| ikonia | Zythyr: whats the issue ? | 00:11 |
| ikonia | (that whole guide looks bad) | 00:11 |
| Zythyr | modprobe: FATAL: Module usbip not found. | 00:11 |
| ikonia | where is the module coming from | 00:11 |
| ikonia | ok - so the module doesn't exist | 00:11 |
| Zythyr | when i do usbipd -D, I get error: usbipd: error: please load usbip-core.ko and usbip-host.ko! | 00:12 |
| Zythyr | sorry thats that wrong error | 00:12 |
| ikonia | right, and then you try to modprobe it, I see that | 00:12 |
| Zythyr | I get error usbip_common_mod.ko and usbkip.ko must be loaded | 00:13 |
| ikonia | ok, so modprobe them | 00:13 |
| Zythyr | I can't | 00:13 |
| Zythyr | because it says usbip module doens't exisist | 00:13 |
| ikonia | why ? | 00:13 |

| easyOnMe | k1l: I got this reply from a support staff in Digital Ocean: The repos for Utopic have been deprecated and are no longer available. Another note, we highly recommend migrating to a new droplet instead of performing the distribution upgrade within the droplet. The reason for this is the newer images use self-managed kernels instead of the externally managed kernels. So if you have a 14.10 droplet upgraded to 15.x you will most likely see issues with kernel | 00:54 |
| easyOnMe | mismatches. | 00:54 |
| easyOnMe | k1l: my question is what is the difference with those self - managed kernels and externally managed kernels | 00:55 |
| k1l | ask the digitalocean support about their specifics | 00:56 |

| davido_ | Is the speed reported by Network Manager | Connection Information | Active Network Connections accurate? I'm seeing 6Mb/s (megabits) reported in that window. But I've got a file transfer going at 2.8 MB/s (megabytes), and the router is reporting a pretty high link rate. | 02:55 |
| frustr8d_apu_blu | Im not able to have working installation of gnome ubuntu 15.10 though everythings fine on the Live-mode. After reboot, the screen errors, staying gray until reset power, or simply doesnt load.

| === Tronsha is now known as [UPA]Stefan | ||

| oskie | I've had two servers with "black screen" after boot last two days. Both had latest kernel 3.13.0-77. Coincidence? | 07:11 |
| lotuspsychje | oskie: did you try booting previous kernel? | 07:14 |
| oskie | lotuspsychje: yeah, it fixed it (in both cases) | 07:15 |
| lotuspsychje | oskie: you might wanna file a bug | 07:16 |
| oskie | it seems some servers survive the reboot to the -77 kernel, so it must be something specific to these... | 07:16 |
| OneM_Industries | How would I take the output of a command and add it to a file? | 07:32 |
| OneM_Industries | I have tried cat (command) > test.txt, but that just created a blank file. | 07:32 |
| Triffid_Hunter | OneM_Industries: command >> file. > is truncate and write, >> is append | 07:33 |
| OneM_Industries | Oooh, ok. Thank you! | 07:33 |
| OneM_Industries | Bingo! | 07:34 |
| OneM_Industries | Thank you, now I can actually read the output of smartctl! | 07:34 |
| Triffid_Hunter | OneM_Industries: why not just smartctl | less? | 07:34 |
| Triffid_Hunter | no need to put it in a file just to have it paginated | 07:35 |

| davido_ | I wonder if anyone else here has tried an Asus MB169B+ (15.1" USB3.0 DisplayLink portable monitor) | 07:38 |
| OneM_Industries | Heh, thank you. Now to figure out how to get screen to take up the entire command terminal window. | 07:38 |
| davido_ | I've got one and mostly like it. | 07:38 |
| Triffid_Hunter | OneM_Industries: ctrl+a, shift+F | 07:38 |
| OneM_Industries | Triffid_Hunter: That is very true. | 07:38 |
| OneM_Industries | Nope, still just the upper lefthand corner of the screen. | 07:39 |
| davido_ | there are a few quirks. Probably the most annoying is that if my dual DVI monitors go into sleep mode, the mouse cursor will spawn a zombie. | 07:40 |
| davido_ | but as soon as I detach the USB3 monitor that zombie pointer goes away. | 07:40 |
| davido_ | But aside from that it's a nice little monitor. | 07:41 |
| davido_ | great for laptop use. | 07:41 |
| Triffid_Hunter | OneM_Industries: hm, works for me | 07:41 |
| OneM_Industries | Odd. | 07:41 |
| OneM_Industries | Ah drat, the attack of the gibberish is back. | 07:41 |
| OneM_Industries | Time to reboot the server I guess. | 07:42 |
| Triffid_Hunter | OneM_Industries: although my screen sessions auto-resize unless they have multiple clients attached.. maybe something else is going on | 07:42 |
| davido_ | Lol, for a moment I thought OneM was directing that comment at me. | 07:42 |
| Triffid_Hunter | OneM_Industries: gibberish? if your terminal gets messed up from you catting binary files or something, just type reset<enter>. read manpage first if you're (rightly) nervous about such a command ;) | 07:43 |
| OneM_Industries | I dunno. This server is a bit wibbly, but I guess that comes with being a repurposed desktop. | 07:43 |
| OneM_Industries | No, it happens whenever I exit and reenter screen. | 07:43 |
| OneM_Industries | I get a ton of this: "m�e)�N�;��y�=���'�c���9�����%�1�m�m����ko��m�e)�N�;���=�������9���� | 07:44 |
| OneM_Industries | " | 07:44 |
| davido_ | Oh, that's just Perl. | 07:44 |
| OneM_Industries | Oh, hey. Turning the server off and on again and restarting screen fixed the resolution issue. | 07:45 |

| emitattuo | I'm seemingly having trouble with my DNS settings on 15.10/wily x64 desktop. I've isolated the problem to the specific computer (the network connection is fine on other computers on the same network) I can ping IP addresses directly, but attempting to do the same with a domain name results in: ping: unknown host. Similar results appear regardless of program used. | 07:54 |
| emitattuo | I've attempted to change the DNS settings to either the ISP's DNS or public DNS servers using the Network Connections editor (nm-connection-editor) and then restarting the computer but domain names remain unresolvable. Thanks for any suggestions on what to try next. | 07:54 |
| Ben64 | emitattuo: try "nslookup google.com" | 07:58 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, It times out; "no servers can be reached". | 07:59 |
| Ben64 | emitattuo: try "nslookup google.com 8.8.8.8" | 07:59 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, that returns a non-authoritative answer with Google's IP. | 08:00 |
| Ben64 | well thats good, you just need to set some working dns servers then | 08:00 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, How would I go about doing that? I've tried the network connection editor, seemingly to no avail. | 08:02 |
| Ben64 | emitattuo: what did you put in there for dns server | 08:03 |
| === mathisen is now known as Mathisen | ||
| emitattuo | Ben64, I've tried 8.8.8.8, Comodo's, and a couple others. I just tried nslookup with the ones in there now and it returned the same result as 8.8.8.8. | 08:05 |
| Ben64 | emitattuo: so that means (to me) that you're not using the connection you configured there | 08:07 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, whatever is handling my network connections is disregarding the information I put in the GUI, either because it's not properly being saved or it's being overwritten by something else. | 08:09 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, right? | 08:09 |
| Ben64 | emitattuo: can't really tell, maybe you're editing the wrong connection? | 08:10 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, I don't appear to be. | 08:10 |
| Ben64 | when you click on the nm icon, does it show the connection you edited as being connected? | 08:11 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, I forgot to add that this occurs regardless of interface - wired or wireless gives the same DNS issue. Yes, it does show it as connected. | 08:11 |

| slappymcfry | user_____: Add radeon to Modules="" in mkinitcpio.conf and rerun mkinitcpio. This will enable early KMS | 08:17 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, in the system Network Settings manager GUI the field for DNS Servers is empty. Is that to be expected? | 08:20 |

| emitattuo | Ben64, the contents of it are only "# Generated by NetworkManager" | 08:22 |
| Ben64 | are you actually running ubuntu? | 08:23 |

| Ben64 | like real actually called ubuntu, not mint, not johnbuntu, not debian, arch, redhat, suse | 08:24 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, As far as I remember, I installed standard Ubuntu. I did do some customization to the DE, but I believe the base is still stock Ubuntu. | 08:26 |
| Ben64 | well /etc/resolv.conf is supposed to be a symlink to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf | 08:27 |
| Ben64 | something you did changed that, so i'm not sure what that was or what to suggest for you | 08:27 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, I do see that /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf exists and inside it under the comments is namesetver 127.0.0.1. | 08:28 |
| namin | من منكم يتكلم العربي | 08:29 |
| Ben64 | you can try "sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf; sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf" | 08:29 |
| Ben64 | no guarantees | 08:29 |
| emitattuo | Ben64, thanks. I'll give it a try. | 08:32 |

| slappymcfry | CoolGamrSms: do you have additional network interfaces on the machine? | 08:58 |
| CoolGamrSms | just eth0 and tun0 which is being created by openvpn | 08:59 |
| CoolGamrSms | I think the problem is the ssh traffic is going through tun0 and I don't know how to change it :p | 08:59 |
| slappymcfry | CoolGamrSms: It's a bit out of my league, I think the term you're looking for is "split tunnelling". | 09:03 |
| bramgn | CoolGamrSms: all your traffic is being routed through the tunnel? | 09:05 |
| bramgn | CoolGamrSms: you could have a look at the output of 'ip r s' which will show you the routing table | 09:06 |

| bramgn | CoolGamrSms: in any case, you could add a static route using 'ip r add' and have the endpoint routed through the eth* interface, rather than the VPN interface | 09:08 |
| CoolGamrSms | hmm. are the entries in the routing table ordered by anything in particular? | 09:10 |

