[00:08] sweet, updating fstab did the trick [00:09] is it possible to turn off the password protection off for a session or for 1 hour or something? [00:09] thanks Jordan_U [00:09] can't believe I didn't think to update fstab /facepalm/ [00:10] i figured GRUB wasn't even installed :) [00:10] Extreminador: why? you can just switch with 'sudo -i' [00:10] It was getting past grub, then sitting at a flashing underbar [00:10] ah ok [00:11] reaaly ty [00:11] which I suppose I should have recognized as a bad fstab, since I've seen it before [00:11] did not know about it [00:11] sometimes I forget how to computer [00:12] daftykins you sure... ? [00:12] sure about what [00:12] did made sudo -i and it just changed the root user prefix [00:12] ugh, pulled my old drive and now I get a grub rescue menu [00:12] yeah i figured you wanted to perform multiple tasks without sudo auth dropping, Extreminador [00:13] you may need to rephrase if not [00:13] well that is handy indeed as well [00:13] i have password protction on and evrey 2 minutos (the time i placed) it's asking for the password [00:14] hi all somewone has some knowlage in the ipv6 + ipv4 name resoluion aka getaddrinfo ? [00:14] would like to tunr that off temporary just for this session or for 1 hours or something [00:14] what kind of password protection... [00:15] desktop password protection when nothing happend's [00:15] not sure the correct name of this [00:15] sorry i don't understand at all [00:15] gordonjcp, [00:15] hi sebastian_. what's your actual question? [00:16] tomreyn: getaddrinfo takes 20 seconds for every host that is accesable via ipv4 and ipv6. this also affects programs like sudo [00:16] sebastian_: resolver issues? [00:16] So I've booted into my SSD [00:16] but if I pull the original drive, it drops to grub rescue on boot [00:16] how do I remove the old grub entry [00:17] tomreyn: ive disabled my local resolver [00:17] sebastian_: check whether your name server works fine, using dig [00:17] Okay... So earlier i was suggested to do a fresh install of ubuntu in order to stop my system from Crashing. So i wiped my whole ubuntu partition and installed a 64bit version of Ubuntu 14.04.3 [00:17] Extreminador: screen lock maybe? like a screensaver? [00:17] daftykins yess that [00:17] tomreyn: ipv6 lookup is fast [00:17] tomreyn: ipv4 also [00:17] apologies for the n00b question, but I am having frequent X crashes (screen locks up, mouse won't move, can't switch to a different virtual terminal). what logs should I look in to try to debug the issue? [00:17] i have that set for evre 2 min to go to the session menu and ask again for the password [00:17] sebastian_: anything in dmesg? [00:17] Extreminador: err only idea i can think is changing it to never in display/power options [00:17] tomreyn: "host" is also fast [00:18] yehh that what i thought ty [00:18] Before that, i was told to use the command "dpkg -l > installed.txt" to make a list of all my installed programs so that i can use "dpkg --set-selections < installed.txt" to reinstall them [00:18] thompenn: assuming the system is stable, i.e. memtest and CPU, i'd check the SMART info of your hard disk in case it's causing issues - or maybe graphics drivers could play a part - /var/log/Xorg.0.log would show X crash info to some extent [00:18] tomreyn: dmesg is silent [00:19] But when i enter "dpkg --set-selections < installed.txt", i get an error [00:19] I-Am-Groot: that should've been "dpkg --get-selections > file" [00:19] not sure if that matters. [00:19] sounds like it does [00:19] daftykins, Okay [00:20] tomreyn: I've a small demo pogram and getaddrinfo is hanging is libc -> make_request [00:20] sebastian_: is the system time correct? is this a guest system in a virtualization environment? [00:20] I get this error when i do the command dpkg: error: unexpected end of line in package name at line 1 [00:20] tomreyn: a laptop with correct time [00:20] I didn't notice anything that jumped out at me in Xorg.0.log but then I don't really know what I'm looking for [00:20] thompenn: it'd be very far down, you can pastebin the whole file. [00:21] thompenn: sudo apt install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:21] tomreyn: also wireshark showed yesterday, that the dns packets are sent and recieved quite fast [00:21] Is there something i can do? [00:21] sebastian_: has it always been this way? if not, what changed between the ok and the problem state? [00:22] I-Am-Groot: That is hust a text file , open it in a text editor .. what does it look like .. particularly line 1's end . [00:22] tomreyn: the "ok" state was the kubuntu live cd [00:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14453801/ [00:22] sebastian_: and you had the same issues before and after that? [00:23] sebastian_: i.e. whenever you run form the 'default' system, i guess? [00:23] ignore 'form' [00:23] tomreyn: this is a new laptop (acer aspire v 15 nitro) I've installed kubuntu yesterday. I have this problem since then [00:23] thompenn: nothing showing up there, probably because it hasn't happened this boot? [00:23] daftykins: doesn't Xorg.0.log get overwritten each x session [00:23] yeah [00:24] sorry i should've thought of that [00:24] I have one that I got from a 'recovery mode' root shell [00:24] tomreyn: I never started the installer cd since then [00:24] sebastian_: which laptop, which ubuntu version? [00:24] thompenn: there's a Xorg.1.log too but that'd only be one run back [00:24] Hi - wtf is folder.gt.tar.gz [00:24] sebastian_: sorry you just said #1 [00:24] Ive never seen the .gt before [00:24] tomreyn: 15.10 [00:24] Bashing-om, I am trying to share the contents of the file via pastebin, but they are telling me i have exceeded the file limit [00:25] Anthaas: inappropriate language for the channel. looks like just a name is all. run "file" against it. [00:25] tomreyn: 15.10 is too old for my nvidia graphics card and my wifi card, but that is not my main issue [00:25] sebastian_: check syslog for issues during boot, try a bios update [00:25] daftykins, sorry, I didnt realise initialisms like that weren't allowed. Most places with language rules allow them. Sorry. [00:25] Bashing-om, I am installing pastebinit..hold on [00:25] tomreyn: bios update for a dns resolving issue? wired. [00:26] Anthaas: np [00:26] I-Am-Groot: Pastebin is good choice, there is also | nc termbin.com 9999 . [00:26] tomreyn: yeah that's a stretch... BIOS updates are not without risk [00:26] sebastian_: bios update for a laptop which has new hardware which you say 15.10 doesn't work well with, yet, since not new enough [00:26] tomreyn: the syslog is full of errors from my ath10k: failed to enable dynamic BW: -11 [00:26] sebastian_: can you run strace on the process when it's having the 20 second timeout? is it only getaddrinfo you see [00:27] akik: yep [00:27] daftykins, Wasn't aware of "file". You are right, just a name. Guess you can't trust people to follow even simple instructions haha. [00:27] installing ubuntu on a vm. It's stuck at ubuntu finish-install: Dosabling CD in sources.list [00:27] akik: ah strace, let me chek [00:27] Anthaas: sadly nope :( every time i write guides for people they get ignored [00:28] daftykins: this log mentions the power button at the end, which is how I have to restart.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/14453816/ [00:29] akik: strace is silent, no call is taking so long [00:29] if you have kgdb or kernel tracepoints installed, that might let you know why the syscall is taking so long [00:29] akik: but ltrace shows a 20 sec delay in getaddrinfo [00:30] thompenn: nope nothing useful either ; does this system use a mechanical HDD? [00:30] daftykins, Bashing-om Here is the first few lines from the file http://pastebin.com/Uy3Lem3W [00:30] codelion: Did you actually follow the guide that I linked to for installing grub via chroot? [00:30] ssd [00:30] I had already done most of that Jordan_U [00:30] I-Am-Groot: look'n . [00:31] codelion: I didn't ask you to do only most of it. Did you ever run grub-install? [00:31] yes [00:31] I did [00:31] thompenn: ok not disk health related then most likely, do you tend to be using video in a browser when it locks, or is it more unpredictable? [00:31] my system is fixed now [00:31] unpredictable [00:31] Okay [00:32] it does seem to happen more after periods of inactivity but that might be in my head [00:32] akik: tomreyn: the last line before the hang in strace is -> sendto(3, "\24\0\0\0\26\0\1\3p\246\221V\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 20, 0, {sa_family=AF_NETLINK, pid=0, groups=00000000}, 12 [00:32] how might I go about testing memory? [00:32] thompenn: boot a memtest86+ ISO [00:32] CptRageToaster: So this problem, "16:16 < codelion> So I've booted into my SSD. but if I pull the original drive, it drops to grub rescue on boot" is no longer happening?

