[08:45] <dexit> Umm.. is there anyone who can help me with (http proxy) Squid 3.1.19 ? -> Meaning it was working till yesterday, after a huge fire and power outtage, it's not letting through http connections and giving me MISS/503,
[08:45] <Lost_x> ObrienDave: Ormoc, Philippines. One of the few places that was hit heavily by Typhoon Haiyan last November 2013...
[08:45] <bzf> Hi! I'm trying to boot my 14.04-install from my other disk, but grub just gives me an "you need to load a kernel first"-error. Any ideas?
[08:46] <ObrienDave> Lost_x, ok, thanks, i'll see you tomorrow
[08:47] <Lost_x> yeah. thank also  for the help....
[08:47] <ObrienDave> bzf you don't have a kernel on that disk
[08:47] <ObrienDave> Lost_x, wish i was not so rusty at the partitions LOL
[08:48] <bzf> ObrienDave: But if I mount that drive and look in the boot folder, there actually is
[08:48] <biledemon> Hello. I shouldn't expect any problems running a "superclocked" gfx card on Ubuntu 14.04 right?
[08:48] <Lost_x> you're not.
[08:48] <ObrienDave> grub is not looking there
[08:49] <ObrienDave> bzf, grub is not looking there
[08:49] <Lost_x> im will be shifting to ubuntu next year
[08:49] <Lost_x> just that all of my applicatons where developed in windows
[08:49] <fenakira>  /set beep_msg_level MSGS NOTICES DCC DCCMSGS HILIGHT
[08:49] <bzf> ObrienDave: Hmm okay, I assumed it looked there because the grub.cfg-entry has the line "initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic"
[08:50] <ObrienDave> Lost_x, we'll get this to work
[08:50] <Lost_x> that's why i want to dual boot my new desktop
[08:50] <White_Cat> could someone assist me in seting up rsnapshot ?
[08:50] <Lost_x> i trust you.....
[08:51] <Lost_x> i still have my lappy at home with unallocated space ready for ubunto... :)
[08:51] <ObrienDave> bzf, grub also locates that directory by UUID, that's why it can't find your kernel
[08:51] <Lost_x> i we can make this desktop running my laptop will be next
[08:51] <ObrienDave> Lost_x, it's a deal :)
[08:52] <bzf> ObrienDave: So even if the UUID is set, it won't be able to find it?
[08:52] <ObrienDave> bzf, kind of beyond my knowledge of grub and fstab
[08:53] <ObrienDave> you need a fstab guru to help you with this
[08:56] <sakokap> how do i run  linux-clicky? its an app that make sounds when pressing keys. it says Run the main.py file and it will automaticly detect your keyboards and start clickytty click. double clicking on main.py just opens a text file.
[08:56] <Ben64> sakokap: py is python, so probably "python main.py"
[08:57] <k1l> sakokap: start it with python . but that sounds more like a keylogger :)
[08:57] <Ben64> sakokap: be very careful running random files from the internet because of yeah that ^
[08:57] <ObrienDave> that would drive me insane after 30 seconds or so LOL
[08:58] <rs14> greetings
[08:59] <sakokap> ben64 could u tell  me of an alternative for lubuntu then?
[08:59] <guest-GblKzM> hello
[09:00] <guest-GblKzM> use xubuntu
[09:00] <Ben64> sakokap: i can't imagine the demand for audio files to be played for every keystroke would be above zero
[09:00] <sagex> hey
[09:01] <guest-GblKzM> hey sagex
[09:01] <brontosaurusrex>  Ben64 why, i would be cool to simulate old typewriter
[09:01] <sagex> is there a channel for ubuntu development
[09:01] <cfhowlett> !contribute | sagex
[09:01] <brontosaurusrex> also nice for learning typing
[09:02] <usr13> Touch typing - gtypist  (the best).
[09:02] <guest-GblKzM> does someone have experience with making my ubuntu to an hotspot?
[09:03] <sakokap> :bronto
[09:03] <bcvery> sagex, #ubuntu-devel from: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[09:03] <usr13> guest-GblKzM: First, you have to have a wifi card that supports infastructure mode, (most dont).
[09:04] <sagex> #ubuntu-devel
[09:04] <sagex> thanks
[09:04] <guest-GblKzM> ok, thanks. it a an onboard..
[09:05] <usr13> guest-GblKzM: infastructure mode allows multiple users to connect and stay connected via WiFi.  A better solution is a wireless router that supports dd-wrt (which has hotspot features built in).
[09:06] <usr13> guest-GblKzM: (There is another one besides dd-wrt, but can't remember off top of head...)
[09:06] <sakokap> brontosaurusrex and also for people who must type while looking at the keyboard. disabled people, u know. :)
[09:07] <usr13> guest-GblKzM: There may be some software that emulates infastructure mode now-days, not sure... just so you know, I'm not really an authority on the subject so... FYI
[09:08] <guest-GblKzM> ok, thanks for info.. i try :)
[09:10] <karol_> s
[09:10] <karol_> :D
[09:10] <karol_> hi all
[09:24] <svetlana> Hi all. I've read man page of winbindd but I didn't understand what it does. I don't need to share files from my Linux desktop, but I need to resolve names of other Windows computers in the LAN, and read files from them. Do I need winbindd?
[09:30]  * fsdfs on
[09:30] <svetlana> fsdfs, hi.
[09:30] <fsdfs> hey
[09:31] <svetlana> fsdfs, how can I help you?
[09:31] <biledemon> Hello. I shouldn't expect any problems running a "superclocked" gfx card on Ubuntu 14.04 right?
[09:32] <fsdfs> svetlana, i'm ok, thanks. no problems
[09:37] <Hanumaan> after installing windows 8.1 grub is gone in 14.04 tried boot-repair (after burning it on a CD) but it just keeps doing doing something but nothing happens how to restore grub in 14.04
[09:39] <dexit> Umm.. is there anyone who can help me with (http proxy) Squid 3.1.19 ? -> Meaning it was working till yesterday, after a huge fire and power outtage, it's not letting through http connections and giving me MISS/503,
[09:40] <svetlana> can't help through the entire thing but I suspect that checking logs may be helpful
[09:42] <fidel_> mh - upgrading from 12.4 LTS to 14.04.1 broke my grub
[09:43] <fidel_> lucky that i used just a silly vm to test - but still unexpected
[09:47] <Rohan_m_> where is .ssh of directory of user www-data i'm unable to find it even though i made a connection to localhost
[09:49] <wheatthin> rohan, I don't think www-data has /bin/bash as a shell.
[09:49] <ketankul> hello all
[09:53] <wheatthin> You can become a member of the group www-data with your username, and then add a sticky for the group on the directory in question.
[09:53] <wheatthin> login with that username, and upload. It'll upload as www-data group and be read by apache2
[09:58] <White_Cat> Could anyone assist me in seting up rsnapshot? I have a second unformatted drive already. I want to have backups every day at say 23:00 to this drive. It should only keep track of the change so as not to fill the drive quickly.
[09:59] <MonkeyDust> White_Cat  you can do that with 'rsync -a' in a cronjob
[10:00] <White_Cat> um okay
[10:00] <White_Cat> I am fairly new to linux
[10:00] <White_Cat> can this be run automatically every day?
[10:00] <bekks> !cron | White_Cat
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> White_Cat  yes, with 0 23 * * * [command]
[10:01] <White_Cat> it would suto start on boot right?
[10:01] <MonkeyDust> White_Cat  'suto start'?
[10:02] <White_Cat> suto? not sudo?
[10:02] <White_Cat> I am very new to linux :)
[10:02] <MonkeyDust> White_Cat  if you want a cron job with as root, use    sudo crontab -e
[10:03] <White_Cat> so what command would I type to backup the entire drive to the second (backup) drive?
[10:04] <White_Cat> if something breaks I can restore from it
[10:05] <ikonia> Rohan_m_: there is no .ssh directory for www-data
[10:05] <ikonia> Rohan_m_: it's not a real user, it doesn't have a valid shell
[10:05] <MonkeyDust> White_Cat  e.g. :   0 23 * * * rsync -a --delete [source] [destination] <-- rsync removes files from your backup, if they are no longer in the original folder
[10:05] <Rohan_m_> ikonia: i gave it shell from /etc/passwd
[10:06] <ikonia> Rohan_m_: you should not do that
[10:06] <ikonia> Rohan_m_: that is very bad
[10:06] <MonkeyDust> White_Cat  an entire drive? that's different
[10:06] <Rohan_m_> ikonia: yeah lot of ppl told me that so i'm goin to fix it back
[10:06] <ddv> White_Cat: depends what kind of backup you want to make
[10:06] <ddv> White_Cat: you could use dd, rsync, tar etc
[10:07] <White_Cat> well whats the better practice
[10:07] <White_Cat> the drive as one partition for data
[10:07] <gregf_> hi. i've installed ubuntu as a guest OS. Full screen mode was working before today as i'd installed the guest os additions
[10:08] <White_Cat> I just need help setting this bckup
[10:08] <MonkeyDust> gregf_  in virtualbox?
[10:08] <White_Cat> I haave been struggling with this for the past 3 days
[10:08] <gregf_> for some reason its switched back again to the small screen after rebooting the vm
[10:08] <gregf_> MonkeyDust: yeah
[10:08] <White_Cat> I dont want to beak something and I dont want to have a backup that doesnt backup well ue to some config issue
[10:09] <gregf_> MonkeyDust: is there something i'm missing :/
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> gregf_  right-ctrl F switches to full screen, but i have no clue why it switches back
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> White_Cat  you just want to backup your /home, or more than that?
[10:11] <gregf_> MonkeyDust: ctrl-F does'nt seem to work either :/
[10:12] <svetlana> Hi I'd like to remove lightdm, but xubuntu-desktop depends on it. Is there another smaller metapackage similar to xubuntu-desktop, which ensures that I don't break the non-gui things?
[10:12] <ddv> White_Cat: You could do a block level backup
[10:12] <ddv> White_Cat: It will copy partitions and filesystems also
[10:13] <White_Cat> okay
[10:13] <White_Cat> what I want to have is a backup I can restore even if I break linux
[10:13] <Ben64> svetlana: why remove lightdm?
[10:13] <ddv> White_Cat: dd if=/dev/yourdrive of=/dev/yourotherdrive bs=1M (keep in mind you will overwrite everything on yourotherdrive, including partitions.)
[10:13] <White_Cat> for quick painless recovery
[10:13] <White_Cat> so that I dont need to recustomise, install etc
[10:13] <svetlana> Ben64, I don't need it.
[10:13] <Ben64> svetlana: do you know what it does?
[10:14] <svetlana> Ben64, yes, I know that it shows the graphical prompt for username and password when I boot. It also switches users.
[10:14] <Ben64> svetlana: so then how do you plan to log in
[10:14] <ObrienDave> magic ;P
[10:15] <svetlana> Ben64, I don't even need graphical things. I'd like to reduce this install.
[10:15] <Ben64> svetlana: then go for it
[10:16] <MonkeyDust> !mini | svetlana
[10:16] <svetlana> Ben64, while doing so, is there a metapackage (such as "ubuntu-core" or something) which prevents me from accidentally installing essential things (such as networking, package manager)?
[10:17] <Ben64> svetlana: no, but you should know what you're removing
[10:17] <svetlana> MonkeyDust, I'm doing this from a system which is already installed. can I run something similar to the "installer" from within an already installed system? If not, then it's not useful (not at this point).
[10:18] <ObrienDave> you want to NOT install essential things?
[10:18] <svetlana> ah. from accidentally UNinstalling
[10:19] <svetlana> Ben64, ok, will do
[10:20] <ObrienDave> so, you're looking to reduce the bloatware? remove non-essential items?
[10:22] <svetlana> ObrienDave, yes, I don't need a lot of things
[10:25] <Mikerhinos> hi all
[10:25] <ObrienDave> greetings and welcome
[10:30] <bezaban> I have a very unresponsive VM average load of 2400, it is hardly responsive at all and running mostly any command is causing hangs.  top -> P doesn't reveal anything consuming a lot of CPU
[10:30] <compdoc> bezaban, kvm?
[10:30] <bezaban> thinking disk IO, but this is on a SAN with SAS drives
[10:30] <bezaban> esxi
[10:31] <bezaban> and san looks fine.  Not sure what I'm asking here, as I have no idea what is causing it
[10:32] <compdoc> san meaning the disk access is over a connection?
[10:32] <bezaban> struggling to get dmesg output.  Might have to reboot it
[10:32] <bezaban> yeah, separate iscsi network.  Other machines on the same arrays are fine and iops are fine
[10:34] <bezaban> it's just a proxy too, but public facing.  I'll check fw
[10:35] <compdoc> it once ran well?
[10:35] <bezaban> yeah, it's been doing fine up until I noticed it in vshpere just now
[10:36] <compdoc> just curious, what does the VM do? what OS?
[10:37] <White_Cat> ddv how can I list my existing drives etc?
[10:38] <White_Cat> "dd if=/dev/yourdrive of=/dev/yourotherdrive bs=1M" seems to be th command you suggested
[10:38] <White_Cat> but wouldnt this overrite everything? I want the backups to maintain a history
[10:38] <White_Cat> so that I can roll back 2 days if need be
[10:40] <bezaban> compdoc: it's an ubuntu proxy
[10:40] <biledemon> Hello. I shouldn't expect any problems running a "superclocked" gfx card on Ubuntu 14.04 right?
[10:40] <bezaban> but we shouldn't be hitting that amount of load, especially not during summer
[10:41] <bcvery> !backup | White_Cat, have you looked at these?
[10:41] <compdoc> White_Cat, dont use dd unless you know what youre doing
[10:42] <White_Cat> I dont know what I am doing
[10:42] <compdoc> dd can destroy stuff
[10:42] <White_Cat> bcvery hmm... Looking
[10:43] <White_Cat> bcvery, I have a second unformatted drive already. I want to have backups every day at say 23:00 to this drive. It should only keep track of the change so as not to fill the drive quickly.
[10:43] <White_Cat> Wich tool would better serve me?
[10:46] <MonkeyDust> as of 14.04, I hate Ubuntu and its derivatives as much as I hate Windows, so the latter is free from charge
[10:46] <fidel_> MonkeyDust: why since 14.04?
[10:47] <bcvery> !info sbackup | White_Cat, try that
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> fidel_  heats up quickly, then shuts down, when i run software manager, or a virtualbox, or an online video (footage about the Ukraine air crash)
[10:51] <White_Cat> bcvery I use an ubuntu server
[10:51] <White_Cat> not desktop
[10:52] <Ben64> MonkeyDust: sounds more like a hardware problem
[10:52] <fidel_> White_Cat: rsync might be an option as well - just to name it (depends what you want to achive in detail)
[10:53] <MonkeyDust> Ben64  not in previous releases
[10:54] <Ben64> MonkeyDust: ok? still sounds like a hardware problem. could be a bug i guess, but still likely hardware
[10:55] <MonkeyDust> Ben64  yes, 14.04 is not suitable for my hardware
[10:55] <Ben64> then run something lighter, like lubuntu or xubuntu
[10:56] <MonkeyDust> Ben64  tried, not better
[10:56] <compdoc> ubuntu server with a minimal desktop is great for that
[10:56] <compdoc> I use Mate
[10:56] <formy84> hallo
[10:56] <MonkeyDust> compdoc  that's a creative solution, lemme try that
[10:56] <Ben64> MonkeyDust: then its probably a hardware problem
[10:57] <MonkeyDust> Ben64  yes,n it's a hardware problem on 14.04, not on previous ubuntu releases
[10:57] <Sverdar> ._.
[10:57] <Ben64> maybe the problem got worse
[10:57] <Ben64> heat up & shutdown is a hardware issue.
[10:57] <compdoc> actually, I use Mate because Unity doesnt work with vncserver or xrdp, and not because I use older hardware.
[10:58] <formy84> \LIST
[10:58] <MonkeyDust> Ben64  say hardware once more

