[00:00] k1l_: Ok, I will then try the two versions of 3.13.0-55-generic [00:01] k1l_: Rammina Remote Desktop Client? [00:01] inferno: no no no no no [00:02] whats the available VM in the ubuntu software center...Not seeing it. Wasent it OracleBox? [00:02] bocephus_: virtualbox by oracle [00:03] inferno: click on the folder icon in the launcher bar. it should look like http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/new-nautilus-in-ubuntu.jpg [00:03] k1l_: When I did the regular version, it got me back into grub rescue again [00:03] ahhhh Im blind thanks nicomachus [00:03] nicomachus, your the man... or what ever you are. [00:03] CampSoup_Doctor: boot any kernel that will boot to a working system [00:04] CampSoup_Doctor: is this encrypted or lvm or such? [00:04] k1l_: alright [00:04] k1l_: only way so far is via live-cd [00:04] k1l_: its not encrypted [00:05] anybody here get their CompTIA Linux+ Cert? [00:05] inferno: "file browser". that is computer basics, right? i mean you do use such a thing on windows too. it look quite the same. please dont turn off your brain just because its labled linux. [00:05] !ot | bocephus_ [00:05] bocephus_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:06] k1l_: Yea sorry lol, I got it, I got to the connect server, so now just write the "ssh://user@serverip"? [00:06] got it will do. [00:06] inferno: but set user and serverip to match your setup [00:07] k1l_: Alright Im in [00:08] I just see a bunch of PGP keys [00:09] k1l_: i got the computer booted again in live-cd mode [00:09] probably form when I tried to get webmin earlier [00:10] CampSoup_Doctor: chroot into the install. then install linux-generic, or run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [00:10] k1l_: How to I chroot? [00:11] hola [00:12] !chroot [00:12] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [00:13] i cant find a good english chroot howto [00:14] shadaloo: Also as an avid gamer, I cant bring my self to only use Linux, not enough support, but dont get me wrong, I do think it is a great platform, and its also free, one if the many great things about it [00:14] k1l_: I wish you had one as the page you linked is a bit too technical for me [00:14] inferno: sure sure [00:15] inferno: I game too [00:15] inferno: but when im down I switch back to linux for regular stuff ;) [00:15] shadaloo: Dual boot or somethin? [00:15] I just installed xubuntu and now I can't install ssh-server. This is what I get when I run sudo apt-get install openssh-server Reading package lists... [00:15] Building dependency tree... [00:15] Reading state information... [00:15] E: Unable to locate package openssh-sever [00:15] Any ideas? [00:15] inferno: I run linux off a sandisk extreme pro [00:16] couldn't be happier [00:16] 220mb/s write [00:16] miner: "sudo apt update" [00:16] CampSoup_Doctor: see this answer http://askubuntu.com/a/28100/31260 [00:17] k1l_: Thanks, give me a moment to try it [00:17] I ran apt-get update and now I'm getting a lot of this -> Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com saucy/main Sources [00:17] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80] [00:17] Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com saucy/restricted Sources [00:17] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80] [00:18] And 'failed to fetch' errors. [00:18] My OS is on an SSD too, Apotop, 300 write 500 read [00:18] miner: scrap that install. load a actual ubuntu and isntall that [00:18] CampSoup_Doctor: Full Vhange root: from the liveDVD 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt - for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done - sudo chroot /mnt ' You are now in the install as 'root' .. now try an run k1l_'s commands . [00:18] miner: saucy is gone long time [00:19] I just downloaded this ISO from the Ubuntu site a few weeks ago? [00:19] miner: no [00:19] k1l_: So though the "Connect to server" I can only see files I have downloaded, how do I get to /var/www/ [00:19] ? [00:19] miner: it says saucy. that is not recent. that is old. [00:20] inferno: click on the path at the top [00:20] Thanks, I'll go take a second look. [00:20] inferno: or press "alt +up" [00:20] k1l_: Ahhhh thank you sooo much! [00:21] k1l_: But now theres a matter of transferring fliles, how? [00:21] should i expect any issues with this sound card in ubuntu trusty? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132052 [00:22] k1l_: I mean to the VM, and then to the server [00:24] can this be done: start a local app from a remote host (via ssh root@local ,etc.) before it is shut down *while* keeping the local app running? [00:25] anabain: can you explain a bit more? i'm confused when you say "before it is shut down" and what you mean by local app [00:25] anabain: I don't understand your question. What does "start a local app from a remote host" mean? [00:26] box a: target, the app has to be started here; box b: runs a script before it is shut down which starts the app on box a [00:27] Ben64, Jordan_U ^ [00:27] anabain: Yes, that can be done. What is your end goal? [00:28] k1l_: In the tutorial, step 4, I was getting message saying bash: /mnt:: No such file or directory [00:29] did you cops the : ? [00:29] Bashing-om: When I tried that, I got bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'do' [00:29] it's a bit long to explain, basically I'm making a script that prevent client hanging when the server is shut down. The server's nfs shares will cause a series of problems and annoyances, from freezing dolphin to hanging all the system. [00:30] Jordan_U, my script kills client's dolphin instances and then *restarts new dolphin instances*, that's where my questions arises... [00:31] CampSoup_Doctor: The complete command is ' for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done ' after the mount point is established . [00:31] Jordan_U, so, what then? [00:31] anabain: So the server being shut down is the NFS server which you have been asking about in previous questions here (IIRC), correct? [00:32] yes [00:32] I've managed to make it go_home dir through qdbus [00:33] anabain: Is the server rebooting for updates or shutting down for some other reason? [00:33] Jordan_U, but it isn't enough: unless you kill dolphin processes, trouble is simply a matter of time. [00:34] dolphin killing is illegal [00:34] Jordan_U, the "server" is not a "real" server actually. I'm just sharing files among my home boxes, so the "server" gets shut down arbitrarily, in a domestic sense, so to say, :) [00:35] hi people [00:35] i have a question about compiz [00:35] does someone use it? [00:35] drwxr-x---, don't worry, I'll manage, ;) [00:36] i want to set the cube [00:36] and other effects [00:36] hey [00:36] on ubuntu 14.04 mate [00:36] hey [00:36] hey [00:36] i did everything [00:36] martin1989: use ccsm to set the effects [00:36] yes i did [00:37] i set it all [00:37] hello [00:37] following a tutorial that i found on the internet [00:37] but it still doesnt work [00:37] whats going on here [00:37] i dont get it [00:37] whats your problem? [00:37] hey [00:38] hey [00:38] martin1989: a tutorial you found on the internet...do you think it'd be worth mentioning exactly what you did? [00:38] i need help [00:38] Jordan_U, any hints? [00:38] ! Ask [00:38] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:38] hey [00:38] i need help [00:38] my sound [00:38] martin1989: Ubuntu Mate doesn't use compiz by default, it uses Marco. So if you are still using Marco, then no changes to compiz's settings will matter. [00:39] i cant hear sound from my raspberry pi 2 running ubuntu mate 1.8.2 [00:39] I am having trouble upgrading my packages due to the following held back packages on 14.04.3: gcc-4.9-base gcc-4.9-base:i386 lib32gcc1 libgcc1 libgcc1:i386 can should i do? [00:39] help [00:40] TheEnderCreeper0: enough "help" now. [00:40] anabain: You'd need to setup ssh authentication via keys rather than password, as presumably you don't want this to need user interaction, and you'd also need to get systemd to run your ssh script before shutdown. I'm still not convinced that this is the ideal way to solve your original problem, though I don't remember your original problem with NFS and dolphin. [00:40] adoniscik: "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" [00:40] i cant hear any sound from my raspberry pi 2 running ubuntu mate 1.8,2 [00:40] it would be totally awesome if someone helped me figure out why my machine detects only two of three monitors, and displays video on none of them [00:40] maybe it is not the default window manager on ubuntu 14.04 [00:41] hey [00:41] and i have to change it so that it works [00:41] right? [00:41] can anyone help me [00:41] TheEnderCreeper0: beeing annoying is not going to make people help you. [00:41] hey anyone on [00:41] Hey people of the buntuverse [00:41] does kernel have something to do with mouse sensitivity? under ubuntu 14.04.3/lm 17/17.1/17.2, mouse sensitivity are fine... but under ubuntu 15.10 (haven't tried 15.04) and 17.3, mouse sensitivity is very sensitive... it feels like i have a cheap mouse [00:42] martin1989: did you read what was suggested? use ccsm. or say what exactly doesnt work. [00:42] drwxr-x---: you can adjust that in your system settings --> Mouse & Touchpad [00:42] hey [00:42] TheEnderCreeper0: just stop. [00:42] * AceOfSpades kill TheEnderCreeper0 [00:42] TheEnderCreeper0: The "hey", "help", "can anyone help me", etc messages don't bring us any closer to helping you with your question. Those commends do however clutter the channel, and make us annoyed and thus reduces our desire to help you. Don't post any more such useless messages unless you wish to be removed from the channel. [00:43] when can u help me' [00:43] > [00:43] nicomachus: but i can't make it work like the default on ubuntu 14.04.. is there such file in which i can replicate the mouse config from 14.04 to 15.10? [00:44] TheEnderCreeper0: Please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss your mute (you can no longer speak in this channel until you are unmuted). [00:44] * AceOfSpades kills TheEnderCreeper0 and throws him in a ditch [00:44] thanks, k1l_ i think that helped but i will have to investigate for a while [00:44] Jordan_U, the ssh part is already set up, as I said before. As for the problem, it is simple: shutting down the server causes freezing problems at the client on various degrees. [00:44] adoniscik: you need to run "apt full-upgrade" to install hold back packages [00:45] Jordan_U, the systemd part is already done, btw [00:45] Jordan_U, these parts work seamlessly. [00:46] k1l_: So I tried to edit the index.html file in /var/www/html/ but it says I dont have permission, anyway to fix it? [00:46] Hey. [00:46] hey [00:46] inferno: put your user(on the server) into the www-data group [00:47] I've been having a host of problems with my Linux distro, technical errors, etc. [00:47] I'd like if someone could help me troubleshoot them [00:48] I'll list them on a pastebin so I don't clog up the chat. [00:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14562876/ My problems. I am running Lubuntu 14.04 [00:51] LTS [00:51] still looking for help with my funky monitors [00:52] k1l_: Bashing-om: I got the following messages when I got to step 6 of the tutorial (Note: The beginings of the log got cut off due to the number lines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14562860/ [00:53] CampSoup_Patient: "read only file system" that looks like the harddisk is failing [00:53] CampSoup_Patient: what does "dmesg " tell? [00:53] can anyone help me with CairoDock? [00:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14562876/ My problems. I am running Lubuntu 14.04 And the following is my PC's make/model Acer Aspire ES1-512 [00:54] I would like if someone could help me :) === zenlot2 is now known as zenlot [00:54] k1l_: Bashing-om: BTW: CampSoup_Patient is the same person as CampSoup_Doctor, just that 'Patient' is the computer I am trying to fix [00:55] how do i output log directly into pastebin again? [00:56] CampSoup_Patient: "dmesg | pastebinit" [00:56] drwxr-x---: I've found mouse sensitivity to be annoyingly high as well. If you install the "lxinput" package and adjust the mouse from there, it will persist across reboots [00:56] k1l_: The hard drive is only a year or two old and the BIOS had a hard drive test, which my drive had passed [00:56] CampSoup_Patient: :) [00:56] Does anyone use the Genymotion Android emulator in Ubuntu 15.10? [00:57] hey' [00:57] promet [00:57] It works well but the sound is totally borked. [00:57] TheEnderCreeper0, Heya [00:57] I am wondering if there is someway to clean it up [00:58] CampSoup_Patient: its hardware. it fails. if there was a rule/law when it is to fail everything would be a lot easier. ubuntu puts read-only mode when there are issues. and issues come from hardware issues [00:58] CampSoup_Patient: "your command" | pastebinit [00:58] It uses Vboxheadless for umulation [00:58] emulation that is... =D [00:59] CampSoup_Patient: assuming that you have pastebinit installed [00:59] drwxr-x---: Yeah, I had to install it [01:00] k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14562956/ === tomaz is now known as Guest70463 [01:01] CampSoup_Patient: well, that looks like issues with the disk, to mee [01:02] (14.04) I've downloaded nodejs from the Debian PPAs. When I type node --version I get v0.10.35. When I type nodejs --version I get v4.2.4. It's messing up my npm install commands because I get "wanted: {"node":">=0.10.40","npm":">=2.0.0"} (current: {"node":"0.10.35","npm":"1.4.28"})" warnings. Or does nodejs v4.x not have npm v2.x? [01:02] CampSoup_Patient: what was the overall issue? maybe that was caused by the bad disk === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [01:03] k1l_: I booted the computer and got GRUB recovery with a message saying it cant read/write to 'hd0' [01:04] yeah, that sounds like a bad disk [01:04] i need help look matplayzmcpe@matplayzmcpe-desktop:~/android-sdk-linux/tools$ ./android [01:04] SWT folder '/home/matplayzmcpe/android-sdk-linux/tools/lib/arm' does not exist. [01:04] Please export ANDROID_SWT to point to the folder containing swt.jar for your platform. [01:04] matplayzmcpe@matplayzmcpe-desktop:~/android-sdk-linux/tools$ [01:05] CampSoup_Doctor: is the cabeling ok? [01:05] k1l_: from the research i initially did, it had sounded like that grub had gotten corrupted [01:06] k1l_: Ill check it in a few minutes, that might be a possibility. I had cleaned out my computer a week or so ago, when I tried to boot it afterwards, it said that it did not detect a hard drive, so i checked the cables, and I hadnt used it again until today, because my monitor fried when I re-hooked up the computer [01:09] kll, what is the command or method that, from box B, allows me to run a process on box A bearing in mind that this command will be run on box B just before it is shut down *and* the process on box A must be kept running? (Assume that the ssh root connection is set up and that the systemd service is enabled; only the command part is needed, if it's possible to do it, of course) [01:09] k1l_: I did it! I am finally able to do what I wanted to do! All I need now is VrtualBox additions so I can drag and drop files between my OS and the VM [01:10] k1l_, btw, this command will be part of a shutdown script [01:20] k1l_: One last question, how do I copy the files from lets say desktop to the server? I tried cut and paste but it didint seem to save [01:22] hey [01:22] how to add new app icons to CairoDock's stack applet without orignal app icons being replaced by a generic system one (am using Xubuntu 14.04 with Cairo 3.3.2)? [01:24] i need help with installing android studio on ubuntu mate,its telling me please export the android_swt file for your platform,but idk where to get the files at all. [01:24] k1l_: I just checked the cables and restarted, got a message under Ubuntu logo saying it deteced errors, press f to fix, s to skip, or m for manual recover, I chose F, and then got a message saying that it couldn't detect /temp, to wait, skip mount, or manual recover [01:25] k1l_: the computer restarted on the last screen while typing the previous message and it booted without the live-cd!! [01:31] HEY [01:33] I NEED HELP WITH ANDROID STUDIO ON UBUBNTU MATE,I NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GET THE ANDROID_SWT FILES FROM. [01:33] TheEnderCreeper0: stop shouting. what tutorial are you following? [01:33] LET ME GET A YOUTUBE URL READY [01:34] TheEnderCreeper0: stop shouting. :ast request. [01:40] CampSoup_Doctor: ok. now run the updates and make sure not to touch the cables again :) [01:42] k1l_: Ok, in the process of installing boot-info onto the actual computer (without the live-cd) so you could look it over to make sure everything is alright. Should I do anything about all the kernals my computer seems to have collected? [01:42] CampSoup_Doctor: will go afk in short time. [01:43] k1l_: Ok [01:43] CampSoup_Doctor: run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" then "sudo apt install linux-generic" that will make sure all latest kernels and updates are insatlled. [01:44] k1l_: here is the boot-info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14563421/ [01:44] CampSoup_Doctor: then do a "sudo apt-get autoremove" if there are still old kernels in "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" then remove that packages of that old versions with "sudo apt-get remove packagename" [01:45] need to run now. bye [01:45] ok [01:45] Thanks for all of your help! [01:52] got a question about software RAID I’m hoping someone can help me with [01:52] I have 3 drives - 2x2TB and 1x4TB [01:53] k1l_: One last question, how do I copy the files from lets say desktop to the server? I tried cut and paste but it didint seem to save [01:53] I’m planning on partioning the 4TB to 2x2TB partitions, one will be in the RAID 5 array, the other I wanted to use for media (that I don’t need in the RAID array) [01:53] is it dangerous to have a drive that has two partitions, one used for raid and one not? [01:54] k1l_: i didn't even see the shouting lol i have scripts that auto convert it to lowercase :D [02:04] is it safe to use 1 partition of a drive for software raid 5 and another for regular storage? [02:04] anyone here ever setup pgp server on ubuntu? [02:07] trying to do $ chmod 700 .ssh but it stays 644 [02:08] on 15.10 [02:09] did you specify the directory? [02:09] it is a directory, do you mean ~/.ssh? [02:10] chmod -R 700 .ssh [02:11] what's the R mean [02:11] recursive [02:11] o right [02:12] run a ls -la after to make sure the permissions was set properly [02:12] thanks that does it; they should put that in the help.ubuntu.com where I found this [02:13] np [02:13] just says chmod no -R [02:13] you can always run man page [02:13] for chmod? [02:13] any command [02:14] Yeah, that's ok, but what if I don't know about -R beforehand? [02:14] man "command" [02:14] use google [02:16] !man | sulfasal [02:16] sulfasal: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [02:17] Hi there.. just installed newest version of lubuntu. I've installed squeezeplay and it needs libsvga1. I tried 'apt-get install libsvga1' but it can't find the package... anyone know where I can get it? [02:17] lol, I've known about man pages since the jurassic era. But it's hard when one does not know what one is searching for before searching for it ;) [02:18] sulfasal: apropos/whatis can maybe help sometimes [02:18] I've got a rt18723be wifi card, and the google hits I see for sticking options rtl8723be fwlps=N ips=N in /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf don't work. When I modprobe -rv rt18723be I get Module rt18723be not found. [02:18] !info libsvga1 wily [02:18] Package libsvga1 does not exist in wily [02:18] Right.. so where can I get it? [02:19] !info libsvga1 trusty [02:19] libsvga1 (source: svgalib): console SVGA display libraries. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.4.3-33 (trusty), package size 281 kB, installed size 626 kB (Only available for linux-any; kfreebsd-any) [02:19] can people at least suggest what I should try to get the monitors working? [02:19] tj- would know what to do :( === gene_ is now known as malibu [02:21] I'm hoping I don't have to go back to ubuntu 14. [02:24] how about this: in ubuntu 15, how do i disable a boot service like lightdm? [02:25] Good evening. Somebody can help me testing tor chat? [02:26] Bashing-om: I'm not really sure what I was supposed to make of those two info lines.. [02:27] hi, how i check my current windows manager and desktop environment, using terminal [02:27] thank you [02:27] bob2017: " sudo systemctl stop lightdm.service " . [02:28] test123, for DE, please, try «echo $DESKTOP_SESSION» and say whether its output is useful [02:28] malibu: I was just checking if maybe the universe repo was a factor . not .. I have no solution to offer you . The package is not available in 15.10 . [02:28] hi, svetlana. First tie [02:29] Bashing-om: Ok so I guess this means that the squeezeplay player is now obsolete in ubuntu 15? [02:29] first time here, how i answer to you as twetter here, eg @svetalana [02:29] test123: type s, v, tab and it'll complete my nickname (without the @ is fine) [02:30] test123: no need for @, you can just type the name. you can also just type the first couple letters then hit [TAB] [02:30] test123: Both ' echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ' . [02:30] bashing-on - won’t it still try to start on the next boot? [02:31] malibu: What response do you get feom the repo query ' apt-cache show ' ? [02:31] I tried an apt-cache search... didn't find it [02:32] bob2017: You want to boot to terminal rather than the GUI ? [02:32] bashing - yes [02:32] and the kernel command line isn’t working [02:32] I just downloaded the .deb manually and it seems to have installed after I did apt-get install libx86-1 [02:32] going to see if the player starts up [02:32] svetlana: nicomachus Bashing-om thank you [02:33] you're welcome, test123; have you got the WM using the above or not yet? [02:34] bob2017: Boot parameter " systemd.unit=multi-user.target " in the file '/etc/default/grub' . [02:34] xfce, $DESKTOP_SESSION & XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP svetlana [02:34] bashing-om i’m not using grub. [02:34] does sync command also work on remote files? I mean, if in box A, which has opened rw files from box B, a sync command is run, will this have any effects on files from box B? [02:34] Hello! I am attempting to use a shuttlepro2 with Ubuntu 14.04, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do this. There does not appear to be a driver listed for it, but I am hoping that someone may know a way around this. Thank you! [02:35] bob2017: Not an ubuntu issue ? As grub is the bootloader for 'buntu . [02:35] Bashing-om: Strange.. so that worked. Any idea why the library would have been left out of the repository for wily? [02:35] bashing-om grub is not the only way to load ubuntu. [02:36] test123: excellent :) welcome to freenode and the ubuntu channel and stuff, too [02:36] bob2017: Truem there are many bootloaders around . None other for buntu that I have used . [02:36] test123: (you're welcome to stay here to help others, to come and go when you like, and to explore other channels) [02:37] bashing-om so you don’t know the answer. that’s ok. [02:37] svetlana: I ask the question because first i have ubuntu, then i used apt to install lubuntu and remove unity, also i installed xfce. Now i have a lot of things in my system, and for example, now i cant control the volumen [02:38] svetlana: with my function keys [02:38] test123, oh I see. you can't control the volume with your function keys. these are keys on the keyboard, right? [02:38] bob2017: Told you the answer. just adapt that boot parameter to the bootloader you are using ... the systemd command is universal . [02:38] svetlana: yes [02:39] svetlana: i read about xbindkeys, but i want a workaround with my systm === Sebastien is now known as Guest26795 [02:39] Bashing-om: I installed the .deb from http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/svgalib/ so the package still works [02:40] msg EriC^^ Hey are you at your keyboard? [02:40] svetlana: not a script [02:40] llldino: hey [02:40] test123, okay, see if this works: « go to Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts and add three shortcuts for your function keys. The commands should be: «amixer set Master 5%+ », « amixer set Master 5%- », «amixer set Master toggle» .» https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=513131#p513131 [02:40] is there no ubuntu 15 equivalent of the old pattern to add or remove a daemon from a runlevel? [02:40] EriC^^, Hey, so I was able to boot my live cd into UEFI mode, how again do I make it so grub will install UEFI mode? [02:41] add /boot/efi to /etc/fstab [02:41] svetlana: thank you for your help. Currently im working with a lxde session and i cant find the keyboard shortcuts === Guest26795 is now known as Sebastien [02:42] svetlana: but my DESKTOP_SESSION print xfce, but the icons a desktop is xlde [02:43] I don't want to put grub on the windows efi partition if I can avoid it, i'd just like to make the disk I have now uefi bootable if that's possible [02:43] If that doesn't work, then I can put grub on the windows boot part. [02:43] test123, upload a screenshot to www.imgur.com and maybe someone here can tell you what DE you are using -- that's odd [02:44] malibu: :) .. 'buntu ! where there is a will there is a way ... good job ! [02:45] Bashing-om: Yeah but what I'm trying to say is that it seems to be an oversight that this library was omitted [02:45] llldino: ok, try first using the windows efi partition, cause otherwise you'd have to remove the swap partition to create one on the linux disk [02:45] Alright [02:46] malibu: No idea how to bring that to the atttention of the MOTU . [02:47] test123, then the key bindings are up to the window manager, what window manager are you using right now please? lxde doesn't provide one [02:47] EriC^^, Okay done, Windows efi fat is mounted on /boot/efi [02:47] malibu: ^ A thought, maybe file a bug report against the package ? [02:47] llldino: wait a sec [02:47] llldino: are you in the live usb? [02:47] Bashing-om: Ok i'll look into it thanks [02:47] EriC^^, Not yet [02:48] hey [02:48] oh ok, boot into it [02:48] some body help me facebook chat on ubuntu gnome 15.10 [02:48] :( [02:48] EriC^^, I can't access irc because irssi doesnt support scrolling and dummy mode doesn't work [02:48] Bashing-om: I love lochitech media player. Not sure what I would do if it were suddenly obsolete. Don't think there is anything else like it out there. [02:48] So when I get in there, what should I run? [02:49] llldino: you don't have a gui? [02:50] llldino, No, I use the debian installer, not a live cd [02:51] Ah, just give me a sec i'll get another computer [02:51] svetlana: if i logout, how i find you again? [02:52] test123, you can come back to this chat and i'll still be here [02:52] test123, i might be away from keyboard intermittently so please don't hesitate to also ask others :) [02:55] svetlana: im working with tmux. Inside tmux (terminal) the echo $DESKTOP_SESSION print xfce, "outside" tmux, prints lubuntu [02:56] im my current desktop environtment is lxde svetlana [02:56] EriC^^: Okay gold, i'm booting into uefi on my installer now [02:56] so, in the lxde menu, i cant see the shortcut keyboard option [02:57] llldinot: ok [02:58] Heya. I'm still trying to find a way to get Windows 10 booting. Grub2 just boots back to the grub menu when I select Windows 10, and booting it in edit mode gives me an unkown error. [02:58] kinker31: did you disable secureboot? [02:58] * holdr slaps EriC^^ around a bit with a large trout [02:59] test123, ah tmux did something weird then, you're in lubuntu, what about xde var you also have? [02:59] test123, $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP outside of tmux [02:59] * EriC^^ slaps holdr with a whale [02:59] Yes, I disabled secureboot. [02:59] svetlana: LXDE [03:00] EriC^^: Okay got a shell, already ran mount -a [03:00] svetlana: current session: lubuntu, current desktop: lxde (outside tmux). [03:00] o_O okay, i would suggest to ask #lxde how to set keyboard shortcuts since the web says that lxde is not a window manager. or does «ps aux|grep wm» or «ps aux|grep openbox» return anything? [03:01] .l. [03:01] llldinot: you're in the live session's live usb right? [03:01] hi [03:01] i mean you didn't chroot yet right? [03:01] EriC^^: No I did chroot i'll get out [03:02] did you mount bind the virtual filesystems? [03:03] EriC^^: Err I had / in its own shell and I had windows fat mounted via that. Do you want me to mount root in the installer enviorment? Aren't they both the same? === rafa is now known as Guest70652 [03:03] no it's different [03:04] llldinot: do you have an internet connection on the live usb?

