[00:00] <boxmein> can I tell chrome to not use numix icons or something
[00:01] <boxmein> because I really like chrome's default back/forward/refresh icons and don't really like the colorful and un-detailed circle thing
[00:01] <K1rk> Guddu, tune2fs -l /dev/sdX#
[00:03] <triac> settings and default theme?
[00:05] <K1rk> Guddu, find it?
[00:05] <Guddu> K1rk, Thanks. Yes I did. Now I think I am good to give it a shot. Will try to prepare one DCP now.
[00:09] <acovrig> what is the best way to setup redundant storage? I'm thinking of mdadm as raid5, but can only use 1 drive at the moment.
[00:10] <skinnymg1> hello everyone, I'm having problems getting audio in flashplayer. Is there any way I can get a text output of what is happening?
[00:12] <ritztech> does this look right
[00:12] <ritztech> wget --debug --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookie.txt --post-data "action=login&login_password=xxx&login_username=xxx" $CACTIURL
[00:13] <llldino> skinnymg1, Check /var/log/user.log maybe?
[00:14] <skinnymg1> llldino: thanks I'll give it look
[00:14] <llldino> llldino, Ah, maybe check /var/log/messages too
[00:16] <mcphail> acovrig: you seriously want to use redundant storage on a single drive??? If that is honestly what you want to do, you can set up RAID by partition rather than by drives. Seems like a bad idea to me, though
[00:16] <skinnymg1> llldino: no such file or directory for either of those
[00:17] <llldino> Sorry I run debian, i;m not sure where ubuntu dumps log files
[00:17] <llldino> Try 'sudo find /var -name user.log' maybe?
[00:18] <daftykins> /var/log ...
[00:18] <acovrig> mcphail, no, I have a drive I can devote now, and in the next few days move 2 drives into the array
[00:19] <skinnymg1> llldino: I found it. Thanks. It's Mixx switching up my Pulse config
[00:20] <llldino> No problem!
[00:20] <mcphail> acovrig: aah. I've been using btrfs, which (for me) has been the easiest way to deal with this. Can add extra drives/partitions at will. Although someone on here mentioned there is a bug in btrfs rebalancing on the current Wily kernel, so maybe not a great idea right now
[00:21] <bluefive> Can I use Ubuntu Server for my Desktop?
[00:21] <bluefive> What's missing?
[00:21] <bluefive> On a piece of hardware I'm told:
[00:21] <iamnotageorge> How do I set a static IP?
[00:21] <llldino> A GUI
[00:21] <bluefive> "Desktop 15.10 wouldn't boot or install from USB (hangs), but server 14.x works fine."
[00:21] <bekks> bluefive: the graphical desktop environment - which can be install with a single command.
[00:22] <acovrig> mcphail, yea, I have 3x drives, 1 was pairity and the other 2 are xfs; these came from unRAID and I'm switching to ubuntu
[00:22] <bekks> bluefive: 15.10 boots fine from USB.
[00:22] <bluefive> So I install server then I install the GUI?
[00:22] <bluefive> bekks, Here's the hardware:
[00:22] <bluefive> bekks, http://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-Mini-Barebones-System-ZBOX-CA320NANO-U/product-reviews/B00KVM1F4C/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=recent
[00:22] <bekks> bluefive: Why dont you install the desktop version?
[00:22] <bluefive> See the review "Works great for my purposes"
[00:22] <bluefive> and read the comment to it.
[00:23] <llldino> iamnotageorge, A static external IP or one for your LAN?
[00:23] <iamnotageorge> llldino: lan
[00:23] <mcphail> acovrig: you need to keep xfs?
[00:23] <acovrig> mcphail, no, but I need to keep the data, so I was going to use 1 drive and move the data over 1 drive at at time.
[00:23] <skinnymg1> bluefive: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[00:23] <acovrig> *at a
[00:24] <llldino> iamnotageorge, Do you have a router, or is your system the router?
[00:24] <bluefive> skinnymg1, So once I have server and I do that, I have the Desktop version essentially?
[00:24] <skinnymg1> bluefive: pretty much
[00:24] <acovrig> mcphail, currenlty I put LVM on the <was parity> disk and can migrate data to the new LVM, however don't know how I would do parity from that
[00:25] <acovrig> unRAID uses separate xfs partitioned drives and somehow creates a parity drive (I don't think it technically uses a RAID)
[00:26] <genii> abacus
[00:27] <bluefive> skinnymg1, Why might the install of Ubuntu 15.10 hang?
[00:27] <mcphail> acovrig: well, if btrfs is stable enough for you (and RAID5 on btrfs is _almost_ stable) it makes this kind of thing easy. You could migrate from flat format to RAID1 to RAID5 in easy increments, without the complexity of LVM etc. I'm afraid it is so long since I had to mess about with LVM or mdraid I forget how to do this otherwise
[00:27] <skinnymg1> bluefive: you can use kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop if you would rather have one of those
[00:28] <bluefive> skinnymg1, I would need a light desktop for this piece of hardware.
[00:28] <bluefive> Xubuntu, Lubuntu, or MATE.
[00:28] <mcphail> acovrig: but I'm probably just pushing my favoured way on to you
[00:29] <Bashing-om> bluefive: Light to me is xfce4 . To make that happen on a server install ' sudo apt install xorg ; sudo apt install xfce4 ' .
[00:29] <bluefive> Bashing-om, Isn't Xubuntu the same?
[00:30] <acovrig> mcphail, I think I understand LVM enough, but it doesn't have parity options (that I know of); I would mostly use the drives for media storage w/a small handful of VMs running on it that I would prefer to be highly available...
[00:30] <Bashing-om> bluefive: You did day light .. my above does not have all the extrtas that a Xubuntu install would include .
[00:30] <Bashing-om> day/say*
[00:30] <lerner> hi, I have created a new account. I want it to be my default one and get rid of the old one. I want the new one to have all privileges the old one had, I want also my home directory changed to the new user, I want its id to be 1000 and I want the icon of the old user to be the one of the new one. How do I do it?
[00:30] <skinnymg1> bluefive: could be driver problems, it uses a newer kernel and might not have them installed anymore
[00:30] <acovrig> I liked how unRAID made it easy to have a redundant array, but it would seemingly boot completely, wait 6min, then *finally* start booting the VMs...
[00:31] <bluefive> skinnymg1, In that case I can probably go right to installing the LTS desktop.
[00:32] <skinnymg1> bluefive: LTS is the way to anyway. The other releases are to get the kinks worked out for them.
[00:32] <bluefive> Bashing-om, Is 'apt' the same as 'apt-get' in the command line?
[00:33] <Bashing-om> bluefive: Yes and no .. apt is the replacement for apt-get . has a few enhancements .
[00:34] <mentalisto27> hello
[00:35] <mcphail> acovrig: to be honest, I've come to the conclusion that RAID is more hassle than it is worth with the multi-terabyte drives I have in my desktop these days. I've abandoned it for bcache and rotational backups. Rebuilding an array is just a pain
[00:36] <daftykins> maybe if you use Linux software RAID ;)
[00:36] <daftykins> with a proper hardware controller, it's pretty much a walk in the park in 99% of cases
[00:40] <acovrig> mcphail, yea, that's what I'm thinking (hence me being hesitant to jump on a RAID); I do have this data in an offsite location that I very loosely sync with; I would like to do a parity, ideally fs independent and non RAID; but I guess I could be asking too much...
[00:41] <mcphail> acovrig: maybe. I'd be interested in your eventual soultion, so please ping me and let me know what you end up doing
[00:42] <acovrig> mcphail, I believe it's possible (unRAID somehow does it), just not sure how...
[00:42] <sethj> How does one upgrade from LTS to LTS before the HWE is released? i.e. when the upgrade manager doesn't see the upgrade?
[00:42] <daftykins> if you're talking 14.04 -> 16.04 then it's not out yet
[00:43] <sethj> daftykins, I'm talking theoretically.
[00:43] <EriC^^> sethj: you mean you want the development pre-release?
[00:43] <sethj> when 16.04 is released it won't show in the upgrade manager (if you're on the LTS channel) until 16.04.1, but if I want to upgrade anyway?
[00:43] <daftykins> LTS to LTS upgrade becomes available once the target release hits .1
[00:44] <sethj> daftykins, yes I know, but if I want to upgrade before that?
[00:44] <meercat> i know a guy who can get you a dvd
[00:44] <EriC^^> really? i thought one could upgrade as soon as it was released
[00:44] <daftykins> hmm, probably involves do-release-upgrade and some extra
[00:44] <daftykins> i think that's a bad idea though
[00:45] <sethj> EriC^^ well you *can*, but I've forgotten how
[00:45] <EriC^^> yeah, i thought it was official though
[00:45] <sethj> daftykins yes I'm sure it involves do-release-upgrade.. but it has to be either the -d or -p flags and neither look quite right.
[00:45] <EriC^^> since everybody flocks in after new releases come in, i guess that's just for lts to lts then?
[00:45] <sethj> EriC^^, that is correct.
[00:46] <daftykins> no, -d is development release - and is the wrong approach
[00:46] <sethj> I wonder if it's just `do-release-upgrade` and it figures it out..
[00:47] <maxtimbo> Hello, I just bought a Logitech G300s gaming mouse and 4 of the buttons don't seem to be doing anything. I tried using xev to see if I was getting anything and I got KeyPress and KeyRelease rather than ButtonPress on only two of the four broken buttons. Should I pursue this or just return the mouse?
[00:47] <sethj> > If you choose to upgrade before then, you can pass the -d option to the upgrade tool, running do-release-upgrade -d or update-manager -d, to upgrade from vanilla 12.04 to 14.04. (-d stand for devel)
[00:48] <OS-18137> how can i determine what package a given binary was installed by?
[00:48] <Chaser> OS-18137: dpkg -S <path to binar>
[00:48] <sethj> That's from a Jorge Castro answer on AU, so it's probably correct.
[00:48] <OS-18137> Chaser: thank you very much
[00:49] <llldino> sethj, I believe until the .1 gets pushed, it's considered a "dev-build", I mean you can always just try do-release-upgrade before the .1 abnd see what happens
[00:49] <llldino> sethj, I would honestly wait until the .1 comes out though unless you're a developer
[00:49] <sethj> llldino, that seems to be the case (see quote above --^). Thanks!
[00:50] <sethj> I don't personally run LTS, I was asking for someone new to Ubuntu :)
[00:50] <EriC^^> that's worse
[00:50] <daftykins> ugh proxy questions
[00:51] <mcphail> acovrig: just reading about how unraid does things. Interesting approach, decoupling parity from RAID, but I can't see that it protects you from the risks of 2nd drive failure during a rebuild (which becomes more likely than not with multiple very large drives)
[00:52] <EriC^^> sethj: i guess it would be a bad idea for them to run -d if they're new to ubuntu in case it breaks, really bad impression with linux i guess
[00:52] <insidious> Does anyone know how i can get the latest gui for werwolf?
[00:52] <sethj> daftykins, not as much as you think. I was answering their question y and this was part of my answer that I didn't quite remember 100% :)
[00:52] <mcphail> acovrig: don't know if there is a way to do this on Ubuntu
[00:52] <acovrig> mcphail, yea, I just don't like the idea of loosing everything if a single drive dies...
[00:52] <insidious> i want the Fedora , debian type of look with gnome. for ubuntu
[00:52] <insidious> not the style with the tool bar on the left side.
[00:52] <sethj> EriC^^, I'd tend to agree!
[00:52] <daftykins> sethj: as much as what? that makes no sense.
[00:53] <daftykins> upgrades in general are a bad idea imo :P
[00:53] <insidious> Anyone know how i can do this?
[00:53] <aerth> insidious, yeah
[00:53] <aerth> you want KDE?
[00:54] <insidious> no
[00:54] <aerth> xfce?
[00:54] <insidious> i want the look like Fedora and Debians  gnome
[00:54] <aerth> oh "gnome classic" ?
[00:54] <insidious> were it has activites
[00:54] <mcphail> acovrig: http://www.snapraid.it/ ?
[00:54] <insidious> at the top right
[00:54] <insidious> left
[00:54] <sethj> daftykins, it wasn't a direct proxy question. They asked me in general about LTS upgrades, I was trying to give a complete answer, I just couldn't remember this part. And yes, upgrades are definitely a bad idea in general xD That's true on so many levels..
[00:54] <aerth> do you see any options at your login page?
[00:54] <insidious> let me look
[00:55] <daftykins> lol direct proxy.
[00:55] <daftykins> insidious: so you want ubuntu gnome edition huh
[00:55] <sethj> Fedora and Debian use Gnome Shell (aka "gnome 3") by default.. Do you mean that or the older gnome 2?
[00:55] <eelstrebor> when using dnscrypt should i set the dns to 127.0.0.2 or 127.0.2.1 (which is what is in /etc/init.d/dnscrypt-proxy)?
[00:55] <insidious> the one new one.
[00:56] <insidious> i have no options on login screen.

[00:57] <Bashing-om> insidious: See: http://ubuntugnome.org/download/ .
[00:57] <insidious> That is a example picture
[00:57] <acovrig> mcphail, ooh, that looks nice, I just may use it...
[00:58] <acovrig> mcphail, I like the /compare page: I didn't know unRAID ignores errors silently; now I'm feeling better about switching to ubuntu
[00:58] <insidious> You guys see the picture?
[00:58] <mcphail> acovrig: ha!
[00:58] <acovrig> mcphail, it's just annoying that I was using ubuntu, switched to unRAID (because their GUI makes it easy/possible to do a PCI passthrough), and now I'm switching back to ubuntu...
[01:02] <sebsebseb> hi
[01:02] <piboschi> hallo
[01:02] <acovrig> OK, so jumping topics completely, has anyone gotten a gfx-card PCI passthrough to work in virt-manager?
[01:02] <sebsebseb> piboschi: hi
[01:03] <piboschi> How's sebsebseb?
[01:03] <sebsebseb> ok you?
[01:03] <piboschi> Tired, but hanging on.
[01:03] <sebsebseb> heh ok
[01:04] <piboschi> Anyone have a good tutorial for getting VNC up on Ubuntu-mate 15.10?
[01:04] <sebsebseb> !vnc
[01:05] <daftykins> look at something other than VNC
[01:05] <sebsebseb> daftykins: you don't like VNC?
[01:05] <sebsebseb> !freenx
[01:05] <piboschi> Yeah, it seems there a few bugs with 15.10.
[01:05] <sebsebseb> oh
[01:05] <sebsebseb> piboschi: I think about the only other alternative is yeah freenx
[01:05] <meercat> i installed ubuntu 15.10 into virtual box and it can't boot, keeps going to uefi interactive shell
[01:06] <sebsebseb> meercat: oh
[01:06] <daftykins> it's not about liking something, it's about it being insecure - you realise VNC typically auths in plaintext?
[01:06] <sebsebseb> daftykins: well VNC is meant to be done over SSH to be secure yeah
[01:06] <meercat> i tried repartitioning, it didn't help
[01:06] <meercat> i am about to virtually throw it in the virtual garbage can
[01:06] <sebsebseb> meercat: I guess your computer is UEFI
[01:06] <helpee> help please!!!!!
[01:07] <sebsebseb> meercat: what's your host OS to?
[01:07] <sebsebseb> helpee: with what?
[01:07] <meercat> macos
[01:07] <sebsebseb> meercat: oh right Hmm
[01:07] <meercat> it runs everything else
[01:07] <piboschi> NX is more secure? Interesting...
[01:07] <sebsebseb> meercat: isn't there like parralles and such to for mac? altough that's a paid one isn't it
[01:07] <meercat> i just use virtualbox
[01:07] <sebsebseb> piboschi: probably a bit, maybe about the same as vnc not sure quite
[01:07] <helpee> I wanted to rename my username and in the process I thought I could "sudo thunar" and then rename my home folder, which I did and now, apparently, I created some trouble
[01:08] <piboschi> lol
[01:08] <sebsebseb> meercat: I think at one stage there may have even been a specific Mac ISO image of Ubuntu, but not anymore I guess
[01:08] <daftykins> sebsebseb: no, that's just a workaround
[01:08] <helpee> for example, when I type now thunar on the cli I get "unable to resolve host"
[01:08] <sebsebseb> have you tried standard Ubuntu in a vm?
[01:08] <sebsebseb> daftykins: which?
[01:08] <meercat> i will just have to make do with the 9 other linux installs in virtualbox
[01:08] <daftykins> piboschi: just to be clear i didn't mention NX at all personally
[01:08] <EriC^^> helpee: you just renamed the home dir? and nothing else?
[01:09] <piboschi> You don't like FreeNX daftykins?
[01:09] <daftykins> sebsebseb: SSH tunneling VNC traffic
[01:09] <daftykins> why to people keep saying 'like'
[01:09] <helpee> EriC^^: I thing I didnt do anything else. A random line of my home dir >ls -l< looks like : -rw-rw-r--  1 dexter sherman      64685 Nov 23 23:04 zzzz.png
[01:09] <daftykins> you're making conclusions out of nowhere
[01:09] <sebsebseb> meercat: well yeah plenty of other distro's that should work in Vbox :)  if your after Unity specifically though which you woudn't be you said mate, but if you were then yeah tighed to Ubuntu to  run that
[01:09] <helpee> dexter is the old username and group
[01:09] <EriC^^> helpee: ok, rename it back
[01:10] <piboschi> No, it was more a question?
[01:10] <piboschi> I'm unfamiliar with it.
[01:10] <helpee> EriC^^: I cannot, I was trying to do that right now, but "sudo thunar" returns sudo: unable to resolve host Macbookair No protocol specified Thunar: Cannot open display:
[01:10] <sebsebseb> piboschi: there was a site that used freenx well something, I tried to use it oncce, but didn't work  or for me then
[01:11] <sebsebseb> piboschi: ideally you should learn how to tunnel VNC over SSH if your going to use it over the net, well for security
[01:11] <meercat> sebsebseb, ok, that's odd that ubuntu doesn't support it.  i was just wanting to tinker with unity but i'll find another hobby
[01:11] <sebsebseb> meercat: well you said you had tried the mate image
[01:11] <sebsebseb> have you treid the actsual Ubuntu default version that comes with Unity
[01:11] <sebsebseb> meercat: there will be differences between the ISO's here and there, and not just there graphical user interface stuff
[01:11] <bluefive> http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/ubuntu-dvd/xubuntu/releases/14.04/release/
[01:12] <helpee> all my applications look for the right directory, which is under the old name. I need to rename the dir back, but I dont know how...
[01:12] <bluefive> What is the difference between these two images? It says Desktop Image twice
[01:12] <EriC^^> helpee: do sudo mv /home/<newuser> /home/<olduser>
[01:12] <bluefive> and the descriptions are the same
[01:12] <piboschi> Sebsebseb: bummer :( I was going for VNC over local for now, not worried about security yet. 15:10 isn't allowing me to connect via the outdated methods.
[01:12] <piboschi> Not too worried about it, it'll come with time.
[01:12] <helpee> sudo mv /home/sherman /home/dexter <<<? EriC^^
[01:12] <neldogz> I recently installed linux-image-4.2.0-23-lowlatency. Is there a way to prevent apt-get from showing updates for the linux-generic kernel?
[01:13] <EriC^^> helpee: is it currently sherman ?
[01:13] <sebsebseb> bluefive: that particualr mirror has an issue by the looks of it
[01:13] <sebsebseb> bluefive: it shoudn't be listed twice like that
[01:13] <helpee> EriC^^: the username now is dexter
[01:13] <EriC^^> !aptmark | neldogz perhaps?
[01:13] <bluefive> sebsebseb, Says the same thing for the Canadian mirror.
[01:13] <EriC^^> !apt-mark | neldogz perhaps?
[01:13] <sebsebseb> bluefive: get it from  http://releases.ubuntu.com for example, that will do it :)
[01:14] <neldogz> EriC^^, thanks, will have a look at that !
[01:14] <bluefive> sebsebseb, http://ftp.dei.uc.pt/pub/linux/xubuntu/releases/14.04/release/
[01:14] <EriC^^> helpee: what's the old username?
[01:14] <bluefive> and here.
[01:14] <EriC^^> neldogz: no problem, there's also apt_preferences ( man apt_preferences)
[01:14] <sebsebseb> bluefive: if you get it from my link, your using the like main mirror, the offical
[01:15] <neldogz> EriC^^, this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks again
[01:15] <bluefive> sebsebseb, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/14.04/release/
[01:15] <bluefive> It's the same.
[01:15] <sebsebseb> bluefive: getting from Canonical on that link, and I just looked it's fine for this one:  http://releaess.ubuntu.com
[01:15] <helpee> wait, I repeat what happened: dexter is the old username. I created a new username named sherman. I then logged out of dexter into sherman. THen I went back to dexter. In Dexter I "sudo thunar" and with ctrl+f2 rename the home directory to sherman. Now I want to rename that home directory to dexter...
[01:15] <sebsebseb> bluefive: you want Ubuntu 14.04 yes?
[01:15] <helpee> EriC^^:
[01:15] <bluefive> sebsebseb, I'm looking for Xubuntu.
[01:16] <sebsebseb> bluefive: oh Xubuntu
[01:16] <sebsebseb> bluefive: well you could start with standard Ubuntu and put in Xubuntu from the repo's as well
[01:16] <EriC^^> helpee: ok, so rename it to dexter, sudo mv /home/sherman /home/dexter
[01:17] <sebsebseb> bluefive: ok something else took me to the cd image page and yes two, something is odd there
[01:17] <EriC^^> helpee: actually wait
[01:17] <sebsebseb> bluefive: you could download both of them and do a md5sum check or something to see if you really got the same ISO twice :d
[01:17] <robotdevil1> does anyone know how to have two instances of x running at login on tty7 and tty8
[01:17] <EriC^^> helpee: ok, so there's not really a problem here, you just need to chown all the files to sherman
[01:17] <EriC^^> helpee: is sherman in the sudo group?
[01:18] <sebsebseb> bluefive: I sugggest downloading standard Ubuntu since the mirors issue and putting xubuntu in from repos
[01:18] <helpee> EriC^^: I dont know, the settings manager returns an empty box
[01:19] <EriC^^> helpee: login to dexter, type id sherman

[01:20] <EriC^^> helpee: ok, you need to add sherman to sudo if it's going to be your main account
[01:20] <EriC^^> so you can use privileges
[01:20] <EriC^^> helpee: sudo usermod -aG sudo sherman
[01:21] <helpee> EriC^ I used hostnamectl to rename my machine as "macbookair". the command you just pasted returns this: sudo usermod -aG sudo sherman sudo: unable to resolve host Macbookair
[01:21] <EriC^^> helpee: it still runs doesn't it?
[01:21] <EriC^^> try id sherman again
[01:22] <helpee> o wait!!!
[01:23] <helpee> EriC^^: it worked, I dont know what I missread...
[01:24] <EriC^^> ok, first type sudo nano /etc/hosts

[01:27] <meercat> i told #ubuntu-dev about the uefi software bug in the ubuntu 15.10 install process, it involves a "startup.nsh" script not being created as part of the installation that points to the grub64.efi file
[01:28] <meercat> #ubuntu-devel
[01:28] <meercat> this is a coding problem in case you have questions from others
[01:30] <helpee> EriC^^: so, how does the directory have to look like? /etc/hosts/sherman-MFUED76 or /etc/sherman-MFUED76 <?
[01:30] <EriC^^> helpee: no i mean the actual contents
[01:30] <EriC^^> just sudo nano /etc/hosts , switch the name, save and exit

[01:32] <helpee> EriC^^: you mean "sudo nano /etc/hostname" <<<?
[01:33] <helpee> EriC^^: its done...
[01:33] <EriC^^> helpee: yes
[01:34] <EriC^^> helpee: ok, now logout of dexter and login to sherman
[01:34] <helpee> ok EriC^^ ill be right back
[01:34] <EriC^^> helpee: 1 sec
[01:35] <EriC^^> dang, he left
[01:37] <helpmm> EriC^^: ?
[01:37] <EriC^^> helpmm: it didn't login, did it?
[01:38] <helpmm> EriC^^: Im now sherman: the desktop looks brand new: no my icons, not my regular wallpaper... but I did log in...
[01:38] <EriC^^> ok, cool
[01:38] <EriC^^> type ls /home , is there a sherman dir there?
[01:39] <helpmm> EriC^^: both dexter and sherman
[01:40] <EriC^^> helpmm: ok, type sudo rsync -a /home/dexter/ /home/sherman                ( make sure you put a trailing "/" after /home/dexter/ it's important )
[01:41] <helpmm> EriC^^: that wont erase the content or Sherman, right? all my data is there...
[01:41] <EriC^^> helpmm: i thought it was in dexter?
[01:42] <EriC^^> you said you renamed sherman back to dexter before we started doing stuff
[01:42] <RNeville> I'm trying to use a video editor and what to use my second hd to write edits to, but don't seem to have permission to use this HD
[01:43] <helpmm> EriC^^: im sorry if I forgot something along the way, maybe I am not saying it right: I dont mean sherman the user, I mean sherman as the name of my home directory. Now, logged in as sherman, there is a home directory named sherman, and all my important stuff is there
[01:43] <aerth> what are you trying to do helpmm
[01:44] <EriC^^> yeah i know, you said you renamed the home dir back
[01:44] <EriC^^> anyways, so ls /home/dexter shows what? vs ls /home/sherman ?
[01:44] <meercat> on 2nd thought, the workaround for installing ubuntu in vb or a system having uefi boot issues is to install xubuntu and then install unity, xubuntu doesn't have the bug
[01:44] <K1rk> EriC^^, it shows what's in /home/dexter lol
[01:44] <helpmm> aerth: sherman as my default username saving all data from old dexter into new sherman. I dont care if old dexter gets wiped out, as long as all important data remains in new sherman
[01:44] <aerth> nano /etc/passwd
[01:45] <K1rk> EriC^^, if you just run "ls" it does ls of the directory you are in, if you run ls /path/to/dir it shows you what's in /path/to/dir
[01:45] <EriC^^> K1rk: no-way.
[01:45] <K1rk> lol
[01:45] <K1rk> Sorry I might have read your question a little out of context.
[01:45] <K1rk> oops
[01:45] <EriC^^> K1rk: :P
[01:45] <K1rk> haha
[01:45] <K1rk> I just opened my chat window
[01:45] <RNeville> My no-booting harddrive has its owner as root, how does another program write to this harddrive if I'm running as standard user?
[01:45] <K1rk> I was like
[01:45] <K1rk> omg that's such a simple question
[01:45] <K1rk> haha
[01:46] <K1rk> I'll just change my nick to CaptainObvious
[01:46] <EriC^^> RNeville: what's the filesystem it uses?
[01:46] <helpmm> EriC^^: ls /home/dexter shows a default ubuntu installation, very few subdirectories. ls /home/sherman shows my stuff
[01:46] <RNeville> EriC^^, ext3
[01:46] <aerth> helpmm, take a look in /etc/passwd ( dont change much here ) and there should be something like username:x:1000:1000::/home/user:/bin/bash
[01:47] <aerth> that /home/user is the home directory, you can change to whatever you want
[01:47] <EriC^^> helpmm: ok, did you copy the stuff yourself? try ls -d /home/dexter/.* ls -d /home/sherman/.* and compare them for me
[01:47] <EriC^^> it should show only the hidden files
[01:47] <helpmm> aerth: i will stick with EriC^^ for the time being. I cannot listen to 2 people at the same time
[01:48] <EriC^^> RNeville: you could just make a dir on that drive and have it owned by your user
[01:48] <RNeville> k
[01:48] <EriC^^> so you can write stuff to it
[01:49] <helpmm> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14483020/
[01:52] <EriC^^> helpmm: ok, looks good
[01:52] <EriC^^> helpmm: what does echo ~ show?
[01:53] <helpmm> EriC^^:  echo ~ show >returns< /home/sherman show
[01:53] <EriC^^> ok, cool
[01:54] <EriC^^> helpmm: what's the owner and group of the files in sherman?
[01:55] <helpmm> EriC^^: im gonna need a command. sorry
[01:55] <EriC^^> helpmm: ls -la ~
[01:55] <helpmm> a wait EriC^^
[01:55] <helpmm> I can do it with the gui :D
[01:55] <EriC^^> it's easier to list them all