Here http://pastebin.com/GFedSdKb [00:35] thompenn: nothing really comes to mind, "dmesg | tail" after a crash maybe [00:36] cool, thanks for your help! [00:36] np [00:36] I-Am-Groot: An examle of the file from my system : http://paste.ubuntu.com/14453888/ . [00:36] if you're getting a kernel panic, /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops [00:36] iirc for modern kernel [00:37] Bashing-om, Well that explains why it didnt work [00:37] I-Am-Groot: Uh Huh .. [00:38] But i used the command "dpkg -l > installed.txt" [00:38] And that was the output [00:39] I just tried it again and got the same output [00:39] I-Am-Groot: And, you got just what you ask for .. should have been ' dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages ' for the desired result . [00:39] What am i doing wrong?? :| [00:40] I-Am-Groot: so you no longer have access to the original install to get your package list from, is it? [00:40] OOhhh i see... Must have slipped the guys who helped me earlier [00:40] daftykins, no i dont. I wiped that installation [00:41] i don't really see a critical nature to just a package list to be honest [00:41] just install things as you use them [00:41] Unless these list are stored in the home folder which i backed up and have restored [00:41] don't think so, no [00:42] sebastian_: can you try adding "options single-request" to resolv.conf? try if that makes any difference [00:42] Hmmmm...i would have to install them one by one then [00:42] no? [00:42] I dont think i would remember all of them :| [00:42] why would you need to? just install them as you use them [00:42] Yea..i guess thats how its gonna be [00:43] i mean i didn't see your list file, did that actually state the package names anywhere? [00:43] hi there thank you for fixing my pc last night. now I have a new problem, windows xp virtual machine won't open up [00:43] sue: nobody should be using XP for any reason anymore. what virtualisation technology is this? [00:43] akik: do I need to restart something? [00:43] I-Am-Groot: ^^ if you do not use them, you do not need them, when you do have the need you will know . [00:44] Bashing-om, Noted! [00:44] sebastian_: no, but the change will not stick === enchilado is now known as aeonchild [00:44] One more thing, There are some Unity themes i used to have when i had the 32bit version of ubuntu. I just installed one of them and its not working very well as it used to do. [00:44] Are the the 32bit themes different from the ones 64bits use? [00:45] akik: no effect. getaddrinfo is still taking 15 secs [00:45] I have linux ubuntu os with xp virtual installed on it [00:45] sue: yes but _which_ virt tech? oracle virtualbox? [00:45] yes [00:45] I-Am-Groot: I do not run unity, and have no recent experience with it . Can not help with theming in unity . [00:45] sue: what happens? you may need to take this to #vbox [00:46] That's okay [00:46] how do I do that, I,m new to linux and virtual machine [00:49] so I have a runaway keypress event (my lenovo yoga telling the kernel it's current orientation..useful in windows for tablet mode). I have tried to set it to 255 so that it will be ignored, but have had trouble getting it to persist. anyway the 'unknown keypress' spams my dmesg, but that shouldn't be something that could cause a full X lockup, right? [00:50] akik: i guess that I can "fix" that by disabling ipv6 but I don't like that [00:50] sebastian_: is the problem only with your demo program? [00:50] thompenn: power off, remove the battery and mains power, hold the power button to discharge then power back up and see if it changes anything perhaps [00:51] sorry, mains power?

[01:08] let me try nomodeset with this usb port [01:08] ok Merci [01:08] asus_ux501: yeah nomodeset is absolutely mandatory [01:09] asus_ux501: just to confirm, you're seeing white text options on a black background when booting the flash drive... you hit 'e' to edit and add 'nomodeset' after 'quiet splash' near the bottom yes? [01:10] yes, I do that, there are --- [01:10] I type nomodeset before --- [01:10] as in "ignore_uuid boot=casper quiet splash nomodeset ---" [01:10] yep looks good [01:10] correct? [01:11] what did you say you prepared the flash drive with? [01:11] f10 to boot from changes. [01:12] give the booting from usb or detecting the usb modules are shaky, would it help if I PXE? [01:13] i'd prefer you answer some questions and attempt preparing the flash drive again from scratch before even considering a crazy method [01:14] asus_ux501: ultimately though, i don't think you're going to have an easy time with this specification of system and ubuntu right now. [01:14] not until at least 16.04 comes out [01:14] okey, ask me anything [01:14] i did, how'd you prepare the flash drive? [01:15] which program, which OS etc. [01:15] okey, the system boots to windows 10. [01:16] the program usb live creator is called Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.6.3 [01:16] you mentioned a second laptop, does the flash drive boot fine on that? [01:16] it's a windows 10 home [01:17] windows 10.. make sure fastboot is disabled. [01:17] that's the laptop I'm typing on right now. yeap, but that's my only laptop.

[01:23] no [01:23] i think its partial because the download stop or paused the last time [01:23] what are you trying to achieve? [01:25] daftykins nothing really just feel like updating my system [01:25] you mean upgrading, from what to 14.04? [01:26] from 14.04 to the latest available [01:26] it'd make more sense to wait until April when 16.04, the new LTS, comes out [01:27] otherwise you'd have to go to 15.04 first, then to 15.10 before the end of the month [01:28] back here. All went well, I even chose UEFI at boot options, on dell inspiron. booted into same USB ubuntu 15.10 without problem. (I entered nomodeset at boot options) [01:28] my mistake, UEFI was set at BIOS. [01:28] yeah daftykins think that would be fine to try 15:04 first [01:29] keli: 14.04 is LTS so you're fine where you are, unless you specifically *need* something it'd be a waste of time [01:29] Hey everyone, I was wondering how I can see a source-diff or what patch was applied when a package was updated with apt-get [01:32] asus_ux501: honestly if it were me i'd return it - why such a high restocking fee also? [01:33] it's 15% of 1.5K price [01:33] okay daftykins how can i stop the upgrade its already running cant see the cancel button [01:34] what would you suggest as an alternative, that has 4 cores, 8 threats, 16GB RAM (14") [01:34] that is Linux friendly [01:34] keli: depends how far you got, when you came in it sounded like it'd been interrupted already - not that it's in-process [01:34] asus_ux501: i wouldn't [01:35] daftykins what do you mean you wouldn't? [01:35] recommend anything [01:35] i'm not aware of the market for high end laptops, i mostly focus on portable solutions with max battery life [01:36] much less the Linux support for that category [01:36] okey, thanks for your time. I'm going to try some more and see if I can make it work [01:37] daftykins yeah it stopped but i started over again [01:37] should i just turn my network off/ [01:38] asus_ux501: it's not going to happen, even if you got to desktop the storage in there is too new to be made use of [01:38] so you'd not be able to install without major pain [01:38] $ rename 's/le$/lexx/g' doesn't work.

[01:54] mikubuntu: the profile is in /home/username/.config/google-chrome apparently - so you can murder it there (or just move it out of that folder to hide it) [01:54] then the browser will run as if clean installed [01:54] daftykins: u mean just uninstall? guess i'm not sure if it will resync all my settings on reinstall. [01:55] no i mean the profile is a folder in the above path [01:55] i've been trying to get at whether you want any data from chrome with my above questions [01:56] daftykins: just my settings and bookmarks, no 'data' there besides that [01:58] mikubuntu: yeah i don't know off hand if you can pull that out of the profile - so the folks in the channel may be of help, but if you have just the one computer i would probably create a new user account, switch to it, run chrome and log in with your account (if you were using sync) then see if everything you want comes back [01:58] then you will know if you can nuke the profile instead [02:01] daftykins: dOH! ok, i signed in to chromium and it seems to have sync-ed everything except my last open tabs -- perfect. [02:02] Text entry settings and/or keyboard indicator behind the scenes anyone? Please? === Prosody is now known as brosoqy [02:03] mikubuntu: \o/ === brosoqy is now known as prosody [02:08] i've set chrome to my default browser, yet links still open up in firefox. any tips? [02:09] firefox checks itself if it is the default, disable that? [02:10] if that was via the browser's options, check the DE's options [02:10] and systemsettings > details > default apps is the place to be [02:10] OK, maybe we can try this: I want to understand what happens behind the scenes when I choose a keyboard layout through the indicator in the status line. I think I have the necessary programming skills, but no experience whatsoever with OS/Ubuntu code. Can anybody please direct me to the source code of indicator-keyboard? [02:11] thanks, that did the trick. [02:12] jaxag, Have you been here? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/indicator-keyboard/wily/files [02:14] Thanks, g3ky! I'll try and delve into it right now! [02:15] (If anyone feels like lending a hand... :-) ) [02:19] Specifically, I'm looking for the action that takes place when a specific layout is chosen - the mechanism which causes the actual layout switch (presumably using setxkbmap? Or perhaps not?). [02:19] jaxag, Probably calling localectl. [02:22] g3ky: You think it's localectl? I thought localectl controls the _default_ keyboard layout. [02:22] SUPER + space, see the indicator-keyboard menu > text entry settings [02:23] Whereas I'm interested in what happens when the user tries to change the current keyboard layout. [02:24] OerHeks: I'm looking for what happens behind the scenes when the user super+space's. [02:24] jaxag: fwiw i think your query might get a more just response from an askubuntu or ubuntu forums post - if you intend for it to be specific to unity on ubuntu [02:25] Thanks, daftykins. I've tried askubuntu recently with a similar (albeit different) issue, and was disappointed by the lack of views, let alone answer... :-( I was hoping here I could find someone who knows something about it. [02:26] Also, I'm not familiar with environments other than Unity, but I'm not sure my issue is Unity-specific. [02:27] (Is the indicator-keyboard Unity-specific? I would assume it's not.) [02:27] jaxag: mmm not at this time really, if relevant to your interest then it might be worth going up the chain channels wise, to say #debian or even #linux [02:28] OK, daftykins - thanks for the tip! [02:28] np :) [02:31] daftykins: I think my topic, while not Unity-specific, is in fact Ubuntu-specific. For now I'll try and understand the indicator-keyboard code, and I'll try and come back if and when I have more specific questions. [02:32] Is there a good way to block users from showing up in the Unity Login page? I have a bunch of application users I'd prefer didn't show up. [02:32] (And thanks again, g3ky!) [02:32] tambu: you mean hide users at login window? [02:33] tambu, http://www.tejasbarot.com/2014/04/25/hide-users-login-as-other-user-from-login-screen-ubuntu-14-04-lts-trusty-tahr/#axzz3wnyAg2fr [02:33] lotuspsychje: yes I believe so.. they can't even login via ssh so not sure why they show up [02:34] cfhowlett: I was actually trying to hide "application" users only I think that link isa bout hiding all users.. [02:34] asus_ux501: have you had any luck with the 16.04 dailys? [02:35] Hi, I was downloading the image, i'll try shortly and report here [02:35] thanks for asking [02:36] lotuspsychje: I'm trying to hide certain users, i mean if a users account is locked why show it on login? it's impossible to login [02:36] np [02:36] tambu: the best way is to hide them all, so everyone needs to type username + pass [02:37] this ^^^ ! [02:37] lotuspsychje: .. Really? I mean the system already hides users like www-data bind avahi syslog and lots other? That seems rather extreme [02:38] usernames are 50% of your credentials [02:38] security. having the login name is halfway to having system control [02:39] tambu: really all depends why you want them to be hidden also, for what purpose...you can foolaround with adduser/useradd also [02:43] hello [02:43] tambu: there is also a way to hide specific usernames with lightdm conf tweak [02:45] cfhowlett lotuspsychje Thanks for your ideas, I just found this link gonna give it a try http://askubuntu.com/a/575390 [02:45] happy2help! tambu [02:47] tambu: i've tried method 4 myself and works like a charm, that will hide all users and manual login [02:48] asus_ux501: 16.04 any better results ? [02:51] no guys, same usb device not accepting address 2 error -62 [02:51] none of that is relevant [02:52] asus_ux501: ok reload the EFI defaults and try again === kernel is now known as Guest10036 [02:53] OK.

