[00:00] So what ubuntu version has qt over 5.5? [00:00] Phothrism: 16.04 will have it [00:01] And there's no way to get it yet? [00:01] There's a DNS leak bug in Ubuntu 15.10. Any time one connects to a VPN, the ISP DNS server is still used when only the VPN DNS server should be used. [00:01] This is a security vulnerability [00:01] !bug | opt1mal [00:01] opt1mal: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [00:01] please report it there against the ubuntu pacakge and mark it as security bug. [00:02] hope this bug doesn't carry on into 16.04 LTS. [00:02] opt1mal: does that happen even if you pick the DNS servers in the VPN settings dialog? [00:04] opt1mal: i.e. under the "IPv4 Settings" tab?

Looks nasty [00:08] popey, that might be it. [00:08] surprised it would happen again on a newer distro version === Phothrism is now known as Optiprism [00:10] ubuntu isnt exactly the best at backporting security updates... === MobGod is now known as Mob [00:12] e-vent: what? [00:13] I do not know how to simplify what I said [00:14] from debian that is [00:15] you can take a look at ubuntu.com/usn if you wonder. there is a CVE tracker [00:15] are there any advantages to upgrade from 14.04 server to 15.10? [00:15] datumhoard: dont do this on a server. [00:15] duly noted [00:16] I can think of at least two occasions where ubuntu either refused to backport a fix or was incredibly slow on business critical software [00:16] datumhoard: on a 15.10 you need to upgrade to 16.04 in the april-july timeframe. stayong on 14.04 you have 2 years to plan that update [00:16] apache SSL being the first one I remember [00:17] can somebody help how to install directx in Lubuntu? [00:17] e-vent: i heard those FUD a lot form other distros. but they could not prove it so far. [00:17] This wasn't FUD [00:17] starkiller: use wine? [00:17] It was a critical SSL bug a long while back [00:17] Debian fixed it almost immediately [00:18] Ubuntu didn't backport the fix for a very long time [00:18] what CVE? [00:18] there were a lot of pissed off bug reports [00:18] Honestly, I cannot recall [00:18] this was long before heartbleed [00:18] probably 2013 oor 14 [00:18] heartbleed _was_ 2014 [00:18] anyway, this is offtopic for #ubuntu [00:19] hey guys I'm having some problems with steam on linux 14.04LTS, and apparently is has to do with the version of glibc [00:19] e-vent: that is exactly the FUD i heard the last time. and the guy claiming it could not prove it. it was even i showed him it was fixed in the same timeframe like debian did it. since there was no fix fom upstream earlier [00:19] do you think it's worth upgrading to 15.04LTS? [00:20] i.e. are there any quirks in 15.04LTS? [00:20] sector_0: there is no 15.04 LTS. What is the actual problem you are facing? [00:20] sector_0: 15.04 is already dead. 15.10 is the latest supported relese [00:21] sector_0: Rephrase, as release 15.04 is EOL . [00:21] Might have been FUD but I am fairly sure someone tested it out as still a vuln at least for some time after the debian fix [00:21] But we are talking a good few years.

[01:27] 15.10 wily [01:28] use "systemd-analyze time" and "systemd-analyze blame" [01:28] I just would like to know what errors and how to fix any issues I may have. and I cant even do that right. lol [01:28] has anyone else had issues with right clicking in ubuntu, where it doesn't seem to register them accurately === al2o3-cr is now known as sleepy_al2o3-cr === Guest53689 is now known as mcadkins [01:33] mish41: you can test input with "xev" [01:33] Hey guys. [01:33] We got a new Ubuntu coming out very shortly? [01:33] I've got a new machine I haven't yet installed an OS on. [01:34] mish41: it will open a little window if you click or right click or whatever it will show the event in the terminal you launched xev from, can see if it's something with the application or xinput [01:34] bluefive: should be April 24th I think for 16.04 [01:34] Shall I wake a few weeks to get the latest Ubuntu on there or shall I install the current 15.10 and then upgrade? [01:34] wafflejock: i notice that every left click registers with xev, but only some right clicks depending where the pressure is applied [01:34] you could at least run in live mode in the interim [01:34] bluefive: I would either plan on wiping or wait [01:34] hey can someone help me with my bluetooth ubuntu headset a2dp sync high fidelity playback issue? it connects and doesn't switch automatically from headset head unit hsp hfp to high fidelity playback a2dp sink and trying to swtich it manually doesn't set the audio to high fidelity playback, it only comes over in mono instead of stero. Is anyone around that can? [01:35] wafflejock: You think it's more stable to wait rather than upgrade? [01:35] BRB [01:35] You recommend running live off the USB until then? [01:35] @bluefive, seems easy enough [01:35] bluefive: yeah well that or just install your home partition separate so you can pave the OS and keep whatever files you downloaded or were working on in the interim [01:35] you can use the computer, and install when 16.04 rolls out [01:36] What's wrong with the upgrade? is it imperfect? [01:36] bluefive: install no 16.04 as unexperienced user [01:36] bluefive: yeah just less likely to run into issues that can happen with upgrades and no cruft around from old versions [01:36] bluefive: install a 15.10. then upgrade in the april-july timeframe [01:36] it's so close [01:36] wafflejock: that doesnt make sense. [01:36] How come one says upgrade and one says wait? [01:37] updates get automated testings and do work. [01:37] Because both are perfectly acceptable options [01:37] whatever just personal opinion people config their GPU drivers or whatever and then upgrade and have a black screen, it's not super common but I would just wait it's just my opinion [01:37] a live-system is quite limited. [01:38] true, it is limited, but less limited than not using the computer at all [01:38] wafflejock: that is due to people loading stuff from "some website". [01:38] well actually I'd install with the idea that I'm going to nuke in a few weeks, probably wouldn't do the live disk [01:38] mcadkins: using 15.10 now is a lot more than limited [01:38] although I liked the idea of just setting /home as a separate partition [01:39] wafflejock: So you'd start all over with 16.04. [01:40] wafflejock: It's a big upgrade, yes? [01:40] bluefive: installing 15.10 now and updating after april will work [01:41] bluefive: I'm not sure between 15.10 and 16.04 just given how close it is to being released it seems worth it to me to start there, from 14.04 I'm on now it's definitely a pretty big upgrade [01:41] Which DE of 16.04 are you recommending? [01:42] I used 15.10 of Ubuntu MATE and it crashed on me only once time in a month of heavy usage. [01:42] bluefive: the one you like the most [01:43] bluefive: think that one is really up to personal preference, I wasn't a huge fan of Unity so went with Kubuntu for a while but have landed on Ubuntu Gnome now for a while, they all have their pluses and minuses IMO [01:43] What do you think of that one? [01:43] hey can someone help me with my bluetooth ubuntu headset a2dp sync high fidelity playback issue? it connects and doesn't switch automatically from headset head unit hsp hfp to high fidelity playback a2dp sink and trying to swtich it manually doesn't set the audio to high fidelity playback, it only comes over in mono instead of stero. Is anyone around that can? [01:43] MATE seems cool from my little experience with it on Raspbian but it is still pretty early days I think for that particular batch of work (know he/they just got some of the window effects like shadows working) [01:44] He made initially for his wife so it's definitely a labor of love. [01:44] He made it initially* [01:46] so uh when i type "gedit" into the unity search thing in ubuntu i get search results for "genital modificaiton and mutilation" under the reference section [01:46] with pictures [01:46] why?

[01:47] im not joking i had that shit happen at work today [01:47] with someone behind me [01:47] LiENUS: you might want to disable some of the scopes in the search [01:47] wafflejock, where?

[01:48] evening everyone. I'm failing to install vmware-tools on 14.04 LTS - has anyone had success with this? [01:48] LiENUS: should be in the bottom right I'm pretty sure so you can turn off various providers in the dash (believe it's in the Filter Results list) [01:49] er maybe top right not using Unity anymore and forget, but it's in the Dash itself when you hit the superkey to search [01:49] k1l, didnt see it on reddit [01:49] i learned about it when i quickly closed out of the unity search because dr eddlestone was talking to me about her day today [01:49] wafflejock, i feel like maybe i shouldnt be using unity anymore either heh [01:50] LiENUS: eh if you disable the scopes that's not an issue, the buttons on the left thing and hidden menus stuff sort of drove me mad though... couldn't deal with change :) [01:50] LiENUS, actually might have an easy workaround [01:50] install an alternate desktop environment. you lose the unity functionality though [01:50] or is there a better place to ask? [01:51] so it looks like reference is the only one i need to worry about is that right?

[09:25] ssh keys without password [09:25] Guys I've a silly problem: Whenever I install an application, it is not showing on ubuntu dash until reboot system... Using Ubuntu 15.10 x64 with Unity. Restarting unity also causes problems, force me restart computer [09:25] arcsky: if you add your public key to all the boxes you want to log in to, you'll be able to use the same private key for each one [09:26] arcsky: you put your public key on the server.

This is a security feature, and can be switched off [09:27] arcsky: just set "CheckHostIP no" in your ssh-config [09:28] arcsky: keep in mind, this might be a security issue [09:29] hi [09:29] is anyone online?

When [09:49] When I boot from usb stick and try out the Ubuntu it doesn't reach the hard-drive of the PC to find enough storage for the installation, only want to use the space of the USB [09:50] Does somebody had the same experiance ? === Guest5109 is now known as squidjacquard [09:52] hm === squidjacquard is now known as squid-jacquard [09:52] Marcells: what's the goal? [09:53] With the release of the latest Nvidia driver - 364.12, which has support for Vulkan/Mir/Wayland - should Plymouth now work ?

[09:54] Also is anyone aware if that version will be in 16.04 ? (if not i'd say Ubuntu 16.04 out the box will not be good for gaming due to lack of vulkan support) [09:55] yossarianuk: join #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 [09:55] ok will do - cheers [09:55] When I try out the Ubuntu without installing, it offers to install it fully. This is what I want, to install properly. But, when the installation wizard pops up it can't detect the built in SDD to install on the right place, but only see the USB stick as an only option [09:55] btw that driver can be used on 15.10 too.

So I assume there is no other way? [10:45] akhilesh: I don't know of any other way. What's the goal of getting the serial number? Why do you need that, out of interest? [10:46] and when you say "serial number" do you mean "model number"? [10:46] Marcells: maybe there's a setting in the bios you can change for the hdd like ahci [10:47] My monitor has an issue, so I need to get it repaired, the people from benq want the serial number popey.

Also there's a constant load of about 1.00 even though the server is completely empty and not running anything other than the core linux processes. I noticed that iotop shows ext4lazyinit [11:26] will this ext4lazyinit eventually end and reduce the disk usage? Or will this always be like this?

