[01:48] hi all. im having trouble with installing server to a multipath target. i'm using the "install disk-device/././." option, but not getting a multipath device in the partitioning step.. going to another tty and running multipath -l shows me "mpatha is being ignored". there's no xenial bugs regarding multipath on launchpad. can anyone suggest the next step in diagnosing why mpatha is being ignored? [02:18] does anyone know if xenial universe exists? [02:20] Fudge: Of course. [02:21] ok, just was getting a sum mismatch on use.archive.ubuntu.com [02:30] Fudge: Try again later, or try a different mirror. [02:32] is there any way to get openjdk7 back in 16.04? [02:34] I'm sure there will be a ppa to get it [02:39] i guess i can make that ppa >_> === ibm is now known as Guest55348 === Guest0 is now known as thisguy [05:44] kernel freeze today [05:59] Hai, any reason why Xenial are not using Ffmpeg 3 ?

[06:05] because ffmpeg 3 came out on February 15th, which is pretty late in the release cycle to be pulling in new major versions of widely-used packages, i expect [06:22] Regards. [06:22] ladyTalus: few weeks indeed [06:23] All the best coders are hard at work right around the clock right now. [06:23] It should be good. [06:23] ladyTalus: its already good [06:23] running daily here pretty stable [06:24] I've chosen to stick with 15.10 until doing a full upgrade. [06:24] http://lotuspsychje.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-16-04-64bit-Development-branch-598369242 [06:24] That does look impressive.

[06:27] http://lotuspsychje.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-16-04-64bit-Development-branch-601374206 [06:27] and here my netbook [06:28] that's unity? [06:29] yep [06:29] the netbook has no problem with it? [06:29] ladyTalus: with a tweaked launcher to bottom [06:29] ladyTalus: 4gig ram and samsung 850 pro ssd inside, unity is like a rocket :p [06:30] which cpu? [06:30] 6sec boot, 3 sec halt [06:31] which CPU? [06:32] ladyTalus: amd ft1 [06:32] single thread passmark = ? [06:33] my mini pc handles like a dream but my single thread passmark is over 1000. [06:33] however the cpu is not so overpowered that i feel as though i am never pushing it. [06:33] ladyTalus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15664405/ [06:35] what do you call the cpu when you buy it? [06:35] http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+E-300+APU [06:35] yours is only 1GHz. [06:35] that there is 1.3. [06:36] But look how low the single thread is even at 300MHz more. [06:36] 342 single thread?? [06:36] when you check for software updates how long does it take to complete? [06:36] ladyTalus: that depends how big the updates are [06:37] ladyTalus: on ssd everything goes fsater [06:37] but doesn't anything meaningful on that PC lag badly? [06:37] faster [06:37] nop [06:37] what if you use something like veracrypt? It must take 5 minutes just to mount a container. [06:37] ladyTalus: its a netbook... i dont use heavy works on it [06:38] i've never seen someone satisfied with a CPU with a single thread score of less than 350. [06:38] for reference, the broadwell celeron has a single thread of 800 or so. [06:38] you focus too much on cpu [06:39] i rather have an overal smooth system [06:39] i browse with a dual core 1.9GHz and when i look at system monitor i see both cores getting a good workout [06:39] just browsing around the web. [06:42] ladyTalus: how fast does your pc unpack a 4gig rar? [06:42] Never yet tried. I have a speedy mSATA and 8GB of RAM. [06:42] ladyTalus: wich hd brand? [06:43] But I don't feel like my system is overpowered except for having at least 2GB more RAM than I ever need. [06:43] Kingston. [06:43] ssd? [06:43] Yes. It's an mSATA. I'll show you.

