[11:59] <bekks> Radon_3: Or do you just think you need it?
[12:00] <AceKing> I'm already dual booting Windows 8 with Ubuntu. I just wanted to put a fresh copy of Ubuntu on
[12:00] <Radon_3> I am thinkng maybe something else (not only nvidia) maybe the OS itself would probably need it.
[12:00] <bekks> Radon_3: You are wrong with that.
[12:01] <Radon_3> so I am going to permanently disablemodesetting... does it sound good?
[12:01] <bekks> Radon_3: For testing purposes - sure.
[12:01] <abraxas> Hi after installing 14.04 on another drive and updating grub (didn't find my win7 first). My keyboard and mouse stopped working on win7??? They still work in the grub menu and stop working on the win7 login. Any ideas?
[12:01] <Radon_3> bekks: so you see, I am not a tester, I am a user man.
[12:02] <bekks> Radon_3: Actually you are a tester - you have an issue and you have to test a workaround.
[12:03] <Radon_3> bekks: Do you think it is such a good idea to first disable mode setting temporarily, install the Nvidia driver, and then remove Nouvoua drive totally, and then enable modesetting again??
[12:03] <Radon_3> do you thyink it would work?
[12:03] <bekks> Radon_3: Thats pretty much nonsense.
[12:03] <Radon_3> how so?
[12:04] <bekks> Radon_3: Install the nvidia driver from the ubuntu repos. Try booting. If it doesnt work, try using nomodeset. Try booting.
[12:04] <Radon_3> bekks: my deareset sweetest bekks I am trying to install drivers from nvidia website....
[12:05] <Radon_3> not from the repos
[12:05] <bekks> Radon_3: Do not do that.
[12:05] <Radon_3> why not honey?
[12:05] <bekks> You have no clue what you are doing, and your nvidia driver will break upon every kernel update.
[12:05] <bekks> If you call me honey once more, i will put you on ignore. I dont even know you.
[12:06] <Radon_3> bekks: well I sort of do, I am reading the manual.... ;(
[12:06] <bekks> Radon_3: you kinda dont, unless you are reading this:
[12:06] <bekks> !nvidia | Radon_3
[12:10] <abraxas> Just fyi: re-enabling UEFI Boot in bios solved my problem with the non-working keyboard an mouse.
[12:12] <asker> Hello.
[12:13] <_1_l> /
[12:17] <jwinterm> hi all, I have a kind of strange problem, wondering if anyone can help...
[12:17] <cfhowlett> !ask|jwinterm
[12:18] <jwinterm> I just installed 14.04 minimal install on a desktop with a 750W psu and two amd 270 gpus. The system boots, but only to tty1. I can run commands from the terminal, but if I run a command that will cause a lot of text to be output, the system crashes
[12:19] <jwinterm> for instance, "grub-install /dev/sda" is OK, only one line of text, but "grub-install --help" crashes computer
[12:19] <jwinterm> also, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" crashes computer
[12:19] <jwinterm> I'm thinking it's a power issue
[12:19] <mozzarella> what do you mean by "crash"?
[12:20] <jwinterm> not necessarily from psu, but maybe can't draw enough power from the wall
[12:20] <mozzarella> do you get a kernel panic?
[12:20] <jwinterm> screen kind of flashes then goes black
[12:20] <jwinterm> kaput
[12:20] <cfhowlett> jwinterm "power" meaning hardware? yeah, I can see that.  but any internal power issues should throw an error message if only to the logs
[12:21] <jwinterm> I mean power from the wall, like maybe circuit in the house isn't giving psu enough power and making it crash
[12:21] <jwinterm> is there a log file that would indicate that?
[12:21] <cfhowlett> jwinterm I've no knowledge of same but ##linux would know more
[12:22] <kreilog> hey, does anyone  the problem with BlueTooth after 14.04 ?
[12:22] <jwinterm> ok, I think I'm just gonna try and move it to a different circuit/part of house and see if that helps
[12:22] <kreilog> that the mouse won`t connect
[12:22] <cfhowlett> jwinterm that would be the easiest test ...
[12:25] <Aeterne> Hello. I have a problem that I cannot proceed to do anything after I attempt to log in on Ubuntu, and I can't seem to resolve the issue either.
[12:25] <Aeterne> How am I suppose to reinstall the thing when I can't even get internet because I can't login?
[12:26] <cfhowlett> Aeterne you don't need internet to install.
[12:26] <Aeterne> Can you explain how I enter the shell and reinstall it without internet?
[12:27] <Aeterne> Of course, I'm so lucky that I can't even login in the shell... I suspect it's the ÆØÅ characters.
[12:27] <KGM70> it helps to have internet during installation for wifi detection tho
[12:27] <cfhowlett> Aeterne explain
[12:28] <Aeterne> My username is my name, which contains the Å-Norwegian letter, so I can't even login as root. This is all terribly convoluted.  Perfect timing, as it always is!
[12:28] <skfax> det årner seg
[12:28] <Aeterne> :( Det håper jeg.
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> Aeterne  change your username to something more readable, and don't login as root
[12:29] <Radon_3> How can I determine which xorg configuration file Nouveau is using at the moment?
[12:29] <Radon_3> does nouveau use xorg.conf at all?
[12:30] <Aeterne> How do I do that without root privileges to begin with?
[12:32] <suci> hello all
[12:33] <MonkeyDust> Aeterne  doing something with root priviliges is not the same as login as root
[12:33] <asker> Is it possible to dual boot windows and ubuntu on a external hard drive? Say, I have 2 partitions, with ubuntu on one, and windows on the other. Would I be able to plug the external hard drive into a computer, and select windows or ubuntu using grub?
[12:34] <suci> anyone can help me to solve the error message while installing VGA driver. the error message is sorry, sorry the installation of this driver failed
[12:34] <Lorith[Alpha]> asker it theoritically possible
[12:35] <jiltdil> Hi there...
[12:36] <Aeterne> http://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username
[12:36] <Lorith[Alpha]> since the bios saw the external HDD and internal equally i think
[12:36] <Aeterne> Literally every method
[12:36] <Aeterne> that lists how to change the username relies on administrative rights, MonkeyDust.
[12:36] <Aeterne> So if you could provide a link of some kind, that'd be helpful.
[12:36] <asker> Lorith[Alpha]: How would one accomplish that, though?
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> Aeterne  use sudo [command], if you want to do something as root
[12:37] <dw1> Aeterne: Ctrl-Shift-U then 00C5 then enter
[12:38] <Radon_3> would someone please tell me how to determine which xorg.conf file nouveau is using at the moment?
[12:39] <osse> Aeterne: are you sure your full name is the user name? usually when you install ubuntu you provide your full name and it generates a suitable username from it
[12:39] <dw1> Aeterne: may not work in console :(
[12:40] <dw1> Aeterne: but you could boot a liveusb then chroot with #3-7 here http://tinyurl.com/ubchroot to modify the filesystem
[12:40] <dw1> Aeterne: you can reinstall packages from there too
[12:41] <Aeterne> Hrmm... All I allegedly need to do is reinstall ubuntu-desktop as that's the thing that fails after updating the Ubuntu system, supposedly.
[12:41] <Aeterne> So would you recommend that, then?
[12:42] <dw1> Aeterne: yeah you can install it in a chroot
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> Aeterne  if you should reinstall, create a separate /home partition, som you personal files are safe
[12:42] <Aeterne> I already put /home in the 1TB SSD and put everything else in the 120GB SSD
[12:43] <Aeterne> If I lost 20k+ words of text... oh man.
[12:43] <Aeterne> I'd probably just give this semester a fond farewell.
[12:43] <Lorith[Alpha]> well, i never install in multiple drives, but i think it's 100% possible if you run diskless PC (just unplug the internal HDD) then treat it as installing windows+ubuntu dual boot
[12:44] <dw1> Aeterne: chroot is basically the same as logging into recovery mode as root
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> Aeterne  always backup important files
[12:44] <Lorith[Alpha]> aeterne u can drop to root privilege at recovery mode u know that right?
[12:44] <dw1> Lorith[Alpha]: he cant login cause of special character
[12:45] <Aeterne> ^  Thank you.
[12:45] <Aeterne> This is correct.
[12:47] <dw1> Aeterne: so boot a liveusb and in a console or terminal do the chroot (#3-7 at http://tinyurl.com/ubchroot) with your ubuntu root partition then you can reinstall packages and/or rename users/folders
[12:48] <Aeterne> I take it I replace /sda1 with my respective /root partition, yes?
[12:48] <dw1> yep
[12:49] <Aeterne> I did, but when I followed with the next step, it simply says mount point doesn't exist.
[12:49] <dw1> sounds like a simple error
[12:49] <dw1> wrong partition or no /mnt
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> brb
[12:50] <Radon_3> dw1: could you tell me how I can see which xorg.conf is being used by nouveau right now?
[12:51] <dw1> Radon_3: no idea...
[12:51] <Lorith[Alpha]> oi ae, so u need to change your username coz u can't login and uninstall some stuff right?
[12:51] <Radon_3> ;(
[12:51]  * osse is still wondering how he managed to create the user name in the first place
[12:51] <osse> all the times I've installed ubuntu the installer has forbidden it
[12:51] <dw1> maybe it was created after install then install username was deleted :)
[12:52] <Aeterne> Yes, Lorith. Also, osse, I have to assume it's the reason because the username / pw I use doesn't work when I enter into the shell.
[12:52] <Radon_3> whose username are we talking about? It sounds iunteresting.
[12:52] <Aeterne> I used the installation for many days until there was an update yesterday which, well, caused this when I woke this morning.
[12:52] <Aeterne> Bård Spein is the username.
[12:52] <auscompgeek> hmm, is there a compelling reason as to why ubiquity is preferring to to install to my second hdd?
[12:52] <cfhowlett> Aeterne if it EVER worked, then user name is not the problem
[12:53] <Aeterne> Then why can't I even login to the shell? Ubuntu boots up just fine: it's that when I login, it just stalls, does nothing, nothing happens and I can't enter the desktop.
[12:53] <Aeterne> That's the problem here, just so I reiterate for everybody who's interested here.
[12:53] <Lorith[Alpha]> http://askubuntu.com/questions/410244/a-command-to-list-all-users-in-ubuntu
[12:53] <cfhowlett> Aeterne suggest you reboot and try an older kernel.
[12:53] <dw1> oh that doesnt sound like username
[12:53] <Lorith[Alpha]> check which one is yours
[12:54] <Lorith[Alpha]> from there
[12:54] <dw1> but the username will make it hard to get into recovery mode
[12:54] <Aeterne> OK, thank you. I'll do that.
[12:54] <dw1> /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[12:54] <Lorith[Alpha]> recovery mode use root i think, not requiring any login
[12:54] <dw1> and /home/user/.xsession-errors
[12:55] <Lorith[Alpha]> brb trying my method in my pc
[12:55] <dw1> Lorith[Alpha]: oh is it automated ogin :/
[12:55] <Aeterne> Hrm... I can't really list all the users. Once again: I can't login to shell to begin with.
[12:56] <dw1> Aeterne: check logs in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
[12:57] <dw1> someone just had a very similar problem 2 days ago but i forget the fix
[12:57] <osse> Aeterne: in case you haven't already, while booting the live system, *make a copy* of your important files
[12:57] <Lorith[Alpha]> restart> (in grub)advanced option for ubuntu>ubuntu blah2 (recovery mode)> root
[12:57] <dw1> files shouldnt be affected...
[12:57] <Lorith[Alpha]> no login whatsoever
[12:58] <Lorith[Alpha]> and oh it's root administrative
[12:58] <dw1> yeah i think they had no desktop package
[12:58] <gusey> did anyone get f.lux working on ubuntu 14.04?
[12:59] <dw1> Aeterne: to get the package you might need the internet and therefore liveusb + chroot as before
[12:59] <dw1> Aeterne: or dhclient from recovery might work
[13:00] <Aeterne> I should be good in terms of files.
[13:00] <caruso> hola alguien que hable español?
[13:00] <Aeterne> Let's see. So I need to check the Xorg logs.
[13:00] <cfhowlett> !es|caruso