[03:35] no, it should expect /boot/efi/EFI/.. [03:35] EriC^^: http://paste.debian.net/366387/ [03:36] ok, the entry is there now [03:36] type exit [03:36] then try restarting [03:36] Okay [03:37] Yeah bby [03:38] EriC^^: How do I confirm it booted in EFI again? [03:39] svetlana: hi, i did what you said. Is not working yet [03:40] help my machine only recognizes two of my three monitors and doesn’t show video on any of them [03:42] bob2017: Wow, 3 monitors? Impressive. I only have 1 right now. [03:42] kinker31 - yeah they’re really sexy too. especially when they’re not blank [03:42] How come i cant blank my dvd-rw? [03:42] I got a error in braseo [03:43] llldinot: ls -l /sys/firmware/efi [03:43] Can anyone tell me the stable release of red5 for ubuntu? [03:43] EriC^^, Yes, efivars is now there [03:44] ok, your uefi doesn't have a problem booting linux files, that's great [03:44] llldino: now, type sudo fdisk /dev/sda [03:45] EriC^^, Great, no now I imagine I just repeat the steps without mounting /dev/sdb2 on /boot/efi right? [03:45] llldino: no, you need to create an efi partition on /dev/sda first [03:45] and use that instead [03:45] Ahh okay, what size? [03:45] 300mb [03:45] fat32, in gdisk the hexcode is ef00, in fdisk i think it's different [03:46] you can use smaller than 300mb if you want [03:46] EriC^^, I hate fdisk, Gparted is the only admin tool with a gui I use anymore [03:46] Is it fine I have a msdos table or should I change that as well? [03:46] llldino: use cfdisk , it's nice [03:46] well, i think msdos will work, i'm not entirely sure [03:47] if it doesn't you can convert easily and it's quick [03:47] EriC^^, I ought to change it but if I can put it off till later I will [03:47] yeah [03:50] EriC^^: Gotta get back to the live cd, give me a sec [03:51] EriC^^: 300 mb, vfat, efi flag right? [03:51] llldinot: you can do it from the current install [03:51] sudo swapoff -a [03:52] EriC^^: Damn good point, too late [03:54] ? [03:57] EriC^^: Everytime I add or remove a partition my swap uuid changes S: [03:57] EriC^^: And then systemd freaks out and I have to wait for a 2 min boot [03:57] llldinot: yeah [03:57] you need to comment it out in /etc/fstab [03:58] EriC^^: No swap at all? [03:58] EriC^^: Or just before I boot? [03:59] llldinot: just before booting [03:59] did you remove the swap and create the efi partition? [03:59] EriC^^, Alright, I got the 300 M fat32 partition, am I going to move all of /boot over and set the esp and boot flags? [04:00] no [04:00] ok, create a swap partition with the rest of the space [04:00] and then sudo mkswap /dev/sdaY [04:00] Rest of what space? [04:00] I already have a 20 GiB swap partition [04:00] llldino: how'd you create the efi partition? [04:01] Made a 300 MiB Fat 32 partition [04:01] didn't you delete it to create the efi one? [04:01] I shrunk my root down [04:01] ok [04:02] what did you mean about the swap partition changing earlier? [04:03] Ah nevermind, I shrunk my swap down and that's what changed the part number, it's all good now [04:03] ok, put the new uuid in /etc/fstab for both the swap and the new efi partition [04:04] Mount it on /boot/efi again? [04:04] yeah [04:04] And I remove the windows efi entry in fstab? [04:04] yeah just put the new uuid there for the new efi [04:05] instead of the windows one [04:05] EriC^^, Okay done, what flags do I need on the linux efi partition? [04:06] llldino: type sudo cfdisk /dev/sda [04:07] and change the type to EF [04:09] EriC^^, cfdisk is much nicer, done [04:10] llldino: ok, are you in the live usb right now? [04:10] No i'm not [04:12] hi [04:12] first time on IRC [04:12] hi evebody [04:12] very popular iC [04:12] hi maximus [04:12] llldino: ok, try mount -a and see if a new empty /boot/efi got mounted [04:12] sup ace [04:13] turned away from windows 8 and into ubuntu, so far i love it.

