| Sebastien | How would i "sudo" with WinSCP? for file transfer from my pc to my account | 00:32 |
| Sebastien | ---> http://i.imgur.com/KJfKLMZ.png | 00:32 |
| nicomachus | Sebastien: for GUI programs, use "gksu" | 00:35 |
| Sebastien | nicomachus, this still does not tell me how to do it... | 00:36 |
| nicomachus | Sebastien: open WinSCP from a terminal by typing "gksu winscp", or however else you would open it. | 00:36 |
| Sebastien | nicomachus, i double click on the winscp icon on my desktop... | 00:37 |
| nicomachus | Sebastien: well you're going to have to open it from a terminal. | 00:37 |
| Sebastien | nicomachus, you can't do this on windows | 00:38 |
| nicomachus | Sebastien: if you're on windows why are you asking in #ubuntu? | 00:38 |
| Sebastien | i think i forgot to say that. My pc is running windows. but winscp is used to connect to mu ubuntu box | 00:38 |
| nicomachus | that's a pretty crucial bit to forget | 00:38 |
| Sebastien | i know im on ubuntu and not windows lol. i just know that a lot of people in here do use programs like winscp | 00:39 |
| Sebastien | i suggest it in here all the time | 00:39 |
| nicomachus | well it's not supported here. perhaps ##windows can help you get the permissions right. | 00:39 |
| Sebastien | the permission issue happens on the server itself | 00:40 |
| Sebastien | not on my os | 00:40 |
| Sebastien | this is why im here | 00:40 |
| slidinghorn | aaaaaaaaaaaassws: fix your connection... | 00:45 |
| bet0x | well | 01:00 |

| DaveHyral | Sell me on Ubuntu. I refuse to cave to Microsoft's demands of upgrading to 10. | 01:12 |
| bet0x | DaveHyral, i did go back to windows | 01:12 |
| TrivialGravitas | Dave: Why not just try it? You can install it to a USB drive. | 01:12 |
| ObrienDave | 1700 people here to convince you. need i say more? | 01:12 |
| bet0x | DaveHyral, kinda complicated when you have no support and my drivers and stuff works better :P | 01:13 |
| * bet0x is happy with windows on desktop | 01:13 | |
| DaveHyral | if that was sarcasm, I didn't get it. | 01:13 |
| ObrienDave | don't pay attention to the nay-sayer | 01:13 |
| bet0x | I fight 2 weeks triying to get a USB dongle working on All ubuntu variants, no success | 01:13 |
| bet0x | plugged it on Windows 10 and worked | 01:14 |
| ObrienDave | trolls + alcohol = bad manners | 01:14 |
| rww | If you want to try Ubuntu, stick it on a USB stick and try it. If you need Ubuntu support, ask here. Non-support stuff goes elsewhere, e.g. #ubuntu-offtopic. | 01:14 |
| DaveHyral | I've only got a handful of beefs with Ubuntu, that being the lack of Video Game Music for Foobar, and from what I keep hearing a dreadful lack of native support for most PC games without the use of WINE. | 01:14 |
| bet0x | ObrienDave, not trolling, o do use ubuntu on Servers | 01:14 |
| DaveHyral | ..dammit i meant to say Video Game Music -Plugins-, ala Winamp | 01:15 |
| ObrienDave | DaveHyral, it's Linux, NOT windoze | 01:15 |
| bet0x | DaveHyral, you have a lot of options for that, the part wich i hate is the "wine" stuff. | 01:15 |
| bet0x | DaveHyral, using emulators, the driver support etcetera. | 01:16 |
| DaveHyral | also could you point me in the direction of the nearest relatively active channel that isn't tech-specific? | 01:16 |
| ObrienDave | best bet is install VirtualBox then install windows in a VM | 01:16 |

| SoLux | thanks | 01:32 |
| nicomachus | this channel is ubuntu support only. | 01:32 |
| ArneSE | ObrienDave, Thanks! I've been using unetbooting but someone said "eew" about it *shrug* | 01:32 |
| ObrienDave | ArneSE, you always get both sides. depends on your experiences. both have worked for me | 01:33 |
| ObrienDave | and there's YUMI as well | 01:34 |
| ArneSE | I'm hoping to install UbuntuMate (or possibly DebianMate) on an old WinXP ASUS eeePC1000HE, couldn't figure out the name of what I had used earlier! It was unetbootin. | 01:35 |
| ObrienDave | i've had much better luck burning ISO to DVD | 01:36 |
| ArneSE | I have an ancient version of unetbootin, but I hope it still finds up to date versions. | 01:37 |
| nicomachus | will a USB not work? | 01:38 |
| ArneSE | unetbooting has been great for me | 01:38 |
| ArneSE | -g | 01:38 |
| ObrienDave | nicomachus, only if the old system supports booting from USB | 01:39 |
| ArneSE | I have another question: Can I replace..."unity" with "mate" without risking everything? | 01:39 |
| nicomachus | Yea I was looking at the specs a second ago. | 01:39 |
| nicomachus | ArneSE: there's a MATE .iso | 01:40 |
| ObrienDave | ArneSE, yes, you can install the MATE desktop | 01:40 |
| ArneSE | that's good for my other machine, but I'm asking for this one which is ubuntu 14.something | 01:41 |
| nicomachus | no disc drive on it, ArneSE? | 01:41 |
| ObrienDave | ArneSE, i'm on Xubuntu 14.04 | 01:41 |
| ArneSE | The ASUS eeePC has only USB 2.0 drives. This one is a HP with a disc drive, and "regular" Ubuntu | 01:42 |
| nicomachus | looks like that ASUS *can* boot a USB. | 01:42 |
| ObrienDave | it's a BIOS setting | 01:43 |
| ArneSE | A lot of people have installed AROS on the old eeePCs but that's another story. Should be able to run live(?) USBs | 01:43 |
| nicomachus | yes it should be able to. | 01:43 |
| ArneSE | I'm hoping that I can pull out the HDD, pop in a SSD, boot from USB, install, then access WinXP files/programs from Ubuntu using Wine | 01:45 |
| nicomachus | You won't access them using Wine, but you can mount Windows filesystem with Nautilus. | 01:45 |
| ObrienDave | sounds possible. don't know if the SSD signature will work under that BIOS | 01:46 |
| Guy1524 | hey guys how do I perform audio loopback. I want to play a mp3 through my microphone | 01:48 |
| Guy1524 | it would be nice if I could play it in a loop | 01:49 |
| nicomachus | you want to play an mp3 through your microphone? | 01:49 |
| ObrienDave | that makes no sense | 01:50 |
| ObrienDave | most likely destroy the mic element | 01:50 |
| ArneSE | make a 1 song playlist in Rhythmbox? | 01:51 |
| Guy1524 | ya | 01:51 |
| Guy1524 | sorry I had to go for a second, I want to play audio through my microphone because I want to run around in an online game playing the barbie girl song | 01:52 |
| tambu_ | I need someone to laugh at me and mock my stupidity.. I just formated my harddisk instead of my USB disk lost my /home and /opt directory. Ubuntu won't boot properly.. | 01:54 |
| nicomachus | hoped you had that backed up | 01:54 |
| ObrienDave | ROFLMAO pointing fingers at tambu_ | 01:54 |
| nicomachus | hope* | 01:54 |
| Guy1524 | ): that sucks | 01:54 |
| Bashing-om | tambu_: Nope, happens, Why we have backups . | 01:54 |
| tambu_ | its a new machine.. I hadn't gotten to the point of backing up yet.. nothing too critical lost just like 4-5 hours work.. | 01:55 |
| nicomachus | worth a complete re-install, I'd say. | 01:55 |
| Guy1524 | this video may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddrPnuvFV6E | 01:55 |
| tambu_ | So question.. when I built this machine yesterday.. I wasn't sure if I should create a SWAP file or not.. its a 16 GB server, and both drives are SSD.. it seems there is a lot of internet stuff saying it's not required.. I figure since I'm gonna rebuild maybe I'd ask here for input? | 01:56 |
| ObrienDave | swap not needed for 8GB or more | 01:56 |
| tambu_ | Guy1524 thx.. no worries though nothing I haven't lost.. I was just so near "finished" building it :P | 01:56 |
| tambu_ | ObrienDave so no performance benefit to having one? Though normally you wanted at least as much SWAP as Memory.. in the past. | 01:57 |
| tambu_ | stupid question.. if I did a fdisk delete partitions and mkfs.exfat /dev/sdb .. is there any chance to do a ddrescue or something? | 01:58 |
| ObrienDave | you do if you have less than 8GB | 01:58 |
| tambu_ | ObrienDavea: ok thanks :) | 01:58 |
| ArneSE | More questions: I bought a small SSD (120GB) to replace mechanical (320GB, 10% used) in this Laptop (Ubuntu 14.04). I... don't know how to go about it. On a mac I'd use time machine or the clone tool. | 01:58 |

