[00:00] <HelenaKitty> ronsor, :)
[00:00] <k1l_> HelenaKitty: ronsor this is the wrong channel for drama. stick to the guidelines or leave.
[00:00] <HelenaKitty> What?
[00:00] <HelenaKitty> I am waiting for a bit of support! Not may fault some randomer joined and started talking to me!
[00:00] <albert> bubbasaures, i clicked the bubble in software and updates, now i dont see it anymore after i rebootd, but dont see it in network connections
[00:01] <linux> like when i go to install it on my chromebook itll say tht its installed to hit enter to reboot and i do and ti gets stuck on the loading screen and says something like faled to boot or something like tht and it still has the files to the crubuntu tht i anitanally had but then like claboom im stuck in chrome os
[00:01]  * HelenaKitty sits and waits silently
[00:02] <linux> i want the crubuntu not chrome os i want my crubuntu back
[00:02] <linux> but its not letting me install it
[00:03] <bubbasaures> linux, Can you open gparted and take a screen shot and put it in a imagebin
[00:03] <linux> all cuz i fed up and put cgpt add -i 6 -P 5 -T 1 -S 0 /dev/sda in the cmd prompt
[00:03] <linux> and no i cant
[00:03] <HelenaKitty> linux, Why don't you install Ubuntu natively?!
[00:03] <albert> #nick pimpin
[00:04] <Rexter> HelenaKitty, a lot of that in here today, at least you had the balls to just say it.
[00:04] <linux> i cant do tht eather it wont let me
[00:04] <HelenaKitty> CrUbuntu isn't native.
[00:04] <HelenaKitty> Lol?
[00:04] <HelenaKitty> Are you sure you're using an x86 chromebook?!
[00:04] <Ben64> linux: only official ubuntu releases are supported here
[00:04] <Flannel> linux: You might try #chrubuntu, they hopefully can help you more than we can.
[00:04] <HelenaKitty> YOu're asking for support with CrUbuntu well this is native Ubuntu not CrUbuntu.
[00:05] <linux> ik when i use crouton or just  install it it wont let me
[00:05] <HelenaKitty> Now... if you atleast tried to install Ubuntu natively then we'd be luctant enough to support you with Ubuntu on your chromebook.
[00:05] <Flannel> linux: This is definitely a chromebook specific issue, you're unlikely to find anyone here who knows anything about it.  Try #chrubuntu
[00:06] <linux> kk
[00:06] <HelenaKitty> linux, I can't go as far as helping you with Chromebook hardware issues.
[00:06] <albert> how do i find out if my wirless pci card is working
[00:06] <linux> is there a channel for chromebook help
[00:06] <EriC^^> albert: iwlist scan ?
[00:06] <HelenaKitty> linux, Try #crubuntu
[00:07] <linux> kk
[00:07] <HelenaKitty> Once you've found out how to get Ubuntu on natively we can help you again.
[00:07] <HelenaKitty> with things in Ubuntu.
[00:07] <EriC^^> linux: or #chrubuntu
[00:07] <albert> EriC^^, interface not supported
[00:07] <HelenaKitty> Until then you need to go to that channel.
[00:07] <Flannel> HelenaKitty: Lay off.
[00:07] <HelenaKitty> Flannel, Lay off what?
[00:07] <Flannel> HelenaKitty: He's been told a number of times already, including a few by you, you don't need to keep repeating it.
[00:07] <tsunade> :popcorn:
[00:08] <HelenaKitty> I doubt #Chrubuntu are gonna how somebody with a native install when they run into problems!
[00:08] <HelenaKitty> Oh that. Okay understood. :)
[00:08] <Rexter> This channel is a mess today. Who's running this channel?
[00:09] <cryptodan> its being ran by the Penguins of Madagascar
[00:09] <albert> anyone know how to check for a pci card on zorin
[00:09] <EriC^^> albert: lspci -v
[00:10] <k1l_> albert: ask the zorin support because we dont know how they handle the drivers and modules and repositories
[00:10] <HappyNewYear13> what does native mean here? "the native Linux version of FireFox"
[00:11] <linux> could always just get a new hard drive
[00:11] <dominic1134> Hi guys, just want to inform you about a new open source email communication gateway project for ubuntu.  check it out www.openas.org  /  feel free to join us in #openas
[00:11] <Rexter> happyNewYear13; what the hell are you asking?
[00:11] <dominic1134> sorry.
[00:11] <albert> EriC^^, i see network controller how do i make it work ?
[00:11] <HappyNewYear13> i wanted to play isketch online after so many years and i just learned shockwave player is not available for linux
[00:12] <k1l_> HappyNewYear13: firefox offers several versions for windows and linuxes. so use the one from the ubuntu repos. that is made working with ubunut already
[00:12] <HappyNewYear13> Rexter, wikipedia says "It is also possible to use Shockwave in the native Linux version of FireFox by using the Pipelight plugin"
[00:12] <chrismatic> @HappyNewYear13 Shockwave Player == Flash player, I presume? If so, it is available for Firefox on ubuntu

[00:12] <EriC^^> albert: usually you can check which drivers are loaded, etc. check the zorin channel for more info, please dont paste in the channel.
[00:13] <HappyNewYear13> chrismatic, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Shockwave#Platform_support
[00:13] <Flannel> HappyNewYear13: Native there is in contrast to a (windows) firefox running inside of wine.
[00:13] <HappyNewYear13> Flannel, cool. thank you

[00:14] <HappyNewYear13> chrismatic, thank you very much
[00:15] <albert> anyone know a zorin channel
[00:15] <k1l_> albert: see their website where you can ask their specialists
[00:16] <albert> k1l_, its same as ubuntu

[00:27] <HappyNewYear13> what problem?
[00:28] <HappyNewYear13> what problem? fingertips
[00:29] <fingertips> HappyNewYear13, :)
[00:30] <HappyNewYear13> is it sexual?

[00:30] <fingertips> HappyNewYear13, This system has avahi on it can you explain how I can manually enter the names of servers to the local DNS cache and explain how to save it for reuse?
[00:31] <HappyNewYear13> i know zilck about avahi
[00:31] <fingertips> ubottu, avahi
[00:31] <HappyNewYear13> it's zilch
[00:31] <HappyNewYear13> who is here an avahi expert?
[00:31] <fingertips> Guest91402, welcome
[00:32] <fingertips> I suppose I can start with a hostnames file.
[00:32] <shadaloo> hello i downloaded nvidia's linux drivers directly from nvidia.com and now i get the following error on login: 'unity-panel-service' and cannot load unity
[00:32] <fingertips> Where is the hostnames file on ubuntu?
[00:32] <shadaloo> can someone help me please
[00:32] <fingertips> shadaloo, first rule of inquisition do not ask for 'help'
[00:32] <HappyNewYear13> /etc/hosts
[00:32] <shadaloo> -.-
[00:33] <fingertips> Guest91402, I was shown to treat guests well.
[00:33] <Ben64> shadaloo: the drivers from nvidia.com are not recommended and not supported in this channel
[00:33] <chrismatic> @shadaloo what's broken?
[00:33] <shadaloo> Ben64: I can see why
[00:34] <shadaloo> Ben64: can you suggest a User interface like fluxbox or something so I can at least get back into my system
[00:34] <Ben64> shadaloo: well the real reason is because they're already in the ubuntu repositories
[00:34] <shadaloo> chrismatic: I broke unity
[00:34] <Ben64> !nvidia | shadaloo
[00:34] <shadaloo> chrismatic: after I login I get a system problem detected and then cannot do anything in the GUI/run programs
[00:34] <Ben64> shadaloo: uninstall the nvidia ones you got and follow the above instructions
[00:35] <fingertips> Guest91402, Don't mind the noise, is there anything I can do for you?
[00:35] <shadaloo> Ben64: how do I uninstall the nvidia ones?
[00:35] <Ben64> shadaloo: dunno, check the thing you installed
[00:35] <chrismatic> sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
[00:35] <fingertips> HappyNewYear13, appreciated, does /etc/hosts override all network lookups?
[00:35] <Ben64> chrismatic: won't have an effect on manually installed drivers
[00:36] <shadaloo> chrismatic: cheers
[00:36] <chrismatic> @Ben64 didn't realize they were manually installed. Sorry.
[00:36] <shadaloo> I will try that
[00:36] <Ben64> shadaloo: won't accomplish anything
[00:36] <chrismatic> If you didn't install them via apt, the above won't do anything.
[00:36] <HappyNewYear13> fingertips, i don't know friend i am not a network expert
[00:36] <shadaloo> chrismatic: I did not
[00:36] <chrismatic> Okay.
[00:37] <chrismatic> Locate the installer file you downloaded
[00:37] <chrismatic> (It's probably a .run file)
[00:37] <chrismatic> And run it with --uninstall
[00:37] <shadaloo> Ben64: what is in the VideoDriverHowto?
[00:37] <fingertips> HappyNewYear13, this is answered better by knowing how ubuntu is put together, but honest answers are always rewarded
[00:37] <HappyNewYear13> fingertips, it must because bad software always want attack the local hosts file
[00:37] <Ben64> shadaloo: all sorts of stuff... can you not browse to it
[00:37] <shadaloo> Ben64: I could use lynx
[00:38] <shadaloo> chrismatic: it is indeed a .run file
[00:38] <el3> Hey. I cannot get my ethernet to work on lubuntu. When I do a ifconfig it only gets a mac adress, no ip.
[00:38] <Ben64> shadaloo: uninstall nvidia first, you may get a usable desktop after
[00:38] <chrismatic> @shadaloo right. So, sudo yourRunFile.run --uninstall
[00:38] <shadaloo> Ben64: chrismatic what is the syntax to uninstall the
[00:38] <shadaloo> chrismatic: ok will give it a go
[00:39] <Wayward_Vagabond> Anybody know of a program I can use to split about 40 PDFs (one image per page) into individual images?
[00:39] <chrismatic> @Wayward_Vagabond pdftk
[00:40] <chrismatic> @Wayward_Vagabond pdftk has a "burst" command
[00:40] <pl1x> any way to get visual studio running on linux?
[00:40] <shadaloo> chrismatic: says command not found
[00:40] <Ben64> pl1x: doubtful
[00:41] <Wayward_Vagabond> chrismatic: Thanks, I'll look into that
[00:41] <chrismatic> @shadaloo did you cd into the directory that has your .run file?
[00:41] <shadaloo> I tried to ./nvidia-blahblah.run and it said denied (as root)
[00:41] <gshmu> hello, how to show U+1f440 etc....
[00:41] <shadaloo> chrismatic: yes of course
[00:41] <chrismatic> Hmm. Mind doing a paste.ubuntu.com with an ls, the run, and the error you're getting?
[00:41] <shadaloo> chrismatic: I am in the command line
[00:42] <pl1x> Ben64: hm any alternives?
[00:42] <Ben64> pl1x: theres tons
[00:43] <chrismatic> @shadaloo clbin

[00:44] <chrismatic> @shadaloo (stuff_to_paste is a file with the stuff to paste; sorry for the bad name)
[00:45] <fingertips> HappyNewYear13, Is much more known about how /etc/hosts functions there? I am trying to figure out what happens when multiple numbers are specified for the same name.
[00:45] <shadaloo> chrismatic: how do I copy stuff?

