[00:00] xD [00:00] !makulu | pcwiz1 [00:00] I already tried that tesdtsdfasd. [00:00] pcwiz1: http://makululinux.com/ [00:00] I know. [00:00] But persistence is everything. [00:00] xD [00:01] I wish I could get my dam IRC client working. [00:01] hey xangua [00:01] Crashes after ~1 minute at the moment. [00:01] I don't even use ubuntu, I just needed a channel with a lot of users. [00:01] That explains your name. [00:01] Aye. [00:01] It's essentially slack, but for IRC. [00:01] Want to put some auto nickserv stuff in there as well. [00:02] So anyone know what's going on with my Youtube problem? [00:02] Too much youtube. [00:02] Always the case. [00:02] xD more like I can't watch youtube. [00:02] Audio is semless, but the video buffers and eventually desynchs. [00:02] seamless* [00:03] AthenaPvP: tried chromium to check? [00:04] k1l_: I would much rather use IE than Chrome.. But I'll give it a check. [00:05] Seems to be having issue finding right package. I need PDO driver for PHP, installed php5-mysql but that didn't solve the issue. [00:05] AthenaPvP: chromium [00:05] AthenaPvP: that is the code of chrome, before google adds all the goole specifics. [00:06] k1l_: do they still support Java? [00:06] AthenaPvP: yes. why shouldnt they? [00:06] k1l_: because Chrome doesn't. [00:06] AthenaPvP: what? [00:07] k1l_: https://java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml [00:08] also, k1l_ , I downloaded chromium and I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.. There's no install file to click, [00:08] Is there a way (tool, program, etc.) that changes the colors of the screen? [00:09] Multbrelch: under customization./ [00:09] Spelling OP. [00:10] ?, AthenaPvP [00:10] Multbrelch: sorry, I'm newer to Ubuntu as well. Let me look at it for a second. [00:10] AthenaPvP: dont download from anywhere. just install the ubuntu package from the official ubuntu repoi [00:10] what is the best/easiest to use vnc server for ubuntu? [00:10] AthenaPvP: install "chromium-browser" from the ubuntu repo [00:12] Multbrelch: settings > apperance. [00:13] AthenaPvP, there you can adjust only the most important colors [00:13] Multbrelch: what are you asking to do, then? [00:14] trying to use pbis to integrate to windows domain. When user adds printer it does not use their authentication from logging in, it just says that the print is held for authentication and they must re-enter their credentials. [00:14] k1l_: it's a firefox issue, then. [00:15] Any way to have lpadmin automatically use the credentials they logged in with? [00:15] AthenaPvP: try without the privacy badger thingy [00:15] AthenaPvP, I do a DISPLAY redirection (via "setenv DISPLAY IPaddress") from an old SUN (Solaris 2.5) to an Ubuntu box (14.04) and get strange colors [00:15] rest [00:15] test === renato_ is now known as Guest39586 [00:15] Multbrelch: aaand k1l_ take the floor! [00:15] vvvvv [00:16] ? [00:16] AthenaPvP, I tried xephyr and xnest but got only slightly improved results [00:17] AthenaPvP, the point is that text in a window has some very dark grey color on a black background [00:18] AthenaPvP, no I cannot modify the SUN cause this is by far too freaking === erick is now known as Guest22825 [00:20] Multbrelch: sorry, but I have no idea. [00:20] * AthenaPvP is a nub. [00:20] okay, thx a lot [00:21] hola drone [00:22] que tal ? [00:22] http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/utopic-proposed/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages [00:22] is this supposed to be down? [00:22] k1l_: works if I disable both badger and uBlock, but now there are ads. x.x [00:23] Hi [00:23] daedeloth: not that I'm aware of... They were doing some updates earlier.. [00:23] no apparently the version has reached end of life [00:24] AthenaPvP: should work with ublock [00:24] daedeloth: 14.10 is dead long time now [00:24] daedeloth: you need to upgrade to 15.04 and then 15.10 asap [00:24] 15.04 will also soon be EOL [00:24] yea old hotspot thingy I booted up [00:25] so, that's willy right? [00:25] genii: 15.04 is dead already. [00:25] k1l_: nope. I'm pretty sure ublock is causing the lag. [00:25] AthenaPvP: hmm [00:25] k1l_: or at least the FPS drop. [00:25] k1l_: how process-hungry is chromium? [00:25] k1l_: Repos have not yet been moved to old-releases, so it's still viable right now [00:25] k1l_: remember I'm the one with the poor processor, so I might just switch to chromium. [00:26] daedeloth: you are on utopic. but vivid (15.04) is EOL too. and you need to upgrade again to wily (15.10) [00:26] genii: but they dont get any updates. like the last glibc updates etc. [00:26] k1l_, ok, thanks, I'm hopign dist-upgrade will do it [00:26] daedeloth: no [00:27] * AthenaPvP goes down to click the text bar... clicks on GIMP on accident because the panel opens up. "goddamn it.." [00:27] it won't? [00:27] in that case I'm cancelling it... got 3 minutes till the downloads are done :p [00:27] daedeloth: you need to do the !eolupgrade (changing repos to oldreleases) to 15.04. and then the regular upgrade to 15.10 [00:28] daedeloth: on ubuntu we dont change the names in sources.list manually and use apt-get for a upgrade. we have do-release-upgrade for cli [00:28] k1l_: how process-hungry is chromium? [00:28] AthenaPvP: not more than firefox [00:28] cpu-hungry* [00:28] Eh, good enough. [00:29] How do I switch my default browser? [00:29] Nevermind. [00:29] Took me 2 seconds. xD [00:29] brb [00:29] k1l_, that's upgrading me to vivd? [00:29] ah, that's still online, alright :) [00:29] !eolupgrade | daedeloth [00:29] daedeloth: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:30] daedeloth: you waited way to long. and now things are complicated. [00:30] I've actually heard people say that chromium eats more memory than the latest editions of FFx [00:30] daedeloth: for the future: stay on LTS if you dont want to upgrade every 6 months. [00:30] I'm back. [00:32] Any recommendations on a youtube desktop app? I'm looking at the software center and it seems that none of them are updated properly. [00:35] Nevermind, seem to have found one. [00:39] senpai how can I make tixati my default magnet program? [00:41] dillon_, right click on magnet link -> open with -> look in /usr/bin for the program name and select it. click the "use as default" [00:42] thanx squinty [00:44] is it possible to install to lvm with the ubuntu desktop iso? [00:44] thanks squinty it worked like a charm [00:44] Kevin`: pretty sure, yeah [00:44] automated, that is [00:44] it's obviously possible manually [00:45] dillon_, good to hear :-) [00:45] reisio: obviously.. but the options for auto are greyed out and the manual options are missing [00:46] I'm running Xubuntu, but thinking about switching over to Ubuntu GNOME. Anyone have any recommendations / observations regarding GNOME 3? [00:46] is there anyway to set tixati so that when I close it, it will minimize it to the tray like transmission/qbtorrent and the other ones? [00:46] actually, it looks like the installer will pick up volumes if I create them before running the installer. that's fine with me and i'll test it now [00:50] Is systemd going to be required in 16.04? [00:50] i've had a 66% failure rate with systemd so far [00:51] It worked for me in 15.04 but had some weird timing issue loading X for 15.10 and I noticed I could easily switch to upstart so I did that rather than invest time debugging it. [00:51] skomorokh: i am not sure if there will be a upstart session still [00:52] k1l_: Are you sure that no decision has been made though? [00:52] skomorokh: you can look up what the issue is. use systemd-analyze blame [00:52] skomorokh: "just using upstart" is not a solution. [00:53] k1l_: I know, I'm being unhelpful by putting this off rather than figuring out what hit me and filling bug reports if that seems appropriate. [00:53] one of my failures with systemd either reconfigured the serial port or hanged the system completely (can't tell, no jtag). no way to debug that aside from adding print statements to the non-existant early init scripts :/ [00:53] k1l_: But in the meantime, I'm curious to learn if I have an upcoming deadline for that I should be worried about :) [00:54] there is an upcomming deadline. i am not sure if 16.04 will still support upstart [00:54] because that would mean ubuntu needs to maintain upstart for 5 more years. [00:55] could always use sysvinit, that'll be around for 5 more years =p [00:56] k1l_: excellent point re: lts [01:09] yo [01:11] yoyo === Guest1115 is now known as imrekt [01:13] so I wrote "df -H" and it tells me I have used my free space 100% which is 4GB but my MicroSD card is 16GB. You know what's the reason ? (I am using Raspbian which is a distribution of Ubuntu) [01:14] elisa87: please ask in #raspbian [01:16] elisa87: don't cross post, already answered you in #linux [01:26] Hey whats up guys [01:26] hey I heard ubuntu was spyware? [01:26] is this true? [01:26] yes [01:26] kidding [01:27] cat__: change to slackware, no hackers are skilled enough to use it, much less hack it [01:28] cat__: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2840401/ubuntus-unity-8-desktop-removes-the-amazon-search-spyware.html [01:29] cat__: that is FUD. === mj is now known as Guest49741 [01:30] it wasn't the best use of the word 'spyware' [01:32] does anyone here run the gba emulator? [01:33] dillon_: not for nothing, not real wise to use a closed source bittorrent client [01:33] Hey guys, is there a ppa with an updated version of glfw3, the one in the official packages is very old and doesn't support vulkan. [01:39] when I try to load the rom it will not output the video but it will flash for about a 1/2 second === grep is now known as Guest57419 [01:49] my emulator, visualboy advance, it will act like it is reading but all it shows is a white screen [01:52] I even tried 2 different roms and I still get nothing === andreas_ is now known as Guest42699 [01:53] Hello!

