[00:03] Is there a hardware expert who can help me fix my usb flash drive if it is possible? I can't format it. http://pastebin.com/ARmr6LyR [00:04] also the stick is not listed with 'fdisk -l' [00:06] someone can advice me a good code editor like notepad++ in ubuntu ? I have 2 conditions, color syntax + ftp system like auto upload when save file like nppftp in notepad [00:07] MAxou: you mean, an editor that can edit ftp server files? [00:08] MAxou gedit, geany or atom.io [00:08] brompt yes [00:08] just connect a folder to ftp, and any editor works [00:08] MAxou: netbeans [00:09] hmm [00:09] I use geany on my ftp php server. but yeah netbeans too...but its an ide, not a text editor [00:09] MAxou: I've used Kate before, but the ftp app provided the session file with autenthication and all, and Kate would edit it, pressking Save or ctrl-s, will send it up the ftp channel [00:11] MAxou, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CurlFtpFS [00:13] MAxou: but I think that's an ftp client app feature you may be seeking, not an editor's per se, that the ftp client opens the file, authenticates the piping channel, and then an editor picks that up and edits it, keeping a communication open with the ftp client [00:13] I want same thing than in my notepad++ :/ [00:14] MAxou follow my guide, use literarly any editor [00:14] is there a way to just have icons on the window buttons on my panel? is Ubuntu-Mate [00:14] MAxou: "same thing" meaning? [00:14] i can see my ftp folder double clik on a file edit it and when i save it it's automatically upload ! [00:14] MAxou: does notepad++ opens the ftp connection to the file? [00:15] open rather [00:15] there is a button to connect [00:15] before I fill the ftp information [00:15] if you mount the ftp folder, you just edit a file, click save and it auto-uploads to the server. You don't even ened to press "upload to ftp", you just follow the guide once. And anything in the folder is auto-uploaded [00:15] ok...then it does.... possibly a plugin [00:15] yeah the plugin is nppftp [00:16] I'm looking for help with WiFi problems (14.04 lts, atheros qca9565) script restult: pastebin.ubuntu.com/13482342/ syslogs: pastebin.ubuntu.com/13483294/ [00:16] ok sam [00:16] sam_vimes: I don't think he/she is hosting the file, just trying to access it for editing as a client [00:16] ? [00:17] brompt yeah I dont hosting the ftp ! [00:17] it's on my webserver [00:17] right [00:17] he has a ftp folder, where he edits files, constant access to it would be easier. :) [00:17] MAxou: as i said.. I"ve done it before, with Kate and an ftp app [00:17] yeah would be nice [00:17] I've set it up for a few guis for my server, so that they don't mess things up. just open the folder I say and work in it [00:17] *guys [00:18] same_vimes your way seems nice [00:20] hell I see your page sam_vimes it's 2 line codes but I can't adapt it to me lol :D [00:20] USE YOU RBAIN MAXOU !

[00:28] monkeywithamohaw: what do you hope to achieve SSHingin as that user? [00:28] sam_vimes : Error connecting to ftp [00:29] I can use winscp to move files into the webapp directory [00:29] without changing file permissions [00:29] monkeywithamohaw: create a group, add your user and tomcat7 to that group, own the path as user:group ; then any files you put in will work fine [00:30] MAxou, you sure you followed the guide correctly? and gave yourself access rights? === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [00:30] your error seems to be with FPT username, link og password. not setup.

[00:32] no [00:32] I cannot, for the life of me, seem to get rid of a certain ppa: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ferramroberto/java/ubuntu/dists/wily/main/binary-i386/Packages [00:32] I have tried ppa-purge and removing it from software & updates gui [00:32] never, ever mount FTP as root MAxou [00:33] I have a user done that but as I am copying files from another server some of the subdirectories gave group only read permission(for security) there are 1000s of file and 100s of subfolders from legacy [00:33] or use FTP in 2015 *cough* [00:33] ok so I do well [00:34] test === user is now known as Guest73298 [00:34] mkdir ~/my-server [00:34] curlftpfs -o ssl,utf8 ftp://login:pass@server.com/ ~/my-server [00:34] I am not sure about why this was done this way by other admin who setup original file structures [00:35] MAxou: Yep .. that is a fact .. that repo for wily does not exist .. see: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ferramroberto/java/ubuntu/dists/ . [00:36] monkeywithamohaw: so scp the files over as another user, move them into place, then chown them - the permissions will be retained, only ownership needs to move [00:36] I would just add write to all subfolders... but then not sure if I'm going to mess something up when I remove the g-w from all subfolders if this would cause an issue [00:36] so why not test... [00:36] everything can be undone [00:37] Bashing-om dont understand sorry [00:38] MAxou: Sorry .. mistab .. should not have highlighted you .. apology in order .

[00:39] Bashing-om, ok, how do I remove the ppa [00:40] np [00:41] maxtimbo: There is no current supported release " 21-May-2011 08:06 " I am hesitant to say a means . [00:41] !ppa-purge [00:41] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [00:41] bazhang, tried that already [00:41] I'm trying to dual boot windows 7 with linux mint 17.2. It looks like windows is using 3 partitions. one for the OS, one for recovery, and a ~40mb one that is flagged as "diag". It looks like linux requires 4 partitions. GParted won't let me create more than 4 primary partitions. Can/should I make 4 logical partitions for linux on an extended partition? [00:42] OsmiumTrees, ask mintsupport then [00:42] will do [00:42] they are on spotchat irc [00:43] OsmiumTrees: on a bios-mbr formatted hdd, 4 primary partitions, is all you get, or you could do 3 primaries and 1 extended with a bunch of logicals, thus, so you could just hose one partition for the other installation [00:44] daftykins:Thank you for your suggestions! is tomcat7 user created this way to meet a bestpractice security guidline? [00:44] sam_vimes ok I find a way more easy ^^ in Nautilus File/connect to a server :D [00:45] MAxou: yet another easier way, driver over to the file server location, and do it right there :D!!! maybe not [00:46] good MAxou , you can certanly use nautiluses. But it won't stay on after reboot and is slightly slower. if you want it to stay there you can map the ftp folder in nautilus and put it in favorites [00:46] I don't use nautilus, mine can't do that ): [00:46] or ..just add it to bookmarks I think works [00:48] maxtimbo: Maybe and only as a maybe ' sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:ferramroberto/java ' or somewhat similar (???) . [00:48] Bashing-om, tried that also [00:49] Hello guys. I'm using Xubuntu and I want to install the gnome interface. Which package should I install ? gnome-desktop ? gnome-shell ? [00:49] gnome-shell for that, unity for the gnome3 unity shell [00:50] I need to add the folder in favorite because when i reboot he will disapear ? [00:50] ubuntu-desktop will bring unity [00:51] maxtimbo: well, just hop over to /etc/apt and check there where it's at, and remove it :), will be either in sources.list.d as a file, or in sources.list file and you can remove its entry from there [00:54] bprompt, thats what i'm doing now. they are staying persistant after sudo rm command [00:55] monkeywithamohaw: you'd have to ask a tomcat channel that one i think :) i've no idea [00:59] bprompt, Bashing-om , bazhang I got the ppas removed by: cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d then sudo rm -i "ppa" [00:59] thanks for the help [01:00] been bugging me for a while now [01:06] Bashing-om: Booted up 15.10; multitouch features worked fine but the mouse cursor was unstable as it was in 3.13, so I'll need to research into seeign weather that is something which can be easily fixed [01:07] the_count: :( [01:09] Bashing-om: So, my best guess is that something in updating the kernel messes things up... Not altogether sure though, hopefully they have this worked out by now [01:11] I can install Ubuntu 15.10 from the live DVD, even use the live dvd ... but after install and reboot I get Ignoring BGRT: invalid status 0 (expected 1) [01:11] and I am unable to get past it.

[01:36] I am following this post, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188. And when i do "dhclient wlan0" it just has a blinking underscore and does nothing. Anyone know whats wrong please? [01:37] Nick714: sounds like it's not even associated with the AP [01:37] maybe give yourself an easy time by using nm-cli [01:39] daftykins: Oh hey :). Okay, I saw that somewhere. I figured I would try it the regular way first (because Im lazy to plug in ethernet hah) so after I stall it do you know the command to join internet or a post exaplning it? [01:39] I still have to sudo install network-manager for it which requires ethernet [01:39] @daftykins did you say I should leave uefi on>>??? [01:41] Nick714: no, i've never been as masochistic as to do CLI wireless [01:41] Ira_: you have to if your Windows installation was done using EFI [01:41] Ok thanks I will try to figure it out using network-manager [01:42] well, nm-cli ;) [01:42] ok thanks [01:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [01:43] and more fun https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConfigurationCommandLine/Automatic#Configure_your_wireless_interface [01:49] hello, struggling to install ubuntu via UEFI on a skylake Z170 motherboard... freezes a bit into the boot of the try ubuntu load [01:50] anyone have advice or know of a trick to get it to load/boot properly? previously using no usbperipherals made it sometimes work.

