Yukenis that baaaaad?00:04
blackflowyeeeeeees.00:05
llldinoYuken, You want to mount the partition, like "mount /dev/sdaX where X is the part. number00:05
YukenHooooow should I fix? Ubuntu Server 14.0300:05
YukenInstall of it, ofc.00:05
k1l_Yuken: where do you get that message?00:06
Yukenk1l_, as it is booting when I select "Install Ubuntu Server".00:06
YukenI'll reset the machine again to test it.00:06
cryptonit!ping00:07

YukenSelect Language, Install Ubuntu Server, Terminal with that message appears. ACPI Probe Failed, as well.00:07
k1l_Yuken: when you select install? are you sure that .iso is ok? check the md5sum00:07
Yuken"Unable to mount /dev/sda on /mount; invalid argument"00:07
k1l_!md5sum00:07
ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows00:07
ikoniayou don't mount a disk00:07
ikoniayou mount the partition00:07
Yukenk1l_, it is a fine iso, yes.00:07
Yukenikonia, this is doing it automatically, with the boot device set as ubuntu-server-14.03.iso.00:08
k1l_Yuken: did you check the .iso or not?00:08
ikoniasda is not the cdrom device00:08
Yukenk1l_, yes.00:08
bekksikonia: more technically a block device containing a filesystem.00:08
rellisAnyone aware of any bug surrounding window resizing of chrome (among other apps) in Ubuntu 15.10?00:09
rellisChrome seems pickup several graphical glitch artifacts after the window is resized... I can't tell if it's an issue with the ATI driver, or X or Chrome or what00:09
rellisbut Firefox seems fairly normal..00:09
YukenI might just try my luck with Lubuntu, downloading an ISO of it anyway.00:11
zamabeikonia: I filesystem what I want! /dev/sds stands for Steam Does Stuff! :p00:14
ikoniazamabe: what ?00:14
zamabeikonia: ignore, am being ridiculous.00:15
zamabe"You don't mount a disk"00:15
bekkszamabe: Oh, you do, as long as it contains a filesystem.00:16
zamabebekks: was going for the "I do what I want" meme more than technical accuracy00:16
zamabebut, yes, that00:17
bekkszamabe: Not in the mood for occasional jokes, struggling an Oracle APEX issue here ;)00:18
zamabeI didn't address it to you, so have fun with your own mood00:18
bekkszamabe: No offense meant.00:19
rellisAnyone know of any documented 15.10 issue that might cause GTK+ apps to glitch badly after the window is resized?00:19
ikoniawhy not look on launcpad.net00:19
ikonialaunchpad.net00:19
rellisikonia: I did, I just havent dug anything up.00:19
ikoniathats where it will be documented00:19
rellisright, there's just about a hundred million bugs to sift through =p ... i thought maybe someone here had encountered a similar issue00:20
rellisI'm also not sure it's specific to GTK+ and not an ATI driver issue.00:21

sebsebsebbencc: whhy?00:43
eikon81gtry using achi00:43
eikon81gare you using a usb to install? ChiLLabiS00:44
nchamberstwo questions: how can I install openssl with apt-get, and since I'm assuming apt-get will invoke a c compiler to build it, how do I tell apt-get which compiler to use00:44
ChiLLabiSdon't know, haven't checked eikon81g . i've just plugged in everything and everything else went good. I haven't touched the bios settings yet00:44
ChiLLabiSyes i'm using a usbstick00:44
ChiLLabiSit have worked before on the previous computer00:44
eikon81gChiLLabiS, go to your bios and change the boot order to USB first then set your sata mode to achi00:44
eikon81gChiLLabiS, are you going to be doing a clean install?00:45
ChiLLabiSeikon81g, i'm pressing down F8 so i get the boot menu. From there i choose the usb stick. I get the first loading screen with that wierd picture in the bottom centre00:45
ChiLLabiSI'm going to do a clean install yes00:46
eikon81ghow did you make the usb installer?00:46

eikon81gso when you boot of the usb it starts getting goofy? Is the graphics card integrated or are you using an actual card?00:47
ChiLLabiSi'm doing a new image on the usb stick. I'm coing to take a picture on the error screen. It's too wierd to describe00:47
Bashing-omnchambers:  openssl is installed by default "ii  openssl        1.0.1f-1ubun amd64        Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - cr" and from the repo one obtains a binary, no comping is required .00:47
ChiLLabiSYeah everything works great in windows00:47
nchambersoh sweet00:47
ChiLLabiSgoing*00:48
eikon81gok, that's odd.. are you sure the usb stick is in good working order?00:48
ChiLLabiShow do i check that?00:48
ChiLLabiSi'm going to reboot and take the picture. brb00:49
eikon81gwell have you had any issues with it? did you format it before trying to create the installation in RufuS00:49
benccsebsebseb: I need to create a python daemon. so I probably need systemd for that00:49
benccnot sure00:49

nchambersok new question after some googling... I've got GCC5.3.0 that I built from source and is on my path as <progname>-5.3.0 (so for example, gcc-5.3.0) (but not where the system gcc sits). I want to build python 2.7.11 (and 3.4.0) from source. I can do it fine on my system, but it doesn't have extra packages like tls/ssl support or ncurses. so if I were to sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libncursesw5-dev etc, is there anything special I would00:55
nchambershave to do for my compiler to find it/python to build with it00:55
sarinkcan anyone tell me how to troubleshoot this issue?   http://192.168.1.93  gives me "connection refused"    ifconfig shows my local ip is 192.168.1.93 .... navigating to http://localhost works just fine. all firewalls are off. traceroute 192.168.1.93 shows 1 hop, to my laptop, so i know it's definitely the right ip00:57

Guest302Hi- My brother helped me get to this site.. he said it was like apple support for Linux.. and now my Linux is acting really weird, and I need help. But.. I'm like.. sort of stupid with technology.00:58
sarinkGuest302: what is the problem00:58
tewardGuest302: Is your LInux system running Ubuntu?00:58
llldinosarink, You disabled iptables?00:58
Guest302I go onto a website, paltalk express, and usually there's no problem. but now it's like a part of the website refuses to be ran through any of my browsers, but it's working fine on my windows desk top.00:59
Guest302Yeah, Ubuntu.00:59
sarinkGuest302: i do not understand what that means00:59
tewardGuest302: did you happen to try on Google Chrome, per chance?01:00
Guest302I did try on chrome. I don't know how to describe the problem too well, but I guess I have a question that might help. Is there a way to do a system restore on linux?01:00
sarinkllldino: well, uh, im actually on osx (im trying to ultimately get http://my-ip to point to my ubuntu VM, though) - like i said if i go to http://localhost, it works (i've used pf to forward port 80 to the guest vm)01:01
sarinkllldino: so, there are no 'iptables' on osx, is where i was doing with that01:01
sebsebsebGuest302: hi01:01
Guest302hi.01:01
sebsebsebGuest302: oh a new user to Ubuntu/Linux not so technical ok :),  I used to help loads of people like you before01:01
sarinkllldino: there's ipfw?01:02
sarinkor pfctl01:02
sebsebsebGuest302: I hae used pal talk in Windows01:02
llldinosarink, Okay, so on your Ubuntu VM, is iptables diabled? By default iptables blocks incoming tx01:02
sebsebsebGuest302: before not in Linux, but yes I know waht Paltalk is01:03
sebsebsebGuest302: what's the link to Paltalk Express?01:03
llldinosarink, If not, you'd have to forward port 80 (or whatever) on any firewall you have on your ubuntu vm01:03
Guest302http://express.paltalk.com/01:03
sebsebsebGuest302: I used to use the old real Pal Talk program a bit in Windows, many many many years back01:04
sebsebsebGuest302: got baned from some of there rooms even back then heh, but I was really young back then to01:04
sarinkllldino: if i change it to port 5000, it works.01:04
Guest302Well, you know how people talk on the mic? Well, on my system it won't let me hear mic talkers.01:04
sarinkllldino: what would i run on the ubuntu side to do that?01:04
sebsebsebGuest302: somethng came up on the site, do I need a user name and passwrod to try it, hmm I guess so01:05
Guest302Would you like me to make you a nic?01:05
Guest302just to use as a guinnie pig?01:05
llldinosarink, Can I see the output of "sudo iptables -L"? You can PM me, I wouldn't share that pubicly01:06
sebsebsebI could make my own account,  kind of wanted to maybe play with pal talk again anyway01:06
sebsebsebnot sure how Linux friendly it will be or not though01:06
sebsebsebI guess time to find out then :d or get an idea01:06
sebsebsebI have a feeling it will sti be made for Windows and Mac really, maybe even Android these days01:06
Guest302Well, there's no way to download it, but you can go through the express.01:06
tewardGuest302: I would reach out to their support - if it's not working on Linux it's possible you're missing plugins is all01:07
sebsebsebmany years ago Paltalk was a downloadable program for Windows etc, but I guess that might hae changed01:07
sebsebsebindeed to what teward put01:07
sebsebsebor maybe some issues with pulseaudio or something01:07
sarinkllldino: huh, it appears..... there's no iptables on my vm. i built a bare ubuntu 14 box. is it not installed by default01:07
Guest302what's a plugin?01:07
tewardGuest302: but, we're not really going to be able to give much insight to why something not under your or ours control is not working anymore (you're not being specific about "not working" anywhere, so we can't really begin to guess the problem)01:07
sebsebsebGuest302: pal talk express is rooms like bfore I guess01:07
llldinosarink, You ran that as root right?01:07
sebsebsebteward: I think the issue is that the microphone doesn't work on pal talk express01:08
sarinkllldino: yeah, "sudo: iptables: command not found"01:08
sebsebsebteward:but yes it might be made more for Windows etc, I'll take a look01:08
Guest302Oh okay, thank you for all your help, though.01:08
sebsebsebGuest302: I am currently on Ubuntu myself, I have most of the correct standard things installed Flash and blbah de blah01:09
tewardsebsebseb: never got my mic to work for Google Hangouts either heh.  That seems to be a Flash issue though01:09
tewardsebsebseb: regardless, we're still limited in troubleshooting01:09
Guest302sebsebseb: I think Linux is too hard for me; I dunno.01:09
sebsebsebGuest302: I know my microphone that's an internal one in the PC, I know it can work with other things.  I'll try pal talk express, but yeah it's just chatrooms like before I guess?01:10
sebsebsebGuest302: no Linux will be fie it's just sometiems....01:10
sebsebsebLinux will be fine it's just sommetimes....01:10
sebsebsebGuest302: some things don't quite work like Windows let's put it that way, but it's not Linuxes fault01:10
Guest302sebsebseb: yeah, it is. The problem isn't my mic. I just can't hear anyone else talking on mic.01:10
Guest302It's not Linux, haha. It's me.01:10
sebsebsebnah your microphone m ay need some configuring for Ubuntu01:11
sebsebsebdepending on what microphone etc01:11
sebsebsebdoes it work with anything else in Ubuntu saying that?01:11
sebsebseboh and hearing others would be the spakers really,  but yes your sound may need some configuring in genral in Ubuntu, depends01:12
Guest302I don't know- I can use everything else regularly.01:12
Guest302How do I configure it01:12
Guest302?01:12
sebsebsebGuest302: this isn't for configuring, but would be rather for testing recording sound and then hearing it back,  if you installed audacity for example and tried, it works?01:12
Guest302I've never tried. I don't know how to install things.01:13
Guest302My brother usually does that for me.01:13
sebsebsebGuest302: your that new I undersatnd01:13
sebsebsebGuest302: I could tell from your first message that you didn't know that much about this yet01:13
waters33637dmesg .. might help you see if your sound card comes up01:13
Guest302Yeah, I'm really new. My windows I guess corrupted, and my brother fixed my laptop by putting Linux in it.01:13
sebsebsebwaters33637: they won't know about dmesg though I mean undersatnd the output I guess01:13
* sebsebseb the really not so technical ones used to be the most fun ones to help, when I used to do a lot of Ubuntu support :d01:14
sebsebsebonly here in the moment since I wanted to waste sojme time whilst finishhing listening to something :d01:14
sebsebsebGuest302: ok do you have the password for Ubuntu?01:14
Guest302I know my password. I feel bad, if you don't really feel like helping, I can fix the issue later-01:15
sebsebsebthe log in password01:15
sebsebsebGuest302: o I want to help, don't get  me wrong what I just put01:15
Guest302My log in password, yeah. I know that.01:15
sebsebsebGuest302: ok don't tell any of us your log ihn password, only you need to know that and your brother01:15
sebsebsebhowever01:16
Guest302Okay. Yeah, I wouldn't have done that.01:16
sebsebsebyou have two ways to install software01:16
sebsebsebthe graphiacl Ubuntu software centre or  the terminal01:16
nicomachusGuest302: imagine the Software Center as an "app store", like Google Play or the iTunes App Store.01:16
sebsebsebyep to what nicomachus put01:17
Guest302Oooo okay.01:17
sebsebsebGuest302: and the terminal is where you put commands,  which your probably not uwsed to from Windows, but can do that a bit in Windows even run comands01:17
sebsebsebGuest302: commands to tell the computer/Ubuntu/Linux what to do01:18
Guest302Yeah, I saw my brother open the terminal. Coding came up.01:18
sebsebsebGuest302: Graphical can be nice, but is a bit slower to really any of the graphical programs such as the Ubuntu software centre, because got to do a lot of clicking around to do  proper things with that01:18
sebsebsebGuest302:  but yes you could find audacity in that, or you could open up the terminal and put in this command: sudo apt-get install audacity01:19
sebsebsebit should then ask for password, put that in, and then it should just download and insstall it, just like that01:19
Guest302well, how do I find audacity?01:20
sebsebsebGuest302: oh and you just installed your first prograam yourself into Ubuntu then, since you said your brother had done it all so far otherwise01:20
sebsebsebonly in the software centre you would have to find it, by looking around for it,  in the terminal it will just download and install it01:20
Guest302okay.01:20
sebsebsebGuest302: try the terminal it's more fun and better that way :)01:21
sebsebseband faster01:21
Guest302Something weird came up01:22
Guest302[katrina:/home/katrina] $ sudo apt-get audacity01:22
Guest302[sudo] password for katrina:01:22
Guest302E: Invalid operation audacity01:22
Guest302⏚ [katrina:/home/katrina] 4s 100 $01:22
sebsebsebGuest302: but yes thousands of programs are available for easy dowload and install,  via  terminal or software centre01:22
sebsebsebGuest302: that's  ok you nearly got it01:22
triacin arch linux there is AUR. why there is nothing as good for PPAs on ubuntu?01:23
sebsebsebGuest302: the command was slihgtly wrong katriina01:23
sebsebsebkatrina01:23
Guest302what was wrong with it?01:23
sebsebsebGuest302: need the install in that.  sudo apt-get install audacity01:23
Guest302wait- it's all freaking out now. It's going crazy with text01:24
sebsebsebGuest302: in  Windows  there's a sound recorder by default, which is okish, but yeah I thik Ubuntu used to have sojmething like that01:24
nicomachusGuest302: that's good.01:24
sebsebsebGuest302: it will need to put on some dependances01:25
sebsebsebGuest302: it should come up with stuff01:25
Guest302It stopped saying unknown media01:25
sebsebsebGuest302: you can show us the terminal out put,  but don't flood the channel with it, you can put on http://pastebin.com and give a link to it01:25

