[00:28] <DocPlatypus> who here is running the 16.04 pre-release as their day-to-day system, and is logging in with either GNOME 3 or GNOME Classic (GNOME 3 with an interface more like 2.x)?
[00:32] <squinty> !details
[00:35] <DocPlatypus> squinty: I am considering upgrading because of an issue I am having with GNOME Shell wedging at the lock screen after unlocking, and was wondering if there are any big gotchas with that setup and/or if this specific issue has been addressed
[08:03] <shurtagul> Anyone know a fix to this bug for unity 8 lxc? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8-lxc/+bug/1425494
[08:20] <greyhilow> How does one configure bonding via libteamd in xenial?
[09:25] <thunfisch> Hi! I want to capture audio via ALSA & ffmpeg on a 16.04 server. I can only acces alsamixer with root privilege, ffmpeg fails because it can't see the hw:0 device. how would i best allow a normal user to acces the device?
[09:39] <thunfisch> ah, found it - add the user to the 'audio' group. thanks anway!
[10:50] <jubo2> Somebody has changed GNU grep default behaviour in the 16.04 ?
[10:50] <jubo2> I just get info that "Binary file freenode_##economics.log matches"
[10:50] <jubo2> instead of it printing out the matching lines
[10:51] <k1l_> what command did you use?
[10:51] <lordievader> Is it a binary file?
[10:52] <lordievader> What is the output of 'file freenode_##economics.log'.
[10:52] <jubo2> 'grep "regexgoeshere" filename.log
[10:52] <jubo2> lordievader: It is standard irc log made by Konversation
[10:52] <jubo2> so should be just UTF-8 all along
[10:52] <lordievader> Sure, but what is the output ;)
[10:52] <jubo2> ahh.. I saw wrong
[10:53] <jubo2> lordievader: freenode_##economics.log: UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines, with overstriking
[10:53] <lordievader> Hmm, you would suppose grep to read those just fine.
[10:53] <jubo2> lordievader: that's what it's been doing all these years
[10:55] <lordievader> jubo2: So what command did you use exactly?
[10:56] <jubo2> I know this looks bad
[10:56] <jubo2> 'cat freenode_##economics.log | grep "will be insulted before it ends"
[10:57] <jubo2> The sentence I am looking for is "##politics exists so the each and every participant will be insulted before it ends."
[10:57] <jubo2> is from Apotheker Jubohi's walls of answers in the box marked "Why does ##politics exist"
[10:58] <k1l_> is the output form cat freenode_##economics.log  correct?
[10:58] <k1l_> or is konversation using binary stuff that cant be read?
[10:58] <jubo2> Seems to be printing the log since year 2012
[10:58] <k1l_> jubo2: test it please
[10:58] <jubo2> I have older logs somewhere
[10:59] <k1l_> jubo2: maybe the kde guys changed to binary logs?
[10:59] <jubo2> it print out all
[10:59] <jubo2> end end without problem
[10:59]  * lordievader sees misusage of cats
[10:59] <jubo2> k1l_: dude. Why?
[10:59] <jubo2> sometimes I even properly apply cats
[11:00] <k1l_> grep "will be insulted before it ends" /path/to/file.log works
[11:00] <jubo2> k1l_:  nope
[11:00] <jubo2> "Binary file freenode_##economics.log matches"
[11:00] <jubo2> instead of the matching line
[11:00] <jubo2> this was standard default behavior
[11:00] <jubo2> and I don't get it why it is now changed
[11:01] <jubo2> and it isnt binary
[11:01] <jubo2> it is UTF-8 text
[11:01] <jubo2> there is no sense that the Konversation people would break stuff like this
[11:01] <k1l_> jubo2: works here with grep and my hexchat logs
[11:01] <k1l_> so i guess the konversation logs are rubbish
[11:01] <jubo2> nor the grep people
[11:02] <jubo2> k1l_: Konversation bestest irc client
[11:02] <k1l_> lol
[11:02] <lordievader> This might screw up your terminal, but what happens when you issue: grep --binary-files=text "some string" /path/to/file
[11:02] <lordievader> ?
[11:02] <k1l_> what brings you "file logfile.log"?
[11:02] <jubo2> k1l_: it says what I said
[11:02] <jubo2> UTF-8 encoded Unicode text
[11:04] <TJ-> jubo2: try "iconv -t ASCII freenode_##economics.log | grep "will be insulted before it ends"
[11:04] <lordievader> Ah: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/19907/what-makes-grep-consider-a-file-to-be-binary
[11:04] <jubo2> lordievader: that prints
[11:04] <jubo2> the line I'm looking for
[11:05] <jubo2> TJ-: I don't want ASCII, I want mah usual UTF-8
[11:05] <k1l_> jubo2: that logfile is broken
[11:05] <jubo2> ASCII doesn't contain enough chars for reasonable logging of irc and similar network
[11:06] <jubo2> damn.
