| OpenSorce | k1l, thanks! | 00:06 |
| multimedia | k1m: confirming, the onboard video is set to 1M... | 00:13 |
| multimedia | any other ideas? | 00:14 |
| multimedia | k1l: * | 00:14 |
| k1l | and you say with a 3.13 kernel you see 4gb ram in free output? | 00:14 |
| multimedia | k1l: haven't tested that, will do to confirm. (good idea) | 00:14 |
| k1l | multimedia: because it could be that its only simulating PAE because the hardware is 32bit only. | 00:15 |
| OpenSorce | k1l, universe enabled still no aircrack what am I doing wrong? | 00:17 |
| multimedia | not sure I understand that point. PAE (physical address extension) is what provides > 3-ish GB of RAM. Which is useful when hardware is 32-bit, running 32-bit OS, and >~3GB of memory. | 00:17 |
| k1l | OpenSorce: the package is called aircrack-ng | 00:17 |

| _Dylan | hey guys | 00:18 |
| EriC^^ | hello | 00:18 |
| _Dylan | i need help when im installing playonlinux i get and error from the software center saying that dependences are missing or something | 00:18 |
| OpenSorce | k1l, okay got it from command line wasn't listed in the gui software manager :P | 00:19 |
| Ben64 | _Dylan: pastebin the exact error | 00:19 |
| multimedia | _Dylan: suggest documenting what you're trying to do, and the errors, in a pastebin output so that people here can refer to the details. | 00:19 |
| _Dylan | ok | 00:19 |
| _Dylan | how can i pastebinit exactly? | 00:19 |
| multimedia | _Dylan, see "topic text" | 00:20 |
| multimedia | (it outputs when you first joined the channel at the top) | 00:20 |
| EriC^^ | _Dylan: sudo apt-get install pastebinit , then <command you're running> | pastebinit | 00:20 |
| kbytes | my speakers remote used to work on ubuntu gnome or unity, but since i'm using i3 wm, it doesn't, where should I look into it? | 00:21 |
| multimedia | k1l: going to try the new kernel (sorry I'm IRC'ing on the same box as testing with... DC'ing for now) | 00:21 |
| multimedia | k1l: er, I mean older kernel (3.13) | 00:21 |
| _Dylan | i didnt know exactly how to run the command pastebin it and the command from terminal so have a link | 00:22 |
| _Dylan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14378380/\ | 00:22 |
| Ben64 | _Dylan: sudo apt-get install python | 00:23 |
| _Dylan | ok thanks | 00:23 |
| _Dylan | i didnt know it needed python:/ | 00:23 |
| Ben64 | it says it does in the error... | 00:23 |
| goddard | how can i revert the packages back to original after installing a ppa? | 00:23 |
| _Dylan | thats all i needed thanks | 00:23 |
| k1l | !ppapurge | goddard | 00:24 |
| ubottu | goddard: 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 | 00:24 |
| goddard | k1l: i already removed the ppa | 00:24 |
| goddard | should i add it and then do that? | 00:24 |
| k1l | that is the most user convenient way, yes | 00:25 |
| _dylan | it says i already have python installed | 00:25 |
| _dylan | and its set manually | 00:25 |
| goddard | k1l: thanks | 00:25 |
| k1l | _dylan: what is the full command and output where you get the error? | 00:26 |
| _dylan | i just click install on the app and it says he following packages have unmet dependencies: playonlinux: Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) but it is a virtual package | 00:26 |
| k1l | _dylan: what gives you "lsb_release -d"? | 00:27 |
| zykotick9 | !info playonlinux | 00:27 |
| ubottu | playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.2.6-1 (wily), package size 957 kB, installed size 3241 kB | 00:27 |
| multimedia | k1l: 3.13 didn't change anything. I went digging more into dmesg, and lookey here, you were right! [drm] radeon: 1024M of GTT memory ready | 00:27 |
| _dylan | ubuntu 14.04.3 lts | 00:28 |
| k1l | multimedia: ok. | 00:28 |
| multimedia | k1l: going to research how to decrease this allocation | 00:28 |
| ZadreK | coucou | 00:29 |
| zykotick9 | k1l: using -s with lsb_reliease shortens things a bit ;) see "lsb_release -d" vs "lsb_release -sd" | 00:29 |
| k1l | nice. | 00:30 |

| jvtbatman | Hey! I've followed this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604251 | 00:42 |
| jvtbatman | ..and it works great except for when I connect it to another computer. Is there a solution to have it unaccessible there | 00:42 |
| daftykins | porg: ubuntu derivatives are not supported here, unless you mean official spin offs with other DEs like xu lu or ku buntu | 00:42 |
| k1l | porg: better ask the specialists form netrunner about the specifics | 00:42 |
| === sat-buddhi is now known as |VAsanAs| | ||
| porg | yeah - official spinoff | 00:43 |
| porg | i dont care about netrunner - chan is dead on netrunnner anyways | 00:43 |
| porg | just using it now | 00:43 |
| porg | kubuntu | 00:43 |
| daftykins | jvtbatman: unaccessible? you want an NTFS disk to not be readable in another system? | 00:43 |
| jvtbatman | Pretty much, yeah | 00:43 |
| porg | apparently no one actually knows how to properly upgrade clojure on ubuntu | 00:43 |
| daftykins | jvtbatman: nothing to do with ubuntu then - and no, ridiculous request | 00:44 |
| jvtbatman | Maybe encryption is the only way to go? | 00:44 |
| daftykins | yes | 00:44 |
| porg | SO's instructions are all wrong too - lein doesn't do it either | 00:44 |
| MiningMarsh | jvtbatman: You can try using hdparm to set the readonly flag | 00:44 |
| MiningMarsh | jvtbatman: last I tested windows doesn't make it obvious how to toggle that off, so it is better than nothing. | 00:45 |
| jvtbatman | Yeah, sorry! Thanks MiningMarsh, I'll check it out | 00:45 |
| porg | i'm stuck on clojure 1.5, can't get apt to find latest version - lein upgrades fine, but can't get it to default to clr1.7 | 00:45 |
| [Mew2] | guys | 00:45 |
| porg | clj* | 00:45 |
| MiningMarsh | jvtbatman: oh wait you want it to not be readable, or writable? | 00:45 |
| [Mew2] | can anyone help me | 00:45 |
| MiningMarsh | I think I misread you... | 00:45 |
| Ben64 | [Mew2]: depends, what are you trying to accomplish? | 00:46 |
| [Mew2] | I setup fail2ban and it's not blocking ip's, Ssh failed logins specifically is what I'm testing, [ssh] = true in the config | 00:46 |
| k1l | porg: you need a repo that got that version in it | 00:46 |
| jvtbatman | MiningMarsh: I don't want it readable/writable or anything | 00:46 |
| MiningMarsh | jvtbatman: Yeah no way to do that without some form of encryption. | 00:47 |
| porg | k1l: gah, didn't check my repos... | 00:47 |
| porg | i'll do that first my bad | 00:47 |
| MiningMarsh | You could set the NTFS permissions to only let a specific user read, but that depends on the OS enforcing it. | 00:47 |
| k1l | porg: even 16.04 will have only clojure1.6 | 00:47 |
| porg | k1l: Seriously?? | 00:47 |
| porg | k1l: thanks for the heads up on that.... i'll figure something | 00:48 |
| porg | out | 00:48 |
| jvtbatman | Alright then, thanks! Sorry for weird choice of channel. | 00:48 |
| k1l | and since clojure.org is not loading i dont know if that is still a thing. | 00:49 |
| porg | k1l: ok. I'm thinking i jacked something up in my path. I installed every script and upgrade known to man, but when i hit the repl, it still kicks me to 1.5.1 | 00:49 |
| private231 | hi. trying to repair grub using boot-repair. can i confirm with "GPT detected" it is normal to be required to create an additional BIOS-boot partition - ubuntu requires more than one partition (excluding swap). thanks | 00:50 |

| joeb3_ | [Mew2], I'm reading https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-ssh-with-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-14-04 | 00:51 |
| k1l | [Mew2]: are you in the whitelist ip space? | 00:51 |
| joeb3_ | wrong window, sorry | 00:51 |
| [Mew2] | joeb3_ thats the guide i followed, k1l what does that mean? | 00:52 |
| Bashing-om | private231: you will need either an EFI partition (if your BIOS is set up in EFI mode) or a BIOS-Boot partition (if your BIOS is set up in Legacy mode). | 00:53 |
| k1l | [Mew2]: it will not close already runnig connections. did you look up the iptables? | 00:54 |
| [Mew2] | no i just configured it | 00:56 |
| k1l | and restarted it? | 00:56 |
| [Mew2] | yes | 00:56 |
| joeb3_ | [Mew2], the default install of fail2ban enables ssh. You have to fail 6 times. | 00:56 |
| k1l | and then take a look at the iptables? | 00:56 |
| [Mew2] | if i pastebin the iptables will you take a look? | 00:56 |
| joeb3_ | Thats 6 connections or 18 password attempts. Worked for me. | 00:56 |

| Ben64 | haskel: remove all your personal files and info. only you know where those are | 01:06 |
| haskel | Ben64, I am thinking I can start from /home/my_user_name as opposed to starting from / | 01:06 |
| haskel | Ben64, I know anything I've created/downloaded/etc is in /home/my_user_name, and I can manage that, but am not sure if I need to worry about files in / | 01:07 |
| Ben64 | haskel: only if you put something there | 01:08 |
| haskel | Ben64, but things can go there if I sudo apt-get install stuff right? | 01:08 |
| Ben64 | haskel: yeah, but it wouldn't be personal stuff | 01:08 |
| haskel | Ben64, cool cool, I am good then | 01:09 |
| haskel | Ben64, btw there are some things I want to uninstall, is there a way to list all packages installed by apt-get | 01:09 |
| Ben64 | "dpkg -l" will show everything installed, but some stuff is required for a working system | 01:10 |
| Bashing-om | haskel: 'dpkg --get-selections' will dump a list of all packages you have installed. ( redirect to a file as needed ) | 01:12 |

| rww | sekrit: agreed | 01:30 |
| Dylan____ | Like i tried to install playonlinux but through synaptics and it deleted my ubuntu-desktop and stuff | 01:30 |
| rww | !info playonlinux | 01:31 |
| ubottu | playonlinux (source: playonlinux): front-end for Wine. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.2.6-1 (wily), package size 957 kB, installed size 3241 kB | 01:31 |
| Dylan____ | And then i tried from the software center it didnt work and required python but python comes bundled in the ubuntu desktop | 01:31 |
| rww | oh, that. | 01:31 |
| rww | Dylan____: how are you installing it? Ubuntu's repositories or some third-party one? | 01:31 |
| Dylan____ | Im activated all of ubuntus repositorys | 01:32 |
| Dylan____ | By of my knowledge and i first tried through the software center come up with some error related to python and some virtual package | 01:32 |
| rww | Dylan____: pastebin the contents of apt-cache policy playonlinux | 01:32 |
| Dylan____ | Then i tried synaptics only to tell me things about broken packages or something then it removed all of the ubuntu desktop including the apps system settings xorgs ,etc | 01:33 |
| Dylan____ | Ok let me boot my laptop up | 01:33 |
| * rww blinks | 01:33 | |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: that's AFTER running "sudo apt-get update", and show the output opf that as well | 01:33 |
| Dylan____ | So run sudo apt-get update followed by the apt-cache policy | 01:34 |
| tomreyn | right, and put all of it on pastebin | 01:34 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 01:34 |
| Dylan____ | Can i do all of that followed with pastebinit command? | 01:34 |
| tomreyn | (sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-cache policy playonlinux) | pastebinit | 01:35 |
| Dylan____ | Tells me im trying to send a empty document | 01:36 |

| Finetundra | better yet, what should the sytnax be for the DNS servers in the GUI | 01:46 |
| Finetundra | ? | 01:46 |
| daftykins | it's pretty obvious once you get in there, you add or edit a connection for eth0 if it's wired... | 01:46 |
| daftykins | syntax in the GUI? that doesn't make sense | 01:46 |
| joeb3_ | 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 for example. | 01:47 |
| anabain | Finetundra, after modifying it, you have to execute this: sudo ifdown eth0; ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up; ifup eth0; /etc/init.d/networking restart | 01:47 |
| Finetundra | daftykins: is there a special way the DNS servers need to be listed | 01:47 |
| daftykins | the GUI is pretty obvious about how they're written | 01:47 |
| daftykins | i'd ignore anabain's advice btw. | 01:47 |
| Finetundra | anabain: is that for the GUI or the config edit | 01:47 |
| joeb3_ | sorry.... 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 | 01:48 |
| daftykins | that advice is more appropriate for servers | 01:48 |

| TJ- | private231: fat32? is that a UEFI System Partition ? | 02:30 |
| [Mew2] | is it possible to give winscp sudo access? | 02:30 |
| private231 | yes i was prompted "The boot of your PC is in EFI mode, but no EFI partition was detected. You may want to retry after creating a EFI partition (FAT32, 100MB~250MB, start of the disk, boot flag). Do you want to continue?" | 02:30 |
| private231 | which ive done | 02:31 |
| TJ- | private231: that sounds like you've managed to mix up an original BIOS/MBR with UEFI/MBR. Win7 (unless 64-bit) would have been installed in BIOS/MBR mode | 02:32 |
| private231 | yeah thats what i feels like. i might have to fresh install? | 02:32 |
| TJ- | private231: are you using the Live ISO booted on it now? | 02:32 |
| private231 | yes | 02:32 |
| TJ- | private231: which ubuntu release is that? 12.04, 14.04 ? | 02:33 |
| private231 | 14.04 | 02:33 |
| TJ- | private231: depending on which release the ISO is for, gives us differing tool abilities | 02:33 |
| TJ- | private231: Right, "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit <( sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print )" | 02:34 |
| lettuce45 | hi, im looking for a mp3 player with linux. I dont mean a mp3 player like gmusicbrowser, but a device plus software like here http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/178-0000253-9697827?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=mp3+player+linux can you suggest anything? | 02:35 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380498/ | 02:36 |
| TJ- | private231: That is showing us there's a GPT there; lets check if there's also an MsDOS PT: "pastebinit <( sudo fdisk -l )" | 02:38 |

| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380553/ | 02:39 |
| Gallomimia | lettuce45: you should be able to use such a device with linux by copying files onto the sd card. having it work by connecting a usb cable is pretty tough to find. let me know if you do | 02:39 |
| private231 | how is there still traces of windows? | 02:40 |
| TJ- | private231: That's cleared things up! The MBR isn't 'hybrid' and therefore doesn't have the same partitions in it the GPT has | 02:40 |
| private231 | so im still on legacy MBR? | 02:41 |
| TJ- | private231: do "which sgdisk" and confirm the /sbin/sgdisk tool is installed | 02:41 |
| private231 | TJ-: /sbin/sgdisk yes | 02:42 |
| TJ- | private231: Let's create a correct hybrid MBR that contains the same partitions the GPT does: "sudo sgdisk --hybrid 1:6 /dev/sda" | 02:43 |
| Dylan____ | Hey guys when ever im trying to watch a video or move files my laptop suddenly freezes and everytime i have to turn it off with the power button | 02:43 |
| Dylan____ | How can i fix this? | 02:43 |
| private231 | TJ-: The operation has completed successfully. | 02:44 |
| TJ- | private231: now let's confirm that with "pastebinit <( sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda )" | 02:44 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380659/ | 02:45 |
| private231 | :D | 02:45 |
| TJ- | private231: now we'll mark partition sda4 as bootable/active with s*F*disk: "sudo sfdisk --activate 3 /dev/sda" | 02:46 |
| TJ- | correction, mark sda3 active (just my typo!) | 02:46 |
| lettuce45 | what small laptop with free bios (or similar) should I buy? | 02:46 |
| lettuce45 | Intended use: playing mp3 files while on my bed | 02:47 |
| private231 | TJ-: so "sudo sfdisk --activate sda3 /dev/sda" | 02:48 |
| TJ- | private231: "sudo sfdisk --activate 3 /dev/sda" | 02:48 |

| === help is now known as Guest13519 | ||
| TJ- | private231: GPT doesn't have the same concept of marking partitions with an 'active' flag | 02:52 |
| private231 | TJ-: "Done" | 02:53 |
| TJ- | private231: Right, now let's find out what mode the Live env is booted in: "pastebinit <( ls /sys/firmware/efi/ )" | 02:53 |
| TJ- | brb... coffee needed! | 02:54 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380791/ | 02:54 |

| aoteman | 么人？ | 03:01 |
| TJ- | private231: So the system is currently in EFI mode. We can try mounting the failed install and fix GRUB, but if it is installed with grub-pc we *may* need to reboot and ensure the Live ISO boots in BIOS/Legacy mode, not EFI. | 03:01 |
| TJ- | private231: before that we need to ensure the kernel knows about the changed partitioning. "pastebinit <( grep sda /proc/partitions )" | 03:01 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380936/ | 03:02 |
| TJ- | So it will see the GPT partition entries. We'll keep that in mind later if we hit problems | 03:03 |
| TJ- | private231: "pastebinit <( sudo blkid /dev/sda*; sudo lsblk -f )" | 03:04 |
| careta | anyone here an apparmor god? This thing is killing me | 03:04 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14380968/ | 03:04 |
| rww | SkepticalParrot: no, it uses compiz | 03:06 |
| TJ- | private231: OK, let's get on with mounting to a chroot: "sudo mkdir /target; sudo mount /dev/sda6 /target" then "pastebinit <( ls -latr /target/ )" | 03:06 |
| SkepticalParrot | o | 03:07 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381009/ | 03:07 |
| probie | hello i have clamtk installed and it keeps coming up with pua is this normal. please | 03:07 |
| probie | . | 03:08 |
| TJ- | private231: looking good; looks like a root file-system. So "for M in proc sys dev dev/pts etc/resolv.conf; do sudo mount --bind /$M /target/$M; done" | 03:10 |
| private231 | TJ-: ok | 03:12 |
| TJ- | private231: now enter the chroot and we'll check it has network connectivity: "sudo chroot /target" then "ping -nc 5 8.8.8.8" | 03:12 |
| private231 | --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 305.710/355.332/436.308/50.423 ms | 03:13 |
| TJ- | private231: and then check DNS name resolving works with "ping -c 5 google-public-dns-a.google.com" - you're hitting the same server (8.8.8.8) again using its name this time | 03:13 |
| private231 | --- google-public-dns-a.google.com ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 4004ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 61.190/259.927/348.341/108.495 ms | 03:13 |
| TJ- | private231: Good! so let's install pastebinit inside that chroot: "apt-get install pastebinit" | 03:14 |
| private231 | TJ-: done | 03:14 |
| TJ- | private231: now some data: "pastebinit <( cat /etc/fstab; ls -latr /boot/; ls -altr /boot/grub/* )" | 03:15 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381166/ | 03:16 |
| TJ- | private231: yurk! a bit of a mess! fstab claims it's booting using EFI but /boot/grub/i386-pc/ shows it's installed only for BIOS | 03:17 |
| private231 | :( | 03:17 |
| TJ- | private231: lets check which grub packages are actually installed: "pastebinit <( dpkg -l 'grub*' )" | 03:18 |
| HappyHippie | when is Ubuntu 16.10 due out??? | 03:18 |
| TJ- | HappyHippie: October 2016 | 03:18 |
| private231 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381214/ | 03:18 |
| HappyHippie | is it a lts release? | 03:18 |
| TJ- | HappyHippie: no, the LTs is 16.04 | 03:19 |
| HappyHippie | ah yep | 03:19 |
| HappyHippie | thanks TJ- | 03:19 |
| TJ- | private231: that list shows grub-pc is installed - so it should be using BIOS mode. That means we need to fix-up that incorrect fstab (possibly added by that bootrepair script) | 03:19 |
| psusi | TJ-, the /boot/grub entry in /etc/fstab is commented out | 03:20 |
| psusi | err, /boot/efi | 03:20 |
| TJ- | private231: it's also possible everything is the exact opposite, so best to check! "mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi" then "pastebinit <( find /boot/efi -ls )" | 03:21 |
| TJ- | psusi: right, but at some point something put it there; I'm trying to determine how it got there :) | 03:22 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381277/ | 03:22 |
| TJ- | private231: OK, so there's nothing in the file-system from /dev/sda1, so the EFI stuff is all red herrings | 03:22 |
| TJ- | private231: "umount /boot/efi" | 03:22 |
| private231 | TJ-: ok | 03:23 |
| Shady | hi there, I got this when I update my ubuntu wily ( public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 0A3A17214427F6F1) | 03:24 |
| TJ- | private231: now lets remove those (commented) EFI references from fstab, to make things less confusing. "sed -i '/efi/d' /etc/fstab" | 03:24 |
| TJ- | private231: now we'll go and ensure GRUB is correctly installed: "grub-install --verbose /dev/sda" | 03:25 |
| tomreyn | Shady: that's most likely the repository signing key of a non-supported APT repository / PPA which you added manually | 03:25 |
| tomreyn | running "gpg --search-key 0A3A17214427F6F1" may provide a hint on itrs source / use. | 03:26 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381369/ | 03:28 |