| slappymcfry | wardenclyffe: There is a utility called caffiene | 09:38 |
| k1l_ | wardenclyffe: the player should do that automatically. i guess you are using flash? | 09:39 |
| StatelessCat | hey | 09:39 |
| StatelessCat | on a Xubuntu 15.04, i have unfortunatly done a 'apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop^'. How i can revert this and remove all installed packages and get back ? | 09:40 |
| wardenclyffe | i am using flash, mostly (though sometimes other players) | 09:40 |
| blabla | StatelessCat: get the list of packages from /var/log/apt/history.log and unless them | 09:40 |
| hateball | StatelessCat: 15.04 is EOL, move to 15.10. As for removing.. ^ | 09:40 |
| wardenclyffe | shouldn't that be a feature for everyone? who doesn't watch a video from time to time? | 09:41 |
| wardenclyffe | also, that extension is global - meaning if i stop watching something, the standby will not work, unless i actively disable the extension. | 09:42 |
| k1l_ | wardenclyffe: as i said. a proper player does this, like totem, vlc, ..... but the flash webplayers cant do that | 09:42 |
| === s1aden is now known as sladen | ||
| wardenclyffe | k1l_: yea. I think on windows flash player does do that.. | 09:43 |
| StatelessCat | blabla | StatelessCat: get the list of packages from /var/log/apt/history.log and unless them --> is it save to apt-get remove all of them ? | 09:44 |
| k1l_ | wardenclyffe: and honestly: flash is a that big mess of a security issue you dont want that to have rights to do anything on your system. | 09:44 |
| slappymcfry | wardenclyffe: https://xkcd.com/619/ Honestly, just remove flash. It's not worth the trouble. | 09:45 |
| Triffid_Hunter | wardenclyffe: all the good video sites use html5 video these days, don't need flash for that | 09:45 |
| wardenclyffe | k1l_: yea, but when i disable it I get some JWPlayer in several places - I don't know how to turn that off since it is not in the FF plugins. | 09:45 |
| slappymcfry | wardenclyffe: JWPlayer is an html5 player. | 09:46 |
| Triffid_Hunter | wardenclyffe: jwplayer is a html5 wrapper, not a plugin | 09:46 |
| blabla | StatelessCat: i guess so, does it mention only what it added or everything? | 09:46 |
| k1l_ | wardenclyffe: so you can only temporarily disable the screen shutdown | 09:46 |
| wardenclyffe | Triffld_Hunter: so that means it is just regular HTML5 and is safe? | 09:46 |
| slappymcfry | wardenclyffe: much, much, much safer than flash. | 09:47 |
| wardenclyffe | unfortunately i need flash for some work/study videos. | 09:47 |
| Triffid_Hunter | wardenclyffe: it's as safe as your browser's sandbox, most of which are pretty watertight these days | 09:48 |
| Triffid_Hunter | wardenclyffe: you can often get the raw mp4 if you view source or inspect the DOM tree with firebug or similar | 09:48 |
| Triffid_Hunter | I have a shell script that strips the url for raw video from sites like youtube, it's pretty handy | 09:48 |
| wardenclyffe | okay, so another question is this: when i cancelled flash i got the html5 option by default. but when i set flash to "ask me" then i don't get the html5 option at all. | 09:49 |
| wardenclyffe | raw mp4 would be best | 09:50 |
| Triffid_Hunter | wardenclyffe: sounds like a great time to have multiple browsers, one with flash plugin disabled that you use for regular browsing, and another with it enabled specifically for whatever sites you're using that haven't realised that flash is dead yet | 09:51 |
| wardenclyffe | sound excellent, maybe i should give chrome a chance anyway, just for this :) also heard their flash is better or something.. | 09:52 |

| k1l_ | depends on the release you are using | 10:30 |
| cfhowlett | wardenclyffe, I generally don't stream video. the firefox plugin "video download helper" grabs video from most sites for viewing on demand | 10:30 |

| StatelessCat | here is my logs of what i have installed with ' apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ ' : http://ix.io/oju , when doing ' apt-get --simulate remove ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ ' this is just removing too many packages :/ | 10:43 |
| StatelessCat | is it safe to juste remove the list of installed packages ? | 10:43 |
| cfhowlett | stateless what is your goal?? | 10:44 |
| Zulu_Too | Hey Guys have you tried this for a gag. apt-get moo <------------------------< | 10:44 |
| cfhowlett | Zulu_Too, stop. | 10:44 |
| StatelessCat | or cfhowlett my goal is to "undo" a ' apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ ' on my xubuntu 15.04 :/ | 10:44 |
| Zulu_Too | Stop what? | 10:44 |
| StatelessCat | cfhowlett: i don't know how to do it without breaking everything | 10:44 |
| bazhang | Zulu_Too, take the chit chat elsewhere | 10:45 |
| cfhowlett | StatelessCat, got it. sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-gnome-desktop && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 10:45 |
| razor_ | would anyone mind assisting me i want to uninstall megasync and i didnt install it through the software center | 10:45 |
| Zulu_Too | It is an Ubuntu Easter Egg. | 10:45 |
| cfhowlett | Zulu_Too, didn't ask. don't care. it's off-topic in this channel. thank you. | 10:45 |
| slappymcfry | Gibbs`Taf: what is the adapter. your rfkill mentions asus, but what is the chipset? is it integrated with your wifi? | 10:45 |
| bazhang | how was it installed razor_ | 10:45 |
| Zulu_Too | I didn't know that you were elevating yourselves above others. I must be in the wrong channel then. | 10:46 |
| StatelessCat | cfhowlett: do you take in consideration that I have stupidly do ' apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ ' and NOT ' apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop ' (note the ^ at last) ? :/ sorry for beaing a noob with apt :/ | 10:46 |
| razor_ | not sure exactly i cant remember whether i installed it with apt-get or through their website | 10:46 |
| bazhang | razor_, look for their removal/uninstall guide | 10:47 |
| Gibbs`Taf | slappymcfry, -> It's a Mediatec MT7630e, it's integrated with wifi | 10:47 |
| Gibbs`Taf | Mediatek* | 10:47 |
| cfhowlett | StatelessCat, ahhh. (resists the urge to ask why). so >>> sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 10:47 |
| razor_ | okay thanks and is there a chat channel for writing code and challenges and such? | 10:47 |
| bazhang | ##programming perhaps razor_ | 10:48 |
| StatelessCat | cfhowlett: i'm afraid that the semantic of the ^ after ubuntu-gnome-desktop is different between apt-get install and apt-get remove or purge :/ | 10:48 |
| razor_ | thanks bazhang | 10:48 |
| bazhang | np | 10:48 |
| razor_ | #programming | 10:48 |
| cfhowlett | StatelessCat, worst case, you render yourself unbootable. that is why you have already backed up everything and have an ubuntu boot USB nearby. should this go sideways, boot the USB, chroot to your system and sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop | 10:49 |
| StatelessCat | cfhowlett: ok, when doing ' apt-get --simulate purge ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ ' i got http://ix.io/ojy and the shell does not returning... is it a normal behavior ? | 10:50 |
| slappymcfry | Gibbs`Taf: https://github.com/neurobin/MT7630E DON'T do the chmod & install stuff. FIRST try the last command (dkms) | 10:50 |
| StatelessCat | cfhowlett: i'm worried about apt-get will do some installs when doing ' apt-get purge ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ ' , do you think it's ok ? | 10:51 |
| StatelessCat | cfhowlett: ok I will back myself with an USB key | 10:52 |
| Gibbs`Taf | slappymcfry, -> done | 10:52 |
| cfhowlett | StatelessCat, do remove instead of purge. you'll still have to autoremove to clean things up | 10:52 |
| slappymcfry | Gibbs`Taf: now `lsmod | grep mt76x0` | 10:53 |
| StatelessCat | cfhowlett: the remove seems just crazy (8MB of output) :/ | 10:53 |
| StatelessCat | ' apt-get --simulate remove ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ ' * | 10:53 |
| StatelessCat | he is removing xserver-xorg-video stuff :/ | 10:54 |
| Gibbs`Taf | slappymcfry, -> nop | 10:54 |
| cfhowlett | as I understand it, so long as you have the terminal open from the removal/purge, you can immediately chain the installation thus && sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop | 10:55 |
| cfhowlett | we had a similar question last night IIRC | 10:55 |
| slappymcfry | Gibbs`Taf: then `modprobe mt76x0` I don't know if .bin' | 10:55 |
| slappymcfry | ...is needed. | 10:56 |
| StatelessCat | cfhowlett: ok thakns a lot for your time | 10:56 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! StatelessCat | 10:56 |
| StatelessCat | cfhowlett: really sorry, I will be MORE carefull while installing/removing stuff (using --simulate everytime) | 10:57 |
| Gibbs`Taf | slappymcfry, -> 2 proposition for mt76 : mt7601u or mt76xx | 10:57 |
| StatelessCat | so the 15.04 is end of life, no more security fixes ? | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | StatelessCat, I understand :) 15.04 is DEAD, Jim! | 10:57 |
| StatelessCat | i'll ask my IT team to install a more recent one or 14.04LTS | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | LTS for the win! comfort them with this: next LTS comes out in April | 10:58 |
| slappymcfry | Gibbs`Taf: try the xx. If unsure, just reboot. | 10:58 |

| NYTimes | k1l_: the whole os | 13:36 |
| NYTimes | full install | 13:36 |
| k1l_ | NYTimes: ok. installing a OS onto a ARM tablet is not like putting a CD into a PC and having all working. you need to grab drivers, make it bootable, etc etc. and then you have a non-touch desktop running on a touch only hardware. | 13:37 |
| k1l_ | NYTimes: tl;dr look at xda forums if there is a working port and what are the experiences with that. | 13:38 |

