
[15:26] <yppo> My ssh restart fails because init_is_upstart, what should I do about this? Im on ubuntu 14.04 and cannot update since because dpkg: error processing package openssh-server (--configure) which is using this feature
[15:26] <EriC^^> AlexQ: no problem
[15:27] <AlexQ> EriC^^: update-rc.d: error: no runlevel symlinks to modify, aborting!
[15:27] <EriC^^> i guess it's not added, can you use service lighttp start to start it?
[15:28] <EriC^^> CRYPTIIX: paste /var/log/dmesg.0
[15:28] <ioria> CRYPTIIX, it'a fresh install ?
[15:29] <CRYPTIIX> Yeah, I reinstalled because I though I put something on here that broke it
[15:29] <AlexQ> EriC^^: Yes, I can use service lighttpd start to start it. What's more, when I run "service" with no sudo, Ubuntu asks me for my passwd automatically, which is kinda new for me
[15:29] <ioria> CRYPTIIX, before it was working ?
[15:30] <CRYPTIIX> It wasn't, I thought maybe I installed something that caused it to happen, and I figured a fresh install would fix it
[15:31] <EriC^^> AlexQ: type ls -l /etc/init/lighttp.conf
[15:31] <CRYPTIIX> Eric^^: heres the pastebin http://pastebin.com/ibyg21Ak
[15:31] <ioria> CRYPTIIX, well,  paste /var/log/dmesg.0    and see if you have this file /usr/share/app-install/desktop/light-locker-settings:light-locker-settings.desktop
[15:32] <CRYPTIIX> ioria: thats the pastebin in my previous message
[15:32] <AlexQ> EriC^^: No such file
[15:32] <EriC^^> CRYPTIIX: did you just suspend?
[15:32] <CRYPTIIX> The last time I suspended was around 11:14
[15:32] <AlexQ> EriC^^: But there's /etc/init.d/lighttpd obviously
[15:32] <CRYPTIIX> And I needed to restart my computer
[15:33] <EriC^^> AlexQ: try sudo update-rc.d lighttp disable
[15:33] <CRYPTIIX> ioria: there is no light-locker-settings file
[15:33] <EriC^^> CRYPTIIX: try to suspend now
[15:34] <EriC^^> and then pastebin /var/log/dmesg.0
[15:34] <AlexQ> EriC^^: update-rc.d: error: cannot find a LSB script for lighttp
[15:34] <AlexQ> EriC^^: I don't know if my OS is using upstart or what.
[15:34] <CRYPTIIX> Eric^^: I haven't done anything. Do you just need the updated dmesg?
[15:34] <nug700> I get really bad screen tearing in youtube and amazon instant video
[15:35] <nug700> however in youtube the tearing only happens when the mouse is over the player
[15:35] <EriC^^> CRYPTIIX: try zgrep suspend /var/log/dmesg.*
[15:35] <EriC^^> CRYPTIIX: try zgrep -H suspend /var/log/dmesg.*

[15:36] <CRYPTIIX> I don't get anything
[15:36] <CRYPTIIX> Eric^^
[15:36] <ioria> CRYPTIIX, please, try again   ls /usr/share/app-install/desktop/light-locker-settings:light-locker-settings.desktop
[15:36] <EriC^^> AlexQ: which os are you using?
[15:36] <AlexQ> EriC^^: Xubuntu 15.04 64 bit

[15:39] <Steve973> Hello.  Is there any way that I can use unity (in ubuntu server 15) with vnc server or nx server?
[15:39] <ioria> CRYPTIIX, ok... do you ahe xscreesaver installed ? dpkg -l xscreensaver
[15:39] <SchrodingersScat> !info ngrep | Yaser_Amiri there's probably many programs like this, but with bash arrays and something like this you may get closer to what you need.
[15:39] <dan> still have huge problems with copy paste... is there any way to put all selections in one?
[15:40] <dan> this policy of having to registers to put thins in is not the right one
[15:40] <dan> please
[15:40] <dan> help
[15:40] <CRYPTIIX> ioria: if it says, un  xscreensaver   <none>       <none>       (no description available), does that mean it isn't installed?
