[15:51] <xebra> Grimblee, I heard about smart, I guess I'll have to look into it before it's too late
[15:51] <alias__> anyone familiar with canonical landscape?
[15:51] <Grimblee> something like smartctl -H /dev/sda should show you infotmations on your drive
[15:52] <Grimblee> informations*
[15:52] <Grimblee> no -H does a check
[15:52] <Grimblee> -i for informations
[15:53] <Grimblee> Personnaly I prefer to use constructor's utility to scan hard drives, a good package of those is Hiren's Boot CD
[15:53] <Grimblee> you got seagate, WD and other hardrives scanners
[15:53] <Grimblee> and HDAT that can check any hdd
[15:54] <Grimblee> those will tell you if you've got bad sectors
[15:54] <Grimblee> and may try to repair them
[15:55] <transhuman> Grimblee, never mind my question was a follow up question about ESXi ...no place here
[15:56] <Grimblee> transhuman, ok ^^ did you try KVM/libvirt instead of ESXi ? those are free and open source :D
[15:57] <transhuman> I know, I have been using Xen, KVM, Hyper-v, ESXi, VMware Workstation, fusion and others depending on what I am doing. For this VMware is better
[15:58] <Guest3355> as
[16:00] <transhuman> what I was asking for was an antivirus scanner for ESXi. No problem I will ask where its appropriate
[16:01] <daftykins> transhuman: good idea
[16:02] <ZeD-> hi, how do i configure the interval of how often 'apt-get update' runs ? or does it run every time i install a package
[16:03] <ganymede_> ZeD-: From the GUI you can load the ‘Software’ app and look in, I think the second tab.
[16:03] <pjz> ZeD-: it doesn't run by itself, something must invoke it
[16:03] <Seveas> ZeD-: it only runs when you run it :)
[16:04] <pjz> ZeD-: update-manager or the like would be my strong suspicion; check their settings
[16:04] <daftykins> yes it does - it runs when you use auto update, or to update the updates available in the MOTD on login
[16:04] <daftykins> (SSH login)
[16:05] <ZeD-> trying to avoid gui, trying to get this templated in saltstack, so wondering where the config file is (if any) i thought this could be a cron thing
[16:05] <black_ant> Hi guys - I am running Ubuntu 15.10 in Virtualbox - I am not able to get the screen in fullscreen mode - anyone knows a workaround this?!
[16:06] <pjz> daftykins: that's called 'unattended-upgrades', and is a similarly-named package.  It's not part of apt-get itself.
[16:06] <ZeD-> black_ant: did you install the virtuabox additional tools ?
[16:06] <daftykins> pjz: it's not me asking
[16:06] <daftykins> plus the net result is the same surely, package lists need updating to know there are updates?
[16:06] <black_ant> ZeD-: Yes I did with no joy.
[16:06] <Pici> ZeD-: see  /etc/cron.daily/apt
[16:07] <mekhami> how do i set DNS settings in 15.10
[16:07] <mekhami> i can't handle this anymore
[16:07] <pjz> anyone having issues with HTML5 (youtube) vids on chrome not working on 14.04 ?
[16:07] <mekhami> AT&T Uverse is making it absolutely impossible to browse the web at all
[16:07] <auronandace> !resovconf | mekhami
[16:07] <sallu> hello hello
[16:08] <sallu> i am in trouble
[16:08] <auronandace> !resolvconf | mekhami
[16:08] <sallu> help me
[16:08] <sallu> sorry my friend is in trouble
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> sallu  let's hear it, in one line
[16:08] <daftykins> sallu: we prefer to help directly, not through an intermediary
[16:08] <mekhami> auronandace: i have everything set in resolvconf and it doesn't work
[16:08] <sallu> he wants to double boot with ubuntu and windows
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> sallu  then ask him to come to the screen
[16:09] <sallu> MonkeyDust, he has windows 10 already installed in uefi native enabled but how to install ubuntu along side
[16:09] <onto> Hi! I just upgraded to 14.04 and I want to install libsdl1.2-dev; however I am getting these errors: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a56fe9c536dcb1587fc2
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> sallu  great, but we can only help when he's typing here
[16:09] <sallu> MonkeyDust, he is watching you now... reading all your messages, i am more technical than him
[16:09] <sallu> MonkeyDust, you here to help ? right
[16:09] <mekhami> also what's the command to restart network manager in 15.10?
[16:10] <daftykins> sallu: to the people direct, not via someone else - ideally. however, resize the windows drive from windows with diskmgmt.msc to make some space
[16:10] <pjz> mekhami: service networking restart maybe ?
[16:10] <sallu> daftykins, sorry i am also want the same thing. we both have hp probook 450 g2
[16:11] <daftykins> sallu: see above then
[16:11] <sallu> daftykins, i really really want to do it quickly.. i have experience with legacy mode . i have done it a lot but not in uefi
[16:12] <daftykins> sallu: no, rushing is how mistakes are made - come back when you're willing to work on it sensibly.
[16:12] <onto> Trying to install the dependencies manually results in broken packages (and similar message).
[16:12] <sallu> daftykins, i am searching searching a lot
[16:13] <sallu> daftykins, i am a serious person.. and ready to be sensible with technical issues
[16:13] <daftykins> sallu: so are you going to do what i already said?
[16:14] <sybariten> hello! quick question. Is it possoble to say, for a v14 of ubuntu, which version of openconnect i am supposed to reach through apt-get ?
[16:14] <sybariten> i got v5 myself but i would maybe need to run v6
[16:14] <pjz> sybariten: apt-cache show openconnect
[16:15] <JesusSavesMe> Hi i installed Xubuntu 14.04 LTS but i can't change brightness with Fn + brightness keys.. Only way i can change brightness is via command line using: sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness <<< 5
[16:15] <EriC^^> sybariten: apt-cache policy openconnect , too
[16:15] <sybariten> pjz: ok! thanks! v.5 it was, and v5 i have. So now where do i look for possibilities for an upgrade.. ?
[16:16] <mekhami> i need significant help with this DNS problem. is anyone around that's knowledgable?
[16:16] <sallu_>  daftykins, i don't want to shrink.. i have 80Gb space unallocated already on the same hardisk . i want to make 3 partitions
[16:16] <sybariten> EriC^^: dont really understand the policy output... what is a candidate in this case?
[16:16] <sallu_> daftykins,  1 for root, second for home and 3rd for swap
[16:16] <pjz> sybariten: have you done a pacakge-index update? 'apt-get update' ?
[16:16] <daftykins> sallu: do that from the ubuntu installer. boot a flash drive with ubuntu on, in EFI mode.
[16:16] <daftykins> sallu_: why are there two of you?
[16:16] <adrian_1908> hello. I think I may have the following bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1237904) which the follow package (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/2:1.17.2-1ubuntu9.1) is supposed to fix. However apt is unable to locate package `xorg-server`. I used the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed to enable and "pin" wily-proposed updates.
[16:17] <sallu_> daftykins, ok
[16:17] <EriC^^> sybariten: it's the one that will get installed if you use apt-get install
[16:17] <sybariten> EriC^^: alrite
[16:17] <sybariten> pjz: i believe so, but let me try
[16:17] <sallu_> daftykins, HP laptops have "customized boot" option for installing along OS which is already in uefi
[16:17] <sallu_> daftykins, do you know efi path for ubuntu
[16:17] <sallu_> daftykins, i am ready to listen you now
[16:18] <daftykins> sallu_: no, don't use an EFI console... just boot it properly via a boot menu.
[16:18] <lea02> Hello, I'm facing a problem with my partitions. When checking the systeme file (from system monitor) I have a difference between the total size of my disk and the available size of my disk. I indeed made a free space when installing for a further Windows installation. However I can't see that partition, why ?
[16:18] <adrian_1908> p.s. `sudo apt-get install xorg-server/wily-proposed` is what I used, preceded by an apt-get update.
[16:18] <sallu_> daftykins, you mean boot it in as casual ?
[16:18] <daftykins> sallu_: that phrasing makes zero sense to me :)
[16:19] <sybariten> pjz: i did the update now, it is still v5 when i check the policy
[16:19] <pjz> sybariten: you might also want to enable backports and see if any upgrades are available there.  Finally you can see if you can find a ppa that's more up to date and add that as a package source
[16:19] <sallu_> daftykins,  what to do?
[16:19] <pjz> sybariten: what version are you looking for?
[16:20] <daftykins> sallu_: boot the flash drive...
[16:20] <daftykins> !efi | sallu_
[16:20] <sybariten> pjz: version 6
[16:20] <sallu_> daftykins, i already made bootable usb of ubuntu via universal usb installer tool, what you want me to do
[16:20] <sallu_> daftykins, boot the drive in efi ..ok
[16:20] <lea02> I am wondering, why when making a "df -h --total" it doesn't show the entire size of my disk. Even after checking with an usb stick and gparted, I didn't find out the "free partition". I hope I can get help here.
[16:20] <sybariten> pjz or 6.00218 if i wanna try and mimick the work machines exactly....
[16:20] <sallu_> daftykins, already selected uefi native option
[16:21] <daftykins> sallu_: just have a read of the above link please, no need to repeat :)
[16:21] <pjz> sybariten: oh, not 7.06?
[16:22] <sallu_> daftykins, ok
[16:22] <pjz> sybariten: There's a PPA that does daily builds: https://launchpad.net/~openconnect/+archive/ubuntu/daily
[16:22] <sybariten> pjz: well.... at work they have v6, which isnt exactly the latest as i understand. Im thinking it would be optimal to get that, to eliminate certain errors
[16:22] <pjz> sybariten: it has 7.06
[16:23] <sybariten> pjz: ok i can try v7 .... how do i start? I want to add sometning to a repo conf?
[16:23] <sallu_> daftykins,
[16:24] <sallu_> daftykins, i have 3 options here , boot mode >> legacy, uefi hybrid (with csm), uefi native ( without csm )
[16:24] <sallu_> daftykins, ???
[16:25] <pjz> sybariten: go to that page and read the link under 'read about installing'
[16:25] <daftykins> sallu_: be patient. yes, you can leave it as it is - on the last option - this is likely explained on the link i gave you, so please, give it some attention
[16:27] <sallu_> daftykins, is there any need for mentioning boot path when we choose "Customized boot"
[16:27] <sallu_> daftykins, i thought you are an expert ?
[16:27] <daftykins> sallu_: choose that where... that's not part of ubuntu
[16:28] <sallu_> daftykins, ok than if you don't want to help then its ok
[16:28] <daftykins> sallu_: is there a particular reason you feel the need to try and insult? there's no point me repeating the information that's already provided in the link i gave.
[16:29] <sallu_> daftykins, i ask a simply query that you have any knowledge of " customized boot " option
[16:29] <sybariten> pjz: well thats logical  :)   anywho they present the information a bit dubiously ... there is both talk about the ppa adress and they also present it as a normal http adress
[16:30] <daftykins> sallu_: and i'm asking where you see that, since every systems EFI is different and i can't see  what you're doing...