[00:46] <sissie> my netgear wireless card doesn't work with ubuntu studio
[00:46] <fingertips> Ubuntu has come to the "fork in the road"
[00:46] <sissie> newest version of ubuntu...just downloaded it
[00:47] <Ben64> shadaloo: ls >> pastefile; sudo ./nvidia-blah.run --uninstall >> pastefile; cat pastefile | curl -F 'clbin=<-' https://clbin.com
[00:47] <HappyNewYear13> fingertips, you mean chicken in the road?
[00:47] <sissie> any suggestions on cards that'll work out of the box?
[00:48] <fingertips> I have downloaded 10.04.4 server kids and plan on blocking google.
[00:48] <lickalott> gents, my nzbget recently stopped working.  i keep getting this error - /usr/local/bin/nzbget: error while loading shared libraries: libpar2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.  I've tried to update libpar2 (apt-get) but nothing has changed.
[00:48] <Ben64> fingertips: why? 10.04 server loses support in 5 months
[00:48] <lickalott> to be more precise, I would like assistance on updating/upgrading libpar
[00:48] <fingertips> Ben64, Looks like a last chance to fork it away from google.
[00:49] <Ben64> fingertips: that makes no sense
[00:49] <HappyNewYear13> fingertips, shy you want to block google?
[00:49] <gshmu> 👍  my computer can't show liks this "👍"
[00:49] <fingertips> Ben64, Why do you compute that it makes no sense?
[00:50] <Ben64> lickalott: pastebin "apt-cache policy libpar2-1 libpar2-1-dbg libpar2-dev nzbget"
[00:50] <Ben64> fingertips: because it makes no sense
[00:50] <HappyNewYear13> gshmu, do you see mine? 💋
[00:50] <HappyNewYear13> gshmu, it's a kiss
[00:50] <gshmu> HappyNewYear13: not see
[00:51] <fingertips> If you had one shot or one opportunity to sieze everything you ever wanted would you capture it or just let it slip?
[00:51] <gshmu> 01f48b
[00:51] <Ben64> gshmu: you need a font with support for the emoji characters
[00:51] <HappyNewYear13> i installed utopic from scratch and i can see them now
[00:51] <HappyNewYear13> i saw your hand gshmu
[00:51] <gshmu> apt-get install what ???
[00:51] <lickalott> Ben64, http://pastebin.com/4FBqgjuZ
[00:51] <fingertips> Ben64, Are you telling me to go SSD?
[00:51] <HappyNewYear13> apt-get install emojis-are-cool
[00:51] <Guest33402> Hello
[00:52] <gshmu> thanks
[00:52] <Ben64> fingertips: i'm asking you to make sense, or if you'd like, you can continue making no sense in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:52] <HappyNewYear13> gshmu, i was joking
[00:52] <Guest33402> Apparently, I can't get anyone to talk to me on the Deepin channel :/
[00:52] <Guest33402> I was just wondering if someone could a few questions
[00:52] <Ben64> Guest33402: only ubuntu is supported here, sorry
[00:52] <gshmu> HappyNewYear13: I don't which package
[00:52] <Guest33402> Darn...
[00:53] <albert> how do i connect to internet via my wireless adapter
[00:53] <HappyNewYear13> HappyNewYear13, i don't know either. i would tell it to you
[00:53] <Guest33402> Anyone know where I could talk to someone for answers then?
[00:53] <HappyNewYear13> gshmu, , i don't know either. i would tell it to you
[00:53] <Ben64> Guest33402: probably the deepin channel
[00:53] <Guest33402> That's what I've tried actually. But, there's only a bot in there, and no one else answers me...
[00:54] <gshmu> HappyNewYear13: thanks anyway
[00:54] <fingertips> Ben64, I have no problem making sense, but are you prepared to accept it?
[00:54] <HappyNewYear13> gshmu,  sudo apt-get install ttf-ancient-fonts
[00:54] <Ben64> Guest33402: if having an active support channel is something you'd like, maybe deepin isn't the distro for you
[00:54] <igoryonya> when I try to CONNECT on squid, I get the following error: URL http://<IP_ADDRESS>:2042/; The administrator may not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers. This only happens, when trying to CONNECT to ip addresses, when using domains, it works fine.
[00:54] <HappyNewYear13> gshmu, google said
[00:54] <k1l_> albert: see the zorin support, since you use zorin.
[00:54] <albert> k1l_, nobody there its the same as ubuntu
[00:55] <lickalott> Ben64, anything there stand out to you?
[00:55] <k1l_> albert: if you dont like their support dont use their os. its not the same as ubuntu, then it would be called ubuntu, right?
[00:55] <albert> k1l_, guess ill try ubuntu
[00:55] <Guest33402> Well, right now, I have Ubuntu on here. Just...I've had problems with staying with one distro. I've constantly switched between distros, and I'd like to find one that I will actually stick with...
[00:55] <Ben64> lickalott: looks normal, not sure why you're getting errors
[00:55] <el3> Hey. I cannot get my ethernet to work on lubuntu. When I do a ifconfig it only gets a mac adress, no ip. And on the router I see the mac address is connected.
[00:55] <gshmu> HappyNewYear13: thanks very much, I'm did not find it
[00:55] <reisio> Guest33402: problems?
[00:56] <chrismatic> @el3 please paste the output of ifconfig on paste.ubuntu.com so we can look at it
[00:56] <Ben64> lickalott: wait, did you install nzbget in a different way
[00:57] <lickalott> don't think so.  its been working fine.  i think this issue started with my last update/upgrade
[00:57] <Guest33402> I started with ubuntu, but finding other distros broadened my horizions a lil. But now, since I've tried these other ones, I don't know which one to stick with...
[00:57] <Rexter> albert, you're not even in the Zorin channel.
[00:57] <shadaloo> chrismatic:
[00:57] <albert> Rexter, whats chennel name again ?
[00:57] <shadaloo> now I cannot even login to the desktop to see an error message
[00:57] <Rexter> #ZorinOS
[00:58] <lickalott> Guest33402, ubuntu and fedora are my favs (if that's worth anything)
[00:58] <k1l_> 12
[00:58] <shadaloo> and when I try a guest session the system reloads the login screen
[00:58] <Guest33402> I've tried Fedora myself, and I didn't really come to like it
[00:58] <shadaloo> should I reinstall X?
[00:58] <Ben64> shadaloo: define "it"
[00:58] <HappyNewYear13> gshmu, you must enable universe in the sources
[00:58] <Guest33402> I've come to like Ubuntu, Mint, Ubuntu GNOME, Elementary OS, and Deepin.
[00:59] <gshmu> HappyNewYear13: thanks, it's ok
[00:59] <Guest33402> But, as I said, I can't decide between them now...
[00:59] <shadaloo> Ben64: I did not say it
[00:59] <Ben64> Guest33402: thats great, but not on topic here. pick what you like
[00:59] <shadaloo> what do you mean
[00:59] <lickalott> Ben64, just noticed a new stable version as of the 9th of Nov.  i'll try and install that one and report back.
[00:59] <Ben64> shadaloo: i read incorrectly, sorry. did you uninstall nvidia?
[00:59] <shadaloo> Ben64: yes
[00:59] <Ben64> lickalott: how are you installing? you should not be doing so manually
[00:59] <lickalott> repos?
[01:00] <lickalott> ^ was a question
[01:00] <Ben64> lickalott: i see that nzbget is in /usr/local/bin .... it shouldn't be
[01:00] <Ben64> shadaloo: sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms linux-headers$(uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g)
[01:00] <Ben64> shadaloo: what nvidia card do you have?
[01:01] <lickalott> I was just about to follow this - http://nzbget.net/Installation_on_Linux_(mipsel)
[01:01] <Ben64> lickalott: 404, and you should not be doing anything other than "sudo apt-get install nzbget"
[01:01] <HappyNewYear13> when i see the info of my wireless it says Speed 18Mb/s. but different computer connected to same network always said 54Mb/s. is it a driver problem?
[01:01] <lickalott> roger
[01:01] <shadaloo> Ben64: now that you mention it
[01:01] <shadaloo> when I apt-get autoremove'd
[01:02] <shadaloo> it said something missing dkms
[01:02] <shadaloo> gnome-dkms
[01:02] <Ben64> shadaloo: thats fine, run that really long command above though :) and tell me your nvidia card
[01:02] <shadaloo> Ben64: 9300-GE
[01:02] <shadaloo> I believe
[01:02] <HappyNewYear13> when i see the info in the properties of my wireless it says Speed 18Mb/s. but different computer connected to same modem always said 54Mb/s. is it a driver problem?
[01:02] <lickalott> removing and re-installing Ben64.  Thanks!!
[01:03] <Ben64> shadaloo: what is the output of "lspci | grep VGA"
[01:04] <shadaloo> ok Ben64
[01:04] <shadaloo> 32 MBs
[01:04] <Ben64> huh?
[01:05] <shadaloo> Ben64:
[01:05] <shadaloo> yes, a 9300 GE and also a 8200
[01:05] <shadaloo> the 9300 is a card
[01:05] <shadaloo> not sure about the 8200
[01:05] <shadaloo> Ben64: installing now
[01:06] <shadaloo> Ben64: done
[01:06] <shadaloo> Ben64: reboot?
[01:06] <Ben64> no
[01:07] <Ben64> is it a laptop?
[01:08] <shadaloo> Ben64: desktop
[01:08] <shadaloo> HP
[01:09] <Ben64> you might want to check whats up with having two cards, maybe you need to disable the onboard one
[01:09] <shadaloo> :s
[01:09] <Ben64> but this command will install nvidia drivers ---   "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331"
[01:09] <shadaloo> Ben64: ok
[01:09] <shadaloo> Ben64: thanks
[01:10] <newbieubuntu> sup,
[01:10] <shadaloo> Ben64: how do you know that I need 331? if you do not mind me asking
[01:10] <Ben64> well you have ubuntu 14.04, and 331 is the latest in 14.04, and supports both the 8200 and the 9300
[01:10] <shadaloo> ok great
[01:10] <shadaloo> that's what I figured
[01:11] <newbieubuntu> anyone can help me with dovecot/postfix/thunderbird for lan-only email system ? I'm been looking and following guides for 2 weeks all over the net with no solutions.
[01:11] <chrismat_> @shadaloo it's a version number
[01:11] <shadaloo> chrismat_: ah
[01:11] <shadaloo> riiight
[01:11] <chrismat_> I've tried nvidia-latest once... didn't turn out too well, but it was certainly there.
[01:12] <shadaloo> well I was running on 331.67
[01:12] <shadaloo> but obviously ubuntu did not like nvidia's .run
[01:12] <shadaloo> implementation

[01:34] <chech> anybody know a programming app that has an S in front?, been looking all day
[01:36] <reisio> chech: "app"?
[01:36] <chech> yes ubuntu app