[15:40] <ioria> yep
[15:40] <dan> for instance, i'm in emacs, i am maring text, then have to put it somewhere with the mouse 2
[15:41] <ioria> CRYPTIIX, ok... you can try to mv or rename that file above and install xscreensaver
[15:41] <CRYPTIIX> ioria: just to clarify, which file?
[15:42] <ioria> CRYPTIIX, ls /usr/share/app-install/desktop/light-locker-settings:light-locker-settings.desktop
[15:42] <dan> then i copy text in xterm, there is the nee to use glipper, there i bound Alt+Control+C to show the selection, the last selection in xterm is on the top of the list, but not the bold face one, the one that i really insert
[15:42] <dan> who ever invented this wheel?
[15:42] <CRYPTIIX> ioria: what should I rename it?
[15:42] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  /usr/share/app-install/desktop/light-locker-settings:light-locker-settings.desktop_backup, for example
[15:43] <yppo> nvm, just reinstalled openssh-server in the end, it would be fun to find out the error but now it works
[15:47] <CRYPTIIX> ioria: is there anything I should do after installing xscreensaver?
[15:47] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  did you rename that file ?
[15:47] <CRYPTIIX> ioria: Yes sir
[15:48] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  try to suspend
[15:48] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  install xscreesaver, first
[15:48] <CRYPTIIX> ioria: Alright, I'm going to suspend, If it takes longer than 5 mins to respond, it probably means it didn't work, haha
[15:49] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  good luck
[15:52] <CRYPTIIX_> ioria: No luck :(
[15:52] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  ok, revert the file to original
[15:53] <CRYPTIIX_> ioria: what was the filepath again?
[15:53] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  now it will be different the original is  /usr/share/app-install/desktop/light-locker-settings:light-locker-settings.desktop
[15:54] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  how did you rename it ?
[15:57] <CRYPTIIX_> ioria: I just reverted the file
[15:57] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  ok
[15:58] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  what happens when you resume ?
[15:58] <CRYPTIIX_> ioria, resume from suspend?
[15:58] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  yes
[15:59] <CRYPTIIX_> ioria, the screen is on, but it is black, and there is a white marker in the top right corner
[15:59] <CRYPTIIX_> top left
[15:59] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  so you have to reboot or what ?

[16:04] <k1l_> Enezaus: talk to the manufacturer :)
[16:04] <BluesKaj> take the battery out of the mobo for at lwast 30 mins
[16:04] <k1l_> Enezaus: sometimes they got reset procedures or universal passwords.
[16:05] <Enezaus> k1l_: and if i cant? :s
[16:05] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  how did you install nvidia, from Additional Driver or from command line ?
[16:05] <Enezaus> BluesKaj: im on a laptop so its not easy yo find the battery...
[16:05] <greg> i  have downloaded sublime in zip format , how to install that zip file?
[16:06] <CRYPTIIX_> ioria, additional driver
[16:06] <ioria> f
[16:07] <k1l_> greg: the website where you got that .zip or inside the .zip should be a readme or howtoinstall

[16:08] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  as a try, when you resume you could ctrl-alt-F1 or F2  and then ctrl-alt-F6 of F7 to return to the GUI..
[16:08] <ioria> CRYPTIIX,  but that doesn't sole the issue ... i think
[16:08] <SchrodingersScat> Enezaus: my bios password survived no cmos battery if that's what you mean. should probably check manufacturer's documentation
[16:09] <Enezaus> Is it possible to reset the BIOS PW using the terminal?
[16:09] <ioria> *v

[16:29] <stan_man_can> Hi all. My VPS s running 14.04. I want to move to 15.04. I updated my /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set prompt to normal then ran sudo do-release-upgrade
[16:29] <stan_man_can> the process took about 15 minutes, said it was updating 403 package, installing 24, removing a few, whatever. I had to manaully decide which configs to use. then it prompted for a restart
[16:30] <stan_man_can> it restarted but lsb_release -a still says i'm running 14.04?
[16:30] <AmitKumar> first update it again
[16:30] <AmitKumar> then try for upgrade
[16:30] <AmitKumar> and reboot the system
[16:31] <AmitKumar> hope it will help
[16:31] <stan_man_can> AmitKumar, So, just try again?
