[00:00] <bubbasaures> macifikation, I would start with lubuntu
[00:00] <Zangune> User123xy2 maybe you will find this link useful http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
[00:00] <systemddd> Crunchbang is also another good alternative for elderly hardware.  But openbox could be daunting for the uninitiated.
[00:00] <w00tburger> can someone help me repair some broken repos? I cant seem to install anything. I had gone through the ubuntu forums and its still broke
[00:01] <w00tburger> id just like to be able to upgrade 13.04 to the latest
[00:01] <bazhang> w00tburger, what version of ubuntu
[00:01] <User123xy2> Well the problem is amm I only have the KVM access to server since it's webhost but ok I'll try.
[00:01] <bubbasaures> w00tburger, Pastebin the sources.list
[00:01] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | w00tburger
[00:01] <bubbasaures> w00tburger, And sources.list.d
[00:01] <teward> w00tburger: you need to specify the old-releases repository to upgrade to 13.10 and then from 13.10 to 14.04, then from 14.04 to 14.10.  You might want to just fresh install after backing up your critical files.
[00:01] <w00tburger> sure, one sec
[00:02] <teward> w00tburger: as you upgrade from release to release to release, the chance of everything breaking increases more and more - from 13.04 to 14.10, I'd just clean install...
[00:02] <bubbasaures> w00tburger, nix of the lists if you're eol.
[00:02] <macifikation> systemddd and bubbasaures i have forgot to mention this is for my 6 year old, so i am in need of something kid friendly. He is used to working on a Mac. Whould lubuntu be ok for him?
[00:02] <bazhang> macifikation, sure
[00:02] <systemddd> lubuntu is fairly straight forward.
[00:03] <systemddd> very simple and generic UI
[00:03] <User123xy2> Hmm but why does my webpage displays all in white but before it was normaly, (I wasn't editing it)
[00:03] <bubbasaures> macifikation, Heh, probably smarter/faster than both of us together
[00:03] <w00tburger> yeah the erlease is EOL.
[00:03] <w00tburger> 13.10
[00:03] <macifikation> should i be looking at their older releases?
[00:03] <w00tburger> there is no wasy way to upgrade, get another source list and hope it works?
[00:04] <bubbasaures> w00tburger, look at the eol upgrade by the bot.
[00:04] <systemddd> Flash and modern browser girth is what will slow it down.  An old release won't help that.
[00:04] <macifikation> and kudos to ALL of you for being able to read all of this. My eyes are hurting and i havent even been here for 10mins! lol
[00:04] <systemddd> I wouldn't consider old than 12.04 LTS.
[00:05] <bubbasaures> macifikation, YOu can turn off join and part
[00:06] <macifikation> yeah i did but the text is so tiny its hard to read
[00:06] <macifikation> i feel like a blind old man! lol
[00:07] <macifikation> systemddd you think the newest release will work?
[00:07] <k1l> macifikation: try lubuntu. that is made for slow and old hardwrae.
[00:08] <macifikation> hey! who you calling slow and old? lol jk
[00:08] <systemddd> I do.  Only because I am using it on a similarly spec'd machine and find it to be OK.
[00:08] <systemddd> Pentium 4 - 3.2Ghz, 1.5GB Ram, and an old 5400RPM 70GB HDD.  It is doing fine.
[00:09] <systemddd> Lubuntu idles around ~250MB of ram.
[00:09] <macifikation> ok systemdd then i shall take your advice my good man
[00:09] <systemddd> Again, it is the web browsers that pull the resources.
[00:10] <systemddd> So maybe look into something extra lightweight on that front.
[00:10] <hagen> I love Ubuntustudio 14.04 (sorry, just had to say this! :-))
[00:11] <macifikation> what is avalible? he plays on abcya.com alot if that tells you anything
[00:12] <User123xy2> Can somebody tell me how to downgrade php version from 5.5.12 to 5.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 ?
[00:12] <w00tburger> thanks for stearing me in the right direction fellas
[00:13] <systemddd> Midori is pretty light but I don't think it has flash.  So no flash-based games.
[00:13] <thelp> HELLO!  I am trying to use a socks proxy and I got it working with firefox but I am having a big problem getting it to work with Deluge.
[00:13] <systemddd> I don't immediately have any good suggestions for that.  Google may know better.
[00:14] <thelp> I ran ssh -ND 7337<EMAIL_ADDRESS>locally.
[00:14] <macifikation> we just use safari but i know thats out of the question
[00:14] <thelp> When I change the firefox settings to use localhost 7337 socks5 it works great!
[00:15] <thelp> However, when I go into Deluge and use socks5 without authentication with the same settings I cannot get torrents to download.
[00:15] <Core__> Hello, I have created an encrypted drive, how may I automate the mounting of this?
[00:15] <thelp> There aren't any errors so I don't know what to do now!?!?
[00:16] <systemddd> the whole point is that you are directly involved with the mounting for security!
[00:16] <k1l> thelp: maybe the proxy blocks the ports?
[00:17] <macifikation> this is all beyond my scope. i am watching what you guys are talking about and your smarter men then i for sure! lol
[00:17] <thelp> kil: how would I know?  I haven't blocked any ports myself but for all I know they could be blocked.
[00:17] <Core__> systemddd, I want it to mount to a specific folder and ask for a password (like the system drive does)
[00:17] <systemddd> what kind of encryption are you using?
[00:17] <thelp> The only change I made to the server is allow tcp port forwarding in the ssh configuration file
[00:18] <Core__> Hmm
[00:18] <Core__> the one that ubuntu default utility uses
[00:18] <systemddd> encfs, truecrypt...etc.
[00:18] <thelp> kil: it works for web
[00:18] <Core__> LUKS?
[00:19] <thelp> k1l: doesn't bittorrent use random outgoing ports?
[00:20] <systemddd> http://askubuntu.com/questions/63594/mount-encrypted-volumes-from-command-line
[00:20] <Core__> systemddd, thank pyou
[00:20] <Core__> you*
[00:21] <thelp> k1l: the only error I have to go on is "openbittorrent.com: Error: timed out" which is the tracker for the torrent
[00:21] <k1l> thelp: i am not familiar with proxy and torrent
[00:21] <thelp> k1l: ok, thank you anyway
[00:21] <Zangune> Core__ automount at login is a bit more complicated http://askubuntu.com/questions/103835
[00:22] <abelardo> que bueno es nuestra sistema operativo
[00:22] <thelp> I am trying to download Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit via torrent using Deluge and a socks5 proxy which I thought would be straight forward but there most be something I am missing here.
[00:22] <abelardo> lo mejor que le pudo pasar a ubuntu fue mesclarse con mate
[00:22] <systemddd> you can script it with bash and expect.
[00:22] <abelardo> ando enamorado de mi O.S
[00:22] <systemddd> ...but that probably means having your password in plaintext somewhere...
[00:23] <k1l> !es | abelardo
[00:23] <Core__> Zangune, thanks
[00:23] <Zangune> Core__ you are welcome
[00:23] <Zangune> systemddd yes, as you can read there
[00:24] <abelardo> GRACIAS K1LUBOTTU
[00:24] <jak3000> abelardo understand?
[00:25] <Core__> Another quick question, I noted the ubuntu remixes. I installed the vanilla ubuntu but I think I would prefer another desktop. Is it not recommended to do it that way?
[00:26] <bubbasaures> Core__, adding desktops is not a big issue, they will share apps.
[00:26] <thelp> does anyone know how to turn off the "has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]" and joined messages?
[00:27] <systemddd> If you installed another DE you'll have extra packages from the other in the form of DE-specific functional pieces like File managers and the like.  But it won't really hurt much else.
[00:27] <bazhang> thelp, is there a button top left of your client?
[00:27] <Zangune> bazhang he uses the webchat ;)
[00:28] <bazhang> !notunity | Core__
[00:28] <bazhang> try gnome-shell or the fallback Core__
[00:28] <bazhang> Zangune, yes I am aware, thanks
[00:28] <Zangune> bazhang ok
[00:29] <Bashing-om> macifikation: Hang in there, a matter of time and effort to learn - here is a good place. None of us were born knowing what we know.
[00:29] <Core__> thank you
[00:29] <Core__> gnome-shell will install the gnome completely?
[00:29] <thelp> bazhang: there is, I will check all of the options ... I had in my mind a way to do it with a typed command I will look into the gui options to see  (thank you)
[00:30] <ranger81> is it possible for a KVM VM to be in same network as host?
[00:30] <macifikation> its alot to take in lol. i used to be all over mIRC when i was a kid and then i just stopped and all the knowledge with it, things have come a long way
[00:30] <godbod>  Hello all, does top use tty?
[00:31] <k1l> godbod: can you rephrase that?
[00:31] <k1l> godbod: or be more specific?
[00:31] <godbod>  does the top command in linux uses tty ?
[00:31] <systemddd> Sure.  Bridged networking.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking
[00:32] <k1l> godbod: no
[00:32] <bazhang> godbod, no the terminal
[00:32] <macifikation> ok guys im gonna burn this thing then hop on the Mac and talk to you
[00:32] <Core__> Sorry but I just installed gnome-shell, I selected gdm when promoted, do i just restart to switch to gnome?
[00:32] <bazhang> Core__, log out then re login
[00:32] <k1l> Core__: choose gnome on the login screen
[00:33] <Core__> ok thank you
[00:34] <godbod>  Why do we need to use the command "top" in batch modH
[00:35] <macifikation> ok hope this works DLed it on the Mac converted the .iso to a .cdr and burning now. hope it boots
[00:35] <k1l> godbod: do we?
[00:36] <k1l> godbod: and if you dont rejoin this channel all the time it would be easier to talk to you
[00:39] <macifikation> did i miss something?
[00:40] <godbod>  I am having the error message : top: failed to get tH
[00:40] <Zangune> macifikation about?
[00:40] <macifikation> i dunno? thats why i asked lol
[00:42] <macifikation> ok its done burning, hopping on the Mac now
[00:46] <Zangune> godbod what did you try to do? What is the origin of this error?
[00:50] <macifikation> well it booted, lets see if it installs
[00:50] <teaearlgraycold> So I just enabled X11 forwarding over SSH, restarted my machine and now whenever I try to log in the screen flashes and I get put back at login
[00:50] <Zangune> macifikation it should
[00:51] <macifikation> should i use LVM?
[00:52] <k1l> teaearlgraycold: make sure the .Xauthority file belongs to user:user and not root:root
[00:52] <teaearlgraycold> k1l, thanks
[00:52] <teaearlgraycold> That's it
[00:52] <teaearlgraycold> So I just need to chown it?
[00:53] <macifikation> i am trying to replace windows xp thats on it
[00:53] <k1l> teaearlgraycold: that comes from starting GUI apps with sudo.
[00:54] <teaearlgraycold> k1l, now they're showing as: user root
[00:55] <k1l> teaearlgraycold: make it user:user (where user is your users name) with sudo chown user:user filename
[00:56] <Bashing-om> macifikation: Short answer LVM, NO, LVM is available for particular applications, not for general use desk top .
[00:56] <teaearlgraycold> k1l, gives me "invalid user: 'user:user'
[00:56] <teaearlgraycold> Works, though
[00:56] <k1l> teaearlgraycold: "whoami" givey you what?
[00:56] <k1l> *gives
[00:56] <teaearlgraycold> just my username
[00:56] <macifikation> is it gonna hurt anything if i checked it?
[00:57] <k1l> yeah, replace "user" with that what "whoami" just gave you
[00:57] <teaearlgraycold> I'm in
[00:57] <macifikation> i kinda jumped the gun
[00:57] <Bashing-om> macifikation: Make your life mote difficult. Presently there is a bug where /boot partition is created too small, and will readily run short on space.
[00:58] <teaearlgraycold> k1l, is it possible to forward the entire X11 server over SSH?
[00:58] <Bashing-om> mote/more*
[00:58] <k1l> teaearlgraycold: you mean remote desktop. ssh forward works for seperate windows
[00:58] <macifikation> oh ok so......... what should i do at this point? reboot it?
[00:59] <teaearlgraycold> k1l, well I know remote desktop exists. Just curious if I could startX and set display output to a remote client
[00:59] <k1l> not that i am aware of.
[00:59] <teaearlgraycold> Alright
[00:59] <Bashing-om> macifikation: Where are you at presntly in the install process ? .. Can yo use the option " go back " and uncheck that option ?
[01:00] <macifikation> no i JUST got past that point. i just did a HARD shutdown and restarted
[01:02] <dorkusmaximus> do i need separate swap spaces for separate distros of linux?
[01:02] <bubbasaures> dorkusmaximus, no
[01:03] <k1l> dorkusmaximus: yes if you want to use hibernation
[01:06] <arvut> hi, does openrc work for initsystem in ubuntu?
[01:07] <lindsay1> I have a question how can i change the delay of the screen before it's turning off i'm using fluxbox
[01:09] <macifikation> Bashing-om: i am reinstalling with no LVM now
[01:09] <Bashing-om> macifikation: Good, better choice in this instance.
[01:10] <macifikation> lets see how this goes
[01:10] <macifikation> he should be able to use it, he programs arduinos so he should be ok
[01:11] <s2013> i have ubuntu 12 32bits. i need to install graphicsmagick 1.3.20 but i cant seem to find the version that owrks for 32 bits
[01:11] <s2013> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=graphicsmagick would any of those work?
[01:11] <Bashing-om> macifikation: Dual booting with XP, or "erase disk and install ubuntu " ?
[01:12] <macifikation> erase disk--- We have never been a windows family, have always had Macs
[01:12] <s2013> Linux ubuntu 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:15:33 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[01:12] <s2013> this is what i have
[01:13] <neinmm> hello, can someone help me with PPAs? i added a ppa, but when i apt-get update, it doesnt ever hit the new ppa
[01:13] <neinmm> the information is all in /etc/apt/sources.list.d though
[01:13] <macifikation> i had this computer laying around so i decided its time for him to have his own, just can't afford another Mac at the moment
[01:13] <Bashing-om> macifikation: You will find lubuntu easy to use and once you have some familiarity, greatly customizable .
[01:14] <Bashing-om> macifikation: He (6 year old ) will do fine on this operating system. Welcome to our world.
[01:14] <macifikation> fantastic! ill just have to brush the dust off, haven't been in terminal for a long time
[01:14] <s2013> im gonna try to build it from source
[01:15] <arvut> noone got info regarding openrc on ubuntu?
[01:15] <Zangune> lindsay1 I think you have to use xset http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.5/doc/man/man1/xset.1.html
[01:15] <macifikation> Bashing-om: i appreciate all of your assistance
[01:16] <macifikation> and also everyone else who has helped me
[01:16] <Bashing-om> macifikation: Not to worry .. introductory is GUI .. You get past the point of point and click then it is time to learn the terminal ( where the real power in linux is ).
[01:16] <macifikation> i think its almost done installing
[01:17] <macifikation> the last time i used linux was ubuntu 9.01 :)
[01:18] <macifikation> i don't count Mac
[01:19] <macifikation> they still have all the TUX suites?
[01:19] <dorkusmaximus> wish i could get a bootloader to work right
[01:20] <bubbasaures> dorkusmaximus, First kernel in grub is on the OS with grub control.
[01:21] <bubbasaures> grub-menu*
[01:21] <dorkusmaximus> well, i think one problem is ive installed windows 7, ubuntu, fedora, debian, and slackware, so ive had grub, elilo, and whatever windows uses.
[01:22] <dorkusmaximus> ubuntu was the last os i installed
[01:22] <dorkusmaximus> and on first boot, i saw a menu.
[01:22] <dorkusmaximus> but once i booted into windows and then restarted, it would only boot into windows
[01:22] <dorkusmaximus> so i have no idea whats going on anymore

