  Any way to fix this
[00:11] <DeeGu> ?
[00:11] <daftykins> the link would answer that
[00:11] <lvfjf> well, you need wait until they fix
[00:12] <DeeGu> Sad.
[00:12] <DeeGu> Well thanks for help guys.
[00:14] <d1323> after ctrl+z and %&, how can I attach the program back to the console?
[00:19] <dw1> Whenever I eject a network drive I end up dragging a bookmark and have to click it back down in the right place to avoid screwing things up... anyone else?
[00:19] <dw1> (in Nautilus)

[00:20] <lvfjf> i forgot the command,i will search
[00:22] <pelvis> hello everyone, gtkpod crashes when I try to add a folder, is there a way to fix this?
[00:24] <goldeneye> hello all
[00:24] <goldeneye> i just installed ubuntu 14.04 on my thinkpad t60p
[00:24] <daftykins> goldeneye: that's great. does it come with a question?
[00:25] <goldeneye> however, i dont get any sound on laptop speakers - can someone help?
[00:25] <goldeneye> @daftykins - yes :) i just did - thanks for the quick response
[00:27] <goldeneye> daftykins : this happened in past too when i had 12.04 ubuntu
[00:27] <daftykins> what did you do then? :)
[00:27] <daftykins> run alsamixer and check volume levels maybe?
[00:28] <goldeneye> daftykins : someone from the IRC chat helped me :) as i am not a pro, and my win xp crashed (yet again)
[00:28] <daftykins> thankfully XP is dead
[00:28] <daftykins> sadly i have no experience with audio issues
[00:28] <goldeneye> I checked the volume levels - they are full
[00:28] <daftykins> nothing muted?
[00:30] <goldeneye> nop nothing
[00:30] <goldeneye> all setup in full volume
[00:31] <goldeneye> atleast from what i know, there is only one setting on top right corner
[00:31] <daftykins> goldeneye: identify the device with 'lspci' then google issues with it is the best idea i can come up with
[00:32] <goldeneye> i got this :  Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[00:34] <goldeneye> thanks daftykins . anyone else who can help with audio problems on ubuntu?
[00:34] <democritus101> what exactly is your problem goldeneye
[00:34] <democritus101> ?
[00:35] <kostkon> goldeneye, how many devices are listed in output?
[00:36] <pelvis> hello everyone, I'm trying to install the latest version of gtkpod, but it is a deb package and cant find the proper instructions
[00:36] <goldeneye> democritus101: no audio after installing 14.04 , kostkon : bunch of them but audio is this : Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[00:36] <kostkon> pelvis, double click on it
[00:37] <qin> pelvis: sudo dpkg -i gtkpod.deb;
[00:37] <kostkon> goldeneye, forget that. i mean in your sound settings
[00:37] <pelvis> qin, but how will I know if it has any dependencies, or whether any additional command will be required?
[00:38] <qin> pelvis: it ain't complinging its all good
[00:38] <pelvis> sorry, it is not deb package, it is tar.gz
[00:38] <goldeneye> just one device
[00:38] <iFire> How do I apply this nvidia driver patch? http://bpaste.net/show/109185/
[00:39] <qin> pelvis: do not install from source unless you know how to do it ;)
[00:39] <democritus101> pelvis, you will have to untar it and build it
[00:39] <democritus101> but i guess qin is right
[00:39] <iFire> tar xvf tar.gz ?
[00:39] <kostkon> goldeneye, is there an option to select the mode?
[00:40] <pelvis> qin, democritus101, I just wanted to install the latest version, because the one in the repo is crashing, and I read that this was fixed in later versions
[00:40] <qin> pelvis: 2.1.4 is in trusty repos... where  is ding?
[00:40] <democritus101> goldeneye, what do you get after running cat /proc/asound/cards
[00:40] <goldeneye> kostkon : not sure what would that mean...could you explain plase
[00:40] <qin> !info gtkpod
[00:40] <pelvis> qin, I am using 12.04
[00:41] <democritus101> qin just run sudo apt-get gtkpod
[00:41] <democritus101> sorry sudo apt-get install gtkpod
[00:41] <qin> democritus101: okey, but I do not have iCrap...
[00:41] <iFire> Anyone help me?
[00:42] <cfhowlett> !patience|iFire
[00:42] <kostkon> goldeneye, on the right side, if you click on Output
[00:42] <pelvis> qin, I have 12.04.
[00:42] <pelvis> of ubuntu
[00:43] <willwh>
[00:43] <qin> pelvis: Yeah, there is no PPA and you would check major libs version before installing from source
[00:44] <cfhowlett> pelvis or you could update to 14.04?
[00:45] <pelvis> qin, is it technically of high complexity to do what you've mentioned?   if it is so, upgrading to 14.04. might be easier, cfhowlett.
[00:45] <pelvis> for me
[00:46] <goldeneye> kostkon : it says digital output and built-in speakers thats it
[00:46] <kostkon> goldeneye, try both. try every possible combination
[00:46] <goldeneye> kostkon : i tried to toggle every possible radio button and slider options :)
[00:47] <goldeneye> nothing works
[00:47] <goldeneye> the volume even when i put it to full, is always very very low
[00:47] <goldeneye> even if I put it to amplify more than 100% , even then i can barely hear it with the headphones on
[00:47] <qin> pelvis: upgrading is fairly better choice, if you have gtkpod installec already you could theoreticaly install tarball to see how it goes...
[00:48] <goldeneye> i figured it out
[00:48] <pelvis> qin, upgrading straight from 12.04. to 14.04. is not advised or even possible, right?
[00:48] <goldeneye> it was the microfone volume
[00:48] <goldeneye> as soon as i muted it i am good
[00:49] <goldeneye> thanks for help kostkon
[00:49] <kostkon> goldeneye, np
[00:49] <qin> pelvis: why?
[00:50] <pelvis> qin, I don't remember clearly, but while upgrading to one of the earlier versions I might have read it either as a warning message or in forums.
[00:52] <qin> pelvis: maybe for beta, you should be fine with Update Manager and time on your hands
[00:55] <pelvis> and also even the update manager didnt show me yet that there was a new upgrade
[00:55] <basketball> how do i change mac address from terminal
[00:56] <pelvis> probably because I am not using 13.10.
[00:56] <rww> pelvis: It's very possible and supported, it's just not advertised through Update Manager until 14.04.1
[00:57] <pelvis> rww, oh, thank you for your hint!
[00:57] <daftykins> basketball: i remember using a program called macchanger in the past
[00:58] <pelvis> qin, rww, so what do I need to do to upgrade from 12.04. to 14.04. without any accidents on the way? :)
[00:58] <daftykins> backup.
[00:58] <rww> pelvis: personally I'd just wait until 14.04.1 (in July) and take it when it's offered to you through update manager
[00:59] <rww> if that's not possible, I believe update-manager -d works? not sure on that though
[00:59] <pwy> I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04, with the default encryption ( LVM2 on top of Luks with / and SWAP in LVM). I'm trying to get suspend/resume to work. When I run pm-hibernate, it does suspend, and on restart, it prompts for the password and does seem to load the image (from disk/swap I think), and I see the desktop with the hibernate command, but then the machine is frozen. Any suggestions?
[00:59] <cfhowlett> pelvis that first point release will have incorporate the first wave of updates/upgrades/fixes that attend any newly released OS.  IMO less stressful to wait for it - then again, I only run LTS.
[01:02] <pelvis> rww, cfhowlett, that was my reason not to have upgraded yet. for now I was just trying to install the latest gtkpod, for the version in 12.04. is an earlier one, and it crashes when adding folders.
[01:03] <cfhowlett> !source|pelvis you have one option: build it from source.
[01:04] <pelvis> I dont wanna seem to be advertising iCrap, but this is the only gadget I can use as player as of now..
[01:04] <apb1963> I changed my output audio device to USB.... I no longer get sound in either Chrome or Firefox.  Sound works fine in Amarok and jitsi, but I needed to change the audio device in those programs.  Neither browser seems to have a way (that I can find) of changing the audio device.  VLC does NOT work, even though I changed the audio device.  I'm kind of puzzled at the moment.   Any ideas?
[01:05] <styles> apb1963: is jitsi crashing for you?
[01:05] <apb1963> styles: nope
[01:05] <styles> with the latest one using OTR in conversations
[01:05] <styles> blah mine is
[01:05] <apb1963> oh umm... ubuntu 12.04
[01:05] <styles> ah 14.04 jitsi crashes
[01:05] <styles> don't upgrade until they fix lol
[01:06] <dw1> apb1963: you might be able to adjust something in pavucontrol
[01:06] <apb1963> styles: try sflphone... in general I prefer it, but I was having delayed audio.  Maybe you won't.
[01:06] <apb1963> dw1:  I'll try that.  Thank you
[01:06] <styles> I have full disc encryption running and can't seem to even see the password box. I hve to crash out and go to failsafe boot .. then type it in via command line
[01:06] <styles> humm
[01:06] <styles> I'll def try it
[01:07] <rww> !info jitsi
[01:07] <styles> Does it have chat?
[01:07] <styles> rww: mainly it has encryption for voice & chat (OTR) built in
[01:07] <pelvis> cfhowlett, so if I use, " $ apt-get -b source packagename"  will the package be built by itself?
[01:07] <rww> styles: odd. I'm using the same version of Jitsi in Debian and it's not crashing at all :\
[01:07] <styles> humm
[01:08] <cfhowlett> pelvis nope.  that'll GET it but you still have to build and configure - or so I understand.
[01:08] <styles> It's really odd because I can't find the ticket now, I know it's there somewhere I pumped it with my crash dump
[01:08] <styles> We were both using ostel.co though via proxy
[01:08] <styles> that might have been a factor in the crash
[01:08] <pelvis> cfhowlett, this is too advanced for me, I guess.
[01:08] <ExWizzard> is there a faster way to kill a process than "kill -9 pid" ? I have a stuck process which is making the ps command hang, when i did "strace ps -f" i saw which pid it was stuck on. I then tried to execute "ll /proc/3770/" and it hanged as well, I cannot even kill it
[01:08] <rww> styles: ah. my partner and I just use our own XMPP servers
[01:09] <styles> Which one?
[01:09] <cfhowlett> pelvis 14.04.1 comes out in a few more months.  patience.
[01:09] <styles> Er what software*
[01:09] <rww> styles: prosody on both ends
[01:09] <pelvis> cfhowlett, I think that's the way to go :)
[01:09] <styles> I was going to try uh ...
[01:09] <styles> I can't remember the name fire something
[01:09] <kmyst> anybody ever try to install from a livecd booted up via pxe/tftp over nfs?
[01:09] <pelvis> qin, cfhowlett, thank you very much for your help!
[01:10] <cfhowlett> pelvis happy to help
[01:10] <pelvis> good night!
[01:12] <apb1963> dw1: (pavucontrol:3880): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed                                                           and it can't connect to pulse.  I don't think I'm running it.
[01:12] <JohnZorn> Is there an easy way to reload the keyboard when it gets messed up by vmware? I'm talking about the host
[01:12] <JohnZorn> Without reboot/killing x
[01:13] <awesomess3> if 13.10 LiveUSB tickles my fancy...and it works...would there be any reason to switch to 14.04?
[01:13] <rww> awesomess3: 14.04 is supported for a lot longer.
[01:14] <johnjohn101> 5 years vs 3 more months :)
[01:14] <awesomess3> 3 months, nnnoooo
[01:14] <kostkon> awesomess3, for 3 more months yeah. You'll need to upgrade
[01:17] <dw1> apb1963: weird, i thought all ubuntus used pulseaudio
[01:20] <navap> I have a machine with 1x80GB,2x1TB. I want to install ubuntu on the 80GB and then mount the two TBs as one mirrored raid array.
[01:21] <navap> Any recommended links that would walk me through this?
[01:21] <daftykins> just look up mdadm
[01:26] <bluezone> the file browser in ubuntu 14.04 is still nautilus right?
[01:26] <apb1963> dw1: ALSA
[01:28] <apb1963> How can I change my default audio device?
[01:28] <Daekdroom> apb1963, it actually uses Pulseaudio as a sound server on top of ALSA (which handles the hardware)
[01:28] <iFire> cfhowlett: I got it to work
[01:28] <Beldar> bluezone, ubuntu=unity yes
[01:29] <kostkon> bluezone, affirmative
[01:29] <iFire> cfhowlett: http://pastebin.com/zgptSkUB
[01:29] <apb1963> Daekdroom: Yes.  But some programs use ALSA directly, w/out pulse... at least, that seems to be the case since I'm not running pulse and sound works on amarok & jitsi through USB, while everything works if I use a normal sound card.
[01:30] <kostkon> apb1963, ubuntu or lubuntu?
[01:30] <apb1963> kostkon: ubuntu 12.04
[01:31] <kostkon> apb1963, you should be using pulse then.
[01:31] <apb1963> kostkon: I didn't make the choice... it's just the way it is.
[01:31] <kostkon> apb1963, not really. I don't know what caused your install to get rid of pulse
[01:32] <apb1963> kostkon: me neither
[01:32] <kostkon> apb1963, try reinstalling it
[01:32] <apb1963> kostkon: pulse?  It's actually installed... it's just that nothing is apparently using it and up until today, I had no problems with sound.
[01:33] <Doondopa> Is there an irc room where I can get some help with postgresql?
[01:33] <kostkon> apb1963, it's not running then. try deleting the .pulse folder in your home
[01:33] <Doondopa> I cannot login to my database for some reason
[01:33] <apb1963> so what happened today?  I added a Y splitter so I could have both speakers & headphone.
[01:34] <Doondopa> I am using pgAdmin III to connect to my postgresql database
[01:34] <kostkon> apb1963, delete the folder, then try to start pulseaudio with:  pulseaudio -D
[01:34] <Doondopa> But pgAdmin III keeps refusing to connect to it
[01:35] <Doondopa> When I tried "psql <database_name>" it said it didnt exist
[01:35] <Doondopa> which it does
[01:35] <willwh> Doondopa: you can connect over a shell?
[01:35] <Doondopa> Yes
[01:35] <Doondopa> OpenSSH
[01:35] <willwh> you just said you couldnt
[01:35] <willwh> psql <dbname>
[01:36] <willwh> so which is it?
[01:36] <Doondopa> I am having the problem with pgAdmin III
[01:36] <willwh> also, #postgres
[01:36] <Doondopa> ok
[01:36] <Doondopa> Thank you
[01:36] <willwh> that I can't help you with
[01:36] <willwh> and
[01:36] <qin> Doondopa: http://www.postgresql.org/community/irc/
[01:36] <willwh> the people in $postgres might not help much either
[01:36] <willwh> I don't know
[01:36] <Doondopa> sigh ok
[01:36] <willwh> worth a shot
[01:36] <Doondopa> yeah..
[01:37] <apb1963> kostkon: no improvement.
[01:37] <willwh> honestly
[01:37] <willwh> web interfaces like that for admining databases
[01:37] <kostkon> apb1963, did it print any error messages
[01:37] <willwh> are a terrible idea security wise
[01:37] <sudormrf> hey guys, any way I can see my search domain with ifconfig?
[01:37] <ahmed_> its   wonderful    im  new  user   ubuntu lik dream  fuck to windos xp
[01:37] <willwh> unless you are SSH tunneling to a box that only listens on localhost
[01:37] <apb1963> kostkon: not to the screen
[01:37] <willwh> ahmed_: watch your language please
[01:37] <kostkon> apb1963,   ps -A | grep pulse
[01:37] <kostkon> apb1963, does it show it as running
[01:38] <apb1963> kostkon: yes
[01:38] <kostkon> apb1963, ok, now try to setup your sound in your sound settings
[01:38] <willwh> Doondopa: I only say they are a bad idea because people trying to use them know even less about systems security
[01:38] <willwh> usually nayway
[01:39] <Doondopa> willwh
[01:39] <Doondopa> I was put in charge with a database for running household groceries
[01:39] <willwh> yes?
[01:39] <Doondopa> Posgresql is an alien thing to me
[01:39] <willwh> then what do yoou need that for?
[01:39] <Doondopa> I know nothing about databases
[01:39] <Doondopa> Its is just my father insisting this on me
[01:39] <ahmed_>  i m from eygpt    my english   very bad   but i can try
[01:39] <Doondopa> I am trying my best to learn what i can and fix this problem
[01:40] <Doondopa> But i do not understand what is going on
[01:40] <Doondopa> It was working before
[01:40] <Doondopa> Nothing was changed to the configuration files
[01:40] <Doondopa> I saved the pgadmin III config file
[01:40] <Doondopa> because it had the login details and all
[01:40] <Doondopa> So i thought when i updated to ubuntu 14.04
[01:40] <Doondopa> everything would come back
[01:40] <Doondopa> without having to type in anything in pgAdmin III
[01:41] <Doondopa> But i upgraded to ubuntu 14.04
[01:41] <Doondopa> put the config file in my home folder
[01:41] <Doondopa> installed and ran pgAdmin III
[01:41] <Doondopa> and now it is asking for some password for postgre
[01:41] <Doondopa> I dont quite remember if we had used a password
[01:41] <Doondopa> if we did it was most likely something default
[01:41] <Doondopa> but i dont know what the default is either
[01:41] <apb1963> kostkon: Test button doesn't produce sound.
[01:42] <willwh> Doondopa: there is no such thing as a default password for postgres
[01:42] <kostkon> apb1963, try every possible combination first. test it in your media player too
[01:42] <Doondopa> Ok
[01:42] <apb1963> kostkon: sorry... combination of what?
[01:43] <Doondopa> So if i just leave the password field blank it should log mein right?
[01:43] <ahmed_> thank you ubuntu   i m tougth    the world
[01:43] <Doondopa> well it didnt
[01:43] <Doondopa> it says some authentication error thing
[01:43] <willwh> Doondopa: no definitely not
[01:43] <willwh> Doondopa: it will require a password
[01:43] <willwh> you must have set something
[01:43] <kostkon> apb1963, devices, modes, any other switches available
[01:43] <Doondopa> so what the hell is password?
[01:43] <Doondopa> How can i retrieve this password
[01:43] <willwh> given I know nothing about pgadmin III
[01:44] <qin> Doondopa: you have copy of that config file do you?
[01:44] <apb1963> kostkon: pulse sound server is my only choice
[01:44] <kostkon> apb1963, what do you mean? could you post a screenshot.
[01:45] <ahmed_> help for  skype
[01:45] <willwh> Doondopa: how did you install pgadmin III?
[01:45] <Doondopa> I installed it from the synaptic package manager
[01:45] <Doondopa> I mean repository
[01:46] <Doondopa> on a freshnew install of ubuntu 14.04
[01:46] <revona> anyone tell me off topic address
[01:46] <daftykins> synaptic = a program not a repo
[01:46] <revona> plesass
[01:46] <Doondopa> Yes
[01:46] <willwh> on a fresh install?
[01:46] <willwh> ok
[01:46] <Doondopa> I corrected my self
[01:46] <willwh> wait a minute
[01:46] <daftykins> revona: #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:46] <willwh> I don't believe this
[01:46] <willwh> how do you expect that a database would exist if you installed a fresh copy of ubuntu?
[01:46] <revona> thanks
[01:46] <Doondopa> Not on the freaking server
[01:46] <Doondopa> it is my computer that is remote from
[01:47] <willwh> so you're trying to connect a local pgadmin3 to a remote psql db?
[01:48] <Doondopa> yes
[01:48] <Doondopa> exactly
[01:49] <glenn__> how can I see the configurations of my notebook ?
[01:49] <glenn__> I'm beginner :(
[01:49] <spearson> when I try to upgrade to 14.04 I get the following: could not download the upgrades Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/freerdp/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch
[01:49] <apb1963> kostkon: http://snag.gy/fFQO9.jpg
[01:49] <willwh> spearson: apt-get update first?
[01:49] <kostkon> apb1963, so it's kubuntu and not ubuntu
[01:50] <willwh> Doondopa: that is strange, so you're remote psql config hasn't changed
[01:50] <spearson> this was via the gui to you want me to do apt-get update?
[01:50] <Doondopa> postgresql is installed on only one thing.  the server
[01:50] <Doondopa> my local machine does not have the database or postgresql
[01:50] <kostkon> apb1963, probably click on audio hardware setup
[01:50] <Doondopa> it only has pgadmin3 to connect to the one on the server
[01:51] <HoloIRCUser2> Does cisco packet tracer work well with Ubuntu?
[01:53] <apb1963> kostkon: http://snag.gy/KM4dY.jpg
[01:54] <kostkon> apb1963, good. try all the available profiles and connectors etc. what about the backend?
[01:54] <apb1963> kostkon: gstreamer
[01:54] <kostkon> apb1963, ok
[01:56] <apb1963> kostkon: one thing that bothers me is it says "built-in audio" for sound card... which implies it's not seeing my USB device.
[01:56] <kostkon> apb1963, it isn't available as an option?
[01:57] <apb1963> kostkon: No.  I will also remind you, that I'm currently listening to Amarok - through my USB card - and w/out pulse.