[16:31] <AmitKumar> i have done the same it worked
[16:31] <BluesKaj> stan_man_can, you can't upgrade directly to 15.04
[16:31] <AmitKumar> but i did it
[16:32] <stan_man_can> BluesKaj, oh really?
[16:32] <AmitKumar> first installed 14.10 then upgraded to 15.04
[16:32] <BluesKaj> you have to upgrade to 14.10 then 15.04
[16:32] <stan_man_can> BluesKaj, Ohh sorry Yes you're right I just noticed im' on 14.10 now not 14.04
[16:33] <stan_man_can> sorry that was dumb of me
[16:33] <k1l_> stan_man_can: so once again do-release-upgrade
[16:33] <stan_man_can> k1l_, Yeah I"ll just repeat the process
[16:33] <AmitKumar> go for it
[16:33] <stan_man_can> sorry for that guys I should have been paying better attention
[16:33] <stan_man_can> as soon as I saw 14.* I think my brain shut down in a "wtff"
[16:34] <AlexQ> EriC^^: So, how do I properly disable autostart of lighttpd on my Xubuntu, which you said uses system.d?
[16:35] <EriC^^> !systemd
[16:35] <EriC^^> i think you should use systemctl lighttpd disable
[16:35] <saturday_sun> Since the topic are upgrades, can I (next year) upgrade from Server 15.04 to 16.04 LTS? Or am I stuck on the "non-LTS"?
[16:36] <AlexQ> EriC^^: Managed to add my script folder to NOPASSWD record in conf file in /etc/sudoers.d/,thanks.
[16:36] <trijntje> saturday_sun, you'll have to upgrade to 15.10, and then to 16.04
[16:36] <trijntje> after that you can stay on lts if you want
[16:36] <saturday_sun> ok! thanks!
[16:37] <EriC^^> AlexQ: np
[16:37] <asad_> Hi there. When will Ubuntu 16.04 LTS be releasing?
[16:38] <Norbin> does desktop sharing only work locally via LAN btw? like remote desktop?
[16:38] <k1l_> saturday_sun: 15.04 looses support after 9 months so you want to upgrade to 15.10 in this year anyway.
[16:40] <gajus> how does centos 7 compare to ubuntu 15?
[16:40] <ikonia> you can't really compare
[16:41] <gajus> my understanding is that centos is considered more stable than ubuntu. Primarily, because its main repos are lagging behind ubuntu
[16:41] <ikonia> you can't compare
[16:42] <gajus> well, I need to have some criteria to decide whether to use ubunto or centos
[16:42] <gajus> so where do I start?
[16:42] <gajus> It is for a web server
[16:42] <BluesKaj> apples and oranges , silly comparison
[16:42] <ikonia> use what you like
[16:42] <ikonia> or best meets your needs
[16:43] <AmitKumar> how do i configure grub,since i installed ubuntu with window10 in the system and ubuntu is not showing in grub
[16:44] <k1l_> gajus: better ask in ##linux since this is #ubuntu
[16:44] <gajus> k1l_: I am Okay with biased answer.
[16:45] <AlexQ> EriC^^: And what would be the proper way (i.e. to be able to umount from userspace by just clicking "Umount" on the desktop etc.) to automount a NTFS drive on that Xubuntu, on boot up? Guess not by directly using ntfs-3g in /etc/fstab ?
[16:45] <ikonia> gajus: you can't compare
[16:45] <gajus> so far my understanding is this: Ubuntu gives access to the latest tech. This comes at the cost of a less predictable behaviour.
[16:45] <k1l_> gajus: nope. ubuntu got LTS releases
[16:46] <EriC^^> AlexQ: you could add gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdxY to the startup apps or so
[16:46] <gajus> However, this only describes repositories. In case of CentOS you can use custom repos too and make it as much unpredictable.
