[01:10] wafflejock: that would be awesome, really [01:10] feneco: think most people (at least I can speak for myself) have just been using apt-get at the terminal like k1l said since it tends to be faster and more obvious if something goes wrong what needs to be done [01:10] ubuntu software center never looked that well [01:10] feneco: yeah hopefully is better I actually run gnome but not sure that I've used that version of the software manager yet [01:10] guest83810: if you want to ask in the irc (in here) you dont need a mailinglist. just ask your technical support question [01:11] i mean what is it for since anyone can ask?

Is there any software on Ubuntu that can replace Itunes for syncing files on the Ipod? [01:29] Amarok on KDE? ... havent used it in 5 years lol [01:30] I prefer something non-KDE since I'm using unity [01:30] maybe rhythmbox or banshee? I don't know if they can do it [01:33] lectus: this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod [01:33] When one upgrades from 15.10 to 16.04 are all your necessary kernel modules preserved automatically? [01:34] So hardware support is preserved.... [01:34] lectus: personally have been using clementine https://www.clementine-player.org/ says it has ipod support but I just use it for streaming podcasts mostly [01:34] Rhorse: ubuntu uses dkms to build kernel modules. so yes, they will work on the new release if that supports the kernel in use [01:35] k1l: thanks kindly! [01:37] Rhorse: with dkms it can cause build failures against the new kernel, if the source code of the out-of-tree module uses some facility the new kernel has changed [01:38] I see, TJ - aren't most kernel upgrades backward compatible, though? [01:40] TJ in such a case, would it improve one's chances of compatibility if one just did a fresh install instead of upgrade? [01:40] Rhorse: the issue is that out-of-tree modules often use fragile constructs, but also that the mainline kernel's internal interfaces aren't fixed so a newer kernel could change things and of course the out-of-tree module doesn't keep in step - if the DKMS module comes from the Ubuntu archive you *should* be OK since the new release will be updated, but third-party DKMS modules can break [01:41] I see.... [01:42] we had an issue like that with nvidia for the 15.10 release, where a function Nvidia relied upon had its signature changed [01:43] The reason I ask, TJ- is that I have bleeding edge hardware. Everything is working now, but I worry about the coming upgrade.... [01:43] I need to report a bug in 16.04 and I don't know the package that it relates to. When I wake 16.04 from suspend, I experience a double log in screen. [01:43] Rhorse: you can always install the Wily kernel .deb files and test them [01:45] TJ-: I'm on Wily right now. What do you mean? [01:45] hahah I meant Xenial, 16.04 [01:45] Had someone yesterday installed the 16.04 kernel packages in 15.10 to fix a missing driver issue [01:46] TJ-: which deb files do you mean, the linux sources and firmware packages? [01:47] What if they don't work, could I easily downgrade to the old versions? [01:48] Is anyone aware of a way in inhibit screensaver/sleep/suspend/etc when the screen is locked ... Modifying the power settings, brightness & lock settings, and even running caffeine all only seem to inhibit these within the user's desktop. Once the screen is locked (CTRL+ALT-L or Super+L), within about 15 the Unity Greeter is already dimming and going to sleep. [01:49] Rhorse: it's just added into the GRUB menu so you can always boot from an older kernel, and then remove the 16.04 kernel [01:50] Rhorse: something like this to fetch/install: "mkdir /tmp/kernel; pushd /tmp/kernel; wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-headers-4.4.0-17_4.4.0-17.33_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-{image,image-extra,headers}-4.4.0-17-generic_4.4.0-17.33_amd64.deb; dpk -Ri . ; popd " [01:54] TJ-: so this would only be possible through the archives, not the software desktop application? [01:56] Rhorse: right, because you need the 16.04 kernels and you don't want to risk pulling in anything else [01:57] TJ-: OK, one