[00:00] <EriC^^> jegarcia: apt-get source would get you the source of whatever program you wanted from the repos, also launchpad.net has ppa's and you can download the source from there
[00:00] <artois> MrKeuner: now I haven't personally tried to use Unix software to make one of those cute PDFs with the scan in the background and invisible digital OCR'd text on top, but I'm sure you can do that as well
[00:00] <artois> MrKeuner: tesseract is one that does the OCR, I'm not sure what peripheral features it has
[00:00] <jegarcia> EriC^^: i think i didin't explain myself well enough
[00:00] <artois> most Unix apps that do OCR are very Unixy indeed and do only the single job of OCR'ing an image
[00:00] <artois> that is, foo.bitmap becomes foo.txt
[00:00] <artois> been ages since I looked at them, though
[00:01] <jegarcia> So i have  alot of notes (vim xolo-notes)  , and i want to make that accessible/searchable/editable/curdable online
[00:01] <jegarcia> so all my team can browse it
[00:01] <jegarcia> and i wonder if there's any opensource project for something similar to it
[00:02] <artois> curdable?
[00:02] <jegarcia> create update remove delete
[00:02] <jegarcia> curd
[00:02] <artois> heh
[00:02] <artois> and whey means?
[00:02] <artois> so collaborative editing
[00:02] <jegarcia> that's the workd im looking for :)
[00:03] <jegarcia> also has to be internally hosted
[00:03] <artois> http://etherpad.org/ ?
[00:03] <artois> first hit
[00:03] <jegarcia> checking :)
[00:03] <jegarcia> that could work
[00:03] <artois> here's another: https://gobby.github.io/
[00:03] <artois> I imagine there are hundreds to choose from, really
[00:03] <jegarcia> but i'd like the data to be a little serialized
[00:03] <jegarcia> like a mini wikipedia
[00:04] <jegarcia> but easier and faster to edit
[00:04] <artois> you might just check apt-cache search first
[00:04] <artois> for one that's even in the repos
[00:04] <jegarcia> thanks artois
[00:07] <artois> jegarcia: I imagine #web might have some suggestions, even; haven't been there in ages
[00:09] <jegarcia> ill give it a go mate , thanks again
[00:12] <Seminarian> Cairo-dock works fine in unity.. When I do metacity --replace there's a big transparent bar covering pieces of the windows . So pieces of my desktop kinda overlap my (f.e.) firefox window.. Any ideas on how I can fix this behaviour?
[00:15] <MrKeuner> artois, can you suggest a tool that does --input=Foo.pdf --output=OCRedFoo.pdf
[00:17] <artois> MrKeuner: this looks real promising: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypdfocr
[00:29] <Rachael_> EriC^^, ok boot is now hanging at started update utmp about system runlevel changes
[00:30] <Rachael_> EriC^^, i can boot to tty in advanced mode, just no gui
[00:31] <Rachael_> EriC^^, I tried with and without the options on post 4 of this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2164313
[00:31] <stefano> h
[00:31] <Rachael_> EriC^^, i'm contemplating a fresh install :(
[00:33] <artois> MrKeuner: aha
[00:33] <artois> MrKeuner: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pdfsandwich&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[00:35] <MrKeuner> artois, thanks I'll try pypdfocr
[00:35] <MrKeuner> trusty here
[00:37] <EriC^^> Rachael_: if you don't have a lot of info a fresh install is probably better
[00:37] <artois> MrKeuner: anyway, looks like pdfsandwich for the long term, possibly; not that a python app won't work & last for ages, most likely
[00:37] <EriC^^> Rachael_: you could always back up your stuff in /home and the list of installed apps by apt-get and backup to your other hdd and fresh install and resore
[00:37] <EriC^^> *restore
[00:38] <MrKeuner> artois, I'll give it a chance after upgrading to latest LTS
[00:38] <polcuk> EriC^^: if only backups were easy.
[00:38] <Rachael_> EriC^^, just checked I have a backup from Thursday, how do I list the installed apps?
[00:38] <Rachael_> EriC^^, thankx heaps for your help with this
[00:38] <artois> bot used to have a clone factoidlet
[00:38] <MrKeuner> artois, do you think that package might work on Trusty?
[00:39] <artois> MrKeuner: easy way to find out
[00:39] <artois> MrKeuner: download it and dpkg -i it
[00:39] <EriC^^> Rachael_: it's a mouthful
[00:39] <artois> let's see what it's writ in ...
[00:39] <polcuk> They should update the distros daily. So on first install. You don't spend hours upgrading.
[00:39] <MrKeuner> yes, I'll try
[00:39] <EriC^^> Rachael_: comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u)
[00:39] <MonkeyDust> artois  http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi
[00:39] <SuperLag> If I've got a system with 64GB of RAM, do I really need 1x swap?
[00:40] <artois> MrKeuner: the python one should almost certainly, of course; checking pdfsandwich
[00:40] <EriC^^> Rachael_: you can redirect it to a file with comm -23 .......... > /path/to/file and then copy it to your other hdd
[00:40] <artois> SuperLag: not really, unless you want to theoretically hibernate 64 solid gigs of information
[00:40] <Rachael_> EriC^^,  sweet, can I run that from this OS?
[00:40] <EriC^^> Rachael_: no, you have to chroot into the install
[00:40] <polcuk> SuperLag: you would think distros would have swap inside the root partition. It's year 2016 already
[00:40] <artois> SuperLag: you could probably eliminate swap entirely, just deal with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swappiness etc. if you do
[00:41] <artois> polcuk: isn't it an install time option for Ubuntu?
[00:41]  * artois doesn't recall
[00:41] <Rachael_> EriC^^, apologies chroot?
[00:41] <k1l> SuperLag: do you want to hibernate?
[00:41] <artois> it's useful to have the potentially expendable swap partition space, though
[00:41] <polcuk> SuperLag: an auto size one to. That shrinks.
[00:41] <EriC^^> Rachael_: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt , then sudo chroot /mnt
[00:41] <k1l> polcuk: you can use a swapfile. since ages
[00:41] <artois> polcuk: just isn't much gain over a dedicated partition, really
[00:42] <polcuk> artois: it can be done. Not sure if it's an install option.
[00:42] <polcuk> k1l: make it a default install
[00:43] <MrKeuner> artois, dpki -i is a bad choice but gdebi installs it with all the dependencies taken from trusty repo
[00:43] <MrKeuner> artois, so it is installed!
[00:43] <Rachael_> EriC^^, excellent, tried the comm -23 returned error comm: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory
[00:43] <k1l> polcuk: that attitude gets the Foss hammer: make it yourself, its open source :)
[00:43] <EriC^^> Rachael_: oh, type exit
[00:43] <polcuk> SuperLag: nah.
[00:43] <polcuk> L
[00:44] <EriC^^> then type "  for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done  "
[00:44] <Jakey3> when i try to connect to a vpn i get the following error
[00:44] <SuperLag> polcuk: I still did 1x. I've got a 1TB drive. I'm being ridiculous, I think. However, I think it's still ridiculous that this much space is the default.
[00:44] <Jakey3> Can't find host 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org: Name or service not known (-2)
[00:44] <Jakey3> how do i resolve this issue
[00:44] <Seminarian> so i'm mounting a windows 8.1 iso with furius iso mount tool. All that's in the mount destination is a readme.txt with following content "This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system
[00:44] <Seminarian> that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification." Huh?
[00:45] <Rachael_> EriC^^, cool done, i undertsnad the letters, but not a clue what it means :)
[00:45] <neonixcoder> hay guys.. HISTIGNORE variable is not working in Ubuntu.
[00:45] <neonixcoder> Below is the command I am using.
[00:46] <neonixcoder> export HISTIGNORE='ls:history:pwd:p:w1:r1:su root:man'
[00:46] <neonixcoder> But I can still see those commands in my history command output
[00:46] <neonixcoder> Any thoughts?
[00:46] <k1l> SuperLag: you dont need a swap if you have that plenty and know you wont use that much swap. like when you dont use hibternation
[00:47] <SuperLag> k1l: yeah, this isn't a laptop
[00:48] <Rachael_> EriC^^, i've chroot back onto the drive, ran the code, and recieve a list of apps, is this list saved?
[00:48] <Rachael_> ls
[00:49] <artois> MrKeuner: not sure how it's a bad choice, but gj anyway
[00:50] <EriC^^> Rachael_: no, you have to add > /path/to/file at the end of it to save it
[00:52] <brainwash> neonixcoder: it works fine here. maybe check "echo $HISTIGNORE"
[00:52] <MrKeuner> artois, sorry didn't want to blame. dpkg -i doesn't install the package as there is dependencies. dpkg cannot resolve them automatically. gdebi does, that's what I wanted to say
[00:53] <Jakey3> when i connect to my openvpn from an ubuntu machine i get the following error. Can't find host 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org: Name or service not known (-2), any idea, it connects but no access to the internet
[00:54] <neonixcoder> brainwash: I dont know what is happening. I see output as the commands what I assigned to that variable.
[00:55] <MrKeuner> artois, currently runnoing find /ScannedDocs -iname "*.pdf" -exec pdfsandwich {} ';' :)
[00:55] <neonixcoder> echo $HISTIGNORE
[00:55] <neonixcoder> ls:history:pwd:p:w1:r1:su root:man
[00:56] <brainwash> looks ok
[00:56] <almir_> im new on gnome ubuntu
[00:57] <artois> MrKeuner: nice, work alright, then?
[00:57] <brainwash> neonixcoder: I suggest that you ask the experts in #bash then
[00:57] <Rachael_> EriC^^, ok silly question, where should I save it to, as home is encrypted
[00:57] <MrKeuner> artois, yes it is. Thank you!
[00:59] <EriC^^> Rachael_: save it to /tmp/installedapps
[00:59] <EriC^^> Rachael_: then exit the chroot, and type sudo cp /mnt/tmp/installedapps /installedapps
[01:00] <EriC^^> then type cat /installedapps to see if it worked
[01:01] <Rachael_> EriC^^, thnkx again! now to decide it it's worth installing 15.10 or go back to 14.04, any thoughts
[01:03] <EriC^^> Rachael_: hmm install 14.04 and then upgrade straight to 16.04 later or fresh install it when it comes out
[01:04] <EriC^^> i'd say
[01:04] <neonixcoder> brainwash: Thanks.
[01:04] <Rachael_> EriC^^, good idea :)
[01:05] <Rachael_> EriC^^, cheers eric, thank you heaps for your time, off to run a fresh install :)
[01:05] <artois> MrKeuner: that's cool, because I wanted to know what to use for that purpose myself, one day
[01:06] <C_minus> I have all this detritus http://paste.ubuntu.com/15032254/ from a botched installation of CUDA toolkit. How can i remove these all at once?
[01:06] <artois> and now I have two apps for it =)
[01:06] <MrKeuner> artois, I don;t know if it si pdfsandwich or tesseract that does that but, here is a sample output: number of pages 2 running two threads... :)
[01:07] <EriC^^> Rachael_: cheers, have a good one :)
[01:07] <cfhowlett> C_minus, sudo dpkg -r cuda*   should do
[01:07] <MrKeuner> by the way the ocr job is successful too
[01:07] <MrKeuner> :)
[01:08] <C_minus> cfhowlett oh i just noticed this one -- ii  cuda-drivers   352.79-1  amd64  CUDA Driver meta-package -- could it cause problems removing this?
[01:08] <C_minus> I want to purge everything and use their .run installer instead
[01:08] <Rachael_> EriC^^, caio!
[01:11] <cfhowlett> C_minus, I have the m3800 as well.  my dpkg -l | grep cuda >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15032287/
[01:12] <artois> MrKeuner: what, the output the term produces?
[01:13] <C_minus> did you get CUDA working? did you use the .run installer or .deb package? for me the .deb approach results in nothing getting installed, but the .run forces me to install a driver that causes a mess every kernel update.
[01:13] <brainwash> neonixcoder: just want to make sure: the commands in HISTIGNORE will still appear in the history, but they won't be appended anymore once HISTIGNORE is set
[01:14] <brainwash> neonixcoder: is this the case? if yes, then it's working fine.
[01:14] <cfhowlett> C_minus, I did not install cuda.  seems it came from the nvidia driver package
[01:15] <neonixcoder> brainwast: Is that the intended behaviour?
[01:15] <neonixcoder> brainwast: It still did not work.
[01:16] <neonixcoder> I still see just executed commands in history list which are ignored
[01:16] <C_minus> oh. well here's what resulted from the dpkg -r cuda*:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/15032335/
[01:17] <brainwash> neonixcoder: no clue then
[01:19] <neonixcoder> no problem brainwash
[01:26] <artois> MrKeuner: looks like pdfsandwich is just a perl script, so no wonder it works
[01:28] <owen1> anyone on carbon x1 and ubuntu 15.10. i would like to install it on my laptop but want to make sure things are going to work.
[01:38] <Seminarian> Hey guys.. My windowmanager just restarted (got back on the login screen) If I do "top" I still see my programs running but I can't see them on my desktop. Is there a way to get the windows back?
[01:38] <Seminarian> In particular my vmware player window that was installing windows 8 in a box
[01:39] <Kyran> Can you get to them by alt-tab?
[01:39] <OerHeks> owen1, only the fingerprint reader does not work, http://kernpanik.com/geekstuff/2014/12/28/installing-ubuntu-on-thinkpad-x1-carbon-pt3.html
[01:39] <Seminarian> Kyran: nop
[01:40] <Seminarian> Kyran: Mmm looks like the processes are killed now :/
[01:47] <duderino416to> Any PAM gurus on right now? Trying to figure out how to issue sudo once SSHd into a machine that only uses PAM USB for authentication with Unix Authentication turned off. Have setup SSH key and it allows login, but PAM is doing remote authentication for every sudo call. I have the key and hands access to local machine. NOPASSWD in sudoers not an option as it skips sudo authentication when being used locally.
[01:48] <Loshki> Seminarian: they were probably just cleaning up after themselves after your windowmanager died. Get a better window manager?
[01:48] <mices> after this 14.04 lts install finishes i have to install intel hd graphics driver
[01:48] <mices> i dunno how
[01:49] <duderino416to> MICES :  go to settings and look for option "additional drivers" it will give you a list of open and proprietary drivers
[01:49] <duderino416to> it should download the drivers automatically
[01:50] <mices> the displays so bad i'm gonna have to use the console
[01:50] <mices> i can't see where settings is
[01:50] <mices> i'm almost doing a blindfolded install
[01:51] <owen1> OerHeks: great
[01:51] <duderino416to> command line " sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-inter"
[01:52] <Bashing-om> mices: Intel drivers are in the kernel . Intel supports us very well .
[01:52] <Seminarian> Loshki: I'm using ubuntu 15.04 default window manager lol :-)
[01:52] <mices> that crashed my system last time i ran that command
[01:52] <duderino416to> then don't run it this time, install , reboot
[01:52] <mices> you mean intel not inter
[01:53] <Loshki> Seminarian: consider dropping back to 14.04 for stability.
[01:53] <duderino416to> yes with an L not an R...\sorry
[01:54] <Seminarian> Loshki: no, never! I installed 15.10 today because 14.04 is very bugged on my laptop!
[01:54] <thetruepapafrank> Hi, windows user here. I was thinking about experimenting with linux this weekend and was wondering what exactly are the killer apps for linux.
[01:54] <Seminarian> Loshki: I'm running a vmware virtual machine where i'm installing windows 8.1..  I did put the vmware files on NTFS partition. Big load on my system and I was changing number of displays (bad combo)
[01:54] <mices> duderino416to i wanted to install the intel-linux-graphics-installer
[01:56] <loganrun> does anyone know if duplicity encrypts the data before it is sent to the storage device
[01:56] <duderino416to> MICES: 14.04 right? "sudo ubuntu-drivers-list" then "sudo-ubuntu-drivers autoinstall"
[01:57] <thetruepapafrank> Hi, windows user here. I was thinking about experimenting with linux this weekend and was wondering what exactly are the killer apps or features for linux?
[01:57] <duderino416to> papafrank...what do you do on windows? which apps are you using on a daily, weekly and occasional basis?
[01:58] <mices> duderino416to and video drivers will be set up?
[01:58] <xangua> thetruepapafrank: this channel focus on solving Ubuntu related issues, not really recommending or polling apps
[01:58] <thetruepapafrank> oh
[01:58] <thetruepapafrank> ok
[01:58] <letrightonein> hello yeah I got a question
[01:59] <artois> letrightonein: shoot
[01:59] <k1l> thetruepapafrank: just start using it. its not that difficult :)
[01:59] <duderino416to> MICESit should. iif that doesn't work try "sudo
[01:59] <letrightonein> artois I just got child porn from the ilbelkyr nickname :\
[02:00] <duderino416to> "sudo ubuntu-drivers devices" and it will list what it detects and tell you what package to download manually
[02:00] <letrightonein> in private
[02:00] <mices> ty
[02:00] <artois> letrightonein: uhuh...
[02:00] <artois> letrightonein: https://www.fbi.gov/ ?
[02:01] <mices> duderino416to : can i run those commands logged in as root or do i have to sudo from a user
[02:01] <mices> just be sure
[02:01] <letrightonein> MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[02:01] <letrightonein> FUCK MY ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
[02:01] <duderino416to> if you are installing ubuntu ROOT is disabled
[02:02] <duderino416to> what ever user you created is root. to get to the root # shell just use sudo -i and it will make you root
[02:02] <xangua> !ops | letrightonein  language
[02:02] <Flannel> xangua: really?
[02:03] <xangua> :-(
[02:04] <mices> duderino416to : actuall i can see my desktop now after restart
[02:04] <mices> but it's still messed up on bottom and flickering
[02:04] <artois> not quite original, that one
[02:04] <Guest92799> if I click on troubleshoot information in firefox and want to reset it it still does not completly reset, there is now a "refresh" button. I changed something in about:config a long time ago and have to change it back. how can i reset about:config to default?
[02:04] <duderino416to> check the >settings> additional drivers and make sure the intel driver is installed
[02:06] <mices> i don't see additional drivers
[02:06] <mices> duderino416to : ^
[02:08] <duderino416to> How about "Software and Updates"?  It should be one of the tabs in there
[02:08] <mices> duderino416to : yea
[02:09] <mices> it just says no additional drivers available
[02:09] <duderino416to> anything showing up after the long slow scan ?
[02:09] <mices> no proprietary drivers are in use
[02:10] <mices> could it be because i rebooted with a second display plugged into the vga
[02:10] <tgm4883> mices: duderino416to intel doesn't have proprietary drivers
[02:11] <duderino416to> i meant that in the sense that they are the ones releasing them, not the community
[02:12] <mices> i didn't run any of those commands yet
[02:12] <duderino416to> try unplugging the external display, reboot and see if you get a different result
[02:13] <duderino416to> also look at intels open source site - -  https://o1.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
[02:13] <tgm4883> intel doesn't have additional drivers to install
[02:14] <duderino416to> https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
[02:14] <duderino416to> sorry
[02:14] <k1l> duderino416to: just use the new backports kernel then.
[02:14] <k1l> better than installing 3rd party stuff again
[02:16] <mices> same thing
[02:16] <swengin> Hi I've ubuntu installed on 500 gigs drive and I have another disk that's 1 tb I want to get a copy of the 500 gigs system to the new 1 tb and the disk needs to be bootable
[02:16] <swengin> I tried rsync / /newdisk but the disk is not bootable
[02:17] <duderino416to> Any PAM experts willing to let me pick their brain????
[02:17] <mices> duderino416to : so do you give up on my display
[02:18] <swengin> should I install grub bootloader and then rsync?
[02:19] <tgm4883> mices: you need to update the kernel
[02:20] <k1l> mices: what ubuntu are you on?
[02:20] <mices> 14.04 lts
[02:20] <SchrodingersScat> swengin: Hypotetically, If I were doing that, I would go for something more like a dd to the new drive, expand the partition afterward, chroot into it and make sure fstab is correct? then pray?
[02:21] <swengin> ok
[02:21] <k1l> mices: "uname -a" in a terminal brings you what output?
[02:21] <duderino416to> mices im all out of ideas here. especially since i can't see what the artifacts are that you are experiencing
[02:21] <SchrodingersScat> swengin: is it really worth it though? You could probably do a fresh install quicker.
[02:21] <mices> duderino416to : what shall i show you then, i can ssh in from this computer
[02:22] <swengin> SchrodingersScat: Yes data on that disk needs a week to process
[02:22] <duderino416to> that wouldn't help...you couldn't even screen capture something like that
[02:22] <swengin> SchrodingersScat: Client needs it running asap
[02:22] <mices> tgm4883: update the kernel to which version
[02:22] <SchrodingersScat> swengin: so you couldn't install on the new drive, copy the data, then be done with it?
[02:23] <SchrodingersScat> swengin: anyway, that's just a thought on what I would try, others may have reasons that's a bad idea.
[02:23] <swengin> SchrodingersScat: Nope it's long import to db
[02:25] <tinyalpha> hows ubuntu going
[02:25] <fishybrained> good question
[02:25] <fishybrained> would like to hear too
[02:25] <k1l> great
[02:26] <tinyalpha> u got ubuntu installed on your computer fishy brained
[02:26] <fishybrained> tinyalpha, no
[02:26] <tinyalpha> ah what is installed on your system
[02:26] <fishybrained> i have puppy
[02:26] <tinyalpha> puppy linux kewl
[02:27] <fishybrained> aye - ubuntu is kuel too
[02:27] <tinyalpha> yeh, ubuntu is actually good i like it better than the current fedora linux
[02:27] <tinyalpha> it runs a bit smoother
[02:27] <SchrodingersScat> !offtopic
[02:28] <fishybrained> to be honest, I log here cuz the channel is always full of people
[02:37] <XC45> Hey ilbelkyr :)
[02:49] <mices> i can see the screen by going 1024x768, right now i'm running updates
[02:50] <mices> i can see the screen by running 1024x768 but there's huge borders on the left and right sides the top and bottom are good
[02:51] <k1l> mices: what ubuntu is it? what kernel are you on?("uname -a" will tell). what video card is it?
[02:52] <mices> i better wait until the updates are finished first
[02:52] <mices> k1l: ^
[02:54] <mices> k1l: this is a fresh download from ubuntu website, filename ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-i386.iso, ran the intsall from usb stick
[02:55] <k1l> so uname -a is 3.19?
[02:55] <k1l> what video card is it?
[02:55] <mices> ivy bridge
[02:56] <mices> intel hd graphics
[02:57] <k1l> mices: and what is the exact issue and setup?
[02:58] <mices> k1l: i have to add the repository and i can download the "intel-linux-graphics-installer" but i don't know how to do that, when i run apt-get install it says not found
[02:58] <k1l> mices: no
[02:58] <mices> k1l: the issue my display messed up
[02:58] <mices> i can only use 1024x768 with big borders on left and right
[02:59] <k1l> i use an ivy bridge laptop myself. should work out of the box.
[03:00] <k1l> mices: what latop is it?
[03:00] <k1l> mices: and is it only one display? more multidisplay?
[03:00] <k1l> *s
[03:01] <mices> k1l: just one display, it's an acer travelmate b113-e-2846
[03:03] <k1l> mices: did you try to press the FN+F6 (or whatever is painted on your keyboard to switch the video output)
[03:03] <mices> no let me see
[03:05] <mices> k1l: toggling function-f7 has no effect, there's a pointing finger on a screen
[03:07] <laughingtiger> hello, I happened to delete some files and now get these error message: file missing assuming no package installed, something like that. how to solve this?
[03:07] <k1l> and its not offering a higher resolution on the systemsettings > displays?
[03:07] <mices> why do they hide updates behind the details label
[03:08] <mices> k1l: if i go higher the display becomes basically unreadable with duplicate skewed images
[03:08] <k1l> mices: are you sure the hardware is fine?
[03:08] <mices> i think i'm supposed to have more ram?
[03:09] <mices> this laptop ships with 4gb
[03:09] <mices> i put 2gb to save money
[03:09] <cfhowlett> :)
[03:09] <cfhowlett> mices, yeah, well ... of all the things to invest $ in, ram nearly always pays for itself.
[03:10] <k1l> uh, 2gb is not much today. but that still should work
[03:10] <cfhowlett> k1l, videos?  + firefox ? adds up pretty quick
[03:11] <k1l> yeah, i have 8gb right now and next laptop will have 16gb at least. but 2gb should work still. its not a rocket but should work. so i wonder where the issue comes from.
[03:11] <k1l> mices: was there another OS running before? was that fine with higher resolutions?
[03:11]  * cfhowlett looks suspiciously at "unity"
[03:12] <mices> there wasn't another os
[03:12] <mices> i haven't tried windows, i dont' use it anymore
[03:13] <k1l> ok. you could try install the "linux-generic-lts-wily" package. that will bring you the 4.2 kernel from the 15.10 ubuntu. after its done without errors reboot and try it
[03:14] <mices> ok ty
[03:14] <mices> use apt-get ?
[03:14] <k1l> sudo apt install linux-generic-lts-wily
[03:15] <easyOnMe> sftp> put -r /var/www/html/ci_project/assets/img to /var/www/html/assets/img