| jeevan_ | hello | 04:41 |
| jeevan_ | anyone free | 04:41 |
| cfhowlett | !ask | jeevan_ | 04:41 |
| ubottu | jeevan_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 04:41 |
| jeevan_ | ok | 04:42 |
| jeevan_ | im upgrading openssl from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2e im getting make errors while compiling, make [1] gcc command not found, im unable to complete installation of openssl | 04:43 |
| markovh | jeevan_: sudo apt-get install gcc | 04:44 |
| rww | 1) install build-essential package, 2) why are you doing that? | 04:44 |
| rww | Ubuntu backports security fixes, if that's the concern | 04:44 |
| jeevan_ | gcc is already there in ubuntu gcc-4.6.3-base | 04:44 |
| rww | gcc base is not the same as gcc | 04:44 |
| rww | the build-essential metapackage will grab everything you need to compile stuff. | 04:45 |
| RNeville | what is the difference between gcc and g++, pls | 04:45 |
| Ben64 | why compiling openssl?? | 04:45 |
| jeevan_ | my superior asked me to upgrade openssl | 04:45 |
| rww | RNeville: g++ is the C++ compiler in the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) | 04:45 |
| rww | jeevan_: why? | 04:45 |
| markovh | RNeville: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/172587/what-is-the-difference-between-g-and-gcc google knows | 04:46 |
| jeevan_ | present OS :ubuntu 12.0.4 has openssl 1.0.1 | 04:46 |
| rww | again, if he's concerned about security issues, ubuntu backports fixes for them so he shouldn't be | 04:46 |
| rww | (and I can't think of another reason one would want to) | 04:46 |
| Ben64 | rww: trying to find a new cool way to break your system? | 04:46 |
| boo7 | how can i open the "task meneger" if i dont have f[x] keys? | 04:46 |
| markovh | jeevan_: ++ what rww is saying | 04:46 |
| jeevan_ | i understand i have seen the latest built on was dec 4th 2015 | 04:46 |
| jeevan_ | but if i want to upgrade from openssl 1.0.1 in ubuntu precise 12.0.4 how should i do it | 04:47 |
| RNeville | thx rww and markovh | 04:47 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: you don't, without an exceptionally good reason | 04:47 |
| markovh | jeevan_: also, if you REALLY want to go down the path, you can do sudo apt-get build-dep openssl | 04:48 |
| markovh | which should install all the packages you need to build openssl deb package | 04:48 |
| jeevan_ | ok i will try the command now | 04:48 |
| jeevan_ | even though, the latest backport from ubuntu is upto 1.0.2d | 04:49 |
| jeevan_ | but the latest stable non-vulnerable version is 1.0.2e | 04:49 |
| rww | The current version in Ubuntu is not vulnerable. | 04:49 |
| jeevan_ | my superior asked me to install 1.0.2e from openssl | 04:49 |
| rww | We fix security vulnerabilities in whichever versions we're running. | 04:49 |
| rww | Your superior is an idiot | 04:49 |
| rww | Also, the end result of installing self-compiled packages on your computer, including updating libraries and breaking API, is not supported in | 04:49 |
| jeevan_ | yes i really think so | 04:50 |
| rww | Then you should tell him that Ubuntu puts fixes for security issues in its packages and not just blindly follow his instructions. | 04:50 |
| markovh | once you install from source, package management isn't going to keep it uptodate any more | 04:50 |
| rww | That is what a competent systems engineer would do. | 04:50 |
| jeevan_ | honestly im newbie working in server support | 04:50 |
| rww | Also, the end result of installing self-compiled packages on your computer, including updating libraries and breaking API, is not supported in | 04:50 |
| rww | this channel. | 04:50 |
| rww | So if you do pointlessly follow his instructions and then encounter issues, we will not help you fix them. | 04:50 |
| RNeville | any ideas why some web pages scroll down one line at a time when I use the down arrow, and other webpages just go to the bottow of the page? | 04:50 |
| cfhowlett | or install as per directive and document via written correspondence that you did so under orders and with full diclosure | 04:51 |
| rww | So, you should instead explain to your boss how security updates work in Ubuntu. | 04:51 |
| rww | </rant> | 04:51 |
| jeevan_ | ok ok | 04:51 |
| markovh | jeevan_: well rww may not help you, others still may out of sympathy :p | 04:51 |
| rww | markovh: no, self-compiled package breakage is not supported here. | 04:51 |
| RNeville | using Firefox 43.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 | 04:51 |
| rww | non-ubuntu package breakage = not #ubuntu's problem | 04:51 |
| markovh | rww: i mean, unless you have op prives and would kick me for helping him in the channel.. | 04:52 |
| jeevan_ | im just compiling from the openssl.org has 1.0.2e | 04:52 |
| jeevan_ | im not doing any own stuff | 04:52 |
| markovh | jeevan_: honestly, it's not the right move but i get that you may not have hte experience or confidence to challenge your boss | 04:53 |
| rww | markovh: I do, and I would be enforcing channel policy in stopping discussion outside the parameters of this channel. | 04:53 |
| jeevan_ | anyway i understand compiling issues = this is not right channel | 04:53 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: you should understand that compiling a new version of openssl is not the right way to fix this "problem" you have | 04:54 |
| jeevan_ | ohh | 04:54 |
| polpiem | hello | 04:54 |
| jeevan_ | what is the rightway ben64 | 04:54 |
| polpiem | how to do i access other linux on my network | 04:54 |
| rww | using the packages that you already have and telling your boss how security updates work in Ubuntu | 04:54 |
| rww | as we already said | 04:54 |
| polpiem | with just the ipaddress | 04:54 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: exactly what rww said. use openssl that ubuntu provides, as it already patched from issues | 04:54 |
| jeevan_ | ok | 04:55 |
| polpiem | okay | 04:55 |
| polpiem | but if i have already install samab and the windows computer are connected and it working fine but the other linux computers can\ | 04:55 |
| jeevan_ | so the right way for software management or installation is from repositories ...right ? | 04:55 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: for ubuntu yes | 04:56 |
| jeevan_ | oh for only ubuntu .. ok ok | 04:56 |
| polpiem | jeevan ? i can't find my backbox and the network | 04:56 |
| cfhowlett | !backbox | polpiem | 04:57 |
| ubottu | polpiem: Backbox Linux is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu and is thus not supported in #ubuntu. Please use #backbox on irc.autistici.org or https://forum.backbox.org/ for help with it. | 04:57 |
| jeevan_ | i have one another question | 04:57 |
| polpiem | thanks | 04:57 |
| jeevan_ | im have precise 12.04 , can i use repositories of trusty to my preicse sources.list | 04:58 |
| Ben64 | no! | 04:58 |
| polpiem | if am creating a movie server that all computer on my network can access and watch movies is there any softwear you can recommend to me that i can use on ubantu | 04:58 |
| cfhowlett | jeevan_, do not mix repos!! never | 04:59 |
| jeevan_ | why is that | 04:59 |
| Ben64 | because precise isn't trusty | 04:59 |
| jeevan_ | yes both are different both are ubuntu right | 04:59 |
| rww | jeevan_: because that's not supported and will break things by giving you an install that's half trusty and half precise and all broken | 04:59 |
| cfhowlett | polpiem, so a home media server?? | 04:59 |
| jeevan_ | both are ubuntu and both are 64 bit versions | 04:59 |
| rww | and they're different versions | 04:59 |
| rww | and if you're doing this to upgrade openssl | 05:00 |
| cfhowlett | jeevan_, 2012 parts in a 2014 system | 05:00 |
| rww | then... see the last two pages of scrollback | 05:00 |
| jeevan_ | im not doing this to do openssl | 05:00 |
| lic-finance | how are you | 05:00 |
| polpiem | okay | 05:00 |
| jeevan_ | im just asking generally | 05:00 |
| rww | okays. in general, we test all of the trusty repository packages to make sure they work with each other. we test all the precise packages to make sure they work with each other, | 05:00 |
| rww | and we test the trusty packages to make sure they can all (at the same time, as part of an upgrade) be upgraded to precise | 05:01 |
| regedit | ohai 2016 | 05:01 |
| rww | but mixes of part of one and part of the other aren't tested, are known to cause major issues, and thus aren't supported | 05:01 |
| polpiem | thanks guys | 05:01 |
| HackerII | east gm and west gm, https://www.you the disstube.com/watch?v=n4RjJKxsamQ, pardon | 05:02 |
| jeevan_ | ok ok thank you | 05:02 |
| rww | basically, the reason for this answer (and the previous one incidentally) is that if you stick with in-repository packages for your version, we can figure out issues and fix them. if not, things get very dicey very quick :) | 05:02 |
| jeevan_ | ohh ok | 05:02 |
| cfhowlett | HackerII, you were told already to STOP posting random videos here. Now you are just being rude ... and you are /ingored in my channel | 05:02 |
| polpiem | but is it possible to access my linux server outside my home network? is there is script i can use to do that for free or i will need a private vpn?\ | 05:02 |
| === amir_ is now known as Guest84626 | ||
| cfhowlett | polpiem, you can ssh to it with proper set up | 05:02 |
| cfhowlett | or you can vpn | 05:03 |
| jeevan_ | rww you said ubuntu backports the issue of openssl | 05:03 |
| rww | let's do this another way... | 05:04 |
| jeevan_ | to explain to my boss, shall i say that ubuntu already upgraded libssl libraries to latest version eventhough front end openssl is 1.0.1 | 05:04 |
| rww | this is the package changelog for openssl on precise. it contains a log of every change made to the precise openssl packages: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.32/changelog | 05:04 |
| rww | i would link your boss to that btw ^ | 05:05 |
| jeevan_ | i have read it | 05:05 |
| rww | if you open it and look, you can see that it has a bunch of CVEs in it that are fixed in the openssl packages in precise | 05:05 |
| jeevan_ | cve 3194 is patch on dec4 update of 2015 | 05:05 |
| jeevan_ | i have read it | 05:05 |
| rww | when a new openssl security advisory / version comes out, Ubuntu packages look at it, see which code was fixed, and then do the same fixes in the old version that we have, if the old version is also affected | 05:05 |
| jeevan_ | thank you , i mean technically what are words to explain | 05:06 |
| rww | i'd pretty much say exactly what i just said :) | 05:06 |
| jeevan_ | i mean where does ubuntu fixes the openssl application | 05:06 |
| jeevan_ | im sorry if im bothering you by my questions | 05:07 |
| rww | it's fine, just trying to get you all squared away. i've had to deal with bosses like this so i know how it goes | 05:07 |
| johngilbrough | Been stuck for the last few days with a broken Upstart/sytemd. All that I want to do is wget 15.10 so I can start over. wget releases.ubuntu.com/....... does not work. Any suggestions? | 05:07 |
| jeevan_ | i even showed him the screen shot of built on dec 4 2015 | 05:08 |
| jeevan_ | i just dont how to explain | 05:08 |
| rww | he thinks: old version = vulnerabilities | 05:08 |
| jeevan_ | because i dont know how to ubuntu libraries or linux Operating systems work in depth | 05:08 |
| locksmith | Whats up.. Oakland in da house. | 05:08 |
| rww | he wants: new version with new patches = no vulnerabilities | 05:08 |
| jeevan_ | yes yes | 05:08 |
| locksmith | Oops | 05:08 |
| rww | the reality: old version with new packages = no vulnerabilities | 05:08 |
| rww | idk if there's much more we can say, just gotta keep telling him that :\ | 05:08 |
| jeevan_ | he thinks old is vulnerable and new is no vulnerabilites | 05:08 |
| jeevan_ | yes yes | 05:08 |
| rww | okay, well, he's wrong. which i guess is why he isn't doing server admin himself :| | 05:09 |
| jeevan_ | he said | 05:09 |
| jeevan_ | moreover he said to me | 05:09 |
| jeevan_ | not to use | 05:09 |
| jeevan_ | apt-get update or upgrade on live server | 05:09 |
| jeevan_ | on production servers | 05:09 |
| jeevan_ | is it right ? because he says it wil update other packages | 05:09 |
| jeevan_ | he says he wants only update openssl | 05:10 |
| cfhowlett | jeevan_, he is misinformed. sudo apt full-upgrade will upgrade all packages to the latest versions in the repos. | 05:10 |
| johngilbrough | Is this the right place to bring recovery issues? | 05:10 |
| cfhowlett | !recovery | johngilbrough | 05:10 |
| ubottu | johngilbrough: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 05:10 |
| jeevan_ | i thought of doing apt-get install --only-upgrade openssl | 05:11 |
| jeevan_ | is it right | 05:11 |
| rww | jeevan_: no, he's not. there are two repositories in Ubuntu for updates. one is ubuntu-security. packages only get updated in ubuntu-security to backport security fixes (as we've discussed for openssl). you want all of these upgrades, or you have unpatched vulnerabilities [...] | 05:11 |
| johngilbrough | I've been in recovery mode for days | 05:11 |
| rww | the other repository is ubuntu-updates. that has minor changes* to fix major issues in packages or add new hardware compatibility | 05:11 |
| cfhowlett | jeevan_, you might want to ask server questions in #ubunt-server | 05:11 |
| rww | ubuntu doesn't* upgrade to new major versions in released ubuntu versions, precisely to prevent breakage :) | 05:11 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: updating packages is good, get all the security updates you can | 05:11 |
| jeevan_ | how can i use only ubuntu-securityr repos when updating | 05:11 |
| johngilbrough | All's I want is the web address of 15.10 desktop | 05:12 |
| rww | * there are a handful of packages that get new major versions, but it's stuff like firefox that doesn't matter for a server | 05:12 |
| rww | johngilbrough: I'll grab it. 32-bit or 64-bit? | 05:12 |
| johngilbrough | 64 bit - thank you | 05:13 |
| jeevan_ | yes yes cfhowlett he says not all packages only one package | 05:13 |
| rww | johngilbrough: did you say http://releases.ubuntu.com/vivid/ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso didn't work? | 05:13 |
| rww | (or is that what you're looking for...) | 05:13 |
| cfhowlett | johngilbrough, http://releases.ubuntu.com/wily/ | 05:13 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: well thats silly, upgrade them all | 05:13 |
| johngilbrough | I was going for 15.10 and it didnot work | 05:13 |
| johngilbrough | I'm going to try it again.... | 05:14 |
| jeevan_ | so | 05:14 |
| rww | johngilbrough: oh, sorry. that'd be http://releases.ubuntu.com/wily/ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 05:14 |
| rww | johngilbrough: if that doesn't work, let me know and i'll grab a mirror address | 05:15 |
| jeevan_ | apt-get update and upgrade only updates built in packages or libraries not applications like apache or php or cpanel or proftpd | 05:15 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: you should be doing apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade frequently, as it brings all of your packages up to the current versions, gets you all the bug fixes | 05:16 |
| jeevan_ | ok ok | 05:16 |
| jeevan_ | Good practise is frequently upgrade the OS | 05:17 |
| rww | update* | 05:17 |
| jeevan_ | update and upgrade the OS | 05:17 |
| jeevan_ | i know this is a noobie question | 05:17 |
| jeevan_ | when i do Update and Upgrade, the apache or other application will not get disturbed | 05:18 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: it will upgrade every package on the system. if apache is a package it will be upgraded (note that upgrading is good) | 05:19 |
| jeevan_ | im sorry Ben64 when you said Packages to current versions | 05:19 |
| jeevan_ | i was confused | 05:19 |
| jeevan_ | but some people say | 05:19 |
| chandan | When building the kernel deb package, i added have "linux (4.2.0-22.27+btrfs+blockgroups2) wily; urgency=low" in the topmost line ... yet the packages built don't have "+btrfs+blockgroups2" suffix attached to them | 05:19 |
| jeevan_ | it might disturb the present work, when some application needs specific version onlyy | 05:20 |
| jeevan_ | dependant application needs only specific versions only | 05:20 |
| chandan | for e.g. ... "dpkg-deb: building package `linux-headers-4.2.0-22' in `../linux-headers-4.2.0-22_4.2.0-22.27~14.04.1_all.deb'. | 05:20 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: thats why the versions don't change, but fixes get implemented, as rww said previously | 05:20 |
| rww | which is why Ubuntu backports security fixes to the current version instead of upgrading to new major versions in released versions of Ubuntu | 05:20 |
| rww | righto, i'll go back to nethack :P | 05:21 |
| jeevan_ | ohhhh | 05:21 |
| GmanG | hello | 05:22 |
| jeevan_ | ok ok ok | 05:22 |
| GmanG | anyone around? | 05:22 |
| GmanG | i had to download rtl8192du driver to install and to get wifi working | 05:22 |