sebsebsebnot01:31

nicomachusChiLLabiS: ok, did you do an md5 checksum on it after creating the USB?01:32
ChiLLabiSnope, i've redownloaded the image though01:33

smartp0wnwine rlz.........01:37
sebsebsebsmartp0wn: you think?01:38
sebsebsebGuest302: bear with me, I am going to sing up for paltalk express and see what happens01:38
sebsebsebsign01:38
smartp0wnsebsebseb, it had saved my ass a few times!01:38
sebsebsebwhat do you use Wine for?01:38
Guest302take your time01:38
smartp0wnsebsebseb, like... for multiplatform devel01:39
sebsebsebusing what?01:39
smartp0wnsebsebseb, there are better solutions nowadays but I like Wine simplicity01:39
smartp0wnsebsebseb, you name it01:40
sebsebsebit's ok for running  the occasional WIndows program that wroks with it yeah01:40
ChiLLabiSnicomachus, the md5 is the same01:40
nicomachuswine discussions can be had in #winehq or #ubuntu-offtopic. That is not on-topic here.01:40
sebsebsebnicomachus: indeed01:40
nicomachusChiLLabiS: ok good. Are you sure your BIOS is selecting the USB to boot from?01:40
ChiLLabiSi'm pressing F8 to get into the mobo's Boot menu01:41
ChiLLabiSfrom there i choose the usb01:41
nicomachusok, and then selecting USB?01:41
ChiLLabiSyes01:41
nicomachusgood. and then you get that "error"?01:41
sebsebsebGuest302: pal talk expresses uses flash, well the log in screen, so that means going to have to have flash always up to date enough for it, be that Linux/Ubuntu or WIndows01:41
ChiLLabiSyes01:41
sebsebsebGuest302: about to signn up for an actual acount on it though as I said I would01:41
Guest302So how do I do flash?01:41
sebsebsebGuest302: well I assume you already have it installed if something came up on your link?01:42
nicomachusChiLLabiS: alright. do you have another machine you can try to boot it from just to verify the USB works?01:42
Guest302yeah. :)01:42
ChiLLabiSnope. I did use it to install windows 10 on this computer earlier today01:42
ChiLLabiSif i could retrieve the error-log somehow so i can post it on Askubuntu01:43
ChiLLabiS..01:43
IceNinehey all, need some help setting up an ssh connection to my ubuntu box with keys and no pass (server keeps refusing my key) - i'm following steps here - http://linoxide.com/ubuntu-how-to/setup-passwordless-ssh-logon-ubuntu-14-04/ and here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring#disable-password-authentication ; sshd_config content - https://pastee.org/p3ydx01:44
nicomachusChiLLabiS: without actually booting it, there will be no log...01:44
IceNineany help is appreciated, i'm not sure what i'm missing01:45
sebsebsebGuest302: yay security code thing that isn't liked,  the uh hold on  a little issue trying to sign up on it01:45
ChiLLabiShmm. i do get access to grub if i reset the computer and just let it load01:45
ChiLLabiScan i do something from there?01:45
Guest302you don't have to if it's a pain in the neck- I'm sure it'll fix itself, maybe.01:46
EriC^^IceNine: what's the perms on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys01:46
nicomachusChiLLabiS: you get grub? you told me it wouldn't boot at all01:47
IceNine-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 741 Jan 11 17:04 /home/barry/.ssh/authorized_keys01:47
IceNine@ eric^^01:47
IceNinei need to chown that to my user don't i?01:47
sebsebsebGuest302: uh it's not liking the security ccode on there, een though what I put in is correct01:48
ChiLLabiSwell it's get's to that picture with the man and the keyboard whatever it is and after that i get the error message. If i reset the computer and let it loads i have grub01:48
Guest302So, it's probably a paltalk thing. they'll probably fix it soon enough.01:48
sebsebsebGuest302: no they probably won't actually if it's there  issue01:48
ChiLLabiSbut the "Try live-Ubuntu" or "Installing Ubuntu" doesn't work01:48
sebsebsebGuest302: they won't care about Linux, not enough market share01:49
ChiLLabiSwell i get another error message then01:49
sebsebsebGuest302: on the desktop standard computers01:49
nicomachusChiLLabiS: is this old hardware or anything?01:49
Guest302Why isn't Linux a bigger thing?01:49
nicomachusGuest302: we all ask that every dya01:49
nicomachusday*01:49
ChiLLabiSlike this:  Ignoring bgrt invalid status 0 (expected 1)01:49
sebsebsebGuest302: good question01:49
ChiLLabiSI've newly bought a new motherboard and a cpu01:49
sebsebsebGuest302: I think since not enough people actsaully care enough about tech to find out more about it01:49
ChiLLabiSit's new stuff in the can01:50
sebsebseband Microsoft and APple are massive players01:50
nicomachusChiLLabiS: ok. I've never seen those errors before, but checking around.01:50
Guest302I wish I was knowledgeable enough, I'd keep and use Linux. But- I'm just not. I failed my Java class.01:50
ChiLLabiSis it possible to get to the error log if i can get to grub?01:51
sebsebsebGuest302: you can keep it01:51
GallomimiaChiLLabiS: oh i had this problem. you'll need to tweak mobo settings regarding legacy boot, non windows boot, and efi01:51
sebsebsebGuest302: just you might still need Windows for the occasiohanl program or two01:51
sebsebsebbut can have both :)01:51
ChiLLabiSokay! New spark for me :)01:51
ChiLLabiSSo what should be on and off?01:51
ChiLLabiSGallomimia,01:51
Gallomimiai can't tell you the exact config you need, because i just tweaked em until something worked01:52
sebsebsebGuest302: in general Linux distributiosn are better to use though, more secure etc, viruses etc not reall an issue as such etc01:52
Gallomimiabut i usually left it in efi then legacy mode01:52
Gallomimiaand obviously non-windows OS needs enable. each mobo is different tho01:52
EriC^^IceNine: try to chown them first and set them to chmod 60001:52
Guest302well, thank you so much for your time.01:52
EriC^^chown <user>: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys01:53
sebsebsebGuest302: I tried to private message you, did you get it?01:53
nolsennicomachus: That doesn't work.01:53
ChiLLabiSwell i'll do the opposite settings then it should do something i guess01:53

EriC^^IceNine: is this on the server?01:58
sebsebsebUmeaboy: so you gone back to Ubuntu :d01:58

