| logan0405 | Can't get my double tapping to work | 00:13 |
| logan0405 | I'm gonna restart | 00:13 |
| logan0405 | strange... double tapping doesnt work when I press alt to move windows | 00:16 |
| logan0405 | But it works fine when I click mousepad in | 00:16 |
| logan0405 | I have to double tap really hard when holding alt | 00:18 |
| logan0405 | So weird | 00:18 |
| logan0405 | Once I have grabbed the window once, and continue holding alt tapping works normally | 00:18 |

| sameeroak | hello | 03:56 |
| sameeroak | i want to mount /tmp with noexec flag. but my /etc/fstab doesn't have entry for /tmp | 03:56 |
| sameeroak | can someone please tell me how to add an entry of /tmp in /etc/fstab. my /etc/mtab shows and entry for /tmp with tmpfs fs. | 03:57 |
| holstein | !fstab | 04:03 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 04:03 |
| holstein | sameeroak: you can follow any ubuntu guides you find | 04:03 |
| holstein | though, you may be able to outline the larger goal you have, and get a "better" suggestion | 04:03 |
| sameeroak | holstein: thank you very much for your reply. i'm not being able to find an entry in /etc/fstab | 04:04 |
| sameeroak | holstein: i simply want to remount /tmp with noexec flag. | 04:04 |
| holstein | tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 | 04:05 |
| sameeroak | i've this virtual machine, ubuntu 14 | 04:05 |
| holstein | ^ thats my default line from fstab | 04:05 |
| holstein | 14.04* | 04:05 |
| sameeroak | yes. | 04:05 |
| holstein | anyways, you can just use the mount commands, you dont *have* to use fstab.. | 04:05 |
| sameeroak | holstein: so you mean, can i just go ahead and add this line in fstab and reboot the machine, right? | 04:05 |
| holstein | sameeroak: i cant say, since, i dont know anything about your setup | 04:06 |
| sameeroak | holstein: i know, it used the mount command to start with. however, it threw the error: | 04:06 |
| holstein | sameeroak: you say, you dont have the entry, thats the entry i have.. you can add it, and edit the flags, and know how to edit/fix fstab if you break it | 04:06 |
| sameeroak | root@crtqa-virtual-machine:~# mount -o remount,noexec /tmp | 04:06 |
| sameeroak | mount: can't find /tmp in /etc/fstab | 04:06 |
| holstein | or, just mount with the mount command.. | 04:06 |
| ricanlinux | hey does anyone know if the lubuntu project will continue with powerpc development? I know on the site it states you staying with LTS releases. Just curios to see if it just stay with 14.04 | 04:06 |
| holstein | !ppc | 04:07 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture until 6.10. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 04:07 |
| holstein | ricanlinux: its a community project, anyways | 04:07 |
| sameeroak | holstein: it's a virtual machine. | 04:07 |
| sameeroak | holstein: do you want to see the output of df -lPh ? | 04:08 |
| holstein | sameeroak: sure, i get that, friend.. virtual machines have virtual filesystems.. | 04:08 |
| sameeroak | holstein: that's the problem, you've got that correct. so how can i remount /tmp then? | 04:08 |
| ricanlinux | i know it is a community project, so does that mean that questions on Lubuntu PPC are addressed here? | 04:09 |
| ricanlinux | are not i mean | 04:09 |
| holstein | ricanlinux: correct. its not an "official" port, generally.. but, as long as *any* ubuntu is released, for ppc, there should be lxde in the repos, and you can install | 04:10 |
| ricanlinux | ok thanks | 04:11 |
| holstein | sameeroak: do *you* see it listed in fstab? | 04:12 |
| sameeroak | holstein: no. that's the problem. | 04:20 |
| holstein | sameeroak: then, i would simply try adding it, and reboot, or, look into why you dont have it | 04:20 |
| sameeroak | holstein: i tried to find out, but didn't get any specific reason. as you've suggested, i'll try to add the entry as you showed in first couple of messages. | 04:21 |