[01:59] <gamez-n-shizzle> hey guys i need some help
[01:59] <gamez-n-shizzle> on a Dell XPS 702x
[01:59] <gamez-n-shizzle> getting non-stop HARD LOCK
[01:59] <kostkon> apb1963, you could be blocking pulse by doing that.
[01:59] <HoloIRCUser2> How well does cisco packet tracer work on linux?
[01:59] <gamez-n-shizzle> computer completely freezes, need to press the power button 5 seconds and reboot...
[01:59] <gamez-n-shizzle> what should i do??
[01:59] <gamez-n-shizzle> no error messages anywhere
[01:59] <gamez-n-shizzle> im using the standard nvidia drivers 331
[02:00] <apb1963> kostkon: ok, I'll kill amarok... then what?  Restart pulse?
[02:00] <spearson> I ran apt-get update
[02:00] <kostkon> apb1963, pulseaudio -k  then pulseaudio -D
[02:01] <spearson> should I try the upgrade to 14.04 now?
[02:01] <gamez-n-shizzle> comon ??
[02:02] <convict> I'm trying to set the outb parameters in grub to disable the discrete gpu on boot for a mid-2012 macbook pro but when it starts I jsut get a black screen.
[02:10] <dw1> spearson: still having upgrade issues? :/
[02:10] <spearson> yup
[02:10] <apb1963> kostkon: I did that... but I also went into alsamixer and selected the USB device as my soundcard.  The test button in the settings menu now works - I get sound; however, youtube still doesn't play sound.
[02:12] <spearson> #dw1 yup still having issues
[02:13] <Doondopa> dwl?
[02:13] <Doondopa> who uses dwl?
[02:13] <apb1963> kostkon: Oh yah... the devices menu in settings is now completely grayed out.
[02:13] <Doondopa> Are you from the caribbean?
[02:13] <spearson> I'm from the USA if your asking me
[02:13] <Doondopa> immigrant?
[02:13] <spearson> nope
[02:14] <dw1> spearson: try deleting that one particular file in/var/lib/apt/lists/* or all files in there..  http://askubuntu.com/questions/41605/trouble-downloading-updates-due-to-a-hash-sum-mismatch-error
[02:14] <basketball> how do i change mac address from terminal
[02:15] <bluezone> basketball, not sure if that's possible
[02:15] <spearson> I tried deleting that one file and it didn't seem to help but I can delete all the files to flush  everything out
[02:15] <dw1> basketball: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/
[02:15] <bluezone> ooo nice
[02:15] <dw1> spearson: do it... we're tired of the errors :)
[02:16] <spearson> I am too
[02:16] <kostkon> apb1963, i'm assuming it's because pulse is not running
[02:16] <packet_> dwl any idea how to fix the too many files open error while changing the mac address ?
[02:16] <HoloIRCUser2> Just out of curiosity why do you want to?
[02:16] <spearson> what's the command to flush everything out?
[02:16] <packet_> (ulimit -n is set to unlimited)
[02:16] <spearson> thanks
[02:16] <dw1> spearson: its on that page
[02:16] <daftykins> basketball: i already told you, macchanger.
[02:16] <spearson> ok
[02:16] <bluezone> does anyone know when the unity crash will be fixed in 14.04? (left clicking on an application in the task bar that has more than 2 instances opened causes a crash)
[02:16] <HoloIRCUser2> Baseball: why do you want to?
[02:16] <dw1> packet_: hmm weird no
[02:17] <holstein> bluezone: wheres the bug report? i'll try and test that here, and make it crash
[02:17] <basketball> daftykins,  i dont like that
[02:17] <daftykins> basketball: "don't like" ? explain.
[02:18] <HoloIRCUser2> Just reading the support for this makes me not want to install Ubuntu.
[02:18] <apb1963> kostkon: pulse IS running
[02:18] <holstein> HoloIRCUser2: for this what?
[02:18] <basketball> i want a command that changes it not program
[02:19] <packet_> basketball you want to change the mac ?
[02:19] <apb1963> kostkon: 5309 ?        00:00:01 pulseaudio
[02:19] <HoloIRCUser2> holstein: this channel
[02:19] <holstein> HoloIRCUser2: you can contribute to this channel.. its volunteer support..
[02:19] <bluezone> holstein, i don't know where it is but i just described it
[02:20] <bluezone> probably some mailing list somewhere
[02:20] <holstein> bluezone: you'll need to create a bug report if there is none.. and get someone to confirm it
[02:20] <holstein> !but | bluezone
[02:20] <holstein> basketball: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu/ looks like a great place to start
[02:20] <daftykins> basketball: ... what does it matter if the end result is the same?
[02:20] <apb1963> kostkon: amarok still works
[02:20] <holstein> !bug | bluezone
[02:21] <bluezone> well i've sumbitted it only about 20 times with that window that pops up after the crash
[02:21] <dw1> spearson: upgrade running now?
[02:22] <holstein> bluezone: whats the bug #?
[02:23] <kostkon> apb1963, you could install pavucontrol, start playing a youtube video and see if  flash is listed in playback
[02:23] <bluezone> holstein, actually it might be this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1179113
[02:24] <blkshodan> exit
[02:24] <blkshodan> #exit
[02:24] <holstein> bluezone: let me know if it is, and i'll look at it.
[02:24] <SonikkuAmerica> blkshodan: Maybe /quit will do what you -- oh OK
[02:24] <bluezone> holstein, seems to be the most likely one
[02:25] <bluezone> yeah it's this
[02:25] <holstein> bluezone: i usually test as a different user, and use a live CD to isolate issues.. might be just something with your particular hardware case or misconfiguration
[02:25] <bluezone> yeah it seems to be 2x monitors + ati card = crash
[02:26] <holstein> bluezone: so, you have a few driver options.. the open and the proprietary ones
[02:26] <tab1293> So I just made a backup of my home folder using the backup utility  included with Ubuntu. I stored the password protected backup on an external USB drive. If I format my Ubuntu partition and reinstall 14.04 will I be able to retrieve my old home folder from the USB drive?
[02:26] <holstein> tab1293: id test first
[02:27] <bluezone> both seem to be problematic, and using the open ones arent really an option for me at this point unfortunately
[02:27] <holstein> bluezone: its an option for troubleshooting.. if you are using the proprietary ones, let the creators of the drivers know you are having an issue with them
[02:27] <holstein> bluezone: you can try the xorg edgers PPA
[02:27] <apb1963> kostkon: amarok shows.... flash does not.
[02:28] <apb1963> kostkon: kill amarok again?
[02:28] <bluezone> alright going to have to reboot here brb
[02:28] <apb1963> kostkon: jitsi also works
[02:29] <dw1> spearson: good?
[02:29] <kostkon> apb1963, that's good news. what's the device set for them. is it youe usb card?
[02:30] <bluezone> 10 second reboot, SSD power ^_^
[02:30] <kostkon> apb1963, load a youtube video in your browser and press play and check again
[02:30] <holstein> bluezone: please use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel for not-support related chat.. thanks
[02:30] <apb1963> kostkon: Yes... but these results have not changed from when we first started talking.  The only change has been that now I can play the test sound through pulse.... everything else is as it was.
[02:31] <JCM83> When I want to install a windows program to run using wine compatibility layer, do I need to just run the windows install program using wine?
[02:31] <apb1963> kostkon: oh and now I can use pavucontrol since I started up pulse.  Otherwise... no change.
[02:32] <kostkon> apb1963, ok. so in pavucontrol the streams from those apps are listed in playback, right? nexy to their entries it should show a drop down menu
[02:32] <bluezone> holstein, i know of the offtopic channel, i was simply making a small joke
[02:32] <holstein> !wine > JCM83
[02:32] <holstein> bluezone: sure. and use the appropriate channel, please. thanks!
[02:32] <JCM83> holstein - cool, that doesn't answer my specific question though.
[02:32] <jlzok> hello
[02:33] <holstein> JCM83: specifically, it can depend on the applicaiton. the wineHQ entries for each application can help
[02:33] <jlzok> idem
[02:33] <holstein> JCM83: i usually just try them myself, with the knowlege, that they may not work, since linux support is not guaranteed
[02:34] <dw1> spearson: working now?
[02:34] <spearson> Hi, I something froze and had to reboot ubuntu so I'm running the command again
[02:34] <spearson> thanks for checking
[02:35] <dw1> freeze not cool :(
[02:35] <spearson> ya
[02:35] <dw1> really bad mid-upgrade
[02:36] <spearson> I plugged in my iPhone and it may have cuased somethig to go funny
[02:36] <dw1> doesnt happen often?
[02:36] <spearson> the battery died to I plugged it in to charge
[02:36] <spearson> never experienced a freeze like that before
[02:36] <dw1> :)
[02:37] <alienbro> Hi, can someone help me connect to the Internet through the CLI on Ubuntu 14.04 Server 32 bit?
[02:37] <apb1963> kostkon: only amarok shows up... but yes, there is a drop down menu.  usb is selected for amarok.
[02:37] <dw1> alienbro: are you on a network with a dhcp server?
[02:38] <kostkon> apb1963, that's good. but it should also show flash when a flash video that has sound is playing in your browser
[02:38] <alienbro> dw1, How do I figure this out? I think so
[02:38] <devinceble> alienbro: sudo dhclient eth0 or eth1
[02:39] <apb1963> kostkon: it should... but it does not
[02:39] <alienbro> devinceble, I can't use Ethernet at the moment. Can I substitute in wlan0?
[02:39] <devinceble> alienbro: yes
[02:40] <mozzarella> guys
[02:40] <alienbro> devinceble, After I typed in my sudo password it returned "no talloc stackframe at../soruce3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory"
[02:40] <dw1> alienbro: my server's /etc/network/interfaces http://pastebin.com/FYnBj3R9 -- then ifup eth0 should do it
[02:40] <mozzarella> how can I display the menu without placing my cursor on the bar?
[02:40] <dw1> alienbro: thats not good..
[02:40] <mozzarella> I want it to keep showing
[02:41] <kostkon> apb1963, you could try logging out and logging back in. then check your sound settings again, test flash again and so on
[02:41] <alienbro> dw1, What could have happened? This is a fresh install of 14.04 server 32 bit with nothing but the samba share packages installed.
[02:41] <spearson> ok, I ran apt-get update
[02:41] <kostkon> mozzarella, which menu?
[02:41] <spearson> do you want me to run the upgrade to 14.04 via the gui now?
[02:41] <mozzarella> kostkon: application menu
[02:41] <dw1> alienbro: good question......
[02:41] <mozzarella> in the top bar
[02:41] <spearson> or should I do it via terminal
[02:41] <dw1> spearson: you're the boss. :)  sounds like a plan.
[02:42] <spearson> Okay
[02:42] <spearson> I'll keep you posted
[02:42] <kostkon> mozzarella, in ubuntu gnome?
[02:42] <mozzarella> kostkon: ubuntu 14.04
[02:42] <mozzarella> unity
[02:42] <dw1> spearson: prefix your comments with dw1: so i am alerted and your message is highlighted.. its a big busy channel makes it a lot easier
[02:43] <kostkon> mozzarella, you mean when you click on the ubuntu logo?
[02:43] <dw1> spearson: often you can type part of a nick and then hit <tab> to complete it easily
[02:43] <mozzarella> kostkon: no, when I place my mouse cursor over the top bar
[02:43] <alienbro> dw1, any suggested course of action?
[02:43] <dw1> alienbro: id be on google for the error, as usual .. but thats a scary one
[02:44] <kostkon> mozzarella, that' not a behaviour that you usually find when using unity
[02:44] <spearson> okay dw1
[02:44] <apb1963> kostkon: I need to get something to eat... i'll try later...thank you for your efforts.
[02:44] <mozzarella> kostkon: what do you mean
[02:44] <dw1> spearson: that works too, any mention of my nick will highlight it
[02:44] <alienbro> dw1, I'm just gonna go install CentOS then since this apparently likes to break out of the box
[02:44] <spearson> dw1 cool, so no need to do # and your nic right
[02:44] <packet_>  mozzarella: press alt and keep it pressed
[02:44] <kostkon> mozzarella, oh right, you mean the global menu
[02:45] <dw1> spearson: right just the dw1 in any format will highlight it
[02:45] <packet_> then use the keyboard shortcut for the desired menu
[02:45] <mozzarella> yes, I don't want it to hide
[02:45] <mozzarella> I want it to always show
[02:45] <mozzarella> it was this way in 13.10 I believe
[02:46] <spearson> dw1 I get a message saying not all updates can be installed. run a partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible.
[02:46] <spearson> and the options partial upgrade and continue and then setting
[02:46] <mozzarella> guys, I fucked up, I went to the mouse settings in the settings panel
[02:46] <mozzarella> and now my cursor is slow
[02:46] <dw1> spearson: hmm never heard of it
[02:46] <holstein> !language
[02:46] <dw1> spearson: does it mention why or what cant be installed
[02:47] <kostkon> mozzarella, http://askubuntu.com/questions/25785/can-auto-hide-for-the-application-menu-be-turned-off-in-unity
[02:47] <mozzarella> alright, screwed up
[02:49] <spearson> dw1 it says this can be caused by * a previous upgrade which didn't complete | * Problems with some of the installed software | * unoffical software packages not probided by Ubuntu | * normal chances of a pre-release version of Ubuntu
[02:49] <mozzarella> I think you don't understand, bro
[02:49] <mozzarella> and I want my cursor speed back, seriously
[02:49] <cipherboy> Hey, anyone here familiar with testdisk? Is there a way I can save my deepsearch results so that I don't have to keep researching it every time?
[02:50] <mozzarella> how do I restore the defaults?
[02:50] <holstein> mozzarella: you can use a live CD or the guest user to mess about with settings
[02:50] <dw1> spearson: ahh.. well id go for it :)
[02:50] <spearson> dw1 partial upgrade?
[02:50] <holstein> mozzarella: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
[02:50] <dw1> spearson: itd be nice to know what it doesnt like tho
[02:50] <dw1> spearson: yeah
[02:50] <spearson> ya, I'm wondering the same thing
[02:51] <spearson> dw1 is there a command to find out?
[02:51] <hafiz> how unity 8 in trusty tahr...??? any body knows....????
[02:51] <dw1> spearson: ill try to find something
[02:51] <spearson> dw1 thanks
[02:51] <mozzarella> can I change the cursor speed using the command line
[02:52] <holstein> mozzarella: you can reset using the commands in the link
[02:52] <mozzarella> that will reset everything
[02:52] <momoria> except #ubuntu-offtopic, can anyone tell me another chatting room?
[02:52] <rww> momoria: #defocus
[02:53] <xangua> hafiz: it's just a preview and you can try it yourself
[02:53] <xangua> !alis | momoria
[02:53] <holstein> mozzarella: sure, and you can experiment with settings in the guest account or live CD
[02:53] <dw1> spearson: try clicking no/cancel and see if theres more information
[02:53] <dw1> spearson: "When you close the dialogue box it will go back to the update screen with the "partial" items unticked."
[02:54] <momoria> alis? how can i go there?
[02:54] <mozzarella> this is mine: http://i.imgur.com/rMDDQVy.png this is how it's supposed to look: http://i.stack.imgur.com/P2VcX.png
[02:54] <mozzarella> WHY am I missing a bunch of stuff?
[02:54] <dw1> spearson: did you run all normal upgrades before running distribution upgrade?
[02:54] <syeekick> how would i recover passowrds stored on a windows drive in ubuntu?
[02:55] <spearson> dw1 I clicked partial upgrade and it's stuck at fetching file 1582 of 1582 but i'm just going to let it do it's thing
[02:55] <dw1> spearson: ok good luck :)
[02:55] <holstein> mozzarella: could be the hardware doesnt support settings in linux that you are seeking
[02:55] <mozzarella> that's crazy talk
[02:55] <mozzarella> WHY wouldn't it
[02:56] <holstein> mozzarella: because they dont suppot linux.. its quite plausible
[02:56] <spearson> dw1 I did before cups-client and cups held up the installation and failed so I removed cups and the update installed and downloaded fine
[02:56] <holstein> mozzarella: those settings have nothing to do with the global menu
[02:56] <mozzarella> I'm trying to fix my mouse now
[02:56] <mozzarella> I moved on
[02:57] <spearson> dw1 but if the upgrade fails again, maybe I can hit continue to see what updates are there but not sure if much has changed after I last updated. since this is ubuntu they might push updates down the pike faster though
[02:58] <holstein> mozzarella: change what you like in that menu.. plug a mouse in if it helps you change the settings you have misconfigured
[02:58] <lotuspsychje> morning to all
[02:59] <dw1> spearson: If you had waited I might have suggested http://j.mp/1lYzsIK or http://j.mp/S04TJX, for future reference :)
[02:59] <glenn__> hey, how can i change my account of usr to root ?
[02:59] <bob_> quick question too...
[02:59] <spearson> hmmm
[02:59] <lotuspsychje> !root | glenn__
[02:59] <bob_> i'm trying to install 14.04 MAAS....installed on first machine....on second machine everytime i put first machine's IP the computer shuts down
[03:00] <glenn__> thanks :D
[03:00] <glenn__> And how can I get the gnome display properties ?
[03:02] <dw1> spearson: with just a little luck you wont have a serious problem
[03:03] <dw1> spearson: not sure why it would reach file 1582 of 1582 so quickly though, that's sort of weird
[03:03] <spearson> dw1 thanks and I hope the partial upgrade works
[03:03] <dw1> spearson: should take more time to download them all
[03:04] <dw1> spearson: any error messages in the message window?
[03:05] <spearson> dw1 nope. preparing to upgrade has a green check next to it and it's now  stuck or what it looks like on getting new packages
[03:05] <spearson> dw1 fetching file 1582 of 1582
[03:06] <dw1> spearson: no activity?
[03:07] <spearson> dw1 ya
[03:07] <dw1> spearson: ya no ?
[03:07] <dw1> spearson: strange
[03:08] <spearson> dw1 I did this on another machine via a virtual machine and it stalled like this so I left it and then finished and installed and I’m up to date
[03:08] <dw1> spearson: ok...
[03:08] <spearson> dw1, ya = yes no activity. strange indeed.
[03:09] <dw1> spearson: id be tempted to kill it
[03:10] <spearson> dw1 should I? what should I do next, see if they are any updates
[03:10] <dw1> spearson: i would try those two commands from the links
[03:11] <spearson> dw1, ok
[03:11] <spearson> dw1, also I'm going to kill it
[03:11] <dw1> spearson: alt-f2 -> xkill then click it might kill it.....
[03:11] <dw1> spearson: no warranty
[03:12] <spearson> dw1 I just cancelled it
[03:13] <dw1> spearson: if it didnt start upgrading anything should be fine
[03:14] <dw1> spearson: but perhaps should avoid that apt-get -f command
[03:14] <dw1> spearson: if the repos have changed
[03:14] <spearson> dw1, doing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade now
[03:15] <spearson> dw1 what does this command do? does it upgrade to 14.04 or install what updates are available first?
[03:15] <dw1> spearson: upgrade
[03:15] <spearson> ok
[03:15] <dw1> spearson: no sense updating then replacing :)
[03:15] <Flannel> spearson: No, it doesn't upgrade you to 14.04.
[03:15] <spearson> dw1 ok its asking install these package with verification? y/n
[03:16] <dw1> spearson: "No, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will not upgrade to a new Ubuntu release. It will just install available updates for the Ubuntu release you already have installed." oh
[03:16] <Flannel> But that is an important part of upgrading to a newer release.
[03:17] <dw1> spearson: should be ok to say Yes since you gracefully cancelled the upgrade before
[03:17] <spearson> dw1 gotchs
[03:18] <dw1> spearson: the commandlien for upgrade to 14.04 would be sudo do-release-upgrade
[03:19] <dw1> spearson: perhaps try that sudo apt-get -f install before that since you might have broken things
[03:19] <spearson> dw1 okay
[03:20] <Flannel> spearson: Please read (and follow) this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TrustyUpgrades
[03:22] <spearson> dw1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7349754/
[03:23] <spearson> dw1 I wish things were smooth and didn't have to experience these issues :)
[03:23] <dw1> spearson: yeah i dont know what you did to that machine :P
[03:23] <dw1> spearson: well we know how to fix that
[03:23] <dw1> spearson: remember
[03:24] <spearson> dw1 the thing is, nothing I don't believe I installed anything wonky that would mess anything up
[03:26] <spearson> dw1 do you recommend that I see if there any updates and update or do you want to fix the issues I'm having now?
[03:28] <dw1> spearson: if you do sudo rm -fR /var/lib/apt/lists/* to fix the hash mismatch, like before, sudo apt-get -f install to fix any weird things, and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to update all packages you should be all set to release upgrade ...
[03:32] <spearson> dw1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/7349784/
[03:32] <dw1> spearson: so now try the software-updater release upgrade or sudo do-release-upgrade in terminal again
[03:33] <dw1> spearson: still asking 'partial upgrade'?
[03:34] <spearson> dw1:  it's checking for updates now  hang tight
[03:38] <spearson> dw1, yup it's asking partial upgrade
[03:39] <dw1> spearson: hmm
[03:40] <spearson> dw1, it bugs me why it's not simple. You upgrade and bam your good to go
[03:41] <JCM83> I kind of want to shut down all functions of my machine except Transmission, for awhile, to save power. Is there a good way to do this?
[03:42] <noioppoina> anybody using silicone keyboard?
[03:42] <dw1> spearson: cancel it this time i guess since it probably wont work again
[03:43] <spearson> dw1 do you recommend that I wait a few days or something?
[03:44] <dw1> spearson: any errors if you do sudo apt-get update ?
[03:46] <spearson> dw1, no errors that I can see. you want me to pastebin the results?
[03:46] <dw1> spearson: any weird things like two different versions of ubuntu in the apt-get update list ?
[03:46] <macscam1> hey any advice about dealing with bugs in 14.04? Should I actually try and fix stuff? or will submitting error reports take care of it??
[03:48] <spearson> dw1: here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/7349848/
[03:48] <rww> macscam1: report it, try and fix it, if you actually fix it add that info to the bug report
[03:49] <dw1> spearson: oh you have trusty repos.. :/
[03:49] <dw1> spearson: thats not your current version....
[03:49] <dw1> spearson: so it makes sense -f install and dist-upgrade did nothing
[03:50] <spearson> dw1 hmmm. trusty reppos? is that a bad thing
[03:50] <user_> susie
[03:50] <dw1> spearson: thats the version you are upgrading to, so you shouldnt have them before the upgrade process
[03:51] <dw1> spearson: what is your version? cat /etc/*release*
[03:51] <spearson> 13.10
[03:52] <spearson> dw1 paste.ubuntu.com/7349867/
[03:52] <macscam1> so how do i make a printer work? it shows up and i can print a test page OK but it gets stuck processing any actual document
[03:56] <dw1> spearson: make your /etc/apt/sources.list look like this http://pastebin.com/5urDqMsea
[03:58] <spearson> dw1 it says this paste has been removed
[03:58] <dw1> spearson: http://pastebin.com/5urDqMse
[03:58] <spearson> got it
[03:58] <dw1> sorry
[03:59] <dw1> spearson: then do the sudo rm -fR /var/lib/apt/lists/*; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; again
[03:59] <dw1> spearson: and maybe an extra sudo apt-get -f install for good measure. :)
[03:59] <dw1> spearson: not sure the best order
[04:00] <dw1> spearson: wait.. sudo apt-get update first
[04:00] <dw1> spearson: or after the rm. :)
[04:01] <spearson> dw1: how would I make /etc/apt/sources.list look what you provided? what is the command to edit or make it the default
[04:01] <dw1> gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:01] <dw1> err
[04:01] <deepfield> Is there someone that can help me install the best graphics drivers? I downloaded the catalyst control center but im not sure that its really using them
[04:01] <dw1> spearson: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:03] <spearson> dw1 got the file open do you want me to delete the contents and replace it with what you provided?
[04:03] <dw1> spearson: yep
[04:04] <korra> hi guys, I just tried ubuntu 14.04 on a hidpi display and the UI scaling doesn't seem to affect some menus and text like http://i.imgur.com/JyX7PmB.jpg
[04:04] <korra> can anyone confirm this happening to them or am I doing something wrong?
[04:04] <spearson> dw1 there are two boxes do I use the first one or both?
[04:04] <dw1> spearson: just one, they're the same
[04:04] <FredddyTom> are there any significant UI imporvements in unity between 12.04 and 14.04?
[04:05] <dw1> spearson: pastebin silliness
[04:05] <dw1> spearson: then save and close, and one by one: sudo rm -fR /var/lib/apt/lists/*; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo apt-get -f install;
[04:05] <spearson> dw1: hmm. I deleted the contents and pasted what you provided and saved it
[04:07] <spearson> dw1: doing what you said above now
[04:09] <spearson> dw1 do you want me to pastebin the results or not?

