[16:27] <pavlushka> Hello everyone & ahoneybun & Kilos :)
[16:28] <u-la-la> Hey Kilos :)
[18:15] <Kilos> hi pavlushka
[18:16] <pavlushka> Kilos: I'll be back soon :)
[18:16] <Kilos> ok
[18:17] <pavlushka> Kilos: in two days :p
[18:17] <Kilos> oh my
[18:18] <pavlushka> Kilos: I am around meanwhile counting my internet bytes :)
[22:36] <ahoneybun> heyo ki


[20:02] <JDAIII> I'm expecting to be able to ping an external site or IP, I had installed apac eh and 80 wasn't available even though I added the endpoint. I uninstalled, but will reinstall in a few minutes.
[20:02] <tankenmate> JDAIII: just as aside, what does lsof -i return?
[20:02] <levlaz> Can you install it again, and then run the same command to see if it is evenin listening on 80?
[20:03] <levlaz> Its odd that you cant ping the IP :/ but its equally odd that you can get in with SSH everything *should* work lol
[20:03] <levlaz> I am assuming you are running Ubuntu right?
[20:03] <Bruce____> can i install 64bit ubuntu on a laptop with processor core 2 duo with 2 gb RAM?
[20:03] <levlaz> Bruce____: yes
[20:03] <Bruce____> thx
[20:03] <levlaz> Bruce____: np :)
[20:04] <JDAIII> tankenmate, lsof -i returns 8 entries, two of which are my connection, two others are ip4 and ip6 ssh, and the other 5 are the ports listed before plus bootpc as a port?
[20:05] <JDAIII> installing our software again, this will take a while
[20:05] <levlaz> JDAIII: no problem, I am sure its something simple and silly.
[20:05] <levlaz> Is apache running?
[20:05] <tankenmate> JDAIII: they probably support PIX boot
[20:05] <JDAIII> nevermind, our software will not install because it requires the ability to ping www.google.com or it will exit the script
[20:05] <levlaz> Or .. is that part of the long install process?
[20:06] <levlaz> :/
[20:06] <levlaz> lol
[20:06] <levlaz> Ar eyou not able to ping google???
[20:06] <silentnewb> anyone here using win 8.1 dualbooted with ubuntu 14.04?
[20:06] <silentnewb> i cant get it through booting UEFI
[20:06] <silentnewb> please help
[20:06] <JDAIII> our install script of which I am testing now, requires the ability to ping www.google.com or it will fail. I can comment that out, but that will not be an option for the tests that I am performing.
[20:07] <JDAIII> I just tried and I just used wget successfully to download a zip file from a web address.
[20:07] <JDAIII> wonder why apt-get and wget work
[20:07] <levlaz> JDAIII: what happens when you ping google now?
[20:07] <levlaz> Its super odd
[20:07] <JDAIII> levlaz, it hangs
[20:07] <levlaz> What does your /etc/resolv.conf look like?
[20:07] <JDAIII> 100% packet loss
[20:07] <levlaz> Hmm..
[20:08] <levlaz> Can you run an MTR report?
[20:08] <levlaz> "mtr --report google.com"
[20:08] <levlaz> to see where the loss occurs at -- if it is at the Azure routers then you can go yell at them :)
[20:09] <JDAIII> resolv.conf has two entries. nameserver with an ip to which I am not familiar and search which appears to be my VM's dns name
[20:09] <JDAIII> mtr only shows my HOST and nothing else
[20:10] <JDAIII> Start, then host, then it exits out
[20:11] <noah> tankenmate: ok. back just to say this. it was definitely going up. gtg
[20:11] <daveomcd> when using grep is there a command i can use to stop when the screen fills with text? so that i can read it then let it continue?
[20:12] <archip> daveomcd command | grep | less
[20:12] <archip> aka less
[20:12] <silentnewb> anyone here using win 8.1 dualbooted with ubuntu 14.04? i disabling secure boot but i cant get it through booting UEFI and booted into windows after install ubuntu
[20:12] <JDAIII> levlaz, I think that the loss is occuring before it even gets to the azure router
[20:12] <tankenmate> noah: that means the hardware is generating interrupts but something is trapping the key events before they reach the kernel
[20:12] <daveomcd> how do i get out of it?
[20:12] <archip> daveomcd q
[20:12] <daveomcd> thanks!
[20:13] <archip> daveomcd and up/down arrows to navigate in case you didnt figure it out
[20:13] <silentnewb> please help
[20:14] <Bashing-om> !ask | silentnewb
[20:15] <silentnewb> anyone here using win 8.1 dualbooted with ubuntu 14.04? i disabling secure boot but i cant get it through booting UEFI and booted into windows after install ubuntu, do you guys have step by step gguide? i am new here, please help
[20:16] <vexn> Bashing-om, he did ask the question
[20:16] <EriC^^> silentnewb, is it a hp or toshiba laptop?
[20:16] <vexn> no trolling plz Bashing-om
[20:16] <Bashing-om> vexn: :))
[20:16] <vexn> Bashing-om, :)))
[20:17] <silentnewb> its Sony Vaio EriC^^
[20:18] <EriC^^> silentnewb, ok
[20:18] <EriC^^> try to press esc and get a boot options menu and choose ubuntu
[20:18] <silentnewb> any chance you guys dual boot with win 8.1?
[20:18] <EriC^^> i have win8 too
[20:19] <Bashing-om> silentnewb: A thought. When you installded ubuntu, did you install with the firmware in CCSM mode ? such that Windows requires to be booted in UEFI mode ?
[20:19] <silentnewb> i tried all F keys and esc but nothing happened EriC^^
[20:20] <EriC^^> silentnewb, check the bios for efi entries
[20:20] <silentnewb> it only have UEFI or Legacy mode
[20:21] <EriC^^> silentnewb, there has to be a key that lets you choose which os to load, also it might let you choose to browse for an efi file
[20:21] <silentnewb> while i try legacy mode then no operating system detected
[20:22] <silentnewb> then  i boot and hold "assist" keys and it's back to UEFI mode again
[20:22] <silentnewb> there no efi or bios entry in my sony vaio
[20:23] <jamie_> anyone know how to reset the bluetooth daemon without a restart
[20:23] <fahadash> ubuntu rocks
[20:24] <fahadash> jamie_, Does ubuntu have service command?
[20:24] <jamie_> fahadash: what do you mean exactaly
[20:24] <fahadash> run this command: whereis service
[20:24] <fahadash> see if you have it
[20:24] <fahadash> I know Suse has it
[20:24] <fahadash> don't know about ubuntu
[20:24] <EriC^^> silentnewb, try turning the unit completely off, then press the assist key
[20:25] <silentnewb> Bashing-om i dont know exactly, what CCSM firmware
[20:25] <jamie_> fahadash: yes it does
[20:25] <fahadash> service restart btsvc (or whatever bluetooth service's name is)
[20:25] <jamie_> fahadash: Im not sure exactly what it is or how to find it
[20:26] <silentnewb> i have already do it, press assist key but only to booted into uefi options without ubuntu or grub there
[20:26] <EriC^^> is there any os boot manager or boot options menu? silentnewb
[20:26] <fahadash> jamie_, I am not too sure about bluetooth in particular
[20:27] <silentnewb> i dont know excactly, only boot from device/dvd rom options
[20:27] <jamie_> bluetoothhd is the closest thing i can find
[20:27] <jamie_> *bluetoothd*
[20:27] <EriC^^> silentnewb, try boot from device
[20:27] <silentnewb> weirdly there no boot option mentioning ubuntu Eric^^
[20:27] <EriC^^> if it doesn't show ubuntu, boot the live usb again
[20:28] <noah123> When I wanna use Dual Boot and has an unallocated space, what should I do in the installer of Kubuntu?
[20:28] <silentnewb> yes, i once tried with live cds EriC^^ but i dont know what to do afterward
[20:28] <jamie_> fahadash: does bluetoothd sound right
[20:28] <silentnewb> it cannot cettect my wireless driver
[20:29] <EriC^^> silentnewb, no problem, boot it and you can fix it from there
[20:29] <silentnewb> how? EriC^^
[20:29] <EriC^^> i'll give you the commands
[20:29] <noah> silentnewb: I think I can hep
[20:29] <noah> help*
[20:30] <noah123> any ideas?
[20:30] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you need to copy and rename the grub efi file instead of the windows one to trick your bios into booting it
[20:30] <EriC^^> i've the same issue on an hp laptop
[20:30] <noah> EriC^^: cant he just use boot-repair?
