[14:08] <guest-8UUngS> hi does anyone know the code to upgrade to 15.04
[14:09] <k1l> guest-8UUngS: did you see the user direct you to the alpha/beta/unstable channel #ubuntu+1 ?
[14:09] <cfhowlett> guest-8UUngS, upgrade to a non-released version?  doesn't seem wise.  as noted above; #ubunt+1
[14:10] <guest-8UUngS> cheers
[14:11] <guest-8UUngS> so one around on #ubunt+1
[14:11] <Pici> its #ubuntu+1
[14:11] <Ziktofel> eny expert with combo jacks?
[14:11] <cfhowlett> !vivid | guest-8UUngS
[14:11] <Pici> z/70
[14:11] <Pici> Ziktofel: What are those?

[14:12] <Ziktofel> used for headsets
[14:14] <idocgreen> whois idocgreen
[14:16] <gerep> freeroute: hey, it worked =)
[14:17] <gerep> Now I have a nother issue related to DWM, I have the .xinitrc file just this: https://gist.github.com/gerep/082c46bb6adf7a440b4f The xsetroot is not working, any ideas?
[14:17] <gerep> Redshift, xbindkeys and dwm are working but the dmenu doesn't show what xsetroot tells to
[14:18] <gerep> I just notice I don't have x11-xserver-utils installed :)
[14:20] <zetheroo> I am trying to get a VNC connection working from an Ubuntu machine to another Ubuntu machine without any luck
[14:20] <zetheroo> On the machine that I want to remotely connect to I only have cli
[14:21] <tomodachi> zetheroo: does it have a running x server or is it a virtual X server you want?
[14:21] <zetheroo> I have installed xubuntu-desktop, xfce4, xfce4-goodies and tightvncserver
[14:22] <zetheroo> tomodachi: this is what I have been following: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-14-04
[14:23] <zetheroo> the machine I want to remotely control is a OpenVZ container running on Proxmox - the container is created from an Ubuntu 14.04 template.
[14:23] <mregg> Hi all, I'm trying to set acl on a directory. I have done it before, and this time it doesn't work... I don't know why. What I want to do : allow group1 as ro on dir1. What I do : setfacl -m d:g:group1:r-x dir1
[14:24] <zetheroo> I just cannot get anything like Remmina or vinagre to connect to the machine
[14:25] <Sc0tty-> how do I search for a file from the terminal? what command?
[14:25] <zetheroo> How do I check if VNC is running on the machine I am trying to connect to?
[14:26] <somsip> Sc0tty-: what are you trying to find? the 'find' commmand does lots of clever filtering
[14:27] <tomodachi> zetheroo: so where do you get stuck?
[14:28] <zetheroo> tomodachi:  cannot get anything like Remmina or vinagre to connect to the machine
[14:28] <Sc0tty-> I am trying to find a config file on my filesystem, I can't remember where it is saved @somsip
[14:29] <Sc0tty-> the name is inetconfig.sh
[14:30] <somsip> Sc0tty-: find {starting path} -type f -name 'inetconfig.sh'
[14:31] <somsip> Sc0tty-: where starting path should be as low as you can get. Doing it from / will take ages. Doing it from ~/ might not
[14:32] <kokut> Hello, i just moved hundreds of file from one folder to another and now i came back to the folder and accidentaly pressed control Z instead of control C and the files came back, tried pressing control Y but they dont go away, what do i do?
[14:33] <zetheroo> tomodachi: I open the SSH tunnel on my local machine, and that seem to work. But then when i try to connect to the remote machine using a VNC viewer connecting to "localhost:5901" the connection fails.
[14:34] <tomodachi> zetheroo: do you see that the machine is listening on the port?
[14:34] <tomodachi> zetheroo:  do a netstat -taupen |pastebinit
[14:34] <tomodachi> and link it here
[14:34] <zetheroo> tomodachi: no
[14:34] <zetheroo> ok
[14:34] <zetheroo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10173845/
[14:35] <tomodachi> zetheroo: your vnc isnt running
[14:35] <tomodachi> so there is nothing to connect to
[14:35] <zetheroo> :P
[14:35] <Ziktofel> any expert with combo jacks?
[14:36] <g3ky> Hey Guys, How ya all doing? =)
[14:36] <zetheroo> tomodachi: how about now? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10173860/
[14:37] <tomodachi> zetheroo: yes you see the first entry Xtightvnc on port 5901
[14:37] <zetheroo> ok
[14:38] <zetheroo> I still cannot connect to it from my local machine
[14:39] <zetheroo> vinagre gives me "Error creating the SSH tunnel. Connection refused by server"
[14:39] <tomodachi> zetheroo: firewall?
[14:39] <tomodachi> ah you are tunneling
[14:40] <zetheroo> both my local machine and the remote machine are in the same network and domain
[14:40] <zetheroo> well ... I wish I didn't have to tunnel ... :)
[14:41] <zetheroo> If I don't use the SSH tunnel option in vinagre I get: Connection closed. Connection to host <IP_ADDRESS> was closed."
[14:41] <kdu> hi all, does anybody have any clue why squid3 is not loading all images ?(its transparent and not caching anything)
[14:42] <tomodachi> zetheroo: well your problem seems to be the ssh tunnel so far
[14:42] <tomodachi> now that the vnc server is running
[14:43] <zetheroo> I have used remote desktop many times on Ubuntu machines without issues ... do they all do SSH tunneling by default?
[14:43] <zetheroo> If not how can I just get a simple remote desktop connection going?
[14:44] <jzp113> someone know the hack channel ?
[14:44] <ikonia> the hack channe ?
[14:44] <ikonia> channel
[14:44] <NikolaiToryzin> You.
[14:44] <ikonia> not here.....
[14:44] <ikonia> ubuntu support here
[14:45] <NikolaiToryzin> You're the hack channel.
[14:45] <g3ky> lol
[14:45] <cfhowlett> NikolaiToryzin, not true, not helpful.  stop.
[14:45] <cfhowlett> !behelpful | NikolaiToryzin
[14:45] <BluesKaj> jzp113, what makes you trhink there's a hack channel
[14:46] <choki> Can someone tell me a cheap graphics card to use with ubuntu to run 3 x 1440x900 displays (DVI) with?
[14:46] <zetheroo> Is there a way to enable the regular Ubuntu Desktop Sharing options via cli?
[14:46] <jzp113> BluesKaj, no I just ask
[14:46] <g3ky> zetheroo, Check out teamviewer.
[14:46] <cfhowlett> choki, ask the ##hardware channel
[14:46] <choki> cfhowlett: doesnt work i need to register tehre
[14:46] <zetheroo>  g3ky: really!? :P
[14:48] <g3ky> zetheroo, Sorry, If I misunderstood your question.
[14:53] <BlauskaerM> zetheroo: How did you set up the ssh tunnel?
[14:53] <zetheroo> BlauskaerM: I just dumbly followed this https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-14-04
[14:54] <BlauskaerM> zetheroo: Are you using putty to set up the tunnel or a linux terminal?
[14:55] <zetheroo> to connect?
[14:55] <zetheroo> I am entering in that "ssh -L 5901:<IP_ADDRESS>:5901 -N -f -l user server_ip_address" line in the terminal on my local machine
[14:56] <zetheroo> and then I am trying to use Remmina or Vinagre to open the remote desktop
[14:57] <BlauskaerM> Hmmm
[14:57] <BlauskaerM> seems right
[14:57] <Guest20057> hello
[14:57] <zetheroo> but I would rather just be able to get vino working ... as it seems to be much simpler
[14:58] <BlauskaerM> Should be the same principle
[14:58] <zetheroo> BlauskaerM: I was able to get Desktop Sharing enabled on the remote machine ... but I don't know how to get vino started
[14:58] <zetheroo> is vino a sevice?
[14:58] <zetheroo> service*
[14:59] <BlauskaerM> zetheroo: Havent tried vino =/
[14:59] <zetheroo> ok
[14:59] <BlauskaerM> But as I said, the principle should be the same
[15:00] <tomodachi> zetheroo: skip ssh forwarding through the gui ap for now , try it from terminal
[15:00] <zetheroo> tomodachi: I thought that is what I was doing ...
[15:00] <tomodachi> zetheroo: ssh -L:8082:localhost:5901<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:01] <Pici> zetheroo: what address/port are you trying to connect to with your vnc client?
[15:01] <tomodachi> zetheroo: run the command on your client machine ssh:ing into the remote server
[15:01] <tomodachi> then you can run your vnc client on your client machine with localhost as ip
[15:01] <cartwright> Pici: ban me please
[15:01] <tomodachi> and port 8082 as port
[15:02] <cfhowlett> cartwright, no need for that ... just leave
[15:02] <cartwright> cfhowlett: huh
[15:02] <zetheroo> tomodachi: ok I ran the command and am ssh'ed in
[15:02] <jb> I'm trying to determine if freeipa-client v4 will be in any future versions of ubuntu.  It looks like 15.03 will still include 3?  where can I confirm this?
[15:02] <cartwright> cfhowlett: am I talking to YOU?
[15:02] <cartwright> no.
[15:02] <cartwright> myob
[15:04] <zetheroo> tomodachi: trying to connect to the desktop with Remmina - asks for a VNC password  ...
[15:05] <tomodachi> zetheroo: good so you are there, the password I presume would be the one of the user you have on that machine
[15:05] <zetheroo> Vinagre also asks for a VNC password
[15:05] <zetheroo> ok, but that password isn't working
[15:05] <Whitor> vnc uses it's own password... it is set upon install, usually.
[15:05] <tomodachi> zetheroo: i think there is a vncpasswd command or something similair
[15:06] <zetheroo> Whitor: right, I remember that ... is there a way to reset that password?
[15:06] <Whitor> zetheroo, I believe there is a registry key you need to remove
[15:06] <Whitor> zetheroo, the other option would be to uninstall, then reinstall.
[15:07] <Whitor> that /could/ retain settings... depending on how through the uninstall is... though
[15:07] <zetheroo> :-/
[15:07] <Whitor> ^thorough
[15:08] <Whitor> zetheroo, do you have physical access to the computer?
[15:09] <tomodachi> Whitor: no its some vm someplace else
[15:09] <zetheroo> ok, I reset it using vncpasswd
[15:09] <tomodachi> zetheroo: so does it work?
[15:09] <zetheroo> but the new password doesn't work either ...
[15:09] <zetheroo> or do I need to restart some service ?
[15:10] <tomodachi> zetheroo: i think its read on startup so yes kill the service and start it again
[15:10] <zetheroo> hmm ... on restarting the vncserver service I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/10174233/
[15:10] <tomodachi> you should already know from our conversation how to verify that its upp and runing
[15:11] <tomodachi> zetheroo: and?
[15:11] <zetheroo> authentication failure :(
[15:12] <zetheroo> can't I just disable the whole authentication part? we really dont need it
[15:12] <tomodachi> zetheroo: well you are close, perhaps you can try to read the logs and try to draw some conclusions on your own? i feel that we have a lot of hand holding here
[15:13] <tomodachi> and im running out of patience / time
[15:13] <zetheroo>  tomodachi: well thanks for your help - I have been reading dozens of online sources for this all day ... so I am not just sitting here waiting to be spoon-fed either ;)
[15:14] <zetheroo> But I have found it's a good idea to consult all available sources for input, and this channel is one of them :)

[15:47] <DolphinDreamm> howdy
[15:47] <DolphinDreamm> i have ubuntu 14.04 64 bit installed.. and i'm trying to install a java program but it tells me Error unpacking jar files. The architecture or bitness (32/64)
[15:47] <DolphinDreamm> of the bundled JVM might not match your machine.  any ideas how to fix this ?
[15:54] <test_> hello
[15:54] <test_> wow..ubuntu desktop is beauful!
[15:54] <test_> I should prepare a machine for ubuntu desktop.
[15:56] <test_> anyone using amd8300 cpu? I wonder it will work great in ubuntu.
[15:56] <teward> test_: spin it up with a Live Image.  No way to get an idea without a LiveUSB / LiveCD test
[15:58] <Snickerz> live can't always be the best decision maker, you are limited to the read of the disk drive or usb slot
[15:59] <test_> I hav e a 250G ssd working on stupid cpu. heh.
[16:00] <test_> I'm thinking of amdfx8300 for new system with this ssd.
[16:02] <Snickerz> hopefully things will be optimized for those 8 core cpus that have been coming out
[16:05] <zer0h> I am unable to get past my gnome log in screen
[16:06] <K4k> zer0h: if you press Ctrl-Alt-F2, can you log in to a console?