[16:46] <Norbin> yep use lts and u are safe gajus
[16:46] <gajus> I'd be a lot more interested to know whats the overhead/how do the two compare in terms of performance
[16:46] <k1l_> gajus: we in here cant help you on that decision. we focus on technical ubuntu support in here
[16:47] <ikonia> gajus: you can't compare - grasp that
[16:47] <gajus> Understood
[16:47] <AmitKumar> how do i configure grub,since i installed ubuntu with window10 in the system and ubuntu is not showing in grub
[16:47] <BluesKaj> the suggestion to ask in ##linux iss the right one, gajus
[16:47] <AmitKumar> can anyone suggest me?
[16:48] <gajus> ikonia: Sorry, your statement "You cannot compare" is nonsensical. I *can* compare apples and oranges (http://www.diffen.com/difference/Apples_vs_Oranges). The same way there is a common ground for Ubuntu and CentOS
[16:48] <gajus> BluesKaj: Thanks. I will head to Google.
[16:48] <ikonia> gajus: no. it's not
[16:48] <ikonia> gajus: if you could compare - you'd be researching
[16:48] <BluesKaj> gajus, just click on here ##linux
[16:49] <gajus> Thank you all

[16:58] <liop> Actpa: is your sound is ok? You have icon missing but can you hear played sound?
[16:58] <AlexQ> EriC^^: Thanks, it works well
[16:58] <Actpa> My sound icon is missing and I cant hear sound
[16:59] <wileee> !sound | Actpa
[16:59] <EriC^^> AlexQ: np
[16:59] <liop> Actpa: can you check if your system "see" your sound card?
[17:00] <Actpa> It does Liop
[17:00] <balleyne> Actpa, or, if you try to play an audio file from the command like, like `mplayer something.mp3` -- see if it thinks it's playing but you don't hear anything, or if you get some error you can look up info on?
[17:00] <Actpa> OKAY
[17:00] <Actpa> The sound works
[17:00] <Actpa> just no icon now
[17:01] <TheDailyDriver> Hey guys, somone can help me with my optimus setup and nvidia-prime now? :/ really need help
[17:01] <liop> unity/gnome/xfce/kde or something else?
[17:01] <TheDailyDriver> Gnome
[17:01] <AlexQ> EriC^^: Was quite irritating to get an error from Copy daemon after every reboot, and then need to click to mount that drive and re-select Copy directory after mounting :D. Hope that it mounts it before Copy daemon starts. Could always add some pause command before Copy start command or sth.
[17:01] <AlexQ> Bye!
[17:02] <balleyne> Actpa, what did you do to get it to work?
[17:02] <kalby> Hallo Guys, may i join here
[17:02] <Actpa> I just changed my sound card with alsamixer
[17:02] <Actpa> It wasnt selected.
[17:02] <kalby> halo actpa
[17:02] <Actpa> But I still dont see my sound icon
[17:02] <Actpa> Hi
[17:03] <kalby> how are you doing?
[17:03] <TheDailyDriver> liop: Can you help me?
[17:03] <Actpa> Good, just still figuring out how to get my sound icon to show up and my Mic doesnt work..
[17:03] <Actpa> Thats why I was hoping someone here could help me.
[17:04] <kalby> what linux distro did you use?
[17:04] <Actpa> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[17:04] <BluesKaj> balleyne, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed , after installing run this,  sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[17:04] <kalby> can you find applet from the search menu
[17:04] <balleyne> Actpa, Are you using Unity? Maybe logging out and back in, not that you have the sound card selected?
[17:05] <Actpa> Um What do I search in the search menu
[17:05] <Actpa> just sound?
[17:05] <kalby> well, i am using mint, so i can find Applets, to configure such as icons
[17:06] <wileee> Actpa, Slow down, stop spamming the channel, name the release and desktop, we know you're missing the sound icon.
[17:06] <balleyne> BluesKaj, thanks, yes, I've done that already (a few times, also apt-get purged it and reinstalled). Still getting that error when trying to read any DVDs...
[17:06] <kalby> not sure where with the ubuntu LTS
[17:06] <Actpa> I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64.
[17:06] <gulag2014> You need to install donf editor
[17:07] <kalby> you mean dconf editor?
[17:07] <gulag2014> dconf, yes
[17:07] <BluesKaj> balleyne, have you tried mounting /dev/sr0 or whatever wodim sees your cdrom as ?
[17:07] <kalby> sure, install it first buddy
[17:07] <Actpa> Where do I install it from?