| hyde | Hi, I need to edit remote files over ssh (with pubkey auth) from Lubuntu desktop. Can I easily get the remote mounted as filesystem, or is there an editor which can do it directly over ssh? | 06:40 |
| hyde | (I mean, I can do this the hard way, I'm looking for an easy way under Lubuntu, and didn't find anything under the desktop menu) | 06:40 |
| ianorlin | hyde: which editor? | 06:41 |
| ianorlin | you can mount in pcmanfm with sftp and then editing it should work I think | 06:42 |
| hyde | ianorlin: ah, looks like it's there. I didn't think to look inside pcmanfm. Thanks! | 06:43 |
| sameeroak | friends, any go start up companies in europe? | 07:15 |
| sameeroak | i'm start ups working in go? | 07:15 |
| ianorlin | sameeroak: this is a support channel for lubuntu I don't know about go companies and don't know of any user facing packages in lubuntu written in go by default | 07:17 |
| sameeroak | ianorlin: extremely sorry, i wanted to post the message to #go-nuts. posted here by mistake. again, extremely sorry. | 07:25 |
| ianorlin | oh that makes more sense | 07:31 |

| Gibarian | Any dropbox user around? | 15:50 |
| holstein | Gibarian: yes | 15:57 |
| Gibarian | Do you know if the white box issue (tray icon in white box) has been solved? | 16:11 |
| Gibarian | In the current Lubuntu release | 16:12 |
| holstein | Gibarian: i would ask the creators, or just try it.. i dont think its anything that lubuntu can solve, specifically, though, with all the GTK changes, i would expect "issues" for a bit | 16:20 |

| jay8347 | what is the command to disable the webcam on a laptop | 17:18 |
| holstein | !blacklist | 17:23 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 17:23 |
| holstein | or, you may find you can disable it in the bios.. | 17:24 |
| holstein | jay8347: whats the goal? you'll likely find that, you dont need to disable components like that, in linux, in regard to system resources | 17:24 |
| jay8347 | i tried to black list uvcvideo and it also disabled my keyboard | 17:25 |
| jay8347 | my goal is i want my webcam to always be turned off | 17:25 |
| holstein | jay8347: sure.. so, can you disable it in the bios? | 17:25 |
| jay8347 | i do not think I have that option | 17:25 |
| jay8347 | i was looking for a way to shut it off in linux ............if possible | 17:26 |
| holstein | jay8347: maybe check and see, since, that will be off.. also, a piece of tape is easy | 17:26 |
| holstein | jay8347: its "off" in linux, if you are not using it | 17:26 |
| jay8347 | well i guess I do not want a hacker to be able to turn it on | 17:26 |
| holstein | jay8347: you guess? why not try and "hack" your machine and turn it on? | 17:27 |
| jay8347 | I cant hack my machine I am not skillful enough | 17:27 |
| holstein | anyways, you can simply blacklist, or disable in the bios.. but, if a "hacker" had access, then could just undo the blacklist, and hide that they did that.. so, *if* you are worried about 'hackers', a software solution is likely not going to address that | 17:28 |
| jay8347 | I was thinking via the internet a hacker could turn my cam on and spy on me or turn the mic on etc... | 17:28 |
| holstein | jay8347: sure, and unblacklist, or, what about injecting something into the uefi bootloader to renable in the bios? | 17:28 |
| jay8347 | Module Size Used by ctr 13049 2 ccm 17731 2 snd_hda_codec_hdmi 47547 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek 77185 1 snd_hda_codec_generic 68914 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek joydev 17344 0 acer_wmi 32522 0 sparse_keymap 13948 1 acer_wmi hid_multitouch 17419 0 rfcomm 69509 8 bnep 19543 2 uv | 17:28 |
| holstein | jay8347: if i have "hacked" your machine, you cant lock me out of the webcam like that | 17:29 |
| jay8347 | i cant locate the module | 17:29 |