[04:09] <hfp> Hi, I'm planning on installing Ubuntu 14.04 on my mid-2009 Macbook Pro alongside with Win7 and Mavericks. Anything I should know before I start so I don't screw things up?
[04:10] <hfp> (Win7 and Mavericks are already installed)
[04:10] <VlperX> wtf
[04:10] <spearson> dw1: here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/7349928/
[04:10] <rww> VlperX: looks like someone pasted stuff into the channel by accident
[04:11] <dw1> spearson: uneventful :-/
[04:11] <dw1> spearson: welp, try the upgrade again I guess
[04:11] <awesomess3> hfp, you could use a liveUSB for running Ubuntu 14.04
[04:12] <hfp> awesomess3: Interesting, how do I do that?  I haven't been able to enable writeable space on the USB key, so if you turn off your machine, you have to start with a new session the next time you boot from the USB.
[04:15] <awesomess3> hfp, which I like because it gets rid of any malware what-so-ever.
[04:15] <hfp> awesomess3: Thanks, but can I install it to my HDD from the LiveUSB?
[04:16] <awesomess3> hfp, yes.
[04:16] <awesomess3> hfp, however, if you have a partition for windows 7 and maverick, I don't know the instructions to install with those partitions side-by-side.
[04:16] <orbisvicis> two things on my 14.04 system are setting up a bridge interface, one ifupdown (ifup -a, /etc/init/networking.conf), and the other I can't which is a royal headache since it breaks ifupdown
[04:16] <hfp> awesomess3: Ok, and installing it as a third OS along with Win7 and Mavericks won't mess anything up?
[04:16] <spearson> hfp: I have a dual boot of OS X and ubuntu on my Macbook but not all three
[04:17] <orbisvicis> I've ruled out conflict between upstart / init networking{.conf,} scripts, and any breakage in /etc/networks/
[04:17] <hfp> I see. I want to try Ubuntu and see if I'm ready to ditch OS X altogether for everyday and work use
[04:17] <orbisvicis> also, this mysterious second component only recreate the bridge on reboot **if** it previously existed, ie I can manually deconfigure the bridge before restart and ifupdown hence runs unimpeded
[04:18] <spearson> hfp: I use rEFInd as a boot manager. Interesting. I like ubuntu but still keep going to OS X sometimes
[04:19] <orbisvicis> *can't find
[04:19] <awesomess3> I like my windows. I like my liveUSB xubuntu. Never tried OS X, sounds cool.
[04:19] <spearson> dw1: it's stuck on fetching file 1582 of 1582 but I'm going to let it go and do it's thing
[04:20] <spearson> awesomesse: apple.com/osx
[04:20] <dw1> spearson: and it said partial upgrade again ?
[04:20] <spearson> dw1: nope
[04:20] <dw1> spearson: cool
[04:20] <dw1> spearson: k hope it works g/l :)
[04:20] <hfp> spearson: My MBP is dying and I just found out that the 2000+$ newer MBP don't even have ethernet... They require a 60$ adapter to have an ethernet jack. So I'm seriously considering ditching OS X but I want to make sure before
[04:21] <joshlegs_> are HPs good with linux compatibility
[04:21] <joshlegs_> I have to grab a new laptop tomorrow and want something with good support
[04:21] <spearson> hfp: you should have both ubuntu and os x together just in case
[04:21] <spearson> awesomess3: apple.com/osx
[04:22] <hfp> spearson: Yes, but I also need to keep Win7 because some games and apps only run in Windows
[04:22] <genophy> what about thinkpad?
[04:22] <spearson> hfp: give rEFInd a shot, it's a boot manager that will let you select which OS to boot from
[04:22] <joshlegs_> genophy: i havent looked at those before. might not be a bad idea
[04:23] <genophy> :)
[04:23] <awesomess3> joshlegs_, my dell works good 2013 inspiron from wal-mart. I'm running a liveUSB of XUbuntu 13.10.
[04:23] <joshlegs_> awesomess3: cool. i thought dells were also decent for linux suppot
[04:23] <hfp> awesomess3: OS X is nice to use but the Apple tax is heafty and the choices they make for you because design are more and more ridiculous. I mean no ethernet jack on a 2000+$ laptop?
[04:23] <spearson> hfp: I think I used disk utility to create a partition for ubuntu and followed the steps for my Macbook
[04:23] <awesomess3> hfp, no ethernet?!  aaahhhh!
[04:24] <spearson> awesomess3: apple.com/osx to learn more about the operating system
[04:24] <awesomess3> spearson, yeah but they only talk about upgrading. I'll check with #osx
[04:25] <twocarlo> awesomess3: you can use virtual box on mac and put ubuntu on it
[04:26] <spearson> I use VMware Fusion to run a virtual machine of ubuntu and decided to do a dual boot of both for fun to get the full experience of ubuntu
[04:27] <awesomess3> spearson, full experience of ubuntu by installing on the hard-drive? what do you mean by 'full experience'?
[04:28] <joshlegs_> does ubuntu work with touch screen laptops yet?
[04:28] <spearson> awesomess3: boot into Ubuntu rather than use it in a virtual machine
[04:29] <joshlegs_> or will putting iit on a touchscreen machine muck stuff up?
[04:30] <hfp> awesomess3: UNetbootin refuses to see my USB key
[04:30] <spearson> hfp: what format is your key in?
[04:30] <hfp> spearson: I tried none and OSX
[04:31] <spearson> hfp are you using your usb key as a live usb?
[04:31] <django> whats the word proccessor on ubuntu called
[04:32] <joshlegs_> django: gedit?
[04:32] <django> found it lol
[04:32] <hfp> spearson: I'm in OS X trying to create a LiveUSB with UNetbootin
[04:32] <django> libreoffice writer
[04:32] <twocarlo> hfp:UNetbootin cant boot to uefi booting
[04:32] <spearson> hfp: try this
[04:32] <awesomess3> django, abiword I like too
[04:33] <spearson> hfp: Mac Linuc USB Loader
[04:33] <spearson> hfp: Mac Linux USB Loader*
[04:34] <awesomess3> twocarlo, hfp unetbootin works for me in uefi booting.
[04:35] <hfp> It seems to only see FAT partitions
[04:35] <spearson> hfp: that allowed me to create a bootable LiveUSB of Ubuntu http://sevenbits.github.io/Mac-Linux-USB-Loader/
[04:35] <pietro10> Hi. Here's a weird issue that happens on kubuntu 14.10, and also happens on ubuntu gnome 14.10: package devhelp: the left navigation pane is scrolled horizontally to the right and I can't get it ligned up properly again. Has anyone else noticed this? I tried asking the GTK+ channel but they haven,t so I thought I'd try here. Thanks.
[04:36] <awesomess3> pietro10, do you mean 14.04?
[04:36] <hfp> spearson, awesomess3: I formatted to FAT and can use UNetbootin now.
[04:36] <hfp> I'll reboot and try it.
[04:36] <spearson> hfp: cool, good luck
[04:36] <pietro10> awesomess3: right
[04:36] <hfp> spearson: Thanks. I'm going to go the LiveUSB way for now with persistent storage
[04:37] <Nothing_Much> I'm having a problem with publishing a review on the Ubuntu Software Center
[04:37] <spearson> dw1: still on fetching file but i'm patient  and will let it do its thing :)
[04:37] <awesomess3> hfp, I couldn't get my persistence to work when using unetbootin with UEFI BIOS booting. But, I wish you luck with that. :]
[04:38] <hfp> Thanks, I'll report back
[04:38] <awesomess3> hfp, try saving something to the desktop, rebooting and see if the file is still there.
[04:39] <Nothing_Much> I'm having a problem with publishing a review on the Ubuntu Software Center, it says Check your log, where is the log?
[04:39] <hfp> Will do, when UNetbootin is done
[04:39] <spearson> hfp: if it doesn't boot or comes up with the black screen with the flashing white line. use Mac Linux USB Loader. It worked perfectly for me :)
[04:39] <hfp> spearson: Noted
[04:40] <Nothing_Much> Anybody?
[04:40] <pietro10> actually my devhelp install seems to be screwed inother ways too, hmmmm
[04:40] <spearson> hfp: I tried other programs and they didn't create the right kind of boot file or someting
[04:42] <awesomess3> Nothing_Much, maybe try upgrading it?  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install software-center
[04:43] <Nothing_Much> awesomess3: Was there an upgrade to the software center recently?
[04:43] <awesomess3> Nothing_Much, not on 13.10
[04:44] <Nothing_Much> Oh wait, is 14.04 out yet?
[04:44] <awesomess3> yes
[04:44] <spearson> yes, trying to upgrade to it from 13.10 now
[04:44] <Nothing_Much> It says I'm on 14.04 LTS
[04:44] <Nothing_Much> huh.
[04:45] <awesomess3> this is how I felt when 14.04 came out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIleORMkSeU
[04:46] <Nothing_Much> lol
[04:47] <Nothing_Much> Oh there's a bug
[04:47] <Nothing_Much> That appeared 2 days ago