[16:07] <zer0h> Think so
[16:07] <zer0h> I can login through lxde
[16:07] <K4k> Has anything changed recently on your system?
[16:08] <K4k> zer0h: oh, wait, you mean you can login if you choose the lxde session but not if you choose the gnome session?
[16:08] <zer0h> yes k4k
[16:09] <salvo> ciao a tutti
[16:09] <K4k> OK, just so I make sure I've got the picture of what's going on in my mind. You log in to your gnome session, it accepts your credentials and then what does it do? Does it just go blank and kick you back to the login screen or does it do something else?
[16:11] <zer0h> K4k, yes it takes in the password goes black and am back to login screen again
[16:13] <zetheroo> does Ubuntu 14.04 no longer have/use an xorg.conf file?
[16:13] <K4k> zetheroo: please paste the contents of your /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log. You'll probably have to log in to LXDE to do this.
[16:13] <Snickerz> hidelevels.set set activity_hide_level joins quits

[16:14] <K4k> !paste zer0h
[16:15] <K4k> No, I just evidently don't know how to use it...
[16:15] <zer0h> ok

[16:17] <K4k> !paste
[16:19] <zer0h> brb
[16:19] <K4k> zer0h: hmmm, that only shows your most recently login... I'm looking now to see what log has your previous attempts.
[16:21] <daftykins> K4k: i think session error files within ~ being owned by root instead of the user sometimes has something to do with that
[16:21] <daftykins> user left, though
[16:21] <K4k> daftykins: Yeah, I was thinking permissions on ~/* files but wanted to check the log first before blindly assuming :) As we saw last night, I've got a bad habit of that...
[16:22] <zer0h> K4k,
[16:22] <zer0h> My splash screen is broken too
[16:22] <zer0h> it is not being displayed properly
[16:22] <K4k> zer0h: That sounds like a seperate issue
[16:23] <K4k> Check the permission of all the files in your home directory, including the dot files. Are they all owned by you?
[16:23] <zer0h> Is there anyway I can just change them all in one go?
[16:23] <daftykins> zer0h: "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit"
[16:23] <daftykins> the idea of running a single command to shotgun a problem you're not even sure is true or not, is extremely bad logic
[16:24] <zer0h> yes I agree
[16:24] <K4k> zer0h: technically, yes, find can do that, but I'd like to do it manually for the reason daftykins said....
[16:24] <K4k> you can use find to quickly show you, though
[16:25] <K4k> find ~ ! -user $YOUR_USERNAME -o ! -group $YOUR_USERNAME -print
[16:25] <K4k> (I think OR is -o...)
[16:26] <daftykins> only the ones in the immediate root of ~ matter, so just run the above command i shared :>
[16:26] <K4k> awwww
[16:27] <zer0h> http://pastebin.com/u9FwpT88
[16:28] <K4k> daftykins: is .Xauthority supposed to be 777?
[16:28] <k1l> nope
[16:28] <daftykins> sounds like someone has been firing all kindsa commands already ;)
[16:29] <daftykins> there are 4 files in there owned by root, i don't think they're related though
[16:29] <zer0h> I just changed .Xauthority
[16:29] <zer0h> I was in between some urgent work and was trying a quick resolution
[16:29] <zer0h> which obviously failed
[16:31] <zer0h> any idea guys/ daftykins K4k
[16:32] <daftykins> so you have a backlight script that's root owned, probably not a problem - then the folder ".face" is root owned - no idea what that is
[16:32] <K4k> Well, the .Xauthority file should be 600 not 777, but I don't think that's your issue. Also, .face should probably be manu:manu, not root:root
[16:32] <k1l> at last try one could reste the gnome desktop settings. but at last resort
[16:32] <daftykins> and .rpmdb
[16:32] <k1l> zer0h: see what ".xsession-errors" says about the last login that didnt work
[16:33] <daftykins> zer0h: "pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors"
[16:33] <zer0h> http://pastebin.com/LWwkEwUM
[16:34] <zer0h> daftykins, k4k
[16:34] <zer0h> pasted
[16:34] <k1l> so you did change the fonts?
[16:35] <daftykins> that's one unhappy looking file :P
[16:35] <zer0h> No I did not change the fonts
[16:35] <zer0h> :S
[16:35] <daftykins> tested the guest account?
[16:36] <zer0h> yes
[16:36] <zer0h> gnome doesnt work
[16:36] <daftykins> alright, so sounds like system wide breakage
[16:36] <daftykins> what were you up to last? it can't have spontaneously done it
[16:37] <zer0h> I was installing wireshark
[16:37] <zer0h> I started it up
[16:37] <zer0h> then thought of a restart
[16:37] <daftykins> via what method?
[16:37] <zer0h> sudo apt-get
[16:37] <zer0h> can a system update be able to solve it?
[16:38] <zer0h> so that all broken things would be fixed?
[16:41] <K4k> This is the line that is most interesting to me from the logs: Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-khmer.conf", line 14: out of memory
[16:41] <Snickerz> what about (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2169): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **: Failed to register client: ?
[16:42] <Snickerz> or the line above that
[16:42] <K4k> Snickerz: hadn't seen that, I was reading bottom to top
[16:42] <K4k> Oh my, yes I see that now...
[16:42] <Snickerz> GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files
[16:46] <Snickerz> zer0h: try reinstalling the gnome desktop?
[16:46] <zer0h> is there anyway to reset it first?
[16:47] <daftykins> i would've been tempted to suggest renaming all your .gnome folders, but it looks like it's not relevant to your own /home settings but something system wide
[16:48] <K4k> sounds like a policykit issue. Re-installing gnome would install any missing files...
[16:48] <Snickerz> http://askubuntu.com/questions/56313/how-do-i-reset-gnome-to-the-defaults
[16:48] <zer0h> ok so i reinstall gdm is it?
[16:49] <daftykins> gdm is just a login manager
[16:49] <Snickerz> i think its gnome-desktop>
[16:49] <Snickerz> ?
[16:49] <K4k> ^^
[16:50] <K4k> apt-get install --reinstall gnome-desktop
[16:50] <bazhang> !info gnome-desktop
[16:50] <bazhang> ubuntu-desktop is what you mean
[16:51] <K4k> bazhang: was it just in precise?
[16:51] <zer0h> So am gonna do -> apt-get install --reinstall gnome-desktop
[16:51] <bazhang> !info gnome-desktop precise
[16:51] <bazhang> K4k, no
[16:51] <K4k> zer0h: no, apparently it's ubuntu-desktop, not gnome-desktop
[16:52] <zer0h> ok
[16:52] <daftykins> but ubuntu-desktop wouldn't provide a gnome session, it'd only be unity, no?
[16:52] <bazhang> is he on unity or gnome-shell
[16:52] <zer0h> I am in lxde now
[16:53] <bazhang> so lubuntu-desktop
[16:53] <rubiksmomo> Hey. I'm gonna upgrade my GPU from GTX 570 to GTX 960 soon. How should I do it? Should I (un)install some drivers before switching the iron?
[16:53] <K4k> bazhang: no, the issue is not lxde, he said he can't log in to the gnome session from lightdm
[16:53] <Snickerz> he wants to fix his gnome login though
[16:54] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: what driver do you have on right now? you'll need nvidia 340+
[16:54] <rubiksmomo> I have Nvidia binary driver v331.113 installed/loaded now. Where do I get a newer one?
[16:54] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: you'll have to remove that, then add xorg-edgers PPA maybe and install their latestr
[16:54] <tomodachi> rubiksmomo: check what versions your current driver support, usually each driver supports a wide range of cards so you probably dont need to
[16:55] <daftykins> tomodachi: wrong in this case unfortunately, 331 doesn't cover the 9xx series
[16:59] <rubiksmomo> Should I download from Nvidia website?
[17:02] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: nope
[17:02] <Snickerz> would installing the card and then running update with apt-get automatically download the need drivers?
[17:02] <Snickerz> needed""
[17:02] <rubiksmomo> OK, I'll try to install this PPA thing
[17:03] <daftykins> Snickerz: not even vaguely. newer drivers are not available in the default repos, nor would they be updated since the installed package is nvidia-331.
[17:04] <lukeyboy9559> hello
[17:04] <rubiksmomo> OK, so I do: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
[17:04] <daftykins> correct
[17:04] <rubiksmomo> awesome :)
[17:04] <daftykins> ^5 for being able to read instructions \o/ so many aren't
[17:05] <lukeyboy9559> can i run Ubuntu on normal built in system graphics ?
[17:05] <daftykins> from online - "For those planning to pick up a GeForce GTX 960, they'll work fine on the Linux distribution of your choice if using the NVIDIA 346.35 Linux driver released last week"
[17:05] <daftykins> lukeyboy9559: yes, what kind? intel on-die? AMD APU?
[17:05] <K4k> lukeyboy9559: do you know what graphics you have onboard or what processor your computer has (if you don't know the graphics info).
[17:06] <lukeyboy9559> i dont know of the top of my head :/
[17:06] <rubiksmomo> Thanks. I'll select 340.76 driver now.
[17:06] <daftykins> lukeyboy9559: are you on the system in question?
[17:06] <lukeyboy9559> no
[17:06] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: as my paste above suggests, you might need even newer
[17:07] <rubiksmomo> Umm, it's not listed
[17:07] <rubiksmomo> I'm at Software & Updates > Additional Drivers
[17:07] <steel767> what means command "shopt -s dotglob" ?
[17:07] <rubiksmomo> But they are under GTX 570 Rev.2
[17:08] <lukeyboy9559> how would i find out ?
[17:08] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: i don't think the edgers PPA is meant to affect that at all - you have presumably updated your package lists since though?
[17:08] <rubiksmomo> I did sudo apt-get update
[17:08] <daftykins> lukeyboy9559: just make up a flash drive of ubuntu 14.04.1 and boot it, that'd be the easiest way :>
[17:09] <lukeyboy9559> okay ill try that
[17:09] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: are you on trusty or utopic?
[17:09] <rubiksmomo> Trusty I think. 14.04
[17:09] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: ok so step one, remove the one via the additional drivers area
[17:10] <lukeyboy9559> ill do that and come back later :)
[17:10] <rubiksmomo> By choosing xorg driver?
[17:10] <daftykins> yeah just - none of the nvidia options
[17:10] <rubiksmomo> OK
[17:11] <rubiksmomo> Done. No proprietary drivers in use.
[17:11] <jin_baba> any place for newbies here?
[17:11] <daftykins> might need to reboot to go back to nouveau
[17:12] <daftykins> jin_baba: what are you after? this is the support channel for question asking.
[17:12] <rubiksmomo> I'll install updates and reboot
[17:13] <jin_baba> I am a windows user trying out linux for a change. Need to know if it supports any good games like AC3 etc
[17:14] <Snickerz> jin_baba: you can install steam
[17:14] <daftykins> jin_baba: yeah see Steam for an answer to that.
[17:14] <daftykins> quite honestly your idea of switching OS should not be about games :P
[17:15] <Snickerz> jin_baba: not all games are supported but they are supporting more games everyday because valve wants to base their steamOS on linux
[17:15] <jin_baba> lol yeah but I want a complete transition, don't want  going back to windows to play games :)
[17:15] <kavan> Guys I screwed up my /etc/apt/source.list, could one of you be so kind and upload a standard one?
[17:16] <rubiksmomo> daftykins: OK, X.org driver selected and rebooted. Newest Nvidia in "additional drivers" is 340.76. Could you please explain how to update to a newer one?
[17:16] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: install the package 'pastebinit' then run "apt-cache search nvidia- | pastebinit"
[17:17] <maps_> hello. I'm having trouble with RAID/LVM while installing ubuntu (server) in a HP N54L machine (server)… What do I do to wipe all drives and install only with partitioned drives instead of RAID or LVM?
[17:17] <rubiksmomo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10175687/
[17:19] <maps_> hello. I'm having trouble with RAID/LVM while installing ubuntu (server) in a HP N54L machine (server)… What do I do to wipe all drives and install only with partitioned drives instead of RAID or LVM?
[17:19] <Snickerz> maps_: you can use the drive manager that comes on the install disk
[17:20] <maps_> Snickerz: for? to delete all content on the drives before a new install?
[17:20] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: apt-get install nvidia-346
[17:21] <Snickerz> maps_: Yes, you can format the drives and partition them the wa you want
[17:21] <rubiksmomo> Installing. For some reason I lost audio. No sounds anymore. :o
[17:22] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: HDMI display with speakers or something?
[17:22] <rubiksmomo> No, 3.5mm connector on motherboard
[17:23] <daftykins> pass, i don't know audio
[17:23] <rubiksmomo> OK, that nvidia is installed. "Additional drivers" still shows X.org selected.