[16:31] <sybariten> should i use this line "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openconnect/daily/ubuntu trusty main" with add-apt-reposityry, or by manually adding to a conf file? The add-apt-repository examples i see are with different adresses
[16:31] <onto> I am also getting an error: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL" when trying to compile melt
[16:31] <sybariten> and without trusty main
[16:31] <sallu_> daftykins, oh ok, but Hp have some kind of rather irritated hard coded path for efi allocation
[16:32] <daftykins> sallu_: normally those don't have to be fought with just to get the flash drive booted, however windows related entries such as fast boot and secure boot may need disabling for an ubuntu flash drive to start... this is all covered in the EFI link i already shared :)
[16:34] <sallu_> daftykins, yeah i know
[16:34] <sallu_> daftykins,  check this link, i have this link for more than a month lolx.. its complete explaination of my issue http://fomori.org/blog/?p=892
[16:35] <daftykins> sallu_: getting it installed is the main task, resolving the boot aspects can be done later
[16:39] <sybariten> ok solved the ppa thing
[16:39] <sybariten> i didnt read too well
[16:40] <free29> Hello there
[16:45] <adrian_1908> Ok I'll give this another shot. I'm looking for help with an Xorg package. If you check the following link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1237904 in post #24 there's an announcement from a week ago that a fixed xorg package would be made available in wily-proposed. I'm trying to install that package. I think it's called 'xserver-xorg' in binary form.
[16:54] <joey_> Greeting Ubuntu Community, I was wondering, is there a way to have Ubuntu 15.04 with the Ubuntu 10.10 look?
[16:54] <daftykins> get ubuntu MATE
[16:54] <joey_> My computer can't handle the new graphical look
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> joey_  try MATE
[16:55] <daftykins> or xubuntu, or lubuntu... which are both lighter weight
[16:55] <joey_> will it work even with a computer with about 128MB worth of graphic memory
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> !lubuntu | joey_
[16:57] <daftykins> joey_: yes.
[16:58] <daftykins> joey_: what is the rest of the spec? i.e. CPU and RAM?
[16:58] <joey_> hmm ok, but I love the way Ubuntu 10.10 runs and feels. I wish I could continue to get updates with that OS
[16:58] <joey_> because my computer is crap
[16:58] <daftykins> joey_: you should pick lubuntu or xubuntu 14.04 perhaps, for LTS goodness - no point chasing latest versions
[16:59] <UbuN2> hello guys ... and daftykins doo you ever rest your always helping out .
[16:59] <daftykins> :)
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> UbuN2  daftykins is only a bot, please don't think he's intelligent
[17:00] <UbuN2> he is a ne of a kind person rare to find helpers this good tbh .
[17:00] <UbuN2> one*
[17:01] <daftykins> you are too kind; but there are plenty of volunteers here far far better, i just dabble
[17:01] <daftykins> so any questions today, UbuN2 ?
[17:01] <UbuN2> just gonna observe and learn as usually thanks i will ask if im in a pickle lol
[17:02] <daftykins> ok :)
[17:02] <UbuN2> :))
[17:03] <joey_> It has a Dual Core 1.9Ghz AMD CPU, 2GB of RAM, I think 128MB of Video RAM
[17:03] <daftykins> joey_: mmm, it'd definitely benefit from lu or xubuntu then
[17:03] <joey_> it's the AMD Athion 64bit
[17:03] <RyanTG> If you're trying to play some games on older hardware with Ubuntu I've found installing Gnome-panel and Metacity works really well at speeding up rendering performance.
[17:03] <joey_> or yeah?
[17:03] <joey_> It ran Ubuntu 10.10 great
[17:04] <daftykins> sometimes there just comes a time when you have to throw these things out and pick up even a 250 GBP system which'll blow something like that away
[17:04] <joey_> I have a 120GB SSD in there as well
[17:05] <joey_> is there a way that I can install the theme from ubuntu 10.10 on the current Linux Mint 17.2 that I'm on?
[17:06] <joey_> is there a way that I can install the theme from ubuntu 10.10 on the current Linux Mint 17.2 that I'm on?
[17:08] <nicomachus> you got Mint 17 on that machine?
[17:08] <daftykins> joey_: we don't help with Mint in anyway, shape or form
[17:09] <joey_> oh yeah duh
[17:09] <daftykins> !mint | joey_
[17:09] <joey_> haha sorry
[17:09] <daftykins> that's their IRC network and channel ^
[17:10] <Guest63818> hi guys, when will ubuntu 16.04 freeze new packages?
[17:10] <daftykins> Guest63818: well it'll come out in April so... probably a ways off, questions in #ubuntu+1 of upcoming versions though please
[17:12] <edubunt> hello everyone, my system install is extremely slow. it got stuck where it says 'almost finished copying files...'. it is repeating the lines about pulseaudio, I guess it was something like 'cant find autospawn lock' (cant see it now as it is too slow to open the terminal view)..should I stop the install? would it damage the rest of the system, like other OS on drive or grub etc..?
[17:14] <daftykins> edubunt: damage? no, unlikely
[17:15] <adrian_1908> edubunt: It would only leave the areas you're installing over "damaged". But not unaffected OSes or partitions.
[17:15] <edubunt> I mean, whether grub gets messed up because install is interrupted
[17:15] <daftykins> you're so early on, just blitz it and start over?
[17:15] <daftykins> maybe md5 your download ISO / check your media is good
[17:16] <adrian_1908> did you reach the grub stage yet? isn't that usually the very latest step after all file copying is done?
[17:17] <edubunt> I didnt know the order. but if it's early and safe, I'd do it
[17:18] <bubbles> is abiword good? or can i remove it?
[17:18] <bubbles> it got installed automatically when i installed some desktop environment
[17:18] <edubunt> thank you for your help, gotta reboot now
[17:24] <bubbles> !test |bubbles
[17:24] <DrGrov> Running Linux Mint 17, but I do need some help to reset my dad's root password.
[17:24] <daftykins> !mint | DrGrov sorry we don't help with Mint, ask the Mint folks
[17:25] <DrGrov> Would really appreciate it if someone would like to help
[17:25] <DrGrov> daftykins: Thank you.
[17:26] <pjz> anyone have hints on how to get video working again in google-chrome on xubuntu 14.04 ? It broke on my last update.
[17:27] <daftykins> what kind of video?
[17:27] <pjz> daftykins: youtube
[17:27] <pjz> daftykins: HTML5 vids
[17:27] <pjz> they just show a static starting image
[17:27] <daftykins> test a clean profile first
[17:28] <bubbles> does only youtube not work?
[17:28] <pjz> no, afaict nothing works anymore
[17:29] <daftykins> could be graphics driver related, if you know your graphics hardware?
[17:29] <pjz> nvidia
[17:29] <pjz> hm, good point
[17:30] <pjz> I'm on 14.04 if that matters
[17:30] <bubbles> if you have any video on computer you can test if it plays by typing file:/// in address bar and then going to the video
[17:31] <lotus|xenial> pjz: you know your cards chipset?
[17:31] <pjz> bubbles: hm. that failed too.

[17:33] <oberststen> Hello I'm currently using ProFTPD Version 1.3.5rc3 on Ubuntu 14.04, everytime that I reboot, proftpd starts running, but at some point, randomly it stops, if i start it again, at some point it goes off again, anyone knows that could be causing this? The logs are empty
[17:34] <bubbles> and normally the video plays in the video player?
[17:34] <pjz> bubbles: vlc plays it fine
[17:34] <daftykins> pjz: test the guest session, so as to avoid your user's chrome profile.
[17:34] <joey_> Thanks for all your help! I'm gonna go try this Ubuntu 10.10 theme thing
[17:35] <bubbles> vlc is different thing altogether, it almost always plays anything
[17:35] <pjz> daftykins: I tried google-chrome --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-profile
[17:35] <bubbles> try the default video player
[17:35] <pjz> bubbles: oh, you mean the video player in chrome? or what?
[17:35] <bubbles> pjz, totem player

[17:36] <lunix> hola una pregunta como formateo una usb en xubuntu
[17:36] <Guest27250> i have installed ubuntu on my computer a while ago now i want to install it on my usb drive, where is the "install ubuntu" located after i have finished installing on my computer
[17:37] <oberststen> lunix: Te están respondiendo que aquí SOLO SE HABLA EN INGLÉS, si quieres que te respondan en español ve al canal #ubuntu-es
[17:37] <lunix> hola una pregunta como formateo una usb en xubuntu
[17:37] <daftykins> Guest27250: there isn't one
[17:37] <pjz> bubbles: I don't have totem installed
[17:37] <Guest27250> daftykins, how can i install ubuntu on my usb drive in ubuntu?
[17:37] <ppalmieri> hi, im using 10.10 desktop, just upgraded and im using a pair of bluetooth headphones..  There used to be a duplex/stereo drop down seelctor in soudn settings and now its gone, which is what used to be the problem when i connected the headphones.. is there another way to make this connection use stereo?
[17:38] <SchrodingersScat> !10.10 | ppalmieri
[17:38] <daftykins> ppalmieri: you can't mean 10.10, it's been dead for years
[17:38] <bubbles> pjz, so lets assume only chrome is faulty
[17:38] <ppalmieri> sorry... 15.10
[17:38] <ppalmieri> stupid fingers
[17:38] <daftykins> Guest27250: not sure, maybe you can install ubiquity which is the installer
[17:38] <pjz> bubbles: well, but chromium isn't playing either
[17:38] <daftykins> !info ubiquity
[17:39] <Guest27250> lmfao thx
[17:39] <Guest27250> but it dont copy my already installed ubuntu on that drive right?
[17:39] <Guest27250> just want a clean version
[17:40] <bubbles> pjz, oh wait, did you press f12
[17:40] <daftykins> Guest27250: of course not
[17:40] <bubbles> pjz, the console in chrome might show what the error is
[17:40] <daftykins> Guest27250: fwiw i wouldn't recommend running from a flash drive at all; definitely don't create a swap partition
[17:40] <Guest27250> daftykins, i need it for traveling
[17:41] <Guest27250> daftykins, cant take my pc with me
[17:41] <daftykins> ok
[17:41] <bubbles> Guest27250, yo i have ubuntu on flash 3.0 device
[17:41] <vishap> hey ppl of ubuntu. i use other distributions, however right now i am trying to help someone to upgraie it's trusty.
[17:41] <daftykins> vishap: we prefer to deal directly, not go through other people - it makes life unnecessarily hard.
[17:42] <Guest27250> daftykins, i can make a swap partition on my 500gb hard drive
[17:42] <daftykins> Guest27250: which won't be there when you leave, so boot will fail
[17:42] <vishap> do-release-upgrade downloads vivid, not unicorn.
[17:42] <vishap> is it ok?
