[14:55] <Jarppi> Hey does anyone know how can i suggest new icon for Ubuntu MATE?
[14:56] <pauljw> xubunto: i'm not an expert but if it were me, i would reinstall the windows drive and see if i could get it to boot, then do a proper shutdown of windows.  restart it one more time to insure it came up normally then shut it down and install my ubuntu disk and see if would then boot as normal.  if that doesn't work i'm out of ideas.
[14:57] <xubunto> i tried that pauljw
[14:58] <_arktos_> cd Softz*
[14:58] <pauljw> xubunto: and what werre the results
[14:58] <xubunto> i am still here

[14:59] <ioria> xubunto, what happens when you boot your machine ?
[14:59] <pauljw> xubunto: okay, so now linux is hanging, you said you have tried 3x to boot linux, how are rebooting?
[15:00] <_arktos_> Jarppi : No
[15:02] <xubunto> pauljw: linux didnt hang
[15:02] <xubunto> the drive is corrupted
[15:03] <pauljw> oh, well good luck then, over my head.
[15:03] <ioria> xubunto, you mean you cannot boot neither win or ubuntu ?
[15:03] <xubunto> xubuntu boots
[15:03] <xubunto> permissions were all fried
[15:04] <xubunto> essentially only have reads
[15:04] <xubunto> making a backup of what i cam from the home directory

[15:12] <EriC^^> adroit_machine: is the account enabled?
[15:12] <adroit_machine> EriC^^, yes account is enabled
[15:13] <EriC^^> adroit_machine: ok, type grep <user> /etc/passwd

[15:14] <adroit_machine> EriC^^, I'm not able to enable the account without password
[15:14] <EriC^^> an :x: in the password field is normal
[15:14] <AndroidAutomatic> cat /etc/passwd | grep <user>

[15:15] <EriC^^> adroit_machine: ok, paste grep <user> /etc/passwd
[15:15] <zykotick9> AndroidAutomatic: see EriC^^'s grep line for a better use of grep, and no useless use of cat
[15:16] <adroit_machine> EriC^^, ok
[15:17] <Kartagis> I have a ppa added and the software in that ppa was updated. how do I force update from that ppa? --reinstall is not of use to me

[15:18] <EriC^^> adroit_machine: ok, type id ubuntu and paste

[15:27] <BitNova> Hi guys, im having an issue with apcupsd on ESXI 6.0, i have installed the latest version of ubuntu server 14.04 as VM and it has detected the UPS and all, i have created the doshutdown script in /etc/apcupsd with the following
[15:27] <BitNova> #!/bin/sh
[15:27] <BitNova> export HOME=/home/USER
[15:27] <BitNova> plink -ssh -2 -pw password<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"/sbin/shutdown.sh && /sbin/poweroff"
[15:27] <BitNova> exit 99
[15:27] <BitNova> It works when i have logged into the VM and only if i have restarted the apcupsd, then it picks it up and shuts down the VM's and then ESXI server, but when i start up the ESXI and VM's again, without logging into ubuntu VM - if i trip the power again, it wont detect the power failure and it wont initiate shutdown. ive noticed it will only do this once i log into ubuntu and THEN restart the apcupsd, ONLY then it invokes the doshutdown script.  any thoug
[15:27] <BitNova> hts why this is happening?
[15:29] <mat1c> hi all - hoping for some help with a keyboard issue - with a few keys especially w and the arrows it genereates ghost keypresses. It happened when I accidentaly disabled the wrong input from the terminal. It has persisted through restarts. Fine in windows. Internal laptop keyboard. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated!
[15:36] <xubunto> I have a ext4 external bootable drive but fsck.ext4 doesnt seem to want to look at it
[15:40] <EriC^^> xubunto: why are you trying to fsck it?
[15:41] <xubunto> EriC^^: it got corrupted
[15:41] <xubunto> i am letting the program repair what it can
[15:42] <EriC^^> xubunto: hard disk or filesystem corruption?
[15:42] <xubunto> seems like hte physical drive is intact
[15:42] <lakamis> hi
[15:42] <EriC^^> xubunto: try sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX to check the physical drive
[15:42] <lakamis> im installed ubuntu but i write my pass but icannt login?
[15:43] <EriC^^> if it's going bad jump ships quickly
[15:43] <lakamis> repeat want ne pass
[15:43] <lakamis> ACPI PPC Probe failed ?
[15:43] <EriC^^> lakamis: does it say wrong password? or it logs in for a bit then gives you the login screen back?
[15:43] <xubunto> EriC^^:program not found
[15:43] <xubunto> i can read the files just fine
[15:43] <EriC^^> xubunto: sudo apt-get install smartmontools
[15:44] <xubunto> EriC^^:should mention i am working from an install disk right now
[15:45] <xubunto> i may be able ot stand a full linux if i really should do so
[15:45] <EriC^^> xubunto: it's no problem
[15:45] <xubunto> should i let fsck continue?
[15:45] <EriC^^> after it installs, type sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX | nc termbin.com 9999
[15:46] <xubunto> it didnt install
[15:46] <EriC^^> i'd check it first, if it's going bad, image it or something, if the information is important to you
[15:46] <EriC^^> why not?
[15:46] <EriC^^> !info smartmontools
[15:46] <xubunto> herpyderp
[15:46] <xubunto> its offline
[15:47] <xubunto> cant get it online either

[16:01] <xubunto> ioria: i got ethernet into a router

[16:16] <Paul^^> hello
[16:16] <EriC^^> xubunto: *shrug*
[16:17] <xubunto> i am going to let fsck finish then
[16:17] <Dan39> using 14.04. the init scripts are kind of confusing me. im use to old sysv or systemd, but it looks like my 14.04 system is using some combination of upstart stuff, and also sysv init scripts, or what?
[16:18] <xubunto> EriC^^:it would seem at first blush that when the windows kernel was trying to recover it did damage to some of the inodes on the linux drive i had put in its place
[16:20] <Dan39> so, does 14.04 support both systems for services? some look to have files in both /etc/init/ and /etc/init.d/ while others only in /etc/init.d/
[16:20] <auronandace> Dan39: starting with 15.04 they fully transitioned to systemd
[16:21] <auronandace> Dan39: but they have some sort of compatibility layer too
[16:21] <Dan39> cool, tho that doesnt help me understand how to manage my 14.04
[16:21] <Dan39> is using 'service x start' good for everything...?
[16:21] <Dan39> or should i be using initctl?
[16:21] <auronandace> Dan39: as far as i know on 14.04 yes, since that still uses upstart
[16:22] <auronandace> !upstart | Dan39
[16:22] <Dan39> yes i know
[16:22] <Dan39> that page doesnt help much tho :p
[16:23] <Dan39> i get what upstart is, it actually sounds nice
[16:23] <Dan39> but im confused as to whats with the old Sys V scripts still be used also
[16:24] <clrae> Hi there I have  a question , is it possible  to install package in ubuntu server  using a usb stick if i don't have a wired connection to install the packege with apt-get ??
[16:24] <auronandace> clrae: yes, but you'd need all the dependencies too
[16:25] <auronandace> !aptoncd | clrae
[16:25] <clrae> auronandace : i only need  to install -lubuntu-desktop , because i want GUI interface
[16:25] <Dan39> it looks like some things in 14.04 dont even have upstart files :|
[16:25] <Dan39> like apache2...
[16:26] <auronandace> clrae: that is a meta-package, it drags in all the dependencies
[16:26] <auronandace> !info lubuntu-desktop | clrae
[16:26] <xubunto> EriC^^: ioria it seems like the fsck worked
[16:26] <ioria> xubunto, good
[16:27] <ioria> clrae, these are deps that you need : http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/lubuntu-desktop
[16:27] <ioria> ^_^
[16:28] <ioria> clrae, better to get a connection ...
[16:29] <clrae> ioria : I really don't have wired , itried to connect to wifi , from the command prompt -but it doesnt connect for some reason
[16:30] <ioria> clrae, you mean, you have a server without connection ? ?_?
[16:30] <Hrxn> hey hey

[16:32] <amontalenti> I use swsusp and have an issue where my intel pstate cpufreq driver gets reset to 50% scaling / conservative mode upon resume.

[16:32] <tootai> LTSP thin client, sorry ....
[16:32] <stiv2k> does anybody know how to change the power settings for the login screen... i.e. when to put the display to sleep and when to put the computer to sleep? For some reason the monitor goes to sleep VERY quickly, like in a few seconds, at the login screen

[16:33] <ubuntu937> I have grub2
[16:34] <clrae> ioria ; i don't mean a server , it's just a mini iso installation , so i have only command prompt , but i actually need a full insatllation of lubuntu , i tried to install the lubuntu  full iso , but i encountered some problem , but with mini iso , i got grub installed , and worked , so now i need to get the full lubuntu-desktop packege
[16:34] <liam> anyone tell me how to install bbm on linux so fast....
[16:34] <auronandace> ubuntu937: cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /place/you/want/to/backup/to
[16:35] <ubuntu937> auronandace:  okay.. can I put that file on my USB Ubuntu install key?
[16:35] <ubuntu937> auronandace: and whenever my USB key loads it will load the grub  file/
[16:35] <auronandace> ubuntu937: bear in mind that that file is generated from /etc/grub.d/ and the info in /etc/default/grub
[16:35] <clrae> ioria : does it matter which mirror i downlaod lubuntu-desktop from ?
[16:35] <ioria> clrae, if you installed with  mini-iso , you clearly have connection ....
[16:36] <auronandace> ubuntu937: you'd need to install grub to the usb stick
[16:36] <ioria> clrae, it's a net install ...
[16:36] <ubuntu937> auronandace: has grub, doesn't it? how can I check if it is using GRUb or not..? it has a /boot/grub
[16:37] <clrae> ioria: yes i had wifi connection , thats how i installed the base system , but now i don't know how to connect to the wifi from the command line
[16:37] <auronandace> ubuntu937: better consult the docs
[16:37] <auronandace> !grub | ubuntu937
[16:37] <ioria> clrae, right... do you have a  cable ?
[16:37] <ubuntu937> auronandace: thanks...
[16:38] <clrae> ioria : no , only wifi access that is the problem  you see
[16:38] <ioria> clrae, i'am afraid you have to edit by hand /etc/network/interface , for a wifi connection ,
[16:38] <clrae> ioria : so it doesnt matther which mirro i download from ?
[16:39] <ubuntu937> ubottu: I didn't loose the config.. I want to make a backup of my grub2 config that I currently have because I need to do the following: http://askubuntu.com/questions/677245/adding-lvm-from-another-lvm
[16:39] <ioria> clrae, i don't think so ... if it's up
[16:39] <tripelb> I
[16:39] <ubuntu937> ubottu: ohh darn it! thanks..lol!
[16:40] <clrae> ioria : why can't i download  the needed packege to usb and then install it ?
[16:40] <giant_killer> d.net
[16:41] <auronandace> ubuntu937: why do you wnt to preserve the grub2 config of a partition you are going to wipe?
[16:41] <clrae> ioria ; itried this totorial but it didnt get me connected http://blog.tplus1.com/blog/2008/06/13/how-to-connect-to-a-wireless-network-from-the-ubuntu-command-line/