| MonkeyDust | noneya what ubuntu vesion? what windows version? did it work before? more details... | 13:45 |
| cfhowlett | tfisher, do this: cat /etc/issue | nc termbin.com 9999 | 13:45 |
| MonkeyDust | tfisher try sudo apt install | 13:45 |
| schang_ | I just did a do-release-upgrade -d and now I am stuck with errors like "this depends on that however...." | 13:46 |
| schang_ | I ahve tried a series of dpkg-reconfigure and apt-get -f install but that did not help | 13:46 |
| k1l_ | schang_: you know what the "-d" is for? | 13:46 |
| MonkeyDust | schang_ -d means development ... what are you tryiong to do? | 13:46 |
| noneya | Sorry, I gotta run. I'll try to come back later and figure this out. Thanks | 13:46 |
| schang_ | well initially I was on ubuntu 14.something and tried do-release-upgrade | 13:47 |
| schang_ | that didnt work | 13:47 |
| cfhowlett | schang_, you upgrade ... to an *alpha* release. don't know why, but support for that is only in #ubuntu+1 | 13:47 |
| MonkeyDust | schang_ 14.04 or 14.10 ? 14.10 is dead | 13:47 |
| cfhowlett | and thank you for volunteering to beta test! | 13:47 |
| schang_ | it said there was no available upgrade... after googling and trying probably a little too fast what I found (using -d) | 13:47 |
| k1l_ | schang_: you rae running a wrong command. that might have messed your whole system. | 13:47 |
| schang_ | k1l_ and guess there si no going back, right ? | 13:48 |
| gagalicious | for partman, d-i settings, how do i specify inode settings for the drives to be formatted? is this a valid question here? i'm asking about the preseed.cfg but cant find an example online | 13:48 |
| k1l_ | schang_: 14.10 is dead since july last year. so you are late for the regular upgrade. you would have needed an !EOL upgrade. | 13:48 |
| cfhowlett | schang_, no roll back. reinstall 14.04.3 or 15.10 | 13:48 |
| k1l_ | schang_: what is "lsb_release -d" now? | 13:48 |
| schang_ | k1l_ Description:Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | k1l_, that would be 16.04 | 13:49 |
| MonkeyDust | schang_ 16.04 is not ready | 13:49 |
| k1l_ | schang_: ok, your system is now on 16.04 which is in alpha state. i dont think there is an easy fix. | 13:49 |
| schang_ | still does that mean (because it is a develomment branch) that it should no work at all ? | 13:50 |
| cfhowlett | schang_, it's still being built. | 13:50 |
| BluesKaj | schang_, 16.04 support in #ubuntu+1 | 13:50 |
| k1l_ | schang_: you jumped over the 15.04 and 15.10 installs on the upgrade. that had some deep changes like introducing systemd etc. | 13:50 |
| schang_ | cfhowlett: right but there has got to be people using it and those are probably not stuck the way I am | 13:50 |

| cfhowlett | schang_, alpha release. not even a beta release. you are trying to drive across country and we're still installing the tires and electrical system | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | lots of 15.10 users and they're dealing with systemd quite successfully | 13:51 |
| BluesKaj | cfhowlett, i disagree withtat analogy :-) more like no gps or roadmaps only some directions | 13:53 |
| schang_ | alright: so I have no choice but to reinstall, right ? can I just no try to grab the stuff (i.e., this depends on that however...) it is requesting from other repositories | 13:53 |
| cfhowlett | schang_, if you accept that you are using a PRE-release product and adjust your expectations, go for it. otherwise, 14.04 or 15.10 are our only choices. | 13:53 |

| hateball | nitesh`: why are you using random deb files instead of downloading from the package manager | 14:12 |
| cfhowlett | nitesh`, installing by deb is to be avoided. install via software center or package manager | 14:12 |
| OerHeks | nitesh`, normally when you encounter dependencie issues, apt-get install -f would solve these in a 2nd run | 14:12 |

| nitesh` | cfhowlett, : No GUI so no software center.. | 14:13 |

| MackDoms | Hey.. Bad new.. My ubuntu won't boot (system partition on dev/sda) .. My windows will boot (/dev/sdb located) and I can't read my D: in windows which is located on dev/sda.. I did a partition resize today on /dev/sda with gparted from live-dvd.. Is there anyway to save repair my hard disk? | 14:28 |
| ikonia | MackDoms: so that makes no sense | 14:28 |
| MackDoms | ikonia, how so? | 14:29 |
| ikonia | how can your windows D:\ be the same disk as your linux root | 14:29 |
| ikonia | unless you are missing partition information in the description | 14:29 |
| MackDoms | sda1 is my ntfs | 14:29 |
| dragonbite | so you used gparted to resize disk #1 which has Linux and D:? | 14:29 |
| MackDoms | sda3 is my ubuntu system | 14:29 |
| MackDoms | yes sdb is my SSD disk | 14:29 |
| MackDoms | sda is a 1TB hard disk | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | MackDoms, BIOS or UEFI ? | 14:30 |
| ikonia | MackDoms: so what happens when you boot ? | 14:30 |
| MackDoms | UEFI | 14:30 |
| ikonia | (linux) | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | !UEFI | 14:31 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 14:31 |
| dragonbite | interesting partition scheme... I guess | 14:31 |
| MackDoms | Last time I tried to boot ikonia it just gave purple screen (still from bootloader I guess) | 14:31 |
| dragonbite | so disk #1 (sda) is not accessible anymore and the ony thing you chagned was resizing the disk | 14:31 |
| ikonia | I don't think the purple screen is a boot loader | 14:31 |
| MackDoms | The time before it said something about can't load /boot/efi | 14:31 |
| xubuntu01w | Can someone help me mount a NTFS from an old windows machine | 14:31 |
| ikonia | sounds like your disks partitions are all over the place | 14:32 |
| dragonbite | where is grub (sdb?) | 14:32 |
| MackDoms | Is there a tool to check and repair the hard disk? | 14:32 |
| MackDoms | I'd assume grub is on sdb since there is my ESP | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | MackDoms, your grub isn't installed to the uefi partition most likely | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | boot partition | 14:33 |
| * BluesKaj despises the uefi | 14:33 | |
| MackDoms | What should I do? | 14:33 |
| dragonbite | you could try booting up to a live USB and see if you can access sda | 14:34 |
| dragonbite | it could be gparted messed up your partition tables | 14:34 |
| MackDoms | It sure looks like it | 14:34 |
| dragonbite | and that is not good (not the end of the world, but not good for sleeping at night) ;) | 14:34 |
| MackDoms | Since "Minitool partition wizard" in windows still detects the 3 partitions on the hard disk | 14:34 |
| MackDoms | So what should I do when I can or can't access from live dvd? | 14:35 |
| robb_nl | MackDoms, I'd make a priority of creating a backup of all the data using a live cd.... | 14:35 |
| dragonbite | I just am not sure how to access the data on a bad-partitioned hard drive for taking the disk off and rebuilding the drive but I am sure there is a way | 14:35 |
| django_ | hey all | 14:35 |
| django_ | i downloaded ubuntu on this laptop like 2 years ago how do i go about updating it | 14:36 |
| MackDoms | robb_nl, ok if i can access it from the live dvd | 14:36 |
| hateball | django_: What version are you running? | 14:36 |
| cfhowlett | django_, first: open a terminal | 14:36 |
| cfhowlett | cat /etc/issue | 14:36 |
| Nalaurien | dragonbite> the usual practice is to clone the drive byte per byte, get the drive fixed, or throw it out then do forensics | 14:36 |
| django_ | ubuntu `1.04 | 14:37 |
| django_ | 12.04 ** | 14:37 |
| MackDoms | There isn't a tool that can analyse and repair the partion table? | 14:37 |
| dragonbite | I wish | 14:37 |
| cfhowlett | django_, still supported. first do sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 14:37 |
| cfhowlett | django_, after that sudo do-release-upgrade | 14:38 |
| django_ | ok so my main issue is that i have a dual graphics card with this laptop | 14:38 |
| Nalaurien | there are a few programs and tools out there for forensics, but on a bad drive you risk having it brick while you do stuff | 14:38 |
| django_ | so it over heats :/ | 14:38 |
| django_ | maybe i can remove the graphics card? | 14:38 |
| Nalaurien | though it depends on wether or not its a hardware or info problem | 14:38 |
| MackDoms | Nalaurien, is there a way I can discover the issue exactly? | 14:39 |
| Nalaurien | What is it youre experiencing | 14:39 |
| xubuntu01w | I have a NTFS drive that came from a dead Windows 7 machine, I am trying to mount, The drive is flagged as unsafe state. | 14:39 |
| Nalaurien | trying to mount to linux? | 14:39 |
| django_ | its sudo apt-get full upgrade right? | 14:40 |
| xubuntu01w | Yea | 14:40 |
| cfhowlett | django_, that's the other method. apt is replacing apt-get | 14:40 |
| django_ | it says apt not found | 14:40 |
| Nalaurien | do you have the exact output? | 14:40 |
| django_ | sudo apt full upgrade | 14:41 |
| django_ | sudo: apt: command not found | 14:41 |
| cfhowlett | django_, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 14:41 |
| hateball | cfhowlett: apt isnt available in 12.04 iirc | 14:41 |
| hateball | 14.04 and on | 14:41 |
| cfhowlett | ! right! that | 14:41 |
| xubuntu01w | Nalaurien me? | 14:41 |
| cfhowlett | django_, sorry. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:41 |
| cfhowlett | thanks hateball | 14:41 |
| dragonbite | just about to mention "apt-get" | 14:42 |