[11:02] <foodoo> Will there be an official announcement somewhere when the Ubuntu LTS 14.04.1 point release is available?
[11:02] <Ben64> pretty sure 14.04.1 is already out
[11:03] <foodoo> Ben64: Does your /etc/motd say that you are using 14.04.1?
[11:03] <Ben64> i'm on 12.04, so no :) but people here have been saying it reports 14.04.1 already
[11:03] <stef_k> trying to upgrade a 12.04.4 server to 14.04.1 but do-release-upgrade states no release found?
[11:03] <ObrienDave> i have 14.04.1
[11:04] <foodoo> ObrienDave: thanks :)
[11:04] <ObrienDave> foodoo, there is no ISO yet afaik
[11:05] <foodoo> ObrienDave: I'll upgrade via apt.
[11:05] <foodoo> from 12.04.4

[11:57] <bee_keeper> Hi, on one ubuntu aws installation i was used to change users with 'su - myuser', for some reason when i do the same now I get only a '$' and no completion in shell.  Any ideas what the problem might be please?
[11:59] <Tlanix> Help
[11:59] <Tlanix> Hello
[11:59] <Fuchs> bee_keeper: that user having a wrong login-shell or said login shell being wrongly configured?
[11:59] <Tlanix> I have an issue with the fun brightness keys on my Acer v5 122p-0643 laptop
[12:00] <Fuchs> bee_keeper: first check what shell that is  (either in /etc/passwd  or via echo $SHELL as that user), then check that shells configurations  (e.g. ~/.bashrc  for bash)
[12:00] <star_prone> did anyone tried to install xfce4-notes under ubuntu with Unity as its desktop environment?
[12:00] <Tlanix> I finally got them working in Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.16rc6
[12:01] <Tlanix> I tried to install catalyst 14.6 beta and now the fn brightness keys stop working properly
[12:02] <Tlanix> I am successfuly running catalyst 14.6 with kernel 3.16rc6
[12:02] <Tlanix> Just the fn+brightness keys stopped working
[12:03] <Tlanix> Any idea? Am I stuck using the open source drivers that came with the kernel?

[12:18] <Quoexl> this is going to sound stupid, but, here goes, what format do I use to log a windows  7 box on to a visible samba share, I've tried HOST/jd \\host\jd and other sundry attempts
[12:18] <calzifer> when will be 14.04.1 released today?
[12:19] <Quoexl> just a few minutes before the download servers screech to a halt
[12:19] <ObrienDave> calzifer, it's supposed to be today, yess
[12:19] <Mikerhinos> I installed Lubuntu on a soft Raid-0, but now when I try to install another distribution I'm stuck in the step where live session is supposed to display if I want to install on full disk, partition manually etc...If I try a "blkid" in terminal, it waits forever...Gparted searches forever fo disks info too...don't know what to do :s
[12:21] <Symmetria> heh shocking how many ubuntu machines are out there running releases which are no longer supported or even available on the mirrors
[12:21] <Quoexl> if it aint broke...
[12:21] <Quoexl> I have a dapper samba server
[12:22] <brontosaurusrex> Symmetria, probably the release schedule  is shocking
[12:22] <Symmetria> http://<IP_ADDRESS> <[12:22] <Symmetria> (thats a live visualisation of the east african ubuntu mirror servers logs)
[12:23] <Symmetria> something I been playing with
[12:23] <Mikerhinos> In fact I'd want to break my soft Raid to install distribution on single disk, and the other one I'll give it to my son because it's SSD and he has an old 5400rpm
[12:23] <aguitel_> 14.04.1 is up ?
[12:23] <Symmetria> heh its kinda a cool visualisation, gives you a nice view of whats going on beyond the standard apache logs
[12:23] <pgar23> Good morning all, I have installed dhcpd and configured the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file with a 192.168.1.XXX/24 scheme but when I type sudo service dhcpd start it says FAILED...any ideas?
[12:24] <fidel_> hi - anyone used to apt-cacher-ng? I am running a virtual server here which acts as apt-proxy for all our ubuntu-servers. this works great so far. now i am realizing that apt-cacher-ng might be as well able to serve other distributions. is that true? experiences are welcome
[12:24] <ObrienDave> aguitel_, no ISO yet, afaik
[12:24] <Quoexl> pgar23: should that be <IP_ADDRESS>/24?
[12:25] <pgar23> Quoexl: yes it is
[12:25] <aguitel_> ObrienDave: ok
[12:25] <Quoexl> ok, thats the extent of my help
[12:25] <pgar23> Quoexl: Any ideas as to why the service fails?
[12:26] <Quoexl> my guess is dhcpd.conf is borked somewhere
[12:26] <pgar23> ya i figured too, thought I would ask
[12:26] <Quoexl> you did make a copy of the original right?
[12:27] <pgar23> Quoexl: the orig was blank, so no...lol
[12:27] <Quoexl> blank dhcp.conf?, hrm lemme look
[12:30] <Quoexl> pgar23: I just installed dhcpd and it switched to udchpd on me
[12:30] <Quoexl> on 14.04
[12:31] <pgar23> Quoexl: i am on 14.04 as well, what do u mean it switched up to udhcpd for you?
[12:33] <Quoexl> pgar23: go to /etc/default/ and see if there is udhcpd file there

