[00:02] <DarkmasterT> i need help with a Broadcom BCM4401, computer can see it but no matter what i've tried it is still unclaimed
[00:02] <DarkmasterT> i've tried several solutions from the forum for that same ethernet but none worked
[00:02] <bluesnow> Hi, how can I execute a program from the terminal with just "executable_name" instead of having to type "./executable_name"?
[00:02] <reisio> bluesnow: put it into /usr/local/bin/
[00:03] <reisio> bluesnow: or make a shell alias (help alias)
[00:03] <bluesnow> ok, thanks
[00:03] <reisio> or ${million_other_things}
[00:03] <Dyrcona> persisto: My guess is that's not a current feature of the lock screen and it would require some code to be written.
[00:03] <TTN> darkmasterT, I'd google the heck out of it. its pretty specific, with too many details for me to look into atm..
[00:04] <DarkmasterT> i googled it so much my internet history is full of ubuntu forums and other sites, all say the same thing
[00:06] <persisto> Thanks for your help guys
[00:06] <DarkmasterT> purge the bcmwl, install some linux-firmware, modprobe this and that, and then the thread is marked SOLVED, but some reason solution that worked for others isnt working for me
[00:08] <DarkmasterT> it was a fresh install before that and since i did so many things i reinstalled to get rid of all the changes
[00:12] <hui> hello
[00:12] <hui> when two socket communicate,then one shut down,the other socket will be always readable and get 0 bytes,,is that correct?.
[00:13] <reisio> hui: #friendly-coders
[00:14] <hui> linux c
[00:15] <hui> I am learning and reading the advanced programming in the unix environment
[00:16] <reisio> hui: then #friendly-coders is a more appropriate spot for you :)
[00:16] <hui> what is friendly-coders
[00:16] <TTN> lol i thought you had in mind "eh lets do a hashtag"
[00:16] <reisio> a channel
[00:16] <reisio> for coders
[00:16] <reisio> who are friendly
[00:16] <TTN> hui, he means join the channel
[00:17] <reisio> as opposed to ##C, where you will learn to regret having been born
[00:17] <hui> ok i know..
[00:17] <fswe> hello
[00:17] <reisio> hi
[00:18] <fswe> I've been following this guide to get postfix installed and right up until it says to verify using telnet, i'm not seeing the line that says AUTH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
[00:19] <fswe> I've repeated the guide several times but I can't see where I'm going wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
[00:19] <hichris123> Hmm, anyone have any idea why running https://gist.github.com/hichris1234/ab6221e299e2daf8fb7c as root works, but as my user spits out errors like "Sigaction failed at number 65 (Operation not permitted)"?
[00:25] <dave__> hello

[00:26] <Ranieri_> Okay. Why do files save twice, one with a ~ and one without?? PLEASE HELP
[00:26] <Ranieri_> Ubuntu 14.04
[00:27] <HelloMello> Ranieri_: what in problem bebiskom
[00:27] <mbeierl> hichris123: um...  there is no sig handle for 65?  I see it going up to 64 as max:  kill -l
[00:27] <Ranieri_> HelloMello: ?
[00:27] <HelloMello> is la is in ne
[00:28] <mbeierl> Ranieri_: files such as gedit will save a backup (the prior version to the current) as file~
[00:28] <HelloMello> Ranieri_: problem ?
[00:29] <mbeierl> I mean programs such as gedit.
[00:29] <Freeaqingme> Hi folks; I'd like to do some policy based routing on Debian (two NICs, each with their own route table). Is there any config file to specify that in, or should I just use rc.local?.
[00:30] <mbeierl> Freeaqingme: in Ubuntu there is /etc/ufw for that.  Maybe check in #debian for Debian specifics?
[00:30] <Ranieri_> mbeierl: Ahh, that makes a lot of sense.
[00:31] <Freeaqingme> mbeierl, oh, oops. I actually am on Ubuntu. Will look into that ufw thingie. tnx
[00:31] <mbeierl> Ranieri_: so if you do a "diff file file~" you should see the result of your last edit/save cycle
[00:31] <mbeierl> Freeaqingme: ah.  /etc/ufw is a directory
[00:31] <Ranieri_> Freeaqingme: Too complicated for me, please explain: policy based routing, route table, and rc.local
[00:32] <Ranieri_> mbeierl: I'll check that out right now.
[00:32] <mbeierl> Freeaqingme: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW for some starters on setting up things
[00:33] <mbeierl> Freeaqingme: but basically, you can put your iptables commands there - if that is what you were going for...
[00:33] <Freeaqingme> mbeierl, I'm actually looking for the first time at ufw. Is it possible to use ufw while using hte plain old iptables-persistent stuff?
[00:35] <mbeierl> Freeaqingme: Take a look at /etc/ufw/before.rules. IIRC, I think that takes a format of iptables-save style syntax
[00:35] <Freeaqingme> hmz, dont look like it. well, I'll figure something out. tnx
[00:37] <mbeierl> Freeaqingme: what sort of iptables syntax were you using?
[00:37] <mbeierl> I mean you can do iptables-restore < file in rc.local...
[00:38] <Freeaqingme> mbeierl, absolutely. I'll just have to play with some things for a bit
[00:39] <Freeaqingme> I may also opt to use NFT
[00:41] <Ranieri_> I have a bug I want to report with Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.
[00:42] <Freeaqingme> Ranieri_, I'd suggest you do that in the bug tracker
[00:42] <mbeierl> nft?
[00:42] <Freeaqingme> mbeierl, http://netfilter.org/projects/nftables/
[00:42] <Ranieri_> Freeaqingme: Give me the URL to the bug tracker please.
[00:42] <Freeaqingme> it's in the kernel as of 3.13 iirc
[00:42] <Freeaqingme> Ranieri_, https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=ubuntu+bug+tracker
[00:42] <Freeaqingme> first result
[00:43] <Ranieri_> Freeaqingme: Thanks :D
[00:43] <L8-0151> Hello
[00:44] <reisio> 'lo L8-0151
[00:44] <L8-0151> i have the latest ubuntu iso, how do i burn a bootabale disc? i currently have backtrack 5 installed.
[00:44] <gdi2k_> any libvirt wizards here? I need to clone a guest, but it has a partition attached to it, and I don't want to clone that. I want to clone the desk but ignore the attached partition. Can I do that?
[00:45] <VBguy> hello
[00:45] <gdi2k_> *desk = guest
[00:45] <mbeierl> ah netfilter.  gotcha
[00:45] <VBguy> looking for the proper place to ask about grub issue after upgrade from 14.04.1 to 14.04.4
[00:46] <Freeaqingme> mbeierl, iptables is also netfilter, sot hat doesnt mean much. But they gave everything a huge revamp, also on kernel level. If you use the iptables command on >=3.13 it's merely a legacy interface that bridges to nft
[00:47] <Bashing-om> L8-0151: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto .
[00:47] <mbeierl> gdi2k_: is the partition "attached" as in a separate disk file, or you mean you want to copy the contents of (say) partition 1 from a disk file, but not partition 2 in the same file?
[00:49] <gdi2k_> mbeierl, it is actually literally a partition on the host system, which is separate from the root disk file of the guest. the attached partition is actually /home on the guest system
[00:49] <mbeierl> gdi2k_: so how is that referenced in the guest?  If you remove the reference (/etc/fstab, etc) and just clone the base disk, does that work?
[00:50] <gdi2k_> mbeierl, it is referenced in the xml file of the guest, and also in fstab of course. I am thinking I could remove the reference from the xml file, clone the disk, then add it back. Would that work>?
[00:50] <hichris123> Hmm, looks like you need certain privileges in order to use sigaction?
[00:51] <hichris123> It works as root but not as my own user.
[00:53] <mbeierl> gdi2k_: yes it should.  You can also (iirc) copy the disk and then create a new vm descriptor (xml file) for just that new disk.
[00:53] <mbeierl> if for some reason removing the disk ref from the xml doesn't work (which I can't imagine that it would not)
[00:54]  * mbeierl has been using OpenStack over top of KVM/libvirt for a little too long to remember the basics
[00:55] <gdi2k_> mbeierl, thanks, will give it a shot
[00:57] <ubuntunoobneedhe> Greetings. I am struggling to run ubuntu from a bootable usb on a mac. Is this a good place to ask for help?
[00:57] <reisio> ubuntunoobneedhe: yup
[00:57] <VBguy> sorry lost connection.
[00:58] <VBguy> i am looking for help on fixing my grub since i updated from ubuntu 14.04.1 lts to 14.04.4 lts
[00:58] <reisio> VBguy: yes?
[00:58] <Freeaqingme> VBguy, just ask. perhaps someone can help you ;)
[00:58] <mbeierl> gdi2k_: np.  enjoy :)
[00:59] <ubuntunoobneedhe> Thanks, so where should I start? I've follow this step by step guide from ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx). When I restart in in boot, and click the usb (it reads Windows), a black screen pops up that reads "No Bootable Device Found - Insert Boot disc and press any key".
[00:59] <VBguy> reisio: I upgraded and I lost my grub and cannot get boot repair to fix the issue and it is above my knowledge level
[01:00] <reisio> what makes you think you lost grub
[01:00] <samthewildone> what's the best compression archive for media files ?
[01:00] <reisio> samthewildone: moving target
[01:00] <VBguy> reisio I attempted to use boot repair, but that did not work
[01:00] <samthewildone> I've got about 2GBs of media.
[01:01] <reisio> samthewildone: how small do you need it?
[01:01] <mbeierl> samthewildone: define best?  How much quality are you willing to lose?
[01:01] <samthewildone> small enough to store on a cloud.
[01:01] <SchrodingersScat> samthewildone: https://code.google.com/p/zopfli/ 5% better they say
[01:01] <reisio> samthewildone: there's no size requirement for that
[01:01] <ubuntunoobneedhe> In configuring my USB in Disk Utility, should I partition it as a "GUID Partition Table" or "Master Boot Record". As well, what format should the USB be in? "MS-DOS(FAT)" , "Mac OS Extended" , "ExFAT"?
[01:01] <samthewildone> reisio, I have a limit of cloud storage.
[01:01] <samthewildone> reisio, trying to maximize every input I get.
[01:02] <mbeierl> samthewildone: you do realize that media files (video and audio) are already compressed, correct?
[01:02] <samthewildone> mbeierl, I'm willing to lose err about 15 - 25% video quality,
[01:02] <samthewildone> mbeierl, I want to put these files into a archive.
[01:02] <reisio> samthewildone: is it all video?
[01:02] <VBguy> reisio here is the url that boot repair created http://paste.ubuntu.com/8391792/
[01:03] <samthewildone> reisio, a collection of videos.
[01:03] <reisio> VBguy: what makes you think you lost grub?
[01:03] <mbeierl> samthewildone: then you need to determine what video compression was used and re-encode in either the same one with a lower framerate or quality, or find a better compression for the type of video in the file
[01:03] <samthewildone> reisio, some ranging from 15mb - 150mb.
[01:03] <reisio> samthewildone: I wouldn't bother, transcoding can take forever
[01:03] <reisio> if you need more hosting space, google drive starts at 15GB IIRC
[01:03] <mbeierl> samthewildone: see, gzip and the like cannot compress video as it is already in its most dense form.
[01:04] <samthewildone> reisio, Im using G
[01:04] <VBguy> reisio: I don't thik I lost it, I think that it did not install correctly during the upgrade.  I have all the boot files on sdb
[01:04] <reisio> samthewildone: G?
[01:04] <samthewildone> Google = G
[01:04] <mbeierl> reisio: I agree, but without transcoding there is no way to shrink the file size below its current, no?
[01:04] <reisio> VBguy: I can tell you think that, but I want to know _why_ you think that
[01:05] <reisio> mbeierl: sure there is
[01:05] <reisio> but you probably lose quality
[01:05] <reisio> oh without
[01:05] <reisio> not of any significance, indeed, no
[01:05] <mbeierl> reisio: ok, then we are saying the same thing: either waste time transcoding, or get more storage...
[01:06] <reisio> mbeierl: sounds like we are indeed
[01:06] <VBguy> reisio I only think that because I am not the most knowledgeable in Ubuntu.  Every time I try to start the computer I get grub rescue prompt.
[01:06] <BluesKaj> or use vlc and play anything
[01:06] <reisio> if that's what you said :p
[01:07] <reisio> VBguy: okay, it might be easiest to fix it from a live OS
[01:08] <VBguy> reisio, i am currently using the boot repair live disk as we speak
[01:09] <BluesKaj> Boot repair usually works
[01:09] <VBguy> boot repair tries to put it on sda and not sdb
[01:10] <reisio> I'm not sure why boot repair would work if the other software the devs had run also failed :p
[01:10] <reisio> s/also //
[01:12] <linelevel> Hi, where can I find the script that runs when I run `sudo service <service_name> restart`? I'd like to read it to see exactly what's happening.
[01:13] <linelevel> The docs for the service in question mention sending arguments with the TERM signal, and I need to know what those arguments are when I issue a `service ... restart`.
[01:16] <ceibal> pormo
[01:17] <VBguy> So my question then is how do i properly fix my grub or boot?
[01:20] <bubbasaures> VBguy, I would download supergrub a tiny booter boot to ubuntu and run commands from there. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/  couple other ways a chroot is one.
[01:23] <VBguy> i will try that.  i have set up my mobile irc to be in here so i can continue with you guys if i have trouble.
[01:32] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: We can try and boot sdb3 from the grub prompt ... what have you got installed onto sdb1 ?
[01:33] <VBguy_mobile> I set up sdb the way that Ubuntu install files suggested
[01:34] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: But, what is installed ontp sdb1 ?? as 14.04 is installed on sdb3 .
[01:35] <ramsudharsan> Is this Ubuntu Development Forum?
[01:35] <ramsudharsan> I need some answers
[01:35] <Bashing-om> ramsudharsan: Try #ubuntu+1 .
[01:35] <reisio> #ubuntu-devel
[01:35] <ramsudharsan> K
[01:35] <ramsudharsan> Thanks
[01:36] <VBguy_mobile> 14.04.01
[01:36] <reisio> /msg alis list *ubunt*dev*
[01:36] <VBguy_mobile> And i upgraded to  14.04.4 and got the grub issue
[01:37] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: IF we can boot sdb3 we can fix grub ,, but .. what is installed onto sdb1, so we know what we are working with and toward ??
[01:38] <VBguy_mobile> Let me get back over there, went to working computer to get the other file suggested
[01:39] <ramsudharsan> No one responds there
[01:39] <VBguy_mobile> Booting up Ubuntu live cd
[01:40] <coffeeguy2> dual boot with ubuntu and windows 8.1 a good idea?
[01:40] <cfhowlett> coffeeguy2, no reason no to
[01:40] <reisio> coffeeguy2: it's an idea
[01:41] <coffeeguy2> i'd like to use linux straight and only, but my usb and ip security cameras are an issue
[01:41] <reisio> they are?
[01:41] <coffeeguy2> i thought so
[01:41] <coffeeguy2> that and the grub error i get when i dual boot
[01:41] <reisio> I'd think not
[01:41] <reisio> grub errors are usually easy to fix
[01:42] <coffeeguy2> i've got an install i really don't wanna lose, it's windows but it's all i've got for everything
[01:42] <reisio> no particular reason you'd lose it
[01:44] <coffeeguy2> hmm, i could use windows backup and do a bit more reading and give it a try
[01:44] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om i have the live cd booted up. Going to Chech sdb files
[01:45]  * OerHeks wonders how you upgrade from 14.04.1 to 14.04.4
[01:46] <VBguy_mobile> I thought that was my jump
[01:48] <Freeaqingme> Is there any way to disable the check and 60 second delay if networking  has been set up correctly?
[01:48] <cfhowlett> OerHeks, one doesn't just upgrade to 14.04.4 as the current point release is 14.04.1
[01:48] <Freeaqingme> the delay that's performed on boot
[01:50] <Freeaqingme> nvm. /etc/init/failsafe.conf it is
[01:51] <ibni> hi
[01:52] <samthewildone> For some reason I'm not able to format my USB. Its in msdos filesystem.
[01:52] <samthewildone> I try to use GParted.
[01:53] <reisio> samthewildone: how'd you like it to be?
[01:53] <VBguy_mobile> I am looking at my  1GB grub file system that i assume is sdb3
[01:53] <samthewildone> Nice and tight...
[01:53] <VBguy_mobile> I mean  sdb1
[01:53] <samthewildone> err I mean, able to FAT32
[01:54] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: Now I am confused... lemme go back and relook at you boot-repair report.
[01:55] <VBguy_mobile> In the mean time i will Reget boot repair
[01:55] <samthewildone> reisio, when I try to make a startup disk out of it, I get this error > http://pastebin.com/ZLaQeXUz
[01:56] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: Nope "3      5120MB  20.5GB  15.4GB  primary  ext4            boot" I expext that 14.04 complete is installed to 'sdb3' .
[01:57] <VBguy_mobile> I currently opened  the grub.cfg file to look at it
[01:59] <VBguy_mobile> Closed it as i did not notice anything.  So how can i get it to go to sdb3?
[02:02] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: Seeing as how you are booted to the liveDVD, let's see if we can (RE-)install grub. -> sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt , sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb , sudo umount /mnt . Reboot at this time and see if you now boot into the install with bios set to boot the 2nd hard drive.