[03:03] asus_ux501: Older info for skylake, but worth a shot : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-SKL-Prelim-Support to see if there is a positive result . [03:09] Because i say so. [03:10] Ubuntu! [03:11] ^ good 'nuf reason for me . [03:13] Bashing-om would it relate to my case, mine is core i7 6700HQ Processor [03:14] asus_ux501: daftykins Indicated to me that you were running skylake, so yeah, that boot parameter may be valid . [03:15] only thing is i think asus_ux501' laptop model uses nvidia only and not optimus, i'm not 100% though [03:15] how can I check if asus ux501 is skylake? [03:15] it has a 6th gen core processor [03:16] i3/i5/i7-6xxx === NightKhaos_ is now known as NightKhaos [03:17] daftykins: asus_ux501 Alweays amazint to me what I do not know .. but we have an Intel error " drm:intel_dp_aux_ch i915 " We also looking at hybrid graphics ??

[03:18] perhaps text boot is going to end up being worthy of a try, or at least deleting "quiet splash" [03:18] daftykins: asus_ux501 We are all in this together . I do implicitly trust daftykins judgement . [03:18] lotuspsychje: it's not installed, as a Linux can't even be booted yet [03:19] daftykins: but does he want dualboot or single? [03:19] lotuspsychje wouldn't even allow ubuntu test, let alone installing [03:19] I want single boot, I don't use windows, [03:19] even if I have to do dualboot, I won't use windows [03:20] asus_ux501: you 100% sure you disabled fastboot and secureboot right? [03:20] lotuspsychje: daftykins : asus_ux501 :: Nor have we acertained that " NVMe " is at play here . [03:20] exactly sure [03:20] kk [03:20] it's totally going to be whack-a-mole with problems [03:21] and i'm not even sure there's a mallet on the end of the chain tethered to the penguin [03:21] I had them ON before, but saw the prompts and disabled them. I'm glad to see you agree and we don't need them. [03:21] asus_ux501: no weird intel bios option to block install new Os neither? [03:21] asus_ux501: i recall seeing that option on 1 machine in the past [03:22] I'll check again to see if there's any hidden option.

[03:26] asus_ux501: yeah that's what has us suspect it could be too new to work well [03:28] what is my alternative? shouldn't it at least bring up the live ubuntu so I can see that other drivers are working? [03:32] b1rdd0g: if you remove something with apt-get remove, the dependencies that are no longer required for anything else can be apt-ge autoremove'd. [03:32] asus_ux501: Well, no .. we are looking at driver issues for " RAID using Intel SRT which creates a smaller hibernation partition. [03:34] asus_ux501: have you tested other Os for install? [03:34] yes, centos failed as well. I've just downloaded Fedora 23. I'll test it shortly [03:34] SchrodingersScat: Can I be assured that apt-get autoremove will not remove anything that I DO need? Is there a way to preview what will get removed, first? [03:35] asus_ux501: ok, keep us up to date :p [03:35] b1rdd0g, apt-get -s autoremove will simulate not execute === nolsen is now known as GabeN [03:35] b1rdd0g: I think the condition for a prompt of y/n is if there's more than one package, that may only be for install/remove though, not sure. It's telling you right there though :^) === GabeN is now known as nolsen [03:36] hi everyone are there some powerful formatting tools to format usb or sd card for linux, I have a stubborn sd card which has defeated the method of fdisk, mkfs, and parted. it can't be formatted with those conventional ways. [03:36] b1rdd0g: ie, autoremove might prompt every time, but I don't recall times when it was a single package... [03:36] !info gparted | xuekan [03:36] xuekan: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.19.0-3build1 (wily), package size 422 kB, installed size 1852 kB [03:36] will do. thanks, you've been very supportive and good company [03:36] lotuspsychje, gparted even cant't read the partition out! [03:37] asus_ux501: nothing will help imo [03:37] tried fsck.fat, no luck [03:37] simply too new and unsupported [03:37] xuekan: can you tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugout/plugin card and pastebin to us? [03:38] lotuspsychje, the system can identify the card, it's just everytime I do a plugin, it shows the same content no matter how I formatted it. [03:39] xuekan: can you do the above please? [03:39] if it doesn't work out for me, I'll swap it with Lenovo t450s. that should work. [03:42] I am new both to Ubuntu and to IRC. It seems http://paste.ubuntu.com wanted me to setup my Ubuntu One account, which I have now done. I'm not really clear what I need to do, next. [03:43] ok, not sure what to do here, I have a liveusb that im using to hopefully recover my drives. I am trying to configure it and make it, but its erroring because of path, and compiler.. [03:43] what cna i download without downloing the fleet of comiler stuff to make it work. [03:44] b1rdd0g, now you can edit your /home/b1rddog/.pastebinit.xml [03:44] lotuspsychje, this is the paste: http://pastebin.com/i8vbvqjx [03:44] OK, I've got the text to paste into paste.ubuntu.com. Copy and paste it from there?? [03:44] b1rdd0g: ubottu is the ubuntu bot, and while she's very helpful she's not intelligent. [03:45] xuekan: we dont support mint sorry mate [03:45] b1rdd0g: also yep, once you have the link to share it, feel free to paste it if it looks safe to paste. [03:45] SchrodingersScat> I am so obviously new, here! [03:45] b1rdd0g, no need. run your command and add |pastebinit to the end [03:46] I don't seem to have a pastebinit command. [03:46] something else to install? [03:46] b1rdd0g, do this: dpkg -l | pastebinit [03:46] lotuspsychje, are you fucking kidding me? the card was formatted long time ago, the name can't be changed, through the ways I mentioned above!unbelievable! [03:47] what a waste of time! [03:47] xuekan, knock it off! no profanity and mint is not ubuntu. go to mint for support [03:47] xuekan: that language is not acceptable here. [03:47] xuekan: are you running ubuntu desktop? [03:47] I'm running debian! on which your stupid ubuntu based [03:47] xuekan: so ask #debian then [03:47] cfhowlett: how is he going to pastebinit the list if he's checking ef he has pastebinit :| [03:47] xuekan, and debian is not ubuntu either. go to debian for support [03:48] * rww looks up [03:48] xuekan: consider yourself ignored. [03:48] SchrodingersScat, feel free to add useful guidance [03:48] unfuckingbelievable! [03:48] oh good, it solved itself [03:48] rww: :p [03:49] Wow! That is so slick! http://paste.ubuntu.com/14455305/ [03:49] Why does every program need to be compiled in Ubuntu just to use a program [03:49] they don't, you're using it wrong [03:50] durant: what kind of program are you in need off exactly? [03:50] b1rdd0g, yep. now - go back to the original command you were trying to share the output of . add |pastebinit and share the url [03:50] !repositories | durant [03:50] durant: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. [03:51] I think that is what I just pasted in the URL, right? [03:51] b1rdd0g, that was the output of dpkg -l which I asked you to do. now we now you have pastebinit and can go to your original question. [03:51] If I have to share image here, which site I can use? [03:51] imgur.com [03:52] thanks daftykins [03:52] Sorry, I think I lost the plot! You see "dpkg -l" in this URL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14455305/ ??? [03:53] b1rdd0g, yes. so what was the question that brought you to irc today. [03:55] cfhowlett> I was installing some packages with apt-get, this evening. Apparently, each time I run apt-get, it finds some packages that are no longer used and prompts me to remove them with "apt-get autoremove". The URL I pasted was the pastebinit output of the command "apt-get -s autoremove". [03:56] b1rdd0g, ah! right. sudo apt-get autoremove will execute the command [03:56] What do the - in there do? [03:56] -s [03:56] -s = simulate (or is it sandbox?) [03:56] !man | lahaugen87 simulate [03:56] lahaugen87 simulate: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [03:57] cfhowlett> I know that all the *i386 packages came from an ill advised attempt to install Acrobat Reader (which I have now uninstalled). [03:57] b1rdd0g, :) that will teach you. evince reader fills the needs of most .pdf readers === water is now known as Guest44798 [03:58] cfhowlett> I completely comfortable with removing those. I have no idea what the gir1.* packages are. [03:59] b1rdd0g: apt-cache show can be helpful sometimes [04:00] cfhowlett> As long as I can be confident that I won't bolux anything, again. I am just too new to autoremove to be confident that it won't remove anything I truly need. After, ignorance got me into this pickle, in the first place! [04:01] b1rdd0g, autoremove removes residuals from main packages you have already taken out. very unlikely to cause issues but, as SchrodingersScat suggested, apt-cache show if you are truly concerned [04:02] cfhowlett> BTW, the reason I was trying to install Acrobat Reader was that I had a *.pdf form that needed to be filled out. evince clearly wasn't doing it, so I thought I'd give Acroread a try. Didn't work. Paid the price, too! [04:02] cfhowlett> Yep, gonna get a look at "show", right now! [04:02] b1rdd0g, I have windows7 in a virtualbox for that exact reason [04:04] cfhowlett> As a matter of fact, I'm installing KVM, tonight. I've started some Linux classes, and I need to be able to install several different distros. [04:04] hi, Is i'm right "sudo apt-get remove SoftwareName" is right command to uninstall package? [04:04] rahuldev: yep [04:04] package name, technically [04:04] Ben64, thanks [04:04] rahuldev, that will remove the package only. apt-get purge packagename will remove package and .config settings [04:06] cfhowlett, can I use "apt-get purge packagename" command after "sudo apt-get install remove"? [04:06] rahuldev, install remove? what? [04:06] assume you mean apt-get remove ... [04:07] Oops sorry!, yes sudo apt-get remove [04:07] actually I'm uninstalling wordpress [04:07] rahuldev, OK. apt-get purge will remove package and purge all .configs [04:08] thanks cfhowlett [04:08] happy2help! rahuldev [04:10] cfhowlett> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14455405/ I don't know of anything that uses that package, but it kinda sounds important! [04:10] b1rdd0g, no sudo on that command [04:11] cfhowlett> sudo isn't required to run apt-cache? [04:11] nope [04:11] you should always run without sudo first, and only step it up if necessary so you can learn which require it and which don't [04:12] point taken. I'm learning quite a bit, tonight! [04:13] b1rdd0g, fwiw, I don't have it either, but then I'm on xubuntu, so .. no gnome. [04:13] ask someone who uses ubuntu about keyring manager. I 'd bet there is a replacement package [04:14] OK, you know what, I think I'm just gonna let "apt-get autoremove" run, then. I have stored any keys on a keyring, that I can recall. Hopefully, it I learn that I need it, I can go back and install it, later. [04:14] sounds like a plan [04:15] Thanks for your help and explanations, tonight! I'm looking forward to getting deeper in Linux! [04:16] !fcm | b1rdd0g, may I suggest FCM [04:16] b1rdd0g, may I suggest FCM: fcm is THE Ubuntu Community Magazine - find it at www.fullcirclemagazine.org, or #fullcirclemagazine [04:21] cfhowlett> The first thing you said to me tonight was "!paste | birdd0g" And just now, you said "!fcm | birdd0g". Is that some type of IRC convention with the "bang"? [04:21] cfhowlett> Does "!" mean "don't do that"? ?? [04:22] b1rdd0g: it signals the bot, you can msg/query the bot to learn more, maybe try /msg ubottu !help [04:22] b1rdd0g, the irc channel admins have written commonly called upon info bits (factoids). to trigger a factoid, one types !factoidname and it will appear [04:22] b1rdd0g, actually !factoidname | is the proper protocol [04:22] Ah! I knew it had to mean something!