[11:06] <jubo2> One thing I should disclose
[11:06] <TJ-> jubo2: try "iconv -t UTF-8 freenode_##economics.log | less "+/will be insulted before it ends"
[11:07] <jubo2> I moved the log files using 'tar cvzf irc-logs-date.tar.gz *.log'
[11:07] <jubo2> but it'd really be weird if tar or gzip was mangling the files
[11:07] <jubo2> hmm..
[11:08] <jubo2> I have the old OS intact
[11:08] <jubo2> on another hard drive
[11:09] <jubo2> that slides in and out from to slot by the side if the cover is not attached
[11:09] <jubo2> I should prlly boot to there at some point and see if the problem reproduces
[11:12] <jubo2> I /j konversation
[11:50] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[11:52] <LogicalDash> hi BluesKaj
[11:53] <BluesKaj> hey LogicalDash
[12:21] <touil> Hello, I have a question about cpufreq in ubuntu 16.04
[12:25] <touil> I'm running it on a netbook with atom n450 processor, and I cannot manage to force the cpu to run at only 1GHz.
[12:28] <BluesKaj> touil, ondemand is usually the default
[12:32] <touil> BluesKaj: thank you for your answer. I used to install indicator-cpufreq on my old ubuntu 12.04, which allowed me to switch between conservative, performance... and to force the usage of only 1667 Mhz, or only 1333 Mhz or 1GHz. But now, clicking on 1Ghz does not set the frequency to 1Ghz anymore. Furthermore, cpufreq-info says that 1GHz frequency  is used 0% of time.
[12:34] <BluesKaj> touil, think it's a bit early in the game for cpufreq-utils to adapt to 16.04 , you may have to live with the auto settings for now
[12:35] <touil> BluesKaj: Is it a kernel issue or something else ?
[12:36] <BluesKaj> touil,  no idea
[12:37] <touil> Do you know if there is an irc channel dedicated to cpufreq-utils ?
[12:41] <lordievader> touil: What is the output of 'grep FREQ /boot/config-<kernel-version>'?
[12:41] <lordievader> !paste
[12:44] <touil> Do I need to reinstall cpu-frequtils for that ?
[12:45] <lordievader> touil: No.
[12:45] <touil> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15628875/
[12:46] <lordievader> Your kernel should support it.
[12:50] <touil> So I don't know why I can't force userspace 1GHz.
[12:51] <lordievader> What command are you using?
[12:52] <touil> sudo cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 1000000
[12:53] <lordievader> What happens when you set it to the powersave govenor?
[12:53] <touil> Command ?
[12:55] <lordievader> sudo cpufreq-set -g powersave
[12:58] <touil> Oddly enough, now it looks like 1000 Mhz is in use... I uninstalled cpufreqd. Do you think it has something to do with it ?
[12:59] <lordievader> It shoudn't
[12:59] <lordievader> shouldn't*
[13:02] <touil> Well now, everything seems to work.
[13:02] <touil> Thank you everyone for your help.
[13:27] <malu72> hello. is it possible to install openjdk 7 on ubuntu 16.04? It got removed from the repos but it is needed to compile android
[13:31] <TJ-> malu72: strange, I have a 16.04 chroot from March 5th that does have openjdk-7 ... I've asked in #ubuntu-devel for you
[13:40] <malu72> TJ-, it was removed on the 30th of March
[13:40] <teward> malu72: you can always try and grab the older copy and manual install
[13:40] <teward> that's always a 'possible' way, though it's very painful to maintain
[13:40] <malu72> right, and all the dependencies
[13:41] <teward> mhm
[13:41] <malu72> really bad move because now omnirom and cyanoenmod and maybe others cannot be compiled anymore
[13:44] <TJ-> bug 1563986
[13:45] <TJ-> malu72: might be a good idea to ask 'doko' in #ubuntu-devel since I can't find any mailing-list or irc log discussions about it, so far
[13:47] <TJ-> from my March 5th chroot, there are a lot of reverse-depends on openjdk-7-jre, so I presume they've all been upgraded to openjdk-8-jre
[13:48] <malu72> probably
[13:48] <malu72> which might bring problems to you as well
[13:49] <malu72> TJ-, maybe there was no discussion. I saw the launchpad bug and one guy just removed it. at least in the bug there was no discussion about it
[13:49] <malu72> *report
[14:08] <Slashman> hello, is there any plan to update zfs on xenial from 0.6.5.4 to 0.6.5.6 before the release?