[04:51] <sohail_> any ubuntu developers out there??
[04:53] <Matthew_Moore_> Hey guys. i am having an issue.  the Ubuntu 14.04 live cd wont boot.    ubuntu server 14.04 will. Xubuntu, and Kubuntu will.  But not Ubuntu.  any ideas?
[04:53] <cfhowlett> !details|Matthew_Moore_ "won't boot" = ???
[04:54] <Lucax> Hello everyone, I want to make a backup in my ubuntu gnome 14.04 and I get the report: backup failed, unable to connect to backend
[04:54] <netyire> Lucax: Hello, I'm netyire! I'll be happy to help you today! (What backup program are you using?)
[04:55] <Lucax> thank yoou netyire, let me see
[04:55] <spearson> Netyire: hi nice to see you again
[04:55] <netyire> spearson: :-P
[04:55] <twocarlo>  /j #clonezilla
[04:55] <Lucax> I just have an icon with a picture of a safe and it is called backups
[04:57] <Lucax> netiyre: it seems like the program is just called backups
[04:58] <Conna> ....
[04:58] <awesomess3> Matthew_Moore_, what type of computer/laptop/* are you using?
[04:58] <styles> hey guys I can't get the full disc encryption on ubuntu 14.04 to show up when I start my system. It's just a grey screen that goes to black
[04:59] <styles> Any clue what might be causing this?
[05:00] <netyire> Lucax: I am unable to locate documentation on this specific error, but recommend using an alternative like grsync in the meantime?
[05:01] <awesomess3> styles, I'm assuming you followed the guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto
[05:01] <styles> 14.04 came with the option
[05:01] <Lucax> ok, thank you. is grsync avaliable in sc?
[05:01] <styles> I actually didn't have to do anything to get it to work, which makes it slighly hard to understand
[05:03] <netyire> !info grsync
[05:05] <awesomess3> styles, this is complicated!
[05:14] <Lucax> does sync mean the same as backup?
[05:14] <Lucax> rephrasing: what does sync mean?
[05:16] <Yelu> Lucax, this already installed program with the "safe" icon has a { Help ] button on the bottom if you open it. - There you can read "My FIrst Backup" about what to do ... (it's quiet easy)
[05:17] <Lucax> ah ok, I must have overlooked, thanks
[05:17] <spearson> dw1: same error: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/freerdp/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch could nto download the upgades
[05:17] <dw1> spearson: weird
[05:17] <spearson> dw1: do you know what this means and why it's failing?
[05:18] <d1323> how can I actually clear all the text in a terminal window instead of just scrolling down?
[05:18] <d1323> which is what clear does
[05:19] <dw1> spearson: you could try removing it
[05:19] <jules_> why does the maven package need to download 100 other packages, when I can download the maven binary distribution and run it all by itself?
[05:19] <jules_> riddle me this
[05:19] <spearson> dw1: did we already do this or was it something different we did?
[05:19] <spearson> dw1: removing it
[05:20] <dw1> spearson: could be an error in the package ..... https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/28256 dont know
[05:20] <penko> Hi
[05:20] <spearson> Hi
[05:20] <penko> on my lubuntu i can`t install flash player
[05:21] <penko> i try with flashplayer-installer and also try to copy liblfashplayer.so to different places
[05:21] <dw1> spearson: libfreerdp1 is the package name... according to apt-cache search freerdp it is apparently something for connecting to windows
[05:21] <penko> but no luck :(
[05:21] <dw1> spearson: so not really important.. :)
[05:21] <xangua> penko: are you using chromium browser¿
[05:22] <spearson> dw1: you means Microsoft windows right?
[05:22] <penko> chromium can`t start. it is my second problem
[05:22] <dw1> spearson: yeah
[05:22] <penko> so i use firefox
[05:22] <spearson> dw1: I don't have micsoft windows on this machine. Just Ubuntu and OS X
[05:22] <dw1> spearson: it would be for connecting to other machines on a network i guess
[05:22] <dw1> spearson: not sure but id try removing it
[05:23] <dw1> spearson: make sure it doesnt remove anything important with it tho
[05:23] <spearson> dw1: if I remove it, will it just reinstall it from scratch?
[05:23] <xangua> penko: to view flash in chromium: sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[05:23] <dw1> spearson: doubt it
[05:24] <penko> but chromium doesn`t start
[05:24] <spearson> dw1: do you think the version I have is corrupt or something
[05:24] <dw1> spearson: not necessarily
[05:25] <penko> i try to install it vie synaptic - no luck. also download package from their site and install it via gdebi but again no luck
[05:25] <dw1> spearson: just the hash of the file and what repos are reporting it should be is wrong
[05:25] <dw1> spearson: so maybe the package was attacked or something.. hard to say
[05:25] <penko> it give me system program problem detected
[05:25] <spearson> dw1: when I remove cups and cups-client, it let it reinstall where it failed to download before
[05:26] <dw1> spearson: auto installs arent really normal
[05:26] <dw1> spearson: dont know why that happened
[05:26] <spearson> dw1: me either. so you recommend removing the failed package or what
[05:26] <dw1> spearson: i would try it
[05:27] <spearson> dw1: lets do it. what's the command :)
[05:27] <dw1> spearson: but pay attention to make sure it doesnt take a lot of stuff you need with it ... sudo apt-get remove libfreerdp1
[05:28] <spearson> hmmm
[05:28] <dw1> spearson: it will warn about what else it removes
[05:28] <spearson> dw1: can I reinstall it later if I needed it or something?
[05:28] <dw1> spearson: seems here it wants to remove vlc with it.. ouch
[05:29] <dw1> spearson: i like vlc player :)
[05:30] <dw1> spearson: dont know what else to suggest tho
[05:30] <spearson> dw1: for me it's: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7350225/
[05:30] <dw1> spearson: yeah id say its fine
[05:30] <spearson> I didn't remove anything yet
[05:30] <spearson> what will it remove?
[05:31] <dw1> spearson: just a bunch of related stuff
[05:31] <spearson> hmmm
[05:31] <eN_Joy> does Byobu run on X or it can be used in a ssh terminal session?
[05:31] <AndresSM_> no X required
[05:31] <spearson> dw1 it's not going to hurt my system right?
[05:31] <spearson> dw1: going to remove it then
[05:31] <dw1> spearson: its just freerdp stuff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeRDP
[05:31] <dw1> spearson: no warranty :)
[05:31] <eN_Joy> awesome, i'll give it a try... have been using screen for years
[05:32] <dw1> spearson: its for remote desktop connections
[05:32] <ubuntu> hola
[05:32] <dw1> spearson: non-critical
[05:32] <spearson> dw1: removing now. done
[05:32] <spearson> It can always be reinstalled right? will 14.04 come with it or not?
[05:32] <dw1> spearson: yes, dont know
[05:33] <dw1> spearson: hopefully not so we can get past the error eh
[05:33] <spearson> dw1 ok, running update now