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:03] thankyou [02:03] That's nifty [02:04] path0gen: :) Welcome to our world . [02:04] The fact that Ubuntu is installed is a testament to something. [02:05] Never stop learning! [02:05] liking it so far. only issues ive had is with amd catalyst drivers for my video cards. [02:05] been on for about 4 weeks ish. acclimating [02:05] Did you get them installed? [02:06] It's actually a pretty simple solution but it takes a bit to find [02:06] ive tried it 3 times [02:07] each time, system crashed and I boot to a black screen with some colored dots in the top left corner [02:07] Are you using LVM with encryption? [02:08] There's an issue with something around grub that makes the encryption unlock screen turn up blank. If you just type your password in it let's you through. Happened to me on my 980's. [02:09] path0gen: Graphics; show us what th hardware us. Pastenin the output of terminal command ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ' . Then we look at what driver is loaded . [02:10] there is no way im going to try that again at the moment. its pretty tedious rebuilding a sys 3 times :p [02:11] but thank you for the offer [02:11] one thing i am so happy about is the lack of clutter. [02:11] and that everything is just.... understandable and verbose [02:12] !minimal | path0gen One can get real simple [02:12] path0gen One can get real simple: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.

Give it a whirl [02:29] i rebooted into my live cd but it doesn't have a reinstall option [02:29] it's not active [02:39] Is there any app to manage Ubuntu tray icons? === fginther` is now known as fginther [02:40] feneco: no [02:41] Ok [02:41] Thanks [02:41] What's your real question? [02:41] What do you mean? [02:42] Tray icons? Which distro are you using? [02:42] What's your actual goal? [02:43] to paint a self portrait, build a house... members of project mayhem do not ask questions [02:43] Ubuntu [02:43] 14.04 [02:43] The top menu icons [02:44] Ok, good luck [02:44] I want to reorder and control visibility of the icons showed in the top menu bar [02:45] Can you not right-click, choose panel properties, and then reorder them that way? [02:45] No [02:46] Not on Ubuntu with unity [02:46] Oh, right. I'm using XFCE. Sorry.

I've installed clang-3.5 and libc++-dev on ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but clang-3.5 uses GCC's standard library. Is there anyway to use libc++ by default rather than explicitly telling it to use libc++?

[03:18] trying to reboot [03:21] whats the most inappropriate ubuntu command involving the manual command [03:21] rtfm? [03:22] man touch [03:22] thats gotta be it [03:22] lol [03:22] why cant i connect to ssh or apache on my ubuntu server running a vpn yet i can access transmission and webmin etc from the outside externally? [03:23] path0gen, great one [03:23] ports are forwarded in router , thanks [03:23] Madhumper69, still a bit confused about the setup here [03:24] Madhumper69, doesnt it have to do w/ privileged ports and the VPN? === learnit_ is now known as learnit [03:24] i have a ubuntu server on a vpn connection. from the outside i am able to view transmission and my webmin page but i am unable to access ssh and my apache website [03:25] Madhumper69, youre serving from 80 and 22? [03:25] yes locally all works [03:25] externally all works - ssh and apache website port 80 [03:25] "from the outside" like, some other random external IP? but you cant access it on the vpn [03:26] even without vpn i cant access it i use vpn because my network is messed up i mainly used it for plex :P [03:26] Madhumper69, ok, its not what I thought [03:26] check the hosts.allow? [03:26] oh [03:26] all works locally, externally only ssh and apache cant access [03:27] sorry my english is not the best :D [03:27] sounds like possibly a firewall issue [03:27] no firewall is disabled [03:27] do u have a packet cap of a connection attemp [03:27] i tried changing ports on apache and ssh no go [03:28] no its my own home made server [03:28] Madhumper69, man, you shoulda try to raise those serving ports... your description is confuse - I need a diagram [03:28] ^ [03:28] basically i think he is saying the following: [03:28] he can access every thing fine Locally. As in, from the box itself he can access the services [03:28] SNAFU! [03:29] alright.. [03:29] yes [03:29] but everything remote is inaccessible. Remote meaning both purely external AND via VPN [03:29] yes [03:29] so the problem is: nobody out of the world can access that box [03:29] well remotly my transmission works and webmin works externally like from the outside [03:30] not apache and ssh [03:30] ok so you can navigate to webmin from both vpn and pure external [03:30] yes [03:30] "and webmin works externally like from the outside" <---- ??? [03:30] lol just go with it [03:30] exactly so does transmission [03:30] hes saying that some services work externally [03:30] but ssh and apache dont. [03:30] bingo [03:30] uhum.. [03:31] and the service that cannot be served are the standard 80 and 22! [03:31] is there a ubuntu/aptitude equivilent of: yum -y update --security [03:31] ? [03:31] yes [03:31] I've looked into: unattended-upgrades [03:32] but it doesn't look like you can call it on demand [03:32] Madhumper69, I suppose youre serving from an ISP line? [03:32] ICantCook: if you want to do on-demand, just use apt-get. [03:32] yes [03:32] can you show us result of netstat -tupan [03:32] its a home server [03:32] sure [03:32] and ListenAddress line in sshd_config [03:32] is it commented out [03:33] somsip: doesn't look like it has an option to only upgrade packages with security patches? [03:33] its in my house i locally connecto to vnc or use terminal [03:33] ssh [03:33] Madhumper69, rise those ports... and tell your users to "http.....:2518" and "shh on 6545" for example [03:33] ICantCook: http://askubuntu.com/questions/194/how-can-i-install-just-security-updates-from-the-command-line [03:34] Madhumper69, some ISPs dont allow priviledge port access [03:34] i tried ssh 33333 and http 35000 didnt do nothing same thing [03:34] privileged [03:34] Madhumper69, restarted the services and everything?... [03:34] yes in webmine i stop and start apache [03:35] Madhumper69, thats bad [03:35] what is bad? my restarting the service? [03:35] from webmin? [03:35] Madhumper69: just checking - you've got webmin exposed externally? [03:35] Madhumper69, thats bad cuz I cannot tell you what else may be wrong [03:36] yes it is working externally [03:36] :( [03:36] aswell as transmission however ssh and apache no go [03:36] output of netstat -tupan [03:36] Madhumper69: webmin has a bad reputation - it's different from your real issue, but you should read about the risks you're taking with this [03:36] Madhumper69: also, what version of ubuntu?