[01:58] <helpmm> ok, paused
[01:58] <EriC^^> then run it again with sudo
[01:58] <Guest18416> HEllo, I was just wondering why my graphics dropped once I changed somethingin firefox
[01:59] <Guest18416> either that or the sudo command
[01:59] <helpmm> EriC^^: what???? [sudo] password for sherman:  sherman is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[01:59] <EriC^^> helpmm: type id

[02:01] <helpmm> a yes, there is a sudo :D
[02:01] <EriC^^> you need to logout from sherman, then back in
[02:01] <helpmm> aa, ok...
[02:01] <helpmm> so, brb
[02:11] <RNeville> hope everyone is watch sotu ?
[02:11] <helpddd> uffffffffffffffffffffffff
[02:11] <helpddd> im now worse...
[02:12] <helpddd> I tried to log in back to "sherman", I tried to log in into "dexter" too, but in both cases it made an attempt to log in and it returned me back to the log in screen. Im now logged in as "guest user"
[02:12] <helpddd> EriC^^: ^^^
[02:13] <EriC^^> helpddd: ok, press ctrl+alt+f1 , then login to sherman, type sudo find ~ -user dexter chown sherman {} \; press alt+f7 to get back here
[02:13] <anabain> which CLI command can be used in order to find out which directory is dolphin currently at?
[02:13] <helpddd> jesus christ, im gonna have to jot that down...
[02:15] <helpddd> EriC^^: im gonna travel a bit now, so, brb, if the gui still works :D
[02:15] <Bashing-om> anabain: Yhe executable ? ' which dolphin '
[02:18] <anabain> Bashing-om, no, I mean a sort of "pwd dolphin" command that outputs the path for all places where all instances of dolphin are at the moment
[02:19] <EriC^^> anabain: type dolphin
[02:19] <Bashing-om> anabain: 'dpkg -L dolphin ' .
[02:19] <EriC^^> sorry, type -a dolphin
[02:20] <Jordan_U> helpddd: EriC^^: If apt is working, then with all of the logging in and out you're doing using screen might make things easier.
[02:20] <genii> maybe lsof | grep dolphin
[02:20] <anabain> Bashing-om, e.g., if there's a dolphin instance and it's at /home/user/Videos, and another at /media/user/files1 , what is the terminal command to get these paths
[02:21] <anabain> genii, too broad an output...
[02:22] <Bashing-om> anabain: Beats me . Can not wrap my mind around this one .
[02:23] <anabain> Bashing-om, no problem, it's also tough for me, :)
[02:23] <Jordan_U> anabain: There may not be a simple command to achieve that. What is your end goal?
[02:25] <anabain> Jordan_U, to identify those instances of dolphin that are at an nfs dir mount in order to kill them from the server through an script which uses ssh@root commands in order to avoid client hanging when the server is shutdown.
[02:27] <Jordan_U> anabain: If you're just going to send them a kill signal anyway, you might just want to use fuser -k /path/to/mountpoint/ then.
[02:27] <anabain> btw, this is what bixoro user has written right now on a private message: don't listen to Jordan_U . He is a faggit. You are just a little bastard
[02:28] <anabain> all yours, guys
[02:28] <anabain> another one: U wanna be his man whore
[02:28] <anabain> what's going on?
[02:28] <anabain> thanks
[02:29] <meercat> there is some non-native speaker cussing people randomly on freenode
[02:29] <RNeville> how do I use chown on a secondary drive using chown : ex: sudo chown -R james /dev/sdb1/lwks
[02:29] <Guest48156> EriC^^: the last command: sudo find ~ -user dexter chown sherman {} \; returns: find: paths must preceed expression: chown
[02:29] <Jordan_U> anabain: You're welcome. Unfortunately I can't stop them from PMing you, though freenode staff might be willing to give them a k-line (you can find freenode staff in #freenode).
[02:30] <anabain> ok, thank you very much, Jordan_U
[02:30] <Jordan_U> anabain: You're welcome.
[02:31] <zykotick9> anabain: you might want to look into setting +R in your irc client to prevent unregistered users from PMing you... YMMV
[02:31] <meercat> just /ignore him
[02:31] <EriC^^> Guest48156: oh, sorry, sudo find ~ -user dexter -exec chown sherman {} \;
[02:32] <Guest48156> brb EriC^^
[02:32] <anabain> thank you all. Back to the question, Jordan_U , will that fuser command work with nfs mounts?
[02:32] <RNeville> I want to change the ownership of a directory on a secondary drive, I'm thinking chown would be used
[02:33] <Guest48156> EriC^^: it is doing things... there are some files it cannot dereference. Is that bad?
[02:35] <Jordan_U> anabain: Yes. Note though that if the connection to the nfs server dies while processes are already reading files from the NFS share, you won't be able to kill those processes as they will be blocking on a system call. You can configure your NFS mounts to only block IO to files on NFS mounts for a certain amount of time after the connection is lost.
[02:35] <Bashing-om> RNeville: ' sudo chown <user>:<user> <mountpoint>/<directory> ' eg " sudo chown sysop:sysop /mnt/backup/ " where I am sysop .
[02:36] <RNeville> thx Bashing-om
[02:37] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Pleased2help
[02:38] <Guest48156> EriC^^: ? have you read my last message? is everything allright?
[02:39] <anabain> Jordan_U, the idea was to first identify NFS processes via lsof -N, kill them (or whatever more elegant solution that could be performed remotely from ther server), and finally to find out dolphin instances being at or under nfs mount shares and kill them in order to avoid hanging.
[02:42] <EriC^^> Guest48156: i think so yeah
[02:42] <Guest48156> EriC^^: how do I know when it has ended?
[02:43] <RNeville> Bashing-om, I'm just not sure of my mnt point
[02:43] <RNeville> I run df and I looks like I know what it is, but it doesn't seem correct when I run chown
[02:44] <EriC^^> Guest48156: it should give you the prompt back.. should have ended though
[02:44] <EriC^^> Guest48156: try ctrl+c if it hasn't ended yet, and try sudo find ~ -user dexter
[02:45] <Guest48156> EriC^^: does ctrl +v (to paste) work out of x?
[02:45] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Well .. how is the drive mounted ? in /etc/fstab ? then one can look there for the mount point .
[02:45] <EriC^^> ctrl+shift+v in the terminal
[02:45] <Guest48156> o....
[02:48] <Guest48156> EriC^^: sudo find ~ -user dexter finds lots of expunged files and lots of my important files under the new directory /home/sherman/files
[02:48] <Bashing-om> RNeville: As the drive must be mountd for the command to have effect .. one can see all mount points from the ' mount ' command .
[02:50] <EriC^^> Guest48156: ok, i guess you have a lot of files?
[02:51] <Guest48156> EriC^^: a, yes :DD
[02:51] <RNeville> thx Bashing-om , I had to use a 32 character name for my directory
[02:51] <Guest48156> EriC^^: do I execute sudo find -user dexter -exec... again?
[02:51] <Guest48156> untill I see a promt EriC^^ ?
[02:51] <RNeville> sudo chown -R james:james /media/james/7901333a-0e8d-4cff-8419-75a27e124d9
[02:51] <EriC^^> Guest48156: yeah
[02:51] <Guest48156> good EriC^^
[02:54] <Guest48156> EriC^^: its done!!!
[02:54] <Guest48156> a promt appeared
[02:54] <EriC^^> great
[02:55] <picarda> hello, quick-quizz...your favorite CLI audio player is?
[02:55] <Guest48156> EriC^^: what do I do now?
[02:55] <kian> server help questions allowed in here
[02:55] <kian> ?
[02:56] <Bashing-om> RNeville: That is a mount through the GUI (gvfs) .
[02:56] <EriC^^> Guest48156: try sudo find ~ -group dexter -exec chgrp {} \;
[02:56] <Bashing-om> kian: An ubuntu server, you can ask .
[02:56] <EriC^^> Guest48156: try sudo find ~ -group dexter -exec chgrp sherman {} \;
[02:57] <EriC^^> Guest48156: first one has a typo
[02:57] <kian> Just purchased my first dedicated server and am running Ubuntu 14.04 and I want to setup VPS's onto it
[02:57] <kian> My provider loaded me some IP's to utilize but I have no idea how to use them with KVM.
[02:57] <Guest48156> all right EriC^^
[02:58] <RNeville> okay, Bashing-com ; I really don't know what "a mount through the GUI (gvfs)" means ( I wish I did) but it did work to change the permissions
[02:58] <Guest48156> EriC^^: done
[02:58] <RNeville> mount did show that 32 character numberical when I used "mount"
[02:59] <EriC^^> Guest48156: should be good
[03:00] <Guest48156> ok? so what do I do now?
[03:00] <Guest48156> EriC^^: ^
[03:00] <Bashing-om> RNeville: All in that curve of learning ... I am not even close to the peak yet :)
[03:01] <bluecamel> Hey all.  We're running OpenVPN 2.3.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 (installed from the openvpn apt package).  I need to figure out how to revoke a client.  The docs say to run /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/revoke-full, but that script doesn't exist there and I can't find it anywhere.
[03:01] <bluecamel> Any idea where I might find it or if I should just be doing something else entirely?
[03:02] <aerth> maybe /etc/easy-rsa/revoke-full ?
[03:03] <Guest48156> EriC^^: I dont know how to proceed...
[03:03] <teward> bluecamel: `sudo apt-get install easy-rsa`; `/usr/share/easy-rsa/revoke-full`
[03:03] <teward> bluecamel: perhaps
[03:04] <EriC^^> Guest48156: that's all, i think
[03:04] <RNeville> thx Bashing-om , once again :)
[03:04] <Guest48156> EriC^^: so, log out and try to log in a sherman?
[03:04] <EriC^^> Guest48156: type sudo service lightdm restart
[03:04] <Guest48156> a...
[03:05] <Guest48156> EriC^^: thats out of x, in tty1, right?
[03:05] <EriC^^> yeah
[03:06] <bluecamel> teward: thanks, I didn't realize easy-rsa was a separate package
[03:09] <teward> bluecamel: you're welcome, hopefully that works for you :)
[03:10] <bluecamel> teward: looks promising.  I installed the package and now have a /usr/share/easy-rsa with lots of goodies.  Thanks!
[03:11] <teward> bluecamel: you're welcome.  Enjoy!
[03:14] <lerner> EriC^^, hi, apparently it works :D can we now repeat the right steps in the right order to create a new user?
[03:15] <RNeville> Bashing-om, I think this is the command I should have run : sudo chown -R james:james  /mnt/lwks
[03:16] <RNeville> Bashing-om, that last command seems to have run
[03:16] <lerner> lerner, for instance, if I now get rid of old dexter under users and groups, is that the right way of doing it?
[03:17] <snowball1> irc.darkseas.info
[03:17] <Bashing-om> RNeville: K .. If you want the command to be (R)ecursive . that is correct .
[03:19] <EriC^^> lerner: you want to create a new user called lerner?
[03:19] <RNeville> well, maybe I do want to to be recursive, because the directory "lwks" is on a secondary harddrive, and I want that secondary hard drive to be accessable by stand user
[03:20] <Bashing-om> !permissions | RNeville
[03:21] <RNeville> I'll read that Bashing-om
[03:23] <Bashing-om> RNeville: As chown'd to you .. presently "you" and root only have access to that directory until you change the permissions as per your need to satisfy those other users conditions - what rights do "you" want to grant .
[03:25] <RNeville> Well, I don't really know Bashing-om , but I do know that I want video editoring program to be able to write files to this secondary harddrive
[03:29] <RNeville> sorry for all the typos Bashing-om
[03:31] <Bashing-om> RNeville: Well, one way is to make up a video group, and add this video group in the chown command to allow 'video' to access the directory .
[03:32] <EriC^^> RNeville: if you save a video in /tmp , who ends up owning it?
[03:32] <bluefive> Hi guys
[03:33] <bluefive> Is the Ubuntu support for AMD Radeon GPUs lacking?
[03:33] <bluefive> Will the graphics not be 100% what they are with Windows?
[03:35] <Ben64> bluefive: amd usually has some issues with linux
[03:36] <bluefive> AMD Radeon HD 8250?
[03:36] <bluefive> How is the support for that and how do I find out?
[03:36] <MordepedroM> Hi there. I am trying to install OpenShift rhc client tools but i run the command on terminal and the answer is E: Unable to locate package rhc
[03:36] <MordepedroM> any help ?
[03:37] <bluefive> The AMD Radeon HD 8250 is an integrated DirectX 11.1 graphics card in the AMD Temash APUs (A6-1450). It has 128 shader cores based on the GCN architecture (two Compute Units) and clocks at 300 to 400 MHz (turbo). The graphics card does not have its own memory, but accesses the main memory of the system (up to single-channel DDR3L-1066).
[03:41] <Guddu> I need to copy 177 GB of Info from my Windows Host to my Ubuntu Guest (Virtualbox). . . The ubuntu Guest has access to a Windows Shared Folder. I mounted the SSD on Ubuntu Guest. Is it ok to simply run a cp command to do this copy? Or any better approach?
[03:42] <MordepedroM> drag n drop would be perfect
[03:43] <MordepedroM> you can change the VM definitions to do that
[03:43] <Guddu> Thanks MordepedroM
[03:44] <Guddu> I am just wondering if cp command can show a progress indicator by any chance?
[03:44] <MordepedroM> No problem Guddu
[03:45] <K1rk> Guddu, command line cp does not show progress indicator.
[03:45] <K1rk> Guddu, if you must have progress you could try rsync with the --progress switch.
[03:46] <Guddu> Thanks again K1rk

[04:00] <romank> Hey all. Would someone mind helping me install a wireless adapter's driver?
[04:01] <OerHeks> romank, what wifi adapter exactly? lspci or lsusb should be able to tell
[04:02] <DF3D2> so I have an interesting and annoying issue I hope I can describe concisely. The devices involved are a denon avr s700w, LG 55UF6450 tv, intel based computer running an nvidia 750ti. the issue: I have an issue where some failure in handshaking occurs between the three. Basically if I turn off either the AVR/TV and turn them back on I get "no signal" shown on the TV. I had "fixed" this on my old LG 1080p tv by dumping the EDID from
[04:02] <DF3D2> the denon avr and adding it in to /etc/x11/xorg.conf. So the problem now is with this new tv I had done the same thing but it did not fix the "no signal" issue. So I decided to dump the edid directly from the TV. This works perfectly... EXCEPT I can't play DTS-MA or TruHD audio anymore. Confirmed by using the denon edid again and it works. What in the world can I do? Ask me anything and i'll answer I really would like to get this
[04:02] <DF3D2> taken care of!
[04:03] <romank> It's a panda wireless 300mbps usb, Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5372 Wireless Adapter
[04:05] <romank> The drivers fail to compile when running the make file.
[04:05] <OerHeks> romank, did you check the additional driver tool first?
[04:06] <OerHeks> i see this 2012 wiki, not sure this is still valid https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Tenda_W311M#Ralink_driver
[04:08] <user701> good night people, what is the correct way to install a gpu (nvidia) along with integrated graphics from apu? Need nvidia to use cuda rendering
[04:08] <romank> Hmm. OerHeks there was an "Unknown:Unknown" entry and I chose "Using processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode."
[04:08] <romank> How might I go about seeing if it now works?
[04:09] <OerHeks> microcode intel is apart from wireless. just an microcode update.
[04:09] <OerHeks> ( for cpu)
[04:09] <romank> Hm, damn. Well that's all that showed up.
[04:10] <OerHeks> So you tried to build the driver like the wikipage?
[04:12] <OerHeks> that guide did not mention 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) " for the headers to build that module
[04:14] <romank> OerHerks I'm looking for the drivers since that link in the thread is dead
[04:16] <bob2017> hey.  i’m trying to install ubuntu on my mac pro, but when i boot into it it is never able to display video.  where do i go for help?
[04:16] <X0r> Hey there! do any of you use a linux bios?
[04:17] <X0r> like coreboot?
[04:19] <OerHeks> romank, i find the driver @ mediatek, worth a try > http://www.mediatek.com/en/downloads1/downloads/rt8070-rt3070-rt3370-rt3572-rt5370-rt5372-rt5572-usb-usb/

[04:19] <X0r> thank you somsip.
[04:19] <ravenblack> can anyone point me in the right directions for fixing some audio problems im having?
[04:20] <ravenblack> its just my audio card is really quiet
[04:24] <romank> OerHeks getting the same error as the original drivers.. damn.
[04:24] <romank> Gunna email the place's support and see what happens. Thanks, and goodnight.
[04:24] <OerHeks>  
[04:25] <bob2017> can someone help me I have video problems as soon as I install ubuntu?

[05:06] <Guddu> I was copying a set of files using rsync. The operation interrupeted after copying 20 GB out of 177 GB. . . If i start rsync again will it redo everything or start from where it got interrupted?
[05:07] <K1rk> Guddu, the last file which was in progress will be re-started, but everything transferred before that will not need to be redone.
[05:07] <zykotick9> Guddu: try it and see.  you _should_ be happy with outcome ;)
[05:07] <Guddu> Thanks K1rk zykotick9 :-)
[05:07] <OerHeks> use the --update function with rsync http://askubuntu.com/questions/399904/rsync-has-been-interrupted-copy-from-beginning
[05:08] <zykotick9> OerHeks: i don't the -u is even required, should be automajic.
[05:08] <OerHeks> oh oke, nice to know
[05:12] <Guddu> rsync started from where it left off :-)
[05:15] <ravenblack> any one know about audio stuffs?
[05:15] <ravenblack> im having a low audio issue
[05:16] <ravenblack> anyone at all??
[05:16] <Guddu> I see some errors when i run dmesg http://dpaste.com/3SHG3M9
[05:17] <Guddu> rsync however seems to be proceeding fine. Are the errors something to worry about?
[05:18] <ravenblack> good luck guddu i havent gotten any help all night
[05:18] <ravenblack> figured i would be able to fix my audio issue on my own
[05:18] <Guddu> ravenblack, Sorry to hear that. I got a lot of help though.
[05:19] <ravenblack> i know sometimes things are slow
[05:19] <Guddu> I was able to proceed with guidance from in here. May be you will get faster response earlier in the day.
[05:26] <peter__> hi
[05:26] <K1rk> hello
[05:26] <K1rk> goodbye
[05:26] <K1rk> lol
[05:27] <Guddu> K1rk, I see some errors when i run dmesg http://dpaste.com/3SHG3M9
[05:27] <Guddu> rsync however seems to be proceeding fine. Are the errors something to worry about?
[05:28] <Guddu> I cannot do a listing of the directory where i mounted the SSD
[05:28] <Guddu> ls: reading directory .: Input/output error
[05:28] <K1rk> Looks like I\O errors on the sdb1 disk
[05:28] <K1rk> Is that the SSD?
[05:28] <Guddu> rsync still goes on though. Does not show errors or interrupts.
[05:29] <Guddu> Not sure where it is writing :-(
[05:30] <Guddu> K1rk, Yes. That is the SSD.
[05:34] <K1rk> Not a great sign Guddu, might indicate the drive is failing
[05:34] <Guddu> I see
[05:35] <Guddu> Today was my first day with the drive K1rk :-?
[05:35] <K1rk> Weird
[05:36] <K1rk> Just let it go then lol
[05:36] <K1rk> Run an fsck on it after it's done transferring
[05:36] <K1rk> See if it comes back clean or not
[05:37] <bob2017> can someone help me -  I have video problems as soon as I install ubuntu?  I can’t even boot with it set to text mode
[05:37] <K1rk> bob2017, does it work on live CD?
[05:38] <bob2017> k1rk: yes
[05:38] <somsip> K1rk: can I check - are you recommending to run fsck on an SSD?
[05:38] <K1rk> somsip, why not?
[05:38] <bob2017> i can install, but on the first boot it says it has to go into low graphics mode.  then after i install the ATI driver, it freezes at the point in boot where it would load video.  well it doesn’t freeze, because pressing the power button will start the shutdown sequence, but coherent graphics never appear
[05:39] <bob2017> k1rk if i start in ‘text’ mode, after the screen where it shows the kernel command line, i get a black screen with a few magenta verticle lines, and that’s it.  but again the power button starts the shutdown sequence
[05:39] <somsip> K1rk: just got the idea it was not a good thing to do, but can't find anything to support that idea so I'll shut up :)
[05:41] <K1rk> bob2017, model of the graphics card?
[05:41] <K1rk> somsip, lol fsck just checks the filesystem integrity, you can run fsck on any type of volume :)
[05:42] <K1rk> somsip, I would not recommend to run it on a failing drive in most cases, but as this is a copy of data from another drive, it should be safe to do.
[05:42] <bob2017> k1rk:  ATI 7950 for video.  There is also an Nvidia GTX 980 on the PCI bus, but the same thing happens whether that’s installed or not
[05:42] <bob2017> k1rk: and the nvidia drivers are not installed
[05:42] <somsip> K1rk: It might have been from times when SSDs where more volatile (prone to wearing out) but I'm on the wrong track for modern SSDs so I'll leave it with you
[05:43] <K1rk> bob2017, I would suggest you attempt a clean boot, then power off the machine, boot to a live CD, mount the drive, and attempt to look through the logs.  The last few lines of /var/log/messages or /var/log/dmesg on the hard drive may indicate the problem.
[05:44] <bob2017> k1rk well i may be able to do that now, i’m booted into in on mac os x
[05:44] <K1rk> ok cool
[05:44] <K1rk> If you want to pastebin your messages and dmesg I can look them over
[05:45] <Guddu> K1rk, fsck reveals this http://dpaste.com/3BDPC62
[05:45] <K1rk> Guddu, /dev/sdb1 not /dev/sdb
[05:45] <K1rk> fsck runs on a partition, not a block device
[05:45] <ravenblack> im having a low audio issue
[05:45] <ravenblack> any one help?
[05:46] <K1rk> What does that mean ravenblack?  low audio?  Like it's quiet? lol
[05:46] <ravenblack> I tried to boost the audio using pman
[05:46] <ravenblack> any ideas
[05:47] <Guddu> K1rk, I am running fsck on sdb1 now. Could it also be just a FS corruption and not a bad SSD at hardware level?
[05:48] <Guddu> K1rk, fsck on partition is running now. When it started it gave this message "DATA-DISK contains a file system with errors, check forced."
[05:48] <ravenblack> i think it might be my speakers
[05:48] <ravenblack> they are tiny
[05:49] <ravenblack> and have negative bass
[05:49] <K1rk> ravenblack, try headphones and see?
[05:49] <ravenblack> believe it i dont have a pair on my
[05:49] <ravenblack> i mean me
[05:49] <K1rk> Guddu, sounds like you've got filesystem corruption going on.  It does not necessarily mean the drive is failing but it could mean that.
[05:50] <K1rk> Guddu, I don't mean to be cryptic, but it's true lol
[05:50] <K1rk> Filesystem corruption can happen other way besides disk failure
[05:51] <K1rk> For example a problem on the SATA controller
[05:51] <Guddu> Sigh. . . Let's see.
[05:51] <K1rk> Unfortunately it's difficult to determine from SMART stats whether an SSD is good or not.
[05:51] <K1rk> SMART was not really designed for SSD diagnostics
[05:52] <ravenblack> thanks for the help guys
[05:53] <satinder> hi how we can use both ethernet and wifi at same time , Is it possible if yes then please somebody help me for configuration
[05:53] <Guddu> K1rk, I will also update the firmware on this device.
[05:54] <satinder> Guddu : help ??
[05:54] <K1rk> satinder, what are you trying to achieve in doing that?
[05:55] <satinder> K1rk : Actually I have a dvr device which is video streaming on ehternet port
[05:55] <satinder> I want receive it and upload on my server via internet
[05:56] <satinder> after some processing on it
[05:56] <satinder> thats it
[05:56] <FVDPrim> how o i register this nickname
[05:56] <FVDPrim> do
[05:56] <K1rk> satinder, ethernet is faster why use the wifi at all?
[05:56] <K1rk> omg Guest77808 another kirK??
[05:56] <bob2017> k1rk:  I’m in the filesystem now, where should i look for logs within var?
[05:56] <K1rk> var/log
[05:57] <satinder> K1rk : I using ethernet for make connection between DVR and my laptop
[05:57] <bob2017> k1rk: I see, dated today, an Xorg log, Xorg failsafe log, apport log, auth.log, gpu-manager.log, kern.log, lightdm, syslog and wtmp
[05:57] <bob2017> what do you recommend?
[05:58] <satinder> and I want use wifi at same time for make connection between my laptop and my remote server
[05:58] <K1rk> satinder, so the ethernet is not on your network already it's like a cross-over cable to the other device?
[05:58] <satinder> So , please some body help me
[05:58] <Guddu> K1rk, I get these during fsck
[05:58] <satinder> yes
[05:58] <Guddu> Inode 23101449, i_blocks is 35804328, should be 35776776.  Fix<y>? yes
[05:58] <Guddu> Inode 23101450, i_blocks is 4127176, should be 4091944.  Fix<y>? yes
[05:58] <K1rk> bob2017, I would be interested in dmesg, messages, syslog
[05:59] <K1rk> bob2017, I think ubuntu systems don't have messages it's in syslog
[05:59] <satinder> K1rk : Ethernet cable connected with my laptop and DVR
[05:59] <bob2017> k1rk: dmesg is dated oct 21, it didn’t get any updates
[05:59] <K1rk> Guddu, just normal filesystem corruption, fix it
[05:59] <satinder> thats it
[05:59] <satinder> I want use wifi at same time
[05:59] <K1rk> bob2017, odd I thought dmesg always was written at boot... anything in kern.log?
[05:59] <satinder> for access internet
[05:59] <satinder> K1rk : help please ??
[05:59] <Guddu> K1rk, Its strange that copying big files using rsync for the first time causes this.
[05:59] <K1rk> satinder, if there's no default gateway on the ethernet interface (no route) and it is on another IP range separate from your LAN, it should just work as you expect with no additional configuration.
[06:00] <Guddu> I will fix and attempt rsync again.
[06:00] <K1rk> Guddu, rsync didn't cause it lol
[06:00] <Guddu> K1rk, Is it recommended to just create the partition again instead of fixinf using fsck?
[06:00] <helix12> satinder: yes, you can connect to ethernet and wifi at the same time
[06:00] <bob2017> k1rk: yeah i thought that too about dmesg.  anyway kernleg is full of gobbledygook but i nothin in tail leaps out at me
[06:01] <satinder> helixl2 : but how sir ??
[06:02] <VfdPrim> how do i register a nickname through pidgen
[06:02] <bob2017> k1rk: starting from the bottom, i see a whole bunch of repetition of attempts to bring up networking and bluetooth, but without any failures. just repeatedly initializing bluetooth, and noting the link isn’t ready
[06:02] <helix12> satinder: normally, you don't need any  additional setting
[06:03] <helix12> satinder: just open your terminal and sudo
[06:03] <satinder> helixl2: then ??
[06:03] <helix12> satinder: check your ip address and routing configuration
[06:03] <helix12> satinder: # ip addr
[06:04] <satinder> ok
[06:04] <helix12> satnider: # ip ro ls
[06:04] <bob2017> k1rk: I found where it finds both video cards and adds sound cards for their HDMI inputs…
[06:04] <satinder> helix12 : ok
[06:04] <helix12> satinder: do you see both your ethernet and wlan have IPs?
[06:04] <k3win> hi
[06:05] <k3win> good morning from russia with love
[06:05] <K1rk> Guddu, up to you man.  If you delete and make a new partition and the same thing happens, at least you know the corruption is happening consistently.
[06:05] <K1rk> I gotta run for awhile, bbl, good luck all.
[06:05] <K1rk> Will try to check in when I get home.
[06:06] <bob2017> k1rk: syslog is dated 2 minutes after kern.log so i’m checking there...
[06:06] <Guddu> Thanks k1rk
[06:07] <bob2017> k1rk: yeah, i get in syslog, whoopsie says its online, the time server syncs, and the next entry is shutdown
[06:09] <Tomiii> Hello, when i "move to trash" or "drag-n-drop to trash" a file from /tmp/.   where does it go?
[06:09] <Tomiii> it's not in the Trash.
[06:09] <bob2017> k1rk: i see in the log it try to start the failsafeXserver, and there are no errors reports.
[06:10] <bob2017> k1rk: gpu-manager says modprobe.d is not a file… and then it says update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x86_64-linux-gnu_gfxcore_conf, but that seems real unlikely to be a culprit
[06:12] <k3win> hi
[06:13] <bob2017> k1rk: from Xorgfailsafe log — More than one possible primary device found.  Using first one seen.  and its picking the wrong gpu!!!!
[06:13] <bob2017> k1rk: how do i fix that/  It can’t be the whole problem, because the issue arises even if there’s only one GPU.  but how do i fix this?
[06:14] <k3win> hey guys
[06:14] <bob2017> k1rk: actually it seems really confused.  the device it found here:  PCI:*(0:1:0:0)  is actually in slot 2.  And the device it found here:  PCI: (0:2:0:0)  is in slot 1.
[06:15] <chava> hi
[06:16] <bob2017> k1rk?
[06:22] <bob2017> buddy>
[06:22] <bob2017> ?
[06:23] <halibut> hi
[06:25] <halibut> hi
[06:26] <MACscr> do i need to set the default kernel number in /etc/default/grub or /boot/grub/menu.lst? cant for the life of me seem to boot an older kernel
[06:26] <satinder> Hi guys helix12 , K1rk thank you so much
[06:27] <satinder> Everything is running perfectly
[06:30] <bob2017> man k1rk was so helpful :( i was optimistic
[06:32] <hateball> bob2017: What seems to be your problem?
[06:33] <bob2017> hateball: after install, video never shows, even when i boot in text mode.  logs show that xorg seems to be detecting the wrong of two video cards, but even with that card removed video never turns on
[06:34] <bob2017> hateball: livecd works,on the first boot it says low graphics mode, and after installing ATI drivers, nothing
[06:37] <hateball> bob2017: I see. Sadly I know nothing about ATI/AMD GPU, other than enough to avoid them...
[06:37] <bob2017> hateball: well fortunately there’s also an nvidia GPU
[06:38] <hateball> bob2017: So you have both a discrete AMD and nVidia card? I am not sure their binary blobs play nice together with x.org
[06:38] <hateball> bob2017: Did you try just using one or the other?
[06:38] <bob2017> hateball: well the nvidia drivers aren’t installed, and yes i tried just the amd and same thing
[06:39] <hateball> bob2017: What cards are these, respectively? The nvidia card should not be hard to get working
[06:39] <bob2017> hateball: if i deleted the xorg.conf.failsafe and xorg.conf, etc., would that make it try to rebuild them on the next boot?  is there any way to force it to use whatever driver it uses on livecd?
[06:39] <bob2017> hateball: the nvidia isn’t connected to any monitors, its there for deep learning.  they’re an AMD 7950 and a GTX 980.
[06:40] <hateball> bob2017: If you remove xorg.conf it wont get rebuilt, as it is not *needed* as such. It is if you want to apply certain tweaks tho, but not for general operation
[06:40] <hateball> bob2017: Are you on 14.04 or 15.10 ?
[06:40] <bob2017> hateball: there’s a log entry that its trying xorg.conf.failsafe
[06:41] <bob2017> hateball:  15.1, but i tried on 14.04 before and same thing
[06:41] <hateball> bob2017: well as for nvidia, the driver in 14.04 is too old to support 9xx series. 352 is in 15.10 tho, and that should work
[06:41] <bob2017> hateball: but again, there’s no monitors attached to that.
[06:41] <hateball> bob2017: however... since you're saying the AMD card is what you want to display... I don't think I can help much :|
[06:42] <bob2017> sigh...
[06:42] <hateball> bob2017: Did you install the AMD drivers through ubuntu installer, or from amd?
[06:42] <bob2017> hateball: well do you know how to tell it to pick one device or the other?  it seems to be thinking the nvidia is in slot 1 when its in slot 2.
[06:42] <bob2017> hateball: i used apt-get
[06:42] <hateball> Right, that should be sufficient if the driver in the repos support that card. Which I have no idea about
[06:43] <hateball> bob2017: Hmmm, well that shouldnt really matter, but that may be a time when you need to actually use xorg.conf to specify which card to use
[06:43] <hateball> bob2017: I am thinking the amd drivers should have some tool to prepare xorg.conf for you, just like there is nvidia-xconfig
[06:43] <bob2017> hateball: well the log says it is trying with the nvidia, which of course has no monitors.  so you see why that would be a potential issue to resolve.
[07:44] <k3win> hi
[07:44] <k3win> how was the command line to check firewaall