[05:27] lerner, oh you do not use 'chown' to check. the command I gave is a separate command. [05:28] test123, I think this should work after reboot too. if you like you can use program called 'kodi' to catalogue your music and videos. [05:28] svetlana: in irc, is possible to add friends :) ? [05:28] test123, maybe it is. what IRC client are you using? [05:28] svetlana: irssi [05:29] okay, I'll check [05:29] thx svetlana [05:29] svetlana: ill check kodi [05:30] test123, see '/help notify' for friends list in irssi, and please see site http://kodi.tv for more details about kodi (although it is rather intuitive and installing it from the Ubuntu repository just works too).

Sound works just fine, but my screen is cut off around the edges. [05:33] my second monitor doesn't seem to have the issue. [05:33] would love to use my tv monitor though. [05:34] hi all [05:34] hi al [05:34] all [05:35] hello hrobjartur! [05:35] Ok so in the ubuntu config panel there is a trademark name "Wacom" [05:35] instead of saying "pen device/touch device" config it says "wacom" config [05:36] can I rename an encrypted hdd? its name is the one from factory and is not easy to discern [05:36] does anyone know the motivation for Ubuntu ignoring other usb input devices "ISO" compliant devices? [05:36] kickstart configurator [05:36] I noticed there is clearly a logic in the "Wacom" config on ubuntu that intentionally rejects orther USB compliant pen devices [05:37] 1234:tcp,3306:tcp,12345:tcp <-- is this correct? separated by comma or by white space? [05:37] besides being probably a first linux distro to have a proprietary trademark as a configuration tool [05:38] is Wacom the company developing the config menu? could that be it? if so, they have maliciously rejected other usb pen devices [05:39] O(∩_∩)O~ [05:39] svetlana: don’t you want to help me with my monitors? [05:41] bob2017, hi. regarding lightdm it depends on your init system - which one are you using?. regarding monitors I use the DE settings menu or arandr program. [05:42] svetlana: Its ubuntu 15.04, so i guess systemdm, which I’ve never used otherwise. did you mean xrandr? xrandr always reports one “default” monitor, even when xorg.conf shows two were properly identified. [05:43] bob2017, systemctl disable lightdm [05:43] ok… any ideas for getting the monitors recognized? [05:44] svetlana: i just installed. But i cant find the quicklaunch icon [05:44] how do I rename an external hdd? [05:45] bob2017, interesting. how did you create xorg.conf? it usually is absent. [05:45] test123, it's peculiar. try to create the icon by hand and see if that works. [05:46] svetlana: by hand. there’s been a whole saga here. The monitors have only worked once, and I just can’t remember how i did it, except i’d unplugged two and plugged them in one at a time [05:47] svetlana: i got the idea that the time it worked, it may have been when i used an xorg.conf made with aticonfig to create a dual head configuraiton [05:47] svetlana: so i tried to make one by hand [05:47] okay. you made it work by hand, but you can't get xrandr to understand the fact. would you pastebin your config, please? [05:47] svetlana: well but xrandr was doing the same thing without the xorg.conf [05:47] but i can pastebin that, and i have like 4 sets of logs from boots in different configurations, so whatever you’d like :p [05:47] svetlana: in terminal, kodi dont work [05:48] bob2017, what if you remove xorg.conf and start xrandr again? mind, in xrandr you may have to move the monitor around a bit. by default they overlap and it looks as if there was only one. [05:48] svetlana: here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/14565379/ [05:49] svetlana: xrandr without the xorg.conf just says it found the one default monitor, and no video goes on. with the xorg.conf, its the same, but the log reports it finding two of the three monitors properly [05:51] svetlana: and here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/14565391/ note that it finds two of the monitors, then it finds the second monitor *twice*, or at least that’s what it seems [05:52] ##ubuntu is interested in supporting AmigaOS?

I install it but it doesn't create an /etc/vsftpd.conf file and when I try and connect to port 21 it says error 500: connection refused [07:08] sorry, the exact error is: 500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket [07:08] TAFB: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/185190/installing-vsftpd-500-oops-could-not-bind-listening-ipv4-socket [07:09] TAFB: You have no /etc/vsftpd.conf? [07:09] nope, it doesn't exist :( [07:09] TAFB: Is this the first time you're trying to install vsftpd? [07:09] yep! fresh seedbox [07:10] TAFB: Ok, go ahead and `sudo apt-get purge vsftpd`, then `dpkg -l | grep vsftpd` and see if anything shows up (it shouldn't) [07:10] i just tried "sudo apt-get install --reinstall vsftpd" and it completed, but no /etc/vsftpd.conf gile :( [07:11] ok, I'll try that! [07:11] ok, did that, dpkg -l | grep vsftpd shows nothing. [07:12] TAFB: Alright, good. Now, install vsftpd again (sudo apt-get install vsftpd), and then check if /etc/vsftpd.conf exists [07:12] could this be a firewall problem I wonder [07:12] OMG it's there! [07:12] that's crazy :) [07:13] :) [07:13] TAFB: Apparently a "fresh seedbox" isn't quite so "fresh". [07:13] haha. Now I have to turn on listen or something... I'll follow the rest of the steps and see how it goes :) [07:13] TAFB: Now, one question. What are you using ftp for on this box? [07:14] for bitkenic multiple ftp download streams, sftp says it doesn't support the correct encryption type :( [07:14] TAFB: Alright. I have no idea what half those words mean, but I'm glad your default was "use sftp/sshd" and this is a secondary. [07:15] BitKinex is a ftp download program for windows, multi-part, so you can max out your ISP even if they throttle :) === Saulo is now known as Guest55260 [07:25] Flannel: Working flawless now, thanks so much! [07:26] TAFB: No problem. `dpkg -l | grep rc` will show you the rest of the packages that were installed at one point and potentially won't install cleanly next time (you can purge them to get rid of the remnants) [07:27] what's the difference between "apt-get remove" and apt-get purge?? [07:27] I was always doing remove, didn't fix nothin [07:28] TAFB: Remove will keep the config files (and won't reinstall them the next time you install the package). Purge removes "everything" [07:28] ahhh, good to know! [07:29] I also had to set seccomp_sandbox=no but that was already in the seedbox instructions [07:29] TAFB: "wont reinstall" means your changes are safe, even if those changes are "totally break" the config or "remove [it] completely" [07:48] Hello. [07:50] I'm trying to use preseed with the 16.04 alpha netboot image, but it doesn't seem to work.