[13:02] <Motzpuppe> hello, anybodyy cout there who could help me to install ubuntu 14.4 out of an old 12.10 Sytem?
[13:02] <dw1> Aeterne: "All I allegedly need to do is reinstall ubuntu-desktop as that's the thing that fails after updating the Ubuntu system,  supposedly.
[13:02] <Motzpuppe> mean could
[13:02] <dw1> Aeterne: was there some error
[13:02] <Aeterne> Not as I recall, no.
[13:03] <dw1> Aeterne: just guessing?
[13:04] <Aeterne> I'm pretty sure there wasn't, but at that point I had written about 6000 words and was on the verge of being lethargic. ;p
[13:04] <gusey> what is the best word processor for ubuntu?
[13:05] <cfhowlett> gusey the one that you prefer.  no "best" - it's a subjective choice.
[13:05] <Lorith[Alpha]> @gusey i'm fine with libre
[13:05] <milmih> Hi guys, I have a problem with my wifi, wherever it tries to connect to the particular router it doesn't recognize that it already saved the connection configuration and then it makes a new connection configuration and doesn't detect the right wifi security
[13:05] <cfhowlett> !best
[13:05] <milmih> can anybody help? tell me what do you need to know?
[13:06] <llutz>  cfhowlett factoid gone too :(
[13:06] <cfhowlett> llutz yeah, that last spring-cleaning wiped out some good ones.
[13:08] <Lorith[Alpha]> aeterne tell me your main objective, do u want to recover your file or smthing?
[13:08] <milmih> Guys, please, does anybody know anything about wi-fi connection and how can it not detect the right wifi security?
[13:09] <dw1> Aeterne: well if you cant get into unity you can always install one of a dozen other window managers if you can get connected to the net and use the package manager http://askubuntu.com/questions/65083/what-different-desktop-environments-and-shells-are-available
[13:09] <vlad_starkov> Question: Can anyone explain me how to properly restart networking without system reboot on Ubuntu Server 14.04?
[13:10] <dw1> Aeterne: i personally use gnome-session-flashback (gnome classic)
[13:10] <Aeterne> I still can't get to connected to the internet. The ethernet driver is weird, sadly, and wirelss has insufficient privileges.
[13:10] <gusey> edit and change the settings?
[13:10] <dw1> Aeterne: should be able to on liveusb ?
[13:10] <Aeterne> I'll have to reinstall and be done with it, I think. I simply have too much exam stress weighing on me in order to give me the patience I need to resolve it.
[13:10] <Aeterne> Sadly, I haven't been able to, no. :(
[13:11] <dw1> Aeterne: well in that case make an offline copy of files just in case :)
[13:11] <vlad_starkov> I changed settings in/etc/network/interfaces and then ran sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart but no luck
[13:11] <llutz> vlad_starkov: sudo ifdown -a && sudo ifup -a
[13:12] <dw1> Aeterne: im sure you can boot a usb stick in live usb, mount the partition, grab the files .....
[13:12] <dw1> Aeterne: at worst
[13:12] <subz3r0> for newer ubuntu versions you should use: sudo service networking start/stop/restart
[13:12] <Lorith[Alpha]> +1 to dw
[13:12] <vlad_starkov> llutz: ok then, should I actually run "/etc/init.d/networking restart"?
[13:12] <llutz> subz3r0: networking restart is deprecated since ages
[13:12] <Aeterne> Yeah, dw1. :) I'm safe in that regard.
[13:13] <dw1> Aeterne: its really just a missing package or 2 but with no inet cant really fix it
[13:13] <dw1> Aeterne: though i dont see how a new install will be different than liveusb
[13:13] <dw1> Aeterne: as far as internet is concerned
[13:13] <llutz> vlad_starkov: tbh there is no clean way for ifupdown anymore. either use ifdown/ifup -a    or just the ifaces you changed
[13:14] <llutz> vlad_starkov: sudo ifdown ethX && sudo ifup ethX             like this
[13:14] <vlad_starkov> llutz: if I changed network bridges config?
[13:15] <auscompgeek> I have a system with two HDDs. Is it better to go with installing Ubuntu on a partition on my second HDDwhich doesn't have Windows, or install on my first HDD (which has Windows and a recovery partition)?
[13:16] <cfhowlett> auscompgeek install OS to one HDD and save all data to the other would be my choice
[13:17] <KGM70> auscompgeek, I use my 2nd hdd for linux , works well
[13:17] <dw1> Aeterne: the other option is copy package files to a usb stick from a computer with internet.......
[13:17] <dw1> Aeterne: but id try to fix the net
[13:18] <vlad_starkov> llutz: ok thanks
[13:19] <juwper> pm me anyone that can help me, I am stuck at initramfs prompt. Read all the forum posts, nothing helped me
[13:20] <daftykins> juwper: we do not PM here, help is asked for and given in-channel so that everyone can comment or benefit
[13:20] <juwper> ok, so anyone can help me with this?
[13:20] <daftykins> juwper: you're going to need to detail what happened to lead to this point before anyone knows where to start
[13:21] <juwper> i am totally newbie
[13:21] <juwper> tried to dual boot win8 and ubuntu 14.04
[13:21] <juwper> didn't detect ubuntu
[13:21] <Aeterne> Thanks to everyone who joined in helping me out. :) It didn't work out, but I appreciate the effort. I think I'll be going with Awesome after reinstalling.
[13:22] <juwper> formatted, tried to install ubuntu only
[13:22] <juwper> now it is always stuck in initframts
[13:22] <auscompgeek> cfhowlett: right, that's what I'd prefer. although, ubiquity wants to go the other way, which leaves me to question
[13:22] <juwper> tried boot rescue, etc, nothing worked
[13:22] <KGM70> juwper, use legacy mode in the uefi/bios
[13:23] <milmih> Hi guys, I have a problem with my wifi, wherever it tries to connect to the particular router it doesn't recognize that it already saved the connection configuration and then it makes a new connection configuration and doesn't detect the right wifi security
[13:23] <juwper> how is that?
[13:23] <milmih> can anybody help? tell me what do you need to know?
[13:23] <juwper> opened my bios lots of times, but has no configuration to do a few things i read at the foruns
[13:24] <KGM70> juwper,  look for legacy mode in your boot sequence section
[13:24] <auscompgeek> KGM70: does that cause any problems with booting either windows or ubuntu (e.g. would I have to choose which device to boot from)?
[13:25] <juwper> my bios doens't have that
[13:25] <Guest95346> Hello
[13:26] <poop> hi
[13:26] <Guest95346> Exploit has Left #ubuntu ()
[13:26] <Guest95346> hows  you all
[13:26] <juwper> KGM70, is there any diferrent way to enter bios appart from pressing f2 at the start?
[13:26] <Guest95346> Exploit<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has Joined #ubuntu
[13:26] <KGM70> auscompgeek, not a problem if you update grub in linux , then your windows install should be listed when you boot
[13:26] <mauro> ciao
[13:28] <KGM70> juwper, if you enter bios with f2 then that's the correct key for your machine
[13:29] <KGM70> juwper, what's your computer model ?
[13:29] <juwper> KGM70, Toshiba L500 5years old now
[13:30] <mauro> http://chat.ubuntu-it.org/#ubuntu-it
[13:31] <KGM70> juwper, ok then you probly don't have uefi , should have asked earlier... try holding down the left shift key right after the bios screen to bring up grub
[13:31] <auscompgeek> KGM70: I see. I think I'll resize my Windows partition though; I don't have as much space left on my 2nd hdd.
[13:32] <juwper> KGM70, i am switching to nickname juwper2 because I am using the Toshiba L500 with live CD, please reply to that nick, ok? thanks, will do what you are telling me and post there what happened
[13:32] <auscompgeek> KGM70: any compelling reason as to why installing on 2nd hdd would be better though?
[13:32] <KGM70> auscompgeek, it doesn't matter which hdd you use, as long as the OSs are onm separate drives
[13:33] <Lorith[Alpha]> @KGM edit: separate partition
[13:33] <auscompgeek> KGM70: drives or partitions? :)
[13:33] <Lorith[Alpha]> the right one is the partition
[13:34] <juwper2> KGM70, entered GRUB
[13:34] <KGM70> I'm sticking with your original questio auscompgeek , you can have windowes and linux on separate partitions on the same drive , if you want there's no rule against it
[13:35] <rp123> any sed gurus here?
[13:35] <KGM70> juwper2, ok , is windows listed ?
[13:35] <juwper2> no, i installed ubuntu only
[13:35] <auscompgeek> I understand that, but I'm asking whether there's a good reason why having them on separate drives
[13:36] <juwper2> entered gpart, put my hdd into only one partition and installed a fresh ubuntu
[13:36] <KGM70> juwper2, ok , so does ubuntu boot ?
[13:37] <Lorith[Alpha]> i'd rather install in different hdd if i need to resize  my windows partition, since i may ruin the content
[13:37] <juwper2> no, stays blank screen for a while and goes into initramfs after that
[13:37] <Lorith[Alpha]> if there's empty partition then i'll mess eith that
[13:38] <Lorith[Alpha]> *with
[13:39] <KGM70> auscompgeek, i find it more convenient to have separate drives for different installs
[13:40] <KGM70> auscompgeek, if one drive fails the computer can still be booted albeit with a boot cd, but it will still run
[13:40] <juwper2> KGM70, says: Gave up waiting for root device and gives an alert: /dev/disk/by-uuid/d44835e1-0da7-4888-9865-fbb1cdead46d dos not exist. and goes to initramfs
[13:42] <milmih> Hi guys, I have a problem with my wifi, wherever it tries to connect to the particular router it doesn't recognize that it already saved the connection configuration and then it makes a new connection configuration and doesn't detect the right wifi security. Can anybody help me, please?
[13:42] <KGM70> juwper2, do you see grub at all ?
[13:42] <juwper2> yes, i see grub
[13:43] <juwper2> now i don't
[13:43] <juwper2> i see command line only
[13:43] <juwper2> with initramfs
[13:43] <KGM70> juwper2, then choose the recovery kernel and choose repair option in the dialog
[13:45] <juwper2> KGM70, i have Ubuntu; Advanced options for Ubuntu; Memory test; Memory test (serial console), which should I choose?
[13:46] <UBuxuBU> did clean install of ubuntu 14.04 laptop booted to desktop and then mouse froze had to do hard restart and froze again??
[13:46] <KGM70> advanced options , then the recovery kernel, juwper2
[13:46] <UBuxuBU> i have run 1204 nicely on this same laptop
[13:46] <UBuxuBU> is something wrong with 1404
[13:47] <compdoc> 14.04 seems fine to me
[13:47] <juwper2> KGM70, did that, run a few command lines and stuck at initramfs again
[13:47]  * Lorith[Alpha] gave up in hardware thingy
[13:47] <KGM70> juwper2, in the command line you can login and update and upgrade there if you wish
[13:47] <UBuxuBU> wonder whats going on freezes up like a brick shorty after getting to desktop
[13:47] <juwper2> KGM70, how do i do that?
[13:48] <UBuxuBU> does 1404 need newer hardware or something?
[13:48] <KGM70> ctl+alt+f1 to f6 , should give a login prompt, juwper2
[13:49] <juwper2> ctrl+alt+f2 is the only that happens anything, but gives me a bank screen with cursor blinking
[13:50] <juwper2> no other happen anything
[13:50] <Lorith[Alpha]> UBuxuBU: i don't think so, just some hardware error *may* not supported yet since error never brought up to dev
[13:52] <juwper2> KGM70, ctrl+alt+f2 is the only that happens anything, but gives me a bank screen with cursor blinking
[13:52] <juwper2> KGM70, no other happen anything
[13:52] <ntg-work> I'm having problems binding my screen brightness keys. acpi_listen are not discovering the keys and xev is not seeing any input either, I'm fairly out of ideas what to do now, any tips?
[13:53] <KGM70> juwper2, sorry I'm out of ideas, unless someone else has one ... maybe try a reinstall
[13:54] <nith1210> juwper2: Would you mind recapping your issue?
[13:54] <juwper2> did that several times, nothing worked
[13:55] <juwper2> tried to install win8 and ubuntu 14.04 on dual boot system, found that it was very hard on internet foruns and i wasn't able too...so i formatted hdd and did a clean ubuntu 14.04 install. Now i am stuck on initramfs and can't login
[13:56] <nith1210> juwper2: Ok, so what message is busybox giving you?