| TJ- | private231: I expected that since GRUB is trying to use the GPT | 03:28 |
| private231 | TJ-: ahk | 03:29 |
| TJ- | private231: I found away to work-around this recently; darned if I can recall what it was, now! | 03:31 |
| remu | I had 14.04 system where I setup a software RAID1 array. I moved the hard drives to a new machine after installing mdadm, and the array seems to have been auto assembled, but as /dev/md127, rather than the original /dev/md3 that it was. | 03:31 |
| private231 | TJ-: LOL! | 03:32 |
| b4tm4n | I can't manually set DNS through Network Manager without disabling dnsmasq | 03:32 |
| remu | My mdadm.conf file on the new machine doesn't have an ARRAY listing like the old mdadm.conf had. | 03:32 |
| b4tm4n | What is the proper way to manually set the DNS servers? | 03:32 |
| remu | Do I need to do anything else to make sure everything is okay? | 03:32 |
| b4tm4n | (been googling, finding too many answers that are not working) | 03:32 |
| private231 | TJ-: if it becomes too difficult i can cut my losses | 03:33 |
| TJ- | private231: we can slip a BIOS Boot partition into the end of the disk, after partition 6 | 03:35 |
| Shady | TJ-, how to add it? | 03:35 |
| private231 | TJ-: because my start of disk eufi is wrecked? | 03:37 |
| TJ- | private231: ah, only 389 sectors left; not enough. But, as its not using EFI we can delete partition 1 and use some of its space for a 1MB BIOS-Boot partition | 03:38 |
| OerHeks | Shady, sure you know which ppa it is >https://launchpad.net/~vpinon/+ppa-packages , add it properly | 03:38 |
| OerHeks | that key is for 2 ppas | 03:39 |
| TJ- | private231: Are you OK with us deleting partition #1 ? | 03:40 |
| private231 | TJ-: yes i only created it for boot-repair | 03:40 |
| TJ- | private231: OK, so "sgdisk --delete=1 /dev/sda" | 03:41 |
| private231 | TJ-: Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table. The new table will be used at the next reboot. The operation has completed successfully. | 03:42 |
| TJ- | private231: then we'll create a 1MiB partition for BIOS Boot. "sgdisk --new=1:2048:+1M" | 03:43 |
| TJ- | private231: that's fine; we'll tell the kernel to update in a few moments | 03:43 |
| Shady | OerHeks, I don't know what is the problem but the software updates can't add it??!! | 03:44 |
| private231 | TJ-: ok | 03:45 |
| b4tm4n | anyone help with a dnsmasq/networkmanager issue? | 03:45 |
| TJ- | private231: then mark it as a bios boot type: "sgdisk --typecode=1:ef02" | 03:45 |
| TJ- | private231: and finally, we redo the hybrid MsDOS PT with "sgdisk --hybrid 1:6" | 03:46 |
| private231 | TJ-: good good | 03:46 |
| TJ- | private231: now lets check if you have a tool we need: "which partprobe" | 03:46 |
| private231 | TJ-: /sbin/partprobe | 03:48 |
| TJ- | private231: good; so: "partprobe /dev/sda" | 03:48 |
| TJ- | private231: and then "pastebinit <( cat /proc/partitions )" | 03:48 |
| private231 | TJ-: ok | 03:48 |
| private231 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381765/ | 03:48 |
| TJ- | private231: it's not seeing that new partition #1 | 03:49 |
| TJ- | private231: "pastebinit <( parted /dev/sda unit s print )" | 03:49 |
| private231 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14381797/ | 03:50 |
| TJ- | private231: that's not right! those 'sgdisk' commands we used haven't created the new partition ... were there no warnings/errors when you did the --new= and/or --typecode= ? | 03:51 |
| private231 | TJ-: there was no response, i assumed fine | 03:51 |
| TJ- | private231: right; usually silence is golden :s | 03:52 |
| TJ- | private231: we can only try again and check after each step | 03:52 |
| private231 | TJ-: sgdisk --new=1:2048:+1M root@ubuntu:/# sgdisk --typecode=1:ef02 root@ubuntu:/# sgdisk --hybrid 1:6 | 03:52 |
| HappyHippie | how old is the last LTS Ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| TJ- | private231: "sgdisk --new=1:2048:+1M /dev/sda" | 03:53 |
| TJ- | private231: then "sgdisk --typecode=1:ef02 /dev/sda" | 03:53 |
| TJ- | private231: I just noticed the previous commands I gave you didn't have the device name!! no wonder it didn't work :) | 03:54 |
| TJ- | private231: then ""sgdisk --hybrid 1:6 /dev/sda" | 03:54 |
| private231 | TJ-: it does say "The new table will be used at the next reboot." | 03:54 |
| TJ- | private231: after those 3 commands you should now seed /dev/sda1 with "parted /dev/sda unit s print" | 03:55 |
| TJ- | s/seed/see/ | 03:55 |
| TJ- | private231: it's almost 4am here; I think I'm getting tired | 03:55 |

| private231 | TJ-: you have no obligation <3 | 03:56 |
| TJ- | private231: if you do see /dev/sda1 there now, tell the kernel about it with "partprobe /dev/sda" then check if its seen with "grep sda /proc/partitions" | 03:56 |

| TJ- | private231_: did you ensure you forced the Legacy/BIOS boot mode in the firmware ? | 04:10 |
| private231_ | went in through bios, no different | 04:10 |
| private231_ | TJ-: oh i thought i was automatic, how do i? | 04:10 |
| ForSpareParts | I’m trying to use my Ubuntu HTPC as a client for Steam in-home streaming. | 04:10 |
| private231_ | BIOS firmware? | 04:10 |
| ForSpareParts | whoops, that was supposed to have the rest of my problem... | 04:11 |
| TJ- | private231_: That depends on the system. At boot time there's usually a hot-key you can press to get to the manual boot device chooser | 04:11 |
| nicomachus | ForSpareParts: even without the rest... have you considered SteamOS? | 04:11 |
| private231_ | TJ-: grub boot device chooser? | 04:11 |
| private231_ | TJ-: i dont reach grub | 04:12 |
| TJ- | private231_: no, nothing to do with GRUB or Linux. The PC's firmware | 04:12 |
| TJ- | private231_: there's usually hot-keys to enter firmware Setup, and also for firmware's manual boot menu | 04:12 |
| private231_ | TJ-: so inside bios screen? | 04:12 |
| ForSpareParts | nicomachus: I hadn’t given it much thought. I’ve been using Ubuntu to run XBMC/Kodi for years, and it seemed like there wasn’t much point in moving over — since I still wanted to do other stuff with it. | 04:13 |
| TJ- | private231_: often Setup is F2 or Del, and the boot menu is something like F8, F10, F12 or one of those higher-up keys - it should be displated (briefly) on-screen as soon as the PC starts | 04:13 |
| ForSpareParts | Anyhow: My problem is that games I stream from my Windows machine appear substantially darker on the client than on the host. So much so that in-game brightness adjustments don’t help. | 04:13 |
| ForSpareParts | I can set max brightness in game and things are still too dark on the client, but then, when I look at the host, everything’s CRAZY washed out (as I’d expect). | 04:14 |
| private231_ | ok brb | 04:14 |
| TJ- | private231_: GRUB is installed correctly so if you choose that disk, and Legacy/BIOS/CSM boot mode, it should boot from it. That involves the PC firmware's BIOS emulation reading sector 0 (the MBR) from the disk, which contains the GRUB bootstrap code, which then reads GRUB's core image from /dev/sda1, which then displays the GRUB menu and/or autoboots the default entry in the grub.cfg | 04:15 |
| ForSpareParts | I’m running some Radeon card (don’t recall which one) using the open-source drivers. Any ideas/suggestions? | 04:15 |
| nicomachus | ForSpareParts: is this only in fullscreen or windowed mode? Or both? | 04:15 |
| ForSpareParts | nicomachus: I’ve only tried fullscreen, so far. | 04:16 |
| nicomachus | ForSpareParts: do you have a stream going right now you can test something on? | 04:16 |
| ForSpareParts | I can bring one up, sure. | 04:16 |
| nicomachus | ok. are you doing this through steam big picture mode? | 04:17 |
| ForSpareParts | yep | 04:17 |

| private231 | TJ-: many thanks | 04:19 |
| [Mew2] | guys how do i delete this file /var/log/openvpn.log | 04:19 |
| nicomachus | [Mew2]: why would you want to delete that? | 04:19 |
| iAmerikan | sudo rm /var/log/openvpn.log | 04:19 |
| private231 | i will donate some change to ubuntu in honour of #ubuntu :D | 04:19 |
| TJ- | [Mew2]: you shouldn't, you should logrotate it | 04:19 |
| [Mew2] | nicomachus it will be recreated anyways | 04:19 |
| private231 | TJ-: i dont remember it ever being enable so idk what happened there | 04:19 |
| [Mew2] | its a fresh install anywas | 04:19 |
| iAmerikan | it's an openvpn log so obviously privacy is in mind | 04:19 |
| [Mew2] | this is a test server | 04:19 |
| ForSpareParts | nicomachus: what do you want me to try with my stream? | 04:19 |
| TJ- | private231: well at least its fixed now | 04:19 |
| [Mew2] | please whats the command | 04:20 |
| private231 | TJ-: :DDDD | 04:20 |
| nicomachus | ForSpareParts: try going down to windowed mode. | 04:20 |
| iAmerikan | sudo rm /var/log/openvpn.log | 04:20 |
| [Mew2] | ty | 04:20 |
| ForSpareParts | nicomachus: Is there a way to do that while the stream is running? | 04:20 |

| private231 | HIPHIP | 04:20 |
| ForSpareParts | Or do you mean, force the game itself into windowed mode on the host? | 04:20 |
| nicomachus | ForSpareParts: no you want to do it on the client. shift-tab may do it.. | 04:21 |
| ForSpareParts | nicomachus: No luck with shift-tab. | 04:21 |
| lapinozz | how can i reset every every webcam related package? | 04:21 |
| private231 | haha ok well sweet dreams TJ | 04:21 |

| beepie | omg | 04:22 |
| beepie | not that guy again | 04:22 |
| [Mew2] | i have to make the file manually? | 04:22 |
| [Mew2] | and what permissions do i give it | 04:22 |
| nicomachus | ForSpareParts: one moment, checking. | 04:22 |
| joeb3_ | [Mew2], restart openvpn. the file will get created. | 04:22 |
| [Mew2] | ok | 04:23 |
| iAmerikan | then to delete it next time just clear it | 04:23 |
| [Mew2] | worked thanks :) | 04:23 |
| iAmerikan | either sudo echo ' ' > /var/log/openvpn.log | 04:23 |
| ForSpareParts | nicomachus: Figured it out, it was alt-enter to go windowed. | 04:24 |
| iAmerikan | or sudo rm /var/log/openvpn.log && sudo touch $_ | 04:24 |
| ForSpareParts | nicomachus: The brightness problem persists. | 04:24 |
| [Mew2] | thanks | 04:26 |
| nicomachus | well... apparently the "power" button in steam big picture mode actually shuts down the system... | 04:28 |
| beepie | nicomachus, so? | 04:28 |
| nicomachus | ForSpareParts: what's the graphics chipset on the client? | 04:29 |
| ForSpareParts | nicomachus: According to lspci: Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 / R5 230 OEM | 04:31 |
| ForSpareParts | (I don’t remember which of those it actually is) | 04:31 |
| nicomachus | ForSpareParts: do you know if you're using the radeon or the fglrx driver? | 04:31 |
| ForSpareParts | radeon | 04:31 |
| ForSpareParts | I tried fglrx for a while, but at some point Kodi didn’t like it. Kodi’s been updated since, though, so maybe I should try my luck with fglrx again? | 04:32 |
| nicomachus | Ok. I'm looking at this: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/0/522728814097031600/ | 04:33 |
| nicomachus | regardless, I don't *think* it's an ubuntu issue. Probably a better question for Steam. You may be able to adjust gamma settings somewhere, though, to at least get a better picture. | 04:34 |
| ForSpareParts | nicomachus: I tried forcing the host into windowed earlier, just to see what happened — no effect. And Steam doesn’t seem to have gamma settings of its own, unfortunately. | 04:35 |
| ForSpareParts | If it is a Steam problem, that’s unfortunate. Their customer service is… not great. | 04:36 |
| ForSpareParts | Thanks for trying to help, though! | 04:36 |
| lettuce45 | i need a laptop with no bios, but freebios or similar, that can be edited | 04:36 |
| lettuce45 | please name models | 04:36 |
| iAmerikan | lettuce45: why | 04:37 |
| lettuce45 | to buy it | 04:37 |
| iAmerikan | ForSpareParts: could it be the video driver or xorg | 04:38 |
| ForSpareParts | iAmerikan: Possibly! If it were the video driver, I imagine I’d fix that by switching to fglrx, right? | 04:38 |
| ForSpareParts | Not sure what I’d do if it were an xorg problem. | 04:38 |

| phi0x | hey guys, i'm having issues with setting up a cronjob. the job runs fine via crontab -u user -e. when i run the script manually it works. but when running via crontab it doesnt. the script does this: sed -r "s/bind\s=\s[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}/bind = $CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0/g" /home/user/IP > /home/user/IP.tmp | 04:46 |
| squinty | lettuce45, http://www.coreboot.org/Support might be a starting point | 04:46 |
| phi0x | when crontab executes the script, it makes "bind = " as the output. when it should be "bind = x.x.x.x" | 04:47 |
| phi0x | earlier in the script i do create the variable CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0 as seen here: CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0=$(ifconfig | grep -A 1 tun0 | tail -1 | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1) | 04:48 |
| tomreyn | phi0x: dont parse "ifconfig" output, use "ip" | 04:56 |
| tomreyn | other than that maybe your issue is that by the time the command runs (early at boot?) the network interface you are looking for is not present or not up yet? | 04:56 |
| phi0x | tomreyn, i think i figured it out (at least one work around option) i added PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/user at the top of my script and it seemed to allow 'sed' to read the variable. | 04:57 |
| tomreyn | i was going to suggest modifying the executing shell and PATH next | 04:57 |
| tomreyn | ;) | 04:58 |
| === Arbition is now known as Arbiter | ||
| phi0x | im not sure why the PATH line needed to be added exactly..it works but im a bit confused why it's needed for 'sed' to read variables? the script itself has variables in it and bash seemed to read them just fine | 04:58 |
| phi0x | but sed apparently has issues reading variables inside scripts if crontab runs it? | 04:58 |
| tomreyn | also i would recommend using ${CURRENT_VPN_IP_TUN0} within the sed construct if you run it through a bash shell, just because i find it more readable | 04:59 |
| phi0x | tomreyn, what's that mean exactly? | 04:59 |
| tomreyn | the curly brackets indicate start end end of what is a variable and to be replaced there | 05:00 |
| ramenlicious | Can I run ubuntu iso in a virtual machine to install to a usb stick? | 05:00 |
| phi0x | ah kk | 05:00 |
| tomreyn | phi0x: while the following slash actually acts as a delimiter, indicating the variable ends there, aan alpha-numerical character would instead extend the variable name. | 05:01 |
| phi0x | ooo | 05:01 |
| tomreyn | ramenlicious: yes you can | 05:01 |
| tomreyn | ramenlicious: if you already run linux you can also just dd it, or use reawrite on windows | 05:02 |
| tomreyn | *rawwrite | 05:02 |
| ramenlicious | tomreyn: thanks i have tried unetbootin gnome-disks dd lili live-usb-creator and nothing works, even though it works on my other computer (same usb stick too!) so I'm at a loss. | 05:04 |
| Dylan____ | Hey guys so i this person on the fourm suggested to fix the black screen i install nvidia-340 nvidia-340-uvm | 05:04 |
| Dylan____ | I did that and rebooted and i got a black screen | 05:04 |
| Dylan____ | And he said my card was compatibile | 05:04 |
| ramenlicious | Ill try rawwrite' | 05:04 |
| Dylan____ | Heres the fourm link | 05:04 |
| Dylan____ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2308317 | 05:05 |
| Dylan____ | Does that mean i have to purge nvidia? | 05:06 |
| nicomachus | Dylan____: did you ever try nomodeset? | 05:06 |
| Dylan____ | Im tried nomodeset aswell and it didnt work | 05:06 |
| Dylan____ | Yeah | 05:06 |
| Dylan____ | Also i had problems there was weird graphics aswell like nautliaus would freeze and my computer would hang up and things | 05:08 |
| tomreyn | ramenlicious: how do you determine "does not work"= | 05:08 |
| Dylan____ | Ill try nomodeset again | 05:08 |
| tomreyn | ramenlicious: and how exactly did you try to do it with dd? | 05:09 |
| Dylan____ | Ahh | 05:10 |