[12:34] <pgar23> Quoexl: in /etc/default I see ndd and useradd files
[12:34] <Quoexl> cool_boy: sudo mv blahblah(1).tar.gz newblah.tar.gz
[12:35] <Quoexl> ok what apt-get did you do to get dhcp installed?
[12:35] <cool_boy> Quoexl: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[12:35] <pgar23> Quoexl: forgot to mention, I am running CentOS 6.5 not ubuntu. But configuring a dhcp server should be fairly similar between distros...
[12:36] <Quoexl> ah...not so much
[12:36] <pgar23> Quoexl: I used sudo yum install -y dhcpd
[12:36] <brontosaurusrex> cool_boy, use quotes "name"
[12:38] <cool_boy> brontosaurusrex: it says mv: cannot stat ‘openerp-client-lib-1.1.2(1).tar.gz’: No such file or directory
[12:38] <Quoexl> pgar23: do you have an option in yum to install isc-dhcp-server
[12:38] <pgar23> Quoexl: checking
[12:38] <brontosaurusrex> what is your full command-line cool_boy ?
[12:38] <Quoexl> dhcpd does not exist in the ubuntu world
[12:39] <cool_boy> brontosaurusrex: openerp@ubuntu-Aspire-E1-571:~/Downloads$ mv  'openerp-client-lib-1.1.2(1).tar.gz' openerp-client-lib.tar.gz
[12:40] <brontosaurusrex> try: mv  "openerp-client-lib-1.1.2(1).tar.gz" openerp-client-lib.tar.gz
[12:40] <cool_boy> brontosaurusrex: error is mv: cannot stat ‘openerp-client-lib-1.1.2(1).tar.gz’: No such file or directory
[12:41] <cool_boy> brontosaurusrex: says same mv: cannot stat ‘openerp-client-lib-1.1.2(1).tar.gz’: No such file or directory
[12:41] <Quoexl> maybe mv openerp-cl* newopenerp.tar.gz
[12:41] <pgar23> Quoexl: no isc-dhcp-server...only dhcp.i686
[12:41] <pgar23> which is already installed an nothing to do
[12:42] <brontosaurusrex> mv open (click tab here, add quotes and so on)
[12:42] <Quoexl> ok, I'm no help, isc-dhcp-server is the ubuntu way
[12:42] <brontosaurusrex> bbl
[12:42] <pgar23> next step is to configure the dhcpd.conf file in /etc/dhcp/ which has been done with the <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> scheme
[12:42] <pgar23> Quoexl: No problem. Thanks for trying!
[12:42] <Quoexl> I've never seen a proper installation of dhcpd that didnt populate dhcp.conf with something
[12:42] <iptable> pgar23, configuration parameter names yes. package names and locaiton of configs, no.
[12:43] <iptable> pgar23, tried ##linux?
[12:43] <Quoexl> theyre mean
[12:43] <iptable> depending on the time of day they can be.
[12:43] <pgar23> lol iptable I will givve it a try
[12:43] <pgar23> thx guys!
[12:43] <cool_boy> Quoexl: thanks * worked, brontosaurusrex , TAB doesn`t work ifn '(' is in file name
[12:43] <Quoexl> like hitting #debian at bar closing time
[12:44] <Quoexl> I use * as much as I can, such as cd ~/Dow* etc
[12:46] <White_Cat> I am trying to setup backup through rsnapshot. This is my file list in root I believe: http://pastebin.com/PYavr6G4
[12:46] <White_Cat> which of these should I not backup?
[12:48] <cool_boy> is it possible to copy output of a command ??
[12:48] <Quoexl> White_Cat: do you have anything installed in /srv /opt /var?
[12:48] <cool_boy> eg I want to copy output of pwd
[12:48] <massimo> hello
[12:48] <White_Cat> I am not sure. I just dont want to break linux with this
[12:48] <Quoexl> if you aint breakin it you aint using it
[12:49] <White_Cat> if its empty I dont mind backing it up as I may install stuff there later
[12:49] <White_Cat> I actually ideally want to backup everything except the backup directory which is the mount of a different drive
[12:49] <White_Cat> or I perhaps can define that differently
[12:49] <Quoexl> myself I make a seperate partition for / and /home so if I blow it up I just reinstall and dont format the home partition
[12:50] <White_Cat> I just need a little help with the config
[12:50] <Quoexl> and backup the home partition to another box with rsync
[12:50] <White_Cat> only have a box with 2 drives
[12:51] <White_Cat> for the past 3 days I have been suggested different options rsnapshot seems to be the better bet
[12:51] <White_Cat> I am badly struggling with something I am told is trivial
[12:51] <bee_keeper> Fuchs: Yep, no shell was set for that user. i think on some versions, login shell must default to /bin/bash, on others there is no default unless you explicitly set one
[12:52] <Fuchs> bee_keeper: odd. Glad to hear you got it resolved, though :)
[12:52] <bee_keeper> Thanks a lot!
[12:53] <biledemon> Hello. I shouldn't expect any problems running a "superclocked" gfx card on Ubuntu 14.04 right?
[12:54] <massimo> Hey I've got a question! Why make two partitions "/ and /home" when I can put all to one "/" ? (I'm new)
[12:55] <Quoexl> massimo: if you bork your installation you go back and reinstall and it gives you the option of NOT formatting your /home partition thus saving your data and giving you a fresh install
[12:55] <compdoc> massimo, you can limit the size of /home that way. I always use one large partition
[12:56] <DJones> massimo: You don't have to, the benefit is that if you have to reinstall, you can reinstall the operating system and just set /home to the 2nd partition without formatting and generally without losing data
[12:56] <Quoexl> ditto
[12:57] <massimo> O.o that's true! <Quoexl>,compdoc> and <DJones>!
[12:57] <massimo> Nice idea!
[12:58] <Quoexl> I started doing that when I was borking dapper daily
[12:58] <Quoexl> trying to install everything that said server at one time
[12:58] <White_Cat> does anyone know how to use rsnamshot?
[13:00] <White_Cat> ##rsnapshot has only one person besides the bot (me)
 When you sa bork you mean fork?
[13:00] <Quoexl> no break
[13:00] <Quoexl> broke break borked
[13:02] <massimo> broken?
[13:02] <Quoexl> White_Cat: if you check out the switches and make a cron job running diff rsync every hour or so works well
[13:02] <Quoexl> massimo: back then I was seeing just what it took to break linux, every day
[13:02] <Ragnarr|2> Cheers
[13:02] <Quoexl> so I put my /home in a different partition
[13:04] <Somaya> i couldn't install ubuntu 14.04  via usb
[13:04] <Somaya> can you people help me?
[13:05] <Drecondius> !Grub-2
[13:05] <Ragnarr|2> will help when im home
[13:05] <massimo> Month ago when I didn't use Ubuntu, I made disasters so I had to format all ubuntu's part! Formatting make me stressed but is funny! :D
[13:05] <Drecondius> What's the grub channel?
[13:05] <massimo> Somaya, use UNETBOOTIN
[13:06] <Somaya> massimo: what is that
[13:06] <Somaya> you mean when i start my computer i should configure it?
[13:07] <ObrienDave> Somaya, a utility to write ISO to a bootable USB stick
[13:07] <massimo> ObrienDave, nice frase!
[13:07] <Somaya> massimo: i used virtual clone drive
[13:09] <ObrienDave> Somaya, you can't copy ISO to USB or DVD, it must be written as an image to either
[13:09] <Somaya> obrienDave:tnx
[13:11] <kulhas> hi, I am using ubuntu server and fdisk tells me this: "Disk /dev/mapper/inalentejo--vg-root doesn't contain a valid partition table" I already made a boot forcing filesystem check, but I dont know what it did, but the problem was not solved, how can I fix this?
[13:11] <massimo> Soamaya, best method is towards USB (Unetbootin) or writing DVD
[13:11] <massimo> By3 By3!
[13:12] <tuurtyret> or use Win32DiskImager or Rufus
[13:12] <loctauxphilippe> Is Ubuntu 14.04.1 is here?
[13:12] <ObrienDave> Somaya, burning image to DVD is more reliable. a lot of people have success with unetbootin. i am not one of those people LOL
[13:13] <loctauxphilippe> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule
[13:13] <DJones> loctauxphilippe: Not yet
[13:13] <loctauxphilippe> Thanks!
[13:13] <ObrienDave> loctauxphilippe, no ISOs yet, try dist-upgrade
[13:13] <loctauxphilippe> I have nothing...
[13:13] <loctauxphilippe> I will try tomorow...
[13:14] <ObrienDave> loctauxphilippe, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:16] <ObrienDave> loctauxphilippe, in terminal, cat /etc/issue
[13:21] <roknrola> hello there..any news about 14.04.1 release?
[13:22] <compdoc> I just wait until the news happens
[13:22] <ObrienDave> no ISO yet, afaik
[13:22] <axp882> hello all, im trying to create a samba share and cant seem to access my files. in mac os x i go to the connect to server and type in smb://ipaddofserver but it wont authenticate. Ive already added another user and set the smb password.
[13:22] <axp882> any ideas?
[13:22] <ObrienDave> you can, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:23] <jeffreylevesque> anyone familiar with UNetbootin
[13:23] <axp882> it says you dont have permission to access this disk, even as a guest user, which is enabled
[13:23] <Quoexl> it must be samba thursday or something
[13:23] <roknrola> it's not released yet right?
[13:23] <ObrienDave> compdoc, i have 14.04.1 already
[13:24] <ObrienDave> got upgraded tuesday morning
[13:25] <hypnosb> how can i find out 'what provides' ?
[13:25] <skilz> Is there something like Reason, Cubase, Fruity Loops for Linux?
[13:25] <axp882> when i hit guest it shows me the volumes i can mount and theyre right but when i hit ok it displays a you do not have permission to access this server error
[13:25] <hypnosb> I need curl-config
[13:25] <hypnosb> skilz, hydrogen
[13:25] <skilz> Thanks, need to do some stuff for M83
[13:26] <hypnosb> np
[13:26] <hypnosb> http://www.hydrogen-music.org
[13:26] <skilz> It's just drum sequences?
[13:27] <aguitel_> ubuntu boot in uefi mode ?
[13:27] <jeffreylevesque> anyone familiar with UNetbootin?
[13:27] <axp882> anyone?
[13:27] <quent1> jeffreylevesque, yes
[13:27] <ObrienDave> jeffreylevesque, a bit, yes
[13:27] <skilz> hypnosb, I'm doing this type of project http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DWQ-sKXuauTY%26list%3DAL94UKMTqg-9BX0296yQejFd4H18rVNM4e&h=aAQEzqzNZ
[13:28] <jeffreylevesque> I created a bootable stick on my macbookPro.  Then on my HP laptop i tried to boot from it.  It recognizes the stick, but doesn't boot from it
[13:29] <ObrienDave> jeffreylevesque, does your BIOS allow it to boot?
[13:30] <DJones> hypnosb: Looks like that file is included in "libcurl4-gnutls-dev" in 14.04 (along with a couple of packages having it) http://askubuntu.com/questions/359267/cannot-find-curl-config-in-ubuntu-13-04
[13:30] <jeffreylevesque> ObrienDave, it glitches kind of.  It only has "Default" under the big blue dialog box titled "UNetbootin".  It says "Automatic boot in 10 seconds ..."  After 10s, it glitches than counts down again
[13:30] <DJones> hypnosb: libcurl4-gnutls-dev, libcurl4-nss-dev and libcurl4-openssl-dev
[13:31] <ObrienDave> jeffreylevesque, then you have a bad transfer to the USB, try again
[13:32] <ObrienDave> jeffreylevesque, i suggest burning ISO to DVD, more reliable for me
[13:33] <jeffreylevesque> ObrienDave, So, I can use UNetbootin from mac to make a bootable USB, to be used on a non-MAC machine (i.e. windows laptop)?
[13:34] <tuurtyret> if Unetbooting not working, Win32DiskImager works perfect, try it
[13:37] <ObrienDave> jeffreylevesque, that is the general idea, i can't guarantee it
[13:44] <jeffreylevesque> ObrienDave, this is what I have done - https://github.com/jeff1evesque/audio-analyzer/issues/351#issuecomment-50018538
[13:48] <ObrienDave> looks reasonable, i'm way too tired to follow all of the mac stuff ;))
[13:49] <Akuw> hi i want to run minecraft-pi but got  bash: ./minecraft-pi: no se puede ejecutar el fichero binario
[13:51] <star_prone> is there a chance to install xfce4-notes on ubuntu 14 using unity?
[13:51] <cfhowlett> star_prone sudo apt-get install xfce4-notes
[13:51] <star_prone> ain't working
[13:51] <star_prone> :((((
[13:52] <star_prone> tried three times
[13:52] <AaronCampbell> Ever since the update to Thunderbird 31 (which I just did yesterday), clicking "reply" on an E-Mail opens an message like normal except that the "To" field is empty instead of populated with the From or Reply-To E-Mail. Is anyone else having the same issue?
[13:52] <star_prone> it installed it but it doesn't work
[13:52] <White_Cat> anyone here familiar with rsnapshot config? :/
[13:52] <cfhowlett> star_prone it's designed for xfce  not for unity.  pretty sure unity has its own notes app
[13:53] <star_prone> indeed it's designed for xfce desktop, but it works for cinnamon in mint, which is not xfce
[13:53] <star_prone> I thought it might also work for ubuntu
[13:53] <cfhowlett> star_prone a happy accident.
[13:53] <star_prone> and yes, unity has it's own notes, but they're not very attractive :)
[13:54] <star_prone> and bu default it doesn't
[14:02] <webfox> Hey guys!
[14:03] <Akuw> hi i want to run minecraft-pi but got  bash: ./minecraft-pi: no se puede ejecutar el fichero binario
[14:03] <webfox> I have a VirtualBox Ubuntu VM which I forgot the username/password. Is there a way to figure that out?
[14:03] <webfox> Could someone help me please?
[14:04] <Akuw> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[14:04] <webfox> Akuw: cool, checking!
[14:06] <skilz> How can I make different channels play?
[14:07] <skilz> Like music through speakers adn skype through headphone
[14:07] <feydrm> Is .1 on time and going to release today?
[14:08] <cfhowlett> feydrm wait a few hours and see
[14:08] <feydrm> cfhowlett: ;)
[14:11] <ObrienDave> doesn't anyone realize they can get .1 with dist-upgrade?
[14:12] <apfelschorle> quit
[14:12] <DeafGoose_> Hi all! anybody here familiar with liblognorm? I need some help
[14:13] <cfhowlett> !info liblognorm
[14:13] <DeafGoose_> I have installed it, however Im having some difficulty finding out how to run it
[14:14] <Guest50644> hello can anyone diagnose this is bad or ok from this paste http://pastebin.com/r9BAi8VJ ?what is use of multicast address <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:19] <DeafGoose_> I installed liblognorm and when I try to run ./normalizer I get a no such file error
[14:23] <designbybeck> I have a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, I downloaded the .deb from Steam website and this is what I'm getting: http://www.pasteall.org/53037
[14:23] <designbybeck> Any ideas?
[14:24] <nightdemon666> Any one here have issues with ipod ejecting it self randomly on ubuntu 14.04?
[14:25] <Guest50644> hello can anyone diagnose this is bad or ok from this paste http://pastebin.com/r9BAi8VJ ?what is use of multicast address <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:30] <axp882> hey i just installed gnome from the software center but the activities overview and dock arnt showing :)
[14:30] <axp882> ** :(
[14:30] <axp882> any ideas?
[14:30] <nightdemon666> Guest50644 it does look like a lot of addresses on there, mostly the same address being your default gateway. The multicast address isnt a bad thing either, i think its the address used for communicating services the router performs. For example dhcp.
[14:30] <cfhowlett> axp882 logout, choose gnome session, login
[14:31] <axp882> i did that but still the dock isnt showing let me try again
[14:32] <Beldar> axp882, gnome-shell?
[14:33] <axp882> Beldar whats that?
[14:33] <axp882> im at the login i used gnome flashback
[14:33] <axp882> should i just login as gnome?
[14:34] <Beldar> axp882, The gnome 3 desktop, what is gnome to you?
[14:34] <axp882> Beldar im just looking for the launcher and activities overview
[14:34] <Beldar> axp882, Is this the ubuntu unity desktop you want?
[14:36] <axp882> Beldar what do you mean? im just trying to login and have the dock visible (like the gnome website shows)
[14:36] <Beldar> axp882, Link to that please.
[14:36] <cfhowlett> axp882 websitte?
[14:37] <axp882> http://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/window-selection-3.12.png
[14:37] <dexx> I'm brutally new to Linux, too, but I have a slight sense he might have accidentally hid the Activity bar?
[14:37] <jere> can someone explain this line: It locates the kernel source directory by taking advantage of the fact that the symbolic link build in the installed modules directory points back at the kernel build tree.? From this link:  http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-2-sect-4#?1#?1#WebrootPlugIn#?1#?1#PhreshPhish#?1#?1#agtpwd
[14:37] <Beldar> axp882, That is the gnome shell in ubuntu install it
[14:38] <dexx> you know, that thing, on the left by default with icons and stuff?
[14:39] <Beldar> dexx, Right click the desktop and navigate to its control, and address what may have hidden it like compiz tweaking.
[14:39] <axp882> omg im an idiot you were right log in again
[14:40] <axp882> the resolution was wrong and i changed it now vnc froze xD
[14:40] <freeone3000> Hi. Is there a way to upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS while keeping X11 installed?
[14:41] <Beldar> axp882, For the record every question I asked was totally relevant, but you did not understand, it helps if you know the names and terms of what your using. ;)
[14:41] <cfhowlett> freeone3000 sudo apt-get dist-upgradei
[14:41] <cfhowlett> freeone3000 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:41] <axp882> Beldar and thats why i installed linux in a vm, still learning. Thank you for being patient with me :)
[14:42] <sneakertack> cfhowlett: what's the probability that things go wrong during a distro upgrade like so?
[14:42] <AaronCampbell> Ever since the update to Thunderbird 31 (I just did it yesterday via the software updater from the standard repo), clicking "reply" on an E-Mail opens a message like normal except the From or Reply-to isn't filled into the To field
[14:42] <AaronCampbell> Has anyone else seen this?
[14:43] <freeone3000> cfhowlett: Alright. Everything was telling me to use the graphical update manager. I'll try that, and see if it breaks VirtualBox integration.
[14:43] <cfhowlett> sneakertack I can't assign a numerical probability.  I prefer to torrent the ISO, verify it, set it as a software source and upgrade from there
[14:54] <Kobbb> Hello. Do any of you know a file replication between machines software that does no copy the whole file, but diffs the binary file ? thank you
[14:55] <morpheus_gr> rsync does that Kobbb
[14:56] <jiohdi> btsync maybe
[14:56] <egon_> yesterday the update-notifier tells me to update apache2. Now ssl is broken. The ca certificate is not found
[14:57] <egon_> Does somebody know why the ca certificate is not found?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Kobbb: grsync for a GUI if you have a desktop :)
[15:03] <freeone3000> egon_: Did you (or the package installer) chance ca-certificates?
[15:04] <egon_> no
[15:06] <egon_> it was the normal synaptic update
[15:10] <Lunarial> Hi. There's a .encryptfs folder in my recently installed Ubuntu 14.04. It consumes most of my Ubuntu partition space. Can I delete it? I don't know why it's there.
[15:11] <SchrodingersScat> Lunarial: did you select encrypting your home on install?
[15:11] <cfhowlett> !encryption |Lunarial
[15:12] <Lunarial> I am not sure, honestly (as I installed four different distros on three different computers in the past two weeks). Is there a way to check whether I did?
[15:13] <axp882> hey im accessing a gnome VM from vnc but the resolution is too messed up. I cant change it because i cant hit the apply button. What should i do?
[15:14] <axp882> nevermind got it
[15:15] <teaearlgraycold> Is 14.04.1 out?
[15:15] <Symmetria> no
[15:15] <Pici> teaearlgraycold: Not yet, although some of the files are entering the staging process.
[15:15] <cfhowlett> teaearlgraycold sometime today = patience
[15:15] <teaearlgraycold> Okay great
[15:15] <teaearlgraycold> It's going on my server+laptop
[15:16] <ubuntu___> i'm trying to install i3-wm on ubuntu,  http://i3wm.org/docs/repositories.html followed this instructions to install it but i get errors
[15:16] <ubuntu___> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[15:16] <teaearlgraycold> I just randomly remembered that it should have been out sometime in July and then checked the milesone page. Chuckled when I saw this: http://i.imgur.com/YtbacFj.png
[15:16] <ubuntu___> i3 : Depends: i3-wm (= 4.8-1trusty1) but it is not going to be installed
[15:17] <ubuntu___>  Recommends: i3lock (>= 2.2) but it is not going to be installe
[15:17] <ubuntu___> Recommends: i3status (>= 2.3) but it is not going to be installed
[15:17] <ubuntu___> what should i do
[15:18] <iptable> ubuntu___, apt-get install i3 i3-wm i3lock i3status
[15:19] <egon_> After updating apache (ubuntu12.04) the client browser says it cannot download the certificate
[15:19] <teaearlgraycold> egon_, is the certificate file in the right place? Sometime that changes
[15:20] <egon_> what is the right place?
[15:20] <Lunarial> Is there a way to check whether home folder encryption is enabled?
[15:20] <Jaani> i want to search thru a directory for a string (the directory contains 500gb of file). is there a faster way to search for the string other than using grep?
[15:21] <teaearlgraycold> Honestly I don't know. I just remeber when I installed my certificate that I found like 3 different places to install it when googling around.
[15:21] <teaearlgraycold> If it's a personal machine you could just build a new certificate
[15:22] <egon_> teaearlgraycold: i think /etc/ssl/certs
[15:24] <tonygg> i pxe the machines in my cluster off of one cluster. all the machines are identical hw. currently i'm using 13.04 and want to upgrade to 14.04. the first thing i'm trying to do is update the nodes' initramfs and kernel. however when i upgrade from 3.8.0-19-generic to 3.13.0-32-generic i get a kernel panic related to eth0 device not existing. any ideas?
[15:24] <tonygg> i updated the way i always have; unpacking the image verifies the new img has the same conf as the old, working img. and all eth modules are there.