[13:57] <Lorith[Alpha]> did some win7+ubu14 and get some error coz the windows read HDD as MBR but ubuntu read it as gpt. it "may" happen to you too
[13:58] <nith1210> juwper2: Do you have drives listed in /dev/disk/by-uuid ?
[13:58] <juwper2> nith1210, how do i see that?
[13:58] <juwper2> nith1210, sorry, i am completely newbie to ubuntu
[13:58] <nith1210> juwper2: just do ls /dev/sd*

[14:03] <juwper2> nith1210, no
[14:05] <nith1210> I think your best bet is livecd; mount the / of your install; Print /etc/fstab onto paper, then restart and hit "e" for grub

[14:05] <nith1210> juwper2: Change the uuid so that it matches what your fstab has listed for /, then boot. Once the os starts, sudo update-grub
[14:06] <nith1210> juwper2: I'm sorry I can't stick around to try to walk you through that but that's at least my recommendation.

[14:15] <airtonix> however... lots of files with the word 'extra' in there
[14:15] <auscompgeek> I keep forgetting, do I want my main Ubuntu partition to be primary or logical?
[14:16] <juwper2> cannot run ubuntu 14.04 in graphic mode, always stuck in initramfs, can anyone help me?
[14:16] <holstein> !nomodeset | juwper2
[14:17] <daftykins> auscompgeek: depends on your current disk layout
[14:17] <holstein> juwper2: though, i think that could be a different error you are misinterpretting.. i would check my live bootable media and the md5 sums
[14:17] <juwper2> ubottu, thanks, tried to edit commands, but keep going to initramfs
[14:17] <juwper2> holstein, how do i do that?
[14:17] <qstrahl> Is there a way to differentiate between windows I as the user intentionally spawned and windows spawned by some process? I'd like to have windows spawn on associated workspaces "by default", unless I actively spawned them while on another workspace.
[14:18] <holstein> juwper2: ubottu is a bot, friend.. i asked it to share that information with you.. also..
[14:18] <holstein> !md5 | juwper2
[14:18] <auscompgeek> daftykins: I intend on having it on the same hdd as Windows; there's the OS and recovery partitions o  there already
[14:18] <daftykins> auscompgeek: MBR or GPT?
[14:19] <auscompgeek> daftykins: mbr
[14:19] <does> Anyone?
[14:19] <holstein> juwper2: its also quite easy to take the media to another machine.. ideally, one that has been known to support linux well, so you can rule out the issue you are seeing, and make sure its either graphics related, or, what i think it is, bad installation media
[14:19] <juwper2> holstein, i downloaded several linux distros, they all make this mistake
[14:19] <holstein> does: try it.. i have dont that, and it worked well
[14:19] <daftykins> auscompgeek: then yeah after a resize, i'd make the ubuntu / partition into a primary, then make the rest extended and put swap in there - will your /home be on another disk or there also?
[14:19] <holstein> juwper2: sure.. and your internet, and you, and if you are using the same USB stick, or optical drive to burn media are all constants
[14:21] <auscompgeek> daftykins: keeping /home on my /, don't really wanna screw things up
[14:21] <daftykins> auscompgeek: a separate /home is always good for reinstalls
[14:22] <random_user_6756> Hello, i tried to install xen on ubuntu, but when booting xen i get a black screen. Tried many tutorials. Any idea how to solve the problem?
[14:23] <daftykins> random_user_6756: so you're trying to boot the xen kernel?
[14:23] <random_user_6756> daftykins: yes
[14:24] <daftykins> random_user_6756: have you disabled the bootlogo and so on in the GRUB boot config to see if it streams messages and gets stuck somewhere?
[14:25] <random_user_6756> daftykins: no, how to do that?