[09:03] Is there any utility that could continuously record all DNS queries being made from my system? [09:04] JinBaba: made *from*, as in everything that's sending a DNS query? [09:04] JinBaba: there's a couple of ways to do it; you could specify your own DNS server and log everything from a given host [09:04] yes [09:04] or you could just run tcpdump on the host with a suitable filter string [09:05] all dns resolve requests being made to the dns server by my pc [09:05] if you say "tcpdump port dns -w " it will capture all packets going to and from DNS [09:05] You can have tcpdump log all port 53 activity. [09:05] gordonjcp +1 [09:05] you can then read that file with wireshark [09:06] gordonjcp, I need something light and specific [09:06] JinBaba: I don't know what that means [09:06] tcpdump is [09:06] I've got a couple of 1kW floodlights, they're very specific and generate lots of light [09:06] that could be left running in the background and maintains list of all dns queries made categories by days of week [09:07] JinBaba: you'd have to work out how to split out the packet dump yourself thne [09:07] *then [09:07] it might be easier to run your own DNS and parse its logs [09:07] you're talking about a massive amount of data, potentially [09:08] how many dns queries an average home computer makes in a day? take a wild guess [09:08] thousands [09:08] easily thousands [09:08] hmm [09:09] try it yourself, do what I said with tcpdump, run it for an hour, and see how big the file gets in normal use [09:09] that's not massive, or is it? [09:09] depends [09:09] how heavily do you use Facebook? [09:09] gmail? [09:09] all the time [09:09] just about every element on the page is a DNS query... [09:09] I'm searching for something like this: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/dns_query_sniffer.html [09:10] I'm sure there would be some nifty utility for linux that i'm missing [09:10] so what you want then is wireshark, and use a similar filter string to what I said for tcpdump [09:10] if you want it in real-time [09:10] I'm pretty sure there isn't anything like that for Linux [09:10] Hey all, having an issue with Ubuntu 14.04 on an ~2012 vintage HP Laptop. Main Hard drive is OCZ-Agility3 SSD with 2 partitions: "/boot" and "/". Whenever I interrupt the bootup (holding power button) of an external device(Ubuntu on an external USB or Live-CD on a flash drive), I later find that my primary SSD's Ubuntu installation is messed up. Its symptoms are that USB ports don't work, PC won't shutdown or reboot without holding power button (hangs [09:10] at scrolling "ubuntu" screen), and it seems to mess with fglrx driver. It eventually fixes itself randomly after a certain amount of recursive uninstalls/re-installations of linux-image-3.13.0-xx-generic (whichever is current/in-use). How do I begin troubleshooting this? [09:10] there might be, but there are already better tools for doing it [09:12] gordonjcp, If I start sniffing with Wireshark with the dns filter, will it still capture all traffic or just dns? [09:12] I just want dns [09:14] JinBaba: you can do either [09:14] JinBaba: you can capture everything and then pick out the DNS traffic, or you can capture just the DNS traffic [09:16] can somebody pls help me find out what the memory of my graphics card is? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14566025/ [09:17] viktor_ try to also ask in ##hardware [09:17] gordonjcp, thanks for your help, I'll try tcpdump and wireshark and see how it works out for me.

[11:15] bazhang, yes [11:16] Hello [11:16] andrew, it's #kali-linux , bt is dead and so is 10.04 [11:16] I get the most awful screen tearing in 14.04 [11:16] is this likely to be improved upgrading to 15.10? [11:16] um. do you have any video drivers installed? [11:17] Gallomimia: the nvidia ones [11:17] what card exactly jophish [11:17] bazhang: 430m [11:17] yeah, it sounds like they're the wrong version or something [11:17] sorry, 750m [11:17] (hah, that's quite far off!) [11:17] well, that's not underpowered [11:18] this is on an external monitor over hdmi [11:18] although I get similar problems on the internal display sometimes [11:18] oh yeah? a tv of disreputable brand and price? [11:19] Gallomimia: nope, a samsung monitor which gets no tearing on another computer [11:19] May I ask a question [11:19] cause, i get that too. on a 320m, under mac osx. [11:19] on some tv's. not others [11:19] interesting. [11:20] Ah, I don't get any tearing when the monitor is at a normal orientationj [11:20] only when it's anticlockwise [11:20] ohhhhh [11:21] so, this now makes us ask, what's doing the rotation [11:21] Gallomimia: ubuntu is [11:21] as set in the "display" settings window [11:22] cause it's not doing it right. i'm at the end of my knowledge here, but is it being done by the gpu? broken drivers? who knows... [11:22] it sounds like something worth reporting [11:22] Where are you from? [11:23] jophish: you may want to try this to avoid tearing on a global level https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Avoid_tearing_with_GeForce_500.2F600.2F700.2F900_series_cards [11:24] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA#Screen_Tearing_with_Multiple_Monitor_Orientations This seems nearly right [11:24] although I'm only running one monitor [11:24] JinBaba: if it's a normal desktop install of Linux and you're not doing any mad server stuff with it, then all you really need to do is keep it updated [11:26] gordonjcp, I did exactly that until CSOC team at office started reporting C&C communication originating from my Ubuntu PC. [11:26] It has made me kind or paranoid. [11:30] JinBaba: sounds like bollocks to me [11:30] Any tips on software for Ubuntu like Microsoft Word? [11:30] JinBaba: and they know it's "C&C communication" how, exactly? [11:30] Bernzel: the libreoffice package [11:30] Bernzel: libreoffice [11:30] Thanks! [11:32] gordonjcp, No, it's not bullshit, as you have suspected. Their job is to actively monitor the network for sec issues and have Qradar SIEM in place. Besides I've seen the pcaps. [11:32] JinBaba: so, they're blisteringly incompetent, and don't recognise a false positive when they see it? [11:32] need help on realtek bluetooth 4.0 [11:34] gordonjcp, I fail to understand why we are debating their competency. The point is Ubuntu can get infected and I got to make sure I try my best not to get mine. [11:34] Bernzel, libreoffice writer [11:34] JinBaba: then what you need to do is keep it updated, and not run crazy stuff on it [11:35] Ok. I respect your advice. :) [11:35] hello world [11:36] i'm having trouble with launching my synaptics software manager. i also can't install new updates via the update manager [11:36] KZi, let's do a bit of command line work. open a terminal [11:37] okay [11:37] KZi, sudo apt update | nc termbin.com 9999 [11:37] that will return a url. paste the url here === helo_ is now known as Guest34227 [11:38] словяне ау [11:38] !ru | Guest34227 [11:38] Guest34227: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke.

[11:43] Bernzel, could be your /boot is full of old kernels. sudo apt-get autoremove [11:43] Bernzel: please show a "df -h" in a pastebin [11:43] !paste | Bernzel [11:43] Bernzel: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [11:44] k1l_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14566546/ [11:45] Bernzel, line 9 [11:45] Yes. It's full? [11:45] Bernzel: yes, /boot is full. do a "sudo apt-get autoremove" [11:45] So I should autoremove? [11:45] Bernzel, is this an installed system or USB session? [11:45] installed system [11:46] that should fix. remove older kernels [11:46] Running it now [11:46] Bernzel, yep. sudo apt-get autoremove usually removes old kernels === Tsunami is now known as Guest685 [11:46] got some errors on that. Posting... [11:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14566555/ [11:47] hi all [11:47] Bernzel: "ls -alh /boot" into a pastebin please [11:47] Bernzel, do you have an ubuntu bootable USB? [11:48] k1l_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14566564/ [11:48] the terminal says "no LSB modules are available" [11:48] cfhowlett, not at hand === m_A_y_A_t is now known as M_A_Y_A_T [11:49] Bernzel: uname -a? [11:49] its one line you cna paste that here [11:49] Bernzel, ! life-pro tip: ubuntu users should ALWAYS have at least 1 ubuntu USB nearby. I carry 2: a flat credit card type in my wallet and a gold USB around my neck. cuz when you need one, you really NEED one. as you do here. [11:50] k1l_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14566571/ [11:50] cfhowlett, damn. Something seriously broken or what? [11:50] KZi, cat /etc/issue | nc termbin.com 9999 [11:50] Bernzel, k1l_ asked for uname -a output please [11:50] I pasted it [11:50] "Linux benzel-MS-7693 3.19.0-42-generic #48~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 18 10:24:49 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [11:50] " [11:51] Bernzel, alternative 2 is to boot your USB, chroot to your ubuntu and manually remove the old kernels [11:53] Ehm.. So there's no other option than to boot a USB? [11:53] cfhowlett: you could also manually remove the files to free up enough space, without chrooting [11:53] Bernzel: "cd /boot" then "sudo rm initrd.img-3.19.0-31-generic initrd.img-3.19.0-32-generic initrd.img-3.19.0-36-generic initrd.img-3.19.0-37-generic" [11:53] is there no way to just rm some files in the /boot? i've done that before [11:53] yes. [11:53] like what k1l_ says [11:53] Nothing really happened with that command from what I can see? [11:54] hey , i changed the owner of all my filesystem to root, and now nginx , postgres uwasgi etc arnt working (probably because they run under their own users and have their own dirs and i destroyed all their setup) is there a way to recover from this? [11:54] Bernzel: If you get no feedback it means it went well [11:54] ah ok! [11:54] Now what? k1l_ [11:54] Bernzel, you can confirm with df -h again [11:54] 66% on boot now! [11:54] Bernzel: "sudo apt full-upgrade" [11:55] Bernzel: that should let the updates install now. after that we need to remove the old kernels [11:55] Hi, so I have a backup.tar.gz how do I update that archive without totally recreating it ? [11:55] Bernzel, sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove on a regular basis. [11:56] NeoFrontier: you can't update it while it is compressed. You have to decompress it, then you can append to the tar archive [11:57] from 15.04 on there is a working "remove old kernels" script. but for 14.04 that really is an issue. [11:57] Ok so let work with the tar uncompressed. What command do I issue to only update files and write in new ones ? [11:57] k1l_, Ok. It's finished with the upgrade now. === M_A_Y_A_T is now known as m_A_y_A_t [11:57] how do i recover from chown root:root -R ? [11:58] Bernzel: ok. now do a "sudo apt-get autoremove" and please show that if that removes all the old kernels or if we need to pic them manually [11:58] @ geirha [11:58] gener1c: you have backups? [11:58] k1l_, how do I see if it removed the old kernels? [11:58] nope [11:59] NeoFrontier: you use -r instead of -c [11:59] Bernzel: it is in the output [11:59] there is not much on that server bramgn === cpaelzer_afk is now known as cpaelzer [11:59] but i need the db for example [11:59] k1l_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14566617/ [11:59] its postgress [11:59] and i cant access it now [11:59] Bernzel: you can also: cat /var/log/apt/history to see what has been done recently [12:00] Bernzel: ok. wait a minute [12:00] geirha, what is the difference between -r an -u ? [12:00] and* [12:00] NeoFrontier: Ah, or -u, yes. You probably want -u [12:00] gener1c: do you have another postgress server running? If so, check permissions [12:00] uhu @ geirha [12:00] :) [12:00] -r will append the file regardless of it being changed or not [12:00] ok [12:01] NeoFrontier: See also archivemount as an alternative [12:01] !info archivemount | NeoFrontier [12:01] NeoFrontier: archivemount (source: archivemount): mounts an archive for access as a file system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.5-1 (wily), package size 25 kB, installed size 90 kB (Only available for linux-any) [12:02] gener1c: my guess is that the database directory needs to be set to the postgress user, check /etc/passwd for the right username, or, in case postgress is running, you could check under which user postgress is running [12:02] postgres [12:02] Bernzel: "echo $(dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p') $(dpkg --list | grep linux-headers | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\([0-9.-]*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/q;p') | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge" [12:03] k1l_, thats one and the same command right? [12:03] Hi [12:03] i'm new to ubuntu [12:03] Bernzel: after that do a "sudo apt-get install linux-generic" to be sure to have the latest kernel always installed. [12:04] and Have problems with wifi [12:04] that oneliner ... has room for improvement [12:04] Bernzel: that is one line, yes. it will remove all the old kernels and headers at once === Kijkek is now known as Maxona [12:04] !wifi | noise__ [12:04] noise__: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:05] gener1c: i understood you ran a chown -R root:root /, am i right? Then you'll most likely encounter more problems. So it would probably be best / easiest to reinstall the server [12:05] yeah [12:05] but i need the db dump [12:05] ok, tnx. And I have problem with Java Compiler [12:06] hello [12:06] I installed jdk. it works fine untill I tried to use Java Swings [12:06] k1l_, ok new kernels are installed. Anything else?

