[18:36] <DF3D2> daftykins, well im not sure it is irrelevant here
[18:36] <daftykins> DF3D2: it is.
[18:37] <acovrig> daftykins, it is, but the IT dept can't figure out how to connect via wpa_supplicant themselves (they're using a pi).  I've done it before so I know it's possible on the network, just not sure how.  I have a windows and mac machine that can connect, any ideas on extracting parameters for wpa_supplicant from one of those?
[18:37] <DF3D2> daftykins, not sure what this means <daftykins> DF3D2: expecting to see audio formats in the OS beneath kodi, is your mistake
[18:37] <daftykins> DF3D2: yeah, further convo in #kodi please
[18:38] <DF3D2> daftykins, it may very well be a pulseaudio/ubuntu setup issue
[18:38] <DF3D2> but okay...
[18:38] <daftykins> no, because bitstreaming has nothing to do with that
[18:38] <irgendwer4711> hi, does Thunar report its events to zeitgeist?
[18:38] <DF3D2> Well pulseaudio is what passes the stream I would think?
[18:42] <Chuck_Norris> DF3D2: alsamixer
[18:44] <DF3D2> Chuck_Norris, I checked alsamixer
[18:44] <DF3D2> all it has for 750ti is 4 SPDIF settings, all enabled
[18:45] <Chuck_Norris> DF3D2: it's doesn't have "Stereo Upmix"?
[18:45] <daftykins> sorry guys but you're chasing down the wrong rabbit hole here
[18:46] <DF3D2> http://imgur.com/Ou6V3MR
[18:46] <daftykins> wrong channel
[18:47] <Chuck_Norris> DF3D2: no no, open a terminal en write: alsamixer   then press <enter>
[18:48] <daftykins> Chuck_Norris: this is not an ubuntu query.

[18:48] <Chuck_Norris> daftykins: are you a moderator?
[18:49] <daftykins> Chuck_Norris: is that relevant to knowing an issue is to do with the player software and not the OS? :)
[18:50] <Chuck_Norris> if am admin write Chuck_Norris stop trying to help him then i'll stop, but, AFAIC he is using ubuntu and it could be related to some miss set up in Alsa, or it could not, but... i least i am trying to help -.-
[18:51] <Chuck_Norris> if an*
[18:51] <daftykins> Chuck_Norris: i understand that but i'm trying to help you from wasting your time since this is a #kodi issue and we are now in that channel speaking about it :)
[18:51] <Chuck_Norris> ok ok
[18:51] <daftykins> Chuck_Norris: do you know of XBMC/Kodi? if not, it's best to leave it as it's not an OS thing
[18:52] <gargsms> My ~/Downloads folder contents just disappeared. The hard disk is filled to the same capacity but I cannot find the files anywhere.
[18:52] <EriC^^> gargsms: do you remember the name of a file?