[04:25] jeffreylevesque: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers maybe be of help . conversion from upstart to systemd scripting . [04:30] that's pretty nice chart in there [04:30] i want to be able to run bash (not shell) commands [04:30] just so i can verify my systemd service ran [04:31] my trivial case is to write some trivial characters to a file [04:34] http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1373/how-do-i-switch-from-an-unknown-shell-to-bash [04:36] list [04:40] sudo apt-get install anarchism [04:42] E: Unable to locate package anarchism [04:43] It's in universe repo [04:43] sudo apt-add-repository ppa: anarchism [04:44] it amuses me that one of the screenshots.d.net shots is its page on "anarcho"-capitalism [04:57] anyone know if `ExecStart=/usr/bin/echo "service started" >> /jeff.txt` can be accomplished [04:57] i can't get the syntax right [04:58] I tried just `ExecStart=echo "service started" >> /jeff.txt`, for my systemd service, still no luck === kernel is now known as Guest15323 === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [05:09] /msg ubottu !help === nudoge is now known as Guest82976 [05:13] I messed up by delete my swap partition while it was mounted. gparted threw an error and told me the changes wouldn't take affect until I restarted. I restarted, and now my installation won't boot. [05:15] So I then either removed it in gparted from live cd, tried to boot, booting didn't work. So I edited fstab to remove the swap partition and it still won't boot. [05:16] WOnder if my swap partition is messed up [05:16] err [05:16] what happens? [05:16] I wonder if my root partition is messed up. [05:16] when you power on [05:17] When I power on, I can switch around the kernels and what not, but then it just goes to a black screen [05:18] switch around? as in you can get to a GRUB menu? [05:18] Yes I can. [05:19] if you use proprietary graphics drivers it wouldn't hurt to try deleting "quiet splash" and adding "nomodeset" to your boot params.

But when I reboot, it still has some config left for the intel media server studio sdk. Like when I typed vainfo, it should show whether intel's default or amd's chipsets.

[06:17] have your run sudo apt-get purge [06:18] plytro, its not a deb file, its something like install.sh Intel dropped deb support since 12.04 I think. There is rpm packages though.

[11:44] i asked same question 3 days ago [11:45] hello, I just installed kubuntu and was before on gentoo, can I compile my own kernel using the .config file from Gentoo kernel and use it in Kubuntu? it was a kernel made so that all needed drivers are compiled in kernel and it is booted directly from UEFI bootloader (no initrd or grub) [11:45] !kernel | sebokie [11:45] sebokie: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [11:46] ROKO__: patience means, waiting until volunteers might know the answer for you..there are no wizards here doing magic [11:46] Hi [11:46] Ms. Cleo? [11:47] lotuspsychje, 3 days waiting for promised answer [11:47] so my patience finished [11:47] and asking again [11:47] ROKO__: this attitude wont get you far here [11:48] ROKO__: if you're not happy you can always ask for your money back [11:48] How can i contact with ubuntu developers? [11:48] mur_: depends what you want to contact them about [11:48] ROKO__, for instant support, you can consider purchasing support from Canonical. Otherwise, be patient. [11:48] ROKO__: try the #gamingonlinux channel i suggested you, alot of hardware knowledge there [11:48] Have they email? [11:48] mur_: it's not one small group of people, really [11:48] mur_: there is a canonical page with contact info [11:49] mur_: is it about the project as a whole, or about a particular package, or what? [11:49] !contribute | mur_ [11:49] mur_: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://community.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu [11:49] mur_: what are you trying to achieve by emailing them? what is your problem, maybe we could help? [11:49] How to got a document doubled spaced in Libre office? [11:50] lotuspsychje, gamingonlinux will send me here [11:50] mur_: check this: http://www.canonical.com/services/contact-us [11:50] Sageless, ask #libreoffice [11:50] Double spaced* [11:50] well maybe i will switch to another distro [11:50] OK,thx [11:50] ubuntu support is so bad [11:50] ROKO__, OK then [11:50] ROKO__: there's no harm asking if they know whats best driver for your card currently [11:50] Allah is doing [11:50] Myrtti, is not problem. It is little suggestion.