| johngilbrough | rww; I'm trying: wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64iso and it just hands for a while and then says "unable to resolve host addresses []releases.ubuntu.com[] -- any thoughts? | 05:22 |
| rww | johngilbrough: does ping google.com work? | 05:23 |
| jeevan_ | im really happy you people are helping me Ben64 RWW CfHOWlett | 05:23 |
| rww | johngilbrough: if not, you don't have working DNS | 05:24 |
| jeevan_ | do you people come regularly | 05:24 |
| GmanG | please? | 05:24 |
| johngilbrough | rww - will check | 05:25 |
| Ben64 | jeevan_: the three you listed are regulars here, other people pop in and out, lots of good volunteers to be found in this channel | 05:25 |
| jeevan_ | ohh thats very good to here | 05:25 |
| jeevan_ | i will try to come regularly | 05:26 |
| jeevan_ | before coming here i was really stuck with this problem for 5 days | 05:26 |
| jeevan_ | i read nearly 30 articles | 05:26 |
| jeevan_ | but still i could not find answers that is why i came here | 05:26 |
| jeevan_ | everywhere i go, the article says to compile openssl | 05:27 |
| jeevan_ | that is why i started to compile | 05:27 |
| Ben64 | because you were looking found the answer to the wrong problem | 05:27 |
| Ben64 | looking for* | 05:27 |
| jeevan_ | common thinking you should update ur software to latest version so i was thinking in common way | 05:28 |
| jeevan_ | so | 05:31 |
| johngilbrough | rww - I thought I had a network - I did all the steps including choosing "network' off the the reovery menu before I choose "root" - and I'm still not able to ping anything - what am I missing? | 05:31 |
| jeevan_ | now | 05:31 |
| jeevan_ | can i update only one package from using specific backport repository of precise ubuntu | 05:31 |
| rww | johngilbrough: I take it ping google.com doesn't work. how about ping 8.8.8.8 | 05:32 |
| jeevan_ | is it possible | 05:33 |
| jeevan_ | ? | 05:33 |
| johngilbrough | pinging four eights give me "Destination Host Unreachable" | 05:33 |
| rww | not DNS then, general networking trouble. hrm. | 05:34 |
| jeevan_ | another question | 05:34 |
| jeevan_ | can a person use PPA in production servers | 05:34 |
| jeevan_ | does anyone use like that, is it recommended | 05:35 |
| johngilbrough | pringing 4 zeros, on the other hand, give a nice echo. | 05:35 |
| johngilbrough | rww - any thoughts? | 05:36 |

| jeevan_ | can a person use PPA in production servers | 05:41 |
| jeevan_ | does anyone use like that, is it recommended using for production servers | 05:41 |
| johngilbrough | rww: Ok - that's weird - I remembered to do a "function F11" to turn my networking on. The difference that it made was that I get an immedidate "unknown host ibm.com" response. I've got two other devices on my network and they're working fine. What's happening? | 05:46 |
| rww | johngilbrough: is pinging 8.8.8.8 still not working? | 05:46 |
| johngilbrough | rww - no, it is still fine.' | 05:46 |
| johngilbrough | Did you mean four 8s or four 0s? | 05:47 |
| johngilbrough | Because 4 zeros works but 4 8s dont. | 05:47 |
| rww | four 8's | 05:48 |
| rww | wireless or wired connection? | 05:48 |
| johngilbrough | rww: Four eights - gives "connect: Network is unreachable" - I've never heard of using "8.8.8.8" before - what is it? | 05:50 |
| rww | johngilbrough: some Google DNS server, it fits the criteria of "easy IP address" and "responds to pings" | 05:50 |
| rww | 0.0.0.0 is just gonna test that loopback works, which it will 99% of the time | 05:50 |

| johngilbrough | rww - so any thoughts on how to get a laptop in ubuntu recovery back on the internet? | 05:53 |
| rww | johngilbrough: wireless or wired? | 05:54 |
| johngilbrough | rww: wireless laptop | 05:54 |
| rww | johngilbrough: probably want to use nmcli then, if it's installed | 05:57 |
| * rww looks up syntax | 05:57 | |
| johngilbrough | rww - what is it? | 05:57 |
| rww | the NetworkManager commandline interface | 05:58 |
| johngilbrough | rww - never mind, I'm reading the man page | 05:58 |
| rww | probably something like nmcli con up id ssidhere | 05:59 |
| rww | i don't have it installed anywhere handy though (my network uses static addressing so i don't need it), so I can't check | 05:59 |

| Dylan____ | Someone do something sbout m2280 please | 09:25 |
| ilhami | m2280, what do you want? | 09:26 |
| m2280 | m2 ssd only support PCIe on P | 09:27 |
| VFDPrim | ilhami: not having much luck here | 09:27 |
| m2280 | PCIE on PCIE | 09:27 |
| m2280 | or Sata on Sata | 09:27 |
| ilhami | ask in #hardware | 09:27 |
| ilhami | VFDPrim, with? | 09:27 |
| VFDPrim | ok it opened | 09:27 |
| Norbin | why do i have /etc/systemd if my init is upstart? compability wise? this is unclear | 09:28 |
| m2280 | does ubuntu has a cmd to list the info? | 09:28 |
| m2280 | like # lshw | 09:28 |
| VFDPrim | it said something about 13.4 or something lol i dono | 09:28 |
| rww | Norbin: which Ubuntu version? | 09:28 |
| VFDPrim | would you like to see the pastbin | 09:28 |
| ilhami | Norbin, which version? | 09:28 |
| ilhami | VFDPrim, what are you doing right now? | 09:29 |
| Norbin | 14.04 | 09:29 |
| Norbin | lts | 09:29 |
| ilhami | just because you have systemd doesn't mean it is being used afaik | 09:29 |
| VFDPrim | now im not doing anything it opened but i it went to the purple screen that gave option to safe open or what ever but i told it to just open ubuntu | 09:30 |
| Norbin | i guess so, but still would love to know why it's there | 09:30 |
| Norbin | for what cause | 09:30 |
| ilhami | !systemd | 09:30 |
| ubottu | systemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers | 09:30 |
| VFDPrim | then it went to the ubuntu load screen and said it found errors and gave options i pressed f for attemp to fix | 09:30 |
| rww | Norbin: not sure, would be useful to see what's in it. could be for logind configuration since that's part of systemd but works with upstart on older ubuntu, or could be units installed by packages that were updated for systemd and upstart | 09:30 |
| VFDPrim | then it went to the first purple screen so i chope open ubuntu again and then it went through bunch of difrent screens and loaded correctly | 09:31 |
| VFDPrim | ;0 | 09:31 |
| VFDPrim | :) | 09:31 |
| rww | Norbin: actually, i think the latter would go under /usr/ instead | 09:31 |
| VFDPrim | ilhami: THANKS | 09:32 |
| ilhami | np. | 09:32 |
| VFDPrim | gunna have to put that boot repair on a thumbdrive i think | 09:32 |
| VFDPrim | not gunna lie kinda afraid to turn off the computer now though lol | 09:32 |
| Dylan____ | Just had to wind my parents windows up omg | 09:32 |
| Norbin | rww, /etc/systemd has logind configuration file, while /usr/lib/systemd contains ntp.units file with some lines | 09:32 |
| Dylan____ | Its hard never drove a car before | 09:32 |
| rww | Norbin: makes sense | 09:33 |
| Norbin | both of these things means nothing to me tho :p i'll read up on them now | 09:33 |
| rww | Norbin: pre-systemd ubuntu uses systemd-shim, which is a compatibility layer so that logind still works, since it's a requirement for some GNOME stuff | 09:33 |
| rww | logind does login and seat management, kinda like consolekit if you know what that was (it's deprecated) | 09:33 |
| rww | /usr/lib/system contains service startup units, they're files that tell systemd how to start particular services (apparently ntp in this case) | 09:34 |
| rww | i.e. the unit stuff won't do anything on an upstart system | 09:34 |
| George0k00 | Hellow, do you know if this ssd SANDISK SDSSDA-120G-G25 supports trim? Thanks | 09:34 |
| Jonii | Hello. I somehow started getting "Enter password for cryptswap on device None!" on startup | 09:35 |
| ilhami | Jonii, is it your machine? | 09:35 |
| Jonii | Happens only on systemd boot, not if i select upstart. I tried resetting the entire partition | 09:35 |
| Norbin | rww good stuff, thanks! | 09:35 |
| Jonii | didn't help :( | 09:35 |
| Jonii | ilhami: yes | 09:35 |
| Jonii | why? | 09:35 |
| Jonii | I mean, cryptswap you can throw any number at all as password, it will be accepted | 09:36 |
| ilhami | http://askubuntu.com/questions/616663/after-new-ubuntu-15-04-installation-startup-asks-for-password-even-though-no-di | 09:36 |
| ilhami | it's a known issue according to this | 09:36 |
| ilhami | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/1447282 | 09:36 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1447282 in eCryptfs "Does not use encrypted swap when using GPT partitioning + encrypted home directory (ecryptfs)" [High,Fix committed] | 09:36 |
| Jonii | ilhami: yes, read all those, none of them seem to help in actually getting rid of the bug | 09:36 |
| ilhami | did you switch to upstart? | 09:36 |
| VFDPrim | i was told the login loop was a amd graphix issue | 09:37 |
| Jonii | I'm considering it | 09:37 |
| ilhami | VFDPrim, it may be | 09:37 |
| Jonii | But I've been given impression upstart is what barbarians and savages use | 09:37 |
| Jonii | Not something for civilized folk | 09:37 |
| VFDPrim | had that issue with 15.10 | 09:37 |
| Dylan____ | Anyone know how to install orace java officalb | 09:37 |
| Jonii | Also, I'm not entirely sure but I think swap might not be available at all if I use upstart? I'm not 100% sure, I've been booting with so many different configurations now | 09:38 |
| VFDPrim | ilhami: i did an update looks like there was allot there | 09:38 |
| Jonii | So instead of upstart, I'm considering just ditching swap partition entirely | 09:38 |
| VFDPrim | wondering if that has to do with my issue i had even though i just updated here three days ago | 09:39 |

| ilhami | run those commands | 09:39 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 09:40 |
| Jonii | But yeah, I wanted to have human opinions about this before I do anything drastic. Removing swap entirely, switching to upstart, or following some of the more exotic advice on those google results that I can't quite understand what they are supposed to be doing | 09:40 |
| VFDPrim | and on that note im off to bed | 09:40 |
| Dylan____ | Just connecting to wifi before i do anything | 09:40 |
| Dylan____ | Gotta update and install the updates | 09:40 |
| Dylan____ | Etc | 09:40 |
| VFDPrim | thanks again ilhami: | 09:40 |
| ilhami | VFDPrim, don't worry mate | 09:40 |
| VFDPrim | happy new year and good night or day to you all | 09:41 |
| ilhami | night | 09:41 |
| Jonii | What I have done is that I wrote 10mb worth of zeroes to the start of swap partition in case there was some residual file system thing there that confused systemd. Systemd didn't boot. So I fixed it by actually making that partition into linux swap. Still asked for password :( | 09:41 |
| George0k00 | do you know if this ssd SANDISK SDSSDA-120G-G25 supports trim? | 09:42 |
| Jonii | I've been keeping /etc/crypttab up to date with uuid, but fstab i haven't | 09:43 |
| Jonii | Some google results seem to imply I could get rid of this problem by commenting out lines which start with "cryptswap1", but... | 09:44 |
| ilhami | wait for some experts to come in here and help you Jonii :D | 09:44 |
| Jonii | ...dunno, I don't know what that would actually do | 09:44 |
| ilhami | neither do I :D | 09:45 |
| Jonii | I mean, every supposed fix seems to more or less be equivalent of "just disable swap altogether". I don't know if swap is really required | 09:45 |
| ilhami | wait for the bug to be fixed. | 09:45 |
| ilhami | is it really that big of a problem? hehe | 09:45 |

| ilhami | 2GB should be fine I guess. | 10:00 |
| ilhami | or 4GB maybe :D | 10:02 |
| Dylan____ | Well | 10:02 |
| Dylan____ | I got 4gig of ram | 10:02 |

| Jonii | Uh... | 10:05 |
| Jonii | So, I checked | 10:05 |
| Jonii | On my tabletop computer how much swap I have. "0 kb" | 10:06 |
| Jonii | That's peculiar? So I checked my partitioning... I have 4 separate swap partitions, none of them are in use? | 10:06 |
| Jonii | No idea when this has happened :3 | 10:06 |
| Dylan____ | Hmm | 10:06 |
| Jonii | I tinkered with this computer a lot throughout the years, but I don't think I have installed os on this computer more than twice or thrice | 10:07 |

| Ben64 | sounds like an internet/networking issue TheEagerPadawan | 10:44 |
| TheEagerPadawan | the weird things is that i can reply on post by using the notification emails and share things by users plus.google.com/share?url=<someurlhere> | 10:45 |

