[00:00] i think i got ubuntu into the usb stick now i just restart my computer and set it to boot from usb first and i will just run them? [00:00] Noein1: yes [00:00] thanks this is my first time trying ubuntu or any linux like system :P thanks for the help [00:02] Noein1, how did you put Ubuntu on the USB drive? [00:03] Noein1, and you copied it over from Windows? [00:03] i used a program i downloaded that was specifically for this purpose [00:03] limacharlie: he used the official way linked on the ubuntu page. i think it uses pendrivelinux [00:03] yes that :D [00:04] Noein1, outstanding, then you should be good to go! [00:04] yep i will try it soon and hopefully it will work [00:05] Noein1: for UEFI PCs i prefer Rawrite32 for writing linux ISOs to USB, if you know how to clean and reformat the USB stick properly afterwards :P [00:07] Noein1: but if you used some other program just try to boot it, if it works ignore what i wrote [00:08] I have almost no knowledge on anything like that i am just starting to explore.I dont even understand most of the anagrams that i see here,i hope that i will soon learn some stuff :) [00:08] Noein1: no problem. learning by doing. you made the first step [00:10] I don't know what an "anagram" is - so Noein1 your ahead of me! [00:14] hey, wondering where systemd-nspawn is on my ubuntu 15.10 box? [00:15] The program 'systemd-nspawn' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [00:15] sudo apt-get install systemd [00:15] except systemd is already installed [00:16] answer is systemd-container [00:17] spotter: is systemd-container installed?

[00:34] ok gotcha ... super key then type www in [00:34] what shows [00:36] the 'live cd' version is severly limited [00:36] hacksmash, firefox and "browser" [00:36] thoes are whats preinstalled ... installing more software is a bit beyond Live CD [00:37] I don't want to install it if I can't teach my family how to use it. [00:37] hello [00:37] I installed xchat with no issues, hacksmash. [00:38] help) [00:38] I wish I could help you whoami, I am new to ubuntu [00:38] can someone telk me how to grep a greater than symbol? apparently its beyond my comprehension [00:38] i 'think' it depends on RAM available ... chrome may take more than xchat [00:38] w00tburger: escape it with '\' [00:38] w00tburger, Escape it using a backslash: \> [00:39] I had tried that- it didnt work [00:39] w00tburger: Then quote it. [00:39] hmmm I wonder if its because I am user cmder, so its using its own version of grep [00:39] shouldn't the install come back with a error message, hacksmash? [00:40] I tried to quote it, slash it, and both [00:40] launch it from the Terminal window ... thats where it would show errors. [00:40] The system cannot find the file specified. [00:40] I am cat'ing a file into grep [00:40] Live CD is VERY RAM intensive [00:40] cat index.html | grep -i '\ okay. Just to be clear, what is the command. I try just typing "google-chrome" from the term and only once did I see the chrome logo pop up in the task bar. [00:41] technoweenie, i wouldnt base your decision on chrome alone [00:41] w00tburger, You need to use double quotes, or bash will take the \ as literal [00:42] If we can't use the prime services on amazon, my family has no use for it. [00:43] technoweenie, if the family can figure out Windows... Ubuntu will be a breeze ... esp if you have figured how to install stuff already [00:43] haha, they know how to use the package manager? [00:43] this isn't my first go around with linux. back in the day I used suse [00:43] when they do it from command line- oh man, that is my dream family [00:43] technoweenie: The ptoprietary browser name is " google-chrome-stable " . [00:44] anyone? why is grep being dumb [00:44] I will try that bashing-om [00:44] w00tburger, Rather, this should work: cat whatever | grep -i '> form' [00:44] w00tburger, With no backslash [00:46] hacksmash, bashing-om after typing "google-chrome-stable" in the term in tells me "created new window in existing browser session. I am using firefox at the moment. [00:46] Hello, I just wanted to know if people could hear me [00:46] well, read what I type anyways [00:47] frank_jameso, I see what you are typing.

[00:48] it should still show up in the app store if you used apt-get install [00:48] and there's also the synaptic package manager, which you may have to install nowadays [00:49] but either way, those only deal with the aptitude or apt-get commands, so if you installed it in a different way, those may not work.