[01:38] <def_jam> hey is tehre anyone around that can help with a ban
[01:39] <shadaloo> Ben64: :(
[01:40] <def_jam> thanks
[01:43] <k1l_> def_jam: talk to the operators of the channel you are banned in
[01:43] <def_jam> i did
[01:43] <def_jam> i tried to pspeak to you k1l
[01:44] <def_jam> i sent you a private
[01:44] <def_jam> a query
[01:44] <k1l_> nope
[01:44] <def_jam> when i type /query kil it says no such nick/channel
[01:45] <def_jam> k1l
[01:45] <m0h4wk> Hello?
[01:45] <m0h4wk> I need some help, would anyone be willing to help?
[01:45] <k1l_> if its about the #ubuntu channel you can talk to the ops in #ubuntu-ops , def_jam
[01:45] <k1l_> m0h4wk: if you give more details people can see if they can help
[01:45] <m0h4wk> Well I just installed Ubuntu
[01:45] <def_jam> ah great thanks
[01:45] <m0h4wk> And I have some questions
[01:46] <shadaloo> Ben64: earth to Ben
[01:48] <imastupidguest> Look, I know this isn't exactly on topic but would somoene pm me if they can help? 'm looking for someone with familiarity in things like a SWOT analysis. I'm wondering if there is an existing method (like SWAT) that incorporates a perspective element?
[01:48] <imastupidguest> Someone with familiarity of business diagrams/diagramming
[01:48] <shadaloo> could I possibly chroot into a partition to use apt-get ?
[01:48] <k1l_> !ot | imastupidguest
[01:48] <imastupidguest> k1l_: I said that
[01:49] <seronis> and thus..  'dont go offtopic'
[01:49] <seronis> thats your answer
[01:49] <imastupidguest> Am I now wrong for asking someone to pm me in the only place I can think to find a gathering of people in which someone may hold the knowledge?
[01:49] <imastupidguest> I'm asking a social question to you k1l_
[01:49] <shadaloo> why would you want them to PM you
[01:50] <imastupidguest> I'm aking you a personal, moral question, completely unrelated to forum moderation, rules, or guidelines
[01:50] <k1l_> imastupidguest: stop spoiling the technical support channel, we have a seperate channel for chitchat and other offtopic.
[01:50] <imastupidguest> you don't have to answer
[01:50] <imastupidguest> what would you do?
[01:51] <m0h4wk> So
[01:51] <m0h4wk> I just installed ubuntu
[01:51] <m0h4wk> And I have some questions
[01:51] <m0h4wk> I´m making the transition from Windows
[01:51] <seronis> !ask | m0h4wk
[01:52] <d1egoaz> Hello, How can I modify unity global menu to always show menu options? Currently I have to put the mouse on the menu? tks
[01:52] <m0h4wk> Is there a similar program to Task Manager in ubuntu?
[01:52] <k1l_> m0h4wk: yes, system monitor
[01:53] <m0h4wk> Where can I find it?
[01:53] <shadaloo> m0h4wk: hit the windows key
[01:53] <seronis> m0h4wk,  http://askubuntu.com/questions/25785/can-auto-hide-for-the-application-menu-be-turned-off-in-unity
[01:53] <shadaloo> and type 'system
[01:53] <shadaloo> '
[01:53] <k1l_> m0h4wk: press the windows key (which opens the dash) then type system monitor
[01:54] <m0h4wk> Pressing the Windows key doesn´t do anything
[01:54] <m0h4wk> Would that have anything to do with my keyboard configuration?
[01:54] <k1l_> m0h4wk: what ubuntu are you on?
[01:54] <m0h4wk> The latest desktop build
[01:54] <shadaloo> m0h4wk: click the top icon on the left
[01:54] <shadaloo> the ubuntu symbol
[01:55] <m0h4wk> Clicked it
[01:55] <shadaloo> grats
[01:56] <m0h4wk> I found it
[01:56] <m0h4wk> I have another question
[01:57] <m0h4wk> I installed Ubuntu on a partition, roughly 150 gigabytes
[01:57] <m0h4wk> Would this be sufficient enough for me to play around with?
[01:57] <Ben64> yep
[01:57] <k1l_> easy, m0h4wk
[01:58] <m0h4wk> And another thing, I set Ubuntu on the top of my preferences list when booting up my laptop
[01:58] <m0h4wk> But it gives me the option of choosing between what OS is selected beforehand
[01:58] <m0h4wk> Is there any way to simplify this process and introduce a dual boot system>
[02:00] <k1l_> m0h4wk: can you rephrase or explain more?
[02:01] <m0h4wk> Is there any way to make my laptop ask me what OS I want to boot with?
[02:01] <seronis> grub does this..  whats the issue?
[02:01] <area51pilot> ASUS TP500L system with ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad not working Ubuntu 14.04 ... anyone else with this issue? I can only get it to work by editing the grub and having it ID as a basic mouse device
[02:01] <m0h4wk> What is grub?
[02:02] <seronis> that text menu you see when you reboot your computer
[02:02] <area51pilot> a little worm in the ground  :P
[02:02] <shadaloo> Ben64: ?
[02:02] <m0h4wk> area51pilot: <3
[02:02] <area51pilot> grub2 is your boot menu
[02:02] <Ben64> shadaloo: ?
[02:02] <shadaloo> Ben64: hey
[02:02] <shadaloo> the system is dead
[02:02] <area51pilot> if you side load with Windows it displays your OS options to choose as well as recovery options
[02:02] <seronis> it sits there for 6 seconds before it boots into your default os.. but you can use the arrow keys to select  memtext or your other os instead of going into ubuntu
[02:03] <seronis> memtest*
[02:03] <shadaloo> Ben64: when I try to boot I just a flashing _
[02:03] <m0h4wk> Also, the programs that I installed on my Windows 8.1 partition. Could I access them and launch them on Linux with no changes?
[02:03] <m0h4wk> Or do I have to reinstall them in some way?
[02:03] <shadaloo> m0h4wk: you can use 'wine' to run Windows programs
[02:03] <seronis> are they linux programs?  and if so why are they installed on the windows partition ?
[02:03] <Ben64> shadaloo: remember when i said i needed the error message and you ignored that and rebooted?
[02:03] <m0h4wk> They are Windows programs, I just want to be able to run them in Linux
[02:03] <k1l_> m0h4wk: need to reinstall in most cases. better see if there are linux versions.
[02:04] <shadaloo> Ben64: yes
[02:04] <Ben64> shadaloo: yeah, i needed the error message
[02:04] <shadaloo> Ben64: I was in the command line
[02:04] <Ben64> shadaloo: i know
[02:04] <shadaloo> Ben64: it was like 4 lines long
[02:04] <m0h4wk> The reason I picked Ubuntu as my secondary OS is because I heard it was lighter and must therefore be better for gaming, right?
[02:04] <shadaloo> m0h4wk: depends on the game
[02:04] <m0h4wk> So I´ll have to reinstall all my games for them to work on Ubuntu right?
[02:05] <SchrodingersScat> !paste | shadaloo
[02:05] <shadaloo> Ben64: do you have any suggestions?
[02:05] <m0h4wk> I mainly play League of Legends, CS:GO, Trackmania, and some other Source Engine games.
[02:05] <seronis> m0h4wk,  programs must match the operating system they are designed for, yes
[02:05] <shadaloo> Ben64: I tried to chroot into the partition but I ended up installing the drivers for the LiveUSB (worthless)
[02:05] <k1l_> m0h4wk: yes, reinstall
[02:05] <Ben64> shadaloo: go back in time and give me the error instead of ignoring the request
[02:06] <m0h4wk> Is there any way to increase my current Linux partition size?
[02:06] <Guest52481> use gparted
[02:06] <shadaloo> Ben64: isn't there a way to recover the system from my Live session?
[02:06] <eblip> hi this is a test
[02:08] <m0h4wk> Are there any guides I could read as an introduction to Ubuntu?
[02:08] <k1l_> m0h4wk: yes, you can boot a live-usb and then use gparted to manage the partitions. but be aware to have backups if there is important data
[02:08] <m0h4wk> And how I can optimize it for my hardware?
[02:08] <Bashing-om> !manual m0h4wk
[02:09] <shadaloo> Ben64: ?
[02:09] <m0h4wk> !manual
[02:09] <eb0t> this is a test
[02:09] <shadaloo> Ben64: so you're just going to leave me hanging with a hosed system?
[02:09] <shadaloo> great advice
[02:09] <m0h4wk> How can I use my Razer products with Ubuntu?
[02:09] <m0h4wk> Is there a version of Razer Synapse out there for Ubuntu?
[02:10] <shadaloo> was trying to install nvidia-331 drivers and the process errored
[02:11] <shadaloo> tried to reboot and the system is dead - boots to a flashing _
[02:11] <LinStatSDR> Sounds like a boot order issue
[02:11] <LinStatSDR> Like a flash drive still plugged in
[02:11] <shadaloo> LinStatSDR: can you help me resolve it?
[02:12] <shadaloo> LinStatSDR: well
[02:12] <shadaloo> i'll try removing it
[02:12] <shadaloo> doubt that is it though
[02:12] <LinStatSDR> may have to change the boot order back
[02:12] <LinStatSDR> or change it back to whatever it was w/e
[02:16] <LinStatSDR> I'm guessing shadaloo forgot to unplug the flash drive
[02:16] <LinStatSDR> Since he quit
[02:17] <m0h4wk> Does anyone know the program called F.lux?
[02:18] <k1l_> m0h4wk: try redshift
[02:18] <m0h4wk> Is it similar to f.lux?
[02:18] <k1l_> !info redshift
[02:19] <k1l_> yes, quite the same and ubuntu ships that already
[02:19] <m0h4wk> Thanks so much!!!
[02:19] <eblip> thanks k1l for earlier i found the ops and they sorted it out
[02:21] <m0h4wk> How do I install redshift?
[02:21] <shadaloo> trying to fix my completely broken ubuntu install
[02:21] <shadaloo> when i boot I get a flashing _
[02:22] <shadaloo> when I try to boot into recovery
[02:22] <k1l_> m0h4wk: either use the ubuntu software center or use the terminal: "sudo apt-get install redshift"
[02:22] <shadaloo> I get 'friendly-recover--stopped' at 7.xxx
[02:22] <shadaloo> is there anything I can do
[02:22] <shadaloo> to fix my install?
[02:22] <m0h4wk> Is that how I will install all programs on Ubuntu?
[02:23] <eblip> hey shadaloo i think there is a way of checking if the software your are tryoing to install is corrupt using a hash
[02:23] <eblip> maybe the software was corrupted for your install ..
[02:23] <shadaloo> eblip it was fine
[02:23] <eblip> ah ok
[02:23] <m0h4wk> Also, how do I make the bottom bar go down? It used to go down automatically and now it doesn.
[02:23] <shadaloo> eblip: that's not the issue
[02:23] <shadaloo> thanks though
[02:23] <shadaloo> someone was tyring to help me install nvidia drivers correctly
[02:23] <shadaloo> and it failed
[02:23] <shadaloo> and now they left me hanging
[02:23] <shadaloo> with a broken system
[02:24] <eblip> oh yes i tried it the nvidia a while back and i ev entually got it working but it was a botch job
[02:24] <k1l_> m0h4wk: yes. first you look if ubuntu ships that program already as a package. that is already made working with ubuntu.
[02:24] <m0h4wk> How do I launch redshift?
[02:25] <LinStatSDR> So shadaloo, status update on the flash drive removal?
[02:25] <shadaloo> LinStatSDR: no that wasn't it mate
[02:25] <shadaloo> thx tho
[02:25] <shadaloo> I was using the boot menu to select the drive in question
[02:25] <shadaloo> the system is busted
[02:25] <shadaloo> never seen such a mess
[02:25] <shadaloo> can't even boot to a command line
[02:25] <shadaloo> doesn't even get through the kernel
[02:25] <LinStatSDR> So you can't boot anything?
[02:26] <LinStatSDR> No dvd / cd
[02:26] <LinStatSDR> no flash drive
[02:26] <LinStatSDR> just a _
[02:26] <shadaloo> I am in a flash drive now
[02:26] <eblip> why not try and chroot and undo what you have done
[02:26] <eblip> and redo the nvidia install again
[02:26] <shadaloo> eblip: do you have a guide?
[02:26] <shadaloo> that's the first thing I tried
[02:26] <shadaloo> but when I chroot I was still in the liveUSB
[02:27] <eblip> ah ok...i used to have problems chrooting but it was becuase i hadnt loaded all the filesystem necessary
[02:27] <eblip> mounted rather
[02:27] <m0h4wk> I just realized I have something called Kubuntu installed
[02:27] <shadaloo> eblip: any advice?
[02:27] <eblip> yes google chroot into ubuntu
[02:27] <m0h4wk> What is it and should I stick with it instead of Ubuntu?
[02:27] <eblip> thats how i found all the partitions that i required to mount
[02:27] <eblip> and from tehre bam.. i was in
[02:28] <eblip> once i chrooted
[02:29] <m0h4wk> kiL_: what is Kubuntu?
[02:29] <k1l_> m0h4wk: that is another desktop enviroment. if you like that you can use that
[02:29] <m0h4wk> How do I switch to Ubuntu desktop?
[02:29] <k1l_> m0h4wk: http://imgur.com/a/9iaLJ  that are the big desktops ubuntu offers
[02:29] <seronis> Kubuntu just defaults to installing KDE desktop mnager instead of unity
[02:30] <seronis> i use Xubuntu  (XFCE desktop environment)
[02:30] <m0h4wk> So it´s just a theme basically?
[02:30] <seronis> more than that
[02:30] <m0h4wk> Is Unity reccomended for beginners?
[02:31] <seronis> im VERY biased.. so to me unity is never recommended.
[02:31] <m0h4wk> How do I switch to Unity?
[02:31] <k1l_> m0h4wk: unity is the standard ubuntu desktop. you can install the ones you see on the pictures with installing the package "ubuntu-desktop" or "kubuntu-desktop". then choose the desktop in the menu on the login screen
[02:32] <Ben64> m0h4wk: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop; then choose unity when you're logging in
[02:32] <m0h4wk> To save space how can I uninstall Kubuntu?
[02:33] <k1l_> sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[02:33] <Ben64> k1l_: that won't accomplish much, since that is a meta package
[02:34] <k1l_> yeah, so its kde package?
[02:34] <Ben64> this page used to work, but it is way outdated now http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu
[02:34] <m0h4wk> How can I make the bottom bar disappear when Iḿ not mousing over it?
[02:35] <shadaloo> trying to chroot into the partition of my broken ubuntu system
[02:35] <shadaloo> but i just stay in the liveUSB ubuntu@ubuntu
[02:35] <bananapie> Hi, I am trying to run Chromium-browser without a window manager so I ran 'startx chromium-browser' from the console, and chromium starts. But for some reason, I also get a window telling me to upgrade packages and that language support is incomplete. How to I prevent startx from calling anything other than what I specified?
[02:35] <shadaloo> is it that broken
[02:35] <shadaloo> that I cannot even chroot into it?
[02:35] <k1l_> m0h4wk: if you change to unity dont mind the bar now.
[02:35] <seronis> http://superuser.com/questions/30112/kubuntu-to-ubuntu     reading there says that running  'autoremove' after removing the meta package will still clean it up
[02:35] <area51pilot> ASUS TP500L system with ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad not working Ubuntu 14.04.  The only way to get it to work was by editing thet full touchpad functionality?e grub to have it load as a basic mouse. Any ideas how to g
[02:35] <seronis> @ m0h4wk  Ben64
[02:36] <m0h4wk> Should I remove Kubuntu while in Kubuntu or....?
[02:37] <Ben64> shadaloo: try booting to text mode, by appending 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode
[02:37] <shadaloo> Ben64: alright
[02:37] <seronis> m0h4wk,  i would  _guess_ no.  wait till you boot into unity
[02:38] <jmeps3> #carding
[02:38] <seronis> also that link i posted has a huge  apt-get remove command line that lists all the packages used in kubuntu that are not used in ubuntu default
[02:38] <seronis> you can use it to ensure the extras are gone but id also read the package names first to see if there is something you want
[02:38] <m0h4wk> Should I bother creating an ethernet connection or just let it connect automatically?
[02:38] <m0h4wk> Would it improve speeds if I actually created a connection with the necessary details?
[02:39] <seronis> i dont think i've set up an ethernet connection manually for years.  doubt doing anything by hand would be better than the auto detection
[02:39] <HappyNewYear13> m0h4wk, let it connect automatically and put ipv6 on ignore
[02:39] <seronis> HappyNewYear13,  why put ipv6 on ignore ?
[02:39] <eblip> if you get your ethernet connection manually or by dhcp ...the speed is exactly the same
[02:40] <m0h4wk> How can I put the ipv6 on ignore?
[02:40] <HappyNewYear13> seronis, i don't use it and it improves performance
[02:40] <HappyNewYear13> m0h4wk, you go to the ethernet icon and chek its properties
[02:40] <seronis> basically DONT put it on ignore
[02:40] <m0h4wk> It says device not managed
[02:41] <HappyNewYear13> seronis, why not
[02:41] <seronis> you need a reason to disable part of theinternet.  not a reason to leave it accessible
[02:42] <pentagon_> Ashame this system didn't come with vlock.
[02:42] <HappyNewYear13> who uses ipv6? omg
[02:43] <eblip> if you put ipv6 on ignore..it only stops your system attempting to get an ipv6 address and info
[02:43] <eblip> its not really massive overhead.
[02:43] <m0h4wk> I just realized how light Kubuntu is, only 12gbś
[02:43] <m0h4wk> And right now I´m only using around 15% of my 8gb RAM
[02:43] <eblip> in fact it may be a good idea...as hackers could install an ipv6 dhcp server and get your machine issued with an ipv6 address if it is left on..i assume
[02:44] <m0h4wk> I feel as though this will be better for gaming, right?
[02:44] <m0h4wk> So, the command that I put into terminal to install Ubuntu desktop finished. Do I just restart now or how else can I get into it?
[02:44] <seronis> m0h4wk,  thats basically a non-issue.    "better for gaming" will still be whether you like games available on linux or not
[02:45] <Ben64> m0h4wk: log out, click the cog icon near your name when putting in your password and choose Unity
[02:45] <seronis> m0h4wk,  over half my steam library is available on linux and a decent portion of the rest i can run with Wine (though a few .Net programs require a lot of setup troubleshooting)
[02:45] <rww> HappyNewYear13: I do.
[02:46] <user__> hello
[02:46] <HappyNewYear13> rww, you have like a local network?
[02:46] <m0h4wk> Wow
