[18:10] <daftykins> Jessica_: you should be at a root prompt
[18:10] <dreams> which are disabled on my distro
[18:11] <Pici> dreams: your distro?
[18:11] <dreams> i`m using linux mint

[18:11] <unopaste> dreams you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[18:11] <xangua> !mint | dreams
[18:12] <dreams> but they dont support PPA
[18:12] <dreams> on their channels
[18:12] <daftykins> you cannot ask for Mint help in here. sorry.
[18:12] <dreams> so im like stuck :(
[18:12] <dreams> where can i go for help on anything >?
[18:12] <DJones> dreams: You'll need to contact either the Mint support channel or the ppa maintainer
[18:13] <dreams> anybody wants to help me with personal message ?
[18:13] <dreams> so im not spoiling some channel
[18:14] <Jessica_> Datfykins: no i see no ip address besides eth0
[18:14] <daftykins> Jessica_: try running "dhclient eth0"
[18:15] <daftykins> Jessica_: assuming you have your VM configured in virtualbox to have a bridged internet connection via your laptop's connection
[18:15] <Glycan> Is there any way to make sure that my sources.list is okay?
[18:15] <Glycan> and that running apt-get dist-upgrade isn't going to make everything blow up?
[18:16] <xangua> Glycan: disable/uninstall PPA's
[18:16] <xangua> and other third party repositories
[18:17] <s2013> anyone here uses ubutu on vwmare player?
[18:17] <s2013> how do you add more hd space? im a bit confused
[18:17] <daftykins> vmware player is not intended for proper use of ubuntu
[18:17] <wad> Hi guys. So I always run gnome-terminal, and I often have a whole bunch of tabs open. Is there a command I can type that will name the current tab? I'm having to memorize which one is for what, and it's getting burdensome... but there is this handy string in the tab that seems like it wouild be useful.
[18:17] <Glycan> xangua: is there a simple way to do that?
[18:18] <xangua> Glycan: don't add third party repositories from the beggining
[18:18] <Jessica_> daftykins: normally there is internet connection on the VM. i get no result trying dhclient
[18:18] <dutchd> is there a way to enable bash autocomplete after an equal? e.g., when setting an environment variable CC=arm-linux- tab used to autocomplete, back in 12.04 I believe. on 14.04 autocopmlete only works if i put a space after the equals, then go back to remove the space. it works if i specif the absolute path, but that kind of defeats the purpose of me adding the directory to the path.
[18:18] <Jessica_> no IP address appears. what appears is "RTLNETLINK answers: file exists"
[18:19] <daftykins> Jessica_: mmhmm, ok that's odd. do you see anything named 'lightdm' if you run "ls /var/cache/apt/archives/" ?
[18:19] <Glycan> xangua: there are several useful tools which are not in the offical repos, how else would I go about installing them [quickly]? More to the point, what do I do now?
[18:19] <daftykins> Jessica_: ah an error, ok i'm finding results online about that
[18:20] <xangua> Glycan: figure what you want
[18:20] <rretzbach> Hi, when ubuntu wakes from suspend it freezes and wouldn't let me move the mouse or switch to a virtual terminal. Can you please tell me how I could investiage this behavior to find a cause?
[18:20] <s2013> daftykins, thanks but that doesnt hlep me
[18:20] <`Yoda> Hi (: - Running 'do-release-upgrade' on a 13.10 system should upgrade to 14.04 if I'm correct, right? :)
[18:21] <Glycan> tsk..
[18:21] <daftykins> s2013: no and nor should it, because i'm saying that using ubuntu under vmware player isn't appropriate
[18:22] <Jessica_> daftykins: 1. if i look in the path you mentioed i see a file called "locked" and a folder called "partial" but if i do whereis "lightdm" i see a path for it
[18:22] <fabien> #lut
[18:22] <fabien> ca marche <,,
[18:22] <fabien> ??
[18:22] <daftykins> Jessica_: yeah that doesn't help.
[18:22] <fabien> french ??
[18:22] <daftykins> Jessica_: try also "killall dhcient" "ifconfig eth0 down" "ifconfig eth0 up" then "dhclient eth0" again
[18:22] <daftykins> fabien: #ubuntu-fr
[18:22] <fabien> comment ca mrche ?
[18:23] <fabien> #unbuntu-fr
[18:23] <daftykins> !fr
[18:23] <varunendra> s2013, what do you mean by "add more space"? Do you want to change the virtual hdd size? I don't think it is possible in any VM, not normally at least. You could simply add a bigger virtual hdd.
[18:24] <daftykins> varunendra: vmware player does not allow configuration, it's a demo program only
[18:24] <Jessica_> daftkins: no new change regarding dhclient eth0
[18:24] <daftykins> thus unsupported
[18:24] <Jessica_> can we do sth the lightdm path i saw with "where is lightdm"?
[18:25] <fladder> hi, can someone tell me how i can remove the ubuntu-gnome logo at the login screen of ubuntu gnome?
[18:25] <fladder> usually the theme can be modified in the /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme folder, but it seems this must be done somewhere else...
[18:25] <daftykins> Jessica_: no, unless you can download a file with Windows and put it in a shared folder for the VM to grab?
[18:25] <varunendra> daftykins, that was ages ago. I use VMplayer myself, though casually only, but it allows almost every common task that vmware workstation does. First hand experince
[18:26] <daftykins> varunendra: ah, they changed it then.
[18:26] <varunendra> daftykins, constantly :)
[18:26] <daftykins> still, i don't think we support hypervisors here.
[18:28] <bgardner> `Yoda: Right
[18:28] <`Yoda> Neat, thank you
[18:29] <Jessica_> daftkyins: yes do and just went inside that folder within recovery mode
[18:29] <user123321> Suppose I want to install 2 Ubuntu or LUbuntu servers with identical server programs in each one (eg: Apache and might be other server programs), is CARP good for HA and LB? Does anyone have experience with CARP?
[18:30] <daftykins> Jessica_: ok is this xubuntu 14.04 ?
[18:30] <Jessica_> daftykins:13.10
[18:31] <daftykins> ugh
[18:32] <daftykins> Jessica_: just so you know, you have 3 weeks left of support on that version
[18:33] <Jessica_> thanks for the info. iw ill update after this big issue i have ;)
[18:34] <daftykins> Jessica_: hmm, i have no idea on the path to get packages from for your version, can you get an address by running "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" ?
[18:34] <daftykins> you'll see http:///blah blah/... i only need the "blah blah" bit
[18:34] <daftykins> e.g. archive.ubuntu.com - except it won't be that
[18:34] <sere> is it possible to sync music to and lg phone with rhythmbox..i can only see it in mass storate
[18:34] <sere> storage*
[18:35] <varunendra> Jessica_, what does this command give your - "apt-get install --reinstall --print-uris lightdm" ?
[18:35] <varunendra> you *
[18:37] <subb1> Could anyone here help me?
[18:37] <varunendra> !ask | subb1
[18:37] <Jessica_> varunendra: i see a url link that . i think it is the url for lightdm
[18:37] <varunendra> Jessica_, just one URL?
[18:37] <user123321> ubottu, hi
[18:38] <varunendra> Jessica_, you can use that url(s) to download the .deb packages on your host windows, then move them to the shared folder (shared with the VM), then install with "dpkg -i *" (from within the shared folder)
[18:38] <subb1> DNS resolution on my laptop is breaking every time i power on. I'll then have to set it to google's public NS in resolv.conf, which by various sources, is a bad idea. it's the same behavious even when I switch ISPs. My version is trusty 14.04.  No, I don't have 'dnsmasq' installaed but I do have dnsmasq-base.
[18:39] <Jessica_> varunendra: yes one url. and it sys 1 package re-installed. does it mean that lightdm is re-installed? ;)
[18:39] <varunendra> Jessica_, yes
[18:39] <subb1> Many forums suggested that i'ts a bug with dnsmasq 2.68 but I don't have that installed. I only have dnsmasq-base, which again, I upgraded to 2.71-1 and is still not working!
[18:40] <daftykins> that's impressive for a system that doesn't have a network connection
[18:40] <varunendra> Jessica_, let me know if you need step-by-step instructions. I think it is 4 steps in all.
[18:40] <subb1> It's verryyyy annoying! :(
[18:40] <Jessica_> varunnendra: then i can just reboot and try. correct? yes, please give me step by step instructions. am a rookie
[18:40] <varunendra> daftykins, the --print-uris option is a boon for no-internet systems. Provided the package info is updated at least once.
[18:40] <daftykins> subb1: i'd ditch them all, stop using dnsmasq and then hardcode nameservers in resolv.conf that won't get overridden on reboot
[18:40] <TJ-> subb1: Network Manager in Ubuntu uses dnsmasq to provide the DNS resolver locally, and dhclient as the DHCP client, are you using the regular Ubuntu network configuration?