[01:26] <therue> should i get Gufw- the firewall application? my router already has a firewall doesn't it?
[01:27] <edition> lscpu reports that I have a 800MHz cpu. This is incorrect.
[01:27] <bubbasaures> !bootinfo | dorkusmaximus run this script for a readable script of what is there.
[01:28] <Zangune> therue no, you do not have to get Gufw and yes, it has a firewall
[01:28] <s2013> what does apt-get update actually do
[01:28] <s2013> im confused.. everytime i run it. it seems like it installs new things. even if i ran it few mins prior
[01:28] <bubbasaures> s2013, sync you with the repos.
[01:29] <s2013> even if i just ran it?
[01:29] <bubbasaures> s2013, update only shows you whats there, you have to run upgrade to install it.
[01:29] <edition> is my cpu starting to fail?
[01:29] <s2013> i know
[01:30] <bubbasaures> s2013, Than communicate in a clear manner please.
[01:30] <s2013> ok i mean what does it exactly do even if i just ran it
[01:30] <s2013> why does it seem like its 'syncing' again
[01:31] <macifikation> it installed and is up a running!!!!
[01:31] <Bashing-om> macifikation: :) .. You do good work !
[01:31] <bubbasaures> s2013, pastebin run sudo apt-get update than sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:32] <squinty> s2013:  because you as the operator issued the command to redownload the listings of files available for installing.
[01:32] <Zangune> edition if you have an Intel processor you can check it with that program http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-031726.htm anyway this is not related to Ubuntu, so you should ask elsewhere
[01:33] <macifikation> but now i have another question....... how do i set the clock to 12hr and not 24hr?
[01:33] <s2013> anyways, im trying to build something from source. i ran autoreconf i get this error: configure.ac:14: error: Autoconf version 2.69 or higher is required

[01:44] <byerley> Hi, having issues with my laptop's partition table, gparted was giving me a "Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt." error (and loaded fine ignoring it) so I deleted the GPT with "fixparts", but now I'm getting a "driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes". Search results are all unrelated, any advice?
[01:44] <GBeats> lol, can i rephrase, can i have it in stupidmans terms (must be if u got married) :D joke

[01:46] <GBeats> i have windows7 or lubuntu avaiable to use
[01:47] <macifikation_> they just helped me get lubuntu installed
[01:48] <macifikation_> i feel like special ed listening to (watching if you prefer) these guys talk lol
[01:48] <GBeats> i found this debootstrapper but i dont want to start anything because i dont understand how it works and i cannot do anything if my OS's get screwed
[01:48] <GBeats> 8-)

[02:03] <arun_> anyone here have configured plesk with centova cast ?
[02:16] <a_p3rson|D> Hey guys, having a problem where my old Satellite A215 (on 14.04.1 32bit), with the laptop-mode-tools package installed.
[02:17] <a_p3rson|D> Trying to get the brightness to adjust when I dis/connect from AC power, though after setting it just fine, the system locks up. Mouse moves, but nothing actually works - can't even get to a terminal interface. Any ideas?
[02:23] <a_p3rson|D> If anyone needs a bit more information about any of laptop-mode-tools conf files on my machine, feel free to ask.
[02:32] <hunt> im wondering why does ubuntu use aptitude
[02:32] <hunt> i just tried arch and i found pacman to be a much more enjoyable and simple package manager to use
[02:33] <mguy> hunt: perhaps because ubuntu is based upon debian
[02:33] <arun_> anyone here have configured plesk with centova cast ?
[02:33] <hunt> mguy: yea ok same question applies for debian
[02:33] <hunt> mguy: although i suppose i should ask #Debian then
[02:33] <mguy> hunt: probably because 20 years ago pacman didn't exist
[02:33] <mguy> and it might be a pain to switch now ;)
[02:34] <hunt> mguy: you think thats the only reason?
[02:34] <hunt> mguy: no 'aptitude is great'
[02:34] <hunt> m
[02:35] <mguy> hunt: what do you dislike so much about apt
[02:35] <hunt> how does the shell know how to autocomplete for specific options for specific commands
[02:35] <hunt> mguy: i dont dislike apt per say but compared to pacman its a lot less enjoyable to use
[02:36] <hunt> mguy: pacman seems a hell of a lot simpler to use, and more powerful
[02:36] <hunt> mguy: although i doubt its actually more powerful
[02:36] <hunt> mguy: also apt overwhelms you with nitty gritties of the installation which is some-what annoying, pacman presents everything in a very simple and organized fashion
[02:37] <hunt> mguy: and also i understand how pacman works from using it whereas apt is a little bit more confusing
[02:37] <hunt> mguy: all of these things are minor but all togetgher they make apt a lot less desirable'
[02:38] <hunt> mguy: i would reccomend giving the arch live disk a try just to experience pacman , because i think its really a great thing
[02:38] <hunt> mguy: and if ubuntu adopted it that would ubuntu ultra-sexy to me
[02:38] <mguy> I wouldn't hold your breath
[02:39] <hunt> mguy: honestly the ideal ubuntu for me would just be a prepackaged arch distribution
[02:39] <hunt> mguy: yea i dont expect anything to change
[02:39] <hunt> mguy: nobodies even asking for a change
[02:39] <hunt> mguy: and there arent big enough benefits to justify it
[02:39] <hunt> mguy: assuming it would be difficult to manage the transition

[02:42] <hunt> so does the kernel 3.16 have built in sixaxis support and sixaxis bluetooth support yet?
[02:45] <hunt> anything you guys are excited for upcoming in ubunut?
[02:45] <hunt> is unity 8 out yet
[02:47] <a_p3rson|D> Anyone able to help me diagnose a lock-up issue using 14.04.1 with the laptop-mode-tools package installed/in use?
[02:53] <arun_> anyone here have configured plesk with centova cast ?
[02:55] <hunt> i just ran systemctl and got "failed to get dbus connection"
[02:55] <hunt> whyyyyy
[02:57] <hunt> hmm what can cause a kernel panic?
[02:58] <hunt> heres one thing that happenned that might: when i applied thermal paste to my fan and cpu it at first was misapplied to the base of the fan, but i didnt reapply it
[02:59] <DreewAlex> check this out ppl. Tell me what ya'l think. -----> http://WeeklyYouthPay.com/?ref=476915
[02:59] <Naruni> u
[03:01] <Naruni> hello, i just installed virtual machine manager per the wiki instructions and have trouble getting kvm to work. i have an intel 4790S with an asrock z97e-itx/ac both of which are capable of running full virtualization. yet when i run sudo kvm-ok the output is: INFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
[03:02] <Naruni> im new to ubuntu so i dont know how to scour the wiki very well and need some help
[03:02] <DVCE_> hi everybody
[03:02] <DVCE_> anybody here know about ksh ?
[03:02] <DVCE_> #
[03:03] <DreewAlex> @Naruni, what error are you getting?
[03:03] <DVCE_> command "while" ?
[03:04] <DVCE_> "grep"
[03:04] <DVCE_> "|" ?
[03:07] <hunt> can anyone help me?
[03:07] <arun_> anyone here have configured plesk with centova cast ?
[03:07] <hunt> for some reason systemctl is telling me it cant get a dbus connection
[03:08] <archmonk> hi
[03:08] <archmonk> is there a good resource for creating appindicator ?
[03:09] <archmonk> what i want is to have an app indicator that opens a file in vim
[03:11] <hunt> im getting kernel panics, can someone help me diagnose them please
[03:11] <arun_> please help me configure plesk with centova cast
[03:11] <hunt> im assuming its a cpu issue but i cant figureout how to confirm it, since there doesnt appear to be a temperature problem and it passes memtest
[03:12] <Naruni> DreewAlex, no error, just the result of sudo kvm-ok (under the xen hypervisor kernel) isINFO: Your CPU does not support KVM extensions
[03:13] <Guest-5131> hmm
[03:13] <tomboy64> i'm a little bit despairing. i added a custom ppa to /etc/apt/sources.list (deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/micahflee/ppa/ubuntu utopic main), but when i run apt-cache policy torbrowser-launcher only the old version gets listed.
[03:14] <owen1> i want to update the bios. is that risky?
[03:15] <nopf> hunt: memtest doesn't use all cpu thermal power. are you getting panic when the system is mostly idle also? or only when working with files and windows? or while some devices are active?
[03:16] <nmz787> owen1: it can be if the update program doesn't check the CRC checksum of the file. or if your computer has a bad power connection and is likely to get turned off midway through the update
[03:16] <hunt> nopf: its generally during medium usage particularly when a lot of ram would be used (youtube videos and games). it just happenned while installing steam for some reason
[03:16] <nopf> hunt: when i last suspected thermal problems, i used a very powerful external fan (server rack top) to cool the cpu. panics didn't happen then any more, so i knew it was that
[03:17] <owen1> nmz787: other than plugging the power cable, is there anything i should do?
[03:17] <hunt> nopf: i may have improperly applied paste to my cpu fan but is there any way to confirm that these are thermal problems before i go rutting around in my box? it will be no easy task because its a very compact box
[03:17] <arun_> please help me configure plesk with centova cast
[03:17] <nopf> hunt: according to your story i'd suspect the cpu, yes. but if you can't supply extra cooling, you cannot be sure
[03:18] <hunt> nopf: theres no room in my box to even add additional fans, its a node 304
[03:18] <hunt> nopf: would checking the temperatures as the panic approaches not work?
[03:18] <nopf> hunt: if it's unspecific with different usage patterns, this even more points to the hardware
[03:19] <hunt> nopf: it consistantly happens with games
[03:19] <hunt> nopf: but its unclear what the pattern is otherwise
[03:19] <Ben64> tomboy64: wrong ppa, check the site and use the command(s) listed there to add the ppa, don't do it manually
[03:19] <hunt> nopf: it doesnt happen with wesnoth
[03:19] <nopf> hunt: yes, do that too, though a cpu might heat up in different places than the temp sensors
[03:20] <hunt> nopf: REALLY??? oh my thats got to be the issue because i suspect that i dont have the cpu entirely covered