[02:04] <ramsudharsan> There is no active development group in IRC :/
[02:05] <postmodern> i installed steam on ubuntu 14.04 and attempted to run "steam" but it segfaults almost immediately
[02:05] <cfhowlett> ramsudharsan, there are more communication methods than irc
[02:06] <ramsudharsan> @cfhowlett I agree
[02:06] <VBguy_mobile> Gnu grub version  1.99-21 appears
[02:07] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: Not at all as expected,, what is the version of the liveDVD you have ??
[02:08] <VBguy_mobile> 12.3 i think
[02:08] <Gnomethrower> ickserv identify a3therb0x1
[02:08] <Gnomethrower> oh crap
[02:08] <reisio> Gnomethrower: I see you want to be reported to #freenode
[02:08] <Gnomethrower> reisio: ???
[02:08] <Pici> eh?
[02:08] <reisio> so I'll accommodate you
[02:09] <Gnomethrower> reisio: what do you mean?
[02:09] <cfhowlett> Gnomethrower, the format is /msg nickserv identify password
[02:09] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: Well, should be close 'nuff to work .. OK, when you booted the install, do you boot to the desktop, or still to a grub rescue prompt ?
[02:09] <Gnomethrower> cfhowlett: yeah, it was a joke
[02:10] <ramsudharsan> Everyone know his pass :P
[02:10] <Gnomethrower> one that reisio is apparently taking very seriously
[02:10] <cfhowlett> Gnomethrower, perhaps less humor/comedy and more ubuntu support - you know?   the channel topic ...
[02:10] <reisio> spam is not a joke
[02:11] <Gnomethrower> as I said, calling it spam is a little excessive.
[02:12] <Pici> Lets get back to support then.
[02:12] <Gnomethrower> ^
[02:12] <ramsudharsan> Anyone know about kernel development here? If yes, perhaps I will discuss about my weird question ere
[02:12] <VBguy_mobile> It boots to  grub command line
[02:13] <Gnomethrower> ramsudharsan: don't ask to ask, just ask :)
[02:14] <reisio> #kernel
[02:14] <Gnomethrower> ^ and that's also a good resource, yup.
[02:15] <ramsudharsan> K I will try to see whether I get some support there
[02:15] <ramsudharsan> Orelse I will ask my question here
[02:15] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: Yuk; At that grub command line: linux (hd1,msdos3)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb3 ro , initrd (hd1,msdos3)/initrd.img , boot .
[02:17] <cfhowlett> !kernel | ramsudharsan,
[02:19] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om i get  hd1 cake hey  C/H/S values
[02:20] <VBguy_mobile> I type ls and i do not see  hd1
[02:20] <VBguy_mobile> I did disable sda in the bios
[02:20] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: What is set for botting device in your bios ?
[02:21] <Bashing-om> booting*
[02:21] <gndlp> hey anyone here good with hardware? I need some advice on my linux workstations.
[02:21] <Pici> try ##hardware
[02:22] <gndlp> Pici: thanks buddy
[02:23] <VBguy_mobile> I reenabled sda and i get the grub rescue  command line
[02:24] <DaiZyuJin> is this a good way to ask a girl out? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5LFD9VDq88
[02:26] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: We are not working to boot sda, we are trying to boot the operating system that is installed onto the 2nd hard drive 'sdb'. Set in bios to boot that 2nd hard drive, so bios can hand off to the boot code that is located in the MBR of that 2nd hard drive, so it can boot the operating system. Clear as mud ?
[02:27] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om. That i totally do understand what you are saying.   Just trying to get the bios to cooperate
[02:30] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om for some reason my bios will  not let me choose Bettendorf my two  SATA drives
[02:31] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: I do not know what I can say .. I have no idea how to tell you, as EVERY bios is different. But for sure, you must find a way to tell bios you want to boot up that 2nd hard drive,
[02:33] <VBguy_mobile> I am trying to figure that part out, but if i disable  sda maybe we can get it to boot
[02:34] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: In my Phoenix bios, I must 1st enable the means to switch hard drives ( I have 3 ) . Off the top of my head I do not recall the specifics.
[02:39] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om trying to go back into live cd to see if there is a boot tag on sda
[02:40] <VBguy_mobile> But every thing had been working fine until the upgrade  :(
[02:44] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: What is on the liveDVD has absolutely nothing to do with bios. In bios you set where bios is to look for the boot code. In our case that is the 0th sector (MBR)- because that is where and is proper we installed that boot code -  of the 2nd hard drive (sdb). There is a means in your bios to unlock the choosing of the booting hard drive.
[02:47] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: All I can surnmise is in the upgrade process grub did not get installed to 'sdb' maybe defaulted to 'sda'. I do not know as I was not there. All we can do now is try and fix it.
[02:48] <triplc> hi all
[02:49] <triplc> how to get rid of 15 seconds of "scanning btrfs filesystem..." at boot of 14.04? when i was using 12.04 --i also had btrfs as root-- but there was not that 15 second scanning
[02:49] <triplc> i google but cannot find the answer
[02:50] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om i an an moron.  I kept  enter setup not bios
[02:51] <triplc> i believe that losing 15 second of boot time is very not neccessary
[02:51] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: It is all a process of learning. I too have a long way to go.
[02:51] <triplc> especially when i am using laptop in 14.04 install on SSD
[02:52] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om i thought set up looked odd as it was only giving me basic options.  Now to figure out how to get the system  bios
[02:58] <horriblecoders> i
[02:58] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: When you boot, at the bios splash screen should be an advisory of which key to deperess to enter the bios utility.
[02:59] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om i guess dell calls the bios  system setup.
[03:00] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om now trying to figure out how to select specific hard drive instead of the order it wants
[03:00] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: I could buy that. that is reasonale to "assume" .
[03:02] <samthewildone> I noticed there is a tmp protected file in my users' folder.
[03:03] <samthewildone> I don't know how it got there but, whats the deal with it ? Its a root folder
[03:04] <samthewildone> > http://pastebin.com/YXrK7mKg
[03:05] <samthewildone> nevermind I know what it was.
[03:05] <Guest78158> Hey I need some help
[03:06] <Guest78158> Slappy
[03:06] <Guest78158> Crap
[03:06] <Guest78158> Well I guess I cant change my nick for some reason
[03:06] <Guest78158> anyway here is my issue
[03:08] <Guest78158> I am running Ubuntu ultimate edition gamers 2.6 which is built on ubuntu 10.04 right? So I am trying to install skype 4.3, however for some reason apt-get only installs 4.0 & the software center only installs 4.2
[03:09] <triplc> Guest78158: 10.04 is too old i think
[03:09] <Guest78158> now I have tried the other package installers, but they keep insisting that I have the wrong architecture i386, so I tried running sudo dpkg --add architecture i386 & got bubkis
[03:10] <Bashing-om> Guest78158: Release 10.04 is End-Of_Life for the destop in ubuntu, and had no support.
[03:10] <Guest78158> well for some reason the damn terminal doesn't even understand the command to add the freaking architecture
[03:11] <Guest78158> Ok, but I think if I could get the system to process i386 architecture, MAYBE i can get it to work, so any idea how to do that?
[03:11] <Bashing-om> Guest78158: Yep, the software repository no longer exists as you may have known it. Upgrade to a current release.
[03:12] <OerHeks> only server 10.04 is supported, don't wast your time on that old gamers edition
[03:12] <Guest78158> Im reluctant to upgrade this one because in all honesty, it's been one of the very few distros that have NOT been problematic for me
[03:13] <OerHeks> it is problematic now
[03:14] <Guest78158> damn
[03:15] <Guest78158> That sucks because standard ubuntu always seems to get problematic on me. Then again, I probably need a new desktop anyway
[03:15] <Guest78158> I guess it's back to mint 14 for me
[03:15] <Guest78158> ok thanks
[03:17] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om i attempted using your grub command line with  sata0 dissabled and changed the number based on using ls, however i get  file not found
[03:18] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om is the a space before and after both  ,
[03:18] <samthewildone> quick---, where is my icons directory ?
[03:18] <samthewildone> errr... I mean quick, in general terms
[03:19] <owen1> i have an app with this line in it's config file: connect = host=/var/run/postgresql. i assume it's the binary of postgresql. is this the path to the binary: /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres ?
[03:21] <dave__> locate *.desktop
[03:21] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: The ',' is but a seperator jere between commands. So yes, there is no space at all . 3 seperate commands.
[03:22] <VBguy_mobile>  Doh
[03:22] <Bashing-om> here*
[03:24] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om so the command line fails on the first one then for myself.   File not found
[03:25] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: IF you take a look at your boot-repair report, you will see that the system wants to boot sdb1, another install of 14.04, but I see little to support booting sdb1. It appears that booting is from sdb3 and the boot code did not update to reflect sdb3. When you get bios to boot that 2nd hard drive we can invesigate further.
[03:25] <Steve_Jobs> how do i config eth0 to use dhcp
[03:25] <Steve_Jobs> ?
[03:26] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: OK, file not found. do command 'set' what returns in the line "root=" and "prefix=" ??
[03:27] <VBguy_mobile> I just set it to  hd0,msdos3
[03:27] <VBguy_mobile> I set root that is
[03:28] <VBguy_mobile> Prefix is note  (hdo,msdos3)/grub
[03:28] <VBguy_mobile> Now*
[03:28] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: Good if you used the proper syntax to do so. relate to me the command you used to set root .
[03:29] <cmanns> are there any tools to get GCC prior then 4.4 on ubuntu with apt-get?
[03:29] <cmanns> methods/tools/ways
[03:29] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om  i used  set root=(hdo,msdos3)
[03:30] <OerHeks> hdo or hd0 ?
[03:30] <VBguy_mobile> Hd0
[03:30] <VBguy_mobile> Sorry for confusion.
[03:32] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: Good let's see if you can boot ! 3 commands -> linux (hd1,msdos3)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb3 ro , initrd (hd1,msdos3)/initrd.img , boot . Let's see what happens .

[03:41] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: well !, what returns in that grub prompt -> ls -al (hd0,msdos3)/boot/grub ?
[03:42] <VBguy_mobile> File not found
[03:42] <VBguy_mobile> I go up one  directory  and get  two DIR ./ and. ./
[03:44] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om i an going to go in the shower  be back around in 20 or so
[03:46] <VBguy_mobile> Sorry the  DIR are<PHONE_NUMBER>4003 and<PHONE_NUMBER>0453
[03:47] <Bashing-om> VBguy_mobile: I do not know that grub is that sophicticated. do in that grub prompt -> set ptrfix=(hd1,msdos3)/boot/grub , set root=(hd1,msdos3) , insmod normal , and the other three commands to boot from the 2nd haed drive, hd1. NOT the 1st hard drive ,hd0 . OK ?
[03:49] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om i have one sata dissabled in the bios so i don't think the grub  sees it
[03:50] <VBguy_mobile> But will do as you typed
[03:51] <joey_conrad> I'm looking to do a minimal install on a machine with no CD drive (usb or sd card are options). I have a Lubuntu USB stick ready, and the mini ISO downloaded. Is there a way to easily do a minimal install with that, if not do the mini.iso on USB instructions for 13.03 given work with e.g. 14.04?
[03:52] <joey_conrad> I tried dding it to the USB stick before, but the results seem unbootable
[03:52] <VBguy_mobile> Bashing-om at the  linux (hd1 command line i get  hd1 cannot get  C/h/s values

[04:05] <BTJustice> I have a friend who is trying to install Ubuntu 14.10 on a laptop which has Windows 8.  It uses UEFI.  The Ubuntu Install goes fine until it hits installing grub2 which it fails at and the installer crashes.  Is there a way around this?
[04:05] <grobe0ba> BTJustice: need more specifics
[04:05] <grobe0ba> error messages
[04:05] <BTJustice> Hold on.
[04:06] <BTJustice> Installer crashed is the title of the window
[04:06] <BTJustice> It wants to do a bug report.
[04:06] <cfhowlett> BTJustice, you're helping your friend install a BETA ubuntu on his windows 8?  ... think on that ...
[04:06] <BTJustice> No specifics.
[04:07] <joey_conrad> so, no dice wrt my questions?
[04:07] <grobe0ba> BTJustice: the bug report should give you an option to see specifics
[04:07] <BTJustice> UEFI support should be the same if not better in 14.10.  It's actually Ubuntu MATE.