[01:58] daftykins: yes, the 14 lts version i installed first does, i'd installed several other older systems with it [01:58] trying 15.10 for the first time on the new hardware, but 99% sure the drive and iso load are fine [01:58] i really mean the downloaded 15.10 that's on it, can you boot on another system to be 100%? [01:58] what's the name of that really keen mechanism that ubuntu/xubuntu use to handle the prtscrn button for screenshots? [01:59] the one with the fancy upload options and the screen that pops up in response to the keypress [02:00] alt+1 [02:00] someone mentioned 'greenshot' the other day [02:01] daftykins, that's not it, but that's a pretty cool tool. it lets you grab areas of your workspace easy it looks like.

I am getting no sound from anything on the computer. However, when I do the sound test for my headphones I get sound back. But when I unplug it and do a sound test, nothing. Also, even with the headphones on I get no sound from youtube or anything. I have no idea waht I did, sound was working fine for the most part of today.

[02:57] you're going to need a lot more specific info than that though [02:58] bear in mind 14.04 is still good 'til 2019, so unless you're a dev chasing software versions - bigger numbers don't always mean better [02:58] 2019 uh... [02:58] well, I guess that's one thing solved lol [02:59] Sounds like some driver for your raid card may not be loaded in the initrd of 15.10 [02:59] genii, actually I think the issue is when they load [02:59] cause its clearly 'megasas' causing the kernel panic [02:59] well. as far as i can tell [03:00] hello [03:01] genii, not having the module loaded would just not make it work, correct? or can it cause IRC issues? [03:01] .... [03:01] IRQ issues for the computer [03:01] im the one with irc issues [03:01] hi [03:01] Hi [03:01] whats up [03:02] your not a bot right [03:02] Well, I don't think so [03:02] just checking [03:02] doesnt help does it :P [03:02] lol [03:02] Hatsune_Miku: do you have an Ubuntu suppoer question?

[03:06] deskwizard: well you'd need more info, but likely you'll want to file against linux-generic - i don't really know [03:06] whats the question i zoned out [03:07] daftykins, alright, I was wondering if the drivers had like a kernel-drivers package or something [03:07] how can i get WoW to work better on ubuntu [03:07] thanks for your help [03:07] hmm [03:07] did you try to add more ram? [03:07] XD [03:07] no...

[03:08] i have 4 but my ubuntu only reckos 3 [03:08] sounds like you installed 32-bit on a 64-bit PC [03:08] thats weird, are you running a 32 bit version of unix [03:09] this is not unix. [03:09] sorry wrong name [03:09] thats what we call it at my house [03:09] i know its wrong [03:09] I've personaly installed 32 and 64 versions of evry MS OS, and the same with linux [03:09] no it came with 32 bit windows i loaded 64 bit [03:09] Ubuntu [03:09] ok [03:10] but still does not reco the 4 gigs [03:10] i wonder why it only sees 3 gigs in the computer [03:10] what chips do you have it is 2gigX2? [03:10] sounds like onboard graphics taking some, or a misunderstanding. [03:10] i am on a gateway p-6831fx [03:10] ok [03:10] 32 Bit Ubuntu cant read past 8 gigs [03:10] the minimum is 512mb [03:10] !pae [03:10] Hatsune_Miku: please don't try to help when you don't understand. [03:10] Ubuntu uses activated PAE Kernels on all installs now. Some older Hardware can have issues with that.

[03:12] why would it come with 32 bit windows why would it have a X64 based processor [03:13] dang this keyboard sucks [03:13] exactly and why would you try to put AMD64 ubuntu on a that [03:13] not sure if it has a 64 bit processor [03:13] AMD64 Ubuntu means Inetle 65 to [03:13] case in point if it is a 32 bit processor dont load X64 bit [03:13] 64 rather [03:14] Hatsune_Miku: cat /proc/cpuinfo and check [03:14] If your PC came with a 32 Bit Windows Operating System [03:14] how can i tell if the processor is 32/64 bit? [03:14] ya check tht out [03:14] MrCeeIII: 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' in a terminal [03:15] it does not make sense for them to load 32 bit windows and put a 64 bit processor, it is most likely 32 bit [03:15] Hatsune_Miku: it does not make sense to debate it when it can easily be checked [03:16] what did it report 64 or 32 bit?

[05:27] vetch check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence [05:28] vetch this too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:28] I have a set up of it going now (i'm on it right now) but it keeps prompting me to install it is there an advantage to this? [05:29] i've not done this personally but I think you'll need two drives [05:29] one live and one portable to install onto [05:29] http://askubuntu.com/questions/397481/how-to-make-a-persistent-live-ubuntu-usb-with-more-than-4gb [05:29] i may be wrong [05:30] right now I have it going on a 16gb usb2 I'm planning on going with a much larger drive and usb 3 right now I'm kinda in alpha test. I'm also brand new to unix [05:31] alternatively you could dual boot, if you aren't ready to overwrite your current OS [05:31] so when you power on your computer it'll ask you which operating system you would like to boot into each time [05:31] what I have is a work computer that is heavily locked down with "big brother" software. I'm looking for a way around that [05:32] I travel for work and can't even get on facebook with the current set up and can't do a dual boot and don't want two computers [05:32] yeah you could theoretically boot from a USB each time, into a 'personal' area [05:32] depending on how the hardware is configured [05:32] you could use a raspberry pi [05:33] Id have a raspberry pi at home and ssh to it and vnc tunnel it back [05:33] so then boot off a usb key [05:34] vetch check out this tutorial: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [05:34] "f you use utilities like Unetbootin to create your Ubuntu installation media, you can also set a certain amount of “persistent” storage space. This will allow you to install extra applications and save some files that will remain whenever you reboot the system or use a different computer." [05:34] "Another option is to make your installation media on a different drive, and then install Ubuntu normally as you would on one of your computer’s hard drives. However, instead of choosing one of those hard drives, you choose your USB flash drive instead as the installation destination." [05:35] yeah that sounds logical and then I can move up in size and go to usb3 [05:36] vetch: there are 2 methods: 1) install to the USB device just like to any fixed disk, or 2) create a 'split' install which partitions the device, puts the Live ISO image in 1 partition and has a persistent copy-on-write partition too, so any changes made are kept. I'd recommend (1) rather than (2) *unless* you also want to be able to install Ubuntu to other computers as well as having the persistent element [05:37] vetch: With (2) also remember it is the 'Live ISO' environment, so the running root file-system is completely contained in RAM, so for PCs with limited RAM it can be restrictive. [05:38] thanks TJ 1 sounds like the way I want to go. I already have a set up like 2 on the 16gb with 4 gigs dedicated to the persistent element. What I'm looking for is a totaly "normal" os just run off a thumbdrive and portable [05:38] I've noticed some slow speed loads with libre office applications [05:39] vetch: yeah, I prefer (1) and if you do want to have it possible to boot that with a Live ISO installer image you can simply install and use the package grub-imageboot [05:39] !info grub-imageboot | vetch [05:39] vetch: grub-imageboot (source: grub-imageboot): boot iso, harddisk and floppy images with grub2 and syslinux memdisk. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.6 (wily), package size 4 kB, installed size 42 kB [05:40] vetch: USB2 is definitely going to feel slow, relative to {SS,HD}D devices [05:41] yeah but so far I'm really happy with it. I've been meaning to mess around with unix for years and I'm amazed at how fast it installed and even on usb2 how fast it boots [05:41] an entire os with an office package is less then 6 gigs [05:41] yep [05:42] put it on a raspberry pi, then all you need is a tv [05:42] vetch and remember there are a billion different distributions for you to try. some will be faster or lighter than others. [05:44] well I picked ubuntu basicly at random but I'm happy with it so far [05:45] A RasPi with a 105mm LCD touch panel and the entire thing is self-contained [05:57] Hey!\ [05:57] I've tried running Android's avd emulator and then I tried running Genymotion.