[17:42] <daftykins> vishap: utopic = 14.10 which is EOL, dead.
[17:42] <Guest27250> daftykins, so what is the best option to use linux on a usb drive?
[17:42] <drnapster> quick question. i have tested this in unity and mate across 4 computers and when i install an app i have to reboot before it will show up in the application list please tell me there is a fix
[17:42] <Guest27250> daftykins, tails is supported on a drive lol
[17:43] <daftykins> vishap: 14.04 doesn't go directly to 15.04, that'll likely fail - did you hand edit sources.list ?
[17:43] <daftykins> Guest27250: Sonic the Hedgehog's companion?
[17:43] <Guest27250> lol
[17:43] <vishap> no i just run do-release-upgrade.
[17:43] <bubbles> got to go, adios all
[17:44] <vishap> before i've tried release-manager -d but in failed.
[17:44] <vishap> window closes.
[17:44] <daftykins> Guest27250: just select manual partitioning in the installer, put no swap on the flash drive and be sure to select it as the device to put GRUB on
[17:44] <vishap> update-manager, sorry
[17:44] <daftykins> vishap: no, -d is to move to the latest development release, don't do that :)
[17:44] <daftykins> vishap: 14.04 is LTS, why does this person want to move to non-LTS?
[17:45] <vishap> hm, how to go to unicorn so that i can go to vivid later?
[17:45] <vishap> he wants vivid
[17:45] <Guest27250> daftykins, thanks for you help but does ubiquity install a clean version on my disk or is it installing my already installed ubuntu on that?
[17:45] <daftykins> !eolupgrade | vishap have a read here
[17:46] <daftykins> Guest27250: i already answered that.
[17:46] <Guest27250> you didnt
[17:46] <daftykins> i did
 Guest27250: of course not
[17:46] <Guest27250> of course not what?
[17:46] <SchrodingersScat> Guest27250: you could also make a virtualmachine that reads the livecd image, give it access to your USB device, let it install to usb.  and variations of that.
[17:46] <vishap> so i cannot go to vivid?
[17:46]  * daftykins facepalms
[17:46] <Guest27250> SchrodingersScat, pc to slow for that thx
[17:47] <daftykins> vishap: if your friend is on 14.04 right now, you must go to 14.10 via the eolupgrade link above, then to 15.04.
[17:47] <vishap> thank you.
[17:47] <daftykins> vishap: however leaving LTS i would not advise
[17:47] <pjz> Guest27250: daftykins said that in response to your question < Guest27250> but it dont copy my already installed ubuntu on that drive right?
[17:47] <adrian_1908> Guest27250: you pop in a CD and point the installer to your stick. Why would it involve your harddrive data?
[17:47] <paws> hello, I am trying to connect to ubuntu's ftp server (vsftp) and i am asked to enter my username and password, i do it and than it does not connect me... why is it doing this?
[17:48] <daftykins> adrian_1908: no this is installing ubiquity atop an install, to skip using media
[17:48] <Guest27250> pjz, thank you sir
[17:48] <Guest27250> daftykins, thanks for your help
[17:48] <drnapster> quick question. i have tested this in unity and mate across 4 computers and when i install an app i have to reboot before it will show up in the application list please tell me there is a fix
[17:48] <Guest27250> cya all
[17:48] <adrian_1908> daftykins: oh ok, I wasn't aware. my had.
[17:48] <daftykins> paws: the logs should say, maybe that user does not exist - you need to create some, it doesn't use system users already
[17:48] <daftykins> paws: sure SFTP/SCP wouldn't have been more useful?
[17:49] <paws> agh it has to be ftp
[17:49] <paws> let me check my logs brb
[17:50] <k1n12> hii
[17:51] <teemo> in bash how do I repeat a command until it suceeds?
[17:51] <k1n12> hola?
[17:51] <teemo> inb4 !list
[17:51] <daftykins> teemo: such as what?
[17:52] <teemo> e.g. curl, until the file becomes available remotely
[17:52] <teemo> that's not what I'm doing but that's a good example
[17:52] <daftykins> would you not just be patient :)
[17:52] <teemo> that's not what I'm doing but that's a good example
[17:52] <teemo> I do specifically need to do this
[17:53] <teemo> I need to go home and I can't have this command just be looping all night
[17:53] <teemo> But at some point in the next hour it will work
[17:53] <teemo> I need it to keep trying until it works, and then quit
[17:53] <teemo> or at least stop
[17:54] <teemo> until command; do echo "failed"; done
[17:54] <teemo> got it ^
[17:54] <teemo> thanks rubber ducks
[17:54] <drnapster> i have tested this in unity and mate across 4 computers and when i install an app i have to reboot before it will show up in the application list please tell me there is a fix
[17:58] <drnapster> :( ok then
[17:58] <growlingflea> Hello all this is my first irc message
[18:05] <bindi> is there a realtime kernel for 15.10 in the official repos? or some semi-official ppa?
[18:05] <lotus|xenial> !mainline | bindi
[18:06] <bindi> there's no realtime there, lotus|xenial
[18:06] <bindi> I only see generic and lowlatency
[18:06] <BluesKaj> bindi, or even daily builds
[18:07] <moyan> exit
[18:13] <pjz> wow, okay, it must ahve been my ugprade of the nvidia drivers
[18:13] <pjz> which fscked everything
[18:13] <pjz> b/c video works after purging them
[18:13] <pjz> I'm guessing I'm on the vesa drivers now
[18:14] <lotus|xenial> pjz: if you have an nvidia card, you need an nvidia driver
[18:15] <pjz> oh, looks like I'm on the nouveau driver now
[18:15] <lotus|xenial> pjz: did you check your additional drivers list?
[18:15] <lotus|xenial> pjz: ah ok good, try a 1080p youtube to test
[18:19] <pjz> hm, can't fina a 1080p one, but eh 720p ones work
[18:19] <pjz> but it can't see my exteernal monitor
[18:19] <pjz> (i;m on a laptop)
[18:19] <pjz> I guess I get to reinstall the nvidia driver(s)
[18:19] <lotus|xenial> !xrandr | pjz
[18:20] <lotus|xenial> pjz: you have a hdmi external monitor or vga/dvi?
[18:21] <Guest51949> 1

[18:22] <RafasnbBR> someone uses the ubuntu 15:10 on 10 parallels for mac?
[18:24] <lotus|xenial> RafasnbBR: ask your issue with it to the channel, you never know who can solve it
[18:24] <adrian_1908> Can I remove the file Xauthority in /run/user/1000/ ?
[18:25] <RafasnbBR> lotus|xenial: I can not solve the problem of installing the parallels-tools ...
[18:28] <linuxboytoo> Hey everyone - I have a script I need to run once until it exits with a 0 exit code. I am been messing with upstart for a while and can't get the right combination. I want the service to run in the background and then keep respawning the script until it completes successfully. I don't want the service waiting to start to block execution
[18:32] <juniorRubyist> Hello
[18:32] <juniorRubyist> hi there
[18:33] <lotus|xenial> juniorRubyist: you joined an ubuntu support channel
[18:33] <juniorRubyist> I think Xubuntu is awesome.
[18:33] <oberststen> He just want friends
[18:34] <lotus|xenial> !discuss | juniorRubyist
[18:34] <juniorRubyist> Alright!
[18:37] <CptRageToaster> booting while holding left Shift dumps me into grub's boot menu... right?
[18:37] <CptRageToaster> 14.04
[18:37] <lotus|xenial> CptRageToaster: yes
[18:37] <CptRageToaster> tyvm
[18:38] <adrian_1908> might be ESC actually, try.
[18:41] <kingjere> A look at my logs shows someone trying to log into my server via ssh as root. Is my server more likely a target of opportunity or is it more likely a chosen target?
[18:43] <k1l_> kingjere: disable root login at first. login from a user and use sudo if needed. then install fail2ban. which will block ip adresses that try to often wrong passwords.
[18:43] <k1l_> kingjere: we cant know if you server was just a random number or a target from someone. we dont know how many enemies you got :)
[18:44] <renn0xtk9> all when I do locale I got LANG=en_DE.UTF-8
[18:44] <renn0xtk9> i want to change ti to en_US.UTF-9
[18:45] <renn0xtk9> 8 sorry, how shoudl i do
[18:45] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: are you german speaking?
[18:45] <k1l_> en_DE is a funny combination :)
[18:45] <akik> renn0xtk9: look into /etc/default/locale
[18:46] <renn0xtk9> k1l_ It was set in german indeed but I wan everything in US now . Indeed  I don't know where it comes from, I changed the language from German to english in the settings of KDE
[18:47] <kingjere> k1l_: root login is disabled. I am looking at fail2ban now.
[18:47] <akik> kubuntu is funny in a way. during install it asks about my keyboard but changes the locale according to those settings
[18:47] <renn0xtk9> akik  well there it stands en_US.UTF-8
[18:47] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: run "sudo locale-gen en_US" and "sudo locale-gen en_US-UTF8"  then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales"
[18:50] <renn0xtk9> k1l_ all three done but still got this: http://pastebin.com/TLGrc8tK
[18:50] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: so it seems like LANG is set somewhere else
[18:50] <mekhami> how can i tell what clipboard manager i'm currently using
[18:51] <k1l_> sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
[18:52] <Apteryx> Dooes anyone know how to match my Apple Magic Mouse (bluetooth) inside a Xorg conf (using MatchProduct) or something along that?
[18:52] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: I just got a new USB stick. What do I format it as to be able to move files between my Ubuntu box and my Windows box?
[18:53] <Apteryx> VictoriaXOXO: Either NTFS (recommended if its > than 4GB) or good old FAT32
[18:53] <lotus|xenial> VictoriaXOXO: ntfs for files larger then 4gig
[18:54] <VictoriaXOXO> Apteryx: lotus|xenial: Okay, NTFS it is. Thanks. :)
[18:54] <renn0xtk9> it does not work :S
[18:54] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: nfts is fine
[18:55] <k1l_> its not the fastest solution on linux, but at least windows works best with it :)
[18:55] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: And using GParted to format it is fine?
[18:56] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: honestly i did not think that much about formating a usb so far, so i just used what came up first. but gparted is fine.
[18:57] <renn0xtk9> I try to restart the pc, see if that does it
[18:57] <jayjo> is there a way to copy all of the output from a GNU screen to a file?
[18:57] <lotus|xenial> VictoriaXOXO: gparted is pretty nice, formats devices even with problems
[18:58] <free29> jayyo
[18:58] <jayjo> I used hardcopy -h <filename> but it only copied the visible buffer
[18:58] <jayjo> I want to scroll the whole way up
[18:58] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Uh. This stick is "new" as in "new for me" (from sister). GParted wants me to create a partition table(?) and gives me a list. What do I choose?
[18:58] <free29> has used screenhot app?
[18:58] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: some msdos thing will do.
[18:58] <lotus|xenial> free29: you search a screenshot app?