| hateball | cfhowlett: :) | 14:42 |
| * Nalaurien xubuntu01w | 14:42 | |
| geetar | I have the computer booted to the liveCD | 14:42 |
| xubuntu01w | nalaurien the machine doesnt have access to the internet so I will have to manually type it out | 14:44 |
| xubuntu01w | It might take a while | 14:44 |
| Nalaurien | ah | 14:44 |
| xubuntu01w | Doesnt detect my wifi adapter atm. | 14:44 |
| Nalaurien | put it this way, if you plug it in and it does nothing, then you try stuff and it yells at you | 14:44 |
| Nalaurien | you may have hardware issues | 14:44 |
| Nalaurien | in which case i would stop doing anything | 14:44 |
| Nalaurien | and get a drive cloner | 14:45 |
| xubuntu01w | I can see it on the desktop | 14:45 |
| django_ | i have a lenovo ideapad y470 with two graphics cards | 14:45 |
| Nalaurien | and only connect it to do that | 14:45 |
| django_ | is there any way ubuntu can handle that> | 14:45 |
| Nalaurien | so it mounts ok? | 14:45 |
| xubuntu01w | The drive is fine condition wise. | 14:45 |
| django_ | it runs the graphics as if i were gaming | 14:45 |
| xubuntu01w | Ubuntu doenst like the fact that windows was on it and it didnt shut down last. | 14:45 |
| xubuntu01w | Somone helped me mount it last night, but I forgot the command. | 14:45 |
| xubuntu01w | So im trying agian. | 14:45 |
| xubuntu01w | Sadly they are offline. | 14:45 |
| Nalaurien | that shouldnt matter | 14:45 |
| Nalaurien | linux doesnt care if windows is sad | 14:46 |
| Nalaurien | in fact i think it makes linux happy | 14:46 |
| xubuntu01w | lol | 14:46 |
| xubuntu01w | Well the error is basically saying windows is hibernated refused to mount. | 14:46 |
| xubuntu01w | non zero exist status 14. | 14:46 |
| xubuntu01w | mount with read only options. | 14:46 |
| Nalaurien | wtf | 14:47 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu01w, precisely. reboot windows. do a normal shutdown. return to ubuntu | 14:47 |
| barry_ | Hello word | 14:47 |
| cfhowlett | Nalaurien, no need or place for such language here | 14:47 |
| dragonbite | best bet is going to be to get into the bad drive, copy the files off to a network drive or something so if the ":) hits the fan" the worst case is wipe and recreate the drive | 14:47 |
| Nalaurien | my bad | 14:48 |
| dragonbite | I wish I could remember what I did when I had this issue with Windows... darn memory (and I don't mean RAM)!!! | 14:48 |
| barry_ | What initramfs really do? | 14:48 |
| xubuntu01w | cfhowlett I cannot do that as it is from a old machine that died and has been binned. | 14:48 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu01w, then you may probably can't do anything from the ubuntu side. | 14:49 |
| xubuntu01w | Someone helped me access it last night in read only mode to take things off it. | 14:49 |
| xubuntu01w | So I know I can access it | 14:49 |
| Nalaurien | if i tell you to grep the device designation do you know how to do that? | 14:49 |
| xubuntu01w | I just can't rember the commands -.- | 14:49 |
| xubuntu01w | doesnt it look like this? | 14:50 |
| xubuntu01w | grep | | 14:50 |
| Nalaurien | --# ls /dev/ | grep sd | 14:50 |
| Nalaurien | what is there? | 14:50 |
| xubuntu01w | sda sda1 sda2 sda5 sdb sdb1 sdb2 | 14:51 |
| Nalaurien | do you only have two drives connected? the original and the secondary(windows one)? | 14:52 |
| xubuntu01w | Yes | 14:52 |
| dragonbite | xubuntu01w: what about disconnecting sdb and running a Windows repair disk to try and put everything "back in line"? Then reconnect sdb and if the system doesn't boot to that disk use a LIVE sesson to re-configure grub? | 14:52 |
| Nalaurien | --# cat /media/ | 14:52 |
| Nalaurien | err no | 14:52 |
| Nalaurien | --# ls /media | 14:53 |
| xubuntu01w | Comeplete different machine, I doubt it would run | 14:53 |

| xubuntu01w | Nalaurien, The guy that helped me last night has just came online, He should be able to give me the command no issue. | 14:56 |
| Nalaurien | ok haha | 14:56 |
| Nalaurien | no problem | 14:56 |
| xubuntu01w | It was a 1 line command and then the drive was accesable. | 14:56 |
| xubuntu01w | I will inform you of the command when I get it,. | 14:56 |
| Nalaurien | sure! | 14:56 |
| django_ | i found this: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch/tree/hack-lenovo | 14:57 |

| bottazzini | I need to upgrade kernel from 4.2 to 4.4.1. I am using ubuntu 14.04 LTS... | 15:14 |
| bottazzini | Does anyone know an easy way to do this ? | 15:14 |
| cfhowlett | bottazzini, sudo apt full-upgrade will grab new kernels from the repos | 15:14 |
| OerHeks | bottazzini, you could use the mainline kernel, but only for testing, no support | 15:14 |
| OerHeks | !mainline | 15:14 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 15:14 |

| MonkeyDust | 3.19 in my 14.04 | 15:15 |
| bottazzini | OerHeks, nice thanks | 15:16 |
| baizon | OerHeks: ubuntu 16.04 has them, else only in he mainline | 15:16 |
| bottazzini | MonkeyDust, if you want to upgrade try installing Wily | 15:16 |
| bottazzini | OerHeks I saw it here -> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 15:16 |
| bottazzini | i tried installing it manually but it didn't work | 15:17 |
| c_nick | exit | 15:17 |
| juancri | hello every body | 15:17 |
| MonkeyDust | bottazzini nah, i'll stick to LTS... have 16.04 as a vm | 15:18 |
| bottazzini | MonkeyDust, you can upgrade your LTS Kernel. Thats what I was trying to say... | 15:18 |

| === bishakh_ is now known as bishakh | ||
| teward | bottazzini: yes, but i would not - 16.04 is not actually released yet | 15:30 |
| teward | !ubuntu+1 | bottazzini | 15:30 |
| ubottu | bottazzini: Xenial Xerus is the codename for Ubuntu 16.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 15:30 |
| cfhowlett | bottazzini, yep. of course, that would mean "upgrading " to an OS that is not even developed to BETA testing yet | 15:30 |
| teward | bottazzini: I would NOT do that at this time | 15:30 |
| baizon | bottazzini: yes, it will be | 15:30 |
| bottazzini | i see, I was looking at goole and I found this command: do-release-upgrade -d | 15:31 |
| bottazzini | thanks guys, does anyone know when will it be released ? | 15:32 |
| baizon | bottazzini: yes it will install the latest (also unstable) version, don't recommend it if you don't want to test stuff and get crashes | 15:32 |
| baizon | bottazzini: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule | 15:32 |

| Nalaurien | good stuff m8 glad you got it sorted :) | 15:38 |
| NoiseEee | like my syslog is 2.4G and my kern.log is 17GB | 15:39 |

| PrinceAMD | i've done some googling... but nothing... anyone had a similar issue? | 15:41 |
| OerHeks | you can watch what is happening live, tail -f /var/log/syslog.log | 15:41 |
| Nalaurien | ^^ this | 15:41 |
| PrinceAMD | OerHeks, sad part is there is no log :( | 15:42 |
| Nalaurien | tail it and see whats going on | 15:42 |
| gilje | will ubuntu minimal on ssd be much faster than normal ubuntu install? | 15:42 |
| Nalaurien | whatever you do DO NOT delete the logs and touch them | 15:42 |
| PrinceAMD | no error :/ | 15:42 |
| kknight | i want to uninstall rvm from my system rvm implode doen't work what to do? | 15:42 |
| Nalaurien | if you want to clear them do so in the file | 15:42 |
| MonkeyDust | !find elasticsearch | 15:42 |

| Nalaurien | just fyi youll prolly crash if you touch a deleted log that writes to that log | 15:42 |
| NoiseEee | hmm okay Nalaurien... most of my kern.log stuff seems to be VM related (vbox stuff) | 15:43 |
| NoiseEee | i wonder if there's somewhere to limit that logging | 15:43 |
| Nalaurien | they still shouldnt be that huge | 15:43 |
| Nalaurien | watch tail for a bit and check it every so often, see if you can pinpoint where most of the data comes from | 15:44 |
| NoiseEee | oh i can see | 15:44 |
| NoiseEee | i left my computer on all night | 15:44 |
| Nalaurien | that still doesnt produce a 17G log file | 15:44 |
| Nalaurien | unless something is checking every millisecond for something else and it verbose logs it | 15:44 |
| MonkeyDust | i have cron job, switching my laptop off at 4am, in case i forgot | 15:45 |
| Nalaurien | if you dont wanna search through them for a the problem id clear em and watch it from then on | 15:45 |
| Nalaurien | see if there are any more spiked | 15:45 |
| NoiseEee | Nalaurien: i think i found it. crash in compiz/xorg fills the logs since 6:30pm last night https://gist.github.com/NoiseEee/bd2bf37fbdc2b4c3af65 | 15:46 |

| NoiseEee | can i just truncate the log / how to kill its size right now? | 15:46 |
| NoiseEee | reboot? | 15:46 |
| Nalaurien | you can clear the text in the file, just dont delet it | 15:47 |
| NoiseEee | i can just 'touch' it then? | 15:47 |
| Nalaurien | no | 15:47 |
| Nalaurien | if you delete the logs and then touch | 15:47 |
| Nalaurien | they may try to log that | 15:47 |
| NoiseEee | oh | 15:47 |
| Nalaurien | in which case youll crash | 15:47 |