[03:20] <unopaste> easybaby you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[03:20] <hunt> nopf: shouldnt a stress test of some sort determine whether or not this was the case?
[03:20] <nopf> hunt: if you don't suspect anything else (like the harddrive or gpu), the cpu is the most probably cause
[03:20] <hunt> nopf: i have no dedicated gpu, and i dont really suspect the hard drive
[03:21] <Bill_Compton> system lags when accessing dash. ubuntu 14.04 - advice?
[03:21] <nopf> hunt: it seems you are already running a stress test 'with games'
[03:21] <nopf> hunt: and if the gpu is in the cpu, it's suspect even more
[03:21] <hunt> nopf: sure but that may indicate different issues
[03:21] <hunt> nopf: ok i suppose ill reapply my thermal paste and see if things are fixed
[03:22] <nopf> hunt: in dozens of years, the only things i had ever such problems with were 1 cpu temp and 2 bad ram
[03:22] <nopf> hunt: everything else (hd, gpu, bad connectors on pci) showed much more specific symptoms
[03:23] <hunt> nopf: lets hope thats what it is, this has been bugging me for weeks
[03:25] <nopf> hunt: else the only way to be sure would be as i said additional cooling from a powerful and loud fan through the whole case
[03:26] <wayfaring> Howdy
[03:27] <ilinunix_> hello, I am  a freshman
[03:29] <ilinunix_> this is my fiest time to chat with irc, and I konw little about it ,
[03:29] <owen1> i am trying to follow the steps for updating the bios. it say: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 and sudo dd if=biosimage.img of=/dev/sdb    is /dev/sdb a mistake and it should be /dev/sdb1 ?
[03:33] <blackyboy> owen1: which motherboard you using ?
[03:34] <owen1> blackyboy: http://yurovsky.github.io/2014/06/12/thinkpad-x2-second-generation-linux/  does it help?
[03:34] <owen1> X1C2 Intel i5-4200U 4GB
[03:35] <owen1> (not sure if what i posted is mother board. it's next to system unit)
[03:36] <blackyboy> you using the same Laptop ?
[03:37] <blackyboy> May i know the reason why you trying to update your BIOS ?
[03:37] <Core__> when i run apt-get can i define a custom install location?
[03:38] <owen1> blackyboy: hibernate doesn't work. i followed the advice to modify sudo nano /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla and also installed and used gnome-tweak-tool  but closing the lid doesn't hibernate.
[03:39] <owen1> so i thought that my only chance is updating the bios
[03:40] <arunpyasi> please help me configure plesk with centova cast
[03:41] <kungr> Are there any tools for doing a recovery on a system that won't boot? (Ubuntu)
[03:42] <RedPenguin> If you are doing ClearQAM, in the channel editor, does Channel Num have to be the actual QAM or can you make your own?
[03:43] <RedPenguin> My cable co throws the CQAM everywhere and I'd like to make my own map like a CableCard does, so 13 vs 83-11 type of thing
[03:44] <Bashing-om> kungr: Many tools, what is your end goal ?
[03:44] <kungr> get it to boot
[03:44] <kungr> well load
[03:44] <kungr> I tries to dist-upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 on a whim and it broke. Awesome.
[03:45] <kungr> *tried
[03:46] <blackyboy> owen1: its a bad idea to update the BIOS for this issue..
[03:46] <blackyboy> kungr: Use the Ubuntu Live CD
[03:46] <Bashing-om> kungr: As a 1st approach, in the liveDVD boot option is " boot from 1st hard drive" , IF your install is in the 1st hard drive, what results when you choose this option ?
[03:48] <Bashing-om> kungr: (dist-upgrade is not the command to perform a release upgrade)
[03:48] <owen1> blackyboy: thanks for the advice! i guess i can continue my search on googe for solving the hibrentation.
[03:51] <kungr> Bashing-om, no jsut the normal install prompts
[03:52] <Bashing-om> kungr: When you reboot, as soon as ubuntu splash screen appears, depress and hold the right shift key -> boot options menu .
[03:52] <Bashing-om> kungr: ^^ in the liveDVD .
[03:53] <kungr> Bashing-om, k brb
[03:56] <hunt> nopf: i reapplied the thermal paste and took off the case shell but no luck
[03:57] <hunt> nopf: this cpu has worked before with this fan on a different mobo but ive never really tested the integrated graphics
[03:58] <kungr> Bashing-om, I hit shift, 1st hard disk and ended up here (liveCD). I do have 4-HDDs
[03:59] <Bashing-om> kungr: Raid ?
[03:59] <kungr> no
[04:00] <kungr> I am on a ubuntu livecd and my install is ubuntu-gnome
[04:00] <hunt> im getting kernel panics can someone help
[04:01] <Bashing-om> kungr: OK, let's look at what we are working with ..-> sudo fdisk -lu | pastebinit <-. See about where to (re-install grib, see what then results.
[04:01] <Bashing-om> grib/grub*
[04:05] <kungr> Bashing-om, brb my bios didn't pick up my SSD.
[04:06] <kungr> Bashing-om, thank-you for the help i have to step out a second.
[04:06] <cfhowlett> hunt kernel panics on an installed system?  or live session?
[04:06] <arunpyasi> please help me configure plesk with centova cast
[04:06] <Bashing-om> kungr: k
[04:07] <hunt> cfhowlett: installed system. previously i didnt seem to be getting them on a a live disk of ubuntu but i did with live disks of other distros
[04:07] <Svetlana> arunpyasi: how can we help you?
[04:07] <cfhowlett> hunt, first thing: boot an older kernel.
[04:08] <hunt> cfhowlett: ive tried that on different distros, still worth doing here?
[04:12] <RedPenguin> doh! I just realize my question earlier posted in the wrong room
[04:14] <owen1> is it possible to make my Home key as Shift+insert?
[04:15] <hunt> can anyone help me understand these kernel panics im having
[04:49] <eblip> does ubuntu use systemd
[04:49] <g_un1t> eblip, not yet
[04:50] <eblip> ah thanks gunit
[04:58] <vegombrei> i have a sony vaio with a 1.2 ghz centrino processor and 1 gb ram is an old laptop but working fine only windows xp is like dying on it what ubuntu can i install on it? should be light and fast .. any recommendations??
[04:59] <vegombrei> que passa?
[05:00] <cfhowlett> vegombrei, lubuntu.  or perhaps xubuntu
[05:00] <brianblaze420> any one that is 32 bit
[05:01] <brianblaze420> they are all so fun haha
[05:01] <vegombrei> yeah i get the 32 bit bit .. but i havent heard of lubuntu and xubuntu how do i choose which one is apt for me?
[05:02] <cfhowlett> !lubuntu | veg
[05:02] <cfhowlett> vegombrei, lubuntu is optimized for older and slower hardware.  xubuntu also works well.
[05:05] <vegombrei> cfhowlett: thanks dude
[05:05] <cfhowlett> vegombrei, happy2help
[05:09] <w00tburger> well that was a pain. I dont see why I should have to wipe my entire ubuntu install to upgrade
[05:12] <cfhowlett> w00tburger, you dont' have to
[05:12] <w00tburger> well, I tried the way the guide had mentioned, but there must have beens ome sort of user error
[05:13] <cfhowlett> w00tburger, so ... you're upgraded then?
[05:13] <w00tburger> in the end the comp was running like crap, and I ould no longer get it to connect to the network
[05:13] <w00tburger> yeah I had to do a fresh install :-\
[05:14] <cfhowlett> w00tburger, obviously I don't know all the details but for future reference; most computer errors manifest between the keyboard and the display ...
[05:15] <w00tburger> Oh I agree
[05:15] <w00tburger> Just upset that I lost the majority of my night
[05:15] <cfhowlett> w00tburger, assuming your on LTS release schedule, you've got about 1.5 years to plan the next upgrade ...
[05:16] <w00tburger> Yeah I am now on the latest and greatest.
[05:22] <marandi> hi guys , i wanna connect through my open vpn connection but in the GUI when i click in profile to connect it , it wouldn't do any thing , how can i check what the error is ? can i connect it over terminal ?!
[05:27]  * thong belches.
[05:27] <brianblaze420> marandi: I think tunnelblick works in ubuntu
[05:28] <brianblaze420> nope I think that was a lie
[05:29] <thong> what ever happened to Ubuntu Satanic?
[05:32] <kungr> Bashing-om, you round?
[05:33]  * thong weeps silently to himself in a corner of the cold shower.
[05:35]  * brianblaze420 flushes the toilet thus changing the temperature of the water
[05:36]  * thong gasps for air; drowning.
[05:37] <cassio3> they mean sleep it, not reboot
[05:37] <cassio3> it's linux
[05:38] <cassio3> it's not really designed to be rebooted
[05:38] <thong> cassio3: ur mom isn't really designed to be rebooted
[05:38]  * thong part
[05:38] <cassio3> (although, maybe it should work better. my last experience had ubuntu waiting for an internet connection. and it took a long time to timeout)
[05:42] <greydawg1> :D
[05:48] <fjfkfdfdkfvv> ?
[05:49] <Bashing-om> kungenalex: Yeah, I am back .
[05:52] <william_doe> Hi guys!  Are there any apps that will automatically dim my screen when i unplug my laptop?
[05:52] <brianblaze420> display or power doesn't have a setting for that?
[05:52] <william_doe> hmmm i don't think so unless i just didn't see it
[05:53] <brianblaze420> I am always using command line only so I dunno lol
[05:53] <william_doe> i tried the command line app tlp i think it was
[05:53] <brianblaze420> http://www.maketecheasier.com/configure-screen-brightness-in-ubuntu/
[05:53] <william_doe> but i couldn't find anything for dimming the screen
[05:54] <ianorlin> xbacklight will work
[05:54] <brianblaze420> dconf-editor
[05:56] <william_doe> hmm yes um..
[05:56] <william_doe> this seems to only dim the screen when idle
[05:56] <william_doe> unless i am mistaken
[05:57] <brianblaze420> idle-dim-battery – Enabling this option will dim the screen when the system is idle and running on battery.
[05:57] <brianblaze420> idle-dim-time – the amount of time before the system transits into idle mode. The default is 90 seconds, but I have turned it down to 15 seconds.
[05:57] <william_doe> i will try it
[05:57] <brianblaze420> you will succeed :)
[06:03] <william_doe> hmm i don't think this is doing what i want.  maybe that's not possible. i want it to dim automatically when i unplug the power
[06:04] <arun_> guys, how do I setup centavo in my prefered directory?
[06:04] <william_doe> i gotta get my power supply to test
[06:06] <brianblaze420> is idle dim battery checked ? william_doe
[06:06] <william_doe> hmm
[06:06] <william_doe> this may be the problem
[06:06] <william_doe> i do not have dim idle battery
[06:07] <william_doe> brianblaze420: ^
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[06:07] <william_doe> it's not in the list
[06:07] <brianblaze420> are u updated
[06:07] <brianblaze420> do apt-get install dconf-tools
[06:07] <brianblaze420> and then update
[06:08] <brianblaze420> apt-get update and upgrade
[06:09] <william_doe> trying that ty
[06:13] <william_doe> brianblaze420: hmm yeah... i did update and upgrade.  no luck
[06:13] <brianblaze420> lame
[06:13] <william_doe> i just don't have dim battery going
[06:13] <william_doe> maybe it's driver issue?
[06:13] <william_doe> i dunno
[06:13] <brianblaze420> try xblacklight
[06:13] <william_doe> okay
[06:14] <agent_white> Good evenin'
[06:14] <brianblaze420> but u know if u don't see it in the power settings maybe there is something wrong
[06:14] <brianblaze420> because shouldn't there be an option there
[06:14] <brianblaze420> I swear
[06:14] <william_doe> i don't see it
[06:15] <brianblaze420> good evening agent_white
[06:15] <william_doe> i'm on 14.04
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> agent_white: hi mate
[06:15] <agent_white> Ws
[06:15] <agent_white> woops!
[06:15] <agent_white> \o all
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> just for the info: system76 ubuntu computers renewed their website, its pretty neat check it out
[06:16] <agent_white> william_doe: Whats your issue?
[06:18] <brianblaze420> can't get his screen to dim on battery power
[06:18] <william_doe> i'm trying to get the screen to automatically dim when i unplug from AC
[06:18] <brianblaze420> lol
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> try energy options in dconf-editor
[06:25] <william_doe> i installed xbacklight...
[06:25] <william_doe> i don't see any option to set for no AC
[06:25] <william_doe> just options to set brightness
[06:27] <william_doe> there is a "dim screen to save power" under brightness and lock