thing what is that command you wrote dpk - Ri? === badon_ is now known as badon [01:58] Rhorse: it installs all .deb files in the named directory. By creating a dir and fetching the files into it, it avoids having to pass the filenames to 'dpkg -i' [01:59] TJ-: So the command is dpkg -Ri? Is that correct? [02:00] Rhorse: no, it is "dpkg -Ri ." there is a 'dot' there, meaning 'this directory' [02:00] Rhorse: the commands as I gave them are 100% accurate [02:01] when running a command line application (scrapy) with a newly pulled version of code, it is still running an old version..why??? [02:01] TJ-: got it. Thank you! [02:02] pianomonk: what do you mean by 'newly pulled' [02:02] just pulled from a repo [02:02] pianomonk: right, and has that over-written the previous version? [02:02] yeah [02:03] pianomonk: so any new executions of the same file will be the new version [02:03] files have been deleted as well, [02:03] for some reason it's running old code / potentially old files too [02:03] this is so ridiculous [02:04] this has nothing to do with replacing files [02:04] this has to do with cache or something [02:04] pianomonk: Are you trying to over-ride an Ubuntu package? [02:04] no [02:04] i know why up time is down time sometimes, cause, some time its up/baz, the other time baz/up, lolo [02:04] its python code [02:04] tried to get qnswers there [02:04] pianomonk: well, if you've replaced an older file with newer, then the old version has gone [02:04] wow thanks [02:04] i know why up time is down time sometimes, cause, some time its up/baz, the other time baz/up, lolo [02:06] what's the betting pianomonk's real issue was trying to use a locally built/installed version in place of the packaged version, and bash still has the Ubuntu version in its hash list [02:07] hey all anyone give me a hand with cpu fan issues [02:07] ubuntu 15.10 .always login loop with the nvidia drivers on [02:07] *meaning sensors shows no cpu fan [02:08] and fan not blowing [02:08] i have to use only intel driver [02:08] cpu getting hot [02:08] I've looked high and low [02:08] can't find a fix [02:09] in software / additional driver it lists and Unknown: Unknown [02:10] this device is not working [02:10] which one do you prefer?

But now I would expect it to be /media/username/sdcard [02:16] c|oneman: udisks handles it and it goes to /media/$USER/$LABEL-or-$UUID [02:17] c|oneman: older releases - 12.04 I think - manually mounted under /media/ using udev rules I think [02:19] thanks [02:20] I want to add my Windows 10 install to the grub bootloader.

[02:30] uruk: "ip neigh show" [02:30] i think so [02:31] towlie: if you've got Windows installed in UEFI boot mode, and GRUB in legacy BIOS mode, you won't be able to use GRUB to boot Windows.

Discussion in #ubuntu+1 [03:15] Hello guys , I have a question... So I have at media server running ubuntu 14.04 ... I want to say that this is literally DAY 1 of me ever touching ubuntu... To start with... We have a Mikrotik router, users are all on wifi via accessports.. The APs are ports 2,3,4,5 with port 1 being the WAN(ISP)... port 6 etc are on a different switch on the routerboard. so people on wifi have a local ip of 192.168xxx the media server has [03:15] I am trying to setup a plex server [03:15] while it is on a different local ip will that cause a problem? [03:15] is there something I will need to do to make that work? [03:19] can setting up unknown repositories be risky? [03:19] Which file system do I want when creating a Veracrypt volume?

Whats the best way to shrink the partition, and install a completely separate Ubuntu partition? Can I undo this later when I decide which one I want to keep as main OS? [03:39] is there any way to connect skype account to pidgin? [03:42] somsip, I am not really sure how to even get it on the same one.. because of how the ports are configured [03:45] can anyone please tell me how i can make my video card output a signal to display port? i updated drivers and it (again!!!) refuses to talk to my primary monitor. won't recognize it. doesn't see it at all [03:46] Gallomimia, do you have multiple monitors? or is this a laptop?