[15:25] <clevas> Is there a way to install the latest ubuntu on a machine with no uefi along side windows 8.1?
[15:26] <Symmetria> Im curious to see if I see an increase on our mirror when 14.04.1 comes out
[15:26] <daftykins> clevas: you'd have to keep using the boot menu to manually boot each OS if you mix the types
[15:27] <clevas> I dont even have a boot menu
[15:27] <clevas> lol
[15:27] <daftykins> clevas: you might do and not know it, what kind of computer?
[15:27] <clevas> older dell dimension 5150
[15:28] <eeee> clevas: you can install ubuntu in legacy mode
[15:29] <clevas> legacy mode eh
[15:31] <daftykins> clevas: in that case Dells boot menu is F12 on startup typically
[15:32] <daftykins> eeee: but going mixed will mean hassle on every boot
[15:32] <daftykins> clevas: out of interest what's putting you off doing an EFI install?
[15:32] <clevas> I see what you're saying...my computer dont use efi
[15:32] <eeee> daftykins: i assumed his question was that it's an older laptop with no uefi but with win8 installed nevertheless... and he wants to know if dual booting is possible
[15:32] <eeee> am i wrong?
[15:32] <daftykins> oh, but you said windows 8
[15:32] <smarlie> Ubuntu 12.04 Update Manager offered hardware enablement stack update yesterday. It completed without any errors. On reboot the computer gets as far as the desktop then freezes and 'distorts'. Started following last answer from Dogsbody http://askubuntu.com/questions/493541/hardware-enablement-stack-hwe-out-of-support. Booted into recovery mode and did sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-precise followed by hwe-support-status --verbose, which returns 'HW
[15:32] <smarlie> E is supported until April 2017'. After rebooting, the computer now seems to be 'fine' . Installing xserver-xorg-lts-precise also removed 45 packages including xserver-xorg-lts-trusty and ubuntu-desktop. Should I leave this alone as it seems to be working normally (did a 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' which returned nothing to upgrade or install) or does xserver-xorg-lts-trusty need to be installed?
[15:33] <clevas> i said windows 8
[15:33] <daftykins> eeee + clevas aaaah, ok sorry - i first read 'with uefi' not 'with no uefi'
[15:33] <clevas> So i do legacy then?
[15:33] <daftykins> in that case yep a standard legacy install beside windows 8 is easily done
[15:33] <clevas> would i still have to f12 it every time
[15:33] <daftykins> you could've booted media and installed by now ;)
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> smarlie: tried the Unity2D session?
[15:33] <daftykins> nope, that was part of my mistake
[15:34] <egon_> quit
[15:34] <clevas> Im watching a video on how to legacy install it
[15:34] <clevas> fairly new to linux here
[15:35] <biledemon> Hello. I shouldn't expect any problems running a "superclocked" gfx card on Ubuntu 14.04 right?
[15:35] <daftykins> biledemon: factory overclocked graphics card? that could be awkward actually
[15:35] <multihunter> hi
[15:36] <biledemon> daftykins, how so?
[15:36] <biledemon> daftykins, and yes, I mean a factory overclocked
[15:36] <daftykins> biledemon: depends on the type and whether or not you'll install the proprietary graphics driver to use it for gaming etc
[15:37] <multihunter> I'm trying to use winscp to login as admin then change session to root. I changed sftp serer to "sudo su -c /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server" When I have this line in visudo everything works fine: admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[15:37] <biledemon> daftykins, It's a Nvidia Gtx 780 and yes I will install the proprietary driver
[15:37] <kurfeld> Hi. How can I remove ftp connections from Nautilus? They are listed under "last used" but I can't do anything with them (just connecting).
[15:37] <multihunter> but I want to limit that NOPASSWD so I tried using admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
[15:37] <multihunter> but winscp cant connect when I limit sudo for admin
[15:37] <multihunter> whats the problem?
[15:38] <smarlie> the computer is set to log in automatically. if coming from rescue mode the desktop is OK.
[15:38] <daftykins> biledemon: ok, well be sure to stick to supported ones... downloading from the nvidia site wouldn't be the recommended approach
[15:41] <biledemon> daftykins, Yes, I know. I'm just wondering if there's anything "special" with factory overclocked cards? like they use the same drivers and stuff?
[15:41] <jiffe98> is 12.10 not supported anymore?
[15:42] <smarlie> should i install the xserver-xorg-lts-trusty and try Unity2D? or try Unity2D with the desktop that is working now with xserver-xorg-lts-precise?
[15:42] <daftykins> biledemon: the overclocked settings are set in firmware on the card, so no
[15:42] <daftykins> biledemon: btw i'd recommend never to buy a factory overclocked card again, it'll die early... mark my words.
[15:45] <xangua> jiffe98: it hasn't for a year
[15:45] <xangua> !12.10
[15:45] <biledemon> daftykins, and how early is that? I'll probably want to update again in 5 years or so
[15:46] <daftykins> biledemon: do you have any idea how rich i would be if i could predict hardware failure?
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> multihunter  is that a server? if yes and you don't get an answer here, try #ubuntu-server
[15:47] <multihunter> yes its a server
[15:47] <dexx> congrats to me, I already had to use Alt+PrtSc+ R E I S U B :D
[15:47] <biledemon> daftykins, I've heard a overcloked card may last around 8 years instead of 10
[15:47] <dexx> dear lads, is there a common name for that command?
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> dexx  simply reisub, i guess
[15:48] <smarlie> ActionParsnip don't think so, automatic login is set up. should i install the xserver-xorg-lts-trusty and try Unity2D? or try Unity2D with the desktop that is working now with xserver-xorg-lts-precise?
[15:49] <Lunarial> Is there a way to check whether home folder encryption is enabled?
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> smarlie: just log off, then change session to Ubuntu 2D, then log in
[15:49] <oscar_> !12.04
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> dexx: I use:   killall -u $USER    in TTY1 personaly, same efect
[15:50] <clevas> i never caught how the legacy install was different from efi install
[15:51]  * fsdfs on
[15:51] <dexx> thank you ActionParsnip, however, in my case I didn't get to see anything except "oh, my desktop froze..."
[15:51] <daftykins> clevas: that's kinda beyond the scope of support really
[15:51] <daftykins> clevas: plenty of information online to educate you between the differences and the purpose as to why it exists
[15:52] <dexx> I might have to point out it's my first day using Ubuntu, I (unsuccessfully?) tried Kubuntu before
[15:53] <clevas> I know why it exists i just didnt catch in the video on how to choose legacy instead of eufi
[15:53] <acovrig> Is there any way to lock a user into a graphical program (like a kiosk)?
[15:54] <smarlie> ActionParsnip the computer is my mum's and I'm helping her via phone (nightmare) Great idea, I'll try Unity2D. thanks very much.
[15:54] <eeee> clevas: if your bios is setup to boot in legacy mode, the installation will run in legacy mode automatically, check here:
[15:54] <eeee> !uefi | clevas
[15:54] <btcxtrader> #bitcoin-otc-ru
[15:55] <mheinke> dumb .sh question. i cant remember how to check whether a warning exists.
[15:55] <clevas> ubottu i dont want it on uefi machines i need it on a legacy maching
[15:55] <clevas> machine
[15:55] <clevas> oh haha
[15:55] <switchtehbeat> Lol
[15:55] <eeee> clevas: there is information in that link concerning legacy as well
[15:55] <th3_mol3> anyone fixed the youtube flickering problem?
[15:55] <th3_mol3> http://alicious.com/flickering-flash-video-youtube/
[15:56] <th3_mol3> this didn't work for me
[15:56] <dexx> does any one of you use Autodesk Maya by any chance?
[15:57] <Symmetria> can anyone tell me if http://logs.mirror.liquidtelecom.com displays correct under browsers in ubuntu (or if it whines about needing more vlc plugins or something)
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> th3_mol3: I use CHrome, never had a flickering flash issue
[15:58] <th3_mol3> might switch to Chrome
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> Symmetria  it doesnt whine, it simply asks to activate vlc, then it show some pong game or so
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> it shows*
[16:03] <mmorey> does anyone know how to disable plymouth?
[16:03] <Symmetria> monkey heh thats not a pong game :) thats a web server log visualisation
[16:03] <Symmetria> in real time
[16:03] <Symmetria> heh, what you're seeing there is a visualisation of a tail -f of an apache log
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> Symmetria  great, all you have to do is activate the vlc plugin
[16:03] <Symmetria> monkey ok, still gonna try make an html5 version though :)
[16:03] <Symmetria> thanks though
[16:07] <Jaxinx> hi everyone, I have got a simple question, what is the difference between logical and primary partitions?
[16:07] <Jaxinx> Which one is better for holding data?
[16:08] <freeone3000> Jaxinx: For legacy partition (non-GPT) headers, you're limited to four primary partitions. Because. One of those primary partitions could, instead, be a set of logical partitions.
[16:08] <daftykins> there's no difference to data integrity, it's just that in the old msdos style, primary partitions are bootable and logical aren't
[16:09] <Jaxinx> So, when it comes to data integrity and also recovery for later, there is NO difference between the too, you are saying?
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> Jaxinx  you can make up to 4 primary partitions, but inside logical partitions, the number is much higher
[16:09] <freeone3000> Jaxinx: None.
[16:09] <daftykins> two, no
[16:09] <Jaxinx> I mean which one is more prone to damage?
[16:09] <freeone3000> Jaxinx: Neither.
[16:10] <Jaxinx> OK, thanks alot folks.
[16:10] <freeone3000> Jaxinx: The entire distinction is an artifact of a bygone age.
[16:10] <daftykins> Jaxinx: they're on one disk, that disk is susceptible to failure, not partitions
[16:10] <Jaxinx> daftykins: GOTCHA
[16:10] <TBotNik_> All: using the "locate -i content-" cmd and want to eliminate certain dirs, such as "/usr". Think regex does this but not good at regex.
[16:11] <freeone3000> Symmetria: application/x-vlc-plugin isntead of a proper <video> element? For shame.
[16:11] <TBotNik_> All: Repeating: Using the "locate -i content-" cmd and want to eliminate certain dirs, such as "/usr". Think regex does this but not good at regex. How do I tell locate to skip those dirs?
[16:12] <eeee> !patience | TBotNik_
[16:13] <TBotNik_> eeee: Sorry did not mean to "enter" the first time was not done!
[16:14] <Sevet> TBotNik_: locate -i content- | grep -v ^usr/
[16:15] <Symmetria> freeone heh
[16:15] <Symmetria> the video element was a problem
[16:15] <Symmetria> I couldnt make it work with mpeg4
[16:15] <Symmetria> and since I cant avconv to theo
[16:15] <Symmetria> I'm having to dual transcode
[16:15] <Symmetria> http://logs.mirror.liquidtelecom.com/index2.html
[16:15] <Symmetria> that one is html5 now :)
[16:15] <daftykins> Symmetria: please press enter less
[16:15] <Symmetria> just made it work
[16:17] <eeee> TBotNik_: if you want to delete stuff you can use find / -type d -name <dir name> | xargs rm
[16:17] <eeee> TBotNik_: use echo first to make sure it finds the directories you want to delete... it's a little dangerous
[16:18] <eeee> sorry, "rm -r" not "rm"
[16:21] <lucas_21> Hi everyone! I need a little bit help. I have modprobe kmod version 15 and... It doesn't have the option -l. What's the way to list all the modules of the kernel? thanks in advance.
[16:21] <TBotNik_> Sevet: locate -i content- | grep -v ^/usr  works!  Now the other dirs are from the multiple WordPress installs, one for each client site, that I have on my machine, over 100 of these, and will be */wp-content/* in the middle of a dir string.  What is right syntax for that?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> lucas_21: sudo updatedb; locate *.ko | grep `uname -r`              may do it
[16:22] <eeee> TBotNik_: sorry my command is wrong, it needs a -exec, nevermind
[16:23] <TBotNik_> I'm searching for a bunch of content files I downloaded that I got lost to me, but know they are somewhere on this 1.5TB drive!
[16:24] <TBotNik_> eeee: They all start with "content-", but can not find them in folders I thought they were in!
[16:25] <jyg> Is there anyway to point an old 10.10 to get updates?
[16:25] <TBotNik_> eeee: Supposed to be out on my Dropbox drive, but not finding them there!
[16:25] <jyg> i've tried the old-releases change to sources.list and it gets me nothing
[16:25] <Rohan_m> I have two users "hum" and "raj" and a file "log.txt" in "raj's home directory" i want to access "log.txt" from user "hum" without changing permissions of file "log.txt"
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> jyg: no, Maverick is EOL
[16:25] <jyg> yeah, that's painfully obvious :)
[16:25] <Sevet> TBotNik_: grep -v /wp-content/ ... you can pipe through grep multiple times or merge them into grep -Ev "(^/usr/|/wp-content/)"
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> jyg: I suggest a clean install of Trusty which is LTS and supported til April 2019
[16:26] <Sevet> probably can do it in a locate pattern too, but using grep is easy :)
[16:26] <jyg> ActionParsnip, thanks, I wish i could.
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> jyg: the you will get no updates and no community support
[16:26] <Sevet> as for content- files, you could try find /path/to/seach/under -name 'content*'
[16:26] <jyg> ActionParsnip, i'm working on a clients old machine and something needs to be updated
[16:27] <jyg> can't just revamp the entire thing, not the budget currently in place either
[16:27] <Rohan_m> I have two users "hum" and "raj" and a file "log.txt" in "raj's home directory" i want to access "log.txt" from user "hum" without changing permissions of file "log.txt"
[16:27] <jyg> crap. this could kill the whole deal
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> jyg: there arent any packages, its like trying to get windows updates for Windows 98, they dont exist
[16:27] <jyg> eventually he'll have to spend the money
[16:27] <jyg> ActionParsnip, beats me wh they don't just leave it available w/o support
[16:28] <lucas_21> ActionParsnip, Thanks, all ok.
[16:28] <MonkeyDust> jyg  because most wouldnt understand why it's still available, if it's not supported, and thay'd want support
[16:28] <MonkeyDust> most people*
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> jyg: because after time there will be lots of old releases taking up lots of space, just for a small handful of users who wont upgrade
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> jyg: the feasibility is ridiculous
[16:29] <TBotNik_> eeee: OK using => locate -i content- | grep -Ev "(^/usr/|/wp-content/|/X11/)" and much much better! Going to send to .txt file and edit to find what I want.  Still over 500 lines of output!
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> jyg: this is why LTS releases exist
[16:29] <jyg> ActionParsnip, well not to beat it into the ground, but it makes more sense to me to confuse the few new comers who somehow install an EOL version rather than choke to death the old timers who know what they've gotten into
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> jyg: you can upgrade from LTS to LTS and miss the releases between, making upgrades easier
[16:30] <jyg> ActionParsnip, this is exactly why I've moved my customers away from ubuntu
[16:30] <Pencil_> hello
[16:30] <jyg> anyhow, sorry didnt want to get into an argumetn about it
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> jyg: if you want a rolling release, try Debian
[16:30] <MonkeyDust> jyg  and if old versions remain available, nobody would want or need to upgrade
[16:30] <jyg> ActionParsnip,  so in trying to upgrade one thing, aptitude inadvertantly uninstalled chrome. no idea how I'm going to get it back.  any ideas ?
[16:31] <jyg> MonkeyDust, why force people to upgrade?
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> jyg: grab the deb, install the deb
[16:31] <Brofist> any @ around?
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> jyg: its not a force at all, you cna use Maverick for a milion years if you want
[16:31] <jyg> MonkeyDust, i stopped using ubuntu on my desktop because multi-head display is broken and it still isn't fixed. so i stayed iwth my old version. when i couldn't update anything, and multi-head still wasn't fixued, i dumped ubuntu
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> jyg: you just wont get updates or support
[16:31] <eeee> TBotNik_: Sevet is the one helping you out not me :)
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> jyg: there is no force at all
[16:31] <Brofist> there is this person.. in pm harassing me.. is there any @ here can do about this things? http://i.imgur.com/aD6CDfB.jpg
[16:31] <jyg> ok like i said, i'm not here to argue about it
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> jyg: Im just stating the facts
[16:32] <eeee> TBotNik_: i'll be glad to help don't get me wrong, i'm still trying to see why find -exec isn't working :D
[16:32] <jyg> since aptitude uninstalled chrome, even though it wont install anything, is there a way to get it back?
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> [17:30] <ActionParsnip> jyg: grab the deb, install the deb
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> jyg  and an enterprise cannot simply change its policy for the needs of a few individuals
[16:32] <jyg> dont understand why it did all this prep in uninstalling when aptitude wasn't sure it could complete the process prolperly
[16:33] <jyg> thanks MonkeyDust, and as to my question?
[16:34] <Pencil_> Suddenly this morning I'm getting "Internal error" .
[16:34] <Pencil_> Reboot no help
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> Pencil_  when you did what, exactly?
[16:34] <eeee> TBotNik_: maybe there's more info you can pin down in the search? like creation time or size less than something ?
[16:35] <jyg> ok so, just arguments. thanks a ton.
[16:35] <Pencil_> I just did update yesterday so I'm sure that's the problem.  Running 12.04.
[16:36] <ne0_> Hi,
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> Pencil_  ok, what were you doing, when the error appeared?
[16:36] <Pencil_> The error appears when I start ubuntu.  But I tried going to the web and yahoo, it works.
[16:38] <Pencil_> I don't know how to reinstall without partitioning.
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> Pencil_  why do you want to reinstall ubuntu?
[16:39] <Pencil_> Because I think something is corrupt.
[16:39] <MonkeyDust> Pencil_  first try to find out what's wrong, then repair that
[16:40] <Pencil_> I'm a user.  Don't know how to do the necessary surgery.
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> Pencil_  is it a apparmor error?
[16:42] <Pencil_> I don't recall seeing anything like that.   Is there an error log ?
[16:43] <MonkeyDust> !dmesg | Pencil_ there's this
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> Pencil_  but can you work? if yes, simply ignore the error at startup
[16:44] <boriseto> Will there be a lot of problems if both 12.04 and 14.04 use the same home folder?
[16:45] <booj> can anyone say when 14.04.1 will be released?
[16:45] <Pencil_> dmesg show a lot of stuff.
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> boriseto  /home contains config files and they may be different for different releases
[16:46] <Pici> booj: sometime today
[16:46] <OssumPawesome> so my ubuntu web server says it has a bunch of updates every time i ssh to it, and if i sudo apt-get update it installs a bunch of stuff.  However, it will still say it has the same number of updates ready afterwards.  What's the deal with that?
[16:46] <lala304> hi everybody, any recommendations regarding a WLAN USB STICK which works out of the box with ubuntu 14.04? the wiki entry regarding "wlan cards" is a bit outdated :(
[16:46] <boriseto> MonkeyDust, thanks, as I suspected. And do you know if there is a way to use different small partition only for conf files or something?
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> boriseto  no, don't know if that's possible, i'm no help for that
[16:47] <boriseto> MonkeyDust, thank you for clearing that.
[16:48] <basketball> E: Unable to locate package grive-tools
[16:48] <Pencil_> Thank you MonkeyDust.   I'm going to log out and login back in so I can get a better look at the error.l
[16:49] <TBotNik_> eeee: Final cmd is => locate -i content- | grep -Ev "(^/usr/|/wp-content/|/X11/|/.Trash-1000/|/backups/|/Marketing/|/In-Active/|/EBM/|/C-Wines/|/FindPregnancy/|/Installer Packages/|/ndavis/|-openjdk/|/TBird-Exports/|/installer_unpacks/)" > /home/files/cont-files-list.txt