[14:10] <Slashman> the build is successful on http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/z/zfs-linux/xenial/amd64/ for this version
[14:44] <krytarik> Slashman: But for 'spl-linux' it's not, which it depends on: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/spl-linux/xenial/amd64/ , http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#zfs-linux
[14:45] <Slashman> krytarik: oh right, any idea how I can find any ticket associated with this issue?
[14:54] <krytarik> Slashman: Looks like you might have to file one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spl-linux/+filebug
[14:57] <krytarik> Slashman: Also, this is more suited for #ubuntu-devel.
[15:07] <krytarik> Slashman: However, you might also comment on LP bug 1561165.
[15:19] <Slashman> krytarik: thanks
[15:46] <shane__> running kubuntu 16.04 beta and it locks up when I connect an external monitor. Completely freezes.  Where do I start in solving this problem?

[16:42] <oparoz> Hello, can we also ask about KDE in here? QT related issues which make the desktop crash on startup
[16:43] <k1l_> oparoz: sure. but i dont know if the #kubuntu guys have an own unstable channel
[16:44] <oparoz> k1l_: This channel was mentioned in #kubuntu :)
[16:45] <oparoz> I reported a bug using the KDE crash reporter and it ended up upstream which said it was distro specific, so I'm looking at a way to reinstall all QT plugins

[19:00] <xatr0z> hi! i have ubuntu 15.10 running in an lxc container and want to upgrade it to 16.04. I dont have do_release_upgrade. Can i safely do s/vivid/xenial on /etc/apt/sources.list and do an apt-get upgrade / dist-upgrade / clean/ autoclean? Or will this break anything?
[19:00] <teward> xatr0z: do-release-upgrade
[19:00] <teward> that is not 'do_release_upgrade'
[19:00] <teward> underscore vs. dashes
[19:00] <xatr0z> dont have that either :)
[19:01] <xatr0z> the lxc container ia a really slimmed down version of ubuntu
[19:05] <jtaylor> xatr0z: it should work
[19:06] <jtaylor> disable your ppa's first and you might end up with some obsolete packages not removed
[19:06] <jtaylor> xatr0z: but if its a continaer why not just create a new one with 16.04?
[19:06] <jtaylor> also you could install do-release-update
[19:50] <Copyrighted> Stuck in a login loop
[19:53] <Copyrighted> Should I be more specific?
[19:53] <Copyrighted> Is anybody even on?
[19:56] <k1l> Copyrighted: more info, more help. what error? what says the log? .....
[19:58] <Copyrighted> it starts to login, then the screen blacks out and returns to login screen
[19:59] <k1l> loginto tty1 and see what belongs to root:root with "ls -al"
[20:00] <Copyrighted> apparently xorg.conf belongs to root:root
[20:03] <k1l> no, in your users home?
[20:03] <k1l> do you login as root?
[20:03] <Copyrighted> I really don't know
[20:04] <k1l> you dont know where you looked? are you sure a beta is the right thing?
[20:04] <Copyrighted> I switched due to needing the nvidia-361 drivers
[20:05] <Copyrighted> I can't scroll up in my tty1, so I can't exactly find my login permissions
[20:06] <k1l> what is the result of "whoami"?
[20:06] <k1l> and what is the result of "pwd"?
[20:06] <Copyrighted> my main user
[20:07] <hdpb> I have global menus set to "default" but i don't have any menus in Inkscape or Gimp. I did a clean install with my existing home folder last night.
[20:09] <k1l> Copyrighted: ok, another approach: test if the guestuser works on login screen
[20:17] <k1l> hdpb: try to set the setting for global menus back and forth. maybe the setting just needs to be set correctly?
[20:19] <Copyrighted> I got something: lsb systems management engine failed
[20:20] <hdpb> k1l: No luck. I tried choosing manually and choosing "reset to default"
[20:22] <Copyrighted> k1l: I just tried guest session, it was no good
[20:25] <k1l> Copyrighted: then look into the xorg log and syslog what is going on.
[20:29] <Copyrighted> how do I access the xorg log? It seems like all I can find are folders.
[20:29] <k1l> they are in /var/log/
[20:30] <k1l> you could use "cat" on cli to look at them. or "less"
[20:30] <Copyrighted> but that is a folder, I don't know what to access in there
[20:31] <k1l> syslog and Xorg.0.log are inside that folder
[20:31] <k1l> i really dont think a beta is the right os for you. better reinstall 15.10 when that worked for you.
[20:32] <Copyrighted> I would, but I don't have the equipment i would need to do that. I lost my jump drive.
[20:34] <Copyrighted> kl1: I got the error report. CRITICAL **: session_get_login1_session_id: assertion 'session != NULL' failed. That is what i found in the error report.
[20:45] <Copyrighted> so I have this error message: CRITICAL **: session_get_login1_session_id: assertion 'session != NULL' failed. And I don't know what to do about it. GUI Login doesn't work at all.