[18:41] <daftykins> varunendra: i don't follow... the above messages seem to suggest that that command mystically reinstalled it
[18:41] <daftykins> it can't pull packages out of thin air
[18:41] <subb1> daftykins, I connect to VPN so a new set of NS get's overwrittern there for the local private network. If I overwrite resolvonf, then it won't get updated when i connect to vpn the next time.
[18:42] <subb1> TJ-, yes I'm using the reguluar.
[18:42] <varunendra> daftykins, it just pretends to install the package(s) like it is going to... but then the --print-uris option forces apt to just print the download URIs, so that user can manually download/install them later
[18:42] <daftykins> varunendra: yeah that's what i expected, so they can be downloaded on Jessica_'s host. i tried the commands myself but got no URIs
[18:42] <Jessica_> so should i reboot and try to see if things work fine?
[18:42] <Jessica_> oh ok ;)
[18:42] <subb1> TJ-, If i remove the dnsmasq-base package, network-manager package get's removed too. !
[18:42] <varunendra> Jessica_, first, use that URI to download the .deb package that needs to be installed
[18:42] <TJ-> subb1: If the VPNs are managed by Network Manager, you can change the options to Type "DHCP (Addresses Only)" I think it is, which prevents any DNS or route changes
[18:43] <daftykins> Jessica_: download it on your Windows host, put it in the shared folder, use the VM to move it to /var/cache/apt/archives/ then install with "apt-get install lightdm"
[18:43] <varunendra> daftykins, did you also use the --reinstall option? You'd get nothing if the packages are already cached in the apt cache.
[18:43] <daftykins> yes
[18:43] <subb1> TJ-, hmm... not following. I also tried commenting out dnsmasq in NetworkManager.conf... no luck.
[18:44] <subb1> Ubuntu and it's crappy new practices!
[18:44] <subb1> :(
[18:44] <varunendra> daftykins, Jessica_ no need to move it to /var/cache/apt/archives - that would help nothing. It can be installed from anywhere - just make sure there are no unnecessary packages there if using the '*' character instead of package name.
[18:44] <subb1> I was happily using 10.04, but then I had to upgrade it to get some updated packages for my work reasons.
[18:44] <daftykins> oh yeah silly me, not sure why i didn't think of just dpkg -i
[18:45] <daftykins> varunendra: anyway if you can take over, i need to head to the shop!
[18:45] <varunendra> daftykins, with pleasure :)
[18:45] <daftykins> back shortly.
[18:45] <Pici> subb1: Have you seen this http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ or this https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution yet?
[18:46] <jmunsch> would someone be so kind as to `netcat -zv <IP_ADDRESS> 80`
[18:46] <Pici> jmunsch: netcat: connect to <IP_ADDRESS> port 80 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
[18:47] <MonkeyDust> jmunsch  Connection refused
[18:47] <varunendra> Jessica_, I am just trying to help installing the lightdm package. I don't know if that would also solve your problem. Let me know when the package is downloaded.
[18:47] <jmunsch> Pici : thanks a ton!
[18:47] <subb1> Pici, doesn't help..
[18:47] <subb1> :(
[18:47] <Jessica_> yes, i understand  you. thanks. am on it
[18:47] <TJ-> subb1: In the network manager's GUI applet, in the Connection configuration dialog, under the "IPv4" or "IPv6" tabs, the "Method" "Automatic (Only addresses)" option will prevent the VPN from replacing local nameserver or route settings
[18:48] <subb1> TJ-, but I want the new set of NS to be replaced when I connect to VPN. Else, the DMZ domains wont' resolve.
[18:49] <guardian1> hello, im trying to get php5enmod to work in unbuntu 12.04 / php 5.3.10 .... i posted the problem on askunbutu and here last night with no solution yet... http://askubuntu.com/questions/495920/php5enmod-returns-command-not-found
[18:50] <martin1969> hi all. i'm trying to find the mapping of my kensington turbo mouse. in the terminal, this is what i typed: xinput get-button-map Kensington 4 button mouse, yet i'm getting unable to find device error message.
[18:50] <f00dMonsta> has anyone encountered an issue with unity freezing up? the indicators seem to have frozen as well (it moves if I click on them but none of the dropdowns work)
[18:51] <TJ-> subb1: So the 'no resolving' is without the VPN in place? My first step would be to check the messages from network manager in "/var/log/syslog" when the connection is established
[18:52] <hiram> hola
[18:52] <subb1> TJ-, when connected to VPN, the new NS set is placed in resolvconf. Those work very well ! It's when I log out from the VPN, dnsmasq-base comes in to play
[18:52] <subb1> and screwsssss
[18:52] <TJ-> subb1: Hmmm, what kind of VPN is it? IPsec, OpenVPN, PPTP ?
[18:52] <subb1> PPTP
[18:53] <TJ-> subb1: I've never experience that issue, but I use IPsec and OpenVPN. Not tested PPTP
[18:53] <subb1> no TJ- it has nothing to do with VPN.
[18:54] <pyotr> How will I know when memtest is done?
[18:54] <TJ-> subb1: Then check syslog - the nameservers for your local network are usually provided over DHCP, and you'll see them reported in the log if the DHCP server is providing them, and N.M. will 'give' them to dnsmasq to use as its upstream servers.
[18:55] <Nesimo> Salut
[18:55] <Nesimo> Eee ya pas des francais ?
[18:55] <Pici> !fr | Nesimo
[18:55] <f00dMonsta> i have closed all my programs (excluding this xchat and a terminal)
[18:55] <TJ-> subb1: So you're confident the issue isn't caused by the VPN DNS servers being retained when the VPN is disconnected?
[18:55] <subb1> TJ-, yep. not vpn at all
[18:56] <subb1> TJ-, ok let's forget about VPN. it still fails to resolve names when I power on the laptop after a shutdown.! :(
[18:56] <amanthakur> Hiu guys, i need to develop a small GUI for ubuntu in fluxbox window environment. Does any one have experience with fluxbox environment???
[18:56] <TJ-> subb1: OK, so focus on the DHCP side then, check what is received via the log
[18:56] <amanthakur> Hiu guys, i need to develop a small GUI application for ubuntu in fluxbox window environment. Does any one have experience with fluxbox environment???
[18:56] <TJ-> subb1: there are circumstances where the VPN DNS servers could be retained and re-used on reboot, which is why I'm asking those questions
[18:57] <MonkeyDust> amanthakur  there's also #ubuntu-app-devel
[18:57] <subb1> TJ-, no they're not. I don't see them in resolvonf nor do I see them via nm-tool .
[18:57] <amanthakur> MonkeyDust, thanks
[18:58] <netameta> How can i clone a private ripositoy from github // commit and push etc ?
[18:58] <jmunsch> Pici : this would indicate that the router does not have port 80 open?
[18:58] <pyotr> So I'm running memtest to try to figure out why Ubuntu sometimes fully freezes - how will I know when memtest is done?
[18:58] <Pici> jmunsch: correct
[19:01] <loa> pyotr, i think 20 minutes will be enought)
[19:01] <TJ-> subb1: you wouldn't see them in "/etc/resolv.conf" - that is a symlink to "/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf" which simply points to the local dnsmaq instance, which is usually launched and managed by Network Manager, which uses the Dbus to set the servers
[19:01] <pyotr> Thank you loa! I'll check back then
[19:01]  * pyotr afk
[19:02] <subb1> TJ-, ok anyting to look out for when I reboot next?
[19:02] <TJ-> subb1: So, what does syslog show when the DHCP lease is accepted; something like "NetworkManager[2133]: <info>   nameserver '<IP_ADDRESS>'"
[19:03] <TJ-> subb1: you'd expect to see something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7776671/
[19:03] <Jessica_> varenendra/dafkins: it looks like the idea with dumping  afile in the shared_folder will not work because the VM does not display the new file i dumped in through windows
[19:03] <subb1> TJ-, ok budd. i'll check that
[19:04] <martin1969> can someone help me with key mapping a kensington turbo mouse?
[19:04] <varunendra> Jessica_, I already suspected that. The vm shared folder only works when the 'vmware tools' are loaded and working. I don't think they do in recovery mode.
[19:05] <daftykins> this is virtualbox afaiui
[19:05] <varunendra> Jessica_, alternative is to use a USB flash drive, although I also doubt that.
[19:06] <varunendra> daftykins, Jessica_ ah, 'Guest Additions' then - different name for similar things - virtual hardware/feature drivers
[19:06] <daftykins> yeah :)
[19:06] <Jessica_> varunendra: i can see  .gz file for the light dm. can't we use that file?
[19:06] <daftykins> i honestly can't think of the easiest way to resolve that one.
[19:06] <JordanJ2> Hi, If I have a OEM windows 8, will I still want to install grub?
[19:07] <varunendra> Jessica_, where do you see that file? the one we downloaded must be a .deb file
[19:07] <daftykins> JordanJ2: what do *you* mean by it being OEM?