[16:42] <stiv2k> does anybody know how to change the power settings for the login screen... i.e. when to put the display to sleep and when to put the computer to sleep? For some reason the monitor goes to sleep VERY quickly, like in a few seconds, at the login screen
[16:43] <ioria> clrae, it should look like this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/245806/what-is-the-correct-syntax-for-etc-network-interfaces
[16:43] <ioria> clrae, do you have wpasupplicant installed ?
[16:44] <ubuntu937> auronandace: because that is where my boot is happening right now..
[16:44] <clrae> ioria ; yes but the network has wep encryption
[16:44] <ubuntu937> auronandace: there is no boot happening directly to my disk1
[16:44] <BitNova> does ubuntu mount the root / if the user hasnt logged in yet?
[16:45] <auronandace> ubuntu937: just backup the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and then enterthe appropriate parts in the new grub at /etc/grub.d/
[16:45] <ioria> clrae, try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1495908
[16:46] <auronandace> BitNova: what do you mean? / is always required, that is where the whole system is
[16:46] <BitNova> auronandace, are you familiar with ESXI at all?
[16:47] <auronandace> BitNova: sorry, no
[16:47] <ubuntu937> okay
[16:47] <ubuntu937> auronandace:

[16:48] <BitNova> auronandace, i want to ssh with plink into esxi to be able to shutdown the esxi server when apcupsd detects power failure, but the script doshutdown which is where i used ssh doesnt run before ubuntu logs in, only after i login ubuntu and then when i restart apcupsd daemon, will it detect that there is a power failure and shutdown my esxi server.
[16:49] <illimar> suht vinge  pask
[16:49] <BitNova> before login, the script runs but doesnt shutdown.. is there a way to see what happened auronandace ?
[16:49] <zobair> hello

[16:52] <stiv2k> does anybody know how to change the power settings for the login screen... i.e. when to put the display to sleep and when to put the computer to sleep? For some reason the monitor goes to sleep VERY quickly, like in a few seconds, at the login screen

[17:00] <surgy> hello
[17:01] <surgy> i work with arduinos and ubuntu 14.04 lts with unity. i have to open the arduino ide with sudo everytime or else it wont be able to connect to the arduino via usb. how do i set the permissions of all of my usb ports so that any user of this computer can access them?
[17:02] <auronandace> !arm | surgy
[17:02] <surgy> can i just sudo chmod 777 /dev/usb
[17:02] <surgy> auronandace: thats not relevant
[17:02] <TheNumb> auronandace: most of the arduinos are not arm based though.
[17:02] <TheNumb> surgy: I think I've seen a tutorial.
[17:02] <surgy> and its not an issue with the arduino anyways
[17:03] <auronandace> TheNumb: oh, sorry, i thought they were an arm device
[17:03] <TheNumb> surgy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-make
[17:03] <TheNumb> auronandace: some of those do have an arm SoC ;p
[17:03] <TheNumb> surgy: ubuntu-make can install arduino ide for you. I guess it'll adjust the udev settings too.
[17:03] <TheNumb> s/settings/rules
[17:04] <surgy> TheNumb: but i have a nice ubuntu setup already and i have the arduino ide installed already
[17:05] <TheNumb> surgy: id your user in dialout group?
[17:05] <surgy> ?
[17:05] <auronandace> surgy: id
[17:05] <TheNumb> surgy: did you add your user to the "dialout" group?
[17:05] <surgy> TheNumb: no
[17:06] <surgy> TheNumb: idk what that is :)
[17:06] <TheNumb> Please do that, then log out and try again.
[17:06] <TheNumb> Then you should be able to connect to the arduino without running the ide as root.
[17:07] <TheNumb> surgy: also, there is a help page for arduino... http://playground.arduino.cc/Linux/Ubuntu
[17:07] <TheNumb> surgy: using a search engine doesn't hurt. Really ;-)
[17:09] <Cyb3rn3t> hi all !
[17:09] <surgy> TheNumb: really that doesnt answer my question either and i did use a search engine. thanks though.
[17:09] <ibtisam> #ita-foss-project
[17:09] <Cyb3rn3t> Can somebody help me plz ?,
[17:09] <TheNumb> surgy: it does answer your question.
[17:10] <auronandace> Cyb3rn3t: to help we need to know what is wrong
[17:10] <auronandace> surgy: what does id in a terminal show
[17:10] <Cyb3rn3t> I have a Lenovo T520, and ubuntu 15.04x64,
[17:10] <TheNumb> surgy: "i have to open the arduino ide with sudo everytime or else it wont be able to connect to the arduino via usb."
[17:10] <TheNumb> surgy: adding your user to the dialout group allows you to use /dev/usb as a user
[17:10] <Cyb3rn3t> It hase 2 special keys defult forward and backward,
[17:11] <Cyb3rn3t> and I would like use them as page-up/down
[17:11] <TheNumb> Cyb3rn3t: xmodmap
[17:11] <EriC^^> Cyb3rn3t: open a terminal and type xev
[17:12] <EriC^^> then press the keys and get their keycode
[17:12] <locksmith2> Hello -- How can I run 'ufw delete 4` without it asking if I am sure?
[17:13] <julian> 7e77
[17:13] <julian> hex
[17:13] <Guest14840> hello
[17:15] <Guest14840> hi
[17:16] <Cyb3rn3t> so I have the keycodes now (166,167)
[17:16] <dw1> anyone know why brasero would slow down burning duplicates to an image
[17:16] <locksmith2> ufw --force doesnt work
[17:16] <dw1> like, the first 2 disks were fast, but it's not even winding up anymore
[17:16] <dw1> just trickling
[17:17] <EriC^^> Cyb3rn3t: ok, xmodmap -e "keycode 166 = Prior" for pageup and Next for pagedown
[17:17] <linocisco> i got big problem setting up Canon LBP3050 with ubuntu 15.04 x64 for many days and not ok yet. I tried to install latest driver as per manual from canon site.http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100459601.html which is the latest one. but still having problem on status like "Idle - ccp send_data error, exit"
[17:18] <linocisco> I tried to do /etc/init.d/ccpd restart and /etc/init.d/cups restart many times and rebooted many times. it is still not fixed
[17:19] <Cyb3rn3t> EriC^^: so I created a new kemap file, and I found the page up/down,
[17:19] <Cyb3rn3t> EriC^^: so I add this words after the spec keys, and load this on every boot ?
[17:20] <EriC^^> yeah
[17:20] <EriC^^> you can add it to startup apps so it starts after the gui
[17:20] <Cyb3rn3t> EriC^^: sweet
[17:21] <mindbender1> Is there a way of knowing which repository a package belongs to in aptitude?
[17:22] <Cyb3rn3t> EriC^^: works, smooth, thank you :D
[17:22] <EriC^^> no problem
[17:26] <VINISH> Hi While installing ubuntu, in partition manager i can see a 16 gb of free space. How can i make ubuntu install into that space? Without affecting any other partions
[17:27] <Cyb3rn3t> it is strange, that I changed my notebook from AMD cpu to a Intel CPU notebook in the same chategory, and my ubuntu is running much smoother, faster than on the AMD version...
[17:27] <EriC^^> VINISH: create a ext4 partition and set the mountpoint to "/"
[17:27] <Kartagis> mindbender1: apt-cache policy <packagename>
[17:27] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: dont forget to create a swap, if you dont have already
[17:28] <VINISH> How to keep swap?
[17:28] <TheNumb> Cyb3rn3t: there's no need to create a swap partition.
[17:28] <TheNumb> He can make a swap file later on if he needs to.
[17:28] <Cyb3rn3t> thats true
[17:28] <Kartagis> how do I find out how large my swap partition is?
[17:28] <BluesKaj> mindbender1:  apt-cache policy packagename
[17:29] <Cyb3rn3t> Kartagis: free -m
[17:29] <EriC^^> Kartagis: free -m
[17:29] <Cyb3rn3t> :D
[17:29] <VINISH> should i split that fre space into two for swap and ext4?
[17:29] <EriC^^> VINISH: how much ram do you have and do you want to hibernate?
[17:30] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: if you just have 16Gig, I'd make it ext4 the all
[17:30] <VINISH> Ram is 4 gb
[17:30] <EriC^^> 4gb is ok i guess, 4gb swap would be nice though
[17:30] <BluesKaj> VINISH: then 6Gb is plenty for swap
[17:30] <EriC^^> and you can hibernate too
[17:30] <Cyb3rn3t> 4+xMB
[17:30] <mindbender1> Thanks.
[17:32] <VINISH> Ok then i wil lsplit into 10gb etx4 and 6gb swap?????
[17:32] <linocisco> I tried to do /etc/init.d/ccpd restart and /etc/init.d/cups restart many times and rebooted many times. it is still not fixed
[17:32] <linocisco> i got big problem setting up Canon LBP3050 with ubuntu 15.04 x64 for many days and not ok yet. I tried to install latest driver as per manual from canon site.http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100459601.html which is the latest one. but still having problem on status like "Idle - ccp send_data error, exit"
[17:32] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: just if you would like to use hybernate
[17:32] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: I would use S3 sleep mode instead of hybernate
[17:33] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: in this case U dont need 6G for swp
[17:33] <mindbender1> Related question. I added a nginx specific source.list in sources.list.d but it's packages are not showing up in aptitude. What might be wrong?
[17:34] <mindbender1> That's after running update.
[17:34] <VINISH> OK, one more query, it is also asking "device for boot loader installatio" which location should i select for that
[17:34] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: swap is used to 1, if you ran out of ram with the application...2, hibernate
[17:34] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: what OS do you have on that box ?
[17:34] <VINISH> Can i create swap later?
[17:34] <EriC^^> VINISH: select the usb /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc etc.
[17:35] <linocisco> one strange thing i found using lsusb is I found LBP3010B printer instead of mine LBP3050
[17:35] <VINISH> Its Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
[17:35] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: you can create swap later, if you keep free space for it
[17:36] <VINISH> By default it selected /dev/sda
[17:36] <BluesKaj> mindbender1:  why aptitude, use apt or apt-get
[17:36] <VINISH> how much space does boot loader takes?
[17:36] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: so what is the harddrive wher you install this OS ? sda ?
[17:36] <EriC^^> VINISH: what is /dev/sda ? it will overwrite the mbr
[17:37] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: /dev/sda will overwrite the masterboot record, but it is no so dangerosi as it sounds
[17:37] <mindbender1> BluesKaj: I use aptitude because I might not know which version of the packages are available.
[17:37] <VINISH> in /dev/sda i have created new partion called /dev/sd7 (type ext4)
[17:37] <VINISH> and also i want use the windows parallely....
[17:37] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: once you did, you can just boot up your new OS until you ran this on the booted OS: sudo update-grub
[17:38] <EriC^^> VINISH: you have windows on another disk?
[17:38] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: this will detect your attached hdds, and OSs on it, and put them to the grub menu
[17:38] <mindbender1> Or even what the package name looks like
[17:38] <EriC^^> VINISH: if you're installing to a 16gb usb, then install the bootloader there, not on the windows disk
[17:38] <VINISH> so i dont need to change the bootloader loaction?
[17:38] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: EriC^^ is right
[17:39] <EriC^^> VINISH: what is the usb's name? and what is the windows disk name?
[17:39] <VINISH> ok ill installl ubuntu in new 16gb partion and boot loader in /dev/sda
[17:39] <EriC^^> sda is the usb?
[17:39] <VINISH> how much space does bootloader requires?
[17:40] <EriC^^> VINISH: nothing bro, it's like 16bytes
[17:40] <_krav> Anyone else using Spotify on ubuntu?
[17:40] <VINISH> no its showing my whole HDD space in bootloader
[17:40] <_krav> And finding a lot of sections under "main" missing? (like Browse, Genres, etc.)
[17:40] <VINISH> ok thanks
[17:40] <VINISH> Im proceding with installation
[17:40] <VINISH> will be back soon
[17:40] <Cyb3rn3t> VINISH: good luck
[17:43] <linocisco> i got big problem setting up Canon LBP3050 with ubuntu 15.04 x64 for many days and not ok yet. I tried to install latest driver as per manual from canon site.http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100459601.html which is the latest one. but still having problem on status like "Idle - ccp send_data error, exit"
[17:48] <BluesKaj> mindbender1:  that should make no difference. aptitude is old and not as stable as apt and apt-get, but all 3 are part of the dpkg package manager system, so they all refer back to dpkg in the repos for the package names when installing
[17:49] <mindbender1> BluesKaj: you are right I just thought about it. I could use tab to get a list of alternatives
[17:50] <BluesKaj> aptitude used to have a resolving advantage many yrs ago, but that's no longer the case
[17:50] <mindbender1> Morevover, it turned out the line I had in list was for stable. I updated it to include mainline for nginx which solves it for me.
[17:51] <mindbender1> BluesKaj: thanks for the heads up!
[17:52] <BluesKaj> mindbender1:  you're welcome
[17:55] <stiv2k> does anybody know how to change the power settings for the login screen... i.e. when to put the display to sleep and when to put the computer to sleep? For some reason the monitor goes to sleep VERY quickly, like in a few seconds, at the login screen
[17:56] <dw1> lshw says: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
[17:56] <dw1> any ideas?