[17:07] <wileee> !who + gulag2014  kalby Actpa
[17:07] <kalby> terminal
[17:07] <Actpa> !who actpa
[17:07] <Actpa> Rip.
[17:08] <wileee> !who | gulag2014  kalby Actpa
[17:08] <Dro__> I have 6 Gb of RAM but my Ubuntu system get always freezing.. viruses?
[17:08] <balleyne> BluesKaj, no, reviewed /etc/fstab to see an entry for it, but haven't tried mounting it manually, How would I do that? `mount /dev/sr0`?
[17:08] <wileee> Actpa, stop just posting.
[17:08] <TheDailyDriver> Guys, someone can help me with the installation of nvidia-prime? Cant get it running...
[17:08] <BluesKaj> balleyne, run wodim --devices to se what dev cdrom desgnation is
[17:08] <Actpa> You're telling me to stop talking?
[17:09] <kalby> the dailydriver, there is bunch of tutorial in the internet
[17:09] <wileee> Actpa, No, stop spamming the channel, this is not chat, no hello's stick to your issue and have some patience.
[17:09] <Actpa> I asked how to install Dconf editor.
[17:09] <kalby> does anyone here ever using metasploit?
[17:09] <Actpa> I'm completely new to Ubuntu.
[17:10] <kalby> actpa okay, wait let me see
[17:10] <wileee> Actpa, why are you asking?
[17:10] <Actpa> I was told I needed it.
[17:10] <kalby> sudo apt-get install dconf-editor
[17:10] <Actpa> thank you
[17:10] <wileee> Actpa, no nick was given, it was for anther read the posts.
[17:11] <gulag2014> Actpa, try sudo apt-get install dconf-editor
[17:11] <Actpa> I did it, thank you.
[17:12] <kalby> gulag: have you ever used mesploit?
[17:12] <TheDailyDriver> kalby ive got problems with it. Its NOT working. Thats why im here. I was trying around over 10 hours
[17:12] <k1l_> kalby: metasploit is not in the focus of this channel
[17:12] <balleyne> BluesKaj, getting a "Cannot open SCSI driver!" error when I run wodim devices, looking that up. (I'm pretty sure it's /dev/sr0 based on modification times because it gets updated every time I eject)
[17:12] <Actpa> Where can I find the sound applet inside search? Mine has dissapeared on the top right bar.
[17:12] <kalby> kill: alright then
[17:12] <gulag2014> Actpa, When you get it open look for this path, com, cononical, indicator
[17:13] <kalby> what can i ask? kill?
[17:13] <kalby> actpa, can you open the dconf?
[17:13] <k1l_> kalby: the focus of this channel is the technical ubuntu support.
[17:14] <kalby> kill: okay
[17:14] <Actpa> gulag2014: none of those worked.
[17:14] <blah-> how to create root on ubuntu?
[17:14] <blah-> my default is a user only
[17:14] <k1l_> blah-: you dont
[17:14] <k1l_> !sudo | blah-
[17:15] <blah-> i cannot log-in su
[17:15] <gulag2014> Actpa, so there was no sound indicator for you to choose visible or not?
[17:15] <blah-> so root is not possible?
[17:15] <Actpa> Nope. not that I could find. It was available last night and I turned off my PC to go to sleep and today nothing.
[17:15] <EriC^^> blah-: sudo -i to get a root shell
[17:15] <wileee> blah-, Ubuntu is designed for that not being needed and can be troublesome.
[17:15] <kalby> actpa: did you have the answer, look at this http://askubuntu.com/questions/483397/missing-sound-volume-icon-on-screen-top-14-04
[17:16] <k1l_> blah-: ubuntu is build around not using the root account. if need a command with root permissions you use sudo. see the bots message
[17:16] <blah-> sudo -i if i will use the root shell
[17:16] <gulag2014> Actpa, What I meant was in "dconf"
[17:16] <Actpa> kalby: When I run that in terminal I get this error:    gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound visible true
[17:16] <blah-> but if i'm using the terminal only, i cannot use/connect the root itself right?