[06:27] <william_doe> but it seems to not do anything
[06:28] <william_doe> it broke i guess haha
[06:29] <william_doe> this isn't a huge deal for me but yeah.  should i maybe look into changing my display drivers?
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> !info dconf-editor | william_doe
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: checkout dim options there
[06:29] <william_doe> lotuspsychje: i used dconf-editor but it did not hav ethe options
[06:29] <william_doe> only for dim idle
[06:30] <william_doe> not for dim on battery
[06:30] <william_doe> it didn't have a checkbox for dim battery
[06:30] <william_doe> or anything about dim battery lol
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: did you check org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> power?
[06:30] <william_doe> yes
[06:30] <william_doe> that's where i was at
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[06:31] <william_doe> is weird lol
[06:31] <mikhael_k33hl> Hi, I'm having problems installing OpenSSH. I already tried installing openssl 1.0.1j and 0.9.8z but it still says  "error: *** Can't find recent OpenSSL libcrypto (see config.log for details) ***" when running ./configure
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: you have some weird energy options in bios maybe?
[06:31] <william_doe> i dunno
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: maybe check syslogs or dmesg for acpi errors too
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: you had dim working on any other ubuntu version?
[06:32] <william_doe> no
[06:32] <william_doe> this is first time running ubuntu on this machine
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> kk
[06:32] <william_doe> i'm kinda a n00b
[06:32] <william_doe> lol
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: what kind of machine is it?
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: did it work on windows?
[06:33] <william_doe> samsung np365e5c-s01us
[06:33] <william_doe> yeah it worked on windows
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: check bios/syslogs, if it worked on windows should not be bios flash issue
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: i think you will find acpi problems in syslog
[06:35] <william_doe> sorry how do i check taht
[06:35] <william_doe> that*
[06:35] <OerHeks> !info openssl
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: you can dmesg in terminal or browse to /var/log/syslog
[06:35] <william_doe> okay tysm
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: or use the log viewer icon from dash
[06:39] <akiva-thinkpad> Any programming newbies, and I mean complete newbies want to learn some python?
[06:39] <william_doe> hmmmmm
[06:39] <william_doe> only thing i found that seems maybe suspect is:  Nov 21 04:14:51 billydonut-laptop kernel: [    0.320339] acpi PNP0A03:00: _OSC: platform does not support [PME]
[06:39] <william_doe> lotuspsychje:
[06:40] <Guest47294> Can anyone help me about nitrogen?
[06:40] <william_doe> i don't think this is relevent after googling tho
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: maybe try this: tail -f /var/log/syslog and fool around with your dim a bit for realtime problems
[06:45] <Blaster> Hi I'm trying to use dd to copy a Windows 7 ISO to a USB key.
[06:46] <Blaster> I was told to use the command: sudo dd bs=4M if=[ur .iso] of=/dev/sd[letter of drive]
[06:46] <theadmin> Blaster: That won't work
[06:46] <theadmin> Blaster: Use WinUSB to create bootable Windows ISOs
[06:46] <theadmin> Windows images are *not* hybrid, you can't just dd them
[06:46] <Blaster> But I can't figure out the letter of the drive.  When I type `lsblk` it just says: sdc      8:32   1   3.8G  0 disk
[06:46] <Blaster> Oh okay.
[06:46] <Blaster> Does this drive need to be mounted to a letter?  Why is it just sdc?
[06:47] <theadmin> Blaster: Well, "c" is your letter
[06:47] <Blaster> I mean a number, like /dev/sdc1 or something.
[06:47] <Blaster> Oh I see.
[06:47] <Blaster> What about number?
[06:47] <theadmin> Blaster: Oh. No, you don't dd to a partition /dev/sdc1 means "SATA drive 3, partition 1" basically
[06:47] <theadmin> Blaster: /dev/sdc refers to the entire drive
[06:47] <Blaster> Oh okay, and 1 refers to the partition?
[06:48] <Blaster> Cool.
[06:48] <tqrekf> hi
[06:48] <Blaster> Is it zero indexed?
[06:48] <Blaster> Well it's obvious from looking at lsblk that it isn't.
[06:48] <theadmin> Blaster: Eh, not really. Drives go "a", "b", "c", ..., "aa", "ab", ... and so on, while partitions are 1, 2, 3...
[06:48] <william_doe> lotuspsychje: hmm i don't know i am just confusing myself.  this is not a terribly big deal for me haha
[06:49] <Blaster> theadmin: What's the maximum allowable number of drives?
[06:49] <theadmin> Blaster: I don't think there's a limit, and even if there is it's very high
[06:49] <Blaster> Limited only by hardware?
[06:49] <tqrekf> i have q problem with my intel hd driver i have a blank screen after login please help me
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: well there is certanly a reason for this, try to google some errors you have
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: your on 14.04?
[06:50] <william_doe> lotuspsychje: yes i am i didn't find any errors
[06:50] <william_doe> nothing showed up in syslog after running that? and um  in the terminal i got this?
[06:51] <william_doe> [74060.505902] ACPI: \_SB_.PCI0: Bus check notify on hotplug_event_root
[06:51] <william_doe> but that was before i even started messing witht eh brightnessslider
[06:51] <Blaster> tqrekf, does it still show the desktop background, but Unity doesn't boot?  You probably need to switch to another TTY and install the missing Intel graphics packages.
[06:52] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: what kind of grafix card you havin?
[06:52] <tqrekf> i have upgrqted from ubuntu 12,10 to 13,10
[06:52] <william_doe> lemme check
[06:53] <Ben64> tqrekf: 13.10 is no longer supported
[06:53] <william_doe> i have apu
[06:53] <william_doe> AMD A8-4500M APU
[06:53] <Blaster> theadmin, I can't seem to find WinUSB for utopic.
[06:53] <william_doe> maybe i should try installing drivers from amd?
[06:53] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: check additional drivers section maybe
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: did you install 14.04 with internet enabled/updates enabled?
[06:54] <theadmin> Blaster: Please see http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/05/install-winusb-ubuntu-14-04/
[06:54] <william_doe> i honestly don't remember but i have ran updates since
[06:54] <Blaster> theadmin, that's for saucy.
[06:54] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: well its reccomended to install with internet, to find best drivers for your system
[06:54] <tqrekf> after grub i get the login screen by swiching clt alt f7 i login and i get a blank screen with mouse
[06:55] <theadmin> Blaster: Err... Trusty, actually, but yeah my bad
[06:55] <theadmin> Oh
[06:55] <theadmin> The package is indeed built for Saucy
[06:55] <lotuspsychje> tqrekf: as Ben64 suggestes, 13.10 is eol mate, install a version from topic
[06:55] <william_doe> lotuspsychje: it says under additional drivers that i'm using the recommended driver
[06:55] <Blaster> theadmin, what about this one? https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/ubuntu/test/+build/6191501
[06:56] <lotuspsychje> william_doe: you could try another one, just to test your dim issue, you can change it back after
[06:56] <Blaster> Or should I find another way to burn Windows to my USB key?
[06:56] <william_doe> yeah i might
[06:56] <william_doe> lemme try that
[06:56] <theadmin> Blaster: I don't know of any other tool that would work in Linux sadly
[06:56] <lotuspsychje> Blaster: winusb is the best package as theadmin says
[06:56] <theadmin> Blaster: Most of Windows tools are, well, for Windows
[06:56] <tqrekf> so what is the solutionm reinstall the latest  ubuntu version?
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> tqrekf: 14.04 is reccomended
[06:57] <Blaster> theadmin, what about the launchpad link I posted?
[06:57] <theadmin> Blaster: I can't find an actual download link there, so can't say.
[06:57] <lotuspsychje> tqrekf: 14.10 the newest but 9 months support
[06:57] <Blaster> theadmin: Why can't I just use dd?
[06:57] <theadmin> Blaster: You may try the package I linked, it may work regardless (since the site claims it works in 14.04, it may work on 14.10 as well)
[06:58] <theadmin> Blaster: I don't know details, all I know is that it doesn't work
[06:58] <theadmin> dd that is
[06:58] <Blaster> I'm sure it works with the right combination of config.
[06:58] <Blaster> But I'll try the trusty package.
[06:59] <Blaster> Errors were encountered while processing WinUSB.
[07:00] <tqrekf> i have many works and installed softwares in ;y ubuntu 13.10, there's no solution to upgrade to 14.10 fro; 13.10?
[07:00] <lotuspsychje> Blaster: keep in mind that 14.10 is experimental
[07:00] <Blaster> Why?
[07:00] <Ben64> 14.10 is released, not experimental
[07:00] <lotuspsychje> tqrekf: its reccomended to install fresh mate
[07:01] <Ben64> tqrekf: you can upgrade to 14.04 from 13.10
[07:01] <Blaster> Maybe method 1 from here will work for burning a Windows 7 ISO to a USB key. http://askubuntu.com/a/116886
[07:03] <tqrekf> when i tried to upgrade i get errors can't access archive.canonical.com and ubuntu.mirror.tn
[07:04] <Ben64> !eol | tqrekf
[07:04] <tqrekf> should i change sources.list?
[07:04] <Ben64> read that link
[07:07] <tqrekf> ok thanks i will reinstall ubuntu 14.04
[07:09] <Blaster> What does this kind of text mean in the context of the dd utility? ��˦۾b�m�����oh$��
[07:09] <Blaster> I forgot the of= flag and it outputted a ton of that to terminal.
[07:11] <Ben64> Blaster: that is the output from dd
[07:12] <Blaster> What exactly is it?
[07:12] <Blaster> Machine code, binary, what?
[07:12] <Ben64> whatever you put into it
[07:12] <Blaster> It's a Windows 7 ISO.
[07:12] <Ben64> then its that
[07:12] <Blaster> Hmm.
[07:14] <Blaster> Ben64: Why is it partially legible English, and part chinese and other weird characters?
[07:14] <OerHeks> really an ubuntu support question we hear every day
[07:15] <Blaster> Sure it is. ;)
[07:16] <Blaster> Am I supposed to dd my Windows 7 bootable ISO to /dev/sdc or /dev/sdc1?
[07:17] <Blaster> I formatted it FAT 16 with boot flag on using gparted.
[07:17] <Ben64> Blaster: neither, cause that won't work. join ##windows for help making a usb bootable windows iso
[07:17] <Blaster> I don't have a working Windows machine.
[07:17] <Ben64> ok?
[07:17] <Blaster> I'm fixing my friends broken box, but I need to make a bootable ISO using Ubuntu.
[07:18] <Ben64> well ask ##windows
[07:18] <tqrekf> ubuntu server is recommended for web hosting?
[07:18] <Ben64> tqrekf: sure
[07:18] <tqrekf> i heard centos is faster
[07:18] <Ben64> ok, use whatever you like
[07:19] <Blaster> Ben64, I understand but I think using dd with fat16 and boot flag is going to work and I want to test it.  They know nothing about dd.  Can you just answer my other question?  /dev/sdc or /dev/sdc1?  Theoretically would I “burn it” to the FAT16 partition or not?
[07:19] <OerHeks> Blaster, you have been told dd does not work, why do you insist on it?
[07:19] <Blaster> Because I want to try to make it work.  No one has been clear on why it doesn't.
[07:19] <Ben64> Blaster: join ##windows for help with windows iso
[07:19] <Ben64> this is not on topic here
[07:20] <cfhowlett> Blaster, wrong channel.  ##windows
[07:23] <tqrekf> i have been used ubuntu for a time, but would like to know which distribution is faster and provide more tools for securitym i'; not system admin, i'm developper ;)
[07:24] <Ben64> tqrekf: not on topic here
[07:24] <Blaster> Is there some way to make the clock in Unity display unix time, or is it limited to 12 or 24 hour clock only?
[07:32] <RedPenguin> Is there any easy way to disable USB power mgmt? I have a Happauge HVR-950Q TV Tuner that seems like it randomly is inaccessible after an hour or so