[00:58] any kind of software which would completely erase all disk changes on reboot, for deploying ubuntu in a computer lab? [00:58] Hello. Was referred here with this question as it relates less to the process and more to processes. I have a process that says "defunct". But upon research, a kill doesn't work, and its parent process is init (pid 1). Any idea how I might safely do that? When I try and start the process manually, I get port in use, although a netstat doesn't show this pid as using the port (although it lists it). [00:58] technoweenie: I had to wander away for a bit ... close all out ... so only a terminal is running . Now what results with terminal command ' google-chrome-stable ' ? [00:58] sounds like, you need to write your own driver for it. [00:58] Oh the process is mono, btw. [00:59] bashing-om, it says it created a new window in the browser. [01:00] there is no browser open [01:00] Pinkamena_D, Just make a bash script that nukes content in writable folders you don't want changed, and set it to run on reboot [01:00] What is the preferred method of making xrandr changes persistent? [01:00] do you use luks or veracrypt to encrypt an external hdd? [01:00] why you rooting bashing-om? [01:00] llldino: ok, ill try that... [01:01] lerner: I'm using the full disk encryption on 14.04lts [01:01] pmow, is that luks? === svetlana__ is now known as svetlana [01:02] It didn't say, will research to properly answer... [01:02] tech " why you rooting bashing-om?" I fail to understand .. please exemplify further ? [01:03] Is there still an Ubuntu Team for [01:03] whoops [01:03] you said you were typing directly to the kernal, right? [01:03] Is there still an Ubuntu Team for the Infrastructure? I see the Server team, but I think that's specific to Ubuntu Server. [01:04] that is called rooting the system. you are GOD at that point and can do anything with no restrictions. [01:06] lerner: it looks like dm-crypt, as /dev/mapper has a few volumes starting with dm-. Although if LUKS is an extension, do you know if they'd also say dm-*? [01:06] technoweenie: No, What i meant is from a terminal as a standard user type the terminal command ' google-chrome-stable ' .. which "should" launch google-chrome leaving the terminal window open and frozen and showing any errors that starting the browser generated . [01:06] pmow, no [01:06] i dont know [01:06] i will do it again [01:07] pmow, but, did you encrypt via cli or gui? [01:07] gui [01:07] honestly I'm dying to replace the box and I'm definitely leaving it off. If I need it, it won't be on main disks... [01:08] anyone know the repository for upgrading ubuntu? [01:08] "created new window in existing browser session," bashing-om [01:09] box is in a colo and I wish I hadn't enabled it honestly. It'd be nice to reboot the box without ordering a KVM in advance! === mustu_ is now known as mustu [01:09] technoweenie: Lemme back out of my google-chrome .. see what results when I start from terminal .. [01:09] pmow, whats the name of the program? [01:09] mono [01:09] ok bashing-om. [01:10] lerner: so a ps -ef gets me a parent pid of 1 =( [01:10] a program named "mono" will encrypt a hdd? [01:11] technoweenie: You have a problem .. I just did as advised ... no problem at all to start google-chrome in the GUI . Are you running out of memory ? what results ' free -m ' ? when you have attempted to start google-chrome . [01:12] lerner: I thought you meant the process that I'm trying to nuke. I don't know for sure, but did my GUI answer indicate anything? [01:12] Bashing-om: if you have google-chome open, and try to open it from another terminal, do you get the same message as technoweenie? [01:13] pmow, I dont know what application you used to encrypt [01:13] lerner: the 14.04 LTS boot CD === senpai is now known as Guest32847 [01:13] 322 free bashing-om [01:14] lerner: i _think_ if they used GUI, the encryption is "home folder encryption" i forget what that's called (it's NOT luks) [01:14] lerner: I'm trying to find the answer but not much help online. There isn't a "status" switch I've found yet === Guest32847 is now known as senpai === meth is now known as teachmeUNIX [01:15] ./dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [01:15] bashing-om, why can i use firefox, watch videos online and so on? [01:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto seems to indicate it's dm_crypt, but http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/39306/how-secure-is-ubuntus-default-full-disk-encryption says it's dm-crypt with LUKS [01:17] I have a feeling if things aren't in the app store of ubuntu, you are S.O.L. unless you know how to hack. [01:19] I would use suse, but that os iso will not right to a dvd in windows, though there is enough space on the disk. [01:20] managed to figure out the proper name but `sudo cryptsetup status ubuntu--vg-root`finishes and returns....nothing [01:20] windows requires too much room for the index space on the disk. [01:20] *write [01:21] how do you use wild cards and rm? [01:22] Hi all [01:23] lerner: is there any conclusion to this question? I cannot locate any discussions or articles about an issue with dm+LUKS and defunct processes. [01:23] how do I disable password prompts? [01:23] yumbox: why would you want to do that? [01:23] pmow, im sorry, I dont remember my original question anymore [01:24] isn't the command to dump your ram "dump -m" in the term? [01:24] lerner: you asked what type of encryption I was using [01:24] dotpixis: because i dont want to type my pw all the time [01:24] im not feeling well, ill talk to you later pmow [01:25] lerner: feel better [01:25] dotpixis: wild cards like *? they work with rm by default? "rm *" <- be careful! DANGER [01:25] yumbox, In regards to what? Using sudo or logging into your computer? [01:26] llldino: using synaptic [01:26] yumbox: then learn to type faster, or setup a key system... or then set the time that you're given admin rights to 10 minutes; but it's not suggested that you turn off password prompts, see sudoers [01:26] zykotick9: ty [01:27] dotpixis: i can type fast. it's just an annoyance I want to get rid of. [01:27] yumbox, You can add yourself to the group 'root' and that will more or less enable your user account to have unbarred access to everything in your computer [01:27] technoweenie: DRM and Adobe Flash that FireFox can not get around ... Goggle-chrome does .. can even run NetFlix in google . Different form of Flash . [01:27] llldino: that's not what I want though [01:28] is it safe to rm *old_versions in the /boot folder? [01:28] dotpixis: you should use the package manager to uninstall that stuff! [01:28] zykotick9: why? [01:28] Bashing-om: can't Firefox already run Netflix in Linux? [01:29] I've already set sudoers to NOPASSWD. I want to disable graphical password prompts. [01:29] zykotick9: " and try to open it from another terminal " lemme try and see what results . [01:29] bashing-om if I install ubuntu, you think this issue will go away? [01:29] yumbox, Synaptics needs access to files that only root can write to, therefore you need to become root (using gksu and entering your password at the prompt) or give your user account root permissions [01:29] dotpixis: because... [01:29] I kinda like a live disk. if someone loads malicious code, I don't have to worry about it. [01:30] technoweenie: I can only give you my experience . I run google-chrome-stable with absolutly no problem . [01:30] dotpixis: the wild cards are expanded by the shell before rm ever sees them. So to really understand what you're doing, you're gonna have to review bash wildcarding as well as rm's particular quirks. [01:30] I suppose you can give your user account permission to write and read all the files that synaptic needs but that's messy and dumb [01:30] Loshki: ty for the advice, will do [01:30] llldino: yeah, I get that, but with sudo, I can just add NOPASSWD to sudoers. Why can't the same work for gksu or whatever synaptic uses. [01:30] I have a strange networking issue in ubutnu 14.04: I get the 'waiting 60s for network' on boot, but nothing is DHCP: this is my /etc/network/interfaces: https://gist.github.com/acovrig/062dcc728fa67e726bb0 [01:30] "All I have to do is escape the system." [01:31] zykotick9: also i would use a package manager but my package manager isn't playing nice, so terminal it is... [01:32] oh, I think I found it here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/383747/how-to-configure-pkexec-to-not-ask-for-password [01:32] zykotick9: technoweenie No problem for me to start multiple instances of google-chrome - in seperate terminals . [01:32] yumbox: don't do it [01:32] yumbox: passwords are good [01:32] dotpixis: no, they're not. [01:32] it's good to be prompted before you do something [01:33] dotpixis: im the only user of my pc. [01:33] yumbox: do you use the internet? [01:33] yup [01:33] Bashing-om: BUT, do you get that "created new window in existing browser session" message? [01:33] dotpixis, It's his build he has the right to do with it what he wants. That's what makes *nix finger lickin' good [01:33] yumbox: do you ssh? [01:33] ok bashing. just means I need to learn more about basking the keys before i commit to another os. [01:33] dotpixis: yup. [01:33] yumbox: do you have keys for ssh? [01:33] *bashing the keys [01:34] dotpixis: yup. [01:34] it's your machiene, if you want to live on the wild side i can't stop you, but don't say that you weren't warned === john is now known as Guest23161 [01:35] dotpixis: that's the way i feel about your manually deleting packaged stuff from /boot ;) [01:35] hello I am using Xubuntu and my screen turns off every 10 minutes and I don't find the setting not to turn my screen off. (it's not my screen) [01:35] dotpixis: https://xkcd.com/1200/ [01:35] like I could give a **** if someone installs drivers [01:36] yumbox, It's not quite that generalized, but okay then [01:37] yumbox: but i have my web sessions auto killed, and i don't keep any cookies after the session is killed [01:37] zykotick9: Yepper " sysop@1404mini:~$ google-chrome-stable >> Created new window in existing browser session. " I do have 2 complete instances of chrome running . [01:37] dotpixis: me neither [01:37] so someone could steal my laptop and they would have a hell of a time trying to do anything; ps the bios is locked [01:38] bios lock means nothing [01:38] also, all physical networking on eth1 and eth2 die when I start a specific VM using br0... [01:38] Bashing-om: it sounded like chrome was running for technoweenie and everytime they re-ran it, it just opened another tab - that i assume they aren't seeing for some reason... [01:38] dotpixis, all they have to do is take the bios battery out & the bios would be wiped [01:38] luketheduke0: uh, no. [01:39] technoweenie: No better way to learn that do it . Includes the tykes also . Linux, when they break it -- we get to keep the pieces -- and put it back together ., [01:39] where is it running? [01:39] you have to flash the bios, to whipe it, most of the time they're things to do that, but all that battery does is keep the internal clock powered... [01:40] zykotick9: Could be ... and I have my chrome install configured to open new instances as a new window (??) . [01:41] dotpixis: closer, but also no. [01:42] it's not on either one of my screens running? [01:43] I might be a tyke, but I expected more out of you guys. lol [01:44] technoweenie: You do have a desktop activated, no ? as it must run in a GUI . [01:44] So, when I boot into ubuntu 15.10, I type in the password, and then the password stuff disappears for a few moments, then the screen turns black, then the password stuff pops back up [01:44] yes. i am in a GUI? which one I couldn't tell you? [01:44] technoweenie: The tykes was in reference to the rest of your family running 'buntu :) [01:45] LOL [01:45] are there any custom install parameters I should be running if I have an nvidia 7300 LE video card? [01:45] I didn't get any errors when installing the OS [01:45] I fixed it by typing " xset s off " into the terminal [01:46] Muimi: did it ever work? [01:47] well, I think I made several mistakes, this time.... [01:47] No, it never worked. I think I installed a video driver for 14.04.... [01:47] And then I think I removed it in the wrong way before installing the 15.10 driver. [01:47] just got this when going on random on xkcd http://tinypic.com/r/343t8wi/9 [01:47] technoweenie: All I can suggest is that Google-chrome-stable failed to install properly . You did install google-chrome-stable ? There are a few chrome releases . Some are "testing" . [01:48] Muimi: try opening a console (ctrl+alt+f1) and "ls -l ~/.Xauthority" does it say root anywhere on that line? [01:48] " I put the lotion on my skin, It does what it is told!" [01:48] hold on [01:49] translation, I did as google instructed me. [01:50] Muimi: alt+f7 to return by the way [01:50] nope. [01:51] Muimi: ok, just checkin'. good luck. [01:51] Muimi: I am not familiar with nvidia 7300 LE. If ya pastbnin ' lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA " I will see what I can do about verifying the correct driver version . [01:52] I am going to go get me a glass of formaldehyde. [01:52] Some thermite while I am at it! [01:52] technoweenie: K ... I go do lung therapy .

[02:20] Also after changing EDITOR, 'select-editor' still had seleced nano, why? :) [02:20] LostSoul_: selected-editor just creates a .selected_editor file in ~ <- i'm not sure what uses it though... the update-alternatives is a system wide setting for the debian-based alternates system. [02:20] I just thought there may be some safe method for installing ubuntu with an nvidia card. [02:20] And then install the video card driver AFTER the installation is complete [02:20] zykotick9: But should update-alternative work in this case? [02:21] technoweenie: Yeah ... Mind ya ... I am not in the least Windows Literate . But I do expect that in booting the installer in UEFI mode that you have the easy option " install ubuntu along side" . If ya want to take the default install . [02:21] LostSoul_: personally, i'd think so... but obviously you have different result... i can't explain why.

[02:22] LostSoul_: ok, so crontab obviously does NOT use alternatives, but that selected-editor thing! so it's cron specific. [02:22] technoweenie: Ouch . Me no lnow zykotick9 ???

It's easier to learn about a system by using it everyday, breaking things, solving problems you have, sitting in #ubuntu and listening to everyone else's problems [06:02] llldino, exactomundo!! [06:03] my biggest concern is security. I know that linux is a target too, and I want my computer as secure as possible! [06:03] technoweenie, the biggest security risk on linux systems is the USER not the OS. [06:04] technoweenie: Also: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Trusty . [06:04] regular updates, stay in repos, avoid sketchy internet sites and 99% of your security issues are solved. [06:04] technoweenie, Provided you have a strong password, you're firewalled and you're not building packages from strange websites, I wouldn't be concerned [06:05] True, cfhowlett, if the user does not take the proper precautions. I was thinking about learning about TOR, but that comes with great risk. [06:06] technoweenie, 1.. read the manual. 2. read FCM. and 3. get off of IRC and go do 1 and 2 [06:06] LOL sounds good! [06:06] my $0.02 YMMV [06:21] hi guys [06:21] i have quick question.. [06:22] Fire away [06:22] If there is a service X already in a RUNNING state on a Linux box, and we issue another START action for the same service. Does it restart the current service in RUNNING state? Does it create a new instance of the service? (should be highly unlikely) Does it ignore the start action (since it is already in RUNNING state)? [06:24] If there is a service X already in a RUNNING state on a ubuntu box, and we issue another START action for the same service. Does it restart the current service in RUNNING state? Does it create a new instance of the service? (should be highly unlikely) Does it ignore the start action (since it is already in RUNNING state)? [06:25] !patience > ubuntu558 [06:25] ubuntu558, please see my private message [06:25] llldino: Ok friend [06:26] ubottu: not received ur message [06:26] And to answer your question, if service X is running already, service X start will do nothing [06:26] ubuntu558: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:27] llldino: service X start will do nothing..Means? [06:27] Pretty much exactly what it sounds like [06:28] llldino: Does it create a new instance of the service? (should be highly unlikely) Does it ignore the start action (since it is already in RUNNING state)? [06:29] Hello Guys [06:29] ubuntu558: like llldino said, it won't do anything.

Right in the middle of an upgrade [06:52] I'll roll back I guess [06:52] I've got 503 as well [06:52] mcoffin, seems official : http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/us-west-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com [06:53] Yep.