TechspectreIs there a way to use Unity style overlay scrollbars in Gnome?01:58
GallomimiaIceNine: ah a good point. is it on the computer you're trying ssh to?01:59
IceNineeric^^ , gallomimia - yes it is01:59
EriC^^the server and client are the same pc?01:59
IceNine no01:59
xanguaTechspectre: you should be able to install it, but soon unity will use gnome own overlay scrollbars02:00
coraxxHello everyone.  Here's my question --> How does one create in Ubuntu a virtual USB Flash Drive (mounted as a virtual USB device) ?02:00
IceNineserver is my PC - client is remote02:00
Gallomimiathat seems strange02:00
Umeaboycoraxx: Install the extpack for Virtualbox at first.02:00
EriC^^IceNine: so on the client he has his private key that is linked to the public key you added in authorized_keys on the server?02:00
IceNinei even copied the setup from my laptop setup that does work02:00
IceNineyes02:00
coraxxUmeaboy: already done :-)02:01
UmeaboyThen make sure your user is added to the vboxusers group.02:01
EriC^^IceNine: try ssh -vvv user@host02:01
coraxxUmeaboy: also already done :-)02:01
IceNinewhat does vvv do?02:01
GallomimiaIceNine: transmitting private keys over any network is not really recommended02:01
EriC^^verbose02:01
EriC^^^302:01
Gallomimiatells you more info 3x02:01
IceNinek02:01
Umeaboycoraxx: Is the guestadditions iso installed as well?02:02
Umeaboyhttp://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.10/VBoxGuestAdditions_5.0.10.iso for example.02:02
IceNinegallomimia - what's the recommended way?02:02
Gallomimiado not transmit private keys.02:02
Gallomimiaever.02:02
Gallomimiaone private key per machine02:02
Gallomimiaat least, this is what i recommend02:03
IceNineso how do you "phone home", so to speak, remotely02:03
Gallomimiai guess wired LANs might be safe enough to transmit your keys over, but the question of "why" comes up. key-per-machine is easier to manage later02:03
Gallomimiaum.... what?02:04
coraxxUmeaboy: yes... but that is not relevant... so I think you have misunderstood my question ...your answer(s) suggest that I asked "how to mount a _real_ usb device in virtualbox" ...which I didn't...I asked "how to _create_ a virtual USB Device of type Flash Drive)02:04
UmeaboyI use Ubuntu 15.10 to build a working image for Sailfish OS to my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet (a.k.a Scorpion) and I'm using their HADK (Hardware Adaptation Development Kit) which can be found here: http://www.sailfishos.org/hadk02:04
IceNinelet's say you are remote and want to connect back to your home pc - without transmitting your private key, how do you connect?02:04
IceNineno password, just ssh with key02:04
Gallomimiawe're assuming that your "remote" system is your laptop. which already has your private key on it?02:05
ubernetsWhere can I upload error messages?02:05
Umeaboycoraxx: Close down the VM and check the USB settings for the VM.02:05
Gallomimiaubernets: you could use pastebinit02:05
Gallomimia!pastebinit | ubernets02:05
ubottuubernets: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com02:05
coraxxUmeaboy: uhmm ...check for what exactly ?02:06
IceNinegallomimia - yes02:06
GallomimiaIceNine: also, am i to gather that you've got valuable ssh keys floating around out there that aren't encrypted? so i could just grab them and use them without a passphrase?02:06
UmeaboyNow.............. as I prefer to narrow it down and making it possible to copy and paste every row one at a time I'd like some help into finish what I've done so far.02:06
IceNinegallomimia - whoa whoa, no passphrase?02:06
guest|32835To all of you, that are hitting on Guest302, would you please not?02:06
GallomimiaIceNine: create your private key on the laptop, transmit your public key to the homeserver. use as needed02:07
IceNinelet's not get crazy here02:07
nicomachusguest|32835: who is doing that?02:07
UmeaboyGallomimia: Can you help me with that?02:07
nicomachusguest|32835: please report that in #ubuntu-ops immediately.02:07
UmeaboyI have started and progressed alot.02:07
Umeaboyhttp://pastebin.com/KN7j4UvD02:07

UmeaboyI have started to update it with the content from the latest HADK.02:07
GallomimiaUmeaboy: copy and paste 1 row at a time? sounds like the job for a script.02:07
UmeaboyGallomimia: Yeah, there is a sfa-mer script, but currently there is no repo for my model.02:08

Umeaboybb: Use smoke signals if you have to.02:12
Umeaboy:)02:12
bbUmeaboy: ohh i see :D02:12
Gallomimiayeah. the problem is i have a raid with crypto on it. and the /boot partition was separate. i nuked that, and need to reinstall. the grub and initrd must be configured properly, and include mdadm, dmcrypt and lvm202:12
Techspectrexangua, how could I install it?02:12
Gallomimiaand i don't understand how to do that. i think i need to involve a chroot02:12
GallomimiaUmeaboy: what did you say about doing a copy and paste for every line? why?02:13
Techspectrexangua, and I heard about that. But gnome's scrollbars aren't really 'overlay' scrollbars at all, are they?02:13
UmeaboyGallomimia: Well, I like using thoose kinds of instructions.02:13
UmeaboyUniversal ones.02:13
EriC^^Gallomimia: are you in a live usb right now?02:13
UmeaboyLike the first row: cat <<'EOF' > $HOME/.hadk.env02:13
GallomimiaEriC^^: i was. but that stopped working after the latest kernel update foobared the grub install on that usb. now i'm on a separate system02:14
EriC^^on the same pc?02:14
EriC^^you need a live session to fix it02:15
UmeaboyGallomimia: Does THIS page help you in any way? https://we.riseup.net/debian/setting-up-raid+crypto+lvm-by-hand-howto02:15
UmeaboyIf so, you're welcome! :)02:16
UmeaboyNow.......your turn.02:16
Umeaboy:)02:16
USER____coraxx What is the best ? I don't want software such as Teamviewer use connection with servers a company . I want program don't need connection with Internet .02:16
USER____ I want display desktop computer 1 on computer 2 , all in same room , I don't but I must use software remote desktop to do something like that ?02:16
GallomimiaUmeaboy: not really, but it's a good page. i may refer to it at some point02:18
GallomimiaUmeaboy: all that stuff is done on my system. (except encrypted swap) it's now broken and needs a repair02:19
UmeaboyOK.02:19
Gallomimiapage doesn't show how to install the bootloader02:19
EriC^^Gallomimia: if you can get a live session or put the hdd on another system you can fix it pretty easily02:19
UmeaboyGallomimia: GRUB? GRUB2? LILO?02:19
GallomimiaEriC^^: i've done that before02:19
Gallomimiagrub2 was what i had02:19
Gallomimiai've had the suggestion of using systemd-boot02:20
EriC^^Gallomimia: you need to chroot and reinstall the kernel and install grub02:20
Umeaboysystemd is quite common today.02:20
Gallomimiayes. that's right EriC^^02:20
Gallomimiait's chroot that i don't understand how to do02:20
EriC^^you need to use GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y in /etc/default/grub02:20
Gallomimiai try diving into the manuals for grub config and initrd and i get lost cause i don't know how to chroot02:20
OerHeks!chroot02:21
Gallomimiawait wait wait02:21
ubottuA chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot02:21
Gallomimialet me right this dow02:21
coraxxUSER____: that it was I like to do as well ... I use primarily nomachine for that purpose as the NX-protocol, which it uses, its very good even if connections are slow.  xrdp is a server software that works with the Microsoft Windows way of handling remote desktops.02:21
EriC^^if you want /boot not to be a separate partition02:21
GallomimiaOerHeks: i've read this page. it doesn't teach me how to actually construct a full chroot02:21
EriC^^chroot you just need to decrypt the partitions, and then mount them at /mnt , as if it were "/" , like if you have a separate /boot partition you'd mount the root filesystem at /mnt and the boot partition at /mnt/boot02:22
EriC^^Gallomimia: then you mount bind the virtual filesystems from the live session to /mnt , like mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev02:22
EriC^^( you need /sys /dev /dev/pts /proc and /run )02:22
EriC^^then you just sudo chroot /mnt , and you'll be in the actual install and you can install grub etc.02:22
EriC^^for the virtual filesystem binding i like this command, for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done02:23
EriC^^it'll do them all one after the other02:23
Gallomimiai got as far as learning what a mount bind is02:25
GallomimiaEriC^^: this is the part that gets confusing to me. i managed to do what you listed once. maybe i forgot a few of the vfs's02:31
=== h00k is now known as Captain_h00k
Gallomimiabut after that the concept of "just install grub" escapes me02:31
Gallomimiaprovided that i have a liveUSB with an install of mdadm and such, it should include the needed modules to boot the system?02:32
EriC^^it won't boot it02:32
EriC^^after you chroot, run apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic02:32
cfhowlettGallomimia, it is quite easy02:33
EriC^^then apt-get install --reinstall < your grub package> and maybe the deps since the system thinks they're already installed and wont install them02:33
admin__hi02:33
EriC^^Gallomimia: are you using uefi or legacy?02:33
Gallomimiaits uefi02:33
Gallomimiatho it seems to have the option to do legacy02:33
EriC^^Gallomimia: i think grub isn't made out of the box to pick up a full disk encryption with /boot encrypted inside "/"02:33
GallomimiaEriC^^: i had this set up once. it worked just fine02:34
EriC^^so you'll need to edit /etc/default/grub after installing grub and it failing02:34
Gallomimiaand the /boot is not encrypted. it's outside the rest of the mess02:34
EriC^^and add the line GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y , the reinstall grub with grub-install02:34
Gallomimiathe raid drives are all partitioned to have little slices at the start for /boot and /boot/EFI02:34
EriC^^oh i thought you deleted /boot and was trying to put it in "/" encrypted02:35
gambl0reis there a command to open the current directory while inside the terminal02:35
Gallomimiano. i deleted boot and was trying to restore it02:35
EriC^^gambl0re: nautilus .02:35
gambl0reit worked, whats nautilus02:35
EriC^^Gallomimia: deleted how?02:35
Gallomimiai had some serious problems where grub and alt-ctrl-F1 tty's wouldn't show up02:35
EriC^^gambl0re: the file manager02:35
gambl0reok thanks02:36
Gallomimiawell i was angry at the time so it was with dd /dev/zero02:36
sebsebsebgambl0re: what's your issue?02:36
sebsebsebgambl0re: oh not so much yours, but02:36
gambl0renothing, nautilus . worked02:36
cfhowlettGallomimia, CWA never ends well02:36
sebsebsebGallomimia: what's your issue?02:36
EriC^^Gallomimia: ok well you'll need to recreate the partition/filesystem then02:36
Gallomimiasebsebseb: i deleted grub and /boot and must reinstall. it's complicated02:36
GallomimiaEriC^^: so i did that. on boot. i think...02:37
EriC^^and do the same stuff, except without adding GRUB_ENABLE... to grub02:37
sebsebsebGallomimia: someone asked about uefi, and I raed something about encrypted something or the other even02:37
EriC^^Gallomimia: also, you'll need to edit /etc/fstab and include the new /boot 's uuid02:37
sebsebsebGallomimia: I would suggest not using in future any of those encryped / or /home or swap or whatever opitions with Ubuntu, unless your compllelt paranoid02:37
sebsebsebGallomimia: becasue it can cause issues when it comes to re installing and things like that02:38