[18:00] <auronandace> !touch | HoloIRCUser9

[18:01] <abeautifulmime> hi
[18:01] <abeautifulmime> i've a live usb install of lubuntu
[18:02] <abeautifulmime> but i'm getting input/output error every time i rty to execute a command
[18:02] <abeautifulmime> and many programs are crashing
[18:02] <abeautifulmime> i've no persistence configured
[18:02] <abeautifulmime> how can i resolve this ?
[18:02] <OerHeks> abeautifulmime, check the iso for errors, with md5sum
[18:02] <OerHeks> !md5sum
[18:03] <abeautifulmime> uh
[18:03] <abeautifulmime> but my only os is the one that i'm running from live usb
[18:03] <abeautifulmime> there is no img
[18:03] <abeautifulmime> if you see what i mean
[18:03] <k1l_> abeautifulmime: is it a live install or a real install on usb?
[18:04] <abeautifulmime> live install
[18:04] <abeautifulmime> i also changed memory recently
[18:04] <abeautifulmime> not sure if that could be responsiblre
[18:04] <k1l_> yes
[18:05] <k1l_> the live install loads into the ram. if the ram is not working properly that is a cause for that
[18:05] <OerHeks> There is a memtest86 on your live iso
[18:07] <roggo> whats the name of the paint program in ubuntu? not gimp, there is a ms paint like one
[18:07] <OerHeks> roggo, libre office draw, but there are tons more in softwarecenter
[18:08] <highmindedlowlif> maybe tuxpaint
[18:08] <k1l_> or "pinta"
[18:09] <k1l_> !info pinta
[18:09] <OerHeks> pinta is a nice one indeed. or Krita.
[18:10] <dft> g'day
[18:12] <roggo> pinta yes!
[18:12] <roggo> ty
[18:18] <xheart> hi.
[18:18] <xheart> why my pc ubuntu14.94 is not sycronizing with the correct date and time? i tried changing them manually but no luck.
[18:18] <xheart> *14.04
[18:19] <Bashing-om> xheart: Dual booting with Windows ?
[18:19] <highmindedlowlif> Can anyone give me suggestions for the proscribed language/toolkit for developing Ubuntu desktop applications. I've tried quickly but couldn't get into it.
[18:19] <xheart> no windows
[18:19] <xheart> just ubuntu 14.04
[18:20] <Bashing-om> xheart: Next then is the time in bios correct .. maybe time to change the CMOS battery ?
[18:20] <xheart> can be...
[18:21] <xheart> is there a sudo command to correct the date?
[18:21] <bekks> xheart: sudo ntpdate e.g.
[18:21] <Bashing-om> xheart: The OS reads the hardware clock, if it is not correct in bios, well not be correct in the operating system .
[18:23] <xheart> bekks is that commend correct?
[18:23] <bekks> xheart: As designated, it is an example. Running random commands will not solve your issue.
[18:23] <xheart> ok
[18:24] <g4b1t> the default command for syncing with ubuntu servers is sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
[18:30] <dm_comp> what acronyms do you use for backups. like today.bckup?
[18:31] <bekks> dm_comp: "daily backup". No acronym needed :)