[16:50] <TBotNik_> eeee: Thanks got it now.  Lots of work today!  Cheers! Bye!
[16:50] <eeee> TBotNik_: cool, i've been trying to get find to delete the files, finally works after some googling find / -type d -name <directoryname> -exec rm -r {} +
[16:50] <eeee> somewhat of a seek and destroy command
[16:53] <basketball> E: Unable to locate package grive-tools
[16:54] <daftykins> basketball: that's a lovely error you keep pasting, does it come with an explanation in question form?
[17:04] <Alexander_T> sup guys, i installed the gnome-desktop on my ubuntu 14.04 installation and it worked, but now the windows in the gnome 3 desktop environment look like the ones from ubuntu and some are actually missing some borders. anyone know why this happend and how to fix it?
[17:05] <nwilson5> #postgresql
[17:05] <nwilson5> oops
[17:05] <nwilson5> sorry
[17:05] <freeone3000> Alexander_T: Gnome theming. Check gtk-theme-name in ~/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[17:05] <basketball> daftykins,  when i try to install grive after adding the repo that is what i get
[17:06] <daftykins> basketball: right, we need full output including commands run, we're not mind readers
[17:06] <Alexander_T> freenode3000, can i check that via gnome tweak tool or do i have to do it manually?
[17:06] <Pencil_> My mystery internal error went away after some reboots.  Now I want to upgrade but it says failed to fetch.  Possible network connection problem but I 'm able to go to yahoo etc.
[17:07] <basketball> daftykins, sudo apt-add-repository ppa:thefanclub/grive-tools sudo apt-get update    sudo apt-get install -y grive-tools

[17:07] <Pencil_> Want to move up 12.10
[17:08] <daftykins> Pencil_: it's EOL, why?
[17:08] <basketball> daftykins,  so you cant help
[17:08] <daftykins> basketball: correct
[17:08] <Pencil_> Want to get up to supported versions
[17:08] <basketball> :(
[17:08] <Alexander_T> freenode3000, ah i got it! i changed the theme via the preinstalled gnome tweak tool. thanks!
[17:08] <daftykins> Pencil_: 12.04 is LTS, it's still supported :) 12.10, 13.04 and 13.10 are also EOL (unsupported)
[17:09] <Alexander_T> freenode3000, what i'd like to know is why this happend. is it a bug?
[17:09] <thephreak> checkin in, I'm trying to do-release-upgrade on a system running 12.04. and getting an error "WARNING:root:file 'quantal.tar.gz.gpg' missing". IS there any way to update at this point?
[17:09] <Pici> Pencil_: by later today (once the update is released) you will be able to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 (if that is what you want to do)
[17:09] <DJones> basketball: Your best bet is to contact the ppa maintainer and ask them why you're getting the error, it may be they haven't released it for the version of Ubuntu you use
[17:10] <Pici> thephreak: 14.04.1 has not yet been released. Wait a few hours.
[17:10] <Pencil_> Sorry, I thought I needed to install the latest.  wanted to step up
[17:10] <thephreak> ah okay, so its today then hopefully?
[17:10] <Pici> thephreak: yep.
[17:10] <thephreak> fantastic! thanks
[17:11] <basketball> DJones, what does -y do when installing something in terminal
[17:12] <daftykins> basketball: auto agree, no prompt for yes
[17:12] <DestinyAwaits> is there a way to delete word by word on the terminal? Rather then deleting it character by character
[17:12] <DestinyAwaits> ??
[17:13] <eeee> DestinyAwaits: hold alt + backspace
[17:13] <clevas> When i go to install ubuntu along side windows 8 i get the picture of the little man at startup so this should mean that its booting in legacy mode. It still corrupts my mbr though!
[17:14] <daftykins> clevas: that's just booting a live session, it won't be touching the disk at this point.
[17:14] <daftykins> clevas: what makes you think it's touched the MBR?
[17:15] <clevas> because i always get grub error at startup then i have to repair my win8 mbr with rescue disk
[17:15] <DestinyAwaits> eeee: it worked and what if I start from start of the line?? Instead of a backspace.. I tried delete isn't working
[17:15] <DestinyAwaits> :(
[17:15] <basketball> daftykins,  will google drive come to ubuntu sone
[17:15] <basketball> soon
[17:15] <daftykins> clevas: so did you install? did you boot into the live session?
[17:15] <clevas> yes
[17:15] <clevas> yes and yes
[17:15] <daftykins> clevas: to which? there were two questions
[17:15] <daftykins> right
[17:16] <Pencil_> DestinyAwaits are you in an editor or command line?
[17:16] <daftykins> basketball: i am not qualified to answer that question, Google are a third party, what they release for Linux is irrelevant to this channel
[17:16] <clevas> I dont know what else to try
[17:16] <dexx> ladies and gentlemen, do you use Skype on Ubuntu?
[17:16] <DestinyAwaits> COMMAND LINE
[17:16] <DestinyAwaits> Pencil_:
[17:16] <DestinyAwaits> Command line
[17:17] <clevas> Im starting to think its not possible with my setup
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> dexx  what if we do?
[17:17] <Pencil_> DestinyAwaits can you left arrow or 'h' to before the wored and dw it out ?
[17:18] <Pencil_> word
[17:18] <Rohan_m> my www-data is unable to create directories
[17:18] <dexx> I'm not entirely sure whether it performs as it should on my instalation.. e.g. "file transfers" list simply didn't want to clear after my "Clear List" click
[17:19] <DestinyAwaits> Pencil_: Its not working on the terminal.. :(
[17:19] <Rohan_m> my www-data is unable to create directories
[17:19] <daftykins> Rohan_m: so you said the first time, but both times your question lacks detail
[17:20] <dexx> hm, okay, I had to "decline all" in order to clear the list, nevermind...
[17:20] <eightygrit> Rohan_m: Is it a umask issue?
[17:20] <Pencil_> DestinyAwaits - are you able to move to the left with an h or a left arrow on the cmd line?
[17:20] <Rohan_m> daftykins: i logged in as www-data via ssh so i was by default in my home directory that is www i thought of making directory there and it says permission denied
[17:21] <eightygrit> Rohan_m: Check permissions on the parent directory.
[17:21] <DestinyAwaits> Pencil_: nope
[17:21] <Rohan_m> eightygrit:drwxr-xr-x  4 root root   4096 Jul 24 13:13 www
[17:22] <eeee> DestinyAwaits: you can use ESC+F to get to the end of the word
[17:22] <dexx> now let me see if my Ubuntu crashes every time I put it to sleep ;)
[17:22] <daftykins> Rohan_m: so yu created a password for www-data? that's really really bad practice
[17:22] <daftykins> Rohan_m: which version is this?
[17:23] <DestinyAwaits> eeee: not working
[17:23] <Rohan_m> daftykins: yeah i did ! version of whta ?
[17:23] <Pencil_> there may be a set -o necessary.
[17:23] <daftykins> Rohan_m: ubuntu...
[17:23] <Rohan_m> daftykins: 13.10
[17:23] <eeee> DestinyAwaits: i meant ESC+F to get to the end of a word, then alt+backspace to delete it all
[17:23] <daftykins> Rohan_m: that's EOL.
[17:24] <Rohan_m> daftykins: sory 14.10
[17:24] <axp882> hey all was just wondering how to enable a samba server to work with os x. I think i have a problem with it. every time i try to right-click and select shar it gives me a "net usershare" returned error 255
[17:24] <daftykins> 14.10 is alpha

[17:25] <nikin> hi. I experience a problem. Have an installed base of ubuntu machines. And whenever power is cut while booting the next boot the system stops at the GRUB menu screen. problem is that there is no keyboard on the systems only a touchscreen so they can not advance in souch case.. is there a way to disable this?
[17:26] <nikin> running 12.04
[17:26] <Guest92467> allllright, dear folks, it does, so as it happens I have a question:
[17:26] <MonkeyDust> nikin  disable what?
[17:26] <nikin> MonkeyDust: i guess this is a security feature.. so on system failure the menu shows every time
[17:27] <clevas> maybe i have to install the 32bit to be able to dual boot with windows 8
[17:27] <dexx> I have a sense only my Unity crashes after waking my computer up, is there a way to access terminal or "task manager"?
[17:27] <nikin> So i want grub to allways continue nomather what.
[17:27] <MagicSpud> hey I would like to upgrade my ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS but I cant see it available at automatic updates...any clue?
[17:27] <MonkeyDust> nikin  you can set the time out to 0
[17:28] <nikin> MonkeyDust: i did that. but that only works on normal boot. I mean it has no timeout when power is cut. it does not continue at all.
[17:28] <jeffreylevesque> can I format a usb to ntfs in ubuntu?
[17:28] <eeee> jeffreylevesque: yes, mk.ntfs
[17:29] <jeffreylevesque> thank you
[17:29] <eeee> be sure to use -Q option for a quick format

[17:33] <abaday> Hi, I received a kickstartfile from someone. Can anyone tell me what this will do? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7848718/
[17:33] <Pencil_> DestinyAwaits - did you find your problem?  Are you in a default BASH terminal ?
[17:33] <nikin> MonkeyDust: several sources say to modify grub.cfg in a way. But thats quite hackish and an update-grub will just erase the solution
[17:33] <eeee> jeffreylevesque: i don't know if this would work, but you can make a file that represents the raw disk if it's a hdd, i dont know if it'll work for a usb too, check it out http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk
[17:34] <OerHeks> abaday, ask that'someone' how this script is making a LVM with ext4 partitions
[17:34] <nikin> MonkeyDust: never mind... found it :) GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=$GRUB_TIMEOUT
[17:35] <abaday> OerHeks: is this a kickstart or preseed skript?
[17:35] <eeee> jeffreylevesque: maybe you could add the usb as a shared folder ? i'm testing it right now..
[17:35] <OerHeks> abaday, you say kickstart
[17:35] <abaday> OerHeks: ok
[17:36] <abaday> OerHeks: I need to change it so /boot gets its own partition at the beginning of the harddisk
[17:37] <MonkeyDust> nikin  that's how good this channel is :)
[17:38] <OerHeks> abaday, can't help you there, ask the channel
[17:42] <abaday> mr channel, I need help with formatting a 8TB harddrive so that /boot is on its own partition at the beginning of the harddrive (sda1), and / on sda2. I have this kickstart script http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7848718/ but it doesnt have the /boot on its own partition. Can someone help me?
[17:42] <abaday> i want to use the same script but put in that /boot is on the beginning and on its own
[17:44] <jeffreylevesque> is there a command I can use to see if my usb is connected?