I could track down the problem to one detail, before reinstall kernel was 3.19.*, after clean install(and "apt-get dist-upgrade") the kernel is a 4.*. Configuration is default in both cases. Can someone point me in the right direction please? I heard of a kernel [04:30] bisection, should I do that? [04:35] stevennd: a bisect lets you compile your own kernel and then you do a binary search through all the changesets by compiling/testing in a loop all the time [04:36] stevennd: it is unlikely what you want [04:36] hello cpaelzer, actually yes, i suspect some regression [04:37] stevennd: it is a lot of work to do, and you would need to build the Ubuntu kernel [04:37] stevennd: are you familiar with compiling custom kernels? [04:38] yes i do [04:38] ah fine [04:38] but i was wondering if there would be some known problem regarding the ath9k (atheros wireless) driver and the 4.* series kernel in ubuntu [04:39] just making a clean install and alternating between the newest 3.* and the earliest 4.* kernels shows the wifi bitrate locks at 11Mbps in b/g/n mode. [04:40] stevennd: and all on 14.04 - that means you switch between hwe-vivid and hwe-wily (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack) [04:41] hum, you are right, both kernels are inapropriate for that release :/ [04:41] stevennd: no both are :-) [04:41] is it supposed to break the wifi though? [04:41] stevennd: the release gets out with an initial version, but then with every subsequent Ubuntu release the LTS versions get an updated HWE kernel [04:41] stevennd: so you should be totally in a good environemnt [04:42] it shouldn't be "supposed to" :-), but then I'm not at all an expert in WiFi things - I'll try to look through bugs .... [04:42] i was a bit lost by the choices offered by apt, this indeed seemed like an updated kernel (4.4) thanks for the clarifiaction, now i know they all are useable. [04:43] supposing i have some spare time and ressources available, would a bisecting the kernel be the good approach considering the symptoms? [04:45] stevennd: if it is really "triggered" just by switching between those two kernels in the boot menu and nothing else AND you have some spare time it is an option [04:45] stevennd: after seacrhing for open/known issues - just to be sure [04:46] only thing google could dig out was for unstable connexions and fluctuating speeds and boiled down to loading the kernel module with an option to disable hardware encryption offloading [04:46] it didn't fix the thing, and yes just switching kernels on a default install triggers the problem [04:47] stevennd: never did that after the howto, but the rough outline looks like a good guid https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection [04:47] stevennd: since you said you are known to custom kernels I tihnk you can fill in the gaps [04:47] i seems my next few nights will be busy sorting out commits then haha :) [04:49] stevennd: make sure you look through https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux?field.searchtext=ath9k&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_ [04:49] no_package= [04:49] stevennd: that was bad, let me make a shortlink [04:50] stevennd: http://bit.ly/1UOKENj [04:51] stevennd: that is the list of kenrel bugs with ath9k in it [04:51] stevennd: otherwise good luck with the bisecting and thanks that you spent effort to make Ubuntu better [04:51] good idea thanks, i'll read those prior to attempting fancy stuff.

Version 0.2+14.04.20140416.2-0ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 1017 kB, installed size 4587 kB [05:29] hmm [05:29] vancha: can you check your /etc/apt/sourcues.list or in software&updates [05:29] *sources [05:30] vancha: check if there are external ppa's added there [05:30] do you want me to copy it hhere lotuspsychje? i'll check it now [05:30] vancha: if you pastebin sure, we take a look [05:32] jonoomph-openshot-edge-trusty.list jonoomph-openshot-edge-trusty.list.save openshot_developers-ppa-trusty.list openshot_developers-ppa-trusty.list.save private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_plexmediaserver_ubuntu.list private-ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa-uploaders_plexmediaserver_ubuntu.list.save ros-latest.list ubuntu-sdk-team-ppa-trusty.list thats all that's in it [05:32] vancha: ppapurge all external ppa's off your system, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [05:32] !ppapurge | vancha [05:32] vancha: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [05:33] oh, i'll go and install that then [05:33] not sure if i can delete the ubuntu-sdk though :O [05:35] vancha, you are deleting package sources only, not the package themselves [05:35] thx cfhowlett ;) [05:37] Any idea why I can't play webms in firefox on wily? [05:38] N3X15: codecs installed? perhaps ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [05:38] no driver plugin, N3X15 [05:39] lotuspsychje, thank you, will report back when apt is done stumbling around. [05:41] hmm how do i find the name of the ppa related with the files in sources? [05:41] installed ppa-purge, but i need to figure out what the ppa's are called [05:41] vancha: well officially we cant support ppa's mate [05:41] vancha: maybe apt-cache show package can show wich? [05:42] vancha: or apt-cache policy package [05:43] the problem is i dont know what to type for package :P i don't know what the package is called when i want to remove it [05:43] sources.d shows openshot, but that doesn't seem to be on my system anymore [05:44] vancha: this is why i would recommend to purge all external, non official ppa's from system [05:44] !sources | vancha these are official [05:44] vancha these are official: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. [05:45] i want to lotuspsychje, but i don't know the names of the unofficial ppa's :( [05:45] lotuspsychje, nope, installed without errors, still getting "failed to decode". [05:45] Doesn't seem to matter whether VP8 or VP9 [05:51] And the same webms open on Windows build of the same version of Firefox without issue. [05:54] N3X15, in your ffox browser about:config then search for webm [05:54] All enabled [05:55] specifically? [05:57] cfhowlett, http://i.imgur.com/VuYx214.png [05:58] yep [05:58] for comparison http://imgur.com/yoaomKO [05:59] And if you check, those are all set to true on mine, as well. [05:59] I just have an additional bunch of settings for flashgot, which is an addon. [06:00] I see you have some custom settings --- I suspect your stream has been redirected to a different plugin. test: disable those user sets or try a different webm site [06:01] flashgot doesn't redirect those streams, though. I even disabled it entirely. === N3X15_ is now known as N3X15 [06:03] As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by CenturyLink: flashgot doesn't redirect those streams, though. I even disabled it entirely. [06:11] Is there a way to hide the administrator log in and have an automatic log-in for a standard account? [06:14] Also can I update eduB 12.04 LTS via the Terminal? [06:15] rustuptwist, yes [06:15] first sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade [06:15] then sudo do-release-upgrade === rustuptwist_____ is now known as rustuptwist [06:16] BUT your system upgrader must be set to LTS releases only [06:16] cfhowlett: I'm looking for just essentials if possible [06:16] no idea what you mean [06:17] I'm in a school environment with slow connection so if there is a way to just update core system as opposed to everything. [06:18] rustuptwist, then torrent the .iso and do an off-line upgrade. it will take a bit of time so be patient. in fact, you might wait a few weeks and get 16.04 instead of 14.04 [06:19] cfhowlett: is it safe to jump over LTS versions? just curious don't know one way or another [06:19] "safe"? [06:20] you cannot sudo do -release-upgrade more than a single LTS at a time [06:20] I just installed 12.04 if there is no security need to update to 14 then I don't have to [06:21] rustuptwist, why you not install 14.04??? [06:21] I'm just an Ubuntu enthusiast taking advantage of the fact that windows is fried on the computers so doing a side by side install with Ubuntu. [06:22] cfhowlett: yeah just meant can you do an upgrade install from 12 to 16 or do you upgrade to 14 then upgrade to 16 [06:22] wafflejock, nope. incremental upgrade still applies. 12.04 > 14.04 > 16.04 but that may have been invisibly changed. lots of reports that you could directly upgrade from 12.X to 15.10 [06:23] Not able to confirm that last [06:23] hello [06:23] guys I've a query about syslog file permissions [06:23] I'm not in the US, net speed is slow, computers were 100% inoperable, had a edubuntu 12 disc w/my stuff from the states, etc., [06:23] ah k just curious since that will probably be coming up pretty soon here :) off to bed for now though [06:23] rustuptwist, have one more year of support with 12.04. 