[05:48] <spearson> dw1: It's dark and instead of control w, I did control q. Okay
[05:58] <penko> is there other way to install flash player on lubuntu excluding flashplayer-installer, copying libflashplayer.so to some locations and installing restricted extras/addons?
[05:59] <rww> no
[06:00] <rww> chromium doesn't use NPAPI plugins any more I think, hence your troubles
[06:00]  * rww looks for a link
[06:00] <rww> penko: install pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[06:01] <penko> yes. i also install it, but doesn`t work
[06:01] <penko> i need flashplayer for firefox
[06:02] <penko> my chromium doesn`t start :)
[06:02] <rww> flashplugin-installer = flash for firefox
[06:02] <rww> are you installing it while firefox isn't running?
[06:03] <penko> yes. i install it on closed firefox
[06:03] <rww> odd
[06:03] <rww> does it show up in about:plugins?
[06:03] <penko> also try to disable javascript, install it then enable javascript
[06:04] <spearson> dw1: it looks like it's stuck on fetching file and it's late here. can i stop it and do it tomorrow.
[06:06] <penko> may be yes.      File: libflashplayer.so  Path: /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so    Version: <IP_ADDRESS>0   State: Enabled    Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
[06:07] <heartbleed> penko: and https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html says you have no flash player installed?
[06:09] <penko> Your Flash Version  11.2.202                 Your browser name  Firefox     Your Operating System (OS)   Linux
[06:09] <rww> so... you have flash on Firefox then.
[06:09] <penko> it seems ok. but when i open youtube and try to play some clip it show white window
[06:09] <rww> which graphics card do you have?
[06:10] <penko> but on this site after step 5 i don`t see any animation...
[06:10] <penko> radeon 9200
[06:11] <rww> the 11 year old one?
[06:12] <penko> may be.  computer is amd sempron 2500+ (work on 1,7)  with 1gb ram :)
[06:12] <penko> it is old machine...
[06:14] <spearson> dw1: going to hit the sack now.  fyi Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/freerdp/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
[06:14] <spearson> I'll try again tomorrow
[06:14] <ticamai> rww: So, update on last night's wine1.6 issues: Aptitude is installing wine1.6 just fine. It did some thinking, offered a solution, and now I have fully functioning wine1.6. apt-get isn't working for various other packages as well, fglrx for one
[06:16] <ticamai> scratch that, aptitude apparently just installed everything except wine itself
[06:16] <penko> rww,  is old video card my problem?
[06:16]  * jules_ ponders
[06:19] <qin> I am trying to fill thorougty Abuse form for some canadian hosting and wonder how to classify fake "Chesire Constabulary" website attemting to mug me, is it Copyright Infringement or just phishing.
[06:22] <zZzeph> I need help with the newest update regarding crypto wallets
[06:22] <rww> penko: might be. I'm not sure, as I don't have experience with ATI cards from that long ago, so I don't know what performance to expect from them.
[06:23] <rww> qin: go with phishing. usually with IP claims they want you to provide proof it's your property, which it presumably isn't
[06:24] <rww> zZzeph: specifically them not being in our repositories, or...?
[06:24] <qin> rww: fine, had moment of meltdown on it, thanks.
[06:25] <zZzeph> rww, libboost_system.so.1.53.0 is missing. Not entirely sure what to do about it.
[06:25] <zZzeph> Wish I could revert haha
[06:25] <zZzeph> it deleted a lot of my libs and idk how to get them back.
[06:25] <zZzeph> rww,
[06:25] <rww> zZzeph: I assume you're compiling from source?
[06:26] <zZzeph> I had alread yhad it compiled, ran the update and now I'm here with it not working. rww
[06:26] <zZzeph> should I just reinstall?
[06:26] <rww> zZzeph: trusty uses libboost-system1.54.0 instead of 1.53.0, so you'd need to recompile, I think
[06:26] <zZzeph> was just hoping for an easier fix
[06:27] <zZzeph> is there a way to downgrade back to saucy or whatever the latter was
[06:27] <zZzeph> or well prior*
[06:27] <zZzeph> rww,
[06:27] <rww> zZzeph: no

[06:29] <zanzacar> tried that
[06:29] <Dreadlish> and what

[06:30] <Dreadlish> sudo rm /etc/sane.d/sharp.conf
[06:30] <Dreadlish> and then try again
[06:31] <zanzacar> now it says i can't overwrite this '/etc/sane.d/hp4200.conf'
[06:31] <zanzacar> should I just remove that as well?

