[00:00] <voz> cheeseboy is the name issue causing a problem? its it wired or just wireless?
[00:00] <cheeseboy> econdudeawesome, on the ssh server, as root, type "service ssh status"
[00:00] <cheeseboy> voz: no, it's not causing any issues
[00:00] <cheeseboy> just wondering why it's like that
[00:00] <cheeseboy> it's both, voz
[00:00] <econdudeawesome> listening on 0:0:0:0 port #### (not 22)
[00:00] <cheeseboy> both wlan0 and eth0 are known as wlp3s0 and enp0s25 respectively
[00:01] <cheeseboy> not 22, econdudeawesome?
[00:01] <cheeseboy> ohhh
[00:01] <cheeseboy> i see
[00:01] <cheeseboy> you blanked it rofl
[00:01] <cheeseboy> why did you blank it out?
[00:01] <k1l_> econdudeawesome: did you restart ssh daemon after setting the port to another one?
[00:01] <econdudeawesome> k1l_: yes
[00:01] <cheeseboy> he blanked out the port to stop us from hacking his sshd rofl
[00:02] <econdudeawesome> cheeseboy: Like I said, I'm new :D
[00:02] <cheeseboy> let me guess, you're running it on port 1337
[00:02] <econdudeawesome> nope
[00:02] <econdudeawesome> ah, that was it
[00:02] <econdudeawesome> wasn't connecting the client to the open port
[00:03] <mikubuntu> voz omg nothing can ever be easy. installer says no disk drive detected. wants me to select a driver for the disk drive, or continue without.
[00:03] <econdudeawesome> now I'm getting a "Permission Denied (public key)
[00:03] <cheeseboy> the sshd only accept pub keys
[00:03] <cheeseboy> apparently
[00:03] <cheeseboy> econdudeawesome, are you SSHing as the correct user?
[00:04] <cheeseboy> temporarily enable password auth so you can use ssh-copy-id
[00:04] <econdudeawesome> cheeseboy: will do
[00:04] <cheeseboy> then lock it back down
[00:05] <voz> cheeseboy not sure i have one that is weird as well but if i plug in a wired modem then i get wlan0
[00:06] <voz> mikubuntu are you in the installer or is it a live boot?
[00:06] <econdudeawesome> cheeseboy: man page is hard to follow for me. If my ip is 8.8.8.8, do I (from the client) do: name@8.8.8.8 ssh-copy-id -p ### ?
[00:07] <cheeseboy> 8.8.8.8 is the sshd IP
[00:07] <econdudeawesome> yes
[00:07] <cheeseboy> the machine running the sshd?
[00:07] <econdudeawesome> (just using as an example)
[00:07] <mikubuntu> voz its the mini.iso of 64bit lubuntu 14.04, and it din't offer me a run live option
[00:07] <cheeseboy> no, just do this: ssh-copy-id user@8.8.8.8
[00:07] <econdudeawesome> ah
[00:07] <cheeseboy> and then enter the password when it asks
[00:09] <voz> mikubuntu it might be hard to mount it unless it was enable before. how old is your disk drive?
[00:14] <mikubuntu> voz -- the box not mine, my friend gave it to me last nite to see if i could get it to work. first no power cord, i spent two hours shopping thrift stores today and found a power cord. there's definitely a hdd becasue it wanted to boot to windows home premium (vista i suppose), but there was a previous user with password so i never fully booted it. i'm guessing its original hdd.
[00:15] <econdudeawesome> appears to hang when running ssh-copy-id
[00:16] <yeats> econdudeawesome: does it hang when you ssh to it?
[00:16] <econdudeawesome> no
[00:16] <voz> mikubuntu: i looked into the bios not booting it seems it will refuse to take you there if there is something failing in the computer.
[00:16] <econdudeawesome> tried running with -i, that appears to have fixed the issue
[00:17] <voz> mikubuntu im hoping its not that but i would suggest looking into it make sure the hdd hasnt died or is failing
[00:17] <econdudeawesome> well, now that I turned off password authentication, the issue is back...
[00:18] <voz> mikubuntu you can always try installing a smaller linux just to get the system set on linux then try the mini ubuntu iso
[00:19] <mikubuntu> voz i know the box is know for having a problem with randomly assigning a bios password, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, i did finally get into the bios and the installation is in progress -- should i take the option to skip identifying the disk driver and see where it leads?
[00:19] <mikubuntu> voz: so that i can blame it all on you?
[00:20] <cspack> econdudeawesome: what is the error message now?
[00:20] <voz> mikubuntu that is your choice not mine, i only make suggestions
[00:20] <econdudeawesome> "Permission Denied (public key)"
[00:20] <econdudeawesome> cspack: "Permission Denied (public key)"
[00:20] <svetlana> ssh?
[00:21] <econdudeawesome> svetlana: ssh
[00:21] <svetlana> configure sshd to log 'debug' level; restart sshd; try to connect to it; read the sshd logs
[00:21] <cspack> econdudeawesome: are you specifying username? i.e. "ssh username @ipaddress"
[00:21] <econdudeawesome> yes
[00:21] <econdudeawesome> I'm going to try and regenerate authorized_keys
[00:22] <econdudeawesome> I copied text into it earlier
[00:22] <Bashing-om> mikubuntu: Does the 'buntu install CD boot in another box ?
[00:25] <mikubuntu> Bashing-om: it IS booted in now -- the current question is why the installer says it doesn't detect an hdd driver. its offering to skip and move forward so i'm going to do that and see where it leads :(
[00:27] <Bashing-om> mikubuntu: K.
[00:27] <mikubuntu> Bashing-om: although i *might* take a smoke break on the way
[00:28] <voz> mikibuntu if you continue where will it install if not on the disk drive?
[00:28] <Bashing-om> mikubuntu: Lung therapy isd good for the aggravation factor .
[00:28] <econdudeawesome> worked!!!
[00:28] <econdudeawesome> THanks for the helps
[00:33] <grass843> Hello
[00:34] <grass843> My system no longer detects the network card since Ubuntu base update on Monday
[00:34] <grass843> Any suggestions ?
[00:35] <grass843> ...
[00:38] <grass843> No ideas...
[00:38] <Majora320> eenode
[00:38] <econdudeawesome> mostly working now, got full command line access. Not sure how to X11forward to a chromebook however :D
[00:38] <OerHeks> grass843, seems  "These bugs hits ubuntu trusty 14.04 with Pre-released updates : trusty-proposed"
[00:39] <OerHeks> http://askubuntu.com/questions/727127/last-upgrade-crashes-network-manager-no-internet-connection-no-applet
[00:40] <grass843> I will read this article and try to get my server back online. Thank you for your assistance .
[00:40] <spygame> hi everyone, i have an iptable firewall setup on my vps ubuntu 14.04 but i can't ssh to my server anymore. any suggestions how i can regain access to it ?
[00:41] <eelstrebor> i just installed tomato and my wifi keeps dying
[00:41] <cspack> econdudeawesome: did you turn X11Forward on in the server config? If so, try connecting with ssh -X user@host
[00:42] <econdudeawesome> cspack: I did, and connected with -X