I've got 2x1920x1200 LVDS screens connected to 2 LVDS driver boards that have been programmed incorrectly. They don't report the full 1920x1200 res for each screen, they report much lower resolutions. If I force the resolution output, I can display whatever resolution I want. Unfortunately though, something is wrong with the settings generated by CVT, when I use these settings, the image on my 2 screens is grainy, there a [12:37] re artifacts and the pixels wiggle. What could be wrong? `cvt 3840 1200 60` produces xrandr --newmode "3840x1200_60.00" 386.75 3840 4104 4512 5184 1200 1203 1213 1245 -hsync +vsync ... I've tried +hsync, it helps a little bit only. [12:42] noise__: No PM's, ask your questions here in channel === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [12:48] Any ideas how to fix SD-card not showing up on 15.10? dmesg gives "error - 110 whilst initialising SD card" [12:49] tried installing exfat-fuse and exfat-utils [12:49] How can I construct one of these strings from an EDID mode offered by my monitor? (looks like this "3840x1200_60.00" 386.75 3840 4104 4512 5184 1200 1203 1213 1245 -hsync +vsync) I want to take the string from my monitor's EDID spec, I don't want to generate it from `cvt`. Anyone know how? (xrandr --verbose produces a lot of output but I'm not sure about what goes where, and if it includes all the details I need) [12:50] Afdla: was it properly unmounted on the other device? [12:50] can anyonehelp me building/compiling birdie which i cloned from github? [12:50] !ping [12:50] pong! [12:50] k1l_ well no, but it didn't show before trying on the other machine either [12:50] Afdla: could still be a broken sd card [12:51] Well yeah, if it broke after removing from the other computer [12:51] jons: i bet they have a readme or a howto install [12:51] I'll try it again on the other laptop [12:51] basically I want a similar string to what `cvt 1920 1200 60` produces, but I want to get the manufacturer recommended timing from my monitor's EDID. `xrandr --verbose` gives a lot of info but it's not in that format. [12:53] k1l_: i tried that. getting a "no rule to make target 'install' "error [12:53] k1l_ still works on the other laptop. Tried creating folder and txt file there but still can't open it on this one [12:54] used unmount before removing the card [12:54] Afdla: can you try another kernel in grub? [12:55] Lope: does "sudo /usr/bin/get-edid | parse-edid" give you anything useful on your monitor? [12:56] Sounds difficult. How? [12:56] Oh and this laptop where it doesn't work is 15.10 and the working one is 14.04 [12:57] Afdla: when you boot your ubuntu choose another kernel in grub [12:57] In the window with black background and white text? [12:57] jons: are you in the right folder? [12:57] Afdla: yes, that is grub [12:57] Ok, I'll try [12:58] k1l_: yes [12:58] im in the root folder of birdie [12:58] k1l_:i think thats the right folder...

And i want to learn building apps [13:02] jons: so did you install the depencies and then follow the instructions? http://www.birdieapp.eu/help#tocAnchor-1-1-3 [13:02] k1l_: booting to kernel 3.13 worked [13:02] now I can access the card [13:02] k1l_: yup [13:02] I will try again later on the 4.20 or what ever the newest version was [13:02] Afdla: then you might want to file a bug [13:03] followed the same page [13:03] Afdla: that sounds like a non-ubuntu kernel [13:03] I run Ubuntu 15.10 [13:03] Just uninstalled Unity and installed XFCE [13:04] Where should I report this bug? Linux kernel github or Ubuntu VCS or what?

Did it again and it did the same thing. Any way I could find out what's going on here? [13:14] RansomTime: check logs /var/log/ [13:15] RansomTime, update and upgrade your packages in the tty. Also which gpu are you running? [13:16] Nvidia, probably not installed drivers. Might that be the cause? [13:16] RansomTime: yes, nvidias open source drivers arent the best [13:17] RansomTime, could be , but usually nouveau works quite well as default [13:18] Driver manager says I can install processor microcode from intel and nvidia binary drivers. I'll try that [13:21] RansomTime, so you managed to get a desktop [13:22] Yeah, desktop was fine [13:22] it's just when logging into the terminal [13:23] ok , i thought you meant it froze at the login [13:23] page [13:27] Ok I installed the display drivers and now it boots to a blank screen [13:29] RansomTime: add the noplymouth option to grub [13:29] RansomTime, the recommended driver ? The processor microcode from intel isn't necessary btw [13:29] Yeah the one marked recommended [13:30] !nomodeset | RansomTime [13:30] RansomTime: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

Thanks [13:31] s worth a try \ [13:32] never had to use nomodeset with nvidia here [13:32] Munster: if you have a card that needs it, you will need it. [13:33] k1l_, yeah, usually it';s amd/ati that needs it [13:35] Booting with nomodeset now [13:35] Just getting a flashing underscore [13:36] Gonna try the reinstall and just use the default drivers [13:38] RansomTime, try the recovery kernel firstand choose repair broken packages in the dialog [13:39] after removing nomodeset [13:40] Ok [13:43] It's a splash screen. So that's something [13:45] That's super worrying. Couldn't find disc by uuid [13:46] do you have more than one hdd installed? [13:46] Yes [13:46] Only using sdb2 for Linux [13:46] do you a desktop yet ? [13:46] have [13:46] No [13:47] Boot failed on mounting [13:47] RansomTime, separtae disk for linux or partition?

[14:51] cpaelzer: the modeline produced by GTF doesn't work on my equipment at 3840x1200 @60hz at all. It does work at 59hz but all the artifacts are still there. [14:56] Lope: too bad, I'm out of ideas for the moment :-/ [14:57] Lope: good luck with the experiments on the other approaches you mentioned before [14:59] cpaelzer: http://codepad.org/J2X1HBsx [15:00] I decided to generate 1920x1080 because that's currently being offered by my display. I wanted to compare it to cvt and gtf's suggestions... can you see the difference? do you know how to make sense of all these numbers? [15:04] Lope: a lot is from the analog age, but here you see what it "means" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline [15:05] Today when I woke my desktop monitors there was a bizarre pattern, it looked like tetris and moves if you move the mouse or do anything else. When I selected shutdown, it seemed to stop doing it when it logged the user out. Here's a picture: [15:05] Lope: the one it seems to report automatically in your xrand with 148.5Mhz seems a bit high frequency :-) [15:05] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/S6SGV8xF/IMG_0528.JPG [15:05] Lope: I mean honestly what this is configruring are radio frequencies - maybe your neighbor can tune into your screen now [15:06] cpaelzer: did you notice the frequencies suggested by cvt and gtf are higher? [15:07] Any idea what would cause this, or if it's a prefailure symptom of something? I haven't been able to figure out the right keywords to Google it. [15:07] gtf and cvt suggest 172/173 mhz [15:07] The format actually makes sense to me now... [15:07] This is on a day old install of 14.04. [15:08] Lope: just making fun - the Mhz is pixel clock, but anyway I saw that GTF < CVT [15:08] Lope: yeah those tools seems to have slightly different reading of the formulas [15:08] yeah but they're WAY different to what my display asks for? [15:09] 148mhz vs 172mhz is huge [15:09] TheCowboy, seems like overheating [15:09] i installed ubuntu desktop 15.4. how to mount or how to map the user from linux server to ubuntu desktop 15.4 [15:09] which part is overheating? [15:10] Lope: yes, the tools just follow the official formula, while the monitor asks for something a good way off those numbers - I saw that [15:10] TheCowboy, gpu itself [15:11] OerHeks, I'll have to monitor that, but it seems odd to be the cause since logging out since to clear it up. It also wasn't doing anything intensive overnight. [15:12] cpaelzer: What's a bit disappointing is the pixel clock of 2560x720 is 131.6mhz but the pixel clock of 1280x720 is 74.2mhz. I expected double the pixels would be double the pixel clock :/ [15:12] cpaelzer: it makes it very difficult for me to guess what 3840x1200 settings should be. [15:12] Lope: I checked my three screens and I see similar values for 1920x1080 http://paste.ubuntu.com/14567341/ [15:13] Lope: what screen is this, could we maybe derive sometihng from the specs? [15:13] I have another idea to trick my Displayport>2xHDMI splitter to offer me that. I've got 1x controller which does ask for 1920x1200. I'll try connect it to the screen 1 port and hope the splitter offers me 3840x1200 in xrandr verbose. [15:14] OerHeks, any thoughts on if I should install the proprietary nvidia drivers? I think I recall hearing about the open source drivers running hot. [15:14] http://www.panelook.com/modelsearch.php?panel_part_number=LP171WU3 LP171WU3-TLB1 and LP171WU3-TLB3 [15:15] TheCowboy install thermald (daemon) if it's not already there [15:16] Lope: I might have missed part of the initial question - are these two displays combined by a HW device? [15:17] Lope: so do these two appear via ONE HDMI/DP/.. to your box ? [15:17] TheCowboy, nvidia prop driver could solve this, i would try yes [15:17] maybe you hear less fan too [15:17] cpaelzer: yes. The 2 HDMI displays are combined by a displaylink device to be 1 screen of double the width of each of them [15:18] Lope: so the displaylink device is the one that passes no proper combined edid ... hmm [15:18] cpaelzer: the guy who sold me the controllers for the displays botched the firmware, it only offers low resolutions, So in turn my joining device only offers me low resolutions. I can drive it with whatever resolutoins I like though, [15:18] OerHeks, thanks [15:19] TheCowboy, use the driver tool provided, don't download from nvidia. [15:19] my joining device just offers me double of the connected devices [15:19] Lope: some of the older displaylink devs only supported low resolutions anyway - what generation is that? [15:20] cpaelzer: it specifically says it supports 3840x1200@60hz [15:21] I've used it successfully with normal screens at 3840x1080 [15:21] Lope: normal means screen which are not screwed by their FW? [15:21] Lope: did you try "Modeline "3840x1200_59.90" 385.67 3840 4096 4512 5184 1200 1201 1204 1242 -HSync +Vsync" [15:22] cpaelzer: yeah that's what normal means :) [15:22] Lope: most displaylink thins I saw had the 59.9 instead of 60 [15:23] I've tried 59hz, 59.9hz 60hz with both cvt and gtf [15:23] I've even tried 50hz lol :P [15:23] Lope: IMHO the two screens (other than FW issues) should not behave like others on 1920x1080 [15:24] Lope: so if you can run the screens fine at 1920x1080@60 alone [15:24] ok bro, thanks for your help. I'm going to connect a 1920x1200 screen to my splitter tomorrow and pray that it offers me 3840x1200. Then I'll just make a note of the modeline. [15:24] Lope: then when you use two "non-screwed" 1920x1080 Displays on that displaylink adapter [15:24] Lope: it should give you the numbers you need [15:24] I know how to construct a modeline from the xrandr --verbose now. [15:24] Lope: that is just what I meant - copy what a good screen gives you [15:25] Lope: good luck [15:25] Yes I can run the screens fine at 1920x1200 or 1920x1080. then the screens are mirrored (or individually). It's at the high resolutions that the timing becomes a problem. [15:25] There's obviously a timing error somewhere. [15:26] (compatability error) [15:26] anyone connecting to a Cisco AnyConnect vpn server through the NetworkManager vpn applet? [15:26] i can connect and see the sites on our network at work [15:26] I don't have the normal displays with me. Only the LVDS ones. but in any case, they probably need their own weird timings. [15:27] but i can connect to our git server on the cli, yet I can see the web interface in chrome [15:27] hey any one of you who use kvirc ? [15:27] dmfrey: haven't but maybe it's the security policy on the ASA? Are you using a certificate for auth on the session? [15:28] kopele ask your real question [15:28] cpaelzer: as if it wasn't strange enough, if I connect one of the screens directly to my RaspberryPi's HDMI port, the RbPi detects as 1920x1200 automagically and displays it. So it's only when these displays are connected to the Displaylink joiner they show low res. [15:28] Kingsqueak, i generated the token at work. Then I am able to sign in with my AD credentials [15:28] !find kvirc [15:28] Found: kvirc, kvirc-data, kvirc-dbg, kvirc-modules [15:28] dmfrey: yeah not sure then [15:28] how can i stop it from comming active windows instantly when some one sends me private msg or use my nick on a channel [15:28] window* [15:29] Lope: I gave up on the 1st gen displaylink devices a long time ago and since then never touched it again [15:29] Kingsqueak, odd that it works in the browser, but not the cli [15:29] cpaelzer: I love displaylink. It allows you to connect 3 monitors to a laptop. [15:29] dmfrey: what that tells me is, it's not the tunnel, but some other issue, likely firewall policy for your user. If you use the native client (I think there is a linux anyconnect?) does it work that way? [15:30] dmfrey: or if you use the same user account but say from Mac or Windows, does it work? [15:30] cpaelzer: 2x HDMI plus whatever other output your laptop has (like VGA). And the performance is good and it works in linux... rather important. VS Displaylink which is a POS. [15:31] ciao bro [15:31] it worked from the windows that this laptop used to be [15:31] dmfrey: yeah odd, no more clues here [15:32] Kingsqueak, thanks, i will see if i can find a native client [15:32] dmfrey: I still suspect a policy issue on the VPN device [15:32] dmfrey: if you have a net-eng guy who owns it, just be sure there isn't something off with the token generation or user level policy === venkat_331 is now known as venkat_330 [15:33] thanks, i will see if I can find someone there [15:37] dmfrey: one last thing, just occurred to me, DNS... as in stupid, but are you resolving the name of the service you are trying to hit properly, where maybe the web interface has a 'public' that you can resolve vs the other service? [15:38] Kingsqueak, no, and I think that is part of it as well. I don't think it is putting the name servers in resolv [15:38] ah there you go [15:38] if you know the IP or can find out 'telnet ' and see if you connect [15:39] the server is behind a load balancer [15:39] you should still see a connect on the port [15:39] i know there were some articles a while back about disabling dnsmasq in network manager config [15:39] i tried that but still didn't work [15:40] \quit [15:40] can you SSH or anything directly to an IP elsewhere on the internal space via VPN? [15:40] just to be sure you have a working tunnel is the logic [15:41] looks like i can telnet to that server on port 443 [15:41] o.k. good [15:42] so that proves the tunnel is up, it's likely name resolution [15:44] looks like /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf only has 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver, but it does have my companies .com as a search server, but not the .net [15:45] dmfrey: my butcher self would just make a script to run to put the right one in when you bring up the tunnel and swap it ouw when you bring it down, but there is likely a 'right' way to fix it too [15:47] hello. I'm having a small problem. I recently set up my DVB-C tuner to stream TV channels with mpv. Everything worked fine but now I noticed that mpv cannot access the adapter unless I invoke w_scan (a tool to scan for channels) which appears to "activate" it somehow. Any ideas how this might be fixed? [15:47] Kingsqueak, i am pinging someone there for the correct resolve.conf settings and will update them manually for now, but a script is in order for this [15:48] I run w_scan with regular permissions btw, so nothing much is needed to activate the adapter I reckon. [15:48] hi! is there anyone who can help me with a init script on ubuntu 14.04.03? [15:51] Hi [15:52] I have a problem with wifi. my wifi signal is weak in ubuntu [15:52] how do i write a init script to stop bluetooth services? [15:53] anyone? [15:53] pgx: I don't know much about it, but you want to prevent the starting of a service rather than stopping a started service, right? [15:54] pgx: permanent? [15:54] hey! what i'd like to do is to stop the service so that i can activate them [15:54] with something like service bluetooth start [15:55] when i need it [15:55] hi guys, ubuntu 12.04 with internet working in gui environment but not from terminal: ping or apt-get install or anything else won't work, it says unknown host... [15:55] so basically my laptop boots with bluetooth oof and i can activate it when i like [15:55] If 14.04 uses systemd then something like `sudo systemctl service bluetooth disable` should work I think. [15:56] 14.04 still uses upstart [15:56] not systemd [15:56] ah ok, nevermind then. sorry! [15:56] adrian_1908: shall i just write the line in the exec file i created in /etc/init.d? [15:57] AFAIK, it wasn't made default until 15.04 on [15:59] pgx: If what nicomachus says is right, my suggestion won't work. I'm only familiar with systemd, and barely so.