[20:31] <EriC^^> noah, well he could just rename it himself, it would be way quicker
[20:31] <EriC^^> noah, anyways he needs an internet connection for boot-repair
[20:31] <silentnewb> i worried i cannot boot up again into win 8.1 :( i'm not prepared to backup all my data sadly,
[20:32] <silentnewb> i cannot use boot-repair
[20:32] <silentnewb> no internet from live cds
[20:32] <noah> EriC^^: depends on his techincal skills.
[20:32] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you can undo it pretty easily by booting the live usb again if it doesn't work
[20:32] <fahadash> jamie_, systemctl list-units --type service
[20:32] <noah> silentnewb: have you tried an ethernert cable?
[20:32] <fahadash> can you run that?
[20:33] <jamie_> fahadash: Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
[20:33] <noah> silentnewb: ethernet*
[20:33] <fahadash> jamie_, Like I said. I mostly work on opensuse. Not sure about ubuntu
[20:33] <fahadash> jamie_, You might as well try in ##linux
[20:34] <silentnewb> cant use eth0 because i only use wireles/wifi connection in my home sadly
[20:34] <silentnewb> i get from monthly wifi connection
[20:34] <silentnewb> no cables
[20:34] <noah> silentnewb: darn.
[20:34] <silentnewb> :(
[20:34] <ks> could you recommend a simple way for instant recovery of several files (php/sqlite), running under ubuntu?
[20:34] <silentnewb> but i can connect with my windows tho
[20:35] <EriC^^> silentnewb, as long as you have a live usb you should be good, worse case scenario you could mount the windows partition and get the data back, but it's unlikely anything will happen
[20:35] <jamie_> fahadash: this is the place that is supposed to help with ubuntu
[20:35] <noah> silentnewb: have you tried downloading boot reapir onto ubuntu?
[20:35] <noah> jamie_: we are all looking for help and to help. Some know more than others.
[20:35] <fahadash> jamie_, Correct
[20:36] <jamie_> noah: I know that
[20:36] <EriC^^> jamie_, not sure what the bluetooth daemon is called, but service --status-all lists all the services
[20:36] <jamie_> I do this same type of thing for mozilla over on moznet for the firefox os devices and the web browser
[20:36] <Bashing-om> silentnewb: ^^ EriC^^ Knows UEFI, you are in good hands .
[20:36] <silentnewb> ubuntu live dvd cannot detect my wireless driver unless i online
[20:37] <fahadash> jamie_, What EriC^^ says and: service --status-all | grep *bluetooth*
[20:37] <fahadash> or try grep *bt* something as well
[20:37] <EriC^^> Bashing-om, :)
[20:37] <noah123> any ideas?
[20:38] <fahadash> jamie_, Check the third post in this thread. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-restart-bluez-daemon-712095/
[20:38] <silentnewb> EriC^^ Bashing-om i can try online in my colleges, but hwat i have to do with boot-repair?
[20:38] <EriC^^> silentnewb, nevermind boot-repair
[20:38] <OerHeks> noah123, most logical let kubuntu instller partition the free space
[20:38] <EriC^^> boot the live usb and tell us when it's booted
[20:40] <jamie_> fahadash: thanks... its working now
[20:41] <fahadash> jamie_, What worked? Would you like to share?
[20:42] <noah123> OerHeks: Should the swap partition be logical?
[20:43] <jamie_> fahadash: /etc/init.d/bluetooth  restart
[20:43] <fahadash> awesome
[20:43] <silentnewb> EriC^^ okay, i will looking forward for it, thank you guys Bashing-om noah
[20:44] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you don't need an internet connection to fix it
[20:45] <noahmg123> EriC^^, silentnewb, yeah. sorry for the confusion. u don't need boot-repair
[20:46] <The> hello
[20:47] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you won't be messing with any partition stuff, just replacing a boot file with another, if windows doesn't boot you can just boot the live usb again and replace them back, no harm done
[20:48] <EriC^^> silentnewb, it's just a normal file
[20:48] <silentnewb> EriC^^ can you please give me the commands? so i can do it later?
[20:49] <silentnewb> how to change the uefi file
[20:49] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you need to mount the efi partition and stuff..
[20:49] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you could try booting into ubuntu by holding shift and pressing restart in windows, if you get an option that says other devices or something click it and it might list ubuntu
[20:50] <EriC^^> that way you wouldn't have to mount the efi partition and you'd just be in ubuntu as you would usually
[20:51] <EriC^^> nevermind
[20:52] <jamie_> fahadash: thanks for your help
[20:53] <silentnewb> so what i have to do? do i need to use live usb or boot to other device from win 8.1 only? EriC^^
[20:53] <silentnewb> sorry i kind of confusing here XD
[20:53] <EriC^^> silentnewb, once you boot the live usb, type sudo blkid | grep vfat, you'll get a list of partitions
[20:53] <EriC^^> nevermind the windows thing
[20:54] <EriC^^> if it doesn't boot you'd need a live usb to get win back so
[20:55] <EriC^^> anyways if you have 1 partition listed, then get it's name /dev/sda1 maybe and type sudo mount /dev/sda1/mnt
[20:55] <EriC^^> silentnewb, if you have a bunch of partitions check the label, it might say EFI partition, that's the one you want
[20:56] <joshumax> Sorry for reposing this on #ubuntu, but #upstart seemed pretty dead...I had a question regarding the future of upstart and upstart maintenance/security patches... Now that systemd is replacing upstart on Ubuntu, will the Upstart team still maintain Upstart for the foreseeable future?
[20:56] <The_kid> hey
[20:57] <joshumax> s/reposing/reposting/
[20:57] <silentnewb> okay, Eric^^ then what to do with the EFI partitions that i found?
[20:58] <helo> using "Network" to configure my proxy settings, there isn't a field for username and password
[20:58] <helo> surely i can set proxy settings without editing a bunch of config files like Internet Man says
[21:01] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you mount the EFI partition then type cp /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup
[21:01] <EriC^^> silentnewb, sorry, sudo cp /mnt/boot/efi......
[21:01] <EriC^^> silentnewb, that will make a backup copy of the file in case you need to restore it
[21:02] <monojin> possibly idiot question: can I assume that Ubuntu 14.04 is currently utilizing my intel graphics 4000 GPU out of the box, and how can I check?
[21:02] <akkad> is this look safe for apt-get install -f ? https://gist.github.com/c8fe586776fc2eb3c828
[21:03] <EriC^^> silentnewb, sorry, sudo cp /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup
[21:04] <joshumax> akkad: If you don't do much development work, then perhaps
[21:04] <eikon81g> Does anyone have tips on optimizing youtube playback? I am using firefox and the nvidia drivers for my machine. Some videos seem choppy..
[21:05] <akkad> joshumax: someone put a wrong distro source in there and now it's hosed for adding new packages
[21:05] <joshumax> Was it from a ppa?
[21:05] <akkad> probably
[21:05] <silentnewb> okay Eric^^ then what to do after cp commands?
[21:05] <akkad> basically it wanted  to update everything
[21:05] <akkad> pages of  netcat-openbsd : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7) but it is not going to be installed
[21:06] <EriC^^> silentnewb, copy and rename the shimx64.efi file, sudo cp /mnt/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[21:06] <joshumax> !ubottu ppa-purge
[21:06] <joshumax> I think I did that wrong...
[21:06] <eikon81g> !ppa-purge
[21:06] <joshumax> Thanks
[21:06] <eikon81g> np
[21:07] <EriC^^> silentnewb, sometimes you have to also backup and then replace /mnt/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi , but try bootx64.efi first and see how it goes
[21:07] <akkad> the error is https://gist.github.com/61166d4a48362100d273
[21:07] <Bashing-om> monojin: Intel supports us fully, should work out-of-the-box. Quick verification is to boot a ubuntu liveDVD(usb) .. If all works in the "live" environment, great chance will also work in the install.
[21:07] <akkad> well atm I can't install anything
[21:08] <joshumax> it looks like your "apt-get -f install" is safe *enough*
[21:08] <EriC^^> silentnewb, if you need to revert back do sudo cp /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[21:08] <monojin> Bashing-om: As I suspected. I've actually had Ubuntu MATE installed for two weeks but wanted to make sure ; )
[21:09] <joshumax> But I'd *really* do a ppa-purge afterwards
[21:09] <Bashing-om> monojin: Good deal . Welcome to our world .