[03:16] <easyOnMe> I got that problem despite following the tutorial to the letter
[03:16] <easyOnMe> I created the receiving folder also but still I got the above error
[03:26] <art_> hello
[03:27] <raphus> sup
[03:28] <lotuspsychje> raphus: can we help you mate
[03:31] <raphus> nope im just here 4 support ;P
[03:33] <owen1> i have ubuntu 15.04 and i try to reinstall ubuntu 15.10. i choose encryption and lvm and enter a security key. then i see: 'configuration of encrypted volumes failed" "an error occured while configuring encrypted voluems" any clues?
[03:33] <lotuspsychje> owen vivid is eol
[03:34] <owen1> lotuspsychje: that's why i try to install 15.10
[03:35] <k1l> owen1: you can make the online upgrade from 15.04 to 15.10
[03:35] <owen1> k1l: great idea. what are the terminal commands that do that?
[03:36] <k1l> owen1: "sudo do-release-upgrade"
[03:36] <owen1> i always like to do fresh install ):
[03:36] <raphus> whats ur hardware owen1
[03:36] <owen1> x1 carbon gen1
[03:38] <owen1> i canceled the install and i can't even reboot now. i see blinking line on the top left.
[03:40] <raphus> format ur harddrive
[03:40] <lotuspsychje> owen1: did you disable fastboot and secureboot?
[03:40] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i didn't modify anything.
[03:41] <owen1> i could not continue with the install due to some error. so the advice i got is to upgrade from the command line.
[03:41] <raphus> is there any sensible or personal data on ur harddrive u wish to recover?
[03:41] <owen1> than i tried to reboot (without the usb)
[03:41] <owen1> raphus: nope
[03:41] <lotuspsychje> owen1: are you dualbooting or singleboot?
[03:41] <raphus> just erase it
[03:41] <owen1> i got backup
[03:41] <raphus> daft punk style :P
[03:41] <owen1> singleboot
[03:42] <owen1> i just wanted to reinstall ubuntu. i had encryption before so i wanted encryption now as well.
[03:43] <owen1> so what is my next step? i can't login to my ubuntu.
[03:43] <owen1> is there a 'safe mode'?
[03:43] <lotuspsychje> owen1: you can try the recoverymode
[03:43] <owen1> lotuspsychje: great. how?
[03:44] <owen1> i entered the boot menu
[03:44] <lotuspsychje> owen1: but keep in mind that 15.04 is end of life, so recoverymode probably wont do any good
[03:44] <greenie2016> Hello! My FIRST IRC chat!
[03:44] <raphus> bro... reinstall is not fres
[03:44] <raphus> clean_install_4life
[03:44] <Erro> Same here My first also
[03:44] <dengxinjun> hi
[03:44] <raphus> hi dengxinjun
[03:44] <lotuspsychje> greenie2016, Erro welcome, you guys joined the ubuntu support channel
[03:45] <greenie2016> Thank you lotu
[03:45] <dengxinjun> ok
[03:45] <dengxinjun> I have already readed it.
[03:45] <Erro> Thank you much appreciated
[03:45] <greenie2016> OOPS! Thank you lotuspsychje!
[03:46] <dengxinjun> Are you here?
[03:46] <lotuspsychje> !eolupgrade | owen1 as k1l suggested, if that fails try fresh install
[03:46] <lotuspsychje> dengxinjun: please only use this channel for ubuntu related questions
[03:46] <cfhowlett> dengxinjun, for Chinese language support see ubuntu-kylin or #ubuntu-cn
[03:49] <greenie2016> I know that this channel is for ubuntu only. Where can I get help to change bios (boot order sequence) for IBM ThinkCentre?
[03:49] <lotuspsychje> greenie2016: are you trying to install ubuntu?
[03:51] <greenie2016> Yes, currently I have Ubuntu on desktop but too slow on 512 memory. Read that I can swhich to a Lubuntu desktop so I did (which is on top of Ubuntu. Computer SO SLOW. Want to install Lubuntu.
[03:52] <cfhowlett> no need to reinstall! greenie2016
[03:52] <cfhowlett> sudo apt-get install lxde
[03:52] <lotuspsychje> greenie2016: have you tried F10 or F12
[03:52] <cfhowlett> logout, choose lubuntu or lxde session, login.
[03:52] <cfhowlett> for the full lubuntu experience, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[03:52] <greenie2016> REALLY? Great BUT computer SO SLOW. Have to wait several seconds before any clicks work.
[03:53] <cfhowlett> your C1 will love lubuntu
[03:53] <cfhowlett> X1
[03:53] <lotuspsychje> greenie2016: maybe plug in a bit more ram, or another hd or ssd to give your pc a nice second life on lubuntu
[03:54] <greenie2016> Yes, lotuspsychje. I've tried f1 f10 f11. Read several solves but LIVE cd does not start.
[03:54] <waters33637> server .. cli ... is also good for something that slow
[03:54] <lotuspsychje> greenie2016: how did you create your usb stick mate?
[03:55] <owen1> i am trying to save some data in my laptop. i can't access my laptop unless i put the install usb. when i do that i chose 'try ubuntu without installing it'. than i can see my encrypted drive. but when i try to access my drive (and i type my password) i get: unable to access '240 GB encrypted'. error unlocking /dev/sda5: command-line 'cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5........no key available with this passphrase.
[03:55] <greenie2016> I'd rather install Lubuntu and not fuss with installing ram or buying any new HD's. I'm a newbie LOL!
[03:56] <lotuspsychje> owen1: didnt test this on encrypted, but you could try to chroot into hd with a liveusb perhaps?
[03:56] <lotuspsychje> !chroot | owen1
[03:56] <waters33637> greenie2016: webmin if it is just going to sit in a corner someplace
[03:57] <k1l> greenie2016: the difference between ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu is basically just the installed desktop packages. and you can install a different desktop
[03:57] <cfhowlett> !webmin | waters33637 greenie2016
[03:57] <k1l> waters33637: webmin doesnt help here at all
[03:57] <waters33637> wow .. i didnt know that ...
[03:57] <greenie2016> I created a live cd. The 1st OS was XP, wiped that and installed Ubuntu. But was SLOW.
[03:57] <waters33637> might want to look into that huh
[03:58] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i am using a live usb. i think i need some hand holding.
[03:58] <waters33637> lol ...
[03:58] <raphus> @waters  .. rofl
[03:58] <raphus> i founded google ...... freen
[03:58] <raphus> *green
[03:59] <greenie2016> OOH! Screen moving to fast for me to read all of your great inputs. How do I slow screen from crawling so fast?
[03:59] <raphus> and then i just took my iphone and made cyanogenmode work on it and it was made by nespresso
[03:59] <raphus> -.-
[03:59] <cfhowlett>  greenie2016 don't.  you can read the logs later
[03:59] <lotuspsychje> greenie2016: well you can try installing lubuntu with method of cfhowlett or burn a lubuntu livecd
[03:59] <k1l> raphus: enough of that. please keep this channel clear for ubuntu support
[03:59] <raphus> xfce it lame hardware
[04:00] <greenie2016> No waters33637, not sit in corner but use.
[04:01] <lotuspsychje> greenhat_: if you can find the right key for entering your bios we suggest you ask in ##hardware
[04:01] <lotuspsychje> cant
[04:01] <greenie2016> oh, OK cfhowlett.
[04:01] <waters33637> greenie2016: yeah .. i dont know what your doing with it .. but ... untill now .. i would have said ... webmin ... is a cool option
[04:03] <mices> k1l: that didn't help
[04:03] <greenie2016> I already have a live cd lotuspsychje. It's just that I've tried every which way to get bios to get cd at start up. Plenty of people on forums have same issue with IBM ThinkCentre.
[04:05] <greenie2016> I for the life of me can't figure out how I got it to work when I first installed Ubuntu about 3 years ago.
[04:05] <owen1> i am suspecting that from some reason the live cd changed the boot priority order in my bios. how do i know which option is my built-in HDD? i see the following: ATA HDD0 intel ssdscmmw240a3l, ATA HDD1, ATA HDD2, USB HDD, USB CD, USB FDD, ATAPI CD0, PCI LAN, ATAPI CD1, and ATA HDD3.
[04:05] <dengxinjun> oh
[04:05] <lotuspsychje> greenie2016: ESC, DEL, F2, F8, F10 or F12, if you cant enter try ##hardware please
[04:05] <owen1> (my issue is i can't boot anymore)
[04:06] <lotuspsychje> owen1: usb hdd as 1st, ata hdd0 as 2nd
[04:07] <greenie2016> OK lotuspsychje. Let me try. And will go to ##hardware. Later all! Thanks for help!
[04:07] <owen1> lotuspsychje: what HDD as first? ATA HDD1 or USB HDD?
[04:07] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i don't want to boot from my usb stick.
[04:08] <lotuspsychje> owen1: you say you cant boot/login into your current ubuntu 15.04 end of life...
[04:09] <dengxinjun> oh
[04:09] <Erro> GN :)
[04:09] <lotuspsychje> owen1: so why not install 15.10 with boot usb as 1st?
[04:10] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i don't know how to install 15.10. the live usb gave me an error. something to do with the disk encryption
[04:10] <owen1> .
[04:10] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i am trying to access my encrypted disk to backup something i forgot.
[04:10] <owen1> if i fail, i'll try to install again. the problem is i don't know how to overcome the install error i had earlier.
[04:11] <lotuspsychje> owen1: recoverymode or chroot, but if your encrypted password is wrong or so, might be hard
[04:12] <owen1> lotuspsychje: how do i enter recovery mode?
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> owen1: we had some recent issues on users that could not get into encrypted hd anymore after an update
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | owen1 fix broken packages
[04:12] <owen1> i didn't update anything
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> owen1: so your on 15.04 and you dont get updates?
[04:14] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i am on 15.04. i created a usb with 15.10. inserted the usb. started the install process. but it failed before starting due to some error with encrypting my drive. i remove the usb and try to log back to my laptop but i see blinking cursor.
[04:15] <owen1> i can go to the bios if needed.
[04:15] <owen1> i can also connect the usb again and try install or 'try without install' etc.
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> owen1: im not the encrypt expert myself, but i presume you getting error ubuntu trying to recognize your hd or /home and its encrypted
[04:16] <owen1> when i tried 'try without install' i couldn't access my encrypted drive which is sad since i wanted to backup something.
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> owen1: you can try the 'try live' and then chroot
[04:16] <owen1> lotuspsychje: ok. i'll start with 'try live'
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> owen1: read the chroot url i triggered you earlier
[04:16] <owen1> ok
[04:16] <owen1> thanks a lot
[04:16] <owen1> doing it  now
[04:17] <owen1> i see 'try ubuntu without installing' twice. why?
[04:17] <owen1> which one should i chose?
[04:17] <cfhowlett> that ain't right, owen1
[04:17] <owen1> i just picked 'boot from first drive' or something similar
[04:17] <owen1> let's see what happend
[04:18] <owen1> no init found
[04:18] <owen1> (after i hit alt+ctrl+f7)
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> owen1: maybe next ubuntu install, try without encryption and make several backups before you go to the next...
[04:20] <owen1> yup
[04:23] <braderhart> hello all. cross-posting from #nvidia. can someone please assist me in getting the nvidia propietary drivers working correctly in linux? nouvea works fine but i'm having an issue with the proprietary driver detecting my screens correctly on a 660m for my lenovo y580
[04:23] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: wich nvidia- version did you try?
[04:24] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i am in a terminal using 'live cd'. should i follow 'Creating a chroot' section?
[04:24] <lotuspsychje> !chroot | owen1
[04:24] <lotuspsychje> owen1: but keep in mind, i dint test this myself on encrypted, not sure this will work..
[04:24] <owen1> lotuspsychje: oh.
[04:25] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: ty for responding. i've tried multiple but lately i've been trying https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[04:25] <owen1> i don't understand that page so i think it will be a waste of time for me. is it possible to reinstall ubuntu or upgrade to 15.10 from the live cd?
[04:25] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: 352.79-0ubuntu0~gpu15.10.1
[04:25] <owen1> (i mean from the terminal)
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: hmm i suggest you try ubuntu drivers first, showing at your additional drivers section
[04:25] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i believe that is the latest stable
[04:26] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i am in 'try ubuntu without install'
[04:26] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i can certainly try although i've tried those before as well and same issue
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: 352 giveing you black screen?
[04:27] <mices> generally speaking does ubuntu support mobile cpu's?
[04:27] <lotuspsychje> owen1: reinstall fresh is always possible, but to recover your data might get you troubles on encrypted
[04:27] <mices> i don't mean arm
[04:27] <lotuspsychje> mices: ask your real question mate?
[04:27] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i don't mind loosing it.
[04:28] <owen1> lotuspsychje: how to fresh install?
[04:28] <owen1> i tried already with the live cd and got error with my encrypted drive.
[04:28] <owen1> so i am a bit lost
[04:28] <mices> i guess you could say i made a mistake maybe, buying a laptop with a mobile cpu
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> mices: why?
[04:28] <owen1> lotuspsychje: is it possible to fresh install after hitting 'try without install'?
[04:28] <mices> any linux distro i toss in the usb slot and boot the display is messed up
[04:29] <owen1> lotuspsychje: i have the terminal open inside 'live cd'
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> owen1: how about you try a 14.04 live?
[04:29] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: no, just can't get nvidia-settings to detect my screens. get x screen 0 (no scanout)
[04:29] <owen1> downgrade from 15.04 to 14.04?
[04:29] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i've tried multiple versions of this driver including the one from the default repo for additional drivers
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> owen1: no, try 14.04 fresh like you trying now
[04:29] <mices> lotuspsychje: i'm sorry, i didn't mean the operating system i only meant the gui
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: try a lower nvidia version
[04:30] <owen1> lotuspsychje: what is the purpose of trying 14.04?
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: can you tell me wich driver versions showup on your additional drivers screen?
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> owen1: to maybe bypass your error at setup
[04:31] <mices> even the latest mageia
[04:31] <owen1> lotuspsychje: another option is to try installing without encryption
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> owen1: another possible scenario is booting into a datarecovery cd and wipe your hd after, to be able to properly install ubuntu
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> !details | mices
[04:32] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i can certainly try. any reason in which you suggest a lower version? so right now i see nvidia-361 (open source), nvidia-352 (open source), and nvidia-352-updates proprietary. i can remove the ppa i added and use the defaults but as noted i am am experiencing the same issue regardless
[04:32] <braderhart> right now i'm using version 352.79
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: you could try 352 updates
[04:34] <braderhart> lotuspsyche: i certainly can... would you consider yourself someone who can help troubleshoot more if that doesn't work?
[04:35] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | braderhart if things go wrong, or black screen
[04:35] <colaro> I changed a setting in lightdm and now ubuntu doesn't start. How do I fix it?
[04:35] <darkduke> reinstall it
[04:35] <cfhowlett> darkduke, not even close to that!
[04:36] <cfhowlett> colaro, reconfgure it
[04:36] <colaro> How, if I can't even log in?
[04:36] <waters33637> so .. what is the alternative to webmin ... ispconfig work .. or does it also have a problem with ubuntu?
[04:36] <cfhowlett> colaro, login to the terminal
[04:36] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i'm aleady a couple steps ahead in terms of resolving from there
[04:37] <cfhowlett> waters33637, #ubuntu-server channel has more expertise on this matter
[04:37] <colaro> cfhowlett, how do I do that?
[04:38] <cfhowlett> colaro, you have to edit your grub settings ... wait 1
[04:41] <cfhowlett> colaro, do you get the grub menu??
[04:42] <colaro> yes
[04:43] <cfhowlett> colaro, that helps.  OK, reboot.  at the grub screen, hit <esc> (I think) to trigger the grub edit mode.  then:  From the Grub boot menu editor (i.e. the menu that shows up while your machine is booting), you can try to comment the "load_video" line.
[04:43] <cfhowlett> or this:  http://www.gidforums.com/t-1472.html
[04:44] <cfhowlett> colaro, once in terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[04:51] <colaro> cfhowlett, Is there a trick to saving grub edits? I still don't have access to terminal
[04:53] <colaro> Can anybody help me login to terminal?