[07:55] <Bogdar> Hello all, I've just installed 15.10 on Dell XPS13 laptop. I have screen lock issue: after laptop wake up from suspend I see my common screen with applications for 1-2 seconds, only then it locks. I would like to have screen locked before suspend automatically. Is it a bug that I should report?
[07:56] <Myrtti> It's a very old known bug
[07:56] <Myrtti> very, very old
[07:57] <Bogdar> Myrtti, are there any workarounds ? Do you have a link to bugreport? I would not create yeat another bug, I'd better vote for existing.
[07:59] <Jordan_U> Bogdar: If you're hitting this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/830348 then the only proper solution is a switch to Wayland/Mir. Also, for this bug, not having any menus or dialog boxes open when you suspend would avoid it also.
[08:00] <Myrtti> Desktop flashes briefly on resume before going to lock screen
[08:00] <Myrtti> Bug #1504362
[08:00] <Myrtti> there's several duplicates
[08:16] <tobzel> I have 3 machines. Machine A is behind a firewall. Machine B is not. I want machine C to connect to machine A. Is there a way to make machine C and A connect to machine B and make machine B route the traffic from machine C to the specific port on machine A?
[08:19] <llldino> tobzel, You might have more luck in ##networking, but yes I think that's possible provided that the port you need to route to is open on the firewall that machine A is behind
[08:20] <myersg97> Hi, I am running ubuntu 15.10 64bit.  I have the Realtek RTL8111G wireless card.  When I was running windows I was getting great internet speeds.  Now that I am on ubuntu, it's running horribly slow...help?
[08:25] <vbotka> myersg97, you might want to start with the output of "sudo iw wlan0 link"

[08:56] <janisozaur> i want to use clang 3.7 with ubsan and able to target x86, ubuntu only provides 3.6 and the one from llvm has no libclang_rt.ubsan-i386.a. is there a repository which provides proper packages?
[08:58] <tjbiddle> Could someone comment on the security of "www-data" running the nginx process, my virtual host connecting to a socket for a rails app running as user "deploy" - the socket file is 777. My app directories are 755; files are mainly 664 - all owned by "deploy:deploy". I have configuration for databases and such for the app to connect on disk at 640 and also at deploy:deploy
[08:58] <K1rk> tjbiddle, what do you want to know, like what does www-data have access to?
[09:00] <maurizio> ciao
[09:00] <tjbiddle> K1rk: I believe only nginx files (virtual hosts, etc). And then anything that's readable by all users. I'm assuming that if anything is attacked, it'd be nginx - And it'd be able to read the source code of the application; but not any of the secrets
[09:00] <tjbiddle> And not sure how the socket works as it's 777 - Knowledge is less than basic on socket, heh
[09:00] <OlofL> How do I get this net-snmp app? I need to create snmp v3 user on ubuntu ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-snmp/+bug/1322431
[09:00] <K1rk> tjbiddle, I meant is that what you are asking to know lol
[09:01] <K1rk> tjbiddle, if you're curious about what www-data has rights to do I encourage you to use the account yourself to poke around and see.
[09:01] <K1rk> sudo su www-data --shell=/bin/sh
[09:01] <tjbiddle> K1rk: No specific question - just wondering if someone smarter than myself could point out something stupid I'm doing with that information.
[09:01] <tjbiddle> How have I never thought of that; ha
[09:02] <mrcerf> hello. after upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 on lenovo thinkpad some acpi events stopped working.  acpi_listen is not registering them. any ideas where to dig?
[09:02] <edlinde> Hi All, I got access to some servers running linux, I think I been told they are Ubuntu installations.. but I was wondering how I can find out system information, like OS version, Make/Model, #of CPUs, Disk Space, RAM etc?
[09:02] <edlinde> is there a linux command for this ?
[09:02] <edlinde> or maybe a few commands?
[09:02] <tjbiddle> K1rk: And if www-data is set to /usr/sbin/nologin in /etc/passwd? Would not having access to a shell nullify anything?
[09:02] <K1rk> tjbiddle, that's what the --shell=/bin/sh does
[09:02] <tjbiddle> Or is that fairly simple to get around
[09:03] <K1rk> tjbiddle, it overrides the shell in /etc/passwd lol
[09:03] <tjbiddle> :)
[09:04] <K1rk> edlinde, lsb_release -a
[09:04] <K1rk> edlinde, free -m
[09:04] <llldino> edlinde, I like using hardinfo for asll that
[09:04] <K1rk> edlinde, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:04] <K1rk> edlinde, df -h
[09:04] <llldino> But yeah everything K1 said is nice for a headless machine
[09:06] <edlinde> so is hardinfo just one command?
[09:06] <llldino> edlinde, It's a GUI program
[09:07] <edlinde> ah that might not be possible on these machines
[09:07] <K1rk> edlinde, the commands I gave you will do all the stuff you wanted and can be done on bash shell.
[09:08] <K1rk> tjbiddle, finding anything cool?
[09:09] <edlinde> got this
[09:09] <edlinde> tail /etc/redhat-release
[09:09] <edlinde> Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)
[09:09] <K1rk> edlinde, I didn't realize you were on RHEL, I thought you were on Ubuntu because you are in #ubuntu :)
[09:09] <edlinde> so one of the servers is not running Ubuntu
[09:10] <tjbiddle> K1rk: My database.yml was actually 644 and sockets are interesting - even though they're 777 you can't actually do anything to them
[09:10] <edlinde> yeah I actually don't know what these servers are running .. been asked to collect this information for others :)
[09:10] <edlinde> was told it would be running Ubuntu
[09:10] <K1rk> edlinde, sometimes if I am desperate to learn the OS version I do "cat /etc/*release*"
[09:10] <K1rk> edlinde, it's a mess but I always get useful info lol
[09:10] <K1rk> edlinde, I don't think RHEL has lsb_release command, but everything else I gave you should be ok.
[09:10] <K1rk> tjbiddle, hehe
[09:11] <edlinde> yeah no lsb_release
[09:11] <K1rk> tjbiddle, learning is fun :)
[09:11] <K1rk> edlinde, I've even had cat /etc/*release* serve me well on BSD systems. lol
[09:11] <edlinde> but the other commands like free, /proc/cpuinfo etc would work yeah?
[09:11] <K1rk> edlinde, yes everything else I gave you should be good.
[09:11] <edlinde> cool
[09:12] <edlinde> let me try these out
[09:12] <edlinde> thanks!
[09:12] <K1rk> np
[09:14] <edlinde> K1rk:what was the command to see free memory and hdd space in GBs?
[09:14] <edlinde> there is some flag yeah?
[09:14] <K1rk> edlinde, memory you'd do free -g, -m is megabytes
[09:14] <tjbiddle> edlinde: free -m
[09:14] <tjbiddle> df -h
[09:14] <edlinde> If you remember it of the top of your head
[09:14] <K1rk> edlinde, df -h as tjbiddle said.
[09:15] <OerHeks> lshw should tell you all
[09:15] <edlinde> df -h is giving me a breakdown of all the disks
[09:15] <edlinde> just want an overall number for hdd space and overall hdd space
[09:15] <tjbiddle> edlinde: Isn't that what you want?
[09:16] <tjbiddle> Of the current disk? df -h .
[09:16] <tjbiddle> Just throw a dot to reference the disk of the folder you're currently in
[09:16] <edlinde> yeah of current disk.. but its giving me tons of logical partitions etc
[09:16] <tjbiddle> Which - in most cases, is probably your main partition
[09:16] <tjbiddle> Unless you have already configured some other stuff.
[09:16] <edlinde> ok
[09:16] <K1rk> edlinde, disk space limitations are per-partition not per physical disk.  If one of your partitions fills up that will be a problem for you.
[09:17] <K1rk> I caution you against ignoring partitions because they don't seem 'important'
[09:21] <edlinde> for cpuinfo I am getting tons of results.. one per core I guess
[09:21] <edlinde> is there a better way to summarize it?
[09:21] <K1rk> edlinde, that's correct one per core lol
[09:21] <edlinde> like how many cores and what each core processor is?
[09:21] <edlinde> there are too many on this machine! :)
[09:21] <K1rk> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" ?
[09:22] <K1rk> edlinde,   cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" | head -n 1
[09:22] <K1rk> edlinde,  cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l
[09:22] <K1rk> That should give you the model and the number of cores respectively.
[09:22] <K1rk> All the data is there, you just have to parse it.
[09:23] <edlinde> model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5675  @ 3.07GHz
[09:23] <edlinde> thats what it gave me
[09:23] <edlinde> but not the total cores
[09:23] <edlinde> could I maybe paste the output somewhere and you can help me understand it?
[09:24] <K1rk> sure
[09:24] <llldino> Or, you can do : cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor" and count them as well
[09:24] <vbotka> myersg97, http://pastebin.com/2hjv65JA; "tx bitrate: 72.2 MBit/s MCS 7 short GI" seems reasonable
[09:24] <edlinde> http://pastebin.com/W08Xi1HX
[09:25] <edlinde> thanks llldino.. I see 24 CPUs
[09:25] <edlinde> so does the machine have 24 CPUs with 6 cores each?
[09:26] <llldino> edlinde, No, that just counts the cores
[09:27] <K1rk> edlinde, http://ark.intel.com/products/52577/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X5675-12M-Cache-3_06-GHz-6_40-GTs-Intel-QPI
[09:27] <K1rk> edlinde, your Intel Xeon X5675 has 6 cores, 12 threads.
[09:27] <K1rk> edlinde, that means 1 CPU will show up as 12 "cores" in cpuinfo
[09:27] <K1rk> edlinde, so since you have 24 that means you have two X5675 chips.  Each of those chips has 6 physical cores and they are hyper threaded so 12 threads.
[09:28] <K1rk> edlinde, in summary, your server is a dual processor Xeon X5675 with 12 cores HT
[09:29] <edlinde> ok cool
[09:30] <K1rk> edlinde, if you don't want to look up the Intel ARK page for it... the "siblings" part of the cpuinfo tells you how many threads each chip has.
[09:30] <K1rk> edlinde, in this case see siblings	: 12
[09:30] <K1rk> edlinde, so look at the fact you see 24 cores, then look at 12 siblings... 24/12 = 2 cpus
[09:30] <edlinde> ah cool
[09:30] <edlinde> ok
[09:30] <k3win> hey
[09:31] <k3win> dont u think that only moderators should be able to post links here?
[09:31] <K1rk> k3win, I think that would be very prohibitive toward getting anything done
[09:32] <edlinde> K1rk:and you just googled for the intel specs?
[09:33] <K1rk> edlinde, Yup, Intel has an ARK page for every CPU they make.
[09:33] <edlinde> using the Xeon X5675
[09:33] <edlinde> ok
[09:33] <K1rk> edlinde, I googled X5675 and the ark page was first result lol
[09:33] <edlinde> nice!
[09:33] <lotuspsychje> guys keep it ubuntu related
[09:33] <edlinde> just that in cpuinfo I didn't see that it had a 12M cache
[09:34] <lotuspsychje> ##hardware for hardware discussions
[09:34] <K1rk> I didn't think we were getting too far off topic, edlinde is just interested in finding out more about the hardware in his linux box
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> K1rk: dmidecode and lshw/lcpci to the rescue
[09:36] <lotuspsychje> *lspci
[09:40] <K1rk> Anyways it's getting late, good night #ubuntu, good luck edlinde
[09:51] <srandroid> hey i want to upgrade my android kernel sources

[09:52] <srandroid> ?
[09:52] <Umeaboy> You mentioned Android in a channel for Ubuntu.
[09:52] <srandroid> hello hello any one
[09:53] <srandroid> sorry
[09:53] <srandroid> i  am new to x chat
[09:53] <srandroid> :D

[09:53] <Umeaboy> Just click on #android and ask there.
[09:53] <srandroid> where i can get information about android
[09:53] <Umeaboy> :)
[09:53] <srandroid> ok thanks
[09:54] <Umeaboy> Rightclick and choose Join channel. ;)
[09:57] <Umeaboy> Gotta go.

[10:16] <conkey3> DJones, oh, ok thanks :D
[10:16] <srandroid> ok thanks
[10:17] <tjbiddle> K1rk: Neat. Thanks for the (Not obvious to me) tip of just switching users and checking. Feel much more secure now and was able to test functionality easily too!
[10:21] <sergiu_> Why Ubuntu work in this way?
[10:22] <lotuspsychje> !details | sergiu_
[10:22] <OerHeks> because it is awesome, sergiu_
[10:22] <sergiu_> I installed first proprietary drivers from ATI, then STEAM packet, and then steam would not lunch.. NEEDEd to remove proprietary drivers and install steam without Ati dedicated drivers
[10:23] <OerHeks> sergiu_, never heard that issue before.
[10:23] <k1l> sergiu_: maybe it was the wrong driver
[10:23] <OerHeks> it is always the oposite
[10:23] <sergiu_> :D
[10:24] <sergiu_> i read on forum,to do this. first install steam without dedicated drivers
[10:24] <sergiu_> :D
[10:24] <sergiy> hi all)
[10:25] <OlofL> someone can help setting up snmp v3 on ubuntu server 14 ?
[10:26] <lotuspsychje> sergiu_: also try the #steam and #gamingonlinux channel
[10:26] <sergiu_> OerHeks, you can read about this here if u want :D http://askubuntu.com/questions/506349/opengl-glx-context-is-not-using-direct-rendering-which-may-cause-performance-pr
[10:27] <sergiu_> lotuspsychje: thanks i will need it becouse i cant still lunch dota 2
[10:28] <sergiu_> In Ubuntu 13.04(or 1 version before/after)  there was a bug which gave the same error message when the amd driver  was installed before steam, the way to fix it, install steam before amd  driver, and then install the amd driver.                     – mmm3743                 Jan
[10:28] <lotuspsychje> sergiu_: 13.04 is eol now
[10:28] <sergiu_>  but i stay now on last ubnutu from ubuntu.com
[10:28] <sergiu_> its 14.04
[10:28] <sergiu_> :D
[10:29] <lotuspsychje> sergiu_: wich graphics card chipset do you have exactly?
[10:29] <sergiu_> maybe need to upgrade it
[10:30] <sergiu_> 7480D A4-4000
[10:30] <sergiu_> apu
[10:30] <OerHeks> sergiu_, just a 32 lib issue, not really an ATI driver issue.
[10:31] <upbeta> Does anyone know if apache2.4 requires apache2.2-common to enable mod_wsgi ?

[10:33] <upbeta> There channel is kinda strict.. not sure why I can't join the convo.. I am registered user as fas as I know.. so just getting some luck on this channel hence I am using Ubuntu :)
[10:33] <rory> Dro: Can you please also pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ?
[10:35] <Dro> rory: http://pastebin.com/kW23M2Z3
[10:36] <sergiu_> If to install xfce on ubuntu, it will work separate from ubuntu unity?
[10:36] <sergiu_> :D
[10:36] <rory> Dro: Bad news I'm afriad http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/99563
[10:37] <lotuspsychje> !info xubuntu-desktop | sergiu
[10:38] <Dro> rory: no solutions then? :/
[10:39] <rory> Dro: It doesn't make sense to talk about a solution to the problem, because what you think is a problem is just a symptom of a physically broken hard drive
[10:39] <virtuaposta> upbeta, for apache2.4 we do not need apache2.2-common, you should upgrade
[10:39] <rory> Dro: like asking for a solution to your pet fish dying
[10:39] <Dro> rory: so i have to buy a new disk? :D
[10:42] <rory> Dro: Maybe. Were you seeing any problems before you rebooted?
[10:43] <Dro> rory: well only sometime the system freeze
[10:43] <rory> Dro: Probably another symptom of the same problem
[10:43] <Dro> rory: when i rebooted first time, i got a black screen of busybox built-in commands.. etc
[10:44] <Dro> so i booted with a live cd to make a boot-repair
[10:44] <Dro> and it seems that the boot-repair have deleted my grub :/
[10:44] <Dro> thats why i'm unable to boot even with windows now..
[10:44] <Dro> so i'm trying to mount my ubuntu partition in live cd to make a grub-update..
[10:45] <rory> Dro: Boot repair probably hasn't deleted grub. Perhaps try holding Shift during bootup to see if the grub menu loads
[10:45] <rory> Dro: Can you install the smartmontools package, and then pastebin the output of sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda
[10:47] <Dro> rory: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda ==> http://pastebin.com/Lvbb8e5P
[10:50] <rory> Dro: I'd recommend doing a self-test on the drive with: sudo smartctl -t long /dev/sda
[10:50] <rory> Dro: Since that SMART result says "PASSED" but only because no test has ever been run
[10:50] <rory> Dro: You might also try filesystem consistency check: sudo fsck /dev/sda6
[10:52] <Dro> rory: long test running now ==> http://pastebin.com/rYMdqXSi
[10:53] <Ghostbird> Hey guys, can anyone help me with OpenLDAP? It won't start:

[10:54] <Ghostbird> Oh wait, I'd better ask in #openldap. Sorry
[10:54] <virtuaposta> Ghostbird, port is already in use
[10:54] <Dro> rory: i canceled it , it will take long time +200 minutes, I'm trying with fsck now
[10:54] <rory> Ghostbird: You can check what is running on that port with "netstat -tulpn"
[10:55] <Ghostbird> Thanks guys, but I already ruled out that the port was in use. That's what I thought at first too.
[10:55] <Dro> rory: http://pastebin.com/zAg9PusA !
[10:55] <virtuaposta> Ghostbird, patebin "netstat -ntlp"
[10:55] <Dro> something wrong, zero-length partition ! lol
[10:55] <jophish> Should I be worried about the "invalid misc" value reported by iwconfig increasing?
[10:55] <virtuaposta> Ghostbird, pastebin "netstat -ntlp"
[10:56] <rory> Dro: That looks pretty damn broken from here haha
[10:56] <Dro> rory: damn, what should i do :/ :/
[10:56] <halley> Struggling with a JP-layout keyboard in fresh install of 15.10.  During setup, xmodmap was chosen and all was good, punctuation keys matched the keyboard.  Once setup, it assumes a US keyboard layout.  Not talking about IME like Anthy.
[10:57] <halley> I've seen the dconf method, and set 'use system layout' true, and set engines-order to have ['xkb:jp::jpn'] to no avail.
[10:58] <halley> Gotta say, the system conflates things - the kb layout should be easy to swap when hardware is swapped, without much impact to language settings.