[09:20] i used unetbootin to create this usb, so i enter nomodeset after "/ubnkern initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- " then I append nomodeset after the --? === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [09:23] Guest7: nomodeset can be chosen on your existing grub [09:25] lotuspsychje: You may have something with trying the latest 15 version. The xubuntu version that works is 15.. hmm. [09:26] Guest7: as your card is pretty new, il would test 15.10 [09:26] lotuspsychje: good idea, thanks I appreciate it. [09:28] When 16.04 LTS comes out, how do I remain on the LTS even after subsequent releases come out prior to a next LTS, and keep my system updated? [09:29] Guest7: doing the upgrade to the next LTS will give you a message [09:29] Guest7: you can also test 16.04 in a development phase right now [09:29] Guest7: see #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 [09:29] Guest7: Normally by default, LTS releases are only set to upgrade to the next LTS release, unless you change your settings to allow LTS to next release [09:30] lotuspsychje: sorry for the noob questions. So if I install 15 now, there will be a notification to upgrade to 16.04LTS? I dont do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? === zenlot1 is now known as zenlot [09:31] DJones: Ok. Yeah that's what I was wondering, and why I was wanting to install 14.04LTS now instead of 15. [09:32] Guest7: you can do-release-upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 also yes [09:32] Guest7: but in your case, you need to think of your gtx980, and use the version that works best for your card atm [09:33] Guest7: so maybe a temporary use 15.10 and upgrade to 16.04 might be good for you? [09:33] lotuspsychje: ok, yes sounds great. [09:34] So from reading above there is a setting somewhere to only go from LTS to LTS? [09:34] So once I get the 16.04 I will set that somewhere. [09:34] Guest7: as DJones was saying it should only got from LTS to LTS by default === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [09:36] lotuspsychje: oh man.. the nomodeset option works!

I ended up replacing "silent splash" with "nomodeset" and it works. [09:37] Shutem_Down: pastebinit also works nice [09:37] cfhowlett: thanks a lot for your help.

[10:00] retrojeff: yeah, also had a couple errors at the bottom of it [10:00] if your kernel was updated recently the new drivers will need to be loaded into it [10:00] atm running an upgrade so i cant see what it was [10:01] for example if you have nvidia I have todo # dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-352 [10:01] for the nvidia drivers to be build for the new kernel [10:02] because for some fucking reason DKMS wont do that for us [10:02] which is god damned annoying as fuck [10:02] atm i'm using the proprietary drivers [10:02] also running 14.04 atm [10:02] if you see errors like DKMS.CONF not found [10:02] you will have the same problem [10:03] and need to reload the graphics drivers for the updated kernel [10:03] or suffer the wrath of low graphics mode [10:03] i keep seeing stuff in the upgrade log about icon themes saying "This very likely means your installation is broken" [10:03] so shit [10:03] it was linus torvold himself that gave nvidia the finger [10:04] he said outloud "nvidia..... fuck you" [10:04] it was cute [10:04] i think i might chuck in a liveusb real quick so i can pull off data [10:04] and yeah i remember that [10:04] linus is really salty about a lot of stuff [10:04] like his thoughts on C++ [10:04] lol [10:04] "This is a bad language because of the people who use it" [10:04] !ot [10:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[10:30] retrojeff: it's sorta overkill but the 2600XT doesn't really do anything, it's just there because the GT 640 doesn't even show the startup screen/bootloader [10:30] something something efi i'm not good with that [10:31] UEFI BIOS is a god damned joke [10:31] I kid you not [10:31] I have bricked about 25 laptops and they all had UEFI [10:31] had to send them all back to DELL to be reflashed [10:31] its stupid [10:31] zbouby15, ambitious! you might ask over in #ubuntu-server [10:32] Sure it's not a pebkac issue?

"coreboot" *cough* *cough* [10:33] one day i'm going to sell every piece of technology i have and just build some god-tier linux machine with hardware that's specifically known for having great linux support [10:33] because i'm tired of this [10:33] sounds like a grand idea :-) [10:33] i just want stuff to work and the workflow with linux is so nice [10:34] but in all the years i've been using this there's always some little catch [10:34] the only time i've had a flawless linux experience was when i ran Lubuntu on my dell optiplex 755 [10:35] honestly i don't even know what i did to completely break it [10:35] it was working flawlessly all day [10:36] retrojeff: assuming the issue had to do with shutdown, should i repeat what you mentioned earlier? [10:36] because right now i'm not sure how i can check if the changes went through [10:36] right now i'm in the command line again because low graphics mode doesn't even do anything [10:37] it should show up in # lsmod [10:37] that the drivers are loaded [10:38] # lsmod | grep drm [10:38] drm 356352 3 nvidia [10:39] 'drm_kms_helper 126976 1 radeon', and just 'drm 344064 5 ttm,drm_kms_helper,nvidia,radeon' [10:39] retrojeff: ^ [10:39] hrmmmmm [10:39] you have radeon loaded as well [10:39] probley a conflict there [10:40] maybe [10:40] most likely [10:40] hence why I said having multiple cards not a good idea [10:40] before in unity both of the cards were active and displaying stuff though, all i did was go into the preferences and disable the monitor that's plugged into the 2600XT [10:41] but even after disabling that monitor it worked fine even with occasional restarts [10:41] try this and look for [10:41] # dmesg | grep nvidia [10:41] [ 24.764406] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [10:42] see if you get something like that === TheFreakler is now known as Al3x_10m [10:42] i do retrojeff [10:42] also [10:42] [drm] Initialized nvidia-drm 0.0.0 20150116 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 0 [10:42] or something like that [10:42] that too [10:43] what software would you suggest to find duplicate files? [10:44] text_spacing_msg 10 [10:44] klinikot: this probably isn't helpful at all but if you search in nautilus i'm sure it'd show duplicates but not point them out [10:44] could probably write a little script to do it, one might be out there on github or something [10:46] theres stuff in the repos to find duplicates [10:46] rdfind, findimagedupes come to mind, there might be others [10:46] retrojeff: you said you were having this problem earlier, right? [10:47] I fixed my problem with just running # dpkg-reconfigure on nvidia-352 [10:47] took not even 10 seconds [10:48] it said it was building for my new kernel .... rebooted and bam I had 1080p again [10:48] there is something funky with your setup that is causing issues [10:48] maybe a Xorg config file [10:48] retrojeff: maybe the hard shutdown could've caused it to not apply? [10:49] check your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf as well [10:49] incase something got blacklisted by mistake [10:50] retrojeff: so far nothing relevant seems to be in here [10:50] I would tend to lean more on the fact of you having multiple graphic cards of different types [10:50] which sounds overkill and stupid if you ask me [10:50] it isn't that i want to [10:50] probley a conflict somewhere [10:51] it's that i need that second card in there to actually see what's going on as the system boots [10:51] why [10:51] without this card i would've just gotten a black screen very likely [10:51] because the GT 640 is a nonEFI card iirc [10:51] I have nvidia I can see boot messages just fine [10:52] I do not have a UEFI BIOS thank god [10:52] aha, now you see why it's always pain in the ass to run anything linux related on apple products :P [10:52] I would piss on that BIOS chip and watch it melt before using it [10:52] i only paid about $350 for this old machine so [10:52] it's a 2008 mac pro so the godawful support is agiven [10:53] the fact you are running apple I have no sympothy.... but you are attempting to run ubuntu on it I give you credit [10:53] retrojeff: it's for work and other things [10:53] mainly photoshop and logic pro x [10:53] so leave it at work and get yourself a 2nd machine [10:53] strickly for ubuntu [10:53] i plan on it [10:54] right now i'm gonna probably do a few more upgrades on the machine to see if i can get a bit more out of it on ebay or something and then use the money to build one with hardware that works well with linux [10:54] now that ubuntu no longer forces amazon search on people by default [10:54] I feel slighty better about it [10:55] yeah when RMS among many others started complaining about it canonical knew something was up [10:55] In a sense Macs are good value when buying computers, they hold their value extremely well [10:55] I never liked or used unity.... I always go with other DE's like Xfce or Mate or Cinnamon [10:55] IceBot3000: this mac pro was around $4000 when it came out in 2008 and it's $400 on ebay nowadays assuming it's left unupgraded [10:56] retrojeff: my go-to desktop outside of unity is mate [10:56] if only i could theme it to look identical to 10.04, which i probably can [10:56] Hey, i have old HP Compaq 6715s laptop, with 1GB ram, 128mb ATI x1250 video, AMD Sempron 64-bit processor. Should i install 32bit linux or 64bit linux? Thanks for answers [10:56] kaype: Still more than you'd get for a $4000 custom PC from 2008 [10:56] Mate is really Gnome 2 continued [10:56] IceBot3000: yeah even now the mac pro is very much worth its price [10:56] peaceful: 64 bit [10:56] the mac mini and the new macbook they have out with that one USB-C port though... absolutely disgusting [10:56] IceBear, what's the reason? [10:57] peaceful: I would check see if you can upgrade the ram on it.... 1GB sounds small === nik0 is now known as niko [10:57] unless you plan on running a lightweight distro [10:57] retrojeff, i wont because its old [10:57] such has Lubuntu Xubuntu etc [10:57] yep lubuntu [10:57] i use lubuntu almost everywhere [10:58] kaype, its my favourite light os [10:58] I have a laptop with 3GB ram on it and it feels so slow [10:58] I might even throw in a SSD when I get the chance [10:58] retrojeff, slow? [10:58] also shouldn't we move to #ubuntu-discuss or something i'm pretty sure we're gonna get yelled at for talking even slightly casually in here lol [10:58] retrojeff, im surprise [10:59] 1200 people in here are bots and the ones who are awake only command the bots [10:59] so should i install 64bit or 32bit? [10:59] so in a sense channel is pointless [10:59] 64bit should be ok [10:59] retrojeff: oh, hey, the restart is actually working right now i think [10:59] because i have 64bit processor? [10:59] 64bit helps with more ram [11:00] jesus christ [11:00] and yes if your cpu is 64bit that helps too [11:00] ok [11:00] Ill install 64bit then [11:01] I had 64bit windows xp because of needing 6GB of ram [11:01] 32bit limits you at like 4GB [11:01] It doesn't actually with PAE, but 64 bit is still preferred [11:02] retrojeff: reinstalling nvidia-current [11:02] i actually don't think it was even installed to begin with [11:02] why? [11:02] I do not have nvidia-current installed on my machine [11:02] and its working fine [11:02] hmm [11:03] oh I keep forgetting I am running 16.04 Xenial [11:03] i'm on 14.04.3 [11:04] if installing nvidia-current wants to remove your nvidia-352 I would start to worry [11:04] otherwise no harm I guess [11:04] hi [11:04] lol fuk it already did that [11:04] ? [11:05] Removing nvidia-352 [11:05] you shot yourself in the foot? [11:05] (applause) [11:06] retrojeff: i backed up everything beforehand and i haven't even had it installed for a full day so [11:06] Morning' everyone?