[05:15] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i've found some info for my specific card and settings. it is using optimus
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: hmmm? 660m is optimus?
[05:16] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus
[05:16] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i'm pretty sure
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> right
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: then you need nvidia-prime mate
[05:16] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: already using it
[05:17] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: this is yours? http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-660m
[05:17] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i don't know how to troubleshoot from logs
[05:17] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: yes, http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Y580-20994BU-Laptop-Review.78974.0.html
[05:17] <lotuspsychje> i dont see optimus there
[05:18] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i'm 90% sure it is given the bios settings
[05:18] <braderhart> lotuspsyhje: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-660m
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: not optimus
[05:19] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i'm pretty sure this going to require some customization to the xorg.conf. unfortunately it's too much for me to understand yet
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: no, xorg doesnt need any tweaking these days
[05:20] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: what should i check for in logs... the nvidia site says it has optimus
[05:20] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: if you really tested all nvidia-drivers, try to file a bug against
[05:20] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: i would suggest remove all ppa's and try every default driver from additional drivers
[05:21] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: fair enough. probably would be the correct way to get support. was just hoping someone here couple help fix and then i can submit the bug report, solution and possible patch
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: if that doesnt work= bug and try a 16.04 just to test out kernel 4.4, see what it does there
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: no patch for grafix drivers, they work good or not
[05:22] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i don't think the issue is with the drivers themselves, but instead the debian package not applying something to the quirks file or whatever else needs to be done
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> debian package?
[05:23] <Guest72695> sup fellow ubutu users
[05:23] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: yes the .deb package that they wrap the drivers in. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: no nvidia-340 or 346 showup your list?
[05:26] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: yes, and i will try the lowest driver version to see if it is working there. i'm just surprised that it isn't working on the latest stable releases. it is listed in the newer drivers on nvidia's site
[05:26] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: i really want to play some xcom 2 :-P
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: we having issues on latest nvidia drivers
[05:27] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: who is having issues?
[05:27] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: are you an employee of canonical?
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: we had alot of users with latest 352 with issues
[05:28] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: no, but we notice likewise situations here
[05:29] <braderhart> fair, but i don't think that is fair to say that we are having issues. i've browsed the forums and mailing list extensively and could not find a lot of information nor an associated bug reports.
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: i would surely try a xenial dialy
[05:30] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: thank you
[05:30] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: also when installing ubuntu, plug in cable internet + updates during setup to get you best drivers available
[05:30] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: try all drivers default first without ppa's to test vanilla
[05:31] <braderhart> lotuspsychje: thanks. tbh i'm past that. i'm just trying to get some help in terms of troubleshooting once i've tried everything else.
[05:32] <lotuspsychje> braderhart: thats why i suggest a 16.04 test, to see if its a kernel thing or not
[05:34] <cihhan> hi all! i am trying to install xfce to my ubuntu server -- i installed by apt-get install xfce4; however it doesnt auto start and i have to write startxfce4 everytime. is there a way to make it run at automatically at boot time?
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> Cihan: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might be assist you better?
[05:36] <cihhan> lotuspsychje, thanks a lot, let me check :)
[05:36] <docmur> I really screwed up and reparitioned my Windows drive /dev/sda accidently and then formatted it.  However, I haven't tried to write anything to it, so it hasn't had the chance to overwrite the sectors on the disk.  I've ran testdisk and I can see the parition table, but when I try to list the file in the old parition, it crashes and I can't figure out why, are there other tools to recover the partition tabl
[05:36] <docmur> e and list the files?  I can see the files in the boot area of the disk
[05:37] <lotuspsychje> docmur: for data recovery sudo photorec
[05:37] <lotuspsychje> docmur: and scan the whole hd to recover stuff
[05:37] <docmur> ya
[05:38] <docmur> cool taking a look now
[05:38] <lotuspsychje> : )
[05:43] <mrr411> any one use OBS on ubuntu
[05:48] <Gass> I do sometimes
[05:49] <mrr411> any idea how to convert upload to bitrate
[05:50] <mrr411> my upload stinks so it might never be worth me streaming
[05:50] <Gass> You can change the video and audio bitrates on the Output part of the settings page
[05:50] <Sovereignenty> My system still doesn't update due to the /boot partition being too small is the only solution to repartition and reinstall?
[05:50] <Gass> Could also stream in 720p instead of 1080p
[05:51] <Sovereignenty>  My drive looks like this /boot 200MiB /30 MiB /home 95 MiB
[05:51] <mrr411> Gass i see that not sure how to pick what bitrate to use so it looks good on the other end
[05:51] <Sovereignenty> *95GiB
[05:51] <docmur> Totally working :)
[05:52] <docmur> awesome!
[05:53] <mrr411> gass im also trying that
[05:53] <easyOnMe> anyone here familiar with .htaccess file
[05:54] <mrr411> well 1080x720 not sure what the little number would be if i went 720x
[05:54] <easyOnMe> I tried http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15481035/removing-index-php-in-codeigniter-using-htaccess-file
[05:54] <easyOnMe> this tutorial but for some reason the website keeps on giving me the 404 file not found
[05:55] <Gass> You may have to just try lower and lowe (by hundreds) until the stream is stable and viewable (testing on youtube is easy)
[05:55] <linocisco> hi all
[05:56] <linocisco> I want to use Ms Exchange email on ubuntu. I tried Exquila on Thunderbird which is 60 days trial only and now expired. What are other free solution?