[04:09] <cfhowlett> Snake2k, you haven't installed it, right?
[04:10] <joey_conrad> cfhowlett: sure, w/e
[04:11] <BTJustice> After bug report, he says it didn;t show any specific messages as to why grub2 failed.
[04:13] <grobe0ba> you should be able to tell it to send the bug report
[04:13] <grobe0ba> then view the bug report before sending
[04:13] <Snake2k> cfhowlett: Nope I haven't yet
[04:13] <grobe0ba> which will show you the specifics
[04:14] <cfhowlett> Snake2k, if wifi is not supported while on usb, it MIGHT be possible to enable it with command line.  if not, do a post-installation configuration
[04:21] <sasaem> BTJustice, have you considered recommending to your friend that he use a VM solution such as VirtualBox?
[04:21] <sasaem> It is at least as easy to install VirtualBox and then install Ubuntu on a virtual machine managed via VirtualBox, than it is to figure out how to get Ubuntu and Windows 8 to play nice together on the same physical machine.
[04:22] <sasaem> I am running Ubuntu on a virtual machine right now.  I use VirtualBox on Windows 8, and it's never given me any trouble with Ubuntu.
[04:24] <horriblecoders> VMs are great unless you need access to a real GPU.

[04:52] <loadedanvils> question about grub

[04:54] <tortib> Does anyone know of a good site builder that's written in PHP?
[04:54] <asakapab0i> Wordpress nb4 offtopic.
[04:56] <loadedanvils> hey everybody, I have a question about dual booting from separate ssds
[04:57] <loadedanvils> how do I boot from another ssd while ubuntu is booting
[04:57] <rurkowce> loadedanvils: what.
[04:57] <loadedanvils> my other ssd doesn't seem to be accessible
[04:57] <loadedanvils> rurkowce: I have 2 ssd's in my laptop, but it's only booting one with ubuntu
[04:57] <loadedanvils> how do I choose which one boots when ubuntu is loading
[04:58] <loadedanvils> I think it involves installing grub but I'm nervous about overwriting file system
[04:58] <rurkowce> loadedanvils: does that other ssd already have a bootloader? :v
[04:58] <loadedanvils> it's windows, so no
[04:59] <rurkowce> loadedanvils: bootloader is a generic term for anything that resides in your master boot record, so yes, it does
[04:59] <loadedanvils> rurkowce: my mistake
[04:59] <loadedanvils> it is late and my nerves are frayed
[05:00] <loadedanvils> (reason is, I almost fucked up my laptop installing the ubuntu ssd)
[05:00] <loadedanvils> before, I booted from usb
[05:00] <rurkowce> i'd just hit f12 during laptop startup, or however your bios let's you choose which disk to boot from
[05:00] <loadedanvils> I think it's overwriting it
[05:00] <loadedanvils> but ok
[05:00] <loadedanvils> I'll give it another shot
[05:00] <rurkowce> what do you mean by overwriting? :v
[05:01] <loadedanvils> I tell it not to boot to ubuntu but it does anyway
[05:01] <loadedanvils> I want ubuntu to be default boot
[05:01] <loadedanvils> but windows also available if I select it
[05:02] <loadedanvils> will grub overwrite?
[05:02] <loadedanvils> windows boot partition?
[05:03] <rurkowce> you most likely have grub already, since you have ubuntu :v
[05:04] <loadedanvils> 14.04 grub not installed
[05:04] <rurkowce> but it shouldn't overwrite anything unless you tell it to, since windows is on a separate drive
[05:04] <loadedanvils> ok
[05:04] <rurkowce> loadedanvils: then maybe grub2 is? :3
[05:05] <loadedanvils> rurkowce: grub2 command isn't recognized
[05:05] <sasaem> loadedanvils, you might check whether there is a "grub" directory in /boot
[05:05] <loadedanvils> sasaem: well, I installed it
[05:06] <loadedanvils> so now there is
[05:06] <rurkowce> loadedanvils: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 this might make it a bit more clear
[05:06] <sasaem> loadedanvils, what is your goal again?
[05:06] <loadedanvils> ubuntu boots by default, but I want to choose which ssd to boot from
[05:06] <rurkowce> and what are you trying to achieve is called chainloading
[05:06] <loadedanvils> if I press some button
[05:07] <rurkowce> but it'd be easier to just set it in bios, and then select the non default one with that fastboot selection thingie most bioses have
[05:07] <rurkowce> loadedanvils: what laptop is it? :v
[05:07] <loadedanvils> rurkowce: it's a samsung
[05:08] <loadedanvils> and the bios only allows me to set boot order
[05:08] <sasaem> rurkowce, isn't "chain loading" the process of booting up from some partition on the same drive, not a different drive?
[05:08] <loadedanvils> Samsung NP700Z5B-S01UB
[05:08] <loadedanvils> to be specific
[05:09] <rurkowce> sasaem: as far as i know it just means passing to another bootloader
[05:09] <rurkowce> whether it's another partition, disk or iso file :v
[05:09] <oswaldo> hello spanis
[05:09] <sasaem> loadedanvils, do you have windows installed a separate hard drive?
[05:09] <sasaem> if so, perhaps this will help you: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html#DOS_002fWindows
[05:09] <rurkowce> loadedanvils: isn't boot order enough? :v
[05:10] <loadedanvils> sasaem: yes
[05:10] <Poizon> helo
[05:10] <sasaem> you could also try simply altering the boot order, like rurkowce suggests
[05:10] <loadedanvils> rurkowce: it looks like it's ignoring the windows ssd
[05:10] <rurkowce> loadedanvils: it makes me wonder if it's actually bootable then :v
[05:10] <loadedanvils> plus, it would be easier to chainboot
[05:11] <sasaem> you would need to enter the BIOS configuration menu, the exact process for which depends on your hardware.  Usually you hold down some f-key during initial boot - the BIOS often tells you which one when you're booting up.
[05:11] <loadedanvils> sasaem: I have
[05:11] <sasaem> Are you able to specify an alternate boot order?
[05:11] <loadedanvils> sasaem: yes, but it overwrites
[05:11] <loadedanvils> I can't really choose which one to boot
[05:11] <sasaem> Can you elaborate on what you mean by that?
[05:12] <sasaem> "it overwrites"
[05:12] <loadedanvils> If I choose a boot order it will save
[05:12] <loadedanvils> and boot
[05:12] <loadedanvils> but then it will always boot that way
[05:12] <loadedanvils> it's a bit of a hassle
[05:12] <sasaem> Yes, that sounds about right.
[05:12] <loadedanvils> I'm going to boot ubuntu almost always
[05:12] <sasaem> But it works, yes?
[05:12] <sasaem> You can booth both OSes without problem?
[05:12] <loadedanvils> I think so, let me check
[05:15] <loadedanvils> yes I can
[05:15] <loadedanvils> so
[05:15] <loadedanvils> I can boot into both, the only problem is that it's a hassle to go in to the bios and unselect one boot
[05:15] <lubuntu-> Hi do i need gvfs?
[05:16] <loadedanvils> then go back and reselct it
[05:17] <Dr_Dan> anyone use amarok player.  i can consistently get it to crash when adjusting the EQ controls
[05:17] <Dr_Dan> i posted the --debug on pastebin
[05:17] <sasaem> loadedanvils, OK, that's good.  It means you have one way of switching OSes.
[05:17] <loadedanvils> yep
[05:18] <loadedanvils> I'd rather just choose whenever I need to
[05:18] <sasaem> loadedanvils, it seems to me that you might benefit from reading the following:
[05:18] <loadedanvils> can grub help with that?
[05:18] <sasaem> http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Chain_002dloading.html#Chain_002dloading
[05:18] <sasaem> and also: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html#DOS_002fWindows
[05:18] <sasaem> Try modifying your grub configuration (make a backup of course) to do that.
[05:18] <rurkowce> sasaem: i'm not sure if it isn't for grub, not grub2
[05:19] <fedora_newb> Been awhile since I have hopped on my ubuntu partition but seems to have the resolution/video resolution jacked up. How can I reset the video ?
[05:19] <rurkowce> if so, then he would hardly benefit from it :v
[05:19] <sasaem> oh.
[05:19] <sasaem> that is version 2
[05:19] <sasaem> so it should be ok
[05:19] <fedora_newb> Using irssi through command line right now
[05:20] <sasaem> full manual is here: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html
[05:20] <loadedanvils> sasaem: I'm nervous about this, I don't have a spare disk to back up to
[05:20] <rurkowce> loadedanvils: it's just a text file, so in the worst case you could boot from an usb to fix it
[05:20] <sasaem> loadedanvils, the only alternative I can think of is: perhaps your BIOS has an option which you can select which only temporarily changes your BIOS settings?
[05:21] <loadedanvils> sasaem: I think I'll try it with grub
[05:21] <lubuntu-> Hi do i need gvfs?
[05:21] <loadedanvils> the way to choose to boot other one works, it's just tedious
[05:21] <sasaem> and yes, if your system fails to boot, it is possible, if you know what you're doing, to boot up a live OS from a USB stick or DVD or something, and then go in, mount the file system, and modify the grub configuration to restore its original state.
[05:22] <rurkowce> lubuntu-: it depends? :v
[05:23] <lubuntu-> rurkowce, what's the point of it?
[05:23] <fedora_newb> Anyone know of a command line web browser?
[05:23] <sasaem> fedora_newb, lynx for example.
[05:23] <boris> Question: does any one know how to make shortcuts on on ubuntu 14.04
[05:23] <fedora_newb> ty
[05:23] <rurkowce> lubuntu-: it's an abstraction layer for "network filesystems", such as smb, ftp, ssh
[05:24] <rurkowce> and i think it also handles pluggable storage, but i might be wrong :v
[05:25] <fedora_newb> Anyone know of a command to run to reset resolution
[05:26] <cmanns> Anybody know simple way to get older gcc's to build older software that doesnt like past 4.3 to build on newer ubuntu?
[05:26] <boris> I have used gedit to make the file.desktop  and i have a icon in the unity menu but will not execute
[05:26] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: xrandr -s 1024x768, or some other fancy resolution, if you're in graphical mode :v
[05:27] <nusr> hi i have unbuntu installed alongside xp (i needed it for some programs). i'm running out of space because of virtual machines on my linux partition. how can i reduce the size of the windows partition to make more room for ubuntu
[05:27] <fedora_newb> rurkowce, can I run that from the command line though
[05:27] <boris> Can anyone make shortcuts on ubuntu desktop that will work
[05:27] <cmanns> isnt that a topic for #windows nusr
[05:27] <cmanns> There is a utility in administrative tools that will let you shrink your windows partition imho
[05:27] <cmanns> in windows
[05:28] <nusr> cmanns: gparted? or the ubuntu
[05:28] <cmanns> id shrink via windows pretty sure xp has that capability built in
[05:28] <boris> i am not using windows
[05:28] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: if you mean tty, not really :v
[05:28] <nusr> it's not a windows operation. what i read was gparted in livecd to change the partition
[05:28] <nusr> i want to extend the ubuntu size
[05:28] <cmanns> you have more space to do so?
[05:28] <Dr_Dan> boris, do you mean a launcher icon for something ie a program
[05:28] <boris> yes
[05:29] <boris> yes dr_dan
[05:29] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: but most of the desktop environments provide something to input commands under alt+f2 ;3
[05:29] <Dr_Dan> try, internet search for..  exo-desktop-icon-edit
[05:29] <boris> i  have the icon or shortcut in the unity menu  but will not execute
[05:29] <boris> ok
[05:30] <fedora_newb> rurkowce alt+f2 didnt do nothing for me
[05:30] <nusr> i'm going to move the files from the windows partition to external hdd so that should free up the whole thing, but i'd like to keep that part so i can install windows 7 on it later. right now, does the ubuntu installation disk preserve my data on the existing linux partition when i install? each time i have reinstalled ubuntu it has deleted the existing data, but i have not tried manually partitioning
[05:30] <Dr_Dan> correction...  exo-desktop-item-edit
[05:31] <fedora_newb> rurkowce actually looks like resolution might be fine but the login dialog isn't showing
[05:31] <fedora_newb> think this partition has crapped out on me, ubuntu that is
[05:31] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: does anything show? :v
[05:31] <fedora_newb> rurkowce like the background does for the login screen but not the dialog
[05:32] <boris> ok
[05:32] <fedora_newb> rurkowce would be nice to get this running again though...really not digging windows 8
[05:33] <fedora_newb> Not really sure how to get to google on the lynx so I am kinda out of luck here
[05:34] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: g and it will ask you for an url :v
[05:34] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: try running startx in a terminal
[05:35] <fedora_newb> rurkowce black screen
[05:36] <fedora_newb> rurkowce modprobe error could not insert nvidia 340
[05:36] <rurkowce> that's a progress :v
[05:37] <fedora_newb> rurkowce now what? :)
[05:37] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: dmesg might have more information
[05:38] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: i'd suspect that you have installed nvidia drivers in some unofficial way, and now it doesn't really work with your kernel :v
[05:38] <fedora_newb> anyway to install the right driver from the command line?
[05:38] <fedora_newb> rurkowce ^
[05:38] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? :v
[05:38] <rurkowce> probably yes, but i don't use ubuntu :V
[05:40] <fedora_newb> rurkowce I see xorg.cong.failsafe
[05:40] <fedora_newb> Not xorg.conf
[05:40] <fedora_newb> xorg.conf.failsafe*
[05:40] <no1_> how to uninstall utorrent server?
[05:42] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: you could rename/copy it to xorg.conf
[05:42] <fedora_newb> rurkowce how do I rename?
[05:42] <fedora_newb> or copy too even
[05:42] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: cp xorg.conf.failsafe xorg.conf
[05:44] <rurkowce> and try startx
[05:44] <fedora_newb> rurkowce ok, what do I need to do now
[05:44] <fedora_newb> ah kk
[05:46] <fedora_newb> staying on loading extension glx for a bit here
[05:46] <fedora_newb> maybe I should try to restart?
[05:48] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: the only valid reason to restart is kernel update :v
[05:52] <fedora_newb> I can see the login dialog for ubuntu. However, once I click on the login, the login dialog disappears?
[05:52] <fedora_newb> The password field that is
[05:52] <rurkowce> wut
[05:53] <fedora_newb> rurkowce, resolution looks fine, however, once I click on the password field of the login dialog, the login dialog appears to just disappear
[05:55] <rurkowce> i understood that, but it's strange
[05:55] <fedora_newb> rurkowce makes me sad :/
[05:56] <rurkowce> maybe that failsafe isn't that failsafe
[05:56] <fedora_newb> lol
[05:56] <fedora_newb> maybe not
[05:57] <Seramon> hi all
[05:57] <Seramon> i'm getting invalid command when i tried to run a program in my terminal. what does it mean?
[05:58] <Seramon> sorry invalid operation
[05:58] <rurkowce> Seramon: maybe it's for a different architecture? :V
[05:58] <Seramon> i've installed the debian based
[05:59] <OerHeks> Seramon, answer: invalid operation, why don't you give us the exact comand and error?
[05:59] <Seramon> sudo apt-get maltego_tungsten_ce
[05:59] <kd_> irc://irc.freenode.net/#riot-os
[05:59] <OerHeks> !spam | ziptte
[05:59] <rurkowce> then it's just an invalid operation :v
[06:00] <rurkowce> as in you probably meant apt-get install
[06:00] <Seramon> oh? what should i input to run?
[06:00] <loadedanvils> hell.o
[06:00] <OerHeks> Seramon, drop 'apt-get'
[06:01] <Seramon> i can't find the app to run so i have to run it from terminal
[06:01] <OerHeks> why do you want that to run as root?
[06:01] <loadedanvils> wello, it seems that grub is not booting
[06:01] <loadedanvils> on ubuntu 14.04 which didn't have grub installed
[06:01] <loadedanvils> how do I repair grub
[06:01] <loadedanvils> (current grub install is bad)
[06:02] <Seramon> i thought i have to run it on root
[06:03] <jon__> Seramon, sudo apt-get install maltego_tungsten_ce
[06:04] <Seramon> mmm i tried running it after dropping apt-get
[06:04] <Seramon> i'm getting the following message
[06:05] <Seramon> Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM warning: ignoring optiong MaxPermSize=128mb; support was removed in 8.0
[06:05] <fedora_newb> can't seem to get ubuntu to start up at all. Is there an error log or something I can check out to try to find the root cause?
[06:06] <fedora_newb> Get to the login prompt but never logs in
[06:06] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: dmesg
[06:06] <rurkowce> and stuff in /var/log
[06:07] <OerHeks> Seramon,  maltego is part of backtrack/kali linux as an hacking application, not supported here in #ubuntu
[06:07] <vArgas> hey thereim noob to ubuntu so heres a aquestion can i get malware or viruses like windows?
[06:07] <rurkowce> vArgas: theoretically
[06:07] <Seramon> oh?
[06:08] <vArgas> damn :S
[06:08] <fedora_newb> dmesg isn't showing anything that I can use...what specifically in the logs should I look at?
[06:08] <OerHeks> vArgas no
[06:08] <Seramon> so i can't use it in ubuntu?
[06:08] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: i have no idea where disappearing login box fits in
[06:09] <rurkowce> dmesg is kernel stuff
[06:09] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: /var/log/syslog maybe
[06:09] <rurkowce> since it's stuff from the daemons
[06:09] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: what version is this btw? :v
[06:10] <fedora_newb> 14.04
[06:12] <fedora_newb> blah linux
[06:13] <fedora_newb> rurkowce is there a way to copy dmesg to like a pastebin or something so you can see?
[06:13] <rurkowce> there's probably a simple explanation for all this :V
[06:14] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[06:14] <rurkowce> dmesg|pastebinit
[06:15] <cmanns> Is there a lubuntu hardy
[06:15] <fedora_newb> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8393375 rurkowce
[06:16] <OerHeks> cmanns, i thought lubuntu started with Karmic 9.04
[06:17] <cmanns> no idea
[06:17] <cmanns> Going to see what hardy forks there is now
[06:17] <cmanns> http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/xubuntu/releases/8.04/release/
[06:17] <cmanns> that works for me
[06:18] <OerHeks> have fun
[06:18] <kuda`> does ubuntu use bash scripts as part of the boot process?
[06:18] <sasaem> kuda, i believe ubuntu recently switched to using dash
[06:18] <cmanns> or should I use LXDE early version?
[06:18] <fedora_newb> rurkowce notice anything?
[06:19] <kuda`> ziptte is a spam bot
[06:19] <cmanns> omg I got spammed by ziptte
[06:19] <cmanns> didnt check what room, how do I report?
[06:20] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: i don't like that vesafb line since it implies that the module isn't signed, and all that stuff lightdm tried, that apparmor denied
[06:20] <rurkowce> but i don't know, maybe it's how ubuntu rolls
[06:20] <kuda`> sasaem: does ubuntu use dash during the boot process?
[06:21] <rurkowce> this would be the moment when i'd try to fix it by updating :v
[06:22] <fedora_newb> sudo apt-get update?
[06:22] <rurkowce> and apt-get upgrade
[06:22] <OerHeks> !ops | ziptte spam
[06:22] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: you could pastebin that xorg.conf thing if you haven't deleted it yet
[06:24] <DJones> Morning
[06:24] <fedora_newb> rurkowce not there anymore
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> DJones: hello mate
[06:24] <rurkowce> ok
[06:25] <fedora_newb> rurkowce how do I get to like an address bar on lynx?
[06:26] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: g
[06:26] <rurkowce> fedora_newb: links is a bit better though :V
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> !info links2 | fedora_newb
[06:27] <fedora_newb> blah, about to say screw this and stick with windows
[06:28] <fedora_newb> lol
[06:28] <rurkowce> understandable :v
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> fedora_newb: plz mind your language
[06:28] <fedora_newb> lotus, sorry, I am just not able to figure this out at all...
[06:28] <fedora_newb> irritated
[06:29] <fedora_newb> Had issues with the partition before, actually about 3 months ago? And its been sitting since.
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> does someone know if its legal to sell computers and install ubuntu on it, how the copyrights work?
[06:29] <tapesh> (tapesh) (tapesh) hi i am using ubuntu 14.04 LTS while i am building gedit  source i get gcc cannot create executables..i don't know how  to fix this
[06:30] <rurkowce> tapesh: why are you doing that?
[06:31] <tapesh> because i want to implement a feature request for gedit
[06:31] <rurkowce> ok, makes sense
[06:34] <fedora_newb> is there any way to like install the nvidia driver to get the latest update or the right one?
[06:34] <fedora_newb> like something like 'sudo apt-get install nvidia*'
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-current | fedora_newb
[06:35] <tapesh> i filed a bug asking the same but they say its a distro issue
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> fedora_newb: or check your additional drivers section
[06:36] <fedora_newb> lotuspsycheje, I am stuck on command line :/
[06:36] <fedora_newb> My gui isn't wanting to login and work correctly
[06:36] <fedora_newb> Not sure whats up
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> fedora_newb: then load ubuntu in recoverymode, hold shift during boot
[06:36]  * Snake2k hugs ubottu
[06:37] <lotuspsychje> fedora_newb: and start failsafeX or fix broken packages
[06:37] <fedora_newb> I did load in recovery mode early, was one of the options on grub. Then went to the gui failsafe or whatever and it just kept allowing me to choose default something
[06:37] <fedora_newb> Anyways, didn't get me no where
[06:37] <fedora_newb> I saw the broken packages option but didn't choose that one
[06:38] <fedora_newb> Maybe I will try that next
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> fedora_newb: yes try fix broken apckages
[06:38] <fedora_newb> kk, thanks guys, much appreciated with the help
[06:38] <lotuspsychje> fedora_newb: did you install ubuntu with internet connection on?
[06:38] <fedora_newb> Yep, I actually have used this for awhile but stopped about 2 months ago or so
[06:38] <fedora_newb> Seems that long anyways
[06:39] <fedora_newb> going to restart :)
[06:39] <lotuspsychje> good luck
[06:48] <fedora_newb> Well, none of that worked :/
[06:49] <IIT> can anyone give some recommendation on what topic i can do thesis in linux ? ( something which also relates to mathematics )
[06:49] <fedora_newb> Ok, so my issue is, I boot up Ubuntu 14.04 which is dual booted beside windows 8.1. The login shows, when I go to click the login, it just randomly disappears and left with the ubuntu background and no login dialog.
[06:50] <fedora_newb> Any help would be appreciated.
[06:50] <OerHeks> fedora_newb, disable fastboot in windows8
[06:50] <OerHeks> else check the uefi manual or search for your hardware specific
[06:51] <OerHeks> !uefi
[06:51] <fedora_newb> OerKeks, this used to work
[06:51] <fedora_newb> I did an update and messed with this awhile back and jacked it up
[06:51] <fedora_newb> Don't think it is a Windows 8.1 issue
[06:52] <fedora_newb> Plus, I have another machine with the same setup, and it works fine with windows 8.1
[06:53] <fedora_newb> Ok, so my issue is, I boot up Ubuntu 14.04 which is dual booted beside windows 8.1. The login shows, when I go to click the login, it just randomly disappears and left with the ubuntu background and no login dialog.
[06:53] <OerHeks> fedora_newb, laptop?
[06:53] <fedora_newb> Yep, Asus G75 ROG
[06:54] <OerHeks> fedora_newb, maybe you pressed the FN internal/external screen button
[06:54] <fedora_newb> OerHeks, I do have an internal and external
[06:54] <fedora_newb> :)
[06:55] <fedora_newb> Its weird, cause once I click like the login, it just straigt disappears and I am not sure wht log I should check for any hints
[06:55] <fedora_newb> But the resolution remains the same, so its not like it jumped down or anything
[06:56] <OerHeks> Does this happen with the external screen disconnected?