[06:45] For an extra 60GB you can get the 120GB for only $52. [06:45] i payed 94 for my samsung pro 850 128gig [06:46] how long ago? [06:46] yesterday [06:46] 94 euro that is [06:47] Really?? [06:47] You bought it yesterday? [06:47] yep [06:47] Your netbook was bought yesterday? [06:47] plugged my evo in my desktop [06:47] or upgraded yesterday? [06:47] Oh. [06:47] upgraded [06:47] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDt42Vs-teI&list=PLhj6R3nBEgyIdyIVKV2XDfDUdyhcWsWpw&index=11&nohtml5=False [06:48] Listen here and tell me how that sounds on your headphones or speakers. [06:48] I just upgraded my sound card by plugging in a USB device as shown here: [06:48] http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-UCA202-Audio-Interface/dp/B000KW2YEI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460011712&sr=8-1&keywords=behringer+usb+sound [06:48] Now my sound settings as configured for Digital Stereo Out. [06:49] The sound quality is an outstanding and a noticeable improvement from using the sound card built in my PC. [06:50] ladyTalus: perhaps we should move this to #ubuntu-discuss, keep the room free for xenial issues :p [07:24] How is the beta looking is it looking like the LTS release will be good or bad? [08:04] Can you download a beta or alpha of 16.04? [08:26] Hello. Kernel update linux-image-4.4.0-16-generic broke my DELL Inspiron 7599. VLC stopped working and VPN stopped working, also on reboot only got black screen. I did apt-get purge of that kernel but VLC and vpn are still not working. How can I fix? I tried to reinstall linux-image-4.4.0-14-generic in case that would fix things but it could not be reinstalled. [08:29] DELL Inspiron has skylake and nvidia geforce gtx. [08:39] I just had a crash trying to install 16.04 beta 2. Wouldn't figure a crash before I even started using 16.04 beta. [09:15] hello. Could u tell me which server of x11 is present in 16.04? [09:19] Where is the best place to get a docker container with ubuntu 16.04 installed? ubuntu:16.04 has no networking installed [09:24] X.Org X Server 1.17.3 [09:24] Release Date: 2015-10-26 [09:24] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [09:25] sgbirch, what do you mean no networking installed?

[09:31] The path looks good, net-tools and iproute2 are both installed [09:31] oh .. hang on, I was on trusty and not in a container .. one set [09:32] correction! the PATH is correct, net-tools and iproute2 are not installed [09:43] Ubuntu and Debian isos updated at work :) [09:46] now waiting for the 16.04 isos :) [09:49] tracker9, really? This is from an beta 2 iso I installed a week ago. [09:50] I fixed the vlc... the issue was needing to switch to nvidia chips using prime-select nvidia. [09:54] server_, how could i check version bundled in daily ISO? [09:55] From a terminal, I typed: startx --version [09:55] it gave the versions at the start. I don't know how to check the daily ISO builds for what is included. [09:55] (never new there were daily isos) [09:59] sgbirch: it looks like the -core builds stopped at end of March, and also, that the 16.04 builds do not contain a lot of packages that the 14.04, etc., images do contain (been looking at the manifests on partner-images.canonical.com) [10:11] server_, next time warn that startx even with -version will launch another xsession pls [10:11] its 1.18.1 in daily iso [10:20] !info linux-image-generic [10:20] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.

