[18:22] <daftykins> i tend to create a web site management group, then add my user and www-data to it
[18:22] <BZWingZero> I'm using nginx. I have a user account with full access to the folder.
[18:22] <daftykins> right but you can't really have your user own the path and nginx run as a different user
[18:23] <daftykins> so i do the above then have the doc root owned by www-data:mygroup
[18:24] <daftykins> BZWingZero: just as an example this is the config i have for someone - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10852300/
[18:25] <daftykins> i make use of the Windows user accounts on the clients to auth directly with the samba host, i create the users then set their smb passwords with smbpasswd
[18:25] <BZWingZero> I suspect its a user account issue, and not actually a samba.conf issue. And I know next to nothing about linux user accounts
[18:27] <daftykins> righty-o, well first step you'll want to disconnect the mapped drive on your Windows host, then run "control userpasswords2" and check the advanced tab -> manage passwords for any stored passes for that host. Probably nothing there though since guest is in use
[18:27] <BZWingZero> The windows network drive mapping is dead
[18:29] <_jay> issues on upgrade 12.04-14.04- currently I have no desktop icons. They start to load, but is seems like it crashes when generating jgeg or pdf previews? Folder icons are there already at first login.
[18:31] <daftykins> BZWingZero: as in removed?
[18:32] <BZWingZero> yes. The windows computer has no trace of the mapped share.
[18:33] <wafflejock> BZWingZero, regular linux user accounts aren't really very complicated, /etc/passwd has all the users and their login shell, /etc/group has the group listings, you can use the "groups" command to see groups for the logged in user or "groups username" to see groups for a particular user... so a user can be in many groups, each path (file/directory) has two parts to the ownership the user and the group, then it has the permissions
[18:33] <wafflejock>  which control read/write/execute for the paths user, group, and anyone else (other)
[18:33] <BZWingZero> wafflejock, so a lot less granualr than windows accounts.
[18:33] <wafflejock> BZWingZero, unless you install some access control list (ACL) stuff it's really a little less sophisticated than windows permissions
[18:34] <wafflejock> but I'm not really privvy to the samba problems, I do use VirtualBox for running dev environments but I just use the virtual box shared folder settings and it's linux in linux
[18:34] <daftykins> BZWingZero: so right now does your Linux user match your Windows username?
[18:35] <BZWingZero> daftykins, at the moment yes. I can create a new account on either if needed.
[18:35] <daftykins> nah that's ideal
[18:35] <daftykins> BZWingZero: run "sudo smbpasswd -a <username>" to create a password for SMB usage, make it the same as your Windows login password
[18:36] <BZWingZero> done
[18:37] <wafflejock> _jay, would suggest trying to boot with nomodeset in your boot parameters, do you have grub show up on boot?
[18:37] <_jay> yes
[18:38] <wafflejock> _jay, might be a problem with your graphics driver nomodeset will fall back to the vesa (default generic) drivers
[18:38] <daftykins> BZWingZero: try changing your smb.conf share to this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10852382/
[18:38] <wafflejock> _jay, you can hit "e" at grub to edit the boot config, where you see quiet or nosplash add in nomodeset
[18:38] <daftykins> BZWingZero: "sudo service smbd restart" and "sudo service nmbd restart" after the file edit
[18:38] <BZWingZero> of course. one moment
[18:39] <_jay> Do you think using one of the older drivers in the additional software panels could work? There are 4 choices
[18:39] <wafflejock> _jay, yeah that's an option if you're able to navigate the GUI, worth a shot at least
[18:39] <_jay> OK I'll look there, thanks
[18:39] <daftykins> _jay: what's your graphics hardware?
[18:39] <wafflejock> _jay, can try to grep dmesg as well for errors see if you can get more insight
[18:40] <_jay> also, I had MATE on 12.04, it is installed but is not an option at login
[18:40] <_jay> I have 2 gnomes, compix and metacity, and ubuntu
[18:40] <_jay> *compiz
[18:40] <wafflejock> _jay, hmm regarding MATE can redo the install with sudo apt-get install packagename --reinstall
[18:40] <_jay> nvidia 9600GT
[18:41] <BZWingZero> daftykins, samba config updated and services restarted
[18:41] <_jay> my card is probably 5 years old..
[18:41] <_jay> actually more like 6-7
[18:41] <daftykins> BZWingZero: ok, give Windows a restart to make sure it forgets about the previous share usage
[18:41] <wafflejock> _jay, yeah I remember when that was a good card :)
[18:42] <daftykins> it never was XD
[18:42] <dude> yo, wasup>?