[06:57] <fedora_newb> Yep OerHeks
[07:03] <newtux> ...meh
[07:03] <sgen__> meh?
[07:04] <sgen__> Mah?
[07:04] <OERIAS> Anyway to make the icons on the System Setting a bit smaller?
[07:06] <veno> hello, how to make shortcut to opened terminal? Instead of ALT+TAB I would like to have F1 for switching
[07:06] <utfans05_work> veno install guake.
[07:06] <utfans05_work> It gives you a drop down terminal on F12
[07:11] <veno> utfans05_work hmm normally I use Tilda for that
[07:11] <veno> but in Freya transparency doesnt work
[07:12] <veno> ok gonna check this guake
[07:12] <utfans05_work> veno: you can change the button for it in guake.
[07:13] <veno> guake totally doesnt' work in freya ;d
[07:13] <utfans05_work> :-/ Well I know it works in ubuntu which is the channel you are in :P
[07:21] <x_root> hello, i have a problem with unity
[07:21] <x_root> i tried to login with it (from a lightdm session, lol)
[07:22] <x_root> and it bugged.. didn't showed any window decoration, ctrl+alt+t not worked for call the terminal
[07:22] <x_root> what should i do? (i'm at gnome-shell now)
[07:26] <huigegood> x_root:what
[07:26] <x_root> huigegood, "what" what? o.O
[07:30] <x_root> huigegood_, my problem is.. windows decoration is not showing, shortcuts is not working
[07:30] <x_root> but just on unity
[07:30] <x_root> start happened after i tried to set a hot spots for "expose"
[07:34] <litropy> Perhaps this isn't the best chan for this, and if so, please redirect me. But how would I ssh into my server, which supplies my router with Internet, from a device connected to the router? Essentially, device has <IP_ADDRESS>; server is <IP_ADDRESS>. SSH from device to server.
[07:36] <CarlFK> litropy: ssh <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:38] <CarlFK> this assumes a bit, like same user name, the router isn't filtering, etc.  but if you can, that's how.
[07:38] <litropy> CarlFK, hm ... last time i tried that, it didn't work. Perhaps I need to  port forward.
[07:38] <huigegood_> :),i'm a bird egg
[07:38] <litropy> I'm an egged bird.
[07:39] <CarlFK> litropy: "didn't work" is vague.    supply error messages
[07:40] <litropy> CarlFK, nevermind - I got it. Just had to allow it in the router.
[07:40] <litropy> CarlFK, thanks for your input.
[07:42] <th3_mol3> I downloaded some pr0n and now it's showing up in the search button thing
[07:42] <th3_mol3> lol
[07:42] <th3_mol3> any idea how to remove it?
[07:42] <litropy> th3_mol3, system settings > Privacy ... something. Hang on.
[07:43] <th3_mol3> clear usage data?
[07:43] <litropy> th3_mol3, you can actually block certain things instead
[07:44] <litropy> th3_mol3, like anything that has vlc associated with it
[07:44] <th3_mol3> ah right that's pretty neat
[07:44] <nydel> recently i've messed with my libc6/glibc libraries, a mess i effectively got out of by extracting 2.19 from the .deb i got off the ubuntu package site. but if i try something like an apt-get update && apt-get install, something goes wrong & everything i call gives me "segmentation fault" ... if i reboot into a fresh ubuntu & extract libc6/glibc again then chroot to my mounted filesystem all is well again. but
[07:44] <litropy> th3_mol3, system settings > privacy > applications tab
[07:44] <nydel> i'm not able to do daily upgrades! any advice?
[07:44] <th3_mol3> ty litropy
[07:44] <litropy> th3_mol3, np
[07:57] <geirha> nydel: sounds like libc wasn't the only thing you messed up, then
[07:58] <geirha> nydel: apt-get relies on many libs:   ldd "$(type -P apt-get)"
[08:07] <nydel> geirha: let me see what that gets me, thanks for your consideration here bud
[08:07] <nydel> ( geirha this is one of those where nobody wants to touch it & you feel completely alone heh )
[08:09] <nydel> geirha: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8394011/
[08:11] <geirha> nydel: right, so have you messed with any of those? :)
[08:12] <nydel> well libc.so.6 is in the list ... i tried to upgrade libc6/glibc from 17 and then ended up somehow running 15 and 19 at the same time
[08:12] <nydel> the others i haven't touched (to my knowledge)
[08:13] <nydel> and (listen up all) it was stupid of me to use debian tools on an ubuntu install. even if this was a small insignificant package, it's always stupid.
[08:14] <geirha> the debian package depended on a newer libc version?
[08:14] <OnkelTem> Hi all
[08:15] <OnkelTem> I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 still, and would like to upgrade apache from 2.2 to 2.4. Can you recommend good ppa for that?
[08:15] <nydel> a game called "Rust" that doesn't quite have a perfect dedicated server for linux, geirha, that's what i was trying to get going. it wanted libc latest and i wasn't thinking
[08:16] <nydel> what i meant is that i used a .deb package and dpkg -i to install the newest libc6/glibc -- that was wrong to do on an ubuntu
[08:18] <geirha> nydel: It is fixable, but the hard part is figuring out where the problem is
[08:18] <geirha> It will likely be less work to do a reinstall
[08:19] <geirha> nydel: does ''apt-get update'' alone cause segfault?
[08:20] <geirha> OnkelTem: Upgrade to 14.04. It has apache 2.4
[08:20] <geirha> !info apache2
[08:21] <OnkelTem> geirha: not an option, as Ubuntu 14.04 has broken locale switching
[08:21] <geirha> OnkelTem: broken locale switching?
[08:23] <OnkelTem> geirha: yes. Gnome issues. They had broken some locales stuff and don't seem to fix this eagerly enough.
[08:25] <OnkelTem> geirha: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678001 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735813
[08:25] <OnkelTem> The former is like a disaster, don't know if this affects Unity or not, but I don't use Unity
[08:26] <OnkelTem> Now they fixed it, but in 3.12
[08:26] <OnkelTem> it took more then year (!) for they to fix it. I call this "gnome is dying". But this is just my opinion
[08:28] <geirha> Ouch, yes, sounds like something that should have a higher priority
[08:29] <OnkelTem> geirha: true :( Well, I wait unti 3.12 be in 14.04.  But I love Gnome/Unity UI much more..
[08:30] <geirha> I can pretty much guarantee that you will not see 3.12 in 14.04, but it is likely that ubuntu backports the fix
[08:32] <OnkelTem> it would be cool
[08:35] <chaotix1> hello is there any dell canonical official ppa for ubuntu 14.04 for the dell laptops?
[08:36] <maca> hola
[08:40] <Avnish> hi, i m just testing
[08:40] <Avnish> irc packets
[08:41] <wiehan> I have such a strange networking problem which I can't explain/solve. When I boot my ubuntu up. Wired network shows connected, but network.internet doesn't work. Also Orange light on network card lights up (solid, not flashing). I take out the cable and test it with a cable tester (all 8 wires light up green = meaning all is good with the cable at least, and that it makes contact with the switch), then I have to do this about twice
[08:41] <wiehan> , plug it back in and Internet and everything works like a charm. I have a Linksys ADSL router which serves as a DHCP server and that in turn is connected to a 16 port gigabit switch, everything connects off here. I have never had this issue before. Everything else on the network works very well. Any ideas?
[08:42] <BlackDalek> how do I force a gimp filter to quit without quitting gimp and losing my work?
[08:42] <Avnish> how to read dump file in wireshark??
[08:42] <Avnish> any ideas
[08:43] <usr13> wiehan: What nameserver are you using?
[08:44] <usr13> wiehan: You say that "network.internet doesn't work". What exactly doesn't work?
[08:44] <cfhowlett> BlackDalek, undo
[08:44] <usr13> wiehan: route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf ; ifconfig
[08:44] <wiehan> usr13, well nothing on the network works...
[08:44] <usr13> wiehan: host av.com
[08:44] <wiehan> usr13, How do I check which name server I use
[08:45] <hui> hello
[08:45] <hui>  I got a problem writing a program to delete a non-empty directory using C in linux,who can help me
[08:45] <geirha> BlackDalek: That question sounds highly specific to gimp. I recommend you try asking in #gimp instead
[08:45] <usr13> wiehan: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[08:45] <wiehan> usr13, do you wan't a pastebin of that?
[08:45] <usr13> wiehan: grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf
[08:45] <cfhowlett> hui, #c channel
[08:45] <BlackDalek> cfhowlett, it is sharpen by synthesis filter... there is no undo. cancel is greyed out. the filter is still running. it has been running for 15 minutes. looks like it has another hour to go before it finishes.
[08:45] <wiehan> usr13 nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:46] <hui> ok
[08:46] <cfhowlett> BlackDalek, ask #gimp
[08:46] <usr13> wiehan: route -n  #Do you see your router's IP?
[08:46] <wiehan> usr13, that's what is shows, the output of route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf ; ifconfig is obviously more verbose, do you need a pastebin of that?
[08:47] <wiehan> usr13 with route -n I see my routers IP
[08:47] <wiehan> usr13, it's listed under gateway
[08:48] <usr13> wiehan: host av.com  or ping av.com  *(Can you resolve a domain name or ping it?
[08:49] <wiehan> usr13, yes Now host av.com resolves immediately, the problem is now "fixed" but this happens at every single boot up cycle - and I need to take out the cable in and out a few times
[08:49] <usr13> wiehan: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:49] <JohnTalent> hey guys. I'm getting two dialog error messages starting at desktop. I didn't notice any /var/log/messages. is that normal?
[08:50] <wiehan> usr13, ping <IP_ADDRESS> seems successful
[08:50] <JohnTalent> i mean to say the file 'messages' isn't even there!
[08:50] <wiehan> usr13, 30 packets transmitted, 30 received, 0% packet loss, time 29038ms
[08:51] <geirha> JohnTalent: the default rsyslog configuration does not write to a /var/log/messages file
[08:51] <usr13> wiehan: We can not fix something that is not broke, but I've just showed you how to troubleshoot, (accept for the nameserver, I use /etc/resolve.conf on 12.04  you will have to do a little something different to find your nameserver)
[08:51] <geirha> So yes, it is normal for that file to not exist
[08:52] <usr13> Someone tell me how to find the nameserver IP on a modern Ubuntu system.
[08:52] <JohnTalent> geirha: great! thanks.
[08:52] <wiehan> usr13, but any idea why this happens on every boot up cycle? I've checked that the cable works, and other hardware works on network. Is it more a software > hardware issue? Is it an issue with this machine trying to connect to the switch? I appreciate the tips, thanks
[08:52] <JohnTalent> geirha: now how do I check for these dialog error boxes at startup of desktop?
[08:52] <usr13> wiehan:  cat /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
[08:53] <usr13> wiehan: Is it a switch or a router?
[08:53] <JohnTalent> geirha: is that new? i had always thought i could see a /var/log/messages.
[08:53] <usr13> wiehan: (Does it have a separate WAN port, or not?)
[08:53] <geirha> JohnTalent: Depends what they are and why they appear. Your xsession logs all stdout and stderr to a file named ~/.xsession-errors  you might find some cluse there.
[08:53] <usr13> wiehan:  grep nameserver /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
[08:54] <usr13> wiehan: Is it a switch or a router: (Does it have a separate WAN port, or not?)
[08:54] <wiehan> usr13, I have a linksys ADSL router that connects to the Switch (16 port gigabit), everything else connects from the switch and works fine
[08:54] <eeee> JohnTalent: do you mean the apport errors? The little dialog box that says Cancel or Report?
[08:54] <JohnTalent> eeee: it keeps asking me for a password to report it to ubuntu.
[08:55] <geirha> JohnTalent: /var/log/messages has been a convention of sorts, but not in any way a standard. You'll find most log messages in /var/log/syslog though
[08:55] <JohnTalent> eeee: yes i i think thats it! apport.
[08:55] <JohnTalent> geirha: thanks!
[08:55] <wiehan> usr13, I I'm not sure about a WAN port, but here in South Africa we use plane RJ11? Telephone cables for our measly broadband.
[08:55] <usr13> wiehan: If it is truly a switch, then the difference is that it does not have a DHCP server, (in which case, your PC will not "try to connect to it".)
[08:56] <wiehan> usr13, but all other devices connects fine in this fashion, it's just my machine that takes effort to connect
[08:56] <JohnTalent> geirha: ok
[08:57] <eeee> JohnTalent: Those are for testing, you can disable them with no ill effects.
[08:57] <usr13> wiehan: Let's go back to the nameserver issue:  grep nameserver /run/resolv.conf/resolv.conf
[08:57] <usr13> wiehan: Let's go back to the nameserver issue:  grep nameserver /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
[08:57] <usr13> (TYPO)
[08:58] <chaotix1> hello is there any dell canonical official ppa for ubuntu 14.04 for the dell laptops?
[08:58] <JohnTalent> eeee: ah ok.
[08:58] <cfhowlett> chaotix1, only from dell.   not from canonical
[08:58] <eeee> JohnTalent: To disable them you'd have to edit /etc/default/apport , and set enabled=0
[08:59] <usr13> wiehan: try /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
[08:59] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, thank you. i m upgrading my laptop from the factory iso (12.04) and I want to replace it to the 14.04 where I can find it?
[08:59] <JohnTalent> eeee: ok, how about debugging their logs?
[08:59] <cfhowlett> chaotix1, ah, different question.  upgrade the ubuntu image then add the dell ppas
[09:00] <cfhowlett> http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/w/wiki/3685.dell-xps-13-laptop-developer-edition-a-client-to-cloud-solution-project-sputnik
[09:01] <usr13> wiehan: Here is the deal:  You need 3 things.  1) IP (one that is in the range of your router, the same subnet)  2) A nameserver (one that works, one that actually resolves domain names) (usually it will be your router, because most all modern router's have a caching nameserver) 3) Default route, (usually your router's IP again).
[09:01] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, thanks, yeap i asked because the update program disables the external ppas
[09:02] <eeee> JohnTalent: If you click on details to the left, you can check the report. Also, you can find error messages about startup in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:02] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, so I will find the ppas on the dell community right?
[09:02] <cfhowlett> chaotix1, indeed.  normal distro uprade process is kick up the distro first then add PPA's.   (I'm still awaiting a Dell's official adoption of 14.04.1)  So ... xpd 13
[09:02] <cfhowlett> ?
[09:02] <cfhowlett> xps 13?
[09:02] <usr13> wiehan: More-than-likely, you will get one of those three things wrong, when you find out which it is, you will know what is wrong.  Right now, we can't do anything, because we do not know what is wrong.
[09:03] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, no inspiron 5547
[09:03] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, i made a clean install of 14.04.1 and I got fan and high temperature issues as many other people :/ and I am now upgrading from the factory
[09:03] <cfhowlett> chaotix1, graphics/touchpad/wifi/ all supported?
[09:03] <Avnish> when will ubuntu support nvidia
[09:03] <Avnish> any work arounds??
[09:04] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, all great but I had high temperature on cpu and the laptop was very hot!!!
[09:04] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, i think that the issue was because I didnt installed any dell ppa
[09:04] <cfhowlett> chaotix1, common problem ... hope 14.04.1 works better!
[09:04] <usr13> Avnish: What kind of question is that?  (Did you state it wrong?)
[09:05] <cfhowlett> !nvidia | Avnish,
[09:05] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, thanks, one last thing I  still cant find the URL of the ppas do you know the page that dell puts them?
[09:05] <wiehan> usr13 ty
[09:05] <cfhowlett> Avnish, if you want native nvidia drivers, scream at nvidia.
[09:05] <cfhowlett> chaotix1, wait 1
[09:05] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, sure! thanks
[09:06] <Avnish> yeah ... i heard torvalds saying "nvidia is a painin ***"
[09:06] <JohnTalent> eeee: thank you.
[09:06] <cfhowlett> chaotix1, see ISO and drivers on this page  http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/os-applications/w/wiki/3687.sw-and-getting-sputnik-up-and-running
[09:06] <usr13> Avnish: Basically, (as cfhowlett points out), if you want Nvidia drivers, you have to get them from Nvidia.
[09:06] <brontosaurusrex> Avnish: nvidia is actually pretty cool for an end user
[09:06] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, thank you.
[09:07] <cfhowlett> chaotix1, happy2help
[09:07] <Avnish> oh sorry if i m nt up to date
[09:07] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, :) so i need to install this tool from github
[09:07] <cfhowlett> chaotix1, note:  XPS13 only but see the PPA  http://odm.ubuntu.com/uds-q/dellxps/
[09:07] <Avnish> has nvidia released any graphics driver for linux?
[09:08] <usr13> Avnish: But, if  you install Nvidia driver's manually, you will loose them with subsequent Kernel upgrade(s).  You can, however, get Nvidia drivers from the package management system, (usually).
[09:08] <usr13> Avnish: Yes
[09:08] <Avnish> thanks @usr13
[09:08] <usr13> Avnish: look at nvidia.com and see
[09:08] <chaotix1> cfhowlett, nice i got it :)
[09:08] <Avnish> let me check it out
[09:08] <Avnish> thanks all
[09:10] <JohnTalent> bye
[09:11] <__marco> Hello. Can I build a package for ubuntu from a debian machine?
[09:11] <cfhowlett> !hcl | __marco,
[09:12] <usr13> __marco: That is not exactly how it works.  But why would you?
[09:12] <usr13> __marco: Do you not have internet access for your Ubuntu machine?
[09:12] <wiehan> usr13 I've recreated the problem and have those terminal output for you
[09:13] <__marco> usr13: because qemu in 14.04 is compiled without vde support and I have only debian machines
[09:13] <usr13> wiehan Ok, let's see what is wrong
[09:14] <__marco> usr13: but I don't know if launchpad offers a build system
[09:14] <__marco> it would be great
[09:22] <basheba> what is the gnome network monitor gui called please?
[09:22] <geirha> __marco: It does. Create a PPA at launchpad, upload your source deb package, then launchpad will build it for the supported archs
[09:22] <Pakito> Helo
[09:22] <__marco> geirha: super, thanks
[09:24] <nispr0> can I use both inetd and xinetd?
[09:24] <nispr0> or will they conflict
[09:24] <Gnomethrower> nispr0: AFAIK, yes.
[09:24] <nispr0> okay
[09:24] <geirha> curious. Why would you want both?
[09:25] <cappe> how do I enable Swedish characters in console?`
[09:26] <cappe> i'm running irssi in console and can't write swedish characters
[09:26] <nispr0> cappe: try screen with -U
[09:26] <basheba> locals cappe
[09:27] <cappe> what's the charset code for swedish characters in irssi settings /set charset ????
[09:27] <nispr0> geirha: installaing nrpe and the guide are using xinetd
[09:27] <nispr0> geirha: dont think I want both
[09:27] <nispr0> just wanted to know if it will work
[09:32] <geirha> nispr0: which inetd do you have installed currently then?
[09:32] <MonkeyDust> !se | cappe ask here
[09:33] <geirha> nispr0: apt-cache policy 'inetd$'   # or if you have aptitude installed:  aptitude search '~i inetd'
[09:34] <nispr0> geirha: inetd 4.43
[09:35] <geirha> nispr0: you mean update-inetd 4.43?  that's not an actual inetd daemon.
[09:37] <geirha> There is no inetd implementations installed by default in ubuntu
[09:38] <nispr0> geirha: hmm, I see
[09:41] <cappe> I need Swedish characters in the console mode... I have tried numerous of "workarounds"... can you please help me?
[09:41] <cappe> I'm running Ubuntu trusty
[09:41] <cappe> I'm currently in irssi
[09:42] <cappe> I have configured term_charset to ISO-8859-1... still doesn't work
[09:43] <geirha> cappe: you get : ' and [ instead of the swedish characters?
[09:44] <geirha> cappe: ugh, do not use iso-8859-1. Use UTF-8
[09:44] <cappe> this is my swedish characters åäö !!!!!!! :/
[09:45] <geirha> cappe: and what do you get instead?
[09:45] <cappe> åäö instead
[09:45] <cappe> those arn't swedish special chars
[09:45] <quantum_bit> currently trying to install ubuntu on a laptop, but after the install i can't select the drive i installed it on in the boot menu (uefi)
[09:45] <nispr0> cappe: screen -rU
[09:45] <nispr0> cappe: för fan
[09:45] <cappe> I'm not running screen...
[09:46] <cappe> :D
[09:46] <jykko> hi
[09:46] <geirha> cappe: they show up correctly for me. Are you using screen or tmux?
[09:46] <nickbobee> when using the search bar to start a sftp session with a machine on my LAN i forget the trick.. we open the search bar and type <sftp://???> what is the trick for accessing a mahcine on my LAN with openSSH installed using the search bar and sftp trick?
[09:46] <jykko> list
[09:46] <cappe> I'm running plain from CONSOLE irssi
[09:46] <geirha> cappe: what does  locale  output?
[09:46] <cappe> It outputs only american chars
[09:46] <cappe> locale
[09:47] <cappe> guess there's the problem
[09:47] <cappe> how do I reconfigure
[09:47] <geirha> cappe: what does it output for LC_CTYPE ?
[09:47] <cappe> en_US.UTF-8
[09:47] <jberg_> hey, i install the newest kubuntu and chose automated partition of the whole disk with LVM and encryption, but for some reason the swap partition thats in /etc/fstab doesn't exist, is there an easy fix?
[09:48] <nispr0> jberg_: do you have a swap partition?
[09:48] <geirha> cappe: Ok, the important part is UTF-8. That it is english doesn't matter for this particular problem.
[09:48] <cappe> ok shouldn't I generate sv_SE charset??
[09:49] <geirha> cappe: next you'll want to make sure the console also uses utf8. To do that, run   sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[09:49] <jberg_> nispr0: nope, but in /etc/fstab (i think) it names one with uuid, so i don't know how it disappeared after the installation..
[09:49] <pagios> pre-up wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i INTERFACE -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf <-- will be called everytime the interface goes up? or only on boot?
[09:49] <nickbobee> when using the search bar to start a sftp session with a machine on my LAN i forget the trick.. we open the search bar and type <sftp://???> I remeber it being something like <sftp://https://<IP_ADDRESS>?> somthing like that? what was it again anyone know? what is the trick for accessing a mahcine on my LAN with openSSH installed using the search bar and sftp:// command?
[09:50] <geirha> cappe: Yes, you'll probably want to have swedish locale as well, to get the right sorting order and similar, but it will not affect the ability to type your swedish letters
[09:51] <MonkeyDust_> guys, if I run Stellarium on this 12.04 laptop with Intel graphic card, it says: "This system does not support openGL" and freezes completely ... I already install freeglut3 ... hints & tips?
[09:51] <geirha> cappe: locale -a   will tell you the ones that are currently installed
[09:51] <jberg_> is the swap partition thing a common bug in the newest kubuntu?
[09:52] <jberg_> can i fix it with a gui partition manager or do i have to read how LVM works?
[09:52] <geirha> cappe: If you already have sv_SE.UTF-8 in there, edit /etc/default/locale and change LANG to that. It takes effect when you log in
[09:52] <quantum_bit> already tried boot-repair (didn't help)
[09:58] <nickbobee> do i have to gksu nautilus first before i can use the search bar to access sftp on my openssh machines on my lan? i forgot damn.
[09:58] <nickbobee> when using the search bar to start a sftp session with a machine on my LAN i forget the trick.. we open the search bar and type <sftp://???> I remeber it being something like <sftp://https://<IP_ADDRESS>?> somthing like that? what was it again anyone know? what is the trick for accessing a mahcine on my LAN with openSSH installed using the search bar and sftp:// command? anyone?