[07:55] <energizer> hey can i get some help dual booting
[07:55] <energizer> im in the partition step
[07:56] <energizer> there's sda1,2,3,4. sda1,2 have "windows 7 (loader)" on them
[07:56] <energizer> not sure how to make sure i don't overwrite windows?
[08:04] <agent_white> And sda2,4?
[08:04] <mtuts> hello everyone
[08:04] <agent_white> \o
[08:04] <energizer> nothing listed agent_white
[08:05] <agent_white> energizer: Does nothing occupy sda3/4 ?
[08:05] <agent_white> As in, windows is on sd1/2 only?
[08:05] <energizer> that's what it says, but maybe im misreading it
[08:06] <agent_white> energizer: Nah it should be very clear :)
[08:06] <agent_white> energizer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[08:06] <energizer> agent_white: thanks
[08:06] <agent_white> Though it says "automatic partition sizing: not recommended) I would disagree, and say that you should do this until you know more about partitioning to your needs.
[08:07] <agent_white> energizer: `^
[08:07] <agent_white> Unless you choose partition sizes SMALLER than the one auto-matically selected, you should be fine.
[08:09] <agent_white> energizer: Though if you're feeling adventurous, do the manual partitioning. Again -- last long as you're not attempting to re-size the windows partitions, you should be fine choosing your own linux partion sizes.
[08:10] <dylon> Ку
[08:10] <catalogue> i want to search a log for xyz. what is the command? grep xyz filename.txt?
[08:10] <agent_white> Note that in your BIOS, the disk you choose for "primary boot" must have the bootload (grub2) on it.
[08:10] <BUSY> hey, some of my .mkv files develop thumbnails as their file image in nautilus and others don't. is there a way to force those to take on an image from their media?

[08:14] <catalogue> agent_white: thank you
[08:15] <BUSY> agent_white: thanks! also worked
[08:15] <agent_white> Cheers! :)
[08:16] <catalogue> agent_white: actually that didn't work. hmm. it says the two parameters hsould be switched around
[08:16] <catalogue> and when i do that it just seems to start rpocesssing and doesnt return anything
[08:17] <agent_white> catalogue: `grep "thingToSearch" /path/to/messages/message.log`
[08:17] <agent_white> though many do `cat /path/to/log.log | grep "searchThing"`, the above is more direct ;P
[08:18] <agent_white> catalogue: Sorry, I switch up the params by accident.
[08:18] <bekks> useless use of cat. Use "grep searchthing filename" instead :)
[08:18] <agent_white> catalogue: ^^
[08:18] <agent_white> what bekks said
[08:19] <kerneloopz> hey guys. How do I install a Nvidia .run driver? Is the recommended way to boot into recovery mode, and from the recovery menu drop into the command line, and install the driver that way?
[08:19] <catalogue> is it a slow process? it takes forever
[08:20] <catalogue> i'm running this basically: grep "hi" #ubuntu
[08:20] <catalogue> .log
[08:20] <agent_white> _generally_, use `find` for files/directorie names, and `grep` for the content inside them.
[08:20] <agent_white> catalogue: What exactly are you wanting to search for?
[08:20] <murbard> How can I rsync ubuntu?
[08:20] <catalogue> for a word inside the log
[08:21] <OerHeks> kerneloopz, recommended way is the drivers ubuntu provides with the additional driver tool
[08:21] <murbard> er, how can I rsync the latest 14.10 ubuntu image?
[08:21] <murbard> Are there any rsync servers, instead of httpd
[08:21] <murbard> or ftpd
[08:21] <kerneloopz> yes OerHeks, but the driver tool doesn't offer 343.22, which I need for my 970
[08:22] <bekks> kerneloopz: you dont do that because it will break your system whenever your kernel gets updated.
[08:22] <kerneloopz> and xorg-edgers for some reason doesn't include OpenCL in their package
[08:22] <bekks> kerneloopz: Whats the actual problem you are facing with the nvidia drivers from the Ubuntu repos?
[08:22] <kerneloopz> yes, I realize that
[08:22] <agent_white> catalogue: then you are using it correctly with grep. I wouldn't _think_ it would be slow unless "#ubuntu.log" is of a VERY large size.
[08:22] <kerneloopz> the driver is too old and doesn't recognize my 970
[08:23] <bekks> kerneloopz: Which driver version do you use?
[08:23] <kerneloopz> and when I install the driver from xorg-edgers, my 970 is recognized by I don't have OpenCL
[08:23] <agent_white> murbard: rsync? -- Do you mean that you want to update ubuntu?
[08:23] <kerneloopz> I'm on 343.22 at the moment in Linux Mint 17 (Ubuntu 14.04)
[08:23] <catalogue> agent_white, it's another log, and it's ~14,000 lines. is that a lot?
[08:24] <kerneloopz> I managed to install the .run file, but in doing so I messed up X, and I think that's because my method isn't the proper way
[08:24] <bekks> kerneloopz: So ask the min support. This is Ubuntu support.
[08:24] <kerneloopz> hence why I'm asking how to install a .run file
[08:24] <kerneloopz> I realize that
[08:24] <kerneloopz> but in this regard Mint and Ubuntu are basically the same here
[08:24] <bekks> kerneloopz: If you realize that, take your support issue to the linux mint support please.
[08:24] <bekks> !mint | kerneloopz
[08:24] <murbard> agent_white: I mostly downloaded the file with httpd, but the download was interrputed. My interenet is slow enough that I don't want to start it over. I dislike torrents also. so I was hoping to just rsync continue the download.
[08:25] <agent_white> catalogue: `ls -l path/to/log/file.txt --block-size=M` will tell you the size in megabytes
[08:25] <kerneloopz> see, I'll bet I could have just not mentioned that I was on Mint, and any help here would have applied
[08:25] <agent_white> murbard: "the file" is what file?
[08:25] <agent_white> murbard: What file are you attempting to download, from where, and how?
[08:25] <sabun> kerneloopz: come back with another nick with same question, but do not mention linux mint. you will get help
[08:25] <bekks> kerneloopz: Nonetheless you mentioned it, and you are on Mint. So please keep this channel open for the Ubuntu support now.
[08:26] <kerneloopz> all right
[08:26] <catalogue> agent_white, i guess it's 1.2 megs. that's pretty big, right?
[08:26] <murbard> agent_white: ubuntu-14.04.1-dekstop-amd64.iso
[08:26] <agent_white> catalogue: "
[08:26] <agent_white> catalogue: Not really.. it should pretty much give you the response immediately.
[08:26] <kerneloopz> ok, so if I installed Ubuntu 14.04 and wanted to install the Nvidia .run file, how would I do that?
[08:26] <bekks> catalogue: 1.2m isnt large for grep.
[08:26] <bekks> kerneloopz: You dont have Ubuntu.
[08:27] <bekks> kerneloopz: You are on mint. Seek their support. Thank you.
[08:27] <catalogue> agent_white, bekks, yeah i thought it should be much faster. hm. just ran one maybe 30 seconds ago and let it keep going to see how long it would go
[08:28] <catalogue> just a blinking cursor
[08:28] <agent_white> murbard: `rsync -aP /path/to/orgi/file /new/file/path`
[08:28] <agent_white> catalogue: Copy paste your EXACT command
[08:29] <agent_white> Into here
[08:29] <catalogue> grep "hi" #rubyonrails.log
[08:29] <catalogue> hm, it works on files that don't have the #
[08:29] <agent_white> catalogue: What IRC client? Full path of the log file?
[08:29] <bekks> catalogue: grep hi \#rubyonrails.log
[08:29] <agent_white> ^^
[08:29] <bekks> You have to escape the # char.
[08:30] <catalogue> bekks, aha! thank you!
[08:30] <catalogue> what was happening there?
[08:30] <agent_white> murbard: You could also add an alias to rsync to each and every time you call it, it will use --partial(-P). Look up ".bashrc" and "adding alias to bashrc"
[08:31] <catalogue> eh it's not important. thanks for the help guys.
[08:32] <agent_white> catalogue: grep uses "basic regular expressions". In that standard, "#" is a special char. Needs to be escaped to be searched on :)
[08:32] <owen1> (carbon x1 laptop) i don't see hibernation in the power settings.  i followed the advice to modify sudo nano /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla and also installed and used gnome-tweak-tool  but i stil don't see hibernate in the power settings. closing the lid seems to be suspending.

[08:35] <neurosis-> my friend installed amd64 on a Pentium4 and its working is it going to mess up the pc
[08:35] <neurosis-> and its a 32bit
[08:36] <bekks> Installing 64bit on 32bit isnt possible.
[08:36] <neurosis-> Kernel and CPU	Linux 3.13.0-24-generic on x86_64
[08:36] <neurosis-> Processor information	Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.93GHz, 1 cores
[08:37] <bekks> Sothats not a 32bit processor.
[08:37] <neurosis-> that is what i was thinking too
[08:37] <bekks> Thats whats a fact.
[08:38] <AnonWarlord> nice i love pentium
[08:38] <bekks> I dont, they are too old.
[08:38] <AnonWarlord> ya my fav to be honest is amd 8350
[08:38] <bekks> I dont like AMD, cause they are too slow :)
[08:38] <AnonWarlord> but pentiums are nice

[09:20] <cfhowlett> utente, openshot is the easiest one to start with
[09:20] <cfhowlett> utente, kdenlive might also be a good starting point
[09:20] <utente> cfhowlett, can ioneshot make "speed up" effect? i need it
[09:20] <cfhowlett> utente, #ubuntustudio might have more information
[09:21] <utente> thanks
[09:21] <cfhowlett> utente, I think that's an avconv command ...

[09:27] <utente> agent_white, im on debian now, so i must see if there is those packages here.

[09:29] <agent_white> I might've reversed it: you may need to install a version of gutenprint that ppg needs.

