| [Saint] | anyone available to give me some help on pulseaudio vs. alsa madness? | 00:06 |
| [Saint] | having sound setting panel open, and alsamixer, gives some really really confusing results. | 00:06 |
| [Saint] | every so often my 5.1 surround setup goes absolutely mental and one channel becomes significantly louder than the others. | 00:07 |
| Baconz | What kind of results? | 00:07 |
| [Saint] | and there some just plain crazy stuff in the sound setting panel, like setting a left|right fade for some reason adjusts the ouput volume. | 00:07 |
| boxmein | what's a nice way to get a directory in my /home to show up on my local http server | 00:07 |
| boxmein | I was thinking symlink /var/www/html/box to /home/boxmein/webshit | 00:08 |
| boxmein | but, that seems like it won't work because file eprms | 00:08 |
| yppo | I have a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz, how many cores do i have? I mean, when I measure cpuload is my max 2 or 4? | 00:08 |
| [Saint] | testing with "speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav" works absolutely as expected. | 00:08 |
| [Saint] | the sound settings panel sound test is just...craziness. | 00:08 |
| yppo | I have processor 0 and processor 1 each have cpu cores : 2 | 00:09 |
| yppo | :S | 00:09 |
| TJ- | boxmein: apache has the mod_user facility that will serve out $HOME/public_html as http://host/~$USER | 00:12 |
| TJ- | boxmein: excuse me, mod_userdir | 00:12 |
| boxmein | TJ-: oh neat, anything neat for nginx for that? | 00:13 |
| TJ- | boxmein: see the docs for more details. but all you need do is enable the module. https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/public_html.html | 00:13 |
| boxmein | meh I'll try a rewrite rule first, and then :D | 00:13 |
| boxmein | TJ-: that's pretty neat :D sadly doesn't apply to nginx :( | 00:13 |
| foxlet | Has anyone had the chromeos_laptop module reply with “__add_probed_i2c_device failed to dmi find device trackpad.”? | 00:15 |