[06:26] maxtimbo: if the issue is in printing itself, use the CUPS logs to diagnose it in /var/log/cups/ [06:26] that isn't the problem [06:27] it's the 32bit dependencies that aren't compiled correctly with the 64bit .deb file.

I'm looking at each exetuable and running it through 'file' and 'ldd' to find the dynamically linked libraries they expect, and where they are/should be [06:42] maxtimbo: extracted as in "dpkg-dev -R .deb -dir/ " [06:42] s/dev/deb/ !

[06:51] maxtimbo: I've disassembled the library [06:51] you're a wizard [06:54] oh my god I did it, TJ- [06:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2259195 [06:54] Needed these dependencies [06:55] maxtimbo: that's interesting; do the packages declare dependencies only on the 64 bit versions? [06:56] these are 32bit libs that aren't included? I suppose... [06:56] That is so irratating [06:57] maxtimbo: That's Canon for you, those packages are terrible. They totally miss any 'Depends:' for libjpeg, and the others they do declare will be on the 64-bit libraries [06:58] Here I was thinking canon would be better than Brother printers.... Wrong [06:58] maxtimbo: that's what happens when the packages are not built and tested on vanilla build systems - they test them on developer PCs which already have those packages installed, and therefore they do not hit that issue. [06:59] maxtimbo: you should report it to Canon and tell them to get some professional developers! [06:59] maxtimbo: or offer them your consultancy at $5000/hour [07:00] hahahaha! [07:00] i'll take my time -_- [07:00] I hear Dell is sneaking their certs into Ubuntu. [07:01] What's the best way to remove these? I don't want to be superfished. [07:02] Iota: you've heard wrong. They're on Windows installs. See here http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/11/23/dell_security_nightmare_gets_worse/ [07:02] lota read that message carefully: certificates on windows [07:04] posted: http://askubuntu.com/questions/628145/install-canon-printer-lbp6030w/701828#701828 === user is now known as Guest12054 [07:05] maxtimbo: "cndrvcups-ufr2lt/usr/lib/libuictlncap.so.1.0.0" has dependencies for those 'missing' libaries, but the system thinks it can satisfy them with the 64-bit versions, until run-time, due to the bad way Canon have built those Debian packages [07:05] Thanks, somsip. I heard some bad info and thought I'd just jump in the channel and ask before checking. :D [07:05] Iota: if you don't even read before checking, 'superfish' is the least of your worries :D [07:06] so that's why the error message comes up as a non-error [07:06] maxtimbo: it seems so, yes. [07:06] TJ-, I certainly read the article. But if you check yourself, you'll see they don't mention the status of the Ubuntu OS they also offer. [07:07] It was another source I got the information from. [07:07] Iota: and it's now off topic so lets leave it as that [07:07] Lol [07:07] Iota: interesting question you raise actually; if they offer a custom Ubuntu installation I wonder if they put that rogue cert and key in the ca-certs bundle? [07:08] thanks for the help. I'm calling it for tonight [07:08] Even if the public cert were shipped in pre-installed Linux installs, that would make it vulnerable, since the private key has been distributed [07:08] maxtimbo: glad you solved it :) [07:09] hello [07:12] Is the Aquaris E5 compatible for AT&T?

Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [07:14] hi [07:15] I'm having issues installing the drivers for a new graphics card. Had an old geforce 8400 gs, with the drivers from nvidia's site working fine (v340 i think). I had just bought a new geforce gtx 680 and trying to install the driver results in some "failed to load kernel module nvidia.ko" saying it couldnt find some files. [07:15] mijowh: where did you get the driver from [07:15] the info log is too long to put on pastebin [07:15] nvidia's website [07:16] how do i boot Live Ubuntu from an NTFS local partition from a syslinux menu on a usb stick? [07:16] mijowh: better to install ubuntu drivers from additional drivers section [07:17] its a Casper squashfs image [07:17] bhioaq: start from the beginning mate, whats your end goal? [07:18] how do i write the correct sysl entry? i want to boot the live ubuntu system from the HD, its much faster than from a usb stick [07:19] lotus: do u know the corret sysl entry to boot squashfs from a ntfs disk? [07:19] bhioaq: what dont you just install ubuntu? [07:20] dont want to GRUB or the hole system, because i have win installed [07:21] so how do i Boot/start live ubuntu from a HD with a syslinux entry? [07:21] bhioaq: how about you install ubuntu in a virtual machine on your windows? [07:22] as i said i dont want to INSTALL it but RUN it as an overlayfs [07:23] or boot the ubuntu.iso from a NTFS partition [07:23] so my Q is: whats the correct syslinux menu entry? [07:24] burn it to a disc, or dual boot with grub. Maybe I dont understand your question, bu your not going to have windows and linux both running from the same partition [07:24] or do a virtual machine in windows [07:25] but ill brb gotta reboot see if the driver took well [07:25] offc, i could install GRUB on a USB stick, and then boot the hole iso from a ntfs local part [07:26] how do i do that then? [07:26] julijulityes [07:26] bhioaq: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [07:26] theboss: can we help you? [07:27] lotuspsychje, oops, sorry... got two keyboards in front of me... was on the wrong one [07:27] alright that didnt work at all [07:28] i installed the nvidia-352 from software center [07:28] and now glxinfo throws errors about glx extension missing [07:28] mijowh: your card is optimus? [07:28] and im stuck at a really low res [07:29] mijowh: and wich ubuntu version? [07:29] optimus? no, gtx 680. I installed the 352 because that the version that waslisted in nvidias site [07:29] and lubuntu 15.10 x64 === newbie is now known as Exchizz [07:29] mijowh: try lubuntu LTS on that card? [07:30] mijowh: or another driver from 15.10 [07:30] so: reformat? [07:30] mijowh: depends what you want, stable long time support or non-lts? [07:30] I want an opengl 4.0+ context so i can play with compute shaders lol [07:31] ill just reinstall fresh tomorrow i guess [07:31] seems linux doesnt like hardware changes [07:31] mijowh: try drivers switch first [07:31] only been running ubuntu for a few months [07:31] which driver should i try? [07:32] mijowh: tell me wich drivers show up your list? [07:32] mijowh: 340 or 346 if that shows? [07:32] Morningen guys(if it's morning for you :b ). I'm having some troubles understanding UEFI vs. BIOS. My system is currently using UEFI. When I see 'Press Fx to change boot order' - is that BIOS or UEFI ? Altså when I enter (what's normally called BIOS), is that BIOS or UEFI ? Thanks :> [07:32] !uefi | Exchizz [07:32] Exchizz: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [07:32] Exchizz: can you tell us what you wanna do exactly? [07:33] i was running 340 earlier with the old card from nvidias site, but when i installed the new card glxinfo still showed a 3.3 context [07:33] I have read that, but I don't think it answers my question :> Is BIOS startup first then UEFI ? [07:33] and i believe the new one is 4.2 [07:34] mijowh: ok then file a bug in 15.10 [07:34] alrighty [07:34] ill install lts tomorrow after work [07:34] Exchizz: from bios you can choose uefi or legacy..is that what you want? [07:34] thanks for the help regardless [07:34] mijowh: ok mate [07:34] good choice [07:35] this was the first issue i had with 15.10 really and ive been running for maybe 3 months now (came from windows previosly) [07:35] mijowh: smart choice :p [07:36] lotuspsychje: soo I run both BIOS og EUFI ? I'm not really trying to do enything, I just want to understand what it is :b Yesterday I accidently deleted a entry using efibootmgr, then I started to read and think about it. [07:36] UEFI * [07:36] Exchizz: try ##hardware if its not ubuntu related mate [07:36] Exchizz, maybe $$hardware can help [07:36] ## [07:36] Ah I didn't of that, thanks :> [07:38] time to do some backups lol. I'm just hoping this card was worth it in the end. I had this all customized and nice just how i like it [07:38] bleh [07:38] mijowh: dont blame the card mate, should be working nice on lts [07:38] i still need to try out wine. Gonna try to get bf4 running. on the old card id average about 5-6 fps on windows. totally unplayable [07:39] mijowh: bf4 on linux hmmm [07:39] and a 4.2 context will be nice. I havent been able to play around with tessellation or compute shaders yet. been learning opengl [07:39] mijowh: could try the playonlinux database or winehq [07:40] i was reading on winehq that bf4 worked pretty well considering [07:40] that its playable and such [07:40] mijowh: didnt test myself [07:41] ive been forced to run bf1942 because its all the old card could handle [07:41] games from 2001, yay [07:41] (surprisingly, theres still alot of peple online on it too) [07:43] !ppa | mijowh there is also this PPA for up-to-date nvidia drivers https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [07:43] !ppa [07:43] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[08:04] what does the servers log show about the connection [08:07] karstenk: did you set the password after giving them a login shell?