[18:58] <free29> have u tried screenshot app?
[18:58] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: msdos it is.
[18:58] <akik> jayjo: ctrl+a shift+h <- that creates a screenlog.0 in your home dir
[18:58] <kingjere> I guess that is what is refferred to as a script kiddie.
[18:59] <Mati89> VictoriaXOXO: vsync issues gone? :) i have fixed mine, yay
[18:59] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: here is a pictured how to with the "disks" utility http://askubuntu.com/questions/68809/how-to-format-a-usb-or-external-drive
[19:01] <VictoriaXOXO> Mati89: Yes, it's GONE! :D :D
[19:02] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Thanks. Using GParted to format it as ntfs, it changed name from /dev/sdb to /dev/sdb1. Is that normal?
[19:02] <Mati89> VictoriaXOXO: good to hear, well done
[19:02] <renn0xtk9> so I have to declare ubuntu officially not able to change the LANG option .,,,
[19:02] <VictoriaXOXO> Mati89: :D
[19:03] <akik> jayjo: if you want to write the current copy buffer to file: ctrl+a : then hardcopy -h logfile
[19:03] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: what do you mean?
[19:03] <akik> jayjo: it's hard to write this :) separately "ctrl+a" ":" "hardcopy -h logfile"
[19:04] <renn0xtk9> nicomachus well I have LANG=en_DE.UTF-8 impossible to change it to en_US.UTF-8
[19:05] <akik> renn0xtk9: did you look into your home dir if e.g. you have the locale variables defined in .bashrc ?
[19:05] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Thanks. Using GParted to format it as ntfs, it changed name from /dev/sdb to /dev/sdb1. Is that normal?
[19:06] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: yes
[19:06] <JesusSavesMe> hi
[19:06] <renn0xtk9> yeah I did
[19:06] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Perfect. Hey, k1l_. Can I ask you a question in pm? It should be quick and easy.
[19:06] <JesusSavesMe> GOD BLESS YOU!
[19:07] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: look into /etc/environment , .profile , .bashrc , .bash_profile
[19:07] <nicomachus> JesusSavesMe: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[19:07] <nicomachus> !pm | VictoriaXOXO
[19:08] <k1l_> locales is still a mess when it goes bad :X some day some one should fix that :)
[19:09] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: you can ask it in here
[19:10] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: It's private... Forget about it. :P
[19:10] <renn0xtk9> k1_l nothing in those
[19:11] <akik> renn0xtk9: create a new user and see what locale it gets
[19:13] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: sudo update-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_US" then sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[19:15] <k1l_> renn0xtk9: look into /etc/default/locale and .pam_environment
[19:15] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: /dev/sdx = disk, sdx1 = partition 1
[19:15] <k1l_> did i say locales are a mess on linux? o_O
[19:15] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: So perfectly normal?
[19:16] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: you can't have a file system without a partition, yes.
[19:16] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Okay, great. I'll just leave it then.
[19:17] <renn0xtk9> new users locale is en_US.UTF-8 for everything
[19:18] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: daftykins: Two more questions. 1. Is it normal that 68,5 MB is used after a clean format? 2. How do I rename the USB stick after it gets mounted?
[19:18] <daftykins> yes with NTFS, that's the file system journal
[19:18] <daftykins> mount point name or volume name?
[19:19] <VictoriaXOXO> Uhm. The name that shows up on the desktop when mounting it. Is that the... volume name?
[19:19] <unlevin> ))
[19:19] <Mati89> right click -> rename? ;)
[19:19] <JesusSavesMe> Hi i want to install older linux kernel but it says: dependency not satisfiable
[19:20] <VictoriaXOXO> Rename... is grayed out.
[19:20] <akik> renn0xtk9: so you're closing in on the solution :)
[19:20] <daftykins> type "mount" in the terminal
[19:20] <Mati89> hm, if you unmount it first?
[19:20] <lotus|xenial> JesusSavesMe: what are you trying to do?
[19:20] <akik> renn0xtk9: try "grep -r -i lang $HOME" if it returns any matches
[19:20] <JesusSavesMe> lotus|xenial, install kernel
[19:21] <lotus|xenial> JesusSavesMe: wich one on wich ubuntu version??
[19:21] <JesusSavesMe> lotus|xenial, older
[19:21] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: /dev/sdb1 on /media/anon/backupstick type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
[19:21] <akik> renn0xtk9: it can also be a variable called LC_ALL which changes multiple variables at once
[19:21] <lotus|xenial> !details | JesusSavesMe
[19:21] <JesusSavesMe> lotus|xenial, older kernel
[19:21] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: and you want to change what, "backupstick" ?
[19:22] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Yeah.
[19:22] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" then go use the disk utility perhaps
[19:22] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Okay.
[19:23] <lotus|xenial> !mainline | JesusSavesMe
[19:23] <akik> VictoriaXOXO: it's the volume label
[19:23] <renn0xtk9> akik there are loads of matches but I find this line intersting:
[19:23] <JesusSavesMe> lotus|xenial, nevermind i solved
[19:23] <renn0xtk9> $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kconf_update/log/update.log:2015-11-15T12:33:54 [Script]      LANG = "en_DE.UTF-8"
[19:23] <renn0xtk9> < any idea wtf
[19:24] <akik> renn0xtk9: sorry, no
[19:24] <renn0xtk9> Allright lets give up on that and go to something harder.:
[19:24] <renn0xtk9> Anybody an idea why logkeys is not outputing anything at all ?
[19:25] <akik> renn0xtk9: if you don't find a way to set it, you can reset your kde settings by renaming .kde to .kde.bak. kde will recreate it with default settings
[19:26] <akik> renn0xtk9: unless the default settings include en_DE :)
[19:26] <mekhami> i have some extremely weird stuff going on. everyone's dead in freenode so i have nowhere to really ask questions, but.. I'm using i3 wm, terminator, base16 color scheme. if i source my zshrc that enables 256 colors, cool, everything works. but if i switch windows to another terminal, it goes back to the default. i'm so confused.
[19:27] <renn0xtk9> akik that would not suprise me being given the "rigourous" developement of KDE I see some times ;)
[19:27] <renn0xtk9> hwo can I know which one is my keyboard among all the /dev/input/eventY ?
[19:29] <akik> renn0xtk9: wild guess, look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:29] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: I had to unmount it in GParted and change the "Label" option.
[19:29] <daftykins> that's essentially what i said.
[19:30] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Yeah. Well, it's all done now. XD
[19:30] <daftykins> then all is well with the world!
[19:30] <VictoriaXOXO> Yeah! :D
[19:31] <VictoriaXOXO> Just one more (one more really annoying) PC-related problem, but that has nothing to do with this channel.
[19:31] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: mine is event6. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[19:32] <daftykins> sort the tearing out yet?
[19:32] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Yeah, it's gone now. Finally.
[19:32] <renn0xtk9> thanks akik  mine is 8
[19:32] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: which method worked?
[19:33] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: You won't like it. I had to choose the latest (recommended) driver AND change a line or two in xorg.conf. Don't hurt me.
[19:33] <daftykins> which specifically...
[19:33] <VictoriaXOXO> But it works, for now. So I'll leave it till it breaks.
[19:34] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: I would have to look it up and come back.
[19:34] <daftykins> or just pastebin the file
[19:35] <VictoriaXOXO> daftykins: Let me feel relaxed for at least a day or two before you butcher my xorg.conf file. XD
[19:35] <VictoriaXOXO> I don't want to hear "DO NOT USE THAT!".
[19:35] <daftykins> i want to know what's in it in case someone comes in with the same query again
[19:35] <daftykins> but apparently that is too much to ask, forget it.
[19:35] <panic_station> #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:36] <akik> renn0xtk9: you can use "xinput" to list the devices
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> No, panic_station. We are done now.
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> I can sort it out with daftykins later.
[19:36] <panic_station> i mistyped, sorry
[19:36] <nicomachus> VictoriaXOXO: I think he was trying to join that channel.
[19:36] <daftykins> VictoriaXOXO: that user just joined so has nothing to do with the convo.
[19:36] <panic_station> exactly
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> Oh, sorry.
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> XD
[19:36] <panic_station> sorry bout that
[19:36] <VictoriaXOXO> Sorry.
[19:37] <panic_station> what topic are we discussing at the moment?
[19:37] <VictoriaXOXO> Last 10 minutes have been pretty quiet. Just me rambling, but I'll shut up now.
[19:38] <OerHeks> panic_station, you just read it on top.
[19:38] <OerHeks> Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[19:38] <daftykins> all day long it's support, then at night... all night long support!
[19:38] <nicomachus> but is it day or night?
[19:38] <daftykins> both and neither
[19:39] <panic_station> so then, anyone else use PCSX on Trusty 14.04
[19:39] <lotus|xenial> 24/7 support here
[19:39] <nicomachus> so existential
[19:39] <panic_station> cause im running into a peculiar issue
[19:39] <theunkn0wn> #opiceisis
[19:40] <daftykins> theunkn0wn: ?
[19:40] <lotus|xenial> theunkn0wn: i think you want #opparis
[19:40] <theunkn0wn> Yea lol
[19:40] <theunkn0wn> what server is that mate
[19:40] <theunkn0wn> it wont let me join it
[19:40] <VictoriaXOXO> anonnet?
[19:41] <OerHeks> theunkn0wn, maybe you need to register with Freenode
[19:41] <OerHeks> !register
[19:41] <theunkn0wn> Its let me in now
[19:41] <nicomachus> enjoy...
[19:41] <OerHeks> oke solved then
[19:41] <theunkn0wn> Thanks :D
[19:41] <OerHeks> don't bother us with that.
[19:41] <renn0xtk9> somebody has ever used logkeys    I can't manage to get a proper output
[19:42] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: what kind of output are you looking for?
[19:42] <nicomachus> and did you set the logfile location?
[19:43] <renn0xtk9> nichomachus no but I look at /var/log/logkeys.log
[19:43] <juniorRubyist> I need help setting up an IRC server on Ubuntu Desktop
[19:43] <renn0xtk9> it is writting things but It seems like the character do not correspond
[19:43] <renn0xtk9> I have a USB (extermal) keybaord on a laptop
[19:43] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: you need to specify a log location. see this post for more info: https://askubuntu.com/questions/14312/how-to-run-logkeys
[19:45] <fusioned> if anyone uses PCSX or ePSXe on Ubuntu Trusty, please send me a DM. id like to go over some things

[19:45] <lotus|xenial> juniorRubyist: find a specific ircd software channel
[19:45] <OerHeks> juniorRubyist, more a question for #ubuntu-server

[19:47] <juniorRubyist> dprophecyguy
[19:47] <daftykins> dprophecyguy: please do not spam with the enter key so much, paste in channel... or repeat regularly
[19:48] <lotus|xenial> juniorRubyist: apt-cache search ircd
[19:48] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: yes, what OerHeks said. You need to set your keymap.