[14:28] <sibu> ?
[14:28] <random_user_6756> daftykins: thank you, going to try that, brb

[14:41] <Zeusking19> Depends what you mean by download manager
[14:41] <Armag3dd0n1> flareget will not work for me
[14:41] <daftykins> random_user_5675: just checking, are you absolutely married to Xen for your intended virtualisation use?
[14:41] <Zeusking19> OK, hold on
[14:41] <MonkeyDust> !info flareget
[14:41] <Armag3dd0n1> zeu; i need a download manager that supports ssl and http downloads
[14:42] <MonkeyDust> Armag3dd0n1  what do you want to download?
[14:42] <Zeusking19> Have you tried uGet?
[14:42] <Armag3dd0n1> nope what is uget?
[14:42] <nutzz> hey guys, Where does gcc store stdarg.h header? If I write echo $PATH it displays me a blank line.

[14:44] <Kurvivor> Hello! can i ask questions for dual-OS here?
[14:44] <daftykins> random_user_5675: what are you wanting a guest to have full graphics card access for?
[14:44] <Kurvivor> i have an extra HDD with Windows XP on it
[14:44] <MonkeyDust> Kurvivor  ask and wait
[14:44] <Kurvivor> And i would like to set up my system
[14:44] <daftykins> Kurvivor: if you can type your situation and query on one line, thatd be great.
[14:44] <Zeusking19> Kurvivor: I'll be happy to help
[14:44] <daftykins> Kurvivor: also know that XP is dead so every bit of advice should begin with "remove XP" :)

[14:45] <ActionParsnip> !info fatrat | Armag3dd0n1
[14:45] <random_user_5675> daftykins: Yes, i have 2 cards(actually 1 is comming), so i could give 1 to a virtual machine
[14:45] <Kurvivor> I have extra HDD with windows XP. Wgat sgould i do to set up my system in a way that would allow me to load either Ubuntu (on my main/current HDD) or Xp?
[14:45] <linuxlite1991> sup
[14:45] <Zeusking19> Kurvivor: Well, how many HD's do you have in total? Do you want to install Ubuntu on a seperate HD?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> Armag3dd0n1: also has a webui so you can manage downloads from another system as well as add files to download
[14:46] <Armag3dd0n1> sc?
[14:46] <Armag3dd0n1> uget is too slow
[14:46] <Armag3dd0n1> :/
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> Kurvivor: boot to ubuntu install cd, resize ntfs and install to the freed space
[14:46] <daftykins> random_user_5675: if you're going to try and game with Windows whilst having an ubuntu host OS... i don't think that's going to work out too well
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> Kurvivor: you do know WinXP is dead
[14:47] <xangua> Armag3dd0n1: a download manager will not speed up your downloads
[14:47] <Armag3dd0n1> uget 10.1MB/s | flareget 19.8MB/s so yes it does
[14:48] <Armag3dd0n1> going to try fatrat now thanks
[14:48] <Armag3dd0n1> :D
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Armag3dd0n1: jdownloader too, needs java
[14:49] <Armag3dd0n1> jdownloader sucks on windows so not sure about linux
[14:49] <daftykins> one does not knowingly suggest someone use java
[14:49] <daftykins> ;)
[14:49] <daftykins> Kurvivor: yeah XP should not be used anymore so i don't see any reason for you to dualboot with it.
[14:49] <Armag3dd0n1> has fatrat got a chrome plugin?
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> i sometimes use XP in vbox
[14:51] <random_user_5675> daftykins: Why not, there are many videos of people playing games through xen on linux. Mostly arch and gentoo, but it looks doable.
[14:51] <daftykins> seems like a horrible idea to me
[14:52] <random_user_5675> daftykins: just the ubuntu part or the whole idea?
[14:52] <daftykins> all of it really :)
[14:52] <daftykins> random_user_5675: anywho, looks like maybe there's a bug in that kernel or something - maybe try and check there isn't a newer package available, or try a different distro
[14:53] <Armag3dd0n1> fatrat doesn't work eithert
[14:53] <Armag3dd0n1> handshake failed
[14:53] <Armag3dd0n1> ugh
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> Armag3dd0n1: try axel in cli

[14:54] <random_user_5675> daftykins: actually i am a gentoo/funtoo user, and had some issues getting xen working there(kernel panic), so tried ubuntu :), anyway it should be working on kvm, so I will try KVM now.
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> Guest29552: sounds like your screen doesnt like the resolution of the tty

[15:18] <Anubis> hi
[15:19] <Anubis> i just update my ubuntu/kubuntu box and now my linux box won't start right
[15:19] <Anubis> i think it's something related to the 3.13 kernel
[15:20] <MonkeyDust> Anubis  "won't start"? what goes wrong?
[15:24] <Anubis> monkeydust: well it starts and then it throwing me a bunch of error messages most of them related to ipt and nf_conn
[15:24] <Anubis> and it's ending with SYSCALL or something like that
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Anubis: if you hold SHIFT at boot, can you boot an older kernel ok?
[15:25] <Anubis> right now i'm in recovery mode
[15:25] <Guest94430> hi, does installation partition for lunux needs to be Primary Or logical/extended will work too. i already have win 8
[15:25] <peterpacz1> Hello, I have a question: What exactly is the linux kernel? Is it "core" of the operating system, with the bare minimum of things to have a shell and a filesystem? Or is it more of a interface between the BIOS and the hardware, and the shell and filesystem are other things?
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Anubis: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[15:25] <Anubis> ActionParsnip: i can see and select an older kernel 3.2x
[15:25] <bazhang> peterpacz1, thats outside the scope of this channel
[15:26] <peterpacz1> bazhang: What do you mean?
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> peterpacz1: it manages hardware and RAM access to the OS it is built on
[15:26] <bazhang> peterpacz1, this is Ubuntu support
[15:26] <peterpacz1> ActionParsnip: So, if I plug the linux kernel into a CD, and try to boot from it, it wouldnt exactly work or do anything useful.
[15:26] <Anubis> ActionParsnip: 14.04 LTS
[15:26] <peterpacz1> bazhang: Your right, sorry.
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> peterpacz1: the minimal iso is essentially that. Kernel + drivers + bootloader and a few tools.
[15:27] <Guest94430> hi, does installation partition for lunux needs to be Primary Or logical/extended will work too. i already have win 8.
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> peterpacz1: it doesnt do much on its own
[15:28] <peterpacz1> ActionParsnip: So, there won't be any command line or text editors, just the foundations of a system that /could/ have those things. Am I making sense?
[15:28] <Guest94430> linux*
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Guest94430: it doesnt make any difference
[15:28] <Guest94430> ok, thanks.
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> peterpacz1: the mini iso comes with vi and nano if memory serves
[15:29] <Guest94430> and as i read on web. unetbootin is fine to make bootable usb.
[15:29] <Guest94430> ?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Guest94430: its one tool to do it, yes
[15:29] <Guest94430> ok.
[15:29] <peterpacz1> ActionParsnip: Would there be a command line? Can I do basic commands like ls, mkdir, or cp? Or are those things not there?
[15:29] <peterpacz1> ActionParsnip: Is there even fancy things like sudo, or adduser?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> peterpacz1: yes you will get a bash shell and a few tools like package management
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> Guest94430: you can install windows in a logical partition too. The default is to use primary though
[15:38] <Guest94430> windows is currently installed in primary type, intalling on logical will not interrupt dual mode!!
[15:38] <Anubis> well, for now i was able to start my linux box
[15:39] <Anubis> i think that the new kernel is not compatible with my firewall
[15:39] <Anubis> :)
[15:40] <Anubis> i guess i will have to install a newer version of the firewall

[15:53] <doomlord_> in my current install ubuntu unity desktop seems quite a bit slower than 'xfwm' with compositing enabled - i still get the transparent terminals and dropshadows in the latter, but it moves windows around smoothly (i'm just talking about moving windows, not features like expo)
[15:54] <doomlord_> any idea if there are any settings i could tweak.. i notice thers' something going on with titlebar text antialiasing a bit different
[15:54] <bazhang> !info unity-tweak-tool | doomlord_
[15:55] <doomlord_> it seems to have some rgb 'noise' particularly on unfocussed windows. Perhaps something is going on like its assuming everything is transparent and compositing where xfwm doesn't
[15:55] <doomlord_> (in the past i've seen opqaue windows have a subtle gradient looking like they have 1% transparency toward the bottom or something)
[15:55] <doomlord_> i'm using ccsm at the minute.. looking for various settings
[15:56] <bazhang> why not try the tool I suggested doomlord_
[15:56] <doomlord_> ok i'll try that
[15:57] <doomlord_> XFWM is perfectly useable, but i do like the new menus in ubuntu
[15:57] <doomlord_> ^in unity i mean

[16:00] <ktk2> How are the resolutions set for tty's 1-6?  I used monitor.conf to set res. and it seems to have only worked for tty 7. Result is signal freq. OOR on 1-6. Do I add entries in monitor.conf?

[16:04] <sporg> I'm in the process of updating from 12.04 to 13.04 on an old laptop with a non-functioning monitor.  The vga cable came loose and now I can't get any picture on the monitor. What should I do?
[16:04] <sporg> external monitor*
[16:04] <doomlord_> ok been through 'unity-tweak-tool' .. interesting but doesn't seem to show anything over and above ccsm
[16:04] <xangua> sporg: why do you wanna update to a no longer supported release¿
[16:04] <jrib> sporg: why are you updating to 13.04 intead of 14.04?
[16:04] <Dat> how can I get the source list for kubuntu 14.10?
[16:04] <sporg> becaue you can't upgrade directly from 12.04 to 13.04
[16:04] <jrib> !14.10 | Dat
[16:04] <xangua> !14.10 | dat
[16:05] <sporg> *to 14.04
[16:05] <jrib> sporg: yes you can
[16:05] <sporg> not what i read
[16:05] <xangua> where
[16:05] <IdleOne> jrib: 12.04-14.04 is technically not supported until release of 14.04.1
[16:05] <doomlord_> i guess i'll stick with XFWM. no great disaster. can't find anything that affects speed
[16:05] <jrib> IdleOne: that's fair
[16:06] <sporg> anyway that doesn't matter
[16:06] <jrib> sporg: why not?
[16:06] <IdleOne> jrib: sporg in the mean time you can edit your sources.list to trusty and then run the upgrade but things could break. backups!
[16:06] <sporg> because the problem is that i'm in the middle of the update process and have no image, not that I'm doing the update process wrong in your opinion
[16:07] <sporg> is there something I can do to get vga output working again? a keyboard shortcut?
[16:07] <sporg> what happens if I power off in the middle of updating?
[16:07] <jrib> sporg: how did you upgrade?
[16:07] <sporg> using software updater
[16:07] <IdleOne> sporg: as far as the monitor not working (or the VGA port being broken) that seems like a hardware issue
[16:08] <sporg> no, the issue is that i knocked the cable loose
[16:08] <OerHeks> sporg, depends on the machine if it has fn key to switch internal/external monitor, not sure it solves youur odd issue
[16:08] <IdleOne> sporg: so plug it back in
[16:08] <sporg> nice one IdleOne
[16:08] <zakaria> Hello , how i can add adobe flash to ubunto ??
[16:09] <jrib> !flash | zakaria
[16:09] <IdleOne> sporg: if you interrupt the upgrade then you can start it over by running the same command you did to start it. You might have to run sudo apt-get -f install
[16:09] <sporg> thank OerHeks turns out I had a key to switch to external monitor
[16:09] <IdleOne> -f will attempt to fix any half installed or broken packages
[16:10] <zakaria> thank you

[16:14] <OerHeks> !uefi | straterra, good as it gets
[16:15] <OerHeks> chutwig, no, why would you want that?
[16:16] <chutwig> because it's stuck on not proceeding past configuring the package manager and i want it to install grub and reboot so i can fix the sources later, because it already installed the base system
[16:16] <chutwig> guess i'll reboot to rescue mode and run grub-install from there

[16:48] <juwper> MasterOfDisaster, sure
[16:48] <quem> s'il te plaït.