| MWM | Ive got a 6TB drive that shows only 2 x 2TB partitions in Gparted : how can I find my other 2TB | 00:16 |
| TJ- | MWM: probably you've used msdos partitioning; you probably need to use GPT | 00:16 |
| === root is now known as Guest24962 | ||
| MWM | TJ: Im not so sure... I can use GPT for each of the 2x2TB partitions and then format as I like, but there is still 2TB missing. Ive also wiped the disk down to nothing with diskpart in windows and still come up with only 2x2TB | 00:18 |
| daftykins | what's it connected to? is it an old PC? | 00:19 |
| daftykins | what's the OS version running? | 00:19 |
| daftykins | MWM: ^ | 00:19 |
| TJ- | MWM: does 'parted -l' show it has an msdos partition label? | 00:19 |
| MWM | semi current pc : running lubuntu 15.10 / uses ddr3 and a current proccessor | 00:19 |
| daftykins | got a dmesg? | 00:21 |
| MWM | TJ: is there another argument/swith to enter after "parted -l" ? | 00:21 |
| [Saint] | Holy crap...what the? :-S | 00:21 |
| TJ- | MWM: the name of the device | 00:21 |
| [Saint] | 'Surround' in alsamixer adjusts both the fade, and the balance, in a non-obvious and inconsistent way. | 00:22 |
| TJ- | [Saint]: sounds like there's something weird going on there! | 00:22 |
| [Saint] | and adjusting fade/balance in the sound setting panel adjusts the master mixer in alsamixer for...some reason? | 00:23 |
| === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ | ||
| [Saint] | it's as though pulse and alsa are fighting each other and can't decide who wins. | 00:23 |
| MWM | now lsblk isnt even showing it. is there something special I should be looking for in parted -l and dmesg? | 00:23 |
| [Saint] | alsa's CLI mixer test for 5 and 7.1 surround works perfectly as expected. | 00:23 |
| TJ- | [Saint]: try booting without the GUI, and testing alsamixer, see if you get the same thing | 00:24 |
| [Saint] | the sound panel, however... | 00:24 |
| === ludwig is now known as Guest58928 | ||
| TJ- | MWM: 'dmesg' represents the kernel's view and shouldn't have a problem | 00:27 |
| TJ- | MWM: but as I said if the device has an msdos label you'll hit these kind of issues with large capacity drives | 00:27 |
| MWM | drive is back. weird. parted -l says there is a corrupted GPT and I should use parted's recovery feature. Guess I will try that | 00:29 |
| TJ- | MWM: corruption mentioned? | 00:30 |
| anabain | TJ-, regarding the /media dir permissions issue, I finally got it working: I had to chown root: users and chmod -R 2775 the /media dir, (with user "joan" added to users group, of course) | 00:31 |
| TJ- | MWM: you might want to do some rigorous drive health checking before you put anything precious on that device | 00:31 |
| MWM | "both primary and backup gpt tables are corrupt...." drive checking is what Im doing this drive hasnt hit service yet | 00:31 |
| Baconz | s | 00:31 |
| MWM | running in to these issues from the start :) | 00:32 |
| TJ- | MWM: not looking good then. check /var/log/kern.log for drive I/O errors | 00:33 |
| anabain | TJ-, but the weird thing is that this setup will only work exporting the "original" dirs at /etc/exports. If I use bind (for /home) and rbind (for /media), the latter won't work properly, I'm not be able to access it from dolphin at the client... Weird! | 00:33 |
| TJ- | anabain: I seem to recall you need to specify additional 'exports' options to accept rbinds | 00:34 |
| TJ- | anabain: maybe I am confusing that with crossmnt; I know configured NFS that way some time ago (with rbinds) | 00:35 |
| MWM | it will list "error" in /var/log/kern.log ? Ive got a few things listed in relation to the drive but none say error. The only thing that isnt common sense is "Mode Sense: Some Hex Digits" | 00:36 |
| TJ- | MWM: things like "I/O Error", but there can be references to mode sense too. Best to paste the last 1000 lines or so if in doubt | 00:37 |
| anabain | TJ-, I used crossmnt, but it didn't do the trick. In theory, crossmnt option will let you access subdir mounts, but whilst these subdirs can be seen with dolphin at the client, they cannot be accessed | 00:38 |
| TJ- | anabain: right, that comes back to the idmap/permissions | 00:39 |
| MWM | in windows when a drive is borked : diskpart -> list disk -> select disk # -> clean all : How do I accomplish this in Linux? | 00:39 |
| daftykins | that doesn't help a disk at all. | 00:40 |
| samthewildone | Does anyone have some questions about why when I visit some sites that plugin (flash) does not seem to load or work ? | 00:40 |
| Baconz | Why do you use flash? | 00:41 |
| samthewildone | I've noticed this for the past 2 weeks, some websites will not load the flash plugin leaving a box stating "this plugin is not supported". | 00:41 |
| samthewildone | actually its shockwave. | 00:41 |
| Baconz | It has so many security vulnerabilities. And it just simply does not work for no apparent reason! | 00:41 |
| anabain | TJ-, and how can I set them? I put NEED_IDMAPD=yes in /etc/default/nfs-common files at the client, but it didn't seem to make any difference. Is there anything else to be done? | 00:41 |
| k1l_ | samthewildone: sometimes its warez sites wanting you to download a virus. | 00:42 |
| samthewildone | !shockwave | 00:42 |
| ubottu | shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave | 00:42 |
| TJ- | anabain: "man 5 idmapd.conf" | 00:42 |
| anabain | ok | 00:42 |
| TJ- | anabain: NFS is a very complex system, it's not like using Windows Shares | 00:43 |
| anabain | TJ-, for sure | 00:43 |
| OerHeks | samthewildone, yes, flash drm content works best on chrome nowadays. | 00:43 |
| Warlock | Hey all | 00:44 |
| MWM | daftykins: you are right but it will set me back at square one. then I can set the correct partition table and format. right now Im kinda stuck | 00:45 |
| TJ- | MWM: you can recreate partitionining with parted or with the gdisk tools | 00:46 |
| === user is now known as Guest30812 | ||
| MWM | Im am trying to use fdisk as we speak. is it the wrong option > | 00:47 |
| TJ- | no, don't use fdisk | 00:47 |
| jnagro | TJ-, you helped me a couple days ago with a bug related to my encrypted swap not geting an offset line in crypttab | 00:48 |
| TJ- | MWM: fdisk is an msdos MBR tool; use gdisk (which is the GPT equivalent) | 00:48 |
| TJ- | jnagro: I remember | 00:48 |
| jnagro | you successfully helped me re-enable swap, but i dont think the encryption is back | 00:48 |
| MWM | TJ: thanks | 00:48 |
| jnagro | TJ-, how do i verify that part? | 00:48 |
| jnagro | and/or re-enable it if needed. | 00:48 |
| TJ- | MWM: you can also clear all existing partitioning metadata using 'sddisk --zap-all /dev/sdX' to start from a clean slate | 00:49 |
| TJ- | jnagro: first, check the crypt device is showing as /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt | 00:49 |
| TJ- | jnagro: then, check for the swap device with "cat /proc/swaps" | 00:50 |
| TJ- | MWM: excuse me, a typo there! 'sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sdX' | 00:50 |
| === dex is now known as Guest33278 | ||
| MWM | was just looking for that :) sounds like exacly what I want | 00:51 |
| jnagro | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/fCZnq6eD | 00:52 |
| jnagro | TJ-, the reason i'm asking is that my boot used to ask me for disk passwords twice (before the login screen) and now it only asks me for one. | 00:53 |
| MWM | found valid GPT with protective MBR ? is this what i should see? | 00:53 |
| azizLIGHT | anyone know a software to pick colors on the screen and get rgb? | 00:53 |
| TJ- | jnagro: that's correct; you had it configured wrong before | 00:53 |
| TJ- | jnagro: the encrypted swap uses a key that is randomly generated at each boot; your original crypttab had "none" instead of "/dev/urandom" as its key-file - I remember noticing that particularly when we were fixing it but I didn't think to call that out | 00:54 |
| === cyphase_ is now known as Guest17880 | ||
| jnagro | TJ-, Ah ha. That makes sense. | 00:55 |
| TJ- | jnagro: that "none" meant the system had to ask you for a passphrase, even though there was none on that device, so it'd silently fail to unlock | 00:55 |
| jnagro | TJ-, thank you, i appreciate the help! | 00:55 |
| LJSeinfeld | Need help please.... Something borked during a SSH session and I can no longer see my desktop when I log into the machine with 'nomachine'... All I see is a login screen (https://www.dropbox.com/s/crxdzgqygt4n7tj/Screenshot%202015-12-20%2018.55.26.png?dl=0) and if I log in, nothing happens... | 00:55 |
| MWM | gdisk finds no problems in either partition. I have formatted to GPT. I still think they should show as 1 disk and there should be 2TB more | 00:56 |
| TJ- | jnagro: everything looks good in your pastebin | 00:56 |
| jnagro | TJ-, thanks. the /dev/urandom explination connected to dots for me. | 00:57 |
| TJ- | MWM: are you saying that gdisk cannot create a single partition spanning the entire 6TB disk? | 00:57 |
| === KindOne is now known as nenolod | ||
| MWM | Im saying that lsblk shows 2 seperate block devices at 2TB each. I cannot view this HDD as 1 single device... but I willa dmit that Im not sure Im doing it right | 00:58 |
| TJ- | MWM: that sounds totally wrong! How is this device connected to the PC? | 00:58 |
| TJ- | MWM: can you show us "pastebinit <( sudo lsblk; dmesg )" | 00:59 |
| MWM | External USB. Totally sorry I didnt mention that before, I was just going to ask if that had any bearing | 00:59 |
| MWM | Its a used drive. Im trying to check integrity before putting it into the system | 01:01 |
| TJ- | MWM: aha! Yes, very much so. Those devices have a USB<>SATA bridge chipset in them, and they translate access. Many have capacity limits on the size of drives they can present. | 01:01 |
| TJ- | MWM: I'd 2^h500% recommend connecting the drive DIRECTLY on a SATA interface, for such a large drive. The translation of physical/logical sector sizes is VERY likely to change for the worse if you partition it on USB, even if you can see the entire disk | 01:02 |
| MWM | is it even worth it to do a surface test in this external adapter then? As I said I was just verifying the drive before putting it in the system | 01:03 |
| MWM | and thank you for confirming what was a growing suspicion | 01:03 |
| TJ- | MWM: No it isn't, as I was saying earlier, those USB bridge chipsets have a habit of literally burning out with systained access | 01:04 |
| MWM | explains why I have been needing to keep an icepack on this bad boy. Creeps upwards of 55C if I dont keep it on ice | 01:05 |
| TJ- | MWM: there was another user with related problems; although that turned out to be a fake USB flash storage that claimed to be 1TB but was likely only 32GB, (fake) and went read-only after sustained writes | 01:05 |
| MWM | TJ: Ive had that trouble with cheap SD cards. Exactly the issue as well | 01:05 |
| TJ- | It was pretty obvious - they bought it for US$10 :D | 01:06 |
| MWM | Is eSata any better or will I have the same issue do you think? | 01:06 |
| TJ- | eSATA is fine; that's just an external SATA connector | 01:06 |
| yoasif | estata generally works better | 01:07 |
| TJ- | MWM: I have external drives via eSATA>ExpressCard on my laptop; best way to do it | 01:07 |
| wal_zk | hi | 01:08 |