[11:53] mur_: he'd be better in ##god [11:53] he's gone. let's go back to our topic: ubuntu support [11:53] mur_: so, yeah, what was your suggestion? [11:56] (in ubuntu application center > progress section) doesn't asking YES/NO when clicking exit. [11:57] Anyone knows vbox in Ubuntu? [11:57] !vbox | Sageless [11:57] Sageless: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [11:58] Why it shows me I can't do this when I am trying to start a virtual machine in vnc? [11:58] mur_: okay, so what to do is look on Launchpad for that, and file a bug against it [11:58] Sageless, this is not vbox support. ask #vbox [11:59] lotuspsychje: I've disabled secureboot/fastboot. But I think that's not actually the issue, as I could already boot from USB fine, and install the OS to my Samsung 950. The ONLY issue is that the installer fails in putting grub on the SSD. [11:59] Thx Orz [11:59] Peanut: thats weird, you also change from IDE to AHCI? [12:00] lotuspsychje: No, this is an M2 SSD (EVO 950), so it's not on a SATA port. [12:00] ah [12:00] So it shows up as /dev/nvme0n1, but the installer tries to put grub on /dev/sda, which fails. I think /dev/sda at that point is actually the USB that I'm booting from. [12:00] Peanut: and wich ubuntu version [12:01] The lastest release, 15.10 [12:02] Peanut: remind me, does the installer ask which device to put Grub onto? [12:02] hi guys! I've bought a toshiba satelite and I can't get the wifi to work. rfkill says it's hard blocked and the wifi button only switeches the soft block status [12:02] Peanut: maybe this can help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/696999/unable-to-install-grub-in-dev-nvme [12:02] how can I disable the hard block? [12:04] cuci: rfkill unblock all [12:04] lotuspsychje: yeah. that did not worked [12:05] cuci: you have a weird bios setting 'last state' wifi perhaps? [12:05] no wifi bioos settings; i've checked [12:07] cuci: what kind of chipset is your wifi [12:08] lotuspsychje: 07:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 3160 (rev cb) [12:08] cuci: has it got on-board ethernet? [12:08] gordonjcp: yes [12:09] cuci: have you got a cable plugged in? [12:09] cuci: ubuntu version? and up to date? [12:09] gordonjcp: yes this is how I have net [12:09] cuci: try it with the cable unplugged [12:09] lotuspsychje: yup I'm on the latest live cd [12:10] cuci: then, when you find that it now works, go into the BIOS and disable whatever setting tells it to lock out wifi when you've got a cable in [12:10] gordonjcp: I did still nothing [12:10] cuci: you might need to install, to get latest linux-firmware [12:10] lotuspsychje: nope some other distro gave the same problem [12:10] every bloody Toshiba pulls that stunt [12:10] lotuspsychje: very reproductible on ubuntu [12:11] cuci: tried on LTS also? [12:11] LTS? [12:11] !lts | cuci [12:11] cuci: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [12:12] nope [12:12] cuci: could give you more luck, with eth cable plugged in + updates during setup [12:12] but since on magea also reported the same problem I doubt LTS will make a difference [12:13] cuci: try a live and find out perhaps? [12:13] lotuspsychje: Yes, I've seen that page. I've managed to manually install grub from the shell that's avaialble during installation. But that still means the installer thinks it failed to install grub, and the end-result is a machine that ends up in the grub rescue. You can get it booting from there, but it's a bit of a challenge...

Where, how and why is it enabled by default??? [12:25] MestreLion: I am wonderingy why that would break your scripts. [12:26] bekks: bash does not support process substitution when unset POSIXLY_CORRECT is set [12:27] MestreLion: Whats process substition? [12:27] bekks: so any scripts using idioms like `while read a b c; do ...; done < <(some commands)` fail miserably [12:28] Hiyas all [12:29] any idea who is enabling POSIXLY_CORRECT on cron?

[14:01] hey guys, I've just moved over to Ubuntu MATE from Manjaro and I've hit a bit of a problem. My KeePassX2 data base isn't compatible with the KeePassX1 you have in the repos. What's he easiest way to make my database backward compatible? [14:01] thanks [14:01] YMMW [14:02] what is vim-runtime? [14:02] runtime for small text editor? [14:03] SchrodingersScat, Hey! [14:03] wow there's very little software in the repos compared with arch or Manjaro. [14:04] j09: have you tried installing keepass2? [14:05] akik i don't want to use keepass2 [14:05] :( [14:05] n0p3reXx: hello [14:06] a test [14:06] j09: just saying that it might be compatible with your database file [14:06] j09: compared with arch and manjaro, ther repos contains several time more software than arch or manjaro. [14:06] hola desde kissimmee [14:07] bekks it doesn't look like that from here. The ubuntu repos don't even have SimpleScreenRecorder. [14:08] j09: it's available through a PPA - like most of the software for Arch, too. [14:08] hi [14:08] bekks ppas are horribly unstable though. [14:08] j09: As unstable as the use package archives in Arch. [14:09] *user [14:09] j09, not all of them [14:09] SchrodingersScat: I'm tryin' to install GnuPA. I'm havin trouble configuring it. Can you maybe help me out? [14:09] !ask | n0p3reXx, and I've never heard of it, better to ask the channel [14:09] n0p3reXx, and I've never heard of it, better to ask the channel: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:10] Hi [14:10] If you want compile lazarus programs to win32 [14:10] install lazarus in wine and open your project, and compile [14:11] Okay. [14:11] bekks not in my experience though [14:13] are PPAs on launchpad fine? [14:15] !ppa | j09 [14:15] j09: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [14:16] j09: if you heed the warnings, and you have a stable OS for fallback [14:16] BluesKaj this is a production machine [14:16] My keyboard is weird. if I press / I get &. Where do i fix this_ [14:17] nevermind, fixed it! [14:17] j09: best to use stable repos then ..ppas are for testing not production [14:17] j09: generally some official PPA channels for certain software is safe enough for you to add, but that depends on what software you have [14:17] wow, this is hard [14:18] yeah , ppas are chancy [14:18] well Krita's PPA is safe enough to add [14:18] basically the more credible the owner of the PPA is the better it is [14:18] i shouldn't use the official keepassx because that's not being updated, but for some reason this third party one that isn't to do with the project is? [14:19] I'm moving over from Manjaro and I'm worried I'm not going to be able to find working software on Ubuntu. [14:19] if you're talking about this https://launchpad.net/~keepassx/+archive/ubuntu/daily then you probably best heed their advice on the page [14:19] j09: for the record, what's your problem with keepass2? [14:20] How to make iso from my installed distro? [14:20] akik that it's A horrible to use, B uses a load of dependencies. [14:20] e.g make iso backup of my HDD [14:20] dd [14:21] dd if=/dev/sda of=backup.iso? [14:21] akik tbh i though ubuntu was big enough that i could use most software available for linux on it natively. I think that might not be the case. [14:21] ubuntumaster: No. [14:21] j09: from my experience A) works fine B) disk space is cheap [14:22] akik top advice there [14:22] 214 meg [14:23] oh my bad that's with something else on top [14:23] yes well it is the .net/mono version [14:26] j09 what made you switch to ubuntu? [14:27] MonkeyDust the instability of Manjaro [14:28] but with all these ppas i have to install, i'm not sure i'm making a stability gain [14:29] j09 true, avoid ppas as much as possible [14:29] and i can't export kpbx to kpb files on KeePass2. Brilliant. [14:29] is there some kind of method to see if a ppa causes dependency problems? [14:31] i'm just surprised how long it takes for software to get into the ubuntu repos and why so much needs to be filled in with ppas [14:32] j09: that's the difference between stable and rolling releases [14:33] BluesKaj yeah but when i say long. i'm talking years not months [14:33] j09 it takes so long, because the software is thoroughly screened and tested [14:34] j09: that's a FUD [14:35] BluesKaj pardon? [14:36] lets move on to support rather than comparing distros shall we? [14:37] joar_: falsehood, fear, uncertainty and doubt, usually evoked intentionally in order to put a competitor at a disadvantage [14:37] j09: ^ [14:37] BluesKaj i'm not making up problems to annoy you. I promise. [14:38] j09: no worries, we're here to help , but I'm merely clarifying [14:40] So I'm at the stage where I'm trying to get my Keepass2 data into KeePassX but non of the exportable options seems to be compatible with KeepassX [14:45] j09: I see both KeypassX and Keepass2 in the repos [14:45] but not keepassx2 [14:46] hey fellas [14:46] !find keepass [14:46] Found: keepass2, keepass2-doc, keepassx, libfile-keepass-perl, W:, W:, W:, W:, W:, W: (and 5 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=keepass&searchon=names&suite=wily§ion=all [14:46] !find keypass [14:46] Package/file keypass does not exist in wily [14:46] does somebody watch youtube?

I'm using lightdm [15:08] boxmein logout, find a little symbol next to your login name ... of course, you have to install the DM, firs [15:09] j09 or there's no way to do what you want [15:09] MonkeyDust: eh, what does installing mean in this context?

[15:09] MonkeyDust: i have an xmonad source installation thing that I can startx into [15:09] boxmein e.g. suo apt install lubuntu-desktop <-- example [15:09] MonkeyDust Why i want to do is quite simple. I just want to convert a keepass2 database to a keepass1 database [15:10] MonkeyDust: yea, I know how apt works :P [15:10] it's just [15:10] where does lightdm list the available WMs from [15:10] boxmein in /usr/share/xsessions/ === noteness- is now known as noteness [15:13] this is breaking me === galvao is now known as Guest98210 [15:15] j09 use this to find more info, in terms of who to contact etc apt-cache show keepass2 [15:19] j09: there's export functionality in keepass2 to export a keepass kdb (1.x) file [15:19] i don't understand why this is so difficult. i really don't.

[15:19] j09: keepass2 on ubuntu is the .net version [15:19] akik yes? [15:20] j09: /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe [15:20] chexchat free ? [15:20] alex_ you're in the wrong channel [15:21] akik please could you explain [15:21] j09: ah ok i see what you mean. export is not working on linux with the .net version [15:22] sounds like a keepass bug, then [15:22] it's not a bug, it's just not being able to do something reasonable simple. Keepassx can't even import csv files [15:25] it's not like there's a lot of documentation either [15:26] anybody in here? [15:26] hadvidub no [15:26] nope [15:26] hadvidub type /names [15:26] i noticed :) [15:26] do none of you use keepassx then?