[19:48] <dprophecyguy> daftykins: do you know any solution to the problem
[19:48] <juniorRubyist> Try restarting your computer, enter Recovery from GRUB and choose dpkg
[19:48] <theunkn0wn> Anyone know a good Anon email service to use free?
[19:48] <lotus|xenial> !ot | theunkn0wn
[19:48] <juniorRubyist> fmail.com?
[19:49] <renn0xtk9> OerHeks which url ?
[19:49] <daftykins> dprophecyguy: it wasn't described well.
[19:49] <nicomachus> dprophecyguy: try `sudo dpkg --configure -a`
[19:49] <OerHeks> renn0xtk9, read back?
[19:49] <juniorRubyist> dprophecyguy what nicomachus said will work
[19:49] <OerHeks> especially the lines with your name in it :-)
[19:50] <dprophecyguy> here is the error i am getting while installing git on my ubuntu 15.04
[19:50] <dprophecyguy> Setting up runit (2.1.2-3ubuntu1) ... start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused dpkg: error processing package runit (--configure):  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of git-daemon-run:  git-daemon-run depends on runit; however:   Package runit is not configured yet.  dpkg: error
[19:50] <nicomachus> shoot, dprophecyguy: --reconfigure, not --configure
[19:50] <dfinninger> alright... this question might get a little dicey... but I'm writing an app for 14.04 - should I use Upstart, SysV, or Systemd to control the service?
[19:51] <dfinninger> I know that 15.04 swapped out the init system for Systemd - just looking for something that will be maintainable into the future
[19:51] <MonsieurBon> Hi
[19:52] <daftykins> dprophecyguy: please stop the repetition
[19:52] <OerHeks> dfinninger, do both, upstart & systemD
[19:52] <bekks> dfinninger: 14.04 uses upstart and is supported for 5 years.
[19:52] <MonsieurBon> Does anyone know how to change the from email address for logcheck?
[19:52] <dprophecyguy> nicomachus : can you explain it how to --reconfigure i am new with ubuntu
[19:53] <juniorRubyist> sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a
[19:53] <dprophecyguy> daftykins : you said it wasn't describe well
[19:53] <nicomachus> dprophecyguy: in a terminal, type in: sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a
[19:53] <nicomachus> then try to install again
[19:53] <dfinninger> OerHeks, bekks: alright, I've got experience with Upstart, I'll do that, thanks
[19:53] <renn0xtk9> OerHeks Sorry can't see where you post an url :S  i don't understand
[19:54] <dprophecyguy> nicomachus : thanks a lot mate
[19:54] <nicomachus> renn0xtk9: the URL i sent you. here is another: https://askubuntu.com/questions/136782/logkeys-not-working-in-12-04
[19:54] <OerHeks> renn0xtk9, i just cleared my screen, sorry, i did not post it
[19:54] <Yaiyan> I'm installing kubuntu, and doing the partitioning
[19:54] <juniorRubyist> Yaiyan are you doing dualboot?
[19:55] <Yaiyan> I didn't touch anything on /dev/sdb in the dialog at all, but when I press "install now", it says the swap partition on sdb is being formatted
[19:55] <Yaiyan> juniorRubyist, well, after partitioning this it's somewhat more than dualboot, but yeah
[19:57] <Yaiyan> Is it normal for it to be formatting swap on another disk, when I didn't change the settings for that at all?
[20:01] <OerHeks> Yaiyan, if your story is true, sdb is unlogical
[20:02] <renn0xtk9> OerHeks nichomachus got it! thanks mate, surprisingly --us-keymap was not working but en_GB seems to do the job
[20:03] <fwed> hello everyone, I just installed the system and there is no 'additional drivers' there, therefore no wifi networks shown. I know this from earlier, but is this still common?
[20:04] <compdoc> I think additional drivers is video card
[20:05] <Yaiyan> OerHeks, sdb is one of the disk, 4 partitions+swap, so one is probably unlogical
[20:05] <Yaiyan> Is there a way to check?
[20:06] <fwed> how can I bring wifi nw back?
[20:06] <Yaiyan> *other disks
[20:09] <akik> Yaiyan: not sure about a two disk setup but if i have a swap partition on /dev/sda during install and don't touch it, it will get used as swap
[20:10] <Yaiyan> akik, so it's nothing to be worried about?
[20:10] <Yaiyan> Partitioning always makes me nervous..
[20:10] <fwed> I have no network and looking for terminal and why does the dash show me a bunch of trash including weather channel?
[20:11] <akik> Yaiyan: well it just probably used mkswap and swapon on it. nothing special. you're safe :)
[20:11] <ioria> fwed, sudo lshw -c network ?
[20:12] <Yaiyan> akik, thanks :)
[20:12] <fwed> seriously...http://is.gd/Q9695x
[20:13] <bekks> fwed: you can customize that behaviour.
[20:13] <fwed> bekks, yes, one has time to customize everything, theoretically.
[20:13] <ioria> fwed, dpkg -l gnome-terminal
[20:13] <fwed> ioria, I have no terminal. cause I cant make it appear!
[20:13] <bekks> fwed: In real life, that can be done within a minute.
[20:14] <ioria> fwed, alt+f2
[20:14] <Yaiyan> After installing this+3 other distros on this disk I'll have 11 OS's installed
[20:14] <fwed> bekks, I quit. you win. fair enough
[20:14] <Yaiyan> 9 of which will be Ubuntu variants/very old versions :D
[20:14] <fwed> ioaria, can I find a terminal somehow?
[20:14] <ioria> fwed, alt+f2   xterm or gnome-terminal
[20:15] <ioria> fwed, if you are ubuntu....
[20:15] <fusioned> what games do you guys play in ubuntu usually, if at all?
[20:15] <fusioned> be it emulated via WINE, naitive, or whatever
[20:15] <lotus|xenial> fusioned: steam, playonlinux,wine
[20:16] <Yaiyan> ctrl+alt+f1 should be another terminal
[20:16] <fusioned> i use wine, playonlinux etc too
[20:16] <Yaiyan> Oh
[20:16] <Yaiyan> ctrl+alt+f7 after ctrl+alt+f1
[20:16] <fusioned> like, what titles? im big on quake 1, brutal doom and doom wads, and PSX games via emulator
[20:16] <VictoriaXOXO> fusioned: "emulated via WINE". :P Do you know what WINE stands for? ;)
[20:16] <fwed> logging out to see if the mess clears
[20:17] <fusioned> WINE IS NOT AN EMULATOR! :P
[20:17] <fusioned> heh
[20:17] <VictoriaXOXO> Yeah!
[20:17] <fusioned> semantics
[20:17] <lotus|xenial> !discuss | fusioned
[20:17] <Yaiyan> I remember my cousin had a script that could port windows games to linux
[20:17] <Yaiyan> So I imagine he played a fair few games with that
[20:18] <grigoris> grigoris
[20:18] <fwed> ioria, now I have a terminal. could I have the command again, please? sorry..I should have noted it
[20:18] <ioria> fwed, sudo lshw -c network ?
[20:18] <fwed> trying now
[20:18] <fwed> thank you
[20:20] <fwed> ioria, I got this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352095/
[20:21] <ioria> fwed, your wifi card is not recognized
[20:23] <fwed> ioria, it is not a new machine. It never happened before. how can I fix it?
[20:23] <ioria> fwed, but it should be....
[20:24] <ioria> fwed, it's a fresh install ?
[20:24] <fwed> ioria, yes, but the computer is the same one
[20:24] <ioria> fwed, uname -r ?
[20:25] <fwed> ioaria, '3.19.0-31-generic'
[20:25] <ioria> fwed, why did you install vivid ?
[20:25] <NYTimes> hey I'm looking for links to understand proxy servers
[20:25] <NeedHelp> Hi, folks!
[20:26] <jct500thz> Ubuntu software center isn't asking me for passwords like it usually does... and when I try to install something, it tells me something like I don't have the right permissions.
[20:26] <fwed> fwed, what is vivid?
[20:26] <fwed> the next distro-upgrade?
[20:26] <ioria> fwed, cat /etc/issue ?
[20:26] <bekks> !vivid | fwed
[20:26] <EriC^^> jct500thz: does your user have sudo privileges?
[20:27] <jct500thz> Yes.
[20:27] <Guest71248> Does anyone recognize  STM_d XfO folder in xubuntu?
[20:27] <EriC^^> type groups
[20:27] <jct500thz> EriC^^, in a terminal?
[20:27] <EriC^^> yeah
[20:27] <kisb> jct500thz, do you not know your password?
[20:27] <jct500thz> kisb, I know my password. it isn't giving me a box to enter it into.
[20:28] <fwed> ioria, if I selected the wrong download, I cant believe I overlooked it.
[20:28] <jct500thz> jct500thz adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare @ kisb and EriC^^
[20:28] <ioria> fwed, try 14.04 if you want lts, or 15.10
[20:30] <jct500thz> actually, speaking of one of the groups, how do I samba share?
[20:30] <Cossan> I've found a folder named  STM_d XfO in home. It's loading all the time, I can't see the files. Does anyone recognize it?
[20:30] <fwed> ioria, sure, I didnt want to install 15.04..but does this have to do with the wifi problem?
[20:30] <ioria> fwed, only a way to know....
[20:30] <user_> hi guys, does alsamixer has a gui equivalent of its curses interface?
[20:30] <ioria> fwed, cat /etc/issue ?
[20:31] <fwed> checking
[20:31] <fwed> ioria 'Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l'
[20:31] <fwed> it is not vivid, then?
[20:32] <ioria> fwed, trusty witn enab stack of vivid
[20:33] <fwed> is that the usual case?
[20:33] <jct500thz> I'm looking around the Xubuntu control panel for something to figure this out.
[20:34] <bekks> jct500thz: Open a terminal, configure your samba shares in the samba configuration file.
[20:34] <Yaiyan> Is it possible to update 14.04 to 15.10?
[20:34] <Yaiyan> Or do I have to wait for 16.04
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> jct500thz  or try gigolo
[20:35] <jct500thz> MonkeyDust, what's gigolo?
[20:35] <bekks> Yaiyan: 14.04 -> 14.10 -> 15.04 -> 15.10
[20:35] <lotus|xenial> user_: maybe pavucontrol?
[20:35] <bekks> Yaiyan: But 14.10 is EOL already.
[20:35] <Yaiyan> bekks, it can still be updated to 14.10?
[20:35] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Do you enable ufw after a fresh install? Yes? Why? No? Why not?
[20:35] <MonkeyDust> !info gigolo | jct500thz
[20:35] <bekks> !eolupgrades | Yaiyan
[20:36] <ioria> fwed, don't  remember .... i'm on the same with 3.16.0-53-generic
[20:36] <lotus|xenial> !security | VictoriaXOXO
[20:36] <fwed> so how can I get wifi?