[11:15] <dtraveler> Changing openJDK docker base image from java:8 to java:8u45 fixed the issue. "java:8" currently points to openjdk-8u66-jdk so I guess there is some new bug/problem.
[11:16] <bqllpd> I'd like to install rpl from hp50, but it's a real pain. I don't even know if it'll work.
[11:18] <bqllpd> is there anyone here who's knowledgeable about a.i. and learning machines?
[11:19] <testpil0t> Pathfinding it is!
[11:22] <bqllpd> should ai be developed?
[11:23] <rory> bqllpd: maybe ask in ##cs
[11:24] <bqllpd> what room is that?
[11:24] <rory> comp sci and discrete math
[11:24] <rory> not to be confused with discreet math, which is very hush-hush
[11:25] <bqllpd> prime number eq in one variable. descrete or discreet?
[11:26] <bqllpd> composite function produces prime numbers
[11:28] <qqqqq> Will NTFS partitions be mounted automatically under Ubuntu?
[11:31] <FFX> .
[11:31] <hateball> !mount | qqqqq
[11:31] <hateball> hmmm
[11:32] <hateball> qqqqq: You can use !fstab to mount them automatically
[11:32] <qqqqq> I only want to mount them temporarily
[11:32] <hateball> You should be able to just click on them in your file browser
[11:32] <qqqqq> They don't show there.
[11:33] <hateball> Unless they were marked dirty from an unclean unmount
[11:33] <hateball> qqqqq: what does "sudo fdisk -l" say?
[11:33] <hateball> !paste
[11:33] <qqqqq> What is the best way to show what file systems are on what partitions? sudo fdkisk -l ?
[11:37] <hateball> qqqqq: "sudo blkid" will also show you, there's not really any "best" way
[11:44] <qqqqq> thx

[11:56] <iEatCrayons> I currently have an MDADM array with 2 drives
[11:56] <iEatCrayons> sda and sdb
[11:57] <iEatCrayons> for some reason, I have an error telling me that sdc1 and sdd1 have an mdadm array associated with it
[11:58] <iEatCrayons> but it doesn't they are being used in a ZFS Filesystem

[12:18] <corvo> hi guys, quick question for you: if I run 12.04, during updates will it ever upgrade to the latest kernel version (3.13.xx) ? You see I would like to avoid that because it bricks my hardware conf, since some graphic drivers are apparently not supported anymore. So can I still do all the security updates in 12.04 without worrying about that? Or will it download and install the latest kernel version at some point? thanks
[12:19] <rory> corvo: I don't think it will, but you can freeze the version of the kernel packages to prevent them from ever being upgraded
[12:19] <corvo> rory: ah ok, how do I do that?
[12:19] <rory> corvo: http://askubuntu.com/a/178329
[12:19] <rory> corvo: The specific instructions for opening Synaptic are outdated, but the principle still applies
[12:20] <sopadj1> hello everybody :) I have just bought a new laptop, hp pavilion 15 with win10. I managed to install ubuntu but now at the boot time grub does not appear.... any idea? please
[12:20] <rory> sopadj1: Does it appear when you hold the shift key during boot ?
[12:20] <sopadj1> rory, I need to try it wait a minute :)
[12:21] <rory> sopadj1: Also is the problem that it's booting straight into Ubuntu? Or straight into Windows?
[12:21] <corvo> rory: ok I'll give it a look, thanks
[12:21] <rory> corvo: Basically you want to pin the version of the "linux-generic" package, to whatever version is currently installed
[12:22] <corvo> rory: and still I'll get security updates and stuff? :P
[12:22] <rory> corvo: yes, it will only prevent the linux-generic package from being updated. All other packages will continue to be updated
[12:23] <rory> corvo: Although I guess if it turned out there was some critical kernel vulnerability, it would mean that you wouldn't get that update
[12:23] <rory> corvo: But I guess you know/accept that, as it is by definition the case
[12:24] <corvo> rory: well, unfortunately I have to, cuz some developer decided not to support my hardware anymore :)
[12:25] <rory> Maybe we can solve that problem
[12:25] <corvo> rory: found it, so I just pin "lock version" in the package menu, but which one/s? the generic only?
[12:25] <rory> corvo: Yeah cos the generic one is a metapackage which depends on the actual packages. If you want to be safe you could pin any likely-looking ones
[12:26] <corvo> rory: yeah maybe one day, but now I need a working system too much so I can't risk it at the moment, maybe some other time, thanks for the offer anyway :)
[12:26] <rory> Lunchtime for me now anyway
[12:26] <sopadj1> rory, straight into windows
[12:26] <corvo> rory: woo, lunch time :)
[12:27] <corvo> rory: sorry, last thing, image or headers?
[12:27] <corvo> ?huh?
[12:27] <sopadj1> rory, I am finishing a task and I will try the trick of holding shift...I doubt it will fix the problem...I have also to look into the bios to disable the fast boot
[12:27] <qqqqq> Does anybody know a file explorer under Kubuntu 15.10 which tells me whether it is the identical file that I am going to overwrite or not when copying into a folder? Dolphin only tells me that it is the same name.
[12:28] <rory> sopadj1: If it's going straight into Windows that means either (a) Grub isn't being invoked at all, or (b) Windows is the first boot option, and the display timeout is set very low
[12:28] <rory> sopadj1: Probably (a), so do you have more than one hard drive?
[12:28] <rory> sopadj1: You need to make sure you're booting from the drive that Grub was installed to
[12:28] <rory> corvo: Both I guess. I don't know much about kernel packaging unfortunately
[12:28] <corvo> cool
[12:28] <corvo> thanks, bye
[12:28] <rory> corvo: No harm in pinning too many, if you genuinely don't want them to be updated
[12:29] <corvo> yep
[12:29]  * rory is AFK
[12:34] <kk_drop> is it possible to add time ($command) to every command that I'm running in terminal?
[12:36] <ezekiel_> how can i install virtualbox in ubuntu. after i downloaded the package from official site. i cant install it's says that some of the depencies where not installed

[12:54] <zzarr> some nice reading http://www.forbes.com/sites/janakirammsv/2016/01/12/10-reasons-why-ubuntu-is-killing-it-in-the-cloud/?utm_source=GooglePlus&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Forbes10Reasons#2715e4857a0bc2a7b319a2fc about the success of Ubuntu :-D
[12:59] <zzarr> is there any official number for how many Ubuntu installations there are?
[13:01] <cfhowlett> zzarr, nope.
[13:01] <zzarr> okey, any estimate?
[13:01] <cfhowlett> it's a divide by zero issue i.e. "uncountable"
[13:02] <cfhowlett> distrowatch said millions, canoncial says billions ...
[13:02] <zzarr> I see, really billions?
[13:02] <cfhowlett> so they say
[13:03] <zzarr> that would make Ubuntu more common then Windows
[13:03] <cfhowlett> blog.dustinkirkland.com/2015/12/more-people-use-ubuntu-than-anyone.html
[13:05] <zzarr> cfhowlett, thank you, I'll have a look at that page
[13:05] <cfhowlett> happy2help! zzarr
[13:05] <zzarr> :-D
[13:06] <rory> zzarr: A lot of installations are cloud-y and ephemeral. They exist temporarily and are complete duplicates of each other
[13:06] <rory> zzarr: That's why it's not possible to know for sure, above industry estimates
[13:08] <FenrisLap> got disonnected :S
[13:08] <FenrisLap> anyhow, i hve read a lot of aticles so far, and currently i have 8GB SSD comes with this lptop it is used for boot only for now
[13:08] <zzarr> rory, thanks for clarifying that
[13:08] <FenrisLap> can someone point an article for me or something
[13:09] <cfhowlett> FenrisLap, no idea what your end goal is
[13:09] <FenrisLap> i want to use the SSD as the /root for linux
[13:09] <FenrisLap> due to its small space
[13:09] <FenrisLap> but i am afrid tht this *might* ruine the drive
[13:09] <cfhowlett> FenrisLap, lubuntu or xubuntu would be better ... smaller footrpint
[13:10] <cfhowlett> and no reason why either would ruin the drive ... why should they?
[13:11] <FenrisLap> cfhowlett: i have read due to the multi read-write on SSD this shortens the lifetime of the drive
[13:11] <cfhowlett> FenrisLap, then don't use it.
[13:11] <zzarr> cfhowlett, it was a nice article, I like that last line (that is what Ubuntu means)
[13:11] <cfhowlett> zzarr, please quote.  I know of the article but can't read it because China Firewall
[13:12] <FenrisLap> cfhowlett: do u use the SSD as main drive, if i may ask you?
[13:12] <qqqqq> What is the difference between sudo gparted and visudo  what which one should I use?
[13:12] <cfhowlett> FenrisLap, I do.
[13:12] <qqqqq> for graphical programs that require root privs
[13:12] <FenrisLap> thax cfhowlett
[13:12] <cfhowlett> FenrisLap, that said, drives do fail at unpredictable (i.e. the WORST) time.  backup your backup
[13:12] <rwp> sudo launches programs as root
[13:13] <rwp> visudo edits programs as root
[13:13] <zzarr> cfhowlett, "Because of who we all are.", it's a part of what the word Ubuntu means
[13:13] <Mia> hey all - I use apachebenct to benchmark my server connections normally
[13:13] <Mia> right now I have a game sever running on my machine
[13:13] <cfhowlett> qqqqq, gksudo launches gui programs as root
[13:13] <Mia> how can I benchmark it using apachebenct?
[13:13] <rwp> *editing a file / not editing programs, sorry
[13:13] <Mia> it's not http i believe
[13:13] <ikonia> visudo edits teh sudoers file
[13:13] <ikonia> nothing else
[13:13] <Mia> (sorry I'm kind of new)
[13:14] <qqqqq> cfhowlett, so sudo programname and gksudo are the same. Then why an extra command?
[13:14] <qqqqq> rwp, thx
[13:14] <cfhowlett> qqqqq, not the same.  see the man pages.
[13:14] <zzarr> cfhowlett, "I am what I am because of who we all are", that's a quote from ubuntu.com
[13:14] <cfhowlett> zzarr, right.  ice.
[13:14] <cfhowlett> Nice
[13:14] <zzarr> :-D
[13:15] <zzarr> I like that quote, it's so true
[13:15] <cfhowlett> we try
[13:16] <zzarr> yes, we do
[13:16] <qqqqq> cfhowlett, I read the man page for gksudo. I don't see a benefit if I am already in Gnome or KDE
[13:18] <Mia> Where can I get some hlep about apachebench?
[13:18] <cfhowlett> Mia, #apache        ?
[13:18] <cfhowlett> or #networking
[13:19] <Mia> thanks chowlett
[13:19] <Mia> cfhowlett, I mean, sorry :)
[13:19] <cfhowlett> eh?  no harm done.
[13:25] <mcphail> qqqqq: running a graphical program with sudo can cause a bug where important files (such as ~/.Xauthority") can becom owned by root. this can prevent you from logging back in to your machine
[13:26] <zzarr> I will buy a Intel Edison and run Ubilinux on it (it sounds like Ubuntu linux almost)
[13:27] <qqqqq> mcphail, is it safe to say that kgsudo is for Gnome and kdesudo is for KDE?
[13:27] <qqqqq> gksudo
[13:28] <BluesKaj> qqqqq, yes
[13:29] <mcphail> qqqqq: I'd imagine the differences would be purely aesthetic
[13:29] <qqqqq> BluesKaj,
[13:29] <qqqqq> thx
[13:29] <qqqqq> to both
[13:31] <BluesKaj> one needs kde for kdesudo I imagine and gtk/gnome for gksudo..correct me if I'm wrong
[13:31] <qqqqq> also found this just now: https://superuser.com/questions/202676/sudo-vs-gksudo-difference
[13:31] <qqqqq> Running GUI program is NOT the only situation when you should use gk/kdesudo, instead you should use gk/kdesudo whenever you can't determine whether the command will create/write files to your home directory (which the HOME environment variable points to in the sudo command in some system and situations). Not all GUI apps writes to your home directory and not all CLI apps don't, so the type of command isn't the key point.
[13:32] <qqqqq> You still can use sudo command to launch GUI apps as root (for viewing apps' console output as an example), however you need to handle HOME (and others such as XAUTHORITY, DISPLAY, input-method-related-stuff, etc.) environmental variables correctly so that the launched app won't fail, lose functionality or do really-bad stuff. The following is my current recommendation for using sudo
[13:32] <qqqqq>     sudo -H <rest of the command>
[13:33] <BluesKaj> but as a general rule use gksudo for gui and sudo for the terminal
[13:33] <BluesKaj> terminal apps that is
[13:37] <qqqqq> BluesKaj, I guess so.
[13:39] <qqqqq> Is there a way to find command to a particular task I am interested in? I would read and try out more commands but I do I know they even exist? Lets say I wanted to work related to disk and file systems. If I am not a certified Linux engineer is there a way to find an overview of commands that could be useful?
[13:39] <cfhowlett> qqqqq, there is a linux cheat sheet and an ubuntu cheat sheet
[13:40] <cfhowlett> http://fosswire.com/post/2007/08/unixlinux-command-cheat-sheet/
[13:40] <qqqqq> cfhowlett, but nothing in the installation can could aid?
[13:41] <cfhowlett> man pages.
[13:41] <cfhowlett> especially the "see also" commands
[13:41] <qqqqq> cfhowlett, yes but how do I show only filesystem commands ?
[13:41] <cfhowlett> no way I know of.
[13:41] <qqqqq> OK

[14:08] <geirha> "the service"? there are more than one service ...
[14:10] <CColombo> sorry bad spelling, I mean

[14:25] <intothev01d> this may not be the place to ask but i have a question regarding environment variables with scripts. i have a script i want to run several instances of but each would need different values (like api keys) from the environment variables. what would be the best way to set something like that up?
[14:31] <CColombo> thanks a lot geirha
[14:33] <bluefive> My headphone jack is dead silent but as soon as I turn up the volume
[14:33] <bluefive> I get a hiss sound.
[14:33] <bluefive> Is this Ubuntu's doing?
[14:33] <bluefive> When I plug my headphones into my MS Surface and turn up the volume it remains dead silent.
[14:39] <enex> bluefive, so let me get this straight, you have a headset, regular analogue one, and you hear nothing when you connect it to your computer (running Ubuntu)
[14:39] <enex> and when you plug it into aforementioned MS Surface (tablet?), it does absolutely nothing
[14:39] <enex> only thing that happens is when it is plugged into your computer and you turn the volume to the max
[14:39] <enex> that hissing sound
[15:01] <zippo^> what can I do:
[15:01] <zippo^>  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=4096k
[15:01] <zippo^> oeps
[15:01] <zippo^> sorry
[15:02] <zippo^> Can't open /dev/sdb1: No such file or directory
[15:02] <zippo^> Cannot initialize '::'
[15:02] <zippo^> mlabel: Cannot initialize drive
[15:05] <hateball> zippo^: What are you trying to do? You need sudo if you are going to zero a block device
[15:19] <zippo^> I think that extern HDD is broken, hateball
[15:22] <BluesKaj> zippo^, are there other partitions on /dev/sdb ?
[15:25] <ash_workz> how much memory is typically allocated to whatever is mounted on /boot ?
[15:26] <ash_workz> I've got (apparently) 237M and I'm always running out of space for updates
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> ash_workz  using ubuntu?
[15:26] <ash_workz> MonkeyDust: yeah
[15:27] <zykotick9> ash_workz: do you need a separate /boot?  i do, but my /boot is about the same size as yours 236M (used 33M)
[15:29] <ash_workz> zykotick9: this is just a product of going through the setup process... I don't know if that was needed or not, but it might be a good idea if this is the result to one of the questions asked during setup (5 months ago) because I was pretty careful about the manner in which I proceeded...
[15:29] <ash_workz> That being said I do have 12 kernels on here
[15:29] <ash_workz> is it the norm for people to be constantly removing images?
[15:30] <ash_workz> zykotick9: do you not run out of space all the time?
[15:30] <zippo^> no idea, BluesKaj :S
[15:30] <zykotick9> ash_workz: no.  but i don't keep 12 kernels on it!
[15:30] <_arktos_> sudo apt-get autoremove <-- after update / removes old kernels
[15:30] <H3ruS> how can i create a new image to raspberry py
[15:30] <joan_> using qdbus, I need to get what dir(s) is dolphin currently. How it's done?
[15:30] <H3ruS> i want to setup ssh on image sdcard
[15:31] <ash_workz> _arktos_: I heard it was good to keep like 1 or 2 older ones... is there any truth to that?
[15:31] <BluesKaj> ash_workz, autoremove and autoclean are your friends
[15:31] <zykotick9> ash_workz: my "point" is /boot isn't really required in MOST circumstances.  if you use LVM/encryptedLVM/RAID you might, but in most cases - it's easier NOT to have a separate /boot.  best of luck.
[15:32] <crossgrade> Hi. What is the ubuntu way to move from i686 to x86_64? I'm on 15.10
[15:32] <BluesKaj> zippo^, check with the partition editor in the kmenu
[15:32] <ash_workz> zykotick9: yes, I did opt for it to be encrypted
[15:32] <ash_workz> zykotick9: thanks
[15:32] <_arktos_> if you are using newer Hardware , like skylake, i recomend it . If its an pld box, dont bother ... my oppinion
[15:32] <BluesKaj> in your start menu rather , zippo^ ,gparted
[15:33] <zykotick9> ash_workz: ahhh, well you need /boot separate then.  see the autoclearn/autoremove suggestions above ;)
[15:33] <npm> SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?? -> isc-dhcp-client isc-dhcp-common just updated, on install and again for dpkg-reconfigure, I got warning: "Warning from /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.dhclient (/etc/apparmor.d/sbin.dhclient line 85): profile /sbin/dhclient network rules not enforced" (also same warning for "/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action" and "/usr/lib/connman/scripts/dhclient-script" )
[15:33] <ash_workz> is autoremove a setting or a command?
[15:34] <zykotick9> ash_workz: "sudo apt-get autoremove"
[15:34] <BluesKaj> sudo apt-get autoremove , in the terminal,
[15:34] <npm> my laptop, which is a clone of this system but running stock kernel (above error from skylake 14.04LTS system running 4.3.0-040300-generic)
[15:34] <IdleOne> ash_workz: it is a command

[15:36] <nemo> So... I've been commenting on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vmware-view-client/+bug/1268770  which impacts me at my job a fair amount... Now I pretty much have it worked around, despite debian/ubuntu yanking the package I need, and the lack of the backported opensc upstream fixes, but, I have a general annoying issue where ubuntu keeps nagging me to update my opensc.  "Installed version: 0.13.0-3u
[15:37] <rmariotti_> hi, i'm having trubles with audio. I can hear sound from the speakers but not from the headphones jack. I probably messed up something because everything worked fine until i played with pvaucontrol. The channel in alsamixer are not muted.
[15:37] <nemo> buntu4.1 Available version: 0.13.0-3ubuntu4.1"  WTF?  If I allow the update it ofc clobbers my fix to the lib, and I then have to reinstall my fixed .deb
[15:37] <nemo> rmariotti_: I've found the pulseaudio channel here on freenode to be super helpful w/ stuff like that
[15:37] <ash_workz> okay, I did both and `dpkg --list | grep linux-image | wc -l` is 13 (I guess I counted wrong by hand)
[15:38] <nemo> rmariotti_: even though, yeah, you probably just need to go to inputs in pavucontrol and unmute headphones
[15:38] <nemo> rmariotti_: for example they helped me enable a combined channel of headphones + digital
[15:38] <_arktos_> npm the error is from the skylake machine ?
[15:38] <zykotick9> ash_workz: i think that autoremove of kernels is only in "newer" ubuntu version, what version are you using?
[15:38] <ash_workz> I thought there would be a setting in aptitude that would allow you to manage how many kernels you want to keep...?
[15:39] <nemo> So... WRT the package thing - I'd like to know if there's something I can do to make ubuntu stop trying to update me to the exact same version # of the package I have.
[15:39] <npm> _arktos_: yes
[15:39] <ash_workz> zykotick9: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
[15:39] <zykotick9> ash_workz: i'd guess it applies to that... dunno.  best of luck - you can alway manually remove them (just be careful) ;)
[15:40] <rmariotti_> nemo: i checked, headphones in pvaucontrol aren't muted. Do you know how to erase pulseaudio config?
[15:40] <ash_workz> zykotick9: yeah, this I have had to do in the past
[15:40] <nemo> rmariotti_: the other possibility is you selected as sound source in your audio app, or even the default, as being speakers only
[15:40] <ash_workz> like, isn't there a file you can edit that does updates automatically?
[15:41] <nemo> rmariotti_: and no, don't know offhand where that would be but again #pulseaudio was super helpful last time
[15:41] <npm> _arktos_: the desktop is a recent disk-clone of my 14.04LTS  laptop. desktop is skylake running  4.3.0-040300-generic #201511020949 . laptop running 3.13.0-74-generic #118-Ubuntu .
[15:41] <Pici> /36/50
[15:41] <ash_workz> in said file, is it possible to remove kernels? or is there a file with similar functionality?
[15:42] <sergiu> This linux is so stuipid
[15:43] <sergiu> stupid
[15:43] <sergiu> its just for advanced users, not for normal peopels
[15:43] <sergiu> I just burned usb imagine with winUSB, and now, i cant do this again becouse i got
[15:43] <sergiu> nstallation failed !
[15:43] <sergiu> Exit code: 512
[15:43] <sergiu> Log:
[15:43] <sergiu> Formating device...
[15:43] <sergiu> BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy
[15:43] <_arktos_> npm laptop is what chip ? Haswell !?
[15:44] <npm> _arktos_: i do not recall messing with any of the apparmor settings, or much else on the desktop system. nonetheless got a long list of warnings from that dhcp update: "Warning from profile /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action (/etc/apparmor.d/sbin.dhclient) dbus rules not enforced" "Warning from profile /usr/lib/connman/scripts/dhclient-script (/etc/apparmor.d/sbin.dhclient) dbus rules not enforced" etc
[15:44] <npm> _arktos_: might be older i7 mobile than haswell.
[15:45] <New_To_Ubuntu> Need help! Ubuntu is not booting!
[15:45] <New_To_Ubuntu> Anyone?
[15:46] <zykotick9> New_To_Ubuntu: try providing more detail (all on one line)
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> New_To_Ubuntu  'not booting' is a bit vague ... what are the symptoms
[15:46] <npm> _arktos_: "Intel Core i7 4700HQ"
[15:46] <nemo> sergiu: winUSB sounds like a windows thing, not an ubuntu thing
[15:46] <nemo> so I have no idea why you are here
[15:47] <ash_workz> does anyone have an opinion on /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove for my predicament?
[15:47] <New_To_Ubuntu> Not booting a live USB nor a live CD but running GRUB2
[15:47] <sergiu> this linux is very poor
[15:47] <nemo> sergiu: if it is because you are trying to burn an ubuntu image under *windows* and running into problems, that really has nothing at all to do with ubuntu
[15:47] <nemo> sergiu: there are easier ways to try out ubuntu if you are finding windows USB utilities to be too complex
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> New_To_Ubuntu  did you copy or install the iso on the dvd/usb?
[15:48] <_arktos_> npm i think ur problem is simple : i think u can not clone an install , put it on another Machine/chipset , do an kernel update and expect it to work..... since skylake is not supported in any ubuntu distro yet .....  16.04 maybe .... try a clean 15.10 install on skylake and update to latest kernel!
[15:48] <sergiu> its so hard for one program in linux to make bootable usb imagine?
[15:48] <sergiu> this programs are alot in windowssssssss
[15:48] <New_To_Ubuntu> Actually I had just Linux on my laptop but I upgraded from 14.04 LTS to 15
[15:48] <nemo> sergiu: if you are indeed under ubuntu and want to make a bootable USB
[15:48] <nemo> sergiu: system → administration → startup disc creator
[15:48] <nemo> use that
[15:49] <sergiu> i can do it with terminal
[15:49] <nemo> it has a nice wizard
[15:49] <New_To_Ubuntu> Ok
[15:49] <ash_workz> nemo: how did you get arrows like that?
[15:49] <gordonjcp> ash_workz: unicode :-D
[15:49] <nemo> ash_workz: XCompose FTW!
[15:49] <nemo> ash_workz: ♥ XCompose
[15:50] <nemo> ash_workz: I bind my compose key in MATE to the otherwise-totally-useless-capslock
[15:50]  * sergiu think to crash the pc of floor
[15:50] <New_To_Ubuntu>  But can I do something with GRUB to access iso file of 14.04 LTS from my hd?
[15:50] <ash_workz> gordonjcp: you just memorize the unicode? o.O;
[15:50] <nemo> ash_workz: XCompose gives you digraphs
[15:50] <gordonjcp> ash_workz: I actually do for some things
[15:50] <nemo> ash_workz: like for ☺  you type compose + :)
[15:50] <npm> _arktos_: it's been working beautifully for me. i'm not a noob. but that update warning was weird. looks like a bug to me.
[15:50] <nemo> ash_workz: or for ♥ you type compose + <3
[15:51] <ash_workz> in.te.res.ting
[15:51] <nemo> ash_workz: if you are using a GTK window manager, stupid GTK hardcodes a boring set of default digraphs, but you can specify an env var to get XCompose back, then you can make up your own like ಠ_ಠ or щ(ಠ益ಠщ) or 😎
[15:51] <ash_workz> also, fish is interesting... but that's pretty ot
[15:51] <sergiu> nemo_ i think this is the problem : ru_windows_8.1_pro_vl_with_update_x64_dvd_6050899.iso is write-protected, mounting read-only
[15:51] <sergiu> How to make this file to not be write protected?
[15:51] <sergiu> And how that file can be write protected?
[15:51] <gordonjcp> ash_workz: like I find myself typing μ a lot talking about tiny currents and large capacitances
[15:52] <nemo> sergiu: oh... you're trying to edit an iso
[15:52] <gordonjcp> ash_workz: and temperature in °C
[15:52] <ash_workz> gordonjcp: I am coming off windows, so I only know the alt codes for those
[15:52] <sergiu> nemo i use WinUSB from linux, select the .iso that downloaded from net and the destination usb stick, and got this error
[15:53] <nemo> sergiu: uh...
[15:53] <sergiu> 1 hour ago i had done the same with other copy of .iso, and it was succesful
[15:53] <akik> sergiu: iso files by definition are read only
[15:53] <snypzzx> looking for help installing ubuntu on CHUWI Hi8...?
[15:53] <gordonjcp> ash_workz: I've not used Windows, but presumably that's similar
[15:54] <sergiu> i think i must go to friend to burn .iso becouise linux cant do this
[15:54] <snypzzx> would like to have clean install of ubuntu on CHUWI Hi8...
[15:54] <snypzzx> anyone out there that can help me...?
[15:55] <gordonjcp> sergiu: are you trying to write to the .iso file?
[15:55] <gordonjcp> sergiu: because that's not going to end well
[15:56] <snypzzx> no not writing an ISO
[15:56] <sergiu> =]
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> !tablet | snypzzx
[15:57] <sergiu> gordonjcp I'am trying to make bootable WINDOWS with program WinUSB, it says no permission
[15:57] <ash_workz> gordonjcp: hardly :P I made a chart that might interesting you, should I PM you the link?
[15:57] <snypzzx> are you using Unetbootin
[15:57] <bazhang> !winusb
[15:58] <snypzzx> to make bootable USB
[15:58] <sergiu> No
[15:58] <ash_workz> ubottu's definition could be spell checked
[15:58] <docmur> if I have a luks volume i want to mount at boot, I know how to do it via crypttab, but then I have to enter a password during boot, is there a way to get it to mount without using a password?
[15:58] <bazhang> sergiu, read above
[15:58] <bazhang> sergiu, winusb support is Not here
[15:58] <sergiu> ok
[15:58] <sergiu> winusb is fucking lame
[15:58] <ash_workz> what a caddy response :P
[15:58] <bazhang> ##windows sergiu
[15:58] <sergiu> i will not touch it anymore
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> bazhang  the winusb link is dead, factoid needs an update
[15:59] <bazhang> even better
[15:59] <sergiu> thanks for saying that winusb is broken
[15:59] <sergiu>  i will not suffer anymore
[15:59] <gordonjcp> you mean people don't just use dd to copy the image to a USB stick?
[15:59] <ash_workz> seriously though, someone should correct "Instalation"
[16:00] <ash_workz> can I do it? how do you do it?
[16:00] <vinicius> olá tem alguem por aqui
[16:00] <ash_workz> ubottu how do I update you?
[16:00] <vinicius> alguem pode me ajudar

[16:00] <ash_workz> ubottu !definitions
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> !br
[16:01] <sergiu> Unetbootin is just for linux distributions.
[16:03] <Pici> ash_workz: just tell the bot the new thing: i.e. /msg ubottu no winusb is <reply> something else      and the ops will get a message to approve it.
[16:04] <ash_workz> Pici: ah
[16:04] <ash_workz> Pici: I was looking for documentation on that
[16:04] <ash_workz> couldn't find it
[16:04] <akik> sergiu: are you in windows? try to create the usb stick with rufus (https://rufus.akeo.ie/)
[16:04] <Pici> ash_workz: I think the bot documentation got lost in a server move :/
[16:05] <sergiu> fROm linux