| === bishakh is now known as bishakh_ | ||
| MonkeyDust | abem2 type /msg alis list blahblah (keyword) | 16:33 |
| cfhowlett | adrian_1908, start krita from the terminal and note any errors it kicks out. might ask #krita or krita forums as well | 16:33 |
| === bishakh is now known as bishakh_ | ||
| adrian_1908 | cfhowlett: I asked in their IRC, but they don't seem to be familiar with this problem (pertaining to Krita itself). Maybe I should ask in the forums then, but I fear I'll just get forwarded from one person to the next. | 16:34 |
| cfhowlett | adrian_1908, krita forums sounds like a reasonable start. as this ONLY happens with krita , sounds like a krita issue. but ... | 16:35 |
| cfhowlett | are you actually having mouse issues? not drawing pad issue? | 16:35 |
| cfhowlett | tried other drawing programs? gimp? mypaint? pencil? | 16:36 |
| kc4lzn | MonkeyDust Thanks. | 16:37 |
| kc4lzn | Fuchs Thanks and I did change my password. | 16:37 |
| Fuchs | good :) | 16:37 |
| Fuchs | kc4lzn: also you want to set up http://freenode.net/sasl/ instead | 16:37 |
| adrian_1908 | cfhowlett: It also crashes without a graphic tablet connected, if that's what you're asking :) | 16:37 |
| cfhowlett | adrian_1908, indeed. other programs do this as well? | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | whoever had the krito issue ... Pinta is also handy | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | krita* | 16:38 |
| kc4lzn | Fuchs I'll pull it up. It was registered, just flubbed up identifying... | 16:38 |
| adrian_1908 | cfhowlett: Never happened to me elsewhere, and in Krita it only happens when I interact with the UI. Painting itself never crashes. I somehow suspect the KDE/Qt libraries are at fault. | 16:39 |
| abem2 | thank you MonkeyDust | 16:39 |
| adrian_1908 | MonkeyDust: I'll take a look at Pinta. Krita seems super nice though, I'm really impressed with it. | 16:39 |
| cfhowlett | also a strong possibility. additional data would help. check logs and error messages | 16:40 |
| adrian_1908 | where these logs are found would be application specific, not Ubuntu wide, correct? | 16:41 |

| adrian_1908 | MonkeyDust: you mean where the logs are would be driven by that, yes? (It is KDE based) | 16:42 |
| cfhowlett | adrian_1908, hopefully it would refer to the app but you might need to do a bit of searching. dmesg might be a good start | 16:42 |

| adrian_1908 | I'll do some more trial and error then and see if i can locate the application logs. If I'm suddenly gone, it crashed again ;o | 16:45 |

| kknight | IS THERE any way to restore system only for last 24 hrs? | 17:12 |
| wk-work | Seveas: because the installer gets butthurt when i configure an interface and it cant reach the gateway, this is intentional because there is some post-configuration happening with the virtual machine. the installation is halted if it can't reach the gateway | 17:13 |

| django_ | cfhowlett, so i updated to 14.04 and i wanna use the nvidia drivers, i go to "software and updates" and in additional drivers there are many drivers | 17:34 |

| krypto | why we need too logs one in /var/log/upstart/service.log and /var/log/service.log | 17:36 |
| cfhowlett | django_, OK, you should have at least one "proprietary" driver. that is probably the recommended choice | 17:36 |
| krypto | two* | 17:36 |
| krypto | those are not symlinks | 17:36 |

| django_ | cfhowlett, yeah but there are many options | 17:40 |
| gagalicious | bramgn: is there any use case for that? | 17:40 |
| gagalicious | if i do noatime, will nodiratime also be used? | 17:40 |
| cfhowlett | django_, you have two proprietary choices. choose one | 17:40 |
| cfhowlett | django | 17:41 |
| django_ | cfhowlett, (propietary, tested) ? | 17:41 |
| cfhowlett | ah, i see the issue. OK, the biggest number will be the newest driver. that's the one | 17:41 |

| gagalicious | that means i can disable it guess. what about noacl. | 17:44 |
| lotuspsychje | gagalicious: did you try tweak swappiness and install preload | 17:46 |
| gagalicious | preload uses memory | 17:46 |
| gagalicious | i did tweak swappiness | 17:46 |
| gagalicious | noacl... advisable? | 17:46 |

| django_ | ok so i did sudo prime-select intel, and i did prime-select query and i get intel but i still hear my nvidia graphics card running :( | 17:50 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: you mean nvidia-prime? | 17:52 |
| django_ | lotuspsychje, i dont want nvidia to run | 17:52 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: did you disable performance mode in nvidia-settings? | 17:52 |

| django_ | only the intel graphics card | 17:52 |
| NikLP | right I've got some NAS drives and they're set up with fstab partitions. But if they're off when I boot the pc, they're not visible. How do I "rerun" fstab to get these drives mounted? | 17:52 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: did you install nvidia-prime like i asked last time? | 17:53 |
| MonkeyDust | NikLP by "off", you mean switched off, or unmounted? | 17:54 |
| MonkeyDust | NikLP mount everything in fstab with sudo mount -a | 17:54 |
| NikLP | the NAS' were off, the pc was on. Having exhausted my searching, I finally just found "mount -a" | 17:55 |
| NikLP | yeah thanks MonkeyDust :) | 17:55 |
| MonkeyDust | NikLP NAS users help each other | 17:55 |
| NikLP | MonkeyDust: it did give me a device busy error tho - because a device was "already mounted" perhaps? | 17:55 |
| NikLP | MonkeyDust: what do you have? (I have two crappy old units, one is failing (2TB :( )) | 17:55 |
| django_ | lotuspsychje, idk what that is, ive been trying to work with the nvidia drivers | 17:56 |
| django_ | my goal is just to turn it off i wanna program not game | 17:56 |
| django_ | and it heats it for no reason | 17:56 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: if your card is optimus, you need to install nvidia-prime | 17:56 |
| django_ | i have nvidia geforce | 17:56 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: only then you can turn it off... | 17:56 |

| django_ | lotuspsychje, do i need to uninstall the drivers? | 17:57 |
| MonkeyDust | NikLP same here, ancient Netgear Readynas Duo | 17:57 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: no, you need an nvidia-number driver + nvidia-prime package then turn off performance mode in nvidia-settings | 17:58 |
| NikLP | MonkeyDust: ah well! still a great thing to have :) | 17:58 |
| NikLP | tyvm | 17:58 |
| django_ | is there a guide for this? | 17:58 |
| django_ | havent found anything in google | 17:58 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: i just explained you... | 17:58 |
| django_ | how do i know if I have the nvidia-number driver installed? | 17:59 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: look in your additional drivers section | 17:59 |
| django_ | oh ok i do | 17:59 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: the hardware icon | 17:59 |
| lotuspsychje | django_: then sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime | 17:59 |

| ash_workz | what's a good channel to ask about the dig command? | 18:48 |
| ash_workz | any recommendations? | 18:48 |
| MonkeyDust | ash_workz ask here | 18:48 |
| ash_workz | what's with the @ sign? | 18:49 |
| pbx | ash_workz, what are you trying to do and what have you read (e.g. manpage) | 18:49 |
| ash_workz | I kinda get that it means "search from here" but I don't quite understand the dynamics of what dig does to really get that | 18:49 |
| MonkeyDust | ash_workz what brings you here, in one line, so you can easily repeat | 18:49 |
| ash_workz | pbx: I've read some of the man, looked at an example on youtube; this person uses it in code that now I am dealing with | 18:50 |
| === isReKT2000 is now known as Guest88791 | ||
| ash_workz | the purpose of the script which it is used in is to update geo data (inevitably; that may not be the goal here; though it looks pretty integral to the purpose) | 18:51 |
| Pici | ash_workz: it specifies that you want to ask a specific dns server for their response | 18:52 |
| ash_workz | dig (apparently) fetches some data that is then parsed for a db update. | 18:52 |
| sveinse | Hi. Just installed ubuntu 15.10 and I am running gnome shell. How can I disable that the screen does not go black (not blank) after some inactivity? | 18:52 |
| ash_workz | (php script) the format is `dig @127.0.0.1 $var.ext TXT` | 18:53 |
| ash_workz | Pici: so asking specifically itself? | 18:54 |
| Pici | ash_workz: that is asking the server at 127.0.0.1 what TXT records it has for $var.ext | 18:54 |
| Pici | ash_workz: assuming you have a dns server running locally, yes. | 18:54 |
| ash_workz | "it has for $var.ext" -- meaning the record will be named that way? | 18:54 |
| Pici | ash_workz: thats some php thing, I can't speak to what is in that variable. | 18:55 |
| wk-work | is there any way to configure an network network interface with kickstart with additional routes? just specifying the ip, netmask and gateway is not enough to get network access | 18:55 |
| squinty | sveinse, try System Settings -> Brightness and Lock | 18:55 |
| Pici | wk-work: you may want to ask in #ubuntu-server as well | 18:55 |
| ash_workz | Pici: disregard the variable name, I am more interested in the meaning of the syntax and the placement of these words | 18:55 |
| wk-work | Pici: thanks | 18:55 |
| Pici | ash_workz: $var.ext is where I would expect the dns name of whatever you're querying about to be. | 18:56 |
| funkenstrahlen_ | hey, anyone here with some knowledge about running ejabberd server? | 18:57 |
| Pici | ash_workz: i.e. dig @8.8.8.8 ubuntu.com AAAA would ask the DNS server 8.8.8.8 what AAAA records it has for ubuntu.com | 18:57 |
| funkenstrahlen_ | I struggle setting up anonymous login | 18:57 |
| johnno01 | rm | 18:57 |
| ash_workz | I see | 18:57 |
| ash_workz | so | 18:58 |
| ash_workz | when I dig google.com TXT, it gives google.com.3599INTXT"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all" ... would the equivalent be like dig @google.com google.com TXT ? | 18:58 |
| ash_workz | seems to hang if I do that | 18:59 |
| ash_workz | this is where my confusion comes in with the @ sign | 18:59 |
| teward | ash_workz: @ denotes the nameserver to query | 18:59 |
| teward | ash_workz: 'google.com' is not a direct nameserver, iirc | 18:59 |
| Pici | ash_workz: google.com doesn't host a nameserver (over port 53) | 19:00 |
| teward | ash_workz: therefore, if you want to query the Google DNS servers, use @8.8.8.8 | 19:00 |
| ash_workz | can you glob with dig? dig @ns*.google.com google.com TXT ? | 19:01 |
| ash_workz | guess not | 19:02 |
| sparks_ | Did anyone actually get TRIM functions to work ubuntu ubuntu 12.04 on mdadm soft raid + ext4 with kernel 3.2.0-77? | 19:04 |