| ramenlicious | tomreyn: yes ive been over that link for days, also grub2iso, won't boot (but this machine boots usb and can burn usb, thats how i got ubuntu installed in it | 05:10 |
| tomreyn | i hope you don't burn your usb ;) | 05:11 |
| ramenlicious | no big deal i'd just buy another but its a shame it doesnt work, i need it to fix my other computer | 05:11 |
| tomreyn | ramenlicious: which OS do you currently run there? | 05:12 |
| tomreyn | on your current computer, not the other one, which is broken | 05:12 |
| ramenlicious | this one is a minimal ubuntu install with openbox | 05:12 |
| ramenlicious | 15.10 | 05:13 |
| tomreyn | ramenlicious: hmm, openbox, is that gtk-based? i don't know | 05:13 |
| ramenlicious | yeah | 05:13 |
| Herp | ?> | 05:13 |
| tomreyn | ramenlicious: you did not try usb-creator, yet? or was it just missing from your list above? | 05:14 |
| tomreyn | *tried | 05:14 |
| tomreyn | actually i think that's QT based now, not gtk anymore | 05:14 |
| ramenlicious | tomreyn: did try it, it wouldnt even let me choose the iso so I couldnt even burn it (it's a documented bug on that wiki link) | 05:16 |
| muka | ramenlicious, I just log in, are you trying to boot from usb? | 05:17 |
| Dylan____ | I need support | 05:18 |
| nicomachus | You can do it, Dylan____! | 05:19 |
| Dylan____ | Trying to browse the web and my ubuntu desktop freezes | 05:19 |
| Dylan____ | Like it freezes for somereason and i keep having to turn it off at the switch | 05:19 |
| Dylan____ | Its never happened to me before so im not sure if its a glitch a bug in ubuntu | 05:20 |
| muka | ramenlicious, is your bios set to boot from usb? | 05:20 |
| tomreyn | ramenlicious: so what about the other options, how do they "not work"? | 05:22 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: which ubuntu version do you use, which grpahic hardware do you have, when did this issue start occurring, and wwhich changes have you made that may have made it occur? | 05:23 |
| ramenlicious | tomreyn: muka: I just remembered network install is not supported in usb, only cd. thats probably why it wont boot. I had this problem before; ended up installing server iso instead DOH!!! | 05:24 |
| ramenlicious | Ill download the server one and try it again | 05:24 |
| muka | Dylan____, have you check dmesg? | 05:24 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: if you don't know about the graphics card, run this: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA | 05:24 |
| muka | ramenlicious, I use debian and network install works, so I think ubuntu should work as well. | 05:26 |
| Dylan____ | Ok first of all i got ubuntu 14.04.3 and i started occuring this freezing after files manager nautailus would hang up now it doesnt and now firefox is hanging up on websites like google, youtube etc | 05:26 |
| Dylan____ | Its never happened before | 05:26 |
| Dylan____ | And ill pastebin contents back | 05:26 |
| === sweatsuit_ is now known as sweatsuit | ||
| Dylan____ | Http://paste.ubuntu.com/14383090/ thats the dmesg one | 05:28 |
| ramenlicious | muka if you know how, do let me know | 05:28 |
| tomreyn | muka / ramenlicious: there is no netinstall on ubuntu (anymore), at least not officially. | 05:28 |
| HappyHippie | if i install compiz on unity.. then i change desktops to MATE, will compiz be carried over to MATE? | 05:28 |
| ramenlicious | because the server iso is too big Id hate to re-download it again muka | 05:28 |
| tomreyn | there is mini.iso. though, which should work fine for this purpose. | 05:28 |
| ramenlicious | yes it's the mini iso im talking about, supposedly doesnt work from usb | 05:29 |
| muka | ramenlicious, sorry, but first is your bios set to boot from usb first? | 05:30 |
| tomreyn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD states it works from usb | 05:30 |
| ramenlicious | muka yes this laptop already has ubuntu on it which was installed from usb, and i hit f12 to boot from usb | 05:31 |
| Dylan____ | ahh the lspci knvv command you gave me whoever is not a command and it came up with 1 + stopped | 05:31 |
| ramenlicious | usb is first in boot order muka | 05:31 |
| Dylan____ | Ahh guys well i think i might have to switch browsers | 05:33 |
| Dylan____ | Firefox whyy u do this | 05:34 |
| muka | ok, now go to your working computer and copy iso to usb. dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sd?. where /dev/ you can find by sudo fdisk -l | 05:34 |
| HappyHippie | if i install compiz on unity.. then i change desktops to MATE, will compiz be carried over to MATE? | 05:35 |
| iAmerikan | you can also check dmesg immediatly after plugging in the usb | 05:35 |
| iAmerikan | HappyHippie: either way its installed, so if its not, you can run it manually or add it to an autostart. (i dont use either but this should apply either way) | 05:36 |
| Dylan____ | Guys when i right click on the desktop i highlight something and theres like pixlated sprite images and messed up things on it | 05:37 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: try again, you must have had a typo: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA | 05:40 |
| muka | Dylan____, I think you should research: nouveau W[ PCE0][0000:04:00.0] disabled, PCE0=1 to enable | 05:40 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: can we concentrate on fixing one issue at a time? i think your computer freezing, possibly due to the nourveau driver not being compatible to your graphics hardware, seems like a good initial target. | 05:41 |
| tomreyn | muka: that's a warning, there is actually an earlier error | 05:41 |
| tomreyn | or 2 | 05:41 |

| django_ | im doing an OOJ course on coursera, how can i get the latest java sdk? | 06:04 |
| tomreyn | and to you | 06:04 |
| tomreyn | there is the openjdk as packaged in ubuntu, which comes in multiple flavors, and there is oracles proprietary jdk | 06:05 |
| django_ | tomreyn, i do java -version | 06:06 |
| django_ | java version "1.7.0_91" | 06:06 |
| slidinghorn | django_: ^^ but beware, versions not in the repos arent supported here...see !ppa | 06:06 |
| cmdswitch | django_: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-java-on-ubuntu-with-apt-get | 06:06 |
| iAmerikan | what versio do you need | 06:06 |
| tomreyn | i'd try the openjdk first, only switch to oracles if it turns out not to work | 06:06 |
| django_ | it just says install the java JDK but they only have a guide for windows/mac | 06:07 |
| django_ | " In this class we have tested our files with Java versions 7 and 8, so if you have anything older than that, you’ll want to upgrade." | 06:07 |
| cmdswitch | django_, I provided a link to help you | 06:07 |
| iAmerikan | 1.7 is 7 iirc | 06:08 |
| iAmerikan | so don't worry about installing anything? | 06:08 |
| tomreyn | openjdk-8 is packaged for ubuntu, so no need to use oracles' packjages | 06:08 |
| slidinghorn | !java > django_ also message !latest and !ppa to ubottu | 06:08 |
| ubottu | django_, please see my private message | 06:08 |
| tomreyn | right, 1.87 is the same as 7 | 06:08 |
| tomreyn | right, 1.7 is the same as 7 | 06:08 |
| iAmerikan | then he doesn't need to install -- keep it simple | 06:09 |
| tomreyn | django_: so you should be good to go, nothing to do | 06:09 |
| iAmerikan | go forth and System.out.println("Conquer!\n"); | 06:09 |
| tomreyn | django_: actually you might just have the JRE but not the JDK installed. you can check whether you have the JDK by runniong: dpkg -l 'openjdk-7-*'| awk '/^i/ {print $2}' | 06:12 |
| django_ | tomreyn, "openjdk-7-jdk:amd64 | 06:13 |
| django_ | " | 06:13 |

| tomreyn | <tomreyn> Dylan____: which ubuntu version do you use, which graphics hardware do you have, when did this issue start occurring, and which changes have you made that may have made it occur? | 06:43 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> Dylan____: if you don't know about the graphics card, run this: sudo lspci -knnv | grep -A10 VGA | 06:43 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 06:44 |
| Dylan____ | I run ubuntu 14.04lts i have a nvidia 320m this started occuring when i tried to move files and as far as i know i dont remember making changes or editing something | 06:44 |

| tomreyn | thse are the errors you have in your kernel log | 06:45 |
| zacwalls | So I downloaded and burned kali live to a disk and I was looking to dual boot that and my current OS (Ubuntu) But my problem is that I partitioned all of my HDD during install. I did however set up LVM. So maybe I can resize? | 06:45 |
| tomreyn | mick_: no problem | 06:46 |
| Dylan____ | Ok | 06:46 |
| Dylan____ | I brought up my lspci thingy | 06:46 |
| Dylan____ | Let me paste bin it | 06:46 |
| zacwalls | :/ sorry | 06:47 |
| tomreyn | zacwalls: yes you can resize, it's not that easy, though, and you need to take backups before you do this | 06:49 |
| zacwalls | tomreyn backup what? | 06:49 |
| mick_ | so i was trying the ctrl+alt+F1 SO WHEN I LOG IN WAS SHOULD I PUT. WHEN I DID PRESS THOSE KEYS THIS WINDOW THAT WE ARE COMMUNICATING ON, DISAPPEARS | 06:49 |
| tomreyn | zacwalls: the data on your computer that you would like to be able to restore in case you, say, break a partition during an attamept to resize things. | 06:50 |
| dylan | here you go tomy | 06:50 |
| dylan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14383746/ | 06:50 |
| Dylan____ | See if that helps | 06:51 |
| zacwalls | tomreyn, OK, I don't have any important data. So, do I use GParted or something? | 06:51 |
| tomreyn | mick_: you can switch back to the graphical display by pressing either ctrl-alt-f7 or -f8. | 06:51 |
| tomreyn | mick_: the reason i suggested top login on the text interface was to make sure you can actually login fine. apparently you can. | 06:52 |
| tomreyn | mick_: do you have a separate computer which works fine? | 06:52 |
| mick_ | NO SORRY THIS IS IT | 06:53 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: thanks. so the question i asked earlier which you have not really answered concretely, yet, is whether you every had ubuntu running reliably and stable, without things freezing, on this computer. | 06:53 |
| tomreyn | mick_: you mean you only have this one, right? | 06:54 |
| Dylan____ | I had it running stable | 06:54 |
| ultrav1olet | How can I know if dmix is being used on a system where PulseAudio is enabled? | 06:54 |
| mick_ | yes | 06:54 |
| Dylan____ | Like im never had a problem with ubuntu | 06:54 |
| Dylan____ | Until some how today | 06:54 |
| Dylan____ | Im kinda a noob when it comes to linux | 06:55 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: but didn't you experience the same issues yesterday? | 06:56 |
| Dylan____ | No | 06:56 |
| tomreyn | okay, mixed it up then, sorry | 06:56 |
| tomreyn | for how long was it running stable? | 06:56 |
| Dylan____ | That was like nvidia drivers things i had to purge nvidia to get a working desktop enviro,emt | 06:56 |
| Dylan____ | It was running stable since i downloaded it on my macbook pro | 06:56 |
| tomreyn | mick_: okay, so i would suggest you try to look up on the ubuntu documentation how to reset unity. that'S the graphical desktop environment which ubuntu provides | 06:57 |
| tomreyn | mick_: that way you should be able to login fine using your standard user account again | 06:57 |
| tomreyn | i don't know how to do it myself, so woul dhave to searhc as well | 06:58 |
| zacwalls | tomreyn, So, would I use GParted the program or the bootable flash drive ISO version? | 06:59 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: roughly for how long ago did you run the current ubuntu release on this macbook pro fine? | 06:59 |
| Dylan____ | 2 days ago | 06:59 |
| tomreyn | zacwalls: bootable media | 06:59 |
| zacwalls | tomreyn, damn, so if I resize, what is the risk I screw everything? | 07:00 |
| tomreyn | zacwalls: i'm not sure it would work, though. i know you can do it without rebooting on the command line, and i did it before, but it's not easy when you have never done it. | 07:00 |
| tomreyn | zacwalls: pretty high ;) depends on how often you did it before. | 07:00 |
| zacwalls | tomreyn, will you walk me through? | 07:01 |
| zacwalls | I am kinda freaked out now lol | 07:01 |
| tomreyn | zacwalls: if you'll do it manually you'll need to take into account that there are several layers you need to resize. first you need to shrink the file system, then the logical volume it is on. then you can add another locical volume and create the other file system there. | 07:01 |
| tomreyn | since there are other people looking for help currently i don't think i can walk you through in more detail currently | 07:02 |
| === uber is now known as Guest1996 | ||
| zacwalls | tomreyn :/ ok | 07:03 |

| === GabeN is now known as SpyCrab | ||
| Dylan____ | So tomreyn what have u come up with | 07:05 |
| mick_ | OK, i will look for it and try. thanks | 07:05 |
| tomreyn | if you want to do it manually, you would use resize2fs to resize the file system, then either lvreduce or lvresizeto shrink the lv. then lvcreate to create a new lv, then "lvchange -a y" to activate it, and then you possible want to create a file system there (i forgot the overall goal you had) using mkfs.ext4 | 07:05 |
| tomreyn | zacwalls: ^ | 07:06 |
| zacwalls | tomreyn, the goal was to install kali | 07:06 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: 2 days sin't exactly long, i'm willing to assume that this issue existed right from the start, but maybe did not trigger then | 07:06 |
| Dylan____ | Well idk | 07:07 |
| tomreyn | zacwalls: ah, then that part is off-topic here and i discussed all the preparatory steps. good luck! | 07:07 |
| tomreyn | mick_: good luck1 | 07:07 |
| Dylan____ | But my graphics had like fuzzy weird shaped things when rightclicked | 07:07 |
| zacwalls | tomreyn, Yeah, I am not that advanced lol. I might ask in kali | 07:08 |
| Dylan____ | The system settings were all highlighted when i moved my mouse over the icons | 07:08 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: during those 2 days after the installation, you say? | 07:08 |
| Dylan____ | No | 07:08 |
| Dylan____ | It happened today | 07:08 |
| Dylan____ | Before those two days it was all fine | 07:08 |
| tomreyn | zacwalls: and good luck to you, too | 07:08 |
| zacwalls | tomreyn, thx :) | 07:08 |
| tomreyn | Dylan____: but you made no major changes during these two days? | 07:08 |
| tomreyn | like switch graphics drivers or upgrading ubuntu or the like? | 07:09 |

| con-fused | I tried to delete all files/folder within a folder by running rm -rf * is this the correct way to do so? | 08:29 |
| RudyValencia | OK so I'm setting up ubuntu-mate on my box but I have no idea where to mount the remainder of my secondary hard drive that is not devoted to swap | 08:30 |
| zacwalls | This is really infuriating. Can anyone give me a solution? BTW, I do already have Kali installed. http://imgur.com/Y2BH9wH | 08:31 |
| tomreyn | con-fused: a better way is to cd one level up and to use "rm -rf subdirectory" | 08:33 |
| con-fused | tomreyn: but rm -rf * won't wipe my root right? | 08:34 |
| Ben64 | con-fused: depends where you run it | 08:34 |
| tomreyn | con-fused: depends on where you run it. | 08:34 |
| con-fused | I ran in it in a random project directory in my home folder | 08:34 |
| con-fused | *ran it | 08:34 |
| con-fused | so theoretically it should only wipe the project directory right? | 08:35 |
| tomreyn | then only that directory and the files in there may or may not have been deleted. | 08:35 |
| tomreyn | that's because * does not match hidden files and directrories (starting with a dot) | 08:35 |
| nchambers | does rm follow symlinks? | 08:36 |
| tomreyn | no, it deletes them | 08:37 |
| tomreyn | RudyValencia: you could mount it to a subdirectory, such as ~/data or ~/Downloads | 08:38 |
| RudyValencia | tomreyn, this box will be joined to a Windows NT domain so that may not be the best | 08:39 |
| RudyValencia | (though I'm technically the only user) | 08:39 |
| tomreyn | RudyValencia: how's that related to where you mount a file system from a different disk? | 08:40 |

| ducasse | ufk_: there is a program called 'badblocks' in the e2fsprogs package | 09:34 |
| ufk_ | thanks | 09:34 |
| reveredge | cisc, in nautilus there is an arrow shown right to the name of the drive | 09:35 |
| ducasse | pragdheesh: try #ubuntu-offtopic, this is a support channel | 09:35 |
| reveredge | cisc, I clicked that | 09:35 |
| reveredge | cisc, that probably is unmount | 09:35 |
| reveredge | cisc, lsusb is showing the name of the drive | 09:35 |

| reveredge | cisc, but lsblk or fdisk are not showing | 09:36 |
| reveredge | cisc, they are only showing mounted partitions | 09:36 |
| cisc | that sounds like eject, not unmount | 09:36 |
| reveredge | cisc whats the difference then | 09:37 |
| cisc | which still unmounts, but you won't be able to mount it again until you pull the USB key out & re-insert it | 09:37 |
| cisc | http://i.stack.imgur.com/wOPxz.png | 09:37 |
| reveredge | cisc, thats fine... but since lsusb is detecting the device then there should be some way to connect it? | 09:40 |
| cisc | reveredge: you can use umount or sync from the command line if you are planning on re-inserting the USB key | 09:45 |
| cisc | reveredge: what you are wanting to do probably can't be done unless you restart the USB port the device is on, which gets into another technical level | 09:47 |
| reveredge | cisc, usb port can be restarted from command line | 09:47 |
| cisc | the device node gets wiped out when you eject it from Nautilus | 09:48 |
| cisc | reveredge: you could give this a try `eject /dev/sdb; sleep 1; eject -t /dev/sdb` | 09:50 |
| guest-m1LnUb | my keyboard layout is bugged | 09:50 |

| HappyHippie | hi guys... I've read that it's possible to back up my /root partition to an external drive.. then in the future incase i need to reinstall my OS i can copy my backedup /root to my new install is this true??? | 09:54 |
| Ben64 | HappyHippie: yes, but kind of pointless, just backup your /home | 09:56 |
| HappyHippie | oops thats what i meant | 09:56 |
| HappyHippie | thank you Ben64 | 09:56 |
| Ben64 | no problem | 09:56 |
| HappyHippie | so how would i paste my backed up /home to my new install? | 09:56 |
| Ben64 | i would use rsync to back up, and could use rsync to restore too | 09:57 |
| akik | reveredge: i have the same problem. i've gotten as far as that i can query the usb stick with "udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sdb" but don't know how to get the /dev/sdb device back without plugging it back again | 09:57 |
| HappyHippie | cant i do a GUI copy by rightclicking it and pasteing it into my external drive? | 09:57 |
| akik | reveredge: this is under kubuntu 14.04.3 | 09:58 |
| Ben64 | HappyHippie: i suppose, but rsync is faster/better and it will only copy the files it needs to | 09:58 |
| HappyHippie | great! thanks again Ben64 | 09:58 |
| Ben64 | HappyHippie: like suppose you back up every month. you could copy the entire /home every time, or you can just copy the changed/new files. thats where rsync really shines | 09:59 |
| guest-m1LnUb | my keyboard layout bugged ,how can i change it ? | 09:59 |

| guest-m1LnUb | my keyboard layout bugged ,how can i change it ? i use lubuntu | 10:09 |
| Ben64 | Peyam: yeah because it's likely using mtp, its not really mounted | 10:10 |
| no_sound | HappyHippie: yes, it works in windows 10 | 10:10 |
| Peyam | Ben64, this is showing mtp://[usb:002,013]/ | 10:10 |
| k1l | Peyam: when nautilus mounts it with gvfs then its not in /media | 10:10 |
| Peyam | Ben64, so how do I address it? | 10:10 |
| Ben64 | Peyam: copy the files to your computer first | 10:10 |
| HappyHippie | have you tried playing with audio properties? | 10:10 |
| Peyam | Ben64, that's why Im tring to avoid | 10:10 |
| Peyam | nooo. you are right | 10:11 |
| Peyam | i copy it instead | 10:11 |
| Ben64 | Peyam: well you can't always get what you want. you can double click them and it might work in totem, but totem is an inferior media player | 10:11 |

| footer | How do I wipe it? | 10:35 |
| ikonia | footer: you have to do it with the usb in | 10:36 |
| footer | ikonia: you mean with usb mounted? | 10:36 |
| ikonia | no, unmount the USB, but leave it plugged in | 10:36 |
| ikonia | although if you're going to wipe it, who cares if it's mounted or not | 10:37 |
| footer | ikonia: ofc i left it in :( | 10:37 |
| ikonia | footer: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 10:37 |
| footer | okay | 10:37 |
| footer | ikonia: https://bpaste.net/show/e05aee55905d | 10:38 |
| ikonia | footer: so "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc" doesn't work ? | 10:38 |

| ikonia | footer: thats nothign to do with it being mounted | 10:39 |
| footer | when unmounted | 10:39 |
| footer | I see | 10:39 |
| ikonia | thats more likley the USB has hit it's maximum "write" count | 10:40 |
| ikonia | footer: lets do a test | 10:40 |
| footer | sure | 10:40 |
| ikonia | footer: where is it mounted ? | 10:40 |
| footer | ikonia: /media | 10:40 |
| footer | /media/HP_something | 10:40 |
| ikonia | footer: ok, so "sudo umount /media/HP_something" | 10:41 |

| ikonia | what EXACTLY did you do to unmount it | 10:45 |
| footer | I thought unmounting with nautilius was same as umount command | 10:45 |

| footer | aha okay | 10:48 |
| footer | what umount does then? | 10:48 |
| ikonia | and again - I told you how to unmount it | 10:48 |
| ikonia | is there a reason I've told you how to do it, and you've done a different thing 2 times now | 10:48 |
| ikonia | it's getting a bit tedious to give you the info for you then to ignore it and do something different | 10:48 |
| footer | ikonia: I have done exactly what you have asked me this time | 10:49 |
| ikonia | footer: why did you not do it the first 2 times | 10:49 |
| footer | I did a sudo umount /dev/sdc; sudo fdisk -l; sudo mount | 10:49 |
| ikonia | it's getting tedious to waste my time | 10:49 |
| ikonia | thats not what I told you to do | 10:49 |
| footer | oho I didn't do it only once, just the first time | 10:49 |
| ikonia | sorry, I think it's pointless to continue this, you're not paying attention to what I tell you to do | 10:50 |

