[00:00] i want to uninstall or purge, with apt-get, the java jdk, if it's installed. [00:01] zave: apt purge package. that will remove a package if installed [00:01] okthx. [00:01] 'sudo apt-get remove --purge ' [00:12] hello [00:18] is there something special I need to do to make sure kernel headers are updated when the kernel is through the software updater ? [00:18] Hydr0p0nX: what is the output of "uname -a"? [00:19] 4.2.0-34-generic i believe,it's coming back up without network so it'll take a minute to say for sure [00:20] is it s 15.10? [00:20] 14.04.1 [00:21] 14.04.1 does not have kernel 4.2.0 [00:21] ok. so you are using the wily backports kernel stack. so you need to make sure linux-generic-lts-wily is installed [00:22] Hydr0p0nX: as you see, details matter. because on a non LTS release it would be just linux-generic [00:27] thanks, now to find what i need to fix this [00:29] Hydr0p0nX: Is it intalled ' dpkg -l linux-generic-lts-wily ' ? [00:32] i have problem [00:32] iputra: We have difficulty fixing broken hearts . === Dinner is now known as Dinner4Breakfast [00:35] version none architecture none [00:35] should have been, I followed the instructions on the site to upgrade the HWE [00:40] tell me when you find interesting program for ubuntu [00:40] I found a lot.

See !eol, !eolupgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/vivid [00:41] Bashing-om: why after i run "sudo apt-get upgrade" my ubuntu can not log in to desktop environment stack in gray screen [00:42] !eolupgrade | hp_ [00:42] hp_: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:42] maybe i can try myth [00:43] hp_: there are more than 40.000 packages in Ubuntu. [00:43] hp_: And your release is still dead. [00:43] iputra: Broken proprietary graphics driver, reckon ? [00:45] i have an old computer [00:46] nacc: which doesnt count for the fact you are running an outdated release which isnt supported anymore. [00:46] Bashing-om: this is the problem http://prnt.sc/aj93ax & http://prnt.sc/aj93i0 [00:47] i will retry [00:47] iputra: Look'n . [00:47] with another ubuntu [00:47] Bashing-om: ? [00:50] Bashing-om: i'm not an expert in ubuntu [00:51] bekks: ? [00:51] iputra: In English words, can you describe your problem ? [00:53] I have returned! [00:53] I seem to have fixed my problem. TJ thank you. XD [00:56] Hello. [00:56] I can't log into my router. [00:56] Any help? [00:56] hard reset [00:56] I put a small computer screwdriver into the button on the bottom of the router. I held it there for at least 5 seconds. [00:57] But the password seems not to have changed. [00:57] Any help? [00:57] brand of the router? [00:58] DLink. When I reset it I didn't unplug it [00:58] just turned it off [00:58] could that be why? [00:58] Bashing-om: oke wait [00:58] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XaijQe_2Qw [00:58] iputra: At your pace, as you are able . [00:59] Bashing-om [00:59] OH [00:59] it has to be ON when you reset it? [00:59] I'd like to thank you also [01:00] OK. Off to reset it. [01:00] Glass_: Yeah, Oh ,, TJ- Gets this cookie . [01:00] I've produced a new kernel boot image. How do I enable booting it from GRUB? The reference I'm using just copies it over /boot/vmlinuz, but I would like to choose between the two kernels. [01:00] good night peeps === georg is now known as Guest15370 [01:01] Both of you guys, Bashing-om. Nobody else acknowledged my struggles. Except you too. [01:01] bluefive:: https://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/networking/troubleshooting/dlink624/130274.htm [01:01] Two* [01:02] Glass_: :) Just glad TJ- pointed the way . [01:04] Ubuntu 14.04 is such a hassle with these pre-installed drivers man. XD [01:04] Bashing-om: when i turn off my laptop, my laptop engine still runnig, if it happens then i do force shutdown. sometimes after force shutdown my laptop don't go to the desktop, then i went into tty1 and type "fsck /dev/sda1". after run fsck usually normal returned to normal after i reboot. this will not effect after i perform the command "sudo apt-get upgrade" [01:05] so how do I make sure kernel headers are updated when the kernel is ? I lose network and video driver everytime it changes and end up having to pull a usb wifi adapter off another machine to get it all straightened out [01:06] would there be a sound guru in here I can chat with? I may be missing something or not understanding the technology as I thought with a new sound card. [01:08] Trying to boot another kernel. I copy the kernel image to /boot, and run 'update-grub' but only the old kernel in /boot is detected. [01:11] Is there a quick way I can tell if I enabled home folder encryption on this ubuntu install? [01:11] Bashing-om: when i turn off my laptop, my laptop engine still runnig, if it happens then i do force shutdown. sometimes after force shutdown my laptop don't go to the desktop, then i went into tty1 and type "fsck /dev/sda1". after run fsck usually normal returned to normal after i reboot. this will not effect after i perform the command "sudo apt-get upgrade" [01:12] Hey guys. I accidentally deleted my partition table on my main disk. In effort to restore it I was wondering if anyone knows where the Ubuntu default partition sizing is documented? [01:12] iputra: Bad practice to run 'fsck' on a mounted file system . What release are you running ? Seems there is a different method to properly invoke a forced file system check in systemd . [01:12] LVM + LUKS specifically [01:13] bluefive, if you can do key-based ssh auth while not logged in to the machine, then you haven't. [01:13] wow.. annoying b1 update issue: [01:13] Bashing-om: willy werewolf with mate desktop environment [01:13] Could not install '/var/cache/apt/archives/systemd-sysv_229-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb' [01:14] bluefive: I think you can do an ls -A /home in the terminal and see if there is an .ecryptfs folder? [01:14] that looks potentially like a problem.. guess I'll find out [01:14] Could not install 'systemd-sysv' === sami_ is now known as Guest1270 [01:15] ls -A /home doesn't do anything [01:15] I hope that doesn't break every sysv package... [01:15] What's that? [01:15] ls -a you mean bluefive? [01:15] so I do ls -a? [01:15] And see if there's an encryptfs folder? [01:16] bluefive: I'm not sure what you're doing but yes it should show if you have one [01:16] and it's not mounted [01:16] Hello [01:16] Hello? ;-; [01:16] fattire, But it would be mounted if I am logged into the system. [01:16] bluefive: ls -la would work [01:16] fattire, Would it show if it's mounted? [01:16] fattire, he's trying to see if his home drive is encrypted [01:16] bluefive: actually yeah it's fine if it's mounted [01:16] cr0wmatic: oh [01:17] I don't see one yet. [01:17] bluefive: just do mount | grep yourusername [01:17] you should see something like [01:17] /home/.ecryptfs/yourusername/.Private on /home/yourusername type ecryptfs [01:19] this is gonna suck: Could not install '/var/cache/apt/archives/systemd-sysv_229-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb' [01:19] Isn't there a way I can just type a command to see if encryptfs is installed? [01:19] I'm assuming this provides backwards compatibility to sysv ? [01:19] bluefive: dude I told you [01:19] mount | grep yourusername [01:20] if it's mounted as a cryptfs it'll tell you [01:20] if you want to know if cryptfs is installed: [01:20] dpkg -l | grep cryptfs [01:21] That does nothing. [01:21] that's a minus -l (L) not (1) [01:22] if it does nothing then you probably don't have it installed [01:22] I copied it just as you wrote it. [01:22] Do I first have to type mount | grep username before that works? [01:23] they are independent of one another [01:23] Well maybe I don't have it installed. [01:23] Bashing-om: maybe i should reinstall it ? [01:23] if 'mount | grep bluefive' (or whatever your username is) doesn't output anything, I'd expect it not to be encrypted === chu_ is now known as chu [01:24] bluefive: when I say "username" I mean bluefive or whatever your username is [01:24] I don't mean literally "username" [01:24] I don't know what you called your user [01:24] so I said "username" [01:24] or "yourusername" [01:24] thts like equal of changing nick wiht advice /nick newnick , and someone does it exactly like that [01:24] when you set up your account maybe you called it "bluefive" in which case you'd say [01:24] mount | grep bluefive === absk007_ is now known as absk007 [01:25] Yes. [01:25] it says: [01:25] also that | thing is a vertical line or "pipe" and it's made with shift-\ [01:25] (usually, depending on your keyboard) [01:25] --> /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=orde [01:25] then after orde it says my username. [01:26] that means... and get read for an explanation... [01:26] so what it means is [01:26] /dev/sda is the name of your storage device-- hard drive or ssd or whatever [01:26] /dev/sda1 is the first partition of the device [01:26] iputra: Maybe not a re-onstall .. looking for a way to properly run a file system check at bootup in systemd. [01:27] it is a file system of the ext4 type-- [01:27] it is mounted at / <-- the root of your directory [01:27] I just want to know if I have encryptfs installed or if my home dir is encrypted, remember? [01:28] Now that you mention it, I suppose I am learning about my file system. [01:29] it has a few characteristics, such that it is mounted rw or able to read and write, etc [01:30] k, no sound gurus, anyone have 5.1 surround working through spdif? [01:30] if it does not tell you that /home/bluefive (or whatever, I'm just going ot say "bluefive" is your account from now on) is mounted as cryptfs (and assuming that you ARE logged in) then I think that you are not using cryptfs [01:31] Well, can I look for cryptfs in my graphical file manager? [01:31] Or would it not appear? [01:31] bluefive: you would see /home/.cryptfs with ls -la [01:31] if you don't see it, if you only see /home/bluefive then you're unlikely to be using it [01:32] I don't see any "home" at all. [01:32] i dont use fb anymore [01:32] bluefive: ls -la /home [01:33] ?? [01:33] jjwaxxx, you won't miss it [01:33] I did that. [01:33] yes i think [01:33] That means I'm in the home dir now? [01:33] Hi [01:34] bluefive, running 'ls -la /home' will show you the folders in the /home directory. If you don't see a .cryptfs folder, it's not encrypted [01:34] I don't see it. [01:34] Then I wonder why my fan is running hard whenever I do anything. [01:34] you have your answer, not encrypted [01:35] any body worked with graphicsmagick , i want to get a one pixel RGB color but i dont know how ! [01:35] bluefive, for future reference say that first before investigating your guesses [01:36] I have X,Y of the pixel , and the path of Bmp image :) [01:36] i try to download 15 10 [01:36] ouroumov, Someone said that encryptfs causes the fan to run hard if the system lacks AES-NI. [01:36] bluefive, how old is the hardware? What are the top CPU-using processes listed in htop? [01:36] htop not installed. [01:37] i have pidgin but dont works [01:37] installing now. [01:37] htop [01:37] PID 1267 is the top task [01:37] that's firefox. [01:38] Watch htop for a while. [01:38] stoppe [01:38] PID numbers are meaningless to the problem at hand [01:38] bluefive, next kill firefox, and see if your CPU stops venting [01:39] high speed at night [01:40] Yes, that made it go quiet. [01:40] hmm [01:41] So maybe some javascript was screwing around [01:41] But that doesn't mean anything. If the home dir was encrypted Firefox could cause the fan to run hard. [01:41] But we've already established it isn't, bluefive. [01:41] Well, I never saw encryptfs when I did the commands you suggested. [01:42] bluefive, is firefox, and the system in general, up to date? [01:42] ha, goodbye pulse, you were fun before I broke you [01:43] bluefive: Fo rolder hardware I recommend some plugins for firefox like 'ghostery' and 'adblock plus' or adblock on /etc/hosts level. Not only does it redouce data transfer, but also CPU time blocking all these animated ads... [01:44] Ah the title tells me :( [01:44] no beta release yet [01:44] Good thing i read that instead of getting kicked :P [01:44] Yes [01:44] going to return the system for a fanless. [01:44] I've never been around for a beta release; is it typically near the end of the day before the release happens, or this abnormal? [01:45] When I went to the ghostery page it said it requires javascript [01:45] so I already had javascript disabled. [01:45] Had to use the non-jS ghostery page. [01:45] !+1 | ryan_turner [01:45] erhf [01:45] Aw [01:45] bye :( [01:45] ryan_turner, see topic [01:45] Oh, yeah my chat client cuts off at "IS NOT RE" [01:45] ^^ [01:46] I understand it's not released; guess I'll look for past beta releases to determine if late in the evening is typical. [01:46] bluefive: Use the firefox extensions option in the settings and ad the extension to firefox. [01:48] iputra: For a file system check at boot, we make an edit to the boot parameter in grub boot. === fasterca1 is now known as fastercat [01:48] i try to install 15 10 [01:50] Bashing-om: how to enter grub manually [01:50] What's an API that would allow me to monitor (and ideally preempt) TCP/IP connections made on my linux box?

In this screen is the boot line containing "quiet splash"; add " fsck.mode=force " - without the quote marks . key combo ctl+x to continue the boot process . [01:59] bluefive: If you don't have any proprietary amd/nvidia driver installed, that helps. If you have a 64bit system installed, the CPU of the other machine should also support 64bit (probably no problem nowadays). I have done that already and also use a complete ubuntu installation on a USB stick on various machines without any problem. [02:01] i need unetbootin?? [02:02] jjwaxxx: for what? [02:02] there is 15.04 avayable [02:02] Bashing-om: so like this "queit splash fsck.mode=force" ? [02:02] for install ubuntu [02:03] does audio always go through alsa to pulseaudio? [02:04] iputra: Yeah ,,, but no quote marks at all . if this is a legacy system it is a shift key that grub looks for rather than the escape key . [02:04] cr0wmatic: pulseaudio sits on top of alsa, always [02:04] Bashing-om: yeah i know [02:04] there's oss, but it's best not even thought of [02:04] Bashing-om: okay [02:06] reisio and pulseaudio sits on top of it in Ubuntu by default because it provides more than alsa? I'll read up on it, but attempting to fix some 5.1 digital issues [02:07] cr0wmatic: Ubuntu uses pulseaudio by default, yes, and it requires alsa as well [02:07] hey trere is bitcoin [02:08] ola [02:08] reisio: ty [02:08] ola amigos [02:08] ola [02:09] ai qual é a novidade no mundo linuz [02:09] ciapa i bit coin [02:09] !