[03:49] Madhumper69: no take somsip's advise and forget about vnc [03:49] Madhumper69: when you know the issues, it's still a risk but you cant blame ignorance any more [03:50] right, well alot of things i can do in terminal but im still learning the UI helps me at times [03:50] Madhumper69: I understand, but it also encourages not learning CLI [03:50] Madhumper69: there is a nice #openssh channel, maybe they can help with ssh -X or something [03:50] yeah [03:51] i put my firewall down until i new all worked then i was goign to activate it lol [03:51] Madhumper69: which is backwards [03:51] haha thanks somsip [03:51] :D\ [03:51] but it didn't help [03:52] DarkAceZ: it clears it. It might fill up again but that's another issue [03:52] it did work, for a second, but then, when another log message came through, it returned to the 6.4GB file [03:52] well my monitor has 2xhdmi i could always use that for ui and from the outside use ssh that seems like it would be better for safeguarding my server [03:53] somsip: I believe I'm going to have to delete it, then reboot [03:53] I just don't like rebooting [03:53] DarkAceZ: then, another issue. What you've attempted is like sticking electricians tape over your engine warning light in your car [03:53] ok [03:54] DarkAceZ: fix the real issue, reboot if you have to. Sorted [03:54] thanks for all the help guys, night [03:54] will do [03:54] just for info, 14.04 users urged to kernel update for security reasons: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/trusty/ spread the word today please [03:56] !info linux-image-generic trusty [03:56] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo === crondd is now known as crond [04:14] If I make a new user, does all the installed packages transfer to him? [04:14] I basically just want to make a new user without the packages from apt-get [04:15] enzlbtyn: apt packages are almost always systemwide [04:15] enzlbtyn: the user will be locked in his own /home [04:16] enzlbtyn: what are you affraid of happening? [04:17] enzlbtyn: pretty much all software in Ubuntu is part of an apt package [04:17] lotuspsychje: I'm not afraid of anything, I just want to make sure that the steps to install my software is correct (in the sense of which apt packages to install) [04:17] that includes the kernel, the bootloader, the system utilities, etc. [04:18] enzlbtyn: every user will be able to use the packages, but has seperate /home and config [04:18] enzlbtyn: users do not, as a rule, have access to the package manager. they use the same software as you and everybody else, save for those that require the superuser [04:20] allowing a user to install their own software in their own space with their own package manager is not, generally, something you would do [04:20] I don't see why not? [04:21] enzlbtyn: number 1: unlike Windows, software is not self-contained into one folder [04:22] it's installed generally into a number of system-wide folders, with parts in /usr/bin, parts in /usr/lib, parts in /usr/share, parts in /etc, and so forth [04:22] enzlbtyn: somebody else should not be able to mess up your (admin) system by installing random stuff like this [04:22] Yeah, but why not? Why doesn't apt-get install into somewhere like ~/usr/ or something, and the to have them by default in the path. [04:23] enzlbtyn: do you want others to install stuff you dont know about? [04:23] enzlbtyn: because a lot of software uses absolute paths for things [04:23] why not? [04:23] lotuspsychje: I think he already stated he was fine with it, I'm just stating the technical difficulties [04:23] idk just seems stupid that I have to uninstall all my packages [04:24] enzlbtyn: why would you have to? [04:24] enzlbtyn: because then malicious users can takeover your system [04:24] to re-produce my steps, from a clean install of ubuntu. [04:24] enzlbtyn: wait, what are you doing? [04:24] idgaf if they do though? [04:24] derp_commander: i think he wants a clean user without installed packages [04:25] ^ [04:25] but remain his own installed ones [04:25] exactly, I don't want to destroy what I've already done. [04:25] whatever, I'll just boot up a VM. [04:26] enzlbtyn: well thats not how ubuntu works mate [04:26] enzlbtyn: if you want others to mess with your system, youl need another Os [04:26] thing is: if I made another user. I'd give it root access anyway [04:26] enzlbtyn: yeah, you'd either need a VM, or a pretty complicated chroot scheme [04:27] enzlbtyn: ... [04:27] I just wanted to sandbox each user. [04:27] can you please describe what it is you're doing before someone begins to think you're insane? [04:27] derp_commander: The different users are me. So why does that matter? [04:27] enzlbtyn: if the other user is also admin, when uninstalling a package, yours will be gone too [04:27] well it wouldn't be if packages were sandboxed, but they're not. [04:28] enzlbtyn: yeah tell us your endgoal with all this [04:28] what are you trying to become? [04:28] what are you trying to accomplish? [04:28] I already told you about 5 times? [04:29] I just want to reproduce steps from a clean install of ubuntu. [04:29] enzlbtyn: but what for? [04:29] To ensure I'm not missing anything? It's as simple as that. [04:29] But in general, I don't see the big deal about sandboxing users. [04:29] enzlbtyn: why do you want the user locked anyway? [04:30] Like, for instance, if I was to share a computer. [04:30] enzlbtyn: reproducing steps, like for a bug? === bestucan1 is now known as bestucan [04:30] Like to see if I'm missing any packages from my installation steps. [04:30] enzlbtyn: if you share a computer, just create another user the normal way... [04:30] enzlbtyn: what installation steps? something your boss gave you? [04:30] enzlbtyn: that's what the guest session is for [04:31] xangua: +1 [04:31] I'm still trying to piece together the point of this exercise [04:31] xangua: but he wants the user to be able to install what he likes :p [04:32] Yeah...no [04:32] lol [04:32] xangua: and share admin right [04:32] rights [04:32] enzlbtyn: first I'll tell you that's horrible security practice. I know from personal experience [04:33] I don't give a fuck about security lmfao [04:33] All users would have root access. [04:33] Lol [04:33] Do you think I'm using a fucking server? [04:33] enzlbtyn: second, on Windows you can generally install an arbitrary program to an arbitrary directory and it will work. That's almost never true on Linux?

Just bought an Epson XP-420 printer/scanner combo. It works. I installed the printer driver, and iscan linux driver on their website. How often do device interfaces work with the scan function? It seems the interface on the device doesn't interact with any programs or drivers in Linux. [04:50] NoCode: so if it works, what exactly are you asking? [04:54] So I heard if I mention 16.04 in here you guys heads will explode... [04:54] !xenial | dafaq [04:54] dafaq: Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) will be the 24th release of Ubuntu. Announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1479 - Discussion in #ubuntu+1 [04:55] derp_commander, Well, it would be nice if the screen on the device itself worked as well. [04:56] NoCode: are you sure that's a problem with Ubuntu and not with the printer? [04:57] lotuspsychje, well that was anti-climactic... [04:57] dafaq: the only thing will explode is xenial release downloads in april [04:58] lotuspsychje, likely. But I'll ask about it over in #ubuntu+1 [04:58] sashage, I'm reading your name like Peter Griffin saying sausage. Is that right?

[05:03] So are they moving to the new software manager in 16.04? [05:03] tonyyarusso: you know what I mean, gateway/vpn/mullvad/* [05:04] derp_commander, it's just a Tor node. There are tons of them it's not just mullvad.. [05:04] so the last 6 months i spent porting yumex to ubuntu is down the drain? [05:04] it's a VPN which is used mostly by unsavory types, I see no reason not to ban it [05:04] OpenSorce: what new software manager? [05:05] derp_commander, I read that Ubuntu was switching to the gnome software manager. [05:05] ah [05:05] ubuntu gnome has that now, but its not going to happen in xfce, lxde, or mate [05:06] OpenSorce: yep gnome software heading our way, see #ubuntu+1 [05:06] lotuspsychje, will do, thanks :-) [05:06] nedstark: the mate project has an... interesting relation to the GNOME project [05:07] like borg vs. the enterprise [05:10] nedstark: if by that you mean MATE is the Enterprise, then sure :-P [05:11] I'd put it closer to Japan's postwar relationship with the US [05:13] or maybe India and the UK === shroud is now known as Guest90247 [05:14] derp_commander: gnome has hidden mate inside gnome, like a little easter egg they call extensions === ToneKnee_ is now known as ToneKnee [05:14] whatever analogies we want to use, the MATE project originates from a dissatisfaction with where the GNOME project was headed, but it's still dependent on many GNOME components [05:15] !discuss [05:15] Want to talk about Ubuntu but don't have a support question.

It's probably just a compatibility issue in regards to how the drivers work with the device. It's a new computer. The scanner and printer *are* working, I'm just being picky. [05:24] django_: if by update you mean Ubuntu repositories offer version 2 and you want 3 (outside of official repositories) you're on your own [05:24] do i just use the install ubuntu alongside windows 7 option, will that put ubuntu on the unallocated space?

[06:46] Having a weird problem, that's probably really easy to fix, but I'm scratching my head. I'm running Xubuntu 15.10, and I've set my user ID to not require a password on login, which, in past versions, I thought, caused it to autologin. But now, for some reason, it stops on a login screen, gives me a login button. It doesn't ask for a password, but it physically requires me to press a button. Which is a bummer because it's my home server / [06:46] TV unit, and I sometimes reboot it remotely, and I don't want to get up and walk across the room, dig out a mouse and press a button. What am I missing? [06:53] markwalt: what changed between it working, and now? [06:53] markwalt: did you change login manager perhaps? [06:53] It's a fresh install on a new-ish machine [06:54] When I first installed it, I just accepted the default, which requires a login [06:54] Tonight, I replaced the older machine with it to be the house server [06:55] The older machine, and another one besides, I *swear* all I did was set it to not require a password [06:55] And they autologin [06:56] They aren't fresh installs. One of them, I've been upgrading since 12.x, and the old server I fresh installed 14.04 and have been upgrading it. [06:56] Unless I'm out of my mind, and I've forgotten something simple. [06:57] markwalt: Well I am asking because you could have been changed from GDM to LightDM [06:59] Hrm. I'm not sure what MDM is.. is that for Mint? [06:59] Oh, nevermind, I read what you typed wrong === Tronsha is now known as [UPA]Stefan [07:00] markwalt: If you're running lightdm (which you likely are) then have a look here http://askubuntu.com/a/272263 [07:00] I'm running LightDM [07:03] Hrm. That doesn't do it for me. I don't see the same files in /etc/lightdm as that post mentions, and I don't seem to have the command /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults [07:05] So, this install is from a minimal CD [07:09] I suppose I could *make* a LightDM.conf and put the suggested text in it. [07:10] markwalt: yes, if you read the entire thread it becomes clearer === jeff_ is now known as Guest8182 [07:13] Hi all, is there any tools/methods to records all commands any user had ever runned to a log file? Can I do this in the ssh jump/bastion host? All my users are forced to ssh into my jump/bastion host first, then through that jump/bastion host, he could ssh to other production servers. Now I need to record all the command users run, can I record all command in the jump/bastion server, even after the user had sshed into another server? === Guest8182 is now known as lekja [07:15] Nothing that can't be circumvented [07:16] Thanks hateball. I guess I was wary of creating folders and .conf files, but that was, indeed what I needed :-) [07:17] geirha: what I think is that, the user could only run ssh in the jump/bastion server. So I could record the command history on the jump/bastion server. But Can I record the command after the user sshed into another server? [07:19] hey - a live ubuntu host has tanked out this morning - my / is mounted as read only - any ideas? [07:19] ./dev/sda1 / ext4 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 [07:20] markwalt: So, success? [07:20] Yes! Thanks. [07:21] It's busily copying movies and music over as we speak :-) [07:22] markwalt: :) [07:24] hi [07:24] I think sshfs might not be the fastest way to mount drives. Seems like SMB is faster.