[08:11] I'm not asking you to grant odoo sudo permission [08:11] I'm telling you to set the users password [08:11] karstenk: use the same user that you used when you added odoo [08:11] with the command "sudo passwd odoo" [08:11] k [08:11] worked [08:11] thanks a lo [08:12] t [08:12] karstenk: and ssh login? [08:12] works [08:12] i missed to setup as root the passwd for that user [08:13] so now I need to restrict, that this user can only connect fro a configured ip [08:13] per ssh [08:14] you can use tcp wrappers, ufw, or the inbuild ssh restrictions [08:14] !ufw | karstenk [08:14] karstenk: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [08:14] but when I last added AllowUsers odoo@my-ip the root user could not connect anymore [08:14] the root user cannot connect over ssh anyway [08:14] it is disabled [08:14] you can't even login as root [08:15] no I activated for developing processes [08:15] karstenk: if you have enabled root login (shudder) you need to list all users in AllowUsers (see http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/learning/how-do-i-permit-specific-users-ssh-access) [08:15] a.) the root user has no password - so you can't login b.) the root user is disabled in ssh - so yo can't login ANYWAY [08:17] AllowUsers root odoo@my-ip ?? [08:17] no [08:17] root is disabled [08:17] and should stay disabled [08:18] ok, that was the trick, it works like aspected [08:18] thanls [08:18] thanks [08:19] yes i will disable, when iam finished configuration ikonia [08:20] it should not be enabled [08:20] and it should be disabled now [08:20] why? [08:20] you do not need root ssh to configure anything [08:20] and you do not need the root account enabled at a shell level [08:20] ? [08:20] what is not clear about what I've just said ? [08:21] you say you dont need, i asked why? [08:21] why do you need it ? [08:21] ive not user user to configure my productions server, the services user are completly restricted to there services [08:21] why i need not the root user to configure? [08:21] karstenk: so you should use a nonprivileged user, with sudo [08:22] the whole ubuntu security model is based on the root account being disabled and locked, you're breaking that [08:22] why? [08:22] the ssh security model is based on the root account not having interactive login privileges, you're breaking that [08:22] what should be the different to first configure all with root and than deactivate ssh? [08:22] so you're breaking 2 of the core security setups, because you appear to not know how to use sudo === lonix is now known as lsiobot [08:23] Good morning. I am trying to rsync a remote server (ubuntu) to a local server (also ubuntu) [both 14.04.3] for backup purposes. If I run rsync directly on the terminal the rsync works fine, however, if I run it from inside a .sh (bash) file then the rsync cannot resolve the hostname. Does anyone have a pointer on how to get around this? . Google has not been much help thus far!! [08:23] hey [08:23] UbuntuUser: pastebin your shell script [08:24] no i only wanted to setup fast my server without entering sudo. security is what i set up last [08:24] I tried unmounting sshfs filesystem with random commands found on the internet, most of them wouldn't work. Now I'm stuck with 'Transport endpoint is not connected' [08:24] karstenk: that is nonsense, [08:24] karstenk: it is quicker to type "sudo -i" that to go in, setup a root login, go in, allow root in ssh, restart ssh === lsiobot is now known as lonix [08:24] basically, you don't know how to use sudo, so you've put your production servers at risk [08:24] one of the random commands was 'mount -t sshfs -o remount,allow_other' which remounted it somehow, and now it's not in mtab, so I can't remount [08:24] karstenk: you generally tried to ignore the advice you were being given from the start. We are trying to help. You should try to listen. EOT for me [08:24] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/UbdG9WtB [08:25] or if I try to remount with sshfs endpoint is not connected :/ [08:25] UbuntuUser: there are lots of white spaces [08:25] UbuntuUser: that will make the hostname invalid [08:25] can't just remove the directory either, since 'it's a folder' when I rm -rf [08:25] barnex: is the hostname 128SSSD? [08:25] nonsense is in my eyesnot to use the root user for a developing moment, there is nothing, what cant undo [08:25] oops [08:25] UbuntuUser: is the hostname 128SSD [08:26] iam aware of the risks [08:26] karstenk: how are you goint to lock the root user account when you are done ? [08:26] karstenk: clearly you're not [08:27] ikonia: yes [08:27] and also, I just rewrote it directly inside nano without pasting... same error [08:27] ok, never mind, some more random commands fixed it :-) (sudo umount -l) [08:27] UbuntuUser: remove the white spaces, also you may want to put a username in, IF the script is being run as a different user [08:27] I change back the line PermitRootLogin yes to no [08:27] karstenk: that doesn't lock the root user [08:27] Hi [08:27] karstenk: the root user is still unlocked [08:27] karstenk: how are you going to lock the root user ? [08:28] thats all what ive changed to a standard installation [08:28] ikonia: 128SSD is inside ~/.ssg/config [08:28] ssh* [08:28] karstenk: no it's not [08:28] karstenk: the root user has no password by default, so you wouldn't be able to login if you hadn't set a root password [08:28] sudo passwd root?

Nothing happened [11:29] sorry I meant @mcphail.