[16:07] <ash_workz> eldiablo: apache problem?
[16:07] <sergiu> ;DD
[16:08] <ash_workz> eldiablo: check #httpd
[16:08] <_arktos_> eldiablo trying to set up apache ?
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> sergiu  you can also use duckduckgo
[16:08] <sergiu> Can someone connect to my PC and try to see how much strange linux is
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> sergiu  what's strange about linux?
[16:09] <ash_workz> MonkeyDust: I would not have asked that question if I were you :P
[16:09] <sergiu> MONKEY, its possible to make bootable usb windows on flash with "DD" program?
[16:09] <mastahh|work> Has anyone utilised Heartbeat in a production environment before to configure two servers as a HA pair?
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> sergiu  i'm not familiar with windows
[16:10] <sergiu> :D
[16:10] <sergiu> probaly not
[16:10] <npm> _arktos_: interestingly the laptop that doesn't issue the warning seems to be using a different apparmor profile="unconfined" -- missing from the desktop /var/log messages: "/var/log/kern.log:Jan 13 07:25:58 gnuvelle kernel: [148050.634885] type=1400 audit(1452698758.469:61): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" profile="unconfined" name="/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action" pid=22128 comm="apparmor_parser""
[16:10] <SaturnMir> What does chmod do?
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> sergiu  its not linux that's strange, what you want to do is strange
[16:10] <sergiu> ok, i will try to do
[16:10] <Pici> mastahh|work: You may want to try #ubuntu-server for that
[16:11] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: changes permissions for a file or directory
[16:11] <mastahh|work> thanks Pici!
[16:11] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: afaik, it stands for change mode
[16:11] <SaturnMir> Ah cheers. What does the +x flag do versus 777 or 7xx
[16:12] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: +x just makes a file executable
[16:12] <SaturnMir> Ah ok. Cheers
[16:12] <rahuldev> if I dual boot my laptop will there be performance issue?
[16:12] <SaturnMir> So it is equiv to 777? Or 70p?
[16:12] <SaturnMir> 700?**
[16:12] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: erm
[16:12] <arcsky> hi guys im try to to get my linux ubuntu machines to get a option 119 (dns search) but it doesnt work well
[16:12] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: the octet sets permissions for all groups
[16:13] <somsip> !permissions | SaturnMir
[16:13] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: ^
[16:13] <mcphail> rahuldev: no, dual booting has no performance penalty
[16:13] <rahuldev> mcphail, thanks
[16:15] <docmur> Is there a way to carry out a command after a SSH tunnel estabilishes?
[16:15] <MonkeyDust> docmur  ssh -Y user@ip_address "your command here"   <-- with quotes
[16:15] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: +w or -w without specifying the users will add/remove write permissions for everyone... users, group and other
[16:16] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: since that is the case, the effect of +w on the octet will depend on the other settings of the file
[16:16] <SaturnMir> Ah I see. Thanks
[16:16] <docmur> Sorry I asked the wrong question, how can I get the my system to automatically carry a command once the tunnel is open?  As in the once the tunnel establishes, it can send a ping to the other side of the tunnel
[16:17] <eldiablo> yes trying to setup _arktos_ im not very much experience in ubuntu, what should i do to set the servername?
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> docmur  i don't know the exact syntax, but you can add a line to ~.
[16:17] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: effectively, I believe, +w will add 2 to all digits of the octet
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> oops
[16:18] <lerner> I have broken packages. what do I do?
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> docmur  i don't know the exact syntax, but you can add a line to ~/.profile  ... like   if [ssh detected] then [dp something]
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> do*
[16:18] <sergiu> i wanted to do today something to exit in town, but this lmao programs make me cry in linux
[16:18] <sergiu> need to stay
[16:18] <sergiu> to accept
[16:19] <sergiu> that day is lost
[16:19] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: actually that only true given that w is not already set
[16:19] <docmur> kk
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> lerner  I picked this up in this channel ... save it as 'fixpackages' ... make executable with 'chmod +x fixpackages' ... then run it with './fixpackages' ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/14457055/
[16:20] <ash_workz> SaturnMir: a better definition would be "+w will add 2 to every digit of an octet whose value is one of 0, 1, 4 or 5
[16:20] <ash_workz> "
[16:20] <lerner> o, thanks mone
[16:20] <lerner> MonkeyDust,
[16:21] <arunpyasi> hello guys, is there any problem with the latest update in 15.04 ? my PC stucks to boot after that.. I can only open PC with upstart mode.
[16:21] <sergiu> Its possible to say that: linux dont have viruses, but have a lot of bugs
[16:21] <arunpyasi> please help
[16:21] <sergiu> Bugs are not so dangerous like viruses, but they are a lot
[16:21] <lotuspsychje> !discuss | sergiu
[16:22] <lotuspsychje> arunpyasi: 15.04 will be eol soon, try another ubuntu version perhaps?
[16:22] <FedoraUser> hi friends
[16:22] <sergiu> arunpyasi, i just done in terminal sudo dd if=/home/sergiu/Downloads/ru_windows_8.1_pro_vl_with_update_x64_dvd_6050899.iso of=/dev/sdb

[16:22] <sergiu> And i want, nothing happening
[16:22] <FedoraUser> I want to setup GFS2 on 14.04, but I cannot find any guides online
[16:22] <sergiu> i wait*
[16:23] <ash_workz> nobody has any opinion about /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove ?
[16:23] <FedoraUser> all guides for GFS2 that I can find are for 12.04 but 14.04 doesn't have cman package
[16:24] <sergiu> The problems of linux is in that that programs are corelated with system itself, not dependend
[16:24] <sergiu> they dont work as independent source
[16:24] <lotuspsychje> sergiu: please stop that
[16:25] <lotuspsychje> sergiu: focus on your ubuntu issue, instead of spamming random linux quotes
[16:25] <arunpyasi> sergiu: oops, sorry, I mean 15.10
[16:25] <arunpyasi> my 15.10 PC boot crashed
[16:25] <lotuspsychje> arunpyasi: what kind of graphics card do you have?
[16:25] <arunpyasi> and stucks in starting GNOME DISPLAY MANAGER...
[16:25] <arunpyasi> lotuspsychje: Intel
[16:26] <TJ-> !info glusterfs-server | FedoraUser you know GFS is packaged in 14.04 ?
[16:26] <lotuspsychje> arunpyasi: what kind of intel chipset
[16:26] <sergiu> ok who can help ME WITH THAT
[16:26] <FedoraUser> TJ-, glusterfs =/= GFS2
[16:26] <sergiu> HOW TO RUN PROGRAM "dd" WITH EXPLICATION what he is doing? how much information "DD" copied??
[16:26] <ash_workz> MonkeyDust: does apt-get autoremove remove images for you?
[16:27] <chrisss123456> spotify is starting to crash more and more, with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" being the readout on terminal. is anyone else having this problem?
[16:27] <ash_workz> anyone here have apt-get autoremove remove images for them?
[16:27] <TJ-> FedoraUser: ah, clash of acronyms
[16:27] <ash_workz> linux-images*
[16:27] <sergiu> Windows is intuitive, windows are clouds..
[16:28] <FedoraUser> TJ-, no worries :)
[16:28] <bshacklett> Is anyone here doing oautomated installs in a VMware environment? I'm looking at the tools that are out there (Cobbler, Razor, Terraform, etc.), but most seem geared towards bare metal, and Terraform doesn't seem to have good support for VMware yet.
[16:28] <lotuspsychje> sergiu: stop doing that
[16:28] <sergiu> lotuspsychje: how to run dd with explications?
[16:28] <lotuspsychje> chrisss123456: ask the maintainer of spotify please, we cant support ppa's here
[16:28] <sergiu> ;D
[16:28] <Gallomimia> sergiu: byte for byte. all of it
[16:29] <TJ-> !info gfs2-utils | FedoraUser: 14.04 kernels also have the gfs2 kernel module. Is that enough?
[16:29] <sergiu> i will use wine , and then some Program from Windows , this is good solution
[16:30] <sergiu> Linux is good operating system, but when you need production ,its hell
[16:30] <chrisss123456> lotuspsychje: Thanks. whats the best way to ask directly?
[16:30] <FedoraUser> TJ-, afaics host must be aware of the cluster so it can properly do file-locking
[16:30] <Gallomimia> sergiu i agree it's not quite what i hoped for but it's still a great thing!
[16:31] <lotuspsychje> chrisss123456: fine an email or launchpad on their site to contact perhaps
[16:31] <lotuspsychje> find
[16:31] <FedoraUser> TJ-, I am not completely sure though, that is why I am looking for a guide or documentation...
[16:31] <chrisss123456> lotuspsychje: will do. thanks!
[16:31] <Gallomimia> sergiu: why are you trying to use dd? it can be very dangerous!
[16:32] <sergiu> Dangerous, i cant wait, he dont display how much he proccesed
[16:32] <sergiu> this is annoying
[16:32] <Gallomimia> you will wait, or you will start over
[16:33] <Gallomimia> and yes. no progress meter very hard
[16:33] <lotuspsychje> bshacklett: maybe youl find your answers @ #vmware ?
[16:33] <sergiu> useless thing on linux to do - you are welcomed
[16:34] <sergiu> my plans was to burn fast imagine and to watch Live broadcast from net
[16:34] <sergiu> but now, i must stay with DD
[16:34] <sergiu> beecouse winUsb can do anything
[16:35] <lotuspsychje> !ops | sergiu random linux chitchat
[16:35] <Gallomimia> dd can do anythng
[16:36] <bshacklett> lotuspsychje: I'll definitely check there. Thanks.
[16:36] <TJ-> FedoraUser: according to my research, at the Saucy (13.10) release "Deleted in saucy-release on 2015-04-28 (Reason: Upstream dead, unsupportable. Useful content moved elsewh...) "
[16:37] <Gallomimia> sergiu: i noticed you speak english as a second language. perhaps one of the other language speaking help channels would be more helpful to you?
[16:38] <FedoraUser> TJ-, I am new to this and reading documentation for centos doesn't help when the tools are missing :)
[16:38] <sergiu> i liked everything in linux, exception is only WInUSB
[16:39] <sergiu> how some operating system cant perform such needed tasks
[16:39] <FedoraUser> TJ-, I just wanted to see if there is any ubuntu-related-web-searching-gurus present for any guide :)
[16:39] <TJ-> FedoraUser: right. Seems that 14.04 doesn't have 'cman' (RedHat Cluster Manager) due to a 'dead' upstream project (Ubuntu wouldn't want to be lumbered with the support in the 14.04 Trusty Long Term Release)
[16:39] <FedoraUser> TJ-, interesting, CentOS has that tool... it is also LTS... oh well, back to the drawing board :0
[16:39] <FedoraUser> * :)
[16:39] <TJ-> FedoraUser: It should be possible to pull in the cman source-code package from 13.10 Saucy and build it on the 14.04 Trusty host
[16:40] <matclayton> are there any known issues with 14.04 and Samsung 850 EVO SSD’s, we’re seeing very low (1k) iop’s on brand new drives on multiple machiens
[16:40] <FedoraUser> TJ-, or for us uneducated people... I can try installing .apk directly :)
[16:40] <lotuspsychje> matclayton: did you do the firmware update?
[16:41] <TJ-> FedoraUser: 'apk' ? Android package?
[16:41] <Gallomimia> sergiu: for example, no idea what means explications
[16:41] <matclayton> lotuspsychje: not yet, they are about 2 months old, and samsung dont make it easy to find out if they need it!
[16:41] <lovelinux> hello every body
[16:41] <FedoraUser> TJ-, wow, sorry, confused, meant to say .deb
[16:41] <TJ-> FedoraUser: colour me confused too :D
[16:41] <lotuspsychje> matclayton: oh sorry its the 840 evo that needs firmware, define 'slow'?
[16:42] <matclayton> lotuspsychje: so the throughput is good 500MB/s but the iops seems very low
[16:42] <TJ-> FedoraUser: If the .deb from Saucy will work that's fine; but sometimes the dependencies it declares may require updates to the installed packages. If that were the case a source-build (with appropriate modifcations) is the usual solution (or search for a PPA containing cman for 14.04)
[16:42] <lotuspsychje> matclayton: maybe ask in ##hardware if thats a know issue?
[16:43] <matclayton> I have a pro machine which can’t seem to go above 1k iop’s measured via iostat, and an identical blank slate machine, which running bonnie++ also tops out at 950 iop’s
[16:43] <matclayton> *pro -> prod
[16:43] <arunpyasi> lotuspsychje: its Intel Chipset
[16:43] <lotuspsychje> arunpyasi: sudo lshw -C video
[16:44] <FedoraUser> TJ-, this may pose significant issue, since I am trying to setup test environment that should later on be used as virtualization platform hosting hundreds of VMs... and I guess one update can break dependency from old package...
[16:44] <lovelinux> i have username and password from my isp and i am connected to isp network with my laptop wifi ,in fedora i use from pppoe-setup and enter my username and password and connect to internet by using pppoe-connect what should i do in ubuntu ?
[16:44] <sergiu> ok
[16:44] <sergiu> This dd
[16:45] <sergiu> i have to say is very slow
[16:45] <sergiu> i can write one hour or two
[16:45] <sergiu> very much
[16:45] <sergiu> haha
[16:45] <Pici> sergiu: While you're waiting, can you please not rant in this channel.  If you just want to chat about non-support things there is #ubuntu-offtopic.
[16:46] <TJ-> FedoraUser: I'd class that as unlikely in 14.04 since its rare to break versioning/dependencies especially in LTS releases; except if you upgrade the kernel and/or X stack from more recent releases
[16:46] <lovelinux> i have username and password from my isp and i am connected to isp network with my laptop wifi ,in fedora i use from pppoe-setup and enter my username and password and connect to internet by using pppoe-connect what should i do in ubuntu ?
[16:46] <FedoraUser> TJ-, yeah, I wouldn't bet my job on it :)
[16:47] <FedoraUser> TJ-, anyway, cman is not crucial to the setup, it is crucial to the old guides. official documentation uses pacemaker and corosync but with additional tool that is missing. that tool is supposed to automate writing .xml files... I may venture off to write them by hand
[16:48] <TJ-> FedoraUser: what's the tool that is missing? It could have moved to another package?
[16:48] <magnalatorta> ive got this error with apache2: AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
[16:48] <magnalatorta>     .    what can i do to set the servername correctly?
[16:48] <lotuspsychje_> magnalatorta: maybe the #httpd guys can help with that?
[16:49] <FedoraUser> TJ-, from this guide: http://clusterlabs.org/doc/en-US/Pacemaker/1.1-crmsh/html-single/Clusters_from_Scratch/index.html  the command is 'pcs'
[16:49] <magnalatorta> how do i contact them?
[16:50] <lotuspsychje> magnalatorta: type Join #httpd
[16:51] <lovelinux> i have username and password from my isp and i am connected to isp network with my laptop wifi ,in fedora i use from pppoe-setup and enter my username and password and connect to internet by using pppoe-connect what should i do in ubuntu ?
[16:51] <sergiu> You know guys what?
[16:51] <impi> heya
[16:52] <sergiu> When you loose the entusiasm to stay on google to search for solution, is time to remove ubuntu from hdd forever
[16:52] <FedoraUser> TJ-, I think I misunderstood it... it may be that it doesn't write xmls but that other tools can be used for such purpose... which are not explained :)
[16:52] <sergiu> i dont want to search on google
[16:52] <impi> anyone having trouble suspending on 14.04.3
[16:52] <sergiu> this os is too crappy
[16:52] <sergiu> Error: /dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label
[16:52] <impi> everytime i suspend my laptop, put it in my bag, hop on the bike, to get home with a cooking laptop.
[16:53] <impi> it's ridiculous
[16:53] <TJ-> FedoraUser: ahh; I don't find pcsd in any other package. Annoying!
[16:53] <FedoraUser> TJ-, not pcsd but 'pcs'
[16:53] <FedoraUser> TJ-, I think :)
[16:53] <lotuspsychje> impi: put the pc off while your not using it?
[16:54] <impi> i've been doing that but then i'd have to star everything up....my browser and all the tabs, im sure you can appreciate the benefits of suspending a laptop?
[16:54] <metame> having issue with audio on 15.10 in Chrome. audio works everywhere else
[16:54] <impi> so shutting is down is not an option.
[16:54] <sergiu> This programs in linux they work in relations with all details from linux, they dont stay as stand-lone to be able to work everytime
[16:55] <lovelinux> who is response?
[16:55] <lovelinux> i have username and password from my isp and i am connected to isp network with my laptop wifi ,in fedora i use from pppoe-setup and enter my username and password and connect to internet by using pppoe-connect what should i do in ubuntu ?
[16:55] <lotuspsychje> !patience | lovelinux
[16:55] <lotuspsychje> impi: ubuntu version?
[16:55] <impi> 14.04.3
[16:55] <impi> perfectly up to date running on a dell precision m3800
[16:56] <impi> thats why it's strange that it doesnt work
[16:56] <impi> maybe it's because i dont have swap?
[16:56] <TJ-> FedoraUser: I was hunting based on that article saying the pcsd (daemon service)
[16:56] <lotuspsychje> impi: check your syslog and dmesg
[16:56] <lotuspsychje> impi: and try laptop-mode-tools
[16:56] <FedoraUser> TJ-, oh ok, yeah, I forgot it had service part
[16:57] <impi> great, thanks! i was going to dig into it, but thought i'd ask here - maybe it's a frequent question
[16:57] <impi> thanks for the help lotuspsychje +1
[16:57] <TJ-> !info crmsh  trusty | FedoraUser That article suggests crmsh can be used as an alternative to pcs
[16:57] <FedoraUser> TJ-, ok, apparently there is crmsh in 14.04 which is good news, I just need to translate pcs commands in crmsh
[16:57] <FedoraUser> TJ-, yeah! that!
[16:58] <TJ-> FedoraUser: good luck :)
[16:58] <FedoraUser> TJ-, thank you for your help, I'll continue tomorrow on this subject :)
[16:58] <lotuspsychje> impi: tail -f /var/log/syslog and go suspending might spit out some usefull things also perhaps?
[17:01] <lovelinux> i found this link http://ubuntuguide.net/setting-up-pppoe-ubuntu-command but in pppoeconf i don`t know where can i enter my dns
[17:03] <iamnotgreg> I'm trying to open a port for a server that is running on my localhost so that it is accessible on my network. What do I need to do? My google skills are weak
[17:04] <lotuspsychje> iamnotgreg: try the #ubuntu-server or #netfilter guys
[17:04] <iamnotgreg> thanks
[17:04] <Jobbe> So I'm trying to do a make defconfig for the kernel in ubuntu - i get this error "Can't find default configuration arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig" - my working dir is: /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-74-generic
[17:04] <iamnotgreg> lotuspsychje: this is an ubuntu desktop...just has a server on it for my fax
[17:05] <Jobbe> I'm trying to configure the kernel so i can have a package compile a kernel module
[17:05] <Jobbe> This is an ubuntu 14.04 desktop machine btw
[17:05] <lotuspsychje> !kernel | Jobbe
[17:06] <impi> lotuspsychje,
[17:06] <impi> got it
[17:06] <impi> cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
[17:06] <impi> show you all the wakeup calls
[17:06] <Jobbe> Thanks ubottu
[17:07] <impi> i disabled all of them except PWRB & LID0
[17:07] <Jobbe> I'm trying to install KES8 for linux. It need a real-time kernel module to make it work.
[17:08] <lotuspsychje> impi: solved now?
[17:08] <Jobbe> oh
[17:08] <Jobbe> thanks lotuspsychje hah
[17:09] <impi> lotuspsychje, i hope so, i disabled the lid too and only allowed the power button to wake the laptop
[17:10] <impi> man this laptop get scary hot in my bag
[17:10] <impi> im sure it wont last log if this happens to frequently
[17:10] <Jobbe> hehe
[17:10] <Jobbe> I've sometimes forgotten to turn off my laptop when i put it in my bag
[17:10] <lotuspsychje> impi: did you vacuum clean it once?
[17:10] <impi> no it's brand new
[17:10] <Jobbe> but it runs pretty cool when idle
[17:10] <impi> lotuspsychje, ^^
[17:10] <impi> heheeh
[17:10] <impi> har har
[17:11] <lotuspsychje> impi: its not very recommended to let a computer run into a bag...
[17:11] <impi> heh
[17:11] <impi> yeh man, it was stressing me out
[17:12] <Jobbe> I've done so many bad things to my laptop :/ .. I'm surpriced it isn't dead yet
[17:13] <lotuspsychje> Jobbe: you can use #ubuntu-offtopic for regular chat mate
[17:14] <Jobbe> sure thing, was just commenting on the laptop in bag topic :)
[17:16] <Jobbe> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/KernelGitGuide?action=show&redirect=KernelTeam%2FKernelGitGuide
[17:16] <Jobbe> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/
[17:16] <Jobbe> that link is broken
[17:18] <TJ-> Jobbe: how is it broken?
[17:18] <Jobbe> check the output from it
[17:18] <Jobbe> I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/
[17:19] <TJ-> Jobbe: it's not supposed to be accessed by a user-agent; the sub-dirs are for git when using http protocol
[17:20] <TJ-> Jobbe: but I agree the index text output is a mess :)
[17:20] <Jobbe> my bad then
[17:21] <TJ-> Jobbe: if you view the source it looks like it is partial output from gitfind, with no HTML headers, so it is probably a bug - I'll ask the sysadmin team
[17:22] <Jobbe> yeah i see that now
[17:22] <Jobbe> no html output nor <table></table>
[17:24] <iamnotgreg> How do I open a port on my computer and forward it to an open port on my localhost?
[17:24] <TJ-> Jobbe: looks like someone forgot to wrap the gitfind output
[17:24] <arcsky> Question, domain-search is that done default by the dhcp client ?
[17:24] <Jobbe> TJ-: Might be :-)
[17:25] <TJ-> Jobbe: being investigated now
[17:25] <Jobbe> Great :)
[17:27] <bithon> hey. where can i get already built latest kernel for ubuntu server? ( i'm kind of terrified of the overwhelming amount of options in confimenu that i'd prefer if somebody actually built the image for me)
[17:28] <bithon> :)
[17:29] <bithon> i found this http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-wily/ and wondering if it's recommended to install kernel from there ?
[17:31] <ChibaPet> A quick question... Are the images in http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ intended to work? In Debian the installer was usually left until last, but I don't know if that's the case here.
[17:31] <TJ-> bithon: yes, that's the correct location, although those kernel's aren't supported  (predominately they're for testing mainline vs ubuntu builds)
[17:31] <Guest48966> https://a.uguu.se/erctqn.png
[17:31] <Guest48966> does it look good for installation?
[17:31] <Guest48966> and should I make another 200 MB /boot/ partition?
[17:32] <TJ-> ChibaPet: the images are built daily and should work
[17:32] <ChibaPet> TJ-: ty, I'll snag one and try it then, rather than upgrading from an older release.
[17:32] <bithon> TJ-: But they are still built from ubuntu's generic config I assume, yes?
[17:32] <TJ-> Guest48966: I'd recommend more that 200MB for /boot/ due to frequent problems with running out of space for updated kernels
[17:33] <Guest48966> Ookay
[17:33] <TJ-> bithon: correct; it's all automated and run through QA testing
[17:33] <Jobbe> TJ-: he have an EFI parition, does he really need a /boot/ partition then ?
[17:33] <orion> Hi. How do I prevent one particular sudo command from being logged? It's on a schedule and is cluttering up my logs.
[17:33] <bithon> Cool, thanks. Going to go ahead and install it right now.
[17:34] <EriC^^> orion: what's the command? why don't you use it in root's crontab
[17:34] <bithon> One more question: Which one of these are most recommended for servers (as that's what I need it for) ?
[17:34] <bithon> uname --all
[17:34] <bithon> oops
[17:35] <TJ-> Jobbe: EFI-SP and /boot/ are different things, with different purposes
[17:36] <TJ-> bithon: for '-server' you don't want the -live images. You want http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/
[17:37] <Guest48966> Ubuntu installer, accepted :D
[17:37] <Guest48966> it's copying files, right naw
[17:39] <oscar_> Buen día...

[17:39] <orion> EriC^^: cron isn't the one doing the scheduling for this particular command.
[17:40] <motaka2> does any one has any idea why phpunit --version on the first block doesn't work ? in this manual https://phpunit.de/getting-started.html
[17:40] <ChibaPet> TJ-: Oh, thanks for linking that - it's actually what I want too, not the live.
[17:40] <TJ-> orion: 'cluttering' which log, auth.log ?
[17:41] <bithon> TJ-: How "generally" are stable latest releases of kernel ?
[17:41] <Gallomimia> quite stable. i find
[17:42] <Gallomimia> seen one that had a weird bug in it once. affected some people. fixed next day
[17:42] <bithon> TJ-: Is there a repo for kernel only images? I already have server up and running
[17:45] <orion> TJ-: yes
[17:46] <Russel> Hi!
[17:49] <anchnk> hi, is it possible to upgrade the version of evolution from 3.10 to 3.12 under ubuntu 14.04 ?
[17:50] <TJ-> bithon: the kernel images for servers are either the -generic or the -virtual (designed for typical VMs)
[17:51] <TJ-> orion: as far as I am aware, sudo cannot be commanded to reduce logging, only to increase it. A valid sensible security measure obviously.
[17:52] <afe> How to manage a desktop remotely? Remove some software, update or tweak a bit the DE
[17:52] <motaka2> TJ-: Hello, Happy new year
[17:53] <ChibaPet> afe: ssh in
[17:53] <bithon> TJ-: Oh, I run my server in vbox. -virtual more recommended in such a scenario and what are the general benefits of using it (except for the obvious ones) instead of -generic ?
[17:53] <bithon> in a vbox *

[17:55] <hari_> hi guys
[17:55] <orion> TJ-: ok thanks
[17:55] <hari_> how to fix wifi problems
[17:56] <bithon> also, does -virtual support vbox by default?? (http://askubuntu.com/questions/257416/what-are-practical-advantages-of-using-linux-image-virtual-kernel mentions only a couple of vm's)
[17:56] <blackflow> hari_: you begin by explaining what the problem is :)
[17:56] <Mathisen> hari_, depends on whay problem..
[17:56] <TJ-> bithon: the -virtual images only contain the modules required in VM guests; not every possible bit of hardware support, so they're smaller and more focused
[17:57] <maddawg2> hey all, i recently ran a sudo apt-get upgrade all and for some reason when i boot now it drops me to a busybox shell that says (initramfs)
[17:57] <bithon> TJ-: Okay, so given that i run a ubuntu server in a vbox virtual would make mor sense in my case ?