[18:38] <_krav> Anyone else using Spotify on ubuntu? (and having issues with some sections)
[18:38] <lotuspsychje> _krav: best to state your specific issue to the channel
[18:38] <_krav> some of the default spotify "apps"/sections are missing including "Browse", "Genres", etc.
[18:40] <lotuspsychje> _krav: how did you install spotify, ubuntu version?
[18:46] <_krav> i did install the ubuntu version
[18:47] <k1l_> _krav: talk to spotify about that, its their app
[18:50] <BluesKaj> _krav: does spotify use it's own "browser' ?
[19:00] <_krav> hmm
[19:00] <_krav> not sure but it feels like it
[19:00] <_krav> some other pages work and appear as selections
[19:00] <_krav> playlist-based pages or top-X pages
[19:01] <_krav> though it could
[19:01] <_krav> i found you could type "spotify:app:browser" in the search field to get to the browser directly, but i get a blank page, a loading and then nothing
[19:02] <_krav> so you may be onto something
[19:02] <_krav> if it does use a browser maybe something is blocking it
[19:02] <lotuspsychje> _krav: try k1l_ sugestion #spotify
[19:04] <clrae> where can i download lubuntu-desktop package ? , i want to download it to usb and unpack/install it manually without internet access
[19:04] <_krav> i really gotta turn off join/leave messages
[19:04] <_krav> theyre crazy in this channel lol..
[19:04] <highmindedlowlif> Hi, the screen on my laptop is broken so I use an external monitor but the monitor doesn't display anything until I get all the way to the desktop. I'm using LXDE and want to change to Unity but the greeter won't display. Can I set it to go straight to Unity from the cli?
[19:04] <abeautifulmime> hello
[19:04] <abeautifulmime> i have an ubuntu live install
[19:04] <abeautifulmime> lubuntu
[19:05] <lotuspsychje> !info lubuntu-desktop | clrae
[19:05] <abeautifulmime> but im getting squashfs errors on reboot
[19:05] <abeautifulmime> and programs are crashing randomly
[19:05] <abeautifulmime> or im getting input output errors in the console
[19:05] <k1l_> abeautifulmime: either your usb stick is dying or the memory
[19:05] <abeautifulmime> what can i do
[19:05] <bekks> abeautifulmime: So your live install is corrupted. Create a new one.
[19:05] <abeautifulmime> i did replace the memry recently
[19:05] <lotuspsychje> !xrandr | highmindedlowlif tryed this?
[19:06] <k1l_> abeautifulmime: was ist ok before the memory replacement?
[19:06] <abeautifulmime> how can i verify if it is ram or usb
[19:06] <k1l_> abeautifulmime: run memtest, like told before
[19:06] <owen1> my mouse don't highlight anything on my laptop's monitor. i can click on things but not highlight and it's fine on my external monitor. any ideas?
[19:06] <abeautifulmime> yes
[19:06] <niva1> hi I have 2 lvm volumes inside a dmcrypt, I want to expand one of the two lvm volumes and I sm using this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions#Enlarge_an_encrypted_partition
[19:06] <niva1> I am stuck
[19:06] <abeautifulmime> it was ok before memory replacement but ive had no problems with the ram for a few days
[19:07] <abeautifulmime> its only today that it occurred
[19:07] <niva1> in the 11 Resize the (LVM) Physical Volume.
[19:07] <k1l_> !memtest | abeautifulmime
[19:07] <niva1> it gives me Insufficient free space: 1024 extents needed, but only 0 available
[19:07] <OerHeks> abeautifulmime, hardware happen to break,so did you perform a memtest86 test?
[19:07] <clrae> ubottu ; why is it so small only 2 kB , shouldnt it be 500 mb or so ? am not going to install iy from the  net
[19:07] <lotuspsychje> owen1: did you mirror screens?
[19:07] <abeautifulmime> no ive not done one before
[19:07] <k1l_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FaultyHardware  abeautifulmime
[19:08] <k1l_> abeautifulmime: talking or wishing doesnt help in your situation. make the memtest
[19:09] <allizom> clrae: you'll need to fetch dependencies as well. ubottu is a bot anyway
[19:09] <clrae> allizom ; can you explain more ?
[19:09] <lotuspsychje> clrae: you can sudo apt-get download lubuntu-desktop perhaps
[19:11] <niva1> any ideas on how to expand it ?
[19:11] <allizom> clrae: the package you are after is dependent on many others. you need to install them too
[19:12] <highmindedlowlif> lotuspsychje, if I am stuck on the login screen and can't see my desktop, can I use xrandr from a virtual terminal to change where X is displaying to?
[19:12] <clrae> allizom ; i just want to install GUI interface , so i can get out of the command prompt
[19:13] <owen1> lotuspsychje: not mirror
[19:13] <allizom> clrae: what did you install? ubuntu server?
[19:13] <lotuspsychje> clrae: could try a small one like blackbox
[19:13] <lotuspsychje> owen1: try mirror
[19:15] <clrae> allizom ; do i need to "sudo dpkg -i " every packege one by one ?
[19:15] <abeautifulmime> thanks k1l_
[19:15] <owen1> lotuspsychje: sure, just for the sake of investigating? i don't want mirror most of the time.
[19:15] <abeautifulmime> ::)
[19:15] <lotuspsychje> highmindedlowlif: how is your machine connected to the external monitor?
[19:15] <ikonia> clrae: use apt-get it will resolve dependencies or you
[19:16] <clrae> ikonia : i want to do it manually , isnt there any way ?
[19:16] <allizom> clrae: put them in a folder, cd and then do "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"
[19:16] <ikonia> why do you want to do it manually ?
[19:16] <clrae> ikonia ; without internet access ?
[19:16] <ikonia> why make a problem foryourself ?
[19:16] <ikonia> clrae: even without internet access, if you make a repo for the packages you can do an apt-get
[19:16] <ikonia> the easy solution would be to get internet access
[19:16] <k1l_> clrae: with such a big meta package like the lubuntu-desktop, its most easy to get that machine to internet
[19:16] <ikonia> or use an ubuntu install CD to either install the packages, or install ubuntu with a desktop in the first place
[19:16] <Darrell> Anyone here happen to be a testdisk pro? I'm trying to save myself some time and create a "backup.log" file out of a "testdisk.log" file.  Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
[19:17] <clrae> ikonia ; i dont have ethernet cable nor i could configure wifi
[19:17] <highmindedlowlif> lotuspsychje, VGA port. Old school. I just went to a virtual terminal and did export DISPLAY=:0 and tried to set the display via xrandr but it just says "failed to change screen configuration"
[19:17] <lotuspsychje> clrae: you could work with aptoncd also to backup the stuff you want offline
[19:17] <ikonia> clrae: so use an ubuntu install CD to either a.) install the packages as a repo b.) re-install ubuntu/lubuntu/whatever with a desktop installed already
[19:18] <clrae> k1l_ ; if it is possible i am willing to do it , please tell em how
[19:18] <allizom> clrae: did you install server or desktop?
[19:18] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i tried mirroring and the problem persisted. i just fonud out that it's not the monitor of my laptop. it's only chrome. firefox is fine!
[19:18] <k1l_> clrae: get the huge load of package manually, then use dpkg -i on the packages
[19:18] <k1l_> clrae: good luck
[19:18] <lotuspsychje> owen1: thats weird then
[19:19] <ikonia> just download an ubuntu/lubuntu install CD , it will be a repo, and then you can just do apt-get lubuntu-desktop
[19:19] <owen1> lotuspsychje: also it's only my mouse. not my touchpoint!
[19:19] <ikonia> simple, job done
[19:19] <lotuspsychje> Darrell: can you tell us what your trying to do in the first place?
[19:19] <ioria> clrae, you can try the lxde.iso from here http://lxde.org/download/   (don't know if you can install it, it's a live )   or we can try to make your wifi working ....
[19:19] <hecatae> Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-65-generic x86_64) < anyone know if that is the latest kernel for trusty?
[19:19] <lotuspsychje> owen1: try create a new user, and test it from there?
[19:19] <clrae> <k1l_ ; can you please refer me where i can download the packeges  needed for lubuntu-desktop
[19:19] <Darrell> recover a couple of corrupted partitions on a 500gb hard drive.
[19:20] <highmindedlowlif> lotuspsychje, there must be some configuration file somewhere that I can change if I just knew what it was
[19:20] <ikonia> clrae: download a lubuntu install CD
[19:20] <Darrell> or "deleted" I should say
[19:20] <ikonia> clrae: mount it - and then just apt-get lubuntu-desktop
[19:20] <k1l_> clrae: packages.ubuntu.com
[19:20] <lotuspsychje> Darrell: i would reccomend to scan the whole hd with photorec to recover
[19:20] <owen1> lotuspsychje: ok. thanks!
[19:21] <ioria> clrae, already posted http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/lubuntu-desktop
[19:21] <lotuspsychje> highmindedlowlif: i dont fully understand whats happening sorry, attaching external monitor should already give you 'screen' at POST booting
[19:21] <Darrell> oops, ignore that
[19:21] <lotuspsychje> Darrell: /query nick
[19:22] <highmindedlowlif> lotuspsychje, thanks. Yeah, I know it's weird. Only laptop I've ever seen that doesn't do that. I'll figure it out. I'm exploring the /etc/lightdm directory as we speak. Wish me luck.
[19:22] <lotuspsychje> highmindedlowlif: maybe a fresh install would fix that out right to your external
[19:23] <lotuspsychje> Darrell: sudo photorec and scan whole partitions
[19:24] <Darrell> lotuspsychje: I scanned the disk earlier this morning using testdisk and found the needed partitions, however I managed to choose one incorrectly. I already have all the required info from the testdisk.log file, I just need to know how to use the included info to make a backup.log file from that info. Rather than waiting another four hours for the scan to complete.
[19:25] <lotuspsychje> Darrell: testdisk is to test the hd, photorec to recover
[19:25] <lotuspsychje> Darrell: photorec wont scan hours for 500gig
[19:25] <lotuspsychje> Darrell: try a fresh scan :p
[19:26] <Darrell> I understand this, but until the partition tables are correct it won't do anything. Correct?
[19:26] <lotuspsychje> Darrell: try it, see for yourself
[19:28] <lotuspsychje> highmindedlowlif: you could try a liveusb of ubuntu, see if it would make your external screen work right away
[19:29] <sorinello> Hello. Can someone tell me how well supported is digital out (coax or optical) in ubuntu ? are there drivers that support these ports ? I am talking abou integrated SPDIF ports in the motherboard
[19:29] <Bashing-om> hecatae: Yes it is : uname -r >> 3.13.0-65-generic . Non HWE .
[19:30] <hecatae> Bashing-om:  thank you
[19:30] <Bashing-om> hecatae: :)
[19:31] <lotuspsychje> sorinello: in most cases ubuntu will load up needed drivers automaticly
[19:32] <sorinello> lotuspsychje, I have a certain motherboard with a Realtek chipset, but I can't find it on the alsaproject how well this chipset is supported
[19:32] <linocisco> hi
[19:32] <linocisco> who is using ruby on rails on ubuntu?
[19:32] <linocisco> I am so confused with what I have installed during one day ruby on rails course which included vagrant,atom and vm .I can't decide which are really located where
[19:32] <lotuspsychje> sorinello: test it out on liveusb?
[19:33] <sorinello> lotuspsychje, yeah.. good point :) thanks
[19:33] <lotuspsychje> sorinello: just make sure your connected to internet + updates maybe choose LTS
[19:33] <sorinello> lotuspsychje, aren't these drivers bundled with the kernel ?
[19:33] <lotuspsychje> sorinello: what kind of plans do you have with the infrared
[19:34] <sorinello> lotuspsychje, not infrared. I want to switch from analog to digital, and I want to see if Linux supports my obo's realtek chipset
[19:34] <lotuspsychje> sorinello: ok try the live then :p
[19:38] <abeautifulmime> k1l_ i ran dd to copy to usb in cygwin but its not showing up
[19:38] <highmindedlowlif> lotuspsychje, I'll try that. Thanks.
[19:38] <lotuspsychje> linocisco: did you try the #ruby chanel?
[19:39] <linocisco> lotuspsychje, ruby and rubyonrails are not the same
[19:39] <linocisco> lotuspsychje, i m also checking rubyonrails channel
[19:40] <k1l_> abeautifulmime: try another usb pen drive. this might be broken
[19:40] <lotuspsychje> linocisco: can this help you get started: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/ruby-on-rails.html
[19:40] <abeautifulmime> HMM
[19:40] <abeautifulmime> ok
[19:40] <lotuspsychje> linocisco: or the #ubuntu-server guys
[19:41] <abeautifulmime> k1l_ it may be a cygwin issue
[19:41] <abeautifulmime> i can copy to the drive in windows
[19:42] <abeautifulmime> logically speaking it sounds like a cygwin problem
[19:42] <linocisco> lotuspsychje, ok
[19:42] <prock> i had installed ubuntu to a usb stick, ext4, not unetbootin etc, and doing some updates, the process messed up, and now in the usb sticks grub menu it only has memtest, how to correct this
[19:45] <lotuspsychje> prock: is this a liveusb or persistent usb?
[19:46] <prock> live usb installed to another usb (Try Ubuntu / Install Ubuntu) -> install
[19:46] <lotuspsychje> prock: how did you create the liveusb?
[19:47] <prock> so its persistant with no persistance file
[19:47] <prock> dd
[19:47] <prock> my install would be the same as a hdd, but no swap
[19:48] <Sacrelicious> question for all
[19:48] <Sacrelicious> is there a program that will allow me to route a call from skype into audacity?
[19:48] <lotuspsychje> prock: not sure i follow sorry, maybe someone else can solve this
[19:49] <lotuspsychje> Sacrelicious: whats your end goal with this
[19:49] <lotuspsychje> Sacrelicious: record a call?
[19:50] <popey> Sacrelicious: do you man, "record a skype call"?
[19:50] <popey> *mean
[19:50] <prock> lotuspsychje: forget how im booting and think of a normal install, do updates, the inital ones from clean install, the process messes up along hte way, mostly done thow, and then grub menu only has memtest+ option
[19:51] <popey> prock: boot to another live install, insert your broken usb, chroot to the broken one and reinstall grub
[19:52] <Sacrelicious> lotuspsychje, yeah just recording the audio output of a skype audio call
[19:52] <Bashing-om> prock: I would in that case boot up a liveDVD, mount the install's root partition and list the contents of /boot . If kernels are present, CHroot into the install and re-install grub .
[19:52] <prock> hold phone up to computer lol
[19:52] <popey> Sacrelicious: two ways to do that, one is "skype call recorder" which works well, the other is an app called AudioRecorder - I have used both, they're both great
[19:52] <prock> and if no kernel present? Bashing-om
[19:52] <Sacrelicious> excellent
[19:53] <popey> prock: in chroot you can reinstall whatever is missing
[19:53] <prock> whats the chroot commands, thats been a long time since i done that
[19:53] <Sacrelicious> popey, can i download them from terminal?
[19:53] <lotuspsychje> !chroot | prock
[19:53] <Bashing-om> prock: That would be a hairy situation .. Might try and install the newest kernel(s) and see what results .
[19:53] <clrae> ikonia ; you said " even without internet access, if you make a repo for the packages you can do an apt-get " can you tell me how to make a repo for the packages in a usb stck ?
[19:53] <popey> Sacrelicious: sure.
[19:54] <ikonia> clrae: download the lubuntu install media and make a "livecd" usb from it, it will then act as a repo for you
[19:54] <popey> Sacrelicious: http://atdot.ch/scr/ for skype call recorder, https://launchpad.net/audio-recorder for audio recorder
[19:55] <popey> ikonia: it will?
[19:55] <ikonia> popey: you can use it as a repo, yes, it installs the line in the sources.list
[19:55] <lotuspsychje> !info aptoncd | clrae or try this
[19:55] <Twirl> Hello, it seems extremely complicated to add fonts to ubuntu to use in programs such as Net beans and Android Development Studio, i followed a guide that explained how to open the fonts with FontForge and saving them without info and some other things but it doesn't work and everything is completely broken and time consuming, isnt there a site or repository to download fonts that will work out of the box in those IDEs?
[19:55] <ikonia> it's only got the minimum packages on though
[19:55] <popey> ikonia: but there's next to nothing in the repo
[19:55] <clrae> ikonia ; and then  plug the usb and  do apt-get  ?
[19:55] <prock> Bashing-om: how to get latest kernel
[19:55] <ikonia> popey: enough to install a desktop
[19:55] <ikonia> (as in the lubuntu desktop meta package)
[19:56] <popey> ikonia: nope
[19:56] <ikonia> popey: really ? the lubuntu install CD doesn't have the lubuntu desktop packages on
[19:56] <popey> ikonia: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/15.04/release/lubuntu-15.04-alternate-i386.list look at what is in pool