TJ- is usually the master of debugging those [11:45] stangeland, lots of things could break. no reason to assume it's a HDD issue [11:45] cfhowlett, hmm i see...is there any way i can figure out what the problem could be? [11:45] mcphail: join #ubuntu-discuss always handy to have acpi experts [11:45] rootNinja: "grep kernel\.sysrq /etc/sysctl.d/10-magic-sysrq.conf" should show what Magic SysRq functions are enabled [11:46] stangeland, first check your boot media: md5sum the .iso then the USB you made with it. [11:46] !md5sum | stangeland [11:46] stangeland: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [11:46] cfhowlett, no this ubuntu has been installed already long time ago on the harddisk and has been working great for months [11:47] stangeland, ah! good to know. smartmonctl tools will tell you about the HDD [11:47] stangeland: do you have a "rescue>" or "grub>" prompt?? [11:47] cfhowlett, i see, Is that something i need to download and put on a usb drive? [11:47] stangeland, boot a live USB and run it from there [11:47] TJ-, yeah...i have a grub> prompt [11:47] @TJ - this is the output : # debugging dumps of processes: kernel.sysrq = 10 kernel.sysrq = 176 [11:48] stangeland: that's a good sign, means the GRUB root file-system was readable. [11:48] @mcphail - by ACPI you mean some power issue, even I think this is the case.. [11:48] stangeland: are you at the "grub>" prompt now? [11:48] TJ-, aha good to know....yes i am in the grub> now...can i run any diagnostics from there? [11:48] rootNinja: OK, 176 should enable Alt+SysRq+O [11:48] rootNinja: basically, can the OS communicate with the hardware to get it to shut down properly [11:49] stangeland: "set" and tell us what root= prefix= show [11:49] rootNinja: does Alt+SysRq+B reboot it? [11:50] TJ-, hmm set shows a lot of things [11:50] @TJ - lemme try Alt+SysRq+B. [11:50] stangeland: right, just tell us the values for root and prefix though [11:50] TJ-, ahh sry...i will summarize [11:50] @mcphail - how can I find out this ? [11:51] TJ-, prefix=(hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub and root=hd0,gpt2 [11:51] rootNinja: what about the logs to see what is actually causing this issue? [11:51] TJ-, btw. its 4 1TB SSD drives running in a RAID0 configuration [11:52] stangeland: ok, now do "ls $prefix/" and tell me if you see a grub.cfg file listed? [11:53] TJ-, yes it is [11:54] stangeland: OK, that's a good sign too. [11:54] TJ-, i see gfxblacklist.txt i386-pc/ locale/ fonts/ grubenv grub.cfg [11:54] stangeland: "insmod normal" then "normal" [11:55] TJ-, insmod normal did not show anything [11:55] stangeland: good :) [11:55] TJ-, neither did normal [11:55] stangeland: not so good! [11:56] TJ-, :/ what does that mean? [11:56] stangeland: the 'normal' module when executed looks for and loads the grub.cfg. Maybe there's nothing in it? "cat $prefix/grub.cfg" - does lots of text go by and do you see things like memtest listed in the last page that remains on-screen? [11:57] TJ-, uhhh ok this does not look good. When i do that cat command i get: "error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0' [11:59] stangeland: has the system recently done a firmware (UEFI or BIOS) reset, or have you altered the boot device order? [11:59] stangeland: because if you've a RAID-0 stripe, the order of the disks as presented to GRUB by the firwamre is critical. [11:59] TJ-, not delibeately...but ubuntu updates were installed....i dont know if they did anything [12:00] stangeland: no, the issue I'm thinking of is purely a firmware boot-device ordering issue [12:00] stangeland: is the system UEFI or BIOS ? [12:00] TJ-, no...i have not done any firmware upgrades nor changed anything in BIOS [12:00] TJ-, i dont know if it is UEFI or BIOS. How can i see that? [12:01] stangeland: the presence of "i386-pc/" tells us it is booting in legacy/BIOS mode at least [12:01] TJ-, ah ok i see [12:01] TJ-, should I change anything in BIOS? [12:01] stangeland: it probably doesn't matter at this point, but I'm trying to build a picture of the permutations in my head :) [12:02] stangeland: let's consider the 'read outside disk' issue. [12:02] TJ-, ok i understand. Let me know anything i can type to help you form the picture :D [12:02] stangeland: This RAID-0 of 4 drives, did you create than in some BIOS Setup screens, or from within the Ubuntu OS? [12:02] TJ-, i believe i did that in BIOS [12:03] and I believe i can fly :D [12:03] sorry lol [12:03] TJ-, i am not entirely sure though...this was some months ago in a stressfull period, but IIRC it was a BIOS setup [12:04] TJ-, yes getting more sure when i think about it...it was some bios setup screens [12:06] stangeland: OK, that's what I would expect, so in *theory* the BIOS code should present those 4 devices as 1 logical device to GRUB... what has happpened - for whatever reason - is the boot device isn't the logical RAID device, but the 1st raw underyling device... so when GRUB tries to read any sectors that are further into the device than the end of that 1st disk, it errors [12:06] @TJ - alt+sysrq+b is rebooting it. But shutdown is still not working. [12:06] stangeland: So, I'd suggest rebooting and entering the BIOS Setup screens. Find where it sets the boot device ordering and ensure, if the option exists, that the 'RAID' device is first [12:06] Hello, Question: When running a program like Firefox or Thunderbird from the prompt in Linux Mint, it opens correctly, but doesn't show the prompt anymore, any help? [12:07] TJ-, ok moment...i will go to BIOS [12:07] rootNinja: by 'shutdown' do you mean Alt+SysRq+O, or literally "shutdown -hP now" ? [12:07] numnum: append a & at the end of the command to "free up" the terminal. such as "firefox &" [12:08] let me try [12:08] Im looking for someone to give me sys admin services with a reasonable price. if someone is a freelancer and want please pm me [12:08] @TJ- I tried alt+sysrq +o didn't work. [12:08] TJ-, ok...i have entered a webbios [12:09] nope, still not the correct return to the prompt... [12:09] rogger_h: this isn't the place for that type of discussion [12:10] rootNinja: Don't worry about +O not working, that sometimes isn't configured.

It is not shutting down anyway, I have to manually pull the plug. [12:12] Hateball; ty i will look into this, but something makes me understand this may be an add on problem [12:12] hi all. can anyone help me with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13480438/ it's about the graphics driver ati from their website (manual install) [12:12] rootNinja: as someone earlier said, that sounds like the ACPI functionality has a problem. Can you "dmesg | pastebinit" [12:13] rootNinja: type in terminal: shutdown -h now or if u wanna restart: shutdown -r now [12:14] rootNinja: oh ok then do what TJ- says [12:14] I am using an nvidia driver (its a must for me) and i get Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". on running glxgears, any idea ?