[21:09] <silentnewb> Eric^^ sorry if this unrelated, but i already tried to change boot path from the windows itself,
[21:09] <silentnewb> with commands bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
[21:09] <EriC^^> this might work
[21:09] <silentnewb> but nothing happened :(
[21:10] <silentnewb> i hope your way can solve the problems Eric^^ thank you
[21:11] <EriC^^> silentnewb, no problem
[21:12] <lupobianco> irc://irc.chlame.net/atena
[21:13] <EriC^^> silentnewb, oh btw
[21:13] <EriC^^> almsot forgot :>
[21:13] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you need to let grub know where the new windows efi file is, so you can boot into windows from grub
[21:14] <EriC^^> silentnewb, ?
[21:14] <silentnewb> Eric^^ okay, what should i do ? update grub?
[21:15] <EriC^^> silentnewb, type locate 20microsoft
[21:16] <EriC^^> it's /usr/lib/os-prober/mount/efi/20microsoft i think ( i'm not on ubuntu right now so i can't check )
[21:17] <sparasite> Someone here can help me ...?
[21:17] <silentnewb> what commands EriC^^ from terminal to locate 20microsoft
[21:17] <sparasite> Please, I have been trying for a lot of days now, if not weeks ...
[21:17] <EriC^^> silentnewb, then type sudo nano /usr/lib/os-prober/mount/efi/20microsoft ( or whatever you get from the locate command ) and change bootx64.efi to bootx64.efi.backup & bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw.efi.backup
[21:17] <ndumont> sparasite, what's  your problem ?
[21:18] <guntbert> sparasite: ask your question - all in one line
[21:18] <sparasite> Sure, one moment please!
[21:18] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you might not need to do this if you don't change bootmgfw.efi , if you only change bootx64.efi give it a go and if you get grub and windows boots then nevermind, if it doesn't check that file for bootx64.efi and replace it with bootx64.efi.backup
[21:19] <sparasite> Well, I wanna install Kubuntu 14.04.2 using Dual Boot with Windows 7. I dont know ANYTHING but I have created unallocated space, 80 GB
[21:19] <EriC^^> silentnewb, oh wait, you have to change that file in ubuntu, not the live usb, so if you boot into ubuntu fine and it doesn't boot windows then do that there
[21:19] <sparasite> I know I need to create a swap partition and so on, but I dont know what File System, Beginning or End, Mount Point etc.
[21:19] <EriC^^> then run sudo update-grub
[21:20] <superman> sparasite, you miss only swap or others too?
[21:20] <noahmg123> sparasite: swaps aren needed but very much encouraged.
[21:20] <noahmg123> aren't*
[21:20] <sparasite> Yeah
[21:20] <sparasite> Can you help me_
[21:20] <sparasite> Configure everything etc.
[21:21] <sparasite> I dont understand the installation ... I am new to this
[21:21] <silentnewb> okay, i'll tried restart windows first to check i can boot into ubuntu EriC^^ if i cant booted then use live usb is that okay
[21:21] <superman> sparasite, how many RAM installed on your pc?
[21:21] <sparasite> superman: 4 GB
[21:22] <EriC^^> silentnewb, i'd do it from the live usb, if you want to check ubuntu that's fine but copy the files from the live usb
[21:22] <sparasite> superman: can we take it in PM so I can keep all information?
[21:22] <EriC^^> you dont want to copy the files have it not boot then put the live usb and it doesn't work or for some reason you can't mount the efi partition
[21:23] <Bashing-om> !dualboot | sparasite
[21:23] <sparasite> I have already read it
[21:23] <noahmg123> sparasite: Yeah Kubuntu assumes you want to install over everything and it is hard to find the option to tell it to use the 80GB space, but not too hard.
[21:23] <sparasite> Okay
[21:24] <sparasite> So what should I do? When I boot into Live Mode it says English language pack isnt supported, can I ignore it?
[21:24] <noahmg123> sparasite: where did you get you install iso for your disk or stick
[21:25] <noahmg123> get your*
[21:25] <sparasite> noahmg123:  First, I used the official download ISO. Then, it was the same error, so I tried the official torrent with the same chechsum
[21:25] <sparasite> on a USB created with UNetbootin
[21:26] <sparasite> But I dont have so much time ...
[21:26] <noahmg123> Hmmm.... the english version (is there more than one version)?
[21:26] <sparasite> What?
[21:27] <noahmg123> sparasite: can you give the the link to where you downloaded it?
[21:28] <sparasite> noahmg123: got it from a friend, but it was here I think> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/14.04/release/
[21:28] <sparasite> The torrent
[21:28] <sparasite> noahmg123: can we take it in PM_
[21:29] <noahmg123> sparasite: ok but first. amd64 or i386
[21:29] <mdxxx> hai
[21:29] <sparasite> amd64, noahmg123 but torrent
[21:29] <sparasite> valid checksum
[21:29] <sparasite> md5
[21:33] <benth> anyone know why rpcbind needs to run on nfs *clients*?
[21:34] <tankenmate> benth: in case you are using secure nfs so the client and the server can sync their time deltas
[21:35] <RudeViper> How do I make the operating system offer me a choice of desktop environments on boot - I have xfce - lxde and unity installed - but by default it is booting into xfce and I want to be able to use the other two for a bit to see if I can track down some issues to see if the are DE related or Ubuntu related - google searching isn't producing any definitive answers
[21:35] <benth> tankenmate: oh interesting - do you know where i can learn more about that?
[21:35] <tankenmate> benth: for NFSv4 I suspect it is used for ID mappings, but i'd need to check
[21:36] <tankenmate> benth: there was a bound text published by Sun in 1994 or 1995 about Secure RPC / Secure NFS, but it has been over 20 years since I read it so I can't remember the title
[21:36] <Bashing-om> RudeViper: In the sign-in box, upper right corner is the ubuntu icon, click on it for a drop down of all the DEs that are installed .
[21:37] <benth> tankenmate: ok thanks a lot
[21:37] <RudeViper> hmm - didn't see that - I'll check - be back
[21:50] <maysara> Hello, I upgraded the kernel to 3.16 using this command but the system is still using the 3.13 kernel.
[21:50] <maysara> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ#Kernel.2BAC8-LTSEnablementStack.Desktop
[21:50] <maysara> I'm using ubuntu 14.04
[21:50] <HanaNix> Has anyone used SNAPPER the duse snapshot utulity
[21:50] <HanaNix> suse*
[21:52] <k1l_> HanaNix: you know this is the ubuntu support channel? :)
[21:53] <k1l_> maysara: did you reboot?
[21:53] <HanaNix> k1l_ ubuntu supports snapper: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man8/snapper.8.html
[21:53] <maysara> k1l_: yes.
[21:53] <Bashing-om> maysara: Desktop machine ? and you install --reinstall the 4 required packages ? and then rebooted ? .. should be up on the utopic kernel then .
[21:53] <k1l_> maysara: run a "sudo update-grub" and paste the output after its ended to a pastebin, please
[21:59] <maysara> k1l_: http://pastebin.com/fu5tQvca
[22:00] <maysara> Bashing-om: That's why I'm asking.
[22:00] <k1l_> maysara: that shows 3.16 is installed. try a reboot.
[22:01] <k1l_> maysara: or do you use the arch bootloader?
[22:02] <Exagone313> can the third line of this pastebin being ignored? I've the same error.
[22:03] <maysara> k1l_: It's grub, I didn't even reinstall it when I was trying Arch. I'll reboot again.
[22:03] <k1l_> Exagone313: yes, its just a warning, not an error
[22:04] <k1l_> maysara: well, arch might have installed its own grub or something other. so maybe you need to run that one if to let it check the new ubuntu kernels. but that would be a task for the arch support then.
[22:05] <InHisName1> When I do: sudo apt-get -f install   I get request to add samba-libs  then when it tries, I get errors (1) returned by the deb.   I've changed printers and the old settings are useless. I'd just as soon purge samba and start all over for the new printer. So where to start ?
[22:07]  * eikon81g is away: brb
[22:08] <maysara> Still on 3.13
[22:08] <k1l_> !away > eikon81g
[22:08] <k1l_> maysara: well, arch might have installed its own grub or something other. so maybe you need to run that one if to let it check the new ubuntu kernels. but that would be a task for the arch support then.
[22:08] <Tazmain> hi all, I am going to upgrade my graphics card to either a GTX 980 or R9 290x now I want to know which has better drivers for linux both open and closed that will allow me to play games and have dual monitors ?