[09:59] <pie870> !list
[09:59] <MagicSpud> please somebody help me upgrading ubuntu 12.04 lts to 14.04 lts
[09:59] <geirha> nickbobee: do not use gksu. It's ssh://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[10:00] <MonkeyDust_> MagicSpud  start by telling us what goes wrong when you try
[10:00] <pie870> !list
[10:00] <MagicSpud> http://askubuntu.com/questions/513157/unresolvable-problem-error-when-upgrading-from-12-04-to-14-04
[10:01] <MonkeyDust> MagicSpud  what's in that wall of text?
[10:02] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust_ same output that thread and when I try to upgrade without lightdm I get something more...it tells me to report the fatal error and to post my var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log and apt.log
[10:02] <nickbobee> geirha: no it starts with or has <sftp> in the command i just forgot it
[10:03] <geirha> nickbobee: Open a nautilus window (not with gksu), hit Ctrl+L -> ssh://user@hostname/home/user
[10:04] <nickbobee> geirha: no there is a way to connect to a iPhone with open ssh on it using the sftp:// ???????? from the search bar i just forgot it
[10:04] <nickbobee> damn
[10:04] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust_ please check it out: http://www.pasteall.org/54106 main log here
[10:04] <geirha> nickbobee: ah ok, ssh:// and sftp:// are the same. Use whichever you prefer; but they both use sftp
[10:05] <geirha> nickbobee: Not from the searchbar, no. Location bar
[10:05] <MonkeyDust> MagicSpud  please, describe what goes wrong instead of posting walls of text
[10:05] <geirha> nickbobee: Or choose the  "Connect to server" instead
[10:05] <nickbobee> its not working just the sftp://<IP_ADDRESS>? geirha i thinks i had to type http or https i forget
[10:05] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust_ towards the end are the lines that appeared when running do-dist-release upgrade without lightdm
[10:05] <geirha> nickbobee: what's the error message?
[10:06] <nickbobee> no error it just doesnt find the device ..ge
[10:06] <WileTheCoyot> irc://irc.darkartika.net/bronx
[10:06] <geirha> nickbobee: then make sure the ip and port is correct
[10:06] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust_ the problem is it says an unresolvable problem occurred
[10:07] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust_ and I had no more outputs so I ve been waiting to see whether that thread I first post would have solution but today I tried to run the do release upgrade without the desktop and something more appeared...more info
[10:08] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust_ I only wrote down the log files and now I am back in desktop
[10:08] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust_ but it said some fatal error occured and that I need to report it
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> MagicSpud  describe what you did and tried, in one line, and address the channel please
[10:10] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust thanks for the help I ll try to be more clear...how would I take a snapshot without the desktop?
[10:11] <MagicSpud> I would like to post the fatal error
[10:11] <nickbobee> geirha: there is a trick and i forgot it damn... i used to be able to do it.. its like you go to the search bar and type sftp:// and then https:// and then the ip or something i forget but damn... i used to be able to do it.. now im getting nothing just using the sftp://<IP_ADDRESS>?
[10:11] <nickbobee> geirha: usually it will ask for login and password at that screen immediatley
[10:12] <geirha> nickbobee: so your problem is that it is unable to connect to <IP_ADDRESS> port 22 ... make sure the device is using that ip and has an ssh daemon listening on port 22
[10:13] <nickbobee> geirha: it does.
[10:13] <geirha> nickbobee: how do you know?
[10:13] <BluesKaj> MagicSpud, make sure you update and upgrade before doing the do-release-upgrade, otherwise you could have problems
[10:13] <nickbobee> i know because my iPhone under steeing clearly displays its ip geirha
[10:14] <geirha> nickbobee: and you are sure it has an ssh daemon listening on port 22 ?
[10:14] <nickbobee> yes
[10:15] <nickbobee> even if it didnt i should say .. this device has no open ssh ...
[10:15] <nickbobee> if oyu have any iPhone on your LAN you can attempt to login to it
[10:15] <nickbobee> if it has no openssh installed it will jsut say this device does not support sftp etc?
[10:18] <nickbobee> look its simple nevemind the iPhone bit. when attempting to connect to a machine on your LAN using only its ip address you can do do by going to your search bar in nautilus and typing in a command ... i forgot it but i know its <sftp://???????????????
[10:20] <nickbobee> geirha: ok so what do i type into as the server address using connect to server option ?
[10:20] <joshoowa> hi all can you help me with unetbootin -- its installed on xubuntu -- but when I select create from my image
[10:21] <minimec> nickbobee: Can you connect via terminal to that computer, like 'ssh user@ip-of-the-machine'. The filemanager sometimes 'hangs' when it comes to sftp...
[10:21] <nickbobee> geirha: if i have a device on my LAN with ip address <IP_ADDRESS>? and i want to connec tto it using that ip only then what is the address using "connect to server"
[10:21] <nickbobee> minimec: who is "user"
[10:22] <minimec> nickbobee: the 'user' you want to login with, like 'ssh minimec@myhomeserver'
[10:22] <scarleo> nickbobee, that depends on what services you have running on your server, the ssh daemon must be configured and running to connect via SSH / SFTP
[10:22] <nickbobee> minimec: there is a damn trick for only knowing the devices ip address
[10:23] <nickbobee> scarleo: it is