[12:24] cfhowlett thanks! didn't know the subchannel existed [12:24] happy2help! SyncopatedFool [12:25] lotuspsychje: everything was fine untill i had to install cuda toolkit , then it messed up my driver abit, that i had to remove all then re install nvidia driver again [12:25] lotuspsychje: i also had to remove a mesa link from alternatives as the nvidia driver would never get activated by prime , and it used to select the mesa one by default [12:26] nullkuhl: not sure the behaviour of cuda+optimus togheter sorry [12:26] nullkuhl: your card shows cuda on the website right? [12:26] lotuspsychje: am not interested in optimus [12:26] lotuspsychje: yes, i only need to develop on cuda so i dont care about switching/optimus much [12:26] nullkuhl: , yes but the card needs nvidia-prime if you wanna get it to work [12:26] lotuspsychje: exactly [12:26] TJ-, ok there was a boot menu...not in that web setup interface, but after....here i can select boot device: IBA XE Slot 0400 v2205 or UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell or (Bus 81 Dev 00) PCI RAID Adapter. Would i then choose that Raid Adapter? [12:27] and i also used to have an ubuntu 15 installation working with both optimus and cuda fine [12:27] nullkuhl: dig out your syslog and dmesg for whats happening [12:28] ill try purge nvidia* and see how it goes then install it again [12:28] lotuspsychje: may be that cleans something out [12:28] nullkuhl: ive seen manu users working optimus cards on more early drivers 340 and 346 [12:28] many [12:29] nullkuhl: lts + nvidia-prime + performance + 340/346 [12:29] lotuspsychje: ok ill try that 340 now [12:34] stangeland: OK, yes, the RAID device. That also tells us the system has UEFI firmware [12:35] TJ-, hmmm when i choose that i am just being thrown back into that grub> prompt [12:36] stangeland: right, so we're back to the original problem. [12:37] TJ-, yes i think so.... so its a different problem? [12:38] stangeland: the issue is, GRUB is unable to read the 'RAID' device since there is no such thing in reality [12:38] stangeland: I'm not sure how/why it was originally reading it. Have you recently changed the partition layout or switched to a separate /boot/ partition+file-system ? [12:38] TJ-, i see ok... so somehow the RAID configuration has been destroyed? [12:39] stangeland: No... this is a common problem with *FAKE*RAID like this [12:39] TJ-, no... it might be i have not set it up properly in the first place many mponths ago....but it has been running ok until now...strange that problems would suddently appear now [12:40] stangeland: the problem is that there is no hardware RAID going on, all the BIOS RAID configuration does is write some 'metadata' to each device describing the layout of the 'array', but the raw devices are still visible to the boot-loader and OS. The OS is expected to contain drivers that understand that fake-RAID metadata and assemble the raw disks into the logical RAID device. [12:41] stangeland: The GRUB boot-loader is much more limited since it relies on the BIOS to provide services for reading the disks. something seems to have changed in the GRUB configuration that has changed it so it can no longer get to the RAID device [12:41] TJ-, hmmm i see. interesting. so could those drivers have somehow been deleted? [12:42] stangeland: do you have the "grub>" prompt right now? [12:42] TJ-, yeah i have the grub> now [12:42] stangeland: type "ls" and tell me all the (devices,partitions) it reports please [12:43] TJ-, ok here it is: (hd0) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) [12:43] my usb stick just doesn't work at all [12:43] everytime I plug it in I have to format it as it says unknown file system [12:43] what to do [12:44] pikapi, how exactly did you create this USB? [12:44] heh which email provider is best for sending monitor messages to ? [12:44] wrote new mbr in gparted [12:45] then made two partitions. [12:45] pikapi, usb sticks DO NOT have an mbr. what are you doing? [12:45] it doesn't? [12:45] pikapi, course not. [12:46] well it said the device has no mbr . first make mbr then can create partition on it [12:46] use the ubuntu startup disk creator [12:46] I did [12:46] but the usb won't become bootable [12:46] stangeland: OK, so that 'hd0' is presented by BIOS to GRUB, and *should* be the logical RAID device [12:46] pikapi, wait and this is an ubuntu BOOT disk, right? you did NOT install to ubuntu? [12:46] install to USB? [12:46] the only thing that worked was unetbootin [12:46] TJ-, right...and for some reason it is not? [12:47] stangeland: but, as you saw with the 'read beyond end of disk' error, hd0 in fact appears to be the first underlying raw disk [12:47] yeah. usb in Ubuntu [12:47] TJ-, so weird [12:47] I wanted to make usb live session on it [12:47] stangeland: I was hoping you'd have seen some other 'hdX' values, hd0, hd1, hd2, hd3, representing the underlying raw disks [12:47] TJ-, so you think this is just a setup issue? Or could it still be broken hardware? [12:47] pikapi, delete all partitions, format at the ext4 in gparted. [12:48] but then it won't work in windows [12:48] pikapi: it won't anyway when you want to make it a live usb [12:48] stangeland: Well, I work on the GRUB source-code, and I've just double-checked and there is no specific support for LSI MegaRAID fake-RAID, only Nvidia RAID [12:48] technically I've also made a two-partition USB with the first partition being NTFS for mass-storage and the second being archlinux [12:48] pikapi, wait, what? [12:49] previously I used universal usb installer. that had ntfs file system on partition 1 and partition 2 was ext4 [12:49] and it worked exactly as one would make a regular usb stick, only the install location is now /dev/sdc2 [12:49] TJ-, i see.....but what could be a logical reason for it to have worked earlier then...it has been running on the grub loader for a while [12:49] I could use it on windows too [12:49] sorry, format as ntfs for a boot, pikapi but still, NO MBR needed [12:49] cfhowlett: live usbs have fat FS iirc. [12:49] pikapi: just "dd" the ubuntu iso onto the usb. [12:49] k1l, correct, I'm about to get off of IRC. been here too long already. [12:50] I did dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sda1 [12:50] Boot Repair Report Difficulties http://paste.ubuntu.com/13488855/ [12:50] pikapi: doesn't that mess some stuff up [12:50] but usb was not bootable. [12:50] stangeland: the only thing I can imagine is this. The file-system containing the /boot/grub/ directory starts on the 1st disk but spans into the 2nd disk. Originally, on first installation, that directory and its files were all on the 1st disk and therefore readable. Later, as the file-system filled up, and updates to GRUB were installed, the dirs/files ended up on another underlying disk, so now they're [12:50] unreachable [12:50] all files got copied. and fs became iso [12:51] is there any way to make the usb bootable from Ubuntu? or I go back to windows to make it? [12:51] Dual Boot Problems with windows 10 and ubuntu 15.10 boot-repair didn't fix Boot Repair Report Difficulties http://paste.ubuntu.com/13488855/ [12:52] TJ-, i see. Thats an interesting theory. So what you are saying is that the system was always setup wrong, but by luck (because of the ~large disk size) i only first find out now [12:52] stangeland: yes, I think that sums it up. [12:52] pikapi, the usb must have the /boot and /lba flags set. [12:52] stangeland: I'm trying to think of a way out of it :) [12:52] pikapi: shooting from the hip here, but the iso might have some header/trailer parts with the partition table already, so dd-ing it into a partition won't work while dd-ing it into the entire device would [12:53] so I do dd if=iso of=/dev/sdb [12:53] instead of sdb1 ? [12:53] boxmein: that's it with Ubuntu ISO images, 100%. They're hybrid bootable, so if they're installed in a partition some boot-loader that is able to load/boot ISOs must be installed on that device, too [12:54] TJ-, i can wipe the machine....it does not contain anything important right now...all code on it is in a repository on a different machine already [12:54] pikapi: Yes, NEVER write an ISO you want to be bootable, to a partition, it needs to start at sector 0 of the raw (whole) physical device [12:54] TJ-, I have to run for 30 minutes. Are you here for a while still? [12:54] ok. I will try that . gimme 5minutes [12:54] stangeland: possibly :) [12:55] Ira_L: make your life easy and install ubuntu single [12:55] TJ-, ok...crossing my fingers hehe. be back soon. Thanks for your help so far [12:55] but how come it worked with unetbootin from partition [12:56] pikapi: because unetbootin installs a boot-loader that knows how to chainload ISO images [12:56] ah [12:57] What is the command to associate .torrent with transmission (cli/daemon) for web interface with chrom*/mozilla?