[06:01] <CtrlAltieDel> Which is better, Linux or Windows?
[06:01] <sloppyskillet> apple
[06:02] <lotuspsychje> !behelpful | sloppyskillet
[06:02] <CtrlAltieDel> Linux, Windows, or Apple?  At least Apple, as much as I don't like it, is based on Unix.
[06:02] <lotuspsychje> CtrlAltieDel: no polls here please
[06:02] <CtrlAltieDel> Thanks, lotuspsychje
[06:03] <CtrlAltieDel> If I use Linux Mint and only Linux Mint, can I post here and participate?
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> !mint | CtrlAltieDel
[06:04] <sloppyskillet> i only joined this to test out irssi but that was the absolute best warning i have ever been given.  great moderation.

[06:19] <linocisco> i can't configure gmail on evolution
[06:19] <linocisco> I enabled IMAP and POp on gmail. evolution keep asking me password though it is correct one

[07:09] <nascentmind> Hi. When I do a "sudo shutdown -h now" it takes almost 20 minutes to shutdown. Where can I check the logs for this?
[08:01] <kamla> hi
[08:01] <kamla> what is solution for sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set
[08:07] <Ben64> kamla: what is the output of "ls -l /usr/bin/sudo"
[08:08] <kamla> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 155008 Aug 28 00:56 /usr/bin/sudo
[08:09] <viju> How can I remove things from taskbar or add to it? I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and the classic desktop
[08:10] <kamla> Ben64:-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 155008 Aug 28 00:56 /usr/bin/sudo
[08:10] <viju> Forgot the name of the desktop, since I haven't been paying attention to my ubuntu box. It's certainly not xfce or unity
[08:11] <genewitch> i can't use pip at all: http://fpaste.org/322152/55351078/
[08:16] <kamla> Ben64: Is there any solution for this or I have to reinstall ubuntu?
[08:18] <nielsk> kamla: Without testing it - boot into single user mode, which should put you into root and set the setuid-bit on sudo
[08:19] <nielsk> kamla: which would be chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo
[08:20] <kamla> nielsk: how to boot into single user mode? I am new to ubuntu
[08:21] <nielsk> kamla: quick googling revealed this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
[08:21] <baizon> kamla: https://askubuntu.com/questions/132965/how-do-i-boot-into-single-user-mode-from-grub
[08:22] <Ben64> kamla: what did you do to break it
[08:23] <nielsk> Ben64: +1 ;)
[08:24] <kamla> Ben64: no idea
[08:28] <linuxlove> hello
[08:28] <linuxlove> how are you?
[08:28] <linuxlove> hey guys

[08:29] <linuxlove> can someone put this link in another location for me please?
[08:30] <kamla> @nielsk: I have pressed shift key but it not not going to recovery mode. it shows blank screen then ubuntu logo appears.
[08:30] <nielsk> kamla: I have no idea; I never used it. " (If you see the Ubuntu logo, you've missed the point where you can enter the GRUB menu.)"
[08:31] <linuxlove> i cant download this link http://files2.genymotion.com/genymotion/genymotion-2.6.0/genymotion-2.6.0-ubuntu15_x64.bin
[08:31] <nielsk> The last time I used single-user mode on something was like a decade ago when I forgot my root-password…
[08:31] <linuxlove> can someone put this link in another location for me
[08:32] <Seveas> linuxlove: https://seveas.net/genymotion-2.6.0-ubuntu15_x64.bin

[08:53] <Nilesh> where can i find the mysql_install_db, i did searched in /usr/bin
[08:53] <Nilesh> didn't find there
[08:55] <EriC^^> try "locate mysql_install_db"
[08:56] <Nilesh> I couldn't find that on viviv.....is that shipped by defauld?
[08:56] <Nilesh> *vivid
[08:56] <EriC^^> yeah
[08:57] <EriC^^> oh, the sql? i dont think so
[08:57] <Nilesh> ok
[08:57] <viju> Search it in  /usr/sbin
[08:57] <EriC^^> !find mysql_install_db
[08:58] <Nilesh> nilesh@nilesh-Vostro-1550:~$  !find mysql_install_db
[08:58] <Nilesh>  find mysql_install_db  mysql_install_db
[08:58] <Nilesh> find: `mysql_install_db': No such file or directory
[08:58] <Nilesh> find: `mysql_install_db': No such file or directory
[08:58] <Nilesh> not in /usr/sbin too
[08:59] <EriC^^> Nilesh: that was meant for the bot, check the list of packages above that contain the file
[08:59] <Nilesh> ok
[09:07] <akik> Nilesh: the find command syntax is "find /path -name mysql_install_db"
[09:07] <kamla> nielsk: is there any other solution for sudo command to work, I tried with recovery mode and other commands but its not working
[09:11] <Jakey3> if im connected to a vpn i should have the ip of the vpn?
[09:11] <Nilesh> thanks got it installed :)
[09:21] <nielsk> kamla: you couldn't get into single-user mode or it didn't work in single-user-mode? Outside of single-user-mode I have seriously no idea…with SELinux there might be a way but Ubuntu uses Apparmor. There I don't know
[09:21] <nielsk> kamla: do you have the root-user activated? Then you could just log in as root and set it
[09:26] <gameboy9309> Hi
[09:27] <gameboy9309> I'm new to Ubuntu, and I'm actually running it now. Do you guys have any tips? Any at all would help a lot. Thanks. :D
[09:27] <neo__> cu
[09:28] <EriC^^> gameboy9309: keep it updated, dont run random commands if you dont know what they do, and dont use ppa's or other software unless you trust the source
[09:31] <ioanm> hi, i'm building my own ubuntu based distro (IoanOS) and have a few question (copyright things not technical)
[09:31] <ioanm> can I keep the plymouth splash screen?
[09:31] <ioanm> and the dash icon?
[09:31] <ioanm> (my distro will use unity)
[09:32] <ioanm> and can I change Ubuntu Desktop to say IoanOS Desktop?
[09:34] <lahirulls> ls
[09:34] <ioanm> is that okay?
[09:34] <EriC^^> ioanm: we dont know, this is just support
[09:35] <ioanm> EriC^^, who should i ask? (or where?)
[09:37] <EriC^^> /join #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-devel or so..

[09:41] <Rachael_> EriC^^, i've burned my win7 partition on the ssd, so soley ubuntu
[09:41] <Rachael_> EriC^^, all good till I restore the backup
[09:42] <EriC^^> how are you restoring it?
[09:42] <Rachael_> EriC^^, now it goes to lock screen and no password will unlock... I use a yubikey so know there is no issue of mis entry , and it works via tty
[09:43] <Rachael_> EriC^^, and apologies for my lack of decorum, good morning :)
[09:43] <greg_> good morning
[09:43] <EriC^^> :)

[09:44] <EriC^^> !fr | greg_
[09:44] <Rachael_> EriC^^, why 3 indeed, 1 orig, 2 'cos I was trying to fix this issue the first time and restored this OS, 3 'cos thought I'd try and fix first :)
[09:45] <Rachael_> EriC^^, mmmm, think it may contain more... hard to confirm from here
[09:45] <EriC^^> Rachael_: how are you restoring it?
[09:45] <Rachael_> EriC^^, thought it could be related to the htaccess
[09:45] <Rachael_> EriC^^, de ja vu backup
[09:46] <EriC^^> Rachael_: when you login the tty, try sudo chown <your user>: ~/.Xauthority
[09:46] <eli_> hello
[09:46] <EriC^^> then try sudo service lightdm restart
[09:46] <Rachael_> from a tty?
[09:46] <eli_> so i just installed unbuntu what to do next ?
[09:46] <EriC^^> Rachael_: yeah
[09:47] <Rachael_> EriC^^, awesome will do, but when I log in frsh from a reboot it's still not working , would this be different?
[09:47] <EriC^^> Rachael_: actually if you don't have any special requirements for owned files, just do sudo chown $USER: -R $HOME
[09:48] <ioanm> yey i'm actually building a squashed fs
[09:48] <EriC^^> Rachael_: you mean before you even restore the backup?
[09:48] <Rachael_> EriC^^, sounds good
[09:48] <EriC^^> Rachael_: oh no, it shouldn't matter
[09:49] <Rachael_> EriC^^, cool, and as much as i appreciate you being here to help, make sure you get outside for some fresh air today :)
[09:49] <EriC^^> Rachael_: yeah, will do :)
[09:50] <nielsk> eli_: I never thought I give someone links like this but maybe that answers your unclear question? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/10/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-15-10

[09:53] <EriC^^> if it asks y/n and then just exits
[09:53] <Rachael_> EriC^^, thanks heaps, I had been searching for that 'tween installs :)

[09:55] <owen1> anyone have a good guide of installing and using st terminal? http://st.suckless.org/
[09:57] <tos-1> owen1: It's in the repos: package stterm
[09:57] <tos-1> owen1: For installation instructions see the README in the repo.
[09:57] <tos-1> s/repo/st's git repo/
[09:59] <owen1> tos-1: oh. maybe it also available as a deb package? http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/stterm
[09:59] <owen1> http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/stterm
[10:00] <tos-1> Right, I meant that, you can just apt-get install it.
[10:00] <owen1> perfect. thanks
[10:01] <ioanm> mount root panic :'(
[10:01] <spacecub> hiya,

[10:01] <spacecub> i want to run a nvidia driver install..
[10:01] <spacecub> it ends in .run
[10:02] <spacecub> can i just ./
[10:02] <spacecub> if i run from the gui, it just gives me a text config file string thing..
[10:03] <owen1> tos-1: ok. i'll clone it to learn how to make it looks like my xterm (colorscheme etc)
[10:03] <spacecub> if i run from shell with ./ if tell me command not found :)
[10:03] <spacecub> shell newbie :)
[10:06] <spacecub> ah, sh
[10:06] <spacecub> :o) Damn these glass eyes :)
[10:07] <spacecub> Oh, I`m on a page just now say i need elements of 32 bit drivers to run steam, but I cant run installer on a 64 bit platform..
[10:08] <spacecub> would you guys recommend nvidia official drivers over lubuntu drivers?
[10:09] <spacecub> (steam wont launch, no explanaion, nothing happens)
[10:13] <spacecub> Too early right?
[10:14] <Rachael_> EriC^^, hi again, afraid no joy :(