[07:16] <maltahl> How do i make or allow root user in sftp ? im using vsftpd.
[07:20] <apple> Hi everyone
[07:20] <Guest19493> good morning
[07:20] <helmut_> hi
[07:21] <amirtharaj> how to install cvblob on ubuntu?
[07:21] <Guest19493> may i ask for a simple question? I'm using ubuntu 14.04
[07:21] <lovetruth> hello
[07:21] <amirtharaj> please give the answer
[07:21] <Guest19493> There is no /etc/casper.conf ..where i can find it??
[07:21] <lovetruth> I have a question
[07:22] <lovetruth> I am using ubuntu 12.04 server to have internet on this local LAN , using 2 NICs
[07:22] <lovetruth> have been using iptables to route the packes through the 2 NICs
[07:22] <lovetruth> and dns masq for local dns server..
[07:22] <rezahe> Guest19493: mlocate casper
[07:23] <lovetruth> and in resolv.conf I have nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:23] <lovetruth> now:... I can resolve any hostname into IPs... but I cannot ping or connect anyway to any other server!...
[07:23] <lovetruth> any idea?...
[07:25] <Guest19493> notting ---there is not in the new version of ubuntu
[07:26] <Guest19493> i suppose
[07:29] <Ramisat> amirtharaj have you tried sudo apt-get install cvblob?
[07:29] <amirtharaj> tried...but not installed
[07:29] <rezahe> lovetruth: take look https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq maybe any help there
[07:29] <Ramisat> did it find/download the package?
[07:30] <rezahe> Ramisat: /var/cache/apt/archives
[07:30] <rezahe> Guest19493: casper
[07:31] <rezahe> Guest19493: casper, tool for livecd. is that ?
[07:31] <shachaf> Is there a straightforward description of how DNS works in Ubuntu these days?
[07:31] <lovetruth> I don't think it's there the problem, rezahe ... because hostnames are resolved into IPs...
[07:31] <shachaf> I can't get useful information from /etc/resolv.conf, and evidently the DNS servers that I set in network-manager aren't being used, or not exclusively.
[07:32] <Guest19493> yes
[07:33] <Guest19493> yes but when u install the OS on the desktop there is a file named casper.conf
[07:34] <Guest19493> that is in the folder named /etc till the previous version of Ubutnu ...now i have installed
[07:35] <Guest19493> ubuntu 14.04 and there is no /etc/casper.conf i need to modify it couse i have built
[07:35] <Guest19493> some configuraions on my previousely OS
[07:35] <maltahl> How do i make or allow root user in sftp ? im using vsftpd on ubuntu server 14.04 and im open to switch to another ftp
[07:36] <Guest19493> if i don't find it i have to re-install the previouse
[07:37] <Guest19493> *prevouse
[07:37] <zanzacar> so I am having some issues with ubuntu. I install ubuntu-desktop onto my server installation. When I started up ubuntu I get a system error then the screen starts getting really odd
[07:37] <zanzacar> I would like to see what the error is but I don't know what file to look into.
[07:38] <zanzacar> furthermore I was thinking I would go with a lower resource desktop enviroment then ubuntu-desktop since that has all the new fancy features on it.
[07:38] <zanzacar> Does anyone have any recommendation?
[07:38] <Guest19493> anyway it is a file like os-release
[07:39] <bazhang> !lubuntu | zanzacar
[07:40] <zanzacar> I have install lubuntu on my mothers old machine so she can actually get on facebook and what not
[07:40] <zanzacar> I guess I will look into that option since it works just fine from what I could tell
[07:41] <haobug> zanzacar: just install lxde suite from the repository, no need to switch to lubuntu.
[07:42] <zanzacar> lxde suite huh? let me look that up
[07:43] <zanzacar> well sudo apt-get install lxde seems to have worked well
[07:43] <zanzacar> I would rather have the speed then the features.
[07:44] <haobug> zanzacar: that's a virtual package, with all of the components packages need by lxde.
[07:44] <zanzacar> can I just sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop?
[07:44] <zanzacar> haobug: what do you mean by virtual package?
[07:45] <haobug> zanzacar: virtual package mean the package is not actually a package. ;)
[07:45] <zanzacar> oic thats nice of them to set that up.
[07:45] <zanzacar> oic thats nice of them to set that up?
[07:46] <zanzacar> whoops sorry about that
[07:46] <zanzacar> didn't mean to repeat myself
[07:47] <bazhang> haobug, meta-package
[07:47] <zanzacar> I will be back, got to restart the computer. see if all this mumbo jumbo worked. Thanks
[07:47] <bazhang> zanzacar, lubuntu-desktop would bring all of it in
[07:49] <zanzacar> so lxde doesn't bring it all in then?
[07:49] <salsero|2> nop
[07:49] <zanzacar> I guess not now that I am installing a ton of extra stuff
[07:49] <zanzacar> hopefully the lubuntu desktop works better then ubuntu.
[07:50] <zanzacar> I am guessing that I was having some video card problems.
[07:50] <willwork4foo> Hi all. Does anyone here use conky?
[07:50] <haobug> zanzacar: all of them including the font, icons and so on, that ubuntu-desktop already included(so don't try to remove it).
[07:51] <zanzacar> ok sounds good
[07:53] <AviMarcus> Hiya. I had an issue on my screen while using the nvidia-331 driver in a fresh 14.04 install, but in x-neuveou it seems to be fine. It was flickering other open windows into what I was seeing, but upon a click or change it would usually redraw. I couldn't figure out what to call this so I didn't find any bug reports to comment on.
[07:53] <AviMarcus> I used xrandr to add the higher resolution of my second screen that it wouldn't auto-detect and it seems fine now...
[08:04] <haobug> AviMarcus: someone says, the neuveou opensource driver is based on disassembling of nVidia proprietary driver.
[08:06] <django> how can i crop images on ubuntu
[08:07] <bazhang> django, with which software
[08:07] <BPositive> django, use shotwell
[08:07] <StrangeNoises> old-fashioned answer: use gimp. i'm sure there are less overkill apps that can do it, but i don't know them by heart
[08:07] <bazhang> !info shotwell | django
[08:07] <BPositive> the bar at the bottom has a Crop button, quite easy and fast
[08:08] <django> ty
[08:08] <salsero|2> django: use gwenview
[08:08] <BPositive> why not use the inbuilt package, when it serves the purpose? :/
[08:09] <django> with shotwell how do you crop
[08:09] <BPositive> django, the bar at the bottom has a Crop button
[08:10] <haobug> does anyone, shift from windows miss the windows mspaint?
[08:10] <creature> How can I customise the colour of the window title bar in 14.04/Unity?
[08:10] <k1l> haobug: http://askubuntu.com/questions/36577/is-there-a-program-like-microsoft-paint
[08:11] <salsero|2> haobug: hell no
[08:11] <salsero|2> gwenview and gimp serve pretty well
[08:11] <haobug> k1l: pinta is not the same.
[08:12] <k1l> haobug: if you want MS paint only try wine or use MS windows.
[08:12] <haobug> i have searched the web to figure out how to draw a straight line in gimp | salsero|2
[08:12] <django> does the expression practically useless make any snese
[08:12] <StrangeNoises> generally, select the straight-lines tool and start clicking
[08:12] <kay______> holding shift doesn't work?
[08:13] <llutz> haobug: read gimp documentation, pencil, click, hold shift, click again, straight line donw
[08:13] <haobug> k1l: i have tried too. running on top of wine some key combination will stop to work sometime.
[08:13] <llutz> done
[08:14] <haobug> @all, yes after search the result told me that.
[08:14] <k1l> haobug: MS paint is not the only program that can draw a straight line :/
[08:15] <llutz> if that would be a killer-feature, well ...
[08:15] <haobug> k1l: i have used it for years, get used to it... so. llutz, killer-feature haha...
[08:15] <StrangeNoises> there are plenty of close equivalents or better, as that askubuntu link showed. If you absolutely can't bear to have anything even slightly different from MSPaint and can't handle any kind of learning curve, you'd better stick with windows and MSPaint i guess
[08:16] <k1l> haobug: again: we told you several other painting programs or wine to work with MS paint.
[08:18] <haobug> all i want to ask is, does anyone here have interest to make a clone of mspaint?
[08:18] <salsero|2> no thanks
[08:20] <haobug> i am installing the list of equivalents on that page.... :D

[08:21] <james> Hey everyone
[08:21] <Guest1543> anyone wanna chat?
[08:21] <IamTrying> http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/m165 - I have this Bluetooth but in Ubuntu 13.10 i do not see it, is this compatible with Ubuntu ?
[08:22] <k1l> Guest1543: james. for chatting we have #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:24] <greybrd> why do I have to press the "fn" when using function keys like "f5" or "f6" in ubuntu from my hp 450 laptop. why can't I use them as such?
[08:25] <Bray90820> Does ubuntu use mysql for anything other then mythtv
[08:26] <llutz> Bray90820: "apt-cache rdepends mysql-server"
[08:26] <lovetruth> hello
[08:26] <Bray90820> llutz: thanks
[08:26] <Bray90820> How would i remove everything related to mythtv
[08:27] <llutz> Bray90820: aptitude purge '~nmytht' -s
[08:28] <Bray90820> llutz: aptitude command not found
[08:29] <StrangeNoises> use synaptic
[08:29] <llutz> Bray90820: doesnt come with *buntu by default anymore
[08:29] <Bray90820> ok
[08:29] <llutz> Bray90820: apt-get still lacks some features...
[08:30] <Bray90820> So how would i install aptitude
[08:30] <llutz> Bray90820: apt-get install aptitude
[08:30] <llutz> Bray90820: it's still in the repos and working, just doesnt come with *buntu by default
[08:31] <Bray90820> Now i am having an apt-get error
[08:31] <llutz> Bray90820: need to use sudo
[08:32] <Bray90820> llutz: http://pastebin.com/zXFzjVra
[08:32] <k1l> Bray90820: close other programs that use the package management
[08:32] <llutz> Bray90820: software-center or whatever open at the same time?
[08:32] <Bray90820> :P
[08:32] <Bray90820> Synaptic was opened
[08:33] <llutz> why don't you use synaptic then to install things?
[08:34] <ahmet> sa
[08:34] <ahmet> türkçe bilen yokmu

[08:35] <ahmet> şimdi ben xubuntu yükledim daha yeniyim çok ama çok basit birşey sorucam
[08:35] <Bray90820> llutz:
[08:36] <llutz> Bray90820: there is no error, it just tell you, what it _would_ remove
[08:36] <llutz> Bray90820: doesn't looks like you have anything from mythtv installed at all
[08:39] <Bray90820> But when i run the command again i get exactly the same output
[08:39] <Bray90820> llutz:
[08:39] <llutz> Bray90820: remove the "-s"  it just simulates
[08:40] <llutz> Bray90820: it just tells you, what it _would_ remove. gives you time to check if that really is what you want
[08:40] <Bray90820> Ahh Thanks
[08:41] <Bray90820> llutz: you wouldn't happen to have any experience using mythtv would you
[08:41] <llutz> Bray90820: i used it once, didn#t get really familiar with it, removed it, installed good old vdr again. *happy with it*
[08:41] <llutz> Bray90820: so no, cannot help with mythtv
[08:42] <Bray90820> llutz: Is vdr still even in existence
[08:43] <llutz> Bray90820: yes, more or less
[08:43] <Bray90820> Is it still under active development
[08:43] <llutz> Bray90820: i use e-Tobis vdr-repo with debian
[08:43] <llutz> Bray90820: afaik it is
[08:44] <Bray90820> You wouldn't happen to know if it supports hdhr prime would you
[08:45] <llutz> Bray90820: idk
[08:45] <Bray90820> llutz: what did you use it with
[08:46] <llutz> Bray90820: i only use it with a simple dvb-s card to record some tv (mostly sd) from time to time
[08:46] <Bray90820> Ahh I wanted something with hdhomerun prime support that was actually understandable
[08:46] <llutz> and after some months i remove all those recordings unseen, because i haven't the time to watch them
[08:47] <Bray90820> I was using windows media center but that is not under active development anymore
[08:49] <Bray90820> if i can't get mythtv working i may just have to stick with windows media center
[08:49] <Bray90820> UGH
[08:49] <llutz> Bray90820: mythtv has a big community, no help in their channels?
[08:49] <Bray90820> They arnt to nice in there
[08:50] <Bray90820> The guy was yelling at me because i said there was an icon for mythtv
[08:51] <Fanthomas90> hi!
[08:52] <Fanthomas90> Does anybody know a way to mount a certain folder - lets say /srv/ftp/share - to all homes where the users are in the group "share"?
[08:53] <Fanthomas90> I came as far as using a bind mount, but the part depending on the group seems quite hard... :)
[08:55] <Yelu> Fanthomas90, isn't it just "sudo chown root:share <target>" and "sudo chmod 640 <target>" on that <target> mount?
[08:56] <Yelu> Fanthomas90, sorry meant 750 for the chmod
[08:58] <Fanthomas90> Yelu: I mean to let my system automatically determine who is in the group "share" and mount the share it into their homes (/home/$user/share)... The rights shouldn't be the trouble there...
[08:59] <llutz> Fanthomas90: for name in $(getent group plugdev|awk -F\: '{print $NF}'|sed 's/,/ /');do echo "mount -bind /srv/ftp/share ~$name/share";done
[08:59] <llutz> Fanthomas90: for name in $(getent group share|awk -F\: '{print $NF}'|sed 's/,/ /');do echo "mount -bind /srv/ftp/share ~$name/share";done

[09:00] <[SUCK]> Now, I created VM with dynamic virtual harddrive
[09:01] <Fanthomas90> llutz: seems alright! :) thanks! Do you have any suggestions on where to run this from on boot?
[09:01] <[SUCK]> But I want my original (not virtual) harddrives to be detected by this VM
[09:01] <[SUCK]> So, how can I?
[09:02] <[SUCK]> I can't find any settings for it in VM VirtualBox...
[09:02] <Yelu> Fanthomas90, okay, I see. it helps to add something like this to /etc/rc.local

[09:05] <CaptainQuirk> I'm using git on a project
[09:05] <bazhang> [SUCK], try #vbox
[09:05] <CaptainQuirk> on first use, when pushing code through ssh, ubuntu asks for my passphrase
[09:06] <CaptainQuirk> unfortunately, I used a wrong passphrase but it stays linked to my ssh key although the git operation failed

[09:23] <eutheria> hi, is the a limit to the length of a user name before it is changed to its uid in ps axu?
[09:27] <genesis777> Hello.
[09:27] <genesis777> The situation as follows:
[09:27] <genesis777> I bought VPS with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS installation, installed ubuntu-desktop and configured VNC server.
[09:27] <genesis777> I want to use it as a remote desktop and I need to connect to VPN from that very server.
[09:27] <genesis777> Here's the point: when I connect to VPN the server crashes
[09:27] <genesis777> What should I do to fix it?
[09:27] <genesis777> I'm pretty sure that it should work because this is the second server and the first runs smoothly
[09:31] <rushboy> Hello I am working with JBox2D and I am using Eclipse IDE. This is the code I am running but it still gives me errors : http://johnsogg.blogspot.in/2011/10/box2d-in-java-hello-world.html
[09:31] <rushboy> I just did the import of the jars as stated in the wiki here : https://code.google.com/p/jbox2d/wiki/QuickStart
[09:39] <Lucax> it seems there is nothing unusal about the processes in the system monitor, still I must say things go slow here
[09:40] <x00-k2> whats going on
[09:41] <hateball> Lucax: What things are slow? Opening a browser? A bit more detail helps :)
[09:42] <Lucax> browsing and handling programs
[09:42] <x00-k2> whats your system specs
[09:43] <Lucax> I am multitasking, having a window up here, one there, opening the webbrowser, etc, this all is quite slow, f.eks, when I open a program there is a slight delay and sometimes the system hangs a little bit before it recovers, sometimes it even crashes complety (rare but it has happened)
[09:44] <x00-k2> any errors on startup?
[09:46] <x00-k2> open a terminal and type " sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10 "
[09:46] <x00-k2> an post results
[09:47] <StrangeNoises> sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10
[09:47] <StrangeNoises> i think you'll find
[09:47] <StrangeNoises> and remember that won't persist over a reboot, need to change /etc/sysctl.conf
[09:48] <sokoli> hi. ubuntu's code name starts with following letters, eg Precise Pangolin (P), Quantal Quetzal (Q), Raring Ringtail (R)… what's going to happen after 'z'? is it going to be 'a' again?