[09:37] <SHAHPAR> what's up
[09:37] <SHAHPAR> hi buddies
[09:37] <SHAHPAR> helo
[09:37] <cfhowlett> SHAHPAR, we see you.  ask your support questions
[09:38] <SHAHPAR> i want to use screen but i have problem
[09:38] <agent_white> tompsku: Hm... so you tried the `footmatic` and `pximono` utilities?
[09:38] <SHAHPAR> no
[09:39] <tompsku> for my printer there is no footmatic :(
[09:39] <cfhowlett> SHAHPAR, this is the part where you give actual DETAILS of the "problem".  No one is going to guess.
[09:40] <agent_white> tompsku: Hm. Have you logged into the CUPS web interface/admin page to change the gutenprint version?
[09:40] <agent_white> tompsku: Also `/usr/bin/cups-genppdupdate`
[09:41] <agent_white> then `sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart`
[09:41] <tompsku> yes and remove , install, remove, .. the printer. and every time when try to print test page thet error comes
[09:41] <agent_white> :/ Hm.
[09:41] <SHAHPAR_> hey agnet
[09:41] <agent_white> Printers are the worst thing to deal with :(
[09:41] <SHAHPAR_> agent
[09:41] <agent_white> \o
[09:41] <tompsku> and also "/usr/bin/cups-genppdupdate" and stop/start for cups ...
[09:42] <cfhowlett> SHAHPAR, what is your spoken language??
[09:42] <tompsku> 100% agree
[09:42] <agent_white> tompsku: You did those borth?
[09:42] <SHAHPAR_> what do you mean
[09:42] <yellabs-r2> hmm, cant install language-pack-nl-base , depends on language-pack-nl , wich i cant install because it depends on langauge-pack-nl-base ..
[09:42] <cfhowlett> SHAHPAR, what language do you speak?
[09:42] <SHAHPAR_> i'm speaking english
[09:42] <yellabs-r2> i am chasing my own tail here ..
[09:42] <tompsku> what you mean "borth?"
  I asked for details.  You've given no details.  no details >>> no help.
[09:43] <SHAHPAR_> a
[09:43] <SHAHPAR_> cfhowlett
[09:43] <cfhowlett> !details | SHAHPAR_
[09:43] <SHAHPAR_> ok
[09:43] <SHAHPAR_> ok
[09:44] <yellabs-r2> no , un met dependencies
[09:44] <SHAHPAR_> i am trying to make use of screen utility on ubuntu server
[09:45] <SHAHPAR_> it is too difficult to install offline packages on linux,,, wof
[09:45] <bekks> SHAHPAR_: What complicated about it?
[09:46] <agent_white> SHAHPAR_: Why do you need to use screen? What are you trying to do?
[09:47] <SHAHPAR_> because
[09:47] <Ben64> SHAHPAR_: explain in as much detail as possible, all on one line, what you're trying to do, what you've done, and what is not appearing to be working, also, give us which version of linux you have
[09:47] <SHAHPAR_> i want to use multiple terminal sessions at the same time
[09:47] <bekks> So open up multiple terminals? :)
[09:48] <bekks> screen is useful for closing the terminals but keep the session running.
[09:48] <SHAHPAR_> i don't have gui, i am using ubuntu server 14.04
[09:48] <SHAHPAR_> pure console mode
[09:48] <eb0t> nice
[09:48] <Ben64> SHAHPAR_: ok, but what is the problem?
[09:48] <SHAHPAR_> i got it, thank you
[09:49] <root_> \query
[09:49] <SHAHPAR_> well GEEKS, i would like to instal GUI GNOME on UBUNTU SERVER 14.04 which one is best ??
[09:49] <SHAHPAR_> I'v tried xorg but it is too slow
[09:49] <cfhowlett> SHAHPAR_, geeks?  really?
[09:49] <agent_white> Well, screen gives you multiple terminals through one session... rather than just opening a new term locally, and ssh'ing in again (which creates _another_ session)
[09:49] <Ben64> SHAHPAR_: the capital letters are not necessary, nor is the name calling.
[09:49] <agent_white> I believe... correct me if I'm wrong.
[09:50]  * cfhowlett adds another name to the /ignore list.
[09:50] <bekks> SHAHPAR_: On a server, you dont use a gui, normally. :)
[09:50] <agent_white> cfhowlett: >.< I was excited to educate on terminal sessions until that point. ;P
[09:50] <cfhowlett> if it has a gui, it's not a server ...
[09:50] <cfhowlett> Agent_white I fully agree.
[09:50] <SHAHPAR_> But i want
[09:50] <agent_white> cfhowlett: Oh well. You win some, you lose some eh?
[09:51] <SHAHPAR_> I have lot of questions about Linux
[09:51] <cfhowlett> agent_white, true true.
[09:52] <cfhowlett> agent_white, just learned that my 14.04.1 ubuntustudio doesn
[09:52] <cfhowlett> does not have "screen" ...
[09:52] <SHAHPAR_> GEEKS, have you experienced FreeBSD??? I want to try that
[09:52] <master> I have a question too, please, but I am not sure this is the correct place to ask such ?
[09:52] <cfhowlett> master, please ask.
[09:52] <Ben64> SHAHPAR_: only ubuntu is on topic here, and you're not going to get any help by calling people names
[09:53] <SHAHPAR_> Could you please recommend a Linux Book ?
[09:53] <blabla> SHAHPAR_: man
[09:53] <master> OK, sorry I will leave then , thanks
[09:53] <cfhowlett> master, ??? ask your ubuntu questions
[09:54] <master> Oh, sorry, Was I being told to go away there
[09:54] <yellabs-r2> ah , seems to be a bug..
[09:54] <yellabs-r2> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-gnome-nl-base/+bug/1394923
[09:54] <bekks> SHAHPAR_: Do you have a specific Ubuntu support question?
[09:54] <agent_white> cfhowlett: Oh really? Yeah I actually never use screen... haven't had restraints on # of term sessions to any boxes. One day I'll learn it :P
[09:55] <cfhowlett> master, that was directed at someone else.  proper use is to use the person's name ... as I have done.  Also, read carefully.  so ... your question??
[09:56] <cfhowlett> Agent_white I've lived this long without it ... guess I'll manage.
[09:56] <agent_white> Hahah indeed :P
[09:57] <blabla> screen is cool
[09:57] <blabla> using it atm
[09:57] <agent_white> I am obligated to use it since it goes nicely with vim, but I have enough keybindings as is ;P

[10:04] <Paramezius> Hello, I installed ubuntu 14.04 fut it fails to completely install my language
[10:04] <Paramezius> transaction failed: package dependencies cannot be resolved. the following packages have unmet dependencies: language-pack-gl: language-pack-gnome-gl
[10:05] <Paramezius> i installed it some days ago in the same computer and it worked. it was a previous installation
[10:17] <agent_white> Paramezius: `apt-get -f install language-pack-gl` ?

[10:19] <he1s3nberg> blabla, ok. thankss
[10:21] <Paramezius> agent_white, let's try
[10:23] <basil1x> Is there a reason audio-convert-mod isn't in the repos?  It's a lot less annoying that soundconverter, despite having a completely tragic name.
[10:24] <basil1x> It also requires some creative futzing to get working.  It wants ffmpeg, which has apparently gone.
[10:28] <k1l_> basil1x: programs demanding ffmpeg cant b in the repos since ffmpeg is not in the repos.
[10:28] <basil1x> I was thinking it could be altered to use whatever replaced ffmpeg?
[10:28] <Flannel> basil1x: libav is.  audio-convert-mod isn't in the repos because it seems that no one has packaged it.
[10:29] <basil1x> AH
[10:29] <k1l_> basil1x: libav-tools is in the repos. its one of the forks from the ffmpeg drama
[10:29] <JetForMe> I'm having a heck of a time getting my new ubuntu install to link a very simple C/C++ program.
[10:29] <basil1x> Pity they couldn't do something about the dreadful name at the same time.
[10:30] <SHAHPAR_> GEEKS
[10:30] <Flannel> JetForMe: have you installed 'build-essential'?
[10:30] <bekks> JetForMe: why?
[10:30] <JetForMe> here's my example: http://pastebin.com/ChQcyLW1
[10:30] <JetForMe> I installed with sudo apt-get install g++
[10:30] <bekks> JetForMe: And how do you try to link it?
[10:31] <JetForMe> The command line is in the comments at the top
[10:31] <bekks> And whats the error message?
[10:31] <JetForMe> By the way, I was able to build mpg123 from source without issue, and it makes teh same call.
[10:31] <JetForMe> ah, stand by, sorry
[10:32] <JetForMe> I updated the paste with the error
[10:32] <JetForMe> (at the bottom)
[10:32] <geirha> that means there's a new url
[10:32] <JetForMe> http://pastebin.com/ChQcyLW1
[10:32] <JetForMe> Nope, same URL ;-)
[10:33] <JetForMe> I also tried this with plain C code (main.c, no C++ syntax), same result
[10:33] <JetForMe> let me try installing build-essentials, although I seem to have a working set of tools
[10:34] <bekks> JetForMe: Use: #include <alsa/control.h>
[10:34] <bekks> build-essentials will not magically fix your code :)
[10:34] <JetForMe> no change, bekks
[10:34] <JetForMe> (with alsa/control
[10:35] <nopf> JetForMe: put the -l option after the .cpp file. this is how linking works iirc
[10:35] <JetForMe> Wow, that's it
[10:35] <JetForMe> I've never run into that before
[10:36] <nopf> JetForMe: the -l is used to resolve undefined names. at that point of the command line (from left to right) there are no undefined names
[10:36] <JetForMe> I usually write all my options first, including the -o, and put the source file name(s) at the end. Oh, but that's when I'm using a makefile with a separate link step...
[10:36] <geirha> GNU likes to break with convention :)
[10:36] <nopf> JetForMe: in this sens -l is not an option but another file specification
[10:36] <nopf> geirha: no, this is traditional C
[10:36] <JetForMe> I should say, I *usually* use Xcode on iOS or OS X...
[10:36] <Tommmy> hi
[10:37] <nopf> JetForMe: btw this is not ubuntu specific. forget the solution and ask again in ##programming :)
[10:37] <JetForMe> yeah, I get you, it's just Xcode hides all that
[10:38] <Paramezius> agent_white, it doesn't work. it keeps telling that there are unmet dependencies
[10:38] <JetForMe> For that matter, I usually have makefiles, wherein this doesn't appear
[10:38] <JetForMe> Thank you nopf, and the rest, for all your help!
[10:38] <Paramezius> could it be due to a repository problem?
[10:40] <Tommmy> Hi, can anyone tell me the correct way to install and use a nvidia driver? :S
[10:41] <blabla> Tommmy: apt-get install nvidia-drivers ?
[10:41] <flux242> Everytime I install ubuntu base system on a machine or in a virtual environment I open .bashrc and uncomment force_color_prompt. It was like that since many years. Why isn't it fixed already?
[10:42] <Tommmy> i installed nvidia-current, and nvidia-prime to switch betwen intel and nvidia but after that my ubuntu was freezing every 5 minutes
[10:42] <Tommmy> it was working fine but it was freezing, even with out playing a game
[10:42] <blabla> Tommmy: maybe wrong driver?
[10:43] <Tommmy> i could play games
[10:45] <Tommmy> is nvidia-current fine for Nvidia GeForce GT 525M?
[10:45] <flux242> the workaround would be to copy part of the .bashrc into my .bash_aliases bun I really don't want to have this code there
[10:45] <blabla> Tommmy: should be, any error logs?
[10:46] <k1l_> Tommmy: which ubuntu?
[10:46] <Tommmy> well i got rid of it so i reinstaled ubuntu
[10:46] <Tommmy> 14.04
[10:46] <k1l_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics
[10:46] <k1l_> Tommmy: remove the nvidia-current and install the nvidia-331
[10:47] <Tommmy> i had nvidia-331
[10:47] <Tommmy> but my screen was freezing
[10:47] <Tommmy> i have reinstaled ubuntu 5 times
[10:48] <Tommmy> should i try with nvidia-331-updates
[10:48] <Tommmy> ?
[10:48] <geirha> flux242: The idea is that the terminal should tell bash whether it can do colors or not, but gnome-terminal, at least, has no such ability at all. It sets TERM=xterm no matter what
[10:49] <flux242> geirha: which leads to what conclusion?
[10:50] <k1l_> Tommmy: i dont know. i dont have your setup. if nvidia-current works than ok
[10:50] <geirha> flux242: That it's a mess
[10:50] <sacarlson> Tommmy: looks like 331.49 is best they got http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/73221
[10:50] <flux242> geirha: exactly, what's what I'm talking about
[10:51] <dopie> hey all
[10:51] <dopie> https://archerimagine.wordpress.com/2014/05/01/things-to-do-after-a-fresh-install-of-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr/
[10:51] <dopie> im trying to get the solarized theme for my bash
[10:51] <dopie> but its not installing
[10:51] <Tommmy> hmmmm.. what happen if i have 2 nvidia drivers?
[10:51] <Tommmy> or more
[10:51] <k1l_> Tommmy: that results in issues
[10:51] <geirha> flux242: I just replace it with my own generic .bashrc, but that's unfortunately not enough either, because bash is specifically patched to also read /etc/bash.bashrc, and you can't avoid that
[10:51] <k1l_> Tommmy: that is why i said remove the one and then install the next one
[10:52] <k1l_> dopie: more details, more errormassages. what ubuntu?
[10:52] <Tommmy> so is it a good idea to do apt-get purge nvidia*
[10:52] <Tommmy> ?
[10:52] <flux242> geirha: it is possible to set a custom term variable with xfce4-terminal but if I write xterm-color then the terminal stops workgin telling me that /etc/termcap is missing
[10:53] <Tommmy> before installing the nvidia-331
[10:53] <k1l_> Tommmy: yes. is suggest to make a reboot then. then install the new one, reboot again
[10:53] <k1l_> *i suggest
[10:53] <Tommmy> that could be the mistake
[10:54] <geirha> termcap? surely you have terminfo installed
[10:54] <Tommmy> because i have tried 5 times, using diferent ways, diferent packages,and had to reinstall 5 times
[10:54] <Tommmy> i will try that
[10:54] <Tommmy> thank you so much!
[10:54] <flux242> geirha: I usually never change the default .bashrc beside that damn color variable. I do everything in my own .bash_aliases.
[10:55] <mehdip2007> hey guys i install xiki  when i input it in my terminal now i cant run my terminal what should i do?
[10:57] <flux242> geirha: no I don't think that i have terminfo installed. It could be a part of ncurses which is not installed. No need
[10:57] <Ben64> mehdip2007: not seeing any package named xiki
[10:59] <flux242> geirha: but anyway, if I only have a basis then getty sets term variable to linux and again color prompt is not activated by default
[10:59] <mehdip2007> Ben64, http://github.com/trogdoro/xiki      here is the link :D
[11:00] <mehdip2007> https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xiki/xiki-the-command-revolution       this is what i try yo use
[11:00] <Ben64> mehdip2007: only software in the ubuntu repositories are supported, contact whoever makes that
[11:00] <geirha> flux242: Right, so it's probably about time that restriction gets lifted, and colors are enabled by default. I don't even know if there's any terminal emulators that don's support colors in ubuntu's repositories
[11:01] <mehdip2007> well the point is u can see pictures and videos in ur terminal
[11:03] <mehdip2007> Ben64, how can i restore my terminal ? this is the error i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/9170045/
[11:04] <Ben64> mehdip2007: see, thats why non standard software isn't supported. theres no way anyone here could know what you did to get it to that state. you'll have to figure that out yourself
[11:05] <solars> hi there, is there a tool that I could use temporarily for uptime logging? need to check the internet connection on a machine here to see if it is stable over a day
[11:06] <mehdip2007> Ben64, well in my terminal preferences TITLE and command tab in custom command i add /usr/bin/xiki and couldnt run it anyomre :(
[11:07] <Ben64> mehdip2007: undo what you did then
[11:08] <mehdip2007> Ben64, i cant run my terminal to undo  it thats my problem now
[11:08] <Ben64> mehdip2007: use the recovery mode then
[11:10] <sacarlson> mehdip2007: I would assume that should only effect a single user.  so can you login to a different user and fix it from there?
[11:13] <mehdip2007> sacarlson, yea i can do that but donno how
[11:13] <Torbard> mit welchem befehl kann ich ein datei starten?
[11:13] <Ben64> !recovery | mehdip2007
[11:13] <nopf> Torbard: which datei?
[11:14] <k1l_> Torbard: kommt auf die datei an. aber dieser kanal ist englisch sprachig
[11:14] <Torbard> bash i maybe
[11:14] <nopf> Torbard: you start bash by typing bash
[11:14] <Torbard> i want to start Tor onion router
[11:15] <nopf> Torbard: how did you install it?
[11:16] <Torbard> only extract
[11:16] <k1l_> Torbard: what says the readme?
[11:16] <cendora> systemd ?
[11:17] <k1l_> cendora: is that a question? can you rephrase that?
[11:17] <Tommmmy> who was helping me 5 minutes ag?
[11:17] <Tommmmy> ago*
[11:17] <cendora> ok, wait a bit
[11:17] <cendora> not yet question
[11:17] <cendora> rephrasing, lool
[11:18] <nopf> Torbard: why not install it with 'sudo apt-get install tor'? then read /usr/share/doc/tor/README.Debian
[11:18] <bekks> !tor
[11:18] <flux242> What's your favorite remote session solution? I mean forwarding X with ssh is straight forward and with proper compresison settings works well but it wont forward sound. VNC can't adjust screen resolution. NoMachine become bloated. What else?
[11:18] <bekks> flux242: I dont see how NoMachine is "bloated".
[11:18] <Tommmmy> K1|_ did you helped me 5 minutes ago?
[11:18] <k1l_> Tommmmy: maybe.
[11:19] <Tommmmy> it worked
[11:19] <k1l_> Tommmmy: good :)
[11:19] <Tommmmy> its not freezing anymore, thank you
[11:19] <flux242> bekks: that's ok
[11:19] <Quatroking> how do I add a desktop shortcut to a program?
[11:19] <OerHeks> flux242, tightvnc can adjust screenresolution
[11:20] <OerHeks> Quatroking, depends what desktop
[11:20] <Quatroking> gnome
[11:21] <flux242> OerHeks: can it? I mean not to predefined one like 1024x768 but to 1024x600 for instance
[11:22] <belgianguy> Can Unity 8 be installed as a separate DE?
[11:23] <solars> does anybody know a tool for offline time logging?
[11:23] <flux242> OerHeks: tightvnc for linux is java only. I do not have java runtime
[11:24] <k1l_> belgianguy: unity8 sits on top of MIR. best is to try the live images they provide for testing
[11:24] <OerHeks> flux242, vncserver can too, vncserver -geometry 1024x600
[11:25] <OerHeks> not sure tightvnc can work with openjdk, i guess it is.
[11:25] <belgianguy> solars: pen, paper and a clock ;) But also Project Hamster,Toggl and Klok
[11:27] <bekks> flux242: So use version 1.3, which has nothing to do with java. Version 2 is a rewrite in Java.
[11:28] <flux242>  I've just found novnc - html5 implementation client. Hm, I think I try it