[10:38] sgbirch: I've just reported bug 1567349 [10:38] bug 1567349 in cloud-images "partner-images (for Docker, etc) seem to be missing key network packages" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1567349 [10:39] thank you .. is there anything I can do to help? [10:40] sgbirch: I suspect it is intended from what I found [10:41] TJ-: why would they want to do that? [10:44] sgbirch: I don't know, but you'll see the images on partner-images.canonical.com (where the Docker images are) are different to those (that include the network packages) on cloud-images.ubuntu.com, so I'd recommend you manually fetch the 16.04 image from there [10:49] TJ-: I wonder if the objective is to encourage the use of LXD instead of docker [10:50] GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed [10:50] TJ-: I know they are different animals, but many people (myself included) will be making that decision. I can use either for my current project. [10:50] I get the above message, after I installed linux-image-4.4.0-16-generic. [10:51] sgbirch: I wondered about the images having 'core' in their titles. Possibly its the absolute minimum image without an assumption of networking being required. [10:54] TJ-: hmmm .. that would make more sense than my conspiracy theory :-) [10:57] sgbirch: but it does seem a bit counter when they're talked about as 'cloud' images [10:58] sgbirch: rather like sending the eunuchs into the harem and expecting the pitter-patter of tiny feet in 9 months time :) [10:58] TJ-: lmao - perfect analogy [10:59] TJ-: yeah, a cloud image with no networking is pretty strange [11:02] Are the images pre-configured to do IPv6 RA and SLAAC? I recall some talk of LX{C,D} images going IPv6 only; this may be related [11:02] sgbirch: if you're expecting IPv4 that may well explain it [11:03] TJ-: how can I check? [11:05] TJ-: ahh .. apt-get update works .. I had just *assumed* it had no networking [11:05] TJ-: I think you nailed it, ipv6 only installed in the container [11:06] TJ-: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1525420 [11:06] Launchpad bug 1525420 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "[xenial] daily server image - no network after install" [Undecided,Expired] [11:08] sgbirch: I don't think that bug report applies at all; that's for the ISO server install images, for bare hardware [11:08] TJ-: Oh yes, sorry [11:09] I recall the discussion about the LXD/IPv6 only stuff in one of the ubuntu developer channels some time ago, I'll see if I can find it in my logs [11:12] here we go. this was in the context of LXD discussions about DHCP, dnsmasq, and lxc vs lxd [11:12] 2016-03-21 20:52:03 infinity stgraber: How do guests get IPv4 connectivity? [11:12] 2016-03-21 20:52:20 stgraber infinity: the guest won't have any connectivity by default except http through a minimal proxy [11:13] sgbirch: I'm guessing those -core images implement that... although that doesn't explain why the -core images going back to 15.04 also don't have those network packages, unless this was a build-service change that affects all release images built since [11:13] TJ-: yes [11:14] TJ-: it still seems like a pretty bad thing to do :-( What is the answer to the question about getting IPv4 connectivity? [11:15] TJ-: I am sure I am not the last person who will stare blankly in dispair at what appears to be a completely broken container! [11:15] Hi folks [11:15] sgbirch: I'm not clear on that; these images aren't strictly Ubuntu - these are hosted on Canonical's site so it's different [11:16] sgbirch: but you can see the Vivid/15.04 manifest also shows it missing those packages. Today's Trusty and Utopic builds do have the packages. https://partner-images.canonical.com/core/vivid/current/ubuntu-vivid-core-cloudimg-amd64.manifest [11:17] sgbirch: and those 15.04 package build dates are January, so it's not something recent [11:18] TJ-: given that it has been this way for a while it is strange that google didn’t find any discussion on it. I must not have found the right search terms [11:20] sgbirch: you're not alone; my search-fu is usually HOT but I've not found anything. On a side-note I did find this, which might explain *how* the images are created http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/datasources.html#no-cloud [11:24] Hello, I am not able to install unity8 on ubuntu16.04 beta2 [11:24] its day Unable to locate package [11:24] !unity8 | sjoshi [11:24] sjoshi: Unity8 is the next Unity Desktop running on Mir.

It seems that apt-get install net-tools solves the problem [12:12] sgbirch, odd that wasn't installed by default... [12:19] sgbirch: so, that infers there was network connectivity already! [12:20] TJ-: yes .. it was just no tools installed, that fooled me [12:20] sgbirch: so presumably the images are configured to auto-configure, so to speak. For IPv4 that'd mean DHCP enabled, via either ifupdown or NetworkManager, or if IPv6 then RA and SLAAC should be sufficient [12:20] sgbirch: did you check /etc/network/interfaces to see if it was pre-configured? [12:40] TJ-: I just checked. /etc/network is not present but there is a file called /etc/networks which contains one line: [12:40] # symbolic names for networks, see networks(5) for more information [12:40] link-local 169.254.0.0 [12:40] I lied .. two lines [13:21] I currently have "timidity" slowing down my system considerable.