[18:53] <gargsms> EriC^^, all the files in Downloads folder vanished
[18:53] <Chuck_Norris> daftykins: i used XBMC, but, i wasn't going to help him setting up Kodi, i just wanted to know if in alsamixer he has "Stereo Upmix" as i do
[18:53] <holstein> gargsms: maybe, you asked something to clear it, like a browser
[18:53] <gargsms> No
[18:53] <DF3D2> Chuck_Norris, I also believe it could be related to pulseaudio or something but he seems sure it isn't....
[18:53] <DF3D2> who knows :\
[18:53] <EriC^^> gargsms: do you remember the name of a file?
[18:54] <epyx> is using Pidgin for Facebook safe?
[18:54] <EriC^^> ( or part of it )
[18:54] <gargsms> EriC^^, holstein Yes I do remember the names of all files and I used 'sudo find / -name "<filenames>"'
[18:54] <gargsms> It returned no results
[18:54] <holstein> gargsms: when things "vanish" from my hard drive, i immediatey shutdown, and backup with a live iso and start running tests.. though, i usually find they didnt actually vanish
[18:54] <holstein> gargsms: why are you using sudo? to find files in your users /home?
[18:55] <Chuck_Norris> DF3D2: yeah, who knows, at least there is #alsa #pulse #kodi, and all that, think xD
[18:55] <gargsms> I thought maybe they have gone to places, so I searched everywhere
[18:55] <EriC^^> gargsms: try it with -iname "*partofit*
[18:55] <gargsms> holstein, to my misfortune, I am using ecryptfs, so fsck does not help either
[18:56] <gargsms> EriC^^, find -iname 'filename' ?
[18:56] <EriC^^> gargsms: "*partofit*" , also check the history for mishaps
[18:56] <holstein> gargsms: and, thats only assuming a filesystem issue..
[18:56] <fjg> exit
[18:56] <EriC^^> gargsms: sudo find -iname "*filename*"
[18:57] <EriC^^> gargsms: sudo find / -iname "*filename*"
[18:58] <Chuck_Norris> DF3D2: http://i.imgur.com/lwg2D5w.png
[18:58] <DF3D2> Chuck_Norris, yes, I know how to use alsamixer
[18:58] <rogo> How can I uninstall a converted tgz package?    http://roelaro21.twentyone.axc.nl/press/5.png
[18:59] <DF3D2> the 750ti only has 4 spdif channels under alsamixer, and all are enabled
[18:59] <holstein> rogo: what was it "converted" to?
[18:59] <Chuck_Norris> DF3D2: ok ok. back to my things :P
[18:59] <rogo> @holstein: I converted it to a deb file.
[19:00] <Chuck_Norris> rogo: what is the name of that .tgz?
[19:00] <Gay-champion> § anyone can create me a yahoo account? §
[19:01] <holstein> Gay-champion: not here.. ask at yahoo..
[19:01] <rogo> @chuck_Norris: 5_144-2_all.tgz
[19:02] <Gay-champion> because I do not have the mobile phone
[19:02] <k1l> !ot | Gay-champion
[19:02] <Chuck_Norris> rogo: or better, the name of the .deb once converted
[19:02] <holstein> Gay-champion: sure.. ask yahoo for support.. https://help.yahoo.com/kb/support-free-charge-yahoo-sln6349.html
[19:02] <rogo> @Chuck_Norris: 5_144-2_all.deb
[19:02] <Chuck_Norris> rogo: try: sudo dpkg -r 5
[19:03] <holstein> rogo: if i wanted a gui, i would search in synaptic.. otherwise, you should be able to use the commandline... did you install the .deb? if so, how?
[19:03] <gargsms> EriC^^, all it shows are the dc++ filelist cache that I have shared
[19:03] <rogo> I installed the .deb with Ubuntu Software Center
[19:04] <EriC^^> gargsms: check the history maybe
[19:04] <Chuck_Norris> rogo: or: sudo dpkg -r 5_144
[19:04] <holstein> rogo: there is a gui for gdebi as well..
[19:04] <EriC^^> ( type history in the terminal )
[19:05] <gargsms> EriC^^, in case I accidentally deleted all the contents, the hard disk space usage should have gone low, but it stays the same.
[19:05] <gargsms> How to check history?
[19:05] <EriC^^> gargsms: type history
[19:05] <holstein> gargsms: you can type "history" in the terminal
[19:05] <Chuck_Norris> Granis: press Ctrl+R
[19:06] <Chuck_Norris> gargsms: press Ctrl+R
[19:06] <rogo> thanks all: that command made it disappear:  (Reading database ... 629694 files and directories currently installed.) Removing 5 (144-2) ...
[19:06] <rogo> :-)
[19:07]  * Chuck_Norris thinks the command history is better than Ctrl+R -.-
[19:07] <EriC^^> gargsms: have you used a root shell recently?
[19:07] <Chuck_Norris> rogo: np
[19:07] <holstein> gargsms was using root to search for the files..
[19:07] <gargsms> Not before they disappeared.
[19:07] <joel__> I'm trying to like Ubuntu. Seems to have LOADS of problems
[19:07] <EriC^^> ok, nevermind then
[19:07] <gargsms> holstein, sudo is not root IMO :p
[19:08] <holstein> !ask | joel__
[19:08] <holstein> gargsms: cool.. i think its best to not assume, and test from the beginning. have you tested the hardware?
[19:08] <joel__> I'm trying to add a VPN configuation with no success
[19:08] <holstein> !vpn
[19:09] <holstein> joel__: feel fre and share errors.. i have used ubuntu as the VPN server and client in the past.. many volunteers will be glad to assist.. use #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss for discussion vs support.. thanks!
[19:09] <Gay-champion> anyone here is a programmer unity 3d?
[19:10] <Tobias[L]> joel__: if you use openvpn try it with the commandline : 'openvpn --config /path/to/configfile
[19:10] <holstein> Gay-champion: this is just, as stated before, and in the topic, the ubuntu support channel.. http://unity3d.com/ is where i would go for unity3d questions
[19:11] <gargsms> EriC^^, holstein as per my history, I used webhttrack before I lost everything. I remember a power failure caused my PC to turn off that night.
[19:11] <joel__> I right click on the wifi icon, select VPN Connections, Configure VPN and nothing happens
[19:11] <holstein> gargsms: you lost "everything"? or just ~/Downloads?
[19:11] <gargsms> Then I panicked, so I chmod'ed all the Download/* to 777
[19:11] <holstein> gargsms: a poweroff like that can cause data loss..
[19:11] <gargsms> holstein, just Downloads
[19:11] <holstein> gargsms: so, you did *not* lose "everything". i would start by testing my hardware.. the ram and the hard drive.. if you had a power off force like that, you *can* lose things..
[19:12] <gargsms> One of my friends said he had similar issue earlier and could not recover anything
[19:12] <gargsms> holstein, where to start?
[19:12] <holstein> gargsms: you should have backups, as *all* hard drives *will* fail
[19:12] <gargsms> holstein, I did not. -_-
[19:12] <holstein> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec is the tool i use to try and recover deleted or "lost" data
[19:13] <EriC^^> gargsms: it's probably best to do as holstein is saying and test the hardware first, as you could lose more data potentially, after that maybe use testdisk or other recovery methods, etc. to get the data back.
[19:13] <holstein> gargsms: sure. you can do that going forward, now.. power failures happen, and hard drives *all* fail
[19:13] <gargsms> Anyway, there wasn't too important data in there. I need a list of all files so that I can redownload them
[19:13] <holstein> gargsms: i use the memtest in a live iso, the one i installed ubuntu from.. and i use gsmartcontrol
[19:13] <holstein> gargsms: friend, *all* your data on that drive *will* get lost.. its just a matter of time
[19:13] <EriC^^> gargsms: testdisk can most likely get you that list,
[19:14] <holstein> gargsms: if you had something writing to the disk and the power was cut, you can break the hard drive.. if all i had was a lost ~/Download directory, i would be happy about that..
[19:15] <gargsms> I will try memtest.
[19:15] <holstein> gargsms: memtest *only* tests the memory, and doenst "fix" anything here
[19:16] <holstein> gargsms: you have nothing broken to fix.. if you had a power off, then, that was likely the entire cuase of your loss of data.. these test mentioned dont recover the data.. it just allows you to assure the hard drive is still ok, and not damaged
[19:16] <gargsms> I tried testdisk from another Ubuntu installation that I have. Turns out because I have been using ecryptfs, the data in ~ will not be seen at all.
[19:16] <holstein> gargsms: sure.. thats *another* issue you have to work around.. mounting your drive from a live environement. but, testdisk or photorec *can* be used there
[19:17] <holstein> gargsms: regardless of *any* of that, you need to have a backup of *any* data you want to keep..
[19:17] <gargsms> holstein, maybe you are correct, but my hard disk seems to be filled to the same capacity as before.
[19:17] <gargsms> I WILL KEEP A BACKUP, ALWAYS. :)
[19:17] <holstein> gargsms: no, friend. that is a fact.. its not a maybe. its a matter of time til *all* drives fail.. period
[19:17] <gargsms> holstein, does an external disk suffice for backup?
[19:18] <ubuntu100> does  anyone get this when starting firefox from the terminal
[19:18] <ubuntu100> GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
[19:18] <holstein> gargsms: what will "suffice" is up to you.. if your house or where both drives are stored were to catch fire, then, you can lose *all* that data, and your backup
[19:19] <holstein> gargsms: http://lifehacker.com/5961216/why-you-should-have-more-than-one-backup for example.. but, its up to you what is important and how you want to deal with it..
[19:20] <Tobias[L]> Anyone familiar with battery saving? i have An lenovo ideapad y500 in max config (i7, 16g ram, sli 650m). i've gotten to 2:30 of battery life with as less usage as possible and a brand new battery. that still is far from ideal and yes since it is dual sli lenovo locked the optimus feature out, even a modded bios doesnt bring it back, aswell as both cards always powered (while one is switchable
[19:20] <gargsms> holstein, haha
[19:20] <Tobias[L]> it gives me only a few watts... so any idea appreciated
[19:20] <gargsms> All hard drives *will* eventually fail. Truth of life.
[19:21] <EriC^^> gargsms: life will eventually fail. truth of life.
[19:21] <gargsms> Turns out when I ran the Disk Space Analyzer, I found that all of my ~/Downloads got moved to .dc++ folder
[19:21] <gargsms> EriC^^, holstein ^
[19:21] <gargsms> That is freaking weird
[19:22]  * gargsms goes to buy a new life
[19:22] <Tobias[L]> gargsms: but in the heavy duty test SSD'd ran all over 750 TB of writing and the two best are currently at 2PByte
[19:23] <holstein> Tobias[L]: this is not related to your battery live question
[19:23] <holstein> life*
[19:23] <sam_> hi
[19:23] <ponyofdeath> hi, how can i prevent dnsmasq from overwriting resolv.conf i have port=0 in my dnsmasq.conf
[19:23] <sam_> majic
[19:23] <sam_> magic
[19:23] <Tobias[L]> holstein: i know but in reaction to gargsms
[19:24] <holstein> Tobias[L]: what i find is, trying different GPU drivers, and using specific laptop modes can have a little effect on the perfomance, but, in linux, you typically take a hit in battery life, since, the hardware manufacturer didnt address linux support for you
[19:24]  * gargsms goes to buy a new life *and*  an SSD
[19:24] <holstein> gargsms: *all* drives fail.. SSD's.. etc. buying an ssd doesnt mean you dont need a backup
[19:24] <Tobias[L]> holstein: that is the problem, the laptop runs a full hour longer than under windows
[19:25] <holstein> Tobias[L]: sure, and that is to be expected. the windows support was specifically addressed by the creator of the hardware
[19:25] <gargsms> holstein, for backup obviously. I *will* use cloud backup now. Is that fine?
[19:25] <holstein> Tobias[L]: i have an old netbook that went from 9+ hours in XP to 5 hours in linux.. but, i *want* linux on the hardware, so, i accepted the compromise
[19:25] <Tobias[L]> holstein: you read it wrong
[19:25] <EriC^^> gargsms: you still have the problem of your house catching on fire
[19:25] <holstein> gargsms: again, friend "fine" is up to you.. its your data
[19:26]  * EriC^^ suggests gargsms invest in fire extinguishers
[19:26] <gargsms> holstein, I understand that I am going to lose my data *eventually*
[19:26] <Tobias[L]> holstein: it runs 2:30 in linux and 1:30 in windows... idle
[19:26] <holstein> Tobias[L]: great!.. so whats the problem?
[19:26] <Tobias[L]> holstein: it should reach 5!
[19:26] <Tobias[L]> XD
[19:26] <holstein> Tobias[L]: you can ask "windows" for better driver support
[19:26]  * gargsms is thinking of going to Antarctica
[19:26] <hilbilly> He is too cheap to purchase a 9 cell battery for it.
[19:27] <holstein> Tobias[L]: batteries fail.. if its an older unit, i would be expecting that from it
[19:27] <Tobias[L]> im adressing that by evading this pc altogether for long battery dependency and get myself another 9 hour pc buuut it is a brand new battery and the pc should reach 4-5 hours on average usage
[19:27] <Tobias[L]> hilbilly: it is a 9 cell battery
[19:28] <hilbilly> oh
[19:28] <holstein> Tobias[L]: i would ask the manufacturer.. could be the battery is bad, and may be covered..
[19:30] <Tobias[L]> the other battery held up the same and that was also from manufacturer and i got the model checked already
[19:31] <holstein> Tobias[L]: so, you asked the manufacturer about the expected specs? or just the model #'s?
[19:32] <gargsms> EriC^^, holstein Should I file a bug with LinuxDC++?
[19:32] <Tobias[L]> holstein: i sent the model to them with bad battery life (got a cable fixed aswell) and it came back with "checked trough, cable repaired, not a single problem else*
[19:32] <holstein> gargsms: where did you get the package? a ppa?
[19:33] <gargsms> No, apt-get
[19:33] <holstein> !info linuxdcpp
[19:33] <Gay-champion> Who is a transexual gay here ?
[19:33] <holstein> Gay-champion: please stop that...
[19:33] <ubuntu100> your mom
[19:34] <holstein> !bug | gargsms
[19:34] <holstein> gargsms: though, its not a "Bug" if you had the power shutdown, and that cuased the issue
[19:34] <gargsms> That's why I asked. I cannot give any STRs
[19:35] <gargsms> Heck, even I am not very sure if that happened because of the power failure or something else.
[19:35] <gargsms> I found my data, somehow.
[19:35] <gargsms> holstein, and I will keep backup now. Promise.
[19:35] <holstein> gargsms: literally doenst make a difference to me.. its not my data ;)
[19:35] <EriC^^> gargsms: do you cross your heart and hope to die?
[19:36] <gargsms> EriC^^, I don't know. Maybe my house is getting burnt tonight

[19:44] <Uqbar> hi. ubuntu 14.04 i386. occasionally the "multimedia" keys and my custom shortcuts stop working. unity's standard keyboard shortcuts keep working. restarting the session "fixes" the problem. what should I kill/restart to restore the shortcuts functionality without restarting the whole session?