[19:07] <JordanJ2> While dual booting with windows and Ubuntu 14.04
[19:07] <JordanJ2> The manufacturer preinstalled it
[19:08] <daftykins> yeah that's fine
[19:08] <daftykins> JordanJ2: pretty sure you were here talking about partitioning the other day
[19:08] <Jessica_> varunendra: when i entered that command you gave me it show me a url and a .gz file. also when i do  whereis lightdm i see  a .gz file
[19:08] <varunendra> Jessica_, current alternatives are - 1) use a USB flash drive, 2) create an ISO with the package, and load it as a virtual disc, 3) create and add a virtual hdd with ext partition on it, using a live ubuntu iso (most cumbersome, but doable)
[19:08] <JordanJ2> daftykins: Yes
[19:10] <daftykins> JordanJ2: two things i would say are: before installing ubuntu, make sure you've burnt any DVDs to backup the recovery partition of your system if available - and secondly, ensure you have all windows updates installed before installing ubuntu too.
[19:10] <varunendra> Jessica_, I'm not sure about the gz file, I don't even think the 'apt-get ...' command should show any, but we definitely are going to use the .deb file, no .gz or others
[19:10] <varunendra> Jessica_, you do have a .deb file now, right?
[19:10] <JordanJ2> daftykins: Done and done
[19:11] <daftykins> JordanJ2: then time to have at it \o/
[19:11] <JordanJ2> I'm just stuck if to install grub or not?
[19:11] <`Yoda> Upgraded from 13.10 -> 14.04 -- Upgrade stopped because of 'errors'. The only errors I could see in the upgrade was these types: https://i.imgur.com/BqyxEFB.png - Is that a good or bad thing? and can I continue using my system w/o clean installing?
[19:11] <JordanJ2> `Yoda \o XD
[19:11] <daftykins> JordanJ2: if you've booted successfully into UEFI mode as is required, you should be good to go - anything it wants to do to install will be needed.
[19:11] <`Yoda> Hi, lol
[19:12] <JordanJ2> And the mount point for the efi partition... /boot/efi?
[19:12] <daftykins> !uefi | JordanJ2 If it says so here it's golden.
[19:17] <martin1969> any know anything about keymapping?
[19:17] <martin1969> i'm trying to set the top left button as backward in firefox and top right button as forward
[19:19] <cemotyz09> !bot
[19:21] <ttykjhjfghchv> hi
[19:22] <cemotyz09> I have a dual boot system is there a way to make that partition available to samba since I have to type root password every time to make it available I'm the only one with permission to it
[19:24] <trijntje> cemotyz09: just open it using nautilus, it automatically makes it read/writable for the current user
[19:24] <cemotyz09> Chmod and chown won't change permissions
[19:24] <cemotyz09> right I want to make it available to other users on my network as well
[19:25] <cemotyz09> My user can access the share just not other users
[19:25] <andrewgay> Hi
[19:25] <trijntje> cemotyz09: you want to make your whole windows partition read/writable for anyone on the network?
[19:25] <cemotyz09> just readable
[19:26] <cemotyz09> but yes
[19:27] <trijntje> cemotyz09: thats still a bad idea, anyone can steal your private information, even passwords etc stored in firefox. But if you still want to put the windows partition in fstab and configure samba to share it
[19:27] <daftykins> cemotyz09: why are you sharing the Windows drive from a booted Linux? why aren't you sharing the Windows drive from... Windows? :)
[19:27] <cemotyz09> I never use the windows partition only for my songs and movies so I just want to make those shares avalilable
[19:28] <andrewgay> Windows suckor
[19:28] <trijntje> !ops | andrewgay
[19:28] <rww> howdy
[19:28] <trijntje> he was trolling here before today
[19:28] <andrewgay> Lol
[19:28] <trijntje> thanks
[19:29] <cemotyz09> So to make sure if I add the windows partition to fstab I could then change permissions to 755 and make the share available?
[19:29] <daftykins> cemotyz09: yeah, you can't apply permissions to the windows drive because NTFS isn't compatible with permissions.
[19:30] <cemotyz09> O ok didn't know that
[19:30] <daftykins> you shouldn't even have a root password ;)
[19:31] <coderman1> alright guys, i accidentally ran dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda10 bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync on the wrong drive
[19:31] <coderman1> is there anything i can do to recover?
[19:31] <daftykins> nope you've lost 1GB
[19:31] <genii> coderman1: Unfortunately not
[19:31] <trijntje> coderman1: yes, only the first 1G of the partition /sdev/sda10 is lost, the rest should still be there
[19:31] <coderman1> but i cannot see anything on the entire drive...tehres no way to recover any of the data?
[19:32] <cemotyz09> thanks dafykins and trijntje
[19:32] <trijntje> coderman1: did you dd to /dev/sda or to /dev/sda10?
[19:32] <coderman1> trijntje: sda10
[19:32] <coderman1> how can i atleast get the drive to show back up so i can see the files that arent gone?
[19:33] <trijntje> coderman1: I would only mount that partition ro so you dont accidentally do more damage. How many partitions did you have on there?
[19:33] <trijntje> can you put the output of sudo fdisk -l on paste.ubuntu.com?
[19:34] <daftykins> coderman1: this is very risky but you could try - http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/recover-bad-superblock-from-corrupted-partition/
[19:34] <coderman1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7776810/
[19:35] <trijntje> coderman1: so you cannot see anything on /dev/sda10 or you cannot see anything on /dev/sda?
[19:35] <coderman1> trijntje: sda10 shwos 100% used and no files at all
[19:35] <coderman1> daftykins: dumpe2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda10 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[19:36] <daftykins> did you read the whole thing? *shrug* someone else may have a better idea
[19:36] <trijntje> coderman1: I think most filsystems store all the information about the partition at the beginning of the block, so that all got overwritten. Just unmount the drive and use testdisk/photorec to recover the files
[19:37] <coderman1> trijntje: thats good to hear, the drive isnt mounted
[19:37] <coderman1> it was mounted to /home
[19:37] <coderman1> im not a linux expert..btw ;)
[19:37] <daftykins> don't worry, we caught that at accidental use of dd ;)
[19:38] <Bashing-om> trijntje: Just a thought guys, what is the location of the spare super blocks ? Maybe replace the superblock from a backup ?
[19:38] <Ste__> hello
[19:39] <trijntje> Bashing-om: hm yeah, I thought ext4 also stored a super block at the end of the partition for situations like this, any experts can confirm this?
[19:39] <trijntje> coderman1: what was the partition type?
[19:39] <Ste__> who can help me to change my ip adress please?
[19:39] <coderman1> trijntje: ext4
[19:39] <coderman1> its asking what the partition table type is in testdisk
[19:39] <daftykins> Ste__: your internal network one, behind a router?
[19:39] <Ste__> yes
[19:40] <coderman1> daftykins: i usually use dd to test the performance of a drive
[19:40] <daftykins> Ste__: what makes you feel this is necessary?
[19:40] <coderman1> never seen this happen
[19:40] <coderman1> im a dba, not linux admin though :(
[19:40] <daftykins> coderman1: haha, that's really really bad XD
[19:40] <Bashing-om> trijntje: Have a read here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2177756 , see if that helps to restore a super block.
[19:40] <daftykins> coderman1: for future reference i think smartctl has some benchmark tests
[19:40] <coderman1> anyway what partition table type should i choose?
[19:41] <coderman1> intel, efi,humax,mac,none,sun,xbox?
[19:41] <daftykins> msdos
[19:41] <trijntje> coderman1: the one that the partition was before it got deleted  I guess
[19:41] <Ste__> daftykins yes i have a router
[19:42] <daftykins> Ste__: and why do you feel it necessary to change what IP you use behind it?
[19:42] <trijntje> coderman1: after recovery, you can try restoring the partition with the link Bashing-om posted above, that might work
[19:43] <Ste__> daftykins i try to rule a shoutcast server on a dynamic ip but i`m blockt with same ip adress all time eaven it is a dynamic
[19:43] <coderman1> well first i have to figure out what the table type is
[19:43] <trijntje> coderman1: you just said it was ext4
[19:43] <coderman1> but thats not an option in testdisk
[19:43] <amigamagic> hi guys, someone knows a good program for remote desktop sharing ? It should share exactly the same session I have on the server, not a new one, and it should be very fast, like x2go.
[19:44] <daftykins> Ste__: so it's actually the internet-facing IP you want to change, not your internal computer one
[19:44] <coderman1> trijntje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7776836/
[19:44] <Ste__> daftykins yes the public ip adress
[19:45] <ramiro> kuechenstudio
[19:45] <daftykins> Ste__: keep your router turned off for 15 minutes, turn it back on and you should have a new IP if it's dynamic with your ISP.
[19:45] <ramiro> sry
[19:45] <Ste__> thanks
[19:45] <Absolute0> My apt-get seems broken; I get a bunch of unable to connect to my_ip:6789 for any apt-get operation
[19:45] <trijntje> coderman1: I'd guess this would also work for ext4: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk:_undelete_file_for_ext2
[19:45] <Absolute0> How can I fix this?