[19:56] <Bashing-om> !bcm
[19:56] <popey> ikonia: no, that's not how live cds work
[19:56] <ikonia> popey: I thought it still had the minimum packages on to do the lubuntu install
[19:56] <popey> nope
[19:56] <popey> the install is inside a compressed (casper) image
[19:56] <ikonia> wow, didn't know that
[19:57] <popey> oh, blimey, maybe I'm wrong
[19:57] <popey> lubuntu cd has way more than any other flavour, my apologies
[19:57] <popey> how odd
[19:57] <ikonia> thats the file system
[19:57] <ikonia> popey: no big deal,
[19:58] <rww> yeah, lubuntu is special about that
[19:58] <Twirl> Anyone knows a site with fonts to use in Netbeans/Android Development Studio that doesnt need to pass through fonts editors ?
[19:58] <rww> would be right for the rest of the flavors though
[19:59] <Sacrelicious> can i download skype call recorder from terminal?
[19:59] <Sacrelicious> popey, can i get it from terminal?
[19:59] <Twirl> Sacrelicious: its easier to use another recorder
[19:59] <Sacrelicious> Twirl, which one?
[19:59] <Twirl> Sacrelicious: audacity is the best
[19:59] <Twirl> in every sense
[19:59] <leevision> got a problem using backbox 4 with aircrack error fix channel mono -1
[19:59] <Sacrelicious> Twirl, i have audacity. i just dont know how to pipe in the skype call as an input?
[19:59] <popey> Sacrelicious: you can wget those debs and dpkg -i install them
[20:00] <ikonia> leevision: try the backbox support resources please, it's not something this channel supports
[20:00] <Twirl> Sacrelicious: well i use it with microphone/speakers so u might need to do a lil research
[20:00] <Sacrelicious> popey, i'm a noob...what do i type in terminal?
[20:00] <popey> Sacrelicious: the nice thing about skype call recorder is it's automatic, it just records every call. no need to launch audacity
[20:00] <Sacrelicious> popey, perfect - how do i install it?
[20:00] <leevision> there is no backbox support ubuntu invented Backbox
[20:00] <popey> Sacrelicious: you running 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu?
[20:01] <Sacrelicious> popey, 64 bit
[20:01] <ikonia> leevision: there is
[20:01] <ikonia> leevision: it's on a different network, it's listed on their support website,
[20:01] <k1l_> !backbox | leevision
[20:01] <popey> Sacrelicious: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12684485/
[20:01] <leevision> Aircrack is not a backbox only tool , Ubuntu has it too
[20:02] <popey> leevision: come back when you're runnimng ubuntu then
[20:02] <ikonia> leevision: it's not supported here, use the backbox channel, please.
[20:02] <clrae> what are the nesessary packages that i need to sudo dpkg -i  to get lubuntu GUI interface ?
[20:02] <ikonia> clrae: don't use dpkg -i
[20:02] <k1l_> leevision: we dont need to tell you 10 more times, do we? no. please use #backbox, thanks
[20:02] <ikonia> just apt-get the lubuntu-desktop meta package
[20:02] <clrae> ikonia : why ?
[20:02] <prock> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot is not cutting it
[20:02] <ikonia> so it will make it easy and quick for you
[20:03] <wafflejock> clrae: apt-get will get the dependencies for you no need to manually hunt them down
[20:03] <clrae> ikonia : where can i download lubuntu-desktop meta package
[20:03] <Bashing-om> prock: Look'n to see about you chroot link .
[20:03] <Sacrelicious> popey, thank you
[20:03] <popey> np
[20:03] <clrae> wafflejock; how long would it take if i do it manually ?$
[20:03] <ikonia> clrae: from the livecd I suggested earlier
[20:04] <ikonia> clrae: is this a clean install ?
[20:04] <prock> i need to give the mount path
[20:05] <leevision> ChanServ I killed thel and used ignore negative-one but could not get the handshake
[20:05] <prock> looks up gentoo's chroot, its perfict, im just making this usb stick for a friend cause his harddrive went bad
[20:05] <wafflejock> clrae: you can always just download the packages from the packages site directly but if you're online apt-get is way easier http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/lubuntu-desktop
[20:06] <ikonia> clrae: is this a "new" or "clean" install your trying to work with ?
[20:06] <clrae> ikonia>  where can i get/download the lubuntu install media and how to make a a "livecd" usb from it ??
[20:06] <lotuspsychje> he wants lubuntu-desktop for offline install
[20:06] <prock> Bashing-om: more like this : mount -t proc proc /mnt
[20:06] <prock> mount --rbind /sys /mnt
[20:06] <prock> mount --rbind /dev /mnt
[20:06] <wafflejock> clrae: http://lubuntu.net/
[20:07] <Bashing-om> prock: My method ' sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt - for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done - sudo chroot /mnt ' .
[20:07] <clrae> ikonia ; i installed the base system from mini iso and now i need the GUI interface Lubuntu envirenment
[20:07] <ikonia> clrae: ok - then I advise you to just re-install using a lubuntu CD, instead of the mini
[20:07] <ikonia> clrae: it will do everything for you then
[20:07] <ikonia> make it easy
[20:08] <rww> mini ISO amuses me, half the time I see people use it it turns out they do in fact need the non-mini stuff
[20:08] <wafflejock> yeah unfortunate you need a DVD for regular installs now though too
[20:08] <wafflejock> or USB
[20:08] <prock> sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt - for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done - sudo chroot /mnt
[20:08] <reisio> rww: what stuff?
[20:08] <wafflejock> old stuff is stuck with mini or whatever
[20:08] <prock> exactly like that ?^
[20:08] <rww> reisio: drivers, generally
[20:09] <prock> well XY lol
[20:09] <lotuspsychje> so whats the mini designed for to do exactly?
[20:09] <rww> wafflejock: eh, imho if your system's old enough that it doesn't support USB sticks, you might want to consider not using Ubuntu
[20:09] <rww> but that's just my personal opinion
[20:09] <Bashing-om> prock: Where sdXY is the target partition that hold the rppt file system .. as in sda1 .
[20:09] <clrae_>  ikonia ; i installed the base system from mini iso and now i need the GUI interface Lubuntu envirenment
[20:09] <Bashing-om> root*
[20:09] <wafflejock> rww: yeah never done it for anything but to see if it would run and any better than win 98 or whatever was on those machines
[20:09] <TJ-> clrae: if you've got a minimal system installed and booted then its just a case of "apt-get install lubuntu-desktop"
[20:09] <clrae_> ikonia : i dont have wifi working to install it , so i need to install it offline from a usb
[20:10] <ikonia> clrae: I suggest you forget that install, and just reinstall using a lubuntu install CD / usb
[20:10] <reisio> rww: what else would one use
[20:10] <k1l_> lotuspsychje: minimal base system where you can setup the minimum of packages that you think you need (instead of having a full desktop and stripping down packages afterwards)
[20:10] <rww> reisio: debian, obviously
[20:10] <TJ-> clrae_: is this the install that had the device I/O errors ?
[20:10] <k1l_> lotuspsychje: but if you isntall the big meta package anyway, you can use the full iso :)
[20:10] <lotuspsychje> k1l_: mostly for bandwith/data issues then?
[20:10] <reisio> rww: :p
[20:10] <Bashing-om> clrae_: A base minimal install requires 'xorg' to support the GUI ..
[20:10] <clrae_> TJ- ; No
[20:11] <clrae_> Bashing-om> so i need to install xorg , How ?
[20:11] <ikonia> clrae_: stop
[20:11] <ikonia> clrae_: to get working - do this simpley
[20:12] <ikonia> clrae_: 1.) download the lubuntu live image/install image from lubuntu.net b.) make install media c.) install lubuntu
[20:12] <ikonia> clrae_: it's that simple
[20:12] <k1l_> lotuspsychje: for advanced users who want differen DE/WM or such, or a minimal system. but most times users just load the heavy meta packages anyway, so that doesnt make sense
[20:12] <lotuspsychje> k1l_: ok tnx
[20:13] <Bashing-om> clrae_: Installing from base minimal is not for the faint at heart. A lot of prior prudent planning is involved . Not to say you can not do it .. just be prepared .
[20:13] <rww> out of interest, does debootstrap still work with Ubuntu?
[20:13] <clrae_> ikonia: no it is not , oh my god i need to explain again
[20:13] <k1l_> rww: why not?
[20:13] <rww> k1l_: i don't know, ubuntu breaks random stuff like that, was wondering if it was still supported
[20:13] <rww> and the relevant wiki article is from 2013 so...
[20:13] <lotuspsychje> rww: saw it come up on ubuntu-touch also
[20:13] <ikonia> clrae_: what is the actual problem ?
[20:14] <k1l_> clrae_: what ubuntu install is there installed where the wifi doesnt work? is it a regular desktop?
[20:14] <rww> ah, or there's the article on the *other* wiki which is linked from the first wiki but was last modified in 2012, nice
[20:15] <TJ-> rww: debootstrap is still the primary tool
[20:15] <rww> TJ-: thanks
[20:16] <clrae_> Bashing-om> ;  you see i hade to install using mini iso , i tried to install with the full lubuntu iso , but it dosnt work for some raeson get stuck in the proccess of the installation and it says i have a faulty hard drive , so i tried with the mini iso and this time it worked and i habe command line prompt ,  SO ALL i need now is  a graphical LUbuntu-desktop  interface to get going
[20:17] <ikonia> clrae_: if you have a faulty hard drive - the solution is not to use the mini iso, the solution is to get a new harddrive
[20:17] <TJ-> clrae_: On a non GUI system to use a non-open Wifi connection you need to manually configure the connection, eith via a Network Manager connection (if NM is installed), or more manually using /etc/network/interfaces and wpa_supplicant (which does the wifi-specific bits)
[20:17] <clrae_> ikonia ; no i dont have a faulty hard drive , prove i can install other OSs
[20:17] <ikonia> clrae_: then the normal install should work
[20:18] <ikonia> and if it doesn't - you need to fix/work through that
[20:18] <ikonia> using a mini install not a great solution
[20:18] <clrae_> ikonia ; why not ?
[20:18] <k1l_> clrae_: i already told you how you can achieve "your way". so what is the problem now?
[20:18] <TJ-> clrae_: ikonia  Bashing-om I looked at the logs - the installer reported an I/O error that inferred there was a faulty hard drive. In fact, kern.log showed the problem was in reading the squash FS from the installer media
[20:19] <ikonia> clrae_: because you're making a problem hard and will end up creating a problem for yourself rather than just fixing the problem
[20:19] <ikonia> TJ-: perfect, so faulty media
[20:19] <ikonia> thank you for doing the leg work
[20:20] <clrae_> k1l_; you said install the packages manually one by one , but i figured that would take so long ? how long is it gonna take me if i try to  install every packege with sudo dpkg -i
[20:20] <ikonia> clrae_: stop looking at that option
[20:20] <MJK72901> Hello
[20:20] <ikonia> clrae_: it will cause you problems
[20:20] <popey> clrae_: it's not the time, it's that it's likely to end in failure.
[20:21] <popey> clrae_: you are trying to subvert the package manager which is there to help you
[20:21] <MJK72901> Hi
[20:21] <k1l_> clrae_: you can name al packages in one line. but we already told you that this way is just plain too much work.
[20:22] <k1l_> clrae_: there is no "click here and it works" solution that you want. people in here did name some solutions. you dont like them, but they seem to be the best solutions
[20:22] <TJ-> !info apt-offline | clrae_: If you want to go head with the offline package install
[20:22] <mcerb> Why does wifi disable itself every time I try to enable it?
[20:22] <clrae_> k1l_ can you please write the command to install them in one line  in paste.ubuntu.com
[20:23] <ikonia> clrae_: no, please try to listen to the advice
[20:23] <ikonia> clrae_: ignoring what's been said and pressing ahead will end in a problem for you
[20:23] <k1l_> clrae_: no. that is too much work.
[20:23] <ikonia> clrae_: TJ- has done the work for you - your install media seemed to be bad
[20:23] <k1l_> clrae_: if you dont even want to do that work, why should i?
[20:23] <ikonia> clrae_: make new install media and just install lubuntu
[20:24] <TJ-> clrae_: for apt-offline see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Use_apt-offline
[20:24] <clrae_> k1l_  : it's not that i dont want , its that i dont know the proccess
[20:25] <TJ-> clrae_: What everyone is trying to tell you is it would likely be quicker, and less frustrating, to re-download a GUI Desktop installer, verify it on the install media (USB, DVD), and use it
[20:25] <ikonia> clrae_: ok - so id you don't know, please listen to advice, this is not the right way to do this
[20:25] <k1l_> clrae_: please see what TJ- linked you
[20:25] <k1l_> clrae_: the manual way is not really a solution. we just mentioned this since you  were annoying in asking that over and over again
[20:26] <mcerb> I have an hp split x2 and I can't get wifi to work
[20:27] <TJ-> clrae_: k1l_: ikonia If I recall correctly a day or so ago we tried to solve this, and it felt as if either USB or something else might be causing corruption of the read from the media. But I wasn't around to see if the ISO and media hash verification was done correctly. The system apparently works fine with other distros/installers so it appeared to be isolated to this particular attempt with Ubuntu rather
[20:27] <TJ-> than something systemic
[20:27] <ikonia> TJ-: great work, it seems logical for someone who is new to ubuntu to re-create the install media and try again as the easy solution to a working system
[20:28] <TJ-> ikonia: If I recall correctly that was what happened and the issue repeated, but as I say, I wasn't around later to see how things transpired.
[20:30] <lotuspsychje> mcerb: ubuntu version and wifi chipset?
[20:31] <mcerb> 15.04 and Intel corporation wireless 3160
[20:31] <mcerb> I got it working on mint but I can't remember how
[20:31] <lotuspsychje> mcerb: can you check driver= loaded with sudo lshw -C network
[20:32] <mcerb> driver=iwlwifi
[20:33] <lotuspsychje> mcerb: can you check syslog or dmesg at the time wifi disconnects when you try to connect?
[20:35] <TJ-> mcerb: what does "rfkill list" report?
[20:36] <mcerb> Dmesg says "iwlwifi 0000:07:00.0: L1 Disabled - LTR Enabled
[20:37] <mcerb> rfkill list says Soft blocked: no//Hard blocked: yes
[20:37] <TJ-> mcerb: "hard blocked" means the PC firmware has disabled it. Is there a hardware switch for controlling radio, or a function hot-key ?
[20:38] <TJ-> mcerb: Recently we've seen quite a few HP laptops with this bug in their firmware
[20:39] <mcerb> I pressed the wifi switch a bit and now it says hard blocked no
[20:39] <wontfixit> Hi! I want to disable system shutdown with not-root user in ubuntu 14.04. So, I add a consolekit.system.stop policy, but nothing happens. What did I miss?
[20:39] <TJ-> mcerb: so it's now Hard/Soft blocked = No ?
[20:41] <mcerb> TJ-: yes
[20:43] <lotuspsychje> mcerb, TJ- this looks like something usefull to try: https://askubuntu.com/questions/677621/no-wireless-connection-on-hp-pavilion-x360-convertible
[20:44] <TJ-> mcerb: /var/log/syslog should contain the messages from Network Manager/wpa_supplicant/dhclient regarding searching for/connecting to a Wifi Access Point. On 15.04 you may need to use 'sudo journalctl' instead
[20:44] <TJ-> mcerb: which Ubuntu release is it?
[20:46] <TJ-> lotuspsychje: I thought Intel had fixed all the 802.11n bugs in the iwlfifi firmware now
[20:46] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: <mcerb> 15.04 and Intel corporation wireless 3160
[20:47] <lotuspsychje> mcerb: did you install 15.04 with cable + updates during setup?
[20:49] <TJ-> mcerb: "Unsupported splx structure" is the result of an ACPI bug; I would strongly suspect you can fix it with w auitable "acpi_osi=xxxxxx" kernel parameter.
[20:49] <ubuntu931> why nice doesnt have any effect on my ubuntu 14.04?
[20:49] <TJ-> s/w auitable/a suitable/
[20:50] <lotuspsychje> ubuntu931: why nice?
[20:50] <ubuntu931> priority setting with nice command
[20:52] <ubuntu931> with or without nice command my script eats up as much cpu as is available
[20:52] <lotuspsychje> ubuntu931: maybe its just your script making the high load then?
[20:53] <lotuspsychje> ubuntu931: what kind of script and what are you trying to do?
[20:54] <ubuntu931> the script is just infinite loop echo hi, but top-command shows that it eats up all cpu even though i start it with nice -n 19 script
[20:55] <lotuspsychje> ubuntu931: maybe the ##programming guys can take a look at your script?
[20:55] <TJ-> ubuntu931: does 'ps -efly' show the process running the script has 19, or its parent process ?