SMB is a pain. [07:35] Well, it is a pain, but I'm running SMB so my girlfriend can get files off the server. She's got a Windows laptop and a Chrome Book. [07:35] I've never played with NFS. I'll have to look into it. [07:36] markwalt: Well you can serve your content using multiple protocols [07:36] Sure, I'm doing that now. SSHFS for my linux boxes, and SMB for the rest of the world. [07:38] I love SSHFS though, it's so easy. Kinda slow on the throughput. [07:38] hia - how long should I expect fschk to take on ~150gb of data? 350 partition [07:38] huwjr: is it ext3 or ext4? [07:38] ext…4 i think! [07:38] ext3 [07:39] no [07:39] ext4 [07:39] but i get a warning about ext3 [07:39] huwjr: ext3 takes a good while, ext4 should be quite snappy [07:39] weird.. [07:39] still hours? [07:39] Hours seem excessive but it all depends on the layout, are there tons of little files etc? And the speed of your drive obviously [07:40] it’s an OLD server LAMP stack [07:40] so yeah lots of little :( [07:40] couldn’t have happened at 4am instead of start of working day could it :D [07:40] right force fschk i suppose [07:40] ffs [07:42] oh.. touch: cannot touch ‘/forcefsck’: Read-only file system [07:46] anyone ever seen the Software Updater GUI continuously pop up even when there are no updates? [07:47] i.e. right after running aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade [07:49] how can i get fschk to run if it’s readonly? [07:49] ;/ [07:49] huwjr: you cant, remount it writable [07:49] huwjr: you can fsck an RO fs, you just can't fix it [07:50] it’s not read only thuogh [07:50] then why did you ask? [07:50] because that’s my error :D [07:50] then it *is* read-only [07:50] if the fs gets certain errors, it will automatically remount readonly [07:50] /dev/mapper/ginormica-root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered) [07:51] errors=remount-ro [07:51] yeah i get that [07:51] this is generally a bad thing (tm) [07:51] hey folks. What's the recommended way to upgrade from 15.10 to unstable Xenial? [07:51] if you want to live dangerously, you can remount it RW and fsck it [07:52] or you can boot from a live cd and run fsck, which is likely safer [07:52] or usb stick or whatever [07:52] yeah thanks :) [07:52] will an install iso do? [07:52] i have one on the host [07:52] of course, as i said, you *can* check a RO fs, you just can't fix errors you find [07:53] sure if you can make it boot from it, i think you can choose rescue or some such [07:53] ta [07:53] i would try checking it ro first, see what it says [07:53] won’t it auto want to check disk at reboot? [07:53] if it's fubar, you might want to copy eveything off it you can in RO first, before you touch it [07:53] it all depends how f*@#ed you are [07:54] hehe [07:54] if there's really important stuff on there, back up what you can now [07:54] do i need to remount RW in order for a live cd/install disk to chkdisk ok? [07:54] no it won't be mounted at all (or shouldn't anyway, that's the point) [07:54] i'm ass-u-me-ing this is your rootfs [07:55] yeah [07:55] so live cd in, boot from that , check it [07:55] or usb yeah [07:55] there's almost certainly a usb image somewhere that's got just the bare needful to do this [07:56] be careful just letting it try to fix a ton of stuff [07:56] there's a reason it doesn't do that by default [07:56] you can very easily end up worse off than you are now [07:56] Move from 15.10 to unstable Xenial? Anyone? [07:56] granted that's not all that common, but when it happens, it sucks bigtime [07:57] again, i would urge you to copy off anything critical now [07:58] yeah have lots of backups [07:58] ty [07:58] ah, then you could just say screw it and remount rw, and fsck away [07:58] run with sissors, it's run [07:58] fun even [07:59] gareth__, might want to join #ubuntu+1 as that is the channel for upcoming releases [07:59] cheers squinty [07:59] huwjr: to do that, IIRC from long ago memory, it's something like mount /dev/foo -o remount or some such [07:59] just man mount and search for remount [08:00] i was mid shutdown [08:00] hi, i have two ethernet cards, how do i go about disabling one of them? [08:00] was going to boot from iso [08:00] meh, do it right then, it's good practice [08:01] seems to have hung at shutdown so probably needs turning off now [08:01] yeah likely trying to write to rootfs to shut down services [08:01] huwjr: btw, dmesg should have had info about what error happened [08:02] * StuckMojo heads back to bed [08:03] huwjr: 'gnight and good luck [08:03] thanks si [08:03] sir!

This means, there are still parts of Wine lingering around on my system. How can I deleted Wine completely? [09:51] kltrg, sudo apt-get purge wine then you probably need to manually kill the config file in your /home [09:51] Drac0666: sudo halt -p working correctly [09:52] cfhowlett, That`s what I did [09:52] kltrg, also might need to manually remove entries from the menu [09:52] lotuspsychje, let me check [09:53] cfhowlett, Judging by the (missing or not) icons, Wine itself seems to have been removed properly, but not the Adobe application I had installed. [09:54] kltrg: purging an app does not remove all the modifcations the app has made in the user's home directory. This is by design. The wine shortcuts are probably under ~/.local/share/applications somewhere. If you track down the .desktop files and remove them, the menu entries are likely to go. But it is so long since I've used GNOME I can't rememeber how it populates its menu... [09:54] kltrg, look for .wine in your /home [09:54] lotuspsychje, yes correctly [09:55] Drac0666: might be user related, can you try create another user and shutdown from there? [09:55] How do I free up space in /boot ? Everytime I'm installing updates it's full ?

[10:10] Drac0666: well im not sure what could cause it either, have you got devices plugged? [10:11] hey bstarek__ a few moments back I posted something about my WiFi it was a pastebin link, do you happen to see it still? [10:11] lotuspsychje, ye mouse, usb soundcard and keyboard thats all [10:12] Drac0666: that should not influence [10:12] it was a Makefile error [10:12] skweeek, dont worry about wifi, i think it is linked to your video/graphic card [10:12] I just reinstalled it [10:12] skweeek, worst case scenario, boot on a livecd and save your stuff [10:12] lotuspsychje, ye i think so either [10:12] Drac0666: did you try other ubuntu versions? LTS? [10:12] this was a fresh install I tried to run some old packages on which in suspect overrode something in the kernel causing the problem [10:13] Drac0666: you can file a bug against 15.10 also [10:13] but I have a Wi-Fi driver that's not being detected I posted a pace bend length of an error message that came out from a makefile that I was running with new drivers or patched drivers and it's up there somewhere and they said it awhile ago bstarek__ [10:13] skweeek, could be.....if it is fresh install then reinstall [10:13] lotuspsychje, brb gonna check something [10:14] pastebin link* [10:14] skweeek, whats the your computer model?

[10:17] bstarek__: still on 3 yourself? [10:17] Drac0666: you mean 30sec i hope :p [10:17] lotuspsychje, yes 3 doing fine so far (i hope i dont jinx it) [10:17] lotuspsychje: I keep on having problems reloading the old packages from 14 it had caused some problems with apt... first I couldn't get aptoncd to restore them so I tries to manually install them with dpkg and it causes the system to hang... I thought it overrode some of the kernal from the 14 packages over the top of 15 [10:18] skweeek, do fresh install of 15 [10:18] bstarek__: users are urged to update kernel on trusty real fast, as new security flaws are out [10:18] !usn | bstarek__ check trusty [10:18] bstarek__ check trusty: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about recent Ubuntu security updates.

[10:52] I see thanks :) [10:53] mcphail, should I try #ubuntu-server to? [10:53] It's a server setup. [10:53] tuor: no harm in trying [10:54] I am running a headless wireless server with Ubuntu and it is working just fine. The latency is a bit slow. I think because of the IProviders. [10:55] It disturbes me when they promise a service and they fall short of their promise. What a shame. [10:56] is there a ppa for termite terminal?