[19:46] <Absolute0> is there a way to "reset" all apt get configurations to the default?
[19:46] <Monotoko> Absolute0 - it shouldn't be connecting to your environment
[19:46] <Simonor> hi amigamagic. maybe tightvnc does a Linux version .
[19:46] <Monotoko> *IP
[19:46] <Monotoko> what are the sources?
[19:46] <amigamagic> simonor the problem of tightvnc and similar programs is that they are VERY SLOW when I try to connect remotely
[19:47] <Absolute0> Acquire::http::proxy "http://<IP_ADDRESS>:6789/";
[19:47] <Absolute0> is that the problem?
[19:47] <Absolute0> In /etc/apt/apt.conf
[19:47] <amigamagic> x2go is very fast, but it creates a new session each time you connect to the remote desktop, but I would like to connect to the same session
[19:47] <amigamagic> so I was trying to find another program
[19:47] <Monotoko> Absolute0, looks like it
[19:47] <trijntje> Absolute0: try removing it ;)
[19:47] <Monotoko> did you set a proxy up?
[19:47] <Absolute0> how do I set the apt-get proxy to socks5 localhost:12345?
[19:48] <Monotoko> change the port to 12345?
[19:48] <Absolute0> man apt-get /proxy returns nothing
[19:49] <Absolute0> Monotoko: that is my question, how do I do that?
[19:49] <Monotoko> Absolute0: <Absolute0> Acquire::http::proxy "http://<IP_ADDRESS>:6789/";
[19:49] <Monotoko> change that line?
[19:49] <compdoc> I use xrpd, which uses vncserver. had to do some changes to allow me to log into the same sessions
[19:50] <Absolute0> Monotoko: not working...
[19:50] <amigamagic> compdoc, actually I use xrdp too
[19:50] <amigamagic> but it's slow like hell from remote
[19:50] <compdoc> mine isnt
[19:51] <coderman1> trijntje: in testdisk should i be doing an analyze?
[19:51] <coderman1> also that undelete does show some files available for recovery, but none of the ones i need
[19:51] <amigamagic> compdoc maybe we have very different bandwidth in upload
[19:51] <Monotoko> Absolute0, where is it connecting to?
[19:51] <coderman1> thats on another server though...on the fucked up server it cant even read the partition yet
[19:52] <Simonor> not sure why amigamagic. could be network latency. we have tried tightvnc on windoze vm running on a single core without too much trouble. what's your target graphics setup?
[19:52] <Absolute0> http://askubuntu.com/questions/35223/syntax-for-socks-proxy-in-apt-conf
[19:52] <trijntje> coderman1: I'm not sure, I haven't used testdisk in a long time. You should probably read the manual if your files are important to you
[19:52] <Absolute0> it should be socks://
[19:53] <amigamagic> Simonor, I currently use xrdp and it has more or less the same speed of tightvnc, but it's more stable
[19:53] <Monotoko> Absolute0, looks like that's the case
[19:53] <Monotoko> try it
[19:53] <amigamagic> anyway, there is no comparison with x2go
[19:53] <amigamagic> with x2go it's near like you are working on the real desktop machine
[19:53] <P4RT1KL3> Hello
[19:53] <amigamagic> from remote internet connections too
[19:54] <P4RT1KL3> Hello
[19:55] <trijntje> welcome P4RT1KL3
[19:55] <Simonor> x2go sounds like something to look at when I get back to work.
[19:55] <P4RT1KL3> Thanks
[19:55] <P4RT1KL3> Derek
[19:56] <Simonor> anybody know a good Lua ide?
[19:58] <amigamagic> Simonor I use Geany for many scripting languages
[19:59] <unix4linux> so has anyone ran into the dialog box that shows questions marks with the OK button during the install after selecting your partitions to install on?
[19:59] <unix4linux> I keep getting this when trying to install 14.04
[20:00] <Simonor> geany? Thanks amigamagic!. I'll check it out now on my wdc.
[20:00]  * trijntje is away, good luck coderman1
[20:01] <amigamagic> Simonor, geany is a very fast and light little IDE
[20:02] <amigamagic> I like very much notepad++ on windows, and I think geany is what is closer to it on linux
[20:05] <Simonor> amigamagic, sounds cool. home project so I would like something similar to idle for learning. wdc =world domination centre incidentally :-)  ciao for now

[20:08] <zacg> I have ubuntu 12.10 installed, when I get propmpted to upgrade to 13 I click install on the GUI popup window and the installation crashes. Any tips for working around this?
[20:09] <daftykins> !eol | zacg follow the last link:
[20:10] <OerHeks> zacg, fresh install of 14.04 would be a lot faster
[20:11] <zacg> ah okay, I might just do that

[20:14] <jetson> hello folks, i have an acer c720 chromebook and im trying to get the touchpad to work with ubuntu 14.04
[20:14] <jetson> i have been following this guide containing a kernel patch:
[20:14] <jetson> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2190187
[20:14] <jetson> however im getting an error while running the script and i had problems following further instructions and advice i found while researching
[20:17] <suleman> how to reset unity in ubuntu 14.04
[20:17] <daftykins> jetson: i don't think we can really help with chrubuntu, are they still stuck on 12.04 ?
[20:17] <eeee> suleman: unity --reset
[20:17] <JordanJ2> Hi, Will I need to mount the EFI partition if the type is already "EFI boot partition"?
[20:18] <jetson> daftykins: i shall clarify, im not using chrubuntu. i removed the rom write protection on my chromebook and wiped chromeos
[20:18] <daftykins> jetson: oh yeah you said 14.04... the problem with that guide is it refers to the older kernel, so there's no guarantee that process will work
[20:18] <daftykins> no doubt that's why you're having issues
[20:19] <JordanJ2> daftykins: Would you know?
[20:19] <jetson> thank you daftykins. how do i (if at all) downgrade to an older kernel that allows my touchpad to work?
[20:19] <daftykins> JordanJ2: know what?
[20:19] <daftykins> jetson: you can't do that
[20:19] <daftykins> JordanJ2: we went over that the last time you came and asked, can you just install it already :P
[20:20] <jetson> daftykins: i suppose my best bet would be reformatting and going with an older version of Ubuntu for now
[20:20] <JordanJ2> daftykins: Yes, but there is no mount as point
[20:20] <jetson> thank you for your insight
[20:20] <daftykins> jetson: no problem, good luck
[20:20] <jetson> have a beautiful night my rich friend
[20:20] <daftykins> lol
[20:21] <JordanJ2> daftykins: http://imgur.com/B8gEdqI
[20:21] <daftykins> JordanJ2: if you're doing a 'something else' install, you mount that partition to /boot/efi manually
[20:21] <eeee> JordanJ2: i think ubuntu automatically detects the EFI partition, you can make a seperate /boot if you want, but it is unnecessary
[20:22] <eeee> daftykins: i dont think he has to mount it manually
[20:22] <JordanJ2> Alright, so should I still have to mount that? I don't see the option
[20:22] <daftykins> eeee: i thought that was under an auto select install, ok
[20:22] <eeee> JordanJ2: no i dont think so
[20:22] <daftykins> lets check in the page i linked you to earlier
[20:22] <daftykins> !uefi
[20:23] <daftykins> "if you use the manual partitioning ("Something else"), the difference is that you will have to set the /boot/efi mount point to the EFI partition. And if there was not any EFI partition on your HDD, you first will have to create it (see the "Creating an EFI partition" paragraph below). "
[20:23] <eeee> "Mount point: /boot/efi (remark: no need to set this mount point when using the manual partitioning, the Ubuntu installer will detect it automatically) "
[20:23] <JordanJ2> Yes
[20:23] <eeee> daftykins: huh ?
[20:23] <JordanJ2> but it looks like Ubuntu already did that
[20:24] <daftykins> ok then, all is fine.
[20:24] <JordanJ2> Okay

[20:37] <ste0> i love this place
[20:41] <AndroidLoverInSF> my openshot is broken after recent kubuntu/ubuntu update, anyone know how to fix it, got broken packages, i'm stuck
[20:42] <ste0> AndroidLoverInSF: what happens when you try to run it
[20:46] <jost> Hi. Recently, Ubuntu randomly installs the package "libapache2-mod-php5". I don't want that package, since I have my own PHP setup. How do I prevent reinstallations of it when ubuntu is update?
[20:50] <ste0> jost: Perhaps you could figure out what is 'requiring' that package?
[20:51] <ste0> what up matt_symes ?
[20:52] <jost> ste0: appearently nothing, since I can just uninstall it
[20:52]  * matt_symes is trying to see if coolbits is available for windows 7 sli cards
[20:52] <ste0> jost: does it show up in /var/log/apt/history.log
[20:53] <Centinel> Other than System76, can anyone recommend a vendor that sells pre-assembled Ubuntu desktop PCs?
[20:53] <ste0> matt_symes: Not enough power?