| Jonii | okay, so, actually, cryptoswap doesn't work on either of my machines | 11:32 |
| Jonii | I just hadn't noticed it on my other machine... | 11:33 |
| Jonii | Both of the problems seem somewhat unrelated :/ | 11:33 |
| Jonii | Could i somehow... Reset cryptoswap settings? | 11:36 |
| Jonii | Like, I run Ubuntu 14.04, so from what I understand, it's broken right out of the box as well, but maybe there are other things broken as well :/ | 11:37 |
| === Bnaya_ is now known as Bnaya | ||
| ikonia | Jonii: how is it "broken out of the box" ? | 11:38 |
| Jonii | ikonia, that's what askubuntu threads seem to suggest, it doesn't work. If you select "encrypt home folder", swap will come out non-functional | 11:40 |
| Jonii | brb, booting | 11:40 |
| ikonia | Jonii: many many people have it working out of the box | 11:41 |
| Jonii | Dunno then. Some people don't get it working even on fresh install | 11:44 |
| Jonii | I can get non-encrypted swap, but can't get it encrypted | 11:44 |
| ikonia | Jonii: ask your self really "do you need encypted swap" | 11:46 |
| ikonia | seriously- before wasting time trying to work out what's broken for you, what's not, whats a genuine bug, what's a problem you're having, really "do you need encypted swap" | 11:46 |
| ikonia | that question will probably save you a whole lot of effort | 11:46 |
| Jonii | ikonia: I probably don't need it, but still, it's something that's obviously broken in my system for unknown reasons | 11:48 |
| Jonii | And if somethings broken, I'd want to either fix it or at least have very very good understanding of what went wrong | 11:48 |
| ikonia | right, if you don't need it then, don't make a problem, use the system how you need it | 11:49 |
| ikonia | why make a problem ? | 11:49 |
| ikonia | (unless you genuinely do need encypted swap) | 11:49 |
| Jonii | ikonia: you're not helping, you realize that? | 11:49 |
| ikonia | I'm helping you get a working system | 11:50 |
| Jonii | Thus far I've had 4 separate swap partitions turn into broken bloat and I'm unsure if my current swap partition will last over the next computer reboot | 11:51 |
| ikonia | 4 swap partitions ? | 11:51 |
| ikonia | just keep it simple and use one | 11:51 |
| Jonii | That doesn't seem like working system to me. Of course, who needs swap at all? | 11:52 |
| ikonia | and if you don't need encyption, remove it | 11:52 |
| ikonia | some people need swap | 11:52 |
| ikonia | some people don't need it but benifit from it | 11:52 |
| Dreaman | ikonia i use swap | 11:52 |
| ikonia | thanks for telling me that | 11:52 |
| Jonii | I have only used one. The problem is, some process has created multiple swap partitions. I don't know what it is, or when it has happened | 11:52 |
| Dreaman | your proble is | 11:52 |
| Dreaman | Partition: ID-1: / size: 30G used: 9.9G (36%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda7 | 11:52 |
| Dreaman | ID-2: /boot size: 453M used: 97M (23%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda6 | 11:52 |
| Dreaman | ID-3: swap-1 size: 8.00GB used: 0.00GB (0%) fs: swap dev: /dev/sda5 | 11:52 |
| ikonia | Jonii: delete them, house keep your system | 11:52 |
| Jonii | ikonia: you're still not helping | 11:53 |
| ikonia | Dreaman: I don't need to see it, and please don't put long pastes in the channel | 11:53 |
| ikonia | Jonii: if you pay attention to what I'm saying, you'll see I am | 11:53 |
| ikonia | you're creating a problem, tidy up | 11:53 |
| Dreaman | ok | 11:53 |
| Jonii | You're really not. I'd appreciate if you didn't derail my questions into your philosophical "do you REALLY need computer?" debates | 11:53 |
| ikonia | that wasn't what I said | 11:53 |
| ikonia | I told you to a.) look at your needs realistically rather than create a problem b.) house kep your system to remove any possible problems that souldn't impact you | 11:54 |
| ikonia | if the installer is going to try to detect partitions, and you have uneeded swap ones, tidy up, remove them, | 11:54 |
| Jonii | And which installer has created them swap partitions? | 11:55 |
| ikonia | who knows, | 11:55 |
| Jonii | And when? If you know answer to that question, you already know more than I do | 11:55 |
| ikonia | you'll do well to simplfy that | 11:55 |
| ikonia | back track and tidy up | 11:55 |
| ikonia | I'm assuming you've tried multiple distros rather than multiple ubuntu installs | 11:55 |
| ikonia | in which case, consoloidate, plan your layout properly and tidy up, then install | 11:56 |
| Jonii | Why would I install? | 11:56 |
| ikonia | to get an operating system | 11:56 |
| Jonii | What would I install? | 11:56 |
| ikonia | the distro you want to use | 11:56 |
| Jonii | I already have my distro installed? | 11:56 |
| ikonia | but you're saying it's not working | 11:57 |
| Jonii | Yes, and I'd want help with that | 11:57 |
| Jonii | So can you PLEASE stop derailing this with your meaningless mumbling? | 11:57 |
| ikonia | ok - so my advice to you, is to clean up the other installs/distros you have, consolidate your swap into an unencypted swap | 11:57 |
| Dreaman | i use meny years ago 3 distro and win 4 os an swap is one for the distros | 11:57 |
| Jonii | ikonia: I have no other distros or installs | 11:57 |
| ikonia | and then re-install or re-configure your current install | 11:57 |
| bazhang | Jonii, listen then and follow what is being given, one remove the excess swap partitions | 11:57 |
| ikonia | Jonii: ok - so you have 1 distro installed and 4 swap partitions | 11:57 |
| ikonia | Jonii: lets tidy up the partitions then and re-configure | 11:58 |
| Jonii | Yes, that I plan to do, once I understand what went wrong that produced those multiple swap partitions in the first place | 11:58 |
| ikonia | just bin them | 11:59 |
| ikonia | and create one you know is "good" | 11:59 |
| Jonii | ikonia: oh, you're approaching actually answering my question? | 11:59 |
| ikonia | then you can reconfigure the existing install to use that | 11:59 |
| ikonia | Jonii: drop the smart mouth please, people are actually helping if you listen | 11:59 |
| Jonii | Yes, you're getting close. Yes, that's what I asked someone to help me with, how to reset swap partition so it should work | 12:00 |
| ikonia | I'm not going to help you, your attitude is not acceptable to me | 12:00 |
| Jonii | Thank you | 12:00 |
| ikonia | if you wish to continue to use this channel, pull it back in and work with people who are helping you | 12:00 |
| bazhang | Jonii, drop the attitude for one | 12:00 |
| bazhang | Jonii, remove the extra swap partitions for the second step | 12:01 |
| Jonii | bazhang: I don't think I need to hurry with that? I plan to do so, but I'm not in acute need of disk space | 12:02 |
| === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant | ||
| bazhang | Jonii, thats the second step, this channel is for support alone, and not musing on how things may or may not have gotten into that wretched state | 12:02 |
| user1337 | hi | 12:03 |
| user1337 | !* UDP | 12:03 |
| Jonii | Like, I suspect they were produced because my swap partitions kept breaking into unrecognizable mess, and sometime something has tried to access swap or create a new one, so if I just manage to make 1 swap partition that doesn't repeatedly break down, everything is fine | 12:03 |
| bazhang | Jonii, regardless, remove them and then we can continue | 12:04 |
| Jonii | Ah, yeah, I actually can't. Would need to use live cd or something, my system partition has higher number than those unknown type partitions | 12:07 |
| Jonii | Which, according to gparted, prevents me from deleting them | 12:07 |
| ikonia | you don't need a live cd to delete unused swap partitions | 12:07 |
| Jonii | gparted tells me otherwise | 12:07 |
| ikonia | make sure they are not in use | 12:08 |
| ikonia | that would be the thing that blocks the | 12:08 |
| ikonia | them | 12:08 |
| Jonii | "please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5" | 12:08 |
| ikonia | I suspect they are marked as "unknown" because you tried to encypt them | 12:08 |
| Jonii | root is /dev/sda7, can't unmount that | 12:08 |
| ikonia | why would you unmount root ? | 12:09 |
| Jonii | "please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5" | 12:09 |
| ikonia | how many physical hard disks do you have in your machine | 12:09 |
| Jonii | 1 I think? | 12:09 |
| Jonii | 2 if you count external hd | 12:10 |
| ikonia | it would help people who are interested in helping you, if you opened a terminal and ran "sudo fdisk -l" and put it into a pastebin for people to see | 12:10 |
| ikonia | you'd also do well to eject the external HD to remove confusion | 12:10 |
| Jonii | I might have 3rd hard drive in my computer but I don't think it's connected or mounted or anything | 12:10 |
| ikonia | run the command I requested and put it into a pastebin, that will tell people are lot more than your guess work | 12:11 |
| Jonii | http://pastebin.com/BXELZuKb | 12:13 |
| ikonia | ok - so when someone wants to help you, it's worth showing them that, that will explain a lot more | 12:15 |
| dynorsau | How can i link my microphone to audio output? | 12:16 |
| dynorsau | I can see levels on the mic and hear sound originating from the pc but i cant hear the audio originating from the mic | 12:17 |
| ikonia | wouldn't that depend on the app | 12:18 |
| ikonia | you need an app to route mic to output | 12:18 |
| ikonia | eg: if I talk into my mic, I can't hear it, but others can | 12:18 |
| ikonia | some applications have a pass through mode that allow you to hear your own mic input (normally for testing) | 12:19 |
| thecha | ikonia no this depends solely on the soundcard drivers | 12:23 |
| thecha | the settings there are what matters | 12:23 |

| rhagu | I changed some values in /etc/default/grub .. . Is it possible, that Grub Timeout and Grub hidden timeout need to have the same value for shift to work? | 13:57 |
| ccup | rhagu: try changing these options: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=10 | 13:57 |

| ren0v0 | Is there a way of storing thumbnails of images/video that nautilus looks for, for previewing? | 14:37 |
| ccup | ren0v0: see if you have this directory: ~/.cache/thumbnails | 14:40 |
| ccup | ren0v0: or ~/.thumbnails | 14:41 |
| ren0v0 | ccup, hmm, its on a NAS | 14:42 |
| ren0v0 | ccup, it seems most are in .cache/thumbnails, but is there a way i could store them on NAS? so generate them manually and nautilus will use them by default? | 14:44 |
| ccup | ren0v0: access it through Nautilus preferences | 14:44 |
| ren0v0 | ccup, don't see anything related there | 14:44 |
| ccup | Edit > Preferences > Prewview > Previewable Files > Show Thumbnails > Always | 14:44 |
| ren0v0 | ccup, don't think we are on the same page here | 14:45 |
| ren0v0 | I'm seeing thumbnails fine, thats not what i'm asking | 14:45 |
| ren0v0 | If i have 1000 files in a folder on my NAS, i would like to store thumbs somewhere in that folder, so me or any other user won't need to generate them locally each time we connect | 14:46 |
| ccup | ren0v0: hmm, what about symlinking them from the NAS to your desired folder? | 14:50 |
| ccup | ren0v0: this is what you're looking to do correct? http://blog.firszt.eu/index.php?post/2015/09/13/Nautilus%3A-batch-thumbnail-generation-for-remote-location | 14:52 |
| ren0v0 | ccup, na, that would assume my local folder is always connected/mounted etc | 14:52 |
| === tinoco_ is now known as tinoco | ||
| ccup | ren0v0: if that's not what you're looking for then I'm not sure whatelse to suggest | 14:54 |
| SchrodingersScat | yeah, that could be a problem when you're making thumbnails for anything local, or not related to the NAS. | 14:54 |
| ren0v0 | ccup, well thanks for the link, it seems it may "help" with the actual generation in the first place | 14:55 |
| ren0v0 | but the problems are 1) I can never wipe my cache, i suppose not a huge issue but still. 2) will only work for me and not other family members | 14:55 |
| ren0v0 | ccup, i guess what i'm asking is does nautilus not support remote thumbs? so if there was a .thumbs folder in a remote location it wouldn't look for them there or anything? | 14:56 |
| ren0v0 | then i could use this script to pre-generate them all and store remotely | 14:56 |
| SchrodingersScat | thunar only has an option to not generate thumbs if it's a remote storage, and even this doesn't always work :) | 14:57 |
| Hardcore7 | ccup: are u there? | 14:57 |
| ccup | ren0v0: https://people.gnome.org/~bmsmith/build/nautilus-preferences.html | 14:57 |
| ccup | Hardcore7: yes | 14:57 |
| ccup | sorry in multiple channels | 14:58 |
| ren0v0 | these days remote storage is becoming more and more popular, i'd think it should be something nautilus devs should look at | 14:58 |
| Hardcore7 | ccup: i'm done reading the pages you sent, but the thing i'm stuck on is that different manufacturers use different private OID addresses to save their serialnumber in. I know how to reverse engineer how I can get the manufacturer's ID, because this is saved in the public OID's with the standards | 14:58 |
| Hardcore7 | ccup: But the private numbers don't really seem have something common in my eyes.. do they? | 14:58 |
| Hardcore7 | ccup: company1 uses like 1.3.1.6.1.44.1.1.2 for SN, while company2 uses like 1.3.1.6.1.1248.1.1.1.3 for SN as example | 14:59 |
| Hardcore7 | ccup: or would the most forhand solution be hardcode parameters like; if companyID = 1248 then look at the following IOD, else if companyID = 44 then look at that other number? | 15:00 |
| Hardcore7 | ccup: because it should work for +10 manufacturers and I have to fetch ~10 different variables each kind | 15:01 |
| Hardcore7 | OID should start with .1.3.6.1 etc, my bad but the question still stands | 15:02 |