[02:46] <m0h4wk> This is a lot cooler
[02:47] <rww> HappyNewYear13: No, my ISP (Comcast) offers globally-routable IPv6.
[02:47] <m0h4wk> It´s more native to Windows 8 with the sidebar feature.
[02:47] <Bashing-om> m0h4wk: :) Welcome to tomorrow .
[02:47] <m0h4wk> Can I set up multiple desktops on Ubuntu?
[02:48] <seronis> hdmi output  (for watching videos on my tv) works fine.  So most likely multi monitor support is good out of the box now too
[02:48] <m0h4wk> No multiple monitor support, I have only 1 monitor. But in Kubuntu you could cycle through several desktops.
[02:48] <m0h4wk> Or workstations as theyŕe called
[02:48] <seronis> oh.. unity doesnt use those by default ?
[02:49] <m0h4wk> Doesn´t look like it
[02:49] <m0h4wk> So how can I set it up so that it´s displayed in the top bar?
[02:49] <seronis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/260510/how-do-i-turn-on-workspaces-why-do-i-only-have-one-workspace
[02:49] <seronis> there is your multi workspaces
[02:50] <m0h4wk> I love you guys <3
[02:51] <m0h4wk> Ubuntu is amazing
[02:51] <HappyNewYear13> rww a bit old from 2012 "Turn off IPv6, say security experts" http://www.smh.com.au/it-pro/security-it/turn-off-ipv6-say-security-experts-20120608-2002h.html
[02:51] <rww> that's hilarious
[02:51] <HappyNewYear13> seronis http://www.smh.com.au/it-pro/security-it/turn-off-ipv6-say-security-experts-20120608-2002h.html
[02:52] <rypervenche> Wow...
[02:52] <seronis> anyone saying to turn off ipv6 is not an expert
[02:52] <HappyNewYear13> ipv6 is like ebola
[02:52] <shadaloo> Ben64: I put 'text' at the end of the linux line
[02:52] <seronis> using ipv4 is like using  electrical outlets without a ground connection
[02:52] <shadaloo> was that right?
[02:53] <rww> and with that set of amusing allegories,
[02:53] <rww> !ot
[02:54] <shadaloo> Ben64: the reason I don't just want to reinstall
[02:54] <shadaloo> is because I have ~100GB of data
[02:54] <shadaloo> I don't want to backup
[02:54] <shadaloo> but
[02:54] <shadaloo> obviously
[02:55] <shadaloo> it's too much work to recover
[02:55] <shadaloo> so
[02:55] <shadaloo> :ubuntufail:
[03:02] <m0h4wk> How do I install Wine?
[03:02] <lickalott> Ben64, you still around?
[03:03] <lickalott> m0h4wk, have you googled yet?
[03:03] <lickalott> https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
[03:03] <lickalott> ^^
[03:03] <Flannel> m0h4wk: sudo apt-get install wine
[03:04] <Juca> I got pinged!
[03:05] <MasterCeadeus27> Halp
[03:06] <MasterCeadeus27> So errrr i have an interesting problem
[03:06] <teward> MasterCeadeus27: how about you state what your problem is and then perhaps you can get some help
[03:06] <teward> because we aren't psychic :P
[03:06] <MasterCeadeus27> fair enough
[03:06] <Juca> I got pinged!
[03:06] <MasterCeadeus27> ]:(
[03:06] <m0h4wk> What Anti-virus do you guys propose I install on Ubuntu?
[03:06] <Ben64> lickalott: occasionally
[03:07] <MasterCeadeus27> Anyway, sooo. I used Ubuntu on my laptop via a flash drive. I was pleased. So I installed it, allotting 70 gb of space to it, with the goal of allowing dual-boot on my Windows 8 system
[03:07] <somsip> !av | m0h4wk
[03:07] <superlunary> ##linux
[03:07] <MasterCeadeus27> However, upon startup, I do not find anything that even alludes to the ability to boot it
[03:08] <MasterCeadeus27> so I'm left with the unique problem of obviously having two OSes installed and one not even showing up
[03:08] <lickalott> Ben64,  after re-install---> /usr/local/bin/nzbget
[03:08] <MasterCeadeus27> ;_;
[03:08] <Juca> I got pinged!
[03:08] <Ben64> shadaloo: should be "text" without quotes, should say something like "quiet nosplash text"
[03:09] <Ben64> Juca: could you not do that
[03:10] <karrot> hello, I got this command line to edit a .txt document the way I want to (sed 's/[[^]]*"//' Desktop/Untitled.txt), but I'd like to put the results of that edit into a new .txt file, how can I do so?
[03:10] <MasterCeadeus27> So... what could cause such a difficulty?
[03:10] <Ben64> lickalott: usually happens when you manually install stuff, i'm still betting thats the issue
[03:10] <karrot> I'm in the process of googling, but it's tough...
[03:10] <karrot> I guess I just need to put the output of a command into a .txt file... which should be relatively easy
[03:10] <Ben64> karrot: cat blah.txt | sed s/foo/bar/g >> newblah.txt
[03:11] <karrot> Ben64: thanks
[03:11] <lickalott> Ben64, does that path look better?
[03:11] <Ben64> lickalott: no
[03:11] <m0h4wk> How can I check if my video card has been detected by Ubuntu?
[03:11] <lickalott> i did a apt-get autoremove nzbget.  then apt-get install nzbget.
[03:12] <Ben64> lickalott: like i've said many times, you probably have a manually installed version that is causing you problems, apt-get doesn't even know about it
[03:12] <somsip> m0h4wk: sudo lshw -c Video
[03:13] <lickalott> so the newly installed is still getting trumped by the manually installed one?   What are you thoughts on getting rid of the other version?
[03:13] <Ben64> lickalott: depends how you installed it
[03:13] <m0h4wk> Do I need to install NVidia software as well? Because I remember using a program to optimize my gameplay
[03:14] <karrot> Ben64: that didn't quite work, can I give you a litte more specific information, and maybe you can help?
[03:14] <Ben64> karrot: ok
[03:14] <somsip> m0h4wk: if you install nvidia drivers, you will also install nvidia-settings which may be what you mean
[03:15] <karrot> Ben64: I have a .txt file called Untitled.txt, I'm trying to erase everything between [ ] in the file and the command "sed 's/[[^]]*"//'" does so, and outputs correctly, I would like to use that command on the .txt file and have it write a new .txt file with the sed command's output
[03:15] <karrot> Ben64: the output from the sed command by itself works, but it won't write that into a .txt file
[03:16] <Ben64> karrot: then end the command with >output.txt
[03:16] <m0h4wk> The program was called the NVidia Geforce Experience
[03:16] <MasterCeadeus27> pls halp
[03:16] <karrot> Ben64: I just tried that, and I tried it with >> output.txt for good meause, neither worked...
[03:17] <karrot> Ben64: I'm about to just copy and paste out of the terminal... but it's a 10,000 line .txt file :(
[03:17] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: Geforce Experience is only for windows
[03:17] <karrot> Ben64: wait
[03:17] <MasterCeadeus27> ;_______;
[03:17] <karrot> Ben64: sorry, the sed command did not work as I thought... I'm sorry
[03:18] <m0h4wk> Does anyone know how I can install League of Legends on Ubuntu?
[03:18] <Tobias[L]> MasterCeadeus27: windows 8 and ubuntu are ... different
[03:18] <MasterCeadeus27> ....well yes
[03:18] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: use playonlinux, it has an install script
[03:18] <MasterCeadeus27> I should hope so
[03:18] <Tobias[L]> MasterCeadeus27: Uefi disabled?
[03:18] <MasterCeadeus27> But it ran fine from the USB drive... Hmm
[03:18] <Tobias[L]> MasterCeadeus27: GPT disabled?
[03:18] <MasterCeadeus27> Well
[03:18] <MasterCeadeus27> Not ATM
[03:18] <MasterCeadeus27> It was during installation
[03:19] <Tobias[L]> MasterCeadeus27: Installed windows 7 instead?
[03:19] <MasterCeadeus27> No
[03:19] <MasterCeadeus27> I've no way to install windows 7
[03:19] <m0h4wk> I love how almost everything that you need to be done can be done through terminal
[03:19] <Tobias[L]> MasterCeadeus27: thats how i "fixed" it, the only thing working with UEFI alongside win8 was fedora
[03:19] <MasterCeadeus27> I mean... I suppose I could get a copy from my CST teacher
[03:19] <MasterCeadeus27> Hmmm
[03:19] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: apt-get? its fantastic
[03:19] <MasterCeadeus27> OK
[03:19] <MasterCeadeus27> So maybe I try turning UEFI off again
[03:20] <Tobias[L]> MasterCeadeus27: try fedora, after that switch to legacy boot
[03:20] <Tobias[L]> MasterCeadeus27: and if that doesnt bring the needed success wipe it all and smash win7 on it
[03:20] <MasterCeadeus27> wipe---wipe it--all???
[03:20] <m0h4wk> Tobias[L]: yeah it's awesome!!!
[03:21] <MasterCeadeus27> I have many important documents that simply cannot risk being "wiped"
[03:21] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: Chocolatey provides a similar function for windows
[03:21] <Tobias[L]> MasterCeadeus27: backup into the cloud and locally
[03:21] <m0h4wk> How can I optimize my Ubuntu to run efficiently?
[03:22] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: it already does but for some extra speed after booting try preload
[03:22] <m0h4wk> What is preload?
[03:22] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: it analyzes what you start often and loads those prgrams into ram(everything over 2 mb from these programs)
[03:23] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: use only if you have more than 4G
[03:23] <m0h4wk> I have 8gb's
[03:23] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: perfect, ssd?
[03:23] <Bashing-om> MasterCeadeus27: Win8 (UEFI) presens it's pwn set of problems, both to install and to boot . Await advisement here from those who have the experience to advise ( Not me, as I have no UEFI experience) .
[03:23] <m0h4wk> Regular HDD
[03:23] <m0h4wk> 1TB
[03:24] <Bashing-om> presents own set of
[03:24] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: try preload, everything else is as smooth as it gets unless you want to try your butt at gentoo
[03:24] <m0h4wk> How do I try preload through terminal?
[03:25] <Tobias[L]> apt-get install preload
[03:26] <m0h4wk> It says it couldn't open lock file....
[03:26] <m0h4wk> Unable to lovk the administration directory
[03:26] <m0h4wk> lock*
[03:26] <Tobias[L]> apt-get obviously needs superuser aka "sudo"
[03:26] <Tobias[L]> as in sudo apt-get install preload
[03:26] <m0h4wk> Ooooh
[03:26] <m0h4wk> Ok
[03:26] <m0h4wk> I'm new to this as you can tell
[03:27] <m0h4wk> I launched it, now what?
[03:28] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: it is a daemon that analyzes what you usually start as programs. it will use that knowledge to load program files (i.e firefox binary) into ram after you boot so when you load firefox most data already is loaded
[03:28] <m0h4wk> How do I set up a default graphics card for all programs to use?
[03:29] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: nvidia optimus?
[03:29] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: check the switch layer you installed (primus or bumblebee i think )for its settings or use the search machine you fancy
[03:30] <cfhowlett> #join #android
[03:30] <m0h4wk> I haven't installed either, do you reccomend either?
[03:31] <m0h4wk> And by that I mean which one do you reccommend?
[03:31] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: primus (check if its written right) is the newer implementation and works better afaik
[03:31] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: i have sli 650m laptop so lenovo decided to kill the switiching ability
[03:31] <m0h4wk> What is the command line I type into terminal?
[03:32] <m0h4wk> In order to install primus
[03:32] <Tobias[L]> sudo apt-get install primus (check before)
[03:33] <m0h4wk> So once it is installed, do I open it and set configurations or....?
[03:33] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee
[03:33] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: use this, it will explain most things
[03:35] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: that guide is for debian so leave out anything including debian-specific things
[03:35] <somsip> !bumblebee | m0h4wk (this is for Ubuntu)
[03:36] <somsip> m0h4wk: or maybe it's not for ubuntu. I thought there was a wiki page linked ont here, but it's not
[03:36] <m0h4wk> How can I check the temperature settings of my components?
[03:36] <cfhowlett> !sensors | m0h4wk
[03:36] <lickalott> Ben64, got it.  finally found the tut I used to install.  It was from a git source.  removed and am installing via apt-get now.
[03:37] <lickalott> Ben64,  - Silentkiller:/usr/local/etc# which nzbget
[03:37] <lickalott> /usr/bin/nzbget
[03:37] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: altough we help with technical problems this isnt a personal installation assistant, ubuntu will likely require skills in googling, try to use them
[03:40] <m0h4wk> Tobias[L]: I apologize for being so tedious, I'm new to this so I'm just getting my feet wet. I do really appreciate all that you've done though! :)
[03:41] <stacyscene> Yo yo
[03:42] <jakesyl> how do i load a .fw file?
[03:42] <jakesyl> like how do i burn it to a disk
[03:43] <Tobias[L]> m0h4wk: atleast you didnt break your setup yet, nvidia and especially optimus tend to break visuals and allow only text mode (unrecoverable without knowledge)
[03:43] <cfhowlett> jakesyl, .fw is not a linux file = more information needed.
[03:43] <Tobias[L]> jakesyl: use dd if you want to only want the stream of data directly onto the dvd
[03:43] <jakesyl> okay, it says I'm missing this firmware file, and i need to insert it while im install ubuntu
[03:44] <Tobias[L]> as in dd if=/path/to/input/file of=/dev/dvddevicehere
[03:44] <jakesyl> here's my other question for loading firmware data do i dd it or just drag and drop i don't know if i'm supposed to 'burn'
[03:44] <jakesyl> So i should dd it on
[03:45] <Tobias[L]> jakesyl: likely something else went wrong
[03:46] <Tobias[L]> jakesyl: what exactly needs "firmware" ? i only remeber firmware needed for windows, linux can atleast run in textmode on nearly anything
[03:46] <jakesyl> non-free
[03:47] <Tobias[L]> jakesyl: graphics? raid controller?
[03:48] <jakesyl> networking
[03:48] <jakesyl> bx2 network controller
[03:48] <Tobias[L]> jakesyl: skip it and install it later from the additional drivers
[03:49] <ubuntu> hi
[03:49] <ubuntu> trying to download a vlc .deb
[03:49] <ubuntu> so i can install it on a computer that does not have networking
[03:49] <Guest64241> how can I do this?
[03:50] <Tobias[L]> dpkg -i /path/to/.deb
[03:50] <cfhowlett> Guest61439, sudo dpkg -i foo.deb
[03:50] <Tobias[L]> obviously needs sudo "admin" rifghts
[03:50] <Guest61439> ?
[03:51] <shadaloo> Tobias[L]: cfhowlett thanks going to install vlc and try that
[03:52] <cfhowlett> shadaloo, happy2help
[03:52] <shadaloo> !vlc
[03:52] <shadaloo> what is the easiest way to install vlc?
[03:52] <shadaloo> software center?
[03:52] <Tobias[L]> that or synaptic
[03:53] <shadaloo> k
[03:53] <shadaloo> and where will it install the .deb to?
[03:53] <shadaloo> or rather
[03:53] <shadaloo> where can I download the .deb ?
[03:54] <Tobias[L]> shadaloo: download it from the offical vlc website
[03:54] <Ben64> shadaloo: you should just hook up networking and apt-get it
[03:54] <shadaloo> Ben64: thx for your fantastic advice once again
[03:54] <Ben64> Tobias[L]'s suggestion is not recommended nor supported
[03:54] <Tobias[L]> shadaloo: else try on an hooked up pc apt-get download vlc
[03:55] <Ben64> shadaloo: you should have given me the error like i asked for instead of rebooting!
[03:55] <Tobias[L]> Ben64: i know never download stuff from somewhere else than the trusted reps (unlike our beloved *cough* windows but some dont know otherwise (i had to learn that the hard way with my friend calling em why filezilla.zip didnt install
[03:56] <shadaloo> ok
[03:56] <shadaloo> so I've installed VLC
[03:56] <shadaloo> via software center
[03:56] <shadaloo> where is the .deb stored?
[03:56] <shadaloo> so I can back it up
[03:56] <Tobias[L]> shadaloo: apt-get download vlc
[03:57] <shadaloo> Tobias[L]: I already have vlc installed
[03:57] <shadaloo> I just need to save it
[03:57] <Tobias[L]> shadaloo: it likely will be in apt-cache but make your life easier and change to where you want it and enter the download command
[03:57] <Tobias[L]> cd /home/user(you)/Folderwhereyouwant
[03:57] <shadaloo> Tobias[L]: where is apt-cache?
[03:58] <Ben64> shadaloo: you seem to have a problem following instructions. apt-get download will download the deb
[03:58] <shadaloo> Ben64: vlc is already the newest version.
[03:58] <shadaloo> i don't have a problem
[03:58] <Tobias[L]> shadaloo: its under /var/cache/apt/archives liekly
[03:58] <shadaloo> Tobias[L]: cheers
[03:59] <Ben64> "apt-get download vlc"
[03:59] <Ben64> will download the deb, into the current directory
[03:59] <Tobias[L]> shadaloo: but switching to the directory and apt-get download is safer
[03:59] <Ben64> seriously, this is not that difficult
[03:59] <Tobias[L]> Ben64: forgive the windows switchers
[04:00] <Tobias[L]> Ben64: i have stories to tell from this XD
[04:00] <kazdax> hello
[04:00] <kazdax> dear ones
[04:00] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: just ask
[04:00] <kazdax> i have installed apache webserver and when i do a 127 localhost
[04:01] <kazdax> it shows me a page
[04:01] <kazdax> but now i want to make it available to everyone
[04:01] <kazdax> and i am using a router
[04:01] <kazdax> so i have no idea how to set it up so people from the outside can access it
[04:01] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: stupid idea making a webserver avialiable publically without knowing what you do but it already should be accessible
[04:01] <Ben64> !port | kazdax
[04:02] <Tobias[L]> Ben64: thx
[04:02] <kandinski> Can anybody look at this? # apt-get update