[17:16] <Actpa> whops
[17:16] <Actpa> No such schema 'com.canonical.indicator.sound'
[17:17] <k1l_> !root | blah-
[17:17] <k1l_> blah-: please read the bots messages
[17:17] <EriC^^> blah-: if you need a root shell, sudo -i
[17:17] <gulag2014> Actpa, Are you using the gui?
[17:17] <blah-> ahhhh
[17:17] <blah-> thanks guys.
[17:17] <Actpa> Terminal GUI?
[17:17] <dantheman1800> doesn't sudo passwd let you set s a root password?
[17:18] <k1l_> dantheman1800: and that is the best way out of the supported ubuntu way.
[17:18] <mach20x> this is a rather fishy output http://paste.ubuntu.com/12297405/
[17:18] <Actpa> blah-: You can do 'sudo passwd' then enter a root password, after you've done that you can type 'sudo -i' and enter that password.
[17:18] <k1l_> Actpa: dantheman1800 that is not supported
[17:18] <EriC^^> Actpa: that isn't right..
[17:18] <Actpa> That will give you a # instead of a $ indictating you have root access.
[17:18] <Actpa> I just did it last night.
[17:18] <blah-> Actpa, ok i will try it now.
[17:18] <SchrodingersScat> but you can sudo -i first...
[17:18] <Norbin> guys, any decent app for screenshots taking, pref with upload option? such as ShareX on windows if u know it
[17:18] <blah-> ok
[17:18] <EriC^^> Actpa: you don't need sudo passwd to use sudo -i
[17:19] <Actpa> I know you dont.
[17:19] <k1l_> blah-: dont set a root password.
[17:19] <mach20x> the problem with the output in that pastebin is the fact that both cards are in actuality the same card (3600 series)
[17:19] <k1l_> Actpa: stop giving bad advise!
[17:19] <kalby> norbin: why do you need an apps for screenshot?
[17:19] <SchrodingersScat> advice
[17:19] <EriC^^> Actpa: also the password you enter after sudo -i, isn't the root password you've set
[17:20] <blah-> Actpa, i think it is not working
[17:20] <blah-> i type sudo -i
[17:20] <TJ-> mach20x: They are on different PCI busses
[17:20] <blah-> ohh not possible
[17:20] <balleyne> BluesKaj, seems like the wodim error isn't relevant. I can run `wodim dev=/dev/sr0 --devices` and confirm that /dev/sr0 is the DVD drive
[17:21] <Norbin> kalby,  mainly for automatic upload i guess ;oo
[17:21] <Norbin> to sites like imgur
[17:21] <Norbin> ; 0
[17:21] <blah-> so, whenever i run packages, i will login only the user right?
[17:21] <mach20x> yes they are, but they are both the same model of video card... I just have two of them and one of the pci's are reading i lower version...
[17:21] <k1l_> blah-: no
[17:21] <blah-> i'm using synaptic also
[17:21] <k1l_> blah-: you can run root-tasks like "apt-get " with sudo. "sudo apt-get update"
[17:21] <BluesKaj> balleyne, that's odd...then i have no ideas left
[17:22] <blah-> ahhh
[17:22] <blah-> so that's why there is a sudo it means that is the root
[17:22] <balleyne> BluesKaj, I know! Very odd, can't figure this out... Thanks anyways!
[17:22] <blah-> like sudo apt-get install irssi
[17:22] <k1l_> blah-: please read the bots messages: they do explain it
[17:22] <kalby> Norbin: well, i get your point. maybe you can google it bro
[17:22] <Actpa> kalby:  when I run this command in terminal "gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound visible true" I get this error "gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound visible true"
[17:22] <k1l_> !root | blah-
[17:22] <gulag2014> Actpa, accept my screenshot
[17:23] <mach20x> yes su=root do=what you do, hence sudo
[17:23] <Actpa> How Gulag.
[17:23] <k1l_> !root > blah-
[17:23] <blah-> ok
[17:23] <blah-> thanks
[17:23] <blah-> wait..
[17:23] <kalby> Actpa: you dont copy paste with double mark right?
[17:24] <kalby> actpa: (") i mean that maek
[17:24] <kalby> mark*
[17:25] <olverclock> Alguem que fale portugues ?