| k1l_ | rootri: what ubuntu release is that? | 19:06 |
| rootri | 14.04 | 19:06 |
| bazhang | !gksudo | 19:06 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 19:06 |

| rootri | tried a 16.04 live cd and it didn't seem any better | 19:07 |
| MonkeyDust | pavlos ubottu just said to not use sudo with graphical applicacations | 19:08 |
| k1l_ | rootri: try "sudo apt install linux-generic-lts-wily" that will bring you the 4.2 kernel from 15.10. check if that is better. | 19:08 |

| k1l_ | pubunt: did you reboot after the upgrade? | 19:24 |
| pubunt | upgrade didn't finish....it crashed on grub-pc | 19:25 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: ok. that info would have been good to here some minutes before | 19:25 |
| pubunt | oh, sorry | 19:25 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: run a "sudo update-grub" | 19:25 |
| pubunt | I ran software updates when I rebooted | 19:25 |
| william1978_ | I wasn't sure how to phrase this in google or I would have asked there, how do I access directories from an external hard drive in linux? I checked out where they mount from in the terminal in /dev but I don't know how to figure out which TTY I need or how to access it as a file structure from the terminal. | 19:26 |
| pubunt | k1l_, okay, done | 19:26 |
| genii | william1978_: The device names they make in /dev are only raw device names and not directly accessible. The name there ( for example /dev/sdb1) needs to be spliced into the existing filesystem | 19:27 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: can you pastebin the output in the paste.ubuntu.com again? | 19:27 |
| william1978_ | OK is that hard to do? I'd say I am adept with a terminal but still just a young padawan! LOL :D | 19:28 |
| genii | william1978_: The automounter should want to try and do this normally somewhere like /media/yourusername/external-volume-label | 19:28 |
| delt | Hello | 19:28 |
| william1978_ | Oh, ok. Thank you. | 19:28 |
| pavlos | william1978, when the ext drive is mounted, do you see the files in /media/<user>/<hex>? | 19:29 |

| william1978_ | Last question. And yes, it's there. How would I type Seagate \Expansion \Drive so that it dosen't bash me? | 19:31 |
| k1l_ | william1978_: you need to escape the spaces with a \ in front | 19:31 |
| pubunt | okay, thanks | 19:31 |
| Uttyte | just move the backslashes in front of the spaces | 19:31 |
| pubunt | will reboot now | 19:31 |
| Uttyte | William: from the CLI you can also just type the first couple chars and hit TAB | 19:33 |
| Uttyte | it should complete for you | 19:33 |

| pubunt | it 'sees' kernel 4.2 , how do I make it use it? | 19:37 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: is it the ubuntu grub? or is it the debian grub? | 19:40 |
| pubunt | ubuntu? | 19:40 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: no | 19:40 |
| django_ | which command tells you memory usage? | 19:40 |
| k1l_ | 3.19-22 is the second last kernel. there is a newer 3.19 kernel and it doesnt see it. | 19:41 |
| pauljw | django_, free | 19:41 |
| k1l_ | so either you install the grub from ubuntu again, or you boot to debian and run the grub from there. | 19:41 |

I am getting annoyed and tempted to run the terminal superuser. Does anyone know why I may not be able to change the permissions? | 19:49 |
| blabla | william1978_: type mount in a terminal and paste it | 19:49 |
| blabla | might be mounted with noexec | 19:50 |
| pubunt | k1l_, it worked | 19:50 |
| pubunt | but now I think I have video driver problem? lol letters disappear | 19:50 |
| william1978_ | /dev/sda2 on /media/william1978/Seagate Expansion Drive type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) | 19:51 |
| pubunt | letters are missing in the menu | 19:51 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: if you dont use debian that ofte you should think about installing the ubuntu grub. | 19:51 |
| pubunt | and when I type here...... | 19:51 |
| pubunt | I thought it was the ubuntu grub? I updated it in my other Ubuntu partition | 19:51 |
| k1l_ | other ubuntu partition? | 19:51 |
| pubunt | yep | 19:51 |
| pubunt | I run 2 Ubuntu OS and 1 Debian | 19:52 |
| pubunt | and Windoze | 19:52 |
| william1978_ | I didn't see noexec . :( | 19:52 |
| william1978_ | And I didn't paste everything because I didn't want to flood the channel with txt. | 19:53 |
| pubunt | is the letters disappearing a video driver problem? | 19:53 |
| pubunt | I can't see what I type lol | 19:53 |
| pavlos | william1978, can you check if the perms are 755 for that file? | 19:53 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: could be | 19:53 |
| pubunt | maybe the change in kernel...resulted in this issue? | 19:54 |
| llutz | william1978_: its ntfs, you cannot use chmod/chown on non-unix filesystems | 19:54 |
| pubunt | any typos is not my fault lol | 19:54 |
| Hyrule | how would you go about installing ubuntu as a VM on a USB thumbdrive? I didn't find a portable VirtualBox or VMWare version. any clues? | 19:54 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: what video card and how is the driver installed? | 19:54 |
| thoma | Hello. | 19:54 |
| pubunt | nvidia gtx 7450 | 19:54 |
| pubunt | gtx 750 | 19:54 |
| pubunt | usually, I add from additional drivers but I have installed from nvidia site b4 too | 19:55 |
| william1978_ | pavlos SOAB, I don't have a 3TB internal to transfer the data to. Thanks for all the help | 19:55 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: dont mix the drivers. | 19:55 |
| pubunt | if I want to use the latest drivers, I google how to install latest | 19:55 |
| william1978_ | Hmm, had an idea. What is the best partitioning tool for Xubuntu? | 19:56 |
| pubunt | what do you mean by mix? | 19:56 |
| blabla | william1978_: actually you can use chown and chmod on ntfs, it just wont stick to the next mount | 19:56 |
| william1978_ | It's Fat32 | 19:56 |
| blabla | william1978_: what's the file you're trying to chmod +x ? | 19:56 |
| blabla | fat32 as well | 19:56 |
| pubunt | I don't have to remove the FOSS ones right? | 19:56 |
| blabla | type ls -l /path/to/file after doing a chmod +x on it | 19:56 |
| pubunt | just have to choose between ubuntu provided or latest ones from nvidia site? | 19:57 |
| pubunt | choices are 352 (ubuntu) or 358/361 | 19:57 |
| pubunt | anyone else try to use nouveau drivers in 15.10? | 19:58 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: if you install from the nvidia site there are issues after a new kernel is updated and there will be no updates for the drivers | 19:58 |
| === Jonas___ is now known as Jonas____ | ||
| k1l_ | pubunt: so if you use the website driver you need to take care of that yourself. | 19:58 |

| optimistic7 | how to pass exit code of child process to any other process (other than parent process) ? | 20:35 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: that is not true. your several OS setup and your mix on nvidia drivers caused your issues. so blaming ubuntu for that doesnt make you look smarter | 20:35 |
| pubunt | it is true | 20:36 |
| pubunt | my other partition, it's up to date but still some videos doesn't work | 20:36 |
| pubunt | since I upgraded to 15.10 in this one, flash doesn't work | 20:36 |
| pubunt | and had to run through hoops to fix things | 20:36 |
| k1l_ | flash does work. | 20:36 |
| pubunt | why would have multiple OS cause these issues? | 20:37 |
| pubunt | no, it doesn't ... | 20:37 |
| k1l_ | if you fix issues with "i just load stuff from the web and install that" there is no doubt that things are not going like the automated testings ubuntu does with its packages. | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: the issues with grub and the kernel used. | 20:38 |
| pubunt | 15.10 is buggy | 20:38 |
| papodaca_ | Anyone here know anything about kvm on 14.04? | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | pubunt: you make it buggy. dont blame others for you messing with the system | 20:38 |
| pubunt | lol | 20:38 |
| pubunt | it shows flash plug in installed but nothing works | 20:39 |
| pubunt | I've seen this before... when ubuntu was buggy, I switched to debian and mint and even tried fedora | 20:39 |
| pubunt | 15.10 is crap | 20:39 |

| emitattuo | Could the release just not be configured properly out-of-the-box for your particular system configuration, pubunt? | 20:40 |
| pubunt | it's working in chrome but an older version | 20:40 |
| pubunt | you're just saying there's a bug | 20:41 |
| pubunt | emitattuo, I dunno...but, flashplugin installer is the main package for flash and flash doesn't work in firefox | 20:41 |
| pubunt | emitattuo, I just think it's pretty bad when you have to run through hoops to get it to work | 20:42 |
| pubunt | if it would even work...some sites don't work | 20:42 |
| OerHeks | sounds more like 'some sites' than an Ubuntu issue | 20:42 |
| k1l_ | there we go | 20:43 |
| emitattuo | pubunt, did Firefox do something on their end? Or is the old version of Flash that's available for Linux just isn't compatible with those sites? | 20:43 |
| emitattuo | As far as I know, it's been years since Flash got more than a security fix on Linux. | 20:43 |
| OerHeks | flash is dead,indeed | 20:44 |
| pubunt | oh, I know... stuck at ver. 11.2 | 20:44 |
| OerHeks | papodaca_, maybe you find your answer https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 20:45 |
| papodaca_ | OerHeks, I tried all the steps there. Everything *should* be ok but I cannot spawn vms getting "Call to virDomainDefineXML failed: unknown OS type hvm" | 20:45 |
| pubunt | btw, there's a lot of negative reviews in the software center | 20:45 |
| pubunt | which shows my experience is not unique | 20:46 |
| emitattuo | pubunt, part of that could be the general dislike for Flash over open-source options. | 20:46 |
| pubunt | I dislike flash too but | 20:47 |
| Ben64 | so use chrome, or use pepperflash for firefox, if you want to blame someone, blame adobe | 20:47 |
| squinty | pubunt, pepperflash (in repo) plus add the PPA for freshplayerplugin http://askubuntu.com/questions/671242/adobe-flashplugin-works-for-chromium-but-doesnt-work-for-firefox | 20:47 |