Thanks for the advice. [11:02] ralpheeee: maybe there are alternatives you can try? what exactly do you search for in a terminal? [11:03] lotuspsychje: am on a netinstall / mini and looking to just a run WM (i3)...something lightweight... [11:03] dont really want xfce4-terminal due to dependencies ... [11:04] u/rxvt the fonts issues drives me nuts... [11:04] ralpheeee: terminator, guake? [11:04] Heya guys a quick noob Q.. My server's dev sda1 boot partition is full and the whole server is down now.. Any ideas what I can delete in order to free some space? [11:04] NwS, yep. try sudo apt-get autoremove first [11:05] cfhowlett, is that safe? [11:05] NwS, yes. see for yourself: man apt-get autoremove [11:05] ralpheeee: if it's lightweight you want, there's always xterm :P [11:05] NwS: can you provide a "ls -al" from within that partition? but a "sudo apt-get autoremove" should remove some unused kernels when running that system [11:05] both are very heavy on the resources...(terminator is a one stop shop for terminal emulators...probably the best out there...but just heavy) [11:06] tsapii: :D [11:06] NwS, you can also preview the command with apt-get -s autoremove [11:07] cfhowlett, the server is so full I can't preview lol :P [11:07] I will give it a try [11:07] !info stjerm | ralpheeee how about this? [11:07] ralpheeee how about this?: stjerm (source: stjerm): lightweight terminal emulator. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.16-0ubuntu2 (wily), package size 24 kB, installed size 94 kB [11:07] NwS, apt-get -s autoremove will simulate the command - not execute [11:07] NwS try sudo aptitude purge ~c [11:07] Well the server is so full I can't run that [11:08] NwS: what does "the server is full" mean? can you put the errors in paste.ubuntu.com and show the link here? [11:09] lotuspsychje: thxs [11:09] k1l, here http://paste.ubuntu.com/15178916/ [11:09] can you show a "df -h" [11:09] ralpheeee: or the lxterminal from lubuntu? [11:10] lotuspsychje: yeah thought about that....last time i used it was not too thrilled with it...but waas a long time ago... [11:10] k1l, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15178921/ [11:11] NwS, yeah, you might the article I sent you useful. [11:12] cfhowlett, I couldn't run the command [11:12] NwS, http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-uninstall-the-old-kernels-in-ubuntu/ [11:12] ah let me check this out tyvm [11:12] NwS: its not /boot that is full. its the whole / [11:13] Oh, yeah noob here sorry -.-" [11:13] NwS: is there anything you can manually remove from that 28GB? [11:13] start with /tmp/* or so [11:13] k1l, I'm not even sure how.. [11:14] Okie MonkeyDust tyvm [11:14] NwS: like any data you know you dont need anymore. i dont know what kind of data is on that server. [11:15] NwS and in case you missed it: sudo aptitude purge ~c that's a tilde [11:15] NwS: you could run a "sudo du -hs /var/log" to see if it was caused by a load of errors spamming the log messages. [11:15] k1l, dang 16GB [11:16] ty for all the help guys, will try to delete some tmp files now and then clean the logs :/ [11:16] NwS: ok, that is way too much. "ls -al /var/log/" [11:18] k1l, auth.log ~5GB, btmp 3GB, mail.log 8GB pretty much [11:19] looks like logrotate is not working [11:19] Can I remove anything from tmp? [11:19] So I can free up some space [11:19] Not even sure what those files are tbh [11:20] sess_tonofcharshere [11:21] NwS: you *could* stop syslog, kill offending logs (or move elsewhere) then start syslog again [11:21] if auth.log is 5GB that indicates some badness going on :p [11:22] hateball, the server is 1 year old, never restarted and I guess I never cleaned any logs manually :/ [11:22] NwS: the logs should rotate [11:26] hateball, can I delete older logs safely? Like auth.log.4.gz (mainly the gz ones) [11:26] NwS: sure, you can delete any logs. Just decide if you want them first [11:27] NwS: I would stop syslogd tho, as the logs are gigantic, and freeing up space probably lets it continue writing to the logs [11:27] NwS: and then have a look at them using tail, if it's the same stuff being spammed over and over or something [11:28] hateball, sudo service rsyslog stop (and then start)? Sorry for being 110% noob -.-" [11:32] NwS: yeah [11:33] Anyone know about softwares like "MobaXterm" or "Putty" on Linux? [11:33] NwS: that also lets you kill the live log files, and they will get recreated when you start the daemon again [11:33] eahmedshendy: NEither MobaXTerm nor Putty are actually needed, though a Putty Clone exists. [11:33] eahmedshendy: What is your real question? [11:34] I used my ubuntu to download, then it stopped connecting to the internet [11:35] trini7y wifi? [11:35] eahmedshendy: those programs just replicate features which are built in to Ubuntu [11:36] Both wifi and Ethernet [11:36] eahmedshendy: just use the command "ssh" on terminal to connect to ssh [11:36] This is the second time it has behaved like this [11:37] trini7y is it a laptop or desktop, which ubuntu version, which program etc [11:38] Laptop, 14.0, transmission [11:38] trini7y 14.04 or 14.10? 14.10 is dead [11:38] trini7y: That may happen when too much connection are opened in parallel. It may lead to a lockup in your modem/router. [11:40] But i dont want to use 15 [11:40] trini7y: So are you using 14.04 or 14.10?

[11:48] i now have a expanded desktop over all four screens and can move the cursor from full left to full right side. but the viewport sizes/monitor positions are not quite like they should be. while moving from left monitor 1 to monitor 2 it's fine. but then in monitor 2 the whole desktop scrolls until the end of the viewport? and then the cursor passes into monitor 3. from 3 to 4 its like 1 to 2, all good. i just want to disable that scrolling but don't know wh [11:48] ich monitor config that causes [11:49] only the desktop of monitor 2 scrolls, not the whole desktop on all screens [11:49] any hint what i'm missing here?

[14:15] shubi try TLP [14:15] Linux dubi 3.19.0-25-generic #26~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 24 21:16:20 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [14:15] shubi: as MonkeyDust said, try TLP for a while and see if it helps [14:15] What is TLP? [14:15] !tlp | shubi [14:15] shubi: you could try the 4.2 kernel, that is the wily backports kernel. see the "enablement stack" on how to install it [14:16] !hwe | shubi [14:16] shubi: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [14:16] shubi my mistake, that's for the battery [14:17] shubi: and what video card is it? and what driver is used? [14:17] Is the Kernel you are talking about later than what is offered in the regular upgrade? [14:17] k1l: I am using the integrated Intel card. I don't know which driver. [14:18] shubi: its the 15.10 backports kernel. that is the standard now if you install a 14.04.4. but from a 14.04.3 you need to install that like its told in the linked wiki page [14:18] shubi: ok. so the driver is in the kernel from intel. so i suggest try ing the 4.2 kernel [14:18] shubi: http://m.webupd8.org/2013/04/improve-power-usage-battery-life-in.html?m=1 [14:18] I just upgraded from 15.04 to 15.10, when I boot up my machine now I get to a screen that shows "Ubuntu 15.10 ttyl" and "login: _" then it goes to another screen thats black with a cursor ("_" not mouse pointer) that doesn't move. And it never leaves that ... anyone know what i can try to get it back up a running? [14:18] That's tlp [14:19] Can anyone please help? I am trying to backup certain folders via rsync from an ubuntu vps to a backup folder on my mac. Neither the mac or the vps accounts are root, and I have root login access turned off on the vps. I ssh into it using an ssh config that I setup on my mac, and I'm trying to use ssh with rsync to perform the backuip, but I keep getting permission errors, not all files transferred, and so on. [14:19] Can anyone please tell me the best way to do this, and whether or not I should continue to have root access disabled? I've read multiple things on both topics and I'm still not sure the right way to do this, etc. [14:21] I did the auto-update before and it was actually louder. (The wiki says from 14.04.2 it will update to the last kernel.. no?) === james is now known as Guest80720 [14:23] maybe i'll just try 14.04.4 [14:24] nick james [14:24] DarkFiber https://insights.ubuntu.com/case-studies/ [14:24] try /nick james Guest80720 [14:24] 'james' is probably already registered. [14:24] shubi: you are mixing things there [14:25] shubi: please install the lts-wily kernel stack like told on that wiki page. if that is not helping we can easily remove that kernel afterwards again. [14:26] shubi: you will not get that kernel when running the regular update only. because it will update you to the 14.04.4 (the 4th "servicepack") state, but ubuntu will not change the kernel on LTS automatically [14:27] k1l: okay! so i just run the command for trusty and restart? [14:28] shubi: yes [14:28] okay! is reverting back a similar command? [14:28] Sorry, I may have asked my question in the wrong channel [14:28] yes. === Toledo|gone is now known as croberts [14:34] k1l: okay I'm downloading the newer now. [14:37] is wine/cinnamon stable for 15.10 yet [14:38] how do I remove it if I have an issue with it? [14:38] croberts what makes you ask that [14:38] shubi: exchange install with purge [14:39] MonkeyDust: im on 15.04 currently and wanting to upgrade to 15.10 and wanted to make sure they were in a good spot since i use those quite a bit [14:39] croberts, rethink your priorities. 15.04 is dead. that means NO security updates ... [14:40] croberts yes, 15.10 is stable [14:40] Did this change my bios loader to grub on my main hard disk? [14:40] cfhowlett: you make a good point i will update [14:40] MonkeyDust: thank you [14:40] shubi: no [14:40] cause I had linux on a separate drive - with grub only on that one [14:41] okay i'll brb [14:45] 大家好 [14:45] english daoSs [14:45] ok [14:45] k1l: i'm back. [14:46] !cn [14:46] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [14:47] why nobody talked here? [14:48] daoSs: #ubuntu-offtopic for chat. this channel here is support only [14:49] daos, ubuntu support. works like this: you TELL us your support issue ... [14:49] and then cfhowlett answers [14:49] i see [14:49] So far, it seems like the Fan RPM is somewhat lower [14:50] Around 1900 instead of ~2800 RPM [14:50] Thank you. I have one more question though. [14:51] If I update through the standard update app, will it change my kernel? Do I need to disselect the kernel option? [14:51] Since I got a version that is not offered in the automatic update as I could understand.. === xs is now known as Guest11355 [14:53] shubi: what version are you talking about? [14:53] k1l: you told me to update from that wiki page. [14:53] shubi: look at this pic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=14.04.x+Ubuntu+Kernel+Support+Schedule.png [14:54] shubi: when you install one of the 14.04.X you will have that kernel that it names and stay on that kernel no matter what updates you run. a 14.04.2 will always stay on 3.16. except you change the kernel-base manually like you did now to have the 4.2 kernel. [14:59] quit [15:05] is there a more visual way to git commits and branches in the terminal [15:05] than git log [15:06] k1l: if i update the "Thermal Monitoring and Controlling Demon" with the standard updates would I be able to revert it back? [15:07] shubi: you need to run the updates. for the packages in the ubuntu repos [15:07] Jakey3: git log --graph maybe? #git probably has some other suggestions though [15:07] * k1l goes afk [15:07] ok === Bnaya_ is now known as Bnaya === jamick_ is now known as jamick [15:09] okay, it's just i am a bit weary now that the fan is quieter - that it might go back to noisy (when i updated on my previous install it became louder). [15:13] shubi install thermald, to help your pc cool down [15:15] MonkeyDust: thanks, it is installed - and the computer is relatively okay (38-55) [15:15] I just wonder if I can revert updates if they make it worse? [15:16] shubi: laptop-mode-tools can help a bit perhaps too [15:29] I think I'm missing some repositories. I can't find for example canto and rssowl... === JuzToday is now known as Kernel === Kernel is now known as Kernel_bsb [15:31] hexhaxtron: these are external ppa's? [15:31] hexhaxtron are those ppa's? [15:31] Does ubuntu have some mechanism to prevent tray opening? I weirdly or by coincidence noticed my cd rom tray stopped opening after installing ubuntu [15:31] lotuspsychje was faster [15:31] hi [15:31] why is *!*@*178.162.19* banned? [15:31] Bernzel: maybe man eject can help? [15:32] svxf: #ubuntu-ops for ban questions please [15:32] oh god, that ban list :/ [15:32] Fuchs: ikr :p [15:34] Thanks, goodbye [15:35] Is someone here who used fedora before ubuntu? [15:36] lugarius that's a yes/no question, better ask your real question [15:36] lugarius: I did... but that was in like 2006 [15:36] MonkeyDust: do you know? [15:37] hexhaxtron what was your question? [15:37] hexhaxtron: you quit. I was going to tell you that canto was removed from debian, and thus removed from Ubuntu because it was unmaintaned, see debian bug 764758 [15:37] Debian bug 764758 in ftp.debian.org "RM: canto -- ROM; buggy, abandoned upstream" [Normal,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/764758 [15:37] i want to know why fedora is not so popular like ubuntu [15:38] hexhaxtron: it doesn't look like rssowl has ever been in our repos. [15:38] Pici: oh... but anyway is there some repository I should know about that didn't come preconfigured in Ubuntu? [15:38] lugarius: sounds more like something for #ubuntu-offtopic [15:38] ok [15:38] !info canto trusty [15:38] canto (source: canto): flexible ncurses Atom/RSS newsreader for the console.