| remmona_dash | is there a 64bit liveusb with nvidia-binary shipped with | 11:29 |
| k1l_ | remmona_dash: the live dvd should use the nvidia driver | 11:31 |
| remmona_dash | k1l_, non of canonical drivitives have nvidia binary blob installed | 11:32 |
| remmona_dash | all are noveau | 11:32 |
| remmona_dash | are you sure? | 11:32 |
| k1l_ | you talk about the live system or after the install? | 11:32 |
| k1l_ | after the install, no. you will need to manually choose to install the nvidia (which is pretty easy in system settings) | 11:33 |
| Aqui1a | !fstab | 11:33 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 11:33 |
| sienez | I'm trying to recover my encrypted home dir from a live cd using ecryptfs-recover-private. I have successfully provided my mount passphrase and mounted the private partition in tmp/ecryptfs.somestring. however when I try to cd into the directory, I get permission denied. can anyone help please? | 11:34 |
| Aqui1a | I've having trouble finding out what options I should use while adding my storage hard drive to fstab. Does anyone have any advice? | 11:36 |
| === EckyEcky is now known as KnightsOfNi | ||
| sienez | nvm, I had to change to root manually since sudo cd didn't work. I'm in the dir now :) | 11:38 |
| ikonia | sudo cd will never work | 11:39 |
| ikonia | as the sudo shell will exit the second it's changed directory | 11:39 |
| sienez | ikonia, thx, didn't know that | 11:40 |
| sienez | When I mount an encrypted home dir using ecryptfs, how can I view the contents in plaintext? all I see is some random strings | 11:42 |
| bekks | sienez: Then you didnt mount it correctly yet. | 11:43 |
| remmona_dash | I am looking for an 64 livecd with nvidia binary installed in it. | 11:43 |
| ikonia | sienez: if you've decryped it when you mount it, then it will just appear as a file system | 11:44 |
| sienez | bekks, what did I do wrong? ecryptfs asked me if I knew my LOGIN password, I entered no and instead I provided the mount password, after which I got a success message | 11:44 |
| ikonia | remmona_dash: ubuntu doesn't ship one | 11:44 |
| bekks | remmona_dash: You wont find one, because Nvidia prohibits to distribute the driver like that. Whats the actual issue behind your request? | 11:44 |
| bekks | sienez: There is no such thing as a "mount password". | 11:44 |
| sienez | bekks, I mean the passphrase used to encrypt it in the first place | 11:45 |
| remmona_dash | we have such things. ubuntu-variants and such. | 11:45 |
| sienez | ikonia, how do I decrypt it? | 11:45 |
| bekks | remmona_dash: Who is "we"? | 11:45 |
| remmona_dash | but I can't find one. google is not my friend in this case? | 11:47 |
| ikonia | remmona_dash: you're not allowed to distribute it | 11:47 |
| remmona_dash | bekks, it is he community sir; | 11:47 |
| ikonia | remmona_dash: thats why ubuntu doesn't have one | 11:47 |
| remmona_dash | ok | 11:47 |
| bekks | remmona_dash: the ubuntu community does not ship what you are searching for, because it would be illegal to do so. | 11:47 |

| remmona_dash | anyhow. I got the point | 11:49 |
| remmona_dash | I can't find one | 11:49 |
| ikonia | remmona_dash: because one doesn't exist, as you've been told in #ubuntu #fedora ##linux | 11:49 |
| bekks | sienez: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/ecryptfs.html | 11:50 |
| remmona_dash | ikonia, well no blame for one who is in search of something. is it? | 11:51 |
| bekks | remmona_dash: And in case you are talking about the CAINE livecd - it is totally unrelated to Ubuntu. | 11:51 |
| bekks | remmona_dash: you have been told the SAME answer for three times. It will not change upon further requests. | 11:52 |
| ikonia | remmona_dash: when you keep being told "one doesn't exist" and ignoring it, yes, you can be blamed for not listening | 11:52 |

| sisve | I've got a several virtual servers on a public network, and would like to limit these to only be able to communicate with each other. I often add/remove servers and I'm too lazy to iterate through all machines to rebuild an iptables script to limit access using src/dest ips. Is there an easy way to allowing servers to communicate with each other without needing to reconfigure existing servers when new are added? | 15:23 |
| cfhowlett | sisve, better to ask #ubuntu-server | 15:24 |
| Hakon | are they on a common subnet? | 15:24 |
| MonkeyDust | sisve if you work with virtual machine networks alot, consider using vagrant | 15:25 |
| sisve | Hakon: I'm not sure what you would consider a "common subnet". This is a "private network" in our hosting, and it's "private" as in only within that datacenter, but all customers share the same "private network". | 15:26 |
| sisve | So it's not really that private... | 15:26 |
| sisve | cfhowlett: I'll do that. | 15:26 |
| Hakon | sisve: so you can't do the limiting with a subnet mask? | 15:26 |
| sisve | Hakon: Correct, ip addresses are spread out over a large subnet and mixed with other customers addresses. | 15:27 |

| regedit | for those not in #linux i'll repost: | 15:46 |
| regedit | i was using cfdisk to delete some Windows partitions, but i also hit the "Sort Partitions" button (why??...) now my linux partitions sdb2 (EFI) sdb5 (Kubuntu) and sdb6 (Swap) became sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 | 15:46 |
| regedit | is this terrible? or can the currently running OS tolerate these partition number changes? | 15:46 |
| regedit | what about grub & such, will they magically know to work with the new partition numbers instead of the old ones? | 15:47 |

| nenis43 | Currently I'm using 64 bit Ubuntu MATE. However, I want to DL Xubuntu. | 15:48 |
| dankan | regedit: update the fstab and update grub and all should be fine i think | 15:48 |
| regedit | schiddt | 15:48 |
| nenis43 | When I go to the DL page I see 64 bit is for AMD chips and 32 bit is for Intel chips. | 15:48 |
| nenis43 | I have an Intel chip but want 64 bit. What to do? | 15:48 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, common misunderstanding. use the 64 bit amd - works fine with intel 64 | 15:49 |
| MonkeyDust | nenis43 it's just a name, i have ubuntu 64bit on intel too | 15:49 |
| nenis43 | why then do they call it AMD? | 15:49 |
| regedit | dankan: ok, how can i know for sure? i want to be sure before i reboot... | 15:49 |
| MonkeyDust | nenis43 it's a left-over from the past | 15:49 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, historical reasons. don't sweat it | 15:49 |
| nenis43 | OK. I'm dling the 64 bit. But notice this: | 15:49 |
| nenis43 | "For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors. Choose this if you are at all unsure" | 15:49 |
| anonyuser | It must be a common question but... which one? http://imgur.com/SLXX6vp | 15:50 |
| nenis43 | They should fix this because it's misleading users into getting the 32 bit. | 15:50 |
| nenis43 | That's what it says next to the 32-bit image. | 15:50 |

| nenis43 | By the way, I downloaded an ISO of Linux Mint and then made a bootable USB using Startup Disk Creator. But unlike the USB stick I got from OS Disc for Ubuntu MATE, the USB I made of Linux Mint wouldn't boot, wouldn't install. Why would that be? | 15:52 |
| MonkeyDust | nenis43 mibnt is different distro, ask the mint guys | 15:52 |
| nenis43 | I made this USB stick within Ubuntu MATE. | 15:52 |
| regedit | dankan: (i responded in PM) if you are new to IRC i have a hard time trusting your linux knowledge :D | 15:52 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, ask mint. not an ubuntu issue | 15:52 |
| nenis43 | It's a ubuntu issue because I made the USB in Ubuntu. | 15:53 |
| nenis43 | cfhowlett, Also, Mint is just another flavor of Ubuntu. | 15:53 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, it is NOT ubuntu hbowever. | 15:53 |
| cfhowlett | !flavors | nenis43 | 15:53 |
| ubottu | nenis43: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | nenis43 like ubuntu is a dbian flavor, you mean? | 15:54 |
| MonkeyDust | debian* | 15:54 |
| wrksx | lol | 15:54 |
| nenis43 | Honestly, there's very little difference between Mint and Ubuntu. And the fact remains that I made the USB stick using Disk Creator IN Ubuntu. | 15:54 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, see mint's directions for creating a stick. they do NOT say "use ubuntu" and this is not an ubuntu issue. | 15:55 |
| MonkeyDust | nenis43 not that discussion again | 15:55 |
| nenis43 | So I can make a bootable USB for Xubuntu from Ubuntu MATE but not for Linux Mint? | 15:56 |
| nenis43 | So if I do the same steps for Xubuntu the bootable USB should work? | 15:56 |
| dankan | regedit: well do what you will , but read this ;p https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoveMountpointHowto | 15:56 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, see the list of flavors -- those are officially supported buntus and yes, you can create other ubuntus from any official ubuntu flavor | 15:57 |
| regedit | my fstab doesnt seem to mention partitions (except in comments) but rather UUIDs, is that helpful? | 15:57 |
| regedit | dankan ^ | 15:57 |
| nenis43 | cfhowlett, I'm going to do the same thing I did to try to make the bootable Mint USB. You think the same steps should work? I just DL'd the ISO for Xubuntu. | 15:57 |
| cfhowlett | !mint | nenis43, I don't speak mint nor use it. | 15:58 |
| ubottu | nenis43, I don't speak mint nor use it.: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 15:58 |
| nenis43 | Now I'm erasing my USB drive using Startup Disk Creator. Then I am telling it to make it a bootable image. | 15:58 |
| dankan | regedit: it uses uuid by default in ubuntu, you can use gnome-disk-tool or "disks" to check if uuid is right | 15:58 |
| nenis43 | cfhowlett, I'm trying to make a XUBUNTU boot disk. | 15:58 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, but I use the ubuntu startup disk creator all the time and it has never failed with any of the *buntus | 15:58 |
| nenis43 | cfhowlett, What benefits shall I notice when using Xubuntu vs Ubuntu MATE? | 15:59 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, different DE and different default apps. | 15:59 |
| dankan | regedit: if fstab is setup right , and grub sees the system , it should boot imo but im no wizard | 15:59 |
| nenis43 | cfhowlett, I heard that Ubuntu really only cares about Unity. Does Ubuntu receive much more resources and care than the other flavors? | 16:01 |
| TheEagerPadawan | how do i clear my dns cache? | 16:02 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, they are all buntus but I think we can safely consider ubuntu/unity the flagship version ... a qualified "yes" to your question. | 16:02 |
| regedit | (whoops disconnected) | 16:04 |
| nenis43 | cfhowlett, What is the advantage of 64-bit Ubuntu over 32-bit? They say 32 is better for older, slower machines. | 16:04 |
| blackbeard | the key difference is it's got half as many bits | 16:04 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, true. but then 32 bit machines are also going the way of the dodo. if your machine is 64 bit capable, use 64 bit. | 16:05 |
| nenis43 | What advantages shall I notice with the 64 bit? | 16:05 |
| TheEagerPadawan | you can use more then 4GB of ram for starters | 16:05 |
| ikonia | nenis43: what is the spec of your machine ? | 16:05 |
| regedit | if the partition numbers of my system have been changed, will EFI / grub / fstab find everything upon reboot (my fstab uses UUIDs) ? | 16:05 |
| nenis43 | 4GB ram and 3805U Pentium | 16:06 |
| ikonia | nenis43: then you're not going to see anything visibly different either way | 16:06 |
| regedit | also, how is my system continuing to function right now if the system & swap partitions have changed numbers ?? | 16:06 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, But if I have 8GB of ram then only 4 is recognized by 32 bit Ubuntu? | 16:06 |
| regedit | i have not unmounted/mounted anything | 16:06 |
| ikonia | nenis43: correct | 16:06 |
| dankan | regedit: it uses UUID , if it didnt change (check them with "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid" ) then why not | 16:06 |
| === imrekt is now known as imrekt-away | ||
| regedit | dankan: ok... sounds like there's hope. do i need to update-grub? or might that actually be destructive at this point | 16:08 |
| cfhowlett | !64bit | nenis43 | 16:08 |
| ubottu | nenis43: AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. Consider using 64-bit if your memory ussage exceeds 4GB. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 16:08 |
| dankan | regedit: back up your old grub config and update, it may be destructive only to your old config ;D | 16:09 |
| nenis43 | I can tell already I don't like Xubuntu because the developers mislead people into thinking they should DL the 32-bit version. But if I did that and had 8GB of ram, then I would be running with only 4GB. | 16:09 |
| regedit | ok thanks dankan | 16:09 |
| ikonia | nenis43: nope | 16:09 |
| regedit | still curious about the IRC thing tho :) | 16:09 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, You said if I use the 32-bit version only up to 4GB of ram is recognized. | 16:10 |
| ikonia | nenis43: where are the developer missleading you | 16:10 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, Let me show you | 16:10 |

| nenis43 | ikonia, http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/xubuntu-releases/15.10/release/ | 16:10 |
| nenis43 | Read what it says. | 16:11 |
| ikonia | nenis43: "Choose this if you are at all unsure" | 16:11 |
| anonyuser | http://pastebin.com/sY4hNqQh fglrx failure at last paragraph? | 16:11 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, yes. choose the 32-bit if at all unsure. | 16:11 |
| ikonia | correct | 16:11 |
| ikonia | that is good advice, in in doubt, be safe | 16:11 |
| cfhowlett | nenis43, nothing misleading at all | 16:12 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, But most people these days have more than 4GB of ram | 16:12 |
| ikonia | nenis43: no they don't and as you've seen "in unsure" | 16:12 |
| nenis43 | then they use the 32-bit version and wonder why their ram isn't being recognized. | 16:12 |
| ikonia | unsure | 16:12 |
| regedit | dankan: see altho the partition number changes have been written to disk, i think the yet-running "online" system is currently still going with the anterior fstab mounts, so will update-grub not mess up as a result? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | no they won't | 16:12 |
| ikonia | nenis43: how about you worry about yourself | 16:12 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, I almost DL'd that version myself. | 16:13 |

| cfhowlett | nenis43, wait your complaining about what you ALMOST did? lame. | 16:13 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, I have another 12GB sitting in packages that I may wish to install. | 16:13 |
| nenis43 | then I would be wondering why my ram is not posting. | 16:13 |
| ikonia | nenis43: no you wouldn't | 16:13 |
| ikonia | as if you know how to query your ram you would know if your machine is 64bit | 16:13 |
| ikonia | so lets stop this pointless dicussion, the wording is there as a fail safe for people who don't know and don't know how to find out | 16:14 |
| === anonyuser is now known as Socrates_0 | ||
| nenis43 | ikonia, I know my machine is 64-bit, but that there has me thinking the 64-bit is for AMD chips. | 16:14 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, Why confuse the end user like that? | 16:14 |
| ikonia | nenis43: then you are unsure | 16:14 |
| ikonia | and should have downloaded the 32bit version for not being sure | 16:14 |
| ikonia | nenis43: talk to intel, they confused the user like that by using an instruction set called amd64 | 16:14 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, then my machine would not recognize the ram I install when I upgrade to 8GB.. | 16:14 |
| ikonia | nenis43: correct, | 16:14 |
| nenis43 | ikonia, That's why I said I already don't like Xubuntu and I haven't even loaded it.. | 16:15 |
| nenis43 | They are already confusing me and limiting my experience. | 16:15 |
| ikonia | nenis43: and if you read the page you're quoting, you'd see it tells you to use the 64bit amd version if you have intel based chipset | 16:15 |
| dankan | regedit: well if fstab says that for example your root (/) partition is on "UUID=9335dfb5-723d-4b85-99c3-5501eb84994f" (that one is mine) and its the same uuid it shows you in for example grub , it has no reason to not work , if you are not sure just rewrite it for your new disk labels | 16:15 |
| ikonia | nenis43: so you are really your own problem for not reading the amd64 wording as well as you did the 32bit one | 16:15 |
| dankan | regedit: not grub . gparted*;p | 16:16 |
| nenis43 | "Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the i386 images instead." | 16:16 |
| OerHeks | nenis43, so our development says 32 bit is a safe version, that works on every machine, didn't it work on yours ? | 16:16 |
| nenis43 | How would I know my Pentium processor is supported? | 16:16 |
| ikonia | nenis43: correct | 16:16 |
| ikonia | nenis43: em64, core 2, xeon, | 16:16 |
| ikonia | nenis43: the correct wording, | 16:16 |
| nenis43 | It's not one of one. | 16:16 |
| ikonia | and it says "eg:" for example | 16:16 |
| nenis43 | It's not one of those. | 16:16 |
| ikonia | nenis43: it is, | 16:16 |
| ikonia | nenis43: lets stop this now, you are trying to cause a problem | 16:17 |
| nenis43 | Anyway, I've decided to overlook Xubuntu. | 16:17 |
| nenis43 | I don't need the devs trying to make things difficult on the end user. | 16:17 |
| ikonia | you didn't get the wrong version, no problem, you can use whatever version you want | 16:17 |
| ikonia | ok, good, use whatever works well for you | 16:17 |
| dankan | regedit: if you have an live usb/cd you can always mess around, especially if you have a separete root and home partition | 16:22 |
| regedit | ok phew rebooted successfully | 16:26 |
| dankan | regedit: well done :P | 16:26 |
| regedit | didnt do anything really in the end | 16:26 |
| regedit | seems like everything was going by UUID, and they didnt change | 16:27 |
| Daekdroom | ... Doesn't Ubuntu use a PAE kernel these days, meaning even 32-bit systems can address over 4GB RAM (with a few exceptions, I think Pentium M, which is the most recent 32-bit processor to not support PAE) | 16:27 |
| OerHeks | Daekdroom, yes, it does | 16:28 |
| Daekdroom | OerHeks, which sort of makes the whole discussion above moot. | 16:28 |
| akik | the limit with 32-bit systems was with the process size. i dunno what has changed | 16:29 |
| ikonia | still there | 16:29 |
| regedit | the question now is; how can i 1) move the EFI back to the start of the drive 2) reclaim the unused space from the windows partition to the ubuntu OS 3) swap is currently at the very end of the drive, should it stay there? | 16:30 |
| OerHeks | Daekdroom, i agree with 'our developers' that the 32 bit should run without issues.. except: non-PAE processors might have issues running the 32 bit version. | 16:30 |
| BluesKaj | regedit: don't be too concerned about automatic /dev/sdX changes when removing partitions, I've never had any boot problems after removing one. Just make sure you have 2 grubs installed, one for each OS | 16:30 |
| BluesKaj | or one for each OS | 16:30 |
| dankan | regedit: if it doesnt trigger your OCD the partitions can be in whatever order on the disk | 16:31 |
| regedit | heh | 16:31 |
| regedit | but well the whole idea here is i'm removing windows | 16:32 |
| regedit | and would like to reclaim the space for ubuntu | 16:32 |
| regedit | and EFI is moved into the drive a bit (windows needed some preliminary partition 0 which is now gone) OCD dictates i should move the EFI to the start of the drive | 16:33 |
| dankan | regedit: you can move/resize partitions in gparted but it takes time | 16:33 |
| regedit | this is an SSD here | 16:33 |
| regedit | so hopefully not too much time i guess | 16:34 |
| regedit | KDE Partition manager is just as good? | 16:34 |