[11:54] https://hexchat.github.io/news/announcement.html read [11:54] the latst ubuntu 15 is using 4.2 as kernel and is unable to recognie the network card in a lenovo t560. is there somewhere a pre packed kernel for ubuntu that enables latest hardware? [11:55] hello, I have a problem with ubuntu 15.10 on an older computer. It has 3 ssds in it: 2 SSDS for ubuntu (btrfs raid) and 1 SSD for windows 7. From ubuntu, I wanted to install grub onto the windows 7 SSD, because the MB would only boot from the windows drive when it was connected. But ubuntu strangely doesn't recognize the windows SSD.... When I boot from an arch live system though, it recognizes the SSD just [11:55] fine! Am I maybe missing some drivers or something? I mean, kernel 4.2 is pretty old, maybe it needs a newer one? The problematic SSD is a samsung SSD 850 PRO, if it helps [11:55] cfhowlett^^ thank you so much [11:56] l4m8d4, its not a kernel problem. every 3.x+ kernel can handle sata just fine [11:56] julius: They are all SATA SSDs though.. what could be the problem then? [11:57] the chipset from the board would be interresting, google if that got support in recent kernels [11:57] l4m8d4: can you show a "sudo parted -l" in a pastebin? [11:57] and the ssd does not show up in the file explorer? (nautilus)? [11:58] julius, k1l: I am booted into arch linux right now - how do I paste on pastebin without a GUI, though? [11:59] l4m8d4: sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [11:59] :) [11:59] julius: The SSD won't show up on lhsw and fdisk -l under ubuntu [12:00] EriC^^ after the installation, should I change back the AHCI to the default one in the UEFI? [12:01] Marcells: no [12:01] EriC^^, k1l, julius: Here it is: http://termbin.com/fgjm [12:01] j [12:01] This is under arch, where it recognizes fine === zz_CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob [12:03] l4m8d4: hmm, only issue i could think of is that its shown as /dev/nve* but this is not the case [12:03] The 2 sandisk ultras are the ubuntu drives, the samsung is the problematic one (under ubuntu at least) and the sandisk ultra fit is the USB-stick I'm running arch off [12:03] l4m8d4: can you boot into ubuntu? [12:04] Yes, but if I shouldn't disconnect the windows drive before, I'll have to do it through the arch bootloader [12:04] My thinking is, maybe it can only detect such drives during bootup? Because last time I connected it afterwards === silviaP is now known as Reginleif [12:05] l4m8d4: that doesnt make sense [12:06] k1l: What do you mean? === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob [12:07] l4m8d4: it doesnt make sense, that its not seeing the samsung ssd on startup [12:07] l4m8d4: so it might be some mainboard issue [12:09] Ok, so , huh, strange, now it detects the drive! The difference is, before I connected the drive AFTER bootup, where it seemingly didn't bother to autodetect it - now I connected it BEFORE and booted through the arch bootloader, and it detects! [12:09] i suspect the bios/uefi seeing the 2 rad disks and not watching for the samsung anymore. [12:10] But shouldn't the OS watch for newly attached disks? [12:10] Because I've done that before on debian and it worked, so it might as well be ubuntu specific in this case [12:10] l4m8d4: you are mixing several different levels here [12:11] there is the mainboard booloader (bios/efi), the the bootloaders from the OS (grub for ubuntu), then there is the kernel which supports hotswap (if the mainboard and device can be hotswaped) [12:13] k1l_: ok, so do you mean then, that maybe the mainboard doesn't support sata hotswap and therefore, the kernel can't do it either? [12:13] maybe. but i am not sure what the real issue there is [12:14] what bootloader does arch use, is it grub, too? [12:14] the hardware has to swap hotswap hardware [12:14] you can't do that with just software [12:14] yes, the kernel can do this since some time now. but hotswapping is not the issue if the disk is not seen on boot [12:15] except the cables weren set properly :) [12:15] hot swap has been in the kernel since 2.6 [12:15] maybe even 2.4 [12:15] l4m8d4, you disconnected the driver before booting and its not a usb drive? [12:15] k1l_: well, in my case, the disk was seen on boot [12:15] only got good at 2.6 when udev came in [12:15] win 12 [12:15] julius: In the beginning, I connected the sata drive after booting [12:15] then it had problems [12:15] good idea [12:16] but is connected via sata or via usd? [12:16] usb [12:16] julius: Well I just expected it to work because I did it a few times on linux before on different machines and it always worked [12:16] wasnt btfrs experimental, maybe the samsung ssd doesnt get recognized by this? [12:16] l4m8d4: ok. so can we get rid of the "i disconnect disks"? what happens when you boot all disks and boot ubuntu? [12:16] the file system does not dictate the device being seen [12:16] julius: the drive was connected through SATA to the mainboard [12:16] l4m8d4, well...i would never use a drive that way if it wasnt specifically made for hotswap [12:16] it would still see the device, just not the file system [12:17] the drive is not the problem for hot swap [12:17] the controller needs to be hotswap aware [12:17] julius: Well, SATA specification contains hotswap [12:17] l4m8d4, dont do it [12:17] yes, but not all controllers support it [12:17] UEFI is pissing me off, anyone here have a good understanding of it that might be able to help me? [12:17] ikonia is right, thats where manufactors can dig into your pocket once more [12:18] julius, ikonia: Well, let's just say then that it's the controller's fault, ok? ;) [12:18] ive got a encrypted lvm that was created by a debian install, inside that lvm there a 100gb partition free for ubuntu....but how do i encrypt the partition for the ubuntu installer?

Any idea? [12:19] a logical volume i meant [12:19] julius: then it's already encypted [12:19] NotYouTu: maybe if you explain whats going on? whats your end goal?