[17:26] <k1l_> !pt | olverclock
[17:26] <olverclock> obrigado você?
[17:26] <olverclock> obrigado você!
[17:27] <kalby> olverclock, can you speak english?
[17:28] <DJones> olverclock: This channel is English language only, but for portugese/brazilian language chat/support. please use #ubuntu-pt
[17:28] <Smarty> is this a help channel?
[17:28] <wileee> !topic | Smarty
[17:28] <k1l_> Smarty: a ubuntu help channel, yes
[17:28] <DJones> Smarty: Its an Ubuntu support channel
[17:29] <blah-> i got it
[17:29] <blah-> thanks k1l_
[17:30] <gulag2014> So I lost color changes for directories in the terminal? What do I need to do to set --color on directories permanent ?
[17:30] <Smarty> My laptop is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Sa 3650    when I close the lid and it goes to sleep, it never come back! I had to force shutdown. Is there any fix?
[17:31] <EriC^^> gulag2014: check ~/.bashrc , did you modify it recently?
[17:31] <TJ-> mach20x: When you said 'they are in fact the same card' you make it sound like you mean they are the same device, *not* that you think they should be the same model. It's surprisingly common that the same brand/model has multiple hardware IDs... often due to product revisions
[17:33] <gulag2014> Eric, I tried finding that file is it in etc? I found a bash.bashrc ?
[17:34] <EriC^^> gulag2014: no it should be in your home dir
[17:34] <EriC^^> type ls -l ~/.bashrc
[17:36] <gulag2014> Eric, okay found it. Color=auto. is that what it should be?
[17:38] <Smarty> My laptop is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Sa 3650    when I close the lid and it goes to sleep, it never come back! I had to force shutdown.  Thanks for helping me locating bashrc.
[17:44] <EriC^^> gulag2014: ok, np
[17:46] <olverclock> Good afternoon  I dual boot Ubuntu 15.04 and Windows 10  for some grub problem has error  Could anyone help me?
[17:47] <EriC^^> olverclock: what's the error?
[17:48] <gulag2014> What is the error? I had an issue and Windows 10 was displaying as recovery and that was the actual Windows 10 entry.
[17:48] <mach20x> TJ-: I bought them at the same time when I got them both, there shouldn't be any difference between the two.
[17:50] <Smarty> can anyone help??
[17:50] <Actpa> Right
[17:50] <Actpa> I fixed my Sound applet issue
[17:50] <olverclock> error: no such partirion Entering rescue mode
[17:51] <EriC^^> olverclock: that happens when you click on ubuntu?
[17:52] <olverclock> The ubuntu partition disappeared just have the windows boot and local windows 10
[17:53] <EriC^^> olverclock: do you have a live usb?
[17:53] <gulag2014> olverclock, you could use a bcd editor, or download the ubuntu recovery disk that will restore your grub menu.
[17:53] <olverclock> I'm in the ubuntu live dvd
[17:54] <trijntje_> I have created an image of a complete harddisk using ddrescue, how can I tell ubuntu to treat the file like a device and look for partitions on it?
[17:55] <EriC^^> olverclock: type sudo parted -l and paste in paste.ubuntu.com
[17:55] <gulag2014> olverclock, I never tried the live cd to fix grub menus, I have one I labeled "Boot Repair" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[17:56] <Actpa> Anyone here mind helping me with a Microphone issue?
[17:57] <EriC^^> trijntje_: sudo losetup /dev/path/to/img , i'm not sure exactly
[17:57] <EriC^^> */path/to/img
[17:57] <eraggo> Actpa: waht kind of microphone issue?
[17:58] <olverclock> I tried using the boot-repair program with graphical user interface.
[17:58] <olverclock> he bore me an online report at the following url.
[17:58] <olverclock> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12297440/
[17:58] <Actpa> eraggo: I have skype and my internal laptop mic is unavilable atm
[17:58] <Actpa> no idea why
[17:58] <Actpa> I tried using a bunch of programs to fix it.
[17:58] <Actpa> nothing worked.
[17:58] <eraggo> Actpa: can you see internal microphone in sound settings?
[17:59] <Actpa> Yes.
[17:59] <Actpa> It just says unavilable for some reason.