[14:56] upp: i got it installed both on desktop + netbook working like a rocket [14:56] nothing broken yet [14:57] ^^cool [14:57] install once, and then `apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade` daily and you'll be fine [14:57] or, reinstall the ISO daily for daily testing [15:00] tewar: or, reinstall the ISO daily for daily testing -> that's only if i want to test something in daily? [15:01] teward: ^ [15:04] if i install daily today, and tomorrow i run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade i get the new daily?

[17:58] is anyone here ? [17:58] So, it's not stable/unchanging, but it is getting there. [17:58] ok thanks [17:59] If you're asking because you want to upgrade important stuff, the answer would still be "no that's a terrible idea" [17:59] we've had stuff come up *very* late in the cycle that needed fixing before, the next couple of weeks are not just a formality [18:00] (personally, the Ubuntu servers I have at work are on 14.04 and won't be going to 16.04 until 16.04.1, assuming we decide to upgrade them) [18:01] (for desktop users on 14.04, I'd probably wait until a week after release, or 16.04.1, depending on risk aversion) [18:20] Hello. Trying out 16.04. Previously (in 15.10 eg.) I could alt-tab between different program windows and alt-` between windows of the same program. This latter behavior is absent in 16.04. Is this a bug? [18:25] ratrace: i think it got fixed this AM [18:25] ratrace: trying to find you a bug # [18:26] nacc: it's okay if it's a bug. I Was afraid it's a "feature" of the so called "evolving" and "progressing" GNOME... :) [18:26] ratrace: no, i believe it was an xorg issue, actually, fixed now [18:26] great, thanks for confirming and checking! [18:27] ratrace: yeah, that's based purely on my IRC logs mind you :) [18:27] :) [20:18] Hi, will Ubuntu 16.04 include a working version of mir? (able to support 3d games) [20:18] !unity8 [20:18] Unity8 is the next Unity Desktop running on Mir. It is already used on the smartphones running ubuntu-touch (!touch) and can be tested on the Desktop with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8inLXC [20:19] strahl: neither wayland nor mir are productionready for desktops. they just gained first support by nvidia, for example. [20:19] nvidia just released a driver with _first_ support for walynad and mir. [20:19] k1l_ if my graphics card is Nvidia, should it work? [20:20] you need to get that driver from the nvidia website. and i think there is only the lxc version of unity8 and mir available now. [20:21] k1l_ ok. And nouveau? [20:21] k1l_ should it work just like in X windows? [20:21] no [20:22] its still in development, as said above. [20:22] k1l_ ok, thank you for the information! [20:23] you could ask in #ubuntu-mir for the exact state. but i doubt they will say "its just like x works now" [20:23] k1l_ ok, thank you! :) [20:26] how do I move the unity taskbar in 16.04 ? [20:30] gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher launcher-position Bottom [20:31] devslash: ^ [20:31] I thought that it was built into the GUI in 16.04 but you could do that command in older versions of ubuntu [20:34] no [20:35] the patch to enable it was just included into the unity version that is shipped with 16.04. you cant do that on older ubuntus without using a pathced version or patch it manually [20:42] can you change Bottom to any direction like Top or Right ? [20:43] try it [20:43] i only know of Bottom and Left [20:44] so it doesnt go into effect until you restart X.... [20:45] nope [20:45] it only allows for Top and Left [20:47] not Top, Bottom [20:47] err sorry [20:47] bottom and left [20:47] not top or right [20:48] so what do you need to do to install this patch in 15.10 [20:48] I like the launcher at the bottom a little better [20:48] build unity yourself with that patch included [20:49] ahh... sounds a little compalicated [20:49] sudo killall Xorg [20:51] I heard about a programmer who tried to end it all by rm -rf self...