| x2 | TJ-: that is how i am trying to figure out, but when googling it, the instructions are all over the place. | 02:34 |
| x2 | at least the sites i have checked out. | 02:35 |
| TJ- | x2: at what point does the boot fail? | 02:35 |
| TJ- | x2: if GRUB loads the kernel image and initrd and hands over, then its in 1 or both of those. | 02:35 |
| x2 | TJ-: grub got fixed. n | 02:35 |
| x2 | TJ-: now it goes all the way to the user log in windows. | 02:35 |
| TJ- | x2: so that's the /boot/vmlinuz-XXXXXX images from the linux-image-XXXXXX-generic packages, or the generated /boot/initrd.img-XXXXXX via "update-initramfs -u -k XXXXXXXX" | 02:36 |
| x2 | TJ-: just to make sure i am understanding ... you are saying to run: linux-image-3.19.0-42-generic | 02:39 |
| x2 | oops sorry that its a wrong paste | 02:39 |
| x2 | you mean to run: "update-initramfs -u -k XXXXXXXX" | 02:40 |
| x2 | where xxx its the kernel versio | 02:40 |
| x2 | n | 02:40 |
| TJ- | x2: correct, because there are multiple kernel versions installed at any time | 02:42 |
| x2 | so the xxxx is the current that i have or the new one that i want? | 02:43 |
| TJ- | x2: if you notice other issues it is possible you've caused unfixable corruption that requires a system reinstall, or reinstalling every package | 02:43 |
| TJ- | x2: XXXXXX represents any version you have, you replace it with the version number you want to reinstall | 02:44 |
| x2 | TJ-: no issues that i can tell now. when rebooting it works smooth. it is the kernel version that i have its not the latest | 02:44 |
| TJ- | x2: if you have linux-generic, linux-image-generic, linux-headers-generic installed those will ensure the latest kernel and header versions are installed | 02:45 |
| TJ- | x2: oh hang on! | 02:45 |
| x2 | ok.. | 02:45 |
| TJ- | x2: are you on Trusty 14.04 or 15.04 ? | 02:45 |
| TJ- | x2: if it is 14.04 Trusty then those kernel versions are from the 15.04 Vivid hardware enablement stack, and you need alternate kernel package master files | 02:46 |
| x2 | Linux it 3.19.0-41-generic #46~14.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 17:46:43 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux | 02:46 |
| TJ- | x2: "cat /etc/issue" | 02:46 |
| x2 | cat /etc/issue | 02:47 |
| x2 | Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l | 02:47 |
| TJ- | x2: OK, so you need the HWE packages | 02:47 |
| TJ- | !ltse | 02:48 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 02:48 |
| TJ- | x2: so, that means that "linux-generic-lts-vivid" should be installed to ensure the kernels are kept up to date | 02:48 |
| x2 | ah, i don't remember seeing that in the list when grub was giving me the menu. | 02:49 |
| x2 | TJ-: probably i should start from there. installing ...lts-vivid | 02:49 |
| TJ- | x2: "dpkg -l '*vivid*' " should show you the list of HWe packages installed | 02:49 |

| baywords | Hi everyone. I have a question about a adsl/router combo in trying to disable to use a slave as the primary. Bc I think the tds provided modem router combo sucks. | 02:51 |
| baywords | This isn't anything Ubuntu or Linux related.. Sorry | 02:51 |
| cuddylier | Why do I see just '$' in SSH when I login as a user I added through 'adduser'? | 02:51 |
| cuddylier | And not their home directory straight away? | 02:52 |
| TJ- | cuddylier: that's the shell prompt | 02:52 |
| genewitch | cuddylier: did you do adduser -m | 02:52 |
| cuddylier | genewitch: No, I just did 'adduser' from what I remember | 02:52 |
| cuddylier | How do I 'fix' the user so it's normal? | 02:52 |
| TJ- | cuddylier: you used 'adduser' or 'useradd' (-m is an option to useradd) | 02:53 |
| baywords | Does anyone know of a channel on free node that can help with me routing? Using a slave as the primary wifi signal. If that's possible | 02:53 |
| genewitch | cuddylier: it's in the /etc | 02:53 |
| x2 | TJ-: so the pkg is there. does the upgrade has to be done manually or happens automatically? | 02:53 |
| cuddylier | genewitch: What should I do though to stop them logging in, in console mode? | 02:53 |
| TJ- | cuddylier: 'adduser' will create the home directory based on the /etc/adduser.conf config, which unless you've altered it, should be doing all the usual stuff. | 02:54 |
| genewitch | cuddylier: it's in /etc/passwd | 02:54 |
| TJ- | x2: it'll follow automatically | 02:54 |
| genewitch | cuddylier: from now on if you're making an interactive user use -m | 02:54 |
| x2 | TJ-: awesome. so i will leave alone then. thanks for your help. i really appreciate it. | 02:54 |
| cuddylier | genewitch: Thanks for the advice, will do. | 02:55 |
| genewitch | cuddylier: oh, stop them from logging in in console mode? | 02:55 |
| cuddylier | yeah | 02:55 |
| genewitch | cuddylier: is this a service user? like nginx or httpd? | 02:55 |
| cuddylier | No, a normal additional ssh user | 02:55 |
| genewitch | what do you want to happen when they log in? | 02:55 |
| cuddylier | to be redirected to their home folder | 02:56 |
| TJ- | genewitch: that is incorrect - 'adduser' doesn't have a -m option, and 'useradd' isn't recommended to be used. | 02:56 |
| TJ- | cuddylier: what does "pwd" report? | 02:56 |
| genewitch | TJ-: ok i believe you | 02:56 |
| TJ- | cuddylier: you're only talking about the shell prompt | 02:56 |
| x2 | baywords: try #peoplesopen.net folks there are into wi-fi | 02:57 |

| x2 | TJ-: the laptop crashing its kernel has its hd encrypted. | 03:04 |
| TJ- | x2: which part of the disk is encrypted, individual partitions, if so, what is in those? | 03:05 |
| x2 | TJ-: saying it, so in case similar issue comes into the channel. | 03:05 |
| x2 | TJ-: the whole disk, encryption done at moment of OS installation. | 03:06 |
| x2 | TJ-: anyways... gotta go now. many thanks again! | 03:07 |
| TJ- | x2: the whole disk is never encrypted; couldn't be booted from in that case. indvidual partitions may be. so we need to know what they contain | 03:07 |
| x2 | TJ-: well, i know. -what do you mean with what is their content? regular stuff, rgular user stuff. | 03:09 |
| TJ- | x2: e.g. if there's a separate file-system/partition for /boot/, that can be encrypted, as well as the partition containing the root file-system/LVM | 03:09 |
| TJ- | x2: so there can be 2 partitions requiring unlocking at boot-time. If you go directly to the GRUB boot menu that suggests a separate /boot/ file-system that is not encrypted | 03:10 |
| x2 | TJ-: i see, now all its in one partition. | 03:11 |
| x2 | (now = no) | 03:11 |
| TJ- | x2: so that suggests the root file-system isn't encrypted then, else there'd be no access to the GRUB menu without a 'crpytomount' unlock from GRUB | 03:11 |
| x2 | oh.. i see.. gotta go... people will grab me from my hair.. i need to get going. thanks! bye now. | 03:12 |

| Guest53278 | i have created a new partition from a device using command "fdisk /dev/sda1" | 04:03 |
| Guest53278 | the option is "extended" (i dont know what's the diff if i chose "primary" also) | 04:04 |

| MannyLNJ | Bashing-om, Looks like my systen is very slow. I'm using VNC to access the ubuntu system | 04:05 |
| Bashing-om | Guest53278: Consider that in the leagcy partitioning scheme there is a 4 primary partition limit. The way to get around this limit is to create one of those primary partitions as 'extended' . This 'extended' partition is a container to hold 'logical' partitions . | 04:06 |

| Bassem | i want to set Clint for exchange email server but i wont it to keep offline emails on my computer | 08:13 |
| cfhowlett | jack098, the kernel has nothing to do with "bloat". | 08:13 |
| somsip | jack098: you;re using words and you dont know what they mean | 08:13 |
| cfhowlett | this ^^^ | 08:13 |

| somsip | jack098: you want to compile your own kernel using as few modules as possible? | 08:14 |
| jack098 | yea thats more like it | 08:15 |
| somsip | jack098: you're on your own with that then, or try #kernel or #linux. Support here for official kernels only | 08:15 |
| jack098 | can i do that while runnning os | 08:15 |
| jack098 | can anyone tell me best ide for python on ubuntu | 08:16 |
| cfhowlett | jack098, changing a tire while going down the freeway ... unwise | 08:16 |
| somsip | jack098: yes - you compile a new kernel, boot to it, watch it crash and burn, rinse and repeat until you get it right. Not supported here though. Good luck | 08:16 |