| holstein | jay8347: it doesnt matter.. it doesnt address the issue | 17:29 |
| jay8347 | i see | 17:29 |
| jay8347 | so the bios route is the best route | 17:29 |
| holstein | you will want to purchase hardware that doesnt have it, or remove it physically.. or get a small piece of tape | 17:29 |
| holstein | you can damage it, permanently.. you will likely want to "break" or disable/remove the microphone, as well | 17:30 |
| jay8347 | i was just curious about it. i guess I will just see if it can be disabled in the bios, if not then i will just put a piece of tape | 17:31 |
| holstein | also, try and see what legitimately can happen | 17:31 |
| holstein | like, what does it actually take to do that? typically, on a linux machine, running things *not* as root, and having "good" permissions stops all of that | 17:32 |
| jay8347 | why is it when I do modprobe -r uvcvideo my keyboard stops working ? | 17:32 |
| holstein | or, dramatically decreases it | 17:32 |
| holstein | if, say, someone wants to target you, specifically, and has deep enough pockets, there is really nothing you can do | 17:32 |
| jay8347 | well i am not some big corp or a million dollar man............so i assume no one will be targeting me at that level | 17:33 |
| holstein | jay8347: sure, and thats the issue... "assuming" | 17:33 |
| jay8347 | my cousin was surfing a porn site and the porn site popped up an ad that took a pic of him using his cam | 17:33 |
| holstein | its alwasy good to try and get as factual as you can about the actual risks, and what they are | 17:33 |
| holstein | jay8347: sure.. and, how did that happen? running the web browser as administrator? not patching? agreeing to that by clicking a button? etc.. | 17:34 |
| holstein | i mean, bad things happen.. | 17:34 |
| jay8347 | yea for sure | 17:34 |
| holstein | but, try and not live in fear.. look for the facts, and know the risks | 17:35 |
| jay8347 | i mean he has windows 8 | 17:35 |
| holstein | address them.. even if that means *not* going online | 17:35 |
| jay8347 | i went to linux because i didnt want to go to windows 8 | 17:35 |
| holstein | so, running windows 8 as an admin user, that can easily happen | 17:35 |
| holstein | are you running as admin? not on a stock lubuntu install.. | 17:35 |
| holstein | and, im not saying "oh, trust me, you are safe".. im saying, check and see for yourself | 17:36 |
| jay8347 | i do not know the answer to that question. I do know that it if i type in sudo it then asks for my pass | 17:36 |
| jay8347 | if i run as admin does it never prompt me for a pass | 17:36 |
| holstein | jay8347: sure, so, when you dont know, then, ask, and look and see | 17:37 |
| jay8347 | i am new to linux, so far I have limited command abilities, reminds me of the days of DOS terminal | 17:37 |
| holstein | *that* is a simple way for an attacker to gain access to hardware.. the user is running *everything* as admin | 17:37 |
| holstein | !sudo | 17:37 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 17:37 |
| holstein | try and not expect to solve all these issues in such a short time | 17:37 |
| jay8347 | can a person hack linux ? | 17:38 |
| holstein | i mean, if you were running windows, before, as admin, and you move to stock lubuntu, you are already in much better shape | 17:38 |
| holstein | jay8347: of course | 17:38 |
| holstein | but, you dont *have* to "hack" anything.. you just have to gain access | 17:38 |
| jay8347 | would they need to use a brute force password thing to hack linux | 17:38 |
| holstein | that can be done by someone tricking you into running a sudo command | 17:38 |
| jay8347 | wouldnt they need my password | 17:38 |
| holstein | jay8347: i dont need to brute force anything, if i get you to run a "magic" sudo command.. | 17:39 |
| BBA | Salut ! | 17:39 |