[02:23] This product here. Can I run a Ubuntu system off it permanently or is it intended for short-term usage like transfers? [02:24] i have from ps4 [02:24] Blueking: that's an enclosure not a hd [02:24] but dont work [02:24] but it looks fast enough to use [02:25] i dont want GRUB {boot loader) messing up my Win10 boot [02:25] the enclosure I mean [02:26] but i like having a dual boot windows / linux machine [02:27] voyager is great but no free software [02:27] it has kodi [02:27] Bashing-om: look this http://prnt.sc/aj93j0, i have add fsck.mode=force [02:28] hi [02:28] ok byeeeee [02:29] byee [02:30] hey [02:32] bluefive: you can, however, run GNU/Linux from a drive within an external enclosure, for as long as you please [02:32] GNU/Linux doesn't care where your storage is; storage is storage, is storage [02:34] reisio: know anything about windows / linux dual booting? [02:34] ubuntu903: look'n [02:34] BEER_: sure [02:35] kopo_: ohai [02:35] im reading this page right now: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:35] BEER_: I'm reading this channel right now [02:35] we could be brothers! [02:35] i think thats a start [02:35] BEER_: Ubuntu's installer will, most of the time, hold your hand through dual booting [02:35] no special knowledge required [02:35] k [02:36] there's an option at the outset with wording something like 'install alongside...' [02:36] ok so it should work with windows 10 professional [02:36] BEER_: most likely, Windows 10 is Windows NT [02:37] Windows NT is what Windows has been for the past 22 years [02:37] hasn't really changed that much, at the bottom [02:37] ubuntu903: Try ' fsck.repair=preen ' as a boot parameter to fix the filwe system . [02:37] Yes [02:38] But that there is not an external enclosure. [02:38] It's an enclosure that converts the mSATA to a regular SSD. [02:38] My question is if that is just as reliable as a regular SSD. [02:38] just got done saying where the storage is isn't relevant :) [02:39] bluefive: mmm, anytime you introduce more to do the same thing you could do with less, you introduce more unreliability [02:39] bluefive: but it'll probably work just fine [02:39] see #hardware for a hardware opinion [02:39] bluefive, what reisio said. More components = more things that can go wrong [02:40] working just fine forever and necessarily being more complex and theoretically less reliable are two different things is all [02:40] s/forever and necessarilyforever /and/ necessarily@ [02:40] whoopses [02:40] anyway :p [02:41] reisio: So it's probably a good idea to get that enclosure to use my existing mSATA with the system as opposed to spending twice as much for a new SSD. In your view? [02:42] exit [02:49] evening. [02:50] anyone with an idea of what this means or how to fix it?

[02:56] Nice thing about the enclosure is that I will probably be able to start over with the new system with all my stuff already installed and good to go. [02:56] bluefive: no way [02:57] fattire: No way what? [02:57] I wouldn't use an enclosure for a primary boot device [02:57] fattire: Why not? [02:57] Is there something I don't know? [02:57] for one thing it's pretty inconvenient [02:57] No, it's just an enclosure like this: [02:57] you want to carry around the hard drive you're booting off of?

[02:58] The system doesn't support mSATA but I have mSATA, not regular SSD. [02:58] Yes. [02:58] oh I see [02:58] when you say regular ssd... [02:58] What's the correct terminology? [02:58] chat support? [02:59] Is this ubuntu chat support? [02:59] bluefive: mSata is like a tiny little card-- this basically looks like it converts that smaller size to a regular size [02:59] Rothbardian21: Yes. [02:59] Rothbardian21: yes how may I take your order? [02:59] fattire: Yes, exactly. Do you think it's just as reliable and safe as a normal SSD? [02:59] bluefive: Yes I have some issues with ubuntu 15.10. [03:00] bluefive: this converts msata the tiny card size to regular sata iii -- a regular hard drive sized thing [03:00] bluefive: yes but you'll be spending a lot of money [03:00] I am seem to be unabl eto install anything either from terminal or the software center, the software center doesn't load up either. [03:00] why not just get a regular sata drive without the converter and without the overhead of msata [03:00] fattire: It says: "Short circuit protection, Thermal shutdown protection" -- does this mean that these enclosures can be prone to short circuits and thermal issues or is this just overboard protection? [03:00] fattire: But it's only $25 and it makes my existing mSATA function like an ordinary sized SSD. [03:01] Rothbardian21: Unity? [03:01] bluefive: I'm guessing it's the same "protection" you'll find in a regular sata device.. get a samsung evo ssd and don't get the enclosure [03:01] bluefive: Yes, with Macbuntu transformation pack. [03:01] bluefive: what existing msata? [03:02] Rothbardian21: macbuntu? [03:02] oh does that make it all mac-like? [03:02] fattire: https://www.amazon.ca/Kingston-Digital-SSDNow-SMS200S3-60G/dp/B00COFMPAM/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458873590&sr=1-2-fkmr1&keywords=msata+kingston+kg [03:02] Rothbardian21: you need ot be really specific [03:02] fattire: I have one of these. Beautiful drive. [03:02] fattire: Yes, it's a series of icon/theme/dock add-ons to make it look like mac os x. [03:03] Rothbardian21: and what is the error you have and what do you do that generates it [03:03] bluefive: I am also unable to access any website. [03:03] I am trying to echo to my keyboard backlight on startup, but I am finding that the permissions of the file keep getting overwritten on reboot. How would I get around this? [03:03] bluefive: oh so you already have a mSata device in your computer? [03:03] fattire: Yes, but this new computer does't support mSATA. [03:03] So I either need an enclosure for the mSATA or a new SSD. [03:03] brendenyule: you could force it every time to be reset maybe (rc.local?) [03:04] bluefive: OHHHHHHHHHh [03:04] bluefive: now I undersand [03:04] bluefive: Though I am connected via ethernet. When I origionally installed, I figured the skylake processor may be to blame, as it was also an issue with opensuse. I recently installed a newer kernel on opensuse and it fixed everything, though I am unable to install anything in ubuntu. [03:04] okay then get the enclosure i guess... and/or a new SSD might be a good idea too [03:04] fattire: What's the con of the enclosure? Is it just as safe and reliable as a regular SSD? [03:04] fattire: Let me try to reinstall software center again and see what it tells me. [03:04] Rothbardian21: again, what is the error you see, and waht do you type [03:05] bluefive: it will be as "good" as the mSATA ssd. so if you're happy with the speed and size and such, it should be fine. The advantage of a dedicated SSD is that you benefit from the recent unbelievable drops in price per gigabyte in the last year... so you can probably get a high storage capacity for cheap [03:06] bluefive: depends on what twice as much is, IMO [03:06] 2x$5 is negligible [03:06] fattire: Temporary failure resolving us.archive.ubuntu.com [03:06] 2x$30 is negligible [03:06] Enclosure is $25. New SSD will be $80. [03:06] bluefive: for example, the sata ssd that you have, which is 60gb-- has dropped significantly in the last year http://ca.camelcamelcamel.com/Kingston-Digital-SSDNow-SMS200S3-60G/product/B00COFMPAM [03:07] Also with the enclosure I may be able to resume with my Ubuntu and everything already configured as it is. With the new SSD I'll have to start over. [03:07] fattire: E: Unable to fetch some archivesmaybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? [03:07] Rothbardian21: that is a dns issue-- meaning something is wrong with your connection [03:07] fattire: Yes, but a regular SSD will cost me about $80 Canadian. [03:07] fattire: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00M8ABCZM/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1K3SQICSA2UF7 [03:08] fattire: I see. I have wifi running my desktop (windows 10), and the laptop with ubuntu is plugged in via ethernet, I never have any issues with connection on opensuse either. [03:08] bluefive: if you don't want to upgrade, and just want to move the existing SSD as cheaply as possible, then go for the enclosure. If you want to use this as an opportunity to upgrade your storage, then get a full SATA SSD. [03:08] Rothbardian21: what do you see when you type ifconfig [03:08] do you see something like eth0 listed with an IP address? [03:09] hi all [03:09] whenever I click "reply" on thunderbird, my new message will be written under all emails, I want to reply latest on top of previous emails [03:09] how could I do? [03:09] Rothbardian21: do you mean plugged in from your ubuntu laptop->desktop (windows) or do you mean plugged in from ubuntu laptop->router? [03:09] fattire: Tell me this: if the existing system is a Pentium 3805U mini PC and the new system is a Braswell N3150, is it likely I can use the mSATA from the old system in the new one and my Ubuntu will work just as it does already? [03:10] bluefive: if your new computer supports SATA, then yes the enclosure should work-- but if you're asking if you can take the SSD and just pop it in and have it continue to work as is, I'm going to guess there will be issues [03:10] because the hardware will be different [03:10] fattire: Laptop is plugged into router. The ifconfig shows lots of errors on the packets, no dropped packets though. [03:11] fattire: What kind of issues? It's a Broadwell system to a Braswell system. Quite similar, no? [03:11] Rothbardian21: typically plugging ethernet in should "just work" in ubuntu, but if not you can check to make sure you are plugge dinto the router... check if you have a valid IP on eth0 [03:12] bluefive: for example, they may have different video cards [03:12] fattire: But they both have integrated GPUs. [03:12] Intel graphics. [03:12] bluefive-- if it falls back to intel it might be okay [03:13] What do you mean falls back to Intel? [03:13] i mean if you haven't tweaked the settings to customize it to the hardware too much [03:13] No, I haven't. [03:13] if the bios on both will allow unsigned stuff etc [03:13] or is it signed with ubuntu I'm not even sure [03:13] I mean, you could try it and mayb eit would just be like a live cd compatible and work immediately [03:13] If there are issues will Ubuntu auto fix them? [03:13] fattire: The "Edit Connections" brought up nothing, which is odd since I remember manually configuring that in the past. The ifconfig did correctly list my ip address and mask. [03:13] bluefive: some issues it will... [03:14] bluefive: but if there are issues you can always come back here [03:14] bluefive: and there will be logs and such so you can debug it :) [03:14] Rothbardian21: can you ping successfully such as [03:14] ping 8.8.8.8 ? [03:14] and see a ping back? [03:14] fattire: lets see [03:14] fer 5 [03:15] fattire: May be better to start over. [03:15] What do you think? [03:15] Try it first? [03:15] would I type "ping 8.8.8.8?" [03:15] yup [03:15] that will try to connect to 8.8.8.8 which is google's nameserver [03:15] you sohuld see some kind of ping time reported [03:15] or if it can't connect, it should tell you that as well. [03:17] fattire: how do I stop the ping? Noob question I know. [03:17] control-C [03:17] thanks [03:17] ctrl+c [03:17] 5% packet loss [03:17] if it worked right you should see [03:17] 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=52 time=12.1 ms [03:17] a bunch of itmes [03:18] and yeah at the end it should say what 0% loss [03:18] that packet loss should be zero [03:18] if you have packets being lost, your connection is flaky fo rsome reason [03:18] fattire: it says multiple numbers on "ms", the one directly after the = sign is 42.910 ms [03:18] yes that's good [03:18] that's good news [03:19] now try something with a domain name [03:19] like cnn.com [03:19] ping cnn.com [03:19] k [03:19] and see if it is able to look up cnn.com and turn it to the IP #s. [03:19] something dot something dot something dot something [03:19] unknown host [03:19] trying google.com [03:20] okay.. so you are having a DNS issue where it can't get the number for the name. [03:20] fattire: yea it says unknown host. [03:20] okay try this [03:20] do you know how to use nano? or gedit? [03:21] fattire: isn't gedit just like notepad basically? [03:21] yes [03:21] try typing this [03:21] k [03:21] sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces [03:21] you should see a line that says something like [03:21] auto eth0 [03:21] under that add: [03:22] dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 [03:22] this will tell it to use google's nameservers by default [03:22] then after you saved that you just restart the network with two lines: [03:22] sudo ifdown eth0 [03:22] followed by [03:23] sudo ifup eth0 [03:23] or you could use [03:23] sudo ifconfig eth0 down [03:23] fattire: ok, it opened gedit, and it says "auto lo." [03:23] and sudo ifconfig eth0 up === littlebunnyfufu is now known as SonikkuAmerica [03:23] add the dns-nameservers line [03:23] add add auto eth0 while you're at it [03:23] so have it say [03:23] auto lo [03:23] fattire: no server info is listed, it does say interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) [03:24] auto eth0 [03:24] dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 [03:24] add that to your interfaces file [03:24] ok, so edit it with auto etho, [03:24] it's not etho with an o [03:24] it's eth0 [03:24] zero [03:24] in fact let me look at my file one sec [03:24] eth0 [03:24] gotcha === MobGod is now known as Mob [03:25] yeah... the most important part is the dns-nameservers line [03:25] fattire: on adding the dns servers to my interface line, where should I place it, the line begins with # interfaces(5) [03:26] add it to the end [03:26] and leave the ifup(8) and ifupdown (8) alone, put it after those? [03:26] yes [03:26] ifupdown(8)* [03:26] k [03:27] Rothbardian21: I also found a place you can set this in the UI [03:27] got it [03:27] if you go under Settings->Network [03:27] Wired-> [03:27] ok... [03:28] Wired Connection... IPV4 settings--> Additional DNS servers [03:28] you can add [03:28] 8.8.8.8 [03:28] make sure method says automatic (DHCP) assuming that's how your router is working [03:29] fattire: it says error editing connection, "did not find a connection with UUID '(null)'." [03:30] Rothbardian21: what says this [03:30] the UI or gedit or somewher eelse? [03:30] But I know I can get to where your saying by going to edit connections [03:30] fattire: When i try to click on options under system settings/network/wired [03:30] https://askubuntu.com/questions/590196/restore-wired-network-connection [03:31] maybe a configuration line got corrupted as it suggests in teh above askubuntu.com page? [03:31] you can check [03:31] k [03:32] I have gedit ready to save, and I suppose I coul dmanually add the network again through edit connections. I beieve thats how I originally did it. [03:33] fattire: also still investigating the link you sent me, looks line they went in to the files and used gedit to restore correct mac address. [03:33] yeah... you can try doing that [03:34] file manager crashing : P [03:35] wow stuff is messed up [03:35] Yea, I wonder if its the macbuntu transformation packs. Though I have to say they are the main reason for me having ubuntu, looks amazing. [03:36] It doesn't show anything under my etc folder. [03:37] you must have stuff under /etc [03:37] or else... nothing would work [03:37] hi all [03:37] how to install telegram? [03:37] okay I'm gonna go.. good luck roth [03:37] I tried to install as per http://sourcedigit.com/16949-install-telegram-via-ppa-on-ubuntu-15-04-ubuntu-14-04-linux-mint/ [03:37] you just need to get dns going :) [03:37] but i can't find how to launch [03:38] fattire: I click on computer, then etc, nothing there. [03:38] nevermind, it finally loaded, just took a long while. [03:38] ;) [03:40] fattire: I click on either my SSID or the "wired connection 1", on both accounts it says "Could not display, the file is of an unknown type." [03:41] Guyts, did final beta got released ? [03:42] arunpyasi: does the answer to that question get you something? [03:42] today’s messed up question, how can curl http://archive.ubuntu.com work but curl http://www.ubuntu.com not? [03:42] Tried to open it with gedit, says "you do not have the permissions necessary to open this file." [03:42] you have a permissions problem [03:42] stormmore: well, they're different strings [03:42] reisio: yes, I would like to try it out :D [03:43] reisio: I see http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/xenial/beta-2/ but no idea which to pick for my desktop experience. [03:44] yeah I get that reisio, but DNS is working, a machine in the same rack works fine. I know it is something I have messed up just trying to determine where to look === Matthew is now known as Guest64950 [03:44] I have a python script that's running as a daemon with supervisor. Very simple script, it calls an API every 5 minutes. The response is somehow being cached, however. I can reproduce this outside the script/daemon in the python shell, so I don't think it's related to python. [03:44] If I change a meaningless part of the URL it pulls the data just fine. [03:45] Rothbardian21: you have to sudo if you edit the file [03:45] Anyone know what could be caching the response? I don't even know where to look. === Guest64950 is now known as MatthewH [03:46] arunpyasi: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [03:46] When I type ENCRYPTFS in my terminal nothing happens. [03:46] Command not found. [03:46] stormmore: what're you even trying to do? [03:46] bluefive: ecryptfs (don't ask) [03:47] Oh [03:47] How would I open it with sudo under terminal, I don't see a "sudo" option with right-clicking the file or using the GUI. [03:47] Rothbardian21: gksu or pkexec [03:47] ecryptfsd is not installed. [03:47] If I have home dir encrypted how can that be? [03:48] I've received an error. Can anyone help resolve it http://askubuntu.com/questions/749833/unable-to-load-pgadmin3 [03:48] bluefive: it's case sensitive [03:48] bluefive: 'ecryptfs' [03:48] Rothbardian21: you start a command with "sudo" (do as superuser) [03:48] this checks to make sure you're the administrator and if so will do it with root privilages [03:49] as seen here https://xkcd.com/149/ [03:49] reisio: That does nothing in the terminal. [03:49] Says the program isn't installed. [03:49] bluefive: you have asked several times if your directory is encrypted and we all agree that it isn't. [03:49] LOL. [03:49] and then the brainwave hits me, archive.ubuntu.com has IPv6 enabled and the system choose ipv6 over the ipv4. www.ubuntu.com is only returning ipv4 and the ipv4 route is failing :-/ [03:50] fattire: when i first put Ubuntu on the mSATA I am sure I enabled home dir encryption. However I couldn't for the life of me remember if I started over fresh WITHOUT encryption. [03:50] fattire: I got that much, but I couldn't install gksu of course. [03:50] bluefive you aren't. [03:50] bluefive, move on already [03:51] ouroumov: Just making sure the system is not dragging because of encryption. [03:51] You did that already bluefive [03:52] Well then I'll take your word for it. [03:52] Manually adding the connection now, just lik eyou said and like I would of thought, ethernet shoul djust work. [03:52] wait a second, bluefive are you encrypted? [03:54] I'm crying with joy at my launcher on the bottom 16.04 [03:54] though the upgrade was horrible. [03:55] Ubuntu MATE Beta 2 is out! [03:55] ubuntu standard is out too [03:55] but beware unless you like shit crashing don't do it yet [04:04] hello can i ask a question [04:05] can i transfer persistent data from live usb to another? [04:05] yes [04:06] how can i do that? [04:06] one way is FTP [04:06] just mount the 2nd one, depending on the live cd it might even automount [04:07] jej: just copy it [04:07] :Quit [04:07] I am generally not the best at non-command line tricks :) [04:07] what file to copy? i used the ubuntu startup disk creator to create live usb with persistence [04:08] jej: files are files, you copy the ones you want [04:10] resio I think I get what he is talking about [04:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence [04:11] stormmore: r-e-i-TAB [04:11] yes, persistence [04:11] im just asking because my installation was deleted after updating software [04:11] sorry reisio usuaully do :) [04:12] jej: wha? [04:12] and apparently I can’t type to save myself today [04:12] i have ubuntu liveusb, and tried to update softwares then reboot, but it says cannot find filesystem [04:13] yeah well you could create another and then mount the first to grab any data you want off it [04:14] most like you are having a different issue [04:14] so i cant update packages when running off liveusb? [04:15] jej: not simply, no [04:15] not persistently [04:15] how about install? i'm quite new to this obviously === toxic is now known as ubuntu-nix === sandeep is now known as Guest66838 === toxic_ is now known as ububnto === MatthewH is now known as MatthewDHenninge [04:20] jej: you can update easily from a non-"live" environment, yes [04:20] ouroumov: What do you mean BETA 2? [04:20] Of the next LTS? [04:20] fattire: That's what I was trying to figure out... [04:20] if I was encrypted or not. [04:20] I installed the Ubuntu 2 months ago and forgot if I did so with or without home dir encryption. [04:20] I was kidding [04:21] But I am curious if you're encrypted [04:21] Again ^ kidding [04:21] But really, are you encrypted? [04:21] bluefive, yes. 16.04 Beta 2 [04:21] That of course was a joke. [04:21] ouroumov: Is it as stable as 15.10? [04:21] I use Ubuntu MATE too. [04:21] I'm using it on my pi maybe I'll update that. [04:21] bluefive, it's not supposed to be [04:22] ouroumov: So I should stay with 15.10 for now? [04:22] ouroumov: If I want the beta can I get it from the auto updater in Ubuntu? [04:23] reisio: i understand thanks! [04:24] 有中国用户吗 [04:24] bluefive, you should read the release announcement off the website: https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-xenial-beta2/ and then decide what you want to do. :) [04:24] <[an]onymous> http://adf.ly/1Yk9Jw Please tell me if this is real or not.. [04:24] 嗨 [04:25] ouroumov: Can I upgrade my system to the beta using the software center? [04:26] hansai: #ubuntu-cn [04:28] hey all [04:31] bluefive, there's a way to do it, but I don't know what it is. I always do a clean reinstall from iso [04:32] ouroumov: You mean you don' [04:32] t upgrade your LTS to a new LTS? You start over 100%? [04:33] bluefive, yes. [04:33] After backing up my data, obviously [04:34] why? [04:36] ouroumov: Must take you a lot of time reconfiguring everything though. [04:36] Takes hours to get a system the way you like it. [04:37] my update bombed out and it's back working.. without reinstalling anything [04:37] except for the nvidia drivers [04:37] and systemd-sysv [04:38] bluefive, it takes me one hour max. [04:39] ouroumov: To install all your programs as well etc? [04:39] Yes [04:39] ouroumov: And all your Firefox addons and everything configured jut as you like it? [04:40] <[an]onymous> Anyone tell me if this image is real...? http://adf.ly/1Yk9Jw [04:40] Yes. Usually the longest to set up is thunderbird. [04:41] ( I do post-update and initial software installation on a high bandwidth connection, though. ) [04:43] [an]onymous: eh? [04:45] ouroumov: Well, that's impressive. [04:45] You must backup all your data and bookmarks. [04:45] Do you use a special app to do that?