[20:57] <nha> ubuntu931: as long as nothing else is running, that's the intended behavior
[20:57] <nha> ubuntu931: "nice" doesn't mean "use less cpu". it means "give (some) priority to other processes"
[20:58] <lotuspsychje> +1
[20:58] <ubuntu931> tj-: /bin/bash ./script has 19
[20:58] <nha> so if you were running more such infinite loops than you have cpu cores, and one of those loops is nice, then the nice loop should use less cpu than the others
[21:02] <ubuntu931> nha: i see.
[21:02] <ubuntu931> is nice the right command to keep /proc/loadavg values below 1.0 ?
[21:06] <lotuspsychje> mcerb: still here?
[21:07] <elosz> hello. If a file owned by root has permission 222, can root still read the file?
[21:11] <hexagonSun_> hello
[21:11] <lotuspsychje> hexagonSun_: welcome, how can we help you?
[21:11] <nha> ubuntu931: well, I think /proc/loadavg numbers are just something like an average over the number of processes in the run queue, so the answer to your question is "No" (a nice process running an infinite loop always wants to run, it's just that other processes running infinite loops have higher priority - it doesn't change the number of processes that want to run infinite loops)
[21:11] <hexagonSun_> lotuspsychje: have you ever installed VirtualBox on 14.04 LTS?
[21:12] <lotuspsychje> hexagonSun_: try to ask your specific issue in the channel mate
[21:13] <hexagonSun_> well, this is why I'm asking: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/3nhtdq/whats_the_deal_with_the_virtualbox_install_on/ I installed VirtualBox using the .deb file from their website, but it purged so many packages, it uninstalled (at least) 4 other programs from my computer
[21:14] <hexagonSun_> including php5 packages :s
[21:14] <lotuspsychje> hexagonSun_: you can install virtualbox right from the ubuntu repos
[21:14] <lotuspsychje> !info virtualbox | hexagonSun_
[21:14] <wonko451> Hi guys, got a question about modules when anyone has a minute
[21:14] <lotuspsychje> wonko451: ask your issue in the channel mate
[21:14] <hexagonSun_> that wouldn't need for the other packages to be purged?
[21:15] <lotuspsychje> hexagonSun_: its reccomended to install package versions, for your specific ubuntu version
[21:15] <ubuntu931> nha: ok
[21:15] <lotuspsychje> !latest | hexagonSun_
[21:15] <wileee> hexagonSun_, #rd party download not truly part of support here, however dependencies do this, just be aware of what you're doing.
[21:15] <wonko451> Ok, question is I have a raspberry pi running Volumio, debian under the hood, I know the modules I need to load, is there a way to load them and stay persistant across reboots other than recompiling the kernal?
[21:15] <wileee> 3rd*
[21:16] <hexagonSun_> lotuspsychje: yeah, I mean, the .deb file was specifically for 14.04 LTS "trusty"
[21:16] <wileee> wonko451, related to ubuntu how?
[21:16] <lotuspsychje> wonko451: ask this in #debian please
[21:17] <lotuspsychje> hexagonSun_: can you recall wich version?
[21:17] <hexagonSun_> wileee: I'm still kind of new to stuff... installing by ubuntu repo would be something like "sudo add-apt-repository multiverse" then "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get install virtualbox"? and that wouldn't need the packages to be purged?
[21:18] <hexagonSun_> lotuspsychje: virtualbox-5.0_5.0.4-102546~Ubuntu~trusty_i386
[21:18] <lotuspsychje> !info virtualbox trusty
[21:18] <lotuspsychje> hexagonSun_: read the latest trigger i pasted to you
[21:18] <wileee> Hexagen, vbox is in the ubuntu repos, you already have them onboard is all, be careful coming up with ideas rather than just asking, it makes it really hard to help.
[21:19] <hexagonSun_> I'm sorry if I don't fully follow you
[21:19] <hexagonSun_> I'm still learning. So, I need to install VirtualBox 4.3.10?
[21:19] <wonko451> okies, thanks
[21:19] <lotuspsychje> hexagonSun_: yes
[21:20] <hexagonSun_> lotuspsychje: how do I do that from command line?
[21:20] <wileee> hexagonSun_, If we spend tome giving you yes or no's to questions and you're guessing is what I mean, no biggie, just a subtle analysis of help models.
[21:21] <lotuspsychje> hexagonSun_: well try to uninstall previous vbox and install with sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[21:21] <imthenachoman> hello guys. i was wondering, if i was to do a fresh install of ubuntu and at the partition option mount /dev/sdb1 as ext4 /data, what would it's fstab look like?
[21:21] <lotuspsychje> !fstab | imthenachoman
[21:22] <wileee> imthenachoman, THis a data partition to be mounted within ubuntu boot?
[21:22] <imthenachoman> wileee: yes
[21:22] <imthenachoman> lotuspsychje: i know what fstab and all that is. i am wondering how ubuntu adds default entries
[21:23] <wileee> imthenachoman, Cool, just check the link and ask any more questions, it can be confusing.
[21:23] <lotuspsychje> imthenachoman: there are examples on that url
[21:23] <imthenachoman> wileee: that tuxfiles link doesn't work
[21:25] <wileee> imthenachoman, Yeah, the ubuntu wiki is your best help and any links there, fstab itself will have most of what you need to ee for this within other mounts.
[21:25] <wileee> see*
[21:26] <imthenachoman> wileee: i've checked those. none seem to tell me what Ubuntu WOULD have mounted it as. the only other way i can check is to do a fresh install again
[21:26] <wileee> imthenachoman, mounted it as means?
[21:26] <hexagonSun_> thank you both wileee and lotuspsychje for taking time to answer to me, now I have all of my programs working, including VirtualBox
[21:26] <wileee> cool
[21:27] <lotuspsychje> !yay | hexagonSun_
[21:27] <imthenachoman> wileee: what would the fstab entry for the drive look like if i had done a fresh install of ubuntu
[21:27] <wileee> imthenachoman, You actually have excellent help with lotuspsychje so lets let them do this really.
[21:28] <wileee> hare to confuse this is all
[21:28] <wileee> hate*
[21:30] <lotuspsychje> imthenachoman: this would be mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12685419/
[21:31] <imthenachoman> lotuspsychje: you only have one drive it looks like. i was wondering what the fstab is if there were 2 hd's at install
[21:32] <TJ-> imthenachoman: try this:  DEV=/dev/sdb1; echo "UUD=$(sudo blkid -s UUID -o value ${DEV}) /data $(sudo blkid -s TYPE -o value ${DEV}) defaults 0 2"
[21:32] <lotuspsychje> imthenachoman: same kind of line added, sdb, sdc
[21:32] <mrkie> is there any preinstalled program that supports .rar files to unpack?
[21:32] <Bashing-om> imthenachoman: An example of what the installer does " UUID=136af805-5758-4880-acc4-0e1d35e2c266 /var            ext4    defaults        0       2 " for a separate partition .
[21:32] <mrkie> i have ubuntu desktop
[21:32] <TJ-> imthenachoman: slight typo!  DEV=/dev/sdb1; echo "UUID=$(sudo blkid -s UUID -o value ${DEV}) /data $(sudo blkid -s TYPE -o value ${DEV}) defaults 0 2"
[21:32] <lotuspsychje> !info rar | mrkie
[21:32] <OerHeks> !info unrar
[21:33]  * OerHeks would not dare to install rar
[21:33] <mrkie> OerHeks :)
[21:33]  * lotuspsychje likes all ubuntu official packages :p
[21:34] <OerHeks> unrar is oke
[21:35] <imthenachoman> Bashing-om: thanks sir
[21:42] <quants> What are the commands to reset the operating system? I run 14.04 lts. Also can my software be saved?
[21:43] <lotuspsychje> quants: why do you want to reset?
[21:43] <quants> There seems to be to many issues going and I can't handle it
[21:44] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | quants
[21:44] <quants> All I want to do is get rid of any unnecessary files so the errors go away
[21:45] <quants> How do I recover?
[21:46] <hexagonSun_> thank you all! talk to you later
[21:46] <OerHeks> quants, there is no reset function in ubuntu/linux, if you messed up, reinstall.
[21:46] <TJ-> quants: either identify and fix the issues by analysing the log files, or reinstall fresh
[21:46] <Bashing-om> quants: The linux way is to fix the errors, the system provides lots of helps ; else one backs up personal data and re-installs . So, ya wanna fix ?
[21:48] <quants>  Well I think I'll reinstall as there are so many issues I can't fix, I am a noob :(
[21:49] <quants> I want to fix but it's all to much to cope with
[21:49] <Bashing-om> quants: Again my 2 cents. Fixing errors and soon one is no longer a noob .
[21:50] <TJ-> quants: when installing, choosing to separate /home/ to its own file-system makes reinstallation later much easier
[21:51] <quants> Agreed, It's the task seems so huge right now! Is there a way to do a clean of all the unnecessary crap?
[21:52] <OerHeks> quants, what is 'unnecassary crap'?? programs or what?
[21:52] <stegbth> hi,
[21:52] <stegbth> what means a ! in variables?
[21:52] <stegbth> for example: for in ${!mi*}; do
[21:53] <Bashing-om> quants: One starts with package management, get the system happy, then remove unwanted applications that you have installed . base system "should" remain the same . Else choose to install with a different DE .
[21:53] <TJ-> stegbth: In bash shell that expands to an array variable's key, instead of value
[21:54] <stegbth> TJ, what does the mean?
[21:54] <TJ-> stegbth: see "man bash" and the section on Arrays
[21:54] <quants> Bashing, I'll take a look at removing software I'm not using but the program manager isn't working
[21:56] <quants> The software centre even
[21:57] <Bashing-om> quants: Like said, that is the 1st thing . get the package manager happy . What results ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt-get -f install ' show the outputs in a pastebin and we see what it takes to make happy .
[21:57] <Bashing-om> !paste | quants
[21:57] <quants> Bashing ok I'll do that now for you
[21:58] <Bashing-om> quants: K; We are here to help you .
[21:58] <quants> You guys are great
[21:58] <stegbth> TJ, thank you, that was the point
[22:01] <dw1> hmm, win 7 doesnt recognize my ubuntu-made ntfs with very large files (5-6GB) on usb
[22:01] <dw1> it shows part of one file
[22:02]  * dw1 checks the copy again
[22:03] <Bashing-om> dw1: fat16 4 Gig limit ?
[22:03] <dw1> ntfs
[22:04] <dw1> another thing is when i copied two files totalling 13G the first file copied fast and the next one caused my CPU to spike to like 200% on both cores
[22:04] <dw1> 1. format usb stick to ntfs with disk tools 2. copy files to it 3. plug into windows
[22:04] <Bashing-om> dw1: opps, me and tunnel vision ..
[22:05] <OerHeks> dw1, copy 2 files simultaneously ?
[22:05] <dw1> guess it was <12G idk
[22:05] <dw1> yeah, via nautilus
[22:05] <dw1> file X of 2 and progress bar.. 40-15M/s to usb
[22:06] <dw1> but the files were there before i put it into windows
[22:06] <dw1> it wrecked em
[22:06] <OerHeks> I have seen that in the past too, one solution was copying one large file at the time.
[22:06] <dw1> i shall try it
[22:07] <Quantumpants> Bashing-om this is the result http://pastebin.com/VWafmS8m
[22:08] <k1l_> Quantumpants: so you are using kali? then ask the kali support please
[22:08] <Bashing-om> !kali
[22:09] <k1l_> especcially when the kali repos are beeing the issue here....
[22:09] <TJ-> dw1: Files get put in RAM cache when you're copying, then more slowly are flushed to the target device.  No can do that .
[22:13] <dw1> is it bad to cancel a sync? this one's not responding
[22:13] <Quantumpants> how do i fix my mistake?
[22:14] <TJ-> dw1: I'd expect the GUI too's 'eject' to ensure the same thing was done in the background. USB 2 writes very slowly so if you don't have to wait a few minutes for it to complete, it hasn't flushed
[22:14] <Quantumpants> please tell me its easy
[22:14] <dw1> it finished. :)
[22:14] <marek_> hello world
[22:15] <TJ-> dw1: best thing if unsure is open a terminal and run "sync"
[22:16] <dw1> yeah i always use the eject and figured that would do it but no the sync takes a little time
[22:17] <Bashing-om> Quantumpants: 'Fraid in this case there is no fix - dependency hell is what you are in for . RE-install is the only viable option in the long run .
[22:17] <Quantumpants> ok, thats cool. we all learn from our mistakes
[22:23] <Bashing-om> Quantumpants: ^ True, and it only makes one the stronger .
[22:24] <marek_> hello
[22:29] <marek_> l
[22:31] <Bashing-om> marek_: Hello, your support question ?
[22:44] <Sacrelicious> guys I just purchased a sanson meteor USB mic, its not being recognized by ubuntu, any advice?
[22:45] <Ben64> unplug it, wait a bit, plug it in, wait another bit, then pastebin the output of "dmesg | tail -n42"
[22:46] <quants> Bashing I'm on
[22:47] <Sacrelicious> Ben64, http://pastebin.com/GBRwabdz
[22:48] <Ben64> Sacrelicious: doesn't look good
[22:48] <Sacrelicious> Ben64 no dice?
[22:49] <Ben64> can't even see where you plugged it in, so many errors
[22:49] <Sacrelicious> any idea what the cause might be?
[22:49] <Sacrelicious> i'm going to try reboot...
[22:51] <V3rdant> Hi, I'm having real problems with my network connection. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and a kernel version of 3.16. I have a Dlink DWA-548 PCI network card. I normally have a speed of 1Mb/s. I know this isn't my network because my 5 year old laptop gets speeds of 65Mb/s. I tried blacklisting the driver and trying others. I even downloaded and installed a driver from https://github.com/agerwick/RT28XX-RT539X-Linux-driver . Whenever I used a dr
[22:51] <V3rdant> iver that was not the original one (rt2800pci) the screen would freeze or completely go black. The only thing I haven't tried is ndiswrapper. Do you guys have any other suggestions?
[22:52] <Sacrelicious> Ben64,  what was the string I typed before I rebooted?
[22:53] <Ben64> Sacrelicious: dmesg
[22:54] <Solarbaby> I have a luks encrypted usb hard drive connected to my Ubuntu 14.04 HTPC.  When pressing the power button to shutdown the HTPS I would like to initiate a shutdown script to unmount my hard drive.  Should I do this with upstart?
[22:54] <Sacrelicious> Ben64, http://pastebin.com/BdHS0zNj
[22:55] <pota> hi
[22:55] <Solarbaby> HTPC I think it what I meant to say ;)
[22:55] <Ben64> Solarbaby: the normal shutdown process unmounts all drives
[22:56] <Solarbaby> Ben64 my drive is mounted manually upon every start
[22:56] <Ben64> Solarbaby: ok?
[22:56] <Solarbaby> Its a luks encrypted drive. so a password is required for mounting only
[22:57] <Ben64> i'm not seeing the relevance
[22:57] <Sacrelicious> Ben64, thats the new output...different from the last output.
[22:57] <Solarbaby> Ben64 this drive is not listed in /etc/fstab
[22:57] <Solarbaby> or whatever it is
[22:57] <Ben64> Sacrelicious: yep, did you unplug and replug again
[22:58] <Ben64> Solarbaby: yes you've said that in like 3 different ways now, its still not relevant
[22:58] <Solarbaby> Ben64I used a script to unmount the drive
[22:58] <Sacrelicious> Ben64, yeah, and rebooted. still not reading it though
[22:58] <Solarbaby> Ben64: I get the feeling we're just not clicking here :)
[22:58] <Ben64> Solarbaby: you're not understanding
[22:59] <Solarbaby> Ben64: I would like to understand.  I know my drive doesn't unmount by itself.
[22:59] <Ben64> it does
[22:59] <Ben64> every mount gets unmounted during shutdown
[23:00] <Solarbaby> Ben64: is there a way I can prove what you say is true when it comes to my Luks encrypted usb hard drive?
[23:00] <Ben64> Sacrelicious: unplug, plug back in, paste dmesg again
[23:00] <Ben64> Solarbaby: its part of the shutdown process, everything gets unmounted
[23:01] <Sacrelicious> Ben64, http://pastebin.com/tDx0NCNw
[23:01] <Solarbaby> Ben64: sounds like I need to read up on this.  Thanks for the heads up on that.
[23:02] <Ben64> Sacrelicious: looks like it sees it now
[23:02] <Solarbaby> Ben64: I guess what I need to do then is run a script to verify that it has been unmounted before a shutdown finishes
[23:02] <Ben64> Solarbaby: no
[23:03] <Sacrelicious> Ben64, any idea why its not available as an input device, even in volume control?
[23:03] <Ben64> Sacrelicious: not sure, but look at lines 417,418 ... it shows up as an input device
[23:04] <Sacrelicious> Ben64, just showed up on my list of devices...i have no idea why it took so long... thank you for your help.
[23:04] <a4lfr32> hi
[23:05] <Lexicade> Is there a way to interact with another users currently existing screen?
[23:11] <Solarbaby> Ben64: Here is something I read from guardianprojects that has me a bit concerned stil. Probably should make a script run during shutdown to cleanly "luksClose" the encrypted partition and then umount them. Not doing this is probably very crazy
[23:12] <Solarbaby> they were referring to internal user encrypted data though
[23:12] <Solarbaby> might be so different that it's not relevent