[10:23] <scarleo> just open a terminal and typ ssh <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:24] <joshoowa> hi all can you help me with unetbootin -- its installed on xubuntu -- at /usr/bin/unetbootin, sometimes when I open it from there it says, already installed do you want to remove it? other times it opens the program. Firstly how do I get it to always open the program and not ask me if I want to uninstall it. Secondly im trying to install an image I
[10:24] <joshoowa>  got from Evolution Arch (a gui arch installer) but whenever I reboot it doesn't come up with the boot from Unetbootin at root / -- how do I get it to work with this image?
[10:25] <minimec> nickbobee: 'sudo apt-get install arp' then 'arp -a'
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> Isn't arp in a default install?
[10:25] <MagicSpud> after using alt+ctrl+f2 what happens?
[10:25] <minimec> ActionParsnip: Possible...
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> minimec: covers the bases I guess :-)
[10:26] <joshoowa> can anyone help me with unetbootin?
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: ask and see
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: unetbootin is a simple creature
[10:26] <minimec> nickbobee: that one is even faster 'sudo arp-scan --interface=eth0 --localnet' ;)
[10:27] <joshoowa> i all can you help me with unetbootin -- its installed on xubuntu -- at /usr/bin/unetbootin, sometimes when I open it from there it says, already installed do you want to remove it? other times it opens the program. Firstly how do I get it to always open the program and not ask me if I want to uninstall it. Secondly im trying to install an image I

[10:27] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: is this unetbootin installed in Arch?
[10:27] <joshoowa> no its in xubuntu
[10:28] <joshoowa> i typed which unetbootin in terminal to find it.
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: then launch it from the Xubuntu menu
[10:28] <oz6oh> test
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: it won't offer to uninstall itself. Never seen that
[10:28] <joshoowa> it asks me if I want to remove it when I do that. Sometimes it opens the program, asometimes it asks if I want to uninstallit
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> !test | oz6oh
[10:28] <joshoowa> ActionParsnip: well it offers me.
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: can you give a screenshot, use imageshack or similar
[10:29] <oz6oh> ok
[10:29] <joshoowa> ill try -- connectivity issues at the moment both wireless and wire having issues.
[10:29] <MonkeyDust> guys, if I run Stellarium on this 12.04 laptop with Intel graphic card, it says: "This system does not support openGL" and freezes completely ... I already installed freeglut3 ... this didn't happen days ago ... hints & tips?
[10:30] <joshoowa> when I run unetbootin in terminal it says "unetootin is currently installed. remove the existing version with a Y N prompt"
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: what is the output of: apt-cache policy stellarium
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: why mot use the icon in the menu, like normal.
[10:32] <joshoowa> ActionParsnip: in start menu gives me the same issue.
[10:32] <MonkeyDust> ActionParsnip  http://paste.ubuntu.com/8394831/
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: if you are wanting to put an Ubuntu ISO on USB, you can use dd and copy the ISO that way
[10:33] <Guest23167> hi. why is an internal cardreader not always working? i.e. now it doesnt recognise the sd card, but if i reboot it will maybe.. i need to reboot a few times to get it work. not too ..... good. and no clue why.
[10:34] <joshoowa> ive used dd to copy various iso to usb but im having huge trouble getting this hp eliteboot 6930p to boot from usb.
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust:  could try https://launchpad.net/~stellarium/+archive/ubuntu/stellarium-releases
[10:35] <joshoowa> so when unetbootin worked (after I managed to install it on a broken windows) I was happy. But wireless and wired internet is playing up so I thought try another distro.
[10:35] <joshoowa> I was going to boot arch with the evolution installer.
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: before you remove the sd card, do you use the safe removal feature in the OS before removing it physically?
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: I would uninstall unetbootin completely then reinstall it after running: sudo apt-get clean
[10:37] <Guest23167> ActionParsnip: u mean like yesterday when i last time used the card in the system? so if i removed with umount last time i used it? i used the card in a windows 7 system last time. (very last time in a digital camera)
[10:37] <joshoowa> ActionParsnip: I will try that thanks.
[10:37] <joshoowa> is there a terminal command to uninstall it, I only know sudo apt-get install SomeProgram.
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: did you use the safe removal in Windows7 before you removed it physically?
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: sudo apt-get --purge remove unetbootin
[10:38] <Guest23167> ActionParsnip: i think i dont always use the safe way. but last time i simply let the card in, and shut down the system.
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: I'd boot to Windows an
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: and inset the card, chkdsk the storage then use the safe removal in the system tray and pull it out when instructed
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: you'll probably find it works in Ubuntu
[10:40] <Guest23167> god... :) and what is causing this?
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: misuse of storage by owner.....very common
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: its NTFS right?
[10:41] <Guest23167> fine. i got that. but technically..
[10:41] <Guest23167> its a 16gb sdcard for a canon camera. so i guess yes.
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: if the storage is not ejected correctly then it will be marked as "dirty"
[10:41] <Guest23167> i c
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: then Linux wont want to touch it, if you use your storage correctly then you dont get issues
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: if you use the safe removal then the caches are synced and he storage released properly
[10:42] <MagicSpud> okay I read a bit about ttys and what I would need is to see/read what I typed and the output I got from a tty while I am back to desktop...how would I do this?
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: why do you think its the first thing I ask?
[10:43] <Guest23167> ActionParsnip: sad  is that it cant be fixed but only with a windows pc.. :) ok ms doesnt gives a ... about security. but still. there should be a way to override this.
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> MagicSpud: you could pipe the output to a file, then read the file in the desktop?
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: you are using a proprietary file system!
[10:44] <Guest23167> like maybe a question as "the card is marked as dirty, do you still want to mount it etc etc etc" so the usual warning.
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: proprietary to Microsoft who make Windows, so YES you need Windows to fix their filesytem
[10:44] <MagicSpud> oh cool thanks ActionParsnip could you post an example command please?
[10:45] <Guest23167> i reboot then and "enjoy" my ms os.
[10:45] <Guest23167> bb
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: if Windows devs would put the ability to access more than 3 file systems in their OS, you could use a journalised file system which would be fine
[10:46] <Guest23167> thats right. it would be a great "foundation"
[10:46] <Guest23167> thanks bb
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> MagicSpud: find $HOME | grep -i mp3 > ~/Desktop/result.txt
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> Guest23167: funny how a publicly readable file system is not in Windows
[10:47] <MonkeyDust> ActionParsnip  thanks for the ppa link, but methinks opengl is the problem, supertux2 also won't run
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: strange, does compiz run ok?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: have you tried the Intel driver installer (OmgUbuntu has links)
[10:49] <joshoowa> ActionParsnip: unetbotin installed again so I will try and install arch from evolution installer gui. wish me luck thanks for the help everyone.
[10:52] <OERIAS> why did they discontinue Wubi?
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: irs garbage and prone to breakages
[10:53] <cfhowlett> OERIAS, because it never worked right and because fixing it for 14.04 was WAY more trouble than it was worth.
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: if you want a try before you buy install, use virtualbox or similar
[10:54] <OERIAS> True. But how about the whole "Try Ubuntu in a more native environment approach"
[10:55] <xangua> Right native, if Windows fails ubuntu fails
[10:56] <cfhowlett> xangua, not if but when ... ftfy
[10:56] <gdi2k_> wondering if someone can help me with using an rsync backup script: https://github.com/thebestsolution/backup-script/blob/master/backup.sh - I would like to exclude the "nbd-swap" directory in the root folder of the backup. I have placed a "mybackup.exclude" file in the directory above the directory that I am backing up containing "nbd-swap". But the directory still gets backed up. Maybe I'm placing the exclude file in the wrong directory? EXCLUDE="$DIR/$BAC
[10:56] <gdi2k_> KUP_NAME.exclude"
[10:56] <joshoowa> ActionParsnip: I rebooted when it said but I got no Unetbootin option. Is there something I need to tick, or a bios boot order?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: if the OS suits then use it. You can test ubuntu native using a persistent usb as well
[10:57] <OERIAS> True. Might as well.
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: you will need to check your manual to set USB boot
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: basicaly, its awful
[10:58] <joshoowa> ok but if I set to usb boot a unetbootin option should show up right, no special option in the program itself.
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: yes, you need to tell the BIOS to boot USB first
[10:59] <OERIAS> Well I ran Ubuntu on my sister's desktop because I refused to use her OS. It did serve me well since I made a weekly copy of the .img
[11:00] <joshoowa> ActionParsnip: but i've been setting unetbootin to install to HDD / (root) not usb, should I do otherwise?
[11:00] <joshoowa> should i try install to usb.
[11:00] <joshoowa> first instead of hdd
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: thats how Ubuntu gets installed a lot of times. You need to boot USB first if you are installing or even just testimg
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: it did work, its just very fragile
[11:01] <joshoowa> ActionParsnip: so choosing hdd or usb shouldn't matter so long as I choose the appropriate boot option (either HDD or usb) and set it to first in BIOS boot order right).
[11:02] <OERIAS> It was.... Just a force reboot and it corrupted the install
[11:02] <OERIAS> and there was usually a possibility of ruining the MBR.
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: yes, some BIOSes have buttons to change the boot device for one shot
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: exactly, imagine the data loss by users and the target audience of ubuntu. It's rubbish. I'm glad it died
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: especially when so many people don't backup data (for their own reasons)
[11:04] <minimec> OERIAS: joshoowa: I have a SanDisk 64GB Extreme USB 3.0 and run two 'full installs' on it: Ubuntu 14.04 and Fedora 20 (encrypted). I use it with zram swap and mount /tmp in RAM to avoid writing cycles on the stick. I can really recommend such an install.
[11:06] <OERIAS> Which is why i still debian.
[11:06] <OERIAS> *still use debian.
[11:06] <joshoowa> minimec: I have a sandisk cruzer blade 8GB maye it my usb??
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: that doesn't make any sesne
[11:07] <OERIAS> ActionParsnip, RAM and diskspace efficiency
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: my ubuntu instal is 4Gb and uses about 200Mb RAM
[11:08] <joshoowa> is there a command to check if my laptops dvd drive is working? connected?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: ubuntu minimal plus openbox.....
[11:08] <OERIAS> Well I was able to use Ubuntu on my 3.5 ghz i7 with 6 GB of RAM
[11:08] <joshoowa> ActionParsnip: which ubuntu you use for that small install lubuntu?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: sudo lshw -C disk
[11:08] <minimec> joshoowa: You can use it, but the 'new' san disk drives use a better chip starting from 64GB.
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> joshoowa: I use minimal and build up
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: so how is ubuntu not great for disk and ram usage?
[11:09] <michele_> salve devo modificare l'ordine del grub
[11:09] <michele_> come faccio?
[11:09] <joshoowa> minimec: so I can use my usb I should just keep messing with bios settings until it boots from usb or cd?
[11:10] <OERIAS> ActionParsnip, flash drives. not HDs
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> MichaelC: do you want Windows to be first in Grub?
[11:10] <michele_> yes
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: its the same difference,  the kernel just sees a file system
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> michele_: give me a sec....
[11:10] <minimec> joshoowa: I don't even change the BIOS. I can choose alternate boot devices with 'F12' on boot...
[11:11] <michele_> it's in 5 position starting from 1 (1 is ubuntu 14.04 lts)
[11:11] <michele_> starting from the top
[11:11] <OERIAS> plus the packaging is superior, but I do use Ubuntu on some PCs. like the media server.
[11:11] <joshoowa> ok ill keep trying normally i 2 can do that not this lappy
[11:12] <minimec> joshoowa: I install grub on the MBA of the drive...
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> michele_: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/ 30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober
[11:12] <phillip2> hi, I have got a AVM FRITZ!Card PCMCIA and I would like to get it to work with ubuntu 14.04, after search in the internet I have not found a solution, has any one a tip for me?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> michele_: then run: sudo update-grub
[11:13] <joshoowa> minimec: that sounds usefull I only just learned to use dd to copy a iso to usb. that's what I do, maybe thats why it doesnt work?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: ubuntu is based on Debian, so its the same packaging
[11:13] <michele_> mv: l'obiettivo "/etc/grub.d/09_os-prober" non è una directory
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> michele_: copy and paste the command I gave as ONE command.
[11:14] <OERIAS> ActionParsnip, they still haven't ported Unity over to Debian.
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> michele_: the mv command renames the file
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: so?
[11:15] <eeee> ActionParsnip: there's an added space there
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> michele_: so you need both filenames in the command
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> eeee: ahh thanks
[11:15] <michele_> michele@michele-K53SC:~$ sudo mv /etc/grub.d/ 30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober
[11:15] <michele_> mv: l'obiettivo "/etc/grub.d/09_os-prober" non è una directory
[11:15] <michele_> michele@michele-K53SC:~$
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> michele_: remove he space I added, sorry
[11:16] <michele_> what space?
[11:16] <minimec> joshoowa: I guess... Probably. It cannot read MBR? Can you boot an alternate install on a harddisk and do an update-grub? If dd worked, you should have a additioinal boot option for the card in grub...
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: so what if Unity isnt available in Debian.....there is nothig at all stopping the Debian guys (or anyone) fompiling the code in debian
[11:16] <michele_> pls rewrite correctly
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> michele_: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> OERIAS: so, what is your point exaftly?
[11:17] <OERIAS> ActionParsnip, I am just chatting.
[11:17] <michele_> mv: impossibile eseguire stat di "/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober": File o directory non esistente