[16:55] pgx: in /etc/rc.local, just put things that you want to run as a command on its own line before "exit 0" [16:55] no exec= [16:55] just shell commands [16:56] be aware that your environment may not be the same, eg $PATH [16:56] so use full path to programs/files [16:57] pgx which version of ubuntu are you running === decoder_ is now known as decoder [16:58] how to update my xubutu 14.04 to 15.04 [16:59] layan 15.04 is !eol (or will soon be) [16:59] bonzibuddy 14.04.3 i reboot and try rc.local but i don't think it will work, it didnt before... brb === Uptime is now known as Upvote [16:59] layan better wait for 16.04 [16:59] layan: my personal recommendation, wait for 16.04 and then upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 [16:59] layan: Rocky road to 15.04 .. must go through the EOL 14.10 process . === Upvote is now known as Uptime [17:01] MonkeyDust Can i update 14.04 to 16.04 without CD [17:01] i am having trouble setting up ssh rsa keys for any remote users that do not match my local username: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14567851/ - it seems that ssh ignores the -i arg for all users except the one [17:01] layan yes [17:01] layan: Because 15.04 is not an LTS release, you would have to go 14.04->14.10->15.04 ... but you should probably wait and go straight from 14.04 to 16.04 when the 16.04.1 comes [17:01] MonkeyDust why I cant update 14.04 to 15.04 now ?

[17:09] the ubuntu install didn't recognize your existing windows partition and make it an option when you turn on the pc? [17:09] i just could see the windows partitions while i installed ubuntu [17:09] ballmer: i didnt see the option to install ubuntu along with windows 10 [17:10] how can i select the option from grub to load windows or ubuntu? [17:10] then i would try to repair grub, something went wrong https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [17:11] ubuntu should recognize your other partitions and automatically include them in the startup list along with ubuntu [17:11] yes, but how can i repair grub if it didnt mess up anythign before? it just didnt found windows [17:11] that means something went wrong, see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [17:12] i have had issues with ubuntu 15.10 installation [17:13] i suggest using the LTS version, 14.04, if you do too [17:13] does it use mbr or efi? [17:13] it can use either [17:13] i use it also [17:13] i can also direct from my bios to an efi path [17:13] boot direct [17:14] 16.04 will be here in another few months anyway [17:14] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule [17:19] bonzibuddy [17:19] hey sorry i tried reboooting again [17:19] are you still there=e? === lahwran is now known as lauren [17:19] pgx yup [17:20] pgx: have you tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/419115/make-bluetooth-disabled-by-default ?

[17:21] yes it blocks it but it creates me other problems [17:21] ballmer: i now use the default actions of boot-repair [17:21] it's configuring [17:21] do you know how to put service bluetooth stop in a script?

[17:27] pgx: the script will just be whatever you type on the command line already [17:28] ie [17:28] sudo /usr/sbin/service bluetooth stop [17:28] it has to be in a script that runs after you log in tho [17:28] i think thats the issue [17:28] rc.local is probably working... but when you log into the desktop [17:28] ubuntus like "well pgx probably needs bluetooth so lets start that" [17:29] pgx: my apologies dont use .bashrc, use .profile [17:30] bonzibuddy it worked fine like i did it before [17:30] i just can't remember what there was in the file [17:30] and i don't know how to write a script with this command: service bluetooth stop [17:31] pgx thats like the script already right there [17:31] scripts are just running whatever is in the file like you were at a shell [17:31] but you will need to give the canonical path to the "service" command [17:31] /usr/sbin/service [17:31] so it would be like [17:32] ? [17:33] ? /usr/sbin/service bluetooth stop?

[17:42] lerner: you could set group to root and user to yourself [17:43] chmod u+rw /dev/sda1 wouldnt work, right? [17:44] lerner I would recommend chown -R lerner:root [17:44] chmod o-rw -R [17:45] lerner: dont chmod devices [17:45] bonzibuddy, this is for an encrypted hdd, would that work? [17:45] lerner: you chmod the mountpoint [17:45] or chown [17:45] lerner: heed k1l_'s device, chmod the mountpoint [17:46] lerner: and you can chown the mountpoint to your user only and set the chmod to owner access only [17:49] mountpoint is fore example: /media/lerner/disk2 Hey there, not sure if it's the right channel for the question but I'm having a little bit of trouble with nvidia drivers since updating to 358 (I think). I've got a GTX770 and every time I boot up I need to go in the nvidia settings manager, in the advanced settings, and change my refresh rate from 60Hz(1) to 60Hz(2). Otherwise, the resolution is stretched and too wide for the screen [17:54] I've tried using the option to save the setting to xorg.conf but it doesn't seem to have any lasting effect [17:54] I also don't understand why I need to do that whilst previously the automatic settings used to work fine [17:54] any idea? [17:55] (or tips as to where to ask) [17:55] Also, I'm not sure what this 60Hz(2) setting even means. [17:56] givello: Do not know .. but Nvidia recomends the 352 version driver : https://gist.github.com/trdenton/1f15067cac3ce524d33a . [17:57] hey guys [17:57] I get a require_once(file) ailed to open stream permission denied [17:57] And am running Nginx [17:58] How do I know under which user it runs so I know how to add permissions [17:59] it's probably www-data [18:00] try ps aux | grep nginx [18:00] Bashing-om: alright, thanks. Well, it works fine enough for me save for that small annoyance, so I'll just wait until they fix it I guess then. [18:03] givello: K; But only takes a few minutes to purge the 358 version and see what results when 252 is installed . [18:05] Bashing-om: yeah you're right, I'll test to see if that was really the culprit, or if I goofed up somewhere else [18:06] givello: How did you install the 358 version . Makes a difference in removing it . [18:09] Bashing-om: okay, that does fix it. I guess I'll wait until nvidia gives the green light then. === Saulo is now known as Guest67425 [18:09] Bashing-om: oh it was through this repository I saw advertised with the latest drivers [18:10] Bashing-om: this one: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa === shill is now known as Guest69801 [18:11] I can't seem to figure out how to setup tightvnc on ubuntu.

[18:31] yes [18:31] Ntemis: cause those are kernels from different ubuntu versions [18:32] so i better stick to this one? [18:32] Greetings! [18:32] where's a good spot to talk backups? [18:32] Ntemis: why do you need it? [18:32] backspot [18:32] Ntemis: " sysop@1404mini:~$ uname -r >> 3.13.0-74-generic " upgrading the kernel may not be the best thing ... depends on your hardware and use case . [18:32] yeah and if you do upgrade the kernel, upgrade the xorg stack too [18:33] i want to be stable as rock [18:33] So I went here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux and trying to figure out if it's possible to download from there [18:33] very stable [18:33] thats why i waited this long to upgrade [18:33] so now am on 14.04.2? [18:33] then definitely don't use any hwe stacks i guess [18:34] it is dual boot windows and ubuntu linux 15.04 only 2 option needs to be display and not seconds counts [18:34] no, 14.04.3 [18:34] Ntemis: Unless there is a issue to remian as stable as possible, remain on the 3.13 series kernel . [18:34] requiest: what seconds counts? [18:34] you mean the timer at the bottom? [18:34] there was a print cup issues on my login [18:34] bug sent already [18:35] printcups something [18:35] time 10 secons default booting counts [18:35] yes [18:35] can i have the 3.18.25 LTS guys?