| OerHeks | dersquisher, wily comes with gcc 5+... why such old version? | 20:57 |

| dersquisher | ioria, interesting, thanks! | 21:06 |
| ioria | dersquisher, try the source the .deb not working | 21:06 |

| dersquisher | I'm currently building the vivid packaging, if that doesn't work I'll build the one you sent me. | 21:07 |
| ioria | dersquisher, good luck | 21:07 |
| daftykins | i understand the lower relevance, but vivid is EOL | 21:07 |
| maum | daftykins: there is some ssl like key | 21:08 |
| dersquisher | daftykins, I don't think that's relevant here, but thanks ;-) | 21:08 |
| maum | daftykins: I like to remove some specific key in certificate file. | 21:08 |
| papodaca_ | OerHeks, best I can tell as per the libvirt docs hvm should be supported: http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsOSBIOS | 21:08 |
| daftykins | dersquisher: ok, but if that releases' packages are old - it'd be unwise is all | 21:08 |
| pavlos | maum, seems you appended (>>) the pkey to exbundle. Edit the exbundle and remove the pkey | 21:08 |
| dersquisher | daftykins, you realize I'm going there particularly to find old versions, right? | 21:09 |
| daftykins | nope i only just joined so i have no idea what you're talking about - sorry :) | 21:09 |
| maum | pavlos: I did that but the key is not working. so I think I have to use different way to remove the private key. | 21:09 |
| papodaca_ | OerHeks, `virsh capabilities` does not report any os types as supported @_@ | 21:10 |
| pavlos | maum, if exbundle is not a text file, there must be some pgm to modify contents. | 21:10 |
| maum | pavlos: pgm? | 21:11 |
| pavlos | maum, program | 21:11 |
| maum | pavlos: specific program? | 21:11 |
| pavlos | maum, I just suggested something. If exbundle is text, you can edit and remove the key. If not, dont know ... | 21:13 |
| maum | pavlos: ok, thanks | 21:14 |
| daftykins | run "file exbundle" perhaps | 21:14 |
| maum | file? | 21:15 |
| daftykins | yes it's a command that tells you what a file is | 21:15 |
| maum | but there are several keys in exbundle so I like to remove some specific key. | 21:15 |
| daftykins | i think we're speaking a different language :) | 21:16 |
| maum | extracerts.bundle: ASCII text, with CRLF, LF line terminators | 21:16 |
| maum | it is ASCII text | 21:16 |
| daftykins | so then it is editable | 21:17 |

| C_minus | i'll try swapping them around then. | 21:48 |
| krastavac | can i pass resolution via grub loader console? | 21:48 |
| daftykins | is it really a flash drive or a hard disk? | 21:48 |
| daftykins | krastavac: for TTYs or the splash screen i think, but i don't think it affects the desktop | 21:48 |
| C_minus | my live environment is booted from a flash drive. the external hard drive is a magnetic disc. | 21:48 |
| krastavac | asking for live distro in vbox from iso | 21:49 |
| daftykins | disk... ok. | 21:49 |
| C_minus | This is the output from lsblk now: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15019425/ | 21:49 |
| daftykins | krastavac: sorry i don't understand that sentence | 21:50 |
| C_minus | Before the failed dd operation it had my external drive under /dev/sdc with size ~1TB | 21:50 |
| daftykins | C_minus: run "sudo parted -l" and throw it in a paste too | 21:51 |
| krastavac | to change resolution in vbox guest you need to install guest additions and reboot, which is useless if you want to boot live iso | 21:51 |
| squinty | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Displays | 21:52 |
| daftykins | krastavac: have you got 3D acceleration enabled on the display options of the VM? i've seen that help VMs, though i might be thinking of vmware... anyway, really a proper install should be used to see it at its' best. | 21:52 |
| daftykins | you can also just install a driver in a live session via apt, then restart X | 21:53 |
| ross` | squinty: thanks, that worked. | 21:53 |
| squinty | ross`, good to hear :-) | 21:53 |
| krastavac | is there way to pass resolution via boot loader console? as i remember there was something like that in androids boot loader | 21:55 |
| daftykins | please don't ask in two places at once | 21:55 |
| daftykins | oh sorry, you didn't - i just pressed the wrong number XD | 21:56 |

| al2o3-cr | daftykins: obfuscated it is not | 21:58 |
| krastavac | GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 this is resolution just for splash screen? | 21:58 |
| daftykins | yes it is... | 21:58 |
| al2o3-cr | daftykins: not at all | 21:59 |
| daftykins | al2o3-cr: it is in acronym form, now stop arguing the factual. | 21:59 |
| daftykins | krastavac: i honestly think you're going about this the wrong way | 21:59 |
| al2o3-cr | daftykins: clueless | 21:59 |
| daftykins | al2o3-cr: perhaps you are unaware of the definition or don't speak English as your mother tongue - regardless, just accept the fact to be polite in here and move on, thanks :) | 22:00 |
| krastavac | is it true that google doesnt index instagram photos? | 22:00 |
| daftykins | that's not relevant to #ubuntu support | 22:00 |
| OerHeks | krastavac, ask the google guys? | 22:01 |
| al2o3-cr | daftykins: what definition are you speaking about? | 22:01 |
| OerHeks | al2o3-cr, please stop it, thanks. | 22:01 |
| al2o3-cr | OerHeks: i wan't to know what daftykins think is factual | 22:02 |
| al2o3-cr | *want | 22:02 |
| al2o3-cr | and the definition | 22:03 |

| daftykins | CoolRabbit: if you've ever tried using "sudo startx" or similar though, you could have /home/username/ ownership issues | 22:12 |

| === ubuntu-gnome_ is now known as wardenclyffe1 | ||
| nimbiotics | dersquisher: I found an init script template (https://github.com/fhd/init-script-template/blob/master/template), but there are a couple of things I don't fully understand. First of all, should I just edit it and put it on /etc/initd? Also, I need to provide the user name, do I also need to provide a pssword somewhere? | 22:15 |
| dersquisher | nimbiotics, that's a sysv init script, not entirely sure that'll work, depends on your ubuntu version. | 22:16 |
| dersquisher | generally, yes, and no, you don't need the password in there anywhere | 22:16 |
| nimbiotics | dersquisher: Using ubuntu 14.04, thats systemd, right? | 22:18 |
| C_minus | oh i get it, it's a combination of several parameters concatenaated together.... | 22:18 |
| genii | nimbiotics: If it's a sys v init script, just put it /etc/init.d/ and make sure it's executable | 22:18 |
| dersquisher | nimbiotics, I'm not really keeping track, sorry. If you can run the command 'systemctl', then I think so. And systemd supports those scripts, so that'd work | 22:19 |
| genii | If it's an upstart script, put it in /etc/init/ | 22:19 |
| genii | Either way it will get run | 22:19 |
| daftykins | C_minus: dd can report progress with its' PID being sent a "kill -USR1" | 22:19 |
| daftykins | i don't know if that'll work given the command you've been using though | 22:19 |
| CoolRabbit | daftykins, or use the pd pipe | 22:20 |
| C_minus | daftykins why is that? can you suggest something better? it's straight drive to drive restore: sdc -> sda | 22:20 |

| CoolRabbit | the first part ... dd bs=4M if = lalaal | pv -c | dd of=lalal | 22:24 |