[17:20] why dont you try Purism or System 76 ones they are built to run linux sopadj1 [17:20] gbll, because of the price, more expensive [17:20] ok thats fine [17:20] Like the other guy said though you may need to go into the bois and tell it where to boot [17:22] yes you can do it if know how to do it well coz you dont want to mess up the bios [17:22] jdwwatts, I dont have any experiences with secureboot and similar. [17:22] i found it to work much better than the original windows that came with it [17:23] gbll, I never had to deal with secureboot I neither I am a noob in this things, so if it is something normal to do that is fine for me [17:23] I am using my lenovo thinkpad z61t since 10 years, never a problem at all, but now I am thinking to upgrade my laptop a bit ^^ [17:23] when you power up it tells you how to get into the bios [17:24] ok what about Dell Xps 13 ? my friend has it and runs smoothly [17:25] its fairly simple everything works with key strokes [17:25] yes then its fine go ahead [17:26] jdwwatts, gbll because of the price, that HP here http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-pavilion-15-ab254sa-15-6-laptop-white-10137891-pdt.html seems to be cheaper, powerful, and I think I can buy it even in the pc world next to my house so [17:27] jdwwatts, so if you say that you have the same model with xubuntu (my OS) I go ahead and buy it :D [17:29] i downloaded ubutin and put xubunu on a usb drive then went into the bios and set the boot seqence to usb and everything else was pretty much automatic [17:31] how do i search on my computer for a file named gdx.jar?

[20:04] Bashing-om: I am here: https://dpaste.de/NBSv#L5,8 [20:04] !UEFI | tp` [20:04] tp`: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [20:05] SchrodingersScat: thanks again [20:05] !kali [20:05] Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [20:05] Bashing-om: I know it is Kali but the concept should be the same [20:05] geirha: used to work for me on 14.04, how would i check from cli if vpn is connected? [20:06] alimj: Perhaps and maybe . We here in ubuntu would not know . [20:06] sruli: try nmcli -t -f vpn con status [20:06] Bashing-om: Clever :-) === aarmitano is now known as myushu [20:07] alimj: Like, i look at that output from 'Kali' and I can not relate it to what my 'buntu output is . [20:07] geirha: that work in 14.04 not 15.10 i get error "status is not a valid 'connection' command" [20:08] sruli: It's not the same command as you posted earlier [20:08] Bashing-om: All apt based distros share a lot of genes ;-) [20:10] alimj: We are all linux under the hood .. but how interfacing is done and apps configure are totally different . I can not go there . [20:10] geirha: i know, but the one u posted works in 14.04 not in 15.10, if u can help me with a command to check if vpn is connected in 15.10, i'll work my way from there to get it to work in my bash script [20:11] sruli: the one you posted earlier didn't have any arguments to the -f option. Anyway, comparing the manual pages from 14.04 and 15.10, I do indeed see that the "con" object is gone [20:12] hey all ... [20:12] sruli: apparently ''nmcli connection show --active'' instead of ''nmcli con status'' now [20:12] geirha: where do i specify vpn in that? [20:13] add -t -f vpn like before [20:13] I don't have a 15.10 install handy, so I can't check [20:13] geirha: checking. [20:14] VPN is an invalid field. [20:14] the nmcli devs should be ashamed for breaking backwards compatibility that hard [20:15] geirha: sruli: if I use "NAME" instead of "VPN", it will list the active connections by name, which then shows my VPN name. [20:15] what fields does it list without -t and -f? [20:16] Object 'vpn' is unknown. checking the man now [20:16] drop vpn too, as it's an argument for the -f option [20:16] without vpn i get list of all connection, with name of VPN i get error [20:17] yea, just running "nmcli connection show --active" lists a table. Name, UUID, Type, and Device [20:17] nicomachus: yep, i need to be able to check for vpn only [20:18] sruli: if you run that and then | grep vpn it will only show that line [20:18] what's the end-goal here? [20:19] ah, Type holds vpn if it's an active vpn connection? then -t -f type should do [20:20] nicomachus: end goal is for a bash script to return result if connected or not, this command just returns details if connected and empty if not, not sure if i can get a bash script to take that as a input [20:20] if nmcli -t -f type connection show --active | grep -Fxq vpn; then printf 'At least on vpn connection is active\n'; else printf 'nope\n'; fi [20:20] *one [20:21] geirha: let me try that [20:24] all, is it possible to add a mounted network share to your places for quick access and avoid having to scroll down? [20:25] scroll down? [20:26] geirha: "if nmcli -t -f type connection show --active | grep -Fxq vpn; then printf '1\n'; else printf '0\n'; fi" worked for mein cli, thanks, will try now from bash, dont think it will behave differently, thanks [20:26] hello === ubik_ is now known as Guest90776 [20:26] hello przemyslaw [20:26] geirha, in the file browser or whatever the "file explorer" is called :) [20:27] I [20:27] IceNine: FYI, it's "nautilus" [20:27] thanks nicomachus [20:27] hello [20:28] I don't understand what the "scroll down" entails in this context. Why do you have to scroll down presently? [20:28] how can i create chanel>? [20:29] too many different mount points [20:29] they add up [20:29] sruli: Outputting 1 or 0 sounds like a pointless operation. What are you doing with that output? [20:29] I'm having a strange issue with GRUB using UEFI.. I've got two Ubuntu installs. One has GRUB with '/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi' as name. The other has GRUB with '/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu-zfs/grubx64.efi'. Both have a grub.cfg in their respective paths that are supposed to load the grub config of he actual installation in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. The problem is that the latter EFI entry is not using its loca [20:29] l grub.cfg file [20:29] I'm not sure what's going wrong [20:30] http://imgur.com/Myj4TyD - @geirha [20:30] marlinc: are you in ubuntu right now? [20:30] Yes I am. In the first installation [20:31] IceNine: Ah, now I get it! :) [20:31] ok, type sudo parted -l | nc openterm.tk 9 [20:32] i would like to edit what "Places" shows with some custom links [20:33] EriC^^, https://gist.github.com/Marlinc/2e86503107b86d58e69a [20:33] geirha: i need to execute a script based on the connection status i can use 0 or 1 as a input [20:33] sruli: Why not use exit status? [20:34] marlinc: ok, pastebin sudo efibootmgr -v [20:34] geirha: i ont understand, what exit status? [20:35] IceNine: Looks like "Places" is hardcoded :/ [20:35] sruli: 0 for success, 1 for failure [20:35] EriC^^, https://gist.github.com/Marlinc/5e625fbc9f76e88984e9 - Don't look at the mess. Been playing with UEFI en ZFS on a USB (as you can see) [20:35] yeah my google-fu is letting me look at some forums [20:36] sruli: in a script, if you return 0 or return 1, you can signal success or failure in a standardized manner [20:36] any number from 1-255 for failure [20:37] marlinc: so what's your objective? [20:37] feitingen: tp`: that what i am doing, if nmcli -t -f type connection show --active | grep -Fxq vpn; then printf '1'; else printf '0'; fi" [20:37] sruli: E.g. if you define this function: vpn_active() { nmcli -t -f type connection show --active | grep -Fxq vpn; } [20:37] sruli: don't printf. use return [20:37] sruli: you can do: if vpn_active; then ... [20:37] yeah [20:38] Well EriC^^ eventually I'd like to replace my ext4 Ubuntu install with a full ZFS on root [20:38] so my full command should be "vpn_active() { nmcli -t -f type connection show --active | grep -Fxq vpn; }" [20:38] For that reason I'm not creating a small pool on the 4th partition [20:38] that defines a new command, vpn_active, which returns success if there is an active vpn connection [20:39] Editing Places in 14.04 - no can do - http://askubuntu.com/questions/457525/ubuntu-14-04-add-links-to-places-in-menu [20:39] sruli: How were you using it before? [20:40] What I like to do for now EriC^^ is have two boot options. One for the ext4 install and one for the ZFS instal [20:40] Install* [20:40] now, next question, probably a no as well, can you re-arrange the order of Places/Device/Bookmarks/Netowrk in Nautilus? [20:40] geirha: in 14.04 i used the original command i posted, (might have been a typo but that concept worked) [20:41] sruli: That just assigned a variable. You never showed what you did with that variable [20:41] marlinc: you could run sudo update-grub from the install that boots right now to add the second os [20:42] EriC^^, yea I know I can do that. I was just wondering would could cause the issue [20:42] geirha: the printf currently works fine in my script, is there a problem using printf? (end goal is if its disconnected then connect) [20:43] sruli: wrong no, pointless yes [20:43] geirha: how do i call the vpn_active function in the script? [20:44] What I assume you are doing now is: You check if vpn is active, then output 1, then capture that 1, then check if that 1 is 1, then do whatever needs to be done if vpn is active" [20:44] Instead of: Check if vpn is active, then do whatever needs to be done if vpn is active" [20:44] marlinc: are you sure you're booting the other efi file? [20:45] That I'm sure. The refind boot manager thingy actually shows the EFI file. When I directly boot that it still uses the other config [20:45] Could it be that the path is hardcoded in the grub efi binary? [20:45] Let me check using strings === michael__ is now known as Guest48866 [20:49] It appears it does not EriC^^ [20:49] Although it does have '(,gpt4)/root/ubuntu@/boot/grub' in the file itself :p [20:49] I can't get my bluetooth adapter to work [20:50] geirha: how would i call teh function? "if [ "vpn_active" = "1" ]; then" ? [20:51] sruli: if vpn_active; then [20:51] !bluetooth | jbwncster [20:51] jbwncster: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [20:51] if runs a command. [ is a command, vpn_active is a command. You don't need both. [20:51] does anyone know why rfkill list doesn't work? [20:51] you must install the modules for the bleutooth adapter [20:51] lotuspsychje, it's an old 2.0 broadcom adapter [20:52] jbwncster: what do you mean rfkill list "doesn't work"? [20:52] guest 48866 [20:52] anyone here knowledgeable in setting up a multi-gpu rig on ubuntu? [20:52] my motherboard only detects one gpu when i have 3 plugged in [20:52] geirha: got it, thanks [20:52] is there anything weird i have to do? [20:53] sweaty_salami__: it doesn't detect the other 2 at all? not listed in "lshw" or anything? [20:54] try lspci === user is now known as qsue === qsue is now known as sque [20:56] marlinc: i've no idea, usually i'm up for grub stuff but it's pretty freezing here [20:57] marlinc: maybe it doesn't like that it's on another disk, and then is loading the second efi file in order or something? [20:57] * nicomachus throws EriC^^ a blanket and some hot coffee [20:57] thanks nicomachus :) [20:58] Yea its rather strange.