[17:23] <rubiksmomo> So am I using a new driver that supports GTX 960 now?
[17:24] <daftykins> did it pull in nvidia-settings as well?
[17:24] <daftykins> you're gonna want to stop paying attention to additional drivers ;)
[17:24] <maps_> Snickerz: my N54L has 3 HDDs, 250GB + 1TB + 1TB… I want 250GB for OS, 1TB for file sharing (Samba) and 1TB for postgresql databases… would you agree that I have no need for RAID/LVM with this setup?
[17:24] <daftykins> give it a restart, see if nvidia-settings is available to confirm it's active
[17:24] <ubuntu> Hello?
[17:24] <ubuntu> Is anyone there>
[17:25] <daftykins> Guest64153: yes, tonnes of people.
[17:25] <Guest64153> Hello!
[17:25] <daftykins> can we help you with something?
[17:25] <rubiksmomo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10175785/
[17:25] <Guest64153> I guess I didn't identify myself.
[17:25] <Guest64153> LOL
[17:25] <teward> Guest64153: if you have a support question and need help, you can ask your actual question.  That will allow us to try and assist, and ask for clarificatoin or additional questions if we have them.
[17:25] <Guest64153> But, I am brand NEW TO LINUX , and Ubuntu, specifically.
[17:26] <rubiksmomo> search finds "NVIDIA X Server Settings"
[17:26] <Guest64153> I didn't even know how to install Xchat, until just now; I was able to do it using the termjnal.
[17:26] <svetlana> Guest64153: welcome. use '/nick newnick' to pick a new nickname.
[17:26] <Guest64153> OK, teward.
[17:26] <steel767> what makes command "shopt -s dotglobe"?
[17:27] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: "apt-cache showpkg nvidia-settings" ?
[17:27] <t-dubs> awesome, swetlana!
[17:27] <jin_baba> do you use the same command to install each new software through command line?
[17:27] <t-dubs> Thanks bunches!
[17:27] <daftykins> jin_baba: apt-get install <packagename> yes
[17:27] <jin_baba> are package names unique?
[17:27] <rubiksmomo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10175789/
[17:28] <daftykins> jin_baba: of course, how else would you instal one thing instead of everything ever? :)
[17:28] <t-dubs> I was wondering if you guys could help me with using Startup Disk Creator..
[17:28] <bazhang> http://askubuntu.com/questions/397651/fish-shell-shopt-s-dotglob-analog steel767
[17:28] <Snickerz> maps_: As long as the drives are connected, you can access them within the filesystem and use them for whatever you need
[17:28] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: yep install nvidia-settings, then reboot into that new driver and run nvidia-settings to check out the driver status
[17:28] <t-dubs> I keep getting this error: first argument must be the method signature string: GLib.Variant('a{sv}', {})
[17:29] <jin_baba> I know that was a stupid question, sorry. What I should have asked is is there any resource that lists down all package names at one place?
[17:29] <daftykins> t-dubs: what OS are you on and what are you trying to do? put a newer ubuntu on a flash drive?
[17:29] <t-dubs> And, I googled it, but, I guess I'm just retarded, like the people over at puppy linux told me :(
[17:29] <rubiksmomo> nvidia-settings is already the newest version. Rebooting.
[17:29] <daftykins> jin_baba: apt-get update (updates your systems list of available packages from online) then apt-cache search x (searches for x)
[17:29] <t-dubs> I am running ubuntu, 12.4, I think.
[17:29] <steel767> bazhang: thanks
[17:30] <daftykins> t-dubs: so what are you trying to do? :)
[17:30] <t-dubs> No problem bazhang.
[17:30] <bazhang> steel767, more info try #bash
[17:30] <jin_baba> thanks @daftykins, you are very helpful
[17:30] <t-dubs> I am trying to make a bootable usb drive, as a back up; cause the one I'm currently yusing is getting beat up!
[17:31] <t-dubs> And, if it fails on me, I'd be SOL, atm.
[17:31] <daftykins> !manual | jin_baba as a new user you might want to have a read of this
[17:31] <gp5st> I have an empty partition before my boot partition.  Will it be a huge PITA to merge them (delete the one, move the boot partition down, and then resize the boot partition) or should I just format it and use it as a separate volume
[17:31] <maps_> Snickerz: thanks… I will give it another shot at this. I've been trying to get this up and running for the past month and half, and haven't had much success… getting tired of trying soon… but not giving up yet...
[17:31] <daftykins> gp5st: how big is it? share a screenshot on imgur.com maybe
[17:32] <bazhang> gp5st, no, use gparted
[17:32] <rubiksmomo> Rebooted. Audio is back! NVIDIA X Server Settings shows: driver version 346.35
[17:32] <daftykins> t-dubs: using 'dd' via the command line is a lot easier than messing around with these little GUI helper programs
[17:32] <gp5st> bazhang: I don't know why you said that because 1) I am 2) that's what gparted will do
[17:32] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: excellent, when the day comes you can just transplant card, boot up and it'll be as if nothing ever happened
[17:32] <gp5st> daftykins: the boot partition is ~170gb the unused is 30gb
[17:33] <daftykins> gp5st: ouch, that's quite wasteful. how'd you manage that? :)
[17:33] <gp5st> 40*
[17:33] <maps_> Snickerz: Can I format the 2x1TB drives without reinstalling Ubuntu Server? And 'remove/delete' LVM?
[17:33] <rubiksmomo> Thanks! Minor problem though. For some reason the last line started to flicker on XChat sometimes after updating the driver.
[17:33] <t-dubs> ok, datykins
[17:33] <bazhang> gp5st, you mean root I hope
[17:33] <t-dubs> SO, what do I do
[17:33] <t-dubs> Next
[17:33] <t-dubs> ??
[17:33] <daftykins> rubiksmomo: *shrug*
[17:34] <daftykins> t-dubs: given a downloaded ISO in your Downloads folder, pop the flash drive in and run "sudo parted -l" to show which device is your flash drive.
[17:34] <gp5st> bazhang: yes, thanks for the correction
[17:34] <t-dubs> I'm sorry, Im having trouble keeping up!
[17:34] <daftykins> t-dubs: (in the terminal application)
[17:34] <daftykins> t-dubs: it'll have a name like /dev/sdb
[17:34] <gp5st> daftykins: originally came with windows and wanted to keep it to play around if need be, it wouldn't boot for some reason and I couldn't fix it and kind of forgot ti was there until I started running low on space
[17:34] <daftykins> gp5st: ah then you're in for a hell of a time. i'd backup and reinstall personally
[17:34] <t-dubs> OK, will do now, daftykins!
[17:35] <gp5st> daftykins: http://i.imgur.com/TBpECGe.png
[17:36] <t-dubs> ok, daftykins  JUST ran udo parted -l in terminal
[17:36] <Snickerz> maps_: There is a disk utility that you can use to format the disk and yes you can remove lvm from my understanding of documentation
[17:36] <t-dubs> SO what am I looking for?
[17:36] <rubiksmomo> OK, good enough. I'll reboot to Windows and check Nvidia driver there. Thanks for the help!
[17:36] <daftykins> t-dubs: each device shows what size it is, hopefully you know how many GB your flash drive is
[17:36] <t-dubs> I'mreally sorry, I sufer from brain damage, due to an anoxicv brain injury
[17:37] <t-dubs> Yes, I know it's an 8 Gb drive
[17:37] <daftykins> so you should see a device called e.g. /dev/sdb with a size of 8xxxMB
[17:37] <daftykins> correct?
[17:37] <gp5st> daftykins: hmm, I don't really have the time to reinstall (always ends up being longer than I want because of this little weak I did and want back :-\) I might just format that partition and use it as a volume for some of the bulk data I'm toting around
[17:38] <t-dubs> OK, so, I have located the 8 Gb drive, daftykins, now what?
[17:39] <daftykins> t-dubs: so what's it called?
[17:39] <t-dubs> It is called USB 2.0 (SCSI)
[17:40] <t-dubs> Problem is,  I have TWO of them
[17:40] <daftykins> t-dubs: what you need to do, is run this lovely long command: "sudo dd if=/path/to/your/downloaded/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=2M" but obviously point if= to your downloaded file and of= to the device name of your flash drive (e.g. /dev/sdb)
[17:40] <t-dubs> GThe one I'm running ubuntu off of right now, AND the new one
[17:40] <daftykins> oh i see.
[17:40] <daftykins> i don't think you have enough space to download the ISO to put it on the other drive, then
[17:41] <t-dubs> Yeah, dude, It's complicated.
[17:41] <t-dubs> LOL like my relatonship status
[17:41] <t-dubs> LOL
[17:41] <daftykins> i suppose you were just hoping to clone it
[17:41] <t-dubs> It's complicated.
[17:41] <daftykins> ;]
[17:41] <t-dubs> I don't know, whatever's easier
[17:41] <Fernandooo> hi
[17:41] <daftykins> t-dubs: can you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" ?
[17:41] <t-dubs> daftykins, is there a way i could just talk to YOU?
[17:41] <Fernandooo> to make all users in the system can access my oracle client installation the next line is ok ??:
[17:42] <t-dubs> Without evreryone else?
[17:42] <Fernandooo> chmod -R 775 /export/home/user/app/user/product/11.2.0/client_1
[17:42] <daftykins> t-dubs: not really, this allows everyone to see
[17:42] <t-dubs> LOL, I can run anything..
[17:42] <t-dubs> I am able to type into the terminal, aferall
[17:42] <t-dubs> ;)
[17:42] <daftykins> t-dubs: ok fire away with those two, it'll give a link to paste back to me
[17:43] <t-dubs> ok, dude, awesome, just give me asecond or two, ok?
[17:43] <daftykins> mmhmm
[17:44] <daftykins> at this point i'm pondering whether a live USB can be dd'd to another whilst it's booted :S
[17:44] <t-dubs> ok, dude, it's running
[17:44] <t-dubs> something or other
[17:44] <t-dubs> llool
[17:45] <t-dubs> ok, it's done
[17:45] <t-dubs> Both of them
[17:45] <daftykins> did it give you an address to paste here?
[17:45] <xchatter> Why is it that I have a different keyboard layout when logging into KDE than in a terminal or shell? Drives me nuts. I am on Kubuntu 14.10
[17:45] <t-dubs> So, what did oy want?
[17:45] <t-dubs> hmm..
[17:45] <t-dubs> let me see
[17:45] <daftykins> t-dubs: like http://paste...
[17:45] <xchatter> y and z are reversed
[17:46] <t-dubs> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main pastebinit?
[17:46] <t-dubs> Is that what you wanted?
[17:46] <daftykins> t-dubs: nah should've been after the second command,  "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[17:46] <Snickerz> exit
[17:47] <tunafish_> I can't add ed25519 keys to ssh-agent, anybody know a workaround?
[17:47] <sebsebseb> hi
[17:47] <daftykins> back in a few mins
[17:47] <t-dubs> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10175992/
[17:47] <daftykins> ah there you are
[17:47] <t-dubs> Yup, so, what is that a link to?
[17:48] <t-dubs> My Info?
[17:48] <daftykins> t-dubs: the command output showing your disks :)
[17:48] <daftykins> t-dubs: now i can see your two flash drives are /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc
[17:48] <t-dubs> lol
[17:48] <t-dubs> Awesome
[17:48] <daftykins> t-dubs: try this: "sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc bs=2M" it'll take a fair while, so leave it run
[17:49] <daftykins> back in a few, i need to step away
[17:49] <t-dubs> OK, I pasted that into the terminal
[17:49] <t-dubs> But, only one of the usb drives is flashing.
[17:49] <t-dubs> Is that what you expected to see>
[17:49] <t-dubs> ?
[17:49] <t-dubs> OK, daftykins
[17:50] <t-dubs> Thanks bunches for your help so far!
[17:50] <Guest77916> hello
[17:52] <t-dubs> Soo
[17:52] <t-dubs> What's up, cfellas?
[17:52] <t-dubs> I guess the assholes over there at puppy_linux were wrong..
[17:56] <t-dubs> Soo, amn Ithe onouy one here?

[17:56] <bazhang> t-dubs, did you have a support issue
[17:57] <tunafish_> anyone using gnome-keyring alternative? like keychain? I need it since gnome-keyring doesn't support ed25519
[17:57] <t-dubs> Yes, I did, but, daftykins is currently helping me wiht it!
[17:58] <t-dubs> I think..
[17:59] <t-dubs> He said he had to leave for a fewminutes, bvut that the last thing he t9ld me to run o9n terminawould take a while to complete..
[17:59] <t-dubs> And, he was't kidding one bit!