[00:48] <econdudeawesome> First time I've seen trolls in #ubuntu
[00:48] <grass843> Well atleast I have an error now .
[00:49] <svetlana> econdudeawesome, sorry, I was not following your progress; did you manage to log in with the pubkey?
[00:51] <grass843> I did Sudo service network-manger and found the service was stopped
[00:52] <grass843> I tried to start the service now I have an error report
[00:52] <mikubuntu> voz i guess this 'no disk drive detected' is a problem
[00:52] <econdudeawesome> svetlana: I did. Now figuring Xforwarding for a chromebook
[00:53] <svetlana> is chromebook the host or the client?
[00:53] <econdudeawesome> client
[00:53] <svetlana> does it have X running?
[00:53] <grass843> Nmcli-con failed with exit code 9
[00:53] <econdudeawesome> svetlana: I dont know how to know for sure. Server has X. Chromebook just has ChromeoS...
[00:54] <grass843> Nmcli-Dev failed with exit code 8
[00:55] <econdudeawesome> But again, I think thats getting offtopic for the forum. If you want to continue the discussion, I've hopped over to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:55] <svetlana> econdudeawesome, I think you would have to get Xorg running on the client for X forwarding to work over ssh; they have a support group at google groups
[00:56] <mikubuntu> voz i wonder if another installer besides the mini will be any better -- burning the alt right now bc it fits on a cd, and this box won't boot from usb
[00:58] <squinty> mikubuntu,   https://www.plop.at/en/home.html   burn the small free program to cd and boot from it.  it will then allow booting from usb for computers that don't support booting from usb
[00:58] <dani_> Hi guys..
[00:59] <mikubuntu> squinty any way to determine the disk driver from this search? https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=satellite+a215-s4757+disk+driver
[00:59] <dani_> today i have bought myself an AverTV Volar HD Nano. on the box it says supports linux... im not sure how to install it... any ideas as to where to start would be appreciated...
[01:00] <mikubuntu> squinty pretty sure i tried that plop thing about a year ago and had trouble understanding/making it work
[01:00] <squinty> mikubuntu,  only just logged on and so am not familiar with what you are asking re satellite disk
[01:02] <grass843> Eh still can't get the network-manager service to run
[01:02] <ObrienDave> grass843, i am having the SAME issue
[01:03] <grass843> Mine just started Monday when I performed updates
[01:03] <ObrienDave> and BOTH of my laptops quit connecting about the same time. makes NO sense at all
[01:04] <mikubuntu> squinty been wrastling with this satellite all day and finally got it to boot, but the installer is hung up saying no disk driver detected. it gives a long list to select from, but i don't know one from another wanted to see if anyone knew how to determine the driver by make/model of machine (toshiba satellite a215 -S4757)
[01:04] <grass843> And I no longer have the files in cache to roll it back
[01:04] <ObrienDave> using    sudo service network-manager restart     has no effect
[01:04] <squinty> mikubuntu, https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html   download the zip and unzip it. burn plpbt.iso  to cd
[01:05] <grass843> I can go through the hassle of downloading and re applying the files .... Or I could nuke and pave hmmmm
[01:06] <mikubuntu> squinty which one there are nine :P
[01:09] <kian> Is there an easy tool that remaps keyboard keys?
[01:09] <squinty> mikubuntu,  plpbt-5.0.15.zip   should be good afaik
[01:10] <mikubuntu> squinty ok, don't leave the country
[01:10] <mikubuntu> :P
[01:12] <grass843> Best Ubuntu distro to run plex on?
[01:12] <ObrienDave> !best
[01:13] <ObrienDave> darn they got rid of all the good factoids. grrrrrr
[01:13] <dani_> would installing something in Mint be the same as installing in ubuntu???
[01:13] <ObrienDave> yes and no
[01:13] <grass843> Google?
[01:15] <ObrienDave> LOL people, super bowl is NEXT sunday. NO snoozing today LOL
[01:15] <mikubuntu> the hard drive i think is fujitsu mhx2250bt -- anyone know what disk driver lubuntu would want for this?
[01:16] <ObrienDave> external drive?
[01:17] <mikubuntu> ObrienDave: if you mean me no -- the hdd for toshiba satellite
[01:18] <ObrienDave> if connected normally, a driver should not be required
[01:18] <mikubuntu> ObrienDave: a215 s4757
[01:18] <mikubuntu> ObrienDave: installer is hung up asking me to identify a driver from a list --- saying no disk driver detected
[01:18] <ObrienDave> the drive would be handled by BIOS
[01:19] <mikubuntu> ObrienDave: now, i did disable the hdd as boot option, could that be causing the problem it was the only way to get it to boot from cd
[01:20] <ObrienDave> is it properly configured/recognized by the BIOS/UEFI?
[01:20] <ObrienDave> seems likely
[01:21] <ObrienDave> i know on my ASUS i have to configure the DVD everytime
[01:21] <ObrienDave> at least select it at boot override
[01:24] <mikubuntu> squinty i downloaded the plop zip are you saying to burn the little 557kb image to a cd?
[01:24] <ObrienDave> is it an ISO?
[01:25] <mikubuntu> which
[01:25] <Naruni> when i have displays connected to both DP and HDMI of intel IGP, how can I force audio through the HDMI while using multi-gpu?
[01:25] <mikubuntu> ObrienDave: squinty was suggesting i use plop to try to boot from usb
[01:26] <squinty> mikubuntu, <squinty> mikubuntu, https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/download.html   download the zip and unzip it. burn plpbt.iso  to cd
[01:27] <ObrienDave> seems self explanatory
[01:28] <mikubuntu> squinty not sure how to get there from here. when i click on the plop zip in my file mgr it opens archive mgr, but there's no option to burn from there. must be a step i'm missing? do i have to extract the .iso first?
[01:28] <ObrienDave> ya think?
[01:28] <squinty> mikubuntu,  yep
[01:29] <mikubuntu> why din't you say so :P
[01:29] <ObrienDave> this ain't windows ;P
[01:35] <Belgijanac89> hallo
[01:35] <ObrienDave> Greetings & Welcome
[01:40] <Naruni> when i have displays connected to both DP and HDMI of intel IGP, how can I force audio through the HDMI while using multi-gpu?
[01:41] <ObrienDave> seems like support took Sunday off ;P
[01:45] <Jonii> Can someone give me default Nautilus .desktop file?
[01:50] <squinty> Jonii,  not really sure what you are asking but you might want to try running the following in a terminal to see if you already have what you are looking for on your system     locate .desktop | grep -i nautilus
[01:52] <Jonii> Did something like that, and managed to fix things it seems
[01:53] <Jonii> I had manually replaced Launcher icon for nautilus, so it lacked all those cool extra features
[01:58] <kasper> hey
[01:58] <kasper> hello
[01:58] <svetlana> hi
[01:58] <Sieeve> :D
[01:59] <kasper> all avid linux users?
[01:59] <svetlana> hi kasper and Sieeve, how can I help you?
[01:59] <kasper> Is this a support channel, not a social?'
[01:59] <ObrienDave> avid is NOT the right word. fanatics, comes to mind ;P
[02:00] <nedstark> this channel is operated by highly advanced artifical intelligence bots that have not yet received the 2.9 social interaction update
[02:00] <svetlana> kasper, yes, it is a support channel; for random chatter see '/msg alis help list' to search for channels on topics of interest, and #ubuntu-offtopic for a place where some ubuntu users like to meet
[02:00] <kasper> I am running backbox, getting into pen testing my home network, is that a decent choice?
[02:00] <Sieeve> tt sounds nice
[02:00] <kasper> Thank you svetlana
[02:01] <svetlana> kasper, I don't know anything about backbox, but from a quick look it probably is ok
[02:01] <k1l_> kasper: for technical help with backbox better ask the backbox guys in their channel (#backbox)
[02:01] <svetlana> kasper, unfortunately they don't have an official irc channel so if you'd like to talk about it over the chat then #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux might be your best bet
[02:01] <svetlana> oh, I see, k1l_
[02:02] <kasper> thanks mate!
[02:02] <svetlana> (no, I don't think #backbox exists though...)
[02:02] <svetlana> ah irc.autistici.org/6667, in channel #backbox
[02:02] <k1l_> ah yes
[02:02] <k1l_> different network, too.
[02:03] <svetlana> 1 human being in that one, odd :)
[02:06] <Ovation> I'm using NVIDIA-prime drivers on Ubuntu 15.10. Even though I'm set to performance (NVIDIA GTX  950M) my game in Steam (DOTA 2) seems really delayed when I play (laggy almost).  Any idea why?
[02:06] <Jonii> "delayed"?
[02:07] <ObrienDave> are you running a low-latency kernel?
[02:07] <tuxtimo> hi
[02:07] <Ovation> Jonii: It's hard to explain. The renders of the graphics seem fine. When I hold my space bar to follow my character, the screen panning isn't smooth like it was on Windows for the same game, it's very laggy
[02:08] <Ovation> ObrienDave: I'm not sure how to tell, I'm sorry I'm really new
[02:09] <ObrienDave> Ovation, ok, if you don;t know, then probably not :)
[02:10] <Ovation> ObrienDave, haha alright. Thanks though :) Any other ideas what may be causing it? I struggled to get my graphics card to be recogznied because of the whole hybrid setup. Finally switching to prime worked. It's just in games it's laggy
[02:11] <Ovation> I'm also using 358.16 for a NVIDIA GTX 950M on Ubuntu 15.10
[02:17] <Bashing-om> Ovation: A thoght: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/97645/en-us . Nvidia recommends the 352 version .
[02:19] <Guest84228> hi
[02:19] <Guest84228> does anyone have a pdf file with basic terminal commands?
[02:24] <ObrienDave> http://ss64.com/bash/
[02:28] <callaghan> on Ubuntu 14.04, gnome3; Anyone have any idea how to execute a BLOCKING bash script on gnome-shell logout? (I need to run a VBoxManage savestate operation /before/ XSession closes, and /before/ GDM PostSession)
[02:31] <gxwang> !push 20563
[02:33] <Guest84228> does any1 actually say something here?
[02:33] <k1l_> Guest84228: for chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic or ##chat
[02:34] <Guest84228> I actually had a question
[02:34] <Guest84228> does anyone have a pdf file with basic terminal commands?
[02:34] <ObrienDave> http://ss64.com/bash/
[02:34] <ObrienDave> and i replied ;P
[02:35] <Guest84228> sorry ObrienDave I didn't see it
[02:35] <Guest84228> Thanks ^^
[02:35] <mekhami> i just restarted my system and for some reason my xinitrc is not being loaded anymore
[02:35] <mekhami> what could have caused this
[02:36] <mekhami> wait i don't think it ever was executing
[02:36] <mekhami> i think i just shoved it all in my i3 config file
[02:53] <mjr4281> Hello, my name is Matt. I'm new to the channel.
[02:54] <nicomachus> mjr4281: welcome. this is ubuntu support. for any other topics, check out #ubuntu-offtopic. If you have questions about IRC in general, check out #freenode
[02:55] <mjr4281> Thank you nicomachus
[02:57] <mikubuntu> looks like squinty has left the building, and i so wanted to tell him that plop plop went fizzle fizzle. still no luck loading anything on this toshiba satellite laptop.
[03:13] <tjbiddle> Hi all. Trying to setup NAT. Every guide I come across seems like all directions are being run on the machine that's running NAT; but what do I configure on the client to make sure it points at that machine? Running through: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router currently.
[03:14] <Guest63090> anyone in here?  looking for some help
[03:15] <promet> Hi, after some "misadventures" with 15.x, I moved back to 14.04. There seem to be some, to me, familiar packages missing. Checked software sources and no longer see "universe", etc. as options. Has the naming changed?
[03:15] <cfhowlett> tjbiddle, perhaps a question best posed to #networking or #ubuntu-server ??
[03:15] <promet> or is that something that happens in LTS?
[03:15] <promet> (I am usually out in front of LTS), may have learned my lesson though
[03:15] <cfhowlett> promet, nope. let's see:  cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit
[03:16] <promet> Seems like a gang of stuff is "missing" though :(
[03:16] <Guest63090> i'm using ubuntu (live usb) for the first time and trying to install some software through the terminal
[03:16] <cfhowlett> Guest63090, you do realize that the software goes away as soon as you remove the USB?
[03:17] <Guest63090> that is fine, i am simply doing some file recover from a hard drive
[03:17] <cfhowlett> Guest63090, sudo apt install should work ...
[03:17] <promet> cfhowlett, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14847221/
[03:17] <promet> cfhowlett, thank you, btw
[03:18] <cfhowlett> promet: universe repo: lines 16 - 19
[03:18] <Guest63090> ok, so i did sudo apt-get install mdadm
[03:18] <cspack> tjbiddle: you would need to set the client's gateway to your server ip address in network settings, unless you have dhcp running on the same server.
[03:18] <promet> cfhowlett, Hmmmm... roger that, must be muh' 'magination...
[03:18] <cfhowlett> promet, appears to be a fairly generic ubuntu sources list
[03:19] <cfhowlett> but should you feel the need to test, create a new one and compare   https://www.google.co.jp/maps/dir/STARBUCKS+COFFEE,+Toshima,+Tokyo/TULLY'S+COFFEE,+Toshima,+Tokyo/@35.7294173,139.7119709,17z/am=t/data=!3m2!4b1!5s0x60188d6f00c2ad85:0x4c7e3af5bc8015ad!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x60188d5d10b41b7f:0x7c8bc6676f34efd3!2m2!1d139.7097461!2d35.7290351!1m5!1m1!1s0x60188d6e55500b6d:0xc1f989494e0b5bcb!2m2!1d139.7186828!2d35.7290943!3e2?hl=en
[03:19] <promet> cfhowlett, how so? That is, could you recommend a way to "broaden" it?
[03:19] <cfhowlett> doh! sorry
[03:19] <Guest63090> got a few errors and can't tell if it installed or not
[03:19] <Guest63090> how do i tell?
[03:19] <cfhowlett> https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php
[03:20] <cfhowlett> Guest63090, "few errors"?  bit vague, eh?  ain't none of us Ms. Cleo so give with the details.
[03:20] <Guest63090> error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'.
[03:22] <tjbiddle> cspack: Which is done how? Just adding  "gateway x.x.x.x" entry in /etc/network/interfaces where x.x.x.x is my server?
[03:22] <cfhowlett> Guest63090, that is related to the live USB session, but I've never encountered it while flying live.  possible fix: go into software sources settings and chooose a mirror, then sudo apt update
[03:23] <Guest63090> how do i get to software sources settings?
[03:23] <cfhowlett> system > software updater > settings
[03:23] <mikubuntu> whats the difference in write modes in xfburn theres options - auto, tao, and sao
[03:24] <cspack> tjbiddle: yes, if you're not using network-manager or other gui for network settings
[03:26] <Guest63090> under "Ubuntu Software" I selected a different server under "Download from" dropdown, now it is updating cache, that right?
[03:26] <svetlana> yes
[03:26] <mikubuntu> squinty -- you're baaaack -- plop plop went fizzle fizzle. were no instructions so i just put it in to boot and got nothing. then i tried putting plop in the cd, and usb in the usb port, and still no action. i'm just about to burn ubuntu (i wanted lubuntu), but i'm looking for an answer about what the difference in the write modes 'sao' and 'tao' are in xfburn would u happen to know?
[03:27] <cfhowlett> Guest63090, normal and correct
[03:27] <Guest63090> awesome, ok i have successfully installed the software
[03:28] <cfhowlett> Guest63090, and you have added +1 to your ubuntu karma.  soon you will achieve guru status.  pass it forward
[03:28] <kpwarr_> hello! I deleted ~/.config/monitors.xml, and now I cannot log in to Unity, but I can log in to Xmonad. How should I fix this?
[03:28] <Guest63090> when i created this live usb ubuntu disk i selected about 3GB of writable space to have available
[03:28] <Guest63090> do you know where that would be?
[03:29] <cfhowlett> Guest63090, /media/cdrom/   iirc
[03:35] <mikubuntu> whats the best burner to use for an .iso on lubuntu14.04?
[03:36] <mikubuntu> want to make the right choice as i've had so many problems today trying to get a distro to load on this toshiba laptop
[03:36] <kpwarr_> mikubuntu: theres a package which I think is called Disk Utility that ships with Ubuntu which has never failed me
[03:37] <dani_> if i do a "sudo apt-get update" what will that do.? will that upgrade my ubuntu version?
[03:37] <teward> dani_: no it will only refresh the information on what package versions are available based on the repositories you have enabled.
[03:37] <dani_> ah nice ..
[03:37] <dani_> cheers teward :)
[03:38] <cfhowlett> dani_, sudo apt full upgrade will update all available packages for your currently installed version.  current version is 14.04.3
[03:38] <dani_> teward, what about "sudo apt-get upgrade"?
[03:38] <mikubuntu> kpwarr_: don't see it on my menus i have xfburn, startup disk creator, brasero
[03:38] <teward> dani_: `apt-get upgrade` will upgrade the packages to the latest available versions
[03:38] <teward> dani_: same for `apt-get dist-upgrade` except it also installs new dependencies of packages which have new dependencies compared to the prior-installed version
[03:39] <teward> dani_: only `do-release-upgrade` will do a distribution upgrade.
[03:39] <dani_> i'm running Ultimate Edition 3.4 LTS will doing an sudo apt-get upgrade wreck it?
[03:41] <dani_> any help please?
[03:41] <cfhowlett> dani_, probably not but ... be aware that Ultimate is NOT ubuntu and is NOT supported here.  ask ultimate for assistance.
[03:41] <dani_> yes cfhowlett  but it is based off ubuntu
[03:42] <cfhowlett> !flavors | false.  these are the ONLY versions of ubuntu we support.
[03:42] <dani_> there is no ultimate channel
[03:42] <Guest63090> Mount /dev/sda8 in /dev/md0 #mdadm --assemble --run /dev/md0 /dev/sda8 If md0 is being used choose another one
[03:42] <mikubuntu> why would a brand new dvd-r display as having 2kb capacity, and 0 free space in 'startup disk creator'?
[03:42] <Guest63090> how do i know if "md0" is used or not?
[03:43] <cfhowlett> dani_, if you need support and no support is available, perhaps it's time to reconsider your choice of OS.  in any case, we cannot help you further.  see ultimate support for assistance.  Certainly there must be something, yes?
[03:43] <Vaishnavi> i just installed ubuntu 14.10 but the wifi isnt enabled
[03:44] <dani_> cfhowlett, i cant find an ultimate irc chan even on google
[03:44] <cfhowlett> Vaishnavi, 14.10 is dead and no longer supported.  14.04 or 15.10 are your choices.
[03:44] <dani_> but i understand
[03:44] <cfhowlett> dani_, look for the utlimate help menu
[03:44] <cfhowlett> !alis | dani_ also search with !alis
[03:45] <Guest63090> how do i tell if /dev/md0 is used or not?
[03:45] <Vaishnavi> which one should i go for ?? 14.04 or 15.10 ?
[03:45] <svetlana> use the LTS
[03:45] <svetlana> so 14.04
[03:46] <cfhowlett> Vaishnavi, 14.04.3 for LTS, 15.10 for the latest shiny bloody edge
[03:46] <Hexmind> Hi all
[03:46] <Vaishnavi> thanks
[03:46] <Hexmind> My laptop updated yesterday and since then it has no network.
[03:47] <Vaishnavi> but i know very less about the ubuntu version.  14.10 ? it worked fine earlier ?
[03:47] <Hexmind> Browsed the forums but none of the solutions fixed my problem.
[03:47] <cfhowlett> Hexmind, what does cat /etc/issue return?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> Vaishnavi, you have to start with a supported version to get assistance.  14.10 ain't.  (a great reason to use LTS only by the way)
[03:48] <Hexmind> cfhowlett, Ubuntu 13.04.3 LTS \n \l
[03:48] <Hexmind> cfhowlett, Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l
[03:49] <Vaishnavi> Cfhowlett , thank you for your assistance
[03:50] <Vaishnavi> the downgrade of ubuntu 14.10  to 14.04 possible ??
[03:50] <Hexmind> And when I go to "Settings > Network" I get "The system network services are not compatible with this version"
[03:51] <Guest63090> ok, having another issue here
[03:51] <Guest63090> sudo mdadm --assemble --run /dev/md0 /dev/sdd8
[03:51] <Guest63090> mdadm: /dev/sdd8 is busy - skipping
[03:52] <bmoore_> join #bash
[03:52] <Guest63090> why is it busy?
[04:01] <azizLIGHT> whats a quick way to capture a little video of my desktop, and make a gif and share it really quick to support team
[04:01] <azizLIGHT> not whole desktop, just partial section
[04:09] <mm_> Hey
[04:32] <mikubuntu> after all the trouble trying to get lubuntu on this machine today, i finally decided to put ubuntu 14.04 64bit on this laptop, and it's finally taking (hope i'm not speaking too soon). when trying to load lubuntu i couldn't make the machine recognise the hdd -- with ubuntu right off the installer said, this machine has windows vista installed what do you want to do. why erase it, what else. still loading hoping for an uneventful 
[04:34] <rypervenche> mikubuntu: Woot woot!
[04:36] <mikubuntu> i swear it was torture, i started at 1pm and its 11:35pm here now.
[04:37] <mikubuntu> doesn't help when you're old and stupid :P i'm sure it *could* have gone a lot faster with more grey cells.
[04:38] <svetlana> no idea what the other distro goofed up, but hopefully it's going to work now and you switch to lxde or whatever after the install
[04:38] <mikubuntu> svetlana: yes i should be able to then load the lxde desktop right? (i HATE unity.)
[04:39] <svetlana> yes you would be able to
[04:39] <ubuntu294> .
[04:39] <svetlana> hi ubuntu294
[04:40] <mikubuntu> unity schnunity. niet.
[04:46] <BlitzerHound> Hello everyone! I need help. I'm trying to create a bootable usb with the startup disk creator, and it isn't working.
[04:46] <minitrue> BlitzerHound: i like to use dd
[04:47] <BlitzerHound> Is that another program?
[04:47] <minitrue> but you have to be extra carefull, because you can end up copyng de live cd to your hd and ruining your system
[04:47] <BlitzerHound> That... sounds really bad. ._.
[04:48] <mikubuntu> oh crap. some problem, i took a pic and i'll put it on imagebin -- some kind of problem with PXE-Rom. keeps looping over and over saying it's exiting.
[04:48] <minitrue> BlitzerHound: yes but it works really smooth
[04:49] <BlitzerHound> Yeah... but I don't wanna risk messing up my system. That would kind of defeat the purpose of making the disk.
[04:49] <minitrue> is dd if=<input> of=<output> bs=1024
[04:50] <minitrue> in if you put the file iso for example
[04:50] <minitrue> if=/home/x/Desktop/ubuntu.iso
[04:50] <minitrue> in output you have to put your hd
[04:50] <minitrue> i mean your usb key
[04:50] <minitrue> of=/dev/sdx
[04:51] <minitrue> BlitzerHound: you can look for your key using lsblk
[04:51] <minitrue> or using dmesg
[04:51] <BlitzerHound> Is there not just a program that I can use that won't risk my system if I mess up? I'm not exactly confident with using the command prompt and stuff... It's the whole reason I'm trying to switch systems
[04:51] <mikubuntu> http://imagebin.ca/v/2VQi2Tbd371F
[04:52] <minitrue> BlitzerHound: whats the error that you get with the startupdisk creator?
[04:53] <BlitzerHound> Nothing. I have my usb in, and I push the 'other' button, and when I choose the ISO nothing happens.
[04:55] <minitrue> BlitzerHound: some laptops make it difficult to boot from a usb key
[04:55] <minitrue> BlitzerHound: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[04:55] <humanregret> mber27
[04:57] <minitrue> BlitzerHound: you should look on google if others with the same laptop have the same problem
[04:57] <BlitzerHound> Thanks, I'll read through this
[05:00] <singam> hi hor
[05:01] <mikubuntu> oh man this is going to eat me up until it drives you crazy :P any idea what's going on with this? first boot after install: http://imagebin.ca/v/2VQi2Tbd371F
[05:01] <singam> http://paste2.org/DAgwVLzh
[05:02] <mikubuntu> is it possible the etho cable is bad? or the etho port? can i somehow bypass this screen and configure wireless?
[05:20] <badkeypoints> Guys, can someone help me understand this command: manage.py ejabberd_auth $@
[05:20] <badkeypoints> What's the $@ mean?
[05:20] <mikubuntu> oh man this is going to eat me up until it drives you crazy :P any idea what's going on with this? first boot after install: http://imagebin.ca/v/2VQi2Tbd371F
[05:21] <badkeypoints> "$@" is an array-like construct of all positional parameters, {$1, $2, $3 ...}.
[05:29] <mikubuntu> so i did remember that i had disabled the hdd when i moved it down the boot sequence. i managed after many tries to get back into the bios, and indeed, i guess the installer had moved the hdd back into first order boot, but it was still marked as disabled. i enabled it, then saved and exit -- but still won't boot. http://imagebin.ca/v/2VQi2Tbd371F

[05:43] <castlelore> hi all, are there any options with ecryptfs to allow the system to boot unattended?
[05:45] <mikubuntu> this box is crazy, because the OS is definitely installed it went through the installation seemingly flawlessly, downloading, copying files, installing. so then why wouldn't it boot?
[06:24] <cspack> mikubuntu: you should disable network boot in your bios (PXE)
[06:24] <mwk_> /
[06:24] <mwk_> I'm trying to execute something in /usr/local/bin, but I'm getting "No such file or directory" even though it's definitely in that directory. Any ideas?
[06:25] <mwk_> I tried googling and I can't find anything useful.
[06:26] <mwk_> 'which' also returns the path to it..
[06:26] <cspack> mwk_: if you type "echo $PATH" do you see /usr/local/bin?
[06:26] <mwk_> Yes, "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[06:27] <bbyrhino> did u mispellnthe command
[06:27] <mwk_> Nope
[06:27] <mwk_> Also, "matt@galactica /usr/local/bin $ which multichain-util" returns "/usr/local/bin/multichain-util"
[06:27] <cspack> is it a script?
[06:27] <mwk_> No, binary file
[06:27] <mwk_> (it's http://www.multichain.com/download-install/)
[06:27] <bbyrhino> pastebin ur troubkeshooting steps and share
[06:27] <mwk_> kk, one sec
[06:28] <Loshki> mwk_: permissions on the binary, please
[06:28] <mwk_> -rwxr-xr-x  1 matt matt 2239800 2016-01-28 03:40 multichain-util
[06:28] <mikubuntu> cspack: i hadn't checked it but i guess i'll start it up and check it if i can get into bios
[06:30] <rypervenche> mwk_: Have you resourced your bashrc or logged out then back it of the terminal?
[06:31] <mikubuntu> cspack: does that have anything to do with 'quiet boot'? (showing enabled)
[06:31] <mwk_> rypervenche: just tried resourcing, no go-- I also logged in/out earlier and didn't work
[06:32] <wayne_> Hey guys I need some help
[06:32] <hateball> mwk_: is this a binary you put there manually
[06:32] <hateball> mwk_: is it the wrong arch perhaps?
[06:32]  * mwk_ here's the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/dvN9RXV2
[06:33] <mikubuntu> cspack: or is that LAN?
[06:33] <wayne_> Does Linux Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit need any hotfix patches for AMD's 8150 8Core Bulldozer?
[06:33] <mwk_> hateball: yeah I put it there manually
[06:33] <hateball> mwk_: also, use "sudo -i" instead of su
[06:33] <hateball> if you "need" a root shell
[06:33] <mwk_> ok-- should I re-run the steps with that instead?
[06:34] <bbyrhino> noneed mwk_
[06:34] <wayne_> Can you guys see my comments?
[06:34] <hateball> mwk_: what does "file /usr/local/bin/multichain-util" say?
[06:34] <hateball> !help | wayne_
[06:34] <mwk_> "/usr/local/bin/multichain-util: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped"
[06:34] <mikubuntu> cspack: under boot options only 4: hdd, cd/dvd, fdd, and lan
[06:35] <hateball> mwk_: and you are on a 64-bit system?
[06:35] <hateball> mwk_: Just to rule that out
[06:35] <cspack> mikubuntu: so lan is last in the list?
[06:35] <mikubuntu> yes
[06:35] <wayne_> All I wanted to know if I need to search for a hotfix patch
[06:35] <wayne_> geez
[06:35] <bbyrhino> mwk_: run `which multichain-util`
[06:35] <mikubuntu> cspack: yes
[06:36] <bbyrhino> mwk_: run the binary manually .. ie: cd /usr/local/bin/; ./multichain-util
[06:36] <cspack> mikubuntu: seems it's booting from lan because it can't find anything else to boot from
[06:37] <mwk_> It's been a while since I used this linode, but yeah it's 64: "Latest 64 bit (4.4.0-x86_64-linode63)"
[06:37] <solo> hi
[06:37] <mikubuntu> cspack: i'm wondering if its a failing hdd possibly? but would a failing hdd go through an entire install process as this one apparently did?
[06:38] <mwk_> "matt@galactica /usr/local/bin $ which multichain-util"  -> "/usr/local/bin/multichain-util"; "matt@galactica /usr/local/bin $ cd /usr/local/bin/; ./multichain-util" -> "-bash: ./multichain-util: No such file or directory"
[06:38] <Guest67377> q
[06:39] <mikubuntu> cspack: and, that said -- should i still disable the LAN?
[06:39] <mwk_> oops, forgot to @ -- @hateball, @bbyrhino
[06:39] <bbyrhino> mwk_: it has nothing to do with discovery
[06:39] <mwk_> yeah :\
[06:39] <mwk_> is the binary borked possibly?
[06:39] <bbyrhino> https://askubuntu.com/questions/133389/no-such-file-or-directory-but-the-file-exists
[06:40] <mwk_> will give that a look, thanks @bbyrhino
[06:40] <bbyrhino> idk, it looks like a binary file compatability issue
[06:41] <bbyrhino> grab the source and compile it against ur kernal
[06:41] <mwk_> Would Ubuntu version be an issue? I'm on 10.x
[06:41] <cspack> mikubuntu: the bios sees your drive? did you install grub to your hdd?
[06:41] <bbyrhino> live happily ever after
[06:41] <mikubuntu> cspack: i suppose the installer did right?
[06:42] <mikubuntu> cspack: i guess it sees it its on the list fujitsu mhx2250bt-(S1)
[06:44] <cspack> mikubuntu: it should have. does your bios have a boot menu option? you could see if it shows up there.
[06:44] <mikubuntu> cspack: you mean boot sequence? yes.
[06:46] <mikubuntu> cspack: under security, what is 'built-in hdd1 status'? to the right of it says 'clear'
[06:46] <cspack> mikubuntu: no I mean a boot menu. there should be a hotkey (F12, F8 etc. it varies by bios) . it will let you select a boot device at boot time.
[06:47] <dani_> im having an issue trying to install a tv tuner card driver.. this is the link i'm working off...  http://six3sevenlinux.blogspot.com.au/2011/04/avermedia-avertv-volar-hd-nano-a867r.html
[06:47] <dani_> im having difficulty with the cd /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.35 line that throws an error it says "cd: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.35: No such file or directory"
[06:48] <mikubuntu> cspack: well yes, as i said i have it set to boot hdd first, then cd/dvd, then fdd, then lan
[06:48] <dani_> what does this mean?
[06:48] <baizon> dani_: 2.6?
[06:48] <dani_> baizon, ?
[06:48] <cspack> mikubuntu: that is the boot priority, I was talking about something else
[06:49] <baizon> dani_: cd /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.35 <- you have to change it to your kernel version, which ubuntu version are you using?
[06:50] <dani_> baizon, im using 12.04 Precise Pangolin
[06:50] <mikubuntu> cspack: i thought they were one and the same. on startup you use f2 to get the complete bios setup, including boot sequencing, and f12 is *supposed* to go straight to boot sequencing (but it doesn't)
[06:51] <dani_> im using kernel 3.2
[06:51] <baizon> dani_: this should help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1576024&page=4&s=d992926721758fef5e7df41b20e005d3
[06:52] <cspack> mikubuntu: not quite the same, the bios setting is the default priority. the boot menu lets you select a different drive on the fly. I was just curious if your hdd would show up there.
[06:53] <dani_> baizon, im a complete nube
[06:53] <mikubuntu> cspack: haven't been able to get f12 to work all day
[06:53] <baizon> dani_: well this is a little bit complicated to be honest
[06:54] <cspack> mikubuntu: you tried hitting F12 instead of F2 when rebooting and nothing happens?
[06:55] <dani_> are these instructions good? http://six3sevenlinux.blogspot.com.au/2011/04/avermedia-avertv-volar-hd-nano-a867r.html
[06:55] <dani_> it seems pretty straight forward
[06:55] <Silenced> Installed steam right now . On running it i get a error message as " Couldn't set up Steam data - please contact technical support"
[06:55] <dani_> the tv card has a penguin on the box and says it supports linux
[06:55] <Silenced> What should i do ?
[06:56] <mikubuntu> cspack: right. and its very hard to get into the bios at all with any certainty. mostly, it likes to hang up with a 'please wait ... entering setup' but doesn't
[06:56] <baizon> dani_: no they are for ubuntu 10.04
[06:56] <dani_> baizon, ahh
[06:57] <baizon> dani_: thats the reason i posted you the other link, they got it working with ubuntu 12.04
[06:57] <RepThis1> anyone ever try deleting / before?
[06:57] <baizon> RepThis1: ?
[06:57] <dani_> ok i will review it baizon
[06:57] <Silenced> Installed steam right now . On running it i get a error message as " Couldn't set up Steam data - please contact technical support"
[06:57] <RepThis1> baizon: you know, like rm -rf /
[06:57] <germo> rc.all4y.net
[06:57] <mikubuntu> cspack: btw it's phoenix bios v 1.40
[06:58] <RepThis1> baizon: actually in this case u also have to use the --no-preserve-root
[06:58] <dani_> i dont suppose you'd have the time to walk me through it baizon ?
[06:59] <mikubuntu> cspack: well, i guess i have to call it a day unless you think we're gonna get to the bottom of it by some miracle :(
[06:59] <dani_> it's over my head baizon
[07:00] <mikubuntu> nite all, best of luck -- today wasn't my day
[07:00] <baizon> dani_: like i said, compiling drivers is complicated
[07:01] <mikubuntu> thx cspack and all who tried to help today
[07:01] <baizon> RepThis1: why would you remove root?
[07:01] <baizon> dani_: no, sorry
[07:01] <dani_> baizon, yeah.. i need someone to walk me through it i think
[07:01] <dani_> np baizon
[07:01] <RepThis1> baizon: because i planned to reformat anyways and wanted to c what the hype was all about.
[07:02] <cspack> mikubuntu: sorry miku
[07:02] <dani_> you dont know any good Samaritans that could walk me through it do you baizon ?