[19:46] <kleo> here
[19:47] <holstein> kleo: just check the /topic, and use the #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat.. thanks!

[19:47] <kleo> hallo
[19:48] <Uqbar> holstein: what I've found STFW is only generic stuff about shortcuts never working or upgrades killing shortcuts: not my case.
[19:49] <andy114> Hello?
[19:49] <holstein> Uqbar: sure, i would think it would be specific to your hardware.. you can start a bug, and try and find someone with that hardware to confirm it
[19:49] <holstein> andy114: yes.. welcome.. we *all* see you .. please use the #ubuntu-offtopic for chat.. thanks
[19:51] <Uqbar> holstein: well if _could_ be hardware-specific, but my custom shortcuts only involve "normal" keys, so I think it would be unlikely.

[19:51] <andy114> Okay, when I go to sign into the root login, I put my username in and when I go to put my password in, nothing types/comes up on screen. How can I fix this?
[19:52] <EriC^^> andy114: your root login?
[19:52] <bubbasaures> andy114, root login?
[19:52] <k1l> andy114: you dont login to root on ubuntu
[19:52] <EriC^^> andy114: you mean lightdm?
[19:52] <trijntje> andy114: just put in your password and press enter, thats how you use sudo
[19:53] <Uqbar> hmm this might be useful https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting
[19:53] <k1l> andy114: or do you mean the terminal login on a tty?
[19:53] <naftilos76> Hi, i want to make an image file out of a directory and its' contents and later be able to restore the dir tree from the image file. Does anybody know of any app in linux that can do that other than compressing apps like zip, tar etc?
[19:53] <andy114> When it asks for Username and password on startup, when I type in the password nothing shows up
[19:54] <andy114> Just saying i'm new to Ubuntu... :p
[19:54] <k1l> andy114: on the login screen?
[19:55] <EriC^^> andy114: nothing shows up as in you type the password but you dont see any "*" ?
[19:55] <k1l> andy114: did it run before? what did you do before that didnt work anymore? does the guest-accoun work?
[19:57] <mikemiketorino> Hi .. someone can help on this link:    http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Server/Dlna/Serviio
[19:57] <mikemiketorino> for installation of Serviio?
[19:57] <andy114> This is a fresh install so this is first time boot, it says login: andy114 then under it Password: _ I cant type into the password field.
[19:57] <k1l> mikemiketorino: #ubuntu-it can
[19:57] <andy114> I could type the Username but not the password.
[19:58] <EriC^^> andy114: the password should already be there
[19:58] <k1l> andy114: you can type the password. its just not shown due to security
[19:58] <mikemiketorino> nobody there ... let's search english one .. sorry
[19:58] <EriC^^> *username
[19:58] <andy114> Nonon theres no "*" or anything, nothing shows up in the field, no characters at all.
[19:59] <trijntje> andy114: what does the screen look like when you try to put in your password?
[19:59] <EriC^^> andy114: try the accessibility icon on the top right corner
[19:59] <EriC^^> andy114: login through it and see if the keyboard needs to be set or something
[19:59] <andy114> Its a black screen which has Ubuntu 14.10 in the top left corner
[20:00] <trijntje> any color?
[20:00] <andy114> Nope
[20:00] <trijntje> so its a terminal login, so probably something went wrong with the installation
[20:00] <k1l> andy114: so its a server install?
[20:00] <andy114> Yeah
[20:00] <k1l> so, server install?
[20:01] <trijntje> andy114: try to mention stuf like that ;)
[20:01] <andy114> Yep lol
[20:01] <trijntje> so, for the server login you dont see your password
[20:01] <k1l> is it a remote login or are you sitting in front?
[20:01] <trijntje> just type it in and hit enter, and you're good to go
[20:02] <andy114> When I type on my keyboard nothing comes up, but I can still type my username in.
[20:02] <EriC^^> andy114: that's normal
[20:02] <andy114> Sitting infront
[20:02] <EriC^^> it's so that nobody can tell how long the password is
[20:02] <k1l> andy114: the password is not shown!!!
[20:03] <k1l> andy114: it doesnt show ****** it is just blank. just type your password blind and hit enter
[20:03] <andy114> I just did, still says Login incorrect.
[20:03] <Bashing-om> andy114: Not shown is a security measure.
[20:03] <k1l> andy114: so its working but you use the wrong username or password
[20:03] <andy114> Theres nothing, just a blinking "_"
[20:03] <EriC^^> andy114: does your user contain any uppercase characters?
[20:04] <k1l> andy114: what? you said you see the login? now its just "_" ?
[20:04] <andy114> No it dosent
[20:04] <k1l> andy114: please get your facts right. you are telling a different story every time now.
[20:05] <EriC^^> andy114: boot into the recovery mode and reset your password with passwd <username>
[20:05] <Bashing-om> andy114: " just a blinking "_" " maybe something other is awaiting input. What results with key combo ctl+c to terminate and return to prompt ?
[20:06] <anonymous_prism_> funny
[20:06] <andy114> Okay okay, I boot my laptop up, it loads onto a black screen, it tells me to type my login I type it then hit enter, it then says Password, I cant type anything theres just a blinking _
[20:06] <k1l> andy114: it is a server install?on a laptop?
[20:07] <anonymous_prism_> okey try reinstall your windows os systeem have an nice day
[20:07] <luc4> Anyone who knows how to add a new xsession to lightdm? I added the .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions but I have no new item…
[20:07] <Uqbar> andy114: that's NORMAL. type the password and then return, and you should login.
[20:07] <anonymous_prism_> reinstal your os systeem and your all fine
[20:08] <andy114> The problem is is that when I type NOTHING shows up in the Password area!
[20:09] <Uqbar> andy114: you might check that the keyboard be set up correctly, by typing non-alphabetic characters at the login prompt (if you have non-alpha characters in the password, which might be interpreted incorrectly in case of setup issues)
[20:09] <Bashing-om> andy114: Zar 10; that is normal, security reasons .
[20:09] <EriC^^> Bashing-om: i think we're being trolled here
[20:09] <Uqbar> andy114: NOTHING must appear when you type the password, it's the normal, intended behaviour.
[20:09] <anonymous_projec> warring kicking anoymous will cost your pc i will strike you down and you all just stupid fools have an nice day
[20:09] <OerHeks> that should be oke, no output
[20:10] <bubbasaures> lol
[20:10] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Yeah, let no good deed go unpunished .
[20:11] <andy114> Okay so if its intended behaviour then why dosent it sign in???
[20:11] <Uqbar> because you're typing the wrong password.
[20:11] <Uqbar> or your keyboard isn't set up correctly, see what I said a few lines ago.
[20:12] <eka> hi... after editing /etc/exports do I need to restart the NFS service?
[20:12] <andy114> Okay then, if my keyboard isnt setup correctly, how do I do it?
[20:13] <Uqbar> first you have to check whether it is set up correctly or not. to do that, type something into the login prompt to see.
[20:13] <Bashing-om> andy114: I once did a clean install, and caps lock was engaged - unnoticed, Like to have never figuered out that my password was uppercase rather then the intended lower case. I did change the password back to lower case.
[20:13] <andy114> OKay I have typed my Username in, now what?
[20:14] <Uqbar> now delete it and type some non-alpha characters, like / - ?, to see if they match your keyboard.
[20:14] <bubbasaures> err see if the password shows
[20:14] <EriC^^> andy114: type your password as a login to see if all the chars come up
[20:15] <Uqbar> or just type it here for us to check ;-) . (hunter2 in 3... 2... 1...)
[20:16] <andy114> Okay done that it works
[20:16] <EriC^^> andy114: try Bashing-om 's suggestion, if it doesn't work boot into the recovery mode and change your password.
[20:16] <andy114> Everything works
[20:16] <Uqbar> andy114: then you're simply entering the password wrong.
[20:17] <Uqbar> andy114: ah sorry, I didn't see you said it works.
[20:17] <andy114> Jesus christ how many times do I have to say, when I press a key it dosent show up in the field theres no * or anything it stays as a blinking _
[20:17] <andy114> Oh lol :p
[20:18] <Uqbar> andy114: it. is. NORMAL.
[20:18] <Uqbar> did you manage to log in or not?
[20:18] <k1l> andy114: and how often do we have to say that there is _no sign_ in the password field when you type
[20:18] <andy114> If its NORMAL then why does it keep saying "Login incorrect"?????
[20:19] <Uqbar> 21:11 < Uqbar> because you're typing the wrong password.
[20:19] <k1l> andy114: because it is incorrect