[15:51] vincent42: go check it (ip route) [15:52] the actual profile that is [15:52] Pantsu: but it should only touch the routes that are related to its own interface , no ?

[16:31] zelozelos: yes [16:31] kewll, thanks ;) [16:32] i havent used ubuntu since version 10 [16:32] zelozelos: i always use wine for windows software or games [16:33] do you play nvidea based games, i have the geforce 540m, last attempt to use the drivers was catastrophic, has that improved? [16:34] what is the name of the package for the clock/calendar indicator [16:36] i think its just indicator, or unity-indicator [16:36] hi [16:36] ok good EriC^^ is there [16:36] hi [16:36] maybe indicator-datetime [16:37] bp0, is it not showing up? [16:37] EriC^^: maybe you remember me, i was the guy who had problems setting up his ubuntu on a laptop [16:37] hi all. Anyone know why I am getting an email from cron  when it seems to be successful, and the email only has partial output? The command I am running is redirected to >/dev/null so I don't even know why I'm getting this output: https://gist.github.com/MrMMorris/fdfac7e9a517446b8571 [16:37] zelozelos, no there is a bug, the times listed for calendar events are all off by 6 hours [16:37] EriC^^: so the problem right now is, that i can't move my mouse, and the display is locked to 640 px. [16:38] bp0, correct timezone? [16:39] shlant: you're probabably only redirecting stdout. put > /dev/null 2>&1 on the end of you cron command to make it redirect stderr to the same location stdout is going (which is /dev/null) [16:39] i want the (meta package) for wine right? [16:39] zelozelos, my timezone is set correctly [16:39] Pici: someone else figures it out. I want 1>/dev/null so I only get stderr [16:39] networkSettings: what was your nickname before? [16:39] thnaks [16:40] bp0, sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com [16:41] EriC^^: that's the problem, i forgot it haha [16:42] well the time is set correctly, and the timezone is set correctly, everything else is fine, only the items listed in the indicator's menu (imported from gnome-calendar) are all off by 6 hours. [16:43] networkSettings: so what was your issue? [16:43] EriC^^: i can't use my mouse, and i can't change the display resolution. [16:43] i mean before that [16:44] EriC^^: oh. i had an alpha version of some weird linux distribution installed, but after installing ubuntu it booted into an initramfs shell [16:45] networkSettings: oh ok [16:45] something like this maybe: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1473068 [16:45] Launchpad bug 1473068 in indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) "Events depending on a VTIMEZONE ical entry get wrong timezone" [Medium,In progress] [16:46] networkSettings: try another graphics driver for the resolution problem [16:46] EriC^^: i don't have any network connection [16:48] networkSettings then how are you here?

[17:46] What kind of access ? === dearn_ is now known as dearn [17:46] to be able to read and to clone [17:46] as it for git [17:46] Jakey3: type id to see if he's in the group [17:46] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on an Acer using a DVD. It gets a kernel panic in rtl8821ae_rx_query_desc which I think is related to the motherboard wifi. Is there a way I can work around this insanity to start installing Ubuntu? [17:47] he is in the group [17:47] can he see the project dir? ls -ld /path/to/project ? [17:47] no [17:47] networkSettings: cool [17:47] purplefrog: recent iso? [17:48] user2 cannot [17:48] I think it's a little old. My boss has had it for some months. It is 14.04 [17:48] Jakey3: you need to give him rx to the dirs before project [17:48] purplefrog: can you try grabbing latest 14.04.4? [17:48] i need to do it recurrsively [17:48] for all the sub directories [17:49] the subdirs inside project? [17:49] you need to do it for the dirs leading up to project === p is now known as Guest42859 [17:49] purplefrog: another way could be disable mobo wifi and install with cable at first, then update [17:49] Well, I'm not using the wifi, but I don't think there's an option to disable motherboard wifi in the BIOS. I'll check [17:50] purplefrog: if its for desktop use, you could test out 15.10 also [17:52] OK, I was using 14.04.1 . I'll try a 14.04.4. [17:53] We want long-term stability. The person who will be using this computer does NOT like to deal with environment sttuff that comes from stuff expiring. [17:54] purplefrog: ok stick to LTS and can you branch eth cable for install and enable updates during setup? [17:57] EriC^^: still the same problem [17:57] networkSettings: you installed and the wifi went away? [17:57] networkSettings: is it still uname -r 3.16? [17:58] EriC^^: exactly [17:58] networkSettings: boot the live usb [17:58] I already have the ethernet cable connected. For some reason the install DVD wants to enable the wifi too. The motherboard BIOS only has an option to disable onboard LAN (which would probably disable the wonky wifi AND the wired ethernet) . We'll see if 14.04.4 can boot without panicing. [17:59] EriC^^: ok it's booting now [17:59] EriC^^: done [18:00] purplefrog: ok good luck mate [18:00] networkSettings: type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:02] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/3q3f === ragnar is now known as Guest93362 === Guest93362 is now known as finitebubbles33 [18:02] networkSettings: try sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [18:03] EriC^^: okay, no output [18:03] where can I get a detailed description of each file in the ubuntu system?

It used to be (in 12.04) that if you clicked on an icon in the side bar, it would bring the application to the foreground... if you clicked again, or if the window was already in the foreground, it would minimize it. Is there anyway to turn this behavior back on? I was hoping to see it in 16.04, but (based on the beta) it looks like it's not there either. (at least by default) [18:43] MBach: so it isn't being installed on the buildd [18:43] i'm trying to get Terminal to take up the width of both monitors, full screen [18:43] EriC^^: ok it's done [18:43] MBach: you shouldn't have to add any of those packages to the deps, that's what the shlibs:Depends does, figures it out [18:44] you are probably right [18:44] I'll try to figure it out [18:45] EriC^^: was that it? [18:45] networkSettings: no, you have to remove all the lts stuff [18:45] MBach: just appending , qtav-dev to the line 6 of https://github.com/MBach/Miam-Player/blob/master/debian/control should fix it [18:45] EriC^^: so? [18:46] MBach: probabaly also want to remove the unneeded libs from line 13 (at least qtav-dev anyway since you probably don't want users installing the headers) [18:46] I have tried various permutations :) [18:46] Whitor iirc, minimizing by clicking on the the was never an option ... i guess it was made possible with a ppa [18:47] in random mode [18:47] on the icon* [18:47] EriC^^: umm it actually removed linux-generic-vivid (3.19.0.25.12) [18:47] networkSettings: 1 sec [18:48] networkSettings: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-core-lts-vivid xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-vivid xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-vivid libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-vivid:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-vivid:amd64 libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-vivid:amd64 [18:49] EriC^^: wf [18:49] lol [18:49] EriC^^: what [18:49] Whitor in unity, you have to roll the middle mouse button over the opened icon [18:49] networkSettings: paste it and get the link on the other pc [18:50] EriC^^: doesn't work...