[17:59] <t-dubs> LOL
[18:01] <t-dubs> Soo, how is everyone doing right now?
[18:08] <igor_> i

[18:20] <t-dubs> Hey there, everyone?
[18:20] <steel767> ?
[18:20] <gla> hi
[18:20] <t-dubs> I think that operation that daftykins had me do is complete.
[18:21] <nrml1> anyone here use puppet?
[18:21] <BluesKaj> did dd return to the prompt ?
[18:21] <BluesKaj> t-dubs,^
[18:21] <t-dubs> Yes?
[18:22] <gla> i am facing dependency problems installing wine-staging from a ppa on ubuntu vivid, does someone can help me, i am not very good to solve these problems with ubuntu
[18:22] <BluesKaj> read above
[18:22] <t-dubs> I don't understand the question.
[18:22] <t-dubs> What is dd?
[18:23] <t-dubs> ??
[18:23] <daftykins> t-dubs: neat, time to shutdown and see if both boot fine
[18:23] <t-dubs> Oh, ok, then daftykins!
[18:23] <gla> and i really need latest wine to test some stuff
[18:23] <BluesKaj> t-dubs, what you pasted in thge terminal
[18:23] <t-dubs> Did you get my other messages, daftykins?
[18:24] <gla> any apt dependencies guru out there? :)
[18:24] <ObrienDave> gla, vivid support in #ubuntu+1
[18:24] <azzurra> hi, i've a problem to connecting my iPhone to ubuntu. i have bluetooth. Can you help me?
[18:24] <gla> ObrienDave: thank you!
[18:24] <t-dubs> Is that a question, Daftylns?
[18:24] <daftykins> t-dubs: yep i just got back to my computer now
[18:24] <t-dubs> Daftykins*
[18:24] <t-dubs> ?
[18:24] <daftykins> t-dubs: nah just a suggestion, go give them both a try :)
[18:25] <t-dubs> OK, Will do!
[18:25] <t-dubs> So, just to be clear, here, what I (hopefully) just did was create a mirror image of one stick to the other, right?
[18:27] <t-dubs>  daftykins?
[18:27] <t-dubs> you still there?
[18:28] <daftykins> t-dubs: cloned it, yes
[18:28] <Siente> Hello guys, why when I install ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS I can't connect to the inet?
[18:28] <K4k> Siente: Are you trying to use wireless or a wired network connection?
[18:29] <Siente> K4k, wired but dhcp it should be running automatically
[18:29] <Siente> I've never had to configure my inet before
[18:29] <K4k> Unless the installer does not see your network device. Can you connect to the network if you boot in to the live CD?
[18:30] <Siente> not sure
[18:30] <Siente> I have asus maximus vi hero mobo
[18:30] <gla> is there any way to apt show deep dependency tree for a package?
[18:31] <Pici> gla: not out the box. You can install the apt-redepends package to do that though.
[18:31] <daftykins> gla: as it what it depends on? apt-cache showpkg <package> or apt-cache policy <package>
[18:31] <Pici> gla: sorry, apt-rdepends
[18:31] <K4k> Siente: I believe that's one of the ones I had the same issue with. The driver for the network card on that motherboard is not in the original 14.04 ISO. Are you using 14.04 or 14.04.1?
[18:32] <daftykins> Siente: that uses the intel I217V gigabit LAN, should work just fine. check you have an interface beyond 'lo' from "ip a" in terminal
[18:32] <gla> daftykins: the first
[18:33] <K4k> Siente: oh, nevermind, don't listen to me... must have been using 12.04, not 14.04 when I had the issue :). See if it shows up under `ip a` in the live environment as daftykins suggested.
[18:33] <t-dubs> Hey, is daftykins here?
[18:33] <daftykins> yes
[18:33] <t-dubs> Hey there, dude!
[18:33] <t-dubs> It worked!
[18:33] <t-dubs> Thanks a lot, daftykins!
[18:34] <t-dubs> You have a bitcoin address, or anything like that?
[18:34] <t-dubs> I'd be happy t5o sends you some!

[18:35] <t-dubs> OK..
[18:35] <Siente> K4k, daftykins and what if it shows up under ip a ?
[18:35] <t-dubs> Maybe nI will.. do they take bitcoiun?
[18:35] <daftykins> Siente: well i was hoping for an answer of yes or no.
[18:35] <Rapture> is it possible to have apt-get use a different port?
[18:36] <t-dubs> I have about 7 TH worth of min ing power humming away in the basement, daftykins!!
[18:36] <doubleaj> help
[18:36] <Siente> daftykins, what If I just install ubuntu 14.10 ?
[18:36] <t-dubs> Oh, yeah, dafty, i have another question
[18:36] <Siente> and what is the difference should I use 14.10 or 14.04.1 LTS?
[18:36] <t-dubs> If your up to helpiung me out, that is..
[18:36] <daftykins> t-dubs: crikey. looks like they only accept paypal
[18:37] <t-dubs> Yeah, that seems to be the goiung standard lol
[18:37] <daftykins> Siente: i wouldn't personally advise non-LTS. is there an interface or not? :P
[18:37] <t-dubs> Even tho one bitcoin is worth > $200
[18:37] <Siente> daftykins, I have to reboot my pc to check out
[18:37] <Siente> daftykins, one moment
[18:49] <Shoe14> Guys, i installed Lubuntu-desktop package group, and then i uninstalled it, but my lightdm greeter and splash screen didnt go away
[18:50] <Shoe14> do i just change the greeter?
[18:50] <Hardtail> how similar are unix based systems in terms of running commands and scripts, i.e., ubuntu and os x?
[18:51] <daftykins> Hardtail: is this for your homework? :) general chat in #linux please, only Ubuntu support here.
[18:51] <Shoe14> Hardtail: ery
[18:51] <bazhang> Hardtail, try in #bash
[18:51] <Shoe14> very
[18:52] <Shoe14> as long as they use the same shell, they are practically the same
[18:53] <Hardtail> no it's not daftykins but thanks I was going to ask about security and maintenance scripts but I will go there thx
[18:53] <Hardtail> thanks shoe14
[18:54] <daftykins> !info testdisk precise
[18:57] <Siente> daftykins, there?
[18:57] <daftykins> yep
[18:57] <Siente> daftykins, http://codepad.org/D9XTt2LN
[18:58] <daftykins> ok so eth0 might be the one, but it has no IP address. so either you're not plugged into the right thing at the other end - or it's not giving an IP by DHCP :)
[18:58] <Siente> daftykins, I have inet on my windows
[18:58] <daftykins> oh ok
[18:58] <Siente> and I only don't have inet on the ubuntu
[18:58] <daftykins> tried running "dhclient eth0" ?
[18:59] <Siente> no matter if it's 14.10 or 14.04
[18:59] <Siente> yes I tried it
[18:59] <daftykins> or generally playing around with network manager?
[18:59] <Siente> I am not sure how exactly to configure it was googling and trying several stuffs, but nothing happened
[19:00] <daftykins> Siente: you would select the wired connection, change the 'method' from DHCP to manual, then enter IP addressing info as per your home connection. you can get a copy of this from "ipconfig /all" in "cmd" on Windows
[19:01] <kanha> Hi
[19:01] <Siente> daftykins, okay, but why it's not configuring my network automatically?
[19:01] <daftykins> pass. bad driver maybe
[19:04] <vov_> hello everyone i have issue on aria2c but i can't find any channel for it . can you help me ?
[19:05] <daftykins> !alis | vov_ i have no idea what that is, but #ubuntu is not the freenode personal directory service
[19:07] <Siente> daftykins, okay thanks
[19:15] <saq> what is the go to 802.11ac wireless card for support under ubuntu? intel?
[19:17] <ZapMagnet> Good day, All.  This is my 1st use of IRCChat.  Pls forgive any initial edicate breaches.  Quick question on UbuntuStudio 14.04:  Switch User option greyed out.  Why, or where can I fix that?
[19:17] <bazhang> !studio | ZapMagnet
[19:18] <ZapMagnet> Thx.  I didn't see #ubuntustudio listed in the available nodes at left (I'm using (XChat).
[19:19] <kakashiAL> hello guys, I have an extern HD that has the ntfs format. I can add file in it in windows with no problems, but since a week I cant add files to that ntfs disk in ubuntu. If I put something in it finish 100% and says something like "input output error" or "loosed connection". I have to restart my disk
[19:19] <Shoe14> guys
[19:19] <daftykins> saq: best to look online
[19:19] <bazhang> just as an aside ZapMagnet you should consider hexchat, the maintained and still developed version of xchat
[19:19] <Shoe14> how can i strip down my ubuntu install?
[19:19] <kakashiAL> after that I can read it, but still cant save on it, because after 100% it aborts
[19:19] <saq> daftykins: i have been, what i find is people lamenting the fact that such and such isnt supported
[19:20] <saq> and then that it is
[19:20] <bekks> Shoe14: In what way?
[19:20] <saq> and then that it isnt
[19:20] <daftykins> kakashiAL: give it a chkdsk on Windows to make sure it's happy
[19:20] <saq> snapshots in time
[19:20] <kakashiAL> daftykins: I did it
[19:20] <bazhang> shoe14 use the mini iso and build up instead
[19:20] <daftykins> saq: yeah, i would doubt you'd see a -ac adapter working full speed right now
[19:20] <bazhang> !mini | Shoe14
[19:20] <kakashiAL> daftykins: no errors, and in windows it works like a rocket, very fast, very responsive
[19:20] <kakashiAL> in ubuntu it take some time until it mounts
[19:20] <daftykins> kakashiAL: are you relying on auto mounts, or manual?
[19:20] <kakashiAL> daftykins: auto
[19:20] <daftykins> USB 3 port or 2?
[19:21] <daftykins> or internal
[19:21] <kakashiAL> usb 2 (but it worked)
[19:21] <daftykins> alright, run "dmesg | tail" before plugging it in, then run it again after and share the output with us via http://paste.ubuntu.com
[19:21] <Shoe14> bekks, bazhang : i want my installation to be like ubuntu server/mini, but i have already installed ubuntu and i cant install another OS, because my laptop doesnt support USB booting and i have to manually install it by connecting my laptop hdd to desktop
[19:21] <Shoe14> so i want to strip it down
[19:22] <Shoe14> i made the mistake of installing ubuntu instead of ubunt server
[19:22] <ZapMagnet> ThkU bazhang, I'll add to my list of Things to do relating Ubuntu.
[19:22] <Shoe14> and being used to using arch on desktop, i dont like it.
[19:22] <dreamcat4> Shoe14: you could fire up gparted and re-partition your existing HDD drive
[19:22] <ZapMagnet> XChat was part of the UbuntuStudio distro.
[19:23] <dreamcat4> Shoe14: or you can re-install another linux over the existing ubuntu-desktop partitions
[19:23] <dragonmantank> I have a AMD A10-7700K with the built-in APU, but I use an nVidia GTX750 as my actual display. Is there a way I can boot the live CD/USB and direct it to use the nVidia card instead? Currently when it boots it goes to the onboard video which doesn't have anything plugged into it.
[19:23] <daftykins> dreamcat4: what does repartitioning have to do with installing the wrong image? :)
[19:23] <Shoe14> dreamcat4: thats the thing: i cant install. USB booting isnt supported.
[19:24] <Shoe14> and i would chroot and install, but i dont know how to fdo so fo ubuntu
[19:24] <Shoe14> s/fo/for
[19:24] <daftykins> !chroot
[19:24] <daftykins> now you do :)
[19:24] <kakashiAL> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10177074/
[19:25] <Shoe14> ubottu: i can chroot haha, i just dont know how to install ubuntu using the command line
[19:25] <dreamcat4> Shoe14: if you installed grub2, you can put the server .iso file on your HDD somewhere, and create an ISO boot entry in grub2 boot menu file
[19:25] <daftykins> kakashiAL: hmm, i don't have a clue what any of that relates to. so now that it's mounted, how does it operate? can't even paste on a small file?
[19:25] <Shoe14> dreamcat4: hmm, that sounds good. cheers :D
[19:26] <dreamcat4> Shoe14: np. BTW you can install and run gparted from ubuntu destop too (you just need to apt-get install gparted first)
[19:27] <Shoe14> i can partition haha, both from shell and gui
[19:27] <kakashiAL> daftykins: I am trying to put a folder that is 300mb big to that ntfs disk, after I finish the copy process this windows appears
[19:27] <kakashiAL> https://paste.xinu.at/o4B0/
[19:27] <kakashiAL> I will translate
[19:28] <daftykins> kakashiAL: that's ok i read a little German
[19:29] <kakashiAL> "error while creating the folder. the programm caused the disconnect. do you want to skip?"