[12:20] ikonia, the ubuntu installer sees: /dev/sda5 which is the partition containing the lvm, it got a size: but used is unknown. so i need to make it readable by ubuntu [12:21] julius: you can't do that [12:21] i.e. one that doesn't drag in half a desktop? [12:21] EriC^^ SATA Operation / Disabled -or- ACHI -or- RAID On --- latter is chosen currently [12:21] lotuspsychje, to keep it simple, I want things the way I've had them for years. A small lubuntu install on the laptop, and a separate Ubuntu install (that's fully encrypted) that has /boot on USB. With USB in it should boot to Ubuntu, without USB it should boot straight to Lubuntu [12:21] ikonia, ah shit [12:21] Marcells: try disabled then [12:21] julius: you'd need to import the volume group for ubuntu to be aware of the volume group [12:21] julius: please don't swear, there is no need for it [12:21] sorry [12:21] ok, import was vgchange -ay iirc [12:21] lotuspsychje, I had the encrypted Ubuntu install working correctly (that took a while), once I installed lubuntu... USB key no longer works [12:21] but then will ubuntu ask me for a password? [12:21] julius: thats just activating it [12:22] julius: no, [12:22] NotYouTu: why exactly you want to dualboot 2 ubuntu's? [12:23] lotuspsychje, this is my travel laptop, I don't actually use the first install, it's there for things like going through security and they want to see it work or inspect it [12:23] lotuspsychje, I've used a setup like this for years, but now with UEFI I cannot get it to work [12:23] NotYouTu: you could install ubuntu and lubuntu-desktop and switch from login? [12:23] lotuspsychje, no, that's not what I want [12:24] julius, ikonia EriC^^ : BTW, thanks for your help [12:24] lotuspsychje, I don't want the Ubuntu install to even be an option without the USB drive [12:24] any idea what the root password is for the 15.10 live install? i would like to run "vgchange -ay" [12:25] im looking at the installer, not the livecd running or something [12:25] its no password set, or its ubuntu. but you should use sudo anyway [12:25] so sudo is really not a option [12:26] ah, setting it manually works [12:30] ok looks like the program i wanted to install (jenkins) will be able to use a headless JRE instead === ross is now known as Guest25611 [12:35] ikonia, did you say that its impossible to install ubuntu to a already existing ecrypted lvm? [12:37] do anyone know a page where i can put my outputs and send the link. i doesn't want to paste the logs here. guess its to much text ^^ [12:37] so, no UEFI guru's? [12:38] komakurt, paste.ubuntu.com [12:41] i can't seem to find anything, I probably just dont know the right terms to search or maybe its not possible.. but is there a way to create a persistent ssh connection but work with local shell and intermittently execute a cmd on the remote shell via an alias like 'remoteshell ls'. [12:42] so i dont have to keep reconnecting or switching screens [12:42] Hi everyone I have a new situation that I have never encountered in my quest to master Ubuntu. I have updates but get a message that /boot is out of space. I have looked and removed some of the older associated files like initrd, abi-, etc. What I would like to learn is the command I need to run to have grub update so it knows those items are no longer there? [12:43] bucky1232: maybe the #openssh guys might know more of this [12:43] good call, thanks Ill try there [12:43] gee, now i'm dragging the whole caboodle in again by installing wine [12:43] MelRay: clean your system with bleachbit, free up some space [12:43] MelRay: can you please run a "df -h" and show the output in paste.ubuntu.com [12:43] i dont suppose there's a headless wine? [12:44] although somewhat less optimistic since someone wasn't like 'yeah.. thats called xyz RTFM' [12:44] TomyLobo: no [12:44] k1l: I will but I know boot is now at 45% full.. [12:45] MelRay: just grabbing some basics to get an overview [12:45] Hello! I am using lubuntu 16.04 beta1 and need unison-2.40.x and not 2.48.x, which is included in 16.04. How can i install 2.40.x? Which source can I use? [12:45] MelRay: next things are "ls -alh /boot" . after that a "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" to let apt install the updates it stopped because of the full disk [12:45] omfe: join #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 please [12:46] k1l: Here is the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/15471807/ [12:46] Thanks! I will do it! over! [12:46] well i hope i can at least run console apps on it without a display server [12:46] k1l: Awesome thank you for your help! [12:47] TomyLobo: are your sure there are no linux console apps for the same task? [12:48] k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15471815/ [12:48] MelRay: ok. now run the update with the apt commands again. [12:49] MelRay: after that we need to look out for the old kernel packages you now removed the file. but the packages are still marked as installed [12:51] k1l: Ok I had unmet dependencies see my pastebin... I presume this is due to the packages still being marked as installed? http://paste.ubuntu.com/15471827/ [12:52] MelRay: did you run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade"? [12:52] k1l: Yes that was where I got the unmet dependencies message [12:52] please show the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" [12:54] k1l: Ok ran it again and got the same thing... just a second [12:55] kil: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15471856/ [12:57] MelRay: ok, that looks ok. some people have the -updates and the -security disabled and get that error. [12:57] MelRay: "sudo apt-get install -f" [12:57] k1l: You beat me to it :-) Was going to ask that... [13:01] I am a bit confused to use 64-bit or 32-bit distro on my netbook. I have an Intel Atom N2600 + 2 GB RAM. What is your suggestion? [13:01] k1l: Ok the command did the force install...should I reboot? [13:02] MelRay: no, wiat. [13:02] MelRay: please show a "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" [13:02] k1l: K [13:03] gnu-ce: its 64bit cpu. so use 64bit os [13:03] k1l_: thanks [13:03] k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15471901/ [13:04] k1l_: is not important chipset or bios? [13:05] MelRay: sudo apt purge linux-image-4.2.0-16-generic linux-image-4.2.0-18-generic linux-image-4.2.0-22-generic === Boscop_ is now known as Boscop [13:05] gnu-ce: no, the cpu [13:05] thanks again. [13:07] k1l: Completed command [13:08] MelRay: please show a "dpkg -l | grep linux-headers" [13:09] k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15471928/ [13:11] MelRay: remove those old packages from the kernels that are even not isntalled anymore [13:11] k1l: Ok I use the purge command like you showed me? [13:11] Howdy all [13:11] MelRay: yes [13:12] k1l: Ok.. [13:17] k1l: Got it done [13:18] hello, what is specific disadvantage of disabling swap space on a huge system. I have 256G memory on the system. I configure swapiness to 3. but system is swapping sometimes although I have available memory on the system. So I'm thinking turning off swap with swapoff -a, or do you have another suggestion? [13:19] newbsduser: you on an ssd also? [13:19] !swap | newbsduser [13:19] newbsduser: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [13:19] newbsduser: there are some apps that use swap, even if no needed, so a small swap partition is recommended [13:19] newbsduser: under some circumstances having zero swap is a bad idea [13:19] newbsduser: I'm on a 16GB system, no swap, no issues. But it depends on apps also === zz_CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob [13:20] e.g. with zero swap, under some circumstances the swap daemon can go into 100% cpu utilisation making the system unusable as it looks for swap space [13:20] There's the option of using zram [13:20] newbsduser: IMO should always have a small amount (I have 1GB swap on my 16GB laptop) [13:21] newbsduser, it's kind of a break-even. there is a small overhead to using swap but there are advantages [13:21] popey, i go for 5gb with 16gb ram [13:22] i'd recommend reducing swappiness to at least 10 [13:22] or 1 if using ssd [13:25] i intentionally push thing out to swap. there's no need for them to be in memory if they are not going to be used [13:25] things [13:28] hi guys [13:29] ola [13:29] i have a little problem over here ;) [13:29] i updated my kernel to 3.19.0-56-generic, and now my synaptics driver won't work :( === fluub is now known as Fluub [13:30] custom module? [13:30] Hello I have a sound problem with my games (dota, minecraft) I do have sound with my mp3 and browser but not with games. [13:30] what do you mean by that? [13:30] vale === lopes is now known as Guest21386 [13:31] I updated pavucontrol but it did not fix it. If you could redirect me toward helps I would be very thankful. [13:31] some kernel modules are not compiled with the kernel, they are compiled separately. when you upgrade the kernel you have to recompile the module. not saying this is the problem, just checking [13:31] hola dorne [13:31] hola drone [13:32] check the output of the dmesg program [13:32] Guest21386, english please [13:33] hi, i have a slogan and want to see it in all fonts i have installed so i can compare the fonts and see which i like most for the slogan, is there an app that lists all fonst with a custom text in that font? [13:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/15472025/ [13:34] good idea Fiequae [13:34] All fonts ? How many ? [13:34] which program for creation ubuntu restore point is best solution? [13:35] Systemback or maybe something else? [13:35] !backup | am_ [13:35] am_: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [13:36] am_: the recoverymode can also fix your system [13:36] Fluub: well probably a few hundred fonts... i just want to scroll through and have the same text all fonts or something like that [13:36] Fiequae: think you more need a logo designer online for that [13:37] Do you have the font files Fiequae ? [13:37] Fiequae, font-manager will do it [13:37] well there is https://www.google.com/fonts i'll use that if there is no native app for that [13:37] phil42: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15472025/ [13:37] cfhowlett: where do i input the text? [13:38] Fiequae, fire it up, should be pretty intuitive [13:38] no, it's totally confusing [13:38] lotuspsychje, hm there is no Systemback app in the list) [13:38] where is the text input field? [13:38] i'm not kidding, i cannot find it [13:39] but i can see another variants [13:39] Fiequae: fontmatrix might be good [13:39] EriC^^: eriiiiic :D [13:39] Pici: i'll try that === czman is now known as czman_ [13:42] Hello all [13:43] I am trying to use grep to locate all of the files in the /etc directory that contain the string eth0, Does anyone know the code to put into terminal [13:43] Hi [13:44] smelling information engineering homework here :DD [13:44] Is is possible to have persistent live system over PXE ? [13:44] for eg by using NBD or NFS ? [13:44] PHOTO_OP: man grep [13:44] touchpad, i see a few things that are unfamiliar to me, i don't see anything specific [13:45] what would be the code to enter? [13:45] I try already with NFS by create on root fs a casper-rw loop file but it seams that is ingored by ubuntu [13:45] and thank you btw [13:45] phil42: is there a way to restore the system before the update [13:46] PHOTO_OP: try "man grep" [13:46] PHOTO_OP: grep -R "eth0" /etc --> see: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-search-find-file-for-text-string/ [13:46] ty mini [13:48] touchpad, probably. do you see a list when you boot up? [13:48] one of my computers has locked itself at 100mb instead 1000mb on the ethernet card [13:48] any idea why it would do that? [13:48] ty all [13:49] crazyhorse18: dodgy cable? [13:49] man grep then what after that.. Sorry I am really new to this [13:49] popey: oh it could be the cable? yeah i suppose i could swap it out === MrXXIV___ is now known as MrXXIV [13:51] popey: hahahaha [13:51] that was it! [13:51] never thought that.. i thought it was software [13:51] crazyhorse18: WOOOOT! [13:52] files were going to take 38 minutes to copy.. now 2 minutes [13:52] fsr my mother cannot connect to our wifi. I tried nmcli and that didn't work... any ideas? I don't think wifi is blocked though. [13:53] crazyhorse18: lucky guess ㋛ [13:55] hi [13:55] Network settings say she's connected to our wifi... [13:55] so I dunno what's going on. [13:55] :( [13:56] anywhone plays agar [13:56] Hey, I am having a weird problem, All my downloads are stuck at 60kbps download speeds :-( [13:57] Although I have a good INTERNET connection [13:57] Nvm figured it out. [14:01] Titan_king: What application are you using to download the files ? [14:02] its the same everywhere from updates in terminal to dwnloads in firefox [14:02] reached your cap? [14:02] Titan_king: you sure your isp doesnt limit you? [14:02] nope [14:03] everything is fine in my phone [14:03] Thibaut120094: Also using WiFi on your phone ? [14:03] yeah [14:03] Titan_king: Hmm [14:03] Even switching off wifi there does not help [14:04] Titan_king: ubuntu version and wifi chipset? [14:04] ubutu 15 with realtek 8723be [14:05] stc: yes :P [14:05] Titan_king: you might try another firmware for realtek perhaps [14:05] !realtek | Titan_king [14:05] Titan_king: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [14:05] how do I do that lotuspsychje ? [14:05] Thibaut120094: Hehe, oops. ;) [14:06] Hey guys, I've installed Ubuntu GNOME in my other pc now it is unable to connect to the wireless network. How can I fix that? [14:06] hi I'm having issues with port forwarding. [14:06] gallo_mobile: try the #netfilter or ##networking guys [14:06] i set the ports in my router but app in ubuntu still show "port is closed" [14:06] thanks [14:06] Titan_king: have you checked for errors/retry counts on the wifi interface? Have you checked the current bit-rate on the Wifi link itself? Use "iwconfig" [14:07] TJ-, How do I check for errors [14:07] Titan_king: in a terminal run "iwconfig". Look at the "invalid" or "retries" values [14:07] Titan_king: they should be close to zero (0) [14:07] nope.. everything is fine [14:08] Titan_king: and the bit-rate should be high (54 Mbp/s or higher) [14:08] TJ-, Invalid misc:6 [14:08] TJ-, except everything is as you said [14:09] Titan_king: that's acceptable. How about the Link Quality ? [14:09] TJ- 70/70 [14:09] Titan_king: Good. so you can move on to analysing other possibilities [14:09] Titan_king: next; do you control the Wifi router the PC is connected to - is it your home router for example? [14:10] TJ-, Yes, It is in my house beside me [14:10] hello? [14:10] pearce: yes? [14:11] thanks for your answer [14:11] Titan_king: good - that means there's unlikely to be some router-set traffic limitations [14:11] now i want to do something about my computer [14:11] TJ-, yes [14:11] Titan_king: ok; install a diagnostic tool that can monitor all connections. "sudo apt-get install iftop" [14:12] TJ-, installed [14:12] Titan_king: then, in a terminal do "sudo iftop -i " e.g. "sudo iftop -i wlan0" [14:13] for example,i want to do make a map on ubuntu [14:13] Titan_king: then use a browser or something to hit several large external HTTP services at the same time, maybe try to start multiple downloads and then check what iftop reports as the total throughput of the Rx side [14:13] and the map for the android.. [14:13] TJ-, one sec... [14:13] Titan_king: if each download seems limited to 60Kbp/s that would indicate some per-connection traffic shaping [14:14] sorry for distub.. [14:14] Titan_king: if the overall interface is limited to that, it suggests a connection throttle, either on the PC or the Wifi link (assuming your 'phone is currently not experiencing the same issue on the same network) [14:14] !details | pearce [14:14] pearce: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [14:14] pearce: a map of what? [14:15] TJ-, started downloading [14:15] ok thanks ,just for my hometown like the googlemap [14:15] TJ-, What am I supposed to look For [14:15] Titan_king: watch the Rx bitrates look for signs of the limiting you reported [14:16] Titan_king: if you've got multiple downloads going then either the entire connection Rx will look limited, or each connection Rx will look limited [14:16] pearce: find your home on google maps and make an ubuntu screenshot of it [14:17] yeah,thank you very much [14:17] Titan_king: in the per-connection lists, the Rx is the <= lines [14:17] TJ-, bitrates are on the right side right? it shows 505kb [14:18] Titan_king: yes, bottom-right is the interface rates [14:19] MonkeyDust [14:19] lotuspsychje [14:19] TJ-, Download speeds of 2 downloads(Which I Started) sum up to be around 60 kbps [14:20] Titan_king: ok, so 505Kb/s ~= 50MB/s [14:20] Titan_king: 60 Kb/s ~= 7MB/s [14:21] Is there some program like Apples's "Disk Utility" to manage disks? [14:22] gparted [14:22] TJ-, I dont understand [14:22] Titan_king: check "iwconfig" again now; have the retry/invalid counts increased at all/much? [14:22] plasmoduck is disk utility a partitioner? [14:23] Yes [14:23] Also shows disk usage info [14:23] TJ-, All the download rates add to be around 60 [14:23] plasmoduck ok, then gparted, as genii suggested [14:23] Titan_king: if the overall is 505Kb/s on the wifi link are you able to connect the PC by wire to the router and do the test again - if you get the same number then the problem is on the router/ISP side, not your PC [14:24] TJ-: but that would not explain why he gets full speed on phone [14:24] plasmoduck, also look at "Disks" app, it does partitioning and some disk health checks a la Disk Utility [14:25] lotuspsychje: maybe but we don't have evidence for that as yet. Best to elliminate variables from what we have control of, first [14:25] TJ-, only invalid misc changed [14:25] Titan_king: did it change by much? [14:25] TJ-, grew from 6 to 14 === kubuntu is now known as stc [14:26] Titan_king: that suggests there may be some light interference on the frequency, but for comparison here's mine from an interface that has been running a few days: "Tx excessive retries:6061 Invalid misc:2582 Missed beacon:0" [14:26] Titan_king: so I wouldn't worry about 14 :) [14:26] TJ-, yes :-) [14:26] Titan_king: my RX side is "Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0" [14:27] TJ-, Same here [14:27] Titan_king: so, like I say, you need to compare against a wired connection to the same PC to try to reduce the problem area [14:27] all, I'm running 15.10 on a Lenovo Thinkstation. Just about every morning, I come in to a frozen system. Screens won't wake up, won't respond to pings, etc. Two questions: (1) journalctl --until=today shows nothing...it seems that when I reboot the system, the journal database is cleared. Any way to access old logs? and (2) any ideas what might cause this and how to troubleshoot? [14:27] TJ-, Wired is absolutely fine [14:27] hey all... i am trying to visudo to uncomment includedir /etc/sudoers.d but but getting >> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 30 <<< [14:27] if anyone could help would be appreciated [14:27] Titan_king: if the wired connection shows the same limitations you've a router/ISP issue; if not, you can confidently focus on the wifi on the PC [14:28] hello [14:28] hello [14:28] TJ-, Wired recives full speed [14:28] Titan_king: OK, what throughput does wired see? [14:28] rud0lf, olleh [14:28] TJ-, What does a throughput mean? [14:28] Titan_king: and also, what is the wifi bit-rate reported by "iwconfig" so we know the kind of max throughput to expect? [14:29] TJ-, how do I check that? [14:29] Titan_king: bandwidth, bit-rate. E.g. 1000 Mega-bit/second [14:29] Titan_king: "iwconfig" and tell us the bit-rate [14:29] any ideas guys? [14:29] TJ-, Bit Rate=150 Mb/s [14:29] Titan_king: I see here "Bit Rate=144.4 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm" [14:30] i have ubuntu + windows vista dual boot configuration, can i put a password on windows vista option? [14:30] TJ-, Bit Rate=150 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm [14:30] or temporary disable it from linux? [14:30] Titan_king: ok, so it's connected on 802.11n [14:30] TJ-, Yes [14:30] Titan_king: so now you can focus on the interface itself [14:31] TJ-, Just so you know, I have updated the realtek drivers [14:31] slavka` obviously, we need to know what's on line 30 of visudo [14:31] TJ-, From git repo "lwfinger/rtlwifi_new" [14:32] Titan_king: OK. what is the interface name, is it wlan0 ? [14:32] TJ-, wlp1s0 [14:33] Titan_king: what does this report: " IF=wlp1s0; readlink -e /sys/class/net/${IF}/device/driver/module " [14:33] >>> # See sudoers(5) for more information on "#include" directives: [14:33] MonkeyDust: happy to pastebin if it helps? [14:34] TJ-, "/sys/module/rtl8723be" [14:35] Titan_king: why did you mess with drivers in the first place? did the ubuntu default ones not work? [14:35] TJ-, Yep, they kept disconnecting [14:36] TJ-, This was the way suggested in many places including askubuntu abd ubuntuforums [14:36] MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/wdANUyna if you can help would be appreciated [14:36] Titan_king: show us "pastebinit <( IF=wlp1s0; F=/sys/class/net/${IF}/device/driver/module/parameters/; for n in $F/*; do echo $F=$(cat $n); done )" [14:37] Titan_king: grr typo there! show us "pastebinit <( IF=wlp1s0; F=/sys/class/net/${IF}/device/driver/module/parameters/; for n in $F/*; do echo $n=$(cat $n); done )" [14:38] Titan_king: replaced 'echo $F=' with 'echo $n=' !! [14:39] TJ-, One sec [14:39] slavka` put a # before 'includedir' [14:40] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15472401/ [14:40] Titan_king: thnkas. which kernel version is loaded ("uname -r") [14:41] TJ-, it says "4.2.0-34-generic" [14:41] Titan_king: so Ubuntu 15.10 Wily? [14:41] hi all [14:42] people [14:42] TJ-, Yes [14:42] Titan_king: OK, those module parameters you just pastebinned - 2 of them control chipset low-power modes (ips and fwlps) [14:42] Titan_king: I'd suggest testing with both of those set off (=0) [14:42] hi guys [14:43] TJ-, ok one sec [14:43] Titan_king: you can create "/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf" with "options rtl8723be ips=0 fwlps=0" [14:44] TJ-, Done , So Should I restart? [14:44] TJ-, Or can I reload modules? [14:45] Titan_king: then unload/reload the module (after disabling wifi) with "nmcli radio wifi off; sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be; sudo modprobe rtl8723be; nmcli radio wifi on" [14:45] so I've got a old 10.04 server, trying to do-release-upgrade... no such luck?