[12:59] pikapi, delete it. you need ntfs / fat32 for a bootable USB [12:59] oh [12:59] On Dual boot win10/U 15.10 grub knocked off by windows boot-repair-didn't fix Boot Repair Report Difficulties http://paste.ubuntu.com/13488855/ [13:00] now it is ntfs === Don is now known as Guest66400 [13:01] now I will do dd if=iso of=/dev/sdb ?

[13:06] Spaceeman: inkscape perhaps? [13:06] pikapi: I thought you might be also wanting another file-system on the device for storing and sharing files persistently [13:06] would unetbootin not make this easy [13:06] but now it the flags say boot and hidden and fs=unknown [13:06] gui tool - select the device, select the iso [13:07] lotuspsychje: thanks but it's not why I'm lloking for :( [13:07] pikapi: Ignore that, the ISO images are hybrid bootable, they can boot from DVD (using ISO9660 El Torito), from BIOS (using MBR) and from UEFI (using GPT+EFI-SP) [13:07] ikonia the default option in unetbootin launches busybox and I can't scroll down because I have usb keyboard [13:07] HI folks [13:07] Spaceeman: alot of online pdfs editors out there also [13:07] unetbootin does not luanch busy box [13:08] I removed the hidden flag [13:08] it launches the iso you write to it [13:08] ikonia for me it launched busybox, command prompt [13:08] In many softxare, when you print, you can chose "To a file" (PDF) Then, there are some marges...

[13:09] cfhowlett I will reboot and see if it works [13:09] pikapi: that happens because the kernel, and the scripts in the initial ramdisk image, cannot find the root file-system [13:09] should I enable lba flag too? [13:09] pikapi: do not change anything! The ISO image is perfect as it is. [13:10] pikapi: if the ISO image, on the raw device, doesn't boot at all (as opposed to getting so far and then getting stuck), that's another matter.

[13:11] stangeland: I wish I weren't :) [13:11] ok. I will retry unet then [13:11] I want to ask about 14.04.1 compared to 14.04.3 and if 14.04.3 is LTS to 2019? [13:11] Have yet to have anyone in #ubuntu-server answer my questions, ok to ask here about postfix? [13:12] !lts | caf4926 [13:12] caf4926: 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) [13:12] TJ-, hehe...people are pulling your hair eh? :) [13:12] stangeland: I can't find any straight-forward way to move files within an ext* file-system to the 'start' of the space. 'e4defrag' might help but unlikely. [13:12] TJ-, ok...so do you think wiping the system and configuring differently could solve my problems? [13:12] ! funny, the bot doesn't really understand my question [13:12] caf4926: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:12] I think I killed the usb somehow [13:13] lol [13:13] TJ-, maybe reconfigure the raid also [13:13] How should I edit mimetype file to enable chromium to open transmission web UI when I click on the downloaded torrent in chromium's bottom download bar/line? [13:13] TJ-, the reason its running raid 0 is because it needs to support a lot of cores writing to a lot of small files simultaneously very quickly [13:13] stangeland: If you can afford to re-install, I'd suggest doing that, and when you get to the partitioning stage create 2 small partitions first, the first being a 512MB FAT32 file-system for EFI-SP, and a 2nd 2MB for BIOS Boot, which are guaranteed to be at the start of the underlying disk as well as the start of the RAID-0 span [13:14] with the usb plugged in and ububtu booting it says usb 1-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 [13:14] stangeland: also, I'd recommend installing in UEFI mode rather than Legacy/BIOS assuming the MegaRAID device is visible from UEFI boot-loader stage [13:14] and also read/8 [13:14] pikapi: OK, so the USB device is failing on the link [13:15] so am I correct that actually we will get 14.04.4 and then .5 and it's .5 that will extend it to 2019 [13:15] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_Support [13:15] pikapi: it is possible the image written to the USB device was corrupted, or that reading it back is corrupting it [13:15] so now [13:16] the image works when I have unetboot write it [13:16] pikapi: after you did the 'dd' write operation did you 'sync' to ensure all the data in the RAM cache was flushed to the device, before you unplugged it? [13:17] caf4926: you have 2 kernels who have long term support. the 14.04 3.13 and the 16.04 4.XX kernel. so either you stay on the 3.13 or you upgrade the kernel until you are on the 16.04 backports kernel [13:17] stangeland: in addition to that, you should create as the 3rd partition a separate /boot/ file-system of about 1GB to store GRUB files, the kernel images and supporting initrd.img files [13:17] k1l: are they back porting non-released kernels now ? [13:18] k1l: but the other software continues to be patched too regardless of whether you install 14.04.1 or .3? [13:18] ikonia: no. its when 16.04 is released their kernel gets backported for testing to 14.04 and is put officially in the enablement stack for 14.04.5 [13:18] pikapi: when I write ISOs to USB, I first test boot them in a virtual machine [13:18] Having trouble setting up postfix on Ubuntu server, I have POP3 working properly, but SMTP without authentication won't allow me to send outgoing mail, and I am having troubles setting up authentication. [13:19] k1l: sorry thought you where saying it was there now, hence my surprise [13:20] caf4926: the point releases are like the servicepacks on windows. they summarize all updates until that day. additionaly they include the backports kernel and xorg stuff in the enablement stack [13:20] how can I install java? [13:20] !java | nitish [13:20] nitish: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [13:20] nitish: install the open jre from the repos [13:20] TJ-, i see ok. Very good comments. Do you have more hints you think would be valueble ? [13:21] k1l: ty [13:21] stangeland: those should protect you sufficiently [13:21] Hello. I am using Ubuntu precise and am in the need of python 3.4.3 but official repos only provide 3.4.2. Should I build from source or is there another (easier) way to install? [13:22] say other repository [13:22] pTBD: Upgrade to trusty. [13:22] !precise | pTBD [13:22] pTBD: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is a currently-supported !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 [13:22] stangeland: although I'd also suggest using LVM in the install process, so you (re)assign space in the future (I usually leave at least 10% unallocated and available) [13:23] pTBD, you can upgrade directly to 14.04 as it's also an LTS release. [13:23] jpds: yeah, thanks. but no. Precise is the software running on a private cloud thing I have and I am not going to update that. [13:23] pTBD: It would be a _terrible_ idea to build such a core component from source [13:23] pTBD: install a 14.04 chroot, run it from that [13:23] hmm [13:25] TJ-, you have really been a great help to me. Thank you so much [13:25] sorry my phone battery exhausted [13:26] I used unetboot again. and now it is again in initramfs [13:26] Anybody here got any experience with asciidoc? Not sure where else I can ask [13:26] different question. Am I doing something wrong or why can't I find pip or virtualenv in the repos? since python 3.4.2 is used in precise, shouldn't there be those packages in the repos? AFAIK in debian they are [13:26] cannot mount /dev/loop0 it says [13:26] what can I do [13:27] pikapi: that'll be because due to what unetbootin did, the ISO's root file-system is no longer where the code expects it to be [13:27] yeah. I removed the other usb on which the iso was [13:28] !info python-pip precise [13:28] python-pip (source: python-pip): alternative Python package installer. In component universe, is optional.