[04:47] ouroumov: So you just copy your /home to a flash drive? [04:49] bluefive, I have an incremental backup of /home on an external HDD. That's in case something goes very wrong. If the install goes without major problem only the system partition is formatted/rewritten and the /home is intact after the installation. [04:50] what was that image from [an]? I'm afraid to click it.. [04:51] fattire: just good ole fashioned spam [04:51] oh okay [04:51] hey all [04:51] hey just yous [04:51] is step 1 of these docs still vailid for ubuntu 15? [04:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN === silvian is now known as silvian_ [04:53] i have an eth0 iface defined in a sub directory, i think what I'll do is move everything into the main interfaces file [04:54] FuriousGeorge: or edit the subdirecory if you can [04:54] the file in teh subdirectory I mean [04:56] fattire: i would have to add another interface file for br0 if i were to do it right [04:56] wouldn't i? [04:56] then there is that bit about dropping eth0 and bringing it back up, which im not sure if it should remain in the main file [04:56] i guess ill try it that way first [04:57] FuriousGeorge: yeah I think so I set up openvpn a while back on a headless server.. [04:57] let me quickly see how I did it [04:58] looks like what i should do is replace the contents of eth0.cfg with the latter half of that example file in step 1 [04:58] and create a br0 with the first half [04:58] while making sure to automatically bring up the interface in the main faile [04:58] main file [04:58] FuriousGeorge: strangely I don't see any changes to interfaces or anything in interfaces.d [04:59] although it is working [04:59] fattire: ur probably using the bridge-start script [04:59] are you in a vps? [05:00] oh yeah that's why [05:00] that's totally why-- it's linode and it sets that file automatically [05:01] so it would have overwritten it... [05:05] i wodner if GCE gonna overwrite my now working setup [05:05] I noticed in the RC for ubuntu 16.04 vim is compiled without python support. Will this be changed once released?

[06:15] i have 2 ethernet ports bonded together. do i have to stop doing that to create a bridge? [06:16] DirtyCajun: I believe so, bridge and bond are fairly similar with subtle differences - bridge forwards packets from one port to the other, bond does not. both present the two ports as a single port to the host [06:16] Triffid_Hunter: but you can have a bridge with only a single port [06:17] so could there be a sneaky way to make my bridge think my single port is my bond? [06:17] DirtyCajun: you can have a bond with only a single port too, then add and remove other ports at runtime [06:17] ah. that makes sense [06:19] hi...i want mount my ntfs partition but i receive this error plz help me .... mount: only root can use "--types" option [06:19] reza_sam@admin:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/ntfs_stick [06:19] sudo: unable to resolve host admin [06:19] [sudo] password for reza_sam: [06:19] The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).

[07:16] Dylan____: right packagename? chromium-browser [07:16] Ok thanks [07:17] Ozeragb: the amount of ram is irrelevant for that, as you only use one OS at the time. But diskspace might matter.

[09:14] there's a couple of extra variables I see them setting [09:15] Any downside to installing CPU censors in my Ubuntu install? [09:15] How come by default the hardware manager doesn't have the sensors for CPU temp installed? [09:16] it could be missing the drivers for it [09:16] I guess it's because they're not always work [09:17] some channel needs to have invitation to join, how to get it? [09:18] bluefive: why do you feel that you need CPU censors? does your box usually run hot? [09:20] I want to know the temperature difference when I have my mini PC sitting on an external fan that is turned on [09:20] vs turned off. [09:20] For some reason the top of my mini PC (like a NUC) feels cooler after I've had it sitting with the fan turned on [09:20] vs turned off. [09:21] I don't know why since the fan is just blowing on the bottom of the motherboard. The CPU is on the other side. [09:21] hmmm [09:22] that's odd [09:22] how can i solve this : mount: /dev/sdc6: can't read superblock ? [09:23] It's also blowing the CPU exhaust away faster [09:23] by blowing up. The exhaust comes out the side at the top of the box. [09:23] How install mysql server on ubuntu 16.04? [09:23] My fan is an AC Infinity external box fan. It's blowing UP. My unit is the MSI Cubi NUC-like mini PC. [09:23] do you know how to install the sensors? [09:24] The MSI cubi has some vents in the bottom of the unit, but the bottom of the unit is the underside of the motherboard where the memory and mSATA and wi-fi card are plugged in. [09:24] Dro: if there's supposed to be data on there, it's time to restore from backups. [09:24] My mysql installation keep returning error message. It said it cant set/change password for mysql root user [09:24] Seveas, i have no backup :( [09:25] The top of the board on the other side of the motherboard is where the CPU and heatsink and fan are. [09:25] samurai99, Yes. I saw a webpage that says how. Do you think there is any disadvantage to having them installed? [09:25] I wonder why by default they aren't installed. [09:25] Dro: then it's time to weep. And break out dd_rescue and photorec. [09:26] bluefive: I don't see any disadvantage. Just like most sensors aren't automatically installed when you do a fresh install of windows. User preference [09:27] samurai99, Well, the sensors are only going to be on when I explicitly call them from a hardware monitor program, right? [09:28] not if you load them as an applet [09:28] I just don't like bulk. Same reason I don't like the home dir encryption Ubuntu allows you to install. [09:29] I mean, I don't want something constantly probing my CPU for its temperature. You're saying it will only do that when I have the applet explicitly open. [09:30] I do believe the external fan is taking the load off the internal fan. [09:30] My unit feels noticeably cooler to the touch. === FuriousGeorge_ is now known as FuriousGeorge [09:30] Could simply be that it's getting the hot exhaust away from the unit much quicker. [09:30] Blowing that hot exhaust straight up as soon as it comes out. [09:31] im not sure. I don't use any mini pcs [09:31] did you see the link I sent you? [09:32] Could even be that some of the air blowing into the unit is making its way to the other side of the motherboard and then bouncing off the top of the case onto the CPU. [09:32] It's hard to say. [09:32] Yes. I went there to install the sensors. [09:32] ok [09:32] This will show me what effect the fan is having. [09:32] One task I do that gets my unit working hard is the Ubuntu software update. [09:33] I've got quite a powerful 1.9 GHz CPU that really gets called into action when all my software is checked for updates. [09:34] you have an internal fan right? shouldn't be an issue. [09:36] @bluefive are you worried your pc might get damaged by the heat? [09:37] but you can install sensors to get that info [09:39] I bet there's some applets to know temperature [09:39] That's esp powerful given the tiny enclosure it sits in. [09:39] You can see how that stresses the internal fan. [09:39] Just ran the update and by the end of it the internal fan was ramped up and really pushing out the hot exhaust. [09:39] samurai99, [09:39] Can I use these sensors to adjust the fan control? [09:39] "Running fancontrol when booting should work out of the box. After installing lm-sensors, the fancontrol script is treated as a service and should be found under /etc/init.d/fancontrol." [09:39] wee [09:40] netsplit [09:40] just apt-get sensors-applet [09:44] anyone on gnome can suggest a tiling solution [09:45] "Remote host closed socket" [09:45] Does this mean the server pulled my connection? === FuriousGeorge_ is now known as FuriousGeorge [09:55] Appears my server went down.

How can I fix this? [10:23] zol, if it's (hd0,msdos1), then write it (hd0,msdos1) and not (hd0,1) [10:23] abhishek: I'd change the install routine [10:24] abhishek: installing nautlius just for that is bad, it will pull in a LOT of stuff into your KDE environment [10:24] frostschutz: Thanks.

I am unaware of nautlius [10:24] abhishek: just use the kde/kubuntu file browser [10:24] abhishek: its a dumb script [10:24] ikonia: Ok, I don't understand your question. Could you please rephrase it? How can I determine whether I can mount the file system inside grub rescue shell? [10:25] not within grub rescue shell [10:25] zol, in the old notation it would actually be (hd0,0) but (hd0,msdos1) is better (if it's to be the first partition of a msdos partition table... with gpt partitions it would be (hd0,gpt1) or whatever [10:27] ikonia: Ben64 Thanks! [10:27] frostschutz: Right, thanks. Not sure how to get around grub rescue, changing the root to (hd0, msdos1) didn't make it work again. :/ === Drac0 is now known as Guest34037 [10:28] zol, so it doesn't even give you the normal grub menu in the first place? might have to reinstall grub in that case [10:28] frostschutz: Exactly. How can I do that if I can't boot from live cd via live usb? [10:29] uh, what do you boot then? :-O [10:29] why can you not boot from a livecd [10:29] as I said earlier if you can't boot live media - you have a more serious problem [10:29] you had to boot something to change whatever you changed? [10:30] I am trying to find a gmail client in ubuntu that's shows me separate folders for primary, social and promotions. And notifies only if mail is received in the primary. [10:30] unless you had a very fine magnetized needle and electron microscope [10:30] I managed to boot into live cd once, but then I rebooted and I tried changing root and prefix using (hd0,1) format, after that it stopped working booting into live cd. [10:30] grub is nothing to do with the livecd [10:30] Now it just boots into grub rescue shell and stays there. [10:30] if you can't boot a livecd you have a more serious problem [10:30] I have tried thunderbird and kmail so far. Any1 which does the job? [10:32] Ok, I switched USB slot and rebooted, now I could access the live cd again. [10:34] Shall I try to run boot-repair? [10:34] nope [10:49] hi [10:50] Any security concerns to storing my bank passwords in Firefox if I am using a master password with my Firefox (encryption)?