[11:12] Nonsage these are the supported flavors of official ubuntu.: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity.

Or try adminer, which I prefer anyway (though it's more hands on) [11:13] rightnow|work: Not sure why you can't install mysqli or PDO, the older mysql interface is now deprecated [11:14] IceBot3000: It says the mysqli.so isnt found [11:15] You've installed the PHP/MySQLI module and enabled it? [11:15] Hmm. not sure. how do i install that one? [11:15] # apt-file search 'mysqli.so' [11:15] php5-mysql: /usr/lib/php5/20131226/mysqli.so [11:15] php5-mysqlnd: /usr/lib/php5/20131226/mysqli.so [11:15] But does that one work with php7? [11:16] Have you installed PHP7 manually outside of the package manager or something? [11:17] Yes using the sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php [11:17] maybe i forgot the php7-mysql package [11:17] worked! [11:17] Thanks IceBot3000! [11:19] Hi! I am having this issue for good 3 weeks now http://paste.ubuntu.com/14589555/ and none of the updates can be installed because of that/ ver 15.10 === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [11:31] retrojeff: i think i found the problem [11:32] xorg.conf has no info about the other cards in it, i'm wondering if that might be it [11:33] no driver identifier [11:36] low graphics mode menu has the option to go back to a default xorg.conf [11:36] did you not try that? [11:36] I am pretty sure it makes a backup copy of your existing one [11:37] I can access a host with machine.foo.com but not with machine only, is there a way to configure the system to resolve machine to machine.foo.com? [11:37] Changing the /etc/hosts file or similar? [11:38] can you $ ping machine [11:38] and have it come back with an IP? [11:38] do you have control over your router and add a static entry for "machine" [11:38] retrojeff: i think it's doing that anyway [11:39] any time i try to start lightdm it'll revert to the 4-lined conf that doesn't have any information [11:39] retrojeff: no, ping machine says [11:39] ping: unknown host machine [11:39] i'm using nvidia-xconfig to generate a new one [11:39] but it keeps getting overwritten [11:39] kaype: set your xorg.conf to read only [11:40] after running nvidia-xconfig [11:40] but ping machine.foo.com works [11:40] jatt: you will need to add "machine" to your /etc/hosts [11:40] or add a static entry for it in your router [11:40] retrojeff: I see would an entry like: [11:40] machine machine.foo.com [11:40] work? [11:40] no [11:40] it would not [11:41] hmm which is the right syntax? [11:41] having 2 seperate entries point to the same IP is ok [11:41] oh I need the IP, ok will try that out [11:41] 1 line per host [11:41] thank you! === cpaelzer is now known as cpaelzer_afk [11:43] I help so many people yet get nothing back [11:43] its a great feeling [11:43] instead I get some stupid bot telling me to shut the fuck up its so cute [11:43] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2220552 [11:43] this solution seems to have worked [11:43] but [11:43] congrats [11:44] i can only get to the login screen [11:44] after that it just blanks out to a blinking cursor [11:44] so, progress!

[11:46] the low graphics doesn't even work [11:46] it didn't work to begin with [11:46] if you had only 1 graphics card I would not see this as an issue [11:46] the fact that your stabbing and shooting yourself in the foot is a waste of time [11:47] and doing it with apple hardware no less [11:47] thats even worse [11:48] retrojeff: lmao that's just linux in general though [11:48] there's always a catch [11:48] sounds harsh [11:48] the year of the linux desktop is never going to happen because normies aren't going to be the ones wanting to fix this type of stuff [11:49] yes because "normies" all run apple hardware [11:49] hahahahahaha [11:49] (throws head back laughing hard and falls out of chair) [11:49] ive brrn a user for 15 years [11:49] there are people walking around with iphones everywhere ya look and that's undeniable [11:49] been [11:49] but who said i was talking about apple specifically [11:49] !ot [11:49] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[13:43] contact the maintainer [13:44] Good Morning [13:45] lotuspsychje yes, but if I run a dist-upgrade which pulls in an updated version of the kernel and various packages that are related to ntopng it will break. [13:45] Let me try pulling that out of my sources.. hold on [13:45] mike3: wich ubuntu version are you on? [13:46] lotuspsychje this might work. I pulled those entires out of my sources. Running a dist-upgrade now. I'll have an answer shortly [13:47] just pulling sources from a list does not reverse installation, and will certainly break something.

I've tried following a couple guides to enable, wont work.. swap partition is there, but I can't get 14.04 to use it [15:22] for setting LANG system-wide, /etc/default/locale is the place [15:23] ThePendulum: .pam_environment is automatically read when you log in, by a PAM module.

[15:31] hrob, what you mean with 'default' ? [15:31] zykotick9: ioria : yeah... I realize I didn't know what I meant [15:31] hrob, you can use apt-cache policy x11-xserver-utils to get infos [15:31] zykotick9: ioria : yes..

[15:35] geirha: display utf8 characters [15:35] ioria: so those tools can only I think communcate with the current display [15:35] ThePendulum: You need both the LANG variable and the terminal emulator to use utf8 [15:36] ioria: if its called display, right? :0.0 [15:36] hrob, yes, sometimes you need to export it [15:37] hrob, like export DISPLAY=ip:0.0 or 0.1 [15:37] ThePendulum: which terminal emulator are you using? putty?