[20:37] <Yaiyan> Huhm, I'll probably wait till 16.04 then
[20:37] <Yaiyan> Anyway, I just finished install Kubuntu, but it hasn't appeared in grub
[20:37] <fwed> and why do I have this problem? it was years ago last time I had to manually install drivers, I think at 10.10.
[20:37] <MonkeyDust> !wifi | fwed start here
[20:38] <fwed> MonkeyDust, I need a solution to get wifi started
[20:38] <fwed> If someone knows it I will be grateful
[20:38] <ioria> fwed, try sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi ; sudo modprobe iwlwifi
[20:38] <nicomachus> fwed: I've been away, but what type of wifi card are you using? is it built-in or a USB dongle?
[20:40] <fwed> ioria, it gave this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352402/
[20:40] <fwed> nicomachus, I dont know if this is informative for your question: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352095/
[20:41] <fwed> but it's built-in, not usb
[20:41] <ioria> fwed, sudo modprobe iwlagn
[20:41] <fwed> ioria: 'modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:556 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/3.19.0-31-generic/modules.dep.bin'
[20:42] <jct500thz> How do I set myself to root?
[20:42] <lotus|xenial> !sudo | jct500thz
[20:42] <jct500thz> Is there any way to do it permanently?
[20:42] <harduim> jct500thz, sudo bash
[20:42] <ioria> fwed, it'a virtual box ?
[20:43] <fwed> ioria, no, it's desktop install
[20:43] <nicomachus> fwed: you don't have a driver on that card, so it's showing as unclaimed. There's no driver installed at all. ioria: modprobe isn't going to find a driver that doesn't exist.
[20:43] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: why do you need permament root?
[20:43] <harduim> jct500thz, But I would not recommend doing that if not necessary
[20:43] <ioria> ok
[20:43] <jct500thz> Because some apps have trouble with permissions.
[20:43] <harduim> jct500thz, Like what?
[20:44] <ioria> nicomachus, but it's an old card ... the module should be loaded
[20:44] <fwed> nicomachus, yes, as I said earlier, no drivers are shown in 'additional drivers'
[20:44] <jct500thz> Ubuntu Software Center won't work right. Says I don't have the right permissions.
[20:45] <nicomachus> fwed: because that only lists proprietary drivers.
[20:45] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: ubuntu version? are you the admin of the pc?
[20:45] <kisb> use terminal or synaptic
[20:45] <nicomachus> fwed: sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
[20:45] <harduim> jct500thz, Thats strange, it should work right out of the box
[20:45] <jct500thz> I'm using Xubuntu and I'm the only user. Been using it for a year now.
[20:46] <jct500thz> Started this error...
[20:46] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: xubuntu version?
[20:46] <ioria> it's for debian
[20:47] <Yaiyan> Just noticed compiz is installed on Ubuntu still
[20:47] <fwed> nicomachus, unable to locate the package: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352523/
[20:47] <ioria> !info firmware-iwlwifi trusty
[20:47]  * Yaiyan starts hunting for wobbly window option
[20:47] <nicomachus> fwed: yea, my bad that's the debian name.
[20:47] <lotus|xenial> Yaiyan: compiz-plugins-extra
[20:47] <aarobc> So, I tried using kernel 4.1, then after I removed it there was no option to boot ubuntu in grub. I know I have other kernels installed, but I wasn't able to get that working. I booted from a live usb and am currently attempting to run boot repair as instructed in the docs, but it's currently hanging at "Purge kernels then reinstall last kernel sda1 (ins). This may require several minutes.."
[20:47] <nicomachus> fwed: cd into /lib/firmware and then ls *.ucode
[20:47] <nicomachus> what's the output?
[20:47] <aarobc> It's been saying that for a bout three hours now
[20:47] <Yaiyan> lotus|xenial, awesome
[20:48] <Yaiyan> Been too long since I last tried those :D
[20:48] <lotus|xenial> Yaiyan: and install ccsm also to enable it
[20:48] <lotus|xenial> Yaiyan: after enable wobbly, system might freeze and you need reboot
[20:48] <Yaiyan> Oh, ok
[20:49] <fwed> nicomachus, gives this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352561/
[20:49] <jct500thz> it's not..
[20:49] <jct500thz> it's not letting me install anything.
[20:49] <Yaiyan> In my mind compiz and wobbly are synonymous tbh
[20:49] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: xubuntu version?
[20:49] <jct500thz> xubuntu version of what?
[20:49] <harduim> jct500thz, And what about apt ??
[20:49] <Snide_> Been a long time windows user who's experimented with redhat/fedora for a short while but went back to windows. Recently I Installed 15.10 and got most of the programs and drivers I need for steam and other unsupported DirectX games, I was just wondering if there were any suggested KDE's or software I should look into being fresh into 15.10
[20:49] <nicomachus> fwed: ok. then sudo modprobe iwlwifi and see if it returns an error
[20:50] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: lsb_release -a
[20:50] <jct500thz> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[20:50] <fwed> nicomachus, yes, it did: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352591/

[20:50] <jct500thz> Codename:	trusty
[20:51] <MonkeyDust> jct500thz  next time, use a pastebin for multiple lines
[20:51] <jct500thz> Sorry about that, MonkeyDust.
[20:52] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: try launching software center from terminal to see errors
[20:52] <wmorri> Snide_, I don't exactly understand your question. KDE is a desktop environment.
[20:52] <fwed> nicomachus, I will try a reboot
[20:53] <nicomachus> fwed: first try sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-3.19.0-31
[20:54] <jct500thz> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=zvT8tpcJ
[20:54] <fwed> nicomachus, ok, underway
[20:54] <jct500thz> It's giving me that error. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=zvT8tpcJ
[20:54] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Do you enable ufw after a fresh install? Yes? Why? No? Why not?
[20:55] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: no, the average jo doesnt need to switch a lot settings there. the standard ubuntu is pretty much set up already
[20:55] <jct500thz> lotus|xenial, what's the terminal command for software center?
[20:55] <Snide_> @wmorri I was more or less talking about in general where some noob resources might be and or some suggestions on what I should be doing if I were going for a gaming/performance approach to customizing ubuntu
[20:55] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Oh, okay. Nice. :)
[20:56] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: if you dont have a program listening on a port the port is "closed" anyway. so no  need to worry about it
[20:56] <lotus|xenial> jct500thz: software-center
[20:56] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: But I'm not any LESS secure by just doing "sudo ufw enable", am I?
[20:57] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: in most cases you block stuff then you not want to be blocked :)
[20:57] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Ohhhhhh... :|
[20:58] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: so you need to read a lot manuals how to enable only your stuff again. if you want that to learn etc then go ahead. it doesnt harm. but the standard settings are quit good balanced
[20:58] <nicomachus> fwed: when that's done, try sudo modprobe iwlwifi again
[20:58] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Okay. Thanks. :)
[20:58] <fwed> nicomachus, still error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13352739/
[20:59] <jct500thz> I launched software-center in #: and I think that fixed the problem.
[21:00] <jct500thz> Thanks for the help!
[21:00] <jct500thz> I was able to install Steam
[21:00] <nicomachus> fwed: perhaps 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up'? otherwise I'm out of ideas and have to take off for a meeting

[21:12] <MonkeyDust> waressearcher2  not really, your question caught my attention, i was curious
[21:12] <jnhghy> waressearcher2: don't think so ... computer woks just fine ... including after effects ...
[21:12] <jnhghy> waressearcher2: just checked everything seems quite cool
[21:13] <genii> Maybe your PSU is inadequate for the task
[21:13] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: How would one view the contents of a .xpi file in Ubuntu 14.04?
[21:14] <BluesKaj> jnhghy, make sure you have the correct driver for the graphics card installed , is it the same brand as the previous , or is it new /
[21:14] <jnhghy> genii: and freezes downloads over 10mb over? might be... but I don't see a reason...
[21:14] <genii> VictoriaXOXO: They are just zip files
[21:14] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: So... I unzip it?
[21:15] <jnhghy> BluesKaj: that might be the issue... I'm trying to download it's driver .. but it's not working on this computer... I'll
[21:15] <jnhghy> give it a try on my laptop..
[21:15] <BluesKaj> which card is it ?
[21:15] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: Hey! That worked! :D
[21:16] <jnhghy> BluesKaj: nvidia 420
[21:17] <BluesKaj> jnhghy, the driver should be available in the repos
[21:17] <BluesKaj> package manager
[21:18] <BluesKaj> jnhghy, sudo apt install nvidia-340
[21:18] <jnhghy> BluesKaj: I'm downloading it on my desktop: just got feedback from chrome on a download: "Failed - Network timeout", I'm trying to install it now
[21:19] <BluesKaj> don't install the driver from the nvidia site,
[21:19] <BluesKaj> jnhghy,\
[21:20] <genii> VictoriaXOXO: Now you know :)
[21:20] <jnhghy> BluesKaj: can you give a little help on this please: nvidia-340 : Depends: lib32gcc1 but it is not going to be installed
[21:21] <KzadorDmalditos> hola?
[21:21] <lotus|xenial> !es | KzadorDmalditos
[21:22] <OerHeks> jnhghy, don't use the driver from the nvidia website, use the build-in driver tool
[21:22] <BluesKaj> jnhghy, try sudo apt install lib32gcc1
[21:22] <Miron> ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[21:23] <BluesKaj> OerHeks, he's trying to install the nvidia-340 with apt
[21:23] <genii> Sounds like multiarch is missing or only set for 64bit
[21:23] <BluesKaj> yeah
[21:24] <OerHeks> BluesKaj, if that gcc is missing, it looks like the update server used is not up-to-date, or he added 32 bit environment
[21:25] <BluesKaj> then he m=needs to instal multiarch iguess...gotta gofor  afew mins. bbl
[21:26] <genii> jnhghy: Can you pastebin the results of: apt-config dump | grep Architecture
[21:26] <jnhghy> 1 sec genii
[21:27] <genii> Don't forget to uppercase that A in Architecture
[21:27] <jnhghy> genii: this is what I got: http://pastebin.com/xid8pJnJ
[21:28] <genii> So that's normal, and contains both, as it should.
[21:28] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: How long are Ubuntu Pastebin texts stored? Forever?
[21:29] <genii> jnhghy: How about result of: apt-cache policy lib32gcc1     then please
[21:29] <jnhghy> genii: I notice I get strange results on apt-get update: http://pastebin.com/eYM2aFFW
[21:29] <genii> VictoriaXOXO: default is 24 hours
[21:30] <genii> jnhghy: That's normal, it means that some other place right now on the computer, updates are happening
[21:31] <jnhghy> genii: http://pastebin.com/Q17wBzsi well .. I don't see where are those updates happening :)
[21:31] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: But there's no option to manually choose? So how can it be defualt? :o
[21:31] <genii> jnhghy: Did you use sudo with that command?
[21:31] <jnhghy> yeah
[21:33] <jnhghy> genii: I did sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf  and now apt-get update works ...