[17:45] <mojtaba> Hi, Do you know how can I have more than one shell interpreter in a script?
[17:46] <clevas> So no one here successfully installed win 8.1 along side ubuntu in legacy mode
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> mojtaba  better ask in #bash, i guess
[17:46] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: Thanks
[17:47] <thephreak> mojtaba, you could call the other interpreter as a command in a bash script maybe?
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> clevas  no one here installs win
[17:47] <daftykins> clevas: i just don't know where to start in assisting. did you buy 8 at retail to install on there, or what?
[17:47]  * OerHeks knows 8 Tb hdd are just announced, not available yet
[17:47] <MonkeyDust> 8TB? drool
[17:47] <clevas> 8 was installed first
[17:47] <clevas> Now trying to put ubuntu
[17:47] <clevas> corruption every time
[17:48] <Symmetria> heh 6TB disks are available but they still cost more money than sense
[17:48] <Symmetria> so I dont wanna know what 8TB disks are gonna cost
[17:48] <Symmetria> at the moment I run 36 x 4TB
[17:50] <daftykins> Symmetria: this is not the place for off topic chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:50] <daftykins> clevas: right but did you buy 8?
[17:50] <abaday> OerHeks: my 8tb is 4x 4TB hdds with RAID 10
[17:50] <clevas> yes i did
[17:51] <daftykins> clevas: well, setup of 14.04 should've offered to write GRUB to /dev/sda and it should just work really.
[17:52] <Rohan_m> daftykins: Solved thanks a lot fella for your time
[17:52] <lolipopp> basichash: damn you're sexy
[17:52] <clevas> You use a lot of "shoulds" in your sentence
[17:53] <daftykins> clevas: would you prefer 'might' ?
[17:53] <abaday> I need help with a kickstart script for ubuntu 14.04. I need to alter this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7848718/ to squeeze in a /boot partition at the beginning of the disk of 256 MB EXT2. please!
[17:53] <clevas> The thing is i now know that should and might mean wont
[17:54] <daftykins> clevas: well they don't, but since you're taking this attitude i'm no longer going to assist, sorry. you're on your own.
[17:55] <linux888> hey there
[17:55] <linux888> which torrent client do you guys think is the best?
[17:55] <clevas> You're accepting defeat then because we just prooved it doesnt work
[17:55] <Rohan_m> GNOME > KDE
[17:55] <linux888> for ubuntu?
[17:55] <daftykins> clevas: no because i don't like your attitude. goodbye.
[17:55] <Rohan_m> for everything
[17:56] <xangua> linux888: you can try and use what you like the most
[17:56] <Rohan_m> GNOME > KDE in every aspect just cause nokia owns Qt this does'nt make Qt better than Gtk
[17:57] <linux888> k bye
[17:57] <ikonia> Rohan_m: what is your actual question ?
[17:58] <Rohan_m> ikonia: oh my question is solved i was just tryin to put up discussion on GNOME vs KDE what do you say ?
[17:58] <lolipopp> basichash: you have the perfect jawline
[17:59] <ikonia> Rohan_m: there is no "vs" discussion, it's just personal preference which you like
[18:01] <Rohan_m> ikonia: i was actually talking about performance purpose a basic window prompt takes up more resources in case of Qt while in Gtk it takes only few also Gtk is not wrapped up under lot of classes like that of Qt so I LIKE GTK AND GNOME FOREVER

[18:22] <d45611> hi guys.  I'm SSH'ing into a server running Ubuntu 14.04.  i'm trying to install weechat, and it's worked, but when i run it i get a perl error.  can anyone tell me what the simplest way to fix this is http://pastebin.com/rpqjAXLp     there are many suggestions online such as editing your .bash profile...
[18:22] <d45611> i tried the command update-locale LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 and i got this error http://pastebin.com/1fP675rg
[18:22] <vfw> nevent: Is it dual core processor?
[18:22] <nevent> Yeah
[18:23] <vfw> nevent: How much RAM?
[18:23] <acovrig> I’m trying to setup a virtual router: is it possible to set my guest’s mac address to (a specific) *:42 address, and spoof my physical mac to a random address so there isn’t a conflict?
[18:23] <nevent> at the moment, 2 soon to be 8
[18:23] <TBotNik> All: have .htaccess file in http://site/wp/content.  Content shown in PB at: http://pastebin.com/RuBGiNfM  but files are never shown.  This is test site and must work before content here can be moved/added to the wp site section!
[18:23] <acovrig> that way the router gets the same mac as my physical card, so my IP doesn’t change?
[18:23] <vfw> nevent: It is up to you, but amd64 would prolly be good to use.
[18:24] <vfw> nevent: It's what I would do.
[18:24] <nevent> That's what I was thinking, the better support for 32bit software threw me off though
[18:24] <TBotNik> What have I not done or done wrong?
[18:24] <daftykins> d45611: you should not be doing these things as root. you should not attempt to run an IRC/chat client as root.
[18:24] <acovrig> I don’t get DHCP address if I use my *:42 address for some reason
[18:24] <d45611> root is the username
[18:25] <Busserl> nevent: unless you know a package you need doesn't come in 64bit, I wouldn't excpect to have an issue with this.
[18:25] <nevent> yeah cheers vfw
[18:25] <d45611> that's the only username i was given for the server.....
[18:25] <vfw> nevent: Well, it just depends.  Now-days it's not much of a problem because you can use 32bit software on a 64bit system, you just have to load 32bit libraries, no problem.
[18:25] <daftykins> d45611: then you should create a dummy user to run programs as
[18:25] <d45611> alright
[18:25] <d45611> but, about the perl problem.....
[18:25] <d45611> any ideas on that one?

[18:37] <ln6265431> Chinese.
[18:38] <db1> sort of like vnc viewer from a windows perseptive
[18:38] <LordXe-gnu> you could do vnc also, sure -- just install a vnc server on it

[18:38] <compdoc> db1, you need a 2d desktop, which isnt supported with current OS

[18:40] <daftykins> Guest93174: sounds like MTP support issues, depends on the default file manager in Kubuntu, or if installing that package name is really enough to provide the full desktop of KDE
[18:40] <db1> ubuntu does not require vnc viewer though?
[18:41] <db1> i don't get it
[18:41] <Guest93174> so what should I install to get it work on KDE?
[18:42] <db1> from a windows machine i can VNC into my server, but on my ubuntu machine I can't get the gui to come up
[18:42] <SchrodingersScat> !VNC | db1: you can setup a VNC if you like, but there is also a feature of ssh to run gui on local machine
[18:42] <renebarbosa> db1, what's the OS you're running in your server?
[18:43] <db1> oel 6.4
[18:43] <renebarbosa> if you are using Linux you can enable X11 Port Forwarding
[18:43] <renebarbosa> it's easy
[18:43] <rww> (Oracle Enterprise Linux, for anyone who doesn't know what OEL is)
[18:43] <renebarbosa> I work with OEL too
[18:44] <kurfeld> Hi. Is there any trick to remove FTP connections from Nautilus? They are saved as "last used" connections. I will remove them from there.
[18:51] <aq676_89> hello
[18:51] <aq676_89> do we have ubuntu 14.04.1? or when?
[18:52] <infinity_> anyone know where i can get this package? the link provided does't work. http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/php5-cli/download
[18:52] <OerHeks> aq676_89, when it is finished, schedule says today 24th
[18:52] <Pici> aq676_89: sometime today.
[18:52] <aq676_89> ty ty
[18:52] <aq676_89> :)
[18:52] <db1> so does this have any problems with x-display?
[18:52] <db1> ?
[18:53] <OerHeks> infinity_, raring 13.04 is EOL
[18:53] <rksvy2> Hi: I need help with this error message and any pointers to recover from this once this error starts or even how to avoid this error completely
[18:53] <infinity_> OerHeks: there isn't an archive ?
[18:53] <OerHeks> infinity_, servers are down, so upgrade
[18:53] <infinity_> why is it on the package server ?
[18:53] <infinity_> cant upgrade
[18:54] <daftykins> rksvy2: you best use paste.ubuntu.com to share said error
[18:54] <compdoc> db1, what version of ubuntu?
[18:54] <daftykins> !eol | infinity_ see the last link here for how to upgrade from an EOL release
[18:54] <daftykins> infinity_: you'd probably be better off clean installing 14.04 though
[18:54] <paulus68> is it pôssible to run a smtp server on a virtual machine? and if so what would be the recommended disk size when there are about 2000 mails sent a day
[18:55] <pbx> paulus68, i'd just consult the docs for your MTA on the disk size question
[18:55] <daftykins> paulus68: you're better off getting a hosted solution
[18:55] <infinity_> yea. no can do. our stuff isn't compatible with the new ubuntu
[18:55] <OerHeks> infinity_, really?
[18:55] <daftykins> infinity_: in future you should develop for LTS releases
[18:55] <sheap> 14.04 says virtualbox-guest-dkms is installed, but the module isn't loaded :(
[18:55] <infinity_> looks like i need to make my own package repo in the future.
[18:56] <compdoc> paulus68, you can run many distros in a VM. and emails dont take up much room
[18:56] <infinity_> anyone know when the archive is going ot be online ?
[18:56] <Guest93174> daftykins: you know what I need to install to get mounting also work in kde-plasma-desktop?
[18:56] <daftykins> infinity_: the link tells you. it will never come back, it's renamed now.
[18:56] <daftykins> Guest93174: no
[18:56] <paulus68> compdoc I know it's just for sending out email notifications
[18:57] <compdoc> paulus68, so 20 or 30 G sized drive?
[18:57] <rksvy2> As per daftykins suggestion this is the error I am fighting: http://pastebin.com/t7edALq4
[18:57] <infinity_> daftykins: oh shit. perfect. how come nobody said there was an old-releases server
[18:58] <rksvy2> Once these errors start I have no choice but to reboot the server
[18:58] <daftykins> infinity_: i did give you the links. please tone down the language in here thanks
[18:58] <rksvy2> I would really be super grateful if someone can point to how to 1. Avoid this 2. Recover once this starts out
[18:58] <infinity_> daftykins: sh*t needs to be toned down? are you amish ?
[18:59] <daftykins> infinity_: either comply or you will be removed.
[18:59] <infinity_> daftykins: i didn't say i wouldnt comply. i just asked.
[18:59] <daftykins> channel policy.
[18:59]  * infinity_ needs to file complaint .
[18:59] <Guest93174> daftykins: if I would like to try my luck with kde full, shall I remove plasma before that? And does this kde full desktop have any chance to break ubuntu? Like adding some icons in main menu it cant display properly or something?
[18:59] <infinity_> lol
[18:59] <mmorey> How would I file a problem report?
[19:00] <daftykins> infinity_: seriously though, if this is your place of work - educate them on basing things on LTS releases, not ones like 13.04 that lasted 6 months
[19:00] <OerHeks> !bugreport
[19:00] <daftykins> !bug | mmorey
[19:00] <daftykins> Guest93174: i have no idea. never used KDE.
[19:00] <OerHeks> ah without report, thanks daftykins
[19:00] <compdoc> rksvy2, theres lots of hits on google, like:   https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134249
[19:00] <daftykins> OerHeks: any time :)
[19:00] <mmorey> I cannot use ubuntu-bug.  It is not installed.
[19:00] <Guest93174> tok
[19:00] <mmorey> I wish to use the web interface.
[19:00] <Guest93174> *ok
[19:01] <rksvy2> compdoc: I saw alot of hits too and alot on ipv6 enablement.. that has not been enabled for me so too many of those hits did were not relevant.. hence I am here
[19:02] <compdoc> rksvy2, its about disabling, and its enabled by default. Are your cpus peaking?
[19:02] <sudo> what
[19:02] <rksvy2> Ok let me check again.. I checked my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe... file and it does not exist
[19:02] <compdoc> what do you see is taling up the cpu time?
[19:02] <compdoc> *taking
[19:02] <Guest6716> teach me something cool
[19:02] <Guest6716> someone
[19:02] <rksvy2> Maybe it is a diff location for trusty
[19:03] <compdoc> rksvy2, here, I created this:    http://pastebin.com/U7DY64p4
[19:05] <dreamon> does anybody know when 14.04.1 is coming out?
[19:05] <OerHeks> dreamon, , when it is finished, schedule says today 24th
[19:05] <rksvy2> compdoc: thanks.. :-) (I happened to hit something similar also...) Thanks and sorry for the trouble
[19:06] <compdoc> rksvy2, but does it help?
[19:06] <dreamon> OerHeks, will it be finished today?
[19:06] <daftykins> dreamon: just be patient.
[19:06] <timmy_tofu> When it does come out, does anybody know if the downloads (ftp, torrent) will be changed for that version, or are new installs to simply install 14.04 and upgrade to .1 as existing installs do?
[19:06] <OerHeks> dreamon, yes no maybe
[19:06] <avignited> hi
[19:07] <daftykins> timmy_tofu: using 12.04 as an example, new media gets created
[19:07] <Guest6716> avignited, Hi
[19:07] <avignited> hi guest
[19:07] <avignited> any c programmers here?
[19:07] <Guest6716> yeah  me