lordshangowhat are some good channels02:40
nicomachuslordshango: #freenode can tell you all about IRC. This channel is Ubuntu support only02:40
sebsebseblordshango: depends but if you put in /list that should list most of them and oh there's a lot, may slow down your connection a bit whilst listenign them even02:40
cfhowlettlordshango, this is ubuntu support.  for chitchat #ubuntu-oftopic02:40
Gallomimiasuggesting to someone not to use crypto is a bit like saying don't lock your house02:41
sebsebsebGallomimia: well yes and no depends02:41
Gallomimiai want to lock my drives. there's no performance hit that i notice02:41
eelstrebori'm a little confused about dnscrypt - do i need to do anything after installing it on a client pc? dig debug.opendns.com txt seems to say that it's working but is that just a test or do i need to set it up to use a dnscrypt service?02:41
sebsebsebGallomimia: it's not about perforance hit etc02:41
lordshango<sebsebseb thanks02:41
cfhowletteelstrebor, might ask in #ubuntu-server02:42
sebsebsebGallomimia: it's about wanting to re intsall Ubuntu, then finding out that your encrypted partion doens't just detect etc02:42
Gallomimiayes the difficulty in dealin with encrypted drives during problems... i'm seeing that02:42
Gallomimiait's a good learning experience02:42
lordshango<nicomachus>ok02:43
TechspectreIf I install Gnome 3.16 in Ubuntu 15.04 via the ppa, but I use LightDM, will I have problems?02:43
cfhowlettTechspectre, 15.04 is soon to go end of life.  why not just install ubuntu-gnome?02:44
ditchlandcfhowlett: when is 16 ltr02:44
eelstreborcfhowlett, but this is for a client02:44
nicomachusApril02:44
cfhowlettditchland, 16.04 = 2016 / April02:45
sebsebsebTechspectre: there isn't that much differnece between the GNOME versions that those two use02:45
ditchlandOkay02:45
sebsebsebTechspectre: noticeable difference to the user02:45
sebsebsebTechspectre: the ppa will probably work, but yeah why not just upgrade to 15.10 ?02:45
Gallomimiaditchland: interesting jokes you make sir02:46
ditchlandTechspectre: I think lightdm affects only login02:46
GallomimiaEriC^^: thanks for that. i think i might just about have this licked. can you remind me what formats the /boot and /boot/EFI should be? i thought ext2 and ext3.02:47
Techspectresebsebseb, if I upgrade to 15.10 via the updater will I have Gnome 3.16 in my repos?02:48
OerHeksTechspectre, no, ppas will be disabled.02:48
EriC^^Gallomimia: /boot should be ext2 , and /boot/efi ( no caps ) should be fat3202:48
sebsebsebTechspectre: no Ubuntu GNOME will not give you latest GNOME02:48
c_nicki launch startup applications and untick an app which i dont want to start when ubuntu starts .. But on the restart it launches and startup app shows the tick (enabled) . How can i make the uncheck effective across restarts02:48
sebsebsebTechspectre: Ubuntu used to be really good at following GNOME and providing the latest stable version of GNOME, but then things went Unity02:48
TechspectreI'm using GNOME 3.14 right now and I just want the new overlay scrollbars02:49
sebsebsebTechspectre: and  that stopped, and GNOME became a community supported thing, hence the ppa for latest GNOME for Ubuntu GNOME02:49
EriC^^c_nick: type find ~/.config ! -user $USER02:50
sebsebsebTechspectre: you should upgrade to 15.1002:50
sebsebsebTechspectre: then if you want a even later GNOME in that install the ppa02:50
jzeollaEriC^^:  Hmm, interesting you mention that right as I join.  I'm having some issues getting my preseed to work - after the build it boots into the UEFI shell02:51
jzeollaI'm trying to make /boot ext4, but I don't make any allowances for an ESP... Should I?02:51
EriC^^yeah you need an efi partition02:52
Techspectresebsebseb, thank you02:53
jzeollaEriC^^: Know of any good write-ups to explain how that works?  I'm reading the wiki now...02:53
EriC^^jzeolla: check out an arch wiki i guess02:54
TechspectreI don't think LightDM is what affects login02:54
Gallomimiajzeolla: been a long time since i looked it up, but i don't think /boot can be ext402:54
EriC^^Gallomimia: it can02:54
jzeollaGallomimia: I saw a couple others do it02:55
TechspectreI can tell you that on my machine with multiple monitors, when I install gnome and select GDM, the monitor placement gets reset on every restart. So I use LightDM02:55

Guest87964how can I fix it?03:52
daftykinsenergy or emergency?03:53
Guest87964energy went out, powered off03:53
daftykinsah ok power cut03:53
daftykinstry an older kernel03:54
Guest87964how can I do that? Do I need a live version?03:55
daftykinsno hold left shift before the logos come up, after power on, then pick an older kernel under 'advanced'03:55
Guest87964is there any other key combination? it just skipped into the splash screen and am again at the blinking message03:58
daftykinsyou could try escape, hitting shift after the system POST screen but before the disk is read from04:00

somsipmatschaffer: not something that I've seen happen on any previous AMIs on Amazon, so I suspect it's not intended to do that05:29
matschaffersomsip: on VPC? On classic you might not notice because the AWS servers will resolve it for you. Odd that it doesn't on VPC05:31
somsipmatschaffer: not noticed it on VPC. What use case do you need to connect to the hostname from the host?05:31
matschafferI'm running into some tools that expect to be able to resolve their own hostname (sudo, proftpd)05:32
ciscsince ubuntu 14.04 Server LTS doesn't have systemd, what is the equivalent command to running `journalctl` so I can see the boot messages?05:32
matschaffersudo still works, just warns. proftpd just refuses to start05:32
daftykinscisc: you mean like reading 'dmesg' ?05:33
somsipmatschaffer: yeah - agree on the sudo warning, but surprised if proftpd hasn't got a config entry to disable that05:33
matschafferoh fair point, I'll see if there is one05:33
ciscdaftykins: yeah but dmesg only shows kernel messages, I want to see something that may be hanging on boot05:34
matschaffercould have sworn I've seen ubuntu use the dhcp data to update /etc/hosts, but maybe that was on a fresh install or something05:34
daftykinsi think hosts is pretty static05:34
=== mint is now known as Guest2568
somsipmatschaffer: there is the script that runs on boot to setup various entries, but can't say I've ever dissected it05:35
matschafferhappen to remember what it was called?05:35
matschaffermaybe I can find an answer in there05:35
somsipmatschaffer: foudn of StackOverflow: In AWS, go to your vpc and turn on "DNS Hostnames".05:35
matschafferyeah, that's on - that seems to control resolution of the external hostname05:36
matschafferthat part works05:36
somsipmatschaffer: ah - ok05:36
matschafferbut the $(hostname) which I'm assuming comes from dhcp won't resolve either way05:36
matschafferactually trying to remember how to get the output of a dhcp response05:36
matschafferjust to verify my assumption there is correct05:36
somsipmatschaffer: resolves here - ECHO $HOSTNAME gives ip-172-30-0-12. Is that what you're missing?05:37
matschafferon vpc try `nslookup ip-172-30-0-12`05:38
somsipmatschaffer: I understand that will fail.05:38
matschafferor `ping $(hostname)` rather. Basically I seem to recal seeing the hostname replicated in /etc/hosts as a default sort of thing. My memory mayb just be wrong here05:40
matschafferecho $HOSTNAME works fine though05:40
matschafferI'll see if there's a way to make proftpd not care. That might be easier05:40
matschaffercause basically nothing else does05:40
matschaffer:)05:41
somsipmatschaffer: never seen it myself, and not on my vpc hosts. Have a look at /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg under "preserve_hostname: false" which looks promising05:41

Can someone help me?07:26
hateballsouplady: What version of Ubuntu are you using, and what chipset is your wifi?07:28
soupladyUbuntu is 14.04. The wifi device is called Realtek RTL8723BE PCIe wirless network adapter07:29
dk_hello07:30
hateballsouplady: Have you upgraded so it is 14.04.03? Run "lsb_release -a" in a terminal to make sure07:30
soupladyhateball: yes, it is 14.04.0307:30
aldoil marchese del grillo07:32
hateballsouplady: I personally solve realtek issues by replacing the card. But I realize this is not a viable option for most. You could try installing a different kernel and see if it works better07:36
hateballsouplady: That is, "sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily" which will give you a more recent kernel to choose from in GRUB. It may or may not work better with your hardware. You can always go back to the 14.04.3 kernel  using the grub menu07:38

Tomiiii forgot it though  :(07:42
Tomiiimkdir test;cd !$07:43
Tomiiibut there is an even faster way07:43
soupladygallomimia: the laptop with the issue doesn't have an ethernet port, i cant wire it to anything. is there no other way to do it or are you telling me im going to have to buy an adapter?07:43
Gallomimiaoh that's unfortunate07:43
hateballsouplady: It's possible to grab the kernel packages you need from another machine, but it's quite a hassle to get all the dependencies on another machine07:43
Gallomimiaso you have a USB stick?07:43
soupladyyes, i have a usb stick07:43
hateballsouplady: especially if that machine is not running linux07:43
Gallomimiaand on it is.... what. LIVE ubuntu?07:43
Tomiiiis there another IRC or website to look up that shortcut?  it's like a splinter in my brain  ;)07:44
soupladyyes, that's how i installed ubuntu07:44
Gallomimiatomiii there's #bash07:44
hateballTomiii: command1 & command207:44
hateballTomiii: that will just fire them off after another07:44
somsipTomiii: you want to create a dir and cd into it with one command? mkdir test && cd test07:44
hateballTomiii: command1 && command2, will run command2 if command1 exits gracefully07:44
Gallomimiahateball only if the first one executes successfully07:44
Tomiiiguys, there is a faster way!    it is something like mkdir+cd test07:45
Gallomimiathat07:45
Tomiiibut it's not a " + " sign07:45
somsipTomiii: faster than spending 5 mins on IRC asking about it... :-/07:45
Gallomimiauh... maybe in curly braces comma separated?07:45
Gallomimia{mkdir,cd} somethin07:46
Gallomimiaits definitely a bash trick. ask those guys07:46
somsipGallomimia: nah - that for mkdir test{1,2,3} to create multiple dirs07:46
Tomiiimabyyyyye somethin like that07:46