[16:51] <MasterOfDisaster> jack: it's normal.
[16:51] <juwper> OerKejs, can you help me with that?
[16:51] <MasterOfDisaster> jack: wine for example pulls a lot of i*86 stuff.
[16:51] <juwper> Oerheks, can you help me with that?
[16:51] <OerHeks> juwper, it is an excellent howto
[16:52] <MasterOfDisaster> jack: apt-cache tells you more about it. see apt-cache dotty for example.
[16:52] <juwper> OerHeks, I am totally newbie to linux
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> juwper  read the howto, so you will be less newbie
[16:53] <juwper> OerHeks, that's not the help i need, i tried almost everything i read, nothing works
[16:54] <erle-> sudo gives me memory leak warnings all the time
[16:54] <juwper> OerHeks, i tried to put nomodeset to grub but i don't know how...tried the live session but doens't let me save the grub file says no permissions
[16:55] <erle-> is it supposed to scare newbies?
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> erle-  it is

[16:58] <erle-> MonkeyDust, since 14.4, sudo does this: http://pastebin.com/xnpgzZ6f
[16:58] <MasterOfDisaster> juwper: please at least try what people suggest, before you keep whining.
[16:59] <erle-> MonkeyDust, doesnt it do it on your machine?
[16:59] <juwper> guys, i really mean it, i have tried everything i could, i am trying to install this for a week now and this is the last chance for me
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> erle-  no, butg i'm not in ubuntu, right now
[17:02] <jack> MasterOfDisaster: yeah i know
[17:02] <jack> but my question was if it's possible to remove those sources
[17:03] <h3r1> hello there... i made a  reinstall of ubuntu on my laptop... i have an encrypted home folder... i used to share the desktop folder via samba without problems. now after the reinstall it says it cannot mount it... any idea how i can fix this?
[17:03] <pakair> jack, you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list

[17:08] <juwper> bazhang, can you help me trying that path?
[17:09] <pakair> jack, the sources.list has repositories which you can remove (or comment putting a # in front). Then an apt-get update will use ONLY those repos in the sources.list
[17:09] <bazhang> juwper, have you read the link? how are you trying to access it? regular system boot/live cd? pastebin the errors you receive

[17:43] <ubuntu-studio> Hi all. Does anyone know if unbuntustudio's kernel is optimized for video editing? I'm currently comparing ubuntustudio 14 xfce and Linux Mint 16 xfce, but see no difference when using openshot or kdenlive with HD-videos.
[17:43] <xeno_> Crashed trying to write to a USB drive just now from Ubuntu.
[17:43] <xeno_> Just got back.
[17:44] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: What do you expect to see then, actually?
[17:44] <xeno_> The utility was taking 100% of cpu from 2 of four last point I was able to see.
[17:44] <loa> ubuntu-studio, it comes with lowlatency kernel
[17:44] <xeno_> It said not enough space, but was also trying to erase the USB drive.
[17:44] <ubuntu-studio> I watched the cpu-amount in top. Expected it to be less in ubuntustudio
[17:44] <bekks> xeno_: And?
[17:44] <loa> so it can be much better to use normal ubuntu with high threwoutput
[17:44] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: Because?
[17:45] <xeno_> It kept slowing down until about 5 minutes ago it froze up and I had to turn off the machine to get access back.
[17:45] <ubuntu-studio> bekks: because of low latency kernel
[17:45] <loa> lol
[17:45] <loa> ubuntu-studio, you know nothing about low latency and for what it used.
[17:46] <ubuntu-studio> loa: that's correct
[17:46] <xeno_> I have standard Ubuntu installed.
[17:46] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: You can easily install a low-latency kernel in Ubuntu.
[17:46] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: Check wether the low latency kernel is in use, actually.
[17:46] <xeno_> 13.10
[17:47] <ubuntu-studio> loa: so there's no benefit for me to install ubuntustudio?
[17:47] <loa> ubuntu-studio, simply it helps to create more responsible system, for example for musicians.
[17:47] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: No, no benefit.
[17:47] <loa> ubuntu-studio, looks like no.
[17:47] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: Unless you are doing real time editing, like musicians, you will have no benefit at all.
[17:48] <loa> i used little ubuntustudio and i like that they installed default software.
[17:48] <ubuntu-studio> bekks: hmm, so low latency has no effect on HD-video?
[17:48] <loa> default for musicians *
[17:48] <loa> ubuntu-studio, it has)
[17:48] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: Correct. No Effect at all.
[17:48] <loa> it slowing things down
[17:48] <bekks> loa: :P
[17:49] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: It lowers latency for the sake of increased context switches for long running aplications - like video editing.
[17:50] <sam__> I can't open local swf file with chromium in ubuntu 14.04 . any fix for that?
[17:51] <ubuntu-studio> bekks: I like the cinnamon-desktop. So is it better for me to use ubuntustudio with cinnamon? Or to use Linux Mint with cinnamon?
[17:51] <red45923> where in the file system is the trash bin located on ubuntu?
[17:51] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: "Better" is a personal choice. Mint isnt supported in here.
[17:51] <bazhang> !trash | red45923
[17:52] <Squarepy> what? support is beside the point
[17:52] <red45923> thanks bazhang
[17:53] <ubuntu-studio> bekks: Ok, but if HD-editing won't be better with ubuntustudio. So usual ubuntu will do the same?
[17:53] <Squarepy> ubuntu-studio, when you are into multi-media, mint if you want a leaner desktop
[17:53] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: Correct.
[17:53] <loa> how i can create multi line notifications?
[17:53] <bekks> Squarepy: You dont need mint for a "leaner" desktop.
[17:54] <loa> it will be cool if there will html support too.
[17:54] <ubuntu-studio> bekks and Squarepy: thank you
[17:54] <loa> for example for ability to play sounds.
[17:54] <loa> want to create notification about provider balance.
[17:55] <trism> loa: notify-send "Subject" "This is line one\nThis is line two\nLine three..."
[17:55] <ubuntu-studio> bekks: cinnamon will work on ubuntu as well I think
[17:55] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: Yes. So no need for anything else but Ubuntu.
[17:55] <OerHeks> loa,  this page may be a help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD
[17:55] <sam__> I can't open local swf file with chromium in ubuntu 14.04 . any fix for that?
[17:55] <OerHeks> ubuntu-studio, cinnamon is out of our repos
[17:55] <ubuntu-studio> OerHeks: why is that?
[17:55] <loa> how i like support here.
[17:56] <bekks> !info cinnamon
[17:56] <bekks> Ah, it vanished in trusty.
[17:56] <OerHeks> ubuntu-studio, as it is removes, glad it is.
[17:56] <OerHeks> *removed
[17:56] <loa> you all are awesome.

[17:57] <ubuntu-studio> ok, then I think I'm gonna go install Mint instead of ubuntu
[17:57] <erle-> why is there lib32 and libx32?
[17:57] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: Good luck then.
[17:58] <ubuntu-studio> bekks: you don't like?
[17:58] <kat_> hi, is anybody on today?
[17:58] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: It isnt supported in here.
[17:59] <ubuntu-studio> bekks: ok, I'll sleep a night over this decision
[17:59] <bekks> ubuntu-studio: decision: support vs. desktop.
[17:59] <kat_> guys, I just downloaded Minecraft. On other distros, I had to have javajdk6 or 7. But I can't find it in the synaptic package. What should I do?
[17:59] <bekks> kat_: JDK6 is EOL basically.
[17:59] <kat_> I mean, to open minecraft, you have to open it with java
[17:59] <bekks> !java | kat_
[18:00] <kat_> o.k. I'm writing this downl.
[18:00] <OerHeks> if other distros provide java6/7, i wonder about legal stuff
[18:03] <kat_> awesome   thanks!
[18:04] <xeno_> Trying again.
[18:04] <xeno_> org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[18:04] <xeno_> I just initialized this usb memory on my windows system.
[18:05] <bekks> xeno_: And thath message is caused by what when doing what?
[18:05] <xeno_> I don't care about anything that is on it.
[18:05] <xeno_> By using the "Make startup disk" utility on a usb drive.
[18:06] <xeno_> I am configured to read a Ubuntu server iso and write to the drive.
[18:06] <xeno_> Last time I tried this, and continued, it froze up my system.
[18:06] <xeno_> Right now it says erasing, but it seems to be doing nothing.
[18:07] <bekks> !usb | xeno_
[18:07] <xeno_> According to top this tool is already using up 99% on each of two cpus.
[18:07] <bekks> xeno_: And "wa" (2nd row) is pretty high, is it?
[18:07] <xeno_> I think I am already following those instructions.
[18:08] <zetheroo> which photo editor has the best array of photo effects?
[18:08] <bekks> zetheroo: "best" is a personal choice. Try out photo editors and choose the one that fits your needs.
[18:08] <xeno_> 0.1 wa
[18:08] <bekks> xeno_: Then check which application is causing the CPU usage.
[18:09] <xeno_> udisks-helper
[18:09] <zetheroo> bekks: in that case ... which photo editor has the largest array of photo effects?
[18:09] <xeno_> udisks-daemon
[18:09] <xeno_> Both of those are using 100%, or near it at all times.
[18:10] <rp123> any sed experts in here?
[18:10] <xeno_> This is from the top of top
[18:10] <xeno_> I am a sed expert,  but I may lose my connection any minute...
[18:13] <walent11> hi,
[18:13] <rp123> haha xeno
[18:13] <xeno__> Back again after 2nd freezeup from boot disk making tool.
[18:13] <bekks> zetheroo: Just choose the editor that fits your needs, the number of effects is pretty irreleavnt.
[18:13] <rp123> :)
[18:14] <rp123> good timining
[18:14] <walent11> i'm installing ubuntu on external hdd, but i get grub error rescue.... I'm at installation now, can you tell me what partitions to make, + i need a NTFS one for windows transfer
[18:14] <xeno__> rp123 I missed anything you might have said in the meantime of course.
[18:14] <rp123> i am trying to do an extract from an xml file (i know, puke) and its across multipel lines
[18:14] <rp123> its alright, i didn't say anything anyway
[18:15] <bazhang> zetheroo, try imagemagick
[18:15] <xeno__> Okay, that is complex enough you are better off, if possible using something like Ruby with one of its' xml parser gems.
[18:15] <darkseid> Greetings...
[18:15] <xeno__> Ruby is more accessible in many ways than Bash and Sed.
[18:15] <rp123> http://pastebin.com/WhegZCCg
[18:15] <rp123> i want to extract the version in <string> tag
[18:16] <zetheroo> bekks: I take it you just don't know which photo editor has the largest array of photo effect ... A simple "I don't know" would have sufficed  :P
[18:16] <rp123> the problme is there are other <string> tags as well so i am not sure how to go about it
[18:16] <bekks> zetheroo: I take that as "I have no clue what I really want". Good luck.
[18:16] <rp123> i would have ideally used xmlselect for this
[18:17] <rp123> but i am writing a grunt task, and want to just use somethingt hat is installed by default

[18:17] <rp123> agreed, i wouldn't if i had an option :)
[18:17] <rp123> ok i am going to re-write bits of it without it
[18:17] <Paradisee_> i get this error: http://postimg.org/image/z6igt4ls9

[18:18] <Paradisee_> trying to install ubuntu
[18:18] <qwd> How do I install biblatex on Ubuntu 14.04?
[18:18] <bazhang> zetheroo, you need to learn how to use it then, it's very powerful
[18:18] <bekks> !info biblatex
[18:18] <zetheroo> bekks: There was clue in my question ... it was something like a "photo editor has the largest array of photo effects" ... ;)

[18:19] <bekks> zetheroo: And you still dont know what you really want. I am resting your case.
[18:19] <darkseid> I'd like to know, how can I change the proprietary of all paths of my home directory. I had one problem and the only choice was move everything from one user to another under root. I tried 'chown root:darky /darky" but, didn't worked.
[18:20] <zetheroo> bazhang: hmm ... ok ... I am looking for something with preset photo effects .. similar to what Google Photos has
[18:20] <pakair> qwd, install package texlive
[18:20] <lucidau> hi, I#m installing 14.04 amd64 from a minimal iso, I have internet connectivity but install fails with debootstrap error failed getting release signature file. I tried several mirrors they all fail the same way, what do?
[18:20] <xeno__> echo '<string>1.3.2</string>' | sed 's:<string>\([^<]*\)</string>:\1:'
[18:20] <xeno__> rp123
[18:21] <xeno__> That is a start.
[18:21] <xeno__> You can pipe a grep to that.
[18:21] <xeno__> The idea of the regular expression is take the string until you find a <
[18:21] <zetheroo> bekks: uhm ... your kidding right!? How does "a "photo editor has the largest array of photo effects"" not tell you what I am looking for!? :D
[18:21] <bekks> zetheroo: I am not kidding. I am resting your case.
[18:21] <darkseid> I'd like to know, how can I change the proprietary of all paths of my home directory. I had one problem and the only choice was move everything from one user to another under root. I tried 'chown root:darky /darky" but, didn't worked.
[18:21] <xeno__> The \1 holds what is in \(.*\)
[18:22] <xeno__> rp123:  Does that help?
[18:22] <xeno__> The whole thing might be grep '<string>' | same thing as I said above.
[18:22] <darkseid> c'mon.....
[18:23] <xeonid> darkseid: sudo chmod 777 /root && sudo chown user.user /root
[18:23] <xeno__> Perhaps this is off topic though.
[18:23] <bekks> xeno__: that will mess up permissions of /root
[18:23] <xeonid> darkseid:  and edit /etc/passwd and change your homepath
[18:23] <darkseid> xeno__: Ok, what means 777 ?
[18:23] <awktion> !permissions
[18:23] <walent11> quick question.... install boot loader on dev/sdc or dev/sdc5
[18:23] <xeno__> What?
[18:24] <xeonid> darkseid: man chmod
[18:24] <awktion> darkseid: take a look at that link
[18:24] <xeno__> bekks? Are you cross topic confused?
[18:24] <zetheroo> bekks: forget it man - next time just say "I don't know what your looking for" or better yet don't say anything at all if you don't know the answer to the question ... its nerve-wrecking to have people lecturing you on a word you used in a question (like "best") and then not know anyhow anything about your question!
[18:24] <bekks> xeno__: No.
[18:24] <awktion> '18:23:07' < xeonid> darkseid: sudo chmod 777 /root && sudo chown user.user /root
[18:24] <rp123> xeno__ the problem is i can't access \1
[18:24] <awktion> this means:
[18:24] <bekks> zetheroo: Ignore set. Not even reading your last post.
[18:24] <xeno__> Sorry, how can a solution for rp123 problem affect permissions.
[18:24] <awktion> set read/write/executable for the user that owns it, its group, and all other users on the system
[18:24] <zetheroo> Ha! touchy thing ay ...
[18:25] <awktion> then, it sets root to be owned by user/group user
[18:25] <awktion> which is usually drwx------ 11 root root 4.0K May 11 02:00 root
[18:25] <awktion> so hopefully there's a really good reason for this...
[18:26] <xeno__> rp123:  There is a context problem here.
[18:27] <xeno__> Sed in it's proper context of use will do what I said, on bash on Ubuntu.
[18:27] <xeno__> rp123:  Are you doing this on bash on ubuntu?
[18:27] <pakair> awktion, actually 777 will set perms as -rwxrwxrwx
[18:28] <lblume> and 777 is quite always a bad idea.
[18:28] <awktion> that's what i said pakair
[18:28] <awktion> user|group|all
[18:28] <awktion> 7|7|7
[18:28] <lucidau> how can I select the fastest mirror from the command line?
[18:28] <awktion> 4+2+1|4+2+1|4+2+1
[18:29] <xeno__> Okay, please back to my woeful case...
[18:29] <chomwitt> during an  upgrade from 13.10->14.04 terminal became black. i no longer have progress feedback