[18:42] <_jay> haha, yes this was intended to be a 3d graphics machine :)

[18:43] <_jay> well a cheap one anyway :P
[18:43] <Guest88278> System.out.println("haha");
[18:43] <daftykins> _jay: nvidia-304 probably is plenty for that then... i'm not 100% sure on if that model is supported by that version mind you
[18:43] <BZWingZero> daftykins, its forgotten. Windows admin is part of my day job. Just trying to learn linux as well
[18:43] <_jay> ok
[18:43] <BZWingZero> (all traces of share nuked from orbit with vengance)
[18:44] <daftykins> BZWingZero: as is mine :) ok but it might go screwy carrying on without a reboot. try mapping the drive share again, at which point it should just pop up auto as it'll use the user's credentials auto
[18:44] <daftykins> BZWingZero: then create a file of any kind in there if it works and show me an "ls -al /path" to see what it does
[18:45] <BZWingZero> daftykins, upon mapping the share it prompts for a password, with the <username>@<linuxhost>. I put in the pw for that user and it fails.
[18:45] <daftykins> that's not how you state a username for samba
[18:46] <BZWingZero> nope, its how you'd state it if you were sshing in
[18:46] <daftykins> and it definitely should have come up auto if the usernames and passwords match
[18:46] <_jay> how does one restart the desktop these days? killall nautilus doesn't work
[18:46] <daftykins> nautilus is a file manager, lol
[18:46] <daftykins> _jay: "sudo service lightdm restart"
[18:47] <_jay> Thanks, the help is appreciated :)
[18:47] <daftykins> BZWingZero: can you go ahead with the pastebin of ls -al /path ? could be your permissions are wrong
[18:48] <OerHeks> _jay why do you want to restart? not needed for that nvidia driver
[18:48] <_jay> I thought I'd need to after it installed it..
[18:48] <BZWingZero> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10852445/
[18:49] <_jay> also just for future reference, seems like occasionally one needs to restart the desktop
[18:49] <daftykins> BZWingZero: eh, mapped fine now?
[18:50] <BZWingZero> it worked when I did <username>@<windowsPCname> with the appropriate password
[18:50] <daftykins> hmm, only ever seen hostname\username before on Windows :> no @ usage. oh well
[18:51] <thewhitetulip> I never understood why Ubuntu has a six month dev cycle
[18:51] <thewhitetulip> could anyone explain it?
[18:51] <daftykins> alright so that confirms the 770 you mentioned
[18:51] <daftykins> thewhitetulip: who cares, stick to LTS and it doesn't matter.
[18:51] <thewhitetulip> actually it does
[18:52] <daftykins> thewhitetulip: and why is that, in your opinion? :)
[18:52] <thewhitetulip> I feel time should be taken
[18:53] <thewhitetulip> there is no hurry to release a new version when nobody is going to use it
[18:53] <thewhitetulip> :D
[18:53] <thewhitetulip> and since everyone will wait for the LTS which is also going to be buggy
[18:53] <daftykins> thewhitetulip: alright well this is a support channel only, so you're welcome to talk policy in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:53] <BZWingZero> thewhitetulip, some companies use feature-based releases, some use time-based releases.
[18:53] <BZWingZero> ubuntu uses the latter
[18:53] <thewhitetulip> I remember the days when I used to use 12.04
[18:53] <thewhitetulip> it was super buggy even the LTS version
[18:53]  * BZWingZero has a hoary hedgehog disk floating around somewhere
[18:54] <daftykins> less chat please guys, wrong channel for it
[18:54] <thewhitetulip> :D
[18:54] <thewhitetulip> I got here by accident btw
[18:54] <thewhitetulip> have a nice day/night all of you
[18:55] <BZWingZero> daftykins, an now you know why this is stumping me
[18:55] <daftykins> BZWingZero: as it happens i have to work on a very similar setup for this this week, so we could well be on the same page
[18:57] <daftykins> BZWingZero: why do you want 'world' to be read?
[18:57] <BZWingZero> so the web server can read it.
[18:57] <daftykins> ah, that is not how you do it
[18:57] <daftykins> what user is nginx running as?
[18:58] <BZWingZero> daftykins, I'm not sure. How would I check?
[18:58] <BZWingZero> nvm, google search returned a command, looks like its running under www-data
[18:59] <daftykins> ps -ef | grep nginx
[18:59] <daftykins> excellent same user as apache then
[18:59] <daftykins> ok lets see where i've got my notebook
[18:59] <_jay> Thanks again, looks like switching gfx drivers worked!