[10:17] <bla_> hi everyone

[10:19] <spacecub> does ubuntu auto install gl drivers?
[10:19] <spacecub> tried to run vian shell, and its complaining of "LibGL" errors
[10:20] <spacecub> unable to load driver nouveau_dri.so
[10:20] <spacecub> I`ll try google eh?
[10:22] <Gass> nvidia drivers will be able to use newer OpenGL versions
[10:22] <Gass> that's probably where the error's coming from
[10:23] <spacecub> cheers Gass, I`m thinking I`m using lubuntu specific drivers, do you think installing nvidia official will solve?
[10:23] <spacecub> google mentioning xorg not find drivers and need to know where they are?
[10:24] <spacecub> I coukld be using framebuffer, I dont know how to check :O(
[10:24] <spacecub> (new fresh install over win10 :o) )
[10:24] <spacecub> I`m very brave :)
[10:25] <Gass> I don't know lubuntu but I'm assumming there's a 'Additional Drivers' option in Settings like most Ubuntu
[10:25] <Gass> from there you'll be able to select which nvidia driver you want (Nouveau or diff versions of nvidia proprietary)
[10:26] <spacecub> oh, no, it doesnt, i remeber that on peppermint linux, but it could find my wireless..
[10:26] <spacecub> could = couldnt
[10:27] <spacecub> i dont think im using fbdev, its fine and smooth,
[10:28] <spacecub> last time iued linux was on Motorola 68060 :io)
[10:28] <Gass> http://www.binarytides.com/install-nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-14-04/
[10:28] <spacecub> and i wasnt very good way back then either :)
[10:29] <Gass> follow that, can install via GUI or via command line (shell)
[10:34] <swenzel> How could it be that sometimes my sound works and sometimes it doesn't?
[10:34] <swenzel> I'm fed up with restarting my pc until it works -.-
[10:34] <spacecub> Gass : processing :)
[10:35] <alkisg> swenzel: once it works after a reboot, it stays working until you reboot again?
[10:35] <swenzel> alkisg, yes
[10:35] <alkisg> swenzel: may some module doesn't get loaded for some reason, try to compare "lsmod" when it's working and when it's not working
[10:35] <alkisg> *maybe
[10:35] <swenzel> k
[10:48] <spacecub> nvidia drivers complaining I`m running an x server
[10:49] <spacecub> do i need to run from lower runlevel?
[10:49] <poutine> spacecub, I don't really think that's the case, what is the actual message?
[10:49] <spacecub> you know how you can run linux from shell enviroment, erm, alt-tab 2
[10:50] <poutine> from a virtual terminal, yes
[10:50] <spacecub> Error: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing
[10:51] <poutine> spacecub, and you don't want to stop X?
[10:52] <spacecub> will try via suynaptics
[10:52] <poutine> ok, I was incorrect that you were incorrect about the meaning of the error message
[10:52] <poutine> was not expecting your manner of installation
[10:53] <spacecub> kewl, you can switch drivers easily :))
[10:53] <swenzel> alkisg, got it... do you want a diff or the two complete files?
[10:54] <alkisg> swenzel: no, you can compare them yourself...
[10:54] <alkisg> Do you see a missing module?
[10:54] <swenzel> too many differences oO
[10:54] <alkisg> In the names? Or in the sizes?
[10:55] <alkisg> swenzel: try this: lsmod | awk '{print $1}' | sort
[10:55] <swenzel> size is the same as far as I can tell... but it seems as their entries are ordered differently...
[10:55] <alkisg> This only keeps the module name, not the size
[10:55] <alkisg> Or, cat lsmod-output.1 | awk '{print $1}' | sort
[10:55] <alkisg> if you already have the lsmod output
[10:55] <swenzel> k
[10:56] <alkisg> Or something like this to save it: lsmod | awk '{print $1}' | sort > /tmp/lsmod-output.1
[10:57] <swenzel> alkisg, after the sort git diff shows nothing... so they're identical T.T
[10:58] <alkisg> swenzel: then the module is loaded. Check `sudo alsamixer` when it's not working, and `dmesg`
[10:59] <spacecub> out of interest, how do you switch runlevels?
[10:59] <spacecub> alt-tab does the same as what windows does
[11:00] <swenzel> something else... I tempered with rc.local once because I read somewhere It would help... It didn't... in fact my pc didn't boot at all so I had to make a startup disk to change rc.local back... after this procedure the sound seems to come back reliably
[11:00] <spacecub> poutine: synaptics is taking a long time over changes, is that normal?
[11:01] <spacecub> this is an old Atom/ION platform, also network could be stronger..
[11:01] <swenzel> I just added two lines: 'rmmod snd_hda_intel' and 'modprobe snd_hda_intel model=generic'
[11:05] <spacecub> cpu is working hard, going to quit all but synaptics, I`m guessing somethings compiling?
[11:07] <Antho> hi
[11:09] <mariano_> ciao
[11:11] <wandzia> siema
[11:11] <wandzia> jest tu jaki kargul czy pawlak
[11:12] <wandzia> sami swoi
[11:13] <i3o6> using samba server, do I have to set up user and password stuff even if i have "guest ok = yes"? I can see my share but can't connect..
[11:14] <swenzel> alkisg, I can't get it back to 'not working'...
[11:14] <alkisg> swenzel: that's a good thing then, problem solved, right? :D
[11:15] <swenzel> alkisg, I'm afraid not... I bet it's just postponed
[11:17] <swenzel> I bought the wrong mainboard... it also has severe compatibility issues with my keyboard
[11:17] <alkisg> swenzel: which kernel do you have? uname -a
[11:17] <swenzel> 4.2.0-27-generic
[11:18] <alkisg> Is that 15.10?
[11:18] <swenzel> jup
[11:18] <alkisg> Did you try with a different version/kernel?
[11:19] <swenzel> well the problem started with one of the last versions... but I cannot pin down which one since it's far from obvious when it works and when it doesn't
[11:20] <alkisg> You can try with a newer kernel from the kernel mainline ppa and see if it fixes the issue
[11:20] <alkisg> Google for how to install newer kernels
[11:21] <ikonia> randomly swapping kernels without understanding the problem is not a good idea
[11:21] <swenzel> :D
[11:21] <alkisg> It's the essense of bisecting
[11:22] <ikonia> it's not
[11:22] <swenzel> yeah... just I have no reliable way of testing whether the problem exists or not
[11:22] <ikonia> randomly putting PPA kernels on with no reason - is not good
[11:22] <alkisg> There is a reason, no sound
[11:22] <ikonia> alkisg: what's the problem with it
[11:22] <alkisg> And it's verifiable, even if it takes a few days to see if it works or not
[11:23] <ikonia> no - it's not
[11:23] <alkisg> If he doesn't test, we can't know
[11:23] <cfhowlett> swenzel, did you *ever* have sound?
[11:23] <swenzel> yes
[11:23] <ikonia>  randomly dumping external kernels on is not a good move, unless you have a reason to think you understand where the problem is and see a fix in it
[11:23] <alkisg> Well, it worked for me fine for the last 10+ kernel regressions I had...
[11:24] <cfhowlett> swenzel, did you have sound on your current version of ubuntu?  15.10 I assume?
[11:24] <alkisg> E.g. with 4.3 on trusty I had ext4 failures, which were fixed on 4.4, so I didn't have to bisect, I just downloaded the mainline ppa as instructed by the devs at #ubuntu-kernel
[11:24] <alkisg> *on xenial
[11:24] <swenzel> cfhowlett, yes I did... I think it started somehwere between 4.2.0-21 and the current one
[11:26] <mariano_> quovado
[11:26] <cfhowlett> swenzel, kernel upgrade do not generally frag low level functions like sound.  before you install new kernels, I suggest you 1.  go through your sound settings to verify you did not inadvertently silence or misdirect output and 2. boot an earlier, working kernel to verify sound functionality there
[11:27] <swenzel> cfhowlett, It's not that I never have sound... my problem is that it comes and goes
[11:27] <cfhowlett> predictably?
[11:27] <swenzel> not at all
[11:27] <ardian> Hello I have the following situation with a LAMP server, I need it to be in the www-data group but also be able to edit from a normal user
[11:27] <ikonia> swenzel: why do you think this is kernel related ?
[11:28] <cfhowlett> try alternate output options -- headphones or different speakers
[11:28] <ikonia> alkisg: put the users in the www-data group
[11:28] <ardian> either it's working from www-data or from the user, but I can't get it to work for both
[11:28] <alkisg> ikonia: that was me, I think it's kernel related. I've seen sound, video, file system, mouse, keyboard and acpi regressions in the last couple of years, to name a few. I'm only mentioning those that were solved with older or newer kernels.
[11:28] <swenzel> cfhowlett, problem is only with my onboard card
[11:28] <ardian> ikonia, I have it sysuer:www-data /var/www
[11:28] <alkisg> ikonia: I think you meant "ardian" there, with the www-data group.
[11:28] <swenzel> ikonia, in fact I don't know if it's kernel related
[11:28] <ikonia> alkisg: so you have zero reason to actually think it's a kernal problem
[11:28] <cfhowlett> swenzel, and are you certain the card itself is not failing?  they do, you know ...
[11:29] <ikonia> alkisg: oops, I did, good spot
[11:29] <alkisg> ikonia: other than experience, yes, it's just a hunch
[11:29] <alkisg> And it doesn't take a long time to test that way
[11:29] <ardian> ikonia, but I can't seem to get wordpress install themes automatically for dir permissions
[11:29] <k1l_> ardian: make it www-data:www-data again and put your user into tha www-data group
[11:29] <ikonia> alkisg: so you've not debugged it at all - just assumed a kernel
[11:29] <ardian> k1l_, let me try
[11:29] <alkisg> ikonia: did you read the debugging info above? That was all though, not extensive debugging.
[11:30] <ikonia> alkisg: no, I've not seen it, hence why I'm asking
[11:30] <alkisg> I asked him to compare the lsmod output of a working and not working situation
[11:30] <alkisg> It was the same
[11:30] <ikonia> alkisg: as it should be
[11:30] <alkisg> Then I asked about dmesg on broken situation, but he could not longer reproduce it
[11:31] <alkisg> So before leaving, I thought I'd tell him my 2 cents from my experience, that it might be kernel related
[11:31] <alkisg> I've seen it in a lot of cases to ignore my hunch there
[11:31] <alkisg> Anyways, feel free to help him more, gotta go
[11:31]  * alkisg waves...
[11:31] <swenzel> alkisg, ciao, and thanks :)
[11:32] <alkisg> bb guys
[11:34] <swenzel> cfhowlett, about the card itself... when I start from a startup disk with an older kernel version I've never had problems... same with windows boot
[11:34] <cfhowlett> ikonia, ?? ^^^ kernel?
[11:34] <ikonia> cfhowlett: sorry what, I wasn't paying attention
[11:35] <swenzel> cfhowlett, it's not only the kernel that's older... could also be another part of the system
[11:35] <cfhowlett> swenzel, what audio card is this?  perhaps a driver issue?
[11:35] <cfhowlett> ikonia, <swenzel> cfhowlett, about the card itself... when I start from a startup disk with an older kernel version I've never had problems... same with windows boot
[11:36] <lotuspsychje> if someone enables automatic security updates, it wont prompt gui right? download & install on the background?
[11:36] <dita> how to hack wifi friends
[11:36] <k1l_> swenzel: what is the output of "uname -a"? what ubuntu are you on?
[11:36] <swenzel> AlsaMixer says Card: HDA Intel PCH and Chip: Creative CA0132
[11:36] <k1l_> dita: that is not a topic for this channel
[11:36] <ardian> k1l_, worked perfectly thanks
[11:36] <ikonia> cfhowlett: I guess you need to know the "good working start point and move forward from there
[11:36] <cfhowlett> dita, we don't support hacking.  ask elsehwere
[11:37] <ikonia> intel sound = great support, so there is no way it's going to be a kernel unless something shows up under more debugging
[11:37] <swenzel> k1l_ 15.10 with 4.2.0-27
[11:37] <k1l_> swenzel: is "linux-generic" installed?
[11:38] <swenzel> k1l_, no it wasn't
[11:38] <k1l_> swenzel: ok. so your issues might have come from missing kernel headers which makes your system not able to compile the modules for some hardware drivers.
[11:39] <swenzel> k1l_, when does the system compile them?
[11:41] <k1l_> in best case when the header files are installed now. or when there is a new kernel update they are compiled for the new kernel.  having "linux-generic" installed makes sure that always the matching kernel header files are installed at the same time as the kernel is
[11:42] <swenzel> k1l_, well that was an easy solution then... I'll see in a few days if it worked :D
[11:43] <nobizzle> hello
[11:43] <nobizzle> anyone in here who can help me with lvm?
[11:43] <cfhowlett> !ask | nobizzle
[11:44] <nobizzle> haha, thx
[11:45] <swenzel> thanks ikonia, cfhowlett and k1l_  for helping me :)
[11:45] <cfhowlett> happy2help! swenzel
[11:46] <nobizzle> ok, i'm running ubuntu 15.10 and i have 1 internal ssd which is used for system (already lvm) and 3 other internal hdds and two external hdds.. i'd like to mirror two of them disks via lvm. 1. question: can i use the hdds unformatted for lvm mirror? 2. question how do i have to configure the lvm to have the logfile on a separate hdd?
[11:47] <nobizzle>  /list
[11:48] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[11:48] <incognito-dg> join:#bodhilinux,#ubuntu
[11:49] <ardian> Is ubuntu supporting PHP7 ? or should I stay with php5
[11:50] <Ben64> ardian: php7 will be in 16.04
[11:52] <ardian> Ben64, so if I install from external repositories will there be all the modules that are in php5 now ?
[11:52] <incognito-dg> Can I log into a different user in a different workspace?
[11:54] <lotuspsychje> incognito-dg: i think workspaces are bound to the user logged in
[11:54] <lotuspsychje> incognito-dg: you want 2 users active on 2 screens perhaps?
[11:55] <lotuspsychje> ardian: its not recommended to add external ppa's, stick to package versions for your ubuntu version
[11:56] <ardian> lotuspsychje, alright thank you.
[11:56] <incognito-dg> lotuspsychje so you can actually do it on different screens? Is there any particular application required to do that?
[11:56] <lotuspsychje> incognito-dg: what is you really wanna do? can you explain a bit
[11:57] <lotuspsychje> *it
[11:58] <incognito-dg> lotuspsychje On my computer I have work related projects and I have a non work related project. So I want to put it in a different user for files and google chrome bookmarks.
[11:59] <lotuspsychje> incognito-dg: why not just create 2 users on your system, work/personal?
[11:59] <incognito-dg> lotuspsychje I know that occasionally I will be working and an idea will come to me for the non work project and I will want to open the other user.
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> incognito-dg  i guess Vagrant is what you want
[12:00] <lotuspsychje> incognito-dg: after you created users, its possible ton use gksu line to run stuff from the other user also
[12:00] <incognito-dg> lotuspsychje Yes I will do that, but I don't want to sign out of one user so I can access the other. If I am in the work user, I want to be able to access the non work project without having to sing out. At times I will want to have both open.
[12:00] <gear4> http://pastebin.com/P4Yk7pD5
[12:01] <gear4> why ?
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> gear4  why what?
[12:01] <gear4> read paste
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> gear4  what's in the paste, i cannot open links
[12:01] <cfhowlett> gear4, no context, no reading
[12:01] <cfhowlett> also ... courtesy
[12:01] <incognito-dg> MonkeyDust ... that's a good idea.... but I would probly want to use Docker
[12:02] <gear4> Lua with apt-get
[12:02] <lotuspsychje> incognito-dg: i used to work with suX before, but gksu can do the same
[12:02] <gear4> "debug.getinfo(2, "nlS")" returns nil
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> incognito-dg  Docker is going to drop ubuntu, try LXC
[12:03] <gear4> so, why ?
[12:03] <gear4> I install from source and it works
[12:03] <gear4> but not from apt-get
[12:03] <incognito-dg> MonkeyDust why the heck is Docker going to drop Ubuntu? That's bad news for me because I'm a web developer and I want to run on linux.
[12:03] <gear4> incognito-dg, arch > ubuntu
[12:03] <k1l_> they are going to drop ubuntu as standard image. but it will still be available
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> incognito-dg  it's not clear http://news.softpedia.com/news/docker-has-no-plans-on-ditching-ubuntu-in-favour-of-alpine-linux-report-500244.shtml
[12:05] <gear4> so no answer for me then ?
[12:06] <MonkeyDust> gear4  start with a question, in one line, so you can easily repeat it
[12:06] <cfhowlett> !patience | gear4
[12:06] <k1l_> please dont read softpedia. that got just bad informed articles.
[12:06] <gear4> cfhowlett, I have patience
[12:07] <cfhowlett> gear4, you waited 2 minutes and asked for an answer.  patience --- not so much
[12:07] <ikonia> gear4: explain the problem
[12:07] <gear4> ikonia, I did, above
[12:07] <ikonia> gear4: you've done a paste with no context, what version of ubuntu, what problem, what's your thoughts/opinion, what help are you looking for
[12:07] <ikonia> gear4: I've not seen it - I've just seen a paste with no context
[12:07] <gear4> it's supposed to be #ubuntu, explaining why stuff doesn't work with apt-get should be a de facto standard
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> gear4  what brings you here, it's not clear
[12:08] <ikonia> gear4: drop tehe attitude, explain the problem you see and we can try to help
[12:08] <ikonia> gear4: what are you trying to install, what version of ubuntu, what's the issue, any additional info
[12:08] <gear4> debug.getinfo(2, "nlS") doesn't work with LuaJit installed from apt-get 15.10 but does from source
[12:08] <gear4> that's all I can say from any logs
[12:08] <k1l_> gear4: drop that attitude asap. this is volunteers helping you. so either you pay someone to be nice to you when you act like that or you change your behaviour
[12:08] <ikonia> gear4: ok - so you've install luajit yes ?
[12:08] <gear4> I
[12:08] <incognito-dg> MonkeyDust You scared me for a minute there, but after reading that article it seems they won't be dropping Ubuntu. I don't see how they could drop ubuntu. In the linux world ubuntu is one of the leaders for web developers and there are many very popular distros such as Mint based on ubuntu.
[12:08] <MonkeyDust> gear4  and where/when do you get that, what are you doing
[12:09] <gear4> ikonia, yes, thrice, from apt-get, source and apt-get again
[12:09] <ikonia> !info luijet
[12:09] <ikonia> gear4: what's the name of the package you installed (exact name please)
[12:09] <gear4> MonkeyDust, what do you mean where/when ? on a server, right now
[12:09] <incognito-dg> gear4 arch is definitely a distro I want to dive into
[12:09] <gear4> ikonia, luajit
[12:09] <ikonia> gear4: what repo did that come from ?
[12:09] <gear4> incognito-dg, it's my main, much better than ubuntu
[12:09] <k1l_> incognito-dg: they will base their standard image on alpine linux instead of ubuntu. but ubuntu will still be available on docker. so move on please.
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> !info luajit
[12:09] <gear4> ikonia, the digitalocean mirror
[12:10] <ikonia> gear4: what repo though, I don't see it in the official ubuntu repos (I could be wrong though as I'm still looking)
[12:10] <k1l_> incognito-dg: and i would not listen to people saying other distros are way better when they come in here and need to ask for help :/
[12:10] <ikonia> thanks MonkeyDust
[12:10] <BluesKaj> luajit  is the correct spelling
[12:10] <ikonia> gear4: the version you install from source, is it the same version as the package you're installing ?
[12:11] <gear4> ikonia, yes
[12:11] <gear4> http://codepad.org/MZJKXhW3
[12:11] <ikonia> gear4: have you looked in the package to see if there are patches being used, something to make it different than the upstream source build ?
[12:11] <gear4> ikonia, ye
[12:11] <gear4> yes
[12:11] <gear4> it's just a mirror
[12:12] <incognito-dg> MonkeyDust nice to learn about LXC. That's a new one for me.
[12:12] <ikonia> what do you mean it's just a mirror
[12:12] <ikonia> the deb package can't be a "mirror" of the upstream version
[12:12] <gear4> it's made the same way but installed from a different server
[12:12] <ikonia> what do you mean it's made the same way ?
[12:13] <ikonia> gear4: I'm talking about the deb package you've installed via the apt-get command, against the upstream version you've manually compiled
[12:13] <ikonia> have you checked if the deb package has any patches applied or changes ?
[12:13] <gear4> ikonia, oh ok
[12:13] <gear4> it's 2.0.4
[12:13] <gear4> same as I downloaded, compiled and installed
[12:13] <gear4> and yes I have
[12:13] <ikonia> gear4: ok - so lets step back
[12:14] <ikonia> gear4: so the deb version and the compiled version are they exactly the same version yes/no
[12:14] <gear4> yes
[12:14] <ikonia> gear4: does the deb package have any patches applied ontop of the source ?
[12:14] <gear4> as far as I can see no
[12:14] <ikonia> gear4: how did you check
[12:14] <gear4> downloaded the package sources
[12:14] <ikonia> gear4: how ?
[12:15] <gear4> what do you mean how
[12:15] <ikonia> gear4: how did you download the deb package source ?
[12:15] <gear4> apt-get lets me get the sources and I checked the deb file
[12:15] <ikonia> gear4: how did you download the deb package source
[12:15] <gear4> ...
[12:15] <ikonia> gear4: I dont have an ubuntu box here to check, so I'm checking how you verified so we can move forward
[12:16] <gear4> what do you mean with "how"
[12:16] <ikonia> ok - I'm going to leave this alone now, as it shouldn't be this hard to request information, sorry gear4
[12:16] <gear4> .. useless
[12:18] <Hyrule> what is the correct way of using $VARIABLE in PATH in /etc/environment? mine doesn't get expanded
[12:18] <ikonia> Hyrule: show us the line you've put in
[12:21] <Azis> gear4, since when u started using ubuntu?
[12:21] <Hyrule> can't copy it right now (using ubuntu as VM guest), but its like JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java/jdk{v} and PATH=/usr/local/sbin:{other locations}:$JAVA_HOME/bin
[12:21] <gear4> Azis, 2010
[12:21] <Woopwoop> hey can somebody help me out with an issue im having on my laptop with ubuntu? i want to remove it and install windows xp but it erase itself for some odd reason
[12:21] <Woopwoop> it wont*
[12:22] <ikonia> Hyrule: so that should work,
[12:22] <ikonia> Woopwoop: what wont erase
[12:22] <gear4> Woopwoop, just wipe Ubuntu using the Windows intaller
[12:22] <gear4> or download gparted on a live disk
[12:22] <ikonia> Hyrule: basically if you do $PATH=$PATH:$your_additional_path_variable it should work
[12:22] <Woopwoop> ikonia : i wanted to remove ubuntu from my acer aspire one, the weird part is is that i received it with Lubuntu and kodi
[12:22] <Hyrule> when I type export, it says PATH="{others}:\$JAVA_HOME/bin"
[12:22] <ikonia> Hyrule: try evaluating $JAVA_HOME with an "echo" statement first
[12:23] <ikonia> Hyrule: ok - so the \ is killing it
[12:23] <Woopwoop> I tried to remove ubuntu with boot-repair-disk but it didnt work
[12:23] <k1l_> Woopwoop: so there is only ubuntu installed and you want to have windows using all the disk?
[12:23] <ikonia> Hyrule: echo $JAVA_HOME - confirm it's being set,
[12:23] <Woopwoop> ikonia : yes
[12:23] <cfhowlett> Woopwoop, boot repair disk is for windows not for ubuntu
[12:23] <ikonia> somewhere a "\" is being slipped in and being used as an escape char, escaping the $ sign
[12:24] <Hyrule> ikonia: yes it prints the correct path
[12:24] <Azis> Backup your file using linux life cd
[12:24] <ikonia> Hyrule: so you need to find where that escape char is comgin ing
[12:24] <BluesKaj> Woopwoop, you need to reformat the drive to ntfs first then install windows otherwise windows won't see the ext file system/partition
[12:24] <Woopwoop> Blueskaj : how can i do that ?
[12:25] <Azis> and then download cd tools called hiren
[12:25] <BluesKaj> eo with gparted live media
[12:25] <BluesKaj> Woopwoop,^
[12:25] <Azis> Wopwop
[12:26] <Azis> Try to make a new partition with Hiren, google is your friend
[12:27] <Woopwoop> blueskaj : my notebook has no disk drive by the way, so the only thing i can do at this moment is live usb
[12:27] <Gass> gparted is on ubutnu live
 Woopwoop: so there is only ubuntu installed and you want to have windows using all the disk?
[12:28] <Woopwoop> yes
[12:28] <cfhowlett> Woopwoop, y not boot windows and format the entire disk
[12:28] <Woopwoop> thats right, i want windows using the entire disk
[12:28] <Woopwoop> it wont let me
[12:28] <Woopwoop> i tried multiple times
[12:28] <k1l_> Woopwoop: then this is a ##windows issue
[12:28] <Woopwoop> and it takes me to ubuntus GNU Grub
[12:28] <Azis> I see the whole picture now
[12:28] <PR0r> I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 desktop and over the last few months, every time the system wants to update it basically removes all my installed applications? anyone know why this might be happening?
[12:28] <cfhowlett> Woopwoop, yep.  ##windows is the place for this question
[12:29] <OerHeks> ahci issue, in your bios, join ##windows for that
[12:29] <Woopwoop> how would it be a question for windows if ubuntu is the OS im using.. it wont let me switch over because of the way its set up..
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> PR0r  maybe it deletes obsolote packages
[12:29] <OerHeks> Woopwoop, google for ahci + windows, lots of topics
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> obsolete*
[12:30] <k1l_> Woopwoop: you need to boot the usb-pendrive with the new OS on it. make sure that works. that is ##windows task now.
[12:30] <tabu> hello! the mouse pointer disappears when I boot with two monitors connected VGA+DVI, booting with only one monitor and then plugging the other solved it, but is there other workaround? I'm using a Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
[12:30] <k1l_> Woopwoop: if you see grub, that means it booted from the disk. and not from the usb.
[12:30] <tabu> logging in, then out and then in again solved it as well
[12:30] <PR0r> what would make it obsolete? the programs are used to serve media, run downloads etc
[12:31] <k1l_> PR0r: could be that you removed a big meta package. and now all desktop packages are marked as "not needed anymore"
[12:31] <Azis> Hmm wop wop there are many tools out there to install Gnu/linux or another os via usb
[12:31] <Woopwoop> well if my drive is already set to ahci mode then what would be left to do :\
[12:31] <MoziM> dpkg: error processing archive cuda-repo-l4t-r21.3-6-5-prod_6.5-42_armhf.deb (--install):