[09:55] <x00-k2> well i was replyng to mobbo
[09:55] <x00-k2> for evolution
[09:56] <rchavik> oh.. ok.. sorry
[09:56] <x00-k2> I could suggest the same for x  tho
[09:56] <x00-k2> or uninstall x reinstall and dpkg-reconfigure -xserver-common
[09:57] <c1ph3rx> quit
[09:57] <c1ph3rx> exit
[09:57] <c1ph3rx> exit

[09:57] <x00-k2> i would trying purging the conf files before trying that
[09:57] <rchavik> ok
[09:57] <Wobbo> Gnome has a newer version, 03.12.1 in stead of 03.10
[09:57] <x00-k2> what flavor are you using
[09:57] <rchavik> thanks.. giving it a go now
[09:58] <rchavik> i'm using trusty 14.04
[09:58] <rchavik> originally with gnome 3.10
[09:58] <x00-k2> what graphics card
[09:58] <x00-k2> nvidia or ati?
[09:58] <smog> hello
[09:58] <rchavik> nvidia gt740m
[09:59] <x00-k2> oh lemme check sometimes the noveau driver conflicts with the propietary drivers
[09:59] <x00-k2> do you know which one you used before?
[09:59] <Wobbo> Reinstalling has not solved the problem.
[09:59] <Wobbo> I have this on all my Ubuntu 14.04
[10:00] <rchavik> x00-k2, i think it was using the intel card with bumblebeed
[10:01] <jamieshepherd> Hi guys, up until about an hour ago the command :  route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> dev ppp0 would work to route traffic to my Uni's VPN from my VPS (after I do pon plymuni)
[10:01] <jamieshepherd> However, now whenever I enter this command the whole VPS freezes
[10:01] <x00-k2> i was reading yesterday the nvidia-common driver should be the one for that card
[10:01] <rchavik> x00-k2, ok.. will try reconfiguring now.. thanks a lot!
[10:01] <x00-k2> so i would proceed to purge your x and reinstall with nvidia common and see
[10:02] <x00-k2> i had the same problem in the past
[10:02] <x00-k2> np
[10:04] <x00-k2> Wobbo im not sure Ive got plenty of programs that dont work on 14.04 and just grabbed the dependencies from past repos and reinstalled with them and they worked perfect, ex. splashtop streamer
[10:04] <x00-k2> i have never used evolution but i guess i could try installing it and see
[10:06] <x00-k2> are you speaking of the data server or the mail client
[10:10] <simone> Hello to all

[11:18] <sergio_lopes> BananaBob_ Thanks. is it possible to mount a single file?
[11:18] <sergio_lopes> somthing like: sshfs operator@remote:/home1/file.php  /local/file.php
[11:18] <sergio_lopes> is it possible to do this?
[11:20] <BananaBob_> sergio: Not sure on that, i dont think so. But it would work to mount the fs containing the file somewhare else on the target machine and then link to it?
[11:21] <sergio_lopes> BananaBob_ Thanks! i'll try that

[11:34] <x00-k2> lmao
[11:34] <kshroom> and have no medibuntu repo at all
[11:34] <x00-k2> guess the root password roflmao
[11:34] <kshroom> what can I do?
[11:35] <cfhowlett> kshroom medibuntu has been dead for some time.  wat are you trying to accomplish?
[11:35] <kshroom> updating the repos
[11:35] <abhvym> hateball, they demand my publish ssh key to add to my new purchased ubuntu vps. i asked give me password based. they say ubuntu 14.04 comes with only ssh keybased login for root.
[11:35] <StrangeNoises> was just thinking; i haven't felt the need for medibuntu for the last few releases
[11:35] <kshroom> i looked for the error on google, told me it was a medibuntu issue
[11:35] <abhvym> !pastebin | kshroom
[11:35] <cfhowlett> kshroom remove the references/sources to medibuntu.  get your multimedia stuff from restricted-extras
[11:36] <abhvym> hateball, they enabled root login using ssh key. is it wrong?
[11:36] <StrangeNoises> it's not considered best practice
[11:36] <cfhowlett> kshroom google should also have informed you that medibuntu is DEAD
[11:37] <hateball> abhvym: Well it's not best practice, but using key is a lot better than password at least
[11:37] <cfhowlett> kshroom but don't take my word for it ...
[11:37] <kshroom> i have no references to medibuntu
[11:37] <abhvym> hateball, does that mean this hosting provider is not good?
[11:37] <cfhowlett> !info medibuntu
[11:38] <abhvym> hateball, or any way i give them ssh key login as root then create non root sudo account and add ssh key bor that account to increase security?
[11:38] <abhvym> for*
[11:38] <StrangeNoises> uh, don't think it ever was a package as such :-)
[11:39] <hateball> abhvym: I have no idea what your provider could do or not
[11:39] <kshroom> this is the exact error:
[11:39] <kshroom> http://pastebin.com/GPCg8YNb
[11:39] <abhvym> hateball, okey.
[11:39] <abhvym> nvm.
[11:39] <iceroot> !trusty
[11:40] <kshroom> any idea what can  do?
[11:40] <kshroom> *i*
[11:43] <BananaBob_> how do i set the default wallpaper for all users logging on to my 12.04? not the greeter, but just the wallpaper on a fresh login on a new user
[11:43] <OpenTokix> Hello, anyone know if there is something special about /etc/network/interfaces in 14.04 - I cant seem to get my up /sbin/ip-commands to work
[11:45] <rom1504> BananaBob_: /etc/skel
[11:46] <rom1504> you need to put something there, exactly what you need depends on your desktop environment
[11:47] <BananaBob_> rom1504: what do you mean, adda ascript there? There are schemas for it to use but i can only find schema for the greeter. (running unity)
[11:50] <BananaBob_> such as /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.unity-greeter.gschema.xml. Changeing that will change the default greeter page for unity atleast
[11:50] <BananaBob_> but the default wallpaper is nowhere to be found :P
[11:51] <rom1504> I guess you need to find how unity store the wallpaper settings
[11:51] <rom1504> a few search on google give nothing interesting, but it has to be stored somewhere
[11:53] <melwyn> just a very quick question, would you recommend to update from 13.10 to 14.04 or do a reinstall? thanks!
[11:53] <rom1504> update worked fine for me
[11:54] <x00-k2> 13.1 to 14.04
[11:54] <rom1504> a lot better than 13.04 to 13.10
[11:54] <melwyn> thanks! i'll give it a try then. hope it supports the higher dpi screens as mentioned
[11:54] <x00-k2> i did a complete sweep through 12.04-12.10-13.04-13.10-14.04 and it worked great
[11:55] <x00-k2> took almost a day and a half though
[11:55] <stetho> Hi all. Does anyone know if there's a way that during a PXE install (or other method) using a KickStart file I can specify the install of a different kernel (3.2.0-56-generic in this case) and make it the default for grub to boot from? I'm currently scripting an apt-get install of the kernel and then rewriting the grub config with cat and I think I'm just asking for trouble doing this BUT I can't see a better way. Any suggestions?
[11:55] <StrangeNoises> er, if you started from 12.04 you should have been able to do an LTS jump straight to 14.04...
[11:56] <x00-k2> well it didnt it went through all of em
[11:56] <StrangeNoises> you must have just had it set up to allow non-LTS upgrades
[11:56] <x00-k2> yeah i did
[11:56] <StrangeNoises> you'd need to tell it LTS only
[11:56] <x00-k2> i needed packages from quantal and precise for all my programs to work correctly
[11:59] <qiyong> vsftpd doesn't start. where to check the log?
[12:01] <salsero|2> inside /var/log
[12:01] <salsero|2> there should a file named vsftpd.log or a folder
[12:02] <qiyong> status vsftpd
[12:02] <qiyong> vsftpd start/running
[12:02] <qiyong> vsftpd.log isn't touched
[12:03] <ubuntuser13> OALD8  installed,but unable to run it
[12:03] <qiyong> upstart is buggy i think
[12:03] <qiyong> salsero|2:
[12:03] <thesbn>  Hi there #ubuntu
[12:03] <BananaBob_> qiyong: check this, seems same issue due to configuration issues: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux/103915-vsftpd-logging.html
[12:03] <thesbn> ECHO qiyong: check this, seems same issue due to configuration issues: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux/103915-vsftpd-logging.html
[12:03] <StrangeNoises> look at /etc/vsftpd.conf. istr the default makes it pretty much do nothing, so you don't inadvertendly open your server up just by installing it
[12:03] <thesbn> ECHO look at /etc/vsftpd.conf. istr the default makes it pretty much do nothing, so you don't inadvertendly open your server up just by installing it
[12:04] <spearson> dw1: Hi
[12:04] <thesbn>  Hi there #ubuntu
[12:04] <thesbn>  Hi there #ubuntu
[12:05] <thesbn>  Hi there #ubuntu
[12:05] <goneeuro> Hi guys. Quick question. what is the easiest way to resize a conky?
[12:05] <thesbn>  Hi there #ubuntu
[12:06] <qiyong> BananaBob_: vsftpd process doesn't exist at all
[12:07] <qiyong> StrangeNoises: i can start vsftpd manually by # vsftpd
[12:07] <qiyong> but start vsftpd doesn't work
[12:08] <Mega1> why would my network stop working when i turn ubuntu server
[12:08] <BananaBob_> check syslog_enable in the conf file, perhaps you can see somethign there after upstart of the machine
[12:09] <abhvym> Mega1, turn as in physically rotate the server or turt off the server ?
[12:09] <x00-k2> sometimes network servers stop working just because the time setting is incorrect
[12:09] <x00-k2> UTP or NTP
[12:09] <Mega1> power up would be better
[12:10] <qiyong> BananaBob_: nothing
[12:10] <Mega1> i can connect to the server but the connection is slow but the internet is slow on all other pcs
[12:11] <BananaBob_> Mega1: some strange service that you installed on the server that crashes with the routers services (dhcp or something perhaps?)
[12:12] <Mega1> only thing on server is shh, and apche, ftp
[12:12] <Mega1> i did not install anything else
[12:12] <x00-k2> dnsmasq?
[12:13] <Mega1> could some be attacking my server
[12:13] <Mega1> and how would i know
[12:13] <x00-k2> wireshark
[12:14] <x00-k2> and youll have a complete view of all communications
[12:14] <x00-k2> youll be able to debug the communications with that program
[12:14] <spearson> I'm trying to upgrade to 14.04 from 13.10 and keep getting this error: Could not download the upgrades. Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/freerdp/libfreerdp1_1.0.2-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch
[12:15] <BananaBob_> Mega1: turn of your router and start up the server. If its not slow then, there are conflicting services id say
[12:15] <BananaBob_> spearson: if your not behind a proxy of your onw, try another mirror
[12:15] <spearson> ok
[12:16] <spearson> bananaBob_: so choose another server closer to me
[12:16] <BananaBob_> yup :)
[12:17] <holden87> Hi. Just wondering, what's the password for 14.04 live dvd, when i want to logout and log back in?

[12:17] <sarkesh> live dvd has no password. maybe
[12:19] <mashu> how do i change the screen configuration/layout on my login screen?
[12:20] <bigred15> mashu: I think you can do it using the dconf editor
[12:20] <spearson> BananaBob: that did it
[12:20] <bigred15> but I believe that's only the background
[12:21] <spearson> BananaBob: Its installing the upgrades now.
[12:21] <BananaBob_> sweet :9
[12:21] <spearson> BananaBob: dw1: my issue is solved. I just had to change to a minor closer to me :)
[12:22] <mashu> bigbadben, my screens are arrange in the wrong positions on login but are okay after login.
[12:22] <mashu> bigred15, my screens are arrange in the wrong positions on login but are okay after login.
[12:22] <mashu> bigred15, ill take a look at dconf Ediotr.
[12:23] <mashu> bigred15, looks complicated :P
[12:24] <spearson> two more questions, 1. how do I access OS X volumes in ubuntu, without turning off journaling on OS X and how do Internet sharing in Ubuntu so I can connect another machine.
[12:24] <ahmed__> wath we are doing  we are   nothing  we are   such as  air     we must be
[12:25] <bigred15> mashu: It's not really from what I can see; however, I believe there is another tool called Unity Tweak which can do the same thing.
[12:25] <rdz> hi all. is there a list of packages new in 14.04 somewhere?
[12:26] <holden87> sarkesh: i tried to log out and log in without pass, and it didn't want to let me inside the session
[12:26] <spearson> In OS X, there is an option called Internet sharing: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740
[12:26] <b9000> other than not resuming from sleep and the occasional freeze from an errant touchpad bug, I am okay with 14.04
[12:27] <b9000> oh and the fact that none of the nvidia drivers will actually let me log in
[12:27] <holden87> Can i set a password for live user?
[12:28] <OpenTokix> spearson: you can do that with some iptables forwarding
[12:28] <spearson> hmm
[12:29] <chris_> Can someone help me edit a conkyrc file? I need to add my wireless card to it but I dont know how.
[12:29] <bigred15> chris_: What are you trying to add exactly?
[12:30] <chris_> The conky shows my ethernet in a graph no problem, but there is no wlan section.
[12:30] <chris_> so when I unplug it doesnt read anything.
[12:30] <bigred15> Do you know what your wireless device name is?
[12:31] <chris_> I think it is wlan0
[12:31] <bigred15> ${downspeedgraph wlan0 25,80 000000 4AC644} <--that's what i use for down
[12:32] <Anon_Ymous> chris_: what is your lspci ?
[12:33] <chris_> sorry Im new to ubuntu. How do I get that info? lspci?
[12:33] <x00-k2> terminal command

[12:59] <spearson> Should I go ahead and replace?
[12:59] <alami> bigred15:https://www.cs.utah.edu/~bigler/code/sshkeys.html
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> spearson: did you ever edit that file?
[13:00] <spearson> Don't remember doing so
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> spearson: then replace
[13:00] <spearson> Thanks
[13:01] <spearson> sometimes I get fontconfig error, out of memory, should I be concerned about this?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> spearson: as long as its still installing I wouldn't be worried
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> spearson: do you have enough free space on the partition?
[13:02] <spearson> Okay, I have plenty of memory though
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> spearson: df -h    will show you