[20:02] BluesKaj: those that appeared to me in additional drivers, in proprietary drivers, could those be the ones? [20:02] severalwordtraps: If this is a OEM driver install .. and that ^ file exists .. there is a uninstall tool to remove the proprietary driver gracefully . [20:02] severalwordtraps, yes, exactly [20:03] sure, i can update ubuntu, but how would that give me ruby1.8? apt-caches only shows 1.9 [20:03] severalwordtraps, there's usually oner that's recommended for your gpu , choose that one\ [20:03] phasor: wich ubuntu are you on? and whats the specific packagename? [20:04] BluesKaj, great! I'm gonna try both ways now, purge and the "Nvidia way", if i can figure out one [20:04] How can i get network working in chroot? [20:05] !info ruby precise | phasor this what you looking for? [20:05] phasor this what you looking for?: ruby (source: ruby-defaults): Transitional package for ruby1.8. In component main, is optional. Version 4.8 (precise), package size 4 kB, installed size 36 kB [20:05] Hmm [20:05] !chroot [20:05] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [20:05] trism: yeah, it worked > https://launchpad.net/~bachelier-matthieu/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages [20:05] thank you very much [20:05] severalwordtraps: BluesKaj If ya "purge" the Nvidia way will no longer be an option . [20:06] severalwordtraps,don't purge [20:06] My problem is that my /etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf [20:06] lotuspsychje: 14.04 LTS, ruby1.8 [20:06] and copying that didnt help any [20:07] phasor: youl have to install precise for that ruby version, aka 12.04 [20:07] severalwordtraps, thee's no need , nvidia will remove the existing driver duriong the installation of the new driver [20:07] lotuspsychje: ok, i'll try that. thanks [20:07] phasor: mixing versions would scramble your system [20:08] yeah i don't need more hiccups than i'm already going to get from this app [20:09] Bashing-om, never used the "nvidia way", we don't see that method on Kubuntu [20:09] phasor: just keep in mind, one day youl have to upgrade to higher ubuntu version anyway [20:10] And that day will be a year from now [20:10] anyone? [20:10] haha, BluesKaj, Bashin-om, what do i do then? I really don't know almost nothing about Linux, and just today i'm starting to learning about the terminal [20:10] shell* [20:11] aq2_: best to re-ask once in a while in one line and be patient :p [20:11] lotuspsychje: that depends on the client, hopefully they'll upgrade sooner rather than later [20:11] BluesKaj: " ./Nvidiawhatever.run --uninstall " If the OEM install completed . [20:11] severalwordtraps, like I mentioned above , indtalling the new driver will remove the existing one === mint is now known as Guest12849 [20:12] installing even [20:12] Blueskaj, and from the shell, how do I install new drivers for the G Card? [20:13] hey all [20:13] severalwordtraps: Well, not to know is not a sin .. upfront however, my experience with 15.10 is limited .. 15.10 is the new systemd initiate system . [20:14] I just put lubuntu on my laptop and I really hate lxde now [20:14] I want to switch it to enlightenment but how would I remove gnome, openbox, lxde and kde without blowing up my OS? [20:15] (The software I want to use doesn't have gnome/kde/x11 dependencies [20:16] severalwordtraps: you can check the drivernames from recoverymode/terminal with ubuntu-drivers [20:17] lotuspsychje: so i write down " ubuntu-drivers", find a matching driver for the G Card, and the write down its name? [20:17] m00tykins: you need a bse ubuntu, you can just run enlightment [20:18] bse? [20:18] base? [20:18] Well, i'm gonna keep trying now [20:18] m00tykins: wich ubuntu did you install at first? [20:18] Thanks everyone [20:19] severalwordtraps, which OEM driver did you install ? [20:19] lotuspsychje: lubuntu 14.04.1 [20:19] BluesKaj: I'm not sure, but i think it could be 361.91? [20:19] m00tykins: keep lubuntu as base, and install enlightment then use logout/login [20:20] severalwordtraps: CLI method to install drivers : ' sudo ubuntu-drivers devices ; sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' If you like what you see then ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . On a clean purged driver situation . [20:20] severalwordtraps, the ubuntu driver for your gpu is the nvidia-340 [20:20] Awesome! [20:20] i got the networking working [20:21] aq2_: what did the trick? [20:21] I didnt do anything to the file [20:21] BluesKaj, excellent. Now i'm gonna try it. Thanks! [20:21] Because it was already configured for connecting to my ethernet [20:21] m00tykins: also update your system to latest 14.04.4 for security reasons [20:22] lotuspsychje: what about reinstalling x11? and already done, just answering what I started with [20:22] Im doing all this because i had internet issues... so i removed my network manager and then realized that i cant download it without already having it installed [20:22] and my other computers are 32-bit [20:22] hi, suppose someone unauthorized has done a poison nullbyte attack from my ubuntu server, how can i prevent such abuse of the ubuntu server? [20:22] ribot: ubuntu version? [20:23] m00tykins: if you remove lubuntu, your gonna ask for troubles [20:24] Alright let me reboot and see if my internet works :) [20:24] lotuspsychje: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS [20:24] m00tykins: if you dont like lubuntu, install something else as base then enlightment over it [20:24] Hi all [20:24] How to run Google Earth on Ubuntu 14.04? Seems like it's deadly broken [20:24] so I'd need to reinstall the whole os? [20:25] it's crashing every time [20:26] ribot: mauby the the #ubuntu-server channel, what security measures you can take more then be up to date [20:26] Everything works! [20:26] !usn | ribot [20:26] ribot: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about recent Ubuntu security updates. [20:26] m00tykins: remove the lubuntu meta packages. then install enlightment package. [20:27] OnkelTem, install lsb-core [20:27] BluesKaj: I have it installed [20:28] ok, so not an os reinstall, just a long time waiting for apt to finish? [20:28] OnkelTem, hmm , that's usually the problem with google earth === gazzer96 is now known as Gazzer96 [20:30] OnkelTem, look in /var/log/syslog to see what's crashing it === silvian_ is now known as silvian [20:31] BluesKaj: nothing is there :-( [20:32] Is that correct? [20:33] m00tykins: not very long [20:33] BluesKaj, i tried ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall', and got this: [20:34] m00tykins: i can only speak for my experience, last time ive tested enlightment on 14.04 it was bit unstable and i was happy to fallback to unity again [20:34] BluesKaj, W: Not using locking for read only look file /var/lib/dpkg/lock; E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt ; E: THe package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened [20:34] severalwordtraps: Does apt-get update work? [20:35] k1l: can I do this from lxde, or do I need to do it from another de? [20:35] aq2, didn't tried it [20:35] m00tykins: you can do this while using lubuntu [20:35] Because sounds like your dpkg is broken [20:35] severalwordtraps: look at dmesg. is that hdd ro mounted due to errors? [20:37] ok, ty. lotuspsychje : my goal is to use it only to run terminology, since it's my fave terminal and, if enlightenment is set up correctly, does not need x11 [20:37] I want a cli-only system [20:37] is there a sphinxbase and pocketsphinx packages for ubuntu? how are they called? [20:37] k1l, I remember having see at /etc/fstab that sdb3 had an error. I wrote down on it "nofail" [20:38] aq2, so that's the entire line, right? 'apt-get update' [20:38] but terminology allows lots of really cool features, like playing video or music within the window [20:38] and having an animated background [20:38] severalwordtraps: Yes if you're logged in as root, otherwise sudo apt-get update [20:38] aq2, Ok, i'm going in again! [20:43] MBach: excellent [20:45] i'm trying to get Terminal to take up the width of both monitors, full screen. ideally i could persist that state and it would open that way every time [20:54] trism: have a look ;) http://miam-player.org/images/posts/miam-player_0.8.0_ubuntu_1.png and http://miam-player.org/images/posts/miam-player_0.8.0_ubuntu_2.png [20:54] Hi I m new here [20:54] MBach: Looks like Amarok on GTK :P [20:56] probably, but mine is way much faster and fully customizable :) [20:56] yohan: Welcome, and new to ubuntu ? [20:56] Yes New to everything [20:56] Thanks Bashing-om: [20:57] MBach: Faster. So it plays music at double speed? :P [20:57] !manual | yohan [20:57] yohan: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[21:04] o/...does networkmanager have ncurses [21:04] i thought it was nmtui but it does not work [21:05] ralpheeee: there is nm-cli [21:05] or nmcli, I dont remember the exact name. [21:05] bekks: ok cool..thxs [21:06] thinking of running just i3wm so just coveting some ground work [21:07] have not tried wicd in ages...so might give that a whirl as well [21:09] hello. regarding some basic sysadmin -- what's difference/advantage/disadvantage of wanting to assign sudo permissions to non-root user by adding them to `wheel` group vs the `sudo` group? [21:10] wheel group? never heard [21:10] consolejazz: What is the advantage of having a second user who possibly may break your system? [21:12] bekks: what DE you running? [21:12] ralpheeee: I dont have a particular preference, why? [21:12] consolejazz: ubuntu got a sudo setup. with using the sudo group. [21:13] what's th sudo user's default name? `ubuntu`? [21:13] i leave root alone and then create at least one additional `sudo` non-root user [21:14] with a non-default username :) [21:14] consolejazz: it's whatever user you added during the install [21:14] consolejazz: its the user you created. any user can become "sudo user" by putting him into the sudo group [21:14] consolejazz: you seem to be confused by root and sudo. [21:14] yeah, i don't get his problem..question [21:14] i cant make my mind up what terminal emulator to use for my setup with i3 urxvt font issues drives me nuts, exce4-terminal, too many dependencies...terminator heacy on resources...lxterminal was never impressed with it.... [21:14] bekks: i'm running nginx instance and will host a couple sites, creating a new user per site [21:15] for isolation and security [21:15] you also could create a group called wheel and let all their users be sudoers..?! [21:15] that's why [21:15] nginx user with sudo permissions?! [21:15] wtf. don't do that! [21:15] consolejazz: And why do you want thme to have sudo access? [21:15] k1l: not confused. i was asking what the difference betwen `wheel` and `sudo` groups was [21:16] which no one's yet answered (i don't think) [21:16] consolejazz: wheel is used on debian, sudo is used on Ubuntu. [21:16] consolejazz: Ubuntu uses sudo with the sudo group. [21:16] thx bekks! [21:16] never seen a wheel group on debian [21:16] centos as well right? (`wheel`, that is) [21:16] consolejazz: centos uses wheel, too. [21:16] wheel def on arch [21:17] consolejazz: ubuntu doesnt use wheel group. that is what people try to tell you [21:17] bekks: granting the website-based user initial sudo permissions [21:17] consolejazz: Do not do that. Dont. Ever. [21:17] don't do that [21:17] during setup process, before anything's live, then revoking the rights [21:17] NONONONONO [21:17] NEVERRRR [21:17] please [21:17] consolejazz: A webserber user should never have sudo permissions. [21:17] consolejazz: that seems to be a thing on other unix but not on debian or ubuntu. [21:17] sorry, why? i want them to own certain processes [21:18] consolejazz: They dont need sudo to own processes. [21:18] i said i would revoke their sudo rights after setup [21:18] I cannot find yet anything on CVE-2016-0787 for Ubuntu. Is it under works? [21:18] you don't need sudo/root for that [21:18] oh [21:18] consolejazz: sudo is used for getting root access. [21:18] consolejazz: you start the webserver with root permissions but the server as such is run as another user. the www-data user [21:18] just add the user too www-data group [21:18] hey everybody, ubuntu newb here. i need to install virtualbox but i’m only wanting to use it with vagrant. is there a minimal vbox install i can get? right now apt-get wants to install X, Qt, a bunch of libs and docs, etc., 281 MB of stuff. === Gabbo is now known as Guest60095 [21:18] yes, so i want to install some software as those (initial) sudo permitted users [21:18] roygbiv: Then you need to install all those requirements. [21:18] what u want to install? [21:18] bekks, that’s what i was afraid of [21:18] so they'd automatically own the processes too. then once all's setup, revoke the rights [21:19] synthor: i dunno yet :) [21:19] consolejazz: if you dont know, you dont need it. [21:19] i'm just getting in to www servers [21:19] sry, but that sounds so nonsense [21:19] consolejazz: a webserver user shall not have sudo permissions. Never. [21:19] consolejazz: There is literally no sane reason for doing that. [21:19] just create a user, add him to www-data group, and run an nginx instance for him [21:20] never give them root/sudo access [21:20] NEVER [21:20] nginx creates www-data group by default right? i'm confused by that naming convention because there's also a user `www-data` created? or is that for apache? [21:20] consolejazz: www-data is user and group. [21:21] if you need to install/Create stuff. you simply write shellscripts or python/perl, what you like and run this script with root privileges. this will do all neccessary steps of your config and that was it [21:21] every user got an own group [21:21] but that www-data user is nologin. which makes sense since you dont want someone to login on your system with that account [21:21] :D [21:21] fo sure [21:22] /bin/false to everyone [21:22] greetings from shellshock [21:24] Hello [21:24] nologin for `ssh` or what services exactly? [21:24] thanks for the help guys [21:24] Looking to findhelp with Ubuntu install that is very slow. [21:24] 16.04 xenial is so close to release [21:24] consolejazz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Nginx [21:24] 2 proc 4 core total 2.8GHz each. Using on AGP card (I think) on a dell machine. [21:24] synaptic package manager still has lots of bugs that need fixing [21:25] consolejazz: and you start the nginx service with upstart services. and not manually. [21:25] retrojeff: you should talk about that in #ubuntu+1 [21:25] From what I readon the net, if I can change my graphic card, I will not have a SLOW desktop experience [21:25] Ah, it seems CVE-2016-0787 is conflated with another CVE at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2016/CVE-2016-0739.html [21:25] retrojeff: then go to #ubuntu+1 and file bugs and help fixing. that would be helping [21:26] joehogan_: what video card do you have now [21:26] it wont let me join ubuntu+1 [21:27] Ben64, a NVIDIA Code i see is: 180-P00009-0000-Co3 [21:27] at the end it is a 003 [21:27] does thi shelp? It is an old dell machine I found awhile back. [21:27] joehogan_: run "lshw -c VIDEO" and paste the result at http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:28] ...but I did it while ubuntu was in legacy/csm mode [21:28] k1l: thanks [21:29] How do I find a terminal program on a fresh install of ubuntu? [21:29] retrojeff: Ubuntu 16.04? Didn't ubuntu 15.04 come out like 3 months ago? [21:29] joehogan_: What do you mean? [21:29] joehogan_: Ctrl+Alt+t [21:29] abetterfish: the release time is in the name [21:29] abetterfish: No, April 2015 [21:30] (20)15.04(th month) [21:30] abetterfish: 15.04 was released in April 2015. [21:31] I iwll try. [21:32] I am using a different machine. Th eSLOW video makes it unusable [21:33] joehogan_: AGP is an ancient technology ;) [21:40] Ben64, pasted === schism is now known as _schism_ [21:41] bekks, turns out it is PCI, a leap in technology:) [21:41] When I install a new app it doesnt appear in the unity menu until I log our and back in.