| ikonia | and you wanted to change it | 22:26 |
| daftykins | the guy refuses to hear it, yeah | 22:27 |
| C_minus | ikonia it's the only backup I have. I tried "fixing" that gpt/mbr error according to clonezilla's support page and it bricked my laptop. so thank god I had a dd backup lying around! | 22:28 |
| ikonia | C_minus: there is no way changing the partition table on an empty disk you're not using will "brick" your laptop | 22:28 |
| === entropyz is now known as vir17 | ||
| ikonia | the reason you had problems last time was you of=the/wrong/device | 22:29 |
| ikonia | which is another reason you should not be doing this as a method | 22:29 |
| C_minus | ikonia when? what should my of have been? | 22:29 |
| === entropyz is now known as vir17 | ||
| ikonia | C_minus: the blank disk | 22:29 |
| ikonia | C_minus: you did it to the usb disk you where booted from | 22:29 |
| C_minus | ikonia no i didn't, I'm using that usb disk right now. | 22:30 |
| ikonia | C_minus: I can only go by what you told me - you told me you had done it to the 2gb disk | 22:30 |
| CoolRabbit | hello | 22:30 |
| ikonia | and to be honest - there is no way to "brick" your latop unless you use the wrong device | 22:30 |
| C_minus | ikonia dd didn't have anything to do with "bricking" my device. it was the solution proposed here: http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/116_unmatched_partition_table.faq | 22:32 |
| C_minus | my laptop just had a blinking cursor after the initial "dell" logo | 22:32 |
| ikonia | C_minus: and I told you exactly how to fix the partition table problem | 22:32 |
| ikonia | I went into detaul | 22:32 |
| ikonia | detail | 22:32 |
| C_minus | ikonia you did? i must have missed that, i'd be very grateful if you could tell me again. | 22:33 |
| ikonia | C_minus: you didn't miss it - as we worked it through and you told me you had done it to the wrong device (2GB device that was your usb stick) | 22:33 |
| ikonia | at that point you left | 22:33 |
| ikonia | took a good 45 minutes of talking and explaining it | 22:33 |
| C_minus | ikonia i think you might be mistaken, or i gave you bad info at the time. because the usb stick is golden i'm using it to run a live environment and talk to you right now. | 22:34 |
| C_minus | what you told me to do, if i remember, was to overwrite an external drive with /dev/zero | 22:34 |
| ikonia | C_minus: no doubt, but that doesn't change the fact that I walked you through it | 22:35 |
| ikonia | C_minus: write zeros to the drive, or blank the partition table, which is what we did | 22:35 |
| C_minus | we did that to an external hard drive (not the same one by dd backup is on.) the gpt/mbr problem is on my laptop's internal hard drive. | 22:35 |
| ikonia | I'm not sure why that is a problem ? | 22:36 |
| C_minus | because it caused clonezilla to throw an error instead of making me a backup medium. | 22:36 |
| ikonia | I can image my gpt based systems just fine | 22:36 |
| ikonia | I'd suggest working it through with the clonezilla support guys if in doubt | 22:37 |
| ikonia | carrying on as you are doing will lead to failure | 22:37 |
| C_minus | therefore i was forced to pursue other means (i.e. dd) to make a backup (since the procedure for fixing the gpt/mbr mismatch error contained multiple warnings about deleting data) | 22:37 |
| ikonia | and to be honest - I'd question if you should be depending on an "image" as a regular backup option | 22:37 |
| C_minus | ikonia isn't that the simplest way to restore a dual boot configuration? without messing around with lots of different images for different partitions? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | much much not | 22:38 |
| ikonia | and again - I'd question if you should be using "images" as a core option | 22:38 |
| ikonia | but we covered this before | 22:38 |
| C_minus | duely noted | 22:38 |
| daftykins | C_minus: don't take this the wrong way - but it's clear you've just grabbed a bunch of commands and throw them at your system without a full understanding, which has, is and will continue to cause issues | 22:40 |
| C_minus | i don't take offense to that at all. i'm here to learn. | 22:41 |
| daftykins | right... and using tools like dd is tough because a single typo can hose everything in one go | 22:42 |
| ouroumov | Anyone know why a garbled splash screen resulting from a previous failed FDE install would survive a clean reinstall with root partition formated and how to fix it? | 22:43 |
| Frank_Leach | strangest thing...i just powered up my chromebook, first time in a week, did an update and dist upgrade in terminal, rebooted to finish update...rebooted and my cursor from my mouse is gone! Can anyone help? | 22:43 |
| C_minus | right now, given that my laptop is in hard-drive-purgatory and all i have is a full drive backup made with dd, I need to get it restored. I'm more than willing to take advice about how I should do this and that, but right now none of that is very useful to me. | 22:43 |
| daftykins | C_minus: i understand that, however it's at this moment - when you've broken it - that the warning needs to be repeated to highlight it | 22:44 |
| daftykins | so what exactly is the problem? all you need do is repeat what you've done before to restore to the internal drive presumably. | 22:44 |
| C_minus | daftykins i used dd to restore it. i can't remember the exact command someone here helped me formulate it. | 22:45 |
| C_minus | piped through pv to produce eta, progress bar etc. | 22:45 |
| daftykins | right but you said it got interrupted, so just do it again | 22:45 |
| daftykins | i mean you had the disappearing internal disk thing before, but i asked for a "sudo parted -l" - not seen it yet. | 22:46 |
| C_minus | daftykins, thats because your proposal of swapping usb ports seemed to work ;) ! | 22:47 |
| Frank_Leach | can anyone help me restore my mouse function? | 22:47 |
| daftykins | C_minus: err i'm not sure how that applies to either thing i said | 22:47 |
| C_minus | the drive was acknowledged. here it is if you're still interested: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15019865/ | 22:48 |
| daftykins | yeah so i see all 3, so where's the problem? | 22:49 |
| daftykins | run your restore with the appropriate source disk as if= and target as of= and let it run | 22:49 |

| rww | try enabling multiverse and installing unrar (not -free) | 23:02 |
| rww | but it confuses me that it's seeing /usr/local/bin/unrar and not /usr/bin/unrar | 23:03 |

| EriC^^ | np | 23:15 |
| Frank_Leach | Thanks Eric, that worked fine | 23:17 |
| Frank_Leach | mouse is perfect again | 23:17 |
| EriC^^ | Frank_Leach: great, no problem | 23:17 |
| pouet12345 | ok I will just reboot then ^^ | 23:18 |
| pouet12345 | or maybe if I boot a live cd in a vm, I can reach what I | 23:18 |
| pouet12345 | mmm no, I won't since I would not mount lvm in the vm | 23:18 |
| daftykins | sure you could | 23:18 |
| EriC^^ | pouet12345: what are you trying to achieve? | 23:19 |
| === evaldo is now known as ebratti | ||
| pouet12345 | EriC^^, I am trying to fix my "multiboot (lvm/volume/logic)/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img" | 23:21 |
| pouet12345 | i will simply reboot, since I can't guess the right name from linux | 23:21 |
| === evaldo is now known as ebratti | ||
| EriC^^ | pouet12345: update-grub isn't getting it right? | 23:21 |
| gear4 | "g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)" | 23:23 |
| gear4 | Good Game Well Played, Ubuntu 15.10 | 23:23 |
| pouet12345 | EriC^^, I don't use update grub to do a multiboot with lvm. I have to load core.img since you can't embed grub inside a lvm partition | 23:25 |
| pouet12345 | EriC^^, I found the right syntax in the #grub channel | 23:26 |
| pouet12345 | menuentry "load hcpc-linux_trusty 14.04 trusty" { | 23:26 |
| pouet12345 | multiboot (lvm/hcpc-linux_trusty)/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img | 23:26 |
| pouet12345 | } | 23:26 |
| gear4 | so can anyone explain to me why only Ubuntu 15.10 fails with gcc 5.3 ? | 23:26 |
| EriC^^ | pouet12345: isn't grub in the mbr? | 23:26 |
| gear4 | it works perfect on 12.04 so | 23:26 |
| pouet12345 | EriC^^, some parts of grub are in the mbr, the other parts are on a regular file system, and you can chainload grub and kernels | 23:27 |
| EriC^^ | pouet12345: you're not using a separate /boot? | 23:28 |
| pouet12345 | EriC^^, you have a part in the mbr, a part can be in a small grub boot partition, and the rest is in /boot/grub/i386-pc | 23:28 |
| pouet12345 | EriC^^, not really. grub2 can find the linux kernel directly on lvm partition | 23:29 |
| pouet12345 | EriC^^, so I have a fake /boot partition that contains only /grub/ then from there i use "multiboot (lvm/hcpc-linux_trusty)/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img" | 23:30 |
| === Guest13208 is now known as ebratti | ||
| pouet12345 | multiboot (lvm/hcpc-linux_warewolf)/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img | 23:30 |
| pouet12345 | this is the way to multiboot easily with LVM | 23:30 |
| EriC^^ | oh ok | 23:33 |
| jwynn6 | anyone have any reason that i cannot get an ssh socks tunnel to attach to a 12.04 install | 23:36 |
| === rww is now known as ezri | ||
| ouroumov | jwynn6, did you sudo apt-get install ssh? | 23:37 |
| daftykins | pretty sure openssh-server being there is not jwynn6's issue ;) | 23:38 |
| jwynn6 | yeah, it might be. ive got a server that has no public access but i can ssh into it | 23:39 |
| jwynn6 | im trying to update it and figured thats the best way to tunnel access out | 23:39 |
| k1l_ | jwynn6: can you explain the "not public but you can ssh" a bit more? | 23:40 |
| === ^CJ^ is now known as ^cj^ | ||
| jwynn6 | its in a corp network. firewalled in a dmz, with the exception of ssh | 23:40 |
| daftykins | update what? | 23:41 |
| jwynn6 | i can get that from my portion of the corp net, and i can get out to do updates. trying to tunnel out so i can run apt-get update/upgrade | 23:41 |
| jwynn6 | maybe theres a better way to do this. im open to ideas | 23:43 |
| daftykins | i don't really know what you're trying to achieve | 23:45 |
| ouroumov | Me neither | 23:45 |
| ouroumov | Why would you need to tunnel out to run apt-get update if you say you can get out to do updates? | 23:45 |
| jwynn6 | oh, sorry. my laptop can, but the server cant. | 23:46 |
| k1l_ | he wants to tunnel traffic (to run system updates) form a firewalled system over ssh to a workplace machine that can connect outside. | 23:46 |
| jwynn6 | yup. correct. | 23:46 |
| ouroumov | Uh, okay | 23:46 |
| k1l_ | i would ask the admin if he can open ports for that task for that machine | 23:46 |
| odraude | hola | 23:48 |
| daftykins | hello | 23:48 |
| jwynn6 | it took them a month to approve the ssh port for me to access the server i own. | 23:48 |
| daftykins | that sounds like a bad provider | 23:48 |
| Spec | lol | 23:48 |
| tgm4883 | seriously | 23:49 |
| jwynn6 | oh yeah. not a happy camper about it. but its what the bossman paid for and he wants to get his money's worth | 23:49 |
| k1l_ | i dont fully understand that network setup and the purpose of that. | 23:49 |
| tgm4883 | k1l_: nobody does. that's how it's so secure, it's impossible to hack what can't be understood | 23:50 |
| lorenzo | hi! how can I add this ppa? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-msp430 | 23:50 |
| tgm4883 | lorenzo: that's not a PPA | 23:50 |

| user_ | i've done all that | 23:53 |
| user_ | i burned a good disk.... do the install | 23:53 |
| user_ | but my imac doesn't boot it | 23:54 |
| Jordan_U | user_: What iso did you burn from? How did you burn it? | 23:54 |
| user_ | i downloaded the file from the ubuntu webite. burned the iso image. have run it as a live boot successfully | 23:55 |
| user_ | i may be having trouble with telling it where to install or where to find it, i'm not sure | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | user_: What is the name of the .iso file? I assume you burned it to a DVD? (Sometimes people incorrectly call writing to a USB drive "burning") | 23:56 |
| user_ | burned to dvd | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | user_: What happens when you boot with the DVD in the Mac's drive and while holding the 'c' key? | 23:57 |
| user_ | i'm not sure... i have done it holding alt because I'm using a windows keyboard and it will pull up the install cd... then i do the whole install... it finishes. restarts computer as i'm holding alt after ejecting dvd and nothing happens. | 23:58 |