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:46] jsl45: install a supported ubuntu version from topic [14:46] EriC^^ LockeAnarchist: thnx [14:47] TJ-, Done, Now also downloads cap at 60 kbps [14:47] !usn | jsl45 check also the risks of using an eol version [14:47] jsl45 check also the risks of using an eol version: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about recent Ubuntu security updates. [14:48] Titan_king: did your speed was capped before installing that git driver? [14:48] Titan_king: right, so that suggests the low-power-save isn't the issue. Can you just verify the loaded module is using those parameters you set with "IF=wlp1s0; F=/sys/class/net/${IF}/device/driver/module/parameters/; for n in $F/*; do echo $n=$(cat $n); done" and ensure both ips and fwlps = N [14:48] lotuspsychje, No [14:49] Titan_king: then why the heck did you install that? [14:50] TJ-, it says fwlps=N ips=N [14:50] Titan_king: next test is to add to the modprobe config file "swenc=1" - that'll force the link encryption to be done by the CPU, not the wifi chipset. After setting, reload the driver again [14:50] lotuspsychje, as I mentioned wifi is unstable [14:50] TJ-, swenc = N [14:50] TomyLobo: are your sure there are no linux console apps for the same task? [14:50] TJ-, changing it to one in options file [14:51] Titan_king: many wifi chipsets exhibit flakey behaviour when hardware encryption is enabled so this is a good possibility [14:51] i want to build a source engine game for windows [14:51] i'm not sure, but the standard way is to build it with visual studio [14:52] the reason i'm building it on linux and not on windows is CI [14:52] TJ-, Done [14:52] i want to do nightly jenkins builds for it [14:52] Titan_king: reload the driver do the tests again [14:53] TJ-, Download speeds are still around 60 [14:54] Titan_king: looking like something in the repo version of the driver; can you give me the full URL to the repo? [14:54] TJ-, "https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new" [14:54] TomyLobo: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Compiling_under_Linux ? [14:55] Titan_king: for the record this looks like a common re-manifestation of bug 1320070 [14:55] bug 1320070 in linux (Ubuntu Utopic) "Realtek Wifi card RTL8723BE drops connection with MSI enabled" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1320070 [14:55] willwh, that's under linux, for linux, isn't it? (reading) [14:55] Titan_king: as in, your problem with the ubuntu 15.10 driver - another user in that bug reports the same issue recurring in 15.10 [14:56] willwh, it's not explicitly stated, but i think it is [14:56] all, I'm running 15.10 on a Lenovo Thinkstation. Just about every morning, I come in to a frozen system. Screens won't wake up, won't respond to pings, etc. Two questions: (1) journalctl --until=today shows nothing...it seems that when I reboot the system, the journal database is cleared. Any way to access old logs? and (2) any ideas what might cause this and how to troubleshoot? [14:56] TJ-, So is there anything I can do? [14:57] Titan_king: looking at the code/changes now [14:57] TJ-, Okay [14:57] willwh, oh, first 4 words, in bold print: "Creating a Linux build" [14:57] :D [14:57] TomyLobo: shoud if you get stuck [14:57] been a while since I played with that stuff [14:57] but I can probably give you a hand if you need it [14:57] s/shoud/shout [14:58] anyway, i'll need to make linux builds as well, so that'll be handy once i'm done with the windows stuff :) [14:58] I guess I'm confused [14:58] you want to build for windows, from linux? [14:58] i.e. you're hoping for X-platform CI? [14:58] for windows and linux, from linux [14:58] what build? [14:59] a source engine game [14:59] Titan_king: I notice there's a new module option for forced antenna selection. might be worth testing that "ant_sel=1" [14:59] this: https://github.com/BSVino/DoubleAction [14:59] TJ-, Yep tried both 1 and 2 [14:59] TJ-, Still no use :-( [15:00] TJ-, This is silly but cant we use both antennas at a time? [15:00] hello [15:00] TJ-, Because the download speeds are usaually exactly half the original download speeds of the Internet [15:01] Titan_king: yes, it does by default. ant_sel is to force usage when the hardware has mis-configured the efuse [15:01] "Experienced GCC programmers may be interested in Getting the SDK to work under -Wall -Werror." - heh, lofty goal... first thing would be to get it to *run* without asserting all the time :D [15:01] i mean it runs and it's in production and all and it never crashed for me either, but those asserts are worrying :) [15:01] TJ-, So my card is using both antennas now. right? [15:01] is there a way to block, that example ssh, from some of multiple fqdns leading to the same machine? maybe some way in iptables? [15:01] TJ-, still no use.. [15:02] b00b00, you cannot block someone else's DNS entries [15:02] same machine, i mean also the same ip [15:02] your ssh server never gets to know which fqdn was used [15:02] Titan_king: have you seen https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/issues/104 [15:03] TJ-, sadly that was posted by me :-( [15:03] Titan_king: I wish you'd said!! [15:03] b00b00, if you're talking about your ssh client, there's the hosts file and the ssh client configuration file [15:03] TomyLobo: i think the same, i just want to know if maybe there is a trick i waant aware [15:03] but your request strikes me as mad [15:03] TJ-, looked so close, did't it [15:04] hey there I am pretty sure this might be the best place to askbut I have had Fail2ban running on a Ubuntu server working very good for 5-6months straight and today i found out that either it is not bannig as it should or something else is up becuase I am not getting the emials that I should from it, acording to the mail logs they are beeing sent but not received. I am using GMAIL but I haven't had any issues at all for 5-6 months. [15:04] Titan_king: also, this issue might be related: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/issues/95 [15:05] LaserAllan there's also #ubuntu-server [15:05] LaserAllan, it's called "*fail*2ban" :P [15:05] lol [15:06] TomyLobo: Thanks anyway^^ [15:06] Hopefully I can get the issue resolved :) [15:06] LaserAllan: wich ubuntu version? [15:07] lotuspsychje: 1404LTS [15:07] LaserAllan: your up to date to latest mate? === manu is now known as Guest90553 [15:08] lotuspsychje: You mean if I have updates installed? [15:08] If that is the case than yes [15:08] yep [15:08] AYe [15:08] Titan_king: is your PC also operating a Bluetooth radio? [15:08] I think it might have broken after the update was done though which is why i am so oncufsed becuas it has been runnig veryw ell ever since i installed it [15:09] TJ-, Nope disabled [15:11] LaserAllan: maybe the #openssh might know whats going on [15:14] TJ-, Any other ideas? [15:14] Titan_king: have yout tried a 'git bisect' to see if you can identify a commit that introduced this issue? [15:14] TJ-, No How do I do that? [15:15] Titan_king: see https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect [15:16] Titan_king: you could start off with bisecting from commit 15f04b7 (March 23 2015) which is just before some build fixes for kernel v4.1/v4.2 [15:17] TJ-, will upgrading kernal help? [15:17] Titan_king: I doubt it [15:17] Titan_king: looks like a pure wifi module/device interaction issue; especially as the Ubuntu driver speed is OK (although it drops connections) [15:18] Hello all, keep getting this: W: Failed to fetch http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-backports/universe/source/Sources Hash Sum mismatch , i tried googling it and applying all solutions but nothing works :( any has any hint? [15:18] gsagie: added ppa's of any kind mate? [15:18] TJ-, That, I cannot say, It was completely unusable [15:18] gsagie: it suggests the file and the checksums don't match for that archive [15:19] lotuspsychje: maybe [15:19] gsagie: purge all ppa's first off your system [15:23] Hi === titan_king_ is now known as Titan-king [15:26] gsagie: what are you using when you see that error, is it "apt-get update" ? [15:26] TJ-: yes [15:27] i will try to remove all ppa's as lotuspsychje suggested, but dunno how its related as it doesnt seems like it fails on them [15:27] gsagie: because on the face of it it is trying to hash a file that doesn't exist on the mirror (or the primary archive servers). The 'Sources' file isn't there because there are 2 compressed versions (.bz2, .gz). I've checked their hashes against the InRelease file and they're correct [15:29] gsagie: what does this report: "pastebinit <( ls /var/lib/apt/lists/*universe*Source* ) " [15:30] TJ-: http://pastebin.com/qfZG9aY6 [15:32] gsagie: good, now generate the MD5 hash of the local file with "md5sum /var/lib/apt/lists/il.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-backports_universe_source_Sources" and show us the hash [15:33] gsagie: according to the InRelease file (which lists the hashes of every file) it should be 3bd5ce2a949dc2e28bb243ba7c252a9a [15:34] I try to repack initrd.lz but when I pack it back I gt that cpio cannot stat a file (its a broken symlink) [15:34] so how to force on it to pack it back as it was originally ? [15:34] Hi? [15:34] TJ-: 3bd5ce2a949dc2e28bb243ba7c252a9a [15:35] \leave [15:35] seems the same === HaloSponge is now known as FreeSponge [15:35] what [15:35] I can't install wine [15:36] broken packages [15:36] Skeptix what happesn when you try [15:36] Anyone can help? [15:36] Skeptix what's the output of cat /etc/issue [15:37] gsagie: so, that looks correct. Now lets check the InRelease file you have locally. "grep 'universe/source/Sources$' /var/lib/apt/lists/il.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty-backports_InRelease " === FreeSponge is now known as LibreSponge [15:37] how do I create a link from my main hd sda to sdb , sdc, and so forth [15:38] gsagie: that should give you the line related to the Sources file itself. If not, we'll need to re-formulate the command to get it [15:38] failpractice with ln -s [15:38] ok let me give it a whirl [15:38] TJ-: http://pastebin.com/dfmnXB2n [15:38] hello I want to downlaod shadow. I have installed dependancies, cloned the git hub link and execute the following: "git clone https://github.com/shadow/shadow.git -b release ;cd shadow; ./setup build; ./setup install; echo "export PATH=${PATH}:/home/${USER}/.shadow/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && bash;" at last but not least I ran shadow --version and the shell does not found it. during the installation with ./setup install the terminal returns [ [15:39] !find shadow [15:39] Found: ruby-shadow, libtie-shadowhash-perl, libvshadow-dbg, libvshadow-dev, libvshadow-utils [15:39] donald1: that sounds like a question for the github project, not about any ubuntu package [15:41] gsagie: well, that's the same! [15:42] gsagie: not sure why you're seeing the issue *unless* there is a transparent HTTP proxy between your system and the archive mirror, and its returning a corrupted file [15:42] hetii: are you using mkinitramfs ? [15:42] Hi, brief question: I'm trying to build a clean chroot for wily and xenial. Works nicely with amd64, but fails with i386. makedev package complains about missing /dev/tty[0-9] for chmod. Anyone seen this error? [15:43] TJ-: I do it by: find . | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | lzma -7 > ../initrd.lz [15:43] example command line is: cowbuilder --create --distribution=xenial --debootstrap debootstrap --components 'main universe restricted multiverse' --debootstrapopts --arch=i386 --debootstrapopts --no-check-gpg --debootstrapopts --verbose --basepath=/var/cache/pbuilder/base.xenial.i386.cow [15:43] hetii: you're asking it to --dereference (symlinks) but complaining because it fails on a broken symlink? [15:44] hmm [15:44] hetii: first thing is to identify the symlink and find out why it is broken [15:44] ok will try without this option [15:44] I get with ln -s not a directory, which makes sense it a hard drive [15:45] failpractice: you want to link the raw block devices (sda,sdb) ? [15:45] but wonder how someone pack this initrd image (its from official image) [15:45] failpractice you have to mount devices, then you can link (ln) the content [15:46] yeah I have a rack server bays 1/2 mirror as sda then 4 others SDB SDC SDE [15:46] ok that would make sense [15:47] Can anyone pls share if Intel X540 10GbE nic is supported in 14.04.4 ISO, or alternatively how to easily install the driver? [15:47] nacc I asked in #bash and I get Not a #bash question. We're no experts in that software or OS; consider asking the channel or mailing list with experts on that topic (eg. ##linux #openssh #ubuntu #zsh). [15:47] failpractice: hard or symbolic links only work inside file-systems, not with raw block devices. Some file-systems don't support the links [15:47] TJ-: I repack it and the side are differ 24553111 != 24359101 [15:48] hetii: which is the original initrd.img-$VERSION you're extracting? [15:48] HQLOO [15:48] Halo [15:49] donald1: your post got cutoff, fwiw, so i'm not sure what hte bash issue is. You should ask the github project owner to help, I think [15:49] @tj I can get to it from my top lvl by going to /dev/sdb and such and ls === xubuntu is now known as Guest62552 [15:50] I can also see them all with sudo lshw -C disk [15:51] failpractice: I'm worried about what you're doing and what you're trying to achieve. It doesn't sound correct on the face of it [15:51] hi all [15:51] hi jab [15:51] how is everything [15:52] TJ-: its from 14.04 [15:52] I need to be able to access and save to those drive is all [15:52] If I screw it up I can re install and start over [15:53] failpractice: /dev/sd? are raw block devices. To write files there needs to be file-systems on the devices, or in partitions on those devices. Then, those file-systems need *mount*-ing into the the running system. For system mounts we often out them under /mnt/ [15:53] ah nothing there that now makes sense [15:54] failpractice: I'm wondering if you're actually trying to create a RAID mirror set!? [15:54] failpractice format the block device, then mount it to a folder [15:54] failpractice then you can link the content [16:02] TJ-: thanks for your help and time! [16:02] was it a mistake not to have my server look at all the bays as on gaint setup from the beginning? I have 4 logical drives [16:04] what do you think it means when your Software Updater window only shows the title bar? [16:04] as if the whole window is collpased (or rather, has no content) [16:05] "resize" is disabled ... hmm [16:05] ash_workz right click on it, it may be a mouse setting [16:05] ash_workz make that: middle click [16:05] MonkeyDust: middle click minimizes it [16:05] "it" being the title bar [16:06] TJ-: thanks for your help and time, just wanted to make sure you see :) [16:12] Hi, I'm thinking about upgrading from 14.04 to 16.0 4; is there an easy way to do this? [16:12] metroins: i would not do that until 16.04 releases. [16:12] oh ok [16:12] and until it does, #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 questions [16:12] metroins: its not done yet. its still unstable.