[19:00] <Guest47012> Where am i
[19:00] <ObrienDave> in front of your computer, hopefully ;P
[19:00] <ioria> tigerland
[19:01] <daftykins> BZWingZero: so lets create a group for your user and www-data to be members of, lets say something simple like 'share' - "sudo addgroup share"
[19:01] <BZWingZero> group created
[19:01] <daftykins> BZWingZero: then we'll add www-data and you to it with "sudo adduser <user> share"
[19:02] <BZWingZero> both users have been added to the group
[19:02] <Guest47012> Indeed, thanks ObrienDave. First time in a chat, sorry, didn't know, that this was posted
[19:02] <ObrienDave> there are no secrets in IRC ;P
[19:02] <anew> where is 'mailbox'
[19:02] <daftykins> BZWingZero: now change your document root to reflect these by running "sudo chown -R www-data:share /path/to/doc/root"
[19:03] <anew> i'm running a cron and checking syslog, it' snot working and saying the messages are being sent "to mailbox" where is this
[19:03] <Guest47012> So you can see me? :O
[19:03] <BZWingZero> Guest47012, we can see what you enter into the chat.
[19:03] <BZWingZero> daftykins, done
[19:04] <darius93> anyone know how to make the kickstart format the whole partition without setting a specific size or could i omit the --size?
[19:04] <anew> please anyone
[19:04] <daftykins> BZWingZero: so nginx should stay working fine whilst you can also copy data in, you might have to change your smb config to have the line "force group = share"
[19:04] <ObrienDave> !patience | anew
[19:06] <BZWingZero> daftykins, added force group = share to my smbconf and reloaded the services. remapped the share, created a new file... no change to permissions
[19:06] <Eightynine> Hi. I have the latest version of Firefox and tearing when scrolling pages. Player is blinking on YouTube and when I click "Show all answers" in comments, the page is reloading. How to fix this?
[19:07] <BZWingZero> daftykins, still being created as 770
[19:07] <BZWingZero> daftykins, however, folders are created correctly.
[19:08] <daftykins> yeah but you no longer need 'world' to be anything
[19:08] <daftykins> because nginx isn't world, but a valid user both an owner and group member on the path :)
[19:08] <ObrienDave> anew, please wait 10 to 15 minutes before repeating your question. thanks
[19:09] <Nokaji> I strongly suspect/know parts of my Ubuntu are broken, e.g. nautilus and perhaps some aspect relating to popping up windows on focus or similar - how do I test fix all of this, please?
[19:09] <daftykins> Nokaji: try the guest session
[19:10] <Nokaji> what is that daftykins?
[19:10] <BZWingZero> daftykins, created a new test.html (770 permissions), get a 403 forbidden when trying to load. Manually set them to 774 and it loads fine
[19:10] <daftykins> BZWingZero: show me an ls -al of the path for that file?
[19:11] <daftykins> Nokaji: it's a guest user account, so not your user... good way to test if it's your install at fault or just your user configuration gone funny
[19:13] <BZWingZero> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10852577/
[19:13] <Guest47012> I thought this is a beginner's chat for ubuntu, but you are cracks. Can someone lead me to a beginner's chat?
[19:14] <Nokaji> daftykins: Oh, I get yer. I fixed some of nautilus so i know there was an issue, e.g. couldn't resize fonts until i re-installed it
[19:14] <daftykins> BZWingZero: may need to restart nginx to reflect the update
[19:14] <EriC^^> Guest47012: what's a crack?
[19:14] <bodo_> guys how can i format a usb stick in terminal?
[19:14] <BZWingZero> daftykins, restarted nginx and still forbidden
[19:14] <OerHeks> EriC^^, proffesionals
[19:15] <EriC^^> OerHeks: oh i see
[19:15] <daftykins> BZWingZero: you're 100% nginx runs as www-data ?
[19:15] <daftykins> apache2 was way easier than this XD
[19:15] <Guest47012> Sorry, this was german. I mean specialists
[19:16] <ReGiStRaS> hi guys...When I SSH to Ubuntu 14.04, after I key in the correct password, it takes quite long to responbd back. The SSH client is on the same network segment as Ubuntu...
[19:16] <BZWingZero> daftykins, nginx has 5 processes, master process is root, the other 4 worker processses are www-data
[19:16] <ReGiStRaS> no firewall or IPS in-between
[19:16] <Bashing-om> Guest47012: This is support, and we try and meet you at your level .
[19:17] <ReGiStRaS> I have tried restarting the SSH service and restarting Ubuntu
[19:17] <BZWingZero> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10852604/
[19:18] <ReGiStRaS> hi guys...When I SSH to Ubuntu 14.04, after I key in the correct password, it takes quite long to responbd back. The SSH client is on the same network segment as Ubuntu...no firewall or IPS in-between. I have tried restarting the SSH service and restarting Ubuntu but is still the same.
[19:18] <daftykins> BZWingZero: from the ls -al of your document root, can you give me the line for "." at the top? or just PM me a paste of the whole ls -al /path listing
[19:18] <daftykins> assuming you want it kept private hence only sharing single lines
[19:18] <daftykins> ReGiStRaS: how long are we talking?
[19:18] <bekks> ReGiStRaS: Check the ssh server wether it is configured for ReverseDNS resolving.