[11:43] zol: thats silly [11:43] you're changing device names for fun [11:43] No. I'm changing it for clarity. [11:43] just document/remember that eth0 is external and eth1 is internal [11:43] also put a tag in the iptables rule you use [11:44] So it is impossible to change them? [11:44] no [11:44] they can be changed [11:44] but it's a bad idea, more so for no good reason [11:45] Care to elaborate why it's a bad idea? [11:45] because some things will reference/expect standard naming [11:46] you'll also be at risk to potential rule updates [11:46] (from the vendor) [11:49] zol: ip link set eth0 down ; ip link set eth0 name wan; ip link wan up have fun but don't cry if stuff stops working [11:49] that won't work [11:49] as udev will change it [11:51] wondering if anyone knows if the gedit-latex-plugin in 15.10 has any bug that causes it to fail to load correctly?

[12:03] ren0v0_: I think thats what I was looking for, thanks! [12:03] ren0v0_: are you saying i am lying? [12:04] k1l_: either you are blind or looking for an argument, i asked if you was "sure" [12:04] because i've never used "adduser" in that way [12:04] don't be upset [12:04] k1l_: ren0v0_: there can be two ways to do one thing [12:04] did i say there wasn't ? [12:04] i gave the correct and easy answer. if the user forgets one of the arguments on useradd he will trash his whole system. [12:05] so my command is way more easy and way more safe.

[15:26] https://html5zombo.com/ [15:26] MoonBurst: "As a old user..." === FuriousGeorge__ is now known as FuriousGeorge [15:26] s/zombocom/#ubuntu/ [15:26] Ahh. [15:27] I'm thinking it's... tar sudo -xzf name.gz? [15:27] nope [15:27] sudo would usually be first, but only if you want, at least on Ubuntu, to use root [15:27] actually, I think sudo should be first. To set permissions [15:28] mmm, well, if you want it as root, sure [15:28] -xf is enough [15:28] these days [15:28] you'd want -z with -cf, to specify gzip, if desired [15:28] -c create, -x extract [15:29] although it it's truly just foo.gz, you might want gunzip alone [15:29] if* it's [15:29] it's a tar.gz [15:29] pbx: Have you disabled desktop icons with "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false"? IN that case the super key doesn't work anymore. [15:29] How to use root account? I tried su - root, then terminal ask me for password. But I never set password for root. This is fresh install [15:30] MoonBurst: hence 'if' :) [15:30] xenialxerus: Ubuntu's root password is scrambled/unset by default [15:30] xenialxerus: the "Ubuntu way" is to use sudo instead, but you can set a root passwd if you like === FuriousGeorge_ is now known as FuriousGeorge [15:31] reisio: So I just need to set password to use root account? [15:31] !sudo | xenialxerus [15:31] xenialxerus: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [15:31] xenialxerus: no. dont use the root account. you use sudo if you need root permissions on cli [15:31] I tried to just extract the file, but it basically told me I'm doing it wrong. [15:31] xenialxerus: in your su example that would suffice, yes [15:31] Windows habits [15:32] MoonBurst: what was the command? [15:32] cd Downloads into sudo tar -xzf file.tar.gz [15:32] Thanks for info. I wont even activate root account then [15:32] =) [15:32] MoonBurst: you'd probably want to not use sudo for such things, almost ever [15:33] MoonBurst: or -z, start with just tar -xf file.tar.foo [15:33] noted. [15:33] MoonBurst: you dont need sudo to unpack stuff [15:33] in fact you might start with tar -tvf foo, to make sure the structure isn't awful [15:33] I got ubuntu like... a day or two ago [15:33] alternatively, you can double-click from your file manager and do it graphically [15:33] although it's well worth knowing how to tar from a command line, of course [15:34] having a good GUI would be great for me. I extracted it that way, but the folder has a lock icon over it, so I think I'm not quite right about what I'm doing [15:34] That and I'm suppose to run something in the file with Mono to make it do what I want it to do [15:35] The exact file is the steam card puller, Archi Steam Farm. [15:35] I got it working just find on windows, but since I'm trying to move away from windows, I'm having some trouble [15:36] Windows for years, Linux is basically making me feel like my bike lost a wheel [15:37] Unless the problem is I did something wrong when I tried to add in Mono. Which seems just as likely [15:38] MoonBurst: dunno, the lock could just be the generic archive icon for your system [15:38] it could mean it's owned by root [15:38] icons are just hints [15:39] That's fairly likely. I'm using 14.04 until 16.04 comes out [15:39] Being new, I think it's a good idea for me to stick to LTS [15:39] MoonBurst: You may need to move to Windows 10 if you wanted DX12. And DX12 game keep coming. DX12 is low overhead GPU API. Free boost for you GPU [15:39] MoonBurst it's not the bike , it's your sense of balance that's changed, once you find the new balance then it opens up a many more avenues to explore, forgive my analogy, but that's the easiest way to describe in your context [15:40] MoonBurst: i bet that thing got a readme. but be aware that when you install 3rd party code from "a website" we cant help there that much. [15:40] you can actually make a bike that automatically rights itself and basically never falls over [15:40] physics is... far out === FuriousGeorge__ is now known as FuriousGeorge [15:40] I know what you mean. I just mean that after I learn to ride a bike, anything that isn't a bike makes it seem way harder than I think it should be [15:41] it does, sort of. But it wasn't really tested for ubuntu. And a read me only helps if I can understand. :P [15:41] So I've just been throwing commands for a while and trying to figure everything out [15:41] well, this is the place with answers, FFR :) [15:43] hi, I installed ubuntu on a usb stick but each time I shutdown, I need to boot on the install usb stick and use boot-repair the other usb stick to make it bootable again === FuriousGeorge__ is now known as FuriousGeorge [15:45] any idea on how I could fix this ? I could buy a ssd drive right === Rodrigo is now known as Guest1496 === Guest52 is now known as enic === FuriousGeorge_ is now known as FuriousGeorge [15:52] the shutdown/suspend problem seems related to plymouth === FuriousGeorge__ is now known as FuriousGeorge [15:56] There used to be a way to create an ubuntu install so that the end user would be able to create their own username and login upon first boot. Is this not available anymore? Currently running 14.04 [15:59] EOBeav: Should be this... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu_OEM_Installer_Overview [16:02] minimec: Thanks, I'll take a look at it. [16:05] hii [16:05] hello [16:06] :) === FuriousGeorge__ is now known as FuriousGeorge [16:25] I am really struggling to work out connecting a bluetooth gps, I have the bluetooth working, I can cat the rfcomm and it outputs something that looks like nmea to me, but it doesn't appear to work with in the chartplotter app. anyone got any ideas? [16:26] When will Thunderbird 38.7.1 be available for 16.04? [16:27] when it is [16:28] Guys... is it possible to fit a 4 GB file in two 2 GB drives? By mounting them to the same mount point? [16:28] sometimes, prog [16:28] optimus_: sure, but it sounds convoluted [16:29] sometimes, programs I try and run crash, even on a newly installed OS. Mostly VMs and compatiblity programs [16:29] optimus_: be more efficient use of time/money/etc. to get a 4gb storage device [16:29] reisio: Could you please explain it to me... I need to fit a large file in 2 of my flash drives [16:29] Is that something caused by my actions, or is that something from wine or whatever? === mathisen is now known as Mathisen [16:30] reisio, I can't afford a 32 GB flash drive at the moment. But I need to do that file transfer really really quick. [16:31] sure you can, they're dirt cheap :p [16:31] reisio, You don't know me. :P [16:31] optimus_, is it an image/iso file [16:31] optimus_: you can probably just use 'split' [16:31] I doubt you need to bother with a union mount [16:32] BluesKaj, No. I need to fit a 17 GB file for transfer. I only have a 16 GB flash drive. And a 8 GB one too. [16:32] reisio, Can't split. I have to download it. As is. [16:32] Plus, I'm a novice too. [16:34] optimus_: oh download [16:35] optimus_: try mhddfs [16:35] should be a nice simple way to manage it [16:35] reisio, care to explain? Please? :) [16:35] install mhddfs, from universe [16:35] hi guys, i'm in a tty terminal, and need to kill the window manager process (xubuntu) [16:36] and then the little commands down at 'mkdir /mnt/virtual' here: https://romanrm.net/mhddfs [16:36] I'm struggling a litle bit, any help?

[16:36] reisio, Thank you! :) I'll try those out [16:37] BluesKaj, Okay. [16:37] 6+ [16:37] reisio: thank you! is this the same as: /etc/init.d/YOUR_DESKTOP_MANAGER stop (from a tutorial) [16:38] itsmemario: not exactly the same... [16:38] desktop managers specifically do not frequently have init scripts/services, either; though display managers frequently have [16:38] xdm, gdm, lightdm, etc. [16:38] Hi! I am running 16.04 (Development Branch). My system doesn't connect to one particular WiFi Network. Is this a 'known issue' or should I 'report as a bug'? === littlebunnyfufu is now known as SusaNeedsABetter === SusaNeedsABetter is now known as SonikkuAmerica [16:39] reisio: woulld it be /etc/init.d/xdm stop ? because i just get command not found and the path [16:39] something must be missing [16:40] itsmemario: Ubuntu frequently uses lightdm; it also uses systemd nowadays, which ideally (to itself) does not use init.d scripts directly [16:40] itsmemario: you can always killall X [16:40] or reboot (the stupid but effective way) [16:41] I am getting an error saying stable inrelease signature cannot be verified, any help appreciated === daniel_ is now known as DanielPowerNL [16:42] reisio: hahaha. i'm actuall dealing with a driver so i'm afraid i can't. when you say "killall X" you mean "killall xfwm4", right? (as x, being the desktop environment) [16:42] no [16:42] 'X' [16:42] the X server [16:42] is the process your entire DE relies on [16:43] as well as your DM [16:43] so 'killall X', verbatim [16:43] reisio: it says no process found :O [16:43] hi [16:43] itsmemario: then it's not running [16:43] hi blank [16:43] reisio: ah, lol. I thought my whole x server vanished [16:43] is thr any forum to talk about personal problem? [16:44] reisio: thank you! [16:44] BlankSpace: like, not to do with computing? [16:44] yes [16:44] there's #ubuntu-offtopic [16:45] used to be a general "off topic" channel for the entire freenode network, but apparently it made the network admins feel... out of control or something? So they killed it [16:46] oh [16:46] anyone know when 14.04.4 will EOL'd? Can't seem to find it === Groucho_NL is now known as Guest96508 [16:47] reisio: mmm, the tutorial is telling me to open xorg.conf.new, and assumes there are things inside, but it's blank!