[12:31] <cfhowlett> PR0r, more data needed.  simulate (NOT execute an upgrade and paste the outcome) apt-get -s dist-upgrade
[12:31] <k1l_> Woopwoop: 1. make sure the windows usb pendrive works correctly. 2. make sure your bios boots from usb and not from hdd.
[12:32] <MoziM> i deleted the .list file it was talking about and the same error message pops up, any way to update dpkg? or do i have to use updatedb?
[12:32] <PR0r> strange, I never uninstall anything. from time to time I get prompted with partial upgrade available
[12:32] <OerHeks> Woopwoop, your problem it is set to ahci, change to IDE(emulation)
[12:32] <cfhowlett> PR0r, easy method: apt-get -s dist-upgrade | pastebinit
[12:32] <PR0r> sure ok
[12:32] <Woopwoop> IDE would help my USB load the windows installation on it?
[12:33] <cfhowlett> Woopwoop, for windows support, ask ##windows           !!!
[12:34] <Woopwoop> how is it windows support? because i said the word windows?
[12:34] <OerHeks> it feels like a crime, supporting XP ..
[12:34] <Woopwoop> im just asking if IDE mode will help my USB load..
[12:34] <Azis> lol
[12:34] <k1l_> Woopwoop: actually: its ##hardware support
[12:34] <cfhowlett> Woopwoop, you asked about installing windows ...
[12:34] <Woopwoop> no..
[12:34] <Woopwoop> im asking about my usb
[12:34] <Woopwoop> read first
[12:34] <Woopwoop> :s
[12:35] <PR0r> http://pastebin.com/WMwxi1Xv
[12:35] <Hyrule> oh crap now I can't even login anymore
[12:35] <Azis> Woop wop how much ram you install on your system?
[12:35] <k1l_> Woopwoop: once again: if you boot into ubuntu(grub) its already too late. you need to make sure you boot into the usb to install another OS. i told you twice now what could be the issue and how to check/repair
[12:36] <Hyrule> any way to get a terminal from the login screen?
[12:37] <k1l_> Hyrule: ctrl+alt+f1
[12:37] <Hyrule> ty
[12:38] <cfhowlett> PR0r, I apt-cache policy checked lines 11-12 on my 14.04.3.  not installed on my system either.  don't know why they were installed on yours.
[12:38] <cfhowlett> PR0r, might check apt-get -s autoremove         if they show up there, I'd say you just needed to do spring cleaning on your box
[12:40] <PR0r> it hardly ever gets a reboot and the updates often hang for days waiting. I just don't like it when I do eventually reboot and shits missing
[12:40] <k1l_> PR0r: can you put the /var/log/apt/history.log into a pastebin?
[12:41] <PR0r> can do, one sec
[12:42] <Zedx> 00
[12:42] <Zedx> hello
[12:44] <PR0r> apt/history.log - http://pastebin.com/bGA5SbC1
[12:44] <PR0r> 10 days worth
[12:44] <guldrin> trying to use the SME to conect to my old ONEdrive account whil i know the url is correct for the us server the app after a few moment pops a window saying can't be mounted i looked for any manner of forums to help me with this scenario and no luck relating to my situation links and advice needed when possible thanks in advance
[12:46] <Hyrule> OK, so setting PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME in /etc/environment prevented me from logging in into ubuntu as they didn't expand also. Had to revert the changes to being able to login again.
[12:46] <k1l_> PR0r: hmm, not any hints for removing ubuntu-desktop
[12:47] <k1l_> PR0r: maybe way before that
[12:47] <cfhowlett> PR0r, here's a workaround sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[12:48] <Hyrule> "Note: Variable expansion does not work in /etc/environment." that remark somewhat I overread.
[12:49] <Zedx> asus usb ac 51 how to let it work?
[12:51] <PR0r> ill give that a shot cfhowlett. The system wants to install updates and reboot but obviously I'm not going to as it is hours of setting back up. Should this workaround allow me to do the update and reboot do you think?
[12:52] <PR0r> without loss of applications
[12:52] <OerHeks> Zedx, AC51 wifi ? maybe this page is any help http://askubuntu.com/questions/553097/how-do-i-install-the-asus-usb-ac51-wireless-adapter
[12:53] <cfhowlett> PR0r, removing the packages and then immediately reinstalling ubuntu-desktop (note ONLY installing ubuntu-desktop) while in a single terminal state means it won't even think to reboot until the reinstall is complete.  even then, a simple logout/login should get you going, not a full reboot
[12:53] <PR0r> If only Ubuntu could keep updated without needing to restart :|
[12:53] <ikonia> PR0r: no OS can do that
[12:53] <ikonia> if you have a software component thats in use, how can you update it while it's loaded in memory
[12:53] <cfhowlett> I cannot remember a single time when ubuntu demanded a restart after an update
[12:53] <mifritscher> hi
[12:53] <k1l_> kernel updates do
[12:54] <ikonia> basically a kernel, libc or an X11 component
[12:54] <ikonia> few other more obscure bits, but thats it
[12:54] <Zedx> make[2]: *** [/home/frankchen/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3001_dpo_20130725/os/linux/../../os/linux/rt_linux.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/frankchen/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3001_dpo_20130725/os/linux] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.19.0-49-generic' make: *** [LINUX] Error 2
[12:54] <k1l_> but when the companies opensource their "non reboot kernel patching". we wont have to do reboots for kernel updates anymore
[12:54] <mifritscher> where is the direct link to report bugs? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug only redirects to a wiki site without a link (at least I didn't found it)