[15:56] MediocreNut, wlp3s0 is the wifi [15:57] ThePendulum: Thinking it's easier to relink the dropbox account to automount mount point, than trying to modify the command to automount to change mount point [15:57] yeah i see that now [15:57] ..if that makes any sense [15:57] MediocreNut, enp0s25 is the cabled [15:57] so enp0s25 is the eth0 [15:57] Craigwell: no, and I have no idea what you're doing rofl, show me your fstab [15:57] yep [15:57] yeah [15:57] so how do i get it working :p [15:58] MediocreNut, open 'Edit Connection' and configure your ethernet card [15:59] MediocreNut, maybe you'll need to ifdown your wifi .... [15:59] ThePendulum: I think I have it sorted out. Basically the mount point for the partition I'm interested in changed with the automount configuration from when I was mounting manually via Nautilus. I just changed Dropbox setting and I think that's it [15:59] as in set a static ip and see if that works? [15:59] yep [15:59] MediocreNut, ip 255.255.255.0 gateway -> dns === [UPA]Stefan is now known as Tronsha [16:01] MediocreNut, for dns 8.8.8.8 would be fine [16:02] Holy damn, do so many people actually use ubuntu? [16:02] ok, i set a static ip [16:02] Insane [16:02] Use a real distro, mates [16:02] Ubuntu is so bloated you might as well use Win 10 [16:02] ThatNonny do you have a support question? [16:03] ioria: My wired connectiong still just shows that the cable is unplugged [16:03] Does anyone know how pass random data into apg so I don't have to enter it via STDIN, I tried: apg -s -a 1 -m 255 -n 1 -M SNCL -c hiyahiyahiyahiya but it didn't work [16:03] MediocreNut, ifconfig ? [16:03] Ok, on to the next challenge: I'm trying to enable hibernation on 14.04, with an SSD. I have been trying to edit fstab in this, but it's not working. I have the swap partition present, ubuntu just wont use it [16:03] still the same, cable shows uplugged [16:04] docmur what are you doing and trying to achieve [16:04] My "v" key stopped working out of nowhere. It works on capslock and with shift and with other modifiers, but the key itself doesn't input the proper character anywhere [16:04] I've been reading swap is not advisable with SSD. I have plenty of ram, and only wish to use for hibernation. is this advisable? [16:04] Craigwell, is your swap space at least the size of your ram? Is it labeled as swap in gparted? [16:04] Anyone ever saw that? [16:04] luketheduke1: Yes to both [16:04] I want to run the command from a bash script, so I have to be able to pass in the random data [16:04] adourado maybe a case of GKE (greasy keyboard error) [16:04] MonkeyDust: not a hardware problem, works with modifiers and works out of unity/gnome [16:05] on xfce, for instance, and on the terminal [16:05] Craigwell: are you using "encrypted home"? [16:05] zykotick9: I don't think I did... how do i check? [16:06] luketheduke1: wait now.. It was labelled swap in disks, but not formatted swap in gparted .. Just did that now and rebooting to try again.. [16:06] Craigwell: i wouldn't know how to check. it would have been something you selected during install. if you "don't think i did" then you probably didn't ;) just asking because it breaks hibernation (by default). [16:06] adourado: have you accidently bound "v" to an action, or remapped it? === _Kai_ is now known as Vivaldi [16:06] docmur if you don't get answer here, try in #bash [16:06] an answer* [16:07] zykotick9: I know it's disabled by default in 14.04, and I've reenabled it before, but this is the first time with ssd. I think it's because install didn't format the partition as swap at install. I might have resolved.. rebooting now to check [16:09] both my hibernate issue and automount resolved. Thanks guys [16:10] i like xfce [16:10] Last question I have involves the SSD.. I understand swap isn't advisable with SSD due to number of writes.. is there a way to limit its use strictly to hibernation? [16:10] or does it matter as long as I have enough ram that OS doesn't need swap? [16:11] Craigwell: how long do you intend for your SSD to last? i've run swap on SSDs for years, and have yet to have an issue. YMMV [16:11] one can reduce swapiness, but whitespots are old bugs indeed [16:13] zykotick9: It's brand new, kingston 240gb.. as long as I don't prematurely wear it out it doesn't matter [16:14] Craigwell: well, feel free to configure it to reduce as many writes as possible... but i honestly think it's a waste of time/speed (but that's just _my_ opinion, others may disagree) ;) === chappie-san2 is now known as chappie-san [16:15] zykotick9: I have 4 gb ram on a system used for the web and libreoffice primarily. Assuming I'm not going to use swap anyway for regular use.. just hibernation [16:16] Craigwell: i also have 4GB and "free" currently tells me I'm using 0 swap... again YMMV [16:18] what is the best/least troublesome/safest windows to install on dualboot with ubuntu 14.04 thank you [16:19] MyFriend: What kind of system? [16:19] MyFriend: I've had ok results with both Win7 and Win10, and XP before those.. Doesn't matter to ubuntu [16:19] MyFriend: The hardware of your system is what matters [16:19] MyFriend: should not really matter [16:19] how can I make cron env like what I have when I login to ssh ? [16:21] rocktop that's hard to read, can you rephrase [16:22] rocktop: are you asking how to ensure the env that a cronjob is running in is the same as the env you get when ssh'ing in to the same server? that is, your cronjob is failing currently due to some missing environment setting (in your opinion)? [16:23] Craigwell, how can I see what kind of system through a command on the terminal? [16:23] how can you upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04? [16:23] nacc: exactly [16:24] goddard: dist-upgrade? [16:24] goddard wait until april [16:24] But it's not released yet afaik [16:24] rilleh_ dist-upgrade does not upgrade to a new release [16:24] MonkeyDust: actually, LTS->LTS upgrades don't usually happen until the first point release... [16:24] TIL [16:24] Thanks and sorry [16:24] :) [16:24] goddard: if you want to run the development release ask in #ubuntu+1 [16:25] zykotick9 true, that's why i usually advice fresh install [16:25] k1l, the reason I ask is because I don't want to have problems with grub or malware from windows leading to the ubuntu partition becoming readable from windows or a virus damaging hd sectors from windows [16:25] MyFriend: well, nothing on the ubuntu side can make you safe on windows getting virus and doing some damage. === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [16:28] k1l, smallest possible partition for windows plus not downloading any apps from online plus encrypting ubuntu partition? [16:28] MyFriend: the ubuntu partitions are not readable from windows if not a special driver is installed. [16:29] ok, in terms of resources ease of use and doesnt block grub for dualboot what is the least troublesome/bloated version of windows? [16:29] MyFriend ask windows support/advice in ##windows [16:30] that is hard to decide, actually. better ask in ##windows [16:30] MonkeyDust, I am asking from the standpoint of an ubuntu user who wants to dualboot it's not a windows specific question [16:30] which windows simply dualboots with ubuntu without blocking grub [16:31] MyFriend: you asked about interns of windows. from the grub point of view it doesnt matter. like told before [16:31] anyidea ? [16:33] rocktop: configuring cron to have the same environment as a user, _probably_ isn't a good idea. i'd suggest just learning to use cron properly... but YMMV [16:34] hi guys, after installing a canon printer on 14.04 I'm wondering how can I make the printer spooler status icon appear in the panel (it was so in the 12.04) because it's very useful, for example if one wants to prevent some docs from being printed. thanks [16:36] or if you could tell me how the printer spooler file is called, I might create a link with it [16:37] i've done the "Diskless Ubuntu". how can I get pxeboot into a fresh copy of ubuntu after usage except for a folder? e.g. All folders should be "ephemeral" except "Document" storage folder. is that possible? [16:38] rocktop: there are several paragraphs about setting the cron environment at the top of "man 5 crontab".

Ask! or Discourse? === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [17:42] Newtoubuntu: most machines can run ubuntu fine dont worry [17:42] samba is installed [17:43] Newtoubuntu, the simplest way to do this is to simply boot an ubuntu live cd and test it out. it's safe and lets you play around a bit before changing anything. [17:43] agathezol: +1 [17:43] This is a custom build that I am ordering...without Windows. Want to get a feel for if it will be okay...before I pay for it. [17:44] Newtoubuntu a custom build?

[17:45] Yup. I am bored of Windows, like open source, want to learn something new. Figured that buying a PC without an OS and installing ubuntu would help me learn. [17:45] sruli: it is not releated to the extundelete in my opinion [17:45] mint333332: try /dev/mapper/mint--vg-root [17:45] Newtoubuntu: smart choice, but again dont worry to much ubuntu will run on it [17:45] mint333332: it is related to how extundelete finds partitions [17:46] Newtoubuntu, my 10 year old laptop runs ubuntu just fine. Even the open source hardware drivers support it where amd dropped support for the card already [17:46] Newtoubuntu: sometimes its a bit tweaking, but im sure youl get there [17:46] sruli: but how should I go to find it in file explorer?

I have three different machines running windows. Is it possible to have linux boot on USB and save data on the stick, as i'll be switching machines pretty often? [17:55] gagalicious, I used it for when in-laws visited [17:55] sruli: damn no luck this time, and data was lost, because I've accidentialy deleted contents of the wrong folder :(, thank you for help again [17:55] luketheduke1: what's the great thing about it? what's the limitations? [17:56] gagalicious: It's just a user that doesn't have access to other users areas & nothing is saved to the computer [17:56] I don't think it's saved, at least [17:56] ok thanks [17:56] So my in laws could browse the web without seeing my search history or any of my files [17:56] I'm having some networking issues: if I switch to a tty, I get a repeating message of `r8169 0000:08:00.0 eth1: rtl_eriar_cond == 1 (loop 100,delay 100)', any ideas what I can do about it?

[17:59] sruli: assuming the INPUT list of rules, then `iptables -A INPUT ARGUMENTS` [17:59] sruli: replace ARGUMENTS with the various other arguments which define the rule [18:00] ok. i was thinking whether to take on guest mode or do a kiosk. can guest access nas nfs folder? === satrap is now known as sat1_e [18:00] what is the meaning of a super user in ubuntu?

All my fstab mount is in /mnt [18:41] All guides also show /mnt in fstab examples [18:41] agathezol: ok so i have 4 HD i dont ever plan on removing... they are in essence permenant. i have them all in /mnt. is there a different place that is the "linux File system by Linux foundation" stander? [18:41] DirtyCajun: unlike lahaugen87's opinion, i think /mnt is for temporary mounts. check out /srv [18:42] linux 15.04 desktop and red hat el server all users are created in rhel server [18:42] DirtyCajun, depends on what the disks are being used for, if one is /home for instance, mount it to /home, if one is /usr/local mount it there. [18:43] I was thinking USB/samba/NFS. HD's is not for /mnt [18:44] I am using them as solely storage. 1 SSD holds all OS files and normal /* Directories. I Have 4 HD 1 for movies 1 for TV and 2 for games all 5TB each. [18:44] hey [18:44] does elementary OS count as ubuntu? [18:44] lahaugen87: "man heir" says "/mnt This directory is a mount point for a temporarily mounted filesystem...." [18:45] EliKLAAS, nope, it is a derivate with their own issues. [18:45] DirtyCajun, well, the one with your system files hsould be mounted to /, your media drives could be mounted to a shared local space for multi-user (i.e. /usr/local/movies or the like) [18:45] oh okay [18:45] how can i mount the home directory to local user sshfs, i am having around 50 users but each day they are using different systms all are loaded with ubunt 15.04 [18:46] DirtyCajun, if they are user specific storage, you could go as far as mounting them into your user's hdir [18:46] Has anyone bought Ubuntu Phone from BQ inside EU?

[18:47] EliKLAAS: the one you like the best. [18:47] EliKLAAS, depends entirely on yourself. there is no best desktop environment ;) [18:47] there are too many [18:47] EliKLAAS: that is different from user to user. find the one that you like the best [18:47] DarkKnightCZ: better ask in #ubuntu-touch [18:47] is there like a list of all desktop envroiments?

[19:09] You should just write in proper and full sentences. Use the "dot" key instead of the "enter" key whenever you finish a sentence, please. [19:09] FOX2 one line is easier to read and repeat [19:09] ok [19:09] "dot" [19:09] ok [19:09] i am trying to view the network drives from a debian operating system [19:10] Lubuntu is not a debian operating system. [19:10] lubuntu is a debian operating systtem im britty sure [19:10] it is debian based. but not debian. there are significant differences. [19:10] FOX2 better ask in #debian [19:11] MonkeyDust: he's on Lubuntu, just keeps calling it debian. [19:13] i can see that there is a difference, and in my case it is negligible [19:14] FOX2: your perception != fact [19:14] FOX2 ok, start over, put your question in one line, now === Voltasalt is now known as xSke [19:21] :) [19:27] nicomachus: MonkeyDust so FOX2 ended up asking for support in #debian... they didn't seem happy when i suggested they needed to get support here. [19:27] my perception is reality luv [19:28] forget what they think [19:28] FOX2, no it's not. and don't call people 'luv' [19:29] I get more support on #8chan [19:30] that's because your behaviour is more compatible with them :) [19:31] Seveas: i actually don't know what #8chan is... but i _know_ your comment is funny ;) [19:33] alright... so occasionally, I'll open a new tab in Chrome, and then everything will just crash and take me back to my login screen. No idea what conditions produce it... which logs should I be checking?