[18:29] <darkseid> xeonid, awktion: Fine, thanks.... Worked now and I see where was wrong..
[18:29] <awktion> ^^;
[18:29] <awktion> does that make sense pakair ?
[18:30] <awktion> when you look @ the letters you should be able to translate to #'s and back and forth
[18:30] <awktion> !setuid
[18:30] <pakair> awktion, yes ... earlier someone posted drwx------ which did not match 777
[18:31] <xeonid> Paradisee_: by installing correct driver to your gfx chipset ?
[18:31] <Paradisee_> im just tring to install ubuntu, and i get that error
[18:31] <qwd> pakair: thanks, guess I already had it!
[18:32] <pakair> qwd, good
[18:32] <Paradisee_> cant even modify nothing, cus the menu doesnt work properly
[18:32] <darkseid> xeonid, awktion: Actually, now it is worse.. I'm downloading things and that's the message: FAILED: INSUFFICIENT PERMISSION
[18:32] <Paradisee_> im just able to type on the terminal, that's it
[18:32] <darkseid> xeonid, awktion: Instead root, should it be sudo?
[18:32] <sam__> Guys I'm having problem with ubuntu 14.04. I can't open local swf files with any browswer. somone told me to install gnash I did but its a useless software
[18:32] <xeonid> darkseid: ls -lart /path/to/download/dir
[18:33] <sam__> any better idea??
[18:33] <xeonid> put it on pastebin.com
[18:33] <awktion> pakair: i posted that, its NOT 777. it's what a root directory defaults to - only readable by root
[18:33] <awktion> there's one more line in the permissions, that's for attributes
[18:34] <pakair> awktion, ok got it
[18:34] <awktion> setuid/setgid/sticky
[18:34] <darkseid_> I lost the connection...
[18:34] <darkseid_> sudo didn't worked too..
[18:34] <Yatiro> hallo
[18:35] <overlayer> sam__, you call gnash useless and still expect help from the community?
[18:35] <awktion> and don't forget immutable
[18:35] <Yatiro> jemand deutsches heir der mir an meinem kleinen ubuntu problem mit phpmyadmin weiter helfen kann?

[18:35] <sam__> overlayer: well I tried it and it didn't open my swf file. I can send it to you. you can try to open with gnash or tell me how to do it
[18:35] <awktion> !german|xenoid
[18:35] <Yatiro> ich weiss nciht weiter snif
[18:36] <sam__> overlayer: first of all it doesn't open in browser
[18:36] <xeonid> i'm not german
[18:36] <sam__> overlayer:  so my cookies won't be there when I open with gnash
[18:36] <darkseid_> xeonid: How can I undo that command?

[18:38] <Yatiro> -pakair test
[18:38] <pakair> Yatiro, I'm here
[18:39] <xeonid> darkseid_: i think that you should at first read something about bash chmod chown path and configuration files  than start play with linux
[18:40] <Yatiro> pakair u read me?
[18:40] <pakair> Yatiro, yes
[18:40] <Yatiro> ok ten i continue
[18:42] <darkseid_> xeonid: I'll explain: I moved all files from an user to another using 'sudo su' mv'. Now, I cant manage those files, cause apparently the user 'darky' isn't the owner. I just want to change it. I want 'darky' as the owner. Darky is in sudo group..
[18:43] <Yatiro> ist query pm?
[18:44] <xeonid> darkseid_: you can't manage that files because you don't have any permissions to /root so login as root $: su and move these files somewhere else
[18:45] <pakair> Yatiro, nur Englisch hier (only English here)
[18:46] <darkseid_> xeonid: yes, root is the owner. I moved everything from the old user directory: desktop, pictures, downloads, musics, all the /home directory...
[18:46] <Yatiro> pakai thanks for all but i leave cause i to stupid
[18:46] <Paradisee_> can someone help me?
[18:48] <awktion> darkseid_: here's what I would do:
[18:48] <awktion> i
[18:49] <awktion> i'd make the new user, then look at the files created.
[18:49] <awktion> a few have special permissions other than normal
[18:49] <awktion> in general a tar preserving permissions would do it, then after the user is recreated, mv that dir to user.bak, and untar the old one, rerunning chmod user:user to ensure the new uid/gid get transferred

[18:52] <awktion> oh yeah
[18:52] <awktion> 2s sam__ you're in luck ;)
[18:52] <awktion> (i think)
[18:53] <darkseid_> awktion: Looks like the unique solution..
[18:53] <sam__> awktion: :) good. you know how I can fix this??
[18:55] <awktion> hm
[18:55] <awktion> i'm thinking a user run httpd daemon accessable only from localhost

[18:57] <Beldar> Guest47615, is it showing as unallocated?
[18:57] <DrGrov> Good evening to everyone
[18:58] <Beldar> !uefi | Guest47615
[18:58] <Guest47615> i don't rremember exact words. maybe.
[18:58] <awktion> alternatively, this looks doable http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2219391&p=13002067#post13002067
[18:58] <DrGrov> I have gotten a hold of a server running Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit server and would love to get some X support on it so I can access a GUI from home to there. Running myself 13.10 64-bit. Just installed Fluxbox on that server.
[18:59] <awktion> DrGrov: you need the desktop kernel + ubuntu-desktop
[18:59] <Beldar> Guest47615, Please use an unusual nick so we can tab complete it when answering you, and use nicks when conversing.
[18:59] <awktion> the rest should be pulled in
[18:59] <Guest47615> thanks. will browse the link. brb.
[18:59] <bekks> On 14.04, there is no desktop/server kernel anymore. There is a generic kernel.
[18:59] <DrGrov> Ok :)
[19:00] <DrGrov> The reason I chose to get Fluxbox for that server is because it has a limited RAM of 512MB.
[19:00] <bekks> DrGrov: you should not run any desktop on a server :)
[19:00] <DrGrov> bekks: But I want to :)
[19:00] <bekks> DrGrov: Then get more RAM :)
[19:00] <DrGrov> Luckily this is just a test server on which I have a 7 days trial before deciding if I want it or not
[19:01] <DrGrov> bekks: But surely I can get fluxbox to run with 512MB?
[19:01] <bekks> DrGrov: The desktop environment isnt the problem. the graphical applications you want to run are.
[19:02] <DrGrov> bekks: Ok, so I can skip the fluxbox or any other GUI as an idea completely or just get more RAM?
[19:02] <DrGrov> But I really do not want to run anything heavy on there.
[19:02] <uskerine> hi, in /etc/networks/interfaces, which is the exact syntax to specify TWO dns nameservers?
[19:02] <bekks> DrGrov: Just skip the idea of a GUI on a server.
[19:02] <uskerine> dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS>,<IP_ADDRESS> ?????
[19:02] <DrGrov> Just a simple yet effective web browser with text, a bit of text editing and such
[19:02] <pakair> DrGrov, you could install vnc on that server
[19:02] <bekks> uskerine: without the ,
[19:02] <uskerine> dns-nameservers <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:02] <uskerine> ?
[19:03] <bekks> uskerine: yes.
[19:03] <DrGrov> pakair: That being plain vnc or vnc-followed-by-something?
[19:03] <pakair> uskerine, that's google DNS
[19:03] <DrGrov> bekks: So, I can not get anything done without more RAM then it seems? :(
[19:03] <uskerine> i know, i use one of them as backup
[19:03] <uskerine> thanks
[19:03] <pakair> DrGrov, search for the vnc package how it is used. I dont remember the latest version.
[19:03] <bekks> DrGrov: Correct.
[19:04] <DrGrov> pakair: Ok, I just install everything I find then :)
[19:05] <xeno_> So guys, the https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/458334 post in the usb install article got me past my problem.
[19:05] <xeno_> Thank you.
[19:05] <xeno_> Nevertheless, one should hope that bug will be fixed soon.
[19:05] <xeno_> What a drag.
[19:05] <pakair> DrGrov, try apt-cache search vnc ... there are plenty, choose one you like
[19:05] <Devrim> Why would you use Google DNS :3
[19:05] <Devrim> Maybe they log the addresses
[19:05] <Devrim> and they are gonna threathen you with it
[19:05] <Devrim> >:)
[19:07] <DrGrov> Now I found something
[19:07] <DrGrov> RDP
[19:09] <semitones> hi :) is there a guide for fixing screen resolution problems? (googles some more also)
[19:09] <DrGrov> xrdp - Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server. That could do the trick perhaps?
[19:09] <jgcampbell300> so i have a windows 7 computer up and running ... I have a hard drive with ubuntu install from a diffrent computer ... I have put the ubuntu hard drive in with the computer running win7 ... i would like to dual boot it .. but im not sure the safest way to do this ... should i change the sata cables makeing the ubuntu hard drive the first bootable then update grub to include the windows drive or do it some other way ?
[19:09] <Beldar> Guest47615, More uefi install info, be sure that is what you have.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295
[19:09] <semitones> I'm mostly finding out of date info on google / duck duck go
[19:10] <xeonid> semitones:  ok , have u installed drivers for yout gpu ?
[19:10] <Beldar> jgcampbell300, Having the HD with ubuntu first red in the bios and a update-grub once in.
[19:10] <Beldar> read*
[19:10] <semitones> xeonid, I had binary drivers that worked fine, but had an ugly boot screen, and switched to nouveau. Now I have a pretty boot screen, but nouveau doesn't detect my display
[19:10] <jgcampbell300> Beldar, ok thanks
[19:11] <sam__> http://askubuntu.com/questions/464481/swf-for-ubuntu-14-04                        Please answer to my questioin about swf files in 14.04
[19:11] <Beldar> jgcampbell300, No problem, I'm not up on how HD's are attached is all, all mine are just laptops that plugin HD.
[19:11] <semitones> should I report a bug in nouveau?
[19:11] <xeonid> semitones:  what is your display resolution ?
[19:11] <jgcampbell300> Beldar, one more thing ... can you move ubuntu build between diffrent builds of computers ... like moveing from dell o755 to something compleatly diffrent like hp something like 5700
[19:12] <Guest47615> Beldar | yeah, i cannot boot from cd/dvd or usb when it's set to uefi.
[19:12] <Beldar> jgcampbell300, We will see huh, probably will not be a problem, other than graphic drivers maybe.
[19:12] <semitones> xeonid, it should be 1440x900, but now it is 640x480
[19:12] <jgcampbell300> cool thanks much im out to test ... thanks again
[19:13] <Guest47615> be right back.
[19:13] <xeonid> semitones: http://askubuntu.com/questions/189246/how-set-my-monitor-resolution
[19:13] <Beldar> Guest47615, So the general consensus is to resize windows in windows with it's partitioner leaving a unallocated for ubuntu. Also imaging/cloning W8 off the HD to be fully prepared for anything.
[19:14] <semitones> xeonid, thanks! I found something similar to this, but with no explanantion -- this one is explaining better, so I'll try it and see how it goes
[19:14] <DrGrov> Argh, I give up
[19:15] <DrGrov> bekks: You were right, as always. It is too tedious to fiddle around with trying  to get a GUI on this server :)
[19:15] <bekks> DrGrov: ;)
[19:16] <DrGrov> bekks: But I will be back later and check up and see what is going on. I will now completely restart the whole server. It is already a mess :)

[19:20] <ridethespiral> Is swap really necessary with 4gb ram?
[19:21] <OerHeks> no, unless you want advanced functions as sleep/hybernate, one of those 2 need a swap to save memory
[19:21] <vlad_starkov> Question: Could someone recommend me good DNS hosting?
[19:22] <OerHeks> vlad_starkov, that is outside the scope of this ubuntu support channel
[19:22] <hid> ridethespiral 1 Gb max
[19:23] <vlad_starkov> OerHeks: Ok I apologies
[19:23] <bekks> ridethespiral: if you want to use hibernation, you need as much swap as RAM.
[19:23] <ridethespiral> Thanks, I'll include swap then

[19:25] <Beldar> _spm_Draget, The mini installs the base, you do the rest.
[19:25] <theadmin> _spm_Draget: No, the installer is command-line, but it's pretty simple
[19:25] <_spm_Draget> Ah okay, thanks. I'll try.
[19:28] <Flannel> _spm_Draget: the mini CD is the same installer as the alternate CD, it just doesn't include any packages on the CD itself

[19:30] <tomodachi> hi , i have a script i want to launch from a  laucher icon , but it fails
[19:30] <tomodachi> i think its because the script needs to be run from the folder that its in

[19:30] <tomodachi> can i add some path or something to myapplication.desktop icons?
[19:31] <Beldar> Paradisee_, I'm not sure I can explain any better. A picture means nothing without some background leading to it.