[12:57] <Tachyon_> Hello. I am now trying to install ubuntu 15.10 dual-booting with Windows. I made 100 gb free space to create a new partition for ubuntu, I did selected Something else in Ubuntu install, and  now I wonder what settings should I choose for the new partition. Help please ! Thanks.
[12:58] <bekks> Tachyon_: Which settings do you talk about?
[12:58] <k1l_> mifritscher: or use this link, which needs you to fill in more info manually: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect
[12:58] <cfhowlett> Tachyon_, 10 gb should be more than enough for the root system /            and a /swap = Ram X 2        and put the remainder in /home
[12:58] <mifritscher> k1l_:  ah, no-direct was the trick - thanks!
[12:59] <Tachyon_> bekks: In partition settings, I selected free space and click plus and it ask me for things like: primary, logical, begginig of this space, end of this pace, use as, mount point
[12:59] <k1l_> Tachyon_: 10-15Gb for /, 1xram=swap (if you want swap at all), rest for /home
[12:59] <Tachyon_> It's a dual with windows.. never installed a linux :(
[12:59] <bekks> Tachyon_: So pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" please.
[13:00] <Tachyon_> http://pastebin.com/pTLSQ2iB
[13:01] <k1l_> Tachyon_: so make that partition a "extended partition" and put that 3  ubuntu partitions into that
[13:02] <Tachyon_> Isn't possible to put everything in a single partition ? Thank you for your patience, only used linux in virtual machines
[13:02] <k1l_> Tachyon_: make a extender partition. and put the /,swap and /home into that.
[13:03] <swengin> Hi I have a machine that I can access through ssh that machine has 2 hard disks
[13:03] <if_gaga0> hello all, can you tells me right way for: building own Xen-kernel image with that patch applied: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2316294 . I'm already see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel how-to, but i'm need XEN-4.5 functionality
[13:03] <ppf> I have a problem with netbios name resolution in my local network. nmblookup is able to resolve the name, but ping (e.g.) is not. what did i miss?
[13:04] <Azis> What did u mean by everything?
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> if_gaga0  that's a bit beyond the scope of this channel, try #ubuntur-srever or #ubuntu-kernel
[13:04] <swengin> 1 of the disks is the main the other is empty I want to make the second disk bootable as well I formatted it with mkfs.ext4 and when I try grub-install afterwards I get an error embedding is not possible, but this is required for cross-disk install. and it terminates
[13:04] <ppf> nmbd is running, wins is in the nsswitch host chain
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> #ubuntu-server*
[13:05] <if_gaga0> MonkeyDust: thanks!
[13:05] <guldrin> ok guys i may have found one that works
[13:05] <Tachyon_> http://i.imgur.com/98vMHtb.png where is extended partition ?
[13:06] <if_gaga0> ppf: i suppose, its may be help https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2001-December/034280.html
[13:06] <k1l_> Tachyon_: extended is a primary partition
[13:06] <Tachyon_> so I have to select primary ?
[13:06] <MonkeyDust> Tachyon_  1 2 3 4 is primary, averything higher is extended
[13:06] <MonkeyDust> everything*
[13:07] <Tachyon_> and ext4 journaling file system ?
[13:07] <k1l_> Tachyon_: i dont have the installer in front of me. i dont know that out of my head
[13:07] <ppf> if_gaga0: i did all those things
[13:07] <k1l_> Tachyon_: you can only make 4 primary partitions. and your windows is already using 3. so there is only one partition left for ubuntu. so make an extended one to make a proper setup
[13:09] <if_gaga0> ppf: ping use /etc/resolv.conf for get dns nameservers for resolving hostname, nmblookup use wins server
[13:09] <k1l_> Tachyon_: eventually you need to stop the installation. then use "gparted" and make that "extended partition manually with that partition program. then start the installer.
[13:10] <Tachyon_> ok trying now
[13:10] <k1l_> Tachyon_: as i said: i dont have the installer in front of me. so you need to look
[13:10] <Zedx> ac51
[13:10] <Zedx> how to
[13:10] <ppf> if_gaga0: ping uses what i put in the hosts chain in nsswitch.conf
[13:10] <Zedx> ubuntu 14.043
[13:11] <Tachyon_> I think I found it
[13:11] <if_gaga0> ppf: yep, sorry, my bad
[13:11] <ppf> no worries. for some reason wins name registration or lookup doesn't work here
[13:13] <ppf> how does nmblookup resolve the hostname actually?
[13:13] <ikonia> netbios advertisment
[13:14] <ppf> it's actively asking the network for the name? (aka broadcast)
[13:14] <Tachyon_> and in the extended partition make a hoom and .. ?
[13:14] <tabu> hello! the mouse pointer disappears when I boot with two monitors connected VGA+DVI, booting with only one monitor and then plugging the other solved it, but is there other workaround? I'm using a Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller.... logging in, then out and then in again solved it as well, but is there a definite solution?
[13:15] <Tachyon_> home *
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> tabu  wireless mouse?
[13:15] <tabu> yes
[13:15] <k1l_> Tachyon_: make ext4 for / 10-15GB, one swap with size=ram, one ext4 for /home with the rest of space
[13:16] <tabu> MonkeyDust, yes it's a logitech wireless
[13:16] <tabu> MonkeyDust, M310 model
[13:17] <if_gaga0> ppf nmblookup resolve hostname via Windows Internet Naming service(WINS), that big acrticle, how they works http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-netbios-name-resolution-really-works/
[13:19] <if_gaga0> ppf: also you can use tcpdump -ni <local_interface> 'port netbios-ns'
[13:19] <Tachyon_> like this http://i.imgur.com/WETekeS.png ?
[13:20] <randssd> i receive the following error when I try and apt-get install any package: dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
[13:20] <randssd>  syntax error in statoverride file
[13:20] <cfhowlett> looks good Tachyon_
[13:20] <randssd> i cannot find any syntax error in my statsoverride file
[13:20] <randssd> any ideas?
[13:20] <k1l_> Tachyon_: yes. and on the installer you need to mark that parittions and choose "use as" for /, swap and /home
[13:21] <k1l_> Tachyon_: dont forget to clikc on the green checkmark to let the actions take place.
[13:22] <Tachyon_> the installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda. do you want the installer to try to unmount the partitions on these disks before continuing ?
[13:22] <Tachyon_> no/yes
[13:22] <Tachyon_> yes, I did clicked
[13:22] <k1l_> yes was right.
[13:23] <k1l_> Tachyon_: but you need to "run" the choosen changes in gparted first. if you just closed it after the screenshot the partitions might be not created. that was my point
[13:23] <Tachyon_> I clicked that button
[13:24] <k1l_> ok
[13:24] <Tachyon_> http://i.imgur.com/MGGwgCA.png
[13:24] <k1l_> the yes is right.
[13:24] <Tachyon_> so I click yes
[13:28] <Tachyon_> ok I found where I choose for swap
[13:29] <Tachyon_> but for home and the other one ?
[13:29] <k1l_> choose "ext4" for them and then "use as" or "mount as" / and /home
[13:29] <Mrokii> Hello. Does anybody know a panorama creator for Ubunut other than Hugin (which has stopped working some days ago)?
[13:32] <Azis> Basically ubuntu need 2 partition / root & swap
[13:32] <k1l_> Azis: seperating the /home is a common thing since some time.
[13:32] <bekks> Azis: swap isnt actually needed, but required for certain features.
[13:34] <cfhowlett> Mrokii, ??? hugin works fine for me still
[13:35] <NginUS> I have a command in "username's" crontab which runs when manually entered in terminal as user, but not @reboot like it should from cron.
[13:35] <Mrokii> cfhowlett: It throws an error for me everytime I want to start it.
[13:35] <Mrokii> something about an invalid pointer
[13:35] <k1l_> NginUS: try fullpath
[13:36] <cfhowlett> Mrokii, I don't use it often enough to advise on that
[13:36] <Azis> Yea, but if i have 500gb free hard drive. Alocate 2-4gb is worthed.
[13:36] <NginUS> k1l_: already am using full path
[13:37] <bekks> Azis: Depends on the RAM you have.
[13:37] <Mrokii> cfhowlett: My assumption is that it's a bug.
[13:37] <NginUS> /usr/bin/screen -dm icecast -c /usr/local/etc/icecast.xml
[13:39] <cfhowlett> Mrokii, perhaps  http://scribblesandsnaps.com/2012/10/17/stitch-panoramas-in-digikam/
[13:40] <Mrokii> cfhowlett: I'll take a look, thank you.
[13:40] <cfhowlett> happy2help! Mrokii
[13:44] <Mrokii> cfhowlett: I don't think it'll work though as it says it relies on Hugin as well, which has to be installed. But I'll see soon enough.
[13:44] <NginUS> k1l_: Oh, just saw I missed fullpath for 'icecast', brb
[13:52] <lucas-arg> hey guys any one know how to set nvidia resolution persistent on ubuntu 14.04? system wide...
[13:54] <lucas-arg> tried setting resolution in xorg.conf but doesnt work for some reason
[14:00] <mices> just installed https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/intel-graphics-installer-linux-1.2.1 didn't help, my display still messed up
[14:05] <OerHeks> mices, intel should be well supported standard, no extra drivers needed, that 01.org-one is not recommended.
[14:06] <mices> my display doesn't work
[14:06] <k1l_> mices: i told you that that 3rd party stuff doesnt help.
[14:06] <mices> k1l: looks like you may have been right
[14:07] <k1l_> mices: is this the laptop screen? or attached to a vga/hdmi/displayport output?
[14:07] <mices> laptop screen
[14:07] <mices> now running ubuntu 15./01
[14:07] <k1l_> something connected to that outpu?
[14:07] <k1l_> output?
[14:07] <mices> not
[14:07] <bekks> mices: Whats "15/.01"?              Odd that some do and some don't. I reported it in #freenode , but nobody responded :/
[14:15] <OerHeks> BluesKaj, freenode does not care, afaik.
[14:16] <BluesKaj> OerHeks, yeah, that's obvious
[14:17] <mifritscher> @launchpad: is there a way to assign a bug to multiple packages?
[14:19] <mifritscher> for example, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tinyca/+bug/1545276 : the bug occours tinyca, but some symptoms (the crash itself after the error) seems to be in perl or in its gtk-module
[14:19] <OerHeks> mifritscher, maybe the packages are related, or there is one bug causing an avalanche
[14:20] <OerHeks> and for 16.04 join #ubuntu+1 until release
[14:20] <mifritscher> OerHeks: yes, but the question itself doesn't relate to any specific ubuntu version ;-)
[14:21] <mifritscher> OerHeks: it is a perl script (no native code) - perl shouldn't be crash the hard way (access violation) whatever the script is trying to do ;-)
[14:21] <mifritscher> -be
[14:23] <BluesKaj> OerHeks, cfhowlett, it's interesting that PIA is mentioned with thanks in the server connection log, but card.freenode won't connect me to freenode if I try to connect with PIA vpn :-)
[14:23] <OerHeks> mifritscher, yes it does, it is a 16.04-version is in that bugreport, even if the CA created with 14.04.
[14:24] <OerHeks> not sure how to see this, is that CA depending on your hostname?
[14:25] <mices> k1l: http://pastebin.com/mcV2DH35
[14:36] <mices> k1l: ?
[14:36] <pp__>  /load .xchat2/budus.so
[14:37] <joao> aaa
[14:39] <k1l_> mices: does it work on the live usb?
[14:39] <mifritscher> OerHeks: I've only asked a question regarded launchpad, not the bug itself - it was only an example ;-) @hostname: no, tinyca can create CAs, and it happened that it was called mifritscher ;-)
[14:39] <OerHeks> mifritscher, still an 16.04 problem to me
[14:40] <mices> k1l_: not
[14:40] <mices> k1l_: could it be not enough ram
[14:40] <mifritscher> OerHeks: the bug itself? yes. The question how to use launchpad? no ;-)
[14:40] <mices> k1l_: this laptop ships with 4gb ram but i only put in 2
[14:40] <k1l_> mices: can you put 4gb back in?
[14:41] <mices> k1l_: i have to go buy it
[14:41] <k1l_> mices: hmm. you could test with an Lubuntu.iso on a usb drive in a live system
[14:41] <mices> why
[14:42] <k1l_> because Lubuntu uses lxde as desktop which is made for slow and old hardware. just to rule out the ram topic.
[14:43] <k1l_> mices: the intel video card(cpu) is known to work without issues on ubuntu. unity can run on systems with 2gb.
[14:43] <mices> what's unity?
[14:43] <truexfan81> ok i am convinced these tomcat issues i'm having is caused by something ubuntu has done to it, cause i have a copy of my setup in a fedora 20 vm and it works perfectly
[14:43] <mijk> hi, so I'm trying to customize my Live USB of 14 LTS and the TTY's always seem to revert back to the ubuntu auto logging in
[14:43] <k1l_> mices: so i think there is a hardware issue.
[14:43] <k1l_> mices: unity is the desktop you use on ubuntu
[14:44] <k1l_> truexfan81: could be a tomcat version issue?
[14:44] <truexfan81> k1l_: idk but after 2 days of fighting with it i'm about ready to just shut the game server down and walk away