[20:19] <k1l> andy114: you need to change from "the login doesnt work because i dont see *****" to "login doesnt work because i use wrong username or wrong password"
[20:20]  * EriC^^ wonders how would one safely reboot in such a situation
[20:20] <Pici> reisub
[20:20] <EriC^^> alt+prntscrn reisub ?
[20:20] <EriC^^> maybe reisssub
[20:20] <EriC^^> hehe :D
[20:21] <Uqbar> is ctrl-alt-delete disabled on the console?
[20:22] <k1l> Uqbar: its disabled at all on ubuntu
[20:24] <Uqbar> k1l: it doesn't seem disabled at all, at least in the console. I've just rebooted my laptop with ctrl-alt-delete at the console, and I haven't configured anything special to do it.
[20:24] <Uqbar> under X, yes, it's disabled.
[20:25] <Bala> hey
[20:25] <k1l> well, i thought dontzap was everywhere
[20:25] <EriC^^> Uqbar: to answer your question, no it's not disabled.
[20:25] <Uqbar> dontzap is X specific
[20:25] <EriC^^> :D
[20:25] <Bala> can someone explain to me what is the best start for someone who wants to learn different programming language ?
[20:26] <Uqbar> EriC^^: as I wrote, I just verified myself :)
[20:26] <rberg_> in the console its controlled by /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf
[20:27] <EriC^^> Uqbar: same here :)
[20:27] <zumba_addict> what's going to happen if you clear up arp every 10 mins?
[20:27] <EriC^^> we're like dumb and dumber tree
[20:27] <andy114> http://youtu.be/Wh9rguYkp4g
[20:27] <andy114> Look at that
[20:27] <ikonia> why ?
[20:27] <andy114> This is my problem
[20:27] <Uqbar> zumba_addict: nothing much. you'll see some more ARP traffic to re-populate the ARP table.
[20:28] <k1l> andy114: video is private
[20:28] <zumba_addict> will it slow down the connections?
[20:28] <zumba_addict> what about existing connections? will it be broken?
[20:28] <Uqbar> nothing will be broken, you won't notice any slowdown.
[20:28] <zumba_addict> k
[20:28] <andy114> Try now?
[20:29] <k1l> andy114: ok video works
[20:29] <Uqbar> andy114: youtube says the video is private
[20:29] <k1l> andy114: so your password is 2000000 times w?
[20:29] <mikemiketorino> Hi .. I am following this link: http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=howto:linux:install:ubuntu
[20:29] <andy114> No its just an example
[20:29] <k1l> andy114: use your real password.
[20:29] <andy114> To show that nothing shows up!
[20:29] <mikemiketorino> someone can help me? I have done all .. Serviio is running but I can't open the console
[20:30] <zumba_addict> this is what amazon is suggesting to clear it up from cache - ip neigh | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -IX arp -v -i eth0 -d X
[20:30] <k1l> andy114: and there will be no * or _ or letters in the "password" line.
[20:30] <Pici> andy114: nothing is supposed to show up.
[20:30] <ikonia> andy114: this is getting tedious now
[20:30] <ikonia> andy114: there is no vissable signs in the password field
[20:30] <ikonia> accept that
[20:30] <Uqbar> andy114: ah sorry, maybe noboty told you that NOTHING should show up in the password field?
[20:30] <k1l> andy114: the problem you show in the video is not a problem at all. it is so nobody can show the number of letters of your password.
[20:30] <andy114> Okay is NOTHING shows up then WHY CANT I SIGN IN?
[20:30] <EriC^^> this is getting hilarious
[20:30] <ikonia> andy114: your password is wrong
[20:30] <ikonia> or your username is wrong
[20:30] <k1l> andy114: because your password is wrong
[20:31] <andy114> It isnt ffs
[20:31] <ikonia> andy114: can you login to the gui ?
[20:31] <k1l> andy114: wrong like in typo.
[20:31] <EriC^^> i cant believe you made a youtube video of that
[20:31] <rberg_> or you set false as your shell ?
[20:31] <andy114> Ive reinstalled twice now using the same username and fricken password
[20:31] <k1l> or in wrong keyboard layout. like german keyboard got qwertz and not qwery in first row
[20:31] <ikonia> andy114: can you login to the gui
[20:31] <EriC^^> andy114: did you create a /etc/nologin file?
[20:31] <EriC^^> andy114: touch /etc/nologin ? or messed with chsh ?
[20:32] <ikonia> he can't login....how would he create those
[20:32] <andy114> This is a First time boot!
[20:32] <EriC^^> i dont know what makes sense anymore
[20:32] <k1l> andy114: reboot to recovery and reset the password
[20:32] <andy114> How?
[20:32] <andy114> lol
[20:32] <ikonia> andy114: reinstall and set the password to 123456
[20:32] <EriC^^> andy114: please try writing your password with the CAPS lock on as Bashing-om suggested
[20:32] <ikonia> something that is not dependent on a keyboard mapping
[20:33] <EriC^^> andy114: if it doesn't work boot into the recovery mode and set your password
[20:33] <Uqbar> andy114: to reboot, hit ctrl-alt-delete
[20:34] <EriC^^> andy114: hold shift while the pc boots, advanced > recovery > enable networking > drop to root shell > type passwd your_username
[20:34] <andy114> Okay
[20:35] <EriC^^> andy114: does your password contain any special characters?
[20:35] <andy114> No
[20:35] <EriC^^> i'm just curious cause you said you reinstalled twice using the same password
[20:43] <zumba_addict> is there a tool to verify that the arp address is the right one for that ip address/machine?
[20:44] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict: have you tried arpwatch or just a manual comparrison of MAC to IP?
[20:45] <Uqbar> zumba_addict: on _one_ machine, no. it will tell you the MAC address it *thinks* matches the IP address. if for some reason (bug, ARP poisoning), then the machine might be insufficient in establishing it.
[20:45] <ankk> fatal error: tk.h: No such file or directory
[20:45] <Uqbar> *if for some reason (bug, ARP poisoning) it has the wrong MAC address,
[20:45] <ankk> what can i do about this error?
[20:46] <blno> -
[20:46] <blno> oops
[20:50] <zumba_addict> Thanks Uqbar. What are other solutions?
[20:51] <zumba_addict> thank you techsuperfreak. How does arpwatch work? Is it running on a separate machine?
[20:51] <mike> hello
[20:51] <Guest87495> LONG LIVE PIRATE BAY!
[20:52] <zumba_addict> i heard it got shut down
[20:52] <daftykins> !ot
[20:52] <Guest87495> It's back up
[20:52] <daftykins> Guest87495 zumba_addict - no thank you.
[20:52] <zumba_addict> yup, daftykins is right
[20:52] <zumba_addict> it's off topic
[20:52] <Guest87495> http://thepiratebay.ee/
[20:53] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict: Check this out - http://bit.ly/1wegAgJ
[20:53] <zumba_addict> k
[20:53] <Guest87495> sorrry bout that
[20:53] <azi`> I have a shell to an ubuntu server
[20:53] <axelddd> hello
[20:54] <azi`> i've noticed that I can go to /home/ cd into other's users directories
[20:54] <axelddd> does ubuntu have transmission embedded?
[20:54] <azi`> and even open some files there
[20:54] <zumba_addict> techsuperfreak: so if arpwatch saw a change in mac address, can it tell other machines on the network about that change?
[20:54] <azi`> isnt this a bit weird?
[20:55] <daftykins> azi`: this would be something to discuss with who provides you with this shell, not us
[20:55] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict: no, the only reason a arp mapping changes is due to arp poisoning or something else foul
[20:55] <zumba_addict> k
[20:55] <zumba_addict> it's because it happens in AWS too
[20:56] <rberg_> azi`: no thats not really weird, you can set the file permissions to prevent over users from reading your files.
[20:57] <rberg_> ie: I think your private ssh key is set to 600 to prevent that.
[20:57] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict: AWS?
[20:58] <zumba_addict> amazon web services
[20:58] <zumba_addict> techsuperfreak:  http://engineering.clever.com/2014/12/10/when-your-ip-traffic-in-aws-disappears-into-a-black-hole/
[20:58] <zumba_addict> is arpwatch really fast to know a change?
[20:59] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict:  That would be a whole different ball of wax...clusters, cahcing, HA
[20:59] <zumba_addict> can we tell arpwatch to log to a specific file?
[21:00] <zumba_addict> i remember using a perl script before that watches a logfile then executes a command
[21:00] <zumba_addict> couldn't recall it anymore since that was around 1996
[21:00] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict: Yes, you can have it speciies a savefile.  You can also have arpwatch email changes it catches
[21:01] <cpined> I have ubuntu 14.04 gnome and the applications don't show up in the title bar.  I need to see them to control activity.  The show up when I use gnome-fallback-session.
[21:01] <zumba_addict> techsuperfreak: not just email, I want it to ssh to different boxes to execute arp -d ip address
[21:01] <zumba_addict> i know it's bad since what if the arp is the attacker :)