| holstein | jay8347: you would be the one inputing the password, and trusting the command, for example | 17:39 |
| jay8347 | what do the hackers use a keylogger ? | 17:39 |
| holstein | or, not understanding what it does.. or, trying to install something | 17:39 |
| holstein | jay8347: to capture keystrokes.. such as sensitive passwords | 17:39 |
| holstein | BBA: o/ | 17:39 |
| jay8347 | oh so the hacker gets the pass when you put it in on a server | 17:39 |
| BBA | How to upgrade Lubuntu 14.04 to Lubuntu 15.04 please ? | 17:40 |
| jay8347 | like if i do sudo apt-get install ? | 17:40 |
| holstein | BBA: you cant, easily.. you can simply reinstall, or upgrade to 14.10, then 15.04. i suggest backing up, regardless, before doing either.. and i suggest waiting til 16.04, which *will* upgrade straight from 14.04 | 17:40 |
| holstein | jay8347: no.. those are typically, "in repo" packages.. "safe and tested".. as much as they can be | 17:41 |
| BBA | Okay, thanks | 17:41 |
| BBA | Do you know when the 16.04 version will be available ? | 17:41 |
| holstein | jay8347: the issue would be, sudo some_secret_script.you.dowload | 17:41 |
| jay8347 | why did microsoft windows get big but linux didnt ? | 17:41 |
| holstein | BBA: the first number, 16, is the year, the second, 04 is the month | 17:41 |
| holstein | jay8347: there is no "linux".. its not a company, selling you a product | 17:42 |
| BBA | holstein: I have to wait for a long time ! | 17:42 |
| holstein | its just the community project, and the kernel that is produced.. android *did* get "big", selling and utlizing the linux kernel | 17:42 |
| holstein | BBA: no, you can do what you like, friend.. install 15.04, if you want.. | 17:42 |
| holstein | !lts | 17:43 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) | 17:43 |
| holstein | 14.04 and 16.04 are long term support releases.. 5 years uptime on the sources | 17:43 |
| BBA | I think I will test it, maybe will my old notebook die but I prefer | 17:43 |
| holstein | if you want the "in between normal release" go for it. you'll upgrade from 14.04, to 14.10, to 15.04 | 17:43 |
| holstein | i would expect about 4 hours per step | 17:43 |
| BBA | And thanks to you I ready for my english exam tomorrow, I'm French uhuh | 17:44 |
| holstein | or, a simple reinstall might take 20 minutes.. | 17:44 |
| BBA | I did "do-release-upgrade" and it's saying "no new version available" | 17:46 |
| holstein | BBA: yup.. there is no "new LTS version" | 17:47 |
| holstein | and thats the way its setup | 17:47 |
| BBA | Okay, thanks for the explainations | 17:47 |
| holstein | i suggest, *if* you want to do the upgrade, have a proper backup, then, go into the menu to the update manager, and tell it you want to look for regular releases, not just LTS's | 17:47 |
| BBA | Okay, I see | 17:48 |
| holstein | then, you can fresh, and see the 14.10, which is EOL soon, that may be broken | 17:48 |
| BBA | Is it normal to have a reduced number of paquets availale in the software center ? | 17:48 |
| holstein | BBA: not sure what you are referring to | 17:49 |
| BBA | I'm using Lubuntu, I speaking about the graphic software where I can find other things to install | 17:49 |
| BBA | In my langage that's the "Logithèque Lubuntu" | 17:50 |
| BBA | That's it: http://www.clapico.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/lubuntu02.png | 17:51 |
| BBA | Can I install he "regular" Ubuntu Software Center on Lubuntu ? | 17:53 |
| holstein | BBA: should be in the repos, and actually, not address that issue | 17:57 |
| holstein | you can use any package manager you choose.. i would try synaptic, for a GUI one | 17:58 |
| BBA | Yes, I'm a beginner and the command line isn't very clear for me | 17:58 |
| BBA | I will test it later, because the "upgrade manager" is running | 17:59 |
| BBA | So thank you for your help, and maybe see you later guys ! | 17:59 |