I don't want to use kubuntu-desktop. I just find out dated replies on Internet. Thanks for your help. [17:58] how practical is it to turn off password auth? do i have to move the pub key to every computer i wanna get access from? [17:59] Exagone313: why don't you want to use that [17:59] because it installs many things useless [17:59] antonispgs, yes, without password you need keys everywhere. you should be using keys anyhow, much better than password [18:00] they're not really any better than passwords, for people who know what they're doing :p [18:00] compdoc, apparently there are mentions here and there of that term. i'd say it's someone's marketing lingo. [18:00] Qucik question here. Should I bother with installing 16.04 that pre-release version, or 15.10, or just wait till 16.04 full release? I'd like rather clean installations [18:00] all i am concerned is security for my remote server [18:00] I am note sure if kubuntu-desktop could break ubuntu-desktop for example [18:00] Phreya: waiting is pointless, IMO [18:00] I ask for a friend so I can't try [18:00] Exagone313, are the packages marked as "Break" or "Conflicts"? [18:00] I've got an odd keyboard issue, the keymap's fine, but I've got to press ` twice for it to register [18:00] i have disabled root login, now turned on key auth and thinking of removing passwd auth [18:00] Exagone313: won't break anything, but you'll have double the apps in your menus [18:01] if not, dont worry [18:01] I don't have a VM to try here [18:01] and last step would be fail2ban [18:01] TomyLobo, there is term which knows everyone in runet [18:01] or am i too worried? [18:01] reisio: should I just go 15.10, and upgrade that to 16.04 in the time? [18:01] antonispgs: those are all pretty standard precautions [18:02] antonispgs, each client has their own key; if a client is lost (stolen laptop) you can disable their key on the server. [18:02] antonispgs: forcing keys over passwords won't really make anything more secure, but it's pretty common anyway [18:02] am_ runet meaning the russian-speaking part of the internet or something else? [18:02] either way, it's best not to translate idioms literally [18:02] so i have to generate a key on each machine? or carry my key on a usb stick? sorry for how naive this might sound [18:02] the guy didn't started with ubuntu-desktop finally, he started with minimal ~ installed via debootstrap, and he has gnome-panel. so installing a big metapackage will be ... bad [18:02] otherwise everyone will just understand train station [18:02] he has slow connection, he just wants kde [18:03] ghbdfnt [18:03] привет [18:03] antonispgs, it's easier for the private key to stay private if you don't copy it around [18:03] !ru [18:03] Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [18:03] Phreya: you can upgrade from prerelease 16.04 to plain 16.04 [18:03] Exagone313: That one will probably give you a quiet minimalistic KDE desktop... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=kde-baseapps&searchon=names [18:03] am_ if that last part made no sense, see http://ithinkispider.com/ [18:03] reisio: that's perfect. thanks. [18:03] yea but if i have disabled root login and passwd auth, then how am i supposed to enter the other machine's key to the server if need be? [18:04] minimec: it does not install plasma-desktop, so I think there is a meta-package more efficient [18:04] antonispgs, with the help of one of the other clients? [18:04] thanks anyway I copy the thing [18:04] antonispgs, or you could enable password auth temporarily... it's all up to you [18:05] Exagone313: That could well be. I never use(d) KDE... === King is now known as eir [18:05] right i see, should i go ahead with fail2ban default settings as well?