[21:02] <zumba_addict> do you agree with me that I don't agree somewhat with the link I posted since what if arp was being poisoned
[21:02] <techsuperfreak> If you are worried about arp poisoning you should look at something a bit better
[21:02] <zumba_addict> that article clears the cache
[21:03] <Pessimist> Is there something like for ubuntu that I can install the system from a command line? I have luks on lvm on one partition and inside wubi when I choose everything it fails to install
[21:03] <Pessimist> Like mount everything somewhere, install base packages, chroot, install bootloader, ...
[21:03] <daftykins> WUBI is the devil.
[21:03] <zumba_addict> do you know if arpwatch is fast to notice changes?
[21:03] <daftykins> Pessimist: are you saying you're trying to use WUBI to install ubuntu... inside ubuntu?
[21:03] <Pessimist> Or wait, I don't have Wubi in mind. I meant the Ubuntu installer... I thought it's called wubi
[21:04] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict: Should be
[21:04] <ikonia> as fast as arp changes
[21:04] <zumba_addict> k
[21:04] <Pessimist> daftykins, no ^, I thought wubi is how the ubuntu is called
[21:04] <daftykins> Pessimist: no, that's the windows ubuntu installer (which should be fired out of a cannon into the sun)
[21:04] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict: If you are worried about intrustion detection, check out Snort
[21:04] <zumba_addict> ikonia: i was thinking how an interface like eth0 is caching arp entries and not clearing it
[21:04] <rberg_> Pessimist: you can do that with debootstrap
[21:04] <zumba_addict> techsuperfreak: i'm familiar with snort
[21:04] <ikonia> zumba_addict: it will cache them, but it will change as arp changes
[21:04] <ikonia> zumba_addict: thats what arp cache is
[21:05] <zumba_addict> ikonia: did you see the article I posted above? http://engineering.clever.com/2014/12/10/when-your-ip-traffic-in-aws-disappears-into-a-black-hole/
[21:05] <ikonia> zumba_addict: no
[21:05] <zumba_addict> the engineer was sharing they couldn't connect until they found the culprit, cached arp
[21:06] <zumba_addict> sharing/saying (on that article)
[21:06] <ikonia> zumba_addict: arp cache is a common issue in that respect, but it depends how your network is setup
[21:06] <zumba_addict> k
[21:07] <zumba_addict> that is AWS which we are also using
[21:07] <zumba_addict> though we havent't encountered that issue yet
[21:08] <Tom84> Anyone have a good IRC bot API for C++?
[21:08] <ikonia> not an ubuntu issue
[21:08] <Tom84> oh sorry
[21:09] <daftykins> Tom84: you PM'd me the other day with some abuse or something, please make sure you don't do it again.
[21:09] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict:  Have you looked at the cron script that was in the article, it appears to be an easy fix
[21:09] <zumba_addict> techsuperfreak: yup, I saw it. It's really easy though it's dependent on time
[21:10] <cpined> any idea why gnome does not display running applications in the menu bar but when I switch to gnome-session-fallback it does?
[21:10] <zumba_addict> that's why I was trying to check if arpwatch is fast, then the logwatcher script I mentioned, then it will ssh to each unix boxes and run arp -d ipaddress
[21:10] <techsuperfreak> zumba_addict: I'm not sure if that will be any quicker than just clearing the stale entries every few mins
[21:11] <zumba_addict> k
[21:11] <zumba_addict> arpwatch could be realtime vs cron is every minute
[21:11] <daftykins> you're never going to have a MAC change in less than a minute :P
[21:11] <zumba_addict> i don't remember being able to configure cron to do every second
[21:11] <zumba_addict> :)
[21:12] <daftykins> zumba_addict: i think if you have an issue with that posts solution, you should pay for some AWS support and talk with their techs about your ideas.
[21:12] <zumba_addict> daftykins: that's not ours. We just found it
[21:12] <daftykins> zumba_addict: i know
[21:12] <zumba_addict> oh, I didn't see the word "if" :)
[21:12] <daftykins> ;)
[21:18] <mikemiketorino> Hi. I installed serviio .. and I made serviio.conf as :  o driver per il wi fa del mac?
 krabador: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9467243/  ... but service will not start. Some one can help me?
[21:19] <ikonia> martinklepsch: what's the actual problem
[21:20] <soman> I installed (offline) some packages (about 30) with dpkg -i and they won't be installed due to dependencies. Now when I do apt-get install -f it wanrs me about deleting about 1k packages including libreoffice and much ore apps. How can I fix the situation?
[21:23] <goa-gil> pmfji
[21:23] <goa-gil> but ubuntu upstart and init scripts are not good quality
[21:25] <EriC^^> soman: which packages did you install?
[21:27] <andy114> Okay Im back :p I reinstalled Ubuntu, yet I still cant type the password :p
[21:27] <k1l_> andy114: stop
[21:28] <k1l_> andy114: are you aware that there will never ever ever ever any sign when you type a password on there?
[21:28] <goa-gil> please type your pass
[21:28] <andy114> Yes but, why will it not let me sign in?
[21:28] <k1l_> goa-gil: go somewhere else to troll
[21:28] <goa-gil> oh, dont make me cry
[21:28] <goa-gil> ask me an honest question and i will answer
[21:29] <techsuperfreak> andy114: Trying using a different terminal - press CTRL-ALT-F2 and try there
[21:29] <ikonia> andy114: how did you set your password
[21:29] <soman> EriC^^: openjdk-7 nethogs
[21:29] <k1l_> andy114: that is another question. please reboot to revovery and set a easy password that cant be triggered by different keboard settings or capslock
[21:30] <soman> EriC^^: i downloaded from debian.packages.org and installed to the deb based distro
[21:30] <andy114> Okay im in recovery mode
[21:30] <andy114> Now what do I do?
[21:30] <andy114> :p
[21:30] <EriC^^> andy114: type passwd <your username>
[21:30] <andy114> Where?
[21:31] <EriC^^> press enable networking, then press drop to root shell
[21:31] <ikonia> andy114: how did you set your password
[21:31] <andy114> Through the install
[21:31] <ikonia> andy114: I told you to set the password to 123456 through the install
[21:31] <ikonia> andy114: did you do that ?
[21:32] <andy114> Nope :p
[21:32] <ikonia> andy114: why did you not do that ?
[21:32] <andy114> Because I did not see your message
[21:32] <ikonia> andy114: ok - please do that
[21:33] <ponyofdeath> hi, is there a way to prevent dnsmasq override resolv.conf with <IP_ADDRESS> even after I have port=-
[21:33] <ikonia> andy114: 123456 is a sequence that is not impacted by different keymaps, or caps lock
[21:33] <ikonia> ponyofdeath: you can disable dnsmasq within network manager config
[21:33] <ponyofdeath> ikonia: i am using dns masq
[21:33] <ponyofdeath> just for tftp / dhcp
[21:33] <ponyofdeath> not dns
[21:33] <andy114> Fine then, this will be the fourth time in Reinstalling
[21:33] <ikonia> ponyofdeath: errr dnsmasq is for dns
[21:34] <ikonia> it's nothing to do with tftp
[21:34] <ponyofdeath> ikonia: it has tfptp and dhcp
[21:34] <EriC^^> andy114: if you're already in the recovery reset it there
[21:34] <ponyofdeath> ikonia: i use ubuntu-server which does not seem to be running network manager either
[21:34] <andy114> omfg
[21:34] <ikonia> andy114: tone down the language, there is no need for it
[21:35] <ikonia> ponyofdeath: thats interesting
[21:35] <andy114> Okay im in Recovery mode
[21:35] <andy114> I enabled networking
[21:35] <k1l_> !password | andy114
[21:35] <EriC^^> andy114: ok, press drop to root shell
[21:35] <ponyofdeath> port=0 disables dns and i dont see dnsmasq listening on port 53 but it still overwrites my resolv.conf
[21:35] <andy114> Yep I have
[21:35] <ponyofdeath> which is annoying since i dont use it for dns
[21:35] <andy114> I typed passwd andy
[21:36] <andy114> It says change password
[21:36] <ikonia> ponyofdeath: to be honest, I didn't know it could do tftp/dhcp services,
[21:36] <k1l_> andy114: it was andy114 last time you showed the video
[21:36] <andy114> I reinstalled
[21:36] <EriC^^> andy114: ok, and did you change it?
[21:36] <andy114> Nope
[21:36] <k1l_> andy114: make sure to use the real nick and pws then. that is a sure way to get incorrect login
[21:36] <EriC^^> what do you mean?
[21:37] <andy114> Well you know how nothing comes up when I type for putting in my pass
[21:37] <EriC^^> yeah..
[21:37] <k1l_> andy114: stop
[21:37] <k1l_> andy114: that is 100% right.
[21:38] <k1l_> andy114: there is nothing to show up while you enter your pw. that is a security feature.
[21:38] <ikonia> andy114: please check your private messages, you can no longer talk in this channel
[21:38] <k1l_> andy114: i really think you are just trolling since we explained that 100 times now since 2 hours.