[19:41] <Beldar> AndChat169904, Describe the release and problem to the channel.
[19:42] <ezakimak> anyone know how to make X see/find/load s3virge driver?
[19:44] <semitones> Hi! I used system settings to switch to the nouveau driver, and while it says I'm using nouveau now, It actually left some blacklists in modprobe.d, and I'm really using VESA. Is that a bug I can report somewhere?
[19:44] <ezakimak> X -configure generates sig11
[19:46] <ridethespiral> I just got 14.04 installed and disabled my fried discreet gpu using an acpi_call module (which I compile for each new kernel, blah) but I'm getting an error on start-up that I never did with 12.04. See picture  http://tinyurl.com/mwdsch6
[19:47] <ridethespiral> Oh wait I think I fixed that before by installing the drivers for the radeon. let me try that
[19:49] <Beldar> ridethespiral, You need a nick ridethe-edge
[19:50] <xeno_> Anybody out there able to tell me the command in parted to see the range of sectors?

[19:50] <IkilledUBUNTU>  so i just killed my pc somehow. i dont even know what i did since i am noob. can i  ask some questions here?

[19:54] <IkilledUBUNTU> so i have 12.04 with gnome. Everything was fine. I installed today a VNC program so i can connect to a remote desktop. Everything cool. Then after reboot i couldnt login except as guest.  After  some searching i played with gdm  and i  manage to log in in Unity. Then by trying to fix gnome i somehow killed it. i purge it in order to reinstall it only to see i cant cause my source.list has problems. Anyway i was wondering, can
[19:54] <AndChat169904> Belar all ubuntu based distroes 14.04, i have 4 gb of ram
[19:54] <Guest98342> hello
[19:55] <zmi> hi guys i have problem ith network
[19:55] <Beldar> AndChat169904, Have you run top or htop to see if you are just swapping, due to a app using the ram, or just to much running?
[19:56] <semitones> what's the name of the "system settings" application?
[19:56] <AndChat169904> Belar it did not happen when i use an application in particular
[19:57] <Beldar> AndChat169904, Do you understand my refrence to swapping, and using top or htop?
[19:57] <Beldar> reference*
[19:58] <AndChat169904> Belar, Yes but I think i have enougth ram
[19:58] <Beldar> AndChat169904, Sure 4 gigs is enough, however this is a basic check, and a fair consideration, lets not get bogged down by an easy check.
[19:59] <angels> hi guys i cant connection to internet no wifi no cable no nothing
[19:59] <bekks> angels: you are connected to the internet currently.
[19:59] <h1r3> i have created a samba share, given all permissions needes and still i cannot access it from a remote computer... the machine is recognized, even the shared folder... however i am not able to access it... the reason: "The specified location is not mounted"... can somebody help me?
[20:00] <Beldar> AndChat169904, I have a conky on the de to watch this stuff myself, and have the swappiness set rather low.
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> angels: what wifi chip are you using?
[20:00] <angels> no i use other OS but since ubuntu i cant do it
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> !away > vifino|away
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> angels: doesnt answer my question....
[20:00] <ezakimak> E: Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-video-s3virge
[20:00] <AndChat169904> Bwlar thank you i'll try
[20:00] <ezakimak> where can I find it?
[20:00] <angels> i dont know what i use
[20:01] <angels> im new in ubuntu
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> angels: sudo lshw -C network ,will tell you
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> !find s3
[20:01] <vifino> ActionParsnip: what?
[20:01] <coolstar> how can I install Ubuntu 14.04?
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> !find s3virge
[20:01] <coolstar> I'm currently on Ubuntu 13.04
[20:02] <ezakimak> okay, so how do I get the driver for it?
[20:02] <M0DCM-Dave> Coolstar either a bootable USB or DVD
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> coolstar: you will need to upgrade to 13.10 then to 14.04
[20:02] <coolstar> M0DCM-Dave: I don't want to lose my data though :(
[20:02] <angels> but then i have to off this os , in this computer i have two OS ubunt and debian
[20:02] <Beldar> !eol | coolstar look for upgrade info
[20:02] <coolstar> ActionParsnip: how do I do that?
[20:02] <M0DCM-Dave> or there
[20:02] <M0DCM-Dave> is that way :-)
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> coolstar: or a clean install of 14.04 you can then use data backups to restore your user data
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> vifino: when you afk, just go. You dont need to change your nick.
[20:03] <vifino> ActionParsnip: Its default for my client.
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> vifino: can you please disable it
[20:03] <vifino> And Many people want me to.
[20:03] <vifino> ...
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> vifino: it spams the channel. Why do you think that factoid exists....
[20:04] <Beldar> angels, YOU have no wifi or ethernet, is this correct?
[20:05] <angels> yes correct but when i use ubuntu i have debian and ubuntu here
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> angels: run the command I gave, it will tell us the wifi chip.
[20:05] <ezakimak> how can I install the s3virge in trusty?
[20:05] <coolstar> oh wow software update just offered me to update to 13.10
[20:05] <coolstar> alright, let's see if that works
[20:06] <Beldar> angels, use nicks here when answering, do you know the ethernet and wifi hardware? It will show if you run 'lspci' in the terminal in ubuntu.
[20:06] <angels> Hardware Lister (lshw) - B.02.16
[20:06] <angels> usage: lshw [-format] [-options ...]
[20:06] <angels>        lshw -version
[20:06] <angels> 	-version        print program version (B.02.16)
[20:06] <angels> format can be
[20:06] <angels> 	-html           output hardware tree as HTML
[20:06] <unopaste> angels 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
[20:07] <Beldar> angels, pastebin the info from running lspci
[20:07] <Aeterne> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Change_the_Default_Session  Excuse me, but is this the method I should use if I want to set i3wm as window manager?
[20:08] <Armag3dd0n1> is there a way to reset all ubuntu apps and settings?
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xserver-xorg-video-s3
[20:08] <Beldar> Armag3dd0n1, not in one fell swoop.
[20:08] <Armag3dd0n1> swoop?
[20:08] <Armag3dd0n1> so basically need a resinstall?
[20:08] <Beldar> Armag3dd0n1, act, incident, one command
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> Armag3dd0n1: you can delete all hidden files and folders in home
[20:09] <Beldar> heh except that one
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Armag3dd0n1: then log in, you will get default settings for apps
[20:09] <ezakimak> ActionParsnip, what is that telling me?
[20:09] <Armag3dd0n1> really?
[20:09] <daftykins> you could just create a new user
[20:09] <Armag3dd0n1> what about the start, will everything be there?
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> angels: what did you run to make that output?
[20:09] <angels> can you speak spanish
[20:09] <daftykins> angels: not in here no
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: gives packages you can install. I believe the s3 driver is installed by default
[20:10] <ezakimak> all I know is that xserver-org-video-s3 doesn't support the card, the package my card needs is xserver-xorg-video-s3virge
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> angels: try #ubuntu-es
[20:10] <ezakimak> that's according to apt-cache show output
[20:10] <daftykins> ezakimak: clearly you're joking, such an old card is a waste of time and effort
[20:11] <trism> Aeterne: you shouldn't need to do that, if you are using unity-greeter just click the ubuntu icon next to your name and select a different session, it will remember
[20:11] <ezakimak> well, i'm on the phone w/my dad, he's installing this machine, I"m logged in remotely trying to get his X working for him, and that's the card he put ini t
[20:11] <daftykins> the S3 Virge had 2MB RAM and didn't support higher than 800x600 in colour
[20:11] <Aeterne> Thank you, trism. I will try that!
[20:11] <ezakimak> the card he has does
[20:11] <daftykins> ezakimak: ubuntu is not going to work on that old hardware. perhaps you have the model wrong
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/xserver-xorg-video-s3
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: the s3 package runs s3virge too
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: if you run: sudo lshw -C display ,what driver module is loaded?
[20:13] <ezakimak> then why does apt-cache show say it doesn't?
[20:13] <ezakimak> and there is no s3virge module installed, only s3
[20:13] <ezakimak> X tries to find s3virge module and fails
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: what driver module is loaded for the display?
[20:14] <Aeterne> Oh god, Ubuntu makes it *this* effortless? That's so cool, and I say that as an Arch user. :P
[20:14] <ezakimak> when he tried it, it was in vga mode--1024x768
[20:15] <ezakimak> the X log shows it looking for s3virge and failing
[20:16] <pac1> In Ubuntu 14.04, when I set the microphone to use Rear Microphone Built in Audio, and close the dialog, when I return, the audio is reset to Digital input s/Pdif.  Is there a way to make the mirophone stay set correctly?
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> Aeterne: Arch is dead easy to install and use.
[20:17] <Beldar> It's linux, only slight differences in the end
[20:17] <ezakimak> it's got i915 loaded
[20:18] <Beldar> err the kernel is anyway
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: isnt that for Intel GPUs?
[20:18] <ezakimak> but the builtin intel video doesn't work anymore, thus he put in the discrete card
[20:22] <skinux> Is there a way to search filesystem for all files of certain type (e.g. shell, executable)?
[20:22] <ezakimak> so is there any way to get the s3virge driver installed?
[20:22] <ezakimak> skinux, find
[20:22] <skinux> AFAIK that only searches for specific text within files
[20:22] <ezakimak> no, it does not.
[20:23] <drfoo> anyone know how I can connect to remote desktop from osx to ubuntu 14 -- ?
[20:23] <skinux> Can you give me an example for searching for all shell files?
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Skinux: sudo updatedb; locate searchword
[20:25] <ezakimak> find / -iname '*.sh'
[20:25] <Ademan> skinux: find -name '*.sh'
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> Drfoo: what are you wanting to do in Ubuntu using remote desktop? There may be a sleeker solution
[20:25] <Ademan> er, mine is only under the current directory, ezakimak is right to search the whole computer
[20:25] <Ademan> also it's worth mentioning .sh isn't the only shell extension...
[20:25] <Armadillos> skinux: Another way to do it is find / | grep ".sh"
[20:26] <skinux> Ademan: Yes, that's simple. I mean for shell files that do not have .sh extension
[20:26] <Ademan> skinux: grep the first line for the shebang you want?
[20:26] <trism> drfoo: you are probably hitting bug 1281250
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Ademan: or use the file command on each file to find them
[20:27] <Ademan> ActionParsnip: that's a far better idea, good point
[20:27] <ezakimak> or find / -executable
[20:28] <Ademan> ezakimak: that'll give you false positives of binary executables won't it?
[20:28] <Ademan> might be a good optimization though
[20:28] <ezakimak> depends what you are looking for
[20:28] <bekks> ezakimak: Which will find a) all executables, not just bash scripts and b) not all scripts are executable
[20:28] <ezakimak> find / -executable -a -iname '*.sh'
[20:28] <ezakimak> find / -executable -o -iname '*.sh'
[20:29] <bekks> ezakimak: using .sh as file extension for scripts is a bad habit.
[20:29] <Ademan> skinux: what are you trying to do exactly?
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: in Linux the file extension is moot. Shell scripts dont have to have an extension
[20:29] <ezakimak> i know that.
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: so why look for *.sh when it could miss files which are shell scripts without the extension
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> ezakimak: it makes no sense
[20:30] <ezakimak> you could try something like find / -exec 'head -n 1 {}\;' | grep '#/bin/bash'
[20:30] <Ademan> it's worth mentioning that `file $f` reports different things depending on if it's shebang line names /bin/bash or /bin/sh
[20:30] <ezakimak> file may be the better test
[20:30] <bekks> find, exec, head, grep - you will win the competition for one of the slowest solutions :)
[20:30] <ezakimak> find / -exec 'find {}\;' | grep -i 'script'
[20:31] <Ademan> hrm, it reports the same mime type with --mime-type though
[20:31] <ezakimak> or 'ascii text'
[20:31] <xeno_> It would be so good if programmers could fix these things where you spend 99% of your time on the point in your install where it says 99% done.
[20:31] <xeonid> ezakimak: open every file read first line and check if #!/bin/sh
[20:31] <Ademan> text/x-shellscript for both /bin/bash and /bin/sh
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> bekks: shouldnt be too slow on even old ish hardware
[20:31] <xeonid> but it take more cpu time
[20:31] <ezakimak> anywhoo, does anyone know how to install s3virge driver on trusty?
[20:31] <_spm_Draget> Which is the default grub package for 14.04? 'grub' or 'grub2'?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> xeonid: in an age of quad core, im sure we have a few spare cycles
[20:32] <bekks> _spm_Draget: grub2
[20:32] <_spm_Draget> And the netinstaller was what I was looking for - with the expert commandline mode.
[20:32] <_spm_Draget> Thanks
[20:32] <xeno_> The present program in question being Startup disk creator.
[20:32] <Ademan> ActionParsnip: I dunno, I think it's likely I/O bound not CPU bound, reading a lot from disk
[20:32] <xeonid> ActionParsnip: but you must open every existing file
[20:32] <xeonid> ActionParsnip: you cen only exclude the kernel images /boot  and vmlinuz
[20:32] <xeonid> can*
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> xeonid: true but if you want accurate result you gotta take the hit
[20:32] <Ademan> anyone in here used ftrace before?
[20:34] <xeonid> ActionParsnip: the better way is to keep all your shell scripts in one directory
[20:34] <ezakimak> how do I install a package from lucid in trusty?
[20:34] <Ademan> xeonid: well we actually have nfi what skinux is actually trying to accomplish...
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> xeonid: indeed. Hindsight is a wonderful thing
[20:35] <bekks> ezakimak: you dont. It might break your system.
[20:35] <ezakimak> okay, so back to my original question. how do  Iget s3virge driver in trusty?
[20:35] <Ademan> ezakimak: xorg-edgers maybe?
[20:36] <skinux> What I want to be able to do is simply detect the type of files (which don't have extensions) without trying to open each in a text editor.
[20:36] <ezakimak> ok, willing to try, how do I do that?
[20:36] <Ademan> skinux: the "file" command almost certainly does what you want
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> skinux: file will do that
[20:37] <xeonid> skinux: so try to write a script which exclude binary files , and only open every file without extension  and check for first line
[20:37] <Ademan> skinux: I ran "file bar" and it outputs this: bar: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> skinux: eg. file ~/.bashrc
[20:37] <Ademan> where bar is indeed a bash script that I wrote
[20:39] <bekks> ezakimak: Looks like your hardware is discontinued. Even xorg-edgers do not provide drivers anymore: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package_metas?exact_match=1&q=xserver-xorg-video-s3virge
[20:39] <skinux> Thanks. File command does fine, especially combined with grep
[20:39] <ezakimak> bekks, so no support for s3virge in trusty at all?
[20:40] <bekks> ezakimak: Exactly.
[20:40] <ezakimak> bummer
[20:40] <Ademan> ezakimak: if you're very brave you might try building it yourself, surely the code is around
[20:40] <Ademan> not sure if you need a kernel module AND xorg module, probably do
[20:40] <bekks> ezakimak: that hardware is more than a decade old - and it was low end even when it was current.
[20:42] <red45923> Hi all, on ubuntu, got 50 images in a folder, if there is a nice tool to quickly put them all into an index.html file I would be very :)
[20:42] <ezakimak> okay, that's the kind of answer I needed, thanks
[20:43] <xeonid> red45923: PHP :>
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> red45923: ls *.jpg > ./filelist.txt
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> red45923: for example
[20:44] <red45923> will try ActionParsnip suggestion first
[20:44] <Wu117> I am trying to teach myself a little bit about networking and I have a question to "ports". What if I wanted to forward a port within a machine? I always read about ssh forwarding with 2 machines, but how could I make that all port y traffic on a server e.g. will be handled by a service that listens on port x?
[20:44] <Ademan> red45923: are you looking to have previews? or just a list?
[20:45] <xeonid> red45923: you want only to put filenames or img
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Wu117: you'd need a different port for each system on the router.
[20:45] <red45923> i want to stick em in an html page, preferably not manually, img src="pic.jpg' etc
[20:46] <xeonid> i think that one or two loops  will do this
[20:46] <Ademan> red45923: so you want people to see the images?
[20:46] <Ademan> in the html file?
[20:46] <red45923> yes
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Wu117: if your router will only forward to the same port number on the internal system, you can change the SSH port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[20:46] <Ademan> red45923: I'd google "static image gallery generator"
[20:46] <c00lbard> Wu117: You want to forward from one port to another on local machine?
[20:47] <Ademan> red45923: one of the top google results for that was "igal2" which is in the repositories, you might try that out
[20:47] <Wu117> c00lbard: I want to forward incomming traffic on port 12345 to a service that listens on port 54321 on the same machine.
[20:47] <Ademan> red45923: http://igal.trexler.at/igal2-sample/ this is a sample of what it can create apparently
[20:48] <Ademan> so has anyone used ftrace?
[20:48] <red45923> thanks, gonna try ActionParsnip approach + vim first, see how much regexp i have forgot
[20:48] <c00lbard> Wu117: You could checkout ipvsadm and iptables
[20:48] <Wu117> c00lbard: I don't know if I'm writing it too complex. Let's say for whatever reason a service doesn't run on the port I used before, but I told everybody that port, can I forward all traffic that comes to the old port?
[20:49] <hyprvx> Hello, everybody!
[20:49] <Wu117> c00lbard: so this a thing what can be done? :)
[20:50] <hyprvx> How good is TV Tuner support in Ubuntu 14.04? I have an old computer hooked up to a TV, and I have an old TV tuner card I want to hook up for backing up VHS tapes
[20:50] <bekks> hyprvx: Depends on the chipset of that tuner card.
[20:51] <hyprvx> Is there a list of chipsets I can look up in, bekks?
[20:51] <hyprvx> (or just compatible cards)
[20:51] <bekks> hyprvx: You need to know the chipset you have.
[20:52] <day> is it possible to watch a movie across multiple displays with bezel correction?
[20:52] <hyprvx> bekks: Conexant Fusion 878A
[20:52] <c00lbard> Wu117: Yes, iptables can be used to create a forward rule
[20:52] <c00lbard> Wu117: Or prerouting rule
[20:52] <Wu117> c00lbard: thanks! I will search for it! :)
[20:53] <bekks> hyprvx: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Conexant_Fusion_878A
[20:53] <c00lbard> Wu117: Something like this: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport $srcPortNumber -j REDIRECT --to-port $dstPortNumbe
[20:53] <red45923> done it, i made it in vim from starting with : ls *.jpg > ./filelist.txt plus some search/replace, php would have done it too i'm sure as well as igal i am sure, thanks all
[20:54] <Wu117> c00lbard: oh, okay. I think I have some good keywords with iptables and prerouting now. Thank you!
[20:54] <c00lbard> Wu117: No problem :)
[20:55] <hyprvx> bekks: would the command just be pretty much "sudo apt-get install bttv"?
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> !info bttv
[20:56] <bekks> hyprvx: No.
[20:56] <bobin__> HI everyone. New to user to ubuntu, and wondering if someone can help me get java to work? With best regards bobin
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> bobin__: do you mean the web plugin?
[20:57] <bekks> !java | bobin__
[20:57] <hyprvx> where would I acquire the bttv package?
[20:57] <bekks> hyprvx: Why do you want that package?
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> bobin__: webupd8 has a handy java ppa for Oracle Java
[20:58] <bobin__> ActionParsnip: No, to be more specifik JAVA_HOME
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> bobin__: i believe the PPA sets that postinst
[20:59] <hyprvx> That's the driver package for Fusion 878A chipset tuner cards
[20:59] <apb1963> I updated knotes, it said to migrate, now I have no notes.  How can I get my notes back?  ubuntu 12.04
[21:00] <bekks> hyprvx: A package with that name never existed in Ubuntu at all: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bttv&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[21:00] <bekks> hyprvx: So, as can be seen, your assumption is wrong.
[21:01] <bobin__> ActionParsnip: Have googled and try many things i have open jdk installed but when i type ./javafile i get java_home not set
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> bobin__: what is the output of: java -version
[21:02] <hyprvx> alright, how do I obtain/install a driver module? or is this in the linux base? http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Bttv
[21:02] <bekks> hyprvx: You have to read that article, too.
[21:02] <bobin> java version "1.7.0_55"
[21:02] <bobin> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.7) (7u55-2.4.7-1ubuntu1~<IP_ADDRESS>)
[21:02] <bobin> OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> hyprvx: if you run: dmesg | grep -i bttv ,do you see the module detected etc
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> bobin: thats the open java.
[21:03] <bekks> ActionParsnip: No. Its the JDK 7 from Oracle.
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> bobin: ok, run: java ./javafile ,does it run
[21:03] <bekks> ActionParsnip: 1.7.0_55
[21:03] <bekks> ActionParsnip: Isnt it?
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> bekks: openjdk isnt Oracle dude