[19:29] <daftykins> hmm, tell you what unmount the disk but leave it plugged in - then mount it manually via terminal and see if it works ok
[19:29] <kakashiAL> tried it in windows again, it works like a champ!
[19:30] <kakashiAL> daftykins: could you help me?
[19:30] <daftykins> kakashiAL: sure, first "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" and "mount | pastebinit"
[19:31] <kakashiAL> thanks bro
[19:32] <daftykins> that'll give me the info on where to start
[19:32] <kakashiAL> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10177146/
[19:33] <kakashiAL> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10177160/
[19:33] <daftykins> oh, it's not showing up the other disk anymore
[19:33] <daftykins> did it spin down after unmounting?
[19:33] <kakashiAL> daftykins: yep, nothing is mounted yet
[19:33] <daftykins> yeah but parted shows even unmounted disks
[19:34] <kakashiAL> wait
[19:34] <kakashiAL> now its unmounted but I can mount it via desktop, I wont do that I rewrite the commands daftykins
[19:35] <kakashiAL> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10177179/
[19:35] <daftykins> aaah there it is
[19:35] <kakashiAL> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10177180/
[19:36] <daftykins> kakashiAL: try "sudo mkdir /media/disk && sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/disk"
[19:36] <daftykins> should complete with no error
[19:37] <kakashiAL> yes, no error
[19:37] <daftykins> kakashiAL: "ls -al /media/disk | pastebinit"
[19:40] <kakashiAL> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10177201/
[19:40] <daftykins> ok that's root owned, bleh
[19:41] <EriC^^> use sudo to copy the files
[19:41] <daftykins> i was gonna remount with -o thing_i_can't_remember :D
[19:41] <daftykins> but yeah that'd work
[19:42] <EriC^^> remount,uid=1000,gid=1000 ?
[19:42] <kakashiAL> daftykins: so I cant copy and it aborts because I copy files as a normal user and not as a root?
[19:42] <daftykins> kakashiAL: yeah, permissions issue right now
[19:42] <EriC^^> it's worth a shot if you want
[19:42] <shdwsincmmxii> hello everybody :)
[19:42] <kakashiAL> how can I change it, I mean to give all users access?
[19:43] <EriC^^> kakashiAL: i guess all users can, it's mounted rwx for others
[19:43] <daftykins> kakashiAL: "sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,gid=1000 /media/disk" if i read EriC^^ correctly
[19:44] <daftykins> but i'm not sure
[19:44] <EriC^^> me neither
[19:44] <EriC^^> :D
[19:44] <daftykins> i'd have said unmount then rerun as i'm not too hot on that syntax
[19:44] <kakashiAL> hmm...
[19:45] <EriC^^> kakashiAL: it won't harm anything, if you want to try it out give it a shot
[19:45] <EriC^^> kakashiAL: just out of curiosity, otherwise you can go ahead and copy everything or modify whatever if you want, it's mounted rwx anyways
[19:45] <kakashiAL> EriC^^, daftykins: I have an idea and I try something out
[19:46] <EriC^^> kakashiAL: what's the idea?
[19:47] <delt> Hello
[19:47] <kakashiAL> I am using thunar, and I saw the rights of each folder (right click on the folder, rights) there I can read: "owner: root(root), Group: root"   I change that to my user name, not my disk is working
[19:48] <delt> where can i get the manpages for Xrender functions, is there a package i can install for that?
[19:49] <delt> manpages-dev is already the newest version.
[19:50] <EriC^^> kakashiAL: you can't change it from there, you'd need to open thunar with elevated privileges
[19:51] <EriC^^> kakashiAL: if you want you can type sudo chown -R <youruser>: /media/disk
[19:51] <OmegaOne> what are the benefits of being drunk?
[19:52] <bekks> OmegaOne: How is that related to Ubuntu? :)
[19:52] <EriC^^> kakashiAL: again, it's not needed, everybody has rwx on the files
[19:52] <kakashiAL> EriC^^: did that via "gksu thunar" :)
[19:52] <daftykins> kakashiAL: sounds good \o/
[19:52] <daftykins> kakashiAL: let us know if the copy works out any better, now
[19:52] <EriC^^> kakashiAL: ok :)
[19:52] <OmegaOne> ubuntu = puke after hangover
[19:53] <bekks> OmegaOne: Do you have a Ubuntu related support question?
[19:53] <kakashiAL> EriC^^: its okay if anyone have the rights
[19:53] <kakashiAL> daftykins: I will thanks daftykins and EriC^^
[19:53] <EriC^^> OmegaOne: obviously you've never been drunk, nobody pukes after a hangover
[19:53] <OmegaOne> EriC^^, well on my birthday i got drunk and had a bad hangover and puked
[19:54] <kakashiAL> EriC^^, daftykins: thats harddisk belongs to a friend, he uses ntfs but what is the best partition for sharing cross platforms?
[19:55] <daftykins> kakashiAL: depends how they're accessed really, i'd probably say NTFS is the easiest - maybe exFAT depending on the device type
[19:56] <kakashiAL> lets hope microsoft will support btrfs
[19:56] <bekks> kakashiAL: They never will.
[19:56] <bekks> kakashiAL: They havent supported opensource filesystems for three decades, they wont start now :)
[19:57] <kakashiAL> bekks: they will support docker, since I know that I have hope
[19:57] <bekks> kakashiAL: You've misread that. They support docker containers in their Azure cloud.
[19:58] <afroman> hello. I tried to decrypt my home folder, now I can't login again to my username. help plz
[19:59] <kakashiAL> bekks: wow, imagination destroyed
[20:00] <kakashiAL> btw: will the new LTS have mir?
[20:01] <blib> any ideas on how to fix this apt-get dist-upgrade problem -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10177464/
[20:01] <daftykins> new LTS is in 2016, so that'll take some time :)
[20:02] <daftykins> blib: that is not an officially supported device since that is an ARM thing, try #ubuntu-arm
[20:02] <daftykins> those are not official repos though
[20:02] <daftykins> so can't really help here.
[20:05] <afroman> hello. I tried to decrypt my home folder, now I can't login again to my username. I even tried to del the user so that I create it again, but I keep getting a message saying that it is in user. help plz
[20:06] <alessio1> ciao
[20:06] <EriC^^> afroman: why are you manually decrypting the home dir?
[20:08] <ljunggren> Hi, i have got Windows8 installed on my pc right now abut want ubuntu instead. Right now i have an SSD /dev/sdb and a regular hdd /dev/sda, windows is installed on my ssd /dev/sdb but there is a windows 8 loader installed on a partiotion on /dev/sda. Can i safely chose the option "replace windows 8 with ubuntu" ? I just want ubuntu installed on my SDB and leave my SDA alone
[20:08] <EriC^^> ljunggren: yeah, and choose the bootloader to be installed on SDB, and choose it in the bios to be booted
[20:08] <daftykins> ljunggren: easiest way? remove the HDD and install to the SSD alone first, right now installing is going to affect sda
[20:09] <daftykins> or do as EriC^^ said ^
[20:09] <daftykins> i prefer pulling drives to be 100% safe 8D
[20:09] <afroman> EriC^^: during the installation, ubuntu asks if U want to encrypt your home folder. which in return disable the auto log in
[20:10] <ljunggren> Oh but EriC^^ will i have the option to install the loader on sdb if i chose "Replace Windows 8 with Ubuntu" or must i chose "something else" and set up my partitions myself?
[20:10] <EriC^^> ljunggren: you'd have to choose something else, i'd do what daftykins suggested
[20:10] <gurris> Hi, just did a simulated install of  xserver-xorg-lts-utopic on trusty, however it removes a lot of fundamental packages I need, gnome-shell included. Is the LTS update also delayed?
[20:10] <ljunggren> :(
[20:11] <EriC^^> ljunggren: is it hard to remove it?
[20:11] <ljunggren> EriC^^: well yes, i have my pc in a cabine with lock so my kids wont destroy it lol. They are asleep so i figured this would be my time to install ubuntu..
[20:11] <EriC^^> ljunggren: before you choose to install ubuntu, open a terminal and type udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sda
[20:12] <ljunggren> Guess i just do it some other time
[20:12] <EriC^^> then type sudo parted -l and make sure it's not listed
[20:12] <ljunggren> EriC^^: oh and i cant acess my disks, since windows locks them somehow
[20:12] <ljunggren> windows has this "fastboot" stuff
[20:12] <EriC^^> hmm?
[20:12] <ljunggren> ill try
[20:12] <daftykins> you can turn off fastboot, but if you're just nuking the disk it really doesn't matter
[20:12] <EriC^^> ljunggren: log into windows and restart instead of shutting down, that will not get it to hibernate
[20:13] <ljunggren> Ah okey
[20:13] <ljunggren> EriC^^: what will happen  to the "windows 8 loader" partition that is on my sda? nothing right? Wont my bios try to load windows but fail ?
[20:14] <EriC^^> ljunggren: if you have uefi, then it's probably an efi partition, ubuntu will create a new entry in the efibootmgr and it's own efi partition in sdb
[20:14] <ljunggren> daftykins: how do i know if they are hypernated?
[20:14] <ljunggren> EriC^^: i don't think i have efi
[20:14] <ata_> Hello, is this channel just for technical support? Who do I need to talk to about Ubuntu sdk
[20:15] <Pici> ata_: #ubuntu-app-devel would be a good place to start.
[20:15] <EriC^^> ljunggren: if the disk is turned off during the installation, then the installer will install grub to sdb, your bios will have to be set to boot sdb first
[20:15] <ata_> Okey thank you
[20:16] <ljunggren> EriC^^: well that sounds good enough!
[20:16] <ljunggren> EriC^^: will ubuntu be bothered by my sda being a ntfs drive?
[20:16] <EriC^^> is there data on sda?
[20:16] <ljunggren> I don't really care if that disk is blasted EriC^^
[20:16] <EriC^^> ok cool
[20:16] <EriC^^> no, it wont
[20:17] <ljunggren> I just dont want ubuntu installed on it, i want it installed on SSD for speed
[20:17] <EriC^^> you can store media and other stuff and use it in ubuntu
[20:17] <ljunggren> Nice
[20:17] <ljunggren> Then off i go
[20:18] <nrml1> any of you ever done automated linux vm installs?
[20:18] <ljunggren> hey EriC^^  just one more question.. i only got a 64gb SSD.. will every app i install like steam etc take up place on my sdb?
[20:18] <nrml1> Got several hundred servers I gotta rip and replace lol
[20:18] <ljunggren> Because somehow i don't think my 64gb will last long
[20:19] <diphtherial> hey, so i have a folder that i currently own and i'd like another user on the same machine to be able to access/edit it
[20:19] <daftykins> ljunggren: you would want to resize NTFS on your mechanical disk, make an EXT4 partition and mount the steam storage path there, if you intend to play games
[20:19] <diphtherial> what's the easiest way to do that? should i create a group that contains us both and then change the group ownership of the directory to that?
[20:19] <EriC^^> ljunggren: what daftykins said
[20:19] <daftykins> diphtherial: yep
[20:19] <diphtherial> daftykins: ah, heh. thanks for the sanity check :)
[20:19] <ljunggren> daftykins: i didnt really follow
[20:20] <daftykins> diphtherial: obviously the group permissions as well as ownership, if you want the other to read or write
[20:20] <diphtherial> daftykins: right
[20:20] <daftykins> ljunggren: lets say Steam saves to /home/username/steam/gameshere - i would mount that path to a partition on the mechanical disk off-SSD to save space
[20:20] <ljunggren> EriC^^: your command to power off the drive failed "no usb device"
[20:20] <ljunggren> daftykins: how is that possible?
[20:21] <EriC^^> ljunggren: ubuntu works well with 20gb as a root partition, apps and such will be installed there, as for your personal files i guess it's up to your usage, using the hdd as a separate /home partition or an extra ext4 partition for other files is a good idea
[20:21] <daftykins> ljunggren: maybe you should start with getting ubuntu on first ;)
[20:21] <ljunggren> daftykins: oh i tought i had to do this during the install
[20:21] <diphtherial> is there a similar situation with adding groups like there is with adduser vs. useradd?
[20:21] <ljunggren> nvm then
[20:21] <EriC^^> ljunggren: ah, my bad, i guess you can only power off ext usb drives
[20:22] <diphtherial> i'm looking at the groupadd command, not sure if that's the "high-level" one
[20:22] <daftykins> EriC^^: you might still be able to via hdparm, dunno
[20:22] <ljunggren> IS there  a way to know which drive ubuntu will be installed on when chosing "replace" ?