| Roikeman | if ubuntu freeze and the mouse move, but cant jump to terminal screen by alt+tab+f1-6, are you think my program running or stuck? | 08:40 |
| Roikeman | i running photorec, consider if reset or let it run | 08:41 |
| silidan1 | Roikeman: if your system hangs so hard you cant access ttyx in any reasonable amount of time i fear reset is your only option | 08:42 |
| sruli | Roikeman: are you sure u need alt+tab to get to tty not ctrl+alt? | 08:43 |
| silidan1 | Roikeman: sruli is right you need crtl+alt+Fx to access ttyx | 08:43 |

| ArchNoob | Hello I have a fatal issue. Yesterday I noticed I had somethings in my /mnt folder. I then lsblk to see what's mounted there but there was nothing as I expected. The contents were from my $HOME dir. But my home is mounted on /home. So I deleted everything in /mnt with cd /mnt; sudo rm -fr * then started noticing changes and the system went crazy. I haven't deleted much tho, But all contents from /boot and | 10:08 |
| ArchNoob | most things. What could cause this please? | 10:08 |
| EriC^^ | ArchNoob: something was mounted there, or maybe it was a symlink to another dir | 10:10 |
| EriC^^ | type ls -l /mnt and df /mnt | 10:10 |
| ArchNoob | EriC^^: Well, I could have seen it if it was mounted. Plus when I ran sudo umount /mnt something was displaying. I never read it but it was the reason I noticed my /mnt had contents. | 10:11 |

| EriC^^ | ArchNoob: yeah, that means it's mounted and something is using it | 10:19 |

| boxmein | Marouane: not directly fixing your issue, but have you tried configuring the device via sakis3g instead of the ubuntu thing? | 10:32 |
| boxmein | Marouane: I did that, then it magically also applied to the ubuntu config and just started magically working | 10:33 |
| boxmein | Marouane: e3372 here | 10:33 |

| geirha | Bluewolf: that "/Unix" looks out of place | 10:34 |
| Marouane | Boxmein : Ok, I will give it a try, thank you :) | 10:34 |
| geirha | though maybe start.exe requires it..? | 10:34 |
| geirha | Bluewolf: And I think \\\\ is one layer too many. The Exec line is NOT passed to a shell, so you shouldn't need to escape the backslashes twice | 10:35 |

| tlt | you'd rather make a script called warcraft or something that does all that wine stuff | 10:37 |
| tlt | and put that in your shortcut | 10:37 |

| MindSpark | can I safely remove them all if I am using a kernel that has a common name? | 10:38 |
| MonkeyDust | ren0v0 better ask in #lxcontainers | 10:41 |
| MonkeyDust | MindSpark tip: if you're working on that level, test it in a VM, first | 10:46 |

| ren0v0 | MonkeyDust, its an ubuntu project | 10:47 |

| MonkeyDust | ren0v0 i use lxc myself, lxd is the 'manager' for lxc | 10:48 |
| Bluewolf | geirha: Well the program works, and thats cliking directly on the .exe. Yet even when I change the path to: Exec= /home/User/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Warcraft III/Warcraft III.exe | 10:51 |
| Bluewolf | It sill does not work? | 10:51 |
| Marouane | boxmein : so sakis3g worked, but it seems that the same problem persists after finishing using it (not like for you, the problem was solved) :/ | 10:51 |
| geirha | Bluewolf: Yeah that's also wrong | 10:51 |
| === lahwran_ is now known as lahwran | ||

| === micalm_ is now known as micalm | ||
| tlt | Bluewolf, you'd have to put wine in front of /home/User/ | 10:53 |
| tlt | Exce= wine /home/User/ etc etc | 10:53 |
| cm13g09 | GAH, fixed my issue - dodgy patch port..... | 10:53 |
| Bluewolf | geirha: There was an error launching the application. | 10:54 |
| Bluewolf | It did create a shortcut upon installation, but I deleted it. Silly me. | 10:54 |
| Bluewolf | geirha: And like I say, the program runs...... | 10:54 |
| boxmein | Marouane: I have a weird workaround, you could just use sakis3g for the future with an autorun script when the modem is plugged in | 10:54 |
| tlt | Bluewolf, Exec = wine "/home/User|III.exe" | 10:55 |
| Bluewolf | With the .exe | 10:55 |
| boxmein | Marouane: but if that's crappy we can go the other route and try debugging the ubuntu stuff | 10:55 |
| tlt | Bluewolf, with the full path of course | 10:55 |
| CravateRouge | Hello, i search my video card but i found only "Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)" what's that mean? | 10:56 |
| geirha | Bluewolf: Install it again, then ;P | 10:56 |
| MonkeyDust | MindSpark yes, you can use a VM on your desktop | 10:56 |
| Marouane | boxmein : if you have some time, it would be my pleasure to make some debug (and learn on the process) | 10:57 |
| TijG | CravateRouge: what video card you think you have? it seems that the video card detected is the one inside your CPU | 10:57 |
| Bluewolf | tlt: one sec.... | 10:57 |
| MindSpark | MonkeyDust, yes, I think I might have not explained myself correctly. I am currently running out of space in the boot partition. So in order to upgrade to a new kernel, I need to remove/purge the old ones first | 10:57 |
| Bluewolf | tlt: There was an error launching the application. | 10:57 |
| MindSpark | I had a look at the installed packages and noticed there are some linux-signed-image packages, which I can't remember I've seen before | 10:58 |
| CravateRouge | TijG: i thought it was an intel HD4000 | 10:58 |
| MindSpark | so the question is, can these go too? or are they not related to what I am doing here? | 10:58 |
| Bluewolf | geirha: Ah thats the long way around, but yeah I guess so | 10:58 |
| tlt | as I said, make a script, Bluewolf , and test that it works first, then, make a shortcut that points to that script instead | 10:58 |
| === ejat_ is now known as ejat | ||
| tlt | Bluewolf, it's better to make shortcuts to things you know works, rather than a mess like that | 10:59 |
| Bluewolf | tlt: The reinstall is looking optimistic....... | 11:00 |
| Bluewolf | I'll give it all a go. Like I said, that mess has always worked before..... | 11:00 |
| Bluewolf | Thanks for the help\ | 11:00 |
| Bluewolf | geirha: And yours too :D | 11:01 |
| TijG | CravateRouge: the Intel HD4000 is a GPU inside your CPU, so that detection is correct | 11:02 |
| boxmein | Marouane: alrighty, I honestly have no idea how to fix this but let's see what I can figure out on the go :P | 11:03 |
| ren0v0 | MonkeyDust, not sure what you're explaining there i know what it is, i'm saying its being developed/funded by ubuntu team :) | 11:03 |
| tlt | wonder how the rest of those people's systems look | 11:03 |
| tlt | what a mess | 11:03 |
| ren0v0 | no? http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/lxd | 11:03 |
| Marouane | boxmein : Ok :D | 11:03 |
| ren0v0 | MonkeyDust, and if you use it, maybe you can give me a quick answer :) | 11:03 |
| CravateRouge | TijG: if i want to be sure it's the Intel HD4000 and not another card, what should I do? | 11:05 |
| boxmein | Marouane: hmm, can you try the advice in comment #7 here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1508718 | 11:06 |
| boxmein | Marouane: if it works, let's go post to the forum thread too, so we get a permanent record for this :D | 11:06 |
| MonkeyDust | ren0v0 no, i use lxc on a very basic level, guess you're even more skilled than i am | 11:06 |
| TijG | CravateRouge: what does the command "lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga" do? | 11:08 |
| ren0v0 | MonkeyDust, no not at all, i looked into LXD because i thought it would be easy to make images of containers etc | 11:08 |
| ren0v0 | is this easily possible with LXC on its own ? | 11:08 |
| CravateRouge | TijG: the same answer than the last | 11:09 |
| pp | hey there. is it possible to directly upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04? | 11:09 |
| TijG | CravateRouge: well.. I guess it's the correct one then :) | 11:09 |
| CravateRouge | TijG: ok thanks :) | 11:10 |
| MonkeyDust | ren0v0 my quick answer is: /j #lxcontainers | 11:11 |
| ren0v0 | MonkeyDust, thats not an answer, i hate people who do that | 11:13 |
| ren0v0 | why even reply to tell someone to go elsewhere :S | 11:13 |
| MonkeyDust | ren0v0 that's giving direction on where/how to find better support | 11:14 |
| MonkeyDust | it's a dedicated channel | 11:14 |