[19:49] nicomachus: 2050 actually [19:49] nicomachus: sometimes i'm not even able to login unless i disconnect the hub that the monitors are running off of [19:49] and this error didn't start until I connected it. [19:50] nicomachus: that looks like X just crashed. [19:50] nicomachus: i think it's a bug in the mulitple monitor support, but i haven't debugged it further [19:50] nicomachus: if i start up w/o the monitors connected, then connect the hub, it gneerally works fine (although i somteimes have to muck with the settings to put them in the right place) [19:50] I wonder why an extra tab in Chrome would set that off, though? [19:50] nacc: I've read about that odd workaround before. [19:51] nicomachus: because bugs in X are not unheard of, and chrome has been known to tickle X bugs. [19:51] is it totally acceptable (in terms of keeping ubuntu updated) to install steam via apt-get? The steam in the software centre wants me to go through a buy process which requires an ubuntu 1 account, whereas the apt-get method doesn't. Are they the same? Will the apt-get method approach be kept updated and not screw anything up with my ubuntu desktop over time? [19:51] nicomachus: yeah, it's annoying, but not so critical to me right now that i care too much [19:51] nicomachus: try a different Ubuntu version. It may help. [19:51] nicomachus: ah interesting, i got a segfault in X [19:51] nicomachus: in my logs [19:52] well, I guess I'll just have to remember to save my work before letting Chrome go on a tickle spree.

Why do it that way? What does that do that apt-get doesn't? [19:53] ttal: use the apt-get method, it works perfectly. I use it almost daily. It stays up to date as well. [19:54] nicomachus: ok, yeah I used it on another system a few days ago and worked fine. whats the difference? [19:54] just wondering what the difference is between all these methods of install, and whether they are maintained and updated automatically by ubuntu whichever method I chose? [19:54] ttal: there isn't really one, the ubu-software center uses apt-get under the hood [19:54] ttal: the apt-get method should be the same as the software center... [19:55] ttal: in short yes if you use apt-get you will still get the auto updates through the GUI updater since it also uses apt-get under the hood [19:56] ok great, so downloading from the website may not be the best idea. It may download a newer version with unforseen bugs not accounted for or tested by ubuntu? [19:56] yes. [19:56] the apt-get and packaged versions autoupdate into ~/.steam anyway [19:56] chasinglogic: nicomachus: thanks guys, really appreciate the help. [19:56] so it's six of one, half-dozen of the other [19:57] rww: ok got it, thanks. [19:58] :- [19:59] Hi [20:00] when you install a package via aptitude vs apt-get, they both still end up pulling from the same sources right? or no [20:00] yes stacks88 [20:00] stacks88: yes. and "apt install foo" as well. [20:02] as well as the software center [20:02] geirha: all the same repo! [20:02] geirha: well, software center _might_ be a bit different... [20:03] geirha: being the "app store" of ubuntu and all... [20:05] sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades [20:05] update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults [20:05] how to solve that ? === Joshua_Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis [20:09] Hello there, my name is Markus and I currently study Game Development at a university. I am making a game as a project and I would like to add Unix support. One obstacle is the very specific way my game engine uses some windows specific mouse functions (setting the position of the mouse pointer). I figured that rolling my own, software mouse pointer, would [20:09] be better than adding support for specific OS'es. I am currently stuck at Mouse Acceleration though. Is there anyone in here I could talk to about what Microsoft likes to call Mouse Ballistics? My ideal situation would be to straight out use the one from Ubuntu, but I am unsure if I am allowed and where to find it. [20:12] hi everyone [20:12] I've gotten into a bit of a problem [20:13] I'm creating a small personal webpage and needed user access to /var/www, so I followed instructions on the web and used chown [20:13] now I can't do anything without sudo [20:14] i thought ubuntu was all sudo [20:14] williamsudo: did you change anything else? like your computer's name? [20:14] williamsudo: what command did you run ? [20:14] its a beginners distro so they dont want people messing it up [20:15] sudo chown -R guille:guille /var/www/ [20:15] eb0t: i'd bet a few people don't appreciate your "colour commentary" about ubuntu... [20:15] williamsudo: that is wrong [20:15] waht colour commentary [20:15] just trying to help [20:15] eb0t: be actual helpfull [20:15] oh I also used this [20:16] eb0t: never mind, i'm not going to repeat it. [20:16] sudo chmod -R 666 /var/www/ [20:16] are you su'ed into the apache user? [20:16] williamsudo: put yourself into the www-data group. then you can pplace files there [20:16] try typing "sudo su " [20:16] williamsudo: that is just plain wrong [20:16] luketheduke1: NO! [20:16] luketheduke1: we don't use su. never su. [20:16] no dont use su...thats only on proper distros with ubuntu you godda use just sudo [20:16] guys, stop giving bad advice. a proper user/group managment is all he needs [20:16] nicomachus: su just means switch user. [20:17] Could anyone tell me which Ubuntu team is responsible for the mouse? My first thought was ubuntu-unity since they are responsible for the keyboard menu. [20:17] if you run su then it switches to that user [20:17] luketheduke1, I did that but it still denies me permission [20:17] Pursche01: what's your issue? [20:17] williamsudo: did you read what i said? [20:18] k1l_: I need access to the whole computer now [20:18] use sudo to switch user, not su [20:18] not just var/www [20:18] geirha, sudo runs something as super user. That's not good [20:18] nicomachus, I am developing a game and would like to add Unix support. I am however using some Windows specific API's for moving the mouse. I figured a better solution would be to make a software mouse, I would like to ask some questions about mouse acceleration in Ubuntu. [20:18] Hi guys. I just upgraded my server from 14.04 to 15.04. Some packages wasn't upgraded properly, most importantly apt itself. I can't update it using 'apt-get install apt' due to unresolved dependencies. What to do? [20:18] luketheduke1: unless you tell it to run as a different user ... [20:19] geirha, yes. But you didn't specify that & it defaults to running as super user [20:19] Pursche01: ok, perhaps #ubuntu-dev would be a good place to start. Mouse inputs are handled by X in ubuntu, iirc, but the dev guys can help. [20:19] snufk1n: if this is a server, why exactly are you upgrading to a release that will be stopped being supported in a few days? [20:19] luketheduke1: so does su [20:19] Alright, thank you nicomachus! [20:19] luketheduke1: please read about what sudo does [20:19] geirha, that is why I said 'su ' [20:19] sudo -s -u otheruser [20:20] snufk1n, why did you do that ? [20:20] xangua: I'm planning om upgrading to 15.10 as soon as I've got everything working. ioria [20:20] luketheduke1: no, I'm running nginx and I'm the system's admin === lulcat is now known as loldog [20:20] Couldn't upgrade directly to 15.10 [20:20] snufk1n: sidenote 14.04 can ONLY upgrade to 14.10... from 14.10 you could then upgrade to 15.04... no skipping releases unless it's LTS->LTS [20:21] snufk1n: and how exactly did you upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04? you can't either directly upgrade for that [20:21] what can I do to regain user access? [20:21] snufk1n, you are going from upstart to systemd ... can you paste the various errors you got ? [20:21] williamsudo: where do you have no access? [20:21] anywhere [20:22] I can't do anything without sudo [20:22] williamsudo: so "sudo ls" fails? [20:22] xangua: Ehm, no idea how that happened. The info (from system settings) said 14.04, then it upgraded to vivid. [20:22] williamsudo: so there must have been some other command [20:22] k1l_: +1 [20:22] williamsudo: and that means you messed alle syste priviledges. which means you need to reinstall [20:22] snufk1n, do-release-upgrade ? after changing release-upgrade ? [20:22] ioria: Yup [20:23] zykotick9: no, it doesn't [20:23] Seriously, I've seen at least 1 daily issue where a user is offered 14.04 to 15.04! here's the proof (¿) [20:23] ioria: Also, unresolved dependencies is libapt-pkg4.12 and libstdc++6 [20:23] Can't install those directly either, nothing happens [20:23] williamsudo: i _really_ do think, something else was done, besides your chown/chmod... [20:23] what do you recommend when trying to recover deleted files in folder on ext4 filesystem, ssd? [20:23] williamsudo: the 2 commands you showed dont touch "the whole system". so there must have been other commands. maybe accidently or typos [20:23] snufk1n, you have a little work in front of you ... [20:23] k1l_: I have access to everything, but with sudo [20:24] williamsudo: and since you cant repair all system permissions you will need to reinstall. [20:24] k1l_: The problem lies in that I need sudo-free commands and that it's very annoying [20:24] ioria: Would you suggest upgrading to 15.10 before fixing it, hoping it somehow gets resolved by itself? [20:24] williamsudo: what commands? [20:25] git [20:25] ssh keys [20:25] etc [20:25] williamsudo: so what commands did you run with chmo/chown? [20:25] sudo -i # and your whole (terminal) session is root [20:25] snufk1n: seriously, if you use a server stick with LTS [20:25] snufk1n, really idk ... you'll need to -f install something and maybe remove/purge others .... can you paste the errors ? [20:26] k1l_: chown and chmod [20:26] xangua: To late for that now [20:26] williamsudo: what exactly? we try to find the command you did that messed your whole system to decide if we can help you rescue your system or if it needs a reinstall. [20:26] ioria: Hold on a sec [20:26] williamsudo: fyi, "history" might be helpful? are you sure you didn't run anything else? [20:27] k1l_: sudo chmod -R 666 /var/www/ and sudo chown -R guille:guille /var/www/ [20:27] williamsudo: so i would try to give as much honest information if you want to try to rescue that system. if you dont want do a reinstall and learn from that mistake [20:27] snufk1n: ioria: found this bug that occurs when upgrading directly from 14.04 to 15.04. possible source of the issue here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/init-system-helpers/+bug/1509816 [20:27] Launchpad bug 1032823 in lvm2 (Ubuntu Xenial) "duplicate for #1509816 package libdevmapper-event1.02.1 2:1.02.48-4ubuntu7.1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured" [High,Fix released] === loldog is now known as luldog [20:27] nicomachus, yep [20:28] williamsudo: that would have only touched /var/www and should not interfer with the rest of the system. that should work as before. only the stuff that works in /var/www [20:28] *is affected [20:28] ioria: http://pastebin.com/y7bbUWGQ [20:29] nicomachus: Gonna check it out, thanks [20:29] snufk1n, why are reinstalling apt ?