[18:06] antonispgs, I have no personal experience with fail2ban - just be careful not to lock yourself out with it [18:07] do you think that disabled root login, disabled passwd auth and changing the ssh port along with public key auth is secure enough for a random server on a datacenter? [18:08] changing the ssh port is not really a security measure; although it might help getting rid of some stupid bruteforce bots on your logs, it's purely cosmetical === am_ is now known as i4 [18:09] frostschutz there are +1400 people in ##security [18:09] is honeypot like fail2ban? [18:09] well frostschutz thanks so much [18:09] let me search some things by myself [18:09] antonispgs: no, honeypots are something else [18:10] if you want to actively investigate people attempting to infiltrate your systems, rather than just stop them [18:10] right i see [18:12] antonispgs there are +1400 people in ##security [18:12] hi [18:12] yes monkeydust, i was just informed for its existence by you [18:12] antonispgs: ask them if they run windows or apple [18:13] heh [18:13] hahahah [18:15] how does 16.04 look *right now*? will it be release ready in time? [18:17] smtwtfs 4 more weeks until release [18:17] smtwtfs: #ubuntu+1 [18:17] thx [18:17] MonkeyDust: my body ready [18:17] this release is a step in the right direction [18:18] I was considering installing 15.10 [18:18] but dont know if I would be better off waiting [18:20] smtwtfs: you can install 15.10 now and upgrade ti 16.04 from april to july [18:20] waiting is fairly pointless [18:20] you can install 16.04 now, and then update 16.04 later [18:20] smtwtfs: You can get answers on stability of 16.04 in #ubuntu+1 '/join #ubuntu+1'. My first experineces with 16.04 in a virtual machine are quiet promising. [18:21] apparently in 16.04 taskbar can move to bottom etc [18:21] becauseunity8 [18:21] why did not i get C icon on each file this is screenshot on ubuntu 14.04 lts http://picpaste.com/c-bUexhHYi.png ?????? [18:21] i4: nope. unity8 has nothing to do with that [18:21] http://fossforce.com/2016/03/oops-broke-drm-blu-ray/ [18:21] sorry [18:22] is 16.04 going to use mir? [18:22] gourav777: what's 'file' say about each of those files? (file *.*) [18:22] mushmouth: no. ist still the unity7 on xorg default [18:22] k1l_: that make me sad [18:23] reisio: it dont show icon on each file it shown icon on only one file[file is of c program] [18:24] gourav777: I saw that — you got a response for my question? [18:24] I would rather have the launcher on the bottom by far. putting it on the left makes me OCD. It makes the screen oddly shaped. [18:24] smtwtfs: i prefer left imo [18:25] reisio : Sorry!! i dont get your question??? [18:25] smtwtfs: looking at screen ratios putting the launcher to the side is not that dumb. [18:25] gourav777: file ~/Desktop/test/*.* | pastebinit [18:25] * _KaLiF is the _KaLiF [18:25] reisio: what's this??? [18:25] I've never thought 100 or whatever pixels mattered that much. [18:25] gourav777: it's a command [18:26] reisio: od i have to run it? [18:26] *do [18:26] I'd rather have it along the bottom anyway, I have a 21:9 screen. I can have loads of programs visible without stacking [18:27] 21:9 is desktop heaven btw. one of the best computer related things I've ever bought. [18:27] reisio: 'pastebinit' not installed!!!! now do i have to install it or not??? [18:28] gourav777: that would be helpful, yup [18:28] gourav777: use this "file ~/Desktop/test/*.* | nc termbin.com 9999" [18:29] netcat is installed by default but pastebinit isn't? :p [18:29] yep :) [18:30] it remain same after running [[[file ~/Desktop/test/*.* | nc termbin.com 9999]]] :( [18:30] hello all [18:30] When booting ubuntu 14.04, i get taken to "initramfs busybox, /dev/disk/uuid does not exist" I have tried to fix superblocks through e2fsck and i have tried updating initramfs through liveusb, yet none of this has worked, what could possibly be the problem, this has happened multiple time causing me to keep reinstalling as i simply cant figure it out [18:30] reisio: it remain same after running [[[file ~/Desktop/test/*.* | nc termbin.com 9999]]] :( [18:31] gourav777: try pastebinit, then [18:31] 'lo lee_g750jm [18:32] gourav777: did you run "file ~/Desktop/test/*.* | nc termbin.com 9999" in a terminal? [18:32] gourav777: did it print a url? [18:32] * _KaLiF is the _KaLiF [18:32] _KaLiF: stop that please [18:32] _KaLiF: Please stop. [18:32] <_KaLiF> ok [18:33] kll: yes [18:33] yes [18:33] gourav777: can you give us that URL? [18:33] gourav777: show the link here [18:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/15474027/ [18:34] <_KaLiF> moov.mg [18:34] kll: [18:34] <_KaLiF> telma.mg [18:34] <_KaLiF> orange.mg [18:34] gourav777: the command is not changing anything. it is just posting informations on a pste service [18:34] kll: now how can i get icon on each file?? [18:35] ciao [18:35] !list [18:35] enric90: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [18:36] kll: and screenshot is here.so you get complete problem http://picpaste.com/pics/c-bUexhHYi.1458670861.png [18:36] gourav777: the one with the C is the only empty file. [18:37] kll: yess!!! [18:37] gourav777: the others have aski text inside and get associated with gedit, i think. but what is the issue. just the look is not the issue, is it? [18:38] but when i used linuxmint it shows icon on each file....... so why not ubuntu?? [18:38] kll === King is now known as \me [18:38] the uuid that ubuntu claims does not exist is my /dev/sda2 [18:38] is there a way of fixing this through /etc/fstab [18:39] gourav777 because mint is different from ubuntu, it's a different distro [18:39] gourav777: those _are_ icons :) [18:39] kll: popey: means i have no option to recognise my file graphically???????? [18:40] bobby23: you could update fstab to point to the right UUID? [18:40] nacc: how would i do that (new to linux) [18:40] hello [18:40] gourav777: what are you expecting to see? [18:40] how could one know how a package was installed? [18:40] Where does duplicity get the current hostname? I have changed /etc/host but still duplicity shows me localhost (or something similar) [18:40] i want to see tea cup on java file . large C on c file and Cpp on c++ files [18:40] hid: dpkg -l | grep ^ii [18:41] popey [18:41] gourav777: switch off previews? [18:41] bobby23: so it's very odd that the UUID has changed; do you see an entry /dev/disk/by-uuid/ with a symlink to /dev/sda2 ? [18:41] popey: i dont get your solution [18:41] gourav777: in nautilus -> preferences -> preview [18:41] bobby23: and are you installing anything special (or removing the ubuntu kernels, etc.) [18:42] nacc: when it boots it says /dev/disk/byuuid with a uuid number, i went into liveusb and used to "sudo blkid" to discover it was talking about /dev/sda2 [18:42] popey: where can i found nautilus?? [18:42] gourav777: nautilus is the window in your screenshot - it's the name of the file manager [18:42] nacc: this has literally happened around 5-7 times and i just keep reinstalling out of frustration [18:43] bobby23: ok, is that disk available by symlink in /dev/disk/by-uuid ? [18:43] bobby23: what precedes the issue? which version of ubuntu? [18:43] nacc: apologies, i dont understand what you mean by symlink [18:43] nacc: ubuntu gnome 14.04 [18:43] nacc: this happens everytime i update [18:44] nacc: it also happens if my laptop shuts down by loss of battery [18:44] popey: now there are many options in preview.. [18:44] when I type "sudo passwd root" and I get asked for the password it doesn't let me enter anything. so weird! what could it be? I can type just fine in the terminal at any other time. [18:45] bobby23: can you pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg and `ls -ahl /dev/disk/by-uuid` [18:45] nacc: sure two secs === zippy is now known as Guest59480 [18:46] wellick: it just doesn't echo what you're typing, that would be h orribly insecure [18:46] nacc: right, but it didn't seem to be working at all. let me try again. [18:47] Hi everyone, I'm trying to setup wifi on a fresh ubuntu server install. iwconfig shows a weird name: wlx0013ef2a07fc IEEE 802.11bgn ESSSID:off/any, etc. [18:47] Does that mean anything? [18:47] It's a usb wifi dongle [18:48] olalonde a server with wifi? [18:48] olalonde: it probably stands for wireless linux and then the mac address? [18:48] MonkeyDust: yes [18:48] I see [18:48] Was wondering if it was missing a driver [18:48] olalonde: ubuntu started using systemd to generate interface names, see https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ [18:49] wellick: sudo is asking for you user's password [18:49] nacc: here is the pastebin: pastebin.com/JaEEFnqm [18:49] Pici: oh that's why ok. Is http://askubuntu.com/a/464552/2331 going to work or I need to read up on how to do it with systemd? [18:49] nacc: i was trying to create one. how do I check if I have a root account? [18:49] olalonde: that should still work, but your interface names will be different, of curse. [18:50] Ok, thanks. Will try that. [18:50] popey: are you getting my point? [18:50] hello [18:50] gourav777: do you have a program for c files? [18:50] wellick: sorry, you were trying to set *root*'s password [18:51] untu set by rw!dax@freenode/staff-emeritus/dax at Mon Mar 14 11:49:17 2016 [18:51] -ChanServ- [#ubuntu] Welcome to #ubuntu! Please read the channel topic. This channel is logged. Use of this channel implies acceptance of terms at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/TermsOfService [18:51] * #ubuntu :http://www.ubuntu.com [18:51] hello [18:51] gourav777: do you have a program for c files? [18:51] wellick: sorry, you were trying to set *root*'s password [18:51] wellick: maybe start over and explain what you are trying to do? [18:51] yes [18:51] woooo misclicks :( [18:51] i used gcc and g++ as compiler skyblue: kll [18:51] nacc: well, i'm trying to move a file to my bin folder so it can be used as a command in the terminal. But I got a "permition denied" or something like that [18:51] wellick: on ubuntu you dont use the root account [18:52] wellick: stop [18:52] wellick: that doesn't seem right [18:52] wellick: your own bin folder should definitely be writeable as your own user [18:52] wellick: using root to fix a permissions problem is a mistake [18:52] hmmm, what can I do then? [18:52] Pici: wlx0013ef2a07fc would be the interface name in place of wlan0 right? [18:52] olalonde: indeed [18:53] wellick: please pastebin the output of whatever command you ran and the error you received [18:53] wellick: you dont need to put stuff into the bin folder. you can create a ""bin" folder in your users home and put the file there. [18:53] wellick symlink the command to /usr/bin/ [18:53] wellick: after a relogin it is working from terminal [18:53] bobby23: that seems ok to me; but i'm not sure what the initrd's environment is [18:54] gourav777: http://imgur.com/T6x1YN2 like that - Never. [18:54] bobby23: if you reboot normally, it happens every time? [18:54] yes [18:54] nacc: everytime i reinstall, download all the programs i want, download update and reboot, it does this [18:55] nacc: is it my usb? [18:55] bobby23: what do you mean "all the programs you want"? Are you installing any PPAs? [18:55] popey : i set it to always but after that too i dont get icon [18:55] bobby23: what machine is it? is it a raspberry pi? [18:55] nacc: sublime text, mpv things like that [18:55] gourav777: I said set it to never [18:56] k1l_: no, my laptop is using ubuntu, i am currently speaking to you through a pi though [18:56] popey: ok [18:57] popey : Yureka! Yureka! you got my problem and solved it.. thanku buddies you are coool [18:57] :) [18:57] nacc, k1l_: i chose ubuntu gnome 14 because i liked the de and it was a lts release [18:57] bobby23: ok, are those packages from the official repositories? [18:58] nacc: most of them are from the software centre, the rest i am getting through the official websites [18:58] nacc: examples would be spotify, sublime text, google chrome, i am installing these through their ppa links that lead to the ubuntu software centre [18:59] bobby23: for the purposes of support here, it would be good to reproduce only with the official packages; no external stuff (as then it's not just ubuntu any longer) [18:59] bobby23: also, would be good to konw if you just install, update, reboot (no additions), does it reboot [18:59] nacc: the reboot either stops working the first time or the second time [19:00] kll and popey thanks again and good bye! [19:00] :D [19:00] nacc: could it be google chrome causing this, i get a warning from ubuntu not to install everytime i install it [19:01] nacc: now that i mention it, this wouldnt happen when i initially used firefox, during my initial use of firefox there would be no failed boots, and the only time it happened, it was fixed with an e2fsck repair [19:01] bobby23: w/o doing anything? or after installing packages? [19:01] bobby23: i'd be surprised if chrome did it, as it should just be installing a browser :) [19:01] the majority of the time it would fail after an update, upgrade and reboot [19:01] nacc: [19:02] nacc: this time it failed without any updates, only ppa installs [19:02] bobby23: it feels like something in your ppas is the issue; it would be really good to not install any ppas, and verify the base install is owrking; and if it's not, let's fix that [19:02] as the ppas aren't supported here (they are only supported by the ppa authors) [19:03] nacc: what ppa's could be causing this [19:04] nacc: would you like me to reinstall ubuntu with my liveusb? [19:04] bobby23: it's really up to you; it's hard for me to debug given taht you've said it worked ok sometimes (esp. w/o any ppas). If it's not a lot of work and there's nothingyou're losing, then it's probably easiest to level-set [19:05] nacc: what is level-set (sorry lol) [19:05] Hi. [19:05] nacc: i didn't run anything, I used good old GUI. [19:05] bobby23 what was your initial question? [19:05] k1l_: you mean create ANOTHER bin folder? [19:06] bobby23: sorry, just to get to a place that's well-defined, but let's see if MonkeyDust has any insight too [19:06] wellick: in you users home folder. create a "bin" named folder [19:06] nacc: i should clarify, the first time this happened i was using ubuntu gnome 15, i was able to fix it by repairing e2fsck, then it happened again, so i decided to just install ubuntu 14 as i thought it would be more stable, ever since then, everytime i install ppas, i get taken to initramfs on bootup [19:06] MonkeyDUst: allow me to paste [19:06] wellick: if there is already a "bin" folder in your users home (i am not speaking about /usr/bin !!) then just put your files into there [19:07] bobby23 what is 'this' and 'it'? [19:07] wellick: as k1l_ said, you don't put your own user's scripts/executable in /usr/bin (or wherever), but in ~/bin/ [19:07] MonkeyDust: "When booting ubuntu 14.04, i get taken to "initramfs busybox, /dev/disk/uuid does not exist" I have tried to fix superblocks through e2fsck and i have tried updating initramfs through liveusb, yet none of this has worked, what could possibly be the problem, this has happened multiple time causing me to keep reinstalling as i simply cant figure it out" [19:07] got it, let me try. [19:08] Hi, I am relatively new to Ubuntu, installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS on an old Dell laptop of my dad's about two months ago. [19:08] bobby23 and has 14.04 ever booted correctly, or is this on a new install? [19:08] Looking to learn a lot from the community. [19:09] MonkeyDust: it works initially then fails to boot after i have installed ppas, updated, upgraded and rebooted [19:09] wellick: For instance: " sysop@1404mini:~$ ls -ld ~/bin >> drwxrwxr-x 2 sysop sysop 4096 Jan 22 2015 /home/sysop/bin " . [19:09] bobby23 you mean the ppas have destablized your ubuntu? [19:10] MonkeyDust: I dont know what is happening, apologies, im new to gnu/linux [19:10] bobby23 start by disabling the ppas, then [19:10] MonkeyDust: that's about where we were at :) [19:10] MonkeyDUst: how? [19:10] MonkeyDust, nacc: i am currently on liveusb, how shall i proceed [19:12] bobby23 ok, from liveusb, try cat [path to HDD]/etc/apt/sources.list|grep ppa [19:12] bobby23 ok, from liveusb, try cat [path to HDD]/etc/apt/sources.list | grep ppa [19:16] nacc: so after putting a script (say "lp") on ~/bin/ i can run "lp" on the terminal anywhere and it will run the script? [19:16] I tried but it's not working [19:16] MonkeyDust: is the hdd "/dev/sda" when i try it, it states "permission denied" [19:17] wellick: logout and in again [19:17] wellick: does the PATH currently include ~/bin ? [19:17] wellick: at log-in that directory is added to the PATH only if the directory exists [19:17] after creating the home bin folder you need to login again once [19:18] not that i wrote all that already :/ [19:19] positive reinforcement :) [19:20] bobby23 ok, leave the live usb, reboot ubuntu and hold the left shift key ... go to recovery ... or are you doing al this on the pc you use to be here? [19:21] hmm [19:21] monkeydust: talking to you through another pc [19:21] monkeydust: which recovery should i pick [19:21] bobby23 with a working kernel [19:21] Q: if use toram kernel argument is it possible to use persistent with it ? [19:22] MonkeyDUst: alright, i just picked the one at the bottom [19:22] bobby23 great, in what screen are you now [19:23] hetii: 'toram' isn't a valid kernel parameter [19:23] i'm having doubts about this PATH thing. It works if I type ~/bin/lp argument but obviusly I want it to be a command, executable only by lp argument [19:23] MonkeyDust: recovery failed, taken to initramfs again [19:23] wellick: did you logout? [19:23] yes [19:23] monkeydust: shall i try the other recovery option [19:24] bobby23 try another 'recovery' [19:24] TJ-: ok but for initrd it is :) [19:24] hetii: OK, but that isn't the kernel :) [19:25] MonkeyDUst: was richard stallman wrong? is free software a cult!?!?! ;) === uruk is now known as uruk7 [19:25] wellick: please show the output of "echo $PATH" [19:25] bobby23 blasphemy! RMS is never wrong! [19:25] hetii: I don't see 'noram' in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init either [19:25] k1l_: /home/pedro/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games [19:26] hi all :) [19:26] I'm looking for someone who can do SEO for my site. [19:26] bobby23 in the beginning, all software was free, but a certain Bill Gates made it commercial [19:26] hmm but somehow this argument is passed to scripts/casper [19:26] TJ-: ^ [19:27] wellick: now please show a "ls -al /home/pedro/bin/" (use paste.ubuntu.com if its several lines) [19:27] A certain Bill Gates bought up the little guys and discontinued their products. [19:27] hetii: what probably is happening is the kernel command line is parsed by other tools (/proc/cmdline) to find arguments those other tools recognise [19:27] streetwitch: perhaps check in a channel related to web dev, and not distro support? [19:27] streetwitch, look in the mirror, read google's seo starter guide, and you're good to go [19:27] (i'm running ubuntu in virtual box btw) [19:28] MonkeyDUst: the second recovery failed too [19:28] MOnkeyDust: is there any way of logging in through initramfs [19:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/15474431/ [19:29] k1l_ [19:30] wellick: so if you did a complete logout to the login screen and back. then this should work [19:30] i did [19:30] let me reboot virtual box [19:30] bobby23 no, i don't know how to repair initramfs [19:31] MOnkeyDust: "gave up waiting for root device. common problems: -check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) -check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) - missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) [19:31] bobby23 i'm reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1691436 === spammy is now known as Guest91232 [19:34] bobby23 scroll down on that page, to kiyop's entry, april 30th... update-initramfs looks promising === Guest91232 is now known as spammy [19:36] MonkeyDust: alright ill try [19:36] Ok, so I setup the wifi but it is extremely slow [19:36] Could it be because I need another driver? [19:37] MonkeyDust: off the cuff question, you ever built your own pcbs? [19:38] bobby23 'ever'... in the early 1990's, but i guess that's not what you mean... not anymore since [19:38] MonkeyDust: is it stupid to do it now, i was inspired by watching woz build an apple 2 [19:45] Could someone help me install a printer (driver?) [19:45] hello [19:45] Monkeydust: there are 5 lines beginning with root=uuid [19:46] I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [19:46] Q: I've messed around with ubuntu before and noticed that drives are all represented by the same icon on the launcher. Is there a way to differentiate them visually? I have 6 ssd on my desktop and use drives in docks as well. [19:47] I have downloaded the two tgz files and expanded them [19:47] there is a 'readme' file but is of no use???? [19:47] re [19:49] pandusonu [19:49] I've plugged in the printer and tried to Add a printer but it does not have the correct printer listed [19:49] connected printer via USB [19:51] Could someone help me install a printer or is that somewhere else? [19:51] Hi! What is the safest way to perform a linux kernel upgrade in Ubuntu? [19:52] hey, is there any channel for indians [19:53] MonkeyDust: the uuid in the failed bootup seems to be correct [19:54] new_student: the safest way is to accept the default upgrades from the package manager. Did you have something more specific in mind? Anything else is going to require a bit of knowledge and risk, and is not really supported [19:54] new_student: fisrt: ask yourself the question: Do I erally need a newer kernel. 2nd: I you are on 14.04 for example, you can do some kernel upgrades within the software repository. Check for linux-image-generic-lts packages... [19:54] Monkeydust: perhaps i should change something in the startup in grub? [19:55] I require rtl8723be.ko [19:55] which is not present in the present kernel that I have [19:55] Hello, Is ubuntu ok with USB mic interfaces ?