[20:22] <EriC^^> daftykins: oh ok
[20:22] <daftykins> ljunggren: just don't, use manual partitioning to avoid trouble
[20:23] <ljunggren> daftykins: figured as much, ive never done a sucessfull install while doing my own partitioning thou
[20:23] <daftykins> ljunggren: well, coupled with a live session and imgur.com to share screenshots - all is safe \o/
[20:23] <ljunggren> daftykins: hah :)
[20:24] <ljunggren> im in live session now daftykins
[20:24] <daftykins> ljunggren: well, prior to running the installer i would dd zero the first 100MB of the SSD so it's free of windows 8 traces
[20:24] <daftykins> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=2M count=50
[20:24] <ljunggren> I will have to guess thou, the install will throw me an error
[20:25] <ljunggren> because of what you said earlier with the hypernated drives
[20:25] <daftykins> not if you nuke it first as i say ^
[20:25] <ljunggren> daftykins: there i done it
[20:26] <daftykins> you might want to quit and re-open the installer at this point
[20:26] <ljunggren> daftykins: yeah okey
[20:27] <ljunggren> daftykins: a shame i can't resize installer windows and get my whole scheme in one screenshot
[20:28] <daftykins> ljunggren: if you choose 'something else' in the installer you should get a screen like this where at the bottom, you get to choose /dev/sdb for the bootloader (GRUB) - http://s2.postimg.org/ririvoxhi/Screenshot_Install.png
[20:29] <ljunggren> daftykins: http://imgur.com/RKRiJzr
[20:29] <diphtherial> ok, so when i create new files it seems that i'm both the owner and group for that file
[20:29] <diphtherial> there isn't some way to specify for a directory that all subdirs/files belong to some group, is there?
[20:31] <EriC^^> diphtherial: chmod g+s
[20:31] <EriC^^> set the dir's group to whatever you want the files to have
[20:31] <ljunggren> daftykins: should i do something with ethe 100mb windows loader partition on sda? or just leave it?
[20:32] <daftykins> ljunggren: leave it for now, so you need to select partitions on sdb and change that bottom dropdown to sdb too
[20:32] <ljunggren> daftykins: the only thing i have dont right now is select sdb in the dropdown right now. can i click next?
[20:32] <ljunggren> done*
[20:33] <daftykins> ljunggren: no... you need to create some partitions on /dev/sdb :)
[20:33] <ljunggren> daftykins: i thought that was the next step lol
[20:33] <daftykins> ljunggren: click on /dev/sdb in the white box, then select to create a new partition table
[20:34] <ljunggren> daftykins: yeah ok done
[20:35] <ljunggren> daftykins: should i select "format" also perhaps?
[20:35] <daftykins> ljunggren: now you need to create a root partition (mount point: /) of type EXT4 with enough space left over for a swap partition after it. ideally that'll be exactly the size of your RAM
[20:35] <daftykins> you haven't got any partitions to format yet :)
[20:35] <ljunggren> lol
[20:35] <ljunggren> ok
[20:35] <afroman> EriC^^: sorry lost connection. Did U reply?
[20:36] <ljunggren> daftykins: so i got 64gb ssd, how should i place it? 8gb swap since my ram is 8gb?
[20:36] <ljunggren> Root something like 20gb?
[20:36] <EriC^^> afroman: sorry can you remind me
[20:37] <EriC^^> afroman: nevermind saw what you said
[20:37] <daftykins> ljunggren: personally, i would only put / and swap on that SSD, 64GB is tiny. i suppose you could make a /home too, but it might cause trouble in the future
[20:37] <EriC^^> afroman: during the installation you didnt choose to encrypt your home dir?
[20:37] <afroman> EriC^^: ok
[20:37] <daftykins> ljunggren: the best way i've seen to handle systems with SSDs and HDDs, is to symlink ~/Media folders onto the hard disk, so that /home with all the .config folders stay on the fast SSD
[20:37] <ljunggren> so i would take 8gb swap and the rest to / ?
[20:37] <daftykins> ljunggren: yep
[20:38] <afroman> EriC^^: no I choose to encrypt
[20:38] <jayjo> I'm working on a remote server, is there a way to enable git to have sudo power so I don't have to sudo every git command I run?
[20:39] <EriC^^> afroman: ok, why did you manually decrypt it? it's supposed to decrypt when you login i think
[20:39] <daftykins> jayjo: sudo -i first, just don't do anything stupid whilst root ;)
[20:39] <daftykins> jayjo: or -s, see "man sudo" for more
[20:39] <jayjo> daftykins: ok, thanks
[20:39] <EriC^^> afroman: dont tell me you want it encrypted with autologin? :P
[20:40] <ljunggren> daftykins: 56gb / and 8gb swap. Can i press next?
[20:40] <daftykins> ljunggren: give me a screenshot to confirm, with the white box scrolled to the bottom. use alt+print-screen to take just the installer window :)
[20:40] <afroman> EriC^^: no :). I wanted to be able to auto login. so I had to remove the encryption
[20:40] <ljunggren> daftykins: swap is "logic" ?
[20:40] <EriC^^> afroman: oh ok :)
[20:41] <daftykins> ljunggren: i don't really understand the question
[20:41] <daftykins> logical drive?
[20:41] <EriC^^> afroman: so you decrypted the dir, did you make another user and copy the files there?
[20:41] <ljunggren> daftykins: when i shall create the swap, it have a choice "primary" or "logical"
[20:41] <daftykins> ljunggren: ah i see, primary is fine for both swap and /
[20:41] <afroman> EriC^^: http://www.howtogeek.com/116179/how-to-disable-home-folder-encryption-after-installing-ubuntu/
[20:42] <afroman> EriC^^: I used this method
[20:42] <ljunggren> daftykins:  http://imgur.com/TlXE6Fk
[20:43] <ljunggren> daftykins: this is the newest http://imgur.com/7B3BZEj
[20:43] <daftykins> ljunggren: looks good to me, just remember you'll need to change your boot order in BIOS/EFI after
[20:43] <ljunggren> daftykins: i will try to remember that
[20:43] <ljunggren> i just click next now
[20:43] <daftykins> yep
[20:44] <daftykins> ljunggren: what langauge is that by the way? :)
[20:44] <ljunggren> daftykins: swedish
[20:44] <rus> quit
[20:44] <afroman> EriC^^: still there?
[20:44] <ReinH> What would be the best way to run a script at some fixed time after a system boots? Upstart task that uses at?
[20:44] <daftykins> ah-ha :)
[20:44] <ReinH> But then I have to wait for at to be started, right?
[20:44] <EriC^^> afroman: ok, did you do the sudo rm -rf ...../.ecryptfs command?
[20:45] <afroman> EriC^^: yep
[20:45] <EriC^^> ok, when you login what happens
[20:45] <rus> wassup everybody!
[20:45] <ljunggren> daftykins: hey, i planned on doing a little gaming. Does 14.10 comes with newer fglxr drivers than 14.01 ? because i chose LTS because stability
[20:45] <rus> dont think so, not sure though
[20:45] <afroman> EriC^^: nothing... I see the splash for a sec, then returns to the login screen
[20:46] <ljunggren> hey rus
[20:46] <rus> Hey man
[20:46] <daftykins> !info fglrx trusty
[20:46] <daftykins> !info fglrx-updates trusty
[20:46] <EriC^^> afroman: ok, login using the other account you created, open a terminal and type ls -ld /home/<your user>/.Xauthority
[20:46] <afroman> EriC^^: however the tempuser works fine
[20:47] <ljunggren> Ah it's the same packages, i planned on installing from website anyhow thanks EriC^^
[20:47] <daftykins> ljunggren: ^ not sure if those version numbers seem accurate, if you wanted newer you could go to AMD direct. depends on the card
[20:47] <ljunggren> daftykins: yeah that is what im planning. Another headache heh
[20:47] <daftykins> good ol' AMD :)
[20:47] <afroman> EriC^^: root????
[20:47] <ljunggren> I chose the wrong card...
[20:48] <ljunggren> daftykins: planning on buying a 770 or a 970 thou. Hope its good enough for Linux  in some 1080p gaming
[20:48] <EriC^^> afroman: type ls -l /home/user/ , are other files owned by root too or tempuser?
[20:48] <lnxuser> hi all!
[20:48] <mas886> Hi
[20:48] <daftykins> ljunggren: depends on the game i guess, no idea here
[20:48] <afroman> EriC^^: all root
[20:48] <EriC^^> afroman: i think you missed the -p in the first sudo cp -rp /home/user /home/user.backup
[20:48] <lnxuser> steam on ubuntu 14.04 64bit work?
[20:48] <ljunggren> daftykins: yeah nothing fancy. is there a wiki on the ssd symlink stuff you talked about earlier? would be nice to set it up
[20:49] <EriC^^> afroman: or you did a sudo cp later instead of moving them
[20:49] <ljunggren> lnxuser: sure hope, instlaling 14.04 right now
[20:49] <EriC^^> ( moving them keeps the permissions )
[20:49] <mas886> One question, could someone say me a good electronical circuit simulator for ubuntu?
[20:49] <EriC^^> afroman: anyways type sudo chown -R <youruser>: /home/user ( note the : is important )
[20:49] <daftykins> ljunggren: not that i know of. symlinks are pretty basic, but you'll need to look at resizing your NTFS partitions on the other disk first
[20:49] <ReinH> I guess I can sleep in a @reboot in a crontab
[20:50] <ReinH> That seems simplest.
[20:50] <daftykins> ljunggren: i think booting and fully updating this clean install will be step #1 :)
[20:50] <lnxuser> steam not working since yesterday
[20:51] <ljunggren> daftykins: yes indeed
[20:51] <mas886> One question, could some one say me a good electronical circuit simulator for ubuntu? I tried ubuntu but alot of components are missing.
[20:51] <ljunggren> daftykins:  i chose update during install so lets just make it bootin
[20:51] <mas886> I tried oregano*
[20:51] <mas886> sorry
[20:52] <afroman> EriC^^: awesome
[20:52] <daftykins> ljunggren: ;) that was brave
[20:53] <afroman> EriC^^: let me give it a try, brb
[20:53] <EriC^^> ok
[20:53] <ljunggren> daftykins: i always check that box.. is it known for causing trouble?
[20:53] <daftykins> i've seen a lot of drama yeah
[20:53] <ljunggren> wops
[20:53] <daftykins> no matter though, we'll see what happens
[20:53] <ljunggren> yeah haha
[20:57] <Mtik1> hello
[20:57] <ljunggren> daftykins: time for reboot, cya on the flipside
[20:57] <Mtik1> i share my Wifi internet throught ethernet with this methode
[20:57] <Mtik1> http://askubuntu.com/questions/359856/share-wireless-internet-connection-through-ethernet
[20:58] <Mtik1> How can i enable DHCP server on Ethernet?
[20:58] <szlobizoli> Hi! Is hier somebody, who would help me to choose the right distrib?
[20:58] <daftykins> Mtik1: it should be auto already
[20:59] <Mtik1> daftykins after sharing internet throught
[20:59] <daftykins> szlobizoli: this channel is for Ubuntu support, you can chat in #linux to pick a distribution
[20:59] <Mtik1> on etrhernet is IP: <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:59] <daftykins> Mtik1: correct
[20:59] <Mtik1> broadcast address: <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:59] <rus> me &2
[20:59] <Mtik1> but on clients
[20:59]  * rus &2
[20:59] <Mtik1> i need manual set iP
[20:59] <szlobizoli> Thanks! All good!)
[21:00] <Mtik1> i want enable dhcp on ethernet ubuntu
[21:00] <Mtik1> daftykins how?
[21:00] <ljunggren> daftykins: up and running :)
[21:00] <daftykins> \o/
[21:00] <ljunggren> daftykins: :D:D
[21:01] <daftykins> that was painless, good job
[21:01] <ljunggren> daftykins: it booted so fast i didnt even got a chance to get worried
[21:01] <ljunggren> daftykins: i had to chose ubuntu in the grubmenu thou.. can that menu be disabled since i wont have any use for it?
[21:02] <daftykins> ljunggren: might be worth checking if it has a timeout in seconds it reaches before it boots auto
[21:02] <EriC^^> ljunggren: type sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[21:02] <ljunggren> daftykins: so, now to my other issue... my sda is still "hypernated" or something because i dont have permission to access it
[21:02] <daftykins> Mtik1: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/dhcp.html
[21:03] <EriC^^> ljunggren: add a # before GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT , then save with ctrl+o and sudo update-grub
[21:03] <afroman> EriC^^: thx a lot, U r awesome. it works fine, even the auto login :)
[21:03] <afroman> how did I miss that?