[11:52] <spupuser1> OerHeks: i also want to do web development and mySQL, and java
[11:53] <spupuser1> hmm, ok i shall try some now
[11:53] <k1l_> spupuser1: go with lubuntu
[11:53] <k1l_> and be aware that a atom netbook with 1gb ram is not a rocket at all.
[11:54] <spupuser1> k11_: this is correct, i shall try several distributions
[11:55] <spupuser1> k11_: well i just need to get comfortable with one of them.
[11:55] <k1l_> spupuser1: then do that
[12:06] <mpathy> I have a problem with encodings.. I unpacked a tar.xz (from a BSD system apparently) to my Ubuntu here.. Some special characters in the file names were not correct (the äöüß of the german file names for example) and I want to correct them. Is there a way to do this? I am think of a program who does that automatically, which would be the easiest, or instead something which has the ability to "search&replace" on file names recursively in a l
[12:06] <mpathy> ot of folders..
[12:07] <mpathy> If there is nothing like that, I got a text file with md5sums and the correct filenames, which I could use to replace the file names in the unpacked folder here..
[12:07] <dorkusmaximus> is ubuntu the best linux distribution
[12:07] <bekks> dorkusmaximus: There is no "best" in terms of software. It is all up to you and your choice.
[12:08] <dorkusmaximus> aw c'mon...just say "ubuntu is def the best"
[12:08] <k1l_> dorkusmaximus: since you ask in a ubuntu channel: yes it is
[12:08] <mpathy> you asking this in the Ubuntu channel? you might get a bit of a biased answer on that.. try some for yourself. you can use something like VirtualBox to install different systems on your current system
[12:08] <dorkusmaximus> awesome i knew it
[12:08] <bekks> dorkusmaximus: If you knew it - why do you ask?
[12:09] <EriC^^> mpathy: rename maybe
[12:09] <dorkusmaximus> yeah, in the last day ive installed debian, slackware, fedora, and ubuntu. ubuntu is the only one that didnt have a lot of problems.
[12:10] <mpathy> EriC^^: Yes, but the question is, how I can do it? It would even be okay to have some kind of manual filename search and replace recursively
[12:10] <EriC^^> mpathy: the command rename
[12:10] <EriC^^> mpathy: man rename, it's a perl script that uses sed syntax
[12:11] <nopf> mpathy: or learn emacs, you can use text replace on directory view buffers
[12:11] <EriC^^> don't know if it'srecursive though
[12:12] <EriC^^> mpathy: if it's not recursive you can use the find command with -exec
[12:12] <mpathy> but how can I make a regexp for such weird characters?
[12:14] <mpathy> I am able to use find -exec, I know how to do.. but I struggle on how I can get a selection fitting these weird characters.. which are their right representation?
[12:15] <mpathy> For example it looks like LoÌ?we
[12:15] <mpathy> and should be Löwe
[12:15] <EriC^^> if you search for LoÌ?we does it find it?
[12:16] <mpathy> but the file name looks different in Terminal and in Nautilus. Which is the right representation for the use in a script or command line?
[12:16] <EriC^^> try to use what is in the terminal with find and see if it returns anything
[12:17] <mpathy> no it doesnt.. ls displays it as LoÌ?we.. find does it display as LoÌwe
[12:18] <avoider> Anyone around for support?
[12:18] <EriC^^> ok, find . -iname "LoÌwe" should find it
[12:18] <bekks> avoider: Just ask your question :)
[12:18] <avoider> My indcator on top panel
[12:19] <avoider> keeps giving errors
[12:19] <avoider> and closing
[12:19] <avoider> Keeps asking me to execute i click it and then it pops back up with error and then closes
[12:20] <OerHeks> avoider, so what indicater does that?
[12:20] <EriC^^> mpathy: try rename 's/Ìw/bla/' Lo*
[12:20] <avoider> indicator plugin
[12:20] <avoider> for the top bar on the right hand side
[12:20] <EriC^^> mpathy: it should replace the odd part with bla
[12:20] <k1l_> avoider: which indicator?
[12:21] <avoider> for the panel ?
[12:21] <mileszero> hi all
[12:21] <EriC^^> mpathy: ( in all files that start with Lo )
[12:21] <avoider> That displays the wifi etc etc
[12:21] <k1l_> avoider: "which car is broken?" "my car" " yes but which car model is it?" "my car"
[12:21] <avoider> ubuntu 14
[12:21] <OerHeks> avoider, those are more than one indicators, so which one?
[12:21] <mileszero> can I ask here a xubuntu question, or is there another chatroom?
[12:22] <k1l_> avoider: you mean the whole systray?
[12:22] <avoider> the plugin that states for untiy indicators
[12:22] <mpathy> EriC^^: No it doesnt. Is there some kind of other representation I can use, like when using an ASCII code.. You know, to display the proper Unicode-Code for the char and use that to search?
[12:23] <avoider> the one that shows the volume  wifi connection or lan connection
[12:23] <k1l_> avoider: is it gone at all?
[12:24] <avoider> i have to keep adding it  to the panel
[12:24] <avoider> and in two minutes of it on the panel it gives me a error
[12:24] <k1l_> avoider: what did you do before that happend?
[12:24] <avoider> saying i need to exexute it and then turns off
[12:24] <avoider> nothing
[12:24] <avoider> i updated and rebooted
[12:25] <avoider> apt-get update and then rebooted
[12:25] <avoider> and it started doing that
[12:25] <k1l_> well, apt-get update doesnt do anything to any packages
[12:25] <avoider> well
[12:25] <k1l_> avoider: please run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and put that all into a pastebin
[12:26] <avoider> Thats all that i did
[12:26] <BluesKaj_> avoider, you have to upgrade after updating
[12:26] <mpathy> EriC^^: You know, like in Python where "caf\xe9" would represent "café"
[12:27] <avoider> http://pastebin.com/s5C8shBr
[12:28] <k1l_> avoider: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[12:28] <mpathy> Such a represenation would be cool. If I can't find another solution, I could do a rename on all possibilities, which shouldnt be more than the umlauts the ß and the accents..
[12:29] <avoider> ok done
[12:30] <k1l_> avoider: and please a "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" in a pastebin
[12:30] <pilikeits> firefox is now annoying me :D everytime i want to open torrent file it gives me gedit (default). and that "do this automatically for files like this from now on" is grey, i can't choose it even i select /usr/bin/transmission-gtk
[12:31] <avoider> http://pastebin.com/RA2j2u28
[12:31] <Swingline711> pilikeits, isn't there a media tab in firefox' options?
[12:31] <faust> mpathy: what's the output of "echo $LC_CTYPE" in the terminal which has problems
[12:32] <mpathy> faust: I dont know but I send the person my locale output and he says its the same, all de and UTF-8
[12:32] <faust> ok
[12:32] <k1l_> avoider: so maybe its the numix theme ruining it? can you choose the default theme and ions?
[12:33] <k1l_> *icons
[12:33] <mpathy> faust: So if he is right, it would be LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
[12:33] <avoider> ok
[12:33] <pilikeits> Swingline711, what you now try to say?
[12:33] <Swingline711> change the handler settings in the media section of firefox' options.
[12:33] <mpathy> faust: but it is a BSD system he has. but shouldnt be a problem. I even used bsdtar to unpack instead of gnutar
[12:33] <Swingline711> to transmission perhaps
[12:33] <pilikeits> Swingline711, there is that application tab...where is the list...but there isn't torrent
[12:34] <Swingline711> magnet:
[12:34] <Swingline711> maybe?
[12:34] <avoider> i need to reboot
[12:34] <avoider> sec
[12:35] <faust> mpathy: I think that you may have different "chararcter set" set on your (his?) systems, also if he manages to remnames the files the problem will return, maybe it will be better if he set UTF-8 on both machine
[12:35] <xfce> hey i need a good screen recorder any sugestions
[12:35] <m1dnight_> I have a server at home with 16GB ram
[12:35] <m1dnight_> is there anything I can do to put it to use?
[12:35] <faust> m1dnight_: you che give it to me
[12:35] <m1dnight_> oh
[12:36] <xfce> or me
[12:36] <cfhowlett> m1dnight_, send my way
[12:36] <m1dnight_> okay that sounds about right
[12:36] <m1dnight_> A megabyte?
[12:36] <m1dnight_> or how much do you fancy?
[12:36] <mpathy> faust: Well I only can say that he said that he has UTF-8, too
[12:36] <cfhowlett> m1dnight_, I'm in China ... could use a nice VPN ...
[12:36] <pilikeits> Swingline711, hmm....that magnet just opens transmission but then ask the source file......i just want that when i press that torrent it will open it with transmission
[12:37] <k1l_> m1dnight_: better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic since that is not a technical issue :)
[12:37] <faust> mpathy: if he can read the file names correctly on host A and wrong on host B, I have some doubts about it :/
[12:38] <pilikeits> Swingline711, i need to add torrent somehow to that application list...hmmmm
[12:38] <amandius> Hola
[12:39] <xfce> whats a good music player for ubuntu unity
[12:40] <faust> mpathy: howevere to answer your original question, maybe, the best way to manage the problem is by using a scripting language with good unicode support (which is not the case with bash) like python, ruby etc
[12:40] <agent_white> xfce: I like basic players. For a GUI - "deadbeef", and for a console "cmus".
[12:40] <OerHeks> clementine can handle big music collections smoothly
[12:41] <xfce> is clementine an ease of use
[12:41] <agent_white> Make sure to check your locale
[12:42] <xfce> ??
[12:45] <pilikeits> Swingline711, ok hmm...i have never use that magnetlink thingy. so now i think its downloading it. thank you. 100% i always use "download torrent" button
[12:47] <titania_erza> hey
[12:50] <Swingline711> pilikeits, haha, magnet thingy isn't something; it's just like data embedded into the uri itself
[12:50] <mpathy> faust: I made some tests and the checksums of the files are identical. That means I have now a file with correct filename and checksum who fits
[12:50] <Swingline711> a hash and then optionally a decription and additional trackers
[12:50] <Swingline711> sorry, description, should that be.
[12:51] <faust> mpathy: the filenames are correct, but probably they are not UTF-8 this why he cannot see them correcly in an UTF-8 environment
[12:52] <faust> symbols like "ß" exists also in charset that are not UTF-8
[12:52] <pilikeits> Swingline711, but there is one problem. if there is 10 files and i only want one. I can't choose it in early stage i have to wait a while that transmission is starting to download and then i can choose the files.
[12:53] <Swingline711> especially with magnet links I would imagine.
[12:53] <pilikeits> Swingline711, before when i press "download torrent" there came a list of files on my screen where i could choose what to download.
[12:53] <agent_white> pilikeits: It's because it needs to first create the list of all the possible files.
[12:53] <mpathy> faust: yes and äüö too.. so I really wondering what happend
[12:53] <pilikeits> ok
[12:53] <agent_white> So sometimes you need to wait for it to load, before de-selecting unwanted items.
[12:53] <faust> mpathy: maybe I'm missing something
[12:53] <Swingline711> yes magnets are a little bit different since they will need to 'lend' or 'ask' other clients for further information. pilikeits
[12:54] <Swingline711> a physical compiled .torrent file has loads of those things built in. So there is a difference.
[12:54] <pilikeits> Swingline711, ok :) thank you
[12:54] <Swingline711> a magnet only has like a 'hint' of the signature of a torrent file information.
[12:55] <pilikeits> agent_white, thank you for you too :)
[12:55] <coddder> My eth doesn't wrok. However, my wifi works like a charm. Could anyone help?
[12:55] <agent_white> pilikeits: Of course! Swingline711's answer it less vague than mine :P
[12:55] <coddder> Now, I write using wifi.
[12:56] <agent_white> a/it/is/
[12:56] <coddder> I've used inconfig -a and I have the log.
[12:56] <dragonfly> Hi, is there a chance to start a VNC from windows pc to linux?
[12:56] <coddder> *ifconfig
[12:56] <sacarlson> coddder: we can try.  so it's not seen at all with ifconfig ?
[12:56] <Swingline711> there might be some fun things in the magnet: specs so that one could embed much more info than just the most used cases.
[12:56] <Swingline711> like add some more data to provide a little bit more information, but I do not know.
[12:57] <compdoc> coddder, paste the log on pastebin.com
[12:57] <coddder> http://pastebin.com/eJKf94HE
[12:57] <dragonfly> Is it possible to remote desktop my ubuntu from windows pc?
[12:57] <coddder> That's from my school.
[12:57] <coddder> However, the same problem at home.
[12:58] <sacarlson> coddder: so were is the wlan ?
[12:58] <agent_white> dragonfly: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/remote-windows-linux.html
[12:58] <egg_> hi everyone
[12:58] <coddder> I tried to download sth
[12:58] <coddder> 1,1 kb and then stopped or sth like it
[12:58] <dragonfly> @agent_white I know about this but I mean like full graphic display?
[12:59] <coddder> I use firefox and lubuntu 14.04 LTS. I tried 14.10 and problem ... the same?
[12:59] <compdoc> what is sth?
[12:59] <coddder> sth - something
[12:59] <coddder> Maybe I should try another browser? No idea left ...
[13:00] <egg_> i m .looking for a command to solve my problem. i was running a dualboot Win7/ubuntu, i would like to reset an hard drive to install only win 7. i formated the Hard drive and now when i try to install seven i get a grub rescue screen. what can i do to delete grub  please ?
[13:01] <compdoc> according to your ifconfig, it has no ip address. Its also assigned eth2, instead of eth0
[13:01] <compdoc> but eth2 can work, as long as it has an address
[13:01] <agungspy> hay
[13:02] <shadowe989> coddder: try downloading via command line before u go through the trouble of switching.
[13:03] <shadowe989> coddder: wget ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/100MB.zip
[13:03] <shadowe989> coddder: if that has the same problem then it might be something more.
[13:04] <coddder> @shadowe989 I'll however I have to go offline for a moment.
[13:04] <dragonfly> Does anyone know how to get remote desktop display connection with graphic monitoring from windows 7 to ubuntu?
[13:04] <coddder> I mean, to disconnect wifi
[13:04] <shadowe989> coddder: I'll  be here just type my name and hit tab to get my attention.
[13:04] <coddder> Really thanks
[13:05] <coddder> IMHO the problem doesn't exist on Windows
[13:05] <shadowe989> coddder: if wget (web get) has a problem then we know something is up with linux then. Then we can check into other things.
[13:06] <theadmin> egg_: You don't have to remove GRUB, Windows will overwrite the bootloader after installation.
[13:06] <theadmin> egg_: Just boot from a Windows DVD
[13:07] <theadmin> egg_: You need to tell your BIOS to boot from it
[13:07] <mpathy> faust: EriC^^: I found a tool because I started another search because I didnt believe nobody worked on this topic already, and I had (finally) success: h2rename - http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/H2rename-Dateien-und-Verzeichnisse-umbenennen-292168.html - it works automagically ;)
[13:07] <shadowe989> egg_: theadmin is correct, windows will replace it with its own.
[13:08] <egg_> theadmin: ok i m going to try
[13:08] <dragonfly> Please, can somebody help me..?
[13:08] <EriC^^> mpathy: great! :)
[13:08] <egg_> shadowe989: thx to you too
[13:08] <theadmin> dragonfly: I didn't really understand the "graphic monitoring" part, but TeamViewer is one of the easiest remote desktop tools to set up for Windows, Linux and OS X
[13:08] <faust> mpathy: good :)
[13:08] <godbod>
[13:09] <shadowe989> dragonfly: I just signed in, maybe I might be able to help real quick.
[13:09] <UnHolyTerror> dragonfly, what is the problem you are having?
[13:09] <shadowe989> dragonfly: what is the problem?
[13:09] <shadowe989> egg_: np good luck =)
[13:09] <coddder_> @shadowe989 unable to resolve the host...
[13:09] <coddder_> And u can see, wifi works like a charm
[13:09] <compdoc> dragonfly, you can try installing vino, which lets you share the desktop
[13:10] <shadowe989> coddder_: do you know how to configure "DNS Settings"?
[13:10] <dragonfly> Well i would like to remote desktop on my linux machines one is ubuntu another is kali but anways I don't want the terminal remote desktop connection.. I would like a "display" connection like when you are connecting with TV from windows to windows..
[13:10] <shadowe989> coddder_: or have you ruled that out?
[13:11] <UnHolyTerror> dragonfly, so you don't want SSH, you want GUI???
[13:11] <dragonfly> yes GUI
[13:11] <coddder_> shadowe989 no ... however, I've tried many solutions and I think that I should reinstall lubuntu.
[13:11] <UnHolyTerror> Ok, what desktop are you using (on Ubuntu)?
[13:11] <coddder_> shadowe989 I mean before doing sth else
[13:11] <egg_> shadowe989: theadmin  / i cant reach the bios, i get a error unknow filesystem
[13:12] <theadmin> egg_: You are skipping the BIOS setup
[13:12] <shadowe989> coddder_: well 1sec let me see, so your ethernet is the problem right?
[13:12] <dragonfly> Amm I'm sorry what do you mean by what desktop?
[13:12] <theadmin> egg_: You can "reach" the BIOS even without a hard drive
[13:12] <coddder_> shadowe989 yes
[13:12] <coddder_> How I've said, wifi works like a charm
[13:12] <shadowe989> coddder_: do you know the ip to your router?
[13:12] <UnHolyTerror> dragonfly, what ubuntu are you using?
[13:13] <dragonfly> 14.04 64 bit
[13:13] <shadowe989> coddder_: like for me its, <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:13] <coddder_> shadowe989
[13:13] <shadowe989> coddder_: try to ping it via: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:13] <coddder_> shadowe989 I think that it's not related to my router because the same problem at school
[13:13] <sacarlson> coddder_: sounds like you might have a good eth2 but you just don't set it up
[13:13] <UnHolyTerror> dragonfly, is it GNOME, KDE, etc?
[13:13] <dragonfly> gnome
[13:14] <shadowe989> coddder_, sacarlson thats what im leaning towards.
[13:14] <coddder_> shadowe989 I can reinstall my lubuntu to delete all the used solutions and write tomorrow.
[13:14] <sacarlson> coddder_: iwconfig will verifty that eth2 is not your wifi
[13:14] <shadowe989> coddder_: I do not think reformating will help if its a configuration issue or driver.
[13:14] <UnHolyTerror> Ok, what have you tried? I use 'Remote Desktop Viewer' found under Menu->Internet
[13:15] <dragonfly> Yes but I want to connect to ubuntu from windows not from ubuntu to windows.
[13:15] <shadowe989> coddder_: its most likely just a quick fix.
[13:15] <coddder_> shadowe989 yes but I tried to disable some things ... and I think that it can cause other problem
[13:16] <sacarlson> coddder_: if eth2 is your wifi then you might try sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[13:16] <shadowe989> sacarlson: did he say it said eth2?
[13:16] <shadowe989> sacarlson: wlan0 should be for wireless generally.
[13:16] <dragonfly> UnHolyTerror: I can connect from ubuntu to windows, but I want to connect from windows to ubuntu via GUI
[13:16] <sacarlson> coddder_: yes he pastebinit ifconfig but all that was seen was eth2 and lo
[13:17] <coddder_> It was from my school where there is only eth
[13:17] <coddder_> no wifi
[13:17] <coddder_> but the same problem with eth at home
[13:17] <coddder_> and wifi works like a charm
[13:17] <coddder_> what's more, on Windows at school eth works
[13:17] <UnHolyTerror> dragonfly, ok, so you need to tell ubuntu to allow Remote Desktop, look under Preferences->Remote desktop or something like that (I'm on 10.10)
[13:18] <sacarlson> coddder_: well we would need to know what is the wifi and what is cat5 lan  with iwconfig  that can be done
[13:18] <coddder_> I don't think that format can help but It can make it clear that there aren't problems related with the previous solutions
[13:18] <dragonfly> Yes but amm what software should I use? Teamviewer?
[13:19] <shadowe989> dragonfly: vnc is built in ubuntu for remote desktop
[13:19] <shadowe989> !vnc
[13:19] <dragonfly> Aha thanks.
[13:19] <shadowe989> !remmina
[13:19] <coddder_> So sacarlson and  shadowe989 I'll write your nicknames and I'll write after formatting
[13:19] <dragonfly> This is what I have needed! Thanks a lot!
[13:20] <UnHolyTerror> Once you set up that, just use Remote Desktop from windows to connect.
[13:20] <coddder_> U are from USA? Because thing is that I'm from Poland and the time can be a problem
[13:20] <dragonfly> Ok thank you all UnHolyTerror, Shadowe989, ubottu
[13:20] <dragonfly> thanks!
[13:20] <shadowe989> coddder_: Yeah I am but I'm a dev so I'm up around those times.
[13:21] <shadowe989> dragonfly: np take care. =)
[13:22] <coddder_> shadowe989 so I'll format to make it clear that nothing else could be a problem and then write ;)
[13:23] <coddder_> shadowe989 So I'll write and really thanks for help ;)
[13:24] <shadowe989> coddder_: sounds like a plan =)
[13:25] <coddder_> shadowe989 At school I use 14.10 on usb (not live but normal installation), I can make a log from there too. Do it with 14.10 or install 14.04? ;)
[13:25] <coddder_> shadowe989 But IMHO I think that It can be left because the same problem at home
[13:26] <shadowe989> coddder_: I generally stick with the long term release editions, but it doesn't really matter. Pick what you like best.
[13:27] <shadowe989> coddder_: true it might be driver issue or something, check your PMs on irc.
[13:28] <Guest33433> Hi
[13:29] <Guest33433> any one can help?
[13:29] <shadowe989> Guest33433: hi =)