| razvan | Hi guys.. asking this question again, hoping for better luck this time! :) Do you know if there is any way to use bcrypt+SHA256 as hashing algorithm? Using 14.04, I installed and configured libpam_unix2, and am now using bcrypt. Is there any way to have bcrypt+sha256 instead? | 16:35 |
| dankan | regedit: so it sucks up your write cycles xD you can move efi to the beggining of the disk ,and move ubuntu to the empty space and resize it over it | 16:35 |
| Guest63840 | #ubuntu | 16:35 |
| regedit | oh hm seems i might nont be able to do it while system is running, will have to use Live CD i guess | 16:35 |
| regedit | hello Guest63840 and welcome to the #ubuntu chatroom! | 16:35 |
| BluesKaj | regedit: the kde partition editor mucked up my partitions once by crashing in the middle of changes, install gparted it's much better | 16:36 |
| regedit | hm | 16:36 |
| regedit | ok | 16:36 |
| ikonia | razvan: wouldn't you have to rebuild brycpt to be aware of a library that can generate that hash ? is bycrypt even supported with sha256 ? | 16:36 |
| regedit | ok then rebooting to live image, thanks guys | 16:36 |
| dankan | regedit: i honestly dont think there is that much difference between partition programs but gparted has good rep for what it does | 16:36 |
| BluesKaj | dankan: have you tried kpartitione editor , even as a kde user I wouldn't recommend it | 16:38 |
| razvan | ikonia: I don't think so.. It's simply a matter of running the password through SHA256, and then through bcrypt. It should be transparent to bcrypt. It's basically bcrypt(SHA256(password)) -- see here for a Python implementation which also touches upon why this is a good idea (password truncation): https://pythonhosted.org/passlib/lib/passlib.hash.bcrypt_sha256.html | 16:39 |
| dankan | BluesKaj: dont get me started on kde , i loved it in 3.X and 4.X but the unstability is too much for me | 16:40 |
| razvan | ikonia: my "I don't think so" statement refers to your first question, not the second :) Sorry, I'm tired | 16:40 |
| BluesKaj | dankan: I love kde, but like all other DEs it's not perfect | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj | dankan: just closer to perfect than most ;-) | 16:42 |
| dankan | BluesKaj: I mean , i love KDE because its customizable and since gnome 3 , unity or others are out its pretty light and works smoothly, but i cant count the times i installed kubuntu and had kde just break after updates on clean install ;p | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj | dankan: do you have exotic HW ? | 16:44 |
| dankan | BluesKaj: but KDE seems the only distro focused on being a desktop rather than tablet/pc hybrid and i always liked that. also the multiple, or different style clocks. | 16:45 |
| BluesKaj | dankan: I like the Virtual Desktop/pager and activities options | 16:46 |
| dankan | BluesKaj: nowdays not really ,i5 4760 + gtx 760 , most exotic thing i have is a wacom tablet, old pc was pretty generic too | 16:46 |
| * BluesKaj nods | 16:47 | |
| mikky | hi, what can cause /etc/hosts to be ignored by pretty much everything? I have custom entries in there but no application seems to be getting them. | 16:49 |
| razvan | mikky: could be dnsmasq related. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/347152/why-is-the-etc-hosts-file-not-working for details.. | 16:54 |
| ikonia | what has the host file got to do with anything ? | 16:54 |
| ikonia | mikky: ping when of your entries in the host file, does it respond to the correct ip address | 16:55 |
| ikonia | (doesn't matter if ping returns or not) | 16:55 |
| daniele_ | /msg Amici|SeRiE-TV|03 xdcc send #55 | 16:59 |

| fausto | hello there, does anybody have any experience with AMD surround view dual monitors on ubuntu? i'm getting a nasty mouse flicker | 17:01 |
| dankan | fausto: are they both connected with the same port? i mean dvi-d or hdmi or something? | 17:04 |
| fausto | my hd6870 is connected to the main monitor through a dual link DVI and my second monitor is connected to the integrated gpu (hd4250) through VGA | 17:05 |
| fausto | i get a mouse flicker on all desktop environments, but especially unity, where the cursor almost disappears permanently | 17:06 |
| khru | Toph have you been in a website with a lot javascript? | 17:07 |
| yms | join #emaccs | 17:07 |
| dankan | fausto: i cant help you since i only have intel/nvidia , mouse flicker is a thing on amd, you use the binary amd drivers or open source ones? | 17:07 |
| Toph | khru,,, nope | 17:08 |
| fausto | i've tried both on most DEs, only the open source drivers detect my second monitor, fglrx apparently doesn't work well with surroundview | 17:08 |
| fausto | and there's no mouse flicker if the second monitor isn't connected | 17:08 |
| kahina | ok | 17:09 |
| dankan | fausto: does the cursor flicker just on the main display or both? | 17:09 |
| fausto | only on the main display and interestingly enough, only in a limited area of the screen | 17:10 |
| daftykins | fausto: i'm not even surprised at issues with those two used at once | 17:11 |
| fausto | i can live with it on KDE - kubuntu. but anything else and it's just madness :D well thanks for the help anyway | 17:12 |
| TJ- | fausto: there are issues when the 2 GPUs are not well-matched in performance terms | 17:12 |
| TJ- | fausto: also, to avoid confusion, the AMD term for it is "Eyefinity" | 17:13 |
| dankan | fausto: maybe try disabling vsync , there are a lot of threads about the problem you are having on ask.ubuntu | 17:13 |
| fausto | i have posted my own question there considering all the other answers don't solve my problem | 17:13 |
| fausto | and @TJ- i see, but isn't that the point of using eyefinity? using your typically weaker integrated GPU for a second monitor | 17:14 |
| dankan | fausto: you may be just out of luck , i wanted to use intel igpu + my nvidia gpu and it wasnt working too , also vsync didnt work when using vga+dvi-d | 17:14 |
| TJ- | fausto: it *sounds* rather like the problems we used to have with multiple GPUs where the cursor is no lnger renderered by the hardware (hardware cursor) and is software rendered, and suffers from frame-sync glitches. | 17:14 |
| fausto | i see. i really have to try screen recording to see what happens to my cursor :D | 17:15 |
| dankan | fausto: from what i've seen it will be visible on the recording too ;p | 17:16 |
| fausto | i'm gonna go test it out. thanks for the help! | 17:17 |
| TJ- | fausto: 'Eyefinity' is about multi-display single-GPU, rather than multi-GPU, according to AMD anyhow | 17:18 |
| fausto | i see. my BIOS configuration is called "surround view" though, and it's meant to activate both igpu and whatever else you have simultaneously | 17:20 |
| zed_ | i want to change SDDM how to change it | 17:21 |
| TJ- | fausto: right, but the iGPU and the discrete GPU have their own video RAM and separate framebuffers. This is why optimus low/high power GPU technology has been so problematic - getting them to work as a pseudo single hybrid GPU is a very challenging engineering task | 17:23 |
| fausto | i see. i've installed windows 8.1, windows 10, osx yosemite and osx mavericks on this computer but only the open source linux drivers give me both my displays | 17:24 |
| fausto | so props to whoever the hell did this, what a beast | 17:24 |
| emilien | hi | 17:24 |
| TJ- | fausto: there are a lot of AMD/fglxr issues to the point when we hear 'fglxr' some of us hide :s | 17:25 |
| * daftykins does | 17:26 | |
| daftykins | :D | 17:26 |
| fausto | yeah really not the best piece of software | 17:26 |
| TJ- | fausto: but back to your actual issue (now you have some background!). As I said, if the area around the cursor flickers that strongly suggests the driver is using software rendering for that damaged area, rather than hardware based, and its catching the v-sync refresh | 17:27 |
| fausto | so i could try disabling it | 17:28 |
| TJ- | fausto: technically, as the mouse pointer moves the area it passes over is 'damaged' and needs to be redrawn. It sounds like you're seeing that happen. So as someone else mentioned, explore changing the settings for the v-sync refresh, and also see if there's a triple-buffering option you can enabled for that GPU | 17:28 |
| fausto | roger roger | 17:29 |
| dankan | fausto: dont worry, if u had nvidia you would swear on vsync even on a single monitor setup :D | 17:30 |
| TJ- | fausto: or enabling it if it is currently disabled. In theory, 'enabled' is the preferred setting. But even in that state we don't really know if the GPU is actually implementing that setting - with dual GPUs with a multi-monitors for a single display surface hardware cursors on independent GPUs can be a hard problem to solve. | 17:30 |
| fausto | i'm supposed to find the appropriate config files in my drivers right? | 17:31 |
| TJ- | I've used 3 (nvidia) GPUs with 6 monitors for some time, with multiple X screens, without issue for a long time. BUt I have those multiple X screens rather than trying to make 1 single 'desktop' because of the compromises that requirement would cause. | 17:31 |
| TJ- | fausto: I'd expect the (catalyst) control panel to have those. Not sure about the radeon (open source) driver since I think it relies only on xrandr | 17:32 |
| fausto | i would gladly use the hdmi port on my hd6870 or the spare DVI-D port but my monitors only take VGA | 17:32 |
| fausto | ahhhhh right i have to create a new mode and apply it, then change the vsync line i guess | 17:33 |
| nolsen | Which works better? fglrx(-updates)? or xserver-xorg-video-ati? | 17:33 |
| TJ- | fausto: do you have a need to spread the desktop over all monitors, as opposed to just being able to use both monitors, but as semi-independent displays? | 17:33 |
| fausto | well it depends on what you want it for i guess, but the OSS drivers are more than ok | 17:33 |
| TJ- | fausto: right; just that if semi-independent is enough for your use-case, it might save some hair-pulling :) | 17:34 |
| keli | whats wrong with the ubuntu off-topic channel ? | 17:34 |
| nolsen | fausto: Does the xorg one have 3d acceleration? | 17:34 |
| keli | cant access it | 17:34 |
| fausto | i want to use the monitors independently, as in... one for coding and the other one for a browser with the website i'm developing open | 17:34 |
| tambu | With apt-get is there anyway to get better formatted output? Not trying to bash just curious. Read about aptitude, but that seems to have gone away, not sure if it's output is more user-friendly. | 17:35 |
| theTroy | I am running a sudo command on rc.local which has >> output to a file. Unfortunately the file does not contain any output. When I run the program in terminal I can see the output written | 17:35 |
| Naughx | Talking about weird graphical glitches... I'm having this http://i.imgur.com/0I0Cpqe.png (It doesn't occur neither with Windows nor Debian Jessie) | 17:37 |
| TJ- | fausto: right, that's my use-case. So I have 4 X screens (X screens are semi-independent desktops where the applications on 1 screen cannot move over to another screen). 2 of my X screens have 2 monitors each, and then there's 2 with 1 monitor each. I use them to logically separate different activities, and to protect me from accidentally sending the wrong commands to remote SSH sessions | 17:37 |
| TJ- | Naughx: does that only happen in the browser content-area, or with other applications too? | 17:38 |
| Naughx | everywhere | 17:38 |
| fausto | nice, i don't really understand the difference though, how do you set up independent desktops? | 17:38 |
| Naughx | (I think it is xorg-related) | 17:38 |
| TJ- | theTroy: rc.local doesn't need 'sudo' since it is run by UID 0 at boot-time | 17:38 |
| dankan | TJ: can i create a separate X server for just a single application? a game on steam for example. all this using one monitor | 17:38 |
| TJ- | fausto: the display settings usually makes it reasonably clear. It requires an /etc/X11/xorg.conf to be generated (as opposed to relying on auto-detection each time the X server starts) | 17:39 |
| theTroy | TJ-: I am aware... I don't actually have them written as "sudo" apologies | 17:39 |
| jophish | Hi all | 17:40 |
| theTroy | TJ-: but the issue is present - the dump file exists but is empty. running the program in terminal produces output | 17:40 |
| nolsen | Which works better? fglrx(-updates)? or xserver-xorg-video-ati? | 17:40 |
| nolsen | Is the xorg drivers better? | 17:40 |
| TJ- | dankan: Well yes, although you can run whatever application(s) you want on the additional X screen - there are no limitations. mouse moves over all X screens, keyboard focus follows as usual. cut/copy/paste all work as expected. | 17:40 |
| jophish | My internet connection is terrible in Ubuntu, but in Windows on the same machine it's all fine. What's up? | 17:40 |
| zykotick9 | theTroy: TIP consider that rc.local is run with NO PATH at all, verify you have full path names to all your commands... good luck | 17:40 |
| nolsen | (does it have 3d acceleration? better performance? etc?) | 17:41 |
| jophish | I've tried disabling 802.11n and wireless power throttling | 17:41 |
| jophish | sometimes it just doesn't work at all | 17:41 |
| TJ- | theTroy: well, it depends on your script. Such issues usually are due to relying on variables in the shell environment that simply don't exist, or are different, at boot-time | 17:41 |
| theTroy | zykotick9: thanks, even if I don't run the program through rc.local and run it locally instead (as sudo ./script > log.log) I still get empty file | 17:41 |
| Naughx | Rebooting. | 17:41 |
| zykotick9 | theTroy: ahh sudo is broken by > (i'd guess >> as well) you'd probably need tee or something | 17:42 |
| theTroy | TJ-: my script is a c++ program using printf that prints directly to the terminal... I am not sure what particular things I'd need to implement? | 17:42 |
| dankan | TJ: so if i run for example tux racer on another xscreen , both screens will capture my input at the same time? or its independent , and i have to switch screens with ctrl+shift+Fx? | 17:42 |
| TJ- | theTroy: Pro Tip. In your rc.local add a debug line of the form "/usr/bin/env >> /tmp/rc.local.env.log" and see what is set | 17:42 |
| theTroy | TJ-: cheers, will try that | 17:43 |
| TJ- | theTroy: are you using an absolute path to your executable? are the correct permissions set on it? | 17:43 |
| Naughx | Back | 17:43 |
| fausto | i'm going, thanks for the help TJ- and dankan | 17:44 |
| TJ- | fausto: good luck :) | 17:44 |
| fausto | thanks! | 17:44 |
| dankan | fausto: i didn't do nothing but you are welcome ;p | 17:44 |
| theTroy | TJ-: absolute paths everywhere, root permissions | 17:44 |
| === x3mboy is now known as X3MBoy | ||
| theTroy | as the thing is ran as root | 17:44 |
| TJ- | theTroy: if you do "/path/to/your/exectuable >> /tmp/test.log" does the output show up in the log file? | 17:45 |
| diskin | theTroy: what is the full command in rc.local? | 17:45 |
| theTroy | TJ-: my rc.local basically has this line : "./home/user/folder/remote >> /home/user/rmLog.log" | 17:46 |
| TJ- | theTroy: it sounds rather like your shell script command is misusing the redirection functionality, and therefore only creating an empty file. | 17:46 |
| diskin | theTroy: ./ is a relative path... | 17:47 |
| nolsen | Apparently nobody here can answer my question. | 17:47 |
| theTroy | diskin: the program itself is ran and performs actions that would result in terminal log though? (I'll remove the . though) | 17:48 |
| Naughx | ./ is usually the working directory. | 17:48 |
| nolsen | Which works better? fglrx(-updates)? or xserver-xorg-video-ati? | 17:48 |
| TJ- | theTroy: that "." means present working directory, and that isn't guaranteed to be "/" | 17:48 |
| zykotick9 | Naughx: s/usually// | 17:48 |
| diskin | theTroy: yes, remove the "." before "/". | 17:49 |
| Naughx | @nolsen, it depends, but fglrx is proprietary. | 17:49 |
| nolsen | Naughx: I don't care about that, does the xorg work better than the fglrx? | 17:49 |
| nolsen | Like does it have 3d acceleration, opengl support, etc. | 17:49 |
| TJ- | nolsen: the only way to know is test it with the target hardware; different scenarios will result in different results. | 17:50 |
| Naughx | usually opensource drivers have less compatibily for acceleration. | 17:50 |
| TJ- | nolsen: support in the 2 drivers depends very much on which GPU it is | 17:50 |
| nolsen | It's an APU actually. | 17:50 |
| theTroy | diskin: removed the . - no change | 17:52 |
| Naughx | what is the full path to your program? | 17:52 |
| compdoc | some apus dont seem to work well because of gpu driver problems | 17:53 |
| nolsen | With what? the opensource driver? | 17:53 |
| Naughx | @theTroy | 17:53 |
| nolsen | AMD A4-6210 APU with AMD Radeon R3 Graphics is what I have. | 17:54 |
| TJ- | theTroy: what does "/home/user/folder/remote" mean? is that the real path, or an example? and if so, what does the 'remote' part mean - truly the name of the executable, or indicating some binary accessed via a 'remote' network path? | 17:54 |
| diskin | theTroy: also you mentioned sudo - where is it? | 17:55 |
| TJ- | theTroy: I think you need to show is the *exact* content of "/etc/rc.local" in a pastebin | 17:55 |
| theTroy | TJ-: remote is the true name of the executable.. its a c++ compiled program | 17:55 |
| theTroy | TJ-: 1 second, playing around with tee as that what some stackexchange suggests for c++ using printf | 17:56 |
| TJ- | theTroy: right, so its in the local file-system? | 17:56 |
| theTroy | TJ-: correct, everything is local | 17:56 |
| Naughx | I thought c++ using cout not printf... | 17:57 |
| TJ- | theTroy: right. Will, if you're using printf() that's a C library tool which writes to stdout. Are you by-chance using this on a systemd-init based system? | 17:57 |
| TJ- | Naughx: cout is the OO way of doing it, yes | 17:57 |

| tambu | TJ- -- thanks I was actually reading that I couldn't get a link to paste for some reason.. but from what I read it shows an upstream patch.. but that would require compiling the source code no? which would then break apt-get openssh management wouldn't it? | 17:59 |

| FXpro | is anyone familiar with the distro called cyborg hawk? | 18:05 |
| Naughx | no | 18:05 |
| tambu | TJ- ok thanks for the command I can see the update in the changelog Thank you.. stupid security scan flagged my system because it wasn't on 7.0 or higher.. I guess it didn't know that the patch was backported. | 18:05 |
| daftykins | FXpro: not on topic here. | 18:05 |
| teward | !offtopic | FXpro | 18:05 |
| ubottu | FXpro: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 18:05 |
| FXpro | I have 8gb of ram and I did not set a swap file. cyborg is an ubuntu distro. | 18:05 |
| daftykins | tgrundle: hmm, i'm not familiar with some parameters you're issuing in the interfaces file there, i would try a minimal set personally | 18:06 |
| FXpro | probably the most eye candy one I have seen. | 18:06 |
| TJ- | tambu: ahhh, one of those stupid PCI compliance scanners? | 18:06 |
| daftykins | FXpro: no, we do not support derivatives | 18:06 |
| jophish | sudo su | 18:06 |

| jophish | echo "net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf | 18:06 |
| jophish | oops, sorry | 18:06 |