[07:17] <neeraj> hi
[07:21] <dani_> hi there neeraj
[07:22] <badkeypoints> .
[07:36] <Li> how to change vivid behavior to bring up to the desktop the window of any application I run or opened file instead of just on unity launcher
[07:39] <ppak> hey guys any one able to help me with a problem im having with software center
[07:39] <voz> ppak what is the problem?
[07:39] <Celphish> ppak: I think you have to ask the actual question before anyone can answer that
[07:41] <voz> sorry Li i would like to help but I dont use unity with my ubuntu
[07:43] <ppak> i try load software center but it doesnt open
[07:43] <ppak> i tryed the command software-center in terminal
[07:44] <ppak> ERROR:root:DebFileApplication import
[07:44] <ppak> Traceback (most recent call last):
[07:44] <ppak>   File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
[07:44] <ppak>     from debfile import DebFileApplication, DebFileOpenError
[07:44] <ppak>   File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/debfile.py", line 25, in <module>
[07:44] <ppak>     from softwarecenter.db.application import Application, AppDetails
[07:45] <voz> why are you trying to open the software center with the terminal? ppak
[07:45] <ppak> voz , because it wont open when i click on the icon
[07:46] <ppak> it happened after i install kali linux tools using a script called katoolin
[07:46] <ppak> and this is the error i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/14848286/
[07:48] <ioanm> i accidentally dput-ed my package to upload.ubuntu.com instead of my ppa
[07:48] <ioanm> what do i do?
[07:48] <ioanm> does it go into ubuntu?
[07:48] <voz> ppak run "killall software-center" without quotes in the terminal and try to open it again
[07:49] <ppak> software-center: no process found
[07:49] <ppak> iv tryed uninstall reinstall still no joy
[07:50] <voz> ioanm i think you can only upload to ubuntu if you are authorized but im not handy with ppa as uploading only with downloading
[07:50] <voz> ppak ok try this next one "killall -KILL software-center"
[07:51] <ppak> voz , swag@swag:~$ killall -KILL software-center
[07:51] <ppak> software-center: no process found
[07:52] <voz> ppak ok here are new commants to input first "cd ~/.config"
[07:53] <voz> ppak then "mv software-center software-center.old"
[07:53] <ppak> done
[07:53] <voz> after you run those run this next command "sudo apt-get update"
[07:54] <voz> ppak and now we are going to reinstall see if that helps you "sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install software-center"
[07:55] <ppak> still get the same error as i pasted earlyer
[07:55] <ppak> ImportError: No module named kali
[07:56] <voz> ppak are you using kali linux or ubuntu?
[07:56] <ppak> ubuntu
[07:56] <ppak> 15.04
[07:57] <voz> your goint to need to add some lines to your sources list
[07:58] <voz> ppak "nano /etc/apt/sources.list" first
[07:58] <ppak> thanks for your help btw
[07:58] <voz> ppak then add the following copy and paste
[07:58] <voz> deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
[07:59] <voz> then control + x and control + y and press enter
[08:00] <voz> after ppak type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[08:00] <ppak> running now
[08:00] <voz> last ppak would be "sudo apt-get install software-center"
[08:01] <voz> if it still fails let me know what the error is
[08:03] <ppak> still geting same error
[08:04] <voz> ppak last thing i can think of is a line change
[08:05] <ppak> how do i go about that ? and will dist upgrade to 15.10 fix my problem
[08:05] <voz> type "gedit /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py" and go down to line 159 or so
[08:05] <voz> ppak
[08:06] <voz> ppak what does it say under distro id?
[08:07] <dani_> Hi everyone.. Look, I'm having a hard time trying to get my new Tv Capture Card to work on Ubuntu.

[08:07] <ppak> i pmed it to u coz i got a drone warning before
[08:28] <sara> hey
[08:28] <sara> i need to backup via consol
[08:28] <shomon> hi, I am sure I'm serving port 900 from this debian box.. but I can't pick it up from my lan.. How could I debug this.. is it good to just copy the hosts file?
[08:28] <hateball> !backup | sara
[08:30] <cfhowlett> !debian | shomon,
[08:30] <cfhowlett> shomon, debian is not supported here but has their own support channels.
[08:30] <shomon> oh sorry, wrong channel!
[08:31] <jotauve> hi!!
[08:32] <voz> jotauve yes?
[08:32] <voz> need help?
[08:32] <jotauve> oh yes!!
[08:32] <jotauve> :)
[08:33] <jotauve> I've an nvidia g210 and with glxgears I only obtain 60fps max, its's normal?
[08:34] <voz> my nvidia runs at 40-50 fps depending on what im doing, i use ubuntu lts
[08:35] <jotauve> ops! so, I supose its normal
[08:36] <voz> jotauve what ubuntu version are you using
[08:36] <jotauve> I m worried that sometimes when I open a web that has a lot of javascripts animations or gif or similar I feel lag , in windows I don't feel too many
[08:36] <jotauve> the last, 15.10
[08:38] <voz> jotauve it depends on the vsync, if there is no need to run higher it wont. It tends to ajust itself to what you need it for
[08:40] <jotauve> and it's not posible to regulate this? I m frontoffice developer and sometimes if I've to do a presentation to a customer I prefer use a windows pc because the user experience is better without lags :/
[08:40] <voz> jotauve If you use an OpenGL framework like GLUT or GLFW, that probably also has an option to explicitly request vsync, or to turn it off. Not all drivers/settings will honor this, though.
[08:42] <jotauve> how I know if I use glut or glfw ?
[08:42] <voz> jotauve check the video settings see if you can force it higher. not sure where that could be exactly on ubuntu
[08:43] <jotauve> mmm I've installed the so and activated the additional drivers
[08:43] <jotauve> I can execute nvidia-settings too
[08:45] <voz> im not to keen with customizing the video driver like that, i dont mess with mine all that often jotauve.
[08:45] <jotauve> well don't worry! thanks! :P
[08:45] <voz> jotauve cheers
[08:54] <zzarr> hello!
[08:54] <zzarr> How do I create the default user of an Ubuntu system?
[08:54] <zzarr> (from command line)
[08:55] <cfhowlett> zzarr, you already have a default user ...
[08:55] <geirha> sudo adduser "username"
[08:55] <zzarr> I have a system where there are no users except root
[08:55] <zzarr> thanks geirha
[08:55] <geirha> what? who removed all the users?
[08:55] <zzarr> cfhowlett, I debootstraped a chroot
[08:56] <zzarr> geirha, no, it's a debootstraped installation
[08:56] <cfhowlett> zzarr, impressive
[08:57] <zzarr> cfhowlett, thanks, it's on my ARM based Chromebook (ASUS Chromebook Flip)
[09:04] <sturmflut> Does anybody know how you would make a self-hosted derivative distribution based on Snappy Ubuntu Core?
[09:06] <Twinkletoes> Due to my ISPs networking arrangements, I'm using ubuntu/ufw just to blindly forward traffic to an internal firewall (and of course, apply nat on the way out too). However, I would like to be able to ssh to this box from outside, and can't put the right rule int the right place.  Can anyone help?
[09:08] <Twinkletoes> The 2 rules I have in the nat table, provide the forwarding and this works ok.  They are: -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -j DNAT --to-destination <internal_firewall_ip>  and  -A POSTROUTING -s <internal_network> -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE.  What and where do I stick in an accept for 22/tcp?
[09:11] <Twinkletoes> ufw allow 22/tcp   doesn't work, probably because of what's going on in the nat table
[09:13] <reactormonk> I've got the following entry in my netstat: tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8020          0.0.0.0:* - I can connect just fine with telnet localhost 8020, but when I use telnet ip-10-144-2-185 8020 (hostname), it fails. I disabled any iptables entries, and the hostname resolves. I get a connection refused. Why can't I connect?
[09:13] <Twinkletoes> reactormonk: You're only listening on localhost
[09:13] <Twinkletoes> reactormonk: (127.0.0.1)
[09:13] <reactormonk> Twinkletoes, ah, darn.
[09:14] <Twinkletoes> reactormonk: You need to listen on 0.0.0.0 or the actual ip
[09:14] <reactormonk> Twinkletoes, that's hadoop, so I'll have to figure out what went wrong.

[09:39] <jost> Hi! I've got XUbuntu 14.04.3 running here (Desktop), and want to upgrade to 15.10. However,  get "Error authenticating some packages" when running "sudo do-release-upgrade". I've tried to switch to the main server (not the one for germany), but no change?
[09:39] <jost> ? = .
[09:40] <cfhowlett> jost, you have to install 14.04 > 15.04 > 15.10 via EOLupgrade method or (and saner) torrent 15.10 and clean install.  OR wait until April and go 14.04 > 16.04
[09:50] <cato> Hello, I am running 14.04 and want to add a name for my local vm. in the good old days I did just an entry in /etc/hosts. seems as I need to do this somehow via network-manager. how?

[09:55] <Sohail-Ahmed> once .bashrc is edited, is there something one needs to do so that changes can take effect???
[09:56] <Twinkletoes> Sohail-Ahmed: it's read when bash starts up, not whilst it's running
[09:57] <Twinkletoes> Sohail-Ahmed: you cloud logoff/login again? or jsut start a new bash process?
[09:57] <jkale> Sohail-Ahmed: changes take effect in any new shell you open. using source ~/.bashrc may help in shells that are already open.
[09:57] <Twinkletoes> What he says ^^^^
[09:57] <Sohail-Ahmed> Twinkletoes, jkale: thanks !!!
[09:58] <Twinkletoes> jkale: You mean the index file for the default site after apache is first installed?
[09:58] <jkale> Twinkletoes: yes
[09:59] <Twinkletoes> jkale: Specifically the ubuntu one, or will a debian one do?
[09:59] <jkale> Twinkletoes: any would do

[10:14] <PirateLOL> Hey guys hoping someone can help me
[10:15] <Herwin> hello
[10:15] <PirateLOL> Ubuntu keeps freezing at random points and am unable to move anything including my mouse. The commands on Google to access terminal (the resuib option and others) don't work either
[10:16] <Herwin> is there still the Bug CVE-2016-0728 in linux?
[10:16] <Twinkletoes> PirateLOL: Is your HDD LED on solid when it freezes?
[10:16] <PirateLOL> I don't know where my HDD LED is.
[10:17] <PirateLOL> Never really paid attention to that before.
[10:17] <Herwin> that hacker gain control over my linux computer?
[10:17] <PirateLOL> And another problem is
[10:17] <PirateLOL> When i try shut it down, it hangs...it's hung for up to two hours before
[10:17] <Herwin> is there still the Bug CVE-2016-0728 in linux?
[10:17] <Herwin> is there still the Bug CVE-2016-0728 in linux?
[10:18] <Herwin> that hacker gain control over my linux computer?
[10:18] <PirateLOL> I also do the sudo shutdown commands but they make it hang too
[10:18] <PirateLOL> Ubuntu seems to be a real mess. Other users have reported it on different Ubuntu forums too.
[10:19] <Herwin> reference leak in the keyring, is thit solved?
[10:19] <cfhowlett> Herwin, as per the link "** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem. When the candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be provided. "
[10:19] <CinnamonRickRoll> pirate, maybe you're doing something too intensive for your gpu/driver?
[10:20] <PirateLOL> Coin
[10:20] <PirateLOL> Damn keyboard
[10:20] <PirateLOL> No my drivers and cpu are fine.
[10:20] <CinnamonRickRoll> ubuntu froze up heaps for me on nouveau (free nvidia driver), but haven't had an issue since i switched to the propreitary one
[10:20] <PirateLOL> Never encountered the issue before. It just started all of a sudden.
[10:21] <CinnamonRickRoll> ah, well I can't be any more help than that I'm afraid, hope you get it sorted out
[10:21] <Herwin> Can i use my computer of is it not save
[10:21] <PirateLOL> But changing drivers could be an option I guess. How do you do it?
[10:22] <NGC_6205> is there a way to refresh the top menu bar without restarting everything? It is currently stuck saying "Steam" and won't display the current program's menu
[10:22] <PirateLOL> No, it's totally stuck. Nothing responsive at all when it freezes
[10:23] <PirateLOL> RESUIB and other options don't work either (as suggested on different forums)
[10:23] <Herwin> Can i use my computer of is it not save?
[10:23] <PirateLOL> Really irritating because I like Ubuntu but numerous users on different forums have encountered this issue too. Making me want to just switch to another OS.
[10:24] <CinnamonRickRoll> Oh sorry to bail got caught up in other things
[10:24] <CinnamonRickRoll> to change drivers
[10:24] <CinnamonRickRoll> gimme a sec to think, i'm not on ubuntu rn
[10:24] <Twinkletoes> PirateLOL: Have you tried a different flavour of linux yet?  Does it do it on that aswell?
[10:24] <hateball> PirateLOL: What version of Ubuntu are you using? And what nvidia driver?
[10:25] <hateball> PirateLOL: You can use https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa to change to a different driver
[10:25] <CinnamonRickRoll> PirateLOL: to change driver: open software and updates, you can either find it thru unity or opening settings, and from there i think theres a drivers tab, i'm doing this from memory so might be a bit off
[10:25] <PirateLOL> I'm using UBunfu
[10:25] <PirateLOL> P
[10:25] <PirateLOL> 15.10
[10:25] <cfhowlett> typo?
[10:25] <PirateLOL> Sorry damn keyboard lol
[10:26] <PirateLOL> And have tried other flavours yes
[10:26] <CinnamonRickRoll> well, isn't 15.10 the newest one? still in dev? I haven't checked for a while but I'm fairly new and 14.04 was the recommened one wasn't it
[10:26] <PirateLOL> Seems to do the same thing. As I said a sec ago, it just started suddenly. Never happened before.
[10:27] <hateball> CinnamonRickRoll: 14.04 is LTS, 15.10 is not "in dev", it's just a non-LTS release
[10:27] <Twinkletoes> PirateLOL: *something* must have changed, whether it was an OS or software update etc.
[10:27] <CinnamonRickRoll> oh ok, my bad, whats LTS tho?
[10:27] <Twinkletoes> PirateLOL: or your hardware is failing.  The point is, *something* is different from when it worked
[10:27] <hateball> !lts | CinnamonRickRoll
[10:27] <CinnamonRickRoll> thanks
[10:27] <hateball> CinnamonRickRoll: Whereas non-lts are supported for 9 months
[10:28] <PirateLOL> Don't really know what drivers I'm using to be honest, but whatever they are they haven't done this before.
[10:28] <PirateLOL> And dam. Hope it isn't failing
[10:28] <PirateLOL> Anyway to check the general health of my hardware?
[10:28] <hateball> PirateLOL: Open the additional drivers gui, it will say which driver version is in use
[10:29] <hateball> PirateLOL: Or launch nvidia-settings, it will also display the version
[10:29] <PirateLOL> I'm on my tablet at the moment but will do that later. Thank you :)
[10:30] <PirateLOL> So is there anyway to also check the general state of health of my hardware? I guess it could be failing, was also wondering if there was a way to check that or not
[10:32] <PirateLOL> Already done a memtsst
[10:32] <PirateLOL> *memtest
[10:33] <PirateLOL> Nothing bad detected. Hard drive shows no errors.
[10:33] <PirateLOL> Gotta be positive
[10:33] <hateball> PirateLOL: You can have a look at your ~/.xsession-errors file and see if it's being filled with anything of interest
[10:33] <cfhowlett> PirateLOL, well, clearly the keyboard is failing so ... color me suspicious ...
[10:34] <PirateLOL> I'm on my tablet.
[10:34] <PirateLOL> Apologies for the spelling and stuff.
[10:34] <PirateLOL> And thank you hate all
[10:34] <PirateLOL> *hateball
[10:34] <PirateLOL> Damn autocorrect
[10:36] <JyZyXEL> is it possible to have CIFS mounts automatically unmount after a period of inactivity?
[10:37] <hateball> JyZyXEL: You can use autofs and set idle timeout
[10:38] <Nish> Anybody got experience with Samba 4 as a domain member? I can't get winbind to work properly, getent passwd / group not returning the domain accounts.
[10:38] <JyZyXEL> hateball: will it work in combination with fstab?
[10:38] <PirateLOL> Also searched deeper on
[10:38] <PirateLOL> Google for solutions
[10:39] <PirateLOL> Will try them. Thanks guys.
[10:40] <hateball> JyZyXEL: yeah, just dont put mounts in both places
[10:41] <JyZyXEL> hateball: ah, so i can choose to have autofs only do the unmounting and not interfere with mounting that is done by systemd and fstab
[10:42] <hateball> JyZyXEL: well no, the mountpoint you want to manage should be done by autofs only or you might get issues
[10:42] <JyZyXEL> :E
[10:42] <JyZyXEL> sounds pretty invasive
[10:42] <hateball> JyZyXEL: How so? autofs is great imo
[10:43] <JyZyXEL> but it probably is not as reliable as systemd and fstab
[10:43] <JyZyXEL> also dolphin uses fstab
[10:43] <hateball> Uh...
[10:43] <JyZyXEL> sounds really bad practice to not use fstab
[10:44] <JediMaster> hi guys, I've been running Linux/Debian/Ubuntu as a server for many many years but for work I've had to use Windows mainly for desktop, even though all my work is done on Ubuntu servers. I'm trying to switch permanently over to Ubuntu for my work desktop and there's one major problem, Skype.
[10:44] <JediMaster> I've got skype installed and "working", but it's version 4.3, it's many years out of date, and Microsoft just won't bring out a newer version
[10:46] <cfhowlett> use an alternative ... not an ubuntu issue.
[10:46] <JediMaster> the interface is a nightmare to navigate when I often have 10-20 conversations a day open with clients and colleagues, you just can't see message notifications, you loose conversations all the time. Web version of Skype is more usable than the native Linux version, but you then can't install the plugins for calls
[10:46] <cfhowlett> JediMaster,  how is this an ubuntu problem?
[10:46] <JediMaster> cfhowlett, because what alternative connects to the skype network?
[10:47] <CinnamonRickRoll> maybe its just me but like, you could always use not linux or maybe a phone or smth
[10:47] <CinnamonRickRoll> but ya know maybe thats just me
[10:47] <JediMaster> cfhowlett, businesses can't expect to get all their clients to install an alternative
[10:47] <cfhowlett> JediMaster, by design ... none.  so don't skype.  google voice/hangout is an option.  at any rate, NOT an ubuntu issue.
[10:48] <JediMaster> CinnamonRickRoll, I need skype calls and screen sharing and half our clients wouldn't know how to even install a piece of software
[10:48] <cfhowlett> JediMaster, although I suppose one could try installing virtualbox + ubuntu + skype.  haven't tested it, but sounds possible
[10:48] <JediMaster> cfhowlett, I'm not saying it's Ubuntu's fault, but it's certainly an issue for Ubuntu takeup
[10:49] <cfhowlett> not so much ...
[10:49] <JediMaster> cfhowlett, I'm talking from a business perspective where EVERYONE uses skype only =/
[10:50] <JediMaster> I'm almost considering running a windows VM within Ubuntu just for skype
[10:50] <cfhowlett> and yet microsoft (you know .. the OWNERS of that proprietary software) don't see fit to support it.  so - not ubuntu's fault or fixable by ubuntu.
[10:50] <JediMaster> cfhowlett, skype is unfortunately critical to doing business nowdays
[10:51] <cfhowlett> facts: MICROSOFT's product.  complain to them.
[10:51] <JediMaster> cfhowlett, yes, I am completely aware of this, and I'm not asking Ubuntu to fix it, what I'm asking is if anyone has a way of getting Skype working, e.g. WINE in Ubuntu?
[10:52] <CinnamonRickRoll> ok sorry to interject again, but i think the issue here mighta been the way the issue was approached
[10:52] <CinnamonRickRoll> bc to me it seemed as tho u were just complaining, rather than seeking a solution
[10:52] <CinnamonRickRoll> *shrugs*
[10:52] <JediMaster> no, I got cfhowlett butting in before I had finished what I was trying to ask
[10:53] <CinnamonRickRoll> Hmm, well to me thats not how it seemed tbh, but maybe a better way to approach things in future might be to ask the question first and then add details later
[10:53] <CinnamonRickRoll> thats what i do
[10:53] <CinnamonRickRoll> tends to save a fair bit of confusion
[10:53] <CinnamonRickRoll> *shrugs*
[10:53] <JediMaster> I'll try again, does anyone have any solution to MICROSHAFT's Skype's complete lack of support to get it working in a useable way on Linux? However that may be, e.g. WINE or some IM plugin that gives a better interface etc.
[10:54] <CinnamonRickRoll> Nice work :)