[19:19] <ReGiStRaS> about 20+ secs
[19:19] <Guest48291> localhost/6668
[19:19] <EriC^^> Guest47012: not everyone is pro here (i know im not) and everybody is helpful nevertheless, ask your question and if somebody knows they'll help
[19:19] <ReGiStRaS> I have input the UseDNS no statement in sshd..config already
[19:19] <BZWingZero> daftykins, check your PM
[19:20] <daftykins> BZWingZero: yep thanks, hmm can you restart the ubuntu host just for fun? makes zero sense but just wanna try it
[19:21] <daftykins> nothing there looks wrong to me
[19:21] <BZWingZero> its rebooting
[19:21] <daftykins> must be an nginx quirk
[19:21] <ReGiStRaS> anyone please?
[19:21] <Guest47012> I don't know how to use irc. Is there a manual?
[19:22] <BZWingZero> Guest47012, ever used a chatroom? IRC is just a chatroom
[19:22] <EriC^^> Guest47012: it depends on your client, basic stuff is /join #channel, /part and /query <nick> to msg
[19:22] <BZWingZero> daftykins, rebooted successfully.
[19:23] <OerHeks> Guest47012, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines for a start
[19:23] <EriC^^> Guest47012: also if you type a person's nick and press <tab> it will autocomplete the nick, it's pretty useful
[19:23] <vonsyd0w> ReGiStRaS, try disabling GSSAPI Auth
[19:24] <BZWingZero> daftykins, hmmm, strange. the files created in the share (and therefore username bzwingzero) are not accessable via nginx.
[19:24] <BZWingZero> chown to www-data makes them accessable
[19:25] <daftykins> hmm, run "groups www-data" ?
[19:25] <BZWingZero> www-data share
[19:25] <nashant> Hey, anyone know if it's possible to scale any desktop? So I can effectively increase the resolution so I can fit more on screen
[19:25] <EriC^^> nashant: you can set custom resolutions with xrandr
[19:25] <daftykins> nashant: you mean run a higher resolution than the display is capable of? you can do that with panning i think
 Thanks
[19:26] <daftykins> BZWingZero: mmm, getting pretty close then
[19:27] <BZWingZero> If I could just map the share as www-data@linuxHost instead of my windows user, wouldn't that work?
[19:27] <daftykins> that's one way yep
[19:27] <BZWingZero> however I'd need www-data's password
[19:29] <nashant> EriC^^, daftykins: the actual resolution isn't what I'm after. I'm accessing a VM on my server via ThinLinc using an RPi thin client, but ThinLinc doesn't seem to have any option for screen scaling
[19:29] <daftykins> BZWingZero: or to set it. mmm ok on my own little web server mine are created with world read but are owned by user:user so that might be why things still work for me
[19:31] <EriC^^> nashant: try xrandr --output <output> --scale 0.75x0.75
[19:31] <EriC^^> get the output from xrandr -q
[19:32] <nashant> Eric^^: max 1920x1200, current 1920x1051
[19:33] <EriC^^> was that after the scale command?
[19:33] <nashant> oh, sorry, hold on
[19:33] <EriC^^> the output is the name before connected ...
[19:33] <EriC^^> LVDS1 connected on ...
[19:33] <nashant> VNC-0 for me
[19:34] <nashant> Ok, I got...
[19:34] <nashant> X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
[19:35] <nashant> And a couple of Major opcode faileds.
[19:35] <BZWingZero> daftykins, successfully mapped on windows using www-data account. Created new test file and it loads without permissions fighting
[19:35] <BZWingZero> success!
[19:36] <EriC^^> nashant: i think it's cause the 1920 can't go any higher
[19:36] <EriC^^> try it with --scale 1x0.75
[19:36] <nashant> EriC^^: I think I can fix this
[19:36] <daftykins> BZWingZero: winner \o/
[19:36] <fancyfetus> Hey guys
[19:36] <azizLIGHT> how do i run a script without it dying when i exit the terminal
[19:36] <nashant> It gave errors, but it scaled fine
[19:37] <EriC^^> azizLIGHT: ./script.sh & disown
[19:37] <daftykins> azizLIGHT: run it in a 'screen' session
[19:37] <fancyfetus> I've been using osx on my macbook pro for far too long now... I've been wanting to switch to ubuntu on it for a while, but the lack of gesture support has been discouraging me/
[19:37] <nashant> So I'm gonna set a custom resolution and then scale. Score!
[19:37] <azizLIGHT> i like your option better EriC^^
[19:37] <azizLIGHT> thanks
[19:37] <EriC^^> np
[19:37] <Guest47012> How can I change to the chatroom #ubuntu-de?