| cfhowlett | webcam | 15:06 |
| Katronix | okay | 15:06 |
| SchrodingersScat | ren0v0: this person even made a helpful little script for it, https://github.com/jesjimher/genthumbs | 15:07 |
| ren0v0 | SchrodingersScat, this is exactly right, but it assumes nautilus follows these "standards" right ? | 15:07 |
| Katronix | Can someone tell me what I'm missing to cause this error? http://pastebin.com/3dNK1NYF | 15:08 |
| SchrodingersScat | ren0v0: yep, would be dependent on each file browser that you and the other users use checking for a .sh_thumbnails before going to its own local .thumbnails. Worth a shot, and haven't used that script but it looks nice. Since they mention it could be used for cd's, ect, makes me think it could be standard. | 15:10 |

| peder_ | Is there a way to create "shortcuts" in the terminal so that I can more quickly go to folders that I use oftne. | 15:32 |
| tambu | peder_ Sounds like u want symbolk links | 15:32 |
| tambu | peder_ u should probably read up a little as there are soft/hard links.. though 9/10 u probably want soft links. "ln -s /path/to/complicated/folder /home/tambu/easy | 15:33 |
| Hardcore7 | exit | 15:35 |
| peder_ | tambu, thanks | 15:35 |
| tambu | peder_ doh.. just realized i typo'd the name.. "symbolic links" | 15:35 |
| ArneSE | if I preface a terminal command with #, what does that mean? | 15:36 |
| tambu | well in general it means it's a comment | 15:37 |
| tambu | ArneSE: u normally wouldn't do that in a terminal.. normally that means you read it don't type it. | 15:37 |
| zacwalls1 | how do I fix E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) again? | 15:38 |
| ArneSE | I needed to copy a debian.iso file to /dev/sdb, but the tutorial prefaced cp with # and nothing happened | 15:39 |
| === Guest54616 is now known as Saulo | ||
| ArneSE | cp debianbla.iso /dev/sdb ...I must use sudo? target is an unmounted usb stick, MBR | 15:40 |
| akik | ArneSE: you use a # for a comment which is not executed (in a shell script) | 15:40 |
| ArneSE | well, then I can sit here and wait.... | 15:40 |
| tambu | ArneSE: that seems odd. as I said it would do "nothing" because shell ignores # as comments. if you remove the # it would run that command but.. I don't know how that would impact the tutorial without reading it. | 15:40 |
| SchrodingersScat | I've never seen someone do a cp to a device like that. | 15:41 |
| akik | ArneSE: umount the usb stick, then use "sudo command ..." | 15:42 |
| ArneSE | for reference, I'm using this guide. It's for debian but I might do the same with my ubuntu image - https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb | 15:42 |
| ArneSE | note the html anchor, page should scroll down | 15:43 |
| tambu | ArneSE: I might be missing it but I don't see "#" on the page at all | 15:43 |
| ArneSE | sorry, wrong tab, I have so many open: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s03.html.en#usb-copy-isohybrid | 15:43 |
| tambu | ok I see | 15:44 |
| ArneSE | maybe I'll use dd instead | 15:44 |
| tambu | they are using # to indicate a shell command interface.. namely root | 15:45 |
| tambu | ArneSE: for example my normal shell would be tambu@Loki:~$ <_ notice the $ that is generally used to indicate shell commands.. But if you switch to "root" | 15:45 |
| tambu | ArneSE: sudo -s ... root@Loki:~# <- notice the # now to indicate you are effectively root | 15:46 |
| ArneSE | oh, so it's something the prompt types out | 15:46 |
| tambu | so you would "ignore the #" when you copy the command. | 15:46 |
| tambu | ArneSE: to be honest I've never tried copying an ISO image directly to a device.. I've only used the "dd" command.. it might work just haven't done it. | 15:47 |
| luxiaoyou | help | 15:48 |
| ArneSE | Right right. I'll try. Seems I need to sudo because I get > cp: cannot create regular file ‘/dev/sdb’: Permission denied | 15:48 |
| SchrodingersScat | yeah, maybe it's effectively the same, but since debian says, 'can now' that implies to me that it didn't work before, so maybe better to stick with dd, since this is #ubuntu | 15:48 |
| ArneSE | Oh, yeah I'm on 14.04 | 15:49 |
| tambu | ArneSE: shouldn't matter $ and # have been around a very long time. | 15:49 |

| ArneSE | (I think dd is copying... there's a blank line in terminal, no progress bar for these sort of things I guess) | 15:55 |
| tambu | ArneSE: yes unfortunately command lines don't often given "progress bars" and since you are doing a low level copy operations it wouldn't know how I doubt. Just give it time. depends on size of image speed of USB and speed of the memory.. I'd say give it at least 5 mins likely be done sooner | 15:55 |

| tambu | ArneSE: Hopefully your USB stick/device has a flashing light to indicate access? if not.. well give it time. | 15:56 |
| SchrodingersScat | ArneSE: you can send a USR1 signal to dd to have it output things | 15:56 |
| sambagirl | I think that was the best release to date :D | 15:57 |
| ArneSE | tambu> no, it's a tiny thing. HDD light on comp isn't blinking much but I suppose it's because the USB is so slow that HDD doesn't need to read often. | 15:57 |
| SchrodingersScat | ArneSE: think it's something like sudo kill -s USR1 `pidof dd` | 15:57 |
| xJeremyCx | my windows partition has a few "bad blocks". Ubuntu runs perfectly fine. My question is, is it possible to fix the bad blocks issue in ubuntu? | 15:58 |
| ArneSE | Sounds dangerous! Linux is all about trusting strangers' terminal commands, heh. Oh! It's done! | 15:58 |
| tambu | ArneSE: did you use "dd" or "cp" in the end? SchrodingersScat appears to have a suggestion | 15:58 |
| ArneSE | dd. 1.2GB copied, 3.7MM/s were the stats | 15:59 |
| ArneSE | I might do the same for the Ubuntu-mate 15 image while I'm at it | 15:59 |
| SchrodingersScat | ArneSE: always investigate what you type in, you can google my suggestion and check to see if it's sane. Also a good reason to wait a bit and see if another user thinks what the other user suggested was a bad idea or not ;) | 16:00 |
| ArneSE | SchrodingersScat, I usually look at multiple search results to see if people suggest similar things, but sometimes you just want to get things up and running quickly | 16:01 |
| SchrodingersScat | xJeremyCx: afaik no. My layman's understanding is that sectors get marked on the drive's bad blocks list and aren't used in the future. If it's bad spots on the disk, then no software could help you. | 16:02 |

| luxiaoyo1 | luxiaoyou hi | 16:34 |
| Skyrider | Ello all | 16:34 |
| Skyrider | When I try "ifconfig wlan0 up" I'm getting -> wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device | 16:35 |
| IOIO | hello | 16:35 |
| ikonia | there is no such device called wlan0 | 16:35 |
| Skyrider | Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1737:0079 Linksys WUSB600N v2 Dual-Band Wireless-N Network Adapter [Ralink RT3572] | 16:35 |
| Skyrider | This one is connected. | 16:35 |
| ikonia | there is not a device called wlan0 | 16:36 |
| Skyrider | I get that.. | 16:36 |
| ikonia | ok, | 16:36 |
| Skyrider | I tried 1,2,3 etc.. nothing appears to work.. so my question is, how do I get it to work. | 16:36 |
| IOIO | what are trying? | 16:36 |
| ikonia | just adding numbers does not a valid approach | 16:36 |
| Skyrider | Course it will, if it happens to be assigned to a different number.. just making sure. | 16:36 |
| ikonia | your wireless interface will be called whatever udev devices it's called | 16:36 |
| ikonia | if you do an ifconfig -a you will see all the devices on your system | 16:37 |
| IOIO | thats windows | 16:37 |
| ikonia | if you do not see your wireless in the list, it's because the operating system can't load a working/supported kernel module for it | 16:37 |
| tambu | Skyrider: "ip link" will sometimes help to find the device name it's likely something crazy you wouldn't expect | 16:37 |
| IOIO | ipconfig | 16:37 |
| ikonia | if there is no valid kernel module loaded, that is the problem you need to addres | 16:37 |
| ikonia | IOIO: no-one said ipconfig | 16:37 |
| Skyrider | Using ifconfig shows different network adapters.. but I assume "wlx00259c96f84c" is the wireless one. | 16:38 |
| ikonia | that seems a logical guess | 16:38 |
| Skyrider | Would that be the interface name as well? | 16:38 |
| tambu | Skyrider yup thats what you should use instead of wlan0 | 16:38 |
| Skyrider | Awesome, ty. | 16:38 |
| ikonia | ifconfig displays interface names | 16:38 |
| ikonia | so what you are seeing IS the interface name | 16:38 |
| Skyrider | Good to know.. I'll remember that | 16:38 |
| MonkeyDust | Skyrider you can also also use iwlist | 16:39 |
| tambu | Linux = n+1 ways to get at information :) | 16:40 |
| Skyrider | Is there a way to tell in ubuntu if the specific wireless ad, supports access point mode? | 16:41 |
| ikonia | Skyrider: depends on the kernel module really | 16:41 |
| ikonia | if you right click on the interface in network manager and see "use as hotspot" or something like that "yes" | 16:41 |
| Skyrider | I never turned my wlan into a wireless extender. | 16:41 |
| Skyrider | Ah, using shell. | 16:42 |
| Skyrider | No desktop. | 16:42 |
| ikonia | then you'll have to look if your module supports "infrastructure mode" | 16:42 |
| cisc | so if AppArmor is enabled by default in Ubuntu, there are default profiles that already come configured which work out-of-the-box, without the user having to touch much? | 16:45 |
| lotuspsychje_ | cisc: man apparmor in terminal | 16:45 |

| unknown1337 | hi, I have installed tlp and indicator-cpufreq. first problem: after a right click on the indicator I only see "performance" and "saving mode" but not the cpu frequencies. second problem: I can't disable turbo mode | 16:51 |
| unknown1337 | ubuntu 15.10, 4.2.0-22-generic. Thinkpad T450s | 16:52 |
| nicomachus | unknown1337: you should be able to disable turbo mode by settings /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost to 0 | 16:53 |

| pouet12345 | hi | 16:53 |
| jmadero | the answer there answers your first question | 16:53 |
| pouet12345 | would there be a way that my user can't delete deja-dup backups ? | 16:54 |
| pouet12345 | to avoid errors | 16:54 |
| pouet12345 | like having a special user doing the backups | 16:54 |
| jmadero | pouet12345: let sudo make the backups | 16:54 |
| pouet12345 | jmadero, ok, but is there such possibility to that simply ? | 16:55 |
| jmadero | pouet12345: not following that question (sorry) | 16:55 |
| pouet12345 | jmadero, can deja dupe be run as root | 16:55 |
| jmadero | I'd imagine so, I use rsync for backing up so I can't say for sure | 16:56 |
| SchrodingersScat | !gksudo | 16:56 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 16:56 |
| MonkeyDust | rsync for backups, here too | 16:56 |
| nicomachus | if we're checking in, I'm checking in w/ rsync as well | 16:56 |
| Redguy | hi | 16:57 |
| Redguy | so i just installed unbuntu since i got more into programming | 16:58 |
| * jmadero confused how those are related | 16:58 | |
| jmadero | anyone know why I can't set my ccache max size? | 16:58 |
| jmadero | ccache --max-size 32G Could not set cache size limit. | 16:58 |
| Redguy | web development how to secure my pages penetration testing | 16:59 |
| ikonia | thats nothing to do with ubuntu | 16:59 |
| Redguy | well its more open than windows | 16:59 |
| nicomachus | Redguy: check with #security for that | 16:59 |
| ikonia | thats web developement questions | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Redguy: no it's not | 16:59 |
| unknown1337 | jmadero, thx | 16:59 |
| jmadero | unknown1337: did it work? | 16:59 |
| nicomachus | err... ##security | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Redguy: I suggest you talk to web development channels | 16:59 |
| unknown1337 | nicomachus, there is no such file. I can see a dir /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ | 17:00 |
| Redguy | well i was actualy looking to join anonymous channels | 17:00 |
| Redguy | but i don't know how xd | 17:00 |
| ikonia | thats not really our problem | 17:00 |
| nicomachus | unknown1337: and there's no "boost" when you ls? | 17:00 |
| ikonia | isn't it only the i7's in the thinkpads that support boost (asking as I'm not sure) | 17:00 |
| unknown1337 | nicomachus, no | 17:01 |
| nicomachus | unknown1337: ok, what is in there? | 17:01 |
| === Redguy is now known as lebigmac | ||