[11:00] <calimero_82> hi
[11:02] <hrob> hi!
[11:02] <hrob> anyone tried skype on ubuntu lately?
[11:02] <hrob> https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/844987-making-the-most-of-skype-on-linux
[11:02] <calimero_82> Good morning, having removed the package manager: ubuntu-desktop completely, I still think the desktop environment xfce, as you delete? my os is ubuntu 4.14 thanks
[11:02] <hrob> is it safe to add a 5 year old repository to 14.04?
[11:02] <cfhowlett> hrob, no!  why would you
[11:03] <calimero_82> xubuntu desktop
[11:04] <hrob> cfhowlett:  I'm a little out of date with skype... but when i started applying for jobs agin, it turns out people are actually still using it!
[11:04] <hrob> cfhowlett:  like all HR people on the planet ??!
[11:04] <JediMaster> hrob, I've been asking the same, skype 4.3 on Ubuntu sucks
[11:04] <cfhowlett> hrob, skype is in the partner repo. enable and install from there.
[11:05] <sruli> i need some help with yad/zenity on gnome 15.10 yad/zenity work fine when called from user script but if the script is called by root it does not work, the error "Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged" in lubuntu 15.10 and ubuntu 14.04 there are similar errors but the dialog is displayed why in gnome is it not?
[11:05] <hrob> JediMaster: chachasmooth :   I just noticed actually there is a skype plugin for pidgin and other FOSS messangers... it that any good?
[11:05] <JediMaster> hrob, I'm actually just downloading an official Microsoft virtualbox image of windows 10 so I can install Skype on it, it has a 90 day expiry, so just reinstall or roll-back
[11:06] <JediMaster> hrob, problem I have with the linux client is the interface sucks, you can't see your conversations, screen share and video all comes in at 320x240 (a bug that has been around for years), and it crashes quite a lot
[11:06] <hrob> chachasmooth:  thanks,  was not aware ---
[11:06] <JediMaster> hrob, I've tried the pidgin client years ago but had problems with it
[11:07] <hrob> JediMaster:  ok... sounds like I'm going to have to dual boot to my wonderdose v.8 again...
[11:07] <JediMaster> hrob, hence why I'm trying the virtualbox route
[11:07] <hrob> JediMaster: well only twice in the last year
[11:08] <JediMaster> hrob, I've got virtualbox (and vagrant but you don't need that) and I'm trying the official image from: https://dev.windows.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/linux/
[11:08] <hrob> it's all HR people and all those other grandmas' fault though... I don't blame linux off course
[11:09] <hrob> JediMaster:  oh ok... could just run the image --- you have to go through like 20 microsoft personal questions right?
[11:09] <JediMaster> hrob, indeed, I'd much rather use an alternative, but can't ask the rest of the world to use it =/
[11:10] <JediMaster> hrob, I've not used these images before, so not sure, I'm still downloading it now
[11:10] <JediMaster> hrob, there weren't any questions to just download it
[11:11] <JediMaster> hrob, I think the only limitation is that they expire after 90 days so you have to take a snapshot and revert every 90 days
[11:12] <calimero_82> sorry, how can i delete completely xfce from ubuntu 14.04? thanks
[11:12] <hrob> JediMaster:  thanks, its worth a try!
[11:14] <cfhowlett> calimero_82, logout, choose unity, login, sudo apt-get purge xfce
[11:14] <k1l_> calimero_82: remove the xubuntu-desktop package
[11:17] <calimero_82> Kil_ i've already removed xbuntu deskt, but remains xfce
[11:18] <hrob> thanks all for the microsoft support, I'll be back.
[11:19] <calimero_82> cfhowlett, there's not any xfce package, i've installed only xubuntu-desktop, i've removed it completely but remains xfce
[11:20] <cfhowlett> calimero_82, logout, choose an alternate desktop, login
[11:20] <milad99341> where is ubuntu support team? why don't anyone help me?
[11:21] <calimero_82> i'm in unity already cfhowlett
[11:21] <cfhowlett> calimero_82, dpkg -l xfce* should return nothing
[11:21] <pie> hi
[11:22] <cfhowlett> !patience | milad99341,
[11:22] <calimero_82> yes cfhowlett
[11:22] <calimero_82> nothing
[11:23] <cfhowlett> calimero_82, that means no xfce is available.  why do you claim otherwise?
[11:24] <calimero_82> i wanted only to test xfce in ubuntu
[11:24] <calimero_82> but in the wiki u must install xbuntu-desktop to try it
[11:24] <cfhowlett> calimero_82, you did, you removed it, it's goine
[11:25] <calimero_82> when i do logout there's also try xfce
[11:25] <cfhowlett> calimero_82, false.  sudo apt intall xfce4        will get you the xfce desktop environment
[11:25] <cfhowlett> calimero_82, reboot
[11:25] <calimero_82> in italian wiky there's only xubuntu-desktop
[11:25] <k1l_> calimero_82: xubuntu uses xfce, you know?
[11:25] <calimero_82> it's true
[11:26] <calimero_82> yes kyl_
[11:26] <k1l_> calimero_82: but you can install xfce without the whole xubuntu desktop. the desktop ships some other standard programs. xfce is the pure desktop
[11:26] <calimero_82> but it was only a test to try it, i'm fine with ubuntu canonical
[11:26] <k1l_> calimero_82: but what is the issue now? you removed those packages.
[11:26] <krabador> k1l_, calimero_82 knows about derivatives very well , it's a kind of "alchimist" user
[11:27] <calimero_82> now i try logout to see if xfce option is deleted
[11:28] <calimero_82> thanks for all
[11:34] <sruli> i need some help with yad/zenity on gnome 15.10 yad/zenity work fine when called from user script but if the script is called by root it does not work, the error "Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged" however in lubuntu 15.10 and ubuntu 14.04 there are similar errors but the dialog is displayed why in gnome is it not?
[11:34] <sruli> how can i display a dialog with info from a root script in gnome 15.10?
[11:35] <ni638629> I am planning to buy a Wifi dongle with the chipset MT7612U. Is that a good idea?
[11:36] <calimero_82> it works guys, i had to remove any libs or xfce-packs from synaptic
[11:37] <ni638629> And does that work with all 802.11? a/b/g/n/ac?
[11:38] <mabraham1982> Hello folks ,i made some changes to my laptop like installing some programs from ubuntu software center im using 14.04 lts ,but after restart i lost my wifi driver ,is there is any way to restore my previous settings?
[11:39] <cfhowlett> !hardware | ni638629
[11:44] <mabraham1982> Is there is any way to restore my previous settings back in Ubuntu 14.04 ?
[11:45] <cfhowlett> mabraham1982, you mean rollback?  no.  restore previous settings? yes. but ...
[11:45] <bazhang> reinstall from backups mabraham1982
[11:45] <cfhowlett> this ^^^
[11:45] <mabraham1982> I don't have a backup
[11:46] <mabraham1982> And yes i mean rollback
[11:46]  * cfhowlett shakes his head sorrowfully ...
[11:46] <bazhang> thats not going to be easy then it it
[11:46] <mabraham1982> Ok ,how ?
[11:47] <k1l_> mabraham1982: which settings do you mean? and no, its not that easy. you can rename the ".config" folder in your users home to ".config_old" and relogin to clear some user settings
[11:47] <bazhang> without any backups of any sort?
[11:48] <cfhowlett> mabraham1982, are you ONLY trying to get your network back?  different situation than restoring data ...
[11:49] <mabraham1982> The problem is I lost my wifi driver, and i can't connect to the network any more ,but my Bluetooth is still working.
[11:49] <cfhowlett> so your end goal is ???
[11:50] <mabraham1982> Yes im trying to get my wifi back
[11:50] <cfhowlett> !wifi | start here
[11:50] <k1l_> mabraham1982: ok, so i would look at that issue specificly. what happend before it didnt work anymore?
[11:51] <mabraham1982> I did some software installation
[11:51] <k1l_> mabraham1982: details matter a lot
[11:52] <mabraham1982> I installed edubuntu package
[11:53] <mabraham1982> The last thing i can remember i had installed zenmab
[11:53] <bazhang> mabraham1982, what edubuntu packages did you want to remove then
[11:54] <mabraham1982> And i gives it a try before restart
[11:54] <mabraham1982> I did it already.
[11:55] <mabraham1982> But nothing happened
[11:57] <k1l_> mabraham1982: what line in "lspci" or "lsusb" lists your wifi card?
[11:57] <sruli> "ls /tmp/X11-unix/" shows me X0 & X1 i am on a single screen VM gnome why do i have 2 displays?
[11:57] <mabraham1982> What is this mean ?
[11:59] <mabraham1982> My laptop is dell studio 1558
[11:59] <mabraham1982> Is it helps ?
[11:59] <k1l_> mabraham1982: please show the terminal output of "lspci" and "lsusb" on paste.ubuntu.com and show the url here
[12:00] <cfhowlett> mabraham1982, yes. almost certainly you have a broadcom wifi chipset
[12:00] <mabraham1982> Ok
[12:00] <mabraham1982> Yeah its Broadcom
[12:01] <cfhowlett> mabraham1982, let's get details: lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network | pastebinit
[12:02] <mabraham1982> Do you want me to do this in terminal
[12:03] <cfhowlett> yes.  copy and pastet the url it will return
[12:03] <k1l_> mabraham1982: yes. we need facts to help you. just talking doesnt solve your issue
[12:03] <mabraham1982> Ok
[12:03] <mabraham1982> I'll
[12:09] <mabraham1982> That's what I got lspci: no such pci access nethod: 9
[12:10] <cfhowlett> mabraham1982, lspci -l | grep broadcom
[12:11] <cfhowlett> mabraham1982, sorry, wrong. wait 1
[12:12] <mabraham1982> What  ?
[12:13] <cfhowlett> mabraham1982, lshw | pastebinit
[12:16] <isp_> Hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu on my intel NUC with UEFI enabled and Windows10 already installed, but when i use "install alongside Windows" there ether don't seem to be a record in efibootmgr(16.04) or the contents are not recognised by the UEFI after rebooting (15.10)
[12:16] <isp_> where could i get additional help with that ? thx
[12:19] <vilitaltti> isp_: I'm not speacialist on this matter, but have created enough space to your hard drive?
[12:19] <harry96> hey
[12:20] <isp_> there're the 3 microsoft partitions and then a 90gbext4 for ubuntu and a 17gb swap
[12:21] <yellabs-r2> sometimes its confusing, so i ask, when developing for the ubuntu desktop , is it Qt i am looking at or Gtk?
[12:39] <Phazorx> is there a "mote dedicated" channel for hardware specific issue or am i good to ask here?
[12:40] <cfhowlett> !hardware | Phazorx
[12:42] <Phazorx> cfhowlett: well the hardware is supported but i'm dealing with sometihng that appears as a hardware isue but could be system/configuiration
[12:43] <kettlecooked> Our office server (Ubuntu Server 14.04) with software RAID (2 mirrored disks) will not boot anymore, safe mode says the raid array is degraded. Where do I start to fix this problem? I want to un-degrade it :)
[12:44] <cfhowlett> kettlecooked, best ask experts: #ubuntu-server
[12:44] <kettlecooked> ah thank you
[12:45] <programo> Hi to find the IPC specific to my processor
[12:54] <abolfazl123> :-X
[13:08] <hrob> hi again
[13:09] <sruli> "ls /tmp/X11-unix/" shows me X0 & X1 how do i know which is in use?
[13:10] <maintenance> hi everybody, i va a little problem with update, what can i do -if you want more info, ask me) thanks
[13:10] <k1l_> maintenance: what is the issue?
[13:10] <cfhowlett> maintenance assume we don't actually know the details ... since you haven't shared any?
[13:11] <ioria> sruli, maybe this helps http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/196677/what-is-tmp-x11-unix
[13:11] <maintenance> cfhowlett, http://pastebin.com/fwDD9WL9
[13:11] <hrob> maintenance:  that was funny!
[13:11] <maintenance> sorry for my bad english, i m french user
[13:11] <cfhowlett> !fr | maintenance,
[13:12] <maintenance> ok, but onebody on french irc ubuntu, can you help me
[13:12] <ioria> i think "conservés :" is kept back
[13:12] <k1l_> maintenance: use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[13:12] <cfhowlett> you'll have to translate mon ami ...
[13:12] <sruli> ioria: thanks, i know what it is now, why do i have X0 & X1 and how do i know which is in use?
[13:13] <maintenance> ok for best effort... i -ll try your issue, i come back ...thanks
[13:13] <ioria> sruli,  try ps aux
[13:15] <hateball> cfhowlett, maintenance: You can put "LC_ALL=C" before commands in bash and it should default to english. so "LC_ALL=C sudo apt-get update" or whatever it was
[13:15] <hateball> For pasting reasons and so on
[13:16] <sruli> ioria: ps aux | grep Xorg gives me 1 line there are no '1' so i gues its saying that its using X0, however when i try to run someing from script which requires X it gives an error about X0 and i have to export X1, whats wrong here?
[13:16] <cfhowlett> hateball, wait what?
[13:16] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:16] <ioria> sruli,  are you playing with local sockets ?
[13:16] <cfhowlett> maintenance, still with us?
[13:16] <hateball> cfhowlett: I read the backlog, seemed like the issue was a pastebin in french
[13:17] <sruli> ioria: no just trying to get a simple yad/zenity dialog with info when internet disconnects, so i put the script in up/down only works with export display1
[13:17] <cfhowlett> hateball, true.  but this wasn't on MY box ... so the user would trigger the LC ... to translate to English?
[13:17] <hateball> cfhowlett: Yes
[13:17] <Phazorx> after about 7 month of usage, most of time when waking up i see something like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3x9454y8zstutq6/IMG_1260.JPG any clues?
[13:17] <cfhowlett> !cookie | hateball I'd send you a beer but only have cookies
[13:18] <ioria> sruli,  ok.... i should work also without export
[13:18] <hateball> cfhowlett: I run Swedish locale, so I have to do it in order to help people in english at times :)
[13:18] <k1l_> cfhowlett: yes. if you preface the command with LC_ALL=C then all the output is in english.
[13:18] <ioria> *it
[13:19] <cfhowlett> that is so smooth!  "I learned something today!"
[13:20] <hateball> Phazorx: Seems like an unhealthy drive
[13:20] <hateball> Phazorx: At the very least an unhealthy filesystem. You should check with smartctl and if that looks good, run fsck on your partitions
[13:21] <Phazorx> hateball: well smart doesnt report anything suspicious
[13:21] <sruli> ioria: it doesn’t, i guess the problem is because it wants xdisplay1, when i run yad/zenity from command line it works fine, in if-up/down script it wants xdisplay1 cant figure it out
[13:21] <maintenance> thanks a lot everybody for the support, it's work !!! have a nice day !!!
[13:23] <hateball> Phazorx: Then I'd liveboot your system and run fsck
[13:23] <sruli> ioria: worth to mention, i only have this problem in gnome 15.10, in lubuntu 15.10 and ubuntu 14.04 it works fine
[13:24] <k1l_> maintenance: for apt-get to install all new updates you need the apt-get dist-upgrade. apt-get upgrade is not allowed to install al updates that need to install new packages.
[13:24] <ioria> sruli,  i see ...  don't know much about gnome settings ... sy
[13:28] <maintenance> k1l_, ok, thanks for info
[13:29] <ioria> sruli,  anyway, could be a bit more complex, but Gtk gives you a more flexible  way to do it
[13:30] <sruli> ioria: dont know anything about gtk, how would i use it?
[13:30] <ioria> sruli,  in C and python you can create a lot of popups and dialogs
[13:31] <ioria> sruli,  and you wan't be tied to zenity
[13:31] <ioria> *won't
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> havent followed, zenity also creates popups
[13:32] <ioria> MonkeyDust, http://www.linux.org/threads/zenity-gui-for-shell-scripts.5567/
[13:32] <Phazorx> hateball: fsck runs on boot every time and have not reported error
[13:33] <Phazorx> smartctl tests short and long have not given any indication of an issue either
[13:33] <MonkeyDust> notify-send is also used for popups
[13:33] <Phazorx> however last time resuming from sleep failed to see boot partitoon as well as ext4 one
[13:34] <ioria> MonkeyDust, sure
[13:34] <Phazorx> hateball: perhaps you can read it differently: http://dpaste.com/1MAANF8
[13:35] <ioria> sruli,  check it out  http://www.pygtk.org/articles/pygtk-glade-gui/Creating_a_GUI_using_PyGTK_and_Glade.htm
[13:38] <hateball> Phazorx: nah it looks alright
[13:38] <grass843> Good Morning!
[13:39] <hateball> Phazorx: and this is a sata device and not usb? I am thinking if it gets powersaved after a while or something silly
[13:39] <sruli> ioria: thanks, but i need something simple, a 1 liner, so will stick with yad/zenity
[13:39] <ioria> sruli,  ah, ok
[13:39] <Phazorx> hateball: sata 2.5" inch in the laptop
[13:40] <grass843> My server stopped recognizing my NIC card after the last trusty update to the kernel. Now the NM service wont run.
[13:41] <grass843> Rollback was not a success
[13:41] <ioria> sruli,  check notify   too , http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/12/ubuntu-notify-send/
[13:42] <sruli> ioria: will look into that, thanks
[13:42] <ioria> sruli,  np
[13:43] <grass843> Any ides?
[13:43] <grass843> ideas*
[13:45] <dgo> hi there. I just purchase a digital ocean box. I want to securise it, ssh on another port and ufw is sufficient ?
[13:48] <crushcapitalism> install gentoo
[13:48] <dgo> ;-)
[13:50] <k1l_> dgo: that are some factors. things like fail2ban help too.
[13:51] <kwesidev> Ubuntu 14.04 Network manager stopped working after update.
[13:51] <k1l_> dgo: but most times servers get exploited because they use old software where known security issues are not fixed or use weak passwords.
[13:54] <grass843> kwesidev I am having the same issue
[13:58] <alb-ot> hello, is it possible to keep English as main language of my ubuntu 14.04, but also another language when i type something (in this chat for example) and i get the underline red for language correction?
[13:58] <Charly41> I have installed Kubuntu with the home folder ecrypted, the swap is not available and it was supposed to be shared with another linux distro, debian.  Now the swap works for debian but not for ubuntu, is it just enough to try to connect the swap to ubuntu or it should be another kind of dedicated swap?
[14:01] <pbx> curious. i ran sensible-browser just now and got all this: http://dpaste.com/2YKKWFG#wrap
[14:02] <Dworf> is there some powerfull socks proxy?
[14:02] <Dworf> ssh will crash in heavy load
[14:03] <rud0lf> greetings ladies and gentlemen
[14:05] <NeoFrontier> how do I check what is keeping this busy? :ALSA output error (snd_pcm_open): Device or resource busy
[14:07] <grass843> hello rud0lf
[14:08] <alb-ot> how much time do i need to wait to write the same message in this chat without getting a ban for spam? 1 hour?
[14:09] <lotuspsychje> alb-ot: re-ask once in a while, not flood
[14:09] <MonkeyDust> alb-ot  repeat your question every 10-15 minutes, until someone enters who can help
[14:09] <alb-ot> thanks MonkeyDust to be clear
[14:10] <rud0lf> if you care about it, i've installed ubuntu ~7 days ago and i adore it :)
[14:10] <lotuspsychje> !discuss | rud0lf great news, welcome to the community
[14:11] <rud0lf> thanks :)
[14:11] <lotuspsychje> rud0lf: if you have ubuntu related questions, or search any package you can ask here
[14:12] <rud0lf> i'm gonna consider it, thank you :)
[14:14] <Memento_Mori> Hi!
[14:15] <Memento_Mori> Are there any coders here?
[14:16] <Memento_Mori> Coders, coders?
[14:17] <Pici> Memento_Mori: This is a support channel for Ubuntu, if you want programming help its probably best to ask in a channel for the language you're using.
[14:17] <wyrm_88> I am runllng
[14:18] <rud0lf> could you repeat the other ubuntu channels? #ubuntu-offtopic and something else i've forgot
[14:18] <rud0lf> i just reconnected
[14:19] <Memento_Mori> Pici, I'm sorry, I'm new here
[14:19] <Memento_Mori> Can you recommend a channel please?
[14:19] <Memento_Mori> I
[14:19] <Memento_Mori> I'm looking for someone to help me code a website
[14:20] <Memento_Mori> Not you, someone xD