[22:09] <noahmg123> aaa
[22:10] <maysara> k1l_: I see. Thank you :)
[22:12] <k1l_> maysara: or you reinstall the ubuntu grub
[22:13] <Yuken> Installed Ubuntu from the mini iso, only chose a base server install since I didn't want to download the full desktop.
[22:13] <maysara> k1l_: I'll try that first then
[22:14] <Yuken> But, can I not connect to a WPA wifi network?
[22:14] <Yuken> Because that is my only method of connecting.
[22:14] <lasko> !raid | lasko
[22:15] <Yuken> o.o
[22:17]  * eikon81g is back (gone 00:10:34)
[22:18] <nullbyte_> well come
[22:21] <Yuken> Need help with a network problem, anyone here to answer?
[22:21] <lasko> !ask | Yuken
[22:22] <Yuken> Well, two things: I just installed a base server install via Ubuntu Mini, since I planned to install my own display manager, et cetera. But, I don't know how to connect to a WPA2 network. Secondly, when I try and boot from my USB that I installed Ubuntu from, it just boots into the normal system.
[22:27] <Azjo> Hi. I know this is a longshot but i dont know where else to ask. Someone is using my email on facebook and i cant take control of the account because i dont know the birthdate. It is NOT a serious email so i will NOT provide Passport etc to facebook support. how can i get fix this when facebook ignores me?
[22:30] <cyborgcygnus> Swap partition didn't install on fresh laptop ubuntu 14.04 install. Now after I enter the encrypt password at first boot it hangs for a while looking for the swap mount partition. How do I manually?
[22:30] <Danato> Azjo: how is that related to Ubuntu at all? you would have better luck with google
[22:31] <Azjo> been there done that. for a year. and reddit etc.
[22:31] <Azjo> i did say it was a longshot :)
[22:31] <k1l_> Azjo: this is not ubuntu related.
[22:31] <k1l_> !ot | Azjo
[22:31] <Azjo> shrug i tried :)
[22:36] <_alfalfa> where does rsync keep its logfile ?
[22:36] <_alfalfa> im getting rsync dying with code 12 want to look at the log
[22:41] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: 12     Error in rsync protocol data stream
[22:42] <_alfalfa> >
[22:42] <_alfalfa> yes trying to find where the log file is kept
[22:43] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: From where and to where are you rsyncing?
[22:44] <_alfalfa> from a amazon ec2 instance to my laptop , im on a public wifi
[22:45] <_alfalfa> the public wifi could be killing the connection i guess
[22:45] <_alfalfa> it would make sense however i havent seen them do that before
[22:45] <_alfalfa> anyway i cant find the log file and i cant find the config file for rsync on the ec2 instance
[22:45] <bekks> rsync doesn keep any logs unless you manuell create them.
[22:45] <_alfalfa> i looked in /etc ... its not there, and i dont see info about where they are in the man page so far
[22:45] <bekks> *manually even
[22:45] <_alfalfa> oh really ? ic
[22:46] <bekks> And rsync doesnt have a config file as well, until you run a dedicated rsync server.
[22:46] <_alfalfa> i got 56 percent of the file, lost my c onnection now it dies every time i try to resume the download
[22:47] <bekks> I doesnt die, it has to check the hash on both sides. That takes some time.
[22:50] <_alfalfa> i dont know what im doing .. i take it you dont need a dedicated server to rsync remotely like this
[22:50] <_alfalfa> i upgraded so im using the same protocl veresion remote and local, no help
[22:50] <_alfalfa> maybe i should try connecting using a different port, if the wifi is killing it that might trick it
[22:50] <_alfalfa> has anyone ever experienced rsync failing on attempt to continue a transfer like this ?
[22:51] <bekks> 6s patience.
[22:52] <bekks> _alfalfa: How does rsync "fail" actually?
[22:53] <_alfalfa> inflate returned -3 (0 bytes)
[22:53] <_alfalfa> rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at token.c(557) [receiver=3.1.1]
[22:53] <_alfalfa> rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (163 bytes received so far) [generator]
[22:53] <_alfalfa> rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [generator=3.1.1]
[22:53] <_alfalfa> when i try to resume the transfer it gets the file list, gets to the point where it would be donwloading additional data and then failes it seems
[22:54] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: What is the command you're running?
[22:55] <_alfalfa> /opt/local/bin/rsync -zvr --partial --progress --rsh=ssh ubuntu@myserver.com:/mnt/ex/home/ubuntu/transmission/Downloads/fa .
[22:55] <bekks> omit the --rsh=ssh
[22:56] <_alfalfa> hm ... i guess its worth a try
[22:56] <_alfalfa> ive always donw it using ssh however
[22:56] <bekks> And why do you use a nonstandard rsync?
[22:56] <_alfalfa> my server probably wont accept the conn except via ssh
[22:56] <bekks> rsync uses ssh as default.
[22:56] <_alfalfa> because i installed a more recent version after i had tehese problems
[22:57] <_alfalfa> it was using protocol version 29 ... /usr/local/bin or wheterver
[22:57] <bekks> Just use the distro shipped one please.
[22:57] <_alfalfa> so i port installed rsync
[22:57] <bekks>  /usr/bin/rsync
[22:57] <bekks> port installed?
[22:57] <_alfalfa> as i said, both versions have the same problem
[22:57] <bekks> Thats no Ubuntu then.
[22:57] <_alfalfa> the remote system is ubuntu
[22:57] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: does a "fa" file exist in your working directory?
[22:57] <_alfalfa> as i said, ec2 instanc
[22:57] <k1l_> /opt/local/bin/rsync ?  what ubuntu is that at all?
[22:57] <bekks> Sounds lieke BSD or OSX.
[22:57] <bekks> *like
[22:58] <_alfalfa> i said remote system is ubuntu, an amazon ec2 instance
[22:58] <_alfalfa> rypervenche, yes it does the file is 1/2 there
[22:58] <bekks> _alfalfa: and your non-Ubuntu client is causing issues :)
[22:58] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: what OS is the client?
[22:59] <_alfalfa> maybe, ive downloaded many files this way .. its possible this is the largest im not sure, its 2 gig .. client is OS X
[22:59] <_alfalfa> im trying it without the --rsh=ssh .. dbout it will help tho
[22:59] <_alfalfa> as u said it uses ssh anyway
[23:00] <_alfalfa> yup same problem
[23:00] <bekks> _alfalfa: Of course, because your client is the issue.
[23:00] <_alfalfa> maybe there is an error int he partial file .. i guess ill delete it and retry
[23:00] <_alfalfa> is there another option you can suggest to keep some of the data already downloaded ?
[23:00] <_alfalfa> is there a way to tell it to rebuild any metadata it has calculated ?
[23:01] <bekks> There is no such thing as calculated metadata.
[23:01] <_alfalfa> know a handy command to truncate the file ?
[23:01] <_alfalfa> maybe if i chop off the last 10 meg or something that will help
[23:01] <bekks> "split"
[23:01] <_alfalfa> i.e. if the last of the data got corrupted
[23:01] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: Normally I would use --inplace to continie on large files, but that doeant seem to be the case here. Try removimg/moving the file and starting again?
[23:03] <_alfalfa> rypervenche, why not try adding --implace ?
[23:03] <rypervenche> try it
[23:03] <_alfalfa> it doesnt know option --implace
[23:04] <rypervenche> inplace not implace
[23:05] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: also, what does . expand to? where are you when you run the command?
[23:05] <_alfalfa> ok ill try inplace thanks
[23:05] <cyborgcygnus> #swap
[23:05] <_alfalfa> i just truncated it down to a gig
[23:05] <_alfalfa> see if that helps
[23:05] <cyborgcygnus> ubottu #swap
[23:06] <_alfalfa> i wouldnt be surprised if the wifi is kiling the conn after detecting i downloaded over a gig
[23:06] <_alfalfa> altho i didnt knwo they were set up to do that .. thi si s in a starbucks
[23:06] <rypervenche> oh....
[23:06] <_alfalfa> truncating to 1 gig seems to have helped
[23:07] <_alfalfa> if it dies again ill start to wonder if i exhaused the file system
[23:07] <_alfalfa> but df says its at 78%
[23:08] <drdozer> hi - can I listen to what other machines have joined my LAN?