[19:38] <fancyfetus> I don't know how to make the trackpad behave like it's multitouch
[19:38] <daftykins> "/join #channel"
[19:38] <EriC^^> Guest47012: /join #ubuntu-de
[19:38] <geirha> If you exit the shell instead of the terminal, it gets automatically disowned
[19:38] <ObrienDave> Guest47012, ^^^
[19:38] <daftykins> fancyfetus: yeah doesn't seem like running ubuntu is too easy on macs most of the time. it's more of an experiment, you checked the wiki pages for your model though i take it?
[19:38] <EriC^^> geirha: yeah, it's click proof with disown though
[19:38] <Guest47012> Thanks, EriC^^
[19:39] <fancyfetus> daftykins. yes sir, and they do have instructions. But they don't seem to address the trackpad issue.
[19:39] <daftykins> fancyfetus: and nothing online?
[19:39] <fancyfetus> I'll keep looking
[19:40] <daftykins> fancyfetus: i've got this ancient macbook that you can't even use finger tips on the touchpad with XD you have to lay down a whole finger segment for it to move
[19:41] <fancyfetus> dafty, actually I think I found something! Time to reinstall ubuntu :P
[19:41] <awal> Is there any bot here like dpkg and judd in debian channels?
[19:41] <fancyfetus> Honestly, I'd be fine running OS X on it, It's actually not nearly as bad as people say. it's just slow as FUCK.
[19:41] <EriC^^> awal: yeah, ubottu
[19:42] <awal> Eric^^: ok, thanks
[19:42] <daftykins> fancyfetus: language please. slow? how old a model? SSD \o/
[19:43] <fancyfetus> Newest model, 256GB SSD.  (I'm rooning kde)
[19:59] <LordWillO> hi all, im trying to find the authorized_keys file for ssh, but google isn't helping me here.. where would it be located at? Do I have to explicitly create it?

[19:59] <YouCantGetRidOfM> sup bitches

[20:01] <genii> @comment 67351 Known troll
[20:01] <deadmund> OerHeks: I gave a link to the script?
[20:01] <OerHeks> deadmund, sorry, missed that line
[20:02] <EriC^^> deadmund: try the upower line alone and see what you get
[20:03] <EriC^^> *command
[20:04] <racho> deadmund, grep time returns nothing
[20:04] <racho> deadmund, either grep percentage or state
[20:04] <EriC^^> racho: same here, it's cause the laptop is still plugged in
[20:05] <EriC^^> i think the problem is that it returns 2 columns, like "2 hours" and notify-send is getting confused
[20:06] <EriC^^> try just notify-send <something> "$tmp"
[20:07] <deadmund> EriC^^: That fixed it.  Thank you!
[20:23] <tijnix> Hi, is there a specific channel for Ubuntu on mac's?
[20:23] <daftykins> nope don't think so
[20:24] <tijnix> Running 15.04 on my mb pro now and pretty stoked, even it has some quirks
[20:24] <daftykins> it's not released yet so vivid talk in #ubuntu+1 regardless please
[20:24] <tijnix> check!
[20:31] <infinitesum> So I got Python 3.3.6 to build on trusty/64 using pyenv… However I still need to get the equivalent of python3-dev working so that I can compile the stuff in my requirements.txt file… Any advice?

[20:37] <daftykins> hellboyCL: support channel for the Ubuntu OS
[20:37] <windows> hi I installed ubuntu on my machine to dual boot it with ubuntu. When prompted, I asked to resize my windows partition. It bugged out, crashed ubiquity, but then I tried it again, and ubuntu installed. However, I can no longer boot up windows, except into the recovery mode. Im staring at a dos prompt, any ideas?
[20:38] <EriC^^> windows: you might need to run the recovery if grub is booting the right partition
[20:38] <daftykins> no modern version of Windows boots to DOS...
[20:39] <hellboyCL> one question!. I use ubuntu and in my pc I have 3 GB RAM but in free -m I can only see 1.7 GB RAM totally. What happend?
[20:39] <windows> It tried to windows 8, it gave me a bunch of options, and dos prompt is the only one that worked
[20:39] <EriC^^> !linuxatemyram
[20:39] <EriC^^> !ram | hellboyCL
[20:40] <daftykins> windows: to fix Windows you'll have to go to ##windows really.
[20:40] <windows> I don't have any restore points
[20:40] <windows> okay.
[20:40] <hellboyCL> ok, thanks you.
[20:41] <EriC^^> windows: can you type sudo parted -l && grep -A20 Windows /boot/grub/grub.cfg and paste in paste.ubuntu.com
[20:41] <hellboyCL> I read this page, so is normall! :(.
[20:46] <amazigh> slt ! je parle à un programme ou des personnes réelles
[20:46] <EriC^^> !fr | amazigh
[20:46] <nadrosima> hello friends
[20:47] <amazigh> I speek english
[20:47] <tijnix> nice
[20:48] <Mscc> how can i understand my ubuntu hacked ?