[17:59] <Actpa> oh shit
[17:59] <Actpa> no not in sound settings
[17:59] <io__> Hi
[17:59] <Actpa> It just shows one microphone.
[18:00] <Actpa> When I right click my sound applet at the top right and choose sound settings, it brings me to system settings and I dont know how to get to sound settings.
[18:00] <olverclock> boot -repair did not work
[18:00] <eraggo> Actpa: that's right place.
[18:01] <Actpa> eraggo: How do I get to my sound settings from there?
[18:01] <eraggo> what does it say in input tab?
[18:01] <EriC^^> olverclock: it looks like you're missing the partition type, and also you used to have sda5 and sda6 but have disappeared
[18:01] <Actpa> eraggo: There is no sound settings. It brings me to system settings and not sound settings when I click on it under the sound applet
[18:02] <olverclock> EriC^^, the command returned Error: Invalid partition table on /dev/sda -- wrong signature 0.
[18:02] <EriC^^> olverclock: does windows boot right now?
[18:02] <Norbin> Ubuntu 15.04, I5 6600k+Intel HD 530, I can't quite explain it but I am having graphics issues. I can fire up a game like dota2 and the whole system would freeze. I can just watch a stream and I can see the screen shutters... even when I just open apps on full screen (Got 2 monitors) on my monitors, sometime it will just flash for a second.... weird graphics issues... which way do I go to resolve this?
[18:02] <eraggo> Actpa: what version of ubuntu are running on?
[18:02] <Actpa> eraggo: 14.04 LTS
[18:02] <Actpa> eraggo: x64
[18:03] <eraggo> Actpa: weird. It should open sound settings. can you open alsamixer in console?
[18:03] <Actpa> eraggo: yep
[18:03] <Actpa> eraggo: I got it open.
[18:03] <olverclock> EriC^^, Ubuntu was in sda4 partition
[18:04] <kalby> actpa: did you get your answer
[18:04] <Actpa> kalby: yes for the sound applet, now working on fixing my Mic.
[18:04] <ShalokShalom> hi there
[18:04] <ShalokShalom> @web admins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM_with_.22Checksums_calculator.22
[18:04] <CiAnA> bonsoir
[18:04] <ShalokShalom> the link (here) is a 404 now
[18:05] <EriC^^> olverclock: try sudo parted -l and paste it
[18:05] <wileee> ShalokShalom,  not hetre
[18:05] <ShalokShalom> that one is correct: www.checksumcalculator.com/
[18:06] <wileee> ShalokShalom, Both work and this is not the right place to notify.
[18:06] <ShalokShalom> and only a exe now, no os x and linux anymore, for which reason so ever
[18:06] <kalby> my /home partition is needed more size, does anyone know how to do it without backing up my data?
[18:07] <ShalokShalom> http://sinf.gr/en/hashcalc.html does NOT work
[18:07] <ShalokShalom> and i report, where i want
[18:07] <k1l> ShalokShalom: hmm. i can change the link, but is there another solution working on all OS?
[18:07] <ShalokShalom> be happy, that i do it, thanks
[18:07] <trijntje_> kalby, no, you always have to make a backup before changing partitions
[18:07] <ShalokShalom> k1l: i dont know, any, sorry :/
[18:07] <kalby> i use gparted, but it has to be with live cd, can i do it directly when i am in the installed system?
[18:08] <ShalokShalom> ROSA image writer in the future, there is a bug report open
[18:08] <ShalokShalom> its a image writer, which plan to include md5 checking
[18:08] <trijntje_> kalby, no, and please make a backup of all important data before changing your partitions
[18:08] <ShalokShalom> like Win32 image writer
[18:08] <EriC^^> olverclock: is windows booting right now?
[18:09] <EriC^^> olverclock: i think you're missing information about the partitions and maybe testdisk can help, but it would be best if you backed up any important data first
[18:09] <campee> for some reason my mouse laptop's touchpad has stopped working after upgrading to xubuntu 15.10. i checked "settings" and verified that the device is enabled. i ran "evtest" against /dev/input/eventX and when i move my finger around on the touchpad and i see a ton of output, so it's picking up the device properly. any ideas?