yellabs-r2there07:49
soupladyum, so how difficult is it to replace a wireless card? i've upgraded ram before but that's the depth of my experience07:49
Tomiiisouplady: easy, 2 wires07:49
soupladyno sautering irons? also can you recommend me a replacement card?07:49
yellabs-r2can i drop an .sh bash script in motd ( message of the day directory ) and will it be executed ?07:50
Tomiiiyou could try a newer version of ubuntu.  if your gonna do a clean install when 16.04 comes out anyway07:50
Tomiii Qualcomm Atheros, is good if you want to to packetinjection stuff -souplady07:51
mikubuntui'm having a hella time with chrome still, and i can't seem to get any help from the channel at #chrome -- all i want to do is delete and reinstall, but i can't find it as installed in synaptic, and it doesn't show up in software center either -- but i can assure you its installed07:51
mikubunturunning lub 14.0407:52
daftykinssouplady: what brand is the machine?07:52
Tomiiisouplady: i bet 16.04 alpha works, i had the same problem with a wifi card, and 16.04  worked with wifi07:52
mikubuntualso tried deleting it through term, but it said 'chrome not found'07:52
soupladydaftykins: it's an hp stream 1107:52
hateballsouplady: It depends on your laptop, some manufacturers lock down cards in BIOS, so you cannot replace easily07:52
Tomiiihateball: that sucks, i never heard of that07:53
hateballAnd HP are one of those, altho I cannot say for that particular model07:53
soupladyit's a $200 facebook machine for my grandmother.07:53
TomiiiFAcebook Machine  ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ07:53
soupladyi installed ubuntu on her old laptop because she's incapable of using the internet for 5 minutes without catching something07:53
Gallomimiasouplady: wireless cards. to physically change one, it's a little more difficult than ram. not much. open the case, find the card, remove the wires, do as the ram did, put the wires back, close the case07:53
hateballTomiii: We have thousands of HP here at work, I have noticed it quite a few times :)07:53
daftykinssouplady: the tiny little toys? waste of time trying to do anything with that.07:53
soupladybut that one is falling apart07:53
Tomiiihateball: that nonsense justifies a RMS clip:   https://www.rt.com/shows/sophieco/snowden-leak-privacy-surveillance-093/07:54
daftykinsi like the idea of trying xenial though, 16.0407:54
daftykinsTomiii: this is a support channel, take the junk to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks.07:55
daftykinsno chat07:55
Tomiiisouplady: 16.04 liveCD worked for me, but ran out of RAM fast,  if you install it, it might work.  have you tried 15.10?07:55
Gallomimiadid we determine whether souplady's wifi card is going to work with proprietary drivers?07:56
Tomiiioh, wait, you dont want 15.10 for Grandma Facebook Machine (TM)  cuz it expires soon, souplady07:56
daftykinsGallomimia: realtek's own are worse than is on already07:56
soupladytomiii: i have only done 14.04, i didn't even realize there was a newer version07:56
Gallomimiaso.... the best drivers are already installed?07:56
Tomiiisouplady: 14.04 is my favorite for now, cuz its LTS.  16.04 is next LTS, but it's only in Alpha07:57
soupladythe only drivers installed are what comes stock with the operating system07:57
Gallomimiatomiii: can't wait for it to come put now07:57
zippo^Does someone know or Ubuntu has more "magnifier"applications for Ubuntu?07:57
daftykinssouplady: since 16.04 will be out in April it may work better, give it a try in a live session07:57
Gallomimiasouplady: that's actually quite a lot of drivers07:57
soupladygallomimia: what a miracle it doesn't work, then07:58
Gallomimiano. wifi never bloody works :(07:58
Tomiiimikubuntu: chromium-browser is better than chrome07:58
soupladydaftykins: i will give 16.04 a try07:58
Gallomimiai had a lot of grief with my mac laptop trying to run ubuntu07:58
Gallomimiabut i did get wireless drivers downloaded by plugging into the LAN07:58
TomiiiHey does anyone know how to install the newest version of CryptSetup, in 14.04?  i dont find a PPA?07:59
daftykins!newest07:59
ubottuPackages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.07:59
daftykinsif you can't find a PPA, compile08:00
Tomiiii want the new cryptsetup version for this:  https://thelinuxexperiment.com/how-to-migrate-from-truecrypt-to-luks-file-containers/08:00
Tomiiior even better is there a GUI that creates LUKS file-containers?  besides ZuluCrypt?08:01
Tomiiican the newest version of gnome-disk-utility create file-containers?08:02
mikubuntuTomiii: i like chromium fine enough but i'm having a problem with some kind of malware page that has taken over my chrome and gets ahold of a tab and locks it down, not allowing me to do anything at all except killing it. but when i reopen chrome it goes back to the previous open pages, and i'm in a headlock again08:07
daftykinsyou still haven't sorted that?08:07
daftykinswow mikubuntu - i told you the path to check for chrome's profile to nuke it :)08:07
Tomiiiso i'm still trying to learn how to create file-container for LUKS. which is better:08:08
Tomiiifallocate -l 500M MySecrets.img  && dd if=/dev/urandom of=MySecrets.img bs=1M count=50008:08
Tomiiihead -c 500M /dev/urandom > MySecrets.img08:08
Tomiii"head" is in the FAQ for cryptsetup, but "fallocate" is shown on other guides08:09
mikubuntudaftykins: be happy to if you can walk me through it :P08:09
OerHeksmikubuntu, we have, several times now .. if you keep going to that malwarepage, why should we help?08:10
daftykinsmikubuntu: moving/removing  a folder? do you need help with that?08:10
somsipmikubuntu: make an entry in /etc/hosts with the offending IP and point it to localhost. It'll timeout, close it, never open it again08:10
mikubuntuOerHeks: daftykins yes, i'm old and stupid08:10
OerHeks( and first reporting that page is more usefull i guess)08:11
somsips/IP/FQDN08:11
mikubuntui took photographs and displayed them many times over the last few days, i don't know if anybody reported the page i'll post it here again08:12
daftykinsmikubuntu: what's in ~/.config/google-chrome/ ?08:12
mikubuntudaftykins: bash: /home/mikubuntu/.config/google-chrome/: Is a directory08:13
mikubuntuOerHeks: it's not that i'm 'going to' the malware page -- chrome is set to reopen last pages, so every time it launches it opens all the previously open tabs08:14
mikubuntusomsip: never heard of that one before, you say its a permanent solution?08:14
somsipmikubuntu: so make the page inaccessible - as I said before, or even just disconnect from the internet08:15
somsipmikubuntu: it's the same basis that's used by some ad blockers eg: http://hostsfile.mine.nu/08:15
mikubuntusomsip: could it be as simple as disconnecting from net and then change chrome settings?08:16
daftykinsmikubuntu: i know it's a directory, but what's *inside* it? :) "ls -al ~/.config/google-chrome/ | pastebinit08:16
somsipmikubuntu: find out. Disconnect, open chrome, close all tabs nicely, set it to open a nice safe homepage, close it, reopen it offline, see if it only opens the safe page, reconnect08:16
daftykinsno you'd have browser cache too.08:16
somsipdaftykins: good point, but clearable08:17
daftykinsonly if the browser isn't hijacked on run :>08:18
daftykinsjust clean the profile like i said, it's really such a basic task08:18
somsipdaftykins: which would be the bit where i'd agree that nuking the profile is the next step. But if it works, it's a simpler fix maybe08:19
daftykins*nod*08:19
daftykinsmikubuntu: chop chop!08:19
mikubuntudaftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14476458/08:19
mikubuntudo NOT visit the page displayed in this image ---  http://imagebin.ca/v/2TBO3xyGaNbp08:23
OerHeksmikubuntu, use the report function in chrome > help > report an issue + url08:23
daftykinsmikubuntu: so easiest option "mv ~/.config/google-chrome ~/.config/google-chrome.old"08:24
mikubuntudaftykins: ok then what08:25
daftykinsrun chrome again08:25
daftykinsta-da... it's fresh08:25
mikubuntulemme try08:25
mikubuntuOerHeks: thx but i can't find a way to report it, and i posted repeatedly for hours and hours in #chrome and din't get the time of day from anyone. daftykins thx, yes looks like i have a fresh profile, but when chrome synchs is that page going to come right back, i don't know08:31
daftykinsmikubuntu: *shrug* i don't use that feature08:32
OerHekshmm, chrome syncs bookmarks ..08:32
mikubuntucan't find anyplace to block that website in the settings08:38
winsoffHEY08:41
winsoffI think I fixed a common bootchart bug.08:41
daftykinsmikubuntu: there wouldn't be08:41
=== Zesty__ is now known as Zesty_
winsoffIt looks for var/log/bootchart.tgz, which is not generated on my machine.  However, /dev/.bootchart/log can be provided to pyboochartgui and done just fine08:41
winsoffSo why not just change it to search there by default?08:42
C_minusHanging on splash screen. What can I hit to drop to command prompt? Just before splash appeared I saw some text but disappeared too fast.08:42
winsoffOr am I stupid?08:42
Tomiiisouplady: You should buy an Ethernet USB adapter anyway, grandma will appreciate it.08:42
Tomiiisouplady: they are cheap on MonoPrice.com08:42
C_minusRight now stuck on splash screen, anything I can do to diagnose problem?08:44
winsoffNevermind, it does not seem to do just fine.08:44
daftykinsC_minus: try booting with nomodeset ; or give us more details about the system so we don't have to guess08:44
C_minusNo. Just tell me if I can hit a key combination that brings up terminal.08:45
C_minus14.0408:45
winsoffOh, I can just use systemd-analyze. No worries.08:45
wyrieC_minus: daftykins suggestion is a good one. You'll get to see some more output, you might not even be able to access terminal yet - all depending on what is wrong08:47
C_minusDoes there exist a key combination or not?08:47
daftykinsC_minus: "no" ? either do what i say or forget it :)08:47
daftykinsyou have a poor attitude today08:47
rubytorC_minus:what about ctrl + alt + (f1/f2/f3/f4/f5/f6)??08:47
C_minusI've been here to explain this problem hundreds of times to no avail. Besides I'm typing on a phone.08:48
daftykinsin that case i await the link to the summary of what the situation is, in a friendly pastebin08:48
C_minusI'm just recalling that last time someone said try hitting alt + something08:49
Bent0Is there any way to make Ubuntu a little more resilient against power loss? We have a few Raspberries we use for customers which powercycle just fine. But we also have a few Shuttle mini PC's running and when they lose power they need to be fscked everytime.08:49
C_minusSorry don't mean to be unpleasant.08:49
C_minusThanks rubytor that's what I'm asking I'll try08:49
daftykinsthen try removing 'quiet splash' from the boot params08:49
Viking667Is there a separate IRC channel where I can ask audio-related questions?08:50
daftykinsViking667: no08:50
daftykinsunless #ubuntu-studio is active08:50
Viking667hm. my VLC plays sound differently from mplayer, the audio sounds considerably filtered, like a bandpass or notch filter is in place.08:51
daftykinstried resetting your VLC config?08:51
Viking667good point, I don't know how to do that.08:51
Viking667I'll go look that up now.08:52
Viking667I'll also check out what plugins are enabled.08:52
DF3D2cause im beginning to feel like a rap god08:53
hateballViking667: Are you using vanilla ubuntu? It is possible that VLC uses a different audio backend than mplayer. Like going through gstreamer08:54
dafbum in my latest update it listed a chromium plugin; but i don't have chromium-browser installed?08:54
Viking667hateball: good question. I'm using a mixture of Ubuntu studio and vanilla...08:55
Viking667i.e. the main body of programs come from vanilla. I'll check where the gstreamer comes from.08:55
dafbpackage == chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra08:55