[21:54] <IdleOne> and change the password you are using
[21:55] <k1l_> andy114: are you sure you enter the right pw?
[21:55] <ikonia> set the password to 123456
[21:55] <EriC^^> andy114: when you changed the password using the recovery console, what happened?
[21:55] <k1l_> andy114: make sure to test a pw that is easy and doesnt depent on keyboard layouts.
[21:55] <ikonia> 123456 is a safe test
[21:56] <ikonia> it does not differ with languages
[21:56] <ikonia> or have a depend on caps lock
[21:56] <andy114> It said that the passwords do not match
[21:56] <ikonia> you did not type them the same
[21:56] <ikonia> use 123456
[21:56] <andy114> Yes I did
[21:56] <dts|pokeball> 2
[21:56] <ikonia> it is very hard to type that wrong
[21:56] <dts|pokeball> 3
[21:58] <andy114> Okay I did it, it now says Authentication token manipulation error

[21:59] <ikonia> mount -rw -o remount /
[21:59] <EriC^^> ikonia: he can't type 123456
[21:59] <EriC^^> press enable networking for the love of god
[21:59] <ikonia> yes, I see the risk
[22:00] <ikonia> this is why I wanted a clean install with a simple password
[22:00] <andy114> How do I get out of the black console thing, in order to select Networking?
[22:00] <EriC^^> andy114: type exit
[22:02] <andy114> I pressed enter on Networking and It took me to where it says do you wish to continue. Now im in another console

[22:13] <ikonia> I use multiple HP servers without any problem
[22:13] <streulma> my latest HP Pavilion 17 :(
[22:15] <EriC^^> daftykins: ;)
[22:17] <daftykins> streulma: all these issues, why don't you just return this machine and get one that's supported properly?
[22:17] <EleanorEllis> I'm having problems with xsane. It was working until today and I haven't changed anything. I have a Mustek 1200 UB Plus. Previously I had downloaded the sbfw.usb driver file into /usr/share/sane/gt68xx using sudo wget http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/firmware/sbfw.usb and removed the # from the line #override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus" in the /etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf file. I had also added my user to

[22:18] <Guido2> sudo aptitude install kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils
[22:18] <Guido2> sudo: aptitude: command not found - what is the problem / how to solve?
[22:18] <daftykins> sudo apt-get install....
[22:18] <k1l_> Guido2: dont use aptitude. apt-get is the ubuntu standard
[22:20] <Guido2> k1l_: okee, that works, but than https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation night have to be updated
[22:20] <mark76> Finally!
[22:20] <mark76> I thought that would never end
[22:21] <k1l_> Guido2: read carefully! there is listed: lucid or later with apt-get, karmic or earlier with aptitude
[22:21] <daftykins> mark76: with my respect, we don't need moment-by-moment updates of your personal ubuntu experience. keep it to support only please
[22:21] <Guido2> k1l_: okee
[22:21] <oniongirl> Hello everyone, Can someone please help me? I have an external hard disk that I used with my Macbook which i've now sold, Before I got rid of it I disabled journalizing on the disk but I still can't write to it. I can read it just fine but I have tried everything to make it writeable but nothing works. Would someone please help me?
[22:21] <ikonia> oniongirl: HFS write support on linux is not good
[22:21] <mark76> I didn't come here to abused by the likes of you daftykins
[22:21] <Guido2> daftykins: how do i do the next step (Add Users to Groups) resp. how do i know the corrrect user name?
[22:21] <daftykins> oniongirl: you've come in here months ago asking the same, HFS+ writing still isn't supported.
[22:22] <andy114> Okay its asking me for a Username what do i Put?
[22:22] <ikonia> andy114: your username
[22:22] <andy114> Which will be "andy"
[22:22] <andy114> And now a password
[22:22] <ikonia> andy114: whatever you want your username to be
[22:22] <andy114> so 123456?
[22:23] <ikonia> your password should be 123456
[22:23] <andy114> Okay, it is
[22:24] <oniongirl> daftykins,  it is possible if you Disable Journaling, which I did. but I cant figure out how to get it to write.
[22:24] <Guido2> k1l_: how do i do the next step (Add Users to Groups) resp. how do i know the corrrect user name? (it seams that I'm already a member of the group)
[22:24] <andy114> My keyboard was auto-detected btw
[22:24] <daftykins> oniongirl: no, write support is *not* available. for months we've told you this :) please accept it
[22:25] <Finetundra> how do i boot into a gui after installing it from a terminal only view
[22:25] <oniongirl> im sorry but your wrong. I've seen many different people who have done it online there are different tutorials but I just can't get them to work for me. daftykins
[22:25] <daftykins> oniongirl: no, you've seen experiments documented :) it's not supported as in not recommended.
[22:26] <k1l_> Guido2: "groups" shows "libvirtd" ?
[22:26] <EriC^^> Finetundra: which de did you install>
[22:26] <Finetundra> lxde
[22:26] <Bashing-om> Finetundra: What GUI did you install ? Depends on the command to start that session .
[22:26] <Guido2> k1l_: guido adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare libvirtd
[22:27] <ikonia> oniongirl: please read this http://paste.ubuntu.com/9468082/
[22:27] <k1l_> Guido2: that its done
[22:27] <Finetundra> better yet, how do you edit and save a text file while in a terminal view
[22:28] <daftykins> Finetundra: use the text editor 'nano'
[22:28] <daftykins> or any number of others
[22:28] <quickfm_> ni, anyone know how to install ubuntu on a BQ phone. It's a spanish brand
[22:28] <EriC^^> Finetundra: whatever you do don't type "ed"
[22:28] <daftykins> !touch | quickfm_
[22:28] <Finetundra> daftykins, got that far , how do i save it
[22:29] <daftykins> Finetundra: read the instructions at the bottom, 'ctrl+x' quit, etc etc
[22:29] <daftykins> you want 'write-out'
[22:29] <oniongirl> ikonia, hi, thanks. Yea, I know there are problems with journaling enabled but I disabled it before I sold my mac, before it was disabled it would not even mount. It is also under 2tb
[22:29] <quickfm_> nothing there that's why I ask here. It's not listed on the device compatibility ist
[22:29] <ikonia> oniongirl: read it
[22:29] <Finetundra> gotcha
[22:29] <ikonia> oniongirl: it does not ssay "there are no problems if you disable journal"
[22:29] <quickfm_> ok
[22:30] <Guido2> k1l_: so now i have to log in again and http://www.2daygeek.com/installing-android-emulator-in-linux// should work?
[22:30] <k1l_> Guido2: dont know. try it
[22:30] <oniongirl> ikonia, even still, I should be able to mount it as writeable.
[22:30] <ikonia> oniongirl: no
[22:30] <ikonia> oniongirl: you can force mount it as writeable but this will cause damage and is "not recommended"
[22:31] <oniongirl> ikonia, yes, that is if journaling is enabled which it's not/... it says " journaling must be disabled in order to write data safely to an HFS+ partition;"
[22:31] <ikonia> oniongirl: no it is not
[22:31] <ikonia> oniongirl: it is the same with journal disabled
[22:31] <daftykins> oniongirl: again, you're not even reading the full thing.
[22:32] <ikonia> oniongirl: you are welcome to force mount it
[22:32] <daftykins> oniongirl: anyway to save us from getting this request in another month or two, at least write up a pastebin of what you have tried and what errors you've encountered.
[22:32] <ikonia> you are welcome to disagree, and force mount it
[22:32] <oniongirl> if it were not possible why would they tell you its SAFE to mount if journaling is disabled?
[22:32] <daftykins> it doesn't say that!
[22:33] <oniongirl> daftykins,  journaling must be disabled in order to write data safely to an HFS+ partition:"
[22:33] <daftykins> oniongirl: stop saying the same thing over and over again
[22:33] <k1l_> oniongirl: it says: its worst to mount with journaling and not-so-worse to mount wihtout
[22:33] <Guido2> k1l_: I still get the message: Starting emulator for AVD 'Android'

[22:35] <oniongirl> ikonia,  sudo mount -o force /dev/sdX /your/mount/point
[22:36] <ikonia> oniongirl: that is not the exact command
[22:36] <ikonia> oniongirl: if you want help - please give the informaiton you have been asked for
[22:36] <oniongirl> Thats the command I used
[22:36] <ikonia> oniongirl: please show me the exact command you have used to mount it read / write

[22:39] <daftykins> oniongirl: "mount | pastebinit"
[22:40] <bekks> Guido2: That Ubuntu you are talking about - is it a virtualbox vm or is it a physical installation?
[22:40] <daftykins> (the clue was KVM)
[22:40] <Guido2> bekks: physical instalation
[22:40] <lasdam> hey all. I need help with booting my ubuntu partition: after trying to grow my ubuntu partition with a gparted liveusb, I encountered some error that messed up the file systems on all the partitions apparently. my windows partition repaired its own file system, but the ubuntu partition just says something like "resuming libcrypt v someversion" and gets stuck there.
[22:40] <lasdam> I think maybe I had my ubuntu hibernated on accident. what I've done after is resize the partition successfully, deleted and re-created a swap partition, and commented out everything in the files /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and /etc/uswsusp.conf, but I still get the same message on boot and no progress, and I'm running out of solutions from Google.
[22:40] <oniongirl> daftykins, i found this... but not sure how to install it.