[21:05] <nathaneltitane> anyone have a clue on how to solve it? there is no i386 install candidate for the 32 bit nvidia libs i need
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> nathaneltitane: is this in Wine?
[21:05] <nathaneltitane> yes
[21:06] <bekks> xeonid: eclipse
[21:06] <xeonid> bekks: any other ?
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> nathaneltitane: did you check the wine appdb for compatibility?
[21:06] <bekks> xeonid: Thats my only recommendation.
[21:06] <xeonid> bekks: thanks
[21:08] <bobin> ActionParsnip: ok. The program Flashtool I'm trying to run says i needs Java version must be 1.6 or 1.7, How will i found the right version, I have googled it and what i found are installed so
[21:09] <metalbrick> my  Ubuntu Frozen every time when Memory usage over 80%
[21:09] <daftykins> metalbrick: memtest
[21:10] <metalbrick> could u be more specific ?
[21:10] <metalbrick> thx
[21:10] <InFierno> run memtest (its an option on boot,m or dl memtest x86)
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> bobin: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
[21:10] <alexherbo2> Hi
[21:11] <bobin> ActionParsnip: thanks
[21:11] <alexherbo2> How enable notification on sound change ?
[21:11] <nathaneltitane> ActionParsnip: well that is the least bit of an error as i get, if i switch to the 64 bit version of that package, it gives me a whooooooooooooooole lot more crap
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> metalbrick: hold SHIFT at boot, select Memtest86+
[21:11] <nathaneltitane> ActionParsnip: it's a mtter of getting the glu32.dll to load
[21:11] <metalbrick> that will do all the job?
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> nathaneltitane: did you check the wine appdb?
[21:12] <metalbrick> just wait for the memtest  finished?
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> metalbrick: if you see red, some or all of the RAM is bad
[21:12] <nathaneltitane> does not exist in it
[21:13] <bonk3rzz> anyone else have probs with netflix???
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> nathaneltitane: ah then you are in uncharted waters. The guys in #winehq may be able to help
[21:13] <nathaneltitane> ActionParsnip: the window version I am trying to run has a linux native build, but i need to use the windows version as a renderer for another windows only app
[21:13] <metalbrick> I post a thread on askubuntu
[21:13] <metalbrick> http://askubuntu.com/questions/464529/ubuntu-frozen-every-time-when-memory-usage-over-80
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> bonk3rzz: it doesnt work and the PPA is a seriously hacked version of winw to make Netflix work
[21:14] <__raven_> 14.04 lts: networking problems similar to that: http://www.ubuntuask.com/q/answers-internet-problem-in-ubuntu-14-04-after-upgrading-from-12-04-450806.html "waiting for network configuration" during boot - known solutions?
[21:15] <metalbrick> if this is a issue with bad RAM, why always when the usage reach 80%
[21:15] <betty_> kwheezy does not boot graphically later I had changed an driver option. It's log is in tty1. startx does not works, shoes: screen not found. Is there a simple (or not) way to fix it?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> metalbrick: if there are RAM errors it will cause issues. You need to make sure its ok
[21:15] <metalbrick> OK
[21:15] <metalbrick> I'll do that first
[21:16] <bonk3rzz> i have had it workin via ppa tons of times but after frest install today its not working
[21:16] <betty_> kwheezy does not boot graphically later I had changed an driver option. It's log is in tty1. startx does not works, shoes: screen not found. Is there a simple (or not) way to fix it?
[21:17] <bonk3rzz> yesterday it worked fine
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> bonk3rzz: contact the PPA maintainer to report the issue
[21:17] <bonk3rzz> lame
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> bonk3rzz: if netflix supported linux we wouldnt have the issue
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> bonk3rzz: so yes, netflix is lame
[21:18] <bonk3rzz> lol
[21:18] <bobin> ActionParsnip: Sorry the say I did not work
[21:18] <bonk3rzz> netflix rox windows is lame
[21:19] <OerHeks> bonk3rzz, confirmed, netflix changed something, just wait and see
[21:19] <MikeRL> Well, that was fun being in pain and then puking from dental work for a week. Glad I'm better now. I still need help finding a way to report whatever is causing my boot issues.
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> bonk3rzz: until they support linux you'll probably have issues. Weirdly though they are happy to support Android...
[21:19] <MikeRL> A lot of the times I boot into Ubuntu 14.04, the keyboard doesn't work at all. LEDs are all lit up, though.
[21:19] <bonk3rzz> witch is linux
[21:20] <MikeRL> And other times, it just hangs on bootup and never completes.
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> bonk3rzz: indeed
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: tried a different usb port?
[21:20] <MikeRL> By the way, I do have the splash disabled, so I get all the useful boot information.
[21:20] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip: Why USB port?
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: is it not a usb keyboard?
[21:20] <MikeRL> It's not a USB keyboard. It's a laptop.
[21:21] <MikeRL> An HP DV&-4285dx.
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: you never said that it was a laptop....
[21:21] <MikeRL> Should have. Sorry.
[21:21] <bonk3rzz> btw how do you do the how at a person in hexchat like you did "bonk3rzz : indeed
[21:21] <bekks> !tab | bonk3rzz
[21:21] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip: I'll open a dailogue window with you.
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> bonk3rzz: tab conplete nicks. It highlights them for you too :-)
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: have you tested your RAM?
[21:23] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, as soon as I done a fresh install of 14.04 I got issues.
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: can you boot liveCD ok?
[21:23] <MikeRL> Does tabbing (Hexchat automatically uses a comma afterwards) work to highlight people, or must I use a colon?
[21:24] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, is this message highlighted?
[21:24] <bonk3rzz> well thx anyway
[21:24] <__raven_> 14.04 lts: networking problems similar to that: http://www.ubuntuask.com/q/answers-internet-problem-in-ubuntu-14-04-after-upgrading-from-12-04-450806.html "waiting for network configuration" during boot - known solutions?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: yes
[21:24] <bekks> MikeRL: mentioning the name of a person is called "a hilight".
[21:24] <betty_> kwheezy does not boot graphically later I had changed a driver option. It's log is in tty1. startx does not works, shows: screen not found. Is there a simple (or not) way to fix it?
[21:24] <MikeRL> Good. So I see I don't have to use a colon.
[21:25] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, I have tried a LiveCD. Could try one multiple times and see the boot success rate.
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> __raven: have you modified /etc/network/interfaces ?
[21:25] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, but I have boot information shown, no splash. Anything I can upload?
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: could use imageshack etc if you take a picture with a camera
[21:26] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, I've had this issue for many weeks, and I'd like to get a bug report out of it if I cannot fix it. Thanks for your help, but multiple users from this and other Linux-related IRC channels have tried to no avail to resolve my issues with booting.
[21:26] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, How about any logs? Those may be better?
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: is the hdd ok?
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: could get the boot logs from the system in livecd
[21:27] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, Don't know 100%. Any way I can find out from the boot logs>
[21:27] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, Oops. Not good grammar on my end today.
[21:27] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, how would I get those logs?
[21:27] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, I'll write it down.
[21:28] <betty_> c'mon..
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> MikeRL: mount the partition and look in var/log
[21:28] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, Can I do that while in my install? It boots some of the time.
[21:29] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, I'm typing from it now.
[21:29] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, I can also check the hardware later if needed.
[21:29] <k1l> betty_: for debian ask in #debian :)
[21:30] <betty_> k1l: Ok..
[21:30] <MikeRL> ActionParsnip, I can boot up normally - some of the time. Now I'm in Ubuntu 14.04, and I can easily pull up logs from there. Which ones are of interest?
[21:32] <kaste> Hello folks I am looking for a kind soul with a working texlive with biber on ubuntu who can verify for me that this segfaults for them as well tex file http://pastebin.com/99KRgsND bib  http://pastebin.com/KX7Am17B
[21:33] <SigmaOfPop> I am looking for an application that would prevent me from accessing certain applications over a pre-set time period.
[21:33] <Tin_man> one thing i've learned about linux, any version.. All good, but once you find one that fits, don't fiddle with it..
[21:34] <Tin_man> unless your in to "C" or such
[21:37] <bobin> Hi folks. Can someone help me with setting Java_home? I have googled and googled and cant get it to work
[21:37] <randomjerk> MacBookPro6,1 - theres no wiki, which is the better one to go with
[21:38] <MikeRL> OK, so my issue remains.
[21:38] <daftykins> randomjerk: better one what?
[21:38] <randomjerk> wiki page to ffollow, dude
[21:38] <daftykins> for what?
[21:38] <MikeRL> The keyboard doesn't work at all half the time when I boot up. Using a laptop with 14.04. LEDs are all lit up, though.
[21:39] <MikeRL> Apparently I can find logs in /var/log. Which ones would be of interest?
[21:39] <ridethespiral> I broke my install :/ damnit lol
[21:39] <randomjerk> the installs not in the bootloader when i power it on
[21:41] <daftykins> randomjerk: use rEFIt or something
[21:41] <randomjerk> ...
[21:41] <ridethespiral> How can I uninstall fglrx from recovery?
[21:41] <randomjerk> just ttell me which M to RTF
[21:41] <daftykins> randomjerk: i'm not looking for a guide for you.
[21:41] <MikeRL> Need help. Laptop is practically unusable, and I have to reboot it more than half the time I boot it up because booting either doesn't complete, or the keyboard doesn't work at all.
[21:41] <UsQUE> whats the difference between firewalld and ufs? I heared ufw don't allow zoning?
[21:41] <daftykins> ridethespiral: sudo apt-get remove fglrx*
[21:42] <xeno_> Looks like fvwm-crystal does nothing on Ubuntu server.
[21:42] <daftykins> ridethespiral: but you'll have to have remounted your / as read/write before you can do that
[21:42] <ubuntu-studio> .
[21:42] <randomjerk> daftykins: page says pick your model, model not there... you'll have to excuse me for asking which one will be more helpful.
[21:42] <_blk> j #autotools
[21:42] <ridethespiral> OK I'll look up the command
[21:43]  * randomjerk looks up rEFIt
[21:43] <randomjerk> lol - not maintained.
[21:46] <SigmaOfPop> I am looking for an application that would prevent me from accessing certain applications over a pre-set time period.
[21:46] <ridethespiral> Sweet I can get to the desktop now
[21:46] <randomjerk> SigmaOfPop: like an anti-drunk-dialing thing?
[21:46] <viper3905gt1> Bashing- u on?
[21:47] <SigmaOfPop> well. more like a "Steam games are destroying my ability to do homework" sort of thing
[21:47] <randomjerk> that would be the second guess.
[21:47] <randomjerk> I normally create a second user for that stuff
[21:48] <randomjerk> keep the "restricted content" in just that users' homedir
[21:49] <SigmaOfPop> well. this is my own productivity
[21:49] <ridethespiral> so fglrx fixes the error I get on boot, but I can't get past the ubuntu splash screen... http://tinyurl.com/mwdsch6
[21:49] <SunkSullen> Going through hell trying to make grub my bootloader.
[21:49] <__raven> how to suggest if xubuntu is able to install to this or similar devices in case of secboot and boot- or flash process? "Aspire Switch 10"
[21:49] <ridethespiral> Uninstall fglrx and I can get to desktop after that error..
[21:49] <SunkSullen> I have Ubuntu installed
[21:50] <randomjerk> SigmaOfPop: right - you can still have 2 users on the machine that are you...
[21:50] <SunkSullen> but I can't seem to get it to boot withouth using boot menu
[21:50] <SunkSullen> Any ideas?
[21:50] <SigmaOfPop> Yeah, but everything is in my own user system, and it would be too easy to switch over.
[21:50] <SigmaOfPop> I am looking, in essence, for a free linux version of netnanny
[21:51] <randomjerk> i'm sure there's a sub-reddit about being motivated to do homework, but suggesting reddit never helped anyone
[21:52] <SunkSullen> SigmaOfPop check out elemetary
[21:52] <_blk> SigmaOfPop, http://askubuntu.com/a/70277
[21:52] <SunkSullen> SigmaOfPop http://distrowatch.org/table.php?distribution=elementary
[21:53] <SigmaOfPop> Thanks blk
[21:53] <SigmaOfPop> because quite honestly
[21:53] <SigmaOfPop> I don't want to have to install yet another distro just for productivity
[21:54] <MohammadAG> Meh, came back to my PC after a 12.04 to 14.04 upgrade and grub's on its prompt
[21:54] <MohammadAG> I tried update-grub / update-grub2 in a chroot, OSs are detected, but it still drops me into a prompt
[21:54] <MohammadAG> any suggestions?
[21:55] <daftykins> MohammadAG: errors?
[21:55] <MohammadAG> none
[21:56] <daftykins> is it a multi-boot setup?
[21:56] <SunkSullen> no
[21:56] <SunkSullen> for me
[21:56] <SunkSullen> same problem
[21:56] <MohammadAG> yes, for some (old, can't remember it) reason, it goes from Windows 7 boot screen selection -> GRUB
[21:56] <SunkSullen> damn UEFI
[21:57] <MohammadAG> I don't have/use UEFI
[21:57] <SunkSullen> legacy?
[21:57] <MohammadAG> it's a custom desktop from 4 years ago
[21:57] <vik123> anyone here ?
[21:57] <MohammadAG> so yeah, legacy
[21:58] <SunkSullen> well I'm going to try super-grub2 disc
[21:58] <SunkSullen> see i I can repair
[21:58] <SunkSullen> LAME
[21:59] <vik123> my laptop is overheating . its around 60 C  i use 14.04, however it was good with 12.04 . Is there anyway i can downgrade to 12.04 without affecting my programs
[21:59] <daftykins> vik123: no
[22:00] <vik123> else dowgrade my kernal
[22:00] <vik123> downgrade*
[22:00] <chicognu> http://imgur.com/s4kuKh5 my files saved from dvr looks like that ... whys is this happing ?
[22:00] <General_Linear> hi
[22:00] <vik123> i use hybrid amd and intel graphics . that causes the problem
[22:00] <_blk> vik123, the 12.04 kernel is probably too far back to work.
[22:01] <daftykins> chicognu: maybe they're encrypted.
[22:01] <vik123> _blk: yeah i know , but my laptop temp is around 60 C
[22:01] <MohammadAG> Installed grub to MBR, that fixed it
[22:01] <_blk> vik123, it's probably the AMD GPU producing the heat so you want to get that down (unless you have 100% cpu usage).. are you using the binary blob?
[22:01] <chicognu> daftykins, i don't think so
[22:01] <MikeRL> Help please.
[22:02] <daftykins> MikeRL: have you looked up your model of laptop + ubuntu?
[22:02] <vik123> _blk: binary blob , dont know about it
[22:02] <UbuntuBoy> hMessengerey ppl, had a quick question. How do i get my Infinity Comcast to stream thru ubuntu14.04? i have tube working fine and have flash going. however when i go to my comcast site to stream movies it times out and just contun
[22:02] <UbuntuBoy> to kep buffing
[22:02] <ridethespiral> I had to use an acpi_call module to disable my discreet graphics because it was causing my laptop to overheat and shut off
[22:02] <chicognu> daftykins, it is videos saved from the cameras sistem ... i can play all they
[22:02] <MikeRL> daftykins, it's a hpdv7-4285dx and Ubuntu 14.04.
[22:02] <_blk> vik123, the fglrx driver from AMD (binary only) or the open source radeon driver
[22:02] <daftykins> MikeRL: that's lovely but you didn't answer my question
[22:03] <cancer> i cannot seems to install linux with win 8, it's show free space when choosing partition for space. i'm currently running window 8 and i am trying for dual boot. i have disabled fastboot/startup and changed UEFI to CSM, Secure boot "Disabled" for USB boot but still having same partition issue for any linux distro.
[22:03] <MikeRL> daftykins, I can, but it worked for how many previous releases.
[22:03] <MikeRL> daftykins, and on 14.04 I have massive issues. I'll try Googling again, but I doubt I'll find the answer.
[22:04] <lodabub> I have a question about an unusual thing.  I'm trying to install libtinfo5 using dpkg on an amd64 system.  I did use dpkg --add-architecture i386.
[22:04] <vik123> _blk: i use default open source driver , because AMD driver heats too much than this . However it was opposite case for 12.04. AMD driver worked like a charm in that . got around only 40 C
[22:04] <_blk> vik123, while I don't have much experience with the non-open stuff, I think the catalyst driver has power savings options that the open source driver might not possess. So you could try installing the binary driver (there's plenty of documentation for that) and the use the catalyst control center to regulate the power consumption
[22:04] <lodabub> libtinfo5 i386
[22:05] <UbuntuBoy> does anyone know why i cant get my infinty comcast to stream movies thru ubuntu14.04
[22:05] <MikeRL> daftykins, I found similar questions related to Fedora. Nothing with an answer.
[22:05] <UbuntuBoy> im trying to stream my comcast movies thru ubuntu 14.04  and cant seem to get it to stream.. you tube works fine..
[22:06] <DrGrov> bekks: Hi, still there?
[22:06] <MikeRL> daftykins, I'vve had this issue for about a month.
[22:07] <vik123> _blk: i tried catalyst driver , i ran into problem , i was not able to get into GUI . However i used the old version of AMD driver which i downloaded 5 months ago . i will check with the new one
[22:07] <MikeRL> daftykins, Also I Googled and only got three pages of results. The most relevant thing was a bug I reported to other less serious keyboard issues.
[22:07] <daftykins> MikeRL: seems like if you really need this thing working, you should go back to 12.04
[22:08] <_blk> vik123, I believe there's a way to install it from the ubuntu repositories
[22:08] <OerHeks> UbuntuBoy, as i understand right: xfinity Comcast content need silverlight, that is broken as of yesterday, netflix too.
[22:08] <MikeRL> daftykins, I can wait. I just want to find the cause and file a bug report.
[22:08] <daftykins> right, i can't help with that
[22:09] <MikeRL> daftykins, It's messed up. Every non-LTS prior to 14.04 since 12.04 worked without major issues.
[22:09] <MikeRL> daftykins, Who can help? I need help.
[22:09] <cancer> i cannot seems to install linux with win 8, it's show free space when choosing partition for installation space. i'm currently running window 8 and i am trying for dual boot. i have disabled fastboot/startup and changed UEFI to CSM, Secure boot "Disabled" for USB boot but still having same partition issue for any linux distro.
[22:10] <vik123> _blk: u mean section 2.1 in this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[22:10] <MikeRL> daftykins, Worth trying #ubuntu-bugs?
[22:10] <daftykins> MikeRL: well, i can tell you right now that repeatedly asking in desperation isn't going to do anything but anger us
[22:10] <randomjerk> came because i have a broken boot loader, stayed to watch others ask
[22:10] <xeno_> Okay, so now I have a fullyinstalled gnome-shell, and it just comes up a gray screen with no menus.
[22:11] <daftykins> cancer: you can't install ubuntu in legacy mode beside an EFI installation of windows 8
[22:11] <daftykins> well you can but you'd have to keep changing mode to boot each
[22:11] <MikeRL> daftykins, I can find a log file and upload it. I'm only desperate because it's quite annoying. I know you guys are volunteers, but I have to file a bug report somehow.
[22:11] <vik123> _blk: should i follow section 2.1  or 3.2 . as its for hybrid graphics , which is my case
[22:12] <cancer> daftykins | it's my first time with EFI type don't know much about it. confused. :|
[22:12] <daftykins> !efi | cancer
[22:12] <MikeRL> daftykins, I can try and calm down, but would it be best to try #ubuntu-bugs?
[22:12] <daftykins> instead of asking me you could've gone in and asked by now. but you don't know what to file a bug against
[22:13] <MikeRL> daftykins, How do I find out what to file a bug against? That's part of the issue.
[22:13] <_blk> vik123, looks like a good starting point
[22:13] <vik123> _blk: which one should i follow 2.1 or 3.2
[22:14] <_blk> vik123, I was thinking of using the "Additional drivers" (http://askubuntu.com/questions/301543/how-to-open-the-additional-drivers-window-using-command-line) but it may not cover your hybrid case..
[22:14] <vik123> as mine is Hybrid graphics