14.04 is the latest LTS so you should have gone with that [06:23] makes sense [06:24] syslog can create files in /var/log (files named syslog.gz, syslog.gz1 etc), but only root has got write access on /var folder. How syslog does that..? [06:25] I figured I could use terminal to update to 14. Just need a rapid update if possible cause once I leave the lab, who knows what can and will happen, lol [06:25] rustuptwist, and that is why you should install the latest available LTS [06:27] cfhowlett: ok. How do i know if sys updrader is set to LTS releases? [06:28] FYI before i instsalled thrre was no linux/ubuntu running just windows [06:28] settings > system > software updater > settings > updates > Notify me of a new ubuntu version: For LTS versions [06:30] Dont see thst in sys setting (edubuntu 12) i do see an update manager folder on desktop [06:31] N3X15: tested other browsers then FF? [06:32] lotuspsychje, not yet. [06:33] N3X15: perhaps try with chromium-browser see what it does? [06:34] !upgrade | rustuptwist [06:34] rustuptwist: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [06:34] cfhowlett: i got sudo apt: command not found [06:34] doh! right. [06:34] rustuptwist, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:35] sorry for misinformation. apt is slowly rolling out to replace apt-get [06:36] but all things considered, you're still better off doing the torrent > install method rather than a hot upgrade [06:38] cfhowlett: ok I have 14 on Usb I just had edubuntu cd and since it is a school after all I thought I'd put eduB on at least 1 unit to try it [06:38] lotuspsychje, works on Chromium [06:38] rustuptwist, install 14.04 then install the edubuntu-desktop. logout, select edubuntu session, login = edubuntu! [06:38] N3X15: perhaps flash related then? [06:39] lotuspsychje, Firefox plays webms natively. From what I can tell via bughunting, this may be an issue caused by gstreamer-0.10-ffmpeg getting removed [06:39] ah [06:39] N3X15: reinstall then? [06:40] It's gone from the repo [06:40] N3X15: wich ubuntu version? [06:40] wily. [06:40] !find gstreamer [06:40] Found: gir1.2-gstreamer-0.10, gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0, gstreamer-tools, gstreamer0.10-alsa, gstreamer0.10-doc, gstreamer0.10-gconf, gstreamer0.10-nice, gstreamer0.10-plugins-base, gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-dbg, gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-doc (and 131 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gstreamer&searchon=names&suite=wily§ion=all [06:41] gstreamer-1.0-libav is supposed to fix it, but firefox isn't compiled against 1.0 in upstream yet [06:41] and I don't feel masochistic enough to set up their horrifying buildsystem tonight [06:42] hmm, apt-cache shows a whole bunch of it, not sure whats the replacement [06:42] Oh well, Chromium it is, for now. [06:42] Thank you, lotuspsychje [06:45] N3X15: perhaps a firefox purge, and reinstall will do the right dependecies also? [06:45] N3X15: also sure your up to date to latest? [06:46] lotuspsychje, Yep, just did an apt-get update an hour ago. I'll try blowing out firefox tomorrow. [06:46] N3X15: good luck, if you found it solved, plz come tell us [06:46] N3X15, I too am curious. [06:49] cfhowlett, lotuspsychje, still not working after purge and reinstall. [06:49] haven't been able to replicate the problem so can't advise further [06:49] http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html is the page I used, for the record. the ogg and mp4 play fine. [06:50] N3X15: plays like a charm here [06:50] Trying with a fresh profile. [06:50] thanks for that link! bookmarked [06:51] Yeah, still failing, even with a fresh ~/.mozilla/firefox [06:52] I'm going to blame firefox's gstreamer support and call it a day. [06:52] N3X15: can you doublecheck lsb_release -a [06:52] N3X15: if your on 14.04.4 [06:52] wily, lotuspsychje [06:52] oh [06:52] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1323822 [06:52] Launchpad bug 1323822 in libav "Firefox can not play some WebM videos generated by avconv on Trusty" [High,Fix released] [06:53] lotuspsychje, yeah, it's not with a particular format, it's with all webms. [06:54] avconv! not ffmpeg === N3X15_ is now known as N3X15 === Drac0 is now known as Guest8364 [07:09] rkhunter on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS has issues.rkhunter --update Checking file i18n versions [ Update failed ] [07:11] N3X15: check apt-cache policy libav-tools to see version?