[20:55] <matt_symes> ste0: Not enough brain power today :) Trying to see if it's possible to overclock 2 sli cards on windows 7 64bit.
[20:55] <jost> ste0: yes - it was installed when some packages where updated today. Among the packages was php5-common, and some more php modules
[20:55] <ste0> Centinel: You would think there would be other players in the game huh?
[20:55] <daftykins> matt_symes: that is not a topic for discussion in here.
[20:55] <matt_symes> no worries daftykins :)
[20:56] <ste0> jost: One sec
[20:56] <Centinel> ste0: Yes, absolutely. System76 is the only one I can find that actually offers support for Ubuntu.
[20:56] <jost> also, php5 was updated, which has that package as dependency, but as "or dependency"
[20:56] <bekks> Centinel: Dell does offer Ubuntu support too, as well as HP.
[20:57] <Centinel> bekks: Good to know. I'll look into them.
[20:58] <Centinel> I work for a small art school that may be interested in moving its entry-level personnel from Mac to Ubuntu in order to save money.
[20:59] <garietyxxx> Sup guys, is there an Ubuntu theme that's based on the Chrome OS gui?
[21:00] <ste0> jost: apt show php5 lists libapache2-mod-php5 as a dependency. I'll see if I can figure out a way to force it not to install
[21:00] <coderman1> i have a checksum running fixing a hard drive and its prompting for every "group" it needs to fix...how can i tell how many "groups" there are total
[21:01] <jost> ste0: it depends on libapache2-mod-php5 OR php5-cgi OR (other stuff)
[21:01] <pinPoint> I have an issue with upgrade
[21:01] <jost> ste0: and php5-cgi is installed
[21:01] <pinPoint> Your current Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is going out of support
[21:01] <pinPoint> on 08/07/14.
[21:01] <ste0> jost: Ok, one sec.
[21:01] <pinPoint> i ran the necessary provided update command and it crashed
[21:02] <pinPoint> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[21:06] <ste0> jost: The only thing i can recommend is checking the 'apt show' for each package that was updated (from /var/log/apt/history.log) and figure out which one has libapache2-mod-php5 as a dependency
[21:06] <Beldar> pinPoint, What ubuntu release is it?
[21:06] <jost> ste0: ok - thanks
[21:06] <ste0> jost: Then email the maintainer of the package
[21:06] <pinPoint> Beldar: 12.04.5
[21:07] <pinPoint> 12.04.4
[21:07] <coderman1> Free blocks count wrong for group #241 (32254, counted=32253). does anyone know how to show how many "groups" there are?
[21:08] <Beldar> pinPoint, You will need to show these errors to the channel in  a pastebin , "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
[21:08] <Beldar> pinPoint, Give some details and mention any extra repos added.
[21:10] <DavidTenant> Is there any possible way to boost wireless signals?

[21:11] <Glorfindel_> Why doesn't the live ubuntu session come with a decent irc client anymore?
[21:12] <mikeg3> Hi how do I set up an l2tp vpn client in Ubuntu?
[21:14] <JordanJ2> Hi, was here a few minutes ago. I install Ubuntu (14.04) and rebooted, I had no option to boot to Ubuntu and wen't straight to windows
[21:15] <buddylist> how do i disable dns masquerading
[21:16] <xangua> Glorfindel_: it never came with a dedicated irc client
[21:16] <asad_> yeah
[21:16] <Glorfindel_> No, but pidgen worked decently
[21:17] <asad_> It did not
[21:17] <xangua> Glorfindel_: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[21:17] <Squarepy> xchat borked on me, on 14.04
[21:17] <asad_> sudo apt-get install linux
[21:18] <Glorfindel_> xangua: I know how to get it, but I was wondering why they would have taken it out
[21:18] <Glorfindel_> I suppose irc isn't as popular anymore so they didn't think it was worth it
[21:18] <Beldar> pinPoint, I said "to the channel", not me. Run a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and show all of it in a pastebin. You have to at the least  fix the broken packages problem, or if attached to you installs in that context.
[21:19] <Glorfindel_> JordanJ2: did you install it to the same disk as windows?
[21:19] <daftykins> JordanJ2: you know about shutting windows 8 down 'properly' by holding shift when doing it etc?
[21:19] <JordanJ2> No
[21:19] <JordanJ2> daftykins: no?
[21:19] <daftykins> oh, now you do
[21:19] <JordanJ2> Alright
[21:19] <JordanJ2> I would hold shift while shutting down windows...?
[21:20] <Glorfindel_> yup
[21:20] <JordanJ2> And what does that do?
[21:20] <daftykins> this is because windows 8 kind of does a hybrid hibernate instead of shutting down fully
[21:20] <daftykins> that's why it appears to boot so quickly, as it's actually just resuming from disk
[21:21] <JordanJ2> Ah
[21:21] <daftykins> this *might* be interfering with boot
[21:21] <JordanJ2> So hold shift, shut down and see if anything works?
[21:21] <daftykins> yep
[21:21] <JordanJ2> Will try that, thank you
[21:23] <Deihmos1> why even shut a pc down
[21:24] <MonkeyDust> Deihmos1  to save the planet from glabol warming
[21:24] <MonkeyDust> global*
[21:24] <JordanJ2> daftykins: Nothing :<
[21:25] <rko_> halo
[21:25] <daftykins> JordanJ2: it may be worth trying to check in your BIOS/EFI for boot order options, picking the disk itself over the 'Windows Boot Manager' option may help
[21:26] <JordanJ2> Okay
[21:26] <Glorfindel_> JordanJ2: you said that it isn't installed on the same disk right?
[21:26] <JordanJ2> Correct, same hard drive, seperate partition
[21:26] <Glorfindel_> or are we past this point :P
[21:26] <Glorfindel_> oh
[21:26] <Glorfindel_> ok

[21:35] <gurr> Hello! I have a problem with my monitor not turning off properly. It fades to black after 5 minutes like it should, but  then it immediately turns back on at the lock screen. Any idea what that could be?
[21:38] <MonkeyDust> gurr  system settings > screen locker
[21:40] <gurr> MonkeyDust: Yes, it's set to lock the screen after the monitor is turned off which it does. The problem is that the monitor turns back on at the lock screen and then it stays on "forever" when it should sleep
[21:41] <Glorfindel_> Even when you use the button?
[21:41] <Glorfindel_> on the monitor?
[21:41] <gurr> It worked fine up until sometime this week. This morning I realized that the screen had been turned on the entire night...
[21:42] <gurr> Glorfindel_: The monitor is turned off when I use the power button, yes. :)
[21:43] <gurr> I really would like it to turn off by itself when I've been inactive for a while though...
[21:43] <Glorfindel_> I know it's not much of a solution, but using that would work :) Otherwise I don't know. What is the brand?
[21:44] <MonkeyDust> gurr  let the screen turn itself off, you mean?
[21:44] <gurr> It's an old asus laptop. don't know the exact model. But like I said, it has worked fine for years. Don't know what caused it to stop working now....
[21:45] <sarahS> so, i have to backup my ubuntu server to a file to give to my corporate overlords so that they can run it from a VM.
[21:46] <Glorfindel_> ah, so it used to work. What if anything happened to change that? Updated the os?
[21:46] <daftykins> sarahS: ok, is it a VPS online, or local?
[21:46] <sarahS> i've tried creating an image of the drive with clonezilla, but the resulting image is a folder?  i was expecting a .is
[21:46] <sarahS> .iso
[21:46] <sarahS> local
[21:46] <daftykins> you might want to read clonezilla documentation a little more closely
[21:47] <sarahS> well...im wondering if clonezilla is even the right approach
[21:47] <gurr> Glorfindel_: Most likely yes. I've installed every update up until now
[21:47] <sarahS> should i be reading clonezilla documentation or http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/en/man8/backup-manager.8.html
[21:47] <daftykins> sarahS: natty was a loooooong time ago
[21:47] <gurr> Glorfindel_: I'm trying to find out what could've caused it. It's why I'm asking
[21:47] <soman> Why xubuntu offers me updates to older version of kernel? 'uname -r' outputs '3.2.0-66-generic'
[21:47] <soman> '
[21:48] <soman> Xubuntu 12.04
[21:48] <sarahS> oh..how about dump?
[21:48] <sarahS> or bacula
[21:48] <k1l_> soman: ubuntu still supports the kernel shipped with 12.04
[21:48] <Glorfindel_> Well I'm not anyware near an expert gurr :) just trying to get more info until someone who is bumbles along :P
[21:49] <daftykins> sarahS: understanding what virt tech they intend to use might point to an answer more easily
[21:49] <gurr> Glorfindel_: yeah, me neither as you can tell :)
[21:50] <sarahS> daftykins: i was told to provide a .iso
[21:50] <daftykins> mmhmm, that's a misleading request imo
[21:51] <gurr> MonkeyDust: I mean let the monitor "go to sleep" after a certain time of inactivity. It does fade out, but instead of staying in sleep mode it turns right back on again
[21:51] <soman> k1l_: update manager offers me 3.2.0-65-generic as a security update and 3.2.0-67-generic as offered update.