[17:58] <TJ-> bithon: it sounds that way. The only time I've seen someone get caught out by it, was when trying to passthrough host USB devices

[18:13] <jedix> hey,  I have ubuntu 12.04 installed, and my bluetooth adapter is not showing up.  It's a ky-bt100 based dongle.  hcitool dev returns no devices..
[18:13] <TJ-> django_: those keep the remote session running even if you disconnect
[18:13] <maddawg2> so it's a bit longer
[18:13] <jedix> I see it has a kernel module loaded..
[18:13] <TJ-> jedix: possibly there is no driver in 12.04 for that device
[18:13] <eihab> hello
[18:14] <jedix> TJ-: in the 3.13 kernel?
[18:15] <jedix> TJ-: I've found posts about it working on Hardy..
[18:15] <TJ-> jedix: get the device's PCI or USB ID [vendor:product] and then you can check if there is a module supporting it
[18:15] <jedix> TJ-: 1131:1001
[18:17] <jedix> TJ-: where would you find a list of the supported vendor:product id?
[18:19] <TJ-> jedix: I'm not seeing a module that declares an alias for that device, using "grep 'v00001131.*1001' /lib/modules/*/modules.alias"
[18:20] <TJ-> jedix: it's possible it can be recognised via a Class driver instead; can you show the "lsusb -v -d 1141:1001" output?
[18:23] <TJ-> jedix: bah, typo in my command s/1141/1131/
[18:23] <jedix> TJ-: I still don't see it..
[18:24] <jedix> sec
[18:24] <jedix> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/tc6HQGMQ
[18:25] <TJ-> jedix:  "bDeviceClass          224 Wireless" indicates a suitable wireless/BT driver *may* be able to manage that
[18:26] <maddawg2> EriC^^, i'm in the live CD now
[18:26] <maddawg2> oh wait desktop hasnt loaded yet

[18:28] <EriC^^> maddawg2: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc openterm.tk 9
[18:28] <TJ-> jedix: "modinfo btusb" shows that module declares a matching class alias: "alias:          usb:v*p*d*dcE0dsc01dp01ic*isc*ip*in*"
[18:28] <TJ-> jedix: check on your system the module declares that same alias
[18:29] <TJ-> jedix: "dcE0" is the device class, E0 os hexadecimal for 224 decimal (the class number)
[18:30] <jedix> sure, sec
[18:30] <maddawg2> is that an l or a 1
[18:30] <maddawg2> lol
[18:31] <maddawg2> EriC^^, i'm guessing that was the letter L
[18:31] <jedix> TJ-: alias usb:v*p*d*dcE0dsc01dp01ic*isc*ip*in* btusb
[18:31] <jedix> yep
[18:31] <maddawg2> i did that and it just returned a new line
[18:31] <jedix> it's there
[18:31] <TJ-> jedix: OK, so we know there's apparent support, so the next thing to do is look at /var/log/kern.log and see if the btusb driver reports it claiming that device, or any errors, when it is plugged in
[18:32] <TJ-> jedix: "tail -n 0 -f /var/log/kern.log" and then plug it in
[18:32] <EriC^^> maddawg2: yup
[18:33] <snowstorm> hi all
[18:34] <maddawg2> EriC^^ ok
[18:34] <jedix> TJ-: hmm, I'm not actually at the box right now..
[18:34] <jedix> TJ-: I'm ssh'ed in
[18:34] <maddawg2> EriC^^ I think it's a bad superblock
[18:34] <TJ-> jedix: well that's the thing to do when you are. If no messages appear it's likely the btusb driver isn't 'claiming' the device for some reason
[18:34] <TJ-> jedix: Ahh... maybe you can cause a rescan by probing the sysfs
[18:35] <jedix> TJ-: hmm, there's logs from a few days ago that indicate that this happened on first plugin..
[18:36] <EriC^^> maddawg2: what did it say?
[18:37] <maddawg2> nothing Eric^^
[18:37] <maddawg2> it returned an empty line
[18:37] <maddawg2> didnt even return an empty line
[18:37] <maddawg2> just sent me back to the command line
[18:37] <maddawg2> i was looking here:  https://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/
[18:38] <maddawg2> cuz i did an fsck.ext4 -v /dev/sdb1
[18:38] <maddawg2> and it told me there was  a bad superblock
[18:39] <EriC^^> maddawg2: try sudo parted -l
[18:40] <jophish> Hi I'm using xubuntu on a laptop with a high dpi screen and I can hardly read any of the text
[18:40] <jedix> TJ-: not finding a way to simulate this..
[18:40] <jophish> how can I scale everything by 2?
[18:40] <maddawg2> EriC^^, lists my installed drives
[18:41] <maddawg2> woah wtf
[18:41] <maddawg2> it has my filesystems as ntfs
[18:41] <maddawg2> I DID NOT do NTFS
[18:41] <maddawg2> i did ext4
[18:41] <EriC^^> maddawg2: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc openterm.tk 9
[18:42] <EriC^^> paste the link here, is this a fresh install?
[18:42] <maddawg2> no it's not a fresh install
[18:42] <maddawg2> i did that command but again it just drops me to an empty command prompt line
[18:43] <maddawg2> also no network access on the machine right now
[18:43] <TJ-> jedix: first identify the node in sysfs for that device, it'll be under /sys/class/usb/usb*/ .. maybe 'grep 1131 /sys/class/usb/usb*/idVendor' will help
[18:43] <EriC^^> oh ok
[18:43] <EriC^^> maddawg2: can you get a network access?
[18:44] <maddawg2> EriC^^ I can try
[18:44] <snowstorm> has anyone else lost the surround sound via hdmi (Radeon HD 7700/7800 Series) on ubuntu 14.04 after last update?
[18:44] <kian> hello, I used this guide to setup znc: https://www.vultr.com/docs/install-and-setup-znc-on-ubuntu
[18:44] <kian> how can I add something to make sure it starts on boot?
[18:44] <oren> Hello. I am new to Ubuntu Mate
[18:44] <TJ-> jedix: Then once you're satisfied you have the correct node, do "echo suspend | sudo dd of=/sys/class/usb/usb<DEVNUM>/power/control" to power it down, then "echo auto | sudo dd of=/sys/class/usb/usv<DEVNUM>/power/control" to wake it up/discover it again
[18:45] <maddawg2> EriC^^, i think i might have to redo this whole machine....  the filesystem is completely wrong
[18:45] <EriC^^> maddawg2: ok, try getting a network access so we can see what's going on
[18:46] <dev_> hi
[18:46] <faxx_> Is anyone in here that can help me configure hylafax for my network?
[18:47] <dev_> Is there any way to support korean/chinese keyboard layout other than ibus/scim packages on linux?
[18:47] <eluus> does anyone know how to enable high fidelity playback on ubuntu for bluetooth audio device?
[18:47] <eluus> there's the option for it but it's not working
[18:48] <TJ-> jedix: Sorry, bad path typo there ... then do "echo suspend | sudo dd of=/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb<DEVNUM>/power/control" to power it down, then "echo auto | sudo dd of=/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb<DEVNUM>/power/control" to wake it up/discover it again
[18:49] <eluus> version 15.10
[18:49] <dev_> Is there any way to support korean/chinese keyboard layout other than ibus/scim packages on linux? Can anybody help me,please?
[18:50] <jedix> TJ-: I can't seemt o get that to go
[18:50] <jedix> TJ-: I then su'ed and tried to echo it directly..
[18:50] <jedix> echo: write error: invalid argument
[18:51] <dev_> Is there any way to support korean/chinese keyboard layout other than ibus/scim packages on linux? Can anybody help me,please?
[18:52] <daftykins> dev_: don't repeat so quickly
[18:52] <dev_> sorry for that
[18:53] <piercedwater> can someone help me figure out why my usb 3.0 enclosure (Orico 9548) slows down at the same spot every time and stops? I'm on 14.04
[18:55] <daftykins> piercedwater: not without more detail
[18:55] <daftykins> what is "the same spot" ?
[18:55] <piercedwater> ok, i shall provide. what info do you need
[18:55] <KaiForce> is there a way to ensure that a specific interface (eth0 eth1 etc...) uses a specific physical port?  I have a machine with three interfaces where occasionally eth0 and eth1 will flip/flop.  This breaks connectivity.
[18:55] <piercedwater> well, it transfers with rsync for about 2 mins then stops
[18:55] <piercedwater> dead stop
[18:55] <daftykins> add verbosity to rsync and see what it tells you, maybe it's a path of small files
[18:55] <piercedwater> they are music files
[18:56] <piercedwater> verbosity tells me nothing except the transfer speed as slowed down to 200kb/s
[18:56] <django_> if i close terminal 'screen' loses all the consoles?
[18:56] <django_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen
[18:57] <ChibaPet> django_: No, screen exists to keep them running as long as the screen process itself is alive.
[18:57] <dev_> i have installed scim package along with scim-pinyin package but i can't see chinese keyboard layout support
[18:57] <snowstorm> does anyone knows about lost of surround sound through hdmi with Radeon HD 7700/7800 Series after Ubuntu 14.04 LTS latest update done few days ago?
[18:57] <ChibaPet> django_: Connect to the system and, in the simplest form, "screen -x" to reconnect.
[18:58] <django_> ChibaPet, if its  detached how do i un-detach
[18:58] <ChibaPet> screen -x
[18:59] <django_> 21824.pts-2.django      (01/13/2016 01:48:42 PM)        (Detached)
[18:59] <fox-catch> Hi all.
[18:59] <django_> says: Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.
[18:59] <fox-catch> Whenever I try to install something. I get error to do `apt-get install -f`
[19:00] <daftykins> fox-catch: show the full output in http://paste.ubuntu.com - obviously you have prior package issues
[19:00] <ChibaPet> oh, interesting - I never see that state. Alright. So, screen -r or if it requires more, screen -r django
[19:00] <fox-catch> and whenever I do that it will go and installl something will failure at end
[19:00] <speedy__> hi
[19:00] <TJ-> jedix: hmm, you're replacing "<DEVNUM>" with the device number you've identified in the previous step ?
[19:00] <mattia> Hi, I'm not understanding how to install ubuntu on UEFI machines. Anyone can help me?
[19:00] <fox-catch> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14489753/ it's 12.04
[19:01] <daftykins> mattia: how far are you getting?
[19:01] <speedy__> how to i remove a tree of folders  via commandline?
 : pretty much 0%
[19:01] <daftykins> fox-catch: and you're trying to set up apache today is it?
[19:01] <ChibaPet> django_: The oddity here is that I regularly attach to detached sessions with -x. Let me fire up my laptop and see if ubuntu is doing something differently.
[19:01] <daftykins> mattia: not as far as preparing a flash drive to install from?
[19:01] <django_> ChibaPet, i have multiple sessions
[19:01] <TJ-> speedy__: to remove *EVERYTHING* under and including /path/to/dir "rm -rf /path/to/dir"
[19:01] <fox-catch> daftykins: no php 5.6
[19:02] <django_> ok it works
[19:02] <django_> i did screen -r 21824.pts-2.django
[19:02] <ChibaPet> django_: If you have multiple sessions, give it enough text to uniquely identify the one you want.
[19:02] <speedy__> TJ-,  yes i want everything gone
[19:02] <mattia> No. I alredy have a DVD as media.
[19:02] <django_> ChibaPet, how can i delete a screen?
[19:02] <daftykins> fox-catch: but your paste shows it's trying to install the apache module for php5, which is having issues because it can't install apache main...
[19:02] <mattia> The problem is that I don't undestand what to do with the partitions.
[19:03] <daftykins> mattia: are you trying to install beside Windows, or as the only OS?
[19:03] <fox-catch> daftykins: aha so I should I fix this first?
[19:03] <daftykins> fox-catch: yep
[19:03] <mattia> daftykins : alongside win
[19:03] <fox-catch> daftykins: but how :P
[19:03] <ChibaPet> django_: From within the screen ^a\
[19:03] <daftykins> fox-catch: i slightly suspect the use of PPAs ruining your install - 12.04 is a bit antique to hold out on, too.
[19:04] <django_> ChibaPet, sorry?
[19:04] <daftykins> !efi | mattia read here for more background
[19:04] <speedy__> TJ-,  do i need to use the "" in the command like you do?
[19:05] <TJ-> speedy__: no, I use to the make clear what is my commentary, and what is a command
[19:05] <ChibaPet> django_: From within the screen you want to kill, control-a and then the '\' key
[19:05] <mattia> right. I'm reading...
[19:05] <jedix> TJ-: yeah
[19:05] <django_> ohh i did: ctrl a + :quit
[19:05] <speedy__> TJ-,  do i need to use the "" in the command like you do?
[19:05] <django_> works :d
[19:05] <TJ-> speedy__: no
[19:05] <speedy__> TJ-,  /home/ubuntu/buildme/spigotserver rm -rf world
[19:05] <speedy__> -bash: /home/ubuntu/buildme/spigotserver: Is a directory   :/
[19:06] <speedy__> Permission denied TJ-

[19:06] <jedix> echo: write error: invalid argument
[19:07] <le_pig> is it possible to install a package like ubuntu-desktop, including recommended packages, but excluding specific recommended packages, like shotwell or aisleriot?
[19:08] <daftykins> just remove them after?
[19:08] <daftykins> otherwise don't use the meta package
[19:09] <genii> Otherwise, make a task and use tasksel
[19:09] <le_pig> daftykins: good point. in my case, i'm automating the installation of systems, so i suppose i could break it out into some shell logic to query apt-cache and iterate through those i don't want.
[19:10] <le_pig> daftykins: i'm overthinking it.  thank you. :)
[19:10] <daftykins> le_pig: why not just query the contents of the meta-package and list to install all the components you do want? :>
[19:10] <mattia> Right. I have a question about intel smart response: I use a SSD as a cache for windows. There will be problems after installing ubuntu?
[19:10] <le_pig> daftykins: excellent idea, and easier than the convrse.  thank you again :)
[19:11] <daftykins> mattia: there'll be problems even trying to install probably
[19:11] <mattia> yep... That's encouraging...
[19:12] <daftykins> mattia: what's your SATA set to inside your BIOS?
[19:12] <EriC^^> le_pig: the meta-package is better to be installed
[19:12] <snowstorm> does anyone knows about lost of surround sound through hdmi with Radeon HD 7700/7800 Series after Ubuntu 14.04 LTS latest update done few days ago?
[19:13] <daftykins> snowstorm: nope, details?
[19:13] <EriC^^> i guess you could do as you said, or maybe install using --no-install-recommends and add the remaining or something
[19:13] <EriC^^> le_pig: ^ , cause apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop says it's required for upgrades and what not
[19:14] <snowstorm> surround used to play ok before last update, now all I have is Digital Stereo over HDMI
[19:14] <speedy__> http://pastebin.com/C7hs0Swx -_- some folders and files are revolting again me! so how do i remove them ?
[19:15] <daftykins> snowstorm: are you talking about an actual surround sound stream, such as dolby digital or DTS?
[19:15] <mattia> ? You mean SATA revision?
[19:16] <daftykins> no i do not
[19:16] <snowstorm> •daftykins• yeah, like playing video through VLC.
[19:16] <daftykins> snowstorm: sounds more like passthrough got turned off.
[19:17] <le_pig> Eric^^: i see. i hadn't considered that complication.  since i'm using a kickstart to automate these, perhaps i'll just follow the metapackage isntall with a purge for the few i don't want.  thank you for the clarification.
[19:17] <snowstorm> •daftykins• any idea on how I can get this fixed?
[19:18] <daftykins> snowstorm: check VLCs config, i don't use it so i can't help you.
[19:18] <EriC^^> le_pig: ok, no problem
[19:21] <jedix> TJ-: I got someone there to remove and insert the usb device
[19:21] <snowstorm> •daftykins• You got it. I wonder why it would change to 2.0 when doing updates..... Thanks anyway
[19:22] <fox-catch> daftykins:  how do I fix it?
[19:23] <daftykins> fox-catch: did you get that PHP via a PPA? it might ruin it of so.
[19:23] <daftykins> *if so
[19:23] <eluus> BluesKaj: it looks like this is a common problem https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92102
[19:23] <fox-catch> daftykins: yeah
[19:23] <fox-catch> odejref something
[19:24] <daftykins> fox-catch: then that's probably ruining it, why do you need a newer PHP?
[19:24] <mattia> Instead of installing ubuntu alongside windows in UEFI, what if I change the boot mode in Legacy and install windows first and then ubuntu?
[19:25] <daftykins> mattia: there's no reason to move to legacy, just learn how to install properly
[19:25] <fox-catch> daftykins: so that I can run php server with php -S
[19:26] <fox-catch> daftykins: also it has already ruined it. So I don't have any option but to fix it
[19:26] <mattia> ok... I'm reading.
[19:26] <daftykins> fox-catch: right but you ruined it with the PPA. try removing libapache2-mod-php5
[19:27] <fox-catch> okay
[19:27] <fox-catch> daftykins: it asks for same '-f install'
[19:28] <daftykins> it says more than that, pastebin it.
[19:28] <daftykins> including what you ran
[19:28] <fox-catch> daftykins:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14490072/
[19:29] <pratz> hey
[19:30] <pratz> was really hoping somebdy to guide me in the programming world
[19:30] <daftykins> this is OS support, find a channel for what you want to learn to develop with
[19:30] <sruli> i have a 15.10 ubuntu-gnome VM, on each start i have to hit TAB to enter the luks pass, how can i fix this so i see the pass entry on boot without fiddling buttons?
[19:31] <daftykins> fox-catch: ok i think you installed "php5" which is pulling in all the other junk, remove that and install just what you were after - which may be a single component
[19:31] <fox-catch> daftykins: but it won't let me remove or install
[19:31] <daftykins> you're saying "sudo apt-get remove php5" does nothing?
[19:33] <fox-catch> daftykins: no it throws same error as I pasted above
[19:33] <daftykins> that doesn't make any sense
[19:34] <daftykins> fox-catch: "dpkg -l | grep php"
[19:34] <jedix> TJ-: are you still around?
[19:34] <mattia> What is the "microsoft reserved partition" in my hard drive? Can I erase it or should I keep it?
[19:35] <TJ-> jedix: yes
[19:35] <grunsch> keep it
[19:35] <fox-catch> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14490121/
[19:35] <TJ-> jedix: was reading up on the _fascinating_ subject of USB port/device power control gymnastics :)
[19:35] <daftykins> mattia: probably part of a factory restore image, show us a proper "sudo parted -l" pastebin so we can just see the whole thing in one...
[19:36] <mattia> I can't I'm in bus right now and my pc is at home...
[19:36] <jedix> TJ-: haha
[19:36] <daftykins> fox-catch: try "sudo dpkg -r php5 php5-cli php5-common libapache2-mod-php5"
[19:36] <jedix> TJ-: the easiest way ot reset your usb device is to locate someone near the cord
[19:36] <Peaceful> Hi
[19:36] <Peaceful> How can i install older kernel in ubuntu>?
[19:36] <daftykins> mattia: ah, best not to bug us until you're actually in front of the machine in question.
[19:37] <sopadj1> hi guys! :) I have just installed ubuntu on my new laptop hp pavilion 15. the videos/movies/clips dont work properly. I have tried with both smplayer and vlc and the same problem...basically if I play a video and I set the full screen the video size does not change and blue borders appears to fill the space around the video... :( any idea?
[19:37] <thebope> Does anyone know the default Charset for Ubuntu 14.04? Is it UTF-16? I'm trying to hash a string with C# on a windows machine, and pass it in the URL parameter to my apache2 server hosted on an Ubuntu 14.04 box and I'm receiving stuff that looks like %EF%BF%BD etc etc
[19:37] <fox-catch> daftykins: it worked now?
[19:37] <mattia> Ok. I'll come back tomorrow....
[19:37] <mattia> thanks.
[19:37] <roothorick> as far as I know only Microsoft is using UTF-16 in any real capacity
[19:37] <daftykins> sopadj1: sounds like you require some graphics drivers and have not put any on... pastebin "lspci"
[19:37] <jedix> TJ-: so, I see the device come up..
[19:38] <jedix> TJ-: I see this:
[19:38] <jedix> [61702.906117] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1131, idProduct=1001
[19:38] <jedix> [61702.906118] usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
[19:38] <jedix> [61702.906186] usb 3-2: no configuration chosen from 0 choices
[19:38] <daftykins> fox-catch: so i think adding a PPA then trying to use ubuntu's metapackage of 'php5' was the mistake there.
[19:38] <jedix> not sure what the last line is about..
[19:38] <TJ-> jedix: there's actually a node for each USB device, "authorized" which can be set to 0 (false) or 1 (true) to achieve the same ends
[19:38] <fox-catch> daftykins: aha, but now how I go to install php 5.6
[19:38] <TJ-> !paste | jedix copy the output to a pastebin please
[19:39] <sopadj1> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/mixduuJY
[19:39] <jedix> TJ-: sorry, I generally do for > 3 lines..
[19:39] <TJ-> jedix: "no configuration chosen from 0 choices" ... might suggest a problem
[19:39] <daftykins> fox-catch: sorry, i don't fancy tackling that one on 12.04.
[19:40] <TJ-> jedix: although, I'd have thought the class driver would take care of that later. If there's no hint of the btusb module 'claiming' that device I would think there's something else in the device's alias stopping the match
[19:41] <jedix> TJ-: btusb is loaded
[19:41] <Peaceful> How can i install older kernel in ubuntu>?
[19:41] <daftykins> Peaceful: how old? generally it's not a good idea.
[19:41] <Peaceful> daftykins: 3.13
[19:41] <fox-catch> daftykins:  :(
[19:42] <fox-catch> okay
[19:42] <daftykins> Peaceful: on what version?
[19:42] <Peaceful> daftykins: 15.10
[19:42] <daftykins> nope that's not wise, what are you trying to achieve?
[19:42] <Peaceful> daftykins: i just need to know how to install it
[19:42] <sopadj1> daftykins, and http://pastebin.com/a1q6PuMp
[19:43] <daftykins> Peaceful: if you explain what you're trying to achieve we might be able to explain the sensible approach.
[19:43] <Peaceful> daftykins: i just need to know how to install older kernel ;) what commands? ;)
[19:43] <daftykins> sopadj1: ah ok intel only. what did you install, 15.10 ?
[19:44] <daftykins> Peaceful: ok, you're unable to answer a simple direct question - no it's not advisable, so i'm not answering.
[19:44] <sopadj1> daftykins, yes 15.10
[19:44] <sopadj1> daftykins, xubuntu 15.10
[19:44] <Peaceful> daftykins: that's not what im asking for
[19:44] <Peaceful> I dont care if it's wise or advisable i need to know how to install kernel on ubuntu
[19:45] <daftykins> Peaceful: what you're trying to do is wrong, so i won't help.
[19:45] <Peaceful> daftykins: nothing is wrong in open source world
[19:45] <daftykins> yes, yes it is.
[19:46] <daftykins> sopadj1: hmm well if you're fully updated there shouldn't really be any driver issues with intel only
[19:46] <sopadj1> daftykins, this is what I think and it makes me a bit concerned
[19:46] <daftykins> could be a xubuntu thing
[19:46] <Peaceful> daftykins: i dont want to argue with you. im not asking if it is wrong i only need to know how.
[19:47] <Peaceful> i have done lot of wrong things in life
[19:47] <daftykins> Peaceful: that's nice, but it's still not happening.
[19:47] <Peaceful> daftykins: or you dont know how to do it/
[19:47] <flux242> Peaceful: what kernel version you want?
[19:47] <Peaceful> flux242: 3.13
[19:47] <daftykins> i refuse to give bad advice
[19:48] <Peaceful> its not about advie
[19:48] <daftykins> this is a support channel so yeah, it is
[19:48] <Peaceful> daftykins: i like to test, learn and do whatever i want with my laptop
[19:48] <daftykins> that's nice, dear.
[19:48] <flux242> Peaceful: take your kernel from mainline http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[19:48] <daftykins> i'm ignoring you now so you don't keep ranting on
[19:48] <TJ-> jedix: btusb may be loaded but it should also indicate if, when a device is attached, it claims it. We can enable some BT_DBG() macros in the module via the kernel's dynamic_debug control though, which may help us see how far processing in the module gets
[19:48] <Peaceful> daftykins: i dont mind if you ignore me ;)
[19:49] <Peaceful> flux242: is that the only way to get kernel?
[19:49] <flux242> you compile one
[19:49] <daftykins> that's the worst advice.
[19:49] <TJ-> jedix: let's check there's something there to enable first. "pastebinit <( sudo grep 'btusb\.c' /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control )"
[19:49] <sopadj1> daftykins, I will try https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
[19:49] <Peaceful> daftykins: im not asking for advice
[19:49] <daftykins> sopadj1: no don't, that won't work
[19:49] <Peaceful> Im asking for how-to ;0
[19:49] <daftykins> Peaceful: i'm not talking to you, stop messaging me now.
[19:49] <TJ-> !mainline | Peaceful
[19:50] <sopadj1> daftykins, ah... ok :) any suggestion?
[19:50] <Peaceful> daftykins: oops
[19:50] <akik> Peaceful: "dpkg -x" can be used to unpack a deb file
[19:50] <Peaceful> daftykins: offense is a bad thing
[19:50] <Peaceful> akik: okay thanks
[19:50] <daftykins> sopadj1: just to be sure i'd prefer to see the full "lspci" output
[19:50] <Peaceful> i think ill be fine
[19:52] <sopadj1> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/gsT5K6v1
[19:52] <daftykins> ok yep definitely intel only
[19:55] <daftykins> sopadj1: in VLC does the source video change the effect? are you double clicking to fullscreen?
[19:55] <TJ-> jedix: if there are debug sites available then do "echo 'module btusb +pflm' | sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/dynamic_debug/control" and then re-attach the device and watch kern.log
[19:57] <sopadj1> daftykins, both in smplayer and vlc, neither with F nor with doubleclick it works
[19:57] <TJ-> jedix: bah, typo again! "echo 'module btusb +pflm' | sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control" and then re-attach the device and watch kern.log
[19:58] <daftykins> sopadj1: anything relevant from "dmesg | tail" ; at the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/kern.log whilst one of these videos is fullscreen?
[20:01] <sopadj1> daftykins, no
[20:02] <sopadj1> daftykins, from the pastebin I sent you, can you tell me if the drivers are loaded or not?
[20:02] <Bent0> Im outputting some like so "command > /var/log/error.log" but when I delete error.log no new error.log is created when the program outputs more text/ Any way around this?
[20:03] <daftykins> sopadj1: /var/log/Xorg.0.log would say
[20:03] <daftykins> Bent0: don't delete it; or 'touch' the file after to recreate
[20:04] <Bent0> I am gzipping the file after a week so it doesnt become too large thats why its deleted
[20:04] <sopadj1> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/WUxJP80r
[20:04] <Bent0> creating a new file doesnt work daftykins
[20:05] <TJ-> Bent0: you should use logrotate
[20:05] <llldino> Bent0, Are you running the command non-privileged? By default you don't have permission to write to /var/log
[20:05] <Bent0> as root
[20:06] <daftykins> sopadj1: yep it's fine, that's me out of ideas - i would test a full ubuntu live session with the same video.
[20:06] <snowstorm> what would be the best alternative to make backup of ubuntu (like symantec norton ghost)
[20:07] <sopadj1> daftykins, yes me too coulndt find anything
[20:07] <llldino> snowstorm, I use rsync for incremental backups, and tar for archived ones
[20:07] <daftykins> snowstorm: didn't you ask this yesterday? clonezilla
[20:08] <sopadj1> daftykins, is there any way to reinstall the drivers?
[20:08] <Bent0> TJ-:  logrotate would just create new file but it isnt populated
[20:08] <snowstorm> daftkins: no, not me
[20:08] <daftykins> sopadj1: that's not the answer, this isn't Windows.
[20:09] <sopadj1> daftykins, eheh I dont use windows
[20:09] <lotuspsychje> !backup | snowstorm
[20:09] <jedix> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/EJcmPQvR
[20:10] <daftykins> sopadj1: nevermind you missed the point :P apparently VLC has a output choice in preferences -> video which might help
[20:10] <snowstorm> !sbackup
[20:10] <bgr_> hi