| Naughx | sudo -i is better | 18:06 |
| tambu | Does anyone have any good tools or sites for security scan updates on Ubuntu? | 18:06 |
| jophish | daftykins: yeah, I know, but I was just copypasting from a web page | 18:06 |
| daftykins | jophish: alright, as long as you know the difference ;) | 18:07 |
| jophish | :) don't worry | 18:07 |
| FXpro | on standard ubuntu, whats the swap file situation? 8gb of physical ram means I dont need to set a swap file or? | 18:07 |
| jophish | time to reboot and see if this fixes things | 18:07 |
| Naughx | if you don't hibernate, probably not | 18:07 |
| k1l_ | tambu: ubuntu.com/usn/ that is where all the security updates are listed | 18:08 |
| daftykins | FXpro: no that's wholly wrong. | 18:08 |
| Bashing-om | FXpro: A small swap partition is cheap insurance even with 8 Gigs of ram . | 18:09 |
| Naughx | but a swap partition is better than a swap file | 18:09 |
| FXpro | oh, yes, same thing I thought | 18:10 |
| tambu | k1l_ Thanks I'll take a look to stay updated. | 18:10 |
| daftykins | not even vaguely the same thing | 18:10 |
| jophish | That didn't seem to fix things | 18:10 |
| k1l_ | tambu: that are the patches you get when you run the updates on ubuntu. | 18:11 |
| Naughx | swap files don't even work with btrfs | 18:11 |
| jophish | The wireless connection seems to be great for the first couple of seconds, but after that it goes to super slow mode | 18:11 |
| TJ- | jophish: do you see lots of 'invalid' errors using "iwconfig" | 18:13 |
| dankan | FXpro: if you want to be sure you use your ram when its avaible instead of swap just change the swappiness | 18:13 |
| TJ- | tambu: if you have to keep up-to-date with CVEs its worth subscribing to the Ubuntu security mailing list | 18:14 |
| TJ- | tambu: see https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce | 18:14 |
| tambu | TJ- well I wouldn't say it's a job requirement or something.. but I do get paranoid about ssh.. my server is constantly being hit by idiots on ssh.. trying to brute force me.. I use fal2ban which does well bans the ip after 3 tries.. for 5 mins.. but sometimes they just switch to another IP and start again :P | 18:15 |
| TJ- | tambu: where, for the mentioned CVE, you'd have seen: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2015-August/003089.html | 18:15 |
| TJ- | tambu: simple solution. Don't expose SSH to the public internet. Require a VPN connection to use SSH. | 18:15 |
| k1l_ | tambu: you can change the ban-period or even change to ban ipranges. | 18:16 |
| ikonia | you could also apply some geo rules | 18:16 |
| k1l_ | tambu: else there is just few you can do to prevent bruteforce. | 18:16 |
| tambu | TJ- that gets tricky.. I tend to use it remotely a lot in places where most VPN traffic gets blocked even ssh does.. but I've found if I have openssh on 443 that tends to work. | 18:16 |
| ikonia | eg: you know you're never going to connect from China, Russia or Pakinstan - so block there whole range on port 22 | 18:17 |
| TJ- | tambu: or, if your SSH access is always from a known set of IP address ranges, set a suitable netfilters firewall rule to only allow port 22 from those source address ranges | 18:17 |
| ikonia | narrow it down | 18:17 |
| FXpro | here is another one, how do you turn off the authentication nag every time you do something | 18:17 |
| Naughx | or he could use a whitelist? | 18:17 |
| Bassem | is there mixer in option for audio in like windows | 18:17 |
| tambu | Thanks guys all good suggestions, whitelist wouldn't work being remote I'd never know which one.. I was thinking about setting up shorewall to only open port 22 if you hit a certain combinations of parts, I've read about that somewhere | 18:18 |
| TJ- | tambu: or you could use a port-knocker, or email (I once set-up a server so it receives an encrypted email from me with the command to open a port on-demand) | 18:18 |
| tambu | port-knocker that sorta sounds like the idea I was considering | 18:19 |
| FXpro | I gotta admit, the whole linux thing has come a looooong way. | 18:19 |
| TJ- | tambu: right, but port-knocking can suffer if you're operating from behind a restrictive firewall (if its stopping VPNs it probably stops lots of other traffic too) | 18:19 |
| tambu | TJ- hrm.. thats a fair point. well maybe I can set it up somehow to use my cell phone and then feed in an IP .. I will take a look at it. | 18:20 |
| TJ- | tambu: sounds like the kind of firewall that blocks all outgoing by default, then allows just common traffic (TCP port 22, 80, 443, 25, 143), UDP port 53, etc | 18:20 |
| tambu | TJ- yup, or makes u proxy all outgoing traffic which as you pointed out would break port-knocking. | 18:20 |
| tambu | TJ- it sounds a bit silly but the email idea might work.. email from cell phone open ssh to this IP... | 18:21 |
| TJ- | tambu: right, which is where encrypted email (delivered directly to the server's MX) can work well | 18:21 |
| jophish | TJ-: What "invalid" error are you expecting to see | 18:21 |
| jophish | I've not noticed anything, but I'm using network-manager | 18:21 |
| Bashing-om | FXpro: "turn off the authentication nag every time you do something" Not good to fool mother linux, best practice is not to defeat the security measures . | 18:22 |
| TJ- | jophish: "iwconfig" reports 'invalid' packet counts for several Tx/Rx operations; those should be close to, or at, zero. If they're big numbers and increase constantly, there may be a chipset/firmware/driver problem | 18:23 |
| Lep2 | I am trying to install ubuntu 14.04 LTS with MBR, that won't boot, When I set bios to uefi It does work, Is there a reason for that? HP probook 6570B always worked as mbr | 18:23 |
| Lep2 | The install medium won't boot under mbr, but does under uefi | 18:23 |
| Naughx | legacy mode? | 18:23 |
| Lep2 | legacy mode works too | 18:23 |
| Lep2 | But it is my only os so I rather use mbr | 18:24 |
| TJ- | Lep2: how does it 'not boot' - does the PC firmware report an error? hangs with a flashing cursor top-left? something else? | 18:24 |
| === ejbs__ is now known as ejbs_ | ||
| Lep2 | If i boot, i get the purple screen with the keyboard icon on the bottom, than black screen | 18:24 |
| Lep2 | If i boot it from uefi all perfect | 18:24 |
| Naughx | hmm | 18:24 |
| Lep2 | I did not do a bios update | 18:24 |
| TJ- | Lep2: OK, so it does boot the installer, but you lose video during boot. | 18:25 |
| Lep2 | Yup | 18:25 |
| jophish | TJ-: excessive retries is 74, and invalid misc is at 500 and increasing | 18:25 |
| TJ- | Lep2: that sounds like an issue that may be resolved by 'nomodeset' | 18:25 |
| jophish | not too helpful | 18:25 |
| Lep2 | TJ- I tryd with nomodeset, that did not help | 18:25 |
| tgm4883 | Lep2: why not just use UEFI? | 18:25 |
| TJ- | Lep2: most UEFI nowadays have a GOP for the GPU, and don't have a full video BIOS implementation, so that may be the issue. If it were me I'd use the UEFI boot mode. | 18:26 |
| Lep2 | I am right now, I just would like to figure out why it suddenly won't work under mbr | 18:26 |
| jophish | ah, excessive retries increases when I use the internet | 18:26 |
| Lep2 | Is uefi realy that better than mbr? | 18:26 |
| Naughx | updating the bios/uefi could maybe fix it? | 18:26 |
| TJ- | jophish: which wifi device is it? "lspci -nn" or "lsusb" should report its ID | 18:27 |
| tgm4883 | Lep2: Ok, so it's just an exercise then and not actually trying to fix something that is broken | 18:27 |
| jophish | TJ-: Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 [8086:08b1] (rev 6b) | 18:27 |
| TJ- | Lep2: UEFI is not comparable to MBR - they are different things entirely. UEFI can boot from an MsDOS/MBR partitioned device just as easily as a GPT device - that is part of the UEFI specification | 18:27 |
| TJ- | jophish: aha, yes, we've seen some issues with the 7260. Which Ubuntu release are you using? "cat /etc/issue" ? | 18:28 |
| Naughx | yep uefi can boot from a mbr-partitioned device. | 18:28 |
| FXpro | is there anything for sound enhancement like a 3rd party eq or? | 18:28 |
| Naughx | also a bios can also boot from a gpt partition. (It just require a bios_grub partition in the case of ubuntu) | 18:29 |
| daftykins | FXpro: please stop trying to get support for your OTHER distro in here - advice will not apply. | 18:29 |
| TJ- | Lep2: the issue is the Compatability Support Module (CSM) a.k.a Legacy/BIOS boot method. It sounds like the BIOS routines may not be correctly/fully initialising the GPU | 18:29 |
| jophish | TJ-: 14.04, I had huge problems with my graphics card in later versions (nvidia optimus) | 18:29 |
| jophish | TJ-: https://gist.github.com/3e4b028ddfa69260cfc0 | 18:29 |
| FXpro | it it is based on ubuntu, its not the same thing? | 18:29 |
| jophish | That's /etc/issue.net | 18:29 |
| jophish | That's /etc/issue * | 18:29 |
| TJ- | jophish: OK... and it using the hardware enablement stack's later kernel? " uname -r " | 18:29 |
| tgm4883 | FXpro: no | 18:30 |
| Naughx | @FXpro, not a supported ubuntu-derivative | 18:30 |
| jophish | TJ-: 3.19.0-42-generic | 18:30 |
| tgm4883 | FXpro: unless it's an official flavor of Ubuntu, it's not supported here | 18:30 |
| Naughx | Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu... | 18:30 |
| FXpro | ok well thanks for letting me know. | 18:30 |
| Naughx | Linux Mint isn't supported too. | 18:30 |
| Naughx | Even if it is close to Ubuntu | 18:30 |
| FXpro | strick rules here! hehe | 18:31 |
| TJ- | jophish: so the kernel from Vivid 15.04. That's good (avoids some of the Intel WiFi issues) but not all | 18:31 |
| Naughx | This channel is only for the official releases | 18:31 |
| tgm4883 | FXpro: and for good reason | 18:31 |
| Naughx | #ubuntu-offtopic has less strict rules. | 18:32 |
| OerHeks | just to avoid confusion: other forks have their own issues. | 18:32 |
| TJ- | jophish: I'd suggest testing it with a recent mainline kernel build since, around v4.0, a *lot* of iwlwifi bugs were fixed (I used to suffer what you're describing with 802.11n). | 18:32 |
| TJ- | !mainline | jophish | 18:32 |
| ubottu | jophish: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 18:32 |
| FXpro | ok I will try it | 18:32 |

| L0uk3 | yup--I am connected with a admin user account. I run my update/upgrade scripts which require SU. IT allows the upgrade of everything except the core files. "full-upgrade" might be that parameter I am missing. Thanks k1l_ | 18:42 |
| Burner420 | does pendrivelinux usb installer allow you to create a live version of ubuntu on the usb drive and run it soley off the usb stick? | 18:42 |

| waressearcher2 | anyone knows if using "taskset 1 some_program" makes it faster ? I mean it disables core jumping so it is always runs on one core | 18:49 |

| cod3fish3r | exit | 19:18 |
| TJ- | poops: you don't need to extend the sda5 partition to do that, as it has LVM. just create a new partition in that unallocated space, then do "sudo pvcreate /dev/sda3 && sudo vgextend VG_NAME /dev/sda3" (if sda3 is the new partition ) | 19:19 |
| cod3fish3r | exit | 19:19 |
| poops | Thanks TJ- can u point me to an article that fits my needs? | 19:20 |
| TJ- | poops: you can't extend sda5 into that space without also growing the sda2 extended. I'm not sure gparted allows resizing an extended partition | 19:20 |
| TJ- | poops: I'm not aware of an article on this; I'm speaking from a lot of experience. | 19:20 |
| poops | no no I know. I just need a step by step. dont want to mess it up | 19:21 |

| nolsen | caballero: I am tired of hopping OSes, plus ubuntu has a newer kernel than kubuntu. | 19:33 |
| daftykins | nolsen: that's a wholly false statement | 19:33 |
| eelstrebor | TJ-, yep | 19:33 |
| TJ- | nolsen: kernels are identical | 19:33 |
| BPTtone | Hello, all... my ubuntu 12.04 froze a few minutes ago. I could not use the keyboard to go to tty or anything, required hard-reboot. This is the error: *ERROR* Power management discrepancy: GEN6_RP_INTERRUPT_LIMITS | 19:33 |
| bekks | nolsen: Which is not true, the kernels are the same. | 19:33 |
| TJ- | eelstrebor: try "apt-cache policy <package-name>" | 19:34 |
| nolsen | Well last time I used kubuntu, it eventually got overruned by segfault errors from plasma. | 19:34 |
| nolsen | So I aint switching back. | 19:34 |
| TJ- | eelstrebor: it may be the package isn't available from that repository for the Ubuntu release | 19:34 |
| eelstrebor | TJ-, N: Unable to locate package tvheadend | 19:34 |
| nolsen | I guess I could try running KDE now. | 19:35 |
| eelstrebor | the webpage says that trusty is supported | 19:35 |
| daftykins | eelstrebor: can you link to it? i'd bet you have the wrong name. | 19:35 |
| TJ- | nolsen: 'Kubuntu' is the ubuntu-minimal + kubuntu-desktop. There's no difference in the underlying packages so if you're tryin to install 'kubuntu-desktop' package you'll end up in the same situation. | 19:35 |
| bekks | nolsen: you did not answer wether you are using "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 19:35 |
| poops | Hey TJ- hope u can help http://pastebin.com/0DzZF6ZY | 19:35 |
| TJ- | eelstrebor: try "apt-cache search -n tvheadend" | 19:35 |
| caballero | nolsen: kubuntu 15.10 with Plasma 5 runs flawlessly on my acer Aspire S7, besides powermanagement in Kubuntu are phenomenal! You should try it and see if you like it...at least take it for a spin...you don't have to install it! | 19:36 |
| TJ- | poops: is it /dev/sda you want to use the space on? | 19:36 |
| eelstrebor | daftykins, i can link to the repository | 19:36 |
| poops | yes | 19:37 |
| poops | one thing to note | 19:37 |
| daftykins | eelstrebor: yes | 19:37 |
| eelstrebor | http://apt.tvheadend.org/release/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/ | 19:37 |
| poops | the root partition uses 2 vmware disks currently each was 8 gb | 19:37 |
| poops | so total of 16gb | 19:37 |
| poops | i increased the size of one of the disks to 12 from 8 | 19:37 |
| BPTtone | I guess there is no remedy, eh? Will continue to try and google... thanks anyway | 19:37 |
| eelstrebor | TJ-, apt-cache search -n tvheadend gives me kodi packages with tvheadend in the name but no standalone app | 19:38 |
| poops | df -h: http://pastebin.com/tiysA5iP | 19:38 |
| TJ- | poops: use "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" and then create a "n"ew "p"primary partition, starting at sector "16775168" and using all the remaining space (press Enter to accept default value). Then set the "t"ype of the new partition to "8e" | 19:38 |
| nolsen | <bekks> nolsen: you did not answer wether you are using "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 19:38 |
| TJ- | eelstrebor: so the PPA isn't providing it for your release then | 19:38 |
| nolsen | ... | 19:38 |
| nolsen | i already did. | 19:38 |
| bekks | nolsen: you didnt. :) | 19:38 |
| padrecarlo | Hi pro users, my Ubuntu always lost WiFi connection, any idea why? | 19:39 |
| nolsen | Yes, I did. and I'm not repeating myself. | 19:39 |
| bekks | nolsen: Good. ME neither. Good luck in solving your issue. | 19:39 |
| daftykins | eelstrebor: "cat /etc/issue" to confirm? | 19:39 |
| nolsen | And KDE starts with a black screen. | 19:39 |
| nolsen | What now ._. | 19:39 |
| poops | TJ, Partition number (1-4, default 3): ? | 19:39 |
| TJ- | poops: correct, press Enter to accept default | 19:39 |
| eelstrebor | daftykins, cat /etc/issue gives Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l | 19:40 |
| daftykins | nolsen: don't give volunteers attitude, if you expect help... be prepared to provide answers. | 19:40 |
| daftykins | eelstrebor: did you add the repo via the guide pages' "sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/release" example ? | 19:41 |
| caballero | nolsen: we are all here to help...but NOT obligated to do so...perhaps a better attitude will get you further help. | 19:41 |
| poops | TJ, sorry im being naggy: http://pastebin.com/W3ii2EBM press enter? | 19:41 |
| eelstrebor | daftykins, yep, including adding GPG key | 19:41 |
| poops | TJ, why 16775168 btw? | 19:41 |
| BluesKaj | bekks: I asked nolsen if he installed via kubuntu-desktop and he replied yes, but I ddn't ask if he used sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 19:42 |
| keli_ | ive been trying to download a dreanweaver alternative for ubuntu but which will u guys suggest | 19:42 |
| eelstrebor | i guess there's a way to set it up in kodi plugin but i was looking for a standalone app | 19:42 |
| TJ- | poops: you're not being naggy, you're being cautious. The last used sector is 1 before that number. So you're starting to use the first sector of unallocated space. The Last sector prompt is suggesting the last sector of the drive, since the drive has a total of 25165824 sectors | 19:43 |
| bekks | BluesKaj: I found it in the backlog too. But I'm not obligated to help users with an attitude like that. Maybe someone else will do - I'm resting that case. | 19:43 |
| poops | thanks TJ- Partition number (1-5): ? | 19:43 |
| daftykins | eelstrebor: had a feeling this would end up in a Kodi topic, sure there's not better advice on the wiki as to the best approach for this? i've just opened the trusty package files and they're empty :D | 19:43 |

| eelstrebor | there aren't many apps for DVB - at least not many that work "properly" | 19:44 |
| TJ- | poops: your previous 'fdisk -l' shows the extended in sda2 uses sectors 501758 to 16775167 so you're starting immediately after that | 19:44 |
| daftykins | eelstrebor: addons i assume you mean, not really on topic here. #kodi exists (i'm there also) | 19:44 |
| TJ- | poops: default partition number it suggests; would expect it to be '3' which is what it has chosen | 19:44 |
| poops | Sit is 3 | 19:45 |
| eelstrebor | ok | 19:45 |
| k1l_ | eelstrebor: vlc can play dvb. at least i am using it to play a channels.conf | 19:45 |
| poops | TJ-: but in this stage it does not suggest a default one | 19:45 |
| daftykins | eelstrebor: the "stable" repo has some non-zero file sizes, change your entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ then apt-get update; then i bet the result will hcange | 19:46 |
| daftykins | change, too | 19:46 |
| eelstrebor | k1l_, it's not a very user friendly app for this - near as i can tell you can't select a program from a mux | 19:46 |
| poops | TJ-: halp! http://pastebin.com/zJPL5bve does this sound normal? | 19:46 |
| TJ- | poops: your pastebin showed "Partition number (1-4, default 3):" then "Using default value 3" which is what I was referring to | 19:47 |
| k1l_ | eelstrebor: it works to play a channels.conf. | 19:47 |
| eelstrebor | k1l_, another problem with generating channels list is that the apps used to do that don't provide a 10750 MHz LNB | 19:47 |
| TJ- | poops: don't worry, that is expected. now do "sudo partprobe /dev/sda" then pastebin the result of "cat /proc/partitions" | 19:47 |
| poops | TJ-: ok done. df looks the same. should I see something else? | 19:48 |
| TJ- | poops: pastebin the result of "cat /proc/partitions" | 19:49 |
| poops | here ya go TJ- http://pastebin.com/cPvm6HaV | 19:49 |
| TJ- | poops: you see there the kernel now knows about the new partition: " 8 3 4195328 sda3" | 19:50 |
| TJ- | poops: so now do "sudo pvcreate /dev/sda3" | 19:50 |
| TJ- | poops: your LVM VG on /dev/sda is called "monitorintg2", si that correct? | 19:51 |
| poops | yes | 19:51 |
| poops | http://pastebin.com/w1hXLm0H | 19:51 |
| TJ- | poops: so now add that PV to it with "sudo vgextend monitorintg2 /dev/sda3" | 19:51 |
| TJ- | poops: and now if you do "vgdisplay monitorintg2" you'll see the new free space shows up | 19:52 |
| poops | it does | 19:53 |
| poops | now lvextend ? | 19:53 |
| TJ- | poops: correct | 19:53 |
| padrecarlo | L | 19:53 |
| poops | lvextend /dev/monitorintg2/root /dev/sda3 ? | 19:54 |
| TJ- | poops: yes. and after that you may need to resize the file-system inside that LV. if it's an ext* then simply "resize2fs /dev/mapper/monitorintg2-root" will do an online resize | 19:54 |