[04:02] <unopaste> kandinski you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[04:02] <kazdax> so i set the port and then it should be avalable online ?
[04:02] <cfhowlett> kazdax, i wouldn't say stupid, but definitely unwise
[04:02] <Ben64> kazdax: read the link ubottu gave you
[04:02] <kazdax> well i wont be giving it out
[04:02] <kazdax> i just want to test it and if it does work out
[04:03] <Ben64> kazdax: and you should reconsider, even if you don't give it out, there are bots trolling the internet constantly for vulnerabilities
[04:03] <kazdax> id like to study more about firewalls and security procedures i can take
[04:03] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: what do you want to do? also making a dmz for your pc on your router with an webserver cries for your pc to be comrpomitted
[04:03] <kazdax> the ubuntu is runnong on vm..so all my other so called sensitive data is on my host machine
[04:03] <kandinski> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9052092/
[04:03] <kazdax> well there isnt really anything senstive about the data i have
[04:03] <kazdax> oh
[04:04] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: vms (likely Virtualbox) are an extra case, you routing trough windows?
[04:04] <kazdax> show how would you setup a webserve if you had to ?
[04:04] <kandinski> my apologies for the superpaste: I got the wrong buffer, and pasted the content instead of the pastebin url. I have this apt-get problem where update says it can't download an index file, but wget can. Any idea? http://paste.ubuntu.com/9052092/
[04:04] <kazdax> yes i am routing threw windows
[04:04] <kazdax> i am using vmware
[04:04] <Ben64> kandinski: try a different mirror
[04:05] <kazdax> where do i remember hearing that name
[04:05] <kandinski> Ben64: but why would apt-get fail with this mirror, while wget doesn't?
[04:05] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: you have to setup port forwarding from your router into windows into the vm which has to go all the way back out ... dream again, this is incredibly heavy. get yourself a raspberry pi
[04:05] <Ben64> kandinski: who knows man
[04:06] <kazdax> so wait ..my windows is also using port 80
[04:06] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: smooth recognition
[04:07] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: get yourself a small platine computer like the raspberry pi, if you want a corrupted device this way atleast make it an as msall threat as possible
[04:07] <kazdax> i could use a machine ..I dont have real use of ..its apentuim 4
[04:07] <kandinski> Ben64: yes, thanks XD
[04:07] <Tobias[L]> kazdax:  perfect, but still your router needs DMZ support and you likely need an Dynamic dns service
[04:07] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: you planning on setting up a forum?
[04:07] <kazdax> something like that
[04:08] <kazdax> a forum is a good idea
[04:08] <kazdax> i was thinking of setting up a bbs for fun
[04:08] <kazdax> I have an upload speed of 10 mbits and 50 download
[04:08] <kazdax> so i though it should not be much of a problem if i hosted site and allowed people to download its contents
[04:09] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: you need a web adress, a dynamic dns, your router is directly in the way and the security risks... why not take an online offer for a few bucks, that will be safer and more expertedly  managed
[04:09] <albert_> anyone know how to get quake 2 installed on ubuntu >?
[04:09] <somsip> kazdax: with respect, it's a bad idea. You don't have the knowledge you need right now, so you don't understand the implications of what you are doing. Find a hosted forum if you want one. Don't try to host it with the setup you've described
[04:09] <ramborocks> albert
[04:09] <Ben64> albert_: aren't you on zorin
[04:09] <ramborocks> albert for quake 2 you should try play on linux
[04:10] <Tobias[L]> somsip: yep was saying XD
[04:10] <albert_> no i just installed ubuntu
[04:10] <ramborocks> albert i used it today for warcraft 3
[04:10] <ramborocks> albert inside the software center look for 'play on linux'
[04:10] <Ben64> !appdb | albert_
[04:10] <somsip> Tobias[L]: I totally agree and was just thinking two voices saying the same might be enough to persuade him
[04:11] <kazdax> so the problem is not getting an isolated computer
[04:11] <kazdax> but its that it directly connects to my modem or router
[04:11] <kazdax> so its easy to just hack into the router and from there access the other computers
[04:12] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: the problem is you open your infrastructure to the world with not only bad configuration and your router in the way but also an fully-fledged web server with a million open security errors which others can use to compromit not only the server but your whole home netowrk
[04:12] <kazdax> thats bad and was studying malware analysis
[04:13] <somsip> kazdax: the problem being the routing you need to do, the other steps you need to take, and the setup of the forum etc seem to be beyond your current level of knowledge it a way that will be difficult to bridge by giving you step by step instructions
[04:13] <kazdax> people could easily pin a bad hack on me
[04:13] <kazdax> right ill do online hosting
[04:13] <kazdax> till i dont get good at it and know about the security risk
[04:14] <cfhowlett> kazdax, wouldn't you be happier/safer doing something like hosting an ubuntu mirror or .torrenting images?
[04:14] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: i have a root server running myself and despite my 400 letter password i get logins from china all day XD
[04:14] <kazdax> haha sweet
[04:14] <kazdax> good way to catch malware to analyise
[04:15] <kazdax> but still a bad idea since my other comptuers would be exposed
[04:15] <shadaloo> alright
[04:15] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: if you want to get good at running a web server get yourself that pc you dont need, setup ubuntu-server and attack with everything kali linux offers
[04:15] <shadaloo> i have vlc.deb
[04:15] <shadaloo> however
[04:15] <kazdax> cfhowlett, good idea man
[04:15] <shadaloo> i just installed nvidia-331
[04:15] <kazdax> never thought about that
[04:15] <shadaloo> and I plugged in my HDMI display
[04:15] <shadaloo> and it is not detected
[04:15] <kazdax> but still wont be a security risk for me to host mirrors or torrents ?
[04:15] <shadaloo> and when I try to boot with the display in HDMI, it start to boot
[04:15] <kazdax> ahh
[04:15] <shadaloo> and then the signal goes dead
[04:15] <Tobias[L]> cfhowlett: i would gladly host ubuntu images (1 gbit up and download speed) buuut restricted network, only Ip6 is open for acces from outwards still
[04:16] <Ben64> shadaloo: what are you doing now? how did you install nvidia? same computer? whats going on? you come here, ask a question and then bail for 15 minutes
[04:16] <kazdax> okay then i think ill get this old laptop i have
[04:16] <shadaloo> Ben64: I installed nvidia on my liveUSB
[04:16] <cfhowlett> kazdax, less of a risk than what you've proposed and a good learning experience
[04:16] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: do you only want to collect malware?
[04:16] <Ben64> shadaloo: pretty sure that will never work
[04:16] <shadaloo> Ben64: I'm just trying to get it so I can use my display
[04:16] <kazdax> yes Tobias
[04:16] <x_root> hello, i having a problem with the power-menu from ubuntu these days
[04:16] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: why?
[04:16] <kazdax> once i am done with studying older malware and from books
[04:17] <kazdax> i want to be able to catch them analyse the latest treat
[04:17] <x_root> if i try to poweroff from there doesn't open the menu to poweroff
[04:17] <kazdax> so i am keep up with my work :D
[04:17] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: unless you work at <av here> labs thats a really really stupid ideal
[04:17] <Tobias[L]> idea*
[04:17] <x_root> also, if i try to end session it doesn't open the gnome-session-quit
[04:17] <kazdax> well i will want to paste papers about new viruses
[04:17] <kazdax> why not ?
[04:17] <x_root> what should i do?
[04:17] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: and there is a muuuuuch easier way to do so
[04:17] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: get a spam mail address
[04:17] <kazdax> if i am good at doing it ..I should get a job at an av company
[04:17] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: and post it on any online huestbook you can find
[04:18] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: and then see the "you need to open this .pdf right now" flowing in
[04:18] <cfhowlett> kazdax, see "ethical hacking" subjects and guiades
[04:18] <cfhowlett> *guides*
[04:18] <kazdax> thats actually a really good idea
[04:18] <kazdax> but i dint know they still did that
[04:19] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: its more popular than ever before
[04:19] <kazdax> ill try that
[04:20] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: and if you going to analyze malware be sure: do it only on said pc and disconnect it from the internet and be sure: there is malware much more sophisticated thn usual malware, always wipe your system after analyzing it
[04:20] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: and even that sometimes doesnt help
[04:20] <kazdax> yea i was thinking perhaps install a linux and vm it with windows
[04:21] <kazdax> the windows one could act like a honeypot
[04:21] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: no you install the new container linux and only boot applications in thsoe strictly restrained environments
[04:21] <Tobias[L]> kazdax: its especially made for this
[04:22] <kazdax> what a new container linux ?
[04:22] <Ben64> none of this is on topic here, could you take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue
[04:22] <cfhowlett> kazdax, OT channel or ##linux
[04:22] <cfhowlett> kazdax, or even ##windows
[04:23] <HelenaKitty> I currently have my system doing automatic backups per night. It backs up the entire home dir. I wanted to know that when Unity 8 comes out will the backups break the system or will the configuration files within the backups for Unity 7 be compatible with Unity 8?
[04:30] <uskerine> hi, in ubuntu 12.04, despite I try to modify /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname, values are set back to default. I am working in a VPS, is that due to ubuntu or due to VPS?
[04:30] <SchrodingersScat> uskerine: and you used sudo or gksudo to start the editor of the file?
[04:30] <cfhowlett> uskerine, almost certainly the VPS but I wonder how they're able to override your settings ...
[04:30] <uskerine> I am working as root
[04:31] <cfhowlett> uskerine, !!!?? shouldn't be doing that ..
[04:33] <uskerine> actually, I didn't read the file right after the reboot. once /etc/hosts is modified and the VPS restarted, changes are there but VPS adds again its values.
[04:33] <uskerine> so host has two FQDNs
[04:34] <uskerine> and /etc/hostname is reset to given VPS value
[04:37] <SchrodingersScat> uskerine: you may be able to change the hostname using the control panel, but that's between you and them.
[04:38] <uskerine> I see
[04:38] <uskerine> so this has nothing to do with a specific configuration in ubuntu
[04:39] <cfhowlett> SchrodingersScat, but if she set her  values, how is the VPS provider overriding the configurations?
[04:39] <SchrodingersScat> cfhowlett: I'm just going off that it was reset somehow.
[04:40] <cfhowlett> SchrodingersScat, right, I got that.  I'm just wondering how ... she set it up as root user and the provider over-rode things ... don't seem right
[04:42] <wayafo> hey
[04:43] <HelenaKitty> I currently have my system doing automatic backups per night. It backs up the entire home dir. I wanted to know that when Unity 8 comes out will the backups break the system or will the configuration files within the backups for Unity 7 be compatible with Unity 8?
[04:45] <uskerine> if this is a virtualized environment I don't see why /etc/hosts can't be overriden at bootup
[04:45] <uskerine> anyway I will leave values "as is" and reconfigure postfix to use different values
[04:45] <devians> how can I force aptitude to give me a specific version of a package?
[04:46] <devians> sorry, apt-get
[04:46] <devians> If I run apt-get source nginx=1.6.2-1+precise0 it tells me that package is unavailable, even though its shown in apt-cache policy nginx
[04:46] <maum> hello
[04:46] <devians> i've tried pinning the version but apt-get seems to totally ignore that also.
[04:46] <maum> how to go to bios setup?
[04:48] <Tobias[L]> maum: specify what you want to do. are you trying to upgrade your bios in ubuntu?
[04:51] <maum> Tobias[L], I like to find virtualization option in bios. I installed vmplayer on ubuntu 14.04 and there wasn't virtualization option in bios. so I searched the issue for [Binary translation is incompatible with long mode on this platform] and some post says the host's bios need to be changed the option "virtualization" but I am not sure there is so...
[04:52] <maum> sorry 12.04
[04:52] <Tobias[L]> maum: you need to hammer your bios key (try F2, F8, F11 and F12) at bootip
[04:53] <cfhowlett> maum, do not hammer!  gently press ... at boot up
[04:53] <KEEm> Hej Feksclaus
[04:53] <Tobias[L]> there you need to find intel-v(x)-t or a responding option, be sure to know what you change before you senselessly edit stuff there
[04:53] <KEEm> Hello EriC^^ :)
[04:53] <maum> Tobias[L], I pressed f2 key or f8 or f10 when booting ubuntu but not working
[04:53] <EriC^^> hello KEEm :)
[04:53] <Tobias[L]> maum: not the ubuntu boot sequence, your pc booting up
[04:53] <EriC^^> how you doin?
[04:54] <KEEm> EriC^^: deeper search got better resaults
[04:54] <cfhowlett> maum, get out your manual.  read.  find "system settings" and it will tell you what exact key
[04:54] <Tobias[L]> maum: bios is right after the pc has his on button pressed
[04:54] <EriC^^> KEEm: cool
[04:54] <KEEm> EriC^^: it found 2811 files last time i checked
[04:55] <maum> Tobias[L], my pc is on mac and i installed parallels to use ubuntu 12.04 and installed vmplayer on ubuntu 12.04
[04:55] <Tobias[L]> maum: then dont ask in #ubuntu
[04:56] <devians> hmmm. to reiterate, is there any way to force apt-get source to download an older version?
[04:56] <havoc_hive> hello all =) very new here...
[04:57] <Tobias[L]> maum: this is a mac related issue and covers only macs EFI settings, and since i have the nervous thing that i throw any mac in my hand right out of the window i dont know much about this platform
[04:57] <cfhowlett> !mac | maum
[04:58] <EriC^^> KEEm: i see
[04:58] <EriC^^> devians: you can use apt-get install <package>=<version>
[04:58] <devians> EriC^^ doesn't work
[04:58] <devians> EriC^^ Ignore unavailable version '1.6.2-1+precise0' of package 'nginx'
[04:58] <Tobias[L]> cfhowlett: is there seriously for any pc related topic an entry?
[04:59] <EriC^^> devians: are you on trusty
[04:59] <Tobias[L]> !docker | Tobias[L]
[04:59] <devians> on precise
[04:59] <Tobias[L]> broke it :D
[04:59] <EriC^^> !info nginx precise
[04:59] <Tobias[L]> XD
[05:00] <devians> EriC^^ sorry, on precise. theres a version one above the specified one, 1.6.2-4+precise0 and its a higher priority and hence the older package is locked out
[05:00] <devians> I'm using a ppa to get a non-ancient version
[05:00] <EriC^^> devians: i think it's cause you have a ppa
[05:00] <EriC^^> i see
[05:00] <devians> EriC^^ https://gist.github.com/jhogendorn/d31caf8ec1c05da1a923
[05:01] <nathaneltitane> hey there :)
[05:01] <devians> EriC^^ just updated the gist
[05:02] <nathaneltitane> question: how do i silence a package config using debconf - specifically, i'd like to escape all questions asked for ddclient since i cat a config after install
[05:02] <EriC^^> devians: try sudo apt-get install nginx=1.6.2-4
[05:03] <devians> EriC^^ uh, why? thats not what I'm trying to do.
[05:03] <devians> EriC^^ I'm trying to download the sources for a specific version of nginx.
[05:03] <EriC^^> devians: sorry, sudo apt-get install nginx=1.6.2-1
[05:05] <devians> EriC^^ E: Version '1.6.2-1' for 'nginx' was not found
[05:05] <EriC^^> ok
[05:05] <nathaneltitane> anyone?
[05:06] <devians> EriC^^ any ideas? apt just flat out seems to refuse to cooperate if what you want is not the latest version
[05:07] <Tobias[L]> nathaneltitane: no idea what you want but if you want to stop updates use apt-mark hold *name
[05:07] <EriC^^> devians: seems it will downgrade if it's one of the apt sources, but with ppa's you can only install the latest, there is a fix though but it's kind of ugly
[05:07] <EriC^^> http://askubuntu.com/questions/50821/downgrade-ppa-packages-to-versions-available-at-a-previous-point-in-time
[05:08] <nathaneltitane> Tobias[L]:
[05:08] <EriC^^> devians: i'm curious if you add the ppa as source in /etc/apt/sources.list what would happen
[05:08] <nathaneltitane> Tobias[L]: nope.. not that - during install, I,d like for ddclient not to prompt me (silent install)
[05:08] <EriC^^> not sure that would even work
[05:08] <devians> the ppa is in my sources list, one sec
[05:09] <EriC^^> yeah it's in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[05:09] <EriC^^> maybe it's the same as having it in sources.list
[05:09] <devians> EriC^^ https://gist.github.com/jhogendorn/d31caf8ec1c05da1a923#file-source-list
[05:10] <sjm> in sources.list and in a file in sources.list.d directory is the same
[05:10] <Tobias[L]> nathaneltitane: is it upgradeable with apt? anything you push manually will always ask you .. because it is safer. if you really wanna say "fuck it i dont care if it breaks" there should be the -y option (or -yes / --yes) to always take new configs (and in conclusion -n/-no/--no) for taking the old one
[05:10] <EriC^^> i see
[05:11] <nathaneltitane> yes, it install through the apt repos
[05:11] <nathaneltitane> it installs* apt-get install ddclient
[05:11] <fedora_newb> I am running ubuntu 14.04 through virtualbox and it is running slow
[05:11] <Tobias[L]> apt-get -y install * should ignore any request and use whatever is newer
[05:12] <Tobias[L]> fedora_newb: thats not a problem thats a feature
[05:12] <fedora_newb> Not sure what else I can do, made sure the 3d was enabled, plenty of cpu/ram
[05:12] <fedora_newb> Any ideas on how to fix?
[05:12] <Tobias[L]> fedora_newb: is the virtualisation enabled?
[05:12] <Tobias[L]> fedora_newb: in your bios settings
[05:12] <nathaneltitane> Tobias[L]: that's fine... i'm talking about the ddclient config itself, ddclient itself prompts for setup info while installing... i'd like to silence that
[05:12] <fedora_newb> Ah, need to check, thanks Tobias
[05:13] <Tobias[L]> nathaneltitane: isnt -y doing that too?
[05:13] <nathaneltitane> no
[05:13] <Tobias[L]> nathaneltitane: well i remeber it always prompting me aswell but i rather grit my teeth together and do it since sometimes it can break everythign
[05:13] <devians> EriC^^ stumped also I take it?
[05:14] <Oggie7797> #targa-lp
[05:14] <nathaneltitane> well i have a config that is already preset and that i concatenate into /etc/....
[05:14] <EriC^^> devians: i was thinking you could maybe add a ppa for an older version of ubuntu that had that package as the latest
[05:14] <EriC^^> devians: it's all a mess though
[05:15] <EriC^^> why do you need an older version?
[05:15] <devians> EriC^^ Im frankly stunned that apt is so... opinionated.
[05:15] <devians> whats the point of a source download command if you cant pick a version.
[05:15] <EriC^^> devians: i think it's to do with the ppa's themselves
[05:15] <Tobias[L]> nathaneltitane: write a script that presses "n" and enter the whole time XD
[05:15] <EriC^^> devians: apt allows older versions from repositories, and it's a frontend for dpkg
[05:15] <Tobias[L]> nathaneltitane: but sorry i dont have a fix for that
[05:16] <EriC^^> devians: so i if it was apt not playing ball it could be fixed with dpkg i guess?
[05:16] <devians> EriC^^ the point is that I have an automated system that pulls down a specific version of the nginx package, adds modules and repackages it. and apt source is killing that because I can't reliably lock down the version I start with.
[05:16] <EriC^^> not sure
[05:16] <nathaneltitane> how do i pass the escape to the apt get install ddclient command (since i assume it'S the same process...)
[05:16] <Tobias[L]> EriC^^: its the same as with Ubuntus broken hostapd, only the old .deb can be used for ap-hotspot
[05:16] <Tobias[L]> strg-c works wonders
[05:17] <sjm> devians you can't pin the package?
[05:17] <devians> sjm see https://gist.github.com/jhogendorn/d31caf8ec1c05da1a923
[05:17] <Roey> hello
[05:18] <Emrich> Any one know the procedure for installing the guest additions to ubuntu for vbox. I'm new to linux.
[05:19] <Roey> For some reason this past month my usb3-attached external backup drive is no longe rrecognized by the Linux kernel when I attach it.  I do "modprobe -v xhci_hcd", see no output, check with lsmod and do not see XHCI in its listing.  How should I proceed?
[05:19] <SchrodingersScat> Emrich: once you load the guest additions image via the virtualbox menu, it should appear as a cd in the VM, from there you can open the directory of the cd and there's a script you execute.
[05:20] <devians> sjm, EriC^^ see https://gist.github.com/jhogendorn/d31caf8ec1c05da1a923 so theres a pin, theres trying directly on the command line. the pin is totally ignored, the command line tells you to bugger off if its not the latest version. I'm stumped. Is there a way I can just wget the package?
[05:20] <Tobias[L]> Roey: does lsusb list the drive still?
[05:20] <Roey> no it does not.
[05:20] <sjm> devians, are you sure the ppa includes the source?  or just the binaries?
[05:20] <devians> if I do not specify a version I get the latest source fine.
[05:20] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  it does not
[05:20] <fedora_newb> Ok, so I have checked to make sure I have virtualization enabled in the bios (yes), 3d enabled, plenty of cpu and ram but ubuntu 14.04 reacts very slow in virtualbox vm.
[05:21] <SchrodingersScat> Emrich: I don't remember the name of the file, but I believe it ends in a .sh or it will mention linux probably?  If you list the contents of the directory then someone will probably know.
[05:21] <sjm> devians, is there a reason you don't use the nginx repo?  Just curious.
[05:21] <devians> that _is_ the nginx repo
[05:21] <Tobias[L]> Roey: likely your connector or the external connector board are dead
[05:21] <devians> and if you're referring to the non ppa one, its becase that one is _ancient_
[05:21] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  how do I check?
[05:21] <Tobias[L]> Roey: get an cheap 15 bucks external drive case and screw in the drive
[05:22] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  the USB3 card I added shows up under lspci
[05:22] <Roey> this IS a usb3 card it's connected to
[05:22] <Emrich> Ok, so iv;e tried installing the image for guest additions several times and i have sucessfully done this before with XP but i can't seem to get any responce from my OS when i click to install the additions.
[05:22] <EriC^^> devians: maybe mark the packages that you dont want
[05:22] <EriC^^> devians: look into apt-mark
[05:23] <sjm> devians.  according to http://wiki.nginx.org/Install  that's the community maintained repo, not the official one.
[05:23] <Tobias[L]> Roey: if your host connector shows but whatever its connected to doesnt... get an cheap external drive case and check again
[05:23] <EriC^^> devians: sudo apt-mark hold <package>=<version> maybe
[05:23] <SchrodingersScat> Emrich: if you right click in the directory for the cd, do you see an "Open in terminal"?  if so you can try doing that so you can run the script and be able to read any errors.  Also, I believe you have to run it with sudo, if I recall correctly.
[05:23] <EriC^^> devians: if that doesn't take a version argument, look into apt_preferences ( man apt_preferences )
[05:24] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  ok, let me re-phrase this
[05:24] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  I have an external hard drive in a usb3 enclosure that I am connecting to the port on the usb3 card I once bought.
[05:25] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  this worked fine till about...a month ago, I think?
[05:25] <devians> sjm well I'm telling you the other one is _old_
[05:25] <SchrodingersScat> Emrich: tab complete can help you here, once you're in a terminal in the correct directory, you can type 'sudo' a space, the first few letters of the file, then hit tab to see what your options are.
[05:25] <Roey> then I notice that /backup has not been mounted at least as of the last uptime, which was ten days.
[05:25] <Tobias[L]> Roey: so the USB 3.0 card isnt recognized?
[05:25] <Roey> it IS recognized
 Tobias[L]:  the USB3 card I added shows up under lspci
[05:25] <Emrich> Their is a cd file folder in my system file path but it is not related to the guest additions. It should be known that i am not using a standard ubuntu distribution.
[05:25] <Tobias[L]> Roey: but your hdd enclosure isnt
[05:25] <sjm> devians, it has nginx_1.6.2-1~precise_amd64.deb
[05:25] <Roey> correct.
[05:25] <Roey> and this is a new issue, it worked before.
[05:26] <Tobias[L]> Roey: whats stopping you from jamming it inti an usb 2.0 port?
[05:26] <fedora_newb> Ok, so I have checked to make sure I have virtualization enabled in the bios (yes), 3d enabled, plenty of cpu and ram but ubuntu 14.04 reacts very slow in virtualbox vm.
[05:26] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  hmm.  I suppose.
[05:26] <SchrodingersScat> Emrich: Not sure what to advise then, have you loaded the guest additions image via the virtualbox menu?
[05:26] <Roey> let me try...
[05:26] <sjm> devians, that page says the official nginx one is at:
[05:26] <Tobias[L]> Roey: USB 3.0 is explicitely marked as backwards compatible XD
[05:26] <sjm> deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx
[05:26] <sjm> deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ precise nginx
[05:26] <uskerine> is syslog installed by default in ubuntu 12.04 minimal installation?
[05:26] <Tobias[L]> Roey: if it isnt recognized there you need a new encasement
[05:27] <SchrodingersScat> Emrich: What did you click if you don't see the guest additions cd?
[05:27] <devians> sjm yeah. the releases on there are ancient though.
[05:27] <uskerine> -I see rsyslogd process but I can't find /etc/syslog.conf-
[05:27] <teoma> Is it possible to enable both headphone and speaker output on a laptop?
[05:27] <Tobias[L]> teoma: look into jack audio server if it switching isnt hardwired into your audio card
[05:27] <Emrich> Hold on i might be able to fix it. Sighning off.
[05:28] <SchrodingersScat> also !ubuntu
[05:28] <teaearlgraycold> Can you have a remote PulseAudio connection?
[05:28] <teoma> Tobias[L]: I'm already using jackd, actually.
[05:28] <sjm> devians, it looks like it has the same version you are trying to use:  http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/pool/nginx/n/nginx/
[05:28] <Tobias[L]> teaearlgraycold: yes you can, there is only a small package needed to open it to the network but it will lag and crack the audio
[05:29] <teaearlgraycold> Tobias[L], even on gigabit lan?
[05:29] <Tobias[L]> teoma: then likely the switch is hardwired into your card, making it impossible to do so
[05:29] <devians> sjm maybe so, but if I use that source and pull the source, its for a totally different package, totally different version thats incomprehensible
[05:29] <Tobias[L]> teaearlgraycold: it is pulse that cracks, not the lan (tested for me from Gaming pc to taspberry pi/banana pi)
[05:29] <teaearlgraycold> :(
[05:29] <teoma> Tobias[L]: I see, thanks...
[05:29] <teaearlgraycold> Would be really cool to steam my audio output like that
[05:30] <Tobias[L]> teoma: do you see two audio outputs or a "switch" in the control panel when you plug in headphones?
[05:30] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  it's a software messup I think
[05:30] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  I just testd with another usb3 enclosure, got the same issue.
[05:31] <Tobias[L]> teaearlgraycold: try it out but i guarantee it will mostly mess with the audio thing ... but if you are interested in that look into roard audio
[05:31] <Tobias[L]> teaearlgraycold: jup, just RoarD
[05:31] <teaearlgraycold> K, thanks
[05:31] <Tobias[L]> Roey: try an older kernel version
[05:31] <Roey> don't have that luxury
[05:31] <Roey> not sure I have older ones available
[05:31] <Roey> but I un derstand what you mean
[05:32] <teoma> Tobias[L]: I never use the panel -- would qjackctl be the program to use?
[05:33] <Tobias[L]> teoma: is pulse still installed? i hope you use the alsa/pulse sink instead of having it replaced
[05:34] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  I am going to bed but if you want type and I will read tomorrow
[05:34] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  also two more issues:  (1) my timezone is set corectly yet I have +5 hours on my clocks in KDE and in command line... why??
[05:34] <uskerine> what does '-' mean in rsyslog.conf?    mail.*                          -/var/log/mail.log
[05:35] <Tobias[L]> Roey: set time in kde clock app
[05:35] <teaearlgraycold> What does Linux have in terms of a firewall?
[05:35] <teoma> Tobias[L]: I'm using PulseAudio's module-jack-sink and pamodule-jack-source.
[05:35] <Roey> Tobias[L]:  NYC
[05:35] <Roey> it's 00:35 here now.
[05:35] <teoma> Sorry, that's module-jack-source.
[05:35] <Tobias[L]> teaearlgraycold: it doesnt need ine really since its secure by design but it has "ufw" for easy things and AppArmor for app-to-app things
[05:35] <x_root> how to fix power menu problem on ubuntu 14.04?
[05:35] <Tobias[L]> teoma: open your ubuntu sound menu then
[05:36] <Tobias[L]> teoma: the one where you see all inputs and outputs and the basic things in system settings
[05:36] <x_root> like, from top panel, i try to power off, but the power off button and session button don't work.. how can i fix this?
[05:36] <teaearlgraycold> Tobias[L],  why doesn't it need one? You mean it's not a problem because apps aren't run as root?
[05:37] <Tobias[L]> teaearlgraycold: unlike windows ubuntu comes with zero to no services that actually can recieve and process data unless you explicitely install them. if a system doesnt react to any data stream it gets sent a firewall wont help anyway since there is nothing to block
[05:37] <teoma> Tobias[L]: I'm embarrassed to say this in #ubuntu, but I'm actually using Debian...
[05:38] <teaearlgraycold> Tobias[L], well there's SSH which is packaged with Ubuntu
[05:38] <cfhowlett> teoma, no need for apology, but you really need to ask #debian for assistance with this
[05:38] <Tobias[L]> teaearlgraycold: UFW can block single ports or port and ip ranges how you want, use GUFW if you want to have it graphical. with apparmor you can limit an app's capabilites aswell as with SELinux rulesets
[05:38] <teaearlgraycold> Alright cool
[05:39] <Tobias[L]> teoma: yep likely, i dont knwo how to display soundcard names in debian or linux
[05:39] <Tobias[L]> teoma: but a tip: my display changes form "analog speakers" to "headphones" when plugged in, offered by my soundcard which suggests what to use which results in having both possible to use. cheap cards may just reroute the signal if it is plugged in
[05:40] <pentagon_> Why isn't the machine resolving hostnames?
[05:41] <Tobias[L]> teaearlgraycold: and ssh aswell is most likely secured and not accessible on most installations (dunno if still but on most linuxes i need to install ssh-server for ssh to work) (only desktop OSes)
[05:41] <teoma> Tobias[L]: Thanks very much for the help!
[05:41] <Tobias[L]> teoma: no problem, lets hope you dont have the cheap reroute solution but both streams accessible instead ^^
[05:43] <GoldenAngle> The way of the fool is right in his own eyes,
[05:43] <GoldenAngle> But the wise one accepts advice.
[05:43] <Tobias[L]> GoldenAngle: for the discussion of the sense of life please fo to #42
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[05:44] <GoldenAngle> Morning
[05:46] <Axton> Morning
[05:46] <Tobias[L]> oh gosh im way over time (6 hours XD) see you!
[05:46] <lotuspsychje> im looking for a GUI package that can enable/disable /etc/init system services, now im disabling them the manual way with service.override trick
[05:47] <lotuspsychje> any ideas?
[05:48] <reisio> lotuspsychje: I know such things exist :)
[05:48] <reisio> CentOS comes with one, which is presumably generic for GNOME+whatever init CentOS uses
[05:49] <lotuspsychje> reisio: i tyed many packages like jobs-admin, bum and others but they dont show all system services right the new upstart way
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> reisio: i also read ubuntu 16 will have systemd in the future
[05:51] <reisio> it will, if Debian is still using systemd
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> reisio: well systemd can brake things i hear..if we still use the /etc/init
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> reisio: so im seerahcing for a nice package :p
[05:52] <reisio> you tend to want one init system solution at a time, yes
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> yep, just wanna tweak boot time with unwanted services like CUPS
[05:52] <reisio> why not cease rebooting? :p
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> reisio: meaning?
[05:53] <reisio> why reboot
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> lol this is a netbook not a server
[05:54] <reisio> lotuspsychje: makes no difference
[05:55] <GoldenAngle> A shrewd man conceals what he knows,
[05:55] <GoldenAngle> But the heart of the fool blurts out his foolishness.
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> reisio: checl ls /etc/init i want some of those disabled
[05:56] <reisio> GoldenAngle: well blurted :)
[05:56] <pentagon_> Where does dnsmasq look for nameservers to use?
[05:56] <reisio> lotuspsychje: I doubt most have much effect on boot time
[05:56] <pentagon_> If it looks in /etc/resolv.conf then it is pointing back to itself.
[05:58] <GoldenAngle> The hand of the diligent ones will rule,
[05:58] <GoldenAngle> But idle hands will be put to forced labor.
[05:59] <lotuspsychje> GoldenAngle: this is not the channel for poetry mate
[06:00] <GoldenAngle> It's not poetry
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> GoldenAngle: nor its ubuntu support..
[06:00] <cfhowlett> GoldenAngle, it's not ubuntu support either
[06:00] <Flannel> GoldenAngle: Regardless of what it is, it's offtopic for this channel, please stop it.
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> pentagon_: maybe this can help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq
[06:08] <chaotic_good> hey gents why does dpkg -i not install latest deb of chrome 38? i386 14.04lts
[06:08] <chaotic_good> I got the deb from google
[06:09] <cfhowlett> chaotic_good, chromium is the recommended linux version --- in the repos
[06:10] <Bashing-om> chaotic_good: Are yoy running 'dpkg' in the same directory as the google file is in ?
[06:25] <pentagon_> There is some loopy fiasco going on with the DNS setup.
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> pentagon_: can you tell us what you are trying to do exactly?
[06:33] <pentagon_> lotuspsychje, I am trying to setup iptables rules.