[20:49] <OerHeks> Mscc, what makes you think your ubuntu is hacked?
[20:50] <Mscc> low speed OerHeks
[20:51] <OerHeks> Mscc, sounds more low specs of your machine, what type of cpu and ram do you have?
[20:51] <tijnix> Define your low speed?
[20:52] <Mscc> OerHeks : ram : 1.5 , cpu intel Pentium
[20:52] <OerHeks> Mscc,  maybe a lightweight ubuntu version like Xubuntu or Lubuntu is better for your machine
[20:53] <OerHeks> * if that intel is a single core
[20:53] <_pg_> I have an encrypted home directory on Ubuntu server, and transmission-daemon (running under its default user debian-transmission cannot write to it). How can I let the transmission user and thus transmission have write/read access to my encrypted /home?
[20:53] <Mscc> yes alright OerHeks
[20:57] <_pg_> on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[20:57] <nadrosima> _pg_:  if want other user an home dir, need give permition to which user !
[20:58] <nadrosima> _pg_:  but remember cant read owner files cos owner hash is different
[20:58] <_pg_> nadrosima: I don't want another home directory. TM runs under its own user, (debian-transmission) and that user does not have its own home directory. I want it to be able to write to my $USER directory.
[20:59] <_pg_> do all processes need to run as root or as $USER to have write access to an encrypted $USER home folder?
[20:59] <nadrosima> _pg_:  if you are noot root cant write, but maybe user chown files to you
[20:59] <nadrosima> _pg_:  files or dir whatever
[20:59] <OerHeks> As $user, yes
[21:00] <_pg_> nadrosima: I have tried adding the tm user to $USER group, giving tm user all group and user perms for download dir, still cannot write to that directory. furthermore tm user can write to any directory outside of /home without issue
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: add the user of the service to your username'd group. May help
[21:01] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: like this? $ sudo usermod --append -G debian-transmission $USER
[21:01] <_pg_> already tried that
[21:02] <nadrosima> _pg_:  additional info : if a file not owned yours. (maybe you are root) you cant del rem read etc. first change dir permition
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: yeah then the group membership will give the access. Did you try rebooting after?
[21:02] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: yes.
[21:02] <_pg_> nadrosima: I have 777 the dir, chown the dir to that user and group, still no go
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: you need to look at the user owner and group owner then move from there. Make sure the group owner has sufficient access
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: 777 is a really bad idea
[21:03] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: just for troubleshooting
[21:03] <bekks> _pg_: 777 imposes trouble, it doesnt help resolving it.
[21:04] <nadrosima> _pg_:  chown -R 777  your dir
[21:04] <bekks> nadrosima: Thats the worst ideo.
[21:04] <bekks> *idea
[21:04] <daftykins> nadrosima: you don't chown with perms ;)
[21:04] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: so two directories, every group, user owner, dir permission etc the same, the one on encrpyted home can't be written to by TM user, the one outside of encrypted home can
[21:05] <nadrosima> if a user or app got session on your computer (ex java) yes bad idea
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: maybe it's an encryptfs thing. Not something I use
[21:06] <_pg_> each folder's "stat" is identical
[21:06] <_pg_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10853187/
[21:06] <nadrosima> chown -R which_user 775  which_dir
[21:06] <bekks> nadrosima: Stats still wrong.
[21:07] <_pg_> almost identical
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: is this a laptop?
[21:07] <_pg_> no
[21:07] <_pg_> server
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: then why are you using encryptfs?
[21:07] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: in case my house gets broken into
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: are you really expecting that?
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> Jesus
[21:08] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: is anyone really expecting that?
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> I'd understand it on a laptop but on a home server....
[21:10] <nadrosima> _pg_:  why encrypted if a user join your server , who care your files !
[21:10] <_pg_> nadrosima: ?
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: do you run a samba file server too?
[21:14] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: not currently
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: any similar file services?
[21:14] <nadrosima> _pg_:  you encrypted dir and file names ?
[21:15] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: I just started this server pretty much from scratch, it runs ssh server, plex, thats about it.
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: plex running OK?
[21:16] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: yes. everything works as expected. I had some PAM stuff set up but reset that all to defaults to troubleshoot this
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> _pg_: what user does plex run as?
[21:16] <anew> can someone please help, i am running a perl script in cron... the log says 'done' but the script never runs
[21:17] <_pg_> ActionParsnip: I don't know if that is helpful, as Plex doesn't interact with /home at all
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> anew: did you mark the script as executable have have the correct hash bang as the first line?
[21:17] <bekks> anew: How does your crontab entry look like?
[21:17] <anew> where should i paste? pastbin?
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> anew: is it ran as your user?
[21:18] <anew> it's run as root
[21:18] <bekks> anew: that single line fits in here.
[21:18] <anew> or shold be...