| ren0v0 | MonkeyDust, i'm already there, and as i said, LXD seems to be funded by ubuntu and this is more active | 11:15 |
| ren0v0 | thanks though | 11:15 |
| Warlock | Yeah | 11:15 |
| Warlock | #ubuntu channel | 11:16 |
| bazhang | Warlock, whats your support issue, if any | 11:16 |
| Marouane | boxmein : Didn't work, I will try to delete all configured connections, reboot a see | 11:16 |
| Warlock | None | 11:17 |
| Warlock | What are you talking about | 11:17 |
| bazhang | Warlock, this is ubuntu support as I said, for chit chat try #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:18 |
| Warlock | No I am just trying to get involved in whatever is going on | 11:19 |

| tansy | Hi.. I need help in renaming the block devices in ubuntu | 11:47 |
| tansy | 14.04 | 11:47 |
| tansy | i wrote a udev rule | 11:47 |
| tansy | ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{size}=="2118123520", KERNEL=="sd*" NAME="sda" | 11:47 |
| tansy | but its not working | 11:48 |
| tansy | can anyone suggest ? | 11:48 |
| Shady | hey there | 11:49 |
| Shady | anyone can help with Kdenlive 15.12? | 11:49 |
| MonkeyDust | Shady ask, don't ask to ask | 11:50 |
| tansy | Hi ubuntu experts.. | 11:50 |
| tansy | anyone on udev rules.. | 11:50 |
| tansy | is it possible to name /dev/sd* as per my rules ? | 11:51 |
| cfhowlett | Shady, kdenlive has its own support. | 11:51 |
| Shady | MonkeyDust, looking for the kdenlive 15.12 package for ubuntu 15.10 | 11:51 |
| MonkeyDust | !info kdenlive | 11:51 |
| clobrano | tansy: I guess that might create a conflict in names | 11:52 |
| Shady | cfhowlett, the support on the website is not updated to the new release | 11:52 |
| cfhowlett | !newest | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett | !latest | 11:53 |
| bazhang | bot is mia | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett | so I see. | 11:53 |
| clobrano | tansy: if /dev/sda is already used | 11:53 |
| MonkeyDust | !mia | 11:53 |
| cfhowlett | Shady, it takes time for packages to be integrated into the repos. be patient or compile from source | 11:53 |
| tansy | Hi clobrano... i have 16 disks attached to system and on 1 of disk i have OS installed .. i need to name them consistently/. | 11:54 |
| === cpaelzer is now known as cpaelzer_afk | ||
| tansy | after reboot they should be consistent// | 11:54 |
| Encrypt_ | Hello there o/ | 11:54 |
| Encrypt_ | I have a big problem with my computer | 11:54 |
| tansy | but sometimes after reboot the disk names are not consistent. | 11:54 |
| clobrano | tansy: attached how? USB? | 11:54 |
| Encrypt_ | I installed the updates yesterday, this morning it booted | 11:54 |
| tansy | no physical disks attached to server.. | 11:55 |
| * purno slaps purno around a bit with a large fishbot | 11:55 | |
| Encrypt_ | But now, I'm unable to launch the X session | 11:55 |
| Encrypt_ | I also don't have the network | 11:55 |
| Shady | cfhowlett, thanks, any recommendation app to compile from the source? | 11:55 |
| Encrypt_ | When I tried to startx, it showed: "xinit is not installed, try running apt-get install xinit" | 11:55 |
| Encrypt_ | But xinit is actually installed, because trying to install it made apt say: "xinit is already up-to-date" | 11:56 |
| clobrano | tansy: well, you could use other names in place of sd* | 11:56 |
| tansy | clobrano : and how can i do that ? | 11:57 |
| clobrano | tansy: but if the target is to mount all of them in the proper order, fstab configuration might be what you need to look for | 11:57 |
| tansy | clobrano: no mounting is not the issue.. | 11:57 |
| MonkeyDust | tansy start with a pastebin of sudo blkid | 11:57 |
| tansy | i need the raw disk names to be consistent | 11:57 |
| tansy | MonkeyDust.. blkid is only for filesystems or lvols.. not physical attached raw disks | 11:58 |
| sudomarize | How can i "export PATH=/cwd:"{$PATH}"? | 11:59 |
| sudomarize | where cwd is the current directory | 11:59 |
| clobrano | tansy: the udev rule you copied before tries to change all entries to /dev/sda, which is wrong. At this link http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html you could check composition rules to create a proper name for each of your disk | 11:59 |
| tansy | clobrano.. i checked this link .. | 12:00 |
| tansy | the rule i wrote | 12:00 |
| tansy | ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{size}=="2118123520", KERNEL=="sd*" NAME="sda" | 12:00 |
| tansy | the size of this disk is more as compared to other 14 attached disks.. | 12:00 |
| tansy | on which my OS is installed.. | 12:00 |
| tansy | so it should distinguish the disk | 12:00 |
| tansy | if i use symlink in this line it works.. | 12:01 |
| tansy | but the name="sda" is not working | 12:01 |
| * predictor slaps predictor around a bit with a large fishbot | 12:01 | |
| === cpaelzer_afk is now known as cpaelzer | ||
| clobrano | tansy: because sda is a fixed name, already used for other system disks | 12:01 |
| sudomarize | anyone? | 12:01 |
| MonkeyDust | predictor stop your bot | 12:01 |
| predictor | no bot here | 12:02 |
| tansy | clobrano.. if i try to use some unused name also.. like disk1 .. it is not woring. | 12:02 |
| predictor | I am just trying to use irsii with sasl and it doesn't work on irc.freenode.net | 12:03 |
| predictor | anyone with irsii+sasl experience around here? | 12:03 |
| tansy | clobrano.. is there any way i ensure my naming is done before kernel naming of disks.. ?? | 12:04 |
| Shady | Shady | 12:04 |
| clobrano | tansy: could you please better explain the issue? I didn't get what is not working | 12:04 |
| Shady | how to compile from source? | 12:04 |
| clobrano | tansy: no, first is the kernel, then udev | 12:04 |
| predictor | this works: connect -ssl irc.rizon.net 9999 | 12:04 |
| lotuspsychje | predictor: ask in #irssi please | 12:04 |
| MonkeyDust | or even in #freenode | 12:05 |
| tansy | clobrano.. i have 15 disks attached on system and they got their names from /dev/sda to /dev/sdo.. but sometimes after reboot they shuffle and start pointing to another disk.. | 12:05 |
| tansy | e.g earlier /dev/sde was the one on which my OS was installed.. but after reboot /dev/sdg start poingint to OS disk. | 12:06 |
| tansy | how can i stop this thing ? | 12:06 |
| MonkeyDust | predictor scroll down http://freenode.net/sasl/ | 12:07 |
| clobrano | tansy: ok, I think I got it, and this is weird | 12:07 |
| safe_ | How do I automatically mount an external ntfs usb hdd? | 12:08 |
| MonkeyDust | safe_ in /etc/fstab | 12:08 |
| clobrano | tansy: have you tried configuring fstab? Basically you do not need that the dev names are always the same, but that the mount points are always the same for each disk | 12:08 |
| tlt | tansy, mount and manage the disks by their UUIDs | 12:09 |
| tlt | then you're free of such problems. | 12:09 |
| * clobrano thinks tlt is right | 12:09 | |
| tlt | just make sure to keep them unique | 12:09 |
| tansy | clobrano.. the requirement is quite different here.. i wont be usinf fstab to mount these disks.. i would be creating a cluster of storage disks from these ones... | 12:09 |
| tansy | i am not MOUNTING here guys | 12:10 |
| tlt | which is easy as long as you don't explicitly double UUIDs, really | 12:10 |
| tansy | so UUID wont be present | 12:10 |
| tansy | i need to create ceph storage cluster from the raw disks.. | 12:10 |
| tlt | but they still have UUIDs when unmounted? tansy | 12:10 |
| tansy | so disk name consistency is needed .. by any means | 12:11 |
| tansy | no.. tlt | 12:11 |
| tansy | UUIDs are only for mounted partitions or lvols.. | 12:11 |
| mrsam_ | hi...what is the LVM? | 12:11 |