[06:35] <chaotic_good> wtf
[06:35] <chaotic_good> this is 2014
[06:35] <pentagon_> The loopback is unique in how it is handled.
[06:36] <Ben64> chaotic_good: not sure what you're doing, but i think you're in the wrong channel, this is for ubuntu support only
[06:36] <pentagon_> I have to think about it from a kernel perspective.
[06:40] <pentagon_> kernel in the middle attacks

[08:50] <ZGN> Hello! Could someone help me remove Ubuntu?
[08:50] <Ben64> ZGN: and replace it with...?
[08:51] <cfhowlett> ZGN, go to filesystem > select all > delete      no mo buntu
[08:52] <ZGN> I bought a Desktop through local ads and it has Ubuntu dual booted on the same ntfs partition as Windows 7, Ubuntu comes up as an Option in Windows Boot Manager and I would like to uinstall Ubuntu and keep Windows.
[08:52] <Ben64> ZGN: are you sure its not a separate partition?
[08:52] <cfhowlett> ZGN, that would be a wubi installation.  delete the same as you would delete a windows app.
[08:53] <eb0t> zgn you should maybe have a play with it ....
[08:53] <eb0t> i dont think upuntu can isnall on an ntfs file partition
[08:53] <shoeb> i had the same problem,
[08:54] <ZGN> Positive same Partition, and I cannot, it does not Come up in Windows Programs, I tryed using the Uninstaller.exe in C:/Ubuntu, but the Process just closes upon Opening.
[08:54] <shoeb> use revo uninstaller,
[08:55] <ZGN> ?
[08:55] <Ben64> ZGN: i don't really know about wubi, its long since unsupported, but if you don't boot into grub, you can delete that folder
[08:55] <Ben64> if you do boot into grub, you'll need to fix the mbr, which you'd have to get that information from ##windows
[08:55] <cfhowlett> ZGN, you'll need to manually delete the windows bootloader entry = ask ##windows
[08:55] <hillary> i need to completely remove netbeans 7.4 in my ubuntu 14.04. which command can use to carry out
[08:55] <OerHeks> removal in windows softwarecenter should do
[08:56] <Ben64> hillary: sudo apt-get purge netbeans
[08:56] <ZGN> There is no Windows Software Centre lol:p
[08:56] <ZGN> Guys it shouldnt be this hard to remove an OS what do I do
[08:56] <OerHeks> ZNG sure, you said windows 7 ...
[08:56] <hillary> ok thanks
[08:56] <ZGN> Yes, there is no Such thing as Windows Software Centre.
[08:57] <cfhowlett> ZGN, told you already.  select the partition, delete and fix the bootloader
[08:57] <ZGN> Same partition as Windows.
[08:57]  * OerHeks facepalms
[08:57]  * cfhowlett facempalms his keyboard
[08:58] <eb0t> i dont know anything about the windows bootloader...but you could get a live cd/ zgn and using fdisk you could remove the ubuntu partition
[08:58] <cfhowlett> ZGN, ubuntu is inside a windows folder, yes?  delete the folder.
[08:58] <eb0t> but like the others said from there you will have to update the mbr
[08:58] <OerHeks> eb0t, inside windows means ZNG used wubi.
[08:59] <bubbasaures> ZGN, It is in add remove use it with admin
[08:59] <ZGN> Ok, How would I go about removeing/changiing the SU password?
[08:59] <eb0t> ah great ...thanks as i didnt think it was possible prior to now to actually install ubuntu on a ntfs partition
[08:59] <eb0t> so wubi is the way
[09:00] <cfhowlett> eb0t, except that, as has been stated repeatedly, wubi is NOT the way.  unsupported.  will break 14.04 onwards
[09:00] <ZGN>  Ok, How would I go about removeing/changiing the SU password without effecting the mount of Windows 7.
[09:00] <eb0t> no i mean it is how it was done
[09:00] <eb0t> i didnt know it could be done
[09:00] <OerHeks> win7 was the last windows what supported wubi
[09:01] <ZGN> Can anyone answer me?:p
[09:01] <cfhowlett> !password | ZGN
[09:01] <eb0t> have you got the root password zgn
[09:01] <ZGN> I need to Change root password.
[09:01] <eb0t> if so then just open a terminal ..log in to root...and then type passwd root
[09:01] <Ben64> ZGN: there is no root password
[09:01] <eb0t> and then it will ask you for the new password
[09:02] <Ben64> eb0t: please don't suggest that here
[09:02] <ZGN> How do you log into root?
[09:02] <cfhowlett> eb0t, not helping.
[09:02] <Ben64> ZGN: you don't
[09:02] <eb0t> thats how i change my root password
[09:02] <ZGN> I do not know any password.
[09:02] <Ben64> eb0t: thats fine, don't suggest it here