[22:40] <ikonia> oniongirl: please show me the exact command you have used to mount it read / write
[22:40] <bekks> daftykins: The questionaire happened in #vbox before ;)
[22:40] <daftykins> bekks: heh ah ok, sorry
[22:41] <daftykins> oniongirl: 12 year old software? no
[22:41] <Finetundra> how do i figure out my network card via terminal
[22:41] <daftykins> Finetundra: define 'figure out'
[22:41] <Finetundra> determine
[22:41] <daftykins> the make and model? lspci
[22:42] <Jordan_U> Finetundra: What do you want to determine about it?

[22:43] <Finetundra> i installed using a wireless usb network card. however now it does not want to use that card. i want to know if its being detected
[22:43] <daftykins> oniongirl: so, "mount | pastebinit" ? :)
[22:43] <ikonia> that is nothing to do with mounting the disk
[22:43] <ikonia> oniongirl: please show me the exact command you used to mount the disk
[22:43] <Guido2> k1l_: okee, so that is the problem. will do that
[22:43] <daftykins> ikonia: there was mention of fstab earlier, i think it'd be handy to see what it looks like atm
[22:43] <ikonia> I don't disagree
[22:44] <andy114> Ikonia its allmost done
[22:44] <oniongirl> ikonia,  i tried this and it killed my entire install. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/hfsplus
[22:44] <ikonia> oniongirl: stop
[22:44] <ikonia> oniongirl: I'm not asking for any of that
[22:44] <ikonia> oniongirl: I am asking you for the exact command you used to mount the disk
[22:45] <ikonia> oniongirl: stop giving me other random stuff and give me the command you used to mount the disk
[22:45] <oniongirl> ikonia,  it auto mounts
[22:45] <ikonia> oniongirl: you said that, and you also said you had manually mounted
[22:45] <ObrienDave> *facepalm*
[22:45] <andy114> lol
[22:45] <ikonia> oniongirl: pastebin your /etc/fstab  please.
[22:45] <Jordan_U> Finetundra: "lsusb" to see if the kernel is able to access the card at all. "iwconfig" to see if in addition to accessing the device, the kernel has also loaded an appropriate driver for it and is treating it as a wireless card.
[22:46] <aeroflyluby> hello
[22:46] <Wachu> Hi
[22:47] <oniongirl> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/g7FvPHLK
[22:47] <ikonia> oniongirl: there is nothing in there about a hfs disk - so it must be auto mounting through dbus
[22:47] <daftykins> oniongirl: "mount | pastebinit"
[22:47] <ikonia> oniongirl: please pastebin the output of the command "mount"
[22:48] <ikonia> or as daftykins has just stated
[22:48] <Jordan_U> ikonia: s/dbus/udev :)
[22:48] <daftykins> perhaps the third time will be the charm
[22:48] <ikonia> Jordan_U: still dbus doing the desktop mount in 12.04 isn't it
[22:48] <Finetundra> and we're back to square one
[22:48] <oniongirl> daftykins,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9468248/ hey that's a cool command I never knew about :)
[22:49] <ikonia> udev is just th device trigger
[22:49] <Guido2> k1l_ : it is better, but now i get: Starting emulator for AVD 'Android'; NAND: could not write file /tmp/android-guido/emulator-0c6FDk, Connection refused
[22:49] <Jordan_U> ikonia: dbus is just an IPC system, but maybe we're just aguing semantics.
[22:49] <ikonia> Jordan_U: probably
[22:49] <ikonia> orlock: it's mounted read only
[22:49] <daftykins> oniongirl: "sudo mount -o remount,force,rw /dev/sdc2"
[22:50] <daftykins> oniongirl: then "mount | pastebinit" again if no errors from the above
[22:50] <oniongirl> daftykins,  mount: warning: /media/abuayyoub/Untitled seems to be mounted read-only.
[22:51] <daftykins> is that all it says?
[22:51] <oniongirl> yes
[22:51] <daftykins> oniongirl: and the second command again?
[22:51] <oniongirl> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9468278/
[22:51] <Jordan_U> daftykins: Often mount detailed mount errors are sent to dmesg rather than stdout from mount.
[22:52] <daftykins> Jordan_U: i know
[22:52] <k1l_> /media/user sounds like gvfs is "automounting"
[22:52] <daftykins> oniongirl: "sudo umount /dev/sdc2 && sudo mkdir /mnt/untitled && sudo mount -t hfsplus -o remount,force,rw /dev/sdc2 /mnt/untitled"
[22:53] <k1l_> which means "i am clicking on it in a filebrowser"
[22:53] <daftykins> heh, or just booting
[22:54] <oniongirl> daftykins,  mount: /mnt/untitled not mounted or bad option
[22:54] <oniongirl> :(
[22:54] <ikonia> daftykins: dump remount
[22:54] <ikonia> you've already unmounted it
[22:54] <daftykins> oops i brain failed
[22:54] <daftykins> yep
[22:54] <daftykins> oniongirl: "sudo umount /dev/sdc2 && sudo mkdir /mnt/untitled && sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdc2 /mnt/untitled"
[22:54] <daftykins> actually it's too late for that one
[22:54] <daftykins> oniongirl: ignore that a sec
[22:55] <oniongirl> ok
[22:55] <oniongirl> Thank you BTW!
[22:55] <daftykins> oniongirl: i still don't appreciate your stubborn intro
[22:55] <daftykins> oniongirl: does /mnt/untitled exist?
[22:55] <oniongirl> sorry ;)
[22:55] <daftykins> oniongirl: next time, fighting the official advice being "thing is unsupported" - take it as truth
[22:55] <oniongirl> daftykins,  no.
[22:56] <oniongirl> it dosent exsist.
[22:56] <daftykins> oniongirl: alright "sudo mkdir /mnt/untitled"
[22:56] <daftykins> oniongirl: now "sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdc2 /mnt/untitled"
[22:57] <stanislawertuos> shit
[22:57] <ikonia> no need to swear
[22:58] <ikonia> it's not something we want in the channel please.
[22:58] <oniongirl> abuayyoub@Abuayyoub:~$ sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdc2 /mnt/untitled
[22:58] <oniongirl> mount: /dev/sdc2 already mounted or /mnt/untitled busy
[22:58] <oniongirl> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc2 is already mounted on /mnt/untitled
[22:58] <daftykins> oniongirl: and another "mount | pastebinit" ?
[22:58] <stanislawertuos> what is this?