[16:49] reisio: basically, i am dealing with a generic chinese computer. The driver is really dodgy (sis graphic). This is the tutorial: http://zatherz.cba.pl/sis/ . I am afraid it's been a while since I have picked up linux [16:50] reisio: my bad, my dyslexia made me jump lines [16:50] stupid lysdexia [16:50] itsmemario: so, graphics weren't working out of the box? [16:51] reisio: they work on a very silly resolution 800xsomething [16:52] itsmemario: what version of Ubuntu, again? [16:53] reisio: the latest, 15.10 (xubuntu) [16:54] reisio: ahhh. I did not stop the win. manager. It should be sudo stop lightXX (I'm tryna find the one for xfce) [16:54] this looks a little better: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/sis [16:56] reisio: oh wow thank you :D === Mob is now known as MobGod [17:09] reisio: aw naw. It did not work :( [17:10] reisio: what happens if i use a 32 bits driver in a 64 b computer? will the world explode? [17:11] itsmemario your OS will be erased and windows installed [17:11] MonkeyDust: Noooooooo === SuperLag_ is now known as SuperLag [17:24] hi, i'm experiencing a problem on sound on my laptop using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; I tried every guide i found on internet but nothing helped. Started to happen two months ago. [17:24] I reboot, the sound works perfectly. After a while, randomly, the sound suddenly stops. [17:25] volumes are ok, not muted, pulse audio reports Spearers and not headphone [17:25] deavid in a terminal, type alsamixer do you see anything unusual? [17:25] even tried alsamixer, aaplay [17:25] i know alsamixer from 10 years ago, and no, nothing wrong [17:25] but if i plug int the headphones, it works. But not on speakers === jimmy51v__ is now known as jimmy51v_ [17:26] i tried killing pulse audio. nothing. Even pusleaudio -vvvv seems ok [17:26] but, if i suspend the laptop, on resume the audio works again [17:27] i tried to not to suspend never the laptop, but it happens anyway [17:27] deavid, intel audio? [17:27] yeah [17:27] hello, i NFS boot ubuntu via dhcp/pxe server. i have a problem with multi-nic systems. it seems after i've pxe booted, initrd has loaded, and it's trying to mount the NFS share it chooses a random port. [17:27] lspci: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) [17:27] i can move the cable around and find the interface it's trying to use, but it's not consistent across machines or boots. [17:27] what do i need to do to tell it to use whichever interface is active? [17:27] i was looking for bugs or worarounds, i tried some, but seems the don't aply to my soundcard [17:28] i looked at initramfs.conf but it looks like that just lets you set DEVICE=eth49 or whatever, which wouldn't help. [17:28] and.... that option is overridden by kernel options in the bootloader anyway [17:28] jimmy51v_: So you want to change the default network? [17:28] hi, I was booting in recovery mode, and saw that grub allows root access from there, is there any way to make it request a password before allowing root access there? [17:29] jimmy51v_: i dont' believe nfs knows about the routing, it just uses the kernl stack [17:29] jimmy51v_: so it's more likley that the pxe interface is changing? [17:29] aq2: i want, on startup, for the proper network interface to be used. [17:29] by proper, i mean the one that's connected [17:29] deavid, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel ..there's recurring bug after updates/upgrades the intel audio driver doesn't load at boot, some users still have this problem up to 14.04 [17:29] no, we always use the same physical port [17:29] jimmy51v_: I think i know what file you're looking for. [17:29] feneco: yeah if you set the root password, which isn't recommended, also anybody could get a root shell easily from editing the grub entry [17:30] feneco: you could add a password to grub if you want a little layer of security [17:30] jimmy51v_: Edit /etc/network/interfaces but keep in mind that the computer won't boot without an internet connection if you add something there. [17:30] aq2: i'm all ears. this is so annoying! if it didn't jump around between boots i'd just hardcode ip=eth4 or whatever. [17:30] hmm [17:30] jimmy51v_: If you mess that up boot from a live cd and fix it. or, boot straight to bash from grub. [17:30] this is in a liveCD context. is that file there? [17:30] Why not just do it with the desktop environment's settings? [17:30] Yes, it should be i think [17:31] BluesKaj: still without sound. thanks anyway. Any other ideas to try? [17:31] EriC^^: why root comes with no password by default? I found a bit weird that if you can boot in recovery you have all access to the system without authentication [17:31] feneco: Even if you set a root password you can still boot straight to bash with grub [17:31] Just edit the parameters and add init=/bin/bash to the Linux line [17:31] Hi there [17:31] feneco: cause it's disabled by default [17:32] the sound was working on boot. [17:32] deavid, forgot to mention, a reboot is usually needed after the command [17:32] feneco: the grub thing is for recovery purposes, like if you forget your password or something [17:32] so the better workaround would be adding a password to grub, right? [17:32] you'll need to remount the root partition but then you have full root access... works on any linux system with bash, grub and no grub password (if its possible) [17:32] I tried installing 16.04 on bay trail tablet, and grub failed to install [17:32] duobix: Read the /topic. [17:32] duobix #ubuntu+1 [17:32] aq2: i'm looking at that file in my livecd source... it has no entries. what should it have? [17:32] "use #ubuntu+1 for 16.04 discussion and support, not here." [17:33] jimmy51v_: I'll pastebinit mine [17:33] feneco: yeah, it's still easy to get your stuff though [17:33] jimmy51v_: Something like this will do nothing on startup http://paste.ubuntu.com/15499300/ [17:33] jimmy51v_: is this the same bug, possibly? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/378167 [17:33] Launchpad bug 378167 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) "nfsroot + multiple ethernet interfaces == boom" [Undecided,New] [17:33] using a live usb or something [17:33] BBL [17:34] I see [17:34] TY all, sorry, missed the #topic [17:34] jimmy51v_: Systems installed from mini.isos connect to ethernet automatically with that file by default, i don't have an installed mini iso here right now [17:34] thanks I will see what I can do [17:34] so i can't tell what to add there to make it actually do something [17:35] But if you want to allow booting without ethernet this is not the file you're looking for. [17:35] nacc: most likely. i've seen that bug report forever [17:35] BluesKaj: Just rebooted. Sound works again, as in every reboot. Hope it is fixed. [17:35] still broken though [17:35] thanks [17:35] jimmy51v_: I think i have an idea... add some startup commands to .profile [17:35] jimmy51v_: does the last suggestion not work? ip=all [17:35] put them in () across multiple lines and a & after the () [17:35] it does not. [17:35] so they'll run in the background [17:35] jimmy51v_: ok [17:35] they mention adding an ipconfig timeout, but i'm not sure where to do that [17:36] login commands, actually [17:36] aq2: when is profile parsed and ran? [17:36] On login [17:37] too late [17:37] its just bash [17:37] There's not really anything that runs earlier than that [17:37] except init.d but thats ran as root [17:37] this is occuring when the initrd i passed down via http is trying to mount the NFS share to grab the real OS [17:38] "The solution is obvious - you make sure the network interfaces are detected in the right order via /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, and run update-initramfs -u." [17:38] i'm not sure how to implement that in the initrd.lz [17:38] BluesKaj: happened again: sound lost with speakers. (Was listening music on youtube) [17:39] oh, so initrd.lz contains all that stuff? [17:39] how can i install wireshark? [17:39] jackcom: Type wireshark to a terminal to find out. [17:40] That simple :) [17:40] oh thanks aq2 great :) [17:40] Right [17:41] anyway ubuntu don’t have command of aptitude? [17:41] Type aptitude to a terminal to find out. [17:41] oh [17:41] great [17:41] If its installed it'll open to a semi-gui [17:42] jackcom: sudo apt-get install wireshark , ubuntu comes without aptitude by default, you can install it with apt-get [17:42] The program 'aptitude' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [17:42] sudo apt-get install aptitude [17:42] Install it then. [17:42] Same thing as with wireshark. [17:42] llutz: Better let him explore himself by typing stuff to the terminal :) [17:42] aptitude vs apt-get, which command is better? [17:42] Depends on what you want [17:43] jackcom: none [17:43] none? [17:43] what you mean? [17:43] I use apt-get when it works and aptitude when i need it, which is not that often [17:43] jackcom: what aq2 said [17:43] they behave differently [17:43] jackcom: both are frontends to apt, both do their job. noting better/worse [17:43] oh thanks aq2 ;) [17:43] Use one or the other [17:43] IIRC aptitude is trickier to remove things with :p [17:43] their job ;) great [17:43] it makes broad assumptions you might not [17:43] they do some things differently and may conflict, although that doesn't happen that easily either [17:43] What does this mean:: W: GPG error: https://private-ppa.launchpad.net trusty InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E131728675254D99 [17:44] aq2: yeah... they way it works is the PXE/DHCP server tells the PXE firmware where to grab an initrd.lz and vmlinuz.efi from a TFTP or HTTP server [17:44] that tiny kernel and initrd is pulled down and booted. it has kernel options telling it where to grab the rest (nfsroot=/blahblahbl) [17:44] ubuntu graphic is better after mac. mac > ubuntu > others [17:44] Wow [17:44] but currently it's trying to use the wrong network interface and fails [17:44] aptitude can be controlled with mouse! [17:45] aq2: how so? [17:45] apt definitely cannot [17:46] just type aptitude to a terminal and start clicking :) [17:47] that's called ncurses [17:47] ah [17:47] Yes, but i didn't realize that its able to interact with clicks by following the cursor's moves :) [17:47] I received this error after reloading the package information in Synaptic Package Manager. What does this mean:: W: GPG error: https://private-ppa.launchpad.net trusty InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E131728675254D9 [17:48] WoodyPC: You have a ppa problem, try removing the ppa and adding it again. [17:49] aq2: can I do that from system settings under updates and keys? [17:49] Probably you can, I don't use unity so i don't know [17:50] But that doesn't sound like a place for removing a repository to me [17:50] is ot "software and updates"? [17:50] is it* [17:50] yes [17:51] aq2: got it, thanks [17:51] how can i change hostname? [17:51] jackcom: sudo nano /etc/hostname [17:51] So, my lightdm crashed earlier and instead of simply rebooting I went to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and tried to restart just the lightdm, but while doing so, I accidentally wrote, lightdm restart, instead of sudo service lightdm restart [17:51] at your own risk... im not sure if its the correct way [17:51] jackcom [17:52] The issue that happened now is that, even after rebooting, my regular user keeps asking for password again and again, Login loop. [17:52] ok aq2 ;) [17:52] thanks [17:52] jackcom: back up first! [17:52] on Stackoverflow, I got answer such as, chown myuser:myuser .xAuthority fixes issue [17:52] Omnipotent: not nice, i set up my lightdm myself so i know how to reset it on this system but not sure about how ubuntu does it by default [17:53] and yes, it did, but the fun now is that, I get a "report problem" box [17:53] Otherwise everything is cool. [17:53] Omnipotent: Oh that apport thing [17:53] Omnipotent: I would probably remove the whole apport :) [17:53] I can login, I can use everything normally, I just get that box. [17:53] oh i see [17:53] apport? [17:53] Omnipotent: Wait, what exactly does that say? [17:53] Report a problem, Close or Report buttons [17:53] aq2: but i edit /etc/hostname. but hostname is not changed [17:53] The same thing you get for any issue.. [17:54] And it automatically disappears [17:54] It's not a big deal, I was just wondering How to get rid of it, to go to previous stage heh [17:54] jackcom: What does hostname say? just type to terminal [17:54] Omnipotent: Sounds like apport to me [17:54] What is apport? [17:54] Its the ubuntu bug thing... i think [17:54] Yeah, so why remove it? It's cool. [17:55] Because you don't need it :) [17:55] It's just that, because I fiddled with it.. It's reporting a bug pointlessly. [17:55] It's my mistake not its :P [17:55] I installed this system from a mini.iso using just minimal things [17:55] aq2: it works after turn off computer ;) [17:55] jackcom: Yes, i thought it might need a reboot [17:55] oh great thanks aq2 ;) [17:56] How do I find out what I have on here: Unity, Gnome, etc...etc??? [17:56] hi, can someone help me to get my software-raid1 (gpt) booting? i have 4 ssd's with a raid1 for /boot. i followed this guide https://www.thomas-krenn.com/de/wiki/Ubuntu_Software_RAID_mit_redundanten_UEFI_Boot_Eintr%C3%A4gen but when i remove the first drive, i get into the grub rescue shell [17:57] i don’t know why people let me use Debian instead of Ubunbu. but i don’t know the reason? [17:58] WoodyPC: if you have a big bar at left its unity [17:58] tete_: reinstall grub? [17:58] jackcom: Debian would be nice if they would have better lts [17:58] aq2, it failed on all 3 SSDs to boot, i dont think that this is the real problem [17:58] but i think that ubuntu is more easy then debian and ubuntu have nice graphic [17:58] aq2: what does Gnome look like? [17:58] tete_: did you mention you're using raid? [17:59] aq2, yes [17:59] WoodyPC: People don't use it that much anymore, just things made based on it [17:59] aq2: debian is nice? === MobGod is now known as Mob [17:59] lol [17:59] tete_: you don't just remove one of the raid drives :) [17:59] Your data is spread across all of them [17:59] aq2, i have a GPT which is not raid-able [17:59] the /boot partition is on raid1 [17:59] jackcom: Well, better than ubuntu non-lts [17:59] all other data are on raid5 [18:00] tete_: i don't know how to help. [18:00] oh [18:00] why what is reason? [18:00] any initramfs experts in? i need my initramfs to identify and use whichever NIC is connected and linked on boot for nfsboot purposes [18:00] i like lts because its stable and i don't need to reinstall all the time [18:00] but thats just my opinion [18:01] stable than ubunutu? aq ? [18:01] aq2: ? [18:01] Debian is stable [18:01] aq2: Thanks for the info...Been helpful. [18:01] but their support periods aren't that long. [18:01] oh [18:01] ubuntu is not stable? [18:01] Depends on what version you have [18:02] 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04 in the future etc are stable because they're lts [18:02] !lts | jackcom [18:02] jackcom: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [18:02] 14.04.3 [18:02] but the rest are testing versions [18:02] yes, yours is lts [18:02] thanks ubottu and aq2 [18:02] ;) [18:03] hello, i have recently reverted from FGLRX to Radeon on my Xubuntu 14.04, i use multi-monitor setup: Left 24" via VGA, Right 28" via HDMI. i get this strange gap between desktops when i cross my mouse to the other monitor. [18:04] $xrander -q: http://pastebin.com/T6zzWMxe [18:07] i notice the right display seems to be offset 3840 which is wrong i think "HDMI-0 connected 1920x1080+3840+0" [18:11] what is gksudo? [18:11] gksudo wireshark? [18:11] it's a way of launching gui apps with privileges [18:11] and that's the wrong way to use wireshark [18:11] then i must install it? [18:11] wrong way? [18:12] then how can i do? [18:12] sudo wireshark? [18:12] no, sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common [18:12] then yes [18:13] lol [18:13] too complicated [18:13] how about ‘sudo wireshark'? [18:13] EriC^^: ? [18:14] you just run that once to configure it [18:14] then next? [18:14] then sudo adduser wireshark [18:15] logout and log back in and just type wireshark to start it [18:15] thanks EriC^^ ;) [18:16] no problem === dummy is now known as Guest96182 === Guest96182 is now known as craptalk [18:23] Hi, i create a virtual machine of ubuntu 12.04 with VMWare Player 12.1.0 , vmware tools was installed and 3d acceleration checked.

Is the look and feel even close or Are they completely different? [18:38] WoodyPC: identical; 32 vs 64 bit is about the internal CPU architecture of the host [18:38] Hello. I just installed Ubuntu on this laptop and i want to make sure that the video drivers are installed correctly since this laptop has a intel integrated gpu. How can i check that? [18:38] WoodyPC: 64-bit is good for 2GB or more RAM [18:38] WoodyPC: 32-bit doesn't really handle big amounts of ram that well [18:39] Dethanu: If it works the drivers are installed correctly. [18:39] Works as loads the desktop, plays videos on youtube etdc [18:39] etc [18:40] Well this laptop is for my uncle since his leaving in a trip do i need to install anything else on it beside the vlc and the audio player?

[19:42] They're causing issues [19:42] Dethanu: run the following command `su` and then type the root password [19:43] it should log you into the root account [19:43] CaffeineAddict: no. dont give bad advice [19:43] then run `visudo` and make sure your username is on the list [19:43] CaffeineAddict: The root account is disabled by default.