[19:07] <Guest6716> let us C
[19:07] <avignited> :P
[19:07] <imahuge_noob> Anyone able to help with intel graphics drivers?
[19:07] <avignited> hehe
[19:08] <daftykins> imahuge_noob: explain what's up then someone might be able to help if they know
[19:08] <rww> avignited: probably best off identifying to nickserv and then /join ##c
[19:08] <rww> !register
[19:08] <imahuge_noob> I just updated my hardware stack when prompted and now my graphics are having issues
[19:09] <gregor_> can I mix DDR3 1.35V 1600MHz RAM with a DDR3 1.5V 1333MHz one?
[19:09] <daftykins> gregor_: join ##hardware
[19:10] <imahuge_noob> daftykins: and Inte's download link for linux drivers ir broken, and the community portal only has the latest stuff for 14.04 (I'm on 12.04)
[19:11] <imahuge_noob> Intel*
[19:13] <OerHeks> intel should work OOTB, no drivers needed AFAIK
[19:14] <imahuge_noob> OerHeks: My workspace windows are just grey boxes now, nothing snaps to my screen and when switching workspaces it's no longer a fluid motion
[19:19] <daftykins> imahuge_noob: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please
[19:22] <imahuge_noob> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/R3hDtEx7
[19:23] <daftykins> imahuge_noob: i see the problem
[19:23] <daftykins>      9.396] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[19:23] <daftykins> [     9.396] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
[19:23] <imahuge_noob> Interesting
[19:23] <imahuge_noob> So how do I fix that?
[19:24] <daftykins> imahuge_noob: first off show me the output of "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri"
[19:25] <bcc> ubuntu 12.04.. ufw disabled. Its only a local web server, but local traffic keeps getting added to iptables DROP. There are NO firewalls on it :(
[19:25] <amph900> my sis191 ethernet doesn't work in 14.04 - it kinda did if you prodded it with mtu 1492 but that doesn't work anymore either
[19:25] <daftykins> amph900: ancient SiS hardware? go back to 12.04 maybe
[19:26] <imahuge_noob> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/XD2PZYgE
[19:26] <amph900> the rest of my hw works better though, including my radeon
[19:26] <amph900> it's much faster in 14.04
[19:27] <amph900> just no working ethernet
[19:27] <daftykins> imahuge_noob: you're using the x-swat PPA i see there, your system is full of 3rd party PPAs
[19:28] <daftykins> imahuge_noob: anyway it installed, so reboot and re-pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log after please
[19:28] <imahuge_noob> K brb
[19:28] <amph900> and it's not much of an old controller
[19:28] <daftykins> anything SiS is ancient :D
[19:28] <amph900> gigabit, openbsd and windows are both happy
[19:29] <amph900> just not linux (and haiku, but who cares about haiku?)
[19:29] <daftykins> amph900: then you have a decision to make
[19:29] <amph900> buy a pro/1000 seems reasonable
[19:30] <axp882> hey im trying to share a folder across the network, everytime i try to enable it (right-click menu) i get this error: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Access Denied
[19:30] <axp882> does anyone know how to fix it? im tired to going around the web and editing the conf file
[19:31] <daftykins> axp882: i'd have given up on graphical sharing and installed and configured samba manually by now
[19:31] <axp882> daftykins tried to do that still having problems :(
[19:32] <axp882> i just want to share an attached volume to it
[19:32] <axp882> **to a mac
[19:32] <daftykins> axp882: what filesystem is on this 'volume' ?
[19:32] <axp882> daftykins ext4 i think
[19:32] <daftykins> can you confirm?
[19:33] <jay__> draftykins: Hey this is hugenoob
[19:33] <axp882> daftykins confirmed
[19:34] <axp882> its just a virtual HD i added with vsphere
[19:34] <jay__> daftykins*
[19:34] <daftykins> jay__: ok
[19:34] <axp882> daftykins what do you have in mind to share with a mac desktop?
[19:35] <jay__> daftykins: So it got stuck on a black screen at reboot so I had to hard shutdown. Then when I started it again it gave me an option to boot into 2 different linux version as well as a memtest option and whatnot
[19:35] <jay__> daftykins: I chose the first option and now I'm only in a black terminal interface using irssi
[19:35] <daftykins> jay__: ah yeah, recovery menu etc. etc.
[19:36] <daftykins> jay__: alright, well you can just remove that package again... but your system has the ubuntu x-swat PPA added along with many others, so you're not even running a properly stable standard ubuntu system really
[19:36] <jay__> daftykins: Should I just restart again or what?
[19:36] <daftykins> after removing that package yes
[19:37] <jay__> daftykins: What's the command for that? I don't remember the name of the package either

[19:41] <DJones> loctauxphilippe: 12.04 to 14.04 upgrades don't happen automatically until 14.04.1 is released, thats expected later today or tomorrow
[19:41] <loctauxphilippe> tiblock, Oh you are talking about 14.04.1 or just 14.04 ?
[19:41] <loctauxphilippe> Oh!
[19:41] <tiblock> OerHeks, okay, thank you

[19:42] <loctauxphilippe> I don't know if .1 is here...
[19:42] <Pici> It isn't.
[19:42] <jay__> daftykins: f7 is supposed to be the normal desktop right? Cause that's stuck as well, and there's an error there that says "NO suitable module for running kernel found"
[19:42] <loctauxphilippe> tiblock, I didn't have anything about the .1 release.... ;-(
[19:43] <tiblock> loctauxphilippe, OerHeks says it will be today, so need wait more
[19:43] <loctauxphilippe> tiblock, Yep!
[19:43] <loctauxphilippe> tiblock, Everone is wating for that...

[19:45] <tiblock> loctauxphilippe, i dont have information, i dont know
[19:45] <jay__> this sucks :(
[19:45] <loctauxphilippe> tiblock, Allright...
[19:46] <daftykins> jay__: you've filled your system with too much junk from PPAs, i'm not entirely surprised. is that machine fully upgraded?