| jnix | so I'm running kubuntu 15.10, after installing nvidia drivers, everything is very big. Screen resolution is still set 1920x1080, both kde settings and nvidia settings show this, how does one control DPI in 15.10? | 17:11 |
| jnix | there isn't an xorg.conf that I can find, and not sure if writing one is going to hose my system up or not | 17:12 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: grafix card chipset? | 17:12 |
| jnix | nvidia nvs on a dell latitude e6530 | 17:13 |
| jnix | NVIDIA Corporation GF108GLM [NVS 5200M] (rev a1) | 17:13 |
| jnix | i am not opposd to going back to the intel driver if i can figure out why kde suddenly likes to go into "LSD" mode | 17:14 |
| jnix | i can't explain it other than it looks like an acid trip.... | 17:14 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: optimus card? | 17:15 |
| jnix | yes, but latitude has an option in bios to disable optimus and use only the dgpu | 17:15 |
| jnix | with the option enabled, lspci|grep VGA will only show the nvidia card | 17:16 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: have you installed nvidia-prime and wich nvidia driver is active exactly? | 17:16 |
| jnix | i'm just using the nvidia driver that jockey has | 17:16 |
| jnix | the recommended one, sec | 17:16 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: check plz | 17:16 |
| jnix | i haven't heard of nvidia-prime before | 17:16 |
| snfgf | After installing apache2, I want to install php5, (apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5), phpinfo() tells me I have php-7 installed | 17:16 |
| lotuspsychje | !info nvidia-prime | jnix if your card is optimus, you need it | 17:17 |
| ubottu | jnix if your card is optimus, you need it: nvidia-prime (source: nvidia-prime): Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.1 (wily), package size 10 kB, installed size 114 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 17:17 |
| jnix | cool, i'll have a look at that | 17:17 |
| DavidMedina1 | is there a software like xampp in ubuntu | 17:17 |
| jnix | looks like i'm running "NVIDIA binary driver - version 352.63 from nvidia - 352 (Recommended Driver) | 17:17 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: try a lower nvidia version like 340 or 346 | 17:17 |
| jnix | lotuspsychje: i'll give that a shot | 17:18 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: then enable performance mode in nvidia-settings | 17:18 |

| snfgf | How to downgrade from php7 to php5? | 17:20 |
| snfgf | or actually install php5 without it installing php7? | 17:20 |
| lotuspsychje | snfgf: its not reccomended to install package versions different to your ubuntu version | 17:20 |
| lotuspsychje | !latest | snfgf | 17:20 |
| ubottu | snfgf: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 17:20 |
| jnix | snfgf: have you messed with docker at all yet? | 17:21 |
| snfgf | Nope | 17:21 |
| jnix | docker is <3 | 17:21 |
| snfgf | I will have a look | 17:21 |
| lotuspsychje | snfgf: wich ubuntu version do you have | 17:21 |
| OerHeks | snfgf, you only get php7 with an ppa, not standard. | 17:21 |
| OerHeks | so remove that ppa, and reverse packages | 17:21 |
| snfgf | 14.04 | 17:22 |
| jnix | lotuspsychje: is it still recommended to reboot post graphics driver install? | 17:22 |
| jnix | didn't get a "please reboot" warning | 17:22 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: reboot after installing a grafix driver | 17:23 |
| lotuspsychje | !info php5 trusty | snfgf | 17:24 |
| ubottu | snfgf: php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.14 (trusty), package size 1 kB, installed size 29 kB | 17:24 |
| jnix | cool. I'll be back. Cross your fingers ;) ... i might try turning optimus back on, nvidia-prime and optimus appear to have been installed for me | 17:24 |
| jnix | s/and optimus/and bumblebee/ | 17:24 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: wait | 17:24 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: did you mess with bumblebee? | 17:24 |
| lotuspsychje | jnix: bumblebee is outdated, use nvidia-prime only instead | 17:26 |
| snfgf | OerHeks, I don't recall adding a PPA. How might I find the relevant one? | 17:26 |
| OerHeks | snfgf, softwarecenter > sources | 17:27 |
| k1l_ | snfgf: "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" in a pastebin please | 17:27 |
| OerHeks | likely you will find ppa:ondrej/php-7.0 or like that | 17:27 |
| snfgf | :D | 17:28 |
| k1l_ | snfgf: then remove the ppa with ppa-üirge | 17:28 |
| k1l_ | *ppa-purge | 17:28 |
| snfgf | i just rm'd -rf'd it | 17:29 |
| snfgf | that a problem? | 17:29 |
| k1l_ | that doesnt change the packages back | 17:29 |
| jnix | turning optimus back on seems to have done the trick | 17:31 |
| OerHeks | !ppapurge | 17:31 |
| ubottu | 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:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 17:31 |

| samadhi_ | Hi There | 19:10 |
| samadhi_ | I change the file /etc/passwd trying modify the name's user, But now I cant use my old password user | 19:11 |
| ikonia | samadhi_: you should not be touching that file | 19:11 |
| samadhi_ | I know now, But only change the name of the user /home/name | 19:12 |
| samadhi_ | and after my password dont work | 19:12 |
| harishkrupo | samadhi_, get a live dvd and change that file back to normal | 19:13 |
| alfio | pc professionale | 19:14 |
| ikonia | samadhi_: then you did more than that | 19:15 |
| alfio | qualcuno mi può gentilmente insegnare come usare questo programm | 19:16 |
| akik | samadhi_: you need to also change /etc/shadow | 19:16 |
| akik | samadhi_: also /etc/group :) | 19:17 |
| harishkrupo | better revert passwd back :P | 19:17 |
| akik | well, it's a learning experience | 19:18 |
| harishkrupo | true! | 19:18 |
| harishkrupo | happy new year to all! | 19:19 |
| samadhi_ | Thanks for all, I'm searching for the most easy way :) | 19:19 |
| harishkrupo | samadhi_, most easy way : get into single user mode and create a new user ! : ) | 19:21 |
| akik | single user mode isn't necessary | 19:21 |
| harishkrupo | how else? | 19:22 |
| akik | there's also usermod -l but i haven't used it | 19:22 |
| akik | harishkrupo: you can just create a new user with useradd | 19:22 |
| harishkrupo | that requires root | 19:22 |
| akik | sudo useradd | 19:23 |
| samadhi_ | I should remember you that the system dont read my password | 19:23 |
| harishkrupo | and ubuntu by default locks root account | 19:23 |
| OerHeks | harishkrupo +1, best way to solve this is reinstall, samadhi_ | 19:23 |
| harishkrupo | so no sudo and no root. samadhi_ is only left with single user or live dvd | 19:23 |
| OerHeks | good lesson on 1-1-2016 | 19:24 |
| harishkrupo | Yup agreed OerHeks | 19:24 |
| harishkrupo | lol | 19:24 |
| akik | oh wow | 19:24 |
| * sebastien Happy new year everyone!! | 19:26 | |

| samadhi_ | I cant add a new user without password | 19:27 |
| ikonia | good | 19:27 |
| harishkrupo | without root password | 19:27 |
| ikonia | root password doesn't exist | 19:27 |

| srismi | Hey all, first time using IRC so please excuse my mistakes if I do any. I was hoping to get opinions from people about using Ubuntu desktop as office workstation with a NAS/ ClearOS/ Samba/ LDAP/ DC. Anyone has tried that? | 19:57 |
| ilhami | what happened? why the ban? | 19:59 |
| ikonia | ilhami: ? | 19:59 |
| ilhami | didn't you ban Sebastien? | 20:00 |
| Jonii | Uh, so, my saga with cryptswap continues... Turns out systemd | 20:00 |
| ikonia | ilhami: don't wory about it | 20:00 |
| Jonii | systemd + swap being enabled prevent computer from powering down | 20:00 |
| ilhami | Jonii, are you sure about that? | 20:01 |
| joeb3_ | loveheartjoylove, File, saveAS | 20:01 |
| Jonii | I'm googling to make a switch to upstart, but just making sure, are there any known downsides to this switch? | 20:01 |
| === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant | ||
| ilhami | afaik upstart is event based | 20:02 |
| ikonia | you can't swap to upstart | 20:02 |
| Jonii | ilhami: quite. If I use systemd, on powerup, I get asked for password for cryptswap1. I can type anything at all on that. If I enable swap, I can't turn computer off, and if I use sudo poweroff -h now, then I get prompted to enter cryptswap password | 20:03 |
| Jonii | upstart boot seems to work without a hitch, at least, that's my very brief impression of it, testing it now and everything seems to work quite fine | 20:04 |
| Jonii | swap is enabled and all | 20:04 |
| ikonia | you can't swap out to upstart | 20:04 |
| farhan | hi | 20:04 |
| ilhami | https://www.maketecheasier.com/re-enable-upstart-ubuntu/ | 20:04 |
| psusi | Jonii, umm... upstart has been used in ubuntu since like 9.10 or something... do you mean switch to systemd? | 20:05 |
| Jonii | ikonia: why not? | 20:05 |
| Jonii | psusi: for me systemd seems to be the default | 20:05 |
| ikonia | a lot of the services are centered around systemd | 20:05 |
| psusi | Jonii, yes, it is as of 15.10 | 20:05 |
| ikonia | there is also some gnome components that depend on systemd events | 20:05 |
| Jonii | I have to go to advanced boot options to select upstart | 20:05 |
| psusi | upstart is being replaced by systemd now | 20:05 |
| Jonii | well, since systemd is blocking powering down the system, I either have to disable swap entirely or use upstart. Should I just disable swap then? | 20:06 |
| ilhami | what is SysV then? | 20:07 |
| ikonia | you can work around that | 20:07 |
| ikonia | it is a known bug | 20:07 |
| ikonia | there is a refernce on launchpad about it | 20:07 |
| ilhami | ikonia, he tried since this morning | 20:07 |
| psusi | ilhami, SysV is the original init system dating back to the 70s | 20:07 |
| ikonia | I'm well aware, but he's not tried those work arounds | 20:07 |
| === happynewhippo is now known as tinyhippo | ||
| Jonii | I remember reading about plenty of work arounds that I honestly couldn't tell if they were legit or not, coming from somewhat suspicious sites or downvoted comments | 20:11 |
| ikonia | launchpad has it documented in the bug | 20:12 |
| Jonii | I've tried everything that I managed to understand how it's supposed to help | 20:12 |
| Jonii | launchpad had lengthy discussion about it too | 20:12 |
| ikonia | find the official bug and there are 2 - 3 work arounds in it | 20:12 |
| Jonii | Plenty of comments, I think I tried most of the fixes suggested there | 20:13 |
| ikonia | depending on which one of the situations is blocking you | 20:13 |
| ilhami | the thing about Ubuntu bugs.. you never know if they will ever get fixed. :) | 20:13 |
| ikonia | as I said at the start though, remove encypted swap unless you need it | 20:13 |
| ikonia | and you'll save a lot of time and effort | 20:13 |
| ilhami | I can find bugs that dates back to 2005 heh | 20:13 |
| ikonia | ilhami: course you can | 20:13 |
| Jonii | oh wait, launchpad thread | 20:14 |
| Jonii | That had no suggested fixes I could find I don't think | 20:14 |
| tgm4883 | ilhami: that is true of any bugs | 20:14 |
| Jonii | i was thinking askubuntu thread | 20:14 |
| vitimiti | Hi, I'm having problems with my HDMI. I'm trying to connect the TV to the PC, and everything works, except for the HDMI sound not being available at all. I ran these two commands, and I see that the aplay -l one doesn't find the HDMI card, while the lspci one does.