| Encrypt_ | Hello again! | 13:10 |
| Encrypt_ | I ahve a problem with my Uubntu computer | 13:10 |
| Encrypt_ | Wow, typign too fast (<.<) | 13:10 |
| Encrypt_ | So, the X server doesn't start, running startx does nothing (it mentions to install xinit) | 13:11 |
| IIT | w9qbj, EriC^^ lotuspsychje this is the exact error i am getting while installing " your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can inset it and try again. | 13:11 |
| Encrypt_ | xinit IS installed however | 13:11 |
| Encrypt_ | Trying to reinstall it makes apt show that the latest update is already installed | 13:12 |

| Encrypt_ | After I had a look at the logs, apparently libxshmfence.so.1 is missing | 13:12 |
| IIT | ioria, yes exacly same thing happening with me.. | 13:12 |
| Encrypt_ | So, I guess it's a library problem | 13:13 |
| k1l | Encrypt_: what ubuntu is it exactly? what desktop? what errormessages do you get when booting? where does booting stop? | 13:13 |
| ioria | IIT i see | 13:13 |
| Encrypt_ | I clearly have no idea why that suddenly got removed | 13:13 |
| k1l | Encrypt_: what did you do before that problem came up | 13:13 |
| Encrypt_ | k1l: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS | 13:13 |
| Encrypt_ | Desktop: Unity | 13:13 |
| ioria | IIT have you tried with a cd ? | 13:13 |
| Encrypt_ | k1l: I purged linphone | 13:13 |
| Encrypt_ | And installed ayte-client | 13:13 |
| Encrypt_ | yate-client* from a PPA | 13:14 |
| Encrypt_ | Installing yate-client worked but when I tried to purge linphone, it failed, saying that the volume was read-only | 13:14 |
| silidan1 | ntz_: but it only reports scsi controller number, is that the same as sata port? | 13:14 |
| Encrypt_ | dpkg got interrupted and I had to run it with the option -a if I remember correctly to fix it | 13:14 |
| Encrypt_ | k1l: Here is the yate I installed: https://launchpad.net/~sico/+archive/ubuntu/yate | 13:15 |
| Encrypt_ | k1l: Should I try to manually copy libxshmfence.so.1 from my liveUSB? | 13:16 |
| k1l | Encrypt_: see in the /var/log/apt/history logs what got removed and in the term logs what errors were produced then | 13:18 |
| ntz_ | silidan1: http://susepaste.org/view/raw/77112273 | 13:18 |
| Encrypt_ | Ok | 13:18 |
| ntz_ | ^^ check it ... sda & sdb here are pure scsi, sdc and sdd are sata | 13:18 |
| silidan1 | ntz_: yes this is the output, but im getting an error with ata5: blabla , and id like to know which device is connected to ata5 ? | 13:19 |
| Encrypt_ | k1l: I had a look | 13:21 |
| Encrypt_ | There is nothing worth in it | 13:21 |
| Encrypt_ | The real problem, I guess, is my filesystem goign read-only | 13:21 |
| k1l | see dmesg what is happening there | 13:21 |

| virtuaposta | naftilos76, also "backup" before you go | 15:44 |
| naftilos76 | virtuaposta, i do not mind if the entire data is lost. I am experimenting. Can shrinking be done on the fly? | 15:46 |
| naftilos76 | LVM is supposed to do all these things while lvs are mounted | 15:47 |
| nicomachus | naftilos76: what do you mean by "on the fly"? | 15:47 |
| naftilos76 | while mounted | 15:48 |
| nicomachus | no. you cannot resize any partitions while they are mounted. | 15:48 |
| nicomachus | you will need to use a live USB | 15:48 |
| virtuaposta | naftilos76, for shrinking you need to unmount it, you can extend on fly but cant shrink | 15:48 |
| naftilos76 | i can see many links suggesting that you can extend | 15:48 |
| naftilos76 | ok then we are seeing the same thing. Shrinking needs unmounting. | 15:49 |

| IIT | virtuaposta, yeah searching askubuntu but not many answer are visible.. | 15:53 |
| IIT | while installing it ask's me to select the kernel of my choice and i have no idea which one to select.. | 15:53 |
| virtuaposta | go for generic if its for personal usages as that will take care of most of the stuffs | 15:54 |
| IIT | it's for home server | 15:54 |