I already did that using apt-file search [20:00] new_student: what is the current kernel version ("uname -r") ? [20:01] linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic [20:01] new_student: are you sure it isn't already installed ("modinfo rtl8723be") ? [20:01] yes, it's not there. [20:01] bobby23: you could try puring all the ppas [20:02] ppa-purge, iirc [20:02] MonkeyDust, narc: How would i identify which one is causing it for future reference [20:03] TJ-: 3.13.0-24-generic [20:03] bobby23: not sure off the top of my head [20:03] new_student: strange.

[20:10] okay [20:10] new_student: have you verified the module isn't in the file-system?

Sorry I don't have apt right now to check myself, but apt-cache policy should give you policy info associated with every repo.

[21:23] i had ubuntu mate 14.04 installed as desktop os, it constantly had bugs, crushes [21:23] math654: There are so many differnences that it's hard to know where to start. Also, that sort of question is not really on topic for this Ubuntu support related channel. Maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux, or try asking a less open ended question. [21:23] math654: well. others dont have that bugs. so it can be spcific to hardware or usage. [21:24] monkeydust, brainwave: sources.list.d contain spotify and google chrome [21:24] the panel, themes etc. and eventually upgrade killed it all [21:24] monkeydust, brainwave: are these ppas and if so, how do i remove [21:24] bobby23: those are PPAs or other 3rd party repos.

[21:27] k1l_: that's the output [21:27] so should i try fedora? [21:27] bobby23: are you removing ppas cause you think they are a big security risk? If so, I must say ppa are not always risky, and community has some really good ppas. Do use the ones you need, its just at your own risk.