[19:48] 14.04 seems to be stuck on CUPS 1.7 [19:48] 15.10 has 2.1, too. [19:49] Kaiak: see if there is a PPA. i dont think its in backports. [19:49] The program 'pastebinit' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [19:49] k1l: It's a RPi2 running ubuntu server [19:49] Ok [19:49] k1l: I don't think there is a ppa. Found a .deb and source binaries though [19:49] Dethanu: Run sudo apt-get update and paste the output to dpaste.com [19:49] Dethanu: Link to your paste here [19:49] Kaiak: ok, that means most PPAs dont have arm packages anyway. [19:49] k1l: https://github.com/apple/cups/releases [19:49] how easy would it be to compile cups 2.1.3 from source (tar.gz)? [19:50] What is the best way for an application to get a list of block devices? read /dev/disk/by-*/ and parse? or is there an api for userland apps to enumerate usefull info on devices etc in C? [19:50] Kaiak: Why do you need CUPS 2.1, and why is 1.7 unusable for you? [19:50] making a fresh image on 14.04 rather than raspbian [19:50] Kaiak: you could try to compile it. but be aware that other stuff might break then expecting to find the old cups version [19:50] might as well have the newest version I thought bekks [19:51] k1l: might just wait and try and upgrade this pi to 16.04 on release then next month [19:51] Dethanu: "uname -a | nc termbin.com 9999" [19:51] comes out 21st april [19:51] http://dpaste.com/3SE4T84 [19:51] hopefully a distupgrade will work on Pi and not break everything [19:51] If I use "mount" without "-t nfs" - what is it trying to do? [19:52] Dethanu: Why are you in your Downloads? [19:52] B0bsF1sh: its guessing what FS to use [19:52] Dethanu: Trying to install something manually? [19:52] Kaiak: Aint a big deal, you took a backup before. [19:52] aq2: the teamviewer.deb [19:52] I just installed this system for the first time dont judge meh :( [19:52] bekks: yeah I'll copy the SD card before I do a distroupgrade [19:52] Oh that [19:52] OS* [19:52] will just be a pain if it fucks it up [19:52] Then you're trying to install something manually and you're doing that for a good reason. Because that's the only way to install teamviewer. [19:52] since then I'll have to reimage it with a fresh 16.04 port or leave it on 14.04 [19:53] I just to install this teamview [19:53] Dethanu: you got the "multiarch" package? [19:53] dunno [19:53] the 64 bit version [19:53] Dethanu: Can you double-click the package to open it with ubuntu software center? [19:53] That'll probably do what you want [19:54] i lib depedency missing lib32sound2 [19:55] I'm guessing I'd be better off asking in a development related channel [19:55] I don't think its a bug [19:56] Have you run sudo dpkg --add-architechture i386 yet? [19:56] zezu_ there's also #ubuntu-app-devel [19:56] MonkeyDust, thanks didn't know about that [19:57] think I'll try get it to auto install the printer driver while I'm at it [19:58] Kaiak: What printer model? [19:58] brother hl-2130 [19:58] I know it works with CUPS and runs out of the box with Linux [19:59] And what's the problem? [19:59] however getting the Pi to be able to dish out a printer driver to Windows automatically will be nice [19:59] I have the driver file [19:59] think I need to setup SAMBA for it? [19:59] What for? [19:59] I'd use nitroshare for that unless i need to do it from command line [19:59] to transfer a file i guess [19:59] You are trying to setup a printer, not a samba server :) [20:00] bekks: I think SAMBA is needed for the printer driver [20:00] for windows [20:00] https://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/18850.html [20:00] Kaiak: What for? [20:00] bekks: so windows can pull the printer driver from the server [20:00] rather then you having to manually point it to it [20:00] Kaiak: Thats a windows feature - you can install the driver in various ways. [20:01] No. [20:01] Yes. [20:01] No you dont' understand. [20:01] I do. I installed > 1000 printers on Windows, in various ways. [20:01] I'm setting up the server to automatically give Windows the driver. [20:01] so you don't have to point it to it [20:01] you select the printer in networking, double click, and it pulls the driver from the server [20:01] rather then prompting you to point it to a driver or searching windows update [20:01] And thats just ONE way of VARIOUS ways to install a windows printer driver. [20:01] -_- [20:01] Thats whatI said. [20:02] I fucking know that [20:02] We might as well not swear [20:02] Kaiak keep it family friendly [20:02] !language [20:02] The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [20:02] I'm trying to set it up THIS way [20:02] after all, its just a printer driver [20:02] aq2: sorry people who act like know it alls and have to boast about number of installs they've done are a pet peeve [20:02] lets not make it into a big problem [20:02] Sounds like a good idea. [20:03] did anyone have a look at that novell link? [20:04] hey all [20:04] hey FuriousGeorge [20:04] what's up?

All ciphers tests is "N/A" http://paste.ubuntu.com/15501718/ What am I doing wrong here? [20:06] Kaiak: I did, but that wont help you, actually. [20:06] Oh well guess you were only here to boast about all those installs you've done [20:06] how lovely you are to talk to [20:07] [20:01:54] And thats just ONE way of VARIOUS ways to install a windows printer driver. [20:07] I really enjoyed talking to you today bekks. [20:07] Kaiak: Yeah, and now follow your good idea of not malking it into a big issue. You started that discussion, it wasnt me. Thank you. [20:07] *making [20:07] I'm not making anything into a big issue. [20:07] I was merely complimenting you on how nice you are to talk to. [20:07] Good. [20:08] And how much I enjoyed hearing about how you know what I want better then me and the huge number of installs you've done. [20:08] I'm proud of you. [20:08] aq2: how can I define a date for it? "passwd -e somedate"? [20:08] guys, its enough now. [20:08] k1l: sorry I just love being treated like an idiot. [20:08] anyway...I'm going for a jog. Laters. [20:09] atralheaven: I don't know [20:09] Kaiak: you are acutally making it only worse making it a drama now over and over again. [20:09] the -e seems like it'll expire it right away [20:09] Kaiak and bekks: why are you fighting? you're not getting anywhere that way! [20:10] aq2: I am not fighting anyone, I am just brain ignoring him. [20:10] aq2 man passwd [20:10] so I think I should ask again because that wasn't the answer [20:10] that is important for me [20:10] MonkeyDust: Good idea, probably more info there [20:10] I think it forces expire password, it wont set a date for it [20:12] [20:11:34] ignore set. - Oh no ;( I won't hear about the amazing number of printers s/he's installed anymore. [20:15] MonkeyDust: aq2: I want to set a date (date or in days from now, doesn't matter) for a password of an account to be locked [20:17] thats pretty sweet, i didn't know i could be cups/smb to do that [20:17] hello, could anybody help me to create a liveusb?

[20:43] if you're sure, log a bug [20:43] ok [20:43] do you think it can be added in 16.04? [20:43] or do we have to wait the next one? [20:44] seeing as I know nothing about what you're saying other than the 1 line you've said and have no context, it's impossible [20:45] ikonia, ok, so the firware is for the DVB card Skystar S2, and it's here: https://github.com/OpenELEC/dvb-firmware/blob/master/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24120-1.20.58.2.fw [20:45] it's a binary blob [20:45] yes [20:45] is it meant to be in the release ? [20:45] or has it been removed by choice [20:45] it has never been there [20:45] so why would it be in 16.04 [20:46] to support Skystar S2s out of the box? [20:46] I think yo're going to need to log a bug and ask, I doubt it would get in anyway, but it's worth knowing if this was rejected for release for some reason [20:46] okay [20:46] i'll tyr [20:46] try [20:47] Wallpaper of my desktop(gnome) is not updating in ubuntu 14.04.

[21:14] !viruses [21:14] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [21:14] Okay cool [21:15] Never say never, but by and large it's not a problem in ubuntu [21:15] My second out of three questions is how big does the live usb have to be? [21:15] Like 3gb or what? [21:15] LinuxNoob23: you can get anti virus programs [21:15] It's a little over a gig [21:15] however they're meant to protect Windows systems [21:15] Okay sweet, seems easy [21:15] so they scan for windows viruses so for instancve you don't unintentionally give a windows user a virus [21:15] very unnnessary for most users [21:15] doin't bother [21:15] Firewall is preinstalled in Ubuntu, don't need to worry about that either. [21:16] UK Gov rated Ubuntu 14.04 the most secure OS of over 10 tested. You can rest easy knowing you're secure. [21:16] LinuxNoob23: the security setup on ubuntu is meant to be "dont install stuff from untrusted sources" and "dont run everything as root". that both closes the most securiy issues [21:16] But how trustworthy is the UK Gov? [21:16] One last question was about a program I use a lot, it's really important to me and I wanted to know if it runs on ubunta [21:16] If I could run Lightroom in ubuntu, I'd completely switch from Win. === i is now known as Guest39731 [21:17] So yeah, yall got battletoads? [21:17] nolsen: it's rated for government use so I'm somewhat doubtful they'd rate an insecure OS highly as that'd make government departments use it [21:17] LinuxNoob23: nope [21:17] Haven't heard of that one [21:17] nolsen: though that isn't a discussion for this channel. Getting a little political [21:17] Hmm so no battletoads then? [21:17] You can try it on wine, but there's no guarantees [21:18] Ok I have an instresting problem. I have a Dvd Rom drive that is not working well and I have 1 usb flash with 128MB and a 1TB usb HDD. I am trying to put ubuntu on the USB HDD but unetbootin does not detect the drive. I have tried to only partition one part at 5GB so i can format as fat32 but no matter how i partition it does not show it in the program. Any ideas? [21:18] LinuxNoob23: first google hit: https://www.staldal.nu/tech/2014/12/26/running-adobe-lightroom-4-4-in-ubuntu-14-04/ ? [21:18] LinuxNoob23: nope. and i'm familiar with chan culture too. anything else we can help with today? [21:18] LinuxNoob23: you could play it online: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=battletoads+online [21:18] Oh no way, fukn sweet [21:18] LinuxNoob23: sorry, wrong nick [21:18] EOBeav: first google hit: https://www.staldal.nu/tech/2014/12/26/running-adobe-lightroom-4-4-in-ubuntu-14-04/ ? [21:18] LinuxNoob23: yeah it's pretty neat how many of these old games are online now. [21:18] tacomaster: Go out and get a usb drive, they're on sale right now [21:18] Hello how can you delete trash folder in flash driver? I have tried to use sudo rm -rf but it said that the directory is nit empty. The folder contain a very long directory of my old Java source code code. [21:20] EOBeav: I am sorry but I do not have a job at the moment and am not going to ask someone to buy something so i can get linux on my laptop. [21:20] When I was just a wee lad I was bitten by a turtle, little bitch hurt real bad. I slowly became obsessed with reptiles and thus my battletoads addiction was born [21:20] Hi can someone tell me why my machine cant find pyvenv. I have python 3.4 installed and I think it's supposed to come default with that. [21:20] nacc: I've seen that, but I need it to work. I use Lightroom professionally. [21:20] how can i get invited into one of the channel that requires invitation to join? [21:20] EOBeav: ah [21:20] tacomaster:: is it recognized by the cpu when you boot? [21:20] nickz: not meant for this channel but ask an OP or someone who's in the channel to invite you? [21:20] Kaiak: how? [21:21] nickz: which channel? [21:21] nickz: you know anyone from the channel that requires invites? [21:21] Kaiak can you tell me? [21:21] znr: The bios sees the drive but unetbootin does not [21:21] Is it mounted? [21:21] Kaiak: i dont [21:21] !language | LinuxNoob23 [21:21] LinuxNoob23: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [21:21] Use your disksutility to find out [21:21] nickz: why do you want to join then? [21:21] Yes it is mounted [21:21] nickz: the channeloperators can invite you [21:21] tacomaster:: one idea would be to treat the drive as an USB-stick... dirty but might work [21:22] You'll hav eto find an OP from taht channel nickz [21:22] Kaiak: [21:22] 04:19 -!