[13:31] <shadowe989> mynameisdeleted: killing X will restart your display but you'll lose your current windows you have open. =( but I think EriC^^ is right.
[13:33] <OerHeks> !info kaffeine
[13:34] <OerHeks> Guest33433, why such old version ?
[13:34] <shadowe989> Guest33433: sudo dpkg -i kaffeine*.deb
[13:34] <shadowe989> Guest33433: im not sure what error your getting
[13:34] <Guest33433> ok sir let me explain what
[13:34] <shadowe989> Guest33433: sure =)
[13:35] <Guest33433> ok such old version ,some friends wants to share sattlite chanels by a plugin
[13:35] <mynameisdeleted> so that started the language switcher.. but still cant see sound control in menu bar
[13:36] <Guest33433> so I  ,l write some errors what they get
[13:36] <mynameisdeleted> with kde it was easy to start and stop all parts manually from cmdline
[13:36] <shadowe989> mynameisdeleted: does rebooting not solve this?
[13:36] <w00tburger> anyone recomment any free courses or programs for disassembly?
[13:36] <mynameisdeleted> doesnt hurt to reboot
[13:36] <mynameisdeleted> I had to kill lightdm to re-install nvidia driver
[13:37] <cfhowlett> w00tburger, ##linux would know
[13:37] <EriC^^> mynameisdeleted: try  gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.sound visible true
[13:37] <mynameisdeleted> after some package upgrade messed that up
[13:37] <Guest33433> configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
[13:37] <Guest33433> Please check whether you installed KDE correctly -
[13:37] <shadowe989> mynameisdeleted: oh educational my bad.
[13:37] <EriC^^> mynameisdeleted: try setting it to false then true
[13:37] <shadowe989> Guest33433: ok sec
[13:38] <mynameisdeleted> this time to start unity I started an xterm in an x server.. ran the command "unity"
[13:38] <mynameisdeleted> to start it
[13:38] <mynameisdeleted> had to kill and restart compiz for the decorations to come out right
[13:38] <mynameisdeleted> is there 1 command I can type to start unity 100% proper?
[13:38] <EriC^^> mynameisdeleted: why are you starting unity manually?
[13:38] <mynameisdeleted> from a plain old xterm failsafe?
[13:38] <mynameisdeleted> because when I logged in with unity it took 10 mins and didnt go anywhere
[13:38] <Guest33433> shadowe989 :when we use the source code also face the same error
[13:39] <EriC^^> mynameisdeleted: there's setsid unity
[13:39] <EriC^^> mynameisdeleted: you can use that to restart unity too
[13:39] <mynameisdeleted> that worked amazingly fast....
[13:39] <mynameisdeleted> mcuh better than rebootign the computer for 1 crashed application
[13:40] <mynameisdeleted> (which I think is a terrible suggestion)
[13:40] <shadowe989> Guest33433: try: "apt-get install -f"
[13:40] <mynameisdeleted> actually that same recommendation was why I switchede my other computer to kde... didnt want to have to reboot my file/print server every time the desktop crashed
[13:41] <Guest33433> ashadowe989:then?
[13:41] <shadowe989> Guest33433: try to run it again after that.
[13:41] <Guest33433> i.e whats the next step if I faild?
[13:41] <shadowe989> Guest33433: wait a moment while I look into it.
[13:42] <Guest33433> ok thank you I shall do it for my fraind
[13:43] <mynameisdeleted> the services I wanted( I found them) are indicator-sound-service and indicator-datetime-service
[13:43] <mynameisdeleted> all good now
[13:43] <shadowe989> Guest33433: what happens when you type: "which kde4-config"
[13:44] <shadowe989> Guest46792: does it find a path or nothing?
[13:45] <shadowe989> mynameisdeleted: nice =)
[13:45] <mynameisdeleted> all sorts of ubuntu forums or ubuntu related help areas have questions about how to make the system tray reappear if it doesnt show
[13:45] <mynameisdeleted> now I have an answer how to start manually .. but woudl like to make sure that answer is more complete
[13:46] <mynameisdeleted> there are a list of folders in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-*
[13:46] <mynameisdeleted> each folder contains a binary with a service name
[13:46] <mynameisdeleted> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service is for sound for x86_64
[13:46] <mynameisdeleted> replace x86_64 for i386 based or arm based systems
[13:48] <Simplex7> Hey. Does any one have a chrubuntu on intel chromebook?
[13:49] <mynameisdeleted> indicator-keyboard service is an exception that is not in a subfolder but in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ directly
[13:49] <shadowe989> Simplex7: I use to, I flashed my bios though.
[13:49] <mynameisdeleted> as is indicator-applet-complete(which doesnt do as its name suggests)
[13:49] <shadowe989> Simplex7: Whats your question?
[13:50] <Simplex7> Recently i have started to here a click coming from inside my Laptop
[13:50] <shadowe989> Simplex7: Acer C7?
[13:50] <Simplex7> its sounds like Click...Click its almost on a tempo
[13:50] <Simplex7> Yes
[13:50] <shadowe989> Simplex7: left side?
[13:50] <shadowe989> Simplex7: or does it come from the right hand side of the laptop?
[13:50] <Simplex7> It's not doing so at the moment but it's hard to Tell
[13:51] <Simplex7> So left side and right side mean to different things?
[13:51] <Simplex7> two*
[13:54] <xvzf> hi I installed skype on my Lubuntu 14.04. I hear the system sounds but I cannot make the microphone work. I installed pavucontrol to no avail. On pavucontrol I see that the microphone is working, still, when I test skype I cannot hear my recorded voice. What can I do?
[13:54] <shadowe989> Simplex7: yeah if you want to make it do something just type: while True; echo {a..z}{1..9}; done
[13:55] <shadowe989> Simplex7: it will cause a loop of spam to heat up your laptop some, if you hear the clicking then. let me know. Then It might be what my problem was.
[13:55] <shadowe989> control + c , control + d multiple times to make it stop.
[13:56] <Simplex7> What was your problem if i might ask.
[13:56] <shadowe989> Simplex7: cheap fan heatsink. Its clicking away right now at my desk heh.
[13:56] <shadowe989> Simplex7: right hand side clicks = hard drive failure but we can test for that.
[13:57] <shadowe989> Simplex7: heat sink is on the left.
[13:57] <Simplex7> Oh ok. I think i might be on the left because im currently using the laptop and if it was a HD failure i don't think i would be able to use it lol
[13:58] <shadowe989> Simplex7: Linux would be warning you like crazy too if it was failing.
[13:58] <Simplex7> I think it might be the heat sink. i'll double check next time it happends
[13:58] <Simplex7> happens*
[13:58] <Simplex7> And i can imagine lol
[13:58] <Simplex7> Thanks why Linux Rocks bro
[13:59] <shadowe989> Simplex7: Yeah, its no big deal if its the fan, just one day take it apart or blow some air in the vent.
[13:59] <Simplex7> Alright Awesome glad to hear it was not as serious as i thought it was
[14:00] <shadowe989> Yea =)
[14:00] <Simplex7> Your Awesome Bud Thanks for the Help.
[14:00] <shadowe989> Simplex7: anytime, take it easy.
[14:00] <Simplex7> I've add you to my friends list. Catch you around my friend.
[14:00] <Simplex7> Have an amazing day.
[14:01] <shadowe989> ty, you too =)
[14:03] <Fazer2> hi, I want to patch qt package and upload it to PPA, should I use this tutorial? http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/patches-to-packages.html
[14:04] <paulzz> I add this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~boost-latest/+archive/ubuntu/ppa by running sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boost-latest/ppa -y then I try to install using sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev by this is only installing version 46 rather then 55, how do I install version 55?
[14:04] <shadowe989> Fazer2: I think theres a ubuntu-dev channel on here that might be able to help you.
[14:05] <Fazer2> shadowe989: alright, thanks
[14:05] <shadowe989> Fazer2: this is more of end user support mostly.
[14:05] <shadowe989> Fazer2: good luck.
[14:06] <belgianguy> paulzz: from the distributor, Ubuntu packages often are not the latest version
[14:06] <paulzz> belgianguy: ya thats why I added that PPA I linked
[14:06] <belgianguy> and does it list its version as 55?
[14:06] <paulzz> if you look in the PPA you see version 55 is in there
[14:06] <shadowe989> paulzz: apt-get install packagename=version
[14:07] <acovrig> aplay -l shows my HDMI audio and Kmixer shows it, bit it is greyed out, why would it be greyed out, and how do I fix it? (I’m guessing its a simple modprobe, but not sure what)
[14:08] <paulzz> shadowe989: how do I know the package name? In the ppa under package it just says "boost1.55"? But it has 3 listed with versions "1.55.0-1ppa1~saucy1" "1.55.0-1ppa1~quantal1" etc?
[14:08] <belgianguy> there doesn't seem to be a utopic
[14:09] <paulzz> Is the package name to give to apt-get install the name from here: https://launchpad.net/~boost-latest/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages under "source" ?
[14:09] <shadowe989> paulzz: ok sec i'll check the ppa, on a non gui system atm.
[14:09] <shadowe989> paulzz: nah source isn't what you want. 1sec
[14:09] <paulzz> shadowe989
[14:09] <paulzz> ok :)
[14:10] <shadowe989> paulzz: you on ubuntu 14.04?
[14:10] <acovrig> also, the desired output shows in aplay -l but not lcpci, any ideas why?
[14:10] <paulzz> 12.04 LTS
[14:14] <acovrig> alsamixer -c 0 seems to let me change it, but no audio goes out because it isn’t default
[14:14] <paulzz> shadowe989: oh btw its 12.04 server if that makes any diff
[14:15] <firebird1> hailo
[14:15] <shadowe989> paulzz: nah
[14:17] <acovrig> what modprobe do I need to access my onboard Intel HDMI as an audio device?
[14:17] <EriC^^> paulzz: you want this package boost1.55 	1.55.0-1ppa1~precise1
[14:17] <paulzz> EriC^^: so apt-get install 1.55.0-1ppa1~precise1 ?
[14:17] <shadowe989> paulzz: since your a dev it might just be easier to remove boost1.49 with autoremove and build it due to the dependencies in the repos for 12.04.
[14:18] <EriC^^> paulzz: try apt-get install boost1.55
[14:19] <shadowe989> EriC^^: that could work if the other packages are not out of date. I never used boost python libs =/
[14:19] <paulzz> EriC^^: I get an error with that: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable that you have
[14:20] <EriC^^> paulzz: does apt-get see the package
[14:20] <reeed> strange. the buttons to 'restart' or 'shutdown' my computer are grayed out in the lightDM login dialog
[14:20] <paulzz> yes but wont install: The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libogre-1.9-dev : Depends: libboost-dev but it is not going to be installed
[14:20] <EriC^^> paulzz: try apt-cache policy boost1.55 , see if it mentions the precise package and the ppa
[14:20] <reeed> and in the KDE start menu, the options don't exist at all
[14:20] <EriC^^> paulzz: oh ok
[14:20] <paulzz> not sure what this means :s
[14:21] <EriC^^> paulzz: did you try sudo apt-get -f install ?
[14:21] <paulzz> no I'll try it
[14:22] <EriC^^> paulzz: seems that libogre-... has an unmet dependency which is libboost-dev , but it can't be installed for some reason, you can check sudo apt-get install libboost-dev and see why it can't be installed
[14:22] <belgianguy> paulzz: try 'sudo apt-cache search boost'
[14:23] <belgianguy> that should list the packages available
[14:25] <paulzz> ah boost installs now, its  libogre-1.9-dev that is causing the failure, even with the -f option
[14:26] <paulzz> I am using the openmw/openmw ppa for libogre-1.9-dev perhaps I need to find another one
[14:27] <belgianguy> what is the error?
[14:28] <acovrig> cat /proc/asound/cards only shows my analog onboard, and there is just /proc/asound/card0, which is my analog, but nothing hdmi
[14:28] <popey> acovrig: is snd_hda_codec_hdmi loaded?
[14:28] <paulzz> this one The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libogre-1.9-dev : Depends: libboost-dev but it is not going to be installed
[14:28] <popey> acovrig: lsmod | grep snd_hda_codec_hdmi
[14:28] <paulzz> (even though boost 1.55 is installed)
[14:29] <acovrig> popey: yes, it seems to be
[14:29] <popey> acovrig: does the hdmi not show up in the mixer -> output ?
[14:29] <acovrig> popey: in kmixer?
[14:29] <popey> oh, kubuntu?
[14:29] <popey> no idea, sorry.
[14:30] <popey> acovrig: http://imgur.com/46dJPFa is what i see on unity
[14:30] <belgianguy> paulzz: maybe purge everything boost related and have libogre-1.9-dev pull in its dependencies again?
[14:31] <Noobproblems> HI everyone
[14:31] <Noobproblems> can someone help me with a question?
[14:31] <paulzz> belgianguy: how would I purge boost?
[14:31] <acovrig> popey: it shows up, but is greyed out; it doesn’t show up in lspci (grep -i hdmi) but does show up in aplay -l...
[14:32] <acovrig> popey: yea, I would be using unity, but for some reason it is broken on my system, I tried just about everything and sat on this IRC for a while, but KDE is starting to grow on me, so I guess I’m fine...
[14:32] <popey> heh
[14:32] <Noobproblems> I recently installed Ubuntu into a small partition, but now I can't choose between windows 8 or ubuntu when I start up my PC, what can I do to fix this?
[14:32] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: !question
[14:32] <shadowe989> blah lol
[14:32] <Noobproblems> !question
[14:32] <belgianguy> paulzz: sudo apt-get remove libboost-all-dev
[14:33] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: ok
[14:33] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: lets see so what does it boot to.
[14:33] <acovrig> popey: HDMI has shown up in system sounds when unity was working...
[14:33] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: Windows?
[14:33] <Noobproblems> no, it always boots to ubuntu
[14:33] <bibi234> I'm using screen on a remote ssh server on which I'm connected through ssh, at some point I've been disconnected, when I was on the sreen, now when I log to the server I can't retrieve the screen why?
[14:33] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: and you're sure windows is installed correct?
[14:34] <acovrig> bibi234: did you do screen -x or screen -dr?
[14:34] <acovrig> bibi234: or screen -r
[14:34] <bibi234> it looks like it's still there : 6954.import	(30/07/2014 16:04:36)	(Attached)
[14:34] <Noobproblems> yeah, I had windows just 10 minutes ago,
[14:34] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: sorry have to ask the obvious lol
[14:34] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: ok 1sec we'll get this fixed =)
[14:34] <acovrig> bibi234: I put “screen -x -R -S lo” in my .profile so anytime I connect it resumes the session
[14:34] <bibi234> acovrig: I've tried sreen -r import as usual
[14:34] <Noobproblems> thanks :)
[14:35] <acovrig> bibi234: what happens if you do screen -x
[14:35] <bibi234> acovrig: how I'm back on it now, thanks!
[14:35] <bibi234> I didn't know about this
[14:35] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: sudo update-grub
[14:35] <l3dx> I've just completed installing ubuntu, but for some reason all content of my /home is not available. I tried booting the live-usb again, and from there I see that I have both /home/thomas and /home/@home/thomas
[14:35] <acovrig> popey: is modprobe snd-hda-codec-hdmi the only modprobe I need?
[14:35] <l3dx> this is a LVM setup
[14:36] <Noobproblems> shadowe989 where do I put that command? I'm new to linux, sorry!
[14:36] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: not a problem. =)
[14:36] <l3dx> /home/thomas is my old home folder, while the other one is new
[14:36] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: press control + alt + t
[14:36] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: at your desktop
[14:36] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: a terminal should appear correct?
[14:36] <Noobproblems> yes, it's now updating and it's done
[14:37] <popey> acovrig: you shouldn't need that
[14:37] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: grub is the bootloader that handles that stuff
[14:37] <popey> acovrig: I mean, you shouldn't have to be fiddling with kernel modules
[14:37] <popey> acovrig: dunno why it's greyed out though, sorry.
[14:37] <Noobproblems> shadowe989 so, if I restart the PC I will be able to choose now?
[14:37] <acovrig> popey: I wonder if when I purged everything graphical a while back, if I killed something I shouldn’t have
[14:37] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: strange enough ubuntu generally doesn't wipe windows from the boot menu... hmm
[14:37] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: yes in theory but stay connected just incase.
[14:38] <Noobproblems> I think I did something wrong while installing it.
[14:38] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: why do you say that
[14:38] <Noobproblems> Because I have 2 harddrives
[14:38] <Noobproblems> one SSD and a HDD
[14:38] <Noobproblems> the SSD has the windows but I partioned the HDD
[14:38] <Noobproblems> to install ubuntu
[14:38] <Noobproblems> I think somehow I have messed up the SSD
[14:38] <bibi234> acovrig: by curiosity, an you tell me what happened? Now when I get out of the screen I can only use "screen -x" to get back in
[14:39] <bibi234> screen -r screenName doesn't work anymore
[14:39] <Noobproblems> I will restart it now. Hope it works!
[14:39] <Noobproblems> thank you very much!
[14:39] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: ok, hopefully it works, good luck!
[14:39] <acovrig> bibi234: I’m guessing it wasn’t matching the screenname propperly, which is strange
[14:39] <shadowe989> Noobproblems: come back if it doesn't, we'll figure it out. :)
[14:41] <avoider> hi yes the plugin indicator is still acting up even when i went back the the defult ubuntu themes.
[14:41] <paulzz>  libogre-1.9-dev wants to use boost 46, is there I way I can make it install ignoring boost 46 as I want it to use version 55?
[14:41] <Noobproblemsolve> shadowe989 thank you very much, it worked perfectly!
[14:41] <avoider> Still telling me i have to execute it and i do that keeps popping up with that error
[14:41] <shadowe989> Noobproblemsolve: awesome. =)
[14:41] <Noobproblemsolve> now, off to experience ubuntu!
[14:41] <Noobproblemsolve> thanks guys!
[14:41] <shadowe989> Noobproblemsolve: enjoy! =D
[14:42] <avoider> Any ideas?
[14:44] <avoider> Here is a picture of the current issue
[14:44] <avoider> http://i.imgur.com/TEivVNO.png
[14:44] <avoider> Thats what keeps popping up repeatedly
[14:46] <acovrig> popey: cat /proc/asound/modules shows snd_hda_intel, should it show some HDMI option?
[14:48] <acovrig> mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.7 works, but any idea how I would set it as system default?
[14:49] <solsTiCe> acovrig: if i remember well into ~/.maplyerrc ?
[14:50] <acovrig> solsTiCe: I want to set it system-wide, not just for mplayer
[14:50] <belgianguy> paulzz: if OGRE has a dependency on 46 why change it?
[14:51] <acovrig> solsTiCe: should I put pcm.!default { type hw card 0 device 7 } in my /etc/asound.conf ?
[14:52] <paulzz> belgianguy: because the other code that uses ogre fails to build with that version of boost because that version of boost has a bug that the other code hits
[14:54] <belgianguy> paulzz: care to tell what bug?
[14:54] <belgianguy> maybe someone else has had it before
[14:55] <paulzz> belgianguy: it fails to build when boost::shared_ptr is used when cpp11 is enabled in the compiler options
[14:57] <Vladimirski> I ping my server remotely but when I shutdown the server the ping is still successful??
[14:57] <Vladimirski> I ping my server remotely but when I shutdown the server the ping is still successful??
[14:57] <Vladimirski> so the public IP is the router I guess
[14:57] <Vladimirski> My question, how do I ping the server specifically?S
[14:58] <hehe> hey folks I installed usb huawei stick it asks for pin i also set correct provider data but then enable mobile broadband box is greyed out
[14:58] <hehe> how I can enable it?
[14:59] <daftykins> Vladimirski: from on the internet? you can't
[14:59] <daftykins> Vladimirski: assuming you're talking about a computer behind a router with SSH port forwarded
[14:59] <Vladimirski> can't I just specify the port (port forwarding port) daftykins
[14:59] <Vladimirski> yep
[15:00] <hehe> do I need usb modem switch
[15:00] <daftykins> Vladimirski: ping is a completely different protocol (ICMP) than TCP and UDP, you can't ping ports.
[15:01] <paulzz> hehe: only way would be to forward all ICMP to the ubuntu machine
[15:01] <hehe> paulzz: how to do it?
[15:01] <Vladimirski> yeah, but it must be possible somehow to ping a machine behind a router
[15:01] <Vladimirski> daftykins:
[15:01] <daftykins> Vladimirski: no.
[15:02] <daftykins> Vladimirski: not unless you had a second host you can connect into and ping the first via its' local address. it's simply not possible
[15:02] <daftykins> also this topic is more relevant for #networking not here