[20:30] williamsudo: sorry, i don't visit pastebin.com... best of luck though! [20:30] DrFreaky: The spying is going away in 16.04. Finally. [20:30] Canonical is a wannabe Microsoft LOL [20:30] luketheduke1: there is no spying [20:31] k1l_: it automatically sends data to third parties & is opt-out. That's not very cool [20:31] luketheduke1: see the FUD factoid from the bot [20:31] luketheduke1: please take that discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:32] luketheduke1: so every browser or program that connects to the internet is spying on you? its FUD. dont call it like that. its labeled "online and local search" so its clear it sends that somewhere.

Is it anything like VBOX or is it just in the developmental stages/ [20:37] ioria: As long as we don't break the filesystem, I'm willing to try your ideas. Nothing of importance to be lost anyway.

[20:41] ioria: Stuck in a loop going from dist-upgrade to autoremove [20:41] in ubuntu which device file is sound output [20:41] snufk1n, if apt not working you have to use dpkg -P and manually install the deb packages from ubuntu web site [20:42] Im running 15.10, kernal 4.2.0-16, and my ethernet port doesnt work. It recognizes the device, but will not turn it on [20:42] ioria: Lel, was literally asking about that right now. I'll try that now [20:42] hi would need some help to connect to my new ubuntu server via ssh.. every time i connect it says either network unreachable, connection refused or time out [20:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14592557/ The NIC link goes down but will not go back up.

[20:42] snufk1n, http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid-updates/libapt-pkg4.12 [20:43] dar: why? [20:43] MediocreNut: does it work with the original ubuntu kernel? [20:43] nicomachus: I'm having conflicts, can't install the both of them O_o [20:43] Thanks. I'll be back with results in a few minutes [20:43] iRy: verify that you have the correct syntax, hostname, and IP address. [20:43] k1l_: i've only tried going to 4.2.0-23, and in that my wireless doesnt even work. I'm not sure what you mean by the origional [20:44] nicomachus: I just want to know I'm not alone :D [20:44] MediocreNut: sorry was confused with the 15.04 kernel. please run a "sudo apt update && sudo apt fll-upgrade" your kernel is not the latest [20:44] dar: why would you need both? is your machine 64 bit or 32? [20:44] MediocreNut: should be a 4.2.0-25 kernel today [20:44] nicomachus: I need both to compile in multi-arch [20:44] snufk1n, http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/libstdc++6 [20:44] k1l_: if i update to 4.2.0-23 or 4.2.0-25 my wireless dies [20:44] k1l_: Thanks I'll try that now. Will it give me normal access as before? i.e. can I now for example nano help.txt in my home folder? [20:44] williamsudo: all that doesnt touch your home directory [20:44] nicmachus: here comes the problem. i'm trying to connect to a IPv6 adress [20:45] MediocreNut: does the ethernet work there? [20:45] iRy: ohhhh. that can be trickier, and I'm not all that familiar with it. My machines still have IPv4 in addition to their IPv6 addresses, and I just use the 4. but the man page for SSH should have instructions on connecting to IPv6 [20:45] snufk1n, or drastically dpkg -P apt and manually download it ..... (it will be a mess :( ) [20:45] k1l_: no i lose all network [20:46] this ipv6 is killing me [20:46] k1l_: it works in my windows partition tho, so i know the hardware is good [20:46] k1l_: how do I give myself permission to use my home directory? [20:47] williamsudo: none of that commands you showed did touch your home directory. so i still dont know what is going on on your system [20:47] williamsudo: i think you really screwed your system before this [20:47] iRy: did you check the man page? [20:48] Howdy! [20:48] k1l_: it worked perfectly before this [20:48] nicomachus: yes thats what i did the past 3 hours plus google of course [20:49] williamsudo: what does "ls -ld /home/YOURUSERNAME" show for ownership? [20:49] williamsudo: cd ~ [20:49] k1l_: I'll only be using www though, so it's not much of a nuisance, thanks a lot everyone [20:49] iRy: it should just be "ssh -6 xxxx::xx:xxx:xxxx:xxxx" with whatever your address it. [20:49] williamsudo: then "ls -al" in a pastebin [20:49] s/it/is [20:49] k1l_: "cd" is faster ;) [20:49] nicomachus: debug1: connect to address 2a02:XXX:XXX:XXX:7d90:be26:46f0:ab70 port 22: Network is unreachable [20:49] zykotick9: drwxr-xr-x 5 guille guille 4096 Jan 21 20:22 /home/guille [20:50] Guys there are 30~ computers on our computer lab, and we are going to install Ubuntu all of them. All computers are same and i think maybe there is a tool/utility which backups system image so I can restore image for other computers [20:50] iRy: and port 22 is open, correct? [20:50] williamsudo: i think you chaned ownership of a LOT more then just /var/www to guille:guille!!! [20:50] nicomachus: yes [20:50] mrtAkdeniz: use clonezilla and take an image of the first 1 you setup [20:50] nicomachus: port forwarding / mac forwarding enabled [20:50] By doing that, I can only install OS and other components on one computer, and install image for others. [20:50] iRy: perhaps the guys in ##networking could help... I'm just not familiar enough with 6. [20:50] k1l_: http://pastebin.com/gKnbrKCg [20:50] williamsudo: oh, is that your username? probably is... [20:50] mrtAkdeniz: or setup a pxe boot server and supply the image you want [20:51] nicomachus: thx so far [20:51] zykotick9: my username is guille [20:51] MediocreNut, pxe boot server is a network thing, right? [20:51] Hi [20:51] williamsudo: you are not in your users home. do a "cd ~" then "ls -al" [20:51] williamsudo: sorry, i was a bit slow there ;) [20:51] hey all [20:51] mrtAkdeniz: yes, https://www.debian-administration.org/article/478/Setting_up_a_server_for_PXE_network_booting [20:52] will it be slow? [20:52] is there a way to bring up a terminal during the install ubuntu process? like while its copying files? [20:52] mrtAkdeniz: hell of a lot faster than installing 1 by 1 [20:52] k1l_: http://pastebin.com/SvTfXm76 [20:52] mrtAkdeniz: depends on whether you have 10/100 or 10/100/1000 cards/cables in that lab. [20:52] LordDragon: did you try alt+f2? [20:52] is that just me or sudo is really slow? [20:52] But again, anyone have an idea of this enp0s25 NIC link down issue? [20:53] zykotick9: would that open the terminal in a window? or is that full screen text terminal? [20:53] MediocreNut, I'm not asking about the process speed, I'm asking about boot speed. [20:53] Swe3tDave: what do you mean slow....? sudo isn't a command, it doesn't do anything except give permissions to your commands. [20:53] williamsudo: "sudo chown guille:guille .nano_history" [20:53] LordDragon: oh sorry, GUI i forgot. alt+ctrl+f2 _might_ open a VT. fyi, it's alt+f7 to get back. [20:53] mrtAkdeniz: you can boot to an iso file, that will let you install onto each pc [20:53] williamsudo: else everything is ok and should work [20:53] zykotick9: ty ill try that [20:54] k1l_: it works thanks!! [20:54] nicomachus: i mean sudo echo blah takes 10 seconds to as for password.. and i'm on a i7-6700k... [20:54] :D [20:54] as/ask/ [20:54] williamsudo: for the future now: dont use sudo on every command. it will break your system [20:55] MediocreNut, every computer will probably has 2 OSes -windows and ubuntu-, which would you prefer to do? PXE / CloneZilla ? [20:55] k1l_: Oh, was that it? I didn't have permission on www so I kept using sudo [20:55] k1l_: got it, I won't use sudo if it's not necessary [20:55] Thanks everyone!! [20:55] Having issues getting x to work on my laptop. Went into recovery mode. it says it can detect a screen but it's not configured? [20:55] mrtAkdeniz: well are you going to format the hd when you install, or are you going to run windows and ubuntu on both [20:55] williamsudo: its not necessary most of the time. [20:55] mrtAkdeniz: on all* [20:56] I'll install Windows and Ubuntu for 1 computer, than copy that HDD into other computers [20:56] williamsudo: with 5 minutes of thinking you could have made the proper group and user setup and have avoided all that hustle. [20:57] Swe3tDave: that is... odd. I got nothin. [20:58] I'll install Windows and Ubuntu for 1 computer, than copy that HDD into other computers, MediocreNut [20:58] then* [20:58] mrtAkdeniz: I'd just use clonezilla then tbh. its way simpler and your only doing 30 cpus [20:58] mrtAkdeniz: install it on 1 computer, get everything setup correctly. [20:58] then backup and restore on others.. MediocreNut [20:59] Thanks! [20:59] anyone else experience freezing in firefox when unlocking their screen? [20:59] mrtAkdeniz: take your image, host it on a computer you have running. Boot into clonzilla and install from the ip/path of the computer with the image on it [20:59] mrtAkdeniz: then you can install multiple at a time without having 30 clonezilla usb's [20:59] What's the difference in a .vdi file and a dd'ed drive? === supersoj1 is now known as supersoju [21:00] k1l_: any idea on this enp0s25 NIC link down? [21:00] besides upgrading kernal to .25, cause i lose all networking when i do that [21:01] MediocreNut: you can boot the .25 to try. if it doesnt work reboot and choose the old one in grub [21:01] k1l_: yeah, just tried booting to it. it actually makes the wired connection work, but all wireless dies [21:02] k1l_: its a seperate laptop im messing with [21:02] once again thanks for all your help #ubuntu. [21:02] MediocreNut: so i would now use ethernet and see how to fix the wireless [21:05] how can i manually bring up the enp0s25 NIC link?