[21:18] <anew> * * * * * perl /var/www/example.com/public_html/CronTest.pl
[21:18] <bekks> anew: You have to specify the full path to your perl binary.
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> anew: once a minute?
[21:19] <anew> once a minute jsut to test, the perl file is suppoed to create a file and write to it (which works if i run in cli
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> anew: or you can specify the perfect binary in the first line of the script
[21:19] <anew> bekks i had full path before
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> anew: and mark the file as executable
[21:19] <bekks> anew: It will not work without the full path.
[21:19] <anew> file is 755
[21:20] <anew> bekks i had /usr/bin perl
[21:20] <anew> i will put it again... but it was not working with that
[21:20] <bekks> anew: you need: /usr/bin/perl
[21:20] <anew> had that also, will change again and see
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Anew add:   #!/usr/bin/perl    as the first line in the script
[21:20] <anew> ok
[21:21] <penguin1263> my bouncer is upgrading
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> anew: the file extension isn't necessary in Linux.
[21:21] <anew>  /bin/sh: 1: usr/bin/perl: not found
[21:21] <bekks> anew: you missed a /
[21:22] <bekks> anew: #!/usr/bin/perl
[21:22] <anew> woops ok chaging
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> anew: or check which perl you are using with: which perl
[21:22] <anew> which perl = usr/bin/perl
[21:22] <bekks> anew: you missed the first / again.
[21:22] <bekks> the output is: /usr/bin/perl
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> anew: then add that as the first line,  you need to add the first /
[21:23] <anew> * * * * * /usr/bin/perl /var/www/example.com/public_html/CronTest.pl
[21:23] <anew> not working
[21:23] <anew> and added the #1/usr/bin/perl
[21:23] <anew> to the script
[21:23] <bekks> anew: ! not 1
[21:23] <anew> #!/usr/bin/perl
[21:24] <anew> the output in var/mail/root says 'done'
[21:24] <anew> but the script cant be running because the file doesnt appear with the output...
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> anew: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[21:25] <anew> Ubuntu 14.10 \n \l
[21:26] <ActionParsnip>  anew: http://perltricks.com/article/43/2013/10/11/How-to-schedule-Perl-scripts-using-cron
[21:27] <anew> was already on that page :(
[21:28] <fancyfetus> Ubuntu should make a smartwatch
[21:28] <fancyfetus> Ubuntu Edge inspired.
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> fancyfetus: this is support only. Casual discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:30] <anew> any other ideas ? in my mail it says 'done'
[21:30] <anew> but no output i dont know why
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> anew: did you try the link I gave?
[21:33] <anew> http://pastebin.com/QgUVZSq7
[21:33] <anew> ActionParsnip, yes, i was on that page before and went thru the troubleshooting
[21:33] <anew> here is my mail output
[21:35] <anew> ActionParsnip, any ideas ?
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> anew: what is the output of: ls -la /var/www/example.com/public_html/CronTest.pl
[21:37] <anew> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 225 Apr 19 23:21 /var/www/example.com/public_html/CronTest.pl
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> anew: could try putting some lines in the script to populate a file as the file runs, so you don't just get an email at great end.
[21:39] <anew> i dont understand
[21:39] <anew> the script prints a line to file
[21:39] <anew> very simple
[21:39] <anew> just to get my cron working
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> anew: oh then that is what I was suggesting...   See if that runs...
[21:57] <xnb> .
[22:00] <anew> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/976cc68e1505ec1e2154
[22:00] <anew> here is the complete script and cron
[22:00] <anew> if someone can help it's making me crazy
[22:01] <bekks> Specify a full path for your file to be created.
[22:03] <anew> bekks /var/www/example.com/public_html/report.txt
[22:03] <anew> still did not create it
[22:03] <anew> actually
[22:03] <anew> it did
[22:03] <anew> that was it
[22:03] <anew> bekks thanks

[22:14] <shterion> How can I change my Login Screen Background image in Ubuntu Studio?
[22:14] <amd> i try to install new kernel 4.0 in linux mint 17.1, but i have a some problems with the driver fglrx 14.50... Causes cinnamon fallback... A tried to re-install driver but i have this error  in the log error: [Error] Kernel Module : Failed to build fglrx-14.501.1003 with DKMS
[22:15] <wolfman2000> Good afternoon. How exactly is it decided which packages get placed in the next major release? As an example, cmake is still 2.8.12 or something with the most recent LTS, when they are now on 3.2.x.
[22:15] <k1l> amd: ask the mint support for help with that
[22:15] <k1l> !mint | amd
[22:15] <amd> yes

[22:21] <bvemu> hi
[22:21] <bvemu> #django
[22:26] <LordWillO> so I'm still working on getting my server to work with RSA keys.
[22:27] <LordWillO> I can't figure out how to actually login using the key instead of a password, but I've got the key loaded into authorized_keys on the server
[22:27] <LordWillO> help!