[14:20] <Pici> Memento_Mori: maybe ##programming would be a good place to start
[14:20] <lotuspsychje> !discuss | rud0lf
[14:20] <Memento_Mori> Thank you, my friends
[14:20] <rud0lf> thank you kindly :)
[14:20] <Memento_Mori> You are all very kind
[14:20] <Memento_Mori> Ah, programming is invite only...
[14:21] <wyrm_88>  am runing Ubuntu with Xchat   I need help  registering my nick and a few other things yep I am the dreaded newbie anyone want to help
[14:22] <xangua> !register | wyrm_88
[14:22] <axk4545> wyrm_88: ask in #freenode
[14:22] <lotuspsychje> Memento_Mori: should be joinable out of the box..
[14:23] <Xano> I have a T450s with Intel HD 5500 Graphics. Supposedly this is able to run 4k on a single screen, but when I just tried it with the built-in screen on as well (two separate desktops, no mirroring), the output on both screens showed issues, and the entire machine would inevitably freeze. Do I perhaps have to install Intel's drivers manually? I didn't find any for Linux on their site.
[14:23] <Memento_Mori> Apparently I'm banned from programming. I've never been there before. xD
[14:24] <wyrm_88> thanks
[14:24] <hateball> Xano: Intel drivers are included by default (mesa)
[14:24] <rud0lf> i've found this page lately: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
[14:24] <Xano> hateball, Good to know
[14:25] <rud0lf> there's support for 15.10 15.04 and 14.10
[14:25] <hateball> Xano: That said, what release are you using?
[14:25] <Xano> hateball, 15.10
[14:25] <hateball> Xano: As the Intel GPU depends on the kernel, and 5500 is quite new
[14:25] <Xano> I tried on the 4k Acer monitor of someone else working in this office. Not sure if that matters.
[14:26] <k1l_> rud0lf: no need for that actually. since 14.10 is dead, 15.04 will be dead in some days, and 15.10 got the latest driver
[14:26] <hateball> Xano: It's likely it will work better in 16.04 which has a newer kernel. You could liveboot and try
[14:26] <rud0lf> i see
[14:27] <rud0lf> i guess asking whether should i stay with 14.04 or upgrade to 15.10 is too general question?
[14:27] <k1l_> rud0lf: why would you want to upgrade to 15.10?
[14:27] <rud0lf> i was told that better is the enemy of good :)
[14:27] <Pici> rud0lf: I'd stick with 14.04 until the next LTS comes around (16.04)
[14:27] <rud0lf> i don't know :)
[14:27] <rud0lf> thanks, Pici
[14:27] <Pici> In fact, I'm doing just that :)
[14:28] <k1l_> rud0lf: if you dont know stay with the LTS. you can have the 15.10 kernel backports in the hardware enablement stack
[14:28] <alb-ot> is it possible to keep English as main language of my ubuntu 14.04, but also another language when i type something (in this chat for example) and i get the underline red for language correction?
[14:29] <Xano> alb-ot, Change the input language
[14:29] <Xano> alb-ot, That, and the UI language are two different things
[14:30]  * Xano looks up exactly how to do this
[14:31] <alb-ot> where should i change the input language? setting>keyboard>text entry>input sources has already the second language
[14:31] <alb-ot> Xano
[14:31] <Xano> alb-ot, Yeah it's not where I expected it to be. Maybe I'm confused with Mac OS
[14:31] <lotuspsychje> !language | alb-ot
[14:31] <lotuspsychje> oops
[14:32] <Xano> The settings I found indeed only relate to input device layouts and such
[14:32] <alb-ot> yep
[14:32] <Memento_Mori> How about angry, polite English?
[14:32] <Memento_Mori> PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!
[14:32] <alb-ot> haha
[14:32] <bazhang> !ibus
[14:32] <Memento_Mori> YOU LOOK LOVELY TODAY, LINDA!!!
[14:32] <alb-ot> hey! i don't need to chenge input language
[14:32] <lotuspsychje> !keyboard | alb-ot
[14:33] <rud0lf> is there something ubottu doesn't know? :)
[14:33] <alb-ot> i just want the correction underline removed if i type two languages
[14:33] <bazhang> use ibus then alb-ot
[14:33] <bazhang> Memento_Mori, silliness in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[14:34] <Xano> Most systems do not support mixing languages like that very well, so you'll have spellcheck in one language or the other
[14:34] <alb-ot> lotuspsychje that's not what i want
[14:34] <alb-ot> thanks Xano
[14:34] <Xano> alb-ot, But "spellcheck" is basically what you are looking for
[14:34] <alb-ot> where i can find spellcheck setting in ubuntu 14.04?
[14:35] <Xano> alb-ot, That should be easy to find with a search engine ;-)
[14:35] <alb-ot> "should", you're right
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> Xano  don't say that, when people come here for help
[14:35] <Xano> hateball, I'll give the live boot a try and see if that improves things. Otherwise I'll go with a monitor with a lower resolution.
[14:35] <jost> Hi! I have this graphics card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM204M [GeForce GTX 965M] (rev a1), running XUbuntu 14.04.3 using the nouveau-driver (installing the nvidia-driver killed the machine, lightdm wouldn't start anymore)... It works fine, but the HDMI output does not seem to work. Any hints how to make it work?
[14:36] <Xano> hateball, thanks!
[14:36] <lotuspsychje> jost: wich nvidia- version did you try?
[14:36] <jost> 352
[14:36] <jost> lo
[14:36] <jost> lotuspsychje,
[14:36] <DaMastah_> exit
[14:37] <lotuspsychje> jost: tryed other versions aswell?
[14:37] <Xano> MonkeyDust, Nothing wrong with showing people how to find something using a search engine.
[14:37] <Xano> alb-ot, MonkeyDust I did notice that there's on OS-level spellcheck settings indeed
[14:37] <jost> lotuspsychje: no, when trying to install the driver using synaptic it stalls and I have to cancel
[14:38] <lotuspsychje> jost: installed nvidia-prime?
[14:38] <Xano> alb-ot, Which application are you seeing these spelling errors in?
[14:38] <jost> lotuspsychje: not that I know of
[14:39] <lotuspsychje> jost: retry another nvidia- version + nvidia-prime and set your settings to perofmance mode from nvidia-settings
[14:39] <alb-ot> yea i was going to type that Xano, both gmail and hexchat has spellchecks, but for example the simple gedit has not, so i was thinking that maybe is a setting of gmail and hexchat that automatically choose the SO language for the spellcheck
[14:39] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime | jost
[14:39] <alb-ot> OS*
[14:40] <jost> lotuspsychje: ok, assuming that goes wrong and I cannot boot anymore afterwards, how do I make the machine work again?
[14:40] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | jost when things go wrong
[14:41] <lotuspsychje> jost: from the recoverymode, you can sudo apt-get purge nvidia to revert things
[14:41] <jost> lotuspsychje: ok, thanks
[14:41] <yharrow> hello
[14:41] <yharrow> I am having trouble with my keymap
[14:42] <yharrow> Is this the correct channel to ask for help?
[14:42] <lotuspsychje> jost: you might also try 15.10 for that new card
[14:42] <alb-ot> Xano also discuss has the spellcheck.. always English, but i do not type always in English and it's a pain to see always that spellcheck
[14:42] <jost> lotuspsychje: tried that last time, maybe that was part of the problem
[14:43] <MonkeyDust> yharrow  try setxbmap -layout [xx]
[14:43] <lotuspsychje> jost: tryed what exactly
[14:43] <Xano> alb-ot, yeah, same here, although I've learned to ignore it over the years over the different devices and languages I use
[14:43] <jost> lotuspsychje: updating 14.04 to 15.10, then installing the drivers
[14:43] <yharrow> what is xx?
[14:43] <MonkeyDust> yharrow  try setxkbmap -layout [xx]
[14:43] <alb-ot> Xano haha.. :(
[14:43] <jost> (with intermediate updates to 14.10 and 15.04
[14:43] <MonkeyDust> yharrow  xx is your country
[14:43] <jost> )
[14:43] <Xano> alb-ot, I'm searching for this in between work, but it's really not straightforward indeed. My apologies for assuming it was
[14:43] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, so USA?
[14:44] <MonkeyDust> yharrow  us
[14:44] <yharrow> ok
[14:44] <yharrow> Monthrect, the issue is with a single key
[14:44] <lotuspsychje> jost: ah but 14.10 is eol, maybe things got broken?
[14:44] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, the issue is with a single key
[14:44] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, the issue is with a single key, its quite strange
[14:44] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, basically the left key works fine, but specifically when i combine with Ctrl+Alt it becomes F10
[14:44] <philm88> Hey all. Running apt-get upgrade shows that some packages will be held back. Specifically, lxc-docker (1.7.1 => 1.9.1). I'm not sure why. From what I understnad of the docs, it seems to think that upgrading will cause dependencies to be removed or reinstalled. Is there a way to see /exactly/ why apt-get is holding back a package upgrade?
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> philm88: added ppa's of any kind?
[14:45] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, so Left is Left, but suddenly when i press Ctrl+Alt+Left then it is Ctrl+Alt+F10
[14:45] <k1l_> philm88: please run a "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" in a terminal
[14:45] <jost> lotuspsychje: thanks, seems to have worked - no freezing desktop yet, and the HDMI output works :-)
[14:45] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, I have no way of even guessing what causses this
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> jost: wich driver are you on now please?
[14:46] <jost> lotuspsychje: nvidia-352-updates
[14:46] <lotuspsychje> jost: with nvidia-prime and performance mode enabled?
[14:46] <rud0lf> /ns
[14:46] <philm88> lotuspsychje: Not ppas, but docker is has its own sources file with this in it; deb http://get.docker.io/ubuntu docker main -- I have a 2nd server that I updated a few days ago that has exactly the same set up (via ansible) and it didn't hold anything back, it just upgraded
[14:46] <rud0lf> err
[14:47] <philm88> k1l_: What does full-upgrade do that upgrade doesn't? This is a production web server so I'm trying to do my best at figuring out what exactly I'm running on it (:
[14:47] <jost> lotuspsychje: with nvidia-prime, but without performance mode (now I've enabled that as well)
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> yharrow  input method (i-bus) comes to mind
[14:47] <k1l_> philm88: it installes packages that are held bacl
[14:47] <k1l_> *back
[14:48] <lotuspsychje> jost: great! tnx for the feedback mate!
[14:48] <k1l_> philm88: apt upgrade is not allowed to install new packages. which is needed most times for held packages
[14:48] <philm88> k1l_: But what is the impact of that? Presumably there's a reason why they were held back. Could forcing the upgrade therefore cause issues?
[14:48] <lotuspsychje> jost: try some heavy stuff now, to test 1080p vids or games...
[14:48] <philm88> k1l_: ah ok, that makes sense
[14:49] <philm88> k1l_: is full-upgrade an aptitude command or an apt-get command?
[14:49] <k1l_> philm88: i named the command. "sudo apt full-upgrade"
[14:49] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, so what should i do to solve it?
[14:49] <k1l_> philm88: the older apt-get was "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" for that
[14:50] <philm88> k1l_: ah ok, I didn't realise there was an 'apt' tool now
[14:50] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, to be honest Im lucky I know about Server shortcuts, otherwise Id pretty much be stuck at an empty graphics terminal
[14:51] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, I was able to get back to my current session with Ctl+Alt+F7
[14:51] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, actually the solution i squite hilarious
[14:51] <Peanut> Hi, does anyone know about gnome-keyring-daemon? I'm a bit alarmed that it 'receives my login password', and aparently stores all kinds of secrets like .ssh passphrases, which I most definitely don't want it to store. Where can I find more about controlling/taming this thing?
[14:51] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, my f10 key was stuck
[14:51] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, Thanks for the help though :D
[14:51] <MonkeyDust> yharrow  thumbs up
[14:52] <philm88> k1l_: so if I do sudo apt-get -V -u dist-upgrade --assume-no then it still says lxc-docker will be held back
[14:52] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, 5 times out of 10 the problem is Analog xD
[14:52] <yharrow> MonkeyDust, thanks
[14:53] <k1l_> philm88: did you run apt update before?
[14:53] <k1l_> philm88: can you show the output from the dist-upgrade in a pastebin?
[14:54] <philm88> k1l_: Yes
[14:54] <philm88> ok, one sec
[14:54] <humanregret> Hey guys, new to linux.. So i've had to reinstall lubuntu ~3 times due to breaking it :( I was wondering if there is a way to create a backup image so i dont have to keep going fresh installs?
[14:55] <philm88> k1l_: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8858201
[14:55] <xangua> humanregret: why do you have to reinstall to begin with¿
[14:55] <Mike_Hunt> hello
[14:55] <Mike_Hunt> How do I get my videos to show in the video lens?
[14:55] <poohbear82> port 8080 is listening and ufw is disabled, yet connection is refused in the browser. what could it be?
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> humanregret  what goes wrong during installation?
[14:55] <philm88> k1l_: Previously, when I did 'upgrade' instead of 'dist-upgrade' it had a few more packages in the held back section.. Specifically the kernel packages
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> humanregret  a basic installation takes about 15 minutes
[14:56] <humanregret> well the last time i broke it.. i broke Xauthority.. root kept taking privileges from my user and so i couldnt load any wm/de at all
[14:56] <k1l_> philm88: that are a lot updates that are held back
[14:56] <philm88> k1l_: It's just one
[14:57] <xangua> humanregret: again, you're not telling us what you did, normally just saying "it's broke" wont help
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> humanregret  where did you get the ubuntu iso
[14:57] <philm88> k1l_: Line 20 onwards are packages that will be upgraded
[14:57] <philm88> It's just line 18 that's held back
[14:57] <k1l_> philm88: look at all the updates that still needs to be installed
[14:57] <Mike_Hunt> Nevermind I figured it out.
[14:57] <humanregret> I was trying to install bspwm (after the install) which caused xAuthority to go on the skits i dont know where the issue was hence why i had to reinstall :/
[14:58] <philm88> k1l_: Yeah, it's been a couple of months since the last upgrade
[14:58] <k1l_> philm88: could be the issue that the held back package needs a depency to be updated first. so i would suggest to get those updates first
[14:58] <MonkeyDust> !find bspwm
[14:58] <MonkeyDust> humanregret  so something from outside the repos breaks the suystem?
[14:59] <philm88> k1l_: Is there a way to confirm that? Like see exactly why my system is holding back lxc-docker?
[14:59] <humanregret> yeah
[14:59] <humanregret> my lack of knowledge is screwing it up
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> humanregret  what's the output of   cat /etc/issue
[15:00] <humanregret> Nothing is wrong at the moment, i just finished a fresh install, i was hoping to be able to create a backup image incase i mess things up again
[15:00] <k1l_> philm88: run a -s to simulate. i think that should be updated so
[15:00] <k1l_> *too
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> humanregret  clonezilla is popular
[15:01] <philm88> k1l_: So a dist-upgrade -s and see if it includes lxc-docker in it's dryrun?
[15:01] <humanregret> alright
[15:01] <humanregret> thanks
[15:01] <k1l_> philm88: yes. i think it will install that update.
[15:02] <k1l_> philm88: and i really suggest you run those lots of updates, since there are some security issues fixed in those udpates.
[15:02] <philm88> k1l_: So I did the dryrun and it still said lxc-docker is to be held back and there was no later Inst line indicating it was installed anyway
[15:03] <philm88> k1l_: I do plan to do the upgrades, it's exactly what I'm planning now. But I want lxc-docker to be included in the upgrades.
[15:03] <philm88> k1l_: I'm just a bit nervous of doing some upgrades and just hoping the lxc-docker will then be ok to be upgraded afterwards
[15:03] <philm88> especially with a dist-upgrade vs just an 'upgrade'
[15:03] <somsip> philm88: docker can get messed up if you have used one of the alt installs at any other time
[15:04] <somsip> philm88: I ended up purging the lot, and using the curl ... | sh - script provided on the docker website (IIRC)
[15:04] <k1l_> philm88: then do the -s run and see
[15:04] <k1l_> the simulate doesnt do any changes.
[15:05] <philm88> somsip: this server was set up with ansible and that used the nasty curl | sh approach - so I'm pretty sure this server doesn't have any old installs lying around
[15:06] <philm88> k1l_: Yeah I think that's going to have to be what I do. Just a bit more tricky to plan
[15:06] <somsip> philm88: so an update is probably not going to want to touch docker if it's come from a non-official source
[15:07] <somsip> philm88: sorry - reading back now. You want to upgrade and leave docker alone, then upgrade docker separately, yes?
[15:07] <philm88> I kind of wanted to be able to, today, say "These are all the changes, from x to y versions" and tomorrow morning run that exact upgrade and know what I'm getting. Rather than having to do 2 seperate upgrade operations
[15:07] <poohbear82> port 8080 is listening and ufw is disabled, yet connection is refused in the browser. what could it be?
[15:07] <philm88> somsip: The curl | sh approach adds an extra apt sources file for docker; so it should still be upgradable with apt-get right?
[15:08] <k1l_> philm88: since you are using non ubuntu repos that is the point of failure.
[15:08] <k1l_> philm88: ubuntu repos are heavily automated tested to be sure the updates work. but that doesnt count for 3rd party repos.
[15:10] <somsip> philm88: this was my point. From memory, there was a non-official ubuntu install (curl adds a PPA) an official ubuntu install (lxc-docker), there is a docker.io package too, and the current non-ubuntu install that I did the other week that has left no PPA source. Just suggesting you make sure you have something that is current because there have been changes to install methods over the last year or so
[15:11] <philm88> somsip: ah right, I didn't realise they'd been changing the install method
[15:11] <philm88> ...I'm sure they have their reasons, but it makes you question their sanity if their initial implementation didn't have a viable upgrade path...
[15:12] <somsip> philm88: it caught me the other week, hence purging the lot and installing from the script off the website. Depends what you need.
[15:13] <somsip> philm88: I guess it was just changing rapidly, and it is possible early versions were pre 1.0
[15:14] <philm88> somsip: Do you know if they've included stuff like docker compose in their latest install method? Currently my ansible scripts are pulling that from github; which is a bit of a pain because it obviously won't be included in an apt-get upgrade ata ll
[15:14] <somsip> philm88: I don't. I just saw where you were on this and wanted to sound the alarm for you.
[15:15] <somsip> philm88: may be a false alarm, but worth checking out so you dont drop yourself in it
[15:15] <philm88> somsip: yeah, thanks for the heads up (:
[15:15] <somsip> philm88: np
[15:16] <Pinkamena_D> in the system monitor, I see free mem % which looks like it uses the formula (100*(used-cached-buffers))/total . Does anyone know why the buffers are not considered part of the total?