- End of /MOTD command. [21:22] nickz: for help on +i channels ask in freenode [21:22] nickz: * #freenode [21:22] how to find it that is my main question [21:22] Well shit, sorry about my language it's just because I'm from North, and the only thing colder than our weather is our fukn language [21:22] because the only tools for windows that I know of is unetbootin. [21:22] if i download and install 14.04.4 now, how would i maintain the kernel? would dist-update switch it to .5 automatically? [21:22] LinuxNoob23: i like your language man, keep it up [21:23] goudkov: no [21:23] goudkov: ubuntu doesnt change the kernel stack automatically. you will have to change/install the metapackage yourself [21:23] how to find an OP of a channel? [21:23] nickz: what's up ? [21:23] nickz: #freenode [21:23] ^ [21:24] llutz: then? what to do there? [21:24] k1l: ok, and if i don't need newer kernel, and the hardware is working fine, would just running dist-upgrade until eol take care of all packages? like bug fixes and security updates? or do i need to switch to .5 at some point even if i don't need newer kernel and graphics stack? [21:24] nickz: ask there, this is ubuntu-support, not irc [21:24] nickz: do you need an ubuntu op ? [21:24] ikonia: no, he doesn't [21:25] tacomaster:: http://askubuntu.com/questions/307802/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-a-usb-stick [21:25] as I said... dirty [21:25] goudkov: if you run the regular updates you will get a 14.04.5 automatically. its just like windows servicepacks. [21:25] k1l: new hardware enablement stacks don't get installed automatically, do they? [21:25] Except the ubuntu updates work, lol [21:25] k1l: ok, so all packages will be updated, except for the kernel and graphics? [21:25] and new point release = new HWE, so... === nickz is now known as craptalk [21:26] dax: no [21:26] dax: just on the install .isos there is the new kernel and xorg. [21:27] goudkov: but be aware you need "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" or better the new one "sudo apt full-upgrade" to get the new kernel builds (still 3.13) [21:27] znr: how does that help me get the iso on to the usb hdd. I want is as the livecd. It works perfectly with a usb flash drive but I am trying to get the USB hdd to be the boot drive rather than the livecd [21:27] Hello how can you delete trash folder in flash driver? I have tried to use sudo rm -rf but it said that the directory is nit empty. The folder contain a very long directory of my old Java source code code. [21:27] tacomaster:: aaah... sorry my bad [21:28] tacomaster: I'd seriously try to borrow one if you can't afford one right now. Get on social media or something and see if anybody locally can help you out. [21:28] notalentgeek: Please pastebin the exact command you ran and its complete output. [21:29] !minimal | tacomaster [21:29] tacomaster: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:29] tacomaster:: do you have data on the drive you want to keep? [21:29] so if i want to install 14.04 on the server and keep it updated (don't care about the latest kernel) for as long as possible with little maintenance, can i just use 14.04.4 and keep running dist-upgrade? [21:30] goudkov: no [21:30] k1l: what if i download 14.04? not the .4? [21:31] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/w3Mf7xbD here. It always like this when the directory path is too long. [21:31] goudkov: you will need to change back to the 3.13 kernel (installing the linux-generic package and remove the linux-generic-lts-.. package) [21:31] goudkov: see this picture which shows the kernel support timeframes for 14.04 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2FSupport.A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_Support [21:32] k1l: yeah, i'm looking at the time table page. if if don't care about the kernel version, how do i get the lts that's supported until the eol of 14.04? [21:32] tacomaster: Your unetbooting problem may just be that the drive is too small for the imahe you selected. Even if that's not the only problem you can use dd or rawwrite (If this is a BIOS based System). *Warning* tools like dd and raw write will destroy all data on the destination drive! Use very carefully. [21:33] goudkov: i wrote that already. [21:33] goudkov: until there is the 14.04.5 iso, you need to downgrade the kernel like i wrote [21:34] k1l: what if i don't care about the kernel. assuming there aren't any major bugs, i don't mind it not getting updated once .4 is eol. [21:34] Jordan_U: its a 1TB drive [21:34] but i would like the other packages upgraded [21:34] goudkov: you should care about since there are even security issues on the kernel level that dont get fixed after the kernel gets EOL [21:34] notalentgeek: Assuming this is fat32, try unmounting and checking the filesystem with dosfsck. [21:35] goudkov: i dont understand your issue right now. [21:35] tacomaster: But the USB drive you want to install *from* is only 128 Meg. === ltelmo is now known as butters [21:36] Jordan_U, It is NTFS. [21:37] Jordan_U, I checked using GParted. [21:40] notalentgeek: Please pastebin the output of "dmesg". === JTechSupport is now known as JTech [21:42] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/3YZmXmGW . [21:43] Someone told me to get Flash working, I should switch from Firefox to Chromium. Now it's spontaneously started working again in Firefox despite being told that it's no longer kept up to date for FireFox and that Chromium is my best bet. I can't get it working in Chromium. Do I have to play musical chairs? [21:44] notalentgeek: "Buffer I/O error on dev sda1," Sounds like sda is suffering from a hardware problem. Is sda the drive in question? [21:44] I found a search result trying to find why I can't get Flash working in Chromium. Not sure what it means, but I'm guessing Chromium no longer supports it either? "Chrome (google) has dropped support for the NPAPI plugins in favour of the newer PPAPI." [21:45] Jordan_U, The drive I questioned is mounted in /dev/sdb. === Stacyy is now known as Stacy-- [21:46] ... Java applets. Flash. I don't know. [21:46] having problems installing Ubuntu server. i386 error and stops aprature [21:47] any Ubuntu experts here.. please help [21:48] notalentgeek: Well, the failure of sda might be a more pressing problem for you. Ensure that your backups are good, check the drice's S.M.A.R.T. status, and check the drive's SATA cables [21:48] Stacy--: please provide a pastebin of the failure; what version of ubuntu [21:48] nacc version 15.10 [21:49] well, I'm not fixing this before bed. [21:49] I just want to be unconscious. [21:50] Does anybody run their own personal server via ubuntu that they installed? [21:50] I'm sure some random update will break web browser based games in FireFox and my mom will want me to fix it again. [21:50] Stacy--: what hardware is that? [21:51] JTech, http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/install-fresh-player-plugin-in-ubuntu.html that one is a little dated try googling for Fresh Player Plugin ubuntu pepper flash etc [21:51] k1l.. on a AMD laptop [21:52] squinty, I uninstalled Flash and reinstalled it through the software manager. [21:52] Stacy--: what cpu? [21:52] Jordan_U, I was disconnected sorry. Did you say something? [21:52] what the heck is pepper? [21:52] JTech: adobe stopped making flash for linux and google made their own pepperflash to continue support [21:53] k1l AMD quad core a6 34220 [21:53] Stacy--: ok, so that is not a 32bit-only cpu [21:53] <[Saint_]> All you guys keeping flash alive are a part of the problem, lol. [21:53] JTech, apt show pepperflashplugin-nonfree [21:53] <[Saint_]> let it die. [21:54] k1l, ... huh. Thanks. Good to know. I wish they'd told me that in here the other day instead of to switch from FireFox to Chromium. [21:54] JTech: that is preinsatlled on the google chrome [21:54] [Saint_], porno chat will continue to use it, that's the real problem [21:54] are you talking about flash? [21:55] Chrome but not Chromium? Chromium doesn't seem to be playing games. Unless it's because I have the old Flash installed. [21:55] Correct, Chrome but not Chromium. Chromium is open source. Flash is not. So no pre-installed Flash for Chromium. [21:55] k1l ..I installed the 15.10 Ubuntu desktop64bit on the laptop without problems ..but problems with 64bit server [21:55] Chrome is Chromium + non-open-source crud like Flash [21:55] Stacy--: did you provide the output? [21:55] Stacy--: ok, what issue exactly? what errormessage? [21:56] I can take a picture of the error but its hard to transfer the cut paste [21:56] Please ignore, I am testing a new irc client [21:57] <[Saint_]> y'know there's channels specifically for that, right? [21:57] Stacy--: if you have c&p, you can pastebin it, and i believe there are sites for sharing the picture too [21:57] nacc I am trying to install from a USB on to the laptop [21:57] [Saint_]: No sorry I didnt know [21:58] just do what i do and say "hi" to test stuff, you'll get less prissy responses from people ignoring the "please ignore" [21:58] !alis | HalfMadDad [21:58] HalfMadDad: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu or /msg alis list http [21:58] That's messed up. but I guess it's a possible solution for my mom when I have more time to do this. [21:58] nacc what's the best easiest way to get a site up using the Ubuntu desktop on the laptop? [21:58] ubottu: thanks :) [21:58] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [21:59] Stacy--: sorry, i thought you just said that you had desktop working fine? also, what do you mean by "site up"? [21:59] whoops thanks squinty [22:00] HalfMadDad, yw === jwheare_local_ is now known as jwheare_local [22:02] Stacy--: it's hard to help debug without seeing exacty what is failing [22:03] Hallo if anybody here know how to delete file that its directory is not empty? sudo rm -rf does not working. [22:03] nacc ...is the a way to install the server after the desktop has been installed [22:03] notalentgeek: then you are doing it wrong. [22:03] notalentgeek: a) sudo isnt needed b) rm -rf works for non-empty dirs. [22:03] notalentgeek: Well, the failure of sda might be a more pressing problem for you. Ensure that your backups are good, check the drice's S.M.A.R.T. status, and check the drive's SATA cables. [22:05] bekks, Both returning the same error. [22:05] Stacy--: what are you trying to install? server and desktop share quite a bit, aiui [22:05] Jordan_U, I think I just format the drive. [22:05] notalentgeek: And we have to guess the error? === bleep1 is now known as bleep [22:05] Stacy--: and they use the same packages in the backend [22:05] notalentgeek: Formatting does not solve the basic problem. === javascript is now known as angular [22:05] nacc: I have the desktop installed already [22:05] bekks, I told u it says directory is not empty ;) ;). [22:06] Stacy--: yes, i understand [22:06] Stacy--: what are you trying to achieve? and why? [22:06] notalentgeek: and which command are you using, exactly? Pastebin both the command and the output please. [22:06] I am trying to have a website and also some software development [22:07] bekks, http://pastebin.com/w3Mf7xbD . [22:07] Stacy--: you can technically do that from the desktop install, if you want, aiui; if you really want to run the server base, then please provide the exact error you see during install [22:08] nacc what are the parts that I need for the server to host the site? [22:08] notalentgeek: You have severe input/output errors. [22:09] Stacy--: just use the desktop install [22:09] notalentgeek: Fix that broken filesystem and/or replace the broken underlying disk. [22:09] bekks, Okay what should I do next? [22:09] notalentgeek: I just told you. [22:09] ikonia yes.. the desktop is installed now [22:09] bekks, Fix broken file system means to format? [22:09] Stacy--: right, so what's the issue ? [22:09] notalentgeek: No. Fix mean fix. Format means format. [22:10] Stacy--: it really depends, i think it's documented on the wiki on how to setup a basic LAMP stack, if you want that [22:10] bekks, How so? [22:10] notalentgeek: Fixing a filesystem means to unmount it, and using fsck -f [22:10] ikonia.. I need to host a basic website [22:10] Stacy--: ok ? what's the problem ? [22:10] bekks, Okay I will try. === [Saint_] is now known as [Saint] [22:11] nacc.. all I need now is lamp right? [22:11] Stacy--: you know what you need, not us [22:12] bekks, I tried to un mount it but it says umount: /dev/sda: not mounted. I am using sudo umount /dev/sda. [22:12] Stacy--: right, and read the wiki on how to install that and set it up, I'd say -- come back if you hit problems? [22:12] ikonia.. I had first tried to install server version but there was an error on the i386 and aprature menu [22:12] you mount a partition, not a disk [22:12] Stacy--: right - you've got a desktop install now - what's the problem ? [22:12] notalentgeek: Thats because your filesystem isnt on sda but on some other device/partition. Look at "mount". [22:13] bekks, Okay I am trying to understand. So I need to umount the path and not the partition right? [22:13] ikonia.. I need parts of the server now.. I am unsure which parts [22:13] Stacy--: you want a web server, install a web server [22:13] thats it [22:13] job done [22:14] bekks,Okay now the path is un mounted from my system. [22:14] Stacy--: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/httpd.html [22:14] ikonia but the basic server install failed [22:14] Stacy--: for example [22:14] Stacy--: what ? [22:14] Stacy--: what basic server install [22:14] thanks nacc [22:14] Stacy--: installing a computer w/ an iso image is not the same as installing the software web server [22:14] Stacy--: you've got ubuntu desktop install, you want to install a webserver, such as apache or nginx [22:14] it's that simple [22:15] Stacy--: there's also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [22:15] Stacy--: as i said, just read the webpages and see what's available [22:15] ok [22:16] what is nginx [22:16] <_MyStartx_> Can someone help me with Squid 3.5 (CentOS 6.7) ? [22:16] is there a need to install the basic server package from the 15.1064bit version? [22:16] we web serer [22:16] _MyStartx_: no, we support ubuntu here [22:16] Stacy--: no [22:16] Stacy--: there is no such thing as "basic server package" [22:16] you just want to install a web server [22:16] bekks, I got this error on fsck http://pastebin.com/ayNeHeRZ . [22:16] Stacy--: you're not listening, and you aren't reading what i told you to read [22:17] notalentgeek: It tells you that your filesystem isnt an ext2/3/4 filesystem. Which filesystem is it? [22:17] bekks, It is NTFS. [22:17] notalentgeek: then you need a Windows for correctly checking it. [22:17] nacc.. Apache and lamp.. correct? [22:17] Stacy--: this is above your level of experience [22:18] bekks, Windows is the same. It cant delete the folder. [22:18] I'm sorry to say this - but you're trying to run before walk [22:18] notalentgeek: then you need a Windows for correctly checking it. [22:18] notalentgeek: Do not delete stuff, CHECK that filesystem. [22:18] ikonia.. it's been 10 years since I did this and first time using Ubuntu [22:19] Stacy--: that doesn't change what I said [22:19] Stacy--: you are failing basic concepts, you need to understand those before progressing futher [22:20] jamoola is good for website content creation right? [22:20] Stacy--: that is totally different than "a simple website" which is what you stated [22:20] Stacy--: go and get your requirements, research basic web hosting concepts then come back with specific quetions about how to achieve them [22:21] bekks, I am sorry my Ubuntu freeze. Did you type something? [22:22] Stacy--: and try on #web not ##html nor ##html5 [22:22] nor* [22:23] exagone is there a command to get jamoola from the shell command? [22:23] Stacy--: stop [22:23] Stacy--: go - work out your requirements, research the basic concepts of web hosting, then come back with specific questions [22:23] this is not a meta discusion [22:24] joomla? [22:24] yes [22:26] Stacy--: first it's off topic, second as an advice, do NOT use packages to install a CMS [22:26] hi guys [22:26] notalentgeek_: No, I'm waiting for you to use Windows for checking that NTFS filesystem. [22:26] bekks, I have no Windows machine apparently :(. I will try tomorrow. Thanks for ur time then. [22:27] anyone here willing to help me dual boot 14.04 alongside windows 10?