[13:07] <Baluse> Hello
[13:07] <Baluse> to install latest apache should I type apt-get install apache2-bin
[13:07] <Baluse> ?
[13:08] <spearson> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7352328/
[13:09] <poxip> Baluse: best option is build from soruce
[13:09] <spearson> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7352328/
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> spearson: 1374Mb of 3934Mb, is fine
[13:10] <spearson> Cool
[13:13] <spearson> should I go ahead and remove obsolete packages?
[13:14] <x00-k2> using apt?
[13:14] <spearson> upgrading to 14.04 of ubuntu
[13:15] <x00-k2> i kept them it depends sometime
[13:15] <x00-k2> sometimes
[13:15] <spearson> so I should remove them as you said sometimes.
[13:15] <x00-k2> did you install things before he upgrade
[13:16] <spearson> a few but can always reinstall if I really need to
[13:16] <spearson> nothing major
[13:16] <x00-k2> i kept all mine just cause in the past ive had trouble after removing them
[13:16] <spearson> hmm
[13:16] <spearson> keep or remove.......
[13:17] <x00-k2> my gut always points towards keep
[13:17] <x00-k2> lol
[13:17] <spearson> it's only 62 packges though
[13:17] <spearson> If I decided to remove them, would I run into problems?
[13:18] <x00-k2> its a 50 50 chance
[13:18] <spearson> so I should keep them right?
[13:18] <spearson> but why does it says obsolete?
[13:18] <x00-k2> just cause they arent listed in trustys repos
[13:18] <spearson> so I should keep them right?
[13:19] <x00-k2> like i had programs that only ran on 12.1 so those programs for them to work depend on those packages even though they arent listed in the trusty repos
[13:19] <[[prienge]]> i keep getting a message "leaking memory" on my ubuntu 14.04 on oracle virtualbox
[13:19] <x00-k2> afterwards i still had to edit my sources list file to include quantal and precise repos
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> [[prienge]]: are there any bugs reported?
[13:20] <x00-k2> just to get some minor programs to keep on working
[13:20] <spearson> I haven't really installed many programs though. VLC, diskpardt, etc
[13:20] <x00-k2> well remove them after a restart after you know all is well
[13:20] <spearson> libreoffice will stll work though under 14.04 right if I decide to remove them
[13:20] <spearson> ok
[13:20] <spearson> how would I remove them after restart
[13:20] <x00-k2> cause it wil come up once you apt-get update/upgrade
[13:21] <x00-k2> is will prompt again if they can be removed
[13:21] <spearson> ok so I keep them restart and remove them later right
[13:21] <spearson> ok
[13:21] <spearson> I'll keep
[13:21] <x00-k2> yeah thats the safest bet
[13:21] <spearson> going for restart now be rigight back
[13:21] <x00-k2> kkk good luck
[13:21] <spearson> Thanks
[13:22] <x00-k2> no proble

[13:23] <mojtaba> Hi, I have an old computer and I want to make it backup server for a windows domain. Do you know what should I do?
[13:27] <lacrymology> is there a way for me to manually tell apt to use a specific source instead of sources.list?
[13:27] <lacrymology> for one run
[13:28] <x00-k2> well create a backup sources.list and create a new one with modifications

[13:29] <unopaste> alumno__ 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
[13:30] <x00-k2> spearson it could be the dpi settings
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: you can install openssh-server and get an SFTP server, or install and configure samba and use that
[13:30] <DJones> Zirunth: alumno__ This is a support channel in English, please don't use the channel for general chat
[13:30] <ernestbosom> yo
[13:30] <spearson> x00-k2 should I be worried or try to edit the dpi setting or maybe it's per machine?
[13:30] <Zirunth> hei
[13:30] <Zirunth> asd
[13:30] <DJones> ]/lastlog <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:30] <x00-k2> per machine dpi
[13:31] <x00-k2> each monitor has set boundaries
[13:31] <spearson> xoo-k2: gotcha
[13:31] <x00-k2> you can mess with them a little but risk running into tearing
[13:31] <spearson> x00-k2 should I remove the obsolete packages as it seems to be fine or wait?
[13:31] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: I have 3 servers running windows 2008 and I want to configure a backup server to back them up automatically.
[13:32] <x00-k2> if its running good id keep them
[13:32] <alumno__> j
[13:32] <spearson> x00-k2: I'll leave things the way they are so I so risk tearing
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: samba will show as a windows share, if you are wanting to backup over WAN then SFTP is a much more secure option
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: depends if your backup method can communicate with SFTP servers (decent nes will)
[13:33] <spearson> x00-k2: Thanks for all your help, I'm good to go and all up to date via software update :)
[13:33] <x00-k2> just for the fact incase something breaks you have a fall back rather than redownloading all your packages again. i had 2 million packages installed o n my last build and it finally crashed on a restart and i had to start over
[13:33] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: all of them are in a LAN.
[13:33] <spearson> x00-k2 hmm wow
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: then either will work, you could even run an FTP server if you wanted
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: again, not secure so LAN only
[13:34] <x00-k2> it was so hard getting everything to work together an the power went out and bye bye my disk also ran out of space which is a nasty situation
[13:34] <x00-k2> lol
[13:34] <x00-k2> i imagine ubuntu like jenga blocks
[13:34] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: You mean it is better to install FTP server on windows?
[13:35] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: Is there any step by step guide?
[13:35] <spearson> x00-k2: yikes hmmm. Thanks again for your help. I'm going to keep those obsolete packages and not risk tearing trying to edit the dpi
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: no, install ftp server on Ubuntu
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: or use Samba, they are quick and dirty
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: lots of youtube videos on how to set it up
[13:36] <x00-k2> kk no problem man
[13:36] <x00-k2> good luck on your escapades
[13:36] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: so, after installing ftp server on ubuntu, I could backup those windows servers?
[13:36] <spearson> x00-k2 thanks and have a great day
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: yes you can connect to the service and upload files
[13:37] <x00-k2> you too
[13:37] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: Should I join that ubuntu machine to the windows domain? (like other windows machines?)
[13:37] <JOY_> ?
[13:38] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: but I want it to do it automatically over night.
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: then have the Windows systems backup to the FTP on a schedule on each server
[13:39] <ogzy> hi, how can i add this as a repo so that i can instal crmshl via apt-get https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/crmsh/1.2.5+hg953-2ubuntu5
[13:40] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: ok, thanks
[13:42] <TeraJL> how can i install polari on ubuntu?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> TeraJL: what is it?
[13:44] <mdtux_> trying to figure it out
[13:45] <TeraJL> ActionParsnip: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/10/gnome-irc-app-polari-in-development , i've clonned from git, and i've run autogen.sh and configure, but i don't know what to do next, or if is there any ppa
[13:46] <mdtux_> make and make install?
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> TeraJL: what is the output of:   cat /etc/issue    there may be a PPA
[13:47] <salsero|2> you got it
[13:47] <TeraJL> mdtux_: i've already tried, but they return "no targets specified and no makefile found, and no rule to make targe tinstall
[13:47] <TeraJL> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
[13:47] <mdtux_> is there a Makefile after you run autogen.sh?
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> TeraJL: its new in Gnome 3.12 so you'd need to use the Gnome PPA to upgrade the entire DE, which will then include the aplication. Your Gnome apps will then lose support here as you are using a 3rd party source for those packages.
[13:49] <TeraJL> mdtux_: at the end i'm getting "./configure: line 4554: syntax error near unexpected token `0.9.6'" AND "./configure: line 4554: `GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_REQUIRE(0.9.6)'"
[13:50] <mdtux_> so that the reason why you cannot run make
[13:50] <TeraJL> ActionParsnip: ok, i've heard that ubuntu gnome did not have gnome 3.12 because of the features freeze, but will they release it on normal updates, or a ppa? if the only problem was just a little bit of bad timming it may be pretty stable
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> TeraJL: seems to be only via PPA
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> TeraJL: remember, 14.04 is LTS, so 'pretty stable' doesnt really cut it
[13:55] <TeraJL> ActionParsnip: you'r right, so if i want more updates (and less stable obviously), i should add this ppa's https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Developers as needed?, because ubuntu has multiple versions, but gnome as only one :/
[13:56] <TeraJL> *ubuntu gnome

[14:01] <kompot> ActionParsnip: i'll try and report

[14:07] <hfp> Hey, I can't get my Macbook Pro 5,3 to boot the USB Ubuntu 14.04 image. I tried with UNetbootin, Mac USB loader and the dd way from the download page. Everytime, I get two purple rectangles on the higher right hand of the screen and nothing displays. It seems to boot because eventually the keyboard's backlight turns on and I hear the disk rattling but I never get any image. With Mac loader it says that it can't find a suitab
[14:07] <hfp> le display mode and starts in blind mode, with the dd way it says can't find fallback.efi and with UNetbootin it says nothing. How do I get up and running?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> wb kompot
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> hfp: what GPU does the system use?
[14:08] <kompot> So ActionParsnip: i changed the icon launcher-bfb.png in usr/share/unity/icons
[14:08] <hfp> ActionParsnip: Nvidia 9600M and its integrated counterpart
[14:08] <kompot> but it doesn't work
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> hfp: try the boot option:   nouveau.blacklist=1
[14:09] <hfp> ActionParsnip: Where do I specify that?
[14:09] <ring3> h
[14:09] <ring3> hi
[14:09] <does2> ring3: hello!!
[14:09] <ring3> i have a big problem with gnome since last upgrade
[14:10] <ring3> the resolution is too big, and cant change it
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | hfp
[14:10] <ring3> and i cant click buttons
[14:10] <ring3> i have to click under the button
[14:10] <hfp> thanks ActionParsnip
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> ring3: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[14:10] <lacrymology> .wc
[14:10] <ring3> Ubuntu 14.04 LTS \n \l
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> hfp: lots of giudes online about boot options too..... use those too
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> ring3: and what GPU do you use? does the system have a make and model? Did you upgrade from Saucy to cause the issue or upgrades within Trusty itself?
[14:11] <boriseto> So, after "Installing the upgrades" the Update Manager is sitting on "Cleaning Up" phase while "Searching for Obsolete Software" and in the terminal it says "Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/bamf-2.index" and on top of that the CPU is working on max the whole time. It has been like this for 1h already. Should I be worried?
[14:12] <ring3> ActionParsnip: a wizard appeared and i clicked yes ... it seems a dist upgrade
[14:12] <boriseto> It's about upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> ring3: I asked LOTS of questions, more than one....
[14:13] <ring3> boriseto:  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Heathrow PRO [Radeon HD 7850M/8850M]
[14:14] <boriseto> ActionParsnip, what ring3 said was for you. :)
[14:14] <ring3> ups
[14:14] <ring3> ActionParsnip: ati radeon
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> ring3: did you use the proprietary video driver?
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> ring3: remove it, reboot then reinstall it and reboot again if you did
[14:16] <ring3> ./xorg.conf:	Driver		"fglrx"
[14:16] <hfp> ActionParsnip: adding the nouveau.blacklist=1 boot option didn't change anything at all :(
[14:17] <ring3> lsmod: fglrx                8081247  95
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> ring3: uninstall the fglrx packages, reboot then reinstall it
[14:18] <ring3> ActionParsnip: ./xorg.conf.failsafe:	Driver		"fbdev"
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> hfp: are there any guides for your model of mac for installing ubuntu?
[14:18] <ring3> ActionParsnip: is not a mac, an all-in-one pc
[14:18] <ring3> ups
[14:18] <ring3> :)
[14:19] <ring3> ActionParsnip: ok .. checking ...
[14:20] <ring3> ActionParsnip: E: Can't find a source to download version '2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2' of 'fglrx:amd64'
[14:21] <hfp> ActionParsnip: Yes, but none address this issue
[14:22] <ring3> ActionParsnip: now is caled fglrx-driver instead of fglrx
[14:24] <hfp> ActionParsnip: I'll try with nomodeset, brb
[14:24] <boriseto> ring3, if you remove fglrx it will go back to the open source radeon driver, so you should be safe to remove it (not promising anything).
[14:24] <boriseto> ring3, just in case you can do sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati after removing fglrx
[14:27] <Hanumaan> after update to 14.04 under /var/log/ kernlog and syslog taking all the space .. is it fine delete them ?

[14:49] <d1323> newbie question: if I put "foo bar" in a script file, and do chmod +x script, what is used to run "foo bar"? current shell?
[14:51] <fabio123> JenniferB2, i would edit the nautilus.desktop in  /usr/share/applications
[14:51] <fabio123> adding an action , something like gksu nautilus ...
[14:52] <fabio123> so the next time you open nautilus you can use the right click to select the open as...
[14:52] <fabio123> never tried though
[14:57] <langhunm> exit
[14:58] <JenniferB2> fabio123, I tried a a guide online, got the menu option .. and then a notification for the passowrd .. but no window was opened
[15:00] <fabio123> JenniferB2, open the nautilus.desktop in /usr/share/applications
[15:00] <fabio123> add a new action... like the one you see there ... with gksu nautilus as a command
[15:00] <fabio123> tested right now and it works
[15:01] <OerHeks> use gksudo, not gksu
[15:01] <IdleOne> fabio123: recommended way is to use gksudo
[15:01] <IdleOne> !away > hfp`offline
[15:01] <reisio> gksu doesn't work?
[15:02] <OerHeks> gksu is not installed by default.
[15:02] <reisio> gksudo is?
[15:02] <OerHeks> Yes.
[15:02] <reisio> does gksu work if installed?
[15:02] <rAg3> hi, how do i install amd drivers for ubuntu 14.04, or rather which driver should i be using? and is there any configuration i need to do after i install the driver?
[15:02] <creature> Could someone with the Radiance theme on 14.04 open up a couple of windows and take a screenshot? I'm trying to figure out if my active/inactive window titles are showing as intended or if there's a rendering bug.
[15:02] <reisio> rAg3: if you're happy with what's there by default after installing, you're done
[15:02] <fabio123> gksudo is from the gksu package and i had to install it
[15:03] <reisio> fabio123: ha
[15:03] <reisio> OerHeks: ^ know what's going on?
[15:03] <OerHeks> reisio, i get an error, when i use gksu, i don know why