[21:43] hi i got a problem with python [21:43] dr_jamiryo, this isnt a python support chan [21:43] paste.ubuntu.com/15183715/ [21:43] ok :) === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [21:44] joehogan_: wow, no wonder. that card is ancient === mosene is now known as Guest77668 === tsapii is now known as tespi [21:44] Well, I have been a Mac person for years, and never dealt with video cards. [21:44] Can I buy a newer card that will work fine? I am a true newbie here:) [21:45] joehogan_: Which hardware is that? A desktop pc, or something? [21:45] based on the card, i'd have to guess that your whole computer is pretty ancient and slow [21:45] Dell desktop. Have 2 proc, and 4 cores, speed of 2.8 per core. [21:45] joehogan_: Which dell desktop? [21:46] What do you mean? Model number? I am not sure. Let me look and see what I can find. [21:47] precision 450 [21:48] joehogan_: then you have to look it up in the manual of that box wether and how you can upgrade it. [21:49] Ben64, I have the 2 page sheet on it. It says that I can use: [21:49] A [21:49] TI Radeon VE 32MB, AGP 4X, available in Dual VGA and Dual DVI configurations [21:49] AT [21:49] I Fire GL E1 64MB, AGP 4X, Dual Monitor (VGA and DVI or two VGA) [21:49] nVidia Quadro4, 900XGL AGP 4X, 128MB, Dual Monitor (VGA and/or DVI) === Guest77668 is now known as mosene [21:49] joehogan_: honestly, i think you'd be better off building/buying a new computer [21:50] hi guys, what happens if you have a few folders that are 'invisible' that route directly back to / ? like for example i type on this specific folder like so: /folder and it shows the contents of / DIR [21:51] Something called /folder would be a directory called folder in the root, because of the leading / [21:51] yes but genii i do not see that folder [21:51] in the / [21:51] I was planning on using he old thing o rregular desktop use. Too ld and slow? The processors are speedy. [21:51] Bitnova: Use ls -l on it to see if it's some kind of symlink [21:52] OK [21:52] Maybe as a simple server, no more I guess. [21:52] i'm trying to get Terminal to take up the width of both monitors, full screen. ideally i could persist that state and it would open that way every time === cortexman is now known as wtuf === wtuf is now known as wutf [21:53] ok genii thanks. for some reason it wasnt refreshing in nautilus === max__ is now known as Guest44159 [21:53] joehogan_: well you don't need a good gpu for a server [21:53] Whats the off topic channel? [21:53] abetterfish: #ubuntu-offtopic [21:54] Ben64: Thanks [21:57] genii, in my root folder i have a folder called root and it has a white cross on the folder, and i cant even cd into it [21:58] that is the root users home. you dont need that [21:59] Bitnova: That's good. It's the folder for user named root, which is priveleged and normal user should not be able to enter or view what is in their home directory [22:00] oh ok i see. [22:00] but is it safe to delete it perhaps? [22:00] no [22:00] don't go around deleting stuff [22:01] ok [22:01] Bitnova: just let it sit there. that is fine. [22:01] its just weird it feels like i havent seen it before. and i was busy with some script so i hope it didnt create anything there. [22:02] if you were running stuff as your user, it can't create anything there [22:03] well problem is i was running it as sudo Ben64 [22:04] well you shouldn't run things as sudo unless necessary [22:04] hello. I'm looking for a recommendation on a SQL client for Ubuntu. Any suggestion would be appreciated. [22:04] yoofoo: sql client for which database?

[22:06] Bitnova: nullmailer is in the ubuntu repositories, no need to install from a 3rd party site [22:06] When I install an app it doesn't appear in the app list until I log out and back in. Is this a known issue? Is there a way to resolve it? [22:06] yoofoo: Try freetds [22:06] Thx, bekks [22:07] yes but v1.1 is in the repo's, this script downloads straight from http://untroubled.org/nullmailer/ which the latest version is 2.0 Ben64 [22:07] !latest | Bitnova [22:07] Bitnova: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.