[23:08] <drdozer> I need to be notified when other machines join it
[23:08] <daftykins> drdozer: most routers have device pages, otherwise you can ping scan the subnet with nmap
[23:08] <daftykins> drdozer: why don't you just secure it properly so they can't? or disable DHCP?
[23:08] <outlaw-666> hello everyone
[23:08] <drdozer> daftykins, nmap seems a bit of a blunt instrument
[23:08] <outlaw-666> can someone help me out with something
[23:08] <akkad> ok so I have an ubuntu box that keeps blocking sites with a iptables drop
[23:08] <CountryfiedLinux> howdy
[23:09] <akkad> no idea what is setup to do that
[23:09] <CountryfiedLinux> How do I downgrade the current Kdenlive version to that of 14.04?
[23:09] <daftykins> drdozer: you mean you don't know how to use it, or?
[23:09] <outlaw-666> is there any command line, to force USB's to get recognized ?
[23:09] <CountryfiedLinux> I almost misspelled it as kurrent haha :P
[23:09] <daftykins> CountryfiedLinux: you mean like 14.10 ? you can't downgrade
[23:09] <drdozer> daftykins, it's not for security, it's so that I can automate things like setting up ssh tunnels into my laptop from my server whenever it is alive at home
[23:09] <daftykins> oh just the package. not familiar with it
[23:09] <_alfalfa> yay that may have fixed it, i now i have gotten more data than i had originally so its past the old trouble spot (rsync)
[23:10] <CountryfiedLinux> No daftykins I mean 14.04. Kdenlive is buggy in 14.10 and 15.04.
[23:10] <_alfalfa> so i guess we now know u get a weird rsync continue problem that wont go away, use truncate to remove some bytes from the end
[23:10] <daftykins> CountryfiedLinux: you can't use packages from other versions, if your base distro is newer
[23:10] <daftykins> it'll break
[23:10] <_alfalfa> which is really odd that has to be a bug in rsync it shouldnt write corrupted data like that
[23:11] <CountryfiedLinux> Ok thanks daftykins I guess I'll revert back to LTS if I can't fix this issue.
[23:11] <_alfalfa> it has enough check sums that should almost neve rhappen
[23:12] <outlaw-666> I need help ... im trying to find out a command line, to force USB's to get recognized. Can anyone help me please ????
[23:14] <daftykins> outlaw-666: you can't force them, either the kernel sees them or it doesn't
[23:14] <daftykins> run "dmesg | tail" and if you don't see a drive connected, try changing ports
[23:17] <outlaw-666> what was that command daftykins ?
[23:17] <_alfalfa> good thing i got rsync to work i already bout the vodka shot to drink while watching this dvd
[23:17] <outlaw-666> it gave me a lot of errors
[23:18] <lasdam1> hi all. I'm stuck in recovery mode because when I try to boot up normally I get stuck in low graphics mode just loading indefinitely. by pressing ESC I noticed the log was full of "start network manager OK", like at least 20 entries of that, and also Gnome Manager OK was entered twice.
[23:18] <lasdam1> all I think I did and could find that I did before this happened was remove selinux which I installed before and which did not cause this problem, as I rebooted several times without problems. I've opened up all top 10 entries from google and followed the various instructions, like re-install intel drivers, add some different repository,
[23:18] <lasdam1> reinstall ubuntu-desktop, reinstall gdm, and more. I'm basically out of ideas.
[23:18] <_alfalfa> maybe outlaw-666  jus tneeds to mount the usb device
[23:19] <outlaw-666> i did the lsusb ...
[23:19] <outlaw-666> and i think it showed me the usb i need
[23:19] <outlaw-666> but ... im not sure
[23:19] <outlaw-666> and only in that list
[23:21] <_alfalfa> outlaw-666, oh well im not an expert but if it shows up on lsusb maybe you just need to mount it
[23:21] <_alfalfa> what kind of file system is on the usb
[23:21] <_alfalfa> some usb devices you can just mount as a file system
[23:21] <_alfalfa> what kind of device is it ?
[23:21] <outlaw-666> a buch of files
[23:21] <outlaw-666> its a SD card
[23:21] <_alfalfa> what did you use to put the files on it ?
[23:22] <_alfalfa> just as a memory stick in another comptuer ?
[23:22] <_alfalfa> cant u type faster thnat that im trying to help here
[23:22] <_alfalfa> cant u type faster thnat that im trying to help here
[23:22] <daftykins> outlaw-666: do this then if it's plugged in, "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[23:22] <_alfalfa> im p inging u like  crazy
[23:23] <_alfalfa> if u added files to it using a computer it could be formatted ms fat or ext2 i think
[23:23] <teward> _alfalfa: you should calm down and have a little bit of patience.
[23:23] <outlaw-666> daftykins, it did not recognize it
[23:24] <outlaw-666> it showed me my USB hdd
[23:24] <daftykins> outlaw-666: then either your card reader doesn't work or it's just not showing up
[23:24] <outlaw-666> but it did not show me my sd card
[23:24] <outlaw-666> yeah, if i place it on my cell phone, it says it needs format
[23:24] <_alfalfa> i thought you said it showed via lsusb
[23:24] <outlaw-666> but im trying to recover any file on it
[23:25] <daftykins> well you should see the card listed at all, with "dmesg | tail" after plugging it in
[23:25] <daftykins> unplug it, run "dmesg | tail | pastebinit" then plug it in and repeat that command
[23:25] <daftykins> let us see the difference
[23:25] <outlaw-666> the only place i see it is here
[23:26] <outlaw-666> at the top of lsusb
[23:26] <outlaw-666> Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:0119 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Storage Device (SD card reader)
[23:26] <daftykins> that's a reader though not a card
[23:26] <daftykins> please just follow what i say :)
[23:26] <outlaw-666> ohhh so the card is not shown ?
[23:27] <outlaw-666> i dont know how to run the tail part
[23:27] <daftykins> i gave you the full command
[23:27] <outlaw-666> the dmesg i ran before
[23:27] <outlaw-666> ok, ill try
[23:27] <daftykins> copy + paste
[23:27] <_alfalfa> would this help outlaw-666 ?  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/53542/how-to-determine-the-filesystem-of-an-unmounted-device
[23:27] <_alfalfa> shows how to detect file syhstem on a device
[23:27] <daftykins> _alfalfa: no that's useless, please don't help when you're unfamiliar
[23:28] <outlaw-666> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673541/
[23:28] <_alfalfa> why if he sees the usb device ti shoudl be avail in /dev shouldnt it
[23:28] <outlaw-666> oh wai, i messed up
[23:28] <daftykins> outlaw-666: so that's referring to seeing an 'sdc'
[23:28] <outlaw-666> gonna run without it
[23:29] <daftykins> what?
[23:29] <daftykins> _alfalfa: a reader is not a card.
[23:29] <outlaw-666> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673549/
[23:29] <outlaw-666> this is without the card reader on the pc
[23:29] <outlaw-666> now with it
[23:29] <_alfalfa> hes trying to use a magnetic strip reader ?
[23:29] <_alfalfa> that does sound "outlaw"
[23:29] <daftykins> what.
[23:30] <daftykins> what an absolute...
[23:30] <outlaw-666> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673562/
[23:30] <daftykins> outlaw-666: no i was saying unplug the card, but i can see sdc is the device now. can you run "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit" ?
[23:30] <daftykins> buffer IO error, oh dear
[23:30] <outlaw-666> btw, i have a external hdd with usb
[23:31] <outlaw-666> just to let you know
[23:31] <daftykins> yeah maybe that's sdb
[23:31] <akkad> what on a default ubutnu system might add things to iptables drop?
[23:33] <outlaw-666> daftykins, btw .. this Sd card, has a Xubuntu install on it , and a Android memory on it also ... i used it before, and it kinda broke ... so now i have a real hdd on a external case ... but im trying to recover something from the card
[23:33] <daftykins> outlaw-666: i just want the answers to the commands i've asked for :) not life stories each time
[23:33] <outlaw-666> lol
[23:34] <daftykins> win 13
[23:34] <daftykins> oops
[23:34] <outlaw-666> the fdisk you wanted with the sd card plugged , right ?
[23:34] <daftykins> correct
[23:34] <outlaw-666> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673587/
[23:35] <outlaw-666> so doc ? what the life expectancy ?
[23:35] <outlaw-666> lol
[23:35] <outlaw-666> should i order a coffin allready ?
[23:35] <bekks> The patient already died.