[18:38] Ntemis: if you don't have new hardware to enable, there's not really a reason to switch to a later HWE kernel, afaict [18:38] Calculating upgrade... Done [18:38] The following packages have been kept back: [18:38] apache2.2-bin libapache2-mod-dnssd [18:38] Ntemis: particularly if you're worried/focused on stability [18:38] i am [18:38] am staying here [18:38] so some bugs to squash [18:38] dist-upgrade dont let me update those [18:39] and 2 not upgraded but no way to update them [18:39] !info apache2 trusty [18:39] apache2 (source: apache2): Apache HTTP Server. In component main, is optional. Version 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.8 (trusty), package size 85 kB, installed size 463 kB [18:39] shall i remove them? [18:39] Ntemis: probably it needs some manual intervention, try `apt-get install apache2.2-bin` to see what apt says [18:39] Ntemis: have you added any PPAs or other non-standard repos? [18:40] ppas were cleaned out before upgrade [18:40] it needs to remove this gnome-user-share [18:40] By "cleaned out", do you mean removed from the list, or every PPA package tracked down and purged? [18:41] is it ok to be removed? [18:41] no by the upgrader [18:42] Ntemis: unfortunately, it isn't going to be possible to advise you. PPAs can do their own thing, messing up dependencies in ways which are not easily resolvable. It will _probably_ be OK to simply remove those packages, but noone will no for sure [18:42] Ntemis: that's why PPAs aren't supported [18:42] Ntemis: ' apt-cache show gnome-user-share >> Priority: optional " so will not hurt the system at large if removed .

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [19:22] george4n, uhm? [19:22] lolcat: It's not linux, it's cygwin [19:22] lolcat first repair your ubuntu, you deleted some essential folders [19:22] I read recently that is a really bad idea to try to install one operating system using BIOS and another using UEFI, especially on the same disk. However, it seems that the ubuntu amd64+mac images were created to do just that [19:22] are you running windows or ubuntu? [19:22] george4n: He isn't. He's in Windows. On Cygwin. [19:22] how to directly login without user name and password through tty no gui installed [19:22] geirha, Isnt cygwin just a linux skin? [19:22] lolcat: you aren't using linux [19:22] lolcat: to install packages on cygwin, you run the cygwin setup.exe, but this is offtopic here [19:22] it's ubuntu [19:22] not the same thing at all [19:22] lolcat, Cygwin is not linux, it's a cli which includes bash. You're still using a windows machine it';s not the same [19:22] geirha, Just like gentos is a linux skin [19:22] lolcat: It is nothing like ubuntu [19:22] playing around with ubuntu netinstall installed i3wm....after installing android-studio i cannot launch in terminal or dmenu....usr/share/applications shows a desktop icon...?? [19:22] im afraid youre in the wrong chat for that then [19:23] lolcat: Go to #cygwin for help with cygwin [19:23] okay [19:23] lolcat [19:23] * lolcat is off to cygwin [19:23] axisys: The path is EOL link to 12.04 and once 12.04 is stable then upgrade to 14.04 .. in April 16.04 is due to be released . [19:23] try apt-cyg [19:23] Bashing-om: obviously I cannot keep it to lucid anymore.. [19:23] lolcat: for whta? [19:23] for what, eben [19:23] lolcat try apt-cyg instead of apt-get [19:24] Bashing-om: but do-release-upgrade fails.. so how do I go to 12.04 ? [19:24] george4n, -bash: apt-cyg: command not found [19:24] s0r00t, teward ? [19:24] teward? [19:24] wtf [19:24] lolcat, not sure if we can help you then, perhaps re-install cygwin [19:25] in any event, this is not the right place to seek advice for cywin [19:25] cygwin* [19:25] axisys: Yeah .. do the EOL upgrade per the guide . then will be on 12.04 .IF and I stress IF all went well . As advised a lot has changed between 10.04 and 12.04 .. and maybe with 12.04's upstart will not go so well .. maybe yes, maybe not so yes . [19:26] where can i get a free pdf on c programming? [19:26] Bashing-om: lookign for EOL upgrade.. [19:26] skryptkitty: "c ebook +pdf" on Google. [19:26] http://lmgtfy.com/?q=where+can+i+get+a+free+pdf+on+c+programming%3F [19:26] django_: you asked what software works best for pull/push on Github. The answer is 'git' - the actual command line software for handling git repositories :P [19:26] Bashing-om: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades ? [19:26] django_: unless you mean a GUI, in which case I recommend none of them [19:26] teward, yeah but id rather use a GUI [19:27] ty [19:27] how to directly login without user name and password through tty no gui installed [19:27] axisys: Read the provided guide - so you understand . change your sources to "archive.ubuntu/old-releases.ubuntu" and the "code" as 'lucid' . [19:27] i never had luck with ubuntu upgrades. even after upgrading to 15.04 from a 14.04 fresh install. [19:27] requiest what do you mean? [19:27] buona sera. Questa è una prova [19:28] requiest are you not presented with a login screen? [19:28] jdqx: that's because you don't upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 [19:28] jdqx: sounds horrific [19:28] lol [19:28] lol [19:28] i mean loing without user name password [19:28] was thinking about doing a clean install for 16.04 LTS when it comes out [19:28] you cannot login without credentials [19:28] how about upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04? [19:29] jdqx in april [19:29] perhaps, but wait a few months [19:29] not for nothing, but if you have to do a clean install for every release, you need to either learn how to update properly, or find another distro [19:29] reinstalling for a new version is silliness from Windows land [19:29] yea i'll wait. just wondering if I can trust the upgrade procedure in that case. [19:29] not really, backing up on linux is simple [19:29] either you can trust it or you can't [19:29] if you can't, find another distro [19:29] and windows has many other problems that linux does not [19:29] such as bloat [19:30] ok but in gui mode we can disable right [19:30] everything will be backed up anyways so i'll take the chance. if it failed, then a fresh install ensues. [19:30] requiest , i understand what you mean now, you dont want to type your password when you login? [19:30] yes [19:30] Just go to settings, users, select your account and choose login automatically [19:31] jdqx: it's nice that you're safe when you waste your time utterly, but you're still wasting your time utterly [19:31] can you boot a live cd via bios but install using UEFI? [19:31] if you could, you wouldn't want to [19:31] you having some actual problem? [19:31] i'm trying to anticipate one [19:31] artois: so should i stay away from ubuntu upgrade completely? [19:32] i need to install ubuntu to dual boot on an existing mac [19:32] yes but that is for gui here i same thing want it for tty [19:32] without graphic [19:32] but i'm unsure about how to go about doing it. some people say that using the amd64+mac image is the way to go [19:33] for tty its not possible [19:33] jdqx: you need to decide that for yourself, but these things are true: 1) you should update regularly 2) updating to the latest version should not be problematic 3) reinstalling every new version is a waste of time [19:33] but that image forces BIOS booting [19:33] jdqx: if you can't manage it with one distro, it's sane to try another [19:33] axisys: Is an old guide, but still pertinent . Page 2 is the more relevant . [19:33] austrinus: problem anticipation [19:33] that's what economists are paid for [19:33] and they make money for doing nothing useful [19:33] =) [19:34] artois: lol true. but i'd prefer not to break the existing mac installation [19:34] i figured the best way to do it was to boot the livestick via UEFI and install it the same way [19:34] requiest , you can have an autologin through ssh, if you add your id_rsa.pub to the server, you wont need passwords [19:34] side by side with the mac os [19:34] austrinus: I'm not sure you'll need special steps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/MacOSX [19:35] not sure why you need two OSes, either, though [19:35] Bashing-om: so essentially replace all us.archive.ubuntu.com with us.old-releases.ubuntu.com ? it is lucid [19:35] artois: because college. still need Microsoft office for a little bit longer [19:35] until professors get their stuff together and linux takes over [19:36] rEFInd is a great boot loader [19:37] Gallomimia: i was going to use that [19:37] the main thing that is concerning me is which disk image to use [19:37] because there is an ubuntu amd64 and amd64+mac [19:37] and it seems like the amd64+mac one forces boot via BIOS [19:38] which I wanted to avoid for fear of Ubuntu trying to install using BIOS instead of UEFI [19:38] austrinus: no you don't, but even if you did, it works in a VM fine [19:38] akik: thanks for the tip about "expect" [19:38] moreover, Microsoft has already moved to website-based office [19:38] artois: my strategy is to update only to LTS versions after each version matures alittle. [19:39] jdqx tight plan [19:39] pointless plan [19:39] if it takes you 5 years to get around to updating, you're doing lots of things wrong [19:39] axisys: Yeah, you have the right of it .. make sure : 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ' sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' so all is updated then ' sudo do-release-upgrade ' . I make it a practive to PPA purge all PPAs and disable any proprietary graphics drivers 1st . [19:39] jdqx: how long do you wait? a few months? [19:40] Delta706, a few months to a year. seems reasonable to me. [19:40] i too use lts only [19:40] Bashing-om: yeah this is server.. let me proceed with your steps [19:41] axisys: Check for 3rd party sources ! ' tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ' . [19:42] Bashing-om: nothing there.. empty [19:42] Delta706: it's one of those old tools that maybe are not so popular anymore [19:42] it is working great. I am testing my web server and using a terminal browser [19:43] akik: so thanks for your help [19:43] Delta706: does it work with elinks/w3m ? [19:44] w3m is what I am using [19:44] great [19:45] Delta706: here's the history file for it http://expect.sourceforge.net/HISTORY it's from maybe 1990 [19:47] which repository should patent-encumbered FLOSS software not officially supported by the Ubuntu team be packaged into? universe or multiverse? [19:47] Bashing-om: us.archive changed to old-release on sources.list file but .. do I keep security.ubuntu.com in there? [19:49] axisys: Yes, keep all the sources .. and change all the URLs to old-releases . [19:52] Bashing-om: still failed .. here is the sources.list file http://dpaste.com/33DBEJ9 [19:52] axisys: look'n . [19:53] austrinus: there's a +mac image from ubuntu? i don't think i used that [19:54] Gallomimia: yeah [19:54] it forces boot using the mac's BIOS compatability mode [19:55] axisys, you can try with this , replace karmic ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/14569614/ [19:55] which creates a hybrid hybrid MBR [19:55] which is super hacky and bad [19:55] at any rate. i got it going, but i don't see the refind thing anymore. i haven't booted to ubuntu in awhile [19:56] Gallomimia: it probably defaults through it. I think if you don't hold down option it might skip it or something [19:56] hi there [19:56] hi [19:56] how are you all?

[20:22] Avak: Nvidia recommends the 352 version : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/95159/en-us . What version are you atrtempting to install .. Additional Drivers is generally pretty smart . [20:22] LTCD: yes [20:23] I'm installing v. 352 [20:23] k1l thanks [20:24] Output from dkms status: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14569865/ [20:24] Avak: Installong 252 now ?

[20:31] Heh. [20:31] I think the fact that unity-control-center is crashing means it's not the graphics driver... [20:32] something to do with X-server... [20:34] Avak: That output looks good to me .. reboot, and if there is still a problem we look at X's log file : ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit ' .