| mbeierl | Running Ubuntu Studio 14.04.3. I have wifi problem where about every 20 seconds, ping to router climbs to over 500ms, then returns to ~1 ms after 5 seconds. This happens with two different wifi adapters that I have tried, and is unique to the Ubuntu installation. Nothing in dmesg or syslog at the time. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? | 16:33 |
| ambijat | hi there | 16:34 |
| userfw | Hi | 16:34 |
| mbeierl | Actually, one more piece of info: irq/17-ehci_hcd climbs in CPU usage at the time of delays. | 16:34 |
| ambijat | I had been conservative fan of Fedora, first time using Ubuntu | 16:35 |
| userfw | Do you like unity desktop? | 16:35 |
| ambijat | seems cool | 16:35 |
| ambijat | but I used to push harder with some tricks in fedora that seem to be lacking here | 16:36 |
| h1tl3r | hello all | 16:36 |
| k1l | ambijat: what is the exact issue? | 16:37 |
| bodom | mbeierl: you could try playing with iwconfig settings, i would start by setting up a fixed reasonably low rate (like 11M), fixed max twpower. If that does not work, then sens/retry may do, but trying to tune them usually just worsens your problem. Any mistake will be washed by a reboot (or by NetworkManager, so maybe you want to stop it before starting tests). | 16:38 |
| ambijat | nothing great, but I would love xfce arrangment of things sometimes | 16:38 |
| k1l | ambijat: ubuntu ships xfce. you can use that | 16:39 |
| ambijat | well I would do yum install @xfce | 16:39 |
| ambijat | how to do that in command line in ubuntu | 16:40 |
| k1l | ambijat: ubuntu doesnt use yum or .rpm. it uses .deb and "apt". | 16:40 |
| mbeierl | bodom: k, thanks. Will look at iwconfig | 16:40 |
| ambijat | what would be the full command then | 16:40 |
| k1l | ambijat: "sudo apt install xfce" or "sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop" for the whole xubunut package will all standard apps | 16:40 |
| k1l | !apt | ambijat | 16:40 |
| ubottu | ambijat: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) | 16:40 |
| addiks | hi, is there an easy way to go back to firefox-42? (14.04 here) | 16:41 |
| ambijat | one more thing | 16:41 |
| k1l | addiks: there is no going back since it lacks the security updates. | 16:41 |
| ambijat | what about fusion free non-free are there any equivalent repo | 16:41 |
| === cpaelzer_ is now known as cpaelzer_afk | ||
| k1l | ambijat: ubuntu doesnt seperate free and nonfree. what do you expect in fusion repo? | 16:42 |
| bodom | mbeierl: also have a look at the router's settings, if you can, and try replacing "auto" settings with reasonable manual ones (write down the old values of the ones you change). | 16:42 |
| mbeierl | bodom: thing is, no other wifi connection has this problem. Macbooks and iDevices all seem good | 16:43 |
| mbeierl | bodom: I have played with the router's settings a lot already. | 16:43 |
| k1l | ambijat: there is the partner repo for software not allowed to be shipped in regular repos. | 16:44 |
| k1l | !partner | 16:44 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 16:44 |
| bodom | mbeierl: mhhh... let's assume router is ok then. Which chipset is your current wifi adapter and which chipset was the other one giving you the same problem? | 16:44 |
| k1l | ambijat: but drivers from nvidia and such are shipped in regular repos already | 16:45 |
| ambijat | ok thanks I shall check it | 16:45 |
| mbeierl | bodom: both on UbuntuStudio show the same problem. Here is the one I am currently using: NetGear, Inc. WNA1100 Wireless-N 150 [Atheros AR9271] | 16:46 |
| bodom | ambijat: if you install xubuntu-desktop, at first login I suggest you to choose "xubuntu" instead of "xfce" for your session: it wlll give you a better default desktop. For next logins you can choose any. it no longer matters. | 16:46 |
| ambijat | ok, is there is some compromise in user experience between ubuntu nd xubuntu | 16:48 |
| mbeierl | bodom: random thought here. This is the lowlatency kernel. Going to give the generic a shot for a quick test. Be back in 5 minutes. | 16:49 |
| k1l | ambijat: some compromise? choose what you like. there is no one limiting your experience just for fun. everybode got a differen taste and usecase. so use what you like | 16:50 |
| ambijat | sure indeed | 16:51 |
| bodom | mbeierl: most common brands often share the same chipsets. There seem to be no known issues with the one you are using, but better check the old one wasn't built with the same chipset: it could just be a compatibility problem. | 16:52 |

| Eising | BluesKaj: autoclean? | 17:08 |
| daftykins | Eising: no solutions beyond having a sensibly sized /boot to begin with, or not having a separate /boot at all imo | 17:08 |
| Eising | daftykins: yeah, somehow I apparently forgot to think when I was setting up this system | 17:08 |
| zykotick9 | BluesKaj: ahh, are you sure autoclean/autoremove would even touch the kernels? | 17:09 |
| BluesKaj | a separate / and /home is alll that's needed nowadays | 17:09 |
| Eising | zykotick9: autoremove does. I can confirm | 17:09 |
| daftykins | Eising: it's definitely a serious problem though, i see it very regularly in here | 17:09 |
| Eising | daftykins: yeah, it's not the first time I've run in to it either | 17:09 |
| BluesKaj | zykotick9, it does for me | 17:09 |
| daftykins | zykotick9: seems to only be from 14.04 for autoremove | 17:09 |
| zykotick9 | daftykins: interesting. | 17:10 |
| Eising | so a cronjob with apt-get -f autoremove && apt-get -f autoclean? | 17:10 |
| BluesKaj | no -f needed | 17:10 |
| nicomachus | there is an odd bug where apparently upgrading the system results in existing kernels in /boot being marked as manually installed, so autoremove doesn't catch them. | 17:10 |
| Eising | err -y | 17:10 |

| nicomachus | ....what do you mean it doesn't use the standard clipboard, transhuman? | 18:12 |
| transhuman | nicomachus, I copy paste into clipboard and it doesnt update into crontab I think it must not use clipboard but must have some keysequence for accessing clipboard | 18:18 |
| transhuman | I just dont know what key sequence that is | 18:19 |
| nicomachus | transhuman: crontab -e opens up a text editor, either ed, nano, or vim. it usually asks you which one to use. which did you select? | 18:21 |

| akik | EDITOR is used to change the crontab editor | 18:35 |
| akik | transhuman: there's is no automatic paste into "crontab -e". it just opens your crontab in and editor. just paste text as you would normally | 18:35 |
| w9qbj | akik, EDITOR or VISUAL, are two of the places, but I don't have them in ENV or SET. Mine works so I don't have to worry about it any more. | 18:36 |

| cristian_c | has anyone answered to me? | 19:40 |
| PETSounds | what i did here is connecting the laptop to a TV, but really watching 4K video quickly drains the battery. I suppose something like Hardware Acceleration will ease the CPU task. Is it possible that i don't have HW rendering enabled? | 19:40 |
| PETSounds | I tried with Windows that comes preinstalled with the laptop, and it only took 30%-35% of CPU power. | 19:41 |

| cristian_c | nicomachus: ok, but , as seen before, ls -l does not show 'directory space usage' | 20:19 |
| lotuspsychje | PETSounds: wich driver and ubuntu version si this | 20:19 |
| cristian_c | to compare | 20:19 |
| akik | nicolas_: you said that files you put into /home don't end up in sda6 but your lsblk shows the big partition mounted at /home | 20:19 |
| nicomachus | don't need space usage, cristian_c, just wondering if the same files are in both somehow. | 20:19 |
| nicolas_ | Yes, that is what I'm asking about | 20:20 |
| cristian_c | it's not possible (same files in both partition), unless they are copies | 20:20 |
| PETSounds | lotuspsychje: i have the latest driver installed from https://01.org/linuxgraphics and i am on Kubuntu WIly | 20:20 |

| daftykins | PETSounds: look it up! | 20:21 |

| daftykins | lotuspsychje: it'll be even worse, skylake is too new :) | 20:21 |

| Reventlov | it's not my computer, so I lost the physical access to it, but this is like 95% uefi | 20:23 |
| lotuspsychje | Reventlov: how have you fixxed? | 20:23 |
| Reventlov | well, not fixed. The only solution would be the uefi downgrade. | 20:23 |

| safe_ | Can someone help me with automatically mounting external usb hdd at boot? I googled the man for mount but I still haven't quite figured it out. | 22:06 |
| EriC^^ | Turion: do you have a live usb? | 22:06 |
| Turion | EriC^^, yes | 22:06 |
| daftykins | safe_: is it always going to be in? | 22:07 |
| Turion | So if I start /init, it says /dev/sda1 does not exist etc | 22:07 |
| EriC^^ | Turion: try booting the live usb | 22:07 |