[23:35] <daftykins> it's not even talking about sdc, novel
[23:35] <daftykins> yeah what bekks said
[23:36] <sterns> hello, looking for alpha testers for an instant messaging app: https://github.com/mattcollier/noxious
[23:36] <outlaw-666> ohh my god, he was so young ... he has 2 small kids
[23:36] <outlaw-666> lol
[23:36] <daftykins> i'd probably try to 'dd' up the card onto disk then try testdisk but i don't know if either are going to help
[23:36] <Cipher45> Can I just move stuff from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin with a simple mv command?
[23:36] <outlaw-666> try what daftykins  ?
[23:36] <outlaw-666> O.o
[23:36] <bekks> Cipher45: technically, you can - practically, you will break things.
[23:37] <Cipher45> bekks, I'm trying to set something up as a daemon. How would I move it otherwise?
[23:37] <daftykins> bekks: what would you say about 'dd' and testdisk? worth a shot?
[23:38] <bekks> daftykins: Yeah, worth a try.
[23:38] <bekks> Cipher45: Then why dont yu setup the daemon but move stuff instead?
[23:39] <daftykins> outlaw-666: how big is the card?
[23:39] <outlaw-666> 16gb
[23:39] <sudormrf> daftykins, is there a way to disable all USB ports in Ubuntu?
[23:39] <daftykins> outlaw-666: you got that much space free?
[23:39] <daftykins> sudormrf: ask the channel not me
[23:39] <outlaw-666> on the HDD ? yeah
[23:40] <sudormrf> is there a way to disable all USB ports in Ubuntu?
[23:40] <sudormrf> after GRUB
[23:40] <daftykins> outlaw-666: image up the card as it is right now then, to avoid any further breakage. run "sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/home/username/cardimage bs=2M"
[23:40] <Cipher45> bekks, Sorry I'm a little confused. I can't setup the daemon because when I move the files it will break things?
[23:41] <sudormrf> think I found it
[23:41] <sudormrf> nm
[23:41] <garrettr> sudormrf: Grsecurity has some useful toggles for disabling USB: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Grsecurity/Appendix/Grsecurity_and_PaX_Configuration_Options#Physical_Protections
[23:41] <sudormrf> garrettr, thanks :)
[23:41] <bekks> Cipher45: Why do you try to move files when your task is to setup a daemon?
[23:41] <outlaw-666> daftykins, sorry man, im a real noob ... what really should i run again ?
[23:42] <akkad> fail2ban?
[23:42] <outlaw-666> i copy pasted that .. i guess it was not how it was done
[23:42] <Cupidslate> hey guys
[23:42] <daftykins> outlaw-666: why don't you just *re-read* my messages?
[23:43] <outlaw-666> im giving u my most attention
[23:43] <daftykins> and you're asking me to repeat things which are on your screen? i don't get it
[23:43] <Cipher45> bekks, Because I'm using an init.d from the programs website. It assumes the program will be in /usr/bin. I may just move it and see what happens. What should I expect to break?
[23:43] <outlaw-666> you asked me if i had the card space free on my hdd, i said yes
[23:43] <bekks> Cipher45: Fix that script instead.
[23:43] <outlaw-666> and you told me that we were going to do something in order to prevent further breakage
[23:44] <daftykins> outlaw-666: read my message
[23:44] <outlaw-666> the last one ?
[23:44] <outlaw-666> where u told me to run a command ?
[23:44] <daftykins> the one with the command in it.
[23:44] <outlaw-666> yeah, i copied it and pasted it on terminal
[23:44] <Cipher45> bekks, I'll try that. Thanks for the help!
[23:44] <outlaw-666> nothing happened, error
[23:45] <daftykins> which was it? either an error or nothing happened
[23:45] <sudormrf> garrettr, I was thinking something along the lines of "echo "blacklist usb-storage" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" except usb-storage would be the USB ports
[23:45] <outlaw-666> dd: failed to open ‘/home/username/cardimage’: No such file or directory
[23:45] <sudormrf> or it looks like I need to figure out the driver that is being used for the root hub and blacklist that
[23:47] <daftykins> outlaw-666: you realise you have to substitute 'username' with your username?
[23:47] <outlaw-666> lol, i did not even read , sorry
[23:47]  * daftykins sharpens a penguin
[23:48] <daftykins> !pm
[23:49] <daftykins> !paste
[23:49] <daftykins> outlaw-666: please don't do that again
[23:49] <Yuken> Is there anyway to connect to a WPA2 network in the terminal, on a base server install, without installing any other programs?
[23:49] <outlaw-666> sorry daftykins :(
[23:49] <daftykins> Yuken: it involves hellish fun with wpa-supplicant i think
[23:50] <Yuken> daftykins: I believe you have to install that.. I don't have that, XD.
[23:50] <daftykins> server 14.04.1 at least has a bunch of wireless packages
[23:50] <Yuken> daftykins: Screwed my Windows 7 install, deciding to upgrade, but all I had on hand in terms of live USB's is Ubuntu Mini.
[23:50] <Yuken> daftykins: Loaded it up, chose "Base Server Install".
[23:51] <daftykins> nasty
[23:51] <Yuken> No way to connect?
[23:51] <outlaw-666> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673663/
[23:51] <Yuken> I know iwconfig can connect to WEP networks.
[23:51] <Yuken> But, I don't haz a wep network.
[23:51] <daftykins> Yuken: can't you get on wired? :) even temporarily
[23:51] <daftykins> you could reconfigure it once
[23:51] <Yuken> daftykins: Parents have it set up weirdly, only wireless has internet access.
[23:52] <daftykins> outlaw-666: looks like it doesn't want to know
[23:52] <outlaw-666> so ? no more hope on it ?
[23:52] <outlaw-666> or did i do anything wrong ?
[23:52] <daftykins> you can repeat changing USB port
[23:52] <Arrick> anyone in here using xubuntu?
[23:52] <outlaw-666> ok
[23:52] <Yuken> daftykins: I would install a full Ubuntu Live CD onto an SD Card, but the PC I am using right now is _entirely_ locked down. No admin, no way to access external devices, etc
[23:52] <daftykins> but nope i'm done trying there i'm afraid
[23:53] <daftykins> Yuken: sounds like you should inform your parents you're living in a prison
[23:53] <clmclm> Arrick, specific xfce question?
[23:54] <outlaw-666> daftykins, nope .. changed port, same error
[23:54] <Arrick> clmclm, video
[23:54] <outlaw-666> i guess ill try a backside port .. and after that, i ill try to format it on the cell phone
[23:54] <clmclm> Arrick, ask your question
[23:54] <Arrick> hey all, I am trying to get my max resolution onto the hp z200 sff I just put xubuntu on, and it has an intel vga card capable of 1680x1050... Howver, the max resolution showing up is 1024x768.. I ran gtf 1680 1050 60.00 and I get the following line # 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz Modeline "1680x1050_60.00"  147.14  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087  -HSync +Vsyncso... I ran xrandr  --newmode "1680x1050_60.00"  1
[23:54] <Arrick> 47.14  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087  -HSync +Vsync and it gives me an error saying X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
[23:54] <Yuken> daftykins: So, anyway I can access a WPA network, or am I screwed?
[23:55] <daftykins> Yuken: try looking up a WPA supplicant guide for it, otherwise it's game over
[23:55] <Yuken> daftykins: That isn't installed, XD.
[23:55] <daftykins> outlaw-666: i thought you wanted the data on it...
[23:55] <Arrick> I had gotten the resolution to work in ubuntu but I couldnt get the resolution to stick
[23:58] <Yuken> daftykins: Do you think I could connect it directly to this PC, download the wpa-supplicant package, and copy it over? (Connect via ethernet)
[23:58] <Yuken> daftykins: If so, how?
[23:58] <outlaw-666> daftykins, thanks anyway man
[23:58] <outlaw-666> sorry i did something wrong :(
[23:58] <daftykins> sorry sounds like too much of a hassle than it's worth.
[23:59] <outlaw-666> its dead, going to try to format it on the cell phone


[02:14] <lightwise> hello, i have a quick question, something i havent noticed before with any distro. when i do a uptime in bash it says 0 users, is this normal?
[02:18] <holstein> lightwise: are you familiar with navigating TTY's?
[02:18] <lightwise> no
[02:18] <holstein> you get to them like this... but *dont* do anything just yet
[02:18] <holstein> or you'll get somewhere you dont know how to get back from
[02:19] <lightwise> my main concern is
[02:19] <lightwise> is this normal?