C_minusI can't remember how but someone showed me once. How to one-off boot without splash.08:57
Viking667nope, gstreamer plays it fine.08:57
Viking667mplayer plays it fine, so I'm guessing it's just vlc and whatever it calls.08:57
Ben64vlc tends to mess with stuff more08:58
rubytorC_minus: change /etc/default/grub... GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""08:59
rubytorC_minus: and sudo update-grub09:00
C_minusHow can I do that without successfully booting first?09:00
rubytorC_minus: getting the terminal just how I told you!!09:02
LaylI've got about half a TB of data accross 2 drives, what's the best way to backup this in a way that I can restore my old system and access individual files if needed09:02
hateball!backup | Layl09:03
ubottuLayl: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning09:03
Laylhateball: well it's just single-fire currenctly, on a currently non-linux system09:04
Laylthanks for the links though I'm looking through them09:04
Viking667well, resetting the VLC configuration at least fixed things09:04
koloHow can I read this page: http://quantummechanicsdemystified.blogspot.com/2008/08/quantum-mechanics-demystified-erratta.html ?09:05
koloit does not show pdfs?!09:05
Viking667what browser are you using?09:05
WhoppieHi!09:05
koloff, Viking66709:06
Viking667hm.09:06
kolofirefox ff09:07
Viking667yes, I did realise that.09:07
Whoppiedaftykins: if you remember me from yesterday (dell issue), the command "ar x packagename" outputs two tarballs from the package. unpack the one named control will give you the postinst script :)09:07
Viking667Chrome merely sits spinning wheels saying "Typesetting..."09:08
daftykinsWhoppie: ok but that doesn't help me in anyway - since it was your issue :P did you actually find the issue then?09:08
OerHekskolo, just click on the url under the empty field, like "Quantum Mechanics Demystified Errata Ch 2"  and the new page is readable09:08
Laylquickly skimming over these links, it looks like it's mostly for setting up backups on an already linux system09:09
LaylI'm trying to crate a backup of my existing windows install in preparation for switching to linux09:09
Gallomimiatry this procedure to backup an important windows install:09:09
Gallomimiaunplug drive. remove drive. put in mylar bag on shelf until needed.09:10
daftykinsLayl: you should have said that from the beginning. try clonezilla09:10
Viking667OerHeks: thanks for that.09:10
Whoppiedaftykins: not yet, but i ran the postinst script directly from the prompt and that worked. so there is something with the package itself. Was thinking of debugging the scriptfile and was wondering if you have any idea on how to output lines to the console, eg. printf or something like that? brb, gonna fetch some coffee09:10
Layldaftykins: thanks I'll take a look at that09:10
macopythonCan I change user's default shell to my own shell developed in Python ?09:10
llldinomacopython, Yes, you can use "chsh"09:14
macopythonOk llldino09:14
llldinoJust make sure the path to the shell you want is in /etc/shells09:14
macopythonSo if I use chsh then user can't use bash. right ?09:14
Layldaftykins: can individual files in a clonezilla image be accessed?09:15
daftykinssomeone once said no09:15
llldinoProvided that /bin/bash is non executable for them, yes09:15
Viking667macopython: just be aware that creating your own "shell" had better be 'secure' as such, or else you're likely to strike big problems.09:18
daftykinsLayl: so what's the plan, image up your entire OS disk... then you want to wipe it and try out Ubuntu - having a restore path if necessary?09:24
Laylyep, though using my secondary drive for data09:24
LaylI need to transfer a few files just to be sure though09:24
LaylI've got some files that are pretty important for me to keep09:24
daftykinsLayl: so are they of sufficient size that you could just image up the OS disk onto the storage?09:25
LaylI could copypaste all the files manually uncompressed and it would still fit 10 times09:25
daftykinsgiven it's the OS drive, i can't see what you'd need to have access to from Linux...09:25
daftykins(if it were imaged up)09:26
Laylthere's some documents I want to be able to access09:26
Laylas well as misc configurations for different programs09:26
daftykinsi can't think those would be much use on Linux09:26
Laylall different just-in-case stuff that you only realize you needed after you've already wiped your system and have settled in a new one09:27
daftykinsmaybe just a straight-up "dd" of the Windows partition over into an image file on the other, then09:27
Layljust the entire drive to an .iso? that would probably work09:27
Viking667I'm guessing "dd" would be a better fit than rsync.09:27
daftykinsnot an ISO no, an image file09:27
hateballdaftykins, Layl: any reason you're not using clonezilla/partimag ?09:28
hateballas that would be more space efficient than dd09:28
Gallomimiaagreed. dd is one of best solutions09:28
daftykinshateball: someone in here once claimed you can't open clonezilla images to pick and choose files09:28
daftykinsi've never verified that claim09:28
Gallomimiabut i stand by my earlier recommendation to just leave your windows drive be. install the ubuntu onto a different physical drive09:28
daftykinsi'd be willing to bet it's an SSD there's only one of, so there's a cost angle09:29
LaylI don't have a spare SSD no09:29
daftykinsaww yeah \o/ where's my prize?09:29
LaylI do have 2 spare HDDs that used to be my previous RAID setup09:29
Laylthey're proooobably not corrupted09:29
hateballdaftykins: well yes, that's true. you'd need to restore the image into a filesystem (which can be a file on your ext4 partition if you like)09:29
Gallomimiaalmost wish i could mail you one that i have sitting right here09:29
daftykinsLayl: are the pairs individual size greater than that of the SSD?09:29
Laylmuch much much greater size09:30
daftykinsright, it's settled then... clonezilla the SSD to one of those, then go nuts.09:30
Layleeegh I would have to grab a screwdriver and open up the thing09:30
daftykinsi'll fetch the tiny violin09:31
Gallomimiacase that has no tool-less entry?09:31
Gallomimiayou only need one tool in that case: hammer09:31
Viking667daftykins: the really really small one?09:31
Laylit does have tool-less entry but the HDDs are screwed in place09:31
daftykinsViking667: yeah :)09:31
Viking667Layl: hah. So much for tool-less then.09:31
Gallomimiano one said you need to screw the drive in place09:31
daftykinsyou don't fully fit a drive that's going to be in there for a few minutes...09:31
Gallomimiajust hook it up for a few hours and then take it out again09:31
Viking667I've seen cases that screw rails to the hard drives, then fit rails into cradle.09:32
Viking667But that doesn't always seem to be the case.09:32
Gallomimiabut one piece of advice09:32
Laylfair enough, I'll go grab the hammer09:32
Gallomimiadon't let the drive's board touch anything metal.09:32
Gallomimiaanything.09:32
Laylthere's a lot of metal in this case09:32
Gallomimiaright09:32
Gallomimiaso lay it on its back09:32
Gallomimiaor get your damn screwdriver09:32
Viking667better make sure it's the correct screwdriver for the screw head.09:33
Gallomimiatrust me on this one.09:33
Viking667and make sure you pop off enough panels.09:33
daftykinsand back on topic we go09:33
Gallomimiashort circuiting your drive's board sucks. a lot09:33
Viking667yup. I've done that.09:33
Viking667shorted out my power supply.09:33
daftykinsViking667: off topic.09:33
Gallomimiahm. that makes sense now. Viking667 i also lost the drive itself09:34
lotuspsychjeback to ubuntu support guys09:34
mowalleHey. In Ubuntu 15.10, the message indicator does not turn blue for me when I receive new mail. It plays the sound and shows the counter when I click on it, but the icon does not change. Worked fine in 14.04 and 15.0409:34
lotuspsychje##hardware for such issues09:34
lotuspsychjemowalle: there's a nice indicator for gmail gm-notify pretty handy09:36
mowallelotuspsychje: I'm not using gmail though. Hotmail/Outlook via Thunderbird.09:37
lotuspsychjemowalle: file a new bug perhaps? or try it on another user?09:38
Gallomimiaassume you tinkered with the settings for notifications already?09:39
* Viking667 departs09:40
Viking667thanks for the help.09:40
Gallomimiagnight09:40
mowalleGallomimia: yes, I tried enabling and disabling, doesn't change anything. I also use the same settings as in 15.04 and 14.04 and it works there just fine.09:40
Gallomimiaits something odd. as lotuspsychje suggests, create a new user and see if they have the same problem09:41
Gallomimiaif yes, you found a bug. report it09:41
mowallelotuspsychje, Gallomimia: Yep will file this as a bug then, just hoped there was some solution or work around.09:42
daftykinsor it could be the result of upgrades, if applicable09:42
lotuspsychjemowalle: maybe you could also take a look inside dconf-editor, not sure wich value though..09:42
Gallomimiamowalle: i think more investigation is warranted before calling it a bug09:42
Gallomimiaseems more likely to me that it is a result of upgrades09:42
edoderooI can only copy files to my webdav-folder with SUDO ... where does it go wrong?09:42
mowalleOkay I will dig some deeper then.09:43
Gallomimiaedoderoo: maybe you need to find out and change the permissions on your webdav folder?09:43
lotuspsychjemowalle: another option also test another email program? geary perhaps?09:43
Gallomimiaother notifications from different programs?09:43
Gallomimiamaybe growl crashed?? restart could fix...09:43
mowalleAlright I will try your suggestions and then get back to you. Cheers.09:45
Gallomimiagood luck09:45
lotuspsychjei have a customer with 3 trusty boxes up to date, only the desktop recognizes the samsung ML-1665 printer and the 2 laptops doesnt by default, tried installing the latest samsung drivers and restarting cups but no joy, system just doesnt see the printer any clues?09:50
daftykinslotuspsychje: how's it attached?09:51
lotuspsychjedaftykins: oh usb sorry forgot to mention09:51
daftykinsseen ok looking dmesg output when it's plugged in?09:51
lotuspsychjedaftykins: yeah tried a tail at syslog but nothing seems to happen09:52
daftykinshopefully no USB 3.0 ports confusing it09:52
daftykinsah well "dmesg | tail" should show USB connection09:52
lotuspsychjedaftykins: tried all ports on the laptops, but that would make sense09:52
lotuspsychjedaftykins: cups runs by default on laptops the same way it doesn for desktop right?09:53
daftykinsyep shouldn't be any distinction09:53
daftykinsyou could compare the entries on http://localhost:631 for the CUPS interface i guess09:53
lotuspsychjedaftykins: well ive tried the local cups page, and cant even add an usb printer there09:54
lotuspsychjevery weird09:54
daftykinsO_O09:54
lotuspsychjedaftykins: but im not sure ive upgrade from precise to trusty on the desktop anymore, perhaps the clean installed laptops cant recognize anymore?09:55
lotuspsychjedaftykins: apt-cache doesnt show anything usefull for samsung neither09:55
daftykinsso you think maybe the desktop was upgraded to 14.04?09:56
lotuspsychjedaftykins: yes i think so, and the printer worked on precise before im sure09:56
daftykinsi wonder if a user must be in a group to handle cups?09:57
lotuspsychjedaftykins: hmm not sure09:58
aneshelp to remove whitespace in minidom , any body help please09:59
lotuspsychjedaftykins: well ill bring the printer to my home next time, and test both on my trusty netbook and xenial desktop to see..09:59
lotuspsychjedaftykins: its just so weird it doesnt auto recognizes like the trusty desktop09:59
daftykinsyeah, very funky09:59
daftykinscan't say i've dealt with printers mind10:00
lotuspsychjedaftykins: wich package would hold printer drivers, or is it built-in kernel also10:01
daftykinsgenuinely no idea there!10:03
lotuspsychjekk ill test them localy later10:03