[22:59] <oniongirl> daftykins,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9468333/
[22:59] <kevindf> Hello, I am using GNOME-fallback but I would like my real name to be shown on the panel. The problem is that it's not there. When I go to dconf-editor I can clearly see it's enabled in apps -> indicator-session and then "show real name on panel" is checked
[22:59] <kevindf> anyone know what might be the problem here
[22:59] <daftykins> oniongirl: ok "dmesg | tail" in a pastebin please
[23:00] <kevindf> i've tried looking for a fix but nothing helped me
[23:00] <oniongirl> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9468339/ daftykins
[23:01] <daftykins> oniongirl: can you see what i see? :)
[23:01] <ikonia> ahhh the file system checks fail
[23:01] <daftykins> had a feeling we'd see that
[23:01] <ikonia> I didn't expect it to be honest
[23:01] <oniongirl> daftykins,  im not sure.
[23:01] <daftykins> oniongirl: sudo umount /dev/sdc2 && sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sdc2 (but know that you are doing this at your own risk.
[23:02] <ikonia> this will be a problem....
[23:02] <ikonia> I hope not though
[23:02] <oniongirl> daftykins,  what can happen?
[23:02] <ObrienDave> preps popcorn ;p
[23:02] <daftykins> oniongirl: you could lose everything.
[23:02] <daftykins> ObrienDave: gimme some!
[23:02] <oniongirl> on the disk or my ubuntu install?
[23:03] <ikonia> just the data disk
[23:03] <k1l_> on the hfs disk
[23:03] <daftykins> Tux, save me.
[23:03] <oniongirl> its checking things :P
[23:04]  * ObrienDave passes daftykins fresh, hot popcorn ;P
[23:04] <daftykins> \o/
[23:04] <daftykins> you know the best part? i'm reading the google #1 result on how to do this
[23:04] <oniongirl> daftykins,  ** The volume Untitled was repaired successfully.
[23:04] <daftykins> http://askubuntu.com/questions/332315/how-to-read-and-write-hfs-journaled-external-hdd-in-ubuntu-without-access-to-os
[23:05] <daftykins> oniongirl: ok back to: sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdc2 /mnt/untitled
[23:05] <daftykins> oniongirl: and another "mount | pastebinit" after that
[23:06] <oniongirl> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9468390/
[23:06] <ikonia> and now the danger begins
[23:06] <ikonia> good luck
[23:06] <ikonia> nice work daftykins
[23:06] <oniongirl> HA~! looks like it worked!
[23:06] <daftykins> ikonia: ty
[23:06] <oniongirl> daftykins,  thank you!
[23:06] <ObrienDave> !cookie | daftykins
[23:06] <oniongirl> and i didnt lose anything
[23:06] <oniongirl> alright!
[23:06] <daftykins> oniongirl: however this will not still work on reboot. your system will go back to mounting it read only, if this disk is permanently attached you MUST create a manual /etc/fstab entry
[23:07] <oniongirl> it's attached by USB
[23:07] <daftykins> oniongirl: no, you're still at risk of losing things. that's the whole problem with using this disk.
[23:07] <daftykins> oniongirl: ok save this link and read the second reply (which has a #2 beside it) http://askubuntu.com/questions/332315/how-to-read-and-write-hfs-journaled-external-hdd-in-ubuntu-without-access-to-os
[23:08] <lasdam> how can I remove a package (uswsusp) from an ubuntu partition through mount without booting it?
[23:08] <oniongirl> ok, what should I add to /etc/fstab to make it mount r/w on reboot?
[23:08] <daftykins> oniongirl: it's possible that every time you plug it in, xubuntu will mount it read only. do you understand how to confirm that it's read-only and not read-write with the "mount" command?
[23:09] <daftykins> oniongirl: well as it's external, it doesn't matter because /etc/fstab is for permanent mounts. we can't do that
[23:09] <k1l_> (ans maybe it will need to get fscked)
[23:09] <k1l_> *and
[23:09] <oniongirl> daftykins,  ok. So, next time I want to make it r/w I run that same command again?
[23:10] <Jordan_U> lasdam: "sudo chroot /path/to/mountpoint" will get you a shell where you can run commands (mostly) as if you were booted into that system. For some low level operations you'll sometimes to to "prepare the chroot" before hand, for instance by bind mounting /dev/, /proc/, and /sys/ into the chroot.
[23:10] <oniongirl> this command: sudo umount /dev/sdc2 && sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sdc2
[23:10] <daftykins> oniongirl: well not necessarily, you can only run the mount command when it's unmounted. so you'd need to read "mount" and be sure /dev/sdc2 isn't already mounted
[23:10] <quidnunc> How do I reconfigure snapper after changing the location of a subvolume?
[23:10] <oniongirl> Ok
[23:10] <ObrienDave> ummm, i have several external USB drives listed in fstab
[23:11] <daftykins> oniongirl: you might want to play around with a few files and then test it
[23:11] <daftykins> ObrienDave: do you always boot with one or more disconnected?
[23:11] <ObrienDave> nope
[23:11] <daftykins> there you go then :P
[23:11] <lasdam> Jordan_U: chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: Exec format error
[23:11] <daftykins> ObrienDave: pretty sure a system is gonna be upset with having a disk in fstab which isn't present at boot?
[23:12] <oniongirl> daftykins,  ok. im going to try and write something. it let me delete some files im gonna see if it will let me write to it.
[23:12] <EriC^^> lasdam: are both arch's the same?
[23:12] <ObrienDave> if so, i just skip mounting. no problems so far
[23:12] <Jordan_U> lasdam: You're probably running this from a 32 bit Ubuntu installation, while the installation you're trying to run commands in is 64 bit. That can't (easily) be done.
[23:12] <daftykins> oniongirl: ok just be aware that i'm not responsible for the universe exploding :P
[23:12] <oniongirl> LOL thank you
[23:12] <sistem> по русски кто базарит!?
[23:12] <EriC^^> !ru | sistem
[23:13] <lasdam> Jordan_U: ah, I see. yeah. I'll try to reinstall/see if ubuntu has a 64bit liveusb iso and come back again if chrooting -> removing the uswsusp package wasn't enough to fix my problem
[23:14] <Jordan_U> lasdam: There is definitely a 64 bit live iso, the normal installer image is a live image (and there is a 64 bit install iso).
[23:15] <lasdam> Jordan_U: but is it usb-compatible?
[23:16] <akira> hello
[23:16] <lasdam> Jordan_U: I'm just gonna go and try. thanks for the help, might bbl.
[23:23] <kristofers> Hi
[23:23] <kristofers> I've got a problem :)
[23:23] <kristofers> not a fun one
[23:24] <kristofers> trying to boot in recovery mode
[23:24] <kristofers> and i'm getting permission denied after selecting recovery in the GRUB
[23:24] <kristofers> is there any way i can mount another linux boot on that one so i can recover my files
[23:25] <theadmin> kristofers: If all you want is to recover files, why not just use a live medium?
[23:25] <kristofers> not sure what that is
[23:25] <k1l_> its the thingy you installed ubuntu with
[23:25] <kristofers> well it's a cloud machine
[23:26] <k1l_> well, informations and details matter
[23:26] <kristofers> sorry
[23:26] <kristofers> only thing i can do is reboot the machine, mount a new volume on it
[23:26] <kristofers> and that's about it
[23:26] <k1l_> kristofers: best is to talk to the support.
[23:26] <k1l_> *the hosters support
[23:26] <kristofers> well i was wondering if there was a way i could avoid doing so
[23:27] <kristofers> if i would mount a disk with linux wouldnt the grub pick up on that ?
[23:27] <kristofers> and allow me to boot that linux
[23:28] <bijad> How can i remove chrome ? its not visible in the software manager under INTERNET
[23:28] <k1l_> kristofers: you got a cloud install. in most cases you cant just boot stuff or a disk like you could on a real desktop. so best is to talk to their support to get to know what choices you have on their setup
[23:28] <kristofers> i have the console
[23:28] <kristofers> and see everything from reboot
[23:28] <theadmin> bijad: sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-*
[23:28] <kristofers> how do you think i can get to the GRUB and select recovery
[23:29] <k1l_> bijad: "sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable
[23:29] <Fun> any ideas how to login to ubuntu via winscp via sftp as root
[23:29] <Fun> with sudo
[23:30] <bekks> Fun: you cant login using sftp using sudo
[23:32] <Fun> bekss some old howto said i can
[23:32] <Fun> of then what can I use?
[23:32] <Fun> scp?
[23:35] <Fun> ok sudo-s worked
[23:36] <ObrienDave> gotta love self-helpers lol
[23:37] <bekks> ObrienDave: I'm just curious on how he/she issues sudo -s using SFTP ;)
[23:37] <ObrienDave> magic ;P
[23:39] <ObrienDave> must be in the "old how-to" lol
[23:42] <jazzed> what is the purpose of apt-key? Is it a way where I say I trust this repo and accept downloads from it?
[23:43] <Fleetflame> jazzed: Well, "I trust this key" specifically
[23:43] <Fleetflame> or "these keys"
[23:43] <iLogic> hey guys, i'm trying to install ubuntu and need to remove a previous fedora LVM install, but can't delete the /dev/mapper/* entries in gparted.. already tried dmsetup remove to no avail
[23:43] <jazzed> thanks for clarifying Fleetflame.
[23:43] <Fleetflame> jazzed: try "man apt-key" at  command line
[23:44] <Jordan_U> iLogic: You need to delete the partitions containing the physical volumes.
[23:44] <jazzed> ty again
[23:44] <Fleetflame> No problem :-]
[23:44] <iLogic> Jordan_U: can't delete them either
[23:45] <Jordan_U> iLogic: What happens when you try to?
[23:45] <iLogic> Jordan_U: it's marked as unknown and the minus button greyed out
[23:45] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | iLogic
[23:49] <Jordan_U> iLogic: You may need to "sudo vgremove volume_group_name" from a terminal before gparted will allow you to delete the partition.
[23:52] <Mega1> how do i check hd space
[23:53] <bekks> Mega1: Just issue "df -h" in a terminal.
[23:54] <Mega1> sda1 seems to be full
[23:54] <RobNyc> !bcm4321
[23:54] <Mega1> 98% use
[23:55] <Demon_Jester> Hey guys I am working on a script to delete a line in a while loop but I am having trouble, would I ask in here or what channel would be more appropriate
[23:55] <Mega1> how do i free up some space
[23:55] <Jordan_U> Demon_Jester: What language are you writing the script in?
[23:55] <iLogic> Jordan_U: I uploaded the screenshots here: http://imgur.com/xHiCbKj,pZxzC4m
[23:55] <Demon_Jester> bash, but im using sed to delete the lines, the people in bash channel will cry if it isn't true bash
[23:56] <Jordan_U> Demon_Jester: I still think that #bash would be a good choice, and if not then for the sed portion #sed.
[23:58] <iLogic> Jordan_U: vgremove did the trick, thanks a lot bro!