[02:19] <holstein> let me tell you how to get back to where you are...
[02:19] <holstein> control+alt+F7
[02:19] <lightwise> ive ran quite a few distros and havent seen 0 users before in an uptime
[02:19] <holstein> you can navigate to TTY1
[02:19] <holstein> login
[02:19] <holstein> and run uptime
[02:19] <holstein> then, you'll see users 1
[02:19] <lightwise> ah
[02:19] <lightwise> i appreciate your help, like i said, i was just curious something funny wasnt going on
[02:19] <holstein> control+alt+F*
[02:19] <holstein> thats how you get between them
[02:20] <holstein> and 7 is likely where you are
[02:20] <holstein> you dont *have* to test it this way though
[02:20] <holstein> you could log in as a different user you make in the GUI
[02:22] <lightwise> holstein:
[02:22] <lightwise> so this is ok then? its supposed to say 0 users?
[02:23] <holstein> lightwise: i mean, it says 0 on my termimal
[02:23] <lightwise> yes
[02:23] <holstein> then i login somewhere else, and it says 1
[02:23] <lightwise> but you arent answering my question
[02:23] <lightwise> hehe
[02:23] <lightwise> this is ok?
[02:23] <holstein> i havent looked at any documentation
[02:23] <holstein> and i wont say 'everything is fine' when i dont know for sure
[02:23] <holstein> but, it looks normal
[02:23] <lightwise> 21:23:43 up 7 days, 20:31,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05
[02:24] <lightwise> haha
[02:24] <holstein> right
[02:24] <holstein> thats what mine says, and has said
[02:24] <lightwise> ok
[02:24] <lightwise> im not worried then
[02:24] <lightwise> a couple others have said it also
[02:24] <holstein> i just assumed that was the way it is supposed to be
[02:24] <lightwise> like i said, i never saw that before in an uptime
[02:24] <lightwise> there was always at least 1-3 users being displayed
[02:24] <lightwise> i love lubuntu
[02:25] <holstein> yeah, its nice
[02:25] <lightwise> i believe this is my new favorite distro flavor
[02:25] <holstein> im using xubuntu right now
[02:25] <lightwise> ive ran that one too
[02:25] <holstein> but, i have lubuntu installed a couple places
[02:25] <holstein> and i use the live CD often now
[02:25] <lightwise> i think ive ran just about everything in the top 30 on distrowatch.com
[02:25] <lightwise> lol
[02:25] <holstein> its light and elegant
[02:30] <lightwise> yep
[02:34] <lightwise> thanks again man
[03:33] <Ahmuck> how do i add fonts to the system?
[03:35] <Unit193> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[04:01] <etfb> Hi. Is there a way to install fonts without fiddling with the shell?  "Standard" Ubuntu has the Font Viewer, with which I can just click Install and the font is ready to use.  Is there an equivalent in Lubuntu?
[04:02] <holstein> etfb: you can have that.. its called 'font viewer' ?
[04:03] <holstein> gnome-font-viewer - font viewer for GNOME
[04:03] <holstein> ^^ you think thats it?
[04:04] <holstein> i would select it and see if it wants to pull in a bunch of gnome stuff
[04:04] <holstein> if not, just use it :)
[04:05] <etfb> holstein: Ah, I forgot about Gnome's slack-arse "namespacing" workaround in their packages. Thanks!
[04:05] <etfb> Yes, it's only pulling in gnome-utils-common. Let's see if it works...
[04:05] <holstein> cool, thats not too bad
[04:06] <etfb> Aaaaand... nothing.  Bunch of error messages.
[04:06] <holstein> how so?
[04:06] <holstein> what errors?
[04:06] <etfb> Oh, hang on - after the messages, a usage hint.
[04:06] <holstein> it really shouldnt matter
[04:06] <holstein> lubuntu = ubuntu
[04:07] <etfb> (The messages were all along the lines of "can't find theming engine")
[04:07] <etfb> So you wouldn't expect that to matter.  Will try with a filename in the command.
[04:10] <etfb> Woot! It worked!
[04:10] <etfb> Thanks for that, holstein!
[04:11] <holstein> etfb: :)
[04:14] <etfb> Hey, any idea if LibreOffice will Just Work in Lubuntu?  I would use AbiWord but LO doesn't appear to read its document files.
[04:16] <Unit193> Save them ask ODT files, it should work. If you don't want to do that, just remember LibreOffice isn't as lightweight
[04:16] <Unit193> s/ask/as/g
[04:18] <Unit193> etfb: You may also want to install libreoffice-gtk so it fits better with the theme
[04:21] <_SuperVillain> been using lubuntu 11.10 for a few days now, love it, super fast :) great job lubuntu team
[04:22] <Unit193> Well, we like it ;)
[04:23] <Unit193> skaet: You're not identified, how do I know you're not the evil clone? ;)
[04:25] <Folklore> how can I run the same app over and over, trying to stress test a server
[04:25] <Folklore> need simple script or something to run like 1000 copies of an app
[04:27] <skaet> Unit193,  have identified now, not evil clone,  just sleepy release manager about to go zzz  :)
[04:31] <Unit193> Folklore: Server? And have you looked in the repo for a good program? Maybe one like crashme?  apt-cache search stress test   gave a few
[04:32] <Folklore> the server is my code
[04:32] <Folklore> i just need a script I can run to run the client app 100 times
[04:32] <Folklore> 10000 times
[04:32] <Folklore> to see if it handles it locally
[04:38] <Unit193> I've slacked off a bit with scripting, but here's a guide :P http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide
[04:38] <Folklore> thanks I probably just need a simple loop
[04:38] <Folklore> for i=1,i++
[04:38] <Folklore> ./clientapp
[04:39] <Folklore> for i=1,i=10000,i++
[04:39] <Folklore> kinda thing
[04:39] <Folklore> heheh
[04:43] <etfb> Folklore: for added stress-testing, make it ./clientapp&, so all the instances are running simultaneously...
[04:43] <Folklore> never seen the &
[04:44] <etfb> Yep. A command like foo ; bar runs 'foo' first, waits until it exits, then runs bar.  Whereas foo & bar runs foo and then, as soon as foo has loaded and started, it runs bar as well.
[04:45] <etfb> So if there's nothing after the &, it basically means "load the program and run it but go on to the next command line without waiting.
[04:46] <etfb> I'm rusty on Bash, but I think this is what you want, Folklore:
[04:46] <Folklore> etfb awesome, you rock sir
[04:46] <etfb> for (( i = 1; $i < 10; i ++ )); do MYCOMMAND& ; done
[04:47] <Folklore> found some bash script to try too
[04:47] <etfb> Ah, leave out the semi-colon after the ampersand.
[04:49] <etfb> I just tried it myself, using gnome-font-viewer since it was one program I had to hand.   Which I now have to go and close, dangit...
[04:49] <Folklore> it amazes me how fast lubuntu boots
[04:49] <Folklore> how little harddrive and cpu it uses
[04:50] <Folklore> this things a work of art, no other distro been so smooth
[04:50] <etfb> Oh, and of course gnome-font-viewer ignores both Ctrl+Q and Alt+F4... d'oh!
[04:50] <Unit193> etfb: killall is your friend :P
[04:50] <Folklore> is there a easy way to kill all the processes after via script
[04:51] <Folklore> or should I have server just send a cmd to do it
[04:51] <Folklore> yeah ill just do that via network
[04:51] <Folklore> that way can stress test send and recieve
[04:51] <Folklore> ontop of connects
[04:52] <Folklore> server uses epoll and pthreads
[04:52] <etfb> Folklore: Yes, I'm impressed with Ubuntu.  I had a couple of old desktop Win98 boxen that were useless for anything else.  Cost me $100 each at the computer fair in Canberra.  Now they're running Lubuntu and there's zero lag.
[04:52] <Folklore> I found epoll wrapper code for kqueue yesterday, rocks
[04:52] <etfb> s/Ubuntu/Lubuntu/; of course.
[04:52] <Folklore> nice :D
[04:52] <etfb> Tried Ubuntu 11.04 on them and Unity barfed.
[04:53] <Folklore> ubuntu was a resource HOG
[04:53] <etfb> Folklore: I'm old enough to remember when Windows 95 was a resource hog.
[04:53] <etfb> "16 colour screen *required*? What are they, fascists?"