[22:28] czeslaw: what is the status of it in software center [22:29] i,ve never gone into the store, it alwoys lagged for me [22:29] Stacy--, I would investigate LAMP install and go from there [22:29] installing [22:29] I have my laptop to a montior Dell S2240L through a hdmi cable. I am using kubuntu. The monitor has a sound output which I connect to speakers. On windows in playback audio devices it shows the monitor, but on kubuntu it is showing only headphones and speakers(which the laptop's in built audio).

Any advice would be helpful. [22:32] What do I do to install ubuntu if I don't have a windows CD to repair windows while I'm attempting a dual install? [22:32] anyway I could run that in a terminal like irssi? [22:32] nahh not cool, pretty standard if you as me [22:32] czeslaw: there should be a support link [22:32] SurfinTux: run what ? [22:32] fe34r3: You get a Windows CD, first. [22:32] yes [22:32] SurfinTux there's this, but it's not supported here http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/06/whatsapp-client-ubuntu-14-04/ [22:32] i'm trying to move towards more of a cli [22:32] but the contact us form doesnt work! [22:32] i don't understand glusterfs... i made the bricks into glusterfs volumes... their root dir is on a partition that is mounted and not / everything appears to be working [22:33] but i make a file on one side, and i don't see it in the other [22:33] thanks i'll nake a look at it [22:33] that looks pretty [22:34] fe34r3: you dont need a windows cd [22:34] Is there anyway to make my comp boot ubuntu on a flash drive if it gets the error: 0xc000000? [22:35] anyone know if we can get google voice messages in terminal? i know we can get email and irc, but i'd love to throw google voice in there [22:37] SurfinTux: is there a client ? [22:37] What step by step process do I take if I am without a windows CD in the dual windows installation process? [22:37] i dont believe so [22:37] SurfinTux: then "no" [22:37] fe34r3: what do you want to do? [22:37] fe34r3, I use rufus to install ubuntu to a flash drive, see http://rufus.akeo.ie/ [22:37] fe34r3: you have windows installed already? [22:38] i got it portiolly working with pidgin built with the finch plugin [22:38] but it was very spotty with the hangouts finch plugin [22:39] sometimes they'd gut the message (hangouts and sms), but most of the time it wouldnt go through [22:39] I've windows installed already and I'm attempting to run ubuntu alongside windows. Ubuntu is already installed. When I attempt to boot ubuntu with wubi, I get a missing mbr error, but if I attempt to boot without wubi, I get a 0xc000000 error signifying an problem in accessing necessary files in the booting process. [22:40] fe34r3: dont use wubi :( [22:40] doesnt the installer allow you to duolboot? [22:40] !wubi [22:40] Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. [22:40] Wubi was < no longer relevant [22:40] !install [22:40] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [22:40] fe34r3: did you install it with wubi? or into real partitions on the hdd? [22:41] I installed it with wubi. Do I have to uninstall it now? [22:41] fe34r3, uninstall it [22:42] After I uninstall, how do I install it onto the real partitions on the HDD? [22:43] fe34r3: boot the usb/dvd. [22:43] okay I've sent a message to cannoical to get a refund [22:43] wut [22:44] reol poritions? there are fake ones? [22:44] Since I installed with wubi, can I get away with just deleting ubuntu from the drive or do I have to follow some protocol? [22:45] wubi is dead [22:45] you have caused a real problem [22:45] fe34r3: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Uninstallation [22:46] fe34r3: Uninstall WUBI : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide/ . The procedure is included . [22:46] so i just installed a program from a .deb package and found out there is another program with the same name. how do i work around with this name ambiguity [22:46] Somehow setting xhost + makes my system unable to load the good graphics after that [22:46] you don't [22:46] you don't just pickup debs [22:46] am i doing something wrong? [22:46] dm_comp: what did you install ? [22:46] of course it runs the program I don't want to run [22:47] ikonia: http://axel.inria.fr/ [22:47] ikonia: so axel [22:47] dm_comp: that for ubuntu 12 ? [22:47] dm_comp: what is the other software caled axel ? [22:48] !info axel [22:48] i did a force install of it [22:48] axel (source: axel): light command line download accelerator. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4-2 (wily), package size 44 kB, installed size 133 kB [22:48] Hi :) [22:48] dm_comp: so the obvious thing is to remove axel the download accelerator [22:49] I installed ubuntu on a separate drive, so can I just delete everything on that drive or will the ubuntu uninstallation process work just fine? [22:49] i want axel not the axel accelerator [22:49] ikonia: oh i see [22:49] fe34r3: you said wubi. [22:49] ikonia: no other way around it? [22:49] fe34r3: wubi means to install inside the windows. [22:49] dm_comp: if you want a simple logical solution, that is it [22:49] fe34r3, our worries are that the wubi installer has modified the mbr and that is why we recommend uninstalling using wubi [22:50] fe34r3: can you please load a ubuntu-usb/dvd live system and come back here=? [22:50] i installed wubi on an external hard drive [22:50] fe34r3, as per k1l's requinard [22:50] request [22:50] Is there a way to create from my ubuntu system a "snapshot" like in virtualbox? And if yes, is there a way to select this "snapshot" in grub while booting? [22:50] s/requinard/request [22:50] hecatae: no [22:50] oops [22:51] Headzup: no [22:51] fe34r3: did you boot ubuntu usb/dvd or did you run a program in windows? [22:51] :/ a feature like this would be nice [22:51] i booted the usb [22:51] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn8gealMDsg [22:51] um [22:51] fe34r3: that is not wubi [22:51] wrong channel [22:51] sorry [22:52] what is it then? [22:52] fe34r3: a regular install, i guess. its very hard to tell, since you only give spare informations [22:52] random-nick, your nick suits you [22:53] i used wubi to install ubuntu on an external HDD, but when i went to uninstall ubuntu it still showed up in the list of programs. [22:53] Headzup: There is a possibility if your system is installed using LVM disk managment. Read here... http://www.tutonics.com/2012/12/lvm-guide-part-2-snapshots.html [22:53] What information do I need to give? [22:53] k1l, no hang on [22:53] fe34r3: wubi is a totally different thing. [22:53] Headzup: and here... http://askubuntu.com/questions/424225/setting-up-lvm-snapshot-as-a-backup-restore-point-in-ubuntu [22:53] fe34r3, did you run wubi from the usb? [22:54] ya i ran wubi from the usb [22:54] hecatae: you cannot run [22:54] @minimec, thx [22:54] fe34r3: if you boot the usb that is not running wubi. [22:54] fe34r3, from inside windows? [22:54] wubi is a windows program [22:54] yes inside windows [22:54] fe34r3: if you run wubi, that is actually a program that will run in windows, it will install ubuntu inside windows. [22:55] bekks, I did for sport relief last week, but I know what you mean [22:55] fe34r3: then you cannot boot a usb with wubi. [22:55] all you need to do is use unetbooten to throw the iso onto a flashdrive and set your bios to boot from usb [22:55] SurfinTux: you dont even need unetbootin, you just need dd. :) [22:55] then follow the onscreen prompts [22:55] fe34r3: so you are again making confusion. so please boot a ubuntu usb and come back here so we can inspect what you acutally did there with terminal commands [22:55] ok [22:56] bekks: i dont think these guys hove been exposed to thot stuff yet [22:56] lol [22:56] fe34r3: because it seems you cant technically tell us what your setup is there. so boot the ubuntu usb and come here [22:56] unetbootin is very old though, I prefer lili usb creator or rufus [22:57] unetbooten is tried and true [22:57] it's also simple and lightweight [22:58] SurfinTux, is 865kb not lightweight? [22:58] it's that nmall? [22:58] even the windows version? [22:59] How I can switch to my root user in 16.04? [22:59] su [22:59] you don't [22:59] no it's not su [22:59] use su in terminol [22:59] SurfinTux: No. [22:59] su dont work [22:59] wait what? [22:59] no you don't [22:59] SurfinTux: can you please stop saying nonsense [22:59] SurfinTux: su will not work, by default. [22:59] why not? [22:59] sudo su [22:59] ? [22:59] Exagone313: no [22:59] sudo removed? [22:59] no [22:59] :D [22:59] SurfinTux: because the root account is locked. [22:59] oh no [22:59] ikonia: thx! [22:59] where can I find a list of changes in xenial? [22:59] Headzup: sudo -i [23:00] sudo apt-get install terminol [23:00] SurfinTux: use sudo -i [23:00] * hecatae looks shocked [23:00] if there are major changes [23:00] dang things have changed alot [23:00] sudo bash? [23:00] Exagone313: check the topic in #ubuntu+1 [23:00] I need the root user for the nvidia driver installation :( [23:00] slifeet: no [23:00] SurfinTux: Yeah, in the last decade ;) [23:00] Exagone313: stop giving the bad advice in here to use sudo su [23:00] Headzup: no you don't you just need sudo [23:00] lol since 12 [23:00] hecatae: sudo apt install nvidia-updates ? [23:00] Headzup: and the nvidia packages are in the repo [23:00] hecatae: sudo works fine. [23:00] SurfinTux: su didn't work in 12 [23:01] ops, my fault! [23:01] but then he's using nouveau [23:01] forgotten the sudo :P [23:01] k1l: on ubuntu you don't enter the root password during installation unlike debian [23:01] I tried only ./NVDIA.... :P [23:01] Headzup: ubuntu ships already nvidia drivers [23:01] Headzup: there should be packages in the ubuntu repos [23:01] but ok in fact you just use sudo, not su, no? [23:01] it didnt? i munt have chatged something then [23:01] don't use the module from nviai.com [23:01] Headzup: thats a safe way to wreck your system. [23:01] Exagone313: again: stop giving that bad advice. [23:01] ncvidia.com [23:01] nvidia.com sorry [23:01] Is there anyone here that uses the USB modem E173 made by Huawei? [23:01] !sudo > Exagone313 [23:01] Exagone313, please see my private message [23:01] For mobile broadband. [23:02] Headzup: use the nvidia drivers from the ubuntu repos. [23:02] ... I know what is sudo wtf [23:02] Exagone313: yet you don't really appear to know how to use it safely [23:02] that link helps explain it a little better [23:02] worth reading [23:02] ikonia: thanks for the +1 channel [23:02] ah I see :D 1 click done [23:04] Noone? [23:04] no-one what ? [23:05] ikonia: Is there anyone here that uses the E173 USB modem from Huawei here for mobile broadband connection? [23:05] Umeaboy, I used to, mode switching was fun, that and a zte mf626 [23:05] what's the real question / [23:05] Umeaboy: better tell about the issues with it instead of asking who uses the exact same hardware [23:05] hecatae: I have a serious Network Manager bug that I reported yesterday and still waiting for reply on if there's a temporary fix. [23:06] The same issue seems fixed in Xenial. === Drac0 is now known as Guest60842 [23:06] So I could really use a new update of NetworkManager, ModemManager and Policykit. [23:06] Umeaboy simply repeat your question [23:06] what do you want us to do about it ? [23:06] hello there [23:07] so far you've not even told us the problem [23:07] i'm in a bad dato spot. did anyone answer my question? [23:07] ikonia: Can I just rebuild the source package of NetworkManager, ModemManager and Policykit and install thoose debs as updates in Wily tomorrow? [23:07] im also here for a problem, i changed the graphics driver to a newer one and now ubuntu hangs at the boot screen with the 5 red dots. [23:07] SurfinTux what was your question? [23:07] Umeaboy: why would you do that ? [23:08] tom99hd: What graphics card? [23:08] tom99hd: How did you change whch drivers to what on which Ubuntu? [23:08] ikonia: The problem is fixed in Xenial. [23:08] is there anythitg similiar to su or being able to be logged as root possible in ubuntu? [23:08] Umeaboy: I would strongly advise against that, [23:08] !sudo | SurfinTux [23:08] SurfinTux: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [23:08] SurfinTux: "sudo -i" [23:09] Well, it's a friends computer and he wishes to have a workaround by tomorrow evening. [23:09] i think it was software and update center on the control panel on the last tab i think it was named additional drivers that's how i changed the driver [23:09] Umeaboy, if the issue is fixed in Xenial, have you tested it and if so, what is stopping you early upgrading? [23:09] my gpu is a 350m (laptop) [23:09] Umeaboy: I very very strongly advise against even trying that [23:09] besides sudo, even though i love it's logging capabilities are amazing it app-admin/sudo [23:09] ikonia: OK. [23:09] i looked up at the nvidia site and the latest supported driver for linux 64 bit was the latest one shown on that panel [23:10] SurfinTux: what are you even talking about ?? [23:10] so i changed it to that and now it hangs there [23:10] tom99hd: What card? [23:10] gt350m [23:10] it just seems counter productive to not be able to be logged in as root? [23:10] nvidia [23:10] SurfinTux: you can " sudo -i " [23:10] SurfinTux: read the link the bot just linked you. [23:10] i always have a terminal running as root [23:10] tom99hd: There's a temporary fix for GTX cards. [23:10] when i change the driver does it maybe try to download the new ones and install during the boot screen? [23:10] SurfinTux: you can " sudo -i " [23:10] I fixed mine some months ago. [23:10] what driver are you using? [23:10] so sudo -i behoves like su? [23:11] and what's the temp fix since i can't boot [23:11] SurfinTux: it will give you a root shel [23:11] shell [23:11] tom99hd: Standard. The only thing I did was to add modprobe.blacklist=nouveau [23:11] seashell [23:11] in grub menu. [23:11] And then boot with it. [23:11] F10. [23:11] I have the GTX 850M. [23:12] so i spam f10 during boot? [23:12] Nope. [23:12] cool cool [23:12] after it gets stuck? [23:12] no [23:12] After you edited the kernel boot line and added modprobe.blacklist=nouveau you load this change with F10. [23:13] has upgrading without breaking stuff gotten easier with Ubuntu releases [23:13] how do i edit the kernel boot line? [23:13] i'll google it [23:13] give me a sec [23:13] it's in grub [23:13] SurfinTux: since ages. [23:13] tom99d it's in the grub menu [23:13] when you boot [23:14] !nomodeset | tom99hd [23:14] tom99hd: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:14] ESC to see GRUB. Advanced flags and press e on the kernel you want to boot. [23:14] E as in edit. [23:14] tom99hd, I usually press escape to get to the grub menu [23:14] wait for bios to pass, then hammer escape [23:14] then choose the kernel line and press e to edit [23:14] when? everytime I used it, stuff always bprke. especially with graphicol drivers [23:14] hecatae: That might destroy/break his keyboard. :) [23:15] Umeaboy, needs a mechanical keyboard then [23:15] okay im at grub now but pressing E doesn't do anything [23:15] too bad its a laptop keyboard [23:15] :/ [23:15] Advanced flags. [23:15] THEN e [23:15] I use my monitor with 144hz refreshrate and when I move my windows its looks not fluet. is that normal? [23:16] !xenial | Headzup [23:16] Headzup: Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) will be the 24th release of Ubuntu. It is due to be released on April 21st. Discussion in #ubuntu+1 [23:16] mech boards are best boards [23:17] tom99hd: Found it? [23:17] im at the grub but E doens't work anywhere [23:17] there's advanced options [23:17] Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? [23:17] wait [23:17] Advanced flags for Ubuntu. You see that option in GRUB? [23:17] 4 options [23:17] Ubuntu [23:17] Advanced options. [23:17] Advanced options for Ubuntu [23:18] and 2 memtests [23:18] Yeah. [23:18] That one. [23:18] Advanced options for Ubuntu. [23:18] now its two sets of ubuntu kernels with their recoverys [23:18] i can't press E on them [23:18] tom99hd: Yes. [23:18] Ok. [23:19] Weird. [23:19] Which Ubuntu version are you using? [23:19] enter worked tho [23:19] and arrows [23:19] 14 lts [23:19] fe34r3, are you running in ubuntu now? [23:19] We have 15 LTS as well I think. [23:19] Umeaboy: No. [23:19] OK. [23:20] I keep trying to boot and it keeps sending me to windows. [23:20] So, no. [23:20] i think 16lts comes soon [23:20] now i see 4.2.0-34-generic and its recovery mode [23:20] fe34r3, disable secure boot in the uefi [23:20] also the same but with 27 [23:20] fe34r3: I'd use a Live cd and reinstall GRUB. [23:20] I went into the BIOS and i disabled secure boot and prioritized the external hard drive I'm booting from. [23:21] and grub version is 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7 [23:21] what about that recovery mode? [23:21] I'm trying to get my Sony Wired Stereo Headset to work with Ubuntu (15.10 64-bit). The device does get recognized, but I get no audio output. [23:21] tom99hd: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhm. OK. [23:21] wouldn't recovery mode help? [23:21] tom99hd: Try it. [23:22] okay now what? [23:22] many options there [23:22] resume clean dpkg failsafex [23:22] fsck grub network root system-summary === kerozene is now known as tay [23:22] next to failsafe x is run in failsafe graphic mode [23:22] may i try this? [23:23] tom99hd: Yes. Unless anyone else says otherwise here. [23:23] continuing will remount ..... [23:23] Gotta go. [23:23] welp [23:24] anyone willing to help? [23:24] Is the grub you use efi? [23:24] zunio: you using alsa or pulseaudio? [23:25] not sure but when i was installing ubuntu i formated the ubuntu partition in ext4 [23:25] ext4 shouldnt be a problem [23:26] okay now it tells me its running in low graphics mode [23:26] I uninstalled ubuntu on windows and I tried rebooting from the external drive. Every time I try, I get sent back to windows. [23:26] input device settings could not be detected correctly [23:26] i will need to configure these myself [23:27] i guess i can go on by pressing enter [23:27] there's only an ok button [23:27] i went and pressed enter [23:27] no mouse on screen, now i have 4 options [23:28] okay [23:28] well you uninstalled ubuntu [23:28] now nothing works [23:28] not even enter or tab [23:28] ... [23:28] so... like you'd be sent to windows [23:28] tom, what are you trying to do? [23:28] changed gpu drivers [23:29] nvidia? [23:29] now it gets stuck at boot screen [23:29] yheap [23:29] nvidio officiol [23:29] oo i did that yeors ago! [23:29] go on [23:29] enlighten me [23:29] how do i get back on ubuntu [23:30] tom99hd: did you try nomodeset? [23:30] tom99hd: what drivers did you install exactly? [23:30] i went to recovery mode, enabled networking, went to prompt, logged in os root or what ever it in, ond reran the nvidida installer. but first: what errors is it throwing at you? [23:31] i didn't actually install any i just chose the latest official ones from software center's additional drivers @k1l [23:31] oh [23:31] i didn't try that yet SurfinTux [23:31] should i? [23:31] via software center or apt-get? [23:31] if I have both Open JDK and Oracle JDK installed how would I make sure a java application would use the Oracle JDK? [23:32] on software center's last tab named additional drivers [23:32] i chose the latest one [23:32] i checked on nvidias website on whether or not it was supported on linux 64 [23:32] turns out it was the latest supported one [23:32] so i picked it [23:32] and now its not working :/ [23:32] you'd need to grab them from nvidia's website and throw it on a usb from another device, mount the usb on the ubuntu computer and run the installer or transfer the file to your desktop [23:33] norry that my typing is slow; i'm on mobile [23:33] tom99hd: what card is it? [23:33] gt350m [23:33] SurfinTux: please stop [23:33] laptop gpu [23:33] and my typos look odd as I use dvorak and not qwerty [23:33] SurfinTux: you are actually telling bad advice [23:34] k1l i was explaining a solution that fixes the problem. he wont be able to update them via software or terminal, but he'd have to go into recovery [23:35] so, what do i do? [23:35] tom99hd: did you use nomodeset now? did it help? [23:35] does ubuntu have official nvidia drivers in a ppa? or is it just nouveau [23:35] hello [23:35] i couldn't press E on any option so i tried going in advanced then i booted in recovery [23:35] SurfinTux: it has official nvidia in the regular repos [23:35] i think i got to something [23:36] im using mate with an rpi and i have some questions... how can i measure the cpu temp? [23:36] from recovery [23:36] i got to failsafeX [23:36] is there a command or must i download something? [23:36] tom99hd: why cant you edit in grub?