WhoppieQuestion: whats the difference between dash and bash (if any)?10:07
geirhaWhoppie: They are both POSIX compliant shells, but have different sets of extensions10:08
geirhadash has very few extensions beyond POSIX, while bash has many10:08
Whoppiehm, then I would go for bash. Thanks!10:09
geirhaIf it's for login shell, then yes, go for bash. The dash shipped with Ubuntu is a stripped down version of dash, without the interactive stuff10:10
Whoppiegeirha: difficult question to answer maybe, but what could break if I rm /bin/sh && ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh ?10:11
geirhaWhoppie: Nothing should break, your system would just get a little slower10:11
Whoppiegeirha: Cool, thanks, I'll test then :)10:11

SirPotatoquick question. Has anyone ever came across a website that acted like a desktop?10:43
testpil0tSirPotato, as in?10:43
yellabs-r2can it "autoscroll'?   the dmesg | less ?10:43
SirPotatohttp://www.ytcracker.com/v2016/10:43

yellabs-r2in a script ?10:45
SirPotatotestpil0t, did you see?10:46
SirPotatoHow would one go about getting set up like that?10:46
testpil0tSirPotato, i saw t he same for amigaOS before10:47
hateballgeirha, yellabs-r2: you could use "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" or whatever file you want to keep reading. Or perhaps it has to be dmesg specifically10:47
yellabs-r2what i am trying to do ( just for fun ) is ( bash ) while dmesg  ; do sleep 1 ; done  ( that shows dmesg , but it does not autoscroll, wich would be fun10:47
yellabs-r2and more human readable10:48
testpil0tyellabs-r2, it cannot autoscroll10:49
yellabs-r2aah too bad, cant we program it ? :)10:49
Whoppieis there a built-in editor that can jump to a certain line? nano? pico?10:50
SirPotatotestpil0t, No like how would one go about getting a website like that?10:50
geirhayellabs-r2: just tail kern.log like hateball suggested10:50
hateballWhoppie: nano +10 file.txt10:50
SirPotatotestpil0t, as in like . Having a website created that mimics the usage of like a desktop?10:50
testpil0tWhoppie, all editors should be able to do that10:50
hateballWhoppie: jumps to line 1010:50
geirhatail -F /var/log/kern.log10:50
testpil0tyellabs-r2, you can try to use "watch"10:50
testpil0tcurrent dmesg also has a "follow" option10:51
testpil0twhich looks like tail -f10:51
testpil0tyellabs-r2, or you clear dmesg10:51
k1l_SirPotato: better ask in a website scripting/making orientated channel10:51
testpil0twhile true; do dmesg -c; sleep 1; done10:51

RMJhello all - having a problem: my notebook running 15.10 now doesn't boot - I get a message "fsck from util-linux 2.26.2 /dev/sda9: clean....." - it booted fine to ubuntu a few hours ago. The change I have made has been switching display manager from lightDM to GDM when trying to install gnome 3, but it has also updated. I get the same when I try to14:12
RMJ boot from a slightly older kernel as well.  Any advice? Thank you.14:12

monhi. i am trying to upload files into my vps using sftp (/var/www/html) but failed. my username has been granted sudo. i saw the group for /var/www/html is only for root (owner). How can I fix this?17:08
edsnowden@daftykins that's a good idea. I'll give that a shot. If that fails is there a way to hide disks from the OS?17:08
daftykinsit won't fail.17:08
daftykinsmon: nothing to 'fix' however it can be resolved. chown the document root as www-data:www-data then add your user to the group www-data .17:09
daftykinsyou'll also then need to g+w that path17:09
edsnowdenOk thanks17:09
edsnowdenI'll give it a shot tonight when I'm in front of the machine again17:10

volcom1Hi - I have created Ubuntu server.. Is there an up to date Guide for setting up Torrent Client & FTP client ?17:16
daftykinsdon't use FTP in 2016.17:17

ubottuSSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for its homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon)17:17
daftykinsvolcom1: ^17:17
volcom1yeah but like --- is there a guide17:17

TmpLineWho can I ask for information on a package? (default-java in this case)17:25
baizon!info default-java17:25
ubottuPackage default-java does not exist in wily17:25
nicomachusTmpLine: you can search for it here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/17:25
PiciTmpLine: Where id you get that package name?17:25
TmpLineI need more information, regarding the version of openjdk it depends on.17:26
baizonTmpLine: there is no package default-java17:26
TmpLinesorry, default-jdk or default-jre17:26
baizon!info default-jdk17:27
ubottudefault-jdk (source: java-common (0.52)): Standard Java or Java compatible Development Kit. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.7-52 (wily), package size 0 kB, installed size 21 kB17:27

TmpLineif possible I'd like to know when/if that will pass to openjdk-817:27
baizonTmpLine: http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/default-jdk17:27
baizonTmpLine: openjdk-7-jdk (>= 7~u3-2.1.1)17:27
baizonTmpLine: so everything above 7u3 will work17:28
ActionParsnipnicomachus: no, just exclaiming :)17:28
TmpLineis there a timeline for openjdk-8? or does that depend on what is available on the latest LTS? or debian sid perhaps?17:29
ActionParsnipTmpLine: there is a PPA for Oracle Java if you desire17:29
TmpLineI have openjdk-8 installed on my system. but I'm trying to figure out if software line umake should install the latest for each distro or rely on default-jdk17:30
baizonTmpLine: there is no timeline, just what in debian17:31
TmpLineok, so since debian stretch and sid still have 1.7 as default I suppose that would be the same in ubuntu 16.04, right? (unless it changes in debian first)17:32
baizonTmpLine: yes17:32
TmpLinebaizon: thank you very much17:33

ub_ubuntuwant to install a new kernel. If i do what happens to the existing kernels..?18:03
nicomachusub_ubuntu: what kernel are you trying to install?18:03
HackerIIthey turn into pumpkins18:04
ub_ubuntu4.1.16 LTS18:04
PeNTaGRaM.ping18:04
nicomachusub_ubuntu: why? and what version of ubuntu are you on?18:04
ub_ubuntu15.1018:04
nicomachus15.10 is already on 4.2. why do you want an older kernel?18:04
ub_ubuntuit won't shutdown properly18:05
Glorfindel I'm running ubuntu server 15.04 with lubuntu-desktop installed, and despite having the option off, it sleeps every time I close the lid. to make matters worse, if I have the session locked it wakes to a "openbox" login screen that has no usernames listed, and accepts no passwords, the only option at this point is to switch to a tty and reboot18:05
Glorfindelis there any way to fix this?18:05
nicomachusub_ubuntu: ok, well let's deal with that issue instead of trying to install an older kernel... that's not a solution. what do you mean it won't shutdown properly18:05
nicomachusGlorfindel: first thing I would suggest is upgrading to 15.10, because 15.04 is going to be EOL in a few days.18:06
ub_ubuntuafter i click shutdown or use command line , it shows the ubuntu greeter and hangs after three dots...18:06
lotuspsychjeGlorfindel: not really recommended to install non-lts on a server either18:06

lotuspsychjeGlorfindel: better clean install instead18:08

nicomachusub_ubuntu: when shutting down, when you get that splash screen hit "Esc" to see what it's hanging on.18:09
ub_ubuntuokay...18:09
lotuspsychjeGlorfindel: but you can save your /home on a next ubuntu install if you like?18:10

Glorfindellotuspsychje: I am not hosting anything right now18:11
nicomachusub_ubuntu: ok, but there is absolutely no reason for you to want to install the 4.1 kernel. Figure out what the shutdown is hanging on, and then we can fix it.18:11

When I insert the same disc onto my windows PC I can read and install the program. I have been able to read data from the disc, so I think it's software related. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm on a laptop18:46

JBFI my feeling is LVM sucks19:26

JBFdoesn't feel very cool to me all I wanted to do was extended my system disk19:28
zykotick9bekks: "a poor workman blames his tools"19:28

JBFyeah bekks I missed the expand partition step19:29
bekksJBF: Yeah, so you need to do that.19:29
JBFI tried to do that after expanding the PV/VG19:29
JBFbekks it won't let me19:29
bekksJBF: you cannot expand the PV/VG prior expanding the partition.19:29
JBFbekks somehow I did19:29
bekksJBF: And the error message is "I wont let you."?19:29
bekksJBF: Somehoe thats impossible, technically.19:29

JBFbekks: somehow it did let me expand the PV and VG19:31
IceNineeric^^, i see now, the built in terminal is shift+ctrl+c/v19:31
bekksJBF: then you did not use a partition at all. :)19:31