[04:56] <Folklore> hehe
[04:58] <Folklore> reminds of old mac commericals for some reason
[04:58] <Folklore> when they were bragging about like 2 mbs of ram
[04:59] <Folklore> or something like that :P
[04:59] <Folklore> idk my first pc was a pentium 1
[04:59] <Folklore> was around the time AOL dialup was popular
[04:59] <genoobie> hey all
[04:59] <genoobie> I mapped a network drive using pcman
[04:59] <Folklore> heya
[05:00] <genoobie> how can I get it so that in file dialogs I can browse to that location?
[05:01] <genoobie> so if I am in an application, such as "libreoffice"
[05:01] <genoobie> I can  find that mapping...
[05:01] <genoobie> hrm.
[05:22] <Folklore> there a easy way to download a random http file via bash
[05:22] <Folklore> and save to a path
[05:23] <Folklore> ahh wget cool
[05:23] <bioterror> curl -O :D
[05:27] <Folklore> I been using dropbox to upload source files to access them via lubuntu in vbox
[05:27] <Folklore> getting of tired of typing in firefox URL bar for each file
[05:27] <Folklore> this bash script thing makes it LOT easier lol
[05:27] <Folklore> just delete old copies and grab new and compile
[05:28] <bioterror> why not just install dropbox application?
[05:28] <bioterror> or am I missing something?
[05:28] <Folklore> install it where
[05:29] <Unit193> bioterror: Yeah, you're missing that they use U1 now ;)
[05:29] <bioterror> is it better?-)
[05:29] <bioterror> I'm still living in the past and using scp and server some where in a datacenter
[05:33] <Folklore> this bash script works
[05:33] <Folklore> if I ./ in a already open terminal
[05:34] <Folklore> but trying to double click it lets me execute or in a terminal
[05:34] <Folklore> neither is workin and it shows nothin
[05:34] <Folklore> any ideas why
[05:38] <Folklore> eh doesn't matter
[07:20] <Folklore> the entire freenodes is quiet right now
[08:04] <Ahmuck> what is the mic program for lubuntu?
[08:05] <bioterror> do you mean sound recorder?
[08:07] <shiva_n> Anyone get lubuntu 12.04 working on VirtualBox? I have a problem explained at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1889114 , which I am sure has some known fix that I am not able to find
[08:08] <Ahmuck> like for skype
[08:08] <Ahmuck> i have a mic, but no sound is happening
[08:08] <bioterror> Ahmuck, open terminal and run command: alsamixer
[08:09] <Ahmuck> hrm, shows mic
[08:12] <Ahmuck> where are fontś normally installed on lubuntu?
[08:12] <bioterror> shiva_n, y u 12.04 when there's no alpha released?
[08:13] <bioterror> shiva_n, if you run development releases, you really should know what to do with bugs
[08:14] <bioterror> last time I checked, ubuntuforums is not ubuntus bug tracker site
[08:23] <Ascavasaion> Morning.  Can someone recommend me a lightweight music programme like Rhythmbox for my old AMD Duron machine?
[08:24] <Ascavasaion> Audacious does not have enough features like sorting artists, etc.
[08:26] <bioterror> I have my music categorized at the directery level
[08:26] <bioterror> like Music/Rock/Artist/Album/
[08:26] <bioterror> and I use MOC ;)
[08:26] <Unit193> !crosspost | Ascavasaion
[08:26]  * Ascavasaion Googles MOC
[08:26] <Ascavasaion> Well, excuse me.
[08:27] <shiva_n> bioterror, I dont think its a bug with Lubuntu. I was trying to do some ISO testing.
[08:27] <bioterror> even if it's a bug in ubuntu lubuntu kubuntu xubuntu edubuntu, it should be posted to launchpad
[08:29] <shiva_n> I have a feeling its got something to do with VirtualBox or something I am doing wrong (though I cant imagine what since I am doing a default install)
[08:29] <shiva_n> I need to confirm this, so I thought I will ask on here if anyone got it running on VBox
[08:30] <Unit193> bug 894768
[08:32] <bioterror> shiva_n, is that a AMD64 or i686?
[08:32] <bioterror> sorry, i386
[08:32] <bioterror> "we are dropping support from i586 cpu's, but we still keep naming the isos with i386"
[08:35] <shiva_n> i686
[08:35] <shiva_n> oops sorry that is AMD64
[08:36] <shiva_n> brain fading...need food...missus calling...away for dinner!
[08:49] <bioterror> just made 12.04 usb stick
[08:49] <bioterror> booting for the first time, takes few mins to install
[09:08] <bioterror> first boot!
[09:09] <bioterror> hahaha
[09:09] <bioterror> blinking
[09:09] <bioterror> between something and init
[09:10] <bioterror> hahaha, cant even go to tty
[09:52] <bioterror> I have to admit I have no idea what's wrong with that 12.04 installation
[09:53] <bioterror> there's no init 5 any more, and lxdm is replaced with lightdm
[10:22] <faLUCE> hi, I'm using the integrated graphics of a i5 2400 CPU. Unfortunately, the os doesn't detects it and I'm forced to use vesa at low resolution. how can I solve?
[11:27] <Ascavasaion> I have an old AMD Duron 1300MHz PC with 384Mb RAM.  I might be able to get my hands on 3 x 256 = 768Mb RAM.  I presume the old thing will run reasonably better with the jump from 384Mb to 768Mb RAM?
[11:29] <JohnDoe_71Rus> more ram better anyway
[11:30] <Ascavasaion> Thank you.  Guy just SMSed me to say that he only had 128Mb DIMMS and not the 256Mb DIMMS he claimed in the classified ad.  :(  So bleh!
[11:32] <bioterror> I have here on my table 2x 256MB DDR2 SDRAM, you can come and pick them ;)
[11:33] <Ascavasaion> bioterror: I wish hehe  But a tad far from South Africa :)
[11:33] <JohnDoe_71Rus> dimm is simple. i can't find rambus :(
[11:33] <bioterror> hahaha
[11:33] <bioterror> RD800!
[11:34] <bioterror> RDRAM800
[11:34] <JohnDoe_71Rus> yes
[11:34] <bioterror> you have Xeon?
[11:34] <JohnDoe_71Rus> P4
[11:34] <bioterror> close enough
[11:34] <bioterror> RDRAM is expensive
[11:35] <JohnDoe_71Rus> intel D850MV
[11:35] <bioterror> I have couple of "terminators" or what are those blank thingies you put into mobo when you dont use all the RDRAM slots
[11:36] <JohnDoe_71Rus> i have only 2x256Mb, not enouth
[11:36] <bioterror> I had hmm
[11:36] <bioterror> cant remember
[11:36] <bioterror> it was a dual core xeon, I think it was couple of gigs
[11:36] <bioterror> or dual socket, to be honest
[11:37] <bioterror> from wikipedia: In 2002, benchmarks pointed out that single-channel DDR400 SDRAM modules could closely match dual-channel 1066 MHz RDRAM in everyday applications
[11:37] <bioterror> ;)
[11:38] <JohnDoe_71Rus> or find motherboard with ddr memory
[11:40] <Ascavasaion> If a motherboard takes a certain type of processor, but only speeds of "500 to 1GHz or higher", is there no way to get a 2.2Ghz processor to run in it?  I know it is not, but I can only hope hehe
[11:40] <bioterror> it's about the sockets
[11:41] <JohnDoe_71Rus> Ascavasaion: Hope springs eternal
[11:41]  * Ascavasaion chuckles.
[11:42] <bioterror> my mother board uses AM3+ socket

[14:13] <Ascavasaion> HOw do I play mp3s through lubuntu?
[17:08] <skaet> heya,  just wanted to let you know lubuntu alpha 1 is released now.
[18:28] <Cipi> Does anyone know how to boot lubuntu and install it from USB stick?
[18:29] <Cipi> Can be installed with UNetBootin - ubuntu ?
[18:29] <Cipi> Anyone know this?
[18:32] <michaelrawson> Cipi: Yeah, you can do it.
[18:32] <michaelrawson> Format the USB and make a partition over the lot.
[18:32] <michaelrawson> (unless you have something on there, in which case, don't)
[18:32] <michaelrawson> then download the lubuntu ISO
[18:33] <michaelrawson> then use the "ISO" option of unetbootin, select the ISO, and the USB, and away you go.
[18:33] <Cipi> Yep, Thanks alot man.
[18:33] <Cipi> Another question. Does lubuntu have ubuntu software center and Additional drivers manager ?
[18:43] <Cipi> Thanks. I will give lubuntu a try.