[21:30] Ben64: it is untill 16.04 release [21:30] really? [21:30] oh [21:30] wasn't it from 15.04 [21:30] I'm currently looking for a soft to batch-adjust color/contrast of photos, any suggestion? [21:30] ksft: but i suggest you first try the 15.10 backports kernel and xorg stack for better hardware compatibility [21:31] dro: imagemagick? [21:31] k1l_: what are those words? [21:31] !hwe | ksft [21:31] ksft: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [21:31] k1l_: right. thanks [21:31] Ben64, tried already, but haven't found any option to adjust based on some algo that would find the best settings for each image separately [21:32] math654: if you are interessted in working on those issues people in here will help. but for fedora support you have to ask in #fedora [21:32] I'd simply like to make them look better, without pre-defining precise filters, since all photos a pretty different [21:32] k1l_: it says this: [21:32] "The 14.04.2 and newer point release will ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default." [21:32] does that mean that I already have it? [21:33] so 16.04 will be cool? [21:33] actually, is it possible to update the kernel? [21:33] dro: then that doesn't seem like something you can do automatically [21:33] or will be same as 14.04? [21:33] math654: it's going to be super cool [21:33] ksft: yes, you have a newer kernel and xorg than original 14.04. but there is a even newer one. [21:33] Ben64: are you sure? [21:33] Photoshop for example provides a function that adjust color, based on the picture itself, and the result looks pretty good Ben64 [21:33] ah [21:33] k1l_: how do I update? [21:33] ksft: you are on 15.04 kernel and xorg. but you can use 15.10 kernel and xorg. its named on that page [21:34] So I'm looking for some open source alternative, that could run in batch [21:34] Ben64: will intel drivers be supported ? [21:34] math654: yep [21:34] k1l_: I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 [21:34] maybe someone knows something :) [21:34] I assume you know that [21:34] Ben64: especially graphics drivers, because for 14.04 there is no support [21:34] ksft: yes. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Trusty [21:34] I also assume I misunderstand what a kernel is [21:34] math654: not true [21:34] math654: intel drivers are inside the linux kernel [21:34] oh [21:34] brainwave, monkeydust: alright, im determined to get these two files deleted, it wont allow me to delete them manually [21:34] I can totally read [21:35] math654: so please dont say there is no support for intel. because its already build in [21:35] k1l_: my opengl is now 3.0, but it can support 3.3+ [21:35] k1l_: "E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." [21:36] ksft: yes. all packages stay 14.04 only the kernel and xorg will use the 15.10 version with that command. you are already using the 15.04 version of those kernel and xorg [21:36] ksft: can you put all that into a pastbin? [21:36] k1l_: i searched for intel graphics drivers for 14.04 you cannot find it in their site [21:36] k [21:36] math654: did you understand what i just said? [21:37] math654: this is not windows. you dont load drivers from websites. ubuntu ships already a lot of drivers. [21:37] k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15475232/ [21:37] k1l_: do you understand what i said? [21:37] I can't see all of my folders via nautilus...for example...I can't see my usr folder...seems like I can only be in the home folder...what to do? [21:37] math654: i do. and i tell you its a non issue [21:38] k1l_: if so how do i get gl 3.3+? [21:38] ksft: if you want the latest intel drivers on 14.04 use the 15.10 enablement stack kernel and xorg [21:38] k1l_: how do I do that? [21:38] math654: if you want the latest intel drivers on 14.04 use the 15.10 enablement stack kernel and xorg [21:38] ksft: sorry wrong name. [21:39] k1l_: I'm trying to install an NVIDIA driver, btw [21:39] oh [21:39] k1l_: i know. but i wanted for 14.04 LTS [21:39] math654: no. you dont know [21:39] !hew | math654 [21:39] !hwe | math654 [21:39] math654: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [21:39] k1l_: i know [21:39] math654: no, you dont know [21:40] k1l_: visit intel's site [21:40] k1l_: are you sure you should be answering questions here? [21:40] math654: i know about that. but it is not what you think it is. this is not windows. [21:40] math654: please read the link k1l_ has provided, it answers your question about installing the latest available Xorg drivers in an LTS release [21:40] math654: if you don't want his/her help, then don't ask for it [21:40] in addition, here is the kind of function I am looking for on an ubuntu machine: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-editing/auto-tone-auto-contrast-and-auto-color-in-photoshop/ === vladimir-sn is now known as not_jbatdk [21:41] k1l_: wow so self-centered [21:41] math654: this is not windows. i already told you several times now that intel drivers are inside the kernel already. dont you understand that? [21:41] math654: stop abusing volunteers. [21:42] math654: so if you want newer kernel drivers install the 15.10 backports kernel like i told you know several times. [21:42] elky: mind your own buiseness [21:42] math654: s/he's right [21:42] be nice to people who are helping you for free === not_jbatdk is now known as vladimir-sn [21:43] math654: i am in the team that runs this channel. Your behaviour is my business. [21:43] monkeydust, brainwave: i know where the ppas are now, how od i delete them from the command line [21:43] ksft: so only people who get paid should talk nice? [21:43] math654: I don't see k1l_ being rude [21:43] also, I did not claim that [21:43] elky: then you need to better social skills [21:43] this troll is hungry... [21:43] Alrighty folks, let's calm down. [21:44] If you have support questions, ask away. If you're not replying to a *support question*, best not to reply. [21:44] ksft: i found it rude [21:44] good point [21:44] ksft: please run a "sudo apt update" and then a "sudo apt install -f" [21:44] math654: you've been given the correct advise several times, please take time to follow it. You want OpenGL 3.3+ support in the Xorg drivers, you'll need the latest available Xorg stack, which for 14.04LTS comes in the hardware enablement stacks from 15.10 [21:44] ksft: he said basically said i don't know anything [21:44] s/advise/advice/ [21:45] alright people, let's calm it, too many hotpockets and mcdonalds can get you hyper [21:45] this is gnu/linux ;) - signed rms [21:45] k1l_: "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 227 not upgraded." [21:45] ksft: "sudo apt full-upgrade" [21:45] something about Chrome failed in the first one, but I assume that isn't important [21:46] ksft: yes, that chrome repo issue can be fixed afterwards. its not related to this [21:47] man shoptNo manual entry for shopt [21:47] what? [21:47] isn't shopt a command? [21:47] k1l_: okay, good, that's what I though [21:47] it's running [21:47] wellick: it's a shell built-in [21:47] 50% [21:47] wellick: type: type shopt [21:48] man bash [21:48] ahh, got it [21:48] thanks [21:48] when people say you shouldn't get intel drivers off the website because they are supposed to be in the kernel...isn't that kind of counter intuitive? I would think the newest ones are always bound to be on the website. [21:48] wellick: don't know if you saw that, but look at the bash manual and search shopt in there. :) [21:49] does anyone else get the issue where if they use cmd+ to maximize their sublime text window that that sublime window just crashes but the sublime processes keep running anyways? [21:49] smtwtfs: that it works on windows. there you get drivers and programs from some websites and install them. on ubuntu there is the packagemanagement and the kernel offers already a lot of drivers. [21:49] smtwtfs: in Linux Intel work directly on the Linux kernel, and on the Xorg stack [21:50] smtwtfs: and btw, even windows starts to ship drivers on their own. [21:50] how often is the kernel updated though [21:51] smtwtfs: for Ubuntu, or generally? [21:51] ubuntu [21:51] i hereby will never install ppas again [21:51] smtwtfs: each Ubuntu release has the latest mainline stable kernel that was available during development [21:52] smtwtfs: ubuntu keeps the same main version while on one release. so 15.10 comes with kernel 4.2 and keeps that. but the kernel gets updated builds to fix issues and security issues. [21:52] smtwtfs: mainline development cycle is about 3 months-ish [21:52] k1l_: finished [21:52] what do I do now? [21:52] smtwtfs: but for the LTS you can have the kernel and xorg from the next ubuntu releases. like 15.10 now. so you can have kernel 4.2 in 14.04 [21:52] smtwtfs: this is why Ubuntu Long Term Support releases have the Enablement stack; to bring later kernels and Xorg stack to older releases [21:53] How do I restart the network services? === Warrigal is now known as tswett [21:53] Finetundra__: on what Ubuntu release? [21:53] Or better yet, check the status [21:53] so say I buy a kaby lake nuc when those come out, if the kernel is older than the product I've just bought doesn't it make more sense to get the intel drivers from the site? [21:53] ksft: try to install that .run if you want. [21:53] 14.04.3 I think [21:53] k [21:54] Finetundra__: "sudo service network-manager restart" (or 'status' for the service status) [21:54] smtwtfs: that is why ubuntu ships new kernels and xorg on the 14.04.3 /.4 /.5 isos [21:54] smtwtfs: no, but it would make sense to install the latest kernel release that supports the architecture [21:54] k1l_: how do i remove the two ppas i have, they are in sources.list.d [21:54] smtwtfs: its called "hardware enablement stack" [21:55] !hwe | smtwtfs [21:55] smtwtfs: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [21:55] k1l_: same error [21:55] ksft: ok, try a reboot to make sure the kernel is properly loaded [21:56] ok, thanks. [21:56] makes more sense now [21:56] should I follow the instructions on that page on the wiki you linked to again? [21:56] it says to run `sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-wily xserver-xorg-core-lts-wily xserver-xorg-lts-wily xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-wily xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-wily libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-wily` [21:56] TJ- hmm alright so that worked. But I'm unable to connect to the internet. I can't even ping my router [21:56] ksft: i thought that were intsalled already [21:56] no, there was an error [21:57] ksft: then give it a go.

[21:57] alright, screw it [21:57] im gonna reinstal lubuntu [21:57] bloody rms [21:58] Finetundra__: OK, so first tell us what network interface you expect to be using, is it Wifi or Wired?

[21:58] Wired === KindOne_ is now known as KindOne [21:58] k1l_: I did before: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15475232/ [21:59] Ah, ok, I resolved my issue [21:59] After 5 reboots it works again [22:00] ksft: ok. can you show a "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"? [22:01] k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15475347/ [22:01] ksft: i need the new output because the errormessages might be different and that matters, btw [22:01] k1l_: oh, just a sec [22:01] you guys ever emailed rms? [22:02] im gonna email him and ask why his software and ask why gnu always stall-man ! [22:02] lol! [22:02] I emailed RMS [22:02] To seek his approval before I bought my macbook [22:02] Hello everyone, I need a little help. I'll cut to the chase. All of my ZNC users and Psybnc users and any eggdrops. everything basically that I run from my server has the IDENT on irc exactly the same as the SSH User that I run the znc/psy/egg with. How can I configure the oidentd so that when I add the god damn new user to znc or psybnc it has the ident that I give it and not the $username of [22:02] my linux server that I ran the file with. Can you help? Please? [22:03] what did he say [22:03] He told me, as long as I dont use smack OS, its legit [22:03] "im not glad steve jobs is dead but im glad he's gone" [22:03] k1l_: here's the new output, but I think it's the same: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15475398/ [22:04] k1l_: and /etc/apt/sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15475403/ [22:05] brainwave: is it possible in any way that the spotify ppa screwed my system, what do you think: https://www.spotify.com/uk/download/linux/ [22:05] bobby23: I highly doubt any known ppa like spotify will screw your system so bad that yo u cant boot.

[22:07] bobby23: again, I doubt a usb can stop your system from booting. Its either your kernel thats bad or your boot options. [22:09] Thanks so much!

[23:48] jackcom: run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" to get your ubuntu release to the latest package state [23:48] k1l_: I'm not sure; are you? [23:48] xangua: its discontinued for Linux. Thats why I'm trying to use it via wine [23:48] thanks k1l_ [23:49] these are the directions I'm trying...and its not working in the slightest bit http://jcward.com/Installing+AIR+Apps+On+Linux [23:49] k1l_: should I continue? [23:49] ksft: i dont have a nvidia video card and dont know about that issue [23:49] I'm going to try continuing [23:51] k1l_: "Cannot create symlink /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 (File exists)" [23:51] k1l_: should I "continue installation anyway"? [23:51] ksft: yeah [23:51] k [23:51] but i really wonder what that systems status is. [23:52] I probably broke something a while ago [23:52] it says it finished [23:52] should I reboot and try it again? [23:52] yes [23:52] k [23:53] k1l_: still can't log in [23:54] k1l_: guest session also does not work [23:56] ksft: well, i have no idea how to fix that. that system must have been damaged in the past. everything i see says: install nvidia-352 while using nomodeset and it works [23:56] oh, I didn't use nomodeset [23:56] I got to the login prompt, though, so I assumed it wasn't necessary [23:56] I'll reboot with it [23:56] that should not be needed after the nvidia install [23:58] k1l_: nope, still didn't work [23:58] I'll come back and see if someone else can help tomorrow