zykotick9chochesse_: "Is /dev/pts mounted?" <- seems something is wrong with your chroot/debootstrap perhaps?19:39
chochesse_http://pastebin.com/ExL6Y53x19:39
chochesse_check out that output19:39
bekksJBF: So what do you want to do with sdb now?19:40
JBFwell19:40
JBFif I can get my lvm root volume expanded to fill the disk great19:40
JBFbut even if I can just get my data off the disk that would be something19:41
bekksJBF: And where is your root volume?19:41
JBFsdb lvm vg19:41
JBFsdb5 is/was the lvm partition19:42
bekksJBF: Pastebin sudo pvdisplay -C; sudo vgdisplay -C; and sudo lvdisplay -C; please.19:42
chochesse_so no ideas?19:42
BobLobLawBlogI am getting this error when I start apache Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP.19:42
bekksJBF: according to your pastebin, sdb5 still is a LVM partition.19:42
JBFyes I deleted sdb5 and sdb2, created a new sdb2 and sdb5 and set the type back to 8e19:42
bekksJBF: With the same start/end sectors?19:43
JBFbut it wouldn't let me create sdb2/5 starting on the same sectors as before so I presume the partition table is now out of line19:43
JBFno it wouldn't let me19:43
chochesse_it's worth mentioning that I am trying to install this package inside of a chroot jail that i have debootstrapped with ubuntu19:43
bekksJBF: Was the message "I wont let you."?19:43
JBFjust complained value out of range19:43
BobLobLawBlogit's pretty sad I can't even figure out how to install php correctly19:43
bekksJBF: What was the exact message?19:44
bekks!lamp | BobLobLawBlog19:44
ubottuBobLobLawBlog: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process.19:44
JBFin fdisk, when I tried to recreate the partitions and entered the start sector I got 'value out of range'19:44
bekksJBF: So what did you enter there?19:44
JBFI let it use the first available sector19:45
bekksJBF: What did you enter, causing the "value out of range" error?19:45
JBForiginally sdb2 started at 50175819:45
zykotick9chochesse_: "Is /dev/pts mounted?" <- seems something is wrong with your chroot/debootstrap perhaps?  <ROUND 2>19:45
JBFso I entered that19:45
chochesse_zykotick9: yes19:45
bekksJBF: Which was expected to fail, since it would have overlapped with sdb1.19:46
JBFno sdb1 ends at 49971119:46
BobLobLawBlogyea I followed the documenation, I started getting the error after I enabled PHP  sudo a2enmod php519:46
bekksJBF: Look where sdb2 begins now.19:47
JBFoh hell it's the same19:48
JBFsorry, sdb519:48
JBFit did begin at 50176019:48
BobLobLawBlogbekks then even worse I try to install php-fpm cuz im told its an issue with mod php and this makes it worse19:48
bekksJBF: so there wasnt sdb2 at all, before?19:48
Encapsulationfor she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses19:48
JBFyes there was and it started in teh same sector19:48
bekksBobLobLawBlog: why are you trying to use a threaded webserver when using php at all? :)19:49
bekksJBF: your statements are contradicting.19:49
JBFit's sdb5 which I couldn't recreate starting on the same sector as before19:49
bekksJBF: was there a sdb2 before? If so, which start/end sectors did it have?19:50
chochesse_oh that's sketchy, I fixed it by removing start19:50
JBFyes I'm sorry I was referring to sdb2 I should have said sdb519:50
bekksJBF: was there a sdb2 before? If so, which start/end sectors did it have?19:50
JBFsdb2 was originally Starting 50178 ending 83884031, sdb5 was starting at 501760 ending 8388403119:51
bekksJBF: your numbers must be wrong, 50178 cant be correct.19:51
bekksJBF: And answer my question again.19:52
JBFsdb2 was originally Starting 501758 ending 83884031, sdb5 was starting at 501760 ending 8388403119:52
ninguI have a server running Ubuntu server LTS. I have it set to automatically install security updates, and sometimes it will show a notice saying "system reboot required". are there general guidelines for when it makes sense to actually reboot the server?19:52
JBFtrying to recreate sdb5 with the same start sector as before it gave the out of range error19:52
bekksJBF: you repeated that fact for the third time. Telling it all over will not help at all.19:52
JBFbekks I corrected the typo you had pointed out19:53
bekksJBF: No. You repeated yourself for the third time that you got a value ot of range error.19:53
bekksJBF: Delete sdb5, and recreate it.19:54
ninguI always thought it was generally necessary to reboot a server only when absolutely necessary. but I don't know what the downsides might be of not doing so when Ubuntu says it should be done.19:54
bekksningu: Not being able to use a new kernel.19:54
ningubekks: ok, but why would that make a difference, practically speaking? security fixes?19:55
bekksningu: Yes.19:55
JBFbekks it won't allow the first sector to start before 50380619:55
ninguok19:55
bekksJBF: IS the message "I dont allow it."? If not, pastebin the full, exact, unchanged output.19:55
akikJBF: try "fdisk -c=dos /dev/sdb" if that lets you re-create the original layout19:55

loveheartjoyloveI need to make Google chrome launch a script when laughed that changes my WiFi network, and that changes it back when closing it. also need help with the script itself :)20:22
kyle__czwolf: gdb is the gnu debugger  It has nothing to do with mono.  Mono is a free(libre) runtime environment for microsoft's .NET platform, not a server.  Whatever is crashing it's written IN mono, and crashing is causing it to attempt debugging it sounds like.  But you need to find out what the program/service is, and get help with it, not general ubuntu.20:23

kyle__loveheartjoylove: You've obviously never worked the support desk then ;)  But thanks.20:24
czwolfkyle__ Thank you. I know the purpose of the programms I am running. The program is a server under mono. So yes, it is an executable. I have 3 or 4 running instances of that server. Some crash some not during the GDB failure. I see not reason why the problem should be in a server or how to find how the server causes it.20:26

GreencloudHi guys, just need a little help with my wireless adapter. For some reason it's not picking up my  signal properly. Sometimes it would connect right away but most of the time it just wont. Thank you22:23
Jordan_Uryanvisual: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/issues/28 details that the problem (for some users at least) appears to be with the linux driver expecting the antenna to be connected differently than some vendors are connecting it.22:23
Greencloudi have tried reinstalling the network-manager and have restarted the service several times, but  still the same problem22:23
ryanvisualYou have to change the hardware antenna22:24

voozeHi, If my sound in my headset is not as good as under Windows, could it be a good thing to update (if possible) to newer pulseaudio ? I'm running 14.0422:29
HackerIIvooze:  not loud enough ?22:30
ryanvisualAnyelse have any solutions for me?22:30
voozeHackerII: that and it sounds better in Windows22:30
HackerIIic22:31
HackerIIvooze:  just for giggles install QasMixer from synaptic22:31
Jordan_Uvooze: It's more likely that an alsa update would improve your sound than a pulseaudio update (pulseaudio runs on top of alsa, it doesn't replace it). But even before that there are other things I would try first. What is the exact model of your headset? How is it connected (USB, bluetooth, analog headphone out)?22:32
voozeJordan_U: its a Corsair H2100 connected with a wireless USB dongle.22:32
voozeWondering if its worth it updating to 15.10 insted of 14.04, or I should just wait for 16.0422:33
k1lvooze: what does "lsb_release -d" give you?22:34
Jordan_Uvooze: If you're only updating in hopes that your audio will be better, then I would simply try a 15.10 LiveCD/USB first and see if the audio is in fact better there.22:34
voozek1l: 14.04.322:34
k1lif you want to update to 15.10 then you will have to update to 14.10 (which is eol already) then to 15.04 then to 15.1022:35
voozek1l: hmm yeah, will probably give some problems.22:35

Jordan_Ulinuxlove: There are two possible ways to resolve this problem, 1: I would argue that your Wireless access point is configured incorrectly. You should take it out of "bridged" mode and instead have it completely handle the ppp connection itself, then providing a NAT'd LAN. 2: We can try to setup pppoe (over wifi...) and it will likely work the same way it did in Fedora. Again, I strongly recommend resolut23:03

knobHello guys.  Some samba share help please.   I have a samba share that has no username/password.  I can't mount it on my system via command line.23:31

GudduWhat is the best way to ext3 format a SSD Drive in Ubuntu?23:33
Jordan_Uknob: Have you tried using gvfs-mount?23:34
mcphailGuddu: how would you define "best", as we can't possibly know your preferences?23:34
knobJordan_U, not at all... googling that now.   Thank you23:34
Guddumcphail, I was told that SSDs need to be properly aligned etc for optimum performance. Not sure if that applies only to windows.23:35
Jordan_UGuddu: "Best" is subjective. GParted is easy to use, and will automatically result in sane defaults. Why do you want to use ext3 rather than ext4? Do you plan to be using a *lot* of small files?23:35
GudduJordan_U, I am not sure if Cinema projectors can read ext4. Is there a advantage of ext4 over ext3?23:35
Jordan_UGuddu: GParted automatically aligns partitions on MiB boundaries, which will result in optimal alignment for your drive.23:36
GudduThis Disk will be connected to cinema projectors to ingest a movie.23:36
k1lGuddu: use gparted. and dont use ext3, use ext4 for ssds23:36
GudduThanks Jordan_U I will try gparted first. ALso i need to set inode 12823:36
mcphailGuddu: honestly, just go with defaults. You're not going to notice any difference whatsoever. Life is too short to worry about block sizes23:36
Gudduk1l, Will cinema projector system be able to read ext4?23:36
k1lgparted alignes already23:37
GudduI know for sure that it reads ext2 and ext323:37
k1lGuddu: i would not use anything below ext4 on a ssd23:37
GudduOk. Thanks k1123:37
Jordan_UGuddu: Why do you need a 128 byte inode size?23:37
k1lyou need trim support.23:37
Jordan_Uk1l: Well, if their cinema projector can't read ext4 then using ext3 is better than throwing the drive away and switching to spinning rust.23:38
Gudduk11 Jordan_U looks like i cannot use ext4. . . look at this spec http://isdcf.com/papers/ISDCF-Doc3-Disk-Drive-Recommendations-20140226v1.pdf23:38
k1lif ext4 really will not work (i would test it, since support is in the kernel since a long time) i would go for ext223:39
GudduJordan_U, It only says "the inode size shall be set to 128 bytes." Does not say why.23:40
GudduI will take 2 disks. One with ext4 and one with ext2 format.23:40
GudduQuestion though. When i connect to a ubuntu system how do i get the exact device name? like /dev/sdX . . . How do i get the exact value of X that corresponds to my device?23:41
mcphailGuddu: interesting paper. Best go for ext3 with the requested inode size, then, if that is the spec23:42
k1lGuddu: see "dmesg" or better "sudo parted -l" or "gparted"(this is a gui program)23:42
knobJordan_U, I installed gvfs-mount... yet... throwing an error.  Error mounting location: volume doesn't implement mount23:42
GudduThanks mcphail . . .23:42
k1lext3 without proper ssd support and trim will just wear out the ssd.23:42
knobI am ... at odds of how Nautilus is able to browse the samba share, yet if I am going to mount it with mount.cifs, I have to provide a username/password23:43
Jordan_Uk1l: Using ext3 doesn't preclude you from using TRIM.23:43
knobI mean, it's *right there*...  I can't mount it.23:43
GudduDoes gparted allow me to set inode size?23:43
mcphailk1l:doesn't look like there is an option to use ext4, according to tthat spec23:44
UbuntuUserI have a boat load of udp 185 traffic on my machine going to 225.0.0.222 .. it is  a fresh ubuntu 15.10 install.23:44

UbuntuUser192.168.0.17 -> 225.0.0.222  UDP 185 Source port: 58601  Destination port: 5499723:45
k1lmcphail: that is why i suggest ext2. no journaling23:45
mcphailGuddu: reading the mkfs.ext3 man page, it looks as if Inode size of 256 is default, so you'd need to select 12823:46
Guddumcphail, Does gparted allow changing it? Or will it use 256 by default and then i later need to use commmand line to make the change?23:47
K1rkUbuntuUser, I don't think that is a routable IP? lol23:47

GudduI am so sorry for the line break. Won't happen again.23:50

^KingI have a problem installing a new package on my updated OS.23:51
K1rkGuddu, should be something like: mkfs.ext3 -I 128 /dev/sd#23:51
GudduThanks K1rk  mcphail23:51
K1rkGuddu, mcphail is right making the partition in gparted may be easier for you than doing it in, say, fsck.23:52
K1rkIt's ok if gparted formats it, you will format it again when you run the mkfs command.23:52
GudduThanks.23:52
K1rkJust make sure you choose your /dev/sdX# correctly so you don't wipe the wrong drive :)23:52