[20:10] <snowstorm> !automate

[20:13] <talv> hey guys
[20:13] <TJ-> jedix: great :) so enable it as I showed with my 2nd, corrected typo, command. Here's an example of what to expect in kern.log when the device connects (this example device is NOT a USB Bluetooth class device) http://paste.ubuntu.com/14490432/
[20:13] <talv> ive just got a new dell 7710
[20:14] <jedix> TJ-: that command doens't return :/
[20:14] <TJ-> jedix: did you type mismatched quotes? (I use those to enclose a command line only)
[20:14] <sopadj1> daftykins, thanks!!!!!!!! it is working now...I changed from default to X11 in both vlc and smplayer and now it is working. the problem so was the unsupported default video output
[20:14] <daftykins> sopadj1: cool - i got that from google
[20:14] <jedix> TJ-: $ echo 'module btusb +pflm' | sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
[20:14] <jedix> just sits there.
[20:14] <talv> which has 2x m2 ssd's and 1x normal ssd, trying to install ubuntu onto the 1tb with win 10 on one of the m2's. The ubuntu installer can't see the m2 ssd's though any idea on how i can get it to pick them up??
[20:15] <talv> im in the live installer now
[20:15] <talv> tried fdisk -l and only seeing the 1tb
[20:15] <TJ-> jedix: waiting for you to type a sudo password?
[20:15] <talv> the bios picks up all 3 disks
[20:15] <daftykins> talv: check what model they are in Windows - i suspect they're NVMe devices
[20:15] <TJ-> jedix: I did it here "echo 'module btusb +pflm' | sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control " and it works
[20:15] <jedix> TJ-: negative, sudo ls works
[20:15] <talv> @daftykins what does that mean if they are?
[20:15] <TJ-> jedix: try pressing Ctrl+C and try again
[20:16] <jedix> yeah..
[20:16] <daftykins> talv: that they use a different protocol so more work will be needed.
[20:16] <sopadj1> daftykins, :) thanks to you anyway :)
[20:16] <jedix> I'm going to try sudo;echo >/..
[20:16] <TJ-> jedix: good plan!
[20:16] <jedix> TJ-: might be my shell (zsh)
[20:17] <talv> @daftykins okay before i log out and check can you give me some direction if they are?
[20:17] <zippo^> How can I install: Adobe Flash Player?
[20:17] <lerner> EriC^^, yesterday you helped me to fix username issues. During that, you pasted a command to change me hostname. Can you paste it again?
[20:17] <daftykins> talv: no - someone else might.
[20:17] <shibboleth> zippo^, DONT!
[20:17] <zippo^> sorry, bad channel. i will write on ubuntu-mate
[20:17] <zippo^> why no, sh?
[20:17] <zippo^> shibboleth,
[20:17] <shibboleth> flash will kill you
[20:17] <EriC^^> lerner: sudo nano /etc/hosts , and sudo nano /etc/hostname
[20:17] <nicomachus> zippo^: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[20:17] <talv> @daftykins appreciate your help so far anyway! I'm sure ill be back here shortly!
[20:17] <daftykins> !fud | shibboleth
[20:17] <zippo^> ok thx nicomachus
[20:17] <shibboleth> well, flash will allow other to prey on you
[20:18] <daftykins> shibboleth: stop.
[20:18] <shibboleth> ok, ok
[20:18] <zippo^> what is a problem with flash, shibboleth ? Why do you think that kills me?
[20:18] <lotuspsychje> zippo^: try chromium-browser with pepperflash
[20:18] <lerner> EriC^^, whats the difference between those 2 commands and hostnamectl?
[20:18] <shibboleth> Can I reference the number of flash vulnerabilities for 2015 or will that be considered FUD?
[20:20] <TJ-> shibboleth: providing security context information is fine; but you started off sounding over-dramatic
[20:20] <jedix> TJ-: hmm, now to reset..
[20:20] <TJ-> jedix: remote hands again? :D
[20:20] <jedix> hehe
[20:20] <zippo^> thx but my preferring is Firefox, sorry lotuspsychje
[20:20] <shibboleth> https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-53/product_id-6761/Adobe-Flash-Player.html
[20:20] <shibboleth> zippo^, ^
[20:21] <TheWarlord> hey!
[20:21] <lotuspsychje> zippo^: adobe flash on firefox isnt recommended anymore
[20:21] <TheWarlord> ikr
[20:21] <TJ-> jedix: From experience I know there were some regressions introduced into the BT core around kernel v3.2 or so (I forget exactly) which made some devices fail - the one I used here as an example is one-such
[20:21] <shibboleth> *flash* is not recommended anymore...
[20:21] <TheWarlord> ye
[20:21] <shibboleth> at all
[20:21] <TheWarlord> ik
[20:21] <nicomachus> TheWarlord: do you have a support question?
[20:21] <TheWarlord> No why?
[20:21] <EriC^^> lerner: seems hostnamectl changes those and others, or less
[20:22] <EriC^^> never used it before
[20:22] <shibboleth> zippo^, and that whole first page is just for *part of december*
[20:22] <lerner> ok :D
[20:22] <lerner> thanks
[20:22] <nicomachus> TheWarlord: please spam random things elsewhere then. This is support channel only.
[20:22] <jedix> TJ-: perhaps I should just build my own kernel
[20:22] <EriC^^> np :D
[20:22] <jedix> 4.4!
[20:22] <zippo^> I see adobe flash player works great on Firefox now after nicomachus has give me tips. I see normal , shibboleth
[20:22] <zippo^> nothing special
[20:23] <jedix> TJ-: no remote hands right now
[20:23] <TJ-> !mainline | jedix: It's in the mainline repos
[20:23] <crispy_beef> Hey, has anybody had an issue with both grub-pc and update-initramfs freezing during upgrades? Having this issue on a machine now that has never had a problem before. Currently 15.04.
[20:24] <lotuspsychje> crispy_beef: you might wanna consider another ubuntu versions as 15.04 is about to eol
[20:24] <daftykins> you have 17 days left of 15.04 ;)
[20:24] <crispy_beef> lotuspsychje, the upgrades were in prep to go to 15.10 :)
[20:24] <jedix> TJ-: no trusty there..
[20:24] <jedix> not for 4.4
[20:25] <jedix> v3.14.58-trusty is the latest
[20:25] <daftykins> *13
[20:25] <lotuspsychje> crispy_beef: clean install to the rescue :p
[20:26] <crispy_beef> lotuspsychje, would prefer not to have to rig work env again, encrypted disks and LVM etc. etc.
[20:26] <nicomachus> jedix: I missed the earlier parts of your conversation, but 4.4 will be LTS for 16.04, which is released in April. the 4.4 kernel was just released like 2-3 days ago.
[20:27] <TJ-> jedix: you could try that "echo 0|1 > /sys/bus/usb/.../authorized" trick to disable/enable the device. As for the kernel versions, v4.4-wily is fine for testing trusty. It'll eventually be an LTS option
[20:27] <jedix> nicomachus: yeah, looking for a newer kernel to get around a bt adapter issue..
[20:28] <TJ-> jedix: I doubt the newer kernel will help; there's something going on there more than a simple driver issue. I'm on v4.4 and the btusb module is claiming the same aliases
[20:29] <jedix> TJ-: ..now I can't fidn the sys/bus of the device
[20:29] <libman> Couldn't get nvidia-352 working on Ubuntu 15.10.  lspci: "01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940M] (rev a2)" and "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sky Lake Integrated Graphics (rev 07)".  http://libman.org/tmp/20160111-nvidia-bug-report.log.gz  http://hp.com/go/15e31
[20:30] <lotuspsychje> libman: did you install nvidia-prime?
[20:30] <devman> whats up
[20:30] <TJ-> jedix: how about "F=$(grep 1131 /sys/bus/usb/devices/[1-9]*/idVendor); [ -n "$F" ] && P=${F%%/idVendor*}; D=${P%%/*}; echo found at $P;"
[20:30] <daftykins> libman: so nvidia optimus setup, you need to install the intel update offered by the additional drivers util also
[20:31] <jedix> $ grep 1131 /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/idVendor
 $
[20:31] <jedix> -perhaps I should wait to be next to the machine.
[20:33] <libman> lotuspsychje:  I think at one point I installed it.  I wanted to make sure this hardware is known to work, and if I'm using the ideal Nvidia driver version before giving it another try.
[20:33] <lotuspsychje> libman: if your card is optimus, you need nvidia-prime...
[20:33] <django_> hey all
[20:33] <django_> whic is the best GUI for woring with github
[20:33] <libman> I run a very minimalist Ubuntu desktop with i3wm, and for some reason nvidia-prime depends on Unity and a zillion other packages I spend a lot of time scraping off after a fresh Ubuntu install....  8-)
[20:34] <jedix> TJ-: something I did removed the device, it's gone now
[20:34] <jedix> going to reboot it
[20:34] <TJ-> jedix: The important thing is, can yo make it reappear ?
[20:34] <lotuspsychje> libman: nvidia-prime isnt unity related only
[20:35] <daftykins> libman: ah yeah you're going to have fun with that, the nvidia drivers depend on lightdm i believe
[20:35] <libman> Is me needing nvidia-prime a fact based on the above lspci output?  What other info do I need to provide to determine what I need for sure?
[20:35] <daftykins> you might have to run intel only if you insist on that setup
[20:35] <Pici> libman: I assume you're installing it via the cli, next time try to --no-install-recommends apt-get
[20:35] <andybrine> Just out of interest has anyone found when on a Skype call, it cuts out the wireless connection?
[20:35] <libman> Bah, I uninstall lightdm and all that.  startx FTW.  :-P
[20:35] <daftykins> libman: yes a hybrid setup with intel + nvidia in a laptop = nvidia-prime needed if you intend to use the nvidia chip
[20:36] <daftykins> libman: ridiculous.
[20:36] <daftykins> intel only for you then, maybe you should blacklist nouveau and leave it be
[20:36] <lotuspsychje> libman: we have tons of users with screen issues without nvidia-prime and latest 352 driver
[20:36] <daftykins> unless it works fine as-is
[20:36] <libman> Is this lightdm dependency specific to Ubuntu?  Would it be different on FreeBSD?
[20:37] <jedix> TJ-: it's back, but I had to reboot the server.. so that setting is probably gone.
[20:37] <lotuspsychje> libman: so lower driver version + nvidia-prime + performance mode is very recommended
[20:37] <daftykins> libman: it's an nvidia requirement
[20:37] <libman> I'm not a gamer, the only reason I'm unhappy without Nvidia driver is vlc / mplayer refuse to scale smaller videos to full screen.  1080p videos play fine.
[20:37] <qweutzan10> Moo
[20:38] <daftykins> you don't need the nvidia driver for that
[20:38] <TJ-> jedix: OK, I trust you have saved the commands you need to re-enable the dynamic_debug etc. ?
[20:40] <TJ-> jedix: I'm going to be away for a while but drop a pastebin link once you've collected the dyn/debug from kern.log and I'll look when I return
[20:41] <libman> How can I force software scaling to play smaller videos full screen?
[20:41] <daftykins> check the output type in preferences
[20:41] <libman> (I don't mean software scaling necessarily, I mean how to I get full screen video without proprietary nvidia drivers.)
[20:41] <daftykins> someone else just had skylake causing an issue with fullscreen video, that may be the same sort of thing
[20:44] <encinas> HOLA
[20:44] <chowdri> Hi, learning to use IRC.
[20:44] <mtilhan> Hi, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 fully updated (at its repos), and while I was trying to change some settings for my unity-greeter / lightdm, after a reboot I lost my shortcuts. I mean they seemed configured, but they don't work. I deleted .gconf, tried customized shortcut but nothing did the trick. Any idea how to solve it?
[20:47] <mtilhan> No idea?
[20:47] <libman> I didn't fully understand what you said about nvidia version numbers.  Is 352 ideal for me?  (With Ubuntu 15.10, 4.2.0-23-generic kernel.)
[20:50] <lotuspsychje> libman: we have many users that have better system with 340 or 346
[20:50] <lotuspsychje> libman: with nvidia-prime installed
[20:50] <lotuspsychje> libman: check your additional drivers list
[20:54] <mtilhan> cmode
[20:59] <mtilhan> Hi, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 fully updated (at its repos), and while I was trying to change some settings for my unity-greeter / lightdm, after a reboot I lost my shortcuts. I mean they seemed configured, but they don't work. I deleted .gconf, tried customized shortcut but nothing did the trick. Any idea how to solve it?
[21:05] <egonsen> hi. i installed the meta package kubuntu-desktop. how can i remove it with all the files installed with this package?
[21:06] <llldino> sudo apt-get autoremove --purge kubuntu-desktop
[21:08] <lotuspsychje> mtilhan: what king of changes did you do on greeter and lightdm exactly?
[21:08] <lotuspsychje> kind
[21:08] <egonsen> llldino, it says "After this operation, 41,0 kB disk space will be freed.". all those files have far more than 41 kb so this can't be right
[21:10] <llldino> egonsen, How long have you been using kubuntu-desktop? It's possible other programs rely on packages that kubuntu-desktop installed, and therefore are not marked for deletion with autoremove
[21:11] <rww> don't metapackage depends get marked as manually installed if the metapackage is removed?
[21:11] <nicomachus> yes
[21:12] <egonsen> llldino, one or two days. i forgot to mention that i remved kubuntu-desktop via 'apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop'. i just reinstalled it and used the autoremove purge thing. guess it's too late if rww is right
[21:13] <mtilhan> lotuspsychje: first i installed lightdm-webkit-greeter but couldn't activate it, actually when I create an /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file and reboot OS stuck at low graphic error. Then I gave up on webkit and installed Ubuntu-tweaks and changed my login screen wallpaper,draw grids etc. However, I couldn't set it so my user background and my user login background won't be same so I opened dconf and changed that. After reboot, nothing 
[21:15] <mtilhan> I use Window + L for lock, it seemed worked. So I tried to open my terminal but it didn't respond, I checked and it was configured already for alt+ctrl+t but it wasn't working also new customized shortcut didn't worked and I noticed a few more shortcuts weren't working like media buttons etc.
[21:16] <code2be> Can I ask about something related to iptables ?
[21:16] <teward> code2be: as long as it's within the scope of Ubuntu stuff, i think so
[21:16] <teward> code2be: anything Ubuntu related (iptables, etc. included) is on topic here.  But you have to ask a real question :)
[21:16] <llldino> egonsen, If autoremove won't touch it, you can get the package list of kubuntu-desktop here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/kubuntu-desktop
[21:17] <code2be> teward, OK :), It is simply about recent module, as rcheck not working for me as expected, it work the same as update !
[21:17] <llldino> egonsen, And then using a program like synaptics, very carefully go through the list and remove the ones that don't have any dependants
[21:17] <teward> code2be: you may not be able to get hyperspecialized support here, though; you may go unanswered, so you may wish to also post on askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org as well, but that's your choice.
[21:18] <llldino> Or you can just be like me and pretend I never installed it :x
[21:18] <code2be> OK, Thanks teward
[21:19] <lotuspsychje> mtilhan: ubuntu-tweak is ppa's based and not officially suported mate
[21:19] <lotuspsychje> code2be: also try the #netfilter guys
[21:20] <mtilhan> lotuspsycje: yeah I noticed, but seemed easier to use GUI instead of dconf :/ As I am looking at dconf-editor org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys are not working.
[21:22] <lotuspsychje> mtilhan: can this help? http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/ubuntu-14-04-change-login-screen-background-remove-the-white-dots/
[21:22] <egonsen> llldino, is there a command to get the list of packages that were newly installed with the meta package? i could use that list with apt-get remove then and thus woudn't have to deete all those packages manually
[21:23] <Guest22006> hi, guys, i have another computer that i have been going back and forth with. It's a 8 yr old pc pavilion dv 2000 that I can't seem to get the right sound driver for.  I think it uses conexant. Can anyone help me?
[21:24] <Guest22006> I have put linux on it once. It's sound will come on for a few days, but off after that. The basic drivers offered don't seem to stick.
[21:24] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: wich ubuntu version please
[21:25] <mtilhan_> sorry I found the solution, seems like it is deactivated but when I click to active at dconf for media-shortcuts it relogged and seems ok now.
[21:25] <Guest22006> linux lite  does ubuntu work better with that?
[21:25] <lotuspsychje> !yay | mtilhan_
[21:25] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: only ubuntu support here mate
[21:25] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: and we recommend to use ubuntu yes
[21:26] <Guest22006> ya well no one over on linux lite channel. Does ubuntu support some of those older drivers?
[21:26] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: maybe something lightweight and LTS might do the trick for you, lubuntu or xubuntu
[21:27] <Guest22006> I tried xubuntu  but it does the same. Lubuntu any different?
[21:27] <Ben64> Guest22006: come in here with the actual issue and maybe it can be fixed
[21:27] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: driverwise it should act the same
[21:27] <Guest22006> same as ubuntu?
[21:27] <llldino> egonsen, You can check /var/log/apt/history.log and go back and see which packages were installed I think
[21:28] <Guest22006> Well, I've tried a ton of online help with sound on xubuntu and linux lite to no avail.
[21:28] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: see what Ben64 suggest, install one, and come with the exact issue to this channel
[21:28] <llldino> egonsen, I would still check and make sure you have no dependants because manually removing packages is risky business
[21:29] <Guest22006> ok what should I install?
[21:29] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: depends on your flavors and your system
[21:29] <lotuspsychje> !flavors | Guest22006
[21:30] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: personaly i would try lubuntu or xubuntu 14.04.3
[21:30] <Guest22006> ok guys will try. So i can come in with it here and you can try to help?
[21:31] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: if volunteers are awake when you ask, you can get helped yes
[21:31] <Guest22006> hahahaha o dear. ok thanks soooo much!
[21:31] <lotuspsychje> Guest22006: good luck!
[21:32] <Guest22006> thanks

[21:35] <radick> hi all..
[21:35] <radick> how are you?
[21:35] <dodalovic> Hi, guys, anyone available to help me fix some ubuntu issue ?
[21:35] <radick> i'm new to ubuntu
[21:36] <cfedde> dodalovic: whats' the issue?
[21:36] <dodalovic> I've got Lenovo w540 laptop, running ubuntu mate 15.10
[21:37] <dodalovic> font scaling is really bad
[21:37] <speedy__> http://pastebin.com/C7hs0Swx -_- some folders and files are revolting again me! so how do i remove them ?
[21:37] <crispy_beef> Jordan_U, not much to it, gets to "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.2.x-xx-generic" and that is it. Have to then kill off dpkg and apt-get and use fuser to get dpkg --configure going.
[21:37] <dodalovic> like Chrome font size is ridicilously small
[21:37] <zzking> #ubuntustudio
[21:38] <arcsky> in resolv.conf there is search domain.test . is that dns suffix ? or what dhcp option is that ?
[21:38] <cfedde> dodalovic: 4k monitor?
[21:38] <crispy_beef> Jordan_U, right now playing a dangerous game; have purged grub-pc and all inux-images so I can upgrade all packages. Will then concentrate on the kernel and grub
[21:39] <Jordan_U> crispy_beef: Please pastebin the output of "sudo update-initramfs -u -v".
[21:39] <cfedde> dodalovic: there are some scaling things that you can do in the display control.  It's a bit of a pain and some apps insist on doing their own thing. In the browser I typically <ctl>-+ to "zoom in"
[21:40] <dodalovic> cfedde: did that, but this is really annoying
[21:42] <zippo^> Which notepad application is the default in Unity?
[21:42] <zippo^> (gedit or pluma or another?)
[21:43] <Jordan_U> zippo^: In a default install of Ubuntu, Gedit is the default text editor.
[21:43] <zippo^> okee
[21:45] <mtilhan> is there a way to change the name that displays on login screen/greeter something different than my username. i want my username to be same but just change the name on login screen.
[21:45] <daftykins> i think you can hide it, which is more preferable
[21:46] <mtilhan> there is multiple accounts on my computer and hide may not be the best option.
[21:49] <bekks> mtilhan: different users have different usernames.
[21:50] <libman> Installed nvidia-352 and nvidia-prime again.  Restarted.  Same problems as before.  LightDM gives flickering blank screen.  Restarted in recovery mode, `systemctl disable`d LightDM.  startx => blank screen.  Ran `nvidia-xconfig`.  startx => blank screen.
[21:50] <bekks> mtilhan: And for every username, you can specify the same real name..
[21:50] <libman> Ctrl-Alt-F#, `pkill xinit; sudo lighdm` => "/etc/modprobe.d is not a file" (x4), "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x86_64-linux-gnu_gfxcore_conf"
[21:52] <d3rp> Is anyone here familiar with Jmicron Ethernet and Ubuntu 15.10?
[21:52] <TJ-> mtilhan: with lightdm I seem to recall that can be configured under /var/lib/lightdm-data/$USER/ - but its a long time since I messed with that
[21:52] <daftykins> d3rp: what's the actual question?
[21:52] <d3rp> yes
[21:52] <d3rp> uhm
[21:53] <Loshki> arcsky: http://www.shellhacks.com/en/Setup-DNS-Resolution-With-resolvconf-in-Examples
[21:53] <MonkeyDust> d3rp  this guy seems to have solved it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2217661
[21:53] <d3rp> I've been having issues with the driver (?) or maybe not, it
[21:53] <fripao> cioa
[21:53] <zzking> anybody can help with ubuntustudio?
[21:53] <d3rp> it's plugged in and it read that the driver is in use, but the network manager states it being disconnected
[21:54] <mtilhan> bekks: so can I have two names for my account on this pc? one for just display at login and one for terminal, ssh the real username?
[21:54] <d3rp> It could also be VMBox because it renamed Eth0 to ens5f5
[21:54] <libman> I don't even want LightDM.  I want videos to scale to full screen.
[21:54] <mtilhan> TJ: I checked the folder but nothing was inside of /var/lib/lightdm-data/$USER/ what kind of .conf should I create under it?
[21:54] <daftykins> d3rp: the kernel has changed interface naming, so that'll be what's called it that
[21:55]  * Never fuck all admin You've tried to join an unavailable channel and suck my big black COCK
[21:56] <libman> Anyone??
[21:56] <Loshki> Do I *have* to have a greeter like lightdm. Can't I just login and run startx? In the past, doing this hasn't worked, because the greeter seems to have some interaction with dbus that makes sound not work. Anyone else experience this?
[21:57] <daftykins> no startx isn't supported
[21:57] <ChibaPet> Loshki: You can use xdm if you want.
[21:57] <ChibaPet> Loshki: and there's startx available.
[21:58] <daftykins> libman: none of your steps are really supported - and as mentioned you needed to install the intel update the additional drivers program offers in addition to an nvidia driver with nvidia-prime
[21:58] <libman> I always uninstalled *dm and used startx and something like i3wm, but now apparently now Ubuntu forces you to use LightDM to play full screen video on Nvidia...
[21:58] <ChibaPet> Loshki: install the xinit package if you want it
[21:58] <Loshki> I don't really need a DM at all, but an undocumented dependency on dbus is a modest bug, IMO.
[21:58] <libman> Install the Intel update?  What?  Where?
[21:58] <ChibaPet> Loshki: then use startx, or a simpler one like xdm. I run xdm on my laptop right now.
[21:59] <ChibaPet> Loshki: Caveat, this is 14.04. Maybe they are no longer available in newer releases, although that would be surprising.
[21:59] <daftykins> libman: no, nvidia themselves dev their driver as depending on lightdm - at least blame the correct party.
[22:01] <Loshki> A video driver that depends on which DM you used to login? Does no-one else think that's so wrong?
[22:02] <libman> Nevermind the last error, I should use `sudo service restart lightdm` instead of `sudo lightdm`.  That gets me the flickering blank screen again.  What do I do?
[22:03] <rocky> hey everyone. I got a problem which I want some help resolving. I am running ubuntu 14.04 in virtualbox and before the GUI shows it says my system is running in low graphics mode. I have been running ubuntu a few weeks with no problem just to randomly get this happen yesterday.
[22:04] <rocky> I have tried a few basic commands in the terminal using ctrl alt f1 like updating, upgrading but no luck, same error. any suggestions please?
[22:04] <daftykins> rocky: sounds like the vboxdrv graphics module can't be loaded.
[22:05] <Jordan_U> rocky: Did you install the virtualbox guest additions, and if so how?
[22:05] <daftykins> reinstall the virtualbox packages
[22:05] <ChibaPet> bbl all
[22:05] <rocky> yeah, did it through the terminal back when I installed it
[22:06] <daftykins> rocky: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dpkg -l | grep virtual | pastebinit
[22:06] <Jordan_U> rocky: What commands did you run exactly? Saying that you did it "through the terminal" doesn't really tell us much.
[22:08] <rocky> I honestly can't remember. It was annoying as I didn't know why the screen was so small inside virtualbox and so I had to follow a youtube video which told me to install the guest additions. I might be able to remember the video I watched hang on
[22:08] <daftykins> just run what i pointed out
[22:08] <speedy__> http://pastebin.com/C7hs0Swx -_- some folders and files are revolting again me! so how do i remove them ?
[22:09] <daftykins> speedy__: because you kept typing the wrong commands
[22:09] <speedy__> i am a noob.. so please teach me
[22:09] <libman> `prime-select nvidia` doesn't change anything.   Can no longer Ctrl-Alt-F# out of failing attempt to start X, must hard-power-off...
[22:10] <speedy__> daftykins,  so what am i suppose to do to remove them?
[22:10] <llldino> sudo rm -rf /full/path/to/world
[22:10] <daftykins> "sudo rm -rf world"
[22:10] <bekks> speedy__: Why do you want to remove something you dont have permission to do so?
[22:11] <llldino> bekks, He probably used make install or something
[22:11] <daftykins> that server strikes me as an EC2 instance
[22:11] <bekks> llldino: lets not guess, and just ask him/her :)
[22:11] <speedy__> i am the server owner, so i should be able to get to what i want bekks
[22:11] <Jordan_U> speedy__: Note that you should be *very* careful any time you use rm, especially with -r, and even more so with sudo.
[22:12] <speedy__> llldino,  no i did not, i try to import a minecraft mine and it we not co=op with me
[22:12] <speedy__> Jordan_U,  what do you mean?
[22:13] <llldino> If you have write permissions, then rm -rf /full/path/to directory will delete that directory and all it's contents; if you do not have write permissions you will have to preface that command with sudo
[22:13] <speedy__> Jordan_U,  i am trying to remvove truck of file so i can run my program that calls on the folder named :wold"
[22:14] <pedrocr> I tried to set my screen to 30bit color in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but that broke unity
[22:14] <llldino> But like Jordan said, you should be careful with the rm command, and one way to be sure of what you're deleting is by typing the full path instead of just the directory
[22:14] <Jordan_U> speedy__: rm is a command which removes files. If you add "-r" then it will also remove directories and all of the files within those directories. If you accidentally mistype a path when running "rm -r" you could end up deleting a lot more than you indented, like your entire home directory.
[22:14] <pedrocr> now it won't start even if I go back to not having a xorg.conf at all
[22:14] <amunizp> hi redirected here by ubuntu-uk. I have luks encryption and at boot up it always warns me that swap1 is not mounted. then eventually mounts and logs in. is this normal?
[22:14] <pedrocr> anyone know where I can check logs to see what's happening?
[22:14] <pedrocr> this is with 14.04
[22:14] <daftykins> lol 30-bit
[22:15] <daftykins> pedrocr: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:15] <speedy__> Jordan_U,  in the pastebin i want just want the "world" folder to be delelted
[22:15] <Jordan_U> speedy__: There is no "trash can" with rm, once it's gone it's gone for good*     (*OK, there are ways to maybe recover some files after they've been deleted, but it's neither easy nor reliable).
[22:15] <pedrocr> daftykins: X itself seems to be working fine as the guest session works ok
[22:15] <pedrocr> daftykins: only my normal user session is broken
[22:16] <speedy__> Jordan_U,  correct
[22:16] <daftykins> pedrocr: so then it's just your account, ok i suspect you've run sudo startx at some point and trashed it, so maybe check your home permissions for files not owned by you
[22:16] <speedy__> llldino,  i do not have them, i also used sudo and i still can not del the dir
[22:17] <daftykins> !pm | rocky
[22:17] <rocky> alright
[22:17] <bekks> speedy__: which exact command did you try for deletion?
[22:18] <pedrocr> daftykins: nothing suspicious that I can see
[22:18] <django136> Hello everyone
[22:18] <rocky> I can't find the video that showed me how to install virtualbox guest additions.
[22:18] <daftykins> rocky: so run the command i said ages ago instead
[22:18] <rocky> It was a fairly straight forward procedure from what I remember
[22:19] <speedy__> bekks, /home/ubuntu/buildme/spigotserver/world rm -rf
[22:19] <bekks> speedy__: which is not even a valid command.
[22:19] <pedrocr> daftykins: .xsession-errors does have some complaints
[22:19] <daftykins> speedy__: come on pay attention, we've told you what to run 5 times now
[22:19] <rocky> yeah I ran the command you said but I must have made a mistake because it said something like you are trying to edit a non existent file or something bare with me
[22:19] <django136> Is it possible to have multiple interfaces on an ubuntu server?
[22:19] <pedrocr> about not being able to connect to brltty and a few others
[22:19] <django136> Thanx
[22:19] <daftykins> django136: network interfaces? of course
[22:19] <bekks> django136: multiple instances of what?
[22:20] <libman> I was fine on much slower laptops with a lightweight Ubuntu i3wm setup and no proprietary drivers, but on this new laptop (i7, 16GB RAM) no video player seems to scale low-resolution videos to full screen.  (1080p videos play fine in full screen.)
[22:20] <bekks> django136: forgive me, interfaces. of course.
[22:21] <speedy__> bekks,  oh ok
[22:21] <speedy__> daftykins,  you have my ears
[22:21] <bekks> speedy__: you have been told the command to run multiple times.
[22:22] <krabbe> I have a sandisk 128GB USB stick. I fails on me during heave load. I notice that immediately after I’ve re-formatted the partition and run fsck.ext4 it tells me that it’s not valid - “Bad magic number in super-block”. Any idea about what might be wrong? Broken stick? (it’s rather new) kernel issue? I’m getting desperate.
[22:22] <django136> daftykins: bekks You guys have any tutorial that I can follow. Honestly, I am very new with networking stuff and getting overwhelmed with all the information on the interne
[22:22] <Jordan_U> libman: What happens when you try to use vlc? What about "mplayer -vo=gl" ?
[22:22] <daftykins> speedy__: well what we're after is your eyes so that you'd read the command the first time we tell you.
[22:22] <libman> Was able to `startx` (but not lighdm) after `prime-select intel`.  `nvidia-detector` says "none". `glxgears` fails with "Xlib: extension GLX missing on display :0" "Error: couldn't get an RGB, double-buffered visual".
[22:23] <Jordan_U> krabbe: Sounds like bad hardware to me.
[22:23] <speedy__> bekks, huh? what do you mean? did i run "which command " repeatly ?
[22:23] <speedy__> daftykins, you can have them too.
[22:24] <daftykins> speedy__: so like two of us said earlier "sudo rm -rf /home/ubuntu/spigotserver/world"
[22:25] <pedrocr> how annoying, all the session is fine, except for unity which no longer starts up
[22:25] <pedrocr> so no window borders and no launcher
[22:26] <daftykins> pedrocr: go into ~/.config/ and rename the compiz folders in there
[22:26] <daftykins> then try logging in as you again
[22:27] <pedrocr> daftykins: I've already nuked them completely with no effect
[22:27] <libman> Without proprietary drivers, vlc and mplayer won't scale smaller videos no matter what settings I tried.
[22:27] <daftykins> pedrocr: really? what about the whole .config ? rename it to .configold
[22:27] <krabbe> Jordan_U: Thank you for the input. How confident are you that it’s a HW issue? (the USB stick is sitting some 400 km away 20 meters into the air :(
[22:28] <daftykins> libman: i think you've just done something wrong with all your attempts so far, because the intel graphics alone should work just fine
[22:28] <Jordan_U> libman: You specifically tried "mplayer -vo=gl"?
[22:29] <speedy__> Jordan_U, llldino bekks daftykins, thank you  guys for your help!
[22:29] <pedrocr> daftykins: I lose the settings (e.g., screen background changes) but it's still broken
[22:30] <Jordan_U> krabbe: Very confident. Possibly just a bad USB cable. You could try checking the drive with smartctl on the very small chance that it's a thumb drive that supports S.M.A.R.T. . Also check dmesg, and maybe test the drive with badblocks.
[22:31] <pedrocr> .xsession-errors shows at-spi2-registryd respawning too fast and being killed
[22:31] <KaiForce> I don't think smartctl works over a USB controller...  Don't quote me on that though.
[22:32] <gama_> hola
[22:32] <k1l_> KaiForce: actually depends on the usb controller. but most dont
[22:33] <KaiForce> Cool, I've never run into one that does, but I wasn't certain they didn't exist.
[22:33] <krabbe> Jordan_U: I cannot get smartctl to work. badblocks is running now. dmesg reports a number of errors during a load-triggered crash. E.g. : “JBD2: Error -5 detected when updating journal superblock for sdb1-8.”
[22:33] <libman> Forcing gl output in any player results in no video at all.
[22:34] <KaiForce> krabbe: will you have to go there if it is dead?
[22:34] <krabbe> yes :(
[22:35] <anabain> I want to make a bash script at the server side aware of the current url the client dolphin app is at in order to be able to decide from that script if the dir is under an nfs mount (client is using autofs). In that case, the script will kill that dolphin instance. This, combined with previous identification on nfs files via lsof -N and proper handling of them, will avoid the client hanging. Any ideas? It seems there's no qdbus way to
[22:35] <anabain> get the current url for dolphin, so I need another approach.
[22:35] <krabbe> KaiForce: Therefore I’m highly appreciating you help with understanding/confirming if it is a hardware issue.
[22:36] <daftykins> sounds better for ##networking and #bash
[22:36] <daftykins> badblocks is a big fat waste of time :)
[22:36] <KaiForce> I agree with Jordan_U, it sounds like hardware.
[22:36] <daftykins> oh that was the flash drive thing, mmm
[22:37] <pedrocr> wow, this is really annoying
[22:37] <pedrocr> I've now nuked /tmp/* and ~/.ICEauthority and ~/.Xauthority with no change
[22:37] <daftykins> pedrocr: what about the .config rename i mentioned?
[22:38] <daftykins> you should also stop lightdm whilst doing this
[22:38] <pedrocr> daftykins: I replied to that, it didn't change anything
[22:39] <daftykins> pedrocr: ah, didn't see.
[22:43] <pedrocr> daftykins: ah, seems like my dconf got corrupted
[22:43] <pedrocr> daftykins: moving ~/.config/dconf/user out of the way fixes it
[22:43] <pedrocr> daftykins: so I guess moving .config to .config.old wasn't complete
[22:43] <pedrocr> it was probably not enough to do that without restarting lightdm