[21:11] ive done lspci [21:11] and the motherboard shows me the connected GPU's in BIOS, and only one is detected [21:12] sweaty_salami__, You got yourself an SLI bridge on those right? [21:14] BuFF, dont know of any other way to switch to the different pcs [21:14] im in need of a new wifi card for my laptop and I dont even know which models are compatible. Is there any command to know useful information? [21:14] I dont want to buy somthing that wont work [21:15] lerner: ask the manufacturer what cards are compatible [21:15] hello? [21:15] bogdan: how can we help you? [21:16] lerner: the only advice I can provide is to avoid realtek chipsets. Panda brand is great for linux support with their USB dongles, but if you're looking for a built-in card then you'll have to keep an eye out for the chipset model and then do some googling to see if there are any issues with it. [21:16] again sorry for the late response, but no i will be using them for mining [21:16] what is this?

I know my ethernet set is 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter SiS. Is there a way of using this information to know what cards are compatible? === zonum_ is now known as zonum [21:43] lerner: All cards having that chipset are. [21:43] lerner: no === NomadJim_ is now known as NomadJim [21:43] bekks, Im quite an ignorant: what is, in my case, the chipset? [21:44] lerner: look up in the handbook or ask the manufacturer what cards are compatible. [21:44] lerner: SIS191. [21:46] o... [21:46] hi there, I made entries in crontab to run a script at 9, 12, 17 and 23 hour everyday but this is running every minute, could someone have a look If entries are wrong or okay? http://pastebin.com/e5Kn65ky [21:46] Core Logic SiS M671 + SiS968 Chipset <<< is that the chipset? [21:46] lerner: You have been given the answer, regarding your ethernet chipset. [21:47] a, thanks [21:47] bekks: he wants a wifi card [21:47] so that doesnt make sense at all to look up the ethernet chip. [21:47] if * for minute should be replaced with 0? [21:48] :) [21:49] k1l, I talk about wifi AND ethernet, because apparently in my computer both things are the same, or am I wrong? check http://paste.ubuntu.com/14463168/ [21:54] lerner: can you show a "lspci" and "lsusb"? [21:56] k1l, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14463248/ [21:56] lerner: but again: there are several different formats and build in amounts of antennas for wifi cards. so best is to look into the handbook or ask the manufacturer what card fits in and works exactly. [21:57] Hi [21:57] I asked them once something about the card and... im still waiting for an answer. manufacturer is chinese [21:57] this was more than a year ago [22:00] lerner: then ask in ##hardware or look into the wide internet if someone tried to put into that exact hardware another wifi card that worked.

[22:11] I did and got an unmet dependency error [22:11] for some of the kernels [22:12] uname -r gives me 13.19.0-39-generic [22:12] BalmoraBro: Pastebin the command and the error that the system reports . See what we can do . [22:13] ok thanks give me a minute please [22:13] BalmoraBro: K; at your pace . === Joshua_Dunamis is now known as Experiment [22:16] here we go: http://pastebin.com/QMS9ceML [22:17] BalmoraBro: Look'n . [22:17] I can manually delete the old kernels I don't need, I'm just not sure which are necessary [22:19] BalmoraBro: The only kernel that is nexessay is the present booted kernel . noce to keep one other as a back up . to see what is booting " uname -r ' . [22:19] that was just 3.19.0-39-generic [22:20] so I should just keep a 3.19.0-29 of all abi, config, initrd, System.map, and vmlinuz? [22:20] BalmoraBro: Then you keep the -39 and -37 kernels . by "manual" you means with " apt-get OR dpkg " to remove the old kernels ? [22:21] BalmoraBro: The package manager will take care of those details . === ubuntu is now known as Guest38732 === Guest38732 is now known as dev_01 [22:22] just removing them with rm [22:22] BalmoraBro: NO !!!!!!! .. [22:22] the package manager wasn't wanting to delete them because of unmet dependencies [22:22] haha ok [22:22] so i managed to fix my setup and get two gpu's running, but now the motherboard wont detect my other 2 gpu's [22:22] i have no idea what else to do [22:23] i switched them out and everything [22:23] who know how to disconnect someone's ip address or mac address ??? [22:23] liann: Pull the cable. [22:23] bekks : but with ubuntu [22:23] BalmoraBro: Then we find out what it will take to make the package manager happy ... and then remove kernels with either apt-get or dpkg if required . [22:24] liann: where do you want to disconnect it? [22:24] and my monitor only works when connected to pcie slot #3 or slot #4 (slots #1 and #2 don't register) [22:24] is this a motherboard RMA thing or is it fixable through a bios update [22:24] dev_01 : them to the box [22:24] all graphics cards work properly [22:25] liann: I mean there are in the same network? [22:25] Bashing-om: the apt-get autoremove gave me an unmet dependency error, and wanted me to install dependency kernels, which there was not room to do [22:25] dev_01 : yes [22:25] BalmoraBro: Let's look this sloppyation over . Paste ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' see what state the package manager is in . [22:25] dev_01 : but using ubuntu [22:25] liann: just configure your router [22:26] dev_01 : without the rooter is there a solution ? [22:26] dev_01 : like using ubuntu command line and disconnect them from internet with their ip address or mac address [22:26] Anyone figured out how can you can set dpms setting on startup? [22:27] BalmoraBro: We will make us some operational room. somehow and with put breaking the package manement system . [22:27] liann, " disconnect someone's ip address or mac address " is a router issue, and impossible to do from your ubuntu client itself. [22:27] Bashing-om: do you want the whole ign/get/hit stuff too or just the end? [22:27] else it is hacking/cracking i guess [22:27] 0erHerks : oh ok [22:28] liann: unless you are the server or you own the server you can disconnect certain IP's using the terminal, but if its a home network you need to connect to the router via browser and configure it there [22:28] BalmoraBro: I do prefer to see the entire output .. so we have all in context . [22:28] liann, most routers have an ACL access control list, add all valid user macs to that, and you are fine. [22:28] Bashing-om: ok! [22:29] 0erHeks: i know, but i just wanted to know if there exist an other way to cut the connection ; but nvm [22:30] Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/1JDf17fW [22:30] BalmoraBro: look'n [22:33] anyone here have experience with 3 or 4 gpu builds? [22:34] does anyone knows how to install dotnet from winetricks for x64. I've tried to do it but it's impossible. I am sure I am doing something wrong. Can anyone provide me any link. I also have been researching with not much success. Thank you [22:34] dev_01, You should be able to select .dotnet40 from the winetricks menu [22:35] BalmoraBro: So far so good ... problem installing the latest HWE kernel for trusty . Not too shabby at all . [22:35] llldino: I've tried but its not working in mine [22:36] So, make a new wineprefix, then, "Install a Windows DLL or Component" > dotnet 40 is what you want unless you need 3.0 or older versions [22:36] Bashing-om: I got the "apt-get -f install" output too if it's helpful http://pastebin.com/LjLwCLmi [22:36] BalmoraBro: How much overhead do we have ' df -h l df -i ' ? maybe there is the overhead for apt to work in ? else we go lower . [22:37] 10 mb [22:37] dev_01, Are you getting error messages? I need more details [22:37] llldino: "This package does not work on a 64-bit installation" [22:38] hi. Do all wifi cards look like small squares? like http://www.amazon.com/5300AGN-Intel-Wireless-533AN_HMW-Draft-N1/dp/B0099FLLFK/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1452463024&sr=1-1&keywords=Mini+PCI+Wireless+WLAN+Wifi+Network ? I just opened my laptop and I didnt find any small green square with golden connections and 2 holes for screws. Given that my brand is SiS thats what I was looking for, and I found 2 metalic circles with "SiS" printed on [22:38] them.. are those my wifi card? [22:38] BalmoraBro: Uh huh ... " (No space left on device) " .. gimme a bit to come up with that lower level 'dpkg' command sequence . [22:38] dev_01, Yeah you'll need a 32 bit wineprefix to use .dotnet40 I believe [22:39] Bashing-om: ok! Stupid question though: what's wrong with manually deleting the old kernels? === Joshua_Dunamis is now known as Experiment [22:40] BalmoraBro: cause you get the installed packaged out of line iwht the package manager?