[21:51] <k1l_> soman: so where is the problem?
[21:51] <Glorfindel_> if it is a laptop why wouldn't you just shut the screen then?
[21:52] <soman> k1l_: why it offers two versions one of which is older? What is the reason of such behaviour?
[21:52] <gurr> Glorfindel_: I normally do that. This time I had some stuff running that I didn't want to pause/terminate
[21:52] <Glorfindel_> ah,
[21:53] <gurr> Glorfindel_: But still, if you leave for a while it's nice if it works...
[21:53] <k1l_> soman: the security issues get offered directly after a security issue is fixed. the other later one includes more patchens that were not that imidiately
[21:53] <Glorfindel_> yeah, and it should, not making any excuses :)
[21:53] <k1l_> soman: for specific changes see the changelog
[21:54] <soman> k1l_: ok
[21:54] <Glorfindel_> but if you want a temp solution I would set it so it won't sleep when you shut the cover and only lock. tada
[21:54] <mgw> I'm switching from OS X to Ubuntu as my main laptop… I just got a Zenbook UX302.
[21:55] <gurr> Glorfindel_: Actually, that would probably work fine as a permanent solution :)
[21:55] <mgw> I'm wiping Windows entirely, but need some custom partitioning… do I need to keep any of the partitions that come with it?
[21:55] <Glorfindel_> mgw: and......
[21:55] <daftykins> mgw: no, but boot Windows and make backup media
[21:56] <Glorfindel_> gurr: lol maybe
[21:56] <Glorfindel_> oh nm
[21:56] <Glorfindel_> :D
[21:56] <mgw> daftykins: I have no idea how to use Windows ;-)
[21:56] <mgw> Why would I want backup media? And how would I restore from it if I had it?
[21:57] <Glorfindel_> mgw: get help for windows in ##windows :)
[21:57] <daftykins> most manufacturers offer USB creation tools now
[21:57] <Glorfindel_> but backup is always a good idea
[21:57] <daftykins> mgw: you can continue without if you really want, but i'd recommend it.
[21:57] <Noiro> Hey guys, can I get some help getting ssh working? I downloaded, installed, and have the sshd_config, and forwarded port 22 to the proper machine, but while outside can see other services running on my machine, it can't see ssh. I can ssh <IP_ADDRESS> though so I assume it's running
[21:58] <daftykins> Noiro: are you sure you forwarded to the correct internal LAN IP?
[21:59] <Noiro> daftykins, I would assume so. It's the same one my MC server runs on. My comp is set as static. THough I just sudo apt-get installed ssh-server, opened and closed the config, and restarted the service
[21:59] <Noiro> I figure default is all I need for what I'm using it for
[21:59] <daftykins> openssh-server, yeah
[22:00] <Noiro> That one, yes
[22:00] <hackal> Hello, please what does /etc/init.d/ folder do or what is it used for?
[22:01] <Glorfindel_> hackal: why??
[22:01] <daftykins> Noiro: i don't know what to suggest beyond the IP being wrong... unless your ISP blocks SSH
[22:01] <Glorfindel_> I don't know
[22:01] <Noiro> daftykins, I just figured it out. I'm an idiot.
[22:02] <daftykins> do tell?
[22:02] <Noiro> Guess which genius forgot to click the 'enable port forward' box beside the service on the router
[22:02] <Noiro> Filled everything out and didn't enable it
[22:02] <Glorfindel_> umm Santa
[22:02] <paulo____> hello
[22:03] <daftykins> Noiro: :D router web admins can be so cruel, good spot.
[22:03] <daftykins> hi
[22:03] <morenoh149> what's a good way to remap my capslock key to escape again?
[22:03] <paulo____> i'm trying to get the source for 3.14.5 kernel. the command here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel (the one with apt-get) doesnt work
[22:03] <netameta> Guys is there a way to save username/password ingit ubuntu client so i wont have to enter my username/password everytime i pull/push something ?
[22:03] <netameta> i've tried git config --global user.name username// git config --global user.password password .. did not work
[22:03] <Glorfindel_> hackal: looks like some shell scripts or something
[22:04] <paulo____> it tells me: Unable to find a source package for linux-image-3.14.5-generic
[22:04] <Glorfindel_> I wouldn't delete it if thats what you are wondering
[22:05] <paulo____> any ideas?
[22:05] <rickylm> Hey I need help with Ubuntu regarding Dual booting with Windows 8.1, Can somebody help or is this not the support channel?
[22:06] <Glorfindel_> this is the support channel
[22:06] <Glorfindel_> did you try the shift shutdown
[22:06] <Glorfindel_> ?
[22:07] <rickylm> I followed this guide http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html and everything seemed to go fine until I did the reboot
[22:07] <rickylm> It will not show the GRUB menu at all. If I choose to hit Shift+Restart in Windows, I can get to Ubuntu but other than that I cant get to it.
[22:09] <Deihmos1> is it uefi?
[22:09] <Deihmos1> i think thats the only option
[22:10] <rickylm> Deihmos1:  You are referring to the Shift+Restart?
[22:11] <daftykins> rickylm: did you change your BIOS/EFI's boot device choice? it may be stuck on Windows Boot Manager
[22:11] <Deihmos1> i think you have to select ubuntu at boot if it is uefi
[22:12] <rickylm> daftykins:  Nope. Didnt read that anywhere, I suppose that would be a good start?
[22:12] <daftykins> indeed!
[22:12] <Deihmos1> f10 or whatever option you have to select the uefi boot
[22:12] <Pinkamena_D> How can I quickly run a program in /usr/bin without opening a terminal if it just runs a gui
[22:12] <daftykins> that's a one time thing Deihmos1 , useless for permanence
[22:12] <Pinkamena_D> I thought this was what alt+f2 was for but It does not seem to work
[22:12] <rickylm> Alright I will give that a try daftykins , Should I see something other than Windows Boot Manager when I  go into BIOS?
[22:12] <daftykins> Alt+F2 works if you enter the binary name, depends on the program
[22:13] <daftykins> rickylm: yes
[22:13] <Deihmos1> i am pretty surre i read that is what it is win 8.1 systems using uefi
[22:13] <rickylm> Alright let me go snoop around then, I will be back
[22:13] <rickylm> Thanks
[22:18] <Tarap> Hi ! I have a nerd question
[22:19] <rap424> You are in an Ubuntu IRC chat, all questions are nerd questions =)
[22:19] <Tarap> in my sourceslist deb http://archive.canonical.com/ wheezy partner doesn't work, and ping  http://archive.canonical.com/ wheezy partner doesn't answer
[22:19] <Tarap> (got a debian :) )
[22:19] <Tarap> but ping  archive.canonical.com/ wheezy partner
[22:20] <rap424> pinging that system doesn't respond to me either
[22:20] <Tarap> what is nerd is that I don't really know what is the diff between http://foo.url and simply foo.url :)
[22:20] <k1l_> Tarap: ping doesnt mind the "wheezy partner"
[22:21] <Tarap> yes i didn't send wheezy and min in ping args
[22:21] <rap424> Tarap: http:// just defines the protocol, foo.url is the actual domain name
[22:21] <Tarap> :)
[22:21] <rap424> Tarap: You can have ftp://foo.url and that is valid
[22:21] <k1l_> Tarap: ping is not http. that is the issue
[22:22] <JayneHJKL> ping is icmp
[22:22] <Tarap> here,  ping http://archive.canonical.com dont answer, and  ping http://archive.canonical.com answer ...
[22:22] <paulo____> Hello, i installed a kernel using this: http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/06/install-linux-kernel-3-14-5-ubuntu-14-04-linux-mint-17/
[22:22] <daftykins> Tarap: wheezy is ancient, are you sure that's what you have?
[22:22] <Tarap> (and  ping ftp://archive.canonical.com doesn't answer too) Thats what I doesn't understand
[22:23] <daftykins> paulo____: are you running Mint?
[22:23] <paulo____> but now I need the source code so I can recompile with debug.
[22:23] <Tarap> wheezy ? ancient ? Is it not the stable one ?
[22:23] <JayneHJKL> wheezy is current stable
[22:23] <paulo____> daftykins: no, i have 14.04
[22:23] <daftykins> oh sorry that's debian talk isn't it
[22:23] <Tarap> I'm back to freedom since a fex days, don't know what is new :)
[22:24] <Tarap> my issue is about the  Canonical Partner Repositories
[22:24] <k1l_> Tarap: for debian support see the debian support :)
[22:26] <Tarap> OK. asked here cause Canonical Partner Repositories is a Ubuntu things.
[22:26] <paulo____> any ideas how to get the source code?
[22:28] <ikonia> paulo____: apt-get source package
[22:29] <paulo____> ikonia: that doesn't work.