[22:49] <RedPenguin> well for some reason on my Ubuntu 14.10 PC, which has 2 3.0, if you plug drives into them, sometimes they disappear and it seems the ports will not work again until reboot
[22:50] <rocky> @daftykins sorry, I had to go for a while. the command that you asked me to enter. I did it and pastebinit should be installed however for some reason it didn't grep virtual
[22:50] <RedPenguin> They really stopped workjing when I tried to copy data between two 3.0 drives

[22:56] <libman> Trying to get Nvidia working on Ubuntu might be the world's #1 cause of mass-murder.
[22:56] <TJ-> krabbe: how confident are you the device isn't a fake. Some of those symptoms sound like typical fake-device-is-smaller-than-it-claims-to-be issues due to wrap-around (e.g. sector 0 is also sector 64MiB) that will overwrite the early sectors as the device fills up
[22:56] <avoider> Thanks for help ill be back after
[22:57] <libman> I've been tinkering with it for 2 days, and I want the world to feel my pain.

[23:00] <OerHeks> czwolf, mono got a wiki http://www.mono-project.com/archived/guiderunning_mono_applications/ what happens when you try to run the app ?
[23:00] <TJ-> libman: try installing a default flavour onto an external (e.g. USB mass storage device), or into a separate LV, as a test; if you get problems with that they can be debugged and results transferred back to the customised install
[23:00] <nacc> RedPenguin: is it possible the devices are erroring out? also, are you running latest BIOS/have appropriate settings on in BIOS, etc
[23:00] <czwolf> Oerheks thank you going there to look
[23:01] <rocky> daftykins: telling me to use netcat?
[23:02] <libman> OK, let's forget proprietary drivers.  I'm going back to xorg default (which seems to be the open source intel driver).  Can we figure out a way to get any player to scale the video to full screen, I don't care if my CPU explodes?
[23:03] <Bray90820> How would I block SSH access to my ubuntu box?
[23:03] <protn> hi folks how can I open .ssh dir via leafpad/
[23:03] <TJ-> Bray90820: firewall
[23:03] <protn> it does not shows there by default
[23:04] <daftykins> rocky: ugh. "apt-cache policy virtualbox-guest-dkms" then put that in a http://paste.ubuntu.com and link here
[23:04] <TJ-> protn: 'show hidden files/directories' option, or type the path manually
[23:04] <OerHeks> Bray90820, all  SSH access?  don't run a ssh service
[23:04] <dotpixis> why is my software update wanting to install a chromium browser update; i don't have chromium-browser!
[23:04] <protn> TJ where will I find show hidden files option? its not in leafpad itself
[23:05] <Bray90820> SSH is enables right now but I wanna disable it
[23:05] <czwolf> OerHeks Looked to there and saw the info how to run mono program. I run some already. That is not a problem. This program asks me to be run as service. I am trying: mono-service -l:Corrade.exe.lock Corrade.exe As a response I am getting silence. Nothing happens.
[23:06] <qu4nt1n> !s pdf
[23:06] <daftykins> dotpixis: in a terminal what does "dpkg -l | chromium" return? chromium-browser with "ii" beside it? then you do :)
[23:06] <rocky> daftykins: I would but cannot copy and paste as I am stuck in a terminal before any kind of GUI.
[23:06] <daftykins> Bray90820: if you're behind a home router you would need to port forward
[23:06] <daftykins> rocky: blech, ok well run it by hand and state what the URL is it outputs
[23:07] <Bray90820> daftykins: so just unforwered the port?
[23:07] <TJ-> Bray90820: you want to totally disable the sshd service itself? "sudo systemctl disable sshd"
[23:07] <dotpixis> daftykins: "$ dpkg -l | chromium"
[23:07] <dotpixis> chromium: command not found
[23:07] <daftykins> dotpixis: oops sorry "dpkg -l | grep chromium"
[23:07] <TJ-> !info chromium-browser
[23:08] <Bray90820> TJ-:  Yes it seems I have some SSH attacks coming from china so I am just gonna disable it altogether
[23:08] <OerHeks> dotpixis, i had those libs too in updates, not sure it will be used by other browsers/apps
[23:08] <dotpixis> daftykins: ii  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra                47.0.2526.73-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1106      amd64        Extra ffmpeg codecs for the Chromium Browser
[23:08] <JayF> I'm working on building a cloud-style Ubuntu 14.04 image that can work on both RAID(md) and non-RAID hosts. I have everything working except /dev/disk/by-label/root is pointing to sda1 (a member of the raid) as opposed to md126p1 (the actual raid partition that should be root)
[23:08] <JayF> when/what populates /dev/disk/by-label/ during boot? udev?
[23:08] <daftykins> dotpixis: looks like you didn't see the browser then
[23:08] <libman> Can anyone suggest a way to get any player to scale full screen?!
[23:08] <TJ-> Bray90820: that'll prevent you connecting to it remotely yourself
[23:08] <Bray90820> TJ-: I don't really do that anyways
[23:08] <libman> I tried all command line argumens for mplayer and vlc.
[23:08] <dotpixis> daftykins: i haven't installed chromium
[23:08] <rocky> daftykins: everything in the output looks fine. the one which I have installed after installing ubuntu is a kali package for testing my home network.
[23:08] <TJ-> Bray90820: usually better to use a selective firewall rule, or allow access to the sshd service only over a VPN
[23:09] <protn> TJ-: any ideas?
[23:09] <protn> :D
[23:09] <daftykins> rocky: i'm asking for the URL in it, it might look fine to you but i'm trying to find out where it's getting it...
[23:09] <protn> maybe I need another text editor :D
[23:09] <Bray90820> TJ-: If I don't connect to it anyways then it there a need to leave it enabled
[23:09] <dotpixis> i guess i'll install it and run a packet caputre after for a while
[23:09] <TJ-> protn: I have no idea; I don't use leafpad, but most GUI file dialog choosers have the option
[23:09] <protn> cool
[23:09] <daftykins> rocky: now would be a great time to own up if that VM is really kali and not ubuntu
[23:09] <rocky> daftykins: alright one sec I will try my best to write it out in pastebin
[23:10] <daftykins> Bray90820: instead you should've reconfigured SSHd to use a different port # and maybe use fail2ban
[23:10] <daftykins> rocky: it's one line so here is fine
[23:10] <TJ-> Bray90820: yes, generally I leave it available internally in case the GUI fails and I need to find out why
[23:10] <TJ-> Bray90820: but, if that PC is behind a router/NAT then it shouldn't be receiving external connections at all anyhow
[23:11] <Bray90820> TJ-: systemctl: command not found
[23:11] <TJ-> Bray90820: what Ubuntu release is that?
[23:12] <Bray90820> TJ-: ubuntu 14.04
[23:12] <rocky> daftykins: Its unclear to me as there is a few packages listed.
[23:12] <crispy_beef> Jordan_U, here is the pastebin link....  http://pastebin.com/vPRyYMPp
[23:13] <TJ-> Bray90820: ahh, no systemd. so "echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/ssh.override"
[23:13] <daftykins> rocky: tell me what "cat /etc/issue" and "lsb_release -a" speak of then
[23:14] <Bray90820> TJ-: So after I enter that is it disabled?
[23:15] <rocky> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/CPs2cT9z
[23:15] <TJ-> Bray90820: no; that disables it from starting automatically at boot. To stop it now "sudo service sssh stop"
[23:16] <JFlash> hi, where can I get help diagnosing my connection, I can only load a few websites... all others fail
[23:16] <JFlash> wifi
[23:16] <TJ-> Bray90820: correct my typo, 'sssh' should be 'ssh'
[23:16] <Bray90820> I did :P
[23:17] <rocky> daftykins: cat /etc/issue gives me kali GNU 2.0 and...
[23:17] <TJ-> JFlash: I notice your IRc client is using IPv6, maybe the system is not configured to dual-stack with IPv4 as well?
[23:17] <Bray90820> TJ-: So am I all good now?
[23:18] <rocky> daftykins: yeah same thing its giving me the kali package?
[23:18] <daftykins> rocky: yeah so this sounds like a VM of kali linux and not ubuntu.
[23:18] <JFlash> TJ-, wow, yr good!.. however I have the same problem in 2 machines,... the other is running macosx
[23:18] <TJ-> Bray90820: well, check the status of the service to ensure it is stopped: "service ssh status" I think it is
[23:19] <JFlash> TJ-, it could be the reason but i havent updated neither of the machines and the problem started 2 days ago
[23:19] <rocky> daftykins: what? I have been using the same VM multiple times. Not sure how to be honest
[23:19] <TJ-> JFlash: possibly your ISP/router config? I know mine has the option in the ISP connection settings (PPPoE) to use IPv4 only/IPv6 only/IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack
[23:19] <JFlash> chech this out:
[23:19] <JFlash> --- yahoo.com ping statistics ---
[23:19] <JFlash> 199 packets transmitted, 10 received, 94% packet loss, time 198003ms
[23:20] <TJ-> JFlash: was that using 'ping' or 'ping6' - try both; compare
[23:20] <TJ-> JFlash: 'ping' uses IPv4 by default
[23:20] <JFlash> TJ, the router is shared for all betrooms here... so hard for me to do anithing other than to turn it on, off, which I did
[23:20] <JFlash> that was ping.. I did not even know ping6 existed... will try
[23:21] <daftykins> rocky: try this "sudo apt-get purge --reinstall virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11"
[23:21] <rocky> daftykins: ok
[23:21] <TJ-> JFlash: packet loss, if confirmed, is most likely due to a fault in a router on the path from you to the destination. Use 'tracepath' and 'tracepath6' to test those
[23:23] <JFlash> this is the result from ping6
[23:23] <JFlash> -- yahoo.com ping statistics ---
[23:23] <JFlash> 54 packets transmitted, 47 received, 12% packet loss, time 94375ms
[23:23] <rocky> daftykins: looks like that is finished.
[23:23] <daftykins> rocky: any errors?
[23:24] <daftykins> rocky: you do have 3D acceleration enabled in the VM properties, yes?
[23:24] <protn> TJ-: well I have installed gedit same stuff, which gui editor u use?
[23:24] <daftykins> shutdown and check
[23:24] <JFlash> TJ-, if not packet loss, what could it be:
[23:24] <Bray90820> TJ-: Unknown job: ssh
[23:24] <protn> thing is in nano i can select all text somehow
[23:24] <JFlash> ?
[23:24] <protn> for copy paste
[23:25] <JFlash> TJ-, is there any sort of flush-ip-tables  type of command that I can run from the command prompt:
[23:25] <TJ-> JFlash: well, you've provved packet-loss using ping; now to determine if it is inside or outside your own network with tracepath/6 ... if inside, possibly interference on the Wifi's channel
[23:25] <rocky> dafykins: no errors but can't really read the full terminal. Not sure if it was done correctly. as the previous lines when removing and purging the virtualbox files
[23:25] <rocky> daftykins: ^
[23:25] <TJ-> JFlash: you mean "ip{,6}tables -F" ?
[23:25] <IMeasureYou> If u wanna uninstall it
[23:25] <IMeasureYou> sudo apt-get purge openssh-server
[23:26] <IMeasureYou> or sudo apt-get remove openssh-server
[23:26] <RedPenguin> nacc: afaik it's the latest BIOS, it just seems the file cop between the drives stops and both drives disappear and nothing is seen on the USB 3 ports until a reboot
[23:26] <daftykins> rocky: reboot then.
[23:26] <rocky> daftykins: no 3D or 2D acceleration is enabled
[23:26] <TJ-> Bray90820: so it wasn't running, which is what you expected
[23:26] <Bray90820> TJ-: Thanks
[23:26] <anabain> I want to make a bash script at the server side aware of the current url the client dolphin app is at in order to be able to decide from that script if the dir is under an nfs mount (client is using autofs). In that case, the script will kill that dolphin instance. This, combined with previous identification on nfs files via lsof -N and proper handling of them, will avoid the client hanging. Any ideas? It seems there's no qdbus way to
[23:26] <anabain> get the current url for dolphin, so I need another approach.
[23:26] <daftykins> rocky: enabling 3D would make sense
[23:27] <daftykins> power it off and do that
[23:27] <nacc> RedPenguin: hrm, weird ... seems like a hw glitch at that point, if the kernel isn't emitting any logs in dmesg
[23:27] <rocky> well I'm pretty sure I haven't changed the settings anytime recently. give me a sec
[23:27] <daftykins> rocky: no but i'm telling you how it should be :)
[23:27] <protn> daftykins: hey do u know any way to access .ssh dir with some gui text editor
[23:27] <protn> I have tried gedit yet to work
[23:28] <protn> I want to copy paste my public key :D
[23:28] <TJ-> protn: are you aware of 'ssh-copy-id' tool?
[23:28] <protn> no
[23:28] <daftykins> you access files with text editors, not folders
[23:28] <protn> I love gui
[23:28] <TJ-> protn: "man ssh-copy-id"
[23:28] <protn> why so  complex
[23:28] <protn> hmm
[23:28] <rocky> daftykins: ok I enabled 3d acceleration booted up again and same low graphics error
[23:29] <protn> TJ-: I use nano it does not select all text
[23:29] <protn> hence I need gui editor :D
[23:29] <TJ-> protn: nothing complex about it; it copes with a lot of combinations. For the default RSA key its as simple as "ssh-copy-id [user@]remote"
[23:29] <protn> copies to where?
[23:29] <protn> I need actual text to copy paste into webserver CP panel
[23:30] <protn> lol
[23:30] <TJ-> protn: "user@remote" - the remote host you want the key installed on
[23:30] <protn> i cant launch instance before I do that
[23:30] <protn> remote host wont launch unless I first paste key
[23:30] <TJ-> protn: ok, so why not just "cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
[23:30] <protn> oki
[23:30] <protn> indeed
[23:30] <protn> forgot about cat :D
[23:30] <protn> ty
[23:30] <anabain> btw, I'm using 15.10
[23:31] <rocky> daftykins: whats also annoying is that when select the options after accepting that the system is in low graphics mode is that I cannot select any of the options to troubleshoot or reconfigure. The default is to run in low graphics mode for one session and when It tries to do this it just stays and that black screen which means the only real way of
[23:31] <rocky>  resolving it is to use the terminal ctrl shift F1
[23:32] <daftykins> why can't you? tabbing and enter should work
[23:35] <daftykins> rocky: what does "sudo modprobe vboxdrv" do?
[23:36] <rocky> says vboxdrv not found
[23:37] <holdsworth> is there a way(1 command line) to list all of the files including files in directories in a recursive way and their bytes?
[23:37] <TJ-> holdsworth: their bytes?
[23:38] <holdsworth> TJ-: their size in bytes
[23:38] <TJ-> holdsworth: "find /path/to/dir -type f -execdir stat -c %s {} \;"
[23:38] <daftykins> rocky: "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms"
[23:39] <holdsworth> TJ-: amazing
[23:40] <holdsworth> TJ-: it doesnt list the path
[23:40] <TJ-> holdsworth: oh, you want that too?
[23:40] <holdsworth> yes
[23:40] <rocky> I bought the problem upon myself. What you should know is that the original problem was ubuntu hanging on the orange screen after login and so I went about to fix this problem myself. I opened up a file using vim or nano, and deleted a line which was like --gnome-session and after reboot I had this low graphics error. So using the terminal I put th
[23:40] <rocky> e line back in the file to see if that would resolve it and it didn't
[23:41] <rocky> daftykins: ^
[23:41] <mentalisto27> who knows a good weather application on ubuntu?
[23:41] <JFlash> hi, sorry I lost contact
[23:41] <holdsworth> TJ-: I wrote list files(I meant their names) I am sorry
[23:41] <daftykins> rocky: that doesn't make any sense to me
[23:41] <TJ-> holdsworth: this should do it "find /path/to/dir -type f -exec stat -c '%n %s' {} \;"
[23:41] <JFlash> TJ-, still there:
[23:42] <TJ-> JFlash: yes, no packet-loss here :)
[23:43] <daftykins> rocky: oh i see the full thing now, would've been nice to know that from the start... i give up. clean install that VM and discover the lovely function known as snapshotting
[23:43] <ams_> Anything I can check if my laptop speakers work fine but the headphones don't? I've tried to top couple of instructions on google (alsamixer, etc.) but they've not helped. I'm on an XPS 13 from a few years ago if that means anything.
[23:43] <ams_> 15.10
[23:43] <holdsworth> TJ-: and can I list their full path somehow?
[23:44] <TJ-> holdsworth: hmm, did %n only show the filename part?
[23:44] <holdsworth> TJ-: yes
[23:44] <JFlash> TJ-, http://pastie.org/10688254
[23:44] <JFlash> TJ-, a few other hops but all after that are no reply
[23:45] <JFlash> ends like this: Too many hops: pmtu 1500
[23:45] <JFlash>      Resume: pmtu 1500
[23:45] <TJ-> holdsworth: you didn't edit the line to be what I showed you in the 2nd command. It is "exec" not "execdir"
[23:45] <rocky> daftykins: don't really fancy coming to that conclusion but if you give up, I will probably have too..
[23:46] <TJ-> holdsworth: "execdir" changes to the target directory before running the command so 'stat' would only see the filename; "exec" uses the entire path so 'stat' will see (and report) it
[23:46] <daftykins> rocky: yeah i'm done.
[23:46] <JFlash> TJ-, btw, on the mac I can load yahoo.com but not here on ubuntu
[23:46] <daftykins> rocky: also playing with kali stuff taints any install in my opinion
[23:46] <rocky> daftykins: dammit
[23:46] <daftykins> run it itself and ask for help in their channel
[23:46] <holdsworth> TJ-: you are a bright guy, thanks
[23:46] <protn> rather simple question
[23:47] <TJ-> JFlash: that looks about right; you're getting as far as Yahoo. you'll find often that the ICMP types are often blocked at destinations to prevent denial of service attacks.
[23:47] <protn> how do I login via terminal to remote host using ssh cert I generated? I have already upload pub key via CP panel
[23:47] <protn> is it ssh:ip path to key?
[23:47] <teward> protn: depends on the SSH client you're using
[23:47] <JFlash> TJ but this is for 90% sites i go to man
[23:47] <TJ-> JFlash: try this on Ubuntu: "dig -t A yahoo.com" (IPv4) and "dig -t AAAA yahoo.com" (IPv6) and ensure both can resolve
[23:48] <rocky> daftykins: yeah its not good really installing packages for other distributions as nothing really works too good. but I'm sure that is not the problem in this instance
[23:48] <JFlash> TJ-, yahoo is an example , it's for evrything
[23:48] <teward> if CLI from an Ubuntu system, then it's: ssh -i /path/to/keyfile username@ip
[23:48] <teward> protn: ^
[23:48] <protn> teward: using terminal
[23:48] <protn> ubuntu 14.04
[23:48] <TJ-> JFlash: if one isn't resolving, and lets say IPv6 is the preferred local protocol, that could explain your issues
[23:48] <anabain> protn, ssh username
[23:48] <protn> lxterminal
[23:48] <teward> protn: ssh username@serverip
[23:49] <anabain> if you've copied keys that should suffice, if not, what teward wrote ^
[23:49] <daftykins> rocky: that's not my point :)
[23:49] <teward> protn: or if the key isn't stored in ~/.ssh, then: ssh -i /path/to/key/file username@serverip
[23:49] <TJ-> JFlash: generally if IPv6 is enabled it will be preferred, with fallback to IPv4, although it depends on the Ubuntu release and/or custom config
[23:50] <rocky> daftykins; what is your point then?
[23:50] <anabain> protn, I made a mistake, sorry: ssh servername  or   ssh servernameIP
[23:50] <protn> teward: key is uploaded to server via CO
[23:50] <meeeen> i need some help, im trying to install a game, but during the installation it freezes! what can i do?
[23:50] <daftykins> rocky: that i won't help with kali junk on anything.
[23:50] <holdsworth> TJ-: I dont want to remain dumb, so "find /path/to/dir -type f -exec stat -c '%n %s' {} \;" means - find in this specific path all the objects that are from the type of file and then execute the following command(stat) that takes -c (custom format) '%n %s' (name and size) {} \;(this part I did not understand)
[23:51] <JFlash> TJ-, but i'm having the same problems on the mac
[23:51] <protn> ssh server name works but how do I tell local host to supply key?
[23:51] <JFlash> TJ-, this is the result of the test http://pastie.org/private/csw52ng3j7rnf4xqhncmbq
[23:51] <TJ-> protn: you've transferred the default id_rsa.pub public key to the server; so just "ssh user@server.domain.com" or "ssh user@1.2.3.4" (IP address of server) will work
[23:51] <anabain> protn, if it works you're done
[23:52] <protn> TJ-: it does not work
[23:52] <rocky> daftykins: whats your reasoning behind thinking that kali is junk? :)
[23:52] <protn> yet to work
[23:52] <TJ-> protn: maybe there's a firewall blocking connections ?
[23:52] <daftykins> rocky: their packages when applied to ubuntu, read my sentences carefully or you'll get my meaning wrong
[23:52] <meeeen> fixme:win:FlashWindowEx 0x33d364
[23:52] <meeeen>  it shows this in the terminal what am i suppose to do to fix it?
[23:52] <daftykins> rocky: they make their own distro based on debian now, so maybe run that if you want it. then chat in their channel
[23:53] <protn> I uploaded pub.key via host CP panel - when I issue ssh ip it asks for password
[23:54] <TJ-> JFlash: that dig output looks good for that site. The packet-loss is the thing to focus on now. If ping{,6} is continuing to show dropped packets you need to find out (running tracepath{,6} if that is internal or external. If internal, then maybe WiFi interference. If external, a faulty router somewhere on the link. As it affects many sites, that'd suggest some router in or close to your ISPs network
[23:54] <k1l_> protn: restart the ssh server
[23:54] <protn> k1` I have to access remote box first to restart server
[23:54] <meeeen> can someone help me?
[23:55] <protn> or u mean to restart local machine ssh server?
[23:55] <JFlash> TJ-, there *must* be a simple explanation for this
[23:55] <JFlash> TJ-, washingtonpost.com doesnt load. facebook.com loads
[23:55] <JFlash> dammit
[23:55] <TJ-> meeeen: that's a message from WINE saying that method isn't fully implemented as yet
[23:55] <TJ-> meeeen: it's meant as a reminder to the developers
[23:55] <protn> ssh 167.114.xx.xx webstore
[23:55] <meeeen> but it still doing it
[23:56] <meeeen> TJ- can i do something or not?
[23:56] <rocky> daftykins: yeah but you can still install kali tools in ubuntu. I have a kali vm as well but it doesn't work anymore so I wanted to install ubuntu to get used to linux but at the same time, I wanted to use some security tools to test my host PC and network so I thought it would save time to just try and get the tools on ubuntu rather then set up a
[23:56] <rocky> new vm
[23:56] <protn> teward: normally how do you login to remote server with a key?
[23:56] <meeeen> TJ-: can i do something or not?
[23:56] <protn> which command do you use?
[23:56] <TJ-> JFlash: interestingly, "dig -t AAAA washingtonpost.com" doesn't return an IPv6 address either
[23:56] <teward> protn: plain old SSH from my desktop
[23:56] <TJ-> meeeen: no
[23:56] <protn> and syntax?
[23:56] <teward> protn: since I generate my keys, and have ssh-agent configured to test ALL my keys
[23:56] <protn> ssh ip keyname?
[23:56] <teward> protn: ssh -p 22 USERNAME@IP
[23:56] <daftykins> rocky: you're not telling me anything i don't already know, i just wouldn't support a machine with it on. cya :)