[11:19] <ActionParsnip> michele_: do you see Windows in the output?

[11:22] <Roland-> hi
[11:22] <Roland-> I have <IP_ADDRESS>       <IP_ADDRESS>         <IP_ADDRESS>   U     0      0        0 eth1, is there any way to specify the gateway ?
[11:23] <mishravikas> hi all can anyone please help me find solution for slow boot up I have a line in dmesg where it goes to 74 seconds from 19 seconds can anyone please explain that?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> Roland-: you will need to delete the route then add it with a gateway specified
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> mishravikas: can you pastebin the dmesg output?
[11:24] <minimec> joshoowa: no. You copy a working image on the usb drive. afterwards you have two possibilities. You can boot the 'default' Ubuntu install on the harddrive and do 1) 'sudo update-grub' to make it visible in grub of the harddrive... 2) chroot to the USB INstallation and do a manual grub install on the MBA of the USB drive.
[11:25] <minimec> johnca: MBR not MBA ;)
[11:25] <Roland-> ActionParsnip if I try to do that it will say network unreachable.
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Roland-: is there a gateway set on eth1?
[11:26] <Roland-> it is in network/interfaces

[11:27] <ActionParsnip> evil_dan2wik: apache what, binary? Data?
[11:27] <evil_dan2wik> for web data.
[11:28] <Roland-> ip route add <IP_ADDRESS>/24 dev eth1 will still do it wrong

[11:28] <Roland-> it should be .1
[11:29] <evil_dan2wik> ActionParsnip, it isn't that.

[11:31] <evil_dan2wik> ActionParsnip, not yet.
[11:31] <evil_dan2wik> I can do that now

[11:32] <ActionParsnip> Roland-: obviously change the gateway IP
[11:33] <bster> Morning. I want sendmail-bin to work on a box that doesn't have a public DNS entry. It seems that sendmail wants `hostname` to be an FQDN. I can add an FQDN to /etc/hosts, but is it okay just to make one up?
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> evil_dan2wik: you could ask in #apache
[11:34] <evil_dan2wik> ok
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> bster: if you like. Can't see why not
[11:41] <sennn_> hello,there
[11:42] <bster> ActionParsnip: thanks, I can't either. Just feels wrong. It's a global solution to what seems like a local problem.
[11:43] <bster> I just noticed #sendmail, I'll ask the same there.

[11:53] <MagicSpud> MonkeyDust but there are some lines I only see in the TTY they say something like 'unicodeencodeerror and ascii problems'
[11:55] <gr33n7007h> I could use ffmpeg or aconv but just wondering if there is gui alternative?