[22:29] <ikonia> paulo____: it does
[22:29] <daftykins> paulo____: share exactly the command you ran
[22:29] <ikonia> why are you following a mint guide ?
[22:30] <paulo____> the title is ""
[22:30] <paulo____> "Install Linux Kernel 3.14.5 in Ubuntu 14.04, Linux Mint 17 "
[22:30] <ikonia> ah it's for mint or ubuntu
[22:30] <ikonia> paulo____: why do you want to rebuild the kernel ?
[22:31] <ikonia> what is it you are trying to fix
[22:31] <paulo____> ikonia: i need to turn on debug flags.
[22:31] <ikonia> why ?
[22:31] <paulo____> i'm experimenting with a vulnerability
[22:31] <ikonia> surly a test would be against the official kernel
[22:31] <ikonia> then why are you using a kernel that is not part of ubuntu
[22:32] <ikonia> there are also debug symbol packages I thin k
[22:32] <ikonia> not sure about the PPA
[22:32] <k1l_> maybe that exact kernel version is not on the repo anymore
[22:32] <ikonia> I suspect it's not as it's the mainline ppa
[22:32] <ikonia> worth checking
[22:33] <paulo____> people i was talking to still here?
[22:33] <ikonia> paulo____: yes
[22:33] <TJ-> paulo____: : The source is the linux mainline, use git to clone the main linux repo and checkout the tag related to the mainline build you're installing, then apply the kernel team packaging patches on top
[22:33] <paulo____> ok. the link is: kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.5-utopic/
[22:34] <ikonia> paulo____: you need to have that PPA enabled in your system
[22:34] <rickylm> No luck
[22:35] <rickylm> The only way I can even boot the Ubuntu Is if I do Shift+restart to boot from the usb
[22:35] <rickylm> I take the usb out It shows nothing
[22:35] <rickylm> No way to get into ubuntu
[22:35] <k1l> rickylm: install grub into the MBR of the first diesk?
[22:35] <k1l> *disk
[22:36] <raspberrypifan> can anyone help me with an issue with a usb modem
[22:36] <rickylm> Should I still have to do that?
[22:37] <k1l> rickylm: dont know what went wrong on your install. but that sounds like you dont have  a grub
[22:37] <raspberrypifan> the usb modem causes my ubuntu vm to freeze
[22:37] <rickylm> k1l:  I followed this guide to the exact detail.
[22:37] <rickylm> http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html
[22:38] <rickylm> What doesnt make sense atleast not to me, if I do get the shift+restart and boot from the usb it boot my install from the hard drive
[22:38] <eeee> rickylm: what exactly are you talking about?
[22:39] <eeee> can you boot into your ubuntu installation?
[22:39] <eeee> (but you have to press certain keys to access grub every time?)
[22:39] <rickylm> eeee:  Dual booting Ubuntu/Windows 8.1
[22:39] <k1l> rickylm: so you did work part 7?
[22:40] <eeee> rickylm: ok, and are you able to boot into your ubuntu installation, but have to press certain keys every time ?
[22:41] <rickylm> eeee:  The only way I can get into the installation is to do Shift+restart WITH my usb plugged in, then it boots the install on the HDD. Without the USB it shows nothing related to ubuntu
[22:41] <rickylm> k1l: Yes I did part 7
[22:42] <eeee> rickylm: the bios might be hardcoded to boot the windows efi
[22:42] <rickylm> Now if I boot my pc and press f10 to go to my boot menu and boot the usb, it acts like ubuntu was never installed. Does that make any sense
[22:42] <eeee> i have the same issue, on an hp laptop.
[22:42] <rickylm> So im pretty much shit out of luck
[22:42] <rickylm> Like it works, then randomly at boot my Toshiba will diagnose and repair and the ubuntu is gone as far as I know
[22:43] <eeee> rickylm: you have to copy the grub .efi file and rename it to the windows .efi name
[22:43] <eeee> to trick the bios into booting grub
[22:43] <rickylm> Ahh
[22:43] <eeee> you'll find the files in /boot/efi
[22:44] <rickylm> Right, but I got to find Windows first. So I imagine I replace the Windows boot efi with the grub one, then tell grub 'Hey, this is where my ubuntu is and this is where my windows is'
[22:44] <eeee> the grub efi is grubx64.efi and/or shimx64.efi (depending whether or not you are using secure boot), the windows efi is called bootx64.efi
[22:44] <rickylm> I disabled secure, so it would be grubx64.efi
[22:45] <eeee> i think all you have to do is replace the bootx64.efi with the grubx64.efi
[22:45] <eeee> (renaming grubx64.efi to bootx64.efi of course)
[22:46] <eeee> (and copying it to the bootx64.efi directory)
[22:46] <digitalrao> what sup
[22:46] <digitalrao> how is everyone?
[22:46] <eeee> just make backups and see how it goes
[22:46] <rickylm> Any idea where bootx64.efi is? I am currently in Windows 8.1 right now.
[22:46] <eeee> it's in /boot/efi/efi/boot
[22:47] <rickylm> So once I replace, I need to edit the grub file and tell it where my windows installation is also, right?
[22:47] <eeee> grub already should know
[22:47] <digitalrao> if you buy Dell are open system and lonovo/IBM
[22:47] <rickylm> So I am assuming I need to hop on over to Ubuntu
[22:47] <rickylm> ?
[22:47] <digitalrao> ya it is free lol
[22:47] <eeee> when you get the grub menu to boot ubuntu, windows should be at the bottom
[22:47] <digitalrao> u can do dual boot it
[22:48] <digitalrao> if upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro u can do VM's
[22:48] <digitalrao> for free
[22:48] <digitalrao> Hyperloop or Hyperscale , Hypernode
[22:48] <digitalrao> whatever it is called on microsoft
[22:48] <rickylm> Hyper-V ?
[22:48] <digitalrao> ya hyper V
[22:48] <digitalrao> is free
[22:49] <digitalrao> on Windows 8.0-8.1 Pro
[22:49] <digitalrao> windows 8.1.1 is coming out
[22:49] <digitalrao> since Microsoft partner bought Novell/SUSE
[22:49] <paulo____> service packs were better
[22:50] <digitalrao> Microsoft does Open Source is better
[22:50] <digitalrao> codeplex.org
[22:50] <rickylm> Booting Ubuntu brb..
[22:50] <digitalrao> k
[22:58] <murat> sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install
[22:58] <paulo____> hello
[22:58] <paulo____> i gave up finding the sources to the kernel,
[22:58] <paulo____> so now i'm trying this. I'm downloading a linus source
[22:58] <TJ-> paulo____: I told you earlier :)
[22:59] <paulo____> then i just apply the patches here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.5-utopic/
[22:59] <paulo____> right?
[22:59] <TJ-> paulo____: : The source is the linux mainline, use git to clone the main linux repo and checkout the tag related to the mainline build you're installing, then apply the kernel team packaging patches on top
[22:59] <murat> sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install
[22:59] <xangua> paulo____: as you were told before, those prepackaged linux .deb have no ubuntu patches
[22:59] <murat> does not work
[23:00] <paulo____> xangua: but the download link has .patch files beside it
[23:00] <murat> how to install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[23:00] <TJ-> xangua: They do have the Debian/Ubuntu build patches, which are necessary to build the .debs from a modified source
[23:01] <xangua> murat: sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[23:01] <paulo____> and I installed it on ubuntu, so they should have the patches
[23:02] <murat> plugin installation is showing
[23:03] <murat> but install flash on the page says
[23:04] <hackal_> hello, I am installing teamspeak 3 server. Should I use screen to keep it running or should I create a service.
[23:06] <rickylm> eeee:  Ok I located bootx64.efi and grubx64.efi
[23:06] <eeee> great
[23:07] <rickylm> Now, I need to take grubx64.efi and overwrite onto bootx64.efi
[23:07] <rickylm> Correct?
[23:07] <rickylm> I need to make backups first though.
[23:08] <coventry> On 12.04, I tried to install the CUDA drvers using the nvidia .deb package and "apt-get install cuda."  It hangs during update-initramfs.  How can I remove the cuda package?  When I try "apt-get remove cuda", it just runs update-initramfs again, trying to complete the install...
[23:08] <eeee> yes, correct, and yes make backups
[23:08] <rickylm> Would I need to mount the boot portion first to over write or will it allow it? I am new to Ubuntu as you can tell
[23:08] <eeee> it should already be mounted in ubuntu
[23:09] <rickylm> So grab should pick up my windows installation once this is done right
[23:09] <rickylm> I just need a reboot after over-writing ?
[23:09] <Ciao> Ciao
[23:10] <eeee> when you booted into ubuntu via grub, did you see windows at the bottom?
[23:10] <eeee> type cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep windows
[23:11] <eeee> in a terminal and see if you get something
[23:11] <rickylm> eeee: cat: /boot/grub/grub.cfg: No such file or directory
[23:12] <eeee> huh
[23:12] <eeee> what's in your /boot directory?