| Smokie_ | hey guys, got a quick question, whenever i try to use apt-get, it tries to get the package using ipv6 address and it stays for around 8-10mins before it starts downloading, anyone know why its doing that? | 20:17 |
| ikonia | Smokie_: ubuntu indian mirror by any chance ? | 20:17 |
| Smokie_ | ikonia, no, using local Swiss mirror as far as i can tell | 20:18 |
| ikonia | the indian mirror does it all the time on the IPV6 address | 20:18 |
| ikonia | log a bug and raise it to the ubuntu-mirror team or ubuntu-infrastructure team | 20:19 |
| ikonia | there are mirror maintainers in #ubuntu-mirror too | 20:19 |
| Smokie_ | ikonia, is there a way to make it use ipv4 instead of looking for ipv6? | 20:19 |
| ikonia | it's a load balancer in front of it | 20:19 |
| ilhami | disable ipv6 | 20:19 |
| ikonia | no | 20:19 |
| ikonia | it just serves what's behind it | 20:19 |
| ikonia | ilhami: no | 20:19 |
| ilhami | ? | 20:19 |
| ilhami | why not? | 20:19 |
| ikonia | Smokie_: swap to another mirror, and contact the mirror owner | 20:19 |
| ikonia | (or mirror team to let them know) | 20:20 |
| Smokie_ | how can i change the mirror? | 20:20 |
| ikonia | there software sources tool, or the sources.list file | 20:20 |
| Smokie_ | you mean a software that can b used to pick different sources? | 20:22 |
| ikonia | no, the software sources application | 20:22 |
| ikonia | where you enable/disable/change repos | 20:22 |
| ilhami | it's an application in your distribution.. just search for it | 20:22 |
| Smokie_ | alright. im on the server edition so ill look up on how to do that on ubuntu server | 20:23 |
| ikonia | just modify the sources.list | 20:23 |
| Jonii | Just to check, to delete swap partition, all I need to do is to comment out a line on fstab? | 20:30 |
| ikonia | no, that won't delete it | 20:30 |
| ikonia | that just won't attempt to mount it | 20:30 |
| Jonii | Well, I mean, to make sure my system forgets about it. Obv. I need to also delete the partition | 20:30 |
| ikonia | if you comment it out/remove it it will not attempt to mount it | 20:30 |
| Jonii | And probably expand the dominion of my partition | 20:30 |
| jayden | Anybody know where I can find intel integrated graphics drivers? | 20:32 |
| ikonia | you don't need them | 20:32 |
| ikonia | they are part of xorg | 20:32 |
| jayden | Oh, always thought that was the reason all my games ran considerably slower using Linux over Windows | 20:33 |
| ikonia | nah, normally because wine sucks | 20:33 |
| jayden | They're games that run natively | 20:34 |
| ikonia | then it's most likley just underpowered for the game | 20:34 |
| Jonii | Yay, booted into systemd! | 20:34 |
| jayden | For example, I tried out Binding of Isaac Rebirth, I got like 10 frames, but in Windows I get 60 stable | 20:35 |
| Jonii | jayden: linux port or attempted to run game on wine? | 20:35 |
| jayden | linux port | 20:35 |
| Jonii | That's totally developer-dependent, how much effort they put into that port. Some games, early on the linux port were unplayable or borderline unplayable because of crashes, fps issues etc | 20:36 |
| jayden | Yeah, that's understandable. | 20:36 |
| ilhami | wine really sucks yeah | 20:36 |
| Jonii | Some games, they were eventually fixed and they ended up running as well as windows ones. Some games never put in the effort :p | 20:37 |
| jayden | Ah, that sucks. | 20:37 |
| Jonii | DEven Counter-Strike: Global Offensive eventually got their act together :D | 20:38 |
| Jonii | It runs pretty well now. In the early days it was a total disaster, you could occasionally see through walls and whatnot | 20:39 |
| jayden | I should give that a shot, I mean, I don't expect 60fps, because it barely hits 25 on windows, but hey, if it runs okay I don't care. | 20:39 |
| jayden | I need a better pc, gah | 20:39 |
| ikonia | jayden: check the xorg logs and see what driver it's trying to use | 20:40 |
| ikonia | it may have failed to detect and be using the fall back on | 20:40 |
| jayden | How do I check that? | 20:40 |
| ikonia | the xorg logs | 20:40 |
| ilhami | intel gpus are not good except the newer ones that are ok :p | 20:40 |
| ilhami | the integrated ones that is | 20:41 |
| nicomachus | I can run a surprising amount of games on my HD4500 | 20:41 |

| nicomachus | s/quit/quite/ | 20:41 |
| ilhami | oh. don't play on a laptop | 20:42 |

| ztane | ubuntu 15.10; how can I make unity-desktop to run my gnome-keyring-daemon with the pkcs11 smartcard plugin | 21:11 |
| ztane | or maybe I am misunderstanding... what I need is to be able to ssh-add a smartcard to gnome-keyring-daemon agent | 21:13 |
| ztane | wonder if gnome-keyring even supports that thing | 21:14 |
| tambu | Any network-manager savy people here. I'm trying to create vlan interface on eth1.. however every time I do "vconfig add eth1 10" in the syslog I get a message like: NetworkManager[1087]: <info> (eth1.10): interface index 5 renamed iface from 'eth1.10' to 'rename5' | 21:19 |
| tambu | Why all the renaming.. what is wrong with eth1.10? | 21:19 |
| ilhami | hmm | 21:26 |
| ilhami | which version of Ubuntu are you using tambu ? | 21:28 |
| tambu | ilhami 15.10 | 21:28 |
| tambu | ilhami it's been renaming interfaces since I booted.. I used udev/rules.d to rename the basic ones to eth0 eth1 eth2 instead of the goobly gook it chose.. but now I'm wondering if that is causing problems with creating vlans.. | 21:28 |

| Guest51247 | hi, guys, so how do i use autoclean? I sudo apt-got it, but don't know how to use it.. not to good with linux yet. | 21:29 |
| ilhami | Guest51207, sudo apt-get autoclean ? | 21:29 |
| ilhami | tried thaT? | 21:30 |
| ilhami | that* | 21:30 |
| Guest51247 | ya i did that, but don't know how to use it or whatever to autoclean old updates etc. | 21:30 |
| k1l_ | Guest51247: just type "sudo apt-get autoclean" into a terminal. it will delete old packages | 21:30 |
| tambu | ilhami unfortunately those are pretty much the various steps I've been trying.. it seems that when I reboot to push the changes.. I end up with rename5@eth1 instead of eth1.2 like I should | 21:30 |
| Guest51247 | oh! it just auto cleans with that command? | 21:31 |
| iAmerikan | what more does a man gotta do to get gnome terminal to recognize a new font after he puts it in ~/.fonts and updates fc-cache? | 21:31 |
| ilhami | Guest51207, yeah it does. | 21:31 |
| k1l_ | Guest51247: yes | 21:31 |
| ilhami | Guest51247, yeah | 21:31 |

| mogwai_ | does apt-get upgrade break ubuntu | 21:38 |
| k1l_ | mogwai_: no | 21:38 |
| k1l_ | and apt-get upgrade is not even enough to keep your system updated. | 21:39 |

| mogwai_ | i run a script on my debian system and was warned not to do it on ubuntu | 21:40 |
| mogwai_ | you use unattended upgrades instead? | 21:40 |
| sethj | so the /release page says 15.04 will be EoL in January. Does that make it EoL now or is there a more specific date? | 21:40 |
| k1l_ | ubuntu doesnt use apt-get for release upgrade like from 15.04 to 15.10 | 21:40 |
| k1l_ | so dont use the old debian method on ubuntu. | 21:41 |
| philipballew | If I keep having external devices mount as read only for myself as the user, even though I am in the sudo file. If there something I might be missing? | 21:41 |
| Exagone313 | Hi, is there a tool to restore a file removed? | 21:42 |
| nicomachus | sethj: I believe it's January 23, since 15.04 was released on Apr. 23 | 21:42 |
| sethj | nicomachus, ah, that makes sense. | 21:42 |
| k1l_ | !undelete | Exagone313 | 21:42 |
| ubottu | Exagone313: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 21:42 |
| sethj | mogwai_, I use dist-upgrade all the time. No issues so far. | 21:43 |
| EriC^^ | !info testdisk | Exagone313 also photorec | 21:43 |
| ubottu | Exagone313 also photorec: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool, and PhotoRec file recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.14-3build2 (wily), package size 343 kB, installed size 1382 kB | 21:43 |
| Exagone313 | I removed a single file index.html from the wrong directory so dumb | 21:43 |
| iAmerikan | im dismayed that fonts are still a pita | 21:45 |
| ilhami | k1l_, dist-upgrade will just upgrade your current distribution | 21:45 |
| ilhami | ooops I mean mogwai_ | 21:45 |
| k1l_ | ilhami: not if he is using the old debian way to upgrade with changing the release names in sources.list. but that is not supported on ubuntu. | 21:46 |
| ilhami | k1l_, I don't mean upgrading from 15.04 to 15.10. :P I meant update not upgrade | 21:46 |
| ilhami | sorry for the confusion. | 21:47 |
| k1l_ | ilhami: i know. | 21:47 |
| mogwai_ | apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade updates some of the packages of the existing version in debian | 21:47 |
| ilhami | ya | 21:47 |
| k1l_ | mogwai_: it updates all packages that doesnt need removing or installing new packages, like kernel upgrades do. | 21:48 |
| ilhami | if you want to upgrade from one version to another you can use: sudo do-release-upgrade -d | 21:48 |
| k1l_ | ilhami: stop | 21:48 |
| k1l_ | ilhami: dont use -d | 21:48 |
| ilhami | why not? | 21:48 |
| k1l_ | please dont advise stuff you dont know about. | 21:48 |
| k1l_ | -d is for development releases. | 21:48 |
| ilhami | aaah yeah true.. :D my bad | 21:49 |
| mogwai_ | i had issues installing 15.10 in vb, but none installing 16.04, which seemed odd | 21:49 |
| ilhami | don't use the -d parameter | 21:49 |
| k1l_ | mogwai_: 15.10 should work just fine in virtualbox | 21:51 |
| ilhami | Upgrade the operating system to the latest release from the command-line. This is the preferred command if the machine has no graphic environment or if the machine is to be upgraded over a remote connection. | 21:51 |
| ilhami | this is from the man page | 21:51 |
| mogwai_ | i updated vb to its latest version and things started going wrong | 21:51 |
| mogwai_ | it wouldn't install linux mint either, but would install 16.04 | 21:51 |
| ilhami | 16.04 is not stable | 21:52 |
| iAmerikan | sounds like a virtual box issue | 21:52 |
| mogwai_ | installation works | 21:52 |
| OerHeks | for 16.04 alfa issues join #buntu+1 please | 21:52 |
| OerHeks | or #ubuntu+1 | 21:52 |
| mogwai_ | i have none to report | 21:52 |
| iAmerikan | alpha? | 21:52 |
| ilhami | yeah it's in alpha | 21:52 |
| ilhami | I guess | 21:53 |
| k1l_ | yes | 21:53 |
| ilhami | stable will be out in April I believe | 21:53 |
| k1l_ | yes, end of april | 21:53 |
| ilhami | would I be able to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 from the terminal? :) | 21:54 |
| k1l_ | yes | 21:54 |
| ilhami | cool. | 21:54 |
| k1l_ | #ubuntu+1 for that | 21:54 |
| ilhami | not now.. in April :P | 21:55 |
| ilhami | s/would/will | 21:55 |
| k1l_ | the LTS upgrade path will be opened when 16.04.1 is released | 21:55 |
| ilhami | cool. | 21:55 |
| ilhami | aaaah Ubuntu 16.04 is more flat :) | 21:56 |
| ilhami | the design concept | 21:56 |
| ilhami | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyV-BxrbZec | 21:57 |
| * iAmerikan uses openbox anyway. | 21:57 | |
| k1l_ | lets stick to support issues in here. for the chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 21:57 |
| ilhami | k1l_, I am banned in that channel heh | 21:58 |
| iAmerikan | this is ubuntu specific chat, not offtopic chat | 21:58 |
| k1l_ | iAmerikan: we need to keep this channel clear from chat. due to the many users. its unfair for the users seeking support. | 21:59 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Hi guys, I'm wanting to find out why VLC is crashing and halting my system occasionally. I have used a process of elimination to exclude the the CPU, RAM, HDD from the list of culprits and I’m reasonably sure the GPU has the correct drivers and is not at fault. | 21:59 |
| cardboardboxrdio | I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome and every other app runs fine. | 21:59 |
| cardboardboxrdio | VLC will also perform fine running under windows so not really too sure what the problem is but any help would be appreciated. | 21:59 |
| iAmerikan | logs? | 21:59 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Me? | 22:00 |
| iAmerikan | yea | 22:00 |
| cardboardboxrdio | sorry no where would I locate them? | 22:00 |
| k1l_ | cardboardboxrdio: /var/log/ | 22:00 |
| ilhami | cardboardboxrdio, you could try to start vlc from the terminal | 22:01 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Ok I will look there now thanks. | 22:01 |
| k1l_ | cardboardboxrdio: like syslog in there. after a reboot it gets renamed to syslog.1 etc. | 22:01 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: does it crash the X server or does your system shutdown | 22:01 |
| ilhami | oh wait.. I misread.. it crashes your entire system. :O that's bad. | 22:01 |
| samuel | hello | 22:01 |
| ilhami | hello | 22:01 |
| === samuel is now known as Guest93202 | ||
| cardboardboxrdio | yes the mouse stops moving and sometimes it will come right after a minute other time I need to reset | 22:02 |
| iAmerikan | what happens when you need to reset | 22:02 |
| stephen_ | any font packages that people recomend? Brand new installaton here. | 22:02 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: there are steps you could take to diagnose the issue. An alternative program could be SMPlayer | 22:03 |
| cardboardboxrdio | iAmerikan: I will be skipping through a video and then the whole thing stops | 22:03 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: I would try smplayer unless you want to really dig in. | 22:03 |
| iAmerikan | if you go the later route, the first thing I personally would do is see if I could switch to a tty when it freezes using ctrl+alt+f3 | 22:05 |
| iAmerikan | but thats only if the whole screen is frozen and not accessible | 22:05 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Other video players work fine, I want to dig in and resolve this issue. I really like the "continue" function of vlc and haven't found it in any other video player. | 22:05 |
| cardboardboxrdio | k1l_: I have located var/log is there any particular file to locate now? | 22:07 |
| k1l_ | <k1l_> cardboardboxrdio: like syslog in there. after a reboot it gets renamed to syslog.1 etc. | 22:08 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: the logs would be the most useful immediately after this error happens | 22:08 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Ok thanks. I might collect these notes and force it to crash then check the logs. Thank you I will probably be back. | 22:09 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Hey if I'm addressing someone in the channel is there a certain way to highlight that person or what happens there just dump my text in the channel or what? Sorry I'm sorta new here. | 22:10 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: it's good to post the logs to pastebin or something so it doesn't clutter the channel | 22:11 |
| iAmerikan | just say someones name. saying iAmerikan notifies me. | 22:11 |
| cardboardboxrdio | cool thanks. | 22:12 |
| Turnip_Green | So I am trying to get a Neatreceipts scanner to work under Linux. lsusb shows the device. What is next? | 22:15 |
| UserUS | install the software for it, and/or driver | 22:18 |
| Turnip_Green | Did that. No joy. | 22:18 |
| Ben64 | Turnip_Green: how did you install the stuff for it | 22:18 |
| Turnip_Green | Ben64: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2095420 | 22:19 |
| UserUS | try restarting, and checking spool interrupt signals being sent | 22:19 |
| Turnip_Green | UserUS I have done a restart how do I check the spool interrupt signals? | 22:20 |
| ilhami | always restart after driver installation :P it's almost always a must. | 22:20 |
| Ben64 | Turnip_Green: ok, and which part doesn't work | 22:20 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Hi I'm back, it just crashed and I have the log, I found an error on the last line can I paste it here? | 22:21 |
| Turnip_Green | When I start either simple scan or gscan2pdf they detect my multifunction then return an errior and do not see the neat device. | 22:21 |
| UserUS | lpstat -R | 22:22 |
| k1l_ | cardboardboxrdio: put the log into a pastebin service like paste.ubuntu.com | 22:22 |
| Bashing-om | !paste | cardboardboxrdio Apprciate the asking, but : | 22:22 |