[22:31] <vonsyd0w> generate key, copy public key to remote server; login
[22:33] <vonsyd0w> you can use ssh-copy-id to get the key to the remote server
[22:33] <racho> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH_keys
[22:34] <LordWillO> I've got the key on the remote server already, but when I go to login, it still prompts for a password (and not the private key password)
[22:35] <LordWillO> i have a feeling it's because I haven't done anything with the private key. don't I need to tell SSH where my private key is located?
[22:36] <hkrrsx> morning
[22:36] <racho> LordWillO, it should be appended to ~./.ssh/authorized_keys
[22:37] <racho> LordWillO, read the link ^
[22:38] <LordWillO> i am, and the public key IS appended to the authorized_key file on the server I am trying to login to, but don't I need to do something with the private key?
[22:39] <LordWillO> when I try "ssh user@hostname", it doesn't do anything differewntly, just prompts for the password
[22:41] <vonsyd0w> LordWillO, check this link out: http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/36540/33396
[22:43] <LordWillO> that's helpful, I'll try it and let you know.
[22:48] <penguin1263_> umm
[23:00] <LordWillO> vonsyd0w, still no effect. Is there nothing I need to set to tell ssh where to look for the private key? I unkinowlingly named it webserver instead of the default id_rsa
[23:02] <vonsyd0w> maybe the -i option?
[23:02] <vonsyd0w> look up "man ssh" and the -i flag
[23:03] <vonsyd0w> personally i'd delete the key and generate a new one w/ the default name
[23:03] <vonsyd0w> fix it before it causes future issues
[23:07] <LordWillO> it worked. I have the names different because I have several SSH keys I have to keep track of for several systems.
[23:07] <p-trust> how to avoid eye-strain in ubuntu ?
[23:08] <LordWillO> p-trust, http://www.gunnars.com/
[23:08] <vonsyd0w> LordWillO, glad it worked
[23:08] <p-trust> LordWillO, I've got them yesterday
[23:08] <p-trust> I think it's getting even worse :(

[23:15] <joao_> Hi everyone
[23:15] <joao_> I need help to solve a little thing
[23:19] <joao_> I need i little help
[23:20] <joao_> Can anyone do it?
[23:20] <EriC^^> with what?
[23:20] <hkrrsx> joao_: What's on your mind
[23:20] <vonsyd0w> ask away
[23:20] <joao_> well first sorry for my bad english
[23:20] <joao_> So i installed teamspeak 3 and is working well
[23:22] <joao_> but in the past, when press right click, an option to open runscript sh on terminal was showed
[23:22] <joao_> now to open the file i need to use the terminal
[23:24] <daftykins> joao_: if you follow teamspeak's readme file, it tells you how to make it auto run on startup
[23:24] <skinux> Anyone recommend a good free cPanel alternative that plays well with Ubuntu?
[23:24] <joao_> daftykins
[23:25] <joao_> I dont want it running on startup
[23:25] <daftykins> i see
[23:25] <joao_> Anyone knows what changed?
[23:25] <joao_> im using ubuntu 15.04
[23:25] <daftykins> oh well then you need to be in #ubuntu+1
[23:26] <daftykins> we don't deal with unreleased versions yet, technically.
[23:26] <joao_> so what it means?
[23:26] <kostkon> joao_, join #ubuntu+1 and post your question there
[23:27] <joao_> ok im gonna try
[23:27] <joao_> thx anyway
[23:27] <kostkon> joao_,      /join #ubuntu+1    to join that channel
[23:29] <lzkill> my brand new sandisk usb stick breaks my network access whenever I plug it in. what should I look in order to debug this issue?
[23:29] <daftykins> joao_: although i wonder if this helps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138908/how-to-execute-a-script-just-by-double-clicking-like-exe-files-in-windows
[23:30] <EriC^^> lzkill: any /dev changes?
[23:30] <daftykins> hmm i'd compare dmesg before and after?
[23:30] <EriC^^> maybe something is using /dev instead of the uuid or something
[23:33] <lzkill> in fact I'm away from the machine where the issue occurs, i'll try to figure this out tomorrow...
[23:33] <lzkill> any more ideas besides dmesg and /dev changes?
[23:35] <daftykins> lzkill: just to clarify, i'd boot up fresh with the device unplugged, run "dmesg > ~/file" then plug it in and run "dmesg > ~/file2" and share both via pastebin
 i will give it a try!
[23:38] <lzkill> nice... i'll share my findings with you guys tomorrow night...
[23:38] <lzkill> thanks
[23:38] <bnl_> hi
[23:51] <Super_Ape> Hello, when I restart my computer it doesn't back to desktop...  I must close the notebook, and open again to back to login screen...
[23:51] <Super_Ape> thanks