[14:46] <OerHeks> mifritscher, i know no way to put multiple package as one in your report, you can name them manually i guess.
[14:46] <mijk> there seems to be a script that resets tty*.conf but even if I remove the code that does so, it still resets it :(

[15:14] <toshmate> Hi, i have ubuntu 15.10 and windows 7 and i want to replace windows with Mac os x. will i lost linux ?
[15:15] <Azis> Never tried hachintos be4
[15:15] <toshmate> can i dual boot mac os x and linux on toshiba ?
[15:15] <Azis> maybe other user in here
[15:15] <EriC^^> toshmate: yeah
[15:15] <murosai> does ubuntu installer actually erase the data from disk, that is not just mark as removed but overwrite the existing data or do i need to a 3rd party app for that?
[15:15] <OerHeks> toshmate, osx wants your whole drive AFAIK
[15:15] <toshmate> So grub will recognize mac os x
[15:16] <EriC^^> murosai: it doesn't erase it
[15:16] <OerHeks> toshmate, osx ona toshibe, sure you can get drivers?
[15:16] <murosai> ok i thought so
[15:16] <EriC^^> murosai: are you doing fde?
[15:16] <murosai> fde=
[15:16] <murosai> ?
[15:16] <EriC^^> full disk encryption
[15:16] <murosai> nope
[15:16] <EriC^^> ok
[15:16] <toshmate> Oerhecks, i can try.. no
[15:17] <EriC^^> toshmate: you might need to do a couple stuff to get it running?
[15:17] <murosai> got an old laptop and i want to sell it, just need to find some app that erases disk i guess then
[15:17] <vcr80> hy! I started python programming just now. My Script works perfectly fine inside the IDE (Pycharm) but as soon as I want to launch it in terminal, it doesn't work at all. Can anyone tell me why?

[15:18] <EriC^^> murosai: are you using linux?

[15:18] <vcr80> bye!

[15:19] <sande> hi, i just did sudo apt-get upgrade and now nothing opens on double click
[15:19] <Azis> if u want to make your dekstop like mac u can use leopard theme for ubuntu
[15:19] <sande> i also did sudo apt-get clean,remove and other commands
[15:19] <EriC^^> murosai: you could do some passes with dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX
[15:20] <murosai> EriC^^: why just overwriting with 0 is not good enough?
[15:22] <Debby> !list
[15:22] <toshmate> EriC^^: i'm trying yeah
[15:22] <sande> hi, i just did sudo apt-get upgrade and now nothing opens on double click
[15:22] <EriC^^> murosai: /dev/zero is fine too
[15:23] <EriC^^> murosai: thought it was more secure for some reason, i guess that's just if you want to encrypt later or something
[15:23] <toshmate> EriC^^: the important is that grub can recognize linux and osX
[15:23] <EriC^^> toshmate: yeah
[15:24] <EriC^^> toshmate: you'll have more trouble getting the mac to boot grub though, you might need to use refind or "bless" the grub file
[15:24] <EriC^^> toshmate: are you using uefi?
[15:28] <ukernyanz> Hi everybody

[15:39] <sancho_panza> ok, gentlemans, i have installed ubuntu studio LTS 14.04 and i'm having problems with pulseaudio on startup: audio doesn't work and i can't open the pulseaudio mixer. i read this topic (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1901579) and found out that giving "pulseaudio -D" in terminal restarts pulseaudio and resolves my problem until i restart my pc. how can i do to make it work on every startup without having to manually restart it?
[15:45] <BluesKaj> sancho_panza, which audio chip and have you checked alsamixer in the terminal?
[15:48] <sancho_panza> BluesKaj, i'm using the internal chip of my i3 powered laptop... i'll try to make it work with my usb sound card too, but i haven't done anything atm
[15:48] <sancho_panza> BluesKaj, i checked alsamixer in terminal but audio doesn't work until i restart pulseaudio
[15:49] <BluesKaj> sancho_panza,  lspci | grep -i audio
[15:49] <FBI> what are the actual errors+
[15:49] <FBI> ?
[15:50] <sancho_panza> FBI, audio doesn't work, i can't see pulseaudio icon in the panel, if i try to open pulseaudio mixer he gives me this error code: "Fatal Error: Unable to Connect to Pulseaudio: OK"
[15:51] <sandy_> Hi i might have screwed my linux distro as it shows kali/sana now
[15:51] <BluesKaj> sancho_panza, pulseaudio isn't really needed for ordinary audio uses with intel hda
[15:51] <sandy_> how can i revert back to ubuntu. I tried using katoolin
[15:51] <sancho_panza> BluesKaj, $ lspci | grep -i audio
[15:51] <sancho_panza> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
[15:51] <sancho_panza> 01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cedar HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5400/6300 Series]
[15:52] <sancho_panza> BluesKaj, i can't setup a daemon to run "pulseaudio -D" on startup?
[15:54] <OerHeks> sandy_, format and reinstall
[15:55] <BluesKaj> sancho_panza, pulseaudio should start by default
[15:55] <DChapman> !audio
[15:55] <sancho_panza> BluesKaj, i know, but it's not
[15:56] <sandy_> OerHeks: is there any other way
[15:57] <BluesKaj> sancho_panza, do want to keep pulseaudio, because you can run your audio system perfectly fine without it.
[15:57] <OerHeks> sandy_, especially kali ruins your ubuntu, maybe someone else here will give it a try, i think you are better off with reinstall.
[15:57] <sancho_panza> BluesKaj, the audio applet is kinda useful for me
[15:57] <DChapman> Well, some applications do need pulse. (such as Skype) so that depends on the usage.
[15:58] <sandy_> i cant i have my office projects on it
[15:58] <BluesKaj> the audio applet should remain afaik , sancho_panza , but it's your call
[15:58] <xangua> sandy_: backup and reinstall
[15:58] <OerHeks> sandy_, if you don't have backups, your data is not important
[15:59] <sancho_panza> BluesKaj, i'll try to remove it after i read something more about it
[15:59] <sandy_> the thing is i will have to reinstall work env and stuff
[15:59] <OerHeks> sandy_, so you are testing stuff with your work machine?
[16:00] <BluesKaj> sancho_panza, or install pavuvcontrol which gives you more pulseaudio control options
[16:00] <OerHeks> good lesson not to do that again :-D
[16:00] <sandy_> no i wanted to install the kali packages for learning pentesting basics
[16:00] <sandy_> so i used katoolin but it screwed my system bad
[16:01] <DChapman> !katoolin
[16:04] <sancho_panza> BluesKaj, i already have it installed... the problem is not about controls but about the software not properly working at startup
[16:06] <Azis> I'm wondering if any Wine user here?
[16:07] <OerHeks> !wine | Azis for wine support see >
[16:07] <OerHeks> #winehw
[16:07] <OerHeks> #winehq *
[16:08] <BluesKaj> sancho_panza, have you setup the controls in alsamixer yet?
[16:08] <Azis> Okay thx ^ ^
[16:09] <flipper> hy
[16:11] <sancho_panza> BluesKaj, nope, what do you suggest?

[16:13] <BluesKaj> sancho_panza, make sure the relevant volume ctrls are turned up,  and autmute is disabled, use the arrow keys to navigate turning ctls up or down

[16:17] <OerHeks> haasn, in unity, the sources menu has a tool build-in to find the fastest mirror.

[17:42] <homa_> hi my friends
[17:53] <gde33> the second link in this section (the one with http) was done wrongly here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStickQuick#Start_the_Ubuntu_installer
[17:57] <ikonia> gde33: which link ?
[17:58] <k1l_> the one to pendrivelinux. they mixed link and description
[18:00] <OerHeks> gde33, imutable page, cannot edit it, but the url at the bottom is correct
[18:03] <k1l_> gde33: i told the documentation team in #ubuntu-doc . they will change that if they see my request. thanks
[18:04] <gde33> it isn't much of an issue, it just looks bad
[18:06] <mefisto> I installed windows 10 today and was surprised to find grub still working. Is this grub2 doing that, or win10 respecting grub users?
[18:06] <OerHeks> gde33, good notice!
[18:06] <k1l_> mefisto: uefi system?
[18:07] <mefisto> k1l_: that's what made the difference? I see now
[18:07] <gde33> maybe some link checking spider is easy enough to code?

[18:11] <need_help_again> i followed this guide
[18:11] <need_help_again> http://askubuntu.com/questions/590414/wifi-problems-with-rtl8723be-in-ubuntu-14-04
[18:11] <need_help_again> and my wireless card started working
[18:12] <need_help_again> until i rebooted my laptop the second time
[18:12] <need_help_again> then it just stopped completely
[18:12] <sooziqu> xangua, right. that's what i said
[18:13] <sooziqu> need_help_again, wifi doesn't work in Ireland mate.
[18:13] <need_help_again> can someone please help this is starting to bother me slightly
[18:14] <OpenSorce> need_help_again, ignore the troll. Did you you set it so that the mod loads on every boot?
[18:15] <need_help_again> no
[18:15] <need_help_again> how would i do that OpenSorce ?
[18:16] <OpenSorce> need_help_again, yeah it's gonna need to do that. Okay, you need to put an entry in a startup file. There are a lot to choose from. I'm more of a LFS guy than an Ubuntu guy. Probably better ask one of these guys where it should go.
[18:17] <OpenSorce> need_help_again, I would open a terminal and do lsmod first just to see if it's loaded or not.
[18:18] <need_help_again> OpenSorce: its loaded
[18:19] <OpenSorce> Ah... well then it is set to load on startup
[18:22] <InSync> hi
[18:23] <gemita> Hi...am having trouble finding the config file of a program I am using. How do I navigate to this? Looked in etc and can not find anything. I am looking specifically for  ~/.config/my-weather-indicator directory
[18:23] <popey>  ~ means your home dir
[18:23] <gemita> First time trying to navigate anywhere past storage files in terminal
[18:23] <popey> so /home/alan/.config/fooo...
[18:23] <popey> (for me)
[18:23] <gemita> ill try that thanks
[18:24] <k1l_> gemita: using terminal or nautilus? in the nautilus you need to press ctrl+h to let it show hidden files and folders (the ones with the . at the name)
[18:25] <InSync> this is my first time using irc and i feel kinda lost lol
[18:25] <popey> (or in nautilus press CTRL+L and type .config - it will show it even if you have hidden files hidden)
[18:25] <gemita> kil, using terminal
[18:26] <popey> gemita: you can just type the ~
[18:26] <popey> cd ~/.config
[18:26] <k1l_> gemita: since the terminal starts at your home already. you can go with cd .config/.....
[18:27] <DChapman> cd $HOME :)
[18:27] <k1l_> just a "cd" without something more will always bring you back to your ~
[18:27] <ElLoco> Hi, I have a Lubuntu Netbook Atom n450. When I do in terminal uname -mpi I obtain i686 i686 i686. But the packages that install are i386
[18:27] <gemita> thanks Kil, that did it
[18:28] <ElLoco> what can be the reason to do that?
[18:29] <popey> ElLoco: it's a legacy
[18:29] <Kimse> How to find all preseeding questions for a given package ?
[18:29] <popey> ElLoco: i386 packages are 32-bit ones, and run on any intel/amd compatible CPU
[18:30] <OerHeks> i686 is widely used to describe 32-bit P6 processor architecture which is compatible with Pentium Pro/II and has it's instruction set.
[18:30] <artois> i386, i486, i686... hence "x86" :)
[18:31] <gemita> One more thing..how to delete a config file? By deleting it, it restores it to default, am I right?
[18:31] <popey> gemita: it might restore the app to default, depends on the app
[18:31] <OerHeks> gemita, not always, like xorg.conf
[18:31] <ElLoco> If I try to use a i686 distribution it will download i386 packages?
[18:32] <popey> ElLoco: if you install an AMD64 (64-bit) distro, you'll get amd64 packages (64-bit)
[18:32] <teward> ElLoco: i386 as an arch abbreviation includes iX86
[18:32] <OerHeks> ElLoco, there is no i686 distro version of ubuntu
[18:32] <mi11k1>  can somebody help me find the API key for Google2ubuntu.?
[18:32] <need_help> OpenSorce: i was able to fix it doing modprobe -r ideapad_laptop
[18:32] <need_help> just thought i should let you know
[18:32] <gemita> Having researched this particular app (my-weather-indicator), deleting the config file fixes the problem
[18:32] <ElLoco> aha, ok
[18:33] <popey> mi11k1: is http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys not the place?
[18:34] <popey> mi11k1: there's documentation there about how to get the API key
[18:34] <mi11k1> popey: I don't know, I can't find it anywhere.
[18:34] <mi11k1> Thanks Popey I will take a look right now
[18:34] <popey> mi11k1: it does clearly say that the page is only for people building chromium though, not specifically for the speech api key