[15:24] <user54541210> guys does someone know how to fix video problems of Ubuntu 15.1?
[15:24] <PHroGman> My unity greeter indicators ubuntu 14.04 appear to be generic looking blank icons. They do seem to function as intended but soar to the eye. However, when I log in as a guest or user, the indicator icons are normal looking. Is there a way to fix this? I have looked at the deconf editor and icons are listed correctly under com/unity.... ['ug-accessibility', 'com.canonical.indicator.keyboard', 'com.canonical.indicator.session', '
[15:24] <PHroGman> com.canonical.indicator.datetime', 'com.canonical.indicator.power', 'com.canonical.indicator.sound', 'application']
[15:24] <PHroGman> One other thing the accessability icon is normal looking and date and time are normal looking its just keyboard power and sound that are blank square icons.
[15:25] <PHroGman> Thanks for the help.

[15:28] <JDuke128> hi , how can i get open file returns "path not exists" on all processes ? by using strace ?
[15:28] <JDuke128> how ?
[15:28] <JDuke128> i want to hook any open file that returns "path not exists"
[15:34] <Pinkamena_D> I have a small program that gets me cpu usage from a bunch of remote servers. I have a problem that the cpu usage seems to spike right after the ssh connection is being established, so usually I see 90%-100% cpu use even though that is not representative of the actual load.
[15:34] <Pinkamena_D> How can I get the average cpu over the last 5 minutes instead?
[15:35] <EriC^^> uptime , second column is load since 5 minutes
[15:36] <ubuntu831> hi, i have a problem with a pci card silverstone ecu01m it's not working, i search if it's ubuntu or motherboard in cause, can you help me find what i can doing http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=498
[15:37] <EriC^^> Pinkamena_D: awk '{print$2}' /proc/loadavg
[15:37] <ubuntu831> dmesg said "FADT indicates ASPM is unsupported, using BIOS configuration" , i didnt know what it is
[15:38] <Pinkamena_D> I guess thats a good start, but wont work if there are multiplr cpu
[15:38] <EriC^^> Pinkamena_D: you want them per cpu?
[15:39] <LordDragon> hey all
[15:39] <Pinkamena_D> no, just total overall
[15:39] <EriC^^> that's total overall
[15:39] <EriC^^> i think
[15:39] <Pinkamena_D> if there an efficient way to get cpu count from /proc?
[15:39] <Pinkamena_D> is*
[15:39] <EriC^^> i've 8 cpus and it shows a number which is average for all i think
[15:39] <LordDragon> i am pulling my hair out here trying to install to an ssd. been googling and trying suggestions on forums for hours now
[15:39] <EriC^^> or 8 cores? dunno if there's a difference it's an i7
[15:39] <nacc> Pinkamena_D: # of cpus? just grab the last 'processor : ' line?
[15:40] <nacc> Pinkamena_D: and add 1
[15:40] <LordDragon> the problem is the bootloader. the installation always fails to install grub on ANY drive i select
[15:40] <nacc> Pinkamena_D: that only works on intel
[15:40] <LordDragon> and i cant boot it after its installed
[15:40] <hnsz2002_>  
[15:40] <LordDragon> i read that i might need to be booting the installer usb flash drive in UEFI mode for it work
[15:40] <LordDragon> so i tried this
[15:40] <LordDragon> http://askubuntu.com/questions/395879/how-to-create-uefi-only-bootable-usb-live-media/
[15:40] <LordDragon> but the flash drive is not even bootable at all after following that
[15:41] <Pinkamena_D> so I have a computer with 4 cpu and almost 100% usage, I get 3.7 or so using that loadavg commmand
[15:41] <LordDragon> im just so lost as to all this bootloader stuff. UEFI vs legacy. GPT vs mbr. dual boot with windows. EFI partitions. etc. could someone point me in the right direction please?
[15:41] <Pinkamena_D> so you need to multiply by 100 and divide by numcpu
[15:42] <EriC^^> Pinkamena_D: it's a 5minute average
[15:42] <grass843> Google?
[15:42] <felis> ïðèâåò
[15:43] <EriC^^> Pinkamena_D: that doesn't make sense
[15:43] <Pinkamena_D> EriC^^: As a user I would like to see a number between 0 and 100 for cpu usage, no patter the number of cpus.
[15:44] <Pinkamena_D> seeing "3.7" and knowing that is close to max is not immedietly obvious
[15:44] <Pinkamena_D> (when managing many systems with various cpu configurations)
[15:46] <EriC^^> Pinkamena_D: maybe install sysstat
[15:56] <ibico> Norwegian guy, that just learning Linux trough NTNU :-)  Hi all..
[15:59] <k1l_> hi :)
[15:59] <anonymous287> hello guys
[15:59] <ibico> Last time I used IRC was back when Mirc was popular :_)
[16:00] <anonymous287> so i try to open my ports but it wouldnt
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> mirc is a windows app
[16:00] <ibico> yeah.. Back when I had Win95  and Dos :-)
[16:01] <rud0lf> mirc is still popular
[16:01] <rud0lf> but the scripting language is a bit icky
[16:01] <pbx> Pinkamena_D, i found this somewhat helpful explanation in `man uptime`: http://dpaste.com/3GSQF6W
[16:02] <Sansay> my server shut down unexpectedly, any suggestions on what steps to take in order to figure out what caused it?
[16:02] <qasdfasda> Hello friends!!
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> !dmesg | Sansay start here
[16:02] <Seveas> Sansay: check logs. dmesg is uesless as it's lost on reboot
[16:02] <k1l_> Sansay: see the syslogs in "/var/log" keep in mint that after reboot they get renamed to .0, .1 etc
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> Sansay  disregard what i said
[16:03] <Seveas> k1l_: no they don't. They get renamed when logrotate runs.
[16:04] <k1l_> Seveas: i thought that was on reboot.
[16:04] <codepython777> how do i manage public/private key pairs on different machines? I've a new machine from which i want to ssh to a box that only accepts publickey auth.
[16:05] <Seveas> k1l_: well, it's not :) check /etc/logrotate.{conf,d} :)
[16:05] <Seveas> codepython777: get the admin of the remote box to put your public key in place.
[16:06] <Sansay> any idea what i would be looking for?
[16:06] <k1l_> Sansay: look what happened before the next boot starts
[16:07] <codepython777> Seveas: I'm the admin. Now i have to goto my old box - what is an easy way to maintain this information?
[16:07] <codepython777> Seveas: not to mention the old box which can login into this server is right now switched off
[16:07] <Seveas> codepython777: if it's two boxes: just put the public key there manually. If it becomes more than a few boxes, set up ldap.
[16:09] <Sansay> how do i know when the next boot starts? does it tell me or is it by time?
[16:10] <Sansay> Feb  1 15:53:43 server-name kernel: imklog 5.8.6, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
[16:12] <cccc> server irc.chatro.ro
[16:19] <rajeshkt> getting an error trying to upgrade from 14.01 to 15.01.. "ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.'".. anyone has any idea how to solve this?
[16:19] <k1l_> rajeshkt: what gives you "lsb_release -d"?
[16:20] <rajeshkt> kll: escription:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
[16:20] <rajeshkt> kll_: I get this "Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3"
[16:21] <k1l_> rajeshkt: so you are on 14.04, where do you want to upgrade to?
[16:21] <k1l_> (and why?)
[16:22] <rajeshkt> kll_: I am using kubuntu and would like to go to KDE5 for new GUI.. I am using KDE 4.14.3 now.. I need to updrade KDE plasma 5..
[16:24] <rajeshkt> kll_: is there anyway to upgrade to KD5 without upgrading to ubuntu 15?
[16:26] <MonkeyDust> rajeshkt  ubuntu 16.04 will soon be released
[16:27] <k1l_> rajeshkt: 15.04 is going end of life in a few days. so you need to upgrade to 14.10, then to 15.04 and then to 15.10
[16:28] <rajeshkt> kll_: how do I do it
[16:29] <rajeshkt> kll_: I chose to upgrade using  muon upgrade and it fails with the error I said before
[16:29] <rajeshkt> kll_:  I searched in google but not getting anything to solve it
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> rajeshkt  can you create a dvd/usb?
[16:33] <mikecmpbll> anybody know what happens with syslog if you configure a remote logging location and it's unavailable?
[16:33] <k1l_> i dont know about kde software. but to upgrade to 14.10 you need to manually change the repos to the old-release repos first (14.10 beeing already shut down since its dead). then run "sudo do-release-upgrade". when you are on 14.10 you need to upgrade to 15.04 then
[16:33] <mikecmpbll> just planning before i embark on setting up centralised logging server
[16:33] <Seveas> mikecmpbll: it will explode :)
[16:33] <mikecmpbll> Seveas: :((
[16:33] <mikecmpbll> :D
[16:33] <k1l_> !eolupgrades | rajeshkt this shows what you need to edit in the sources.list
[16:33] <Seveas> mikecmpbll: if you use udp as a transport, the message will be lost. if you use tcp, some implementations retry, some won't.
[16:34] <mikecmpbll> Seveas: i see, make sense
[16:53] <testubuntu> hello
[16:54] <testubuntu> someone online?
[16:54] <rypervenche> Yep.
[16:54] <testubuntu> can i ask you a simple terminal question=?
[16:55] <PhilippeVienne> Hello, i want to reduce my screen size from broken part on the left part (about 70px) ?
[16:56] <earl_> testubuntu: yeah, ask away
[16:56] <testubuntu> i want extraxt multiple files like: fg01.part1.rar part2.rar etc.
[16:56] <testubuntu> and fg02.part1.rar etc.
[16:57] <testubuntu> i have 60 files like this
[16:57] <testubuntu> now i unrar it with
[16:58] <testubuntu> for f in *.rar; do unrar e -palwayssame "$f"; done
[16:58] <testubuntu> but after the first file extraxtion it asks
[16:58] <testubuntu> file already exist. Overwrite it
[16:58] <testubuntu> Yes no always never
[16:59] <testubuntu> and no matter what letter i use it always start extracting from beginning...
[16:59] <testubuntu> its like a loop (when I say never it will ask the same question after extracting file2)
[17:00] <testubuntu> how do i solve this
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> testubuntu  spare the enter key, put all in one line, so ypou can easily repeat
[17:02] <lewis> when i type cd
[17:02] <lewis> where does it take us to
[17:02] <lewis> cd withoutparams
[17:02] <MonkeyDust> lewis  to your home folder
[17:02] <lewis> MonkeyDust: nice i never knew that lol...cd ~ = cd $HOME = cd
[17:04] <SchrodingersScat> lewis: correct
[17:06] <testubuntu> Ok new start without Enter-Key^^: I want extract multiple rar files they are like this ( hotchick.part1.rar hotchick.part2.rar, uglygirl.part1.rar uglygirl.part2.rar) now i extract this with the command: (( for f in *.rar; do unrar e -p"samepasswordonallfiles" "$f"; done )) but after extracting the first file (hotchick) it says hotchick already exi
[17:06] <testubuntu> st.Overwrite it? [Y]es [N]o N[e]ver [A]lways... and even if I say E for never it asks the same after extragting uglychick
[17:08] <akik> testubuntu: rar knows to select the correct file names if you start with the first one
[17:10] <al2o3-cr> testubuntu: unrar x -ppassword *.rar # this might work
[17:10] <SchrodingersScat> testubuntu: so, really you may want for f in *.part1.rar ; do unrar e -p"whatever" "$f" ; done ?
[17:11] <SchrodingersScat> !codeofconduct | testubuntu also try to not be derogatory towards women in your questions.
[17:11] <rrichardsr3> what is cloudimg-rootfs? I see the partition in my aws instance. Thanks
[17:12] <SchrodingersScat> rrichardsr3: that amazon?  then that's whatever they called their rootfs, it's not a ubuntu specific thing afaik
[17:12] <rrichardsr3> Schrodinger: thanks
[17:18] <EdwardIII> hey, i've got libssl-dev installed but when i try and build something that relies on it i'm seeing: ‘SSLv3_method’ undeclared here
[17:18] <EdwardIII> is there some way i can see if my libssl was compiled without v3? that seems very unlikely
[17:19] <EdwardIII> ah wait, no, it actually sounds very likely
[17:19] <EdwardIII> and probably a good thing
[17:19] <littlebear> EdwardIII, SSLv3 is probably depreciated
[17:19] <Mike---> Hello, is all DDR3 laptop RAM compatible with eachother?
[17:19] <EdwardIII> yeah
[17:19] <EdwardIII> what the hell ruby...
[17:19] <ikonia> Mike---: try the ##hardware channel
[17:21] <Mike---> i just upgraded a new stick of RAM.  One stick shows "width:  8bits".  the other stick shows "width: 64bits"
[17:21] <Mike---> when i run:  lshw-gtk
[17:22] <jul4> hi im new to ubuntu
[17:22] <ikonia> Mike---: ok, so the ##hardware channel can guide you on ram options
[17:22] <jul4> is there a need to install anti virus?
[17:22] <ikonia> jul4: not really
[17:22] <Mike---> ikonia: thx, but that is a member-only channel.
[17:22] <ikonia> Mike---: then register for a freenode account
[17:22] <jul4> so its pretty safe huh
[17:23] <ikonia> the guys in #freenode can guide you on how
[17:23] <Mike---> ikonia: any other channel recommendations for my question?
[17:23] <ikonia> jul4: it's as safe as the person using it
[17:23] <ikonia> Mike---: sorry no
[17:23] <jul4> lol..thanks ikonia
[17:24] <Mike---> jul4: i dont install antivirus.  i think the only reason to do that is to scan for windows viruses  e.g.  if you are sening files to windows users
[17:26] <jul4> thanks mike..
[17:28] <Mike---> jul4: you can TAB-autocomplete IRC nicknames

[17:39] <[diablo]_> Good evening #ubuntu ... I've got a Lenovo X61S and a ASUS BT-400 USB bluetooth device. I'd like to blacklist the inbuilt BT and use the BT-400 by default. I've got the MAC address's of both devices, can anyone advise on how to do this please?
[17:40] <lotuspsychje> [diablo]: is there a setting in bios you could disable of the internal bt?
[17:40] <[diablo]_> sadly not
[17:40] <[diablo]_> I checked that first
[17:41] <lotuspsychje> [diablo]: hmm not sure then sorry, maybe with rfkill
[17:41] <[diablo]_> I was hoping to blacklist the driver
[17:42] <[diablo]_> perhaps that could work
[17:42] <lotuspsychje> [diablo]: check rfkill list all
[17:43] <lotuspsychje> [diablo]: maybe youl see your both bt devices, and can block the internal one?
[17:44] <[diablo]_> im trying hciconfig
[17:44] <lotuspsychje> [diablo]: check this out: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67758/how-can-i-deactivate-bluetooth-on-system-startup
[17:44] <[diablo]_> I'd like to keep the bluetooth manager working tho
[17:44] <[diablo]_> but with the new device
[17:44] <[diablo]_> tried to find the config file
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> [diablo]: this looks like your case: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2262775
[17:49] <[diablo]_> cheers lotuspsychje I'll read it.. brb
[17:50] <yet> hi could you pls tell me how can i enable grub2 boot menu on ubuntu shit?
[17:50] <cfhowlett> yet no profanity.
[17:50] <cortexman> how do i disable alt showing me a "Type your command" window on my right monitor when using Terminal?
[17:50] <tannerstirrat> hey all
[17:51] <tannerstirrat> do you know whether there's a way to uninstall/reinstall windows display drivers from the ubuntu side of a dual-booted compu?
[17:51] <tannerstirrat> my windows 10 install updated a new display driver, and now it boots to black
[17:55] <cortexman> how do i disable the Alt key pulling up the launcher
[17:56] <squinty> tannerstirrat,  not sure if still holds true for win 10,but previous versions allowed a Safe Mode boot by holding down the F8 key right after the computer boot splash screen
[17:56] <tannerstirrat> ah, kk
[17:56] <tannerstirrat> i'll give that a try
[17:56] <tannerstirrat> i'd forgotten how to enable that
[17:56] <tannerstirrat> thank you!