[21:33] <genii> I was going to try finding out what was using it with lsof first, but I guess that works
[21:36] <jnhghy> genii: apt-get update doesn't go throw ... it freezes but after trying to run it for a few times now it found and started downloading and installing the nvidia driver ...
[21:36] <jnhghy> but that one freezes too :))
[21:36] <genii> VictoriaXOXO: Sorry, ubuntu pastebin has no time limit. The pastebin.com site is the 24 hour default
[21:37] <drdeo> t
[21:37] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: So how do we know how long they save it for? :P
[21:37] <jnhghy> genii: thanks for your efforts and time... really appreciate them!!!! I'll use my laptop to download the drive and try with it ... thanks again!
[21:37] <genii> jnhghy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5555555/  there's the very first one from when it was set up.
[21:38] <genii> Sorry, VictoriaXOXO^
[21:38] <VictoriaXOXO> genii: Booooooooo. I don't like that. :P
[21:38] <VictoriaXOXO> I'll use an alternative. Thanks.

[22:11] <threeminutemonta> computer randomly shutdown over night. Is there anyway to find out why / when. 14.04 LTS
[22:11] <halexander9000> Greetings. My apologies, but I'd very much appreciate it if someone could help me reinstall my graphics drivers on my original Ubuntu installation. I just bought an Nvidia graphics card, installed the drivers using this guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/149206/how-to-install-nvidia-run and since then I haven't been able to boot up neither with m
[22:11] <halexander9000> y integrated card or the one I bought :(
[22:11] <halexander9000> I'm using a usb stick right now.
[22:11] <halexander9000> On the ingrated graphics.
[22:19] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Did you purge the old driver prior to installing the new Nvidia graphic's card ?
[22:19] <halexander9000> I have not
[22:20] <halexander9000> I can however purge it now, using the ctrl-alt-f1
[22:20] <halexander9000> Then can I install it using this?
[22:20] <halexander9000> http://askubuntu.com/questions/66328/how-do-i-install-the-latest-nvidia-drivers-from-the-run-file
[22:20] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: What was the old card ? so we know the command to purge that old driver .
[22:20] <halexander9000> I have the .run file
[22:21] <halexander9000> It's the integrated hd4600
[22:21] <halexander9000> Intel
[22:22] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Generally speaking, installing a driver from OEM is the last resort . Drivers are available in our software repository .
[22:22] <halexander9000> Do I need to remove repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[22:22] <halexander9000> ?
[22:23] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Intel provides us with the latest drivers . There is usaually nothing that needs/can be done oth Intel. Intel just works .
[22:23] <halexander9000> Ah
[22:23] <halexander9000> I see.
[22:24] <halexander9000> Ok, so basically I need to do a "apt-get install intel-current" ?
[22:24] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Maintenance will be much easier if you install from repo . though PPA is also supported . 1st adviuse is yes .. ppa-purge ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates .
[22:25] <halexander9000> Or was it the xserver-xorg-video-intel
[22:25] <Bashing-om> advise*
[22:25] <halexander9000> Understood.
[22:25] <halexander9000> will ppa-purge.
[22:25] <halexander9000> Then shall I "apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" ?
[22:26] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: What release are you running ?
[22:26] <halexander9000> I don't know for sure if 14.04 or 14.10, since I'm not running it currently.
[22:27] <halexander9000> I'm using a live version from a usb right now.
[22:27] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: 14.10 will be a problem as it is no longer supportd and repos are turned away .
[22:28] <halexander9000> I have access to my file-system, is there a way to check?
[22:29] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Sure . What in the install is ' cat /etc/issue ' ?
[22:29] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Is there a terminal command to check DE version PLUS what window manager and file manager I use?
[22:30] <VictoriaXOXO> Like a command to list all those things.
[22:30] <halexander9000> 15.04
[22:30] <halexander9000> Oh, right. I upgraded to that.
[22:30] <halexander9000> Huh
[22:30] <halexander9000> 15.04 it is then. For sure now.
[22:31] <BaGRoS> Hi. transmission-daemon saving files as debian-transmission:debian-transmission, how i can change this for nuc:nuc? I changed USER=root or nuc in /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon no result :?
[22:31] <MrCeeIII> hello all.. its me the noob again... I am trying to find a good program I can use to create an image file... backuop/clone for my comp
[22:32] <bekks> !backup | MrCeeIII
[22:34] <MrCeeIII> but whats the best way...
[22:35] <MrCeeIII> what are some free programs to uses to accomplish this... thanks
[22:36] <_unreal> hello, I've lost my touch pad some how? not sure how
[22:36] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: K; So we are back to what was originally . Us this machine of "optimus - hybrid graphics" originally, or are you choosing to go with Nvidia in lieu of Intel ?
[22:37] <_unreal> going into system/settings/mouse-touch pad show's mouse as being there and enabled as far as the touch pad goes but my touch pad is just not working
[22:37] <_unreal> any idea's on what I may do to solve this wierd issue
[22:37] <halexander9000> I wish to make the Nvidia function, but having the intel as a fall-back would be nice.
[22:38] <halexander9000> 750Ti
[22:38] <_unreal> ?
[22:39] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: IF this is not "optimus" not likely to have both in the fly .
[22:39] <halexander9000> Not both at the same time.
[22:39] <halexander9000> But if one doesn't function, I'd like to be able to switch the card in bios.
[22:42] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: That is doable in bios ( may have to move Nvidi's xorg.conf file out of the way ) .
[22:42] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Is there a terminal command to check DE version PLUS what window manager and file manager I use?
[22:42] <VictoriaXOXO> Like a command to list all those things.
[22:43] <ChunkzZ> what comes with ubuntu server?
[22:43] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: not an easy one.
[22:43] <k1l_> ChunkzZ: can you be more specific?
[22:43] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: Will work on removing the mess I made, and reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel    . Give me a few minutes please. And thank you for your help.
[22:43] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Any complicated ones then? :P
[22:44] <k1l_> echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
[22:44] <ChunkzZ> k1l_: I have an odroid xu4, arm device. I am running ubuntu mate but I removed mate and installed i3. but, would server be better? I mean, instead of removing mate etc I can build up myself...?
[22:44] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: NP .. what card is the Nvidia .. when ready we have the system verify and install the correct driver .
[22:45] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: XD "mate" is all the information I got.
[22:45] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: so you are running mate desktop
[22:46] <k1l_> ChunkzZ: ubuntu server is the same base system as the desktops got.
[22:46] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: How do I figure out all the other things? Am I using compiz? compton? Anything else?
[22:46] <ChunkzZ> k1l_: so I can sudo apt-get etc?
[22:46] <ChunkzZ> right?
[22:46] <k1l_> ChunkzZ: yes
[22:46] <ChunkzZ> awesome, thank you.
[22:47] <TheEagerPadawan> testing out the rdesktop package which allows you to connect to a host with rdp on the cli. Anyhoo, i'm trying to use a certain keymap but it fails to open so it reverts back to en-us
[22:48] <TheEagerPadawan> which uses a qwerty keyboard and i'm more familiar with an azerty
[22:48] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: It's this one http://www.msi.com/product/graphics-card/N750Ti-2GD5OCV1.html#hero-overview
[22:49] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I'm restarting now, wish me luck
[22:49] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: good question, that will need a lot of digging in the system.
[22:49] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Guuuulp.
[22:51] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: K, the driver for the 750ti is in 15.04's repo .
[22:57] <LtL> Bashing-om: which number/version driver is for the 750Ti?
[22:58] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: Operation successful, I have returned from the dead :D
[22:58] <bakasage> hello everyone, help me, please, solve broken dependencies (also i want libreoffice to be uninstalled). here's log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13354302/
[22:59] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I'm back to my old desk-top, just the way I left it.
[22:59] <Bashing-om> LtL: 352 version : see : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/95159/en-us .
[22:59] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: At least now I know how to return to the intel drivers.
[22:59] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: It works flawlessly.
[23:00] <LtL> Bashing-om: ok, i do show that one in additional drivers, thanks
[23:00] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Let's male sure the system sees the Nvidia card ; ' lspci | grep "VGA\|3D" ' .
[23:00] <halexander9000> Wilco
[23:01] <Bashing-om> LtL: Good deal .
[23:01] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I get a " grep: Invalid back reference
[23:01] <halexander9000>  "
[23:02] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Inecpected .. what about ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ' ?
[23:02] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: never mind, I ran it with just the "VGA" bit
[23:03] <kama3> halexander9000: wish you luck with that driver.. i have updated to that 352.63 (860m) on my 14.04 and after boot i'm entering "low graphics mode", X creates core dump with sigabrt. i have to go back to console and start manually lightdm
[23:03] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev a2)
[23:03] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: So it would seem that it does see it.
[23:03] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Yeah .. that is waht we wanted to see . Driver is now installed and all is good ??
[23:03] <LtL> Bashing-om: i'm using nouveau, but additional drivers says intel microcode code is in use, what do i do about that?
[23:04] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I tried to remove the ppa, and it failed. I'm afraid to run the install nvidia-current now :(
[23:04] <LtL> Bashing-om: use 352 and keep the intel microcode?
[23:06] <Bashing-om> LtL: 'Intel microcode' is firmware not a direct concern to the grahics driver in use .
[23:07] <LtL> Bashing-om: yeah thats exactly what is says, so cool, thanks
[23:07] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: "ppa-purge" just reverts to what is in the repo and then remove that source ! .
[23:09] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: In other words, I have to do "sudo add-apt-repository --remove ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates"
[23:10] <TwentyTwenty> is there a reason why I am seeing different values for the size of my hard drive from different programs?  Dolphin says I have 212GB of total space, GParted says I have 223GB of space in the partition, and I'm pretty sure this is a 256GB ssd.  What could be causing this?
[23:10] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: IF things work as is .. leave well enough alone .. just be aware that the possibility of graphic's driver breakage in a kernel update exists .
[23:11] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Done.
[23:11] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: I tested the graphics currently, and It's worse than my Intel.
[23:11] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, With minecraft
[23:12] <compdoc> TwentyTwenty, ssds reserve a small amount of space for its own use. and it even helps if you leave a few gigs of space as un-partitioned
[23:12] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Imagine how much of a performance decrease it would have to be to be felt in Minecraft.
[23:12] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: You are too quick, or I am just too slow .. // so we are back to properly ppa-purge ( revert to repo driver0 purge what is now and install the nvidia driver ... no big deal .
[23:13] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, how small?  Currently it looks like it's using 28GB if this is supposed to be a 240GB ssd
[23:13] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, from where? The original repos?
[23:13] <compdoc> Some drive come with software that suggest about 10 gigs or so. Google 'over-provisioning'
[23:13] <compdoc> TwentyTwenty ^
[23:14] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, i'm fine with 10GB, but what about the other 18?