| Turion | akik, Bashing-om, yes, I did, I ended up with the busybox again | 22:08 |
| EriC^^ | safe_: i use gvfs-mount in the startup apps so it mounts just like you press on it in the file manager | 22:08 |
| daftykins | safe_: ah. use "sudo blkid" to identify the UUID for the partition, then create an entry for it in /etc/fstab | 22:08 |
| nvt_ | maybe I lost some date information from the files, but maybe thats all | 22:08 |
| boichev | hello what will happen if I have an LVM snapshot that run out of space to hold more changes, but it is mounted ? | 22:08 |
| cristian_c | MonkeyDust: my initial question was about dmesg and syslog files deactivation | 22:08 |
| safe_ | EriC^^: Do I have to use it in system boot or can I use it as startup applications? | 22:09 |
| cristian_c | MonkeyDust: syslog issue seems solved by trick described above | 22:09 |

| threeminutemonta | Hi guys. I have this issue again with LTS 14.04 The upgrade needs a total of 80.9 M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 14.7 M of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.... I tried the suggestions though still don't work. | 22:29 |
| nicomachus | threeminutemonta: go to a terminal and "sudo apt-get autoremove" | 22:34 |

| Turion | EriC^^, do we have any other options besides a live stick? | 22:37 |
| EriC^^ | Turion: yeah | 22:39 |
| EriC^^ | btw do you have an iso on the ubuntu install itself? | 22:39 |
| Bashing-om | Turion: I am still in favor of attempting to boot from grub, We can do this IF grub.cfg is consistent . What returns ' ls (hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg ' ? | 22:39 |
| EriC^^ | you could try booting that from grub | 22:39 |
| Turion | EriC^^, I do, it's just that somehow my live sticks from that iso turn out unbootable | 22:40 |
| Turion | and I only have a 1GB one, so I have to use the 13.10 iso | 22:40 |
| nicomachus | eek | 22:41 |
| nicomachus | Turion: AFAIK the full Lubuntu 14.04 iso is still < 1gb | 22:41 |
| Turion | nicomachus, ah, maybe I'll try that (I always get "Missing operating system" from the BIOS) | 22:42 |
| ThiefMaster | hi, how can i find out the DHCPv6 DUID on ubuntu server? | 22:42 |
| Turion | Bashing-om, that file exists | 22:44 |
| TheWarlord | hey | 22:45 |
| Turion | Bashing-om, the contents are all the standard one, one boot entry, one recovery mode, two memory tests | 22:46 |
| Turion | So the problem occurred after there was some kind of grub update, and I interrupted it and restarted | 22:48 |
| Turion | Eric^^, ah, now I understand what you meant, I unfortunately don't have that | 22:51 |
| aotea | When installing stuff with Wine, do I need to run the command sudo? | 22:51 |
| MWM | badblocks shows no output. can I take this to mean there are no bad blocks? | 22:51 |
| nicomachus | aotea: no... Wine doesn't quite work that way. | 22:51 |
| nicomachus | aotea: see this page, and try to familiarize yourself a bit with wine and how it works: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine | 22:52 |
| Turion | EriC^^, Bashing-om, Would it help to remove the disc with the nonbooting linux from the laptop and insert it elsewhere as a USB disk | 22:52 |
| MWM | the reading I have done suggests that there should be some sort of output | 22:52 |
| aotea | nicomachus, been trying this installer and it just keeps on freezing up. And no idea what might be the issue | 22:54 |

| Bashing-om | Turion: We should be able to tell grub where the files are, so grub can tell the kernel where it's files are . We should be able to boot the system from grub and then repair grub.

| Turion | Bashing-om, as before it says "Gave up waiting for root device" | 22:58 |
| Turion | also "udevadm settle is not permittet while udev is unconfigured" | 22:58 |
| Turion | and last but not least "ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" | 22:59 |
| Turion | As if neither the kernel or the initramfs have the drivers or modules or whatevers to make /dev/sda1 visible | 22:59 |
| EriC^^ | Turion: you there i got dc | 23:00 |
| Turion | EriC^^, sorry I didn't understand | 23:01 |
| EriC^^ | Turion: i got disconnected | 23:01 |
| Turion | EriC^^, I see :) welcome back | 23:01 |
| EriC^^ | thanks :) | 23:01 |
| EriC^^ | did you boot up and reach grub? | 23:01 |
| Turion | EriC^^, when I boot I always get back to the BusyBox | 23:02 |
| Bashing-om | Turion: :( ... not making a lot of sense yet .. as grub can tell us where that root device is - (hd0,msdos1) .. unless I misunderstand somewhere something . ' ls (hd0,msdos1)/ ; ls (hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg ' gives positive returns, no ? | 23:02 |
| Turion | Bashing-om, yes grub.cfg exists and looks exactly like what I see from the boot manager | 23:03 |
| EriC^^ | Turion: try booting into an older kernel | 23:03 |
| EriC^^ | go to advanced in grub, then an older kernel | 23:03 |
| Turion | EriC^^, the only ones I have are /vmlinuz and /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24 | 23:04 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Turion Excellent idea to boot an older kernel ! | 23:04 |
| EriC^^ | Turion: ok, try recovery mode maybe | 23:05 |
| Turion | EriC^^, yes, I tried already | 23:05 |
| EriC^^ | ok, try going to grub, press c | 23:06 |
| Turion | yes | 23:06 |
| EriC^^ | then set root='(hd0,msdos1)' | 23:06 |
| EriC^^ | then type ls -l | 23:06 |
| EriC^^ | then type cat /etc/fstab and check if the uuid= matches the uuid from hd0,msdos1 | 23:06 |
| EriC^^ | just to cover the basics here | 23:06 |
| Turion | EriC^^, aha /etc/fstab doesn't contain any uuids | 23:07 |
| EriC^^ | what's it contain | 23:07 |
| Turion | second line is "LABEL=ROOT / ext4 defaults 0 1" | 23:08 |

| EriC^^ | Turion: i got dc again | 23:18 |
| EriC^^ | any luck? | 23:18 |
| daftykins | ThiefMaster: ;) | 23:19 |
| daftykins | relying on DHCP to provide static always struck me as insane | 23:19 |
| ThiefMaster | daftykins: why? that way i can configure all ips for my network in a single place | 23:19 |
| Turion | EriC^^, not really :/ but the labels of fstab match those on the disks, so that shouldn't be the problem I hope | 23:20 |
| daftykins | best i don't enter into that topic :) | 23:20 |
| EriC^^ | Turion: yeah | 23:20 |
| ThiefMaster | it's so easy on gentoo.. dhcpcd generates the duid, writes it to a file and then uses that duid for the future. apparently dhclient also has an option to specify a separate file for the duid, but so far i couldn't find an option to specify additional commandline args | 23:20 |
| daftykins | ThiefMaster: though rather than an exclamation, you really ought to link to a problem description, with config examples and output of what happens | 23:20 |
| ThiefMaster | well, basically i'm trying to figure out which DUID is used for dhcpv6 requests *or* where to set a static one | 23:21 |
| Turion | EriC^^, maybe the problem was that I tried to update a Mint system with apt-get in the first place...? | 23:21 |
| BlackFate | ThiefMaster, have you checked under /etc/default/...? usually apps have their configs there | 23:22 |
| EriC^^ | Turion: no, mint uses apt-get as well | 23:22 |
| daftykins | but is still off topic in this channel i'm afraid. | 23:22 |

| EriC^^ | it should show the last msgs of the terminal | 23:22 |
| ThiefMaster | daftykins: why? it's about the network config system of ubuntu | 23:22 |
| EriC^^ | * /var/log/apt/term.log | 23:23 |
| ThiefMaster | BlackFate: /etc/default/networking doesn't seem to have anything related to it | 23:23 |