[21:03] <ljunggren> EriC^^: it says 0 in hidden timeout
[21:03] <EriC^^> afroman: great :)
[21:03] <ljunggren> but 10 in actual timeout
[21:03] <ljunggren> GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
[21:03] <EriC^^> ljunggren: add a # before GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT
[21:04] <ljunggren> oh ok
[21:04] <ljunggren> EriC^^: there already is a # there
[21:04] <ljunggren> what about the GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
[21:04] <EriC^^> ljunggren: ah, try removing it
[21:05] <lnxuser> hi all
[21:05] <ljunggren> EriC^^: try remove what? the # before GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT? or the GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 ?
[21:06] <EriC^^> the # before GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT
[21:06] <lnxuser> you working steam?
[21:06] <ljunggren> ok
[21:06] <ljunggren> How can i access my sda now? it says i don't have permission do acess it
[21:06] <EriC^^> ljunggren: you can't mount it in nautilus?
[21:06] <ljunggren> EriC^^: no
[21:06] <ljunggren> there is a long error message
[21:07] <cmullinax> Any here able to walk through advantages to having TRIM run at boot for a laptop vs. a cron job?
[21:08] <ljunggren> "The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shtdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting) or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option" daftykins , EriC^^
[21:08] <EriC^^> ljunggren: nuke the partition table like earlier and make new ntfs or ext4 partitions
[21:09] <ljunggren> EriC^^: heh, just nuke sda from gparted then? will i have permission to do it?
[21:09] <EriC^^> yeah
[21:10] <daftykins> is it really still called sda even now 0o
[21:10] <daftykins> cmullinax: waste of time, anything else? :)
[21:10] <ljunggren> daftykins: yes
[21:11] <ubuntunewb> Hello, is this the right channel if I have a question regarding Ubuntu?
[21:11] <daftykins> yes
[21:12] <daftykins> ubuntunewb: ask away, with detail, on one line
[21:12] <ljunggren> snap, to nuke my 500gb disk takes 2HOURS?!
[21:12] <n1cky> hey i just converted my arch linux install to ubuntu, everything went very smoothly
[21:12] <daftykins> ljunggren: er, how are you doing it?
[21:12] <EriC^^> ljunggren: noo, delete the partition table and create a new one
[21:13] <realBigfoot> does anyone know how to install gnome-shell ?
[21:13] <ljunggren> EriC^^: i was trying in the "disk" app?
[21:13] <ubuntunewb> I want to setup KVM on Trusty Thar 14.04 and I don`t find any good / complete guide online. I have single IPs on different networks (different broadcast, gateway) and I don`t get how to build that "bridge" network interface, do I need an own bridge for each IP of each subnet?
[21:13] <n1cky> anyone know how I can fix the keyboard layout? i accidently selected US interenational when i installed
[21:13] <n1cky> i don´t have a gui.
[21:13] <EriC^^> ljunggren: no, use gparted, sudo apt-get install gparted
[21:13] <ljunggren> lol thanks
[21:14] <mas886> 3
[21:14] <EriC^^> realBigfoot: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell or ubuntu-gnome-desktop
[21:14] <realBigfoot> Thanks ;)
[21:14] <svetlana> n1cky: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data"
[21:14] <mas886> I don't know why do I even ask anything here, if you just ignore the questions, then you will know why isn't your system more extended.
[21:14] <EriC^^> np
[21:15] <svetlana> n1cky: i suspect, i'm not sure
[21:15] <ljunggren> WOHO
[21:15] <ljunggren> its done
[21:15] <hexafluoride> A. L'mao
[21:15] <n1cky> thank you svetlana, installing that package fixed it.
[21:15] <ljunggren> now gotta reboot again, cya
[21:16] <svetlana> n1cky: you're welcome.
[21:16] <NikolaiToryzin> hexafluoride: Please don't troll.
[21:17] <hexafluoride> fag
[21:17] <ubuntunewb> anyone? basically I already know the CPU supports vmx and its enabled in the BIOS, so it should work. Basically my question is about "network configuration". Can I add IPs from different subnets to one network interface?
[21:18] <daftykins> ubuntunewb: well, they wouldn't be able to get online if you mix subnets on one interface
[21:18] <daftykins> ubuntunewb: this is more networking theory than OS support
[21:18] <ljunggren> there EriC^^ and daftykins . I now got a clean ubuntu install with everything working! thank you both for your support
[21:19] <EriC^^> no problem :)
[21:19] <daftykins> ljunggren: ^ :)
[21:21] <ljunggren> lnxuser: hi, are you having trouble with steam?
 Yes not started
[21:24] <Justin__> Is okay that I tar gunzip a group of files that includes an already tar.gz file? Am I causing harm in this sitation?
[21:24] <bipul> Hello anyone around?
[21:25] <KLVTZ> bipul: hello
[21:25] <daftykins> !ask | bipul
[21:25] <KLVTZ> !patience
[21:25] <captaincool> using 14.10 is there a way to see the full path of a smb share so that I can add that to /etc/fstab to have it mount permanently?  I'm using an asus router to share two usb hdd's and I'm trying to have those permanently mounted so that universtal media server can see my files all the time.  Any help would be appreciated.
[21:26] <captaincool> all I see when using ctrl+L is smb://sharename
[21:26] <captaincool> in nautilus
[21:26] <daftykins> captaincool: what? smb://IP address/sharename
[21:26] <daftykins> captaincool: but you'd need to be on a static IP.
[21:26] <captaincool> I am
[21:26] <bipul> Could anyone please tell me the back end process  of this command "sudo ee site create example.com --wp"  here ee is a bash script
[21:26] <NegativeFlare> !samba | captaincool
[21:26] <Loshki> KLVTZ: yes, it's ok to have a tar.gz inside a tar file, though it's not particularly efficient.
[21:27] <daftykins> bipul: read the script and see, doesn't seem to be anything to do with Ubuntu
[21:28] <captaincool> i get Mounting cifs URL not implemented yet. Attempt to mount smb://mediashare/wd_hdd/
[21:28] <captaincool> when doing mount -a
[21:28] <KLVTZ> Loshki: will it hurt the process of un-compressing it? Or is it more effecient to keep those separated?
[21:28] <bipul> daftykins, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vipullinux/easyengine/master/bin/install
[21:30] <Loshki> KLVTZ: the important bit is that it will work and you will get all your files back. The only real cost is that you are recompressing an already compressed file and decompressing it again later, which is a waste of cpu time and disk space, but otherwise harmless.
[21:30] <daftykins> bipul: so it's some third party program on github, go check them out - but it has nothing to do with ubuntu
[21:31] <yoda> stupid general question ion linux i know the kerenl is gnu licensed but for all the other programs ,utils,grub,compilers,...etc for linux systems for the most part gnu software
[21:31] <bipul> daftykins, I am trying to install on a ubuntu.
[21:31] <yoda> ion = on
[21:31] <daftykins> bipul: so contact them for how :)
[21:32] <yoda> or do they fall under a differentnongnu licenses
[21:32] <daftykins> bipul: just so you know though, the best way to learn website administration is to do it manually - not learn all these little "helper" programs
[21:32] <sudormrf> question for you ladies and gents.  which mail client do you prefer for your linux desktop?
[21:32] <daftykins> yoda: as your questions are general, take them to #linux
[21:33] <yoda> and can i say ubuntu linux uses for the most part gnu based software for everything
[21:33] <daftykins> yoda: this for your homework huh?
[21:34] <hamedshahien> hello every body
[21:34] <yoda> sort of just curious if every thing for the most part on linux is under a gnu software
[21:34] <KLVTZ> Loshki: thanks for taking the time to explain this.
[21:34] <daftykins> yoda: #linux then
[21:34] <sudormrf> captaincool, I think the syntax of the message you posted explains the issue. unless you have verification that this works for others?
[21:34] <k1l_> yoda: see this list what is gnu software: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GNU_packages
[21:34] <yoda> as well ubuntu being one great flavor
[21:34] <sudormrf> I like cookies n' cream myself
[21:34] <k1l_> yoda: that is kind of some basis, but for daily use you use a lot of programs that are not gnu.
[21:34] <Loshki> KLVTZ: you're most welcome...
[21:35] <daftykins> sudormrf: webmail. :)
[21:35] <hamedshahien> I need to connect external monitor to my laptop but the resolution is very low . any idea ?
[21:35] <sudormrf> daftykins, always swimming upstream :P
[21:35] <daftykins> sudormrf: not sure what you mean by that
[21:35] <hamedshahien> have you any idea about solving resolution
[21:35] <sudormrf> daftykins, do you use roundcube?
[21:36] <daftykins> never heard of it
[21:36] <Loshki> sudormrf: gmail :-)
[21:36] <daftykins> ^
[21:37] <sudormrf> daftykins, it's a web frontend for things like postfix
[21:37] <sudormrf> ah, you guys use gmail
[21:37] <sudormrf> ic :)
[21:37] <daftykins> yeah, hosting yourself is just an unnecessary headache
[21:37] <sudormrf> heh, agree :D
[21:37] <daftykins> i put gapps out for most.
[21:38] <palecrow> #openstack-horizon
[21:38] <sudormrf> #sudormrf
[21:38] <captaincool> sudormrf, I guess I don't know what I should be using instead of that path
[21:39] <sudormrf> captaincool, I didn't follow your whole issue, just caught the tail end
[21:39] <captaincool> is it okay to repaste my question in here?
[21:40] <sudormrf> hold
[21:40] <sudormrf> I will scroll up
[21:40] <Loshki> sudormrf: well, for work, I used mh-e, because mail volumes were astronomical, and someone else took care of backups etc., and you don't want your corporate email being read by google, but for casual email, why bother with anything more complex?
[21:40] <sudormrf> capri, in summation, you have 2 USB drives attached to your computer that you want to share over the network and have them mounted permanently in your router, is that correct?
[21:41] <sudormrf> Loshki, ic
[21:41] <captaincool> me? yes
[21:41] <svetlana> yoda: the bash you're using is gnu bash. the desktop you're using, if gnome, is a gnu desktop. some bash utils also come from gnu.
[21:41] <captaincool> um no
[21:41] <captaincool> I have an asus router
[21:41] <captaincool> which is sharing two usb drives
[21:41] <captaincool> already
[21:42] <captaincool> I just want to mount them in ubuntu permanently so Universal media server has access to them
[21:42] <svetlana> yoda: gnu is not as much about doing all the things as about establishing ethical freedom of software, and launching new projects to fill the proprietary gaps. www.gnu.org homepage, and http://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html, may be relevant.
[21:42] <captaincool> but I can't see the correct full network path anywhere
[21:43] <bipul> !libexpat1-dev
[21:44] <captaincool> so that I can add it to /etc/fstab
[21:46] <frenchpress> So, I'm getting an error every time I install something with apt-get : common-update-notifer \ E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkh returned an error code (1)
[21:47] <yoda> so would it be safe to say the majority of software or programs running on a linux or linux based os mostly like 90% gnu based software
[21:47] <frenchpress> Someone ran into the same problem back in 2008, or so it seems, and resolved this by `sudo dpkh --remove --force-remove-reinstreq common-update-notifier`
[21:47] <frenchpress> dpkg**
[21:47] <k1l_> frenchpress: can you paste the whole output into a pastebin and show the link here?
[21:48] <frenchpress> k1l_: You know what, I'll do that. one moment please
[21:49] <k1l_> yoda: the more "philosophical" talk about what gnu is or not would better suit into #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[21:49] <ljunggre1> Hi, someone has noticed when using fglrx and resizing windows lags a lot and eventually just crash your desktop? it freezes for me constantly
[21:50] <frenchpress> http://sprunge.us/SSaF
[21:50] <jhutchins> ljunggre1: Not generally.
[21:50] <jhutchins> ljunggre1: 14.10/Unity?
[21:50] <ljunggre1> jhutchins: hmm
[21:51] <frenchpress> sorry, it was update-notifier-common (I am on a different computer now)
[21:51] <ljunggre1> jhutchins: 14.04.1 Unity
[21:51] <ljunggre1> fglrx-updates
[21:51] <yoda> on last gnu question is the fsf.org sites software hosted equivalently on gnu ftp site or do the fsf.org have software they host the gnu ftp mirrors don't have?
[21:51] <daftykins> yoda: how many times do i need to tell you to ask in #linux before you take the hint? :)
[21:51] <jhutchins> ljunggre1: Reports of flash blanking/crashing, but not window resize.
[21:52] <k1l_> frenchpress: what ubuntu is that exactly?