[18:02] <cool_boy> hi there, could someone check if 31.220.18.94 responds to ping or root@31.220.18.94 responds to ssh? It is not responding to me but If I check ping online through it responds
[18:03] <cool_boy> through 3rd party website *
[18:05] <Bashing-om> cool_boy: " 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms
[18:06] <cool_boy> Bashing-om: thanks, and does it respond to ssh also?
[18:07] <Bashing-om> cool_boy: No longer have a ssh client installed on this box .
[18:07] <ANTRAX> http://ppp95-165-155-168.pppoe.spdop.ru/Sektor%20Gaza/
[18:07] <cool_boy> Bashing-om: how can I know that?
[18:08] <Bashing-om> cool_boy: Ping your router ? .. port forwarding ?
[18:08] <Myrtti> ANTRAX: could you stop?
[18:09] <mike25__> Hi. On my machine, unprivileged LXC maps uid 0 to nobody/nogroup, by default. Which is probably expected, as it prevents me to read /etc/shadow in my own container shar
[18:09] <mike25__> ing the root with the host. So is that configurable somehow, to make an unprivileged lxc-start work at all?
[18:09] <cool_boy> Bashing-om: there is no port forwarding certainly
[18:12] <cool_boy> I am going to restart my routher, will be right back

[18:15] <ANTRAX> ok
[18:23] <ash_workz> what is the  most popular irc client on ubuntu? chatzilla?
[18:24] <Bashing-om> ash_workz: Choice, use what works best for you . ( I use irssi )
[18:24] <cfhowlett> ash_workz, sadly, it's probably xchat as that is still included in ubuntu tho it is abandonware
[18:24] <squinty> hexchat
[18:25] <teward> cfhowlett: thought hexchat got into the repos from Trusty onwards?
[18:25] <squinty> it did
[18:25] <PETsounds> Are there disadavantages of installing 4.4 DRM-Intel-Next instead of the regular 4.4 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D?
[18:26] <cfhowlett> teward, good to know.  I only do LTS so I miss things.  Hopefully the xubuntu team updates their packages
[18:26] <ash_workz> hmm, I see
[18:26] <ash_workz> Bashing-om: yeah, I am trying to figure that out :P
[18:26] <cfhowlett> PETsounds, drm?  yeah, I'd say NO.
[18:27] <teward> cfhowlett: xchat and hexchat both exist - that would require a metapackage change most likely
[18:27] <ash_workz> hexchat ! == xchat?
[18:27] <cfhowlett> xchat exists but hasn't seen an update in 3 years ... no wil it.
[18:27] <Bashing-om> ash_workz: :)
[18:27] <squinty> hexchat is based on xchat
[18:27] <cfhowlett> hexchat is the recommended replacement for xchat
[18:27] <rww> cfhowlett: it got removed from Debian testing yesterday, so it being in Ubuntu will fix itself eventually :)
[18:28] <rww> and unstable*
[18:28] <cfhowlett> https://hexchat.github.io/news/announcement.html
[18:28] <ash_workz> cfhowlett: and your preferred?
[18:28] <cfhowlett> hexchat /ignore feature works perfectly.  sealed the deal for me.
[18:29] <ash_workz> i see
[18:29] <ash_workz> does hexchat scroll through names with tab-autocomplete?
[18:29] <cfhowlett> ash_workz, yes
[18:30] <ash_workz> chatzilla doesn't; it's the one thing I miss from freenodes webchat
[18:30] <PETsounds> cfhowlett: do you mean No disadavatges or No, don't install drm-intel-next kernel? i was hoping to get better graphics support for Skylake chips and thinking by installing drm-intel-next it'll improve the performance, but maybe i am wrong?
[18:30] <cfhowlett> PETsounds, ah, skylake.  I don't know enough about that to advise, sorry
[18:31] <PETsounds> cfhowlett: ok, thanks anyway
[18:32] <Bashing-om> PETsounds: Boot parameter " i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 " ? for skylake .
[18:35] <PETsounds> Bashing-om: from what i read, since kernel 4.3 there is no need to add that parameter. https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2015q4-intel-graphics-stack-release It is just i cannot play 4K video at 60 FPS. Which i blame for the lack of Linux support in the driver.
[18:35] <Bashing-om> PETsounds: Thanks for the link . reading .. see what else I can come up with .
[18:36] <PETsounds> Bashing-om: you're welcome
[18:36] <dociledevil> I am bored af
[18:36] <cfhowlett> dociledevil, wrong channel
[18:36] <dociledevil> yah no shit
[18:37] <cfhowlett> dociledevil, no profanity here.  stop now
[18:37] <dociledevil> you mean the s word?
[18:37] <MonkeyDust> dociledevil  stop
[18:37] <dociledevil> jeez.. I cant even say the s word?
[18:38] <cfhowlett> ash_workz, here's how that love feature works.  right click on the name, select ignore and they vanish.  hexchat got it right
[18:38] <dociledevil> why is your name in red?
[18:38] <dociledevil> I am new to irc btw!
[18:39] <MonkeyDust> dociledevil  this is ubuntu support. sure you have to be here?
[18:39] <dociledevil> yup
[18:39] <dociledevil> But why is your name in red MonkeyDust???
[18:39] <MonkeyDust> dociledevil  then behave and ask your ubuntu question
[18:40] <dociledevil> Why is your name in Red... I just asked the question
[18:40] <ash_workz> that is nice, but I haven't had to ignore anyone really
[18:42] <dociledevil> ok so I was installing gnome and the connection disconnected..  now what? do I have to install it from the beginning?
[18:44] <abolfazl123> there is a file in my Home that is "testpy.py" when I type locate testpy.py its no found that dir.why it can find that?
[18:45] <ioria> abolfazl123, sudo updatedb
[18:46] <abolfazl123> what it do?
[18:46] <ioria> abolfazl123, update your database
[18:46] <ioria> abolfazl123, ... for locate
[18:46] <abolfazl123> i should do that every time after make a new file?
[18:47] <ioria> abolfazl123,  it should run as cron, but if you need it riight after the file creation, yes
[18:47] <abolfazl123> thanks
[18:47] <ioria> abolfazl123, no problem
[18:50] <freecoder> hi. i am using ubuntu 14.04.2 (kernel 3.16.0-60-generic). i have to recompile the kernel for an assignment. i have linux-headers-3.16.0-60 and linux-headers-3.16.0-60-generic subdirectories in /usr/src. are these enough to recompile the kernel?
[18:51] <freecoder> or do i need to download the sources separately using "apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)" as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel
[18:51] <MonkeyDust> freecoder  firstly, the current ubuntu release is 14.04.3, with .4 coming up this month
[18:51] <abolfazl123> how i find propertic of a file in terminal?
[18:51] <Bashing-om> PETsounds: The boot paramaeter still required ? As of last Nov : https://01.org/linuxgraphics/forum/graphics-installer-discussions/trying-open-device-i915...failed .
[18:51] <freecoder> MonkeyDust: I would prefer to build the current kernel (limited internet access).
[18:51] <abolfazl123> or dir>

[18:52] <al2o3-cr> abolfazl123: stat
[18:53] <kwesidev> @freecoder why don't you compile in vm??
[18:53] <freecoder> i have it installed inside a vm only
[18:53] <ioria> abolfazl123,  for directory ls -ld
[18:54] <abolfazl123> yes i got it
[18:54] <freecoder> i have to show the steps i followed to recompile the kernel for the assignment
[18:54] <MrJones> hi
[18:55] <MrJones> does add-apt-repository somehow verify the PPA server, and obtain the repo key in a safe manner? from the command line output it seems to fetch the apt key for the PPA via the *short* key id which afaik is very easy to pander with
[18:55] <PETsounds> Bashing-om: The OP said he's using the 4.2 Kernel
[18:55] <MrJones> so does it do any additional verification? otherwise that seems rather unsafe :/

[19:22] <abolfazl123> saveas:so how can i work with that?

[19:25] <abolfazl123> when you ask this like I'm  not sure about that:)
[19:26] <teward> LordDragon: edgers PPA isn't recommended - you may have to test and find out ofr yourself which nvidia package you need to use that supports your card
[19:26] <LordDragon> teward: what is recommended?
[19:26] <rww> the normal packages in Ubuntu's normal repositories
[19:27] <LordDragon> whats the latest of those?
[19:38] <ubuntu-mate> hi everyone
[19:41] <abolfazl123> hi