[23:13] <rickylm> I have
[23:13] <rickylm> EFI and grub
[23:13] <eeee> ok what's in grub
[23:13] <rickylm> grubenv
[23:13] <eeee> no grub.cfg ?
[23:13] <rickylm> Negative.
[23:14] <eeee> are you in the livecd or the installation ?
[23:14] <rickylm> Right now Live
[23:14] <SamwiseGamgee> I have two optical drives, one external and one internal, and none of them work with my HP dx5150 SFF desktop PC.
[23:14] <eeee> oh
[23:14] <SamwiseGamgee> Can you guys help me?
[23:15] <eeee> i thought you could boot into your installation if you pressed certain keys though?
[23:15] <rickylm> I was able to get into the installation earlier but for some reason I cant now
[23:15] <SamwiseGamgee> My internal optical drive is an old HP Model S0HD_16P9S.  It is a DRV DVD ROM 16X, and it has always been problematic, because I can only get it to read text and picture files and execute installation related programs.  The jumper is set on Cable Select.
[23:15] <rickylm> The shift+restart then selecting Ubuntu worked, now it just shows my usb drive and asks if I want to install or run live
[23:15] <SamwiseGamgee> As far as playing audio and video, it has a very unreliable history.
[23:16] <eeee> rickylm: you did get a grub menu before though right ?
[23:16] <eeee> rickylm: you could mount the /boot/efi partition and modify it
[23:16] <rickylm> Yes if I booted into windows, did Shift+ click restart and selected the ubuntu installation
[23:17] <rickylm> But like I said earlier, it would only show the installed portion on my HDD if I had the usb in which confuses me.
[23:17] <eeee> you need these commands: lsblk, to list the partitions, and mount /dev/sdxY /mnt-directory-here, to mount them
[23:17] <paulo____> is it actually possible to do "sudo rm -rf /"?
[23:17] <rickylm> ├─sda2    8:2    0   100M  0 part /boot/efi
[23:18] <eeee> ok it isn't mounted
[23:18] <eeee> i mean it is?
[23:19] <sfsytcy> well i tried to install Lubuntu using wubi and after installation completed  get to reboot i got " Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /  ???!
[23:19] <vladashram> Anybody familiar with getting Ubuntu to boot on a Mac using its native efi menu?
[23:19] <rickylm> eeee:  Im new to this man haha
[23:19] <sfsytcy> ???help
[23:20] <rickylm> mount /dev/sda2 /mount but its already mounted?
[23:20] <sfsytcy> any idea how to fix that ?
[23:20] <rickylm> err boot
[23:21] <eeee> try sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[23:21] <sfsytcy> ???
[23:21] <rickylm> Done
[23:21] <eeee> ok cd to /mnt/boot/grub
[23:21] <eeee> see what's there
 me ?
[23:22] <eeee> sfsytcy: no
[23:22] <rickylm> bash: cd: mnt/boot/grub: No such file or directory
[23:23] <eeee> type cd /mnt/boot/grub
[23:23] <eeee> with the starting "/"
[23:23] <rickylm> bash: cd: /mnt/boot/grub: No such file or directory
[23:23] <eeee> cd /mnt then and see whats there
[23:24] <rickylm> EFI
[23:24] <eeee> ok and in EFI ?
[23:24] <rickylm> ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt$ cd efi ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt/efi$ dir Boot  Microsoft  refind  tools	Toshiba  ubuntu
[23:24] <rickylm> 'Boot  Microsoft  refind  tools Toshiba  ubuntu'
[23:25] <eeee> rickylm: ok those are the files you need to switch
[23:26] <eeee> the grubx64.efi are in ubuntu, and in microsoft you'll find the bootx64.efi
[23:26] <eeee> sorry i mean in boot you'll find the bootx64.efi
[23:26] <eeee> rickylm: i just remembered something,
[23:26] <eeee> we have to mount "/" from the installation to check if grub found windows
[23:27] <eeee> do lsblk, and do sudo mount /dev/sdxY /mnt
[23:27] <eeee> for the main ubuntu installation
[23:28] <rickylm> mount: special device /dev/sdxY does not exist
[23:28] <rickylm> Or with sdxy did I need to select where the main installation is?
[23:28] <eeee> yes
[23:29] <rickylm> Ok so I did lsblk
[23:29] <rickylm> Which one would I be looking to mount, I have system and
[23:29] <rickylm> ├─sda8    8:8    0  18.6G  0 part /media/ubuntu/3cdda7eb-8c73-47f3-b5c6-90ec87c2 and └─sda10   8:10   0  22.8G  0 part /media/ubuntu/383270a0-0126-4bf8-95a0-8f411f38
[23:30] <eeee> run sudo parted -l /dev/sda
[23:30] <eeee> it should be the huge ext4 partition
[23:30] <rickylm>  8      309GB   329GB   20.0GB  ext4
[23:30] <rickylm> 10      337GB   362GB   24.4GB  ext4
[23:31] <eeee> ok im guessing one is /home one is / ?
[23:31] <rickylm> Right.
[23:32] <smashash> can someone tell me if using full disk encryption in ubuntu 14.04 will cause any significant performance hit on a core 2 duo/2 gigs ram/mechanical sata hdd
[23:32] <rickylm> I want to say 8 is /
[23:33] <eeee> rickylm: i think they are already mounted
[23:33] <eeee> cd /media/ubuntu
[23:33] <rickylm> 383270a0-0126-4bf8-95a0-8f411f38ae5d  3cdda7eb-8c73-47f3-b5c6-90ec87c21c6d  New\ Volume  System  TI10672100G
[23:34] <eeee> check which one is "/"
[23:34] <smashash> anyone?
[23:35] <eeee> fsck can check file systems for damage
[23:35] <eeee> !fsck
[23:35] <eeee> smashash: fsck
[23:35] <rickylm> sda8 is
[23:36] <smashash> eeee, I dont get it
[23:36] <eeee> smashash: use a livecd and run fsck i guess
[23:36] <rickylm> 3cdda7eb-8c73-47f3-b5c6-90ec87c21c6d/SDA8 contained boot and all of that, while the other contained the Folder 'Ricky' and below that Desktop,etc .
[23:36] <smashash> eeee erm my question was about performance :P
[23:36] <rickylm> sudo mount /dev/sda8 /mnt
[23:36] <rickylm> Right?
[23:37] <smashash> as in how much of a performance loss would it cause to use full disk encryption on that hardware
[23:37] <rickylm> Nevermind, they are already mounted.
[23:37] <eeee> smashash: sorry i thought you were someone else who asked another question earlier :D
[23:38] <eeee> rickylm: yes i told you, in /media/ubuntu
[23:38] <smashash> eeee haha I thought so, np ;)
[23:39] <rickylm> Now what? eeee
[23:40] <eeee> check in the boot directory for grub
[23:40] <eeee> and then grub.cfg
[23:40] <rickylm> Ok I cd boot, then cd grub and grub.cfg exists
[23:41] <eeee> ok type cat grub.cfg | grep windows
[23:41] <eeee> see if anything shows up
[23:42] <rickylm> 'menuentry 'Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/sda2)' --class windows --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-efi-3A6E-F071' {'
[23:42] <eeee> ok great, so grub has your windows installation
[23:42] <eeee> just switch and rename the files
[23:42] <eeee> (back them up first)
[23:42] <rickylm> And a reboot and I should be fine
[23:42] <eeee> and also rename a file called bootmgrfw.efi in the microsoft directory
[23:43] <eeee> just rename it to backupbootmgrfw.efi (dont put grub in its place)
[23:43] <eeee> i dont know if it's necessary but it won't harm
[23:43] <eeee> i guess
[23:44] <rickylm> So I try to rename bootx64.efi in '/boot/efi/EFI/Boot' and it wont let me
[23:44] <eeee> yeah you need root
[23:44] <rickylm> So do it from the term
[23:44] <eeee> sudo mv bootx64.efi bootx64.efi.backup
[23:47] <eeee> you can use nautilus, gksu nautilus /media/ubuntu
[23:47] <rickylm> sudo mv /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot
[23:47] <rickylm> ?
[23:48] <eeee> yeah
[23:48] <eeee> you can directly right it's name btw
[23:48] <paulo____> tsk. it turns out the kernel was compiled with debug symbol
[23:48] <paulo____> *symbols
[23:48] <eeee> sudo mv /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[23:48] <eeee> *right = write
[23:51] <eeee> sorry do a sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi

[23:55] <coventry> Oops. :-)
[23:56] <rickylm> eeee:  Thats it?
[23:56] <rickylm> You said something about bootmgr
[23:57] <eeee> yeah in the microsoft folder there should be bootmgrfw.efi
[23:57] <eeee> just rename it to bootmgrfw.efi.backup
[23:57] <eeee> or backupbootmgrfw.efi
[23:58] <rickylm> I also have that same file in the Toshiba folder, but I am assuming thats for recovery purposes
[23:59] <eeee> yeah i guess so