[23:32] <CalebW> I'm trying to randomize my mac address on boot, but it's not working
[23:33] <Ben64> CalebW: why
[23:33] <CalebW> Why not?
[23:33] <Ben64> because there is no point
[23:34] <CalebW> Your device can't be tied to a certain mac
[23:34] <CalebW> Extra protection when browsing the web
[23:34] <Ben64> no, your mac address never makes it to the web
[23:35] <CalebW> It makes it to the router
[23:35] <Ben64> yep, so the only person who knows your mac address will be... you
[23:36] <CalebW> And the university blocked my mac address :/
[23:36] <Ben64> well then you should talk to the university
[23:36] <CalebW> Or I could just spoof my mac on boot
[23:36] <V3rdant> CalebW: Is this what you're looking for? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AnonymizingNetworkMACAddresses

[23:45] <Lexicade> Anyone know much about screens and seeting them up for multiusers?
[23:46] <V3rdant> Alright. Give me a second. I'm going to download Macchanger and see if I can get this to work. My laptop is also really terrible so we'll see how long this takes
[23:46] <user2> hi everybody, I need  some help. When I want to update it displays "There is not enough space left" then it says: " please use ... get clean" in fact it doesnt work out
[23:47] <Bashing-om> user2: Pastebin ' df -h ; df -i ' .
[23:48] <user2> ty, but nothing else?
[23:49] <Bashing-om> user2: That is to show where the space constraints are, depending then is what we do to get some operating room .
[23:52] <noturno-anonymou> oi
[23:52] <Bashing-om> user2: Do you need guidance on using "pastebin" ?
[23:53] <user2> yes, actually I am unexperienced when it comes to using linux
[23:54] <Bashing-om> user2: We all were at one time . No biggy, you will get over it .
[23:54] <Bashing-om> !paste | user2
[23:56] <Bashing-om> user2: ^ So do ' sudo apt-get install pastebinit ' to install the tool . once installed do ' df -h | pastebinit ' and ' df -i | pastebinit ' . the results will be URLs back in terminal. Pass those links back here in channel .
[23:58] <user2> I did something like that before. But it was way easier to do. Isn't ther a certain command for cleaning old files to get mre space for all the new data
[23:59] <Bashing-om> user2: IF df -h says that '/' root is full .. then there is a good chance that ' sudo apt-get autoremove' will resolve that situation .