[21:52] <frenchpress> k1l_: Excellent question: 14.04
[21:54] <k1l_> frenchpress: some changes made to the system? like to python?
[21:54] <frenchpress> k1l_: I use virtualenvs regularly
[21:55] <frenchpress> k1l_: I may have sudo pip installed matplotlib in the past though
[21:55] <frenchpress> k1l_: Because matplotlib doesn't care about non-anaconda users. It's most hateful discrimination there is
[21:55] <Pici> frenchpress: Are you sure you aren't in an activated virtualenv?
[21:56] <frenchpress> Pici: I am inside an activated virtualenv, but the same problem happens when I use Synaptic
[21:57] <frenchpress> Same exact error outside of virtualenv as well
[21:57] <k1l_> frenchpress: scroll down to the "my solution" answer:http://askubuntu.com/questions/246970/apt-get-broken-no-module-named-debian-deb822  it talks about reinstalling python-chardet
[21:59] <frenchpress> k1l_: Nice find, I'll follow closely, but what the hell is python-chardet?
[21:59] <k1l_> frenchpress: i have never seen this issue or that package before, too :)
[21:59] <OerHeks> i find this interesting for frenchpress > " ls /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chardet " to see if there is an problem >>> http://askubuntu.com/a/548773
[22:00] <OerHeks> ah k1l_ found that too
[22:01] <frenchpress> OerHeks: Great minds think alike
[22:01] <frenchpress> OerHeks: (you and k1l_, not me)
[22:01] <k1l_> :) very charming
[22:02] <OerHeks> i did learned something from him, true
[22:03] <frenchpress> I am not experiencing the same symptoms as the poster, I have no issues running chardet, and have all of those files in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chardet
[22:03] <frenchpress> Should I just reinstall it anyway?
[22:03] <OerHeks> You could reinstall python, that should not hurt.
[22:04] <frenchpress> That won't remove site-packages will it?
[22:05] <OerHeks> It will give you a warning if some packages are removed, i guess
[22:05] <chebit> hello, I have a problem with ubuntu 14.04, the system setting disappeared, I reinstalled but not install everything,
[22:05] <chebit> I reinstalled but not install everything, everything is weird.
[22:05] <captaincool> Okay I'm still trying to figure this share path out for a smb share, How do I tell what the path for smb://mediashare/100gb/  I need the full path for /etc/fstab so I can mount this permanently.
[22:06] <captaincool> for example smb://mediashare/100gb/ would be //<IP_ADDRESS>/???/mediashare/100gb
[22:08] <OerHeks> captaincool, there is a nice wiki for that > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[22:09] <captaincool> OerHeks, I've been looking at that and some other pages for a few hours now, my problem comes when I hit this step >
[22:09] <captaincool> Then edit your /etc/fstab file (with root privileges) to add this line:
[22:09] <captaincool> /servername/sharename  /media/windowsshare  cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8  0  0
[22:09] <captaincool> I don't know what to put for the /servername/sharename
[22:09] <daftykins> captaincool: router IP
[22:09] <captaincool> because the path only comes up as smb://sharename
[22:10] <ilyas> Hi
[22:10] <ilyas> I don't have the sound in my ubuntu. I just installed it
[22:11] <captaincool> daftykins, no such device or address
[22:11] <daftykins> captaincool: you are talking about mounting this share on your router, yes?
[22:12] <captaincool> yes I have a usb hdd which is shared as a smb share by my asus router.  I just want to mount that permanently in my fstab
[22:13] <sliddjur> is it possible to change song in spotify app via cli?
[22:13] <captaincool> no the share is already good to go
[22:13] <captaincool> I can access it on windows and ubuntu if I go to browse network on ubuntu
[22:13] <captaincool> I want it mounted permanently on ubuntu so my media server can share the usb drive
[22:14] <OerHeks> !sound | sliddjur
[22:14] <captaincool> the problem is that /etc/fstab can't use smb://sharename as a path
[22:14] <daftykins> captaincool: yeah that's what i mean, it tells you the path on the page i bet.
[22:15] <daftykins> captaincool: yeah, it uses //IP address/share
[22:15] <OerHeks> or sliddjur, what device is your output? hdmi/monitor?
[22:15] <sliddjur> OerHeks: hdmi output
[22:15] <Fex> hello
[22:16] <daftykins> captaincool: first off unmount it from any graphical mounting you've done in nautilus, then do a test mount with "sudo mkdir /mnt/share && sudo mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/share /mnt/share -o user=guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8"
[22:17] <OerHeks> sliddjur, known issue on ALL linux versions, this page might be your help too http://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1404/
[22:20] <jimmy51v_> i have some custom html files with a non standard extension.  *.cfml   how do i set my mime types such that the system treats them as html files?
[22:20] <jimmy51v_> i've edited /etc/mime.types and also edited /usr/share/mime/text/html.xml
[22:20] <jimmy51v_> neither seems to have mad a difference
[22:21] <captaincool> daftykins, here is the command I used after creating the dir
[22:21] <captaincool> sudo mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/mediashare/wd_hd /mnt/share -o user=guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8
[22:21] <captaincool> those are what should be the parts of  the path
[22:21] <captaincool> but I think there may be a directory missing
[22:23] <captaincool> but of course the only path I can nail down with nautilus is smb://mediashare/wd_hdd/
[22:23] <captaincool> is there no way to see the whole network path?
[22:24] <Ben64> if you use smb://mediashare then you dont use that in //IP/sharename
[22:24] <daftykins> captaincool: what does "df -h" show?
[22:24] <captaincool> Ben64, that would work but /etc/fstab will not allow smb://path
[22:25] <Ben64> captaincool: yes, we're well aware. and you've been told the correct syntax quite a few times already
[22:25] <ejuan> daftykins,  disk free human readable
[22:26] <daftykins> ejuan: well done. i did not need to be told that, however.
[22:26] <captaincool> Ben64, Sorry but I haven't.  it's not working.  I can browse to the share with network browser, I need that path.
[22:26] <captaincool> Ben64, I'm not saying it's not my fault mind you
[22:26] <Ben64> captaincool: you need to listen. in fstab you do //IP/sharename
[22:27] <captaincool> Ben64, I've tried that yes that's not working
[22:27] <Ben64> what exactly did you put in there
[22:27] <captaincool> daftykins, can I paste 5 lines here?
[22:27] <Ben64> no, use a pastebin
[22:27] <ejuan> mah b
[22:27] <captaincool> okay
[22:28] <OerHeks> jimmy51v_, just rightclick in filebrowser: open with > firefox/chrome/any browser ?
[22:28] <captaincool> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10178993/
[22:28] <jimmy51v_> OerHeks: eh... got a CLI method?
[22:28] <Ben64> captaincool: what is that for
[22:29] <daftykins> i asked
[22:29] <captaincool> daftykins, asked for it
[22:29] <Ben64> oh
[22:29] <Ben64> didn't see that
[22:29] <daftykins> captaincool: nm, it isn't mounted so useless
[22:29] <Ben64> captaincool: paste the line you added to fstab here
[22:30] <captaincool> /<IP_ADDRESS>/MEDIASHARE/WD_HD/ /media/wdhd cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8  0  0
[22:30] <daftykins> its //192
[22:30] <Ben64> right, like you've been told, its //IP/share, not //IP/machine_name/share
[22:30] <Ben64> make sure "Mediashare"'s IP is <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:31] <captaincool> Ben64, It is, I just tried //<IP_ADDRESS>/WD_HD/ /media/wdhd cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8  0  0
[22:32] <captaincool> still no device or address
[22:32] <Ben64> captaincool: pastebin the output of this command... "smbclient -L <IP_ADDRESS>"
[22:34] <captaincool> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10179056/
[22:35] <Ben64> then you need additional authentication
[22:35] <jarvis_> hey
[22:35] <captaincool> that's what I thought too but there is no password on that share at all.   I'm building a gaming computer and am wondering which video card will work better for spanning 3 screens for gameplay.
[22:39] <captaincool> I should have thought of that before
[22:41] <daftykins> MrJerome: i would think game support on Linux would be your biggest enemy, not hardware - done some research online?
[22:41] <natewalck> So this is interesting: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/
[22:42] <daftykins> natewalck: support questions only, thanks
[22:42] <natewalck> daftykins: np!
[22:43] <natewalck> daftykins: is there a casual ubuntu chat channel anywhere?
[22:43] <daftykins> !ot
[22:43] <natewalck> perfect, thanks!
[22:43] <MrJerome> daftykins: Steam is working nicely for me, and the main game I will be playing is iRacing which is available on linux. My only concern is the eyefinity/sli 3-monitor support, and which vendor has better support for linux.
[22:45] <daftykins> MrJerome: ok, sounds good
[22:50] <captaincool> Ben64 and daftykins thanks to both of you for your help, I just got it working.
[22:50] <daftykins> great
[22:50] <captaincool> ended up just creating a username/pw for the share on the router
[22:51] <daftykins> yeah guest never works well
[22:51] <captaincool> works great now.  And that was the last hurdle for me dumping windows completely!
[22:51] <OerHeks> nice captaincool, have fun !
[22:51] <rotten777> hey guys I'm running into a weird issue where my when I try to launch gedit from the launcher (unity) it doesn't launch
[22:51] <rotten777> but I can launch it from the terminal
[22:53] <rotten777> no error messages or anything
[22:54] <captaincool> as well it wouldn't mount the whole drive as a share, I had to mount a directory on the drive instead
[23:15] <Bray90820> I'm trying to install teamviewer on Ubuntu 14.10  X64 but lib32asound2 dependency isn't met
[23:17] <daftykins> Bray90820: tried the 32-bit instead?
[23:18] <Bray90820> daftykins: The 32bit of teamviewer or the 32bit ubuntu?
[23:18] <daftykins> teamviewer
[23:19] <daftykins> i would welcome a good slap across the face for the latter
[23:19] <svetlana> Bray90820: i wouldn't use teamviewer, it's proprietary - there are better alternatives (vnc or xrdp as a server; vnc or a standard something thing included with gnome as a client)
[23:19] <daftykins> those are not alternatives given the typical use-case behind teamviewer
[23:20] <svetlana> interesting, new to me
[23:20] <svetlana> i was assuming it's remote desktop access tool
[23:20] <daftykins> remote support mainly :)
[23:21] <daftykins> in which case you don't have access permanently setup for the other ends, necessarily
[23:21] <Bray90820> svetlana: thank you the 32bit worked and I don't have the password error anymore
[23:21] <daftykins> gah, taking the credit for my idea :(
[23:21] <daftykins> ;)
[23:22] <Bray90820> Sorry XD
[23:22] <daftykins> hehe np, glad it worked
[23:29] <yguyut7> what is a ubuntu image viewer that has good slideshow transitions and effects like the ones on Windows and Apple?
[23:37] <jcser001> Ciao a tutti...
[23:39] <azizLIGHT> teamviewer should put a message on their download page for ubuntu people that only 32bit works
[23:39] <daftykins> that's not fact
[23:40] <azizLIGHT> i got that same dependecny error a while back when i upgraded, and when i originally installed teamviewr
[23:41] <NegativeFlare> I prefer VNC over Teamviewer, but it requires Port Forwarding
[23:44] <azizLIGHT> and i hope ssh tunnel
[23:45] <daftykins> NegativeFlare: they're not even vaguely the same product, but ok
[23:45] <daftykins> now lets return to topic
[23:45] <NegativeFlare> daftykins: Excuse me xD
[23:49] <hamedshahien> I need to connect external monitor to my laptop but the resolution is very low .have you any idea ?
[23:49] <daftykins> hamedshahien: did you plug it in after boot, or boot up with it?
[23:50] <Criten> Hey guys, multiple monitor question. Is there a way to have a seperate group of screens per monitor (be able to swap desktops independently per monitor)
[23:51] <hamedshahien> before i open the my laptop
[23:52] <hamedshahien> maximum res 1920*1080 / 60hz but i can't work in this resolution . it's not in the menu
[23:54] <daftykins> hamedshahien: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:56] <hamedshahien> i installed it but it's still 1024 768
[23:57] <daftykins> hamedshahien: there were two commands, the second pastebins a log file
[23:57] <daftykins> i want to read it :)
[23:57] <Qwertie> Does anyone here know how to use xsetwacom?
[23:58] <Qwertie> The line "xsetwacom set $pad Button 9 "key +"" maps the button to = and not +
[23:59] <yguyut7> does anyone here even help?
[23:59] <daftykins> pretty constantly for many years, yes.
[23:59] <daftykins> but shockingly enough - not everyone knows about every single topic
[23:59] <daftykins> yguyut7: take comments like that elsewhere please.