[20:09] <LifeLibertyHappi> give me an example of domain.tld where domain is ca.potatoes.com
[20:10] <LifeLibertyHappi> ioria, what do i check for
[20:10] <Pici> LifeLibertyHappi: what do you mean by short name?
[20:10] <ioria> LifeLibertyHappi,   something like this : 192.168.1.110   name.example.edu   name
[20:10] <endev15> pbx, before the problem the Unity launcher was not showing his applications so we tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop then sudo apt-get install unity. Everything still worked fine until he rebooted.
[20:11] <FelixFire619> is there a hotkey in ubuntu to enable an external monitor if it works? i cant see the screen i should be in ubuntu(been running 12hrs from boot)
[20:11] <LifeLibertyHappi> Pici, short name = Computer-Laptop instead of Computer-Laptop.ca.potatoes.com
[20:11] <FelixFire619> when i boot the laptop vga external auto works, when i load ubuntu it disables vga
[20:11] <Pici> LifeLibertyHappi: then what ioria suggested should fix you.
[20:11] <FelixFire619> (or atleast external)
[20:12] <LifeLibertyHappi> well. i mean, i have a bunch of hosts. it would be crazy to edit the host file
[20:12] <ioria> LifeLibertyHappi,   maybe you need a dhcp service
[20:12] <LifeLibertyHappi> i do.
[20:12] <LifeLibertyHappi> and a dns
[20:13] <ioria> !info isc-dhcp-server
[20:13] <pbx> endev15, sounds like unity broke in the process. i'd try logging in on a virtual console, e.g. hit CTRL+ALT+F1
[20:13] <ioria> !info bind9
[20:13] <endev15> pbx, Yep, that works.
[20:14] <LifeLibertyHappi> thanks guys
[20:14] <ioria> np
[20:14] <endev15> pbx, in fact, last night I had him log into the console and make sure his home directory was owned by the correct person, as well as doing sudo apt-get install unity ubuntu-desktop
[20:14] <pbx> endev15, so now you're down to reinstalling unity, or inspecting the existing install to see what's broken, or installing another DE to make the machine usable
[20:15] <pbx> endev15, make sure `sudo apt-get update` is run first
[20:15] <endev15> pbx, so what you would suggest is log onto the console, then run sudo apt-get purge unity finishing off with sudo apt-get install unity?
[20:16] <endev15> pbx, yes, we ran update first
[20:18] <duckgoose> I love windows
[20:18] <duckgoose> windows is so great
[20:18] <mehnou> Fuck this
[20:18] <pbx> endev15, yeah, reinstall.  also perhaps `sudo apt-get check && sudo apt-get install -f`
[20:18] <endev15> pbx, check does what?
[20:19] <endev15> pbx, also would i do that before or after reinstalling?
[20:19] <pbx> endev15, "check - Verify that there are no broken dependencies"
[20:19] <pbx> endev15, before
[20:20] <endev15> pbx, and install -f installs any dependencies?
[20:21] <pbx> endev15, "-f  Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place"
[20:21] <pbx> endev15, also you shouldn't have to ask for unity separately. it's a dep of ubuntu-desktop
[20:23] <endev15> pbx, so I should run the following: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get check && sudo apt-get install -f, then is it still doesnt work sudo apt-get purge unity, sudo apt-get install unity?
[20:24] <pbx> endev15, install ubuntu-desktop, not unity
[20:24] <pbx> unless  you know that unity alone is broken
[20:25] <pbx> endev15, also, those first commands aren't likely to fix it alone, the idea is just to get things as clean and correct as possible before proceeding
[20:25] <endev15> pbx, should I purge ubuntu-desktop too? Or will that be automatic with Unity?
[20:25] <pbx> endev15, i'd purge both then install ubuntu-desktop
[20:26] <endev15> pbx, so check, install -f, then if it doesn't work, purge ubuntu-desktop, purge unity, install ubuntu-desktop, install unity?
[20:28] <pbx> endev15, yes, and when you're installing, just install ubuntu-desktop, you don't need to manually install unity, because unity is a dependency of ubuntu-desktop, which means it will be automatically installed when you install ubuntu-desktop
[20:36] <amazoniantoad> Why can't I run my .exe program?
[20:36] <amazoniantoad> Internet explorer won't start.
[20:36] <ikonia> because it's a windows application
[20:36] <amazoniantoad> Oh...
[20:36] <dreadkopp> you would need wine to run windows executables
[20:36] <teward> amazoniantoad: IE inside of Wine on any LInux has always been sketchy
[20:36] <amazoniantoad> dreadkopp, I think I've had enough to drink, thanks
[20:36] <ikonia> just don't do it
[20:37] <dreadkopp> wine -> wine is not a windows emulator ;)
[20:37] <dreadkopp> also just don't use ie
[20:37] <oula> please anyone can help me ..i am using virtual machine manager in ubuntu desktop to create a virtual machine in ubuntu server .. i made the connection between them..but when starting to create the virtual machine .. i have this error "error setting media location "
[20:38] <ikonia> oula: the media it's trying to boot from is invalid
[20:40] <oula> ikonia , i stored the ISO in the server in /var/lib/libvirt/images as needed in the location of the virtual machine manager
[20:40] <mistralol> where can i get a ubuntu 32bit efi boot image from?
[20:40] <ikonia> oula: look at teh storage pool definitions with virtmanager
[20:42] <amazoniantoad> Why isn't task manager showing?
[20:42] <amazoniantoad> I keep hitting ctrl+alt+del
[20:42] <oula> ikonia , i didnt understand .. i am a begginer
[20:42] <amazoniantoad> oula, wait what are you trying to do?
[20:42] <amazoniantoad> oh
[20:42] <ioria> amazoniantoad, are you on lubuntu ?
[20:42] <ikonia> amazoniantoad: stop messing around
[20:43] <ikonia> amazoniantoad: you're not using windows and you know this
[20:43] <amazoniantoad> okay well you are looking for a hypervisor
[20:43] <amazoniantoad> oula, look for esxi as the OS
[20:43] <ikonia> amazoniantoad: stop it now
[20:43] <amazoniantoad> it's a stand-alone server that hosts vm's
[20:43] <amazoniantoad> ikonia, okaaay
[20:43] <ioria> amazoniantoad, that works on lubuntu or lxde
[20:43] <amazoniantoad> ioria, really?
[20:43] <ikonia> oula: if you look in virt manager there are storage pools, normally for the media and a different one for the vms, look at the defintiion (hit refresh too on the media store) see if the ISO shows up
[20:43] <ioria> amazoniantoad, yep
[20:43] <amazoniantoad> neat
[20:44] <amazoniantoad> oula, https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/evalcenter?p=free-esxi6 download this and then go download vmware workstation for your ubuntu desktop
[20:44] <amazoniantoad> then you can manager the vm's
[20:44] <ikonia> oula: ignore amazoniantoad toad
[20:44] <bet0x> No need for VMware
[20:44] <ikonia> amazoniantoad: last warning
[20:44] <bet0x> There is Virtualbox
[20:44] <amazoniantoad> ikonia, what?! I'm helping him! he is trying to start a hypervisor
[20:45] <bet0x> KVM, Qemu
[20:45] <ikonia> amazoniantoad: read what he's doing
[20:45] <bet0x> A lot of free open source
[20:45] <bet0x> wich work better
[20:45] <bet0x> Also, there is lxc
[20:45] <amazoniantoad> oh
[20:46] <amazoniantoad> oula, you should still do it my way...but w.e
[20:46] <amazoniantoad> I didn't do nuthin!
[20:46] <amazoniantoad> I'll shut up
[20:46] <amazoniantoad> geeze
[20:46] <ikonia> amazoniantoad: please do
[20:46] <amazoniantoad> ikonia, rude
[20:49] <oula> ikonia , the ISO is stored in the location but it does not appear in the virtual machine manager
[20:49] <ikonia> oula: hit refresh
[20:50] <endev15> pbx, sorry had to go afk unexpectedly. Thanks for your help! My friend and I will try that tonight.
[20:50] <oula> ikonia , i refreshed and restarted everything but nothing changed
[20:51] <ikonia> oula: so then you need to look at the permissions
[20:51] <mistralol> where can i get a ubuntu 32bit efi boot image from?
[20:51] <leftist> afternoon. quick question. where do i change so that i can move from one workspace a window to another? i cant remember.
[20:51] <lerner> sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-4.2.0-23-generic linux-image-4.2.0-24-generic linux-image-4.2.0-25-generic << I executed that, but on /usr/src there are still directories with those names and their contencts intact
[20:51] <ikonia> oula: basically, if it's not displaying it's either the wrong location, or it can't read that location
[20:52] <oula> ikonia , i think it is connection problems but i dont know what is wrong
[20:52] <ikonia> oula: if it's a connection problem you'd get a connection error when you tried to talk to the hypervisor
[20:53] <dreadkopp> mistralol: you dont... either fix it manually or have a look at fedlet
[20:55] <mistralol> dreadkopp: this is for a 32bit only bios
[20:55] <mistralol> dreadkopp: i dont care if i use a 32bit or 64bit image
[20:57] <amazoniantoad> oula, can you send a screen shot of what you're looking at?
[20:57] <dreadkopp> fedlet is the only distribution with uefi x86 support by default. or you add bootia32.efi to x86 ubuntu and start from grub commandline. x86 ubuntu installs 32bit grub
[20:57] <amazoniantoad> by the way, let me just say how much i LOVE cURL
[20:58] <amazoniantoad> holy god is it cool
[20:58] <ikonia> amazoniantoad: stop
[20:58] <ikonia> amazoniantoad: focus on the topic and please be quiet
[20:58] <amazoniantoad> ikonia, i can't do both...
[20:58] <oula> ikonia , the connection goes ok but when starting to create the virtual machine i have a warning that tells me "kvm is not available ,this may mean kvm pakages is not installed , or the kvm kernal modules are not loaded . your virtual machine may perform poorly ." ... but i already installed kvm
[20:58] <ikonia> oula: ok, so this is useful
[20:58] <ikonia> oula: do an "lsmod | grep kvm"
[20:59] <mistralol> dreadkopp: so basically i could trick it byhaving 2 usb pens. One iwth bootia32.efi and one with the ubuntu image?
[20:59] <oula> ikonia , in the server or desktop ?
[20:59] <ikonia> oula: ahhh, so this is not local to one machine
[21:00] <dreadkopp> extract the ubuntu efi to formated stick, then mkdir /EFI/boot and copy bootia32.efi there
[21:00] <C_minus> 14.04LTS I'm having problems with my launcher not being "always on top" when windows occlude it (i set it to auto-hide).
[21:00] <mistralol> dreadkopp: does it need to be formatted to anything specific?
[21:00] <Pici> ll MonkeyDust 5
[21:00] <oula> ikonia , i am using the virtual machine manager in the desktop to create virtual machine in the server
[21:00] <Pici> !find polipo
[21:00] <dreadkopp> ext3 or fat32 would be preferable i guess :P
[21:03] <mistralol> dreadkopp: ok i will try that thanks
[21:03] <ikonia> oula: ok - on the server, is the kvm kernel modules loaded ?
[21:04] <MonkeyDust> Pici  ?
[21:04] <dreadkopp> good luck.. tried the same for the last days but the craplet lost the usb media during boot.. i guess due to insufficient power supply on the usb port. waiting for active hub
[21:04] <Pici> MonkeyDust: sorry, was checking up on that ubottu error, I missed a slash.
[21:04] <oula> ikonia , how to check ?
[21:04] <ikonia> oula: lsmod | grep kvm
[21:04] <ikonia> oula: without being rude, I'm getting the impression this maybe starting a little too advanced
[21:05] <ikonia> oula: is there a reason you need a virtual machine at the moment ?
[21:06] <oula> ikonia , i am a masters student and i am working on my project which requires creating virtual machines .. it is about "virtualized network management system"
[21:07] <ikonia> oula: I see,
[21:07] <ikonia> oula: it may do you well to take a smaller step back and try to start to grasp the basics of the system before trying to do more advanced topics such as remote machine vm managment
[21:08] <ikonia> oula: but in the short term, see if kvm is loaded on the server, check the connection method you are using (normally libvirt over ssh)
[21:09] <LucidaHorsus> Hi. Does anyone have a link to that basic "Linux Hardening Guide" that was around some months ago? I can't find it.
[21:09] <ikonia> LucidaHorsus: its really something you need to think about and address with your specific system/setup
[21:10] <LucidaHorsus> ikonia: I might need more coffee, because I have no idea what that even means. :P
[21:10] <MonkeyDust> LucidaHorsus  there's this http://hardenubuntu.com/
[21:10] <crypface> uhm
[21:10] <LucidaHorsus> ikonia: It was just some general tips with good explanations. Not like securing your box from the NSA.
[21:10] <crypface> do you guys think theres enough people in this channel
[21:11] <crypface> we should probs get some more
[21:11] <teward> !offtopic | crypface
[21:11] <LucidaHorsus> MonkeyDust: I'll take a look!
[21:11] <ikonia> LucidaHorsus: following a guide is not going to be a way to lock your machine down - following a guide is more likley to open up holes
[21:11] <LucidaHorsus> ikonia: Who said anything about following a guide? :)
[21:11] <LucidaHorsus> MonkeyDust: Thanks, dude. Looks helpful.
[21:11] <ismaris> LucidaHorsus: I would recommend looking into fail2ban as a first precaution for denying brute force login attempts (Assuming this server runs publicly available SSH)
[21:12] <ikonia> LucidaHorsus: well based on the fact that you think the NSA is on your machine, and you're looking for generic tips rather than address your personal machine, suggested you wanted a guide, but just carry on then
[21:12] <LucidaHorsus> ismaris: Writing it down. Thanks, man.
[21:12] <regim> hello everyone! I'm having a bit of trouble sending mail with postfix, is this the place to ask?
[21:12] <LucidaHorsus> ikonia: What on earth are you on about? HAHA!
[21:12] <LucidaHorsus> I never said anything like that.
[21:12] <ismaris> LucidaHorsus: No problem.  What does this server do?
[21:13] <ikonia> LucidaHorsus: I must have missread then, sorry
[21:13] <LucidaHorsus> ikonia: Yeah, man. I'm not a total nutjob. ;)
[21:13] <LucidaHorsus> ismaris: It's just sitting in my basement for learning purposes.
[21:14] <regim> other mail servers won't accept my mail, they quote the following:  550-Sender has no A, AAAA, or MX DNS records.
[21:14] <ismaris> LucidaHorsus: Ok.  So install fail2ban, and then learn all about iptables/netfilter.  As you add services, only open them to the local IP subnet first, if possible.  If you implement fail2ban and a good set of local firewall rules via netfilter, that's a big part of "general hardening".
[21:14] <ikonia> regim: you don't have the correct dns entries and reverse dns entries so they are rightly rejecting you as non-RFC complient
[21:14] <ikonia> regim: you should be relaying out of your ISP's mail relay
[21:15] <regim> ikonia, I have a domain name on namecheap, don't they manage my records
[21:15] <regim> ?
[21:15] <LucidaHorsus> ismaris: Awesome. Writing (or typing) everything down in a text document. :)
[21:15] <ikonia> regim: no
[21:15] <ikonia> regim: you should be relaying out of your ISP/hosting providers mail relay
[21:15] <ikonia> not putting another mail server on the web
[21:16] <amazoniantoad> ikonia, can I become a mod?
[21:16] <amazoniantoad> I will rule with an iron fist.
[21:16] <ikonia> amazoniantoad: no
[21:16] <amazoniantoad> okay
[21:17] <regim> ikonia, so how can I go arounf doing that? Namecheap has a mail forwarding service
[21:17] <regim> ikonia, but I suppose it's not that
[21:17] <ikonia> regim: contact your hosting provider and ask them for their relay server's info and how to relay out of it
[21:17] <LucidaHorsus> ikonia: MonkeyDust: ismaris: Time to vanish. Help was good. Bye!
[21:17] <regim> ikonia, ok I'll try that, thanks
[21:18] <tambu> it's been awhile but does GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" in /etc/default/grub not work to disable GUI on bootup anywmore?
[21:18] <boxmein> has anyone here got experience with installing office apps onto wine?
[21:19] <Pici> boxmein: the folks in #winehq would be good to speak to
[21:19] <boxmein> Pici: alrightyo
[21:30] <andybrine> Hey Everyone
[21:30] <andybrine> Im having lots of trouble with Firefox as a browser
[21:31] <andybrine> does anyone know an easy way to debug is and find out whats wrong?
[21:31] <teward> andybrine: 'lots of trouble' is vague
[21:31] <teward> andybrine: depending on the kind of trouble you're seeing we may be able to point you somewhere
[21:31] <andybrine> yea, I understand that teward thats why I thought I would need to debug it
[21:31] <andybrine> im having trouble with websites like blab
[21:32] <andybrine> it wont even load blab tbh
[21:32] <k1l_> andybrine: what exact errors?
[21:32] <andybrine> k1l_ its just not loading
[21:32] <k1l_> andybrine: first: start with a clean profile without your plugins.
[21:32] <k1l_> andybrine: then start firefox from a terminal and see if it tells some errormessages there
[21:33] <andybrine> k1l_ ok good plan. I will logout and start in terminal
[21:33] <regim> ikonia, I do have a domain name though, can't I do anything with that? I'm asking because apparently my ISP doesn't offer mail relay
[21:33] <Fleuv> Hello, after playing my favorite game. Something really unusual happen. My laptop wasn't able to connect a network anymore. At my syslog there were a lot of lines from readahead telling me some path with the note: "ignored relative path". Now im on my phone searching the web for answers, unfortunately the things I tried didnt seem to do anything yet. Beside all this i would like to note that my network manager keeps tryin to connect my netwo
[21:34] <Seveas> Fleuv: readahead has nothing to do with network connectivity, so that's a red herring.
[21:34] <Seveas> check /var/log/syslog for messages from network-manager
[21:36] <Fleuv> Seveas: do you mean NetworkManager ?
[21:37] <andybrine> k1l_ how do you login in and out of firefox
[21:37] <andybrine> ?
[21:38] <Fleuv> :/ irc on your phone is great
[21:39] <Fleuv> Seveas: i see a warning: dhcpv4 request timed out
[21:39] <k1l_> andybrine: close firefox. then rename the .mozilla folder in your home.
[21:39] <andybrine> oh ok. Thanks
[21:40] <regim> hi, I need some help configuring my mail server, I get the following error: :  550-Sender has no A, AAAA, or MX DNS records.
[21:41] <regim> I have a domain name registered with namecheap and want to send mail with postfix
[21:46] <alien64> regim, try #postfix
[21:47] <regim> alien64, Cannot send to channel: #postfix
[21:47] <regim> ?
[21:47] <Fleuv> Seveas, did you got my reply?
[21:47] <k1l_> !register | regim
[21:48] <k1l_> regim: if the problem is still there ask in #freenode for help with the network
[21:48] <poningru> anyone know how to get acp_memhotplug.ko for trusty?
[21:48] <poningru> which package provides it
[21:49] <regim> !register | regim
[21:50] <Fleuv> Could anyone help me figure out why all of a sudden I'm unable to connect any perfectly fine functioning network?
[21:51] <Bashing-om> !info acp_memhotplug.ko trusty
[21:52] <andybrine> k1l_ thanks. just deleting the firefox folder has sorted it out. Everything is working now
[21:53] <Seveas> Fleuv: I did. dhcp timeout means that your dhcp server doesn't like you. If this is a home network, try rebooting your adsl/cable router
[21:53] <poningru> trying to figure out how to do memory hotplugging
[21:54] <Fleuv> Seveas: why am i still able to connect the router with my phone?
[21:56] <Seveas> Fleuv: I'd have to go for "no idea"
[21:56] <Fleuv> Also don't see an ip at ifconfig
[21:57] <Seveas> that's because you're not getting one
[21:57] <Seveas> dhcp is the protocol with which your router gives your computer an ip
[21:57] <Seveas> if they don't talk to each other, reboot both and see what happens :)
[21:59] <Fleuv> Well I'm not sure if it could solve the problem. I think it is a software related problem. But okay i will triy
[21:59] <Fleuv> So i probably will disconnect
[21:59] <OerHeks> poningru, and what hardware supports that?
[22:00] <jsb> hallo
[22:02] <poningru> OerHeks, vmware/kvm/xen/any modern virtualized hardware
[22:03] <poningru> why what did you have in mind?
[22:05] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[22:06] <Umeaboy> Lets say that I have found how to activate the on screen keyboard in Unity for Ubuntu 15.10, but want to change the language on it to something else.... Is that possible?
[22:07] <Viraxis_> If I am not mistaken the screen keyboard uses the same layout as defined for the regular keyboard
[22:07] <Viraxis_> could be wrong though; haven't opened it in years
[22:07] <Umeaboy> Viraxis_: OK.
[22:09] <Bashing-om> Umeaboy: Maybe, do not know but : A keyboard app indicator icon in the top panel. Click on that and select Text Entry Settings and we get the dialog to add or remove keyboard layouts.
[22:09] <Umeaboy> Thought so.
[22:10] <Umeaboy> I know that way to change it, but I didn't think they shared the same setup.
[22:15] <Bashing-om> Umeaboy: Well, unless you tell us different, I will always think so .
[22:35] <poningru>  if anyone else runs into this
[22:35] <poningru>  apparently acpi_memhotplug has gone away
[22:35] <poningru>  now the way to do it is to pipe things into the sysfs
[22:35] <poningru>  so these two should help you after you have increased the memory
[22:35] <poningru>  for f in `ls -d /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/`; do if [[ `cat $f/state` == "offline" ]];  then echo $f is "offline"; fi; done
[22:35] <poningru>  and then
[22:35] <geirha> poningru: don't use ls
[22:36] <poningru> geirha, hmm? quick and dirty script
[22:36] <poningru> what would you recommend?
[22:36] <geirha> it's shorter without ls
[22:36] <Umeaboy> How does one upload a translation to launchpad to an existing project?
[22:36] <geirha> for f in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/; do
[22:36] <poningru> no unfortunately I dont know if there would be files that match that regexp
[22:37] <poningru> would the */ catch directories only?
[22:37] <geirha> yes
[22:37] <poningru> oh interesting cool thanks for that
[22:38] <killit2> hello everyone.  Im looking to make a machine boot up and connect directly to a RDP connection via rdesktop.  Thats all well and good, but I don't want a window manager at all.  In fact, I'd like the system to treat that one application as its shell - no minimizing or exiting it.  Is there any way to get rid of the WM all together and JUST launch a xsession locally for a single app?
[22:39] <geirha> Yes, just
[22:40] <geirha> err, yes, there are various ways to go around it. One is to write an xsession that starts rdesktop instead of a DE/WM
[22:42] <irreleph4nt> Hi all. I have set up Ubuntu Server 15.10 as a domain controller. When setting up the network shares however, I can not chgrp to "Domain Admins". Any ideas?
[22:42] <welovfree> Hi
[22:43] <welovfree> How can I install .tar.bz2 files?
[22:43] <killit2> geirha - in that scenario, startx would be called and that would load rdesktop, correct?
[22:44] <geirha> welovfree: There's no single recipe. A .tar.bz2 file is just a compressed archive, like a zip file. They usually contain a README or INSTALL file with instructions though.
[22:44] <welovfree> geirha, I want to install filezilla
[22:44] <geirha> killit2: Ok, so you want to use startx instead of a DM as well?
[22:45] <geirha> killit2: It's been a while since I used startx, but you can just pass the rdesktop command to startx. Something like  startx :0 -- rdesktop -whatever -options host-or-ip
[22:46] <Bashing-om> welovfree: filezilla is in the repo, why the hard way ?
[22:46] <killit2> what I want is to press the power button, walk away, come back to rdesktop started and logged in.. I could do this with a desktop manager, but this machine is slow as all .... and I want to remove every bit I can.. I have no need for the typical desktop experice.  So idealy, it would auto login, and launch rdesktop where it would normally load a desktop
[22:47] <geirha> killit2: Then you need a getty that can auto log you in and run startx
[22:47] <welovfree> Bashing-om, I'm using an old and when trying to update it, I get no update found
[22:47] <k1l_> welovfree: what is "lsb_release -d"?
[22:47] <killit2> thats what I figured.. but I didn't know if startx was the way to go on this, or if there was a better way of starting an xsession for only a single application
[22:48] <Bashing-om> welovfree: You know the drill .. upgrade the release ??
[22:48] <welovfree> Bashing-om, I'm using 3.7 and the latest one is 3.15
[22:48] <welovfree> k1l_, I din't get it?
[22:48] <k1l_> welovfree: put that into the terminal and show the output here
[22:49] <welovfree> Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
[22:49] <k1l_> welovfree: ok, and why do you need 3.15?
[22:50] <welovfree> k1l_, the current version I'm using froze from time to time when trying to rename a file
[22:51] <geirha> filezilla 3.15 was released two days ago
[22:52] <ubuonekenobi> lo ppl.
[22:54] <bprompt> allo
[22:56] <ubuonekenobi> yes...
[22:56] <k1l_> !rootirc
[23:00] <stacks88> ive got virtualbox installed. so i saw on apt-get upgrade it said: The following packages have been kept back:  linux-image-generic linux-image-server -- so I run apt-get dist-upgrade and it installs the new kernel, but (and this always happens), it says Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.13.0-77-generic cannot be found. Please install the linux-headers-3.13.0-77-generic package. So of
[23:00] <stacks88> course I understand I can do apt-get install linux-headers-3.13.0-76 linux-headers-3.13.0-76-generic -- but my question is, how do I tell my OS (ubuntu 14.04) to ALWAYS install the linux-headers for the new kernel its going to upgrade? so that i dont have to manually install them ?
[23:01] <stacks88> or upon dist-upgrade to include the headers for the kernel its about to install/give me, instead of leaving them out
[23:05] <mojtaba> Do you know how can I change the metadata of the mp3 file?
[23:05] <mojtaba> I want to change title tag of the mp3 files to their file name (in mass)
[23:05] <utlemming> cyphermox: around? 'kpartx -av' doesn't work anymore for Xenial
[23:06] <MonkeyDust> mojtaba  with tagtool
[23:06] <MonkeyDust> mojtaba  or easytag
[23:07] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: thank, I will check it. (I prefer command line one)
[23:08] <stacks88> anyone happen to know how to instruct my ubuntu 14.04 to always install the kernel headers when i do dist-upgrade ? so that i dont have to manually type apt-get install linux-headers-3.13.0-77 linux-headers-3.13.0-77-generic after it installs the kernel ?
[23:08] <piglit> sudo ntfs-3g -o uid=1000 -o guid=1000 /dev/sdc1 /media/piglit/ntfs   gives me
[23:08] <piglit> drwxrwxrwx  1 piglit root 4096 feb  1 21:32 ntfs
[23:09] <piglit> i dont want it to be from root
[23:09] <scoob> Hi, after a recent upgrade a box that I have using encryptfs seems to dismount my unencrypted volume upon logout where it used to only happen on shutdown. Is this how it's supposed to work?
[23:09] <piglit> what do i do wrong ?
[23:10] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: I guess tagtool is for renaming the files, right?
[23:10] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: I do not want to rename files, I want to change the title tag in metadata to the filename
[23:10] <irreleph4nt> Can someone explain to me how to set up winbind to function with samba4, please?
[23:11] <MonkeyDust> mojtaba  easytag can do that
[23:11] <piglit> why cant I write to the USB hd I cant change the rights
[23:11] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: thanks, let me check that.
[23:15] <Bashing-om> piglit: You did "nothing" wrong . NTFS is not posix complient. The permissions are set on the mount switches in fstab; see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139423&page=2&p=12625060#post12625060 for a tutorial .
[23:17] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: I used eyed3.
[23:17] <mojtaba> thanks
[23:18] <cool_boy> I bought a vps, I can access it from my local but can't access from another vps, all 3 are ubuntu 14.04, any idea what would be blocking?
[23:19] <sruli> i need a script to run as soon as a vm (libvirt/kvm) shutsdown, would anyone be able to guide me as how to construct a command to lookout for the shutdown?
[23:19] <stacks88> if i install linux-headers-generic - Generic Linux kernel headers , does that mean every time i do dist-upgrade , it will install the kernel headers for the new kernel its about to give me ? Or, what is the meta package for the kernel and headers , so that every time i run dist-upgrade, it installs the new kernel, but also makes sure to give me the headers too ?
[23:20] <MonkeyDust> mojtaba  it's not in the repos, where did you find it
[23:20] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: sudo apt-get install eyed3
[23:20] <mojtaba> MonkeyDust: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4961/which-mp3-tagging-tool-for-linux
[23:20] <k1l_> stacks88: linux-generic
[23:22] <stacks88> k1l_: oh nice, i didnt seem to have that installed. So now i just installed it, for sure next time i run apt-get dist-upgrade it will install the kernel headers tooo ? Its becuase i have virtualbox installed, and every time i run dist-upgrade it is executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms during the dist-upgrade and then it tells me my kernel headers cant be found .. so if now it will auto install
[23:22] <stacks88> the headers, then thats great
[23:22] <k1l_> yes
[23:23] <piglit> Bashing-om: can you please tell me if it can be done it is late here and I am totally tired, maybe you tried it once ?
[23:23] <stacks88> k1l_: what about linux-headers-generic ? in my quest to find the answer i installed that a few mins ago .. so are you saying i dont need to install linux-headers-generic just linux-generic to have the headers installed ?
[23:24] <k1l_> stacks88: linux-generic is the top meta package. that will install headers and kernel meta packages. they will install the headers and kernels
[23:24] <stacks88> Sweet, thanks so muhc k1l_
[23:25] <Bashing-om> piglit: No, I have no NTFS files or OS . Never got my feet dirty .