[21:26] The only panel on the back is to access the ram... stupid dell designers [21:26] odd.. every dell lappy ive dealt with the hdd wasn't a hard thing to access [21:26] but i believe ya [21:26] what model [21:27] luketheduke1, got it figured out, thanks. [21:29] Its a insspiron N4010 [21:31] @Ben64 [21:31] ... [21:31] Anyway, if I install ubuntu to a sd card. Wont that "burn" the card up? [21:32] Reading and writing multiple times? [21:32] yes after a while [21:32] but the more pressing issue is that it's going to be crap performance [21:33] Ahh okay [21:34] So if I don't want to replace the hdd... my options are limited? [21:34] it doesn't look too hard to replace the drive [21:34] just take your time and keep track of screws [21:34] Did you look it up on youtube? [21:34] yep [21:34] J4TFOI? [21:35] its like 3 parts [21:35] rockstar180, also, take pics and you tear it apart...if you go the replacement route [21:35] take pics as(not and) you tear it apart [21:35] I was going to take a video lol [21:35] whenever i take a laptop apart, i put the screws on a table in the same orientation they came from in the laptop [21:35] so each screw goes back where it came from [21:36] sometimes they're different lengths [21:36] I just really hate to see this laptop go to waste. Its already been replaced already but the specs are still decent for light gaming and surfing the web. [21:37] yeah pop in a new drive or even better, a small ssd [21:37] I've installed windows 10 and ubuntu 15.10 both in uefi mode on a fresh hd. Any idea why after booting into windows for the first time the grub loader is missing? Happens every time after repair when I boot back into win 10 [21:37] Are all laptop drives the same size? [21:37] mikehaas763, windows repair is messing it up. You don't want to 'repair' it through windows [21:37] rockstar180: 2.5" yep [21:38] mikehaas763, more specifically, every time you run the windows repair, it wipes the part of the disk that starts & replaces that part with windows' own bootloader [21:38] thus displacing grub [21:38] Thanks [21:39] @luketheduke1 I didn't run repair through windows. I've booted from my ubuntu usb to repair [21:39] mikehaas763: Oh. What are you doing to repair it from ubuntu usb? [21:39] rockstar180: the only thing you need to look out for is sata vs ide [21:40] Laptop was purchased in 2011 [21:42] I don't remember, let me run back through it again and I'll post back [21:44] hi all [21:48] hi all i'm trying to install an old version of llvm: libllvm-3.1-ocaml-dev but none of the repo ppa have that in them [21:48] how can i find a ppa that hold this version ? [21:48] i ve dont this sry [21:48] labba: if it's not in official repository or third party repositorym, compile it yourself [21:49] i need the apt-get install because i have an app that requires old versions such as also: ocaml-base-nox=3.12.1-2ubuntu2 [21:49] so i can't just compile it all alone [21:50] i need the support of the "apt-get install" [21:50] so i'm looking for ppa that will have that old version of ubuntu 12.04 [21:51] would be easier to just use 12.04, it's still supported [21:51] damn, idk what's different this time around but after disabling the "Secure Boot" in my asrock z77 extreme 4 uefi it just started working again. What an odd bug how it works the first time booting into win 10 but then overrides grub following that [21:51] yea... but we have upgraded .. and now paying the price [21:51] :/ [21:51] the price of what¿ you can download ubuntu for free [21:51] i would like to install ubuntu. Im using win7 [21:52] noelBE: load the ubuntu.iso, make it a live usb/dvd and run that to install [21:52] so no one know of an archive ppa line ? [21:53] witch ubuntu version can i install? [21:53] best ubuntu version [21:53] I guess the one with witches [21:53] sorry for my english [21:54] noelBE: ubuntu 14.04, 64bit , if your hardware is 64bit [21:54] It's okay. 14.04 64 bit is good. It's LTS, or long term support [21:54] 12.04, how can I get a list of official packages? a website says openjdk-8-jdk should be available, but I'm not seeing it [21:54] Joel: packages.ubuntu.com [21:55] k1l_, thanks [21:55] thanks k1l [21:55] having a problem with regularly occuring system hangs, nothing in syslog or journalctl, nothing in /var/crash/, how do i troubleshoot? [21:56] platz, does top show anything while it's happening? [21:56] the screen completely freezes [21:57] ick [21:57] i tried the SysRq trick to reboot, that didn't work [21:57] all that worked was turning th laptop light on and off via fn key [21:57] Does Ctrl+Alt+F1 take you out? [21:57] no [21:57] hmm [21:58] noelBE: what? [21:58] i thought about some crash program to capture it, but not sure that will work [21:59] is there a probleme that i dont have alot of experience with ubuntu [21:59] platz: Do you have the means to connect to it via SSH from another computer? [21:59] noelBE: no. most people started as beginners on ubuntu [22:00] thanks [22:00] Stinky_Feet: I could try that next time, sure [22:00] not a bad idea [22:00] i had tried win10, but i wasnt so happy about this [22:02] i saw that ubuntu have alot of possibityes [22:03] ps are there also dutch speaking people here on chat? [22:04] !du [22:04] !be | noelBE [22:04] anyone aware of any packages to enable "natural scrolling" on ubuntu 15.10? [22:04] noelBE: there is #ubuntu-be [22:04] thanks [22:05] mikehaas763: looked into the mouse settings in systemsettings? iirc there was a setting to invert scrolling [22:05] mikehaas763: open your mouse settings [22:05] platz: Actually, if it is really hung it won't work, but if you are already connected and monitoring dmesg, you might get something... Don't hope for much, just something to try. [22:05] i'm trying to update (by apt-get update) and i'm getting the error: Cannot initiate the connection to us.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (2001:67c:1562::15). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) [IP: 2001:67c:1562::15 80] [22:06] but all my nics are configured for ipv4 only, any ideas why updates are trying to go thru ipv6? [22:06] @k1l_ @xangua when I go to system settings -> mouse & touchpad I only see settings for primary button, double click speed and pointer speed [22:06] donu7: ipv6 is on the internet, [22:06] your isp should have a gateway to ipv6 networks [22:06] mikehaas763: which ubuntu exactly? [22:07] @k1l_ ubuntu 15.10 desktop [22:07] mikehaas763: then look closer. i have that setting right in front of me [22:08] @k1l_ do you have a touchpad hooked up? === GitGud is now known as HouseMD [22:08] its a laptop. [22:08] ikonia: the network i'm in has ipv6 disabled. i'm having a few odd network issues going (trying to set up a static dhcp network) but the box has an extra nic that's using ipv4 only w/ dhcp [22:09] mikehaas763: and that is what natural scrolling is for: for using it with a touchpad [22:09] that must be why, it must only be enabled for touchpads [22:09] donu7: it's not your network, it's the gateway of your network provider === HouseMD is now known as {8 [22:09] @k1l_ bologna. There is no restriction for that there. outta the box macs which I believe were the first to popularize natural scrolling will also do natural scrolling for any mouse [22:10] I see, ty ikonia [22:10] mikehaas763: no === {8 is now known as HouseMD [22:12] @k1l_ yes. If you are bouncing between a docking station with a regular mouse (I have the magic mouse) and going to meetings etc with just your laptop it's extremely disorienting to switch scroll directions. I used to feel the same way then got used to natural scrolling with a mouse and now I'd never turn back [22:13] two finger scroll on a touchpad vs scroll up on a mouse are absolutely no different so it's just a preference as to whether you like natural scrolling or not [22:14] mikehaas763: that is your subjective opinion. technically there is a lot difference between scrolling on a mousepad with 2 fingers or the scrollwheel on the mouse. [22:15] mikehaas763: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/234042/how-do-i-configure-natural-scrolling-with-an-apple-magic-mouse if you want to change that [22:15] You're right, it is subjective. Which is why you shouldn't have mentioned "and that is what natural scrolling is for: for using it with a touchpad". Because I can tell you there are millions of people who disagree with that. [22:16] "technically there is a lot difference between scrolling on a mousepad with 2 fingers or the scrollwheel on the mouse." <- no, there isn't. You can think about it as moving a scrollbar or moving the content in the scrolling container (which is natural scrolling). It has nothing to do with wheel on mouse or two finger scroll [22:18] thankfully just discovered "ubuntu tweak" which includes an easy switch to turn on natural scrolling [22:25] hi all [22:26] can somebody gimme heads up - where i can find full iso image of 12.04.5 LTS (server) to install OS on the server without network [22:27] if you want to help me with a lvcreate issue: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=126665 [22:27] lerner: #debian for debian issues [22:28] was looking through repos, and didn't find it.

[23:26] @Bashing-om not placed at 15.10 fresh setup [23:28] @Bashing-om a startx doesnt help, a reinstall unity dont solve, was forced to resetup new, but must be possible to use mate a second wm [23:29] @Bashing-om after installing mate lightdm changes look and most settings, after remove meta-p-mate X run into failsave mode :-( [23:30] @Bashing-om seems mate places lightdm conf into /etc and unity into /usr/share.. [23:32] anao2: 15.10 is systemd for the initiate servce . I have no familiarity . sorry - do not know what to advise . [23:34] @Bashing-om yep your right, systemd makes more problems! cant be purged on debian 8.2 too cause too deep inside the apps!! [23:35] anao2: Just different, change is always hard to adjust too . We are all going to have to learn at some point . [23:35] Incorrect. Debian supports running without systemd just fine.