| * regedit waits patiently in the waiting room to see TJ- | 21:12 | |
| regedit | :p | 21:13 |
| Cookie1990 | Servus, I have only 1 Question, I run Gnome Shell as Desktop manager and want to add Eclipse in the Dash, how do I do that? | 21:13 |
| k1l_ | regedit: that sounds like its fscking the partition. i would let it run | 21:13 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: so "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdXY crypt_device1" | 21:13 |
| regedit | k1l_: but.... but it does so *every* reboot?... something's not right | 21:13 |
| k1l_ | regedit: uh. is the hdd ok? | 21:14 |
| regedit | k1l_: additinally i've been having a hard time reinstating the SWAP. Efforts to either modify the new UUID to the old one, or change the old swap UUID to the new one have so far failed... | 21:14 |
| TJ- | regedit: what did you actually resize? A partition + file-system, an LVM volume? | 21:14 |
| regedit | k1l_: was OK for a while now, no known issues, just deleted some partitions and expanded some remaining ones (including linux system partition) | 21:15 |
| TJ- | regedit: you should know by now there is no "just" in "...just deleted some partitions and expanded some..." !! :D | 21:15 |
| regedit | TJ-: i was removing my windows OS, some 3 partitions or so deleted with gparted, then moved around & expanded the remaining EFI & linux ones | 21:16 |
| regedit | TJ-: indeed.... | 21:16 |
| TJ- | regedit: "moved around" ... uhuh | 21:16 |
| k1l_ | regedit: moving partitions causes a lot of stress so that can be the final punch. | 21:16 |
| TJ- | regedit: partition once; then leave! Use LVM and then you don't need to mess with partitioning at all | 21:16 |
| regedit | hey i did my due dilligence - i came on IRC (several channels) and bugged people mutiple times over to find out how safe it is and what are the steps | 21:16 |
| regedit | :D | 21:17 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: so in that line, "/dev/sdXY" is the device node for the encrypted drive that I want to decrypt, but what would I want to use for "crypt_device1"? From the link that nicomachus sent me and the cryptsetup man page, it can be any arbitrary string, right? | 21:17 |
| TJ- | regedit: if you're seeing errors on repeated boots that could be due to when the system is shutdown it isn't flushing/syncing all data/metadata to disk before the power goes off | 21:17 |
| regedit | not sure if the above SWAP issues are related ^ | 21:17 |
| regedit | TJ-: hm ok, what can i do to investigate that? | 21:18 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: e.g. if the external device is now at /dev/sdc4 you'd do 'cryptsetup /dev/sdc4 crypt_device1" ( that last name can be anything you choose. It is used as a Device Mapper name for the new device, and you'll find it under /dev/mapper/). Once that appears you can open the file-sytems contained within. E.g. if there were just an ext* file-system in it you could do "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/target; sudo | 21:19 |
| TJ- | mount /dev/mapper/crypt_device1 /mnt/target" | 21:19 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: thanks, I'll let you know if it works | 21:20 |
| TJ- | regedit: is the system being suspended, and then running out of power (which could potentially lose the in-RAM state of the file-systems) | 21:20 |
| regedit | ...i.o.w. i currently have no swap, altho i do have swap space available. Not sure whether (and how best) to change the new swap's UUID so it gets picked up by current fstab or wtvr, or whether/how to delete traces of old swap and setup a fresh one | 21:20 |
| TJ- | regedit: if it is encrypted swap there are some well-known problems that causes that symptom with lost UUID on each reboot, and is easily fixed too | 21:22 |
| OerHeks | there is a good swap manual https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 21:23 |
| [Mew2] | guys | 21:23 |
| [Mew2] | when i login with winscp | 21:23 |
| [Mew2] | i dont have sudo access by default | 21:24 |
| [Mew2] | is there an option to allow this? | 21:24 |
| k1l_ | [Mew2]: login to an account that is in the sudo group. or make that user you use member of the sudo group | 21:24 |
| [Mew2] | i have no idea hwo to do this | 21:24 |
| k1l_ | [Mew2]: if its not your system ask the admin if that is possible at all | 21:25 |
| [Mew2] | there is only one user and it doesnt have root | 21:25 |
| k1l_ | [Mew2]: what system is it and is it your system? | 21:25 |
| TJ- | [Mew2]: k1l_ that wouldn't work for scp though, since there's no way to do the shell sudo challenge (unlike with ssh -tt ... sudo dothis" | 21:25 |
| [Mew2] | my system and ubuntu serber 14.04 lts | 21:25 |
| [Mew2] | so the winscp ftp cant have sudo access? i have to chmod every file in terminal and then chmod it back when im done | 21:26 |
| Sebastien | Command:rm "/var/www/html/index.html" | 21:26 |
| Sebastien | Error:rm /var/www/html/index.html: permission denied | 21:26 |
| Sebastien | how would one fix this in filezilla? | 21:26 |
| [Mew2] | ^^ | 21:26 |
| k1l_ | oh, its about winscp. had regular ssh login in my mind | 21:26 |
| [Mew2] | Sebastien same issue, it needs root somehow | 21:26 |
| Sebastien | im using the .pem key and everything in the SFTP settings. | 21:27 |
| TJ- | [Mew2]: the scp user account on the target would need write/traverse permissions for the target directory/files, which would imply that the user@ would need to be a member of a group that has those permissions | 21:27 |
| Sebastien | my main user "ubuntu" is a sudoer so... | 21:27 |
| k1l_ | no root permissions needed | 21:27 |
| k1l_ | put your user into the www-data group | 21:27 |
| Sebastien | well looks like it needs to be in a sudo group | 21:27 |
| [Mew2] | ubuntu is not root, but can use sudo | 21:27 |
| TJ- | [Mew2]: alternatively, use 'setfacl ...' on the target to give user@ write permissions | 21:27 |
| Sebastien | sudoer is the same | 21:27 |
| * Sebastien does not give a damm about security | 21:27 | |
| Sebastien | so | 21:27 |
| k1l_ | guys, no need for root | 21:27 |
| Sebastien | how do i hack this | 21:27 |
| bekks | Sebastien: sudo is irrelevant, www-data is needed. | 21:28 |
| k1l_ | <k1l_> put your user into the www-data group | 21:28 |
| Sebastien | how would one do this? | 21:28 |
| k1l_ | sudo adduser user group | 21:28 |
| Sebastien | sudo adduser ubuntu www-data ? | 21:29 |
| TJ- | Sebastien: after adding the user to www-data you'd also need to give the www-data group write permissions to those directories | 21:29 |
| Sebastien | TJ-, how? | 21:29 |
| TJ- | Sebastien: e.g. "sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html" | 21:29 |
| regedit | so sorry TJ- / k1l_ , it's my favorite wifi connection again... | 21:30 |
| TJ- | Sebastien: which means [-R]ecursively set the [g]roup permissions to [w]rite-able, starting at the directory /var/www/html/ | 21:30 |
| regedit | had to wait until reboot into graphical mode completed... | 21:30 |
| regedit | TJ-: i think the fsck never gets to finish because a bootup timeout of 1min 30sec runs out | 21:31 |
| TJ- | regedit: did you see my comment about encrypted swap issues with UUIDs? | 21:31 |
| Sebastien | TJ-: http://i.imgur.com/cgNBjgv.png | 21:31 |
| Sebastien | does not work | 21:31 |
| TJ- | regedit: can you do a manual fsck then? | 21:31 |
| regedit | TJ-: to my knowledge i never opted for encryption on any partitions | 21:31 |
| k1l_ | regedit: can you detail the partition layout and if encrypted etc= | 21:31 |
| k1l_ | ? | 21:31 |
| regedit | TJ-: trying to reboot into recovery mode to fsck resulted in some (scary?...) error about authority something.... | 21:31 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-, nicomachus, when I run the command "", I am prompted for the key and then when I input it, I get the message "Cannot use device /dev/sdb5 which is in use (already mapped or mounted)." | 21:32 |
| regedit | k1l_: sure, what command should i run for ya? | 21:32 |
| TJ- | Sebastien: after adding a user to a new group, that user must log-in again for the new membership to take effect | 21:32 |
| Sebastien | TJ-, i know. i did this | 21:32 |
| k1l_ | regedit: "sudo parted -l" and put that into a pastebin | 21:32 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: 'already mapped' so look at "ls -latr /dev/mapper/" and identify it :) | 21:32 |
| johnqpublic | Which I assume means that the crypto has already been unlocked. So then when I look in /dev/mapper, I see what I believe to be the disk. When I try to mount THAT I get the error "mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'" | 21:32 |
| Sebastien | brb 10 mins, i need to go buy smokes, this issue is pissing me off so much been trying to fox this for like 3 damm days now. | 21:32 |
| Sebastien | ill brb TJ- | 21:33 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: also "sudo blkid /dev/mapper/*" might help you id it | 21:33 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: thanks | 21:33 |
| TJ- | Dump the GUI and use real CLI tools :D | 21:33 |
| KaiForce | wait there's a GUI? | 21:33 |
| regedit | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14393502/ sda is another drive, sdb is the one in question | 21:34 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: it says owner "root" | 21:34 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: "LVM2_member" means it contains an LVM volume. so do "sudo vgchange -ay /dev/mapper/<DEVICE_NAME>" | 21:34 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: so are you sure that is a proper regular setup? or is this a mess already because" you dont care"? | 21:35 |
| k1l_ | regedit: now a "cat /etc/fstab" please | 21:35 |
| TJ- | regedit: is this the same system we hammered into working state about 12 months ago? :) | 21:36 |
| regedit | TJ-: the one and the only :D now i will know both how to setup a windows+linux dual boot, AND how to take it apart (to bits, apparently) ahahahaha | 21:37 |
| TJ- | regedit: yeah... you'll be pleased to hear that 16.04 should have support for natively finding and installing UEFI capsule update packages | 21:37 |
| regedit | k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14393535/ it used to be as follows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14138686/ then i deleted the windows related partitions and expanded the linux one | 21:38 |
| regedit | TJ-: nice | 21:38 |
| regedit | TJ-: is 16.04 an LTS ? | 21:39 |
| KaiForce | if my math is right, that should be LTS | 21:39 |
| regedit | cool | 21:39 |
| k1l_ | the math is right. every second year its a LTS. | 21:40 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: results: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14393576/ | 21:40 |
| KaiForce | I did a 10.04 => 12.04 => 14.04 test upgrade last week. I did prod last night, and had to back it out because of a few postfix settings that changed (I think in 12.04) and I didn't catch in testing. | 21:41 |
| KaiForce | may try again tonight | 21:41 |
| TJ- | regedit: there's been a lot of work on that primarily by RedHat and Intel | 21:42 |
| regedit | so i got an error in recovery mode trying to fsck, but cant remember the specific, is there a recovery mode log somewhere? | 21:42 |
| k1l_ | regedit: can you show an actual lsblk ? | 21:42 |
| regedit | TJ-: i see cool | 21:42 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: can you show me "ls /dev/mapper/" | 21:42 |
| regedit | k1l_: current lsblk http://paste.ubuntu.com/14393603/ | 21:43 |
| regedit | again sdb is the system drive in question | 21:43 |
| k1l_ | regedit: sorry meant "blkid" | 21:43 |
| k1l_ | too much multitasking going on :/ | 21:43 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14393615/ | 21:43 |
| regedit | k1l_: current sudo blkid http://paste.ubuntu.com/14393619/ | 21:44 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: hahaha! is that literally the filename "luks-<HEX VALUES>" ? | 21:44 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: lol no | 21:45 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: oh!... can you show the exact value? it's important so I can formulate the correct command | 21:45 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: I just don't know whether that information is sensitive, so I tend to err on the side of sanitizing. | 21:45 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: those hex values will be the hexadecimal representation of the UUID of the device | 21:45 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: You win ;) "luks-cb246e4c-7213-4624-9c4d-3a4cf461f417" is the name | 21:46 |
| thegreenhundred | from the initramfs prompt, if /dev/sd[a-b]3 are my linux raid /root partitions, how do I assemble to boot? | 21:46 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: and I *suspect* what is happening is the name of that device is clashing with something else and thus not being given a chosen name | 21:46 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: so if you do "sudo blkid /dev/mapper/luks-cb246e4c-7213-4624-9c4d-3a4cf461f417" it should tell you, amongst other things, the name of the LVM Volume Group contain in there | 21:47 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: yeah the system I'm on now is encrypted too | 21:47 |
| k1l_ | regedit: ok, the swap uuid is wrong. but iam not sure which one uuid to use of those 2 form blkid. seems like a gpt thing with 2 uuids | 21:47 |
| johnqpublic | That's my impressions | 21:47 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: is it by chance "ubuntu-vg" - which is the same as the currently booted system ? | 21:47 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: that's my guess | 21:48 |
| k1l_ | regedit: try the first on on the line with /dev/sdb3 | 21:48 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: I've been doing some troubleshooting on my own in parallel to you, and that's the hunch that I'm getting | 21:48 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: what does the blkid command report? that'll tell us | 21:48 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: "/dev/mapper/luks-cb246e4c-7213-4624-9c4d-3a4cf461f417: UUID="FbiEfN-c0NA-ixKI-Ge30-YkQa-b8d0-04Dl4R" TYPE="LVM2_member"" | 21:49 |
| TJ- | k1l_: use the UUID. the PARTUUID is the GPT GUID | 21:49 |
| woden | Eveing guys, anyone got a Xonar DGx soundcard? Right now, my options for headphones are muted, or eardrum vaporisingly loud. | 21:49 |
| KaiForce | woden: go with loud | 21:50 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: and what does "sudo pvs /dev/mapper/luks-cb246e4c-7213-4624-9c4d-3a4cf461f417" report? | 21:50 |
| woden | I'd like somewhere inbetween ;) | 21:50 |
| KaiForce | what kind of card is that? is it built into a system? | 21:50 |
| regedit | k1l_: ok so how do i set it to the right UUID? | 21:51 |
| woden | its a PCIe card | 21:51 |
| TJ- | woden: have you tried using "alsamixer" to adjust the controls? | 21:51 |
| woden | well, PCIEx | 21:51 |
| regedit | do i change the swap partition UUID? or other config files' UUID of the swap? | 21:51 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14393700/ | 21:52 |
| TJ- | regedit: the swap is automounted without needing an entry in /etc/fstab (as it isn't using encrypted swap as far as I noticed) | 21:52 |
| KaiForce | woden: did you see the QasMixer solution? | 21:52 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: so that confirms it then' the VG has the same name as an existing VG, and therefore cannot be auto activated | 21:53 |
| KaiForce | don't know if it applies in your case | 21:53 |
| regedit | TJ-: is it really? how so? fstab has an old UUID apparently | 21:53 |
| DaleK5whr | join #kivy | 21:53 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: so is it possible to manually activate it? | 21:54 |
| woden | TJ-: no, ill loof it up, thanks | 21:54 |
| KaiForce | my name is KaiForce | 21:54 |
| Sebastien | k1l_ - TJ- ubuntu us the main root user of the account. | 21:55 |
| Sebastien | k1l_ - TJ- ubuntu is the main root user of the account. | 21:55 |
| KaiForce | nm did not see TJ- response | 21:56 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: you'll have to rename the VG inside it first. Get its UUID with "sudo vgs -o uuid /dev/mapper/luks-cb246e4c-7213-4624-9c4d-3a4cf461f417" first | 21:56 |
| TJ- | regedit: when udev sees the device and notices the FSTYPE is swap it should automatically call swapon | 21:57 |
| regedit | interesting... ok | 21:57 |
| TJ- | regedit: at least, that happens with systemd-init. Can't quite remember now if Upstart does that too | 21:57 |
| regedit | TJ-: i do see swap in Kubuntu System Monitor, cool | 21:58 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14393771/ | 21:58 |
| regedit | TJ-: so can i delete the swap entry from fstab? why did it need one all this time? | 21:58 |
| Sebastien | oh wow | 21:59 |
| Sebastien | sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html | 21:59 |
| Sebastien | vixed it | 21:59 |
| Sebastien | fixed it * | 21:59 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: legacy upgrades would carry it forward from 14.04 I think. I'm a bit hazy on when it changed because the default encrypted swap situation confuses the issue somewhat | 21:59 |
| regedit | sudo chmod 777 is usually a bad hacky solution | 21:59 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: grrr; the command doesn't like using the device node path | 22:00 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: my fault, i gave you the wrong command! use "pvs" not "vgs" !!! | 22:01 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14393825/ | 22:02 |
| TJ- | Sebastien: so every user has read/write/execute permissions in the public web-server directories? Any exectuable code exploit there can write to it, and therefore add executable web-server code | 22:02 |
| Sebastien | TJ-, yeah, but i can chmod back to 775 when im done editing right? | 22:03 |
| Sebastien | how would i manage to give permission to a specific uset to access/edit this then ? | 22:04 |
| Sebastien | im trying to make a channel stats page, where my eggdrop (user: eggy) upload files when triggered in a channel. | 22:04 |
| regedit | is there a recovery mode log somewhere where i can see errors i got during a recovery mode session? | 22:05 |
| regedit | when trying to fsck in recovery mode i get Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Could not connect: No such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1) | 22:06 |
| rypervenche | Sebastien: You would give said user write access. So you could do that by either making the files owned by the eggy user or the eggy group, then make sure that the user or group has write permissions. All done with chmod and chown.^^ | 22:06 |
| Sebastien | rypervenche, what is those command's syntaxes? | 22:06 |
| Ben64 | regedit: the logs are in the same spot as normal. /var/log | 22:07 |
| daftykins | regedit: sounds like "dmesg | tail" would've been handy to watch | 22:07 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: right, the easy way to do this is not try to rename the inactive VG but to rename the active one, thus freeing up the name (the sneaky solution!). "sudo vgrename ubuntu-vg VG01" should be suitable | 22:08 |
| bluefox83 | just upgraded to 15.10 via the upgrade tool, now when i can't get into a login screen. everything goes black and when i hit ctrl alt f2 i can drop down to a terminal...how do i figure out what's keeping gdm from starting? | 22:08 |
| rypervenche | Sebastien: chown -R username:groupname /var/www/html | 22:08 |
| regedit | daftykins: how to do that in recovery mode? | 22:08 |
| rypervenche | Sebastien: For the chmod bit, I would use find first, something like... | 22:08 |
| daftykins | regedit: depends what you're claiming you're seeing, why not just boot a desktop session to diagnose from? | 22:09 |
| regedit | daftykins: because then i can't fsck the system disk? or can i? | 22:09 |
| woden | I am a moron, the card is fine ... it was the game set too high | 22:09 |
| rypervenche | Sebastien: find /var/www/html -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; and then find /var/www/html -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; or 664 and 775 respectively, depending on how you want to do it. | 22:10 |
| Sebastien | sudo chown -R eggy:www-data /var/www/html <-- this makes sense? | 22:10 |
| daftykins | regedit: what? you can fsck from the live session... | 22:10 |
| regedit | daftykins: oh... ok, what's the command to completely fix & clean everything? | 22:10 |
| Bashing-om | bluefox83: Broke the proprietary graphic's driver in the ypgrade process ? | 22:10 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: will that have any negative side effects on my currently active system? | 22:10 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: after than "sudo vgscan" then "sudo vgchange -ay" should result in you finding the 'new' /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-* LVs that you can then mount ("sudo lsblk /dev/mapper/ubunut--vg-*" should help you ID the file-systems in those MVs) | 22:11 |
| daftykins | regedit: you threw us in at the deep end here with no information of the scenario, why not boot a live session on the target system and then come back? | 22:11 |
| regedit | daftykins: i *am* in a live session on the target system :) | 22:11 |
| bluefox83 | Bashing-om: i have no idea...i think it's that i'm running gnome-session and gnome-ghell | 22:11 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: it will if you do a reboot before we rename the running VG back to its original name. But we're going to shuffle the names around | 22:12 |
| bluefox83 | i upgraded and kinda forgot that part lol | 22:12 |
| daftykins | regedit: why all the talk of recovery then? | 22:12 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: it occurs to me that I could just do this on a non-encrypted system and not have to deal with the problem, right? | 22:12 |
| regedit | daftykins: i was being helped by some others, some backsorty should be available in the recent scrollback | 22:12 |
| bluefox83 | there used to be a way to get ubuntu to ask you which DM to use...i forget how to do that | 22:12 |
| daftykins | regedit: no, volunteers don't do work for helpees - it's the other way around. | 22:12 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: this is due to LVM, not the encryption. | 22:12 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: so a system without LVM then? | 22:13 |
| regedit | daftykins: fair enough - i was just responding to the bit about throwing anyone in at a deep end :) | 22:13 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: are you expecting to boot a PC from that external encrypted disk we're currently unwrapping? | 22:13 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: no, just have some files on it that I want to recover | 22:13 |
| Bashing-om | bluefox83: If it is a conflict within the DEs. I can not help much . For the graphics . is a driver loaded ? what returns ' sudo lshw -C display ' ? | 22:13 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: in which case we'll end up with the VG on it renamed to a non-clashing name, then it'll always just automatically work when the encryption is unlocked | 22:13 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: yeah no, this is a one-time thing basically | 22:14 |
| k1l_ | regedit: sorry was afk. edit the fstab and put the right uuid in there. | 22:14 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: think of it as a typical 3-way rename. file A > file C; file B > file A; file C > file B | 22:14 |
| Bashing-om | bluefox83: One chooses the DE at the login screen, in the login box click on the ubuntu icon . | 22:14 |
| regedit | k1l_: ok | 22:15 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: that is just ridiculous stupid to chmod 777 a directory a webserver runs | 22:15 |
| bluefox83 | Bashing-om: i don't get that far...it's just a black screen | 22:15 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: Not sure I want to risk that on this system | 22:15 |
| regedit | k1l_: is there anywhere else that needs the new UUID? or just fstab | 22:15 |
| bluefox83 | i don't get to see grub either... | 22:15 |
| k1l_ | regedit: only fstab | 22:15 |
| regedit | k1l_: ok thanks | 22:15 |
| Sebastien | k | 22:16 |
| Bashing-om | !nomodesst | bluefox83 Maybe try this : | 22:16 |
| regedit | k1l_: any ideas about the failing fsck? | 22:16 |
| bluefox83 | Bashing-om: i think i just need to tell the system to use gdm instead of lightdm | 22:16 |
| Bashing-om | !nomodeset | bluefox83 Maybe try this : | 22:16 |
| ubottu | bluefox83 Maybe try this :: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:16 |
| Sebastien | k1l_, im asking for help here, im not too sure what to do. | 22:16 |
| Sebastien | i can't think of other ways to reformulate my questions | 22:16 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: renaming the VG is a trivial operation; renaming the current "ubuntu-vg" temporarily allows you access to the currently inaccessible VG of the same name | 22:16 |
| k1l_ | regedit: boot a live system and run a fsck manually to see what is going on | 22:16 |
| Sebastien | like, its been 3 days im asking here and i get different answers all the time | 22:16 |
| bluefox83 | gee that's swell..except that i can't even view that link because i'm just in a bash shell :( | 22:17 |
| regedit | k1l_: ok, what is the exact fsck command please to completely clean & fix everything? | 22:17 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: but to confirm, if I just tried to mount this on a system that didn't have LVM, it would work as designed? | 22:17 |
| nicomachus | bluefox83: you could use lynx... or another machine's browser | 22:17 |
| daftykins | Sebastien: no add your user to the group www-data then chown the doc root as www-data:www-data | 22:17 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: 'black-screen' sounds more like a nomodeset issue | 22:17 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: when you said you added your user to www-data group. it looks like in your screenshot that the owner is root actually. so that correct help doesnt work because the server is a mess already. | 22:18 |
| bluefox83 | nicomachus: yeah...if i had another machine handy! | 22:18 |
| TJ- | johnqpublic: Once the crypt device has been unlocked, yes, in theory it should (assuming there is no corruption on that disk) | 22:18 |
| nicomachus | bluefox83: then use Lynx. | 22:18 |
| johnqpublic | TJ-: ok, cool. Thinking about it more, I'm planning on copying these docs to a 3rd system anyway, so if I did that I wouldn't have to worry about copying them over the network | 22:19 |
| bluefox83 | TJ-: no, it's what happens before the login screen usually shows up...everything goes black until i get a login screen. well atleast that's what happened before the upgrade... | 22:19 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: so first of all i would start to think about a proper setup and dont do the "i dont care i just sudo all i can" approach, since we cant know what you changed there already and think its a regular setup | 22:19 |
| Sebastien | k1l_ http://i.imgur.com/NpoPZvT.png | 22:19 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: to attempt to start the gui manually "sudo systemctl start graphical.target" | 22:19 |
| Bashing-om | bluefox83: ?? " when i hit ctrl alt f2 i can drop down to a terminal.." Which menas grub is working and the system foundation is consistent . | 22:19 |
| Sebastien | k1l_ http://i.imgur.com/U8Kycm0.png | 22:19 |
| Sebastien | its stuck there still | 22:19 |
| bluefox83 | Bashing-om: correct, i think it booted with the silent boot option | 22:19 |
| bluefox83 | i'm pretty sure all i need to do is tell the system to use gdm, but i forget what little script to do to set that... | 22:20 |
| bluefox83 | it's like dpkg-reconfigure or something | 22:21 |
| bluefox83 | but i'm pretty sure it's not that | 22:21 |
| Sebastien | Retrying in 3 seconds... | 22:21 |
| Sebastien | Can't connect to imjustabot.tk (52.90.78.71) | 22:21 |
| Sebastien | SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2.3 | 22:21 |
| Sebastien | its where im stuck | 22:21 |
| Sebastien | k1l_ ^ | 22:21 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: try to start the service manually as I suggested and see what erorrs, if any, are | 22:21 |
| woden | random question, is KVM a linux equivalent to HyperV? | 22:21 |
| compdoc | pretty much | 22:21 |
| daftykins | woden: in its' most loose terms, yeah | 22:21 |
| bluefox83 | TJ-: when i use 'sudo service gdm start'nothing happens... | 22:22 |
| k1l_ | regedit: "sudo fsck /dev/sdXY" where XY is to set to the partition. check that in the live system with sudo parted -l | 22:22 |
| woden | loose terms is all I need for android studio :D | 22:22 |
| TJ- | woden: Kernel Virtual Machine, is the hardware/OS integrated support for virtualisation, which is used in QEMU | 22:22 |
| nicomachus | bluefox83: that's not the command he suggested. "sudo systemctl start graphical.target | 22:22 |
| regedit | k1l_: thanks! doing so... | 22:22 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: it wouldn't. 15.10 will generally be using systemd-init not Upstart | 22:22 |
| regedit | oh actually, while i'm here | 22:23 |
| Bashing-om | BKuhl: You are systemd now with the inot system .. that last is a 'upstart' command . | 22:23 |
| compdoc | kvm is great for hosting servers that run 24/7. thats what I use it for | 22:23 |
| regedit | can anyone tell me how to get rid of superfluous grub menu options? boot-repair only seems to have added a few duplicates of a windows EFI boot manager, how to remove 'em all? | 22:24 |
| regedit | the machine does not have windows anymore | 22:24 |
| regedit | and i even efibootmgr -B the windows option | 22:24 |
| regedit | are there still EFI booting files for windows tho? | 22:24 |
| TJ- | regedit: generally "update-grub" ... but if os-prober finds signs of other OSes, or there are UEFI boot-loaders in the /boot/efi/ file-system, they may get added | 22:24 |
| bluefox83 | nicomachus: that did not do anything either | 22:24 |
| regedit | TJ-: so should i just delete the windows folders in /boot/efi ? | 22:25 |
| TJ- | regedit: that'd do it :) | 22:25 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: can you ssh to that server with that account from a proper ssh client? | 22:25 |
| Sebastien | not without the damm .pem key file or whaetever its called | 22:25 |
| Sebastien | (free vps from amazon) | 22:26 |
| Sebastien | but you know what, forget about it | 22:26 |
| Sebastien | im deleting it all | 22:26 |
| Sebastien | ill go back to digitalocean | 22:26 |
| Sebastien | its so much easier | 22:26 |
| Sebastien | thnx for your time | 22:26 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: so its more a "mirc cant connect" and not "my ubuntu server doesnt work" | 22:26 |
| Sebastien | its not mirc the issue | 22:26 |
| Sebastien | lol | 22:26 |
| Sebastien | its not even mirc the program | 22:26 |
| regedit | TJ-: to be sure it's /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft i can simply rm -rf ? | 22:27 |
| Sebastien | its mircstats a completely different program | 22:27 |
| k1l_ | s/mirc/mircstats/ | 22:27 |
| Sebastien | technically, its a ftp client that generated html pages. | 22:27 |
| Sebastien | nothing else | 22:27 |
| Sebastien | using port 22 | 22:27 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: its the issue here. | 22:27 |
| TJ- | regedit: yes | 22:28 |
| Sebastien | k1l_, the thing is, i never had this issue before | 22:28 |
| Sebastien | yall gave me like 10 commands to try, and chmods, and chown and add to groups | 22:28 |
| Sebastien | none of it worked. | 22:28 |
| Sebastien | i give up | 22:28 |
| Sebastien | thnx | 22:28 |
| Razzdoll | Hey all, hows everyone. I have a bit of a problem. When I start my system up, all I have is ubuntu on it, but anyway, when I start it up. It halts for a few seconds to a minute with this image: (http://postimg.org/image/m2ttqbdqd/ ) - i dont know what it means or if its even the reason for halting. and then when is done. it goes to the terminal screen vs the gui for a small bit. | 22:29 |
| Razzdoll | Please help if anyone can :) | 22:29 |
| regedit | TJ-: k thanks! | 22:29 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: like i said: we can only solve issues we know the setup. and set server already seems messed up. so everytime there was a new info the commands changed. | 22:29 |
| daftykins | Razzdoll: is this computer an antique by any chance? | 22:30 |
| daftykins | old and slow? | 22:30 |
| Sebastien | k1l_, its default amazon ubuntu server with LAMP installed. running one eggdrop bot, and one znc (irc bouncer) | 22:30 |
| Sebastien | nothing weird here. | 22:30 |
| Razzdoll | daftykins, no. everything other then this works fine | 22:31 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: i looks like that the file and folder permissions are already spoiled. like i explained several times now. | 22:31 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: so it eventually arrives at the GUI greeter and you can log-in fine? | 22:31 |
| Sebastien | what do you mean by spoiled? | 22:31 |
| k1l_ | Sebastien: start with a proper setup. not blindly putting commands in until it somehow runs | 22:31 |
| Sebastien | its easy for me to rm -rf them and re upload them | 22:31 |
| Sebastien | -.- | 22:31 |
| daftykins | Razzdoll: try checking out "bootchart" for info on what delays your boot time. | 22:32 |
| Razzdoll | TJ-, yes.but halts for some reason. | 22:32 |
| Razzdoll | daftykins, ok I will thanks | 22:32 |
| daftykins | Sebastien: that's a foolish command and approach. | 22:32 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: time to read the system logs. What Ubuntu release "cat /etc/issue" ? | 22:32 |
| Sebastien | k | 22:32 |
| Sebastien | w/e | 22:32 |
| daftykins | Sebastien: this isn't the place for teenager tantrums and bad attitudes :) | 22:33 |
| Ben64 | Sebastien: thats the attitude that probably causes most of your issues. take more care and put effort into what you're doing | 22:33 |
| Razzdoll | TJ-; Ubuntu 15.10 \n \l | 22:33 |
| marus | can any one tell me why i can't found my wlan psk under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ssid ?? | 22:34 |
| Sebastien | daftykins, im not a teen, im 31 yrs old. and im fucking pissed that nothing i try or attempt works, even with all the commands everyone gave me here, it still does not work. i tried to add a new user, add it to a group (www-data) i trhied to chmod the files, i tried to to it manually, with 3 different sFTP clients. | 22:34 |
| Sebastien | none of it works | 22:34 |
| Sebastien | so before starting to fucking insult me for no fucking reasons, shut the fuck up | 22:34 |
| Sebastien | thanks | 22:34 |
| k1l_ | i think we should not put Sebastien into defence too much. lets move on | 22:34 |
| === Aaaaand_ is now known as Aaaaand | ||
| Razzdoll | hey calm down | 22:34 |
| marus | can any one tell me why i can't found my wlan psk under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ssid ?? with GUI i can see the PSK | 22:34 |
| Razzdoll | Sebastien, that isnt nice. i think they are trying to help | 22:34 |
| Sebastien | no, he is insulting me for trying ( daftykins is ) | 22:34 |
| Sebastien | everyone else is friendly, and helpful | 22:35 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: OK, so it's using systemd-init system. Check the logs for problems with "sudo journalctl" and scroll through it looking for anything highlighted by journalctl (those are the messages worth focusing on) | 22:35 |
| daftykins | Sebastien: no i'm saying your words and attitude are those of a youngster, don't use that language in here. | 22:35 |
| k1l_ | daftykins: lets move on | 22:35 |
| daftykins | i wasn't going to backspace that :) but sure | 22:35 |
| marus | can any one tell me why i can't found my wlan psk under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ssid ?? with GUI i can see the PSK | 22:37 |
| TJ- | marus: the connection isn't a system-wide connection, just for that user | 22:37 |
| marus | TJ-: wich mean? | 22:38 |
| Forgath | I fucked up and installed the wrong libc6 from a deb file, how would I undo this? | 22:38 |
| daftykins | Forgath: that's inappropriate language for this channel | 22:39 |
| TJ- | marus: which means it is stored in the user's home, not in the system /etc/ directry | 22:39 |
| Forgath | daftykins, Sorry, wont happen again | 22:39 |
| TJ- | Forgath: reinstall the system | 22:39 |
| k1l_ | Forgath: show a "apt-cache policy package" in a pastebin please. where package is the package name | 22:39 |
| leSaucy | Forgath: Boot into rescue mode, mount your drive, then dpkg -x the right libc deb, once it reboots re-install the same deb to keep dpkg happy | 22:40 |
| TJ- | Forgath: under what circumstances would you install the primary C standard library, that the entire system depends on, manually ? | 22:41 |
| k1l_ | honestly i would try to apt-get install package-version first if that works. | 22:41 |
| marus | TJ-: do you know wich file in home directory it's? | 22:44 |
| TJ- | marus: I'm not sure; I'd have to create a new user-only connection to find it | 22:45 |
| Forgath | I will read up on your leads and get back. | 22:45 |
| Razzdoll | TJ-, The way I am understanding it is the highlights are in red, in this case; sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found, Failed to query NVIDIA devices. Please ensure that the NVIDIA device files (/dev/nvidia*) exist, nm_device_get_device_type: assertion 'NM_IS_DEVICE (self)' failed, and a few others. | 22:45 |
| marus | TJ-: because i search that for days.. | 22:45 |
| piramboiano | fg | 22:46 |
| piramboiano | dhg | 22:46 |
| piramboiano | fdh | 22:46 |
| piramboiano | dgh | 22:46 |
| piramboiano | fgd | 22:46 |
| piramboiano | Fuck it | 22:46 |
| Razzdoll | TJ-, also, systemd? I know I have lightmd in here somewhere. | 22:46 |
| marus | TJ-: i want to create a tool like WirelessKeyView for ubuntu | 22:46 |
| TJ- | marus: I was wrong. A per-user connection is still stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ but has "permissions=user:...." added in the "[connection]" section | 22:48 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: the mention of 'nvidia' suggests the correct GPU driver isn't installed | 22:48 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: try "ubuntu-drivers devices" to check | 22:49 |
| Razzdoll | TJ-, I dont know what I'm looking for. I do know my graphics card is a GTx 650 | 22:52 |
| marus | TJ-: i have analyzed this files befor, but the WPA-PSK is not stored there | 22:52 |
| Razzdoll | Geforce * | 22:52 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: do "pastebinit <( ubuntu-drivers devices )" | 22:52 |
| TJ- | marus: "man 5 nm-settings" and search for "psk" - it should be in the "[wifi-security]" section. | 22:54 |
| Razzdoll | TJ-, it goes to a >prompt | 22:54 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: you typed unmatched quote marks. try typing another " and then press Enter | 22:55 |
| Razzdoll | TJ-, ah yes I did.sorry. thank you. | 22:55 |
| Razzdoll | TJ-, by the way. I didnt know about pastebinit. thanks lol | 22:55 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: it's our saviour :D | 22:56 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: don't forget to tell us the URL it gives you! | 22:56 |
| daftykins | until something better comes along ;) | 22:56 |
| Razzdoll | I spoke too soon TJ-, Unable to read from: <( ubuntu-drivers devices ) | 22:56 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: try redoing the command; everything inside the " marks, but don't type the quotes themselves. Usually we expect you'll copy/paste the commands to a terminal | 22:57 |
| Razzdoll | lol ;) | 22:58 |
| Razzdoll | oops | 22:58 |
| Razzdoll | misread that | 22:58 |
| Razzdoll | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14394386/ | 22:59 |
| Razzdoll | I definitely was typing the quote marks | 22:59 |
| Razzdoll | haha | 22:59 |
| bluefox83 | ok...so i had an error when i logged in about a failure from a user@1000.service or something and i can't seem to find the error | 23:00 |
| marus | TJ-: doesn't tell wehre is the PSK | 23:00 |
| bluefox83 | i'm wondering if it has something to do with why i can't get gdm or lightdm or anything really to show up././. | 23:01 |
| TJ- | marus: I see it in the connection file in .../system-connections/<connection-name> | 23:01 |
| bluefox83 | also...i booted with nomodeset and now the f7 screen is sitting there with a ubuntu loading screen, but it's not doing it's normal loading stuff... | 23:02 |
| TJ- | Razzdoll: so you see for the Nvidia device a list of all matching driver packages. Generally, the best will be the nvidia package with the highest version number, but you can ask that tool to install the 'best' with "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" | 23:03 |
| bluefox83 | also my laptop happens to now be sharing terminal screens to my tv (via hdmi) full screen...which is way better than before | 23:03 |
| marus | TJ-: you have psk-flags set to 0, i have it set to 1, is that true? | 23:03 |
| bluefox83 | it was in an itty bitty screen before | 23:03 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: sounds like it's using the open-source GPU driver | 23:03 |
| Razzdoll | TJ-, I see. Thank you. I still have along way to go lol | 23:03 |
| bluefox83 | TJ-: spiffy...but how do i get it to pick a login manager to load? | 23:04 |
| bluefox83 | or to load anything? | 23:04 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: is the system using systemd-init "systemctl status" ? | 23:05 |
| bluefox83 | TJ-: i don't know...i forget how to find out | 23:05 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: "systemctl status" | 23:06 |
| marus | TJ-: can you confirm that? why my networkmanager set the flage in my case to 1 and in your case to 0? | 23:06 |
| TJ- | marus: there is no psk-flags so I'd assume the value would default to 0 | 23:06 |
| bluefox83 | TJ-: system failed to connect, operation not permitted | 23:06 |
| daftykins | 'sudo' first | 23:07 |
| bluefox83 | oooh | 23:07 |
| marus | TJ-: thank you ;-) | 23:07 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: you may need sudo - I have my default user in several prvileged groups so I don't always need sudo | 23:07 |
| bluefox83 | uhoh, i tried sudo, still says it's not permitted | 23:07 |
| TJ- | marus: in which case I'd suspect the actual PSK will be in the user's wallet, or somewhere else secure | 23:07 |
| marus | TJ-: why is that not documented, i've search for that witout success | 23:08 |
| bluefox83 | when i booted from the grub menu this time i used the upstart selection... | 23:08 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| TJ- | bluefox83: sounds like it's not using system-init then. how about "sudo initctl list" | 23:09 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: aha! so it will be Upstart! | 23:09 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: in which case "sudo service lightdm start" should start the GUI | 23:09 |
| TJ- | marus: it is! "man 5 nm-settings" against "psk-flags" says see the "Secret flags types" section | 23:10 |
| bluefox83 | TJ-: job is already running, and ubuntu screen is still on f7 | 23:11 |
| marus | TJ-: you're right, PSK will be in the user's wallet :-) | 23:11 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: that's interesting, so how about restarting it? "sudo service restart lightdm" ... and if you don't see any change on-screen, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and possibly the logs under /var/log/lightdm/ | 23:12 |
| bluefox83 | TJ-: i removed lightdm in favor of gdd. which i restarted...and now my f7 screen wont load at all | 23:12 |
| bluefox83 | er, gdm | 23:12 |
| bluefox83 | TJ-: i think i need to reinstall the radeon drivers... | 23:16 |
| cfoch | is there a way to put my theme dark? | 23:16 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: well, in that case, you're more on your own since ubuntu dropped gdm in favour of lightdm. It got demoted to the Universe component | 23:17 |
| cfoch | I am using GNOME Tweak Tool enabling ¨dark¨ theme but it doesn´t work | 23:17 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: that could be it; the /var/log/Xorg.0.log might be useful for that kind of issue | 23:17 |