[20:17] <axp882> hey so i finally got a damn fileshare to work on ubuntu but when i access try to open the folder in os x i get this error: the operation cannot be completed because the original item cant be found
[20:17] <axp882> it may be worth mentioning that its on an attached HD
[20:18] <axp882> ie: /meshal/username/HDDname
[20:18] <Raazeer> axp, what kind of file share are we talking about?
[20:18] <axp882> ** ie: /media/user/HDD
[20:18] <axp882> Raazeer its the native smb in gnome
[20:18] <axp882> ie: rightclick then share
[20:19] <axp882> i edited the conf file and all is working if its a local file on the VM
[20:19] <Raazeer> axp882, you should be aware that there are several different versions of the protocol, which aren't entirely compatible.
[20:19] <Raazeer> have you tried accessing it from other oses/machines than your osx one?
[20:19] <rawrmonster> What happend to ia32-libs?
[20:20] <axp882> Raazeer not quite, it just works flawlessly for files on the main HD but anything in /media/HDDname doesnt work
[20:20] <s1991> pls anybody help me with wired network connection problem. It was working fine but stopped suddenly.
[20:20] <Luke_A> Hello people! I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux in general and have an issue with an Ubuntu guest running on a VM in windows 7. I can't get the internet working from within Ubuntu can anyone help me please I've been trying for days!
[20:20] <Raazeer> I see. So you want to share a mounted device over the network, right?
[20:20] <axp882> Raazeer Exactly
[20:21] <Raazeer> Luke_A, this might be more of a question for a virtualisation/windows channel.
[20:21] <Raazeer> axp882, how are you going about mounting the external device?
[20:21] <axp882> I mounted it with the Disk application
[20:21] <rksvy> Luke_A: Ensure your network in your VM is in bridged mode
[20:21] <jay_> Anyone? :(
[20:21] <axp882> its on /media/username/HDD
[20:22] <Raazeer> axp, you're doing all this from gnome, right? because gnome has its own mounting/sharing daemon that sometimes behaves strangely.
[20:22] <Luke_A> I need to use NAT mode as I can only have the one connection on a university network
[20:22] <axp882> Raazeer yes its from gnome, but mounthing the HD happened in ubuntu and it works perfectly within the VM
[20:23] <axp882> Raazeer im just not able to access folders remotely ONLY on the mounted drive
[20:23] <Raazeer> axp882, I'd suggest trying to do it from the command line with the traditional samba/mount commands and see if it behaves differently.
[20:24] <Raazeer> Luke_A, my professional oppinion is that this has nothing to do with the linux guest but is a problem on the windows host.
[20:24] <Busserl> Luke_A: what do you use?
[20:24] <Raazeer> Luke_A, the whole virtual network thingy should be completely transparent to the guest.
[20:24] <Busserl> Luke_A: I'd also guess that Ubuntu by default just tries DHCP, and if that doesn't work, it is probably not Ubuntu's fault.
[20:25] <Luke_A> ok thanks guys
[20:25] <Luke_A> hmm I don't know where to go
[20:25] <Busserl> Luke_A: Do you use virtualbox?
[20:25] <Raazeer> Luke_A, if you want NAT, seen from your linux guest it should look like there is a router on the virtual lan.
[20:25] <Luke_A> yes
[20:26] <Busserl> Luke_A: have you tried static ip, or just dhcp/nothing at all?
[20:26] <Luke_A> ive tried changing the ipv4 settings to match the host
[20:27] <Raazeer> Luke_A, that's wrong for sure.
[20:27] <Luke_A> and dhcp which is supposed to be automatic if I am right
[20:27] <Busserl> Luke_A: I don't use vbox anymore, so my memory of its NAT mode is not good. That probably wouldnt work.
[20:27] <Busserl> Luke_A: Do you use a wireless card, is it a laptop host?
[20:27] <Luke_A> ok well others told me to do it so I tried theres a lot of conflicting information out there for new users
[20:27] <bekks> vbox NAT and static IPs do work fine.
[20:28] <Luke_A> its a wired host on a university network
[20:28] <Luke_A> but the same issue happens on my wired network at home
[20:28] <Luke_A> from terminal I can ping external ips but not web addresses
[20:28] <Luke_A> so is it a dns issue?
[20:28] <Raazeer> Luke_A, I guess that's that.
[20:29] <Luke_A> is that normally something that's easy to fix?
[20:29] <Raazeer> Luke_A, btw, can't you just request another IP from your admins?
[20:29] <Raazeer> I presume you have a good reason for wanting that VM.
[20:30] <Raazeer> bridging is way easier than the whole NAT shmodder.
[20:30] <Luke_A> but I want to know why nat will not work
[20:30] <Luke_A> i thought nat was supposed to be the simplest way
[20:31] <Raazeer> Luke_A, the first thing you have to understand when you run virtual machines on windows is that sometimes "because it's friday and summer" is a perfectly good reason for something not to work.
[20:31] <Busserl> Luke_A: Looks like DNS information coming to the vm is wrong. Usually the DHCP server gives that info along with the ip to clients.
[20:31] <Busserl> Luke_A: but could be anything, yes
[20:31] <Luke_A> haha! ok
[20:32] <compdoc> but its only thursday
[20:32] <Raazeer> Luke_A, the whole network stack of windows is just not built to support the kind of flexibility you'd expect of linux
[20:32] <Luke_A> so if I set DNS information manually what should it be? the same as the host as displayed in ipconfig /all?
[20:32] <Raazeer> Luke_A, try <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:33] <Raazeer> as dns
[20:33] <jay_> Can someone help me? X won't start and booting gets stuck on "checking battery state". I googled around and this seems to happen with people who've had their nvidia drivers screwed up but I have intel integrated graphics (though I had been using a dual monitor setup so maybe I installed something stupid in the process?)
[20:33] <Raazeer> jay_, without wasting time on google, did it say the _drivers_ were fouled up or the _config_?
[20:34] <jay_> Raazeer: I saw both being mentioned.
[20:34] <Raazeer> Luke_A, what network configuration scheme do you use?
[20:34] <Luke_A> raazeer can you explain how i do that just so i know that I'm doing it right?
[20:34] <Busserl> Luke_A: I think this could work as a test: Type into the terminal 'dig @<IP_ADDRESS> www.youtube.com'
[20:35] <Raazeer> Busserl, good idea before fouling around with the config.
[20:35] <Raazeer> jay_, what does Xorg.log say?
[20:36] <Raazeer> any errors?
[20:36] <Busserl> Raazeer: Well I also forgot the command for telling resolvconf a different server. :)
[20:36] <Raazeer> Busserl, there's always man pages.
[20:36] <Luke_A> it does nothing same as when i try and ping web addresses
[20:37] <Raazeer> Luke_A, so you can ping <IP_ADDRESS>, right?
[20:37] <Luke_A> yes razz, that works fine
[20:37] <Luke_A> ^raaz
[20:38] <Raazeer> so what kind of output does dig @<IP_ADDRESS> youtube.com give you?
[20:38] <Raazeer> any errors?
[20:38] <Luke_A> connection timeout
[20:38] <Luke_A> no servers could be reached
[20:39] <jay_> Raazeer: There are 3 - 1) (EE) error, (NI) Not implemented, (??) unknown --- 2) /dri/i965_dri.so failed to open, no such file or directory --- 3) same_path/swrast_dri.so failed to open, no such file or directory. I should also mention that this all started with a hardware stack update. Things seemed to be pretty weird with my graphics (though I still had a desktop). I came on here asking for help and daftykins saw a similar error and told me to install libg1-dri-me
[20:40] <jay_> Raazeer: He also mentioned that I seemed to have a lot of PPAs
[20:40] <Raazeer> Luke_A, then can you get any content at all?
[20:40] <Raazeer> Luke_A, try wget http://<IP_ADDRESS> (which is google)
[20:41] <Raazeer> it should download an index.html
[20:41] <Raazeer> jay_, that doesn't tell me anything specifically. have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers?
[20:42] <Luke_A> nope doesn't work
[20:42] <jay_> Raazeer: Apologies i misinterpreted the key as an error :), under the first error it says: AIGLX) reverting to software rendering, and under the second it says GLX: could not load software renderer
[20:42] <nonconvergent> Okay, got a fresh ubuntu 14.04 lts headless server up.  I go to set a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces, by setting "iface eth0 inet static", "address <IP_ADDRESS>", "netmask <IP_ADDRESS>", and "gateway <IP_ADDRESS>"; after rebooting it's on the right ip but I can't see outside the network IE can't even ping.
[20:43] <Raazeer> Luke_A, then you can obviously get icmp packages through but nothing else. this is definitely a network problem host sid.
[20:43] <Raazeer> e
[20:43] <Luke_A> ok
[20:43] <mustmodify> where is the path traditionally set?
[20:43] <Raazeer> jay_, that looks like a clue right there.
[20:44] <Luke_A> thanks raaz et al. I shall try and find another channel
[20:44] <mustmodify> I've been struggling to figure out why a script isn't working from crontab and finally discovered that, when using crontab, /usr/local/bin isn't in the path.
[20:44] <Raazeer> Luke_A, good luck, getting vms to work on windows without spending a cartload of money is a task in its own.
[20:45] <rksvy> folks, can someone help with this error where I see RCU self detect stall that freezes my system and makes me reboot it
[20:45] <Raazeer> mustmodify, where the path is set depends largely on the context you are in.
[20:45] <Raazeer> you can always overwrite it on the command line.
[20:45] <mustmodify> Raazeer: I understand that.
[20:46] <mustmodify> Raazeer: But two entries are in the path from crontab and I don't see export PATH in ~/.bash*
[20:46] <mustmodify> or ~/.profile
[20:46] <Raazeer> rksvy, you win the most unspecific question of the day award.
[20:46] <mustmodify> so I'm trying to figure out where that's set
[20:46] <nonconvergent> Any love, ubuntu?
[20:47] <Raazeer> mustmodify, what exacly are you trying to do?
[20:48] <jay_> Raazeer: Any ideas?
[20:48] <rksvy> Raazeer: gee thanks :-) I need an award for sure!!
[20:49] <Raazeer> rksvy, in other words, I doubt you will find somebody who can help you unless you explain your problem in a leeetle more detail.
[20:49] <rksvy> Yep.. I understand but I wanted to get some attention ..negative is good wnough ;-)
[20:49] <mustmodify> Raazeer: find out where other things are added to the path and add something to that, rather than half-assing it by adding it wherever, then trying to remember how the hell I did that later.
[20:49] <Raazeer> jay_, not off the top of my head, unless "have you googled that specific error?" helps
[20:49] <rksvy> Te major symptom of my problem: console freezes ans so does the ssh terminal.
[20:49] <rksvy> I had a slew of such error :-
[20:50] <rksvy> INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 7} (detected by 6, t=39932 jiffies, g=1759, c=1758, q=271)
[20:50] <rksvy> INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: { 7} (detected by 6, t=46237 jiffies, g=1759, c=1758, q=274)
[20:50] <rksvy> While running a NW loopback test.
[20:50] <Raazeer> mustmodify, PATH=/some/where:$PATH somecommand is the traditional way
[20:50] <TataBigdaddey> good evening! (provided you're from Europe)
[20:50] <rksvy> I rdisabled ipv6 and that slew of errors went away
[20:50] <mustmodify> Raazeer: That's how, not where.
[20:50] <TataBigdaddey> Question: any ideas why I can't seem to find the xev in order to install it?
[20:51] <rksvy> BUT the frozen console issue is there.. the console still freezes and I get this error once :-
[20:51] <jay_> Raazeer: doesn't seem to produce anything useful
[20:51] <TataBigdaddey> the "key pressing" tracking program?
[20:51] <Raazeer> mustmodify, that's where too - wherever you run the command
[20:51] <rksvy> INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPUINFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
[20:51] <TataBigdaddey> I want to bind keys to my mouse,  but need to identify them first
[20:51] <rksvy> That is all I have (this is while running a network loopback test)
[20:51] <mustmodify> Raazeer: Wow, Total disconnect.
[20:51] <mustmodify> jay_: Maybe it's a turing test?
[20:51] <TataBigdaddey> This guide: http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Mice-and-Pointing-Devices/Guide-for-setup-Performance-MX-mouse-on-Linux-with-KDE/td-p/517167
[20:51] <Raazeer> TataBigdaddey, try apt-file find
[20:52] <Raazeer> rksvy, sounds like a kernel problem, what does google have to say about it?
[20:52] <jay_> :(
[20:53] <rksvy> I only find hits that talk about ipv6 bugs and that disabling solves the problem
[20:53] <Raazeer> mustmodify, seriously, I'd do it ad hoc instead of fooling around with the system config.
[20:53] <mustmodify> Raazeer: Seriously. I think you're a turing test.
[20:54] <Raazeer> mustmodify, Wy do you say you think I'm a touring test?
[20:54] <hellyeah> hey
[20:54] <hellyeah> how can i add a username to the light dm
[20:54] <mustmodify> because of the total disconnect between what I was asking and your responses.
[20:54] <rksvy> but it didn't .. warnings went away BUT the freezing is still happening
[20:54] <Raazeer> mustmodify, how do you feel about the total disconnect between what I was asking and your responses?
[20:55] <Raazeer> mustmodify, sorry for kidding you but either I don't quite grasp your problem or you don't quite grasp my answers.
[20:55] <jay_> To be fair Raazeer is trying to help like 5 different people at once :)
[20:55] <Raazeer> you want to run a command via cron right?
[20:55] <thephreak> i asked earlier about the LTS 12.04 to 14.04, but I'm not a desktop user, i'm running server. I've seen a number of articles on doing this upgrade. Running "do-release-upgrade -d" fails finding the quantal.tar.gz.gpg. Is today's release really going to address my issue?
[20:56] <jay_> Raazeer: Oh also if I try startx is says /etc/bin/x not found
[20:56] <jay_> /usr/bin/X*
[20:56] <Raazeer> jay_, does it exist?
[20:56] <Raazeer> if it doesn't that might be a good pointer as to why X does not start
[20:57] <TataBigdaddey> dieties, what's the comand for "apt-find file"?
[20:57] <TataBigdaddey> if I want to find that xev program thingy?
[20:58] <jay_> Raazeer: I see X11 and I see Xorg but not 'X'. I should also probably mention that I did sugo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*, and then when I tried to reinstall nvidia-current it didn't work....So I might also be missing a fair amount of stuff
[20:58] <Raazeer> TataBigdaddey, it's apt-file find. it can also do apt-file list.
[20:59] <Raazeer> jay_, I think my advice to TataBigdaddey might apply to you also. install apt-file first and find out which packages have /usr/bin/X.
[20:59] <Raazeer> then install the one that looks most promising to you , most likely xserver-xorg
[20:59] <TataBigdaddey> oh, apt-file is a program? :D
[20:59] <Raazeer> (but verify that first please!)
[20:59] <Raazeer> TataBigdaddey, indeed it is.
[20:59] <TataBigdaddey> ugh I thought it's a command... thank you!
[21:00] <Raazeer> TataBigdaddey, it is also a command. specifically it is a command to run the program named apt-file.
[21:00] <jay_> Raazeer: wait what params do I give it?
[21:00] <Raazeer> jay_, TataBigdaddey apt-file has two modes: find to find a package containing a specific file, and list to list the files contained in a package
[21:01] <Raazeer> so you either do apt-file find /usr/bin/X or apt-file list xserver-xorg
[21:01] <rksvy> anyone ? Any input on the RCU erro I've been griping about ?
[21:01] <Raazeer> it's one helluva useful tool.
[21:01] <Raazeer> rksvy, sorry, I could only google that for you.
[21:02] <jay_> Raazeer: I don't understand how the results help?
[21:02] <TataBigdaddey> now, since I need to find that - pardon me french - sorryass XEV program... how do I find it so I can also install it?
[21:03] <Raazeer> TataBigdaddey, you know the basics about packages and such, don't you?
[21:03] <Raazeer> so the question you should be asking yourself is what - pardon me french - sorryass package contains that sorryass xev executable
[21:03] <TataBigdaddey> define "basics", since I like to believe that I do, however... I probably only understand the idea behind them, and have yet to catch the procedure(s)
[21:03] <rksvy> ok thanks
[21:04] <Raazeer> and since asking _yourself_ that question is not going to yield any answers if it hasn't so far, I'd suggest asking apt-file.
[21:04] <TataBigdaddey> thank you
[21:04] <Raazeer> TataBigdaddey, to get you started on your way, try apt-file find bin/xev
[21:05] <jay_> Raazeer: So I just install any of these that contain /usr/bin/X?
[21:05] <Raazeer> jay_, I suggest using your god-given gift of occams razor to select the most likely candidate.
[21:06] <jay_> Raazeer: Can you remind me again is 12.04 saucy or raring?
[21:06] <Ben64> precise
[21:06]  * TataBigdaddey facepalms himself
[21:06] <Raazeer> jay_, iirc it is R.
[21:06] <wolfspy> google it?
[21:06] <TataBigdaddey> sweet lord jesus (or anyone) Raazeer you have permission to kick my ass
[21:07] <Ben64> TataBigdaddey: keep the language clean please
[21:07] <jay_> Raazeer: Time to restart, hopefully I won't be back :P
[21:07] <Raazeer> TataBigdaddey, I disapprove of cruelty to animals, what's up?
[21:07] <TataBigdaddey> pardon me, everyone
[21:08] <Payam2> Hi anybody interested in helping me setup Drobpox on Ubuntu? I'm going crazy as every file Dropbox downloads from the cloud becomes Read Only. You can Teamviewer in  and  I will reimburse you for your time.
[21:08] <Raazeer> TataBigdaddey, ok, what trigged this unseemly outbreak of self-hate?
[21:09] <Raazeer> or should it be self-loathing? not sure...
[21:09] <daftykins> Raazeer: keep it on topic please.
[21:09] <jay_> Raazeer: Woo! Okay I have a desktop now. My trackpad doesn't work at all though :D
[21:09] <Raazeer> daftykins, now what?
[21:09] <Raazeer> jay_, that might have something to do with evdev being screwed up too.
[21:09] <TataBigdaddey> I'm new enough not to recognise that "$ xev" is where you should simply enter "$ xev" in order to run thie program
[21:10] <jay_> Raazeer: evdev?
[21:10] <TataBigdaddey> new enough meaning - basically my second 'real' use of Linux, day 1
[21:10] <Raazeer> TataBigdaddey, actually the dollar sign represents your prompt, whatever it looks like.
[21:10] <Raazeer> so what you are supposed to enter is just plain 'xev'
[21:10] <TataBigdaddey> yes, the $ symbol is there by default, so.. like you said
[21:11] <Raazeer> the convention is that a dollar sign is the unprivileged prompt, the hash sign is the root prompt.
[21:11] <BSDLOVER`> please join #bsdgeekclub
[21:11] <BSDLOVER`> i need more users in #bsdgeekclub
[21:12] <jeffreylevesque> is ubuntu considered debian?
[21:12] <Raazeer> so if you ever see a line like '# rm -rf /' in a book anywhere, you are supposed to execute 'rm -rf /' as root (don't do that, it is essentially format c: in bash)
[21:12] <Ben64> jeffreylevesque: based on debian, not debian
[21:12] <Raazeer> jeffreylevesque, flame war starting in 3...2...1...
[21:13] <jay_> Raazeer: So Xorg is still unhappy about something. The log is filled a bunch of this:  (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument
[21:13] <jeffreylevesque> i got the ice baby
[21:13] <jeffreylevesque> they call me iceman
[21:13] <Raazeer> jay_, FBDEV is basicly the fallback in case nothing else works graphic driver.
[21:13] <TataBigdaddey> welp, for now, thank you everyone, I think my eyes are telling me to get to sleep already
[21:13] <Raazeer> so I guess you'll have to reinstall pretty much your whole X environment yet.
[21:14] <jay_> Raazeer: How do I go about doing that?
[21:15] <Raazeer> jay_, how do you feel about rm -rf / and start over? just kidding...
[21:15] <jay_> lol
[21:15] <Ben64> jay_: what did you do to break it
[21:15] <Ben64> Raazeer: don't post that command here even as a joke
[21:15] <jay_> I think it all started with me updating my hardware stack
[21:15] <Raazeer> Ben he uninstalled a few packages and likely cascaded a bit much.
[21:16] <Raazeer> Ben64, now that I think about it, this might indeed not be the right audience for that joke...
[21:16] <Ben64> jay_: what version of ubuntu?
[21:16] <jay_> Ben64: 12.04
[21:16] <OerHeks> jay_, and tell Ben64 , you have a bunch of PPA's :-D
[21:17] <jay_> Lol supposedly, yes
[21:17] <Ben64> jay_: pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[21:17] <TataBigdaddey> most certainly "see" y'all tomorrow o/
[21:18] <Raazeer> ok, since jay_ seems to be in good hands with Ben64, I'll retire.
[21:18] <Raazeer> it's been a blast helping y'all.
[21:18] <Ben64> i have to leave in like 15
[21:18] <Raazeer> Ben64, 15 can be a lifetime if you know the right commands ;)
[21:18] <Raazeer> ok, take care everyone.
[21:18] <Raazeer> see you soon.
[21:19] <jay_> Ben64:http://pastebin.com/zqxCypts
[21:19] <jay_> Raazeer: Thanks man, later!
[21:19] <squeese> Hey folks, looking for some tips, Im relatively new to using linux (xubuntu) as my main workstation, and therefore I try all sorts of stuff to learn.. but Ive had to reinstall sooner or later alot lately, soo.. need tips on how to set up some sort of backup? Is there something like norton ghost?
[21:20] <Ben64> jay_: wow that is a lot of ppas
[21:20] <jay_> Hahaha
[21:20] <jay_> I've been told
[21:20] <jay_> I really didn't think I added a lot
[21:21] <Ben64> you might want to consider a fresh 14.04 install
[21:21] <jay_> Ben64: I really can't do that :S
[21:22] <Ben64> why?
[21:22] <jay_> Ben64: My dev environment
[21:22] <jay_> Ben64: Is there any way to just get rid of the PPA's and pull from the main repos instead?