[22:43] BalmoraBro: dpkg -S /path/to/file shows you which file belongs to which package [22:43] BalmoraBro: what's your dpkg -l | grep linux-image look like? and ls /boot ? [22:45] BalmoraBro: ^ but ya really have to know what you are doing . for now .. step 1 of 4, run: ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.19.0-28-generic ' as a gentle poke to see what results .

It wants me to do "apt-get -f install" which I did in the past, unsuccessfully [22:56] try again, now that you have free space [22:57] oh yeah huh [22:58] so I got an error when trying to update ubuntu from 14.4 to 14.10 and I can't skip to 15.4 for some reason [22:58] !eol | jbwncster check this upgrade link [22:58] jbwncster check this upgrade link: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [22:58] jbwncster: what was the error? [22:59] EriC^^: it was something like a bunch of packages couldn't update [22:59] EriC^^: Errors were encountered while processing [22:59] and said something might be wrong with my connection [22:59] hi ! Is there a way to mount a loopback file in userspace (non root) ? [22:59] do I have to start from scratch? [23:00] jbwncster: type cat /etc/issue [23:00] subs_: you mean an image of a whole drive? [23:00] EriC^^: oh I shut down the computer I'll play with it tomorrow and screenshot things so y'all can see [23:00] EriC^^: gzip: stdout: no space left. Maybe I'll delete some more kernels and try again? [23:00] I got a date in an hour lol [23:00] BalmoraBro: sounds good [23:01] EricC: which ones? [23:01] http://pastebin.com/QMS9ceML [23:02] jbwncster: good luck! [23:02] BalmoraBro: EriC^^ :; Just keep in mind we will have to go into /usr/src/ and /lib/modules/ and clean things up . [23:02] BalmoraBro: try removing the 30 ones [23:02] nicomachus: thanks [23:02] I realize this question may have been beaten to death but where/how do I get screensavers? [23:02] Bashing-om: nah, apt will take care of stuff when we use purge on the package [23:02] EriC^^: ok. Also I think the update was 47 mb so I can check the free space before updating [23:03] EriC^^, even worse. A full home made img, 2 partitions inside. It's the result of a loooong build process. At the end, need to ccreate an img file with 2 partitions. I could format the 2 partitions inside, but can't fin da way to mount them in userspace [23:03] subs_: sudo losetup [23:03] man losetup, i forgot the rest of the options you need [23:04] EriC^^, i'd love to avoid using sudoers [23:04] which is the tricky point [23:04] sudo losetup -d /dev/loop1 /path/to/img i think, then it'll show up in lsblk with the partitions and everything [23:04] why not? you can mount it later [23:05] EriC^^, i've found a C code that uses fuse to mimic losetup. But i can't mount the file, unless i sudo, of course [23:05] subs_: maybe you don't need sudo for it [23:05] EriC^^, for security reasons [23:06] maybe you could use gvfs-mount and pass it the device [23:06] do you have an example at hand ? [23:08] gvfs-mount -d /dev/something [23:08] it's a long shot [23:08] oh I found xscreensaver nevermind thanks [23:08] Eric^^: can i remove the System.map and api and config and initrd 28/30 kernels or just the vmlinuz one? [23:08] EriC^^, thanks, gonna dig this way then [23:08] BalmoraBro: no need to remove those, apt will take care of it later, they are too small to matter really [23:08] It looks like the only one that got removed from 30 was the vmlinuz kernel [23:09] BalmoraBro: remove a couple initrd and vmlinuz [23:09] yeah the vmlinuz kernels are 6.3 mb apiece [23:09] subs_: why don't you want to use sudo to mount stuff? [23:10] ...it looks like I have 5mb free on boot and the update was 47mb [23:10] i doubt the gvfs-mount will work to be honest, i think it uses a different list of devices [23:10] the initrds are 20mb [23:10] yeah, remove those [23:11] subs_: man mount says: Normally, only the superuser can mount filesystems. However, when fstab con‐ tains the user option on a line, anybody can mount the corresponding system. [23:11] subs_: ^ that's a brilliant idea [23:11] no need to touch /etc/sudoers or anything [23:12] EriC^^, for security purpose. can't allow a build to be an opened gate to a server [23:15] akik, it means that i have to add any img file that has to be mounted in the fstab ... [23:15] EriC^^: deleted a couple kernels and sudo apt-get -f install ran sucessfully! What should I do now? [23:16] akik, imagine i prefix those image files with a build version, or the path has some variable data in it, it gets complicated [23:17] BalmoraBro: sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.19.0-{28,30,31,32,33,37}-generic [23:18] subs_: write your own setuid program the mounts stuff for you [23:18] hi, i have an ubuntu installation where i encrypted the root partition myself manually when it was already installed (so i didn't select disk encryption in the installer). now i want to configure initrd to ask for the password and to unlock the disk. how can i do that? [23:18] subs_: I believe I have used udevil to mount loopback in userspace [23:19] EriC^^, that's an option, yes [23:19] subs_: you could write a script maybe called mountstuff.sh , and in sudoers give access to sudo mountstuff.sh , and keep that file only modifiable by root and then they could run it with privileges using sudo, still kind of risky though with holes that can be found [23:19] MiningMarsh, thanks for this idea, gonna have a look at it [23:20] like env variables and what not [23:20] wifi card located!!! \o/. It is not a small square, but like a rectangle. Now I know what to replace!!!! [23:21] I expected some answers with fusermount, but seems it's not possible [23:23] EriC^^: It worked! I got boot 72mb/236md used. Anything I should do now? [23:23] BalmoraBro: great, install the new kernel [23:24] 43 right? it shows 39 and 43 [23:24] hola [23:24] i think so [23:24] cool so is the machine all happy now? [23:25] subs_: just tested, udevil works for loopback mounting isos at the very least. [23:25] subs_: I imagine it would work on other stuff too, though [23:25] i'm not mounting isos sadly, some good old home made dd imgs [23:25] subs_: then there is the autofs system [23:26] akik tell me more [23:26] EriC^^: it looks good. Thanks so much for all your help [23:26] BalmoraBro: great, no problem [23:27] subs_: well it might not fill your requirements. it's a system which mounts things on demand [23:28] subs_: there's even a wiki page for it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [23:28] subs_: img? Afaik .img is just another name for .iso... [23:30] MiningMarsh, nope, that img i wanna mount is 1 FAT32 partions + ext4 [23:31] subs_: Ah, I see. [23:31] anyone running Anonymous os [23:31] subs_: I think udevil supports anything that udev can handle, so might still be worth a try. [23:31] anonymous_: ask their community, this is ubuntu support. [23:31] anonymous_: better ask in the anonymous os channel [23:32] EriC^^ MiningMarsh akik thank you very much for your help. Time to sleep now, but iat least i have some new tracks to follow ! [23:33] bye :) [23:33] no problem, bye :) [23:33] thanx jist thought you guys can assist in Root password reset if you dont have the password as anonymous os is based on ubunto [23:33] subs_: have a nice night! [23:34] anonymous_: maybe /join ##linux ? [23:34] thanx [23:40] <[Mew2]> hey guys, trying to find out why all my logs randomly created copies and reset? example, auth.log created and moved data to auth.log.1 and reset auth.log [23:41] [Mew2]: Sounds like logrotate [23:41] it's called logrotate. it's to stop your logs from getting ridiculously large [23:41] <[Mew2]> oh interesting, so its normal behavior then? [23:42] [Mew2]: Yes [23:42] <[Mew2]> ok cool, thought i messed something up :-d [23:42] <[Mew2]> thank you MiningMarsh and rww <33 :-p [23:43] can anyone help me troubleshoot a ruby install? [23:47] sup === kyle is now known as Guest86656 [23:47] hi [23:48] hello === marcus is now known as Guest4403 [23:48] Salut! [23:48] welcome [23:48] ? [23:51] i need some help with the way i have set up ubantu [23:52] i cant get my internal hardrive to read. [23:52] which version of ubUntu [23:53] john-external: can you show a "sudo parted -l" in a pastebin service? [23:53] 15.10 [23:53] john-external: the windows drive? [23:54] i have ubantu 15.10 on an external drive and windows on my internal on my laptop. it was the only way to ensure that i would have enough space for what i did [23:55] john-external: which drive isn't being read? [23:55] the internal drive that has windows on it [23:56] (it's spelled ubuntu) [23:56] john-external: can you show a "sudo parted -l" in a pastebin service? [23:56] it's probably in a hibernated state [23:56] !paste [23:56] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:56] going to have to lead me thue it [23:56] john-external: you have to disable fast startup if you're using windows 8 [23:56] or reboot instead of shutting down [23:56] HEY [23:58] ok i did the sudo parted -l and i shows the hardrive but i still can access it [23:58] john-external: what means "i still cant access it"? [23:58] Eric: never has been enabled [23:59] john-external: and where is the output? [23:59] john-external: it's enabled by default [23:59] john-external: that "feature" from windows is always enabled until you disable it [23:59] "error mounting