| Zulu_Too | Can anyone here recommend a WEB interface with a private IRC server on the same Ubuntu server? Also, I am interested in a real time web interface with a person who comes on my website and wants to talk. Any Suggestions. I have heard of XMPP and AJAX but that doesn't explain things. | 22:23 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Ok, I've done that... What now? | 22:24 |
| Bashing-om | cardboardboxrdio: The result is a URL back in terminal. pass that link back here . | 22:24 |
| Turnip_Green | UserUS it seems my system doesn't have that command and it isn't in the apt-get repository either. | 22:24 |
| Zulu_Too | I have heard that PHP is slow. Not interested in that. | 22:24 |
| ilhami | Zulu_Too, why did XMPP not work? | 22:25 |
| cardboardboxrdio | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14362962/ | 22:25 |
| Zulu_Too | I have not used XMPP yet. I was interested in anyone who has used it. :) | 22:25 |
| Mooash | I have several IPv6 IP's set up in Ubuntu 14.04 and it seems to select the last one as the default IP (http://paste.ubuntu.com/14362963/ ending in 8003). Is there a way to force it to select 8001? | 22:25 |
| UserUS | Turnip_Green: go into firefox and put http://localhost:631/ in the address line | 22:25 |
| ilhami | I have used XMPP once, Zulu_Too .. I set up my own server :) you can do the same | 22:26 |
| Zulu_Too | Ilhami, are you familiar with what I am asking about? It would help greatfully. | 22:26 |
| Ben64 | Mooash: do something like this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-linux-ipv6-virtual-additional-configuration/ | 22:27 |
| Turnip_Green | OK, there is something I didin't know existed. Handy | 22:27 |

| fishwithapipe | can someone please get rid of rosn, id really rather not be spammed with religious shit, thanks. | 22:27 |
| OerHeks | fishwithapipe, please report in #ubuntu-ops please | 22:27 |
| slidinghorn | Zulu_Too: Find a guide online (prefereably from the forums or askubuntu.com or the documentation - https://help.ubuntu.com), follow it along, and if you run into problems, come let us know and give any errors, details you can (in a pastebin if they're mor than one line) | 22:27 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Can anyone help? I have pasted the error code in pastebin now I don't know what to do. | 22:27 |
| ilhami | fishwithapipe, rosn? | 22:28 |
| fishwithapipe | rosn_ | 22:28 |
| === jack_ is now known as lzto | ||
| ilhami | take that somewhere else please. | 22:28 |
| slidinghorn | fishwithapipe: also, you can set /umode +R that will make sure only registered users can PM you | 22:28 |
| Ben64 | cardboardboxrdio: can you explain more | 22:28 |
| fishwithapipe | its not normally an issue | 22:28 |
| fishwithapipe | thanks | 22:28 |
| Bashing-om | cardboardboxrdio: Do not think that zeitgeist id the fault here as " Zeitgeist is a service which logs the users’s activities and events, " . Anything else ? | 22:29 |
| k1l_ | ilhami: please stop that. | 22:29 |
| lzto | Is there a way to install graphics drivers on ubuntu for amd not from their website? | 22:29 |
| ilhami | k1l_, this is not the place for personal issues. | 22:29 |
| ilhami | there is a channel dedicated for that. | 22:29 |
| ilhami | #ubuntu-ops | 22:30 |
| OerHeks | ilhami, please drop that attitude | 22:30 |
| k1l_ | ilhami: its not your business to decide. a helpfull user would have told that user to report to #ubuntu-ops | 22:30 |
| Zulu_Too | Ilhami, I bookmarked that link. Thanks and for Slidinghorn, thanks for that tip, I have been scouring the internet for many different types of Web interfaces and found many. Just looking for the best and most secure and one that uses the least resources. | 22:30 |
| Ben64 | lzto: yep. installing from the amd website isn't supported here and can cause issues. To install drivers, open up the software center, go to software sources, then click the additional drivers tab | 22:30 |
| ilhami | OerHeks, I just told you the truth.. Live with it | 22:30 |
| Bashing-om | lzto: Depends on the card . The repo has what is supported . | 22:30 |
| ilhami | People should read the topic | 22:30 |
| lrs | Hey guys. Is it possible to update from 14.04 to 16.04 alpha? | 22:30 |
| slidinghorn | ilhami: just drop it....you're lecturing ops of the channel on what's on/off topic. | 22:31 |
| Ben64 | lrs: yes, not supported here, #ubuntu+1 for support and discussion. to do it you do "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" | 22:31 |
| lzto | Ben64, thanks for the information. I was trying to do it from amd's website and it wouldn't let me download the driver I needed. Figured there must be another way :) | 22:31 |
| Mooash | Ben64: No luck. :( It still tries to use 8003 as the default IP | 22:31 |
| Ben64 | lzto: you find the additional drivers thing? | 22:32 |
| ilhami | slidinghorn, tbh I don't care who is an OP or not.. I am telling what is clearly stated in the topic. Personal matters should not be discussed in here.. "PM spam? Report in #ubuntu-ops and consider umode +R" | 22:32 |
| Zulu_Too | Slidinghorn, would it matter if I used the same application with BSD or Debian or Ubuntu kernel? | 22:32 |
| slidinghorn | Zulu_Too: That's your call - Only Ubuntu would be supported here, though | 22:32 |
| Zulu_Too | Not all distros work the same. | 22:32 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Bashing-om : Should I post more of the syslog? | 22:33 |
| Zulu_Too | My querry would be the apt-get issue. Ubuntu seems to have stable apt-gets. | 22:33 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: post more of the log | 22:34 |
| lzto | Ben64, I actually can't find it. I'm currently running kubuntu is there a difference in it's software center from vanilla ubuntu's | 22:34 |
| iAmerikan | we're looking for important errors | 22:34 |
| Ben64 | cardboardboxrdio: and explain what the problem is | 22:34 |
| Bashing-om | cardboardboxrdio: Yeah slidinghorn : "slidinghorn> cardboardboxrdio: post the whole thing to a pastebin " . | 22:34 |
| Ben64 | lzto: check the Kubuntu section, see if that works for you... http://askubuntu.com/questions/47506/how-do-i-install-additional-drivers | 22:35 |
| Zulu_Too | Slidinghorn, lots of the Debian and BSD and Ubuntu repositories don't coincide. I was just curious. | 22:35 |
| Zulu_Too | Other issues are that the application is no longer supported. | 22:36 |
| lzto | Ben64, alright found it thank you | 22:36 |
| cardboardboxrdio | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14363104/ | 22:37 |
| slidinghorn | Zulu_Too: Why would they? they're entirely different distros - If you're using Ubuntu, you'll be using Ubuntu's repos | 22:37 |
| Zulu_Too | I see. Thanks Slidinghorn. It was just a curiosity with me. | 22:38 |
| cardboardboxrdio | Ben64: Vlc is crashing the system | 22:38 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: that log is from after a crash yes? | 22:39 |
| cardboardboxrdio | yes immediatly after rebooting | 22:39 |
| frib | did ubuntu do away with .deb files? | 22:39 |
| iAmerikan | look at the ends of the xorg logs | 22:40 |
| Zulu_Too | Slidinghorn, thanks for your input. I will keep on doing my homework. You seem very practical. | 22:40 |
| slidinghorn | frib: no, Ubuntu is still based on Debian & still uses .deb packages | 22:40 |
| iAmerikan | Xorg.log and Xorg.log.old | 22:40 |
| iAmerikan | sorry Xord.0.log | 22:41 |
| cardboardboxrdio | iAmerikan: me? | 22:41 |
| iAmerikan | and Xorg.0.log.old | 22:41 |
| iAmerikan | yes | 22:41 |
| cardboardboxrdio | ok. | 22:41 |
| frib | slidinghorn, where can I find the .deb package for http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/python-pip | 22:42 |
| cardboardboxrdio | iAmerikan: How do I open it? | 22:42 |
| Ben64 | frib: sudo apt-get download python-pip | 22:43 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: same way as last time | 22:44 |
| frib | Ben64 i'm on an offline machine | 22:44 |
| frib | ah download | 22:44 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: I gotta head in to work. I would post both of those links to the logs here. as well as a clear overview of what your problem is. I'm sure these nice guys can continue to help | 22:44 |
| iAmerikan | you can PM me but I'm not on a stable connection so I don't know if I'll be on for long | 22:45 |
| frib | Ben64, thanks. will that work for previous versions of ubuntu? no right? | 22:45 |
| cardboardboxrdio | iAmerikan: it says I need to find an application to open this file, the file i opened earlier was syslog.1 | 22:45 |
| frib | Ben64, meaning use the downloaded package on a previous version of ubuntu | 22:45 |
| Ben64 | frib: it will download it for whichever version of ubuntu is running | 22:45 |
| iAmerikan | it should be a text file | 22:45 |
| frib | Ben64, can I specify a different version? | 22:45 |
| Ben64 | frib: no | 22:45 |
| iAmerikan | cardboardboxrdio: it's text for me. /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 22:46 |
| iAmerikan | and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | 22:46 |
| frib | bummer | 22:46 |
| cardboardboxrdio | iAmerikan: it says its unknown, the .old file the other xorg.0.log is text shall I openthat instead? | 22:46 |
| Ben64 | frib: the link you posted has a link to the deb, is there something wrong with that? | 22:46 |
| frib | Ben64, that I don't see the deb on the page | 22:46 |
| iAmerikan | post that | 22:46 |
| cardboardboxrdio | ok | 22:47 |
| Ben64 | frib: see right under where it says "Download python-pip" | 22:47 |
| cardboardboxrdio | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14363215/ | 22:47 |

| iAmerikan | gotta go. repost your question and what we looked at so far | 22:48 |

| Awal1 | cardboardboxrdio: mpv and mplayer does that | 23:06 |
| Mooash | Ben64: it seems the last IP thats added becomes the default one for some reason. I guess I can just always add the one I want to be the default last but that seems to be a bit of a hack | 23:09 |
| B0bsF1sh | What cmdline do I run to launch the ubuntu software center to upgrade/browse packages? | 23:19 |
| slidinghorn | B0bsF1sh: gksu software-center | 23:21 |
| Bashing-om | bob_: ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' | 23:21 |
| k1l_ | B0bsF1sh: you can use "apt" for that: "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" | 23:21 |
| B0bsF1sh | I have to run as root? | 23:21 |
| B0bsF1sh | I ran update, but it was going to update everything. what if I just want to update 1 package? | 23:22 |
| B0bsF1sh | So I was going to punt and use graphical interface (the shame, I know) | 23:22 |
| k1l_ | B0bsF1sh: not installing all updates is bad. | 23:22 |
| B0bsF1sh | Wait I ran apt-get update ... not apt ... not sure what the difference is | 23:22 |
| k1l_ | apt is the new apt-get | 23:23 |
| OerHeks | both ways are supported :-) | 23:23 |