[23:15] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, also, this must be something handled by the ubuntu installer automatically because I never deliberately set aside 28GB
[23:15] <compdoc> I think all hard drives sold dont match the advertised size.
[23:15] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, it's also not showing up as unpartioned space, it's just not showing up at all
[23:15] <compdoc> something to do with how the size is measured
[23:16] <TwentyTwenty> compdoc, so you think the ssd size is really 223GB and the ubuntu installer automatically set aside 10GB for the ssd?
[23:17] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, I'm hesitant to do that again, even with the ppa removed :( Are you sure it's ok now?
[23:18] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Not knowing what has been done, or where you are .. I do suggest ' sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates ' as the 1st step. then comment out that PPA in the sources.list directory . then we purge all and (re-)install . that is what I think .
[23:19] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Note that I have repeatedly advised 'ppa-purge' .
[23:19] <maszlo> is there any real side effects from disabling dns masq?
[23:20] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, I have purged both the nvidia driver and the ppa
[23:20] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Checking to see if after --remove the ppa is still in source.list
[23:20] <sunil`> I recently updated from 12.04 to 14.04. About two weeks ago, I think. I've rebooted a few times without issues. Today I rebooted. I think that ubuntu has loaded, but I'm not being presented with a graphical login. I just get blank screens and a mouse
[23:21] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: Just checked. Nothing in the source.list
[23:21] <halexander9000> Bashing-om: And when I say nothing, I mean none of my blunders.
[23:21] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates specifically
[23:22] <maszlo> i have found that dnsmasq being turned on by default in networkManager was breaking my vpn dns
[23:22] <sunil`> As i boot, I see that ubuntu is indeed loading
[23:22] <sunil`> like, I see a purple screen for a moment, and the text 'ubuntu 14.4'
[23:22] <sunil`> but then... nothing
[23:22] <maszlo> just do not know if this will break other thing turning it off.  dont care if it asks the dns server each time
[23:23] <TJ-> maszlo: sounds like something was misconfigured, NM's dnsmasq should work fine in cooperation with a VPN if the network connections are correctly configured.
[23:23] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Dare I do now the dreaded install Nvidia-current?
[23:24] <maszlo> TJ-: i dont understand what i could have setup incorrectly i tried using the dhcp dns and manually setting them.  they never updated in the /etc/resolv.conf
[23:24] <maszlo> it would always just show localhost, or <IP_ADDRESS>
[23:25] <maszlo> that interface order had tun* in it right behind the lo options.
[23:26] <maszlo> i am talking about /etc/resolvconf/interface-order
[23:27] <TJ-> maszlo: /etc/resolv.conf is a link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. NM updates resolvconf's nameservers entry when it receives a DHCP option, or from its manual configuration. It operates a private instance of dnsmaws that it gives to resolvconf, listening on <IP_ADDRESS>. If you've got some VPN connection not managed by NM then its -up script updates may be replaced when NM brings up and interface
[23:27] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: ' sudo service lightdm stop ; sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak ; sudo apt-get purge nvidia* ; sudo apt-get install nvidia-352 ; sudo nvidia-xconfig ' .. Rerboot and let's see .
[23:27] <maszlo> so i should look at what is broken in vpnc?
[23:28] <TJ-> maszlo: if you want an NM connection to NOT apply DHCP options for DNS, in the NM connection change the method to "Automatic (Addresses Only)" so it doesn't use the DNS/gateway DHCP options
[23:28] <dimitry7> :)
[23:29] <maszlo> TJ-: but i do want it to use the dns for vpn and it was not showing up
[23:29] <TJ-> maszlo: if you use NM's network-manager-vpnc{,-gnome} then there won't be any conflicts
[23:31] <maszlo> TJ-: thanks for the info
[23:32] <karma_banana> Hey, I tried the live usb of ubuntu 15.10, but it won't let me get past the login screen and asks for user name and password and the texts get glitchy
[23:32] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Taking the plunge now, see you on the other side.
[23:33] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: ;) .. nothing ventured, nothing gained .
[23:34] <TJ-> karma_banana: use the boot option 'check disk' that sounds like corruption
[23:35] <karma_banana> I did, but there were no errors
[23:36] <TJ-> karma_banana: possibly the system has some random read errors, or RAM problems then. 'glitchy text' certainly points in that direction
[23:36] <est31> is there any minimal wayland desktop environment?
[23:37] <est31> for ubuntu of course
[23:38] <karma_banana> TJ-, hmm.. never ahd any issues
[23:39] <k1l_> est31: there is no usable wayland desktop yet.
[23:39] <est31> I have heard that you can get wayland + gnome running if you install the gnome-session-wayland package
[23:39] <TJ-> !info gnome-session-wayland | est31
[23:40] <est31> but I dont want to install the entirety of gnome
[23:40] <threeminutemonta> My computer randomly shutdown over night. Is there anyway to find out why / when. 14.04 LTS?
[23:40] <est31> if I install the package alone I cant chose it at login
[23:40] <TJ-> !info plasma-workspace-wayland | est31
[23:41] <TJ-> est31: use "apt-cache search -n wayland" to see all the various wayland support packages. You'll likely need 'xwayland' to integrate into the existing system, so it won't be a pure wayland
[23:41] <k1l_> est31: "running"
[23:41] <est31> ah thanks
[23:43] <est31> why doesnt plasma-workspace-wayland depend on xwayland? I mean if it doesnt work without?
[23:44] <egggs> hello all
[23:47] <VictoriaXOXO> Q: Does ANYONE know how I would make this script work on Ubuntu (with some ExifTool alternative)? http://pastebin.com/sfSRBnxH
[23:47] <est31> will it automatically configure + set up xwayland when I install the package?
[23:48] <est31> I'll just give it a try
[23:49] <k1l_> est31: the gnome-walynad session depends on xwayland
[23:50] <VictoriaXOXO> (Asking again. Waited some time. Found out that exiftool exists for Linux.) Q: How would I make this script work for exiftool on Ubuntu?
[23:50] <VictoriaXOXO> http://pastebin.com/sfSRBnxH
[23:51] <k1l_> VictoriaXOXO: do you know man pages?
[23:51] <k1l_> !man | VictoriaXOXO
[23:52] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Hmm. Would I find it all there?
[23:52] <k1l_> its like the handbook of the program. there you can read if and what options that program offers you.
[23:53] <VictoriaXOXO> k1l_: Oh, okay.
[23:56] <yoko> hi

[23:57] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Performance Boost all around~!
[23:57] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, If there's anything you need my friend, just ask :D
[23:57] <skwishy> hey guys, can I get advice about how to troubleshoot two different laptops, both running 14.04, they freeze up when I "killall chrome"
[23:58] <Bashing-om> halexander9000: Great ! .. just learn and pass it on to the next .
[23:58] <the_count> Bashing-om: If you are around and ready, we could work again on the previous problem.
[23:58] <Bashing-om> the_count: Sure, was waiting on you . show again where we are .
[23:58] <halexander9000> Bashing-om, Thank you so much~ You've transformed my birthday gift from unusable to usable! I could repay you if you want! Just ask :D
[23:59] <the_count> ABshing-om: I believe we left off with removing xorg going to install vivid version but ran into conflictions


[12:38] <robr> BenC: Will this still get the patches into the CD build #2?
[02:06] <tfheen> hi Adilson
[02:07] <tfheen> I think I have a fix for the sdk-default-icons being uninstallable in a normal system bug
[02:19] <agoliveira> tfheen: Cool.
[02:22] <agoliveira>  tfheen: Not using the other nick today?
[02:22] <tfheen> fsck-ing 2.5TB disks is fun.
[02:22] <tfheen> 'nuff said.
[02:22] <tfheen> :-P
[02:28] <agoliveira> :)
[02:33] <ian_brasil> agoliveira: I got the gutsy chroot and hildon working but it seg faults when trying to do anything:
[02:33] <ian_brasil> ** (hildon-desktop:20235): WARNING **: Error loading icon '/usr/share/pixmaps/python2.5.xpm': Icon '/usr/share/pixmaps/python2.5.xpm' not present in theme
[02:33] <ian_brasil> ** (hildon-desktop:20235): DEBUG: read_menu_conf: DONE!
[02:33] <ian_brasil> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[02:42] <doko> tfheen: any comments on my email on -mobile?
[02:43] <tfheen> doko: about the arch?  I don't mind either way.
[02:43] <tfheen> doko: I'd rather have you just upload dpkg with the one we want so we can finally get the arch bootstrapped.
[02:43] <agoliveira> ian_brasil: Hi. This "trying to do anything" means exactly what? If you click on the left upper icon it will segfault. This is a known bug that should be solved by an update. Have you tried to open an application pointing to the Xephyr window?
[02:44] <ian_brasil> Ola, it is the know bug then that i found
[02:44] <doko> tfheen: fine with me; can we make gcc-4.2 the default from the beginning for lpia?
[02:45] <tfheen> doko: if you want to, sure.
[02:50] <ian_brasil> agoliveira: I have upgraded ubuntu-mobile and clicking on the upper left icon now core dumps a memory map which i have mailed to you
[02:51] <agoliveira> ian_brasil: As I said, this is a known bug that should be cleared soon.
[02:53] <ian_brasil> agoliveira: sorry , i thought you meant that the upgrade would solve it
[02:57] <agoliveira> ian_brasil: Sorry, I meant that it will solve, we just don't have it there right now.
[04:05] <tfheen> ok, I have a change which works for me now.. I wonder if it'll make everything fall over for the rest of the world..
[04:12] <agoliveira> tfheen: What is that?
[04:13] <tfheen> making sdk-default-theme installable on a normal system
[04:14] <agoliveira> tfheen: Ah, ok.
[10:18] <amitk> jacob-laptop: ping
[10:19] <jacob-laptop> amitk: hi
[10:20] <amitk> jacob-laptop: Did you subscribe to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:20] <jacob-laptop> amitk: no
[10:21] <jacob-laptop> amitk: i guess i should
[10:21] <jacob-laptop> did i miss anything?
[10:21] <amitk> jacob-laptop: I suggest you do that. I cleaned up your patches according to checklist provided by checkpatch.pl and submitted them there
[10:22] <amitk> please check the archives to see if they still work for you :)
[10:22] <amitk> your email id on the patches bounced :-/
[10:22] <jacob-laptop> amitk: ok, i did run the kernel cleanpatch script
[10:22] <jacob-laptop> cleanpatch
[10:26] <amitk> jacob-laptop: I also suggested running checkpatch.pl. I found a huge number of warning. But anyways, I fixed those. And I merged some of the patches together because they didn't do much by themselves. So I suggest you test the result before BenC commits them
[10:28] <jacob-laptop> amitk: can you send me the URL to the mailing list, and checklist?
[10:29] <amitk> jacob-laptop: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kernel-team
[10:32] <amitk> jacob-laptop: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide for the checklist (patch acceptance criteria)
[10:33] <jacob-laptop> amitk: thanks