[20:39] Bashing-om: just for my personal records - is there a difference to pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [20:40] Exagone313: I never found a working solution for audio. The closest I got was using rdesktop to access windows. I'm surprised no-one has hacked vnc for sound. [20:41] the main problem I think is pulseaudio: on x2go it uses it, but it seems to do not work with a windows client (didn't tried with linux, because I haven't this time) [20:41] Loshki: compared to RDP, VNC performs quite bad, even with all possible optimization. Putting sound on top of that would require a high-bandwidth communication to the remote. [20:42] I have it [20:42] I'm like 30km far from my server, and with otpic fiber [20:42] Ah [20:42] here's the pastebin of the file [20:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14570018/ [20:43] i'm gonna try if vlc can stream the sound, unsecurely [20:43] (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) [20:44] bekks: " difference to pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?" I think not . I can be taught better . [20:44] bekks: Seems to me sound needn't require particularly high bandwidth, unless you're watching opera in hi-def. [20:44] Avak2: Look'n at the log file . [20:45] Ok [20:46] Bashing-om: Line 182 [20:46] Avak2: " root=UUID=7960b950-3153-4485-ac9d-49ef3db02b7f ro nomodeset ....." remove that boot parameter, as it defats Kernel Mode Setting.

They look really poor after migrating from a Mac [20:55] especially in Chrome, but sort of everywhere... they seem blury [20:56] hey [20:56] I have a 4k display, so I suspect that has something to do with it [20:56] what is the best way to install virtualbox under ubuntu? [20:57] mrkie: sudo apt-get install virtualbox [20:57] mrkie, you should download the .deb from their website, you want to most current version [20:57] hey [20:57] asyn, i think it not really font problem, some time ago i had same trouble and found solution... it about font rendering, try to google bout it [20:57] asyn: yes, but will it get automatically updated each time a new release rolls out? [20:58] no, you'd have to update by downloading a new .deb [20:58] thats what I do [20:58] i have ran into difficulties with startx, i have a live cd and i would like to reinstall startx, now how do i do that from livecd? [20:58] thanks coma_ I'll try to google for it. any idea what your solution was? [20:58] asyn: do you just open this deb from the gui? [20:59] yep [20:59] i not sure, but mb disable/enable cleartype or something like that [20:59] and be sure to download the latest guent additions [20:59] asyn: and if you install a new deb of another version later, does it get updated automatically? [21:00] yes [21:00] or do you purge it [21:00] no need to purge [21:00] getting the more recent versions is worth it to me [21:00] b00s3d: "startx' is special use case in only some desktop environmnets . So don't from live . What is the problem and what release & desltop are you on ? [21:00] will try http://askubuntu.com/questions/21309/how-to-restore-xserver [21:01] on the virtualbox site 5.12, in our repos 5.10 and tested, i would stick to the repo [21:01] Anyone having trouble on smb shares after this weekend? [21:01] async: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.0.12/virtualbox-5.0_5.0.12-104815~Ubuntu~precise_i386.deb is not enough?

[21:03] i run Ubuntu 14.04 ("Trusty" [21:05] jim, how about workgroup? [21:06] the workgroup is set fine, checked that first. What I dont understand is that normally windows has issues interfacing. I dont know what would stop ubuntu from interfacing with ubuntu. [21:06] Is there a way to specify a port with the ssh-copy-id command? [21:07] Hey so I am trying to setup a bridged vpn as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN but I cannot for the life of me get my bridged adaptor to come up my interface config is here:http://paste.ubuntu.com/14570198/ [21:07] fartface: with the -p option [21:08] Pici: ssh-copy-id, not just ssh [21:08] mrkie that looks good [21:08] be sure to also get the guest addition\s [21:08] back [21:08] fartface: you can see the option with "ssh-copy-id -h" [21:08] makes a huge difference [21:08] akik: cheers [21:08] i can't take anyone named fartface seriously... [21:09] fartface: it should work, if it doesn't, try with ssh-copy-id -o Port=999 ,etc [21:09] Pici: Ah, I'll try that. Just specifying -p didn't work. [21:09] asyn: That's fair. lol [21:10] Ah! I found it! [21:10] What the hell, you need to specify all arguments within quotes and it works [21:10] aka ssh-copy-id "root@host -p 2991" [21:11] :DD [21:11] axisys: Release upgade from 10.04 ... are you now on 12.04 ?

What do you think ? [21:39] Bashing-om: let me check [21:40] Bashing-om: trying it now [21:40] so do the sudo do-release-upgrade only? [21:41] axisys: There is also the thought that the mirror site is at fault .. to await and see if the mirror syncs up . [21:41] When I try to execute `chsh`, I get "You may not change the shell for 'developer'". Is there a way around this if I've got sudo rights? [21:41] fartface: sudo chsh -s /shell [21:42] Thanks!

[21:56] Exagone313: ok, gfxpayload isn't set to keep there [21:57] Exagone313: you could try just adding vt.handoff=7 in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT after quiet splash [21:57] then sudo update-grub [21:57] oh and something maybe useful [21:57] it run under virtualbox [21:58] I thought it wasn't grub related, so now if [21:58] as far as i know vt.handoff is what gives a nice transition while booting [21:58] scrabcakes: Many times it is the boot partition lacking space, what returns ' df -h ; df -i ' ?

I've been able to change the shell to bash, but logging in via key still doesn't seem to work. If I use `ssh-copy-id`, it'll ask me for the password, and copy the key over (or at least not output any errors), but then when I try to lo [21:59] gin via ssh, it'll still ask me for a password [22:00] !paste | scrabcakes [22:00] scrabcakes: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[22:12] err it seems so, why's that? [22:12] to see if we should remove the one before it too [22:13] is there any ubuntu mmorpg? [22:13] "this is it" [22:15] EriC^^: that's fixed it O.o how come? [22:15] lerner: assuming you are looking for a real game... well... Steam might have some, and the Software Centre. [22:15] scrabcakes: your root partition has very little space [22:16] scrabcakes: it's going to get full again soon [22:16] EriC^^: but not 8mb little? Or is there some sort of reserved space that dropbox isn't allowed? And yes it's because I'm on a chromebook :P [22:16] scrabcakes: yeah the root partition has 5% reserved for root [22:17] EriC^^: aha! cheers dude :) [22:17] :) === sebastien is now known as Sebastien === qqqqqs is now known as xalias [22:23] join #techiechan [22:36] Finally found the right release, working great: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ [22:36] I just installed Xubuntu 9.10 and the desktop is bigger than my wide screen TV monitor. I tried to change the video settings so the desktop would fit correctly but all of the settings didn't work the way I wanted. So I set it to a different resolution and then the screen flickered and went into afther a while to the login screen. I tried Ctrl + Alt + F1 but that did not work. I am in root right now, not on this computer but is there [22:36] Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) alternate install image [22:38] I try to install qmail but I receive a message: "Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/", does anyone know how to fix this? === Toledo|gone is now known as croberts [22:42] !9.10 | Zulu_Too [22:42] Zulu_Too: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://ubottu.com/y/karmic for details. [22:44] Chaser is that the command? [22:44] Zulu_Too: really ubuntu 9.10 ? [22:44] Zulu_Too: 9.10 is EOL'ed. Its too old. [22:45] Zulu_Too: ubuntu 9.10 is from 2009. load a actual ubuntu iso like 14.04 or 15.10 [22:45] I wasted time with it. It seemed very fast as a light weight system but I tried LXDE but that is not being supported and doing apt-get's is miserable. [22:46] I tried Ubuntu 15.10 and it was a pig on resources. [22:46] Zulu_Too: you are doing it very wrong. ubuntu 9.10 is dead. dont use that anymore. [22:46] Zulu_Too: if you need something lightweight, use lubuntu [22:47] Is Lubuntu the same kernel as 15.10? and are the apt-gets up to date with the repositories? [22:48] Zulu_Too: you are mixing things [22:48] Zulu_Too: we have different desktops like unity, xfce, kde and lxde. that makes it to ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu,Lubuntu [22:49] Zulu_Too: then we have different version, like 14.04 or 15.10. but ubuntu14.04 and Xubuntu 1404 share the same kernel and packages. its just another arrangment of that packages. [22:49] Lots of the distros look nice on paper but fall short of their expations. I am trying to set up a light weight GUI Apache 2 server without seeing that the repositories are not available and 3rd party people that are not proven downloads. [22:49] Zulu_Too: if you want lightweight use Lubuntu. like Lubuntu 14.04 or Lubuntu 15.10 [22:50] * AndChat464025 we are you [22:50] Zulu_Too: if you want a server, dont use a desktop at all. since the desktop will use ressources that are better used by the server [22:50] K11 will that work with older machines as well without the transit time lags? [22:51] Zulu_Too: you cant run 9.10 that has not seen any security updates since 2010. so a 10year old can hack that system. [22:52] What if I just use in the StartX mode in command prompt would you still recommend Lubuntu? [22:52] Zulu_Too: dont use startx on ubuntu [22:52] Oh! back to square one. There are so many distros. [22:53] Zulu_Too: but yes, lubuntu is made lightweight for slow and old hardware. but again: if you want to run a server, run a server. [22:53] I was thinking of FreeBSD. [22:53] well, freebsd is not in the scope of this channel. [22:54] K11 so the lubuntu is a good thing but what about security? I really don't worry that much about security because Linux based systems are not that vulnerable to Windows systems. [22:55] I will give lubuntu a try. Nothing to lose. I have tons of computers here. [22:55] Zulu_Too: that is wrong. we have enough hacked systems. and a lot of linux servers are among them and sending spam. the reason is users dont use secure methods or dont have set up the server properly [22:55] Hi there ubuntu gents [22:56] hi [22:56] Zulu_Too: lubuntu receives the same security patches as ubuntu does. but only if they still have support, which 9.10 doesnt: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ [22:56] K11 that is where a firewall comes in and iptables. [22:57] Zulu_Too: doesnt help you [22:58] You mentioned 14.04 and 15.10 is better then? [22:58] I have a problem with the installation of Ubuntu 14.04. Getting the following error: the ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI (2,0,0) (sda) failed [22:58] Zulu_Too: 14.04 or 15.10 is your only choice. [22:58] During installation... [22:58] We've checked the DVD and everything looks just fine [22:58] Ok thanks. I will experiment with them then. Lightweight is the way to go to give the CPU a break. [22:59] I've googled and al threads indicates issues with HD... [22:59] Zulu_Too: this is a server, right? does it have a monitor or any sort of display at all? [22:59] can we conclude that indeed... or are there other possibilities? [22:59] RealKillaz: you can do a smart check and verify that. [22:59] So check the HDD health with the utility from the HDD manufacturer RealKillaz [22:59] K11 about the repositories with the above any comments? [23:00] Zulu_Too: you dont need a desktop on a server. you can manage the server with ssh. [23:00] dude. i hate how textbooks.... spend 2 chapters explaining how thing a and thing b work... just to tell you in chapter 3 that they are crap and old and you ened to use thing c. My Linux textbook just told me how to use tar... and gzip... for 2 chapters... then said its old and everyone uses .rar and .7z ect that do both at once. [23:02] DirtyCajun: Millions of programmers pour over the code, linux is a fast moving target . [23:02] DirtyCajun: .tar and gzip are still used. [23:02] nicomachus, How can I do that.. and is it possible to run that with the OS running? [23:03] nicomachus, is that the smartcl tool? [23:03] K11 I have used SSH from a Windows box to Ubuntu years ago. You bring back memories. Good point. :) [23:03] anybody here who knows how to get a old Epson AL-C1100 printer running with ubuntu 15.10 over the network ? [23:03] !smart | RealKillaz [23:03] RealKillaz: smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [23:03] K11 you just made my day. That is what I will consider now. [23:04] Quantos, Yes, I;m trying to figure this out with the OS running since we have an engineer onsite which is on the go to run a live cd... [23:04] RealKillaz: yes you can do it with the OS running. [23:05] I'm going to step back RealKillaz, I don't think I can safely advise you on a running server [23:05] K11 I was concerned about the sudo apt-get distributions or repositories as well. Some of the stuff that is outdated should be taken off of the internet I suppose, but, who am I to say that. [23:06] Zulu_Too: sorry, but you just installed a 9.10 that is from 2009. [23:06] lol [23:06] hey [23:06] i ment hi [23:06] K11, that is just OK with me. I am going to trash the CD disk and download what you suggested. Thanks for the feedback.

[23:26] I got 4GB or RAM, up to 16 cores [23:26] dang 16 cores and only 4gb of ram? [23:27] does vmware require guest additions and 3D video enabling like vbox does?