[12:34] <Shariff> Hi there
[12:35] <Shariff> I think i removed myself from the group of sudoers after I issued a command usermod -G dialout kevin... kevin is the only user on the system.. how do I gain the ability to use sudo again?
[12:36] <smacktalk> is there a command to give disk space and memory
[12:36] <Humbedooh> smacktalk: df -h
[12:36] <Humbedooh> and free -m
[12:37] <Humbedooh> that gives humanly readable output
[12:37] <Humbedooh> Shariff: single user mode?
[12:38] <Shariff> Nope
[12:38] <Shariff> I just never made more users
[12:38] <Humbedooh> I mean, start in single user mode
[12:38] <Shariff> oh :D
[12:38] <Humbedooh> from the boot menu, pick the recovery item
[12:38] <facepalm> Shariff, maybe ...   sudo adduser (user) sudo
[12:38] <Humbedooh> and drop to root shell
[12:39] <Shariff> facepalm:  I cannot.. I'm not authorized to use sudo anymore
[12:39] <facepalm> Oh duh, my bad, sorry.
[12:39] <Shariff> Humbedooh: and then run another usermod command to add me back go the group?
[12:39] <Humbedooh> yup
[12:39] <Shariff> Thanks!
[12:39] <Humbedooh> np
[12:40] <Ben64> Shariff: you'll probably have to add a bunch of groups
[12:40] <Shariff> For some reason I thought usermod -G adds me to another group but not remove me from another :D
[12:40] <Ben64> usermod -a -G <group> <user>
[12:40] <Shariff> Ben64, probabaly.. just have to figure out which ones again.. as long as I can sudo that won't be a problem :)
[12:40] <Ben64> to add
[12:40] <bster> Shariff: you might need to remount your filesystem r/w before you can use usermod (ref http://askubuntu.com/questions/79933)
[12:40] <Ben64> my groups = ben64 adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare mythtv
[12:41] <Ben64> you probably won't have mythtv :)
[12:41] <Shariff> Thanks a lot for all the help!
[12:42] <ash123> Hello! I am wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having with Ubuntu
[12:42] <Shariff> Kinda stupid of me to loose my proverbial keys :D
[12:43] <ash123> Ubuntu (latest version) is consistently disconnecting from the internet, it will only stay on for about 5 seconds and then takes quite a while to reconnect. I don't have this problem on Windows 7.
[12:43] <MonkeyDust> ash123  wifi?
[12:43] <ash123> I think it is something to do with 802.11bgn showing up when I type iwconfig into the Terminal, but I have no idea how to disable 802.11n
[12:43] <ash123> yes, wireless
[12:43] <ash123> I use a TP-link USB dongle
[12:43] <smacktalk> Humbedooh Thanks!
[12:44] <Humbedooh> smacktalk: np, happy to help
[12:44] <halina> you'll probably have to add a bunch of groups happy to help
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> so it's wifi, it's not internet... try connecting with a normal cable, see if the connection problem persists
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> ash123  ^^^
[12:44] <ash123> The router is in another room, it is inconvenient for me to move it to my computer
[12:45] <bster> long cable
[12:45] <ash123> Is there a way to disable 802.11n? I think that may be the problem
[12:48] <minimec> ash123: Try to find additional info abut your device and driver with th 'ID' for your device inn the output of lsusb. do a iinternet search with something like this '046d:0994 ubuntu driver' ...
[12:50] <ash123> the modle number for my USB dongle is TL-WN821N
[12:50] <ash123> model*
[12:50] <ash123> but I can't find much about it when it comes to disconnection problems and ubuntu
[12:51] <shibly> What is special about Ubuntu ?
[12:51] <ash123> sorry I am a bit of a noob, I only installed Ubuntu because it is recommended I use a linux distro for learning C
[12:51] <ash123> and Ubuntu is supposed to be the 'easy' linux distro
[12:51] <b9xr7> hello
[12:52] <shibly> hello ?
[12:53] <gr33n7007h> ash123, you could try sudo iwconfig wlan* modulation 11g
[12:53] <shibly> Isn't there any other distros better than ubuntu ?
[12:53] <ash123> i what does the modulation parameter do?
[12:53] <gr33n7007h> shibly, yep, arch
[12:53] <ash123> what*
[12:54] <shibly> what is it ? arch ?
[12:54] <minimec> ash123: try 'lsmod | grep ath9k_htc' in a terminal. is it loaded (do you get an output)?
[12:54] <gr33n7007h> sets it to a specific band n, g, b
[12:54] <ash123> im on windows 7 at the moment so i cant type it in right now
[12:54] <gr33n7007h> ah, ok
[12:54] <ash123> i wouldnt be able to speak in here on ubuntu cus of this problem
[12:54] <ash123> all i know so far: 802.11bgn is enabled
[12:55] <ash123> I am thinking only one of them should be enabled
[12:55] <ash123> but don't know how to go about doing this
[12:55] <gr33n7007h> that shouldn't really matter if they are all enabled but worth a try I suppose
[12:55] <shibly> I've tried ubuntu but It doesn't seem to be good
[12:55] <shibly> it alwayes slow
[12:55] <gr33n7007h> shibly, what do you want from it?
[12:56] <ash123> gr33n7007h: what does the 'modulation' parameter do in what you mentioned?
[12:56] <shibly> Simply a distro that works without crashing
[12:56] <logy> anyone knows an alternative to remastersys?
[12:56] <gr33n7007h> changes to either 802.11n, 802.11g etc
[12:56] <ash123> ah ok, so in your example it changed to 11g?
[12:56] <ash123> changes*
[12:57] <logy> ash123 you have wifi problem?
[12:57] <minimec> ash123: Ok. In a germen post someone recommends to disable a hardware encryption feature of the driver. see the post and commands of the user 'praseodym' in the thread. http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/wie-usb-stick-tp-link-tl-wn821n-installieren-u/
[12:57] <gr33n7007h> yep
[12:57] <shibly> bye
[12:57] <logy> is your wifi card broadcom ?
[12:57] <ash123> logy: I do yes, with Ubuntu, it immediately disconnects from the internet after successfully connecting
[12:57] <ash123> well not immediately, after about 5 seconds
[12:57] <ash123> minimec: ill check that out now
[12:57] <logy> drivers
[12:58] <minimec> ash123: So I would boot ubuntu and check if your stick uses that mentioned 'ath9k_htc' driver, and then maybe try the mentioned commands to configure the driver.
[12:58] <gr33n7007h> ash123, although it is chipset specific
[12:58] <logy> the drivers installed are not good, i had that problem but with a broadcom wifi card
[12:59] <gr33n7007h> ash123, is your NIC usb and an atheros chipset?
[13:00] <ash123> i dont fully understand what you have asked
[13:00] <ash123> cus im a bit of a noob
[13:00] <ash123> it is a TP-link USB dongle
[13:01] <gr33n7007h> ash123, so it's usb, do you know if it's an atheros chipset?
[13:01] <ash123> i dont know if it is an Atheros chipset or not
[13:02] <ash123> i will try what you guys mentioned though
[13:02] <_ynk> hi I have a problem, I can't get an old laptop to boot via USB. it has no CD drive... any suggestions?
[13:02] <logy> ash123 when you type in terminal    ---->  lspci   what is the last line you have?
[13:02] <ash123> sudo iwconfig wlan0 modulation 11g (or maybe n, since the model number of this dongle is TL-WN821N)
[13:02] <logy> _ynk did you try to change it in Boot setup?
[13:02] <ash123> logy I can't type into the terminal because I am on windows 7
[13:02] <_ynk> logy: of course. I did change to it and disabled to the hard drive to be sure
[13:03] <logy> ah yea
[13:03] <gr33n7007h> ash123, make sure you put your interface down first with ifconfig wlan* down
[13:03] <ash123> gr33n7007h, what do you mean by putting the interface down?
[13:03] <logy> then  ash123 at the desktop right click on my computer -->manage  then on the left side  ----> device manager and at NETWORK ADAPTERS you should see what wifi card you have
[13:04] <logy> _ynk you probably changed it to the Hdd (hard disk of your computer) not to the usb disk
[13:05] <gr33n7007h> brb
[13:05] <logy> _ynk also when the computer is booting it is showing like  press f9 for boot options (f9 is at my pc), also what did you use to put the linux on usb
[13:05] <ash123> logy it only says that it is a 300Mbps wireless usb adapter
[13:06] <logy> so you are using a usb adapter for internet....
[13:06] <_ynk> logy: no. just to clarify I am not a newbie and I know what I'm doing, however for some reason it won't be recognized and that's what I want to figure out
[13:06] <ash123> well i did get a wireless PCI card when i built the computer but it never worked
[13:06] <_ynk> logy: and no boot options on this pc. It's an old one :-/
[13:06] <ash123> so i gave in to a usb adapter
[13:07] <_ynk> logy: however you gave me an idea, I'll try another burner maybe :-o
[13:07] <logy> _ynk ok, in boot setup you should have another option, can be but must not be in the boot menu, which allows you to buut via usb network controller, eneable it, I had to do that on my old pentium 4
[13:07] <_ynk> logy: cus I recall usign some crappy software haha
[13:08] <logy> ok can you tell me the info about that usb adapter
[13:08] <logy> _ynk on what system are you now windows or ubuntu
[13:08] <_ynk> logy: ubuntu
[13:09] <logy> just use unetbootin, should be enough
[13:09] <ash123> logy what do you want to know? model number is TL-WN821N
[13:09] <ash123> manufacturer is TP-link
[13:09] <logy> ash123 ok that is what i wanted to know, when you log into ubuntu do you have internet via Lan cable?
[13:10] <ash123> i dont, router is too far away for a cable that long
[13:11] <ash123> no worries though, I can try what was recommended thought (sudo iwconfig wlan0 modulation 11g)
[13:11] <ash123> though*
[13:11] <Thomas86> hi all
[13:12] <Thomas86> i have a problem perhaps somebody can help or give a tip
[13:12] <Thomas86> i have two virtual linux vms
[13:12] <nomic> virtualbox?
[13:12] <Thomas86> i want to know if th path /opt/filex of vm1 have the same content
[13:12] <Thomas86> yes
[13:12] <Thomas86> (files and folders) like vm2
[13:12] <Thomas86> what opportunities are there to compare the content of the vms?
[13:12] <logy> ash123 when you go to ubuntu, put the lan cable so you have internet and open terminal and type " sudo use aptitude update && aptitude install firmware-atheros"
[13:13] <nomic> they're separate disks unless they are networked
[13:13] <nomic> totally seperate filing systems
[13:13] <ash123> my usb adapter needs new atheros firmware? does it definitely use it?
[13:13] <ash123> my OS i mean
[13:14] <Thomas86> any ideas?
[13:14] <logy> yes i just check it, that wifi card had problem with linux since  ubuntu 10
[13:14] <nomic> vms are separate machines with separate filing systems
[13:15] <ash123> ah ok
[13:15] <logy> anyone know a remastersys alternative?
[13:16] <Thomas86> nomic: i know
[13:16] <MonkeyDust> nomic  if you don't get an answer here, type /j #vbox
[13:16] <Thomas86> but i want compare the content of a special folder on two different machines
[13:17] <ash123> logy I am just wondering, how did you check that a specific usb adapter is compatible with Atheros?
[13:17] <nomic> you need a network
[13:17] <nomic> you use cmp to compare files
[13:17] <nomic> cmp file 1 file2
[13:17] <MonkeyDust> Thomas86   if you don't get an answer here, type /j #vbox
[13:17] <Thomas86> monkeydust: thanks for the info
[13:18] <logy> ash123 http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2012-10-20-tp-link-tl-wn821n-wlan-usb-300-mbit
[13:18] <Thomas86> but i think this problem is not about vbox ;-)
[13:18] <logy> seems like many people had problems with it like you
[13:18] <ash123> thanks
[13:19] <sennn> what is juniperberry.canonical.com for?
[13:20] <calvinb> can i load things that require kernel modules on a persistent usb disk?
[13:21] <asik> hey guys i have a question, does adding repositories make your pc slow? like in windows installing software?
[13:21] <sennn> what is juniperberry.canonical.com for?
[13:22] <Thomas86> ok got the problem solved whit diff
[13:22] <Thomas86> cu
[13:22] <asakapab0i> Nope it only execute when you use it.
[13:23] <spearhead> asik, adding repositories does not slow down your computer, all that does is add a line to a file and add another file. installing programs on the other hand might. With any computer the more programs that are running the slower it will be.
[13:24] <asik> thx :D
[13:24] <asakapab0i> Try typing top in cli and check what process are running.
[13:25] <asik> also guys when i press the unity button, the button at the top left corner and start typing something (example libre office) it starts the search on internet too, how can i turn that internet search off?
[13:25] <sennn> what is juniperberry.canonical.com for?
[13:25] <spearhead> !patience | sennn
[13:25] <asakapab0i> Uncheck some things in the filter.
[13:26] <sennn> ok
[13:26] <asakapab0i> Search bar also search for internet. To remove it find the filter and uncheck them.
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> sennn  searches only returned some windows7 VPN results, it's in no way ubuntu related
[13:27] <fidrawang> Hi u all
[13:27] <Seveas> sennn: it's one of canonical's servers. Why do you need to know what it's for?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> asik: imstallimg software in Windows doesnt automatically make it slow
[13:28] <asakapab0i> ls
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> asik: remove the shopping lens
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> !shoppimg
 because my computer always send NTP to this server
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> !shopping
 is that normal?
[13:29] <popey> that factoid is still wrong ☹
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> popey: you can suggest something else to the maintainer....
[13:30] <popey> yeah, i thought i did
  no ,it is a server
[13:32] <unik> good morning usa....
[13:32] <sennn> what is NTP?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> sennn: network time protocol
[13:33] <sennn> what ntp for?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> sennn: make sure systems have the same time
[13:33] <PROJAK_SX> syncing time
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> sennn: from a central source
[13:33] <sennn> thanks for your answer
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> sennn: not worked in IT I guess
[13:34] <Seveas> sennn: yes, that is normal.
[13:34] <sennn> thanks
[13:37] <rom1504> unik: watching american dad ?
[13:38] <unik> rom1504: i'm just wake up
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> unik  rom1504 this is the support channel, #ubuntu-offtopic for nice social chat, please
[13:39] <rom1504> olol
[13:39] <rom1504> you should do a bot for this too, like the language forbidden bot thing
[13:40] <rom1504> (but fine)
[13:40] <Seveas> !ot
[13:41] <Avnish> just playing with with tcpdump
[13:41] <Avnish> analyzing irc packets
[13:42] <Seveas> Avnish: rfc 1459/2812
[13:42] <daftykins> Avnish: that is completely irrelevant to this channel, please take it elsewhere until you come up with an ubuntu support question
[13:42] <Avnish> oh sorry... i will leave
[13:42] <Avnish> thanks Seveas
[13:43] <brontosaurusrex> sennn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol
[13:44] <sennn> thanks
[13:50] <vitimiti> hi
[13:50] <daftykins> greetings
[13:50] <daftykins> if you have a question, ask it
[13:52] <vitimiti> daftykins, not right now, I'm fine
[13:58] <raven737> hi, question, does ubuntu support intel rapid storage (RST) such that I can get some kind of management tool working?
[13:59] <bajin-lee> hi
[14:00] <Oscar> lol
[14:01] <bajin-lee> how to find my file received from bluetooth
[14:01] <ezio> how do i get gdb pretty printer
[14:01] <bajin-lee> i can not find them
[14:01] <daftykins> raven737: i think you refer to the wrong tech, perhaps you mean an alternative to the matrix storage manager
[14:03] <vitimiti> bajin-lee, if you know the name of the file, you could find it with the command "find"
[14:03] <bajin-lee> yeah
[14:03] <raven737> daftykins: yes
[14:03] <bajin-lee> thanks,vitimiti
[14:04] <raven737> daftykins: so i should try the matrix storage manager?
[14:04] <daftykins> raven737: intel's RAID tends to not work directly i think, so it tends to be mdadm or similar people use instead which means the kernel gives management directly
[14:04] <daftykins> raven737: you're going about RAID under Linux the wrong way, ultimately
[14:06] <raven737> daftykins: I know, not trying to do raid in intel. My windows raid just failed and the bios tools don't help me as far as i see so i booted ubuntu in the hope i can fix it from there (force drived online, it failed after power outage, i am fairly sure the drives are ok)
[14:06] <ezio> anyone know the package for python libstdc++
[14:07] <Mithrildar> Is there an easy way to copy files to /usr/local/ without messing up all owners and permissions for projects without make install?
[14:07] <daftykins> raven737: does the Intel RAID manager BIOS show the volume as degraded?
[14:08] <xcalibur> hola
[14:08] <raven737> daftykins: well, it shows all drives as "member drive offline"
[14:09] <shashwat> I followed instructions from here [ http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx ], I am trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on late 2011 Macbook pro.  When I boot the machine, it says "Operating system not found".
[14:09] <raven737> daftykins: not exactly failed i guess, sounds like i could somehow make them online again it it might work
[14:09] <raven737> daftykins: dmraid might work?
[14:10] <raven737> daftykins: oh god i don't know my root password ><
[14:11] <daftykins> raven737: i'm not 100% sure you can just fire up Linux and see the Windows based setup as it was
[14:12] <Mithrildar> You shouldn't know your root password, just use su or sudo to do stuff as root
[14:12] <raven737> daftykins: i guess, i will try to install on a new drive and try the intel management utilities
[14:13] <raven737> Mithrildar: yes, su asks for password, i set this up, it's my fault ><
[14:13] <daftykins> raven737: apparently dmraid would be the one, but you're risking your data i'd say. so i'd have the two drives imaged up onto another disk as a backup before trying anything
[14:13] <raven737> daftykins: good idea, thank you
[14:13] <daftykins> raven737: give clonezilla a go perhaps
[14:14] <daftykins> not sure if that's the right name now, hrmm
[14:14] <raven737> daftykins: ok, thank you. Hmm, the drives are fairly small, I would like to image them into files so that I can restore from those files if needed
[14:14] <Mithrildar> Raven737 that's the password of your account, not of the root account afaik
[14:15] <Mithrildar> Haven't used su in ages though, su is evil
[14:15] <ax562> anyone have any experience over clocking ubuntu systems?  12.04 LTS 64-Bit
[14:15] <raven737> Mithrildar: ah, thank you
[14:16] <daftykins> ax562: overclocking is OS independant
[14:16] <raven737> daftykins: yes, clonezilla seems to be the one
[14:16] <pdo_fn14> Mithrildar: You talking about su is endangering some security aspects?.
[14:17] <Mithrildar> Yes
[14:18] <ax562> daftykins: I am unable to accomplish over clock in linux/ubuntu.  OC processor is independent but communication from user to cpu is os dependent.
[14:18] <sivarjun> hello guys how do i use my ubuntu laptop as a hotspot while its already connected to wifi, im not using ethernet
[14:18] <raven737> daftykins & Mithrildar  thanks for the help
[14:18] <daftykins> ax562: communication? you don't overclock with OS tools ;)
[14:18] <daftykins> you can, but nobody serious does
[14:19] <daftykins> ax562: anyway, this is more relevant conversation for #hardware / ##hardware - not here, as that's not ubuntu support
[14:19] <ax562> daftykins: you use specific linux based modules to accomplish writing to registers.
[14:19] <daftykins> that has nothing to do with overclocking
[14:20] <sivarjun>  how do i use my ubuntu laptop as a hotspot while its already connected to wifi, im not using ethernet
[14:20] <daftykins> sivarjun: you likely can't unless your wireless adapter has multiple streams
[14:20] <daftykins> why would you share wireless to wireless? you'd just let the other device connect to wireless too? :)
[14:20] <ax562> I'm not trying to get into of what is/what isn't.  If #hardware is the place to go I would appreciate confirmation.  I'm surprised no one has oc in ubuntu.
[14:21] <sivarjun> cuz wireless is user login only and only one device can use it at a time
[14:21] <sivarjun> im able to do it windows via mhotspot
[14:21] <daftykins> ax562: i believe you don't understand how overclocking works at all, because it doesn't have any relevance to the OS at all. i don't recall if the channel is single or double #, i am not going to check for you
[14:22] <daftykins> sivarjun: i think i've heard of hostapd before for ubuntu / Linux
[14:22] <ax562> daftykins: OC is writing to certain registers and changing hex values to certain registers.
[14:23] <ax562> multiplier values.
[14:23] <daftykins> only if you're using OS tools to do it, which isn't the only way
[14:23] <ax562> thanks for that.
[14:24] <ax562> well I could mount my cpu to a specific communication dev tool but why on earth would I do that.
[14:26] <knob> Guys, using Nautilus, when I try to Connect to a Server ( sftp://ip.add.ress)       I get an error message saying "Oops! Something went wrong. Don't have permission to access the requested location"
[14:26] <knob> Any idea what could be going on?
[14:28] <daftykins> sftp://user:pass@address/ ?
[14:28] <knob> daftykins, trying that now
[14:28] <daftykins> i wouldn't do so graphically though
[14:28] <daftykins> i'd scp
[14:29] <knob> Bash: No such file or directory.
[14:29] <knob> I.. wow
[14:30] <daftykins> knob: how did BASH come into it?
[14:30] <knob> I don't know man... I...
[14:30] <knob> sorry man
[14:31] <knob> I just ran with FileZilla and it worked... so I am going to go with that.
[14:31] <knob> Thanks :)
[14:43] <Basketball> in kingsoft office how can i have it not boot to the online templates page
[14:45] <brontosaurusrex> daftykins: its probably 'sftp user@host'