[09:04] <Ben64> RahulAN: you should not mix versions like that
[09:04] <DJones> RahulAN: You're getting the error because because the ppa maintainer hasn't created a Trusty release

[09:05] <RahulAN> cfhowlett, Ok
[09:06] <ash`wrk> hey guys - i'm having driver hell atm
[09:06] <Ben64> cynicallemon: right after that it says "use at your own risk!"
[09:06] <ash`wrk> Does anyone know how to install ATI drivers so i can install the thing?
[09:06] <cynicallemon> Ben64: what risk?
[09:06] <Ben64> cynicallemon: i'm sure its well documented somewhere else, i'm not getting into that here
[09:07] <OerHeks> cynicallemon, no it is not on the ubuntu site
[09:07] <cynicallemon> Ben64: its for simplicity but not scurity
[09:07] <Twinkie> So I have a question regarding hardware compatibility to ubuntu. Anyone knowledgable enough to assist?
[09:07] <OerHeks> cynicallemon, maybe someones site, not from cononical
[09:07] <eb0t> Twinkie:  fire away
[09:08] <cfhowlett> !hcl | Twinkie
[09:08] <cynicallemon> OerHeks: it may have been on the docs or forums
[09:09] <OerHeks> cynicallemon, again, not. and a forum post is not the official view. sure someone responded to that not to do it.
[09:10] <cynicallemon> OerHeks: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:10] <cynicallemon> OerHeks: please check yours facts before telling someone they dont know the facts
[09:11] <Ben64> cynicallemon: can we just stop this discussion already? its not a supported method, and not good advice to be giving in this channel
[09:11] <RahulAN> there is no trusty ppa
[09:11] <RahulAN> for terra
[09:11] <Twinkie> Sorry in advance for spam. Alright. I just need to know if my specs will run on ubuntu or if I'll need to take extra steps to make them work. The specs are as follows : Motherboard : Sabertooth 990fx R2.0
[09:11] <Twinkie> ---CPU : AMD FX 9370 8-core
[09:11] <Twinkie> ---GPU : Sapphire Radeon R9 280x--- Ram : Gskill 16gb(8x2), 1600 MHz
[09:11] <Twinkie> --- Sound Card : Asus Xonar DS......
[09:11] <Ben64> RahulAN: then talk to the maintainer about it, has nothing to do with this channel
[09:11] <RahulAN> is it same to install it from another ppa?
[09:12] <OerHeks> cynicallemon, see, there are warnings all over.
[09:12] <cynicallemon> OerHeks: yes and its on an official ubuntu site...
[09:14] <OerHeks> cynicallemon, don't suggest it here.
[09:15] <cynicallemon> OerHeks: i didnt suggest it i answered somebodies query - its called freedom to speak, even mark would agree
[09:16] <cfhowlett> cynicallemon, can we please move on now??
[09:16] <cynicallemon> sure
[09:16] <cynicallemon> next question...
[09:16] <Ben64> cynicallemon: just don't suggest that in the future
[09:17] <cynicallemon> Ben64: see above response
[09:17] <Ben64> no, do not suggest that here in the future
[09:19] <cynicallemon> Ben64: its useful for everyone to know actually even if they dont use it.
[09:19] <Ben64> cynicallemon: no
[09:20] <OerHeks> cynicallemon, you want to win, isn it?
[09:20] <cynicallemon> OerHeks: im not bothered about winning im bothered about informing
[09:21] <Ben64> suggesting a bad command is not informative at all, don't do it
[09:22] <cfhowlett> cynicallemon, "informing" users about something explicitly and officially by the publisher advised against could be considered trolling ... trolling ...
[09:24] <cynicallemon> not trolling but i will shutup now
[09:24] <theBOFH> trolling?
[09:25] <Twinkie> Anyone able to respond to my hardware question? If you know your stuff I'd love the input.
[09:25] <cfhowlett> Twinkie, the gpu is a radeon, isn't it?  not the best record of linux support.  Intel or Nvidia are preferred IIRC
[09:26] <cfhowlett> Twinkie, in fact, avoid AMD altogether if possible
[09:26] <Twinkie> My whole system is AMD, I can't avoid it ._. i built it lol
[09:26] <Ben64> nothing wrong with amd cpu
[09:26] <mdoge> only a little bit
[09:27] <Twinkie> So you think my GPU will have issues?
[09:27] <Ben64> quite possibly
[09:27] <Twinkie> Are they unable to be solved or really ahrd to solve?
[09:27] <Twinkie> hard*
[09:27] <cfhowlett> !amd
[09:27] <Ben64> not sure, last ati i had was radeon 9200
[09:28] <Twinkie> Ah, so I could possibly get lucky with this new-ish card being compatible. Mm.
[09:28] <Ben64> might need a newer version of the drivers than ubuntu ships with, you may need to use the xorg-edgers PPA
[09:28] <OerHeks> Twinkie, forum tread about your videocard, it is working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2244700
[09:29] <Twinkie> Whoa, you're a good hunter
[09:29] <Twinkie> I'll check it out real quick
[09:30] <hateball> Twinkie: The issues are more related to performance than it working at all, afaik
[09:30] <hateball> For any AMD GPU, that is
[09:32] <Twinkie> So basically it DOES work, but the performance might be pooped on, even with proper drivers.
[09:35] <Twinkie> @Ben64 what would xorg-edgers PPA be? I know next to nothing about linux/ubuntu related softwares
[09:35] <Twinkie> if that even is a software O-o

[09:50] <egreb> hi, installed ubuntu on my desktop. The computer shuts down at boot screen, but sometimes it doesn't. Is there some logs I can look at to find the reason for the shutdown in boot?
[09:51] <dragan> should i upgrade to 14.10 or should i stick to 14.04(lts) till next lts(16.04)?
[09:51] <Ben64> dragan: really up to you
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> dragan: i would stick to trusty
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> dragan: alot of users with screen issues on 14.10
[09:52] <lotuspsychje> dragan: depends what you choose like Ben64 suggests
[09:53] <enyc> dragan: if 14.04 LTS is working for you keep it!!  new versions introduce lots of smaller changes and potential problems...
[09:53] <enyc> dragan: AIUI there will be lots of   disruptive changes on the way to 16.04  which will hopefully improve matters =)
[09:54] <enyc> dragan: but will take time to sort out...  as always
[09:56] <dragan> im using ubuntu since 8 but i've heard that xx.10 releases arent so stable like xx.04 releases. i will probably wait unitll 15.04(i could swear i've red that ubuntu is gonna be on the roll release). Anyways where i can inform that my dell 5520 hardware gonna work?
[09:59] <Ben64> dragan: theres no difference between .04 and .10, LTS ones happen to be 8.04 10.04 12.04 14.04 16.04, but 13.04, 15.04, etc are not LTS
[10:02] <bernard__> #python
[10:02] <enyc> dragan: avoid saying just '8' -- thtas confusing...  8.04 and 8.10 are different releases  --  LTS releases are generally more stable versions indeed...
[10:03] <enyc> dragan: the best thing you can do is boot the live-CD / live-USB on the dell-5520 and see if it works well!  you don't need to install it to test...
[10:06] <dragan> when i said 8 i ment 2008 (8.04, 8.10), totally forgot about livecd probably cause im upggrading since my laptop came with 12.10 i think.
[10:06] <Ben64> dragan: 8.04 and 8.10 are completely different versions though. if you're going to be talking about a version, you should use the complete version number
[10:07] <dragan> Ben64, ok

[10:14] <OerHeks> waykool99, any program that can handle iso will do, K3B, Brassero too
[10:18] <waykool99> Ah thx. Forgot about K3B. CD/DVD Burn is a drag-and-drop simple program. Will try K3B. Thx for your suggestions.