[13:30] I am 100% sure it is [13:30] what md5sum it is? [13:30] pikapi: wich ubuntu version are you on, and wich are you gonna put on usb? [13:30] pikapi: it might help to 'md5sum' the image on the USb after writing it, to be sure it got stored correctly [13:30] 14.04 and same [13:31] pikapi, you're on 14.04 now? [13:31] dd works well pikapi, much better than those aother apps like unetbootin etc [13:31] now how to see the md5 [13:31] i dont understand the issue? check the md5sum to get facts. then use dd to burn it onto the usb. [13:32] pikapi, you're on 14.04 now? [13:32] yeah . m on 14.04 [13:32] and the iso is same too [13:33] pikapi, so why don't you use the default ubuntu-startup-disk-creator??? [13:34] !md5sum | pikapi [13:34] pikapi: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [13:34] didn't give a bootable usb [13:34] i don't know, i am the new linux user [13:34] nothing makes the usb bootable except unetboot [13:34] pikapi, false. startup disk creator makes workable USB's out of the box [13:35] pikapi: so what is the .isos md5sum? [13:35] Rufus can do it, to make bootable usb. [13:35] there is nothingon the usb [13:35] it is blank o.O [13:36] pikapi: open a tail -f /var/log/syslog while you plugin usb and create the stick [13:37] are you serius? [13:37] luqman_: can we help you? [13:37] !behelpful | luqman_, [13:37] luqman_,: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [13:39] No, i just new linux user. i wont study. [13:39] I am using startup disk creator again [13:39] now hope it works [13:39] pikapi: stop [13:39] stop? [13:39] pikapi: make a md5sum check on the .iso first [13:40] lets not waste time again and get some facts now to really see what is the issue [13:40] oh. how to do it [13:40] pikapi: you're misreporting the facts, which doesn't help. You told us earlier the USB *boots* but gets stuck at the logo splash screen, didn't you? [13:40] .... [13:40] !md5sum | pikapi [13:40] pikapi: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [13:41] pikapi, wait what? You STILL haven't done the md5sum!? [13:41] bad facts ===> bad answers. I'm done. Good luck. [13:43] the iso is the same I used to get the current ubuntu running. It didn't occur to me that the iso could be corrupt [13:43] I can even mount it without error [13:43] let me check md5 anyway [13:43] pikapi: to verify the MD5 sum of the image after writing it to the USB, do "DEV=/dev/sdX; ISO=Downloads/ubuntu-15.10-server-i386.iso; SZ=$(stat -c %s ${ISO}); sudo dd if=$DEV count=1 bs=$SZ | md5sum - " [13:44] pikapi: replace the values of DEV and ISO to ones that match your system [13:44] dd is fun lol [13:45] pikapi: the reason for the somewhat complicated command is you have to have the MD5 calculated on the exact same number of bytes that were written - and most USBs are larger than the ISO they contain, so an MD5 sum of the entire device would never match the ISO image [13:46] tj-there is already a md5sum.txt file on the usb having md5 of all folders [13:46] pikapi: that's not the same thing at all [13:47] pikapi: that doesn't cover the boot-loader, the file-system structure, the layout of the ISO image [13:47] pikapi: that doesn't cover the boot-loader, the file-system structure, the layout of the ISO image [13:48] pikapi: a single bit being flipped 0 or 1 is enough to cause the thing to fail [13:48] tj- sorry teej. I give up :"( I can't get this to work [13:48] I will go back to the windows tool >.<" [13:48] pikapi: why dont you want to run md5sum on the iso? you were asked a lot of times now. what is the issue? [13:49] pikapi: you make it very hard to support you if you refuse to bring some facts [13:49] k1l rn I am on phone and internet is not available on computer [13:49] pikapi: you dont need internet to run a md5sum check === malachi is now known as inversechi [13:50] I did md5 and it said md5 command not found. [13:50] this is pointless [13:50] information is not being shared [13:50] instructions are not being followed [13:50] pikapi: typo, md5sum [13:50] I actually advise you give up - your attitude is not going to get you help/support [13:50] pikapi: ok, so you dont even read the wiki page with all the informations [13:51] pikapi: so stop asking in here if you dont want to be helped anyway. [13:52] alrite wait. I think it is calculating it now [13:53] 0bc058cdc75fb75d4922c7c74c4cd6b1 [13:53] the iso is ububtu 14.04lts 32bit [13:53] !hashes [13:53] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of all downloadable Ubuntu releases [13:54] ok, the md5sum matches ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-i386.iso [13:54] pikapi: it matches [13:54] pikapi: what's the problem btw? [13:54] so now use "dd" to bring it to /dev/sdx where x is your usb drive [13:55] pikapi: now verify the USB, do "DEV=/dev/sdX; ISO=ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-i386.iso; SZ=$(stat -c %s ${ISO}); sudo dd if=$DEV count=1 bs=$SZ | md5sum - " [13:55] the usb won't boot if I use startup disk creator on Ubuntu or dd [13:55] pikapi: set DEV and ISO correctly [13:55] pikapi: what happens when you try to boot it? [13:55] and if I use unetbootin it boots but goes to initramfs [13:55] EriC^^: last time it hung on the splash screen. [13:56] probably a bad usb pikapi [13:56] eric gets stucked on oem logo. and goes forward only if usb removed [13:56] stop repeating the same thing and follow the command TJ- has given you [13:56] pikapi: do you have another usb you could use? [13:56] yes [13:56] pikapi: check the MD5 of the USB, make sure it matches the one you just got for the ISO image [13:56] pikapi: try a different usb [13:57] EriC^^: wait, you're introducing confusion and there's enough of that already. [13:58] tj- omg thats a big command. will take 10minutes to type it o.O and will make 7-8 errors also [13:59] pikapi: I don't know how you manage it, but going back through my logs you've been in this situation at least once before (5th November) - the number and type of issues you've brought to us here suggest you don't follow the instructions correctly, or else, you've got a system with bad RAM that is corrupting things randomly. [14:00] pikapi: it's not complicated really, you can try it to see if the iso on the usb is damaged, or try a different usb and see if it works [14:01] sudo dd if=/dev/sdb count=1 bs=$( stat -c %s /path/to/iso) | md5sum - [14:01] if you want to try TJ- 's command for the usb, try the above, make sure you use the right /dev/sdX and /path/to/iso [14:05] tj- like I said the usb randomly stops workingevery 3 days and I just format it and reinstall but this time it didn't act up for 15-3weeks till yesterday. and I went to format it. but this time I don't have the windows tool I always used. I tried every tool in Ubuntu. unet, startup disk, dd. I swear I just want to throw the computer out the Window. but I felt strongly people here are very skilled and can make it work :) [14:06] pikapi: do you mix your usb sticks around windows and ubuntu for use? [14:07] pikapi: is that always using it on the same PC, or on different PCs [14:08] tj- same pc [14:09] pikapi: do you plug/unplug the USB device frequently? One of the drawbacks to those is that over time the physical stress of insertion/removal can cause the solder between USB plug and PCB to fracture, leading to high resistance and corrupted transfers. I've had to repair several by reflowing solder and flux [14:09] pikapi: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugin your usb, then pastebin us the output [14:11] tj- never. it is in the back slot since eternity. I don't even turn the computer off [14:18] hello [14:18] How to install ubuntu to macbook beside osx [14:19] !mac | robotti^ [14:19] robotti^: gl :D [14:19] robotti^: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [14:19] lotuspsychje: I already read that [14:20] I am just wondering what I am doing wrong [14:20] because grub could not install [14:21] robotti^: why not? maybe wrong bios mode? [14:21] robotti^: any error code? [14:21] robotti^: wait until EriC^^ comes back, he might help dualboot efi stuff [14:21] robotti^: i guess u need to install it in EFI + GPT mode [14:21] I am trying install biosmode? [14:21] because I am going to use nvidia driver [14:22] VenomByte: it just say it could not install grub on partition === arseny is now known as _nemesys [14:23] some years ago I installed ubuntu beside osx, but I do not really remember what I did do :) [14:24] maybe I must modified my partition table? [14:25] robotti^: you need to let grub install for mac, and then bless the file so the mac boots it [14:25] failed attempt :) [14:25] robotti^: if im right you atleast need a ~1MB free space for the bootloader and atleast one partition to install root '/' on [14:26] robotti^: also install the bootloader on the DRIVE and not on a partition [14:26] one boot partition? [14:26] robotti^: [14:26] I did try install drive [14:26] robotti^: no [14:26] robotti^: for a BIOS-boot installation of GRUB, it needs somewhere to put the core.img: either ~2000 sectors spare between the hybrid MBR, primary GPT and first partition, or a BIOS Boot partition of at least 1MB [14:26] but it could not [14:27] can I skip the select and install software section while installing ubuntu via mini.iso in expert mode? [14:27] TJ-: So where I must install bios-boot? [14:27] fsociety[00]dat: any reason you using minimal? [14:28] TJ-: so I reinstall ubuntu? [14:28] robotti^: can you boot a live usb? [14:28] reboot with install media [14:28] lotuspsychje: I will select all my needs later. [14:28] EriC^^: I am running live usb [14:28] but I just try it with live installer [14:28] robotti^: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:28] robotti^: no problem [14:29] can i schedule a startup time and a start up time for my computer in ubuntu ?? [14:29] EriC^^: should I write that commandline [14:29] EriC^^: what does nc do? [14:29] I mean and a shutdown time * [14:29] robotti^: yes [14:29] VenomByte: netcat [14:29] EriC^^: thanks :) [14:29] meo: there's the rtcwake [14:29] man rtcwake for more info === dscamp_ is now known as dscamp [14:30] EriC^^: i see [14:30] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/v7tv [14:30] VenomByte: handy, right? [14:30] :) [14:31] robotti^: ok, here's the deal, mac needs the efi partition to be hfs+ to boot the efi file from it [14:32] EriC^^: yes i didn't know that command :1 === newbie is now known as Guest738 [14:32] EriC^^: so, what that means? [14:32] robotti^: type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [14:32] robotti^: we need to convert it to hfs+ [14:32] on ubuntu? [14:32] then tell grub to install there, then "bless" the file so mac will boot it [14:33] robotti^: yeah, type the first command so we can see what's in the efi partition right now [14:33] EriC^^: I mounted [14:33] EriC^^ : what is the command to make my computer shutdown in 9 pm and start up when it's 4 am ???? [14:34] EriC^^: in /mnt there is EFI [14:34] robotti^: ok, type ls -lR /mnt | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:34] robotti^: you're dual booting with osx right now? [14:34] try sudo shutdown -P -h [14:34] cause i thought mac needed the efi to be hfs+ [14:34] EriC^^: yes. but without working ubuntu installation [14:35] where can i get support libevdev? [14:35] robotti^: so osx is in uefi mode? [14:35] EriC^^ ; and does the computer consume battery in sleep state ?? [14:35] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/5n02 [14:35] EriC^^: I do not know [14:35] Allright, i'm having a bit of an issue. I have an usb with ubuntu on it. But when i'm booting it, the purple ubuntu screen with the 5 small round loading icons show, but then it hangs. No monitor output, but the computer is still alive [14:36] EriC^^: I have installed refind [14:36] robotti^: that boots osx usually? [14:36] now [14:36] yes [14:36] i think you can add ubuntu to that, the method i was talking about was to use the standard mac bootloader [14:37] EriC^^: is there bios support? [14:37] dersand: ubuntu version? [14:37] EriC^^ : ?? === zai is now known as Guest99250 [14:37] EriC^^: because of proprietary nvidia driver for linux [14:37] meo: i dunno much about it [14:37] EriC^^: so what's about know? [14:38] lotuspsychje: if i have the iso, where can i check it? I've renamed the iso file [14:39] EriC^^: should I reinstall ubuntu? [14:39] EriC^^; and obviously no body knows about it cause no one tried to reply , right .. [14:39] !patience | meo [14:39] meo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [14:39] robotti^: no [14:39] EriC^^: what about know? :D [14:40] robotti^: ok, well it says refind should pick up grub if it's in the efi partition, fat32 or hfs+, anyways it's not there so you have to install grub there [14:41] robotti^: type sudo umount /mnt [14:41] then sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt [14:41] dersand: that sounds like the GPU driver is getting something wrong, and either switching to an unconnected output, or else trying to select a mode that is out of range of the monitor. Both would cause the symptom you describe. Have you tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a text terminal, in case that's enough to 'wake' it up? [14:41] EriC^^: done [14:42] robotti^: type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi [14:43] TJ-: If i press the computer power button i get to the screen that says "please remove the installation media and clost the tray(if any) then press enter:" [14:43] dersand: so this is purely a Live Desktop ISO image on the USB ? [14:43] EriC^^: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi [14:43] mount: mount point /mnt/boot/efi does not exist [14:44] dersand: sounds like you may need to interupt the start-up process and add 'nomodeset' to the kernel's boot options. Is it booting in Legacy BIOS, or UEFI, mode, ? [14:44] TJ-: Yes [14:44] robotti^: hmm, type cat /mnt/etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:44] EriC^^ : i want my computer to do that by default , not when i want it to go to sleep type the command , and rtcwake doesnt specify shutdown/sleep time only wake up time [14:44] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/t6zt [14:44] meo: you can use cron to run the commands at specific times [14:45] meo: simply use "shutdown" you can tell it what time to do it! see "man shutdown" [14:45] TJ-: he wants to have it sleep then wake up at specific times, i suggested rtcwake [14:46] robotti^: it looks like you have ubuntu installed in legacy mode, you need it installed in uefi mode [14:46] EriC^^: meo Oh, you mean suspend? [14:46] EriC^^: it is mac install media, so no uefi mode [14:46] TJ-> ; i wnant to schedule a shutdown time and a start up time for my computer , and make it do it by default [14:46] robotti^: easiest thing would be to reinstall ubuntu in uefi mode, but make sure in the installer NOT to choose reinstall ubuntu, that will erase your entire disk, use the Something else option to specify which partitions to install ubuntu to' [14:46] TJ- ; well Yes [14:47] robotti^: what do you mean? you can't boot the live usb in uefi mode? [14:47] EriC^^: it means that [14:47] meo: well, if it's a real shutdown, not an S3 suspend-to-RAM, rtcwake + a cron job, or "shutdown