[04:05] <akuma21> Hi!
[04:06] <akuma21> How are you doing?
[04:11] <Eickmeyer> !ask | akuma21
[04:17] <akuma21> I'm new here. what do you do here?
[04:17] <Eickmeyer> akuma21: This is the support channel for Ubuntu Studio. Offtopic/social conversation happens in #ubuntustudio-offtopic.
[21:43] <togo> my new ubuntu studio came with Parole Media Player preinstalled, which has 2 buglike strange behaviours: 1. there always is a colorful flickering bottom line on every video 2. only one instance can run?
[21:43] <Eickmeyer> togo: I answered you in #ubuntu.
[21:44] <togo> Eickmeyer, thanks!
[21:45] <togo> I noticed VLC it came with was buggy too, and the one I found in the software did not even update and replace but installed asside of it, and the new one fixes issue 2.
[21:47] <Eickmeyer> togo: That indeed sounds like a hardware issue if you're experiencing issues with two different video players.
[21:47] <Eickmeyer> Or, at least a video driver issue.
[21:47] <TJ-> ^^^^
[21:48] <togo> can you test if you can run more than one instance of VLC or Parole on your stock install?
[21:50] <togo> you never seen a flickering line at the bottom of your Parole?
[21:50] <togo> 1.04
[22:09] <Eickmeyer> togo: I never have flickering on my AMD, intel, or my Nvidia systems.
[22:10] <Eickmeyer> If you're using Nvidia, you might need to install the Nvidia driver.
[22:10] <Eickmeyer> Noveau has tearing issues in Xfce.
[22:14] <togo> its an AMD RV730 on a Dell Studio XPS1640 motherboard
[22:16] <Eickmeyer> Ok, so it should work OOTB. Try turning off compositing in window manager tweaks.
[22:29] <TJ-> the flickering line could be an artifact of video-overlay rendering seeing as it affects multiple applications
[22:31] <togo> TJ-, no the flickering is only on Parole, but on al videos I opend with it so far
[22:32] <togo> Eickmeyer, and tjhe composing switch doesn't change anything, or do I need to restart?
[22:33] <Eickmeyer> togo: No, the changes should be effective immediately.
[22:33] <Eickmeyer> togo: I'm going to have to send you back to #ubuntu for troubleshooting since this isn't related to Ubuntu Studio-specific software.
[22:33] <Eickmeyer> We just don't have the level of activity in here to help you troubleshoot this.
[22:33] <Eickmeyer> The only thing I can think of is that your video card is ancient.
[22:34] <Eickmeyer> togo: Your video card is from 2008.
[22:35] <Eickmeyer> I guarantee any support for it in the kernel is lost to bitrot. You need newer hardware, togo.
[22:36] <Eickmeyer> togo: Your computer also is ancient. Ubuntu Studio is not meant to bring life to older hardware. It's meant for high-performance modern machines.
[22:37] <Eickmeyer> The only reason we use a lightweight desktop is so that more resources can go to the high-performance programs.
[22:41] <TJ-> hmmm! I'm running it on ancient systems too, with no problems!
[22:41] <TJ-> runs ardour well for example
[22:41] <TJ-> i guess editing 4K video might be a tad slow
[22:51] <Eickmeyer> TJ-: Looks like a 2010 computer with a 2008 video card. I'd say that's beyond EOL for many purposes.
[22:52] <TJ-> flickering as describes sounds like a video overlay artifact issue, which is most likely a driver issue
[23:03] <togo> If anybody else had that line too much rendered would it have made it into some particular place to report it?
[23:13] <oerheks> RV730 .. HD 4670  ...?
[23:14] <oerheks> openradeon is good supported on 5xxx and higher
[23:24] <Eickmeyer> togo: The only thing I could come across was some past difficulty with that particular card back in 2013.
[23:35] <togo> I am going to install a few more players, since so far only Parole shows one bug, it likely is something specific with that package...
[23:36] <togo> Even video games run nice and 1080p on that machine