[10:24] <OerHeks> bunny, how it that related to ubuntu support?
[10:24] <bunny> okie
[10:24] <reed> BSz|away, use the ". .bash_alias"

[10:25] <reed> BSz|away, followed by the file where you store your aliases

[10:36] <mrcloud> do you guys have some idea about why I can connect to a ngircd server on my ubuntu from a client like kiwiirc (online) but not from irssi?
[10:55] <Twinkie> Not really ubuntu related, but if I want to dual-boot (in my case trio-boot) my system with 3 different OS, does each OS have to be on a seperate hard-drive? This isn't a problem, just curious.
[10:56] <jpds> Twinkie: No, just seperate partitions.
[10:56] <Twinkie> Ah, alright. Thanks =) Next question : when fully installed, what is the size & space leeway Ubunto would need and come out to?
[10:57] <OerHeks> 6.4 gb+
[10:57] <EriC^^> about 7GB
[10:57] <Twinkie> Awesome. Any idea for Mint, then?
[10:58] <EriC^^> Twinkie: add like 3-4GB for installing programs and such
[10:58] <Twinkie> Also, why the hell is windows so big? takes like 40 friggen gigs ._.
[10:58] <Twinkie> Ah, so ubunto would round up to about 10 ~ 15 gigs then?
[10:58] <Twinkie> ubuntu*
[10:59] <Twinkie> Just trying to figure out if my 120gig ssd is big enough for all three if partitioned correctly. Sorry for the endless questioning

[11:09] <hmmwhatsthisdo> My brother set up an ubuntu box for me to use at home. He set up my (admin) account to not have a password, and administrative tools are asking me for it but I don't have it. How can I [re]set my password remotely?
[11:10] <Ben64> hmmwhatsthisdo: passwd
[11:10] <EriC^^> ubuntu doesnt have a root accout
[11:10] <EriC^^> hmmwhatsthisdo: remotely?
[11:10] <hmmwhatsthisdo> EriC^^: Yeah, over teamviewer
[11:10] <jpds> hmmwhatsthisdo: It's your user password.
[11:10] <EriC^^> yeah
[11:10] <hmmwhatsthisdo> Ben64: that still asks me for the password to my account (that doesn't exist)
[11:10] <EriC^^> if you can login then that's that
[11:11] <Ben64> hmmwhatsthisdo: can you log in via ssh
[11:11] <EriC^^> hmmwhatsthisdo: your account exists
[11:11] <EriC^^> type id
[11:11] <hmmwhatsthisdo> like the login screen doesn't prompt me for a password (automatic login is off), but anything requiring elevation does
[11:11] <hmmwhatsthisdo> ...apparently I'm in the nopasswdlogin group
[11:12] <EriC^^> no sudo or admin?
[11:12] <hmmwhatsthisdo> no, I'm in the sudo/admin groups as well
[11:12] <EriC^^> then you have privileges
[11:13] <Ben64> hmmwhatsthisdo: well you do have a password, i guess you just don't know it
[11:13] <EriC^^> what command are you trying to execute?
[11:13] <EriC^^> hmmwhatsthisdo: try this sudo passwd <yourusername>
[11:13] <EriC^^> you should be abe to set it without knowing it
[11:13] <hmmwhatsthisdo> still asks for my password
[11:13] <EriC^^> lol nevermind
[11:13] <EriC^^> yeah
[11:14] <hmmwhatsthisdo> I suppose I could elevate to root if I knew the root password, but it's 3 am and my brother is asleep
[11:14] <Ben64> there shouldn't be a root password
[11:14] <Ben64> !password | hmmwhatsthisdo
[11:14] <EriC^^> hmmwhatsthisdo: if it's not remotely
[11:15] <hmmwhatsthisdo> I'm fairly sure my brother set a password for root so that you could use it to un-break things
[11:15] <EriC^^> hmmwhatsthisdo: if you can get access to grub you can reset the password
[11:15] <Ben64> hmmwhatsthisdo: setting a password for root is not good
[11:15] <hmmwhatsthisdo> teamviewer is my only access mode at the moment
[11:15] <Ben64> then you're stuck
[11:16] <EriC^^> hmmwhatsthisdo: type sudo -l
[11:16] <EriC^^> you might have some added commands
[11:16] <EriC^^> with NOPASSWD
[11:16] <christian_> hello i have a question. is it more safe to use e.g. weechat through the repository or the ubuntu version? ppa-version is 1.01 and the "original" ubuntu version 0.4
[11:16] <hmmwhatsthisdo> no dice
[11:17] <Ben64> christian_: ubuntu version always
[11:17] <christian_> but it says these versions are not maintained
[11:17] <christian_> its in the universe
[11:18] <christian_> or just use ubuntu version in main and for additional software the ppa?
[11:19] <Ben64> christian_: ppas are unsupported 3rd party repositories, but do whatever you want
[11:19] <faust> christian_: it mostly depends on how much you trust the mantainers of that ppa in comparison to ubuntu devs
[11:19] <shakira32> hello

[11:50] <Guest75100> cfhowlett: tried, doesnt work
[11:52] <Guest75100> nothing works
[11:53] <faust> Guest75100: you may take a look in your bios menu if it let you select if the hardware switch should be always on or off
[11:56] <Guest75100> i dint have access to bios
[11:57] <Guest75100> its blocked by admin
[11:59] <faust> Guest75100: maybe tha admin doesn't want you to use wifi, or you may ask him help
[12:01] <DJones> Guest75100: Does this help at all http://askubuntu.com/questions/434547/wireless-hard-block Maybe try the "sudo rfkill unblock all" command

[12:11] <Quixx> I might need to install win7 on my current ubuntu boot drive. Is it going to be horribly difficult to fix the MBR so I can boot into 7 and linux afterwords?
[12:11] <newbsduser> hello, guys how can i download a file over http without wget or curl on bash?
[12:12] <Bond0> newbsduser: Just copy the file link and run it as : wget "link"
[12:12] <logikos> I got a new laptop with a graphics card that supports 3200x1800 and after installing ubuntu and switching to the nividia driver that is the only display resolution option it gives me .. which on this laptop is way to tiny
[12:12] <Bond0> Now back to my original question!! How to bond ppp0 and eth0??
[12:12] <logikos> any idea how I might get some other options
[12:12] <newbsduser> Bond0 i dont have wget
[12:13] <Ben64> newbsduser: then get it?
[12:13] <faust> Quixx: You will just need to reinstall grub in the mbr via a livecd "grub-install /dev/sda"
[12:13] <logikos> I want 1920x1080
[12:14] <Ben64> logikos: adjust the scaling of stuff, not the resolution then
[12:14] <faust> newbsduser: you may use netcat manually implementing http...
[12:15] <logikos> Ben64 I use the laptop with a doc with monitors that do not support that resolution, so that is not a viable solution for me
[12:15] <logikos> dock
[12:15] <faust> Bond0: are you sure that bonding is applicable in you use case?
[12:16] <Ben64> logikos: you should be able to adjust it all in nvidia-settings
[12:17] <Bond0> faust: Then what is?
[12:17] <Bond0> faust: Please suggest me if there is any other way?
[12:18] <faust> Bond0: you need something like this http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html
[12:21] <faust> newbsduser: echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.0\n"|nc www.google.com 80 > index.html
[12:27] <OnceMe> I have a problem, after ubuntu base update, on 14.04 ubuntu LTS I am missing full gnome view, like I don't have maximaze and minimize on windows.
[12:29] <OnceMe> I dont have unity at left side at all
[12:30] <OnceMe> windows button doesnt pull up search bar, dunno whats happening
[12:30] <k1l> OnceMe: what desktop are you on? unity? and what did "base update" mean?
[12:30] <k1l> OnceMe: what video card are you on and what driver ? how did you install that driver?
[12:32] <OnceMe> fglrx
[12:32] <OnceMe> I didnt updated it
[12:32] <OnceMe> how to access terminal?
[12:33] <k1l> OnceMe: how did you install it?
[12:33] <k1l> OnceMe: ctrl+alt+t
[12:34] <OnceMe> ok
[12:34] <OnceMe> before I login to the user
[12:34] <OnceMe> or after?
[12:34] <OnceMe> I dont see to opt out from gnome gui
 OnceMe: how did you install it?
[12:34] <k1l> the fglrx
[12:34] <OnceMe> dpkg -i fglrx......deb ?
[12:35] <OnceMe> but I cant access terminal now
[12:35] <OnceMe> ctrl alt t does not work
[12:35] <k1l> ah ok. that is the reason for your issue. you dont get updates and need to reinstall after a kernel update. that is why we suggest to use the fglrx form the ubuntu repos
[12:36] <OnceMe> i thin you helped me before k1l
[12:36] <OnceMe> am I right?
[12:36] <k1l> OnceMe: you can change to tty1 with ctrl+alt+f1 and come back with ctrl+alt+f7
[12:36] <k1l> dont know, dont do lists :)
[12:37] <OnceMe> ok that worke
[12:37] <OnceMe> d
[12:38] <OnceMe> installing fxlrgx
[12:38] <OnceMe> but everytime I update ubuntu base I face with this issue, why?
[12:39] <liuyu> 有没有中国人呀？
[12:39] <liuyu> hello

[12:45] <Ben64> logikos: yep, its nice
[12:46] <k1l> OnceMe: remove the driver you installed manually. then install the fglrx from the ubuntu repo

[12:52] <DJones> White_Cat: I know who runs that website, but they're not online at the moment
[12:52] <faust> White_Cat: "sudo iptables-save" does not do what you mey think
[12:52] <faust> may*
[12:52] <White_Cat> when I run those three lines it redirects the two ips
[12:52] <Ben64> White_Cat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[12:52] <White_Cat> I am not 100% sure what I am doing with these, I am open to other suggestions
[12:53] <White_Cat> these commands to achieve what I want but they are lost on reboot
[12:53] <Ben64> White_Cat: that link i gave you has a few options for that
[12:53] <faust> White_Cat: however here you should find how to save iptables rules: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[12:53] <White_Cat> Ben64 ya I am reading, its a fairly detailed list
[12:54] <White_Cat> "If you were to reboot your machine right now, your iptables configuration would disappear. Rather than type this each time you reboot, however, you can save the configuration, and have it start up automatically. To save the configuration, you can use iptables-save and iptables-restore."
[12:55] <White_Cat> faust is that what you mean?
[12:55] <White_Cat> oh he left
[12:55] <White_Cat> or she
[12:55] <White_Cat> Ben64 that is among the commands I use
[12:55] <Ben64> White_Cat: continue reading and it shows how to use them
[12:55] <White_Cat> okay
[12:57] <White_Cat> I imagine what concerns me more is the "Configuration on Startup for NetworkManager" section
[12:59] <iLoveJava1> I am actually running Linux Mint. I have installed JDK 8 from the tar.gz package by uncompressing it, copying it to /opt/java/jdk8/ add symlinks to /usr/bin and 'sudo apt-get --update-alternatives'. Now when I try to download GeoGebra using synaptics, i could see openjdk-7, openjdk-7-headless, default-jre-7 and default-jre-headless in the dependencies to be downloaded list.  how to tell synaptic that I have manually installed jdk and never ask me to install
[13:00] <Ben64> iLoveJava1: mint is not supported here, seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[13:00] <k1l> iLoveJava1:please ask the mint guys since they handle the updates and repos differently
[13:00] <iLoveJava1> i thought since the package management system is apt and synaptic, the procedures would be same
[13:01] <AlanBell> White_Cat: are you using iptables-persistent?
[13:01] <iLoveJava1> could you please tell how would you get around this if this was an ubuntu pc?
[13:01] <Ben64> iLoveJava1: the repositories are different though, with different packages
[13:02] <Twinkie> I would assume that Mint and Ubuntu run very differently, so even if they told you how to fix whatever problem on ubuntu, it wouldn't work on mint. It would more likely break something than fix it
[13:03] <Twinkie> Well, it "probably" wouldn't work on mint, I should say, coz I have no idea. Just assuming.
[13:03] <iLoveJava1> let's get more generic. I have manually installed a package from tar.gz archive. I need to tell apt that i have this package and mark it as an installed package so that apt wont ask again to install it as a dependency
[13:03] <AlanBell> White_Cat: iptables-save doesn't actually save anything, it just gives you some output that you could potentially save somewhere and then restore later, the saving and restoring bit is up to you, or install iptables-persistent and it does what you would expect in the first place
[13:04] <cfhowlett> iLoveJava1, mint does mint and mint is not ubuntu.  for ubuntu support; install ubuntu.  otherwise; ask mint.
[13:04] <Twinkie> Well sed.
[13:04] <Twinkie> said* I dissapoint myself.
[13:04] <iLoveJava1> disappoint* :)
[13:04] <Twinkie> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</3
[13:05] <k1l> iLoveJava1: again: mint does that package handling a  lot differently so ubuntu updates dont override their mint stuff. so ask them.
[13:05] <iLoveJava1> hmm
[13:09] <White_Cat> sudo apt-get install network-manager gives an error
[13:10] <sacarlson> iLoveJava1: why don't you just let it install the wanted dependancy then overwrite the ban after if that is a benifit
[13:10] <White_Cat> Err http://ubuntu.mirrors.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main libsystemd-login0 amd64 204-5ubuntu20.7 404  Not Found
[13:10] <sacarlson> ban = bin
[13:11] <iLoveJava1> I already have installed jdk 8. I am on a dialup connection and ~ 100 MB is pretty large for me. Also oracle jdk 8 is not available in mint repos
[13:11] <jpds> White_Cat: apt-get update
[13:11] <White_Cat> ah yeah