| docron | Anyone really use Zenity anymore? | 23:21 |
| daftykins | docron: that's more a poll than a support question | 23:21 |

| Guest61540 | ok so how do i get chrome to run netflix | 23:22 |
| daftykins | install it, visit, log in | 23:22 |
| docron | Just recovered from a disastrous Prime vidmem situation. | 23:22 |
| TJ- | bluefox83: with AMD the fglxr situation seems particularly prone to weird problems | 23:22 |
| docron | Chrome runs netflix on 1410, just not with Silverlight. | 23:23 |
| Guest61540 | thats what it keeps saying it needs | 23:23 |
| daftykins | 14.10 is EOL | 23:23 |
| docron | I know, I know... | 23:24 |
| Guest61540 | silverlight i mean | 23:24 |
| docron | It's my dedicated netflix machine. | 23:24 |
| daftykins | you must be doing something wrong, plenty of guides out there i'm sure | 23:24 |
| k1l_ | Guest61540: what ubuntu version exactly? what chrome version? | 23:24 |
| daftykins | make sure it really is chrome - chromium won't work | 23:24 |
| Guest61540 | ubuntu 15.10 | 23:25 |
| Guest61540 | wily | 23:25 |
| docron | Yes, chromium-browser will NOT work! | 23:25 |
| Guest61540 | ok so chrome not chromium | 23:26 |
| daftykins | docron: as lovely as your parrot impression is, i'm not sure the floor show is appropriate for this channel ;) | 23:26 |
